LONDON— S A TURD A Y. Iii the HOUSE OF COMMONS, on Thursday, Sir M. W. RIDLEY,, in a Conjniittee of tiie House, moved settle resolutions expressive of the. opinion of ih « e Committee, that the Duties on Coals should be totally, though gradually re pea led.— Mr. LJTTLKV TON and Sit- joins' WROI'TESLEY opposed tlie pro- position ; and: the CHANCELLOR 6f the EXCHEQUER, in df( ending his own resolutions on the subject, said, he could not consent to pledge. himself to'; get rid of the coast duties on coals within the next three year's, because, independent of any question of policy, Government could not afford to lose the revenue, which netted £ 9^ 0,, 000 a year. A number of other members delivered their opiuions for and , against the lion. Baronet's resolutions, but they .. xvere. eventually negntivedj, after three divisions, by consideryble niajariti « s. • : 1 In the Hot; etc of Loinns yesterday an interest- ing discussion took place on the bill to exempt Unitarians from, the necessity of submitting in their I marriages to the torms of the Establishment. The Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Liverpool, the Bishops of Chester and London, the Marquis of Lamsdown, Earl Harrowb. y, and Other Peers, spoke upon, the question. The Earl of Liverpool qualified his vote " ik its favour, by declaration that he should w ithhold tit's further sup- port from it, unless it Veise modified1 in the Com- mittee. Other Noble Lords also declared they should vote against k after passing through the ' Committee, unless, the proposed relief'were con fined to cases in which both the contracting parties were of Uuitat- ian principles. It may therefore b* e taken for granted, that the bill will not pass in its present shape. The second reading, upon whicl the discussion arose,, was carried fey a majority of two- the numbers foeing-, edntents 35, non- con- teuts 33. in the HOUSE of COMMONS the second reading of the Alien Renewal hill, was, after a most eloquent speech from Mr. CAKING carried by a divismn of 111 to 9i. In the coiirse oi' his obserVations ou the policy of renewing the Act in the present instance^ the flight Hon. Secretary expressed a hope that this was the last time in winch it vyoukl be necessary td apply to Parliament to sanction the measure, thafi ou the expiration ofthetwo years during^ wbicb its! provisions arc to continue in tbr& e, M inistei- s woul(| be able to propose some permanent . and less object tionable system for the treatment of Aliens resident in this country. Mr. Tieruey spcke also at l. eit against the renewal o, f the bill, and Mr. Secretary', Peel in support; of it.— A number of votes were agreed to iti a Committee of Supply, among which was one of £ 60,1/ 00, few the purchase anii conserva- tion of the late Mr. Angel- stein's collection, of" pic tures, as the basis of a National Gallery. There has been an unusual bustle at the oflao of the chief cashier of the Bank of England to- day, so numerous have been the applftatiohs of parties desirous of signifyingTheir assent to the reduction iif the interest on the old four per cents. It novv ap- pears pretty clear that the measure will be carried into efi'ect without difficulty. The King has been pleased to appoint the Rioht Hon. Robert Lord Gifford ( Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas) to be Master or Keepe of the Roils iiud Records of the Court of Chancery, in the room of Sir Thomas Piumer, deceased^ The long disputed Colombian loan is at length acknowledged. The holders of tbe old Colombian I JO bus are io receive in lieu thereof others regularly signed ' by M. Hurt a do, in behalf of the Government of Colombia, and bearing the same interest. The saving to the French nation by the intended reduction of their 5 pr; r cent, stock to 3 cent, will be two millions per annum. MR. SCARLETT.— Much meiriitient was excited at York on Monday, on the arrival of the London papers of the previous day, in which Mr. Scarlett*! death was so confidently announced. At no period of his indisposition did his friends entertain any very serious apprehensions for his life, as his malady was not of a nature thai was calculated to excite them. The first cause in which the learned gentle, man was engaged that morning was an action for the recovery of a small debt, the circumstances of which were of no general interest. He was for the defendant, and in cross- examining one of the plaintiff's witnesses, he asked hini if he bad a good memory. The witness answered, u! have not/ —" Are you alive ? V u ( believe I am ."—( laughter..) —"'. Have you any doubt about it " Well— 1 am alive to all appearance." ( Lou<| laughter).—- Mr. Scarlett, in proceeding to state the defendant's case, said, " Gentlenieii, before I go into the Cir- cumstances of this defence, allow me to address lo you a word . or two about myself, as you might perhaps be alarmed at, my appearance here. Permit me thus to. assume you that I did not die ou Thurs- day night last ( loud laughter); or if I did die oil that night, and if, indeed, on the two following days, I have appeared here as a spectre on the part of my clients, allow me to add, that I have jester day revived ( laughter), and that I now address you in much better health than I have been in for the last week."

Gloucester Assizes, Saturday, April 3, THE KING V.'( took: B AND OTHERS. Mr. James Stamp Sutton Cooke stated to the Court, that, as one, ofithe defendants on this indict- ment, it w as his intention to defend his Own cayse as at? Englishman ; aud suggested the propriety of the witnesses on either 3id6- being Urdered out of Court. ' • His Lordship.—" You are, Sir, entitled to the elaim you have made."— The witnesses were or- dered out of Court accordingly. 1 - Mr. Taiford opened the pleadings, deiailiug the different counts of the iudictment, keven iu number. Mr. Taunton stated the ease. He thought it one which the defendants would not have called wit- ii esses ; but i inde r s ta ndi ngY fr< » i UW' 11 fttli a dp as s ed, timt% was their intention to do so, he should be Compiled to pursue a coarse very di fie rent from lhat which he had originally proposed. The charge against the defendants was, in fact, that of having put their heads together, and devised the means of obtaining money under false pretences. Sir G. Jertiingham was the party against whom these mal- practices had been devised, and to whose injury they had been brought into action. , The defendant Cooke- was a solicitor, who therefore might be sup- posed to know, that the law was suffieient to establish , j; ab| ^ . • dj ;,; si hii M. if hi Jma a - lega* right.

In the House of ' Commons, this evening, the Alien Bill went - through a Committee. Various sums were afterwards voted in a Committee of Supply, otie of which was for tbe improvement of Windsor Castle, which is to take place on an extended scale.— No discussion of public interest took place in the House of Lords. an undisputed possession of more than 50 years, of property no matter how originally acquired, gave a good and lepal claim to sue!) property, in the absence of title- deeds on the part of those claiming the rightful possession. Not upon this point, how- ever, did his client mean to found bis claim to the valuable possessions which tbe defendants had so illegally attempted to g| et into their hands Sir George'was a gentleman of most ancient family, of lineage the most direct, asd of connections the inost respectable aud honourable. Such Were the titles of the plaintiff, and it would ere long be seen of w hat nature those intended to be opposed to them really Were. In order, however, to meet the mis representations which had been most industriously made, lie should enter into some description of the lineal descent of Sir George Jerningluvm, as a mere historical statement, as recoided in Acts of Parlia- ment, and enrolled in the archives of the High Court ef Chancery. Sir George is lineally de- scended ' from the Duke of Buckingham,. who was attainted and beheaded in the reign of Henry VIII. On his death, and after the attainder, tbe blood of the Barons Stafford was restored to Henry, one of the sons of. the attainted Duke. Iu the reign of Charles II, a great- great- grand. daughter of this Henry married a Sir William Howard, who was then created. Baron Stafford : this Nobleman was con- victed of treason, on the perjury of Titus Oates, and was beheaded in 16S0. He, however, could not make his heirs forfeit rights which they inhe- rited from their mother as Baroness Stafford, in whom, and in whose heirs, the fee- simple of the estate and title were undeniably vested. From this Baroness, and from oneofher heirs who wascreated Earl of Stafford, the present Sir George Jerning- bani was lineally descended. The Learned Counsel then stated the nature of an application made by Mr, James Cooke to Sir George, in November, 1822 : this application, however, was unsuccessful, and the conspiracy to defraud was then first em- bodied. James Staiup. Sutton Cooke forthwith gave a dinner at his lodgings, or honse, at Somers- Town ; one of his guests, named Crank, he appointed his Secretary, receiving a premium of £ 50 for such appointment. On the 30th December they met at Stafford, and associating themselves with one Smith, a sheriff's officer, went on the same day to Stafford Castle, not yet completed. This Castle Was shewn to strangers ; and wben the party arrived. Smith told the old woman who lived in and exhibited the Castle, that the two strangers with him Wanted to see the Castle. They were admitted ; aud then it was that tbe defendant Cooke declared llis brother the heir of the estate, and took possession. He then endeavoured to bribe the old woman ; who, how. ever, instead of obeying tlie mandate of her lord, Richard Baron Stafford, applied instanler\ o Mr. Seekerson, the steward of Sir George, and who, on his arrival at tbe Castle, finding Mr. Crank, the Secretary of the new Baron, left in possession, forthwith ejected him. The party immediately set to work. They first enlisted a Stafford schoolmaster, of the name of Jenkinson, who was. the other de- fendant to this indictment. The uext step was to publish notices addressed to tbe tenants of Sir George, Mr. James Cooke having taken up his abode at Stafford. There, in all due pomp, and apparently oppressed with business, he received such of the tenants of Sir George as his notices had induced to pay him a visit. The first notice served was dated 30th of December, 182- 2: it was dated Stafford Castle, and cautioned the tenants not to pay any rent to Sir George Jerniiigham, or his agents, or to any other person than Richard Stafford Cooke, as legal Baron qf Stafford, or to his bailiff, steward, or agent.— On the lst January the second notice was dated. It was, in effect, a caution to the tenants, that if they did not forthwith pay their rents and arrears to Baron Richard, they would be distrained against. It offered a reduction ot' one- half the rents for the ensuing seven years, and pledged the new Baron not to eject any one of the tenants from his occupancy. The first thing the defendants did to get the ready rhino, was resorting to acts of trespass and violence, of a description such as had never been seen since the days of the civil wars. Men were employed to cut down the timberon Ihe estate. To quiet the seruples^ of these men, an axe was drawn round tbe bottom of the trunk of such trees as were to be cut down, under the persuasion that this ceremony gave a legal title to the cutting down. Many were the trees that fell in pursuance of this system of devastation, and were sold t. o those who had no objection to advancing money'upon such security. Sir George^ however, obtaining an injunction against the further cutting down of trees,. this plan wasforthe time abandoned. James S. S. Cooke forthwith appointed gamekeepers to the manors of Sir George Jerninghaih. For these acts of trespass and fraud, the present indictment was preferred. On the 15th January Baron Richard visited his Barony; not, however, with all his baronial honours, not in his baronial spleudour, but under the simple appellation of Mr. Brown; and iis a means of further disguise, he put up at a hum-' ble public- house, drank ale and smoked tobacco at night, and drank rum and milk iu the morning! This disguise was certainly effectual; for the host of the inn never for a single instant dreamt that he had been honoured by the patronage and support of so noble a guest as Richard Baroii Stafford. He shortly after repealled his visit; again smoked to bacco, aud again drank ale ; but still his Lordship thought proper to travel incognito. On the 13th of January a third notice was served upon the tenantry, fixing the 16th of January for the payment of rents' at the George Inn, for which receipts were to he given by James Stamp Sutton Cooke. Jenkinson was stationed at the room- door, in which the steward of Sir George was sitting to receive the rents, at the Swan Inil, for the purpose of using such misrepre- sentations as should induce the tenants to repair to the George Inn, to pay their rents to Ihe agent of Baron Richard. The result was, that James Stamp Sutton Cooke, as the solicitor, and young Crank, as the secretary, received from some few intimidated tenants the amount of £ 10 for rent, and, he believed, a whole hat- full of half- pence ! What was the next step ? A distress for rent was put into the house of Mr. Seekerson, Sir George's agent, whilst he was attending his professional duties at the Stafford Quarter Sessions. Constables were, called in, and the agents of Cooke were expelled. A second dis- tress was put into tbe bouse in the afternoon, by four men forcing their way up stairs, and intruding upon the privacy of Mrs. Seckerson, and some female visitors of that lady; iu a manner he should not. then describe. James Stamp Sutton Cooke next applied to an old maiden lady, named Marv Peake, for the purpose of endeavouring to induce . her to nttoru to hit brother as her landlord. For this purpose, he told her that Sir George had given uo possession to his brother, who was only kept out of his rights by Mr. Seckerson. He further said, that the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and the King himself, had. acknowledged the rights and titles of bis Noble Brother. But with this maiden ladv he was unsuccessful in every particular. IJuder pretences . equally false,- however, lie obtained, the sum of £ 8 from a man named Rogers, and £ 17. 10s. from another named Dudley. To these men he. produced a letter which he said he had received from Sir- George, although he bad never received any letter of any description whatever from that Baronet. The time having arrived when the Noble Lord was to make his formal entry into . Stafford, ( tbe 5th March,) it took place with all line display of ribbands. First appeared a hired Loudon car- riage ; on one of the pannels were painted tbe arins of the Stafford - family ; on the dickey- box sat Baton Richard, and the. Hon. James S. S. Cooke; inside sat Mi'. Miles, the defendant who had not yet appeared ; tag, rag, and bob- tail, met the ba'- riage', tbi- horses were unyoked, aud-. tbat which is usually done on such occasions was done by the mob of the day ! Speeches were also made; and as Stafford IJCUII - piuvru TO- iiitv. e « IM* j » iicu 1.1111 . UI. IHWII.- although neither of the . other two defendants had appeared to this indictment. ' -. [ It was stated that M* r. Richard Cooke had pleaded his Peerage in abatement, and tl. at Mile was out of the country.] '>>'>•''• ".','. * Sir George Jerningbam deposed to his having inherited Stafford Castle and other estates from his ancestors. He also stated that Mr. James Cooke had applied to him in London to surrender the estates belonging to the Stafford Harotty to Mri Richard Cooke j on which occasion he referred Mr Cooke to bis ( Sir G.' s) Counsel. Twelve or thirteen witnesses having deposed to various acts committed by Cooke and his agents in Stafford Barony, which fully substantiated tlie statement of the Learned Coiui. sel, Mr. Joijles Cooke rose in his defence. After reading a long genealogy; of the Stafford family, he proceeded to state to the Jury, that when he should have finished his state- ment from the attainder of Earl Stafford, he should have proved a genealogy of upwards of 800 years— His Lordship— Which has nothing at all to do with the question. Mr. Cooke wished to shew that lie had been aetiiig legally under ah Act of Parliament. He proceeded in his own course for some time, and then contended that he had acted as the servant of his brother, and that all others wSI'i acting under him. '", - Mr. Campbell suggested the propriety of Mr, Cooke finishing his evidence before lie* addressed the Court. The Lord Chief Justice Abbott had allowed a similar procedure at th'fe' ' last Assizes. Mr. Taunton not objecting, Mr1. Cooke called Edward Smith, who objected to - igiving- his evidence, as his expenses froth Bath had not heeii paid him.

His Lordship—" Oh! the defendant on the record, I suppose; of course he cannot appear as a witness." Sampson Sellers, examined by Mr. Cooke, proved that he was present .. hen Richard Cooke fore off and burnt the power of attorney. George Watts, attorney, of Bath, proved that the instrument was prepared in his office. ( The document was then put in and read. It was a power of attorney of Richard Stafford Cooke, as the lawful proprietor of the Barony of Stafford, authorising James Stamp Sutton Cooke to act as his true and lawful agent, in whatever act or deed he shall deem necessary to aid and assist in the recovery of the said estate, attached to the Barony of Stafford.) Much documentary evidence was tendered, but disallowed. Henry Welshman.— At an interview I had with Sir George Jerningham, he said he should be glad to buy over the defendant James Cooke, if he could be depended upon. Mr. Campbell nddressed the Jury for Jenkiuson, who, he contended, had acted merely as the servant of Cooke ; and had rather to regret his eredul- ty, than lament any share he had had in the criminality of the proceedings. Tbe Learned Counsel delivered an address ardent as it was effective, and not less lucid than argumentative. Two witnesses gave Jenkinson an excellent character. His Lordship observed to Mr. Taunton, that, as at present advised, he should charge the Jury to acquit Jenkinson. Mr. Taunton felt it to be r. duty whi ? h he could not surrender, to press the case against both the defendants. He then replied, and argged strongly for the conviction of Jer. kinson.

It was au action brought by the plaintiff, formerly a farmer aud grazier of Woolscot, but now resident at Fleck- noe, to seek compensation in damages for the loss he had sustained in consequence of the negligence of the defendant, in passing a defective title loan estate, while acting for him as his attorney. After the evidence for the plaintiff had been given, the defendant's counsel addressed the jury, but called no witnesses. His Lordship briefly charged the jury, who retired, and after about half a » hour's deliber- ation found a verdict for the plaintiff, with £ 600 damages and 40s. costs. Messrs. Vaughan, Clarke, and Marriott, were plaintiff's Couusel, and Messrs. Deuman aud Reader for defendant. It is under- stood since the trial, that the defendant means to move the Court of King's Bench for a new trial.

Having acknowledged the magnitude of his offences and the equity of his sentence, and having received the consolations of religion, he prepared with becoming resignation to go through the last trying moments of his existence. He had, how. ever, buoyed himself up with the hopeofa reprieve, and this seemed lo cling to him to the last. Although neither the Reverend Gentleman who attended him, nor indeed any one else, could hold out to him the least expectation that Ihe flattering idea of a release from the hon ors of the scaffold ought lo be entertained, yet, from a tender and praisew. orthy regard for the feelings of our common nature, it was deemed right lo send to the Post- Office just previous lo the period of execution. Mr, Griffiths, the gaoler, was himself the prompt messenger of Ihe merciful but hopeless errand ; and while he was absent, and at the moment of the un- happy young man being convcyed from the inner wards to within sight of the fatal tree, a signal for hint to be detained awhile was imprudently com- municated to him by one of the attendants saying " They are gone lo tbe Post Office."

BROSTER having made these Subjects his peculiar Study from an early Period of Life— nnd having received tbe FIRST IMPRESSION ofa System, calculated for the Removal of such iinhnppy Deficiencies, from the personal Experience and Suggestions of the late EMINEST TRAGEDIAN, COOK, has, occasionally, when a 1 proper Case offered, GRATUITOUSLY practised bis System with invariable Success; few Cases compa- ratively requiring a second Lecture of Instruction. It has been long the Opinion of his Friends, that- I so great a Good should not be lost; particularly to Persons labouring under au Affliction, forming a Barrier to their future Fortune and Success in Life;. he has, therefore, been induced to form an Estabr lishment at Brook Cottage, near Chester ; and for the Propiotion of bis Design, selects a few Cases for | Refereuce and public Consideration. One of the leading Barristers nf the Bar, and ono of the principal Performers on tbe Stage, were the first Persons he instructed with Success— several Individuals, now resident in the City of Chester, he has perfectly relieved, who mav be. referred to. At the Charity School at High Legh, Cheshire, a Scholar, after one Lecture : when the Patroness of the School required an Answer lo the Question of the " Duty to our Neighbour;" without a single Hesitation the Pupil repeated the whole— not one Line of which she could before have uttered, without Stuttering scarcely to be intelligible.

The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased I; persons died by suffocation produced by the igniiion of the straw." The Jury expressed " their decided opinion that the lives of the two Unfortunate per- sons bad been sacrificed for the want of a neccssary huilding in which prisoners might be kept. The efforts of the wretched sufferers It* escape had heeu most desperate, as appeared from the bones in their hands being broken in. maoy places in vain efforts to strike through the door; some of their toes were | also broken, fVqm kicking.

Two requisitions were signed at this meeting, one to the H igh Sheriff of the County of Carmarthen, and Ihe other lo the Mayor of the Borough of Carmarthen,' requesting them to call meetings to petition Parliament against the window tax, , A cause of considerable importance to persons engaged in trade, was tried at the Hereford Arizes, wherein Mr. Treble, a wine- merchant and chemist, residingat Pembroke, was plaintiff, and Mr. Patrick Caulfiehl, an auctioneer, of the same town, was defendant. The leading features of the case were as follow :—- On the 6th of June last, Mr. CanlfteM spread a malicious report about the town of Pem- broke, lhat !\ Ir. Treble's circumstances were in a I deranged state, and that the Sheriff's officers had taken possession of his effects in conseqnence of his being unable to meet the payment ofa bill ofa large amount, and that he expected the officers ttt his house to make arrangements for the sale of the property in Ihe evening. The report having come to Mr. Treble's knowledge at the end of a week, he immediately applied lo Mr. Caulliehl, to know w hat could Mouse biin to make such a false and wicked attack upon his credit, as nothing had arisen to warrant such an assertion, and being a man io an extensive line of business, such a report, if credited, might he his |- uin ; be therefore only re- quested Mr. Caulfield would contradict the report that he bad circulated, as Ihe means of stopping further mischief. This Mr. Caulfield refused to do, upon w hich Mr. Treble brought his action, and after a full hearing, and an impressive charge IVoin the Learned Judge on the danger of depreciating Ihe credit of a my is in trade, the Jury found a ver- dict for t he plaintiff, with £ 50 damages.

'{^ p The Money to be paid at Midsummer ; and if not p tid hy the of August', to be charged One Guinea nioiv CHARGE OF MURDER— female of the name of tJaifpenny, was on Friday nig'ht last brought to otjr county « ao!,. cbatgred by a Coroner's Inquest, held before T. Hallen, ^ sq. with the Wilful. Murder of IVJary Walton. Ihe prisoner is Hie wife of a farmer of respectability residing at Bockieton, a short distance from Ten bury, in this county, and the deceased lived - With her in the capacity of'' servant. It appears that a few days previous to the. ediUmiital of Mrs- Halfpenny she called; upon the Rev. Mr. Miller, the respected clergyman of the parish, stated to: him the death of her servant, and requested him to bury the corpse at. a time much earlier than is customary after decease. For some tiaie past1 there bad been rumours in the. neighbourhood that the conduct of the accused towards her unfortunate menial was not correct,— in fact, that it was cruel and oppressive, and which, coupled with her anxiety to have the body so. hastily interred, exciting' sus- picions . in the mind of the " tie v. Gent, that all was not right, he refused to consign it to the earth until satis- fied those suspicions were groundless. He therefore desired to see the. porpse, which the prisoner object- ed to, urging-, we believe, that the oirl haviucr died of an infectious disease it would be attended with danger 10 him, and whether he did see it or 110 we are not acquainted; however* from other circum.~ l stances, tiie officer* of the parish considering; it a case which called for the interposition of the Coroner, Mr. Hallen was sunim iued, and the result of the in- vestigation was as we have mentioned above, ihe committal of Mrs, Halfpenny upon the serious charo- p. We understand that the body Was found by the jury to be considerably bruised in many places', and upon the head was a deep cut, ( supposed to liaye been inflicted by a . washing- beetle,) sufficient to cause death. The deceased vias thirty years of age, and of very weak intellect. The prisoner is about the same ag- e; she is the mother of several children, and has now an infant at her breast. Ever since the unhappv affair she has been in a very dejected state, but denies positively the guilt imputed to her, npd alleges that the fatal wound on the head was occasion- ed hy the poor girl's falling- dowq with a pail of milk. We can only hope that in the day of need she will be able 10 substantiate the truth of this asserr. tion, and both in the eyes of God and mart prove herself innocent of the foul offenceWorcester Herald*.. Foot Raiies.—- A foot race, which had excited considerable interest, and upon jbe issue, of which bets lo a large amount were depending, was decided on Monday week, at West Broinwich, upon a piece of ground agreed upon by the umpires. The con- testing parties were Mt\ James Wantling, the celebrated Perby runner, and a Mr. Samuel Bed: does, of West Bi'Omwicb ; distance 300 yards, the Derby youth giving the West Bromwich youth 12 yards at starting. The race was run in 33 seconds ; Wantling coming in ftrst hy a yard and half. Up- wards of 5000 persons, it is supposed, were collected together on the occasion.— The same day, a race was run 01? Walsall course, between two celebrated runners named panics and Palmer, for £ 50 a side, and the distance run was 1* 20 yards. It was . decided in favour of Danks, and was most severely con- tested. On He Use of Lime in Agriculturet h » {{ A North Stafford- shire FarmerI attribute, th. e iise of lime in agriculture to the . property which it pos- sesses of hastening the. dissolutiou and putrefaction of all animal and vegetable matters, and of impart- ing- to the soil a power (^ f retaining- a quantity yf moisture necessary for the flourish me lit aud^ vignrou* growti> of plants, corn, for there is no, good sqil that does not contain avcertain portion of lime, though always, without exception, combined with carbonic acid.—- When qntck- linlei is spread iipou arable land, it destroys by its causticity the orgaui. zatmu of all animal and vegetable matters, remaining- in the soil, and thus renders them a fit pabulum for a future, crop. In iif^ e manner, the lime would H'SO turn > up£, tbe tender shoots of the fresh plants, and ! sterilize instead of fsuitifving the ground; but nature ' has so ordered it, that as the lime to po\ vder on the land; . it, should gradipilly alisorb. carbonic acid from the atmosphere, which deprives it of its caus- ticity, and converts it into chalk. In some cases chalk is a very tolerable substitute for limp, when the latter is not attainable. Lime and chalk are found to he particularly 4sefulon suu< ly soils; but- 1 hate never myself had so ntuch experience in i's application to sandy soils as to ibose of a different nature. I have likewise occasionally found marls of , service in ag; riculture ; marl is a mixture of car- bonate of lime and (' lay ; they are | jsetnl in agricnL ture only in proportion to the calcareous earth Ihey contain; unless ihey contain more than 30 per cent, of lime, they are of 1,10 value to the farmer. Of all the modes of ti. ial, the one best suited to the un- learned farmer is, to observe bow much ft^ ed ? » rr the marl gives oqt; and this he will learn by dis- , solving- a little of it | n; di) utftd murialic acid, and ob- serving what porlion of ifs weight it loses by the ! escape of this airthus, if an ounce loses only ftoni 40 to44 grains, he may eonciiide that the ounce of marl contained only }( K) grai{) s of calcareous earth, ami that it would be his iliterf| t to p » y seven times as much for a load of lime as. he must pay for a load of marl al the same distance. From the plain argu- ments and facts which I have hpre useii, I should think few would pretend to dispute the incomparable utility of lime in agriculture."' 1 DREADFUL OCCURR ENOE.— Monday night an inquest Was helH at Lewisham, Kent, on view of • he bodies of Henry and Thomas Large, ( two brothers) who were ^ ui'tU while confined in the cage at that place oiijS und ay morning. It appeared that Henry'had been ^ alcen into custody on tbe previous Saturday, upoQ a change of tbroyptng vitrio) over two go^ n? belonging to Mary Long- 1 hurst, who, as well a? hitijself, was iu the service bf Miss Brookes, wljo i>: eeps an academy at Sydenham, and was placed iq the cage Jo be brought up before the Magistraies ^ reeijwich on Tuesday morning, when it , was expected he > yoijld be discharged. Q 1 Monday he complained to the person who, kept the keys of his prison that he \ yas nearly starve, d; with cold, and pegged him to lend hit$, sotpe mopey to purchase coals; he in consequence supplied him with s > nje; and on that night his brother Thomas was admitted to him lo keep him company all night. About tw< » oVJock in the morning this person was ^ oUe by the c, ries of " Murder!" pro- ceeding- from the cage, an< J on hastening thither, accompanied by the watchman, he found it eu- vcloped in flames; the cage doojp was instantly GAM « LA" WS.— The following is the substance of Mr. WORTLEY'S bill, as last amended io the Committee: — The preamble states, 4* that ihe laws now in being, prohibiting- persons, under a Certain degree or rank, and not possessing estates of, a certain annual value, from killing gailK4, and making it penal to buy or sell game, baye been found impolitic and incon- venient, and iri many cases oppi essii e and un just ; and it is therefore expedient to repeal the same, aijd to establish other provisions in lieu thereof."- rTiie first clause repeals those parts of former acts'which restrain persons not of a certain degree or rank, and not possessing thp estates in these acts specified, from killing or having in their possession gaine"'; and which imposed a penalty upon persons who. not being qualified in s/ Ji'b manner- as is presrribed hy these acts, pursue or destroy game, or who have game in their possession, or keep dogs, nets, or guns for the destruction of game; and also such parts of these acts as prohibit i| ie buying aijd selling game under penalties. Tlid second clause vests ihe pro- perty iii game in the owners of enclosed land within which such game may be found; and in Lords of Ma 11013, in cases of game being foupd in unenclosed lands; and declares ii lawful for such owners of land, Lords of Manors, % c. to Remise and let the game to be found on the j^ ame. Individuals are restrained, as now, from sporting during certain seasons, and are obliged to tal^ e out game certificates. A following clause imposes penalties on persons trespassing on lands for the purpose of sporting*, with out the owner's consent. These penalties may be imposed to an ampunt not less tbijn twenty shillings, nor more than ftve pounds, at the discretion of the Justices before whom the complaint shall be heard; and the further sum of forty shillings is added for ' every head of game taken or destroyed. On non- payment pf such penalties, ou conviction, the of- fender is to he committed to the gaol of the county,; or house of correction, there to be kept to hard laboijr, for a period not exceeding three mouths. This clause concludes by an exemption to persons ou borsebatds, hunting or coursing' with hounds or grey- hounds. The next clause enacts that trespassers may be apprehended 011 refusing lo quit the land; and the owners, or the) r servants. ami keepers, are authorised to d, em: uid th, e names and residences of such trespassers, and may require them to produce their gaiue certificates,— The clause that follows im- poses a penalty of £ 10 on any parties refusing to give their names aud residences, or to produce their certificates when Called on to do so and found tres- passing. Night poachers are proscribed by the next clause; for the first offence three months' imprison- ment and hard labour are imposed, and that at the 1 expiration tl> e poacher must give security, himself in # 10 and Iwo sureties in £ 5 each, and in default of such sureties he is lo be imprisoned to hard labour for a period of six mouths; for the second offence, he is to be committed lo hard labour for six mouths, and at its expiration find security, himself in £* 2() and two sureties in j£ iO each, and imprisoned one year if the same are not found ; for the third offence, on conviction at the quarter. sessions or assizes, he is adjudged to be a felon, and liable to transportation for seven years, or to any Other punishment the Court may think fit. The night is declared by the clause as . commencing at the expiration of the (? rst hour after, sun set, and concluding at the expiration of tbe first hour before . Hun- rise. The dealing ill game is forbidden fo atjy persons without a license, under a penalty of forty shillings. Justices are an-, ihorised to grant licenses for that purpose to any persons who^ re householders, except tavern- keepers, innkeepers, dealers in vyilje or spirits, owners, drivers or guards of any stage coach or public conveyance ; the license to he signed by two Justice's, tiothorisi, i! g the pi, » rty to deal iii game with any person who has the property it possessing a game certiii. cat. e, or license to sell game by this act: three shillings only to be paid for such license to t!) e Justice's clerk, He ihe party ob'taiiiing it to enter into recognizances to the ( Jrowij, hii^ iself in the sum » H' £ AQ ami two sureties, iu £ j. 0 each.

The ilonse then went into a Committee upon Lord AlthorpoS: Bill for the recovery of small debts The questions chiefly agitated were- the number of assessors ( judges), the pati'nus hy w hom they were to be appointed, nud the pecuniary extent of their jurisdiction; Willi respect to the first point, the Bill as it stood lixctl the number at 70, who were to he paid each at tbe rate of i' 300 a year.

It is calculated that here arc about 3,000,000 aci- cs of such land in Ihe sister kingdom. The meeting resolved to apply to Parliament for an Act; aiid a great number of persons enrolled their names for shares of the new Such is the extent of buildings now going on iu nd- about the metropolis, that it has become scarcely possible to obtain bricks for ibe purpose.

GRAPE DIET.— The physicians at Geneva send some of their patients lo Yevey, during the vintage, to take what is called a regular course of grapes, that is, lo subsist for three weeks entirely on this fruit, without tasting any other food or drink. The quantity recommended to be eaten is, in many iiislances, about seven English pounds per day. The patients generally dislike the grape diet at first, but in a few' days it becomes agreeable, and they feel no inclination for other food. An English gentleman was lately sent to take a course uf grapes, near St. Saphoiia; he was in a state of great debility, after an attack of Ihe measles, and was declining rapidly; he had eruptions over his body, and his recuv ei v seemed doubtful. After three weeks, he returned to Geneva, mucliliiftpi& f'cd in appearance, and in good health ami spirits. 1 lu certain cases of insanity, a. grape < liet is said to be very efficacious in restoring the patient to a sound state; and so far as ail enfiie change of food can effect a material change in the constitution of the patient, it may be readily admitted that subsisting entirely on grapes, for three weeks, may have a powerful influence. DISCHARGE OF CANNON BY STI AM.— Mr. Perkins, whose inventions in Ibe engraving of steel, and ioipruv'einents in ibe consli uelioir of steam- engines, are well known, bus brought to perfyciiou USEFUL DISCOVERY.— It has long heen a problem, to make or find a cement or mortar for general use, with the property of hardening under waler, or enduring iu buildings whose foundations are laid. in. marshy or wet ground. Puzzuolana- earth, from the Mediterranean, is known to possess this property, aiid is consequently used for this purpose ; but, from the expense of transport, it is not within general reach. A French engineer ( M, Vicat) has lately discovered that limestone, half- burnt, or taken out of the' fire before it is converted into quick- lime, will answer the same end. When it has undergone this process, it may, he says, be bruised, aud formed into a kind of plaster which hardens .. like ferruginous earth, ui d r water, * HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. Mr. PI. UNKKTT moved the second reading of tb Irisb'Catholics Right of Burial Bill, iu a speech of great length, hut which soiree); explained th obiee- s or provisions of the measure. As far caii be collected from Mr. Plunketfs speech, would seem that the Protestant Minister is fo be allowed lo permit the celebration of the Catliol rites of burial iii vis churchyard ; which allowance according' to' Mr. Piunkett's construction, is to be au imperative command.— No other Member spoke upon the question, and the motion for tbe second reading passed unanimously. . On the proposition for a grant to the Eritisi Museum, Mr. GREY BENNET arraigned the conduct of the. Trustees, grounding his accusation on a late number, of the Edinburgh Rrriew.~- Sir CHARLES LONG shoi- th replied, negativing in detail all the facts advanced by the Reviewer.— A conversation of same length followed, in. which Mr. CROKER suggested same improvements iu the arraugeuie of the catalogue. The most interesting . discussion of the night arose upon Mr. Hume's opposition to the grant for the Education of the Irish Poor, on the ground that the conduct of the Kildare- street Society had excited a jealousy, on the part of the Catholics • which deterred them from placing their children the schools under the patronage of this institution. — Mr.' LESLTR FOSTER vindicated the Kildare. street Society, by a reference to what that society bad done in erecting* schools, and cited in proof of its popularity in Ireland, the important fact, that ten thousand'pnuiiils bad been voluntarily subscribed in aid of its objects.— Mr. NORTH ( in a maiden speech) g- ave a lively and gratifying picture of the beneuis conferred, and those likely to be conferred upon the Irish peasantry, by the society in question ; lie stated that uv its exertions the number of schools and scholars hail been raised in a few years ( six) frmn almost nothing,, to one thousand of the one, and 79,000of tbe other ; and that the improvement iu the kind of knowledge imparled had been of still greater importance ; the old school bonks of'the peasantry, for which innocent or useful1 works bad been substituted, consisting of such as the Life of Moll Flanders; and the biography of thieves. He professed himself warmly favourable to the associ- ation ot' Protestant and Catholic children in. the same schools, and trusted that nothing would be done to interfere with the progress of tbe Kildare. street association. The Honourable Member, who had been heard at his commencement with even more than the attention usually bestowed on a maiden speech, was frequently interrupted by the. cheers of the House, and sat do\ vli amid a tumult of applause.— The Grant then passed without further opposition. HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. Earl BATHURST moved the third leading of the Slave Trade Piracy Bill; and iu order that the measure might be carried into a law in time to he conveyed to America before the separation of the Congress, lie proposed that tbe usual form of refer rinq- it to a Committee might be dispensed with. — Earl GROSVRNOB expressed his coupiirreiieo iu the wish that this measure should not he unneces- sarily retarded ; ' and animadverted with some severity upon tlie intemperate conduct of several of theColoftial legislative assemblies.— The Marquis of LANSDOVVNE gave his hearty commendation to the measure, and, the committee being negatived, the Bill was read'a third time and unanimously passed.' Stomeetie s » 5 J^ tfiflti. In the House of Commons on Monday flight was noticed the discovery of a posthumous work of Milton, hy Mr. Lemon, Deputy , Keeper of State Papers. ' Lhe existence af such a work, and its title, are mentioned, by. Wood,, in his Athence Ojeoniensp, and afterwards by Birch in his Life of the Poet, but, until the discovery of Mr. Lemon, of the Slate Paper Office, no clue was possessed for tracing this valuable literary treasure. It was only kriowii, upon the authority of Wood; that the manuscript had been last seen in the possession of Mr. Cyi'iac Skinner, a merchant of London, and, as all the readers of Milton know, the intimate ftiendof our great bard. How it afterwards, got into the Slate. Paper Office cannot now be ascer- tained hut it is a, singular . fact* . lUat when dis- covered, the manuscript was wrapped in an en yelope, with the address upon it, " To Mr. Skinner, merchant." By the Report of the Special Committee on Negro Slavery, in the Legislature of South Caro- lina, it appears that in that State alone there are 258,478 slaves, valued al 77,543,000 dollars, averaging 300 dollars each. In the United States there are about one million five hundred thousand! The Gazette has announced officially the appoint- ment of General Francis Marquis Hastings, K... G. and G. C. B. and G. C.

The canoes are of a light description, but as they are to be carried over the projecting headlands and promonlories, the}' are to be inflated when used. Captain Lyon will endeavour by the use <> f sitnilar canoes,; to trace the coast from Repulse Bay to Copper- mine River, whilst Captain Parry will again pass ' into Lancaster's Sound, and in the neighbourhood of M- ejvil! e Isbnd renew his endeavour to make a successful passage thence to Behring's Straits, and thus accomplish the great object of the expedition. Every care, will be taken to prevent similar priva- tions to, those experienced by the former land ex- peditlon.-— Star. > Civil benefit of Missionary Ererfions.— It appears by the last report of the Church Missionary Society, that at the Quarter Sessions in th$ Colony of Sierra Leone, the Chief Justice observed, when addressing the Inquest, that, ten years ago, when the population of the colony was only 4,000, there were fd » ; fy cases oh the calendar for trial; and, now that the population was upwards of 16,000, there were only six cases on the calendar: he congratulated the Magistrates and Grand Jury on the moral improvement of the Colony. tl There was not a single case from any of the villages under the. superintendence of a Missionary or Schoolmaster when the Chief Justice found that this was the fact, he dismissed us aud our constables in a very civil manner, as having no business to attend to at the Quarter Sessions; and we departed well pleased.", * j i • {<•••. •'••"' CAUTION.— At the Police Office in Chester, on ihe 13th ult. a case of assault came before the Magis- trates, in which Jwo fish;- carriers aud higglers, with another of their cronies in the same line, were the parties — With the nssa, ult. the. public can have little to do, hut tlMTf may ibe . reason, to fear that'their unutual jqcriminationsy charging each other; and their. severarconuectlons, with having bren dealers in base money, & c., are. founded in truth.

TJ. i. e . fact, we believe, is as follows:— Mr. Pt- rkins, \\ bile experimenting' on the expansive force of steam, subjected to very elevated ieinperature, with the view uf applying, its, power to the purposes of the steam- engine, was very' naturally led. to iiu'estigate its application in many Other departmentV of art, wliere: great mechanical force wsts required ; and, amongst others, to that of discharging ordnance. We are enabled to give a brief description of the p- esent apparatus ; . which is constructed with the view of show ing theapplication of steam to this purpose, rather than as a model. A copper pipe of tw « » inches diameter is connected at one extrefnity with the steam reservoir hehorging to Mr. Perkins's improved engine, and at the other end with a chamber formed of metal flanges ; iu, to this chamber a strong gun. barrel: is"' firmly screwed, so as to be perfectly air- iighr, ( aod t^ u others connected with it,) and extended- in a horizontal direction. From the upper port ion of the eliiinvfrer, two p'lp^ s • or tubes project win* ut 15 inches, of sufficient diame ter to allow musket bullets to pass freely ddwrV, fi » r the purpose of loading or shotting the gun.

BREAKING OF STONES BY MACHINERY— A machine has recently been constructing at Cutzmer's Foundry, Leith Walk, Edinburgh, and is now finished, tor breaking stones into road me! al. The principle is extremely simple ; the stones are crushed and broken between two rollers, in the same manner as snalt is bruised between the rollers of a malt mill; only that the rollers, in the present ase, are thickly studded with conical knobs or teeth, projecting from the surface of the rollers, all round, and the knobs of the one toiler pitching into the hollows of the other, in the same manner as is pract ised in the crushing of bori. es for. manure. The oilers are about twelve inches diameter, and are worked by a steam engine, which is set upon wheels, nd so constructed that it may be moved to dipereht parts of the rpad ; and after breaking all the & tones that may he lying at one, place, it is moved to a different station, where it again com. Mences its operations. Its, engine is of the high pressure kind, like- other locomotive engines. Its boiler consists of a long cylinder of east iron, about three or four feet diatheter, in the inside, of which there is a smaller tulie, which forms the furnace and grate, and terminates in a funnel or chimney rising fifteen or twenty feet high. Within the boiler, the cylinder of tiie engine is also set in an upright position. The engine is an eight or ten horse power, and the whole weight of the apparatus is about niuepr ten tons. This machine, we understand, is likely to do well. 11 is going off to the West of England, where there are already engines on a similar plan, which are said to break at the rale of 100 cart loads in a day. MEN IN THE MOON.— If we are to believe an article in one of the Hamburgh papers, the problem as to the Moon being inhabited, is now completely set at rest, as a German Professor at Munich, rnarkablc for " an extremely quick sight," has Vibt only discovered a fortress, but seveiai, tcgulai'tlv made roads, in that luminary. FVoni the qn'i^ k sight of the Professor, we may anticipate furtfier discdvcrieg ; and trust he will be able to ascertain whether the i oads are RP A dam/ zed or not; how many gnus are mounted on the fortress; what are the causes of hostilities among the men ht the Moon, ( for where, there are fortresses there are vyars ;) and if his . telescope is like lhat of the Irish Baronet, who could not only see a church twenty miles off, but hear the congregation singing psalms, the Professor will perhaps, be able to hear the fortress fire a feu de- joie on some public occasion. taroijmciat antr fttiBccllattrotts. Tewkesbury Severn Bridge, at the Myliie, is proceeding with all possible expedition imder the supeiinteudauce of that Celebrated engineer M Telford, whose design of this" structure combines all ihe elegance, stability, and magnificence, for which his works are so remarkable..

Two of the whippers- in of Lord Ansou's hounds, who were employed in clearing the course, were riding at a smart pace towards the same spot, and their horses meeting each other, their heads came violently in contact. The men were boih thrown from their seats and much injured; one of them bad bis leg broken in the fall, they are, bow- ever, now out of danger. The horses are both dead ; one ot them died ou the spot, and the other in a few hours afterwards. At the Hunt Bull, on Wednesday evening, upwards of two hundred persons of fashion aud distinction were present. mainly relied ; but after an eloquent and forcible reply from the plaintiff's advocate, and a W ® st impartial summing up by the Under Sheriff, the Jury believing the plaintiff's witnesses in opposi- tion to the evidence of Tedd, found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages £ 396. On Thursday, at Mary- lc- bone Police- office, Stephen Herman, a silver spoon- maker, residing ill Pentongrove, Pe » tqnvi|| e, was lirqugbf before the Sitting Magistral!, charged with having been concerned in stealing a parcel, containing £ 5,000 in notes of Messrs. Taylors and Lloyds' Bank, in Birmingham. The prisoner went into the shop of Mr. Corder, linen- draper, in Cavepdish strpet, on Wednesday evening, and purchased some goods amounting to £ 3. IBs.; after they were ' packed up, lie tendered for payment a £ 5 note of ( he Binning* ham Bank, dated in 1818, anil payable at Hanbu ty aiid Co.' s, London. The shopman said it was nut their practice to take country notes, and the prisoner put the note again into, his pocket, desiring the goods to he sent to his address—•'• John Wil- liams, Edmund- street, Hattle- bi- idge," with Ibe change of a note; he then went away. The shop- men recollecting the robbery of a number of notes of Ihe Birmingham Bank, and having noticed Ihe suspicious, appearance, of - the prisoner, two of them followed, and brought hiitl back. He seemed ex, ccedingly frightened; and instantly put into his mouth and swallowed a piece of paper, which ap- peared like the note he tendered. The shopman detained him until his employer came home, when he was given into the care of an officer, who dis- covered that the address Ihe prisoner had given was a false one. He was remanded for further ex animation. Jlssize Intelligence. STAFFORD ASSIZES. M. R. BOHLTON, E » q. V.

Be should now allude to some depositions before him. It was a rule, in taking these deposi- tions before Magistrates, that' witnesses, when, examined, Should sign them; and fliey ought to be a faithful record of what passes, and, above all,, contain the nctual words and expressions of the witnesses as they deliver them. He bad one depo- sition ih which it did not appear whether tbe exa- mination was on oulli Or rtbt, or whether taken by the Clerk to tbe Magistrates or the Clerk lo the parish! Documents could not be received in Court ins evidence unless signed by Ihe Magistrate; this deposition was iioi signed by Magistrate or wit- nesses! His Lordship ably commented on tiie necessity of more care in-' taking depositions, tbe importance of having every ei rcumstanec detailed, both respecting prisoner and witnesses, all taken upon oath, and signed by the Magistrate, specifying also the county lie acted iu ; aud the using proper forms of commitment, which may be had printed and adapted to almost every case— a recommendation which be was certain every Magistrate would attend to. PRICES OF RACE- HORSES.— During the last few years, about £ 2000 has been the maximum for tlie reputed best colt of the year Five thousand guineas were offered and refused for the celebrated Smolensko, before he went to Epsom. In the Newmarket October meeting, 1805, a bay colt by Pipator, sold for 15,0011 guineas. A chesnut two- year- old colt by BeningbrOugh, a bay two- year old colt by Volunteer, and a brown three- year- ofd filly, Orange Girl, by Sir Peter, sold for 15,000 guineas each. Lord Fillwilliam refused 3000 guineas for Sir Paul by Sir Peter, out of Pearl by Tandem. Aboul half acentury- siiice, Lord Grosvenor offered Mr. Pigotl 111,000 guineas for Shark, as the horse was leading off tha Course at Newmarket, to be token out of training. It was reported that O'Kelly refused nearly double that sum for his Eclipse, replying to the offer, lhat " all Bedford Level would not purchase Eclipse." To go half a century further hack, a report has been handed down, from father to son, ibat a Welsh sportsman offered the Duke of Devonshire, for Flying Chit- tiers, the horse's weight in crowns and half- crowns, w hich tlie Duke refused. LATE ADMIRAL DE COURCY. Having entered the Navy early in life; he was made a Post Captain in 17& i. At the commence. iiient of the war in 1793, lie commanded the Pearl, and in 1795, the Magiiiininie frigate, in which he captured the Decade. French frigate, and several privateers. In the action off Ireland, under Sir J. B. Warren, he particularly distinguished himself. In the Canada, to which ship lie was next ap- pointed, he had an opportunity of displaying the excellence of his professional . judgment, and uobb devotedness of duty nnd friendship. The Mars - bearing tbe flag of Rear- Admiral rhornborough, having been totally dismasted in asevere gale, bail drifted close to the rocks near Usbant, Whilst the Mars WHS in this perilous situation, the Canada, by extraordinary exertion, succeeded in getting a cablc on board of her, and taking her in tow, after tvvo other ships had previously failed in tlie at- tempt. The rocks nt that time were within a mile to leeward, a dark night approaching, and a gale blowing. The danger to both ships- was imminent, and prudence might have justified an abandonment of the disabled ship ; but such a measure was disdained, aud by carrying a press of sail and frequently wearing, Captain de Courey kept both ships off Ihe Shore, until a providential and sudden change of wind at length crowned his efforts with success, arid he bad the satisfaction of towing the Marsinto Plymouth. In 180% he obtained hisflag. In 1809, lie commnnded the squadron which was employed in the embarkation of Sir John Moore's armv at Com ma. Never was a service better performed. The excellence of his arrangements, to which the army owed its safety, reflects high honour ou his professional ability. Oil that oc- casion, he received the thanks of bot'i Houses of Parliament, Tbe Admiral, was next appointed to the command of the squadron at the Brazils. Op this stat> n he remained nearly four years, during which period, his conduct gained, him tbe entire approbation of bis own Government, tlie highest respect of the British merchants, wbnse interests he ever appreciated and protected, aud the esteem and friendship of the present King of Portugal, as a distinguished mark of wbicli, that Moiiandi was pleased, with the insignia which decorated bis own person, to invest the Admiral with the Order of the Tower and Sword. Maxims of Neatness and Order.— Remember lhat litter is a hydra, which it requires constant care to overcome. In a thousand shapes it h. tunls every room, drawer, shelf, table, and even chair, and left to itself, will sometimes swallow up articles of tlie greatest value; for if ihe judgment of Ihe housemaid be trusted to, all is lost; she has not patience to separate the chaff from the wheat, and often picks up the former, while she throws away the laller. Never keep a professed receptacle for litter, which often degenerates into absolute rubbish, and never trust to a day of setting to rights;-— what is kept in its proper place never needs that trouble. Do not imagine lhat neatness and care demand any unnecessary sacrifice of time, for no time is so completely lost as in hunting for lost things: but lhat is so much saved which had been employed in providing a place for every article, so that it may readily be found even in the dark. The necessity of a neat arrangement of tellers, papers, and accounts, to ensure our safety, as well as to spare trouble, need not he insisted on. Remember lhat a young lady's chest of drawers is sometimes taken as a prophetic criterion ot her future menage, and may be considered no unapt representation of the arrangement in her memory of the acquirements she has made in learning. What can be more pitiable than a heterogeneous mass of litter io Ihe attic story either of the human frame or the dwelling in which it resides ? and what more ap palling to the families, than to open a drawer filled with things new and old, gloves, dirty and clean, paired and unpaired, skeins of silk and fcotton','\ entangled in a mass, scattered beads, bit's of silk and muslins, soiled ribands, scattered holes of business, and letters of affection cut into squares by the creases worn in them ! To Ihe most ancient vehicles of popular instruc. lion belonged the Parable or Apologue, of which the Sacred Scriptures themselves furnish us with numer- ous instances. Among modern productions nf this class, we know none to he compared toa volume of PARABLES which lias just been presented to the British public. They inculcate moral and religious truths in so pleasing a manner, and are so admirably adapted to encourage the best affections of the human mind, aud lo promote the spirit of genuine Christianity, that we sincerely hope ibis volume will ere long find its way into every family iu the United Kingdom. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. - On Thursday after, noon, the illh ult. as Mr, J. Harvey, a Couiinoner of Wadham College, Oxford, was taking the diver- sion of rowing in a skiff between lffiey and that city, near the Weirs, it is supposed he stood up in the boat to disencumber himself of bis rowing jacket. Al this instant his oar dropped from his band, and in endeavouring to . recover it, lie over, balanced himself, and fell into the stream which was extremely rapid. He caught, however, to the side of the boat, and exclaimed, " Save me! save me!" but the boat instantly filled and sunk, to- gether with ( lie unfortunate gentleman, who was not seen aaain alive. Several other Members of the University were rowing about at the time, and re- paired instantly to the spot: one of them, Mr. Taylor, of Biasenose College, son of the Rev. Dr, Taylor, of Hereford, courageously dived inlo the river several times, using every effort lo find the body, but in vain. After dragging for Iwo hours, the body was found near the place where the ac- cident happened. The house of Miss Grove, of Mere, Wills, was on Wednesday night week burglariously entered and robbed of a considerable quantity of plate. On Ihe discovery of the robbery ill the morning, an alarm was g ven, and three spirited gentlemen of that neighbourhood started on horseback in pursuit of the robbers, and at about a mile from Frome, in their way to Bath, secured them with tlieir whole booty ( about 201b ) beaten flat, and concealed under their dresses. The thieves were conveyed to the nearest Magistrate for Wills, by whom they were fully committed for trial.— Their names ar George Woodman, of Trowbridge, and George Clayton, of North Bradley; both had just finished ail imprisonment in Devizes Bridewell ( Woodman only on the Monday preceding !) wheie, it appears, the plan for this robbery was arranged. A girl named Emma George, of Redruth, Corn- wall, has been committed lo Bodmin gaol for tbe murder of her brother, a child aboul seven years old, She tied a silk handkerchief round bis neck, and hung htin lo a n ook behind the door, exclaim- " There, go to heaven!"

STRATFORD ON- AVON, MARCH 24, 18- 24.— Before Thomas Hunt, Esq. the Under Sheriff, and a Special Juri/.— HOME R. MASON.— This was a writ of inquiry of damages in an action brought by* the plaintiff,* a respectable chemist and druggist in Birmingham, against, the defendant, 3. merchant tliere, tb recover damages for breaches of the de- fendant's covenants in. a lease granted to him hy the plaintiff, of a dwelling- house, hot- house, and g- arden, at Kaye- HiH. Birmingham, for a term which had expired at Christmas, 1822.— The plain- tiff complained that the defendant, who had cove- nanted to properly cultivate the vines, and to keep the garden, which was described as one of great beauty, in good order, aiid so to deliver up the premises at the end of the term, had, in the fourth year, let the vine- house and garden to a market gardener of the name of Tedd, who had converted the garden into a common nursery, and so continued it to the end of the term, when it came to the plain- tiff's hdnds in a ruinous and barren state, with the vines in a most wretched condition, owing tothe improper treatment thereof by the nurseryman fo his objects of present g- ain. This statement was. supported by a variety of witnesses, against whose evidence was principally opposed that of Tedd, the nurseryman, 011 which the defendant's counsel entrances to his estate Jyeie obstructed; his fence plantations, and gro* liV, ds. injured, atid the value of his property depreciared. Piaintiff' admitted he had no right to controul the T r ns fees i n the exe reise 0 ft he i r . powers ove c tb e road s in( question, hut he contended that if. by the exercise of; thV) s, P powers' lie was damnified., be was entitled , toi restitution and compeu: saii'uti_; restitution of those... aec6mmindatiohs and advantages he possessed before the alterations, in all. cases wh. er. e they could . be re- stored, and compensation where restitution was im- prac'icable. Plaintiff- s witnesses stated, . that in order to give him the same degree of accommodation, . protection, and screen he possessed before the altera- tiofeis, with respect to the roads and fences, an expen- diture of upwards ot,£ 900 would, he required ; and that the depreciation of the estate, considered as applicable for building purposes, would amount to upwards of £. 1800. This evidence . was supported by Mr. Josiah Robini, Mr, Kempson, Mr. Cheshire, Mr. Harding, and jMr. Mare. Defendant, w) ti the - other hand, alleged that they acted , in discharge of a public duty, that what they had d^ ne was a great public improvement, and that they were willing' to have given plaintiff' con- venient entrances, and removed and secured his fences, but that he rejected their offers, on the ground that what they proposed was not sufficient, and that he was also entitled to compensation for the injury and depreciation of his land. Defendant called witnesses to shew that the sum of £ 47.15s. 4d. would be sufficient to restore to plaintiff* his entrances, and remove and secure his fences, and that his land was improved instead of deteriorated for building purposes. Defendant's evidence upon these points were Mr. Frost and Mr. Price ( the contractors for making the alterations), Mr. Fowler, Mr. Wren, Mr. Jacob, and Mr. Potter. Mr. Justice Park, in charging the Jury, observed, that the Act of Parliament empowered the Trustees for the improvement of the road to go through a man's house, nay, even his parlour, tendering a compensation, and to execute any works on their own road without being subject to consequential damages, unless the Trustees, acted arbitrarily, op- pressively, and without due care, in which case the1 question of . damages would be let in ; but if the Jury should. be of opinion that there was nothing arbitrary or oppressive in defendant's proceedings, and he thought there was not— if due care had been used by defendant, and it appeared to him there had—- then the Jury would find their verdict for the defendant, according to the directions of the Act. And in case they found a verdict for the plaintiff, he should de sire them to state wherein they thought the conduct of the defendants had been arbitrary, oppressive, neglectful.— The Jury, without retiring, fouud verdict for the defendant. STAFFORD— Charles Bunnell, aged 16, was charged, with Horse- stealing;— James Rogers, son of Mr. Hogers, butcher, of Long nor, proved that his father had borrowed the pony of Mr. Smart, of Sheiistone, in August fast; and that on the 15th of that month he had left it safe in his father's field, between five and six in the evening, with three shoes on; on* the following morning it was gone ; the prisoner, Bonnell, lived near his father's house. Joliij Spittle, a horse- dealer, living at Dudley, de- posed that he went to Ashborne fair on the i6th of August, and saw the prisoneV with a pony about a mile from the town, il had but three shoes < m, I'e bought, it for two pounds : prisoner said it was his father's pony ;. sold it again in the course of an hour or two for three guineas. This witness was recalled, and up ® n a question from the Judge, was compelled to confess that he had told Bonnell that he was about to send his son to Horncastle fair, where the pony should be taken and disposed of, and never seen in this part of the country again. Spittle was corro borated by the person who had bought the pony from him, and lingers by Smart, the owner. The prisoner, in his defence said,, that he had bought the pony from a stranger, as he was going to Ashborne fair;; he also called upou a person whom he recog- nized in court to speak to his character, Mr. John Morrjs, a respectable innkeeper at Bilston, who said he had known the prisoner two years, that he had never heard a good character of him; and he had observed him frequently • shackling about at fai by shackling he meant showing off' horses for per sons that were selling. His Lordship kindly observe; to the jury, that it was rather in favour of the pri soner than otherwise that he had requested this gentleman, whom he had accidentally recognized in Court, to appear in the witness box, expecting of course he had never known any thing amiss of him. Verdict— guilty. Judgment of death recorded.— Mr. Baron Garrow, during the examination of the witnesses, in his remarks to the jury at the conclu- sion of the case, and in his address to the prisoner after the verdict had been given, expressed in vei strong terms his reprehension of the conduct of tl horse- dealer, Spittle, whose expenses would not be allowed, and whom, if the ease could have been got up, as the lawyers say, without him, he should not have been sorry to have seen standing by the sid> . of. the prisoner at the bar, and he would done his duty by transporting him for 14 years. At the same Assizes, John Bayliss was charged with horse- stealing.-^- The constable of Willenhall apprehended this prisoner at Willenha.!! with a lior 111 his possession, which he was endeavouring sell, on the 3d of September, 1823, « nd which horse had been subsequently owned by Mrs. Hibbert; of Preston, in Lancashire, a distance of 100 miles from Willenhall, where it was grazing, quietly on the evening of the lst of September. The constable stated that when young. Hibbert came to examine the horse in his field; although be had refused to take corn from any of the strangers among whom he bad g'ot, when his young master called out< 4 Come, Bobby! come} iidb by /" he pricked up his ears, ran to him, and laid his head in Mr. Hibbert's breast. Verdict— guilty. Sentence of death recorded. A hint to Grand Jurors in regard to their duty, when public Bridge indictments come before them.-*" Mr. Baron Hullock, in addressing the Grand Jury at Lincoln, observed, that he deemed it necessary to advert to the indictments for not) repair of bridges, which would come befoie the Grand Jury, and to which he requested their attention. In casts where occasional repairs had been, at any time, for convenience, done by a parish, or other district less than the division of the county, it wa^ not necessary that the" Jury should consider such repairs as evidence of the non. liability of the division. It was enough for them to inquire, whether the bridge was a public bridge, and out of repair ; and if such' proved to be i the case, it ivas their duty to find the bill^ leaving any further inquiry to the court in which the indictment would be tried."-— Stamford Mercury. MAIDSTONE.— Wells v Sygulden — This was an action on the 55th Geo. HI. to recover penalties against the defendant as an overseer for supplying the poor of the parislvbf Cranbournc wilh butcher's meat, for his own profit, and while in office. The idefeuda'nt had been hi office two years, and during < ih| at time had in his business of a butcher supplied the workhouse witli meat for its inmates, and was paid the amount. It was suggested that on or. e occasion he had sent part of the csrcase of a calf hich had been prematurely killed in consequence of disease, but of this there was no distinct proof—- For the defence, the only point taken was, that as there was an assistant overseer in the parish, Who received a salary for his trouble* and as the latter had ordered the meat of the defendant, the case is not within the statute.— The Lord Chief Baron as of opinion that the case was clearly within the ct; hut said he would reserve the point, if the defendant's Counsel had any confidence in it— The ry were directed to find for the plaintiff for ore penalty of £ 100. HORSHAM, MARCH 22.— Wm. George Angel, aged 17, son of the Deputy Postmaster of Chi- chester, was indicted for stealing from that Post Office, on Feb. 8, a letter containing bank bills and notes to the amount of £ 100, the property of Messrs. Winter and Ridge, iron merchants, at Bankside, Surrey. The prisoner was also indicted al common law for stealing the same. To this latter he pleaded guilty, upon an understanding that he should not be prosecuted for the offence against the statute, whereby his life would be in jeopardy.— Mr. Sergeant Onslow for the prose- cution, stated, that, in consequence of the prisoner's youth, lie was not instructed to offer any evidence pon the chargc affecting his life.— The Jury found him Not Guilty accordingly ; and for the larceny he was sentenced to be transported for seveu \ eais. The prisoner was a young man of very respectable ppearance.

This occupied the Court ten hours. The defendant had pleaded a justification. The jury found that the defendant had proved the alleged libel to be true in substance and effect, but there were tvvo points stated in thef libel which were not proved ; they therefore gave a verdict for the plaintiff— damages Is. with leave for the defendant to move the Court of King's Bcnch lo cuter a verdict for the defend- ant, if Ihe Court should be of opinion that the finding the alleged libel to be true in substance and effect was a justification of the two points not proved. WINCHESTER ASSIZES.— John Sanderson was found guilty of uttering a bill for £ 49. 7s, on 8th September last, purporting to be drawn by Joseph Armitage, on Smith, Payne, and Smith, bankers, London. The priso'ner applied at th& banking- house of Hector and Co. Petersficld, to get the bill discounted, sfat'iiig that he had received it from a peison of respectability,: in Nelson- square, London. He was, he said, a ' stranger' in tlie town, and his reasOn for offering the bill was, that he had met with a horse which he wished to purchase. The bankers informed the prisoner that the bill should be sent to town," and on Ihe following Wednesday he should have an answer. This, he said, would be inconvenient, but still he would do so. Suspicion arising, inquiry was made at the inn, which the prisoner had left, and a pursuit being determined upon, be was overtaken on tiie London road, and brought back to Petcrsfield. A clerk from the banking- house of Smith and Co. proved that the bill was not of their acceptance, and that the drawer vvas not known at their house.

HEREFORD.— Sir W. Garrow, who presided at the Crown Bar, addressed the Grand Jury; and after some introductory observations, his Lordship said, he had on former occasions noticed the irregu- larity of the depositions which were laid before him, and he was happy to state those documents, so important for the due discharge of his high office, were now more regular. He paid an eloquent and just compliment to the Magistracy of, the Kingdom, for the able and disinterested manner in which they filled the arduous duties, they undertook for the welfare of society ; nothing he could say would raise fjjem in the estimation of the country, where their value was so well, understood, and he trusted lie should not be blamed for what he was about to state He suspected the law of depositions was not perfectly understood/, it was necessary they should be taken ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.— Benjamin Thomas, aged 18, was sentenced to 14 years' transportation, at Lancaster, for the manslaughter of Georgv Jones, at Liverpool, in May last.
