Dr. JAMES'S Analeptic Pills AVE long established their decided Superiority over every other Medicine hitherto discovered for the Cure of'Colds, Rheumatic Attacks, Slight Fevers, and indeed all Disorders arising from obstructed Pt- rspiration, of such frequent Occurrence in our changeable Climate. Persons travelling find them most beneficial, as they are so mild in their Effects as not to require any Confinement. From the Der'angement of the Digestive Organs, Bilious and Nervous Disorders arise, aud the consequent Result is Head- ache, Nausea, Defective Appeti'e, Giddiness, and Gouty Symptoms; in these Cases the Analeptic Pills afford constant Relief, restoring by Degrees the Functions of the Stomach and Bowels. The genuine Dr. James's Analeptic Pills have tlie Name u F. Ncivbcrr/" engraved iu the Government Stamp. This must be observed, as Imitations are very general. Messrs. NEWBERY continue to prepare Dr. James's Analeptic Pills from the only Recipe existing under Dr. Jameses Hand, and they are sold bv them at the.

Ten of the pirates who murdered Capt. Under- wood, of the CSeorge Angus, were executed at Jamaica on 24th August. They all behaved decently at the place of execution, except A. Hernandez, a coloured Spaniard, who stood on the platform, careless of the past, deriding the present, and heedless of the future; his last words were to the executioner, whom he cursed as he drew the cap over his eyes, saying to him, " go to hell." The following day seven more of the wrctches who murdered Lieut. Loyman, Midshipman Strode, and four sailors, on the Isle of Pines, and who murdered Capt. Whitaker, of the Endeavour, were Executed. On 3d April, Capt. Powell, of the Rambler, and four of his crew, were massacred on the island of Vavao, one of the Friendly Islands. It appears, that while the Rambler was cruising off that island, four black men and an apprentice ran away into the island. Capt. Powell demanded their restoration from the King or Chief,' but was re- fused; he offered a ransom for the apprentice, which was also refused ; upon this he fired three guns on shore, and the next day had the temerity to go on shore with six of his crew, when a body White Horse and Castle Inns, Wem; from Mr. mv, „ „,. uwu WHYE!'

REFORM ERS.— A meeting of about 150 persona, calling themselves" Friends of Trial by Jury, mid also Friends of Parliamentary Reform," took place at the Crown anil Anchor Tavern, London, on llie 4th insl. to commemorate the acquittal of Home Tooke and others, who were tried for High Treason in 171) 4. The celebrated Mr. Tbelwall was in ilie chair, anil oil his proposing Ihe health of Mr. Hardy, the latter individual declared that ihe origin commenced in 1792, was only for the purpose of procuring a Reform iu Parliament.— T he Chair- man afterwards announced that Mr. F. Place, of Charing Cross, was engaged in writing a Htslory of the Corresponding Society. i IMPROVEMENTS oil the GROSVENOR ESTATE. — Knightsbridge, on the south side, now presents one of the. finest rows of edifices in the western outlet of the metropolis, which modern improve- ments have brought to light. In the rear, streets and squares are marked out. StLK TRADE.— The Silk trade has been in. creasing ever since the last new measures respecting it were adopted, and has now arrived at a degree of prosperity unkuown fur many years preceding. It was predicted, on the adoption ol the new legis- lative provisions, that the time was not far distant when English manufacturers would be able to sur- pass those of France in that commodity where it was before supposed that rivalry was out of the ques- tion ; there existed, it was felt, nothing but the injudicious system of duties to prevent our su- periority over our neighbours taking place long before. In abundance of capital, union of capi- talists, ingenuity of artists, and security of pro. pcrtv, there can be no comparison. England is shortly lo reap the advantage of emigrations of French manufacturers, some of tliern of the first class: one has already arrived, and has formed a partnership; assistance is proffered from one of the first capitalists of Ihe city ; and large manufao lories are erecting ill Norwich and Manchester — Combinations have been the cause why manufac- turers have travelled in so singular a manner from one part of the country lo the other. The silk trade was formerly almost exclusively confined to London, till the SpilalfU- lds Acls and secret com- binations of the weavers drove il into the North. The Woollen trade was carried on principally in the West of England, but Ihe laws made for its protection, and the combination and insolence of the woollen weavers, caused manufacturers to re- sort to cheaper pai ls of the country. The colton trade for a length of time was confined to Man- chester and ils immediate neighbourhood, but the advantages taken by the weavers al various periods when trade has been brisk, have gradually driven much of that branch of manufacture lo Ihe North and lo Scotland. And the like causes are ap- parently driving it from thence to Ireland. STEAM NAVIGATION — The advantages of steam navigation are extending themselves daily in every part of Europe. A plan lias jost been formed for establishing a regular communication by steam- called DDOLWEN, situate iu the Parish of Llanfawr, boats on the great canal of the Two Seas, in the in the said County, consisting of 65 Acres or there- Soul a bouts ( be. the same more or less) of inclosed Lauds, with a Sheepwalk capable of supporting about Two Hundred and Fifty Sheep, in the Occupation of the said Mr. David Edwards, or his Undertenant.

Pectoral Essence of Coltsfoot. Herh Coltsfoot has long been dis- JL tinguislie'd for its excellent Properties in the Cure of Coughs and other Pulmonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the Course of a long Prac- tice, been found the most safe and effectual Remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives Liberty of Breathing, without any Danger of taking Cold, and thus it affords great Relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the Tickling which p: ovok frequent Coughing, cleanses the small Glands, re- laxes the Fibres, and thereby enlarges the Cavities of the Vessels — Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals Rawness aud Soreness of the Chest. This Pectoral Essence is prepared by JAMES RYAN Surgeon, in Bristol; and Sold in Boitles at 3s 6d each, by F. NEWBERY and SONS, 45, St. Paul': Church Yard; and, by their Appointment, in mofct Country Towns. South of France. As the boats with lateral wheels, in common use, would present numerous difficulties iu canal navigation, a new kind of boat, with a single wheel in the stern, has been invented by Messrs. Ayuard, of Lyons, a specimen of which is now in operation on the Seine, near Paris. Similar boats, it is said, are building at Lyons for the navigation of tiie Rhone; and it is asserted that they are equally powerful, cheaper in construction, and consume less fuel than boats of the common shape. A Society is forming at Toulouse, with a capital of a million of francs, in shares of 1000 francs each. They propose to establish four boats for passengers, and six for heavy goods, the former to go at the rate of 7000 toises ( nearly English miles) an hour with a burthen of 1200 quintals; the latter at the rate of 4000 toises ( upwards of 4j miles) with a burthen of 1800 quintals.

The four first Lots are very desirable* Farms, consisting of Arable, Meadow, and Pasture Land, capable of considerable Improvement, and princi- pally adjoin and lie contiguous to the Turnpike Road leading from the Post and Market Town of Bala to the flourishing Village of Ffestiniog, and the Slate Quarries, nearly Midway ; are in the Vicinity of fine Lakes for" Trout Fishing, and the very extensive Sheepwaiks anil Hills appertaining thereto respectively abound with Grouse, and al- ways insure excellent Diversion to the Sportsman. — The Buildings on these Farms are generally in good Teunnfable Repair, and the Lands free of Tythe. Hay.— Upon Lot 5 there is a neat convenient Dwelling House, with a Plantation at the Back, making il a desirable Residence for a small genteel Family, being only about a Mile and a Half from the Town of Bala. The Farm Buildings are in good Order, and the Lands are free of Hav- Tvthe. N. B. The Tenants will shew their respective Farms; and further Particulars may be known by Application to Mr. JoHn JONES, of Hafod, nea'r Corwen : or ut th © Oftce of Mr. ArtWYL, Solicitor Bala. venienees. The chimney will be capable of being inclined in any direction so as to diminish the an- noyance of the smoke. The wheel will be eight feet in diameter, aud six feet broad, drawing about 14 inches ot water, aud moving with a velocity of from 10 to20 revolutions in a minute. The boilers arc to be of wrought iron reduced from half an • inch to a quarter iu thickness, to prevent any danger of .. explosion. It is calculated that the light steam- boats will run from Toulouse to Bezieres, 133 miles by the Canal, in 32 hours, allowing seven minutes each for the passage of 78 locks. The present passage boats take 78 hours for the same distance. The value of the steam engine to this country may be estimated from calculations, which show that the steam engines in England represent the power of 320,000 horses, which is equal to that of 1,926,000 men ; which being in fact managed by 36,000 men only, add actually to the power of our population 1,834,000 men. POPULATION OF GUKKCE.— The actual popu. lation of Greece, according to ihe most exact caU culations, and taking a middle estimate between the different valuations which have been mad<-, amounts to four millions. Half live on terra \ firma ; a million iu the Morea and Negropont ; and a million iu the isles. This population, it is true, is composed of Creeks, Turks, Albanians, Jews, and Franks ; but it may be with certainty calculated that the true Greeks compose three quarters of it; and in adding to them those who live in Asia, European Turkey, Russia, aud G » r main, the total population of the Greeks may still, without exaggeration, be rated at four millions. The population of aucicni Greece was not mote numerous. POSTSCRIPT. loKuoy, Monday JV'tght, Aov. 15, 1824. PRICES OP FUNDS AT THE CLOSE. Roil. 3 per ( lis. 05 per Ct.

Carrick- on- Shannon was disturbed by tbe Unman Catholic party ; when it. was agreed that the propriety of disseminating the Bible should be discussed by hotli parties ou a future day.— The discussion took place in the County Grand Jury Boom, on Tuesday, when three Clergymen of tlie Church of England argued ihe matter against three Roman Catholic Priests.— The Rev. W. IJrwick, Ihe Minister of the Independent Congregation at Sligo, was lo have formed one of the disputants " ti behalf of the Bible Society, but the Roman Catholic P. iests objected to him, because he was not a Church. of England Clergyman.— Mr. I, 1 rwick at once withdrew him- self, in avoid disputes about such a frivolous objec- tion. His place was ably filled by a regular Cler- gyman ; and it is stated that the cause of Protestant- ism and Bible Societies had a decided triumph. NORTH WF. ST EXPKHITION.— Captain Lyon, of his Majesty's ship Griper, arrived unexpectedly at the Admiralty on Thursday morning. His return has been partly occasioned by his having been unable to get iiilo Repulse Bay, though lie got oil' the cntniuce of Wager River. The Griper had experienced the most extraordinary continuance of bad weather ever remembered by any seaman on board They had had but five fair days during the w hole voyage, and one of the live was Monday last. They have lost all their anchors, and their boals wei- eall stnve in. Happily, however, noliveshave been lost. The ship suffered dreadfully; sue was once na shore, and suffered damage iu her bottom. The Griper was to have wintered in Repulse Bay, and to have dispatched, in the. ensuing summer, an overland expedition, to endeavour to meet Captain Parry. — The following is an account of the arrival of Captain Lyon at Portsmouth, with some fiirtbei particulars : — " Portsmouth, Nov. 10. " This morning arrived, and ran into harbmi direct from sea, his Majesty's guii- brig Griper, Captain Lyon, one of the ships employed on the North- west expedition, having been obliged to abandon the object for the present season, from having lost all her anchors and cables, and dis covered that she is unfit for the service, beinj totally unequal to beat oti'a lee shore. The Griper was obliged to leave Repulse Bay six weeks since, and after groping her out of 900 milrs of tbe most difficult navigation that can he imagined, iu the worst of weather, she met with a w esterly gale of wind, which drove her a considerable way into Davis's Straits. Fortunately, a change of wind, with more moderate weather, succeeded, when, from the bad state of the vessel, and the losses she had experienced, there appeared no alternative but making a somberly voyage home. She came sight, ibis morning, at about 11 A. M. with the signal flying, " Lost all the anchors and cab! and continued to stand in fur the harbour, which she fortunately entered, and ran into smooth water, where she was brought up with her disabled stream anchor.— Tlie news the Griper brings of Captain Parry's part of the expedition is favourable, as far as it goes. That experienced officer had reached Int. 71, nil well, and wiih the most favourable weaiher for his farther progress. It was the design of Captain Parrv to endeavour lo communicate with Captain Lyon by means of the Prince Regent's inlet, and his conjectures with respect lo th natural facilities and the practicability of doing so appear to be well founded. The tempestuous state of the weather, and the incapacity of the Griper for the service, prevented him from reaching the extreme points of Repulse Bay, and consequently, from attempting to open a communication wilh Captain Parrv by Melville Peninsula."

MOST AFFLICTING OCCIJIUIF. NCE.— On Sun day afternoon last, about two o'clock, a little girl nniued Harwood, fell into the river Severn from the foot- path below the Welsh Bridge on the I'rankwell side. A young man, named John Manscll, son of Mr. Mull sell, of The Bell, in this town, walking- near the spot, observed ilie accident; he was a good swimmer, and jumped iu without taking his coat or other garments otl; he succeeded in pushing the child so near tbe shore, that, by going into the water and linking- their bauds, two persons who were present succeeded in taking her out. John Mansell himself was in Ihe deeper partof the stream ( Ihe river being bank full), and unfortunately be- came entangled by the water and wind ( which then blew very fresh) wrapping his coat about him ; the consequence was, that in this meritorious effort to save the life of a fellow creature, he lost his own, being overwhelmed in the merciless element; leav- ing a wife ( who had just lain in) and two children, to deplore bis untimely and most distressing fate.— A subscription, headed by tlie Hon. and Right Worshipful the Mayor, has been commenced, for the assistance of his widow and helpless children ; and we beg to direct the attention of our readers and ihe public to the advertisement, iu the full persuasion that a case so peculiarly deserving- the consideration of the benevolent will receive the most liberal testimonies of general sympathy. FRANK- WELL.— We are happy lo hear that ihe respectable inhabitants of this part of the town have entered into a spirited subscription for its improvement, which commenced yesterday, and when completed will place tbe public thoroughfare and footways out of the reach of those high floods which annually occasion so muirh inconvenience.— II is also their intention to revive the Court Leet of the Township, which, when properly conducted, will, they have no doubt, be of essential service, and enable them to excise every power they would desire full as well as by the more expensive mode of applying to Parliament. A little boy, named Tudor, 4 years old, was so dreadfully burnt, yesterday morning; by bis clothes taking fire during the abseuce of its: nipther ( who had gone to put some clothes to dr^ Jy that not- withstanding every medical aid lie died last night. FIRE.— VVe regret to state, that, notwithstand- ing every assistance was given by the neighbours, & c. the fire which broke out in the outbuildings at Mrs. Jellicoe's, of Bictou, on Tuesday night, as noticed in our last, destroyed the stables and cow- house, and that a cow mid a fat pig were consumed therein.

FATAL X4CCIDTNT.— An accident.~ of the most distressing nature occurred at Bang- or Ferry, < the morning of Friday, the 5th instant, by which David Jones, for many years well . knovyn and. much respected as one of the drivers of. the. Shrewsbury Mail between Corwen and Bang- o; r Ferry, met with his death. The circumstances, as fa.}', as ' t will be it present proper to enter upon them,;, a. re briefly these-.'— VV. Jones, Esq. son of the. Rev. H. Jones, of 7' y- coch, near Carnarvon, having gone with the carriage to Bangor, for the purpose of taking a friend who was going with the up London Mail, expecting a parcel from London, waited for the arrival of the coach until it came in at the usual time— one, A. M. On its arrival, however, some misapprehension occurred, and Mr. W. Jones ordered his carriage to be driven after the mail to the Ferry, where there were two or three parcels for Carnarvon, which Mr. W. Jones ( knowing the parties) undertook to carry, and for that purpose had possession of them. A misunderstanding, however, happened, relative to the charge due upon one of them, and unfortunately the deceased, in attempting to stop the carriage, . was either thrown or fell down, and unhappily survived but a short period after he was picked up. A Coroner's Jury was summoned, and a verdict of manslaughter returned against Mr. W. Jones and the Coachman. — Neither have as yet been apprehended, and it is supposed they will keep out of the way until the Assizes, when they will render themselves up to take their trial. It may be well supposed that the melancholy accident caused the most heartfelt dis- tress to the amiable and much- respected family of Tv- coch, which was, if possible, aggravated by the consideration that the unfortunate deceased left a wife and family to deplore his death.— it is a sub- ject much to be regretted, that upon these melan- choly occasions some fit and proper persons are not appointed to act as Constables: for, however incredible it may appear, yet it is no less true, that some of the Bangor Constables, acting under the Coroner's warrant after the verdict of manslaughter had been returned, came to Carnarvon in a beastly » tate of drunkenness, Sc conducted themselves in and about the mansion of Ty- coeh with a degree of coarse brutality more suitable to a set of drunken tinkers than to peace officers in the execution of their duty; and it is sincerely to be hoped, that such steps will be adopted as will prevent the, parties having it in their power, under a cloak of authority, at any future time, to be guilty of such si> am'efiil and dis- gustingproceedings.— Chester Chrbtiifrlel The Anniversary Meeting of the Flintshire Auxiliary Bible Society took place in the Shire Hall, Mold, on the 4th instant ; R. J. Most^ n, Esq the High Sheriff of the county, in the chair.— The amount remitted to the Parent Society . by this auxiliary, since its formation, is £ 2273. The site for Sir Thomas Pic ton's monument is now definitively settled, and a number of labourers are employed in widening- the road near it. The spot fixed upon is the summit of a hill callcd Pen llwyn- y- witch, about 100 yards beyond the western extremity of Carmarthen, on the high road, and which commands an exteusive prospect in every direction.

VERY many Accidents having yearly occurred from Persons falling into the" Water in the Vicinity of this Town, and many Lives having been undoubtedly lost for Want of prompt Assist- ance ; it is the Wish of tbe Inhabitants that a Hnmane Society should be established. As ihere can be no Doubt that every Inhabitant will contri bote according to their Means, it is wished to confine the Annual Subscriptions to Inhabitants within the United Parishes; as, by receiving small Amounts as Subscriptions, the Number interested in the Welfare of the Society will he increased, and the Detection of any Imposition which may be practised almost certain. As there are many Philanthropic Individual, resident ill the County, who may wish to contribute to so laudable an Institution, they are respectfully informed that any Donation will be thankfully re- ceived, as the Expenditure in the first Year must be very considerably greater than in succeeding- ones. Until the Amount of Subscriptions can he neai- lv ascertained, no specific Plan fur the conducting of such a Society can be given ; but a Meeting will be called of the Subscribers to appoint a Committee and by their Arrangements it is hoped many Liv will be saved. Collections will be made from House to House in every Parish.— Any Gentlemen who are public- spirited enough to assist in making such Collection, will oblige by signifying the same to Mr. WHITNEY, who will also receive Subscriptions.

WYLE COP, 15TH NOV. 1824. SiRj— It was not my intention, until last night, to have as yet inserted the above Advertisement. Circumstances, which I am sorry to occupy you columns vfrithj oblig- e me to g- ive some reasons for now doing- it. From the several lamentable acci- dents that had lately occurred in this town, I was sensible of the want of a Humane Society. Feeling- confident that it did not proceed from disinclination on the part of the inhabitants to contribute towards one ( in which I have not been disappointed), I acquainted the Itev. Dr. BUTLER with my willing- ness to endeavour to obtain the names of a few respeciable inhabitants, as a sanction for a g'eneral Collection for such purpose to be made from house to house in the six United Parishes $ at the same time saying- I would so collect in the parish in which I myself resided, stating- also my wish to limit the amount of individual Subscriptions to One Guiuea, for which I gave such reasons as would be too long- to trouble you with. Dr. BUTLER imme- diately said he would subscribe such a sum ; and that, as it was so, limited, he would make n dona- tion of Five Guineas. I obtained also the sanction of the above- named Gentlemen, and uniformly met with the greatest politeness. With only three ex- ceptions, the money was offered by each subscriber, which 1 invariably declined accepting, unless a wish was expressed that I should do so to avoid farther trouble.— I considered the number of names I had obtained a sufficient authority for soliciting- Subscriptions generally, and have been waiting for the complete arrangement of Collectors in each parish to commence regularly in my own. In the trouble I was taking I thought I was disinterested ; but I am sorry to say that at least one individual has thought proper to make some insinuations of such a tendency as oblige me to come forward in the way I now have. VVere I not an almost total stranger I would have treated them with silence, shall avoid stronger language, as, from the RADNORSHIRE FAHBIS. TO BE LET, And entered upon at Lady- Dai/ next, ALL that very desirable Tithe- free FARM, called ABBEY CWM Hill, contain- ing about Eleven Hundred Acres of good Arable, Meadow, and Pasture Land, all within a Ring j Fence, with Cottages for Workmen, situate 111 the [ tortile Vale of Cwm Hir, in the Parish of Llanhister, I in the County of Radnor, and within convenient | Distances of the Market Towns of Newtown, Llan- idloes, and Rhayader, with valuable and extensive | Sheepwalks, partly adjoining and partly detached | situate in the several Parishes of Llanbister and Llananuo. A Modus of Thirteen Shillings per : Annum is paid in lieu of Tithe,— It is proposed to I divide the above into two Farms, and to erect a I Dwelling House near the present farm Buildings | at the VVenalt. b Also, CEFNPAWL FARM, adjoining the above, containing upwards of Five Hundred Acres of good Arable, Meadow, and Pasture Land, within a Ring Fence, with a valuable Sheepwaik adjoining, and Cottages for Workmen.— This Farm has lately un- dergone considerable Improvements in Building, Fencing, Draining, Stc. having been two Years in the Occupation of the Proprietor, and is onlv sub- ject to Hair Tithe or One- Twentieth Part of the Produce ; the Poor Rates are also equally moderate. About Six Hundred very good Sheep may be had ( with the Farm) at a fail- Valuation. The whole of the Arable Laud on these Farms is well adapted for the Turnip System of Cultivation, and a great Quantity of excellent Manure, consist- ing chiefly of Lime and Sandy Loam, may be had from the Abbey Ruins.

It was my wish to have immediately declined all further interference, hilt from which I have been deterred by the advice of niv friends. My intentions will be best explained by a reference to the adver- tisement.— It is, perhaps, necessary for me to say that the Subscriptions I have received were placed in Messrs. BECK and EATON'S Bank, in the name of the Society, on the 16th of September, 1821.— I shall he most happy to withhold any farther interference should it be the wish of any one of the individuals who have favoured me with their names that I should do so. At the time I first endeavoured to promote the formation of such an establishment I was totally ignorant that such a one had ever existed in this town, or that any individual was in the most distant way interesting- himself in the formation of one ; but am happy to say that 1 have been cheerfully met by Messrs. EDDOWES and Mr. WATTON, who will willingly receive tbe names of any persons who may wish to contribute towards it. I am, SIR, yours, & c. JAMES WHITNEY J. & J. SIV.

SIR,— In your Paper of Wednesday last, I read a violent attack in reference to the Catholic Question. That it is a question of tbe greatest importance I will allow, but that it stands on very different foundation to what it did in the days of Mary is very certain ; and. so great is the advance of liberal opinion with respect to religion, as to make that man a true bigot who would object lo granting them the most unbounded religions' toleration'. Such, I am happy to say, is the general opinion of this kingdom, excepting among a few such indivi- duals as your Protestant correspondent, who, I strongly suspect, would be no more w illing to lay down his life in the defence of Protestantism than any other individual. That is much easier talked of than done, and evidently vyas the fireside cogita- tion of an interested or mercenary hireling, who hides his head- under the cover of your responi bility. Allow me. to recommend him, through the medium of your Paper, to mind his own business, and to concern himself with affairs on which he is better acquainted. A LIBERAL PROTESTANT. To be Sold by Private Contrail, LL that MESSUAGE, Tenement, or Dwelling House, with several Pieces or Parcels of Arable, Meadow, and Pasture LAND, now in Ihe Occupation of Mr. Robert Lloyd, his Undertenants, or Assigus, situate in and near to the pleasant Village of LLANSAINTFRAID, in the County of Montgomery, and containing together by Admeasurement 22 A. 2R. 36P. be the same more or less.

IRELAND Catholic Finance Committee met in Dublin on the 3( 1 instant, when a number of subscriptions was announced, as Rent received, from the £ 23d of October last, the whole of which amounted to £ 213. 10s. 4d. Part of it was from Liverpool.—- A letter from Edward Blount, Esq. of London, dated the 1st instant, was read, containing the following doeu ment:— u Alan open Meeting- of the Committee of the British Catholic Association held yesterday, at the Freemasons* Tavern, the following Minutes of the proceedings of the 26th August last were read from the Chair:— Resolved^ That the Committee of tlie British Catholic Association, having observed from the public papers, that the Irish Catholics are desir- ous of establishing a mutual communication, do em- brace this fir* t opportunity of expressing their anxious desire to meet, with corresponding feelings, the disposition evinced by their brethren in Ireland., and will unite all efforts for the advancement of the common cause."— It was then moved by the Rev. Dr Collins, and seconded by John Prosper, Esq. " That the Secretary be requested to convey our thanks to the Irish Catholic Association, for their devoted zeal and successful etforts— and that he communicate with them, for ihe purpose of ascertaining- in what man ner the Catholics, in both parts of the kingdom, may best co- operate to effect their common object."— Various other letters, some, from Protestants, written in the most animating terms,, were read. Three Catholic Peers had already sent large subscriptions, Mr. O'Connell said, viz. Lords Ken ma re, Oormaqs- town, and Netterville— and of the bodyjto which they belonged a few had- not subscribed ; these were Lords Fingal, Southwell, and the Hon. Mr. Nugent, commonly called Lord Riverston. lie would give notice of a motion, that all the Catholic P'' ers he ad- mitted Members of the Association. They had al- ready admitted the Catholic Clergy, and yet they found that that did not lessen the subscriptions, for every one of these gentlemen had regularly paid their admission. ( Applause.)— Mr. O'Connell also reported, that £ 16. 16s. of the rent for the week was furnished by f rotestaut Gentlemen and subscribers ; and, as Secretary to that fund, he* reported, that, for this week, it amounted to £ 517. 1,9s. 7d. ( three dis- tinct rounds of loud and long- continued applause.)— The Rev. Mr. L" 1 Estrange moved for the appointment of a Burial Ground Committee. Carried unanimous- world— we must be as economical as jSossible ; bn't it is not possible to make you any offer whielt would be inconsistent with your'rank, station, and talents or with the dignity of the body which you are to represent. - £ We request that you will c'n'ggest to lis what i is we ought to offer. Your suggest ion must be laid before the Association, because no money can be voted except at u public meeting and upon notice/' [ FROM TJVB ST. JAMES'S CHRONICLE.] The DUbl in " Catholic Association" has honoured anil consoled us by an intimation to its new'lv ap- pointed Loudon Agent, thai he is not to notice ihe mere paltry vehicles of ealiiuiny, such as ihe i'f. James's Chronicle, or other minor publications^ which are ihe mere echoes of the vile Orange press of Ireland:" We are of I angrv at expres- sions of contempt, which can deceive nobody. Did not the Association fear us they would not noiice us • and fearing us, they certainly cannot pietend to despise us. As ihe v have gi ven us this Opportunity, however, we shall whisper a wontoriwo of advh'e to these gentlemen, which, as they aie adventurinte into the tiehl of periodical litcratfri'e, may be of use to I. They need not fear that we are so unrea- sonable as lo require any literary excellence ;— lhat is not necpssary. There is the Pi/ gmqlion of Ihe Edinburgh Review, who has been 30 years " a celebrated criiic," who sneers at The SI. James's Chronicle and Sir Walter Scott, and yet can mil write three sentences of good English, who'makes a trireme Ihe maximum of Roman naval architecture, and equips the aforesaid Roman trireme with squibs and artillery. Such a brilliant example of successful ignorance and stupidity forbids As to exact from the Irish aspirants for success iu our craft any thing akin to talent or genius— We would suggest to^ lhem, however, two habits, which, however uncongenial to their nature, they must labour to acquire before they can expect to make any serious impression in this country— A respect for truth, and some reo- ar to decency. To the value of these habits we can offer the testimony of our own experience, since, with little other pietension lo public favour, we hare ob- tained n patronage unrivalled by that of any oilier Evening Paper; and an influence before which ihe saucy coxcombs of " the Association" hnve learned lo tremble. By the way, we would ask these cox- combs lo explain somewhat more clearly ( lie nature of Mr. vEneas Macdonnell's sapervisorship of the London diurna!| Pre » s, as they foppishly call the daily journals. All Ihe daily journals are notoriously in iheir interest. The Courier, the appropriate repre- sentative of a trimming administration, has long de- serted the cause of the established Church. " Mr. jEneas Macdonnell, the newly appointed agent, has, for some years been confessedly ihe principal writer upon Irish affairs in that journal. We presume that it is not thought necessary lhat he should he paid for exercising n censorship over his own writing. The New Times is as warm an adherent lo ihe u an- cient faith" as becomes the ally of the Pope, the Bourbons, and the Inquisition. The Catholic Wliiu- Journals are of course Catholic, and if Mr. M'Donl nell's Censorship be confined to the daily journals, it will he uu absolute sinecure. . , „ _ i ly-— The Rev.

L. IIESSE. ttee of Reference for law eases. Car- ied unanimously.— Mr, O'ConneH, in reference to a salary to be allowed to Mr. Eneas M'Donnell, their Agent in London, said the duties of his situation were many and various ; he would have to contradict every calumny, however small ; he would have per- petually to watch, over the London diurnal Press, and now and aoain the Country Journals, which fre- quently teemed with libels on the conduct and con- dition of the Irish Catholics. The people of Ireland had had no such Agent hitherto. — Wherever they fixed for the future meetings of the Association in Dublin, it was thought they should have accom- modation for ladies.— Mr. Fitzsimon inquired what was the present number of Members of the Roman Catholic Association?— Mr. O'Connell answered, that there were two thousand members all over the island, but there would be scarcely more than three hundred at a time attending the Meeting.— The As- sociation adjourned io next Wednesday. The following letter of instruction to the Catholic Agent in London, was read by Mr, O'Connell at the meeting of the Association, in Dubliu, on Wednesday, the 3d instant. " Sir,— I beg leave io inform you that the Catholic Association have unanimously chosen you as their Agent in London. It is a very pleasing duty to trans- mit to you the intelligence, and to request, in the name of the Association, that you will accept the appointment. " It is right to inform you that the duties of such Agent are very numerous, and most important.— They will, it is believed, require constant attendance and undivided attention. They relate principally to the following subjects : — u ] st.~ To watch Carefully over the diurnal Press of London, and, as much as possible, over that of the provincial towns, in order immediately, and from authority, to contradict the various falsehoods which are circulated throughout . England respecting fh Catholic Clergy and laity of Ireland— to refute the calumnious imputations which are so frequently thrown out, even by those who call themselves political friends, against our religions tenets and principles — to explain what those, tenets aud princi- ples really and truly are— and to show tbe people of England that we have ever rejected, and do abhor any opinions inconsistent with pure morality, genuine loyalty, and sincere attachment to constitutional liberty. " In thus vindicating the character and relioious opinions of the Catholics of Ireland, you will not only be bound to superintend, our interests with re- lation to the daily Press, hut also to bestow much attention on the progress of unchristian ' slander, which the Quarteily Revieios, and other periodical publications, pour upon us. " We would not have you condescend to notice the mere paltry vehicles of calumny, such as the - ISI. Jameses Chronicle, or other minor publications, which are the mere echoes of the vile Orange Press of Ireland. " Secondly — It, will be your duty to open a com mnnication with the Catholic Association in Eng- land, by becoming a member of that body, and to transmit to them official and regular details of on proceedings; and it is desired that you will, in the first instance, aud as speedily as possible, communi- cate to them our determination to petition Parliament next Sessions, together with our respectful recom- mendation to them to adopt the same course. " Thirdfy— It will be necessary for you to enter into immediate communication with Sir Francis Burdett, and our other fiiends in Parliament, re- specting our views and wishes as to the management of our petitions during the next Sessions. So soon as we learn that yon have been pleased to accept our agency, we will transmit to you a copy of the general petition for emancipation, in order that you may transmit the same to Sir Francis Burdelt, and con- cert with him the best means of having that petti ion presented on the day of the next meeting of Par- liament. " Fourthly—- From the commencement to the ter- mination of the sittings of ' Parliament, it will be your duty to be in constant communication with all the Members of both Houses who mavhe favourable to our claims. Yon will have to give them accurate in- formation as to all important facts bearing on our ca « e— and to furnish explanatwns upon ail points of difficulty, that may occur in the progress of the de- bates— and in particular to discover the most useful manner of controverting the mistaken notions of the Members of Parliament respecting the Catholic re- ligion aud Catholic people. " Fifthly— You will he bound to keep up a con- stant correspondence with the Association, so as to act on all occasions of importance under the imme- diate sanction of the Association ; yet, it is not intended to deprive you of a fair discretion. In faet, it is fully believed that your agency there will be that community of sentiment and object, which wiil prevent the possibHity of any misapprehension or mistake* " There are many inore details, which your own judgment will at once suggest, and which we there- fore omit to mention, " This letter is written to you in order that you may appreciate the multiplicity, as well as the im- portance of the duties of the office of which we re- quest your acceptance— we are convinced of your capacity for the duties of that office. ". There remains a matter of some delicacy— it is to arrange the amount of the compensation to I? offered you. We beg to assure you, ibat if we were to address yon as individuals, we should refer, to yourself the amount of that compensation. It is painful for us to allude to it at all in u public docu- ment— but we are trustees of a public fund, obtained from the poorest aud most oppressed people in the SIR CHRISTOPHER PULLKR.— Bishop tfeber, iu his primary charge at Calcutta, May 27, 1824, noticed the death of the above individual in the following terms : " A few dhys only are gone, since, with animation in his benevolent countenance, he expressed to me his gratitude to God for many blessings which lie had received, and his desire to dedicate to him, through Jesus Christ, a large portion of his time, iiis means, and his influence. A few hours only are passed, since these good resolutions are gone thither, where they are best. known and appreciated by a gracious God, whom he had served from his yotttii, a.' id who, when the noon of bis life had scarce began to declinc, saw fit to call him to his recompenco and his repose. " In him India,— in him the Anglo- Indian church, — in him the cause of missions here, and throughout the world,— in him the poor of every caste, and of every country, have lost a fearless, a kind, a bounti- ful, and unpretending friend, But he will not have died in vain, if the consideration of his Sudden mor- tality shall iuduce us to ponder tire \ iorth of this world, in regions where the present moment is all which we can be said to hold of it, and shall so reach us to number onr. day^ that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Tuesday• night's Gazette announces the ap- pointment of Viscount. GrauviHe, at present Am- bassador at the Court of the Netherlands,, to be Ambassador to his Most Christian Majesty; and Sir Charles Bag'ot, at - present Am- bnssador art' St. Petersburg!*, to be Ambassador to the King of the Netherlands.

' Tis pleasant to wander on evening- so sweet, When earth wears the ensigns of peace, The heait throbs euamour'd, and triumphs to greet From the tuuiults of sorrow release: The cares that o'ershadow'd 6c threateu'd us cease, To leave an elysium behind ; And dreams of enchantment j unruffled, and smooth, That smiled in t he fanciful visions of youth, Revive in the eye of ihe mind.

EIGUID. The following; remarks on the exalted station of Our Couutiy are extracted from a recent number of the " New York Commercial Advertiser:"— " We were looking the other day at the map of Europe and glancing our eye at the coast of that mighty continent, it rested on the little spot which Englishmen, in their pride and security, have denominated the ' fast- anchored Isle. 1 A few reflections, like the glittering streaks of the morn- ing, shot through our minds, and we looked with astonishment and admiration upon the littie isle, so insignificant in itself, and yet so large in the scale of nations. Our nation h; ts been accustomed to frown upon Englishmen and to'detest their Govern- ment, and we do now some part, of it. But the time of this ignorance and this enmity has passed away, and left the mind free to take in, and to enlerrain, without jealousy or reproach, the. idea < if the great resources, the extensive influence, physical, moral, and intellectual, which have secured everlasting fame to England and to Eng- lishmen. In contemplating the ivonders embodied in the character of the people, we overlook the dark spots in their history, and forget the errors and crimes of their Government. We only see that England is our elder- born • that her people speak the same language, profess the same faith, are governed by the same laws, and have the same interest, in the support and predominance of free institutions and of civil liberty. Look at her, girt whhin a little compass by the stormy ocean; in size, to the nations of the Continent, like a drop in a'bucket-, in climate, nnpropitious • in soil, un- fruitful ; and yet her name is known, respected, and has its influence wherever cultivated men have penetrated the seas or the- earth. There is a mental and moral influence, no less than physical ; and indeed were it the latter only, tlie passage of a few ages would gradually obliterate her fame, instead of hallowing and adding to it. It is a mental superiority— it is the power of letters— it is the observation of the principles of eternal truth, which, more eminently than temporal p uver or extent of dominion, give prosperity to a nation aud endless glory to her name. 1' Si ale of Religion in England. A long but interesting and temperate article, entitled u The Church of England and the Dis- senters," appears in Blackwood's Magazine fur Ihe present month. We subjoin a few extracts: If we < f is sect the form of society in England, the operation throws a flood of light upon the secret of our liberty. In no other country in the world does it possess a frame so strong and so- perfect. Every inch, from its prodigious base to its towering and splendid apex, displays the most solid materials aud the most finished symmetry— the most accurate proportions of stone, cement, wood, iron, and gold — every thing save flaw and defect — nearly every- thing that can render a fabric everlasting, In most other countries, society presents scarcely any thing but a void between an ignorant labouring population, and a needy and profligate nobility ; its parts have but little connexion, are dispropor- tionate, and cannot balance and bind each other ; but with us the space between the ploughman and the peer is crammed with circle after circle, fitted i. i the most admirable manner for sitting upon each other, for connecting the former with the latter, and for . rendering'the whole perfect in cohesion, strength, and beauty. This multiplicity of classes has its natural attend- ants, a multiplicity of interests. We have a mighty shipping interest, a mighty mercantile interest, * a mighty trading interest, a mighty manufacturing- interest, a mighty monied interest, and a mighty agricultural interest. Most other nations have only two of these interests, which are disproportionate to, and cannot counterpoise, each other. To render the form of society still more perfect among us, it is iu addition composed of an infinity of distinct political and religious parties. The consequences are, that while every class, interest, and party, are powerful for good, they are impotent for mischief; each throughout the whole is effectually controlled and bound to the proper line by its fellows, if the lower orders be turbu- lent and rebellions, the rich are so numerous and powerful, that they can generally keep them in order by- moral weight and influence alone. Were the nobility to be animated with the worst, views, if could accomplish nothing against the rest of the community. The rich are. divided into numberless uiimixable classes, and the vast majority would always oppose any portion of them that might seek unjust aggrandisement. Every class, interest, and party, is without preponderance, and the hope of obtaining it. The nobility, the country gentlemen, the clergy, the agricultural, manufacturing, and other interests, the labouring classes, the thick and thin Tories, the thick and thin Whigs, the Saints, the Methodists, the Calvinists, & c. & e. are each more or less mighty in their sphere for obtaining their due, and for purposes of general defence, but they are impotent for offensive objects of their own. The Tories are by far the most powerful party in t'le land, and vet > hey are but a regiment to an army, when weighed against the rest of the com- munity. Whilst this is the case, society among us is pro- fusely supplied with ministers of religion, who teach a religion of feeling as well as form— of con- duct as well as opinion. Public morals are there- fore in an excellent state in every class ; conscience operates powerfully; in many of our parties tur- pitude is punished by the party without the aid of law ; and men cannot publicly offend against in- tegrity and good principles, without being- gibbet ted by public opinion. This multiplicity of classes, interests, and parties, and this flourishing state of public morals, consti fate, we think, a main source of our liberty and happiness. When we say this, we, however, admit that other things aid them most essentially in pro duclngbotk. They tend powerfully to give us the liberty of the immortal Burke :—" That state of things in which the liberty of no men, and no body of men, is in a condition to trespass on the liberty of any person, or any description of persons, in society." This, and this alone, constitutes liberty. If ever, by any moral earthquake, any one of our parties be enabled to preponderate over all the rest, and public morals be in a great degree destroyed, we may then, in spite of our laws and constitution, bid adieu to our freedom. The struggles of the minority, and the passions, interests, and lawless Hess of the majority, will combine, without any- thing to oppose them, to plunge us into the worst kind of slavery— that of a faction. We are free, not merely because the power of the sovereign is limited, hut because the power of party and faction is limited likewise. # # * * # So vitally connected as public morals are with general liberty, we are compelled to think that the Dissenters, by contributing- so greatly to the former, contribute very essentially to the political interests of the nation. They provide a vast additional number of religious teachers and places of worship, their discipline jealously watches the moral con- duct of every member, and punishes the most trifling irregularities of Ijfe, nna they operate prin eipally among the lower classes, over which the regular clergy have the least influence. A monopoly over the consciences of a whole nation, can scarcely fail of establishing ecclesias. tieal tyranny. This makes almost as w ide inroads on individual rights and liberty as civil tyranny, and it almost inevitably leads to if. A clergy has its worldly interests as " well as its spiritual duties ; it is but a* body of men, and, like all other bodies of men, it will ever strive to aggrandize itself to the utmost, and to render its authority as great as possible. To insure success it will even lay the greatest number of fetters upon its followers prac- ticable. Ecclesiastical tyranny and civil liberty ' tire natural enemies, and the former is never secure until it. renders— which it generally easily can do — the government despotic. Those who control the conscience cart commonly guide the actions ; reli- gious influence and authority can generally be con- verted into political influence and authority at pleasure. The zealous Churchmen, the Catholics, the Methodists, Calvinists, Unitarians, & c. almost to a man follow their ministers in politics. In truth, every religious creed links itself to a political one, and the adoption of the one is almost constantly the adoption of the other. The mass of men think but little even of interest when they are inflamed with party zeal, and led to believe that their escape from perdition depends on their obedience to reli- gious teachers. At this moment the great body of the Catholic laity in Ireland is, in submission to its church, fighting in the maddest manner against its ow n highest interests. if, therefore, a clergy possess exclusive control over a nation's conscience, it will possess over- whelming political influence in that nation ; its favour will be the first object of courtship iu the eyes of the civil lul. er ; it will be enabled to dictate to him in matters relating to its own interest; its command will be, establish despotism, and the com- mand will be too palatable to be obeyed with any thing but alacrity. Such a clergy will in reality possess the actual sovereignty, and it must render the civil ruler a despot, to be a despot itself. The continental governments were at one time almost all of them of a limited form. The Popish Church obtained a monopoly iu matters of religion, it then established ecclesiastical tyranny, it then obtained the chief portion of political power, and it then rendered the governments despotic. These things, we think, followed each other as matters of course, arid we doubt that the governments could have regained lasting arbitrary power, after being once deprived of it, by any other means. Every religious creed, as we have said, links itself to a political one. The minister* of each of our sects go in a body with their followers to one or another of our political parties, but they do not divide themselves between two. The regular clergy have powerful inducements to divide themselves between the Whigs and the Tories ; but still, though many of them support . the former, as a body they support the latter. With regard to their flocks, almost every zealous churchman, particularly in the classes below the upper ones, is a Tory. A body_ of religious teachers has generally a sufficiency of distinct political interests of its own, to render it reasonably unanimous in politics ; and, iu addition, religious unanimity, and the party bonds and spirit of a religious society, can scarcely fail in producing political unanimity. We therefore think, that if the dissenters did not exist, and the regular clergy possessed a virtual monopoly, one of our parties would preponderate over the rest of the community, a: id put our liberties, to say the least, in imminent danger. It. matters not though this might be the Tories, for parties are governed by anything rather than their principles, when they are flushed with conquest, and are irresistable. We, believe the cleigy to be as admirable a body as could be form- ed ; but still they are but men ; and we therefore think they would use monopoly as it has hitherto been always used by a clergy. As we think that society could not be sufficiently divided into ma- nageable bodies, and that dangerous preponderance could not be kept from one or another of them with- out the Dissenters, we of course think that on these points the Dissenters render most important politi- cal benefits to the nation. * * * # # What we have said in favour of the dissenting bodies, must be understood to apply to such of them ONLY as hold 110 religious principles hostile to Christianity, and no political ones hostile lo the Constitution. Stale of Religion in America. In consequence of an article which appeared in the Edinburgh lleview, the celebrated William Cobbett has addressed a letter to the conductors of that publication, from which the following are extracts. To THE EDINBURGH REVIEWERS. The state of America as to religion would seem to be u state of perfection in your eyes. " It is not all gold that glitters ;" it is very true, that the Govern- ment of the United Slates, and, generally, the State Government!! also, have acted with justice and with great wisdom in this respect, it is also true, that a man's religion is no bar to the pursuit of any lawful interest, or any object of ambition. As far as the Governments are concerned, and as far as public matters can possibly have anything to do with reli- gion, there is an impartial and perfect disregard of sects ; which perfect disregard on the part of the Governments produces an absence of all rivalship 011 this account. But, Gentlemen, there are still religious evils in the United States of America. None that Govern- ment can be said to be answerable for; but still they existf of w hich, indeed, there is evidence enough in the books, the review of which has called forth this article from yon. The country is overrun vvith wild fanatics and crafty knaves, disturbing the minds of the common people, and pocketing their money in exchange. The Government, cannot prevent this ; but surely it is a thing that one would w ish to see prevented; surely it would lie better if there were ONE RELIGION, and only one; and if all these innu- merable swarms of fanatics and knaves could find no food whereon to exist. We must allow, I think, that there will always he religion of some sort iu every country upon earth, as long as people continue to die. So long as this makes part of human nature, men will have a heaven lo hope for, and a hell to fear. This will be the constant habit of thinking of the great mass of man kind. There will be some few, and a very few indeed, to reason themselves out of these hopes and fears. There always have been a few of this descrip- tion amongst all the nations that we know any thing of. It is curious enough that every " infidel writer, that is to say, every unbelieving writer, appears to have the vanity lo think that he has made a discovery. Mr. Carlile and the Unitarians think that they have made a wonderful discovery. The former, indeed, gives to Monsieur Diderot the merit of discovering liiat there were tk three great impos- tors— Moses, Jesus Christ, aud Mahomet." The Unitarians are quite witty on their discovery, that u none but fools can suppose that Coo, the Creator of ns all, could he born of a Virgin." ' The vanity of these gentlemen will receive a little check, when they are told that these discoveries were made, at the very least, seven hundred years ago. One of the charges of Pope Gregory the Nintli against the Emperor Frederick Ihe Second, was expressed in these words: u He has said that the whole world had been deceived bv three famous impostors, Moses, Jesus Christ, and Mahomet.; still putting Jesus Christ, crucified, beneath the tw others who died with honour, he has, besides, dared to say, that uone but fools can believe thai GOD, the creator of every thing, could be born of a virgin ; that man could he born otherwise than by an union of ihe sexes ; and that nothing ought to be believed w hich was not agreeable to natural reason." Upon this charge, together with others, ihe Pope attacked the Emperor with all the thunders of tlie Church, and in a short time he compelled him to recant, to publish his profession of faith, and to talk of JESUS CHRIST, Moses, and Mahomet, as a Christian ought to talk. So that, al any rate, the doctrine of the conceited Unitarians has not novelty to recommend it, and Monsieur Diderot was a plagiarist from the Emperor Frederick the Second. There have, then, always- been a few to set religious belief at defiance ; but as long as men continue to die there will be religion; and this religion will always have a very considerable effect upon men's feelings aud conduct towards their neighbours ; as well as towards ihe State to which they owe allegiance and obedience. I much question whether a Roman Catholic priest- hood, maintained at the public charge in America, vvould cost the people so much money ( to say nothing about ihe harassing of their minds) as they have to pay in consequence of the religious competition. The payments, indeed, which they now make, appear to be voluntary ; hut they are by no means quite so voluntary, iu some cases, as you and I could wish. I do not wish you to go, each of you with your wife and family, to settle in some township in America, where you vvould be constantly under the observing eye of your neighbours. 1 wish you lo stay here and to write reviews; otherwise, I should really like to see you, comfortably sitting down, each in some pleasant village north of the Capes of the Delaware Aud, iu one of these villages, having an Episcopal Church, a Presbyterian, a Baptist, a Methodist, a Lutheran, aud, perhaps, another ortwo, I should like to see Mr. Jeffrey, for instance, thus seated down, with a couple of sons beginning to look out for wives, and a couple of daughters beginning lo look out for husbands. Understanding all about religion much belter than the preachers in these 14 houses of GOD," he would, very likely, not think of giving a good handful of dollars every year to one of the preachers. Stili less would he* think, perhaps, of sending the priest in a eorde of wood, and a quarter of beef, and half a hog in November. Still less would he think, than this, I dare say, of sending Mrs. Jeffrey, at Christmas, to the preacher's wife with half a d- zen pounds of candles, a pound often, two or three pounds of coffee, and a certain quantity of spun flax, cotton, or wool. These things would never come into the head of Mr. Jeffrey ; yet, if they did not come into his head and out of his pocket, before the end of one year frpm the time of his sitting down, 1 can assure him, that he would be ( if it were any where but in a large city) very nearly in the situation of the kings in old limes, whe; y.' lay ing under the interdict and excommunient'ui\ i Of the Pope ! lie and his family would be shunned as if stricken with a pestilence. 1 saw an English gentleman, in the year 1819, ( who was settled, most delightfully, in one of these illages. He and his family had been received in lie village with all possible hospitality and kind- ess. Tlie lime came for the payment to the preacher, and the only place of worship, as they called it, in the village,, was one of the Episcopal Church. The Eldeis or head men, who collect the money in uch cases, went to him as a matter of course. He expressed his surprise at the object of their visit; but at last offered them three or four dollars, and expressed his determination to send neither wood, meat, candles, nor tea. They quitted him with great civility ; but he immediately found every door n the village shut against htm aud his family ; and • lis solitude became as complete as that of Robinson Crusoe, This anecdote rests upon my word and upon that of my friend ; but what have we iu the melancholy history of Mr. Birkbeck? He tells us, in his first pamphlet from ihe prairies, that scarcely had he arrived upon the spot, when he received a letter from a preacher ( of GOD knows what sect) tendering his ghostly services to the new colony. Mr. Birk- beck, unhappily for him, thought he might distort himself a little with this important preacher ; he fold him ( 1 quote from memory), that when lie re- flected that all around him was so flourishing ; that the trees had grown to so amazing a height and size, and that the meadows had annually brought their surprising superabundance of grass ; when he re- flected that the land had been so blessed for so many es without the assistance of any preacher, he could not but believe that they would still continue lo flourish without such assistance. But that, if he houId, nevertheless, find a preacher necessary, he would certainly give the first offVr to this obliging and generous applicant, Alas! Mr. Birkbeck really knew not where he was. Infidel, Atheist, all sorts of opprobrious names were heaped upon him. Even his Quaker money agents at Philadelphia threatened him ( at a critical period iu his affairs) to close his account ! An interdict was pronounced on him and his colony ; and, in order to avoid instant ruin, he wrote and published a letter, containing a miserable attempt to explain away the meaning of the passage I have alluded to; professed his firm belief iir the Christian faith ; and said, in conclusion, as a proof of my sincerity, my team is this day employed iu drawing logs to build a Meeting- house. Now, Gentlemen, we want nothing but this to convince us that the payment is not voluntary. Many applications were made to me, during the time that I lived iu that country. I objected upon the fairest and most reasonable grounds. I belonged to the Church of Englaud ; and I vvould have nothing lo do with their Episcopal Church, because they had left the word HEI. L out of the Apostle's Cieed ; because they had left the absolution out of the Visitation of ihe Sick ; and because they had left out the Prayers for the King, Queeny and Royal Family. They used to endeavour to convince me that this was bigotry in me ; but 1 assured ihem that my conscience would not permit me to give my money to support a heresy, nor even to attend those places where it was inculcated. In this way I got out of the difficulty, and always lived most harmoui ously with my neighbours. They regretted that I could not join them in prayer; but I amply com- pensated by joining them most heartily in smokin and talking. Mi& ctUmtow UnttUtg^ nct* The rumour of a general election in the Spring appears to gain ground. We have some reason to believe lhat whenever it lakes place, there will be a strong contest for Ihe county of Northumberland, as certain influential families are understood to have determined to endeavour to throw out the present Whig member. One of the gentlemen who represents this town in Parliament is even mention ed as likely, in such an event, to offer himself as a candidate.

A few days ago, two young chimney- sweeps entering the, burgh of Linlithgow from the east, spied a new and tall steam engine- vent, whose cloud capt summit seemed to challenge their climbing powers. Quit ling the high road, the young rogues entered the building, and contrived to creep up through the interior of the vent to the top; and after performing many capers and gambols on " the speculative height," to the terror and amazement of the spectators, one of them suddenly executed a somerset, pitched down on his hands, and raising his heels in the air, con- tinued to kick against the clouds for some time vvith all imaginable case.

At a school near London, the learned master was lately giving a lecture on Astronomy; and after alluding to Ihe representations of the world on the shoulders of Atlas, asked the class generally on what Atlas stood ? One replied, as Ihe world was made out of Chaos, he must stand on chaos; another conjectured a rock ; when a lad from Card iff, at the bottom of the class exclaimed, " I know, Sir!" " Indeed," replied the Doctor, " pray tell us on what you think he stood." " 1 know," answered the boy, " but it is not my turn yet." When the question passed to him, the whole class was on tiptoe to hear the young Welshman's idea, when, with an air of consequence, he exclaimed, " on his legs to be sure, on what else could he stand?"

MISTAKES OF TRANSLATORS. Vicaire, Curt.— The sense of these words is almost always mistaken by English translators, who never fail lo translate the latter word Curate, and of course the subordinate to ( he Vicar. The fact is the very reverse. A Cure is the ecclesiastic who has the cure of souls, and answers generally to the English word Rector. Curate, in French, is Desservant, which, neither in French, Spanish, or I alian, is ever taken iu the sense of Cure.— Lilerary Gazette. It is said that in Scotland about - 2,500,000 acres of land are usually in pasture and hay, and only about 140,000 acres in wheat. This is surely great proportion of animal food to a small portion of wheal en bread. PLANTING TREES.— He who plants trees upon his paternal estate, repays a debt to his posterity which he owes to his ancestors. A gentleman whose lands were more extensive than fertile, used to plant 1,000 trees, on the birth of every daughter, upon his waste grounds, which were, on average, worth one pound each on her coming of age; thus enabling him to give her a fortune of £ 1,000 without any extraordinary economy on his part, ihe regular thinning of the trees, at proper seasons, with barking, & c. paving off all Ihe cur- rent expenses, besides yielding him a small rent for ( he land. In the year 1758, ninety two fir- trees were planted upon a piece of ground, about three quarters of an acre 111 extent. The land was waste and poor; no extra expense was incurred, aud no further attention was paid to the young trees. In 1813, they were cut down, and yielded ninely tons of timber, then worth £ 4 per ton, giving a round sum of £ 360, which was equal lo a rent of £ 6. 10s. during the intervening 55 years. Can a more convincing proof be given of ihe facility with which a man may save a fortune for his grandchildren ? PAINTED TEA.— Common Bohea tea, worth about 3s. or 4s. the pound, is sifted, and the largest reserved for painting as it is called. Dutch pink and Prussian blue are finely powdered aud united together, which forms a fine green powder : the tea and the colour are put together in a long leathern bag, and gently shook backward and forward by two persons, until the tea becomes charged with sufficient colour to assume the ap pearance of fine bloom Hyson, and is then sold for 8s. or 10s. the pound ; occasionally the leaves of the black- currant tree are rolled, dried, and broken into fine pieces, which imparts a peculiar and agreeable flavour.— Economist. ADVANTAGES OF WEARING SILK.— The power of electricity over the body is well known ; iu fact, we can never enjoy health or comfort with- out a proportion of it in the system. In d weather, whether it be warm, cold, or frosty, we feel light and spirited, bccause dry air is a slow conductor of electricity, and leaves us to enjoy its luxuries. In moist or rainy weather, we feel op pressed and drowsy, because all moisture greedily absorbs our electricity, which is the buoyant cordial of the body. To remedy this inconvenience, we have only to discover a good non- conductor of electricity to prevent its escape from the body ; and this we have in silk. Those, therefore, who are apt to become low spirited and lifeless in damp weather, will find silk waistcoats, drawers, and stockings, the most powerful of all cordials. Flan- nel is also good, but not near so powerful as silk Wash- leather is likewise a non- conductor of electri- city, and may be used by Ihose who prefer it; but silk is by far the best, and those who dislike to wear flannel next the skin will find equal benefit by substituting cotton shirts, drawers, and stock ings, vvith silk ones over them ; or, where more heat is required, flannel ones between the cotton and siik, for the silk should always be outermost Silk, indeed, should be used in every possible way by the weak, in the lining of sleeves, in the stiffeners of neckcloths, and even in the entire backs of surtouts, cloaks, mantles, and in the coverlets of beds, fcc. it will, in the end, be found the most economical stuff that can be used, as it will save many an apothecary's bill.— Mechanics Magazine. might appoint his apprentice to act for him in both capacities w hile he stepped out, yet the Court would see lhat there Was nothing in ihe charter to sustain that supposition. But even conceding for a moment at the deputation was legal, then he was acting only as the deputy of a Magistrate, and consequently was not entitled to notice of action under the Act of | Parliament, as that referred only to Magistrates or Justices of the Peace, and not to their deputies. Mr. Jystice BAVLEY.— But if he were acting' as Ihe deputy of a Justice of the Peace, he was so far to be considered as a Justice of the Peace.

But there was a third , point on which he moved, that the subject matter of Ihe complaint was not such as any Justice of the Peace could have any jurisdiction in. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.— But if he acted as a ustice of the Peace— even if the case were not ithin his jurisdiction— he would be entitled to notice. However, you may take a rule to show cause • pon the two first points. saw* Court of King's Bench, Nov. 8. LLOYD V. DAVIES. Mr. Serjeant PEAKE moved the Court to set aside the nonsuit which, in this case, Mr. Justice Littl dale had directed at the Salop Assizes. The question was, whether the plaintiffs could recover from the defendant the amount of a bill of exchange, draw by Miss Vaughan and accepted by the defendant which the plaintiffs now held, and claimed as security to them for bail given by them for a debt against Miss Vaughan, who died some time since The Learned Judge had held that the plaintiffs could not recover upon this bill of £ 200. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that th plaintiffs could not recover, because they had not proved that they had got possession of the bill before it fell due.— Rule refused. JONES V. WILLIAMS. This was an action of trespass and false imprison ment, tried before Mr. Justice Park at the last assizes at Shrewsbury. Upon it beir. g objected at the commencement of the trial, on the part of the defendant, that he was a Justice of the Peace, therefore entitled to notice under the 24th of Geo. II and no notice having been given in this case, the Learned Judge stopped the case, and directed a uon suit to be entered. Mr. GODSON now moved for a rule lo show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside and a new trial granted. The plaintiff", Elizabeth Jones, was domestic servant in the employ of a person of th. name of Hughes. She was taken before the defend ant, he being supposed to be a Magistrate, and to have jurisdiction in the subject matter of the com plaint. The first question was, whether the defend ant was a magistrate. The trespass and false imprisonment took place in the borough of Denbigh in Wales, w here the defendant claimed to be deputy to a Justice of Peace under the charter of that borough. Now, that charter certainly by its term: enabled the two Aldermen to appoint deputies ii case of alienee; but although Ihe Aldermen were also Justices of the Peace, there was nothing in tin charter which empowered them to delegate thei authority ns such. The power of delegation was limited to the office of Alderman, and did not extend to his office us Justice of the Peace. Now, no Jus tice could appoint a delegate, unless that power was expressly given him in hwt commission. So early as the time of Edward VI. it was held that even the Lord Chancellor could not appoint a deputy to exer eise his authority. It was true that the Recorder of Loudon, whose case was cited at the other side might depute his authority, but by the terms of h appointment he might hold it by self or deputy. I the instance of the Welsh Judg- es also, which relied upon, they were expressly authorized by Act of Parliament to appoint deputies. In the case of the King v. the Mayor of Gravesend, the Court held that as the Seneschal had judicial as well as minis terinl duties to perform, he could not make a general deputation of LIS office. In the present case the defendant was not an Alderman, hut a mere Burgess, appointed by an Alderman ; aud though it was con tended on the other side that a tailor, if he were an Alderuian and Justice of the Peace in the Borough INSOLVENT DEBTORS. On Thursday morning last, at ten o'clock, WILLIAM JOHN LAW, Esq. one of the Commissioners for ihe Relief of Insolvent Debtors, attended at ihe Court House ( the Town Hall, Shrewsbury) ; JOSEPH LOX- DALE, Esq. Clerk of the Peace for ibis County, also look his place; and a Court was then held for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, pursuant to the Act of Parliament passed in the 5th Year of the Reign of lis present Majesty, chap. 61; when the under- mentioned Insolvents appeared to claim the benefit of the Act: Robert Hood, late of Cheswardine, Surgeon; John Capp, formerly of Brandon, in the county of Suffolk, Gamekeeper, and late of Loppington, in the County of Salop, Gamekeeper ; John Cureton, late of Bridgnorth, Gardener; Thomas Roberts, late of Llanymynech, Farmer; William Jervis, formerly of Walcot, Farming Bailiff, and late of Clun, Warden of the Hospital. There being no opposition to the discharge of Robert Hood or John Capp, they were severally sworn upon their schedulesand discharged forthwith. There was no opposition to the discharge of John Cureton ; but it appearing that one of his creditors, Mr. John Bang ham, had been written lo by a letter irected erroneously Mr. Joseph Bangham, which was intended as the usual notice, the Courtcould not permit the discharge of the prisoner till Mr. Bang- lam's consent to his discharge should be procured ; and therefore, as the insolvent was a cripple, the Court kindly consented to adjourn his case to next morning, when it would assemble especially to heai the result of an application to Mr. Barigham. CASE OF WILLIAM JERVIS. The discharge of William Jervis was opposed by Mr. Slaney, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Brown, one of is creditors. The insolvent, 011 beingVxamined by Mr. Slanev, staled that, from the year 1806 to 1816," he had lived t Ihe rate of about £ 100 a- year. In ihe year 1816, he was indebted in ihe sum of £ 86 and interest to Miss Probert. He had owing lo him bv his brother bout £ 600, and by Mr. F. Southern about £ 700; Mr. Southern died about years ago, and his sons and executors disputed the debt, which they did not consider to be owing; and as he had not been able, though he had tried for many years, to bring ihe late Mr. Southern to a settling," lie had not inserted this debt in his schedule, bpcnuse he could not swear exactly to the amount. Iu 1815, he became Warden of Clun Hospital ( an endowed charitable institution), since which time he had lived at the rate of about £ 130 a- year. He considered his situation of Warden of the Hospital worth about £ 100 a- year or more, and he had interest of money beside coining in to meet his expenditure. He received rents, made payments, and transacted business on account of the Trustees of the Hospital; the accounts were not kept so regular as they ought; he had been ill for about two years; and on an examination taking ilace, it was found that he was indebted to ihe : Iospita! about £ 1470. Towards liquidating this, he had given Mr. Edye, who was agent lo ihe Trustees of the Hospital, a note of hand of his brother's for £ 568. The Trustees had taken possession of all his accounts and books relating to the Hospital. He had been used to bank with Messrs. Coleman and Wel- lings, bankers at Bishop's Castle; aud his banker's book was in the possession of their clerk. In June, 1823, he was pressed for the money due to Mi; Probert, and he then borrowed £ 200 from M Thomas Brown. He did not tell Mr. Brown it was to pay Miss Probert; nor did he tell him it was to give to Edward Langford, who had married hi niece ; neither did be represent himself as having an estate at Llanfvllin. He did say he had plenty lo pay with, when he had received what was owing lo him, and he did consider himself iu good circumstances at that time. Mr. Brown wanted further security ( ban his note of hand, aud he ( the insolvent) in conse- quence assigned to him in addition a bond for £ 256. 15s. due from a Mr. Evans to Matthew Jervis, his brother, which Matthew Jervis had previously assigned to him as a security.— The insolvent ap- peared not to be able to give any account of what he had done with the money that was now due to the Hospital, and the balance of which amounts to about £ 800. Mr. Thomas Brown, on his examination by M Slaney, stated that in June, 1S23, he lent the insolvent £ 200. He asked the insolvent what property he had ; and he said Mr. Southern and others owed him money, and that he had land af Llanfyllin from which he received rent; he said he wanted the money to give to Edward Laugford, who had married his niece, and thai he had helped langford and wished to help him more. The insolvent never said a word about the money being ( 0 pay Miss Probert, nor about any debt to tliat lady. On his examination by Mr. Bather, Mr. Brown said, the insolvent assigned over the bond because witness would not take his note only. The original assignment of the bond to the insolvent by his brother was, however, unstamped, and in consequence it W; not valid as a security to witness. Witness had au- thorised a proposal made to insolvent on Saturday last, that if he could get his brother to assign the bond properly he would not oppose his discharge. The insolvent was then examined by Mr. Bath and he stated that before he became Warden of Clun Hospital he had been under- bailiff to the Earl of Powis ; Mr. Southern was the head- bailiff, and with him he had a running account for 20 years and upwards, but could never get him to a regular set- tlement. He had once got him to a settlement, when a balance was admitted of £ 56 in his ( insolvent**) favour, and that sum had been paid in part of the debt to the trustees of Clun Hospital. He was in the habit of paying large sums to Earl Powis's labourers, which he ought to have received again from Mr. Southern, and he believed Mr. Southern or his exe- cutors lo be now largely indebted to him. Mr. Probert was Earl Powis's principal agent, and h paid Mr. Southern, whose place it then was to pay him ( the insolvent), and he. paid the labourers. The insolvent further stated that he succeeded to his father's farming stock, and occupied a farm fo years, during which he advanced considerable sums in payments to Earl Powis's labourers. The account between him and Mr. Southern was running and debt accruing for 20 years, until he went to Clun Hospital. He had applied 3 or 4 times a year to Mr. Southern to settle it, but never could get him to settle it; twice Mr. S. had appointed a time to settle, but on his going to settle, Mr. S. was out; once the insolvent applied to Mr. Wilding ( one of Earl Povvis's agents) about if. The insolvent stated that he did not say to Mr. Brown he had an estate at Llanfyllin, but he did tell him lhat he should have an estate there turned over to him by his brother. Last Satur- day Mr. Brown had offered to let him he discharged if he would get his brother to assign Ihe bond regu- larly, and he had written lo his brother about it. The trustees of Clun Hospital, on Trinity Monday, 1823, appointed Mr. Newell to look over his accounts, and he has not since received any money on their account; all his books and papers were given over to Mr. Newell. The accounts were previously not kept as they ought to be; the trustees used lo examine ihein ; but mistakes had been made, and he did not know how his account with the trustees stood until Mr. Newell told him, as he had been unwell some time. The bond which he had assigned to Mr. Brown was originally given by a Mr. Evans, who had a freehold of £ 80 a- year, and as the assign ment from his brother to him was drawn by ai attorney, he thought it had been right, and so consi- dered it when he assigned it to Mr. Brown. E. Edye, Esq. was examined bv Mr. Bather, and stated that he is solicitor to Earl Powis and also to the trustees of Clun Hospital. The situation of War. den of Clun Hospital is worth more than £ 100 a- year. He had been confidentially employed in the offices of the Earl of Powis's establishment for many years; and it was 011 his mind that Ihe insolv- ent had complained there of not being able to settle with Mr. Southern. The accounts of Clun Hospital certainly had not been regularly kept; and when the insolvent's defalcation was discovered, it was not without much pressure that witness induced him to give tip the note for £ 508 due from his brdiher0 He considered Jervis's recollection gone, and lhat hie intellects had been weak for the last two years. The Trustees did not oppose his discharge, because they thought that proceeding would be of 110 use. Wit- ness threatened Jervis with an arrest on Miss Prohert's account, before the money due to her was paid.— The assignment of the note* of hand by the insolvent was put in a small trunk, which had been stolen from ihe coach about a month ago, when witness was on a journey. Mr. BATHER, 011 behalf of the Insolvent, then ad- dressed the Court. He said Jervis had certainly been employed in a situation for which he was totally unfilr and his accounts had been very incorrect. There were one or two imporlant points to which he should just refer. Willi respect lo the debt due to Mr, Brown, it appeared the assignment of the bond made to him was considered a valid act when it was exe- cuted ; the want of its being legally stamped was the fault of the attorney, and as the security would'have been ample if it had been regularly assigned, there could be no fraud on that head. His assignment of the note of hand to the trustees of Clun Hospital, which took place in February last, appeared, by Mr. Edye's evidence, to have been any thing but volun- tary, and therefore it could not be looked upon as giving an undue preference lo a part of his creditors. With regard to the debt due from Mr. Southern, and which the insolvent had not inserted in his schedule, it appeared from the very nature of the insolvent's transactions with Mr. S. and his way of doing business, that there could be no probability of that debt being regularly liquidated, and therefore the insolvent, not knowing what he had to receive from Mr. Southern's executors, could not swear lo any amount. Mr. SLANF. Y, on behalf of the opposing creditor, Mr. Brown, said he should draw the attention of the Court to some most important features of the case, which Mr. Bather, with his usual talent, had very ingeniously contrived to omit altogether. In the first place the insolvent, on his examination, had distinctly sworn lhat Mr. Southern owed him about £ 700, and yet any debt from Mr. Southern was wholly omitted iu his schedule. This, therefore, could not be a fair statement, and was a direct and distinct fraud. As to his banker's hook, and other accounts, he has produced none, aud staled in the schedule there were none, yet it appears there are hooks and accounts, though they have not been filed or produced for the inspection of liis creditors. In reference to the enormous debt due to the Trustees f Clun Hospital, he has not attempted to account for the mode in which a penny has been squandered ; and though he has wronged Ihe poor men belonging- to this Charity of so large a sum, it does appear very singular that there is 110 inquiry made here about it on behalf of the Trustees, who, on the contrary, have sent their agent apparently to assist him ih ougit his difficulties. His brother's note, indeed, had been made over to those trustees, which act, he ( Mr S.) would contend, was an undue preference. The insolvent had falsely represented to Mr. Brown that he owned land, & c. and had thereby perjured him- self; aud he had been living at a rate beyond his means, aud thus was contracting debts without the probability of being able lo discharge them. Under all the circumstances, Mr. Slaney said, he though! it was a case which demanded that some punishment should be inflicted at the hands of the Court. Mr. LAW said, there was a difference in regard to this Court and il. ose of Criminal Judicature; for if he were lo decide on this or any other case that the insolvent should be imprisoned, it would be at an expense to some of his creditors. In reference to the present case, if he were now going lo decide upon it, he should say there was fraud in the insolvent representing to Mr. Brown lhat he either had an estate, or was going to have one made over to him ; there was fraud in representing Ihe money to be for Langford, when it was lo pay Miss Probert ; and there was a direct fraud iu thus borrowing of one person to pay another, when threatened with arrest, aud kuowing himself to be insolvent. In regard to his accounts, there must have been a fraudulent making away of his property, for not a penny of the £ 1400 due to the Hospital was ac- counted for. He appeared to have made bis regular expenditure in living and his income somewhat come near each other, but be had not attempted to show what was gone with the large amount for which lie was a defaulter. M r. LAW said, he should not, there- fore, pass sentence on the insolvent until he knew whelher he would amend his schedule aud balance sheet; and this he ( Mr. L.) did on account of all the creditors ; for they are entitled lo examine his books and accounts. The account here produced was wholly unsatisfactory and the Court would dismiss it. As 10 Mr. Southern's alleged debt, it was in itself very improbable that a superior should thus be so much indebted to an inferior ; if, however, there were any truth iu the statement, of which, indeed, he had some doubts, the insolvent should have placed that debt iu his schedule. The Court, therefore, at present decided that the schedule and balance sheet be dismissed, for their false slateinenls. Mr. Edye observed that all the accounts of the insolvent relating to the Hospital had been im- pounded by the trustees. All the accounts, even the rough accounts, from the foundation of the Hos- pital, were iu the chests of that institution. Application was made 011 the part of the opposing creditor for his costs.— Mr. LAW said, the Act em- powered the Commissioner to order the payment of costs where the opposition was effectual, and where a decision took place, fie certainly considered the present opposition lo have been effectual; but as there had been no decision, and as he was not aware that there had yet been any precedent for this point, he would at present suspend the order for costs. CASE OF THOMAS ROBERTS. This insolvent, as appeared from his own exa- mination, in June, 1823, took 12 acres, part of Llwyn lawn, from Mr. W. Huinff'reys, agreeing to pay » rent of 40s. per acre for it; he also afterwards took- a small farm of about 21 acres from the same gentle- man at £ 30 per annum. He now stated that when he took it he was not worth a farthing; he drew an accommodation bill to raise money to buy some stock for it, which he kept on a part of it for about 2 months; be also let some of the land out to tack, for which he received £ 7 ; he sold the cattle and drew another accommodation bill to pay the first; he Ivatl also settled Ibis latter bill; but he had not paid one farthing of rent for Ihe land, nor, when he left if, was* he worth a farthing; he had only had stock on a part of it for 2 months, and the season had proved unfortunate, the price of cattle having declined; and he received no rent for a part which he hod let fo tack, as Mrs. Huuifi'reys detained the hay which had been mown off it. It had altogether been an unfor- tunate speculation. His father bad endeavoured lo compromise the matter with Mrs. Humffreys, but without effect.— Mr. BATHER appeared on behalf of the trustee of the Llwyn estate ; and, as he had no witnesses to call, rested upon the insolvent's own statement, which, he said, shewed the case to be one of fraud, and of contracting debt without probable means of paying it; for, on what other ground could a man stand who took a farm, when, by his ov\ u account, he was not worth one farthing? Mr. LAW said, it certainly appeared that the in- solvent was not worth a farthing when he took the land aud farm iu question; but the landlord should have used more caution iu choosing a tenant, and should have taken further security for the rents: as there had evidently been no caution used i< i tlfe case, the Court couid not decide that there had been any fraud. Roberts was then sworn on his schedule, and discharged. On Friday morning, the Court again met at half- past nine o'clock ; when Mr. Aslerley, the solicitor to John Curelon, stated that he had been at Bridg- north, and had obtained Mr. Bangham's consent 10 the insolvent's release, and which consent in writing he produced.— The insolvent was then sworn on Ins schedule and discharged.— This terminated the busi- ness of the Court.
