Afteft-' tlie ground liat| been cleared and paths. cht^ not without great labour and fatigue, in V irions ' cliiecnoiis', tow'ards the enemy's camp, the attack commenced. The engagement was long' and sanguinary * it lasted upwards of five hours, wheu live enemy retreated precipitately, after experi- eucirtg very considerable loss in killed, wounded, and prisoner?.' The retreat continued for two day/*; but - it was" ascertained that the Kitig of the A shan tft e s ' ha d Su bs equ e ally-, joined his army with eoiVST^ critblfr f enforcements j which it was estimated wVmld make the' whole, force amount to 16,000 men. v Ttfe l'antees! ahd ' Otl( i? r ' co- operating native Powers, . conducted themselves, during the batile, in a . manner extremely unsatisfactory to Major Chisholm, who, consequently,' was not only prevented from pursuing, the enemy, hut obliged to retire to his former position. It was, ascertained from the prisoners, that the enemy had resolved to make an attack upon the Castle, which the presence of thei King\ it was supposed, vvould expedite. Our loss was inconsiderable-. I he rainy season had begun, and the prisoners reported that the small- pox and dysentery had committed- very considerable ravages in the Ashantee camp.

On Friday last, a Special Meeting of the Guardians of the Poor of tire Six United Parishes incorporated within the Town aiid Liberties of Shrewsbury was held, pursuant fO the notice inserted in bur last Journal, for the purpose of appointing what ritfmber of the Committee named at the last meeting of the Guardians, held on the 12th July,/* shall be a Quorum to manage the business assigned to tlie said Committee: to fix the time and place for the first meeting of the said Committee-: and to deter- mine the funds out of which the disbursemenra or the Committee shall be paid." From 80 to 90 of the Guardians accordingly^ assembled. Mr. Tudor and Mr. HazletihW were severally requested to take the chair, but they, declined ; Mr. Carl ine was then unauirnouslyeallell' to the chair, and he stated the nature of the business5 for which they were assembled. JOHN BATHER, Esq. said he had a communication to make from the parish of St. Alkmond. A parish meeting was held yesterday, which he attended, and though at first a majority of those present appeared to be against the continuation of the Incorporation of the United Parishes, yet, after the- husiness had been discussed, they had adopted the resolution which he wouM now read : " At a Vestry Meeting held in the Yestry Room of the Parish of St. Alkmond, on Thursday, the 29th day of July, 1824, pursuant to notice in Church and . on the Church- Door on Sunday last: u It not appearing by any evidence that this parish would benefit by the proposed dissolution of the House of Industry, and no provision having been made for the pay--, ment of the Law Expenses in case . of faihtre: " Resolved, That this- parish, deem it most prudent to remain as they are: , " That this Resolution be communicated to the meeting at the House of Industry to- morrow. " RICHD. WAGE, Vestry Clerk/' Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR then said he had a com- munication to make on the part of the Parish of Holy Cross, which he read, as follows " Holy Cross and 8b Giles's Vesting/, f. " At. a. regular Parish Meeting', held this 8th day of July, 1824, legally assembled, agreeably to notice given in ' tlie Church on Sunday last: Present, Rev. W. G. Rowland ( Chairman), Mr. P. Wat- kis, Mr. J. Carline, Mr. J. Tomkies, . Mr. George Youngs Mr. Matthew Price, Mr. Henry Hiles, Mr. Richard Bet- ton, Mr. John Williams, Mr. James Hiles, Mr. Thomas Meabry, Mr. Charles Oliver, Mr. William Hams, Mr. Richard Taylor, Mr. John Wood, Mr. J. G. Brayrie, Mr, John Hig'ley, Mr. Joseph Palmer, Mr. William Taylor, Mr. John Rogers, Mr; Edward Wood, Mr. John Evans: " After the proceedings otf the Vestries ot July and Sep-, tember, 1818, relating- to the Equalising or ' Dissolving- the > present Incorporation of the United Parishes, had been., read, and also statements to show the existing inequality, of the Averages paid by the United Parishes for the sup- port of the Poor : " It was unanimously Resolved, That the Parish do take all measures to separate themselves from tlie Incor- poration of the Six United Parishes: " It'was also Resolved, That the following Seven Gentle-? men form a Committee for the purpose of carrying the same into effect; and that any three of them be empowered to act: viz. Mr. P. Watkis, Mr. J. Tomkies, Mr. W. Tay- lor, Mr. James Kil. es, Mr. William . Hams, Mr. Josephs Palmer." J. BATHER, Esq. stated, that there were, per- haps 30 persons present at the parish meeting of St. Alkniond ; the resolutions were carried unani- mously. Mr. Hughes, a respectable inhabitant of' the parish, was present, but he did not hold hjfehand^ up for or against the resolutions, he, as| ignedv# ts very good reason for his conduct: he said, he waw a land occupier in the, Abbey Parish, though $ householder in St. Alkmond's, and as he had, in the Abbey Parish, assented to the resolutions for dissolving the House, it. would be inconsistent in him, though an inhabitant of St. Alkmond, to vote for resolutions of a contrary nature. The CHAIRMAN ( Mr. Carline) then read the requisition and notice for the present Special As- sembly of Guardians. Mr." ROBERT MOKRIS wished to . know whether bis name was included in the list ofthe Committee appointed at the last meeting : he was informed it was, and he now took the opportunity of stating tb. vt he should not act on that Committee.—-[ Mr. Morris was informed that, as senior churchwarden of St. Chad's parish, lie was included'. in the list ; on which he said, he was satisfied with this expla- nation, as , his connection with the duties of that: office would very shortly expire. j Mr. HAZLEDINE then read the resolution which, he said, he should propose to the meeting, for empowering any five of the Committee appointed on the 12th July to act as a Quorum, fixing the time, of their first meeting', & cc.; and he conclud- ed by formally proposing it for adoption. ( See Aclre'rt J— M- r.,'' TOMKIES seconded the motion. J. BATHER, Esq.—- Gentlemen, upon the resolu- tion which has just been read, and which embraces part of the motion this day to be submitted to you, I beg leave to address you for a short time. And, being of opinion, that every person should have a fair hearing ( for, on perusing a published account of what took place at your last meeting, I have been inclined lo think a fair and impartial hearing of the matter discussed did not take place), I trust the good sense of the present assembly, will point out the necessity of hearing every one's observations calmly, and not thatany person should, as it were, be hooted down by a mob ; but that, as. reasonable men, met to discuss a subject in a rea- sonable manner, we should g* ive an impartial hear- ing to every person who chooses to address us. It can be no part of the business of this day to discuss the propriety of dissolving the incorporation of the United Parishes ; that point, as far as the opinion of the Guardians goes, I take it, has been deter- mined by the resolutions of the last meeting. I shall, therefore, as there appears to nie to prevail a better temper on the present Occasion, proceed to make a few observations on the subject of that Committee, to a Quorum of which you are about to delegate the task of legislating'for the. Uni/ ed Parishes. Gentlemen, I am bound to fay,' a legal man, that neither that Committee, which;: . a£ relates to its selection, was fairly constituted, nor any Committee of Guardians, can legally act for any purpose affecting the interests of this corpora-:, tion. I shall not deny the right of the Guardians under the present Act to hold a Special Assembly, and to do such acts as the Statute I have alluded to empowers them to effect. The Directors, it is true, have many powers, and, among others, that of having a Committee, but no such power is given to the Guardians. You have, however, said a Com- mittee of Guardians is legal, for you have appointed one, and we will suppose that you have such a Committee; but it behoves the Guardians to see who thev may rely oil to act. The Rev. Arch- deacon Owen has been appointed on that Com- mittee; he, as I understand, will not act on it: the same may be said of Mr. Blakewav.* Mr. 11 AZ L E DI NR. — Th a ty Mr. Bather, is your assertion. You are not to dissect the Committee. I am aware of vour intention; but, Sir, you have no right to pull the Committee to pieces; . and if you do begin to pull the Committee to pieces, you must expect to be hooted: Sir, I shall hoot you. J. BATHER, Esq.— 1 have not attempted to pull the Committee to pieces. Mr. HAZLEDINE. - r- Youhave ; and, Sir, you have no right, here ; you may, in the Town Halt, / act as Counsel, but, Sir, you have no business here. J. BATHER, Esq.—'^ Business here!" Sir, T come as a Guardian, and not as a Counsellor ; and4 Sir, I have a right to deliver my sentiments. Mr. Hazledine must he aware that he is making an unmerited attack, in thus endeavouring to prevent me addressing the meeting, it will be time enough to call me to order when i make such an attempt as is imputed to me. Mr. HAZLEDINE. — The last time you met, Sir, you said I was nothing; and I mean to say here that I am something, r Laughter.), You also said my friend here, Mr. Carline [ the Chairman], was an old woman ; and Sir, I say, he is not an old woman ( Laughter J. J. BATHER, Esq.(' Smiling)— Really, Mr. Hazle- dine, this is very extraordinary : assuredly, I never used such expressions. Mr. HAZLEDINE.— It occurred at St. Alkmond's Vestry meeting yesterday. J. BATHES, Esq.— Certainly it did not ; and I am happy in observing Mr. Drury and other gen- tlemen now present who were at the meeting at St. Alkmond's ; they are men of respectability and integrity ; and I now ask them whether i used such expressions. Mr. Drury, and the other gentlemen referred to, said no such expressions were used by Mi'-. Bather. Mr. HAZLEDINE.— Here is a person who will swear you said so. J. BATHER, Esq.— Then let him swear it. The party alluded to did not coine forward ; and the discussion proceeded. Mr. HAZLEDINE ( To J. Bather, Esq.)— You made some very strong observations at'that meeting. You spoke of Mr. Langley as the Cu. rnte of St. Chad's, and of Mr. Stead, m a very slighting way. the Gu * The following is a list of the Committee, as appointed at the meeting on the 12th July :— Rev. Archdeacon Owen; Rev. J. B. Blake way, Rev. J. Langkv, Jonathan Perry, Esq. Rev. Edward Bather, John Wingaeld, Esq. Mr. Hazledine, Mr. Stead, Rev. W. G. Rowland, C. T. f. AUnatt, Esq. Mr. Carline, senior, and the Senior Churchwarden of each of the United Parishes for the time being. J. BATHER, Esq.— Certainly I did mention the names of Mr. Langley and Mr. Stead, but not in any ofl'ensive manner, t avow it here, Sir, that T did observe, after stating how many of the Com- mit tee had refused ( as I understood) to act in the matter of dissolving the House, that I thought the; United Parishes ought not to. be led, in a business, which involved the whole of their proper! v. in the parishes, by Mr. Langley, the curate of St. Chad's, or by Mr. Stead, the curate of Mr. Benyon. Mr. HAZLEDINE.— The clerk of Mr. Benyon. J. BATtiER, Esq,.— Why, Sir, 1 believe, the term It^ sed was, " Mr. Stead, the curate of Mr. Ben- yon ; V1 and in using- that te'rm I meant no disrespect either to Mr. Lang. ley or Mr. Stead. My bbservT ^ tTon went only to point- out that the connection of those gentlemen with the. U ni ted Parishes' was not oj. a. patuie that, I' thougvht,- nvoiild be generally considered as an equivalent' for our losing the s| i^^ es; ofthoSje gentlemen of the Committee whose-- property in and connection with the parishes was ofa more permanent description. Mr. STEAjy?~ If, Mr. Bather, you had considered- your own origin-, you might ha\ e recollected that your own ancestors filled situations not. more re- spectable than-- those to which you have alluded. J. BATHER, E- q. — Certainly, Sir; and, Sir, I made no remark that ought to have been construed into personal disrespect towards, any person. I merely remarked that if Mr. Owen, Mr. Blake way, Mr. Perry, the Rev. Mr. Bather, Col. Wingfreid, Mr. Rowland, and Mr. Allnatt,. who, as 1 under- stand, have expressed it to be their intention not to act, were taken from the list of those appointed on the Committed, and the Gentlemen remaining were to. be the leaders in the business, however i mj$ hi be inclined to respect those Gentlemen, I should not, and perhaps others would not., like the interests of the. United Parishes to be left to their decisions; nor would the Parishes, perhaps, like to have them- for thejr legislators. Mr. STBAO.— Sir, you must, be aware, and cer tainly I can express it as my own opinion, that if . the Gentlemen you have named should decline acting on the Committee, yet, as men possessing common Sense, the remaining parties can avail themselves ofthe opportunity they have of selecting other proper persons to till up the'vacancies. They can, too, avail themselves of such bought talents as are always to be had : of your own, Sir, for in- stance, which may he bad either for or against the dissolution. Sir, if 1 do not mistake, though the Committee should be depri ved of your assistance, or of that of your equally respectable brother, vet there are others remaining, who inav be called in, and in respect to whom, Sir, your situation in the ' United Parishes would weigh as a feather in tbe ? Sca! e. J. BATHEK, Esq. again referred to the names of those who would not, as he had been informed, act on the Committee, though appointed members of it at the last meeting ; and on observing that h understood Mr. Langley would act - • The Rev. J LANGLEY said, he had not intimated that he should act. X BATHBR, Esq. — I only presumed that Mr. Langley would { ict, because ) had not heard that he had expressed a disiiicliuatioM to act. Probabl, tf}| other avocations of the Reverend Gentleman mi^ P'- event him acting ; but. 1 can assure him I inad^ no personal remark relative tn him that cnui iipi- eonsidered as disrespectful let him adopt which •^^ rs. fj. he would. Mr. LANGLEV.— There could be no reason fo yfli| i; so< loing. • 5, J> 7 BATHER, Esq.— It appears, that there are not even five, the number of your proposed Quorum left to act. • Mr. EDGERLEY.— Sir, you should read on; you forget the Senior Wardens. J. BATHER, Esq — BUI- three of tiie parishes have declared their dissent to your proceedings. Mr. HAZLEDINE.— The Question is as to the ap pointment of a Quorum, and Gentlemen should con Sue themselves to that. I am cooler now ( a laugh), aifd am ready to listen to any thing on that poin J. BATHER," Esq.- pin referring to the appoi ment of a. Quorum, it is' right to observe that th Guardians have already chosen a Committee, am a| T I have before remarked, that Committee cann legally act: how, then, can any Quortnp be legal , appointed from if ? Tl. e parishes must be applied to on this subject. The Guardians are the persons who rent to the amount of £ 15 in the United Parishes, but they, are uot in this matter the leL represen'atives of' that much. more numerous ' bpd; the Ratepayers below that amount. The Guard iaus, or a (' ommiitee of the Guardians;, may, their Individual capacities, petition Parliament, f a dissolution ofthe lucorpVtvation of the United Parishes, but they cannot do so ou behalf of t Parishes; and they should, if they proceed tose adissolutiovi, proceed legally. The Committee, some one on their bebalf,. had stafeilthat the Houses " of:. Lords.?$ nd Commons. have already expressed an opinion in favour of dissolving such Corporations.-: But I think neither House could ever have con- templated the idea of delegating to any Comnrtiee sucif . powers as those which the Coinmittee - have invested themselves with. They are, in fact, to be our trustees for'administering the Poor Laws, as Wflj ns to sell the Mouse, to settle-. the - paupers, aud so fort-' h . If tbe parishes at " regular vestr y meetings choose to delegate their rigliis to certain persons, tlien. the acts of such persons would be binding ou them ; but the acts of the present Committee are not binding as it respects any one of the United Parishes. The Committee have, however, put a awyer in motion, for I have seen some letters signed on their behalf by a very respectable gentie- man,- Mr Williams ; and I should wish to know 1 « xw ] hey can legally raise a fund to proceed in their course for a dissolution ? vMr. vHAZLEDINE.— We have settled that, and I a^ g'hid that we, have. Counsel's opinion for f A laugh.) If, Sir ( to Mr. Bather), you t d isi uferested 1 y, no g* reate r abi Ii ties can be^ nijT'oy'ed by the Committee than your own. J. BATHER, Esq.—( To MR Hazledine.) Sir, I; rdid.: iiot ( Vnue heie to seek for business or for Complements ::, however, I am glad that you have M& Mluiized yi) ur road, so that we shall travel more smoothly together (" Laughter). For truly it is pleasant to have compliments from so rouglv- spokeii a Gentleman, f Laughter, and applause.) J. BATHER, Esq. proceeded.— Gentlemen, I have - only to request you to consider the subject in a leg" al point of view. I have been charged with speak- ing interestedly. I hope, Gentlemen, though my interests iu Meole as a landlord, and in the parish of St. Alkmond as a tenant, were opposed to each other; I hope, I say, that I know my duty as a man addressing a respectable body of men in a Case of importance to their interests. Whatever may be fhe apparent benefit derived to the parish of Bleole by the present incorporation, I would not assert that it is better for it to remain incorporated : I am not decided iu my own mind that if a secession from the union on the part of Meole was to take place, it would not be the most advisable step on her part :< . for- the Proprietors of land 1 think it wan hi. Your Committee have, however, found out'," after the hasty proceedings' of the last, meeting, that tht-- y have no Quorum — no money : and, profit- ing' by experience, they find that they must take some regular steps for those purposes: I say, they can only proceed regularly by applying to the respective parishes. Mr.' HAZLKDINB.— The Committee of Guardians are fully aware of their power to apply to the parishes iii their vestry meetings; anu certainly vve are not going to Parliament in the teeth of the parishes as it were. We have no Quorum, and we come to ask for one ; but. we have provided for the money ; and after the Committee have performed their work, the repayment of the money will be a question for the parishes to determine. J. BATHER, Esq.— If your requisition had been in accordance with your explanation, it would have been quite proper, and saved some trouble; but, as a legal man, seeing your requisition, I was startled. I shall, therefore, now alter the amend- ment I was about to propose to what I shall take the liberty of reading, But I will first read it as I had ori< » iualIy drawn it lip. It appearing' that the Guardians of the Poor can by law exercise no authority which shall be binding-. upon the Rate.- payers. of the United Parishes ; that the said Guard- ians can ^ nly legally assembled according, to the provisions of the Act of Incorporation"; and' that there is no provision ' ih sueh Act authorising the formation or sittmg.;: of ajCommittee of the said Guardians: and it appearing further, that a large number of Gentlemen novninated as a Committee at the late Special Meeting of the 12th day of July, have declined to act: Resolved, that it is not expedient to appoint any ( iuornm of the said Committee, or to take any means to add to their number, but that the same be forthwith dissol ved; and that it be left to the parishes to originate and carry such measures as they may deem for their advantage touching tlie dissolu tioii or continuance of the said Corporation. J. BATHER, Esvj. observed that, after the ex- planation that had been given, he should not press ihe last clause of bis resolution. Mr, HAZLEDLNE ( To Mi-. Bather).— Sir, we had been awyre of the secession of the gentlemen t. whom you refer ; and on so much talent bein< withdrawn, we had taken measures for supplyinj the vacancy with such talent a-? we considered most likely to form an equivalent. J. BATIIER, Esq.— When I spctk io you, Mr. Hazledine, I am sure I should : uot; say there was y lack of talent.^ Mr. Bathed tilMh proceeded U) opose the following : re^ ojutidn as, a pail of his. ameudinent. •• ,.

BATHER, Esq.— Now 1 am glad that the term lly men. was used by you : if I had used. it, there ould have been some discussion as to its propriety. \ laugh). ' Rev. J. LANC. LEY. -— Gentlemen, before the amendment is proposed;, may I be allowed to say a words upon it. In'oflenug myself to youp ttention for a short time, I do not. intend to follow ' e mover of that amendment through ail the points f his address to you. As far as relates to myself,, s appointed upon the Committee, nothing said by Mr. Bather affects me in any way. It certainly is ot my wish to legislate for the United. Parishes, us insinuated. I neither desired, nor sought this • ppo'intmeut, but having beeh appointed; by the : trdrans' one'- of that Committee, it is hot my utention to shrink from tiie performance of my d'uty ; and, as the Minister of a populous parish, feel myself especially called upon to declare, that, ki my opinion, this House of Industry does more injury to the morals © four Poor than ten Ministers an counteract. ( Cheers.) It. must, it seems, be dmitted that several of the Committee appointed at tlie last meeting will'not act;. Is this- a reason why the remaining members should be stigmatized ?: f unfit,- why did you-: appoint them ? ajid if fi » , why should they be blamed for continuing attheir- post ? And then1 it is asked, why such and such lersons were not included in> the Committee, who, [ am pretty certain, would not. act if they had been appointed. With reference to . the meeting- of St. Alkmoud's parish yesterday,, the- pro. peodiiigs<: of which appear to be spoken of as very matewally, affecting the. question before us, I am informed by a Guardian of that parish now near me, that those proceedings were sanctioned by the . signature of only four or five individuals. It is admitted by the Gentleman who proposes thi:^ amendment, that we acted'wisely and fairly in. forming such a Committee as we did at. the oulset of this business; and surely t might have been supposed that the same wisdom and the same integrity would have enabled' us t. i fill up the vacancies which have taken place in i, ( Cheers'J, which we have power to do. Gentlemen, the amendment proposed is in effect a postponement of flie repeal . of the Act < » f Incorpoiaiion. Have we not aheady felt enough of the evils of postpon ment ? Had the union, been dissolved years ago much misery would, have been prevented. As to this overgrown establishment, I am afraid . if finds a man honest it w'iil. make him a rogue ( Cheeis.)^ li is a sink of poiUuion; and, as tin Curate of a large and populous parish, I say of it, as Was said i n reference to a.' g- reat and ancient city V' Down with it, down with it, even to the ground.'

And . ® ow as to the plan or dissolving- tbe Committee formed at the last meet ing', ; ind calling parish meetings to appoint another Committee, Suppose we put the question to the different parishes ; and suppose . V ish Meole or St. Mary, or any Other parish in vestr assembled, refuse to send to tlvis Cominittee a repn sentative of their rights ; are the suffering parishe to be wheedled out of this business, by such a cour; of proceeding,- r~ knowing, as we do, what can lie done, and how much oratory can be had ai such meetings. to quiet, the consciences of tjie wavering and to send people home satisfied to injure thei neighbours by uphold ng the present system ? The amendment propose! by Mr Bather- appears to irie - only a blinking- of ibe questieo ; and* it the present Committee: is, by adopting; this propositi on, to be .. dissolved, I am sure you vviii nevei;^ on this plan- form another.

As one of the Coinmittee, T deny that we wish to legislate or adjiidge for the United Parishes,; we acknowledge it illegal, so to do; but it will cease to be illegal if Parliament, . in. its wisdom, sho'uld appoint us a run in it tee, and empower us so to do : then we will adjudge ami decide to the best, of our ability. ( Cheers.) As a Guardian of the. United: Parishes, therefore," i am for tiie present . Committee, standing as it is, and for rejecting Mr. Bather's, amendment. ( Chee s ) Rev. EDWARD BATHER.— Gentlemen, I beg to say a. few words in reference to what has taken place, and in re fe re iice to, w hat niy brother has said with regard to the probability of my not acting on the Committee to which 1 have been appointed; I have not said ihat 1 will not act, nor that I will act ou that Committee, But certainly I do feel that I am not prepared to do any act for or against the dissolution ofthe United Parishes, because I consi- der that such Committee is not legally appointed ; and it will be recollected that, at the former meet- ing-, I stated that to be my Opinion as to their appointment. I did, indeed, receive a note from Mr. Williams requesting my attendance on the Committee; and I declined attending, because, though I considered that at ah Assembly of the Guardians they, as Guardians, were qualified to do certain acts, aud to give their sanction to such specific proceedings as the Act of Incorporation lays down for them, yet . I do not conceive that any Assembly of Guardians can give a legal sanction to the acts for which the present Committee is ap- pointed. I will repeat my opinion- to be, as would seem to be that of mv brother, that probably the parish of Meole would have been better off if it had never been incorporated, and niv interests as a landlord would perhaps have been more consulted than under the Act of Incorporation ; and in refer- ence to the proceedings of this day, I beg to state that I appear here as the representative of the tenantry residing in Meole parish, whose interests may be compromised by any measure that shall add to their parochial expenditure,— who are here to- day and gone to morrow, but who will have to pay the expenses of our legal squabbles, without perhaps ever reaping any benefit that may result from them. With respect to tbe appointment of a Quorum, I say we have no right to appoint one: the plain legal way is to call parish meetings thenror a bit of provision to put in tlveir mouths and I am sure the paupers would every one have* been glad to have gone out of the Hottsfejf we would have given them £ 5a piece per annum. ( A laugh.) It ts not likely that any loose estimate shown at St. Al^ uiond's vestry Was so far correct as to warrant their resolutions. J. BATHER, Esq .— The re ' certai ulv w'as no regular estimate produced. The fact was, a pencil and iper were taken, and the various items of probable expense were put down at an extremely low scale : the items being taken at the estimate of those most strenuous for a dissolution, w hoafte., wards admitted that it was full low. It was then thought, that as e had iii the present year, reduced our rate £ 25 per cent, aud as our payments to. the- House of ' nd ustry last year were red need to £ 500-, if would cost" us inore on a dissolritioii than to remain incor- porated ; besii^ s, it was observed, the law expenses must be paid, whether successful iu our object or not. On these grounds the re. solutionirwere'adopt- ed : there was no wheedling, no coaxing, no umbug; and 1 am bound in honour to say, that think* the 27 persons' who left the room without signing the resolutions would not have neglected ivinu them that sanction, if they had supposed lie omission would bate been, looked upon as a disapproval of the proceed in g- s. Mr. HAZLEDINR.— Mr. Bather,.! must think your statement is very loose and erroneous ; for I recol- lect when the establishment aloue of this House cost £( 3. fis. d^ d. per be id, tbe reason why sve did not theu seek a dissolution w as, because we had so much machinery in the Itouse • and, if 1 recollect right, of the manufactures then carried . on, the maniv factored article fetched^ when sold-, £ 10 per cent, less than the raw maierial cost us. J'. B^ THER^ Esq,. — I beg " to Say the calculations made at St. Alkmond'' s Vestry were not urine. A copy of the calculations was produced ; the Rev. J. LANGFiEY, on perusing it, observed, that, according- to these calculations j ihe poor of St. Alkmond's would cost per head more than £ 10 per annum after a dissolution of the Incorporation; and he thought such an amount was not likely to be correct. Mr. STEAD.— I must beg leave to make a few observations on what Mr. Bather has said. He has designated the last meeting as a mob.; but I was told by MT. Watton, that the Rev. Mr. Bather, on the day a, Iter the last meeting, said, he was very well pleased with the proceedings of that meeting, and was better treated than he deserved. [ A laugh,- and loud cries of " Question V interrupted the speaker. The Rev. E. RATHER said, " When Mr. Stead has finished his statement, I will reply to him."] The amendment proposed by J. Bather, Esq. was put and negatived by a very large majority.— The resolution proposed by Mr. Hazledine " was put and carried, there being only 8 or 10 hands held up against it. The Rev. E. BATHER.— If the meeting has a few moments to spare, I will just advert- to what has fallen from Mr. Stead. What f said to Mr. Watton was, that I was better treated at the last meeting than I expected, not than J deservedand I cer- tainly was; for, knowing my sentiments . were ad verse to those of the great majority there, I had expected some annoyance : but if I were to admit the truth of Mr. Stead's statement,, it would be saying, that I had deserved to hie iill - treared ; and I certainly never did say so, nor was 1 then nor have I since been of opinion that any person de- served to be ill- treated tor speaking liis; sentiments, I certainty was much interrupted^ but 1 did not. consider myself much annoyed at the last meeting , and perhaps there were persons present who thought I was talking against tiie clock (,- f laugh) They, however, said nothing themselves ; and I should have had less to say if I had met with less interruption. Rev. J. LANGLEY.— Gentlemen, since I came to this, meeting,; a resolution has been put. into my bands, accompanied by a- wish that S should pror pose it for your - adoption. Before 1 read tbe reso- lution, perhaps I may- be permitted to state, good authority, tha? every- pauper maintained in this estabiisbment ( iiiciudiiig the children, who form more, than one third of the whole,) costs ihe United, Parishes £ 44 per- head - per aim mo. T think, then, ive- cannot be m a worse situation ; I suppose we could even send them to a boarding school for a less Sum, f Laughter, ami cheers. J Gentlemen, the Committee of. Guardians, Quoi- iim of whom you have now empowered to- art, come not to ask fqr any exoriKtan. t powers,— not lo ask for a rate if the Act should not be obtained ; but, upright in their intentions, and relying on the. goodness of. « their cause, they ask you to give only what each individual is disposed to give: they reckon upou your voluntary support of the measures to he after taken by them for obtaining an Act to dissolve this establishment.—[ Mr. Langley then proposed ( he- resolution, which will be found in the Advert..] J. BATHER, TEsq.— Tne teuor of the Resolution, proposed relieves me from tiie necess'ty nfsnggest- iug an ameudnieht for the adoption of this meeting^ as the original motion is much tot. be effect of my intended amend me n't'. 1 must say, however, that, having conceded the point of the opinion of the Guardians being in favour of a dissolution, I do enter my protest against the asssertiou that this establishment is a sink of pollution Mr. HAZLEDINE. — You must be aware, Mr. Bather, that calling Mr. Langley 4< ihe curate was a mode of expression rather calculated to excite irritation and warmth of expression on his fiart.--[ The Rev. J. Langley appeared to- express lis dissent from this observation.] J. BATHER, Esq.— I only used tbe term " curate," in speaking of Mr. Langley, bv way of distinguish- ing him from the Vicar of St. Chad's, who uiav be considered to have a permanent interest iu the United Parishes. Mr. STEAD.— Mr. Bather, will you allow me to say a few words to you [ J. BATHI- R,. Esq. ex- pressed his assent; but the meeting became im- patient, and cries of Question !" u Question P* obliged Mr. Stead to desist from any further remarks.] The resolution proposed by Mr. LANGLEY was then carried by a very great majority ; as also were the other resolutions contained in the Advertise- ment; and the assembly dispersed.

In reference to w hat Mr. L aug- lev has said of this establishment transforming honest men into rogues, I must ac- knowledge my own opinion to be, that there is nothing good to be. acquired in a crowd; but the question is, shall, vve he better in this respect if the establishment is split into. five or six ? The persons who originated tlm House thought vve should not. If, as Mr. Langley remarked, Meole wil. S not. send a representative to the Committee, and I think they will not, it should be considered that they have no reason to do so until they fee! themselves aggrieved by the Act of Incorporation, which, at present., docs them no apparent injury. ( Cries of" No! No /" and laughter.) Considering the Commit- tee itself to be illegal, and that we should act foolishly in going on illegally to the appointment ofa Quorum, F beg to second the amendment proposed by my brother. J. BATHER, Esq.— 1 wish to correct an observa- tion which has fallen from Mr. Langley, who has stated that the proceedings at St. Aikmond's were sanctioned by only four oi- five persons. When I went to St. AJkmond's vestry, the majority of the meeting was evidently vi favour of a dissolution of the Incorporation : a pencil and paper were taken, and when it was shewn th. e. m, by. the simple process of addition and subtraction, that, iu all probability, their poor would cost them more after the dissolu- tion than at present, they changed their minds : the resolutions adopted were carried unanimously the majority certainly did then go away without plac- ing their signatures to the proceedings, but. that act was not necessary ; if it had, surely the 27 who went away would hardly have been such simpletons as to have been cheated out of their decision by so small a minority.

J The following: notices would never have be presented to the public, bad not the Caledonian Horticultural Sbciety adyer'usedy in their FVi. ze Questions, for aii " accothvt of ascertained' facta concerning the effects of impr- eg nation, in improv- ing- and diversifying the di'fiepent., species' of fruits, vegetables, ahd flowers., v . The; 4k Treatise On Fruit- tree's, by the ingenious Mr. Knight... having been put into my hands by a member of the Society, ] learned his mode of proceeding vyiih the blossoms of fruit- trees 3 but'having no trees in a fruiting state under my care, Tdirected my attention solely to flowers, and especially to the common pink Dianihus Cari/ ophtji. lus. On account of the very different tribe of plants on which my experihVeiits w'ere. tried, I could not very closely'foilo'w ' Kit, Kiii^ Ill's . plan's, nor were, the results entirely similar; but in the end they wert found to confrrh| the practicability of his schemes and the truth of his'doctrines. The properly double ( infers, 91' fores plenty, of' airy species of plant, have neither stainiha nor style, male nor teniaje organs ; the iyhole . being trahsfnrmerj int'o. petals. Suchflovyers are the pride of the florist, but of I'IO use to the experimental cultivator, who is desirous of varying his flowe bv crossing of breed's. , The perfectly doable or full varieties of the Stock gillinpwer ( Che/ ran: has mcanus and annuus av> long been supposed capable, of impregnating th single varieties1 of stocks, and have been ca re fully regularly, and formally selected fen that purpose by planting single stocks close'b. y the nr.. B: ut such plans are qujte nugatory. Any double- flowered stocks that spring. from, seed saved under, these cir- cumstances, miftst arise .. from . fhe pure unassisted sporting of nature in the sitigjeilowers, or, perhaps,' from their, being raised in rich soils, in sheltered places, and being carefully attended to. The inter- mediate state of fulness, when a stock becomes a Jitis mult, iplieatv* is n6t often to. be seen j yet. there 1 are instances of their approach, to a full state, by • their at. first, having a few petals more than the regular number, wliich is foirr. The case, however, is different with the flowers of some other genera; for example, those of the Dia 11thus, vvbich freqUenily Oeet'i r inuitiplicate or nearly full, hot still possess some of the organs necessary to reproduction. It would be unconnected with the present subject, to de. ail any thing re- specting the cultivation of the pink by laying and piping, as these modes only tend to increase the quantity,- and preserve the qualities of varieties already in existence. All that is meant on the. present occasion, is briefly to relate a few experi- ments that, have been made on the saving of seed from semi- double or almost full flowers of the com* mou garden pink. There are scarcely any varieties of nlu!( i6( icfafe.- flowered pinks, but what nil I produce seed, more or less, according to circumstance's, either as to situation, season, or impregnation. The female parts iu them appear generally to be perfect; the only want is male orgfii& s to impreg- na'te theni, and make the seed come io perfection. The form, of seeds will indeed be found iu- all their cajpsules,; bi'it although one or tiro re stamina , arc\ often ob-, served in the flowers, vet, from a,< fefret in general of their being shorter than in the single nowej's, and from th'e exuberance of petals in many of the yai ieties, they very raivly, cah approach tlie pistil; so that the se> ds resulting are defective, or inca- pable of germination. , This points out that we can never look with confidence to the iria'lK functions he'ing- performed in multipijcate- ilo. wersT as in them the , j$ a(< » orgajis are generally the ^ efectiv, e'parti. As females, , vve may expect theni to perform their part of tlie fructification.; but the pollen may often have to be applied by art, . ' . To remedy tjie defect of the njailes, I impregnated the female organs of a few varieties of multiplicate puvks, with the . Carina, of the best - single pinks I could procure. Tho- e so impregnated;, were the flowers of two- year ' old'" plants, froni fifpings, stand- ing iu a warm, south exposure. The success sur- passed my most sanguine expectation; 1 saved from those so impregnated aboiit ' 20!)' seeds. This experiment was made so long ago as the summer of 1811. The seeds were sown, in a frame only, in March, 1812. In that same year they shewed good promise of their fiitnre value,. ! i) 1813, they pro- duced thirty- five double varieties, many of them excellent, and few of them but what might be termed Floristsflowers. A number o. f good judges saw them in flower-, among whom were several members, of . the.! Society, both professional and amateur, who allowed them to be the best collection they had ever seed raised from seed at one, sowing, considering the small quantity of seed. Through want of leisurej and'having many other avocations, I omitted, in I8!* 2, to impregnate any flowers. This threw me behind ia the prosecution of my experiments. In 1813, I impregnated a considerable number of multiplicate- flowers of plants of the former yea " pipings. These I find to answer best; as, not having more than one spike of flowers, they are more vigorous and can be mofe accurately done. Those so impregnated were growing iu a northerly situation; yet they produced seed. Others so im- pregnated in an apparently more eligible situation, produced comparatively little. These last were two- year old plants, growing in a warm, south exposure, th6 same iii which those impregnated iii 1811, which succeeded well, bad been grown. It remains, therefore, yet to be determined, whether the situation or the age of the flowers may not have considerahle. effect in their not seeding so abundantly. I am at present inclined to think there, is a certain stride of.' the flowers more answer- able for the work of impregnation than any other ; for it! 1814, 1 went, over them at various times, of the day, and at different stages of the flowers,— a trouble for which I was fully compensated, by saving about 3. oz. of good wellri'ipened seed. Some of the flowers I repeatedly impregnated with " other genera it is necessary to divest the flower of its own stamina in an early stage of its growth ; hnt in the pink this is not necessary, as the'stamina tare naturally defective-. The mere contact of the • tnthvraj of the single pink, with the pistil of the niltipiicate, and the shedding some of the pollen pun it, is all that is required ; and ( i. great many plants amy he gone over in a very short time. It is a practice with most of the growers of pinks from seed, as it was also with myself, to throw out th> Single, flowers, as soon as they shewed them- selves But this is nil erroneous practice. It is not certainly necessary to keep all the single flowers that come from seed, as there is in most eases a much greater proportion of single than of double 0otters 1 but all single flowers of good lour and good leaf ong> lit to be preserved, as it is from them the qualities of the fufitie flowers will be determined, ns to colour and leaf. This fact was conspicuous in those grown from the impreg- nated seeds of INI!; few of them retaining any of the properties of flic females, except the dpuhieiiess ofli- ower.- Frotnmy experiments, I find, flint although some of the ni u'l t i plii- ii t e - fl owe is may liiiic a few male organs, and may impregnate themselves, yet this does uot tend to increase the varieties so much, as vshen they are impregnated by other sorts; tjor is there such a certainty of procuring fertile seed. In 1811, and again in I8I0 and 1814, the im- pregnated flowers were the Only ones that pro- duced perfect seed in abundance. As to the iunease of the. varieties, from the impregnated flowers, it was very evident; and, in general, as already remarked,' there was little difficulty iii tracing tlieir'characters buck to the male parent. I may add, that, in 1813, ny seedling piuks raised in the above mode, were found entitled to two medals as seedlings, and in 1814 to two niC'duls as established flowers, from different institutions for the encouragement of horticulture. The same system holds equally good in the genus Primula. Tn .1831, I impregnated 11 number of Polyanthus flowers, growitfg under glass, in a south exposure, and never shaded from the sun. The following results were obtained. Turner's Princess of Wales, impregnated with Nicholson's Tailtanrara, produced seedlings which had ( be cup aroiind the authera; aud the dark orange centre, for which the latter is conspicuous; while the colour of Ihe petal, and the lacings around it, retained an exact similarity lo those of the mother. Two other sorts so'impregnated were so conspicuously cliarac-^ terised, that although 110 account had been kept of their pedigree, there would have been 110 difficulty in tracing it. The quantity of seed saved in this way was very small. 1 raised only tweuty- eight plants. Out of these, no fewer than tweuty- two proved so excellent, its to be ranked as stage- flowers. 51 any of tliein, indeed, were of uncommon beaufv, " nil illey obtained the medal as the best seedlings in I8' 2' 2. There seems 110 doubt of the Auricula succeeding in the-' same way, to a much greater degree of per- fection, than when left to chance;; for it is pretty evident, that as long as tlieir ow n stamina remain with them, there is little probability of the pollen of any other soi l getting in Contact with tbe pistils. 4. S- SS OF THI, SHIP FAME. days, and, aware of the rapidity of the currents, ! feared we might fall tu the southward of the port. " A'* day- light we recognised the' Coast and Rat Island, which gave us great spirits, aud though we found on 1 selves much to the southward of the port,, we considered ourselves' almost at home. Sophia had gone through tlie night better than could have b^ en expected, and'vve continued to puli oh with all our strength. About eight or nine o'clock we saw a ship standing to us from the Itoads ; tliey had seen' the flame on shore, and sent out vessels" in all direc- tions to our relief, and here certainly came a Minister of Providence, in the character of a Minister of tile Gospel, for the first person I recognized was one of our Missionaries. They gave us a bucket of water, and we took the captain on board, as a pilot. The wind, however,- was adverse, and we could not . reach ' live shore* and took' to the ship, u hcr^ we got" some refreshment, and shelter from tlie suit. By this tiimv Sophia was quite exhausted, fainting continually. About two o'clock we landed safe and sound, and no words of mine can do justice to the expression of feeling, sympathy, and kindness, with which w'e were hailed hy every one. If any proof had. been' wanting that Iny ad'miuislration had been satisfac- tory, here we had it unequivocally from all ; there was uot a dry eye, and as we drove back to our former home, loO'd was the cry of 4 God be praised.' " But enough; and ! will only add, that we are now greatly recovered, in j^ oed spirits, arid busy a't - work ill getting ready- made clothes for present use?. We went to bed at three ih the afternoon',' arid I did not awake till six this morniogV Sophia had nearly as sound a sleep,' and With the exception of a bruise or two, and a little pain, in the buries from fatigue, we have nothing to Complain of. " The property which t have lost. On the most moderate estimate, cannot be less thari £ 20,000, I might almost say £ 30,000.— Bot the lovs which I have to regret beyond ali, is my papers and draw- ings ; all my papers^ of every description, incUiding my notes arid observations, with rivenioirs and collec- tions, sufficient for a full and ample history, riot only of S » n « atr » f but of Borneo, and every other Ishuid in these Seas ; riiy intended account of the Esta^ psb^ nienf of Sincapbre ; the history of iny own A, itiriii- nist ration ; rain ma rs, dictionaries, and vocahularfes; and last, not least, a giarid iiiap of Srimarra, on which, I had been employed since my first arrival here, an^ on' w hich, for ihe last six months, 1 had bestowed' almost my whole undivided attention ; this, however, was not all— all my col'lections in natural history^ and my splendid collection of drawings, upwards of a thousand in number,' with all the valuable papers and notes of niy friends A rridld a ( id Jack ; arid to; conc'lnde, I will merely notice,- drat there was scarce au unknow n animal, bird, beast, of fish, or an inter- esting plant, which we had uot on board. A llying tapir, a new species of tiger, splendid' pheasants, & c. &, c. all domesticated for the voyage. We were, in short, in this respect, a perfect Noah's Ark.. All, all has perished;' but, tliatik Go » l, onr fives have been spared, and we do not repine. Orir plan is to get another ship as soon as pos- sible, and I think you may still expect us in Jnly. There is a chance of a ship, called the Lady Flora, touching here on her way home, and fhere is a small ship in the Roads, which may he converted into a packet, arid take us home, as I have a Captain and crew at command." the pollen of the Maiden Fink'.( l) iauthns deltoides and others with that of Sweet William ( Diantbi barhatus), the last of which is richly furnished with pollen. If will uot he thought unreasonable to siipori^ ev tiiat. mules nuty be obtained iii this way. But it ni, ust be observed, the plants were imjire nated with' the farina from single pinks also. The process of artificial Impregnation, or, in: other words, assisting nature,. iniiy appear to some a work of great labour and iniuitteness. But it is, in tiie case of the pink, very simple. In most ' Fire following is an extract of a letter from Sir Thomas Stamfoi< l Raffles, late Governor of Ben- coOleii, coin. inu'. iicating the destruction by fire of the ship Fame, in which he bad embarked with his family and suite on bis return to Europe. A more.. providential escape is- scarcely to be found on record : » — VVe embarked off rhe 2< I February, in the Fame, and sailed, at day- light for England, with a fair wind and every prospect of a quick and comfortahfe " passage.- The ship was every thing we could wish, and having closed my charge here much to my satisfaction, it- was one of ihe happiest days of my life. We were, perhaps,.- fori happy, for in the even- ing came a sad reverse. Sophia had just gone to bed, and I had thrown off half my clothes, when' a crv of Fire, fire t roused us from our calm content, and in five minutes the whole ship was in fiimes'! I ran to examine whence the ( laities principally issued, and found that the fire had its origin imine- diately under our cabin. Down with the boats; where is Sophia ? Here ; the children ; here a rope to the > ide ; lower Lady llaffies— give her t, o me says one— I'll take her says the Captain. Throw the gunpowder overboard ; it cannot be got at ; it is in the magazine, close to the fire! Stand clear of the powder. Skuttle the water casks.— Water! water!! Where's Sir Stamford ? Come into the boat, Nelson! Nelson! come into the boat. Push oft'; posh off; stand dear ofthe after- part of the ship. '" All this passed much quicker than T can write it; we pushed off, and as we did so, the flames were issuing from Our cabins, and the whole of the after- part of ihe ship was in flames .; the masts and sails now taking fire, we moved lo a distance, sufficient to avoid the immediate explosion, but the flames were now coming out of the main hatchway, and seeing the rest of the crew, with the Captain, & c. still on board, we pulled back to her under the bows, so as to be most distant from tiie powder. As we ap- proached, we perceived that the people from board were getting into another boat on the opposite side; she pushed oft', we hailed her, have you all board ? Yes, all sa ve one. Who is he ? Johnson, sick iu his cot. Can vve save him ? No, impossibly ; the flanies were then issuing from the hatchway ; at this moment the poor fellow, scorched, 1 imagine, by the flu tries, roared out most lustily, having run up on the deck. 1 will go for him, sa\ s the Captain. The two boats then came together, and we took out some of the persons from the Captain's boat, which was overladen. He then pulled under the bowsprit of the ship, ami picked the poor fellow rip, Are you all safe? Yes, we've got the man - all lives safe, thank God; pulled off from the ship; keep your eye ou a star, Sir Stamford ; there's one barely visible, " We then hauled close fri each other, arid found the Captain fortunately had a compass, but we ha no light but from the ship. Our distance from Ben- . cooleu we estimated fo be from 20 to 30 miles in S. W. directiori ; there being no landing- place to tbe southward of Bencooleri, our only chance was to regain that port. The Criptaiii then undertook to lead, and We to follow in a N. N. E. course as we we could. No chance, no possibility being left that we , coaId again approach the ship, for she was now one splendid flarive fore and aft ami aloft, her masts and sails in a blaze, and rocking to andfro, threaten- ing to fall in an instant. There goes her mizen- maSt; prill away, ' my boys; there goes the gunpowder thank God! " You may judge of our situation without furtive particularsy the alarm was given at about 20 minutes past eight., aud in less Iliad 10 minutes she was in flames; there was not a soul on board at half- past eight, and iu less .- than 10 minutes afterwards she was one gralrd mass of fire. " My only apprehension was the Want of boats to hold the people, as there was. riot time to have got out a long boat,, or make a raft, all we had to rel; opoii were two small boats, whieh. fortunately wei'i lowered without accident, and in these i. wo small open boats, without a drop of writer or grain of food dr a rag of covering except what we happened at the motrient to have on our hacks, we embarked on the wide ocean, thankful to God for his mercies Poor Sophia, having been taken out of her bed, had nothing on bot a wrapper, neither shoes nor stock- ings ; the children were just taken out of bed, wiieuce one had been snatched after the flames had attacked it. In short, there was uot time for any one to think of m > re than two things— Can the ship be saved: No; let us save orirselves then : all else was swal- lowed up iu oue great ruin. u To make the best of onr misfortune, we availed ourselves of ihe light from the ship to steer a toler- ably good course towards the shore ; she continued lo burn till about midnight, when, the saltpetre, of which she had 250 tons on board, took fire, and sent up one of the most splendid and brilliant flames that was ever seen illluminating the horizon iii every direction, to an extent of no less than 50 miles, arid casting that kind of blue light over us, which is, of all others,, most luridly horrible. She burnt and continued to flariie iu this style for about an hour or two,' w hen we lost sight of the object in a cloud of smoke. " Neither Nelson, nor Mr. Bell, our medical friend who had accompanied us, had saved their coats ; the tail of mine, wilh a pocket handkerchief, served to keep Sophia's feet warm ; and we made breeches for the children with our neckcloths, Rain now came on, but fortunately it was not of long continuance, and we got dry again— the night became serene and starlight. We were now certain of our course, and the men behaved manfully— they rowed incessantly, arid with good heart and spirit, and never did poor iriorfats look out more for daylight and for land than we did. Not that our sufferings or grounds of com- plaint were any thing to what has often befallen others, but from Sophia's delicate health, as well as my own, and the stormy nature of our Coast, I felt perfectly convinced we were unable to undergo' starvation, and exposure to the sun and weather many riate.

LAVI'N6 THE FIRST STONE OF ALDFORD BRIDOE OVBK TIIE DEE.— Earl Grosvnior arrived at Eaton on Saturday evening,, the 24th ultimo; Monday, the - 76111, was therefore fixed for the ceremony of laving the first Stone of tbe . New Bridge oyer the' Dee.— Tbe situation of the Bridge is exceedingly romantic, just above Aldford Weir, and close to the Old Ford over the Dee, connecting the line of the ancieut Watling- stieet between Chester and Shrewsbury. In this part the water narrows, and then diverges in those wizard nfean- derings which so conspicuously mark the course of this lovely River. The Bridge will connect the Park of Eaton with the East Bank of tbe Dee, and prove very convenient io the neighbourhood, if his Lordship should grant permission for the thorough- fare beirtg thrown open to the Public.— A little befdre 12 o'clock, Earl Grosvenor arrived at the site of the Bridge, accompanied by. tlie Rev. Mr. Mytton, the Rev. M, f. Edwards, Mr. lluzledine and Mr. Straphen, of Shrewsbury ( the Contractor and Builder),, Mr. Giimuiow, the resident Architect of Eaton, Mr. Forest, Principal Gardener and uiperiiiteiident of the grounds, with a number of respectable inhabitants from the neighbourhood, alio many ladies. attracted by the novelty of the seciie. Every- tbing being prepared; the Noble Earl descended to the rocky site of the foundation, a depth of , about feet, and forming a square of nearly 31) feet. The Stone was then lowered to its situation, and his Lordship went through the usual ceremony by striking it with a Mallet, & c. amidst the loud and repeated cheers of tllose assembled. interested for flieir happiness ant! welfare, as of Ihe tirra incognita find its inhabitants,— Kilkenny Paper.

" Thev were fKere, and rfiuM Ktfri b'eeii taken awav," said tlie bus- band, and yet tbe good dame was clear no one could have been al the cupboard, as die had not once left the room during the absence of her spouse. The worthy pair were puzzled : suspicion at length fell upon a mouse, who, by divers inroads upon certain eatables, had left evidence of previous visitation; and the better to detect the marauder, a piece of paper of ihe size of a note was deposited in Ihe bowl from which the notes had been stolen; the door was closed, and after due time had elapsed an examination look place, when the paper was also missing. Search was then made, and, ncally worked up in a monse's nest, were discovered the two notes, one in a tolerably perfect state, and Ihe other much mutilated, hut not So much So but that the number, dale, and signature could be recognized.- Cambridge Paper.

YOUNG V. WHITE. Mr. Scarlett stan d that Ibis action was brought to recover £ 431.6s. 3d. paid as purchase money., and auction duty, to the defendant, an auctioneer. A person named John Franks, late of Dorking, Surrey, left by will a freehold- estate lo his sou. The son aud Testator both died, and the Trustees put up the properly to sale. The plaintiff being desirous of bidding, attended the auction at Dorking, aud be- came a purchaser. lie paid the defendant £ 431. It then appeared thai a difficulty occurred in getting a conveyance. Two of the Trustees had died, and the third was a lunatic. Mr. Young consulted a con- veyancer, and on looking at ihe will, Ihev found the property by tbe bequest was for the benefit of children alive at the death of the Testator? Three were living, and it was stated lhat they itfigKt join iu making a conveyance, but a new difficult^' arose. A fourth child was born two days alter the giuudfuther was buried and about a week after his deaih. This child was held lo be alive at llie death of Ihe Testa- tor, and according lo a well known decision in tlie House of Lords, us well, as the Statute of William, iu favour of posthumous children, was considered entitled to share the estate. This itiftini could not execute a conveyance, aud the plaintiff conld get no title to the property. Under these circumstances he sought to recover buck his deposit. The bill of sale and defendant's receipt for the money were put in and proved. The Solicitor tu the Trustees under the will of Mr John Franks proved the order for sa!( c, Ihe death of two of the Trustees, and lunacy of the third. ihodation for thirteen thousand six hundred and twenty- four persons in pews, and for twenty- three thousand aud twenty- six poor persons in free seats, making a total provision for thirty- six thousand six hundred and fifty persons ; but as the assumed scale is greater than is actually required fur each person, tlie accommodation will, in fact, extend to a much greater number; and it is particularly gratifying to His Majesty's Commissioners to be enabled to add, tbat frotn the information which they have received from the places where the new Churches and Chapels hare been erected, the sittings in pews are mostly engaged, and that the free seats iu general are fully occupied."— Forty- four Churches and Chapels are now building ; of eighteen tbat are to be built, the plans are under consideration ; and of ten the plans have not yet been received.— Certain sums of money have also been advanced for the purpose of purchasing new and additional Burial Grounds. Another Special Court of Proprietors was held on Friday at tbe India House on ihe conduct of the local Government in India towards the press, Mr. Hume moved a series of resolutions, declar- ing the opinion of the'Proprietors in favour of the freedom of the press, ami calling for copies of the regulations made in India, and of the correspond- ence with the Directors and the Board of Conlroul oil the Subject. All his motions weiv, however, negatived ; and a resolution approving the conduct of the Governor of India, in causing Mr. Bucking- bain to be sent back again to his own country as a dangerous subject, who had repeatedly transgressed' in spite of reiterated warnings, was proposed by Mr. R. Jackson, and carried by a large majority. Mr. Buckingham was present, and entered into a long justification of his own conduct. In the fresh code of instructions issued from the Admiralty for establishing an amended system of food and allowances to the warrant officers, seamen, aud marines of the Fleet, oue very prominent tide is the diminution of the quantity of spirits hitherto distributed to the seamen ; and the sub stitntion of other comforts, such as beer, tea, coffee, floor, and ail increase of 2s. per month in tbe pay. It is, we believe, beyond a doubt, that the health of the British seaman was gradually un dermined by the constant use of half a pint of spirits per diem, his mind frequently inflamed to turbu- lence, and the duties of the service impeded. It is to be hoped tbat the ineti will receive the improved arrangement in the same temper in which it " been framed for their benefit. YVm. ThurlOw, Esq. has been committed to Newgale for trial, charged with stealing a gold watch, chain, & c. the properly of Madame St. Arge, a French lady, living in Frith- street, Soho. ' I'he prisoner who bad visited the lady twice, on the last occasion took the watch, and pledged it for £ 6. The watch is recovered. An Irishman, named Collins, died lately Halifax, and left £ 120,000 to a cousin of his, named John Cummins, who is a tutor ill Ihe County of Cork.— Irish Observer work is, we understand, about £ 8000, and finished it will form a striking feature among the many beauties, natural aud aitificial, which adorn th, e magnificent demesne of Eaton.— Earl Grosvenor must have no ordinary gratification in witnessing the improvements at Eaton ;— the Hotise— the Gar. deus— the Pleasure Grounds—- ALL is a work of his own ! With a liberality, worthy of the Princely fortune which he enjoys, his Lordshiji litis employed thousands of artisans, and expended hundreds of thousands of pounds, iu the embellishment of tbe seat of his ancestors, or rather, in the erection of a splendid Palace founded on the site of tile did house,— thus diffusing around the neighbourhood the blessings of constant employ to hundreds of poor labourers, and enriching tliti city of Chester by the employment of her tradesmen. Long may the Noble Earl live to complete and enjoy the works he has begun, aiid to show an example to bis posterity worthy of tile British Peerage, and the motto of his ancestors,— Nobilitatis Virtus non slemrna character.— The arch of the New Bridge will be of cast iron, 150 feet in tbe span,. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.— The Chester Chronicle of Friday last says—" Thanks to our apathy aud disgraceful inactivity, wc are now about to lose the passage of the great North Mail through this City to Holyhead. Packets of a large size and great power arc actually in course of building for the conveyance of the North Mail, as well as the London letters to DUBLIN, BY WAY OF LIVER- POOL. The Dublin Moriiing Post says, ' Two miiils will he daily dispatched for England, the one via Liverpool, and the other by the route of Holy- head A similar dispatch will soon take place from England; by this mode the Holyhead packet will sail from the Head at three in the morning, in place of being obliged to wait until half past six for the Chester mail. The British correspondence for the North of Ireland will he dispatched the moment the mail arrives direct" from Howth ; thus insuring the delivery of Ihe London letters in Belfast in forty- six hours from the time of their dispatch from London.'— In this predicament are we at last, and ill a short time we may expect to have our inter- course even with the Metropolis limited to our own solitary mail. But this is not all: there appears to be a sort of stupor operating upon the mental functions of those who ouglit to attend to the interests of tile City. Numerous are the com- plaints we have heard made of the stale of the road through Wales to the Head, and especially in the neighbourhood of Penmaen Mawr and Sychnant; and yet no endeavors are made to repair it. Is not this disgraceful? Thousands of pounds may be squandered in our political feuds, which have only one object in view, aud that the ruin of the City,— but where a palpable and obvious good is to be gained, riot a purse is opened— scarcely an indi- vidual exertion is made, lo secure it,— We. repeat it, such indifference is disgraceful to the City, and those interested in its welfare." Mr. Phillips, saddler, of New Street, Worcester, died on Friday se'nnigbt, in conscquence of faking oxalic acid in a mistake for Epsom Salts. CRUELTY AND IGNORANCE.—( From a Cor- respondent)— The following instance of cruelly and ignorance, which almost exceeds belief, ac- tually occurred only 15 miles from this city a few days since :— A coach. horse in performing his stage out of this city trod npon a nail, which entered his foot; on arriving at the end of the stage, the ostler drew out the nail, made it red hot, and thrust it again into ihe wound ! Bad as this act of torture must have been, tbe ignorant wretch, I am son y to state, afterwards added to il by dressing Ihe wound with oil of vitriol 1 tbe poor animal lingered in extreme agony until tbe fourth day, when death relieved it from ils sufferings. am informed similar treatment has often been resorted to for the purpose of curing such injuries. — Hath Journal. To STAIN THE HAIR.— A solution of muriate of gold diluted with water, stains the hair of a brown or auburn colour, and this colour is as permanent as the hair. HYDROPHOBIA.— We regret that Ihe proposal for introducing the stomach- syringe, in cases of hydrophobia, into the stomach, for the purpose of trying tbe effect of water thus conveyed to the system, has not yet been tried. Patients in this melancholy disease die for want of . water, at least their death is accelerated by il, and surely the introduction of water by the syringe affotds reasonable grounds for hope,— Medical Adviser. then made slrailge grimaces, and mattered to her- self; and after carrying on the farce till Ihe lady's expectation was ou llie rack, awfully asked | ier if she had not some concealed gold in Ihe house. Tbe lady was thunderstruck ; and with lieiiior in her voice, and fear strongly depicted in her coun- tenance, she confessed she had got a little hoard of her own, secreted even from her caro sposo. The Gipsy said she knew ii, aud requested a piece of gold to be brought from ils hiding place ; a guinea win produced, which ( all the while " muttering incanta- liolis . dire,") she said she must take with her ; but thai ih a week she would return with it, when ihe lady's fate should be propounded. Tire Gipsy now took her leave, ami so awe- stricken wej- e her audi- tors, thlil it was not till some time after her departure thai tliey began to contemplate the chances of ihe guinea's return. Tbe guinea, however, did chance to return, and a bad chance for the lady it turned out to he; for at the appointed day the Gipsy brought i: back, and after being closetled with the lady, told her lhat she ( the Gipsy) must return ihe guitiea, which she produced, lo ihe place whence it had been taken. The poor credulous lady, all her misgivings removed al ihe sight of the shining face of her old friend, went up stairs, and returned w ith a bag, containing 101 guineas, and some old gold coins, which she delivered to the Gipsy, who, unty- ing il, deposited the guinea anioug ils fellows. She ilieu took the bag, and repealing a great deal of gibberish, accompanied by corresponding actions, she shook Ihe money violently; and, after going through a variety of evolutions, deposited in ihe bag, willi much importance, a paper, upon which, she informed the ladv, her future destiny was wrii- tcn. Having tied it up, she carefully returned it to the lady, with an injunction that she'shouid replace it in its former situation, and that site should not, on any account, open it utiiil that day fortnight, when, wonderful as it appeared, it would discover that lo her which would fill her mind willi aslouisl ill ; and promising to return at the opening of the bag, aud that slie would not ask for aiiy reward if her assertions were not realized, she retired, not, how- ever, till the lady had insisted ou her taking half a. crown, so satisfied was she Willi the Gipsy's faith. Now the poor lady's expectation aud curiosity hud been wound up lo the most tantalizing degree of impatience, and after, with great difficulty, keeping the injunction for a week, il was not in the nature of woman to forbear longer. The injunciion was broken, the bag was opened, aud the lady's tortune, or rather misfortune", became apparent.' The arch deceiver had vanished with the gold ; but who can paiiit the lady's surprise and consternation at finding Ihe bag, the repository of her treasure, filled with halfpence I We vouch for llie veracity of the above story, however incredible it may appear, and con- ceal the names of Ihe parties, but consider it a duty lo relate the facts, as a caution to ihuse who, by- weakly believing in the prediction of future events, lav themselves open to tiie'arts of the designing.— Southampton Herald. CABBAGE, THE PRIZE FIGHTER— On Thurs- day evening last, Stephen Slrohsr, better known by Ibe name of Cabbage, after having passed nearly tbe whole of the day drinking, proceeded to tbe bridge in St. Philip's Marsh, and precipitated him- self into tbe water. A young niao who had spent Ihe day with hiin gave the alarm ; hut some time elapsed before the body could be found, and when discovered the vital spark had fled. The body was conveyed to the Full Moon public- house, in Avon- street, where au Inquest was held on Saturday, and a verdict of " Lunacy" was returned. We slated last week, tbat at our Sessions, a true bill had been found against two persons, fur having bribed Cab- bage lo lose his battle with one Bayley, sonic time ago ; and it is reported that the evidence of this fact having been given by Cabbage himself, the circumstance preyed upon his mind, and induced him to put a period to his existence.— Bristol Mercury.
