THE ARMY.— Improvement in 1b: Platoon Exercise.— A. most material improvement in the Platoon Exercise has been recently made, and is now practised by the Coldstream Guards-.— Ac- cording- to the old regulation for the performance of the Platoon Exercise, after the priming and load- ing is effected, the n re lock is shouldered, and upon the word of command, " ready," being1 given, the soldier brings his firelock to ihe recover and cocks, and remains in that position till he receives the word, " presentj" when he levels his piece at the supposed object to he fired at.— Instead of adhering to this system, the improved method prescribes that the firelock j after being- loaded, should not preparatory to its being fired, be brought to the shouidei, nor subsequently to the recover, but should, by a brisk motion, be brought close to, and across the body, to the char sin ft position, and when the soldier receives the command, " ready" he is to cock his piece in the same position?? and aft receiving the word, " presenthe is to elevate his firelock and take aim, before, by the command iiJirehe discharges his piece.— The advantages possessed by the new over the old system, must be obvious to every military man. By the improved method, justness of level, quickness of fire, and certainty of execution ( no mean objects) are de. inonstratively secured.— The motions of the pla- toon exercise, by the omission of the shoulder and recover are shortened ; the exactness of aim by the abandonment of the constrained position of presents i. r/ g from the recover, and the adoption of the natural attitude of the experienced fowler, of raising his gun to cover his object, is incontrovertibly estab- lished, and the practical effect of both combined, against an opposing enemy, powerfully illustrated. JT We have received the Paris Papers of Saturday by Express. Their contents are interesting and important. On the 6th inst. the installation of the Extraordinary Cortes took place at Cadiz, and on the following day, the Deputy Galiano stated, that fruitless efforts had been made by the Spanish Go- vernment to obtain the mediation of England. This we announced weeks ago; and fruitless, of course, every application must be, unless France would consent to accept of our mediation, which is not likely.

SHREWSBURY. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1823. HUNTING. Sir RICHAUI) PULESTON'S Hounds « ill meet" Friday, October 3d The Twemlows. At eleven o'clock. WORCESTER.— Tbe Mayor, Wm. Shaw, Esq aud Mr. Alderman Carden, were yesterday morn- ing occupied for some little time at our city police othce, in an investigation highly important to, and most materially affecting, the interests of the local tradesman. On Tuesday last, a Mr. Joseph Dean, of 24, Snowhill, Birmingham, made his appearance at a shop in Broad- street, iu this city ( which had been closed for some short time before), in tlie capacity of au Auctioneer, and there disposed of, upon his own account, a quantity of brass fenders, mahogany bed- posts, and fowling- pieces, to the best bidders, ' to protect the resident tradesman from that injury which must inevitably ensue to biiu from such inroads upon bis business, with which the heavy charges of rent, rates, and taxes, long credit, and bad debts, disable him from competing upon any fair terms, the Hawker and Pedlars' Act contains some very salutary enactments ; and an information having been laid against Mr. Dean, by an inspector of hawkers' licenses for this disiriet, for a contravention of one of those enactments, in the transaction mentioned, a summons for his ap- pearance to answer thereto was issued, and in obedience to which, he yesterday af ended. The complaint now heard against him was that of going from town to town, to sell, and exposing to sale, goods, wares, and merchandize, not being pro- vided, as the act requires, with a hawker's license, and which subjects iiim to a penalty of ten pounds. The act contains a clause exempting from its penal provisions persons selling goods of which they are ( lie " real worker or workers," or which were manufactured by " his, her, or their children, apprentices, or known agents or servants, usually residing with such real woikers or makers ow/ y," and upon this clause tbe defendant submitted tlie information could not be sustained, inasmuch as be was tbe actual manufacturer of all and every the several articles which he had been vending. To prove this three of bis workmen were in attendance, all of whom deposed to having been employed by the defendant upon the different articles, but it also transpired from their evidence that they had, during tbe time they had been iu bis service, worked for other people, which the Magistrates held disqualified him from the exemption ; and, moreover, they ruled, to entitle him to it, it was incunibcnt upon him to prove that every component port of his go ids, was either his own manufacture or of workmen exclusively employed by him; now it appeared that be was in the habit of purchasing the brass feet ready- cast for the fenders; the gun went through several hands besides his, as did also the bed - posts tlie Magistrates, therefore, after giving the case the closest attention, decreed that the information was clearly established, and ac- cordingly convicted the defendant in the penalty of Ten P< mnds for hawking goods without a license. Mr. Dean gave notice of bis intention to appeal against the conviction at the next Sessions, and has now to produce two sufficient, sureties to the amount of the penalty, and also of the costs, should judg- ment be affirmed. Mr. Dean is also liable to another information, arising from the same trans- action ; the act before recite 1 prohibits any person, either by himself or agent, being. a licensed Auc- tioneer or not, selling goods by auction iu any town or place not being' a householder there, or the same not being his usual place of residence. The penalty for this oii'ence being £ 50 can only be taken cognizance of in tbe superior courts. We have given this ease somewhat at length, deeming it. nf importance to the trading part of the com- munity generally. We were sorry to find that the above is not the only dilemma into which the aforesaid Mr. Dean has got himself by bis visit to Worcester. The information being disposed or, he was called upon to give sureties to answer tbe charge of an assault to be preferred against him at the next Sessions, by Mr. Juggins, of Broad street. It appears that this assault was committed shortly after the defendant received the summons, and, we imagine, conceiving Mr. J. who is a wire- worker, and therefore in- terested in his prosecution, to have been somewhat instrumental to it ( but which we have reason to believe was not the ca. se), at a moment of irritation, and being also in liquor, he, in the most, repre- hensible manner, struck him a violent blow in the face, which produced blood Not being prepared with the required sureties, be was taken to the City Gaol. Since writing the foregoing, we understand Mr. Dean has given bail in both eases, to tbe. satis- faction of the Magistrates, and is uow at large.— Worcester Herald, Sept. 26.

Mr. Beddoes's annual sale on his farm at Did. llebury, on Friday last, was attended by a very numerous assemblage of gentlemen aijd farmers ot this and the neighbouring counties. The noble Fat Ox was knocked down to Mr. Austin, at the enor- mous sum of £ 08. 10s. and was afterwards sold by that gentleman to Mr. Brooks ( a butcher of Chel- tenham) for 70guineas. This astonishing sum for one ox, when the best fat beef does not fetch more in the market than 4± d. per lb may serve to enable those who never saw that fine animal to entertain a pretty correct idea of his gig- antic size and enormous fatness. A two- vear old Heifer fetched £ 28,10s.; pair of 2- year old Bullocks £ 33 ; and the rest of the Cattle Stock fetched prices in proportion. The Southdown Sheep were considered excellent; then- size, symmetry, fatness, and superior wool, induced an extremely sharp contest between the bidders. A pen of two- years old Wethers fetched 51s. each ; and a pen of two. years old Ewes 32s. each. Such prices, in these tunes, sufficiently shew the high estimation in which Mr. Beddoes's breed of Cattle and Sheep is held by those who are curious in their selection of stock. Committed to our County Gaol, Richard Over- field, charged with the wilful murder of his infant son, Richard Overfield, by unlawfully administer ing to him oil of vitriol, in the liberties of Bridg- north ; John 11 i chard s, charged with stealing a parcel, containing two shirts, kc. together with three sovereigns, the properly of Mr. G. Thump- son; Darid Weale, charged with stealing ; quantify of malt and bacon, from the inalthouse of Mr. Charles Guest, of Broseiey. FIRE.— On Friday night, the 12lh nlfimo, just after midnight, it was perceived that the Cloth Manufactory of Messrs. Austins, situated in ( be town of Wnllrtri- Onderedge, was ou tire! An iuinie- diate alarm was given; ami, in a very few minutes, the engine belonging to ihe Norwich insurance Fire Office was on ihe spot, and supplied with water suf- ficient to commence its operation. The engine be- longing to tlie town was not so readily brought for- ward. The flames had, however, made so rapid a progress, that all hopes of saving any part of the building where the fire first made its appearance, or anv of the property in il, were abandoned ; and the attention of the persons assembled was directed to the buildings which formed the other three sides of ibe quadrangle. Here their very active and well applied exertions were most successful, and- property to the amount of several thousand pounds was moved into a place of safety ; the roofs nearest to the builds, ing on fire were pulled off', and the engines played so effectually as to confine the destructive element to its first victim. The damage done is estimated al between £ 4000 & £ 5000, the greater part of which is supposed to- be insured. Il is conjectured, thai the tire originated from some crack in the chimney of the steam- engine employed in working llie machinery, having permitted the sparks of ignited soot to com nrunieate to tbe bond- timbers ; and although tbe chimney was examined, aud swept to the very top on the Monday previous fo the accident, it escaped observation. The Archieves Christianisme, a periodical work published in Paris, states, that on the 6th of April last, M. Henoffer, Ihe Roman Catholic Rector of the parishes of M nllislausen and Steyneyg, n the Duchy of Baden, with Ihe Baron de Gim- mingrn, bis household, and forty other families, making in all 220 persons, publicly embraced the eforined religion in the Seignorial Chapel of itcyneyg, after which the adults received the holy ommunioii, according to tbe rites of the Protestant Church. The affecting ceremony took place in a Roman Catholic country, in tbe midst of a vast assemblage of persons of different religious de nominations, without the smallest interruption or disorder.

CHARLES TREVOR.—[ From the Doncaster Gazette.]— On Friday last, 19th Sept. an inquest was held at Stapleton, by T. It. Maudall, Esq. Coroner, on the body of the Hon. C. Trevor. This gentleman was riding, with twenty others, for the cup at Stapleton Park Races, on Tuesday, the 9th Sept. and when a full length before any of them, he came in contact with a post fixed for starting other races from, by which he was so seriously hurt, that he was immediately removed to Stapleton, where lie lingered, in a state of stupor, until yesterday week, when, to the great grief of his father, Lord Dnngannon, and other relatives, that were attending the mournful couch, he breathed bis last. Verdict— Accidental Death.— On Wed- nesday, the 24th Sept. the remains of the ( I011. Charles Henry Hill Trevor passed through this place for . interment in the family vault of the Duke of Grafton, in Fitzroy Chapel, Highgate. This highly accomplished young gentleman was second sou to Lord Dungannon, of Brynkynallt, near Chirk, North Wales, and had only completed the 22d year of his age on the day tbe melancholy accident occurred, as stated in the inquest above taken. Much as this distressing event is to be lamented, it is some consolation to his deeply afflicted parents and relatives, as well as to the public, that tbe most unremitting attention has been paid to him. Dr. Thorpe, W. Hey, Esq Leeds, Dr. Oxley, James Mnscroft, and Charles Oxley, Esqrs. were the medical gentlemen who attended him ; and his noble father, who arrived at Stapleton Park 011 the Monday after the accident, accompanied by Lord John Fitzroy, remained with him lo the period of his demise. Gamble, whose death hy accident at Oswestry Races is recorded in our 4th page, was formerly trainer lo Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart.— He was buried 011 Saturday last, in a very respectable manner, at tbe. joint expense of Mr. Edwards, clerk of the course, and Mr. Smith, of the Fighting Cocks Inn, Oswestry. — A correspondent remarks, it is singular that, iu 1821, tbe Hon. Charles Trevor, with Dunn and " Gamble, rode for the Cocked- Hat Stakes at Oswestry, and that they have each severally met their deaths by accidents in riding-. Visiting Clergyman this week at tbe Infirmary, the Rev. George Moultrie :— House Visitors, John Whitehiirst, Esq. and Mr. Evan Owen. The Rev. John Vane has been instituted to the Vicarage of Wroxeter, and the Rev. —— Sheppard to the Rectory of Eaton Constantiue, both in this county, on the presentation of tbe Right Hon. the Eai- 1 of Darlington. At the York Musical Festival, last week, there were 459 Performers in the Orchestra. The first crash of the Band iu the Dettingen Te Deum is described as singularly grand. The four days' performances were expected to net from £ 8,000 to £ 10,000. The coming of age of M. R. Ramston, Esq. son of Colonel Barnston, of Chester, on Monday last, was celebrated at Chester, and on the family estates at Farndon, & c. with the utmost entliii siasm, and with every demonstration t,-.' respect and festivity, hy the numerous friends and tenantry of tbe worthy and respected Colonel. Mr. Graham, llie aeronaut, ascended from Chel- tenham in his balloon, about half past four o'clock 011 Wednesday afternoon last, in view of an im- mense concourse of persons, ami at a quarter past six he descended in an open field six miles beyond Oxford Rapid Travelling.— The Aurora stage coach, through Birmingham and Stafford, arrived at Liverpool a few days since, after performing the journey in 22J hours. The distance from Binning, ham, 102 miles, was done in seven hours and forty, nine minutes.— It may be reasonably asked, ill what way the public safety is provided for during such unnecessary and very dangerous speed ? demand. Beans and Peas are likewise without which must be sealed up, and delivered at the an- v material change at present.

CONWAY BRIDGE.— The embankment firming across the Conway River, previous to the erection of the Bridge, has materially suffered ill conse- quence of ihe late continued wet weather, antl high tides. Many thousand tons have disappeared, which may in some degree lie attributed lo the sides of the embankment not being regularly faced with stones as they proceeded.— The part faced having escaped injury.

Mr. Curwert, at an Agricultural Meeting in Cumberland, lately made the following candid acknowledgment: " It would be in the recollection of the Meeting, that the last year he expressed himself dissatisfied with the alteration then pro- posed ill regard to the Corn Laws ; that he did not think the scale of averages proposed by persons in office was what it should he; in short, tiiat he did not think the prices intended to regulate importa- tion quite high enough. From what had since occurred, he had been led to conclude that he hail at that time taken an erroneous view of the mat- ter; for lie now thought that the prices so fixed were more advantageous lo all, than those which he would have adopted, hail his wishes been com- plied with. He owed this candid acknowledgment to himself and the Meeting. He thought that Lord Londonderry was right, and himself wrong— taking into consideration the peculiar connection of this country with other countries." Three- fourths of the crop of turnips in Norfolk has been destroyed by flies. The rose of the turnip- tops was first impregnated with fly. blows, which produced a small grey maggot, and as they increased in size, they became of a lighter colour, and gra- dually assumed Ihe appearance of a small grub. These insects in their early state ravaged the crown of the turnips, and as they acquired strength, some of them ate their way into the body of the veget- able: such turnips are in a slate of decay, anil w ill be totally destroyed ; others have fed their way down the rind, and have taken up their abode at the tap root. The Swedes at- e much less injured than the oilier stocks, and the latest sown of either sorts have hitherto escaped, probably from the circumstance of their bases not being sufficiently forward to re- ceive the egg, or fly- blow.

SPAIN. The contest which has been for some time car- ried in Spain has naturally excited much interest in Great Britain; and, while it has been our duty to record such facts as have transpired relative to its progress, we have had occasion lo lament thai, amid the conflicting details and sur- mises of party writers, so little knowledge of the real state and feelings of the Spanish nation was to be attained. Tbe want of this information is, however, now supplied by an excellent article in the number of the Quarterly Review just pub- lished and while we regret lhat its length pre- cludes'' owi* giving it entire, we trust tbe following extracts w ill he acceptable to our readers.— The article to which we have referred contains a suc- cinct view of the history of the human mind in Spain, giving a concise but distinct representation of the horrible reign and unchristian cruelties of the Inquisitiou— its extirpation of Jews and Pro- testants, and its coercion of human intellect— from the formation of the Hispano- Gothic mo- narchy to the beginning of the present disturb- nces. But we proceed to our extracts. After bringing the history of the Inquisition down to tlie eign of Philip V. tbe writer says— tf The number of general Autos da Fe during the reign of Philip V. amounted to seven hundred and eighty- two. The reports of fifty- four of those Autos, consulted by Flo rente, give the following number of sufferers. Seventy- nine persons committed to the flames; sixty- three burnt in effigy, eight hundred and twenty- nine punished by fine, impri- sonment, and infamy. The same historian makes the average pf persons burnt alive, every year, during that period, about twenty- four. This horrid persecution fell almost exclusively upon Jews and enthusiasts. The race of Protestants was utterly extinct." While the blood- hounds of Rome were iu pur- suit of this smaller game, the. sceptical notions which bad sprung up together with the philoso- phical taste of the court, of Louis XV. penetrated into Spain with French literature, and became as inseparable from tbe knowledge acquired out of the Spanish universities, as it was from that which was c ilied philosophy at Paris. This event was inevitable. The almost lifeless trunk of Spanish literature had been engrafted with a shoot from beyond the Pyrenees, which was now fast draining whatever sap remained in the withered roots." " The rei^ n of Ferdinand VI. and the early part of that of his brother and successor, Charles III. comprise the golden age of the Spanish liberal school. Philip V. their father, had looked upon the Inquisition as one of the main supports of his disputed right to the crown. Ferdinand and Charles began to regard it with jealously, by reason of the frequent encroachments on the civil au- thority, which that tribunal was continually at- tempting." < c The accession of Charles IV. seemed most favourable to the propagation of the French taste and principles. His unconquerable aversion to the cares of government, his passionate fondness for the chase, which employed his whole existence, aud the unprincipled dissipation of his wife, into whose bauds the whole power of the crown had Ludlow First Turnpike Trust.

But they were stiU too strong in the prejudices and inherited feelings of the nation. The libera/ ministers of Charles III. had continued in place under his son ; Sc Floridablanca, now raised to the rank of premier, was not unwilling' to sup- port some cautious attempts at. a change in the public opinion, which, without shaking- the founda- tions, should diminish the exorbitant influence of the church. The first periodical work in Spain had been published in the reign of Philip V. it seems, with little success. It was entitled Diario de I us Literatos, and confined, accordingly, to literary subjects. One of a more popular nature, El Censory was now established with a view to attack popular prejudices with the weapons of raillery and wit. The odds of such an attack were fearful. The assailants were soon oblig- edto desist; not, however, without a long- confinement in the Inquisition. In spite of this obstinate resistance, the bats and owls of the Spanish church saw with alarm some feeble rays of light which, through the crevices of that massive, but old structure, began to make its darkness visible. The universities had undergone a reform, which, without substituting' a good and efficient system of instruction, had, never- theless, abolished that scholastic course of educa- tion which, by utterly perverting the intellect, made it incapable of all future improvement. In- deed, the bias of the minister's mind had been stronger than his fears; and professorships for explaining the work of Heineceius, De Jure Na- turali et Gentium, curtailed of a few passages in a Spanish edition, were established at all the seats of learning. Young men of natural abilities, either from accidental hints, or by reading French books handed about- among sets of trusty fHends, who, for the love of knowledge, submitted to the daily fears of a call from the Inquisition, became their own instructors, and looked with Contempt on the dull teachers appointed by authority. tk By these means, and almost with the connivance of the government, were the elements of a party brought into existence, which, though averse, from principle, to many parts of the civil, and the whole of the ecclesiastical system of the country, vet ap- peared, in the original thinness of its ranks, and th cautious timidity of its movements, a manageable and useful auxiliary of the crown against the church. But events were at hand which showed to the Spanish government what sort of spirit they had raised, aud what an arduous work it would be to lav it. The French Revolution broke out; the declaration of the rights of man re- echoed through the Peninsula, and numbers were instantaneously initiated in the deepest mysteries of revolutionary philosophy. The Spanish liberals had hitherto been exceedingly moderate in their views and wishes. Though sceptics upon re- ligious subjects, they would have been contented of Philip II. Those who began to rally them against the constitution under the name of soldiers j of the Jaith well know their country. , Nor is it from ig'noranee of the real state of opinion that the opposite party ventured to establish a system in perfect contradiction with whatever is truly national in Spain. The legislators of Cadiz were fully aware that even the tempting offer of sovereignty would be rejected with horror by the people, were it not closely followed by a law which binds the faith, in perpetuity, on the neck of the sovereign nation. It is not, let it be observed, Christianity,: not the Bible, but the Catholic, Apostolic, Roman faith, 4 which [ says the Spanish Constitution, ch. ii. art. 12] the nation protects by wise aud just laws, forbidding the exercise of any other whatever. 1 The simple fact of attempting- to foist an almost republican constitution upon a nation that will not go one step with reformers, whom, iu perfect ignorance of their views, chance and distress placed at her head, unless they engage to leave her undisturbed in the exercise and enjoyment of its proud religious bigotry, stamps the liberal party with rashness, and shows their utter want of sound practical knowledge on moral and political sub- jects. An answer has been sug- gested by the leading Spanish liberals, which betrays the tho rough want of judgement which prevailed anions them, when they undertook to erect the Spanish monarchy upon a new fouudaiion. 1 The consti- tution,' they say, * would not have been received without tbe declaration that there is no tiue religion but that of Spain, and that, therefore, the exercise of auy other worship must be forbidden by law; but have we not contrived tbfc rest of the code so as to destroy the source of intolerance ?' In what manner? By making- that very intolerance a fun damental law of the state ; yet so as to be brought in contact with principles which, from their op- posite tendency, must cause an internal struggle, where, by your own admission, the party who awed you then, must naturally obtain the victory! Wise master- builders indeed! who being determined to raise a palace in the vicinity of a gull- powder magazine, contrive a train from the nearest fire- place, trusting that it will soon remove the nuisance. " We would not, however, offend a whole de- scription of men, comprising some for whose talents we feel respect, and some whose mistaken efforts in a cause which bears that most engaging of names— liberty— we sincerely both admire, and regret. Our sympathy for all who, in a country so long oppressed by an unlimited despotism, lose sight of every object but that of opposing its restoration^ pro- vided their zeal be pure, is as real as an intimate and painfully acquired acquaintance with its evils can make it. Yet truth must not be disguised ; nor shall we, from a mistaken tenderness, suppress our perfect conviction that, as there are not two sorts of beings so differing in their ideas and sentiments as those w ho, in Spain, bear the names of liberals and servites, no men are worse fitted to produce a moral and political improvement in the mass of the country than the former. Their knowledge is narrow, superficial, exotic. It has been acquired by stealth, in nooks and corners, under the constant apprehension of danger ; a poor crop almost choked with the weeds of spite and anger. The liberals themselves hardly know what they are agreed upon, except the destruction of whatever opposes certain general views of the party, whose tendency is to upset the whole structure of the monarchy. The Spanish nation is decidedly against them. " The only measure which for a time swelled thei ranks, the only lure which could gain them prose lytes, is one so utterly inimical to the peace and existence of all government, that it has shaken the very foundations of the Cortes themselves We mean the political maxim which, in letters of gold, has been graven to face the throne in the Hail of the National Congress : the pretended axiom front wh as from a geometrical definition, the liberals- have, with childish pedantry, deduced the details of il eager. to revenge themselves on the party w ho bail- seized the government in his absence, he might have convened a Cortes, which, though returned by. the method prescribed hy the constitution, would have repealed all the laws of their predecessors, and re* ce. ivcd the thanks of their constituents. But the impolitic, severity of lhat period, the absurd deter- mination to re- establish the Inquisition,. with every abuse of ihe old system, alarmed tin4 moderate men, who would have rallied round the throne had it not been beset hy monks and bigots. The cruel treat- ment which the leaders of the liberal party were made to endure gained more proselytes to the con- stitution than all their speeches from the tribune. A ric. li treasury, however, might have propped up the throne j'n spite of its injustice; a well paid army would not have trucked the decided superiority which they enjoy under a despotic government, for the vulgar honour of being a portion of the rabble- sovereign. But the want of regular, pay, and the. dreary prospect of a campaign beyond the Atlantic, infected the troops w ith the liberal notions which caused the revolutions of the Is la ; while the in- efficiency of the king's government, and his personal fears, when assailed by a Madrid mob in his palace, gave the constitutional system that renovated power which it has. exerted for three yen IN. " The result of this second trial is still more unfavourable than before. The constitution has worked for a considerable time without any let or impediment but those which its authors ought to have reckoned upon when they framed it. During* the period of its influence the number of its enemies has wonderfully increased among' the Spaniards. The moderate men of the liberal party soon found themselves, not sorereign.%, bat slaves of the more active and unprincipled among* them. The elec- tions were conducted under the most shameful iysteni of intrigue and intimidation. Popular com- motions, now honoured with the ancient name of Asonadas ( calls to arms), became the regular means of forcing the municipal authorities into whatever measures the secret associations of Freemasons had decreed. Thescbisnj which, in the natural progress of such a system, broke out among the Liberal", ivideti them into Freemasons ami Communeros, who, plotting*; secretly against each other, employed the mob alternately in their service. Ministers were forced upon the king or dismissed from the cabinet as different lodges found means to hire a strong party of the ruffians who inhabit the Darrios of Madrid. The Cortes, under ihe cloak of a dig- nified gravity, tried to conceal their inability to direct the concerns of the kingdom; while by frequent appeals to a powerless, dependent, and fettered executive— the creature of intrigue and conspiracy, they sheltered themselves from public blame : the provinces, in the mean time, groaned under all the evils of a disorganized administration, the dark plots of the secret societies, and the outrages of the armed parties, both Faithjul and Const itiU t inn a lis I s. " The state to which the constitutional system of Spain has reduced that unhappy country is appa- rent in the. reception which the French armies have met with. The well- known national antipathy, so lately roused to madness by Buonaparte's invasion, has given way to a sense of distress which anareiiy had made general. The same majority of the nation which, a few years si ace, rushed blind with fury upon the French ranks, has now hailed them as their liberators. The leaders of the constitutional armies are not proof against the decided turn of public opinion ; and not a trace of the liberal system would be left, by this time, but for the strong places whose walls shelter its. friends from their enemies without, and enable them to awe those within."

Far from being the enemies, they had been, till that period the staunch supporters of the throne. The Spanisl liberals of the original school had all the characte istics of an aristocracy— an intellectual peerage, w ho, bv the assertion of their own mental rights, seemed likely to diffuse the benefits of a gradual, hu neral, emancipation. But when a philosophical mob began to gather about them; when the repub lieati catechisms of France had found their way to he hands of those w hose only chance of figuring in the world was a complete overturn of the socia system ; when tbe ignorant conceived themselves i possession of political knowledge, the moment thei shallow minds had seized upon the notion of th natural equality of mankind, and the sovereignty o the nation ;— then it was that the men in power, wli had hitherto encouraged the growth of a liberal party, saw the magnitude of the danger to wh they had exposed the country. Their measures to counteract the evil evinc hs. it might he expected, the character of the gove meat to which they were accustomed. The quisitors were let loose upon all suspected of repnh ' ic. au principles ; anil the doctrines of the Constituen Assembly were declared heretical, in the hope sinking them under the national detestation vvhic that word used to call forth. A persecution of the most atrocious kind was raised against every Freud man, high or low, literate or unlettered, whom long residence had rooted to their adopted soil. In formations were encouraged against them by the civ- judges, and hardly one escaped imprisonment f< lleged republicanism. The tradesmen were spoih of the savings of many years industry; the men learning were made to linger in dungeons wiiho friends, without books, without any thing th could minister consolation." u A sudden change in the unsettled policy of th court converted the bigoted, superstitious, persecut- ing Spain into the faithful ally of the French re public, the supporter of'atheism by establishment. The principles which the Spanish government ha tried to quell by most barbarous measures, were now officially recognized as upheld by a neighbourin nation. Yet, the Inquisition was lo oppose th propagation among the Spaniards ! Prohibitory edicts were annua lly issued against French books, which, being every day more greedily read, wet* too profitable an art icle of commercial speculation be shut out of the kingdom. In this state of things and during the interval between the peace of Basl and the aggression of Napoleon, Spanish liberalism gained the strength which enabled it to turn the con sequences of that invasion to its own advantage, organize its leading principles into a fundament: law of the kingdom, and raise itself above a king fetters, which they artfully concealed under th' trappings of the constitutional throne. " From the preceding' sketch, our readers wi we hope, be able to form a pretty accurate notion of the character and dispositions of the two partie into which Spain is divided. The bulk of th people are still the same Spaniards who howled 4 Long live the Faith !' around the flaming scaffold^ onstitution ; in a word, the sovereignty of the people ; one of those contemptible sophisms, wlric by the apparent simplicity of their enunciation, and he delusive oista into an unlimited field of know ledge hich they present to the mind, are npt to dazzle nd delude the ignorant, while, by the prospect of king off subordination, they entice and spirit up vain and the proud. 1 k The sovereignty resides essentially in the na- tion :' such are the words of the third article of the Spanish constitution But what is the meaning of sovereignty in this proposition? The idea of sove- ignty is inseparable from that of government: the person or persons, who have the supreme command political body, are. called the sovereign. The proposition asserts, therefore, that supreme command sides essentially in the nation. Supreme command, over whom ? Is the nation its own subject, like Selkirk iu his little island ? It might be so if this ideal sovereign had hut one will : such as he really he must reduce some part of himself to obedience. When, by some means or other, subordination is established, a government exists, in whose hands sovereignty must reside. Hence it is, that a people considered numerically and without a d finite political system, cannot possess that essentially hich is the very essence of that government which wants." 44 We should, indeed, be trifling with our readers patience, if, considering the proposition in question n unmeaning flourish of political pedantry, we stopped to weigh its terms with dialectical precision, " n order to expose the strange confusion of ideas which it betrays in its authors. But we have long tched the operation of this assumed principle of government, especially since it was picked up from the bloody dunghill of the French Revolution, as a pearl which could not be allowed to be swept away from the eyes of mankind with the hideous mass into which it was cast at that fearful period. We have observed its workings in Spain and Portugal ; we have seen it break out in Italy, marring and blast- ng, as is its nature, every tender bud of social im provement which might iu time have raised the con- dition of those interesting portions of the European family ; and we cannot close our eyes against the proofs which daily crowd before us, of the baneful activity which it exerts over the civilized world, cankering the peace and contentment of millions, perverting their best feelings, and giving a fatal direction to their courage; while, by a natural re_ iction, it renders imperfect governments suspicious and intractable, urges even the best to harsh and unpopular measures of security, and makes bleeding nd deluded nations turn back their eyes in despon- dency to the deadly repose of despotism. A mere spark of practical wisdom would have been sufficient to warn the authors of the constitution from the use of these intoxicating, these'maddening etrines. The proper topics for rousing Spain out of the indolent slumbers of a prolonged degradation \\ ere the inherent right of every free people to be governed according to fixed laws ; the necessity of re- establishing such institutions as had heen devised by their forefathers to balance the powers of the state. Nor were the aitihors of the Spanish code so hlinded by the love of the French theories as to have any excuse in the fu'ness and vehemence of an erroneous conviction. The report which they made to the Cortes, when Ihe new code was presented fo their sanction, is exclusively intended to recommend it as a transcript of the old Constitution of Spain ! The authors, it appears from that document, were anxious to obviate the charge of innovation. They Itad, if we believe them, only restored the constitutional laws to their primitive purity. The Alphonsos of Leon might recognize in it the spirit of the charters which had reared ihe Spanish monarchy from its cradle. The charters themselves, it is true— those documents which gave to Europe the example of her free cor- porate towns, were converted, at. Cadiz, info a de elaratioti of sovereignty of which every individual Spaniard might claim a share : Toledo and the meanest Village were, by some strange oversight, placed in the same predicament under the revived laws of the Visi- Goihs ; the old nobles and the bishops, by a similar accident, lost their weight in the country; and the three chambers of the Castilian, and the four orders of the Arragonese Cortes, were found to mean a mixed assembly to which every seventy thousand fraction of the sovereign may send a representative of any rank, fortune, or condition, to share the address of Majesty with a monarch, whose political relation with the Spaniards the language of the country wants a word to designate, since Fasallos and Subditos, which are equivalent to subjects, have been found unconstitutional. 44 The poisonous French drugs thus falsely labelled and passed upon the Spaniards as the wholesome,, unadulterated produce of their own country, were instantly detected and spurned hy a great part ofthe nation. Yet, besides the professed liberals, there were not a few who, fearing the misrule of the old system, gave their support to the new, in the hope tiiat practice and experience would improi e it. The trial, however, though not sufficiently lung to he a fair eye, gave strong indications of its unsoundness. The first general election which took place out of the walls of Cadiz produced a Cortes where the Con- stitution itself w. is in danger of being outvoted. It was preserved, in fact, till the King's arrival from France, by a small majority, supported by the cries and threats of the people who were hired to occupy the galleries. Had Ferdinand's advisers been less Isirotettutsi & Archery Meeting at Byrhlcif Lodye.— The fourth and last meeting for the present season of the Needwood Foresters was held at Byrkley Lodge, the elegant, seat of Edward Sneyd, * Esq. and was attended by a very numerous and brilliant assem- blage of tbe members and frieuds of the Society. The sports of the day, which attracted a large concourse of spectators, took place on a delightful and appropriate piece of ground in the midst of that beautiful demesne, which contains within its pre- cincts some of the finest relics of the aneientseenery of Needwood, and which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Shooting commenced soon after one o'clock and continued till four, when the prizes were adjudged as follows -.— The first Ladies prize, a beautiful gold bracelet, to . Miss Emma Sneyd. The second, a superb pair of gold ear- rings beau tifully enamelled and set with choice stones, to Miss C. Sneyd, of Keel. The first Gentleman's prize, an elegant draught board, to T. K. Hall, Esq The second to the Rev. Richard Levett.. In addition to the above, Mr. and Mrs. Sneyd offered four prizes : — The first, a gold ring beautifully set, was won by the Hon. Miss F. Curzon. The second, a magnificent vork- box, by Miss Mundy, of Shipley. The first j! e n tie man's prize, an archer's pocket- book with instruments complete, was won by Mr. William Holden, of Nuttall Temple. The second, a pair of silver grape scissors, by Captain Hall.— The prizes were well contested, and the adjudgement ofthe principal one to Miss Sueyd, daughter ofthe owner of the mansion, whose, shooting nothing could possibly surpass, gave great satisfaction. At the moment her bow was elevated all hearts panted, and a death- like silence prevailed, when no sooner did the arrow fly from the bow than it struck the centre of the target.; the band immediately struck up 44 See the Conquering Hero," whilst a shout burst from the populace. The fair victor was borne away by the young archers decorated with a crown of roses.— About 5 o'clock upwards of 130 ladie* and gentlemen sat. down to dinner, which was set out in a temporary pavilion erected for the occasion on the lawn.— In the evening, tea and coffee having beeh partaken of, dancing commenced, and was continued with much gaiety till a late hour, when an elegant supper concluded the festivities of the meeting.— The whole of the entertainments were marked by the same elegance and hospitality which have distinguished thein so eminently on former occasions. The weather was beautifully fine, and the amusements of the company and the gratifica- tion of the spectators was much heightened by the fine band of the Staffordshire Militia. The statement of Sudeley Castle being about to be rebuilt, is said to be incorrect. A further respite for fourteen days was received on Tuesday night last for Lowe and Henshail, who had been, ordered for execution at Chester on Saturday. PORT OF LONDOY,— It is stated, that more ships sail from the Port of London in a year than from all other places in the world united. It lias been computed, that the total amount of property shipped and unshipped in the Port of London, in one year, amounts to nearly Seventy Millions; and there are employed about 8000 watermen in navigating wherries and craft: 4000 labourers, lading and unlading ships ; 1200 revenue officers constantly doing duty ; besides the crews of the several vessels, occupying a space of nearly live miles. On an average, there are 2000 ships in the river and docks ; together with 3000 barges and other small craft employed in lading and unlading them; 2,300 barges engaged in the inland trade; and 3,000 wherries or small boats for passengers. The exports and imports employ about 4,000 ships ; whilst the cargoes that annually enter the port arc not less than 15,000. A NEW SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL DOMESTIC ECONOMY.— We have no hesitation in recommending to general attention the above- mentioned work, a third edition of which has just, appeared, com- prising ESTIMATES of HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES, adapted to Families of every Description. These Estimates will doubtless be found extremely ac- ceptable to the Public, as the only systematic attempt ever yet made to point out the means by which the various attainments of honourable in- dustry, and of the gifts of fortune, in their several gradat ions, may be made to administer, wit fi superior advantage, to the amelioration of the necessities of some, to the augmentation of the comforts of others, and to the more refined and more perfect enjoyment of the pleasures and ele- gancies of those of superior rank in life. They embrace- a range of Incomes and Expenditures, from One Guinea per week to £ 5000 a year, and upwards ; and, though the first of them are adapted to very low Incomes, yet no apology need be offered for their introduction ; on the contrary they are peculiarly applicable to the extraordinary circumstances of the present times, and, on account of their general utility, will doubtless recommend themselves, not only to the more opulent, but to young beginners of every class,— to those of limited fortunes— to such as may deem it prudent to re- trench, and particularly, to that numerous and valuable ciass of society, who depend on their own industrious and economical efforts alone, for the comfort, advancement, independence, and respect- ability of themselves and their fami'ies. THE TRANCE OF LOVE. [ FROM THE ITALIAN.] I. OVE in a drowsy mood one day Reclined with all lii. s nymphs around him, I! is feathered darts neglected lay, And faded were the dower* that crowned him; Young Hope, with eyes of light, in vain Led smiling Beauty to implore him, While Genius pour'd her sweetest strain, And Pleasure shook her roses o'er him. At length a stronger sought the grove, And fiery vengeance seemed to guide him, Lie rudely " tore the wreaths of Love, And hi'oke the darts that lay beside him ; The little god now wakeful grew, Aud angry at the bold endeavour : He rose, and wove his wrcalhs anew, Aud strung his bow more iiim than ever. When lo ! th' invader cried, " Farewell, " My skill, bright nymphs, this lesson teaches, " While Love is sprightly, bind him well " With songs and smile's and honeyed speeches; " But should dull languor seize the god, " Recall ine on my friendly mission, " For know when Love begins to nod, <> His surest spur is OPPOSITION."

There has been 110 preparation of casks for this season, on the supposition that the fishing would not be worth prosecuting; and, in consequence, the herrings on hand are selling for about four times less than their usual price.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.— The Magistrates of York have asked Counsel's opinion, whether, under the Prison Act, Magistrates are compellable to maintain prisoners before trial, and authorized to compel them to work. Messrs.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.— The fol- lowing singular circumstance has happened to a young woman in Maryport, which, it is supposed, originated in having drank unwholesome water in the hay- field, about six weeks since. Soon after, she was seized with a pain in her stomach, attended with a sensation as if something was creeping within it; but having eaten some salted provision, it probably ticcame an antidote; for on Sunday last she threw up a large dead worm, apparently of the snake species, upwards of half a yard long, and thick in proportion, spotted, or - ather striped all over. Having discharged the animal, she was immediately relieved from pain, and is now perfectly restored to health.— Carlisle Journal. Some gentlemen of a Bible Association lately calling upon an old woman to see if she. had a Bible, were severely reproved with a spiritual re- ply, " Do you think,' gentlemen, that I am a Heathen, that you should ask ine such a ques. tion ?"

It is but justice to tbe different overseers, and other officers of this parish, to say, that they have for several years past done every thing in their power to render the close of such a life as comfortable as such circumstances could allow. She has been, until within the last eight months, able to attend in person at the honrd- rooin to receive her weekly allowance, and since that time she has been regularly visited, aud her wants attended to. She continued perfectly rational until the last moment, and 11 few days before her death was conversing familiarly ahout tbe building' of St. Giles's church in the year 1733, of which she had a perfect recollection.

A very superior dwelling house in We copy the following from a newspaper published at Bolton, in Lancashire :—" A bleacher in this neighbourhood received, 011 Tuesday week, nearly 1,500 webs of muslin to be bleached ; they were bleached, returned, packed, and sent to a foreign market on the Thursday following." Ill most nevvs- papeis we have for a long time past observed para- graphs of this nature, and sometimes they have been prefixed with the words " proofs of manufacturing prosperity." Now, in our opinion, were the words " proofs of that which will, in tbe end, destroy tbe reputation of our manufactured goods abroad," they would he more appropriate. For how is it possible to bleach goods in this haste, without almost destroy- ing tbe quality of the goods? Il can only be accom- plished by employing very strong acids, or a very strong gas arising from great strength of acid. In fact, it may comparatively be called burning of good: Tbe females of this country may attribute to this burning of cotton goods the reason for the rapidity with which the washerwomen destroy their hus- band's cravats and night dresses made of cotton, as well as their own cotton dress, either wnrn in the day or night; and even the Irish linen bleachers have for some years pasl had recourse to this art of quick bleaching, which accounts for shirts lasting, in comparison with what they formerly did, so few- year*. Certainly the washerwomen may come iu for a good share of the blame— for what with tbe scrub- bing- brush and pearl ash, they weekly make sad linvoc with Ibis part of the apparel of his Majesty's subjects. But even here, good is seen to arise out of evil to a certain extent; for as machinery is brought to such a degree of perfection ( as it is called) that pieces are now produced where yards were formerly— tbe bleacher, with Sir Humphry Davy and other scientific men, together with the washerwomen, have found out tbe means— tbe one, to take care in the first instance that the British manufactured article shall not wear too long— and the other, that it shall be destroyed as soon as , sible. His Majesty's Ministers, from these two effects, are therefore saved much trouble in that part of his Majesty's Speech which alludes to the exportation of our manufactures, by regularly noticing Ibe con- gratulatory phrase, as to the " flourishing state of ihe manufacturing interests of the country." And then, by and bye, comes furth the ponderous Parlia- mentary Document, showing our exportation— never failing, at the same time, to insinuate, as far us they can insinuate, that it is to tbe wisdom of their Venus de Medicis.— It is not generally known that one of the fingers of the Venus de Medicis has been' supplied by a modern artist. The Gtornale Enci- clopedico, published at Florence, gives the follow- ing curious account of the fact:— 111 the time of Cosmo III. Lord Ossory being in Florence, was one day, in the company of the Grand Duke, contem- plating this wonderful statue, and offered him a' hundred thousand livres for il, if he could be in- duced to part with it : asking two months' time to procure the money from England, and adding that' ship should be sent from thence expressly for the purpose of conveying it. The Grand Dukesmiled- at the proposal, but, without making any reply,, turned towards the Marquis Malaspina, and desired him to note down his Lordship's name, and the affair ended as a piece of pleasantry. — Lord Ossory had a red cornelian ring, representing a Cupid, which Ihe Grand Duke having seen some days be. fore, had admired so much, that his Lordship wished to make him a present of it. His Highness, however, would not accept it; and upon this oc- casion the Englishman, with a delicate generosity, requested Cosmo, though he would not consent to part with the Venus, at least to permit him to marry her; to which the Grand Duke, having smilingly consented, his Lordship put the ring on the finger of the goddess, and fixed it as firmiyas possible; thus finding means to gratify the Duke with thecornelian, without wounding his self- love. Cosmo, thinking the representative of Cupid agree- able to the subject of the statue, suffered the ring- to remain; and the statue would still have been, adorned with it, had not a certain personage, ( the Italian journalist says, a foreigner of distinction )• wisely resolving lo remove from the finger of Venus this heterogeneous addition, clandestinely entered ihe gallery one day, and altemped to appropriate the ring lo himself. Being obliged to force it off, and fearful, perhaps, that he might lie surprised- he, in his haste, broke the finger! He, however, failed in his attempt, although in what manner is not stated, since the ring is still preserved, ap- pended to a little gold chain, ill the crystal cabinet of the Royal Gallery. Anecdote of Ihe late Right Hon. C. J. Fox, from a recent French publication by M.

The character of Mr. Ricardo may be very briefly stated. He was a man of much acuteness, and of a very deep knowledge, as a political economist; he understood Adam Smith well, and he even corrected some of his immaterial errors. Even in this respect, however, he added little to what the age before possessed, and his knowledg- e was of the less use, as it wholly stopt in theory. His system, if reduced into practice, would have rooted up the landed interest and aristocracy of England, aud would have turned us into a nation ofbarterers and manu- facturers. His three favourite principles were— first, that there was no occasion for any metallic circulating medium ; that it was quite sufficient if the Bank should be compelled to pay certain large amounts (£ 250) in raw gold or silver on demand • and that, by these means, ail coin might be g- radu- snuff- box, or other article, to such of the neighbours I ally and safely superseded by paper money.

He is uncommonly docile and quiet, and will, at the command of the children; leap over a stick four feet high, or dance for their amusement on his hind legs.

His third was, that a portion of every man's land should" be sold to pay the public debt.— As a financier, his merit must rest upon these principles ; and his whole merit, as a man, must rest on his merit as a financier. His religious principles ( to judge from his speeches) were as loose and wild as those of Mr. Owen him self.

Doberan ( MechlenburrfJ, Aug. 15.— Nothing, probably, has conduced more to the superior breed of that noble animal the horse than the ardour with which, during a long period, the English have pro- secuted the sports of the turf. All those, therefore, who take delight in rural economy and genuine improvement, will learn with pleasure that the Duke of Mecklenburg intends annually to set apart four days iti the nio., th of August for the encouragement of horse- racing— such horse' racing to take place at Doberan. The initiation has in fact just been wit. nessed Yesterday was the day, when a great num- ber of persons from all parts of the Principality floe!\ ed hitherward lo behold the interesting specta- cle. Upwards of four hundred equipages were on the ground. Every plaee of reception was crowded to excess, and though covers were laid for 600 per- sons in Ihe great dining- room of the Duke's Hotel, besides every possible arrangement being made by the minor Restaurateurs, yet so great was the num- ber of guests, that they were with difficulty accom- modated. There were six different Races.— Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Dukes, and the Princes William and Charles of Prussia, oblig- ingly condescended to take upon them the office of Stewards. The first prize was won by Mr. Von Mailer; the second by the horse of the Count Von B* t « sevvilz Probbere. de; the third by Colonel Ton MuUer- Smppow. The Alexandrine Plate consisted of two prizes, namely, an elegant Gold Cup and a Silver Cup. Mr. Von Beil- Zirow gained the first by a famous English blood mare; the second fell to the lot of Mr. Von Blucher. Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandria graciously presented the two cups to the winners with her own fair hands. The sixth and final race was rode by farmers on half- bred horses; 1 one JuCrs was the winner, beating five others. One of the countrymen, in too rapidly nli'vluing from his horse, had the misfortune to break Ins leg; he, however, not only received the general sympathy in kind words, but an immediate subscription was set on foot, and the sum of 300 dollars ( about£ 60sterling) raised, which he received upon the spot. The fn> t four races were run in excellent speed— about 900 yards English ( which is 20 yards more than half a mile) in one minute: and this applies not only to the English horses, hut- To the native Mecklenhurghers. In point of fact, the latter only could be entered for the subscription- plates. The race- ground has become most happily chosen. The distance is not far from the Baths.

Last year there was a very scanty crop ; this season is an overwhelming one. The Gazette of Tuesday night announces an intention of applying to Parliament in the ensuing Session, for leave to bring iu a Bill to permit the constructing, of a subterranean . double archway or tunnel, in and through the parish of St. Mary, Rotherhithe, and to be continued under the bed of the river Thames, into and through Si.

DREADFUL FIRES.— Ahout one o'clock on Sunday morning, a most alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Swafieid, a cheesemonger in the London- road, near the Elephant and Castle, and, from the nature of the property, burnt with great fury. In a short time the house and premises of Mr. Swafield were reduced toa mass of ruins; and notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen, the two adjoining houses suffered severely before the fire was got under. Mr. Walmslcy the pawn- broker's house caught fire, and although, by the quantity of water thrown upon if, the fire was extinguished, a great deal of the property therein was much damaged. The house on the other side of Mr. Swafield's, occupied by Mr. Harridge, who keeps an eating- house, had the whole of the back part of it demolished ; and the house adjoining the last- mentioned, occupied by Mr. Smith, a watch maker, appeared atone time to be in such danger as induced him to commence moving his property; in doing which, it is a melancholy instance of depravity to state, a case containing 30 new watches was stolen, notwithstanding that a number ;> f the Union- hail officers were active on the spot. The property destroyed is very considerable; but no lives were lost, nor any serious personal injury received. SALISBURY, SEPTEMBER 19.— A fire which threatened destruction to all the houses in the neigh bourhood, took place yesterday, at the house of Mr. Wheeler, hatter, iu the Market place. There says—" of subjects' castles, the most handsome 1 was a party at cards when it was first announced. habitation ; and of subjects' habitations the strongest castle"— arc once again to become cele. brated amongst the residences of our country's nobles. His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, who is now amongst our distinguished visitors, has, we understand, resolved upon buildin; a splendid mansion ou the site of the castle, which little more than two centuries ago was inhabited by the Lords Chandos. The chapel, which was in the civil wars stripped of its roof, is to be finished in its present form ; and Mr. Soane, the architect, at his Grace's request, lately camejfrom London, for the express purpose of visiting the ruins, which he did, accompanicd by the Duke. The building, we understand, is to commence immediately on a grand and extensive scale. The doubt an- ainst another year, the concourse of visitors 1 inhabitants of that neighbourhood have reason to uiiii u » prv o- rMt. I congratulate themselves upon this fortunate cir- will be very great upon The house being chiefly composed of timber, burnt rapidly. It had till within a few days been the property of Mr. Cooper, of Winterslow, who sold it to the owner of the late premises, Mr. Marlow's house was on fire; Mr. Leech's spirit . and gun- powder stores were also in flames^ but were ex- tinguished, or else the whole of the Butcher- row must have gone. The distance of the premises from the canal was so trifling that a speedy supply of water was procured, but no effort could prevent the fire from its course. An excellent party wail prevented the adjoining houses from suffering, except the Pack Horse, which was promptly pulled down. The Council House has suffered, more from the good intentions of the inhabitants than from the flames. The stones had become very hot, there was no chance of their catching fire, and as soon as the engines began to play upon the portico, the persons indebted to the estate, requesting the dis- charge of their debts, which applications were, without a single exception, resented as insults, and uniformly answered by a challenge. Indeed, we collect from various anecdotes that no greater nor more unpardonable affront can be offered to a gentle- man in Ireland than asking him to pay his debts; it is looked upon as a most impertinent proceeding, and the only discharge a creditor has to expect, in con- | sequence, is the discharge of a pistol. Possibly, contemplation of this frequent source of quarrel, and with the intention of striking at the root of it, the Legislature has providentially enacted, under the | Insurrection Act, that any person asking for money shall be convicted as idle and disorderly. The fol- lowing is the clause :— " And be it enacted, that if any person shall, within any proclaimed district, or within any county, any part whereof shall be so proclaimed, print, write, post, publish,, circulate, send or deliver, or cause or procure to be printed, written, & c. & c. & c. demanding any money, every person so offending shall he deemed and taken to be an idle and dis- orderly person." This provision must have most effectually put stop to the ungentlemanly practice of asking for j money in certain parts of the Sister Kingdom. Th | executor or tradesman who so far forgets the rules of good breeding as to require a settlement of his demand, is speedily awakened toa sense of decorum by the words of the Statute, and declared idle and disorderly. Such being the law, we cannot but think, that to vast numbers of persons the disturbed districts of Ireland will prove havens of refuge and tranquillity, where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest. St. Patrick, indeed, freed Ire- land from frogs and toads, and such small geer, but how much more grateful should its inhabitants be to the Statute that has delivered it from duns. Talk of nothing having been done by England for Ireland! Why what greater boon could be conceded than that of making her land the favoured sanctuary to which the distressed debtor may fly, and take the law of his clamorous creditor, if he has the assurance to ask him for a stiver. Be it ever remembered that there is a portion of the Sister Kingdom in which it is declared, by the wisdom of the British Parliament, a crime to demand money. It is expected that this clause in the Insurrection Act, when thoroughly understood, will bring all the absentees from Paris ; and farther, that vast numbers of our fashionables will in future leave London for the disturbed districts during Christmas, when every post brings long heavy letters, full of trouble and vexation of spirit, when the nervous tenant of many a proud mansion, exclaims, " bow is't with me when every knock affrights me?" There is no artifice which tbe creditor does not practise to deceive the fashionable debtor, and betray him into opening his new year's gift, like Pandora'* box in all respecti, reply, that they are called forth by the extravagant eulogies of a man, who was assuredly no earnest friend to the religion, and to what we deem the best interests of the country. Scientific an5 miscellaneous. Captain George T. Scobell, R. N. has recently submitted a plan to the Board of Admiralty, for applying impelling wheels, in periods of calm or smooth water, to the ships of his Majesty's Navy. It is applicable to every class of men of war, from the largest to the smallest; and the wheels may he worked by the hand winches or the capstan, and arc so constructed, that they may be dissected with facility and taken on board in 7 or 8 minutes.- The principle is available to steam- vessels, and would materially alter their character, extend their uses, and increase their safety.— It is also well calculated for small craft and open boats employed ou tbe preventive service, and for river and canal A curious experiment, promising some success, has lately been made in Paris. It is an attempt to preserve the large paintings of the most esteemed artists, by tbe employment of plates of pottery The different parts of a large picture are united by a composition, and so coloured as completely to disguise the joinings. The artists who are leaking this experiment hope by these means to produce works as durable as Mosaic, but of much easier execution, and at a very moderate price. SHIPS OF THE ANCIENTS,— The ship or galleon of King Hiero, that famous work of Archimedes, had ten stables for horses, eight towers with walls, besides fish ponds, mills, gar- dens ; in short, it was like a fortress, and many fair rooms paved with agate and piecious stones, & c.— Palairet's Treatise on Arts and Sciences. The Ptolemies kept up a formidable marine in the Red Sea and Mediterranean, to protect the Egyptian merchants. Theocritus affirms they had ninety- seven first rate ships, several of which were 200 feet long, besides a multitude of small vessels, and 4,000 barks to hear orders throughout the Empire.— Savary's Letters on Egypt. Under his reign ( 4th Ptolemy) were built vessels of so enormous a size, that they have never since been equalled. Plutarch describes one of his vessels with 40 benches of rowers, 373 feet Ion and 64 high at the poop. This enormous ship, beside which our three- deckers would seem small frigates, contained 400 sailors to work her, 4,000 rowers, and about 3,000 fighting men.— Idem. Domesday Book, one of the most ancient Rnd' memorable Records of England, is the Register from which Judgment was to be given upon the value, tenure, and services of Lands therein describ- ed ; and it has been more effectually preserved by being printed with a general dissertation, index, & c". pursuant to the orders, and under the inspection of the Royal Record Commissioners. The Commis- sioners' introduction is exceedingly interesting. Domesday Book appears to have been known by various other names, such as Rotulus Wintonice— Scriptura Thesauri Regis— Liber de W'inkmia, an$: Liber Regis. Sir Henry Spelman adds, Libt r J- ndi* ciarius, & c. Among Dr. Rawlinson's manuscripts in, the Bodleian Library at Oxford, is a fragment of a survey of all the manors belonging to the Deanery of St Paul's, taken in 1181, and culled Domisday Radalphi de Diceto. Dieelo was the Dean under whose directions it was made, A manuscript note of Bishop Kennett, also in the same library, in & Copy of Cowel's Law Interpreter, quotes the Domes- day of the Nuns of HaJiwell. This last, the Rerorct Commissioners say, it is probable was only a Leiger Book of the monastery. The exact time of William the First undertaking the survey is differently stated by historians. The Red Book of the Exchequer seems to have beea errnneniifiiy jjs fixino' the time of entrance upon it in 1080; it being merely stated in that record ( in which the original Dialogus de Seaccario is found), that the work was undertaken at a time subsequent to the total reduction of the island to William's authority. From the memorial of the completion of this survey at the end of the second volume, it is evident that it was finished in 1086. Matthew Paris, Robert of Gloucester, the Annali of Waverley, and the " Chronicles of Beruiondsey ;'* give the year 1083 as the date of the record. Henry of Huntingdon places it in 1084 ; the Saxon Chroni- cle in 1085 ; Bromton, Simeon of Durham, & c. in 1086 ; and the Ypodigma, ike. in 1087. Ingulphus affirms, that the survey was made in imitation of the policy of Alfred, who, at the time he divided the kingdom into counties^ hundreds, aud tithings, had an u inquisition" taken, and digested into a Register, which was called, from the place in which it was deposited, the " Roll of Winchester.'* Bishop Kennett, in his Parochial Antiquities, states, that Alfred's Register had the name of Dome- boc, from which the name of Domesday- Book was only a corruption. This may, perhaps, serve as a clue to the explanation of the name; though the Dome- boc was in reality the code of Saxon laws. It is noticed as such in the laws of Edward the Elder, and more particularly in those of Elhelston. The Saxon Chronicle furnishes a passage, under the year 1085, which enters minutely into the motives for the form- ation of this survey; and which, if correct, also fixes the time of its commencement to that year. By the completion of this survey, William I. acquired an exact knowledge of ihe possessions of the Crown. It afforded him the names of the land- holders ; it furnished him with the means of ascer-* taining the military strength of the country; and it pointed out the possibility of increasing the revenue in some cases, and of lessening the demands of the tax collectors in others. It was moreover a Register of appeal for those whose titles in their property might be disputed. Sir W. Black& tone has observed that, from the prodigious slaughter of English Nobility at the Battle of Hastings, and the fruitless insurrections of those who survived, such numerous forfeitures had accrued, that William was enabled to reward his Norman followers with very large and extensive possessions. Eadmer, Ingulph, and Henry of Huntingdon, complain heavily of the extirpation of the English from offices of honour, power, and emolument in Ch urch and State. Yet, continue the Record Commissioners, this must have been the natural cousequence of such a change as that which was occasioned by the arrival of the Normans. The soldiers and ministerial dependants of the Conqueror were to be rewarded ; and we cannot wonder to see them form the larger portion of the tenants in capite. We find the churches and monasteries, however, still retaining their ancient patrimony, in some cases with considerable additions from the Conqueror him- self. Of the importance which William himself attached to the completion of the survey, we have sufficient evidence at the close of a grant which he made soon afterwards to the Abbey of Westminster, And that the value of the great survey was tlio* roughly perceived at a time but a little subsequent to the 44 Conquest," we learn from Robertus Mor, tensis, who informs us it was imitated in Normandy by Henry II. The exact time of the removal of this record from Winchester to Westminster, if there were originally but one copy, cannot now he ascertained. It is described at a very early period in the Dialogus de Scaccario, as the inseparable companion of the Royal Seal. At Westminster it was kept with the King's Seal, by the side of the Tally Court, in the Exche- quer, under three locks and keys, in the charge of the Auditor, the Chamberlains, and Deputy Cham- berlains of the Exchequer ; till iu 1696 it was deposited among the valuable records in the Chapter House, where it now remains.
