CAUSE OF LIVER COMPLAINTS IN INDIA.— Most people suppose that it is the heat of the climate in the East Indies that produces so many liver complaints : this is not alone the cause— the Brazils is much hotter, yet these diseases are not by any means so frecjuent. It is also supposed that free living is the cause; but this is refuted by j the fact, lhat mere water drinkers will he affected, in common with wine bibbers, and dogs that so from Europe to India will, in the same profusion of numbers as men, contract a disease of the liver. The opinion of the natives is, that this formidable | complaint is occasioned by the quality of the | water, and with this opinion we agree.. People going to India should look to this point; thej I should boil the water which is for drink, and then I filter it.—• Medical Adviser.

The machine was ipelled by two men, the handle making 30 turns a minute. EXTRAORDINARY STEAM GUV.— Much as ty have been said of the power and effects of steam, < 1 great as have heen the improvements iu engines, d in the application of this powerful agent to the irposesof manufacture and the arts; it was reserved r Mr. Perkins to astonish us, even at a period when 5 imagined that the ingenuity of man had exerted » elf to the utmost; but to come immediately to the ; traordinary piece of mechanism called the Steam un. The gun is simply formed by introducing a irrel into the steam generator of any engine, and I the addition of two pipes towards the chamber of e gun, introducing a quantity of balls, which bv e action of a handle to the chamber, are dropped to the barrel, and fired one by one, at the rate of om 4 to 500 in the minute. The explosive force of e steam which rushes front the generator nnd ex- ? ls the balls is about 700lhs. to Ihe square inch; ith this force a musket ball tired Against an iron late at the distance of 100 feet from the gun, iscOm- letely flattened, and when a force of S40lbs. to the juare inch is applied, ihe bull is actually driven to ieees in such a way that none of its fragments can be " dlected. As the gun is now fixed, having a direct Duimunicatioii through a wall with one of Mr. Per- ins's engines, it cannot of Course be removed from IC spot, the barrel merely being susceptible of alter- tion ; but in the event of the invention being applied > purposes of warfare, it would be e « sy to attach a ortable steam eilgiile of small dimensions, which ould be removed with asinuch rapidity as anv piece f ordnance now in use; the cost of such machine alto, ether would be comparatively small, nnd as Mr. ' erkins is about to construct a four- pounder, which an be moved about with great facility by two liorses, he public will have a good opportunity of judging if its practical merits, of which, however, there eau- IOI he a doubt, after the experiments already made it the manufactory. The most extraordinary part of he affair is the smaljness of the expense in charging irtillery of this nature compared With that of the > resent system. In Mr. Perkins's Steam Gun, one mum! weight of coals is found to produce the same • ffect as four pounds weight of gunpowder iu the mlinary way, viz. one pound of coals \ Viil generate i sufficient steam to expel, with equal force, as many Imllsas four pounds of powder. Of the rapidity with which the discharges were made we say little, after what we have observed of the mode iu which the balls [ ire expelled, but there is another great advantage, which, on the score of humanity, deserves com- mendation : an explosion from this gun is next to im-. possible; for the greater the rapidity of the firing, the less is the danger, as the stream of vapour rushes forward without check, and iindsa vent in the open stir. How many lives, on the contrary, have beeif lost by ihe bursting of our common field pieces, and how little reliance is to be placed upon the greatest care in cleansing them inthe hear of haUle. Ten gnus, upon this principle, would, in a field of battle, he more than equal to 200 on the present system ; and a vessel of only six guns would be rendered more than a match for a 74. If Mr. Perkins's Steam Guns were introduced into general use, ih^ re would he but very short waris; since no fecundity could provide population for its attacks.— London d/ e- chanics' Register.

Cobbett has replied to the statement that a seat in Parliament is to be procured for him, « 1s the advocate of Catholic emancipation, " if the Irish Catholics in a body, or the English Catholics, or both united, wire to send a deputation to me, in- forming me that they had a seat vacant, and quite ready for me, I would not accept of it, though I should not fail to express a deep sense of the honour done me.

CAUTION.— We are requested to call the atten- tion of the public to an Impostor, of the name of Hamilton, who is levying contributions upon humane and benevolent individuals, under the plea of having suffered considerable loss by shipwreck. He is respectably dressed, and carries with him a book containing a list of donations of considerable sums from highly respectable persons in Birming- ham and in this county, many of which our in- formant has ascertained to be false, and their sig- natuies forgeries. ARSON.— Early un Wednesday morning last, stack of wheat and a stack of oats, in the stack- yard of Richard William^, Esq. at Eaton, near this town, were wilfully set on fire by some person or persons at present unknoVn.— The prompt and indefatigable exertions of the neighbours, aided by the engines of the Salop Fire Office, & c. prevented the spread of the flames towards the mansion; and as rewards to the amount of £ 150 are offered for the discovery of the perpetrators of this most atrocious offence, we hope soon to hear of their being brought to justice. FUNERAL.— We noticed in our last, the dis solution ( in Chester) of Miss A. B. Brown, of Heath Cottage, near Whitchurch. The body was placed in three coffins, the centre one of lead, the outside , one of oak, covered with rich black silk Genoa velvet, decorated with gilt nails and massive gilt handles and ornaments. The plate was of silver gilt and burnished, and had the following inscrip- tion engraved on it : — MARY ANNE BEATRICE BROWN, Died the 12th of November, 1824. Aged 11 Years.

On entering the church, the organ sounded that solemn and affecting dirge, Vital spark of heavenly flame, Q, uit, oh ! quit this earthly frame. The pulpit and canopy, the reading desks, balus- trade, aud organ gallery, were hung with festoons of black cloth, relieved with rosettes of white ribbon. Every pew and every aisle of the church was crowded, and we never remember witnessing a more imposing procession, or hearing the funeral service performed with greater solemnity. The funeral was under the direction of Messrs. Brittain, of Chester. The eoffini furnished by Mrs. Gardner and Sons. The hearse, coaches, horses, and their splendid decorations, were supplied by Mrs. Tom linsoti' of the Feathers Hotel. The rapid advance in the price of iron is easily accounted for, if the demand in other parts of Ihe country bears any proportion to the parish of Mary- la- bonne, which is going to be lighted with gas. The Conservators of this parish have con- tracted for sixty miles of iron pipe, to enable this plan to be carried into effect. The briskness of the English lead wines has directed the attention of speculators to Scotland: some old lead mines in Galloway have been sur- veyed, and found to contain valuable veins of ore. iiUNTING. ~ SHROPSHIRE HOUNDS.

SIR,— In the Shrewsbury Chronicle of this day, is inserted a long and vapid article headed u Reli- gious Toleration," but which is indeed nothing more than a lame attempt to defend the new princi- ples of Conciliation, which have had So powerful an effect in setting the different religious parties in Ireland by the ears. In this country, happily, the numbers professing the Catholic religion are so small, and the individuals composing the Catholic body are so respectable, that every object of their ambition might be granted to them without danger to the State ; but we must not forget that Ireland is now an integral part of this kingdom; that her Peers and her Commoners sit on the same benches with our own .; that her Generals have commanded our armies, and her Statesmen guided Our councils ; and that, consequently, however secure we may think ourselves in our distance from the immediate scene of action, we must, in reality, be partakers iii every danger that may. accrue from. the indiscri- minate admission of Catholics to all the offices of the State. That that danger is neither small hdr remote, notwithstanding- the ridicule with which it is treated by the advocates of liberality, no man acquainted with the present state of Ireland can doubt. A Parliament sitting and taxing the country, raising by their own authority £ 500 per week," which is regularly funded, and which in a very short time will be sufficient to arm and equip a population, whose good- will to the cause is so great that arms are at present the only desideratum of an army— that population itself, so blinded by ignorance and superstition, and so inured to hard- ship and privation, as to be inferior to no people on earth in all the requisites for a soldier, namely, devotion to the cause, and capability of action; add to these a Government asleep, an Aristocracy brow- beaten, and a Church calumniated,— and let any honest man ask himself what more is necessary to put the country in danger? A foreign war, indeed, would have that effect; but what security have we. . that that also may not be added to the list. All this, it may be said, affects Ireland only. No such thing. Suppose, for a moment, a corrupt minister, and a king ambitious of power; suppose at the same time Catholics eligible to seats in Par- liament, they would undoubtedly be returned in three parts " of Ireland, for although the land is almost exclusively in the bauds of Protestant land- lords, the tenants are of the Catholic creed, and experience has shewn, ou some late occasions, what lengths they will go to return even a Protestant favourable to their claims. The purchase of bo- oughs would bring in another fourth. Here then are one hundred members united in principle to accomplish one particular object, and that object the agg- randizement of their religion. What has a minister then to do ( snpposing him base enough to use such means) to insure their votes, but to promise some further privilege to themselves, or some greater degradation to their adversaries. They will never ask, is such a measure subversive of th « constitution? but is it of advantage to the Catholics ? We all know that an hundred members well drilled would carry any measure for a minister. But, putting aside selfish motives, let us see how the case stands with our fellow Protestants at the other side of the water, those same Protestants who, when our troops were neither so numerous nor so efficient as they are at present, preserved for us a valuable portion of the empire, and who have at all periods of our history been distinguished for an uncompro- mising loyalty, whose blood has always flowed for British interests as freely as our own, aud who, since the days of Elizabeth, have been the victims of open massacre or secret assassination . IIow will it be with them ? Already persecuted ( for persecu- tion it is, to prevent the free utterance of opinion), they will no longer dare to exercise their religion but in secret; the very name of Protestant will become a term of contempt, as it ; i.. s now of re- proach ; and we shall have the consolation of reflecting that we, whose ancestors were the bul- warks of the Protestant faith in Christendom, have been the means of extinguishing' it in a great portion of our own dominions; or, should the love of country and the entanglements of property, still detain a portion of Protestants in that island, a miserable remnant, to sigh over the ruins of their dilapidated temples, how will the high- spirited gentleman, who was born a freeman, and who trusted to* the laws which his ancestors had sealed with their own blood that he should have died one — how will he bow his spirit to truckle to some upstart priest, who forces him to kneel in the dirt while he displays in Paganish procession his idols or his host? And vet, Sir, the time will come when he must either kneel or die, unless a speedy termination be put to the system of Conciliation in that countfy. And what is all this abandoment of our friends to effect? the elevation of a few dema- ogues to power. For every purpose of happiness the Catholics have enough : their gentry are ma- gistrates, lawyers, and officers ; the peasarttry constables, serjeants of the militia, and in fact every thing which a peasant in this- country is eligible to. They have nothing but their poverty to complain of, and that w shared in some degree by the lower orders of Protestants : their superior industry in the north of Ireland has given them some advantage. Let the Catholics imitate instead of abusing them; let them abridge their saints* days, and overcome their local prejudices ; let them before they marry endeavour to find support for a family.; let them give up their insensate attach- ment to the soil, and embrace manufactures; but, above al! things, let them be peaceable, and then people will embark their capital, and join their industry with their own ; as to the rest, they have no grievances, the Catholic Parliament has not been able in the many months which it has sat, to sub- stantiate orue act. of oppression ou the part of a landlord or a clergyman.

The Ports remaining closed against, the im- portation of Foreign Barley, and the market being very thinly supplied with that article, what few samples appeared were eagerly pnrehascd by the maltsters at an advance of 5s. per quarter oil last Monday's quotations; but immediately the wind | changes we shall have a good supply, particularly from the Norfolk { Coatt, and there is no doubt but that the demand will be fully adequate to it, and the present high prices fully maintained.

After a long hearing, the court adjudged him to be remanded for ten rnonthi, and allowed the taxed costs of opposition to Mr. Pear- man.

SIR, — It is with the greatest pleasure I request your insertion of the following Additional Sub- scribers towards the formation of a HUMANE SOCI- ETY, which I am now happy to say there can be no doubt of establishing on the most permanent basis The objects of such a Society are four- fold : In the first place, to endeavour to prevent aeci dents by appropriating proper places to bathe in. 2dly. To render immediate assistance to persons in danger of drowning. 3dly. To reuder the most efficient assistance pos- sible in cases where animation is suspended. 4th, ly. To bestow such rewards as shall be a sti- mulus to individuals to render every assistance that may be in their power to persons in danger. There can be no parent so void of feeling as not to hail the formation of such a Society with joy, as they cannot be certain but that the next hour they may be lamenting the loss of a beloved child, or be returning thanks to Almighty God for the almost miraculous preservation of its life. And if we consider, that in and near London alone 5419 persons have been rescued from destruction by the unremitted exertions of the Royal Humane Society, and that 20,975 claimants have been rewarded since the formation of that Society, may we not reasonably hope to have the Satisfaction of seeing the annual list of lives lost in the vicinity of this town considerably reduced. It was my intention to have presented a nutner- ously. sig- ned requisition to our worthy Mayor, to convene a Town Meeting, for the purpose of ap- pointing a Committee for the Management of the Funds of such Society; and by their arrangements I have no doubt universal satisfaction will be given. But T have been unfortunately prevented by his leaving town for London earlier than was expected. T « m Sir vnnr'c I'psnpol - m 11 vr LUDLOW lUtano jFoitc Mfposttorp. w.

I do not hesitate acknowledging that the ® 1 present Scheme is au Improvement upon mine, foi J! I in Addition to the Two £ 30,000 Prizes, there are Two of £ 20,000, and various other Capitals, and my Arrangement of not having Blanks is continued ; but the principal Feature in the New Scheme is, that some Persons must, for tbe trifling Risk of £ 4.10s. get the Two £ 20,000 Prizes, and all the other Capitals may be gained by an equally trifling Risk ; and for less than Ten Shillings £ 1250 must be obtained.— Schemes, with full Particulars of this advantageous Mode of Adventure, may he bad, gratis, at my Offices, where Tickets and Shares are on Sale.

The first fire brok£ out about ten o'clock 011 Monday night, in a tenement at the head of the Old Assembly Close. About eleven the flames appear- ed in the third flat, and spr. ltd with such rapidity, that before twelve the roof fell in, and the building presented' one terrific mass of liaise, and immedi- ately communicated to the adjoining premises near to the old Fish. market Close,' the fi/ » lflat of which is the publishing office of the Edinburgh Courant. The four front tenements occupy a space of one hundred and twenty feet iu length, and arfc in general six stories high. The buildings destroyed behind extend as far down towards the Cowgate. The engines continued playing during Tuesday forenoon, to keep the fire down, but a cry was soon heard that the spire of the Tron Church was in flames. The spire being composed of wood, it was sobu destroyed, and the fragments fell ou the roof of the Church, which escaped with little injury. This fire, was nearly subdued, when, about ton o'clock on Tuesday night, another broke out in a tenement at the south- east corner of Parliament, square, when the building, nine or fen stories high by three o'clock on Wednesday morning was coin pletely destroyed. So great was the alarm, that Sir William Forbes and Co. removed their books, and the Crown Officers took every precaution for the safety of the Parliament House and Court of Exchequer.— By the greatest exertions the flames were prevented from spreading to the west end of Parliament square, by which ttie Parliament House, the Advocates' and Writers' Library, and the Banking- house of Sir W. Forbes and Co. were saved from the imminent jeopardy iu which they had for some time remained. The tire, however, spread resistlessly iu the other direction, and by five on Wednesday morning all the eastern side ( if the Square, not consumed by the previous fire, pre- sented one huge burning tower, the beams crashing and falling inwards, and every opening and window pouring forth flame. Between eight and nine the tire began to slacken ; at this time the front gables of the houses in Parliament- sqare fell with a tre- mendous crash, and many persons were severely hurt, among whom were a dragoon and an artillery man. The greater portion of the larger properties are said to be insured.— Another alarm was given about two o'clock ou Wednesday afternoon, of a tenement in the neighbouihood being on fire: it was, however, quickly got under without much damage. " It is ( says the Edinburgh Courant of Thursday) totally impossible at present to form any estimate of the value of the property destroyed within these three days. That if is immense will he well supposed. Tiie whole range of buildings from Sir W. Forbes's bank down to the house below the Assembly Close ( between 60 and 70 yards below the Cross) is destroyed, with the single exception of the house in which Manning and Miller's shop ( now our printing office^ in situated. Two men were killed yesterday by the falling of some ruins ; a dragoon was carried to the Casile severely in- jured, and ten persons, dang- eronsl v hurt, are in the Royal Infirmary ; and we fear this list will only prove a beginning. From the extent of the pre- mises destroyed, the number of families that have suffered caiiuot he less than 300. Queensberry House has been obtained for Hie use of those who have been thus deprived of their homes." " Thursday forenoon, eleven o'clock. " We are glad lo understand that the fire is now completely extinguished. So far us we have he.. rd, no additional accidents have occurred."— Edin- burgh Courant. NORTON— SALOP.

The inhabitants of Ross have resolved ou apply- g lo Parliament for leave to erect a bridge at Goodrich Ferry, in opposition to fhe intended one at the Kerne, which they consider will have an in- jurious effect on fhe trade of Ross. Ala meeting of the Committee appointed for considering the plan proposed by Colonel Trench, for making a Quay on the north bank of the Thames, Ihe Duke of York in Ihe chair, it was considered that the project was perfectly practica- ble, and that while it embellished the metropolis, it would promote the health and comfort of its in- habitants. It was also resolved lo establish a Joint Stock Company, to be called the Thames Quay Company, to effect Ihe object, by raising a sum of £ 611,000, in shares of £ 100 each.

About a month since, a journeyman bookbinder, named Charles Harewood, called on Mr. Lucy, of Marlborough, representing himself to be in the greatest distress, and seeking employ. From charity Mr. Lucy took him into his house, clothed him, fed him, and continued to employ him until Tuesday last. In the morning of that day, during the absence of the apprentice, he told Mr. Lucy that. a gentleman wanted him immediately. Mr. L of course went; the fellow then sent the servant girl on some errand, and locked the front door after her. He now commenced ransacking the house ; he broke open a bureau, and stole fliere from two £ 10 notes, and £ 8 in other notes and sovereigns, with some silver. He broke the locks of a chest of drawers, aud took a large quantity < clothes, with all the silver spoons he could find and having done considerable other injury, got together all he could well carry, and made escape at the back door. Mr. Lucy aud the serv- ant girl returned before he had accomplished his villainy, and finding the door locked, rung the bell for some time. At last Mr. Lucy effected an en- trance into his house through that of a neighbour's ; when a scene of desolation presented itself. lie looked into his office, and not finding his journeyman there, immediately suspected him of the theft; aud on inquiry, found that the fellow had mounted one of the London coaches, which, at the moment, was passing through Marlborough. Mr. Lucy at once ii I red a post- chaise, and, accompanied by a friend, pursued the coach, which they overtook at Theale, between Newbury and Reading. The fellow sur- rendered himself and the property ; was taken back to Marlborough, where he has since undergone an examination, and is now fully committed for trial.— Devizes Gazette. i* iie safe of the remaining estates of the lata' Marquis of Ormonde took place at Ihe Auction Mart, London, oil Thursday and Friday last. The superb mansion of Sutton Hall, Derbyshire,' with an eslate ( abounding in coal and iron) which lets' for £ 5800 per annum, were sold for £ 210,000 to John Arkwrighl, Esq. the cotton- spinner,' of Man. Chester: the timber,' as on all Ihe other estates, is fo be paid for,' in addition, at a Palliation. The Chilcote estate, let at £ 2,200 per annum, with the adrowson, & c. were sold for £ 87,000 to Mr. Robinson, of Kingston, in Surrey. The Coton Park Farm, 281 acres, tithe- tree, adjoining the Chilcote estate; under lease till Lady day next at £ 290 per aimuii), was sold to H. Worlhinglou, Esq. a brewer in London, for £ 12,800'.— It was' staled at the sale that the late Marquis never rose his rents.— The whole of the eslates sold have pro- duced £ 482,432. 10s— Mr. Robinson, the gentle- man who purchased Chilcule, had brought with hiin to fhe sale- room, in his pocket. book, nine notes of £ 1000 each. He paid, as a' deposit for his purchase, £ 5000; and just at. the close of Ihe sale he had his pocket picked of ( he remaining £ 4000, with which the thief got clear off, Mr. Robinson immediately went over to the Bank to give notice of the robbei'y, and lo stop fhe payment of the notes. The person of Ihe man suspected lo be the thief is well known lo the police. Mr. Arkwiight, who purchased Ihe Marquis of Ormonde's park and mansion fo'r two hundred and sixteen thousand pounds, already possesses landed estates of nearly a similar description, for which tbe wealthy proprietor has given upwards of three hundred thousand pounds. Mr. Ark Wright and Sir Robert Peel are supposed to be the richest commoners in England.— Tbe wholeof the Ormonde estates recently sold by auction are said to have produced, including the timber, nearly one hundred thousand pounds beyond their estimated value. Surely the Chilcote eslate, with a fair annual ren- tal of two thousand two hundred pounds, could not be a cheap purchase at eighty- seven thousand pounds. MELANCHOLY EVENT— Thursday, the 28th ult.

CRUEL AND MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.— Tiie inhabitants of Boston, in Lincolnshire, have, within these few days, been greatly shocked by the dis- covery there of the murder of two female children, of the respective ages of 8 and 0 years ! The body of fhe first was found under a quantity of corn in a granary. The child had been missing since the Sih of February last! The long time- it had lain had entirely obliterated every feature : it presented, in- deed, nothing but skin and bone. The vermin had been very busy iu destroying the body, and bad eaten away the first joints of the fingers on One hand. There Were several distinct marks of blood on the clothes, fully proving Ihe committal of a rape ! But this was not the only mark of cruelty discovered: round the neck, aud rather inclining to the extremity of one of Hie ears, a mark was seen, caused by the light pressure of a cord, ' the body of the other child was found in nirte days after it had been missing, in a pit used for washing sheep, skins ; the clothes of the child and the right arm were strapped lo Ihe body above the middle. In both cases, Ihe Coroner's jury returned verdicts of Wilful Murder against a person or persons unknown. James Wilson, a cooper, of Milnthorpe, West- moreland, was found about noon on Saturday in his room, wilh his skull almost crushed to pieces. To conceal the act, the bed in which Ihe murdered man lay was set ou fire, and his feet and legs were shockingly burnt. It was ibis fire that led the neighbours to break into the house.

The learned counsel proceeded to state, that Mr. Kenrick, by his affidavit, positively denied that he had been actuated by any unworthy motive iu prosecuting Franks — asserted that he bore no ill- will towards him— that lie never tam- pered with his wife, but she wrought on his pity for her husband ; and that he abstained from pro- secuting by counsel merely from motives of commi- seration toward the prisoner. He ( Mr. Gurney) had affidavits respecting the character of Franks ; but iu the exercise ofj. iis discretion, he should for- bear to use them, as the man himself was not before the Court, and could not be heard in answer. The foundation being thus laid, libels followed in quick succession, purporting to be from correspondents, and to transmit subscriptions for the relief of the persecuted Franks. Whether these communications were genuine or 1101, Mr. Keurick could not say ; if they were fabrications, they, of course, deserved the severest censure; if genuine, they were still attributable to that feeling which the original writer bad created by gi- 0!% mis'¥ presentations, and therefore proved the success of his malignant exer- tions. Ou Ihe < tb of August ajiotifiealion appeared in the Morning Chronicle, that the editor had received ±' 5 and £ 2.' 2s. for Franks, which lie had transmitted to the gentleman who furnished the particulars already laid before the public, and some ludicrous remarks in derogation of the unpaid ma- gistracy, which was a favourite topic of abuse. At this period ( lie attorney for Mr. Kenrick made application at the office of the Morning Chronicle for the name of the author of the libels; time was taken < 0 consider of the demand ; and at last com- pliance was refused. The editor was then warned that the publications were libellous— that the state- ments 011 which they were grounded were untrue— and that, in ease of his perseverance iu such a course, legal measures would be adopted for tlie rotection of Mr. Ivenrick's character.

Williams moved for a rule, calling on George Harrison, Esq.. to shew cause why an in- formation in the nature of a qua warranto should mot be exhibited against him, for improperly exer- cising the functions of Mayor of Chester. The corporation of that city consisted of a mayor,- two sheriffs, and twenty, four aldermen ; and the mayor was to be elected from among the aldermen, and by the major part of them. Now, there were only seven aldermen present when the defendant was elected. The Lord Chief Justice.— There have been many questions raised as to the corporation of Chester; rs this one of the questions which have been already before the Court ? Mr. J, Williams replied in the negative; but observed, that he intended to object to the mayor also on the ground that he was not an alderman, for reasons which had been discussed in previous eases. The Court granted a rule to shew cause. [ A similar rule was obtained against Mr. John Harrison, for exercising the office of sheriff.] NOVEMBER IO. THE KMNG' V. FALKNER AND OTHERS. Mr. Taunton moved for a rule, calling oil several inhabitants of Chester to shew cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against them for riotous conduct at the late election of sheriffs for that city. The principal defendant, Falknerv was not a freeman ; but his conduct and that of Jiis associates was very- outrageous, and tended to impede the electors itvthe discharge of their duty. The Court granted a rule to shew cause. NOVEMBER 15. THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF J'OHN KENRICK, ESQ. V. THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Mr. Gurney moved for a rule, calling on William Jnnell Clement, printer, publisher, and sole pro. prieter of the Morning Chronicleto' shew cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against him. He made this application at the instance of John Kenrick, Esq*, a magistrate of the county of Surrey, aud who also filled the offices of Welsh Judge and Recorder of Dover. This gentle- man complained of a series of I ib" plsy inserted in the defendant's journal of the 3( 1, 4th, 5lh, 7th, 10th, 11th, and 24th of August, and continued at interval to a very recent period. Those libels were founded on a false account of a prosecution instituted by Mr. Kenrick some time ago, and were directed against him chiefly in his character of magistrate, and also embraced general reflections on the magis. Iracy of England, who were attacked through hi sides. Some time ago, Mr. Kenriek was impelled, hy a due consideration of his public duty, to pro secute a man named John Franks, for stealing elm plank from his premises in Surrey-. Franks, man in humble life, occupied a cottage near to the residence of M r Keurick, in Surrey, where a plank, the property of Mr. Kenrick, was found. On the discovery of the board, Franks was taken before a magistrate; the case was investigated j the wood was sworn to ; he was committed for trial at the sessions ; and the witnesses were bound over by recognizance to give evidence against him. As the sessions approached, the wife of Franks- applied to Mr. Kenrick, to entreat him to forego the prosecu- tion on account of his large family, who were dependent on his exertions for support. Mr. Ken- rick, feeling for the situation of the woman and' her children, wrote to the gaoler to inquire how Franks had conducted himself iu prison, in the hope that he in ght find grounds for recommending him to mercy. Having received an exceedingly good account of his behaviour, Mr. Kenrick intimated to Mrs. Franks, that if her husband would express his contrition, and plead guilty, he. would do all in his power to mitigate the sentence. This proposal was declined, on the allegation that the prisoner was a member of a benefit club ; and that if he were con- victed, be would be liable to expulsion, and would be deprived of all the advantages which otherwise he might, expect from that institution. Upon re- ceiving this answer, Mr. Keurick, from motives of " mere compassion, resolved to prosecute no further than he might be compelled by law ; and accord- ingly inquired what., witnesses were bound over. to appear. He found that one party, material to the ease, was uot bound over, and accordingly he fore- hore to send him to the sessions, and merely sent the two men whose recognizances had been taken With the same view he retained neither attorney nor counsel ; and consequently upon the trial there was no case for a conviction, and Franks was ac- quitted. Oil this transaction, the attack iu the Morning Chronicle was founded ; but in order to blacken the character of Mr. Keurick, by imputin^ to him the most base and criminal motives, it was studiously connected with another transaction of an entirely different nature which occurred some years before. At that time Mr. Kenrick was desirous of purchasing a cottage of Franks, which stood be tween two portions of his land. Franks declined to sell it; the matter dropped, and Mr. Kenrick had long since ceased to have any wish to become the purchaser of the premises. Yet the writer of these articles, for the purpbse of gratifying hi: own personal malignity, or of obtaining a pretext for vilifying the whole body of the magistracy to whom tiie country was so deeply indebted, repre- sented Mr. Kenrick as prosecuting a frivolous and unfounded charge against a'poor and friendless man, in order to obtain possession of a cottage which the owner had refused to sell. The first article, appeared in the Morning Chronicle of the 3d of August, and extended to considerable length The learned counsel here read the article, which represented the case as one of great oppression pri impression was made by this warning was manifest; for on the 10th of August, another letter, announc- ing a subscription in the same strain, appeared"; and on the 24th, a letter still more offensive. This letter purported to bear date at Betchworth, where Mr. Kenrick resided, and to refer to the lesson read in the church of that parish on the preceding Sun- day. The writer stated that the lesson was the 21st Chapter of the First Book of Kings, which contains the history of " Naboth's vineyard ;" that the resemblance between his case and that of Franks struck the audience— that all eyes were turned to the pew where the poor man sat, who was visibly iffected ; and the letter concluded with a. sug- gestion, that as the histories had been alike in their progress, they might have'- a resemblance also in their conclusion. The Lord Chief Justice.— Have you affidavits to bring home the publication to the individual against whom you move ? Mr. Gurney.— I have, my Lord, a copy of the affidavit filed'at the St amp- Office, pursuant to the statute. The Lord Chief Justice.— Then take a rule to shew cause. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 10. MONEY PENNY v. HARTLAND AND OTHERS This was nn action brought bv an architect against the defendants, who are the Committee of Management of a number of subsciibers at Tewkesbury, for the amount of his- demand for making the estimate of a new bridge which was to be erected over the river near that town. On the trial, which took place be. fore the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, it appeared that the expense of building the bridge very con siderably exceeded the estimate of the plaintiff, ii consequence of bis having mistaken the nature of the embankments at both sides, He, Or his agent, con- ceived that they were of rock, and required no piling and planking, whereas it turned out upon boring, that the rock was only at the surface. Il was proved also that the plaintiff had made for the same defend- ants an estimate for improving a road, which fell considerably short of the ultimate expense. Ou this evidence the plaintiff was nonsuited. Mr. Attorney- General now moved for a new trial, on the ground that the plaintiff was entitled to some compensation for his labour and expense in making the estimate for the bridge. It was extremely diffi cult before hand to ascertain the precise amount which a work of that nature would require, nnd it would be very hard on the plaintiff if he were to get no compensation for bis trouble, because the Com- mittee thought it necessary to exceed his estimate The Lord Chief Justice said, that he was'of opinion that the rule ought not to be granted. It was of great importance to public bodies, that surveyors and arch- itects who are employed by. them to make estimates, should be taught that they are bound to take reason able care in ascertaining the expense which was likely to be incurred. Had common diligence been used in this case, it would have been impossible that the plaintiff's estimate should have been so far below the real amount. He, it appeared, thought that he had a foundation of rock for the abutments of the bridge, and, on examination, it turned out that the rock scarcely went beneath the surface.—— Rule refused.

SAYINGS BANKS.— As the Act passed last Session of Parliament for the regulation of these hanks came into operation on the 20th of the pre- sent month, it may be useful to mention that during the first year after the 20th of November. I it is enacted, that no deposits from any person shall exceed £ 50, nor in any one year after, £ 30 exclusive of interest. No person is allowed to have more than £ 200 ( exclusive of interest) depo. sited in a Savings Bank; but deposits from Friendly Societies, legally established, may be re ceived without limitation in amount.— The con- struction of the 25th section of the Act having been misunderstood, it requires to be particularly adverted to:— After enacting that from the pass ing of the Act, no person, who shall have made a deposit in any Savings Bank, shall make a deposit in any other Savings Bank ; and that, after the 2Oth of November, 1824, every person desirous of making any deposit shall, at the time of making the first deposit, sign a declaration that he is not entitled to any deposit or benefit from the funds of any other Savings Bank, the clause proceeds, 44 and in case any such declaration shall not true, or if any person shall at any time have or hold, or be possessed of, any deposit or funds in more than one Savings Bank, every such person shall forfeit and lose all right and title to any deposit in or to the funds of any and every such Savings Bank." The Secretary of the Commis sioners for the Reduction of the National Debt considers that deposits belonging to any person remaining in more than one bank after the 20th instant, will be liable to forfeiture; all depositor who are so situated, arc therefore strongly recom mended immediately to take the proper means for confining their deposits to one bank. The auctioneer and a sweetener at a Mock Auction, have been sentenced at the Manchester Sessions, to twelve months* imprisonment, for fraud, in selling a worthless meta( watch for a gold one; another sweetener was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Ou Friday last, James Rlackham, Isaac Doiminff, Thomas fJorton, William Richards. and Jacob Shakespeare, were severally convictcd in the penaltry of forty shillings and costs baiting a hull at West Bromwich on the 1st and 2d of this month, and in default of payment, wer committed to Stafford gaol for one month.

IRELAND. CAPTAIN ROCK DETECTED. A book, having this title, has very lately ap pcared, of which the Editor of the British Critic observes:— " We are inclined to attach very considerable importance to the tinpretendiag duodecimo before us. It tells us more truth respecting- Ireland than statesmen could venture Jo publish ; or than prelates are permitted to proclaim. But even the unauthor- ized circulation of the important facts which are now for the first time disclosed, must attract the attention of every inquiring tniud, and turn the thoughts of the friends of Ireland into a very different channel from that in which they have been accustomed to ( low.-— The author, who calls himself a Minister Farmer, does not rate the celebrated- Catholic As- sociation very high: even the popularity of Mr. O'Connell is considered much of the same sort as that which is enjoyed by the Irish Champion, Langan. The Archbishop of Dublin's celebrated charge is vindicated by the Catholics themselves.— I wish it were possible, lie says, to convey even a faint idea of the little interest excited in the minds of the Irish people by the proceedings of this body, and indeed by the whole business of emancipation, of which the Catholic Board and their missionary • illy make such wonderful account. 1 will venture assert, that if a traveller, passing through the south of Ireland, were to dine at the house of every Roman Catholic gentleman on his way, and take notes as he went along of the number of places iu hich the question of emancipation was a leading topic of conversation, he would, perhaps, at the end of his iourney, find a blank for it; he vvpuld find very where something of local interest, some conn y concern, road . jobbing, treasury jobbing, oi unstable, jobbing;, the interesting, topics; and, if enquired about ihe merits of * the Association,' he wo. uld." fend its proceedings generally condemned, nd leain that it was permitted tp mismanage th bnsinessOit. undertook only because the interest of the Cathc'lic question has grown cold in people's minds, and because they had not sufficient regard for the Government to attempt relieving its embarrass- meats.— The cruel and depraved conduct of the Popish peasantry induces the Farmer to propose t^ e 1 lowing home questionsIt is very important to nquire how such a spirit has arisen amongst our people. It is an unnatural spirit, and evidently symptomatic of some secret influence, powerful nough to counteract all moral instincts, and to obscure all notions of justice and retribution, ish to write with all fairness and liberality, and though my leaning in forming a judgment is, a lu rally, towards mildness, yet I cannot but con- ' der, that the clergy of the Church of Rome are itally concerned in the answer to the question, how their flocks have become so demoralized? I do not by any means expect, that the exertions of a priest hood should be efficient in preventing all crime ; but ~ must think, that a clergyman is deeply responsible ir the notions entertained of crime amongst the people committed to bis charge. And if, amongst a people attending to his ministry, aud respecting his office, and believing iu the religion which he pro- fesses, there shall grow up an opinion, that the most monstrous crime is reconcileable with the exactments f religion, it is not uncharitable to suppose, that the principles inculcated, and the religion professed, by such a clergyman, are not in accordance with the law of God, or adapted to the exigencies of man's nature.-— When a maxim in opposition to the law of God is received amongst our peasantry, and the consequences of it are dreadfully apparent, it would become, in any case, a question, whether or not the clergy set themselves in array against it; but, from what has been said, the question becomes much more important when demanded with respect bo the clergy of the Church of Rome. What have the clergy of that church been doing, while theatrocions pirit of assassination was waxing strong in the minds of their peeple ? We were told, that they were assiduously engaged in instructing their flocks Copious accounts of schools and books, and systems of catechising, have been laid before the Public, For some years back, it would appear, the clergy have been particularly assiduous; and, during the time in which their zeal has been most apparent, the demoralization of their people has been most rapidly and most tremendously increased. Let any man compare the character of our peasantry of the present day, with what it was twenty years si nee,, iind I will venture to say+ that the history of the whqle world will ncft supply him with an instance of so awful a deterioration.— And yet while the peasantry are every day affording some horrible manifestation of the spirit that possesses tlVem, we hear ourselves ailed upon, by npthinking or unprincipled men, to offer the homage of our praise to their pastors! Tl priests we are told are doing every thing! But i what part of Ireland shall we look for the benefits derived from Ihe Roman Catholic priesthood But, he observes, the change in the sentiments of the peasantry,- is not the only one which I have observed. I see the gentry too, very much altered. I see that the notion of exclusive salvation has become the tenet of persons who would formerly have rejected it with abhorrence ; that the various exactments of the Church of Rome nre more rigorously complied with, and that there is a much greater aversion from being present at the worship of Protestants than could formerly be observed. This attachment to their religion will be developing and strengthening tself more and more in the Roman Catholic gentry, according as ihe persons educated at the newly established seminaries of the Jesuits, take their places as men in society. I speak the sentiments of dis- passionate Roman Catholics, when I say, that the religious rancour cultivated in these seminaries is very much deplored, and that the young men, whom they send into the world, go forth prepared not only to contend zealously for their church in argument, but, if opportunity offer, willing to defeod it. with other weapons.— He concludes, if the British Govern- ment, if the Irish landlords, are really anxious to serve this country, their course is plain. Give the Irish peasantry hope! let them be made to feel that it is in their power to better their condition, and they will soon become desirous of improvement. To give effect to the desire of improvement, I need not repeat, should be the great object of legislation; and how such an object can be attained where no hope exists it is not possible to imagine. Surely, none of those benevolent associations for bettering the condition of the poor, cani without such foundation to work upon, render any essential ser- vice ; nor can the political measures, which it is so much the passion of the times to contemplate, serve at present the important purposes for which they are desired. The perfect freedom of corporations might, certainly, extend more generally those com- mercial advantages which are now con lined to a chosen few ; the grant of Catholic emancipation might open places of honour or emolument to the Roman Catholic gentry; but the peasantry might as well expect wanhth from the stars, as hope to derive any benefit from a measure which could do little more than gild the very summits of society. Emancipation, as the agitators represent it, may be truly called ' a phan torn which only flies' before the people, Ho lure them to their doom.' If, at the present time, the thoughts and anxieties of reasoning men turn most constantly and with the greatest alarm to our agricul- tural population— our dense and miserable agricul tural population— surely it is not honest or prudent to hide from one's own eyes, or to attempt concealing from others, the great cause of evil and of appre- hension. The peasantry are without hope, except the hope of rebellion. And this is a hope which they would gladly exchange for a better;, but which will forever visit them in some shape or other, so long as their misery continues. Let them be made to feel, that industry, and frugality, and honesty, will serve their interests better than their present head- long courses, and then, the various associations will have energies to direct, and the measures of our Government will be freed from that embarrassment which must for ever impede them, so long as they are directed not against the cause of disorder in Ireland, hut against the symptoms of it.— Relieve the people from this misery, let in one cheerin hope upon them, and, in six months, I would defy ejects to society at large, and is daily productive of scenes repugnant to reason, and disgusting to persons of feeling and sense, of all persuasions. " BERNARD BURKE, R. C. Pastor of Westport. " P. GIBBONS, P. P. of Kilgiven. RICHARD GIBBONS, P. P. ofCastlebar. CHARLES KELLY, R. C. Curate." " 3d Nov. 1824." There are said to be more Private Bills in pre paration for the next Session of Parliament than e? er were known. A general meeting of the Roman Catholics of the city and county of YVaterford was held iu the Great Chapel on the 28th wit. the Right Rev. Dr. Kelly in the ' chair; when the1 following,' amongst other resolutions, were unanimously adopted :— 44 That every system of moral education intended for Roman Catholics, which has not for its basis their religious principles, must not merely be inoperative of good, but also productive of great and extensive | » evil to the community. 44 That the plan of educatioii sanctioned and sup- ported by the Kildare- street Association, and by the London Hibernian Society, being at variance with the religious principles of the people. of Ireland, we are determined to give its introduction into this part of the country the most decided and vigorous opposi- tion.— That as the system pursued by those Societies would appear to destroy the unity of our faith by destroying the authority of the Church, we take this public opportunity of expressing our firm and un- shaken attachment to its venerated Hierarchy, the faithful guardians and divinely constituted inter- preters of the sacred truths of revealed religion; and; as the persecution of past ages could not force them into any compliance unworthy of the dignity of their sacred character, we are thoroughly persuaded that they will not at any future period enter into any ar- rangements that could compromise the independence of their principles, or the purity of their religion.— That a Committee be now appointed to draw up a petition to Parliament, praying for the unqualified emancipation of the Roman Catholic subjects of these realms; and to embody in such petition an exposition of our principles on the subject of Bible reading, as well as a refutation of the gross calumnies which fanaticism and interested bigotry are so active in propagating- with respect to the moral and religions education of the poor of this country. 44 That it is highly expedient that there exist a permanent Committee, whose duty it will be to watch the proceedings of the Bible and Education Societies in this county and city. And as statements have been heretofore put forward by them, which were not warranted by fact, the permanent Committee are re- quested to take such measures as will ensure the early detection and public exposure of every false- hood which may hereafter appear in their periodical reports." At the Meeting of the Catholic Association, ou the 10th inst. Mr. O'Connell, their most eloquent aud most popular advocate, maintained that Catho- lic Emancipation should be their first great object; but Mr. Lawless, the Editor of an Irish Paper, called upon his countrymen to regard Catholic Emancipation as a mere secondary object, and to devote their whole energies for the present to Par- i liamentary Reform! Mr. Lawless further stated,' a reason why they should demand Parliamentary Reform, that the Smithfield Meeting ( of Messrs. Thistlewood and Co.) had testified a sympathy for the complaints of the Catholics, and of course wished them in return to support Annual Parlia- ments and Universal Suffrage ! On Sunday last, Mr. O'Connell visited Bray for the purpose of wheedling the poor Roman Catholic natives of the place, into a contribution to the great political humbug of the day, the Catholic Rent. It was contrived, as is usual upon these occasions, that a ruffianly mob should attend to add to the delusion, and to save thegrea£ leader's cattle, by dragging his carriage to the place of meeting, the Catholic Chapel. After the conclusion of the business at the Chapel, the crowd, which had assembled on the occasion, im- mediately proceeded to the Protestant place of wor- ship, during the time of Divine Service, where the whole party set up the most discordant yelis of derision and defiance, thus at once interrupting the devotions of the congregation, and insulting with brutal mockery the established religion of the State ! Several of the actors iu this atrocious scene were se- cured by the exertions of the police, and have been committed to gaol by Mr. Sands, a Magistrate of the county, aud agent to Lord Powerscourt.— Dublin Star. At a meeting of the Southampton Bible Society, Lord Ashtown said, 44 I cannot but lament, that id Ireland, from whence I am lately returned, re- ligious zeal is contaminated and disgraced hy the rancour of party spirit, by bigotry and intolerance. I regret to state that these bad passions have in- truded even into the Bible Meetings of that country, which ought to be sanctuaries and asylums for all Christians; and that they have been made the scenes of violence and outrage that cannot he too much lamented. I regret also to state that in Ireland the Roman Catholic Priests forbid their flocks to let their children attend those schools in which the Bible or New Testament is admitted. Expostulating lately with a Roman Catholic Priest on my estate iu Ireland, I was told by him that such were the orders he had received from his su- periors, and that he must obey them.— 1 have in my hand a document that throws some light on this subject, an extract of a circular letter from the Pope to the French clergy. It runs thus :— 4 You are not ignorant, venerable brethren, that a society, vulgarly called the Bible Society, audaci- ously spreads itself, over the whole earth ; and that, in contempt of the Holy Fathers, and contrary, to the decree of the Council of Trent, it exerts all its efforts, and every means to translate, or rather to corrupt, the lloly Scriptures into the vulgar tongue of all nations ; which gives just cause for fear that it may happen in all the other translations, as in those already known— namely, that we shall find in them a bad interpretation : instead of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, the gospel of man, or rather the gospel of the devil! Behold, venerable brethren, whither this society tends, which besides omits nothing to accom- plish its impious wishes, for it glories, not only on printing its translations, but even in going about in the towns, and distributing them among the people ; and to seduce the simple, sometimes it sells them, and sometimes, with perfidious liberality, gives them away.' 44 A mighty engine is now at work ; the education of the lower orders particularly in Ireland, fostered hy Government, makes a rapid progress ; and, not- withstanding- partial outrage, a general and gradual amelioration takes place. It is objected by some that education may be abused— I grant it. Like all other, the best gifts of PROVIDENCE, it may be abused ; but are we therefore to reject those gifts? Even religion itself, the Christian religion may be, and alas! too often has been, abused and perverted. We have had religious wars among statesmen and soldiers, and polemical divinity among gownsmen. That gospel which breathes the spirit of peace, long suffering, meekness, and good- will towards men, has been made a mask for am- bition, and a cause or pretext for murder and war. Utit a better spirit begins to prevail. I do trust and hope that long after I shall be laid in that grave, to which we all tend, and from which my footsteps cannot be far distant, that this and similar institutions may survive and flourish, and that they may be instrumental, in the hands of PROVIDENCE, for making us, in due time, one flock under one Shepherd." The Government of Ireland having so long tolerated , an Association with objetts subversive of the Pro- testant Establishments, it will, no doubt, hail with ' satisfaction the institution of a Society of Protestants drawn togetlrer by the alarm aud exigencies of the I times. Communications lo be addressed to the Office of The Star, 24, Parliament street, Dublin, until the necessary preliminarv arrangements be completed.

The following notice, sighed by the under- written Catholic Priests, has been posted through the town of Castlebar " We, the tfndersigned persons, request a meeting of the friends of religious education, on Friday, the 5th inst., at the Free School, near the chapel at Castlebar, to take into consideration the best means of promoting the education and religious instruction of the people, without having recourse to the un restrained reading of the Bible without comment or explanation, for that purpose. We are taught by history, and we know from, our own experience, that the reading of the Bible without comment or explana tion, and the practice and principle of each individual exercising his own judgment ou that sacred, mys- terious, and, in a great measure, incomprehensible Book% has been attended with the most misehierous Protestant Association of Ireland.

STAFFORD BARONY.— In the Court of King's Bench, on Monday, the cause of the King v. J. S. S. Cooke was called on for judgment, but the defendant having been unable lo leave bis room from indisposition, it was ordered to stand over for a week. The Brig Nancy, of Falmouth, Bowes, master, is stranded to the Eastward of Little Ormshead, laden with wheat and flour, the cargo is partly discharged though damaged, the mate and pilot were saved, but the master and two men perished. — The vessel is expected to be got off. Among the long list of shipwrecks and losses occasioned hy the late heavy gales, is that of the Dublin Ketchj formerly a packet at Holyhead, John Jones, master, which sailed from Milford for Amlwch, about a month ago. The ship's com- pany consisted of Captain, Mate, and four Sea- men; besides whom there were on board two passengers, young lads of respectable parents, who had been to South Wales on an excursion of plea sure, and were returning home in this vessel. She was seen on her passage between Milford and Holyhead, and has never beeu heard of since. FIRES.— On Friday evening, a fire broke out on the premises of a farm, called Hill Farm, at Broome, near Biggleswade, in the occupation of Mr. Barber. The flames spread with great rapidity, and in a few hours the whole of the buildings, with the except ion of the dwelling- house, became a prey to the devouring element. We are sorry to add eight fine horses and ten fat beasts, were destroyed in the conflagration, besides a great quantity of corn and hay. LEEDS.— On the 5th instant, about ten o'clock in the forenoon, the flax- mill of Mr. Moses Atkin- son, at the Bank, Leeds', took fire, and not with standing the prompt arrival of several engines, and the advantage of a plentiful supply of water, the Oames spread with such amazing rapidity that nearly the whole of the building was reduced to heap of ruins in less than two hours. The fire originated in the caruing- room in the top story, and was occasioned by the friction of part of the machinery. The room, which was full of work- people, chiefly children, was instantly in flames; but we are happy to state that they ail effected their escape, though not without considerable difficulty, many of them being obliged to leave their- clothes behind them.— The warehouse, en- gine- house, and a small portion of the mill were preserved, by the exertions of the firemen— It is thought that the loss will not be less than £ 10,000. — Between two and three hundred people have been thrown out of employment by this calamitous accident. On Monday night, about 8 o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out on the very extensive premises of Messrs. Wilkinson, upholsterers and cabinet makera, Ludgate Hill, London, by which those premises, with several others adjoining, were entirely, consumed. The loss is very great; and nearly all the working tools of the many persons employed by Messrs. Wilkinson were destroyed with the stock, as well as much of the furniture and stock of the adjoining premises. Early on Thursday morning, a dreadful fire broke out in the premises of Messrs.. Rolinson and Co. wholesale stationers, Dowgate Dock, London, by which those premises were totally destroyed, and other premises adjacent were much injured.- Same morning, another fire broke out iu the house of Mr. Blockley, a coffee- house- keeper, No. 6(>, Leadenhall. street, which destroyed that house, and also consumed or injured several other adjoining- houses. On the farm of Mr. Chatfield, at Horton, near Steyniug, while his men engaged in the plough were taking their lunch in the field, they placed their horses under a hedge to graze, but where they had not long been before it was observed that the tongue of one of the horses exhibited an unusual extension from its mouth, and was so much swelled that it could not be returned to its natural position, supposed to have been caused by the bite of a viper, whose venom was so active and power fill in its operation, that it baffled the veterinary aid that was cijUed in, and the poor animal soon died from its effects, apparently in great pain, and with its head Swohi to nearly three times its natural size.— Lew0 Journal. Horse stealing- in Essex, within the last six months, has been unparalleled, and amounts to loss of not less than from £ 2000 to £ 3000. The facility with, which they are disposed of by the thieves can only be accounted for hy the late dis- covery of ihe Magistrates of Mary- la- bonne Police- office; namely, that of exporting the horses stolen. A genealogical controversy has arisen in some of the South country Papers, respecting the lineal lescendants of the renowned Sir William Wallace. This honour has, it seems, been claimed for General Dunlop ; but a seemingly well informed writer on the subject has shewn that the claim urged for him is unfounded, and that Sir Charles Ross, of Bal- nagown, Bart, is by his descent from the Baillies of Lamington, the genuine lineal descendant and representative of the great Scottish hero and patriot. Inverness Journal. CURE FOR BLISTERED FEET.— Capt. Coch. rane, in his Travels in Russia, says :— On the last day's march I feiTin with one of Napoleon's soldiers. He was a lively and even serviceable companion, for upon complaining of my feet becoming blister- ed, he communicated to me as a secret, a mode of cure which I have never found to fail. It is simply to rub the feet at going to bed, with spirits mixed with tallow dropped from a lighted candle, into the palm of the hand. On the following morning no blisters will exist ; the spirit seems to possess the healing power, the tallow serving only to keep the skin soft and pliant. The soles of the feet, the ancles, and insteps, should be rubbed well; and even where no blisters exist, the application may be usefully made as a preventive. Salt and water good substitute; and, while on this head, I would recommend foot travellers never to wear right and left shoes; it is a bad economy, and indeed serves to cramp the feet. Theexotic plant, Reneaimia Nutans, which so rarely blossoms out of its native clime, ami to pro- duce whose blossoms by artificial means has long been a desideratum with horticulturists, ha: flourished in great perfection in the hot- houses at Ammerdown, during the whole of the late summer. The plant measures about 12 feet in height, and consists of 21 branches, the largest of which exceeds 4 inches in circumference. Early last summer the gamwkeeper to the Duke ofBuecleuch and Qneensberry, having heard that numbers of hawks and gleds roosted and bred about the craggs of Glenvvhargen, and having no great brow of his winged rivals, he resolved to act on the maxim of Knox—" that to harry their nests is the best way to banish the crows," He did so, though a few stragglers still remained, the herds at Glenwhargen made a sad complaint of the de- vastation occasioned by the moles, which were every where mining and rutting the pastures to the great detriment of the poor sheep. In this emer- gency the gamekeeper advised them to catch young hawk, and tether him by the leg in a spot where the old ones might approach unscared. The hint was taken, and during the first week no fewer than 80 moles were killed, and their skins and car- cases placed within the reach of the youthful bird of prey. The experiment was tried during several weeks, and every day the feathered prisoner had plenty to eat, though the numbers at last diminish- ed so rapidly that the land w » « thought to be entirely cleared* On Mondaj', the 8th instantj Was rung at St. John's Church, Bromsgrove, by a band of junior performers of the Union Society of that place, a peal of 5040 plain bob triples in three hours and fifteen minutes, being the first peal in that method ever rung on those bells. The peal was composed and conducted by Mr. R. Pearce. On the same day was rung al Saint Thomas'* Church, Stourbridge, by the Stourbridge ringers, e complete peal of 5040 bob majors, in three hours and seven minutes. ' Phis peal was rung in com- memoration of that day fifty- one years since, when was rung a 10,080 bob major in the same church. Mr. Dovey, one of the ringers who rung on Monday, rung also the tenor on the same day in 1773. The late peal was conducted by Joseph Doodev. A dispenser of medicine iu one of the principal towns in Suffolk engaged a shop which was lately • occupied by a linen- draper, and in the hurry of removing, omitted to erase from his door the notice of his predecessor," Funerals furnished." The collection of Marshal Souk was lately the subject of conversation at an evening party at a celebrated French Minister's in Paris, and one gentleman observed that it was infinitely more rich than the Duke of Wellington's. " Ah!

Some years since, the parishioners of St. M ichael, Coventry, probably imagining lhat the Dragon had been long enough at the feet of their Patron Saint, and ought to have an ascendancy in his turn, agreed at a Vestry Meeting that a dragon of copper of considerable magnitude, gilt, should be placed at the ( op of the spire. They, however, soon discovered that serious damage was to be apprehended from the weight of the gilded idol, and therefore ordered that a plain vane and globe, not exceeding twenty pounds - weight, should be substituted. Soon after, the fabric was supposed in danger by the introduction of some additional bells, when a wag observed, " that the good people of St. Michael's were sacrificing their Church to Bell and the Drarjon. y> Some spouteis held a meeting at a public- house ; one of them, duringa ranting speech, by too much action, broke a large looking- glass. The landlord insisted on remuneration, while the other contended that all accidents in the green. room w ere overlooked by the managers, and confidently bade him " Ask Roscius in the Chair, if that was not an established rule." " D— n Rogers and you!" rejoined the landlord, " I will be paid for my property." Such an indignity lo the stage- struck heroes created uni- versal uproar. The landlady ran for the constable. Alexander made his escape; but poor Hamlet, who had given the landlord a black eye, was secured. The constable griped him by the collar, and was hurrying him off to prison, when he roared out with becoming emphasis, " Perdition catch thee I I prithee take thy fingers from my throat— lam Hamlet the Dane!" 44 Ah, truly," said the con- stable, 44 but were you a Christian instead of a Dane, you must go to St. Martin's watch house." At Retford Session, William Cutts was arraign- ed for stealing 44 a candle," value 44 one penny." After the examination of two or three witnesses, one of whom stated that the 41 candle" had been burning some time, a junior counsel of promising talent, rose and begged to suggest that a legal objection might be taken, as the indictment charg- ed the prisoner with stealing 44 a candle," whereas it was now proved to be only 44 a part of one.'''' This flaw eventually proved fatal to the indictment,, and the prisoner was discharged.
