FEMALE COMPLAINTS. Tbe nutritive and cleansing Powers of the Bnhn of Z'llra, or Phoenix of Life, are peculiarly adapted to the Delicacy ofthe Female Habit and Constitution, under those necessary Operations, designed by the Great Creator, for tiie Preservation of Health, the Continuation of lite Human Species, and the Felicity of Domestic Existence. It removes those Obstruc- tions,- which too often nip in the Bud the Promise of the future Blossom. It promotes the Secretions, and preserves the Course of Nature from Impediment; comforts, exhilarates, and supports in those import- ant and peculiar Periods, Puberty, Maturity, and the Change of Life: for tlie want of which', many of those lovely, interesting, and valuable Ornaments of Creation sink into an untimely Grave. The most sovereign Remedy yet found, is jti tbe exalted and inestimable Virtues " of the Cordial Balm of Zura,- or PhtEuix of Life; the greatest Restorative of ex- hausted Nature; hy a due Perseverance in which, the whole Muscular Fibres become invigorated, all the Solids which were relaxed, are hiuiied, every Office of Nature is properly performed.. Seize then the Opportunity which offers, for the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Plicenix of Life, possesses Powers w hich almost exceed Credibility, in restoring languid Na- ture, and invigorating the whole Constitution. COLD BATHING. Nothing is more conducive to Health than the frequent Use of the Cold Bath, when not taken to Excess; a single Immersion will answer every Pur- pose; for remaining too long in tbe Waier is very injurious. Judiciously pursued, it braces'the Fibres, and in every Period of Life gives Tone and Vigour to the Body, ' it enables ihe vital Organs to perform their Functions, it hardens the Frame against Cold, Damp, and changeable Weather, and restrains ex- cessive Perspirations. Sea Water, for stimulating, cleansing, and bracing the Nerves, is far pret'ejabje to River Water for any Debility. To prevent any ill Sensation after Bathing, such as Trembling, Pain in the Stomach, Cramp, Giddiness, or, Head- Ache, lake a Table- spoonful of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phcenix of Life, Half au Hou'r before Bathing* which will comfort the Intestines, throw a warm Glow over the whole Frame, and create an excellent Appetite with a good Digestion.

THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA; OR, PIKENIX OF LIFE, And Grand Reanimator of Nature: Prepared and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, at Dr. LAMERT's London Medical EstablishjncntjQucen- square, Bristol, INTRODUCTION. DR. LAMERT, ill recommending the celebrated Cordial Balm of Zura; or, Pho> nix of Life, to a discriminating Public, disdains the Idea of following the Steps of those Precursors, who, by a vain Display of a little Learning, and a great deal of Ingenuity, mislead the Public; a Truth too frequently exemplified by Pretender* to Science in the present Day. Actuated by a spirit of genuine Philanthropy, lie feels it. his highest Gratification to announce, that in tiie Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, he possesses the means of alleviating, arid by due Perseverance, of completely annihilating those insidious Disorders, which not only deprive Life of its every Enjoyment but sap tbe very Foundation of our Existence, anc involve the Patient in a Vortex of preujature, but unavoidable Destruction. Governed solely by such Motives, so humane, genuine, and disinterested , Dr. L. cannot but ensure the Gratitude of the afflicted, the Approbation of the good, and the sincere Benediction of Mankind. On that Assurance lie takes his stand, and invites the Suffering to come and be healed. 1 itjs ESTABLISHLMENT was formed in Aprils ] 8! 8, in con- sequence of the discovery of the baneful traffic in poiso* 00s Ferdigreasc Tea. fT has just been prove4 in the Public Courts of Justice, that this infamous traffic is Si III carriifiti Of*' it i every corner oltlje K' » M#-< J From the" CONVICTIONS that have lately taMn place at GLASGOW, it appears that the Hedges do not afford a sufficient supply for the demand of this, nefarious system, and that Moss is now used in vast quantities, Jn other parts of the country. CONVICTIONS have just taken place, where it was PROVED, that POTATO^ LEAVES have heen made into " Imitation Tea" in most enormous quantities. When it is considered tjiat Verdigrease ( rank poison) is the essence of this manufacture, the Public should he cautious to ayoiu becoming the victims of this dreadful system. The unexampled sale Of the " Canister Teas" the last Jive years in every part of the kingdom has g'iven j'i^ e to a host of'" Imitators1' of ihjs Establish- ment, One out of the hundreds who style themselves London Companiesand who began exactly SEVEN MONTHS AFTEIT THIS EST ABLJSH- M ENT, now make a most pitiable complaint against • the ." Canister Teas," and tell the public ( what is not true), that they are charged for the Canisters: the fact is, that every pound of Tea packed in quarter- pound Lead Packages (( lie Lead being use- less after it is used'f, costs 3d. for Lead and Package ; thus a Tax of threepence is at once fixed on evert/ pound of Tea : the Public will judge who pays fur it.— The " CANISTER TEAS" ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THIS TAX ; the Canisters arp taken back al the price charged, and there is not a Lady in ihe Kingdom who is not perfectly convinced, that a " Canister'''' is the only way possible to PRESERVE the STRENGTH and FLAVOUU of the Tea : thus it is, that the sale of the " Carlisle)' Teas'''' are fully established, and rapidly increasing in every part of ihe Kingdom, whilst the hundreds of jhnitators" have ceased to exist. Upwards of one thousand Agents are now ap- pointed for the sale of these Teas, and it is now more thiiii ever decessary that every Town and Village in IliC Kingdom should be supplied. Only one Agent in each town is appointed, which renders it a good living for any respectable person.— There is no mi, wo expense, and profit certain, nor ANY CAPITAL REQUIRED; it is necessary to be thus explicit, in consequence of the strong prejudice ex- cited by the numerous petty dealers. Where an Agent is not yet appointed, it will be done on application of any respectable Person, Post- Public Notice\ T| J| O D E RT W A R R E N, Blacking- JUL Manufacturer, 30, STRAND, begs to Caution the Public against a spu- rious Composition being sold under his Name, by Means of Imitation Labels. These may easily be detected by observing that the genuine has Extract of a Letter, dated June 23, IS23. SIR,— Having sold all tbe Medicines you left me, I will thank you for an immediate Supply, Had you left me ten Times as much, I could have sold it all, the Demand is so great in our Neighbourhood, I have had an excellent Account of it from many very respectable Persons of the good it has done. A Woman came, the Day before yesterday, to purchase another Bottle of it; and stated that her Husband bad been confined to his Bed for six Months, and was given over by the Faculty; but, by taking a large Bottle, he is so recovered an to have been down Staiis three Times, and l^ s no doubt but he will be a living Testimony to the Efficacy of the BALM OF ZURA.

" Lijice one condemnM to leap a precipice, " And sees before his eyes the depths below, " Stops short, and looks about for one kind shrub " To break his dreadful fall ; so I look here " For friendly aid against the fears, of death." The CORDIAL BALM OF'ZURA, or Phcenix of Life, forms Ihe most powerful, stimulating, and highly flavoured Medicine in the. whole Mateiia Medica. U is prepared from an Asiatic Berry, strongly resemb- ling that of the English Whitethorn ; and was the Result, of the Labours of tlie renowned Rernbert Dodoeiis, Physician to the Turkish Emperor and his Harem. In 1578, a most splendid Case, of this in- valuable Cordial was sent by the Sultan to Queen Elizabeth, and was taken by her M. ajes; y as a noble Renovator of the whole System. It has been found bv a most extensive and respectable private Practice, to be the most, efficacious Medicine extant, for strengthening the Nerves, removing all Obstructions iu the Stomach and Lungs, cherishing the Heart, reviving the Spirits, strengthening ihe Memory, promoting Digestion, dispelling Flatulencies, dis- persing the Heartburn and Choleric Affections, pre- vents Apoplexy, purifies the Blood, removes Scorbutic Eruptions as well as Scrofula, and is of the highest. Distinction in Gouty and Rheumatic Disorders. It vivifies the Spinal Marrow, and restores the Frame to Health and pristine Vigour. 1/ f ' Mi^ y^&' H signed on each Label,— nil others are Counterfeit; many of which are interlined, in very; s? j) aH Characters with a different Address between the " No.. 30," and the Word " Strand."

It is strongly recommended to Shop- keepers and others who are deceived hi/ such vile impostors to return the Trash to the Parties from whom it came, as being a Punishment suitable to base Fabricators of an Article so essentially necessary to the fashionable World.

TURN OF LIFE. SmWCs Plaughrnarts Drops. TO DR. SMITH. DEAR SKJ,— For the Benefit of those of my own Se*, who are so unfortunate as to be iu the unhappy State I was in before I look your Ploughman's Drops, I think it my Duty to inform you, that in February, 1798, I was taken so very ill that I was confined io my lied upwards of six Weeks ; growing still weaker, my Father applied to a Professional Gentleman, who used the utmost Skill for two Years, when I was nearly worn out, and expected daily the Hand of Death would relieve me, when I was advised to try the Infirmary; and I used the Medicines of that benevolent Institution for 12 Months, bul without the b ast Benefit. My Father was then recommended to take me to the Salt Water, which he complied with ; bul this Experiment only added to my Sorrow for 1 grew weaker and weaker. In this lingering State, Application was made to an eminent P. bysi- - ciaii, under whose . Prescriptions I reulained two Years more, nearly at Death's Door; when most providentially hearing of a Person in my unfortunate Situation having been cured hy Dr. SMITH, I applied to you, worthy Sir, and after taking one large Bottle of your inestimable Ploughman's Drops, f found ( blessed be God!)' an Increase of Strength, could eat my Victuals with a good Appetite, and slept . soundlv: 1 may truly say I had not experienced a g- ood Night's Sleep for five Years; but I now became quite cheerful, a Comfort to myself and Friends, and after taking only three Bottles 1 was restored to my former Health, and continue so at this present Moment. Out of Gratitude, dear Sir, you are at Liberty to publish this iu whatever Manner you please. I am, your's, ELIZABETH GRIFFITHS. April 3, 1807.

NERVOUS DISORDERS. In the tremendous catalogue of Diseases incidental to Mankind, those of the Nervous Description are tbe most complicate and difficult to cure. They resemble almost every Disease, and scarcely two Persons are affected in a similar Manner ; they are continually changing their Action, Shape, and Con- dition, w hile, under every fresh Attack, the Patient feels some Symptoms he never before experienced. Thus the Mind often becomes a Prey to the most fatal Apprehensions, while the diseased Imagination forges those vyild Chimeras, which perpetually haunt and distress the Brain. " The Sun as ir were. goes down on the Heart, and { he Shadows of the Evening close in on the Soul!" Such are the sad Thoughts and distressing Feelings which agitate that real Object of Commiseration, a Nervous Patient. To such, what a Treasure will be found in the Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phoenix of Life ! The vital Prin- ciple, under its divine Operation, like the fabled Phoenix, springs from the Embers of a decayed Con- stitution, and rises to Happiness and Life, Reani- mated, Renovated, and titherealised. GENERAL SYMPTOMS. The Symptoms which precede, accompany, and follow this distressing Complaint are very numerous. The following are the most prominent:— Great De- pression of Spirits, Timidity, Starlings, Melancholy, Fickleness of Temper, Restlessness, Anxiety, and a painful Presentiment of Death. With its Increase, frequent Attacks of the Cramp, Head Ache, settled Pains in different Parts of the Body, the Eyes are clouded, a continual Ringing in the Ears, Dullness of Hearing, alternate Chills and Flushes of Heat, Weariness, Nausea, Loss of the Appetite, Decay of Strength, Burning Heat in the Palms of the Hand » and Soles of the Feet, a Sensation like that of cold Water running down the Back, the Pulse quick, weak, and irregular, parched Tongue, violent Pal- pitations of the Heart, Difficulty of Breathing, and Convulsions. It is not difficult to point out the Means of relieving the Patient, but none have ever proved so powerful, LONG, NICHOLSON & COMPANY BMJIJ- STJBPST, LONDON. THE ITCH.

WEARE.— Sunday last being ine, a great number of persons, in vehicles of every lescriptiou, as also equestrians aud pedestrians' 3aid a visit lo Probart's late, residenceaf Gill's- hill' iear Elstree ; the various places iu the vicinity' near or at which tlje murdered man or his murderers ; iad been, the pond where the body was deposited [ he grave of Mr. Weaie, & c. were sources of pari ticular attraction. Probart is the son of a farmer who lived near Koss iu Herefordshire, in 1782, at which period Prohart was born, his mother still resides at Lydbrook Herefordshire ; and he has a brother a farmer iu Gloucestershire. His wife's f. tber, Mr. W. <• Nqyes, now deceased, was formerly a very respect" able brewer at Fox field, near Huugert'ord, subsel i] lieiitiy tanned his own estate at Taugley, near Andover, and thenpe retired to IlaiupsteiuL where he died. John Tlmrtell was one of the eleven who escaped from the shipwreck of the Defence mail of war sOuie years ago. The Masyisfrates of Hertfordshire, & e. who have taken upon them the investigation of tins horrid business, are stated to have received information which places it beyond a doubt that several murders ha ve been committed bv the gang with which Weare and his murderers iu.- u ,.- >. Au air- gun has heen discovered in Jolm Thurteilts lodgings, and evidence has been given to shew thijt with this' instrument Thurtell intended to have assassinated Mr. Barber Beaumont, the manager of tiie County S'ire- Offiee, who was actively exertion- himself to bring the Thiirtells to justice for eoif- spin. ng aud setting fire to premises in order to defraud that establishment. - • THE LATE MURDER,— Every succeeding day brings with it the disclosure of some additional honor, coupled wiili this fiend- like act — But iu llie appalling consternation with which the deed is viewed, there have been circumstances brought lo light which appear lo os swallowed up in the vnili x of dismay; but which should be held up, in all their frightful barbarity, lo the gaze, and lh-> execration of every human being— Premeditated, prerioonied, and cold blooded as llie murder was, we are yet a loss Ii! aecniint fur the brutal manner in which ihe corpse was dragged about after i( hail been bulcheied. Was security the object cf the sanguinary ruffians' Why, if so, did ihey not bury t heir wretched victim near the spot chosen for his death!— The verv idea of the LIVING FIENDS having been instigated by REVENGE alone is here dispelled.— He was dead — nothing could hurt him briber! No passion could more afflict— no horrid triumph over hi, deuth- struggle could more affeel him. Plunder was their main object— Revenge was a < ccondary, but powerful, consideration.—- During, willi a precision which would almost betray a practical experience io as. sassination, COF THE THROAT of the betrayed victim ( whom despair and the love of life clinging to everv heart, had inspired with superior force), and allho' John Thitrtell was NEARLY SUFFOCATED hv the GUSHING of Wear's LIFE'S BLOOD into the murderer's own throat, the slayer pursued his diabolical work • deliberately as the bodi, cooleit into the last dullness above him, cast it off; rose from the earth after struggling wiili Weare; mid -' to make assurance doubly sure" inflicted a second death- wound bu dashing the pistol up to the vera lock into the dead man's temple, passing completely through both hemispheres of the brain .'.'— Is I here in the history of mankind a parallel tn ibis hellish act! — But there is something scarcely less horrible, in the subsequent conduct of the barbarians.— The reckless iiml re- morselesss hardihood of the villains is, thank God almost beyond human conception— Tbe alarm oc- casioned by firing n pistol at that hour in tlie evening, in a place which, though secluded, was not Hltogeiher destitute of human habitations, uiusi have rendered them anxious for the temporary conceal- ment of the lifeless form on lyliieh they had wreaked their brutal wrath — They, therefoi'f, waited till tliev supposed the neighbourhood was trawiuillized and then taking the horse, unharnessed, from the stable, they flung the remains of their murdered associate, as they would a dead dog, across the numml's hack, and conveyed it to tjie cottnge - for kllnwing, as they must have known, Wear's practice uf carrying' money coueeil), fd close lo his person, il is obvious that ihey could not, with any degree of safety lo themselves, cut . iff' the clothes, to come af tho hoard, in any exposed situation. — It is, consequently more than likely lhal in Piobart's cottage, anil on the rery Couch subsequently used by his Murderers as a RESTING PLACE— a PLACE FOR SLEEP— for QUI ET a nd RFFOSEI! the clothes were cut off' the mangled car. case, tbe spoil taken from ihe pockels and divided and then as much of Ilie clolhes as the saturated' blood would allow to burn, was burnt; and the rest hidden in the stable.— Can sueli men sleep?— may well indeed he asked, but on that very Coach was J.

The Gazette contains an official notification of the appointment of the Eight Hon, Viscount Granville to he his Majesty's Ambassador Ex- traordinary and Plenipotentiary to Ihe King of the Netherlands. VVe have received this morning authentic advices from Paris, which fully confirm what we mentioned last week respecting the health of ihe King. His Majesty, we are assured, is in a state of gradual decay, with greai loss of slrength.'— His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme is expected in Paris about the end of Ibis month, when splendid feles will be given, and public rejoicings take place, in' honour of his return. Advices, by Express from Paris, stale positively that ihe new Royal Spanish Loan had been con- tracted for. The amount of the Loan is variously given ; according lo some accounls, it is for £ 2,500,000, and according to others, £ 3,000,000. The contracting price was 58 ; aud it is even said the Scrip had reached a premium of one aud a half per cent. A trial for poisoning commenced at Paris on Ihe 10th instant, and excites as much interest there, as the murder of Mr. Wear? does iu England. The person accused is a physician of considerable talent, of the name of Caslaign, 29 years of age. He is charged with poisoning Hippolytc aud Au- guste Ballet, brothers, young advocates of some fortune, which they had recently inherited from their father, a notary of Paris. Such was the anxiety to witness the trial, lhat tickets of ad- mission were applied for by all the Foreign Am- bassadors and persons of the first distinction. The doors of the Court weie also beset by a numerous multitude. The result of the trial had not trans pired when tbe last account left Paris.— Auguste was very intimate- with Castaign, and formerly engaged with him in an attempt to deprive the elder brother Hippolyte, of liis fortune, by de- stroying a will. Tbe plan succeeded. SPANISH COLONIES.— Il may, perhaps, he worthy of observation, lhat though Spain has lost her Colonics, it is not probable that the loss will be any disadvantage to her; she was utterly in. capablc of availing herself < ,'" the commercial advantages lo be derived from her connection with them. A trade between even a Mother Country and her Colonies, must be an exchange of equi- valents, and she possessed no manufactures of any imparlance with which lo purchase their produce. She might prevent them from trading with other countries, but had not the power of inducing tlieni to trade with her. She might annihilate their commerce, but could not enjoy it.— They yielded her, no doubt, a considerable revenue, which was principally remitted in ihe precious metals. But was this a souice of wealth to her ? Her retrograde motion in commerce and prosperity ever since she possessed her Colonies proves the contrary. It was, in fact, Ihe very opposite : it was a principal cause of her poveiiy. The money being put into circulation, continually kepi up the price of her labour and produce above their value in her trans- actions with other countries, by which the demand for them was destroyed, every tiling like manu- facturing industry nipped in tbe bud, and the gold and silver of course remitted io purchase of those articles which she must otherwise have paid for with her own productions. Thus she has been a mill stone about their neck, and they about her's; and the result is, that she is one of Ihe poorest nations of Europe, and they, considering their natural advantages, which are quite unparalleled the poorest countries in the world. England and France will, no doubt, derive great benefit from their trade, and so will, indirectly, the other nations • if Europe, though, peihaps, France and England ure the only nations which possess manufactures — » ..,. » ... ll. V L.... It. A mc- i'irn. t ..!•• I.. .. TW ritlri demand, however, which Great Britain will ex perieuce for Ihe produce of her labour, will increase her demand for Ihe Corn and raw materials of Ihe Norlh of Europe, which she will pay for with Ihe Cotton, Coffee, and such other produce of South America as these nations require. We shall thus be the connecting link by which the fertility of South America will administer to their luxury and comfort, or in other words, by which their Wealth will be increased. The independence of the Spauish Colonies is, therefore, the interest, more or less, of every nation of Europe, and Spain herself, what ever she may think to the contrary, will probably not gain the least by the change. Nothing, how ever, can be conceived more short- sighted, than the policy which would seek to restore her dominion over liieni; and, thus, commercially speaking, blot them out of the map of the world. The true in- terest of France is as much opposed to such project as thai of England. Extraordinary pains have been taken this year by the Officers of ihe Crown, lo whose soper intendeuce the due selection of proper persons to fill the high situation of Sheriffs of Counties is entrusted, that lists of Gentlemen proper for the office shall be returned, out of wliich the Crown makes the selection.— Hilheito it has been the practice, in too many counties, to leave the forming of these very important lists to most unfit and improper haiuV;; in some instances, even to Attorneys, wbo looked, in the result, for employ- ment as Under- Sheriffs, We understand, however, that Government lias, at length, determined to take the whole of this great Constitutional question into grave consideration, and means have been adopted lo ensure tbe lists for present and future years being prepared and transmitted only by those on whom, by law, tlie task devolves, and consequently free from the influence of Ihe class of persons lo whom we have alluded. This will prove a great practical good, and be the means of ensuring the due administration of public justice — Courier.

GOLD MINES IN RUSSIA.—( From the Con- serv. ateur Impartial, of October 12.)— The Senator , Mr. Soiinonoff, aud Dr. Fuclis, Professor of Medi- cine at the University of Cassan, ha » e just made a journey to MountOural, which will promote thein- terests of science as well as those ofthe Government. These two Gentlemen visited the gold mines, which have been discovered within these three years. They'have discovered that the mines which are situated to tbe east of Mount Oural, are much richer than those of the opposite side. The former extend from Verkhoturie as far as the source of tbe River Oural. But the places where the gold is found most, abundantly is between Nijne Tajilskoi and Koiisehtoumkoi, iu a space of about 300 versts, or 200 English miles. These mines are near the surface, and the golden earth is several archines, each archiue is 28 inches in depth. The gold is obtained by washing the earth, and this labour is so easy, that it is performed solely by boys. The metal is formed in separate grains, sometimes in large pieces, ol' masses, weighing six marcs. But in general five zolotnics, or about 15 pennyweights, are obtained from a hundred pouds of earth, or 5200lbs. troy. The proportion being 1 in 83,200. A single proprietor, Mr. de Jakowleft", on whose estates tbe richest mines have been discovered, will send this year about 30 pouds ( 1560lbs. troy) of gold to the mint at Petersburgh. The other mines of Oural will furnish altogether about 130pouds ( 67601 bs. troy). This is, however, only the com- mencement of working the mines. Doctor Fuchs writes, that the gold appears to have been originally combined with the greenstone of Werner, with schistous talc, serpentine, and grey iron ; and that these substances having been decomposed, have left the gold by itself, lie adds, in his letter addressed to Mr. Magnitzky, Curator of the Uni- versity of Cassan, that the mineral riches of the mountains which he has visited are both rich and immense. Platina, adamantine spar, and other metals aud valuable gems, both of India and America, are found there. Mr. Fuclis has made a discovery amongst the latter, viz. of a stone of the nature of the sapphire, to which he has given the name of soimnnite, in honour of the learned miner- alogist, Mr. Soimonotf. There is no doubt but the University of Cassan will have specimens of all these objects which are as precious as they are novel to its collection.— But trie advantages of the examinations and discoveries of Mr. Fuchs will not be confined to the University. This learned Pro. fessor means very soon to publish his journey to Mount Oural, which will contain not only his observation* on the natural history of the country in general, but also the statistics of all that part which he has traversed and explored.

SIR, Having accidentally seen a statement in tlife last Shrewsbury Chronicle, respecting the late Appeal Cases between the Holvhead Road Commissioners and Messrs. Gooltlen anil others, in which assertions lire made that are utterly false, and as they are calculated to prejudice the Commissioners, I should be obliged to you to insert the following observa- tions in reply to them. It is not true that the Act requires the annual payment of £ 50, to be made to " ihe ' Trustees of the " Knockin Road, a Trust not in existence, and thai " it may therefore legally be presumed that the " provision of the Act was void rchich conveys those Tolls upon condition of paying a certain Sum to a Nullity."— The Act says that the payment shall be made to the Trustees acting under certain Acts of Parliament therein referred to ( and which are the Trustees of the Oswestry Branch Districts of Road), and that the payment shall be made in lieu ofthe Tolls to be taken by the Commissioners ou the Knockin Rood. This allowance is regularly paid to the above Trustees every half- vear; and it is for them to account for the disposal of it. It is not true that the above sum of £ 50 is " only about, one- third of the Tolls taken at this Knockin " Gate, and that the Commissioners expend trie " remaining tun thirds on the Holyhead Road;" for the whole amount of Toll taken at the two Gates at Gallows Tree Bonk, namely, the one across the Holyhead Road and the other across the Knockin Road, for Cart aud Saddle Horses, Sheep and Pigs ( there being very few Gigs which travel the latter Road), does not average more than about £ 80 or £ 90 a year ; and as it is fair to presume that the greater part travel on the Holyhead Road, it. would appear the Commissioners are losers hy the arrangement. It is not true " that Mr. Goolden was ignorant, * c at the time of his appealing, of the clause in the " late General Turnpike Act exempting the Holy- " head Road from the operation of any General "' Turnpike Act," whether his legal advisers were or not, as the clause was particularly pointed out to him at the time of his Conviction ; and even if the Holyhead Road had been subject to the General Turnpike Act, Mr. Goolden was not entitled to the exemption, of not having passed above 100 yards on the Road, as he never claimed it. Ill answer to the insinuation that " it appears the " provision alluded to in the last General Turnpike " Act iras expressly intended for this particular " Case," I can only pledge myself in saying, that such an object was never in contemplation ; besides, that Act was passed on the 19th of July, and Mr. Goolden's offence was committed on the 20th of August.

LLANGOLLEN EISTEDDFOD was recently held at the Oak Inn, in that town ; Godfrey Lloyd, Esq. in the chair. A very respectable body of the neigh bou ring Gentry attended, aud the following Prizes were awarded :•— The Premium for the best poetical composition, in Welsh, on the " Gunpowder Plot," to Mr. William Edwards, of Ysgeifiog: there were 16 candidates.-— Mr. Thomas Edwards, of Corwen, the best Singer with tbe Harp, received a Premium ) f TOs.; and Mr. David Jones, of Llangollen, received a similar Premium for the best extem- poraneous . Englynion. There being only two Harpers present, they were handsomely remuner- ated, but there was no competition.— At nine o'clock, the Gentlemen assembled sat down to a handsome supper ; after which the cbcerful toast, with harp and song, beguiled the remaining hours. On Friday evening, the 23d ult. as Owen Owens, of Brynlawr Fownog, in the parish of Llanr& g, a poor industrious labouring man, was returning home from his work about seven o'clock, when be came in sight of his cottage, he had the misfortune to perceive lhat it was in flames— and on approach- ing, he found several of his neighbours collected together, and endeavouring to extinguish the fire, but owing to the distance of the water, this was found impossible, and it was with difficulty that another dwelling under the, same roof was pre- vented from sharing a similar fate. The poor man lost all his furniture, beds, bedding, wearing- ap pare!, provisions, several Welsh books, and, in short, all his property, as nothing was saved from the devouring element. It seems the mother went out to a neighbour's house, and one of the children, ( a little boy about four years of age) took a candle to look for a hammer to put a nail ia his shoe, ( as he afterwards informed his father) and goin^ under the bed, which contained fresh straw,' it suddeuly took fire and spread rapidly, and soon communi- cated with the roof. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 13. THE KING V. WHITCOMBE. It will be remembered that the defendant, one of the Coroners for the County of Salop, was found guilty, at the last Shrewsbury Assizes, on a criminal information granted hy the'Court, which charged him with corrupt conduct on an inquest held before him on the body of Sarah Newton, who was mur. dered by her husband. Mr. JERVIS, for the defendant, stated that he was now awaiting the judgment of the Court; but that he did not understand that any was to be prayed against him. Mr. PEARSON, for tbe prosecution, said, that the gentlemen by whom this proceeding had been in- stituted, would have been wanting in regard to the interests of public justice, and in respect to the Court, if they had taken no steps on the verdict which the jury bad given. They had, however, felt that the purposes of justice would be sufficiently answered by the resignation of the office of Coroner by the defendant; and, after an inquiry into the circumstances at the Quarter Sessions, they had come to a resolution to instruct their Counsel to press for no further punishment, in case this step should be taken. The Coroner had offered to retire, but had not actually retired, and the Magis trates ouo- lit to be assured that he was divested of his office before they abandoned their right to call for judgment. Mr. JERVIS said, that Mr. Whitcombe had already resigned his offi'ce. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE suggested, that i Coroner could not, by mere resignation, divest himself jjf his powers. A writ de coronatore amo- vendo must issue, and then a writ for the election of a successor. Mr. JERVIS said that these steps should be taken. Mr. PEARSON then proposed that Mr. Whitcombe should enter into his own recognizances to appear and receive judgment when called on, with an understanding, that if the proposed retirement from office was effected, no motion should be made for judgment'. Mr. JERVIS said, this was all he could desire. Mr. WHITCOMBE then entered into the proposed recognizances, and left the Court. R. T. B EN N ION .

NOVEL ROBBERY On the 5th instant, gentleman who was going from Gloucester to Moil, mouth by Mail, at the request of a friend took charge of a small packet, containing forty guinea- notes of the Bank of Messrs. Bromedge and Co. Monmouth, for Ihe purpose of getting thein ex- changed. He was the only inside- passenger, until a man and boy were taken up at Huntley Com- mon; all the outside- places being occupied, they entered the Mail, leaving a bull dog they had wilii them to follow the Coach. On the road, the man frequently pressed against the gentleman, apparently by accident; and, a short distance from Ross, the man and boy left Ihe Mail, under pretence of look ing after the dog, which they seemed apprehensive of losing. No suspicion was excited by the cir- cumstance; hut when near Monmouth, the gentle- man discovered his small clothes had been cut, near the bottom of the pocket in which the notes were deposited, and the packet containing them ex- tracted ! Immediate information of the robbery was sent express to Hereford, for which place, it was learnt at Ross, the offenders had set off Iu a post- chaise; and in consequence, being well known to the police- office as dangerous characters, • they were both taken into custody next day. One of the notes stolen, ( which has been sworn to) was found in possession of the mail, besides other money to Ihejauiount of £ 9. His name is William Rush ton, anil both have heen fully committed for trial.

WE ARE. The following brief recapitulation of thecircum- stanccs connected with this dreadful transaction may prove interesting to oitr readers, and may j enable them more clearly to call to their rec « fllec- ) tion the character of ( he testimony on which the ! charges against John Thurtell, Hunt, aftd Probert j are founded ;— On Friday, October 24, towards eigrht o'clock in the evening, as a Mr. P. Smith was proceeding, walking behind a donkey chaise, in which his. wife Was riding, from the house of a Mr. Nicholis, at Batler's- green, to his own residence ih Kemp's-, row, Aldenham, county of Hertford, he beard, when near a lane called fill's Hill- lane, the report of a gUn or a pistol, and shortly afterwards several- groans, coming apparently from the same spot where the pistol vvas fired. Mrs. Smith being terrified at this, be was apprehensive of leaving her, and they made the best of their way home. The same evening, about eight o'clock, a man of the name of Freeman saw a g- ig with two persons in it, the horse haviug apparently been driven very hard, in Gill's Hill- lane, and remarked to themv " that they had driven fast;" but no answer was returned. On the following morning, two labourers, named Hetherington and William Hunt, who were sent to work in Gill's Hill- lane, saw two men sauntering* along the lane, and observed them stoop down, as if searching for something in the hedge. On being greeted by Wm. Hunt, one of the men said he had been capsized out of his gig there the evening" before. After one of them had taken up something from the hedge, they both went towards Gill's- hill, where there is a cottage, at that time inhabited by Prohert, the lane being unfrequented, except by persons going to, or coming from, the cottage. On the same morning one of the labourers found a pistol and a penknife by the road- side, the former of which was covered with blood and bits of hair, and. the inside contained some portions of what a surgeon declared to be human brains. Some of these mysterious circumstances bavin^ been communicated on the following day to Messrs. Clutterbuck and Mason, Magistrates at Watford, Hertfordshire, a diligent inquiry was immediately set on foot, and some suspicions falling on the occupant of Gill's Hill- cottage, and on his asso- ciates, on Tuesday, late at. night, Probert and a man named Thos. Thurtell were taken into custody and lodged in St. Alban's Castle for further exa- mination. On Wednesday morning early, John Thurtell, the brother of Thomas, and a Joseph Hunt were taken up, the former at the Coach and Hordes, Conduit- street, Bond- street, and the latter at his own lodgings, No. 19? King's- street, Golden- square, under a warrant from the magistrates at Watford. In the room occupied hy J. Thurtell, a large and a small pistol were found, and some clothes which were much marked, and in some places almost soaked in blood. After a short exa- mination at Bow- street, they were conveyed to Watford, and there examined. The examination of the persons apprehended, of the witnesses above mentioned, and of Probert's servants, was conti nued through the night, and did not terminate until nine o'clock on Thursday morning. Before that time Joseph Hunt, one of the persons who had been apprehended, had been induced to disclose the particulars of the suspected transaction, when it turned out, according to his confession, that John Thurtell, one of the prisoners, had, . on the Friday- evening in question, murdered a person of the name of Weare at the spot in Gill's Hill- lane where the two men had been seeking in the hedg< — that the body of the murdered m^ n was, first of all„ on Friday evening, disposed of in a pond in the grounds belonging to the house occupied by Probert, and lay there till Monday, when it was. amoved to ADBASTON HALL.

Hunt concluded his examination by offering to conduct the Magistrates to the spot where the body was deposited. In consequence of this offer, Hunt, accompanied by Noel, the Solicitor for- the prosecution, and a sufficient number of officers, proceeded in post- chaises to the spot pointed out by Hunt; and on arriving- uecir a pond which is on the side of a lane leading from Battledore Green to Radlet, in the parish of Aldenham, about two miles from the place where the murder was committed, Hunt said the body would be found in that pond. A{ tcr two attempts with a drag, the body of a man, tbe upper jjart of which was enveloped iu a new sack, the feet crossed and tied with a cord, having a red shawl- handkerchief round the neck, which is sup- posed to have belonged to John Thurtell ( as Hunt said it did), was brought forth ; ai'id though it was in such a state that no one could be certain at the time, from inspecting it, whether it was the body of Mr. Weare, still it was not possible to doubt it, after the circumstances which have just been stated. On the body being discovered, a Coroner's Inquest was immediately summoned, which was accordingly held on Friday* Oct. 31, at the Artichoke, in the to the deceased was also stfewii him, and he stated that he bad seen a similar one at his master's on Saturday morning. There is no further evidence of what Hunt, Thurtell, and Probert did while at Probert's cottage, or of who. actually killed Mr. Weare, except the confessions of the different parties. It appears, however, that Hunt and "" bur- tell left- the cottage on Saturday and caine to town ; and that tliey returned to the cottage on- uuday, accompanied by Thomas Thurtell and Mr. No, yes, a brother- in- law of Probert's. On Monday, Hunt $ ud Thomas Thurtell returned to town in Probert's gig, bringing with them Probert's hoy,, who was left at the Coach and Horses till he was removed by a police- officer on Wednesday. On that day, to. o, as already stated/ Hunt and John Thurtell were apprehended, aud on the- per- son- of the latter was found a pistol, the fellow of the picked up. in the lafle. In his waistcoat * were ten swan- shot, a penknife,, and a pistol key. The penknife was identified by Mr! Rexwortby, as the property of the deceased, and he saw it in his imssCssion on the Friday when Mr. Weare left iondon. Mr. Rutliven, the officer, also produced, on the Coroner's Inquest, a muslin- hanokerchief,. nm. rked with blood, a black waistcoat marked with blood, as if a bloody hand had* been thrust into one of the pockets, and a coat which was marked with blood in several places, all of which were found on John Ttiurtell, or in his possession. Several other portions of property, which were identified by Mr.- Rexworthy, as having belonged to the deceased, were found at Hunt's lodgings, and produced on the Coroner's Inquest, as vvdll as a piece of cord which corresponded with. the piece of cord with which the deceased's legs were tied, In Probert's stable, a sack, and a torn and bloody shjrt were found on Thursday, with the initials of the de- ceased, and it w^ ts of the same make as a shift- found at John Thurtell's lodgings, The girg whicli; was hired for John Thurtell and himael- f, by Hunt, on Moiiday, and which was used to convey the lead body, was. observed, when taken home, to; be stained with blood.. The squab " in. Probert's room vvas also marked with blood. Mrs. Prohert is understood to have deposed, that she saw, from the window of her room, Hunt holding a candle,, and John Thurtell drawing a corpse along- the? g- round ; that she heard the conversation between her husband, Thurtell, and Hunt, about sharing* the money. The above seem to be all » he facts of the case as they have been stated by the different witnesses, or elicited by an examination of them. They may be connected and elucidated by the fol- lowing brief abstract of Hunt's and Probert's con-, fes& ions, which v have scarcely referred to foe any of the foregoii*^ particulars, because they are neither of them unimpeachable witnesses. Before leaving London on Friday evening, it appears Thurtell and Hunt had agreed the lattejj should he put down by Probert at a certain place called Phiilimore's Lodge, which accordingly took fdace, and that Probert then drove on to his own louse. Here he met John Thurtell, by whose directions he went back for Hunt, and brought him up to the cottage in the gig. The presumption, therefore, is, that the murder, and the whoie scheme for carrying it. into effect, was planned ( and was to be executed) by TburieJl and Hunt conjointly. Owing, however, to Hunt being later than the appointed time, which again was owing to stopping and drinking on the road, Thurtell per- formed the whole deed himself. How it was exe cuted, however, is not exaetlv known. From the state of the body there is reason to helicve that the first- assault was firing a pistol at Mr. Weavers head, and the cheek- bone turned the ball aside; that, afterwards his skull was fractured by re- peated punches with the muzzle of a pistol ; and that, finally, his throat was cut while lying on and grasping his assailant. But whether the fii; st as- sault was made on Mr. Weare when in t!. e gig, or he had been induced first of all to aiig- Ut, U not exactly ascertained. After he WHS murdered Tnurteil dragged the corpse through a hedge, and left it lying there till the arrival of Probert and Hunt, when ali the three went down the lane and removed it, carrying it. and throwing it iqto the pond close to Probert's house. It vvas first of all stripped, but where this Operation was carried into effect, is not ascertained. On Monday night John Thurtell and Hunt went down to Prob. e. rt's again, and with his ( P. sr) assistance the body was taken out of his pond, put into a gig, carried away a distance of nearly two miles, and thrown into the place where it was found—( See \ st page.)

The verdict was— Wilfu! murder against John Thurtell, principal, and Joseph Hunt and William Probert, as accessaries before the fact. From the Coroner's Inquest and other evidence we have compiled the following outline of the whole :— John Thurtell and Mr. Weare had been, for some time, acquainted, and had, on several occasions, been gambling- together. On the Thursday pre- ceding tlie day of the murder, William Rexworthy, proprietor of the Billiard Rooms, No. 4, Sprin Gardens, saw John Thurtell aud Mr. Weare, at his house, together, and understood from the latter that he was to go with the former, on his invitation, into Hertfordshire, for a few days' shooting, On Friday, about three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Weare called on Mr. Rexworthy, and then told him he was on his way to join John Thurtell in Edgware- road. When Mr. Rexworthy heard that John Thurtpll was charged with the murder of some one whose body had not been found, he left town, and being present at the Coroner's Inquest, identified the body to be that of Mr. Weare. From the evidence of Mr. Tetsall, the landlord of the Coach and Horses, Conduit- street, Bond- street, it appeared that John Thurtell, Hunt, Probert, and a Mr. Noyes, brother- in- law to the latter, were all at his house on the day the murder was committed, leaving it between five and six o'clock, having, as he understood, hired one gig at Mr. Probatt's, Charingrcross, and having . also Probert's own gi^ with them. Thomas Thurtell declared, that on the Friday evening his brother John drove away from the Coach and Horses in a gig drawn by a grey horse, which Hunt had brought to the door. He then saw that his brother had two pistols, and inquired what he was going to do with them? Hunt, accompanying his question with a dreadful expression, asked " what was that to him ?" and, turning to Probert, said, " Bill, will you be in it ?" Hunt hi, id previously brought a sack and some cord, which he put into John Thurtell's gig, and said < l it was ail right; drive on." In the evenin.^ while at the Coach and Horses, Hunt had said to John Thurtell, if Jack, our friends had better be civil, or they will get served out;" expressions which at . that time, were not much regarded, because he was constantly in the habit of using- the ujos. t shocking aud brutyl phrases. Here, as far as the evidence is yet gone, we lose sight pf John Thurteil for a tia^ e ; but the journey of Hunt and Probert down to the neighbourhood of QilPs- hill Cottage, is ascertained^ not only by the confession of Hunt, but by the various stoppages tjiey made on ; the road to drink. Freeman saw a. gig with two persons enter the lane, but he did not recognise John Thurtell. Probert's two servants, woman and a boy, however, have sworn that their master returned home on Friday evening, about The recapitulation of them, at this moment, may tend io place the whole } n a clear and connected point of view.

SWINDLING.— One of the " Jeremy Duller" fraternity made, we are sorry to say, a successful debut in this city a few days ago, tothe discomfiture of more than one, two, or three of our respectable tradesmen ; and, considering the adroitness and tact with which this professor of u ibays and means" carried ou his operations, more than one, two, or three more of our respectable tradesmen have to congratulate themselves that they did not contribute in a iarger degree to his budget than they actually did. Geo. Kington, Esq." was bis name— in appearance most respectable— and, in address, most winning. He had recently broken tip a large establishment n^*' Taunton, Devonshire, and wa$ passing- f accidentally, of course) through Worcester 011 his way from Birmingham Musical Festival. Struck with the attractions of the plape, he had determined upon a sojourn of a twelvemonth here, and had taken a house in Foregate- street for that period. This house he wished to furnish com- fortably, but, at the same time, economically, as hi$ stay was for so short a time!— With this plausible story the hero of our tale introduced himself to upholsterer, linen- draper, tailor— in fact, all the several occupations and crafts within whose pro. vihee it pame to fit up his dwelling from garret to cellar, and rig himself out from top to toe. With all it M took" uncommonly well— indeed there was no small rejoicing on the part of some at the luck of such a customer ; every thing was sent in ac- cording to desire, with hopes that it would 4t be found to please, and induce further orders."' Thus matters went on smoothly, and, apparently, satis- factorily to all parties, aiid the mansion was fast receiving its needful " appointments" ( every thing upon a provident and saving . plan), not even ex- cepting the larder and coal- cellar. It happened, however, that one of the tradesmen who had been honoured with Mr. K.' s commands, aud executed them to some extent, thought there would be 110 harm in requesting a reference ; which request to be. forwarded by Post, any Letters or Packets, on Pain of forfeiting £ 5 for every Offence.

" Sir, what you ak is most reasonable- o'clock, bringing- that John Thurtell arrived in a g- ig- a short tinjie before their master and Hunt. They all three went i out with a lanthorn and candle, about ten o'clock, and, as it appears from Mrs. Probert's evidence, took a horse from the stable with them ; Probert said they were going- to a Mr. Nicholas on business, and returned about eleven. Th. ev then supped, and mad, e themselves merry, and Hunt < j. ud Thurtell sat up all night drinking and smoking-. In the ujorii- iug both of them went, out about six o'clock, and were soon after followed by Prohert; they were absent about half an hour, aud returned before him. There can be little doutyt but they were the persons seen by the labourers at work on the road on the morning in question, though these workmen had some difficulty in identifying them, and would not swear to this point. Hunt confesses, however, that they were the two persons. On the Saturday njorn iug the boy Haddis saw the clothes John Thurtell wore under his great coat, and his boots, and they were all covered with dirt, and 011 his great coat were spots of blood. Hunt rubbed ThurteiP- s coat with a wet spoug- e, but had 110 marks of blood on his own clothes. On the same day the boy noticed several lumps of blood op the dirt heaps, and two holes in the hedge of Gill's Hill- lane. He also saw a gun and a mahogany case at Probert's ou Satur- day morning, which were afterwards identified as Mr. Weare's property ; , a travelling bag belong- in there are several other articles which I shall want I will call to- morrow and select them, and then talk with you upon the subject; I suppose you allow a discount for ready money .7" This was enough, the applicant withdrew, and waited the morrow in confidence of these fair promises being- realized.

This was done, and to the surprise and gratification of all, a very considerable portion of the items furuished presented themselves to their view; butjittle time was lost in returning the whole to the respective drawers and shelves from whence they came, and we understand that the linen, wearing apparel, and a few other portable matters, wer. e all that w. ere missing. These articles are calculated to be worth about £ 30, and of these and their conveyance/ nothing has since been heard. The manner in which Mr. K. acquitted himself iu this exploit bespeaks him profoundly skilled in the art of deception,, and deeply read in the knowledge of turning that: art to the l/ est- account. — Worcester " t, ild.

The Meeting was held in i'he Grand Jury Room,- where we observed Viscount Clive, Lord Hill, Sir John Hill, Bart Rowland Hill, Esq. M P. Panfon (' 01 belt, Esq M. P. W: Wobyche Whitmore,. Esq M. P. John Bather, Esq. Thomas got field, Esq. William Charlton, Esq. John Cotes, Esq. Colonel Gat acre, W. Ormsbv G re, Esq. William Lloyd, Esq ( Aston), J. A. LLoyd, Esq. W. M. Moseley, Esq Joseph Sultpn, Esq Messrs. A. D. Jones, Lloyd ( Grove), aud Raveoshawy with one or two other Members of the Society. At three o'clock, PANT ON CORBFTT, Esq ( the President) took the Chair, and opened the business as follows:— 44 Gentlemen, 1 will first call vonr attention to the Resolution passed at the last General Meeting- of ihe Society in July, which ] shall proceed to read : 4 Uesolved{ That a General Special Meeting 1 of the Soeifty he convened, to be held on * Thursday in the Hunt Week, to consider the 4 propriety of entirely dissolving the Society. 4 or of supporting it with greater spirit and 4 e fleet.' 44 Gentlemen, in consequence of this Resolution, the Co 11 > mi11ee, the Vice- Prrsrdentyand jnyself, have thought proper to call the present meeting. It was called with the view of learning the sentiments and opinions of I lie County in generaL The Secretary will read to you an account of the finances; and I beg leave to read a letter from Mr. Child e;" which apologizes for his absence on ' account of indisposi- tion." Having read Mr. Childe's letter, Mr. CORBETT said he should be happy to hear the sentiments of any Gentleman present. The Secretary then produced the list of sub- scribers, and au abstract of the state of the funds of the Society, from which it appeared that after winding up the concerns of the Society as they stood at present, a surplus of about £ I' 24 might be calculated upon after receiving the arrears due. Lord Viscount Ci. IVE then rose, and addressed the Chairman :— 44 Mr. Corbett— I take the liberty, as an anxious \% ell- vvhher and friend to the Agriculture of Shrop. shire, of addressing you for the purpose of suggesting and proposing a mode for the disposal of the balance of the funds 0/ the Society. 1 regret to find that the recent meetings of ihe Society have not, been attended with that spirit which could have been wished, and which in the early stages characterised its assem- blages: they certainly have not been attended with the gaiety and spirit by which they were formerly distin- guished, which may, indeed, lie in some measure attributed to the day of annual meeting being altered from October to July, U hen the necessity of going to Londou prevents the attendance of many Gentlemen who are most anxious to support it by their presence and their purses. However, iu the situation iu which we now stand, and in consequence of the Resolution come 10 at the last meeting, I shall take the liberty of reading and proposing to the Gentlemen present some Resolutions, for the application of the surplus and possible continuation of the Society under such regulations as will enable not only the Landed Pro- prietors but the Practical Farmers to give that support which can alone enable the Society to bene- fit the County, by seconding its efforts with that species of zeal which is the only means of rendering it useful. ! bt lieve there will be between £ 100 and £ 200 in baud when the subscriptions due have been received aud when the debts owing have been paid Under these circumstances, we are called upon to say how this money should be disponed of. There is, I believe, one thing in the plan heretofore adopted bv the Society which has been objected to by the practical farmers; namely the reduction made iu the value of the Cups offered as Prizes by the Society ; they have been reduced to: live guineas, which th farmers are of opinion is not an adequate remunera- tion even for the expense of biingiuy their stock- to the Shew. And one point now to he effected is to • increase the quantity of stock shewn. That this, under the present regulations of the Society, wili not be effected, is evident, from the small quantity exhibited at the last meeting. For that. purpose, therefore, I should propose to extend the privilege of shewing for prizes not only to all subscribers but lo every tenant iu the comity whose landlord is a subscriber. 1 should likewise propose that the tenantry of any other landlords who may oh use to subscribe to a certain amount previous to the 24th Jniie, should he also eligible to shew their stock for prizes at the next meeting." His Lordship then proposed a series of resolu- tions, which were read by Mr. CORBETT, to the following effect: — 4 That, as the Finances appear to warrant * it, another Annual Meeting nnd Shew be 4 held by this Society for 1824. 4 That, instead of July, the next Annual 4 Meeting * be held 011 the first Tuesday 4 October, 1824. 4 That the Secretary do apply immediately 4 for the Subscriptions due, and require payment 4 before the Committee offer the Premiums. That the Committee he instructed to adver- 4 tize ( previous to the 24th of June next) as * many Premiums for Slock, each of not less j 4 value than 10 guineas, as the balance in 4 hand will justify, and to lay the offers open 4 to all the tenantry of tlie county ( not being 4 proprietors of land) whose landlords now 4 subscribe; aud that any other landlord may 4 qualify his tenants, by becoming a Sub- 4 scriber before the 24' h of June, 1824. 4 That seven Practical Fanners he added lo 4 the Committee,, 4 That if in October the extended privilege 1 to the county at large be not approved, or 4 not acted upon with spirit and energy tlie * part of the tenantry, the Society be t- hen 4 dissolved.' W. LLOYI>, Esq. ( of Asjon) SAID— 44 I bej> leave to second the proposition laid before ' the meeting by Lord Clive." Lord CLIVE said— 44 I wish it to be understood that my object is to effect the continuation of the meeting if possible, in that, spirit and in sucn a manner as may , be beneficial tothe practical farmer and do credit to the County If the county should express a difference of opinion with regard to that proposition, it would then be < much better, and more to our credit, to decide at once to give it up. But I wish that it should bf fully and explicitly understood that our main object is by every means iu our power to £' ive it the fullest « nd most efficient support." J. RATHER, Esq. then said— 44 I think upon . the wording of the Resolutions proposed some doubt may arise : in their spirit 1 fuily concur. It appears there is a balance in the hands of the Secretary which w e wish to get rid of ia the most handsome" manner. I hud hoped to have seen not only Itiore Gentlemen, t. iit more practical farmers heie : I much regret that so few practical agriculturists should have attended .- I only see Mr. Ravenshaw and Mr. Jones, hut I hope they will favour! he meeting wiih their judgment and opinions, on the question. Ii is proposed that iu October we should have a supplementary meeting; but how are we then lo decide whether the Society has in the opinion of the County been carried on with spirit? 1 think the plan proposed- a very gbod one for giving up our accounts and winding up the concern ; but I very much doubt whether the practical farmers II like it or not. It may be £ eiy handsome and liberal iu us; but I think ' it 4s doubtful, when the landlord has given his five guineas to enable his tenant* to compete with our farming Subscribers, whether Ihe latter will like it. 1 did hope to see at this meeting what was the geneial feeling of the County, and whether the practical farriit'H had a sufficient heart in the, concern, so that it iiiay he carried on with zeal; and although I am disap- pointed in this, yet I do think we are as competent to determine that question now as we shall be in October. At the last meeting, after dinner, when perhaps one's feelings were a little warmed, 1 did earnestly support the proposition for carrying on the Society, as well as the proposition for calling this meeting to decide the question. I did think that it would not be creditable to the County to draw back; that it would be disgraceful to its agricultural cha- racter. It would be different if, as was lately the case, when Agriculture was depressed and tenants were heart- broken, and when landlords did not know where to look for their rents; but I think we have met now with brighter hopes and prospects, and I trust with a better spirit. I think it remains for the Gentlemen who have had their pleasure in Agri- ilture now to determine whether the Society should be carried 011 or not. If they think they are tired of their hobby- horse, let us, for God's sake, dismount handsomely. But I think it would be as injurious to carry it on in the manner it has hitherto been done, as it would be advantageous to continue it with proper spirit. I have not altered my good- will either to the pleasures or the profits of agriculture; but 1 tliink the Society should be either given up at once or carried 011 in a spirited manner; and I do think that question ought now to be decided. I hope no one present or absent will think 1 mean any thing personal iu the observations I have made. I think the call on the present occasion has been nVore answered by ihe Gentlemen than by the prac tical farmers; but I am of opinion it should be put to the meeting,— whether it would' not be better to give it up now, still adhering to Lord Olive's plan as to disposing of the money in hand ? I think it should be submitted now whether we can go on advan- tageously ; if we can, we may hope to go on as with an infusion of fresh blood into our veins, aud if not, 1 think Lord Clive's plan of disposing of the surplus i good one. In what way, howcyeiv, is it to be hewn next October that the Society has not been i f ied 011 with spirit ? • Whv, by the non- attendanc of the practical farmers. But I do not like the otitis' of getting rid of the Society Jo be thus put on the shoulders of those who stick to it the longest— there ire plenty of Gentlemen now to decide the question." W. WOLRYCHE WHITMORE, Esq. said— 44 I must confess I cannot help participating to a great extent in the sentiments expressed by Mr. Bather. I ' thought it extremely desirable that we should Assemble' to ascertain whether the feeling of the County was st'i'ch as to authorize our going on be- yond next, meeting; for* from what I saw at the last meeting, as well as at tfte meeting before, and from what we may anticipate as fo the next meeting if we act oil Lord Clive's resolutions,- I am of opinion ihat we shall in October be in the same situation as at present. Judging from my own feelings, and from the sentiments of others, I am of opinion that we have b^ eU left in a situation of extreme difficulty, mrd froui which it would he very dWirable that we should be emancipated ; and I think that some defi- nite proposition for the continuance or discontinuance of the S'ociety should be brought forward, and that this question should he decided first. I must confess that, acting upon my own feelings, I should have much wished that five Society should he contiuu'ed, as I Consider if. a Society froUi which, if ptferp'erly supported by the landed proprietors a'nd occupiers, great good might be derived ; and if the feelings of the occupiers had hPen like those of the proprietors, great advantages might fVafve* resulted to agriculture. But it is clear that ' die occupiers keep? aloof— that they look vvith jealousy on its proceedings. It must be equally clear, looking at the numbers who at- tended ifs former meetings, at the number of those who have withdrawn- tberr subscriptions, and at the present want of attendance,- that the Society was dwindling away ; and it would be belter at once to decide not to continue it beyond next Summer,, than to let it die, as it otherwise certainly would, by a lingering . death, 1 must beg to second the proposi- tion of M r. Bather." Lord Cr. ivE said— 44 Perhaps Mr. Bather will put a resolution to the effect of his proposition." J OH BATHB » , Esq.— 441 had rather not: I might vote for such a proposition, but I had rather it pro- ceeded from any one else : I merely wished to have the opinion of Gentlemen on that point. I should be extremely sorry, after what I have said in support of if, to bring forward such a specific proposal. I merely object to carrying it on in a state of languor: I would rather put it out of its misery at once than see it dwindle to nothing; but as I see a brace of active reporters here, and as 1 do not wish it to go forth to the world that I was the executioner of the Society, I hope some Gentleman will take the office off my hands." Lord CLIVB — 44 Taking into consideration the ob- servations of Mr. Bather and Mr. Whitmore, I think the mode I have suggested will be better than that of at once pulling an Aye or a No 011 the question. The great difficulty hitherto has been in getting the attendance of practical farmers ; we have failed in getting a sufficient number by the plan heretofore adopted; aud I propose to effect, this object by extending ils regulations, and by throwing' open to a greater number of persons the power of exhibiting stock. This I think a likely mode of regenerating ( if I may use the expression) the Society, and the best way irj which that regeneration can be brought about. If such an object can be effected, which I think probable, it would be awkward to preface the plan, if proceeded upon, by proposing, as has been intimated, a. resolution that the Society should ter- minate in October. If we should succeed in geltiu together at. another meeting the practical farmers of the Con lily at large, aud the proprietors, in God's name let us continue; if the attempt fail, then th sooner the better we get rid of the business alto- get he r." WII. LUM Lioyn, Esq. ( of Aston).— 44 The great objection to the Society at ifs commencement was, that it was not open to the tenantry of the county, and the opinion then was, that it could Dot be pro ductile of so much good as it otherwise might, by it! being confined wholly to the subscribers. 1 ( hitik the proposal of Lord (/ live, if followed up, might be productive of much benefit." VV. ORMSBY GORK, Esq. said— 44 As one of those who have supported the Suciety because they con- sidered it beneficial lo the county, I wish to gi veiny reason for supporting the proposition for deciding at once whether we are lo go on or to put a final stop to the Society. We have tried several experiments to bring practical farmers to our meetings; Gentlemen have solicited their tenants, but they will not come ; we have opened » t already by reducing the qualifi- cation of a tenant to- shew to the annual subscription of one guinea ; we have given a general invitation to such as are Members to be here to- day, and we see they do not attend ; we have failed hitherto, and I see no prospect of our succeeding. The only sum now required from them is one guinea, and it is proposed to reduce that to nothing ; but will the bonus of giving them one guinea bring them ? I think by suffering the Society thus to linger we are lowering it, we are lowering ourselves, and we are degrading the County at large. I will most decid- edly support the proposition suggested by ^ Mr. Bather." J. A. LLOYD, Esq.— 44 I think the proposition of opening the Society's Prizes to lhe tenantry in ge- neral will he rather ungracious Jo those practical farmers who have supported the Sociefy by their subscriptions: it would, I conceive, be somewhat unfair and ungracious to place the tenantry who are non- subscribers on the same footing of competition with the subscribing tenantry: the principle, I think, is not a good one; and I would, therefore^ rather support Mr. Bathe/ s proposition of putting an Aye or No ou the existerjee of the Sociefy. ] f the Society was established on a new footing, and no tenants were subscribers, proposition I have referred . lo might succeed, but under our present circumstances I think it neither would be fair or gracious to the tenants who are subscribers." J. BATHER, Esq.— 44 1 think his Lordship and Mr. [ J. ArihurJ LLoyd have taken for granted what 1 do not mean. There are two questions. The first is, Whether the practical formeiv like our proceedings? and the second is, Whether the Gentlemen like them? If both parties do, then, and then only, I think the proposal of Lord Clive, which has been seconded fey Mr. Lloyd [ of AstoiiJi for throwing the Society open, will bring plenty of tenantry to our meetings." \ V. OJIMSBY GORE, Esq.— ' 4 I think not. I have offered lo pay the subscription of one guinea to the Society for persons on my side the country, but they will not come— they say they will not bring their stock." ' J. A. LLOYD, Esq.— 1u I merely spoke as to the principle being bad of opening the Society's Prizes to tenantry in general, on tire supposition of the Society's being continued ; but as a mode of getting rid of the surplus of our fund, I think it would be very fair and handsome." Lord CLI'VB.— 44 It ftas merely proposed as a temporary expedient. I certainly would be the last to act unfairly or ungraciously to the tenantry who have subscribed to the Society." Mr. RAVFNSHAW said— 44 Gentlemen, as one of those ivhb supported the observations of Mr. Bather at the last meeting of the Society, I think it neces- sary fo give my reasons now for supporting the proposition either that a final stop should he put to the Society, or that it' should be decided to go on with Spirit. I beg to SUy that one principal reason w hy more practical agriculturists are not preset! t is the day and hour of meeting being fixed for this inconvenient time. Having been in town two fair days, on either of which it might have been held, and many of them having thirty miles to go home, it would have been very inconvenient for them to at- tend. Some of the in also do not think their interest consulted by the Society. I must observe that the proposal of allowing a landlord to subscribe five guineas, in order to Enable him to bring perhaps thirty tenants lo compete with myself or any other practical farmer ho may subscribe his two guineas, does not appear ft) me to be equitable. I beg to speak this without offence. Having taken so many of the Society's Prizes, I should, let Ihe Society be continued on what principle it might, think it my duty to continue my subscription. I hope, there- fore, I shall not be considered selfish in merely speaking the sentiments of my brother farmers." JOHN BATHER, Esq.— 44 I much wish, as we do not seem to be approximating to an end, tha^ some Gentleman present would propose formally the ques- ion of continuing or dissolving the Society/* PANTON CORBETT, Esq.-— 44' The question shall be put as an amendment, if not otherwise brought forward." JOHN BATHER, Esq.— 44 Unless we come to some determination on the question now, in its bearing, we shall, by calling a meetin be holding that meeting for the distribution of Prizes after the Sociefy is dissolved. Some steps should be determined to obviate this. If we should have a meeting in October, there will then be no attendance, for who will come to the funeral of the Shropshire Agricultural Society ? We ( alluding to the Com- mittee) seem to be the Undertakers." ( A laughJ. ' ANT'ON CORBETT, Esq.— 44 I beg to say, that as fo the day and hour of the present meeting^ I must tak the blame : it was, however, certainly fixed without consideration of the circumstances mentioned by Mr Ravenshaw ; but assuredly it was done without any wish or intention to inconvenience the practical '• ricultnrisls." J. A LLOYD, Esq.— 44 I must take a part of the blame which Mr. Corbett has so handsomely taken upon himself. It was fixed to hold the meeting at this time, oil f|> e . consideration jhat ijf wotftd be flie best day and hour for ensuring tlje attendance of the Gentlemen of the County, with others whom we hoped to find assembled." W » , LLOYD, Esq. ( Aston).— 44 The only chance of success is by throwing the Society's Prizes open lo the tenantry of the County." A desultory conversation then took place as- to the form iu which the question should be put to tbe meeting. Sir JOHN HILL then moved that the meeting should be carried on, w ithout dissolving the Society. The Resolutions for dissolving the Society, as advertised in another column, were at length put and carried, there being only six hands held up for the continuance of the Society. eneral ; iu October, Scientific ana i^ taceUancou!** The great work of NATURE DISPLAYED has at length appeared, and it will not disappoint the expectations which its announcement has created. It transcends the old work of La Pluche as much as tire knowledge of the age of George the Fourth excels that of Queen Anne, when La Pluche was published. The Atlas of Nature is the noblest tribute that art has ever paid to nature through the press. The antiquarian researches made on the borders of the Black Sea have been attended with most satisfactory results, and have thrown great light upon the history of the Greek colonies which once existed in those countries. It has been ascertained by accident, lhat the thriving city of Odessa is built upon the site of an old Greek town. In the month of March last, a workman, while digging in the yard of a private house, discovered, about four feet below tfee surface, some human bones, enclosed by stones rudely ranged ; and at their side a vase of terra cotta at the left side of the bones. This vase was found, upon examination, to be of great antiquity, of the sort generally called Etruscan, elegant in its form, and orna- mented with paintings. The paintings have a re- ference to religious ceremonies known to have been held by the Greeks of the Euxioe. This vase together with other antiquities discovered not long since, induce the conjecture that the port ot the Istrians, mentioned in the J* eri[)! its of Ai rian, w as situated where Odessa stands at present. Whilst speaking of Odessa, we may remark, that the science of music has made great progress ther They have not only an Italian Opera, which is well got up and numerously ' attended, but also a great many concerts and musical societies. MORBID AFFECTION.— The possibility of con tracting distemper from a dead subject is amply confirmed by the following melancholy circum. stance. Ahout a fortnight since, Mr. Henry Pe nefather, who had just commenced the practice o surgery, was engaged in dissecting' the body of a subject, whose death was produced by inflammation of the liver, attended with other symptoms that rendered the case worthy of veryvStrict examination Dissection was submitted to by the friends of the deceased : and Mr. Peuefather and another gen tleman operated twice or three times with great professional advantage. The body was inferred and Mr. Penefather thought nothing more of th circumstance until ahout a week after, when 1 perceived that his left hand began to swell, a little above the palm, or near- the articulation of the wrist, attended with a slight twitching pain and numbness of the fingers. Thpi& symptoms he attri buted to various causes, and conceived that the swelling* would abate by washing the part with a suitable lotion. This remedy he accordingly tried when retiring' to bed ; but, to his great surprise and no small consternation, he tbui^ d that the in- flammation had extended itself to the arm, which on the following morning was exceedingly swelled . Under these circumstances he deemed it advisable to state the cage to some of the more experienced of the faculty ; and after mature deliberation by three eminent practioners, with reference to his late ana- tomical researches ( as before stated), th. ey concluded that he must have imbibed, through some medium, whether by a cut or otherwise, a portion of the poisonous matter with which the morbid subject was at the time infected. Mortification being seated in the arm, we regret to learn that he was compelled to submit to amputation, as the only means by which life could possibly be preserved. Mr. Penefather is a native of Ireland, and very respectably connected in that country. Potar Expedition.— It is understood that the Admiralty have it in contemplation to commission the Discovery Ships for another voyage to the- Polar Seas, with this difference, that their route is now to be by Behriilg's Straits; whence they will sail ea « t. ward. To clean the Teeth and Gums, and make this Flesh grow close tot lie Boot of the Enamel.^— Oive ounce of myrrh, iii tiiie powder, two spoonfuls of the beat honey, and a little sage, in fine powder, inixt d together, with which rub the teeth and gums night and morning. A CHEAP MODE OF MANUFACTURING A BAROMETER.—[ FROM the Calcutta Gazette.]— Take a common phial bottle^ and cut off the rim and part of the neck. This may be done by a piece of string, or rather whipcord^ twisted f- ound it and pulled strongly by two persons in a sawing position, one of whom holds the bottle firmly in his left hand. Heated in a few minutes by the friction of the string, and then dipped suddenly into cold water, the bottle will be decapitated more easily than by any other means.—^ Let the phial be now nearly filled with pump Water, and, applying the finger to its mouth, turn it quickly upside down : on removing the finger, it will be found that only a few drops escape. Without cork or stopper of any kind, the water will be retained within the bottle by the pressure of the external air^ the weight of air without the phial being so much greater than the small quantity within it.— Now let a bit of tape be tied round the middle of the bottle, to which the two ends of the string may be attached so as to form a loop to hang on a nail: let it be thus suspended in a perpendicular manner, with the mouth open, downwards, and this is the bard- meter.— When the weather is fair, and inclined lo be so, the water will be level with the section of the neck, Or rather elevated above it, and forming concave surface. When disposed to be wet drop will appear at the mouth, which will enlarge till it falls, and then another drop, while the humidity of the atmosphere continues.— To the trtith of this experiment I can give my probatum est, but I shall be glad if any of your scientific correspondents will explain more particularly the ratio of it — Why will not the water remain in the bottle un'ess therim be cut off'? which is the / act. Why should the water d'rop in moist weather, w hen as I have tried) holding the bottle before the fire will produce the same effect ? To SPOT A HORSF WITH BLACK SPOTS.— Take three ounces of litharge and six ounces of quick lime, beat them fine and mbi them together; put the riiixture into a pan and pour a sharp ley over it; then boil it, and you will have a fat substance swim at the top, with which anoint the horse in such places as you design to have black, and it will turn that colour immediately. It has the same effect in changing hair that is red into a black colour, with only this difference— you are to take an equal quantity of 1 iriie and litharge, and instead of boiling with ley, bOil it only with fresh water; what swims at the top is fit for use— what hair you anoint in the evening will be black the next morning. THE WANDERING JEW.— This very remark- able story is of considerable antiquity. It had gained full credit in this country before 1228, as w learn from Matthew Par's, 44 For in that year there came an Armenian Bishop into England, to visit the shrines and rerrques preserved in our churches, who being entertained at the monastery of St. Alban's, was asked several questions relative to his country, & c,— Among the rest, the. Monk, who sat' near him, enquired 4 if he had seen or heard of the famous person, named Joseph, that was so much talked of, who was present at onr Lord's crucifixion, conversed with him, and was still alive, in confirmation of the Christian Faith ?' Tlie Bishop answered, 4 the fact was tyae;' and afterwards one of his train, who was well known to the Abbot, interpreting his master's words, told thetft in French, 4 that his Lord knew the person they spoke of very well; and that he had dined at his table a little while before they left the East; that he had been Pontius Pilate's porter, by name Casta phi jus, who, when they were dragging Jesus out of the door of the judgment- hall, struck him with his fist upon his back, saying, Go faster, Jesus, go faster; why dost thou linger?" Upon which Jesus looked at him with a frown, and said 4 I am indeed going, but tfrtiu shalt tarry tilM come.* —- Soon after, he was converted and baptized by the name of Joseph. He lives for ever ; but at the end of every hundred years falls into an incurable iKness, ahd at length into a fit of exUtcy, out of whfeh, when he recovers, he returns to the same state of youth he was rn at the time Jesus suffered, being then about thirty years nf age. He remembers all ihe circum- stances of the death and resurrection of Christ— the Saints that arose with him— the composing file Apostles' Creed— their preaching and dispersion and is himself a very grave and holy person."— Such is the substance of Matthew Paris's account, who was himself a monk at St. A1 ban's, and living at the time of the above remarkable relation.— Since hi era, many impositions have appeared under the name and character of the Wandering Jew, whose several histories may be seen iu Cahners History of the Holy Bible. See also Turkish Spy, vol. II. book 3, letter I. the mysterious u apparition of a human head," mentioned lately in the papers^ was liut the r. u rc work of invention, as has since been asserted ; hut; thai the circumstance is founded on an old tradition, well known to the near connections of the tiohie family iu question. The I which we allude is as follows.— Oue of the traces* tors of the present Earl, who had, unfortunately, not always distinguished himself for the unshaken loyally which characterises his noble descendant, was beheaded in the year 1715. Since that period, au apparition exactly similar to that described, of " a human head unconnected with a trunk," has been occasionally seen by dift'eient members of the family. We understand that its appearance being looked upon as a forerunner of misfortune, aud particularly to the person who beholds it, the subject is seldom mentioned by any Of the family, except to their most intimate friends. Further than this we are not authorised to state, and wearequite unprepared to vouch for the authenticity of the facts related in the above mentioned papers. Extraordinary production of a potatoe that was planted in Capt. Whailey's garden,' in Ihe parish of Stone Eastou, in May last: Ihe produce, when taken out last week, weighed 110 pounds, notwith standing five large rats were dug out of the same spot of ground, which must have destroyed full a tenth part of the crop ; this generative root is known by the name of the Irish flat, and was first brought here by the worthy Captain, iu April last, on his return from a shooting excursion in Ireland A singular occurrence took place close by the stream at Saxthoipe, near Holt, last Saturday morning. A cottage occupied by an elderly man and his wife, was perceived by the latter, while making a bed in the chamber, lo be in motion, and waS shortly aftirwanlp found by her husband lo be sinking. The parties immediately used tliei utmost endeavours fo'remove their furniture; but they had time to takeout only a bed and a few chairs, before it was so far in the earth' as to render further efforts unavailing. A spring flowed sud- denly upon the sinking building, one end of which and a chimney- top only are now visible above the surface of the water,' the depth of which is stated to be from to 20 to 22 feet.— Norwich Mercury. The favoured youth of a female servant in the house of a respectable tradesman, in High- stfeet, Worcester, was, a few nights since, discovered coil cealed in her master's cellar. The watchman was called in, and by whom the gallant was forthwith conveyed to the city prison, where he passed the night, doubtless, far different lo what Re had cal culated upon ; Ihe imprudent inumorafa was dis- charged the next morning. RESURRECTION JEIEN.— On Friday night, about twelve o'clock, Mr. Ashley of Frogmore street, Bristol, who was on the look- out for a gig which bad been hired late in ihe everting of Ins groom, met the vehicle returning from Backwell, and stopped il. It w as found lo contain a corpse, which had been disinterred from Backwell church yard : two individuals were secured aud sent to Bridewell; a third made his escape. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.— A spruce little Gentleman, wbuy during the summer season, is employed us a waiter at one of tbe urns in Harro- gate, called to regale himself at the Elephant and Castle, Knaresborough, on the evening of the fair, and while in bis cups became exceedingly noisy and quarrelsome with the rest of the company, drinking off their glasses sans ceremonie, ami if a remon strance was made, a challenge to fight was the im mediate consequence. At length an honest athletic farmer, to whom he had " shown fight," w hipped the dapper lino under his arm, and cramming him into a sack, tossed & iin into his cart w hich stood at the door, and drove down the street to the distance of a mile from the town, where he was • unhanged, to the great amusement of a vast number of spectators, apd to the evident improve- ment of the manners of the offend?! 1.— Leeds Mercury. ABRIDGEMENT.— On Friday evening last, young man named Arnold, employed in the shop of a Mr. Sentence, iu Southwurk, was shut at and dangerously wounded with a pistol purposely tired at him by a young woman named Taylor, with whom he was acquainted : jealousy was the cause of the act: the young man is in a very dangerous state, and the offender is in custody.— On Friday, a labourer nametf Healherington, was killed by another labourer named Willson, in a pugilistic encounter near Colnbrook.— A new aud very THE KING V. TINE MAGISTRATES OF YORK, SHIRE.— Mr. Scarlett applied to the Court for a mandamus against the Magistrates of Yorkshire, under the following circumstances :— Colonel Sta- ... pyltfni, the visiting magistrate for the House of adition lo c." rrPc, iu" « < Beverley, in the course of bis visitation, discovered that several of the prisoners then standing for trial, were placed at the tread- will, and worked in a similar manner as those that had been already tried. Colonel Slopyltnn considering such a pro- ceeding as wholly irregular, sent in his protest lo the Bench of Magistrates, and requested it might be lake ti into consideration; the Bench refused to do so and lo compel them lo lake his protest into consi- deration, he now applied to the Court fur Hie mandamus.— The Learned Judges observed, that where an individual was placed in prison, he partook of the prison allowance usually given, or he might obtain a better allowance for working, or if the Magistrates fuutid a man who was idle and refused to work, in the exercise of their duty they wero bound to make h'iit, ; therefore they ( the Judges) did not consider Ihe Magistrates were acting in any way wrongfully, aud saw no ground for graining the application.— Mandamus refused. LESTER BROWN AND OTHERS.— This was action brought hy the plaintiff, at the last Shropshire Assizes, to recover from the defendants, Thomas Brown and two of his sons, fanners at Neenton, penalties for fraudulently removing goods to prevent the plaintiff taking tfieui for rent due and unpaid.— We reported this case at full length, after the Assizes : the plaintiff obtained a verdict; but Mr. Taunton, for the defendants, made an objection against the verdict, on the ground that the evidence had proved the father to be only ait accessary and not a principal in the alleged fraudu- lent acts; and that he being the tenant, in which character the Statute uuder which the action was brought would only recognize him as a principal, the verdict could not be maintained.— In the Court of King's Bench, last week, Mr. Pearson ( for Mr. Taunton) moved for a new trial, on the circum- stance referred to and detailed in our report of tlie case— The Judges, b. nvever, were of opinion that,, as the Act was remedial as well as penal, the tenant must he considered a principal, whether he was proved to be such or whether he appeared merely accessary in the acts of fraud.— The rule for a new trial was therefore refused. NOVELTY OF PRACTICE.— In the Court of Chancery, lately, the Lurd Chancellor said, lhat in a cause of Beer v. Ward, which was tried at great length, for two days, before the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and a Special Jury, he hail received a note from that learned Judge, stating' that he had perused the printed report of the above7 trial, and that it was correct; upon which bis Lordship said he should look at it, and treat it as he should have taken the report itself, in the hand- writing of Ihe learned Judge, and consider it as authentic. He thought this satisfied the spirit of the last order of the House of Lords upon that' subject.— This is the first instance we have wit nessed 6f an acknowledgment from the Bench, of the authenticity of any r, port of a trial, except that under the signature of the Judge himself, before whom lte> Yause is tried, and of treating that which is genuine in Ihe same manner as lhat which is authentic. Doe, on Ihe Demise of John Charles Parker, Bartlell, Widow — This was an ejectment, tried at the last Devon Summer Assizes, hy which the plaintiff sought lo recover some lands iii Shothrooke, ia Ibis county, as Ihe only son and heir al law of Richard Parker, formerly of this city, whose life was' terminated nl the NoVe, of which son none of llie Parker family had ever heard, gh , lie was 2i) years old. The marriage of his supposed father aud mother was proved to have taken place iu Scotland, where the claimant was horn, which was also as, distinctly sworn to, and his identity was so full/ established, that the Learned Judge, Mr. Jnsticp Buriough, thought it quile irresistible, and directed lhe Jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, which they accordingly did ; hut this signal Victory " as not enough for Mr. Serjeant Pell, lending counsel of John Charles Parker, for he closed his speech with on observation that in the course of his long practice he had never met with so gross and abominable an al ter. pt as that which had beetrnrtirle by the defendant, to deprive an honest man, meaning bis luMiest client Mr. John Charles Parker, Mrs. Baitleft's supposed nephew, df Ii is just rights. Mrs. Bartlett, however^ was not to be intimidated at this remark of Serjeant' Pell, knowing that he was paid for what he said ; she did not choose, therefore, to he cozened out of her birthright without further inquiry, the result of which, by sending persons into K cot land, has bee » y that this honest client of Serjeant Pell proves, to be not John Charles Parker, the only son and lieir at law of the late Richard Parker, but the son of Donald Cumming, by his wife, who is tlie sister of Richard Parker's widow, both of whom most infamously perjured themselves at the trial; the one, Mrs". - Parker, by swearing that he was her son ; and the splendid drama has been produced and received other, Mrs. Cumming, his mother, by swearing lhat with tile utmost approbation, at Drury Lane: it is she w; ... ~ NEW PATENTS.— To John Christie, of Mark- Lane, London, and Thomas Harpyr, of TAMworth, Staffordshire, for an improved method of combining and using' fuel iu stoves, furnaces, boilers, aud steam- engines.— r- To Joseph Rogerson Cotter, of Castle Magnor, Ireland, ' for certain improvements on wind musical Instr. uniCnts.-^- To John Henfrey, of Little Henry Street, Surrey, and Augustus Applegath, of Duke, Street, Surrey, for certain machinery for casting printing" 1 types.— To Edward Schmidt Swaine, of Bucklersbury, for a method of producing* and preserving artificial mineral waters, and for machinery to effect the same.— To Sir William Congreve, Bart, for various improvements in fire- works.— To Archibald Buchanan, of Cathe rine Cotton Works, Glasg'ovv, for an improvement in the constructing of weaving looms, impelled by machinery, whereby a greater quantity of cotton may be woven in a given time, without injury to the fabric, than by any application of power for that purpose heretofore emploj'ed. iHrobtncial antr SXU& ttUantou&. FIRE.— On Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive cotton mills of Sir Robert Peel, Bart, at Fazeley, Staf. fords hi re, in the occupation of Mr. John Hunter which owiiig to the combustible nature of the property therein, raged with such fury that, in the short space of two hours, the whole of the very valuable machinery, which had but within a few weeks been considerably augmented, together with the stock of manufactured cotton, and that in process, was entirely consumed, and the building, excepting ihe mere outward shell, rased to the earth. The engines from the print- works of Messrs E. Peel and Co. at Bouchill, and from Tamworth, were in early attendance, but before their arrival the fire had become general and appalling beyond description, and every effort to stay its ravages was unavailing. Through the laudable exertions of the persons assembled, tiie greater part of the stock of raw cotton was saved, and insurances had been effected in different offices, which render the loss comparatively inconsiderable. The calamity will be severely felt by a vast number of families, dependent upon their employment in these mills for support; but this is likely to be but of short duration, as active preparations are making for the immediate erection of other mills on the site of those consumed. It is not at present ascertained how the fire originated. Apparition of a Humfin Head!— A very ex- traordinary story relating to a most distinguished Senator has been in circulation at the West end of the town for ihe last few days. We do not vouch for the truth of it, but from the respectability of the source from which we have received the account, we are inclined to believe that some occurience of an unaccountable nature has actually taken place in the quarter referred to. The scene of the transaction is said to have been H Castle, the seat of Earl — r—; and the story goes, that a few evenings since, big Lordship's daughter, Lady Georgiaiia — oi} entering her chamber, was shocked by the apparition of a human head, quite unconnected with a trunk. She immediately fell into strong hysterics, iu which she continued for the greater part of the night, her friends re- maining ignorant of the cause. The next morning by a similar apparition of 44 an air- drawn head" which preceded hjLm into his Lordship's study, and settled, upon a small table. The Noble Earl is known to be a i^ ian of strong mind. He gazed at ihe apparition for a moment, and then calmly com- menced writing. When he looked up from his paper the head disappeared. His Lordship mentioned the circumstance in his family, and then for the first time learned from Lady Georgiana that the cause of her fright was the same; the family immediately left the Cautle. It is added, that the Noble Earl to whom this extraordinary circumstance is said to have occurred, professes to be a believer in astrology.— New Times. In allusion to the above extraordinary statement, another London Paper gives the following ( which is equally marvellous), 44 from a Correspondent:" — We learn from unquestionable authority, that called— 44 The Cataract of the Ganges," and cost in getting up more than £ 5000.— It appears from the Papers that the storm on the 30th ult. swept in its disastrous course the whole western coast of the kingdom, from Scotland to Cornwall.—- The Lord Mayor's dinner on Monday was very poorly attend ed. The Judges were present ; together with the Duke of Sussex, Hon. IL G. Ben net, and about half a dozen other Members of the Opposition in Parliament. Not one other Peer, nor any of the Ministers or Foreign Ambassadors were present The 17th and 53d regiments of foot, at Gosport, and 58th at Brighton, have received orders to march to Weedon.— The project, so long in agitation, of building a new Poultry and Butter Market in Chester, has been abandoned.— The long talked of fiirht batween the noted pugilists Josh.

Um Intelligence DEATH OF THE LORD CHIEF BARON.— We are sorry to record the death of Lord Chief Baron Richards. This event took place at his house in Great Orrnond- street, at half past nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, and the melancholy circum- stance was immediately communicated by a note to the Lord Chancellor.— His Lordship, on taking his seat iu. the Court of Chancery, informed the Bar of the intelligence he had received. The Lord Chief Baron had been long suffering from spasm- odic attacks fo such a decree that his medical attendants had pronounced his life to be extremely precarious. Hts Lordship was iu his 71st year.— In the whole circle of the Profession, no man stood so high in private estimation or public respect as the late Lord Chief Baron. His peculiar urbanity and benevolence, which pervaded every action of his life, gained for him the affectionate attachment of all who had the happiness to share his acquaint ance; with him cold friendship could not exist; his whole time was spent, when free from the cares of his judicial duties, in the exercise of philan- thropy aud Jlje good offices of social life. As Lawyer and a Judge, his decisions, particularly in Exchequer cases, were sound, and built upon the firm basis of deep penetration. He folly enjoyed the friendship and confidence of the Lord Chan- cellor, for whom on several occasions he presided, under special commission, as Speaker of the House of Lords. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 13.— The Grand Jury appeared in Court to be sworn, when Mr. Justice BAYLEY delivered the charge to them — Tn the course of his charge the Learned Jtidg'e adverted to the practice which at present prevailed to such an extent, of publishing ex- parte statements in the shape of Police Reports of Proceedings before Magistrates. Such Reports were frequently ex- tremely injurious and mischievous in their effects, inasmuch as they tended to interrupt the impartial administration of justice by prejudicing the public mind, and tending to bias the opinion of Jurors prior to the time of trying' the parties accused, or who might be the subjects of such enquiries. He had before delivered his opinion on the subject, and he would now repeat it: he was clearly of opinion, such publications were a breach of the law, and would subject the parties offending to have a cri- minal . information filed against them. He trusted those concerned would pay attention to this in timatiou. as present when her sister, Mrs. Parker, was brought to bed of him. Of the above conspiracy^ fraud, and perjury, the most ample proof has beci* obtained ; indeed the young man himself, probably with a view to the support of the sagacious remark of his learned Counsel, in respect to his honesty, has himself written to his solicitor, Mr. S. M. Cox, of this city, acknowledging that he was an impostor, and that he had been instigated lo assume the name and character of John Charles Parker, on the pressing intreaty of his aunt, Mrs. Richard Parker* and his father, Donald Cumming, and that his name was Alexander Cummiug. So m « » b for the glorious uncertainty of Ihe law ; but do not the above civc a instances' give rise fo more melancholy reflections., that in the year 1823, when religion is as it were in the zenith of its glory, persons sbotthl present fhemselves, who by fraud, perjury^ and forged certificates, in an open Court of Justice, anil under the examination aud cross- exanjiiiation of the most able counsel, not o « ly succeed in- depriving, aw honest individual of her rights^ but, fn its conse- quences,: vyithout the unceasing assistance, of her solicitor,, consign that individnal ti> imprisonment and want.—- In the above observation, it is not intended to convey the smallest reflection on, the conduct and character of Mr. Cox, the plaintiff'* solicitor, he hay ing acted under the firmest conviction, that J. C. Parker was ihe person lie professed to be,, and having conducted himself most honourably throughout the whole transaction.— JExeter Paper. METROPOLITAN GAMBLERS.— An offer of a general disclosure of the gambling system was made to a person high in office, by means of an anonymous- letter, in the early part of last week; but, as the • gentleman fo whom it was addressed never attends to communications of this sort, no further notice was- taken of the affair until Wednesday or Thursday^ when the proposal was verbally made through a third person, and after some consideration was finally accepted. The principal was subsequently intro- duced, and pointed out the tendency of his informa- tion, demanding as a preliminary measure ibat his name should in nowise be coupled with any ulterior proceed iiigs that the magistrates under the circum- stances might think proper to adopt. This condition being considered perfectly reasonable, was imme- diately granted, with a further promise of special protection, should circumstances at any future period dictate such'interposition. On the following morm- ing ( Friday), a scroll was exhibited, on which: upwards of two hundred (!) gambling houses of various rank and notoriety were described, with a- minnteness and accuracy that none but the m » st intimate of their visitors could have accomplished.. In addition to the names and characters of the keepers and servants of those houses, were super- added those of the persons who chiefly frequent fhemv together with their respective callings whether real or fictitious. From this document, copies are being taken for the private possession of the different police magistrates, who will, no doubt, apply their informa- tion to the public good. It was at first suggested to publish the whole in the newspapers, with the viev? of guarding inexperienced young men from these haunts of vice and misery ; but, on reconsidering- the subject, the former measure was adopted, as apparently more conducive to ihe ends uf justice, and affording more ample protection to the public, at large. It is true, that with such perfect information, the police might, in some measure, destroy them even in the nest; but it is very well ascertained that they are no sooner trodden down iu one place, than they spring up in another. Much good may, however, result from a patient and prudent warfare on the part of the magistracy and police.
