ED ASSEMBLAGE OF A STRONG FRENCH FORCE IN THE SOUTH AMERICAN SEAS.—- MR CANNING REPLIED THAT THERE WAS, IN HIS OPINION, NO FOUNDATION FOR THE RUMOUR, WHICH. HE ASCRIBED TO THE FORTUITOUS CONCOURSE OF SOME FRENCH YESSELS; AND TO THE IDLE BOAST, OF THEIR OFFICERS, THAT THESE WERE TO BE REINFORCED BY OTHERS. HE PROFESSED TO HAVE RECEIVED HIS INFORMATION FROM THE FRENCH MINISTER. MR. GOULBURN MOVED THE SECOND READING OF THE TITHES COMPOSITION BILL. THE RIGHT HON. SECRETARY DELIVERED A VERY CLEAR AND CONCLUSIVE SPEECH IN FAVOUR OF THE MEASURE, WHICH LIE SAID WAS RECOM- MENDED, NOT ONLY BY ITS INTRINSIC MERITS, BUT BY THE BENEFICIAL OPERATION OF THE BILL OF LAST YEAR, TO WHICH IT WAS BUT SUPPLEMENTARY.— SIR J. NEWPORT, MR. GRATTAN, & : MR. S, RICE. OPPOSED THE MEASURE BY THE HSUAL ARGUMENTS,— MR. PEEL SUPPORTED THE MEASURE. HE SHEWED THAT THE ARGUMENTS OF ITS OPPONENTS WERE THE SAME WHICH HAD BEEN OFFERED BY THE SAME GENTLE- MEN LAST YEAR, AND DISREGARDED WITH THE HAPPIEST RESULTS.— THE BILL WAS RFEAD A SECOND TIME, AND COM- MITTED FOR FRIDAY. HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE MOVED THE COMMITTAL OF THE UNITARIANS' MARRIAGE BILL. T3HE BISHOP OF CHESTER OPPOSED THE BILL, UPON THE GROUND THAT IT WOULD AMOUNT' TO A SURRENDER OF THE DOCTRINES AND DISCIPLINE OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. THE RIGHT REV. PRELATE CONCLUDED BY PROPOSING, AS ART AMENDMENT, THAT THE BILL SHOULD BE READ THAT DAY SIX MONTHS. THE BISHOP OF EXETER SUPPORTED THE MOTION. THE BILL LIE THOUGHT BUT A REASONABLE CONCESSION TO THE SCRUPLES OF THE. UNITARIANS. THE. BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S EXPRESSED A DOUBT WHETHER OPINIONS, PLAINLY REPUGNANT TO THE FUNDA- MENTAL DOCTRINES OF CHRISTIANITY, WERE ENTITLED TO SO MUCH CBNSIDEIATTON. THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY SUPPORTED THE MOTION. HE PROFESSED TO SET NO VALUE UPON THE INSINCERE AUD RELUCTANT CONFORMITY EXTORTED FROM DISSENTERS BY THE EXISTING MARRIAGE LAWS. THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE DEFENDED HIS BILL AT GREAT L. ENGTLI. HE, ASSERTED THAT IT PROFESSED NOTHING MORE THAN TO RESTORE THE UNITARIANS LO THE PRIVILEGES WHICH THEY ENJOYED BEFORE LORD HARDWIEKE'S MAR- RIAGE ACT ; WHICH DISSENTERS STILL ENJOV IN IRELAND, AND WHICH ARE NOW FREELY INDULGED TO QUAKERS AND JEWS IN THIS KINGDOM. THE LORD CHANCELLOR OPPOSED THE BILL, AS INI- MICAL TO THE SUPREMACY OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH, WHICH CHURCH HE VENERATED NOT . ONLY AS THE PUREST IN HER DOCTRINE, BUT, AS THE GREAT BULWARK OF CIVIL LIBERTY, AND THE ONLY SECURITY FOR A PERMANENT TOLER- ATION. THE DETAILS OF THE BILL, HE SAID, WENT TO DEGRADE THE CHURCH TO THE CONDITION OF HANDMAID TO THE DISSENTERS ; AND THEREFORE HE SHOULD OPPOSE IT. LORD HOLLAND SUPPORTED THE . BILL, AND RIDICULED THE EXAGGERATED STRAIN WHICH HE SAID HAD BEEN, IISED IN CANVASSING A MEASURE SO LIMITED IN ITS OPERATION AND PROBABLE INFLUENCE. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, professing the most devoted attachment to the Church of England, tie vert hel ess SU p ported the motion, which he thought only a reasonable concession.

French Machinery and Manufactures.— THE THIRD REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON ARTISANS AND MACHINERY, CONTAINS SOME CURIOUS DETAILS RESPECTING THE COMBINATIOU^ OF THE LABOURING ARTISANS, ARID THE STATE OF CERTAIN ARTS AND MANUFACTURES IN FRANCE. THE EVIDENCE OF A MR. ALEXANDER, WHO SEEMS TO HAVE GAINED A VERY EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF IHE STATE OF SOME OF THE MECHANIC ARTS, THERE, IN THE COURSE OF A LONG RESIDENCE IU THE COUNTRY, PLACES TIIE IMPOLICY OF OUR RESTRICTIONS ON THE EXPORTATION OF MACHINERY, AND THE EMIGRATION OF ARTISANS, IN A VERY STRIKING LIGHT. IT IS EVIDENT, FIRST, THAT THERE IS NO MACHINERY WHATEVER, MADE IN THIS COUNTRY^ WHICH CANNOT BE PROCURED IN FRANCE WITH THE UTMOST CERTAINTY WHEN WANTED ; SO THAT AS FAR AS OUR OBJECT IS TO CONCEAL THE CONSTRUCTION AND MECHANISM OF OUR. MOST VALUED INVENTIONS, THE LAWS ARE ENTIRELY INOPERATIVE. SECONDLY,, THE PROHIBITIONS UPON THE EXPORTATION, BY ENHANCING THE PRICE, ENCOURAGE THE FRENCH MECHANICS LO MANUFACTURE THE MACHINES THEM- SELVES. THIS IS EASILY ACCOMPLISHED BY BRINGING OVER SKILFUL WORKMEN FI- OM ENGLAND, WHO INSTRUCT IHE FRENCH ARTISANS IN ( LIE PROCESSES EMPLOYED. VVE PUT VOLUNTARY RESTRICTIONS UPON TH" DEMAND FOR COMMODITIES VVHICH WE MIGHT SELL WILH A PROFIT, TO TWENTY OR 6FTY LINIES THE ( PRESENT AMOUNT WITHOUT IN ANY DEGREE CONCEALING THE PROCCSS OF fabrication; AND WE ARE AT IHE SAME LIME FORCING OUR neighbours LO BECOME OUR RIVALS IN A GAINFUL BRANCH OF TRADE. IN MR. ALEXANDER'S OPINION, MUCH ENGLISH mo, CHINERY WOULD BE EXPORTED LO FRANCE, AS THE manu- FACTURERS IHERE THINK THE ENGLISH MACHINERY IS MUCH BETTER TH* N THE FRENCH ; AND, WERE IT AT IHE SAME PRICE, IF A MACHINE COST IN FIANCE £ 150, AND A FRENCHMAN COULD GET IT FROM ENGLAND AL LHAT PRICE, HE WOULD PREFER THE . LATTER, FROM IHE IDEA LHAT THE ENGLISH WAS BETTER . THAN THE FRENCH. PERHAPS A BETTER PROOF OF LIIE IMPOLICY OF OUR PRESENT REGULATIONS CANNOT BE GIVEN'THAN THAT LIIE FRENCH GOVERNMENT, WILH THE OBVIOUS DESIGN OF INJURING - ONR MANUFACTURES, AND FAVOURING ihtir OWN, FILL UP'I HE BLANKS AS IT WERE OF OUR SVSTEM, BY IMPOSING HEAVY DUTIES ON IHE IMPORTATION OF SOME OF THOSE MACHINES WHICH OUR OWN R^ SIRICIIOUS DO NOT AFFECT. AS FUR LIIE LAWS AGAINST IHE EMI- . GRATION OF ARTISANS, THEY ARE IN IBE CASE of FRANCE A PERFECT BIN USQUE ON LEGISLATION, WHDE v. E AIE PERSUADING OURSELVES THAT THE KINGDOM IS HER- INETIEALLV SCALED FOR EVERY man that WEARS A MECHANIC'S APRON, NO LESS THAN I' 3,000 WENT TO FIANCE IN THE TWO LAST YEARSf So easily is IT MANAGED, THAT MR.

FRONJ 12 TO 20 are sure to apply," THE wages, IVOWEVER, which British workmen, receive in FIANCE by no'means remuneiate them' for leaving fiome.

THE FOLLOWING CURIOUS STATEMENT WAS MADE BE- FORE THE- SELECT COMMITTEE ON ARTISANS AND M<> CHINERY ( THE FOURTH REPORT OF WHICH HAS JUST BEEN DELIVERED) BY MR. OS'ER, A GLASS TRINKET MANU- FACTURER AND A CHANDELIER FURNITURE' INAOUFACIURER. MR. OSIER WAS DEPUJED'STO ATTEND THE COMMITTEE BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT BIRMINGHAM :— " EIG- HTEEN, YEARS AGO, ON MY FIRST JOURUEV TO LONDON, A RESPEOTAB E LOOKING MAN IN THE CITY ASKED ME IF I COULD SUPPLY HIM WITH DOLLS' EYES; AND I WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO FEEL HALF OFFENDED. I THOUGHT IT DEROGATORY TO MY NEW DIGNITY, AS A MANUFACTURER, TO MAKE DOLLS' EYES. HE TOOK ME INTO A ROOM QUITE AS WIDE AND PERHAPS TWICE THE LENGTH OF THIS ; AND WE HAD JUST ROOM TO WALK BETWEEN STACKS, FROM THE FLOOR TO THE CEILING, OF PARTS OF DOLLS. HE SAID, " THESE ARE ONLY THE LEGS AND ARMS; THE TRUNKS ARE BELOW." BUT. I SAW ENOUGH TO CONVINCE ME THAT HE WANTED A GREAT MANY EVES ; AND AS THE ARTICLE APPEARED QUITE IN MY OWN LINE OF BUSINESS, I SAID I WOULD TAKE AN ORDER, BY WAY OF EXPERIMENT ; AND HE SHEWED ME SEVERAL SPECIMENS, 1 COPIED THE ORDER. HE ORDERED VARIOUS QUANTITIES, AND OF VARIOUS SIZES NND QUALITIES. ON'' RETURNING TO THE TAVISTOCK HAIL, I FOUND THAT THE ORDER AMOUNTED TO UPWARDS OF £ 500, I WENT INTO THE COUNTRY, AND ENDEAVOURED TO IPAKE THEM. I HAD SOME OF THE MOST INGENIOUS GLASS TOY- MAKERS IN THE KINGDOM IU MY SERVICE ; HUT WHEN I SHEWED IT TO THETII, THEY SHOOK THEIR HEADS, AND SAID TLIEV HAD OFTEN SEEN THE ARTICLE BEFORE, HUT CON I'D NOT MAKE IT. I ENGAGED THEM BY PRESENTS TO USE THEIR BEST EXER- TIONS ; BUT AFTER TRYING ARID WASTING A GREAT DEAL OF LIME FOR THREE OR FOUR WEEKS, I UYS OBLIGVD JTO RELIN- QUISH THE ATTEMPT. § OOI) AFTERWARDS 1 ENGAGED IN UHOFB. ER BRANCH OF BUSINESS ( CHANDELIER FIIRNIIUSE), AND TOOK NO MORE NOTICE OF'IT. ABOUT EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO I RESUMED THE TRINKET TRADE, AND TLW- N DETERMINED TO THINK OF THE DOLLS' EYES ; AND ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS SINCE I ACCIDENTALLY MET WITH A POOR FEIIOW WHO HAD IMPOVERISHED HIMSELF BY DRINKING-, AND WHO WAS DYING IN A CONSUMPTION, IN A STATE OF GREAT WANT. I SHOWED HIM I, ELF SOVEREIGNS ; AND HE SAID HE WOULD INSTRUCT ME IN THE PROCESS. HE WAS IN SUCH A STATE THAT HE COULD NOT BEAR THE EFFLUVIA OF HIS OWN LAMP; BUT THOUGH I WAS VERY CONVERSANT WITH THE MANUAL PART OF THE BUSINESS, AND IT RELATED TO THINGS I WAS DAILY IN THE ' HABIT OF SEEING, I FELT I COULD DO NOTHING FROM BIS DESCRIPTION, ( I MENTION THIS TO SHOW BOW DIFFICULT IT JS TO EDRIVEY BY DESCRIP- TION THE MODE OF WORKING.)' LIE TOOK ME TO HIS GARRET, WHERE THE POOR'' YELLOW HAD ECONOMISED TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT HE ACTUALLY USED THE ENTRAILS AND FAT OF POULTRY FROM LEAD EN HALL MARKET TO SAVE OIL, THE PRICE OF THE ARTICLE HAVING BE. EN LAFERLY SO MUCH REDUCED BY COMPETITION AT HOME; IN AN INSTANT, BEFORE I BAD SEEN HIM MAKE THREE, I FELT COMPETENT TO MAKE A GROSS; AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JIIS MODE AND THAT <> F MY WORKMEN WAS SO TRIFLING, THAT 1 FELT THE UTMOST ASTONISHMENT. YOU CAN NOW MAKE DOLLS' EYES ?— I CAP. AS IT WAS EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO THAT I RECEIVED THE ORDER I HAVE MENTIONED, AND FEELING DO. U. BTFUL OF MY O.

I MENTION THIS MERELY TO SHEW THE IMPORTANCE OF TRIFLES ; AND TO ASSIGN ONE REASON, AMONGST MANY, FOR MY . CONVICTION, THAT NOTHING/ BUT PERSONAL COMMUNICATION CTJUI ENABLE OUR MANUFACTURES TO BE TRANSPLANTED. lie • HOt'SE. 04' LORDS— WEDNESDAY. The MARQUIS'of LANSDOWNE introduced a biil lo render Roman Catholics in England eligible to certain • offices ; and his Lordship stated that the effect of this bill, together with that w hich be had brought in before the recess, would be to place English Cat holies as nrticb as possible in the same siiuanon as those of Ireland. Both bills, in fact, were part of the same measure.— The bill was read a- first time. HOUSE or COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. Sir THOMAS LETHBKIDGR' presented a Petition from Sir J. 0. Hippewley, Bart, and Mr. Briscoe, a Magistrate of Surrey", against the Tread Mill, w hich was ordered to be printed. Colbnei . Davuis moved for leave to bring in a bill to alter the constitution off he Irish Militia, and to diminish the number of its officers.. He was opposed by Sir GKOUGK HILT, and Mr. GOULBURN, and on a division the motion was lost bv a majority of 26 against' 10. HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. Mr. Secretary CANNIN G said that he had received from the Fiencii. Government a communication, in which every ship which had been at, the Brazils was fully accounted for, and their respective destin alio us explained, which were totally ( liferent from those assigned to them, by the reports. The French force at Rio Janeiro consisted of two instead of eight frigates ; and. of those two, one was now on its way home. The British naval force there which " was stationed, not from any apprehensions that the Government entertained, but for the necessary protection of our commerce in those seas — consisted of two i'ine- of- buttle ships. He would take this Opportunity also of stating, that there was at this . moment no foreign station where the force of this country did not out- number that of every other: power in the world. Mr. HUM*;," after entering into a long statement relative to the Irish Church Establishment, con eluded by moving a resolution, u That it is expe ' client to enquire whether the present Church Establishment of Ireland be not more than com. mensurate to the services to be performed, both as regards the number of persons employed, and tli iucomes they receive." — Mr. STANLEY and Mr JDAWSON opposed the motion J and the latter gentle man spoke in the highest, ' terms of the Irish'Pro test a ui Clergy, maintaining that wherever the P. o. estaiit Church was most strongly established in Ireland, there tbe greatest prosperity, quiet, and good order prevailed. — Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE and Mr. ROBERTSON were- of opinion, that as long- as the revenues of the Established Church in Ire- land were. 1 continued in their present integrity, t- hey bad no hope of the peace and prosperity of Ireland.— Mr. PLUNKETT spoke at considerable length against the motion, and against the speech of Mr. Hume, who, lie said, was for no Church Establishment. He concluded by stating, that the xistence of the Protestant Establishment was the only bond of connection between the two countries ; and the moment the Clergy were despoiled. of their properties, or their characters degraded, the doom of the connection would be sealed.— Sir FRANCIS BURDETTsupported the motion, and Mr. L. FOSTER opposed it.— Mr. HUME replied, and the House then divided upon the motion, when there appeared — for Mr. Hume's proposition, 79 j against it 152— majority against the motion, 73. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The Equity Loan Society Bill was read a second time and committed. Petitions were presented against it by the Pawnbrokers of London, but. no debate on the question arose.* The Bill is expected to pass without opposition. The attention of the House was afterwards occu- pied for a considerable time iu the reception of a great number of Petitions, many of which were from Licensed Victuallers in different parts of the kingdom against the New Beer Duties Bill. TLIE BUDGET. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER then brought forward his Budget, but the elaborate financial exposition which the Right Hon. Gerit. made at the commencement of the Session, of course deprived this customary annual detail of nearly all the interest that used to belong to it. There were, however, one or two important points touched upon. In the first place it is determined to reduce the interest on Exchequer bills from twopence to three " half- pence'per diem ; and it will be by an issue of Exchequer bills, hearing this rate of interest, that the non- assenting holders of four per cent, stock will be paid off. The total amount of the four per cent, stock was seventy- five millions. The assents cover sixty- eight millions, and the remaining seven millions held by the dissentients nil I thus be paid ofl* in October next, by an issue of Exchequer bills at a reduced interest; and from this period the assents will receive three and a half instead of four per cent. Notice to this effect has been issued to holders. The Exchequer bills " themselves, princi- pal as well as interest, are to be discharged by the Commissioners for the redemption of the National Debt, at the rate of one million per. quarter. No less gratifying was the view which the Right Hon. Gent, was enabled to take of the progress of those measures which, though not immediately brought forward in aid of the, finances of the country, promise, by regulating its industry on sound principles, to add larg- ely to the resources of the nation. The repayments made on account of the alteration in the silk duties will approach £ 500,001). This sum, though larger than that which the Chancellor of the Exchequer hoped would suffice, has had the effect of keeping the silk weavers actively at work, and may therefore lie considered to have been well laid out. The Right Hon. Gentleman added, that none of the evils expected from it had been realized, but every benefit which the supporters of the biil had pro- mised themselves was likely to be secured.— The whole statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman was of, the most gratifying character; and while it proved that, the nation was enjoying prosperity, it distinctly pointed to a further reduction of expenditure. SAVINGS BANKS. O'N the motion of the CHANCELLOR of tlie EX- CHEQUER the House went into a Committee ou the Sayings Banks'. Acts, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would not detain the Committee long in explaining t) ie nature of the alterations, he was desirous to propose. The first object lie had in view was to assimilate the la v on this subject in Ireland to that of England. The next thing he wished was to introduce some alterations relative to that part of the, law which permitted friendly societies and charitable institutions to subscribe to Savings Banks. He could not help fearing that the high rate of interest g- iven by the law to Savings Banks, bad operated with respect to many institutions as an inducement to put their funds into the Savings " Banks, and thereby, at the expense of the public, to increase their incomes, which was obviously contrary to the spirit of the law which regulated Savings Banks, because although it might be. reasonable to allow institutions to have all the . advantage of the security of a Savings Bank, yet it neve, r could have been intended that institutions of that kind should make use of the Savings Banks as a means of increasing- their funds : the object of Savings Banks being to allow industrious persons to obtain a secure and profitable investiture of their savings. Perhaps, therefore, instead of allowing all institutions of this kind indiscriminately to subscribe to Savings Banks, or to subscribe to them if the Trustees of the Banks allowed them , so to do, it would be better to establish this species of limitations, viz. that no friendly society or cha- ritable institution that had any endowment belong- ing to it should be allowed to subscribe to these Banks at all, except in those cases where the ' endowment was so small as to he exonerated from the Land Tax, which would bean indication of the smallness of the funds. It would be right to exclude those institutions where the endowment was not so small as would be indicated by the lest. He thought. Hospitals ought not to be allowed to subscribe at al! to these Savings Banks. They were supported in the most liberal manner by the public, and it did not appear to him it would be consistent with propriety that the income of hospitals should . be increased at the public experiscj by a charge on the Consolidated Fund, which was the effect, in the present state of things, of allowing them to sub- scribe ; and it did appear fit and proper to exclude them from the right to subscribe or derive 4.| per cent, which . was granted to the accumulated funds' of contributors of the labouring classes. With regard to friendly societies, from which he would jiot take awav the right, they ought, not to be allowed to have more than a sum of £ 500 in the ' Savings Banks. This limitation he proposed to prevent the higher rate of interest which was granted to the public, from being improperly applied, and putting the public to considerable and improper expense. The same circumstance of the liigh rate of interest granted by the law undoubt- edly might induce individuals to subscribe to these Savings Banks who never could have. been con- templated by the Legislature when they established these institutions. The most direct mode of pre- i venting such a use of them would he to say the J higher nate of interest should be withdrawn, and i there were many reasons which might induce one to. prefer that mode oivproceedino- in regard to future contribution^ but lie thought there mi^ ht be considerable objections to making a difference etween one class of contributors and another, because it would be exceedingly unjust to say to those who had already subscribed, they should be deprived of the advantage the law granted them, aud it might have a tendency to destroy that sort of confidence in these institutions which it was clear, for ten thousand reasons, for the comfort, moral feeiing, and well- being of the Stale, ought, o be preserved. He might venture to say, that although the granting this high rate of interest was apparently ii great inducement to persons to > ut in, who ought not to do so, and for " whom the aw never was intended, he believed that, in point of fact, the great mass of contributors were, after all, the industrious labouring people ; but, at the sahie time, the thing might be abused, and some means should be taken to guard against it, aud the mode in which he proposed to meet, the chance of abuse was this. At present a person contributed £ 100 the first year, and £."> 0 the next. It was clear that was a larger sum than it was possible to suppose any, labouring-- man could weeumuiate out of his wages or means, - and individuals who put in sums to that amount must have other sources than their own labour. Pie proposed to diminish the amount to £ 50 instead of £" 100, and £ 30 instead of £ 50. That" would leave the institution open to the contribution of all persons for whom it was in- tended, and not narrow the real essential benefits of the institutions themselves. There was another mode in which the law might be evaded. Indi- viduals might put sums into different banks. He should meet that by proposing that the person contributing should enter into a declaration lie bad contributed to no other bank, and if, having made that declaration, it . should appear he • bad contri- buted, he should forfeit his deposit. Contributors should also subscribe their own. names. At. present tliev subscribed by a letter or figure. That was obviously a means of abuse, and by recurring to the contributors' own names, you would facilitate the execution of the other restriction - of not depo- siting in more than one bank, and so far prevent fraud. With regard to the mode in which Trea- ! supers made away with. the funds, and deprived the contributors of their right, questions had arisen of considerable difficulty, as to the degree of liability of ihe trustees. Treasurers and Secretaries had not been quite so steady as they ought to have heen^ and had contrived to make away with some of the funds deposited in their bands, and doubts had arisen whether in point of law the trustees were not responsible for any loss that might accrue. It was rather a nice point to say, not whether they were liable, hut whether they ought to be liable. If you made them liable for too much, Von would prevent proper persons becoming' trustees; but it was necessary to give contributors some security, that the trustees would take care to select proper per- sons, and the best. security was to make the trustees l iable to a certain amount to answer for deficiencies He proposed, therefore, not less than twelve trus tees; and that each of those trustees should he answerable for the sum of £ 50, making in the whole £ 600. One Resolution was, in case of a run on the Saving Banks, to authorize the Treasury to issue Exchequer Bills to make them good, until the money could be obtained by selling out stock These were the principal alterations lie would suggest.

Princess- Street, Mai/ Wh, 1824. His Majesty's health, we are happy lo say, con- tinues to improve. On Saturday afternoou. he rode out for ihe first time since his illness, and drove himself in his pony phaeton through the l. ittle Park and Frogmore, to the Royal Lodge. ' Tester, day his Majesty and suite attended Divine'Service al ihe private Chapel.— The postponement of the Drawing- room- has been deemed projtej-, solely in consequence of some remaining weakness iu bis Majesty's legs, which would obviously render the fatigue of a Drawing- room, where etiquette im- poses the necessity of standing for several hours, peculiarly painful and oppressive. ' Fhe most san- guine hopes, however, are entertained lhat Ibis slight debility will be entirely removed before the 20th. Au application was made iu the Court of King's Bench, on Saturday, on the part of Mr. Richard Stafford Cooke, that he may amend his plea of leerage, in reference to the prosecution agaiust him \ v Sir G.

SHOPLATOH, MAY 11TH, 1824. LONDON— SJTURD A Y. The Gazelle of this evening contains a nolid from the the Lord Chamberlain's Office, that " the Drawing lioom intended to be held at St. James's Palace, 011 Thursday next, in celebration of His Majesty's Birth day, is postponed to Thursday, the 20th instant.''-—- This alteration is supposed t be in consequence of his Majesty's health not being yet sufficiently confirmed to permit bis undergoing the fatigue so early. The Paris papers of Thursday state that the final decision of the Chamber of Deputies on the project of the law for tbe reduction of the rentes, was carried in the affirmative by a majority of 93. A larger majorily is looked for in the Chamber of Peers. Orders have been issued by Government for im- mediately forwarding to Cape Coast Castle 130 tons of provisions and 40 tons of ordnance stores. AFFAIR OF HONOUR— TENTH HUSSARS.— In consequence of a message delivered from Mr. Battier ( late Cornet in the 10th Hussars) to the Marquis of Londonderry, and subsequent arrange- ments, the parties met yesterday a few miles from town. Mr. Battier was attended by Col. Wood- house; the Marquis of Londonderry's secoud Was Sir Henry Hardinge, Bart. M. P. Tbe pistols having been delivered, the parties took their around, and the word being given to fire, Mr. Battier ( as we are informed) snapped his pistol, which either missed fire or flashed in the pan. The Noble Marquis reserved his fire, and desired that Mr. Battier should be furnished with another pistol, which the latter Gentleman refused. A reconciliation in consequence ensued, and we believe the parties returned to town together in the Noble Marquis's carriage.— Tbe above is all that h s yet transpired connected with the termination of the affair of " The Tenth," as it is called. The Lord Chancellor, in giving judgment in tbe long protracted case of Beer v. Ward, yester- day, ordered the case to be seut to a " trial at bar," in which the opinions of all the Judges would be taken, as well 011 tbe law as on the general cir- cumstances of the case. The trial will take place in the King's Bench. Letters have been received from Mexico, dated the' 13th of March. They announce the nomina- tion of Senor Jose de Marian Michelena, one of tbe three Members of the Executive, and formerly Piesident, as Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain. ft is appointment is to be on a very splendid scale. He brings with him two secre- taries, and is to receive a salary of 30,000 dollars annually. Captain Parry gave, 011 Monday, a farewell Ball on board tbe Heclaand Fury, to which 600 persons of the highest respectability were invited. This morning being appointed for the departure of the Hecla and Fury from Deptford, the officers and crews of both ships were mustered last night, and many of their friends proceeded on board with them. The Hecla wa3 swung from her buoy at early hour, and during the removal of the luggage, & c. from the transport, the vessel was surrounded with boats filled with officers and seamen bidding farewell to the crew. Captain Parry soon after arrived 011 board and was received with loud cheers. Final orders were then given to get under weigh, and she dropped down the river towed by the Comet steam boat. The sailing of the Fury was delayed until to morrow.— The Hecla stops a few days at Northfleet. As she proceeded on her way, she was loudly cheered from the multitudes on the river and groups on the shore. The crew of the Griper, which is to take out the land expedition, under Captain Hoppner, exchanged three hearty cheers with that of the Hecla. MARRIED.

At Bala Great Session, the Judges for tlie North Wales Circuit were pleased to admit David Wil- liams, of Pwllheli, Gentleman, an Attorney and Solicitor of his Majesty's Court of Great Sessions for the several Counties of Carnarvon, Anglesea, and Merioneth. At Monmouth Borough Session, held on the 3d inst. a case which excited an uncommon degree of interest was brought before the Magistrates. It appeared that two young men, a short time ago, commenced business as linen- drapers, & c. in that town, under the firm of Scott aud Glyn ; and having been successful enough to obtain a considerable share of the business of the town, soine of their neighbours felt jealous at their growing prosperity, aud sagaciously plotted the destruction of their flattering- prospects. No less than five informations were laid against these young men for sellin^ goods contrary to an Apt of Parliament passed in the 50th year of l) is late Majesty. S. and G. bad engaged a shop and two rooms for 12 months ; but it was contended by their opponents that such occu- pancy did not constitute them householders; and that to become legally entitled to the privilege of offering goods for sale, they must occupy a whole house, and pay taxes. Messrs. S. and G. were convicted on these grounds by a Magistrate, on the 26th of January, and this was an appeal against such conviction. After an inquiry and discussion, which lasted for upwards of eight hours, it was satisfactorily proved that these young men had commenced business in the usual way, and it was decided that it was not necessary for them to rent a whole house nor to pay taxes in order to entitle them to become reg'ular traders. The conviction was of course set aside— and the decision was re- ceived with the utmost satisfaction by a crowded court.

Whoever is found in bed after six o'clock, from May- day till Michaelmas, cannot, iu any con- science," expect to be free from some ailment or other, dependent on relaxed nerves, stuffed lungs, disordered bile, or impaired digestion. We can do nothing for you— absolutely nothing— if you do not rise early— except we drug you with draughts, a luxury which the indolent morning- sleeper must prepare himself lo purchase dearly. We give him jov of his choice- bid him good- bye— and, spring- ing out into the sunny air, we gather health from every breeze, and become young again among the glittering Mav- dew, and the laughing May- flowers. " What a luxury do the sous of sloth lose!" says Hervey in his flowery Reflections on a Flower Garden. " Little, ah little, is the sluggard sensible how great a pleasure he foregoes for the least felt of all animal gratifications:" yet wonderful it is, that this drowsy indulgence is persisted in by thousands, till their nerves are stewed and un- strung, and feebleness and disease have become their inseparable companions for life. Be per- suaded, make an effort to shake oft'the pernicious habit—" go forth," as King Solonioii says, " to the fields — lodge in the villages— get up early to the vineyards— see if the vine flourish, and whether the tender grape appear ;"* mark the budding flowers— listen to the joyous birds— in a word, cul- tivate rural pleasures, and health and vigour will, we promise you, most certainly follow. May is of itself, for the most part, a 1' ' altby month ; for though many are now bad with con- sumptions, asthmas, rheumatism, and gout, yet these are rather the remaining effects of the sharp East winds of March and April, than of the weather in May. Now and then, indeed, a cold day, and sometimes several occur in May, though usually the month can scarcely be considered as belonging either to spring or summer; but is " like an after dinner's sleep, dreaming on both.''- f- The diseases peculiar to May, therefore, are generally mild aud safe; the weather, as our friend Mr. Hadeu re- marked, not being cold enough to produce the disorders of cold weather, nor warm enough to give rise to the diseases of the dog- dais. It is, there- fore, invigorating to the aged, refreshing- to the invalid, and, as the farmer would say, " good growing weather" for the young. There may, however, be too much of a good thing, as the poor bee in the fable discovered while smothering iu the honev- pot; and so also may the young and grow- ing feel to their cost, while the' May weather is r.

D. 2 4 o 4 2 8 8 2 11 2 11 3 2 0 8 0 8 1 0 1 0 1 3 1 3 1 6 less The most authentic knowledge of the. power, iai'acter,. and manners Of the Ashantees, is derived frofc the account by Mr. Bowdich, of the mission to Comassie,. the capital, which he conducted ( ihe missioiVroentioned in our 4th page to have been sent by the African Company in 1817). ' Phis gentlemah, in describing the objects and departure of his mission, states that two writers, Bosnian and Barbot, mention the Ashantee as first heard of by Europeans about the year 1706. Issert, a physician in the Danish service, who meditated a visit to Ashantee writes— " This mighty king has a piece of gold as a charm, more than four men can carry ; aud innu- merable slaves are constantly at work for him in the mountains ; each of them must collect or: pro- duce two ounces of gold per diem.'''' He also describes it as a very formidable nation - other authors speak of it as a powerful kingdom, " We entered Comassie ( says Mr. Bowdieh) at two o'clock, passing under a sacrifice of dead sheep, wrapped up in red silk, and suspended between two lofty poles. Upwards of five thousand people, the greater part warriors, met us, with awful bursts of martial music, discordant only in its mixture; for horns, drums, rattles, and gongons were all exerted, with a zeal bordering on frenzy, to subdue us by first impressions. The smoke which encircled us, from the incessant discharges of musketry, con fined our glimpse to the foreground, and we were halted, whilst the captains performed their pyrrhic dance, in the centre of the circle formed by the warriors, where a confusion of flags, English, Dutch, and Danish, were waved and flourished in all directions, the bearers plunging and springing from side to side with a passion of enthusiasm only equalled by the captains, who followed them, dis- charging their blunderbusses so close, that the flags were now and then in a blaze," He describes their dress as most strange and fantastical. Each held suspended to his wrist a small quiver of poisoned arrows. Vast crowds weie assembled from curiosity to see the white people, and the better sort appeared to have pre pared some accommodations for the convenience of the shew, not unlike what would be devised among ourselves for witnessing any extraordinary procession. As the individuals of the mission pproaehed nearer the place of the majestic pre sence of the Ashantee king, the imposition of very sort was concentrated; the more choice ealth ( chiefly plate) ; the more dignified officer were assembled. A delay of some minutes," says the narrator, " while we severally approached to receive, tfie * ing's hand, afforded us a thorough view of him ; is deportment first excited my attention ; native ignity in princes we are pleased to call barharoius was a curious spectacle ; his manners were majestic, yet courteous, and he did not allow his surprise to beguile him for a moment of the composure, of the monarch ; he appeared to be about 38 years of age, nelined to corpulence, and of a benevolent counte-, nice?' Mi:. Bowdieh, then enters minutely into the description of his Ashantee Majesty and his court, which displays a degree of splendour scarcely ere dible in a nation so remote from civilization. The chief ministers appear to be the linguists, whose business it is to accompany the expeditions in war, to improve . success by negocialion, and to devise modes of extorting contributions from the liscomfited foe. The general remains in the rear of bis troops, to puuish with death those who show Cowardice, not, as might rather he expected iimong barbarians, leading the brave in the onset. When the result of an important action is expected, even with an anxiety by no means san- uine, and the messengers are known to be near the capital, the King is always seated in pubi e, with his golden worra before him, playing with some dignitary, and thus receives the news, to impress the people with confidence by his affected indifference to victory or defeat. " Several of the hearts of the enemy are cut out by the Fetish men, who follow the army, and the blood and small pieces being roasted with various consecrated herbs, all those who had never engaged an enemy before ate a portion ; for it is believed if they do not, their vigour and courage would be secretly wasted by the haunting spirit of the de- ceased. It was said that the king aud all the digni- taries partook of the heart of any celebrated enemy. i( It is the invariable policy of Ashantee to make the contingents of the power last subdued, the re- volted recently quelled, or the allies last accepted, the. van of their army throughout the campaign ; and very frequently there are no Ashantees but captains with the arinv, but it is composed entirely of tributaries and allies. 1' Speaking of the military forces, Mr. Bowdieh says— (< I can only calculate the population of the kingdom of Asliantee, small in itself, from its mili- tary force, which amounts to204,000. This appears an extravagant force, when we recollect that it is probably one- fifth of the whole population. Barbot heard of the Ashantees losing 50,000 in two actions, an exaggeration which, nevertheless, serves to argue great military resources. Since the Ashantee invasion, their disposable force has been estimated bv old residents, in public reports, us upwards of 150.000." THE LATE- RICHARD PAYNE KNIGHT, E — This gentleman had long heen distinguished in all the literary circles of England and Europe; with very little assistance from teachers, he deservedly anked in the fersu class of Grecian scholars ol' the present day, and was deeply conversant in all sub- jects of literary antiquity. He was eminently skilled lid generally consulted iu every material point of vertu aud taste in the Metropolis; he rebuilt the family mansion at Downton, and disposed the adja- cent grounds in the best, style of classic decoration and fine effect ; and he erected a museum in Soho. square for his splendid collection of ancient broozesv medals, pictures, and drawings. Mr. Knight was also a poet, and as such, displayed great vigour of. mind* with ease, learning, and ta- ste. He Was- a welt- * juali& cd and gratuitous contributor to the Edinburgh K e. Yiif; vV', his ample fortune placing him above all con- sidewtio^ vof pecuniary n- compfoce. He w; is ready to afford inffirjiiation on. all subjects of learning u hic'h were, sMbinit. led to his judgment; and his: observa- tions were always marked hy intelligence and acute, ness. He was anxious to eulrivsite ihe acquaintance f those, who, like himself, were distinguished hy then- knowledge and talents in the Fine Arts. live, dale Price, Esq. the author of Essays on the Pic- turesque, & c. was his particular friend; he was also very intimate with the late Sir Joseph Banks iind Mr. John Kemble. Some literary couimunrca- ious which took place between Mr, Knight and Mr. Kenihle on the state of dramatic performances, and the estimation in which actors were held in ancient Greece ( some of whom were Ambassadors and even Legislators), would, if published, be found well worthy of general auention, not only on account of the theatrical taste of the present period, but as meriting a place in. the records of general liter- ature. From his deep researches into the most ab- struse anil difficult subje. cis of Heathen Mythology, some persons wdio. Averemot sufficiently learned it. understand the nature, application, and objects of those researches, have. supposed that Mr. Knight's moral and religious principles were feeble and un- fixed; but whoever has read the preface to his last production " the Romance- of Alfred" must have dis- covered how very erroneous was thai opinion. In the 7th page, lie speaks of u a just and merciful God," and treats with respect " the different modifications of Christianity." In his u Reflections on the conduct and character of Napoleon Bonaparte," ( P. l( j) he observes that u he is now gone lo render his account before; a higher tribunal than any which this world can afford ; that tribunal of which usurpers, tyrants, and) conquerorsseldom feel much awe ;" adding that 44 however, as Christians, we may wish them to find that mercy hereafter, which they never practised here, it is our duly, as moralists, labouring to avert the temporary evils and calamities of our fellow- creatures, to speak of them only as they deserve; to strip successful wickedness of its baleful splendour, and, by holding it up to the scorn and detestation of after ages, turn the love of fame into the love of virtue.'" Mr, Knight represented the borough of Ludlow . in several successive Parliaments, in polit he , was a genuine Whig, lamenting " the wasteful profusion of the British Governments," commencing ; wjH) that of Mr.- Pitt, but combining loyalty to tin Sovereign wit ha strict regard to the rights and in teresjs of the people. Iu his manners he was re- served but not repulsive; warm in his friendships, aud. social in his disposition. He expired in the76.' h yeag^ ofdiis jige, unmarried, and leaving, as reported, .. the British Museum, ( or in other words, to tin ^ riflsfj; phblii?|, his in valuable Collection ; and be : que| itii'i. ng his other large possessions to his brother T. A. Knight, Esq. President of the London Horn Cultural Society, and to his nephew, T. A. Knight Esq junior. Thus honourably terminated the life of a Gentleman, which, in his own language, 4* was spent alternately in the indulgences of polished societv and. ttse Contemplative tranquillity of studious re. tiVement." Provincial an& mmtnmuom. British and Foreign Bible Society. On Wednesday, the great General Meeting of the British and Foreign... Bible Society was held in the large hall of th£ Freemasons' Hall. At a very early ronr the hall was filled by Clergymen, and a number ofthe most eminent individuals in the metropolis; and in all no less than 1800 were present. Lord TEIGNMOUTH wastmanimonsly called to the chair. The Secretary read the Report, which was ex- ceedingly voluminous, and gave a detailed account of tlie great progress of the society in every part of the globe. The issue of Bibles in new dialects had heen greater during the last year than on any former occasion. Thev had copies of the sacred volume printed iri the Esquimaux and Otaheitan languages, and the light of divine truth" was now; penetrating iiv the most benighted countries. The account of the Scriptures having been printed and circulated throughout Ireland iu the Irish language was re- ceived with particular applause. They had also been printed in the Welsh language. The Be, port mention- ed that since the last anniversary 47 new auxiliary institutions had risen to their aid. The statements? contained in it were throughout received with marks of high satisfaction. The Earl of HARROWBY moved that the Report should be agreed to.— The motion was seconded by the Earl of RODEN, who addressed the Society at great length. He said he knew an individual, a ntun of pleasure and a man of the wijrld, w- ho was only anxious for the world's applause and admiration. ThaM nd i v id mil, so m e time since, from motives of curiosity, w ent to one of the anniversary meetings of the Irish Bible Society. He was ashamed almost of being seen there, and hid hiinseif in the most retired part of the room. He listened with astonishment to the sentiments that were there uttered, and said to himself, " If this tie true, then I am a condemned sinner." He did. not trust to the hearsay statements of others, but went home to read and judge for hiui- s, elf. What was his fear on finding what had been Wal^ d fe be correct! What was his joy on . seeing- the way of sftlvatidn open to him! He had eagerly en- d'ea^ Voured to embrace it, and that individual was :. Uow, by Divine Providence, permitted to address • tbe'' Meeting,:' and to hear liis testimony to its bene- JjciaJ: effects.. ( Here the Noble Earl was greatly effected, and the statement was received with loud and continued" cheers.) He concluded by express- ing, in warm terms, his zeal for the welfare of the Society.— The motion was . carried unanimously. The Bishop of LICHFIELD AND COVENTRY ad- dressed the Meeting, and expressed his satisfaction at the rapid inarch of the Society. He concluded by moving the thanks of the Meeting to the President. — The motion was seconded by Lord BARHAM, who expressed his pleasure at. finding that ail sects we united as if to resist the invasion of infidelity, which now made ihe most dreadful assaults on the souls of therr brethren. — The. motion of thanks was carried unanimously. The President, Lord TEJGNMOUTH, returned thanks in an ab| p congratulatory speech. He said, when he considered the influence that the Society bai already attained, and the good it had already effected, he did not doubt that they should live to see the whole world benefitted by their exertions. The French Admiral Count VERHOILwas tnfro dnced from Ihe Parisian Bible Society. He addressed t, he meeting, and expressed iu elegant terms the thanks of the Society of which lie was a member, for tiie aid which they received from the Parent Iristi tnt'iou. He did uot donbi that all the Sovereigns and Princes of Europe would find it their interest to protect and aid tiie exertions of the Great Society and% il its auxiliaries. Lord BRXLEY moved the thanks of the Society to those Members of the Royal Family who had patronized the Society. He was highly delighted at finding himself surrounded by the Ambassadors in the Sacred cause from every part of the world.— The mot.| on was carried unanimously. The Rev". Dr. MORRISON was warmly received as the " first representative from China, and said that the difficulties in that immense country were great, but not ' insurmountable. The hearts of the Chinese vvefe hot harder than ours were. If the Bibie could afreet the heart of, and convert to the truth, a British Nobleman, it could equally aftVet the hearts of the Chinese. ( Hear, . hear, and cheers.) The Re> Vgentleman exhibited to tbe Society a copy of the Scriptures in the Chinese language, the com- ple. tion of which, he said, had occupied bin) 17 years. He. said it was already made the text- book in several ofVbe Chinese institutions, and there could be no doubt of its progress. He returned thanks from the t&. ffcgffr- Chinese 10 > he Society. C GKANT, Esq M. P. after a speech which elicited much, applause, moved a vote of thanks to the Vice- Presidents, which was carried unanimously.— The Meeting then separated. Mr. Oiubbe, author of an ingenious work on Physiognomy, was remarkable for his lively turn of mind and easy temper. The evening before his death his physician, feeling his pulse with much gravity, and observing that it beat more even than upon his last visit, " My dear friend," said he, " if you don't already know, or have not a techni cal exprcssion for it, I will tell you what it beats- it beats the dead march The townVo. fi Rfcckington sustained the loss, a few years ago, of. a singular old bachelor named Jessop, known for his eccentric habitof taking phy- sic, and who, upon a trial at Lincoln Assizes, in an action brought against him by bis medical attend- ant,, was stated. to have taken in twenty- five years no less a- number than 1,275,000 pills,— The same neighbourhood has lately lost another eccentric person,. Mr. Paikes, a grazier, of Little Hale, the sale of whose effects, a few days ago, afforded great amusement to a large company attracted by curiosity, arising from the whimsical medley an- nounced in the catalogue. The first lot was a quantity of plum cake and hair powder ;— to this succeeded an immense quantity of ladies' wash balls ; about 2 cwt. of sugar, done hp in halves and quarters of pounds, as Mr. Pa ikes had pur- hased them at different times for several years past,, and each packet inset ibed by him with the name of the grocer from whom it had been obtained !~ a lot of cheesecakes ; a sack of waL riuts ; a large cod- fish salted, and red herrings around it, nearly all dried away a quantity of pickles and preserves o£ Mr. P.' s own making: — ten dried pound cakes, that had been baked in moulds, and at some time no doubt had been verv good ;— a large lot of pepper, mustard, nitre, and sulphur;— a prodigious quantity, of meat oC all kinds, in a put rifled state :. as tbei; e were no bid- ders for thiSy it was buried^, together with mauy other articles, which composed the strangest melange ever perhaps collected, and in. quantity afforded abundant lots, with some furniture, for two days' sale. It had been the practice of the virtuoso to attend Grantham market regularly, for many years: he always set out with a pair of wallets for that emporium of the precious things which he coveted ; and he regularly returned'home with the wallets full of meat, wash balls, cakes, fish, sugar, and other bon- bons for his cabinet. It is due to him, however, lo . sav, that he was a man of the strictest rectitude of principle; and that although his hobby horse was rather an ex-* pensive one, he honourably paid for every thing he bought.—.*? itamford ' Mcrcury. Signal Interposition of Providence.— On Thursday evening, as a carriage with an immense steam- engine boiler, ten ions weight, was going along Choi I ton- street, Manchester, drawn by ten horses, the axle tree suddenly gave way, opposite to the Moulders' Arms public- house* when the ponderous mass fell against the wall of a coakyard with a dreadful crash, levelling the wall nearly with the ground. As is usual, the conveyance of such a large vessel was attended by a considerable con course of spectators, among whom were many children, and when the boiler fell there were several directly under it: providentially they all got out of the way except one, about five years old; and strange to relate, this child was taken alive from amongst the fragments of the wall, by the protection of a small portion of which its life was. saved : a few bi- ieks had preserved it from being literally crushed fiat, as it was directly under the boiler.— The little sufferer had apparently only a few bruises on the face; whether it is internally hurt, a little time will shew. Its mother was in a dreadful slate of fear and distress, and the whole neighbourhood was agitated by the accident. A woman of the name of Casely, aged 73, who has for several years been a pauper of the parjsh of St. Thomas's, near this city, died on Wednesday last ( 28th ult ) When on her death- bed, she in- formed the woman who attended her as nurse, that she had a concealed treasure of gold, silver, and bank- notes, amounting to between three and four hundred pounds, and actually erawled, on her hands and knees to show where it was hidden. Previously to her death, a relative, who had been informed of ihe circumstance, came and took possession of the hoard.— Kxeter Gazette. MANCHESTER SESSIONS, Friday— A cir- cumstance occurred to- day in Court which, for j few moments, caused considerable alarm and con fusion.— William Clarke was tried for stealing j wheelbarrow. There was nothing- in the Case of any particular public interest. After a short deliberation, the Jury found the prisoner guilt- y. The moment the verdict was pronounced, the pri soner, apparently in great agitation, threw a paper upon the table with one hand, and with the other took a knife from his pocket, and evidently at- tempted to cut his throat. Seve. al females in Court screamed violently on observing* his motions : some ofthe turnkeys and constables then in the dock rushed to him, and took the knife out of his hand, but not before he had made a slight incision in hi: throat; not, however, in the least daiig- erous.— After a short deliberation as to the sentence, the Chairman stated, that the prisoner had been twice before convicted of petty felonies. The - attempt whether real or pretended, which the prisoner hat now made, would not cause any difference with them in the sentence which they should pronounce If, however, it were real, he must observe, that few men could be in a more unprepared state to rush before THEIR MAKER than he was, having been now con victed for the th i rd t. i me of felon v. As to the sentence, thf- y had entertained some doubt whether that, of transportation should not be passed ; but as none of the robberies that he had committed had been attended with any degree of violence, they would not go to that extent, but would sen- tence him to twelve months* imprisonment.— W. e understand that this man took means to hang him- self about two months siuee, but was extricated from his perilous situation by the timely inter- position of the turnkeys, and restored by'the imme- diate medical exertions of Mr. OHier, the surgeon to the New Bailey. At Coventry Fair, on Monday week, there was au indifferent shew of fat beef; it averaged 5| d. per lb. Mutton, of which there was a pretty good supply, sold at from 5| d. to 6d. A great many horses, but few good ones ; the latter fetched very high prices. It was remarked, that there were more horse dealers at this fair than can be remem- bered on any former occasion. During the fair, a young unsuspecting countryman, who had sold eight sheep, tor which he received £ 15, was noticed by a respectable looking man, who witnessed the transaction, and kindly invited into an adjoining- public house, to partake of^ a glass of spirits, the day being very wet. To this proposal the country- man assented, and on entering the public house, the stranger enquired for a private room. After having sat a short, time, an elderly man, who had the appearance of a quaker, came in, and they all drank together. The old man then produced some bank- notes, and pretended to throw them about the room, declaring he did not want for money, as lie had just received property tothe amount of £ 700, which the other man confirmed, and at the same time stated that he would toss him up for a pound note, to which the other consented. The younger man won it, and insisted upon our honest country- man's sharing it with him ; he afterwards proposed tossing* with him for £ 20, requesting the credulous countryman to deposit the money, observing that there was no, risk oflosing^ and they might as well have the old man's money as any body else. The countryman, after some hesitation and further assurances that he should be no loser, put down his £ 15, to which the other added £ 5; they then tossed, and the old man winning*, he pocketed the cash, and soon after left the room, saying he should soon return ; the other remained about five minutes, and then requesting the countryman to wait a few minutes whilst he went to receive some cash, in order to repay him the money he had lost, followed his companion. The young man, after waiting some time in vaiii for their return, informed the landlord of his loss, but all efforts to discover the swindlers were fruitless. On Tuesday last, as a young man was trying bis luck at a gaming table at Lace by statute, he ob- served tiiat his opponent always deposited what he won in his right hand pocket, and paid what he lost from the left ; this conduct appeared singular to the youth, and he mentioned it to some friends, who, suspecting ttfe truth, caused the man to be apprehended, and taken before a Magistrate at Grimsby, when base coin amounting to upwards of £ 13 was found upon him. He was fully com- mitted for trial. At the Surrey Sessions, on Tueday, John Hen derson, indicted for sending a threatening letter to Mr. Bevan, one of the partners in the brewery of Messrs. Barclay and Co. for tbe purpose of ex- torting money, by accusing them of being large importers of opium, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment^ and to be kept to hard labour. A lamentable accident occurred on Saturday, at Roucharn,. near Befoi t, in France. The » ubier, ranean air of some coal mines suddenly took fire, with a dreadful noise, and in a moment alb the passages were choked up by the fallen earth. Twenty persons, amongst whom was the master of the mines, who entered a few minutes previous, to ihe explosion, were taken out dead. Four persons grievously wounded, were found,, but the exact number missing is unknown. A man and his wife, who had run to save their souKbecame victims of the disaster. MANCHESTER.— On Friday week a fatal acci- dent happened at Patricr- oft, by the bursting of a steam- engine boiler, at the factory of Messrs. , Rooth and Co. cotton- spinners.- The boiler was one of about ' thirty horse power, which had been condemned as unfit for. use ; a hew one was up, and would have been at wor k a week before the accident occurred, had not the plan of setting- up the flues failed. The immediate cause of the accident was the fastening down the junction valve, w. biph con- nected tiie boilev with the main- pipe, upou which- the safety- valve was placed ; and nothing can hatter prove the utility of a separate valve lo each boiler, besides the general blowing- off valve. The steam, at the time of fastening down the val ve, was low,' and a green tire under the boiler, but the time tie, eessary for the the job undertaken by the engineer exceeded his expectation, and the whole blew up with a tremendous and terrific explosion, at a quarter before six in the morning. Six men were blown tip with it— one killed, aud miother must dangerously scalded ; of the recovery, of the latter small hopes are entertained ; tbe others are now out of their rooms. The boiler rose as ( high as the third story of the factory, and alighted 56 feet from its original situation. One man, w ho is so far recovered as to walk about, was blown to the dis- tance of ninety feet, from the place where he stood. Probably he code upon the boiler, and was thrown some distanceheyonil it when it struck the ground. — The bricklayer who was killed was working at the new boiler near the firc-. pla. ce of the one blown up. He was found by dragging in the canal on the side opposite the explosion, covered with wounds. He was an excellent workman, and his loss is deeply regretted by his master and fellow workmen. The engineer escaped.— Manchester Guardian. The Rev. C. . Sumner, one of the Prebends of Worcester Cathedral, is engaged in the translation of Milton's Latin Work, recently discovered among some State Papers, and. which will be published ns soon as the requisite arrangements are completed. ANECDOTE.— The following anecdote was re- lated by Bishop Latimer, in a sermon preached before King Edward the Sixth. When an order ivas made by tbe Rinnan Catholic author ties in the reign of Queen Mary, that a " goodly rood," or image of Christ, should be placed in every parish church, the officers of Cockram parish, near Lancaster, agreed with a carver to furnish them with an image, or rood. But . the'workman, who proved to he a very indifferent artist, made them a figure so n<> ly aud hideous that the women and child ren, instead of being induced to attend the church by the beauty of the image, were frightened away. On this account thechurch wardens refused to pay the carver's bill. The carver, therefore, summoned ihe officers before the Mayor of Lan- caster, to enforce his demand. They accordingly attended, and when asked why they did not pay the bill, they replied that their agreement was for u goodly rood, and ibis was so frightful, that it did not answer the purpose. The Mayor ( who was suspected of being inclined to Protestantism) gave the following judgment j—" it does not signify whether the image serves for the purpose of worship or not; the poor man's labour has been nevertluv less ; he therefore must be paid; and if the image svill not serve ye for a god, only put a fail to it and a pair of horns, & it will make an excellent devil." At Dorset Quarlei Session, holdeli at Sherborne, a trial of a most extraordinary nature took place. It was that of a man named Nort hover and his wife. It appears that these people, who resided at Brid- port, were possessed of the strange idea, that an old woman there, named Elizabeth Parsons, was a, witch, and that she was the cause of their having lost six horses aud a fat pig! hi order to be rc, venged of this poor creature, ihey one night broke open the door of the house in which she lived, and beat : her violently w ith t heir fists, she .-. Having scarcely any clothes ou, cursing her for a witch, and asking her for their horses and pig ! Another female joined in assaulting the poor woman, whu in vain cried out for mercy, and declared her in- nocence. Not satisfied with this ill usage, they said they must get her blood ; and Northover took out of his pocket a clasp knife, and cut her in the face, breast, and arm, while his wife stood, with a candle in one hand, and beating her with the other- — Tlie. Chairman expressed his astonishment at the occurrence of such circumstances in this eulight, cued country, and sentenced Northover and his wife to one year's imprisonment.. Caution io Apprentices.— By an Art of Par- liament, which passed in the last Session (- 1 Geo, IV. c. 34), it is provided, that " when any appren- tice has been guilty of any misdemeanor, miscon- duct, or ill behaviour, or has absconded, it shaU be lawful for any Justice of the Peace to punish the offender by abating the whole or any part of his wages, or by commitment to the House of Cor- rection, there to remain, and lo be held to hard labour for a reasonable time, not exceeding three months." By the last General Turnpike Act, which ex- plains and amends the Act of the preceding year, all the interferences about the construction and shape of the wheels are set aside; and the only positive regulation under a penalty is, that the tire nails shall be so counter sunk as not fo project more than a quarter of an inch above any part of the surface of the lire. There is also a provision that no exemption under this or any other, Act, of any toll or part vof tolls, shall be allowed lo any wheels of a less breadth of sole than 4f inches, with certain exceptions as to carriages employed in hus- bandry work. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.— A case recently came on in which a horse- dealer had sold a horse to a gentleman for £ 140, warranting him sound.— After the purchase, the horse was worked rather hard, and ultimately fell suddenly lame; it was then discovered that he was fiat hoofed, and in consequence the dealer was requested to take .' him back, which he refused lo do, and the present action was brought. The Chief Justice observed thal'the defendant having iu general terms .' stipulated for soundness only, without regard to the natural defect in the hoofs, he was not answerable for the consequences of lameness arising from over- driv- ing- — The Jury being of the same, opinion, gave the defendant a verdict. T! e Bank of England h id a verdict against them, on Wednesday week. Sir Richard. Sutton sent a power of attorney to Mr. Macdougal to sell out £ 60,000 stock and upwards : the Bank doubted the authenticity of the power, but de- layed unnecessarily the means of proving such authenticity, and by the fall of the Funds in the meantime, Sir Richard lost on Ihe stock upward* of £ 239. The Jury, gave a verdict against the- Bank for that sum. COURT OF KING'S BKMCH, MAY 5.— As IHE Judges were retiring-, Mr. Edmund Lech me re Charlton, a gentleman of Herefordshire, addressed them. He complained of au attorney who had put an execution into his house, and wished to move that the Sheriff should be directed to retain the proceeds of the goods in his hands. He produced an affidavit, which he wished to read himself; but being- informed it was the proper eonrse to hand it to the officer, gave it to the clerk of the papers. The affidavit w^ as read.— The substantia! ground of complaint which it suggested was, that the at- torney^ who had brought iwi action for his taxed costs, and issued the execution, held certain deeds in his possession to which Mr. C. was entitled. But it also contained much other matter, respecting au influence exercised by the plaintiff in the suit in the disposition ofthe property of on, e of Mr. Charl- ton's relatives— The Court said they would do n v thing on an affidavit containing so much impertiuent matter, and that the money must be paid before they could interfere, Mr. Charlton replied, that the money was not his object, but possession o" th< j deeds : the money had been, or would he, directly paid.— The Court said, that if any deeds were retained to which he was entitled after payment of the sum due, they would, on a proper affidavit, make such order as the circumstances might re^ quire; but the affidavit must relate j^- that mutter, and that alone.— Courier. .- . » • FOR TBE SALOPIAN JOURNAL.

The Gold Coast and the Ashantees. The following, we believe, is an accurate account of the state of our Settlements ou the part of the African Coast, which has attracted attention in so melancholy a manner, previously to the disastrous issue of Sir Charles M'Carthy's expedition : — The Gold Coast extends from about;! degrees W. longitude to as many degrees E. and lii s. iu 5 or tj degrees N. latitude. In th,' year ltWMhe, African' Company ( which, under various modifications, had existed from the lime of King Charles II.). was abolished, and all its forts and possessions on llie Gold Coast were annexed to the colony of Sierra Leone, of which SirChas. M'Carthy was Governor. This arrangement was, no doubt, owing, in great measure, to the official reports'of the , late Sir ( jeo. Collier, who had it iu command from the Lords of the Admiralty to report the general stale and con- dition of the " Settlements mi the Western Coast or Africa. • . . The forts and settlements under, the A. fricap Company were eight, viz.— Cape Ci? ast Castle:, Aniiainaboe, Accra, Tautamquerry, IJixcove, Apol- lonia, Suceoiidee, Couimehda, and Prainpran; the whole While Establishment included only 45 per- sons ; the Black aud coloured people in the Com- pany's p-. ty were 451). Apollonia, tire western boundal- y of the Company's settlements, was a small and perfectly useless fort; Sir George recom- mended its abandonment. Dixcove, the next to the eastward, was belter situated ( particularly for supplying limber aud lime to C, ape. Coast Castle), and Sir George ' recommended it* being strength- ened. Succoiiflee and Coniuienda he considere. il to be useless. Nest to these came the Dutch fort of Eltnina, one of the very Strongest along tlie whole line of coast. Cape Coast Castle, the principal English station, lies to the eastward of Elniina, The fort had been for some time declining, but was afterwards strengthened. It had a. garrison of 100 negroes well trained and disciplined, aiid . officered hy the white servants of the Company. Sir George Collier recommended several additions to the de- fence of Ihe place. Annainaboe was the next British fort lipoh ihe Coast. It was of no great value iis a place of trade ; but Sir George advised its being retained, were it only to prevent its being occupied by other nations. The African Company paid a sort of relit or tribute, for Annamaboe to the Ashantee Chief,' who some years previously bad attacked lh. it fort, but vvas repulsed. Tantamqiierry was o. ily of utility as keeping open the communi- cation with Accra. Tiie last- mentioued settlement was divided into British Accra and Dutch Accra, the British flag flying at one end of the town, and the Dutch flag at the other. British Accra pos- sessed a fort second only to Cape Coast Castle, and a number of ihe Native'Chiefs were attached to and paid by tho English. The Dutch had no fort, but they, possessed great influence in the vicinity by , . encouraging the Slave Trade. Near to Accra was also a Danish settlement • called ChristjaaBurg. Prampran, tiie most easterly of the British settle- ments, was of small account. At some distance in the interior is situated the town of Comassie, the residence of Sai Tootoo Quamina, the Chief or King of the Ashantees. His dominions'are of great extent, the population considerable, and the depositions both of king anil people extremely prone to war. " The Aslfautce army," - savs Sir George Collier, <( is numerous beyond belief; and though quite au irregular mass, yet more than 60,000, can he collected, acquainted with Ihe use of tire- arms, ready to sacrifice their lives tothe nod or caprice of their chief or king, who is known to be savage & cruel in the extreme." In 1807 au Ash'aniee army reached the coast for the first time In the year 1811 they invaded the Fantee country near our establishment, aud again iu 18111. The African Company sent a mission in 1 17 ( of which the late Mr. Bowdich formed a put) to Comassie. The Ashantee King having asserted a claim of sovereignty over the Fantee country, that claim was a honied aud guaranteed on the part of England hv the British Consul, Mr. Dupuis, a me'asure which Sir George Collier deeply lamented. Thus slood the affairs of the G ild Coast in 1821., when all the British settlements there were added to the Colony of Sierra Leone, and placed unde'r the command of tbat most able and active Governor Sir Charles M'Carlhv. Sir. Charl. es shortly after- wards went thither iu person, aud has ever since been incessantly moving from one part of h| s Government to another, promoting improvements of all kinds, and personally directing- their execit tion. The new energy thus displayed hy the. Eng. lish on the Gold Coast imposed a salutary check on the savage chief of Ashantee; and at the same time held out to the neighbouring States a hope of protection against his oppressions. He was there- fore for some time qil^ t ; lint having seized ou a Negro Serjeant in our service anil put him to death, Sir 0. M'Carthy felt himself hound , to avenge the insult. A new Corns had heen formed ou the Gold Coast, under the title of the Roval African Light Infantry, and bad attained a high degree of disci- pline. A detachment of this Corps took the field under Capt. Laing, au officer peculiarly Well quali- fied for this service, inasmuch as he had a year or two before penetrated very, far into the interior on an exploratory mission fronf Sierra Leone. The tribes which had previously suffered from the tyranny of Sai Tootoo Quaiuina now seized the opportunity of shaking off his yoke, and many of them spontaneously swore allegiance to the Eng- lish government, la May last, all the districts on the'sea- coast west of Vo'. ia were in arms, to the amount of thirty thousand warriors ; whilst in the interior the inhabitants unanimously refused to pay the tributary. exactions. Captain Laing took the Fantee country under his especial care. Tlijs officer, in August. last, with a detachment of the 2d West Indiaregimenr, and a body of the Annamaboe militia, supported hy several native chiefs, totally defeated the ' Ashantees at Assecuina. On the lOtii of last November, Sir Charles M'Carthy arrived from Sierra Leone at Cape. Coast, where lie re- mained Oil the 13th of December, the date of the last Gold Coast Gazettes which have reached this country. At that time the Ashantees liad not ventured to approach the coast ; a camp bad been formed hy the British troops; and great numbers of the Native Chiefs had joined them, and sworn allegiance to the British government. According to the melancholy but unofficial state- ments received last week, tile Governor's force consisted off)') 1' soldiers in British pay, the privates, however, being all, or nearly all native Africans; a promiscuous crowd of volunteers, merchants, and others, probably not exceeding 100; ami about 4,000 Fantees, a people who maintain a constant war against the Ashantees. This force he separated into three divisions, and marched against the enemy. He came up with them with one division on the 21st of January, at a place called Sieoudee. The Ashanfees were fifteen thousand strong, and, jif the calculations of ihe different accounts he correct, Sir Charles's division could not have greatly ex- ceeded a tenth of that number ( though we admit one account speaks of the British force as equal to . a third of the Ashantees, but t, liis must relate to the whole British army). An engagment commenced at two o'clock, it was continued with great obsti- nacy until six, when the division of Sir Charles having exhausted all its ammunition, and finding itself surrounded, attempted a retreat, but unhap- pily without success— of 14 officers, one escaped. The Governor himself haying received two wounds fell into the hands of tl. eeueniy, and some of the wealthiest and most respected' merchants of the Colony ai'e named in the slain. If any thing can ailil deeper gloom to this melancholy intelli- gence, it is a suspicion that the British garrison and colonists - have been sacrificed by the treacher- ous rapacity pf some neighbouring European settlers, or ( for it is as well to speak out) that this war has been excited by the crooked policy of France and Spain. We know that, the check lo the slave trade, imposed by. the British settlement of Siena Umie, lias long been a source of discontent to these Powers ; and llie Ashantees appear, to have conducted the enU rprizc with a consolidation and a completeness of appointment which they could scarcely have obtained from native skill or native resources. It is no new. suspicion that it is the plandesliue slave trade which has produced and perpetuated the hostility between the Ashautecs and the British settlers oil the Gold Coast " Whilst one slave, ship ( says Mr. Bowdich) is allowed to visit this coast, the great convenience and the great profits of the',' trade will recur, and he perpetuated among the Ashantees; they will linger in the. hope of'its entire renewal, and view the English invidiously as the enemies to what they conceive to he their only natural commerce."— " One thousand . slaves," ' lie observes, " left Ash- antee for two Spanish schooners, or Americans under that flag, to our knowledge, during. our ren- dezvous there." Mr. Meredith, in his account of the Gold Coast, gives the following particulars of the hostile re- lations that have subsisted hitherto between our garrison and these savages : — "' Mr. White ( says Mr. Meredith) and the inhabit-' taitts of the town ( of Aunaniaboe) were ignorant as • 10. the strength of the • Astatntee forces, and had but an imperfect idea of the bravery and intre- pidity of tiie men who composed the King's army, it was supposed that the Ashantees partook of the dispositions : of the natives, oa the coast, who, in general cannot . Stand, against!!) regular and . deter- mined fire, aud often creep into some concealed hole, when cannon or musket shot, aie heard to dress, with his beard nearly a foot in length. There vvas, however, some little jealousy amongst them, which was removed by a present or two, well applied; anil the King of Benin's messenger was to accompany Mr. B. with the King's cane and as many meii'a* were considered necessary for a guard, and baggage carriers. The King's name is respected as far as Houssa, and he has a messen- ger, or ambassador, stationary there. Oil Mr. K.' s arrival at Houssa, he was to leave his guard there, and proceed to Timbuctoo, ihe King not guaranteeing his safety farther than Houssa, and Tinibuctoo not being known at Benin. On his return to Houssa, lie would make the necessary preparations for going down the Niger, and dis- patch his messenger and guard back with letters to his agents and lo Mr. John Houtson. The messen- ger to be rewarded according to the account the letters gave of his behaviour, and the King to receive a valuable staled present. This was the plan, and I think it would have proved fortunate had Mr. B. lived." HOLYHEAD ROAD. Extracts firm the Report of Mr. W. A. PROVIS to the Commissioners, on the State'of the Shrewsbury ami Holyhead Road, dated 1st March, 1824. whiz among them ; or if, the Ashantees were su- perior, it, was little imagined that their courage or ardour for'conquest would carry them to tlie very muzzles of the guns, and consequently expose them to. inevitable destruction. . . . . .

The walls being high and accurately flanked, and the gates' sound and well barrieadoed, the Governor, from tiie nature of bis wonndsy from great debility in, consequence of much effusion of blood, being constrained to retire, and the command: of the fort having- devolved on , the senior o$ cer, who, pe oeiying that the cannon in one quarter could not be used vvith effect, for . the enemy fired, with such pre- cision as" to cut off every man who was exposed at an einbFasure,/ depended solely on the musket; and another man having been killed about noon, and two more wounded, the garrison vvas now reduced to the number of eight, including officers, who could be depended upon,^ aii41 the Arfhautfees-. were . using- every effort to force . the ? vviestern gatey but vvere tw'ice repnlsed, Avitb- no , smal. l. loss.; . . . The contest was continued until sixo'clock. AfteV this cessation, and before . total. darkness-., cameon, the garrison use/ I all possible energy in repairing injuries, and preparing for the defensive, iu ease of hostilities being renewed in theunight. On the following day a scene replete with the horrors'of war exhibited itself; heaps of dead and wounded around the walls,, and for a mile along the eastern shore, tossed about by a violent surf; houses un roofed, aud others on fire; the sorrowful counte- nances of the old men who sought refuge in the fort ; the mournful ' lamentations of the women, and the pitiable cries of the children, presented a picture of exquisite feeling* and of the greatest distress'! Of the number the town contained.; and which we will calculate to have been at. least fifteen tho'usaufl souls, we may suppose that two- thirds of that num- ber, perished. . . ... Without going into farther inquiry, we may venture to state that eight thousand Fantees were destroyed ; and although they were attacked by at least th ree tlimes; that ii umber, yet if they w'ere actuated by one- third- of the bravery of their opponents, they would have committed some execution, and doubtless would have checked that intrepidity and ardour which rvvere so pre- eminently conspicuous in their enemy. t'„ . .; . When the fury oi'the, Ashantees against, the Fantees was a little diminished, they turned part of their force against the fort with threat- cool- ness and resolution, advancing with shouts expres- sive of their loyalty and' courage to the very muzzles of the guns. At the? east. side of the fort, two. three- pounders, which were, well served, destroyed numbers of them with. every discharge of grape; but at the west; side, the cannon which flanked the gate could not be rendered useful, in consequence of advantages the . enemy possessed, and which were, not, to be found on the opposite quarter, where the musket, alone was to be depend- ed upon ; and we have the authority of the gen- tleman who commanded ( after Mr. White was wounded) for stating. that he and another officer ( Mr. Swanzy) fired nearly three hundred rounds of ball cartridge in keeping the gate clear, aiid protecting those who, were: under the walls. . . . .. . What loss, • the Ashantees sustained cannot be precisely laid down ; the. King, prior, to his departure from Aunamaboe, said he lost 3000 men," , : -...•': < < , • i. hi • < -.••> :• • - .. The. garrison was relieved, and peace was con- cluded,; but. the Ashantees invaded Fantee again in 1811 and in 1816. ... " Famines," says Mr. Bowdich, " unmitig- ated by labour, succeeded the vyide waste ofthe Fantee territory; the wretched remnant ofthe population, abandoning itself to despair, arid the prolonged blockade of Cape Coast Castle in the last invasion, engendered so much distress and hazard, that the Government, having averted imminent danger by ad vancing a large sum . of gold ou account ofthe Fantees, earnestly desired the Committee to au- thorise and enable them t° venture aii embassy, to deprecate these repeated calamities, to conciliate so powerful a Monarch, and to propitiate, an exten- sion of commerce." M. BELZONT.— The melancholy intelligence of the death of M. Belzoni was announced in. our last Journal. The following extracts of a letter from a gentleman on board the brig Castor, at British Accra, dated Jan. 7, 1824, and addressed to. Mr, A. Hodgson, of Liverpool, will furnish our readers with the particulars of the death of this enterprising traveller ':-— " I wrote you some time since, almost at a ven- ture,- mentioning the arrival in Benin River Of Mr. G. Belzoni, the celebrated traveller, who was attempting, to reach Houssa and TimbuCtoo, by walr of Benin'. I am sorry; to inform you that, like all others who ha ve made this trial, he has perished. He died at Gato, on the 3d . of December, 1823. "• He had been a considerable time a very wel- come" guest on board this brig, waiting for the time a Mr. J. Houtson could accompany him to Benin, whose iiitere& t, with the King of that place he considered would be serviceable to him. On the night of the 24th of November lie left us, with Mr. Houtson, for Gato. On parting with us beseemed a little ag'itated, particularly when the crew, to each of whom he had made a present, gave him three loud cheers on leaving the. vessel. i GOD bless you, my fine fellows, and send you a happy, sight of your country and friends,' was his answer. On the 3d of December \ received a letter from Mr. Houtson, requesting me to come to Benin, as Mr. B. was lying dangerously ill, and, in case of death, wishing- a second person to be present. I was pre- vented going, not only by business, but a . severe - fever which bad then hold of me. On the 5th I had a second letter from Mr. H. wilh the particulars ; of Mr. B.' s end, and illegible, dated Dec in. tiie disposal of his one from himself, almost 2, requesting me to assist ects, and to remit the pro- ceeds home to his agents,. Messrs. Briggs, Bro- thers, and Co. America- square, Londou, together with a beautiful amethyst ring he wore, which he seemed particularly anxious should be delivered to his wife, with the assurance he died in the fullest affection for her, as he found himself too weak to write his last wishes and adieus;' He was interred at Gato, next day, with all the respect possible. " At the time of Mr. Beizoni's death, Mr. Hontson had every thing arranged with the King of Benin for his departure, and had his health continue^ there is no doubt he would have succeeded. Mr. B. passed at Benin as an . inhabitant, or rather native of the interior, who had come to England when a youth, and was now trying*. to return to his country. The King and Emeg- rauds ( or nobles) gave credit to this, Mui B. being iu a Moorish When I laid my last Report before yon there were many improvements which I expected to have been able to carry into effect during the succeeding sum- mer, but the Commissioners having- thought proper at their next meeting to lower the tolls upon coach and post horses, the Revenue was consequently lessened, and my expectations in part frustrated; much, however, has been done, and with steady perseverance in the plan we are. acting upon the Roml w ill eventually he perfected. A severer season for Roads than the w hole of 1823 is perhaps not remembered. The intense and loiig continued frost of the early part of that year, and the jen- e r'd 1 wetness'-' o f t h e sii m mer a n d a u tii mo, we re sufficient tests for Roads made on the best principle and wherethfiroriginal construction was bad, p, r from other, cause's'the Road had become weak, it was either broken through or kept in repair at a great additional expense. Putting- ori stories and scraping off dirt has been the constant employment on the Old por tions of Road, and the greatest care could/ not pre- serve them from the grinding effects/ of- heavy car- riages in such a season. , HOLYHEAD TO BANGOR FERRY.— 21| MILKS. The great enrbankment ' across the Stanley Sands having'been completed during the last summer, that portion of new road w hich extends from Holyhead across the embank merit was opened tothe Public, by which'*! sav- fng1 of nearly two miles in distance was e- ffeetedy and all the daligerpus pitches'of the old line avoidedwA new toll- house and gates Were erected at the west- end ofthe Stanley embankment, and the whole transferred hy the- Commissioners under . the Ac* of 55tli Geo. 111, e. 152, to those under the; Act of the 59th Geo. III. c. 30. As a matter of course this new piece lias been rather heavy through the winter. The mass of new mate- rials will now, however, begin to consolidate, and when tbe Road shall have settled completely it will beas'good as the rest: The remaining 18 miles tb Bangor Ferry have stood the winter well,' and are every day becoming harder and sounder. The only parts which have been at all bad are where the - sides- had been made over clay, and which from the flatness of the adjacent . o- raunds eo- nid not be perfectly drained: A considerable ex- tent of these sides has been cut out, and made up with broken stones, and the remaining portions arte ' in progress. A branch Road to Bodederri, and a new toll- house at Gwalcbmai have also been made by the Com- missioners under the 4th Geo. I Wand both have been made over to your care. BANGOR FERRY TO CTERNTOGE.— 32 MILES. From Bangv> r Ferry to the . S, W. end ofthe city, the Road remains in the same state as when I last re- ported to. yon. Through Bangor, a considerable improvement has beeu effected by the Commissioners under the 4th Geo. I V. The street pavement, which the parish had suffered to become a complete ruin, has all been removed, and re- placed with a good coating of small broken stones: the sides have been, as far as practicable, brought to a proper shape, and protected by cnrb- stories and paved channels; covered cross and longitudinal drains have also been constructed, and the whole made, as respectable as it can be at any moderate ex; pen. se. From Bangor to Pen- y-. eareg ( i mile N. W. of Tyn- y maes), the Road remains as bef( » re, excepting- that the clayey sides of each ascent from the riyer Cegi. ii have been removed, and re- placed, by broken stones. From Pen- y- carreg, past Tyn- y- maesto Ty Gwyn, a distance of a mile and quarter, the old Road's sur- face had been generally brought into a good state by the Repair Commissioners; but the fencing being imperfect, the breadth insufficient, and in one phice a rapid descent, the Commissioners under the 4th Geo. I V. have entered into a contract for completing its improvement, and the work is now far advanced. From Ty Gwyu to'dpp'usite Capel Cerig, the new- Road remains in good order. The imperfect Road which extended from Capel Cerig to Pont~ y- cyfyn, is now under improvement by the Commissioners of the 4th Geo IV. and there is reason to believe it will be completed in about two months The new Road from Pont- y- cyfyn to the bottom of the hill west of Bett. ws- y- coed, is in excellent order, and the piece of old Road from thence to Ileiidre- Rh ys- Get heft, is i n good surfat § e repair„ _ The river Llugwy having cut away its southern shore at Hendie- Rbys- Gethen, close to where the Commissioners under the 4th Geo. IV. built a bridge over a smalI tributary stream, the bank westward of the bridge has been protected by a breastwall ; aiid when. a similar wall shall have heeii built to the e^ st ward of ihe bridge it will be quite secure from floods. A short piece of new Road has been made by the Commissioners under the 4th Geo. IV. which com- pletes the Road to Bettws- y- Coed, and the whole is now in a proper state. • From Bettws y- Coed to Cernioge, the Road, excepting two portions at the Denbighshire Bridges, is in the same state as when i last reported. The only change in the Roadways over the County Bridges is, that from desperately bad, they have become absolutely dangerous. The County Sur- veyor ( Mr. Penson) has, however, agreed to contract with me for the repairs, if I ciCn prove that the County is liable; I have therefore collet: ed such evidence as perfectly satisfies my own mind of the liability of the County, and as, I trust, will also satisfy him. I have already to thank Mr. Pen- son' exertions for having placed under the care of the Repair Commissioners the Roadways over tbe. Bridg;< at the bottom of Rhysgog Hill, at Llangollen, and the Denbighshire half of tliat at Chirk. . A retaining wall has been built at the top of Dinas Hill, and the descent to Rhydllanfair Bridge protected by stone walls.- CF. RNIOGE TO CHIRK. From Cernioge to a little S. E. of Cerr^- v druklion, the Road remains nearly in the same state as last year; some of the soft sides along' the Bog have been cut out, and replaced with quarry rubbish, and all the working surface has been maintained in good order. Between the new piece near Cerig- y- druidion and that commencing at Hendre-' r- ddwyfaen, the Road is improving- under the, Commissioners of 4th Geo. IV. and in the course . of three months will be completed. The Road between the two bridge? over the River Geirw is in the usual state of repair, the Commis- sioners of 4th Geo. IV. have commenced rebuilding the fences in mortar, and will complete them in the course ofthe summer. All the old Road from hence to Glyn Dyffws has been improved by the last- mentioned Commissioners, by widening, where too narrow, cutting down banks, raising hollows, new fencing*^ draining, and in part metalling-. All that remains to be done is to set the coping of the fence- walls, which will be completed as soon as weather will permit. From Glyn Dyffws to below Maesmawr the Road has been maintained in a g- ood state. From below Maesmawr to the N. W. end of the From Rug Bridge to Corwen, the surface has. been kept in good: order, but nothing done in the vyay of effectual improvement'. More would have been accomplished, had it been certain whether the Commissioners under the 4th Geo. IV. would alter the line below Rug. The county has finished rebuilding Corwen Bridge, with the exception of the parapet coping. At the east end of Corwen Bridge a new piece of Road has been contracted for by the Commissioners under the 4th Geo. IV. and will he completed, in the course of tiie ensuing summer. Through Corwen, and from thence to Llangollen, tbe Road's surface remains the same as when I last reported. Stone walls, however-, have been built along part of the lands of the Rev. Edward Beans, in lieu of the ragged old hedge; by which the road has been made more safe and respectable ; Mr. Beans paid half the expense. The 100 yards of Road at Llang- ollen Bridg^ have been repaired, Tlie hill, east of Llangollen, remains as before, but 1 hope when I shalJ uext report to you, to state that a new Road has been made, and the hill avoided. The two miles of oid Road, S. E. of the hill just mentioned,, have been widened and fenced by the Commissioners under the Act of 4th Geo. IV. Opposite Poni- y- Cysyllte a variation has been commenced by the Commissioners of the 4th Geo. IV. by which the summit of the -. hill will be avoided, and a nearly level Road obtained. From the end of the variation to Chirk Bridge the whole of the Road h^ s been maintained in good order." , ' • • • The lower part of each slope of Chirk embank- ment has been planted w ith trees ; these in a few years will be. both useful and ornamental, without injuring the Road, CHIRK TO SHREWSBURY.— 23 MILES. From Chirk Bridge to Gobowen but little has been done during the last year, in consequence of a new Road having been commenced by ibe Commissioners under, the Act of 4th Geo. IV. ,- This, in all pro- bability, w: ill be completed and opened to the public before Midsummer next. > The : aseent from; Chirk Bridge to - the Canal will be only X in 24 wheii steepest, and above that level the whole will he as fiat as could be wished. Nearly allthe sides between Gobowen and Oswestry have been lowered, and the cross section brought to a proper shape ; the surface has been considerably strengthened. by putting on broken field stones, and is now in pretty good order. Nearly the whole, however, is crooked and narrow, and for a quarter of a mile, near . Gobowen, subject to be flooded. From Oswestry to the Gallows Tree Bank the surface ik not so good as it should be, but stones are now breaking'to give U a. substantial coating. A question having arisen, whether we were acting l; ega| ly in demanding. Toll at. tbe sidergate across the Knockiu Road, the party who considered w, e were not jjistifre'd in demanding it h » • oke down the gate in order to bring the matter to issue; the Magistrate Who heard the case decided that we bad a right to take the Toll, and fined the party w ho broke down the gate; an appeal vvas then made to the Court of Quarter Session, whe. n the decision of the Magistrate was confirmed, A new gate has since been erected. From the GallowsTr. ee Bank to the Queen's Head, the greater part ofthe rough Road has been stocked up ; the stones been broken and laid down again in a proper shape'; the- sides have generally been lowered where requisite, and a footpath formed ^ liere there was sufficient breadth. The surface is now- in tolerable order. From- the Queen's Head to Great Ness Hill, con- siderable improvement has been made on the surface of the Road; most of the rough places have been stocked up and broken, and the whole considerably strengthened. A new bed of gravel having been discovered near Knock'in Heath, we shall in future have less trouble in procuring materials for the re- pairs of that part of the road. It consists principally of large stones, in quality very little inferior tot hose at Shelton Pit, and much better than are produced at any other gravel pitori the: Road. A considerably quantity has already been dug, and part of it broken Great Ness Hill remains as w hen I last reported. It would have been finished, as proposed in my last year's, estimate, had not the Commissioners reduced the Tolls through Wales, and consequently put it out of mv power. It is again included in my annual estimate, and I trust no further reduction of our revenue will be proposed till this improvement is completed. The next two miles have heen strengthened with additional materials; some rough places have been stocked up and broken, and the surface is in a fair state. The mile N. W, of Montford Bridge being on a clay bottom has been much injured by continued wet weather. The gravel of the neighbourhood is very scarce, and of bad quality, so much so that a coating put on, one Week is sometimes all ground to dirt, and all scraped off again the next. I am endeavouring to make arrangements for some better materials, though I believe they will be expensive Montford Hill remains a disgrace to the Road, and it is beyiond the reach of our present funds much to improve it. A. complete new Road ought to be made From the S. E. side of Montford Hill to near Shelton, the Road has suffered from the late rains, and it has unluckily happened that the same cause brought down an immense mass of earth upon the bed of gravel in Shelton Pit, which for some time has pre vented our getting any materials for its repair. We have now cleared away the earth, and if no other slip happens shall soon have a large stock of gravel and siones. Froin a little north of Shelton to near the Monk Eye Prill improvement, the Road is so bad in every TUESDAY. - ' His Majesty's Plate of lOOgs. Mr. Clifton's br.- h. Adroit .\\ V.

A bank has been cut down north of Monk Eye PrVll improvement, and the high, footpath reduced to its proper level.

The Agent, 3 yrS HORSE STEALING.— On Thursday night, somt villains broke into the stable o( Mr. Joseph Weaver, Of the Union Farm, near Worcester, and stole there- out a very excellent mare, worth upwards of £ 40, and also a good bridle and saddle, leaving in their place an old pony, which, frorii its exhausted state, had evidently been rode a considerable distance.— Same night a much prized and useful brown mare pony, with its saddle and bridle, belonging to the Rev. R. George, Was taken from the stable at ihe residence of that gentleman, at Red Hill, Worces- tershire. A robbery was committed in this town on Mon- day last, by a female, w hich for daring and amount surpasses any thing of the kind which has been known here for many years past. Elizabeth GibsovfI who had heen living in the capacity'of house keeper t<> Mr. Sherwin, of the Humberstone- gate, for three mouths, availing herself ' of her master's absence from home on Mdftdfty afternoon, ransacked his premises of every thing |> oi table anil valuable which met her view, and then decamped with the booty, which consisted of 4* 40 in Bank jof England Notes, seventeen sovereigns and a half iu gold, a small toi toiseshell trinket box, in which were several gold rings and other jewellery aVticles, a number of silk aiid other handkerchiefs, stock- ings^ a straw bonnet, & c. It seems that, having collected tbe articles together, she tied most of them up in a bundle^ and procuring a chaise from the Bell, as a stranger just come into the town, drove off for Hinckley. Here she slopped for a short time, aud purchased two scarfs, for which! she gaVe £ 5; six silk handkerchiefs, & c. altogether amount- ing to more than £ 7; after which she took another chaise, and went on for Coventry, where she also made some stay, and then set out for Wolver- hampton, where she arrived very early the next morning; all further trace of her was then lost. Among the articles stolen from Mr. Sherwin, was a voucher for £ 200 belonging to a Leicester bank, of no use to her, which she offered in payment at Hinckley, and which, it is hoped, may lead to her detection. As there can be, little doubt but that she is well versed in such transactions as we have described above^ it may not be amisS to give some description of the depredator. She is about 35 years of age, of the middle Stature ; has grey eves, a round face marked with the small pox* and a large scar on the back of one of her hands ; has travelled in France with a family, and says she lived at Newport Paguell in September last.—- Leicester Chronicle. THE EXES.— A professional gentleman who has lately written a treatise entitled the " Art of pre- serving the Sight,'" relates the following fact, in order to show the danger attending compression of the eyes :—- I was Called ii), sotifie years ago, to the case of a strong man, who h< id always enjoyed a most excellent sight, until a short time previous,, when he had become totally blind from the following incident. One day^" hehappened to be engaged with, a party of friends," when some person entered the room without his noticing it, who ran familiarly to cover his eyes with his two hands, desiring him to guess who it was that blinded him. Either unable, or perhaps not choosing to guess the person's name, he endeavoured to disengage himself from his hands; but the stronger effort he made for. that purpose, the more forcibly did the other press his hands upon his eyes, and this so long, and with such deadly effect, that the unfortunate man, when, permitted to open his eyes, found himself totally blind, although there was no apparent hurt done to the organ. BELL RINGING.— A new peal of eight bells was opened at Cheltenham, on Monday week, by the PainsHvick Youths, who ascended the steeple about eight o'clock, and finely brought round, in three hours and 57 minutes, a new and complete peal of Treble Bob Major, consisting of 5856 changes, being the same number of changes as there are hours in the first eight months of the leap year, having the treble ori lead as many times at hand and back- slr. oke as there are days and nights in the leap year, and having the sixth bell twenty-, fobr' times wrong and twenty four times right. The above peal was composed and conducted by Mr. Wm. EStcourt, being the first peal of Treble Bob ever rung in that style of composition. The Pope has made an additional grant of 24,000 dollars annually to the Congregation de propaganda fide, for the special purpose of encouraging the progress of the Catholic religion in the Uuited Stales of America.
