A Committee was appointed in the HorsE of COMMONS on Thursday night, on the motion of Mr. Hi ME, toinquire into three subjects of considerable importance to the trading and manufacturing in. teresls — the Restriction on the Emigration of Artr/ ans and tbe Exportation of Machinery, and the Laws against the Combination of Workmen. Mr. Hupie was followed by Mr. HUSKJSSON, who declared thai, toa great extent, he concurred with the views of the. Hon. Mover, but he should be gnided in his decision by the evidence produced before the Committee. He agreed with him, " that every man, who by bis diligence, liis talent, or his application, had obtained the means of acquiring property, if not remunerated at home, ought to he allowed" to seek remuneration elsewhere, unless a great and overwhelming public necessity were shown to the contrary." With regard to the free ( xportation of machinery, he thought public opinion was more divided ; at present he entertained a strong feeling thai the country would be benefited by such a measure, but he wished to reserve himself on this part of tbe subject until he had heard all that could lie stated by those most interested in the question. It however appeared to him, that if the unrestricted emigration of artizans were permitted, it would he more difficult than ever to prevent the exportation of machinery. With respect to the Comtvnation Laws, it was a subject of extent and difficulty, and one which would require great industry, on account of the complicated system which it would be necessary to unravel. From the best attention which he bad been able to bestow upon it, he must say he was convinced that the laws against combinations had tended to multiply com- binations, and that they had greatly aggravated the evil they were intended to remove. A Com- mittee was then appointed. THE KING— The following is a copy of His Majesty's Answer to. the Address of both Houses of Parliament, on the Lords' Commissioners' Speech on the opening of the Session ; and which answer, we understand, was personally penned by His Majesty :— " I thank you for this dutiful and affectionate Address.— Nothing can be so gratifying to me as the expression of your cordial participation in my sentiments ; and there is nothing so near to my heart as to maintain the greatness of the British name, and to promote the welfare and prosperity of my people." Itjs determined to separate Ihe governments of Malta and of the Ionian Islands, which were conjointly held by the late Sir Thomas Maillaud The former is to he given to the Marquis of Hastings, with a salary of ±' 0000 a year; the latter to Sir Fred. Adam, with one of £ 4000 per annum. The command of the forces in the Mediterranean will not lie included, as heretofore^ in the govern- ment of Malta. On Friday last Ihe sum of £ 2,500,000 in specie, being ihe amount of the Austrian payment to this country, was landed at Dover, and immediately forwarded, under escort, on its way to Loudon. Mr. Elliott, the missionary, arrived at Ports, month on Thursday, in the Oscar, from Demerarh ; but we are requested to state, lhat his return to England is not compulsory, but perfectly volnntaiy: his stay here is merely temporary; he has left his family in the colony.— Courier.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT- MONDAY. E In the House of Lords, this evening, nothing but routine business was transacted. HOUSE OF COMMONS. After some routine business, Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW moved the second reading of the Usury Law s Repeal Bill. Mr. Davenpoit, Mr. Cooper, Sir J. Wrottesley, and Mr. Cnlciaft opposed ihe Bill, as inimical to the laws of the country, aud calculated to increase the rale of interest. Mr. Iluiiie, Mr. J. Smith, nnd Mr. Grenfell sup ported the Bill, as calculated to lower the rale of interest.-— Mr. Huskisson also supported ihe Bi and said the Usury Laws only tended to increase tbe difficulty of raising- money; and he observed that the Chancellor of ihe Exchequer who had formerly opposed Ihe Bill, was of opinion that the present was a favourable time for making any alteration lhat may be deemed necessary in the Usury Laws.—- Mr Baring said, lie thought the measure proposed was calculated to lower the rate of interest; and he thought when the Hill should be discussed in a Com- mittee tlie prejudices of the country gentlemen against it would he removed.— Oil a division the second reading of the Bill was carried by a majority of 120 to 23.

Jones, of the Royal Montgomery Militia, were elected Royal Academicians, iu the room of Joseph INollckms, Esq. and Sir Henry Raeburri, deceased. A Meeting of the Brecon Cymreigyddion Society was held on the " 9lh inst .; when the Rev. T. Price addressed the assembly with great ffT^ ct on the benefits already derived from the various Cymreig- yddion Societies, whosechief object was toeoltivate and perpetuate the Ancient British Language, so necessary to the moral and religious instruction of hundreds of thousands in the Principality and else- where. The Rev. Gentleman observed it was a well known fact, that a race of people of Celtic origin, whose language was almost the same as the Welsh, existed in the province of Bretague, in France. Under the rule of Napoleon, a census of the Empire was made, when it was found that there were eleven hundred thousand in France, who spoke the Celtic language: these people, Mr. Pliee observed, had never had the Bible in their native language, and lie trusted the Cymreigyddion Societies would unite to furnish them with such an edition, and thus repay a debt which had been owing from this country to litem more than a thousand years; for, when the Romans left this Island, Britain was in danger of being over run by the Pelagian heresy, but the Bretons sent over a body of learned and pious men from Gaul who succeeded in preaching down that destructive heresy, and established the security of the ^ riiish Church, which continued to flourish with such vigour from that time forward, that the Britons resisted. even the yoke Of Popery, for many ages after the rest o! Europe had submitted to it.

E Situation of one of the CORONERS It of this County being about to become vacant by the Resignation of Mr. WIIITCOMBE, 1 be^ Leave most respectfully to offer myself as a Candi date for the important Office, and to solicit th Honour of your ATTENDANCE AT THE POLL Since the Division was made of the Hales Owen District, the whole of the Inquests have been held within 22 Miles of this Town, and which has been the Residence of the Coroner ( or withfti eight Miles of the Place) for upwards of 60 Years last past. If you appoint your Coroner at Bridgnorth, which has already got one for the Liberties—( another being ikewise appointed for the extensive Franchise of Wenlock, and one also for Broseiey)— then you will have Four Coroners within 8 Miles of each other and the Hundreds of Clun, Purslow, Chirbtiry Ford, and Munslow, will be io the Jurisdiction of the Bishop's Castle Coroner. This would be attended with a great Expense to your County, as, out of the 75 Inquests held by Mr. WHITCOMBE during bis Coronership of 5 Years only, 7 have been held on the other Side of Bridg north, and which were in the Parishes of Rudge Claverlev, and Morville. Mr JONES informs you that my Residence is upon the Confines of the County ; for which Reason I have come forward, aud with what Success will he seen at the Day of Poll. If be will look to Baugh' Map of the County, he will find where the othe three reside. For what Purpose would it be to appoint your Coroner in the Centre of your County, or in a Distiict where others are already exercising that Right within their Jurisdiction. I am sorry to see that Mr. JONES, in his Address makes so light of tiie Office for which he is i Candidate. If he will, for one Moment, consider the great Importance and serious Duties of the Office, he will find that it is not attained with that Practical Knowledge which he may possess; but that the very Old Law Books ( of Waste Paper Value, as he says) are the grand and Golden Laws for a Coroner, aud if he does not know and under- stand them, he must be very unfit for such an Office. It has not been in my Power to personally can- vass tbe whole of the Freeholders throughout this County ; but I hope that those that I have not seen, will join Hand in Hand with those that I have j and I assure the whole, that 1 shall feel myself highly honoured in their meeting me at the Day of Poll; until which Time, I have the Honour to remain, MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, Your very obedient humble Servant, S.

In.; Salopian Journal. Sufficient has already been said as to the most eligible Situation for the Residence of the Coroner : upon that Point Mr. Southam and myself are at 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. 1 am not conscious of hav- ing uttered a single Expression from which any such Inference can he drawn. That to qualify a Gentleman for the Office of Coroner much deep Legal Research and Knowledge is not necessary, I 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. Uinfreville'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 on the Day of Election. Should I he the Object of your Choice, you may rely that I will execute the Office with Diligence and Integrity. I have to remain, MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, Your obliged and very humble Servant, ' G. JONES, Surgeon. BRiDaxoRTH, JAN. 19, 1824.

In pursuance of a resolution passed at ibe meeting- on the 19th ult. another uieeting upon this subject was held at the Guildhall on Monday last, when the Viscount CLIVE, on the motion of the Hon. T. KENYPN, seconded by J. A. LLOYD, Esq. took tbe Chair, and opened the business by stating that the best way of proceeding would be to read the resolutions passed at the last meeting, and request the gentlemen who were appointed to make the plans aud estiinafes at that meeting, to state vv. liat they- had done. His Lords, hip then read the resolu- tions as inserted in our journal of the 21st ult,; after which, Mr. HARLEY produced the plans- aud estimates made in pursuance thereof. The Hon. T. KENYON said,— It is, not without the Utmost diffidence I again ,;! l'er myself to,, your notice, wi. JI knowing that it might be said I " have no right to interfere in a town where I have neither property nor influence ; at the saint- time I consider it the most nianly way to declare at oiice that every gentleman who has property ou the Ilisli road is", more or less, interested iu tiie subject; and sis the battle must be fought in Shrewsbury, I conceive I shall not be accused of presumption iu venturing to take a part in the discussion, I hope 1 ( night also be allowed to say that I do take a lively interest iu tbe prosperity ofthe town of Shrews- bury,' and that I am actuated by no ambitious or selfish designs- iu what I now do. I shall notice, in the first pfuce, tbe plans submitted to the Com- mittee ; secondly, throw out some hints as to se- curing the mail on ihe present line ; and thirdly, state what I consider would be the result and the advantages thereby gained by tfie town. As there were many persons present who had not been at the former meeting, I will draw their atten- tion to the first plan given by Mr. Telford — that plan took in nil tbe alterations that bad been pro- posed for the town of Shrewsbury ; the amount of the estimates for that plan was £ 40,000: this sum was thought so large us to make it impracticable to carry- it- intoexecution.— At a meeting subsequently held a Committee was formed, and they received other plan's and estimates, two of which at another meeting were submitted for their approbation,— one of these vvas to go round by the Walls, and the other through the Town of Shrewsbury. " The estimate for improving- the road along the Town Walls from the Stone Bridge to the Welsh Bridge ( exclusive of tlie arc- lies or the embankment at Barker Street up to Clareinont, or Ihe back road to the Lion lun, or the improvement of Belmont) will cost about the sum of £ 13,040." Tlip gentlemen who were making this estimate, when they had come to that amount, gave up the idea of valuing further ; but had tlipy continued their valuation, it would, I am informed, have amounted to about £ 5000 more. Another plan was to bring the road, with a little deviation, up the Wyle Cop. This was Mr. Telford's plan, with a slight variation, and tbe estimated expense was only £ 9000, and if the improvements were continued to connect the Wyle Cop and High Street, it would cost £ 1400 m > re, forming a total of £ 10,400. When these estimates were proposed, I stated that if they bad been reversed. and the plan for going round by tbe Walls been £ 9000, the one for going through the town would be far preferable. I am of the same opinion! irow as 1 was then; and as the plan for going through the town is not only the preferable one but, tlit- least expensive, there can, I think, he 1) 0, comparison as to which it would be b- ss to adopt. At that meeting other plans were stated, fresh resolutions were adopted, and ample time was given to make plans and estimates. One plan was that suggested by Mr. Salt of raising- and embanking a driving road in the middle, leaving an occupation way on each side of the street.

This extensive Live Stock is, by superior Judge,?, considered one of . the best ever offered to Public Sale in this County, and ffiSJtll toe 60 auction, BY MR. SMITH, On Monday, the 2? d of March, 18> 4, and follow- ing Day. rpHE CATTLE are pure HerefWds, JL principally reared from Bulls bred by Mr. RAVENSHAW and other celebrated Breeders ; the Teams of Horses, Flock of Sheep, aud Pigs, scarcely to be equalled ; the Implements are also excellent, and with Propriety the Auctioneer may add, a more choice Stock cannot be selected. Particulars . in a future Paper, and other property ou both sides of the Wyle Cop, St. Julian's Friars, and Dog- pole, by raising- tiie bottom and lowering* the top with back way to the Unicorn, amounted to £ 12,434. The expense of forming- the road and completing the same, as estimated bv Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Penson, £ 2253, making a " total of £ 14,687.— Since that meeting I have seen Sir Henry Pamell, and it may be in the recollection of some of the gentlemen present that at the last meeting I objected to the plan then proposed of raising the bottom and lowering the top, on the. g: round that in one part of it there was a dip of I in i0 [ Mr. Hamilton said it was only for 23 feet]], this thoiigh, perhaps, not of so much con- sequence sin coining- up, would be very bad going i down, svnd | n the casre down and, meeting- any thing, would, from the narrowness of the part, be very dangerous. Sir Henry Par a ell also started the same objection, and for the sa^ ne reasons, which shewed that those made by me were not futile.—- The other plan proposed amounted to still more money, than the one I have jn § t read, and is as follows:— The valuation of all the dwelling houses and other property situated < m the north side of Wyle Cop, commencing at the Stone Bridge and ending- at the corner of Dugpole, after deduct- ing- the value of tbe old materials, was £ 19,914; that on the opposite or south side of the same street, beginning at the same place and ending at the' premises occupied by Messrs. Barnes and Carline, also of certain other prope ty in St. Julian's, Friars and leading to the Town Walls, £ 9101, making- a . total of £ 29,01 On the line will be found 39 silt's for houses, which, at £ 200 each, will produce £ 7800, leaving a net cost or loss of £ 21,215, to which must be added the esti- mat. e lor forming or making the road, amounting to £ 600, which. vvould leave a total expense of £ 23,715, exclusive of a heavy expense ol' forming arches, vvhich' vyfuld, probably amount to 3 or £ 4000. TJiesev: genj4emen, are the plans that have been su, hmittedt, to us, and it would be ridiculous in me to try to induce you to accede to any plan but that of Mr. Birch's, because the expense of it is so much below that of the others as to put the question beyond1 doubt. I, therefore, shall propose that it. be adopted '; but beg also witli humility to suggest a plan, certainly not. originating vvith me, nor am I authorized": to state with whom it did originate, but it is one by which the whole money might be raised without burdening the town — namely, by a general rate throughout the County of one farthing, which, if submitted to, the money would be raised without any difficulty.— Gentlemen, I am now come to the last part, the advantages to be gained, and I must, say that. I look upon the preservation of the mail on the present line as a material ad vantage, and worthy of our attention. The Holyhead . mail ar- rives at Dublin at half- past four in the afternoon, hut if the plans proposed for accelerating it, which are now in a state of forwardness, be adopted throughout the whole of the line, the mail will arrive at Holyhead at two o'clock, and if so, a packet would be immediately established to sail without waiting for the Chester mail, and proceed at once to Howth. The averag- e number of hours the packet takes in crossing is seven, which would bring the mail there by nine, in the morning, from whence the letters would g- et to Dublin by ten If the mail succeeded in g- etting down thus early, the siinie speed would bring- it up to London in the same time, by which means the mail would not have occasion to leave Dublin so soon as it does at present, but would allow plenty of time to enable the inhabitants to answer letters by the return of post; and if this he once accomplished, any o increased speed would be entirely useless. On thesp grounds I conceive that some improvement of the Wyle Cop is due to the accommodation of the I Irish, travellers, and am of opinion that tiie plan proposed by mv friends behind me ( Messrs Ray- cock, Birch, a. nd Harley) Is the best, and, there- fore, move that it be adopted,. Mr. J. A. LLOYD said he had great pjeasu seconding the motion that the plan proposed by Messrs. Haycock, Birch, and Harley he adopted, and felt, satisfied that the plan proposed by hiinsel" at the last meeting was so unadvisable, that be was prepared togive it up. As to the plan suggested by Mr. Kenyon for rajrsiug the money, it did 1191 tjecom him to; say a word. If he could he of any servici in forwarding- it he should be happy so to do, and nothing-' he thought could he lighter If adopted he eertaiiily should recommend a slight alteration All property within 5, (), or 10 miles should be rated double, on account of the greater advantages that would accrue thereto whei) the business should be carried in 10 effect. He then seconded th, e solution which his lion, friend njoved. Mr. SUTTON* asked vyha. i they ipt. iende( ll to do vyiiii Dogpole, and whether the " improving the a. sc$ n' there was included in the estimate of £ 9000 or £ 1400, otfyenyise " they should be like g- oing yp stairs ? Mr. KEN vox.— Tiie new line will come into Dog- pole, and of course make an easy way. Th improvement of it is taken into consideration in th £ 9000. Mr. H. IRLEY. — The lovverj- ng the, ascent need not , exi," nd liiuch higher than Mr. Peele's premises Mr. KENY- ON said any sort of information tha was in his power he should he most happy to gi ve There was another plan which he ought to hav me^ iio? ied, but it had only been receive^ that day it was for taking the, road hy means of- a new bridge across the River into Raven Street. The estimated . expense was £ i5,000. Justice' S- U. ITH, said, to his ' knowledge that' plan had been proposed years ago, by Mr. Mytton, Of Halston. ,..' ' ' ' *, " The plan for. preserving the present line vvas then notice, d, and' Mr. KENYON said, unfortunately in that there is one. place so very steep tliat the desceht would'be 1 in 10. Mr. ilAMJLTON.— That vyiil extend only for 23 fget; the rest would be very easy — oiily I Vn 25. Viscount CLIVE.~ ILit it will cost £ l4,6b7. Mi-., KENYGN.— rAnd hlmOst bury some of thp. house?. ': ' Justice ' SMITH — Why shoirld pe0pie whq live " Within 5 or 6 miles pay more than others ? what are you going to do ail tins for ?— For the Irish !— why we get nothing by them \ —( Laughter J. The Rev. T. OSWELL asked if M r. Birch's plan was we IS understood? - Viscount CLIVE and Mr. KEN YD- N explained it; and the latter informed Mr. O. it was Mr. Telford's with a slight variation. Mr. OSWELL said a few words in opposition to the plan, though friendly to practicable improve- ments. Justice SJVJITH asked Mr. Harley what they had vqlued the Unicorn at. Mr ..- BARLEY objected to answer questions of that description, on the ground that from the putting a value on individual property inconveniences might l> erearter arise. Mr. IVEI^ YOJJ said the owner of jt had given her consent. Mf. BIRCH said she preferred the road going at the back to going in the front, for if the ground in front was raised as intended, " nothing would co. in- pensate her for the injury it woijjtl do.'' Mr. Jo IS ES ( Wyle Co" p) said if the street was raised so high as w\ as proposed, the property vvoul( J not be worth much! Mr. BIRCH then asked Mr. Jones which he pre- ferred, the line at the back, or having the street raised, Mr. JONES replied there was no necessity for raising the strept at all in such a fine wide road as that vvas. Mr, HAMILTON said most of the residents on the W. yie Cop had been spoken to, and perhaps there were about an equal number of assentients and dissentients. Viscount CLIVE hoped the meeting fully under, stood the plan; if any information was wanted he hoped they would speak before the question was put. He then explained the line of direction, and if* advantages in going through gardens and pro perty that vyas not very valuable. •„ Mr. OSWELL said there would b. e an additional street to ke^ p in repair. Col. GOOCH.— And though tiie jjew street will not interfere with the property on the old line, it will be much lessened in value: he was a; great advocate for the old line, as the new one . would saddle the town with the expense of two streets. Mr. SUTTON.— Both of which they would have to watch and light. Mr. J. A. LLOYD and Viscount CLIVE respect- iv. ely noticed the expense the plans for the old line would amount to. , Mr. HARLEY thought the property which vvould grow up on the sides of the new line would more ilian pay the expense of maintaining the street. Mr. J. A. LLOYD asked Mr. Harley if he had ever takpn into account the compensation to be given to persons on the Wyle Cop for. the loss of tlie road. Mr. BIRCH thought the injury vvould he very little, as there were onlv five or six shops it vvould affect. Mr. KARLF. y § aid it would not have the effect of destroying the Wyle Cop as a street. Mr. J. EATON^ juii.— St will lessen the value of property, and, he. thought, fanners and others, coming into town and stopping* on jhe Wyle Top, would, if the new line were adopted, go further into town. . • Mr. HARLEY considered no one on the Wyle Cop would be injured by the new line being adopted, and if any claim for remuneration was set up, and brought before a jury, it would be laughed at. Viscount CLIVE then said,— Gentlemen, there are four plans on the table, and estimates for them The first amounts to £ 10,400. The second to £ 13,040: [ this was forgoing round the Walls, and was not quite, completed, the total of it would be about £ 5000 more. J The third plan would be ^' 14,687..., The fourth, the plan proposed by Mr. LLoyd, which, exclusive of a he^ avv expense for arches, kc. would be £ 21,715. On. these plans, you have to express your opinion. The Hon. T. KEN YON lnoyed, and Mr. J. A. LLOYD seconded, a " resolution,] that, it vvas the opinion of the'meeting- that the, plan, for making a new line of ro^ d from the English Bridge to the entrance of Dogpole, and lowCrino- the street from thence to St. Julians, l^ e adopted, and immediately acted upon. Mr. SUTTON presumed they njusig'otd Parliament. Viscount CLIVE.— Certainly. Mr., KE. NYON.-~ If w? E cannot raise the money without. ' , ' Justice SMITH objected to the town being !> ur- ea ed any more. Mr. KEN YON said if they went to Parliament for one line Of road, it would be equally necessary f any other wan adopted. Mr. SUTTON.— In the mean time we labour under the inconvenience of as bad a pavement as any in the kingdom; he then said lie should move that a good broken stone road be made, as it would take some time to g- o to Parliament, and if they waited for that nothing would be done in ti. ie mean time, whilst the street was in a most, shameful state. Viscount CLTVE considered it impossible to carry; a bill through Parliament in the present Session, as tlje'' requisite notices had not been given, unless they should have the concurrence of all the parties " nterested, which could hardly be expected. Mr. S. UTTON.— Theti why, my Lord, not try a good broken stone road. Justice SMITH did not like the town t ® be saddled with a tax that would uever be taken off. Viscount . CLIVE asked Mr. Sutton if he put. his motion as an amendment to that of Mr. Ivenyon ? to which he replied not in opposition but as to be done in the mean time. Mr. KEN YON always had said that making it a good broken stone road would do a great deal in improving it. Vis. c'omit CLIVE considered th$ t a business which belonged exclusively to the town. His Lordship then explained the requisite measures t<> be adopted previous to g'oing- to Parliament, none bf which he said had l? een complied with ; it might be done with the universal consent of the parties, but'if there was a single individual who ' objected to it FgLrliament would not suffer their standing orders to be dispensed with. Mr. SUTTON recommended his own plan to be carried into execution first, and se. e what sort of a road they should have. Mr. HARLEY suggested to Mr. Sutton that his object would be facilitated tyv concurring in Mr. Ken yon? s motion, because the Committee of Ma- nagement would then lay out some money to make the road good, as they were only waiting to see whether the alterations projected were to be made on the present line or on a new one ; they could do nothing hut repair until they knew which plan for the general improvement was determined upon. Mr. HUGHES.— If the Committee will make good road of the present there is only one line wanted. Mr. SALT.— An order was made by the Com- mittee fordoing it, and entered, and it would have heen done a year and half ago but for the projected improvements. Mr. HARLEY said the order then made was for underdraining the Wyle Cop, and Dogpole and for making the street g- ood. Mr. KENYON said he had only one object in view, the preservation of the Irish road, because he con side, red it afforded the town and neighbourhood incalculable advantages. He had, however, no ob- jection to withdraw his motion for the present, to give then? 911 opportunity of seeing what they were " able to do, and under the engagement*^ the Wyle Cop being M^ damised, he would allow it to stand over for it time. Mr. SALT declined answering- for the Committee of Management, which Mr. llarley said had no funds Mr. SUTTON.— If you have no funds to do that, you could not do the* other. If you intend to go to' Parliament, I should like to know whether any and what additional burden wil. 1 be imposed 01,1 the town . Mr. KENYON.— None. I . conceive, this plan will be less expensive to the town than M'Adamisjn the Wyle Cop; for the expense of the latter must, according to the Act of Parliament, be defrayed by the town. Mr. IIARLEY said he should be sorry if Mr Kenyou's motion should be with drawn, as theprc servation of the Irish intercourse was of consequence . to the town. Mr. HAMILTON said the M'Adamising the VVvle Cop, &. c. including the cutting off the top of the hilt, would, cost about £ 600. Mr. SUTTON.— I understand they have not funds to cut down the Wyle Cop, but have to M'Adamise it ; and in a few years, if found to answer, they could proceed to cut the top down. The expense of M'Ada mis ing he consiumed vvould be far less than paving. Mr. HARLEY.— No : it will be double. Mr. HAMILTON said there| were 4387 yards, nc I tiding Dogpole, the Friars, and part lead'iusr to the Walls?. b Some conversation then took place between Mr. HAMILTON and Mr. HARLEY as to the expense per yard, and the stones forming the pavement not being- sufficient to make a good road; when Mr. UTTON said t| iat M r. " M'Adam thought the stQnes IU London vyere sufficient to do the streets there • and Mr. HARLEY pointed out the difference between their pavement and the pavement here, and said that if. the road at the back of tin- Lion was determined upon, then something would be done as to making the road good on the Wyle Cop immediately, either by M ^ Adamising-, or paving. Viscount CLIVE asked if the Committee of Man- agement had any idea of M'Adamisiiig it? and Mr. HARLEY'replied he could not say, but when the plans were propose^ they would determine on that which should b<^ thought best. Viscount CLIVE considered it a great object to keep the Irish road, aud should be very soi'ry if it was taken away.' If something was not done to that part of the town they vvould lose it. The first consider atiou for the meeting was bow to keep the Irish Road through Shrewsbury with the least possible expense to the inhabitants. Like my Hon. Friend,_ i\! r. Kenyon, I ain a n'ell wwher to the town of Shietvsbury, and am desirous of doing what; we can to kee'p the road where it is, nnd n question arises whether that can be done by MfAdamising it, anil lowering tbe top. if the Committee of Management, will undertake to M'Adauiise it, tbe gentlemen of the town and county mioht advance £ 200 to cut down the top ,: f the hill.— The two objects might perhaps he united ; at all events we can have the advantag » of trying them Mr. PKNSON said the Wyle Cop might he M'Adainised for t' 40!>. The part of the hill where it ts proposed to expend the I'- JOO is the'part that wants repair the least: - most is wanting in the steep part of tbe bill, which cani| ot lie altered to bo of a good inclination without an enormous expense. The M'Adainising the Wyle Cop would remove the objections, excepting that part which you cannot do without tbe greatest expense. Mr. SALT ( who, as a Meniber of the Committee of Management, bail been applied to, and had con- sulted one or Hvo other Members iu the room) said, as to the principle of M'Adaniisinff thev were agreed : the only thing that prevented thein doing it before was the doubt that remained as to what would ultimately be done about the Irish Road. He believed that now the < oinmittee had not money to do it; but on tbe principle they were agreed. Mr. I'ENSON, with reference to the principle, instanced the benefit accruing from M'Adauiising the approach at Chester Bridge, and a steep limit iu Wrexham, which were both approved of. Mr. HCRTON noticed how much it was also ap- proved of at Bristol, where the inhabitants of a street which was longer and steeper than the Wyle Cop, who were nt first averse to the measure afterwards approved of It, and found it was not only better, but kept in repair for less than paving-. Mr. PENSON.— The general annual expense ofa broken stone road is more than that of a pavement, until the pavement requires to be renewed, anil then of course the latter is much more expensive. Mr. HAMILTON explained that his- estimate of £ 6 « 0 included the M'Atlaniising Dog- pole, the Friars, and part leading to tbe Walls, as v eil as the Wyle Cop ; also that the stones must be carried off'the street lo be broken. He agreed with Mr. Pensou that £ 400 would do the Wyle Cop ei'. ectu- ally. Viscount CLIVE said that, assuming that the meeting concurred in the itlea of M'Adninising it, if the Committee of Management would agree to lay out £ 200 in. the present year, be thought there would be no difficulty to raise £ 15!) mtire ; aud for one, as a friend to the town of Shrewsbury, and feeling an interest in its welfare, he would " nut his name down for 25 jr- tineas. Sir. KKNVON.— The handsome example set us by the Noble I, ortl lias put me quite at ease about M' Adamising it. 1 therefore withdraw niy resolu- tion for the present, on tbe understanding that it shall be done, and put my name down for 2) guineas. Mr. .!. A. LLOYD.— And as an equal well wisher, I sav ditto ditto to all Mr, Kenyou has said. Mr. S$ LT | aid he had consulted Mr. Phayre and Mr. Haycock, who, like himself, were members of the Committee of Management, and they ag. eetl to do all tl. nt lay iu their power; at the same time they could give no pledge,- but they would take car* it was taken iuto consideration. The principle of M'Adamising it had been put off above - a year and half, and the funds bad in the mean time been expended in other ways. Mr. IIARI. FV hoped the improvements wanted between tbe Wyle Cop and High Street would uot be lost sight of! Some discussion then took place as to the word- ing tjf one of the resolutions ; after which the following were put, and unanimously agreed to. 1. That this meeting is of opinion that ihe expe- riment of taking up the pavement, breaking the stone, and laving it down on tbe Wyle Cop, should lie tried ; - mid that a subscription be entered into to assist ( t The Committee of Management for im- proving the Town" in so tiding. 2. Il being stated that the above alteration, com- mencing at Milk- street, and ending nt the eastern end of the English Bridge, will cost about £ 400 ; it was proposed to advance £ 150 out of a subscrip- tion to be raised, the Committee of Management undertaking to effectuate this improvement during the current year. 3. That any overplus subscription lie applied to amending the line of tbe Holyhead Road through this town, iu such manner as shall be agreed upon by the Committee of Management nnd a Committee of Subscribers. That the Subscription Papers be left at the different Banks in the town for signatures. 5. That this Meeting tlo adjourn until Monday, the 1st day of'March, to receive the answer of the Committee to this proposition. The thanks of the Meeting were then, on the motion of the Hon. T. KENYON, seconded by J. A. LLovp, Esq. voted to Lord CLIVE, for his hand- some and liberal conduct in the chair. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FF. B. 12. THE KING » . COOTTE AND OTHERS. Mr.| CAMPBELL begged to mention this case again, ill which the i- enne vvas changed lo Shropshire, and to request that it might be altered - to Worcester or some more distant county, oil the ground lhat the estates claimed by Richard Stafford Cooke lay on tbe borders of Salop, lie should prefer Warwick- shire. Mr. TAt. ffocRn said, that he was sure if the Court looked iuto the affidavits, they would liurl that there was no reason for changing the renne at all. The defendants had not even condescended to mention the counties where the estates lav, but had sworn generally that they claimed estates " in all the adjoining counties." The LORD'CHIEF JUSTICE said there was no pre- tence for removing the case to Warwick ; hut perhaps it might lie better tried at Gloucester, as that being the last, place, a trial at the next assizes might be ensured. Tbe venue was accordingly changed to Gloucester. At the India House, a discussion of great in- terest took place on Wednesday, bill ofa uatureso delicate, that we touch it with ihe utmost caution. A rumour lias beenjately circulated, that the Court of Director?, bavins; discovered an embezzlement of £ 350,000 by tbe late Governor General, were taking Sleps for the impeachment of that noble, mail. The report, however false, seemed lo derive some authority from the fact, yhich has become notorious, that, from some cause, Ihe . Director* have resolved to withhold from tbe Marquis of Hastings the pension of £ 5000 per annum, pro. posed at file Court of Proprietors.— lo thisstate of the affair, some of Ihe noble Marquis's friends thought fi' to demand from the Chairman of ilia Court of Directors a solemn contradiction of the charge. The Chairman, however ( Mr. W, » ram), resting upon ihe strictly ministerial character of his office, maintained a perliiiacioua silence. T-. vo Directors, Mr. Elphinstoiie and Mr. Paltcson, . ex- culpated ibe bite Governor General frouj any dis- honourable imputation; and a letter from I, be Directors' Secretary, to Ihe same effect as their testimony, was read at tbe meeting.

" Pray don't disturb me, get you gone," Cries Duty, with a serious tone : Then, with a smile, " keep oil', my dear, Nor force me thus to he severe." " DearSir," cries Pleasure, " you're so grave, You yourself a perfect slave.

The Earl of DABNLEY moved that ihe House should he summoned to take the state of Ireland into consideration on the 2d of March.— The motion was agreed to, and a variety of papers, & c. Connected with the subject were ordered to lie prepared. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. Mr. HEME presented a petition, from a person ntStned Lotcho, who had been committed under the Vagrant Act for an improper exposure of his person — The petitioner complained of injustice iu his own ments, directly or indirectly, but as a subject of tbe imperial realm, I profess my unwillingness to change a single foundation- stone o'f lhat political structure, which long Time, profound wisdom, and fortunate circumstances, have concurred lo construct— which surrounding nations find it much more easy to ad- thau to imitate— which, once shaken, may never ecover its stability- and which owes its great value, net to symmetrical order, or regularity of form, but to the strength of its buttresses, the durability of its roof, and ihe substantial comforts of its internal .. ngement, and its multiplied accommodations. II Great Britain be ns I have described it, whence, t may be asked, can to much discontent arise— discontent, not merely confined to hair- brained expe- rimentalists, Jacobin reformers, desperate adven- tuieis, « r idle profligates, but pet vailing occasionally sirpeiior classes, and bearing in its train recruits from every profession, clerical, military, legal, literary, and'even senatoriali The answer is obvious— it arises from the nature and constitution of man, being a proof us well as- a consequence of free government; I a natural excess of that liberty which permits sentire qua; veils, fari qua; dentins. In such a government, where the community is large, there will he nu- merous candidates for place and power, and all cannot he successful. Disappointment will be expe- ieticed more or less in other pursuits ; aud as no one is willing to acknowledge deficiency in himself, lie is naturally disposed 10 account for failure on some other ground than his own ill fortune or ill conduct. Misgovernnieiit immediately presents itself as at once a pretext and consolation for miscarriage— a convenient butt for the arrows of malignity— an abundant receptacle for all the overflowings of angry and irritated minds. As discontent is naturally que- rulous, ns it requires little talent to find fault,, still less to vituperate, and least of all to falsify, he must he deficient iu judgment, indeed, who forms his estimate of the country's real stale from factious case, and of the power of committal given 10 Magis- trates under the Act.— Some discussion ensued, I rum clamour, from party journals, tumultuary meetings, which it appeared that the injustice complained of | reforming demagogues, and opposition orators Clje general STttrnpifie & tt. h nil the employments of life, eighbour abuses his brother !" BEGGAR'S OPERA. SIR,— Though it is impossible to admire, I can readily excuse, the temper in which " Gradus" was pleased to allude to me anil my communication in your last Journal. It is not my intention to retaliate iu a similar strain. True it is, few can boast of being . . " armed in panoply complete " Of heavenly temper;" but it behoves mankind, on almost every occasion of difference, to exercise the little good humour thev possess. Probably mine is but a small por- tion ; but I will now cull that little into action, by refraining from following the example which " Gradus" lias set, of making a display of the elegancies of our language. Indeed, did I inherit the will, 1 should be wanting iu power : for I con- fess myself not sufficiently erudite to cope with him in calling natti. es. In that pleasing art I acknow- ledge " Gradus" is a step above inc.— This, e: passant. Apology is certainly requisite, Mr. Editor, from a person who thus intrudes upon your columns, and before the public. I must trust to the candour of both for my excuse ; reminding each that the great arbiter of good breeding ( Lord Chesterfield) ac- knowledges two occasions when a person may speak of himself, namely, ill a Court of Justice, and in his own defence. " Having thus premised, I proceed. From the. fruit, which a tree bears, we judge of the species to which it belongs. The fruit which " Gt ad us" has put forth partakes more of the nature of the crab than the apple : though it is impossible to form a fair estimate of ils value, as, at present, it is oreen. When lie lavishes his kind encomiums upon me, I am bound to consider that he intends a joke: for they really are so flatlet ing, that I cannot receive them ! Jn your Inst Journal you were kind enough to permit me to rectify myself. " Gradus" was kind enough to rectify me too. In return, I now desire to rectify hint. After he has concluded his epistle, he enquires : " Did not ' B,' a few days ago, actually assist, hy his legal knowledge, a " certain Magistrate in the conviction of certain offenders, ' under the very clause of a Turnpike Act which has been repealed more than twelve months ago, namely, that of the 120th sect. 3d Geo. IV.?"— To this question, I beg leave, most distinctly, to answer— No ! It is unfortunate for " Gradus" that he proinulg- fd this question ; and why ? because it proves him guilty of an oversight, when it belfoved hiin, and when" he had it in bis power, to be most correct. An infected Physician should rather receive, than give, advice. It is a rule universally admitted, lhat the person who censures should be free from the fault \\$ condemns. Now, Sir, to convict " Gradus" out of his own mouth. He cites, in the body of his letter, the whole clause of the Act passed to amend the general one relating to Turnpike Roads, by which it is enacted that " from and after the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred and twenty three," the owner of every waggon, & c. shall have his name painted thereon, in the manner therein described. With this actually before his eyes, he proceeds to state that the old law, relative to this point, was repealed " more than twelve months ago." More than twelve months ago! when, in fact, this Amendment to the General Turnpike Act was passed iu the tatter part of July, one thousand eight hundred and twenty three, and the clause cited did not take effect until October following.* I should be glad to know, Sir, who now has " imposed upon your valuable columns ?" Where now lies the charge of " blindness ?" What becomes of all the " farrago" about the " blind leading the blind ?" Here is a man sins with his eyes open ! Well may I exclaim ( as he has set the example of resorting to the Poets)— " Can such things be regarded the petitioner was unfounded.— Mr. PFEL observed, that when the Act came to he re- newed, it was liis intention to introduce some modi- fications into it: at present, whether exposure were accidental or premeditated Ihe Act punished it alike ; this- would he altered - and some other alterations would likewise he made. Mr. STUART WORTLEY presented a petition fruni Barnsley against the Combination Law IRELAND. Lord ALTHORPE stated, that at a future time it was his intention to call the attention of the House to the slate of Ireland generally; and he now moved for various returns as to- the revenue of lhat kingdom — the residence of the established clergy, their glebe estates and other revenues, the extent of the parishes, & c.— and as ti> the execution of various laws af- fecting Rsninn Catholics. The several returns were ordered. Sergeant ONSLOW obtained leave to bring iu st bill for the repeal of the Usury Laws. Several notices of motions were given ; one by Mr. It EL as to a new bill for consolidating the Acts , „„ relative to Jurors; and another upon the subject of it appears to me, is only to be apprehended from a To obtain a" true knowledge of the actual situation and nature of things, he must lake a cool, patient, and comprehensive view of the whole ; to form a correct judgment of the British Government, he must exa- mine all its curious and complicated machinery, the harmonious operation of whose purls will surprise him much more than the occasional irregularity of a few movements. The great cause of astonishment to a sound and sober mind will be, that any who live under its protection, who have been horn within ils precincts, and whose attachment ought lo have been strengthened bv the impressions of early preposses- sion, should lie foolish or wicked enough to harbour sentiments derogatory to its fame, or subversive of its establishment. I am not one of those who feel serious alarm from the igjidions designs of the literary uiiderniiiier, or the more open attacks of the factious. The sterling weight of solid learning a" d sound talent is on the side of the constitution, and there is a steadiness of character in the British people which will, I trust, forever defeat the secret machinations of the pretended friend, as well as the undisguised enmity of the audacious aggressor. Real dange that it has been recognized by the State itself; and we humbly conceive that as against ihe right of the State tn annihilate or to injure iu any degree that property, such proof is conclusive. " It has been urged,, with a view of shaking the title lo - such property, that iu its origin it will be found to have been vitiated by acts of injustice or violence. We might ask, bow much of the properly uf your Majesty's subjects— property beld the most sacred— could show- a title in iu origin free from injustice or violence ? Whether your Majesty's title to those very colonies, though sanctioned hy treaties and recognized by the law of nations, could stand that test? Whether it could be shown that Ihe original occupation of those countries by the nations of Europe was sustained hy acts of cruelty or violence towards the native inhabitants? or how much of the landed property of Great Britain or Ireland could he retained by the present possessors, if such a title w ere required to be shown ? The general admission of this principle would shake property of all de- scriptions throughout your Majesty's dominions ; aud against a partial application of it to the pioperty of your Majesty's subjects in the colonies, we appeal in confidence to your Majesty, as the dispenser of equal justice to ali yonr subjects. " If the State considers that Ihe property of the West India planters in their slaves interferes with a great national object, it has a clear course, as in all cases where the properly of individuals interferes with a public object, by offering them a fair com- pensation for the surrender of their property. " If that object is oue which is required by a high moral duty, the same sense uf duty commands that it should be accomplished by the fair purchase of that property rather than by a forcible violation ef it. If the right to compensation he admitted in case of injury, but if it be maintained that the object can be accomplished without injury to liie planters, the State has also a clear course, bv offering a distinct pledge, aud making provision for a contingent com- pensation. If uo loss should be incurred, this will cost the State nothing. If the injury should be ' nflicted, it will he only the satisfaction of a claim revionsly admitted to be just. " On the other hand, a refusal to abide the issue f the test- will lie considered hy the planters as a tactical proof that their fears are felt to be well- founded, huweverthey may be asserted lo be ground- less. " We beg leave further humbly to represent to our Majesty, that tlie tranquillity ofall your Majes- iy's colonies has been disturbed, and the lives and properties of the inhabitants of those countries brought into imminent danger. " That the insurrection of the Negro slaves in your Majesty's colony of Denierara has not been suppress- ed without a sacrifice of lives and valuable property. " That an impression had, as it appears, been created in the minds of the Negro slaves in that colon v. that vour Maiestv and the British Parliament regulating Gaols. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. Mr. WESTERN ubtaiued leave to bring in a Bill to extend the qualification of Jurors, so that any person possessing <£ 100 in personal properly should be qualified- lo serve on county juries, whether he he a freeholder or not.— Mr. LOCKHAUT and Mr. PBBL, though Ihey did not object to the principle of the motion, were of opinion that any measure for alteriiu the constitution of juries, should be adopted with great caution. Mr. MARTIN obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Act against Cruelly to Animals ; lie then moved for leave to bring in another Bill to provide hat bear- baiting and other cruel sports might lie pre- vented, and also so that wanton cruelty to any animal should lie punished.— Mr. PEEL said, however li deprecated wanton cruelty of any species, he ulionld oppose legislating too nicely on tlii. s matter, for not only might hawking, shooting, and fishing, come nder the range of cruelty, but also every animal sport with which Ihe humbler classes recreate them- selves.— Mr. LOCKIIART observed that bear. bailing withdrew his motion, in order to amend it Mr. HUME, after commenting on the hardship and xpense attending the probates aud administrations of ivills, moved for various returns relative lo Ihe legacy duties, probates, administrations, & c. whicl were ordered. Mr. GOULBURN obtained leave to bring in a bill lo enforce the residence of the Clergy in Ireland. " Aud overcome us like a summer cloud, " Without our special wonder ?" I am aware, Sir, that this is not a circumstanc cavil about. But. it shews how far that person is to be relied upon, and how much he needs instruction, who comes forward with such " breathless haste," assurance, and pomposity, to instruct others ; while he himself distinctly shews, in his own case, how liable a person, who cursorily assumes his pen, having but a transitory object in view, is to over look what, at another period, would scarcely fail to strike his observation. As " Gradus" is partial to scriptural quotation, he perhaps will not quarrel with me for presenting Jiini with one:—" First cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then slialt thou sec clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother': eye." There is. one- art with which your Correspondent with all his acuteness and profound knowledge seems totally unacquainted—- the art of Satire Should he again attempt the terrible or satirical, I would remind hiin that his object can never he effected by lavishing the common places of " blind- ness" and " blockhead."—" Gradus.'" " Gradus .'" " Satire should, like a pointed razor, keen, " Cut with an edge that's scarcely felt or seen : " Thine is an oyster knife.'" A person who acts with pure intentions, who stands on just and proper grounds, will never be alarmed by the hissing of a squib, or the report of a pop- gun. " The breath of slander will never divert him from his purpose. He wards off' the arrows which are sent from the hand of spleen, while he laughs at the futile attempts of the archer. But should such a person, at any time, expect a reward ( applause for the goodness of bis intent), he must not look whence it cannot proceed— to shortsight. edness or meanness— but to judgment and liberality My opponent is as generous with his advice as with" his censure— two articles which, it must be confessed, mankind arc most willing to part with But it is odious to be in debt, and I will therefore endeavour to pay off'the score. Let" Gradus" beware of again presuming too far on the confidence of his own skill and dexterity— the ice breaks where the skaiter least expects it Instead of pomposity, let him display a little humi- lity. Let him substitute good- humour for malice, toil for wantonness, and politeness for vulgarity. But " Gradus" is scornful, and will not listen to me. Let him theu he mindful of the declaration of Mr. Justice Park : " I know I err sometimes, be cause I am human, and nothing that is human can escape error." And let him remember the words of a Royal Author: " Be not wise in thine ow eyes''-—" a haughty spirit goes before a fall" " B. FEBRUARY 11TH, 1S24. # The Magistracy ought to be obliged to " Gradus."

At a future opportunity, we shall lav some extracts from it before our readers ; we are sorry, however, to say, that this representation is of a far less gratifying nature than that which he has given uf Great Britain.] WEST INDIES. On Tuesday, a very - numerous and most respectable meeting of West India Planters, Merchants, Annu- itants, - and others interested in the British West India Colonies, was held at the City of London Tavern. The speeches made were, upon the whole, moderate; and several of the speakers admitted that an abolition of negro slavery ought to he wished for, coulM any had granted their enfranchisement, but that their masters withheld" it from them ; and that they had thus been stimulated to assert their freedom by vio- lence. in other colonies,, plans of insurrection have also been discovered, and a very disturbed spirit has become apparent among the Negro population as already provided against; and Mr. MARTIN I of fa'ir|. y" compensating the planters be dis- GREAT BRITAIN. [ FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,] Nations in many respects resemble private indivi- uals, and in nonetnore than this,— that those which pparently have most cause to he content, often exhibit the strongest symptoms of uneasiness and dissatisfaction. The poor man who can earn enough for his decent support, jogs on quietly through the vale of humble life, while those who seem to want nothing are frequently the prey of restlessness and discontent. I question whether the world, at any period, has been able to furnish such a living picture Great Britain now exhibits, of public and private of high cultivation, covered. The chairman, Mr. G. J. W. A. Ellis, M P read the following petition to the meeting, which was proposed by M » vG: V. Palmer, seconded by Mr, W. Taylor, M. P. and adopted with only one dis- sentient voice. The chairman is to present it to His Majesty either at a Levee, or hy such other means as he shall deem most- proper 44 TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The Humble Petition of the.

Where will he find such an aristocracy as that which the great landed proprietors of Great Britain present to his view? Where will he look for such a profusion of magnificent seats, or such a num- ber of munificent proprietors? Where will he behold such a description of tenantry as that which flourishes under the auspices of that noble and high- minded aristocracy? Where else is he to seek for a land which will shew him among her Esquires men who lmost look down upon Royal honours., and whose iride is, not to accept titles, hut to decline them ? Where will he find such a House of Peers, such au assembly of Representatives as are presetted to his view in both Houses of the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain?— Volumes, not pages, are required, for giving even a very brief detail of the several items which make up the sum- total of British in dustry, British power, and British prosperity. Years, not day « , would suffice id make a person acquainted with the immense extent and variety of her arts, her manufactures, her literary attainments, her culti- vated lands, and her commercial o ties; and did circumstances permit, I do not know how a man of curious and intelligent mind could for years be so delightfully and so instructively employed. All ihe rest of the world can not, the whole of the old world never could, boast such a throne, such a senate, such a country, and such a people ! Are we now to be told that this great country is ill governed, that her constitution is imperfect, and that her legislature wants reform ? I laugh at an assertion, of which every man, who enjoys only the sense of sight, must discern the palpable absurdity. Could such an empire have grown, can such a state of things he found, under an i( l government? Im- possible. Is it to be believed, that there exists any want of imperial protection, of wise administration, of legislative vigilance, in a country, the moral and intellectual character of whose people has attained the highest summit of honourable distinction, whose trade embraces the world, and the opulence and industry of whose private citizens enable them to Accomplish the most arduous undertakings, and to rival princes in generosity and magnificence? Im- possible. The defects, for defects will he found in every thing connected with humanity, are not in the system, but in those who would abuse it. I can readily understand that the country may he go- verned worse— I cannot easily conceive, with fail- allowance for mortal frailty, that it could be go- verned better. Will a wise man risk the stability of a form of government, capable of conferring Mich blessings, on the vain hope of renovating its strength, or enlarging its powers, by a change of system? Will he give up the conscious certainty of GOOO enjoyed, for the fallacious promise of theoretc per- fection? Would he do so, if the characters of the theorists were recommended by the highest excel- lence of moral principle, exemplary conduct, and benevolent intention ? and if liot, will he listen for a moment to counsellors of such character as the reform- ists of the present day generally possess?

The acquisition of it by devise has, been subjected, in some cases, to the legacy duty, the possession of it to the property- tax, and the transfer of it to the stamp duties; amongst which is that imposed upon slaves and their issue by the registry act, passed so recently as in the year 18 J 9. 14 In a word, the title of the muster to his slaves and their issue, has been as completely and as solemnly recognized by tbe law as the title of any of your Majesty's subjects to any other species of property. 44 We humbly conceive that in a case in which the parties are, the State on the one hand, and any class of your Majesty's subjects on the other, it cannot be necessary to prove any other title to property, than the case came within the statute of Elizabeth, as » desire to get a sight of her was such, that the roa£ an indirect contract, tainted with simony.— Judg- I was blocked up for neatly an hour, and the young ment affirmed. » lady was at length taken away in a gentleman's COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 11. THE KING V. R. S. COOKE AND OTHERS. This was a rule obtained last term by Mr. Camp- bell, for changing the venue in this indictment for conspiracy from Staffordshire to Middlesex, on the ground that one of the defendants claimed extensive lands in Staffordshire and all the adjoining counties, which were in possession of gentlemen liable to serve on special juries, and that libels, reflecting on the characters of the defendants, had appeared in the Staffordshire journals. Mr. SCARJLETT now showed cause against the rule, the grounds of which he described as utterly futile. The defendants had gone down to Stafford, claiming a barony, offering- to grant leases at low rents, cut- ting down trees, and exciting a mob in their favour by the boldness of their proceedings and the magni- tude of their promises. They now alleged, that they could have no fair. trial in any of the counties near Stafford, because one of them claimed large estates ; they did not even condescend to mention the counties where such estates lay, and much less to describe them; and vet this visionary claim, now stretched to undefinable limits, was supposed to operate on the minds of the gentlemen of several counties sworn to decide according to evidence in a criminal case in which the title could not come in issue!

VAGRANT ACT.— In moving for some Papers, in the House of Commons, on Wednesday last, for the purpose of showing what had been the operation of the Vagrant Act passed last Session, Mr. Little- ton ( M. P. for the county of Stafford) stated, lhat his honourable friend, Mr. Chetwynd ( M. P. for the borough of Stafford), in originating and obtaining that Act, had saved the counties of England and Wales the sum of £ 100,000 during the year, in ihe passing of Vagrants. NEW SETTLEMENT BILL— The manufactur- ing towns are beginning to move in opposition to Col. Wood's new Settlement Bill. It is known, lhat those countries has consequently been so much shaken, that the power of transfer has been nearly annihilated, and tiie value of the securities, on which many millions of money have been lent by yonr Majesty's subjects in Great Britain, has been equally * imiirished, and the credit of the planters, who had 1 ready been struggling under the pressure of long continued distress, has been so much impaired,, that ' t has become almost impossible to obtain a loan upon colonial security. Under these circumstances we lay ourselves at our Majesty's feet, and humbly pray that your Majesty will not, by the exercise of your Majesty's royal prerogative, in any manner sanction or au- thorise any acts which may impair the value of pro- perty in your Majesty's colonies, so repeatedly and so solemnly recognized by your Majesty, your Royal predecessors, and the Parliament of Great Britain, unless a fund should be previously provided for fair and sufficient compensation. 44 We further humhly pray your Majesty to be graciously pleased to adopt such measures as to your Majesty may appear best calculated to remove the exaggerated expectations of the Negroes, and to allay the well- founded fears of the white inhabitants in the colonies, so as to restore a tranquil and con- tented spirit in those countries, and to re- establish the just value of colpnial property, aud confidence ' n its security. 44 And your petitioners will ever pray, & C. 1 ward, and crossed the lower part of Cartmel parish, came round again by Linda!, through Witherslack, and visited Lythe ; it then took a new direction to 8UUJ.

The eleven Judges of the three Courts, Mr. Justice Richardson lieing absent by illness, sat on Saturday in the Chamber adjoining the Court of King's Bench, to hear the objections to the indictment upon which Joseph Dale was tried and convicted at Chester for the murder of William Wood. Mr. Jones argued upon Ihe objections. The first objection was that the prisoner, with two others indicted, were charged with throwing stones, with- out mentioning any number. The second was, that and over Helsington Barrows again, not far from the Race course; it then took the direction nf Bradley Field, and pushed forward to Cunswick Farm. We are heartily sorry to add here, that fresh do/ js hod last number of the Retrospective Review, which we may say, by the way, is a very good one, there is ail extremely interesting sketch of the life of this worthy worshipper of Mammon, from which we glean tbe following anecdotes " After sitting up a whole night to plav for thou- sands, with Ihe most fashionable and profligate men of the time, amidst splendid rooms, gilt sophas, wax lights, ami waiters attendant on his call, he would walk out about four in the morning, not towards hotne, but into Smithficld! to meet his own cattle, which were coming from Tbaydon- hall, a farm of his in Essex.

The fourth oh- s° ns ( including the corporation), staling their jection was, that the indictment charged, " did cast 1 decided disapprobation of races being established and throw with stones," instead of " did cast and 1 in the vicinity of Leeds, believing that such throw stones.' Mr. Justice Holroyd referred to Dr. Johnson as giving a neuter sense to those verbs, as well as a transitive, and instanced " throwing wilh dice" playing backgammon. Mr. Jones submitted that the transitive was the natural and strict sense of the words, nnd therefore the only oue to he given in an indictment for murder. If then this was the strict sense the word with must he struck out. But if the omission of the word with could not he supplied, neither could its insertion be erased. There had been a case in York, iu which Mr. Justice Chambers held that the omission of with was fatal. It was an indictment for murder, iiponn Coroner's Inquest, and it charged that tbe prisoner " did assault him ( the deceased) and a poker did beat, & c." The Judge held Ihe charge was, that the prisoner did strike the poker. The last objection was, lhat if the parts objected to were struck out, there was no distinct, definite, or direct charge against the prisoner. The Lord Chief Justice said they would report their opinions upon the objections to his Majesty ; and ordered Counsel to withdraw. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 9. FOX V. THE BISHOP OF CHESTER ( IN ERROR). This was a Writ of Error from the Palatine Court of Chester, upon a judgment of that Court on a writ of quare impedit, touching the disturbance of the plaintiff's patronage in a church living to which he had presented an incumbent. The question arose upon the construction ot the 31st Elizabeth, c. 6, s. 5, against simouiacal contracts. In substance the case was, that a Mr. Bradshaw, being the incumbent nf Ihe living in question, but afflicted with a mortal disease, Mr. Trafford, the patron, in consideration of the sum of six thousand pounds, agreed to sell the plaintiff Ihe next presentation, and in pursuance of the agreement, executed a deed, by which be conveyed theadvowson for 99 years. The incum- bent, with knowledge of the parties, that he was measure would be highly injurious to the murals and industry of the people. provincial anO iWscellanecusi.

He was at the very moment worth five hun- dred thousand pounds. " The debates iu 178:! were very long and interest- ing, and generally continued till a lute hour in the evening. Mr. Elvves,( he was member for Berkshire,) who never left any company, public or private, the first, always stayed out ihe whole debate. After the division, Mr. Elwes, without a great coat, would im- mediately go out of the House of Commons into the cold air, and, merely lo save the expense of a hack- ney coach, walk to the Mount Coffee- house. A cir- cumstance happened to him on one nf these evenings, which gave liitn a whimsical opportunity of display- ing that disregard of bis own person which I have before noticed.

ELOPEMENT AND HAPPY UNION.— At a quarter past 11 oil Sunday night last, Mr. F. Robertson ( nephew to Mr. Robertson, Manager of the Lincoln Company of Comedians) and Miss Tindall, only child and heiress of Joseph Tindall, Esq. of Greenbill, Grantham, started from the latter place on a trip to Gretna Green. The young lady took a lover's leap out of Ihe window of lier father's house into the artns of her swain. A carriage was in waiting, and away they drove to consummate an ardent attachment of seven years' standing. The lady was not missed until the breakfast hour on Monday. At about ten o'clock, afflicted with a mortal disease at the time of the I her father, accompanied by a gentleman who is contract, soon afterwards died, and the Bishop re- fused to induct on the plaintiff's presentation, upon the ground lhat the contract wassimoniacal and void, bv the Statute above- mentioned. The Bishop in the suit below craved oyer of, and set out the deed, by which the advowson was conveyed to the plaintiff'for 99 years, and it was alleged, that inasmuch as the parties to the contract knew the then incumbent was afflicted with a mortal disease, the transaction was simoniacal, and within Ihe words of the Statute, which declares, " that if any person shall for any sum of money, directly or indirectly, present any person to any benefice, such presentation shall be utterly void." This case was argued last Michaelmas ! ferm, and now judgment was delivered hy the Lord Chief Justice, affirming the decision of the Court below, on tbe ground, that although the living was full at the time of the contract, yet inasmuch as the incumbent was afflicted with a mortal disease, with knowledge on the part of the persons contracting, said to wear the willow, set off in a chaise and four in pursuit; but as the young couple had ten hours and a half start, they arrived uninterruptedly at the Tenlple of Hymen beyond the borders, und were united indissolubly at two o'clock on Tuesday morning. The happy pair were expected back at Grantham yesterday, lo receive the congratulations of their numerous friends, and the acknowledgment and benediction of the bride's forgiving and wealthy father.— Stamford Mercury, A curious scene presented itself on Saturday afternoon about four o'clock, at Knighlsl in conscqiicnce of a post. chaise having been stopped by two gentlemen, in w hich were a young lady and a gentleman ; from the conversation ami warmth of the parties, the populace soon under stood lhat Ihe young lady had eloped from her home it) Charlotte. strcet, Rathbone- place, and the Old Elwes at length submitted, and an apothecary was called'in, who immediately began to expatiate oil 4 the bad consequences of breaking the skin— the good fortune of his being sent for— aud the peculiar bad appear- ance of Mr. Elwes's wound.' 4 Very probably,** said old Elwes, ' but Mr. , I have one thing to- say to you— iu my opinion tny legs are not much hurt; now you think they are-- so I will make thin agreement;' I will take one leg, aud you shall take- Ihe other; you shall do what you please with yottr's, and I will do nothing to mine ; and I will wager your bill that my leg gets well the first ' — I have fre- quently heard him mention, with great triumph, that he heat the apothecary by a fortnight."

I The report of the trial appeared, not only in the I Staffordshire papers, hutiu every paper in England; 1 so that the arguments of the defendant would prove I that they ought not lo he tried at all. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it was quite absurd to ask for the change of the venue into Middlesex, ] 130 miles from the place where the witnesses lived, | Surely the case might be tried in on adjoining I county. Mr. CAMPBELL said he hoped the Court would 1 direct a trial in Middlesex under Ihe circumstances, especially as there was a plea of Peerage, which the I Court had refused to quash.

Ou [ Saturday morning last, the Underburrow dogs un- 1 kennelled a fox upon Whilbnrrow in Lytlie, which look a direcl. eourse over Carttnel Fell, turned south- I by the operation of this bill, paupers who have been domiciled or resident principally iu one place iu each year for ihe space of fifteen years, on tbe 1st August, 1824, would obtained a settlement in that place; that on the 1st of August, 1825, fourteen years' residence would confer the same privilege; and so decreasing a year every successive August, till, in liie year 1838, only one year's residence would be required. Tlie consequence of this Bill would be, to afford considerable relief to the agri- cultural parishes from the pressure of the poor- rales, at Ihe expense of the manufacturing and commercial I districts. lu Leeds, for instance, a balance of 500 additional poor families would probably become set- tled from the 1st of August next, and that number would be increased every year, till al length prelty nearly Ihe whole population would belong to the tow nship. This is a change in Ihe law so important I as to affect al! assessihle property ill the tnanufaclur- 1 ing towns to a large amount, and to excite the well- I grounded apprehensions of Ihe parishioners. Tlio I principle of a certain term of residence, say ten or j fifteen years, entitling a poor family to a settlement in I the pariah iu which they have spent their best days, I we have strenuously advocated ; but this graduated J scale would destroy that principle, or al least render I it nominal. Its adoption, hy giving every pauper an j opportunity of choosing his own parish, would uiore- I over he very prejudicial to the poor themselves ; I every parish, that liad the reputation of being liberal j to the poor, would, be crowded with emigrant setr | tiers, and to avoid the consequence of this pressure, no parish would have that character. Nothing but hard- licartedness in the parish officers could save their township from ruin, nnd not only Ihe new I settlers, but the old. system.
