For the g uidance of those persons who are nut of the reach of medical advice,, each packet is enclosed with full directions for its use. In cases of Fever it will often effect a cure in a few hours, especially when freelv given, and at the outset of the disease. It is administered with equal success in all attacks of Measles, St. Anthony's' Fire, Sore Throat, Pleurisy, and Rheumatism; lint as Colds and Catarrhs partake more or less of inflam- matory symptoms, this Powder is peculiarly effica- cious iu cutting short their duration ; which, however harmless they may be thought, often terminate iu Pulmonary Affections, the fatal consequences of which are but too well known. As an Alterative in Chronic Diseases, it is an admirable remedy. Dr. James's rVwifer continues to be prepared by Messrs.

TOWEIIS'S TONIC PILLS INVALUABLE REMEDY WE A K NESS in the STOMACH IT is a fact worthy of the most serious attention, that the disorders termed Btu- ODS and N ERVOUS, with their train of distress- ing symptoms ( such as Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Nausea, Pains, and Irregularity of the BowfcU), owe their origin, generally, to a weak aud deranged slate of the digestive organs. Giddiness also, and Faintness or Diz- ziness, and other sensations which seem to threaten an attack of Palsy or of Apoplexy, are not uncommon results from the same cause. The remedy required is one thai shall gently relax the bowels, and gradually re- store the tone ofthe stomach, and TO WERS's TONIC PILLS are confidently recommended. They are llie result of serious investigation, and long experience in medicine j and the unequivocal approbation of medical men, and others of undoubted eminence, with the great request llicy are in with the public, are proofs decisive of their real utility, and of the high estimation in which Ihey are held.

RUSSELL opposed it,-— Mr. GouLBUKN confessed all the manifold objections j to the measure*, but showed that they were overborne by the necessity of the act for the tranquillity aud safety of Ireland.— Mr. ABERCROMRY opposed the I bill, as tending, by its unjust oppressions and' uh- I founded imputations, to exasperate rather than to I tranquillize the country.— Mr PEFL defended the bill, which he showed to he indispensably accessary, j not only fur the protection of tli « magistracy and I gentry, but for that of' the humblest of the peasantry. 1 — MI\ TI* ANT and Mr. S.

HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY, - Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH presented a petition from I Mr. Robert Bell ( proprietor of the Weekly Dispatch I newspaper)., complaining that he had been sued hr J the Treasury for the defalcation of a person named I Workman, once a paymaster in the Briiish army, and I subsequently the American Chief Justice of Now J Orleans", for a debt incurred twenty- five years ago.— j Sir James Mackintosh expaiiated at some length j upon the hardship of visiting Mr. Bell with that loss j which was produced by the negligence of the Govern- J meul.— Lord PALMERSTON said that the petitioner I had been apprised of Mr. Workman's defalcation in 1808; which Mr. HUME, ou the authority of Mr. I Bell, most positively denied. auui'tl A.^ BUJCA. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH then presented.. according to a notice which he had given, a Petition, signed hy more than < » ne imndrec) of the first mercantile houses in London, praying for the recognition of the South American States. The Hon, and Learned Baronet introduced the petition by a long and eloquent, speech, in which he urged the immense resources and peculiar situation of the States of the South American Continent, the great extent of our com- merce with them, and the general principles of in- ternational law, as the reasons which ought lo induce Great Britain to recognize the independence of the South American Colonies. He approved of the general policy which had been pursued by the British Government, and avowed his confidence that policy would be maintained; and he observed, that his present purpose was to obtain from Ministers iin ex- I press declaration before tho rising. of Parliament. Mr. CANNING expressed bis gratification - at the manner in which the Petition was introduced, but felt himself hound to abstain front any explicit declaration on the subject. Hp explained, however, thai England was now free to act as she might t!) ink j proper; but intimated that a hasty recognition by England might withhold, for a long time, from the j late Spapj § h Colonies in America, the recognition of I the Mother Country, which, to the South Americans, I must be much more valuable, lie further stated, I that whenever the recognition takes place, it'will be J of such separate and distinct portions of South J America, as have made the greatest progress towards j consolidating, their respective fprins of ' government; 1 and that such recognition would not carry with it any j implied obligations of our making common cause, or J of co- operating with the States so recognised The , 1 Right Hon. Gentleman also said, lhat, although I Ministers had taken means to inform themselves of I tbe actual condition of thp respective South Atneri- I Cfin Governments, no inf « irui?) tiot) upon the subject ha- d yet reached then); that his Majesty's Govern- ment would, boweyer, ' stedl'astly adhere to the declarations it has made to Parliament on this sub. ject ; and that it bus a second time refused the urgent entreaty of Spain to become a party to Congress for considering this question. I^ F. GRO SLAVERY. Mr. Wir. BERFORCE presented * Petition from the County of Car low against Negro Slavery. He took the opportunity to. animadvert upon the opposition to the moral improvement of their Slaves offered by the West India planters. — Mr. BERNAL replied with some asperity, imputing the late disturbances in fhe West Indies to tbe arts of Missionaries.— CAN- >| SG deprecated tbe warmth exhibited by the l « i> Membeis who had just spoken,; but professed lo agree vi ith such as ihou<> i. t that the friends of the abolition of Negi; t>.

OR said, their Lordships were aware, that ill ihe case of Companies chartered by the Crown, should their charters nt any time become hurtful, they might be abolished under a proceeding by scire facia*: bnl if joint. stock companies should become injurious to tlie public, there was no way of abolishing them, as they were not liable to that process. Be should, therefore, in a future stage of ms Bill, propose tiie clauses necessary to render such companies as little injurious, or rather of as much benefit, to the community as possible.— Th Earl of ' LIVERPOOL and Lord IIEDESDALB agreed with tbe Lord Chancellor, that as chartered com- panics' could he voided if injurious to the public, it was requisite for tbe public security thai ibe clauses proposed bv the Noble and Learned Lord should be adopted, ' s'o that joint stock companies should he under n similar rostra nt. The Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill was read a thiol time aiid passed, lis provisions are not to come into operation until May, I8. i5. 1,0.( 1 HOLLAND introduced a Bill to allow the Earl Marshal of England and bis Deputy to exercise the functions of his office without being previously compelled to take tlie oath of supremacy. The general sense of the House appeared to be in favour of the Bill, though it wa « deemed too lale to pass it through the various readings this Session. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The Irish Insurrection Act was passed after a division, on an amendment proposed by Mr. HOME, of 52 to 14. . „ Mr. SECRETARY PEF.

MURDER.— On Tuesday night last, James Millin, assistant gamekeeper to Lord Churchill, the Ranger of VV- ychwond Forest, was fouud shot, and in- a dying stale, in a copse called Hensgrove. He w'iis able to slate that- be had been shot by some i. nnChers w hom he. did not know, and shortly, after- wards he expired.— A Coroner's Inquest has re- turned a verdict'of " Wilful Murder against some person Or persons unknown." Intelligence has heen received at Lloyd's, of the arrival, off Holyhead, of the Lotus, Field, from Bengal, hound to Liverpool. She sailed from the Kauri Heads, Feb. 14, and brings accounts, lhat Lord Amherst was in good health, and all quiet in the Cuiiipiiiiy's new possessions, but a war with the Burmise teemed inevitable. Mr. Chew, Bengal branch pilot, had bien seized by tbe Bur- mise, and sent up tb ihe capital Ammerupponrc. A large detachment of troops, with a Irain of a; tills IV, had marched towaids the Burraise frOn lier, aud il was reported the J3th Light Infantry, uoiler Col M'Creagh, were to pipcced thiiher by water from Calcutta. Ail articles of India produce were high, paiticulurly the finer soris of indigo, owing lo a great failure of tbe crop, which was only one half of former years. A private letter from Greece slates, that the Turks have effected a lauding iu Candia anil Negro, pout, but that at Ihe flist- mcnlioned place they were repulsed with great slaughter; and it was fully expected, that the utmost extent of the evil of itw .. f.- tf^ I i. t Tn, Li. l. troops, would be to prolong tbe resistance of Ihe fortress ot Negropoul. The Turks have abandoned all idea of invading the Morea this summer. By Ihe papers from the West India Islands it appears lhat proclamations have heen issued in Ihe name of the King, for tbe purpose of counteracting Ihe impression known to exist among Ihe slaves that orders had been sent out for their cmaucipa tion, declaring such impression to be erroneous, and enjoining lo the slaves submission to the laws and obedience lo their masters. From Ihe discussions which took place on Tues- day, relative to South America, there appears but Jitile doubt lhat his Majesty's Ministers have made op their minds lu acknowledge the independence of those Colonics in due course of time. Seventy- six Bills received the Royal Assent, by Commission, on Thursday. Amongst them, were the Bills making very important alterations and A most interesting. Meeting was held yesterday at Ihe. Fieemasons' Tavern, for considering the propriety of creeling a Monument to the late James Wall, lis, a tribute of national gratitude lo him w ho, by his genius and science, has multiplied the resources of his comilry. and improved Ihe cim- dilion jof all mankind T he Bail of Liverpool pies ( ltd, and tbe Meeting was attended by many persons distinguished for rank and science. The King, wilh that munificence which he always shevvs in every tiling that lends lo do honour to the ai ls, the sciences, and Ihe liters hi i- e of the country over which he reigns, subscribed £ 500 towards tbe proposed Monument; and nearly £ 2000 was subscribed in the room. [ Al the above meeting, the most complimentary tributes of respeel lo Mr. Wall's private ehara. ler and great intellectual abilities were paid by tlie Earl nf Liverpool. Sir Humphrey Davy, Mr. Boiiltou, Mr. Huskissun, Sir J. Mackintosh. Mr. Broughham, Mr. Littleton, the Earl of Aberdeen, Mr. Frankland Lewis, Mr. Wedgewood, and Mr. Secretary Peel.— Mr. PEEL introduced himself to the meeting as one of tbe numberless persons who hail derived such eminent personal benefit frnm tbe ingenuity of Mr. Wall— one, of lliose n bo lilid derived all their worldly prosperity from the industry of others; and added, that he should be unworthy the silnation be held, did be refuse to acknowledge bis origin nnd nbliun linn In him. He llien, in a very able speech, pointed out ihe great advantages thai have arisen from Ibe perfection lo which Mr. Watt had brought the steam engine. He entered at some length into a detail nf tbe great improvements and snviug of labour which the iipplicatiuii . of his inventions bad occasioned in the cotton manufactures nf ibis country, by which we had been enabled not only to compete wilh, lint to undersell tbefabrics of oilier countries, nntnith standing the advantages which I hey enjoyed from cheapness of labour. The Thanks " f tiie meeting were proposed to Ihe Earl of Liverpool^ fur bis dignified anil able condu in tbe eliair. This proposition was seconded by M r Wn. iiERpORCE, who paid some well merited conipli uieiils to tlie Noble Earl, and expressed bis lienrly concurrence in the ohjeci of tbe meeting, and tbe great satisfaction which he felt al seeing the Nold Earl preside there, as tbe avowed representative of oilr illustrious nlld beloved Sovereign, who bad at all limes evinced the deepst interest in the advance inenl nf eveiv branch of science, and in every thing which could contribute to the welfare mid happiness of his people.

By the formation of two new courts, and a complete revision of tbe regulations of Ihe prison, we believe we are warranted in stating that our County Gaol, as to classification and general arrangcmenl, now presents a inoslgratifying model for prisons of a similar extent.

This annual scene of festivity was intended to have been kept up with great spirit 011 Monday last; for which purpose, such of the Chartered Companies as had Arbours 011 Kingsland, with the exception of the Skinners, had made due pre- parations for Ihe day, by repairing those rural places of recreation, and by laying ill an ample stock of wines and viands, of which the Mayor and Corporation, & c. were invited to partake, os " in days of yore."— Our respected Mayor, Jonathan Perry, Esq. having accepted the invitations, in his turn politely requested Ibe attendance of several members of the principal families in Ihe town and vicinity, to accompany him 011 horseback lu Kings- laud, there to visit the Companies: in consequence, several Gentlemen of rank came to town 011 Mon- day for thai purpose; but the day was so extremely wet, that tile Procession, & c. was unavoidably postponed* until yesterday, at about half. past oue o'clock, when the several Companies under- mentioned proceeded to Kingsland in the following order :— MASTER CORDW AINERS, Preceded, first by their Beadle in livery bearing- a Battle- Axe, then by Crispinus and Crisnianus ( on led horses), with Music, Flag, ana Streamers. APPRENTICE CORDWAINURS, Preceded by their King- ( 011 a led horse), with Music, Flag, and Streamers. MASTER TAILORS, Preceded by two men bearing severally Swords and Shields and a third bearing a Battle- Axe, with Music, Flag, and Streamers. APPRENTICE TAILORS, Preceded by a Flag.

MASTER SADDLERS, & c. Preceded by a caparisoned led Horse, with Music, Flag-, and Streamers. The rain, which bud continued almost without intermission until the time of the procession moving for Kingsland, now ceased; the weather cleared up; and soon after two o'clock a numerous caval- cade, consisting of Ihe Mayor, preceded by llis Ofticers, attended by most of the Aldermen and other Members of the Body Corpcrate, and ac. companied by several gentlemen and principal Ira esmcn of the town, proceeded to Kingslaud, aud visited the several Companies in their Arbours, partaking of the refreshments provided by each. In the evening the several Companies returned in procession; and the whole passed off with the usual order and hilarity.— After the Mayor had reached Kingsland, and a great number of well- dressed and respectable persons had assembled on the ground, a heavy thunder- storm took place; the booths, arbours, & c. were consequently well filled; the weather, however, again cleared up, and all parties retired from the scene of festivity, but not without another sprinkling; indeed, Ihe rain seemed lo have determined 011 being an unwelcome attendant. • A similar occurrence, and from tile same cause, took place in 178( i, in the Mayoralty of James Holt, Esq.

Three, unfortunately, fell immediate victims to its overwhelming influence: the remainder were providentially rescued hy clinging to the drop bucket, by which they were all drawn out al the same time. Shrewsbury, Friday, June 18, 1824. SIR, Hearing " this day" the merry peal 011 St. Chad's bells, aud observing the laurel- crowned & weather- beaten Union Flag floating on the steeple of the same church, the above passage, of our immortal Bard forced itself on my ideas,— while a thousand proud and gratifying sensations flowed, atid I trust innocently so, through the various channels which memory has formed in my mind as in that of all the reflecting portion of the human race. Nine years have now elapsed since that grent conflict, on which depended tbe issues of a lasting peace or a sanguinary and protracted war ; — and how vast, bow varied, have been the scenes and changes of our national prospects and pursuits! What reason have we to be thankful to that all- bounteous Providence, who alone ordereth the affairs of communities and of individuals! Dis- affection has been scourged and almost annihilated — Agriculture has revived— Commerce flourishes- Taxation has heen reduced and is reducing— Employment abounds— Peace and Plenty have spread all their reviving influences over our happy Island. The day— the remembrances aforesaid— have con- spired to render my thoughts buoyant; and, on walking about my native town, how often have my cheerful ideas received an infusion of invigorating spirit 011 observing our amended and amending pavements, onr improved and improving streets, our public edifices beautified and under repair, and the cheering smile, arising from industrious occu- pation, 011 the countenances of a busy and contented population ! " Such," said I, " are the fruits of the valour of mv countrymen ;— such are Ihe honour- able and happy consequences of a continued state of national peace and safety." How many a Patriot would have cheerfully re- signed his mortal breath, had he been assured that such a happy state of things would, " in this our Hay," have been the inheritance of his posterity ! How many a holy Martyr and pious Reformer would have counted his life, his property, as nothing-, could he have foreseen that the glorious rays of Peace and of True Religion, would overspread our land, as at the present day, with their healing and benig- nant influences ! I do not wish, Mr. Editor, to indulg- e in rhapsody : we live and have lived in extraordinary times, and something must be allowed to a retentive memory and a warm imagination. When I read in your own and other Papers of some of my countrymen indulging' in wild speculations to the amount of millions on millions, 1 regret that they should be j so much deluded; but 1 derive one consolation from such occurrences-> they prove that capital, either in money dr in its equivalent representatives, is superabundant. This, I assure myself, is one of the happy results of national prosperity aud tran- quillity ; and I trust to the good sense of my coun- trymen, in the confident hope that their better judgment will devise some rational and national schemes for the benefit, not of foreigners, but of His Majesty's subjects, who have a paramount claim that ought at once to supersede the debasing views of avaricious dupes, of sordid aliens, of relentless Jews^ and of greedy stock- jobbers. How gladly do I read of new churches to be built, of canals about to he commenced or extended, of mines to be opened or re worked, of fisheries being encouraged, of agricultural produce in demand, of Commerce striking into fresh channels and extend- ing^ itself in old ones, of new towns rising up and of ancient ones enlarging and improving. These, I Mr. Editor, ore the glory of our land; they are objects worthy of Englishmen and of English capital ; and I hope it will not be considered pre- sumptuous in a humble individual recommendin some of them to more attention in this vicinity. The peculiar situation of Shrewsbury— its inland locality — must preclude extensive speculation, or lavish expenditure, on the part of its inhabitants : one fact will, however, as it is indisputable, lead to some rational conclusions: the population of Shrewsbury has very much increased, and is in- creasing, more especially in the extensive parishes of St. Chad and St. Mary ; and this circumstance should suggest to all the respectable inhabitants of those and other parishes the propriety of taking some steps with reference to their successors. We live not ror ourselves alone, but for each other and for posterity : unfortunately this is not always duly considered. The high rent of pews in the parish churches of this town, while it furnishes a gratify- ing criterion as to the habits of our people, f must convince every one that the time is arrived when some plan should be adopted for the gradual form ation of a fund, out of which, at a future period, provision may be made for the wants of succeeding generations by the erection of chapels of ease in our town or its suburbs. The annual appropriation of a moderate sum by the several parishes would in a few years accomplish, without pressure, an object most pleasing to the friends of religion,— as, I have reason to believe, however some may differ on points of discipline, there are few considerate per- sons that do not feel a gratification in knowing that new churches are building iu various parts of the kingdom, for the more especial accommodation of the industrious classes, and to meet the wants of a greatly increased population. Another point to which I would request notice is, the using means for preserving and procuring convenient paths and driving- ways in our enlarged and enlarging suburbs. I do not mean to propose the spoliation or abridgement of any one's right of property : but, I think I could point out several instances in our suburbs where the houses already erected, and the sites on which, there can be no doubt, dwellings will in a few years be raised, are so situate, that additional broad paved ways will be requisite for their commodious habitation. In more than one instance, the ancient harrow footpaths and driving ways that formed the communications, and along which ample space should have been left, have been closely walled in. Care should be taken in this particular, more especially by the parish officers and road surveyors. A small sum would, before building is commenced, compensate for pro- perty necessary to make a sufficient public road but, as our Committee of Management can testify, where buildings are required to be taken down, street- room is always most dearly purchased. I have some other topics in view, and to which I shall, probably, with your permission, call public observation ; but as I do not wish, Mr. Editor, to trespass on your columns by writing a letter that shall be as long as, or mistaken for, a sermon, I will for the present conclude, bysubscribing myself, A REFLECTOR. + On calling1 to recollection the many atrocious offences recorded in various London and provincial journals, I am of opinion there is one thing of which " Salopians" have some reason to be " PROUD:'* £ mean our comparative freedom from nocturnal depredation and glaring crime, Diocese of Hereford.

The arrival of all grain last week was very inoder. nte, and Ibe supply of Wheat to this morning's market was by no menus large; superfine samples obtained ready sale at last Monday's quotations ; but prices of tbe inferior descriptions are quite nomi- nal, consequently a large portion of such sorts re- maiits unsold. Barley coming very sparingly to market, grinding qualities are full is. per quarter higher, and tolerably free sale at that advance.— Oats, particularly fine fresh corn, fully support last week's currency; ill fact, such sorts as well as se- condary samples may, iu some few instances, be quoted rather dearer. In Beans, Peas, Flour, aud oilier articles, ihere is little or no variation. Current Price of Grain per Quarter, as under: Wheat.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, " Your Correspondent " S. E." has, in my humble opinion, been very judicious in bis remarks on the improvement of Wroxeter Church, particularly on the curious und valuable Monuments, w hich liave been restored, we may imagine, to more than their original splendour, principally under the direction of a learned Antiquary.— His remarks induced me to pay a visit to Wroxeter, nor were my expecta- tions, though sanguine, at all disappointed by the event.— Passing by St. Alkmond's Church, " soon after my return, I could not but regret the dilapi dated state of the handsome altar- tomb of the Jones's, standing in the Church Y'ard; which is left to reckless decay. It appears to me lhat if it had but the same attention bestowed upon it which those I have just adverted to have received, it would afford au equal treat to accidental visitors, aud to those of onr Townsmen who have a taste for Antiquities. — Although about twenty years ago considerable expense was munificently bestowed upon it by a representative of the family, it now appears to retain scarce a remembrance of bis zeal. Three of the shields are broken off, and two of them, I perceive, are missing ; the wire screen is completely rotten, and many parts are subject to a more rapid decay than their beauty deserves, or than Time, if restrained iu his silent career by tbe hand of Care, would be able to effect.

MONMOUTH WOOL FAIR.— It has been re- served for our columns to lay before the public the prices obtained for Wool in the various fairs by which the slaple manufacture of Gloucestershire is surrounded ; and as this is the first of these marts whence a knowledge of ils present value is lo be obtained, we have to state, that fine samples averaged from 15s. to 16s. per stone, and coarse wool, which was io the greatest demand, from 13s. to 14s. The quantity brought to market was equal lo that of the preceding year ; but the dealers were cautious in making purchases owing to the intended alteration of the duty oil foreign wool, and doubts as to the drawback to he allowed oil Ihe unmanu- factured on hand.— Gloucester Journal. The supply of horned cattle at Newcastle Whit- sun fair, last week, was not so abundant as usual; fresh cows and milkers met wilh a tolerable sale, but there was little demand for others. The recent horse fair at Rugeley, caused the shew of that animal to he small in number, and few sales were effected.— A countryman was tricked at this fair, by some tramping Hibernians, oui of the price agreed with one of lliem for a cow ; the man went into a public- house lo pay Ihe vendor, and oil returning lo possess himself of his bargain, Ibe beast was claimed by a set of fellows, no doubt connected wilh Ihe seller, who would not allow him to take it.

His Majesty was extremely cheerful, and passed the day in conversation wiih the select circle by which Ii as surrounded, or in witnessing the sports, to which was particularly attentive. Mr. Sttiait Wortiey had a long conference with his Majesty. during the and his Royal Highness the Duke of York and Lord Maryborough were repeatedly in his presence. The races for the day were extremely well con- sted, and afforded general satisfaction.

Of these eighteen twelve only came to the starting post, and Lord Darlington's Barefoot was decidedly the favourite. The whole field was backed only at wo to one against him, and the North Country biles were quite confident of success, and made a bold ffort to redeem their former losses. There were wo false starts before the horses went off, and these wo remained behind. The other ten kept their oiirse, and the burst up the hill with ten horses almost in line had the most beautiful effect. The favourite Barefoot, however, was soon left in the ear, and the Dnke of York's Orion, having gained he lead, kept il in fine style from tire distance post, and won easy. Before the Judge gave his decision- towever, an unexpected difficulty arose, Mr. Sharpe, by whom the start was made, announced that it was a false start, and that all the horses had not gone off. Mr. Sharpe and others were immediately examined bv Lord Maryborough, ihe Judge, and the Clerk of Course, and it was ultimately publicly stated that the start had been false, and ( hat the race must be run over again.— This produced a strange com- motion among the betters, aud discussions took place lo the effect which this second race w oil Id have the wagers. Some declared that all bets were of course off; while others, on ihe contrary, maintained lhat they remained, and would be decided by the event of the second race. Those, of course, who had been backing Barefoot were extremely anxious to escape ft'pm their engagements. At length the matter was referred to Mr. Stonff Wortiey, one of the Stewards of the Jockey Club ; but he fell himself incompetent to decide. A case hr" point was cited, ' ieb vyasa race run at Newmarket iu 1810, between Sir J. Shelley's Mocking Bird and Lord George Cavendish's Dimity. This was said to he a false start, Dimity was withdrawn, and Mocking Bird walked over the course. In this instance, the bets were all declared void. The question, which is oue of considerable importance to the sporting world, was at last referred to the Jockey Club. It was even betting that the bets were to be decided . bv the coming race, ami odds were offered to be taken that they were off altogether. Time having been allowed foi; the horses to prepare for their-- second start, ho ittisfrHanroue Entriliffcitre.

Without tranquillity of mind it is in vain to expect health; and what flunking being can enjoy tran- quillity of mind, while lie reflects that death may, ia an instant, plunge into misery those aioi^ id him, his contribution to whose happiness has constituted a large part of his own ; yet how many, after hav- ing endured toil and anxiety for years, to accumu- late the means of providing for their families, friends, aud dependants, from neglecting to devol a few hours to the arrangement of their affairs have frustrated the purpose and intuition of a long life of labour ? The aversion that persons have to think at all upon this subject is. no less true than strange ; this must arise from a want of consideration of the im portance of the act to themselves, as well as to those who are dependent upon them ; the general inat- tention to this subject can only be attributed lr> the truth of the observation of the poet Young, that " All men think all men mortal but themselves." It is difficult lo suppose any rational creature so voiil of consideration, as to postpone the arrauge- mentof his affairs, because he is young and healthful. " lie wise to- duy, ' tis madness to defer." This most important business can only be done properly when the mind is at ease, and undisturbed by auv'anxieties about the body ; it will be suffici- ently disturbed by contemplating the awful event at a distance: what a tremendous irritation must it not produce, when postponed till—" the last hour!"

Even when the disposal of property, which the law makes ill case any one dies without a will, is exactly what the person wishes, still who would forego the satisfaction of leaving that consolation to his relatives, arising from their conviction that the provision made for their future comfort was also the premeditated desire of him for whom they mourn ?

LOCK R ' V. O'ENNHK; Sir JOHN NICHOL delivered nis jiVdgm'cVil in tins case,— The deceased was formerly married to a per sou named . Clinch, vvlio, as a eonebmaker, had amassed considerable property, the whole of which, at his death, he In quealhed to her ; she resided many years at Farnham, and was a very illiterate woman; in IB 10 she married Dr. Locke, Who was embarrassed circumstances, and who seemed both at and after'the marriage to have had 0<> other object i'n view hut the possession of her money ; she, bow ever had a marriage settlement executed, by which all her property was placed iu the hands of. trustees f her ui> e, except the. sum of « £ 300( Vor £ 4000, w hich she gave to her husband, thereby reserving the same power of disposing of her property at her death, as if she should die a widow. Shortly after her mar riage she made a will, by which she devised all her properly to her poor relations. On the 13th June, 5811, she made another will, giving £ 5000 stock between her four brothers and two sisters, and the interest of £ 0500 to her husband, for life ; by a sub- sequent codicil she revoked the bequest of the inter- est of £ 6500 to her husband, and gave him in lieu a legacy of £- 2000. In May, 181( 5, she executed will of quite a differen1 character, giving Dr. Loc all her property, and appointing him sole executor on the 28' th May, 1819, she revoked tbe former wi' and executed another, hy which her property went chiefly to her relations, as shi' did not seem desirous that her property should go towards the Support of a young wife, if ever Dr. Locke should marry again ; in this will Mr, Den. ner was appointed executor, and in opposition to it Dr. Locke put in a will, besi date the 13th of June, 1819, the very day before th death of the, deceased, in which he is appointed sole executor, wilh the whole of ihe property, except a few trifling legacies to her relations. Now ibe question for the Court to decide was, as to the mode of procuring the latter document, which was all written by Doctor Locke, and signed by three of his servants, therefore a. greater burden of proof was necessarily thrown upon Dr. Loeke, while the other document of May, 1819, was signed by respectable and disinterested persons. The Learned Judge read over a great portion of the voluminous evidence, and commented upon it as he proceeded. Ho observed it was clear that Mrs. Locke had I> een influenced to make some of ihe wills ; aud that in one lett< written by her direction ( as she was unable to write) to her professional adviser, alluding to the will favour of her relations, she begged him not lo let Dr. Locke know she had executed such a document, f> r if he knew of i', he would compel her to one more iu his favour. It also appeared that the deceased was in a very low state from the $ Ui of June, 1819, until her death, and lhat her'capacity, was too much impaired to execute a testamentary document only the day preceding her death. On the whole, the Learned Judge observed that be could not help thinking that Dr. Locke had so contrived the transaction, as to give it every appearance of fraud ; he therefore was b uind to decree probate of COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 12. THIS DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND V. CLOWES. Mr. TINOAL opened the pleadings. The plaintiff cp hi plained of being1 disturbed in the occupation and enjoyment of hisbouse by a steam- engine erected by the defendant, who had pleaded " not guilty." " Mr. Serj ant VAU. GHA. V, who, with the assistance ivf: fti r. italoe, conducted the plaintiff's case, stated, thai ibis was.. an action which his Grace the Duke of N'ti tliuioiierland had been compelled to bring against the defendant, in Older to suppress, by the Verdict of a jury, a nuisance, by which his. enjoyment of the nobie mansion he possessed was disturbed. The iioble Duke and bis ancestors had long enjoyed tbi: mansion, and as his enjoyment was no. to for the first time . disturbed, lie had found it necessary to seek a remedy by action. It would be shown on this in- quiry," that continued volumes of offensive smoke were continually issuing from the " defendant's ehim ney ; that, iu consequence* the Duke's premises were covered wilh soot; and that, by the working f tiie engine, his well had repeatedly been drained of its. water, so as not to . leave a sufficiency lor the Mipply'of the family. The defendant wan a printer icing close to the premises of the n< oble Duke id the'engine he bad erected was undoubtedly pu up. for the purpose of carrying on his trade ; bu litl, as a British jury - would not give their verdict- to in merely beCanse he was wealthy and noble, so. he other hand, they would not" think him tbe less entitled to it on that account. It was, undoubt- edly, a favourable position, that a man might do what he pleased with his own property^; and that was strictly true, provided one qualification was added— namely, that in suiting his own pleasure or convenience, he did not trespass on the comfort o: convenience of others. The first time that tbi nuisance hod been observed was in September last when the family were out of town, and when one of the noble Duke's establishment was disturbed in his bed by the active operation of the steam- engine,- the boiler of which caff in contact with the parfy- WaP of the mansion. The noise had not been inappro- priately compared ' to a threshing machine, to distant thunder, or the rumbling of waggons. It sometimes commenced at eight in the evening, and continue ill night, The blacks sometimes fell iu such quail lilies as to cover the pavement and enable any person to write his name, fie should observe here, that Unquestionably fbe defendant had, in some degree, lessened tbe nuisance, by raising his chimneys, an that he Was saul now to use coke instead of coa Still, however, coal might again he resorted to, an the question Was, whether the Dnke of Northumbe land, who had laid out nearly £ 100,000 in repairin nd beaulifving the mansion, and had employe great, numbers of English artisans iu \ U . should now be driven from it, or continue to inhabi it after all his comfort and enjoyment had been destroyed. The common defence, that the plainti had come to the rr'nisanec,- could not he set up in th as t he plaintiff and bis ancestors bad enjoyed the mansion for a period of more than 200 yea before that time it had been possessed by tbe Earl of Northampton, fn facf, the fury must know that it had formerly stood alone in the midst of fields, when London hail not as yet extended to its present untie size. He should prove the facts, and call fin life jury for a verdict, though be should not ask for heavy damages ; as the object of the plaintiff was not pecuniary compensation, but the undisturbed and commodious enjoyment of his mansion. Several witnesses who were acquainted with the- mansion of the noble plaintiff, bore testimony to ilie annoyance the steam- engine Occasioned. The gardener was called, and he said the blacks fell in showers, li- ke a shower of snow i and had he not actively employed his garden- engine, the plants would have been burnt up. Mr Jonathan Parkins, clerk of the works at No< tbuuiberland House, said, that upwards of £ i00,000' ha< l been expended by his Grace iii erec- ons and emhelli'^ hmenLs Within the last few years ad found the pumps dry ; and upon inquiry learnt ( hat the defendant had got a steam- engine. lie went to the defendant's, and found that a deeper well than the Duke's had been sunk by him, which drew the water from the Duke's well. He had no doubt of this fact, because the Duke's pump was dry of a Tuesday morning after the defendant's engine had been work, iug- all the Monday night. He was the person who broke a hole, through the Duke's wall, which divides the Duke's premises from the engine- use of the defendant. The steam- engine of the ieleudaut was adjoining the outside of the wall. Some time alter the wall was perforated, tbe boiler f the defendant boiled over, and the water flowed through the hole into the- Duke's stables. the ATTORNEY GENERAL.— Yon should not have made tlie hole. Cross- examined by th; e Attorney General.— The kitchen eh i mules of the Duke are within ten feet. of. ihe defendant's premises, and the smoke from them, when the winrt is in that direction, blows the blacks • » gainst the defendant's windows, where his sheets of paper are hung to dtv. Tlie Duke's wall is seven feet six inches higher than ilie defendant's premises. The ATTORNEY GENERAL.— Yes, and shuts out his light. William Parsons, engineer, in October last had his attention called to the defendant's engine, aud saw smoke issuing at various times from bis chimney ii) thick volumes, and heard a noise caused by the friction in the working of the engine. He had bserved a deficiency of water in the Duke's well when the engine was a » work. Aii argument was raised upon the question of the Duke's exclusive right to the water, and tire legality of the defendant depriving him of part of it, by draw g it from the spring vvitfthissieam- etigine. Tbe LORDCUIEF Jus'HCE said, that iinlesss the Duke could show that he had any grant or prescriptive ight to tlie use of this water, it was evident th defendant had as much right to dig a well on his round as the Duke had to dig one on his. Other evidence being called on the part of tbe plaintiff, a proposition was made to refer the cause, which was objected to. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL then addressed the jury, and said he should call evidence to show that, the sound of the engine; could not be heard in North uinberland House, and that the smoke arising front tl'je ehiu'tnies in^ the noble Duke's mansion was much yifTit'er than was caused bv the defendant's engine. He should prove that the defendant had burnt coke for the last three months, and no smoke arose above ihe chimney. The noise heard on the Duke's pre in'ises was stated to he continuous, which was easily accounted for, as the mansion was situate at tbe omer of three of the largest thoroughfares in Lon- don, and the continuous ' poise was caused by tbe rriages passing; atr'd this fact put him in mind of an anecdote Wliieh he would relate to the jury, as it An Irishman came lo London, Jury then found a verdict for the plaintiff, by which is legal title to" that pari of the Ranelagh property ested in the General at the time of his death was { firmed. bore oil- this case and parted wilh Iris Cockney cousin at the corner of Northumberland House, intending to go up St. Martin's- lane ; his cousin went into the city, and returned a few hours after to goto his dinner, and found bis Irish relation where he had parted with him. " How is it you are here ?" cries he, u Oh, hy cries the Irishman, 4 » I have not been able to crosis the road for coaches since you left me." ( Laughter. J He ( tbe Attorney- General) proceeded to comment upon the evidence, and said that h should call witnesses to disprove it. At the suggestion of the Court, a reference was again proposed; and, finally, it was agreed to take a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ 1000, subject to Mr. Selwyu's decision, who was to he empowered to remove the engine if the nuisance be not otherwise abated ; and if the engine be removed, to aflix value upon the defendant's premises, aud the Duke to have the option of purchasing the same.

On looking round, I beheld the headless trunks of ury friends. 1 was bound and conveyed towards their camp." CAPE COAST, FEB. 23.—" Sir C. McCarthy, with a few regulars and militia, and some of the natives, made a rapid advance into the Wassaw country, to repel the Ashantees, who advanced in great num- bers, aud in the most gallant style. The attack commenced about two o'clock, p. m. on the 21st of January, across a river about twenty or thirty feet wide. The firing Was tremendous ou both sides till six p. m. when it was found the ammunition on our side was all expended ; on which the Ashantees began to cross tbe river in great numbers, and the havoc began. The natives of- our party {( lie Fan tees) would never carry bayonets; hot the regulars and militia used them with the most deadly effect. Each one bayonetted three or fo ii r As ban tees ; t h e h, s n a t c |) i n g the bayonet front the musket, they dashed into the middle of the enemy's force,. falling nobly and killing II the last. As his Excellency aiild Staff COM- meiiced retreatiirg, they were attacked in the rear| Jj) y about 2,006 of the enemy, who had been sent round to intercept them, after which nothing eevtuin lias been learned o. f any of the whites. Only two officers escaped out of the battle, who were Krigade- Major Hicketts and Lieutenant Eiskine. Those that are missing are his Exceliency Sir Charles M'Gartbjy, the Hon. Mr. Buckle, Messrs. Wetherell, Williams, Peddle, Jones, Raydou, Robertson, Tedlie,. Bran don. There is not a doubt of his Excellency and most qf fheni being killed. It is said their corpses were used Ihe most shocking manner. It is pretty well ascertained that Williams is a prisoner. Thus in one day has the sword cutoff what disease left. The most lamentable part of the catastrophe is, hat it was caused in great measure by the neglect of the officer who had charge of the ammunition, and id not. biing it forward as he ought: the Ashantees never would have broke our line had there been powder. When Major Rieketts went to open the hree last kegs, lie found— what think yon ? Why macaroni ! .'/— while the Ashantees, who plundered the camp next day, took ten bushels of ball- car- tridges, with a great quantity of other booty. When ot the news of Sir Charles's fight, we retreated irectly; Captain Lang going to Cape Coas), by he way of Anuamaboo, while I, with Mr. Fraser and II tbe Fan tee force, marched across the country to reinforce Major, Chisholm ; but when Captain Lang rived al Annamahoo, the reports from Cape Coast were that the Major and his party were also cul to pieces, and he sent expresses after me to fall bac- k and garrison Cape Coast, as the panic was sq great, nd an attack dreaded. I shall always recollect with pleasure fhe reception I met with when the standard was, seen advancing over the rocks, and the bugles playing ' Over the hills and faraway.' The whole town appeared mad with joy : such a day in a man'! life richly repays for years of pain. Fortunately, next day Major Cbisholm and party arrived, having never been engaged. I was Ordered to occupy the camp of Djguah wilh iny little baud of eighty ; none of the auxiliaries have come, up. Al! trade is at a complete stop ; every merchant's goods are deposited in the forts, which I have tio doubt we shall have to defend till we hear from England, as the Ashantees will no doubt make a push to destroy us before supplies can come out. The short of the matter is this,— Epgjarid must either now w ithdraw her protection to this coast, or send out a'foi. ee to put down as cruel an enemy as the world produces. The loss of the merchants is not to he calculated, such a quantity of goods being on baud." Another letter of the same date says— The battle took place on the 21st, and we did not hear of t until the 23d ult. Poor Mr. Heddle was the first that fell ii sacrifice to these dreadful barbarians, H was shot through both' bis knees, anil in that stat lie killed with his sword two of the enemy. In a short time after a party of the Ashantees came to cut off his head, when he shot himself in the.. heart. The officers who returned wounded are Major Riekett: and Ensign Erskihe. It is said that the heads of those unfortunate gentlemen are carried to Com- massie. We expect the eneuiy to come down to attack this place, but if they do they will meet vvith warm reception, as we have the frigate Owen Glendower aud the Raven sloop of war to assist us. I have put all our property into the caslle for safety ; but. I do not think there is the least fear ; it is better, however, to be on the safe side, as the people at the Dutch fort of Elmina are supposed to be rather favourable to the Ashautees. We have blockaded it, to prevent any supplies being brought there. In fact, we shall never be at. peace, unlil Elmina is under the British flag ; and, instead of Government sending out a few white troops, they should send out three or four regiments. Major Chisholm is sending home despatches, and I have no doubt he has stated to Government the actual necessity of sending imme- diate relief." di- DOE DEM. IH'L. KELEY V. W1LFORD. This was a case to determine whether the plaintiff wa* entitled to a portion of the property of the late General Wi I ford. The property in dispute bad at one time formed part of theTtanelagh property, aiid bud been devised with the rest, by the General to the defendant, who was his widow. After the making of the General's will, the Governors of Chelsea Hospital- applied to him to purchase a small part, about, seven acres, of that called the Ranelag' properly. In order the better to assure the title ihey required the General to pass a fine of tL Ranelagh property, which he accordingly did The General died shortly afterwards, not havin altered the terms of his will, by which the whole of his Rianelagh property had been left to his widow T| ie plaintiff, who claimed as heir at law, contended that by the operation of the fine, that part of the wi" relating to the Ra tie high property was revoked, was left in the same state as if the General had died intestate, in vyhich case it would clearly have de- scended to his heir at law.— The CHIEF JUSTICE made some strong observations on the conduct of the plaintiff, under' whose directions, and by whose a'lviee, the fine had been passed, and said, that although a Court of Law would not disturb a title founded on a fine, which was the great assurance of theJla.. uded property of the kingdom, still that th defendant might have recourse to another jurisdic- tion, namely, a Court of Equity, for relief.— The tion of natural breathing until signs of returning life appear, when it is to be gradually discontinued.-(- 4.

Rejected MeansH ol din g up by the heels- rolling on casks— emetics— friction with salt or spirits— injection of tobacco infusion or smoke- snuff— inflation of the lungs by breathing into them. Hanging.— I.. If a Medical Assistant be present, let him take a few ounces of blood from the external jugular veins; or employ cuppipg.— 2. The other methods of treatment ore fo be the same as those recoinniendeil for the recovery of drowned persons. Suffocation by Noxious Vapours.^ Sprink|& the face and the vvhole body with cold water, if its heat exceed that of a living person ;-^ bu, t if the body feel cool apply warmth gradually, anil use the directions under ihe head of drowning. A small quantity of blood may also be taken from the external ju veins.— Precaution11 is dangerous to sleep close room where clisirCoal or any other fuel is burn- ing, or upon a brick or lime- kiln. Oil, the opening of wells, cisterns, or any confined place where it. is likely that foul air may have been generated1, it is proper to let down a lighted candle, which, if it con- tinues to bum, will shew that the same may be entered without danger. Apparent Death by Lightning.—- Employ the means recommended for tbe recovery of persons suffocated by noxious vapours, and pass gentle shocks of electricity through the chest.— Precaution. In a thnnder- storm it is dangerous to take shelter under a tree, to approach any kind of metal, or to remain in a draft or near the fire- place. The safest way is to remain in the middle of the room, or, if in the open air, to lie down On the ground. Treatment of Htill- borh Children.— 1. Clear the mouth and nostrils, and delay the division of the navel string till its pulsation has ceased.— 2. If the child has been removed, and does not breathe,, intro- duce air gently into the lungs by bellows ; and when' the chest is a little raised, then stop the, bellows, and make gentle pressure upon it.. Continue th is process till natural breathing commences. Gently rub the body with warm flannels until you can place it iu warm water up to the neck. Treatment of Persons Smothered,— If the body be too hot, as is commofily the case, expose it for a short time to a stream of fresh air, and sprinkle a little cold wafer on the face and breast; then throw- air gently into the lungs, as above recommended, and adopt the means employed for the recovery of the drowned. • Frost.— 1. Take the body to the nearest room without fire. Rub it steadily with snow or cold water. Attempt warmth and artificial respiration by slow degrees, in the manner directed for the reco- very o. f drowned persons.— 2. When the limbs only are affected by the cold, they should be rubbed getitly with snow, or bathed in cold water with ice in it, until the feeling and power of motion return; after which the bathing, or the rubbing with snow, is to be repealed once every hour, and continued a longer or shorter time, as the pains are more or less violent. . Injury from Fire.— 1. When the clothes of females or of children have taken fire, cut them off behind, from the bottom to the top.— 2. To extinguish the flame, roll the body in a carpet, or cover it closely with any kind of garment which is at hand.— 3. If faintness, coldness, or shivering be present, adminis- ter warm wine- whey, or weak spirit and water, till the arrival of a Medical Gentleman, Prevention of the Effects of Drinking Cold Li- quors - r- I. If the disorder incident to drinking cold water has been produced, the first, and in most instances the only remedy to be administered, is sixty drops of laudanum in spirit and water, or warm djink of any kind.— 2. If this should fail of giving relief,' the same quantity may be given twenty minutes afterwards; When . laudanum cannot be obtained, rum and water^ or warm water, should be given. Vomits and bleeding should hot be used vv it bout medical ad vice.— Precaution.— A void d ri n k- ingwhen the body is much heated, and let the water remain a short time in the mouth before it is swal lowed. Prevention of the Effects of Intoxication.— Re- move every tiling from around the. neck, and unbut- ton the shirt. Keep the body cool, with the head and breast elevated. Endeavour to excite vomiting as'soon as possible, by administering a tea spoonful of flour of mustard mixed with half a pint of water, apd tickling the throat with a feather. Obtain im- mediate medical assistance. Prevention of the Effects of Poison.— Procure the attendance of a Medical Practitioner as soon as pos sible, and in ihe mean trme endeavour lo excite vomiting by tickling the throat; and send for an instrument, by which the poisoh may be removed from the stomach.— Precaution.— Do not keep any poisonous ingredients without labelling them with the word tk Poison," and be particularly careful to place them out of the reach of children. Use iron and tin in preference to copper and brass vessels, Bite of a Mad Dog.— Apply to a Medical Gentle niaii without delay, and in the mean time wash the bitten parts with cold water. Precaution against ' Premature Interment.— In all cases after breathing has ceased, do not disturb the body, nor remove any of the bed clothes from about it, during six hours;— and if there be not a free current. of, air in the room, throw open the window, particularly in warm weather. In order to excite an earnest attention to the above methods, it may uot be amiss to observe, that in less th'aii fifty years the Humane, Society in London- has been the means of saving the lives of inure than 5000 persons. DIRECTIONS For the Recovery of Persons apparently Dead by DROWNING OR SUFFOCATION. Drowning. In all such cases, immediately dispatch one mes- senger for medial assistance, aud another to the nearest house where warm water, grains, embers, warm sand,. & e. may be procured ; with, a good fire and a warm bed for the reception of the unfortunate person. Be careful not to admit more than six per- sons, into the room at once.—- 1. When the body is taken out of the water, strip and wrap it closely in a coat, blanket, or other warm covering; and eonVey it geutiy to the nearest commodious house, with the face upwards, and the head and breast a little raised. — 2. When arrived in the. room prepared to receive it, place the body on a bed or mattrass heated by a warming- pan or by any other means, and during summer, iii the sun- shine, if strong at the time. Dry the body completely with warm cloths, and after wards rub it diligently, hut gently, with hot flannel's, on the left side, near the heart. Apply to the hands and feet cloths wrung out of hot water, or heated bricks; and bottles or bladders half filled with hot water, or bags of hot grains or sand to tlie stomach and arm- pits. Let a healthy person, of the same sex with the sufferer, lie down unclothed, on the ri'ght side of the body, and be employed in rubbing and aiding ihe Other necessary operations. If a tub of warm water be in readiness, let the body be placed in it up to the neck, and continue iii it half air hour, The water should not be hotter thai) can be comfort, ably borne by the assistants ; and the heat of all the applications before directed should be moderate. When the body is removed from the tub of water, it must be wiped dry, laid upon the bed, and treated according to the instructions already given.— 3. During the employment of the above means, insert the pipe of a pair of bellows into oue of the nostrils,, the other nostril and the ui& uth being closed, and the wind- pipe carefully pressed back by an assistant then blow gently till the breast is a little raised Let the mouth and nostril now be left free, and an easy pressure made upon the breast.

A Public Meeting of the most opulent and in- fluential merchants was beld at Liverpool On Satur- day week, for the purpose of petitioning the King in Council, for a recognition of the Independence of South America. The importance of the trade to this country is placed by the petitioners iu a strik- ing light, by tbe fact that Liverpool exports more Cotton Goods to Spanish America and Brazil, than to the tJnited States; and that in 1820, and the three succeeding years, no fewer than 756 vessels cleared out from that port for various parts of North and South America, formerly under the dominion of Spain and Portugal. { We understand that another estate in Fife ( Letham) has just upw been sold for £ 23,000, that a short time ago, the sum of £ 20,000 would have been readily accepted for.

On the night of Thursday se'nnight, a miner, named Thomas Front, belonging to the Friendly Mines, St. Agnes, was returning home from St. Agnes Church- town, and took the cliff' path, as lie conceived he should have better light in lhat direction than in the other. As he was passing over the site of a deserted mine, called Old Pink, he felt as if he had made a false step, and was immediately precipitated into a shaft, at the bottom of which is a large quantity of water. lie was not so s'uniied by his fall as to be deprived of recollection, and fell himself sink through the water; he rose to the surface, aud being a good swimmer, kept himself from sinking, whilst he felt about the sides of the shaft for a resting- place; he found, however, thai this was impossible, and he had no resource but lo fix his back against one of liie 6ides, whilst , he placed his feet against Ihe oilier. In this most distressing situation, immersed iu water lo llie hips, he remained from twelve o'clock al night, when lie' fell into the shaft, until seven o'clock ihe next morning. During this time, he was forced t » get his shoes oft', as he coold not keep his feet fixed at the sides of the pit whilst he had ihein on ; his hat be put behind his back, to prevent ihe side of ihe pit galling hiin. As soon as lie perceived tbe appearance of day, he began lo call for assistance ; and about seven o'clock, a boy passing to work heard his voice, and to his great joy approached ihe shaft. Pro ui slated his situation, aud begged him to make all possible speed lo solicit assistance from the first persons lie should meet, as he ( Prout) was nearly exhausted. The boy soon saw some men, who hastened to procure a rope, and the sufferer was extricated from his perilous situation in about half an hour after lie was discovered by the boy. He had received no other injury by the fall lhan a cut over one of his eyes ; but his hands, feet, elbows, and hack were much chafed bv his efforts lo support himself at tbe sides of ihe shaft. He was, however, able to walk home, and after sleeping- some hours, resumed his usual employment.

At this delightful season, any one visitin » Diversion, would he well repaid for his journey, by the sight of the sea gulls, upon ihe south end of the Isle of Walney, where they build their nests, and have young, for about five or six weeks in May and June. Their numbers are astonishing.— They make their nests upon the ground, at present cover- ing about three acres, and in some parts they are so near each other that it is impossible to walk without causing great destruction to the household of the feathery tribe. They seldom lay more lhan three eggs, and their young with the exception of the beak, greatly resemble ducks. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.— On Saturday, as a young man, named Perkins, was hewing an old pollard elm- tree, standing oil the farm of Mr. J. Saunders, at Lower Wallop, he discovered in the inside of one of the large branches, a living toad, about half grown, entirely enclosed by sound wood, with only an open space of about seven or eight inches to move in, and totally excluded from the open air. What renders the circumstance the mor curious is, that where the reptile was found was fuli 14 feet from the ground. The part of the branch in which it was enclosed projected, and bore tbe appearance of an excrescence, but still all the wood that surrounded il was sound. Notwith- standing the toad received a severe blow from the axe, it survived full half an hoar,—. Winchester Paper. HINT TO ENGLISH TRAVELLERS ABROAD.-. Last week a lady purchased a veil at the price of 30 juiueas in Brussels, and brought it to England gratified at the idea of having made so cheap purchase of what she considered worth more than double the amount. On shewing it to some persons she met in company in Devonshire, a gentleman present took out a magnifying glass, and on ex amining it, discovered in a private corner his own initials and private mark, which he pointed out to the lady, assuring her he made the veil, the j " price of which was in England 3 guineas!

When that ship was entirely dismasted, and otherwise disabled by the extreme severity of the conflict; the Cnptain ( the Hon. G. Berkeley), and the First Lieutenant ( Sir M.

At this time, the great north dock was constructing by Mr. Parlbv, the arch- itect, by whom the docks and public buildings at that place and at Portsmouth were erected under the direction of die Navy Board. " The good old King- ( Georg- e the Third), always interested aud inquisitive in tbe affairs of his navy, discovered, by the plans laid before him, that the builder was exceeding- the dimensions given him, and inquired the reason of this deviation from bis instructions. Mr. Parlby informed His Majesty, There are now among Protestants nineteen in- stitutions exclusively engaged in the propagation of Christianity among Jews, Mahomedans, and Heatheus. The contributions made among Chris- tians for these purposes within our United King- dom and the American Slates ( exclusively of what is doing in other quarters) exceeds one thousand, pounds a day. A letter fromZanfe, dated April 25, states, that after preparations had been made for conveying the body of Lord Byron to England, Lord S. Osborne, whose opinion on this subject was to decide the conduct of I hose who intended to show this respect to the remains of an illustrious man, had expressed in the most positive nianner his objection to tbe plan, and a wish, which in such case became a law, for the interment of the body at Zaute.— Evening Paper. A tradesman was served, last week, with a schedule to make his lax returns. In the column for noting the number of carriages with less than four wheels, he inserted " a barrow drawn by me in the garden with one wheel."

THE BEAUTIES OF SHAKSPEARE.— A small book entitled the Beauties of Shakspcare, was shown to Sheridan, who turned over Ihe leaves for some time with apparent satisfaction, and then said—' This is very well, hut where are the other seven volumes?'' CUWNING AND IMPOSTURE.—" No King was ever more absolute than Cromwell. He would observe, ' that he had preferred governing under Ihe name of Protector lather than that of King, because the English were aware of the limits of the prerogative of a King of England, but knew not the extent of lhat of a Protector.' This was know, ing mankind, who arc governed hy opinion, and whose opinion depends upon a name. He had conceived a profound contempt for the religion to which he owed his success. An anecdote preserved in the St John family, sufficiently proves the slight regard he attached lo that instrument which had produced such mighty effects in his bands. He was drinking once in company wilh Ireton, Fleet- wood, and St. John, great grandfather of the celebrated Lord Bolingbroke: a bottle of wine was to be uncorked, and the cork- screw fell under the table: they all looked for it, and were unable to find it. In the mean time a deputation from the Presbyterian Churches wailed in the anti chamber, and au usher announced them. ' Tell Iliem,' said Cromwell, ' lhal I have retired, and THAT I AM SEEKING THE LORD.' This was Ihe expression employed bv the Fanatics for going lo Prayers, Having dismissed the troop of divines, lie thus' ad- dressed his companions : ' These fellows think we arc seeking the Lord, while we aie only seeking a cork- screw.*" ANECDOTE OF COUNT DE LA LITPE.— This brave officer was in his day one of the most gallant and accomplished soldiers iu Europe; though his courage now anil then displayed itself in pranks which, in lesser men, the illiialmed might consider somen hat foolish " During one of his visits to Eng- land a friend ( Mr. Hamilton) was din ing- him in a phaeton nnd four dow n Henley Hill; ihe Count hap. pen ing- to move, Mr. Hamilton supposing him to he alarmed, desired him not lo he afraid ; upon which La Lippe quietly drew from his pocket a large knife, and cut the reins. Whether ibis was to shew perfect carelessness of danger, or satirically lo express that lie though! hiniself as safe after the " ri ins were cul us before, has not been told. In his own territory in German v, he amused himself with military nianceuvres and experiments; and one dav lie invited his little court and visitors to dine with him after a review. The diiyier was served in a lent on the ground ; and' towards the latler end of the repast, the Count was observed to look several tinies at his watch, and to put it up again, and call for another bottle : al last some one asked the reason of this? ( Why,' sairl he, I have ordered this tent to be mined hy a new method — it is to be blown up at a certain minute, and lam anxious to go out to see the explosion.' The tent, it will readily be believed, was soon cleared, without waiting for another bottle." JAMBS SCURRY — This unfortunate man was a captive ten years in the dominions of Ityder Ali and Tippoo Saib. He has published a narrative of his sufferings, and i n the course of it details such cruelties committed by the tyrant Tippoo, as it would seem impossible for one human being to inflict upon those within his power.— Tippoo, he says, was indiscriminate in his cruelties. The slightest offence or supposed offence was punished with mutilations or death : and not unfrequeutiy two or three hundred noses and ears were exhibited in the public market place. Many of the ship, mechanics who had been prisoners from the English were brought down from Seringapatam and employed in the arsenal, and most of them from time to time were deprived of their ears and noses, if uot of their lives. A Serjeant- Major in the Company's service 011 one occasion amused himself by taking a sketch of the surrounding scenery, and for this crime himself aud eight others belonging to his party were hanged on ihe same tree, Among the rest Dempster met with his due, and his fate was a source of joy to the unhappy wretches whom he had persecuted. For some cause which is not stated, he was piked to death in his but. In order to strike terror into the prisoners, nine large tiger- cages, each tenanted by a large animal ( one of which was coal black) taken in the Curakee jungles, Were placed opposite the Treasury. Before them the English were frequently paraded, arid in the short space of four months three of the Sultan's principal officers, his postmaster- general, his pay, master- general, and another, were thrown to them and devoured.— Amongst numerous other instru- ments, he had a wooden horse, of a full size, resembling those adopted for his cavalry, curiously and infernally contrived, on the saddle of which were nine rows of sharp spikes, about three quarters of an inch long. The machine was moved by springs; ami as soon as the culprit mounted, the horse, by some mechanism, would rear on his hind legs, and then, falling with a jerk 011 his fore feet, the spikes would enter the posteriors of the rider. The time of riding was proportioned to the crime; though it was said, that one of his horsemen rode this machine with such dexterity as to avoid the spikes, in con sequence of which he was pardoned. I have oft- times seen the horse, with its furniture, & c. but never saw a culprit on his hack, though 1 was at Seringapatam at the time that several were punished that way. It was removed when Lord Cornwallis took Bangalore.— But his most common mode of punishment was, that of drawing to death by the elephant's feet; the manner of which was as follows: the poor wretches ( for several were drawn at onetime) first had their arms tied behind them, above the elbows, and then a rope put about the small of their legs, which was fastened to the elephant's Coot. This being done, the criminals stood with their backs towards the elephant's poste- riors, waiting sometimes an hour for an order for their execution. The distance they stood from the beast was about six yards, and the first step the elephant took would throw the poor unfortunates on their faces ; thus they would be dragged over rough and smooth ground till dead, and with no faces left. IDLENESS.— Idleness is a two- fold sin; it uot only destroys time and prevents proper employment, but is the most certain method of receiving easily the suggestions of that wicked spirit who watches every opportunity when the mind is vacant, to en- deavour to instil into the heart thoughts subser- vient to the world, and which render tbe soul more liable to eternal perdition ; if through the malicious subtlety of Satan these thoughts do enler, it is decidedly best, at the same time that we repent our negligence has suffered them, not to entertain the recollection of them. several severe blows on the side of the neck, he was . that the French were lhell building, at Toulon, agisted home at half, past 9o clock, and, being with- ftrst. rate ship so large that none of His Majesty's out surgical aid, died about half- past four the next morning.

It will he scarcely less gratifying to the English reader, than it was to Mr. Parlby, to learn tha" the first ship ever taken into that dock was this very Commerce de Marseilles, becoming ours at the sur. render of Toulon in 1794."
