To a disposition mild and tillable, the deceased added i!- os6 liberal and cha- lable feelings which gained him the respect and esteem of every one who knew him. Few indiyidu- ' s. have lasted more of the cup of sorrow and afflic- ioji thai) Mr. Drinkwater did during the last 15or 16 years. Previous to that period be felt himself ripreuiely happy in the affections of an amiable consort, and the endearments of a very numerous offspring, yet'a few short years deprived him of the solace of the one, and, with the exception of an only surviving- son, of the pleasing attractions of other. These severe trials, however, with titers unnecessary to notice, as well as the illness which has taken him to that bourne front whence no traveller returns, he bore with that fortitude and nation to the Divine Will which ever supports the ' true christian, and which, whilst it affords consolation lo surviving relations, exhibits an ex- cellent example to friends and acquaintances— by a numerous body of whom the virtues of the deceased will long lie cherished and remembered. On Wednesday morning last, at an advanced age, at her bouse iu Bolton- Row, Loudon, the Dowager Lady Jerningliam, relict of the late Sir William Jefningham, Bart aud mother of the present Lord Stafford. She was the eldest daughter of Henry, the eleventh Viscount Dillon, by the Lady Charlotte Lee, eldest daughter and co- heir of Henry Earl of Lichfield, grandson of King Charles the Second, by Barbara Villiers Duchess of Cleveland. On Saturday morning-, aged 74, the Venerable aud Reverend Thomas Rudge, B. D. Archdeacon of the Diocese of Gloucester, Chancellor of the Dio- cese of Hereford, Vicar of Harestield, Gloucester- shire,. and, for a period of 41 years, Hector of St. Michael's, Gloucester.

On the 27th ult. after a long illness borue with pious resignation, Mrs. Bromley, wife of Mr FT. Bromley, of Houghton, highly and deservedly respected and regretted.

Wood, printer, of this town On Thursday last, Mr. R. Stevens, shoemaker, of Mardol, iu this town. The Commission of Assize for Ihis Couniy will be opened on Wednesday next.— The Calendar at present contains the names of 23 prisoners; of whom 1 is charged with child- murder: I with manslaughter ; 3 with burglary or housebreaking; 2 with horsestealing; 1 " ith sheep-, stealing; and several of the others with felonies of a serious character. Mr Wombwell's Menagerie, now in this townj contains the celebrated Lion, NERO, matched to fight six bull- dogs or mastiffs, on Worcester Rate Course, for 5000 sovereigns'.— We need only refer our readers to the Advertisement, in order to point out the unparalleled gratification they have the opportunity of deriving from an inspection of Mr. WonihweU's matchless collection of the Rarities and Wonders of Nature. DRKAOFUI, ACCIDENT.— Oh the 1st instant, the Hon. East India Company's ship, Kent, on her voyage for Bengal with troops, accidentally took fire, and sunk in the Bay of Biscay, in conse quence of a lighted lamp falling upon some Spirits in the hold.— Providentially the Cambria, hound for Mexico, with miners, & c'. hove in sight, and out of 637 son Is on board, 517 were, by great ex- ertion, got safely on hoard the Cambria, which put back, and lauded them at Falmouth on Thursday last.— 64 troops, 1 woman, 21 children, 1 seaman, and' 3 marine'boys, were lost. IN the HOUSE OF LORDS, Ihis evening, the Bill for abolishing tile use of Spring Guns in pre- serving Game, was committed and reported.— Several Peers thought the use of Spring Guns ought to he generally prohibited. The Catholic Association Suppression Bill was read a third time, after some discussion, and passed. At the hour of post, the IIOCSE OF COMMONS were left debating ou the second reading of Mr. Stuart Wortley's Game Laws Bill. OxroRB CIRCUIT.— At the Berkshire Assizes, no less than nine prisoners were capitally convicted of the crime of burglary. At Oxford, there were 23 prisoners. Against four, convicted of different offences, sentence of death was recorded ; and, among the others-, IVm. Kerne, chimney- sweeper, was found guilty of picking the pocket of a gentleman of the Univer- sity, ill' the Town. Hall, during the trials, oil Thursday, and sentenced to three years' imprison- ment and hard labour. ( On Friday, during the sitting of the Court, in the same Hall, another gentleman bad his pocket picked of £- 32 ; but the offender escaped with his booty.) On Saturday, the Commission was opened at Worcester, where the calendar contained 42 pri- soners.— At Nisi P/ ius 31 venires had been returned. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. Sis, I. In the last Chronicle is a long paragraph re- specting the Bill now in progress for the dissolution of ^ he House of Industry, in which it is stated that " it was never intended by the Committee to pro- ceed with the2d reading until after the Assizes, ' yet we have heard it asserted that it was intended ' to hurry the proceedings through Parliament." Now, Mr. Editor; it is but fair that the public should know the truth, upon this as well as upon another point or two.— Application was made by the Solicitor of the Opponents of the Bill, to the Committee, through their Solicitor, vet to hurry forward the second reading of the Bill, and the answer he received was that " the Hill would be proceeded in forthwith"— to much for intention. In the sanie paragraph it is also stated, that " It is also asserted that the Committee appointed by " the Guardians and Parishioners have refused the " opponents in St. Mary's Parish a perusal of the " Report of the Sub- Committee," and then the reade: r Is called upon to " mark its contradiction" by a long string of what are called " facts," against which I think it requisite merely to assert, that the opponents comprize not only a greai ma jority of St. Mary's Parish, but also a numerous body of highly respectable individuals and pro- prietors of property in the other Parishes, and on their Solicitor applying to the Committee, through their Solicitor, for liberty to take a'. Copf. of, the Repmrl, HE RECEIVED A REFUSAL. The same Solicitor also applied to the Directors of the House of Industry for liberty to inspect and take copies or extracts from the books and papers, and here again, with alike liberality, the casting vote of the Chairman caused liiui A REFUSAL, although the Solicitor for the Bill was not only permitted to inspect but also to take papers away. These REFUSALS, which can readily he proved, I leave to tlie dispassionate consideration of every sensible and unprejudiced mind, and remain, Your's § tc. A PARISHIONER OF ST. CHAD. T S MEETING of the COMMITTEE for the IMPROVEMENT of the CASTLE GATES : RESOLVED, That it is highly expedient, for the Sake | of Humanity, for the general Appearance of the Town, and for " the. personal Convenience of all Persons entering it by the Castle Foregate, aud for the Advantage of a l heavy Carriage ( particularly Coals), that the Road should be lowered towards the Top and raised towards the Bottom, so as to form a more regularly inclined Plane, aud the Surface properly laid with Broken Stor. es. That the Sum necessary for effecting a lowering of Four Feet at the Top and a raising of Two Feet opposite the Castle Inn, and connecting the Pres- ton Brockiiurst, Ellesmere, and Bascliurch Roads with the Castle Gates at that Point, will be ( ac- cording to the best Calculation) £ 464. 12s. 6d. ex- clusive of covering the new Road with Broken Stones, and Curbing and Paving the Footpaths, which will be done by the Committee of Manage- ment under the Street Act. That Circular Letters be written to the principal Persons interested in such an Improvement, stating the above Circumstances, and earnestly soliciting their Subscriptions in Support of it. That these Resolutions be advertised in each of the Shrewsbury Papers; nnd that Books be. opened at each of the Banks to receive the Subscriptions of the Public who may be inclined to contribute towards the Expense of this Improvement.

FOSXTIVELY THE LAST 4W& HTS, Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary the R£ v. William Thomas House- Visitors, M Clement and Mr. Griffith. Additional Subscriber to that . Charity, Mrs. Aylett, Shrewsbury £ 1 I 0 MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.— One of these In stitutions, which are so strongly recommended by Mr. Brougham, in a pamphlet lately published by hini on the Education of the Poor, is formed in thi~ town, and the plan, with other particulars., will, w are informed, be laid before the. public in th course of a few days. Description of a New Instrument for Level- liny, Sfc.-~ Au instrument of a very simple construction aud moderate cost,' will presently be submitted to the - in- spection of the public : it is particularly well adapted for irrigation, draining, the formation of roads, and the like, as far as the distances may be taken without a telescope, and is constructed upon the following principle.-- A pair of float*, made of ivory or hard wood, about 12 inches asunder, are both acted upon by one and the same body of quicksilver, and the parts of the instrument b€ ing nicely adjusted, as to weights and dimensions, it cannot fail of giving the most exact level.— The instrument revolves upon a central pivot, supported by a three- legged stand, and instantly adjusts itself: it may be turned about in any direction, or up- si; 3e down, without losing any of the quicksilver. It is not calculated to supersede the use of tlie spirit level with a telescope; but it is recommended a « a convenient substitute on ordinary occasions. The spirit level not only requires to be well proved at first,. but takes, a good while in adjusting it for each observation, and is very liable to be injured; while the quicksilver leVel ad- justs itself, and would receive no injury if accidentally thrown down. Its accuracy is readily proved by placing the graduated staff at 50 or 100 yards distance:, having moved the object which slides on the staff into a line with • the tops of the floats, turn the instrument half round, putting that float nearest to the eye which before was farthest off; and if the, object is stilf in the line with the tops of the floats the instrument is correct; or should there be any difference, half the difference must be the true level.—- It cannot, however, be incorrect, if. due care has been taken as to the heights and dimensions of the material parts of the instrument. It Should be noticed whether the floats act freely, for although it would require some pres sure to immerse the floats deeply in the quicksilver, it might require a sharp tap with the hand to set them at liberty.

SIR, I have been an inhabitant of Shrewsbury the greater part of my lite, during which I have not been an inattentive spectator of its public proceed- ings. And, as far as I have observed, the public business of the town has been always conducted with propriety and decorum, until the recent dis. enssions were started respecting our House of in- dustry. At two of the meetings of tlie Guardians of the Poor, language was uttered, and recorded ill the Newspapers, which will not soon be forgotten. The gross personalities, the vulgar rlnputatioiis, the upstart insolence, and overbearing vehemence, dis- pluved on those occasions by certain raiididatss for popular applause and lovers of parochial rule, have excited among the friends of order and, decency a strong feeling of disgust. The proceedings al those meetings art1 utterly unworthy of the character of the Town : and they have been consistently followed up by sundry re- marks, breathing the same spirit, in the Shrewsbury Chronicle: till at length individuals are threatened, if they attend select vestries to oppose the Bill now in Parliament, with having observations made upon their conduct which they wilt " dislike." Our Town Legislators, it seems, have, in the plenitude of their wisdom, resolved upon certain measures, as to the management of our Poor, which they are determined to carry at all events. And if opposed, then let their opponents beware : for this formidable body include among their number an eminent anatomist, a practised Cutter- upof Charac- ter, whom no remorse can touch; to whose oper- ations such individuals will be delivered up as are judged fit subjects for the Knife, if they should dare to stand forward in opposition to theidecrees of the Salopian Senate. . : Is this the way, I would ask, in which a question of Pounds, Shillings, and Pence is to be determined? Is this the spirit with which we are to commence our efforts for bettering the moral condition of Paupers? Is this the tone by which persuasion, or conciliation, or conviction is to be wrought ? Is it not rather more like the commencement of th reign of Terror, than that of Equity, Prudence, and Good Sense ? The question relating to our Poor House is an inportant one, and however easy of decision it may be to the minds of some, it presents very con siderable difficulties to, the minds of many others. But supposing it to be as free from real difficulties as the sanguine abettors of " Down with it" believe it to he— yet surely some degree of respect is due to the opinions of those persons, who think that, as ill time past, so in time to come/ it may be a suitable Asylum for the Poor and a credit to the Town. True it is, that neither this Establishment nor any other, can long stand against the general con- viction of its being a nuisance, that may be got rid of, without giving birtll to a number of other nuisances equally offensive. But is that till- n rat conviction of the Town at this moment? I believe not. And therefore if I were an advocate for the demolition of the House, 1 should still wait the progiess of opinion, and the general agreement of the inhabitants as to the plan to be substituted,- before I ventured to pull it down. Whatever credit may be due to those persons who have undertaken to reform our local panper system, it is greatly impaired hy the manner in which they have advocated their measures and treated their opponents. As long as this bitter, sneering, jealous, and dogmatic spirit predominates in all they write ot- speak on the Subject, so long tbev may* rest assured theircause will go backward instead of forward. They are creating adversaries, not making converts. However pure arid spotless they may bold themselves, aud qualified by their own fancied exemption from faults to sit in judg- ment on others, to impeach their motives and cen- sure their conduct— however lynx- eyed they may be in the scrutiny of reputation,— and however delightful may be their present enjoyment, while indulging their ill. temper and gratifying their spleen by insolent taunts, and unfeeling attackson their neighbours— let them be informed, that as they are not an invisible tribunal, eyes as searching as their own are fixe/ l on their paths, and spirits too intrepid as the boldest among them are roused into action— and if they persist in their unmanly course, and dare to execute their paltry threats, however painful the warfare may he, it will not fee declined, nnd they shall most assuredly reap ~ plentiful share of tiie consequences. I am, Sir, your's, 8cc. A RATE- PAYER. March 5th, 1825. T. GOSSE, ORIGINALLY FROM LONDON, AND MINIATURE PAINTER To U. R.

P^ pME Committee appointed by the - Guardians and Parishioners having patiently and laboriously examined the Details, & c. of the United Establishment, the House of Industry, as well as the Circumstances of each Parish respec- tively, deem it their Duty to the United Parishes to publish the following Resolutions^ unanimously agreed upon this Day : I. First, that they are determined to proceed to Parliament with the Proofs they have collected of the Inefficiency of the System adopted by the United Parishes, which, instead of being one of Economy as regards the Rate- payers, has been a System of Fraud andvExtravagance ever since the Establishment opened, and instead of conducing to the Industry, Morality, and Comfort of the Poor, it has been a School of Immorality, a Place of Idleness and Misery. II. That the Assertions made by certain interest- ed Individuals, that Information has been withheld by this Committee from their Opponents, is not correct. III. That, in order to afford the Parishioners generally Information on the Subjects, ONE THOUSAND COPIES OF THE REPORT of the Sub- committee be forthwith printed for Sale, which, may be had at the Chronicle Office. : IV. That a Sub- Committee be formed in each Parish, for the two- fold Purpose of counteracting the Designs of those who endeavour to perpetuate the universally acknowledged Exits of, the present Act of Incorporation, and of collecting farther Subscriptions, to be paid into the Hands of Mr. EATON, the Treasurer, which, in Case the Bill passes, will be returned to the respective Sub- scribers.

Within the last three weeks,- short wools have risen from 30 to 40, and long wools from 50 to 60 per cent, with every prospect of a farther advance. Bristol March Fair commenced Tuesday. There was a middling shew of beasts, which sold well; good horses fetched an increased price, indeed it is almost im- possible to say what prime ones are worth, atl of any bone and action were bought up in the stables. Prices of Leather — l'he quantity of Dressing Hides was not large,- yet they far exceeded the demand, audit was very, difficult to effect sales, except at a con- siderable reduction ill price, and a large quantity remains unsold.

SHREWSBURY. B. Popular Superstitions of the Welsh. [ FROM THE RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW, NO. xxi.] Of all the popular superstitions prevalent among the Welsh, their idea of fairies is, perhaps, the most poetical ; at all events, it is the most ancient. In Wales there appear to have been two distinct species of fairies ; the one sort, of gentle manners, and well disposed toward the whole human race; the other, maliciously inclined, and full of mis- chievous sportiteness. The former is denominated ' J'yhvyt/ i leg; or, the Fair Family; the latter, Ely lion, Elves, or Goblins. The Tylwyth Teg are a mild and diminutive race, leading a life com- pletely pastoral, and befriending fond and youthful lovers, preity dairymaids, and hospitable and industrious housewives. They are the inspirers of pleasing dreams, and the assiduous enconragers of virtue and benevolcnce ; and never fail to reward child. " well men as these that ought to be regarded : men who have a real interest in the country— an interest | of a widely ' different nature from that which they may be supposed to have whose only object is to enhance the price of shares already in their hands; many of whom, I am persuaded, would cut up and divide our estates with as much " sangfroid" as they would bisect a China orange. Fortunately for the public, it has been ascertained that the desired communication can be effected by a junction of the Canal near Wolverhampton with the Ellesmere Canal at Nantwicb ; and that by a short | cut of only 41 miles. The advantages attending ; this scheme are so immeasurably above those which j a Rail- way can possibly possess, as to render any ' comparison wholly superfluous ; indeed, I feel per- suaded that the bare mention of such a plan is suffi- cient to ensure it the support of every true lover of i internal improvements, as well as of those more intimately interested in the communication. I am, Sir, your's, & c. X. L. jmptxial parliament. HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. A conversation of some length arose upon the introduction of certain bills for the incorporation of New Companies. Mr. GRENFEI. L, Mr. HOBHOUSE, Mr. HUSKISSON, Mr. BARING, and Mr. MABERLF. Y, were the speakers upon the occasion. The general feeling of the House seemed to be, th& t though the excessive rage for speculation ought to be discou- raged, the House of Commons. was not the tribunal best qualified to elect among the companies soliciting to be incorporated ; and that the House of Lords having provided sufficient securities that no Bill shall pas3 to incorporate any company without a capital, the popular branch of the Legislature need not scruple to assent to incorporations that went no further than to enable companies to sue and be sued by their representatives, without relieving ihe members from an individual responsibility. THE BUDGET. The House having resolved itself into a Commit- tee of Ways and Means, the CHANCELLOR ot THE EXCHEQUER, in a speech of great length and ad niirable clearness, brought forward his exposition of ihe financial slate of thp country. He had the peculiar satisfaction of stating that, after applying £ 5,150,000 to the reduction of debt and the return of duty paid by the silk- merchants for the stock in hand, and after a reduction of taxation last 3ear to Ihe amount of £ 1 ,' 2( 11 >, 000,— the net surplus of the income of the country over the expenditure for 1824, was no less than £ 1,437,744, which sum, even if no ( action of taxation bad taken place, was more than the increase of revenue which he had ealcu- the faithful servant, or the affectionate child. But t i | ^ the most prominent attributes and pastimes of this j |)() f) n . ' aiHj while it was an indubitable gentle race are sweetly set lorth in the | proof of Ihe rapidly improving slate of Ihe commerce stanzas— the product ion of a gentleman whose muse has frequently been rendered Subservient to the best interests of the Principality. " Can y Tylwyth Teg ; or, the Fairits* Song. prom grassy blades, and ferny shades, My happy comrades hie ; Nowaday declines, bright Hesper shines, And night invades the sky.

But first I'll creep where mortals sleep, And form the blissful dream ; ni hover near the maiden dear, That keeps this hearth so clean : VII shew her when that best of men, So rich in manly charms, Her Einion true, in best of blue, Shall bless her longing arms.— Your little sheaves, or primrose leaves, Your acorns, berries— spread ; Let kernels sweet increase the treat, And flowers their fragrance shed ; And when ' tis o'er, we'll crowd the floor, In jocund pairs advance : No voice be mute, and each shrill flute Shall cheer the. mazy dance. When morning breaks, and man awakes From sleep's restoring hours, The flocks, the field, his house we yield, To his more active powers.

SIR, While new Rail Roads are daily projected in every part of the kingdom, and the subscription lists'to the amount of millions are eagerly filled by the capitalists of the metropolis, it is not extraor- ^ „ dinary that the spirit of speculation which appears 1 t(',' our West India interest to be 44 turning the world upside down should 1 ... have come hither also." That a more direct communication is wanted between Liverpool and Birmingham is a conceded point; not so the manner in which that, is to be effected. The popular voice, or more properly clamour, appears to be iu favour of a Rail- way ; but whether the general raye which at present exists, or rather did. exist ( being now evidently upon the wane), for this mode of conveyance, may not in some cases outrun the real quantum of benefit expected to be derived from it ( in preference), and to a certain extent preclude the probability of the system being examined solely upon its intrinsic merits, seems to me not unworthy consideration. From whom, let me ask, did the Rail- road system emanate? from the overstocked capitalists of the metropolis, and others, wilh whom a speculative embarkation of some kind was necessary. Was it not natural that men thus circumstanced would gladly embrace any scheme ( consistent with security, of course) for engaging their superfluous capital, without scan ning too narrowly its merits or defects? or wen. men to be blamed for allowing the expectation of extravagantly advantageous speculations ( for such the Rail- road system was said to afford) to rise paramount to other feelings, and prevent their bestowing that degree of attention upon the subject which, under other circumstances, they would not have been justified in withholding? If it be said that the same argument might apply to any project ed improvement, or that, a new line of canal would afford the same opportunities for investment ; I answer, that the one possessed a very eminent qiiali cation in which the other was deficient, aud which the Rail- road projectors were well aware of: I mean 44 Novelty," than which there are few attrac tions more likely to " take" with the 44 many. Thev well knew that upon any subject where the test of experience could be brought to confute their sophistries, it were useless to venture ; and there- fore they hit upon one in which a little latitude of expression, a varnishing of the picture ( as it were) would he allowable, at least more likely to 41 hold" and resources , of the country, afforded als unanswerable argument in favour of the line of policy which the Government bad adopted in regard to our finances. The Right Hon. Gentleman then went into a review of the probable income of ihe country for the year 1826, which, from a recapi- tulation of its various branches, he estimated at £ 56,195,000; the total expenditure, by a similar detail under the various heads of service* he esti- mated at £ 55,330,824; leaving a surplus of income over expenditure for the year 1826 of £ 8^ 4,676 By a like review, be estimated the income of the country for 1827 at £ 56, f60,000, and ibe expenditure at £ 55,105,6/ 6, leaving a snrp'ns of income over expenditure of £ 1,754,324 for thai year. The surplus for The year 1825 would he ahout £ 443,528, and ihe total surplusage of 1825,1826, and 1827, he estimated at about 4 millions, which sum it would be for Ihe House 10 apply in the most beneficial way lhat their wisdom might deem to be expedient for the service of the country. He should propose lo the House to continue in that wise course of remov- ing restrictive duties, by which our Foreign com- merce and home trade would be extended, and by hicli smuggling would be lessened. He knew well lhat, if he wished to gain popularity, he should, apply himself to Ihe extensive reduction of the Assessed Taxes; but, much as he valued popular esteem, he would never from any such motive aban- don a principle which he thought most conducive to the public good. There was one item which it was his intention to specify that did not come under the lead of reduced taxation, he meant the drawback or allowance by which the exporter of sugar received 3s. per cwt. 011 the sugar he exported. It was his intention to propose that this allowance shouUl <* ease after July, 1826: be bad, however,. he hoped, " y the other arrangements, which he should mention horllv, amply compensated Ibe West India interest for this alteration. Another point he should notice, which, though not a reduction of domestic taxation, would prove a relief lo many of our manufacturers, who were now unable to execute many foreign orders on account of the great advance that had taken place in iron : he should propose, therefore, to reduce the duty on foreign iron from £ 3 per ton to £ 1.10s. per ton. This measure would not be incom- patible with the interests of our own iron- proprie- torsindeed, he believed they would not disapprove of it. To come, however, to the reduction of duties which pressed upon our Commercial and Trading Interests. The duty on hemp imported, now Id per pound, was a heavy tax on the shipping interest; and he should propose to reduce it one- half. He should propose a reduction of one- half ou the duty 011 West India Coffee, which would be a great relief The duly on French Wines, he should propose to reduce from lls. 5£ d. per gallon to 6s.; and ihe duties 011 Portuguese, Spanish, and Rhenish Wines from 7s 7d. to 4s. per gallon. He should propose to reduce the duty on Spirits distilled from Malt from 10s. 6d. to 5s per gallon; and to 6s. for Spirits distilled from raw grain. The duty on Colonial Rum would be reduced from 10s. 6d. to 8s.; and be should also propose lo reduce the duty on Cider from 30s. to 10s. per hogs- head. While many of these regulations would be a great relief to our Commerce, arid entourage our trade and intercourse with Foreign Nations, most of ihem would tend greatly to the lessening of that real evil— smuggling. After carrying these pro- positions info effect, there would be an available surplus of about £ 270,000, which he should direct to ihe abrogation of some, and the reduction of other, branches of the Assessed Taxes. He should propose ihe abolition of Ihe Tax on Four- wheel Carriages drawn by Ponies ; on Occasional Waiters; on Coaehmakers' Licenses ; on Carriages sold by Auction or on Commission; on Mules employed in carrying Ore ; on Houses while they were merely in the care of persons placed there lo keep them in order; on Farm Houses occupied bv Labourers or Bailiff's, who might surrender the occupations at any time ; ou Husbandry Servants occasionally employed as Grooms ; 011 the horses sometimes let to hire by small farmers who likewise occupied them in hus- bandry ; and on Taxed Carts. He should also pro- pose lo allow an additional window to be free of duty where there was a Cheese Room and Dairy ami he should further propose that persons quitting their houses after the commencement of a year, should not be called upon to pay the whole charge for the year. The amount of lliese reductions would not be very considerable, but a removal of the charges would, notwithstanding, be a great relief to many individuals. He should now come lo the most important charges which be meant to relinquish under the head of Assessed Taxes. The number persons who pay house tax is 527,649: he should propose the repeal of this lax where the rent was under £ 10 a- year, by which 171,700 persons would than upon any threadbare subject, or in the face of] |) e relieved from this'ebarge. The number of per- stnbborn facts to the contrary. • • ^ - •• • Various have been the arguments resorted to, and numerous the embellishments bestowed upon the 44 Bantling," but neither more powerful nor multiform than were absolutely necessary to make it at all palatable, and enable it to cause the sensa- tion which it certainly has excited.

Ihe flaming accounts set forth in the prospectus of the 44 soi r y disant" Company ; especially the assertion that the Coffee— Half the duty of Is. per lb... country afforded extraordinary facilities of levels. " ' "" sons who pay Window Tax at present is973,867 ; he should propose to relieve from the payment of Win dow Tax all persons whose rent is under £ 10, and all whose houses contain not more than seven windows — by which 144,697 persons would be exonerated from this tax.— The following isa recapitulation ofthe DUTIES PROPOSED TO BE REPEALED, AND ESTI- MATED ANNUAL LOSS. Hemp— Reduce to id. per lb. ( half) ...£ 100.000 & e. That 44 statement" cannot be better answered than by the 44 fact" that out of the whole line ( 111 miles) there are but two miles of level work. This, I think, Mr. Editor, shows no great facility of execution, but it does show the extraordinary faci- lity with which men ( not having the fear of Telford before their eyes) can make their judgment suc- cumb to their interest. From the vigorous and decided opposition made to this 44 cutting" innovation upon one of the finest districts in the kingdom, by the land- owners along nearly the w hole of the line, it does not appear that it could have succeeded even in ease no preferable course had been adopted ; indeed, Sir, the respect- able, or 1 may rather say splendid catalogue of names that have lately graced your columns, as opposers of this measure, is an ample guarantee that nothing useless, or in any possible way injur- ious, to the community can take effect: evincing by their firmness at once their great good sense, and their very humble opinion of this ( I hesitate not to call it) impracticable scheme.

Gent, sat down amid loud and long- continued cheering. A desultory conversation followed* in which several Members complimented the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the liberality and excellence of bis luminous statement; others wished the sjstem of restrictions further relaxed-, and the Assessed Taxes still further reduced— Mr. HUSKISSON intimated that, before the termination of ihe Session, he should have some regulations to propose, which though they would not come before the House in the shape of questions of taxaiion, were equally important in their tendency to forward the general improvement in the financial and mercantile regulations. HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. Earl GROSVENOR took occasion lo explain that he had been very grossly misrepresented in rumours which had described him as having recently gained 60, 80, 400, and 500 thousands of pounds, by mining and rail- way speculations, whereas he had not for many years engaged in any speculation of any kind. * HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. A new writ w;$ s moved for, for the Borough of Bramber, in the room of Mr. Wilberfoace, who has mired from Parliament. ROMM CATHOLICS. A great number of petitions upon various subjects jvpre presented ; among others was one from an Irish schoolmaster, who complained that he had been ruined bv the proscription of the Catholic Clergy, though himself a Roman Catholic, because he bad refused to tamper with the religious prin- ciples of Protestant children committed to bis care. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT then presented the general petition of the Roman Catholics, and moved in an eloquent and singularly temperate speech, for the appointment of a Committee of the ... whole House to consider of the state of the laws affecting His Ma- jesty's Roman Catholic subjects. He said, pure justice, si. nnd policy, and national honour demanded that concession should be mode to the claims of the Roman Catholics. He did not, he said; profess himself an udyocale for any religion, still less was he an advocate for the Roman Catholic religion. Being bred in the Chinch of England, he very naturally preferred that faith to any other ; it was, in his judgment, the most perfect church; and a more enlightened, or learned,, or useful body of men, than the clergy of the church of England, did not exist But he considered the question of the Roman Catholic ciaims to be, in fact, a Protestant question ; for while Ireland remained in her present state, England could not be safe. A concession of the claims of Ihe Roman Catholics would, on the other hand, bind Ireland to Great Britain; and what increase of power could the Catholics derive from tbi^ concession ? A few respecable persons of their body would perhaps have seats in the House of Commons, a few Catholic noblemen would sii ill the House of Lords, and the King ' would have the prerogative of . appointing Catholics fo certain situ- ations. He regretted much ihe system of faction which divided Ireland ; for, he must do ihe Orange- men the justice to say, that there was not a more honourable set of men in existence than ' be Orange- men of Ireland. If " as, therefore, high time that steps should be taken to dissolve the prejudices which arrayed one class of the people against the other. The treaty of Limerick and the terms of the Union had held out to the Catholics tiie prospect of a free participation in all the privileges of the state ; they had, therefore, assented to the Union ; and their continued exclusion was, consequently, most galling to I hem. Of all the forms of Govern- ment under heaven, the most grinding and oppressive is that which is founded upon religions exclusion; it is, too, the most expensive. If the Catholic claim* were conceded, ihe Government would be able to economise to a greater amount than was equivalent to the Assessed Taxes. Alter complimenting the Catholic body on their loyalty and peaceable con- duct. and their Priesthood on their general conduct, fhe Hon. Bart, concluded by moving that the House should resolve itself into a Committee. Mr. CROKER seconded the motion in a few words, suggesting that a provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy must for in an essential part of any measures designed for ihe relief of the Roman Catholics. Mr. LESLIE observed, that there was a large por- tion of ihe Irish people who could not, eonscien tious! v, accede to the motion before the House, and he was himself one of that number. He must unequivocally express bis opinion that the efforts now made were directed to the overthrow of the Protestant Church in Ireland. A great portion of the people in Ireland had taken a new position ; and their object seemed to be to overthrow what had been the old principle of British policy— the Protest- antism of the Established Government. A reference to the discussions every day puWlished to the world would prove ibis; rind if we are to concede that every population who had the superiority of numbers had a right lo change the established government, then we must come lo the conclusion that all right resolved itself into the law of the strongest. It was a palpable truth that every effort was made to dis- parage and traduce the Protestants of Ireland, who were never spoken of but as Orangemen, and who w ere declared to have no good title or just right to their real property in that country. The number of Catholics in Ireland had been exaggerated, am! that, of the Protestants diminished : the Catholics were, by bis estimation, about 4,930,000, and the Protestants 1,980.000. He, for one, could not con- sent lo abandon the principle of attachment to Church and State, which had been established at the Revolution. Mr. Secretary CANNING said, although he did not consider the present a favourable moment for pressing the Catholic claims, he was not disposed to swerve from giving them his most cordial support. He would, under every circumstance, maintain the interests of the Protestant religion, and the Protest- ant establishment; but lie was satisfied that, iu conceding the claims of the Catholics, lie should promote the energies of the country, bv uniting all classes of persons under its allegiance, and not in the least endanger the Protestant establishment.—[ Th Right Hon. Gent did not address fhe House at much length, as he evidently laboured under the effects of indisposition.] The SOLICITOR. GENERAL said he sbonld give a decided negative to the motion ofthe Hon. Bart. He could see 110 limits at which concessions were to stop; when the Catholic laity bad gained their point, the priesthood would put in their claims: this Was evident. The Church of Ireland had been openly attacked, even in Parliament. The proposed mea- sures, if adopted, would place the Catholics upon a better footing than many respectable bodies of Pro- testants, and be would never agree to such measures. Mr. STUART WORTI. EY said, although ten years ago he had voted against a measure similar lo thai now brought forward, he would now freely admit bis conviction lhat ihe peace and tranquillity of ihe country vvould never be firmly established, nor its resources consolidated, till tlie Roman Catholics were granted further privileges. Like the Dissent- ers, the Catholics ought fo be admitted to seats in Parliament; but beyond that point he would not concede. Mr. G. BANKES was most decidedly opposed to any further concession of political power to the Roman Catholics. It was evident from the speeches of their leaders, that the Roman Catholics bad ulterior ob- jects in view, and that; they were bent upon ibe spoliation of the Established Church. Mr. PLUNKFTTsupported the motion. He solemnly assured the House, that, although the measure of concession to the Catholics was as dear to him as it could be to any other man, yet if he thought it could in any degree endanger the security of the Church of Ireland, instead of being its advocate, he should be firmly found among the ranks of its warmest opponents. He thought, however, that it was a measure calculated to support both the Throne and ihe Church, by removing Ihe discontent, and giving freedom to ihe energies and friendships, of a large body of loyal subjects. Mr. Secretary PEEL opposed the motion in a speech of great length He denied that the Catholics had any claim under the treaty of Limerick to the concessions they now sought; and he contended that, 011 ihe ground of abstract right, which had been so much pressed, neither the Catholics nor any other body could have any claim, if the Legislature should be of opinion that the interests of the Slate demanded their exclusion From power. The prudence and the policy of the measure of concession had been much urged ; but he saw nothing to convince him that it would either be prudent or politic to admit Roman Catholics into situations in which the interests of the Protestant Church would be to be discussed and determined upon ; and it was most extraordinary lhat, on the present occasion, up to the very hour of debate, not one word had been said on the subject of any securities against the encroachments of Roman Catholic power, if concession were granted. The Right Hon. Gentleman then referred to several recent publications of ihe Roman Catholics, to shew that they still held all their ancient and most revollino tenets; and he believed that after ihey should have obtained those privileges which they now seek, thev would not cease in their endeavours', but would still struggle for the pre- eminence of religion. He was willing to quiet the irritation of Ihe Catholics by- giving then/ every fair protection and every liberty • buthe was convinced that the concessions which they now sought are utterly incompatible with the welfare of the kingdomi Mr. BROUGHAM supported ihe motion, and argued at great length, and wilh much force, that noT ihe slightest danger was to be apprehended bv the Protestant Church from the admission of llie Catho- lics to Parliament; while, on the other hand, much danger was to be apprehended from the dissatisfac- tion which was engendered and perpetuated by the system of exclusion so long acted upon. Objections had been made to the time of bringing in the pro- posed measure of concession : if this was wrono-, he was satisfied to take a full share of the blame " upon himself. His belief was, lhat the course adopted was the most prudent ami politic, and rendered actually necessary, in consequence of the measure that had passed tiie House. He tholight this course necessary to preserve the peace of Ireland, and to prevent the peace of ihe country from being put in jeopardy. He would now most earnestly and so- lemnly call upon the House not to lose the last opportunity they have, or can have ( whilst the Biil against the Association is, in its present stage, before the other House) of rendering the present measure safe and expedient— of improving all the Irish people— of conciliating the Catholics— of end- ing all factions— and terminating all dissensions. This could be effected by granting the measure now before the House, and by that alone. Sir C. FORBES opposed the motion.— The Catholics had an Association at Ihe doer, and wished to compel the House to assent to their wishes. On a division, the numbers were— for the motion 247— against it 234: majority for the motion 13. The House having gone into a Committee, Mr. PEEL said, the opposers of the Bill which the Hon Bart. ( Sir F. Burdett) intended to introduce, would suffer it to be read a first time, pro forma, and would make fheir stand against it on the second reading. Sir F. BURDETT intimated that he should not move the second reading of the Bill until after the Easter recess. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. RAIL- WAYS. On the motion of General GASCOYNE, the House went into a discussion on the Manchester and Liver- pool Rail- way Bill. Sir J. NEWPORT supported the Bill, on the ground at n Rail- way would facilitate the intercourse that with Ireland, aud, by competition, keep Ihe price of conveyance in proper bounds.— Mr. DOHERTY sup- ported the motion on the same grounds. Mr.. GREEN said the Rail- way would not only be an annoyance but an injury to the land proprietors on the line: one gentleman would incur a loss of £ 18,000 by being obliged to allow this Rail- way to pass over his land* which could otherwise have been most advantageously sold for villas. — It would also inflict, a great afid undeserved injury on the canal proprietors, Whose profits w ere moderate, and whose modes of conveyance were amply sufficient for all the purposes of commerce and convenience. Mr. HUSKISSON defended ihe bill, not on account of his connection with Liverpool, but on public grounds. The commerce of Liverpool aud Man. Chester, and their Vicinities, had more than quad- rupled within a few years, and every facility ought therefore, to be given lo the providing additional modes of conveyance, as he bad no doubt there would be plenty of employment for rail- ways and canal.*. Mr, PHILLIPS said, these rail- ways would be great nuisances to the land- prOprietors, and were" nof called for by the wants of commerce, lo which the present canals were fully adeqnate. It had been said that goods might be conveyed on rail- ways by loco- motive engines at the rate of from 10 lo 12 miles an hour, while they could only be Conveyed at the rate of four miles au hour on canals; To prove this, a trial took place, and the result was, that the ioco- motive engines con hi only iruvel on the rail- ways at the rate of four miles and a half an hour on an inclination, and only three miles and three quarters on the level. He had been informed from a competent source that a greater delusion had never taken possession of people's minds than had arisen out of these rail- ways, the expenses of which were a proportion of six to four greater than Ihe expenses of canals, with which they never could enter into successful competition. Mr. MACDONALD said, the adoption of the Rail- way would prove how short- lived was the remem- brance of public benefactor*. The Duke of Bridge, waier had at one time expended his last guinea* and mortgaged his last acre, to complete the canal property now sought lo be invaded. Mr. CAI. CRAFT and Mr. BROUGHAM bore testimony to the esteem in which the memory of the Duke of Bridgewater was held ; hut ihe interests of commerce ought to be consulted by affording every facility.— Brougham expressed his hope that no member would vote on these questions from motives of per- sonal interest. Mr. HUSKISSON paid a tribute to the merits of the Duke of Bridgewater. The Bill was then read a second time and referred to a Committee. The Marquis of Tavislock and five other Members were ordered into the custody of the Serjeant al Arms, for not having attended the lale Call of the House. fSUscdlawoae SntclUgcnc^. A blacksmith iramcd Martin Jones, residing at Harrow Hill, applied at Kow. street, on Wednesday, for the assistance of Ihe officers, to prevent himself and family from beins; injured, and his premises demolished, by the young gentlemen of Harrow School, to whom he and his son had given offtnee, first, hy preventing them breaking his tiles, and secondly by informing their master, Dr. Butler, of their misconduct, who had very promptly threatened to expel any of them who repealed the outrages. This had, however, so incensed the scholars, lhat Ihey had in a body attacked the blacksmith's house and threatened lo destroy him and his family. An officer was immediately sent to Harrow, who re- turned On Thursday io Ihe office wilh Ihe in formation lhat the matter had been setlled, and that Jones hail been compensated.— Sir R. Birnie, however, expressed much dissatisfaction at this outrageous affair having so terminated. Death ofthe Hon. A . F. Ashtev Cooper, Son of the Earl of Shaftesbury, in » Pugilistic Combat with Mr. Wood, Son of Col. Wood, of Littleton, Bucks, unci Nephew to the Marquis of Londonderry.— On Ihe 271I1 ult. about Ihe hour of two o'clock, tw„ young gentlemen, Collegians of Eton, the lion. A. F. A. Cooper and Mr. Wood, were in the play- ground, when some words arose between limn,' and thev pushed each other. Who gave ihe fi. st assault, Is differently staled ; hut from words Ihey proceeded to blows, and had fought for several minutes, when llie Captain came up and separated them. It was sub- sequently determined hy the belligerents, that ther should meet on the following afternoon and terminate their differences hy a pugilistic contest, a custom prevalent among the scholars of Eton, and indeed of all other Public Schools, anil the conqueror always lenders ihe Hand of friendship to his defeated ad- versary. In this instance the majority of the scholars were present to witness the battle, and ihe combatants stripped lo I heir buff, ot four o'clock on Monday afternoon, and commenced fighting. Mr Cooper was smaller in stature than his opponent^ his age was under 15 years, and his opponent, who was half a head tallers was near 17. Mr. Wood had Ihe advantage in point of strength, but the quickness and precision of Mr. Cooper was remarkable for one so young, aud he declared lhat be would never o- ive in. In the 8th, 9lh, nntl ! 0th rounds, he became weak and exhausted, and it was then evident he was not a nuitch for Mr. Wood, and he ought to have been taken away. Some of the " hackers" had brought a quantity of brandy in bottles into Hie field, and the second of Mr. Cooper, in Ihe eleventh round, poured a considerable qnantitv down Mr C.' s throat, and he recovered his wind and strength The young men continued fighting from four till nearly six o'clock, anil w hen they were in a slate of exhaustion, Ihey were constantlv" plied between Ihe rounds with neat brandy. It is stated lhat Mr Cooper drank during the fight more than half a pint of ihe spirit. They fought about siiity rounds, and at the end of Ibe last round he fell heavily upon his head, and never spoke afterwards. He win car. lied oft' Ihe ground In his lodgings, at the house of llie Rev. Mr. Knapp, hv his brothers, who were present at the fight. I! e was put tolled; but no medical assistance was sent fur till four hours after- wards, a short time before he expired. As soon as his death was known, expresses were seal off to the Earl of Shaftesbury, and other relations of the deceased, lo inform them of the lamentable catas- trophe. Oil Tuesday morning the secretary of the Noble. Earl arrived at F. lon, anil took away the SOLTtt AMERICA.— T he Lion culler, arrived it Plymouth, lias brought official intelligence from Carthagena of the total defeat anil capture of the Royalist Spanish forces in Peru, liv the Colombian army of General Bolivar.— The Spanish Generals Canterac, La Serna, and Valdez, bad been laken prisoners. The but lie took place on the 9th of December in the plains of Guamanguilla, and the consequence must be theestablishtnent of the in- dependence of Pern.— The fortress of Callao was to be surrendered to the Colombian troops. The arrangement to relieve General the Hon. Sir Edward Paget, as Commander iu Chief in the East Indies, is finally settled. Lieutenant General Lord Combermere, Commander of our Forces iu Ireland, sails in May for India. The Licntenant- General ot Ihe Ordnance ( Sir George Murray) succeeds Lord Combermere ju Ireland; and Ihe latter's late situation, as Governor of the Royal Military College, will remain open for Sir Edward Paget. We have not heard wiio Ihe new Lieuten- ant- General of the Ordnance is lo lie, but pro- bably Lord Beresford wdl have the appointment again offered lo him. The official accounts from Hanover give the most afflicting accounts of the recent inundations in that kingdom. In one part Ihe water covered nearly 1200 square miles of country, and appeared as part of the ocean. Houses, cattle, and human beings were swept avray, and in one village of twenty four houses no less than seventy person were drowned. It is supposed lhat 30,000 persons have lost all I heir properly, ami 100,000 acres of the finest land have been laid waste aud rendered useless for years to come. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.— On the night of Miss Foote's tiist appearance at Covetil garden Theatre aflcr the trial, General Hamden P » e, of Newman- court, Oxford street, and his ladv, oc- cupied one of Ihe side boxes on the dress circle, when on taking his seat he discovered that he had been robbed of every thing of value he possessed ; every pocket hail been ransacked, and with such ingenuity, that tiiey were buttoned up as if ihey had not been touched. Amongst other property, the General was robbed of his pocket book eon tainmg banker's cheeques, memoranda, and some cards of his address, which, to the utter astonish, ment of the gallant General aud his Lady, were leturned to him on Saturday by a merchant of eminence in the City, who had been in the Theatre on the night of the robbery; and on his return home he discovered the General's pocket- book in his pocket, which had evidently been deposited there by the thieves after exploring the contents. Il is said ( hat the late Chief Bal- on Thompson was a very facetious companion over Ihe bottle^' which be much enjoyed. At one of Ihe judge's dinners during the assizes, tlirre were present among Ihe paity a certain dignitary of Ihe church* When Ihe cloth was removed, " 1 always ihir. k," said the very reverend guesl, " I always tbink, my! lord, that a certain quantity of wine does a man no harm after a good dinner 1" " Oh no, sir '. hy no means," replied Ihe Chief Baron, " il is the uncertain quantity that does all tiie mischief." A few days since Mr J,, hn Neatne, of Roshlcf; in the parish of Norton, tried the experiment of strewing turnip tops on a piece of wheal of nine acres, infected with the grub; ou examination the following morning, as many as 150 » f this destructive vermin were found op one top, and the whole quantity collected in this manner measured Ihree bushels and a half: the experiment was con- tinued, but a considerable derrease was ihe result; thus proving the beneficial effects of this simple discovery, but for which it is thi. cgbt Ihe piece of wheat in question would have been totally de. stroyed. During last year one house in Hull imported upwards of 300,000 bushels of hones. The bones are pulverised for manure, which is the best lhat can be used on indifferent soils, particularly for the growth of turnips. deceased's two brothers. About one o'clock .... Tuesday Col. Wood arrived at Eton, and evinced much sorrow at Ihe event which had laken place The Coroner, who received intelligence of Ihe death of the deceased by an express messenger, arrived at llie Christopher Inn, at Eton, at two o'clock on Tuesday, and a Jury ( which had been previously summoned) assembled to hold an inquest; when a nnniher of witnesses were examined, and at a lale hour Oil Tuesday evening the Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Mr. Wood, ihe principal, and Mr. I. eitl), the second ; upon which the Coroner issued his warrant for the apprehension of both. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.— Cambridge, Feb. • 27— Ou Friday night, about half- past eight o'clock, Mr. C. of Leicester, arrived at the Sun Hotel, in this lo. vn. When alighting from his gig, he requested his luggage to be carried into Ihe Commercial Room. The horse being taken into the stable, a boy assisted the Boots lo unload. In giving the cushions out, something fell on the foot- board, which the hoy took up, and discovered it to be a pistol; while in the act of carrying it to the Boots it went off, and, shocking to relate, the bar- maid, Mary Drane, an amiable young woman, in her ' 21st year, received Ihe contents, which entered her right hip and passed through her body. Mr. ( lakes, Mr Abbott, and their assistants, ai tended within five minutes, hut the wound was mortal. She died about half- past twelve last night. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body this morning, when a verdict of Accidental Death was recorded, with a deodand of 20s. oil the pistol. Mr. C. received an admonition from the Foreman of Ihe Jury, who, with bis brother Jurors, lamented the carelessness of Mr. C. in leaving a loaded pistol in such a manner The receipts of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1824, amount to £ 38,046. Ms. 7d. being an increase above Ihe amount of the preceding year of more than £ 2,200, exclusive of the benefaction of £ 10,000 by the lale Rev. W. Dodwell. The expenditure of 1824 exceeded that of 1823 by nearly £ 3000— It has been slated that a member of the Established Church lately presented £ 3000, to free from em- barrassment the building funds of the Wesleyan Chapels at O- tforil and Abingdon. On Tuesday week, the Commissioners in a Commission of Bankrupt, awarded against Hugh M'Kenzie, of Walsall, draper and tea dealer, held their third and final meeting at the Woolpack Inn, in Moor- street, Birmingham, when the Bankrupt not making his appearance, Ihe Commissioners continued to sil until twelve o'clock at night A few minutes after the clock had struck twelve, Ihe Bankrupt not having surrendered himself, the Commissioners proceeded into the public street, where a Proclamation was read three times by their clerk, warning Ihe said Bankrupt lhat if he did not come and surrender himself be would be guilty of felony, without benefit of clergy. CoURT - OF COMMON PLEAS.— An action was brought by a Mr. Harris against the proprietors of the Gloucester Mail, to recover compensation for injury sustained by the upsetting of the coach near Maidenhead, on tst October last, by which the plaintiff's leg- was fractured. It was proved, how- ever, for the defence, thai the coach was not over- loaded, and that the accident happened through one of Ihe leaders starting across the road at the sight of a cloth, flapping backwards and forwards, attached to a road waggon in the front. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said, causes of this kind were very difficult lo try, because it was impossible lo divest the mind of a feeling to relieve the plain- tiff The jury must for a moment forget the plain- tiff's injuries, lie considered thai coach proprietors were not insurers fur the safety of persons going by their coaches. A man insuring a house from fire was liable for the insurance, no matter how the accident of fire happened ; but not so with coach proprietors for the safety of their passengers. They were not warranted in putting horses not previously tried into ( lie coach, nor allowed to try experiments. The plaintiff had failed in his undertaking to prove that the coach was overloaded, and in his assertion that Ihe horse was shy, and had not been before used as a leader. If the defendants were guilty of negli- gence, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict; but if not guilty, anil the plaintiff received the injuries from mere accident, the verdict must be for the defendants.— The Jury consulted for fire minutes, and found a verdict for Ihe defendants, A newly. constrneted auger has lately been in- vented by Dr. Church, of Birmingham, and for which he has obtained a patent. This improved auger ( indeed we have seen several of thcui of different sizes, but the most perfect one we now refer to) is one inch and one- eighth in diameter. We first tried its effects upon a piece of dry deal four inches thick, held in the left hand without any other support, and turning the auger by the right band in the way that gimblets are usually turned, passed the auger through a four- inch deal in fifty seconds. With the assistance of a bow, il was made to penetrate through a post of 7 inches square in 21 seconds, ll cuts a perfectly smooth hole, and clears itself as it advances. lis form is such that it can be sharpened from time to lime upon an ordinary grindstone, without in the slightest degree altering its figure; indeed it will retain the same form aud properties even though ground down lo within a short distance of the stem. — Journal of Sciences. The novel and important work of cutting » tunnel under the Thames, to form two sip,. rale roadways, one for foot passengers, and the oilier ( 200 feet diameter) for carriages, was formally commenced on Wednesday, near Rotherhithe Church.— The parties have begun with thefootnav. Meetings were recently held al North and South Shields to receive the report of Capl, Brown, R. N. as lo Ihe practicability and probable cost of a suspension chaitulnidgc across IheTync, at those places; when the Captain clearly demonstrated iluit the measure was practicable, and slated the probable cost to he about £ 80,000 There is now every probability that the plan will becalried into execu- tion, ns ii is understood that one gentleman in North Shields has offered lo subsc. ibe £ 20,000 to. wards it, and another has offered £ 6000 peraunuiu for the lolls for four years. SUBSIDENCE OF THE BAL'TIC.— A singular and interesting fact has been ascertained respecting the level ofthe Baltic. It was suspected that the waters of this sea were gradually sinking; but a memoir, published in tiie Swedish Transactions for 18- 23, has put Ihe change beyond a doubt. Mr Buncrona has examined the Swedish coast wilh great care from lat 56 to 6- 2, and Mr. Halstrom has examined that of Ihe Gulph of Boihnia. The Bailie, it is to be observed, has no tides, and is therefore favourably situated for making observa- tions on its level; but wilh regard to the periods wiiliin which Ihe changes observed have taken place, it was of course necessary to rely on records or on oral testimony. Al the latitude of 55, where Ihe Baltic unites wilh Ihe German ocean through Ihe Cattegat( no change seems lo be perceptible: but from latitude 56 lo 63, the observations shew a mean fall of 1J foot in 40 years, or 4- i0rhs of an inch annually, or 3ft lOin. iu a century. In the Gulph of Bothnia the results are more uniform, and indicate a mean fall ot 4fl. 4in. in a century, or rather more than an inch annually — The Bailie is very shallow al present; and it its waters con. tinne to sink as they have done, Revel, Narva, and a hundred oilier ports, will hv and by become inland towns: and the Gu'phs of K , lhi la a id Finland, and nltimaUiy the Baltic, will be changed into dry land.
