THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZUB. A; OR, PHOENIX OF LIFE, And Grand Reanimator of Nature: Prepared and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, at Dr. LAMERT's London Medical Establishment, Queen* square,- Bristol. INTRODUCTION. kR. LAMEKT, in recommending the celebrated Cordial Balin of Zura ; or, Phoenix of Life, to a discriminating: Public, disdains the Idea of following" the Steps of those Precursors, who, by a vain Display of a little Learning, and a great deal of Ingenuity, mislead the Public; a Truth too frequently exemplified by Pretenders to Science iu the present Dav. Actuated by a spirit <> f genuine Philanthropy, he feels it his highest Gratification to announce, that in the Balm of Zura, or Phceuix of Life, he possesses the means of alleviating, and by due Perseverance, of completely annihilating those insidious Disorders, which not only deprive Life of its every Enjoyment, but sap the very Foundation of our Existence, and involve ihe Patient in a Vortex of premature, hut unavoidable Destruction. Governed solely by such Motives, so humane, genuine, and disinterested, Dr. L. canuot but ensure the Gratitude of the aiilicted, the Approbation of the good, and the sincere Benediction of Mankind. On that Assurance be takes his stand, and invites the Suffering to come and be healed. ITS VIRTUES. " Like one condemned to leap a precipice, " And sees before his eyes the depths below, " Stops short, and looks about for one kind shrub « To Weak, his dreadful fall; so I look here ^ For friendly aid against the fears of death." The COUDIAL BALM OF ZURA, or Pbcenix of Life, forms the most powerful, stimulating, and highly flavoured Medicine in the whole Materia Medica. It is prepared from an Asiatic Berry, strongly resemb- ling ' hat of the English Whitethorn ; and was the * tesult of the Labours of the renowned Rembert Dodoeus, Physician lo the Turkish Emperor and his Harem. In 1578, a most splendid Case of this in- valuable Cordial was sent by the Sultan to Queen Elizabeth, and was taken by her Majesty as a noble Renovator of the whole System. It has been found bv a nSost extensive and respectable private Practice, to bp the nnVst efficacious Medicine extant, for strengthening ' tbe- JfeVvefe, removing all Obstructions 111 the Stomach and Lungs, cherishing the Heart, reviving the Spirits, strengthening the Memory promoting Digestion, dispelling Flatulencies, dis. jiersiiig the Heartburn and Choleric Affections, pre vents Apoplexy, purifies the Blood, removed Scorbutic Eruptions as < v II as Scrofula, And is of the highest Distinction in Gouty and Rheumatic Disorders. It vivifies the Spinal Marrow, and restores the Frame to Health and pristine Vigour. NERVOUS DISORDERS. In the tremendous catalogue of Diseases uiieidental to Mankind, those of the Nervous Description., are the nbost complicate ami difficult to cure. They resemble almost every Disease, and scarcely two Persons are affected in a similar Manner; they are • continually changing their Action, Shape, and Con dition, while, under every fresh Attack, the Patient feels some Symptoms he never before experienced. Thus the Mind often becomes a Prey > to the most fatal Apprehensions, while the diseased Imagination forges those wild Chimeras, which perpetually haunt nnd distress the Brain. 44 The Sun as it Were goes down on the Heart, and the Shadows of the Evening close tn on the Soui !" Such are the sad Thoughts *\ nd distressing Feelings which agitate that real Oitject of Commiseration, a Nerr/ oas Patient. To such, what a Treasure will he found in the Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phoenix of Life ! The vital Prin- ciple, under its divine Operation, like the fabled Plimnix, spi ing- s from the Embers of a decayed Con- stitution, and rises to Happiness and Lif>, Reani- mated, R'etiovnfetl, and El/ terea/ ised. GENERAL SYMPTOMS. The Symptoms which precede, accompany, and follow this distressing Complaint are very numerous. The following are the most prominent:—(/ rent De- pression of Spirits, Timidity; Starlings, Melancholy, Fickleness of Temper, Restlessness, Anxiety, and a painful Presentiment of Death. With its Increase, frequent Attacks of the Cramp, Head Ache, settled Pains in different Parts of ihe Bodyf ihe Eyes are clouded, a continual Ringing in the Ea. rs, Dullness of Hearing, alternate Chills and Flushes of Heat, Weariness, Nausea, Loss of the Appetite, Decay of Strength, Burning Heat in the Palms of the Hands nnd Soles of the Feet, a Sensation like that of cold Water running down the Back, the False quicks weak, and . irregular, parched Tongue, violent Pal- pitations of the Heart, Difficulty of Brealhing, and Convulsion* It is not difficult to point out the Means of relieving the Patient, hut ft'one have ever proved so powerful, so efficacious, as the Cordial Balm of Z « ra ; or, Phajoix of Life : as a Restorer of Strength to internal Decay, it stands unequalled, and may be relied on iu producing immediate. Relief iu every Stage of Nervous Complaints. The immense Numbers re- stored to the full Blessings of Health within the last eighteen Months, from the very Confines of the Grave; will best vouch for its surprising- Qualities, and a single Trial Urge more in its Behalf, than all the Powers of Rhetoric combined ! FEMALK COMPLAINTS. The nutritive and cleansing Powers of the Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, are peculiarly adaptep to the Delicacy of the Female Habit and Constitution, under those necessary Operations, designed by the Great Creator, for the Preservation of Health, the Continuation of ihe Human Species, and the Felicity of Domestic Existence. It. removes those Obstruc- tions, which too often nip in the Bud the Promise of the future Blossom. It promotes the Secretions, and preserves the Course of Nature from Impediment; comforts, exhilarates, and supports in those import- ant and peculiar Periods, Puberty, Maturity, and the Change of Life : for the want of which, . many of those lovely, interesting, and valuable Ornaments of Creation sink into au untimely Grave. The most sovereign Remedy yet found, is in the exalted and inestimable Virtues of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phccnix of Life.; the greatest Restorative of ex- hausted Nature; by a due Perseverance in which, the whole Muscular Fibres become invigorated, all thp Solids which were relaxed^ are braced, every Office of Nature is properly performed. Seize then the Opportunity which offers, for the Cordial Balm of Znra, or Phttuix of Life, possesses Powers which almost exceed Credibility, in restoring languid Na- ture, and invigorating the whole Constitution. COLD BATHING. Nothing is more conducive to Health than the frequent'Use of the Cold Bath, when not taken to Excess; a single Immersion will answer every Pur- pose ; for remaining ton long in Ihe Water is very injurious. Judiciously pursued, it braces the Fibres, and iu every Period of Life gives Tone and Vigour to the Body, it enables the vital Organs to perform their Funcjious, it hardens the Frame against Cold, Damp, antl changeable Weather, and restrains ex- cessive Perspirations, Sea Water, for stimulating, cleansing, and bracing the Nerves, is far preferable to River Water for any Debility. To prevent any tl! Sensation after Bathing, such as Trembling, Pain in the Stomach, Cramp, Giddiness, or Head- Ache, take a Table- spoonful of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phccnix of Life, Half an Hour before Bathing, which will comfort the Intestines, throw a warm Glow over the whole Frame, and create an excellent Appetite with a good Digestion. The CORDIAL BALM or ZURA is prepared only by the sole Proprietor, Dr. LAMERT, and Sold, Whole- sale and Retail, at his House, No. 54, Queen- square, Bristol ; also by W. & J. EDDOWBS, Shrewsbury ; and by the principal Medicine Venders in this and the surrounding Counties. In Bottles at 4s.( 3d.; lis.: and £ 1: one Us.

LON DON— SATURDAY. POSTSCRIPT. Los DOS, Monday fcfehl, Aov. 8S 1824. The expresses' from Paris to day, have brought the usual supply of letters and papers of Thursday, which communicate the rather unexpected news of a decline of nearly 1 per cent, in the rentes; this is attributed almost exclusively to the question some time in agitation as to the expediency of withdrawing the French aimy from Spain, The private letters state that no change will take place until January or February at earliest. German papers bring accounts of another naval engagement between the Greeks and the. Turks. If these latter advices be true, the naval armaments from Constantinople aud Egypt must be now entirely deprived of the power of doing mischief to the Greeks. We have received letters and papers from Quebec, to the 28th of September; The new Bank estab lished in Canada appears to have given great facili- ties to trade. The high duties imposed on English goods in the United States, excite the greatest in- terest iu the North American settlements. The commercial affairs of Canada are in consequence in the most flourishing state. The new tim{ er- ship on the stocks, and which is of much larger dimen- sions than the Columbus, is represented to be in a very forward state, and will be ready for launching early in the year. We are sorry to observe there are some desperate bands of robbers in Upper Canada ; at Montreal the church property of St. Martin has been taken clearly off. The premises of a Mr. Brunei have been robbed of 15,000 francs in specie, and himself and five or six others put iu imminent peril of their lives. The goods stolen aie j represented to be to a very serious amount. The most active measures are resorted to at Montreal and Quebec to discover the depredators. Four persons were in custody on suspicion of the robbery. General Turner, together with his family and staff, will, it is understood, embark in the course of ten days or a fortnight, on board the Posthumous, a private vessel, which has been hired for the pur pose of conveying him to Sierra Leone, and Cape Coast Castle. The troops which have embarked for Africa will proceed, in the first place, to Sierra Leone, and will subsequently sail from that settle- ment, under the command of General Turner, for Cape Coast. The olive branch, it is understood, w ill then be held out to the Ashantees, who will, at the same time, be apprised of the intention of the Major General to land and fight, should the pacific offer not at once be accepted. When all arrange- ments are finally settled, the Governor will return to Sierra Leone, with part of the Royal African I Corps,, which will relieve the 2d West India Regi- J incut, ordered to the Bahamas and Honduras. General T. carries out a rich palanquin, canopy, & c. with other pieseuts, for the King of Ashantee, in the event of his being friendly. The banking firm of Chambers and Son, in Bond- street, suspended payment on Wednesday. Various rumours as to the cause are of course freely circulated. By some, the Opera speculation, and sudden alarm of many of the oldest customers, which the recent bankruptcy of Messrs. Marsh and Co. has created, are said to have produced a most determined run upon the house, for which im- mediate means could not be obtained. It is how- ever stated, that all the claimants will be eventually satisfied.— Mr. Chambers is the sole proprietor of the Opera House, and the failure will, it is sup- posed, bring to a crisis the involved affairs of that establishment. The whole property, which has been in Chancery so many years, will now, proba- bly, be brought to the hammer. A letter, dated Penzance, Nov. 2, says—" This afternoon, about five o'clock, Lieut. Goldsmith, It. N. succeeded in replacing the Logan Or Rocking Stone in its ancient position, from which he had wantonly thrust it. He began to move the rock last Thursday, and continued his efforts daily ( ex cept on Sunday) until this evening. Thousands of persons assembled to see the attempt to rcplace the rock, and every vehicle in the neighbourhood has been from Thursday to this day in a state of re quisition. The stone now moves or rocks as before, with the application of the usual force. It is but jubtice to Lieut. Goldsmith to say, that he evinced the greatest care and intrepidity iu this difficult and dangerous undertaking," The following description of the conduct of the Atheist SHELLY, whose, literary labours were devoted to the subversion of all right feeling, and the inculcation of principles equally abominable and blasphemous with his own, is striking indeed It is extracted from a work, just published, titled " A Narrative of Lord Byron's Voyage to Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia, in the year 1821 compiled from minutes made during the voyage by the passengers, and extracts from the journal of his Lordship's yacht, Mazeppa, kept by Captain Benson, Commander," Let the fools who say then is no God— let the miserable idiots who exalt him. who wrote himself an ATHEIST and gloried his infamy, read the following, and learn to ap predate the valour and wisdom of the Satanic School, of which this unhappy wretch was one of the most distinguished members, by his conduct and the state of his mind during a squall at sea : " Percy Shelly, who heretofore made no secret of his infidelity, and whose spirits we thought no danger could ever appal, appeared to hare lost all energy, and the horrors of approaching death made him weep like a child. Those names which he never before pronounced, but in rid> cute, he now called vpon in moving accents of SERIOUS PRAYER, and implored the protection of THAT BEING WHOSE EXISTENCE HE AF FECTED TO DISBELIEVE." The ale- brewers in London on Tuesday morning sent circular letters to their customers, stating that, from the high price of malt and hops, the are under the. painful necessity of raising the price of ale 10s. per barrel. A Southampton paper, iu reference to one of the new candidates for the representation of that town, asserts, with great apparent simplicity, that he is already a blessing to the place, THAMES TUNNEL.— The houses which now cover the intended sife of the shaft, near Rother- hithe Church, are taking down, and the ground is clearing, preparatory to the excavation, which is to be commenced from the Surrey side of the River. The Lord Chancellor in hearing arguments in his Court, on Thursday last, in the case of Latham, a Bankrupt, a case which presents many striking points of similarity to that of the house in Berners- Ktreet, made the following explicit and manly de- claration: " If a case is made out before me, in which it appears that one partner in a firm com- mits frauds to a large extent, by which the other partners are benefitted, and with which they ought lo be acquainted, shall 1 be called upon to allow the certificate of such persons, even though all their creditors should have signed?—/ say, / never wilt."

Cooper, Brothers, aud Co. at Slaverton, m ar Bradford, Wilts, was discovered to be ou tire by some of the men at work on the low est floor at the fulling mills. They first saw the flanies issue through the floor above their heads, so that the fne had already committed great destruction to the various machinery and valuable property in the up per rooms, and, by the time of the arrival of the fiie- eugines, which was effected with the utmost dex- terity, the raging element had attained so much power, that every effort to subdue it proved un- availing. The factory was the largest in that part of the county, and the fire, about a quarter- past nine o'clock, presented one of the grandest and most awful spectacles that can lie imagined. \ It was only a few hours before the whole of this truly noble building was rdzed to the ground, and \ ts valuable apparatus and stock of cloth ledueed with it to a heap of ruins. It was with great difficulty the fire- men were enabled to save the dwelling-. house of M-, Cooper, which stands contiguous to the factoi y, from destruction ; the furniture was unavoidably much damaged in being removed. What adds to this dreadful calamity is, the circumstance of Messrs. Cooper and Co. having, only a short time previous, made improvements and additions to the premises at a great expense. The destruction of this factory has deprived of employment upwards of one thousand poor inhabitants of Bradford and its neighbourhood, who are now destitute, of the means of obtaining a livelihood, During the bustle and confusion occa- sioned by the fire, some miscreants were base enough to plunder the dwelling- house of its furniture as fast as it was rescued from the flames ; hut, we are happy te learn, one of the wretches was detected with the g- oods in his possession, and is now in custody. The damage occasioned by the fire is estimated at about £ 100,0( K), and it is reported that the insurances cover only £ 50,000. Three hunderd ends of cloth were burned. RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY.— The following is an extract of a letter received from Carrick- on- Shaunon, dated the 2d of November r—^ The An- niversary Meeting- of the Carrick- ou. Shannon Bible Society was held yesterday, the Rev. Mr. Percy in the chair. As opposition to this society is now the order of the day, this meeting- could not hope to escape ; on the first motion being- put from the hair, the Roman Catholic clerg- yman of the parish, stood up to oppose it; this occasioned a great proar and cries of chair, chair ; silence having- eeu at length obtained, the chairman in a mild, but firm manner, stated that he would not permit any person to address the meeting-, who was not a netuber of the society — but proposed to the oppo- ents, to meet on any day they should appoint to ... gue quietly and dispassionately on the subject. After some further conversation it was ag- reed to meet on this day week under the following- ar- ang- ements— 4 Three clergymen of each persuasion to choose a chairman ; the reporters to be sworn, I and each side to have liberty to admit fifty persons by tickets : any person who speaks or interrupts the meeting- to be immediately put out.' After this j rrangemeut the business of the day proceeded quietly .^- Morning Paper. The Rev. Joseph Amphletf, M. A.

Sin, I have many reasons for spending but little of my lime in reading Newspapers, and consequently seldom enter into any political controversy j yet I generally afford half an hour for the perusal of some part, of your's, in which I yesterday read a statement of a most violent outrage committed at Galway on that most venerable and exemplary Prelate, His Grace the Archbishop of Tuam, by a mob, many of whom he had saved from actual starvation, and who were instigated to their violent behaviour by their Priests, for the prevention of the dissemination of the Bible!!! Tremble, O Infant Protestants'.— but you will not, for you are ignorant of the horrors your Fathers are preparing for you. But, tremble, ye Fathers also, for be assured that if you exist your natural period of life, the consequence of your own apathy will be bu ried upon your heads ! Let me beg and intreat those who yet retain their natural freedom, and are not enslaved by bigotry, or by ( what is still more general) the slavery produced by the idea that opposition lethargy. Ag: Parliament, the unceasing'exertions of the Catholics have laid such a plan for the return of Members, Friends to Catholic Emancipation, that unless the warning voice shall be sounded through the king- dom earnestly and quickly, it will soon be all over with Religious Liberty. Some advocates for Ca- tholic Emancipation will say, How can we talk of Liberty when we do not allow it them ? and gene- rally with effect on their hearers, who do not con- sider that the Catholics have now ( and God forbid I I should wish to deprive them of it) the most per- I feet religious toleration. But it is Political Power, the first step to unbounded sway, that they demand : for so well aware are they of the supineuess of the British Protestants, that they have ceased to ask as a favour what half a century ago they dare not | name, but now loudly and boldly demand it. Let i us look back to the days and murders of Mary : during her reign, in one year, 85 persons suffered death, by the laws of this then wretched country, for being Protestants and denying the doctrines of Purgatory!!! Look at the reign of Elizabeth ; when, in one night, 10,000 Protestants were mas- sacred by the Catholics in Paris alone. In the reign of Charles the First, in three months, 40,000 Protestants fell victims to Popish superstition in Ireland. In one day, in 1798, thirty- six of the most respectable inhabitants of Wexford we*; e..' deliber- ately murdered by Catholics, by having pikes thrust through their bodies', aud then thrown over the balustrades of the bridge in that place, that the water may complete what their butchers had begun. Incredible as this may appear to the humane mifid, unfortunately it is too true. We have only one chance left, which is in paying the greatest atten- tion to the Religious Principles of the Candidates for your Representation in the next Parliament. Such are the principles of those who profess the Catholic tenets, that they firmly believe there is only one Religion acknowledged by our Divine Creator, and that that Religion is theirs, and that all others are without the pale of salvation. And is it to such men Englishmen are about to entrust their Liberties aud Lives? — Englishmen, who would die at their own doors in defence of those Liberties if openly attacked, but,, strange to say, are looking quietly cu at the rapid destruction of the foundation of those Liberties, for the erection of which their forefathers bled, and over which, when it is a heap of ruins, they will lament with bitter tears, and wish that they had died ere they had witnessed it.. Ask, then, boldly the man who soli- cits your Vote what his opinion of the Catholic Question is. Be. not ashamed of being a Lover of your Country. Think, judge, and act. for yourself, and set the'sophistry of the Political Tinkers at defiance. A PROTESTANT. Nov. 4th, 1824. MARRIED. On the 1st inst. at Llanyblodwel, by the Rev.

Tf fineness of the morning attracted an unusual con- course of spectators. The Ploughing Matches were well contested, and the Show of Stock was numerous, and reflected the highest credit to the County iu general. At 4 o'clock, a large party of Gentlemen and Agriculturists sat down to a sumptuous dinner at the Black Lion Inn ; Sir E. P. Lloyd, Bart, in the chair; supported by tile High Sheriff, E. Lloyd, Esq. Rhaggatt, J. W. Eyton, Esq. J. Douglas, Esq. E. Mostyn Lloyd, Esq. Rev. J. H. Clough ( Hope), S. Knight, Esq. Icc. & c. Affer dinner the President proceeded in his usual able and energetic manner to the dis- tribution of the Prizes to the different successful Candidates. Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart, was ap- pointed President for the year ensuing. It may not be amiss here to record the liberality and generosity evinced by the worthy Baronet towards the Society, by presenting it with a DONATION of ONE HUN » REI> GUINEAS, and an Annual Subscription of Fifty Guineas. ABEKVSTYVITH, OCT. 31.— Dreadful Occur rs7ice.— On Monday last, the weather being favour- able and a prospect of a good take of herrings, a number of boats, as well at this place as along the coast, collected for the purpose of fishing. All went out iu the night, without suspicion of im pending danger, and their hopes in a great measure were realized ; but at five o'clock in the mornin a storm arose at west, and continued to blow hard until about eight, when it increased to a per fee hurricane. The boats which had previously come to their anchorage, were instantly driven from their moorings and sent in all directions on shore ; at this time all was hustle and confusion ; the alarm bell ringing, houses unroofed, and windows broken, to an extent seldom known before — but, melancholy to relate, in the midst of this horror, a most appalling scene presented itself, by the ap- pearance of two fishing boats advancing towards the bar, and both soon after in the most distressing state stranded. The one got on shore to the north of the harbour, and with the greatest difficulty her crew were saved ; but the other sunk in the liar, hour's month — aud seven poor men perished in sight of several hundred spectators, who, although very near, could not possibly render them the least assistance. Thus, with many nearly similar in- stances at different periods, have we to lament the want of a place of safety for vessels in distress — the harbour being open to the west, and dangerous to approach in had weather— when, at a compara- tively trifling expense, a pier might have been erected, which not only would have saved the lives of these poor fellows, but many others, and pro- perty to an immense extent. Six of the bodies have since been thrown on shore, but the other, as yet, has. not appeared. What a sud tale to tell, and what rejection upon those who for want of exertiou have suffered a situation, perhaps not to be equalled for the erection of a pier, to be left open lo the merciless storm, when a small sum would not only be the means of preventing the loss of lives, but in a material point of view would preserve property to an extent not to be calculated upon. It is a subject not only worthy of the attention of the mercantile part of the community, especially those trading to all parts of the world through St. George's Channel, but to the Government of the country, for by a slight view of a map of England SHREWSBURY BRA WJV.

Priors Lee, under Authority of the said recited Act, : or of another Act made and passed in the First and Second Year of the Reign of his present Majesty, intituled " An Act for further improving the Roads " between London and Holyhead, by Coventry, Birmingham, and Shrewsbury," and to alter,' enlarge, and incorporate the Powers of the said last- mentioned Act, so far as the same relates to . the District of Road commencing at the Confines of j the Town of Shiffna!, at the1 Termination of the Wolverhampton Trust, and extending- through the said Town of Shiffnal to the Foot of Mumporn Hill aforesaid, and for varying, altering, or diverting the same ; in which Bill Provision is intended to be made for adding a Line of Turnpike Road to the Shiffnal District aforesaid, which now forms a Part of the Third District of Roads mentioned and described in a certain Act made and passed in the Forty- fourth Year of the Reign of his late Majesty King George the Third, intituled " Au Act for " enlarging the Term and Powers of Two Acts " made and passed in the.

I^ UBLIC Approbation, obtained fair and honourable Competition, has ever been the Object of my Ambition ; and 1 now enter the Lists for Public Favour, with the confident Belief that, though the last two Contractors did well, I have done belter. Disclaiming every invi- dious Feeling, I shall compare all tiie most popular Points of their Schemes with the leading Features of my own, and ihen leave it, without further Com- ment, to the Scrutiny of a discerning and liberal Public. The first Contractor presented the Public with Twenty Thousands, the last with Thirty Thousands ; my Scheme contains Two of each 1 viz. Two of £ 30,000, and Two of £- 20,000- they abolished the Blanks, so have I— their Prizes were all Sterling Money, and so, in Fact, are mine ; for though I have introduced £ 36,000 Three per Cents, it was but for the Purpose of giving an unequivocal Proof of my Confidence in the Prosperity and Resources of the Country ; as I hereby guarantee to the fortunate Holders of those Prizes ( whether bought at my own or any other Office) £ 100 for every £ 100 Stock, leaving them the Advantage of any Rise above that Price ; and I am convinced that the Day is not far distant when £ 100 in the Three per Cents, of England will be worth more than £ 100 iu Money. I have taken Two Days of Drawing instead of One, in Order that I might be enabled to present the Public with the Option of putting back the Tickets and Shares after the First Day, whether drawn or undrawn, at the Rate of £ 18 each, by which £ 20,000 must be gained, and £ 30,0U0 may be gained, by the. Risk of less than £ 5. That the Advantage of such an Offer is unparalleled in the Records of the Lottery, is the Pride of ThePuhlic's obliged and grateful Servant, G.

The Lord Bishop opened the Meeting, by observ- ing—- He felt himself highly gratified at seeing so large and respectable a meeting of Laity and Clergy assembled for the promotion of so excellent an object. The Society, whose interests they were that day assembled to promote, was one which had the greatest claims upon every man who was a lover of his country, and desired to see her flour- ishing in her firmest support- true and practical religion ; by every man', who feeling in his own * » reast the consolation of genuine Christianity, wished to see its benefits communicated to others ; by every man who felt that veneration, which he vassure every one present did feel, for our pure and apostolical church. The Society was founded, his Lordship observed, i:: 1699, and from that time lo the present, by the distribution of the Bible in the authorised version, and its best interpreter ( the Prayer- Book), tog- ether with tracts, approved in proportion to their conformity to these standards, had carried her healing and converting influence into our cottages, our hospitals, and our prisons. By her Missionaries, she had striven to promote the eternal interests of the Heathen : and by the pro- motion of the education of the poor, had been one of the best friends to the security and benefit of our country. He felt that, to the present assembly, it was unnecessary for him to enter into any detailed history of her objects and proceedings. He should, therefore, now, before entering upon the business of the day, call upon them to join him, according to the pious usage of the Society, in offering up to the Throne of Grace, the prayers it had appoint* a blessing on their undertaking. The Society's statement of the objects of District Committees having been read, several resolutions were moved and seconded, and unanimously adopted. The following noblemen and gentlemen accepted the offices in the District Committ<- e then estab ishe'd, according to the subjoined . staiement : — PRESIDENT—- The Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. VICE- PRESIDENTS— Earl Talbot, the Earl of Har- rowby. the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Bagot, the Archdeacon of Stafford, Sir John Wrottesley, Barf. M. P. Hon. E. Monckton, Sir Oswald Mosle Bart, and E. J. Littleton, F- sq. M. P. TREASURER— Thomas Mottershaw, Esq. JOINT SECRETARIES - The Rev. W. E. Coldwell, M. A. and the Rev. Henry Moore, M. A. In furtherance of the objects of the Meeting, donations to the amount of upwards of £ 34, and an annual subscription, for the purposes of the district, to the amount of £ 21, were immediately contributed. The thanks of the meeting were then moved by Earl Talbot to the Lord Bishop, for his kindness in having convened the present meeting, aud for his able conduct in the chair. The meeting- was then closed by the Bishop, according to the usage of the Society, with the prayers appointed for the occasion. < L'AYiior. ic ASSOCIATION.—' The Catholic As." sociation of Ireland have established permanent' sittings in Dublin, and announced thai the rent ( the name given to a weekly subscription of one penny from each person) now amounts to J& 300 per week. / This riVouev is to bfe applied to the re- dress of Catholic grievances,' by paying the expenses of legal prosecutions, and employing iters to advocate their cause.

The estates already sold have io, general averaged from 40 to 4ft years' purchase ; and on£ farm, near Newcastle- under- Lyme, which let for £ 170, but under which there is a very fine vein of coal, actually sold for £ 23,940, or 140 years' pur- chase on the rental.— One farm, near Coventry, sold for £ 13,776, whirl*, in 1799, when it was offered to sale to redeem land- tax, was bought in at £ 8,000.— The several sales already made have brought £ 160,000, exclusive of timber.— The Sutton Mall, Chilcote, and Coton Park estates, in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, to be sold in London,' on the 18th iiist. are expected to fetch nearly £ 400,000.— The estates are sold under an Act of Parliament, to clear the family estates of debts amounting to £ 450,000 ; so that it is expected that the present Marquis will shortly have his immense Irish estates wholly unincumbered, witlv additional money income to a considerable amount. Seven years ago, Mr. Whitehead, a draper iiV Worcester, and a member of the Society of Friends, was compelled,' by the sudden depression of his property, to compound willi his creditors, by paying them 10s. in the pound.

We regret to hear, that on Saturday afternoon a duel was fought in Fife, between Captain Gowrie and Mr. Wasta!!, a well- known traveller in the lace- trade, which , proved fatal to the former, who was shot through the heart.

[ FROM THE DUIJLIN EVENING MAIL.] There has not been, since our recollection, a | meeting, the result of which was looked forward to with greater anxiety than this. It was the first time that the " mild disputants," who have systema- tically interrupted those assemblies, by rushing at the head of ruffian mobs, were invited to meet the Ministers of Christ unarmed, and in the spirit of peace ; ari4. the expectation excited was in pro portion to the importance of the subject about to be iiscussed. For several da\ s previously to the meeting-, the Committee were busily employed in making the necessary arrangements, and on Mon- day last, tickets of admission were issued to such applicants as wished to he present at the discussion on Friday. The following regulations were printed on the card which entitled the bearer to admission : The business will be opened by a speake behalf of the question. No two persons will be heard in succession on the same side of the question, so long as speakers ap- pear on the opposite side. No expressions of applause or disapprobation on the part of the audience will be permitted. Prompt submission must be given to the decision of the Chair. The meeting will break up at half- past four o'clock. N. B. Every person accepting a ticket, binds j himself to the above regulations. Will it be believed that vot one of those persons who loudly advocate legislative enfranchisement, yet turbulently oppose mental emancipation— not one of those who pretend to promote the education of the poor, and yet exert the energies of that pow- erful influence which they have obtained over the minds of their flocks, in withholding from them a i knowledge of that which constitutes the best part of education — Religion— not one of those who preach the " Rent" as the road to temporal enjoyments, and eternal benefits— not one of the Priests dared to enter the arena to support by argument, those doc- trines which they were ready enough to enforce with clubs. MAYO BIBLE SOCIETY. On Monday, the Anniversary Meeting of the Friends and Subscribers of the North Mayo Bible Society took piaoe at. Ballina. Our High Sheriff, Colonel Jackson, took the Chair, and stated, that this being a meeting of the friends and subscribers of the Institution, it was expected that no person would interrupt the proceedings by addressing- the meeting, but such as had been previously appointed by the Committee. A Report was read by the Secretary, detailing the proceedings of the Society for the last year. Ou the conclusion of the Report, the Rev. Mr. ! Seymour was announced as about to address the meeting, but before this gentleman could accom- j plish his intention, another candidate stood forth in the person of a Roman Catholic Clergyman — we believe a Mr. Lyons; he was immediately called to order by the Chairman, and reminded that this being a meeting of the Friends and Snbscribeis of J the Bible Society ( in neither of which characters', } we believe, the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ireland are ambitious to rank), he could not be heard on the present occasion ; but the Rev. Gentleman, surrounded by a troop of coadjutors, did not seem at all disposed to assent to this decision, till the firmness of the Chairman, and the decided tone of the Meeting against such interruption, effectually ; prevailed in establishing order, and in securing the progression of the business of the dav — not, indeed, without repeated attempts on the part of the said Mr. Lyons, and his said coadjutors, to interfere iu the proceedings of the Society with which they are in nowise connected. Ou pereeiv- I ing the total hopelessness of the case, the Rev. I Gentleman commanded all the Roman Catholics | present immediately to leave the Meeting ; but, as ; if discomfiture was to attend them on every side, . this final effort seemed just as unavailing as the j former— we could not learn that a single individual departed in obedience to this mandate. The Meeting was severally addressed upon the different topics in connection with the Society, by the Rev. Messrs. Seymour, Browne, Creig- hton, Walker, Smith, Hargrove, Jackson, and Urwick.— Irish ' J'i/ nes. MOON1 A Age. < c 25 - 25 M © TT orq' = - •-< o — 3 v. r a",. o x 3" _ a 2 3 c 73 Greatest height of Bar.

[ Extractedfrom an article in Blackwood's Magazine for the present month ] ' We have been taught to detest the continental monarch*, and we have profited so well by the in- tlructioo, that scarcely any pariji Can speak of tliein except in terms of execration. For a ministerial paper to speak respectfully of these monarch*, would be little heller iliaa treason. Well, what bare these pour monarehs done ? They have done as ihev pleased iu their own affairs— they have done what We always do in similar circumstances— I hey ha ve refused to be discrowned — they have rejected constitutions wliii- h the whole world knew to be absurd and ruinous— they have made war upon jacobinism, upon infidelity, and democracy— they have refused to establish liberty at n time when it was impossible lo establish it— they have scorned our dictation, and refused to rush into destruction at our bidding. And, oh^ horrible ! they have crushed their Benthamites and Byruuites, knocked up Liberalism, and restored tranquillity to the whole Continent! Is this all?— All! What more can be necessary to sanction us in detesting tin in? But perhaps these monarchs have laboured to pist down rational and genuine liberty? They estab- lished a constitution in France greatly resembling our own. Have they endeavoured lo destroy No; they have fought for its preservation. When they dethroned Ihe tyrannical Cortes of Spain, did they wish to re establish the old despotism ? No, their influence was exerted to procure for Spain a Constitution like that of France. An attempt was recently made In Portugal to restore the old despotism in all its force. Did they second it? No; they opposed it, and supported the king in his wishes lo give to Portugal a rational constitution. Well, after alt, it seems that these nionarchs are friendly to such constitutions us our own, and to constitutional liberty like that of England? Yes; but they hale jacobin constitutions, aud jacobin liberty. And do we not hale these too, in regard to their establish meat iu our own country ? It cannol he denied. Perhaps we have suffered grievously by what these monarchs have done— perhaps the triumph of the revolutionists would have been of prodigious benefit to us as a nation? Alas! even here our animosity towards the monarch* can find no resting- place. We have gained very nearly as much from what they have done, as they themselves have gained. We owe to llicm a very large portion of our present tranquillity; they fought for us even when we were against them ; and when they smote Liberalism in their own territories, they gave the death. wound to languishing faction and rebellion here. If the revolutionists had been successful in some countries, and had continued their struggles iu others, we should unquestionably have been still convulsed, by the endeavour* of powerful factions to plunge us into revolution. Almost the first things that the revolutionists of Spain and Portugal thought of after they obtained power, were to abuse us and our constitution, to administer pity and encourage- ment to our Radicals, and to make severe enactments against our trade. The revolutionists of France bated us. If any of the more powerful nations of Europe had been revolutionized, we could scarcely have avoided a war willi them; and their moral influence alone would have been nearly sufficient to give a linim pb to onf own revolutionists. In addi- tion to this, tlie din, which, conjointly with our friends of the " Liberal System," they would have kept up iu favour of revolutionary doctrines, could hardly have failed to kindle rebellion in some one or other of our transmarine possessions. The enemies who Were annihilated by the Holy Alliance, were the enemies of the constitution of England, of the trade of England, of the general interests of Eng- land, and of the people of England. Nevertheless these monarchs possess absolute power— they are despots—- and therefore we must abuse them. No doubt we can do this justifiably— no doubt we can bring clean hands to the matter— no doubt, as we execrate despotism so furiously, we are not despots ourselves— no doubt the British sceptre is not waved over a single bondsman. Alas! alas ! wE— we who are eternally blackening the allied moniirchs, because they will not surrender absolute power at the cost of almost certain destruc- tion, are ourselves the despots over millions upon millions, to whom we might give freedom at the price of only a part of what we possess. We, the blustering, swaggering devotees of liberty, rule over nations by a despotism more searching and compre- hensive than any of the continental ones! Do we then say that we ought to give constitutions to the nations of the East ? No ! we would advise no such absurdity— we would prepare no such scourges for them, or injuries for our own country ; but we will * ay that, with regard to the abstract question, they have as much right to liberty as the nations of the continent; and that we have a much worse title to lie the despots of Asia, than the continental monarchs h; ive to be the despots of Europe. Shame would strike us dumb, were we, like our Broughams, * # # *, and * * *— our liberal Whigs and trimming Tories— with our Eastern possessions be- fore us, to attempt to say to the Emperor of Austria, — Thou art a despot. Perhaps this matter with regard to despotism may be explained by the magic of geography— perhaps that which is slavery in Europe, is freedom in Asia ? Alas, no ! Perhaps we have some exclusive right to be the only despots in the universe? No! Perhaps we are authorized by some law, human or divine,\ o he the dictators of other states in the management of their affairs— to command them to shape their go- vernments as we please— to plunge them into rebel, lion, anarchy, and blood, whenever we may take it in our heads to do so— and to order tbe continent; 1 niouarchs to give away their power, and step in- ruin, whenever we may wish it? No such lawXvas ever heard of. Perhaps what is crime here, iS purity on the continent — what is falsehood here, is truth on the continent— what is destructive here, is beneficial on the continent— the opinions and institutions that tire proscribed here, ought to be protected ou the continent ? . Heaven aud earth say the contrary. Then the u Liberal System" is not less false and wicked, than detestable and ruinous. The prejudice that has been got up against, the continental monarchs is, in our judgment, calculated to do vital injury to genuine liberty ; and it is, more- over, calculated to have the most baleful effects on our foreign policy and our national interests. If our constitution stand upon Liberalism and Republicanism, we do well to range ourselves with the Liberals and Republicans; but if not, we are dioging away the foundations of this constitution. wVliear, in truth, abundance of general cant about this constitution being the best in the world ; but where can we find the man, among either Whigs or Tories, who will defend its component parts, its maxima, and tbe principles which form its basi9, Item" oy Tirm ; vv TIC IT snan r. o u. ™ recommends its adoption to other states, and who does not laud, in the most riotous manner, the prin- ciples which it proscribes and abhors ? If the creed of the Liberals and Republicans be a true one, our constitutional creed is a false one— if their forms of government ought to be established, ours ought to he abolished— if we cry up their principles, we cry down our own— and if we fight for them, we fight against ourselves. LIBERALITY, potent magician hough it b'e, cannot confute us. Our raving in favour of the Liberals and Republicans is in fact t< aching liberalism and republicanism to the nation lit large ; and if this produce its natural fruits, it will in the end destroy our constitution, " and, deny it who will, our liberties. If we wish to preserve our monarchy as it now exists, we must choose olir associates amidst mo- narchies that are not more limited than our own. If the power of the crown were less among our neigh hours, than with us, it would speedily be here reduced fti the same point ; if several of the conti- nental states were republics, we should soon have the same form of government ; and if we estrange ourselves from monarchies, aud cultivate friendship and interchange of fueling and sentiment with republics alone, we shall scarcely fail of becomiu ourselves a republic. The cry, however, now is, on almost all hands- Have nothing to do with the continental monarchs ! It is made a matter <> f reproach to the late Marquis of Londonderry, that lie was personally acquainted with them, and it is actually made a merit in M Canning, that he knows them not. Preposterous nonsense ! They have suffered our free constitution to exist for centuries without molesting it — they have fought for theconstitution of France— they have wished to see similar ones in Spain and Portugal- and the King of Prussia is at this very moment making a large surrender of political power to his subjects— yet we are to believe that tbev wish to destroy our liberty ! Could folly* on the one band, and gullibility, on the other, go farther? Hovv many yea is have passed away since we hum bly sued to'these 4k Despots" for their friendship ? How many years have passed away since they fought in person for ns and our liberties, as well as Cor themselves? How many years have passed away since they profusely poured the blood and treasures of their realms for our benefit as well as their own ? We did not then curse them for being despots— we did not then quarrel with them for drawing their swords against Liberalism— against the principles of tlie French Revolution, ( sail this so soon forgotten " Has it so soon vanished from our remembrance, that to them we owe a large share of our wealth, great- ness, glory, and happiness ? Gratitude, alas I seems not to he numbered among our good feelings. It has hitherto been thought wise and necessary in us to have as powerful a party as possible among the continental nations. Austria above all other coun- tries was called the natural friend and aily of Eng- land, and we were fo cultivate the closest intimacy with hel% regardless of her despotism. How often has not this Austria fought at our side! How often has she not raised the standard to collect for us allies in a war for existence ! How often has she not risked all, and nearly lost all, in our cause as well as her own? Well, now we are to have a brilliant new system of foreign policy, which shall strip us of every " continental friend, which shall leave us without a vestige of influence on the continent, which shall league the whole continent against us. Austria is to fee the especial object of our detestation ; for her all the bitterest epithets of the Statesmen of Cock- aigne are reserved. We are to goad the continental powers into a community of interest against us, instead of dividing them— we are to plant every thing between them and ourselves that can yiel war, instead of cultivating their friendship;— and we are to do this, that we may be enabled to coquet with, smile upon, and pension such people as the Spanish, French, and Italian revolutionists; and to hold soft alliance with a parcel of helpless republics, which, barring their trade, can only draw us into scrapes and difficulties. Burke was wont to speak of pedlar systems, but really this is not a pedlar System; the pedlar looks for gain, but at any rate here is a marvellous lack of selfishness and cove! oitsness. Here is liberality with a vengeance National interests! as we have already said,— what are national interests when they clash with the " Liberal System ?" What are uational interests to Liberalism and Revolution ? Of course^ as we make such a stupendous fuss about tradfy vVfc fiftve no trade with the continental HdtiohS—' bf course we do not wish to trade with them — of course they could not injure our trade in othe quarters— of course they could not deprive us of any colonies— of course we could not benefit from any of them in any war we might be engaged in— of course, f we went to war with them, we might conquer them in a moment— of course we have every thin gain, and nothing to lose by going to war— and of course we have a right to quarrel with the cont nehfal monarchs for being* despots, and everything to hope for from such quarrel. If all these be not matters of course, what are we loing ? what madness has seized us? and to what loss aud calamities are we rushing? Oh, glorious u Liberal System !" how gig- antic is thy wisdom! How fascinating are thy benefits' We will examine, on the present occasion, only one more of the various species of fruits which this system produces. The grand principle on which it stands is, to value men and things in proportion to their worth lesauess and dangerous character. It puffs such men as Burden, Hobhouse, Hume, Wilson, Lord Coch rane, & c„ as first- rate statesmen and patriots, execrates such as Lord Eldon, the Duke of Welling ton, the late Marquis of Londonderry, Lord Liver- pool. kc. as fools, knaves, and bigots. It dauhssuch writers as Lord Byron, Rloore, and Lady Morgan, with every kind of panegyric— it blackens such as Southey and Gifford in every possible way. If yo be a religious man, it smiles at your fanaticism, or rails against your bigotry— if you be a moral man, it cracks jests on your weakness— if you bean infidel, it compliments you on your freedom from prejudice — and if you be unprincipled, debauched, and licen- tious, it dubs you a most profitable and enlightened member of society. There is scarcely any virtue that it does not decry, or any vice that it does not praise ; and there is scarcely any merit that it does not attack, nor any guilt that it does not justify. In a word, if you reverse all that our greatest statesmen have laid down with regard to politics, and all that our wisest philosophers and moralists have taught in respect to the well- being of society, you have the u Liberal System^ beforeyou in splendid fulness and perfection. WE have now, we hope, given a home. thrust to the monstrous bladder of the " LIHERAL SYSTEM,"— i> f LIBERALITY ; we have, we trust, done something towards lessening its enormousinfiation, and we will stab it again and again before we take our leave of it. Never before in our days were such immense sacrifices of principles— of national interests— of the foundations of society— and of the best feelings and possessions of mankind, made to anything, as are now made to this skin- and- wiud god — LIBERALITY. Our national existence was endangered and the swords of nearly the whole world were turned iust us, yet we fought like heroes for our prin- ciples, our int.; itutiohs, our church, and our mon- archy; but now, when we revel in almost every benefit that even miracle could give us, and when nearly every nation upon earth wishes to be our friend, we must adopt idle opinions and people that we then fought against, and slap every one in the face who can prove/ a dangerous enemy. What all this will lead to if it be not checked, may be dis- covered withouj ihe aid of prophecy ; and it. matters not who maj^ upport it, he is the friend of England and of mankind, who resists it to the utmost. nth of my present declaration, that I imped, and fully intended to make restitution immediately when the expected prosperity of the House would have enabled me. This must, I think, my Lord, appeal vident, from my having frequently replaced the money withdrawn-; and the bank books will prove, that many of the sums mentioned in the document written in 1816, have been since re- invested by me to the credit of the parties. That document, my Lord, has been supposed to have been prepared iu contemplation of flight : this idea is, however, erro- neous, and is sufficiently refuted by my continuance at my residence and business for years subsequently. The only object and intention of that paper was in the event of sudden death, before the whole of the money should be re- invested, to absolve every one besides myself even from suspicion. Unfortunately for me, a succession of adverse events^ which 1 could neither vert nor control ( a part, of which 1 detailed at length on my trial), ied bn from one false step to her, until the affairS of the bouse became so involved that extrication was impossible. In these difficult ies, I offered m y self" as the only sacrifice ; and t is my duty, as a man and as a Christian, to resign myself to my fate. For thl*, my Lord, fallen and degraded as I am, life has no allurements; and a momentary pang will at once put an end to my mental agonies and to my earthly existence. But, y Lord, I have numerous relations,— amongst them, my dear and venerable mother,—- whose feel ings I reverence ; and for their sakes more than my own, I venture to supplicate that I may not be doomed to suffer a violent aud ignominious death If crime, my Lord, can be atoned for by suffering, my offences, heavy as they are, have long been expiated, not merely by the overwhelming embar- rassments of the concern in which I was engaged, but by years of anxious terror and agonizing appre- hension; and if, my Lord, the anguish of mind I have endured for the last sixteen years of my life, ivnd the peculiar circumstances in which ! have been placed ever since I arrived af man'? estate, could be made known to my Most Gracious Sovereign, 1 yen, ure to hope that his Majesty's benevolent and feeling heart would be touched with compassion for my situation, and that I should not be considered object wholly undeserving of the Royal clemency. May I, therefore, my Lord, presume to solicit your Lordship's humane interposition, to communicate for His Majesty's merciful consideration the circum- stances to which I have alluded: and, ou behalf of y dearest relations, I supplicate that the punish- ment of death may he remitted.'" The unhappy man read, audibly and distinctly,, except at that part of the address which alluded to his mother: there his voice faltered, and he struck his hand forcibly on the bar. When he concluded, he resumed the calm demeanour which had previ onslV characterised him. The following prisoners were then placed at tbe bar to receive sentence of death, together with Mr. Fauntleroy :— John Cook alias Jackson, for burglary; Win. Oliver, for highway robbery ; Win, Moore, for fhe same offence ; Wm, Da I ton, for house- break- ing; Henry Harris, for burglary; Henry Ley, for stealing in a dwelling house; John Passenger, for tbe same offence; Henry John Walls, for the same offence; Edward Harris* for robbing in an open place near the King's highway; Evan Williams, James Adams, Ann Williamson, and Bridget Follett, for stealing in a dwelling- house. Silence having been proclaimed, The Recorder then proceeded to a44ress , pri- soners. Amobg them, he observed, there were none who had lived to an age nearly approaching to the termination of their natural lives. Had they con- ducted themselves agreeably to the commands of God, and the laws of their country, they might at that moment, instead of standing in their awful situ- ation, have been living in the esteem of mankind, and possibly in the enjoyment of the distinctions which wealth and rank could bestow. They fur- nished a dreadful example that a life of crime must very speedily terminate in a violent and untimely death. The crimes of some of those whom he was addressing were of a very aggravated character The forger, whose crime might involve even the richest in utter ruin— the midnight burglar, who carried away the property, perhaps the little all,, of the inhabitant whose house be entered— and the robber, who not only took away the property of tbe persons whom he assaulted, hut left them with little evidence of remaining life, were persons who would do well to make the best use of the time which was allotted to them, for their's were cases to which, in all human probability, no mercy would be extended Afteragain exhorting all the prisoners to make their peace with God by sincere repentance, tbe learned Judge, in the usual form, passed upon them the sentence of death. The prisoners were then re- moved. The Recorder directed Mr. Wontner to inform Mr. Fauntleroy, that the paper which he had read might, if he wished it, be laid before the King's Council. The sessions were then adjourned by proclamation It will he seen from the report of Mr. Fanntle- roy's trial, that in the years 1814 and 1815 lie disposed of stock to the amount of £ 170,000. Ext ordinary as it may appear, we have been informed, upon tbe most unquestionable authority, that the total amount of stock sold by him gince the year 1814, under forged powers, and neither replaced nor accounted for to the stockholders, amounts in sterling money to nearly £ 400,000. This is independent o! frauds committed by misapplying sums received for the purposes of investing stock, of stock sold unde genuine powers to be used in events which did not arise, and of claims for securities deposited in ibe house, but improperly made away with. .

Phillips, severally addressed the Court, in arrest of judgment in the case of Mr. Frtuutieroy, contending that the. Statutes which made the issuing of a forged deed a capital felony, could not be construed to include powers of attorney. — Mr. Baron Garrow delivered his judgment at length, deciding that the conviction Was good in law, and that, by the term u deed'" . the Statutes must be taken to mean any instrument by the issuing of which a person could gain possession of another's property— The Recorder coincided in this opinion. Mr. Fauntleroy then rose, and read the following statement 44 MY LORD,— lam well aware that no emergen- cies, however pressing— that no embarrassments, however great, can be listened to as an excuse for the offence of which I have been found guilty; but 1 trust it may be considered as some palliation in a moral point of view, that a desire to preserve myself and others from bankruptcy, and not personal ag- grandizement or selfish gratification alone, urged and impelled me to the acts 1 have committed ; and when I first deviated from rectitude, it was owing to an acute, although, I admit, mistaken feeling, to ob- tain temporary relief; and not from any deliberate THE CASE OF MB. FAUNTLEROY.— The trial of this unfortunate man, to which every one looked forward as the means of developing the mysteries of his character, habits, and incitements to guilt, has terminated, it is true, in his capital conviction— but it has only enveloped the case itself in more myste- rious obscurity.— He declares that he plunged into crime, not for'the gratification of any sensual appe- tite— not for the attainment of luxury or enjoyment not for the purposes of gambling'; nor* in short, fo any necessity of his own, individually— but to uphold an establishment which has been tottering on the brink of ruin for the" last sixteen years. He tells us that, he ran all the frightful hazard of his guilty course without the knowledge of an y one of the men whose interests and whose reputation he was thus upholding, by acts of the most determined and deli, berate villainy.— Standing in the most awful situa tion to which a human being can be exposed, we are bound to place some reliance upon a statement, made, not " with the view of criminating others, but to excite the commiseration of his fellow men, and to remove from his character some portion o tiie obloquy with which it had been aspersed. His effort was not to clear himself from the crime whic had been proved upon him ; but to refute the cbarg< of dissipation and personal extravagance. But how ever willingly we would credit all lie has stated one passage of his address on his trial, strikes ns too forcibly, not to shake our opinion of its containiu • " the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but th truth." He says, 44 During these numerous and trying difficulties, the house was nearly without resources, and the whole burthen of management falling upon me, I was driven to a state of distrae tion, in which I. could meet with no relief from my partners; and almost broken- hearted I sought sources where I could, and so long as they were provided, and the credit of the house supported, n inquiries were made, either as to the manner in ichich they pere procured, or as to the sources from ivhence they were derived This certainly is a most extra- ! ordinary declaration. An enthusiastic feeling of gratitude to men who " had been his patrons, aud had advanced his fortunes in life, might lead a generous spirit into the commission of crime, to save them from impending ruin:— the hope of averting destruction from an establishment in which his partners united their desperate efforts to his, and shared in the perils and anxieties, and riskedithe infamy and punishment, as well as the profits of his guilt, might tempt a man to sin as he has done— but to incur the fearful re- sponsibility— to suffer long years of the most dread- ful and unceasing apprehension— to sacrifice his peace of mind, his hopes of happiness-— with an ignominious death for ever in his thoughts-^- and all this for men who took no interest in the concern except to share the gains, the accumulation of which was to them a matter of seeming indifference— for memeho afforded him no relief in his distraction,— who made no enquiries 44 as to the manner in lohich resources were procuredbut who contentedly pocketed the profits of these resources, which their own consciences must have told them they were not entitled to ;— this statement we declare shakes our belief.— At all events, public opinion and public suspicion are excited, and must be satisfied. The world must be informed how so large a sum as £ 400,000 could be added to the funds of a Banking- house, and three of the four partners be ignorant of the means by which they became possessed of such an addition to their capital.— Cheltenham Chron. oison ; ana u is ine ui: nd the interest of the State, to remove such deadly poison. The Necessity of right Instruction• Our readers? will recollect, that a few weefes ago a Roman Catholic Priest was tried and convicted in Ireland, for having^ under pretence of exorcising a child, and thereby performing a miracle to cure it of a bodily malady^ caused its death by tuVning a tub upon it, the edge of which crushed the child in a dreadful manner. The parents and frietids of the child, ignorantly relying on the powers invested by their religion in the hands of their Priests, witnessed the murder of the child without attempt- to interfere! The Jury returned a verdict of guilty, hot found the Priest ( named O'Carrol) insane. The following observations on the subject were addressed to the Editor of the Bristol Journal; and the recent interruption of Bible and other Protestant meetings in Ireland, by the Itoman Catholic Priests and their followers, renders these emarks more peculiarly appropriate to the present moment:— " Ignorance is a dangerous and spiritual poison which all men ought warily to shun."~-&£. Gregory. CERTAIN principles, when they have been long practised, become so established as to appear not to require any investigation as to their propriety ; and yet, on strict examination, many such principles have been proved to be erroneous. The Philosopher who publicly contradicted that universal idea of the sun moving round the earth, instead of the earth revolving round that planet, was rewarded for his ingenuousness by imprisonment in the Inquisition That tribunal, if such au execrable power can merit the appellation of a seat of judgment* was not one particle wiser in its decision than the ignorant bulk of the rest of mankind ; and candour, good charac- ter, and even potent interest cculd not have saved this Philosopher, if he had not recanted his opinions, " and thus denied what has since been established as a truth. This one fact ought to make sensible men reflect before they decide on any important affair; and even after decision, it should leave an impres- sion on their minds, that nothing can degrade the human intellect more, than for a set of persona to assume an authority over conscience, and dictate what is to be believed, or limit the operation & extent of reason. Such assumption, however, claimed by the Romish Hierarchy, and snch limitation is fixed by Papal authority. The result of the most plain conviction is suppressed or counteracted by the terror of the Inquisition ; and to such assumption, such authority, such terror, do a multitude of persons submit, who possess reason, who are endowed with intellect, and who are open to rational conviction This is certainly a contradiction to common sense; and yet this apparent anomaly admits of an easy explanation. The Savage is wild, but in his state of nature is not ferocious, till he is excited by some external cause : both his wildness and ferocity pro ceed from his total seclusion from civilization; as soon as this once takes place, bis native qualities are subdued, and his first principles are forsaken. The civilized Pagan, who immolates himself or other human victims to his imaginary Deity, is not. devoid of reason, he betrays no want of rationality in tbe common occurrences of life ; bis reason is wrong directed for want of better instruction ; he performs what he has cpnceived to be right; he has only fulfilled a duty, and one which was essential to pro- cure him, iu his opinion, some future bliss. The absolute Atheist ( if there ever were such a character in reality, and not one foolishly feigned from th pride of singularity), who notwithstanding conforms to the customs of common life, religious exercise only fexeepted^ cannot be esteemed as really devoid of intellect, but that be has not allowed his intellect fair play, nt? r used those means for its enlighten ment which every natural object and social inter- course could have supplied. From these positions the conclusion is obvious, that the Savage Man, the Pagan, and the absolute Infidel are such, only from the want of right instruction. This must point on to every reflecting* person the necessity not only of education, but the still more urgent necessity, that such education should be rightly directed. This subject may be considered as not strictly proper fo the columns of a newspaper, but as the instruction of their fellow m& n, as well as their entertainment^ lias been demonstrated on so many occasions to be an object of consequence with the Editors of icspect- able Journals, the writer entreats a space for con veying id tbe public eye some few truths, which many of them would not be permitted to peruse ) those books which could expound them so muiili better. The very book of God has been cavilled at by some, beeti misrepresented by others* and whatl if possible, is yet more extraordinary* those who neither cavil at it, or pretend to misrepresent it, forbid its free use to that multitude over whom they possess an unbounded influence!! The seriou reader knows, that # ithiu these few years* since the circulation of the Bible in the different native Ian guages has been facilitated by British benevolence, and supplied by British bounty, these Sacred vo. lumes have been particularly decried as dangerous fo Roman Catbolicsj and been almost forbidden by Papal briefs and Priestly direction. Tbe Pope is right, and the Priests only act in conformity to their solemn oaths. A thorough knowledge of the Bible would be more than dangerous to the Pope and his Hierarchy ; it would be absolutely destructive of hi: assumed authority, it would overthrow Priestciaft, aud make the Inquisition, the execrable Inquisition be abolished from thos<? countries where it locally ex- erts its power, and its influence be suppressed in those governments where it now only operates by such mo difications as are indeed cognizable, but not exposed to the action of the law. The Romish Priesthood especially in Ireland, have tftade everyone of thei communion be withdrawn from those schools where instruction in the Holy Scriptures is afforded. The blood of an innocent child lies at the door, not of the insane priest O'Carrol, who stifled it under the tub, but of those ignorant poor wretches who had been taught to pay such reverence to their Priests as to think they cannot err. To expel devils, to work miracles, io influence the decrees of the Deity, are powers attributed to tbe Pope and his Hierarchy ; to deny this, is " to expose the recusant to those penal- ties of their Church discipline, and to tbe tortures of the Inquisition, where it exists, and to what is nearly as bad, to excommunication, where that infernal tribunal has no local power. The disciples of Jug- garnanght are not more absurd than were the disci- pies of Father O'Carrol ; his madness excused him, but what can excuse the spectators of his act and its dreadful catastrophe ? or what can in future prevent a similar recurrence ? The Scriptures tell us, if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch !! Protectants ought, it is their bounden duty, to diffuse the knowledge of the Bible; and the perusal of that book should not be given up in any place of general instruction, from motives of expediency at present, from the principle of appearing liberaly or from any regard to Papal authority and Priestly jurisdiction. Let not Protestants have to accuse themselves of being any way, ever so remotely, accessary to such a state of ignorance as led to the destruction of this innocent child, submitted to be exorcised by its infatuated pareuts and friends.* The Priest indeed was mad ; but are not the whole communion worthy of both censure and commiseration, who can suppose a mortal, like themselves, has power supernatural ? Does not that Hierarchy which can claim such a supernatural power, and pretend to demonstrate it by affecting weak minds, deserve the severest rebukes? Are the lives of little innocents to be suffered to be exposed to such demoniacal exorcisms ? If tbe people be weak enough to believe their Priests in preference to Scripture— if the Priests will persevere in practices so repugnant to right reason— if the just ridicule of such a man as Erasmus caunot make such folly to be laid aside— if the serious admonitions of the gravest writers cannot ifbolish snch delusions— it is to be hoped, that some conscientious member of the Legislature will propose some law to save his Majesty's subjects from being put to death by mad Priests, or exposed to danger by a set of men" who try and do persuade their deluded flocks that they actually possess supernatural power. If Protestant's will not set their faces most decidedly against such doctrines, and if Parliament will not provide against such deeds, what is to preserve any child of the Popish communion from being cut off under the pretence of exorcism ? It is not in the power of such infants to help themselves; must they be let fall the M miscellaneous* EntclUgcntf. • In the 23d Session of the Council of Trent, Chap. 2< 1 of the Seven Orders, it says, " atque uuus cujusque eorum propria ministeria, Subdiaconi scilicet, Acolythi, Exor- cistie." This Session, held the 15th of July, I5G3, says, that all the Orders are Sacraments, therefore the Exorcists by this Canon must perform their Offices or break one of the Romish Sacraments ; so that if the Devils are to ily out of the possessed into the entire body of the Exorcists, instead of running; into the sea like the herd of swine in Scripture, these Exorcists might fall on all the little chil- dren, aud, like Father O'Carrol, stitte them under tubs.

SALE OF ANTIQUES.— On the 14th tilt, there was a curious sale at Kirkinmr- liill, of old effects belonging- to a person lately deceased there. He was the last survivor of a family that had resided at Draffanfor iipwaids of three hundred years ; and the knowledge that there would be sold the various costumes that, had been in fashion among our fore- fathers for many generations back, and bad been handed down from father to son, drew together an immense crowd. Most of the articles, from their antiquity, were bought at high prices. There was a silver watch, made 100 years ago, which Went well, and indicated ihe day of the month as well as an eight- day clock.- Three presses, little better than umber, which had been in usefor 170years, brought more than any new presses would have done. There were forty of the oldest fashioned vests to be found in Scotland, and bad any person connected with tbe stage been present, they w » , uld have proved a valua- ble acquisition, and been a gentiine representation of the costume of the last two centuries, instead of the imitations of the present day. There was one vest wiib elegant buttons of Charles ll's reign, the lappets of which hung over the thig- hs of the breeches, and it was single- breasted. The various patterns nnd shapes of those days were a most in- teresting sight, and carried the mind back to former times. Some vests and coats had buttons on then) with the inscription, " Duke of Cumberland,- born ' 721," and the bust of the Duke. About 500 yards of ham and linen went off at 2s. 4d. a yard, being a half above value. There were eight Bibles sold, which were very old, and there was much com. petition for them. A number of old catechisms, which had accumulated in ihe family, were eagerly purchased by the curious. There were a number of reeds and oilier articles connected with weaving-, some of them 150 years old, and quite different from those at present in use. There was a large hit of cotton gowns of different figures and colours. There were two very rich silk brown and black gowns, of a particular make, and well worthy the attention of the milliners of Ihe present day, as it corroborated the saying that there was nothing- new under the sun, and showed that the present fashions were wholly derived from our forefathers. There was a bottle of very old Jamaica rtnn found hid among the old ap- parel, which was handed like a scent bottle round the company. There was n number of ancient cra- vats, made with fringes at ihe end; and squares for women's caps, with lace round them, put to the fig- tire of the ladies' dresses of the present day. There were ( 52 caps, which gave a fine idea of the head- dresses 150 aud 200 years ago. There was a vast quantity of stockings of curious forms. There was a singular woollen petticoat, fringed round the bot- tom with red, which would answer well for the Gentle Shepherd. The family seat at the door was a solid piece of eannel coal, and had been tlierfe longer than any one recollected. A variety of other old articles was disposed of at high prices. Indeed, any person could have been furnished with nil the differ- ent modes of fashion for two centuries hack. The sale lasted two days.— Glasgow Journal. In a general meeting of the Freeholders, Com- missioners of Supply, and Justices of the Peace of the County of Ross, held iu Tain, on the 13th day of October, 1824, it was unanimously resolved, " that the thanks of this County be respectfully tendered to the Right Hon. John Earl of Eldon, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, for the eminent service he has rendered Scotland, by ap- plying his great talents, and extensive legal know ledge, to the improvement of the forms under which the law is administered in our Courts of Justice— a service forming a worthy sequel of that unbounded labour, and painful anxiety, bestowed by him on the decision of cases in the Supreme Appellate Jurisdiction; which have justly endeared his name to the people of Scotland; anil that Sir James Wcmyss Mackenzie, Bart. Member of Par- liament for this County, and Preses of this Meet ing, be requested to communicate the sentiments of this County to his Lordship."- Inverness Journal. Moscow, though containing a population of only about 350,000 souls, is Said to Stand upon more ground than any city in Europe; almost every Palace or Nobleman's house having a garden, ami all wooden houses being detached, from Ihe fear of fire. A curious fraud was discovered recently by the officers of the Customs at Liverpool. On amining six hogsheads, said to contaii) a dye called turnsole, landing from a Dutch galliot, in orde to be trans shipped to Dublin, only a small quantity of tbe article was found HI hags, iugeni ously fitted to each end of the casks— ihe remaining contents being fine tobacco. A few weeks after the death of Jano Lee, of Carrickfergus, some children of the neighbourhood entered her house, then waste, and on turning over some dirt in the floor found several guineas. On this being known, others gathered in, aud dis covered in the holes in the floor, and under old boards near the window, about 200 guineas. In one instance a small tea cup was found full of uineas, covered with a Spanish dollar.— Dublin Freeman's Journal. A new Species of Potato— Some potatoes of new sort have eog- aged attention at Liverpool. Tbev are of a long shape, have a smooth white skin, antl appear to have a greater number of eyes than any others ; but their peculiarity is their fecundity, anil their growing together in clusters, as from the centre of a circle. The intelligent grower of them, Mr. John Phillips, of Childwall, gives this account: — '' These potatoes were presented to the grower by Mr. Sheppard, of the Liverpool Botanic Garden, in the spring of 1823, being a new species from • Canada. From the above 39 sets were procured, and planted in ihe beginning of April. The pi ants came on remarkably well, but were nearly all de stroyed by a pig, which got into the garden : what remained were reserved for sets the following- year, but were diminutive and unripe when taken out of the earth. In the spring of this year ( 1824) a piece of ground, measuring' 12 feet 6 inches by 8 feet., was reserved for another trial, and the sets, though very indifferent, were planted in that space, at the distance often inches asunder and fifteen be- tween the rows. The crop was taken up on the 8th of October, and produced 514 potatoes, weighing 103lbs. Many of them were found gratving in clusters of 6 and 7, and in measuring some ot' the largest, they are found to be and eight inches long, and inches in circumference. This potatoe is of the kidney _ species, thin skinned, and re- markably go « d, either roasted or boiled ; and be- ing what is called a remarkably good cropper, will be found. serviceable either for the table or for cattle. It will not answer as an early potatoe, being then sweet and waxy ; hut when ripe is perfectly white and mealy. Should the next year's crop be pro- portionably productive there will be sufficient to dispose of so as to make the potatoe general." At the general annual meeting of the Commis- sioners of the Devizes Turnpike Roads, held on Monday se'nnight, the accounts produced shewed tbe Trust to he in the most flourishing state : all bills, interest, & c. up to Michaelmas had been paid, and a reduction in the debt of nearly £ 1000 was made in the course of the last year. Resolu- tions were passed at this meeting for the imme- diately paying off upwards of £ 2000 more; and for reducing the rate of interest on the remaining securities from jive to four per cent, or paying off the principal to such holders of securities as may dissent from the reduction. Sums amounting to more than the whole of the debt, were offered at four per cent, for this purpose. The Tolls were let at a former meeting at an advance of £ 450 beyond the rent of the last year. nave lately^ liRilff conspicuous object, not only of the Ionian, bat of all the iEgean Sea. The generality of Greek authors describe its circumference as equal to 87 § of our miles. There are four nunneries upon the island, and above 300 private chapels; yet the population does not excecd 12,000 men, which is explained by Tournefurt, who says that the island is entirely in the hands of churchmen, possessing seven monasteries.— The swarm of Caloyers and Greek Papas has made a desert place of this fine island, where all the qualification necessary to become a priest, and live by the industry of others, is the talent of being able to repeat mass from memory. The Bishop of Samos, who is also Bishop of Nicaria, enjoys an annual income of 2000 crowns, and derives, besides, a considerable revenue from the important services he renders to the islanders, iu blessing for them their water and their cattle, in ihe beginning of May: all the prod uce ot the dairieS on that day belongs to him : he has also two beasts out of every herd. In such a state of afl'airs, we cannot wonder at the change that has taken pldce between the ancient ami modern population of Samoa : its fertility in former ages til ad e it ( he subject of proverbial admiration.

At Bristol Quarter Session, James Rutherford, John Jenkins, James Leslie, and William Hale, a well- known gang of thieves; were convicted of rob- bing Miss Eliza Lousia O'Conner, in Tyndal's park; on the - 28th September, and were sentenced to be transported for life. On sentence being- pronounced, Rutherford asked if the witnesses, who, he said, had all perjured themselves, were to hare their ears cut off* As the prisoners left the bar, Ihev gave three cheers !

A SINGULAR CLSTOM —- A singular custom i » observed at conferring Ihe freedom of the burgh of Selkirk. Four or five bristles, such as are used by shoemakers, are attached to the sedl of the burgess ticket. These Ihe new. made burgess must dip in his wine, in token of respect for the " Souters of Selkirk," This ceremony is bn no account dis- pensed with. The ancient and i- eceived tradition! affirms, that the Souters of Selkirk distinguished themselves in Ihe battle of Flodden, 80 in number, and headed by their town- clerk they joined their Monarch on his entrance into England. James, pleased with the appearance of this gallant troop, knighted the leader, Wm. Undone, tipon the field of battle, from which few of the men of Selkirk were destined to return. They distinguished themselves in Ihe conflict, and were almost all slain. The few survivors, 011 their return In, me; found, by the side of Lady- wood Edge, the corpse of a female, wife to one of their fellow- comrades, with a child sucking at her breast. " In memory of this latter event," continues the tradition, " the present arms of the burgh bear a female holding it child in her arms, and seated on a sarcophagus decorated with a Scottish lion."

A man at an ordinary had F- ateii so enormously, that the tom'pany were astonished and disgusted with Ills gluttony. The Gentleman at the bead of the table ironically pressed him to take another1 plateful!, observing that he had actually eateu nothing. The gourmand declined taking any more, observing that his stomach was quite gone ; upoi! which an Irishman opposite exclaimed, " Is it your stomach that's gone, my honey; sure you mean the bottom part of it!" A writer, who draws his inferences from official returns, maintains that the average growth of com in this country, notwithstanding the great increase of cultivation, is not equal lo the consumption; that the great WopS of 1819, 1820, and 1821, and the stock iu hand from Ihe very large importations previous lo February, 1810, had created an accu- mulation of surplus stock; that this accumulation! has been gradually disposed of, and that the quantity ill hand is now very small indeed. This conclusion is certainty strengthened by the late rise in prices'; eien oals, notwithstanding the recent importations ( to the amount of 356,000 quarters) have advanced. WANSTEAD HOUSE.— The proceeds of the sale of this princely mansion and its furniture, & c. have been greater than was expected by the creditors of its owner, Mr. Long Wellesley, who are now re- ceiving 10s, in the pound, and arc in expectation of a further dividend of 5s. in Ihe course of a month or two. Some of Ihe creditors, we are inclined to think, would be well paid by half- a crown in Ihe pound, as may be collected from the amounls of some of their charges. The veterinary Surgeon is a claimant for £ 1400, and a fishmonger for £ 700 - as a proof of the extreme modesty of Ihe latter, we shall merely mention that mackarel are charged per pair one guinea and a half, nor is this item put out of countenance by the others. ANECDOTE OF BACON, TUE SCULPTOR.. Bacon was remarkably neat in his dress, and, accord- ing to the costume of Ihe old school, wore, in fine weather, a powdered wig, nifties, silver buckles, white silk stockings, & c. and walked wilh fit's golden headed cane. Thus attired, he one day called at St. Paul's, shortly after having erected the statue of Ihe benevolent Howard, and before Ihe hoarding which enclosed Ihe sialue was removed. One of his sons was employed at this lime in finishing the statue. After remaining here a short time, he complained of feeling somewhat cold ; on which the son proposed, as no one could overlook them, that lie should put on, as a kind of temporary spencer, an old, torn, green shag waistcoat, wilh red stuff back, which had~ beeii left there by one of ihe workmen, lie said it was " a good thought," and accordingly buttoned the waistcoat over his handsome new " coat. Shortly afterwards he was missing, but returned in about an hour, stating- that he had oeeu to call on a gentleman in Doctors' Commons, and had sat chatting with bis wife and daughters, who he had never seen before • that he found them to be exceedingly pleasant women, though perhaps a little too much disposed to laugh and titter about he knew not what. " Sir," said iiis son, « > I am afraid I can explain their mysterious behaviour— surely you have not kept on that waist- coat all this time ?" " But as sure as I am a living- man, 1 have," said he, laughing heartily, " and I can now account not only for ihe strange'behaviour of llie ladies, but for all ihe jokes thai have been cracked about me as I walked along the street, some persons hooting, others crying 1 let him alone, he does it for a wager,' & c. alt which, from being quite unconscious of my appearance, I thought was levelled at some other quiz that might be following near me : and I now recollect that whenever i looked around to discover the object of their pleasantrv, the people laughed, and the more so, as, by the" mere force of sympathy, I laughed also, although I could not imagine what it all meant." Il is calculated that not less than 50,000 horses, employed in carrying merchandize and produce from Siberia into Russia, perish yearly, through fatigue, cold, hunger, and being over- laden.
