HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY^ Mr. PEEL obtained leave to bring- in a bill to • amend t. li* Gaol Act of last Session. One of tiie amendments wbicb lie proposed'tb introduce was, to give to'local Magistrates the power of ccfmmit- ting- prisoners to the county gaol at once, instead of to the district prisons. He was convinced that the snore this practice was reduced the better; and k would he still more advantageous if there were only, one gaol in- each county,, to'whicli all prisoners should be committed. The uniformity of discipline t'iint prevailed in county gaols could never be, attained in smaller prisons; while any abuses which crept into the former would be more readily discovered and corrected. Another clause, would declare, that prisoners ought not to be kept to b& rd labiMiiv be/ we ( mil. The Right Hon. Gent, con- cluded by defending the: application of the Tread- mill, which on the whole he considered to be an a. d. m'irable contri vance, and tiiat no system of labour could be devised so little'liable to abuse. The Right Hon. Secretary also introduced, after a short discussion, a bill to consolidate the Jury Laws. Mr IV. LAI\ IB thought the present system worked so well lhat it might safety be left to its ancient form. — A division of the House took place on a motion by Mr. GRATTAN for some returns relative to offices held by Catholics in Ireland, but it was Opposed by Mr GOULBURN and Mr. PEEL, and negatived by 38 to II. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. . In a Committee of Supply, Lord PALMERSTON broug- ht forward the. Army Estimates for the year.

This augmentation, ; which would make the total force of the kingdom 73,041 men. and officers, was solely and simply occasioned by the state of the West India Islands.— Mr. HUME, on the contrary, proposed a reduction of 10,000 men, and. divided with nine adherents against a majority of 10- 2.

The Gazette of Saturday contains a notification that hostilities have commenced against the Regency of Algiers, io consequence of the Dey having refused to make reparation to the British Consular " Flag, and having expressed his determination" to, recede from the terms of a treaty by which he had bound himself, not to retain any christian captives, of any nat ion, in a stale of slavery. The Hon. Captain Spencer, of the Naiad, was directed, with the brig Camelion, to proceed to Algiers, to make, in conjunction with the British Consul at that Regency, a remonstrance against some late proceedings of the Dey, but the nego- tiation terminating unsatisfactorily, the Consul struck his flag, and embarked on board his Majesty's ship. — Afterwards meeting w ith an Al- gcritie corvette, Captain Spencer fell it, under his instructions, his duty to attack her. She was immediately laid on board and captured by the Camel ion, when the Captain bad the satisfaction to find that he had rescued seventeen Spaniards, whom the ASgerine was Carrying into slavery. This news had of course no effect upon our funds, as it is impossible to suppose that any thing unfavourable to England can result from the con- duct of the Dey.— He will soon be brought to • better mauneis.

Several petitions were presented, many of them, praying for a repeal of the Coal Duties, aud Alder- man WOOD gave notice that on a future day, he should move for a Committee on the subject.— Mr. - LITTLETON said the repeal of these duties miist, if adopted, be gradual, or the inland collieries would be ruined : he hoped the matter would be fully and deliberately investigated. r inance of the Country, A The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose, J^ and moved that the House should go into a Com- mittee on the Four per Cents. The Right Hon. ]' Gent, then proceeded to state his Finance for the ^ Year, and, in doing so, recapitulated the statement ^ ( which ban already been before the country) of the Income and Expenditure of the present year, hy || which he said he anticipated the surplus of |( £ 7,000,000 or thereabouts, from which, however, was to he deducted t' 5,?' 00,000, to be appropriated ^ to the payment of the National Debt,— nnd on the (| whole, there would be left a surplus of £ 1,652,000, '( j to. be appropriated by Government with the sane- ^ tiou of the House. He would now proceejl to take a review of his Estimate of last year, and the real j produce of the present. He estimated the Customs v at 10* millions— they had produced 11* millions. f The Excise had not'come up to his estimate; he } J had made the estimate 28 millions. Tbe produce had been £ 25,342,000 ; but this falling- off had been j in consequence of £ 130,000 allowed upon the malt a duty returns, £ 380,000 upon hop duties not re- J ccived, and upon the alteration in the distillery (| laws of Ireland and Scotland. He was happy to j say, however, that the consumption of exciseable | articles had greatly increased, which shewed, the ? prosperity of the country, and the increased ubility of the lower classes of persons to indulge ill those [ commodities. He would now proceed to state the J Ways aud Means for the next year. He took . the Customs at £ 11,500,000. the Excise al £ 25,£>' 25,000. The Stamps, Assessed Taxes, Land Tax, &. C. as they stood in the last year. The Right Hon. Gent, then proceeded to advert to the Austrian Loan, which he said he considered as a God- send, and therefore he, was persuaded the House would not beg udge to apply it to some objects which otherwise it would he difficult to effect. Amongst them he should, in the course of the session, propose £ 500,000 for New Churches; £ 300,000 for the repair of Windsor Castle—£ 150,000 during the present year, and £ 75,000 fpr the two following yogi's. He should also propose to take, a certain sum for the King's Library ; upon which subject much discussion arose last year. Every one seemed of opinion that the building thus to be erected should be worthy of the state of the Arts in this country. He had to state to the House that an opportunity had occurred of purchasing, for the decoration of this building, the Gallery of Pictures belonging to the late Mr. Angerstein, at the sum of 00 or £ 7'>, 000. He should therefore propose to take a vote for that stun also out of the Austrian loan. He had now another subject to advert to, re- lative to the Committee in which the House now was, viz. the Four per Cents. Last Session a measure was proposed for paying off the Fives : and those persons who objected to take Four, were to dissent.; but in the present case by Act of Parliament, a notice of six months must be given of paying off. He should therefore propose to give ihat notice, adding to it, that any persons who would, within six weeks from the date of the notice, signify their readiness to take J00 in Three and a Half per Cents, for the £ 100 of Four per Cents, might do so ; such Three and a Half per Cents, not • to be payable iu less than 5 years from the present period, by which these New Three and a Half per Cents, would become payable at the same period with the present existing Three and a Half per Cents. The amount of Four per Cents, in England aud Ireland were about £ 70,000,000; aud even supposing that one- fourth should dissent from re- ceiving, that would leave about £ 17,00'), 000 to be provided for by October.

Medical assistance was procured immediately, and the poor man lingered till Tues- day. Verdict—• Accidental Death. The deceased has left a wife and six children. IJCIIIJ UMtUHIO, « « V « • « .. JVV, - murderous blow at John Jones, in Liverpool, on the evening of Monday the 9th instaut ( see 4th j> age), has been full committed to Lancaster casile for trial. His two associates have not yet been heard of. A boy, calling himself George Hampton, ap- parently about fifteen years of age, and pretending to he deaf and dumb, was last week forwarded by a Guardian of the Poor of the town of Cheltenham to Birmingham, having applied to him for assistance to proceed to the Institution at Edgbaston, iu which, he stated, he had been instructed, and whence he had been placed out as an apprentice, hut that he had been compelled ro leave his master, who lived at Bristol, on account of ill treatment. The individual to whom he related his tale, not only personally relieved him, but very prudently addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Charity at Edgbaston, entering into full particulars of the hoy's statement. It was nt once evident that some imposition had hern practised, no lad of the name having belonged to the Asylum there; as soon, therefore, as he was found, he w> is questioned closely upon the subject by the Secretary and by a leading Member of the Com- mittee ; he then shifted his ground, declaring lhat he belonged to the Institution in London, from which he had run away five days previously, after hat- jug heen there upwards of seven years. From the boy's' manner and conduct, little doubt of imposture re- maining, he was taken to Birmingham prison, where he again underwent a rigorous examination,, during which, the utmost presence: of mind, aided hy a knowledge of the manual alphabet used by the deaf and dumb in conversing, he foiled every attempt both of Mr. Braidwood and those w ho felt interested iu detecting the fraud. In the mean time a letter passed between the Secretary of the Birmingham Institution and Dr. Watson of the London Asylum, which, as was expected, falsified his assertions in that quarter. The efforts were then renewed, and after great, exertion, backed by the threat of instant punishment iu case of refusal, he managed to display the faculty both of hearing and speech. He then acknowledged himself to he a native of Dublin, and brought up to the business of a weaver. He appears an active, clever lad, and writes with considerable facility, an attainment which has materially aided him in his deception. He remains iu confinement, and will, no doubt, meet the punishment his im- position deserves.— This artful young rascal was in Shrewsbury about three mouth-; ago,- when he suc- ceeded in imposing upon several respectable aud beiipvnlent. individuals. lrjr.

S my the Owen, Esq. S H R E VVSB U R Y On Thursday last, the numerous tradesmen of the. Coudover Family residing in t. hjs town dined together at the Lion Inn, to celebrate the recent M a rriA ge o f Ed w a r d . Wi lit am S m y. t H E ny. JEJ& JJ. ;. , on which occasion tlie - day was spent in the most j chearful and convivial manner. rl he diun'ei-^ which was produced in the best style of excellence, was followed by the toasts of His Majesty ;" 44 The Duke of York and the Army ;" 44 The Duke of Clarence and the Navy ;" 44 The Lord Lieutenant of the County ;" and 44 The High Sheriff of the County." The health of the Happy Couple was next proposed, and received with tiie highest tes- timonials of respect, and on Which occasion the Chairman observed, that in rising to propose a toast so intimately connected; with, the object of the meeting, he could not but entertain the gratifying hope that the happy eyent of Mr. and Mrs Smythe Owen's recent union, which they were assembled to. celebrate, would be the means ot' continuing to posterity, the ancient and venerated name'of OV£ J| N. It must be within the knowledge of all present, that this most honourable and respected Family had for. ages past been uniformly resident in the imme- diate vicinity of Shrewsbury ; and whilst its indi- viduals had, by their excellent example, promoted the comforts and blessings of a social intercourse among- st the neighbouring gentry, the town. of Shrewsbury in particular had largely participated in the benefits resulting from the dissemination of a great portion of its patronage and wealth'. There cun . be no doubt but tnat ihe trading inhabitants of the town might anticipate a continuation of those advantages, and he could not but venture,- to assure himself that the present party Would cordially unite in their congratulations to' the Happy Pairon this occasion, and heartily pledge him in a bumper to the long life and health of Mr. Smythe Owen and his Lady, and in wishing them the fullest enjoyment of every domestic comfort and happi- ness. This toast was received with the liveliest emotions of pleasure; and was followed by a succession of toasts of the healths of the several relations of the Lady and Gentleman, and of the surrounding families. A number of excellent sono- s contributed to enliven the day; and the whole passed off with the greatest enjoyment ahd hilarity . vvmnuni. On Thursday last the village of WESTBURY- pre- seated a scene of festivity. The inhabitants met to celebrate the Marriage of their landlord, E. VV. Smythe. Owen, Esq. and to testify their respect for. the ancient House of Condover. Mirth aud good humour were the order of the day, which the joyful sound of the village bells tended to increase. A • large quantity of excellent beef was given to the poor, in proportion to their respective families. The tenants dined together ; and after theeloth was, drawn, the following bumper toasts ( among others) went round, and were drank with 3 times 3 : — " Mr. and M'rs'..

The evening concluded w ith a Ball, which was kept, up with great spirit until'long after daylight the next morning ; when the parties sepa- rated, highly pleased with the happy event which had drawn them tog- ether,- and with the day's entertainments. The following was composed and sung on the occasion : SONG, On the Marriage of Mr. Smythe Owen. Young Lo it! on his ram hies met Hymen one day, His garland was fresh, and his spirits were gay, His eye beaui'd with pleasure, each motion was gV. jce, And. lovely the smile was that plav'd o'er his face. Dear Hymen, said he, your assistance I want ; The best of your favours to me you must grant; Your torch must be ready when Love shall invite, And constant and pure be the flame that you light. | Your torch, & e. For OWEN thy altar attends with his BRIDE, • Aud Honour with Virtue shall now be allied'; To deck the espousals. my treasures I'A bring-, And offer as incense the odours of spring > From Flora's fair garden a wreath we'll entwine, The Lily's pure white with the Rose shall combine ; To these, when the Myrtle its verdure imparls, The chaplet an emblem will be of their hearts. To these, & c. Fair Puritiy first does tbe Lily disclose ; , The warmth of A ffection is seen in the Rose ; The evergreen Myrtle, I think we shall find, Is Constancy's emblem, unchangingly kind. Said Hymen, with joy to your pleasure I yield ; The wishes of Love shall by me be fulfil Pa ; And time, as it rolls, shall our efforts increase, To crown them with happiness, plenty, and peace. And time, ike. " CONDOVER, LYTH- HILL, & c.

A most curious Ring was some time ago dis covered near the foundation of an old building that formerly belonged to Roman Catholic Priesls near Llanfyllin. It will fit a finger a little larger than the ordinary size; its construction and the workmanship upon it are ratber peculiar. It is surrounded on the outside hy ten pelleted knobs of the size of a small pea, and one larger one of a different construction, upon which is carved the sign of the cross, which, if used as a seal, makes a beautiful and elegant impression. It has the | appcarance of the best gold ; and the length of time which it has evidently been in the earth, without sustaining the least injury, with the opinion of some metallurgists who have examined it, concur in pronouncing it to be so. Some, how- ever, think it lo consist of a composition of pla- tiua ( or some other metallic substance) with gold. It is, at all events, a very valuable piece of auli- \ quity, and would be highly rated by some an- tiquarian, It is now in tbe possession of Mr. D. Williams, solicitor, LlanfyUin. In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr. Pelham presented a Petition from Wrexham, on the, subject of the Coal Duties. , On Wednesday se'nnigbt, the Ostler of the Inn at Llandyssil, Cardiganshire, was unfortunately drowned in the river Tivy, by venturing too far with some horses to wash, which, with himself, were carried away by ihe impetuosity of the stream. The unfortunate man, perceiving that the owner of the horses was unacquainted with the river, volunteered to take them in, remarking that he was better acquainted with the shallows ; but the result fatally proved that he was not suffici- ently acquainted with them himself. A few days since, as some labourers were digging sand, on the lands of W. Tennant, Esq. tiearShen- stone, Staffordshire, they discovered, at the depth of eight or nine feet from the surface, in a grave hewn out of the sand rock, a human skeleton, with that of a boar's head, and some parts of a coffin not wholly decayed; about three feet from the grave they found an earthen vessel or urn filled with ^ variety of curious instruments, a few of which are accurately described in Shaw's History of Staffordshire, plate A, page 11, lst vol, and are marked No. 4, 10, 11, 12; of the rest the writer has seen no account. Many circumstances induce the belief that they are British, and that some High Priest of the Druids must have been buried there. The place in which they were found is an elevated spot on the confines of Druid Heath, and centrally situated between tvvo points, which tradition has designated as the summer and winter residences of an Arch Druid. Among the instru- ments of which the writer has seen no account, may he reckoned the sacrificing knife and censers: indeed, the whole of them appear lo have reference only to religious rites and ceremonies. \*|/ TANTS a Situation as BAILIFF, Y T a Married Man, between Thirty and Forty Years of Age, whose Family is small; and whose Wife would superintend the Dairy .— Letters ( Post- paid) addressed to X.

The Committee for the Management of the Patri- otic Fund, consider, that as twenty Years hqve elapsed since the Formation of the Institution at the Commencement of the late War, ample Time has now been allowed to carry into Effect all the Purposes for which it was originally established, and, that the Time has at length arrived, which renders it proper to name a definite Period for the Admission of such Claims as have not yet been preferred: accordingly, the Committee now give Notice that 110 Claims whatever 011 the Fund will be admitted, after the 20th of July of the following Year, 1824. And, that the Purport of the preceding Notice may not be misunderstood, it is considered neces- sary, distinctly to state, that Applications must be Strictly limited to the Widows and Children of those Soldiers and Seamen who were killed, and to those who were disabled from Wounds received in Action, during- the late War, which commenced in 1803, and terminated in 1815, also including the Bombardment of Algiers, and who have never received any Benefit from the Patriotic Fund.

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 within eight Miles of the Place) for upwards of 60 A'ears last past. If vou 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, aud Ihe Hundreds of Clun, Purslow, Cliirbury, Ford and Munslow, will be iu the Jurisdiction of tbe Bishop's Castle Coroner. This would be attended with a great Expense to vour County, as, out of the 75 Inquests held by Mr ' WHITCOMBE during his Coronership of 5 Yean only, 7 have been held on the other Side of Bridg north, and which were in the Parishes of Rud Claverley, and Morville. Mr JONES informs you that my Residence is upon <) ie' Confines of the County ; for which Reason I have come forward , and with what Success will he " seen at the Day of Poll. If he will look to Baugh': Map of the County, he w ill find where the othe three reside. For what Purpose would it he to appoint your Coroner iu the Centre of your County or in a District where olhcrs are already exercising • that Right within their Jurisdiction. I am sorry to see that Mr, JONES, in It is Address makes so light of the Office for which lie is ; Candidate. If he will, for one Moment, consider the « reat Importance and serious Duties of the Office lie will find that il is not attained with that Practical Knowledge which he may possess ; but that the very Old Law Books ( of Waste Paper Value, as lie says) are the grand and Golde. i Laws for'a Coroner, and if be does not know nnd under- stand them, he must be yery unfit for such an Office. It has not been in my Power to personally can- yass the whole of the Freeholders throughout this Countv ; but I hope that those that 1 have not seen, ^ alcs auction.

That tn 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. Uuifreville's and other Treatises on the Subject, are found to be fully equal to the Duties of the Office.

For the following remarks oil this very important <| oeStioii, wc are indebted to that excellent pa per TjieJS'ew Times. We cordially sympathize with our able and conscientious contemporary in the ; view he has taken of. this subject, and consider that at a time when a powerful portion of the periodical press is actively employed in advocating slavery and writing down the tread- mill, too much publicity Cannot well be given to his manly Protest. There is one question, to tiie Parliamentary dis- cussion of which we look forward with anxiety, I. s, on account of its real difficulties, than of the spirit of bitterness and titiiiiiosiiy with which it lias for some time past been agilajed — we need scarcely add, that we speak til' the West- India (' onlrorois:/' '> » 111 the debate of the loth of last May, Mr. Canning, in lllf name of all bis Majesty's Ministers, moved Ibe following Resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to by the, House of Oonnnous :— 1. That it is expedient to adopt effectual and decisive measures for meliorating the condition of tbe Slave population in bis Majesty's Colonies. 2. That through a determined and pehevering, but at the same lime judicious and temperate enforce- ment of such measures, this Hons* looks forward to progressive iuipiovement in Ihe character of the Slave population, such as may prepare them for a participation in those civil rights and privileges which are enjoyed hy other classes of his Majesty's subjects. 3. That this House is anxious for the accomplish, inent of this purpose at the earliest period thai shall be compatible with tiie well- being of the Slaves themselves, with the safety of the Colonies, and with afairand equitable consideration. of the interests of private property. Upon the face of these Resolutions, they are alike honourable to the Government that proposed, and t « Ibe Legislature lhat sanctioned them ; Ihey unite the cautious moderation, of experience, with a sincere and cordial attachnfcui to liberty : and yet they have ever since been made the oiiject of claiiiouroui.

Strongly impressed as we were, from the beginning, in favour of the Resolu- tions, we have nevertheless paid a most dispassionate attention to all thai has been urged on the other side. We shall liaidly be accused of any propensity to court popular opinion, merely as such; still " less have we ever shewn ourselves insensible to tbe dangers attendant ou popularenthusiasui; but when, upon the most mature deliberation, we are satisfied that a certain course of policy must . ultimately lead to the incalculable benefit of our fellow men and fellow subjects, we owe it to the public to state thai con- viction plainly, and to follow it out into all its legitimate consequences. What is ihe tnje slate of tbe question ! We have in tbe Westlndiesand their vicinity about sixteen or seventeen Colonial Establishments, containing about Eight Hundred Thousand inhabitants, of Whom be- tween fourteen and fifteen sixteenths aie held in a state of absolute slavery, and by far tile greater ma- jority in Pagan ignorance and superstition.

Capital Navy and other Timber. exists, aud has wrought itself by time into the habits a lid cusinms of society, great care and caution must lie exercised in eradicating it : bat here are persons that bug the disease, and pride themselves on the scandal and the shame, and wish lo entail it on suc- ceeding generations, and feel surprise and regret at the prospect qf its ultimate extinclion. Surelv senti- ments of this monstrous kind ought lo have been cxT pressed in some other than the English tongue ! As soon as a Slave touches the soil of Britain he i| free. Lei us at least hope ibe time may come when the same principle shall he applied to every pail, ot- itis Majesty's dominions. It is a remark as old as Homer, that ihe loss of freedom lakes awav half the value of a man ; & by parity qf reasoning the giving of freedom will double the value of so large a num- ber of British subjects. This is easily to* ho proved on the common principles of political economy ; but we may surely look a little further, and form an esti- mate of the benefits of improved civilization, the en- ergy of freedom, and tlie blessings of Christianity. We are told, however, that there are obstacles iu the way of this improvement, and we readily grant it ; buLtbey are not insuperable. Tbe Ne » ro, it is contended, is of inferior race to the European, and cannot atlain the menial excellencies of tile hulcr. Alas ! the wisest of us all knows little of tbe sources of mental capacity ; and if you cannot tell me how Newton differed iu i| ie organization of his brain from a ploughman, how will you be able to prove that the organization of the Negro was inferior to either? The Negroes have been for jges kept tn a slate of barbarism and degradation ; it is only in our own day thai they have begun tn make advances toward free and civilized life; and the abilities which many of tlieni litjye displayed, both at Hayti aud Sierra Leone, afford perhaps more than hope of their future ad- vance iu talent and ability. A most serious and pressing difficulty, and that on which the advocates of perpetual slavery rest, is tbe danger ol a_ sudden convulsion which might deprive us of our Colonies at once. On the one band, they say the very agitation of the present question has already produced a tremendous insurrection in De- nierura, a conspiracy at Jamaica, and will end in a bloody revolution like that of St. Domingo. Tbe loss which siich ao event would produce lo Great Britain would no doubt be incalculable; it would annihilate a vast portion of our commerce, produce great distress here, and reduce the Colonies themselves to a scene of horror. Bill thisdangerwe regard as in a great measure visionary. Scattered as our settlements are, and inadequate as are the means of combination among the slaves of any one island, there is little chance that they could ever get the better of the local militia and garrisons united. What has been called an insurrection in Denlerarn, was a disturbance of a • incut** character! The slaves, those ferocious re. HEREFORDSHIRE. Pud! fist on Court, near Leominster.

This is a painful subject, but we fear we shall have to revert lo it hereafier. On ibe other hand, it has been suggested that ( he planters themselves may throw oil' their allegiance ; and it must be owned tli. eir language is very menac- ing-, bill it must he remembered, that they have often before used the same lotty tone. They did so durino- tlie whole struggle for the Abolition of the Slave Trade ; and they were almost, if not quite, as violent on tbe Registry Act. We have, however, too good an opinion of their prudence and judgment, to apprehend that they will act in the manner lhat sonic of their advocates here seeiji to suppose. The slightest attempt qu their part lo detach themselves from Great Britain would be their certain destruction; aud of this they are well aware. Some allowance must he made for the momentary irritation under which they labour; were it not tor that, govern- ment would lie justified in regarding them as having acted with that contumacy which, as Mr. Canning Stilted, would form a case for the further consider- ation of Parliament. From this general view of the subject, although we do not doubt that his Majesty's Ministers will pro- ceed with the most camions attention to the li ne interests of the planters, yet we persuade ourselves lhat both the government and legislature adhere lo their declared resolution of ameliorating the con- dition of the slaves, will) a view lo preparing ihen. for an ultimate slate of ( icedoui.

IMPORTATION OF CORN. TO Tins EDITOR Of THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. SIR,— Having seen; in various of the London ami- Pioviueiai Papers, articles purporting to lie correct summaries of the law for regulating the importation of Foreign and British- Colonial Corn, but winch, on comparing them with the Act, 1 have found lo be move ur " less inaccurate, and the sub- ject being one of vital importance lo the Farming Interests uf the Kingdom, 1 have been induced to frame the following ample and correct summary of the regulations for Importation as fixed by the Slatule 3d Geo. IV. cap. GO, which, I have no doubt, will he interesting to your numerous Agri- cultura'. nadirs*. The tilst clause in tbe Act of 3d Geo. IV. cap, ( SO, after reciting the Act passed in 1815, " and that it is expedient to repeal the same," enuc'ts— " ' Ihat atsoon as Foreign IVheat shall have been admitted for home consumption under the provisions of Ihe said Act ( 1815), the scale of prices at which the home consumption of Foreign Corn, See. is per- mitted by the said Act, shall cease and aeternilue." The pints of Great Britain cannot, therefore, be opened for Foreign Grain, untif the Aggregate Average shall be iclurued at or above, the follow, lug- prices per quarter:— Wheat, 80s. Bye 53s. Barley 40s. Oats 27s. For Colonial or British- American Grain, Ihe ports will be opened when the Aggregate Average of Lrilish Corn shall be al, or above, the following prices per quarter: — Wheat G? s. Rye 44s. Barley 33s, Oals 22s By section 2 of Ihe Act 3d Geo.

Rye 46*. Barley 35s, Oals 25s. On the Foreign Corn so to be admitted for home- consumption, Duties become payable on the following scale:— WHBAT. — If under 80s. 12s. per quarter, and also for the three first months after the ports shall be opened an additional duty of* 5s.; total duty, 17s.— If at or above 80s. but under 85s. 5s. and for the first three months an additional duty of 5s.; total duty His. — At or above fc5s.

As the ports cannot, in the first instance, he opened to Foreign Grain until the Average of Wheat shall be 80s. Rye 53s. Barley 40s. and Oats 27s.* per quarter, the importing prices of such Grain, when our ports shall first be opened, will be equivalent lo Ihe following prices of British Com per quarter :— WHEAT. — 80s. ; first low duty 5s.; additional for first three months 5s,— 90s. RYE.— 5iis.; first low duty 3s. ftd.; additional for tlired months 3s. 6d.~ 60s. BARLEY.— 40s.; first low duty 2s,< W.; additional for three months 2s. 6d.— 45s. OATS'.— 27s ; high duty 4s.; additional for three months 2s,— 33s. The importation of Colonial or British- American Corn is in like maimer with Foreign Grain, not admissible, until our home Corn shall reach Ihe av-. agt: priceyat which importation is restricted by 55th Geo. III. viz. •— Wheat 67s. Rye 44s. Bailey 33s. and Oals 22s. Od. At these prices it is ad- missible under the same duties, high and low, as Foreign Grain; and thereafter it may be im. ported when the average of Wheat is 59s. Rye, & c. 39s.

Such, Mr, Editor, is a general aud correct sum- mary of the Statutes by which the Importation of* Grain is now regulated. The present and recent Hate of the Markets renders il desirable that ( he Farming Interest should keep their eyes oil this subject. The Markets are now open to Canadian corn that has beeu warehoused prior to May, 1822, and has so continued, subject, however, to the duties above specified: But, probably there is not much lo'drcaii from the quantity of corn in ware, house of that description, nor from what may be imported from that distant colony. What the Farmer has to. look lo is the prospect of the general or partial admission ai any time of foreign Grain into our markets ; indeed, should ihe ports ever he declared generally open for foreign Grain, sup plies from tbe Baltic and from Holland may be poured in immediately in such quantities as at once to lay tiie British Agriculturist prostrate, and to destroy every possibility of that reinstatement being permanent of which he has now so happy a prospect. 1 am, Sir, your's, & c. DETECTOR. * A though Oats are admissible at the Average of 27s. by the Corn Act of 1815, the High Duty is payable by the last Act ( 4th Geo.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, If your Journal can afford a little corner for the reception of a few general thoughts on the present State of England, I take the liberty to hope the follow ing will not be deemed unacceptable. Politics are in some measure the universal theme of news- paper correspondents, and that is certainly the proper subject for a newspaper. It must be remem- bered, however, that he who sets up for a politician lias not au easy task to accomplish. Before he begins he must be provided with a mind by nature capacious aswcll as candid. Politicians that possess not these endowments ( and they are by tar the major part) appear, Mr. Editor, to me, like a set of persons who have been each engaged in reading in a different column of y'our excellent Journal, and upon a different subject, and who, having finished reading, begin to argue most tremendously and sagaciously, pro aud con. about they know not what. To return to my subject, the state of this country Viewed under all circumstances, England may.- at the present moment be called the happiest nation upon earth. No other nation enjoys so many and various blessings at the hand of a bountiful Provi- dence as England. Is it peace, is it plenty, is it liberty, is it health and long life, is it a kind and hospitable society, that we desire ? I will assert that neither of these blessings can be found more abundant or more satisfactory auy where throughout tbe world than in our " right little, tight little Island :" " Oh, the right little, tight little Island ; " In all the world round " There's none to be found " So happy as our little Island !" Through the wise conduct of a Ministry to whom • We ought to be grateful, and not spiteful, our coun- try is now, I believe, at peace with all the world. In the navigation of our great national vessel ( if I nlay be allowed the expression) among the rocks aiid reefs that the quarrels in Spain, in Greece, aud in South America have occasioned, the helm has not been deserted a moment; and we now, thank God, find ourselves at anchor iu the broad bay of Peace. Being thus entirely at rest from war, as the Romans were in the reign of Augustus Ca: sar, is it not high time that the blustering months of those who " have so long waged war against the King and Constitution should, like the temple of Janus, he closed for a season ? For a season do I say ? If such a season should ever come, 1 think a moment's sweet experience would make it an end- less season. If Englishmen did even for a inomcat admit unanimity into their bosoms, tliey would be loth indeed to part with it again. It is a common observation among Foreigners, that in time of peace very, few traces' of patriotism can be found among the English ; while in time of War but few people are equally patriotic. As we are not engaged in war now, I will drop the latter, and confine myself to the former part of the Observ- ation. That we have little patriotism at the present moment will appear evident toall who believe their own common sense. What causes the flower of our nobility to abandon their native couhtry, mortgage their estates, aud throw the money into French coffers ? It is a want of patriotism. What lias driven many of our bold yeomanry to seek the fancied blessings of American liberty? It is a want of patriotism. There is, however, a remnant of our nobility and gentry yet remaining, who have not taken their native honesty and hospitality to France to return back with the vain accomplish- ments of " fops, tiddlers, Frenchmen, and dancing- masters." It is a bad bargain to receive French politeness at the price of English hospitality. Shropshire, perhaps, may boast as much as any comity, with a local pride, of its hospitable, loyal, and patriotic gentry. I could instance some, but the task would seem' invidious, who, like their worthy ancestors did before them, bear all the fea- tures of true English Gentlemen. Far from being infatuated with a blind attachment to France, that corrupter of English morals, they continue at home to enjoy the thanks and well- wishes of their ten- antry, spending their income in the proper place, which is among the very people who supply it. Now let us view the state of England from ano- ther point, and consider as coolly and impartially as possible the following circumstances. Every nation recorded iu the annals of history that lias at any time risen to extraordinary splendour and magnificence, has, in a longer or shorter period, sunk into a miserable lethargy, Many indeed have beeu altogether swept away from the face of ihe earth. Where are the mighty empires of Babylon, Greece, and Rome, once the glory of the world ? Let us consider their fate, and enquire if it be not possible that we may soon share a similar one. To me it seems, in a great measure, probable that our Augustan age has already arrived ; and though we have not acquired such an amazing superiority over other nations as did some of the mighty empires that I have named, yet what we lose in height of glory we gain in duration : certainly we are now, and have long been, tbe most powerful nation on tlie globe, especially at sea. But when, looking across the Atlantic, I see nation upon nation, aud kingdom upon kingdom, rising as it were out of woods and unknown wilds, I begin to fear, Oh, England, mv country, how art thou ready to fall! The veil of futurity, however, is not to ha lifted up hy mortal hands, and what may seem to us the most probable of circumstances is frequently found in the end impossible. I must observe that I am merely offering my own unbiassed sentiments, and do not pretend to any demonstration of what I propose to my readers. It also seems to me probable that Providence has, in order to bring about our gradual downfal ( Oh, may it never be I) created that astonishing iiihtlu- ation which leads so many of our nobility and our gentry to waste their money and their morals iu France. Let our gentlemen of property reside on their estates ; let our yeomanry ( and I hope they already have) cease emigrating to America; let our ironmasters and workman prefer liberty and Old England with even a scanty allowance, rather than tyranny and France with a heart conscious of rebellion against the interests of their native island; and then only can we fairly consider ourselves as a happy and flourishing people. We are happy at this moment indeed, but why do we overlook the canker that is at the root! Let us also seek after, not the name and shadow, but the real substance of virtue and religion. Let our nobility and people of great estate, hy their own example, cause guilt and wickedness to be eradicated from the bosoms of all Englishmen, for, as Addison somewhere intimates, the common people can never be Brought to abhor auy vice which they know that many a one, of £ 500 a year will commit with impunity. Let public prayers and thanks be regularly made for our na- tional welfare, not as a matter of form merely, but with a solemn and fervent sincerity, and Provi- dence will hear us arid bless us, as he did the Ninevites of old. To those who, in the pride of their hearts, may he led to ridicule my sentiments, I would recommend the consideration of Jonah's prophecy against Nineveh. While trade flourishes vice will increase, unless we keep a constant watch, and look for help from above; and while vice prospers, we must conclude, our destruction is near at haud. PATRI- E STUDIOSUS ^ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. F CONCLUDED.} In discussing the Navy Estimates, Mr. HOME made several charges against ilie conduct of Ihe Admiralty, specifying, among many other topics of uccusatioil, the promotion of men of rank and birth out of course, and the disability of passing as Lieutenants imposed upon Masters and Masters' Mates. The Hon. Mem- ber concluded a series of speeches by moving, that tbe proposed establishment of the navy should he reduced from 29,000 lo 25,000.— Mr. BERNAL i^ iin- ciiled in Mr. Hume's censures'of ( he Admiralty; hut could not, iu the present state of Europe, assent lo ihe proposed rediictiou.-- Sir G. CLERK, Sir G. COCK- ECRN, and Mr. CANNING, defended the promotion of men ( if rank iu llle navy as conducive fofliejge- neral vcspeclabiliiv of the profession ; and explained, thai Ibe order for the disqualification of Mastels'fioni passing as Lieutenants* had become necessary, front ibe practice of appointing Masters directly from Ihe merchants* service ; and that il only operated to prevent Masters so taken from anticipating the usual length of service.— Mr. HUME withdrew his intendment. Some allusion having, been made to tbe probable reason for auymeiiling our nova! force, Mr. Secretary CANNING said, he would take tbat opportunity of slatiny in explanation of a passage io bis Majesty's Speech . which bad been alluded to, that there never was a period In which this country might, wilh gieater certainty, expect a continuance of peace ; but," be added, u it must he clearly seen that there never was a period iu which there was so much agitation." Tbe Right lb. n. Secretary subsequently observed, that the proposed augmentation was rather under than exceeding Ibe necessity, for such aug- mentation, aud thai on this cirrumstance might be founded an additional confidence of peace, because, if that confidence did not exist, such a vole as tbe one ihen before the House, would be insufficient." The Navy Estimates' resolutions having then heen agreed to, Mr. GotLBURN; after some discus- sion, obtained leave to bring in a Biil lo compel the residence of Clergy io II'cliiudon their, benefices, Mr. JONES also ' obtained leave to bring in a Bill to extend Ihe power of Judges iu the Court of Great Session in Wales, aud lo amend the laws relating to the same. Mr. MARTIN brought ill a Bill to amend the Act relative to lite cruel treatment of cattle, & c. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY, GAME LAWS.' Mr. S. WORTI. EY moved fur leave to bring in a Bill upon the subject of llie Game Laws ; ihe Hon. Member gave a slight outline of" the measure lo ihe following effect:— lie would, lie said, propose tbat every man, without distinction of qualification, should have the absolute right to kill game upon bis own ground, and tliat every bolder of land should have ihe power of imparting lite privilege of sporting upon that laud to one friend for every plough- gate which be should bold.— That he would propose to give lo landholders a summary remedy, by fine at Ihe discretion of a Magistrate, against trespassers by day, anil a security against night poachers by ascule of punishments, moderate at first, aod increasing wilh each repetition of the offence; and hy holding convicted poachers to bail, and, finally, that be would propose to legalise tbe sale of game by li. cansed persons.— The mot ion was slightly opposed by Sir JOHN SHELLEY, and leave was granted without a division. SPAIN. Lord NUGENT then brought forward his promised motion for eeriain papers connected with tbe late proceedings of the British Government in Spain. The Noble Lord admitted that neutrality was lite proper policy of this country, and that which the popular feeling indicated; but be denied tbat ihe Ministers bad been impartially neutral; aud brought iu proof of their bias against liie Constitutionalists, the retirement of Sir Wm. A'Court from Seville, after the King bad been put under restraint; and Sir William's advice to General Alava, as a private friend, to withdraw from tbe rtiin which threatened the Constiluiioiialists in Cadiz. Lord Nugent's speech wits vet'y long; but these were tbe only specific allegations contained- in il.— Mr. STCRGES BOURNE' and Mr. CANNING briefly defended the course taken by oiir. iiovertiment, and Ihe measures adopted bv Sir Wm. A'Court ( who acled in a great degree iipoii his own discretion); arid Mr. Stilrges Bourne moved, as an amendment to Lord Nugeilt's motion, " That this House is duly sensible of the advantages derived to this country from that neu- trality in the late war between France and Spain, which bis Majesty at tbe beginning of thin war declared it to be his determination lo observe, and which it appears in this House, under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, h'as been most scrupulously and inviolably maintained."— On a division. Lord Nngent's motion was rejected by a majority iu favour of Mr. Bourne's amendment; of 171 to 30. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. Several petitions were presented against the Coal Duties; oo which Mr Peim 4" M called the iitiention of ihe House to- the injury- which the repeal of those duties would do to the Inland Collieries. Dr. I. CSHINGTON obtained leave lo bring in a Bill for consolidating the Laws relative to the Slave Trade. Lord ALTHORPE obtained leave to bring iu a Bill for promoting the more speedy recovery of Small Debts. The principle of the proposed measure is, tbat an Assessor to the Sheriff shall be jippointed iu each county ; that lie shall go circuits and hold courts in such towns as tbe justices shall think proper; that a simple and cheap mode of proceed- ing shall he introduced iu these courts, and that they shall have a jury. Mr. DAVIES GILBERT obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the more effectual recovery of penalties before Magistrates, and for facilitating- the execution of warrants. Mr. COURTENAY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the laws relating'to Bank- rupts. ' In Ih? HOUSE of LORDS on Friday, the EARL of LIVERPOOL ( as also did Mr, PEEL in the Com- mons on Thursday) condemned in explicit terms the application of the punishment of the Tread- mill to prisoners before^, rial. Such application he held to he a violation of the letter of the law, the differ- ence between employment before and punishment after trial being most material. An explanatory- Act, to remove all doubts on the- subject among Magistrates, will probably be passed this session. , In Ihe HOUSE of COMMONS, Sir JAMES MACI, INTOSII gave notice of a motion for an early day in March, with respect to the existing relations between this country and the South American Republics, unless ibe necessity for such a pro- ceeding should he removed by any previous com- munication on the part of Ministers. A nearly similar motion stfiuus upon the order book of the House of Peers, given by the Marquis Lansdowu. The Army Estimates for the present year have been laid upon the table of life House of Commons. The total force lo be provided for, amounts to 73,041, exclusively of 20,000 for service in ' Ibe territorial possessions of the East India Company. The proposed distribution of this force is as follows: — For Great Britain, ( including reliefs)...,. 22,019 Stations abroad, ( excepting India).. 30,793 Ireland 20,229 Total 73,041 The above force includes the 95th Regiment, newly raised, and the 96th, 97th, 98th, and 99th, making an increase of 3250 men and non com- missioned officeis. The charge for ibe 95th Regiment is estimated from the 25th of last December; tbat of the 96th from the 25th of the present month : and that of Ibe remaining three, from the 25lh " larch. The additional expense created will be between eighty and ninety thousand pounds. Somtsiic anis Jfovcign. The King has been pleased to remit the sentence of death of the Court- Martini oil Missionary Smith, in Demerara ( which sentence had been accom- panied by a recommendation for mercy, on the part of the Court), and to direct that he should be dismissed from the Colony, and be called upon to enter into recognizances not to reside within any of His Majesty's colonial possessions iu the West Indies. WEST LIF DTES... Appointment rif Two Bishops. — il is finally ariatiged, that two Bishops are to be appointed to superintend the affaiis of the Church in tbat quarter of Ibe world, otie to the Leeward, the other to the Windward Islands. A residence is to be appropriated for them, and each is lo be allowed £ 4000 per annum, with a retiring pension of £ 1000 per annum, after twelve years' residence. Jamaica is to be Ihe head of one See, and Barbadoes and Saint Vincent's tbe moveable seat of the other. The Rev. Kohbs Scott is appointed Archdeacon of Australasia, in New South Wales, with a salary of £ 2000 per annum. This is the highest Eccle- siastical Authority in that colony. The Kev. Mr. Childers has been presented to the Prehendal Stall iu Ely Cathedral, vacaut by the death of the Rev. Sir H. B. Dudley, Bart. The Gazette of Saturday officially notifies the respective appointments of the -. Rev. C, H, Hall, D. D. tothe Deanery of Durham; of Ibe Rev. S. Smith, D. I), to the Deanery of Christ Church, Oxford; and of the Rev. H. Woodcock, D. D. to a Canonfy of Christ Church. Mr. Wethcrcll is re- elected Representative for tbe Cilv of Oxford, the vacancy having been oc- casioned by his recent appointment to the office of Solve i tor- General. Mr. John Fane, son of the late Member, and iVIr, Dnshwood, of Kirtlingtoii Park, are candi- dates for tho vacant scat for tbe county of Oxford. Tuesday, H, Bonham, Esq. was elected Member for Sandwich, in the room of the late Joseph Mafryatf, Esq. Horace Twiss, Esq. is nominated Counsellor to the Admiralty and Navy, in the room of Mr. Jcrvis. Legal proceedings arc said to have just been instituted against an individual well known in the Sporting World, with a view of recovering penalties against him to the amount of £ 100* 000, on account of a gambling establishment recently opened by him at the west- end of the town. The widow of Prince James Stuarl, the late Pretender, died on ihe 29th of January al Florence, at the age of 72. She was allowed £ 2000 a year by the English Government. Capl. Cochrane, who has undertaken the arduous task of a pedestrian tour through Russia aud Siberia, for the purpose of minutely exploring that inhospitable region, and also for ascertaining the disputed fact of,$ he separation of the Continents of Asia and America, has, after a two years' survey, decided the quesliou in the affirmative; there being a continuous channel between the Continents, though frequently blocked up with iee during great part of Ihe winter. An Agricultural Society was instituted at New South Wales iu July, 1822 ; and, as appears by the President's Address, has not only flourished during that snort interval, hut " was not formed a single month before it. was wanted." The Patron of the Society is his Excellency Sir" T. Brisbane, Governor of the Colony; its Vice. Patron, Fred. Gdtilburn, Esq. Colonial Secretary ; the President is Baron Field, Esq. Judge of the Supreme Court. There are Corresponding Members, a General Committee, a Building Committee, a Premium Committee, a Horticultural Committee, Subscrib- ers, and ill fact, all the necessary adjuncts of such an Institution; and this Institution, together with numerous other establishments indicative of an advanced stale of society, is now flourishing on a spot where less than 40 years ago the naked savage roamed, sole lord of its inhospitable shores ! — It appears, thai 181,5001b. of wool were exported lo England ill 1821, from New South Wales. two years old.— We doubt not that the Irish King's Bench designed to act wilh justice; but we ask, would SirC. Abbott and his learned associates have granted an information in such a cose? We chal- lenge the professors of the law to produce auy thing like il from their books. That the prosecution has been got up by concert ( we do not say conspiracy) is plain from this, that tbe pauper, who pleaded his poverty, in extenuation of his son's theft, appears in the King's Bench wilh the lawyer, one of them said to be a King's Goutisel.— St. James\ i Chronicle. LORD FAUNIIAM.— We have been tor some time in possession of the facts relating lo this extraordinary, and, in the present situation of the country, mo- mentous case.— Tbe great veneration iu which we, iu common with the respectable portion of the popu- lation of Ireland, ho| d. his Lordship, could not induce us lo vary from that course which respect for the laws pointed out— namely, a strict observance of silence upon Ibe question until the case was fairly before the Court and the pnb. lio. That period has now arrived, and we refer our readers to llie report of ibe proceedings on Saturday last for the exculpa- tion of his Lordship's character from Ibat obloquy which has been so unsparingly heaped upon it. Attacks upon the loyal and efficient part of the Magistracy in Ireland have formed, a leading feature in the debates of Ihe Popish Couieulioo, and we know- that Ihe present prosecution.- we will not call it conspiracy, has heen hatched in Ibat nest of sedi- tion, We know that the prosecutor is a pauper, and thai in cases of Criminal Information, the Attorney makes himself liable lo ihe Cosls. We know that the charging affidavit was filed on the 28th day of November, and that tbe fact was studiously con. cealcd from his Lordship and those concerned for him until Ihe 26lh of January. We know that a certain great Catholic Barrister, not engaged in Ibe cause— that is, not ostensibly engaged in it, was in attendance when Lord Farnham's answering affi- davits were filed, and assisted the Proseculor's Attorney iu perusing them— and we know from w hat fund tbe expenses arc to he paid. Some astonish- ment was expressed by the Bar and the public at tbe cause shown not having beeu allowed. To ns it appears tbat the decision was conceived in. the true spirit of strict and impartial justice, and it is one bailed by the friends of Lord Farnhain as the only mode of eliciting those facts to which we have al- luded, and others, of equal import to the country, connected with this extraordinary case.

About 800 casks of butter, and a few sacks of flour, have been saved. At a recent Petty Sessions in South Wales, a fe- male servant vras brought forward under a complaint from her mistress, tbat she had, at frequent times, made free with the several things in her charge, and given them away without her mistress's con- sent or knowledge. From many circumstances, the mistress had reason to think that several things, such as bread, meat, soap, candles, and many other such like, disappeared in a strange way, and from its frequent recurrence,. considered that it eOuId not hhppeh, but. through the means or connivance of her servant. She was not long-, however, before her suspicions were confirmed, and having detected the servant giving away some meat, she laid her com- plaint before the Magistrates. The servant, on examination, admitted she had done it, and like- wise confessed that she had frequently done so ; but urged in excuse, that her fVjenrk were in very dis- tressed circiimstaHces, and that she relieved their wants in this way.— The nature of her offence having, been explained to her, and having been IRELAND.—- The last? accounts, we are sorry to slate, announce it wo horrible outrages : one in the bounty of Clonmel, where the house of Michael Hamertou, Esq. of Hamerton, was entered by four armed villains, who shot Mr. H.' s servant in the thigh, & so dreadfully injured Mr. H.

I We again repeat, something must be done, anJ speedily," At a late Meeting of the Catholic Association in Dublin, Mr. Daniel O'Connell brought forward a plan for increasing the funds of the Catholic As- sociatioM.

LORD FARNHAM ( LATE COLONEL BARRY). — It was recently announced in the Papers that a criminal information had been filed in the Irish Court, of King's Bench against Lord Farrihain ( well known as the intrepid asserter of Protestant rights in the House of Commons), for'' extra- judicial miscouduct as a magistrate, in illegally ordering a hoy to he flogged, and actually flogging him himself!—- The following paragraphs relative to the subsequent proceedings in this strange business, have since appeared : — The Irish Court of King's Bench has made absolute the Rule for a Criminal Information against Lord Farnham, notwithstanding his Lordship's statement,, verified by four affidavits, that the act of which his Lordship wa* accused, Was not done in his character of a Magistrate, bur expressly otherwise; that it was done at the earnest solicitation of the hoy's father, who afterwards became the prosecutor; and that, in the whole, it amounted to the administering to a thief, of 12 years of age, such a whipping, as Mr. Robinson, a Clergyman and a Magistrate, svyore he would not scruple to inflict upon his own child of CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES.

Winchester New Saruni Dorchester Exeter Launceston Taunton MURDER.— A girl named Esther Gorringe, IS* years of age, has been committed to Horsham Gaol, charged with the wilful murder of a female infant child named Martha Ann Sewell. Gorringe lived servant with tbe child's parents, its father being head ostler at Ihe Dorset Arms, East Grinstead. Oil Saturday night the child was missing from its cradle, aud after a search by all the neighbourhood in every direction, was found dead in a copper filled with water ill the wash- house of its parents' dwelling.— The prisoner was taken into custody, and, being so advised hy the constable, . confessed that slic puftlie- child into ( lie copper.— There bad been no quarrel, nor can any cause be conjectured for the act, unless the prisoner should be proved insane, Tbe Jury summoned to inquire into the cir- cumstances attending the barbarous murder of the aged woman Elizabeth Marsh, at Deal, as men- tioned in a former Journal, have brought in a verdict of Wilful Murder against J. Clover, Jos. Shelvy, and S. Shelvy ; and against Hester Shclvy, as an accessary before the fact. They have all been commuted to Maidstone Gaol. In the month of July, 1822, an old man named William Wot rail, a coal- carrier residing at Buer- tou, near Audlcm, Cheshire, was found murdered in his own cart between his residence and ihe coal- pits, to which he was on his way. The murderers were not discovered j but suspicion fell upon a man named Price, in consequence of his absconding from the neighbourhood immediately after the murder. Nothing was heard of this mail, however, until lately, when he was takeu into custody near Macclesfield or Stockport, and was committed to Chester Castle, to lake his trial at the next Assizes. Since Price's committal, it has appeared, from ihe evidence of a woman named Beech, who, vvilh her husband, resided at tbe time of the murder, at Madeley Heath, in Staffordshire, and at whose house Price had previously lodged, that lie ( Price) a day or two after the murder, called thei- e, and on going away left behind liitn a brace of pistols apd a powder flask, which this woman subsequently threw into a marl. pit near the house. The magistrates directed the pit to he searched, when, after much time and labour spent in pumping out the water and examining the mud, a powder flask; vvas first discovered, and in a few days afterwards a pistol, tbe barrel of which is said lo be fitted hy the ball found in the head of the poor old man, and which caused his death. Murder at Liverpool.— On Monday night week, about half- past ten o'clock, as John Jones was returning home, accompanied hy his son, a' boy about fourteen, he was attacked, in Vauxhall- road, opposite ihe end of Maguire. street, by three men. They were armed- with bludgeons ; and, as soim as Jones came up, they struck the unfortu- nate man several blows on " the head vvilh these deadly weapons, aud he fell almost instantly. THE sav* ges, having accomplished their diabolical pur- pose, immediately fled ; but, the shrieks of the boy having attracted the watchman and other persona to the spot, ( he villains were pursued, and one of them was fortunately secured. The unfortunate man was conveyed home, aud, after lingering iu great agony, expired oil Tuesday at noon. The deceased was a sawyer, and bad continued al his work, notwithstanding the bulk of the trade have, for some time past, been standing out for wages; and his conduct had, it is supposed, excited" tho hostility of the other men. given to understand that if her mistress should proceed in the business, it was possible that she would . be transported ;— for, although the things she took were, in themselves trifling, yet, as be- longing to ber mistress, she had no sort of right to make away with tbe same ; and tbat as no line would be drawn that could distinguish her ofien. ee from any other " theft, she was amenable to the law. The girl appealing perfectly sensible of the impropriety of her conduct, and assuring her mis- tress that if she would not proceed against ber, she would take care to avoid any further reason of com- plaint, she was dismissed by the Magistrates, with a suitable admonition. As there is every reason to think that the practice is carried- on in many families to no small extent, it is recommended that this ease be published, that servaitts might no longer go on with impunity, under a mistaken belief, that be- cause what they gave away was trifling, and that it was to relieve the distresses of their r elatives or friends, there was no offeuce in it. They must, dr aught, to know, that in taking their master or mistress's property, however trijliiig, without their consent, cannot be distinguished from stealing from any other person ; but that, iu either ease, ft must be felony. As this paragraph is intended to guard them from auy misconception, & that they might'not hereafter plead ignorance, so it may also serve to lay before them, that if from such conduct they should leave their service, bow can thev expect a character ? and without one, no one will be now taken. Many valuable servants continue this prac- tice, without being aware of iis impropriety and danger; it is hoped tlrey will correct their error in time. The evil complained of is so general, that those who continue il, can expect nothing- less than tbe vengeance of the law to follow them. DREADFUL ACCIDENT, NEAR BRIGHTON.. As five labourers were employed in digging for flints, at the base of lite Cliff, Brighton, oil Tues- day afternoon, the over- hanging earth and stone suddenly fell in, and crushed and buried the whole of litem. A sixth man, on the margin of the sleep, was precipitated to the beach by tiie fall, but de- scending on the summit of the immense weight of rubbish, he escaped without broken bones, or any very essential injury. No lime vvas lost in digging' out ihe others, but the whole of them were dead. LEAIJ- STEALERS, & e.— In the course of some proceedings before the Magistrates of Chester last week, the Mayor suggested the propriety of dealers in old lead, iron, & c. taking down tbe names of all persons from whom they purchased such articles, as it would often be of" material service in the detection of offenders. Thomas Sable, a waterman, has been committed to Worcester city gaol, charged wilh maiming and slabbing James Day, in Sansoine slreet, on the evening of Saturday se'nnigbl. The prisoner, wilh another mail aud two women of the town, had been carousing at a house in Doldy ; and shortly after leaving it, they met with Day, when a quarrel en- sued, upon which the accusal drew a knife, struck Day deeply in tiie arm, and inflicted several other severe wounds on various parts of his hodv. The wounded man vvas taken to the Infirmary, bleeding profusely, but is now in a fair way of recovery. The prisoner slandsfullycommitted for this seriouq offence, and one of his female associates is also in . confinement under the Vagrant Acl. Two men named James Lamb and Patrick Patten have been apprehended ill Ireland, charged with the wilful murder of a boy named Charles Orton, of Spoil- street, Coventry, in September last, and they are to be removed to the gaol of that citv for trial at the ensuing Assizes. FORTUNE TELLING.— Jane Dide, Mary Morris, Mary Duyan, and Lydia Solomon, were charged with pretending to unravel the mysteries of futurity. These female philosophers have for a long time carried on their nefarious practices, but their fame having reached the ears of Mr. Adkins, onr prison- keeper, he lost no lime in despatching some female emissaries fo them, to get their fortunes told. The damsels found out the lodgings of the sybils, put down their money, and had forthwith disclosed to them the mysteries of fate Unfortunately, however, these diviners, while pro- fessing to be so well read iu the destinies of others, were totally unconscious of the fortunes that awaited themselves; for shortly afterwards Ihe officers visited the several establishments of these learned ladies, and, sans ceremony, took Ihein and their implements of knowledge under their pro- tection.— On being convicted, ihe Magistrates recommended Ibeni to more useful, if not quile so agreeable, employment ot tbe Tread. Mill, for three calendar months.— Birminyham, Chronicle. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Thursday, tlie rule for a new trial iu the case of Thurteil \ Beaumont, was refused. This action was hrouo- hi by the notoriousThiirteli ( since a bankrupt, and also executed for murder) against the County Fire Office to recover the amount of damage alleged to be sus- tained by fire. Tile claim was resisted oil Ihe ground ibat the Thurtells had wilfully set Ihe premises nil fire, but the Jury returned a verdict iu favour of the Ihurtcils, This verdict was now attempted lo be set aside by the Fire Office, arid with this view a variety of affidavits were put in • one of these was by Ibe notorious Hum, to which Ibe Lord Chief Justice said no credit could lie attached.— The rule tor a new trial being refused, the insurance moiiev ( about £ 3000) will be divided anion g the creditors of the Thurtells. At the Old Bailey, oil Wednesday, Charles ( roivder was indicted fur feloniously receiving cer- tain promissory notes, the property of Messrs. Taylor and Lloyd, of Birmingham, bankers, anil which nates belonged to a parcel stolen from the Birminohant Balloon Coach, on the 12th of December, 1822 — The principal witness was a man named Gray," who stated that he was at Mollon Fair, in Essex, in September last, where he was in company with the prisoner and a man named Thurnley, the latter of whom stated to ihe prisoner tbat he bad robbed the ' coach ol the parcel in question. The prisoner pur- chased some of the notes of Thn. ni. lev ( who said tbe hankers had refused lo treat with'htm for their parcel). Wilness communicated the matter to Ihe bankers, and was employed to purchase notes frow Ihe prisoner iu order to bring abont his apprehension He did so, aud this part of his testimony vvas con- finned by other witnesses. Gray, on his cross- examination, stated, tbat lie was acquainted with and had been employed by the Bank of England to' detect, passers of forged notes.— Mr. Baron Graham summed up ibe evidence, and said be thought Gray ' s testimony was suffieitntly confirmed — The Jury after a deliberation of ten mihities,. slaved that they could not discard their doubts as lo Gray's testimoov and acquitted tbe prisoner.— Thnrnley lias not beeu apprehended. It was not without the utmost difficulty thai the Mail from London reached Bath on Saturday. The passengers, whose first salutations were on the peculiar mildness of the weather, were not a little surprised, at no great distance from the metropolis, to find tbe ground covered vvilh snow W> » B considerable depth. On proceeding further, ' the angry spirit of the storm* seemed excited lo ungovernable fury, and the increasing drifts pre- sented considerable impediment ; till, in crossing Marlborough Downs, the snow had increased to an extent that rendered Ihe road ( indistinguishable and to any thing but the most undaunted courage and persevering industry, utterly impassable. The snow was in places drifted to a height of 12 or 14 - feet; and the howling of ihe wind, and Ihe pelting of Ihe storm, presented to the passengers, who in a moment of peril were obliged to alight, a scene of desolation calculated to awake the most unpleasant sensations. In Ibis situation Ihe first object that presented itself was the True Blue Coach, which, unable to make ils way, had been abandoned. The great care and intrepidity of the driver and guard of the Mail, however, assisted by the physical energies of its excellent horses, surmounted every difficulty, with a delay of little more than half ail hour. . . ABRIDGEMENT.— The U,- v. Thomas Cotteril! of St% Paul's Church, Sheffield, formerly of Lane End, Staffordshire, died lately, leaying a widow aud five children lolally Unprovided for. In consequence several benevolent gentlemen interested themselves' and a subscription of more than £ 3000 has been' raised already.— In Mr. Lee's nursery grounds at Kensington, there are upwards of GOO sorts of rose trees— Miss Nixou, who had been shewn as the wonderful child, twelve years old, weighing 25 stout* of 14lbs. and more limit seven feet in cirdiiniference died a few days ago at Bath — It is rumoured that Mrs. Coutts, ihe richest widow in England, will shortly be led lo Ibe Hymeneal altar by Mr ' Ellis, ton, of Drnry Lane.— Upwards of £ 3000 have been subscribed towards erecting an assembly room at Wolverhampton.— More than £ 10,000 have been subscribed towards llie foundation of a Literary and Scientific Institution in Manchester.
