For the Diseases of Infants, Src. ELL'S DALBY'S CAIIMINA- Jf T1VE has long been esteemed superior to every other Remedy for removing those Disorders which frequently prove fatal to Children, particu- larly when under two Years of Age, by allaying in a short Time the excruciating Pain arising from Wind, and the consequent Convulsions in the Sto- mach and Bowels. In the Cholic and similar Affec- tions of Adults, this Cordial Medicine has invariably afforded Relief alter o'tber Remedies have been taken ineffectually. The very extendedSale of this popular Medicine, for more than 50 Years, has induced Persons to imitate it. Parents and those who have the Care of Children are therefore cautioned against the spurious Preparations which are now commonly sold through- out the Country, and are directed, that to procure the Genuine, they must ask particularly for " Celt's Dalby's Carminativeand observe the Name " F.

A Medicine prepared by a Shropshire Gentleman Farmer, SUPERIOR TO ALL THE PREPARATIONS IN THE WORLD, For the Cure of the Venereal Disease, the King's Evil. Scrofula, Scurvy, Fistulas, and every Dis order arising from Impurity of the Btood. N D ER t'ne Denomination of N ERV- OUS DISORDERS, in its full Extent, are noluded several Diseases of the most dangerous Kind. The most common Symptoms are Weakness, Flatulency, Palpitations, Watchfulness, Drowsiness after Eating, Timidity, Flashes of Heat and Cold, Numbness, Rigours of different Paits, Giddiness, Pains ( especially of the Head, Back, and Loins), Hiccup, Difficulty of Respiration and Deglutition, Anxiety, Dry Cough, Ike. One Symptom is distinguished by no Name, and of which it is impossible to form any adequate Con- ception. It pervades with its baneful influence the whole Nervous System, writhing the Heart with inexpressible Anguish, and exciting the most dread- ful Suggestions of Horror and Despair! To this Demon have Thousands fallen a Sacrifice in the direful Transports of its Rage. The Cause of so deplorable a State of Health will generally be found in passions too early or immode- rately indulged; the Mind stretched into Weakness, aud the Body into Debility, by Anxiety and intense Exertion ; tbe Habits of a fashionable Life, so injur- ious to Health ; the Use of strong Liquors, aud Prac tices inconsistent with Moderation and healthful Excitement. Hence a Train of Languor, Irresolu- tion, Nausea, Indigestion, Weakness, and Despond- ency, which nothing so effectually relieves Recourse to DOCTOR SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OF GI LEAD, a Remedy happily suited to restore the weakened Powers, and shed renewed Hope on the Mind. Its extensive Sale and long- established Reputation are the best Proofs of its extraordinary Value. Sold by W. and J.

On the motion of the same Noble Lord, the Custom Laws Consolidation biil was read a second time. . [ The only variation from what Mr, Huskis* son described as the objects of thejpeastire in the Commons, was the. retention of a power to increase to the amount of five per cent, the importation duties ou the goods of any country, the Government of w hich, not content with refusing us a reciprocity of advantages, should display a gross partiality against our trade.]— The Marquis of LANSDOWN expressed his approbation of the reguJj& tJdnfc. He regarded the measure before thei^ j Lordships as forming a very great and salutary revolution in the trade of the country. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. After a long conversation, a division took place on the motion for bringing up the report upon the Combination Laws, which wiis decided in the affirmative by 5b to 2. The bill abolishing the use of Spring- GuuS was lost by a division of 32 to 31, on the motion that 44 it do pass."— The promoters of the measure complained of its being so altered and mutilated as tb render it any thing but effective. HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. Mr. LITTLETON postponed to next Session the further consideration of the question upon the man- agement of Private Bills, lie stated that he made this postponement in compliance with the wishes of many Hon. Members. The billagainst Combinations was read a third time and passed, aifier the insertion of three clauses — the first, that prosecutions under the bill must commence within six months after the commission of the ofi'encS $ the second to limit the term of imprisonment of refractory fitnesses to three mouths ; and the third gives the individual con- victed a right of appral to the Quarter Sessions, but upon conviction there the offender is to pay the costs. Considerable discussion again took place upon the merits of the bill, and Mr HUME at length admitted that the above clauses had removed many of his objections to the measure. Before the Members adjourned $ certain sums w£ re voted to the officers of the House and others ; and an address, praying his Majesty to confer some dignity in the Church upon tile Rev. Thomas Manners Sutton, Chaplain of the House, was unanimously agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY.

The Combination Laws Bill was read a third time.— The Earl of LIVERPOOL said a fVw words in explanation of the late period of the Sessiou in which this Bill was introduced to their Lordships, and observed, that, from the necessities which existed, it was considered impossible to let the Session pass without bringing in the present bill. 5t was indispensable to prevent not only combina- tions by workmen against their masters, but com- binations of workmen against workmen. Many au honest workman was deterred by fear from attend- ing to his work, and it was of importance to provide against such combinations. The Noble Lord de- fended the Bill as a mild and wholesome measure.

Verdict of Coroner's Jury— Apoplexy. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,— Scarcely a year elapses without some im- provements being made in our venerable Abb « y Church. These have fiom time to time been noticed " in your extensively circulated Journal, and well• merited compliments have been paid to the Rev. W. G. Rowland, by whose active supei iutendance, and in uo small degree at whose expense, those im- provements have been effected, which now render it, in the eyes of the antiquary and the traveller, one of the most interesting ecclesiastical structures in the county. Within the last few months other im- provements have been gradually proceeding : that part of the floor immediately iu front of the commu- nion table, and extending in breadth from the north to the south aisle, which was sd much felevated above the other parti, has been lowered to correspond with the rest,* leaving only the part within the communion rails at alt raised, and that only so much so as to give it an appropriate appearance ; whilst the sepulchral stones with which it was covered have been carefully replaced in their situations. The whole of the brick- work that appeared like patch . work in the floor of the Church has been removed from the nave and south aisles, and the vacancies supplied with flag- stones. The north aisie will in due time undergo the same alteration ; and whenever the funds requisite, for the undertak- ing will suffice, it is intended to have a new and elegant altar piece. Previous, however, to this being done, it will be requisite, for the sake of uniformity, to lower the large pew on the right hand to a corresponding height with the others, to which, of course, the proprietor can have no objec- tion, as it will not injure the seat, and will certainly improve the appearance. At the east end of the south aisle, which end has also been lowered about nine inches to make it. level, is placed the handsome alabaster altar tomb erected to the memory of William Jones, Esq. Alderman of Shrewsbury, and Eleanor his wife, f which origin- ally graced the east end of the north aisle of St. Alkinond's church, but from w hich it was removed into the church- yard on the unnecessary demolition of the old church. There the effects of the atmo- sphere upon the material with which it was com- posed were soon apparent, and, notwithstanding the reparation it received by order and at the expense of the late Sir Thomas Jones, Bart. M. P. for Shrewsbury, it was fast verging to ruin, which has only been prevented by its being removed to its preseut excellent situation in the Abbey ; the expense of which, as well as of its complete and elegant reparation, has been munificently defrayed by the present worthy representative of the family , Sir Tyrwhitt Jones, Bart, of Stanley Hall. Here it has, and wiil, 1 doubt not, continue to receive that care which will long* preserve it as a memorial of departed worth, reflecting credit alike on the party at whose expense it has been removed and repaired, aud upon him who superintended the operations. In the same aisle, and at a few feel distance, is placed the altar tomb originally erected iu Wellington Church to the memory of William Charlton, Esq of Apley Castle, and Anne hi; wife, t but from which place, like that above- men tioried, it Was ii turned out of doors" on the demo- lition of the church in 1788, and being made of the same frail materials, had fallen, aud the ruins were fast mouldering to decay. Fortunately, before that had completely taken place, permission was grained to remove it to its present situation, where it has received every reparation it is capable of, and has thus been reudered a very interesting memorial, though not by any means equal to what it would have been had' it not for so many years been left a prey to the elements. A full description of both these monuments may be seen in Part 8 of the valuable History of Shrewsbury now publishing by the Venerable Archdeacon Owen and the Rev. j. B. Blakeway. To the same aisle lias also been removed, from the Priory Church of Wombridge, against the westeru wall of which it had for years stood a hu for boys to throw at, the cumbent effigies of a cross- legged knight, in mail armour with sureoat over it, sword iu scabbard by his side, gauntlets on his hands ( t# e left holding the scabbard, and the right on the hiit, as if about to draw it), spurs on'his heels, his head resting ou a cushion, ana his feet ou a lion. This ancient sepulchral effigy, with the exception of the face, was, considering the situation whence it was brought, in good preservation. It is now fixed upon a basement, has been repaired, and is placed alongside the centre of the south wall. There is, 1 believe, ho record existing which points out distinctly what person ii represents ; but it is conjectured, from the tradition of the neighbour- hood of Wombridge, where it had long borne the name of " Old Dangervilleaud previously of < v Dunsfylde," that it is the effigy of Sir Walter de Dunstauville, who died 25 Henry 111. He was a great beuefactor to Wombridge Priory, to which, amongst other property, he gave. Lee Priors ; and it is perhaps confirmatory of the above conjectun that, in the deed by which that property is conveyed to the Priory, and which is wituessed by Peter son of Thoret, Philip and Bartholomew his sons, and others, he desired that he should be buried there, if he died in England. Near the door in the north aisle, corresponding with the font in the south aisle, is placed the large basin or font which for many years lay in the Abbey garden. Tiie pillar on which it is fixed formed the upper part of the cross which anciently stood in the eemetry of St. Giles, where, as the Historians of Shrewsbury say, " it had immemorially been fixed 44 in the diich- bank, and all traces of its origin 44 were quite lost, except that an old lady, born 44 1724, remembered in her youih to have seen 44 persons, kneeling before it in the act of prayer ; 44 a lemafkable instance of the transmission of a 44 tradition through very nearly three centuries : 44 from its being loosed by the frost of a severe 44 winter about thirty years ago, it fell down, and 44 its religious distinction became immediately ap 44 parent from the sculpture with which it was 44 adorned."^ At a few feet distance, under pointed arched recess in the north wall, is placed the head ( being the only existing remains) of the effigy of St. Peter, which formerly occupied the niche ou the north side of the great west window, from whence it was blown down during a tempestuous night in 1780. Other improvements as to the situations of the ancient sepulchral effigies that have been re- moved togthe Abbey have also been made, which will at once be apparent to any one again visiting this sacred edifice. During the week before last, in obedience to the orders of the Venerable Arch- deacon Owen, whose attention to the state of the different churches within his Archdeaconry cannot be too highly praised, the ivy- which so luxuriant) y, but at the same time so injuriously, covered that part of the east end of the church which extends from the centre window to the south wall, was removed, and its removal has not only improved the general appearance of the east end of the Abbey, but has also, in addition to the slight remains of the transept noticed in the History of Shrewsbury, displayed another portion,|| which exhibits ou the basement a broad pointed, aud, with the exception of the small window in the south aisle, blocked- np arch, which originally led into that aisle. This arch externally appears very con- siderably larger than the internal one, and extends in breadth from the remains of the pillar, originally the south- western one of those which supported the central tower, to a flat square pier, formerly inside the south transept. Above the arch is the lower portion of a large mullioned window, divided into three compartments, with cinquefoil heads. Whilst progressive improvements have thus been made at the Abbey, the parishioners of St. Alkmund have not been unmindful of the dilapidated state of some portions of their beautiful tower and spire. Aware of the good effects and improved appearance produced in St. Mary's church last year,•[[ they have, at the suggestion of the Archdeacon, com meneed the necessary restoration and reparation: mouldings have been placed round the windows of the tower; its rich pinnacles and open parapets have been repaired, and the same care and atten- tion is iu progress to the friable and decayed parts of the stonework, some of which ( the mouldings and all the projecting parts) is restored with new stone, and the rest with Roman cement. The rich lower windows of the spire have also not been neglected. These repairs, when completed, will add much to the beamy of the structure, and reflect credit on the parish. Before I conclude, allow me to express the satis- faction I enjoyed on witnessing, as I did a few days ago, the surprising improvements that hav been made, nt the expense of the Earl of Darling*- ton, as noticed by your correspondent S. E. last year, in Wroxeter Church. At the same time I cannot but regret that the trifling additions want- ed** to render the work complete, as pointed out bv the same writer, should not have been effected. The expense would not, I am positive, exceed ten pounds : and, from what I have heard of his Lord- ship's liberality both as a nobleman and a landlord in his own county, 1 feel convinced that, were he made acquainted with them, he would instantly order them to be done. Hoping that ere long such will be the case, and that the Parishioners will go to the expense of having his Lordship's Arms in stained glass iu the east window, I remain, your s, & c.

" The humble Address of the Inhabitants of the " Borough of Albrighton and its vicinity, in " the County of Salop. Penetrated with admiration of, and gratitude your Royal Highness, as a Defender of on Protestant Constitution, we humbly offer our sin cere aud heartfelt thanks. When, in furtherance of the rash experiment to admit Papists into power— after the history of ages previous to the gloriot. s Revolution had proved the utler impossibility of their political participation with the Protestants in the government of these realms— we beheld with regret and dismay the majority of our Representatives in Parliament., treating the Petitions of a loyal People with neglect, not to say with ridicule and contempt. When our hearts sunk within us to . witness the decision, which, as far as they were concerned, went to barter away our civil and religious liberties— the manly avowal, and the resolute determination of your llovut Highness to maintain inviolate the prin- ciples which happily placed tiie l- jouse of Brunswick on the Throne of this Kingdom, inspired us with a confidence and with a courage* which made us reckless even of the consequences which might liave attended the passing of the odious Bill in the House of Lords. For, though no less'bound by duty than inclination to observe every Constitu- tional enactment— to our Gracious Sovereign alone, professing and protecting the present Establishment in Church and State, our full and true allegiance is paramount to every other consideration. 4< ( jo oa, then, [ loyal Prince, like your venerated Sire, in the fearless discharge of your duly to God and your Country. The consciousness of having acted uprightly will yield a purer satisfaction than can spring from any human applause. Yet, deign to accept the well- earned meed of our gratitude and regard ; with the assurance, that though our subordinate Rulers, instigated by faciiow, or misled by the plausible theories of modern liberality, should attempt to subvert the present fabric of our Protestant rights— vet, no lawful Sovereign or Prince of your Royal House, adhering to' the same, hall ever want oor hands to defend and assert the cause so deartoourhearts— P^• otestautAscelldallcy. 1, The Rev.

[ FROM NIMROD'S SPORTING TOUR.] The grand feature at Melton Mowbray is the Old Club, which has been established about thirty- two years, and owes its birth to the following circum- stance : - Those distinguished sportsmen, Lords Forester and Delamere ( then Messrs, Forester and Cholmondeley), had been living for some years at Loughboiough, for the purpose of hunting with Mr. Meynell, and removed thence into Melton, where they took a house, yand were joined by the late Mr. Smythe Owen, of Condover Hall, in Shrop shire. As this house, now knowri by the name of the Old Club- house, only contains four best bed rooms, its members are restricied to that number: but the following sportsmen have, at different peri ods, composed it:— The Hon. George Germain, now Lord Sackville; Lords Alvanley and Brudenell ; the Hon. Joshua Vanneck, now Lord Hunting- field ; the Hon. Berkeley Craven; the late Sir Robert Leigh ton; the late Mr. Meyler ; Messrs. Brommell, Vansi ttart, Thomas Assheton Smith, Lindow, Lang- ston, Maxse, Maher, Moore, & Sir James Musgrave - the four last gentlemen forming the present Club. There is something highly respectable in every thing connected with the Melton Old Club. Not only is some of the best society in England to be met with in their ciicle, but the members have been remarkable for living- together on terras of the strictest harmony and friendship ; and a sort of veneration has been paid by them to the recollection of the former members, as the following anecdote will prove. Not only is the same plate now in use which was purchased when the Club was estab- lished, but even trifles are regarded with a scrupu- lous observance. A small print of the late Samuel ChifFney, on Baronet, was placed against the wall by the present Lord Sackville — then Mr. Germain -( so distinguished as a most excellent sportsman, as well as a rider over a country or over a race- course— in the latter accomplishment, perhaps scarcely excelled by any gentleman jockey)— ant although since it was first affixed, the room has undergone more than oiie papering and repairing, yet the same print, in the same frame, ana on the same nail, still hangs in the same place. " The rivets were not found that joined us first That do not reach us yet; — we were so mixed, We were one mass, we could not give or take But from the same, for he was I; J, he." What was called 44 The New Melton Club'' was established at Melton, but has been broken up some years. Several gentlemen, however, join estab- lishments in various houses in the town ; and Lord Barnard, the eldest son of the Earl of Darlington, has a large mansion ! 0 himself, on the approach to it by the Leicestershire road. Sir Harry Goodricke, Sir Vincent Cotton, and Mr. Francis Lyttelfoh Holyoake, live together in a very excellent house, about a hundred yards below the church, a little to the left of the Londdn road Each of these gentlemen had a stud of from twel to fourteen horses— as good as money could procure — Spotting Magazine.

Newtown, June 18th, 1825. The Worcestershire counlry is going to lie regularly hunted, under Ihe direction of Mr Parker, who has got thirly- eight couples of hunting hounds to begin with. If this pack do not shew spoil, it will uot proceed from either of the following causes— viz a want of zeal in Mr. Parker; or his uot riding up to hounds.— Sportini/ Magazine. The Macclesfield Hunt, after a duration of nearly seventy years, is at length broken up. The great increase of working population, and the great decrease ( from oite cause or other) of country, has rendered Biich a measure inoperative. A part of the hounds are drafted to the Stockport. At Buxton races this year, Arachnecame in first Ibe first heat for the plate of 60 sovereigns, hut her rider weighing without his bridle was a Irtfie shor of weight, ami Ihe lilly had been incautiously led away ; she was allowed to start for the second heat iubject lo Ihe objection, when she came in first again. The Iwo gentlemen to whom the case was • eferred, deemed her distanced, aud awarded the prize to Guy Faux. This decision has been suh sequently confirmed by the Stewards of ihe Jockey Club. A similar accident occurred at Doucastcr in 1809 At the lale Sir John Egerton's sale on Thursday lasl, Paulina was sold lo Major Gitfard for 160gs lilly by Rubens, lo Mr. Mytton, for 250gs.; colt hy Soothsayer, lo Mr. Thompson, for 165gs.; and Linnet to Mr. Yates, for 1150gs. THE GREAT FOOT RACE FOR 1000 SOVE REIGNS.— The above grand match, which has excited unprecedented interest in the sporting circles, was run on Tuesday, over Knavesniirej York. The match was between Metcalfe and Halton, one mile out, of which Metcalfe gave Halton 20 yards. Metcalfe has run seven times within the last two years, and has acquired the putation of being the swiftest runner in the king dom; but at four or ten miles Halton is unequalled The betting on this very interesting match has been very heavy, and has reached 5 and 6 to 4 on Met caife. At an early hour the course was ver numerously attended hy all classes, and the greatest anxiety prevailed till the start look place, whit- was on the firing of a signal gun, at half- past one They went off at aniafcing speed, and by the time they had run 400 yards, Metcalfe recovered the ground given, and passed his opponent, winning his match by upwards1 of forty yards, very easy 7 to 4 and 2 io 1 on the winner, who ran the ground in 4 minutes and 30 seconds; thus estab I tailing himself Champion of the Pedestrians. * In performing the necessary task, it was discovered that the massive Norman Pillars which support the fabric had uot originally been erected on bases of the. same height. + lie died July 25, 1612; she Feb. 26, 1623.

BRUTALSTY.—- On Saturday, a person of the name of Evan Evans, residing in Barker- Street, compromised a charge made against him for breaking the fore legs of a dumb animal belong- ing to a gentleman of* this town, by paying one pound, which was distributed in bread to the poor of St. Chad's parish, on Sunday last. It is expected that the Chester Corporation Causes will be tried at the ensuing Assizes for this | couuty. On Thursday afternoon last, a meeting of the Parishioners of the extensive parish of St. Chad in this town, took place in the Vestry of the Churchy for the purpose of fixing a rate for the relief of the poor, and on other business. The meeting was very thinly attended.— It was stated that there had been a communication received from the Directors of the House of Industry, who had, last year, called for 17 averages for the relief of the poor: iu conse- quence, however, of £ 1000 that had been borrowed being to be paid off, & c. 22 averages would be necessary for the current year. The additional amount which would thus fall upon the parish of St. Chad would be about £ 650, and to meet this, would be necessary to raise the Poor Rate from 4s to 5s. in the pound : the rate was, accordingly fixed at 5s.— The attention of the meeting was afterwards called to the complaint of several re spectable persons as to certain houses of ill fame situated in the parish ; and as it appeared that communication bad also been made from the anth ritiesjjf the town to the parish officers relative these pests, the res can be no doubt proper steps will be taken to abate the nuisances complained of.— It was then moved, and carried by a majority, that £ 10 should be allowed for the customary dinner on making out the books of as.- essment.— This termi nated the business of the meeting.— We observed that the Parish Officers have very properly placed a pair of scales, with weights, & c. in the Vestry, iu order to ascertain the weight of the loaves of bread given to the poor from the numerous charitable beuefactions bequeathed for that purpose : we are sorry, however, that any circumstances should have giveu occa » ion to such a measure. n that long established and improving Office Ttyff ^^ JONES, truly thankful for the In s ur a nee against Fire, called the SALOP!

[ FROM THE SPORTING MAGAjSlNE.] The Tivy- side Hunt is about to be carried next season iu higher style than any former years. The subscriptions have lieeu raised to double what they were before, in order to enable the gentlemen to give more splendid balls and entertainments, and to mount their huntsman and whippers- in with each an additional horse— so that they will now have a fresh horse every hunting day— Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday— and a rest horse between them. A neighbouring gentleman, who keeps a very highly- appointed pack of fox- hounds, offered the hunt a cane blanche to draw on him for what- ever sum they pleased towards its encouragement; but the geutlemeu most handsomely declined any further sum than the usual subscription, which banker at Newcastle has orders always to pay in advance Captain J. Lewis, of Llysnewvdd ( that warrior, like Chevalier Bayard, suns peur et. sans repioche), will, it is expected, commence the season with a « tud of very high bred horses. He has men con. stantly on ihe look- out at Tattersall's, aud corre. spondents at the different hilllts, to purchase for him the highest bred cattle that can be procured. His neighbour, Capt. J. R. Loyd, the name of whose residence may well be called Cinciiiualus Lodge, has made very extensive purchases. It said of this gentleman, that one time in action hi was attacked by one of the French carabiniers, wliu came riding furiously at him, erving out, " Tu foulre coqiiin, point de quartieri" The nohh Captain disarmed his adversary, and mildly said, " Voila, mon enfant, tu es inou prisonnier ;. donnez moi ton sabre." The carabinier replied ; " Brave guerrier, voila les aruies que volts avezsi glorieuse. iiieut gagnfs ; vous meritez la Croix!" and with that took off' the Cross of the Legion of Honour which he wore, and presented him with it— and the sabre aud cross are now to be seen al his mansion, a niouumenl of his gallantry and presence of mind. The Hunt has experienced a considerable loss by the secession from it of John Davis, Esq. of Peny- bailey, aud his joining Major Parry's harriers ; tiie society of- such a well- bred man and such an accom- plished gentleman would be an acquisition any where. Major Parry's kennel is at a village called Penrhiwpaal. The landlord of the inn nt that place is noted for brewing belter Welsh ale than any one in the Principality— in proof of it, gentle- men far and near order dinners at his house in order to quaff his superexcelleut cwrw, and his finely- seasoned old port. Thomas Lloyd, Esq. of Coedmore, our most admirable steward last year, it is to be hoped, will have a very handsome turn out. That gentleman is a great connoisseur iu carriages, and has had more built for his use — from a barouche to a dog- cart— than any private gentleman known ; aud many in the small way are indebted to his liberality for a ride upon springs, who would otherwise be obliged to bump upon a saddle. Although Pryse Pryse, Esq. M. P. had a fall from his horse, as mentioned in your Number for February, it did not proceed from any mismanage- ment, but from his horse falling under him. Who- ever has seen Mr. Pryseafter the Duke of Beaufort's and Mr. Simmons' houiids, can never accuse him of bad riding— and when in the White Horse Cavalry, under the command of Lord Bruce, he was the best rider in the troop. There are many other young sportsmen of the patrician order, but we will uot particularize more, excepting a gentleman of the name of Church. He happened lo he one side of Tivy, and the hounds on the other, and reynard before them in great dis- tress. The river ou that spot, near Kilgerran, is extremely rapid, and as wide as the Thames at Westminster Bridge. This gallant sportsman, sooner than lose the first honours of that glorious day, dashed into the water, and finished the toils of a memorable day with a grand aud hill- resounding whoo whoop. A race course, it is said, will be formed on Cardigan Common, a piece of ground very little inferior to the Curragh- in Ireland, as soon as sub- scriptions cati be procured ; and, when once estab- lished, there is no doubt of their being well attended. The Royal Cardigan Militia completed their period of training and exercise on Monday se'nnight, at Ahervstwilh, and received Ihe public thanks of their Commanding Officer, Col. Powell, M. P. for their good conduct. A meeting of the Clergy of Ihe Deanery of Melenith, took place at Llaogunllo, Radnorshire, on Hit 21sl nit.; at which the Rev. VV. I{. Rees, Rector of Cascoh, presided ; when an appropriate Address was unanimously voled to their lale revered Diocesan,, now Bishop of Salisbury. Mr. Telford, in a Report lo the Postmaster General, has strongly recommended a new line of road from Briton- ferry lo Swansea, and thence to Llanclly, Pembry, Si. Clear's, & c, into Pembroke- shire.

The statement, copied from tbe Worcester pa. pers, thai Mr. Huskisson had for Ihe present given up his contemplated regulations respecting the admission of French gloves and leather, appears to be incorrect, it being in the duties 011 tanneil leather only that the reduction is 1101 lo take place till next year MORF. HORSEWHIPPING!—" Two or A TRADE !"— Mr. Judije, the Editor of the Chelten- ham Journal has received another horse- whipping. The incensed person was Mr. S. Y. Griffith, Printer of Ihe Cheltenham Chronicle, and the matter of provocation was Mr. Judge's animadversion, in his last Paper, on a lelter written by S. Y. Griffith, and which appeared in The Courier last week. The purport of the letter in question was to rectify a mistake which The Courier had made when peaking of the impending trial of " Judge v. Berkeley and others" The scene of action was Ihe Theatre, where Mr. ami Mrs. Judge were come to see Macready in Virginias. Just as they had seated themselves comfortably, Mr. J. was called out, al Ihe close of the second act, at the instigation of Mr. Griffith, who, being provided With two horse- whips, was waiting outside the box- door. Mr. Judge no sooner appeared, than Mr. Griffith demanded an explanation; and Mr. Halpin, who accompanied Mr. Griffith, produced two horse- whips, offering one lo each party; hot 011 Mr. udge's declining Ihe favour, Mr. Griffith com- menced his application of one of tbe whips to the shoulders and posteriors of Mr. Judge, which ihe persecuted Editor bore with Christian- like forti- tude. Owing to some differences between the stocking- weavers of Tewkesbury and their employers, the former have entirely ceased from work, and carried home their frames to their respective owners.

OI, N BAILEY.- Saturday, EUa* Jos. B. Archer was indicted for Mealing various articles of bed- linen, & c. from his ready furnished lodgings. The case was fully made out against the prisoner. The prisoner's' mother- in law appeared to give him a character. She stated that nine years ago the prisoner married her daughter, at which lime he possessed nearly £ 100,000, kept his carriage, and suitable establishment. Owing to the lale distresses in Spain, and the incursions of Ihe French troops, he had been reduced to penury ; she had also, in consequence, been reduced lo the greatest distress.

I). 3 vols, with numerous JRngravings, price 21.?. Music is Ihe universal passion. It pervades the palace and the Cottage. It is the charm of life in every condition of the human race, from the most polished people to the most barbarous tribes. It is, consequently, a subject which creates curiosity, while it is kept alive by feelings coeval with our nature. Three Volumes of Anecdotes of this delightful science and its professors—-' of such anecdotes as constitute the chit- chat of tbe musical saloons of the metropolis— and such aS interest the most enlightened professors, may, therefore, be consider- ed a delicious treat to all who are fond of the subject. We have had voluminous Histories of Music, formal works of Biography, and many elaborate treatises :' but we wanted the flowers and gay passages of all these, and the pic- nic literature of a science which addresses fancy and feeling, rather than judgment and erudition. Wo man living is so abundantly qualified for such a duty as Dr. Busby. He enjoys an estab. lished reputation as a composer, aiid for above half a century has been one of the best known professors in London. He was a pupil of Arue and Battishall, and moreover has long been known as a man of letters as wvell as a musician. From such an editor, more was to be expected than could be found in books ; and hence full one- third of the present work consists of the Doctor's original reminiscences of tbe ttiusical world, from the acces- sion of George the Third to the present time; and rare and inteiesting these recollections are. The work seems to be particularly calculated to diffuse a knowledge of the History of Music among the fair sex, and to enable them to combine intelli- gence on their favourite pursuit with the perfection in practice in which all well- educated women now so much excel. To those w ho are music mad, and these are not a few, the bare announcement of the plan of these volumes will be a sufficient recom- mendation, and to these in particular, the highly- curious engravings will afford a high gratification. Past $ present State ofthe Country. We extract the following statistical details from an able article, under the above title, in the Quarterly Review for June:— Daring the last four or five years this country has been wholly subsisted on corn of home growth ; and for ibe last seventy years, though some crops have been very deficient, the whole supply from foreign aid has been very insignificant. From 1754 to tin close of 1S24, the whole of the foreign wheal im ported, after dedncfing what has been exported, has amounted < o 15,195,004 quarters, Or 217,071 quarters and a fraction per year. As, the average of tlie population, of Great Britain during the period in question was upwards of 10,000,000, having gradually risen from eight to fifteen millions, the w hole quantity furnished from extrinsic sources, allowing one qucir- ter a near to each individual, would hot be HI than thirteen days supply in each year. If ihe importation^ of ihe five years, 1800, 1801, 1810, 1817, and IB 18, which followed harvests of most extraor- dinary deficiency, be left out of the calculation, it will appear that on the average of the other 65 years we have not received more than between eight at nine days supply iu each year.

The whole shift expended has been £ 13,205,117, and the present dividends are £ 782,257, or about 5~ per cent, on the capital We have not, however, drawn the attention of readers to this source of public wealth so much with a view of representing tbe immediate profits draw from it by the capitalists wbo invest their money i these concerns, or to shew the wealth cieated by the labour iii tbe operation of constructing the canal to notice that wealth created by the additional value communicated to the various substances, that li the districts through which they pass.

The quantity of Copper raised in Cornwall ( the returns from Anglesen are not given) appears to have nearly doubled within the last 25 years, but il does not as yet suffice for our consumption, to supply which large quantities are imported. The average annual importation- of Flax in 1788, 1789, and 1790, was 219,610 cwts.; iu 1804, 1805, and 1806, 414,246 cwts.; aud 1821, 1822, and 1823, 601,887 cwts.

Tbe use of butcher's meat, aeon, salt pork, butter, and cheese, has descended ower in the ranks of society than formerly ; and tea nd sugar have been generally diffused among them. The dwellings and clothing ofthe poor have, been no ss improved than their food.

Nofwithstanding the intrinsic excellence of our • orious Constitution, and the boasted superiority four code of jurisprudence, innumerable absurd ies and anomalies have discredited our statute* book for centuries; and rendered our laws a com- toiiud of intricacy, incongruity, and ridiculous nibbling. Reason, as given naturally to man, is not mystified— but clear, transpicuous as tbe un- ouded air, or the untroubled stream. Law may be law while it remains involved in doubts and ror- r- but it never can claim the name of Justice, or of Equity, till we enjoy it as we may enjoy the npollntcd and straight forward flow of reason, ' o the Minister who could even contemplate the ' moval of such excrescences by an interference hich national jealousy might construe into an uwarrantable invasion of public justice, the thanks of all enlightened and liberal men would be due:— what then does the Minister deserve, who not only ontemplates the correction of these abuses, but arries his purpose into execution with firmness ut with moderation— deliberately, constitutionally, nd effectually, in the face of tbe Legislature ? The enthusiastic approbation of his contemporaries : Ihe praise and veneration of the latest posterity of his countrymen. To Mr. Peel this great and arduous ndertaking seems to have been reserved. From is first entrance upon public life, be has been dis- inguished by a stronger promise of practical utility than ever marked the dawn of any political exist- ence— save one. He did not content himself with the mere display of official importance, but entered with becoming anxiety into the minutiae of his duties. Not content with the ineie theory of his tat ion, he made himself practically master of its arioos details— and while others were content with standing forth in the eyes of Ihe people as splendid orators, convincing logicians, and overpowering wits, Mr. Peel was eagerly employed in adding to the power of his eloquence the still more valuable qualities of solid information, and an accurate knowledge of every subject by which his talents might be occupied In the present Session of Parliament he has done more to free our judicial code from perplexities, and to give us a pure and rational system of jurisprudence, than any Lawyer hat ever filled a seat in the House of Commons, Mr. Peel well knows that simplicity should be the first grace and ornament of the administration of public justice— and that the mere gain of indivi duals should never he put in competition with the common and general benefit of the people at large: he has therefore done wisely in endeavouring to simplify the process and practice of tbe law, so as to render if available and valuable alike to the rich and the poor—- anil the simplification of the Jury- Laws is worthy of any Legislator. He now strives o save Ihe honest creditor from the injurious pro- • rastination of his claim, and the unfortunate debtor from the delusion of selfish and interested men, who disgrace the honourable profession of the law, by practising on the weakness of their clients, who are in but too many cases reduced to ruin and to beggary by the costs of fraudulent and ultimately fruitless writs of error— fraudulent whenever they are false, and fruitless, because thev are brought only for the purpose of delay, The main object— the evasion of the debt, is never secured by them — the creditor is harassed, and his just claim iniqui tously withheld for a time, whilst the debtor ultimately compelled to come from behind his dis- graceful ambush, and requite the injured man who trusted him— and he is saddled, beside, with the enormous expenses— often paying in this way, at fhe rate, as the knowing ones say, of " sixty shillings in the pound."— If Mr. Peel never attempted the removal of any other evil than this, he would merit the warm encomium of every equi table man— and he would obtain it. But he has conferred great dr benefits upon his country, and we anticipate for him a ministerial career of un- bounded popularity.— Long may he pursue his statesmanlike and patriotic exertions, and be blessed in the assurance of working out national good, ami seeing his country " prospering and to prosper !" even fo tbe commission of murder, should murder be thought necessary to advance tbe interests of tbe body in which they were incorporated. He also cited some cases in which this dreadful system had been put into operation. Mr. HTOME defended the workmen, and imputed the chief part of tbe blame of the late disorders amongst, them to their employers. He declared that he would oppose the bill if not greatly modified. A conversation of some length followed upon the Clause being read for rendering workmen liable to punishment, who by threats, intimidation, moles- tation, or insult, prevented men not associated with them, from working for the proscribed masters, in which the ATTORNEY GENERAL, Mr. J. P. GRANT, Mr. lltjiME, & r. participated, with respect to the word " insult." The words " molestation and ob- struction" were substituted by the Attorney- General, but Mr. Hume objected to the clause even so amend- ed. The clause was carried by a majority of 90 to 18 Sumo other divisions followed upon various de- tails of tbe bill, but in every case the hon. member for Aberdeen, who appeared as the representative of the confederate workmen, was defeated. MR. KFNR1CK. Mr. DENMAN proceeded to fix Wednesday as the day for going into a new charge against Mr. Kenrick, charging him with oppressing one John Franks. Mr. PEEL objected to this course of accumulating charges upon charges, without prosecuting any to an pfiectnal issue, as too obviously directed . to bear down the individual against whom they were brought. After a long discussion, Mr. Denman's sugges- tion was adopted, with an understanding that Mr. Kenrick should be at liberty to postpone the affair to the next Session should his witnesses not be ready, HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second reading of the " frivolous Writs of Error Abolition bill."— Tbe LORD CHANCELLOR, without wishing to obstruct the progress of the measure, professed to entertain an opinion'that it either went too far, or did not go far enough. He apprehended that the first ill- effect of tbe bill in ils present form would be to make defend- ants, who now, for the sake of gaining time, suffer judgment by default, and sue out writs of error, pursue the same object by pleading the general issue, an equally dilatory and* much more expensive pro- cess; and, secondly, it would compel plaintiffs to follow up a' a great expense suits which they might institute solely to try the effect of intimidation.—- In order to provide against these evils and also to render the measure complete, bis lordship said that sotne provision ought to be made to compel defendants to substantiate their pleas.- r- The bill was read a second time. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. On the motion for the third reading of the Bubble Act Repeal Bill, the Earl of LIVERPOOL and ibe LORD CHANCELLOR, in repiy to some observations by the Earl of LAUDERDALE, explained that they thought it most desirable that, for the future, tbe Legislature should not interfere with Joint Stock Companies, in the way either of favour or restraint, but leave them to tbe judgment of the public and to such privileges as the responsible ministers of tbe Crown might think fit to confer upon them, by a charter adapted ill its qualification to each peculiar case. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. MR. KENRICK. A petition was presented from Mr. Kenrick de- claring that he was not prepared to go into his de- fence in tbe ease of John Franks, and praying that the investigation of that case might be postponed. Mr. PEEL supported the prayer of the petition, on the ground that the case could not be fairly heard hi the short remnant of the present Session. Mr, DENMAN declared himself quite unconvinced, bv either the arguments in the petition or those of he last speaker, but withdrew his motion.— Tbe Learned Gentleman then recalled the attention of the House to the case of Cam for, in a long speech, which he concluded by moving a vote of censure upon Mr. Kenrick. Mr. PERL opposed the motion, asserting that though a culpable, indulgence of ill temper had been proved against Mr. Kenrick, no suspicion of corrupt motives con Id attach to him, and that even the in. temperance of whieh the accused magistrate had been confessedly guilty, might be greatly palliated by the provocation whieh probably be received from Camfor, of whose forwardness and ill manner the House had had a sample at the bar. The Right Hon. Gentleman moved, in the form of an amendment, resolution, declaring thatx the Committee saw no reason for anv further prosecution of the subject Mr. TIERNEY supported the original motion. Mr! CANNING declared that a more trumpery case bad never been forced upon tbe attention of Parlia- ment. . ^ Mr. Holme S0mner supp'orted the original motion',' nd took the . somewhat unusual course of hearin, testimony against the character of ihe accused. Mr. DENNISON, with some warmth, repeated his former high tribute to Mr. Kenrick's excellent cha- racter, which, lie said, he knew how fo appreciate, though lie differed from the Learned Magistrate in his political views, and thought that in the present case he had been blameably intemperate. Sir FRANCIS BDRDETT supported the original motion. Mr. WYNN wished to know whether there had not been a Chaneeiy suit between Mr. Keurick and an hon. member who had descended to the extraor- dinary step of disparaging flint gentleman's cha- racter.—- Mr SUMNER said there had not.

The hogs can only put their noses into this water through holes in the* wall, which prevents their dirtying it, as il passes through tbe whole division of the yard. This is the only liquid given them ; and their food is ifraige or Indian corn, slightly moistened, and scattered at stated hours on the ground, which, in the yard as well as tbe place where they sleep, is perfectly dry and clean. They are attended by several Indians with every possible Care, and have a cold hath on the premises, which they are frequently obliged to use, as cleanli ness is considered essential to their acquiring that enormous load of fat from vvhich the principal, profit is derived. Their ease and comfort also seem to be studiously attended to; nnd tbe occupation of two Indian lads will cause a smile ori the countenances of my musical readers, when they are informed that they are employed, from morning till night, in settling any disputes, or little bickerings, that may arise aittorig the happy inhabitants of this commu- nity, and in singing tiiem to sleep.

COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. BERNAL presented a petition from a poor woman, now receiving parochial relief at Greenwich, who complained of the Court of Chancery as having brought her to her present condition of poverty. The petitioner stated that her husband died iu 1810, leaving her a freehold property of the value of £ 1,496, to obtain possession of which she had applied to the Court of Chancery, but with so little success that £ 1,153 was charged against her as costs; and she was committed to the Fleet- prison for one year and ten months for a contempt of Court in refusing to surrender certain documents whieh she had fact never had in her possession.— Mr. PEEL con- fessed that tbe case was one of extraordinary hard- ship, and pledged himself that it should be submitted to the Commissioners who were now enquiring into the proceedings of the Court of Chancery. COMBINATION LAWS. Mr. WALLACE moved the House to go into a Com- mittee npou the Combination Laws, and took tbe opportunity to read from the evidence delivered before the Select Committee, to which the subject had been referred, several extracts, showing the formidable extent to which the confederated labour- ers engaged themselves, by oath in BomeJinstances, OURANG OUTANG. [ FROM THE BOSTON 8TATE8MAN.] One of these singular animals, resembling the human species more than any other known, was shipped at Batavin, island of Java, on board tbe sh Octavia, arrived at this port on Thursday evening. It was of the male species, and, though alone, he went upon all fours, when any one took him by the hand, or fore feet, could walk tolerably well upright. He was covered with dark hair, but the skin is said to be quite white beneath it. During thp passage he used frequently to sit at the table and eat his meal as regularly as one of our own species. He exhi bited many traits of sensibility and feeling, as if h knew and felt what it was impossible for him to express. For some time previous to the arrival of the ship he exhibited symptoms of declining health and soon after the ship anchored, expired not a little lamented. He often, ns well as he could, complained of bis head, where undoubtedly the disease was, which eventually caused his death. He would throw bis arms ( as we must call them) around tb neck of those With whom lie was intimate, and press the hand with all the tenderness of human devotion - He exhibited many oilier traits of the human peeies. The following extract of a letter from the shipper, dated at Batavia, Eeb. 7, 1825, contains some particulars: — I have shipped on board the Octavia, Captai Blanchard, an onrangoutang ( or the real man of th wood) to your consignment and Captain B.

He is to be dissected. ROMAN CATHOLIC AGITATORS. [ From the EngtisK Chronicle] Before the rejection of the Roman Catholic Bill, the spirit of political misrepresentation was ex- ceedingly active in endeavouring to alarm this country into concession. It was rather plainly, hinted that another disappointment would exhaust the patience of the " six millions"— that they only waited the moment when the gates of Parliament should be shut against " the delegates" to rush to rebellion, and perhaps sever Ireland altogether from the British Empire. Full of this romantic fiction, Mr. O'Connell said he would not be answerable for the peace of Ireland if Sir F. Bnrdett did not present the petition ; nor did Mr. Brougham fall short of him in prophetic announcement of iolence and civil war. It is always expedient, however, to take the statements of the " delegates" ith considerable grains of allowance, and their most zealous advocates in Parliament will discover that in time. At present, there is no excitement Ireland, but what the Members of the late Association" are endeavouring to foment and keep alive. They wished to make the English public believe that nothing but desperation aud anarchy would follow the rejection of a Bill, the object of which was to make the Aristocracy strong, the Priesthood comfortable, and the people- cipher. The Bill is thrown out, the Association extinguished by law, and yet tlie people have the ingratitude to remain in a most provoking state of tranquillity, and prove their agitators as false in their predictions as the prophets of Baal! What a perverse generation they must be! How unmindful of the services intended them!— for it was, no doubt, meant for their advantage that the privileg hich they already possess should be taken away, that all political power might be concentrated in the superior classes of society. What1 an argument for rilen who live by the trade of democracy fo use! For years those patriots had been clamouring about hat they called the peoples' rights, and were pro- fuse ofthe generous rhetoric of promises. Nothing indeed could equal the sacrifices which they were prepared lo make for their countrymen; but the moment the golden vista of preferment seemed Opening fo them, they made so much haste to enter the enchanted ground without any incumbrance, that they left their public virtue behind them— scarcely a rag of the cloak of patriotism covered the nakedness Of their apostacy. They bad before radua'ted iu intemperate courses— they now quail fied. for power. It was wonderful how soon, from being fhe stern opponents of Government, they became the sycophants of vilified placemen, and yielded to the influence of anticipated corruption. Disappointment has again driven them back on the ranks of the people— they endeavour to redeem by new intemperance the popularity which their Weakness endangered; they hoped to atone, by enewed violence of language, for fhe obsequious acts of a cun& ing, but unsuccessful ambition. The present mistake will be as signal as their late policy was unprincipled and shallow. To insure a return of the people's confidence, their first step has been to appoint a Committee of twenty one, to inquire how the law of the present Session, which sup pressed the Association, and the Rent, may be evaded. On this Committee some of the most forward incendiaries of the late Association have been appointed— what does this augur? Not the prudence, the firmness, the political wisdom that makes opposition formidable, but a repetition of rash projects, weak decisions, and contemptible designs, such as have already made the Roman Catholic agitators of Ireland more inefficient and despicable as a body than any set of men that ever set themselves up to be the regenerators of a nation To recover their lost ascendancy will be, indeed, a difficult exertion ; but to constitute a permanent body for political purposes and levy taxes for its support, will be a more hazardous experiment Even their continental advisers will find it no easy matter to put them in the tight way. The Jesuits of France and Italy were never more successful than at present in fleecing the un. fortunate< popuia. tion of those countries, by pious frauds, of the little that political exactions leave them ; but in Ireland an operation of this kind cannot now be Undertaken without an exposure to that sort of peril which the members of the Association never seemed willing to confront. In speculative martyr dom, nothing can surpass their courage; but actual danger has always had the effect of wisdom in restoring them to their senses. Remarkable Origin of an Indian Comma w der- in- Chief. [ FROM THE ORIENTAL HERALD.] In the ' East India Military Calendar,' ( xi. 92). I observed a short article oii " the late Lieutenant- General Giles Stibbert." This brought to my re- collection some particulars, with which I have long been acquainted, respecting, the rise of that dis- tinguished officer from the ground- floor of society, whence some in every stage have felicitously aspired u to govern men and guide the state." The records of ihe service in Brilish India, both civil and mili- tary, are not destitute of such examples ; yet what I arii about to relate is, perhaps, as remarkable as any which have occurred : A gentleman, who has been deceased nearly half a Century, but with whom, in hiy boyish days, I was intimately acquainted, was once travelling in Kent, when he called at. the house of a Baronet of his acquaintance. He was from home, but his chaplain, w: o was also the minister of the patisb, invited my friend to dinner. As they proceeded to the parson- age, the clergyman requested a lad, in a labourer's frock, to jump into a pond, by which they were passing, to procure some fish. This service he per- formed with iiiarked agility, while the clergyman was expressing to Mr. Whatley, for that was my friend's name, his opinion of tbe boy's fitness for something better than his present employment of working in a hop- ground at four pence per day. On this suggestion, Mr. W hired him, and subse- quently recommended him as a servant to his brother, Mr. George Whatley, a friend and corres- pondent of Dr. Franklin, and for many years treasurer of the Foundling Hospital. This gentleman had been a consul in- the Mediterranean, aud a merchant in that trade Thus be had occasionally Streights Captains among his visitors. To one of these ottr young adventurer, who bad, no doubt, already felt the ambition of an aspirant, prevailed on bis master to recommend him, and lie made two or three voyages to the Mediterranean as Captain's servant. HP then applied to bis late master, requesting his assistance to go out to India, having learned that he WHS a friend of Colonel Clive, to whom Mr. George Whatley kindly wrote a letter of recommendation. Colonel Clive told the applicant that be could only ive him a musket, but that he should have his eye upon bitn. Such appears to have been the intro- duction of Giles Stihhert to Bengal, of whose army he was, in 1784, if not earlier, Commander- in- Chief. The introduction to India was, probably, about 1756, when Clive was rapidly advancing in military reputation. It is also no improbable conjecture, that ibe battle of Piassey, fought June 23, 1757, might afford our young soldier some occasions fo distinguish himself. His advancement, however, was rapid, for, according to the Calendar, he raised, at Bank vpore, in 1761, a battalion of Native infantry," which " he commaded in 1763 at the iege of Patna, where be was wounded," arid u at the battle of Buxar ( 1764), be commanded the left w ing of the army." He had become Major " in 1765," when lie " besieged and captured Chunar, then con- sidered the strongest fortress in India," and thus he gradually rose to the command of the Bengal army." He became Major General in 1783, and, in 17C6, Lieutenant- General. " He retired," adds th Calendar, ". on the conclusion of the war, and died, after several years' residence in England, much re- spected by his acquaintances." Nor, I trust, should one of his surviving acquaint- ance look upon this page, will that respect be abated by an anecdote related in the family where 1 gained all my information as to the early history of tbis. fortunate soldier. Tbe first five hundred pounds which he could acquire in India, he immediately remitted for the support of his mother, then, by the death of her husband,- his step- father, become w dow ; a fine expression of filial piety, deserving to be admired when military fame shall become obso- lete ; when, as the heaven- taught seer of Judah sweetly sang, men " shall beat their swords into ploughshares, aud their swords into pruning- hooki neither shall they learn war any more." ^ ti « c£ UaiKOU0 Intelligence. MEXICAN PIGGERIES. A fine breed of that useful animal, the pig, is kep by several persons of wealth, as an article of trade* in the city of Mexico ; and the care and attention paid to their cleanliness and comfort so far exceed any thing I have seen elsewhere, that a short account may be useful, by furnishing hints to our farmers, brewers, distillers, & c. by whom large numbers of these valuable animals can be kept. Tbe premises where the business is carried on are extensive; con- sisting, in general, of a good dwelling house, with a shop, slaughter bouse, and places for singeing the pigs; large bowls for rendering tbe lard, and lard- rootns, with wooden bins for containing the rendered fat, which is an article of great consumption in Spanish cookery, being used as a substitute fo butter. There is also a soap manufactory, in which the offal fat is manufactured, and apartments where the blood is made into a kind of black pudding, and sold to tbe poor. Behind all these are the styes for the hogs generally from 800 to 1000 in number, which occupy a considerable range of well- built sheds, about 30 feet deep, with tbe roofs descending very low, and having the eutrance through low INDIA. The following account of the reported luxuries of the East, which we extract from Howison's " Foreign Scenes and Travelling Recreations," may help to reconcile some impatient youths to the sobriety of home fare, and the inconveniences attached to our cold and variable climate :— " In India, the details and appendages of a large dinner- party differ considerably from those belong- ing to a simihrt' entertainment in England. All the guests, whether male or female, are attended by their own servants, whose dresses are as various as ttiose of their masters and mistresses. Forty people seated at table have an equal number standing behind them ; and a person newly arrived in th East, and a member of such a company, would per- haps derive more amusement from viewing the servants than from the society of the individuals upon whom they were attending; for he might see men of four or five different castes, and of as many different nations, ministering to the wants of those of one. The punkah, which forms a part of the furni- ture of most dining- rooms in India, is usually kept in constant motion during dinner, when it is of more service iu driving away mosqnetoes, and dispelling the fumes of the meat, than in keeping the company cool. Indeed, one very disagreeable circumstance, arising from the crowd of servants in waiting at a large party, is the increase of heat which they occa- sion, and which, by taking away the appetites of the guests, in a manner renders the attendance of the former useless and unnecessary. People do not usually remain long at table after dinner has been removed, and very little wine is drank, which appears surprising: for one would suppose that tbe dull uniformity of life in India, tbe want of evening- amusements, and the enervating influence of the climate, would powerfully tempt a man to seek relief in the bottle. After all, a large dinner party in the East generally proves a heavy and fatiguing affair. It consists of an abundant repast, of which no one cares to partake ; of obsequious attendance, which is equally useless and inconvenient,— and of people too indolent to endeavour to auime one anotbsr, and The opinion given by the twelve Judges in the House of Lords, on the construction of the Act for limiting the rate of interest in India, confirms the tfiew of it taken by Lord Hastings. Without entering into the question of the expediency of the loans on which the question has arisen, we wonder that it could have been supposed that Parliament had ever intended to regulate the rate of interest on the money transactions of English subjects in foreign states. The Attorney and Solicitor General, however, decided that it did. The judges unanimously are of opinion that it did not. This shows, however, of what value the opinions of the most eminent counsel are, and how apt they are to be just what those who consult them wish. GRAND REVIEW OF CAVALRY AT tteuss- LOW.— This review, whieh had excited a considera- ble degree of interest, took place on Tuesday at Hounslow- heath. From a very early hour in tbe morning the road between London and Hounslow was thronged with every species " Of vehicle, filled with passengers of all ranks, eager to vieW the much talked of grand spectacle.— In the field, the lines were kept by the 8th Hussars, and ample space and every facility were given for the accommodation of the public.— At half- past eleven o'clock, tbe firing of artillery announced the arrival of his Majesty on the Heath. His Majesty was accompanied by a numerous suite. His Royal Highness the Duke of York was on the field before tbe arrival of the King, attended by bis staff, consisting of several General Officers. There were also on the field, their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge.— Tbe Duke of Wellington was not present.— Tbe troops to be reviewed were— Cuirassier Brigade— 1st Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, 2d Life Guards. Twelve squadrons, under the command of Colonel the Hon. H. B. Lygon. Heavy Brigade— 1st Dragoon Guards, 2d Dragoons ( Greys), 2d Dragoon Guards. Ten squadrons, under the command of Colonel Kearney, 2d Dragoon Guards, Light Brigade— 7ih Hussars, 12th Lancers. Six qtiadrons under the command of Colonel Brotherton, 12th Lancers. Artillery- 8 Field pieces, under the command of Colonel Downmati. The w hole were under the command of Lieutenant- General Lord Edward Somerset. On the arrival of the King there was a general salute, the whole of the regiments being drawn up in double line, and tbe hands playing the national anthem, " God save flip King." The troops then defiled before I: Majesty at ordinary time, next at double quick time ( the band of each regiment filing off and playing before the King as their respective eOrps passed.) The whole of the manceuvres were executed in the most gallant style. At the conclusion, the Corps again gavp a general salute, the bands as before playing " God save the King*." A considerable drawback on the pleasure of the day was caused by a tremendously heavy shower of rain, which began at tbe commencement of the evolutions, and con- tinued at intervals during the review. At the con- clusion of the scene, the rain poured in torrents, and continued for a considerable time. During the Review one of tbe men belonging to the Royal Artillery was killed by the falling of his horse. Corporal Forge, of the First Regiment of Life Guards, aud the Serjeant- Major of the Seventh Hussars, both fell during the charges. They were removed to the Barrack Hospital. It was remarked that Corporal Forge's horse fell iu the same hollow where a private of the name of Worthington of the same Regiment had fallen during the Field- day on the Friday preceding, by which accident his right thigh was broken. ARRIVAL OF LORD COCHRANE.— The Pe- ranga, Brazilian frigate, from Maranham, with Admiral Lord Cochrane on board, arrived on Monday at Portsmouth. A polyanthus, bearing 74 flowers on one stem, was last week gathered in the garden of Mr. Churchill, of Oath, near llminster. On removing a stack of wheat belonging to M Clarke, of Hellaby- hall, it was discovered that great number of mice had taken up their abode, and were making great ravages in the grain. When it is considered, that upwards of 800 wete killed, and that many made their escape, it will not be an exaggerated statement in saying, that there were not less than 1,100 in the stack. The grain was the produce of last harvest. The Commission for inquiring into the cause of the delays in the Court of Chancery will, we hopes lead to some improvement in the conduct of its business. It seems a very general feeling that something must be done, the present system of the Court being radically bad. It seems but justice to say that these evils belong to the system, and: not to the character of the Chancellor. But as the Court is at present constituted, it is an act of gross imprudence in any individual to litigate any sum in that Court under three or four thousand pounds : in all smaller sums, the ultimate issue would entirely swallow up the sum gained in costs. It is truly the Court of the rich oppressor, for however clear might be the rights of Ihe poor man, it would be an act of madness to contend against a long purse in a Court like this. We must not, however, be mistaken : the decree, when ultimately given, will probably be as just as human judgment could render it; but its substance would be this: pay the £ 2000 cosls, and take Ihe £ 300 or £ 500 you are contending for.— Belt's Messenger. By the arrival of the Cato transport we have received Sierra Leone Gazettes to the 7th of May, At that period the ships of war employed on the coast were generally healthy; bin tbe mortality among the troops at Cape Coast continued to be very great. It appeared by the last returns, that in the course of twelve months, 217 men and 24 officers ( besides women and children), had died; leaving I4( i men and eight officers only, of which the garrison was composed. The Paris Papers of Thursday announce the death of Ihe sister of Buonaparte, the Princess Pauline Borghese, at Florence. A clerical gentleman; the vicar of S , in the West Riding of Yorkshire, who was remarkable for " the obliquity of his optics," was once examining class of children in the National School of his own town ; w hen, to make one of his catechumens distinguish between the soft and hard sounds of the letter c, he asked, " What do 1 do when I look yon?" The simple child replied, " Why, please, Sir, you squint." On Tuesday last, Mr. William Ure, farmer, Foregathering- mill, in the paiish uf Houston, died afler a few days illness, iu the ninety. fifth year of his age. He was born, and spent his whole life, and was the oldest man, iu the parish. Hisjoumeye were always bounded by Greenock on Ihe one side, and Glasgow on the other. He never slept above a night al a time out uf his own house, except on one occasion, when he was persuaded to go as far as Edinburgh to see a daughter, who was house- keeper to a gentleman in that city. He was very industrious, temperate and regular in his habits, an entire stranger lo disease of every soi l; he never complained of even a head ache in his life. He enjoyed an unusual buoyancy of spirits, aud two years ago he walked with the speed and gait of % man of forty. He continued to wink about the farm till he became bedrid, and be enjoyed his re- collection, hearing, and sight unimpaired.— Glas- gow Chronicle. DUELLING— Although His Royal Highness the Duke of York did not hesilale for a moment in giving satisfaction to an officer who conceived it necessary lo vindicate his honour by such ai » appeal, yet His Royal Highness is known to have a strong aversion to duelling; and has, on more than one occasion, publicly expressed bis dis. approbation of the absurd custom. As Ihe head of Ihe British army, he has, it is true, felt how necessary it was lo preserve in it a nice and delicate sense of honour ; but wherever an officer engaged iu a duel has in Ihe slightest degree violated that honour, His Royal Highness ha. expiessed his disapprobation, either by reprimand, suspension, or dismissal from Ibe army, in pro- portion to the extenuating or aggravating circum- stances of the case. In one instantc, where a lieutenant had killed a brother officer m a duel, and was dismissed from Ihe aruiy, a general officer interceded with the Duke of York for a mitigation of Ihe sentence, saying it was merely an affair of honour. " Rest assured, General," said His Royal Highness, " there is no honour iu killing a fellow. cn ature iu a private quarrel."— i- ercy Anecdotes. PRECAUTION IX BATHING.— Never venture into Colli water when your body is much heated ; for Dr. Franklin relates an instance, within hu> own knowledge, of four young men who, having worked iu the heat of ihe day, with a view of re- freshing themselves, plunged into a spring ol cold water; two died upon the spot, a third the next morning, and the fourth recovered with great difficulty. SUDOEW DEATH.— In our slate of frajl mor- tality it behoves us lo render every event calculated to remind us of Ihe uncertainty of all earthly enjoyments, the subject of deep and serious alien, tion. There is something more than solemn, in considering how soon Ihe most robust, aud ap- parently healthful human being may be laid low, and the principle of life extinct, and the conscious- ness of existence passed away, as though il had never been!— How soon we may be humed from the light of day, and Ihe active exertions of the busy world, into the gloom, aud the unbroken aud untroubled quiet of the grate!— How soon the throbbing pulse may be stilled— the beating heart at rest— and the eye that looked out upon the loveliness of creation, closed iu its last dark slumber!— These are Ihe truisms which we must reflect upon as incident to our common nature, and which should warn us to be ever m ndlul uf that doom which no human effort cau avert.
