Advices from Paris announce the death of Earl Tbanet. His Lordship is succeeded in his titles by b; s brother Chaiies, w ho is at present in the French Capital. The French Com J, ii is said* arc about to take op rhctr residence again at the Royal Palace of Versailles, which, for that purpose,- is lo be newly furnished in the most superb style. The Gazette contains au order, for a Court Mourning, to commence ou Sunday ( to- morrow), fur the late King of the Two Sicilies, The Irish Representative Bishops for the ensu- ing Session of Parliament arc Armagh ( Bmsford), El phi n ( Leslie), Down ( Mant), and Waterford ( Burke). At a meeting of the creditors of the late Lord JS'ewcomen- s Bank, held in Dublin last week, it appeared that the debts due from tiie fn irt amount- ed to £ 218,000, and that the property t< » meet this sum consists of estates of tiie value of about £ 140,000, or perhaps £ 160,000; aud cash, bills, and notes in the banking- house, amounting to £ 50,000. U was stated by the chief clerk aud cashier, that the house had been in difficulties, perhaps even . insolvent, during the last twenty five years. The whole of the unsettled estates of Lord WewTomeri are subject to the debts of the house* His I ordship was in the habit, of drawing from £ 5,000 to £ 10,000 a year from the concern, on account of profits— Which, it is unnecessary to say, were not realised. It is supposed, however, that the creditors will receive fifteen or sixteen shillings in the pound. IRISH EDUCATION SOCIETY.— The annual meeting of this Society was held in Dublin last week, the Right Hon. George Knox, Vice Pre- sident, in the chair. The report was read by Mr. Jackson, the secretary, assisted i » y Mr. Scott, K. O. It contained the important intelligence that I here are at this moment 14& 0 schools under the direction of the society, in which there are one hundred thousand children receiving instruc tion j and that the partial opposition which has hitherto operated to prevent the. complete success of toe Society's efforts was gradually giving way. The total amount of expenditure during the year ending Jan. 5, 1825, was £ 32,652, of which £ 22,000 was supplied by a Parliamentary grant. The motion adopting the report was seconded hi a Speech of considerable eloquence by the Rev. J. H 8ayer, and carried unanimously. Other resolutions were afterwards passed, in which the Hon-, and Rev. Dean Pakenham, the Rev. Mr, Dunne, Mr, V. Burrowes, and others, took part. The rail- road and canal interests ftre using all possible exertion to forward their respective vietvs in Parliament. A meeting of some of the leading men in the different rail- road companies is to be held next week, to determine on a co- operation in support of the bills of which notice is given in time for the approaching session. It is known that several engineers of eminence have left town for the purpose of surveying- the mines of North Wales, and that upon their report depends the formation of an association under the auspices of Mr. Rothschild, In conjunction with Mr. Hamlet. In the event of the report proving favourable, early application will be made to Par* liament for the incorporation of a company. Thi public will have an opportunity of forming- their own opinion of the merits of this undertaking-, which, if carried into execution, will, it is believed, give employment to upwards of 4,000 of the labour, ing- classes. Wednesday morning, at half- past nine, a portion of the Long Room of the new Custom House, towards the east end, gave way, to the extent of rather more than twenty feet from side to side ; the floor falling into the cellars beneath, and carrying with it the table which stood in that part of the room. The Clerk of the Warrants and another gentleman were on the spot at the time, but on feeling the floor spring, they suddenly started for- wards, and fortunately escaped injury. Had the accident occurred an hour later, many lives might have been lost. Immediately after the accident orders, were given to close the doors of the long room and to suspend all business for the day. DRIJRY- IANK.— Mr. Kean ventured to exhibit himself again last night, and commanded sufficient resolution to address the audience. The house was not so full as on Monday; but the expression of disgust and indignation from the respectable part of the audience was sufficiently decisive. Mr. Elljston previously addressed the house in behalf of the Performer, but was so much inter- rupted as to be nearly inaudible. Mr. Elliston then retired, and returned leading Mr. Kean by the hand. The uproar was now at its highest pitch— and with very considerable difficulty Mr. Kean obtained a hearing. Having advanced to the front of the stage, he spoke as follows " Ladies and Gentlemen.— If you expect from roe a vindication of my own private conduct, I am certainly unable to satisfy you. f Applause and disapprobation. J I stand before you as the repre- sentative of Shakspeare^' s heroes. ( Much conten- tion between the hostile parties. J The errors I have committed have been scanned before a public tribunal ; and—( here the uproar was so great that ice could not collect the termination of the sentence.) — On the occasion, Ladies and Gentlemen, to which 1 have alluded, I have withheld circumstances from delicacy. ( Much laughter, applause, and hisses.) If, Ladies and Gen11emen, Ihavewithheld circumstances from motives of delicacy ( laughter it. was from regard to the feeling's of others— not of myself. ( Clamour$ of appiau. se, mingledwith hisses ) It appears at this moment that 1 am a professional victim. ( Laughter.) If this is the work of a hostile press, I shall endeavour with firmness to withstand it ; but if it proceeds from votir verdict and decision, I will at once bow to it, and shall retire with deep regret, and with a grateful sense of all the favours which your patronage has hitherto conferred on me." Mr. Kean was then led off by Mr. Elliston, amidst a tumult of applause and disapprobation, which lasted for several minutes after he had quitted the stage.-— The whole performance was inaudible; and there were scarcely thirty females of any description present.

GHFC- F3 " ARGUS," who recommends the adoption of measures for obtaining a proper supply of Coal in Shrews, bury, should have favoured us with his real name. He is not correct in saying " Coal- works may be established any where in the neighbourhood." Certainly, however, they may be established in many places ill the vicinity; and the public will be glad to hear of any means being taken, by which a cheap and abundant supply of an article so indispensable can be obtained. | A most lame and impotent attempt at a reply to our statement relative to the late proceedings concerning the House of Industry appears in the last Chronicle; in which, however, as usual, the Printer of that Paper has put. forth some further untruths. He says, the " Steward first, sent to the Printer of the Journal a refutation of some the errors iu that newspaper " The only error pointed out to us by Mr. Owen was the " assertion" made by the Printer of ihe Chronicle, and so often alluded to, as to no work being done in the House. The Printer of the Chronicle, in a shuffling way, uow denies having used the expression-, we again say HK oill use IT, and we appeal to the Guardians assembled on the 10th ult for the con- firmation of OUR " assertion." If it were necessary and decorous so to do, we could name . many Gentlemen who have stated to us that they heard the Printer of the Chronicle use the expression as printed in our report. The plain tale told in our last Paper remains wholly unim- peached by the crooked and evasive observations in the Chronicle: we are, therefore, perfectly satisfied with the proposal that " the stamp of Fahelma and Dishonour may now henceforth be branded upon the front of the Chronicle or of the Salopian Journal— to whichever of the two it belongs,"-- convinced, as we are, that, oil such an alterna- tive, we need entertain no apprehension as to the decision of an impartial public.

In him ail affectionate mother has lost her fondest hopes, a numerous young family its future protector, and his friends their cherished treasure. It is, however, some consolation to them lo be assured that never was untimely fate mure deeply lamented, or its shock more sensibly fell; nor was a more general or highly esteemed favourite in the service. From the I'rivate to the General- Officer, all seemed alike lo vie in at- tachment whilst living— all seemed alike to be absorbed in sorrow when dead ; whilst his gen llemanly manners and amiable disposition pecu liarly endeared him to the Regiment in which lit served, and whose pride and ornament he was deservedly esteemed. These cheering consider- ations must, iu the screnei- hours of reflection, cast a bright gleam through Ihe gloomy cloud which at present envelopes his afflicted family, and revive in their mind's eye those springing laurels, now blasted by Destiny, which Fame had fondly nurtured lo adorn his future years.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, In the last Chronicle, under the head " WELSH GENU'S," is an article chiefly copied from the Hereford Journal, a correspondent in which, as the Chronicle stales, " has taken the trouble to correct tiie names" ( birth places) of the persons therein mentioned. In this article are given the names of several eminent individuals, who are described as Welshmen, and, of course, as reflecting honour on the Principality. I have no wish ••) detract front the honour thus given to Cambria, were it founded upon facts ; but, at the same time, I do not like lo see il done at the expense of my native county ; aud, therefore, think it proper the public should not be misled— for, instead of Baxter, the celebrated divine,* not being able " to speak a word of any language but Welsh until lie was 22 years of age," as there asserted, he was born at Rowton, near High Ercal; was, whilst young, placed under the tuition of Mr. It. Wickstead, Chaplain to the Council at Ludlow, where he had the benefit of a good library, after which he returned to his father's house at F. aton Constantine; subsequently, and I believe before he was of the age mentioned above, he was appointed head master of Dudley Free School ; and at the age of 23 entered into holy orders.— Hugh Broughton, also, instead of being a Welshman, as stated in the article lo which I have alluded, was born at Oldbury, in this county. The paragraph in question contains other blunders, but which, as ( with the exception perhaps of Mr. Maurice, the Indian Antiquary, who, instead of being an Anglesey man, was born in the neighbourhood of Loudon, and another individual to whom I suspect a wrong christian name is prefixed), the parties are unconnected with the County of Salop, I do uot think it necessary to notice. I am, Sir, your's, & c. Z. Iam inclined to believe that the writer has confounded the divine with his nephew, William Baxter, the gram- marian and critic, whose " education was much neglected in his younger years; for at the age of eighteen, when he wentto the school at llarrow- on- the- llill, he knew uot one letter in a book, nor understood one word of any language but Welsh ; but soon retrieved his lost time,, aiid became a man of great learning." He, however, was not a native of Wales, being born in 1650, in the County of Salop, on the borders of the Principality. On Saturday last, an Inquest was taken before J. Wollaston, Esq. Coroner, on- view of the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Medlicott, of The Coates, then laying in the church of Church Pulverbatch, iu this county, having, in consequence of certain statements made and reports circulated, been dis- interred for the purpose of the cause of her death being legally enquired into; when the following- witnesses were examined :• JAMES PINCHES, of The Overs, in the parish of Wentnor, in the county of Salop, farmer, upon his oath saith, that William Medlicott, the brother of Samuel Mediicott, told witness, tiiat Samuel Medli- cott struck his wife Elizabeth Medlicott in a rage with a chair, and that said Elizabeth Medlicott went behind the table to save herself, and he pushed the leaf of the table against her ; und deponent said to William Medlicott, " the reports of the country are very bad and lie said it was so. The depo- nent had this conversation with William Medlicott on this day fortnight; and this deponent saith the said Elizabeth Medlicott died upon last Thursday week WALES* DIED. At Welsh Pool, on the 27th uK. aged 83, Mrs. Ann Glasgow, relict of the late Captain George Glasgow, Royal Artillery. On the 21st ult. at Rhyd tlcha, near Bala, aged P7, Mr. Rowland Jones, for many years a respect- able carrier between Bala and Chester.

Alt ho' she was seen going down, not the least assistance could be afforded her or her ill- fated Crew. Died^ at Porio Novo, On the 14th inst. of a fever taught on the Salem Hills, Thomas Parry, Esq. senior partner of the firm of Messrs. Parry, Dare, and Co. He was born at Leighton Hall, I near Welsh Pool, Montgomeryshire. Mr. Parry had passed 37 years of his life in India, distin guished by the soundest judgment, the most honourable arid upright feelings, and the kindest and tftosf benevolent disposition. No man ever lived more respected and beloved by all classes both Europeans and natives, and none was ever more sincerely and universally res> retted."— Ma- dras Gazette, 21 st August, 1824.

The plaintiff brought an action to re- cover damages for the non- delivery of twenty hob- belts of Corn, the customary measure in North Wales. The defence set up was, that the statute of 22d Charles 2d, made it an offence lo sell or buy corn- by any other measure than the Winchester measure, and as that Act of Parliament made the contract for the sale of corn by any other measure differing from the Winchester measure an offence, no action could be maintained upon such a contract. The plaintiff was consequently nonsuited.— How- ever, the plaintiff moved the Record from the Great Sessions into the Court of Exchequer, to have the point of Law argued there; and after a long argu- ment, ably contended by both parties, the judges were fully of opinion that the defe- nce set up by the defendant was a proper one, and that as the Act of Parliamant made the selling of corn by any other measure than the Winchester measure an offence, no action could be, maintained; therefore, the Rule to set the nonsuit aside was discharged. — Mr. W. Griffiths, Attorney, Llanrwst, for the plaintiff; Mr. E„ Bailey, Attorney, Abergele, for the defendant. Most afflict intj Catastrophe. [ FROM THE WORCESTER HERALD OF JANUARY 28.} We are this week called to the performance of a task, than which not one more painful has fallen to our lot throughout our career as public journal- ists, neither can we recall to our memory an event which has diffused more universal and more poignant sorrow, within the circle in which the lamented lady, no'iV no more, to whom it relates, was known, than that, the circumstances of which we are about to lay before our readers. A few days ago, an infant son of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart, of Spring Bank, near this city, shewing symptoms of au attack ofscaflet fever, the remainder of the child- ren were, in order to prevent its further spreading amongst them, sent to the house of Mr. Parry, a farmer, living at Red Hill, which is a short distance from Spring Bank. On Tuesday last, Lady Mos- tyn, their most excellent and amiable mother, walked thither early in the morninj Diocese of Hereford.

I have been asked by several persons that came to the house if it was true ; I said it was not. That my mistress, on the 29th day of December last, went to the house of Mr. Andrews, at Rat linghope aforesaid, to a Christmas bout ( party), and that she danced there ; but my mistress told llie that she stood opposite a sink- hole culling meat, and thought she caught cold there, and was taken very ill upou the Sunday following, and that my master went to Doctor Clee for medicine for her. He afterwards went and fetched Doctor Glover, of Longden, to her, aud I think the Doctor was three times, aud one of those times was with Mr. Griffith, surgeon, of Shrewsbury ; and that my mistress died on Thursday, the 20th day of January instant. MARIA ROGERS, servant to Mr. Samuel Medlicott, of The Coates, in the parish of Ralliiighope afore- said, upon her oath saitb, that my master came home drunk from Church Stretton, ou the 23d day of December last, and my master quarrelled with my mistress about the cheeses being spoiled, but I heard my mistress say that my master did not beat her, and mistress continued very well until the Saturday after she was at Mr. Andrews's, and was then ill all the timeuutil she died. That my master went to Dr. Clee for medicine, aud after then for Mr. Glover and Mr. Griffith. I saw illy master during her illness very kind to her. SAMUEL WILKES, of Ratlingbope aforesaid, la- bourer, upon his oath sailb, that he went to the house of Samuel Medlicott, oil Wednesday, the 12th day of January instant; having heard a report that her husband had beat her, and she being a very good mistress of mine, I went lo see her, and I asked the servant girl, Mary Hinley, ifsuch reports were true; and she told me it was false. My mis- tress heard me, and sent the servant for me up stairs. I asked Iter liovv she was; she said shenas very ill; thatshe had catclied cold from being at a bout at Mr. Andrews's, at Ratlinghope, and that the old complaint that she was used to have had affected her all over. I saw Mr. Medlicott iu the room, and he seemed very kind to her. RBBECCA WILKES, wife of the last witness, upon her oath saith, that she went to see Mrs. Medlicott, on Wednesday, the 12th day of January instant ; I asked her very kindlv how she was; she said, " very ill." I* said, " Mrs. Medlicott, I hope it is not from the report I have heard in the country." She asked me what I had heard ; I told her I had heard that he had thrown a chair at her ; she hove up her hand and said—" Dear me, have you." She then said, " I have not felt the weight of his finger, nor has he hurt me in any shape." Mr. SAMUEL GLOVER, of Longden, surgeon, de- posed that he was called upon by Mr. Wollaston, Coroner, and the Jurymen assembled, to open and examine Ihe body of Elizabeth Medlicott, ill the parish church of Church Pulverbatch, and he found that the liver, intestines, aud peritoneum had under- . 5 0 0 | gone acute inflammation, which he believed occa- sioned her death, but from what cause lie was unable to ascertain. He saw no external injury on any part of the body. He was requested to visit the above Elizabeth Medlicott oa Monday, the 17th of January, 1825, and he found her suffering with acute pain in the abdomen, which he Considered peritoneal. Mr. WILLIAM GRIFFITH, of the town of Shrews- bury, surgeon, deposed that he was called upon by Mr! Wollaston, Coroner, aud the Jurymen assem- bled, to open and examine the body of Elizabeth Medlicott, in the parish church of Church Pulver- batch, and he found that the liver, intestines, and peritoneum, had undergone acute inflammation, which he believed occasioned her death, but from what cause he was unable to ascertain. He saw no external injury on any part of the body. He was requested to visit the above Elizabeth Medlicott on the evening of the 19th of January, 1823, and found her in a state of great debility, and suft'ering from peritoneal inflammation. The Coroner then made the neccssary remarks upon the evidence, and explained the technical terms of the surgical gentlemen ; when the Jury returned their verdict, " that Elizabeth Medlicott departed this life by the visitation of God, in a natural way, ( to vctt, J of acute in flammation nf the bowels and liver, and not otherwise " age was there to fetch her away at nine o'clock in the evening. The approach to Mr. Parry's house from the high road is up a short but steep ascent, near the top of Red Hill. At the moment the car- riage flail cleared the gate, the off wheel slipped into a water shoot, the violence of the jerk occa- sioned by which was such as to throw the coachman from his seat to the ground. He, however, almost immediately, recovered his legs, and running to the horses, who had got into a gallop, succeeded in laying hold of the traces, and lastly of the reins. The near animal now began to kick violently at him, and his leg catching in his breeches pocket, he was again pulled down, consequently he once more lost the reins, and the wheels passed over both his knees. Upon this, the horses, loosed from all restraint, set off at full speed towards Spring Bank, and, in endeavouring to turn into the road to it, about three hundred yards from the gate at Mr. Parry's, brought the carriage against two posts with great violence, splitting both. They then took ngain towards the high road, and continued their furious career. Lady Mostyn had to this time kept her seat, but, it is supposed, her fright at her situa- tion being increased by the concussion, she took the fatal resolution of jumping out. Besides the coach- man, a footman was in attendance upon her Lady- ship. The latter, who had got down at the g ate," to open it, was in the act of stepping up behind when the coachman fell, and ran forward to the coach- door, but was unable to retain hold of it, owing to the rate at which the horses were going. He then followed the carriag- e with all the speed he was able, and about twenty yards from the entrance to Spring Bank, he observed something in the road, which he at first thought was a coat or shawl fallen from the carriage, but on approaching it he found it to be his mistress, lying flat on her face, with her eves closed and bleeding profusely nt the nose. He spoke toiler, but she returned no answer, being- iu a state of complete insensibility. He then took oft'his coat, and wrapping it round her, placed her on the bank ; liv this time the coachman came up, and he remained with her whilst his fellow- servant Just Published, Price 2s. Bci.

In this interval a gentleman who was passing, acting from the impulse of the moment, attempted to bleed her Ladyship, but little blood issued from the puncture. The footman then came ofi* to this city for medical aid, and Dr. Hastings, Mr. Rayment, Mr. Carden, and Mr. Stephenson, sen. and jun. were promptly at the bed- side of the unfortunate lady. They found her right shoulder dislocated, but the most extensive injury was on the left side of her head, which was contused and swollen to that degree that they immediately pronounced her case destitute of the smallest hope. She remained throughout the night and Wednesday in the same state, her eyes closed, aud apparently perfectly unconscious of her situation, and until about six o'clock yesterday morning, when she expired.— On examining, next day, the spot where her Ladyship fell, it was found to be full seven feet from the track of the carriage ; the fatal mischief, therefore, must have ensued from the great violence with which she pitched upon her head to the ground, and not from her clothes catch- ing in the wheel, as has been stated. Sir Edward was absent at Leicester at the time of the accident; a dispatch was sent off to him the same night, and he arrived at Spring Bank about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, but it was deemed by the medical gentlemen most prudent, if possible, to keep him from beholding the truly deplorable state of their patient, her face being so dreadfully dis- figured, that not a feature was recognizable, and with which lie most reluctantly complied. Sir Edward, we understand, remains in a state of the most inconsolable affliction at the loss of his affec- tionate and inestimable wife, and the devoted and fond mother of his eleven children.— It is due lo the feelings of the coachman aud footman, to sav, that it was owing to no neglect of their usual care and attention to their beloved and valued mistress the melancholy occurrence took place, which has in so afflicting a manner, deprived them of her.— After the deceased had so unfortunately sprung from the carriage, the horses slackened their pace, and arrived at the Barbourne gate at a trot; the keeper threw open the gate as usual, not knowing that they were without a guide, and iu passing through the carriage came in contact with the post, by which the splinter bar was broken ; after proceed- ing a little further they were stopped.— Lady Mostyn was, we Understand, about 35 or 36 years of age, and was ( lie daughter of —- Blundell, Esq. of Crosby House, Lancashire.— An inquest was held upon the body last night, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned.

In Barley there was very little doing, in consequence of the great uncertainty which at present exists, respecting the opening of the Ports in February for that article ; in fact, scarcely a Bale was made of malting samples, and that at an abatement of full 2s. per quarter, consequently the quotations may be termed quite nominal.

NEW MODE OF SPLITTING ROCKS.—( Com municated by Dr. M'Culloch to the Edinburgh Journal of Science.)— Every practical man must be aware of the expense and waste of labour and of tools attending the ordinary mode of blasting rocks and large masses of stone, by gunpowder, either for building Or for the clearing rough ground. It was this expense, rendering it difficult for him to carry on his work at the contract price, which in- duced Mr. Mackenzie, the contractor of a road from Loch Ewe to Gairloch, to abandon the system of blasting, and to adopt, like another Hannibal, that of the simple application of fire. His method was never found to fail, and merely consisted in raising a tire of peat- turf, bushes or weeds, according to the character of the adjoining ground^' on the sur- face of the stone to be split, which being secured at thejinargin by stones or turf, was kept in activity for five or six hours. At first, Mr. Mackenzie was in the habit of throwing water on the stone when the fire was extinguished, but this is not necessary, as he found the mere heating of the mass, in every instance, sufficient for opening and enlarging the fissures, so as to admit of a small wedge. This wedge is easily and expeditiously driven in, and the rock giving way in the direction of some of its natural clevages, large slices are obtained, fit for the erecting of dykes or bridges. Although it was as connected with road- making that Mr. Mackenzie first had recourse to this simple process, it is evi- dent that it can be. applied to the removal of those large masses of rock, which are seen disfiguring almost every field iu the inclosed parks of the Highlands, and though hitherto applied to de- tached fragments of no great magnitude, practice may prove the possibility of employing it in the fracture of rocks.-— Inverness Courier.

Act ;> assed in the third Year of the Reign of His Vlajesty King George the Fourth, 11 For Regulat- ing Turnpike Roads ;" which Tolls produced last Year the following Sums : viz. MINING SPECULATIONS. [ prom ROBERTSON'S HISTORY OF AMERICA.] Of all the methods by which riches may be ac- quired, that Of seaTching for the. precious metals is one of the most inviting, to men who are either unaccustomed to the regular assiduity with which the culture of the. earth and the operations of com- merce riVust be carried on, or who are so enter- prising- and rapacious as not. to be satisfied with the gradual returns of profit which ihev yield. Accordingly, as soon as ihe several countries iu America were subjected to the dominion of Spain.,, this was almost the only me; hod of acquiring wealth which occurred fo'' the'udventurers by whom ihev \ fere conquered. Dunng several years, the ardour of their re- searches was kept up by hope, rather than success. At length, the rich silver mines of Potosi, in Peru, were accidentally discovered in the year 1545, by an Indian, as he was eiumbering up the mountain, in pursuit Of a llaitia which had strayed from his flock. Sooif- after, the mines of SaciUecas, in New Spain,- little inferior to the other in value, w. ere opened. From that, time, successive discoveries' have been made in both colon es, and silver mines are now so numerous, that the working of them, and of some few mines of gold in the prov inces of Tierra Firuie, and the hew kingdom of Granada, has become the capital occupation of the Spaniards, and is reduced , into a system no less complicated than interesting. The exuberant profusion with which the moun- tains of the ireW w'orld poured forth their treasures, astonished mankind, who had been accustomed hitherto to receive a penurious supply of the precious metals from the more scanty stores con- tained in the mines of the ancient' hemisphere. Accord in { i- to principles of computation, which appear to be extremely moderate, the quantity of gold aud silver that has been regularly entered in the ports of Spain is equal in value to four millions sterling annually; reckoning from the year 1492, in which America was discovered, to the present time. This, in two hundred and eighty- three years, amounts to eleven hundred and thirty- two millions. Immense as this sum is, the Spanish writers contend, that as much more ought to be. added tort, in consideration of treasure which has been extracted from, the mines, and imported fraudulently into Spain, without paying duty tothe king. By this account, Spain has drawn from the new world a supply of wealth, amounting at least to two thousand millions of pounds sterling. The mines, which have yielded this amazin,, quantity of treasure, are not worked at the expense of the crown, or of the public. In order to en- courage private adventurers, the person who dis covers and works a new vein is entitled to the property of it. Upon laying his claim to such discovery before the governor of the province, certain extent of land is measured off, and a certain n timber of Indians allotted him, under the obligation of his opening the mine within a limited time, and of his paying the customary duty to tiie king for what it shall produce. Invited by the facility with which such grants are obtained, and encouraged by so me. striking examples of success hi this line of adventure, not only the sanguine and the bold, but the timid and diffident, enter upon it with astonish- ing ardour. Willi vast objects always in view,- fed continually with hope, and expecting every moment that fortune will unveil her secret stores, and give up the wealth which they contain, to their wishes they deem every other occupation insipid and un- interesting'. The charms of this pursuit, like the: rage for deep play, are so bewitching, and take such full possession of the mind, as even to give a new bent to the natural temper. Under its influ- ence, the cautious become enterprising, and the covetous profuse. Powerful as this charm naturally is, its force is augmented by the arts of an order of men known in Peru by the cant name of marchers: These are commonly persons of desperate fortune, who, availing themselves of some skii. i in mineraio- g- y, accompanied vvith the insinuating manner and confident pretensions peculiar to projectors, address the wealthy and the credulous. By plausible de- scriptions of the appearances which they have discovered of rich veins hitherto unexplored ; by producing, when requisite, specimens of promising ore; by affirming, with an imposing assurance, that success is certain, and the expense must be trifling, they seldom fail to persuade. An associa- ! tion is formed ; a small sum is advanced bv each co- partner; the mine is opened; the searcher is New Brazilian ....„;•„„;;',;;„.....; SHIPPING AND ROCK COMPANIES.

Such is the spirit that mast be formed, whereever tlie active exertions of any society are chiefly em- ployed in working mines of gold and silver. No spirit is more adverse to such improvements : in agriculture and commerce, as render a nation really opulent. If the system of administration in the Spanish colonies had been founded upon prin- ciples of sound policy, the power and ingenuity of the legislature would have been exerted with as much ardour, in restraining its subjects from such pernicious industry, as is now employed in alluring them towards it. i Projects of mining,' says a good judge of. the political conduct of nations, i instead of replacing the capital employed in them, together with the ordinary profit of stock, commonly absorb both capital arid profit. They are the projects, therefore, to which, of all others, a prudent," law- giver, who desired to increase the capital of his nation, would least choose to g- ive any extraordinary encouragement, or to turn towards them a greater share of that capital than would go to them of its own accord.

We are decidedly of opinion, that on particular occasions a mere statement of matter of fact, unaided bv much of other reasoning or { illustration, forms a stronger appeal to common sense than the most elaborate, disquisition. In the spirit of this conviction, we shall present our readers with a continuation of the various new schemes at present before the public, for the employment of British capital, without, the delivery of any opinions of our own on the comparative. merit of their pretensions, beyond a remark or two on the distinctive features of the various lines of adventure. Our purpose, indeed, is rather to form a great general inference, than a series of particular conclusions— to shew hy the very nature of the circumstances how necessarily the major part of this speculation must end de- lusively. When it is rendered unequivocally appa - rent, that. a certain number of things cannot possibly exist together, it is trite to observe, that a portion of that number must fail in some stage or other; and that they should fail as soon as possible, is doubtless the most desirable consummation. The following is a list, and if not inclusive of all these projects, it is quite sufficiently so for the purpose to w hich we have alluded : — RAIL- ROADS. CAPITALS.

The Hereford Triennial Musical Festival is ibis year fixed for the 23d, 24th,- and 25th of August. STATE OF THE STAGE.-— The state of the Stag- e at this moment seems to demand, from tfie public journalist, animadversions of a different kind from those which are usually bestowed on d amalid1 representations. Yet the* subject is so'painful and revolting, that we approach it with great dislike and especially as it. is: hardly possible to offer the few observations which we wish to make, without touching- on personal . allusions which it is equally our wish to avoid. We shall discharge our duty,- however, as mildly as .. we Can — It has ever been the boast of playing," " to'sh& w virtue her own feature, scorn her own im'age, aiid the very age and body of the time its form and pressure;" and our great national theatres have, JIS they ought, always claimed the highest merit, in this goodly race. " But what do ( hey shew li/ now? The public journals , Jof the country have been disgraced by the details of legal proceedings, so infamous, that even the most careful of the'irr was unfit for a youth- ful or a female eye : these proceedings attached to a seduced woman at one House,! and a seducer of the other sex at the other. Of the first we shall observe only, that it gave an unfortunate and unhappy notoriety to the party • of the last, that it exceeded the usual bounds of gross and vulgar de- pravity. In society, we heav nothing but senti- ments . which give scorn his own image, mingled with pity ill. the one case, and vvith disgust, at. the Joseph- Surfa'ce- like duplicity practised in the other. Yet it would appear, that to the Managers of our Patent Theatres these very circumstances have conferred a new value aud new attractions on the performers : the lady is to. grace the boards in a fortnight, and the gentleman is boldly advertised for Monday! And this is the season of the year, too, when the. youth of both sexes, and persons in humble life, are allowed theatrical pleasures as the' reward for good behaviour; and when whole aca- demies', and families of children, are repaid for their, studies and conduct, by being treated to see the Pantomimes ! Truly, the example must have its due effect: truly, the Stage must be acknow- ledged to be the school of pure morals ! Let us suppose a mother and her daughters on the first night of Miss Foote's appearance— for which, such is fashionable curiosity, there is not a place to be obtained-—" Why, mother, inquires an innocent girl— why is there so great si crowd, and so much tumultuous applause?" Can an answer be given without contamination ? can it be explained why a feeihvg of the baseness and heart! essness of be- trayers, aud of the prostitution of parents, has made Miss Foote an object of compassion ; and that this ebullition of popular favour is not a tribute to her virtue, but an expression of indignation against others ? Surely, it would have been well advised and decent, to have waited a season before ventur- ing into the public presence. But Covetit Garden / is sinking, sorely, since the characters ofa Siddons, ofan O'Neil, of a Stephens, graced its Green- room : at present, we will not inquire who are its shining- females, not otherwise too well known to the pub- lic: we have read the bills for the last week, during which, that " public has been respectfully acquainted, that Miss Foote is engaged, and that due notice will be given of her first appearance,'* without discovering more than two names which need be ashamed of the association. Can a Theatre complain of being inadequately patronized and filled, when, bv its own acts, it excludes ie.-> pecta- bility and modesty from its audiences t-^ Lite/ ary Gazette. LIABILITY FOR GVINO A FALSE CHARAC- TKR.— In the Court of Ring's Bench, on Saturday, an action was brought by Alderman Garratt, the Lord Mayor of London, against Mr. Stanton, a partner in the bouse of the late Holah, Johnson aud Co, Both parties are wholesale tea- dealers.— It appears that a person named Samuel Taylor offered himself as traveller to the house of Garratt and Co. Me referred for a character to the de- fendant, and being by him represented to be honest, industrious, and indefatigable, he was en- gaged. After being several years in the Lord Mayor's employment, he was found to have de- frauded him of upwards of £ 800. This led to Inquiries as to the truth of the character given by the defendant, and then it came out that he had embezzled large sums whilst in the employ of Holah and Co. and had actually repaid them £ 350 after entering the plaintiff's service.— Upon this evidence the Jury gave the Lord Mayor a verdict with £ 801. 3s. 3d. damages.— Taylor has been tried and transported. The Commissioners appointed in pursuance of the inquiries promoted by Mr. Brougham, relative to charities in England for the education of the poor, have made their eleventh report, and it has been printed by order of the Lords, & c. Like the pre. ceding reports, it. is bulky. It occupies nearly one thousand folio pages, and corn prises several hundred charities in the counties of Devon, Essex, Lancas- ter, Somerset, Stafford, Surrey, York, & c. IMPROPER CONDUCT TOWARDS AN AP PRENTICE.—- At the Guildhall, Worcester, on Wednesday, the Magistrates cancelled the inden- tures of an apprentice, aud discharged him from all obligations under them, on the ground of ill- usage and general bad treatment observed towards him by bis master. The receipts of the Customs for the Port of Bristol in the past year, exceeded those of liie year preceding by £ 40,000. It is generally understood that the only Rail Road Bill which will be brought before the House of Commons this Session will be that of Manchester and Liverpool; the property involved being too great to justify a suspension of the orders of the House for the other projects, whose notices are too late, Should the Manchester Bill pass, how- ever, it will be considered a sufficient sanction for all the other Companies to commence operations. What a paradox is a bed! it is a thing that we dislike to be obliged to heep, yet we are unwilling to be without— we go to it with reluctance, yet quit it with regret— we make up our minds every night to leave it early, and mahc up our bodies every morning to keep it late.— Economist. PEDRSTRIANISM.— The greatest pedestrian undertaking ever known was accomplished at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, by Mend is, groom to Capt. Ramsden, for 500 sovereigns. The task was to start at the 104 mile- stone near Peishore, Worcestershire, and to reach a given spot ( 103 miles) on the London side Bayswater, in twenty four hours. The pedestrian started from Pershore at three o'clock p m. on Tuesday, aud reached Broadway ( twelve miles) at a few minutes before five o'clock. Here the pedestrian had to encounter the two miles hill, which overlooks the beautiful vale of Evesham. He, however, covered his ground to Moreton in the Marsh within four hours ( twenty miles). At Chipping Norton the groom refreshed, and performed 52 miles in 25 minutes within half the time in good travelling order. He reached Wycombe 30 miles from home, and breakfasted soon after eight o'clock, and kept at his work at about four miles and a quarter an hour, and won very cleverly, with twelve minutes to spare. Captain Smith, the umpire, offered to back the pedestrian on the ground for a thousand sovereigns to perform 108 miles in 24 hours over two miles uf measured ground, but there were no lakers.

On the 10th inst. a Meeting of the BRECON CYMREIGYDDION was held ; when, after having been much gratified hy several excellent composi- tions by • Glanmehascpn the Bard, and by the delightful strains of Mr. Jones, Harper to the Breconshire Minstrelsy Society, who played several national airs on the triple harp with great execu- tion, the Rev. T. PIUCE addressed the meeting in the Antient British language upon the subject <> f their approaching anniversary on the 1st of March ; and, having dwelt for some time upon the extraordinary manner in which the Welsh nation had been preserved, together with their antient language, and in their antient territory, while the rest of Europe had undergone such mighty revo- lutions, aud had so frequently changed its inha- bitants and its languages, he observed, that as il must not be imagined that the acts of Providence are without design, the mind would naturally be led to inquire what the design could be ( if as yet. at all developed) in this singular preservation of their antient nation and speech. If he could, without impiety or presumption, dare to ask and to reply to such a question, he would say, that to him, in one. instance at least, the designs of Provi. dence were visible in the preservation of their race and language. H was among them that the great. Bible Society had its origin. It was the scarcity of the Scriptures in the Welsh language^ and the unceasing call of the people for a supply, that first suggested the idea of the Bible Society. They were Welshmen who first planned it, aud laboured in its formation ; it was an edition of the Welsh Bible that first issued from ils press ; and now it has extended itself to the most distant parts of the earth, and contributed towards the printing of the Scriptures in one hundred and forty languages. Thus a handful of coin sown on the mountains of Wales, has grown up and waves like the forests of Lilian us; and thus that language, which, from its confined and isolated state, was by many consider ed a detriment, and even a curse, has now imparted a new stimulus to its possessors, and proved blessing to the world. A few years ago, whatever he might have thought upon this subject as re garding the Bible Society, yet he might have hesi- tated at thus expressing himself; but now, the importance which that mighty engine had assumed in the world would secure him against the charge of fanaticism in thus connecting its origin with tbe existence of a nation. If those whom he addressed would see these things in the light that he himself did, they would join with him in wishing that his countrymen would not forfeit their privileges by neglect. Who could tell what they were reserved to be made the instruments of, and what moral impetus they were destined to communicate to the world? As connected with this subject, he hoped they would not relinquish the work which they had so spiritedly begun— that of supplying their brethren in Britanny with the Scriptures in their native tongue; and that they would not forget that there were in that Province eleven hundred thousand speaking a kindred language with their own, and who have never yet been blessed with a translation of the Bible. But he trusted that before long they would be raised from that, state of ignorance aud mental degradation, to which they had been reduced by the absence of the Scriptures and the neglect of their national literature. If any further argument were neces- sary, he would remind his hearers^ that it was a member of their Society, the Rev. John Hughes,* a native of that town, that first suggested the subject, and it was among themselves that the first collection was made for carrying it into effect. He was happy to add that their example had not been lost ; and, among others, he adverted to the instance of their Welsh countrymen in Dublin and to the very flattering mention they had made of the BRECON CYMREIGYDDIQN. lit was then resolved, that the Society should attend Divine Service in the Welsh language on St. David's Day ; and that a collection should be made for the purpose of translating the Bible into the Armorican. * Author of the ' Hares Britannicse, now residing in W rexham. of the country most recommended, and w ho gener- , ally knows nothing of the habits aud practices of tlie French; or else the more prudent parent accom- panies his child, in order to satisfy himself that his darling will run no . risk of being starved, or ether- ise ill- treated. In the part of France w here I was, are al present two kinds of schools, viz. con- vents aud private seminariesli- otli extremely ob- jectionable for children of Protestant parents. In first, the pupils are consigned entirely to the re of Nuns; and no giil can be admitted without n agreement that she shall . conform to the riles and remonies « , f the Catholic religion. In the second, h such a rule is not laid down, yet from un- ed information i believe no means are left ontr ed to make converts of every child that is • lit into the seminary. Probably in the first the parent has never heard of tins condition attached to tiie reception of his child till he is on the spot, and I. as settled every other point of the . orerment. It comes on him by surprise; and without thinking deeply on the consequences, he ives his assent, contenting himself perhaps with talking to his child in private, and desiring her to consider her compliance w ith these foolish ceremonies as mere matter of course, and by no means to allow them to influence her mind, nor make her forget that she is a Protestant. Alas ! of u hat weight can such counsels be oil the mind of a young creature, when opposed to the daily and hourly exhortations of iho* e very people to whose instructions aud care her parents have con- ned her? The " Nuns, from all I could learn, aie uniformly kind and forbearing to their jonng charges;" alt their pupils wilh whom I have cau- sed, speak in the highest terms of the treatment y receive from them, and consequently soon earn to love and reverence them. Their education is strictly attended to, as far as the ornament'ul branches extend, though as tn w hat is really useful English wives and mothers they must of ne- cessity be wholly ignorant. What, indeed, can s . secluded Nun know of such duties? hi' all this tlx Nuns perforin their engagement strictly and con cientiously ; but whilst we see them fulfil si upi iously their engagement with their fellow routines, can we be - surprised, on looking deeper, to find that they are equally zealous in performing what they deem a still more sacred duty toward that faith in - which they hav- e been reined? Surely not. Their very neglect of the opportunity of making converts, which has been so unadvisedly placed in their hands, would subject them to the reproof of heir own Church, and lend us to doubt of the sin- erity of their belief in their own faith. In private seminaries, though I believe much pains are taken to make converts, and sometimes ith considerable success, I yet do not think ihe pportunifies for effecting it are so frequent* nor are they so likely to be effectual as in the seclusion of a Convent; but I believe, on the other hand, there is much more danger of corruption of morals to be apprehended. The customs, and habits also, of the persons who keep these seminaries are quite opposed to the ideas of English people. Their dirty and loveuly manner of conducting their families and ttending to their persons, is a most improper ex mple to the young people Under their care, on I < 1 not help reflecting, as I conversed with ? farmer's daughter from Wales, who hud been at School for two years, what would be the mortification of her honest and probably well meaning parents lo find heron her return, though well skilled in French, drawing, & c. so much a stranger to the first prin- ciples of English cleanliness as never to suffer water to touch her face or neck, and to run about the house ail the morning slip shod^ dressed in a bedgown and nightcap. Amongst themselves, the Catholics consider fhe mania which has seized on the English Nation for foreign education to he a measure sent by God to promote the promulgation of the Catholic faith, and that it is by this means that England will be again brought into the bosom of the Mother Church. DRURY LANE.— Monday evening, cifriosity, or other motives, had draw n togetbeif so g) eat a crowd to witness Mr. Kean's first appear a sice after his late delinquency, that never, not. even upon the occasion of ihe King's last visit to the theatre, has been witnessed so tremendous a throng. Long before the doors were opened every avenue was blocked up, and the rush was terrific even at the box entrance. Iu the interior the confusion was little less. As usual, Richard the Third was the part selected, and he went through the whole play, from fhe beginning to end, in dumb show, with a degree of self- possession which his favourers will call firmness, and his opponents characterize by a much harsher term. No I a syllable which fell from his lips could at any one time be distinguished in the course of the play, nor were the appeals he vainly endeavoured to make to the audience more iccessfnl. HE attempted this more than once, but exCry effort was unavailing: they Woui( 3 not hear him. Notwithstanding its complement, the house made but a sombre appearance, from the deficiency of females, of whom there Were eight only in the dress circle. THE STAGE.— Public decency^- public delicacy — and the cause of public morals, have each and all achieved a triumphant security, in the signal re; eption of Mr. Kean, at Drury Lane Theatre, on Monday evening. With whom so gross an insult to pubiic taste originated, we know not ; but we cannot imagine any circumstances, or considera- tions of personal interest, sufficiently strong to justify any man in so disgusting an outrage upon fhe best feelings of society, as was attempted by the now degraded and humbled tragedian, whose talents are indisputable— but whose springs of conduct in private life—( for we cannot dishonour the Very name of principle by an association with ny thing so heartlessly vile, corrupt, and pmfli- te,)— must insure him the contcmpt of all honourable men — the scorn of all virtuous women and the utter distrust even of the most,. depraved members of the community.— Kean was, without exception, the most suddenly popular actor, of any mati since Garrick's first appearance in Good man's fields. He was raised from actual and positive penury to wealth aud independence, by a Loudon audience; and surely he owed some degree of respect to his first patrons, which should have deferred him from braving, and defying, that in- dignation which common sense might have told him, ever follows a breach of British hospitality.— A voluntary exile to America might have re- im bussed him as far as the expenses of this shameful action have gone— and an interval of a year or two might have reconciled the British public, to the re appearance of a clever actor—- but a bad man.- Cooke, reviled as he was, never outraged domestic happiness as Kean has done.

CROMER, JAN. 20.— On Saturday morning last a large mass of earth was detached from a part of the hills near Cromer, called Lighthouse Hills, Which at that place are about 250 feet in height It fell with great force on the beach, extending itself beyond the low- water mark about 300 yards from the cliff; it is calculated that it now covers upwards of twelve acres, and that it must contain not less than half a million of cubic yards, equal to as many cart loads. 11 is much resorted to by the curious; several fossil bones and other things having been taken up and noticed; a large and rapid stream of water immediately after its fall issued from the bank, discharging itself down on the beach with great noise and violence. Wednesday morning, the inhabitants of Shad- thames and its vicinity were thrown into the greatest alarm by observing vast columns of smoke rising from one of the corn warehouses of Messrs Dunkin and Co., which runs parallel With Gains, ford street; the alarm was scarcely given, When an immense body of flames burst through every avenue, and in a'few minutes the whole buildin. was one mass of fire. So rapid was the flames that none of fhe stock could he saved. The fire engines from the different stations soon arrived, but from tiie want of water three quarters of an hour elapsed before they could be full in action, Ou the op posite side of Shadthames stands a large range of granaries containing many thousand quarters of corn and flour, and for the safety of that immense pile of buildings great fears were entertained, as the flames had just caught the wood- work of the nearest one when the water rushed into the pipes and owing to the exertions of the firemen, they succeeded in confining the fire to where it originally burst out. No account could be given as lo the cause. WHOLESALE SHEEP STEALING.— A youn man, shepherd to Mr. Free, of Tharfield, i Hertfordshire, lately gave his master warning informing him that he had engaged himself to another master in Buckinghamshire, and at the expiration of his time he accordingly left, ap patently to go to his new place: but, instead of which, he soon returned to Tharfield, and look the whole flock of a neighbouring farmer, of the name of Ward ( Consisting of upwards of 60), out of the fold, and set off with them to New market fair, driving them all the Sunday night, to arrive iu time. The condition of the sheep, and the behaviour of the man, attracted attention and a dealer was not long before be bargained for the flock, and when he had done so, he communi- cated his suspicions to the young man, and told him that he should accompany his man home with the sheep, w hen, if he found he had come honestly by them, he would pay him. This was agreed to, and the thief went away with the dealer's man but as soon as he saw a convenient opportunity after leaving Newmarket, he made his escape, but was taken the next day, at Tharfield, when it was proved, what with turnpikes and other charges that he was minus 5s. 7 § d. by the adventure. He has been committed to Hertford Gaol. FATAL PUGILISM.— On Saturday evening tw young men, one named Ezra Cozier, a blacksmith, About 1,000,000 Bibles and Testaments, and 2 millions of Common- Prayer and other religious books, have been distributed within the last 10 years by the Society for Promoting Christian novvledge.— The Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreigu Parts expended, last year, near £ 24,000.

Without encumbering our calculation with 780,000 from the age of one year to fifteen, or those of old age and decrepitude ( a tolerable component of ihe boasted Six MILLIONS, SO •• ften the theme of certain brawling orators), we will take the numbers from the ages of fifteen to sixty, which appear to be 3,700,000; of these, ,850,000 are females— there are therefore, pro- bably, only a corresponding number of males of the age capable of bearing arms. Now in Ulster alone there are, of ihe above 1 850,000, no less than 945,330, more than one half. Of this latter number, about 300,000 are generally admitted to be of fhe Established Church, or Dissenters; now, if for the remaining three Provinces ( and we must bear in mind the numerous Corporations, & e.) we assume 300,000 more, we may moderately estimate the Catholics and Protestants capable of bearing arms, as two to one.— This is the physical but should we view the moral one, it is obvious the latter have an overwhelming prepon- derance. It is a curious fact, that while in Ulster the number of the class of Infancy are much less than in the other provinces, especially Munster, the ranks of manhood and good old age are mar- vellously denser. If possession of the soil, actual strength, and moral superiority iu contradistinction to numbers, const it ate the right of properly, we should conceive the above fart calculated to give weight to the sentiments of the Protestants of Ireland, and withdraw any alarm that may exist in their minds of the physical strength of the Roman Catholics.— Dublin Star. WILLIAM COBBETT.— The twistings and tuni- ngs of this self contradicting writer, are so noto- ions, that it would be an idle waste of time to dilate upon them. It must amuse some of his new Irish friends to read what was once his opi nion of all Irishmen. The followingadvertisement ppears in a Paper called the Porcupine, printed by Cobbett, in America, February 18, 1795:— " I want a Printer. No damnable Irishman need apply." In the same Paper lie has, as a motto to an essay against the Irish nation: a race Able to bring a gibbet to disgrace To another essay, in which he describes the people of Ireland as " a ferocious, savage, and treacherous pack of rascals, fond of rapine and blood, and fit only to reside among the wild beasts of the wood and wilderness, he gives this motto:— ei —— I would not quote The name of Pat without an antidote. In a letter to Mr. Adams, the then President of the United States, Mr. Cobbett gives the following character of those persons whom he is now be> praising; whether he was prophetic, and had the " Catholic Association" in his eye, or not, it impossible for us fo say : s An Irishman is a natural Jacobin, and incurable by acts - of lenity, generosity, and friendly dealing ; for though he will temporise to gain his purpose, yet he will be sure fo lay hold of the first opportu- nity to disturb the State he resides in, and cut his neighbour's throat." Addressing the President on another occasion, he says— u Send the murderous ruffians to hell— or, if you must deal them mercy, order them into the Swamps of Louisiana; there, like the Negro Slaves, to cul- tivate the woods." So much for Cobbett, and his friends in ti eland I ABRIDGEMENT.— The alterations in York City Gaol, for the classification of offenders, will cost about £ 12,000 '.— The recent death of Lord Eardley ( formerly Sir S. Gideon) without male issue, puts his daughter, Lady Say and Sele, into possession of an income of £ 30,000 a year.— There are now 13 prisoners in York Castle on charges of Murder. There is at present in Newtownards, a baiber, who is perhaps excelled by none in the useful art of knitting. He wears every day, shoes, stockings, breeches, and coat, all of which he has wrought by the knitting needle alone! The coat is all of a piece, close before and behind, something after the form of a flannel waistcoat. His night. cap is also of his own manufacture; so that from head to foot his clothing is all of his own handwork, and wrought solely by the knitting needle. He has just finished by the same instrument a large quilt of cotton, in which his name, place of residence, & c. are wrought in capital letters. He has now, more- over, another quilt in hand, which will be orna- mented with a variety of freemason's enigmatical figures, together with his name, & c. and the num- ber of that lodge of which he is a member.

" Madame," he replied, If the thing be possible, it is already done: if impossible, it shall be done." GREAT WESTMINSTER DAIIFY.— The above Company is formed for the purpose of supplying Westminster and its vicinity with genuine Milk and Cream. A capital has been formed of £ 200,000 in 8,000 shares of £ 25 each. Persons of skill in the management of cows il is said will be employed ; aud lo prevent the possibility of adulteration, the milk w ill be delivered from the Company's different establishments in cans effectually secured by locks. The demand for cream it is Contemplated will en- able the Company to supply tbe poor with skimmed milk at a low price! A Company has been established in Edinburgh, for building Small Houses for workmen and their families, Ihe rents of which are to be collected in weekly or such other payments, as may best suit the convenience of the tenants ; who will also be encouraged to become proprietors of them, by depositing at their convenience such small sums as their circumstances may easily afford, which sums will accumulate at interest till they amount to the purchase- money, or will be applied to the reduction of the rent. BRIGHTON.— From a fishing hamlet of 250 houses, Brighton has, within a century, expanded into a magnificent town, accommodating, during its season, which continues ten months out of the twelve, at least 40,000 residents and strangers. From the demand for houses, plans have been lately adopted for extending the town opposite the sea both to the east and west: this frontage is now two miles ; but when the new erections are com. pletcd, the Marine Promenade will extend three miles, Tbe Royal Sfablts at Pimlico, recently built at the further extremity of the gardens which are a mile in circumference behind Buckingham House, are being actively got ready for use. They are of amazing extent, of much solidify as well as archi- tectural deeoration; the centre forms a large square in which horses may be exercised; and there are several good residences for ihe occupa. tion of officers, & c. The workmen are busily engaged in completing the stables, & c, layiug down pipes, preparing the roads, & c. and every thing bears the appearance of an early occupation of them being contemplated. It is expected that these stables will be put into immediate use, in the event of his Majesty removing from Carlton Palace to St. James's Palace. The large Riding- School behind Buckingham Palace is undergoing thorough repair; it is now filled with scaffolding and workmen, but there are no signs of any thing being done with Buckingham House, which is now not even wanted for the holding of Levees or Drawing- rooms. % simtifit anft i^ iacdiara^ t!^ DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK— A New York Paper communicates the following account of recent sufferings by shipwreck. Capt, Hall sailed from Boston on 22d September, in the sloop Sally, of St. George, bound to Machias, His crew consisted of two young lads, 17 or 18 years old ; and he had on board two female passengers belonging.. to Machias. After leaving Boston, they soon experienced very rough arid boisterous weather, and after being out 26 days, while scudding under bare poles, in a violent gale, they lost both their mast and rudder, from which time they drifted at the mercy of the winds and waves 21 days longer, before they were taken off from the wreck. In a few days they found their store of provisions reduced to nine biscuits. Upon this morsel five persons lived so sparingly as to make it last 14 days. At last the biscuit, failed, and no help appeared. Their only sustenance now was two or three rats which they were so fortunate as to obtain by means of a cat which they had on board ; and filially they feasted their famished bodies on the cat herself. These means of sustenance finally failed them, and still there was no prospect of relief. They had hitherto been obliged to keep one hand at the pump most of tlie time to prevent the vessel from sinking. But they had now become so weak as to be scarcely able to Walk. Three days longer they survived without the least sustenance, save what they obtained from an old beef bone, which they boiled over five times, and drank the liquor, which became slightly nutritive by means of the marrow and fat of the bone. Two days before they were relieved, a brig hove in sight— their dying hearts and the other James Miller, a carter, quarrelled, , : . .- . .. • , , , • . . , » / r i • ? revived within them, and their half- glazed eves and determined to meet on Monday morning, and , ieame(, wl( I, h The ,) ri drew * she * as CIQ 1 t'noc t * it* . ii*.. • • . decide their dispute, depositing 5s. each, as earnest for the sum of £ 1 each, as a further stimulus to The report of the death of the Lord Bishop of I their prowess, to be the reward of the conqueror.

Forty years ago it was a rare accomplishment even for a gentlewoman Kildare is without foundation.— The erroneous statement originated in a Dublin Paper. IRON AND COAL— Since Lady- Day last, the price of manufactured iron at the works has ad - vanced from £ 7. 10s. lo £ 13 per ton: and during the same period Coal has advanced 4s. per ton at the Pits. We are informed that two very eminent corn- fa; tors have had frequent conferences with Mr. Huskissonand Mr. Grant, who are both of opinion that the ports should be opened, and that a duty of 25 per cent, would be a sufficient protection of the agricultural interest. They express themselves of opinion that the present system is fraught with many pernicious consequences, amongst which the inducement to make fraudulent returns on one side to counteract ihose made on the other, is by no means the least. Ipswich, it is stated, as an instance, a few months since returned the sale of 1,900 quarters of oats at 17s. and 18s. per quarter, when in point of fact it was well known there was not 900 in the town, and corn dealers were pur- chasing in London at that very time iu the London markets at 26s. and 27s. per quarter.— We are also informed that an opinion has been given by the Attorney and Solicitor- Generals on a question of a very important nature to corn dealers and to the public. It was held by a very eminent Counsel on a recent occasion that to satisfy the Corn Laws a delivery of the bulk must take place in order to constitute a sale, for which purpose a delivery by sample would not suffice. The Law Authorities when their opinion was taken by some private individuals interested, have declared their opinion, that u no action" [ i. e. for penalties under the statute] " can be had on the ground of an actual to speak French ; now the childi- enV the most I non- delivery, inasmuch as ihe granary keeper after in cash notes, except a dr: paltry huckster's shop must learn that language. I notice of a sale ticket and transfer note would be I bending the delinquents, Of course it is natural for, parents in this rank of life to adopt the cheapest method of instruction for their children. They hear of the wonderful cheapness of education in France, where perhaps for twenty or thirty pounds a year they can have them both taught and fed. The temptation is irresistible. The child- ren are either sent, to France, under the care of some neighbour whose business may lead him to the part a trnstee'of corn for the buyer, which is equivalent to an actual delivery by the seller/'— English Chronicle.

I ed to twelve pound* Accordingly, at eighl o'clock on the appointed day, they met, and repaired to a field on the New Painswick- road, Gloucestershire, each attended by his backer, or handler. After lighting for nearly half an hour. Cozier, on being brought up to time, staggered, and appeared so incapable of further exertion, that the spectators separated the combatants, and it vvas discovered that the un- fortunate young man had received some serious injury, as he complained of dreadful pain about his head. He was carried to ihe Norwood Arms inn, near the place, hut before he reached the house he was a corpse.— In the course of the day, his opponent and the respective backers of the parties, left the neighbourhood, until the verdict of the coroner's inquest was known. On the arrival of the coroner, J, Cooke, Esq. on Tuesday, the jury assembled at the Norwood Arms, and viewed the body, which was subsequently opened, and it was clearly ascertained by the examination of Messrs. Eves and Mountjoy, that his death was occasioned by a blow on the jugular vein, on which a severe contusion appeared, and a quantity of ex- travasated blood was found on the brain. The jury were occupied from one o'clock iu the afternoon, till nine iu the evening, when they returned a ver- dict of Manslaughter against James Miller, principal, and Edward Mansel & William Hadlam, as seconds. CAUTION TO TRAVELLERS.— Not many days ago, two gentlemen of this description,, had their pockets picked at Lane- End, by two notorious Cyprians, who were on the look out near the inn, to entrap the unwary; one of them was eased of ten sovereigns, seven of which he recovered, the other of one hundred and uinety- one pounds, all draft for £ 25.— On appre- and resorting to severe measures, they acknowledged the crime, and said the money was in the possession of their bully, man named Shenton, who was secured, and after much altercation, gave up the whole of the cash not more than half a mile distant; she hauled to fhe wind, threw back her top- sails, and appeared to be watching the wreck. With longing eyes the dying sufferers waited to see the boat lowered info the wafer. But whilst they watched, behold the brig filled her sails, kept on her course, and was out of sight. Hunger had now driven them to fhe last resource. One must perish lo preserve the lives of the others a little Ion ger. Who that one should he they solemnly agreed to determine the next day at twelve o'clock, if Providence should not sooner inter- pose in their behalf. But they were not left to this sad extremity. About three o'clock iu the after- noon, the brig Daniel, Capt. Lawton, of Dartmouth ( England), appeared in sight, took them from the wreck, and carried them to St. John's, Newfound- land, where they were treated with the greatest possible kindness. They were furnished with an abundance of clothing and money, and after their strength was sufficiently restored, they took passage for New York, where they safely arrived. FREEMASONRY.— The following remarkable occurrence, which our readers may fully rely on to be authentic, is well worthy of observation, and may be read by many with peculiar interest and pleasure, as it plainly shews the advantages arising from this truly excellent Institution. During the late dreadful tempest a Swedish vessel, the Carl Joahan, Capt. Peter Walrouth master, a Swede, was driven on shore on the coast of Hampshire, and totally wrecked. The Captain and crew were with considerable difficulty saved; but immediately on their setting foot on shore, a Gentleman, who was a FYeemason, by a peculiar sign recognised in the Captain a brother mason; the latter immediately flew to the Gentleman as to an old and confidential friend, and firmly grasped his hand, to the no small surprise of the crew and the other persons sembled. It appeared a consolation to the Captain, who, in broken English, expressed his thankfulness to the All- wise Disposer of events, that in a foreign land, and amidst the horrors of shipwreck, he had met with a friend and a brother, in whom he could implicitly confide. It is needless to add that the Captain and crew, during their stay, experienced every hospitality and comfort; but we must not omit tostate, that siuce Captain Walrouth's arrival in Sweden, he has written to express his gratitude for tbe humanity and friendship shewn him on the above occasion.— Dorset County Chronicle, IMPORTANT INVENTION.— A person of the name of Roberts, who is at present in Bolton, has constructed an apparatus which will prove useful and valuable in the highest degree. Its object is the safety of life and property, in case of fire, or where any suffocating or noxious vapour exists, consists of a hood and mouth- piece, so con trived as to render the wearer enabled to breathe, with perfect ease and safety, in the midst of the densest smoke. In case of dwelling houses, ware- houses, factories, ships at sea, See. being on fire* its advantages are incalculable. Roberts exhibited the efficacy of the above extraordinary discovery at the mines of ihe Earl of Balcarras, a few weeks since, to the complete satisfaction of those who witnessed it. A LIFE SAVED BY THE STOMACH PUMFV On Monday, at Brighton, a young man attempted to poison himself by taking a quantity of arsenic with as little delay as possible, ReecPsPaterit Syringe was introduced into the stomachy and successfully removed the whole contents, although it was not until a large key was determinaleiy introduced and retained between the patient's teeth, that he would allow the introduction of the tube. This is the first instance where the syringe has been ap plied to arsenical poison; and must, therefore, be considered as highly important. STUTTERING.— From the Dumfries Courier — Within these very few days we have received information, from unquestionable authority, that there is now in Edinburgh a gentleman of high honour and respectability, who has, by what means we know not, discovered a complete cure for that distressing malady, wilh which we are aware many of our brethren of mankind are more or less afflicted, stuttering or stammering in their speech, and whose utterance is not only painful to themselves hut distressing to their auditors. Among many others, we are enabled from the authority alluded to, to mention two very recent examples. A lady, among the highest in rank and quality in Scotland, who from her infancy had laboured under this dis- tressing complaint, having heard of this gentleman applied to him for his aid. In a short time h< effected the promised cure, and since that period now some months, she speaks without the smallesl discoverable impediment. The second example which we are enabled to mention, is a gentleman o! high connexions and respectability, and we believe a partner in one of the first Banking- houses in Lou don. Having also from his infancy laboured undo the same afflicting privation of utterance, on re ceiving information from a particular friend i Edinburgh of the cures effected by the Gentleman first referred to, became to that city on Saturday the 13th November last. The two gentlemen weie introduced to each other, and dined together in the house of the friend of the stranger, with a large party of Ladies and Gentlemen, all of whom heard and commiserated the distress and difficulty of utterance of the London Gentleman, and wen unanimously of opinion that his deficiency in pro. nouneing many words vvas incurable, and thai every attempt to remove the impediment would be in vain. The Gentleman and his Preceptor had a meeting on the forenoon of the following Monday, and in a fe hours the friend of the former received a note, stating that he was completely cured, and was at that time capable of holding conversation on any subject, and to any length, without the slightest stammer, or stutter, or impediment of any descrip- tion. A Gentleman of this town was one of those to whom the London stranger was introduced on the Saturday, diried wilh him, and concurred in the opinion of the company that any cure was hopeless He read the note, communicating his perfect re. corery, on Monday, and on the Thursday following he was an hour in the stranger's company, an ' during the whole of the conversation, the greatest part of which was engrossed by the emancipated and interesting stranger, he could not perceive th smallest deficiency, difficulty, or embarrassment, o utterance, neither would he have suspected, if h had not seen and heard him on the preceding Satui day, that he had ever laboured under such imped ment. We forbear at present, from making any comments or observations on this most extraordina discovery and cure ; but the f'acls which we hav stated being beyond doubt authentic, we may on say that the Gentleman who made the discovery an performs the cure, is not only well entitled to liberally remunerated by individuals who quire his aid, but is also well entitled to tl; and acknowledgment* of society. ECONOMY IN CANDLES.— If you are without rush light, and would burn a candle all night, unless you use the following precaution, it is ten to one an ordinary candle will gutter away in an hour or two, sometimes to the endangering the safety of the house. This may be avoided by placing as much common salt, finely powdered, as will reach from the tallow to the bottom of ihe black part of the wick of a partly burnt candle; when, if the same be lit, it will burn very slow ly, yielding a sufficient light for a bed- chamber : the salt will gradually sink as the tallow is consumed, the melted tallow being drawn through the salt, •* nd consumed in the wick — The Economist. WATER AND ICE PRODUCE FIRE.— Throw piece of potassium, about as large as a pepper- corn, on the surface of water in a basin ; the in- stant the metal meets the water, it bursts into flame, with a slight explosion, it continues to urn till the whole of the potassium is consumed, arting from one side of the vessel lo the other, or running to and fro on the surface of the water, ery rapidly, in the form of a red hot fire ball. If pitce of potassium he placed on ice, it instantly takes fire, burns with a bright flame, and melts a deep hole in the ice. This curious phenomenon i* nused by the great affinity which the potassium has > r oxygen, in consequence of which it decomposes ater and ice, combining with Ihe oxygen with uch intensity as to produce heat and light and setting fire to the hydrogen, which is liberated, " he result of the combustion of the metal is the alkali potassa, which is thus shown to be an oxide of the metal potassium.— Chemist. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.— We have already mentioned that an Act was passed on the 17th of • lune last, for ascertaining and establishing uni- formity of weights and measures. The Act takes fleet from the Isl of May next. The following is an abstract of il : — Measures.— One- third of Ihe slap, lard yard shall be a fool, lire twelfth part of saeh foot one inch; pole or perch, in leugili, five such yards and a half; ' Wlong, 220 such yards; the mile,' 1700 sneh yards, " he rood of land shall contain 1210 square yards; e acre of laud, 4843 such square yards, being 160 square perches or poles. Weights.— One- twelfth part of a Troy pound oil. ounce; one- twentieth of said ounce a penny- weight; one twenty- fmirlh part of such penny weight a nin ; so that 5760 such grains sliali he a' Troy pound, and 7000 such grains shall he a pound avoir- Iupois; and one. sixteenth part of the said pound voirdupois shall he an ounce avoirdnpoise; aucl one sixteenth pari of such ounce shall he a dram. Measures of Liquids and Dry Goods.— The stanil- rd measure of capacily for liquids as well as dry ouds, not measure, I hy heaped measure— the gallon contain 10 pounds avoirdupois weight of water; Ihe quart shall he the fourlh part of Ihe standard - allon; the pint the one. eiglith of such standard a I Ion; and two such gallons a peck; and eight such gallons a bushel; and eight snch bushels a uarler of corn or other dry goods, not measured hy heaped measure. The bushel is to contain SO pounds avoirdupois of water as aforesaid. Il ia to he made round, with a plain and ever, bottom, and 19 inches nd a half from outside to outside, of such standard measure. Coals and other sroods. and those commonly sold hy • aped measure, to he filled up in the form of a cone of the height of at least Ij inches'; 3 bushels lo be a sack, and 12 sai'ks a chaldron. The standard gallon in bulk lo he equal to 277 cubic inches, anil 274 one- lhoxsa, id parts of a cubic inch ; and so on in proportion for nil parts or multi ples of a gallon. All contracts, bargains, sales, and dealings shall he according to the standard weights and measures ascertained by the Act, where no special agreement ball he made to the contrary. It is allowed to use the weights and measure* which persons may have in their possession, prn- ided Ihe rates of proportions which all such n, en- ures and weights shall bear lo the standard weights and measures established by ti e Act, are painted or marked upon all such customary weights and mea- sures. Bnt no maker of weights and measures shall be permitted to make thetn after the 1st of May but according to the standard established hy this Act. Magistrates, within six calendar months afler the passing of this Act, are lo purchase for their re- spective counties, cities, Sic. standards of the new weights and measures. [ It may he necessary to remark, that the formation of the new standards established hv this Act, hat long occupied the attention of several scientific men. Tables are to be published, under tbe authority of Government, shewing the relative proportions'be- tween the new standard and those now in use; and upon these tables the calculations of the Excise and Customs will be made.] METEOROLOGICA L JOURNAL, From Jan. 17 lo Jan. 24.
