( j^ To obtain the genuine article; cisk for tf tallinSs Cephalic Snujf." About June, 1816, a Scrophnla formed itself in my right elbow ; I applied to two doctors, but in vain. In 1817 it also raged in my arm and right foot ; I applied again to a doctor, but to no use ; 1 then applied to an Infirmary, but they could not cure me. I went to the Doctor again, who candidly told me he could do me no good. I then tried the Infirmary again, hut I soon lost all the use of my arm ; the whole combined party being put to their wit's end, tried their experience, which put me to the most tormenting pain, and which deprived me of rest in the night. I begged to go out. I then went to n Surgeon, who told me it was the King's Evil,, and ordered me to foment it with herbs, which made me ii great deal worse, so that I was obliged to sit up in bed and hold my arm before me ; but providentially hearing* of your Drops, I tried one small bottle, and Found my arm better, and hy taking another it began to gather, and after taking five more small bottles I received a safe cure, T wish this to be published for the good of the World; lam well and hearty ( except a stiffness in my arm), and. can work at my business ; and I am very thankful to kind Providence, and you, for such a miracle.

The Gazette announces the appointment of William John' Law, Esq. Banister at Law, to he ihe additional Commissioner for the relief of In- Solvent Debtors. It appears from the Fiench Papers last arrived, that the budget is now under discussion iu the Chamber of Deputies. The expense of the Spanish campaign has been strongly condemned by the Op position, who charge the Ministry with extrava gauce and improvidence, After two days' dis- citss'on, the debate was closed on Tuesday, but the Cham her did not then come to a vote on the question. It is reported that Baroh Damas, the mister of War, has given, in his resignation, rather than ratify the accounts of the Commissary General Ouvrard, though the latter is much in the favour of the Duke of Angouleme.— Chateau- briand has published an article in the Journal des Dchats, condemning the past measures of the x^ Iihistry, the existence of which was supposed by some to he MI danger. They have been defeated in a case before the Tribunals, in which they be- came involved by their attempts to purchase the whole of the journals. This has strongly excittd the public feeling against them. Ou Tuesday morning, a duel was fought in a field near Terne, between Mr. Beeby and Mr. Finch, bath Lieutenants in the English Army : the former had for F- econds Capt. W—< n and Mr. B— s; t ie latter had Capt B— t and two French Gentle men. They took their ground at fifteen paces, and 011 the first tire Mr. Beeby was mortally wounded, the ball passing through his body and traversing the stomach. He died in the evening. The Hon. Leicester Stanhope is arrived in town from Greece. Whilst he makes no concealment of the difficulties with which the Greeks have to con tend, he considers it impossible for the Turks to meet with success in the present campaign. The pirates of Cuba have renewed their atroci- ties, and have captured a French brig and au American, near th; t island, the crews of which, with the exception of three, were all massacred. A meeting of the colonists of Trinidad has been held in that island, to consider the new regulations prescribed by Ministers for securing an amended treatment of the slaves. The circulars of Earl Bathurst have been received iu the island with much the same cordiality as in Jamaica, Baibadoes, and elsewhere; the planters, whose uneasiness is ex- cited by them, alleging that the restraints under which they are henceforth to he placed go at once lo depreciate the property, and to endanger the life of every while man in the West Indies. The colonists state, that after the island came into our possession, government made the purchase of slaves, and consequently the pursuit of the traffic, a neces- sary condition of the grant of the Crown lauds to each subject of the King who applied for them, and that therefore it has no right to impose re- traints beyond those in force when those grants were made. The Caledonia, arrived at Liverpool from De- nierara, whence she sailed on 23d May, brings 110 news; at that date the Colony was perfectly tranquil. Thomas Thurtell, and Snowdcu, were sen. tenced on Thursday, to two years imprisonment in Newgate, for a conspiracy to defraud the County Fire Office ofa sum of £ 1,913, by setting up false' claims of losses by fire to that amount, in the house 1) 3, Wat ling street, London ROBBERY OF EARL COWPER'S STEWARD.— Four men sent from Bow street to Hertford, on suspicion of being concerned in the above robbery, yesterday underwent examination before the Rev Mr. Lloyd. The moment Harris, alias Long Ned, was brought into ihe room, Mr. Haines, the Steward, declared he was the man with whom he scuttled, and, when he was overpowered, tied his hands, aud threw him on the ground. A shepherd and another man, who scufHed with fhe robbers outside the house, deposed to Davis, alias Thomas, being one of the gang. Long Ned seemed terribly depressed, as well as the other prisoners, who were all remanded till Tuesday. Bishop, ou his return to town last night, apprehended the keeper of the coffee- shop where he secured the prisoners. Mr. Gaselee, King's Counsel, was on Thursday informed by the Lord Chancellor, that he was ap- pointed lo the vacant seat on the bench of the Common Pleas. The vessel bringing home tbe body of Lord Byroti, has arrived at one of the out ports, and his remains will be shortly conveyed to town with the solemnities due to his rank and talents. In addition to the four Scotch titles recently re- stored, the ancient Earldom of Pantnure is also expected to be reinstated. The lineal descendants arc Mr. Maule, why now resides near Cork, and the Rev. Mr. Maule, of Cambridgeshire. The Chaplain Generalship of the Forces, vacant by the death of the late venerable Archdeacon Owen* has, it is understood, been offered to the Very Rev. Dr. Hodgson, Dean of Carlisle. A house is now erecting in Spring Gardens, for Mr, Secretary Peel, which, when complete, will present one of the most superb edifices in town A noble picture gallery is to be appended to the mansion, where the choice specimens of ancien and modern art, already collected by Mr. Peel at an enormous expense, are to be deposited. The Gazette of Tuesday night contains an order in council, suspending for another year the ballot for the inrolment of the local militia of the country AFRICAN OAX.— A correspondent requests us to warn those who, in the course of their business, bave occasion to work upon African oak, of the poisonous effects of splinters of it when run into the flesh. He states, that two sawyers in his neigh bourhood have died fromil, and that several others bave been laid up. A chymical analysis of the wood would put an end to all doubts on the sub jeet, and would, perhaps, save some valuable lives, We hope to see it immediately undertaken. Mechanic\ v Mar) a zine. PAUPER SETTLEMENTS.— It is recommended to farmers, that, on hiring a labourer, au entry should be made in a book at the time by the employer of the conditions of such service, whether by the week or the year, or for an indefinite period and what notice, if any, was agreed to be given on either side. This simple record may prevent parish lawsuits. RETAIL BREWERS.— On Thursday, at the Public Office, Birmingham, a Retail Common Brewer was convicted before the sitting Magis- trates, and fined in the mitigated penally of twenty, pouuds, for suffering beer . which he had sold to be drank 011 his premises.

Our readers are " aware that some sensation has been excited during the last two or three days, by the statement that the King of Portugal had made an application to his Majesty's Government for the aid ofa military force, and that this application had been . granted. * It was said by some, that vve were even bound, by treaty, to afford the required as- sistance, The'fact is, that not merely one, but several, applications have been made by his Most Faithful Majesty ; but, as yet, 110 decision upon the subject has been come to by our Government.-— With respect to any treaty, there is none existing hich imposes upon England any obligation of the ind referred to : we are only bound to assist our ancient ally in the case of actual invasion by a Foreign Power. The question however is obviously one of great delicacy and difficulty, and hence it has been made the subject of much deliberation.. Of course we need not add, that the statement of Hanoverian troops have actually sailed, or beinging about to sail from Embden, is a pure invention.— Courier. Advices have been received from Trinidad to the 22d of May. The Governor, Sir R. Woodford, had refused to receive the deputation to present the petition ofthe "- persons styling themselves the free inhabitants of the colony," praying him to stay the promulgation of the Order in Council. The Meeting had, he said, been convened without his auction, and consequently he could not receive the petition in any other manner than through his secretary. The Governor, on the petition being brought before him, through the medium of his ecretary, declared that he could not comply with the request of the colonists, and that the Order in Council must be carried into effect.

We have this week the painful duty . of- reppi'ding the hiss of several lives by drowning ; and v.; e fttke the opportunity of requesting the public attention, o the letter ofa correspondent on this lamentable ubject.— On Thursday afternoon last,' three youths, sons respectively of Mrs. Simpson, Mardol, iu this town, Mr. Griffiths, bookseller, Bishop's ' astle, and the lale Mr. Jones, baker, Mardol, went to the bathing- plate in the Severn nearly op- posite Gravel Hill; the two first- named went into the water; Jones remained on the shore, and haviiig. pulled some grass, placed it near the edge of the wafer, so that his companions might not soil their feet oil coming out of the river j when the wo boys were about coining out, the one splashed the other with water, which was returned; they appeared to be slipping, together in the water, and Jones thought they were playing, they " siink, • ose again, and then sunk to rise no more I— An alarm was given, but more than three hours elapsed before Simpson's body was taken from the water; the body of his alike ill- fated companion has not yet been found,— By this melancholy accident two respectable families have been plunged into the deepest affliction; and we are extremely sorry to say that we cannot here close our lamentable detail. We need not preface the following afflicting statement hy any expression of our sympathy with the friends of the deceased, because'it is impossible not to feel how violent must he the Stock of such an uulooked. for termination of earthly hopes and fond anticipations :— Mr, Joseph Hartley Wick- steed, the second son of Mr. Wicksteed, of this town, had been paying a visit of a few weeks to a fellow- student iu the Highlands of Scotland previ- ously to his finally quitting the University - of Glasgow, where he had passed several sessions, and had taken his degree as Master of Arts. His last letter is dated Tuesday, 22d June, from the Manse of the Rev. F. Stewart Craig, Nish Gilp- head, Argyleshire, aud stated that be should: set out Ihe following morning on his return home, making a circuit by Loch Lomond and Loch Kafriue,— Oil Friday last a letter was received from a Gentleman travelling in Scotland, stating the following circumstances, which giveail the; ioforma- tlon hitherto received : That on the evening of26th June, a young man answering to the description of Mr. J. H. Wicksteed, arrived at the House of Mr. James Stewart, at the Trossacks ; thai he left the house at six o'clock the next morning, and that some apprehensions were excited by his not returning. On the morning of the 28th " tlie clothes of a gentleman were found at the side of Loch Katrine, and from his shoes being discovered close to the water's edge, little doubt could he entertained that he went there for the purpose of bathing and was unfortunately drowned — the marks upon his linen, " J. H. W.," aud the full name " Wicksteed" upon his umbrella, could leave liltle doubt as to Iheir belonging to our amiable young townsman, and this little is com- pletely destroyed from his name and residence being entered at full length in the visitors' book at the Tarbet Inn, Loch Lomond, where he had been. Mr. Wicksteed was 20 years of age. CHESTER.— Frightful andFatal Accident.- A catastrophe took place on the night of Monday week, which has thrown a deep gloom over the whole neighbourhood. It has been a custom on the anni versary of that day, to have a sort of Regatta on the Dee, at the Lower Ferry House, kept by Mr. Arthur Gregory. On tbis occasion tile company were drinking and dancing till a late hour. About eleven o'clock, the tide running wilh great irn^- tuosity, a boat, containing fifteen or sixteen per- sons, pushed from the shore with the view of crossing, and in awkward attempts to evade the power of the tide, they were driven with such violence as lo stove in the side of the boat against a sloop, and the passengers were instantly over- whelmed. Only four, chiefly boys, were saved. Among the victims were two very fine young women, listers. Several of the bodies are found, and it has been a painful scene to witness the dis- tress of the anxiously- waiting relatives.— No blame whatever is attributable to the Ferrymen: they gave every caution previous to the boat leaving the shore, hut all to no effect; the thoughtless people on board rushed on to destruction. Oil Sunday last iu the forenoon, the curiosity of a great number of people was excited at the Prince's dock, Liverpool, by a dog attempting to seize a bottle which floated ou the surface of the water, and which had been thrown in to afford sport. To obtain a favourable view, thirty or forty persons had placed themselves upon a board or platform which communicated between two vessels in the dock, when the board broke in the middle, anil precipitated them all into the water. Of course the accident excited immediate alarm, and pro- duced instant exertions ; boats surrounded the struggling creatures, and numbers were. picked, up, without otherwise suffering than by sustaining fearful apprehensions and a severe ducking. But we are sorry to add, that five of the number were taken out of the dock quite dead ; aud two ap- parently so, who were, however, restored to ani- mation by the employment of the means recom- mended hy the Royal Humane Society, LIVERPOOL, JUNE 29.— On Tuesday last the lifeof an individual was saved by the timely appli- cation of Ihe recently discovered apparatus for re- storing suspended animation ; several sets of which have been provided by the Humane Marine Society, The man was taken in a state of insensibility to one of the houses where the pumps are deposited ready for emergencies.

BARONY OF STAFFORD.— Sir George Jerning ham, Bart, now Baron of Stafford, is the eighteenth in lineal descent troni Edmund, Baron de Stafford, who was summoned to Parliament in the 27th Edward 1. ill the year 1298, and the fifth from Mary, Baroness of Stafford, whose husband, Wm Viscount Stafford, was unjustly attainted and beheaded in the year 1680. This amiable and un fortunate noblemau was the only one who ever bor the title of Viscount, which was conferred upon In HI by King Charles I. for Iiis eminent loyally, and upon his death became extinct. King Jahies 11. instead of reviving that title, created Henry Stafford Howard ( the eldest son of the Viscount) Earl of Stafford, with remainders to his. two younger brothers and their respective male . issue, and gave the Baroness, their mother, the rank of a Countess, and to her younger sons and daughters1 the same precedence as Earl's children. From this time, the Earldom and Barony continued united in the same person until the year 1762; when upon the death of John Paul, Earl of Stafford, without issue, the Earldom became extinct for want of male issue, but the Barony survived, being limited to the heirs general : Sir Geo. Jerningham's pedigree as heir general, has been proved and admitted befor the House of . Lords; and the only possible obstacle to his right to the title of Barou of Stafford, is now removed by the Act of Parliament, recently passed for the reversal of, the attainder of Viscount Staf- ford.

THE KING.— Windsor, June 28.— This morn, ing his Majesty arrived at the Royal Lodge in the Great Park, from Carlton Palace, in bis travelling carriage and four. The King was attended by tbe Marquis of . Conyngham, Lord Forester, and the Very Rev. the Dean of Chichester. Soon after their arrival at the Lodge, his Majesty, accompanied by Lord Forester, in bis pony pheeton, followed hy Ihe Marquis Conyngham and the Dean of Chichester in a secondhand attended by their out- riders, proceeded down the Long- walk, and through lite Little Park to I the Castle, where they arrived at a quarter after one o'clock. The King, without making any stay at the Palace, drove to the Royal Mews in St. Alban's- sireet, where his Majesty and party alighted, and inspected the whole » f the valuable stud of horses. Shortly afier two o'clock Iiis Majesty and suite re- turned through Sheet- street and the Long- walk, to the Royal Lodge, where they will dine. We never recollect to have seen his Majesty ill belter health. The SECOND NUMBER of the MONTHLY SHREWSBURY.

The most invaluable Cosmetic in existence is ROWLAND'SKALYDOR ; although of recent dis- covery, it has already become the indispensible Accompaniment of Rank, Fashion, Taste, and Discernment, throughout the British Empire, and is rapidly extending its renown to all parts of tl, e civilized Universe. Every possible refinement of Science is resorted to, by which to enhance the charms of Female Beauty, and lo possess the virtue of sustaining the reign of Loveliness against the nroads of Time, Climate, and Disease. This desideratum lias been effectually attained in Row. land's Kalydor. In all cutaneous blemishes, in- eluding Eruption, Freckles, Sun- burn, Roughness, Tension, Harshness, & c. the KALYDOR is pre- eminently successful in eradication : renovates the skin to more than pristine radiance, imparts the roseate hue of health, with elasticity aud ye I vet- like softness equally delightful to feeling as to sight, and preserves tbe bloom apparently of youth even maugre the consciousness of age. These are incon- trovertible facts proved by daily experience, on the test of which Messrs. ROWLAND cheerfully rely, satisfied that the celebrated KALYDOR, as a Cos- metic of vital importance to Ihe preservation of personal attraction, is unequalled by any other in existence such sorts are quite nominal.

SIR,— Scarcely, has a month elapsed since your valuable Journal noticed the loss of two persons, the one a most promising youth, in Sabrina's rapid stream ; and two more, perhaps equally promising, bave been swept away whilst enjoying the pleasures of bathing. Surely, Mr. Editor, the frequency of these melancholy occurrences, which indict upon the suffering families so much and such painful affliction, will rouse the inhabitants of Shrewsbury to a sense of their duty, and impress upon their minds the absolute necessity of adopting every measure calculated to afford the probable means of rescuing the bodies of such individuals as may unfortunately be overwhelmed in the devouring element, in time to afford a chance of restoring animation. Upwards of thirty years ago there was, if I mis take not, a branch of the Humane Society estab- ished in Shrewsbury, and at its establishment a sermon suited to the occasion, and to the be- nevolent object in view, was preached by the Rev. Mr. Gilpin ; a collection was made, and subscrip- tions were entered into. This institution has, how- ever, from some cause or other, fallen into ob- livion; but at the present day I feel confident it might easily be renewed. There is certainly riot less humanity, nor less feeling, nor less spirit and liberality in tbe town now than there was then ; and sure I am, if the business were once entered upon, there would be no lack of subscriptions for so desirable an object, nor would any clergyman of any denomination refuse bis aid in furtherance of an undertaking so benevolent and praiseworthy. I have little doubt but that a fund amply sufficient to re- establish the Society on a proper footing might be raised in a few days ; and there are amongst us many gentlemen and ladies whose liberality iu such : i case would not rest satisfied with a mere mo- mentary subscription, but would, as a likely means of perpetuating the Society, subscribe annually ; added to which a sermon might be preached in one or other of our churches, and a collection be made. By these means not only would a fund be raised for iresent purposes, but also means be provided for lereafter affording such rewards as would incite persons at hand to endeavour, even at some risk, to rescue their fellow creatures from a watery grave, and from what to most persons is of still greater importance, the heart- rending affliction and awful occurrence ofa sudden death. The places most frequented by bathers, it is well known, are a short distance above and below the town; near each of these, therefore, should there be receiving houses, provided not only with every material for the more speedy getting the bodies out of the water, but also with every convenience necessary under the direction of professional gen tlemen ( who, I am happy to say, are in this town firompt in repairing to the spot where an accident las occurred), for restoring animation, by which means little of that momentarily important time would be lost. To effect these desirable objects, little is wanting but the exertions of a few respectable and active individuals; for, were a requisition respectably signed presented to our worthy Chief Magistrate, who has during his mayoralty shewn himself actively alive to every thing* having for its end the comfort and welfare of the town, he would not hesitate a moment in calling and presiding at a towu's meeting, where- the humanity and liberality of Salopia's sons would, I trust, shine as conspicu- ous as they have done on other occasions, particu- larly so when every one might say to himself, " Who can tell but that one of my own family may be the next sufferer?" 1 remain, Mr. Editor, your's, & e.

WOOL.— The quantity of wool brought to Here- ford fair, oil Thursday last, was considerably less than usual, owing, it is supposed, to the new wool fair established this ys r. r al Hay, Breconshire, to which place many growers of that and the adjoin ing counties sent their produce, instead of Hereford, as they were accustomed to do. Very few lots re mained unsold on the following morning. Coarse wool averaged from 12s, to 14s, per stone of 12flbs, fine from 14s. to 17s. and the Merino went as h as 2' 2s. To these prices the growers very reluc- tantly submitted. The number of cattle was 1111. usually small, in comparison of former years, and most of them were disposed of at their full value. Good horses are at prcseut very much i demand, and sell at high prices ; but there were not many of that description at this fair. All the sheep- pens were engaged at an early hour, aud a great many went off at satisfactory prices to tbe breeders. LTpon the whole, however, it was the smallest Midsummer fair for many years. The new fair held at Hay, Breconshire, oil Monday week, for the sale of wool, cattle, & c. was well attended by buyers, from various parts of the kingdom. The quantity of wool brought for sale was very considerable, and a great, deal of coarse wool was sold at from 13s. to 14s 6d.— the finer sorts obtained 18s. per stone of 12jlbs. The de- mand for fine wool was not considerable, 011 ac count of the unsettled state of the trade. It i: expected that the Hay will, for tbe sale of wool, become a mart of the first importance, arising from its superior local advantages. At Bridgnorth fair, 011 Wednesday, fat beasts ( to sink the offal) sold from 5fd. to 6d. per lb.; stores, and cows with calves, sold at rather better prices than at late fairs. There was a large shew of sheep; fat ones from fid. to6| d. per Hi. to sink the offal. The fair was thronged with all kinds of horses, and great numbers sold at tolerably good prices. There was a large quantity of wool pitched, great part of which was sold : average price 13s. 6d. per stone of 12| lbs. At Church Stretton Fair, on Saturday last, fine wool sold at from 15s. to 17s. and 17s. 6d. per stone, and coarse wool from 13s. to 14s. 6d.; the sale was, however, very dull, and _ a great part remained undisposed of. PERSHORF, FAIR.— The number of horses ex- hibited at this fair, 011 Saturday week, was un- usually large, but by far the greater proportion were of a second and third rate description, and we do not recollect to have seen so scanty a show of " tip top" animals at this important mart for many years. There was a remarkable absence of the London dealers, it is said owing to a conviction amongst them, which appears fo be well grounded, that there are so few good horses at the present moment in Ihe country, that the journey would be fruitless; such as were offered, and chauged owners, therefore, were principally purchased by private individuals, and the supply being much below the demand, hunters and hacks of style, and posses- sing the necessary qualifications, were bought up eagerly, and at long prices. Ponies were also much sought after, and weheard that in several instances as high as 25 and even 30 guineas were given for those which were handsome and in their prime. Superior horses of the cart kind also were disposed of readily, and the sellers had no reason to com plain of the terms; but for the inferior sort, and for the inferior hack ( except calculated for good stagers or posters), scarcely a buyer was to be met with, and, upon the whole, the business of the fair, compared lo former fairs, was very inconsider- able indeed. We are sorry to learn that there were several losses, and some to a serious extent, by the adroitness of the light- fingered tribe, who muster ed very strong upon the occasion. One individual, we understand, had his pocket- book, containing £ 150 in cash, cut from a side pocket. rHE last and largest Display of richlv Cut and best Plain GLASS will be exhibited for Sale in the I.

CHESTER FAIR. [ From the Chester C our ant of July 6.] Our great Midsummer fair commenced yesterday, or we may rather say on Sunday ; for although yes terday was the regularly appointed day, our York- shire and other horse dealers had not patience to wait the arrival of Monday, but sported their animals in style in various parts of the outskirts of the city on the Sabbath—- and, % e are assured, a good deal of business was done. We are only sorry these gentry did not meet their richl y- deserved merits, by being placed in the stocks.— The shew of horses at our fair is greater in number than ever was remembered, and a great majority of them of very superior quality. An expectation of selling at the late high prices induced this great influx, so that the market was completely glutted. The natural consequence was, that but few comparatively were sold, and at less prices than were anticipated. Of horned cattle, particularly of the Irish breed, both fat and lean, there was a very large shew ; prices looking downwards. There were also large quantities of pigs, and they maintain the late advanced price. Upon the whole, however, stock in general is evidently on the decline.— Our halls are well supplied with all kinds of soft and hard goods, but as the business of the fair is scarcely begun, no correct idea can be formed either as to the demand, or the relative prices. HOPS.— The hop market in our fair is flat, and prices lower; theduty stands at £ 120,000. But we hear that tlie latest accounts from she plantations are not so favourable as they were a week or ten days ago, and that the present weather is unfavourable.

IN RE THE CORONER OF Jf. VI. OP. Mr. HORNE stated that this was. a petition of 87 freeholders ^ ShropshireV prayin of the county be directed to make out a new writ: for the removal of Mr. George Jones from the office of Coroi> ef, and for the appointment of Mr. Samuel Philip Squtham iu his stead. It appeared upon tjiip petition^ which was verified by affi( lavitf that a yacan^ having: occurred in the office of Coroner for tlte county of Salop, an election had taken place as directed" by the Act 58th Geo. III.; hut: the petitionersccnnplained that the election was not irtfconfd? iiiilf- with the whole of the regulations of the Act^'^ rifciwo' respects : — lst. The postpone- ment of t^ eda^ y^^ the Court beyond tlie time ^ resoribed^' and, ' icily.. The refusal by the SheiW to allow a poll. With respect to the first point, it was ascertained that the writ was first - issued on > jthe. 25th March, and that the Sheriff adjourned the Court to the 28th April, which was a longer period than Was allowed by the Act. On the 2$ th April, how e ver, the freeholders attended at the Court, and two candidates were proposed, Mr.; jG6otge Jones, a surgeon, and. Mr. Samuel Philip S'diitham- a solicitor. The election, was declared in favour of. Mr. Jones, and a poil was demanded by the friends pf Mr. Southam.. The Sheriff absolutely refused to allow the poll, alleging- that Mr. Southani was ineligible, not being pos- sessed of sufficient property to qualify him for the office. Upon an examination of the Acts which regulated the appointment of Coroners, it appeared that iJT fact no qualification Was necessary.' It was, however, alleged, that the possession of a freehold, of the annual value of one hundred shillings, wits absolutely requisite. The two Acts of the ,7th and 8th William III. c. 25, and 18th George il. c. 18, were combined in the last Statute of the late King, | and no doubt could be entertained that the election was void, and that a new writ must be issued. Mr. TAUNTON, on the same side, took a view of the various Statutes which had passed from the ti me Of .. Edward I. tothe present day, with a view of she wi > th at no q na 1 i Scation of freeh, ol d_ pr ope r ty to ajcert^ in amount was now requisite to render any inian eligible to the office of Coroner. The first Statute, was that of the 3d of. Ed ward I. by which it was required that " the most wise, and discrete knightes" should be chosen to the office of Coroner. It would be' seen, therefore, thiat according to this Act no hoiiest country Gentleman or Esquire would be competent to fill this important office, and a Knight only would be eligible. Mr. Jones would be, therefore, as much disqualified as Mr,. Southam according to this Act, and it must be considered in the. present day as obsolete. The next Act, . the 14th Edward III. required a Coroner to possess laud in fee, if whereof he may answer to all people," and the 28th Edward IIf. declared that " the most meek and lawful to be found in the county3* should be chosen. The Learned Counsel next adverted to the authorities of Fitzherbert in his Natiim Brevium, and of Sir'. Edward Coke in his Second Institute, in support of the argument which He had'ad vanced. The latter authority had declared: liis opinion to be, that the tine construc- tion of thp, Acts of Parliament was, that all that was nieanjt, by the word "" Knight1' in those Acts was, they fcliould possess " sufficient land whereof ; to. auswer to the King." The Learned Counsel i feiiu^ ended " that the Sheriff was not himself competent to judge of tlie question of eligibility, and that the point rested entirely with his Lordship ( the ; Loru'; Chancel lor). It was to he observed, that no provision was contained in these several Acts; ' tiifit if such qualification did not exist, the election should be void. ThfeSbLieiTOR- GENERAL, on the other side, con tended, that ihe qualification of property of th annual value of a hundred shillings was absolute!, necessary. He referred to an Act, lst' Henry VM S by which it was directed that an u escheator" ua not competent unless lie possessed a property of the annual value of a hundred shillings. It was true that this Act did not include the office of Coroner by name, but the e^ cheator and Coroner had been combined in former Statutes, and it appeared that both required a similar qualification. The main ground, however, upon which the Learned Solicitor- General rested Ji is opposition to the petition was, that Mr. Southam had himself admitted his disqua- lification according to the Act 14th Edward 111. ' and had thu$ as it were actually withdrawn himself as a candidate for the office. This important fact \ vistinet 1 ^ proved by the affidavits of Joseph $ ofKer and otiiers, who were, present at the time. He contended, therefore, that the election could not now be disturbed Mr. SHADWELL appeared as Counsel on the part of the Sheriff, and was convinced that the affidavits would satisfactorily shew that the Sheriff had acted with the utmost propriety and fairness towards the parties. The Under Sheriff, whose legal learning, secundum subjeetam materiamf was by no means contemptible, was, it appeared, wholly governed at this election by the last edition, published iti 1822, of that well- known not to say learned work, " Impey's Practice of Sheriff, Under- Sheriff, and Coroner^' and in that book, the last Statute of the 58th George III. ( 1818), was wholly omitted. It appeared also* that thepostponemeht of the Court was in conformity with the proposal and request of Mr. Southam, alleging that April 28th was. oue of the days on which the Quarter Sessions for the said County was held, which would ensure a meet- ing of the Magistracy of the said county, and upon which many of the freeholders also would be in atfehdanee, and which day would prove more con- venient t to them for this purpose than any other day ; and which proposition and request was ae © etted t' 6 by Mr. Jones. MrvHoRNE having replied, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the petition as- sumed that to be true which upon the face of it was questionable— » he meant the competency of the candidate on whose behalf it was presented ; and it assumed, also, that he had been duly elected. His Lordship felt, however, that without going* any further, it was necessary, in the first place, to ascertain whether the election had been properly conducted, and of this he had so many doubts, that he should find it necessary to consult some of the Judges on the point. As it appeared to him at present, the election of the 28th of A pril might be no election at . all. It was necessary to consider whether, after the Legislature had provided by the Act of the 58th of the late King, that all elections should beJidd within given periods, and when this had been done, too, for the express purpose of avoiding the possibility of any manoeuvres by sheriffs and? returning officers in elections, any departure from the provisions of that Act would not vitiate an election altogether. If he were to decide contrary to this view of the subject, it would give power to all the sheriffs in the country to fix such days as ihey> mig'ht think fit, and pretences would • never b^. wantiug for all the elections at which ttfjey w^ re empowered to preside ; and thus a door would be opened to the Very evil which it was the object, of the Act to prevent. In the present case tbe Sheriff was under no imputation whatever ; he had acted' to the best of his ability, and with the most uptight intention. It might, be regretted that he had7 so implicitly relied upon the authority of Mr. Impey's book ; but perhaps the author knew as little of the Act as the Shropshire lawyers by whom- this treatise had been consulted. The poio upon the Act must, however, be first decided ; if i were, as be was at present inclined to think it must be, against the election, then all the learning which had been listening to on the point of qualification MARRIED. . , Oil1 Saturday last, nt Wrexham,.

It would be unpardonable in us not to notice, that Sir Robert Vaughan, ou tbe 2; 4th ult, ( tbe day previous to Mr. Vaughan's attaining his majority) and' engravings on the silver Clip, and he. stated that he never was more pleased than he was with the tasteful. execution of this piece of plate.

Abov. e this appropriate symbol of Justice was engraved' " Do thou likewise," and under it " John Evans." " Nothing, geiitleuien," Mr. Caldecot added, " could display more taste and propriety than'the man, tier in which this cup and'tbe engravings upon it have been executed— nothing could show in a stronger light Sir Robert's desire that, equity and justice should always be the essential characteristic of every transaction between bimanrl bis tenantry'' and, I think, no stronger indications could exist of the benevolent tendency of his ow n disposition.

The Lord Chancellor then said, he had received a note, in which the Lord Chief Justice informed him that he had consulted the other Judges of the Court of King's Bench, who were all clearly of Opinion, that the election which had been made was invalid, in not . having been made within the time prescribed, by the Act of the 5Sth , of the late King. His Lordship ( the Lord Chancellor) therefore decided, that a new writ must issue, directing the Sheriff of Shropshire to pro- ceed to another election. distributed an ample supply of beef, '& c. to upwards of 400 poor persons in his vicinity, in order that they might make themselves comfortable on the 25th.— Indeed so well appreciated vvas the charac- teristic urbanity and benevolence of Sir Robert, that care was taken at every place of rejoicing on this occasion, that the poor should be the first to possess the means of regaling- themselves in its commemoration. REJOICINGS AT MEII. LIONEDD.— The birth, day of Robert Williames Vaughan, Esq. was cele- brated at this place on Friday, the 25th ult. with every demonstration of joy and gladness.— Meill- ionydd is an old mansion- house, situated in the furthest end of the promontory of Lieyn, where some collateral branches of Sir Robert Vaughan's ancestors formerly| resided, and as it is in the midst of a considerable part of his property, a numerous assemblage of the tenantry w. ere upon the spot in the early part of the torenoon, waiting to be joined by the surrounding country in the festivities of the day. Soon after two o'clock dinner was upon the table, and a profusion of all ^ he substantial eatables of the country were served up. • J^> lin Evans,, Esq, of Tyn- y coed; Sir Robert's agent, took the chair, aud before the cloth was. removed, about two hun- dred and fifty had paid their compliments to the festive board, and amongst the company were — W. L. Caldecot, Esq. ( the late High Sheriff for Carnarvon) j R. G. Owens, Esq. of Pwllheli \ T. Carreg, Esq.; Rev. Robert Jones, LI aniestyn; Rev. John Evans, Bottwnog$ Rev. J. Ellis-,- Riiiw; and Mr. D. Williams, one of the bailiffs of th borough of Pwllheli, and several others from that town a « d neighbourhood...: After the cloth was removed, Mr. Evans rose up and shewed the company a very ^ lieganl iliid valuable silver cup, which lie said was presented to him by Sir R. W. Vaughan, with a request that it should be used on this happy occasion. He was. very proud that such a high compliment was paid him, but he felt himself too inadequate to express in the nianner he wished his feelings upon such a subject, or to show how highly he appreciated the honour conferred upon him; He would only " say that he felt himself extremely happy that the pleasure then devolved upon him, with that cup in his hand, to. drink the health of- It.

An inquest was held upon the body, whcii a- medical gentleman who examined it stated it as his opinion, thai the deceased came by her death from the motion of the coach and fatigue of travelling, when her strength was reduced to the last degree by ill health.

ROOKERIES.— It was decided in the Court of King's Bench, last week, that rooks were not animals iu which any man could have a property, Or a right to bring them upon his own land so as to annoy his neighbours, and consequently that no action could be maintained for frightening them away. la the Court of King's Bench, last week, the Lord Chief Justice stated it to be the opinion of the Court, that payment of money into Court does not ake a ease out of the Statute of Limitation, or let in evidence that any further sum is due. It only admits the sum paid in is due, and leaves the oper- ation of ihe Statute as to" any further claim pre- cisely as if no payment had taken place. The Lord Chancellor has been pleased to ap. point the Reverend Henry Law, son of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, to the Archdeaconry of Rich, mond, in the Diocese of Chester. He has also appointed the same gentleman to the Rectory of West Catnell, in the Diocese of Bath and Wells, voided by the late Incumbent under the provision of the Act of 57 Geo 111. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 29. James Tomkinson was opposed by Mr. Pollock, on behalf of the trusters of IJttoxeter- road turnpike, for a debt of from £ 200 to £ 300. The insolvent stated, thsit he had called a sale of his furniture to pay his rent; it was sold for £ 21. The mare which lie had belonged to his nephew ; the gig was a poor thing, as poor as ever was seen ( a laugh).. He thought it was amongst the articles which had been sold. It was not in the return. His wife had not, to his know, ledge, pot out £ 200at interest in April last; neither had he executed a deed to settle his property on his wife. He did uot., nor did any one for him to his know ledge, lodge £ 100 at interest in September last, in the bank of Messrs. Sparrow and Co. at Newcastle* mider- Lyme, nor any other sum. He never wrote, nor did he know who did write, tbe words and figures " April 12th" in ihe pass- book now shown to him. Mr. Pollock handed in an affidavit, sworn by a cletk of Messrs. Sparrow and Co, stating thai the insolvent had lodged £ 100 in that bank on the 2.9th of September last, on the condition tl. iat he was not to draw it out for one year, and was to receive, 3^ per cent , interest upon it. He also handed in the affidavit of an auctioneer, who swore that on the 26th instant there was furniture in the insolvent's house ( the Rose and Crown public- house, at present carried on by liis wile) to the amount of £ 100 ; and a joint affidavit/ sworn by the clerks of Kinnersley's bank, stating that the entry hi the pass- book abo^ e mention ed of £ 90. His. 8d., as paid in April, 1823, was a surreptitious entry. " Tfie insolvent, in explanation, again denied all knowledge of the £ 100 being lodged at Messrs. Sparrow and Co, V and insisted that the £ 90. 16s. 8d. was paid by him in April, 1823, on account of the turnpike, and that the entry was regularly made by one of the clerks ofthe hank. He sent the money, he said, by a man named Bay ley. The Court, adjourned the case generally for the insolvent lo give them further evidence iu explana- tion of the £ 100, and the furniture stated to be at present in his house. TO THE EDITOR.

VULGAR ERRORS— from the Retrospective Review, No. 18.—" It is supposed that a surgeon, or butcher, from the barbarity of their business, may be challenged as jurors. It is difficult to account for many of the prevailing vulgar errors with regard to what is supposed lo be law. Such are, that the body ofa debtor may be taken in execution after his death ; which, however, was practised in Prussia before this present King abolished it by the Code Frederiqve. It is supposed likewise to be penal to open a coal- mine, or to kill a crow, within five miles of Loudon : as als^ Jo shoot with a wind gun, or to cany a dark lantern. To these vulgar errors may be added the supposing that the King signs the death- warrant ( as it is called) for the execution of a criminal. u To these may be added the notion that a woman's marrying a man under the gallows will . save him from execution. This probably arose from a wife having brought an appeal against the murderer of her husband, who, afterwards, repenting the prose- cution or her lover, not only forgave the offence, but was willing to marry the appellee. Two additional vulgar errors are, when a man designs to marry a Woman that is in debt, if he take her from the hands of the priyst, clashed only in her shift, it is supposed he will not he liable to her engagements. And^ hat there was no hvnd- tax before the reign of William the Third." 44 To Mr. Harrington's list of vuiga'r errors'may he added fhe foliowing :— That if a crimina 1 has hung an hour and revives, he cannot afterwards be ex- ecuted— Thata funeral passing over any plaCe. makes a pnblie highway— That a husband has the power. of divorcing his wife by selling her in open market with a halter round her neck— That second cousins may not marry, though first cousins may— That it is necessary, in some legal process against the King, to go through the fiction of arresting him, which is done by placing a ribbon across the road as if to impede his carriage— That the lord of a manor may shoot over all the lands within his in it nor— That pounds of butter may he of any number of ounces-— That bull- heel shall not be sold unless the bull have been baited previously to being killed— That leases are made for the term of 999 years, because a lease of 1000 5ears would create a freehold— That deeds executed on a Sunday are void— Tl* at, in order to disinherit an fjetr at law, it is necessary to give him a shilling by the will, for that otherwise he would be entitled to the whole property." ^ tobinrtal Anlr Mi^ ttiUtttm^ porting.

The following article has been addressed in the shape ofa letter to the Editor of the Cheltenham Chronic fe:— Lord Althorpe's Bill has met with that fate which every man of understanding who had read the Bill ust have anticipated. It was a Bill, the effect of which would have been endless perjury by examining the parties interested, without that relief the country expected. By it the expenses necessary to the well conducting of the causes by a short route to an equita, ble result, were removed, whilst the fees to Govern meat and to Clerks were created and retained, which, with the expenses of witnesses, & c. would have amounted to perhaps £ 20, and that without provid iug for the payment of those, fees and travelling ex. penses by the wrong doer. In certain towns tire re must have been a petty Assize, and the causes must have been called on in the order they were entered a case iu trover or otherwise might require 15 or say 10 witnesses ; they might be compelled to travel 10 miles and stay two or three days until the cause was called ; this could not be done, including conveyances to and fro, at less than 10 shillings for each witness per day, or £ 15, the payment of which was not provided for ; which, with the fees in the Bill, would have exceeded £ 20 for a cause of five pounds" Now, Sir, I intend proposing a Bill, not one- twentieth part of'the length of Lord Althorpe's, by wbirh the parties and the Jury may have all the benefits of professional assistance, assistance abso lately necessary to prevent imposition upon, endless labour to, the Court and Jury, and indis pen sable to the ends ofjustice, and at an expense not exceeding, if equal to the amount of fees and travel- scientific ano iWjJceUaiwtitta. A Company fur Washing by Steam has been'set up, aud au extensive establishment formed, at Phippsbridge, near Merlon, Surrey. The use of steam in cleansing - clothes j8, we are aware, not new but the manner of its application in the present case is novel. Scarcely a peasant woman in France who is not acquainted with the process of boiling clothes by steam, by placing them in a wooden vessel fixed over the boiler, and perforated ith several holes at the bottom. In this manner tlie clothes, having first been sprinkled with an alkaline solution, are frequently turned, and by Ihe action of the steam perfectly cleansed. The plan at Phippsbridgc has many advanlagcs over this simple process. The clothes are placed in cop per vessels, where the action of the steam is brought to bear on them with great force, and by the revolving of the vessel the sleani can act upon every part equally. After being perfectly cleansed for a short time, the clothes ate taken up lo a large loft and there dried by steam. The works at Phippsbridge are not yet finished, and of course the Company have not fully established the prac- ticability of the process.— If it should prove fully efficient, what is to become of the poor washer- women ? PARIS.— The following interesting article is ex- tracted from a paper read by M. Girard, at the last meeting of the Academy of the Sciences, relative to Ihe application of dynamics to various means of i transport:—" The est ablishment of diligences dates only from 1755 ; before that period, coaches alone were known, until the Minister l'urgot formed tbe idea of a mode of transport much more prompt, and consequently much less expensive. It formerly required ten days to go from Paris to Lyons— the journey is now made in seventy hours. It cost 15fr. to go lo Rouen in three days— for the same charge a traveller may now go there in twelve hours. In 1766 twenty- seven vehicles, carrying 270 pas- sengers, departed daily from Paris— there now de- parted from the capital daily 300 conveyances aud 3,000 travellers. The slate , does not gain by this amelioration less than commerce! I ll,' oM con- veyances never produced more than a million. In 1766 Ihey were even farmed for 600,000 francs. They now produce annually more than font- millions. Waggon conveyance has made equal progress— in 1766 there were in Paris only fourteen w'aggon- offices— at present there are sixty- six." IMPORTANT INVENTION.— The greatest im; provement, says a correspondent, w e have seen for many years in carriages, is a piece of mechanism called the Safely Drag. On inquiry we find this drag may be applied, in a very simple way, to any carriage, at little expense, and used at pleasure by any person on or in the carriage, without stopping, and taken off in a moment. This drag is to be used when descending a steep hill, or at any time, should the horse run away, two thirds of the height of any carriage may be placed on it in a moment. Should a horse fall, pole or reins break, the pro- gress of the carriage may be stopped in a moment. How frequently we read of limbs being broken, lives lost, & c. by stage and other horses running away ill the absence of the driver, carriages up setting through the pole breaking, and also from reins giving way, restive horses, & c. What would those whose lives are in such danger give at that moment for the safety drag ? And how frequently we hear of heavy damages beinggiven against stage coach proprietors after such misfortunes. We hope soon to hear of their being in general use, as they are riot heavier than a common drag, and the ap- pearance no way against them.— Scotch. Paper. One of the largest specimens of cooking ap- paratus ever attempted to he heated with one fire, is now nearly finished at a manufactory in Sheffield. It is intended to be used in cooking the daily pro- vision for an establishment, consisting of 340 persons, by the agency of steam and rarified air. Fifteen pecks of potatoes, two hundred pounds of meat, and puddings in proportion, may be cooked at one time. The Hon. E. G.

Hornby, Colonel Townsend, of Win- cham, Mr. Hulton, of Hulton, and other gentlemen of rank and fortune in the neighbourhood. The honourable President took, the opportunity of avowing himself a Whig, entertaining principles similar to ( hose entertained and acted upon by the Whigs al the revolution of 1688, and which seated Ihe House of Brunswick on Ihe Throne of Great Britain. In Ihe course of his speech ( which lasted an hour) he observed, thai " il was, however, 10 measures he looked, not to men and, looking forward, in the course of nature, to some future period, as il would be affectation to deny that he did, when he hoped to have the hononr of repre- senting this great county in Parliament, he con- sidered it but fair and manly to let his political sentiments be generally known. Liverpool Mercury. During a heavy thunder storm which visited Milford, Pembrokeshire, on the yth ultimo, a large oak tree at Latirenny was stiuck by the light ningwith such violence, that ihe limbs and branches were, in an instant, separated from Ibe trunk, which it split. Mr. Tribe, of Laurenny, was close lo the tree at Ihe time, but he fortunately escaped without the least injury. I. 3st week, a yonlh of the name of Clark, of Skipton, went into the water to bathe, while iu a state of violent perspiration. He came home, was taken suddenly ill, and died very soon after. On Monday, the - 21st ultimo, six fine deer, in the Marquis of Stafford's park, al Trentham, and 011 Tuesday a cow belonging to a labouring man in lhat neighbourhood, were killed by lightning. GREAT FIRE, IN EDINBURGH.— A most destructive fire hroke out yesterday in the lower story of a tenement, occupied by Mr. Gunn, as a spirit seller, at Ihe head of the Royal Bank Close. It was occasioned by the imprudence of some mid- night earousers who bad thrown a glass of spirits into the fire. The alarm was given a little before one o'clock, and the fire engines were promptly upon the spot; hot, from the quantity ot old pau- nelling and oilier timber work in the building, ihe ( lames spread rapidly, and the house in which lite fire had originated, with the one behind it, were burnt down in three hours, while two other tene- ments adjoining, the one leading into the Parlia- ment- square, and the other on the east side within the square, had also caught fire. It was hoped that Ihe former of these would be partially saved, but ( he flames have completely gutted the building, and the other house exhibits an almost equally ruinous spectacle. The " Weekly Chronicle's" publishing office, Mr. . Sutherland's bookbinding shop, the Piteairne Insurance office, and several old established writing- chambers, were iu the premises which have heen consumed.— During the whole of yesterday llie High- street, opposite to the destroyed tenements, was completely blocked up bv the crowd : and those whose business led them to ihe Parliament House or Casllehill, found it most expeditions for tbeni to make, their approach by the Old Assembly Close. The mob was excluded from the Parliament Square, lo which, however, the gentlemen attending Ihe Courts of Law obtained access. Toward the easl side of the square, military parlies, in undress, were working the fire- engines, where pipes, playing from the roof of St. Giles's Church, and the adjoining- houses, occasionally discharged themselves oil ihe head of some unfortunate limb of the law, whose I zeal for the public safety bad decoyed him from under the snug roof of Mother Justice into imprudent proximity with the man of water. On the outskirts of the military appeared a numerous deputation from Ihe adjoining Courts of Law, headed hy eminent Counsel in their gowns and wigs. Ou tiie outside of these again stood a motley assemblage of old men, women, and children, who were guarding their little wrecks of fornilure, which had been deposited, or rather flung, under the piazzas; and never was there seen before, at the doors of a ball of justice, such an assemblage of odds and ends as garnished the piazza of our Parliament House beds and baskets, chairs and cradles, books and barrels, spits and pokers, pictures and papers, flower- pots and other pots, shock- dogs and tabbies, petticoats and breeches, lined the whole front of the edifice, with the exception of one narrow passage hy which the brethren, within and without the walls of Court, reported to each oilier, from time to time, the state of affairs in Iheir respective territories, ijere satan Irish ladv protecting her property, inore effectually than all the men of Rights about her could have done ; there stood a towns- woman laying the case of her parlour table, which had eloped with five gold guineas iu its custody, before three celebrated Counsel. In one corner the maiden of some ancient spinstress hasted to deposit her mistresses china equipage iu a hunker, in which duty she was assisted by a parcel of W. S.' s; in another, a parcel of ragged urchins sought to hide themselves from the approach of an Advocate, " least-, llie Minister in while breeks," as they called him, should put them in gaol. The loss sustained is very great, from the greater number of the sufferers having neglected the precautiou of insurance.— Edinb. Star, June 24, On Monday, one of the waggons belonging to Mr. Welsh, on ils way from Manchester to Preston, was suddenly thrown into a blaze while stopping at Westhoughtou. The accident was occasioned by the bursting of a bottle of vitriol placed in the tail of the waggon. Notwithstanding the efforts of the waggoner, the innkeeper at Weslhoughton, and others, the damage is estimated at £ 500. A few days ago a mouse and a litter of four yonng ones were found in a loaf of bread, at a house, near the Red Lion Inn, Tunbridge. Lord Poulell has in his possession at Hinlon St. George, two remarkably small ponies, which are ridden by his Lordship's infant sons, Lord Hinton, and his brother. They were sent over from France by Mr. Knight, as presents to Lord Poulett, and are each of the singularly diminutive stature of forty inches only! Their colour is a. jet black, and when mounted by their very youthful riders, have a curious appearance.— Taunton Courier. There is at this time in the possession of Mr. Parrington's sons, of St. Dunstan's, near this city, four young birds of the Kingfisher genus. They are kept in a large cage, a pail of water being placed under them, in which are occasionally put a quantity of live minnows, on which they dart from their perch and seize wilh great certainty, and which, from natural instinct, they strike against the perch or cage several times previous to swal- lowing; and although they are naturally a wild and solitary bird, are perfectly tame. They possess in a considerable degree the beautiful and brilliant plumage for which this bird is unrivalled. They were taken out of their nest near Whitehall. — Kentish Chronicle. Last week died, at tbe advanced age of eighty, five years, Wm. Hayward, Esq. of Drayton, near Abingdon, Berks: during his life time Mr. Hay. ward distributed many thousands of pounds amongst his relatives; notwithstanding which, he died possessed of at least £ 400,000, the greater part of which he has left lo his relations, many of whom were in indigent circumstances. MANCHESTER.— On Friday week, a great commotion was created in the new market, Shudc- hill, by one of those occurrences which disgrace Ihe labouring classes of this country,— the sale of a wife by her husband. The vender was a pensioner wit| i one arm, named Hugh Pritchard; his wife was a good- looking woman, apparently about six and twenty. After several biddings, she was knocked down for five shillings; but, not liking the purchaser, she was put up again, and finally disposed of for three shillings and a quart of ale. The purchaser was then moving off with his prize; but the crowd began to pelt them with mud, when the man slunk away, leaving the woman to shift for herself, and she was glad to take refuge in the lock- up on Shudehill. There Collier, the officer who has charge of the lock- up, detained her ; and, having learnt where the husband was lo be found, he took him into custody, and lodged both the delinquents in the New Bailey. Oil the following day they were brought up before Mr. Norris, who remanded them till \ JMonday, when they were discharged, with a suitable admonition. On Thursday last, a respectable farmer convicted at Worcester, by Ihe sitting Magistrates, in the penalty of 40s. for selling wheat short of the Winchester measure ; and also in the sum of £ 22. 15s, being the value of such wheat, and one guinea the costs of conviction. John Porter, a lad Who confessed that he killed 21 lambs belonging to his master, out of revenge, is only ten years of age !— He has been fully com- mitted lo Fisherton gaol,' and will take his trial at the ensuing Assizes. A coutract has been entered into by our Cily Magistrates, with a Mr. Stothert, of Bath, for the erection of a Tread Wheel in our new City Gaol, upon the same, plan and principle as one recently put up by thatjgcntleman at Bristol, and which has been found to answer well its intended purpose, and give much satisfaction, except, of course, to those deemed to the toil of pacing, its " still beginning, never ending," steps. The wheel will be of sufficient extent, for the.. employment of eighteen men, ihree resting at a time, and so con slructed that we believe as few as two call work al it, and yet experience the same degree of indi- vidual labour only, as when the full complement are at work. The power is to be applied to thegrind ing of corn, and the raising of water for the use of the prison into a reservoir at the top of the Go- vernor's hpuse. The cost of the wheel, machinery, and the mill house, is to be £ 600.— Worcester Herald. DEATH BY A BULI,.— On Monday, an inquest was held » t Castlemorton, Worcestershire, on the body of William Pullen, who was killed by a bull belonging to his master, Mr. John Rayer, of that place. It appeared that the deceased was driving a two- year old bull into an adjoining field, where there were some heifers, when the animal attacked him wilh great ferocity, and tore various parts of his body in so dreadful a manner that he only sur vived till next day ! The poor man was seen, to strike the bull several times; and Ibis, from his former docility, is supposed lo have been the cause of his irritation.— The jury returned a verdict, Death from being gored by a bull, deodar, d the bull, ( value - 25s. ! al the same lime ordering the animal to be destroyed. The deceased has left a wife and two small children. SIR THOMAS MORE'S HEAD.— A paragraph which has appeared in several of the county and metropolitan prints, relative lo the head of the above great personage having been discovered, and which we copied from another paper, is without the least foundation. The fact is, that some year since, when the vault of the Roper family was opened, the identical head was then really found, with some flesh and part of the sandy beard re- maining on it. ll was, however, again entombed in the. same place, aud has remained undisturbed ever since. Tbe repairs of St. Dunslan's church having been going on some time, one of the brick- layers employed found a skull in some part of tbe vestry- room ; and recollecting lhat Sir Thomas' head had been previously found, he thought Ihe one he possessed a very good snccedancum ; the ruse answered, and he disposed of several teeth, as' those which were once the inhabitants of tbe head of the great Lord Chancellor of England, and the victim of tyranny.— Kent and Essex Mercury. portrait of Ann of Denmark, by Crispin de Pass," 1622, which Mr. Bindley bought for six shillings, was sold to Mr. Evans for thirty. five pounds four, teen shillings; and five of Robert Green's pro-, ductions, which altogether cost him only seven shillings and ( linepcnce, brought, from different purchasers, the enormous sum of forty- one pounds fourteen shillings. An account of an " English Heimife, or Wonder of his Age, 1655," one Roger Crab, who could live on three farthings a week, consisting of four leaves, with a portrait, sold for five pounds ten shillings. A short history of another prodigy, Mr. Marriot, "' The Cormor- ant, or Great Eater of Gray's Inn," who always ate twelve pounds of meat daily, 1652, brought fourteen guineas. And Leuricke's " Most wonder- ful and pleasant History of Titus and Gisippus," 1562, though a poem of only ten pages, and, as a poem, contemptible, being however extremely rare, sold for twenty. four pounds, thirteen shillings, and sixpence. The admirers of those beautiful Reflections on Ihe Works of God in tbe regions of nature by Sturm, will rejoice to hear that a work of similat- beauty by the same Author, and now first trans- lated from Ihe German, has just been published : it is entitled " MORNING COMMUNINGS WITH GOD, or Devotional Meditations for every Day in the Year." This work is quite equal to the Re- flections, and, » lieu generally known, cannot fail to have a wide circulation : it may be read with profit by all denominations of Christians, and will bear to be placed on the same shelf wilh the Reflections of Fenelon. i& tigcsUaneoMS Intelligence. His Majesty held a Court at Carlton- House, on Wednesday, when the three restored Scotch Lords, the Viscounts Kenmure and Strathallau and Lord Nairn, kissed hands upon the restoration of their titles. Gazettes from Sydney, New South Wales, j and from Hobart's Town, Van Dieman's Land, to the 29th of January, have been received. Both colo- nies appear to be in a rapid state of improvement, and the only deficiency under which they seem to suffer, is that of a good system_ pf bankings defect, however, common lo ail rising countries. Mr. Oicley, Surveyor General, has discovered river in Moreton Bay, which he has named the Brisbane, superior to any yet known in New Hoi. land. Stage coaches Have been established between Sydney and Paramatta, and to alfihe well- settled parts of New South Wales. Olive, trees have also been planted.' A tread- mill for. grinding flour has lately been erected m Sydney by Government, which answers so well as an object of terror to criminals, and as a means of making their punishment a source of profitable labour, that others were about to be established on a more extensive scale. Baron Field, Esq. Judge of the Supreme Court, and his lady, have arrived in England by the Com- petitor^ Captain Ayscough, in 134 days from Syd- ney ; which ship has brought home a cargo con sisting of various kinds of colonial timber, seal skins, elephant oil, and 280' bales of wool. ; It is remarkable that a very, recent discovery of geographical importance has not yet been mention- ed either by the political or scientific press ; we allude to the discovery of a new island by a whaler, at no great distance from New Zealand. This fine and fruitful country is ( as we hear) about, the size of England, and capable of ministering to every enjoyment and blessing of life;— The climate is delightful, and the productions, both animal and vegetable, abundant and luxuriant. It does not appear to have been inhabited ; but, it is added, our Government has interfered to prevent a pri- vate expedition, consisting of three vessels, from proceeding to take possession of the prize. GAMING.— Gaming is one of the most pernici- ous practices, and yet few are more enticing and bewitching; a man gains, he gains more, and he looks forward to the absolute possession of immense wealth; he calculates of certainty 011 the foundation of deceit, and because he has gained once, and yet a second time, he thinks himself secure in the favouritism of Fortune. Now he loses once, but fascination whispers it is but once: he still loses, the stprm gathers, round its victim, and he is still unconscious of his danger ; he now risks all hi3 possession, and his possession is in an instant flown from the power of his gra-. p ; he loses every thing- he is in absolute misery and disquietude; he sinks into nothing, be is lost, iiis spirits fail, bis fortune is vanished, his food expectations of immense wealth are passed like a dream, and now he is pennyless. Still he retains that curse of habitual propensity to this sad delusion; he scrnpes from every corner the pittance of his goods, and them also he sacrifices at the shrine of the uncertain idol— he becomes in actual want, and dies with the most agonised feelings of regret for his past folly. WILLS.— John Goss, of Bristol, mariner, proved May 19, 1796: " My executrix to pay, out of the first monies collected, uuto my beloved wife, Hester fim:. ( if living-), the sum of one shilling, which I give her ( as a token of my love) that she may buy hazel- nuts, as I know she is better pleased with cracking them than she is with mending"" i{ lie( holes in her stockings." . Samuel Wright, of Stoke Newingfon, proved August 5, 1736: " And whereas some or other base, wicked, and malicious tempered people may, after my decease ( I living and dying unmarried), raise,' contrive, and publish, some vile, false story or other, I do under my hand ( here the testator makes public protestation of his being unlike his father, in having never given the opportunity of earning the same title), nor was ever under any contract or agree- ment with any woman, directly or indirectly, upon any account whatsoever. Witness my hand, at Newington Green, this 15th of October," 1735." William Sbackell, Esq. Governor of Plymouth, proved October 12, 1782 : •< c I desire that my body may be kept as long as it may not be offensive, and that one of my toes ur fingers may he cut off, to Secure a certainty of my being dead ; I also make this further request to my dear wife, that as she has been troubled with one old fool, she will not think of marrying a second." THE BIRTH- PLACE OF SHAKSPEARE.— Though the shrine of many a Catholic saint has had more numerous, yet none had ever more sincere or enlig'htened devotees, than those who have p- id homage to the genius of Shakspeare, at Stratford- On- Avon. The room which is there shown as that in Hiich the immortal bard was born, is covered io every part with the names of visitors; even the ceiling, the sides, the projecting chimney, and evefy partition of the surface, have been written on. A list of the names would exhibit all the rank, charac- ter, and genius of the age. Among these - names are those of his present Majesty, the Duke of Ciaience, and of at least one- half of the members of both Houses of Parliament, as well as those of': many distinguished foreigners,. among whom ave Lncien Buonaparte, and the Russian and Austrian princes, who visited England since the Peace. Even the tomb of Shakspeare, and his bust, are in like manner covered with names, proud of an association with him " who was not for an age." On the scroll under the effigy is the name of 44 Wellesley," inscribed hy the successive viceroy of Hindustan and Ireland, himself, and near it the name of Lucien Buonaparte, v^ i11* the following lines :— " The eye of genius glistens to admire, How memory hails the sound, of Shakspeare's lyre.; One tear I'll shed, tQ form a crystal shrine Of alltliat's grand, immortal, and divine Vide Relics of Literature. Extract from Letters from North America, written during a Tour in the United States and Canada, by Adam Hodgson':— u The real plague spot of Charleston is its slave population ; and the, mixture of gaiety and splendour with misery and degradation, is too incongruous, not to arrest the attention even of the superficial. It always reminded me of. the delicate pink peach- blossoms which, surround the black hovels of the slaves 011 the plantations.— I shall never forget my feelings at being present, for the first time, at a sale of slaves, which took place here in a public street through which I was passing the other day. Turning from a fashionable promenade, enlivened by gay parties and glittering equipages, I came suddenly in sight of at least 80 or 100 negroes sitting ou a large heap of paving stones; some with most me- lancholy and disconsolate faces, and others with an air of vacancy and apathy, apparently insensible to what was passing around them. Several merchants and planters were walking about examining tlie unhappy creatures wild. were to be offered for sale. A poor woman, apparently about twenty. eight years of age, with a child at her breast, her two little b. oys, from four to six years old, and her little girl, about | eight, composed the first lot. They were mounted on a platform ( with the auctioneer) taking hold of each other's hands, and the little boys looking up at their mother's face with an. aii\ of curiosity, as if they wondered what could make her look so sad. The mother then spoke a few words, in a faultering voice, to the auctioneer, who repeated them aloud, in which she expressed a strong desire to be pur- chased by some one who lived near Charleston, instead of being sent to a distant plantation. They were then put up with all the ordinary auction slang, and finally knocked down at 350 dollars each. As soon as they came down from the platform, many of the negroes crowded around the mother, inquiring if she knew who had bought her, or whither she was going; but all that she knew of iier future destiny was, that a new owner had obtained possession of her and her offspring for 350 dollars each. I could not stop to see the repetition of the sad process on ^ the person of a field labourer, who composed the next lot, and who appeared depressed and dejected beyond what I had conceived." MR. BINDLEY THE BIBLIOMANIAC.--*- The j late Mr. Bindley was one of the most assiduous bibliomaniacs of his time, aud small as may be the service which he did to letters, the price which his collection brought at his death, shews, that a man, in these days, may do worse for his heirs than spend his time in going the round of the old book- stalls, Many rare things which he had picked 11 p for a few shillings, were actually converted into more than their weight, in silver and gold. Herbert's " Dick and Robin, with Songs and other old Tracts, 1641," which cost him only two shillings, was bought by Mr. Heber for ten pounds, A volume containing Patrick Hannay's " Nightingale, and other Poems, with a portrait of the author, and a [ Paragraph from the British Traveller.] THE LATE WILLIAM COMBE, ESQ — This excellent and amiable man was at one, period well known iu fashion'ftbTe life ; at, another ( and that too in his declining years), he lu » d 110 mean'name in the world of literature ns the author of the humorous and picturesque '. Tours' of ' Dr. Syntax, and many other amusing, instructive, and moral works. He vvas a considerable contributor to Mr. ACKBUMANN'S celebrated periodical Repository, in which, among other essays ( all of the most, moral and religious tendency), he published a Series of Letters from Amelia, a young Lady of fortune, come to London. to be introduced into " life," to her Mother in the country. These abound with the most just but most unacrimonious satire 011 the follies and vices of " fashionable life," with which it is clear, from these letters, the author was well acquainted. They are written in the most easy, flowing, and elegant style, and faithfully depict the. heart of an amiable and sensible young lady, forming the justest estimate of human life and character, and at, the same lime evincing her gratitude to her beloved mother and to heaven for having formed her mind free from vanity and prejudice, aud capable of avoiding all the suareV that pleasure spreads for the young and unwary. In collecting these interesting letters into one small volume of very moderate price, Mr. ACKERMANN has done an eternal service to the youth of this nation ; and no parents that value the prosperity of their children here, or their well- being hereafter, will be long, we are persuaded, without the juvenile library being furnished with this compendium of all the moral and religious duties, inforced in the most soothing and winning way imaginable. But it is not alone to children that this little volume may be of benefit. Those of mature age, and of both sexes, may derive instruction and delight from the inculca- tions of the moralist, and from his just and accurate pictures of human life.— See Advertisement, page 1..
