Pectoral Essence of Coltsfoot. npH E llerl) Coltsfoot has long- been dis- H. tiitgii. isbed. 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 ali Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens tbe 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 provokes 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 and Soreness of the Chest. This Pectoral Essence is prepared by JAMES RYAN, Surgeon, in Bristol; and Sold in Bottles at 3s. Cd. each, by F.

CAPTION.— Mrs. Marshall, Widow of the late John Marshall, begs to inform th, e Public, that an Ointment in Imitation of her valuable Cerate has lately made its Appearance, by which many Persons have . been deceived. The Colour of the Ointment is nearly similar to her Cerate ( very generally known by the Name of MARSHALL'S UNIVERSAL CERATE), and the Directions, copied nearly Word for Word : there can be no Doubt, therefore, of the Attempt to impose by Deception, as the Directions to her Cerate have not been altered for Forty Years, during which Time the superior Excellency of this Cerate has produced so large and extensive a Sale as to induce some Persons to send forth Preparations for similar Complaints. Purchasers are therefore particularly requested to observe'that Mrs. Marshall's Genuine Cerate will have her Name alone on the Label : " E.

JOHN WILLIAMS, Clerk to tbe Trustees of the said Turnpike Rouds. Shrewsbury, 9th Dec. 1924. LONDON— SATURDAY* T he Speech of Ihe . French King, so anxiously looked for yesterday, arrived 111 town last night by express. It i?, IU every point of view$ A most satisfactory document, and corresponds with the general expectation that prevailed as to what would be its tenor. ATtei' dwelling upon the decease and virtues of the Sale Monarch, his Majesty proceeded to advert to the usual topics, vi#. the external and internal affairs of the kingdom. The fortueJ he described to be pacific, the latter flourishing. The condition of Spain was, of course, alluded to; and the prolongedr; occupation of that country by a part of the Fieuch aiiny, is stated to arise from a de sire to maintain that peace which now so happily exists throughout, Europe. 4> A recent convention," observed the King, " has regulated the condition of this temporaly measure^ which is calculated to conciliate the interests of the two monarchies." The proposed indemnity to the emigrants will be ac complished without any augmentation of taxes, and without any danger to public credit. The delivery of the speech was received with loud acclamations. The Coronation of his Majesty is to take place at the close of the Session, probably about the . month of May or June. SHREWSBURY.

O'CONNELL.— The Dublin Freeman's Journal of Wednesday last, says— u Mr. O'' Council was held to bail on Monday evening, lo answer a charge of uttering seditious expressions at the Catholic Association. The pro secution is instituted by the Attorney General, and the Chief Magistrate of Police, Alderman parley, was the person to whom the duly of placing Mr. O'Counell under recognizances was confided. No- body could have discharged it in a more correct or gentlemanly manner." The following are the words which form the ground of the charge against Mr O'Connell :-— " Nations have been driven mad by oppression ; he hoped that Ireland would never be driven to re- sort to the system pursued by the Greeks and South Americans, to obtain their rights; he trusted in God they would never be so driven ; lie hoped Ireland would he restored toiler rights; but if tha day should arrive; if she were driven mad by per secution, he wished that a new Bolivar may hi found — may arise— that the spirit of the Greeks, and of the South Americans, may animate tin people of Irelaud." From private letters received by the Cambridge East Indiaman, it appears, that the Burmese war has assumed a more serious character than was anticipated. The 20th regt. bad been dispatched from Bombay, the 47tb was under orders for Ben- gal, and the government had advertised for ships to convey them. Several skirmishes were known to have terminated, for the most part, to the ad- vantage of the Burmese, and with some loss to our troops Sir Edward Paget was to take the field as Commander- in- Chief, with 25,000 men, as soon as the season opened. A Burmese Chief bad been tampering with Runjeet Sing, endeavour ing to excite him to rebel against our Indian Go vernment, as soon as a favourable opportunity should offer. An addition of ten thousand fresh troops from England will, it is said, be required effectually to terminate the war, of which the pro- liable duration is calculated at no shorter period than three years. The latest date at Bombay of advices fiom Bengal is the27th of July, and from Madras the 3d of August, A Company has just been formed, for working the great Silver Mines of Pasco, in Peru, with a capital of £ 600,000. Serious Accident at Drury- lane Theatre.- On Wednesday evening last, just at the conclusion of Guy Mannering, the rope that suspended the iron balance ( of three hundred weight J to the drop curtain gave way, and the ponderous mass fell 60 feet, bearing ail before it through the floors to the bottom of the stage. It grazed the side of one person, and a large piece of timber fell on Miss Povey's head, and wounded her severely. She was of course incapable of performing in the new farce, and Miss Carr read the part. A moment later, and Miss Stephens, with several others, who were running into the Green- room, might have met with most dreadful injury, if not death. Miss Povey is better, although still suffering considerably.

As there is reason to believe that the existence of an Incorporated Society for the Propagation of Ihe Gospel in Foreign Parts, as distinct from that denominated the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, is very generally unknown, we are requested to insert the following general and brief view of its origin and present circumstances— The Society was originally incorporated in the year 1701, for the support of an orthodox body of Clergy in his Majesty's Colonies, and the general diffusion of Christian Knowledge among the recent settlements of North America; and accordingly its operations were for many year's confined to lhat quarter of the globe; and since the acknowledge- ment of the Independence of the United , States have been necessarily limited to the. proviuce^ now in connexion with Great Britain. T he Population, however, in these provinces, has of late years in- creased to such an extent, that the Society has found it necessary greatly to enlarge the number of its missionaries, as welias to support a large body of schoolmasters. Another source of expenditure has been opened to the Society, in the extended colonization of the Southern parts of Africa, and in the interior of New Holland. To meet these great aud increasing demands, the resources of the Soci- ety are found totally inadequate, notwithstanding the liberal aid they have obtained from Parliament- ary grants. They have already been under the necessity of reducing their Capital Stock by the sale of £ 23,000 3 per Cent. Consols. The Collec tions under the authority of the Royal Letter in j 1819 are appointed to the exclusive uses of the Bishop's College at Calcutta, and the Establish- ments connected with if, but will fall far short of what is required. Under these circumstances, the Society are most anxious to circulate authentic, de- tails of the nature and extent of their proceedings, with a conviction that the British Public will not fail to view the Corporation as an unexceptionable depository for their charitable contributions towards the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The Secretary of the Salop District CpVpmittee is the Rev. W.

Consul! opened this morning at 95j 96 for Ihe Account, with little doing;.—{ Holiday at the Bank.] The interior of the extensive manufactory of Mr. Bradford, patent varnished leulher- iuauufucturer, Spa- Fields, was consumed by fire, on Friday night. The Lady East, now lying in Falmouth harbour, has on board 210 convicts bound for New South Wales. A number of these ruffians formed the project of overpowering the crew, liberating their fellows, and after running the vessel ashore, making their escape. On Wednesday night, about 40 of the most desperate contrived to saw off their irons, and made towards llie place where the arms are deposited. Fortunately, the watch heard the hustle they made, and gave the alarm, and the villains were prevented from executing their p- nrpose, aud secured. The discovery was made most op- portunely, for a few minutes more would have put Ihrmin possession of nuns, when there is no doubt they would have butchered the whole of the crew. The ringleaders were flogged on Thursday, and every precaution has been taken to guard against a similar attempt. AURKST OK MR. O'CONNELL— Mr. O'Con nell'a Irish apologists assert that he never used the words imputed, or attempt to shuffle out of their obvious meaning ( see above J. Saunders's News Letter— from which the pas- sage in question has been quoted, has, however, in its own vindication, by collecting aud collating the reports of its contemporary journals, put for. ward a . mass of proof which seems to overturn completely this ground of defence. The Morning Post and the Morning Register, both violent Catholic papers, the last said to have been set up specially by Ihe Association, both concur nearly to the letter with Saunders's report, as does also the Morning Star, a journal of better politics. The Freeman's Journal, a Roman Catholic paper, omits Mr. O'Connell's speech altogether ; aud the Dublin Evening Post, ridiculously called by the Association " the paper of their hearts," and avowedly conducted by a Very shrewd and zealous Roman Catholic Gentleman, who was, we believe, lately Ihe efficient Secretary of that body, passes it over in the following phrase, which most people will understand as a clear confession that Mr. O'Connell'- did use Words nut altogether safe to lie reported :—" After A FEW WARM on SF. BVATIONS, Mr. O'Conuell concluded, & c." Mr. O'Connell has siuce attended the Catholic Association, and made a motion to institute a pro secution against Ihe Courier Evening Paper, for a libel on Maynooth College, Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. James Matthews:— House- Visitors, John Eaton, jun. Esq. and John Beck, Esq. Last week, Earl Grosvenor gave two fine oxen and a cow among the poor in the vicinity of Eaton Hall. At a late vestry meeting, the majority present of the parishioners of St. Alkmond, in this town resolved to unite with such of the other parishes as bad determined lo apply for a repeal of the Act by which the several Parishes of this town arc at present incorporated. We regret to say, that the old established and respectable banking firm of Messrs. Prodgers and Co. of Ludlow, stopped payment on Wednesday last. Oil Sunday morning last, the body of John Mausell, who was unfortunately drowned near the Welsh Bridge, oil Sunday, the 1- ltli of November, in bis humane and successful attempt to rescue a child from a similar melancholy fate, was^ iscovcred floating in the river, near the Brewery, in Ibis town. A boat being immediately procured, the corpse was taken out of the water, and an Inquest, having been held, it was interred on Monday. We regret to state that, owing to Ihe recent heavy rains, the river Severn on Thursday last overflowed its banks, and flooded the suburbs and out. skirts of this town in an alarming manner. The flood continued at a great height until Sunday last, when it began gradually to recede. The result of this and two similar very recent visitations has been the infliction of much inconvenience, and, in many instances, great distress, to a number of poor families. The Prisoners in our County Gaol beg to express their thanks to A Lady, for a Donation of One Guinea ( received through the hands of the Rev. ' 1'. Stedmau), to be expended ill Coal. VAI. UAELE INFORMATION TO THF. PUBLIC, AND CAUTION TO CARRIERS,— Last week, a • espectable Coach Proprietor in this town was convicted, before the Hon. and Rev. Rd. Hill and Thomas Kynnersley, Esq. in the penalty of £ 5, with costs, for charging more than Is. and 10d. for the carriage of a parcel of less than laibs. weight from London to this town.— The defence set up was that the parcel was conveyed by a Bir- mingham Coach, and that Is. and ( id. was paid thereon at Birmingham : but the Magistrates de- cided that Coach- Proprietors cannot by any ar- rangement between themselves evade the order of Magistrates fixing the Rules of Carriage.— It was also intimated, that there was no appeal from Ihe Magistrates' Conviction.— This decision is very important to the Public, as it insures ail easy aud effectual remedy for Overcharges of this descrip- tion, by giving the penally to the person over charged. The Quarter's Revenue is likely to lie greatly beyond the corresponding quarter of last year, Both the Excise and Customs have been par- ticularly productive. IRISH EXPORT TRADE IN DEAD BODIES.— In our Journal of the 8th insl. we recorded the proceedings of I wo Inquests held in this town on the preceding day, on the bodies of a male and a female unknown, which bad been packed in separate boxes, and forwarded by coach from Holyhead, directed to " Messrs. Smith and Co. to be left al Aspin's Warehouse, Morgan's Lane, Tooley Street, Southwark, London," with K packet ticket nailed ou each box, stating lhat they were " From Thus Widiams's Steam Packet Parcel Office, 53, Lower Sadtville Street, Dublin." The paragraph was copied from our Journal into the London Papers, and thence into the Dublin Papers, where attracted ( as was very natural) Mr. Williams's particular attention. The Dublin Morning Post says, " In consequence of the exertions made by Mr. Williams to discover the person who sent them to his house, a Mr. George Pearson, surgical student of Bartholomew's Hospital, London, was taken into custody ifi Stephen- street, yesterday evening. He has been fairly identified as Ihe person who came lo Mr. Williams, under Ihe name of Smith, respecting the conveyance of the boxes, which were afterwards sent accompanied by a note signed " J. Smith." Mr. Pearson has admitted that he was the person who sent Ihem. He is fully committed lo take his trial for the offence." AS USUAL. The TWENTY THOUSAND POUND PRIZE, No. 15,301, drawn on Thursday last, Kith Instant, was sold in Shares by BISH, at his fortunate Offices, No. 4, Cornhill, and 9, Charing Cross, Loudon, and by his Agents in the Country. Well inav B1SH, in all his Advertise, ments, say " AS USUAL," for there never happens a drawing, but his Ofliees stand pre- eminent; for example," he sold No. 15,301, the £ 20,000, last Thursday; No. 15,756, the £ 30,000, drawn Ihe 3d November; Nos. 699 and 15,556, both £ 20,000 Prizes, the 5lh October, making Four princely Capitals in the short space of three months, besides an immense number of minor Capitals, too numerous to insert; and he'hopes, on Friday next, the 31 st Instant, to add to the above splendid list, by selling one or both the Two £ 30,000 Prizes now in the Wheel, and which must be drawn lhat day; and, in fact, not ly the Two £ 30,000 Prizes, but every other Capital— every other Prize— every Ticket— and every Share, must then be entirely decided, as the Lottery and Contract finish that day. A few undrawn Tickets and Shares arc selling at BISH's Offices, London; also by Mr. R. JONES, Cheesemonger, Shrewsbury, and by his other Agents iu this County. CHIRBURY, SHROPSHIRE. To he Sold b]/ Private Contract, ALL that valuable and improveable FREEHOLD ESTATE, situate in the Parish of CHIRBURY, in the County of Salop, comprising MIDDLETON HALL and sereral oilier Messuages or DWELLING HOUSES, with the FARMS, Lands, and Appurtenances to the same respectively belonging, containing in the Whole by Admeasure- ment 476A. 111. 24P. or thereabouts, and now in the several Occupations of Thomas Crumpton, EdwardCowles, Richard Meltings,' Thomas Rogers, John Rowlands, Richard Humphreys, and Thomas Gurley. The Farm Houses and Buildings on the Estate are in convenient Situations, and several of j them have been lately put in Repair. TheCotnmon Right appurtenant is unusually extensive ; the Lime Rocks are valuable ; aud it is believed that there are Lead Mines which maybe opened at a small Expense.

The time is now approaching when the question at issue between the Landed Interest and the Spe- culators on this Rail- Road must he decided by Par- liament. It is a question of much importance, and you Gentlemen who are so materially interested in it, must not sit idle while your opponents are straining every nerve to secure success to their mea- sure. If you wish to prevent your fields being parcelled out and divided, and torn from you as may suit the convenience of strangers if you vVish to preserve your parishes from an inundation of vagabonds and your farm- yards from pillage ; — if you wish that your cattle should be allowed to pasture, as they are wont, peaceably and quietly ; — then you will feel the necessity of uniting with your neighbours and fellow- sufferers, and will lose no time in defending your properties and securing your comforts against the probable effect of this new and portentous me& sure. Prepare a Petition to Parliament-— circulate a short and clear statement of the injuries apprehended, to the Members of the House— and let each individual residing upon the line of the Rail- Road marked out, exert all the influence he may have, to counteract and defeat the intended project. When the Members of the House shall be reminded of the difficulties and the privations which the Agriculturists had to struggle with so lately, and from which they are nOw gra- dually emerging, they will surely listen favourably to your representations, and hold forth a prelecting arm to guard you effectually from the injuries with which you are menaced. That your effort may be successful is the earnest wish of SALOPIENSIS. December 21, 1824. SALMON, MR. V AUG H AN, AND Mim* wmmzim* FLUTE, Mr. CARD, from the Bath Concerts. Fiolonccllo, MR.

ROBBERV OF THE STIRLING BANK.— Satur- day evening the Stirling. coach was robbed of a bank bag, containing money to a considerable amount ( said to be £ 10,000). The robbery must have been effected wilh great dexterity, as the bag was de- posited in the box immediately under the feet of the guard, who is never at any time above a minute or two absent from it. The police are on the alert in various directions, in search of the thieves. The following acfcpuiit of the apprehension of one of the supposed robbers is from a private letter, dated York, December - 21:—" A few minutes before we left Newcastle, say two o'clock, a chaise and four arrived from the south. From its speed several people flocked round, and I recognized iu the inside, a friend, Mr. E., of the Bank of Scotland, in Edinburgh. My imagination was immediately exerted, and I had only time to put a few queries, of which Ihe first was, ' Where did you get him?' He informed me at Thirsk, 20 miles northward of York, in his bed. At two o'clock yesterday, the robbers had the honest audacity, to the utter astonishment of the inhabitants of Edinburgh, to pay Smith, the stabler, £ 40 for the gig they had destroyed on Saturday. There is no doubt now Ibis was lo save pursuit of the principal, who bad quietly, as lie thought, dropl at Thirsk, probably to proceed across to Liverpool, or some other port. The Bank of Scotland have lost £ 2,500, by stolen notes." Placards are stuck about Hammersmith for ihe apprehension of Edward Caygill Lee and William Ballard, late linen- drapers, mercers, & c. of that place, and'of Breiitford, recently declared bank- rupts. The shops in question had an extraordinary run of business, especially that in Hammersmith, during the short time of its being open, owing to the excellence of the articles and the cheapness of the prices. They soon became bankrupts, but the persons themselves were not to be found, nor goods to the amount, it is imagined, of £ 10,000! The placards enter into extensive particulars, represent- ing that it bad come to the knowledge of the assignees' that the bankrupts bad clandestinely and feloniously removed in the night, at different times, and by different means, by carriers, by waggons, and by barges plying on the River Thames, linen- drapery, mercery, & e. lo the amount of several thousand pounds. The bills likewise add, that it lias come to the knowledge of the assignees that large quantities of the goods are still concealed in the neighbourhood of Hammersmith ( there are some known " receiving" houses on the bank of the Thames); and that iliey will give a reward of twenty per cent, un all goods that may be recovered by information. This is in addition to the re- ward offered for securing ihe bankrupts. While in the Hammersmith shop, they carried on some extravagant proceedings; not merely having large quantities of excellent goods, but superior furni- ture ; and the latter they deposited in neighbours' houses under the pretence that all their rooms were wanted to prepare numerous packages for foreign orders. These things. were immediately communi- cated to the creditors, the bankrupts' having so suddenly, but not quite unexpectedly, disappeared. The last time they were, seen was soon after mid- t, by. some people belonging to the Windsor Castle lav- ern, about to get into a post- chaise.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, [ FROM THE LEEDS INTELLIGENCER.] The follow ing is an extract of a letter from one of I he first merchants of Colombia, dated Caraccas, 2d of November:— In this boasted Republic we have already some things which make an Englishman feel that, he is not exactly upon British soil. The reinforce- ment for Bolivar's army in Peru caused much con- sternation amongst us, by the recruiting for officers and men for the expedition. Many of the English and other foreign officers, who were in liopi- s of returning home to their native countries, with their honours and without money, were again ordered to | join the army. I am acquainted with several re- spectable men who have been fighting for this country for the last nine years, and up to this time they have not received more than 200 dollars for their services. . Here you see English and Irish citizens wandering about, the streets with wounds received in the wars of the Republic, living on the charity of the public. There are about 20!) regular soldiers stationed in the city of Caraccas, and the patrol at night has generally been composed of theill; at present the citizens and foreigners take an active part, and every square has to furnish so many men to. undertake military duties; besides ibis, a ml! it. in has been raised, composed of every male from IS to 35 years of age, and this includes citizens and foreigners of every description, so that no merchant, whether Colombian, American,* or British, can escape this conscription, very little At an ordination held in Lichfield Calliedrtil, by the I ." ril Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, on Sunday, the 19th instant, the following gentlemen were admitted into holy orders:— Priests Rev.

Hassell, II. A. Trinity College, Oxford; and James William Hatberell, B. A. St. Alban Hall, Oxford.— Previous to the ordination, which was conducted Willi great solemnity, the Bishop preached an excellent and appropriate, discourse, from St. Paul's 1st Epistle to the Coriiitliians, chap. XV. verse 10: " But by the grace of God I am what 1 am : and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but 1 laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, bul the grace of God which was with me," CHESTER REPRESENTATION — In the course of last week we were informed, on an authority, which, if not absolutely infallible, was most highly respectable, that it is the fixed purpose of Mr, Houldswortb, Ihe great Manchester col ton spinner, and who is well known here as an eminent spoi ling gentleman, to offer himself as a candidate for the cily of Chester, at the next general election, in conjunction with Sir John Egerton, in opposition to the Grosvenor and Corporation interest. Mr. Houldsvvorth, who is reputed one of the wealthiest men in Lancashire, is at present member for Ponlefract, where he has introduced extensive cotton manufactories, and where his parliamentary interest is now predominant. Onr information further stales, that in ihe event of his success in his Chester contest, he intends erecting cotton works within the liberty of our city, and will resign his seat for Poulefract, in favour of his brother. We just give Ihe story as we have heard it, rcpealin., our first remark, that the quarter from whence it came is entitled to no inconsiderable degree of credibility.—('/ tester Courant.

FIRE,— About five o'clock on Wednesday after- noon a fire broke out in the premises of M Thorneley, pawnbroker, in Long Mitigate, Man- chester. It began in the bottom slorv, and the wind being ralher high at ihe lime, Ihe flames soon raged with violence, threatening Ihe adjoining houses with destruction. The fire- engines at tended with their usual promptitude ; but before they arrived the devouring element bad made considerable ravage. However, being well sup plied with water, from the Walerworks pipes, they soon arrested the progress of the flames, and ibe damage was confined lo ibe premises in which Ibe fire originated. So effectually did the engines play, that they literally deluged the building with water, and by about seven o'clock Ibe surrounding houses were considered to be out of danger. We understand the premises and slock were insured. From Ibe rapidity of Ibe fire, liltie or no property- was saved. Tlie inconvenience aud loss to vaiious parlies who had clothes and other articles pledged in the premises will be very severely fell, as they cannot, we understand, recover any part of then alue. The property was insured with the Nor- ich Union Fire office by Mr. Thorueley for £ 1300 in July last.— The account books are injured, so that they are scarcely legible, if at all so. ROBBERY AND MURDER.— On Wednesday afternoon lasl, Ihe cottage of a labourer of the name of Edward Spencer, situated in the parish of Bushbury, on the road leading from Wolver- hampton to Cannock, was entered by some villain or villains, at present unknown, and who, not content wilh stripping ihe premises of all Ihe .- earing apparel they could find, barbarously mur- dered bis wife, a female nearly seventy years of ge. The poor woman, it appears, had been I fetch water from a neighbour's, a few hundred ai ds distant, where she remained nearly an hour ; nd it is supposed that the ruffians, not having left the cottage on her return, murdered her lo prevent detection. It is evident the horrid deed was perpetrated io the kitchen, wilh Ihe instru- ment employed iu forcing open the door, and that Ihe body was afterwards dragged up stairs, where it was found. About eight o'clock on Sunday morning se'miight, an apartment, which has recently been added to ihe palace, al F. ccleshall, Hie residence of Ihe Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry,, was discovered to be oil fife. Happily, the Sanies were speedily cheeked by ihe use of the town engines; not, however,, until the floor of the, rooru had been consumed, ft is supposed that a female servant, who had occasion early in the morning to enter the room in which the fire broke out, ful- some shavings, incautiously dropped the horning snuff of a candle upon the Iteap from which she took her supply. Two men are in custody in this city on suspicion of horse- stealing. One, who says bis name is Taylor, was apprehended oil Wednesday with a horse in. his possession which was stolen. On llie night of Thursday, the Ifitli insi. flora a field in the neighbourhood of Bromyard ; the other, a q'ues. tionable- IAoking personage, named John Barnes," was observed, by our police, with a horse. of which lie appeared any. thing but Ihe right owner, and not being able lo give a satisfactory account of himself or the steed, both are detained until further enquiries can be made.— Since writing the fore- going, we understand that a baud bill has Ibis f morning been received by Orchard, offering a re- ward of ten pounds for Ihe apprehension uf a man' named Barnes, giving a description exactly cor- responding wilh the above person, and charging him with having stolen a horse, the marks of which as desriibed iu il, the horse found in his possession bears, and which was stolen on Tuesday night last from the yard of Mr, John Corfu- Id, a" t Deriteml, Birmingham.— Worcester Herald. WHEN TO LEAVE OFJ- DRINKING—: When you feel particularly desirous of having another glass, leave off; you have had enough. When von look al a distant object, and appear lo see two, leave off; you have had too much. When you knock over your glass, spill your yfine upon the table, or are unable lo recollect Ihe words of a song you have been in Ihe habit of singing for the last dozen years, leave the company ; yon are gelling troublesome. When you nod in the chair, fail over Ihe hearth- rug, or lurch on your neighbour's shoulder, go to bed; you are drunk.— The Economist. The Exciseman Outwitted.— A few days since Exciseman called at the house uf a good- humoured landlady, residing within a hundred miles of Ensham, she consulted him about some liquor that had been deposited in her cellar without a permit. At the words— without a permit, Ibe Exciseman rushed below, and soon found himself up lo the middle in water! It is needless lo add, that be made no seizure of the liquid which Ihe late heavy rains bad forced into the cellar wiihuut an excise warranty.— Oxford Paper. Lost Appetite.— A gentleman, who styles him. self Doctor, lias advertised a medicine in the London papers for restoring lost appetite, which he kindly promises to distribute gratis to ihe poor.

GAMBLING HOUSE— On Wednesday, the case of Orme v. Crock ford came on in Ihe Court of King's Bench. The defendant is the proprietor of a notorious gambling bouse in St. James's. street and the plaintiff brought an action against him for the recovery of £ 5,000, which he had lost at the table, and penalties to three times that amount In the whole, Mr. Crock ford was sued for penalties to the amount of £ 180,000 — A crowd of fashion ables attended to hear the trial; but it a p pea re that the witnesses were not forthcoming; the names of ibe Earl of Orford, Mr. Hughes Ball, and Mr. Edward Moore, were called, and they were fined for not attending.— The plaintiff was nonsuited. A CAPACIOUS . SWALLOW.— At Cheltenha police office laft I. liiggins was charged with stealing three half crowns and some half- pence, the property of J. ^ dams. The parties had occupied a double- bedded room; and on Saturday night the culprit, imagining Adams was asleep, stole the money from the pocket of his clothes. To his dismay, however, the other jumped out of bed, and instantly procured a constable. On searching Higgins the money fell from his stocking, when he snatched up the three half crowns, and literally swallowed them! an operation which he performed at the imminent risk of suffocating himself u hy poyging his fingers down his throat," as the witness described it, and forcing down the coin. In his pocket was found a skeleton key,-— He was fully committed to take his trial at the Sessions. Crt to = - I I cr> a Z I I I I IV] oor^ s Age. S 2 rt nT C/ S - n rjl VI 3 5? ? £- 3 2! The representations made on Ihe late trial ( see 4lli page) by the Attorney General of the conduct of Colonel Berkeley towards Miss Foote having been very unsatisfactory lo that gentleman, he has replied by publishing certain extracts from his cor- respondence wilh Miss F. to which her friends ha subjoined a slill more ample publication of her letters lo Ibe Colonel;— These interesting appeals, with other valuable correspondence between Miss Foote, Mr. Hayne, and the father and mother of Miss F. have occupied a large portion of ihe London Papers for several days past. What class of persons have their laste so vitiated as to find pleasure in reading tile correspondence of such characters, and upon such subjects as have neces- sarily been Ihe burden of Ihe various letters, it may not be difficult to guess; but we are sure thai to heads of families, and to the virtuous females who happily form Ihe vast majority of domestic society in I his country, Ihe detail of deliberate and practised profligacy laid open by this correspondence, is too disgusting to create any anxiety lo wade through a mass of epistolary matter, that is, iu every sense, " flat, stale, and unprofitable." HIGH- I'RESSURESTEAM ENGINES — Caution to Proprietors using them.— The House of Com mons investigated the high- pressure engines about seven years ago.— They disapproved of cast iron boilers, as being more dangerous than wrought iron ones; and it was enacted that 110 wrought iron boilers should be put down without being proved to carry 1501b. upon Ihe square inch; and that they should have two safety valves, the one under lock and key, and the key lo be kept by Ibe foreman, and that to be loaded so as to fly off al 501b per inch ; the other valve at the command of Ihe engineer. Il was also enacted that every wrought iron boiler should he examined and stamped by a proper person: non conformance to the above, subjects the parties to a penalty of £ 50. In the case of the Attorney- General v. the Corporation of Winchester, it was stated that the various lands and tenements, of which the Cor- poration of that city arc the trustees, would have produced an annual excess of £ 1439 over and above the present reserved rents, bad llie property been let at a fair value.— The Vice- Chancellor said, the Relators ( sueing parties) had so much credit due to lliem for tile discovery of the Chari- ties, that he only regretted that he had it not at present in his power to order payment of the whole of their costs, charges, aud expenses ; but, as Ihe balauce sum of £ 749 odd, was ordered forlhvvith to be paid into Court, that sum should be applied as far as it will go. Johnson, the informer, is now proceeding wilh his accustomed vigour against the stage coachmen, under the 101b section of the Stage Coach Act, which makes it penal for the coachman to leave the box without placing a person a head of the horses to prevent them from running off. Five convictions of this kind have taken place at one of the London Police Offices. It was contended by the parties, that committing the reins into Ihe hands of the passenger on the box, was a sufficient compliance with Ihe spirit of the Act: but it was ruled lhal that would only go lo a mitigation of the tine. Accordingly, in cases where Ibe reins bad been so disposed of, the fine was reduced to 25s.; in the other cases it was 50s, •< zr S Greatest height of Bar. Dec. 14th 30,24 inch.

GERMANY. A very able Tourist in Germany* & c. Rives ( he following pleasing account of the Ladies of Saxony : " Like all their sisters of Saxony, the ladies are models of industry ; whether at home or abroad, knitting and needle- work know no interruption. A lady, going to a rout, would think liltle of for- getting her fall, bin could not spend half an hour without her implements of female industry. A man would iie quite pardonable for doubling, on entering such a draw iug- room, whether fie hud not strayed into ii school of industry ; and whether lie was not expected to cheapen stockings, instead of dealing, iu small talk. At Dresden it is carried so far, that even the theatre is not protected against stocking wires. I have seen a lady gravely lay. down her work, wipe away the tears which the sorrows of Theckla, in Walfenstein's death, had brought into her eves, and immediately resume her knitting. As might be expected, from the literary tone which so long ruled, and still lingers round the court aud society of Weimar, even the ladies have- not alto- gether escaped a sprinkling of pedantry. One coterie forms a regular critical club. The gifted ln. mbeis varying in age from sixteen to sixty, hold the'r weekly meetings over tea cups, wrapped up in as cautions mystery as if celebrating the mysteries of the Bona Dea. ,' 1 daring Clodius once intruded and witnessed the dissection of a tragedy ; but be had reason to repent the folly of being- wise so long ns he remained within the reach of the conclave, itut altogether, the ladies of Weimar are* in every thing that is good, a favourable specimen of . their countrywomen'.— At Cassel, it is stated, the Tourist coiild- iiot fail to hear. something respecting Jerome Buonaparte. From every ' mouth he found, that notwithstanding the bustle and splendour which he created amongst them, . the Hessians ( lid most cordially detest him and'his whole, crew of cor. rupters and squanderers. Jerome,- perhaps, did . not wish to do mischief for its ojvn sake'; he would ' have had no objecti ti that every man and woman in Iris kingdom should have been as idle and worth- less and dissolute as himself; but he laboured under such a w ant of head, such a horror of busi- ness, ami such a devotion to grovelling pleasures, that it. was only by mistake lie could stumble on any thing good, lie was, iu fact, a good- natured siliy, unprincipled voluptuary, whose only wish Was" to enjoy the sensual pleasures of royalty with out submitting to its toils ; but, at the same time without any natural inclination to exercise its rigours. His profligate expenditure was as perni- cious to the country as the war itself: on this score lie was doomed to read many a scolding epistle and some threatening ones, from Napoleon; hut without these enjoyments Jerome could not have conceived what royalty was good for. The man did not-' eren give himself the trouble to learn the language of his kingdom. People feared and ctirse, d his- vbrother, but they openly despised and laughed at- him. When, on his flight, he carried of! it he could from the public treasury, they were thunderstruck, not at the meanness of Ihe thing, ,. ; ii at the possibility of King Jerome pos sensing so much forethought." CR1M TARTARS. In an intelligent description of ihe Crim Tartar*, a ireople but ' title known, the author, a female who had resided among them four years, says of them as. follows : — " Titer Tartars of the Crimea may he divided into three classes: the Murais, or noblemen; the Mul las, or priesls ; and the peasantry; the latter paying great deference to both the former. The Mill la is considered the head of every parish, and nothing of consequence to the community is under taken without his council. His land is ploughed for him, his corn sown, reaped, and carried home and it is seldom that the proprietor of the soil take: tithe of the priest.—' Ihe language used ill the mosques is the Arabic, which the priests learn to real without being able to translate, only having n generill idea as to the tendency of each prayer The Etlen- lis ( a higher class of the prii slhood) are doubtless more learned, but it is considered suffici- ent for a Mulla of the smaller villages to be able to read, aud fo understand a few of the mysteries of their religion. Not even the smallest village is without a minister: anil mistaken as these poor people are iu the objects of their belief, aud in the observance of their senseless laws, at least they are entitled to the merit of sincerity in their devotions and a strict adherence to those duties which their religion enjoins.— The dress of a Tartar gentleman is of cloth, trimmed with gold or silver lace, or, in the heat of summer, of Turkish silk, or of silk mixed with stuff. In winter his eoat is lined with fur, his trowsers are worn tight and low at the ancles, and are made of some bright coloured linen frequently blue. He wears upper and under slip pers, and no stockings. He has generally a large high cap of broad cloth ( which distinguishes him from the peasantry), and a coloured linen shirt. The priests aiid'old men wear their beards, but the voung shave them. All shave the head ; aud the * Mnllas are known by a white Linen cloth which they bind round the o'utside of their caps." ] liver Navigation in Colombia. The ( landers of navigation on some of the rivers of Colombia are not a little alarming. When 1 em. harked on the Dagna, 1 was provided with two negroes, reputed lo be excellent sailors, anil with a long and narrow canoe. My luggage was placed in equal weights at each extremity of the canoe, and three feet were reserved for me in the centre, merely capable of containing my half- bent body; my two negroes, the one furnished with an oar, and the other with a pole, occupied the head anil stern of our fragile skiff. When all was ready and securely arranged, the rope by which we were fastened to the bank was cast off, and immediately we were driven forward by the current, with the rapidity of an arrow, against a natural wall of rock, which the waters rushed over with the most fearful noise I shuddered as I contemplated Ihe apparent impossi hilitv of safely passing ibis terrible barrier; but quicker than thought the boat was dextrously steered through a very confined opening, aud escaped into a more tranquil stream. One danger stirmounlcd, we fell into another as formidable; we had to descend from the lofty mountains of the Las Juntas into the plains which are washed by the great Ocean, anil where I fancied that llie river had reached its level. 1 perceived its agitated waters flowing at several feet beneath the place where I was. The dexterous negro, ajiled by his pole, skilfully avoided the too rapid current of ihe stream, and boldly threaded through ihe perilous passages between the rocks without any apprehension for Ihe safety iif the canoe llis course, however, was frequently impeded by ' some unseen barrier, and arrested us. on the brink of a fall ; the water, boiling from the base of the opposing rock, threatened us with destruction, and the- moment became dreadfully critical. Our fear- less navigators, on these terrifying occasions, leapt into the water, and thus lightening the canoe, held it against the stream with all their strength, and saved us from the frightful gulph beneath.— Mollien's , Travels. SIB, In your Journal of last week, iu giving the pub- lic all account of the proceedings al a Meeting of ihe Irish Bible Society, held at Carlow, the Rev. Sir. Nolan* a Roman Catholic Pi test, is repre- sented as having used the following undisguised language:— " The- Priests have a right to oppose these So- I unoe and discretion cieties: their proceedings are interested. They 1 i. pretend they come to disseminate instruction, and they diffuse" that which is contrary to instruction — initiated and adulterated copies of the Word of God " ' Justice lo ask the same compensation as a woman of unblemished reputation. There was one fact worthy of the Jury's attention relative to this point. Alter the first proposal of marriage from the defendant, the plaintiff had gone to Beiki ley Castle, and continued 10 live wiih Col. Berkeley. The Jury must also take into consideration Ihe profession the plaintiff was of, which should have some weight wiili them.

Bristol, 16/ A Dee. 1824. - In the Court of Common P'eas, on the 2d instant, in ail action, Steed, v Henley, brought to recover the amount of a bill for medicines and I attendance as an apothecary, the plaintiff was nonsuited, ii appearing lhat he hail only a diploma from the Surgeons' Com; any, and had not prac- tised as an apothecary before August, 1815. The Chief Justice said, it was every day's experience, hat gentlemen, who had received diplomas as sur- geons, did also practise as apothecaries,; but cer- tainly he was of opinion, they had no righl to do I so, and if the law prohibited aiiy act, it would not allow a party to recover iu respect of lhat act. Breach of Promise of Marriage. FOOTE i). HAYNE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Miss Foote, a theatrical performer of much celebrity, about 28 years of age, against Mr.' Hayne, a young gentleman with a property of about £- 5,000 a year, Liud about 23 years of age— The trial took place in the Court of King's Bench, on Tuesday, before a Special Jury, and in the presence of a most crowded Court.— To detail al! the profligate history connected with this case would he paying hut a poor compli- ment to the inoral taste of our readers -. we shall therefore give a brief outline of the circumstances laid before ihe Jurv.— The Attorney. General, on ( lie part of the plaintiff, gave a history of her life. The father of Miss Foot* had been an officer in 1116. Annv, and subsequently ( nauager of a theatre at Plymouth, where Miss Foote commenced her theatrical career : she afterwards performed with great applause in London, and at Cheltenham : oil tlie night of her benefit ol tlie latter place, Col. Berkeley, a gvutle- nian of Iar » e property in Gloucestershire, hut of not or ioirs Character, offered to perform a part in the play, which offer was accepted, and which led to an acquaintance between him'and Miss Foote : lie pro- mised her marriage, aud under this promise, aided hy his well known arts of iutrig\. e, he seduced her. [ The result was, that she went to li^ e under his protection, and had two children by hiln, the one horn 9fh April, 1821, and the oilier on fhe 2d of June, 1824 } She occasionally Jived at Berkeley Castle, the seat, of Col. Berkeley, and during the Theatrical season she resided in London, where she had an engagement at the Co vent Garden Theatre. Il was there that Mr. Hayne saw her, in 18* 23,- and pressed for an . acquaintance: an intimacy took place, and in February, * 1824, he pressed her to marry him, and her mother then informed him that she was under a solemn engagement. toCol. Berkeley [ She did not, however, inform Mr, Hayne what sort of' connection or u engage meat''' existed between Col. Berkeley and . Miss* Foote.']" He continued hi* addresses', which were not accepted until Juhe28ih, 1824, when the mother of Miss Foote wrote him word that her daughter1!* " engagement''. with Col. Berkeley had terminated. Ou the- 29th Jure, Mr. Hayne took ( VIiss Foote to the Opera, and he was ailed out of the box there by a friend of Col. Berkeley, who appointed to meet him the next day : at this meeting, Col Berkeley told Mr. Hayne that Miss Foote'had been living' under his protection, that she had had two children by him, that it was ridiculous in Mr. Hayue to think of marrying- her, and; urged him to sign an agreement as to which of them . was to have her iu keeping for the future ! In consequence of this, Mr. Hayne broke off his engagement with Miss Foote. Subsequently, how', eter, afler some explanations urged ou the part of Miss Foote, he renewed his acquaintance, again promised her marriage ( in August, 1824), procured the license for that purpose, and persuaded her to give up her- Theatrical engagement; hut by the interference of friends was again induced finally to break off his acquaintance,— For this breach of promise, and for the loss she had sustained by his inducing her to ^ ive up her Theatrical engagement ( alleged to be worth £ 1000 a year), the present action was brought.-— The damages were laid at £ 10,000. The facts alleged in support of the plaintiff's case were proved by the evidence of Mrs. Foote ( the plaintiff's motherland Mr. G. Robins, auctioneer, and by a voluminous correspondence between Mr. Hayne and Miss Foote, the lady having preserved all his letters, and carefully kept copies of all her own! Mr. Scarlett addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant. He urged the duplicity of Miss Foote and lier family in concealing ihe nature of her con- nection with Col. Berkeley, until the Colonel himself had disclosed it to Mr. Hayne; he said Mr. Hayne had made presents to the plaintiff to the amount of £ 1000, and bad besides advanced £ 1150 to Miss Foote's father, to enable him to procure a situation in the army ; and he contended that the whole affair was one of cunning and deceit, carried on by Miss Foote and her family for the purpose of entrapping a wealthy young man into a dishonourable and IIIL happy connection, solely to obtain, on the part of the plaintiff apd her family, a large pecuniary settle- ment. In summing up the case to the Jury, the Lord Chief Justice said^" it appeared from a letter which had been read, that in February, 182- 1, the defendant had made a formal proposal of marriage to the plaintiff. That proposal was not accepted, and it was for the Jury to judge, how far the account, given of the' reasons for not then accepting the proposal should weigh with them. The reason stated was the lady's 44 engagement" with Colonel Berkeley ; but it was manifest that the real cause was the then state of the plaintiff's health, she being then in a state of pregnancy. It appeared that the plaintiff* came to Loudon on the 23d June, 1824, and on her arrival she received the visits of the defendant, who then again makes a proposal of marriage, which the plaintiff accepts. But the defendant, when informed of the birth of two children, brokeoff the connection. Had he never renewed it, he, the Lord Chief Justice, Was bound to tell the Jury he would have been fully justified in doing so. When a man proposed marriage to a wonis* 11! 111 ignorance oilier having had children bv another man, and afterW& jr. ds discovered such a circumstance, he was not bound to perform his promise. Had the matter stopped here, the amount of injury done to the plaintiff would have been easily estimated: but the intercourse was afterwards re- newed, and renewed at the instance of the plaintiff. [ His Lordship then recapitulated the main facts which formed ihe plaintiff's ea'se. J This was the case on tiie plaintiff's shewing, and it was not altered by any thing which the defendant had said. He was a young* man, considerably younger, indeed, than the plaintiff. He was a young man, however, of considerable wealth. His presents to the plaintiff' had been liberal ; and his kindness to her father very liberal. The Jury were to reflect, that a woman, who had the misfortune to be seduced, and had lived Common Prayer, and other Books explanatory of the doctrines of the Established Church. For many years the exertion/ of the Society were extremely limited, indeed it was well known, that the in- creased demand for the Scriptures commenced only within the last few years; and he must here take leave to say, that in a great degree the present wide diffusion oi'the WORD O? GOD was attributable to the exertion's of this Society: in the hands of the LOE* D it had been fhe chief instrument in directing the minds of the people to the Sacred Truths of Religion. This Society, was also the fi » si to stand forward in that labour of love, the religions education of the children bf the Poor. It laid the foundation of those ~ noble Establishments which wei'e how carrying on 1 with so much benefit to the Nation, by the National School Society— a monument of, piety whose exer- tions would be enrolled in the annals of our Country,; in characters of light. So that upwards of three hundred thousand children were, even now indirectly imbibing the pure streams of knowledge at the hands of this Society. — This Institution had extended con- siderable support to Missionaries in foreign . parts. His, Lordship said he did not feel disposed to press the claims of the Society as being the earliest to take the charge of Missionaries abroad : their operations had been, in a degree limited, owing to the want of funds; but they continued to prosecute this good work to ihe extent of their ability, and were still labouring in this part of the vineyard of the LORD. It was hoped, however, that his Majesty's Govern- ment would take this branch of their duty into its Own hands.— In the southern pails. of India much good had been done through the instrunientaliiy of the Society's Missionaries: not fewer than 20,000 Christians were the fruits of their exertions; and a considerable number of Schools had been established in the neighbourhood of Calcutta, which were well attended by the children of the natives.— The chief object of this Society, however, was, the dissemina- tion of Religious Books, including the Holy - Scrip- tures. Not one person in the Meeting, lie was sure, - would call in question the great necessity there was of distributing the Bible; but still he saw no reason why, as Members of the Established Church, the Meeting should not attach its full importance to the Book of Common Prayer, Was he called upon to say, at the present time, when so much inconsistency and contrariety in discipline prevailed, that there was no need to introduce a help to the right inter- pi elation of the Scriptures? Was it sufficient to acquire a knowledge of the rudiments of Gospel truth only, and leave the superstructure unfinished? He would contend that it was our especial duty, as supporters of the Church of England, to use our besl exertions in disseminating such books as would enable our fellow- men to interpret the Word of GOD aright; and to answer this desirable purpose, and to instruct their minds, he knew of no better Book than the Common Prayer. And he was sure the candid; seceder would admit the propriety and the justice of their pursuing this course ; for he believed that no liberal seeeder would maintain, that a man might not become a sincere Christian by acting- up, in all things, io the doctrines set forth in the Book of Common Prayer. Next 1o the laborious exerlions of tue Clergy, this might be the means of bringing again, within the pale of the Church, those individu- als who had left it. Why not, then, stand up in defence of our Mother Church, and try to reclaim our seceded brethren?—[ His Lordship, who was much affected, said he hoped the Meeting would bear with him, as he fell strongly the importance of this subject.]— He felt deeply impressed with the inconsistency which presented itself, in this place. While the Ministers of the Gospel were officiating in the House of GOD, they were surrounded by bun dreds of hearers, exhibiting every appearance of attention and zeal; and yet to the Society for Pro- moling Christian Knowledge, whose object was the distribution of Books, of Church principles, not a hundred subscribers were found in these extensive and populous towns.- So impressed was he with the importance of the subject, that he could not resist further trespassing upon their attention. He should mention a fact, and it ought to be sufficient to induce the Meeting to come forward in support of the Society : the number of Books distributed during the last fourteen years amounted to nearly fifteen millions; „ a great portion of which were Prayer Books. But, that be might not be considered ns attaching too mu£ h importance to ibis fact, he would add, and he could state it from his own personal knowledge, that the demand' for Prayer Books was commensurate with the demand for the Holy Scrip- tures, The people at home and abroad were loudly calling for the Book of" Common Prayer ; and at this moment so great was the demand for it in India, that a corresponding supply could not be procured. This Could not be called a J orbed, di st r i | v n \ i o n" of the Prayer Book. jft was'therefore the duly of the Members of the Established Church, to come forward and endeavour lo answer that demand. The blessed fruits proceeding- from the distribution of this and other Books issued hy the Society we how had the happiness of enjoying.' The Meeting well knew the mischievous effects that were attempted to be pro. duced by the circulation of infidel publications,- cal- culated to shake the attachment of the people to our venerable Institutions in Church and State. For the ' NE'tV YEAR, are generally the congratulations at this festive Season, and every auxiliary is eagerly sought after for the. embellishment of the Person ; the most prominent trait of beauty in either sex is a fine Head of Hair; its beautifiil arrangement is aided and assisted by the wonderful energetic powers of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, which has, by its superior excellence in promoting the elegance and durability of that grand ornament, gained the admiratiosi of the whole world.— Parents and Guardians cannot offer to those under thcii; care a more acceptable present, as that useful adornment attended to in youth is of the highest importance.— Conductors of Seminaries will find Rowland's Macassar Oil indispensably necessary.

[ inconsiderable praise was due to the Society for : Promoting Christian Knowledge, who, in this hour of i threatened danger, appropriated a large sum of motley in the printing and circulating of no less than 100,000 anti- infidel publications. . The happy result of this measure, under GOD'S blessing, they ail well knew. Had he not, then, his Lordship said he would ask, established the indefeasible claims of this So- ciety to the liberal support of the public ? Was the dissemination of the Scriptures to , hp considered as the work of the Clergy exclusively ; and were they to go through ibis duty without any assistance - froth the Laity? This ought not to be the case. He would therefore call upon the Meeting to assist iri this work*, there was an ample field for their exer- tions: he would entreat them to co- operate in the { zealous endeavours of the Society to reclaim sinners* I and to furnish them with an accurate knowledge, of the Sacred Truths of the Gospel— to come manfully forward, and perform the duties of soldiers of CHRIST'S Militant Church.— Without casting the slightest imputation on any Christian Association, or questioning their motives or their principles, he would earnestly call upon every person possessed of competent means, to aid this Society to the best of I his ability, particularly iu this district, where the people were so independent and intelligent, and where the humbler classes manifested so strong a desire to be taught the saving truths of the Bible. As the Chief Pastor of this extensive and important Diocese, he could not refrain from saying, that an I unspeakable responsibility rested on those individu- als who derived their profits from the labour of the persons placed under. their controul ; who, by the exertions of their dependents, had amassed wealth, and been elevated among- their fellow- men; and who, except the, pittance they gave for their exer- tions, had no other duty to perform in return than to watch over the progress of their servants' moral conduct— a duty, his Lordship feared, not estimated as it ought to be, but for the neglect of which, if he | understood the Gospel, and the Laws of his Country, aright, Masters were deeply responsible. By keep., ing a watchful eve upon their conduct — by placing Jin their hands moral and religious Books— by the ] establishment of Lending Libraries— by these means, Masters would very much contribute to the present and eternal interests of their servants, and he would I add, would likewise be contributing in a great | degree to their own.— His Lordship said a great variety of topics pressed themselves upon his atten- tion ; but by entering upon them now lie should be led farther than he could wish. He hoped, however, that what he had advanced would have some good effect — that it would have the happiest result. What- ever the termination qf this day's Meeting should be, it would only be the laying of the first sWne of a larger building; its erection could only be accom- | plished by the active personal exertions of every J one who- wished well to the cause. He trusted that | every Subscriber would solicit the support of his [ neighbour; and that all would co- operate with the I Ministers of the Established Church, to procure J support lo fhe Society. They who engaged in this I labour of love would most assuredly receive their reward.— His Lordship observed in conclusion, 14 Per- mit me to thank you for the very kind attention you have paid to the observations I have made. If, in I the course of my remarks, I should have used some expressions that may be considered too strong, myself justified in speaking with an energy and warmth which, on another occasion, I should cer- I tainly feel some reluctance in using."

The Gazette of Tuesday contains a Proclamation proroguing Parliament to Thursday, the 3d of February next, then to meet for the dispatch of business. The French Government has resolved upon a measure which shows that the public mind in France is brought to a settled and tranquil temper, and that the House of Bourbon regards itself as firmly re established. This measure is the proposal of an indemnity to the emigrants for the confisca- tion of their property. Two years since this pro- position vvould haye spread alarm. When proposed on after the restoration, by Marshal Macdonald, it was resisted and disapproved even by the Royal- ists themselves, and he was induced to abandon it. There is every reason to suppose that still it will not pass in the approaching Session, without opposition and excitement. Among those who have taken the field against it, is the Abbe de Pradt, one of the most versatile and voluminous of pam ph'eteers. In 1789, when the Revolution com menced, the French Nobility reckoned about 18,000 families, which, at five persons each, made < 0.000 Nobles. Of these about half emigrated. But by the- Abbe's calculation, those who returned time to'escape confiscation, and escaped it by other meatis— such as friendly conveyances in trust, would reduce claimants for indemnity to 7,000 families, or 35,00.0 individuals. Those who have an interest in the transfer of this confiscated pro- perty are estimated at five millions of individuals - Besides these five millions, purchasers of the confis- cated property of individuals, he estimates that Ihcre are at least five millions more interested in :|; h, e confiscated property of the church and other corporations.' Thus they who are interested in the purchase of national property are very nearly a third of the whole population of France, which was last year returned at near 30 millions and a half. It is only to individuals that an indemnity Is designed to be given.

GAS ENGINE CARRIAGE.— the Public are likely soon to be furnished with a loco- motive carriage for general purposes. A company is ac- tually forming, the subscriptions to which, we learn, are nearly full, for the purpose of contract- ing to run the mail coaches and other carriages by means of this engine, supplied with portable gas. The great weight of steam engines, with the re- quisite supply of coal and water, has hitherto pre. vented their successful application to loco- motive carriages. This formidable obstacle is altogether removed by Mr. Brown's invention, as we under- stand that a six- horse power engine, with gas for l| hour for 15 miles, will not weigh one hundred more. It is expected that a carriage will be com- pletely ready to start in four months, when it is intended to be dispatched to York and back at the rate of ten miles per hour, and the expenses are ( itimatcd at less than one- half the mileage of a four- horse post coach.— Hull Packet. ADVENTURES OF A POUND OF COTTON. The following history of a pound weight of manu- factured cotton will shew the importance of the trade to the country in a very conspicuous manner : The wool came from the East Indies to London; from London it went to Lancashire^ where it was manufactured inh? yarn; from Manchester it was sent to Paisley, where it was woven ; it was nt ?. t sent to Ayrshire, where it was tamboured ; after- wards it was conveyed to Dumbarton, w here it was hand. sewed, and again returned to Paisley, where it was sent to a distant part of the county of Ren- frew to be bleached, and was returned to Paisley, whence it was sent to Glasgow, and was finished ; and from Glasgow was sent by coach to London, { t is difficult to ascertain precisely the time taken to bring this article lo market: but it may bo pretty near fhe truth to reckon it three years, from the time it vtas packed in India, until, in cloth, it arrived at the merchant's warehouse, in London, whither it must have been conveyed at least 10,000 miles by sea, and 920 by land, and contributed to reward no less than 150 people, whose services were necessary in the carriage and manufacture of this • mall quantity of cotton, and by which the" value has been advanced- two thousand per ctat.-^- Liver- pool Courier. GRAND FOOT RACE FOR 1,000 SOVEREIGNS, — It will be recollected by our sporting*, readers, that on the 29th of October last, James Metcalfe, the celebrated runner, and Captain Parker, were matched to run at Doncaster one mile, for 1,000 sovereigns, the Captain receiving 40 yards, and that Metcalfe won with the greatest ease, overtak- ing his opponent before they had run 300 yards. Notwithstanding thisfsignal defeat, the Captain, thinking that, if the distance was shorter, and the allowance proportionate, he should win, proposed to Metcalfe to. r- un a quarter of a mile for 1,000 sovereigns^ receiving 25 yards. This proposal was accepted, and the match was settled to take place yesterday on Sunhury Common. Captain Parker made all the good running in his power for about 240 yards, when Metcalfe got up to him ; the Cap- tain then made a very spirited effort to; get the lead, but without success, his adversary getting it, and keeping it with apparent ease. The Captain's dis- comfiture was now seen by all present, Metcalfe keeping his eye upon his adversary, and making stride for stride ; iu so doing be was sure of win- ning, making a reach in the general way of nearly three inches more than the Captain. In this way they continued, Parker losing ground every yard, when Metcalfe won his match by 10. or 12 yards, with perfect ease. PUGILISM.— On Tuesday, O'Neal and Jem Burn fought at Moulsey Hurst, for £ 200. After fighting 54 rounds, in 1 hour and 39 minutes, 0> Neal was declared the victor. A Sheriff's Jury gave Tom Belcher, the boxer, £ 10 damages on Saturday, against Tom Cribb, for a violent assault on him at a sporting dinner. Mr. Adolphus, the counsel, took the occasion to defend the system of prize- fighting, and contended lhat the national spirit of the common people was mainly owing to this general practice. On Monday, Thomas Coombs was executed on Pennenden Heath, for the murder of Thomas Morgan, at Beckenham, of which crime he was found guilty at the late Kent Assizes— The deceased was gardener to a gentleman named Good hart, at Beckenham; Coombs went to rob the garden, and being interrupted by Morgan, he shot him, and Morgan died of the wounds in a few hours. There is an old man residing in the neighbour- hood of Southampton, named Landy, who is up wards of a century old. He was a soldier in the Horse Guards, and was among the troops whom Lord George Sackville kept back from fighting at the battle of Minden. At the battle of Wanurgh next year he received two severe sabre cuts, and was left for dead. On his recovery, he served many years in the Foot Guards. A memoir, stating these and other facts, appeared in a Hampshire paper, which attracted the notice of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, who, finding the case correctly stated, presented the old man with a purse of twenty guineas. The more married tiien ; you have, the fewer crimes there will be. Examine fhe frightful co- lumns of your criminal calendars, yon will there find a hundred youths executed for one father of a family. Marriage renders men more virtuous and more wise. The father of a family is not willing to blush before his children; he is afraid to make shame their inheritance — Examiner. BATH, DEC. 13 — Mi;. Berkford, late of Foothill Abbey, at present resides 111 Upper Xjaiisdovvii- crescent, in this city, lie occupies two' larg- o houses, a street however separating- the two houses ; but to establish p communication between the two residences, without n'oing' into the street, Mr. Beckford has had a bridge or gallery built across the street, its basement being- level with the first, floor Windows. By such means the carriage- way is not interrupted. This communication between the two houses is entirely enclosed, even the sun blinds to the windows appear to he always down. Besides superseding the necessity of entering the street, to pass'from one house to the oilier, another reason is assigned for the building of this corridor, or covered biidge gallery ; — it enables all tha affairs connected with cookery and the kitchens to be carried on in one house, wi bout Mr. Beckford, who remains in the opposite dwelling, being an- noyed by any of the smells proceeding from the preparations for dinner, & c. His table is supplied by his retinue of servants conveying the several dishes from the kitchen thence aioug the corridor to Mr. Beckford's ditiiug- r, oin in the opposite house, and thus he has no culinary smells till his dinner is 011 the table, His mode of dining is said to he of the sainesplendid character with what took place at Fonthill— a choice dinner of several courses, intermingled with the peculiarities and delicacies of the seasons, as it 11 large company were to partake of it with him, while, like Lute in "/ iicAe. » ," the feast is often all his own. Mr. Beckford is frequently seen walking through or about Bath, followed by one groom on horseback leading another horse for his master ; and when on the roads about Baili, Mr. B. mounts his horse, and rides frequently to a considerable distance from the city. Mr. Henry Hunt is now a dealer in black coffee, blacking, black herbs for smoking, and black ink.

Gi neral Campbell, of Lochnell, rose, and addressing himself to Captain M'Dougall, of M'Dougall, said that he held in his hand a brooch, known by the name of " Brooch of Lome," which had at one time belonged to King Robert Bruce. It was- lakcu from the person of that Monarch by his ancestor, M'Dougall, of Lome, in battle, ou a field near ' I'v 11 ; 1 r 11 ill " T he fortunes of war— if the actions of rival clans can be so called— had placed t: « it brooch iu the possession of a relation of the Lochnell family, Campbell, of Bragleen, whose descendants had preserved it for two centuries. It was his ( General Campbell's) good fortune lately to obtain possession of it, and he now had the satisfaction of restoring it to the descendant of him who had so gloriously won so proud a trophy. Captain M'Dougall made a suitable reply of thanks and acknowledgments.— ' I'lie brooch was ot silver, and of a circular form, the diameter about three inches. In Ihe centre is a rock crystal, of an oval shape; the setting being raised. about an inch, round which rise eight tubes, to the same height, in each of which is a pearl; between these is some embossed work.—• Inverness Courier.

BISHOP OF CHESTER. Societg for Promoting Christian [ Knowledge. Since his elevation to the See of Chester, Dr, ; Blomfield has been particularly active 011 behalf of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. | Within Ihe last few weeks, he has convened or I presided at four meetings of the friends of this ) Society iu some of Ihe principal places of his Dio- cese. Ill the city of CHESTER his Lordship con- I veiled a Meeting, which was numerously attended; I and in the course of a few days upwards of £ 500 I were subscribed. Not long afterwards, a meeting was held for the same purpose in WARRINGTON", I where ±' 200 were subscribed in the room. Since then a Meeting has been held in LIVERPOOL, at which his Lordship presided, when a very consi- 1 derable sum was subscribed forthwith. And on I the 18th inst. his Lordship presided at a similar I meeting, held in the Free Grammar School, MAN- CHESTER, the result of which was, that a hand- I some additional list of subscribers was obtained I for the Society. His Lordship's address lo the meeting on this occasion may be considered as I embodying the sentiments and views of the liberal I and enlightened friends of this Society; we, there- I fore, subjoin it for our readers' perus. d :—- In entering n'potl the duties of his pastoral office ill I this populous and extensive Diocese, his Lordship j observed, he felt to the fullest extent, he believed, I ihe grent weight aud responsibility which had been I imposed upon him. Among the numerous objects,! of his solicitude, his first inquiry was, as to ihe disposition felt in the maniifactnring districts to I propagate the Sacred Truths of Religion among the lower classes ; and next, his enquiry directed to I the condition of that Society 00 behalf of which they were at present assembled. He had fondly aoliei'- pated that here he should find that the public | liberality had been shewn in favour of ibis Society in ( a degree foliy coinmensuiate with its worth— that in a town not more distinguished for its commercial I prosperity than for its loyalty, its constitutional J attachment to the Throne of these realms, and for its j veneration for our excellent Church Establishment, j he should have the happiness of finding that Ihe i Society did nut lack any support. But judge of his | astonishment when he discovered, from the statement I of the Society's accounts and condition, that in the^ e I very towns, containing a population amounting, he j understood, to nearly 200, OtK), the actual number of j subscribers to the Society for Promoting Christian j Knowledge was less than one hundred! Why, he! would ask, was it so, when other Religions Societies, ( which, to allow them their full share of merit, could j not be compared with this Society in point of useful- i ness, were in so flourishing a condition? Why, ] amidst so large a number of Relioions Institutions, ! should one so valuable as this have been permitted to j languish, when it ought to have been warmly and 1 cordially supported? The cause, he believed, he j had discovered, and he was alinost ashamed of men- j tion. inj>- it. The town did not appear to be wanting I in attachment to the Established Church ; the crowd- J ed congregation whieh assembled in the Parish Church on Sunday was a demonstrative proof that ! this was not the case. No, it was not a want of re- 1 gard for the Church that caused the Society he was | advocating to languish: be could attribute it only to j aii ignorance of its merits. Nor, indeed, he was j bound to say, was this ignorance confined to this J district; for even in the neighbourhood of his own J residence in the Metropolis, within the very verg- e and sphere of the Society's exertions, he had recently j found that more thana hundred persons knew nothing I of its existence, and that a still greater degree of'} ignorance prevailed, as to its objects. This might I have arisen from misrepresentations to which he J would not now a| lude; arid probably the same cause J might have produced similar effects here. Under 1 other circumstances he should not have ventured to | ; trespass upon their time, by entering into a detail of j ; the origin, objects, and operations of the Society ; but j | as it was, he felt it necessary to offer a few words in j explanation of these points.— The Society was esta- blished in 1699, by several distinguished individuals, for the purpose of counteracting the evils vvith which 1 the Country was then threatened, by the dissemina- tion of infidel publicatiofis ; and of promoting among the People the growth of true Christian knowledge. I n two yea rs the Society had ample proof of the good which had been effected by its exertions. Shortly j afterwards it was considered expedient to separate I the Society into two branches; one of which, under | the title of u The Society for propagating the Gospel ! [ in Foreign Parts," was incorporated by Charter, j This Society bad proceeded steadily, up to the ] present time, in the discharge of the sacred trust re- i j posed in it; and with the aid of Government ( though 1 not to the extent to which he should have wished), j had sent out, to different parts not less than two hundred Christian Ministers, to preach the saving truths of the Gospel in the North American Colonies. —• The objects of the other Society, namely, " The Society for promoting Christian Know ledge," were, the propagation of Christian truth at home ; the foundation and encouragement of Charity Schools; aud the seudiu. g of Missionaries to foreign parts— the
