The Colour of the Ointment is nearly similar to her Cerate ( very generally known by the Name of MARSHALL'S UNIVERSAL CERATE), and the Directions copied nearly Word for Word : there can be no Doubt therefore of the Attempt to impose hy Deception, as the Directions to her CVvate have not been altered for Forty Years, during which Time the superior Excellency of this Cerate has produced so large and extensive a Sale, as to induce some Persons to send forth Preparations for similar Complaints; Purchasers are therefore parti- cularly requested to observe that Mrs. Marshall's genuine Cerate will have her Name alone on the Label: " E.

DEAR SIR, the Benefit of those of my own € Sex, who are so unfortunate as to be in the unhappy State I was in before I took you, plough- inan's Drops, I think it my Duty to inform you, that in February, 1798, I was taken so very ill that I was confined to my Bed upwards of six Weeks; growing still weaker, my Father applied to a Professional Gentleman, who ;: sed the utmost Skill for two Years, when I was nearly worn out, aud expected daily ihe Hand of Death should relieve me, when 1 was advised to try the Infirmary ; a- iid I used the Medicines of that benevolent Institution for twelve Months, but without the least Benefit., My Father was then re- commended to take me to the Salt Water, which, he complied with; but. this Experiment only aihled to my Sorrow, for I grew weaker and weaker. In this lingering- State, Application was made to an eminent Physician, Under whose Prescriptions I remained 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 ap- plied to you, worthy Sir, and after taking- one large Bottle of your inestimable Ploughman's Drops, I found ( blessed be Godlj an Increase of Strength, could eat my Victuals with a good Appetite, and slept soundly; 1 may truly say I had not experi- enced a good Right's Sleep for five Years ; but I now became quite cheerful, a Comfort to myself and Friends, and after taking- only three Bottles I was restored to my former Health, and continue so at this present Moment. Out of Grajftude, dear. Sir, you ! are at. Liberty to publish this in whatever Manner you please. I am, vours, ELIZABETH GRIFFITHS. April 3. 1807.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.— On the 16thinst. young man named Thomas Mills, being employed ith many other workmen, &, c » in procuring ice tbe purpose ot filling . the ice- house at Sundorne ' astle, near this town, and having become very et, was, on the conclusion of their day's labour, asked by two young men, who also> had been at ] oik with him, and who sleep in the garden- house, to partake of their bed, they being aware of his nfit state ( from the wetness of his clothes) to proceed elsewhere through the cold night- air: he accordingly went with them to the garden- house, and some time after the two young men retired to est, and at the same time asked him to come to bed ; but instead of doing so, he drew nearer the : the young men observed this latter circum- stance, but they shortly afterwards fell asleep : the fire, they were aware, was previously very gniall, i but of the subsequent occurrences of the night they could state nothing positively. About five o'clock in the morning, however, it was discovered that the unfortunate young man had fallen on the fire, and had met his death by suffocation and burning! His smock frock was drawn over his head; and from this and other circumstances it is conjectured, that on going near the fire, and from his having been previously very cold, the vital powers were unusually affected— that a state of torpor or drowsiness approximated— that, when under the influence of the latter sensation, lie had still so much energy of mind as suggested ;<> h: m the necessity of retiring to bed— that in endeavour- to. undress himself for that purpose, he was drawing oil" his smock- frock, which he had partly effected, when he fell in an helpless sla. e ( from torpor, cold, and weariness) on ( he fire.— and that,. assistance being present and available, he became an untimely victim to the elements so unhappily thus brought in contact on his person.— The deceased was 27 years of age.

We consider it not at all unlikely that the Mes- sage of the President of the United States will give considerable umbrage to the Russian Government. In truth, the tone of that Message is very decidedly hostile to the extravagant pretensions of a Power which, with all imaginable coolness, contemplated the turning, by a Russian Ukase, of the Pacific Ocean, into a Russian Lake. We have reason to believe that the explanations which have taken place between our own Government, and that of the United States, upon the subject of the Message have been of the most satisfactory kind. We believe, also, we may venture to assure our readers, that upon all the great measures now engrossing the attention of Europe and the United States, this country and America understand each other perfectly, and are upon the best possible footing.

Improvement of the Town and the Holyhead Road. Agreeably to the Resolutions passed at the Meet- ing of the 23d ultimo, a General Meeting of the Committee, kc. was held on Monday last, at the Town Hall, for the purpose of taking into considera- tion the Plan and Estimate prepared by the Sub- j Committee appointed for that purpose. On the proposition of THOMAS KYNNF. RSLEY, Esq. seconded by PANTON CORIIETT, Esq. M. P. Lord CLIVK took the Chair: after which, , PA NT O. N CORBETT, Esq. said,.— My Lord,'.' as chairman of the last meeting of the Sub- Committee, I take the liberty of stating the resiilt of wljat'took place at that meeting, lie then read the Resolution by them agreed upon, viz. 4t That this Committee, having inspected two different Plans presented to them, and having examined the Estimates, are of opinion, that the plan proposed by Mr. Birch for taking the road up the Wyle Cop is cheaper and much more beneficial to the town of Shrewsbury than the plan for taking the Holyhead Road roitftd tbe Walls-, and would answer every purpose for the benefit of the Irish travellers." This resolution, he said, was agreed to by a considerable majority of the persons then prescut. The plan is now in a much greater state of forwardness than it was at that time, and ihe Sub- Committee recommended it for the consideration, of the meeting to- day. The Hon. T. KENYON then asked if any estimates had been prepared, and being answered in the affirmative, said, that having had the honour of pro- posing the Resolution which had just been read, le considered it right to state that two Estimates . lid two Plans had been proposed to the Sub- committee : one round by the Walla, and the other upon a new li;; e as pointed out in. the plan * on the table. [ This plan is to fake off a portion of the N. W, wing of the English Bridge, and place it further back, then to take down the premises between the Bridge and Mr. HazledinvCs, together with part of that gentleman's property, and bring the road in nearly a straight line at the back of the < premises on the right- hand side of the Wyle Cop, so as to come out a. t Dog pole, immediately opposite the Liou Inn, the premises there, namely those of Messrs. Alien, Pars low, Mountford, Dukes & Salt, Crawford, SL part of Mr. Jeffreys'*-, to belemoved.] The Hon. Gentleman continued by saying that three most respectable gentlemen had attended with a valuation of that line, and they pledged their characters as to the accuracy of their report. The new line of road, instead of the present very steep one, would be at an ascent of not more than 1 in 20, which is an ascent very little more than Mardol, the latter being 1 in 21. This ascent, 1 in 20, it was very well known was considered easy trotting ground hv Mr. Telford and all the persons employed$ on the Holyhead Road, and might, there- ore, be considered a good and easy ascent, and one that lie supposed would give perfect satisfaction. The estimate of the expense of the new line up to Dogpole was £ 9000, and of that round by the Walls £ 13,044; he, therefore, thought it would be taking her the SHREWSBURY General Quarter Sessions. At these Sessions, held on Friday last, undermentioned prisoners were tried, and sentenced as follows:-— Alexander Green, for stealing a piece of brown stuff, tin: property of Mr. James Sayer, mercer, from the shop of the said Mr. Sayer, to be Ivans- ported for the term of his natural life.

At these Sessions, held on Friday last, Elizabeth Evans, for stealing a sugar loaf, was sentenced t be imprisoned 6 cal. months.— Jane Morris and Elizabeth Morris, for having in their possession stolen goods, to be imprisoned 6 calendar months. [ Samuel Morris, charged as an accomplice, was acquitted]. wt- John Dicken alias Hill, and John Pugh, charged with stealing a copper still, the property of Mr. Thomas Hilditch, were ordered to be continued until the Assizes. up the time ofthe meeting to say one word upon a thing which speaks apparently for itself. If , the estimate ofthe expense of the line up the Wyle Cop had been £ 13,000, and that round by the Walls £ 9> 0') 0, he should, even then, have preferred bringing the. line of road through, the town j but as the converse was the fact, every one must, allow the new line to be very nftueh superior to the one by the Walls. At the same time, if any gentleman couM devise a plan for making the present line up the Wyle Cop equally good, at the same expense, it. would be far from him to say that such plan would not be the best. Mr. SUTTON objected to the estimate given in for the new line up the Wyle Cop, von the- grOnnd that the proprietors of the premises throtig- h which it nmst pass had not been sounded as to what sums they would part with their property for. The proprietors might ask what sums they pleased, and as the Committee were not empowered ( under the present Act for the Improvement of the Town) to make new streets, the proprietors must conse- quently have their own prices. He then proposed that the present line of the Wyle Cop should be improved by beginning to slope it at an inclination of L in 20 from the top of High Street; this would bring' them down to the middle of the Wyle Cop ; then the bottom to be raised so as not to materially injure the houses, and the driving road to be made of good broken stones instead of the present bad pavement; this he considered would be q; iite sufficient. Viscooirt CLIVE asked Mr. S. if any ^ stimate had been made of the expense of doing flint ? to which he answered No, but he thought Mr. Penson could make it; and more room might be given to the driving- way^ by removing all the steps and pro- jecting shop windows on the north side ofthe Cop. The whole he considered might be done at a com- paratively small expense. Mr. HARLEY.— My Lord, I have just had put into my hands another plan for the improvement of the Wyle Cop: it was placed in my hands by Mr. Hamilton, who prepared it. This plan was to commence at the upper end of High Street, opposite Mr. Lewis's, the jeweller, and take off the summit of the Wyle Cop by lowering it so as to take off 5 feet 6 inches in. the most elevated part, and thereby to form an inclination of 1 iu 17 down to the middle of the Cop, thence to carry the road, either by arches or an embankment, so as to elevate the lowest part of the street 11 feet, which would render the inclination from that point to the Bridge about 1 in 36. The expense, exclusive of the purchase of property that would be required, he estimated at £ 3,100. The Hon. T. KENYON asked if the value of the property would exceed that of the new line, to which Mr. BIRCH replied, it. would, very much.; he thought at least th ree times as md@| l Mr.' HARLEY thought more than that. , •; ^ Mr. HAMILTON said, that if- they were only to embank ' five feet at the bottom of the Wyle Cop, it would be done for £ 1,000 Jess than what he had stated. Viscount CLIVE observed, that there was one thing which did not appear to have been taken into" computation iu the estimates of the new line alluded to,— namely, the remuneration to be made to persons for taking the road away. Mr. BIRCH considered that would not amount to much, as they would not be much injured. The Hon. T. KENYON said it would be best to keep the present line of road, if possible'; but the Sub- Comu) i> tee had only two plans submitted to them, and they decided on the best of those without reference to any other. Mr. HARLEY said, the plan submitted by Mr. Hamilton was similar to one he had himself sug-- gested, but which he found would, after leaving tiie hill from Messrs. Barnes and Carline's shop to the Raven and Bell unnaltered, cost £ 7,000, exclus- ive of the injury done to property in the Friars and Back- Lane. Mr. J. A. LLOYO, after alluding to Mr. Hurley's experience iii buying houses, aud after alterations made re- selling them, asked him what, supposin a capital was raised to purchase the liopes on the right aud left sides ofthe Wyle Cop, would be the Three eminent barristers have been lost to this circuit iu the course of a few months hy promotion in foreign climes; viz. Messrs. Puller, Winter, and Pearson. DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT POLGOOTH MINE.— On Thursday evening ( 15th instant,) a most melancholy accident happened at the above mine, occasioned by the bursting of the boiler of the engine. The explosion was so terrific, that one man named Phillip Rowe, was thrown over the engine house to the distance of 150 feet, and killed, aud another, named Martin, dreadfully hurt, since dead. Pieces of the boiler of 600 weight were carried t « > the distance of six hundred feet, and tore down whole houses. Not a vestige of the house which con^ tairied the boiler remains : and two adjoining houses were literally dashed iu pieces by the explosion. Iu the midst of this distressing relation one providential circumstance merits attention. Captain Reed having occasion for men to assist at the capstan, in order to secure them', went into the boiler- bouse and took away the clothes belonging to those who were ex pected to come from underground. To this circtim stance they owe their preservation : for on coming up, several ran home in their under- ground clothes ; had they staid to change, they must inevitably have shared the fate of their most unfortunate companions. Nothing cauld exceed the consternation o' the in- habitants in the neighbourhood of the accident ; some fancied the end of all things was come, others that an earthquake had happened, and the explosion was heard at the distance of full two lui^ les.—— Royvl estimate of buying, and rebuilding them in a sub- stantial manner, and then selling them ? Mr. HARLEY said, that, would entirely depend upon the situation of the respective houses for busi- ness, namely, whetiieiv was a desirable one or not; and, in elucidatio. u, observed that there was house in Lee Stalls which the Committee of Ma nagement purchased from Mr. Cooke for £ 580, an re- sold, subject to the purchaser nulling the sam down and rebuilding it on a plan ' aid down by the Committee, for £ 490, which was 10 less than the purchase; but had the same house b& en in Barker Street, or any other that was not a desirable situation for business, the loss would have been much more, because the expense ofrebuilding would have been the same and the locality not so good. Mr. BIRCH said, that if the lower part of th& Wyle Cop was to be raised to the extent mentioned, the houses there would require a foundation of 21 feet, on an average, before they got ou a level with the road, and that not above 10 feet of such foundation would be useful as cellaring. Mr. HAIILEY.— T found the plan iinpractieab! without incurring a much greater expense than the present line cost. I estimated that, beginning at the English Bridge and ending at ftJr. Bliinf s, with vtbe increased width at the deepest point of. about 20 I met, and to 10 feet deep at the English Bridge, in- cluding the building a dwarf wall on the lei't hand side of the street ( which it was proposed to raise 4 feet to Support the road), fixing a stone curbing-, and iron pallisading on the wail, lowering the top of the Wyle Cop from the Liou to the end of Hig Street? forming additional width of road occasioned by taking down the houses, making foot- paths with stone curbing, & c. exclusi ve of the property in the Friars and Back Lane, would cost £ 7000 ; but when I took into account the injury, that would be done to property in the Friars and" in'tlie Back Lane, I considered the plan impracticable. Mr. BIRCH said, his idea for the same was that it would cost £ 8000; and he thought Mr. Hamilton's plan would cost at least .£ 12,000. The Hon. T. KENYON said, supposing £ 7000 was to be laid out on the Wyle Cop, including the ex- pense of property that would be damaged^ what, would be the ascent ? Mr. HARLEY considered it. would be 1 in 15 on A considerable part of it; which Mr. KENYON said was too much. Mr. SUTTON.— Have you a right to value the property in the new line ?— Suppose thfe parties will not. agree to the valuation, can you bring them to a jury ? Hon. T. KENYON.— We read the Act before the Sub- Committee, and there appears a power to make terms with the parties if you can ; and if not then togotoajurv. We had the assistance of a pro- fessional gentleman, and he said we could. Mr. SALT referred to the Act, and said it would not bear them out iu making a new street. Mr. KENYON.- Vrhen there will be the extra ex- pense of an Act of Parliament Mr. HARLEY.— It will be impossible to do it any way without an Act of Parliament to raise the money, Viscount CLIVE, after reading the clauses alluded to in the Act, aud its preamble, said it was quite clear that it was not in the contemplation of Parlia- ment to give them a power to make new streets. Mr. HARLKY then observed that the new line would require 19 arches, each of them 18 feet 1 inch wide, which would form a valuable addition to a great deal ofthe property, and the giving up of these arches to parties would go a great way towards com- pensating them for the injury done to their property. Colonel GOOCH recommended Mr. Hamilton's plan, or something to that effect, as worthy the attention of the meeting. Mr. HARLEY said the great expense of Mr. Ha- milton's plan would be the injury done to private property. Mr. PENSON ( who was in the Town Hall upou other business, but had been sent for) said the expense of making the road on Mr. Hamilton's plan would be trifling compared with the damage to private property, and it would be impossible for an engineer to say what that would amount to without a valuation. Mr. SUTTON said the road might be carried to the Friars in a gentle slope, without materially injuring private property. It was clear they could not get a new line of road without an Act of Parliament, but let us not leave the Wyle Cop in its present state until that is obtained. It is now in such a state that it ought to be indicted. Hon. T. KENYON.— I have anxiously waited to see whether any objection would be stated to the proposition made by the Committee ; and though if a practicable plan could be found to keep the road up the Wyle Cop, even at an increased expense, it would be the best, still it would be one ou which the Committee gave no opinion. The only plans submitted to them were, up the new line of road or round the Walls; and I am glad no one has ven- tured to say one word about the one round the Walls. I therefore move this resolution :— u That this meeting having examined two plans for amend- ing the road through Shrewsbury, one for taking the road up the Wyle Cop, and another for taking the road round the Walls, are of opinion that the plan which preserves the line of the Irish road through the centre of the town is preferable to that which would take the road by the Walls. During the wording of this resolution, Mr. KEN YON said the great object ofthe Irish travellers was to get rid of the hill-- clo that, and the other improve- ments on that line through the town might be done by degrees. Get the hill done, and you have the strongest argument in favour of Shrewsbury not being left out of the Irish road. The resolution was then put, was seconded by J. A. LLOYD, Esq. and carried unanimously. Mr. SUTTON spoke to improving the present state of the Wyle Cop. Mr. J, A. LLOYD was against all palliatives, on the ground that any expense laid out as palliative would be so much taken from the fund for the general object. Mr. Haycock, Mr. Birch, and Mr. Harley then most handsomely offered to render every assistance in making a plan and estimate of the present line of Wyle Cop. J. A. LLOYD, Esq. was about submitting a reso- lution to that effect; when Mr. KENYON proposed that Mr. Hamilton's name should be added. Mr. SUTTON also wished some one conversant with road- making' to be joined with them, and mentioned Mr. Penson. The expense of the neiv line would be so very enormous that they ought to be content with something less. He thought there ould be no objection to the road, if the pavement was taken up, the top lowered, and the bottom aised a little, and the road made of good broken stone ; and he was about to move a resolution, hen, after some conversation with J. A. LLOYD, Esq. the latter gentleman moved 44 That Messrs. Haycock, Birch, Harley, Hamilton, and Penson, be. requested to prepare, a plan and estimate for im- proving the present ascent up the Wyle Cop— to include the purchase of the houses on both sides of the street as far as may be necessary ; the expense of pulling down and rebuilding them, and their probable value when so rebuilt; care to be taken to distinguish the value of the property on each side of the street ; the expense of raising the lower part of the road, and cutting down the summit of the hill, so as not to render the ascent greater than 1 in 20." This was. seconded by JOSEPH SUTTON, Esq. and carried unanimously. Mr. SUTTON said,, that Mr. Hamilton wished to modify the plan he had proposed, so as to prevent Uiuch injury to the property ; and lie thought it possible to make a very good road without pulling down or materially injuring any part of the pro- perty on the Wyle Cop. He should prefer Mr. Penson and Mr. Hamilton to prepare one plan, and the other three gentlemen another. Mr. KENYON thought Mr. Penson and Mr. Ha milton would hardly be able to judge of the damage that would be done to private property. Mr. SUTTON said he should like Mr. Penson and Mr. Hamilton to make a plan of the best way of improving- the Wyle Cop. The resolution just passed he considered a thing of too great magni- tude. To attempt to reduce the ascent to 1 in 20, precluded any other feasible plan short of that. Viscount CLIVE said 1 in 20 was the general nclination preserved on the Irish Road. Mr. SUTTON wished to know what could be done without taking down the property at Mountford's corner, & c. on the new line. Viscount CLIVE thought that when the plans were prepared, according- to the directions given to the fi- entlemen, it would embrace every thing Mr. Sutton wished. Mr. SUTTON thought it would not; he fully per ceived that the magnitude of the plan would be so great as to prevent any thing being done witlj it, and, therefore, wished a plan and estimate of what could be done in reducing the ascent up the Wyle Cop without materially injuring the property. Mr. SALT wished a plan and estimate of the expense of raising and embanking a driving- road of 21 feet in the middle, leaving a foot path of five feet on the north side of the Wyle Cop and a car- riage- way of 16 feet on the other side, and lowerin. the. top of the hill. Mr. HARLEY said the objection to such a plan was, that the entrance to the Unicorn would be destroyed. Mr. SALT considered that difficulty might be got over by making a drift- way from the Bridge to the property belonging to the Unicorn, by taking- down making an archway through the house next to the Bridge. He then moved that the same five ftentlemen be requested to estimate the value of the property at the corner of Dogpole now in the occu- pation of Messrs. Mountford and Purslow, the expense of making a back- approach to the Unicorn and a double driving- road from the English Bridge in the manner pointed out by him. This resolution was seconded by Mr. J. EATON, and carried. J. A. LLOYD", Esq. then moved that this meeting do adjourn to this day month, at twelve o'clock precisely. Mr. HARLEY produced a paper containing an esti- • IVT- „|„ N subject, was coining to figures, If any thing material was done it ninst be by some such plan as Mr. Harley had pointed out : for if much money was to be laid out, nothing could be done in the way of payment without Tolls in some shape or other. Viscount CLIVE having left the Chair, and PANTON CORBETT. Esq. M. P. taken it; the cordial thanks of the Meeting were, on the motion of J. A.

U iriiUniiuv nnnnmlt » Sni,— As an Inhabitant and a Burgess of the ancient town of Shrewsbury, I may be allowed to. express my satisfaction at the favourable prospect which is now before us, of surmounting the Ca, mel's back— the Wyle Cop. That, in truth, is the only real objection to the road through Shrewsbury; and to that all our attention, should be, confined. What may be hereafter deemed requisite for the internal appearance and convenience of the town may be justly left for posterity to accomplish. One generation cannot perform all which'may be con- sidered requisite for another. It i, s sufficient for us to act according to our naturnal strength and ability: for, by so doing, we appease those who demand our exertion. From the commencement ofthe agitation of this question, it was not a little to b. e feared t[ yat, in the inidst of a variety of choice, we might haye become supine, and have chosen nothing,; resembling the ancient warriors, who, being too heavily armed, became useless in battle. But now that moderation has taken the place of extravagance, it becomes the duty of all to render their assistance, with cheerfulness and promptitude, to the accomplish- ment of a desirable end— the preservation of the advantages devolving upon the. town from its being the gr^ at thoroughfare of Irish and other travellers. The town is much indebted to Lord CUve, the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, John Arthur LLoyd, Esq. and many other active gentlemen, for their exer- tions on this occasion. May those who may yet interest themselves in Salopians weal have Economy for their motto, Caution for their shield, and Skill for their guide 1 Which, Mr. Editor, is the least pardonable offence— to sin in Poetry, or sin in Prose? Many, on the present subject, have erred in Prose. Be kind enough to listen to me while I err in Rhyme. While passing along a street the other day, my notice was attracted by a small crowd ; having the seeds of curiosity in me, I was induced to hasten to the spot, when my ears were assailed bv the following DIALOGUE " between a Burgess of Shrewsbury, and all Archi- tect, relative to some of the extravagant schemes fur the Improvement of the Irish Road : , BURGESS. Your projects, Mr. Architect, Awake the People's fears : By Int'rest arm'd, you fain would pull The Town about our ears ! ARCHITECT. Let patience, Mr. Burgess, rule, And mercy shew, I pray : Like other men's, your maxim is All profit and no pay. RU RG ESS. Not so : at Reason's softest call My mite I would supply : But if you stab her through the heart. The I'own, alas, must die ! ARCHITECT- Truce with that thought, ' tis Folly's own,— For me—/ ne'er shall grieve— What matter if the People die, Provided / may live! BURGESS. Kind Sir !— but, had I power, your sport Would prove a losing play- Invention's springs should soon be shut, For— those who plan should pay ! I hope, Sir, you will be inclined lo think, with me, that the Burgess had the best of it. Your most obedient Servant, JAN. 19,1824. B.

After inspecting it, Lord CLIVE said the only way qf coming to a right understanding of the Port of Lirerpool.— The gross receipts of duties at the Custom- housed uring the past year, J823, amounted to £ 1,803,402. 13s. 6d. In 1822, they were £ 1,591,123. 15s. 4d. Increase £ 217,278. 18s. 2d.— At the Excise- office the gross receipts were for the past year, 1823, £ 2,124,506. 2s. 5d. In 1822 they were £ 2,036,007. 5s.

Two fine sheep were roasted and distributed, with bread, vegetables, and plenty of cwrw da, to the poor. A numerous party of gentlemen assembled to dinner at the Blue Bell, Richard Owen, Esq. of G, landulas, in the chair ; and at eight o'clock the party adjourned to the Black Lion, where the scene of festivity was renewed and kept up with spirit to a late, or rather, an early hour. At a Turnpike Meeting, held at Brecon on Wednesday last, the Commissioners ordered the public avenues into the town of Brecon to be lighted with gas, at the expense of the Trust; and a most material improvement to the road from Brecon to Builth, by widening the Pontwiliim hill, was unanimously agreed to.

AN ASSQCJATION lias been formed in London, for working some of the principal Mines in MEXICO, It appears that, during the Revolution, the working these Mines lias been suspended by the disturbed state of the Country, and the principal part of them have become, in consequence, nearly filled with water. To supply the Capital and Machinery necessary for restoring these Mines to activity, is the object of this Association ; iu return for which, the Mine Proprietors concede, in some cases, a share of the produce of the Mine foraterm of years, and in others, part of the Proprietorship. The Mines for which contracts have thus been made, are VALBNCIANA— 1TEPEYAC— SIREN A— CATA— LA LUZ — situated on the mother vein, in the district of GUANAXUATO; and PURISSIMA CONCEPCION, in tbe district of Porosi. They are considered some of the best Mines in tbe Country, and a particular description of them, especially of the great Mine of VAI. ENCIANA, will be found in the third volume of Hiimboldi's New • Spain. The Capital of the Company is a Million sterling, divided into 10,000 Shares of £ 100 each - The first instalment, of 5 per cent, has been paid Ihe remainder of'the money is to be called for iu instalments of5 percent, each, the Directors giving thirty days' notice of each call. It does not appear, however, by the Prospectus of the Company, that the contracts already entered into will require more than from 3 to £ 400,000. This undertaking will • produce important consequences in Mexico, by hringiug into circulation an immense quantity of Capital, now lying unproductive in the bowel's of the earth, a greal part of which will be devoted In the purchase of British manufactures. The Mines are staled to be all private property; and as they belong to native Mexicans, tlicy have not changed hands during any ( if the changes of Government iu that Country. The following is a List' of the Directors of this Association : MATTHIAS ATTWOOD, Esq M. P. J. II. ANDER DON, Esq. DAVID BEVAN, Esq. DAVID BARCLAY, Esq. CTIARI. ISs HERRING, Esq. GEORGE LYALL, Esq.

THE LATE FIGHT.— It affords- us real pleasure in beiug enabled to state from, the enquiries we have made, that the sufferers by the falling of the hustings at the late conflict upon our Race Course are going on as favourably as can he expected from the nature of their injuries, and that so far from several deaths having been the consequence of the unfortunate catastrophe, as. has. been, reported, the medical attendants now entertain the most san- guine hopes of the ultimate recovery of their patients even in the most serious cast s. The frac- tured limbs have, we helivve, nearly all been reduced with success, a. » d ii is hoped that in vno instance will the painful alternative of amputation be found necessary —^ jVorcgsfer Herald, Jan. 16. At. the Worcester Sessions, last week, James Collins and, Thomas Jones, charged with having, between the hours of six o'clock in the evening of the 10th, and seven o'clock in the morning of the llthiust. unlawfully entered a certain wood, called Wcymans \ Vood, in the parish of Clifton upon- Tcme, and Little Shelsley, armed with, a gun for the purpose of destroying game. It appeared from the evidence of Benjamin Mills, game- keeper to Lord Foley, an< l of Thomas Price his assistant, that the wood iu question is an extensive preserve belonging to Sir T. E. Winnington, Bart, and that whilst going thei$ usual rounds about 11 o'clock of the night, mentioned iu the indictment, they heard the report of a gun several times in its direction. They immediately proceeded thither, and placing themselves upon the watch, in a short time the prisoners issued from the wood, and upon which the keepers laid hold of them.;—- They made no resistance. As the keepers, approached, Rollins was observed to drop a gun aud pheasant. The gun oo examination had the appearance of having been recently discharged, ^ lid the pheasant w^ S quite warm. On Jones were found nine pheasants * ied up in a smock frock, which it was evident rom their limp and shattered state, had been killed that night upon their roosts Collins, who had been once before convicted of an offence of this nature, and has the repute of being most expert poacher in the county, was' sentenced to seven years1 transportation, and Jones to two. years1 imprisonment to hard labour. George Drink water, James fJ. eckett, and Samuel Clewarth, charged with stealing a small quantity of earthenware, the property of Messrs. Pick fold and Go/ carriers. The prisoners were boatmen in the employ of the prosecutors, and the property was purloined from a crate consigned to them for conveyance by one of their boats to London, hy Messrs.

Faulkner, was t » ied at llie Somersetshire Sessions, for stealing silver spoons and forks, from John Thomas, Esq. at Prior Park, lie did not employ counsel, but cross examined the witnesses himself iu a most impudent aud artful manner: the result was that oue of the witnesses, in an answer to the prisoner, said, 44 Why how can you say that-— did you not fall d, own upon your knees uben we caught yon, atnj beg us to let you go, saying that you should bo transported, if we took you before a Magistrate The Jury, who were standing up, on hearing t| m all sat down, and a verdict of guilty was returned against the prisoner. He was sentenced to seven years transportation beyond the seas, and at the conclusion of the sentence said, with a most signi- ficant look, " and when | come liack, | will call upon Mr. Thomas again." CAMBRIDGE SESSIONS—. Limes Leech, a stu- dent of the University? was indicted at these Sessions on the l$ th instant, on a charge of swindling, . he having sent a letter, in the name of William Henry Ord, to Mr. Newhy, bookseller, of Cambridge, for four volumes of Heyne's Virgil, [ with ah intent to defraud him of the same; and likewise sent another letter, in the name of Thomas, " Lord Haigh, to William Warreker, of Cambridge, for ii dozen pair of silk stockings, a number of shirts, silk gloves, & c. with a similar intent.— Several witnesses were examined in proof of the indictment ; after which the defendant addressed the Jury : he made a powerful appeal to their feelivigs, and concluded by protesting'his innocence of the crime with which he stood charged — A number of witnesses were examined as to his character, when the Recorder summed up the evidence.— The Jury then retired, and in two hours returned a verdict of Guilty — The defendant seemed to be quite overcome at hear- ing his doom : he'hid his face between his hands, and sobbed!— The Recorder then addressed him, and said the evidence had been such as jo leave no doubt of his guilt in the minds of any who heard it,— The sentence of the Court was imprisonment for two years.— The defendant did not appear to be more t han 18 or 19 years of age. Robbers defeated.— Some Ijrne between Satur- day night antl nine o'clock on Sunday evening, the 11th instant, theshop of IVJr. Moncas, watchmaker, of Castle- street, in Liverpool, was broken open, but the villains were hot able to obtain access to the place where much valuable property was deposited. This is one of the most daring attempts at burglary which has vet been known. The thieves, by pick- ing a lock,-' obtained an entrance to a passage at the hack of the premises, which had no connexion with them," and succeeded in making an aperture into a brick- wall sufficiently extensive to admit anyone. Here they found the door leading into the . shop so completely secured, that they were obliged to, m ike another opening, which I hey effected through a dyuble- brick- wall, large enough to admit a boy, who, it is supposed, unfastened the door. Having obtained admission to the shop, and probably not thinking it worth while to attempt the iron door of a strong room, they commenced another suc- cessful attack on brick and mortar, but, meeting an iron plate which lined the room, thApfurlher efforts to get access into it were entirely defeated. It is remarkable, that no attempt appears to have been made on any of the Windows, which are all well secured. Who'll buy a Heart ? who'll buy t who911 buy ?

Of the detestable murder of Weare— however bad a man he may bave been— we rejoice to find that but one sentiment, and Ihat of general exe- cration, pervades the kingdom :— of the trial, the same unanimous feeling of approbation is express- ed. Of the principal murderer, we regret to say, Ihat too favourable an opinion has not only been excited ; but, w ha! is slill worse for the interests of society, publicly promulgated by some portion of the Press— abused and reviled as that very Press u as by the deliberate and cold- blooded assassin. We regret and lament this manifestation of sympathy the more, because of all the cases of murder that ever came before a British Jury, that of Gill's Hill Lane was decidedly the most atrocious aud fiend- like. Thurtell, the ill- fated victim of his own bad passions, is now before that AWFUL TRIBUNAL, with which it would be little short of blasphemy were man lo interfere, even by the utterance of a w ish or a thought. We owe it, however, to the community— to every principle which is valuable lo mankind— to the security of the domestic hearth — and to the safely of that generation which is to occupy our places upon earth, when all that is mortal of us shall be as tue clod of the valley :— we owe it to all these considerations lo hold up this Wretched man as a warning to all future times, aud to chain his memory upon the gibbet of perpetual infamy. For the innocent and honourable mem- bers of his family we have every feeling of sorrow, and of that sympathy which we must withhold from their desolater and debaser:— ours is not the net that brings the grey hairs of his venerable father, and of his pious and amiable mother, with measureles's sorrow, lo the grave; ours is uot the denunciation that has associated a name once unsullied, and estimable, and virtuous, with the foulest crime. For Iheir sakes we would he silent as Ihe mule and voiceless skeleton of what was once iheir son ;— did not the present and eternal welfare of our fellow- beings call forth such an expression of our sentiments as may arouse deep horror in those who have been betrayed into au unworthy weakness, by the extraordinary hardihood of ihe only criminal within our recollection— the only murderer at least— whose fate has been marked tiy such an exhibition of tenderness in persons who never can have known him before his hands were sieeped in the blood— and splashed with the brains of his betrayed and murdered friend. Could one lingering doubt of his guilt have survived Ihe conclusion ofthe trial, and the passing of the just judgment upon Thurtell, his conduct in the closing hours of his criminal career must have confirmed and approved the verdict of the Jury, and the declared opinion of the Judge, / lgainst that verdict he never dared to appeal :— from Ihe utterance of that opinion, he never affect- ed to protest his innocence! It was a scene full of appalling truth to the wickcd— of awful instruction even to the innocent. With the affected fervour of conscious virtue, and with a solemnity suited even for religious exercise, the murderer, in the presence of a crowded concourse of his fellow- o- eatures, called upon Ihe OFFENDED MAJESTY of HRAVEN, to u- itness and record his plea of innocence! But what must he have endured— bold, daring, and crime- hardened as he was— what must he have felt, w hen in the presence of that Court, and with Ihe sound of that arch hypocrisy yet vibrating iu his ears, the learned Judge set its true value upon his theatrical protestation, by addressing him in Ihe following terms:—' Not- withstanding your repeated and confident asse- verations of your innocence, I must declare, that such has been the force of the evidence against you, ihat I urn, in my mind, as confident of your guilt, as if J, with my mortal eyes, had seen the commission of the crime!!!'''— And this is the being wilh whom some men can sympathize — over whose fate even gaolers and turnkeys can weep-— whose bloody baud has been, even since his conviction, shaken cordially by many persons of professed respectability— before whom a crowd of Englishmen could bare their beads in token of their rcspect, when he appeared upon ihe scaffold, to expiate by a death of shame the foulest and the most brutal assassination upon record !-- Never was felon mine guilty— never was guilt more aggra. valid,— His doom is sealed— but posterity has some claim to the only security we can afford, in the prevention of crime, by perpetuating the ignominy of murderers in our own day :— indeed something exemplary seems called for, whilst we now write, since even the murderer Thurtell can find apologists!— admirers!!— and mourners!!!— in the public press of the Metropolis.— But we must conclude :— and iu doing so, we solemnly aver, that in our minds next to the principal, Thurtell, Probert stands prominent in guilj: — a seIf- convicted murderer!— more criminal even than his accomplice Hunt— and as heartless a wretch as ever disgraced humanity ! MATCH IT. OM WORCESTER TO LONDON.— A match was made off- hand on Friday evening, at Worcester, by Captain Shaw, that he would produce a man to start at four o'clock on Saturday morning, lo go oil fool from Worcester turnpike- gate, In Ihe end of Park lane, London, for a bet of 200 sovereigns. It was more than a burse could do, and the match was made. The distance is 112 miles, and Ihe man had thirty- seven hours to do il in. The pedestrian's name is Steer, a Shropshire man, who lalelv performed 100 miles in 24 hours. His first halt was at Pershore, nine miles in two hours, where he changed his wet clothes, and pro- ceeded mi to Broadway, and was half an hour mounting ihe tremendous hill, about a mile and a quarter up. He reached Moreton in the Marsh at half past eleven o'clock ( twenty- eight miles), and ale a foul ravenously. His next halt was at Chipping Norton, thirty- five miles, at half- past one o'clock, having perfoimed at the rate of four failles an hour, including stoppages. He reached Yarnlon, about half way, in sixteen hours, and was fresh and well. The pedestrian mended his pace al Oxford, and did twenty miles in four hours, as if jost getting at his work. He halted at Wycoinb at eight o'clock oil Sunday morning, leaving himself ten hours to do the remaining twenty nine miles. He reached his destination soon after five o'clock on Sunday evening, with much ease, winning by nearly an hour. EFFRONTERY OF POACHBUS.— A nobleman in Kent, instructed his agent to take efficient means for preserving Ihe game, as he intended shooting during the holidays. Those orders were strictly obeyed; notices were profusely circulated over the demesne; aud the number of keepers doubled, with directions to apprehend any person found shooting without a written authority from his Lordship or the agent. Last week four persons, well accoutred, were observed shooting ill one of the choicest inclosures, which had generally been reserved for Ihe noble proprietor's particular use The report of Ihe guns quickly brought some of the keepers to the spot, who were told, by one of the poaching gentry, " that he and his friends shot there by permission of Lord , and would con- tinue to do so, in defiance of the orders of any agent, as long as they had authority of the pro. prietor." The ( one of confidence iu which this reply was delivered silenced the suspicions of Ihe keepers, and the parties continued their sport daily, generally bagging from 40 lo 50 head of game in each day. However, on Thursday his Lordship, accompanied by a couple of friends, arrived in the country : ill a saunter over the grounds the follow- ing morning, Ibe nobleman chanced to light on Ihe very gentleman who so flippantly boasted a privilege Ihat had never been granted, and who was now committing dreadful havoc on ihe winged in- habitants of Ibis very inclosure, when the noble owner entered it. His Lordship politely enquired, " if the gentlemen had the agent's permission for shooting in that cover'" No, I shoot here by permission of his master, Lord ." The peer with his friends returned to the Lodge, and a posse of keepers were sent in quest of the presumptuous intruders, who were subsequently transferred to the county gaol. They are thus described in the com- mitment—" A lawyer's clerk, a linen draper's ap prentice, an excise officer of customs, & a strolling player!" Sporting, RACING CASE .-^- County Court, Lancaster, Jan. 2.— GREENWOOD a. OLIVER.— This was an action to recover the amounts of two several wagers made between the parties as follow :— The defend- ant bet the plaintiff five guineas to one guinea upon the race for the 25 guineas stakes to be run foi- st Khutsford on the 31st July last, taking General Mina against the field, 44 play or pay," and the plaintiff bet the defendant £ 25 to £ 5 on a race for 50 guineas' stakes to be run on the same day, taking- General Mina against Squib, 44 play or pay." The wagers were made on the 10th July last, and re- duced into writing by the defendant, who, as well as the plalnti ff, signed the memorandum. General Mina did not start in the first race, nor, as was observed by one of the Advocates, did Squib gooff in the last, consequently the defendant lost both the wagers. The defendant relied upon a declaration that he would be off the wagers, which declaration was proved to have been made to the holder of the memorandum about an hour and half previous to the races bein*>- run, and when it was known that General Mina would not start for the 25 guineas' stakes. The Learned Assessor, John Addison, jun. Esq considered the defence insufficient ; he said the defendant must not be allowed to lie by for the space of eight or ten days, and then, upon finding that the odds were against, him, rescind the agree- ment., which at the time of making it was as fair as such transactions in general are ; and in answer to a question from the Jury, whether a party could n* » t declare off a wager at any moment before the race upon which it depended was run, the Learned Assessor observed that upon a play or pay bet he apprehended not. If certainly might be done any reasonable time before the race, if the chances remained the same as when the wager was made ; but aft^ Jhere was an alteration in the chances', he thought it was too late, and in this case the defend- ant knew when he declared off that the horse which he had bet upon would not run.*— Verdict for the plaintiff. PANACEAS FOR POVERTY. [ FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.] " I like not the humour of bread and cheese." SHAKESPEARE, From the days of Job, downwards, COMFORTERS ( to me) have always seemed the most impertinent set of people upon earth. For you may see, nine times in ten, that they actually gratify themselves in what they call 44 consoling" their neighbours; and go away in an improved satisfaction with their own condition, after philosophizing for au hour and a half upon the disadvantage of your's. There are several different families of these bene-- volent characters abroad; and each set rubs sore places in a manner peculiar to itself. First and foremost, there are those who go, in detail, through the history of your calamity, shewing ( as the case may he) either how completely you have been outwitted, or how exceedingly ill or absurdly you have conducted yourself— and so leave you with 44 their good wishes," and an invitation to " come and dine, when your troubles are over." Next, there are those, a set, I think, still more intolerable, who press the necessity of your resolvin, immediately upon " something;" and forthwith de- clare in favour of that particular measure, which, of all the pis alters of your estate, is the most perfectly detestable. Thirdly, come the 44 whoreson caterpillars," who are what people call " well to do" in the world ; and especially those who have become so ( as they believe) by their own good conduct. These are very particularly vile dogs indeed! I recollect one such-*-( he was at) opulent cheesemonger,)— who had been porter in the same shop which he afterwards kept, and had come to town, as he used to boast, without cash enough to buy a night's lodging on his arrival. This man had neither love nor pity for any human being. Re met every complaint of distress with a history of his own fortunes. No living creature, as he took it, could reasonably he poor, so long as there were birch brooms or watering- pots in the world. He would tell those who asked for work, that tf idle- ness was the root of all evil;" prove to people 44 that a penny was the seed of a guinea," who were without a farthing in the world; and argue all day, with a man who Ijad nothing, to shew that 44 out ofa little, a little might be put by." Fourthly, and in the rear, march those most pro voking ruffians of all, who uphold the prudence of always 4< putting the best face" ( as they term it) upon an affair. And these will cure your broken leg by setting it off against somebody else's hump hack, and so soundly demonstrate, that you have nothing to complain of; or admit, perhaps ( for the sake of variety), the fact that you are naked, and proceed to devise stratagems how you shall be con- tented to remain so. And it is amazing what a number of ( mad upon this particular point,) but otherwise reasonable and respectable persons, have amused themselves by proving, that The Poor have an enviable condition. The poor 44 Poor!" They seem really to have been set up as a sort of target, for ingenuity to try its hand upon; and, from Papin, the Bone Digester, down to Cobhett, the Bone Grubber,— from Wesley, who made cheap physic, and added to every pre- scription 44 a quart of cold water," to Hunt who sells roasted wheat ( vice coffee) five hundred per cent, above its cost— an absolute army of projectors and old women has, from time to time^ been popping at them. High among these philosophers, indeed I might almost say at the head of them, stands the author of a tract called 44 A Way to save Wealth ;" which was published ( I think) about the year 1640, to shew how a man might thrive upon an allowance of TWOPENCE per day. The observations preparatory to the promulgation of this inestimable secret, are worthy of every body's — that is every poor body's— attention. First, the writer touches, generally, upon the ad vantage of 44 thin, spare diet;"— exposing how all beyond is u mere pitiable luxury ;"— enumerating the diseases consequent upon high living ; and point- ing out the criminal acts and passions to which it leads;— evidently demonstrating, indeed, to the meanest capacity, that no man can possibly eat goose, and go to Heaven. Shortly after, he takes the question up upon a broader ground; and examines it as one of mere worldly policy, and of mere convenience.— 44 The man who eats [ flesh, has need of other things ( veget- ables) to eat with it; hut that necessity is not felt by him who eats vegetables only." If Leadenhall market could stand against that, I am mistaken. The recipes for cheap dishes will, no doubt ( when known,) come into'general practice ; so they shall be given in the Saver of Wealth's own words.— Here is one—( probably)-— for a Christmas dinner. 44 Take two spoonfuls of oatmeal; put it into two quarts of cold water, then stir it over the fire until i boils, and put in a little salt and an onion. An< this," continues our Economist,-- 44 this does not cost above a farthing ; and is a noble, exhilarating meal!"— For drink, he afterwards recommends the same dish ( unboiled);— and no form of regimen, i must he admitted, can be more simple, or con venient Now this man was, certainly ( as the phrase is,) * 4 something like" a projector in his way. And it seems probable that he met with encouragement; for, passing- the necessities, he goes on to treat upon the elegancies of life. Take his recipe for instance, next,-- 44 For dressing ( cleaning) a hut." 44 Smear a little soap on the places of your hat which are felthv, and rub it with some hot water and a hard brush. Then scrape it with the back of a knife, what felth sticks; and it will bring both grease and soap out."— The book of this author is scarce;— I suspect the hatters bought it up to pre- vent this secrt- t from being known. Onlv one more recipe— and really it is one worthy to he* written in letters of gold; worthy to stand beside that never- to- be- forgotten suggestion of Mrs. Rundell's—( she who now in the kitchen of the gods roasts!— that * 4 roasts" in a proper sense, not is roasted),— her immortal direction to prevent the creaking of a door,— 44 Rub a bit of soup on the hinges !"— This it is. 44 To make your teeth white" 1 Take a little brick dust on a towel, and rub them."— The mechanical action ( the reader sees,) uot the chemical; but potent notwithstanding ! But Mrs. Rundell deserves better than to be quoted, iu aid, on an occasion like this; nay merits herself to take rank, and high rank, among our public benefactors. Marry, I say, that the thing is so, and shall be so ; for, even amidst all the press and crowd of her moral and culinary precepts,— even bile she stands already, as a man may say, 44 in double trust," teaching us good lifejn one page, and good living in another; here, holding up her ladle against " excessive luxury," such as 44 Essence of Ham"—( praised be her thick duodecimo, but for which the world had never known that, there was such a perfume;)— and, presently, pointing out the importance, and weeping over the rarity of such 44 creature comforts" as strong coffee, and smooth melted butter;— ever and anon, even amid all these complicated interests, the kind lady finds room to edge in a thought or two about the poor. Pour enchantillon,. 44 The cook should be charged," says Mrs, It. 44 to save the boiling of every piece of meat or ha in, however salt; the pieces of meat which come from the table- cm the plates; and the bones made by the family." 44 What a relief," adds she, 44 to the labouring husband, to have a warm, comfortable meal!"— The rind of a ham, for instance, after Mrs. R. had extracted the 44 Essence!" Aud again she goes on.*— 44 Did the cook really enter into this ( the love of her fellow creatures), she would never wash away as useless tlie peas, or groats, of which soup, or gruel, have been made ; — broken potatoes ;— the outer leaves of lettuce the • necks an^ feet of fowls, & c. ; 44 which make a deli- cious meat soup, especially for the sick."—( Sure, people would be falling sick, on purpose to eat i t * J The sick soup essay concluding with a farther direction to the cook, not to take the fat off the br$ th, 44 as the poor like it, and are nourished by it!" and with a calculation which, if we know anything of mathematics, might make Demoivre himself look to his laurels;— 44 Ten gallons of this soup," con eludes Mrs. R. 44 from ten houses, would be a hurt, dred gallons ; and that, divided among/ or^ families, would be two gallons and a half io each family." Tarn Marti quani Mercurio S And done with chalk upon a milk tally, ten to one else! Tarn Cocker quam Kitchener! And this lady is dead! It almost makes us waver in our faith!— Turn sour, ye casks of table beer, Ye steaks, forget to fry ; Why is it you are let stay here, And Mrs, Rundell die? But whims, ( if they happen to take hold at all,) take the strongest hold commonly upon strong under- standings. Count Rumford, though an ingenious man, had a touch of this bon chere a peu d'argent disease ;, aud his Essays afford some pleasant illustrations of the slashing style in which men construct theories, when the practice is to fall upon their neighbours. After exhausting himself upon the smoky chimnies of the world, the Count strips to the next of its n u i sa n ce s,— t h e b e gga rs. He was to feed the poor; ( encore the Poor !) and the point was, of course, how to feed them at the cheapest rate. 44 Water," then, he begins—( the cunning rogue !) 44 Water, I am inclined to suspect, acts a much more important part in nutrition, than has been generally supposed." This was a good actite hobby to start upon ; and, truly, his Countship, in the sequel, does outride all the field. First, he sets out an admirable table, at which he dines TWELVE HUNDRED persons, all expenses included, for the very reasonable cost of one pound fifteen shillings English. - But this ( which was three dinners for a penny) was nothing; and, in a trice, the Count, going on; with his reductions, brings down the meal for twelve hundred, to one pound seven shillings. And, here, he beats our Saver of Wealth ( the contractor at two pence a day) hollow; because, with his dinner found for a farthing, a man must be an example .. of debauchery— a mere rascal— to think of'getting through such a sum as two- pence a- day ; out of which, indeed, he might well put by a provision for himself and his wife, in old age; and fortunes for two or three of his younger children. The Count's running commentary upon these evo- lutions, too, is a chef d1 amvre in the art of reasoning. At one time, it seems, he dieted his flock, partly upon bread begged publicly by charity, and partly upon meat which was the remnant of the markets. Even out of evil the wise man shall bring good. The charity bread was found extremely dry aud hard; 44 but, therefore," says the Count, 44 we found it answer belter than any other; because it made mastication necessary, and so prolonged the enjoy- ment of eating." As for the meat, he soon finds that an article quite unnecessary, and actually omits it altogether in ihe people's soup, without the fact being discovered ! But the crowning feature of all, ( and there I leave Count Rumford,) is the experiment which he makes in eating ( to be quite certain) upon himself; arguing upon the nutritious and stomach- satisfying qualities ofa particular 44 cheap" dish, he puts the thing to issue-— thus: 44 I took my coffee and cream, with my dry toast,, one n) oruif) g" ( hour not g- iven) 44 at breakfast, and ate nothing between that and four o'clock. J then ate," [ the particular dish,] J believe, however, it was a three farthing one, 44 and found myself perfectly refreshed.'''' And so the Count finishes his disserta- tion upon food, by declaring the Chinese! to be the best cooks in the world. Now, I confess that ( at first sight) there would seem to he something accomplished here. No doubt, if our labourers would eat farthing dinners, and get rid of that villainous propensity which they have to beef- steaks, their 44 savings," and consequent acqui- sition of property, would be immense. But does the Count not perceive, and did it never strike his coad- jutors, that, if this system were acted upon, all the poor would become rich ? when they would he an incomparably greater nuisance than they are in their present condition, I grant the existing evil, but do not let us exchange it for a greater. The question is a difficult one, bin there he minds that can cope with if. Such a turmoil as to what the poor shall eat! I say, there are plenty of them— Jet them eaj one another. People must not he startled by the apparent no- velty of this plan ;— those who can swallow Count Rumford's dinners, may, 1 am sure,- swallow any thing. I have examined the scheme, whioh I pro pose, narrowly, and ( prejudice apart) can see no possible objection to it.

Let the public listen onlv to this suggestion, and they will find that it ends all difficulty at once. 1 gra; » t that there might be some who would he ravenous, at first, upon their new diet;* especially any who had been living upon Mrs. RundelPs soup; but that is an evil which would correct itself; because so admirably operative and perfect is the principle, the mouths woifld di- minish in exact proportion with the meat. Upon my system, ( and, I repeat, I can see no objection to it,) the poor might go on pleasantly, reducing their numbers at their leisure, until one individual only, in a state of necessity, should he left; and if it were worth while to go on to niceties, 1 could provide even for hiiu under my arrangement, by having him taught, to jump down his own throat, like the clown in 4i Harlequin Conjuror " Certain it is, we hear, on every side, that, if the poor go on increasing, they will soon eat up the rich ; and, surely, if any body i § to he eaten by them, it ought, in fairness, to be themselyes. And, moreover, as it is shrewdly suspected that too many of them are already eaten up with laziness, why, hang it, if they are to be eaten at all, let them he eaten to some purppse. * Compere Matthien,! think, makes this remark somewhere, in a general defence of cannibalism But my project does not go so far. ^ QXitnltXlVC. NOVEL FRAUD.— The sum of fifteen guineas was paid by Mr. J: Shaw, of Northampton, to the Treasurers of that Infirmary, being the estimated value of fifteen quarters of new bleached oats, fraudulently sold to him as old oats, at 28s. per quarter. It has, we understand, lately become a practice to kiln- dry and bleach with brimstone new corn, whieh has been damaged by wet in the field, or otherwise, and thus vend it as good old corn. By such deceptions having lately prevailed in our market, several individuals have sustained considerable injury. We trust that the laudable and determined conduct of Mr. Shaw will tend to arrest the progress of a practice so base and in- iquitous, and induce fraudulent dealers to con- sider not only the public disgrace but the penalties to which such conduct exposes them, which amounts to the crime 44 of obtaining money under false pre- tences "— Northampton Paper, COMPARISON Between the Advantages of - pvoducing Grain at Home, or purchasing it from Foreign Countries. BY TIIE RT. HON. SIR JOHN SINCLAIR, HART. A farmer, in order to pay the landlord bis rent, sells to a miller 50 quarters of wheat, at 60s. per quarter. The landlord, with the £ 150 he thus receives, pays his assessed and other taxes. The sum then goes into the Exchequer, and is paid to the fundholder. With this portion of his divi- dends he goes to his tailor, and purchases clothes for himself, and liveries for his servants. The tailor pays his workmen, who jay it out in pur- chasing bread and other articles of food, by which domestic agriculture, whence the whole originated, derives some benefit. On the other hand, a merchant purchases 50 quarters of wheat on the Continent, for which he pays 30s. per quarter. It costs him, say 10s. per quarter, to bring it over, and he makes 20s. per quarter profit. He seMs it to the miller for 60s. 1 should be glad to know what advantage the nation derives from this transaction, compared lo the other ? Out of the £ 150 received by the merchant, £ 75 is remitted to the foreign: grower, to fill the exchequer of a foreign country,, and to benefit the subjects ofa rival, and perhaps a hostile power; £ 25 is paid to the importing vessel, if it is brought home in a foreign ship, which is often the case, and only £ 50 remains as the circulating capital in this country. It is also to be consi dered, that the 50 quarters of British wheat is raised by British industry; that it employs not only the farmer and his labourers, but those who have been employed in fencing the land,— in pre- paring the instruments of husbandry,— in breeding the horses by which the land is cultivated,— in manufacturing the harness they require,-^- in mak- ing the shoes they use,—- and a variety of other ramifications. Hence, with a view to the em- ployment of the people, and the acquisition of wealth, it would be more for the national in- terest to pay 60s. per quarter for domestic icheat, than 3 0 » . for com of foreign growth. But we are told, that it is necessary to keep down the price of wheat by importation, in order to feed our manufacturers at a low rate, to enable them to sell their goods in foreign markets. The food of the workman is no object, where the manu- facture depends more upon machinery than upon manual labour. Ten shillings additional per quar- ter to the price of wheat does not make a difference of a farthing per yard in the price of cotton goods ; and the case is proportionally the same with regard to other articles. Besides, British manufacturers ought to consider the style in which foreign manu- facturers live; and if British farmers and labourers must live like Polish boors, why should not British manufacturers suffer a similar reduction, and undergo similar privations ? ^ Foreign Somatic* CONSPIRACY IN FRANCE.— A case is now before the Tribunals of France, in which several individuals, who formerly served in the French army, together with a law student, and othe persons, are charged as principals in a conspiracy - to overturn the French Government.— The offence took place at the latter end of the year 1822, and beginning of 1823, and had long previous, accord- ing to the indictment, been proceeding in connec- tion with the movements of various Revolutionists throughout France and in other countries.— The name of Mr. Bowring ( an Englishman, who was some time ago apprehended in France on suspicion of being concerned in plots against the stale, but who was subsequently liberated) appears very prominent in the indictment.— The names of Wil- son, Phillips, and Frederick, supposed to be Englishmen, are also quoted, as having been in connection or correspondence with the parties. The following " Notice" has appeared in the Dublin Gazette .— The Right Hon. Richard Viscount Powerscourt, deceased, did by his last will, bearing date the 8th day of October, 1822, give and bequeath unto the Rev. Charles Simeon, of Trin College, Cambridge, the Hon. and Rev. Edward WingfieJd, and Sergeant Lefroy, the sum of three thousand pounds, to be by them expended, as may seem best to them, in portions of one thousand pounds in each— namely, one thousand pounds for his poor countrymen in Ireland, for the purpose of supporting missionaries to preach the glad tidings of salvation to this benighted people — one thousand pounds for the same purpose in India— one thousand pounds for the poor Jilacks in, and arriving at and in, the island round Sierra Leone. He also desired that his executors might and should, at their discretion, spend in the ser vice of his Lord, Master, and Redeemer, a sum of two thousand pounds annually out of his estates, until his son Richard should attain the age of twenty- one years.-— And of said will, he appointed his brother the Honourable and Reverend Edward Wingfield, and Robert Earl of Roden, exccutors." Lord Erskine's Will, The last will and testament of the late Right Hon. Thomas Lord Erskine was registered in the Prerog* ative Court, in Doctor's Commons, ou the 2d instant; letters of administration of the same, and one codicil annexed, having- been committed to the Right Hon. David Montagu Lord Erskine, the son, one of the residuary legatees ; the late Hon. Frances Erskine, the wife, and sole executor appointed, having died in the testator's lifetime; The will is dated the 15th of November, 1782, and begins in nearly these words :— 4 Being, from a sense ot honour, and not from any motive of personal resentment or reveng- e, about to expose my life to great peril, it is a comfort to me that I have so few duties to fulfil previous to an event which may deprive me of every other opportunity for so doing-.' It then proceeds to enumerate certain sums, consti- tuting the amount of the testator's property, which is stated to have been all acquired since his practice at the bar, and to be £ 9000 consols, and £ 1000 more in bills. It. is all left, with the highest ex- pressions of confidence and affection, to his wife, for herself and children ; they to inherit it after her decease, in equal shares, as they attain 21 years of age. But he provided, as on account of her youth she might probably marry again, and as such an event, though by no means deprecated by him, mig- ht be incompatible with the interests of his children, that upon such second marriage the pro- perty should be transferred to his sister, Lady Anne Erskine, in trust for them as above- mentioned . A request is left to the testator's brother, the Earl of Buchan, that as his property was not suffi- cient to enable Mr. Erskine to educate his son David in a manner suitable to his birth, that he would make it such as they both derived from their father, improved by his own talents and experience. He only excepted from the property left as above, the ring and sleeve- buttons set with his wife's hair, in which he desired to be tyijried, as he usually wore them. The codicil is dated " Carlton Hotel, Pall- mall, Oct. 2, 1786," and was made only for the purpose of confirming- the contents ofthe will, his property since its execution having much accumulated, and for giving his children, since born, aud those he might in future have, an equal participation with the others in its provisions. From their remote date it is not to be wondered at that the papers are somewhat defaced and muti- lated ; and it will be considered remarkable, that such a lapse of time and change of circumstances should not have induced a man of legal attainments to have left a more recent declaration of his testa- mentary intentions. The personals ( as they stood at the time of his Lordship's death) were sworn under £ 1000. JJdnttific an 5 f^ ltsctUanmse* The CArculation of the Blood. So important a subject as the circulation of the blood cannot; fail of being interesting to our general readers ; we shall therefore lay before them a brief account of ft, divested of that complication which renders it only intelligible to anatomists. The heart, by the contraction of which the blood is circulated, has arising out of it two great blood- vessels, whose branches extend to all parts of the body, accompanying each other throughout; the one is the great artery, the aorta, and the other the great vein, or vena cava. The heart has also two other great vessels, arising from its other side, one called the great artery of the lungs, or pulmonary artery, the other the great vein of the lungs, or pulmonary vein. Let us therefore keep in view that the heart has four large trunks communicating with it, and that at the junction of each with the heart, there are placed valves, most beautifully perfect, which act in such a manner as to admit the tide of blood through its own proper channel, in passing and repassing the heart and lungs, and to immediately fly up and prevent its improper return, like flood- gates. Arteries are always accompanied by veins closely connected together— the arteries carrying the blood from the heart— the veins carrying it back to it An artery is elastic, and can contract and dilate— i vein is an inactive flaccid tube. An artery has no valve in its whole course to the extreuiitiesof the body — a vein has valves placed at very short distances. These valves are to support the upper column of blood as it ascends from below back tothe heart, flying up and acting as a floor to that portion of blood which is above it and between the next valve and itself: thus every motion of our limbs moves the blood in their veins, and that motion can be no other than upwards on account of those valves, while the motion of the blood in the arteries is directly from the contraction of the heart, and it has a free current to the extreme parts of tl^ e body. With this general view iu mind, let us proceed to describe the circula- tion. The blood is sent out at one gush, or pulsation, throughout the whole body, into the most minute branches of the arteries ; those arteries make a turn, and losing their elasticity, become veins, which grow large in proportion as they go towards the heart, and lie exactly in the course of their corresponding ar teries. Into these veins the blood is therefore forced after having supplied the various secretions of the body. Tins blood is thus brought back by the great vein, or vena cava, and at its junction with the left jugular and subclavian vein it receives by a little tube the white chyle or essence of the food brought by that tube from the stomach. The blood is then unfit for the arteries, and therefore is carried into one little cavity of the heart, and at one pulsation is driven by the pulmonary artery into the lungs, where, coining- in contact with the air through their membranes, it absorbs oxygen from air breathed, which changes its colour from dark to bright red. The blood thus prepared for supporting life is taken back by the pulmonary veins into the other side of the heart, which communicates with the aorta, and by one pulsation is sent to all parts of the body, returning again as before through the veins; and this course takes place at every pulsation of that great and beautiful machine— the heart.— Medical Adviser. A SCHOOL ATLAS.— That very accurate and beautiful work, Ostell's New General Atlas, has been lately re- engraved in a very superior style, on an enlarged scale; by which means many additional names of places have been introduced,, without crowding the maps, or affecting that distinctness for which this Atlas has been so conspicuous : it may therefore be recommended as one of the most complete works for Schools now published. This established favourite has been almost twenty years before the public ; and for nearly the whole of this time has been in constant use in the first Schools of the Empire. One cause of this well- earned celeb- rity is the constant attention paid to th « introduc- tion of every possible improvement, the plates being revised after the printing of every 250 copies, andali new discoveries and changes of territory duly noticed. The work contains 30 maps handsomely printed on royal quarto drawing paper; in which are included maps of Canaan or Judea, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire; $ nd though the maps are so much increased in size, and consequently in use- fulness, the price continues as before— viz. 18s.. with coloured outlines, or 21s. full coloured. URAL GOLD MINES.— Respecting these, the following- are new particulars from St. Petersburgh ; The mines on the east side of the mountains are far richer than those on the opposite side. The former extend from Verkhoturir to the sources of the river Ural. Those places, however, where the gold appears to be the most abundant, extend between the mines of Nijne- Tajilskoi and Kouph- loumhoi, to the length of 300 wersts ( 200 miles). The mines here begin almost at the surface, under the turf, and the earth that contains the gold is at I the depth of a few arsheens. The ore is obtained merely by washing, and the labour is so trifling, that in general little boys are employed in it. The metal appears in small grains, and sometimes in lumps weighing six marks. On an average it may be assumed, that 100 poods ( 36001 bs.) of earth yield 2j ounces of pure gold. „ A siugle land- owner, Mr. Jucowliff, on whose estates are the ricfiest mines yet discovered, will send this year 30 poods'( 1080lbs.) of gold to t he mint in Petershurgb. The other mines io the Ural mountains furnish altogether 130 poods. The gold seems to have been originally combined with greenstone, slaty chlorite, serpentine, grey iron earth, & c.; and tjiese substances being decomposed, have left the ore pure. The other mineralogical treasures of the mountains are said to be as multifarious as they are immense. Among them are adamantine spar, various metals, American and Indian precious stones, especially one of the lattery resembling the sapphire, to which has been given the name of Soimonit, in honour of the learned mineralogist Senator Soimonoff. NEW PATENTS.— J. Ranking, of New Bond- street, for the means of securing valuable property sent by coach, waggon, caravan, & c, from robbery — G. Hawkes, of Lucas- place, Commercial- road, for improvements in ship's anchors ; also for improve- ments on capstans.— W, Bundv, of Fulharn, for an anti- evaporating cooler, to facilitate and regulate the refrigerating of worts or wash in all seasons of the year.— T. F. Giuison, of Tiverton, for improve ments in, and additions to, machinery now in use for doubling and twisting cotton, silk, and other fibrous substances.— T. Gawan, of Fleet street, for improve- ments on trusses.— J. Day, of Barnstaple, for im- provements on percussion gun- locks.— J. Ward, of Grove- road, Mile- Eud- road, for improvements in the construction of locks and other fastenings.— Servill, of Brown's- hill, Gloucestershire, for ah im- provement for dressing of woollen or other cloths — R. Green, of Lisle- street, for improvements in con strucling gambadoes, or mud- boots,— R. Stain, of the Tower Brewery, London, for an improved con- struction of a blast furnace and apparatus, adapted to consume fuel in a more economical and useful manner.— J. Gil man, of Newgate street, London, and J. H. Wilson, of Manchester, for improvements iu the manufacture of hats and bonnets.— J Headicote, of Tiverton, far a machine for the manufacture of a platted substance, composed either of silk, cotton, or other thread or yarn.— T. Hopper, of Reading, for improvements in the manufacture of silk huts.— A, Deane, of Deptford, for an apparatus to be worn hy persons entering places filled with smoke or other vapour, for the purpose of extinguishing, or extri- cating persons from, fire.— J. Perkins, of Hill- street, London, and J. Martineaux, jun. of the City- Road for an improvement in the construction of the fur. uaees of steam- boilers and other vessels, hy which fuel is economised and the smoke consumed. ilrofctnnal anU ilUgccUaiwous ACCOMMOPATION BILLS.— Last week, a man named Huxley, late a watchman in Chester, and another man named Harrison, and his wife, who lately sold llieuiilk from two or three cows, in the same city, underwent an examination before the Magistrates of Chester, for negociatiug certain Bills of Exchange amongst the tradesmen of that city.— On their examination, several letters wer produced, from which it appeared Ihat a person calling himself Richard Coster, and stating hi; office for the " dispatch of business" to be at No, 4, Staining Lane, Cheapside, had furnished the parties with these precious bills, ready filled u and signed with various names, oil which he charged a famous profit, sending out with them full directions how his customers were to use them, and so forth.— When it is understood by the public that manufactories of " accommodation* paper" are thus carried on, the public ought entirely to discoinilenace Ihe uttering of such trash.— III the present case, the Magistrates staled that they considered Hnxley and the others who had been negociating the bills to be implicated as uttcrers of forged notes ; but as the parlies alleged that they had no intention to defraud, and under- took to repay the tradesmen who had been incau- tious enough to take these precious bills, the case was not pressed further at present. DARING ROBBERY DISCOVERED !— Several notorious characters have lately been committed to gaol ot Peterborough, for stealing cattle; amongst them, two men named G. I'ywelt and T. Simms, have been examined. Pyweli voluntarily confessed that be, Simms, aiid one Harris, were the three men who broke into and plundered the cottage uf Mr. John Tyers, on the night of the 20th of May, 1822, situate in the North Fen, near Peterborough, Mr. T ' vers, who is an elderly man, and his sister, were the only persons residing in the cottage, which was remote from other houses. He had saved about £ 200, which money appears to have been the object of the robbers. It was near mid- night when Mr. T. and his sister were alarmed by the thieves. He armed himself with a dung- fork, and for upwards of an hour prevented their entrance into the house, and by his courageous conduct would have mastered them, had they not adopted a plan to render his weapon ( the fork) ineffectual. One of the robbers procured a pole about eight feet in length, and struck Mr. T. with it on the breast repeatedly, until he fell on the floor. His sister was so terrified that she fainted. The robbers then en- tered, and beat Mr. T. in ihe most brutal manner, and left him in a slate of insensibility. In their search they discovered the box in which the pro- perty was kept, and carried it off, w ith the linen, weaiing apparel, See. On Ihe departure of the robbers, Mr. T.' s sister, finding her brother in a deplorable slate, and all their property carried aw ay by the robbers, ihe dread of a workhouse had sq much effcct on her mind, that, yielding to the impulse of the moment, she seized a razor, and terminated her existence by cutting her throat. Mr. T. on coming to his senses, finding himself reduced to beggary, and his sister lifeless, in a momentary aberration of his faculties, rushed to. the river and threw himself into it, but was hap- pily saved by a person w ho witnessed the attempt at sclf- destruclion. Pyweli gave a detail of the plan laid to commit the robbery, and of its execu- tion ; and said that Ban- is was ihe person who beat and ill- treated Mr. T. Ban- is has been apprehend- ed, and, with the olher two examined, and all committed. DARING BURGLARY.— On Sunday morning, between 4 and 5 o'clock, as the watchman was going his rounds in Grafton street, he perceived the street- door of the bouse of Mr. Holmes, M. P. for Bishop's Castle, wide open, and at the same time saw two suspicious- looking fellows lurking about. He gave the alarm lo Ike family, when it was found Ihat thieves had entered the house, by forcing the shutters and sash of one of the parlour windows, and had succeeded in carrying off con- siderable property, consisting of wearing apparel, a gold snuff- box value £ 50, a gun and gun- case, & c. all of which were ready packed up in the back parlour, to be taken with Mr. Holmes to Brighton Ihe next morning. VVe are sorry to say that the operative cotton, spinners in Renfrewshire have again given iheir employers serious cause of complaint. Their wages, for a considerable lime, have run from 25s. to 30s. a week ; but not satisfied with Ihese wages, Ihey have endeavoured to dictate to their employers, and conlroul ihem ill the choice of their servants, so that noire may be employed about Ihe works except such as are approvers of the combination. Determined lo enforce their extravagant designs, the association have hired and paid incendiaries and assassins, who have attempted to burn the works,, aud murder such as were obnoxious to the combination. Finding themselves no longer safe in their persons or properties, Ihe master cotlon- spiimers have come forward in a body, in aid of the police of the country - resolved to adopt efficient measures for the utter suppression of a system of crime, which is at once injurious to the interests of trade, dangerous for the public peace,, and degrading to the character of Ihe operatives. Some time since Ihe masters intimated that warning was no longer necessary for either party, and the cotton mills in Renfrewshire are now shut up, and Ihe proprietors are determined that they shall remain so till the existing combination among, the operative cotton- spinners be suppressed,— Glasgow Chronicle. On Wednesday morning, about four o'clock,, three men, with their faces and hands blacked, entered Ihe house of Mrs. . Whittingham, West Country Coffee- house, Parliament- street, by means of a rope ladder, Mrs, Whittingham, being alarmed, went down stairs, when she was imme- diately seized, knocked down, and very ill treated. A knife was held to her breast, with threats to dispatch her if she gave the alarm. They then forced her into the front parlour, where they rifled her pocket book, and took away £ 30. They had with them a dark lantern, and bad been regaling themselves for some time in the house. On going away, they turned back to carry off two bottles of spirits. They also took two hams with them, and made their escape before she could give any alarm, though there were three men sleeping in the bouse.— Liverpool Courier. Three children of Daniel Butler, of Broughton, just below the Bank Mill, Salford, were suffocated in their bed on the evening of Christmas Day. The bed rug, by some unaccounted for means, had taken fire, and there being no chimney in the children's room, and the door closed, the poor creatures had all perished by suffocation.— Man- chester Herald. MELANCHOLY CONFLAGRATION.- OnTuesday morning, the premises of Mr. Bennet, the George Inn, Ralclifl'e, were discovered by the watchman lo be on tire, and it was with the greatest difficulty Ihat Mis. Beniict aud four infant children were rescued from Iheir perilous situation. Mr. Bennet was dreadfully burned in his face and right arm ; Ihe latter, it is feared, must be amputated. Henry Demson, who was sleeping in the second floor, fell a victim to the raging element, it being impossible to render him any assistance. Air. Bennet was not insured, and bis loss is ^ timatcd at upwards of £ 700. CALAMITOUS FIRE,— On Tuesday, the 23il ult. about three o'clock in the morning, a fire took place in a cabin in Killarncy, Ireland, which has been more afflicting in its consequences than any which has occurred for several years ill that populous town. An industrious poor man, named Cotter, with his family, consisting of his wife, four child- ren, an aged father and mother, and servant girl, occupied a thatched cabin in the town; the old man's wife got up to procure liini a medicine, when she discovered the house in flames; and Ihe horrible situation of the parents and grandfather and grandmother at this awful moment, must have been terrible on hearing the scrcams of the three wretched children, to whom it was impossible to afford any relief from the devouring element. In this painful predicament, the old woman rushed into the flames, hoping that she might be able lo afford them some relief, hut her efforts were only calculated to add to the number of the sufferers, as almost on the instant, the loft fell in, and this world was closed for ever oil this heroic old woman, her three grand children, and the servant girl.
