The INTEltltOGATIVE SYSTEM OF EDUCA- TION, hy Ques'ions wiihoot Answers, which is now so generally adopted in the Schoqts of the United Kingdom, presents the following peculiar and im- portant advantages: — 1. It teaches the elements of every branch of • knowledge with greater precision and facility than any other system. 2. It compels the student to understand those elements, by forcing, him to think for, himself on their nature and connection, while engaged in referring ar. d sludyivg for nnsicers lo the Questions, and in walking the exercises. 3. It enables Tutors to conduct Schools wilh success, by one quarter of tile trouble and personal exer> an hitherto necessary. 4. in composing the Answers, the Pupil is exer- cised in grammar and composition ; while the fair entry of them in. the copybooks is an effectual exercise in writing anil orthography. 5.

It is therefore sub- mitted to all those who are friendly to the Under- aking, to contribute towards a NEW CLOCK, laving two Dials, the one facing the West as at present, aud another of a larger Size on the East Side of the Tower, which will be seen almost as far as Lord Hill's Column.

The Society reserves to itself a Power to with The Select Cbmni i t tee appointed to inquire info tbe practice which prevails iu some parts of' ( he Country of: paying tbe wages of labour out of- the Poor Rates, and to consider whether any and what measures can be carried into execution, for the purpose of altering that practice, and to report their ObseryatioBS^ thereupon to the House, have, pursuant to the of the House, examined into the matter, to them- referred, and have agreed upon the folio wi n g HeM^ ri Frq. iii the evifeice, and other information col- lected! , it appears tliat, in some dist r ictsrc^ .. tbe. c ()( i! i f ry, a hi e bod i. ed labou ers are sent roiiiw to^ e farmers, and receive a part, and i. n soi$' § . iuiSt^ upe^. the whole, of their subsistence- from the parish, while working upon the land of individuals. This . practice was doubtless intro- duced at first as a means of employing the surplus labourers of a parish • but by an abuse, which almost inevitable, it has been converted into a means of obliging the parish to pay for labour, which ougbt to have been hired and paid for by private persons. This abuse frequently follows, immediately the practice of sending1 the unemployed labourers upon the farnis iu the parish. The farmer, fiiid'ing himself charged for a greater- quantity of labour, than, he requires, naturally endeavours to economise,, by discharging those labourers of whom'he has the least need, alnd rely- ing* upon the supply fiirn shed by the parish for work, hitherto performed entirely at hivown cost.. An instance has been quoted of a farmer's team standing stifl because the farmer bad not received the number ot' roundsmen he; expected. Thus the evil . of this, practice augments itself; and the steady hard working labourer, employed by agreement : with his master, is converted into the degraded and neffieiea, t pensjoner. of the parish. In other paI'ls O'f the country this practice has. been carried io a very great extent, for tiie sake of diminishing the income of the clergyman of the? parish, an^ p^ jtng' for tlVe expenses of o^ e eSass of!' men out fy^ th^ reyenue: of anotberv In 4he parish of Hurstmonc^ ux, in Sussex, it, appears that the. wages of labour were reduced in this, manner to Gd. a dav and a clergyman of a neighbouring- parish, has been rea| eued with the adoption of a similar practice. This . praeti « ae, is the natural result or another, which is tar more common, namely, that of paying an allowance'; to labourers for the maintainance' of their children. In some counties, as iii Bedford- shire^; this: ? j)< iyni£ nt usually begins when the labourer has a single child, wages beiiig kept so low that it^ s^ uttevly impossible for him to support a wifeand- child without parish. assistance. The evils which follow from the system above described may he thus enumerated 1st. The rniipioyer does no* obtain efficient labour from the labourer whom he hires. In parts of Norfolk, for instance, a labourer is quite certain of obtai n ingatv a Mo wan ce from the par i s h s u ffic i en t to support his family ; it consequently becomes a inattft; of'iiidilfe5ie, n^: to Trim whether be earns t small sttm or a large one, It is obvious, indeed, that a disinclination to work must be the consequence Of so. vietotis1a system, He whose subsistence is secure without work, and who cannot obtain more than a mere sufficiency? by- triie hardest work, will naturally he an i^ le and careless labourer. Fre- quently the iyork done by four or fi ve such labourers does not amount to what might easily be performed by a single, labourer, working at task work, Instai) C^ s d) fv thjs fact are to he found in the evidence, and in the statements of all persons con versant with the suhjecJV 2dly.— Persons who Ij^ ye no need of farm labour are obliged; to contribute to the payment of work done for Others. This must be the case wherever the labou re rs n eeessa ri I y em pi ov e d bv the farmers receive from the parish any part of the wages which, if not so paid, would be paid by the farmers themselves. 3dly. — A surplus population is encouraged ; men who receive but a small pittance know that they I ha ve onliy7 . tisCmarry; and'? that pittance will be augmented iiL, proportion to the nuinber of their children; Hence the supply of labour is by no means regnluted by the demand, and parishes are burthened with thirty, forty, and fifty, labourers, for whonv they can find no employment, aud Who serve to depress the situation of all their fellow- raboiners^ in the same parish. An intelligent wititeW^ vhd is' inuch in tbe habit of employing 1 abort r&& - s ta tef\ that w hen ; co m pi ami ng oft li ei r allowance- tHe/ ' feqnently ' Say to hinr, v << We wiir marry, = an. d, you^ must njaintaiu, us." 4tbly.-? iBy far the worst consequence / of tli system is, the deg- radatioh of the character of the labouring'class. There are but two motives by which men are induced to work : the one, the hope' of iinproviu the condition of themselves and their families ; tli. other, the fear of punishment. The one is the principle of free labour, the other the principle of slave lahoiw1. The one produces industry, frugality sobriety, faintly a flection, and pu ts the labou ririo class in a friendly relation with the rest, of the- community; the other causes, as certainly , id leness imprudence; vicevdissension, and places'the maste and the labourer in a perpetual state of jealousy am mistrust. Unfortunately,' it is the tendency of tli system of Which we speak, to supersede the forme of these principles, and introduce the latter. Sub sistence is secured to all,; to the idle as well as tl industrious j to the profligate as well as the sober and as far as human' interests are concerned, ali inducement to obtaiiv- a- good character is taken way . ffects h a ve corresponded with the cause. Able- bodiod men are found slovenly at their work, and dissolute iu their hours of re- laxation; a father is negligent of his children, the children do not thinkf. it necessary to contribute to'the sopfport of- tlieir pareuts ; the employers and the employed are engaged in perpetual quarrels, and. the pauper, always relieved, is always dis- contented:; crime advances with increasing bold- ness, and the parts of the country . where ibis system prevails are, in spire of our gaols and oiir laws, filled with poachers and thieves. The evil of this state of things has often induced individuals to ' desire further means of punishing labourers who, refuse or neglect to work, and ihe Legislature has sometimes listened with favour to such proposals'; but we are persuaded that any attempt to make the penalties of this kind more efficacious, ? wo, n: ld either be so repugnant to the national character as to he total I v inoperative, or if acted upon would tend still further to degrade the labouring cljigs. es of. the kingdom. The effects of this system very clearly shew the mistake of imagining- that indiscriminate' relief is the best method of providing for the happiness of the labouring" classes. Employers, burdened with the suppin'f of a'surplus population, endeavour to reduce the wagies ot labour to the. lowest possible price. Hence, where the system to which we allude bargained ground, the . labourers are found of Oswaldslow, in the county of Worcester, the practice of paying- part of the wages of labour out of the poor. rale, has beeu entirely puf a slop io by the vigilance of the Magistrates.. If we; turu to the midland, southern, aiid western- parts. of the conn*. try, we find a great variety iu the rate of wages. In the Wiiighani. division, in Kentaloue, it appears, that the lowest wages paid were, in one parish, 6d.; in four, 8d\; ineleieu, Is. 6d.; in four, 2s.; and, in the greater number, Is. a day. In Suffolk,, Sussex, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset- shire,. aud Wiltshire, tlie plan of paying wages- out. of the Poor- rate has been- carried in the. greatest extent. Norfolk, Huntingdonshire, and Devon- shire, are likewise afflicted by k. lusouieof ibese counties. wages are. Ss. or 9s.; in others 5s. • and in some pin ts they ha. ve beeu and. are so' lo. tv . iijs, 3s. a week for a single man; .4s., 6d. for, a mail and his wife, .. ,, .. . .... - j: . j, . A great nnmber of' returns on. this subject have been collected, of which an ubstraet, w hen made, will he presented to your Honourable House. With respeot to the remedy for the evils pointed out, il is obvious to remark, that a great, if not the greater, part arises from the illal- odjntofetratioil of the laws. Yet when, this remark is made; it does not appear how, under, the present system, the laws which regard the poor should be otherw ise than ill administered. Where no select Kestrv or assistant overseer has been- appointed', the poor are consigned to, ihe care of a person named ouly for one year, jfeiu hold any of the Premiums if there appears not to ( 0 „ bfeart „' r even potatoes, scarcely l, e sul^ nienl Merit ill the C aims. 1 . . 7 , .

W. EGERTON JEFFREYS, ^ Secretary, ever tasting irl'eat or beer, or being able even to buy'milk'; vV^ il'e in other piiits of the " coout'ry, where high W'a^ es are still prevalent, ihe food and whole manner of living of fhe labourer, are on a greatly better scale. This difference is, doubtless, to be attributed to the excess of population iu particular parts of the country ; but that excess is IU great part to be attributed to the mal- adiuinis- tration ot tlie Poof Laws during the latter- years of the late war. l . .. Without. assigning any'precise period ,, when the system of paying p i t of- thc wa^ es of labour out of the Poor- rate- commenced, we are of opinion, that, although perhaps it began earlier in some districts it has generally been introduced during the great fluctuations of the price- of provisions which have . occurred in the last thirty years. In the year 1795 especially, . a year of ' scarcity, parishes, finding that employers conldjnot afford to pay their la- bourers a sufficient sum to support their families, evenmi the most stinted scale, added a contribution out of tbe ' Poor- rate..' to healthy labourers in full employ men t. We ore happy to be able to say, that the evil of which we. complain is partial, and that many coun- ties in England are nearly, if not totally, exempt from the- g- eievtHtce. In- Norihuniberlaudwages are l- 2s. a week ; and labourers, having- families, do not. usually receive assistance, from the Poor- rate. In Cumberland, wagres vary from 12s. to 15s. a week, and the report is equally satisfactory. In Lincolnshire, the wages are generally 12s. per week, and the labourers live in comfort and inde- pendence.. At Wigan, in Lancashire, wages are 7s. or Ss a week, aud relief is afforded to a man with three children ; in the division of Oldham, in the same county, a great manufacturing district, wages are from 12s. to ISs. a week, and no such practice is known. In Yorkshire, wages are generally 12s. a week ; but in some parts of that extensive uounry, the practice of giving married labourers assistance from the parish appears very prevalent. In Staffordshire, wages are about 10s.; and labourers, having families, only occasionally receive relief from the Poor- rate. In the divisions general anxious chiefly to get rid of Wis, office with as little trouble to himself as possible-; or, if he endeavours, iu spite of elauioiir and vexation, lo improtte ihe practice,, his designs are liable to be overset by tbe orders of ihe Magistrates, « ho,. wilh excellent intentions, are often not conversant with the details of the management of die parish in whose concerns they interfere. The. gi: eat-< ibject to be aimed at,, is, if possible, to separate the maiutaiuauce of the unemployed from the wages of the employed labourer ;. to di vide two classes, which have been confounded ; to leave the employed labourer i- n. possession of wages'sufficient to iiiui'iiiniu his family, and. lo oblige" the rest to work for the parish in the way uiost likely to prevent idleness. In , order to effect the purppse of separating the ages of employed labourers from the Poor- rate, i: appears to us that much might be done by affording to appellants ao- ainst I lie yearly accounts, the easie- l remedy of winch law admits" The A^ t f 50- Geo. 111. C. 49,. directs, that tbe . yearly accounts, to , be made Out, according ' ta prevroiM. Acts of . Parliament, shall be submitted to two, or more Justices at a Special Sessions . aad tlie Act empowers the Justices " if the? shall so ' think fit," to examine inlo the matter of cvery- snch account, aud to " disallow and strike' out' of' every sucii account ail such charges and liavuitiits as they shall deem to he unfounded, and to" reduce such as fliey shall deem exorbitant; and tli. ey. lire lo pecifv Ihe cause for which am charge is disallowed ' reduced " Ndiwithstaliding this provision, it appe. Vs, tfiut. at present, even when a coniplniut is iHiide that fhe sums levied on the parish hare riot been applied according to the intention of file law, a piucticp has in some places prevailed, of directing the com- plainant to appeal to the Quarter This proceeding entails the employment of Counsel, and au expense both or'- money aa'd Vui'ie^ tviiitl, is both unnecessary and oppressive There is soni ! a u- biguity certaiuly in the word'Viiof- tiiided,'' eon-, taiued in the Actj'ust quoted ; ' eit: . •.• can.; ot well exist a doubt that it is inleniteii to apply. to ei ar « :(? s or payments . which do not ' c. niie within the scope nd intention of. the Poor Laws. On this, and ou al nost e very part of the subiect we may observe, that i' the payers of tile nMes do not com plain, aud thereby e .'. dU: the Re'iglibnnrin- r Justices lo execute t,.' e law at present existing, it i! s needless to atteuipt, bv u. v new Act, to prevent abuses permitted or connived al bv in is who hate the clearest , interfisi in repressing them- Above all, the farmers themselves ou- jht lo perceive, that an y praeiiee which leads lo d> jfrade the character of the labourer, . tends, iu tlie same degree, to diminish the value of his labour, aud to render agricultural property less secure, aud less desirable. By the Act of the 43d. of Elizabeth, it is ordered, tiiyt. ( he " Churchwardens and Overseers" shall take order, from time to time, with the consent of two or more Justices, tor setting to work the children of all snelv who shall uot he thouu- lit able to keep and maintain, theif children. I'liis pro. vision, while it clearly. shews . that the franiers of that Act never had it in contemplation to raise a fund fr. r the support of all the,^ biid.<., i of air iu- bourers, affords the means of remedyiny, in some degree, the existing evil of adiliiig lii'fhe wages of labour from the Poor- rale. Wherever, from ills inclination to work, parents earn less than tlit- v might do, in order to draw from ti e parish fund, it might be found highly useful that ihe parish officers, w ith the consent o'f the Magistrates, should instead of giving. money tothe parents, set to work their children, who would at the satire time be removed from the example, of idle or dissolute parents. But this, remedy must be used wilh caution, and. might be expedient, if applied in cases where the best labourers, with . their utmost exertions, cannot, earn sufficient to bring up tiieir children without parish assistance. According to the system at present, pursued ih many colonies, a scale of allowance is drawn up by Ihe Magistraies, fixing in money the sums which a labourer is to receive, ill proportion to ihe size of his family, aud the current- price of ( l,> ur or meal. On this allowance, whether idle or,.• industrious, the labourer relies as a right ; a. ud wheii he receives ess, he makes au angry appeal to a. Magistrate, not as a petitioner for charity, but as a. claimaiit for justice. Without questioning the fitness of the scale upon which these tables have beeu framed, we can not. hat regret thai , the Magistrates- should pto. mulgate general regulations^ the obvioits; tefideiicv of which is to reduce the rate of wages, and create dissatisfaction between the labourer and his. em- ployer. It has been thrown out that, the practice of gi ving relief to able bodied labourers'on iiccouut of their impotent children ought lo be positive, ly forbidden by legislative enactment:-.' Your Committee are. iioi prepared to go this leiigt. li; but they venture to suggest, that where wages have been reduced, with a view to supply the deficiency from- the p. ar- ish rates, relief might he refused to any person actually in the employment of an individual. The. . conse- quence'might certainly be to throw at first some married labourers entirely upon the parish, but in a short time it is probable a more wholesome system of pa ving the wages of labour would be permanently adopted. Much good has been effected iu some parts Of the country, by the adoption of what has been called ihe Cropedy or Oundle plan, or labour rale ; and a Bill has been introduced into the House, for gitntig to such a plan, adopted under certain regulations, the force of law. It appears to us quite impossible to frame, any Act on this subject w hich shall. meet every case, but a general sanction might be- exi tremely beneficial ; aud the following form, which hill been suggested, appears a, unexceptionable as any. Indeed it is very similar io oue contained in a Bill brought into the House iu ail early pari; of the Session : — ". The parishioners in vestry shall, if they think lit, draw up rules and regulVitious for the main, tainiince ot the old and impotent' and otlier poor unable to work, as also for the employment of the able poor ; and the same signed or agreed to by a majority in value, shall be presented to the Justices to be by them amended, approved, or rejected, or sent back for alterations, and when adjusted to the satisfaction of the justices and parishioners, to be parochial law for oue year:" With respect to tile sfccbnd object, the mode of finding'employment- for those who profess them selves unable to obtain it, it appears to your Com- mittee,.- that the parish should,, if it be possible, provide tlieui with labour less acceptable, in its nature than ordinary labour, and at lower wages than theaverage rate of the neighbourhood. Your Committee can add, that this method has been found practically beneficial in all places where it has been cai ried into effect. It must never be forgotten, in considering this subject, that the evils produced by the Poor Laws are different iu different places all the good effects hitherto produced have been accomplished by improved innuagenient.; and that, If those effects have not been more general", it is because the inanagenieht of the poor has in the greater part of the country improved very little. For the purpose of hastening and ensuring such improvement, your Committee feel inclined to recommend to more general adoption the appoint- ment of select vestries, and of assistant overseers receiving a salary. The greatest evils arise from intrusting a business, so complicated, to inexperi- enced aud inefficient officers ; and m icb benefit lias been prod need ' by taking- advantage of the provisions of the 5. i: h Geo. III. c. 12, ou this subject.— The greatest amendment may likewise be made by a judiemits attention to tha't part of the Act wherein a select vestry is required to " inquire into mid determine tipon tbe proper objects of relief,, and the nature aiid amount of the relief to be given ; and in each case glial!' take into consideration the character and conduct of the poor person to be relieved, and . shall be at liberty to distinguish, in the relief to be granted, between the deserving and the idle., the extravagant or. profligate poor." In. a Bill introduced into the House in an. earjy part of the Session, there is a clause imposing- 011 the Quarter Sessions the duty of controlling the parish accounts, which are ordered lo be laid heto. re 4. hem,. and enabling them to appoint au examiner to look into Ihe expenditure of each parish. Whether,, in the shape . in Which it at present, stands, this provision is fit to be adopted, yve will not decide ; but iu the opinion of niajiv persons i: might be useful lhat; the Quarter Ses^ l'oiis should appoint in inspector of parisii ' aecoiinis, whose diity it should be: to report to the Magistrates the state of tlie poor,' und: 10 point out any flagrant instance of negligence or abuse. A more regular and distinct method of keeping tlie parish accounts might likewise prove bigli y advantageous. At the same . time we cannot 100 strongly express our opinion, that even as the law at present stands, much might be done bv the ngilant and enlightened attention of tiie Magistrates. If they point out to the farmers the mischievous consequences of placi ng their labourers upon the public fund ; if they would discountenance the abuses which prevail, and give every support to those who eiideavour to reform the present system, there can he 1I0 doubt that ,' reat good might he effected. Tlie farmers themselves have adopted it unwillingly, and must he fully aware of its mischievous effects. The distress which has so long restrained the application of agricultural capital is now happily disappearing, and there never was a more favourable moment for reforming an abuse, w hich in very few places is as yet of thirty years' growth. Let'the Magistrates and, generally, all charged with the adiujusfrutibn of the Poor Laws, observe, that if these laws hare heeo retained with the humane purpose of pre- serving honest indigence from starving, and re- ined, ing any sudden' want ' of employment, \ et, that if misapplied, tliey'may become a greater evil to tbe country than any partiiil uiisfortuue or temporary calamity could inflict.

The chain conductor of ihe Flyinu Bridge, on Ihe Lairygave way, and for a time rendered its Bridge useless ; bill hy ihe exertions of ihe men it was soon repaired. However, about one o'clock il being then iiear low " ater, the same occurrence agftiu look place, and lire Bridge was again torn from ils posi- tion. HoatS, timber, & c. were swept awny by tho great flax and reflux of the tide, which continued at . intervals. until four o'clock eu Wednesday morning ( being about. three. quarters flood), w hen il began to assume a moie formidable and terrific appearance. The ordinary- velocity of the tide being not more than two knots per hour, was now observed to run froili ' seven lo eiVfit, at intervals of from 13 to 15 minutes, - and. sometimes 20 uiiunl- s. As Ihe time of liiuli water approached, Ihe flux nod reflux was more powerful, and of longer duration, probably occasion- It by the Unfinished ends of the Breakwater being at al time overflowed. From nine till about iwelve lock, the river, of Calwnter was impassable, ex- eepling bv. taking advantage of going wilh the cur- rent, and the same 111 feinming.

The appearance of the elements now was truly wonderful; distant claps ot thunder,— heavy lowering clouds, some risiiig'iu different posiiious, iinii other? floating iu a horizontal direction, oc- casioned, no doubt, from the extraordinary variations of the wind blowihi fresh iu putt's from every quarter of Ihe compass in a short space of time, with intervals of calln. Some idea of the extraordinary rapidity of the current, may be imagined, when it is asserti d, from the miniilesl observations, that Ihe flux or fresh Iliio tide, at times, was2 feet 2 inches perpendicular iu five minutes, and again actually made a fi flax of 3 feel 6 inches in the same short space ol itisie, leat- llg up the. soil from Ihe bottom nf the river, the agitated thick surface of which resembled tlie hotting of a pot.

About half- past two, P. M., the tide began to resume its regular course. No doubt we shall sunn hear of some extraordinary convulsion of nature iu some part of the world. I11 1798 a siiiiilarocCurreiiee took place, about the lime of the dreadful earthquake in Sienna, which so allow, ed up many thousands ef our fellow creatures.-— Ply mouth Journal. Wednesday morning one of the most violent storms of rain, accompanied bv a Iremendoas clap of thunder, took place al Weymouth ; previous lo w hich the sea appeared in an extraordinarily convulsed stale, and on a sudden approached the Esplanade wall, a dis- tance of 30 yards from the water's edge,, and again rushed hack. During the short period of this phe- nomenon a small vessel approaching the harbour was seen to he aground 011 Ihe same spot as ihe Packet had a few minutes passed over with a flowing sheet. A'remarkable influx of the tide was observed at Milfofd 011 Wednesday morning : it was high water in that harbour about 8 o'clock, being the height of Ihe spring, and when the tide had ebbed at least three feel perpendicular, it ' again flowed to high water mark,- receded, and letnnied a second tiWlo that height, a circumstance which has not been ob- served there forinauy years. [ Similar phenomena were observed on other parts of the coast, attended w ith thunder- storms in vari- ous places.] HYDROPHOBIA.— William Hurst, 17 years of age, son of Mr. Samuel Hurst, of ibe Bell In", High- Street, Manchester, died, on the IO1I1 instant, of hydrophobia, occasioned by a dog, belonging to the deceased's father, having licked the blind of the deceased, upon- a bleeding wart, upwards of three weeks previous. Ou the same day iliai he had been incautiously allowed lo lick the wart, Ihe dog was destroyed 011 suspicion of his being mad, in conse- quence of his haying bitten several persons — This sad event has caused a great sensation in Manches- ter ; and in llie . i- ourse Of last week the immense number otfre hundred and sixty- six dogs have been destroyed, by persons duly appointed to Ihe un- pleasant hut neee- sary duty, in the townships of Manchester, Salford, and Chorltou Row.— The last dog killed in. Chorlton l! ow was 011 Wednesday : since that day the officers have not found one at large, though previously the township might be said to " be overrun with them.

A respectable manufacturer of Birmingham while looking over some premises under sale in Aston- street, 011 Monday week, was seized by tt ferocious yard dog, near the kennel of which, from'its oh. seure situation, he had'too closely approached before lie perceived his danger. His left thigh was badly lacerated hy the aiiimal, and under ihe fears to which the present existence of rabid disorder among the specie, naturally give rise, he has considered it necessary to undergo surgical treatment, to secure him against any worse effects than those arising from ihe laceration. • This accident will surely in- duce those who keep dogs for the safety of their premises, lo he careful iliat ihey shall he secured al sufficient distance lo seeore protection to pr isons who ai i v liaye occii- siua in the liny. tiuie to- pass their kennels. • ...

For the Salopian Journal.'] We believe it is not generally known, that, ou the 17th of June last, " An Act for ascertaining and establishing Uniformity of Weights and Mea- sures" received the' Royal Assent, by which so much of former Statutes, Ordinances, or Acts, as relate to establishing Weights or Measures, is repealed from ami aner the Ist clay of May, 1825 ; after which period, no maker of weights or mea- sures is to make auy weight or measure. but ill con- formity with the standards established by this Act; and after which day all contracts far sale, See. are to be deemed to be made according to the standards established by this Act, except in cases where special agreements shall he made with reference to any weight or measure established by local custom, and in such special agreements care must be taken to specify the ratio or proportion which such local weight or measure bears lo the standard by this Act. established. Ill order to bring the matter concisely before our readers, it may be shortly stated, tllat the present measure of LENGTH is the same as the one established by the New Act. The standard of WEIGHT and of the measure of CAPACITY is, however, varied by the New Act. The Troy Pound is to consist of the same number of grains under the New Act as under the former Act, viz. 5,7811; but the Pound Avoirdupois is to. consist of TWO grains —[ We believe the present Avoirdupois Pound is 7004J grains.] The Standard Gallon, by the Nvw Act, is to be, the same for AI. L measures of- capacify, as well fo liquids us for dry goods, and is to contain lQTjis. avoirdupois of" pure or rain water, at the tempera, tore ol" 62 degrees of Fahrenheit's thermometer being equal to 277 cubic inches aud 274 one- thou- sandih parts of a cubic inch ; aud all other measures of" capacity are to he made ill proportion to this standard gallon.—[ We believe the present spirit gallon is equal to 231 cubic inches; the present ale gallon to 282 cubic inches; and the present dry measure gallon to 268 cubic inches antl 6 eighth parts of a cubic inch.— It will therefore be requi- sile to observe the difference made by the new standard of capacity, as all sales are, after the 1st of May, 1825, to he made by weights or measures of the sizes established by tiie new standard ; or if made by the existing weights or measures, suphj weights or measures must be marked so as to shew the proportion which they bear to the standard, established by the New Act; and ihere is to be no difference in the size of the gallon or measure used, in reference to measuring of spirits, ale, or dry goods that, are not measured by heaped measure.} Within six mouths from the passing of this Act, the Magistrates of counties, cities, towns, & e. are to provide models of the weights and measures by it established, as models for the weights and mea- sures to be used in such counties, cities, towns, & c.. extending them by a reformation of abuses. The one monopolised all the loyally, aiid ttie oilier all ihe independence, in the land, and each with equal pretensions— that is, wilh none at all. The legal fiction of " Constructive Treason" was invented in those clays, aud explained with such consummate clearness, iu a speech of nine hours, by llie present Lord Chancellor, then Attorney.

Hats. Foa THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. Of the general Objects of a Humane Society, if such could possibly be established in the Town of Shrewsbury. The objects of a Humane Society are two- fold. The tirsl relates to peisons, who, by receiving- immediate assistance when iu imminent, danger of drowning, are rescued, by such assistance, from accidental death, Tbe second relates to individuals, who, from whatever eatu> e, are in a slate of sus- pended animation. Within a period of-, li( ty years the Royal Humane Society iu London has paid rewards to nearly tweutv- oue thousand claimants,, for cases of the first description. Heroic and affect- ing instances are oil record, ill which individuals, from a spirit of humanity, have exposed their. own persons to the most imminent hazard, in order to save a fellow- creature from perishing Animated,! too, by the rewards of such au institution, men have fearlessly plunged into tiie water, aud trusted to their strength and dexterity for success in bring- ing persons who were sinking to the shore. ' f? have' seen ropes carried round the body of a hold swimmer, frequently through the midst of a raging surge, ami tbe deliverer aud delivered, have returned together in triumph from tbe fi. igjitful waters. With reference to the second case to which such an institution should direct its . attention, namely, those in which the vital functions are suspended, let it lit; remembered, that, iu consequence of no socli institution existing, parties are frequently left to perish, under the false impression that they are actually dead. Let us bring tlie objects of slid an institution fairly home to our own families. It; cliiim will tlius appear too imperative to he resisted. A child, perhaps an only child, iu whose playful spoils we had been participating half au Ii our. before, heedlessly ventures upon a piece of ice, which breaks from under him, or, while playing on the brink of a river, fulls into the stream : Ihe, alarm is sounded, an heroic individual, animated by an impulse of humanity, and encouraged by tbe rewards of a Society, exposes bis own life to suc- cour and to save ; but, alas 1 the short struggle of Nature has passed ;— our child, who left us in all the. flush of youthful promise is now brought to the home which so lately resounded with his voice— a pale and breathless corpse ! Is this a hopeless case? A few minutes only elapsed before he was drawn out of the water hy the efforts of his deli- verer. Who shall estimate the worth of an instill! tiou which would provide for the twn- fold objects; of his timely rescue and eventual, recovery ? Who,, hut the parent, whose child was dead aud is alive again ? What parent shall venture to suy, that such ii case may not he his own! If some of our, spirited townsmen would come forward, I have no doubt the great object of establishing the institu.; tion above alluded to would very soon be accoin plisbed. E. W. July yah, 1824. [ PROM THE SHUFPIELN IRIS.] Thirty years ago, there were many hundred millions of human beings alive who are now dead It requires not the aid of inspiration to forelel the same catastrophe respecting hundreds of millions now living, iu thirty years to come.

Peddle v. Evans.— This was a question as to the validity of one of two wills, which were executed by the testator, Mr. Evan Evaus, who was a painter and glazier at Bristol.— Sir John Nichnll, in delivering his judgment, said, ihe cause contained so mainy fads, that it was a matter of no little difficulty to compass, ibeiu iu ordinary bounds'. The deceased was a native of Llangouovd, in Glamorganshire, and iu his youth went lo Bristol, aud married : — he was a mini of verv penurious habits, aud by bis business realized a property of between two and three thou- sand pounds value, llis wife died in 1816, and" ha ving no children, be took the son and daughter of a sister, from Llandaff, to live with him; the son turned out very wild, and went for a soldier, and the daughter was appietiiieed to a tmm t ua- nii, Le r ami die,! soon after. Tbe deceased was godfather lo the wife of, Mr. Peddle, who was a neighbour at Bristol ; and in 1819, he, being infirm, empowered Mr. Peddle to manage his affairs. In July of the same year he executed a will, by which lie be- queathed to Mrs Peddle, a freehold mansion ; to his sister at Llandaff, he left £ 50; and to Mr. Peddle, he left ihe residue of his property, value upwards of £ 20110, and appointed liiiu executor. In 1821,. the deceased' Was attacked with paialysis aud rheumatic gout; and'in Jane of the same year his sisler and niece came to Bristol, nnd called upon him, irnil at his request remained w ith him for several mouths ; when ihe deceased said, u change of air would do him good ; and in September, William Evans, who had married ibe niece of the deceased, came lo see liilll lit Bristol, and on llie 8th ol* that mouth tbe deceased and Evans removed from Bristol to Llan- daff, where William Evans resided. After the arrival of the deceased at Lhuidaff, on the 25th of September, 1821, lie executed another will, by which he gave £ 10 to each of his niece's children, and Ihe residue of his property he bequeathed to Jennet ' Evans, bis niece, who was appointed executrix. On the 3d of October following, the deceased executed a power of attorney to William Evans, giving him authority to receive of Mr. Peddle, all bis papers and properly. Mr. Peddle refused to deliver flic same up, aud proceeded to Lltindaff to ascertain the stale of the deceased's mind and body, and if ( lie power of attorney wus valid; and Mr. Peddle, his attorney, several medical genlleiiien, find the relatives of the'deceased had a meeting, and a compromise was proposed, mid an arrangement nearly entered into, when some niisunderstahdiirg occurred, and the conference broke up without coming to any terms. On ihe I3tb of December following, ihe deceased died, and Mrs. Jeuuet Evans came up to London, and took out probate of the last will. The probate was soon afterwards called in by M'r. Peddle, who commenced tile present suit, and alleged that ihe deceased was induced to make the last will by fraud and collusion, when his mind was in a state of extreme imbecility; and lie was utterly incapacitated hy infirmity from executing such an instrument. Evidence on tbe other baud was adduced, to shew that the deceased was in possession of his faculties al tlie lime of the- last will in favour of his relatives, and the court after commenting on the contradictory nature of the evidence, and observing on that part which had been given in support of the last will, which went to shew, tliat tbe deceased, though at times in a torpid state, vvas at other times in complete enjoyment of hi's intellects-; said thai there appeared every reason to hetieve that tbe mind of the deceased was not. iu a stale of irrecoverable childishness when lie removed from Bristol, but varied with tile con- dition of• his body; that after his leoioval from Bristol, his genera I conduct was that of a man enjoying his reason, anil capable of knowing what lie was performing; and when lie gave the power of at- torney llie evidence clearly proved the deceased's capacity. Tbe Learned Judge therefore pronounced . judgment in. favour of. the will of" the 25tli of Sept 1821, and ordered probate to be granted lo the same.— Tbe sentence-, appeared lo give general satisfaction, as Ihe deceased's poor relatives thereby became possessed ofthe property. PARISH REGISTERS.— In the course of some proceedings in the Court of Chancery, last week, the LORU CHANCELLOR said be could not refrain from niaklngoue or two observations on tbe pernicious neglect which generally prevailed, or at any rate bad hitherto prevailed, in the keeping of parish registers. By the 70th cation of the Church, tbe officiating clergyman was hound to insert every bap- tism at the time of administering it, and a correct copy of every day's proceedings : this and the other rites of the Church were to betaken each day, which extracts were to be remitted every week to the Court of the Bishop. So loosely were these arrange meats complied with, tlitit he remembered a case having been nearly lost in the House of Lords, be cause the original register could not be found, aud tlreir Lordships were unwilling to admit a duplicate, until be reminded them that if this strictness of evi, deuce were introduced, it would in almost every case be found quite impossible to establish a pedi gree. He also remembered, that when be went the Circuit they tried a cause in a town which was a county of itself, in which they got a verdict by producing a copy of tbe register. The nejit day they had a case of much more considerable properly, claimed by the same party, to be tried in the county at large. It was thought necessary over night to liave the duplicate compared with llie register, and the effect of that inspection was, that they did not venture- to go to- triul next liny. PROCESSORS OF THE LAW.— There are one hundred and sixty eight names affixed in front of the Court of King's Bench, printed hy the Metro- politan Law Society, of persons applying to be admitted as Attorneys. There is a fully pro- portionate increase uf young Barristers; and to keep all in countenance, there is no want of Acts of Parliament to " explain," " amend," or " con- solidate" former laws. And, what is still worse, all the Law Officers declare, lhat, " williin the memory of man," Ihey never were, so busy as now I What vvill Cobbett say to all this ?

AN INFALLIBLE BAROMETER, Put two drachma of pure nitre and half a drachm of chloride of ammonia, reduced to powder, into two ounces of spirits of wine, or pure alcohol, aad place this mixture in a glass tube, ten inches long, and eight lines iu diameter, the upper extremity, pi' which must be covered wilh a piece of skill or bladder, pierced with small boles. If the weather is to be fine, the solid matters remain at the bottom of tbe tube; and tbe alcohol is as trans:- parent as usual. If- rain is to fall in a short time; some of the solid particles rise aud fall in the alcohol, which becomes somewhat thick aud troubled Wheu a storm, a tempest, or even a squall is about to come on, all tbe solid matters rise from tbe bottom of the tube, and form a crust On the surface of the alcohol, which appears in a state of fermentation.

PERKINS'S STEAM ENGINE.— We understand that Mr. Perkins has at length completed his ap. paratus, so as to demonstrate to a select party of friends, the power of'bis. engine, by lifting a given volume Of water through a, certain height. Tbe history of this great invention, w hich M r, Perkins has published for the use of his: friends, exhibits an interesting pietiire- of the progress ofxliscovery in a mind eapable of availing itself of those facts and views which accident and speculation frequently present to it. The tremendous explosions which ofteu take place iu iron fotmderies when1 a drop of water has. got into the mould, and other facts, con- vinced Mr. Perkins t, hat water conftned by pressure until it became sufficiently charged with heat, was capable of exerting a force almost incalculable The interest excited in England by steam engines turned his attention, particularly, to their construc- tion. In his earliest speculations. he was convinced that much heat was lost, in consequence of a sheet of steam being sometimes formed at the hjt oin of the boiler, at the, commencement of ebullition. Iu this case the bottom becomes red hot, and the beat escapes by radiation, in place of being. given off to tbe water. Hence. Mr. Perkins. was. led to the idea of compressing the water in, a close vessel with iiigi pressure, ill. order topre- vent ebullition, and com. pel the. water lo take up the heat.

J Cleanliness.— One of the most important pre- cepts for the preservation of health is to take care of the Skin. The most ignorant person knows, that proper care of the Skin is indispensably necessary for the well- being of horses, & c. The groom often denies himself rest, that he may dress and curry his horses sufficiently ; it is therefore wonderful that the enlightened people of these days should neglect the care of their own skin so much, that we may, without exaggeration, assert, that, among the greater part of mankind, the pores of the skin are half closed, and unfit for use. The Wheeler Insect is a curious microscopical object. Take a little dust of rotten timber and a drop of water ; by- and^ by the insect appears, two hoins arise on its head, and then a wheel, the velocity of which is surprising. It sails among the dust as if anumg islands. The wheel seems in tended by suction to draw in numbers of smaller insects, its food.

HURRICANE AT THE MAURITIUS - A letter from Port Louis, Mauritius, dated 28th February, says, 41 On the 23d insl. this island was assailed by a hurricane equalling that of 1818 in ils fury, and the ravages it has caused. The greater part of the vessels in this port are thrown upon each other on shore, several literally heaved out , of tbe water, and cast upon the quay; hardly a ship's boat or lighter has escaped without damage, many to a great extent. As to the interior, all the plantations are devastated, sugar houses, mills, canes, and crops of every description destroyed ; and all the coffee and clove trees swept away, so that tbe colony can produce no more of either for years to come. Ill the town and the vicinity, houses are upset, and many persons killed. It is feared they have bad something similar at Boui'bWi" At meetings of the merchants, spinners, and, manufacturers of the town and neighbourhood of Manchester, on Monday week, and of the principal inhabitants of Birmingham and its vicinity, on Thursday last, handsome subscriptions were en- tered into, in aid of that commenced in the Metropolis, for the purpose of erecting, a Monu- ment to tbe memory of the lale James Watt.— A similar meeting was held in Edinburgh on Friday, DUELS On Wednesday nduel was fought in a field near Hampstead, between C.

Mr. Little maintained that Mr. Forbes wore glasses to remedy an organic defect. Mr. Osborne disclaimed any unkind intention, bnt on the part of his friend would maintain his former objection. Mr. Forbes demanded tbe cause of tbe delay, was informed of the objection, and removed If be impediment, reaiiirkiBg, he would be content to fight blindfolded, The parties fired by signal.

The late Lord Byron's Will passed Ihe Seal of the Prerogative Court ill Doctors' Commons on the fith instant, probate being granted to John Cain Hobhouse, Esq. and John . titration, of Chancery. lane; Esq. the executors. The personal estate in England was sworn under £ 10,000. The will is dated the 29th nf July, 1815, and, with the exception of a bequestAf- £ 1000 each to his Lordship's executors, is made solely to benefit his sisler, Augusta Mary Leigh, wifeofGeorge Leigh, Esq. mid her children; Lady Byron and any family she might have, being slated to be otherwise amply provided for. The manor or Lordship of Rochdale, in the County of Lancaster, is given to the executors in trust to be sold for the above purposes; as is also the manor and estate of Newstead, in the connty of Nottingham, which latler is subject to a charge of £ 60,000' for fulfilling tbe trusts. of his marriage settlement, but which sum, or any part thereof, not so appropriated, is to constitute part of the general estate. Mrs Leigh is to have a life interest free from her husband's controul, and her children arc to inherit the principal, according to appointment hy her will or otherwise, and failing inch provision, in equal portions, to sons at 21, and to daughters at that age or marriage, with benefit of survivorship.

MATCH ON FOOT OF 280 MILES IN 96 HTTURS. — A pedestrian from Cumberland of the name of Siieath finished his performance ai six on Wednesday morning. The match was for 200 sovereigns, to start from the Haymarket, and to travel into seven coun- ties, so as not to pick tbe roads. It is one of the greatest feats ever attempted. Tbe start took place at six o'clock on Saturday morning. Tbe pedestrian went to Thotetlain, 53 miles to dinner, iu 14 hours, and he performed 76 miles, and had three hours rest io tile first 24 hours. He lurried off near Devizes, Wilts, to Salisbury, and thence toWeyhill, Hants, and did 72 miles the second 24 hours, and then took route to Southampton, and stayed and refreshed in the neighbourhood of Complon,. near Winchester, the third 24 hours, lie bad 67 miles lu do tbe last day, after sleep and other refreshment. He went 30 miles lo dinner, reached Hartley- row ateight o'clock in the afternoon, having 36 miles to perform in the remaining ten hours. He balled a few, minutes at gshot and al Slnioes, took tea nt Hounsluw, and won Ihe match with a quarter of an hour to, spare. Captain Murray, the umpire, states, that llie pedes- trian was never much fatigued after thesecond day's journey. This is Ihe greatest feat known of. It having been recently stated ill several papers, lhat the life of J. CowcrSon, the man who was lately bitten by an adder near this city, is despaired of ; we are requested by the mcdical gentleman who attended him, to observe, that be is perfectly recovered, and capable of resuming his accustomed employment. As the remedy to be used on such an occasion cannot be too generally known, the same gentleman recommends that a tea- spoonful of hartshorn, in half a wine- glass of cold water, should be given Ihe patient, if it full grown person, as soon as possible after the accident, and forty drops every fifteen minutes afterwards, as long as ihe dangerous symptoms continue ; but as they subside, tbe medicine must be discontinued ; the dose should, of coarse,, be in proportion to tbe age of file person bitten, as for instance, ten or twelve drops to a child two years old. If tbe bite be in eiI her of the arms or legs, which is generally tbe case, a bandage or ribbon should be immediately fastened around the limb, with a moderate degree of tightness, between the injured part and Ihe body, and kept 011 until tbe constitutional symptoms have abated, or medical assistance can be pro- cured.— Salisbury Journal. On Monday, as a fine boy, of poor parents, about five years of age, was amusing himself, hy letting pebbles fall over Ihe Pump Groyne, he suddenly lost his hold, and tbe next instant was immersed in the liquid element. A dog belonging to a seafaring man, named Martin, beheld the disaster, and plunged to the, assistance of the infant Tbe child, in his struggles, got his arms round the neck of his canine friend, which was of Ibe small mastiff kind, and held him so tightly, lllal both, for some time, were in danger of perish- ing. The latter catastrophe, however, was pre- vented, by their drifting wilh the tide, so as lo be reachcd, by the extension of an arm, from the: summit of the Groyne, over which both bad passed, and over which both were brought back to land, fast locked together as mentioned, ami before any very essential injury had been sustained by either.

This sum at that time was considered to be an enornlous price for so small a piece of ground, but the purchaser of il has since sold about half of it in several small lots, and thus will be enabled to make more than double the sum lie gavei for it: for instance, one small piece, ten yards by forty only, was sold on Saturday se'nnight for £ 200, being 10s. a yard, and consequently after the rate of £ 2,420 per acre.

The warp is of - cotton; and Ihe weft of wool; and all colours, quantities, and widths may be had. It wears well, and in some colours looks very genteel. The chief recommendations of this fabric are its cheapness, durability, and incombustibility; not that it will not burn, but it takes fire witb diffi- culty, and is on that account well adapted for children's wear. The Cassinette makes a very pleasant dress, particularly in winter, and though it is little more than the same price as calico, it will, wear three times as long, and save a fourth dress in washing,— Hull Advertiser.

In giving an account ofa recent entertainment in London, tbe Etoile translates " small- clothes" petils vetemens, and adds in a note, that the English ladies will not permit this part of their dress to be called by its true name, and that they also give it the appellation of " necessary." This is quite new and highly comical. It would certainly lead a Frenchman into some glorious mistakes.

Some years since a Jew, who dealt in diamonds, going accidentally into a public bouse in Wapping, happening to want change for a guinea, occasioned the landlady to pull out Ihe contents of her pocket in search of a sixpence to make up the sum, among w hich a large pearl was noticed by the Jew, which the landlady said was given her hy a sailor, and had been carried in her pocket for several years. The Jew betraying much anxiety to pur- chase it, so enhanced its value in the possessor's opinion, that her husband applied to an eminent jeweller in the city, and sold it for so considerable a sum, that retiring from business soou after, and, purchasing ground near Holywell Mount, he built a row of houses, to which be gave the name of Pearl- place, in commemoration of the incident. During the late disturbances among the stock-, ing weavers in Lincolnshire, a party of the unem- ployed workmen entered a small village, obliged tbe inhabitants to desist from working, and threat, euiug them wilh the worst consequences if Ihey dared to resume their occupation till things tuok a turn. Passing by one of the cottages, they heard a loom at work, and knocking at the door, desired tbe inmate, a poor soldier, to strike, or they would kill him. The soldier ruse, seiised a thick club, and holding it in an attitude of defence, thus addressed them: " I have served under Ihe Duke of Wellington, and 1 was at Waterloo— I fought and was wounded in defeuce of liberty and my country^ and I am still able, willing, and deter- mined to fight for it IHW; the first who dares to stir a foot nearer to my door, may reckon himself a dead mail." This menace was as unexpected as confounding ; each was ashamed of being in such a crowd, defied by a single man ; many slunk off, and the leaders, fearful of losing their whole force, struck up the drums, aud turned another way, while tiie old soldier, retiring to his loom, set to work again in the hearing of the mob, but not one presumed lo return and again disturb him.— CNorthampton Mercury.)
