INTRODUCTION. jR. LAMERT, in recommend iny; the celebrated Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phcpnix of Life, to a discriminating Public, disdains the Idea qf following the Steps of those Precursors, w ho, by a vaiir Display of a little Learning, and a g- reat deal of Ingenuity, mislead the Public; a Truth too frequently exemplified by Pretenders to Science in the present Day. Actuated by a spirit of genuine Philanthropy, he feels it his highest Gratification to announce, that in the Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, he possesses the means ; » f alleviating, and by due Perseverance, of completely annihilating t|) V). se insidious Disorders, which not only deprive Life of its every Enjoyment, but sap'he Very Foundation of our Existence, and involve the Patient in a Vortex of premature, but unavoidable Destruction. Governed solely by such Motives, so huiuape, genuine, and disinterested, Dr. L. cannot hut ensure the Gratitude of the afflicted, the Approbation of the good, and the sincere Benediction of Mankind. On that Assurance : he takes his stand, and fny. ites the Suffering to come and be healed. ITS VIRTUES.

The CORDIAL BALM OP ZHRA, or Pbcqnix of Life, forms tlie most powerful, stimulating, and highly flavoured Medicine jn the whole Materia Medica.

Case of this in- valuable Cordial was sent by the Sultan p> Queen Elizabeth, spid was taken by her Majesty as a noble Renovator of the whole System. It has ,| » een found by a most extensive and respectable private Practice, to be the most efficacious Medicine extant, for strengthening tiie ^ Nerves. removing- all Obtftructions in the Siomaoh and Lungs, cherishing the Heart, reviving the Spiri- ts,^ strengthening the Memory, promoting Digestion,; dispelling Flatuleopies, dis- persing- the .

This Tea, so. pleasant to the Taste and Smell, is an effec- tual Por. ifter of the Blood, and, by promoting gentle Perspiration, powerfully assuages those excruciating Paitis derived from the Gout or Rheiimutisin.; and is of sovereign Efficacy in removing Coniplaints of the Head, invigorating th* f Mhid. frbin^ those self- created Alarms which loo frequently render the Existence of Nervous P. eople intolerabje..

' / HOUSE O F LO il DS — THURS DAY. TJ » e Earl of DARM. RY, . pursuant to notice, moved for ihe appointment of a committee, to inquire how far the measures lately adopted for the relief & bene- fit of Ireland had succeeded ; and also to consider what measures would be necessary to remedy the . Existing evils in that kingdom. T!: e Noble Earl introduced his motion in a long speech, in which, . besides the other topics usually employed upon the subject, he urged the cruelty and tyranny of Eng- l- nd, impeached the administration of justice in 1 eland, condemned the police hill, complained of tiie church ' establishment., enforced the necessity of catholic emancipation, ana professed his compas- sionate ur. pee't for the well- disposed but inefficient government in the sister kingdom.' The Earl of LivKRp'oo $.','>• withfimt disputing the u- o just and selfish.,- policy- formerly observed towards Ireland, yiudicaled the present generation of Eng. lishmen fro many participation in it, and recited 5 vast number of generous concessions which, since the . commencement of'the late King's reign, had been made for 3he .' benefit of Ireland. He main- tained that the present depression of that kingdom was wholly uncon necked with the disqualification of the Catholics ; and opposed all the arguments upon that subject, drawn from the analogy of other States, by observing, that in Ireland aloue was the religious division of the people accompanied by a parallel division of property, intelligence, and manners, In Ireland, it. was notorious that the great hulk of the property, and all the qualifications naturally associated with properly, belonged to the Protestants. Much of the suffering of Ireland h ascribed to a " premature introduction of the English ( H> yjst. it\ i. tj « . a'v; but for 1 he omission of one part ofthe English code.— » tlte Poor Laws — he avowed his regret; He professed to hope the best results from the extension of Christian education ; hut begged to remind the House that in the nature of thing - this result could not . be very speedily felt.— In con ciusjou. v- he opposed the motion . The Maiqu'IS'of LANSDOWNE spoke at consider able length in support of the motion. The Earl of LIMERICK earnestly deprecated the introduction of poor rates into Ireland. He said the effect of such a measure would be, to make of the Irish peasantry six millions of beggars; because no Irishman, who could ! iv « idly, would work The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE, the Earl of CAR N A- iVON, and Lord C/- LFNEN, supported the motion. The Eurls of CARBERRY, MAYO, and RODEN opposed it ; the last, in a speech of some, length, giave a most gratifying description of the recent progress of education in Ireland. (> n a- division, the motion was rejected by a ma- " jority of 67 to 17. HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. An interesting debate took place on tlie Usury Repeal Bill, on, which Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW had moved for a Committee. On the motion for the Speaker leaving the Chair, Mr. R. BRANSBY COOPER said, that notwithstanding the arguments which had been advanced in favour of this Bill on its last discussion, lie still retained his opinion that it was an unwise, an unnecessary, and even a dan- gerous measure. So impressed was he with its danger, that he felt it to be his duty to move as an amendment, " that this Hill be committed this day • : x moutlis.^— Mr. DAVENPORT seconded the mo- tion ; and on a division there were, for the amend ment, 58, against it' 74,;- majority 16.— Several d sinus afterwards tffo| c place; but the final one was by Mr, LITTLETQ. N, who, w hen the Chairman asked leave; to sit agirhvon Tuesday next, moved, 4< that this day six months be inserted instead of Tuesday next..' 1 This was carried by a majority of 67 to 63, so that the Bill is lost for the Session by a majority of four. HOUSE OF LORDS- FRIDAY. The Earl of LIVERPOOL objected to exempt the Freemasons of Ireland from the operation of- the Act relative to Secret Societies, aud stated that the influence of Government would be exerted to put down secret societies and processions . of every de- scji p. tion, an d of al I parties, i n that, k i ngdoui. The further consideration of the Dissenters' Mar- riage Bill was deVerred until after the holidays. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. Mr. Serjeant ONFLOW gave notice that, he should again attempt a repeal of the Usury Laws next Session. The C'IIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should shortly propose a repeal of the duty on French Kid Gloves. In a Committee of the House, the Right Hon. Gentleman afterwards moved an additional grant of £ 500,000 to the Commissioners for the building of New Churches, and the proposition gave rise to considerable ' dfecttssinn. Mr. HORKOUSK objected, aiid moved an. amendment declaring such a vote inexpedient; and he was supported in his opposi- tion by Mr. HUME and Mr. W. SMITH : Mr. PEEL, Dr. LUSHINGTON, Lord PALMERSTO. V, and Mr. GORDON, on the other hand, advocated the mea- sure, which was at length carried bv a division of 148 to 59. The tlfect of the favourable view of the public finances, exhibited in the Quarter's Account, was powerfully aided by the announcement that the asreuts, to. the Commutation of the 4 per Cents. amounted on Monday, to 64 rmUions'j Consols Closed in consequence at 95 § f; the probability that ail the Great Powers will follow the example if England in reducing the interest of their public debt, leads to a - belief that Consols will, ere long, reach par. Tire subscription for the settlers at the Cape of Good Hope has received the accession, of several 1 distinguished contributors. The recent letters from the Cape show the increasing claims of the unhappy settlers on the public compassion. The fourth cvop had totally failed, and even the more opulent set tiers were obliged to live on rice, pur- chased at a great expense. Sierra Leone Gazettes to the 17th of January notice 44 the very great increase of the gold trade during the past year."— Not only have gold traders arrived in caravans, but even singly, across an immense': tract of'country., whence it is plain that the sta'e of the interior is much meliorated. Isaaco, ' lie celebrated guide of Mungo Park, had reached Port Logo on his way from Sago, bringing with him 3,000 dollars' worth of gold ; and numberless individuals were daily offering small quantities for barter. It is a fact of no small . interest to the mother.- country, that both at Sierra Leone and on the Gambia, the natives in the barter fur gold require nearly the whole in British manufactures— such as muslins and printed cottons. The trade, throughout the whole line of coast, has increased beyond the most sanguine expectation. The timbe trade flourishes so much, than no less than twelve vessels were loading, or preparing to load; and it was believed that the preparing of their cargoes would occupy not fewer than five thousand of the natives, whose sole payment was in British niahu factured goods. Rice is an article of general cul- tivation tiyioiig the natives. Native youths are educating in the colony, to spread Christianity in the iuteriori . The individuals who are to ccmpose the Court of Chancery Commission of luquiry, are at length all named. They are— The Lord Chancellor Eldon. Lord Redesdale, Lord Colchester, Lord Gifford, Sir J. Leach, Dr. Lnshington, Mr. Wm. Courtney, Mr. Ti tidal, Mr. Littledale, Mr. Cox, Mr. Robeil Smyth. Official Intelligence has at length been received from the British squadron off Algiers Admiral H. B. Neal was off that port in the Revenge, w ith five frigates. The Dey had refused to treat, . and was making preparations to sustain a bombard- ment. For this purpose he had dismantled the vessels of' war which were in the Bay, and had drawn them up under the Mole, tie had also commanded au immense number of troops from the interior to man the fortresses. The rumoured dissolution of Parliament at the end of the present Session is contradicted by the ministerial papers, as from authority. Lord Gifford entered upon the duties of his new office at the Rolls Court yesterday. Mr. Scarlett has arrived in town from the ' northenr'Circoit in better health than when h< proceeded thither. adoption. Tie contended that it was unnecessary in the present state of the Continent. Even when there was a Popish Pretender residing in a Foreign Court, this bill had not heen considered necessary. It was not until Ave had firmly established and, con- solidated our own liberties that we became careless of those of others. He thought this was a power which ought not to exist in the hands of any indi- vidual ; that the House ought to put an end to it; aud therefore he would move that, instead of now, the bill be read a third time this day six months. Mr. LEYCESTER seconded the motion. Colonel PALMER also opposed the bill, and was left speaking. Letters from Italy assert, that the spjourn, of the Austrian troops in the Nfeapolita( ij,. territories, which, according to treaty, should terminate at the end of this year, is likely to be prolonged by three years mOre. I he anxious and agitated state of Sicily is said to have dictated to the Neapolitan Government the necessity of tbis arrangement. Letters from Constantinople, by the French Mail, state that ihe Sultan, although said to be disposed to treat with the. Greeks, makes great exertion in preparing an array of 00,000 men for the Morea, The enthusiasm of theTui; ks remains unabated; but the Treasury being nearly ex- hausted, the recruiting goes, on slowly,^ The equipment of the fleet is in more1" forwardness, but there is great difficulty in obtaining seamen suffi- ciently skilful to cope with the Greeks. The Contract for the New Colombian Loan was closed on Saturday. The Loan is for no less a sum than " four mil lionsy- seven hundred find sixty thousand po inds-. Mr. Gohlsmidty. ofSt. Helen's- place, is the Contractor. Such a sum, frugal y applied to prosecute a war in a country in which prices are low, must go a great way,; even were ihe contest upon a footing of equality, 4nd as matters stand, this Loan may probably put an end to the appearance of a struggle on the part of the Mother Country, as the substance of a war { las long since expired. ' Mrs. Wynn gave a grand bafl and supper on Friday evening, at her house, Whitehall- place, which was attended by upwards of 200 distin- guished fashionables. The three drawing rooms were elegantly fitted up. Dancing? commenced at eleven o'clock, and finished at five.

The French papers of Tuesday a » e entirely filled with the projects of law communicated by the Minister of Finance to the Chamber of De- puties in the sitting of Monday. Amongst them there is one containing the details of fhe budget for 1824 and 1R25, for it appears that the Cham- bers are to be called upon to vote supplies for the service of two years. The sum asked for 1824 is £ 895,656 francs, or £ 37,327,252 sterling, That for 1P25 is'. little more, 898,933,580 francs, or £ 37,455,585 sterling. No additional taxes are lo he imposed for the service of those years. The expenses incurred by trie campaign iu Spain are stated at £ 6,831,560, including twenty- two millions of francs paid for the support uf the Spanish troops, and upwards of eleven millions, supplied to the Spanish Government during; the campaign. Ferdinand has entered into a Conven- tion for the payment of these sums. Letters from Missolonghi state, that the advanced guard of the Greek army for the attack of Lcpanto had marched, and had been immediately followed by the division of Loid Byron, with that nobleman at their head. The plans of Mr. Parry, the en- gineer, for carrying I. epanto by storm, had been approved, and little doubt was entertained of their complete success. The artillery corps of Colonel Stanhope will take the lead in this enterprise. It was stated at Missolonfvh. i that Lord Strangfoi. d had nearly broken terms with the Sultan, on ac- count of the insolent reproaches of the Grand Vizier, for the loan raised in England for the Greeks. Letter's received this morring from Constantin- ople,- by an eminent Turkish . merchant,, confirm unequivocally the report of the declaration of inde- pendence issued by the Pacha of Egypt. The state of the Revenue keeps pace with the best ho pes of the Country. Although the payment by Austria swells the quarter's product, there has been a remission of taxes more than equal to it ; and wbiM the increase on the year, is £ 988,615, lincrease on the quarter ending on the 5th of the present month is £ 1,3* 28,403— There is a marked increase of revenue on tobacco and snuff, tea, paper, glass, caudles, bricks . and tiles, and auction duties,, the consumption of most of which arc connected with the greater or less prosperity of the commnni'y generally. In malt, spirits, printed goods.' and salt, there is a decrease, because tire re- duct ion of duties upon those articles'Ii fis been con- siderable. Parliament will be adjourned, for the Easter recess, oil Thursday » e'xt, which- is Maundy Thursday, The adjournment « ill be iilftflondav, May 3, which is a period of seventeen days, a much i. mger recess than has taken place for many Ses- sions past. Such is the forward state of the public business, that is, the measures which it depends , v more immediately on the Ministers to bring for- wardj4- th; » t , it is calculated the Prorogation of TUrlinrfaent W, ill take place as early as the 15th of Jane. Tjiis will make the Session almost unpeg, cedently s%> rt— mectuig. in February and pro- roguing in 4nne, there being in the mean time nearly three ' weeks holidays aud several days on which, there were 41 ' no Houses." Usaful business, rather thtt'. i spee^ lat'. ve debates, hue been the Order of\ the day, and they have saved much time; it is curious to observe how much long speeches are going out of fash km. \_ From. our Private Correspondent ] HOUSE OF LORDS- MONDAY. The Earl of THANET presented a Petition from the Clergy of the Deanery of Sutton, in Kent, against the Dissenters' Marriage Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a Petition | from the Ministers and Elders of the Church of Scotland, praying* Parliament to give them relief with respect to their religious scruples in the Mar- riage Forms now established by law. The Nob'e Marquis then fixed the Committee on the Unit- arians' Marriage Bill for the first day after the holidays. ROMAN CATHOLICS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE next brought in a bill to enable Roman Catholics to vote at Elections in England as in Ireland, and to put the English Catholics in other matters upon a footing with Catholics in Ireland. The Bill was read the first time, and ordered to be read a second time after the holidays. WELSH JUDICATURE. Lord CAWDOR gave notice that he should call the attention of the House to the state of Judicature in Wales after the holidays. Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY A Petition was presented from the Ship- owners engaged in the Greenland Fishery, in favour of the Oil Gas Bill. Sir I. COFFIN cpuld not agree in the prayer of this petition. What, he would ask, had the Green- land Fishers done for the country that the Coal Trade had not done ? though the Coal Trade bad accomplished a great deal which the Greenland- men had taken care not to do. He knew these Greenland Fishers— he had been in Greenland, and was up to all, their concerns. They did not furnish a man for the Navy during the war, whilst the Coal Trade furnished 60,000 hardy seamen. The ques- tion of Coal Gits and Oil Gas would presently come before the House, and he sincerely hoped Coal Gas would carry the day. ( A laugh..). Mr. LINDSEY defended the Greenlanders, who, he said, were a hardy and excellent class of sea- men..: Sir I. COFFIN said the . Greenlanders were cer- tainly very good sailors, but we never could catch them in time of war. They were always protected : we. never could get near enough to them to put a little salt on their tails. ( A laugh. J The petition was then received, as were similar ones from Lei th, Peterhead, & c. — A similar petition was presented from Berwick- upon- Tweed ; and one against the bill from the Ratclitf Gas and Coke Company, The bill was then read a second time. Ou the question that the bill be committed— Mr. P. MOORE objected to the measure, and moved as at) amendment that the bill be taken into consideration this day six months. Mr. GRENFELL knew nothing either of the parties who supported or opposed this bill. He was, how- ever, a consumer of gas, and desired to . get- it- as cheap as possible, and thinking that a competition might tend to lower the price of the commodity, he would support the bill in all its stages. After some observations from Coionel DAVIES, Alderman SMITH, and others, against the bill, and from MFV CALVERT, Alderman BRYDGES, and others, iu favour of it, the house divided— For the commitment, 74; for the amendment, 71; ma- jority, 3. The Bill was then referred to a Select Committee. Mr. HUSKISSON gave notice that he would to- morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill to enable the holders , of" foreign wheut; under bond in this country to grind it into flour preparatory to its being exported ; and he should also on Wednesday move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law between factor and principal . Mr. Secretary PEEL then moved the order of the day for the third reading of the Alien Bill. Mr. LGNNARD could not suffer this bill so pa> s its last stage without declaring'his hostility to it, ami the satisfaction he felt at hearing that this was the last time it was to be proposed to the House for its {£-* The Reverend aud Worshipful JAMF.

DENBIGHSHIRE ASSIZES.— The acquittals of IIugh Janes, charged with the murder of his father, and uf Anne Hughes, charged wilh poisoning her husband, were announced in our last. There was nothing brought forward tending in Ihe least to criminate Anne Hughes; hut we are sorry to say that Hugh Junes was discharged under peculiar circumstances: he hail confessed ihe horrid crime with which he stood charged, hot as this confession was obtained under a persuasion by the constable that it would be better for him to confess, aud as there was no other evidence to implicate him in the shocking affair, he was, ur. dc- r the direction of the Learned Judge, acquitted.— Ellinor Owenes, for robbing the dwelling- house of Jane Jones, of Pentre- voelas, was sentenced to be transported for life.— Hugh Hughes and Alice I. nut, for stealing 13 sovereigns and 4 half- sovereigns, the property of Edward Hughes, of Llysfaen, Carnarvonshire, to be transported for life; M.

The populous town of Macclesfield has, during the last week, been the scene of much disorder and outrage. In consequence of a determination on the part of the masters to assimilate the working hours of the men to thoseof. Congie'ion and Stock port, viz. twelve hours a day, a general tuim out took place on Monday, and large parties, together it is stated to the extent of 6,000, assembled" in the streets. An attack was made on Mr. Powell factory, in Sutton, but the assailants being beat off, and the local cavalry being called out, they retreated, and took shelter in the church yard, the gates of which they secured. From this position, until dislodged after an unsuccessful charge or two, they pelted the cavalry with stones, and severely hurt Lieut. Grimsditch, Cornet Daintrv, and several other members of the corps. An express was sent to Manchester, and a squadron of the 3d Dragoon Guards arriving on Tuesday, the rioters were dispersed.— The town, however; continued very noisy, and apprehensions were still entertained of other factories being attacked. . . _ to w co CC , ^ V QC - JD - r1 cw soy « S3 55 S m fee ift, ASH ENTERED ON IMMEDIATELY, NEAT COTTAGE, Stable, and Garden, with about two Acres of Grazing LAND, situated within one Mile of Shrewsbury.

West.— This was an action for breach of promise of marriage.—- Mr. Serjeant Pell, for t h, e plaintiff, amused the Court at the commencement of this case, by observing, that as this was a suit b,. v Rabbitts, his Learned Friend, Mr, Coney, should have supported him, and the Learned judge in the other Court ( Burrough) should have tried it. The facts were briefly thus :— Defendant was a farmer of considerable property, at Witham Friary, and plaintiff is the daughter of an humble farmer, living- in the same neighbourhood. The plaintiff is between thirty and forty, and defendant about seventy, who has been thrice married. On the death of his first wife, he married heir sister within one week after, and haying ( said the Learned Serjeant) bad the gopd fortune to bury her also, he became weary of living alone, and paid his addresses to plaintiff, who was residing with her mother. After promising her marriage, he thought fit to change his mind,; and sent her a message that he would not marry again, but soon after this ( iii, September last) he married a third time, his present wife, aged £ 2. . The mother ofthe plaintiff was called, who dis- tinctly proved the promise of marriage, which was also corroborated by the plaintiff's niece.— Mr. Adam, for defendant, argued that the plaintiff had sustained no injury by not marrying a man who was in his dotage, and who could act. with the indecent precipitancy he did in marrying his second wife. The plaintiff's motive for engaging- herself with him must have been entirely mercenary, and she ought not, therefore, to be encouraged by'the verdict of the Jury1 for having made a traffic of herself, by consenting to marry an old man for the mere sake of gain. Mr. Levi Whitpombe was examined as to his opinion of defendants property, which he thought might be about £' 3000. The Judge summed up, and the Jury gave £ 200 damages. WARWICK ASSIZES — Hex v John White and, Thomas IV el lings.— The*? prisoners were tried and convicted of a conspiracy to injure their master, and to subject him to penalties under the excise laws, and were sentenced to twelve months' impri- sonment.. The circumstances of the case, as they appeared in evidence, were as follows :-* The prisoners were servants to Mr. Humphrey Pouut- ney, a grocer and tallow- chandler, of Birmingham, and had lived with him, White for more than five years, and Wei lings for upwards of fourteen months. Mr.: Pountney has two retail shops, one at. the corner of Mo'or- street, where he resides, ^ nd. the other in Digbeth. White had the entire superin tendance and management of the shop in Digbeth, and Wettings of a chandlery at the back of that shop, grid both of them were servants in whom Mr. Pountnev placed the most unbounded confidence. On tbe 3d of October last Mr. Pouutney had seized bv the excise officers, in his chandlery- three weights, for being over- weight, which the prison ers had secretly loaded with lead, so as to make them heavier than they were parked and appeared to be, for the purpose of subjecting their master to a penalty of £ 100 for every weighing of candles with those weights. The seizure of the weights having made a considerable noise in Birmingham, the prisoners became suspicious of each other, and at length Weliings ( whom White had prevailed upon, by a promise of £ 30, to take the blame on himself) confessed to Mr. Pountney that he had charged the weights, and at. first he pretended that it was to cover a stage of candles which he had accidentally made heavier than his declaration specified ; but afterwards, on being taken into custody, he confessed of his accomplice, White, and both of them then pretended that it was to repay their master, by cheating the excise of the. duties on the excess, of weight iri the candles weighed by such weights, for coffee and other tilings which they had robbed him of. Such were the accounts which they gave, but there can be no doubt their design was to ruin their master bv subjecting him to penalties under the excuse la vs, in the hope of sharing in such penalties themselves.

MONMOUTH BURGESS CAUSK — This import ant question came ou for decision at Gloucester Assize, on Monday morning, before Mr. Justice Park and a special jury. The interest naturally involved in the cause, and the public curiosity excited to hear that celebrated advocate Mr. Deu- man ( who was specially retained for the burgesses) attracted an immense auditory, and tbe Court conti- nued excessively crowded throughout the day. The case was in the nature of a qtio warranto, granted hy the Court nboye, calling upon the nominal de- fendant, Benjamin Vales, mercer, of Monmouth ( with whom sixty others are involved, and whose fate will be determined by the present verdict), to shew by what authority he claimed to be a burgess of that borough, Mr. Denman addressed thejnry a speech of considerable length, replete with argument; ft'| d a vast body of evidence was ad- duced to prove that the election called in question was made anil completed it| a maimer strictly con formaMe lo the custom and form observed iu that borough fp|- time immemorial. The Common Coun- cil, on the eoutiary, complained that they had not heen previously called to nominate the defendant to the Court of Record, at which be was elected and sworn iu a hurgpss. It was also urged, that the election was carried into efl'ect bv surprise. The question at. issue, however, mainly turned upon the usual mode of summoning this Court, which, it was strictly proved in eyidenee, was always done by the ringing pf a bell placed 011 th, e outside of the roof of the Tovvnhall for lhat express purpose. Several ancient records were put in, and a great number of witnesses were minutely examined ou the part of the defendant. Mr. Taunton, for the relator, called 110 witnesses; contenting himself with addressing the jury, and commenting upon the evidence adduced. After which, the Learned Judge summed up, with an evident feeling that the riug- ino- 01" file bell, as a summons for tlic assembling of the Court of Record, was not sufficient notice. The jurv returned a verdict, after twenty minutes consultation, for the. relator. The trial occupied ten hours. The effect of the verdict will be to disfranchise the whole of the sixty burgesses, and leave the majority in favour of the Ex- Corporatiou CRIMINAL COT'tiT.— John Scully was indicted for manslaughter, in killing a man whose name was unknown, at the parish of St. George, in that county.— It appeared in evidence lhat Ihe prisoner was servant to Mr. Packer, a salt- merchant, resid iog in St. George's, aud who, with other neigh hours, having sustained great depredations on their properly, gave directions to the prisoner to watch it bv night. About fj in the morning of the - 2d of February, the prisoner gave an alarm, aud informed his neighbours in great agitation that lie bad killed a man— that it was ill luck for him"— lhat the 1111111 lay dead in the garden, and that lie would go any where to deliver himself up to justice. At the same time hi* s ated that before he fired, a man cried out to him, " lire, aud be d— r- d," and to a companion, " D it, Tom, why does thee not fire;" that he aimed at the legs of the man, whom alone he saw, and wbo was on elevated ground, and so mortally wounded his comrade below, Tbe body was found in the place described by the prisoner, ihe heart perforated, and the pericardium filled with blood. In the pockit of the deceased was found a steel and Hint, aiid by his side were three fowls newly killed, iu an apron. The prisoner's master described the situation of tbe ground, which sustained bis state- ment of Ihe manner in which ihe death occurred., and gave him a most, excellent character for good temper and general propriety of conduct,— Mr. Baron Garrow charged the Jury, and expressed his great anxiety that the doctrine he was about to lay down for their guidance might be distinctly under- stood. It was the duty of men set to watch tbe property of others, or engaged in protecting their own, to abstain fioin firing or mortally wounding those whom they suspected to be robbers ; to endea- vour to secure their persons without injury ; and not to attack them with dangerous weapons, until such a measure became necessary for the safety of lli. ejr own lives; but if such a measure became ne. cessary, then they were guilty of no offence, in. resisting till death, but their case would be one of justiijable homicide. In this instance, the question for consideration was this — did the prisoner rashly, and without due cause, tire, the gun, or did he fire with a well- grounded persuasion that such a mea sure was esseytial to his own personal safety? In the lirsi case be would lie guilty of manslaughter, in point of law, even though the precise effect which followed was not contemplated ; in the last, he would be wholly guiltless.— The Jury almost instantly returned « verdict of NOT G. UIJ. TY. — Mr. Baron Garrow, in directing the prisoner to be dis- charged, expressed his hearty concurrence in the verdict, and his opinion, that if any man should reproach him for the misfortune, he would disgrace himself, and do great injustice to his neighbour. IN THE MATTER OF LORD OIIARI. ES SPENCER CHURCHILL. Charles, Spencer Churchill, Esq. ( commonly e » Ued or known as Lord Charles Spencer Churchill') came, up for final hearing, his case having stood Over by adjournment, since November last. Tbe petitioner was opposed, by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of Messrs. Attwood and Co, the assignees of W. Simpson, late pf St. Aibau's,. iunholder, a bankrupt; and also for, several oilier creditois, resident in that borough : beyond which, three or four London creditors appeared in person; hiittlicyi with one exception, withdrew their opposition. Messrs. POLLOCK and. HEATII appeared for the petitioner, and to explain matters relating to tbe trustees ut the w'ili of the bjle Dii. se qf Mariiiorough, the noble petitioner's father. '• Mtv. COOKE examined the insolvent, w- hb stated that he was a Captain in the 85th regiment of foot, retired on half- pay, which cons. is ed of ? s. per f/ ieni: he had no other source of income, beyond an allow- ance of X' 400 a year from the trustees under the will of his noble father, deceas- ed. This allowance was discretionary, he imagined, as it had been withheld thrice from him on particular occasions, aud he had every reason to believe it was now suspended. He was the second son ofthe late Dlfke, next- to the present Duke of Marlborough ; and in the event of tiie demise of the Marquis of Blaudfoi'd, a middle mother, he was next in suc- cession to the Dukedom. - iu the year 181 » , he Stood two election contents for the borough of St. Alban's ; the first of whicli was fruitless, and the last successful. It was during this effort that he incurred debts which uotv formed the ground of opposition, notwithstanding he bad paid £ 3,000 i 11 part discharge of the first hills. In order to effect this, be borrowed the money of a gentleman, named Simpson, 10 whom lie gave, a bond. This was just before he made his second effort. Several of his debts were contracted iu London after l. e had obtained his seat in Parliament, and while in the pursuit of his legislative duties, there were items 111 his schedule for jewellery, fiic. but lie did not at present possess any such, articles, nor any . person in trust for hi ill. Mr. COOKE declined putting any more questions to the insolvent, hut would address, the Court. After hesitating some time-?- The CHIEF COMMISSIONER told Mr. Cooke they were v aitiug for the fi rst sentence of his address. The L#; tn: ed Gentleman then said, that he repre- sented a mass of creditors whose debts were in the aggregate of large amount; yet he must confess that he felt himsetf unable to offer any ten) arks which would arraign the Noble Lord, and bring him under the operation of the penal clauses ofthe Act of Parliament.. He would, howeve, r, submit to the Court, that the young nobleman had been extravagant, although* his conduct was not to be measured the. same rule as that of others in a different sphere of life, when the circumstances attending the contraction of the debts were taken into consideration. No) withstanding this conces- sion, he ( Mr. Cooke) should not feel justified were he not io remark, tuat the Noble Lord, whose income did not exceed £ 590 a year, ought not to have let his ambition aspire to* the extent, it ha-', at the expense of other persons; for in this Nobleman's attempt, to obtain a seat in the Legislative Assembly h « Khad speculated with the property of others'; • Tlie:, L. earned < 1 e. nVIenum went, on to observe, that I'ifvFus. avvare that the Court had no. cnntnn. il over tl) e £ 400 av year allowed . by the trustees,- but he trusted that a. rule would be. ordeied, which would convey the vyhole or a large portion of the peti- tioner's half- pay to assignees under tiie estate for the benefit of the creditors generally. lie doubted not but. the Noble Lord:, considering his hi., desee. n. 1, felt,-. great huniiliation by being placed in that . Court a* . a petitioner ; and thVt that^ fee lino was increased when ho reflected that he had flic ted an irreparable injury on others. The Learned Advocate concluded bv an earnest appeal to the Court, relative to the half- pay. Mr. POLLOCK, on behalf of the petitioner, e pressed that he felt as niiich distressed as his learned friend was at seeing the situation in which li s noble client was placed ; but he apprehended that the ideas, entertained bv his friend, relative to what was and what was not extravagances would not be entertained bv the Court. That the debts on his Lordship's, schedule were large, he could not deny ; yet. the Court would look at the circumstances connected with the contraction of a great part of them, if was quite clear that they were not per- sonally contracted by his noble, client, hot arose Vnit of a Contested election, when, as every one knew, houses were open to what are termed the candidate's friends, who eat and drink promiscu- ously, and " mine host" presuming that all would be paid. In this species of. friendship the worthy and independent burgesses, had not been behind hand, as was clear from the enormous bills, the subject of which was now a matter of complaint. The Court would also remember, that he carried down £ 3,000 to St. Alban's, at '. he second election, to keep the voters in good humour ; so that they had not suffered so much as they ucght have done bv giving a wanton lavish credit. He submitted to the Court that his noble client was entitled, to the benefit he sought. Mr. HEATH having been heard on the same side, and some amendments made to the sche . luie, and a transcript, from the voluminous will of the late Duke of Marlborough attached, The CHIEF COMMISSIONER pronounced the judg- ment of the Court. He felt bound to say, that no case had been made out. a « jain$ t, the petitioner which w oil Id warrant the Court, to detain him. The ' Court coincided in the opinion which had been urged in exculpation ; and, with the exception of . one tradesman, no creditor appeared tq oppose the discharge beyond those on whose claims the law would not detain him for a day. With respect to the half- pay. the Court would make no order at present, as his further allowance was only dis- cretionary. The judgment of the Court was, that he be dis- char - ed forthwith. Mr. HEATH, on behalf of the trustees under his father's will, said, that not a single bona fide creditor.- pf the Noble Lord would be damnified by the present application. arus, Seb. del.

When in this forinj and - under the pressure 6f " 20, 30, or 40 atmospheres, they have a continual tendency to resujne the aeriform statej'and a very small increase of temperature developes a ivedigious power. § i!| phur. etted hydroo- eu, for. iu| tauce, condenses into a. liquid at 3 deg. Faiirenhert^' and' ntKler a pressure ttf 14 atmospheres ; but if the temperature is raised 47- deg-. it exerts the pressure of 17 atmo- Spheres,. In oiher words, by al. terqately h. eating it up to 5- O degrees, antl co(> ling it dow?! to 3. degrees, a force is, generated equal to 3 atmospheres. It is found that the elasticity, thus developed, varies in different gases, and that it is greatest in those which are most dense. Carbonic acid, one of the heaviest gases, has in the liquid state an elastic force equal to 20 atmospheres, at S2 degrees of Fahrenheit; but. at 32 degrees, or the temperature of freezing . water, it has a force equal to 3/> atmo- spheres, so that the small addition of 20 degrees of heat generates a force equal to 16. atmospheres, or lotuses as great as that of steam in low pressure engines. Here, then, is the agent which, if means pan ' be fallen upon to govern it properly, may pro- bably supersede the use of steam, and change the face of mechanical science. It is true that the low temperature required in the cases alluded to is not eas ly obtained on the great, scale; butjt is to he obseryed, that by increasing the permanent pres- sure, the very same result can he obtained at a much higher temperature. Ammonia, for instance, has a force equal to 5 atmospheres at 32 degrees, and at 50 degrees. Now if6| is taken as the permanent pressure, and it is assumed that a, t 8<> or 90. degrees it exerts a force eqijal toatmospheres, the means are presented of generating a power equaj to g atmospheres, by alternately adding and subtracting 40 degrees of heat, and bv working with tempera- tures which can be easily commanded. ( Mn ap- plying the condensed gases as; mech uiieal agents," says Sir Humphry Davy, ^ the apparatus must b « ? at least as strong, aud as perfectly joined, ns that used by Mr. Perkins in his high pressure engine; but the small differences of temperature requiVed to produce an elastic force equal to the pressure of many atmospheres^ wil. l render the risk of explosion extremely small. And if future experiments should realize the views here, developed, the mere differ- ence of temperature between sunshine and shade, or air and water, or the effects of evaporation from a moist surface, will be sufficient to produce results which, have hitherto been obtained only by a great expenditure of fuel. v These facts open the pror spect of a rich harvest of discoveries, which may, perhaps, produce a great revolution in mechanics*.

The luiuing of Laz- Case of Nosfalyin — or Pining for Home. In the Military Hospital of Bourdeanx, when the British troops occupied that town, a young soldier of the 53d was admitted a patient.'" His age was about nineteen, he was a Welshman, aud the history of the case was this:- He enlisted, in a fit of drunkenness, but a few months before, and from the time he was embarked for Spain he was seized with the most profound melancholy. In landing at Passages, a port in the province of Biscay1, he was obliged to be carried on shore'; scarcely took any uourishment, and was incessantly talking of home, sighing, aiid lamenting his absence from his native mountains. The hills about San Sebastian so re- mrndec) him of Wales, that he almost wished he was dead before he left that country. His comrades observed that he grew vyorse on the march, and a little before the battle of Orthez he was taken into the Military Hospital, and fron) this was, for warded to Bourdeaux by carriage. When the. medical officer, to whose charge lie was consigned ( Assistant Surgeon Maginn), saw him, for the first time, at the Hospital, he sceuied per- fectly indifferent to what was goiijg forward ; would answer no question, not p; ven ( Tpen his mouth ; and his eyes were fixed in a vacant' stare ; nor could it be observed that the eyelids twinkled. At first the medical officer supposed that he was playing off a trick, not unusual amongst skulkers; and having ordered him a cathartic, directed the orderly of his ward to pay most particular attention to the patient's manner during the day and night, but not to appear to take any notice, in order that, if he really was pretending-, he might, thus be discover- ed. The orderly slept next bed to him, and, on the I following day, declared that he scarcely could hear him breathe, and that in whatever position he was placed, he still remained until again moved by the orderly. On the next visit, the surgeon tried by every means in his power to make him speak or opeij his mouth, pi- even to make any voluntary motion, without, effect. The pulse was slow, and scarcely perceptible, evidently pointing out the true nature of the disease ; and having learnt from the patient's comrades that he was in that lethargic state for eight days before, it was thought neces- sary to treat him as a case of real disease. Hot brandy was immediately ordered, and the surgeon himself, with difficulty, put some of it into his mouth, and he swallowed it, hut the pulse did not , rise. A little hot chocolate W^' S tlien procurecj, as his comrades said he always. seemed to like it, and the I cup was placed in the patient's hand. At this moment, which was about ten o'clock in the morn- ing, the surgeon was called to a different part of the Hospital to an accident, and was occupied in his duties until half- past two, when, on returning, he found the poor Welch man in the very same attitude, with the cup of chocolate in his hand, and the men in the ward declared he never moved a hair's breadth since the chocolate was placed iu his grasp — four hours and a half. Active treatment was now adopted, according to the surgeon's own idea of the case ; and that was, first, to administer a drastic purgative with some aromatics, and ordering a good portion of hot wine to be poured down his throat. On the next day he had the man stripped and brought down to the yard, where half a. dozen men, each holding a pail of . spring water, stood upon a height above wheie the patient was placed, and, oue after the other, show- ered a full stream upon the top of his he, ad. About the fourth pail he sunk off the. chair, 1111 ^ was slightly convulsed. He was then removed back to his ward, and rubbed vveii by two strong fellows with coarse towels for at least half an hour. He was then put Jo bed and wine given, when it was perceiyed , t!) ai his pulse was i^ ucb fuHer, and there was $ hotpdow ttpsnr the surface of the skin. . The orderly said he - sleptscored during that uight, seaming to brtiathe loud, which he did not before. The bath in a similar manner was repeated next day, with considerable advantage, for the man spoke several words,. and shed tears ; the third day the same, with still more advantage ; and so on till the sixth, when he conversed freely, looked florid in the face, and ate his provisions without assist- ance. Care w as taken during the whole of this tinje to Impress him with an idea that he was ordered to England, and that lie was to be discharged In three weeks the poor fellow recovered ; and, to 1 make his situation as comfortable as possible, he was. employed as a surgery man in the Hospital, Sportmg.

THE ARMY, ( CIRCULAR.) Whitehall^ 4pril5, 1824. SIR—- It has been determined by hjs Majesty's Government, that a General Inspection of the Yeo- manry of Great Britain shall take place during the ensuing Spring, by a Field Officer of his Majesty's regular forpes, for the purpose of ascertaining the actual state of the Yeomanry throughout fhe king- dom, with a view of putting them,' in such eases a.* may be necessary, into a more efficient condition. To effect this object with tbe least expense, an arrangement has been made to divide the country into districts, uniting, into one district the several counties lying most convenient for that purpose, and a: Field Officer will be appointed to examine the condition of ail the corps within each district. The district, in which the county over which yoq preside is situated,, will comprise and as one Officer will have to inspect all the corps within that compass, it will be necessary to arrange the days and places of meeting in such a manner as not to allow the day fixed for the meeting of one corps to interfere with the meeting of another in a different county. I therefore take the liberty of suggesting to you tbe convenience of arraugiti"- with as little delay as possible with the Lord Lieu- tenants ofthe Counties of the precise days upon which the Yeomanry Corps within those respective c unities will be ready for inspection, and having cou;- nlted the convenience as well of the Lord Lieutenants of those counties, as of the corps themselves, if you will have the goodness to signify to me the times and places agreed upon by all parties, I shall make the neces- sary communication to the Field Officer who will be selected to carry the duty of inspection into exe. ctitiou. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, ( Signed) R. PEEL. His Majesty's Lieutenant of the County of ANECDOTE.— Duke of York.—{ t has been, with great truth, observed that, a man's fortune is often carved out by that inherent property of good- breeding, comnionly called an easy address. The following well authenticated fact fuliy sustains the assertion :— Some few days back, as his Royal Highness the Duke of York, attended bv some military officers, Was enjoying a ride through Hyde Park, his attention was suddenly arrested by the skill with which a one- armed, gentleman vvas reining- jn a young and mettlesome, horse, As the rider approached the grpupe, he suddenly re- cognised ( he Cornmander- in Chief, and, apparently regardless of the animal's curvetting, he dexterously threw the reins over his own head, and taking off his hat, bowed repeatedly and with infinite grace, to the no small admiration of the Duke, who returned the salute with even rparked respect. The stranger, however, had not i o. de many yards, when be vvas overtaken by one of the officers attendant on tbe Duke, who signified to him his Royal HighuessY wish to know if he were in the service ?— the address of ^ Captain D , half I pay, regiment," was immediately produced, and gave answer in the affirmative. The card was shewn to His Jioyy! Highness, and an intimation was given to the Captain to attend the Horse Guards on the following ( lay, which was a Levee- day. Not at all aware of Jhe real object of hit illustrious commander, the young soldier felt too highly honoured by the command, not lo be found at his post, and amongst a throng of Veterans who " bore their blushing honours thick upon them," the one- armed officer was quickly recognised, and saluted with that urbanity and condescension of manner which has endeared His Royal Highness to the army of Britain. After the routine business of the Le. vee was transacted, His Royal Highness entered into a close aud familiar conversation with Captain I) both as to the length and uatuie of service iu which he had been engaged. The replies were such excited the Duke's warmest approbation • and when, in . conclusion, he com- plimented the young soldier on his well won iaurejs. tie trusted thai bis present situation agreeable. Encouraged by this kind intefrogato/ y, the Captain joule permission to say, tHaf tMu^ h his allpwauee ,\ yas libera,! h) the extreme ( cojrt'^ der- ing his" deserts), yet he panted fur,- a. . life of activity; one arm .( the left) was ceftajifijy buried ^ epeath the walls of JBadajos, but */< w nth i- re- niained to Wield a sword in the service of his Sovereign. His " Royal Highness smiled, and after a few miouteS' consultation with'one ' of \ he ioihtary secretaries informed Captain •• — that his'request shotthl, if possible, be speedily complied with, where lie grew very healthy, and declared that he 1 The delighted Captain bowed his thanks; and a | did uotremember any thing since a short time after i subsequent Gazelle proved stbc promise was noi I he landed in. Spain, until his disease was removed, I forgotten. ' — MedieAdviser. ' J whole subject to the Committee, satisfied that this grant would be most useful in its application, and trusting that the Commission, if it did not fully and cordially co- operate with . the Association, would substitute some plan which might be equally beue- ficial, or which mightconfer more extensive, benefit on the population of Ireland. THE M ATI ON AIi DEBT, <& mt Stafford ( Sause, EDUCATION IN IRELAND. An opposition made by Mr. Hume to the an- nual grant hlPsu- pjjort of ihe Education Society of trdaud, hi the House <; f Commons On Monday se'iinight; as noticed in our last . Joiuual* drew from Mr. ' Leslie Foster, aud from , Mr. North, a new member,' toe following interesting c. xpianation of the |.) i ii!.' t|/ U- s . aud - operation of . tbe Kild. aie- strect Suc- itU, Dublin, one of the most active and MncccssfM! institutions in aid of the cause of, public edutta- vion,; that perhaps ever took root iu the i> nt,* h dominions. Mr. LI SMK I OSTKR commenced by referring to the Font ! centh Report Of the Kildare- street Society, which, hv sai de xh i hi ted a ri in le resting com parison between the slate of education'be/ tWe tbe'- esta'blish- invut of this society and since it had been in opera- tion. .' Notwithstanding the number of schools which existed previously, such was their nature, and: Such the method in which they were carried on, that so far from education being a t Messing, it was one of the main springs of all the evil that prevailed! The Irish peasant was uot tlie victim of ignorance, but of mibdiiected education. One of the most.. perni- cious practices was the introduction of books of a dangerous tendency into the schools. Many peri sons' employed their capitals and iheV indite try in disseminating books purporting'to be* the histories and ad ventures of rebels, traitors, and enterprising malefactors. The object of the Ki Id are- Street Society had been to cheek this evil practice, and they had so far ' Succeeded, with the munificent assistance of Parliament, that the same persons who had formerly heen employed in this trade, were now engaged in furnishing the same schools Willi books of a more' useful tendency. The Society, feeling that to provide proper masters for the various schools connected with1' them, was another most important point, had established a model school iu Dublin, which, besides the local ' good that it did in educating 300. of the children of the artisans of Dublin, presented an opportunity for qualifying, persons intending to become masters, and for making them acquainted with the principles of the Society. He met the statement Which had been, made, that.. the Catholics did not benefit, bv these schools, by merely laying, that of the num- ber ot' masters in the schools belonging lo the Society j oiie half* were Catholics," and ' of'tire child- ren, three- fourtbs were of the same, persuasion. It was true, that the dignitaries of that church Objected j to the Society, but he ( Mr. Foster) did not ' know j on what grounds ; aud he wished that the Commit- ! tee which had been . appointed, might be informed of the reasons oh which t. Jieir objections were founded.-- It, had been said that the subscriptions raiseci in Ireland for ihe support of the Society, were only . t' 2'./ i>,' bat in fact they amounted to £ 10,000. " In the year 1812 the nnmber of . scriptural Schools in Ireland amounted to' 239 (' at presenf they were 4150. In the course of the last year 800 had been added to their number; and he was happyto state there was every prospect, if the present grant, should be agreed to, of adding 10'.: 0 more ju the course of the present year. He would only add, that in supporting the' Kildare-' street Society, the House would most effectually aid the general edu- cation of the poor in - Ireland. Any other Society might send their masters to the Kildare- street School, where they would participate in all its advantages, and the books of that Society were freely furnished to all the other Societies, however their principles might differ. Tji& education of the female peasantry, which was known by all persons acquainted with the state of Ireland to be. of the utmost importance, had lately occupied the earnest attention of the Society, and the co- operation of some benevolent ladies led them to form the Warmest hope of success. He trusted the facts he had men- tioned,. arid which before were not sufficiently Jvhown to the House and tbe public, would at loas't prove that the Kildare- street Society was entitled on the. present occasion to that confidence it had hitherto enjoyed ; and he dj^- ai^ d. pubt- that, thj? inquiry about to be made 5y^' tfie ^ ouiinittee would prove the utility of their . * Mr. NORTH ( the Irisl^ barrister), in a maiden speech, said lie was one of the original members of the Kildare- street Society; one of the first few gentlemen who had formed themselves info a so- ciety for the education of the poor, when they had nothing to rely on but the excellency of the objects they had in view, and no other s - pport but the intellectual ardour which they brought to the pursuit. He wished, from his heart, that any gen- tleman who was disposed to criticise their conduct with severity, would place himself in the situation in which they stood, and survey the prospect as it lay before them. The whole country, with the excep- tion of the single province of Ulster ( lie thought he spoke advisedly) was immerse^; iu thick and palp- able darkness. The Protesta. nt • Clergy, as was naturally to be expected - in. ^ A^ bolie'community, had failed in coniuiunic. ating'ihsnurctiijn to the poor. The Catholic Clergy had rievlk— undertaken the office. The gentry were ' not. : s^ vkakened to a full sense of its importance ( general, cries of hear, hear). The education of tiie poor was, iu fact, left to them- selves, and no good educatiou could possibly take place from their educating each other. The schools were at the sides of hedges, aud were such as his Hon, Friend had described ; iu them licentiousness and robbery were openly taught, and the horn- book of instruction was the manual of vice. The History of Freuy the Robber, and the Life of Moll Flanders, were ordinary school books. So lament, able, indeed, was the system of education which was there introduced, that it were difficult, to pro- nounce which was the most dreadful, the thick darkness, or the lucid gleams by which it was occasionally pierced— the torpid ignorance that stagnated in one quarter, or ihe mischievous acti- vity that fretted and raged iu another. Dreadful were the effects produced hy their combination. The ranks of our crowded population thickening and gathering into lawless, fearless, tumultuous, n ii disci pi i n ed a r ray— th rea ten i ng pea ee— th reaten - ing property— threatening life— and, from the abysses of their misery, sending up a voioe of defiance to a dismayed gentry, and an almost ap- palled government. He could not agree with the Hon. Gentleman opposite, that the basis of a na- tional system of education should he founded on the exclusion of every particular system of religion. He believed that a system of education for the people, if of any value at all, must be a system of moral and religious education. As religion,' with, out knowledge, was apt to degenerate into super slition, so knowledge, without religion, was- sure, to terminate in licentiousness. The first principle which they had laid down, and by which they had determined to regulate all their movements, was, that religion should be made , the basis of the system The Society found in the land two great families of the Christian name, between whom the laws most unhappily, the history of their country most unfortunately, had drawn a line of demarcation. They believed it to be their dirty- to seek rather to obliterate that line than to deepen or extend it. They thought it could not*. but produce effects the most beneficial to bring together into the same school the children af Protestant and Catholic parents, to submit them there to the same course of instruction, and, by referring them to the great original of their faith, teach them to observe in after- life in how many great essentials they were both agreed, and in how many mere fohnal and unimportant, particulars, for the most part, they had the misfortune to differ. Such a system would endear them and bind them to each other by an early, snored', and, perhaps, indissoluble associa- tion': they would remember that ihey had once been collected ( and if the figure were. not too bold), that they had once knelt together round the common fountain of their faith before they followed the diverging streams, which were afterwards fatally to divide . them. They had not acted on 1 theory , but on views of practical experience. They i had seen a similar experiment tried in the Univer- sity of Dublin, and'they had witnessed its beneficial ' effects. In that university, young- men, both Catholics and Protestants, wore seen growing' up together, forgetting unhappy differences, while pursuing academic honours with equal ardour, and applying themselves- with equal enthusiasm to the same enlightened philosophy. The system which thev had adopted was founded not merely on sound principj. es, but upon an experience of its utility. There was another essential point which they had not neglected. It. would have been vain to expect success. without the cordial- co- operation of the Protestant gentry. Tli'fejbhad endeavoured-, there- fore, to procure that cordial co- operation, and they had succeeded in obtaining it. They had another motive arid^ another, object, which was,, that of j hriuging^ ti. ie^ ljyoH'Staai: gentry and the Catholic These advantages con- Id never have been obtained ] by the plan suggested by the Hon. Member for Aberdeen ( Mr. Hume), who proposed that one set of schools sJiould be allotted to Protestants, and another to Catholics; the Protestant gentry pre- siding over the first, and the Catholic priesthood over the other. Such a plan might be plausible enough iu theory, but iu practice it would be ' wholly inefficient; or, what was worse, it would ;(> e efficient in evil. Nothing was more gratifying than to observe the uumber of benevolent insti- tutions which had sprung up in the neighbourhood of these schools. Wherever they had been estab- lished were seen dispensaries for giving medicine to the poor, friendly societies, and other benevolent institutions,; both the people and the gentry seemed to acquire a taste for moral cultivation, and the vicinity of these schools seemed a spot separated from the other parts of the country— an Oasis amidst a surrounding desert. It had been said that this system could never become genera! since the Catholic Clergy opposed it, because it involved conditions with which they Could not comply. He had heard some years ago a similar argument urged, which, if if had been founded in fact, he should have considered un- answerable. It had been said that the putting of the bible without note or comment into the hands of the people might or might not be useful, but that the experiment could never be tried, because it was against the tenets of the Catholic religion, and Catholic parents Would; not allow it to be put into the hands of their children, or suffer their children to go to schools where such a system of education was adopted. The argument would be unanswerable if it were founded in fact; but the fact was that Catholic children did come to these schools, and that their parents were anxious to procure for them the benefits of education. The bible without note or comment was used, nor was any particular doctrine, derived from a particular interpretation of a text, of scripture, attempted to le inculcated. That this institution should have met with the opposition of the Catholic Clergy was a circumstance which he greatly deplored ; it was a• circumstance almost as surprising as it was a r. en tv ble. lie regretted that the Roman. Cat hoi ic ( lergy were not sensible of the advantage which they themselves would derive from being' placed at ilie head of a well- educated, moral, and enlightened Catholic population. The Catholic laity had seen the subject in the Same light in which he viewed it., and however much he might regret the feeling - which subsisted among the Catholic Clergy, he trusted, that . with the zealous co- operation of the laity, their objects would be completely Carried in to- effect. He bad now stated the principles on which they had acted; the views which they entertained, and the system which, had arisen out of those principles and views., His Hon. Friend below him had gone into some of the details of the system, on which therefore he felt it unnecessary ' to enlarge.— With respect to t< he Commission which was now going into Ireland, no one could wish for its success; more: cordially than himself, but lie should, lament if it interfered for the present with the progress of the Association. To divert the. Irish people from any useful object in the • pursuit o; which t. hey were ardently engaged, was generally, a most unfortunate experiment. The character of the people of Ireland- rendered such interposition peculiarly inexpedient. He trusted that no measures would he- taken to destroy the existing system before another was substituted* in • its' place. He could, not help, thinking that- the Right Hon. Baronet opposite ( Sir John Newport), anxious as he was for the, prosperity and tbe fioiJour of his country, ought to feel something like content and satisfaction at what had already taken place. A system under which had arisen 600 masters and 7<\ 00Q scholars in different parts of - Ireland, an< J that not after a long lapse of yearsj not in the course of a century or half a century, but, to use an expression of Lord Bacon's, " in an houri. glass of one man's life, in a few* yesterdays, 1' was a subject, of no: ordinary congratulation. . If the Commission which was about to proceed to Ireland did more, he should be mbst happy. ; if it did - as much he. should be content. In making these observations he trusted he should not be considered as . having trespassed too much on the time of the Committee ( hear). He should now leave the though poor, he is free, the other leaves him in debt and a prisoner. But even a rich man may lighten evade his burdens, by carrying his income abroad, or refraining from articles of taxation. This view ofthe matter shows the error of proposing, as some have lately done, to Commute a public burden into a private debt. Besides, the means of a nation may increase, wbile the. incomes of individuals remain stationary ; or the public wealth may advance in a geometrical, the incomes of individuals in an arith- metical proportion. An increase of population, possessing by their services an effectual demand for produce, stimulates trade, manufactures, aud com- merce, increasing the national funds, out adding perhaps little 1 ft the wealth of any individuals. Some suppose, and the great authority of BiaekstbriV is among tbe. number, that the capital is absolutely annihilated, and exists only in name. If so, we may suppose it shipwrecked, or assume that Government entered into these engagements without value re- either case that the ceived. Can we suppose country Could now have sustained iis burden? No: these burdens are sustained by a natural linking fund, the profit of absorbed capital, realising' 1 from 10 to 50 per cent.. wbile the debt is discharged at 5 per cent, or less. Tbe greatest part of every loan has been added to this vitally active capital, more energetic'as it has been more divided. There it has no visionary being, but an actual" existence iYj the increased national means, actually paying a great part of tbe annuities, and thuscontributing to our surplus income. No one who compares the income of the State with the corresponding national debt, can presume * to think that the country would have been equally rich without the giadua'l absorption of this immense capital. This, capital, far from being annihilated, is only transferred. In the hands of individuals it is incessantly employed in the work Of reproduction. Let us suppose a loan of one - million of sovereigns actually paid in gold, - Government never borrows for the sake of hoarding, bat for immediate expenditure, The loan is thus hioken down into innumerable small poitious, where each individual sovereign, w ith all tlie freshness of exist- ence as it came from ihe mint, is ten times more usefully employed than in tlie bauds of tjhe, great capitalist. The precious metals when they disap- pear from the eye, soon revive in a variety ot's. hapes. No actual loss lias taken place bilt in perishable Htieles, partially called into existence by this very capital. Bul the adversary says, that UP owe our prosperity to Watt, Arkwrfght, Wedgwood. With the deepest sense of their important services toipah- kind, [ must here remark that the effect Is'talf en iu these instances for the cause. Steam engine's and other'inventions supply the demand, but cannot create' it. , The demand has been- occasioned by increased individual wealth, and much of this wealth has heeii derived from loans. Ii is q uite evident that a stationary demand' would be ra'hyr limited by the intervention of steam- engines^ and other expensive • machinery.. We must assume' the existence of a suddenly increased demand, for their introduction, if nut lor their invention. I menu - that operative principle which called the abstract theory into being We all know the genealogy of invention at least for one degree. Now a stkldeii demand can only arise from a sudden influx of wealth;, the precise effect of loans. A gradual, demand would have been gradually supplied by- fresh accession of manual labour. Steam- engines are powerful instill then ts, but I have yet to learn that they actually fought. our battles, and maintained our armies and fleets. '[' here is one concession made by the" enetiriesrdf Ihe funding system, which is entiudy favourable lo it 44 We concede," say they, 44 that the interest of the Public Debt is a debt from the right hand to the left, or so much transferred from one class of society to ' another." But the principal is quiescent, doiriiarir non- existent as to iii effects, incapable of harm, tho' mighty in doing good, like that great and amiable consolidating power, the key- stone of the arch which nppbrts the British Constitution. The effects of the interest- being neutralized^ and ihe capital, to say the worst of- it, doing no harm, these can have no injurious effect on either therefore to be received with caution), lias been I published in a London Paper; and we merely copy it as. an ex parte statement of a litigated matter of great importance* " THE STAFFORD PEERAGE. " This important and interesting case', after years of sufferings, expense, and disappointment, is iH>\ v rapidly approaching to:; a final settlement. When tlie present claimant first asserted his right to the princely possessions, annexed to this Barony, his prospects of success were far from promising ; he had to trace his descent for a period of one hundred and sixty years; and, without money or friends to facilitate his researches, lie had to contend against the power and wealth of more than forty thousand families, all of whom were deeply inter- ested in the result of the investigation. The writer of this statement- is confident that the public at large are totally unacquainted with the real merits of the question ; so many conjectures have been hazarded, so many positive falsehoods circulated, that the solid, substantial, and incontrovertible claim of Mr. Cooke to the Barony of Stafford is, by many persons, regarded as au unfounded pretension and a visionary chimera. I am anxious to place this subject in its true light., and, as I have had access to authentic documents, I can pledge myself for the accuracy of the following statement: — 44 The Barony of Stafford' is one of the most ancient in England. The Lords Stafford were Barons in their own right, by the tenure and pos- session of the manor and castle of Stafford, aud, as a mark of their superior dignity, were denominated 4 Barons de Stafford,' when others of their own rank were designated bv their christian and sur- name only. The Barony was veiy . soon merged in the higher titles of Earl of Stafford, and Duke of • Buckingham ; but at lasts, after many descents, all these pror. d honours jvere, in the reign of Henry VTII. forfeited to the Crown by the attainder of Edward, the last Stafford, Baron and Earl of Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, and hereditary Lord High Constable of England. Henry, only son and heir of the attainted Duke, had, however, a re, graut in the 14th and 23d of Henry VIII. of divers honours, manors, lands,- , ad vowsoms, heredi- taments,- including' the manor and castle of Stafford, the caput Baronice of tbe ancient Barony. He was also restored in blood by an Act of Parlia ment passed in the . first year of the reign of Edward the Sixth,; an< j took his. seat in the House. of Lords the next Session ; and moreover, in the second of Queen Mary, he had a further grant of certain manors, lordshids, hereditaments,. & c. to hold to him and the heirs of his body. From this Henry descended another Henry, the sixth Bavon of the restored line, who having died without issue-, his only sister, Mary, became his heir. This Mary married Sir William Howard ( a. younger son of the Earl of Arundel),, who with bis Lady were, by patent of King Charles the First,. created Baron and Baroness Stafford. He was afterwards ad- vanced to the dignity of Viscount Stafford ; and, finally, attainted and executed for high treason iu 1680. It is from this event that the present case originates. ,. i( By the attainder of the Viscount, be became incapable of transmitting the title or property by heirship derived through him ; and, consequently, Sir George Jerningham, who now holds the estates as the descendant of the attainted Viscount, has no legal right whatever, by reason of the corruption of blood. This legal principle is fully confirmed by the opinion of Mr. Harrison, the King's Counsel. __ MR. HARRISON'S OPINION. ( t ( The first question would be, whether the ( Barony of Stafford is a Barony in fee. I have ' not seen the different opinions which have been ( given, nor heard very distinctly those which are i said to have been intimated by high authorities * upon this point, but understand that they concur * in considering' the subsequent limitations relating i to the honours and estates in the act of restoration as controulling tbe first limitation to heirs Males and upon the. fullest consideration I have been able to give the case upon the facts ( and materials) ' laid before use, I think it clear that the true con- * struction necessary to give effect to the whole is e decidedly in favour of the Barony being in fee. ' It also appears that Mary, the wife of the attainted 4 Viscount, was Baroness in her own right, and { held the Barony ! and estates annexed to it for ' many year's after the attainder of her husband, ' which affected only her children as his issue., and ( not herself, or ariy of her personal rights ( asSu'm- c ing this to be a correct state of the fact, aud also ( that the pedigree submitted to me is accurate) ; it c follows, that upon the death of Mary, without c any issue capable of inheriting, the heirs of Marv ' must be sought for in the heirs of the body of the c restored Lord. Upon these premises, " it most ' clearly follows, that the Barony, and all those 4 honours and estates which can be shown to be * inalienably annexed, are now in Mr. Cooke, as 4 the heir of the body ofthe restored Lord. * W. HARRISON.' c Lincoln V'i'nn Fields'.' documents and proofs of pedigree, and other papers relating to this ancient Barony." Such is a detail of the claim set forth on tbe part of Mr. Cooke; and it is a curious fact, that at the King's Levee, on Wednesday last, Mr. Richard Stafford Cooke attendee!, and, according to the Court Circular, was presented to His Ma- jesty, by Lord Glenlyon, the Lord in Waiting, as " Richard Stafford Cooke, the Ris> ht Hon. Lord " Stafford, heir of Edward Stafford, Duke of " Buckingham, and, as that DukC^ s heir, is " authorised, by Act of Parliament of the First of " Edward the Sixth, to be a Peer of the Realm, by 11 the title of Lord Stafford in blood."— The " Hon J. S. S. Cooke" is also stated in the Court Circular to have been present at the Levee. WESTERN CIRCUIT. Launceston, April 1. EMMA GEORGE,. a young woman nineteen years of age, was indicted for the murder of her brother, Benjamin George, a child under seveu years of age, by strangling him with a silk handkerchief. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, appeared in the deepest affliction, which operated, so power- folly on her feelings, that a long time elapsed before her senses reminded her of the awful investigation that was about to take place. On being called ou to plead to the indictment, The prisoner, in a weak and faulteriug voice, said " Not Guilty." Mr. TanCred, jn feeling and impressive language, detailed the circumstances of the unfortunate case, as proved by the following evidence. Francis Hodge sworn.— I live at the western part of Redrutlv", near the poor- house, in the same house that the prisoner lived in, Which is divided into four tenements. On the 4th of March, a little after seven o'clock in the evening, the prisoner came into my apartment of the premises from her own dwelling. There was with me at tbe time my wife ami two children. She spoke to my wife first. She said, 41 how do you do ? how do you do?" My wife said " not so well as I Could wish." In the course? of a minute or two the prisoner Amy said " I wish I could go to Heaven." Then LsSpoke. 1 said 44 Amy, you must make a good preparation to trv to get there, bet- ter than you have lately." Amy then sat down, aud I seeing h^ r face look so comical— 1 mean cast, down, in a kind of trouble— said 44 what's the matter, Amy ?" She replied, oh, what shall 1 do, what shall I do?" While she was pronouncing these words she wrung, her hands as if her mind was in agony. Her feelings becoming more strongly affect- ed, she said, " oh, what have 1 done?" 1 said, 44 what have you done then r" and asked her if she had fallen out with any one. She said 4i No." She then clasped her hands firmly autl said, 44 Oh, my dear Frank Hodge, I have hanged my little brother Benny."" I said 14 You have hanged your brother?" and she replied 44 Oh, yes." I asked her where she bad put him., and she said 44 he's put behind the door bang'ing on a crook." I went up to her bouse actoss the passage, and there saw a young man named Gribble, who said to me 44 Frank, look in, he's hang- ing to the crook." ! ran in immediately, and took bold of his feet. I called to Cribble's father, who lived in the same house, and when he came I took the boy round the body and cut the biack silk handkerchief by which lie, was suspended, and he fell down. The child was quite dead. He was about seven years old. J returned to the room, and said to Amy 44 What have yon done?" She answer- ed 41 I have hanged my little brother, and I am willing to die for it." I did not ask her why she hit - ' lone it, nor did she give a reiison, I have seen tbe prisoner and the little boy together hundreds of times, and she always appeared to be very fond of him. Samuel Gribble.— T went to see my father, who lived in Mrs. George's house, on the evening of the 4th of March. I might have been with my father about a quarter of an hour, when I came down stairs in the passage, and as I was leaving the bouse I heard Frank Hodge's wife scream out that Amy George had hanged her brother 1 took the candle from her hand and went into Amy's room, aud there saw the child hanging to a crook iu a beam. Frank Hodge followed me into the room, and my father soon came alter him. Those two cut the child down. I went into the room where the pri- son or was, and asked her what she had done? she said 44 she had hanged her brother for to send him to Heaven, and that she would cut her own throat for to go to Heaven along with him." , These were the very words she used ; she appeared to he in a deranged state, I judge so both from her words aud appearance ; upon using ( hat expression she eudea. voured. to rvse from her chair to get a knife, as she was determined, she said, to cut ber throat. I with great difficulty kept her hack. She repeated that she would cut her throat to go to Heaven with ber brother. Some women came into the room, and then I left her to their care. I returned to the room here the cbiirl was, and found him laying on tbe bed. Cross- examined by Mr. HoVcomb.— I have two sisters ; one of them, Mary, was a companion of Amy's, and they attended the ' Meeting- house toge- ther. I attend a Methodist Meeting; 1 £ o preach- ing sometimes. There is a meeting called the Revivals. There was one of that description at Redruth six or seven weeks before the boy was hanged. I attended it once, and then I saw several people on their knees, crying lo the Lord for mercy, as loud as their voices would let them. He did not know that those meetings were held once in every ten years ; nor that they continued open day and night so long as they lasted. John Cocking, a constable of Redruth, examined. I sat up with the prisoner at the bar on the night of the 4th of March. About two o'clock in the morning she arose from her bed, and sat down by the fire- side, and we then entered into a conversation, which 1 began, by saying, Amy, you appear to be a little more composed than you were just now," 1 asked her if she recollected what she had done. She said she could, and would tell me the whole circumstance, from the beginning to the end. She then told me her mind had been impressed for some time that she ought to commit a murder; and that on the Monday and Tuesday before she committed the act, Iw in- tention was to have murdeied her mother, hut she endeavoured to banish that idea from her mind, and prayed to the Lord to take the tempiation from her. Her mind, she continued, was then a little easier, till the Thursday morning, and then, while she w as at work at the mine, the idea came upon her again with greater force than before. In the middle of the day, she went to get her dinner at tbe boiling- house, where the girls generally dine. After she got to the bo ' ling- house, she recollected that she had seen a little hoy, a stranger, standing by the engine- house, near the shaft, or month of a pit, and she then re- gretted that she had not sunk that little boy into tbe shaft; for then she should have done that, which ha<* long been on her mind to do. Returning home in the evening, a little before she came to a Meibodisf meet ing, which stood in a back lane, she saw two children before her, at play near another shaft alongside the road, and she then said to herself, k4 I'll throw one of the little children into the shaft." That the children, in running after each other, came towards her, but she could not get an opportunity of throwing one of them into the mine, as she had designed. Coming nearer to her home, she saw some more children, on which, she said to herself, 44 I'll seize one of these little children, and carry it out, and throw it into a shaft at the hack of the houses." She waited some time for an opportunity to take one of them up unper- ceived ; hut there were so many persons passing and repassing that she could not get one of them away. After wailing for some time about the place, she went to her own house, and found her mother was going to meeting. On going in her mother said, " Your sup- per is ready for you, Amy ; yon can take it, fori am going to meeting, and little Benny will remain at home with yon." The prisoner then expressed her- self in this way— 44 I felt glad I had the opportunity of doing the thing 1 long wished for— that I was going to be left alone with my little brother, and that my mother was going to he out ofthe way, so that I should be able to do the deed." She took her supper at the end of the table, and her little brother was sitting at this time before the fire. She gave the child part of her supper, and said to him, 4k Should you like to goto Heaven, dear?" Tbe hoy made answer and said 44 Yc, when I die." She then rose from the place where she was sitting, and went to a line that was hanging across the room, and took from it a black silk handkerchief, and coining towards the child put it round his neck, tying it, as she thought, in a running knot. She said to her brother, 44 Is it too tight, dear?" The child looked up in her face and smiled, and said, < 4No," She left the handker- chief round his neck, and said, 44 Go for a drop of water for me, dear," intending, while the child was gone to a pail in the room, arid while his back was towards her, to take him up and hang him to a crook behind the door. Tbe boy was rather quicker than she expected, and she meeting him took the water from him, drank a little of if, and put the cup on the table. She then took her brother up with one arm, and with the other hand put the handkerchief over the crook, looked him full in the face and left the room. At this period the prisoner was overpowered^ by her feelings and could say no more. About an* hour after there, was a second conversation, which £ also commenced by putting a question to this effect- — 44 If you could undo what you have done, do yotv think you should do it again ?" Sh « replied, wring- ing her hands, 44 Oh no, no— the, dear, little fellow!" I know there are the several shafts which the prisoner spoke of. I am not a member of the Methodist Society, but I have attended a Revival Meeting at Redruth, which commenced about three monthssiuce. A Revival is termed an 44outpouring of the spirit," and causes the congregation to cry aloud to the Lord for mercy. The Revival continued at Redruth for a month or six weeks. The Revivals are held in the stated places of worship, of particular congregations, • and sometimes continue open for three nights and days in succession. I have been at a Revival; those who are 44 convinced of sin," as it is called, fall on. their knees, arid with uplifted bands, and their bodies working to and fro, call as loud as they are able to the Lord for help. Their ejaculations are such as, 44 Oh ! Christ ! pardon me my sins,— oh. Lord, give me grace!" and a variety of other similar expressions, adopted as the zeal of the moment may suggest. Their conduct was wild and extravagant, and alto- gether ontof the mild and decent course of address- ing the Almighty, usually observed in places of worship. By the Court.— It Was precisely that kind of strong excitation that was likely to operate on weak minds. Examination continued— It is generally called screeching for mercy. There was usually a preacher at the meetings, but not always. Tbe Revival is open by night as well as by day. There is lib ap- pointment when the Revival is to be held ; a con- gregation may be met, and at prayers, when pel haps some member will fall on his knees and call aloud to Heaven for mercy; when this happens the other members are generally moved by the same spirit, and the Revival commences. This is called the out- pouring of the spirit, and continues till the preacher pronounces a benediction, and tells his flock, 44 the moment of conversion" is come, and they may expect 44 a ray of hope, of comfort, and joy." The moment of ihe coming of the 44 ray of hope" is uncertain, arid the congregation continue their extravagant devo-, lions till they are 4.4 convinced" or * 4 converted." It is about ten years since there was a Revival at Redruth, before the late one. The prisoner, in speak- ing of the child, generally called him the dfca'r little Benny. Mr. Mitchell, a surgeon,, of Redruth, described'the state iii which he found the child, and gave it as his decided judgment thai its death was occasioned by strangulation. This was tbe case on the part of the prosecution. The prisoner did not wish to say any thing in her defence. Mrs. George, the mother of the girl, said, 44 My daughter attended. a Methodist Meeting at Redruth for about seven weeks before, the death of my hoy ; she also attended the Revival; I have fetched hfr home from tbe Revival. I went for her one night, about half past ten o'clock, she: having been there from two o'clock in the, day. On going lo the cha- pel, I found it extremely, crowded. My daughter caught a sight of me, and immediately lifted up both her arms, as if. she was going to fly to the top of the room, and called on . her dear mo'. her and father , to pray to the Lord to help I hem., for that they could not see the danger they were in. I. got ber out of the meeting as soon as I could, but she had lost her cloak, bonn. ct, handkerchief, and pattens, and was extremely disordered in her dress. She had been moving from one part of the meeting to the other, and, in her unbounded zeal, ha, d dropped her clothes, and they were trodden under feet. My daughter's conduct after attending the Revival was quite differ- ent to what it bad usually been. This was about seven weeks before the dreadful act was done. On another occasion she came home; pray ing in a horrible manner for the conversion of her father and mother. The Court.- r- Expkiin what you mean by praying in a horrible manner?— I mean violently and out- rageously agitated. From the commencement of lhe Revival she never missed but one meeting. She also attended prayer meetings and class meetings. Before the death of my, son, J apprehended my daughter would do ine some violence. Ou the Mon- day preceding, she came borne, and sat by the fire in a melancholy way, and said 4* Mother,. 1 am going out of my mind." 1 spoke a few words to pacify her, md she went to bed. The next night she said she was better, but she " appeared very low. On Wed- nesday night, on coming home, she said to me, 44 I am tempted to murder my mother.'" 1 said, I was surprised that she should think ol; murdering' me ; aud she said, 44 I do," After, she, had said this, she went to the Revival, and returned between nine and ten. From what she had said, I took the knives and hid them, to prevent her doing a mischief to herself, me, or the family. The Court.— These symptoms I observed on Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and on the Thursday the, child was killed.,, Mrs. Osborne examined.— I saw. the prisoner a week or ten days before the unfortunate affair hap- pened, when she said she had beeu , unwell, and that her illness was in her head : it appeared to her, she said, as if ihe top part of her head was heaving off; she also said that her brains fell as if they had been turned. She appeared , tu be in a very wild state, and her eyes were rolling in her head in a very vicious manner. I told hef.$ he should not give Way to ihose thoughts, and read some words to her iri the Bible, from Genesis, which appealed to make her more comfortable. At the close of the evidence the unhappy young woman, who had throughout the trial been too ill to pay much attention to w hat'had been passing, fainted,. and Was carried into the air, in strong Convulsions, bv five or six turn. In the street her distressing screams were heard for nearly a quarter of an hour, before, she could. a, gain be brought into Court. Mr. Justice Burrough said, there was no question but that llie, young woman at tbe bar was the cause of her brother's death, but it would be for the Jury maturely to ponsider, whether when she committed that act she was in a state of mind capable of distin- guishing, right from wrong, and if they should be of opinion that she did it in a moment when the imbe- cility of her mind was so great that she could not make that distinction, then the offence did not amount to wilful murder. It would not, however, he sufficient to acquit her of that crime, by suppos- ing that she had ac. terl under a momentary religious frenzy that did uot totally occasion such a defect in her mind as to deprive her of all reason. Upon looking at the facts given in evidence, it was almost impossible to conceive that the prisoner could be otherwise than insane when she determined on the murder of her own brother, as the. means of getting to Heaven. The Almighty has expressly declared that.' murder and suicide . were two of the highest Crimes that called for His vengeance ; but sttcb was the delusion this voting woman laboured under, that she first murdered her brother and then contemplated self- destruction, conceiving that by committing' those high offences siie should be securing a way to Heaven. It appeared that this young female had been iri the habit of attending religious meetings., as they were cal'ed, where tbe wildest arid most t/ xtravogaut. ex- citements were used that could possibly operate on the minds ofthe weak and lead them from a just sense of the. importance, and duties of religion. His Lord- ship knew nothing of the paiticular sect of persons that had been spoKen of to- day, and God forbid that he should he conceived as w ishing to restrain, any person from following those religious customs which were ' most, conformable to the conscience, hut he. did conceive that the general benefit of society should he attended to, arid - therefore lie could not but consider, that the doctrines aud made of worship, which in- culcated the pernicious principles that this young woman had acted upon, were injniious to society and ought to lie suppressed, lie therefore guarded the pastors of those congregations, against continuing in those practices as being derogatory to true religion, and- dangerous to the safety of tbe . community. His Lordship thought there were many circumstances iu the. ease, which decidedly showed the girl to have- been of an irregular mind when she did tiie act. Her mind, from mistaken impressions, produced by re- ligious excitations, had conceived that she must com- mit a murder before she could get to Heaven, and at one time she had marked out her own mother as the object who was to be devoted to her phrenzy ; at another time, children she had never seen before, were to be her victims; and lastly, her brother un- happily being in her power, she murdered him in the same absence of malice as she . would have done any oilier individual. If the Jury were of opinion, that the. child lost his liie while she was in, a state of insanity, they would return a verdict of not guilty on that ground, and his Majesty's Government would then protect her, till she was found to be sufficiently restored to her reason to be returned to her friends. Tbe Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, believ- ing her to be insane at the time. The Court ordered her to be detained iu custody. Printed and published by IV. fiddoiocs.

[ FROM TIIE MORNING POST,] Analogy so often deceives reason, that the- dif- ferences of things apparently similar are sel, doin remarked. This error strongly prevails in the com- parison between public and private debt. The debts of individuals are frequently a burden and unmixed evil to them ; it is therefore easily assumed that a national debt is an evil of greater magnitude, and more unlimited extent, pressing not only on the whole, but proportionally on the minutest part ; every individual, according to some reasoners, being personally engaged for the re- payment of the prin- cipal with interest of the money so advanced. This individual share, according to their system, has pre- cisely tbe same effects to each person as a private debt. But a national debt can only approximate to an individual debt, in the following impossible cir- cumstance,— That the money be borrowed from a foreign nation, possessing tbe rigbt and power of reclaiming the principal at a short notice. The possibility of such a demand, would be a source of perpetual terror to the nation, and Would effectually enslave it to a foreign power. Tbe interest would be spent out of the country, and consequently would be entirely lost to if. England would then stand in the situation of a private person who bad borrowed to the amount of fourteen years gross income, that is, would not be far from utter and hopeless ruin. This Is the general view of her situation. Analogy. . is against her, but experience for her. Both cannot be right, hut experience must be true. Let us examine then why the State has not only subsisted, : but is actually flourishing in circumstances appa- rency SIUIIK1I IU ttiu. n. v. i. r. u .. v.,.,,. private person. The causes are these:— Tlie qui- esceut state, or rather non- existence of the capital; aud because ho individual is personally responsible for the payment'of interest or capital. Jn private debts the capital is always in an active and threaten- ing state, and must generally be paid by tbe borrower, or his immediate descendant. Iu most cases lie has to pay the capital plus the interest for the time he has retained the whole or any part of it. His private,. burdens," however necessary to the family welfare, can never assume the form of an intermina- ble annuity,; they can never be divided equally between himself and his posterity. Another dis- fressitlg peculiarity ettends the Private Debt. As our means decrease, the demands of tbe creditor are ' more importunate and resistless. One case alone resembles the Public Debt; it is when money is invested in trade, manufactures, or commerce. In . this case, the borrower generally pays the interest and capital with ease, arid grows rich into the bargain. But the loss of interest, and repayment of capital, makes even this case far inferior to the Funding system, as it amounts in fact to a very large annuity, paid for tbe accommodation. Iu the Public Debt tiie acti ve aud dangerous influence of capital is annihilated. The Government is not responsible for its discharge, The public creditor has no claim, no power, no wish for repayment. As an individual, hbvfc'ever, he riiay always be repaid at a moment's warning, and, such is the credit of Government, generally- wilh considerable profit.— Debt and iu. teiest are words productive of error, when the subject matter are merely annuities, redeemable or not at pleasure. As long as these annuities are paid, with- out any great or disproportioued burden on the people, the debt, unlike private debts, is actually dischalged, and any surplus income is auace. umula lion of capital, which may often be applied to better purprisCs for the State than in the redemption of annuities. The great object of the Sinking" Fund is the regulation of payments, its original purpose being now found to be visionary. It is, in effect, the fly- wheel of the machinery, which equalises its force. Again, the private debt is an inseparable burden which no change of circumstances can. alle- viate or alter. The rigid text is, 44 pay me what thou owest," arid he whose purse is unequal to the discharge of his debts, must answer the demand iu person. Observe now the difference in what is called the public debt. There the demand accommodates itself to events. Tbe rich pay, and the poor are ' relieved. It shifts up and down with the tide, like, he famous bridge of Rouen. A person in distress can always relieve himself, however large his former payments may have been. With the carriage, the horse's, the man- servant, and lastly, with the house i and land, the claims of taxation vanish without loss i tothe national'income, for the poveity of one man , forms the riches of. another. But during this pro. i greSsiVe reduction, the private debt presses with • aggravated and increasing force. In the one case, imperial parliament* HOUS E OF CO \ 1 . MO N S — T U ES DAY. An animated discussion arose upon a suggestion made by Mr. WOOKHOCSK, that the reuinant of ( he Salt Ditties might be retained, and sonie other tax substituted for repeal. The proposal was rather favourably received bv the Chancellor of the Exehe quer; but it was treated as recommending a gross breach of faith by Mr. Calcraft und several other Members. A Debate of extraordinary eloquence followed upou a motion by Mr G. LAMB, for allowing Counsel to plead for persons accused of felony. The! mover introduced the subject in a very learned and perspicu- ous speech.— Sir James Mackintosh, Dr, Lushirigton, and M r. Denman supported the motion, which was op- posed by Mr. North, and by the Attorney and Solicitor General.— On a division, the motion was rejected by a majority of bO to 50. The House, on the motion of the'CHANCELLOR of. h the EXCHEQUER, went into a Committee on the Beer n Acts. The Right Hon. Gent, observed, that he had a so frequently postponed this subject, that, although t the hour was somewhat late, he could not again l consent to postpone if. At an early period of the o session au hon. member had proposed to transfer I the duty on beer to malt; but this he had considered t as an objectionable mode. As the law now stood r there were three sorts of beer. That of the lowest I quality paid 2s. per barrel duty ; the intermediate t beer, as it was called, paid 5s.; hut the strong' beer, 1 say, porter, paid 10s. per barrel duty. The House, t must be aware that there was intermediate- beer I between the strongest and that which paid'^ s:; 1 still there was no intermediate duty. This w; as ^' ii i incon venience, and Ivis object was to obviate it, if I possible ; aud he proposed to do this by having a 1 scale of duties proportionate to the strength. Avt. the'same time, he must declare that, under existing ] ciu'umstances, he did not mean to lose any revenue, ' and therefore lie should propose higher duties on the strongest beer. He should propose that two barrels from the quarter should pav a duty of 22s per barrel; < if three to four barrels, then to pay 12s. duty; be- < tweeh four and five barrels, 8s. ; and so on in proportion, till eight barrels of beer were made from the quarter, such beer to pay 5s. per barrel duty. Such an arrangement would relieve the brewers from many of the existing restrictions and regulations, The next point would relate to tbe persons who were to. be considered qualified to sell bee. By tbe law at present no person could sell beer to be consumed by retail on their premises, without a Magistrate's license. In the course of the last year, several prosecutions and convictions had' taken place in the case of brewers who had sold beer by retail ; appeals to the Court of King's Bench bad been instituted upon these convictions, hut the Court, owing to a pressure of business, had uot been able to give an opinion on the point of law. lie must con- fess that he did consider brewers had a right. to sell what they called the intermediate beer by retail on their own premises. During tbe last Session a learn- ed gentleman had proposed a measure which went to allow all persons of all descriptions to sell beer. He could hot go so far as that, but he did consider that brewers ought to he allowed to sell beer by . retail, if they took out a licence for that purpose. At present all brewers who brewed two thousand barrels, paid a license of £' 25, and it went on to increase, till per- sons who brewed- 40,000 barrels paid a license of £ 75. Now be should propose that the gradation should begin at a, lower rate, that a person who brewed 20 barrels should pay a 10s. license. If 100 barrels, then a license of £ 1. 5s., and so on in proportion. He should also propose that brewers who desired to retail should take out a license of £ 2. The Right Hon. Gent, proceeded to detail the rate at which publicans were now taxed for their licenses, and stated the various reductions which he intended to make in those licenses, which were calculated to ! bring these duties nearly to what they were previous to the last war duty being imposed on them ; and the Resolutions for carrying his propositions into effect were agreed to. The trial of the indictment against James'Stamp Sutton Cooke, and that person's conviction, for unlawfully trespassing on the estates of Sir George Jerningham, which took place at Gloucester on the 3< l inst. was given in our last Journal. It was ( herein stated that the indictment against Richard Stafford Cooke, who claims the Barony of Stafford, was not proceeded in, becausc he had pleaded that he. was. a Peer, and because the Court of King's Bench had allowed the plea to be good until the case of the Peerage should be decided. The validity of Mr. Cooke's claim to the Barony must, of course, be decided by a proper Tribunal; but as a matter of local concern, it may be interesting to many persons to know the nature of the claim set up by that individual. The following article, evidently written on behalf of Mr. Cooke ( and " In 1820, the present Sir George Jerningham petitioned the King for leave to bring- iri a Bill to reverse the attainder; which petition the brother of the present claimant opposed by a counter- petition, drawn up by his counsel, Mr. Harrison, and no further step has since been taken. " In December, 1822, after several interviews with Sir George and his solicitors, Mr. James Cooke ( having received a full power of attorney from his brother) went to Stafford." [ The acts for which Mr. J. S. S. Cooke was tried and convicted at Gloucester are then recited.] " The claimant, has pleaded his Peerage, and the Court of King's Bench, upon application to quash the plea, refused the application. This is the situation in which the case stands at present, I shall shortly glance at the extent of property sought, to be recovered. 44 TJ V the Act of Edward the Sixth, the claimant is entitled to seventeen towns, including- Stafford, Bridgnorth, - and Macclesfield. To vast estates in Shropshire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Wales. By further grants from Queens Mary and Elizabeth, to immense domains, including four castles, in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, and the greater part of the two county towns. The tenure by which Lord Stafford holds the Castle of Stafford is grand sergeantry, he being obliged to hold the King's stirrup when he passes through the town. He also is allowed to wear the Royal liveries, his ancestor the Duke of Buckingham being cousin to Henry the Fourth. " The writer of this at tide is now arranging the 44 That the Barony of Stafford is a Barony in fee, j has been satisfactorily proved by an Act of Parlia- ment discovered since Mr. Harrison gave the opinion above stated. And the same Act also shows that the estates. are inalienably annexed to the Barony,- being given for the better support and maintenance of the dignity ; therefore the present claimant, Richard Stafford Cooke, being the right heir in blood to the restored Lord ( which he is ready to prove before the House of Peers) must, if law is binding' equally on the rich and the poor, recover the titles, honours, and privileges, to which his birth entitles him. Enough has been said to show the justice and reasonableness ofthe claim setup hy the present claimant ; but as some doubts may be entertained respecting the attainder, the follow- ing facts are added, to convince the most incredu- lous that Sir George Jerningham is aware of the legal effect's of corruption of blood. 44 The attainder, it will be recollected, took place in 1680. Iii 1685 an application was made to Parliament for an Act to reverse the attainder, • which was refused ; in consequence of which, the King in the following year issued his letters patent., creating the eldest sod of the Viscount, an Earl, therein stating the disabilities of all the children under the attainder. 44 In the year 1800, the father of the present Sir George Jerningham presented a petition to tbe King on behalf of himself and Lady Anastasia Howard ( his cousin), then in France, praying that his Majesty wouTd give leave to bring in a Bill to reverse the attainder ; but no further steps were taken. In 1807, Lady A. dying, Sir George's father petitioned the King on his own behalf, as being the cousin and heir to the deceased Lady Anastasia, to be summoned as a Peer to Parliament, in respect of the Barony, which petition was re- ferred to the Attorney- General ( Gibbs), and in 1808 to the House of Peers. The evidence was pro- ceeded in till the year 1813, when Mr. James Cooke, the brother of the present claimant, being- in the House of Lords, heard the Counsel for the Petition state that Lady Dorothy ( daughter of the restored Lord) died without issue, and that there was nc other heir in existence but Sir George Jerningham Mr. James Cookethen wrote tothe Lord Chancellor, denying the assertion^ and assuring the House tha the monumental inscription of the said Lady Doro- thy in Saint Margaret's Church, Westminster proved that she left, issue ; and he further declare( that his brother, Richard Stafford Cooke, the de scendant of Lady Dorothy, was at. that time liviu< at Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire ; whereupon ai order was made for his attendance at the bar of th
