THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA; OR, PHCENIX OF LIFE, And Grand lieanimator of Nature: Prepared and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, at Dr. LAMERT's London Medical Establishment, Queen- square, Bristol. INTRODUCTION. DR. LAMEKT, in recommending; the celebrated Cordial Balm of Zura; or, Phoenix of Life, to a discriminating Public, disdains the Idea of following the Steps of those Precursors, who, by a vain Display of a little Learning, and a great deal of Ingenuity, mislead the Public; a Trnih tqo'frequently exemplified by Pretenders to Science in the present Day. Actuated by a spirit of genuine Philanthropy, he feels it his highest Gratification to announce, that in the Balm of Zura, or Phcenix of Life, he possesses the means of alleviating, and by due Perseverance, « f completely annihilating those insidious Disorders, which not only deprive Life of its every Enjoyment, but sap the very Foundation of our Existence, and involve the Patient in a Vortex of premature, but unavoidable Destruction. Governed solely by such Motives, so humane, genuine, and disinterested, Dr. L, cannot but ensure the Gratitude of the afflicted, the Approbation of the good, and the sincere Benediction of Mankind. On that Assurance lie takes his stand, and invites the Suffering to come and be healed. ITS VIRTUES. " Like one condemn'd to leap a precipice, And sees before his eyes the depths below, 41 Stops short, and looks about for one kind shrub " To hreak his dreadful fall ; so I look here " For friendly aid against the fears of death." The CORDIAL BALM OF ZHRA, or Phoenix of Life, forms . the most powerful, stimulating, and highly flavoured Medicine in the whole Materia Medica. It is prepared from an Asiatic Berry, strongly resemb- ling tliat of the English Whitethorn ; and was the Result of the Labours of the renowned Rerkhert Dodoeus, Physician lo the Turkish Emperor and his Harem. Iii 1578, a most splendid Case of this in- valuable Cordial was sent by the SuHitft to Queen Elizabeth, and was takeiiby her Majesty as a noble Renovator of the whole System. It has been found by a most extensive and respectable private Practice, to be the most efficacious Medicine extant, for strengthening the Nerves, removing all Obstructions in the Stomach and Lungs,, cherishing the Heart, reviving the Spirits, strengthening the Memory, promoting Digestion, dispelling Flatulencies, dis- persing the Heartburn and Choleric Affections, pre- vents Apoplexy, purifies the Blood, removes Scorbutic Eruptions as well as Scrofula, and is of the highest. Distinction in Gouty and Rheumatic Disorders, It vivifies the Spinal Marrow, and. restores the Frame to Health and pristine Vigour. NERVOUS DISORDERS. In the tremendous catalogue of Diseases incidental to Mankind, those of the Nervous Description are lite most complicate and difficult to cure. They resemble almost every Disease, and scarcely two Persons are affected in a similar Mariner; they are continually changing their Action, Shape, and Con- dition, while, under every fresh Attack, the Patient feels some Symptoms lie never before experienced. Th; is the Mind often becomes a Prey to the most fatal Apprehensions, while the diseased Imagination gorges those wild Chimeras, which perpetually haunt arid distress the Brain. u The Sun as it were goes down on the Heart, and the Shadows of the Evening close in on the Soul!" Such are the sad Thoughts and distressing Feelings which agitate that real Object of Commiseration, a Nervous Patient. To such, what a Treasure will he found in the Cordial Balm 6f Zura ; or, Phcenix of Life ! The vital Prin- ciple, under its divine Operation, like the fabled Phoenix, springs from the Embers of a decayed Con- stitution, and rises to Happiness and Lifej Reani- mated. Renovated, and Etherealised. GENERAL SYMPTOMS. The. Symptoins which precede, accompany, and follow this distressing Complaint, are very numerous. The following are the most prominent:— Great De- pression of Spirits, Timidity, Starlings, fyielancholy, Fickleness of Temper., Restlessness, Anxiety, and a painful Presentiment of Death. With its Increase, frequent Attacks of the Cramp, Head Ache, settled Pains iu different Parts of ihe Body,, the Eyes are clouded, a continual Ringing in the Ears, Dullness of Hearing, alternate Chills and Flushes, of Heat, Weariness, Nausea, Loss of the Appetite, Decay of Strength, Burning Heat in the Palms of the Hands and Soles of the Feet, a Sensation like that of cold Water running down the Back, the Pulse quick, weak, and irregular, parched Tongue, violent Pal- pitations of ihe Heart, Difficulty of Breathing-, and Convulsions. It is not difficult to point out the Means of relieving the Patient, but none, have ever proved so powerful, so efficacious, as the Cordial Balm of Zura; or, Phccnix of Life : us a Restorer of Strengt h to internal Decay, it stands unequalled, nnd may be relied on in producing immediate Relief in every Stage of Nervous Complaints. The immense Numbers re- stored to the full Blessings of Health within the last eighteen Months, from the very Confines of the < 3rave, will best vouch for its surprising Qualifies, and a single Trial urge more in its Behalf, than all the Powets of Rhetoric combined ! FEMALE COMPLAINTS. The nutritive and cleansing Powers of the Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, are peculiarly adapted to the Delicacy of the Female Habit and Constitution, under those necessary Operations, designed by the Great Creator, for tiie Preservation of Health, the Continuation of the Human Species, and the Felicity of Domestic Existence. It removes those Obstruc- tions, which too often nip in the Bud the Promise of the future Blossom. It promotes the Secretions, and preserves the Course of Nature from Impediment; comforts, exhilarates, and supports in those import- ant and peculiar Periods, Puberty, Maturity, and the Change of Life : for the want of " which., many of those lovely, interesting, and valuable Ornaments of Creation sink into an untimely Grave. The most sovereign Remedy yet found, is in the exalted and inestimable Virtues of tlie Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life; the greatest Restorative of ex- hausted Nature; by a due Perseverance in which, the whole Muscular Fibres become invigorated, all the Solids which were relaxed, are braced, every Office of Nature is properly performed. Seize then the Opportunity which offers, for the Cordial Balm of Zuia, or Phcenix of Life, possesses Powers which tdiiiost exceed Credibility, in restoring languid Na- ture. and invigorating the whole Constitution. COLD BATHING. Nothing is more conducive to Health than the . frequent Use of the Cold Bath, when uot taken to Excess ; a single Immersion will answer every Pur- pose ; for remaining i< jo long ih the Water is very injurious. Judiciously pursued, it braces the Fibres, and in eVery Period of Life gives Tone and Vigour to the Body, it enables the vital Organs to perform iheir Functions, it hardens the Frame against Cold', ' Damp, and changeable Weather, and restrains ex- cessive Perspirations. Sea Water, fpr stimulating, cleansing, and bracing the Nerves, is far preferable . to River Water for any Debility. To prevent any ill Sensation after Bathing, such as Trembling, Pain in tbe Stomach, Cramp, Giddiness, or Head- Ache, take a Table- spoonful of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Pliconix of Life, Half an Hour before Bathing, which will comfort the Intestines, throw a warni Glow over tlie whole Frame, and create an excellent Appetite with a good Digestion. The CORPIAL BALM OF ZURA is prepared only hv the sole Proprietor, Dr. LAMERT, and Sold, Whole- sale and Retail, at his House, No. 54, Queen- square, Bristol; also, by W. EDDOWES, Shrewsbury ; and by the principal Medicine Venders in this and the surrounding Counties. In Bottles at 4s. 6d.; lis.: and £. 1: One lis. Bottle contains three at 4s. 6d. and that at a Pound six Times as much, whereby is a Saving of seven Shillings, Duty included. Beware of Impositions, as none are genuine but where the sole Proprietor's Name is blown on the Bottle; with the Initial of the Doctor's Name on the Cork, enveloped in the Asiatic Arms and Directions. PORTUGAL.— The intelligence from Lisbon, brought by the Magnet packet, is of considerable interest. The crisis is over, and the King has resumed the full exercise of his authority. He landed on the 15th of May amid the acclamationi of his subjects, anc^ great rejoicings took place in consequence. Don Miguel had taken bis depar- ture in tbe Perola, a Portuguese frigate, on the 14th, for Brest. The Perola was accompanied by the English frigate Lively, Captain Elliot, and the French brig Zebra. His Royal Highness will travel under the title of Duke of Bcja, and he is attended by his Chamberlain, tbe Conde de Rio Major. Nothing is said respecting the Queeu ft the Gazette,. but private letters mention that sl: e had hitherto evaded, under the pretext of illness, compliance with tbe orders for her retirement to the Convent of Estrella.— rThe King, on his birth- day, distributed various honours and rewards to those individuals who had supported his cause ( luring the late events. All the Foreign Ambassa- dors have received marks of Royal favour, but especially the English Minister, Sir Edward Thorn- ton, who, besides having a Portuguese title, gets also a domain of the crown for three lives. Captain Dashwood, the Commander of the Windsor Castle, is made Grand Cross of the Tower and Sword, with the insignia in . diamonds. Other English officers are also distinguished hy bis Majesty; and five hundred dollars were ordered to be distributed among the crews of the Windsor Castle, and the Lively. [ If the present importance to this country of the affairs of the Continent is to be appreciated by tbe interest of the Continental news ( aud this is, perhaps, as just a standard as any) we seem to be fast ap- proaching to that state of insular independence which our best patriots, in all ages, have cherished as their " fair ideal" of a sound English policy. Nothing, indeed, can he more flat and uninterest- ing to Us than the details of the internal proceedings of our neighbouring states : though some of these proceedings are of the most momentous interest to j the parlies immediately concerned. The revolution, or family rebellion, in the palaceW our uiosi ancient and faithful allies, scarcely; ruffles the dead calm of ; British political feeling. The conjuncture which exhibits such an apathy to the fates of neighbouring dynasties and nations, is certainly not one of alarm or despair. We must look for its attributes in otlier au< i very different habit's* of rthle mind. A well grounded'assurance of security against any injury from foreigners, and a high degree I of* Contentment with 6ur internal condition, are I doubtless, in the first place, favourable tothe growth J of such feelings as we have described J but there are I other influences of equal power at work tending to J the same results. The name Europe, which had I so long bounded the speculations of Politicians, has J gradually lost its importance by the extension of the J great society of mankind ; and the new relations I which we have formed with nations rising in every j region of the world,'" havedivided- the attention which ] used to he all bestowed upon this one quartet- of it, I Mexico is now at least as interesting to us'as Swe- I den ; and the affairs of the Brazils have fairly dis- J placed those of any second rate, perhaps of any first j rate, Power pf Europei j We have been led into these reflections by- cousi- I dering- the miserably inadequate supply of foreign I news which we have lately been able to provide lor I our readers.— London Packet.'] AND ENTERED UPON IMMEDIATELY, A LL that well- established and extensive i\.

A " FASHIONABLE SQUEEZE."— The members of the University Club gave a grand route on Wed- nesday evening, to meet the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Considerably more than two thousand persons were brought together into a house not capable of accommodating with comfort more than six or seven hundred : some faint idea may, there- I fore, he formed of the crowd und confusion which took place. By dint of great exertion, a kind of | alley was made through Ihe company, and the Duchess and her party were twice conducted through the principal suite of rooms. The guests consisted of about two thirds ladies, and comprised most of the Nobility, and of course, some hundreds of Ihe most lovely of the creation, many of whom suffering under extreme fatigue, and the utter hopelessness of escape ( for lo bring the empty carriages while Ihe full ones wero- airiving was im- possible), betook themselves lo the carpets, on which many of them were seen reposing themselves in groups till long after day- light.

WELSH JUDICATURE, Lord CAWDOR rose, in conforiui y with his notice, to move- srFirst: —' Tl. mt in the existing Judicature of Wales there is not a due administration of justice. Second : That such defect had arisen from the local and unlimited authority of the Welsh Judges. And, thirdly :— That an addition he made to the number of English Judges, so as to. include Wales iu the English Circuits. The LORD. CHANCELLOR observed, that under the present constitution of the Judicature of Wales there was an . access to the Courts of Westminster. He had now been nearly 40 years in one situation or other acquainted with those Courts, and during that period he never knew of more than six applications to the Courts of Westminster from the Welsh Courts. The motion of the Noble Lord deserved great considera- tion, but he had been very cautions in the wording of it. Such a subject might- merit the attention of a Select Committee, and certainly the change ought not t » be made without it; hut if it were now ap- pointed, no Report could be niadc. during the present Session. On this account the Noble Lord had pru- dently called upon tlie House on the sudden lo j resolve itself into a Committee, in order to adopt certain Resolutions. Of such a summary and hasty course of; proceeding he ( the Lord Chancellor) could by no means approve, and therefore resitted- the motion. The Marquis of LANSPOWNE was decidedly of opinion that the Noble Lord ( Cawdor.) had made out a strong prima facie. e » se for the adoption of his resolutions. His Lordship's proposition was sup. ported by thesound principles of British law, and lor this reason he should gladly vote in its favour. On a division, the: Resolutions were lost hy a nmjoiity of 14 to 6. HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. STAFFORD PFKHAOE.

Mr. BROCGIIAM made a lung aud most eloquent speech on this subject, iu which he inveighed against the military tribunal before which Mr. Smith was tried, complained of the inadequacy of Ihe evidence to convict him at all, and described his sentence as amounting to little less than actual murder..— The Hon. and Learned Gentleman fob. clndrd with this motion :—" That an humble Ad- dress be presented to his Majesty, representing that this House having taken into their most serious eon. siderution the papers laid before thein relating to the trial and condemnation of the late Rev. John Smith, a Missionary iu the Colony of Deinerura, deem it their duty to declare that they contemplate with serious'alarm and deep sorrow, the violation of law and justice which is niaiii; Sested in these un- exampled proceedings ; aud mosr earnestly praying lhat his Majesty- will be graciously pleased" to adopt such measures os to his Royal vtksdom may seein meet, for securing such a just and humane adminis- tration of law iu that Colony as may protect the voluntary instructors of the Negroes, as well as the Negroes themselves, aud the rest of his Majesty's subjects, from oppression.'' SIN JAMES MACKINTOSH bore his testimony against the proceedings, as the most abominable and detestable abuse of law that ever disgraced any part of the British EmpiVe. Mr. U'II. MOT HORTON, iu discharge of his duty, claimed tbe indulgence of the House for his reply to these charges. He vinnicatcd the composition of the Court. Martial as consisting of Officers of high cha- racter, great experience, and known humanity., especially the President of it, Lieut.- Col. Wray ; and said if the prisoner had not heen tried by a Court Martial, he must have come under the judg- ment of a Court of Planters, prejudiced men. He explained that Mr. Smith was an enthusiast, in tbe fullest sense ; that lie was a dangerous man from the private understanding he maintained with the Mave population, upwards of 70,000 blacks to about 3000 whites ; and that he knew of the intended insurrection, and did not give notice of it to the Public Authorities, which was in itself misprision of treason; that he was worthy of the Sentence of death which was passed upon him; & that the Court, iu sentencing him and recommending him to the Koyal mercy, which they knew would be extended to him, virtually remitted him from almost all punishment. Mr SCARLETT regretted that so much declama- tion, and what applied to the passions, had been employed by his Hon. and Learned Friend Mr. Brougham on the subject. The Court Martial were described as little better than murderers : he could not subscriM to this, and wi-. ld not vote for the mo- tion. He knew some of the Members- of it well. They were men not exceeded bv any in humanity ; and as to tbe Judge, Mr. Smith was happy in having such an one to preside for him •. he was agentleman educated al Cambridge with himself ( Mr. Scarlett). In his opinion, however, a Court Martial was not the proper tribunal. But he could not acquit Mr Stniih of crime : he had heard something of serious nature, which it was his duty to have imme- diately Communicated : this he failed to do. At two in tbe morning of Wednesday the House adjourned the debate. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. In the conse of the evening a division took place upon a Bill of no great interest, when it was dis- covered that only 31 Members were present; the House consequently adjourned. [ This unexpected adjournment was a source of considerable disappointment to persons who attend- ed iu the gallery to hear the continuation of the debute on Mr. Brougham's motion. At the very moment that the Members were leaving the House upon the above division, an alarm was given that Mr. Graham's balloon was majestically floating over the roof of the House. This produced a diver- sion, aud Hon. Members rushed out to indulge a very excusable curiosity, in such numbers that those who remained behind were insufficient te make a House ; for when it came to he counted out, there were only 31 present ( the nuinber required being 40); and the Speaker was. therefore obliged to ad- journ the House, amidst a good deal of laughing.] HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. The adjourned debate on the Missionary Smith' ease, was, ou account of the absence of several Members expected to take a part in tbe discussion postponed until Fridav, the 11th instant.

SIR,— Highly gratified with your attention to every important alteration that is made in the sacred and other public edifices in different parts of the county, I take the liberty of pointing out the great improvements that have recently taken place in Wroxeter Church, principally through the exer- tions, and entirely under the superintendanee ofthe Rev. William Gorsuch Rowland; to whom the inhabitants of Shrewsbury,. as well as every admirer of antiquities, are so much indebted for the judicious alterations he has from time to time made iu the Abbey Church; and for the care he has bestowed in the restoration and preservation of its monu- ments, as well as of every thing that can add to the utility, the beauty, or the solemnity of that vener- able and sacred structure. The village of Wroxeter, once the flourishing city of Uriconium, has for very many years attract- ed the notice of the antiquarian, ihe medallist, the historian, and ihe topographer, as well as the attention of a numerous class of persons whose curiosity has been excited either lo see the remains of the Roman Wall, which is commonly thought to have formed part of its extensive fortifications,* or of procuring some of the numerous Rowan coins lhat have from time to time been discovered there. Many of these persons must, doubtless, have seen Ihe inside of its ( in part) very ancient church, and regretted the neglected and dilapidated state in which Ihe chancel and the noble monuments it con- tained were suffered to remain. There, Mr. Editor, but a short time ago you might have beheld an extensive chancel with its walls painted black, as if in mourning for its ruinous condition ; its floor with the flag stones broken, in some places patched with fragments of bricks, and the whole uneven and disjointed. There, also, exclusive of other handsome monuments, you might have perceived three ancient altar tombs ; one to SURGEON- DENTIST, At Mr. Palmer't, Pride.

SHREWSBURY YEOMANRY.— On Monday last, the Regiment of Shrewsbury Yeomanry Cavalry had a Grand Field Day, when they were inspected by Major Eckersly, who expressed himself in the most handsome terms to Lieut- Colonel Dallas, the commanding officer of this tine corps, on the clean and soldier like appearance of the regiment, the efficient state of the arms and accoutrements, the superior mounting of the men, and the correct and rapid manner iu which the different manoeuvres and evolutions were performed. He was also particularly pleased with the handsome style in which the corps trotted past in half- squadrons, and with the velocity of the different charges, especially the last in line.-— The fineness of the day, added to the Specific purpose for which the Corps was assembled, attracted a great concourse of genteel and respectable persons to the ground, where there were no less than 23 carriages of the principal families in the vicinity ; and we are happy to say the whole passed off without accident.

Coroner, at Sowd ley Park, on the body of a young man who, having been on a waggon loaded with corn going from the stack- yard to the barn, the fore part of the gearing- broke, the corn slipped and carried the young man with it, who fell'upon the grains of a pikel ( which had also previously fallen upon its end from the Waggon), and they penetrating his body caused his death.— Same day, an inquest was held on the body of a little child accidentally drowned in a well at lghlfield.— Ou the 31st ult. an inquest was held on the body of a little child drowned in a pit at Giavenhongar.— And on the 1st instant, an in- quest was held on the body of a young main accidentally killed in a stone pit at Bank, in the parish of Wellington.— Verdicts accordingly. On Wednesday seTnnight an alarming fire broke out on Anstey Farm^ near Bampton, the property of Captain Norm, of Taunton, which entirely consumed the dwelling house, together with a large quantity of furniture. The amount of pVOpCrty destroyed by this calamitous event amounts to nearly £ 1500.— During the fire, a horse, which was in the stable when the fire commenced, and which the flames had reached, could not be pre- vailed on to quit its stall, although every exertion was made for this purpose, until one of the by- standers accidentally hit upon the plan of saddling the animal, which being done, the horse was as quietly led from the stable as upon ordinary occa- sions. This circumstance cannot be too generally • known as one of the means for preserving1 horses in case of fire. Lord Chief Justice Bromleyf and Jsabell iiis wife j one to Sir Richarde Newporte knyghtej and Mar- garet his wife, only daughter of the Lord Chief Justice; and one to John Berker of llav^ hjnand Esqvier arid Margaret^ his wife,: secoH4^ tr^ lii^ Sir Francis Newport, Knight; each beariug-- full length cumbent effigies of the persons above- men- tioned : these were fust falling to pieces, their pil- lars, & c. fractured, their shields broken, their figures mutilated, and, to add to the deformity, these memorials of departed greatnes* were surmounted with uncouth canopies of wood, and enclosed with still more unsightly railing* of the same material topped with spikes: the, manner of their enclosure, too, was such as to render it extremely inconvenient for the congregation to approach the communion table. Such, Mr. Editor, was the state of Wroxeter chaneel; but uow how different is its aspect! The wjjlls have been fresh coloured of a soft and mellow tint; the floor made as it ought to be, flagged, even, and uniform, and the inscriptions thereon easy to be read; the canopies and railing's, which, served only to offend the eye and obstruct the service, have been removed ; the altar tombs ( with the exception of a trifling addition wanting to the effigies on that of the Berkers, which I hope will yet be done) are completely restored and paintea ; ancl the handsome but neglected. oak railings which for- merly enclosed the communion table something- like a pound, and was put up in 1037, has been taken down, varnished, and piace, d across the chancel, where it has a pleasing effect. So much, indeed, have these alterations improved the interior of the church, that the parishioners, verv much to their credit, have, in order to make all things uniform and appropriate, gone to the expense of new velvet cushions and cloths for the pulpit and desk, new cloth for the communion table, and hand- some cushions along the whole front of the com- munion rails; whereby they have assisted in rendering' their church, which before was mean and neglected, at once respectable and attractive ; far superior to most country churches, well worthy of the notice of the traveller and antiquarian ; ana such a one as I hope will prove, what it really deserves to be, the pride of the villager and his constant resort These improvements have been made at the expense of the Right Hon. the Earl of Darlington To him, therefore, the parishioners ought, and I have no doubt do feel obliged for this aet of muni- ficence; But they have been attained, as I before mentioned, principally through the exertions, and effected entirely under the superintendanCe of the gentleman noticed at the beg- inning of this letter, who has gratuitously devoted his time and attention thereto ; in doing which he has, as I informed by one who witnessexl most of hiSf jourriie « !, ttakeljed ( iu going backwards and forwards) several hundred miles. To him, therefore, in a more peculiar man- ner are they indebted, and to him will due praise be g'iveft by every one who may hereafter wituess what his zeal and experience have accomplished. A little yet remains wanting to the chancel, and this littl^ I hope the agents of the Noble Earl will effect; thV expense will not he worth notice, and liis Lordship has by his liberality shewn that what- ever ought \ o be done it is his wish should be executed. I allude, first, tp the trifling addition before- mentioned to the figures on Berkeri's monu- ment; and, secondly, to the two round- headed windows in the north wall, oneof which is entirely, and the other partly stopped up. These should be re- opened and glazed, after which one thing only would remain to render it one of the most; pi easing', ( as it is now one of the most attractive.): country churches in the county : I mean a little more stained glass in the east window. The Bradford Anns have long been there, and have recently heen cleaned and repaired ; and 1 would recommend to the parishioners to have the Darlington Arms inserted underneath, in a bold handsome manner* as a com pliment to his Lordship for what he- 4wi « don% ftfrd as a proof of their esteem for him as ' ft kind and liberal landlord. The rich and mellow tints of the stained glass would add much to the elegant appear, ance of the chancel ; and, when doing it, they might record, thereon the time when it was done, as well as the reason that prompted them thereto Besides the altar tombs above- mentionedj there is a very handsome mural monument to Francis Viscount Newport and Earl of Bradford, who died Sept . 19, 170S ; another to the Hon. Andrew New- port his brother ; and a tablet to Andrew Newport vtter Barrister, 11 who died in 1611. The latter was put up by order of Mr. Newport himself, then being at the pointof death, in order to record his approval of the reformed religion and his abhorrence of popery. The death of Thomas Alcocke, yeoman, founder of Dounington school, is also recorded upon a brass plate in the. north wall ofthe church. It is with pleasure I have. to add to this account of the improvements at Wroxeter Church, that the present clergyman, the Rev. T. Vaughan, has commenced a Sunday School on the National System, which I have no doubt will prove of incalculable benefit to the children ofthe labouring poor in the vicinity.

GRAND MATCH OF FIVES.-— Nottingham against Hereford for 200 Sovereigns On Thursday last, a match of Fives was played for 100 sovereigns a side at the Nag's Head Court, Hereford, between Messrs. Clark and Simpson ( Nottingham), and Messrs. Cooke and Davis , Hereford). This match excited a great deal of interest, from its being known that the Herefords had to play against men proficient in the game, and known on the turf as good ones. Oil Ihe Tuesday and Wednesday previous, the coaches from Worcester brought abundance of Notling j. haras aud Birniinghams; but Hereford not being sporting place, the peuple were rather shy of betting. The money being posted, 6 to 4 aud 2 to 1 were offered by the Nottinghams, and, in some instances, accepted. Not above £ 600 was depending, owing to the confidence which the Nottinghams possessed. The Herefords won the match, to the great astonishment of the Notting hams, who declared they never had been beat, they not winning even a game. In the first game, they tossed for the house and won it, and got 15 love, when the Herefords got in and won. In the second game, they got only eight. The Notting- hams declared their conviction that Messrs. Cooke and Davis were the 2 best players iii England, and offered lo back them, at the same time thanking them for their polite conduct; and much credit is due to the Nottingliams, who behaved in the most honourable manner.

Some days ago, Mr. Russell, a gentleman who holds a situation in the Ordnance Office, find- ing himself indisposed,. took from a small medicine chest a dose, as he supposed, of. Epsom sails, which he dissolved in warm water, and swallowed ; sutv. prised at experiencing a sudden feeling of pain an, l inflammation, he was induced lo examine the paper, from whence he had taken it ; and, to his great alarm, found that he had unfortunately taken a large dose of saltpetre. A messenger was hastily dispatched for Surgeon Ferrall, of Bachelor's Walk, who immediately attended, and, by a prompt application of the apparatus in question, the whole contents of the stomach were, in about a minute and a half, transferred into a basin. Tbe operation was unattended with pain or - difficulty, and was so completely successful, that, in little more than an hour, Mr. Russell was pronounced altogether dirt of danger, and his large and dis. traded family at once restored lo tranquillity," Suicide Prevented— The newly invented ap- paratus,, kept al the Infirmary for extracting poisons from Ihe stomach, was used, for the first time in Dei by, on Friday se'nnight.

It was tried at Glou- cester last Summer Assizes, when, under the direc- tion of _ Mr. Justice. Park, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff.

Large interest being particularly desirable, we first recommend the loan of £ 640,000 to the Knights of St.. John of Jerusalem. This skeleton regiment of ancient chivalry having lost all their land on earth, it is presumed that the same may be found in the moon, where all lost things are said to be secreted, and those who are disposed to lend nioney on such a pledgee have only need to look through Her^ hePs telescope at the moon during her r, vW'nd if they discover any thing like the shape of Malta on her invisible disk, they may safely ** down with their dust" upon it, Spanish, Colombian, Grecian, Poyais, and a hun- dred other loans are open for those, who may be disappointed of burning their fingers with this, and, it iS'highly probable, that the profits in any one of these will be equal to the profits of the former, though four thousand new Knights are to be dubbed forthwith, whose entrance fees will be 3000 li vres each.— But. there is the IVest India Loan Society, deserving of particular regard from people who wish, either to throw awav their money or employ it in unhallowed speculation. The object of this club will be to lend money to planters, taking mortgages, not of the soil only, b it all the live and dead stock, including among the former that most valuable portion— the human bodiesxxpou the estate, ^ md, to use tlie execrable language of a Jamaica advertisement, " their progeny for ever."— We shall only mention another Loan scheme, which really is very plausible, though we should doubt whether it would be very profitable,— the plan of a Company to supersede Pawnbroker*, by lending money on pledges at a lower rate of interest than the latter are wont to take. We suspect, that this would suit the borrowers better than the lenders. But as Loans are perilous things, Insurance Com- panies offer more desirable means of investing spare capital, provided they can insure their own pro- perty, which they ought certainly to do before they presume to insure that of others. There are about, forty new projects of this kind, and it may possibly be worth the reader's while to give a pin to chus'e in which he. will run the risk of enriching or im- Koverishing himself.

The Retail Brewers will have to pay £ 5.5s, for a Retail License, besides the usual Brewer's License, which for 100 Barrels will be 30s.; and it should be remarked, that no Retail License will be renewed, unless the person applying shall have been charged with duty upon 100 Barrels of Strong Beer at least, in the year preceding' the termination of his former License.— Licenses expire on the 10th of October.— Unde one of the clauses of this Bill, persons bot'litv Porter or Ale for sale must take out a £ 3 3: License • and it does not appear that they will be allowed to retail Beer.— The following clause is so important to Retail Brewers, that. we give it entire : — u Provided always, that no Retail Brewer, not being duly licensed to sell Beer as a Keeper of a common Inn, A'e- house, or Victualling- house, shall deal in or sell any Table Beer, or any Beer, except the Strong Beer which he or they shall brtw, and be charged with tlie duty thereon or shall at any one time use, employ, or consume, any less quantity than sixteen bushels of malt at any one brewing, upon pain of forfeiting for each and every such offence, the sum of £ 100."—- Another clause restrains Retail Brewers from selling M any Beer to be drank or consumed upon the premises where sold, or in- any shop, outhouse, yard, garden, orchard, or other place adjoining the same, or belonging to or occupied by the person or persons taking out such license or selling such Beer, or in which he, she, or they shall have any concern."—[ It is thought by some persons that this clause will prevent Beer being* drank in the street before the houses of Retail Brewers, as is commonly prac- tised.] Retail Brewers are not to retail Beer except between the hours of six in the morning and nine in the evening, nor during the. hours of divine service on Sundays, under a penalty of £ 20.

THE ROMANS,— A writer of great ability, in a very recent History of Roman Literature, notices the observation of Horace, that the Romans possessed considerable tragic spirit, and cultivated tragedy with boldness and even success ; hut from indolence in correcting their productions, the result, perhaps, of that very impetuosity which would not permit it- self to be, curbed in its mad career, they were unable to reach that elaborate perfection which, no less than the energy of the sentiment, distinguishes the com- positions of the G-" eek tragedians.—" The nation," Iso, < 4 was de6cient in . that milder humanity, of which there are so many beautiful instances in Grecian history. From the austere patriotism of Brutus sacrificing every personal feeling to the love of country, from the frugality of Cinciuuatus and parsimony of the Censor, it fell with frightful rapidity into a state of luxury and corruption without example. On the whole, they were an austere, stately, and formal people ; their whole mode of life tended to harden the heart and feelings, and there was a rigid uniformity in their early manners, ill adapted to the free workings of the passions. Any softer emotions, too, which the Roman people mav have once experienced, anysentiments capable of being awakened tQ tragic pathos, became gra- dually blunted by the manner in which they were exercised. They had, by degrees, been accustomed to take a barbarous delight in the most wanton displays of human violence and brutal crue/ fy. Lions and elephants tore each other to pieces before their eyns ; aud ' hey behojd, with emotions only of delight, crowns of hireling j> ladiators wasting their energy, valour, and life, on the guilty arena of a circu « . The extension, too, of the military power, and the increasing Wealth and splendour of the Roman republic, accustomed its citizens to triumphal and gaudy processions. This led to a taste for what, in modern times, has been called,.' spectacle. More- over, the language the Romans, however excellent iu other respects, was, at least, in comparison with Greek, but ill suited to the free expression of earnest and vivid emotion. Little attention, besides, was paid to critical learning, and the cultivation of eurrecf composition Even so taie as the time of Horace, the tragic drama eonlinued to he unsuccess- ful, in consequence of th; 1 illiberal education of the Roman youth ; who, while ibe Greeks were taught to open all the. mind to . glory, were so cramped iu their genius1 by. the loye of gain and by the early infusion of sordid principles, that they were unable to project a great design, or conduct it to perfection," THE PIRATE'S SONG'V ( JK.

R0M THE SPOItTlKtl MAGAZINE.] Independent of tbe company, Chester is a place o considerable interest to a spin Ismail, being Ibe great trial ground for voiuig ones, and where Ihe old ones come out fresh and well. Same measure may also be taken of the L. ger horses, from Ihe perform nnces of the northern stables. Chester, however, as 11 convivial meeting, is not what Chester was. The chilling stream of refinement lias pusjjed over every corner of the Empire, and neither a Welsh nor Cheshire ' Squire can now be so vulgar as . to lie s.. n on a race- course after he has bail bis .! inner. The two o'clock ordinaries, formerly so well attended, and where so much niiilh and good fellowship prevailed, are all knocked in the head, ami private parties substituted in their roi. il>, Tbe office of stewards appears almost a sinecure, and, lor my own part, J never knew who they were, till the races were almost over— instead of, as iu former days, having drunk their health every day in Ihe week, with " three limes three." As a place of sport, however, Chester is greatly improved; ami, as a country meeting, may rank next in tbe list to Epsom, Ascot, York, and Don- easier, baling no less than nine good sweepstakes, one King's plate, two gold eiips, ami five other plates; and ihe running this year, with the excep- tion of ibe last day, was uncommonly good. Some excellent riding was also displayed iltlwo or three of the well- contested races. Sam Darling particu- iarlv distinguished himself in a set- to with W. Seolt, nud'afterwards roileTbe Miller of Mansfield, and Tlie Agent, so much to Ibe satisfaction of Mr. Houlils- worth, that hs hired him as his second master— Mr. Ormsby Gore being Iris first. Torn Nicholson also rode Sir Thomas Stanley's horses iu bis nsiral daring style, and ought to have been made a portrait of himself, when winning his race with Portrait, heal- ing The Miller of Mansfield. Let not Mr. lloiilds worth suppose I triumph over bis defeat; on Ihe contrary, as a disinterested person, lie may always wiu ill'his turn, as his stable is one of tbe many crnainenis of ihe turf; but there must lie losers, or there can be no winners, and The Miller did not look well. E Jackson, the hoy who rode The Butler for the Maiden Plate, attracted much notice, from the masterly manner in which be performed, waning, and looking at bis horses, till tbe last moment, with all the coolness of an old jockey. One of ibe chief topics of conversation, towards the end of the meeting, was the condition of Sir Thomas Stanley's horses, which was evident as soon as Portrait ami The Doge had shewn themselves, Thev displayed the perfection of the'ait of grooming whether for the turf or the field, being high in flesh, aud strong iu work.* Previous lo The Doge start, iug for tlic Tradesmen's Clip, 1 pointed him out lo yiily ( Mr. Mylton's iminer) as ibe winner. " He is ],,<> high," siiid Dill. v. " Not a bit," 1 replied, " to carl v 9st. 21b." 1 stood by Sir Thomas during the race, who, when Ihey were making severe running over the flat, the second time round, ex. claimed, his horse was being beat. I ventured lo assure him he was not, for lhat his condition— so superior to any other horse be had to contend with— must bring him through. It was a terrible race! The condition of General Mioa was still more perfect, and does infinite credit to George Wildon, bis groom, who has lived willi Sir Thomas many years. 1 Weill with him lo the stable, to look at the General, and 1 never saw flesh so good, or so even, on any horse before. He lias not been out since he has been in training, but lias always been going on gently with his work, aud I much mistake if lie do uot prove a very dangerous customer to all who have to meet him lliis year. Sir Thomas's horses are all named at home, where he has excellent ground for those lhat have to come out early ; and at any other lime oftbe year he lias tbe Forest verv near to him, if he wanis it. llis being so close to Chester is also • au advantage which it seems he does not fail to profit by, as" at tire Inst meeting be carried oft' more Ib » n a thousand guineas of public money, which no man ever did before, at that place. Tom Nicholson is a rider well suited for Chester course. He lias enviable nerve, is a good judge of pace, and a pow- erful horseman, never having occasion IO waste, Tbe first is a necessary qualification, where the severest running is nlaile ill, and the horses loin in a turn! No accident, however, occurred at tbe lute meeting. The cockpit at Chester has ever heen celebrated for sport, but Ibis year, one side could not fight at nil. The main was'belween that noted cocker, Dr. Reilyse, of Audletn, near Nautwich, and Ralph Benson, Esq, of Lniu. vchc Hall, In Shropshire, for 20 guineas each main' b illle, 10 guineas each bye battle, and 500 guineas the main. Phillips fed fi the Doctor; and the well- kuowu Tommy Bourn, of Cheltenham, for Mr. Benson; but whether To had exhausted all his lighting at Chichester, or I rusted loo much to the goodness of his cocks, it is not for me t,, determine, bill from some cause or oilier he did not even meet his opponent halfway in tbe pit. On iiiv asking in. v old friend Mr. Benson, afler tbe main was over, hinv it happened that he cut so sorry a figure, lie replied, that his cocks were good, but they were not iu condition :.." they wanted physic," said he ; " for I opened some of them, and they were fat inside," I could not help telling him fliat if it depended on phi/ sic, it was no wonder the Doctor w as too much for him. It is somewhat singular, that at the meeting before last, Toiuinv fed the same main for Mr. Mytion, against Mr. Price, of Bryn. vpys ( who was chiefly cocked by the Doctor), and beat him as far as he was heal in llie last main. This, however, was in some degree attributed lo an error in Gilliver's rejectingsome of Ibe Doctor's cocks, and depending upon others which failed him. All those who are admirers of expression of the human face— of airs, altitudes, aud postures of the human body, would have had a high treat in llie, Chester cockpit. Galvanism itself has not half tbe effect on the muscles of a dead man, as a cut- throat blow appears lo have on those of Jerry Robins, Jack Wrav, or Godfrey As to Tommy himself, bis pipes are so at work ai the end ofa long battle, thai I can compare him to mulling but a high- blowing coach horse, al the top of a steep hill, with a heavy, load behind him. With his turned. up ha', fnstian jacket, and red belly,\ he is a cocker on the canvas, and should have lived in the days of Hogarih. I have more than once observed, that when I meet with a truly spoiling character, 1 cannot pass bi n over. Indeed, 1 consider it a duty I owe lo llie sporting world not lo do so I must, therefore, say n few words about that first- rale cocker— that noted courser— that celebrated haudicapper— lhat walking stud- book — Or. Reilyse. The Doctor has been a sportsman upwards of forty years; and, next to his profession, has pecu- liarly " devoted himself to coursing, cocking, and Ibe race- course. Ilis greyhounds have long distin. guished themselves by llieir speed and true running, llis cocks have been equally goad ; anrl be is one of angeroiit high- flying birds, called " Cheshire Pilis," for w hich that county has been so lung famed n the annuls of Ihe sod ; - aiid which were so freely backed in the well- contested mains of Sir Peter WatbiTrton, Sir Windsor Hunluke, Lord Mexbo- ' fVugli, & c kc. Tbe Doclor had only one of these cocks in his last main, hut he was backed at odds, and won his battle cleverly. ll is, however, as a handicapper of race- horses, that Dr. BeUyse stands so pre- eminent-* having, it is supposed, put horses nearer together, on various occasions, than any oilier man of bis day. Here tbe Doctor lias an advantage, not merely front observa- tion and judgment, but from possessing the clearest recollection of [ last events, and knowing tbe pedi- gree, performance, and qualities of almost every horse in England. One instance will he sufficient, iu confirmation of liis ability in this difficult depart- ment of spoi ling. At Neucasile- tinder- Lyine, in the year 1820, the following horses were handicapped by him:— ST. I. B. Sir John " Egerton's Asthnry, 4 vrs... S 6 Mr. Mytton's Handel, 4 yrs 7 11 Sir'Wi'jliain Wynne's Tarragon, 4 yrs 8 0 Sir Thomas Stanley's Cedric. 6 13 The horses came in as follows: — Of the first three heats there was no winner— Tarragon and Handel being nose and nnse ; anil though Aslhnry is stated 111 have been third, the first beat, yet lie was so nearly on a level with Ibe others, thai it was diffi- cult lo place hi in where be was. Afler the second beat, Mr. Littleton, who was steward, requested the Doclor, and two oilier gentlemen, lo look stedl'astly al the horses, and try to decide iu favour of one of them, but il was impossible so lo do. In tbe third dead beat, Tarragon and Handel had struggled with each other till they reeled about, like drunken men, and could scarcely support their riders to tbe scales. Asthury, who had lain by after Ibe first heal, then came up and won ; and it is generally believed, that llie annals of ihe turf cannot produce such a race as ibis. Tarragon was ridden by Dick Spencer Handel by tbe late Will Dunn"; aud Astbury by Jack Hayes act of injustice' committed it. tnauaWmr The following is a copy of the Bill for reversing the attainder of the Viscount Stafford :— " Whereas William late Viscount Stafford, in the thirty- Second vear of the reign of his tale Majesty King Charles ibe Second, having been impeached of High Treason by the Commons of the Realm of England in Parliament assembled, was thereupon arraigned and tried before tbe Peers of Parliament assembled, and bv them convicted, aud in due farm of law attainted of the same High Treason, and was adjudged lo Death, and was executed for the same: And rt'hereas it is just &. proper that Ibe said Attain- der should be reversed : Be it therefore enacted by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with tbe advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Tem- poral, and Commons,, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, lhat the said conviction, attainder, and judgment, and all uiid everv attainder* and attainder of High Treason of or against the said WilliamiaW Viscotihl Stafford, shall be and tbe same are hereby reversed, repealed, evoked, ann tilled, and made " utterly void to all intents and purposes, as if the same had never been.

REVERSAL OF ATTAINDER. ~ * Sir Thomas told me Tbe Doge had had two sweats a week iu his last preparation. . + A man with a red waistcoat is thus described in Cheshire and Lancashire, We have already called the attention of our readers to the Bills now before the House of Lords for restoring the honours lo five noble families which had been forfeited by attainder. The fol lowing brief notice of the restored families will, we doubt not, be acceptable:— EUSKINE, EARI. or MAR.— The Erskines are of a very ancient family, and distinguished themselves in ihe service of their Sovereigns so early as tbe be- ginning of the 13th century. Sir William Erskine as an eminent adherent of King Robert Bruce. One of bis descendants, Robert Lord Erskine, claimed the Earldom of Mar ( by maternal right), to hich be was served heir in 1438.— Robert, the fourth Earl of Ibis family, fell at the battle of Floddert- field. He was succeeded by John, ihe fifth Earl, who had the custody of bis infant Soveieign Queen Mary, which he retained until the year 1548, when the Estates of the Kingdom ordered him to carry her to the Court of France. His son John, the sixth Earl, was appointed to an office of similar trust lo ( hat of bis father, and had charge of James VI. . forwards King of England, when an infant.— lolin, the eleventh Earl of Mar, was unfortunately engaged iu the rebellion of 1715 ; aud adhering to the fortune of Ibe Pretender, followed him lo Rome, and after, wards lo Paris and Aix- la- Chapelle, where lie died in 1732. His attainder took place in 1716. John, the last Earl of Mar, married, for his second wife. Lady Fiances P'eipoinl, sister to Ihe celebrated Lady Worllev Montagu. His descendant, to whom these honours will he restored, is John James Erskine, Esq. GORDON, VISCOUNT KENMURE.— From Sir Adam de Gordon ( ibe younger brother of Sir Alexander, ancestor of the Dukes of Gordon), who was slain al ihe battle of Halidon Hill, 1333, descended Sir Alex- ander Gordon, of Kenmure, who fell at tbe buttle of Flodden, 1513. His descendant, Sir John Gordon, of Lochinvar, being eminent for his loyally, was created Viscount Kenmhre, May 8, 1633. His colla- tern! heir, William, seventh Viscount, engaged in the rebellion of 1715. and was taken prisoner at tbe battle of Preston, when he was hied by bis Peers, condemned and executed, ami his estate and honour forfeited. The present representative of the family is John Gordon, Esq. DRUMMONII, EARI. OF PERTH.— The family of Drummond was always ranked among llie most ancient and illustrious names of the Scottish nation, highly distinguished by a longtrainof worthy ances- tors, not less remarkable for the noble alliances they made and the dignities conferred upon them, than for personal merit. Sir Malcolm Driiiniliond flour- ished in the middle of the 12th century ; from him descended Sir John Driimmond, of Stobltall, who made a great figure in the reigns of James III. and IV. and was concerned in most of the public Iraus actions of the time, ile was raised to the Peerage, by the title of Lord Drummond, January 14, 1487 llis grandson James, fourth Peer, was created Earl nf Perth, March 4, 1605. His great nephew James, fourth Earl, was successively Lord Justice General nud Lord Chancellor of Scotland.— On the aceessii. il of James II. of England, he wasiu great favour with that monarch, and attempted to follow him abroad after his abdication, but was taken, and suffered four years' imprisonment. On bis liberation he followed his master, who created him Duke of Perth First Lord of the Bedchamber, Knight of tbe Garter. & c. He died at St. Geriliains, in May, 1716, and was interred in the Chapel of the Scotch College at Paris. His eldest son James ( by Lady Jane Douglas attached himself firmly to the House of Stuart. H opposed the Union, and was very active iu Ihe rebellion of 1715. His son James, called Duke of Perth, imbibed all the principles of his family, and joined Ihe standard of Ihe Young Pretender. At the buttle of Preston he acted as Lieutenant General " and in spite of n very delicate constitution," say Douglas, " he underwent the greatest fatigues, and was " lie first on every occasion of duty, where lib head or his hands could lie of use ; bold as a lion i tbe field, but ever merciful iu tbe hour of victory. After tbe battle of Culloileil had extirpated ibe hopes of Ibe House of Stuart, he embarked for France, but died on tbe passage, May 13, 1746. Having died before Ihe limited time appointed by Parliament for lite surrendering; be escaped ihi attainder, but it fell on his brother and heir John who was embarked in the same cause, aud whose estate and tille were forfeited to Ihe crown. Tbe present heir of the family is James Drummond, Esq This gentleman is, we believe, heir to the title o Viscount Stralhallan, which became forfeited in 1746, when William, the fourth Viscount, fell at the battle of Cnlloden, and bis sun was. included in the attain der of his father. NAIRN, LORD NAIRN.— Michael de Nairn, ill ancestor of the Lords of Nairn, flourished in lb reign of Robert III. His descendant, Robert Nairn was raised to the Peerage by the lille of Lord Nairn, 1681, with remainder to his daughter Margaret and Lord William Murray, her husband, who became second Lord Nairn. This Peer engaged in the rebellion of 1715, and was taken prisoner at Preston, He was conducted to tbe Tower, tried bv his Peers, convicted, and sentenced to death, but obtained his liberty on tbe general Act of Indemnity, 1717. lie died in 1725, and was succeeded by his son John, third Lord Nairn, who, having engaged in the rebel- lion of 1745, was attainted of High Treason, and bis estate ami honours forfeited to the Crown. Such is a brief but correct notice of the families to whom bis Majesty has graciously proposed In restore their forfeited honours This, as the Noble Earl who introduced the Bills said, is an act of grace and favour ; but another Bill which was presented to the House at the same time, was an act of justice— we allude to the Bill for reversing tbe attainder of Vis- count Stafford; whose trial, condemnation, aud exe- cution form so affecting a page in English history, and so foul a blot on an English Parliament, lie was the last victim that fell under the charge of tbe Popish p'ot. Speaking of his death, Hume savs, " This vvas die last blood which was shed on account of Ihe Popish plot: an incident w hich, for the credit of Ihe nation, il were belter to bury in eternal obli- vion ; but which it is necessary to perpetuate, as well to maintain the truth of history, as lo warn, if possible, their posterity, nnd all mankind, never. a « ' nin to full iuto so shameful, so barbarous a de- lusion." It may not, perhaps, be generally known, that in 1685 a Bill was brought into the House of Lords for reversing Ihe attainder of Lord Stafford, on th ground, as stated in the preamble, that, " Whereas it Ts now manifest that the said William, lale Viscount Stafford, was innocent of tbe treason laid to his charge, anil the testimony whereupon he was found guilty was false." So soon after the death of this Peer did ibe Upper House become convinced of bis innocence, and the Bill passed, although some Pro- tests were made against it. On being brought into the House of Commons, it was, however, thrown out; and Burnet, if we mistake not, attributes tbe rejec- tion of tbe Bill to the obstinacy of the House of [ FLTOM THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLE.] Il is with Ihe greatest regret we have to an- nounce, that this spirited and patriotic Corps is likely immediately to hi disbanded, or, more properly speaking, to disband itself, as we under- stand all the Non. Commissioned Officers, and about thirty of the Privates, have sent in, their Resignations to their Commanding Officer. Their reasons for so doing are fully expressed in a Letter, of which wc have beeu favoured with a Copy, and which we give : — To H. II. BIRLFY, ESQ. MAJOR COMMANDANT OF THE MANCHESTER AND SALFORD YEOMANRY CAVALRY. Albion Hotel, Mai/ 10th, 1824. SIR, WE, the undersigned Non- Commissioned Officers and Privates serving under your command, now assembled at a General Meeting of the Corps, for the purpose of receiving and examining tbe Report of tbe Committee of Inquiry appointed at tbe last General Meeting, most respectfully submit to vou our entire concurrence vvith, the sentiments of tbe Committee, relative to tbe inefficiency of the Corps ; and on adverting to the tenor of a letter on ibe same subject, addressed hy you to Captain Simpson, and forwarded by that officer, with his accustomed alacrity, to the Chairman of the Committee, the conviciion that your sentiments are fully iu accord- ance with our own affords considerable alleviation to the regret which we feel in being imperatively called upon to g'ive our unanimous sanction to a series of Resolutions, in substance as follows : — THAT this Corps has never at any period been adequately effective, in regard to numbers, with the extensive, immensely populous, and wealthy district, for the scrvice of which it has been en- rolled ; and considering the rapidly- increasing po- pulation and. comtnercial importance of the United Towns of Manchester and Salford, au equivalent increase of numbers would be absolutely requisite, to enable the Corps to perform with effect those duties which necessarily attach to a Volunteer Force when called upon to aid the Civil Power. THAT, several attempts having been unsuccess- fully made to render the Corps more effective, and the circumstance of its inefficiency having been officially communicated to the Municipal Authori- ties, as well as to many of the principal inhabitants of these Towns, and the. general opinion appearing to be, that the peaceable aspect of the times, the prosperity of the mercantile interests, and the con- tented industry ofthe labouring classes, supersede ali necessity for a local Volunteer Force; this Corps, therefore, finding itself similarly situated with all former Corps of these Towns,— IT ts RESOLVED that, as our farther services appear to be considered no longer, necessary, to continue enrolled in the present inefficient state of the Corps would be doing- injustice not only to ourselves but to the able and respected Officers under whom we have the honour to serve. We, therefore, Sir, tender you our Resignations as Members of the Manchester and Salford Yeo- manry Cavalry; and in thus retiring from under your command we beg to assure you that we do so with the most heartfelt regret, as we have ever, individually as well as collectively, experienced, from you in particular, and the oilier Officers in general, the most gentlemanly treatment. — Accept, Sir, with our best thanks for your zeal and atten- tion, our sincerest wishes for your continued hap- piness and prosperity.— We beg leave to subscribi ourselves, Sir, your most devoted and obedient humble servants. ( Signed by Porty of the Non- commissioned Officers and Privates. J wmfstff^ mmm the solicitors- on the first commission, should not he the solicitors of the joint commission. The motive of issuing' this commission was to supersede, in a voluntary manner, the first commission which was impugned as irregular and improper. The commis- sion was issued; a Mr. England acted as solicitor upder the commission, and the Messrs. Frosts as commissioners, hut really as the working solicitors ; Eng land was to recei ve the fees of commissioner, and the Frosts Were to receive the subsequent lees of the solicitor to the commission. 111 looking at this ar- rangement, his Lordship felt happy that he was not obliged to consider it in the heinous character which had been imputed to it; he was of opinion that it was done under an ignorance or misconception of the principles of practice as delivered from the bench on which his Lordship sat ; if it had been done under other motives it would have been a gross abuse of the laws, and a most deep ofi'ence against the Great Seal, and this character was given to such conduct of solicitors so far back as the date of the select cases in Chancery. The fault of the Messrs. Frosts was not an active interposition for the making of such arrange- ments, but rather a neglect to inquire how far such a rra ngeme n ts were ad m issibIe. Th e case q uoted, from decision of Lord Loughborough, was not analagous to the present : in the former, fraud was proved to have been committed by faking out the commission ; in the present case fraud was not proved; yet his Lordship could pot but say that there was much ag- gravation in this case too ; it was a violation of rules which had been long since laid down for the conduct of solicitors. No solicitor could he a commissioner also'in the same case iri which he was solicitor; no person who became a commissioner could afterwards desert that station of commissioner. His Lordship was aware that in country commissions of bankruptcy the conduct of commissioners was most infamous. A commission ought not to be taken out vyhere there was no property to be divided between the creditors ; yet a country commissioner once had the assurance to tell him that he took out a commission against a man hose whole property, real and personal, amounted to 3s. 6d. lit the present case Mr. C. Frost was proved to have received fees of commissioner, and Mr. England the fees of solicitor. His Lordship was sorry to see that Mr. Frost, senior, was aware of this " reum, stance. Now, his Lordship was determined that these gentlemen should repay every penny of these costs back to the estate of the bankrupt, and that the Messrs. Frosts should pay all the costs of this petition against them. The discussion of this ubject, his Lordship trusted, would be beneficial to the public ; it wouid also have this good, that it would induce his Lordship to make it a foundation of rules for the conduct of Qftuntry solicitors in bank- ruptcy ; one of these rules was that every solicitor to a commission should furnish to the great seal proofs that he alone, and no other, was solicitor to it; and that every Commissioner to a country commission should prove that he has no interest in the fees of the solicitor; these rules his Lordship expected would strike at the root of the most injurious and improper custom of a partnership of solicitors splitting t hem- selves into the two capacities of solicitors and com- missioners; his Lordship in concluding declared his ecirfed resolution to strike off every solicitor who hould he proved to have committed the impropriety barged iii the present case ; and if the defendants n this case had presumed to defend their conduct as correct, if they had not admitted its impropriety, at the same time asserting the purity of their motives, his Lordship would most certainly have dealt towards them much more severely than he had justdpne. Sato. On Friday week, the following gentlemen were called to the degree of Barrister at Law, by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's, inn :— Jonathan Henry Christie, Esq.; Wjlliarn Joseph Colt man, Esq.; Henry Chance, Esq.; Thomas Henry Musgrave, Esq.; Isaac Onslow Seeker, Esq.; Godfrey Thomas Vigne, Esq. ; William Bulkeley Hughes, Esq.; and Charles James Swann, Esq, TURNPIKE DECISION.— At the Petty Sessions held at Sherborne ou Saturday last, White, the lessee of the tolls under the Sherborne; trust, ap- peared to answer to an information laid against one of his collectors, by Mr. Blake, of Black Marsh Farm, for taking tolls for a waggon carrying hurdles from one part of his grounds to another. Mr. Blake contended lhat hurdles, being necessary implements of husbandry, were exempt under the 10th section of the 4th George IV. The defendant replied that they were not implements within the meaning of the exempting clause, inasmuch as they might be used for other purposes than those of husbandry. The Magistrates, however, de- cided that the toll could not be justly levied, and fined the collector in the mitigated penalty of 5s and costs. Court of Chancery, May 3 1, IMPORTANT TO SOLICITORS. IN THE MATTER OF FROSTS. JUDGMENT. THE LORD CHANCELLOR having taken his seat on the Bench, proceeded to deliver his judgment in thi case. The objects of the petition on which fhe pro- ceedings were founded appeared to be, first, that hi Lordship might strike the defendants, solicitors of the Court, off the roll ; secondly, that they might be removed from the office of Masters Extraordinary o" the Court; and thirdly, that they might be in futu restrained from acting as Commissioners of Bank ruptey. The petitioner was Mary Richardson ; she stated in her petition a detail of ihe proceedings in four commissions against Robert Lee; she had demand on him for a certain sum ; the justice of this debt became the subject of arbitration ; the concln siou ofthe award vvas, that the money was really due to Mrs. Richardson. A commission was then taken out by Mr. Lee, the father, against Robert Lee, his son ; whether this was concerted with the sort or not, his Lordship would not say ; the object of that com mission ' was stated to be to defeat the el arm of petitioner; however that might be, the son obtained his certificate, which was probably tlie primary motive of taking out the commission. An applica- tion was made to the Vice- Chaneellor to supersede that commission, on the ground that it was concerted with fraudulent intentions. The Vice Chancellor sent the question of concert to be tried by a Jury who decided, against the direction of the presidin. Judge, that the commission vyas not concerted. The Vice- Chancellor, his Lordship was of opinion, ought to have caused tiie bankrupt to he examined on that trial, hut did not; an application vvas then made to his Honour for a second trial; the application was re fused. The matter was then brought into his Lord ship's Court by appeal. This was the course of the pmceedings iu tbe Courts of Justice. lo an inter,, mediate space a Counsel had advised a joint cointnis JWacetlanecms Intelligence. ST.

At half after six the Lord Bishop of London took the chair, and was supported by a most respectable body of about one hundred. After the removal ofthe cloth 64 The Church and King1' was drank with applause u The Duke of York, and the rest of the Royal Family." The Right Rev. Chairman said that he had to propose tbe health of a Prelate, whose character and conduct did honour both fo his private and public life— the health of the Archbishop of Canterbury. This toast wa § drank with applause. The Bishop of London, in proposing success to this society, remarked on the flourishing state of the in- stitution, and the utility of its proceedings : by dis- seminating the truths of the holy religion of Christ throughout the country, they were performing one of their mofit sacred duties ; and that much was done " by this society would be perceived by the general account. This account stated, that in the course of the past year the Society have issued 4038 packets of books to their members on the terms of the society ; ( insisting of, Bibles, 43,867; New Testaments, 59,455; Praver- Books, 124,895; other bound Books, 94,429 ; small Tracts, 805,380.— Packets of hooks granted gratuitously on special application r-— Bibles, 723.; Testaments, 820 ; Prayer- Books, 1,536 ; bound Books, 713; small Tracts, 6,569. The total number of Bibles, & c. issued to the members on the terms of the Society, granted gratuitously on special applica tion, and delivered to members for their gratuitous distribution-.— Bibles, 44,590; Testaments, 60,275; Prayer Books, 126,431 ; other bound Books, 95,142), small Tracts, 811,949; Bboksaud Papers ( gratuitous; 316,431; Total, 1,451,818.— After the healths of the friends ofthe Society bad been drank the Chairman retired. LORD BYRON .— During his residence at Venice, the house of a shoemaker was destroyed hy fire; and every article belonging to the poor man being lost, he was, with a large family, reduced to a most pitiable condition. The noble bard having ascer tained the afflicting circumstances of this event, ordered a new and superior habitation to be imme- diately built for the sufferer ; in addition to which he presented the unfortunate tradesman with sum equal in value to the whole of his lost stock in trade and furniture. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.—' Live stock, both fat and lean, by consequence, the meat marketss are universally high, and an advance even expected Horses still hold their price; and at no former period, not even in the prosperous and sporting days of Orleans ( Egalite), was the demand France for English horses so great or so constant, Wool in brisk demand, It is a remarkable coincidence, that the number of the majority in the House of Commons which rejected the two bills lately brought iuto Parliament and which affected the Establishment of the Church of England, viz the Bill on the Catholic question, and the Unitarian Marriage Bill, corresponded with the number of the Articles of the Church of J£ ng land, namely, 39 in each ease. PLACE HUNTING.— The following letter, which has been lately published as authentic, contains some useful, if not very consolatory information to the numerous tribe of place- hunters. " Mr. Canning ( says the person who publishes the letter) had been in office only a few weeks when he wrote the following letter to a gentleman who, having some connection in Liverpool, had ap plied to him for some sit uation under Government, c Foreign- Office, Oct. 21,1822. 4 Mr. Canning presents his compliments to M P. and acknowledges the receipt of his lette which came to Mr. Canning's hands only yesterday ' It is unfortunately quite out of Mr. Canning* power to offer for Mr. P— -' s acceptance any ap pointinent either at home or abroad. Every branch of office is not only full, but beset with expectant: who look forward, on one ground or another, succeed to vacancies as they arise ; and Mr. Can ning-' s list of personal ciainjs upon him is alread more numerous than he knows how to dispose o;' or can expect to provide for, for many years t couie. Under these circumstances, it is quite Use less for Mr. P. to trouble his frieuds in Liverpool for the recommeadations of which he makes men^ tion ; for however he were recommended, it would not be in Mr. Canning's power to return any other answer than the above to Mr. P.' s application.'

BRISTOL TOWN DUES.— There appears to be every prospect of tj^ is long agitated question between the Corporation of Bristol and their fellow citizens, being amicably and equitably arranged. The decline of the commerce of that port having been clearly: traced to the heavy imposts collected by tlie corpor- ation from persons not free of the eity, thereby per. petuating ifi the freemen a monopoly, which, though for a short time apparently advantageous to them, has in the end proved quite tbe reverse, the corpor- ation have consented to a considerable diminution of their revenue, and have wisely agreed earnestly to recommend to their fellow citizens to forego their privileges, and to suffer a light paekage rate to be substituted in lieu of the ruinous ad valorem duty hitherto imposed, to be levied upon freemen as well as non- freemen, so that the burthen may equally be borne. To this proposition the bulk of Ihe opulent and influential merchants of the city have cheerfully agreed; and the very few dissentients who remain opposed to the measure, there is no doubt will soon he convinced that it is for their interest, in every point of view, to yield to this triumph of liberal principles over those narrow prejudices and restrie- tions upon the freedom of trade, which might have been well enough adapted for the infancy of com- merce, in the 12th and 13th centuries, but which, in" the present enlightened age, and at Bristol iri par- ticular, have been found incompatible with, and totally destructive of every encouWigemeht to com- petition, enterprise, ahd that reciprocity of interest, which it is the policy of the Administration of the present day so anxiously to cultivate and promote. Tothepersevering exertioiisand continued discussion of the subject in the columns of Felix Farley^ s Jour- nalj by the editor of that paper, the success of this desirable arrangement is mainly to be attributed. For several Sundays past a woman has regularly preached in the streets of Frome, She possesses considerable talent, and is thoroughly acquainted ith her Bible ; that a woman should not speak in public, appears to be the only text she has for- gotten! She preached three times in the day, emoving from one station to another, and borrow ing a chair, from which she harangues, from the first friendly doc?, A necdote of Sir Henry Hardinge— Sir Henry Hardinge, who has been recently involved in the affair of the Marquis of Londonderry and Mr Battier, is an officer of distinguished bravery, and has lost an arm in the service. When, on the fall of Napoleon, the allies entered Paris, Sir Henry Hardinge vvas among the British officers who were stationed in the capital. One evening, while con ducting some ladies home from the theatre, he was grossly insulted by a Prussian officer. He did not take any notice of the circumstance, but next day ascertained the name of the officer, and found, that he was a subaltern. He therefore wrote a clialleni to the commanding officer of the corps, stating the insult, which was rather national than personal, nd demanding satisfaction; adding, that he had addressed him as an officer of equal rank, but should afterwards call ou every officer ill the corps, until iic descended to the person that had insulted im. The commanding officer, struck with astonishment at such seeming temerity, applied to tile General of Division, who, equally surprised requested an audience of Sir Henry, and, feeling tbe respect due to a brave officer, compelled his offending subaltern to make a public apology to Sir Henry before the assembled regiment. QUACKF. RY.— An inquest was lately held at the Sun, Lisson- grove, on VV. Bat timer, who had laboured under a very severe disease, and applied to a quack ; the consequence was, he died in ex treme agony in a few hours. His original illness was not dangerous, but the applications he had taken had poisoned him. The Jury found a verdict ' Deceased was , poisoned in consequence of havin, njudiciously swallowed a quantity of mercury, improperly administered to him." A DEAD TAKE- IN.— Some few years back while an East lndiaman vvas at Canton, a parly was sent on shore for fresh water, accompanied by a young officer who took his double- barrelled gun aud amused himself until attacked by several na tives, when he fired, and killed one of the men Ihis deterred the rest from pursuit, and he escaped Next day a great stir vvas made about this business trade was suspended, and the officer was demanded as all expiatory sacrifice to the manes of the de- ceased Chinese. This could not be agreed to but instead of the officer, a large sum in dollar was offered to httsh up the matter; but no, foud as they are of dollars, the great men of Canton would have a life for a life. At this juncture, the butcher of the Indiaman committed suicide, when some cunning dog of the ship's company found out lhat be was about the size of the officer, and it vvas thought might he passed off for him. The body was dressed in a suit of the other's uniform and the poor butcher unwittingly promoted after his decease, the dirk was strapped round his body and every thing done to make it appear he was 1 lie officer, who was snugly put out of sight; the villainous butcher's knife was changed for a town made razor, besmeared with blood, and put into Ihe deceased's hands. When all was ready, a boat was dispatched to the shore, to. say that the authorities might now have the body of the of. fending officer. A mandarin was sent on board saw the officer lie dead with his own eyes, and having so seen, said, <; It was no fashion ( no use) to take a dead man ; but as he was dead they had better biry him, and pay the money at first offered." EXTENSIVE FRAUD.— Three respectable youri men, one uf them well known on the Exchange, hav been in custody during the last week, 011 a charge of fraud and conspiracy to a great extent. One of them, it appears, was a confidential clerk to Messrs Joseph Slice and Co. and entrusted to accept hills drawn 011 that house, but in breach of ihccoufidencc thus reposed in him, he had, in conjunction with the other prisoners, accepted bills to the amount of several thousands for their accommodation. One of the prisoners, a dashing blade, bad, it seems entered into a matrimonial engagement with daughter of a clergyman in Oxfordshire, and was lo receive a fortune of £ 15,000 vvith the lady, 011 condition that he previously deposited with trustees the sum of £ 10,000. Not having this sum at com mand, the young adventurer, in order to raise the wind, hit on the expedient of prevailing 011 Messr Shee's clerk to give him acceptances on his master house, which were to be discounted. Fortunately the transaction was discovered before many of the bills had got into circulation, and, by Ihe appr hension of the parties, most of the fraudulent ac ceptances have been recovered. The prisoners wer ordered to enter into their own recognizances in £ 500 and find two sureties each in the sum of £ 100, Wednesday evening an entirely new house, in the parish of Whitstone, named Copperwalls, the property of Mr. Roberts, currier, of Crediton, Devonshire, was destroyed by fire; and as Ihe flames were discovered in three places at once, there is too much reason to fear that it was the work of incendiaries. The premises, valued at £ 2000, were uninsured. An atrocious attempt at robbery, attended with immediate punishment, has occurred in Southamp- ton, and we trust it will operate as a warning to depredators in future;— Mr. Smith, baker, above bar, having lately lost a quantity of flour from his premises, and knowing the daring character of some villains who infest that neighbourhood, he set some persons, with his soil, all armed, to watch for them. About half- past twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning, some persons were heard break- ing into the premises, which being accomplished the villains perceiving they were discovered at- tempted to retreat, when Mr. Hysom, one of the persons on guard, after bailing them, tired at and wounded owe of them, who appears to be William Clark, a man lately in Ihe employ of Mr. Smith, as his foreman. Clark's wounds prove to be of a dangerous description, the gun having been loaded with small shot, which passed through his thigh. Another of the gaug, named Ingram, made his escape, hut left his hat behind him, M r. Smith, has always been a good friend to Clark, whose ingratitude now meets with dreadful punishment. MMMMMMMMM post- master of Leeds, sold last week for more money than the house cost building a hundred antf twenty years ago. On Friday, the 21st ult. the following dreadful accident occurred at Winslow :— A party of Gen- tlemen having gone Out to shoot rooks, in a close contiguous to the mansion of W. S Lowndes, Esq, a boy vvas climbing a tree to seize a wounded bird. Mr. Hill, one of the parly, requested the lad not to get up the tree, and touched him with the uzzle of the gun. The piece unfortunately went off, and the charge entering Ihe bowels of the lad, killed him on the spot. Mr. Hill was so mucb affected by the event, lhat he has been in a state bordering on distraction ever since. « > mntifiic au3 fStisceUanroue. VELOCITY OF SOUND.— A paper has been read at the Royal Society, giving an account of some experiments lately made in Holland, on the velocity of sound, by Drs. G. A. Moll and A. Van Beck. The experiments were made on the plains of Utrecht; and care was taken to annihilate the effects of the wind. The stations were 9964 feet apart; and the velocity ascertained by determining the interval between the flash and the report of guns, by means of clocks with conical pendulums, dividing 24 hours into 10,000,000 parts. The result was, that at the temperature ol 32 degrees, Ihe velocity of sound is 10,897 feet per second.— Chemist. BI. ACK AND WHITE MEN.— The American Dr. Dwighl records in llis travels in New England, a curious physiological change in ihe human species which fell under his own observation. He saw a negro iu Virginia, whose complexion, with- out any apparent cause or diminution of health, was gradually becoming while, and that not leprous or cadaverous, hut fresh aud healthy. According to the man's own account, the change was first perceived under and round the roots of his finger nails, and proceeded faster on those parts where the skin was covered than where it was exposed. I11 four years Ihe breast, arms, legs, and thighs had become wholly white; the hands, feet, and face, were hideously spotted ; the skin of the head, was changed in spots, and wherever it was changed, ihe hair had become straight and flaxen. Ill four years more the change was nearly complete. From the beginning he had been a hale, sound man ; and 110 change had taken place in his habits of life ; nor was be conscious of any peculiar sensation, except that where the discolouration was going on, the skin was in a slight degree more sensitive than elsewhere. The same process had taken place to the same extent in one civilized Indian, and had commenced iu three others. Dr. Dvvight infers from these, and similar facts, that the present difference of complexion does not prove ihe human species to base sprung from different stocks. He observes, that " the Jews have every tint of complexion, from that of Poland, Germany, and England, to those of the black Jews of Hindustan : and the Colchains, who were black iu tlie time of Herodotus, are now as white as Europeans." INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF FOR THF TOOTH- ACHF,.— A pill of opium and camphor, or a solution of camphor in oil of turpentine, put into the hollow of a carious tooth, affords almost immediate relief in tiie tooth- ache.—. Medical A dviser. THE MURRAIN.— The time of year is ap- proaching in which cattle are liable lo the murrain. The following prescription of an experienced farmer may not be unacceptable to some of our readers.—" When" the animal is visited by a swelling in the throat, accompanied with a gid- diness and stiff neck, which are always ( be symp- toms of the contagion, and which, if not looked to. will soon produce death, place it in a well littered stall, with its head fixed, by a halter, in a position fo admit the steam from a tub of boiling rain water up its nostrils for an hour, night and morning ; further, drench it, for six successive mornings, with three ounces of glauher salts dissolved in a pint or a pint and half of gruel. If the disease be laken in time, this treatment will generally abate the inflammation of the blood, and reduce the swell- ing in the throat, but leave Ihe animal in a very weak state, from which it will be soon recovered, by being first fed with warm mashes and giuel without salt ( a sufficient quantity of which, lo support nature, must be forced upon it, while being purged) and then with ground oats, or good clover or meadow hay. Though this remedy has not been infallible, it has performed many extra- ordinary cures." MANAGEMENT OF PORT AND MADEIRA WINES.—(" From the Uncycl. Uritt. Supp. vol. 6, pt. 2.)—" With respect to Port Wine, it is useful to he aware that it may speedily be rendered aged by- beat, and in this case it deposits its coat, and assumes the marks of old wine to ihe eye, as well as to the palate. One year will thus do as much for Port as five or six in the ordinary mode of helping., but the period of its entire duration will he com- Parati vely shorter. The etfccts of heat in maturing* ort have hitherto been a secret in the hands of a few. in America it is a well- known practice to boil Madeira wine, or to heat it to the boiling temperature, and the effect is to impart to harsh new wine the qualities of that which is ripe and perfect in flavour. This practice is applicable to Port. If newly- bottled wine be exposed to the sun, it shortly begins to deposit its colouring mat- ter, and improves in flavour, and even the rawest wine of this kind may, by heating it in hot water, be caused in the course of a day to assume the quality, which it would have had after many years of keeping. It is so far from injurious, as might be imagined, that it is a valuable secret, and as we believe one that is hut little known, even to those whose interest it is to give the complexion of old wine to new, and who generally effect this pur- pose in a fraudulent manner, by putting it iuto foul crusted bottles." [ It may not be uninteresting to our readers; to learn from the work quoted above, the fact that it is nearly impossible that an Englishman should obtain a bottle of good Claret in his native conntry, for it appears that of the first classes of this wine only 240 tuns are annually produced, and of the second only 425. It appears to be our lot to drink an ingenious " melange" of Vine de Grave, Bas Medoc, and Gros Bourgeois, which the French wine- merchants of Bonrdeaux are so kind as to medicate for the English taste vvith Benecasto and Alicant wines. The same trickery is practised with regard to Madeira, for which the coarse dry wines of Teneriffe and the Cape de Verd Islands are. so constantly substituted, that nothing is more rarely to be found at an English table than the genuine wine of Fnnchal. It may be useful to our readers to know, that true Madeira wine should be of the palest straw colour, vvith a slight degree of acidity in its odour; and that all those wines which are of a pink or reddish hue, are invariably the low- priced and inferior produce of Teneriffe, or the Cape Islands.] BANKRUPTS, JUNE 1.— Thomas Bolion, of Orms- kirk, Lancashire, tailor.— John Humble, of Man- chester, shopkeeper.— Elizabeth Todd, of Chorllon, Lancashire, cotton- spinner.
