Great Schools, is the most destructive thing that can be practised. Young people should take time to consider that every act of debauchery of this kind strikes deep at tlie root of the constitution, inevitably hastens many alarming diseases, and brings on all the infirmities of Ihe most languishing old age, and finally premature dissolution. DOCTOR SOLOMON's Cordial Balm of Gilead is recommended to those whose constitutions have htfpn impaired by such early imprudence, as well those whose nerves are affected by intense study, or the habits of fashionable life ; the too free use of ardent spirits, tea or coffee ; and to all persons who are enervated hy long residence in hot and unhealthy climates. Listlessness of Mind, impaired Strength and Appetite, Flatulence, Head- ache, Vertigo, and Dimness of Sight, are more or less observable in lh* m all. In these cases it will prove of the greatest efficacy, bracing the relaxed nerves, and strengthen ing and invigorating the constitution. Purchasers of this medicine should be sure to ask for DR. SOLOMONS CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD, and should look for the name engraved on the stamp, viz. " SAML. SOLOMON, LIVERPOOL," without which none is genuine.

The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscio- us rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object— public approbation. The test of experi ence is the guarantee of favor, and has established WARKBN'S BLACKING in ge lieral estimation ; of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknow ledgmetit of a host of servile imitators who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine- article, to the great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury jijf WAF.. E. EN, yvhose character and interest by thi$ iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes there- fore an indispensable duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of UNPRINCIELED VENDERS, who having no character to lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honor!

Dispatches from'Jamaica, of the date of Dec. 24, have been ^ received at the Colonial- Department, which j'totttai- n- intelligence of an insurrection having occurred in the parish ofrSt, Mary., The negroes, it is said, intended rising on Christinas day, to Biassat vo the whites and burn. the. estates, and the firkt act, which was to. be the signal to all the dis- affected, . was-- to be the firing of Port Maria; though, this has been happily prevented, and eight of the ring- leaders have been found guilty, and were expected to be executed ou the day the packet left Jamaica. It may be proper to slate, that the report in the city of a general insurrection, and of martial law being proclaimed throughout the island, is without foundation. The Governor of Jamaica has prorogued the Assembly to the 20th of January, after the . latter had agreed to certain resolutions founded upon the report of their Committee, appointed to consider the proceedings adopted by the House of Commons and his Majesty's Ministers, with respect tothe state of slavery in the West Indies. Both the re- port and resolutions are strong, though,, perhaps, under all the circumstances, hardly to be called intemperate. Letters have been received to- day from Demerara. to the 13th ult. The Colony continued in a state of great agitation, on account of the secrecy re- specting the Verdict upon Smith, the Missionary, and the delay necessarily occasioned by the whole proceedings being referred home by the Governor. It is still reported that he has been found guilty, but recommended to mercy. The Governor- Gen. Murray, it was expected, would leave the Colony in a short time, having been superseded in bis command. Letters dated the lOlh ult. have been received from Antigua, which state that the greatest tran- quillity prevailed in that quarter., aud that not the slightest apprehension was entertained that it would be disturbed. At a late hour this day, fcfae Journal des Debafs of Thursday, and the i& t. o'ile ' of yesterday,,'- were received. Ihe former positively disclaims any warlike views on the part of the French Govern- ment, and boasts that if France did feel a dis- position to equip fleets and send out armies, she would do so without asking the consent of any other power. Advices from Malta of the 20th of December state that the British squadron, consisting of six ships, was to sail from Tunis on the following morning. If his Highness fhe Bey, therefore, has refused to set at liberty the Greeks who were seized when under the protection of the British flag, an attack has probably before this been made upon his capital. Letters from Constantinople state that a com- plete change of Ministers has taken place there, including the famous Reis Effendi, who has not, however, been entirely disgraced, but obliged to change situations with $ adik Effendi, the late Minister of the Interior. The Grand Vizier, Ali Pacha, has been banished to Gallipoli, where he. awaits his fate. He is succeeded by Galib Effendi, who commanded the camp on the Bosphorus. He, as well as those appointed with him, is supposed to be of the moderate or European party. This measure is said to have been occasioned by the consternation into which the attack of the Greeks ou Smyrna, the second city of the Empire, had thrown the Turks, and the rage into which it put the Grand Seignior. Brussels papers, which have arrived in town to the 27th instant, state, that the Government of the Netherlands, after a careful investigation, has rejected the proposal for establishing limitations mi the exportation and importation of grain, and decided in favour of an entirely free trade. V- Letters from Pcrnambueo, dafed the 14th ult. were received yesterday, by way of Havre. Intel- ligence of the recent events at Ilio had arrived there, and had created great uneasiness. The remaining members of the Junta had resigned their situations, and a new election had taken place. Jose di Barros, who commanded the Per- nambuco contingent at Bahia, and who had recently arrived from thence, had been appointed Com- mander, in Chief of the troops in Pernambuco. In this province the inhabitants were waiting with much anxiety the arrival of 5he next dispatches from Rio, with the intention, as the letters state, of declaring against the Emperor, should he either attempt to assume despotic power, or to re unite the country with Portugal. The same sentiment was understood to exist iu all the northern pro-, vinccs of Brazil, Intelligence of a most, disastrous character, if il be true ( and its truth seems the more likely, because il reaches us through several channels but without material alteration), has been received from Para. This is the name of the most Northern Fiovince of Brazil, and the city stands on the mouth of the great River Tocantiu. A private letter, dated Para, Oct. 20, after stating that a rebellion had broken out among the natives, and been subdued, closes with Ihe dreadful tale of 252 human beings ( prisoners confined in the hold of a vessel) destroyed in the course of a single night, either by the bullets of the guard placed over them, or, as some relate, by the frenzy of mutual slaughter : — " About ten p. M. a loud discharge of musketry being heard, it vvas discovered that the prisoners, to the number of 256, on board a vessel in the harbour, had attempted to escape, and that the guard placed over them had, in consequence, fired upon them. On the hatches being opened early tiie next morning-, only four of the 256 were found alive ! ! As marks of violence, particularly stran- gulation, were found upon the dead bodies, it was • apposed they had destroyed each other in a state of insanity or desperation. Many were also found hanging" to the beams. This, most horrid catas- trophe has much inflamed the minds of the lower and ignorant order of the people ; and they are now more than ever incensed at the English, as they think,, because Capt. Grenfell is an English- man, that they ( the English) must be concerned in the affair. Indeed, reports very prejudicial to the English havci already been carried into the interior by runaway soldiers, which are, that we had taken possession of the city, that our flag flew ou the forts, and that bodies of armed seamen paraded the streets.' 1 In the Sheriff's Court, on Thursday, Capt, Lajng, a gentleman connected by birth with one of the most respectable families in Scotland, obtained a verdict of £ 2000 damages, against an attorney, named Delamere, for. crim, eon. with plai. nliff's wife. The seduction was effected whilst the plain- tiff was abroad, and the lady, is the mother of several children ! Defendant is a married man, and likewise the father of a family of children! POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Monday jYighl, Itb. 2, 1824. Ufjeec!]. The following, our readers may regard as an accurate outline of the Speech which will be delivered, to- morroiv by the Royal Commissioners,, and which was finally settled in the Council that was held on Saturday at Brighton. It will be seen, at once, how utterly unfounded were the statements which some of our contem- poraries, ( who pretended to know what was to be in the Speech before the Minis- ters themselves had determined upon its contents), put forth respecting the recog- nition of South American independence — a further diminution of taxes— some great financial operation, & c. & c. The Speech will commence by stating, that his MAJESTY continues to receive assurances of the most friendly disposition towards this Country from all Foreign Powers. The prospects of an amicable arrange ment of the differences between Russia and Turkey, in consequence of the suc- cessful and unremitting exertions of Lord Straiigford, are represented as of the most satisfactory kind. Upon the subject of the war between France and Spain, his MAJESTY wi! assure Parliament, that every day's ex perience has confirmed the wisdom of that course of neutrality which Minister: adopted, and which had beeu so cordially approved of by Parliament, His Majesty will next acquaint the Legislature, that Consuls have been sent out to South America for the purpose of protecting our trade in that quarter, and watching over our commercial interests but, with respect to any ulterior measures that it may be expedient to adopt, this country will take its own time for the arrangement of them. The course which liis M AJESTY'S Government has pursued, will be described as having been perfectly steady and consistent, observing, through- out a strict neutrality between the Mother Country and her Colonies. On the subject of the West Indies, the Speech will advert to the endeavours of his MAJESTY'S Government to carry into effect the measures recommended in the Address of the House of Commons, for the religious instruction and general ame- lioration of the Negroes; and it will par ticularly press upon Parliament the ne- cessity of great caution and moderation in discussing so delicate and important a subject as the present condition of our West India Colonies. The Speech will then notice, with great satisfaction, the flourishing state of the Revenue, the increasing activity in almost every branch of manufactures, the pro sperity of our trade, and the general improvement of agriculture, which last will be described as holding out the pro- spect of speed'ly resuming its permanent station among the great interests of the country. In adverting to Ireland, the symptoms of amendment in the internal condition of that country will be touched upon— a country which has so long been the object of his MAJESTY'S particular personal anxiety. Parliament and the nation will be con- gratulated upon the circumstance of our own internal repose and quiet, and the evident fact that every class of the com- munity is beginning to feel a confidence iu the stability of affairs generally. These, with the customary recom- mendation to the House of Commons to provide for the supplies of the year, the necessary estimates respecting which will be laid before them, will lie found to comprise all the topics of the Speech. His Majesty is fast recovering from bis late attack of gout; lie will not, however, be able to fulfil bis intention of opening Parliament in person to- morrow. Although the further remission of laxatiop will form no part of His Majesty's Speech, il is under- stood that some plans for effecting this object will be brought forward by Ministers in Ihe course of the Session.

The public papers, indeed, have spoken of their leaving Richmond with great funeral pomp, accompanied hv the carriages of several bishops, and of his friends amons the nobility ; but they really left it attended only by a few faithful do. mestics, and in that state arrived at the west door of Lichfield Cathedral on Saturday last, about One o'clock, where they were met by the Dean and ibe several Members of the Cathedral— the Chancellor, four of the Rcsidentiaries, and three other Clergy- men, bearing tbe pall.

The run from High Oiifi, on Friday week, by Sir Bellingham Graham's Hounds ( see 4 fh page,), was, perhaps, the finest ever witnessed even from that favourite wood. They immediately found fox, J serve me and In- oke cover in the first style. He vvas followed, ' ' ' with a good scent and fast running, through Walton Wood to Great and Little Chat well, and Beadon Hill to Woodcote ; then ran Ibe ring of the exten- sive covers of the Marquis of Stafford at Sheriff Hales and Dotmingtmi, and returned to Wnmleote ; a sechnil time skirted Sheriff Hales, but being closely pressed, quitted for Red Mill, through Mr. But find's covers', to Sbiffnal and Haughfou Hall, Wyke,. iiiitl Ueuib'erto:!, bark to Shiffnal Mano'iV- swaini life' mill pool, and, at a neighbour- ing plantation, poor' reyuard met bis end, after a chase of three hours and five iiiinutes of fast running and line hunting; in which the abilities ofthe owner and hiliilsmpi ofthe pack, and the steadiness of the dogs, were observed by many good sports- men, and' acknowledged to be seldom equalled. From Ihe. age, size, and stoutness of the fox, he was supposed to be I he. one lhat has, for so many years, been lord of Ihe wood, and successively beaten four former packs FOX- CHASE EXTRAORDINART.— On Thurs- day week, Mr. Horluck's bounds started a fox at Box Pits, which they ran through Collett's Bottom to the villiage of Corsham, where reymu/ d bein"- hard- pressed, took refuge on the thatel; of a blacksmith's shop, and grinned defiance at bis foes : one of the dogs beiug hoisted to his place of refuge, reynard boiled down the chimney into a bed- chamber, where be was taken, and afterwards afforded a good run for a considerable period, to the gratification of a numerous field of sportsmen. On Monday week, Colonel Smith's barriers bad an almost unprecedented run. They found a bare near Hales Owen, and after crossing Frankley Hills, they made for Northfield, leaving the church on the left. They then went in a direction for Hal- borne, but shortly turned to the right for King's Norton, which they left about a mile on the left, and. took tbe direction of yVcatbericU Hill, where they killed the hare, after a very severe run of an hour anil twenty minutes, without a check. The distance in a straight line from the place where the bare was found, to the place where il was killed, was more than eight miles, and a great part of the . country they crossed vvas very heavy. The hare was a remarkably small one, oq. six out of the field; " Half venturing-, half shrink- ing," I went a little way into the stream, and came back again, Seeing the hounds biting off their fox ou tlie other side, and being mounted on a mure called The, tis, which Sir WatUu had " lent me for the day, and, trusting to her genii to pre- serve me, I made a. second attempt, and; was carried down the stream, amongst some huge stones. Not being, at that time, able to swim, I gave myself up for lost; but the resolution of the mare, and my holding on by the mane, enabled her to regain the. opposite bank, and I have never tried such an aquatic excursion since.

Siuce tbe Division was made of tbe Hale's Owen District, the whole of the Inquests have been held ithiu 22 Miles of this Town, and which has been the Residence of the Coroner ( or within eight Miles ~ tbe Place) for upwards of 6.1 Years last past. If you appoint your Coroner at Bridgnorth, which, has ' ready got one for Ihe Liberties—( another being kewise appointed for the extensive Franchise of Wenlock, aud one also for Broseley) — then you will have Four Coroners within 8 Miles of each other, anil the Hundreds of Chin, Ptivslow, Chirbury, ord, and Munslow, will be in tbe Jurisdiction of the Bislnjp's Castle Coroner:. This would be attended with a great Expense to your County, as, out of the 75 Inquests held by Mr. WHITPOMBE during bis Coronership of 5 Years only, 7 have beeu held on the other Side of Bridg- north, and which were in the Parishes of'Etudg-' e, Claverley, and Morville. Mr, JONES informs you that, my Residence is upon the Confines of the County ; for which Reason I have come forward, and vvith what Success will be seen at the Day of Poll. It' he will look to Bough's Map qf tbe County, he will find where the other three reside. For what Purpose would it be to ppoint yoiji' Coroner in the Centre of your County, [- in a District where others are already exercising that Right within their Jurisdiction. I am sorry to see that Mr. JONSS, in his Address, makes so light of the Office foi which he is a Candidate. If he will, for one Moment, consider great Importance and serious Duries of the Office, he will find that, it is'. not attained with that Practical Knowledge which he nisv possess; but that the very Old Law Books ( of Waste Paper Value, as he says) are the grand and Guide. i Laws for a Coroner, and if he docs not know and under- stand thein, he must be very unfit for such an Office. It has not been iu my Power to personally can- vass the whole of the Freeholders throughout this County ; but 1 hope that those that I htjve not seen, will join Hand in Hand with those that I have ; and I assure the whole, that 1 shall feel myself highly honoured in their meeting lue at the Day of Poll"; until which Time, 1 have the Honour to remain, MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, Your very obedient humble Servant, S.

L that M ESSU AGE & PUBLIC A1 Benefits pf Hunting to Farmers and Tradesmen. The gentleman who, under the signature of " NlMKoiv," has contributed so many excellent articles to^ f he ' Sporting Magazine, says— No farmers, who know their qvvn interest, will ever discourage hunting, for, without it, their farms would he of little value to them. When I speak of there being two hundred hunters kept in Croydon aijd j! s vicinity, that number, provided it be correctj. isjtrifiing, when compared to the amount in sortie btlier huntiug Countries; and the consump- tion of hay^ wits, and beans, in one part of England, makes a regular impression on the markets in all others', however distant they may be. It is my firm belief, that, but for hunting, oats would not, at this ruoiiieiit, lie worth eighteen pence a bushel — a prifie t) t which 110 farmer could afford to grow them, even supposing him to have no rent to pay ; for it is nof onl v by hunters that oats are eaten, but it must be" fecolfected tliat by far the greater part of bounds live chiefly 011 oats. To the barley- grower, SI so, is hunting a good friend; for let him consider Ibe quantity of beer that is drunk by grooms at- tending horses—- which grooms would otherwise- more than one half of tliein at least— be obliged to be maintained by the farmers themselves out of the poor- rates, as it would be impossible to find work for them all." " ' I am convinced that lspid- owners, as well as ' farmers and labourers of every description, if they ' knew their own interest, would perceive, that 1 they owe much of their prosperity to those popu- ' lar Hunts, by tbe great influx of money that is * generally brought iuto the country.' " " As far as my experience has gone, I think farmers in general are aware, that hunting is a good :' ricu. d tn till in, Slid they should uot put lesser evils into th? scale against'greater benefits. It will be observed, I have said nothing of tbe hay consumed by hunters, nor of the advantage gained by breeding theiii. These are, however," two very material considerations. " With respect to trade, also, with which the prosperity of'the farmer is intimately connected, the benefit derived from hunting is incalculable; for, including saddlery, the, wear and tear of a sportsman, who bunts " three or four times a week, aud turns out like a gentleman, in his wardrobe and saddle- room, makes a great bole in one hundred pounds per annum." The present year bids fair to rival all former celebrity in the annals. qf racing. Not only are the nominations for the grand stakes at Newmarket, Epsom, and other places near London, unusually large, but at all country meetings a grand display of horses is exhibited. At Doncaster no less than eighty are named for the St. Leger, amongst which is the unprecedented number of six belonging to one Gentleman — Mr. J. Ferguson. It is reported, in the betting circles that Mr. F. took some long odds as to a certain number being named for this stake, which induced him to add a few of his own. Mr. Bowlettls coll, by Blacklock, out of Altisidora, is first favourite tit present, andSvviss sscond. Lord Darlington is said to be backing Swiss for both Dpi- bv and the Leger ; and be is backed at only 4 to 1 for the latter, provided lie wills the former, for which he is first favourite. He is also, second fa- vourite for the Leger. Reformer is first for the Riddleswqrth, and second for the Derby. Banshee is also thought much of for the latter great race. All the horses in the first class of the Oatlauds this year at Newmarket are three- year olds, at the head of which is Mr. Udney's Couut'd'Artois, at 7st. 101 b. We are sorry to hear that Barefoot met with an accident lately at Newmarket. He was just going- to take his gallop, when, in crossing some ruts, the boy strucl^ him, and he fell, and broke both his knees. With this one exception, the season has been unusually favourable to the race- horses. The heath has heen in the finest possible order for thei legs, and they have been doing- some good work. Indeed, report adds, that some trials have been, the consequence. In the country, also, much sport is looked for, as some of the best country horses are expected to meet in more places than one. At Preston, for tbe cup, are Figaro, Sherwood, Princess Royal, Sir Peter Lely, $ cc. Thirty- five horses are named for the Fitzwiliia'm Stakes, at York Spring Meetin Figaro first favourite, and Marcellus second. For the Knavesmire Stakes, at same place, Barefoot is handicapped, at 8st. 121 b.; Sherwood, 8st. 8lb.; TinkerSst. 61b.; General Mina, 8st. 81b.; Rosaline colt, 8st. 81b. The Jockey Club has also not been unmindful of other meetings. There are two great handicaps at Chester— Sherwood al the head of one ; and tbe Princess, aud the Doge of Venice, of tbe other.

MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, 3> E KM IT me again to intrude myself upon your Attention while I answer Mr Sontham's Address to you in the last Salopian Journal. Sufficient, has already been said as to the most eligible Situation for the Residence of tbe Coroner: upon that Point Mr. Sontliain and myself are nt Issue ; and by your kind Assistance I look forward with every " Confidence as to the Result of the Poll. I cannot, however, permit his Observation, that in my Address I appear to make light of the Office, to pass without Notice. I am not conscious of hav- ing uttered a single Expression froin which any such Inference can be drawn. That to qualify a Gentleman for the Office, of Coroner much deep Legal Research and Knowledge is not necessary, 1 am, with every Deference, justified in inferring, from the Fact that throughout the Kingdom the Coroners are usually selected from the Medical and not from the Legal Profession, and that the former, with the Assistance of Mr. Umfreville's and other Treatises on the Subject, are found to be fully equal to the Duties of the Office. Permit me again to solicit your Suffrage 011 Ihe Day of Election. Should I be tbe Object of your Choice, you may rely that I will execute tbe Office with Diligence and Integrity. I have to remain, MY LORDS, AND GENTI. ESJ^ N, Y'our obliged and verv humble Servant, ' G. JOi'BS, Surgeon, BRIDGNORTH, JAN. 19, 1824. Accidents by Water in Hunting. The write, r ahove quoted, in noticing the deaths, 1111 the ^ feiR. of December last, of three gentlemen ( two in Yorkshire - and one in Bedfordshire , by being drowned in attempting to cross swollen streams wheu 011 horseback and eager to keep with tbe hounds, says— " It is too true, tliat without danger there is 110 glory. Nevertheless, much as I may be an advo- cate': for iiVAli'mg every possible effort to get to hounds, yet we should not altogether despise tbe old saving clause— that, sometimes, discretion is the better part' of valour, for, to say nothing of the individual who loses his life, the heart- rendiii « - hewailings of those who have to lament the loss of it, in a paliMit, husband, brother, or son, are much too great'to he thus rashly hazarded for the mere gratification of a passion, however noble it may be when attended with such ( probable) fearfuleonse'. quenees." " Much, I repeat, as I admire the mnn who rides gallantly across a country, yet it is useless to attempt inijHissibilities ; and ' among these I have no hesitation in t'enernllij classing the getting across deep and rapid streams with a jjoi- se, perhaps, blown at the time, unless the rider lie not only an expert swimmer, but also, unless he be in tbe habit of swimming horses, auu swimming w ith his clothes 011 " The writer is of opinion that, in one of the nie lancboly instances above alluded lo, the free use of the horse's head being denied lo the animal was the cause of ihe fatal result, as the rider vvas au expert swimmer; and he thinks there is every reason to believe lhat, hud the unfortunate: ride, left thg horse to himself, holding on by Ibe mane, aud only directing the animal's course, vv hen neces- sary, by the suafHe- rrin, he would have borne him safe across the glreani On this point, h.- says— " I speak from practical observation on this subject. When at a wafering- pl^ ce iu Wales, I was in the habit of haying my horses swam 1,1 the sea, by a 111: 111 who was iu the'constant practice of swimming tlieni for a very trifling eonsideraiioij. He was himself a very expert. swimmer, and regu- larly attended the liafhiog- iiiachioes. From this man I learnt, that there were only three jbings to be observed in swininjing a horse— first,' to give him free use. of bis bead ; secondly, io bold 011 by the liiane ; and, lastly, taking ihe feet out of tbp stirrups, to leal) the body obliquely forward as much as possible, which w ij! cause the water to get under it and float it, and thereby dinjinjsh the weight of it oil the horse. It was the opinion of'| this person, that a horse would swim nearly as far with a man 011 his back, who was thus expert at the nianngeui'ent of. Iiiin, as be would without hiui. " There is a small arm of the sea, about a mile ie'e at high Water, which divides the northern and southern principalities of Wales, and over whichjs a. horse ferry. A Mr. Evans, a gentleman of soiriii property in that neighbourhood, was cross- ingjit, f|. fevy'yjors ago, as the title was running out with great rapidity, when his horse leaped over- born!, iSiW'Was carried out to sea, over the bar. Mr. E. never expected to see him again, but he recovered the shore between that" place and the village rtf Towyu, jR (\ Jeriqli. ethshire, after swim- ming more thai) two njiles. Another gentleuiaij swain a small Welsh galloway across this terry with perfect safety ; atid happening to be in the country at the - time, 1 saw him iu half all hour after be had done it. So much for the power of horses in vater 1 " When I was about eighteen vears of age, I had a narrow escape from being drowned, with Mr. Leche's hiunds. The bounds crossed the river Dee— naturally a very rapid river, but then in- creased by the rains. Sir Wat kin Williams Wyun, who ( as will as his ( wo brothers) is like a duck in the water, weut first, and was followed by about Fatal Accident,— OIL Saturday night se'nnight, about ten o'clock, James Lennan, of Shelton, clerk to Mr. Dillon, of Cobridge, and Sarah Radford, an iiiieresting and respectable young woman, about 18 years of age, were crossing the brick- field belonging to Mr. Kirkham, hack of Marsh- street, Shelton ; the road being very dirty, they turned aside into the field ; the darkuess of the night pre- vented their seeing a deep marl pit, which formed a tremendous precipice across their path. The whole depth is about twelve yards, but it is divided by a bench or shelf, which projects about six feet, at about the depth of four yards frnnj the surface of the fie| d. The girl fell first down to this shelf, and Lennan supposing that she was 011 the ground,/ stooped forward 10 raise her, and fe| l himself. It does not appear that they were greatly hurt by their first fall, and supposing that they were at the bottom of the pit, they walked over tbe edge of Ihe second precipice, and fell together. As soon as Lenuan could recover himself, he took her up in his arms; she requested to sit down, bill could scarcely speak, and breathed with difficulty. Lennan then endeavoured to find the way out of the pit, to procure assistance; the darkness rendered his attempt extremely perilous; at length, partly by Ihe aid of a ladder which had been let'!, he got out, and went to the nearest house for a light. Mr. VV. Walton, and Mr. VV. Scadon, descended the pit with a lantern, aii| l brought the unfortunate girl out; she was placed in a chair, and Mr. Maguire, surgeon, sent for, vyho immediately declared that her recovery was hopeless. Her head was severely bruised, and she was dreadfully swollen in the neck". She begged lo be put to bed, and expired a few- minutes after her arrival at her father's house. The distress of the parents may be better conceived than described. James Lennan was severely cut ant! bruised, but Ihe agonies of his mind seemed to render him insensible to his bodily hurt. 4LARMIN< J FIRE.—. Between twelve and one o'clock oil Friday morning, a fire, of the most alarming and destructive nature, broke out in the premises of Mr. Edward Bootle, skinner, of the Clap- gate, in Worcester. ' Flic fire, which com- menced ii> the eastern part of the building, is supposed to have been occasioned by some leather taking fire from tbe skinners' drying stove, and consuming the drying- bouse, attached itself to a vast range of wool- rooms, the upper part of which being only boards tarred over, caused the fire to rage with indescribable fury, and nearly the whole was burnt to the ground before any exertions could be made to retard its progress. Nothing could exceed the consternation which wqs evinced by Ihe poor families who occupied the dwellings iu the immediate neighbourhood of the fire; and every possible exertion was made to save their little property; some dastardly villains, however, we hear, stole several articles of furniture from a poor woman.— The loss of properly consisted of 86 packs of wool, 2000 of leather, ijnd about 2000 skins damaged, with all the utensils used in the skinning business, amounting altogether to between 5 and 600 pounds, no portion of which is insured, We hear, too, that no part of Ibe premises were insured, which are estimated at £ 400. TRAGICAL EVENT AT TAUNTON.- On Monday afternoon, Ibis town was Ihrovvn into a state of great consternation and horror, the hquse of R. Meade, Esq. an eminent solicitor, having become tbe scene of the most shocking events. It appears that Mr. Meade's servant- man, named Norman who hail lived w ith him 14 years, and was about • 36 years of age, bad suddenly destroyed himself by cutting his throat, after having, in the most barbarous manner, attempted the murder of Franc Totalling, a female in the same family, ( lo whom he paid his addresses four or live years, and with whom he vvas shortly to have been mariicd,) by beating bet- bead inhumanly with a hammer ! On the unfortunate girl screaming out for assistance, Mrs. Warren, the mother of Mrs. Meade, ran lo her assistance, upon which Ihe wretch struck Mrs. Warren with the hammer so severely, that both her life, and lhat of tbe young woman lo whose aid she had flown, arc in a lamentably doubtful state! It was evidently not the intention of Ihe deceased to assassinate Mrs. W. but the lady being tbe Srst who presented herself to the aid of'the unfortunate servant girl, Mrs, Warren became the object of bis indiscriminating violence. He vvas of a penurious and avaricious turn of mind, and had saved several hundred pounds in bis service, the greater part of which will go to the first victim of his fury, if she recovers, having some time since made a will in her favour. It is with great satisfaction we add, that favourable indications have presented themselves both as to Mrs. Warren and the maid servant, but the situation of either is by no means exempt from danger.— An inquest vvas held oil the body of Joseph Norman, when the Jury returned a vifdict of Insanity. HUNT.— 4.11 order was sent 011 Monday evening, from. tbe Hmpe Department, to Hertford" Gaol, for the removal of Hunt- forthwith lo the Juslitia hulk, at Woolwich, preparatory to iiis transportation fo,- life to New South Wales, 011 board a convict ship, which will sail, about six weeks hence, from the river for that destination. We arc informed by a very respectable pro- fessional gentleman who saw Ibe confession of Hunt, 9 ( which lis had written in expectation of being executed at the same time with Thnrtell,) in which be positively states that six living persons were doomed to destruction by him and his infamous associales in crime.— The names of four gentlemen who have escaped Ihe murderous fury of the abominable assassins are, Mr, Bather Beau- mont, Mr. Alderman Sprinfield, Mr. Holding,, and Mr. Woods: there were also two others. One of their plans was lo shoot their victim with au air- gun, and then placea pistol, ( previously fired off,) in his hand, to induce a belief that he bad com- mitted suicide.— Almost every word in Hunt's confession was mis- spelt, and in every instance be wrote i for I.— Huth Herald. SINGULAR TRJOK BY SMUGGLERS,-— The following curious, and, we presume, unprecedented circumstance, has given rise lo much conversation in this neighbourhood :— A few days ago, there was observed passing leisurely, for some miles on flie road from the coast,, and, at length, in broad day, through this much frequented and populous town, waggon ostensibly loaded with household furni- ture, indicating ( lie removal of a family, at this unusual season of Ihe year. Amongst this furni- ture there sat a woman, in apparent dejection, as if bemoaning her departure from soitie long- loved home, who looked wistfully at an infant thai re- posed in her arms. It has since been ascertained, that the body of this waggon was completely slowed with tubs of smuggled gin! Huston Gazette. On Saturday a 111( 111, who had been committed for Stealing wheat at Warminster, effected his escape while on Ins way to Fisherton gaol. The two constables were rather economical, ant) having hired a horse between them, they agreed lo " rid* and tie." When arrived at Burden's Ball, the prisoner refused to walk, and, complaining of being tired, it was agreed that he should mount the horse and ride the three remaining miles. He had no sooner mounted the horse than be set off at full gallop, and has never since been heard of. No prejudice can be stronger than that of ihe French against plum- pudding. A Frenchman will dress likean Englishman, swear like an Englishman, and get drunk like ait Englishman ; but if you would offend him for ever, compel him fo eat plum pudding. A few ot the lending Restaura- teurs, wishing 10 appear extraordinary, have plomt, flooding upon their cartes; but iu 110 instance is it ever oidt- red by a Frenchman.

Piivate letters have been received from the African travel- lers, Dr. Oudney, Lieut. Clapperton, and Major Denhani, so late as Ihe middle of July last, from Bornuu, where they still remained under the pro- tection of ibe Sheik, waiting their further pro- ceeding lo the Eastward until the rainy season should have ceased. In Ibe mean time they have not been idle, having traced back the stream of the Niger from the great lakeofTsad, into which it fall?, full 200 miles to the westward, and within 100 miles of the lake Nyffe, iuto which HomemaniV bad traced its course. Its name, it seems, be- tween the lake Nyffe and Hie great lake Tsad, is Yaou, and on its banks are many pleasing villages aud several large cities i' 11 ruins, particularly lhat of Old Birnie, which is stated to be nine miles in circumference and the houses mostly of brick. It was pillaged and laid waste by the Felatas, a most powerful tribe of blacks of Soudan, about fifteen years ago, when those large cities of Kouka, Eugonioo, and Birnie, near the Great Lake, were founded by the present Sheik of Bornuu.

It is such as to excite some uneasiness at the Court of the Tuitleries, and a very energetic emonstrance has been presented by the French Ambassador at Madrid to the Spanish Government.. From this state of inquietude and alarm we are happy to perceive one beneficial result, namely, Ihat all thoughts of attempting to reconquer South America are abandoned.. The French troops in Spain find their situation very uncomfortable ; feuds are perpetually arising between them and the Spaniards; and accounts from Pampeluua, of the Slh ultimo, state,, that ihe French soldiers- who are in garrison there are obliged to be ctin- itio ally on Iheir guard, since, within a few days, number of military had been assassinated by tile Spaniards-.

New York Papers stale, that the people of* the United States are beginning to shew the deepest sym- pathy, for the Greeks. Meetings had been held in their favour in several of the States ; subscriptions had been raised; and the Greek Committee of New York had put forth an eloquent address in behalf of this heroic people. .

By the 129th section of the new Turnpike Act, a penalty of £ 5 is imposed upon the owner of any « < waggon, wain, or cart," & c. on which the name of the owner thereof is not affixed ; provided either of such vehicles be used on a Turnpike Road. It may uot be improper lo caution Farmers and others against' an omission of this description, as Informers are now infesting this neighbourhood, and several convictions hare taken place. Many persons neglect having their names painted on some vehicles, whieh are uniformly employed in husbandry, conceiving that ihey will not be used on Ihe King's highway : but, surely, when Ihe possibility of injury exists, prudence should be called into exercise. The moment, for instance, that a Tumbrel, which is applied to the most common agricultural purposes, appears on a Turn, pike Road ( uot having the name of its owner properly affixed thereto), such owner becomes liable lo the penalty. The Statute prescribes Ihat both Ihe christian and surname, together with the name of the place of abode of the owner of - every Cart, & c. be painted thereon, in a " straight line," iu a conspicuous place, and in " large, legible letters, not less than half au inch in height." " A word to the wise."— Will the Farmer prudently employ the fainter ; or will he continue at the mercy of that fearful offspring of penal Statutes— the public Informer? January 29tli, 1824. B. *** The words of the Act are, that the owner or owners of every Curt, & c. " shall paint or cause lo be pain led, on some conspicuous part thereof, " the place of his, her, or their abode."— Imagine this injunction literally followed— fancy the Carts and Waggons of our agricultural neighbours pool- ing into our streets on market and fair days, with the owners' respective residences, from the pencils of our country sigu- painlers, glowing at their head". How singularly imposing ! What a study for our eminent Shrewsbury artists !— Fortunate, however, it is, thut the words " in large, legible letters," follow syon after. Had such not been the case, John Doe and Richard Roe could alone have told what ibe Lawyers would have made of it' five weeks before relief appeared— the stone then dissolved, and gradually discharged, and in about six weeks more the cure was perfected. The late - Rev. Christopher Hunter, Rector of Gayton, when labouring under the aboye affliction, was most strongly importuned to make trial i, f the above simple, yet effectual remedy, which he declined, and availed himself of the opportunity of consult ing DiyBonuc, who informed him it was a surgical case, advising hint to consult Dr Cliue, or Sir Ast'iey Cooper,- for which purpose lie went to London, aud received the opinion, of the former, who objected to any operation being made, but advised his taking ihe fibres of leek roots, prepared as the receipt above cited. The RifjiS. Mr, H. observed that he had been advised to, fry t| ie. sanie expedient by a friend in the country a ffsn mouths previous, when Dr. C. replied, it was impossible to do any thing more effectual for relief. The Rev. Mr. H. returned to the country, and mude trial of the receipt with that success as to express his regret he hud not embiaced ail earlier opportunity, as the relief he then derived convinced him it would have been of infinite benefit. HEOCK AUCTIONS. Important to the Public. AGRI- CUXITURE. Oil Saturday forenoon, the remains of Mr. Gascoyne were removed from his house in Great Stanhope street, with great funeral pomp, for interment in the family vault, at Barking, in Essex. The body was conveyed in a hearse, with six horses, followed by three mourning coaches, wilh six horses each. The whole richly caparisoned with black velvet covering, plumes of fealhers, family escutcheons, & c. and preceded hy twelve men on horseback, and followed by sixteen private carriages, among which were those ofthe Marquis of Salisbury, wilh a set, the Marchioness Dowager of Salisbury, Ihe Duke ( if Wellington, Countess of Essex, Lord St. Helen's, Lady de Clifford, the Honourable Mr. Arthur Stanhope, & c. The Marquis of Salisbury, and Colonel Qascoyile, brother to Mr. Gascoyne, were the chief mourners. Mr. Gascoyne, it is said died worlh a hundred and fifty thousand pounds in funded property and ready money, exclusive of bis estated properly. The quantity of gold removed from his house, in Great Stanhope- street, since bis dealh, is said to be immense. Mr. Gascoyne about 25 years ago married Miss Price, the accomplished daughter of Charles Price, one of the most distinguished economists of those times, with a fortune of £ 20,000. About two years since Miss Gascoyne, by giving her hand to Lord Cranborne, has eventually become Mar. chioness of Salisbury. The late Mr, Marryatt, it is said, has left his widow £ 4,000 per annum, together with the house and furniture al Wimbledon ; lo each of his seven sons £ 31,000; and to each of his three daughters £ 12,000. The business of Marryatt and Son is left to be conducted by his first and third sons. ^ porting* Sir Bellingham Graham's Hounds had, on the 23d ult. a famous run from High Onn Wood Staffordshire, into Shropshire. They found im. mediately, and went oft' with high scent, and at best pace for 45 minutes without a check, when some men hallooed the fox near Woodcote; they then went off to'the Rough Park, through Sheriff- hales Woods, hack t<> Woodeoic, and from thence to Chethill, Heath Hill, Old Park, Priors Lee. Morton's Plantations, and across the Shrewsbury road towards Peter's Finger; then again to Inning Paper Mills, where he was viewed, and run into on Brims tree Hill, after a chase of 3 hours and " minutes. C it F. O I T o N , ( DEVON) J A N . 24.— We have had one of the most novel and extraordinary hunts this day I ever witnessed. J. Yard, Esq. came down with his hounds, about 5 a. m.; our object was a hare hunt, hut on arriving at Rwfon, the. seat of Tremlett, Esq. about a mile from this place, vve per- ceived sitting on the bank of the Canal a very large female otter, and having two good terriers, we went after her. She immediately plunged iu! o the water, by which we could trace her some distance. We twice sent in the hound, to no effect, but, on heating a little further ou towards Downes, the male otter was put out from a bank by the terriers: one of the most terrific fights disused, in which one of the hounds hud both his logs broken, or rather bit in two, in following ihe otier underwater; however, after the spilling of so much blood, the dogs succeeded in hrinoing out the otter, the life of which was scarcely extinct," when one of the terriers drove the former one from under an allar bush. She kept underwater, and fought the dogs— a most extraordinary contest— the water over the spot was absolutely discoloured with the purple gore that had escaped from the wounds of many of the dogs; the leading hound was torn dreadfully, and after a successive fight for Scientific ana ittisccilartcoua. THE CASE OF C. A. DEMPSTER.— This un fortunate man died at Middlevvich, on Friday, the 14th ult. The public will recollect that, in attempt- ing some juggling tricks at Carlisle, he swallowed a table- knife rather more than nine inches long, which remained in his stomach without exciting any very acute pain or producing* anv serious coh- sequendes until within a few days of his death. He left Carlisle with tlie intention of proceeding to London, where his mother resides, for the purpose of'cdnsulthig Sir Astley Cooper. During the jour- ney to Manchester he suffered much acute pain from the jolting of the cOaCh ; when, finding himself unable to bear the motion of the carriage, he em- barked in a canal boat, but being* taken very ill in the boat, he was prevented pursuing his journey further'than Middlewich. This ease having excited considerable interest in the public mind, as also in that bf the profession, it may be • proper to observe that the body was opened tlie day after his death, aud the knife found in the stomach, which, with the other of the viscera, was in a state of inflam- mation and gangrene. The handle of the knife ( which was of bone) was dissolved, as likewise a considerable portion ofthe blade; so powerfully indeed had the knife heen acted upon by the juices of the stomach, as to impress very forcibly on the minds of the medical men who opened the body, a belief that had the man continued at Carlisle, and been kept in a quiet state, the whole of the knife might have been dissolved, and th, e case terminated favourably. TRINITY CIIAPEL, SALFORD.—.- The eastern dial of the clock of this chapel is now brilliantly illuminated with gas, by means of which the hour may be distinguised by persons at the distance of the old bridge.

A certain Cure for the Stone or Gravel.— Take a large handful of the fibres of garden leeks; put thereto two quarts of soft water, let them be closely covered, and simmered geutly over the fire till reduced to one, then pour it off, and drink a pint in the course of the day, taken in equal. pro- portions, morning,, noon, and night, This is a sufficient quantity for man or woman.-— The follow- ing is a letter from J. C. C. 66, Mark lane, London, dated May 29, 1790:— A son of mine, now in his 7th year, was born with a stone in his bladder, at- tended with all the symptoms of that dreadful dis- order. In vain were the most eminent of the faculty and, the most estimable solvents tried. In this hopeless situation a friend recommended the above remedy, which was strictly adhered to for The nntiquiiy of this art is- undoubtedly beyond that of all others. From, the earliest accounts of the eastern nations*,, we have reason to think, that agriculture had been understood by them in consi- derable perfection ; seeing they werealwayssnpplied not only with the necessaries, bus the greatest luxuries of life. As soon as the descendants of Abraham were settled in Palestine, they became husbandmen, from the chiefs of the tribe of Judah to the lowest branch of tlie tribe of Benjamin.. High birth or rank did not at that time make any distinction ; for rigri- cnlture was considered as the most honourable of employments. The Chaldeans, who inhabited the cou- ntry where agriculture had its birth, carried that valuable art to a degree of perfection, unknown in former - times. They cultivated their lands with great assiduity,, and seem to have found out some means of restoring fertility to an exhausted soil, having plentiful harvests iu succession ; on which account they were uot obliged, as their predecessors had been, to change their situation, in Order to obtain a sufficiency for themselves and their numerous flocks and herds. The Egyptians, who, from the natural fertility of their country by the overflowing of the Nile, raised vast quantities of corn, ascribed the invention of the t of agriculture to Osiris. They also regarded Isis, their second deity, as the discoverer of the use of wheat and barley, which before grew wild in the fields. It is also related of the ancient Persians,'. that'their Kings laid aside their grandeur every month to eat with husbandmen. This is a striking- instance of the estimation in which they held Sgriculturev; for at that time other arts were practised atnolig that people in great perfection, particularly' tHose of weaving, needle work, and embroidery. The pre- cepts of the religion taught by their ancient magi,* or priests, included the practice of agricolhire. The Phoenicians, better known in Scripture by the une of Philistines, were remarkable Tor their at te niioik to,, a nd sk i I I t n » La gricul t Ore; ' hht find i ng themselves too much disturbed and con^ nedbythe incursions and conquests of the Israelites, they spread themselves through the greater part of th. e Med'ter- ra nea. u Ma nds, a nd ca r r, ie< l - Nv it h them know- ledge i.' n the hrt iof^ ultivatM)!!.,' The Athenians taught the use of Corn to, the rest of the Greeks. They, also instructed them to cultivate the ground, and to prepare it for the reception. of the seed. The Greeks soon perceived that ^. read was more wholesome, and its taste more del mate, than that of acorns and the wild roots of the field. Hesiod was the first we know of among the Greeks win/ wrote on this interesting subject. He lived about 900 years before the birth of Christ. The ancient Romans esteemed agriculture so honourable ail employment, that the most distill guished * eriators, at their leisure intervals, applied themselves to the cultivation of the soil. Niihia Pom pill lis, one of their first Kings, was much distinguished for his skill ihagriculture ; and such was the amiable simplicity of those times, thartheir greatest warriors and* legislators were often called from the active labours of the field to the highest offices in the state. Regains, the celebrated Roman General, when in Africa, requested of the senate to bv recalled, lest his farm might suffer for want of proper cultivation in his nbsei) ce; ; an'd tlie senate wrote to him for answer, that it shoiild be taken care of at the public expense while he continued to lead tlie armies. Cato the censor, Varro, Tirgil, Columella, and other distinguished Romans, wrote on the subject of agriculture. In China, a day is still a him ally appointed, when the Emperor goes in solemn procession to a field, where he shews his sense of the inestimable benefits of agricnltuie, by undertaking, for a short time, the labormus occupation of directing the plough in person. Previous to the establishment of the Romans in this country,^' the cultivation of the soil was hut little understood in- Britain. By their assistance, however, it experienced considerable improvement, inspmtich that the Britons were enabled annually to export large quantities of grain. Subsequent to this period, it has been continually advancing in its, progress, and has now attained a high degree of fperfectioii. Societies have of late years beep fonned . for the purpose of en eon. rag jug this and other useful arts ; and a plan has been proposed for iutro( luci » |. g1 the study of agriculture into our schools, and making it a necessary part of national education. , . ,.,- . .. In the. year 1^ 56, a period of dlfficwMV, . ai^. ( lis tress, France began to pay particular attehtmii to this important subject. Prize questions were annu- ally proposed by the academies of LyOn^' Botifdeaux, and hy the society instituted fot the im| irovement of agriculture in Brittany. About this time, also, it was greatly encouraged in Russia, Pruss1^ V" Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Italy ; in the last mentioned country, a private . gentleman, about ' fifi a go, left his whole fortune, lb the establi^ uu^ eiit and support of an agricultural academy. Tlie Dutch seem to be the only nation in Europe, bf Which rural economy is treated with apparent he gleet, for, « ifh the single exception of draining theirfens and morasses, they have scarcely deemed it an object worthy of public support. Whether we Consider agriculture as u means of procuring as well the necessaries as luxuries of life; of providing a security against the aggregated calamities of scarcity, famine, aud disease; or of engaging the I'nind in active and extensive pursuits of general knowledge, it is one of the niost useful and important of all the arts/ which have employed the attention of mankind. Its theory is, in a great measure, dependent on several branches of science, Such as natural history, chemistry, experimental philosophy, and mechanics, all of which may be successfully applied to its ad vanceinent;'' and without a competent knowledge of. these, it eaivfi^ t- ibe pro- perly understood. Its practical part, however, may be carried on, independently of scientific ex peri ments. No person, therefore, need be deterred from attempting any improvements, because be is not conversant with tlie more abstract parts of physical knowledge. The flourishing state of our manufactures is greatly dependent on that, of our agriculture; because the price of those commodities obtained by labour, is not. onlv closely connected with that of the necessaries of life, but some of the most considerable articles of manufactures are originally supplied by agricultural productions, such as wool, flax, hetnp, rape- seed, tallow, & c. The successful advancement" of the rural art depends upon two circumstances ; the. one, its im- provement by discovery or invehtion ; the other, a more extensive practice of such improvements, when fully demonstrated. The former is effected, by the contrivance of more perfect niachines nndTmpTeiuenls 0 f h u s ha n d r y, w hich faci I i ta t e t he progress bf I a bou r; the introduction of new articles of profitable culture, and the most advantageous method of treating those which have already been cultivated, though in a defective manner. The latter, namely, ilie. practice, relates not only to future improvements, likewise to those which, though generally known,' haveJjeen either wholly neglected, or adopted in parti- cular places. Various plans have lately heen devised for the purpose of encouraging agriculture; such as the inelostire of waste lands, the draining of fens and morasses, the construction of inland canals, & c, To conclude; agricultural pursuits will always constitute one of the principal employments of the hulk of mankind ; it is, therefore, as well the interest, as the duty, of the higher classes, to contribute every comfort in their power, towards alleviating the burthens inseparable from the lot of the husbandman For, so long as that valuable body of the people, who cultivate the soil, were duly stimulated to habits of industry, and encouraged in the practice of domestic virtues, we find no example in the pag^ s of ancient or modern history, that such a nation eVer suffered a general calamity. A Commission of Inquiry^ appointed in con- formity with the local Act of Parliament, was held on Thursday se'nnight, at the Blackfriars Inn,, Manchester, in order to ascertain what compensa tion should be made to Mr. Edward Normansell, an auctioneer, aud occupier of the shop, No. 12, in. Market- street, Manchester^ for injury alleged by him to have been sustained by the removal of his business, in consequence of the execution of the powers of the Act for improving Market- street, so far as regards his premises.— The Assessor ap- pointed was Walter William Fell, Esq. Barrister. — John Williams, Esq. M. P. was engaged as Counsel for the Commissioners under the Act, and Thomas Colt man, Esq. for Mr. NormansellA most respectable Jury was sworn, and the Inquiry commenced soon after eleven in the morning.— The circumstances ofthe case had excited great interest; and the room was crowded during the whole of the proceedings, which, as they disclose facts of great public importance, vve shall lay before our readers iu detail:— Mr. COLTMAN opened his case by observing, that the Jury he had the honour of addressing were as- sembled, by virtue of an Act of Parliament, for the purpose of awarding such compensation- as they should consider Mr. Normansell was entitled to for the loss and injury he had sustained by i- emoving from the premises he had held for the last four years in Market- street.-^- The Actof Parliament authorized the Jury to ascertain what damage had been, sus- tained, and to determine upon the compensation for "• pod- will and loss of trade, from the average profits f Mr. Normansell's business, as well as- for the reasonable expenses of removal ; & ucih compensation not to be less than the profit of three calendar months, nor to exceed four years' profits, calculated on the average, profits of his trade or business for the two years immediately preceding the present. Such was he express direction of the Act of Parliament.— The learned Counsel then proceeded to state,; that Mr Normansell carried ou the business of an nuctionee n Manchester; and the first inquiry the Jury would have to make was, the amount of profit on his trade during the year 1822- 3..— Mr. Normansell was a licensed auctioneer, and employed two or three assistants, who acted under him as auctioneers, and were also licensed. The trade his client carried on was for ready money only, arid consequently,, from this circumstance, books were not kept as in. a business in which much credit was gi ven. On this account great difficulty had been felt to ascertain minutely the extent of profits in Mr. Normanseir's business. The Jury would be aware that a duty was ' paid to Government on all articles sold by auction ; and the auctioneer, in consequence of this, was obliged to keep an account of all goods sold' by hi- ui, with other transactions, in a book to be inspected at the Excise- office ; but this book, after the inspection had taken place, was considered to be of no use, and was generally thrown aside as waste paper. A large number, however, of these books,, had been acci- dentally preserved,. and from them he ( Mr. Coltnian) should he able to proven variety of sales by auction of Mr. Normausell's property that had taken place in his shop in Market- street.— The learned Counsel then proceeded to state, from documents. prepared for the purpose* the profits said to have been realized by Mr. Normansell in his shop in IWarket- street in J822- 3. •—• From the 1st of January 1822, to the 5th of March,, his sales amounted to £ 354. 16s. 7d. ; on which he realized a profit of £ 118. 15s. 4d. From June to December of the same year, his profits were propor. tjouably great.— In the two years already mentioned, the sales he had made amounted to £ 3099. 3s. 7d.; on which sum the gross profits were £ 1405. lis. 7d From this sum were to be deducted the expenses at- tendant on the shop : these'amounted to £ 494, duri ng the two years.— In addition to the sales by auction, on which, alone, the above profits were made, there were various sales by private contract, which, at a reasonable calculation, amounted to £ 312 in that period ; on which ' Mr. Normansell's profit was charged i> t the rate of 25 per cent. This would give to the credit of the shop, for the two years, after deducting all expenses, the sum of £ 1067 as profit. — This sum was independent of the amounts of sales which could not now be stated, awing to the loss of several books. THE profits of the shop, taking them upon a low scale^ might, therefore, be safely stated at £ 600 a- year.— In addition to the loss already mentioned which Mr. Normansell would sustain by remoying. from his premises, there would be a con- siderable One experienced by the sale of his fixtures. These had been valued by a competent person, and they Were stated to be worth, as they stood, the sum of £ 42; hiit if taken down, they would not fetch more thaui £ 18. 14s. There were also in the shop a gas apparatus and a stove, the , value of which had been estimated, as they stood, at £ 15. In the bar removal of the fixtures, therefore, it would be seen that Mr. Normansell would sustain a loss of £ 23. 6s besides that which would result from the gas ap paratns, & c.— With these profits, of which Mr Normansell was about to be deprived, and With the losses he ( the learned Counsel) had enumerated, the Commissioners of the Market- street Improvement | Act had thought properdin their great generosity, to offer Mr. Normansell, as a compensation for the loss which would be sustained by him in all these various ways, the enormous sum of £ 110. This, certainly, was a startling statement; and on what grounds they had made the offer he had named he was at a loss to discover.— He ( Mr. Coltman) did not wish to- keep anything back that ought to be brought before the Jury. He should therefore mention, that the sheet- anchor by w hich the Commissioners intended to sup- port their case . was., he understood, the failure of his client. He ( the learned Counsel) would readily admit that Mr. Normansell had recently entered into a composition with liis creditors to the amount of 6s. 8d. ill the pound ; but that circumstance did not disprove the statement made of his profits in Market- street, His failure arose from losses iu another branch of his business, lie had entered upon an ex- tensive shop, in which he employed from twelve to fourteen men, as cabinet- makers ; and it would be proved, that this speculation liad completely failed, he having sustained a loss of several hundred pounds by it. It could not be matter of surprise that one business should be lucrative, while another, in which the same person was engaged, should not be bene- ficial. Mr. Norma'nsell was not the only person who had, when getting money by his business, endeavour- ed, but Unsuccessfully, and at great disadvantage, to get more. There was a well- known adage on this point. But had Mr. Normansell directed his atten- tion to the auction business alone, there is every probability that he would not have experienced any reverses, hilt have been in prosperous circumstances at the present moment.— The Learned Counsel con- cluded his address by observing, that the profits, as he had stated, of Mf\ Normansell's business, would be proved before the Jury. It would be for them, therefore, under such circumstances, to determine what compensation he was entitled to. The value of his premises was evident from the fact, that his client had tried several shops in other parts of the town, but none of them had answered his expectations.—/ The Jury., he trusted, would consider, that his client's loss was not the less because he had heen so unfor- tunate as to compound with his creditors, lie hoped, therefore, they would not measure out their com- pensation to him with a meagre hand, but would matte him a liberal recompense for Ihe injury he had already, and was likely again to sustain from his re- moval He ( the Learned Counsel) should now pro- ceed to call witnesses iu support nf his case, resting perfectly satisfied with whatever should be tlfe deter- mination of the Jury. Samuel Walterwas then called.— He stated that he was an accountant, and employed occasionally by Mr. Normansell. Me had drawn out in a book £ tbe book was here produced] an account of various: sales, made by Mr. Poyser, with the profits, from entries which he ( Mr. Poyser) had made in his books and in the Excise catalogues. He had also entered into this book similar accounts of the sales of Mr. Cartledge and Mr. Jackson, who were employed by Mr. Normansell, and of the profits made on those sales respectively.— He ascertained the profit on each article sold by referring to the hills of parcel ofthe prime cost, and seeing for what it had been disposed of— In his cross- examination, by Mr. Williams, wit ness stated that watches formed a very considerable item in the account of sales made during the years 1822- 3. The other goods so! d consisted of tea- trays, plated castors, trinkets, knives, feather beds, and a variety of other articles. Be knew that Mr. Nor- mansell had had a shop in Deansgate, and was aware that if. had not answered. Rich err d Poyser was afterwards examined.— He stated that he was employed by Mr. Normansell, in 1822r3, to make sales for him in his shop in Market- street. He sold for him up to September last. [ The witness here produced several hooks containing the accounts of sales made by himself and other persons in Mr. NormanseiPs shop in Market- street, with the price ai which each article was sold, from May 1822, to. August 1823.]— Witness furnished Mr. Walter with an account of all sales made by him in the year 1822- 3, and they were correct.—[ The book made out by Mr. Walter was here shewn to witness ; and he stated that as far as his accounts went he would venture to say it was a correct copy from the books and papers with which he furnished him. J— Witness stated, that Mr. Normanseli's shop in Market- street was justly considered to be a very good one. He) ( Mr. Norma nsell) had taken a room in Deansgate as a public Kale- room, but it was not fit for the business. He had one also in York- street, w'hich was not qua lifted for carrying on the concern as in Market- street. He always found he could do plenty of business in Market street. He found, from a reference to his books, tliat lie had realized himself, in 1822, from sales by auction, the sum of £ 400, independent of profits from other sales.— Mr. Normansell employed a number of cahrnet- tnakers, from twelve to four- teen, and he ( witness) went to Wakefield, in July 1822, to sell some cabinet goods made by the then ; but a loss of not less than £ 250 was sustained by that journey.— During the twelve months prior to September last witness attended no less than thirteen country towns in the neighbourhood with c; i hi net goods ; but too many of these joti'rnieM. were attended with loss.— In his cross- examination witness stated that very little of what he sold in Market . street was at a loss ; but when he Went abroad there was a o- reat loss. He would state the reason of this. There were the carriage of the goods, porterage, hiring of rooms, printing of advertisements, aiid advertising them, a good dinner for himself occa- sionally, and a treat to the Play, all of which swelled out the expenses, and were expected to come out of the profits.— He lived in Manchester, at 250, Great Ancoats- street. The shop in Market- street was always well frequented. The man employed to call in the people was noted for his good voice.— Mr. Williams: When the man at the door had called iu a number of gaping people, I suppose you mounted your box?— Witness: No; I was ready mounted!— Witness continued. He generally found Deansgate to be a bad thoroughfare. The Cheshire people came tbatwav, and afewothers, but the number was not great.— People did not come often to the shop in Deansgate.— Mr. Williams: You mean, I suppose, that those who came in, once did not come in again ! — Witness: Yes!— be was not able to identify any particular watch of which he had made an " entrv in his book. At the cost price they were averaged at 22s. each. He could not trace a particular article to a particular invoice. The watches were bought in Manchester, ne did not know where Mr. Nor- mansell bought the tea- pots, waiters, and othe goods.—[ Here the witness evinced great reluctance in answering the questions put to him by the learned ' Counsel, and replied to one or two inquiries in a very ( petulant manner.— Mr. Williams examined the in- voices of the japanned and other articles, when the cross- examination was continued.] Witness said, the japanned goods Came from Birmingham.—^ The return to the Excise of the sales Witness made Jn Market- street specified that the goods had been sold by auction, but did not state whose property they ...— returii sometimes stated that thev Were sold in Manchester, and ai other times that they wer sold at 12, Market- street.— Mr. Normansell fell ink* difficulties some time ago. Witness reluctantly ad- mitted that lie had heard he was arrested within the last vear, but could not say in what month. He hear( 5 he was arrested at the suit of several persons. He had also heard of his entering into a composition with his creditors. He had heard of this before fo- rday. He learnt from Mr, Normansell himself that he was iu difficulties, and that his first offer fo his creditors was ten shillings, and the second offer six shillings and eightpenee in the pound0 He offered five shillings in the pound down, and five shillings more on the expectancy of money from the Market street Commissioners.— Witness had offered to join Mr. Normansell in security for the payment of the second five shillings in the pound, in the expectation of what Mr. Normansell might get from the Commissioners; ' © lit the creditors objected to his security.— Mr. Normansell had premises in Deans gate about two years and a half.— Watches were sold only at times there; for Deansgate did not furnish him with so manyfats t Cabinet goods were the principal things that were forced off in Deans gate, when the needful was wanted.— Mr. Williams: You speak of your operations iipon what you call flats, pray did you ever hear of sxceeteners? Mr, TJormansell generally employed what are legally called buyers- in : one or two of these persons almost always attended sales ; and if thejtfa^ did open thei mouths wide enough, the buyers- in did not open theirs ; but if the gudgeons began only to nibble, the buyersrin opened theirs widely!— Re- examined.— Sometimes the accounts of sales were entered by the clerk, sometimes by himself. He was accountable, and did account to the Excise, on the faith of these books, for the amount of sales. Particular persons were employed as buyers- in : not more than two at a time.— The weekly expenses of the shop were £ 4.15s. including rent,, taxes, men's wages, and his own salary.— Cross. examination resumed.— Witness was fully acquainted with the cost prices of the different articles sold.— He had looked over the items in the book on the table, and tlie profits stated there as realized were . correct: he could state this upon hi: oath.— By the Assessor.— In the accounts of sales . they mixed those by auction and those by contract together. It was left to the recollection of the night, in many cases, to say which articles had been sold by auction, and which by eon tract .-^ Jt was the general practice of all the servants to account each night to the master or mistress for what had been done in the day.— By a Juryman: What may Mr. Wo r man sell have owed when he stopped payment? Witness: I cannot exactly sa> ; but I believe from £ 800 to £ 900.— Juryman : I should have thought you would have known his debts correctly when you'oftered to be security for him. Thomas Cartledge was then called. He stated that he had been employed as an auctioneer by Mr. Normansell, and had furnished Mr. Walter with a correct statement of all the sales he had made in 1822- 3. The account Mr. Walter had made out of his sales and of the profits was correct. There were some accounts of sales that could not be made out, owing to the loss of the books, which were not considered to be of any use after the return had been made to the Excise.— Witness went to Wakefield with Poyser to sell some cabinet goods; and they went off at a great loss.— Mr. Normausell had had a shop in Deansgate for the sale of all kinds of cabinet goods. The goods finished in the cabinet- makers' shop were placed there. He was sure that the cabinet business was a losing concern, Mr. Norman- sell not knowing the business. He employed twelve or fourteen men. The shop in Market- street was the best situation in town. Thomas Jackson examined.— He had been em- ployed, occasionally, by Mr. Normanseil as an auctioneer, and had furnished Mr. Walter with an account of the sales be had made. He was ac- quainted with the cost prices of articles he had sold. The gales witness had entered, with the sums the articles had sold for were correctly stated.— Cross- examined.— He had acted as auctioneer for Mr. Normansell about four months, beginning in Sep- tember last. He had got into some difficulty wrong- fully, and was put into the New Bailey through false swearing.— He had also sold a silver watch whilst lie was with Mr. Atkinson, auctioneer, to Richard Williams, the still- man at the Infirmary : he sold the watch for £ 2. 10s. Williams paid £ 1. 10s. down, and was to pay the remainder the Saturday following, when he was to have the watch. He afterwards complained that witness had sold a watch to him for £ 2. 10s. which was not worth the money he liad given already. He wished witness to return him the money he had paid, and offered him a shilling if he would comply. Witness told him that he could do no such thing, as the King's duty was lialf- a- crown. He got a summons to the Court of Requests served upon Mr. Normansell, to recover the money he had paid, but he never attended, as witness was informed. Mr. Normansell had both the watch and the money still in his possession ; but the watch was at Williams's service if he liked to fetch it.— The average price ofthe watches was 22s. They were made in imitation of gold. Thomas Normansell called.— lie was the brother of Mr. Edward Normansell, and had heen in the habit of making sales for him in Market- street. His brother also made sales there, and witness knew to a considerable amount. The sales made by his brother at which witness was present, might amount to £ 500. He also made several sales by contract, as also did witness and Mr. Normansell's wife: these were not entered in the books.— Cross- examined.— He did not know that his brother kept a stock- book, or ever took an account of his stock, to see how he stood in the World. His brother's manner of maintaining himself and his family was as good now as it was before he failed. His brother had received a Notice from the Commissioners, 18 months ago, to quit his premises in Market street, but he did not think it a legal Notice, as it was made out in a wrong name, and he said lie would not attend to it.— Re- examined, — His brother had been advised by his medical attendants to live out of town, for the benefit of his health. He had held the shop in Market- street nearly four years. Jt was the first shop in Man- chester that he had taken.— He came from Liver- pool to this town : he was employed there as Auctioneer. He occasionally was employed in Man- chester to sell the furniture of private families,— Mr, NormanselPs family consisted of three children, his wife, sister, and servant- girl.— He also contributed very much to the support of witness's family, besides giving him his regular wages. Witness was occa- ionally employed as a buyer- in. William Heywood examined.— He was occasionally employed by Mr. Normansell to sell for him by auc- tion. The sales he had made in one quarter in 1822 amounted to £ 100. He knew very well the cost prices of the articles he had sold. The profit on: w atches was reckoned at ihe rate of one hundred and fifty Per C(' nt- » {, on a, l< l British shirting one hundred per cent. Those articles averaged that profit. William Pass and Thomas Bra dwell, auctioneer, were examined as to the value of the shop- fixtures and the gas pipes and apparatus ; and Mr. John Brez, solicitor, with reference to the composition, which Mr. Normansell had entered into with his. c red ' tors. Mr. WituA'Rts then rose to address the Jury.—. He commenced by slating, that he appeared on behalf ofthe Commissioners appointed to execute the powers ofthe Market- street Act, aud that, in treating this case, he should be as moderate and as little personal iis the nature of circumstances adduced in evidence would allow. With regard to tlie situation in which the Commissioners stood in this case, it is well known that they acted upon their oath. They acted gra- tuitously— worked without pay, or the prospect of any reward; and no benefit " could result to them from the issue of this, or any other similar Inquiry. It was well known, also, to the Jury, that they could, in cases of this description, be very open and liberal — that they might be exceedingly generous and pro- file in the expenditure of other people's monev ; and, like the unjust Steward in the Scriptures, when one bill was brought into them of a thousand, they might say, do you Writedown one hundred, and to another of five hundred, do you write down fifty. But these Gentlemen did uot act in so unsparing a manner. Though personally disinterested, they dealt out what was intrusted to them with a prudent and impartial hand, and were perhaps more rigorous and; exact in ail their public transactions than they were in their own individual concerns. In this case tl » e Commissioners had had no precise criterion to enable, them to judge correctly upon— no data whereby they could ascertain, satisfactorily, what the generai value Of Mr. Nocman- sell's business was, or how be obtained a livelihood. The returns which had been sent to th? Excise Office had been proved to have been made principally by the witness Poyser, and there were no' means of judging whether the sales he had given a statement of were made on his own account, or for Mr.. Normansell. There were no positive facts which; they could arrive at in order to come to a conclusion, upon the state of his affairs or profits. In the ab- sence, therefore, of all correct data, they were obliged to act in the best manner they could ; and with re- spect to the compensation which they had determined upon, they had been guided by no improper motives of generosity, but had been directed by principles, of justice alone. He would repeat that there was,, nothing tangible by which his clients could possibly ascertain the state of his affairs, much less to show that they were iu a prosperous state, it was. known, that several writs were out against Mr. Noruiansell at the same time. These things were not generally done in a bole and corner, but spread about like wild- fire; and it wq, ukl be for the Jury to consider, whether this mail's business was likely to he profit- able at all, saying nothing of ihe profits which had been ascribed to it, when there were no less than three actions pending against him at o, ne time. The Commissioners might reasonably conjecture, from these circumstances, that he was not carrying on very profitable sort of business, a/ id they had acted towards him with justice accordingly. Perfectly, distinct from real profits, it was evident that Mr. Normansell's gains were of tJ/ e left- handed descrip- tion. It could not, therefore, be thought siiigMilar that, the Commissioner.? should have been limited,, and what is irnnicallr called generous, with a person of Misdescription,— His learned friend, Mr. Col- tmaii^ in opening this case, had evinced much moderation, and had introduced no irregular topics in |) is address, except a sneer at the generosity of his ( Mr. Williams'*) clients: the Jury, would ho " doubt, fee! the force of that observation, and for himself be should pass it over in perfect good humour . The Jury would also perceive the attempts which had been made to exto( Market- street, and judge of them accordingly. The labours of the witness Poyser in this respect were re- markable. In Market- street, according to his show- ing, every thing was gained- all successful; but move one step out of this desirable spot, and all was lost- splendid oratorical talents quite unavailing-- of pq possible use— hundreds of pounds were lost— and no flats to take in ! He had always fbought that Deans- gate was a principal thoroughfare of the town*, it was the principal entrance from the county of which he ( the learned Counsel) was a native— a county famous for making cheese, but not, he had ever thought, so distinguished for talent as its neigh- bouring county, Lancashire!' It seemed, bowever? there were not so many^ uVs in Cheshire, according to Mr. Poyser's statement; or that, if they, were numerous there, they were good for nothing to him. Market- streetwas, of all othersjthe place of triumph- ant success to Mr. Poyser— every thing was there, and all; but go into Deansgate and the tables were turned- rnothing but. the Cheshire lasses to be seen there, but all ihe fats in Market- strieet! If, however, Deansgate had heen in a course of im- provement, and Mr. Normansell bad had a shop there, then all the profit would have been gained in that street and none in Market- street.— The learned Counsel afterwards observed he wished to direct the attention of the Jury to the manner in which the alleged profits had been unblushingly stated to have been made. By virtue of oije of those receptacles, ut. which a fellow with a deep, sonorous voice, ( resem- bling the character pourtrayed by the first of poets. Homer, whose voice is reported to have been as loud as the voices of fifty men together) endeavoured by his outrageous bawling to get people into this Cacus'$ cave — so outrageous indeed, that a fine was imposed Upon Mr. Normansell fo. r keeping a man possessing such lungs: by virtue of one of these receptacles, the Learned Gentleman continued, where people- were drawn iny the profit of Mr. Norsmiiisel^ s trade was made Out— from gross extortion.— Mr. Williams; then animadverted, with deserved severity, upon the manner in which the business of Mr. Normansell had been sworn to be carried on in Market- street, and emphatically declared, that the sales of such watches as had been described in evidence was nothing less than a system of eheaterv, and the parties guilty of it rendered themselves liable to be placed at a bar of justice On the charge of obtaining money Under fraudulent pretences, lie Would ask them, was it decent, or moral, or legal, to come and claim a compensation for profits obtained by no Other means than cheating the King's subjects?— Mrr Williams afterwards observed upon the evidence of Poyser, Jackson, and Havwood, reprobating the first- named witness, in merited terms, for She levity and indecency of his conduct while giving- his evi- dence.— The learned Counsel also particularly dweli upon the fraud so very extensively and dishonourably committed upou the Public, in extorting profits,, from them at the extravagant rate of one hundred and fifty per cent, and concluded his address by ex- pressing a hope that I lie Jury would not give countenance, in the'slighfest degree, fro so barefaced and infamous a system of fraud, and woirld not allow Mr. Normansell ativ compensation whatever.. The learned Assessor then recapitulated part of the evidence, observing upon it as he went © n,. with> great clearness and perspicuity . — He characterised the business of Mr. Normausell as Of a very dotHrtfuS' and suspicious nature, and expressed the surprise" and astonishment he felt at witnessing the hardihood manifested by Poyser when giving his evidence.—- The breaking"- up of an establishment like this would be of some benefit, as it would be getting rid of a nuisance; and the Jury would mal^ e this a subject of their consideration. Mr. Normalised was certainly entitled to a fair and reasonable allowance for his fixtures; and he was also entitled by law to not less than three months' real, honest promts, hut what such description of profits amounted; to, they must judge from the evidence, and in their award act according to their own pure discretion. The Jury immediately retired, and after being absent nearly three quarters of an hour, returned with the following Verdict:— For the fixtures £ 30 ; for three months' profits, £ 60.— The proceedings occupied nearly seven hours.
