IRON.— On the Shropshire and Staffordshire quarter days, last week, the price of pig irou fell ten shillings per ton. Manufactured iron continued at the same prices as the previous quarter.— Globe. The following Circular, respecting the new Jury Bill, has been issued from the Home Office, for the due promulgation of that important and valuable measure, and we think we cannot do better than call the attention of our readers to the subject:— " Whitehall, July 4, 1825. T( SIR,— I herewith transmit a copy of the Act ( 6 Geo. IV. c. 50), which has recently passed, for consolidating and amending the laws relative to Jurors and Juries. The machinery for the con- struction of the Jury lists came into operation on the lst inst. hilt the general provisions of the Act v/ ill not be in force until the commencement of the next year. * 4 As it is highly important that the duties of those who are concerned in the .' formation of the Jists, should he fully understood, I think it would be extremely useful that you should explain them in your charge to the Grand Jury at the approach- ing Quarter Sessions. And it will also he desirable that you should call the attention of your brother Magistrates to the necessity of their appointing a Special Petty Sessions, to be held within the last seven days of September, for the purpose of receiv- ing, considering, reforming, and allowing the lists : the day of holding which Sessions must be fixed, so as to enable the Clerk of the Petty Sessions to give notice of it to the High Constables of each Hundred, and' to the Churchwardens'and Overseers of each Parish, before the 20th of August. You will find this subject treated of in the 10th Section of the Act " The qualifications and exemptions of Jurors are described in the two first clauses ; and as they are also fully stated in the Precepts, which will be in the hands of tiie Parish Officers, I hope there is little danger of their being misunderstood. The great alteration consists in making the owners of personal property qualified to serve on Juries, which is effected by qualifying those who are rated or assessed to the Poor Rate, or Inhabited House Duty, in £ 20, or occupy a house with fifteen windows. ii You will not fail to observe that the lists, which have been heretofore prepared by the Petty Constable or Tythingman, are now, according to the 6th, 7' h, 8th, arid 9th sections, to be prepared by the Churchwardens and Overseers, who are deemed to he, in the great majority of cases, more intelligent and more conversant with the subject than those on whom the duty has hitherto fallen. And the power given by the 11th clause, of inspect- ing the Tax Assessments and Poor ftates, is calcu- lated to facilitate the discharge of this duty. u The 44th and 45th sections impose such penal- ties on the Peace and Parish Officers for the. neglect of their several duties, as, it is hoped, will deter them from neglecting them. u I have the honour to be, SIR, ct Your most obedient humble servant, " ROBERT PEEL. <{ To the Chairman of the July Quarter Sessions for the •" • — .'* SHROPSHIRE Auxiliary Bible Society. rtHH E same Circumstance that caused Jit the General Annual Meeting of this Society to he advertised for the 22( 1 Instant instead of the first Wednesday in the present Month, makes it now necessary to convene it Two Days earlier.

Clough, of St. John's College, and J. H. M. Luxmore, of St. John's College, were created Masters of Arts. NATIONAL SCHOOL.— On Sunday last, a Ser- mon was preached, for tbe benefit of the Public Subscription School, on the National System, in this ( own, in the morning at Si. Chad's, ami in the afternoon at St. Julian's. The Hon. and R< v the Mayor, with the other Members of the Body Corporate, and a numerous and very respectable body of the subscribers and friends to this excellent Institution, accompanied the President, Sir Ilow- land Hill, Bail. M. P. from Ihe County Hall to St. Chad's Church. The Rev. Brian Hill preached the sermon from John v. 39—" Search the Scrip- lures." The Rev Gentleman forcibly pleaded the use of Ihe Institution, by recommending the superior mode of education adopted in the National Schools, for its intrinsic value,— and the education of the poor generally, on christian principles. With reference peculiarly to the Institution now under notice, he adverted very feelingly to the following passages in the Report of Ihe Committee, just issued : No improvement has taken place in the di- minished list of Subsciibers which it became their painful duty of late to announce. A still further defalcation has been experienced, though to HO considerable amount, since tbe last anniversary ; and the Committee cannot but express increased anxiety for the stability of the Institution, on the enlarged scale of usefulness which has hitherto so happily marked its course. It was hoped that, while other valuable chari- ties were carried on with unabated vigour, and even new channels opened to tbe tide of public benevolence, tbe National School of Shrewsbury would, at least, have maintained unimpaired its share of patronage; and it is with unfeigned con- " Crn that their disappointment is acknowledged. " The interests of every well- wisher to the re- gions education of the poor, and their consequent moral improvement, are so blended with the pros- perity of tbe Institution, that, notwithstanding Ihe great, reduction in the list of the supporters of this Charity, they are unwilling to relinquish the con- viction of its eventually proving only a temporary check, and that there exists the same ardent dis- position, which was formerly evinced ou the part of lie town aud its vicinity, to foster an object replete with inestimable ( rood to those indigent inhabitants who reside at their own doors, and tinder their con- stant inspection."'''

A most respectable Correspondent requests to call public attention to the necessity of providing some convenient place for holding the CATTLE, SHEEP, and Pin FAIRS, so that the thoroughfares of the. town may be freed from the impediments now placed every month upon them.- - We believe there is but one opinion as to the propriety and necessity of adopting some means for this purpose; and we shall be happy to hear of any steps being taken towards the attainment of so desirable an object. ffti^ f0 " ITEO'ENTIA," who complains of the number of persons to be seen, principally about the ends of the town, on the Loan's DAY, with their working aprons oil, and altogether io a most unseemly state for the Sabbath, will find the article to which he alludes iu our 4th page; and lie may rest assured that any cases brought betore the proper Authorities will meet with prompt attention.

To ( lie Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR — it was with much pleasure I read in your lust Journal of the care taken at the Abbey and Wrnxeter churches, not only to preserve and orna- ment those sacred edifices," hut also to perpetuate various memorials of the " illustrious dead," who have long passed to " that solemn account which all must one day give." However erroneous ( and certainly in some respects it was most erroneous) may have been the system of theology taught to our Norman ancestors and their more immediate successors, the devout Christian must often contem- plate the monuments of their piety still existing, as well as philosophize on tbe mouldering remains of those long alienated from the sacred purposes lo which tliev were originally dedicated; afid when he sees how numerous were the Churches, & e. in " the olden time," as compared with the population, and as contrasted with the relative proportions of Ihe population and the Places of Worship in his own day, he may be induced to ask himself, whe- ther, among all the unceasing efforts and pursuits of the present age, " the one thing needful" is not the very object: which has received the least atten. tion ? I have been induced to trouble you upon this occasion by three circumstances : first, the fact, sufficiently notorious, that accommodation ill tbe Churches of Shrewsbury was, at the recent letting!, unattainable by many persons; secondly, by a ru- moured statement, that the building of a Chapel of Ease in the populous and respectable suburb of Frankwell has been contemplated; and, thirdly, from having heard that the revered and active Bishop of the Diocese will in a few days visit Shrewsbury, when I hope and trust some persons of rank or influence will wait upon his Lordship, and respectfully represent the want of church accommodation for our numerous and increasing population. If this were to be done, I think the result would be most beneficial and creditable to the town in every sense ; and when the present price of church accommodation is considered, I think, Sir, it will not require the argument of even tbe humble individual who now addresses you, to show that, while the good work < tould receive the acquiescence of all Christians, each motive of duty and of interest must combine to ensure tbe zealous co- operation of every person who can consistently call himself A CHURCHMAN. Tbe organ, Ihe gift of Henry Wakeman, Esq. to the Parish Church of Claim s, was opened for the first time in divine service on Sunday morning se'nnight, in the presence of a very full and highly respectable congregation. A most eloquent nnd appropriate sermon was preached on the occasion hy Ihe Rev, E. P. Owen, M. A. from Ibe Ofith Psalm, 9th v. " O worship tbe Lord in tbe beauty of holiness:" and a selection of sacred music ably performed by Mr. Harris, Mr. Holloway, Masters Rogers and Sarjeant ; Mr. Charles Clarke pre- siding at the organ in his usual masterly manner. Tbe instrument possesses great compass and depth of lone, combined with much sweetness and melody, and is as well an ornament as a most valuable ap- pendage to the neal and sacred edifice in which il lands dedicated to the service of the Most High.— There was a collection at Ibe conclusion of the service towards the purchasing of music books, and other incidental expenses, which am. lYitltcd to the very handsome sum of £ 42 15s. 2jd. CAUTION.— Persons entering or going out of Shrewsbury, by way of the Castle Gates, in car- riages or on horseback, are recommended to alight whilst passing the alterations now taking place in that part of the town, as, although a fence has been placed alongside the part that is lowered, still, from the necessarily contracted width of road, and the loose stones by the side, horses are very liable to take fright aud swerve ; an instance of which occurred on Thursday last, when the Rev. Dr. Gardner narrowly escaped a most serious accident: his horse, in consequence of the noise occasioned by the friction of the wheel against the curb- stone, swerved, and in so doing got upon the loose stones and gravel, which caused him to press forward against tbe fence, which gave way, and the gig was upset into tbe lower road, but we are happy to say that Dr. Gardner escaped with only a slight bruise or two. At the General Quarter Sessions for this County, yesterday, Ihe. Chairman, THOMAS PBMBBRTON, Esq. called tiie attention of the Jury and the High Constables to tbe New Jury Act just come into operation, which he explained at some length, and the Precepts for which, containing the necessary instructions to the High Constables, Churchwardens and Overseers, See. have been issued hy the Clerk of ihe Peace.— The prisoners were afterwards tried, and sentenced as under:— William Hall, for stealing 2 bushels of malt, the property of W. Birch Price, Esq, of Feltou Butler, to be imprisoned 6 calendar months to hard labour.— Charles Crump aud John Crump, for stealing 3!, lbs. of butter, tbe property of William Dabbs, of Wellington : Charles Crump to be imprisoned 6 calendar months, and John Crump 4 calendar months, to hard labour.— Edward Richards, for stealing a coat and a handkerchief, from the Lock Tavern, near Ellesmere, to be im- prisoned 3 calendar months to hard labour.— Elizabeth Gough and Jane Gough, for stealing- coal, at Whitchurch : the former to be imprisoned 3 calendar months, and the latter 1 calendar month. — Margaret Joues alias Hughes, for feloniously milking a cow at Ellesniere, to be imprisoned 3 weeks. Committed to our County Gaol, Thomas Davies, Marv Davies, and Ann Davies, charged with steal- ing- out of the dwelling house of Thomas Satcbwell, of Wellington, a quantity of cotton stockings, about eight yards of flannel, a flannel petticoat, about eight ' shillings iu copper, about ten shillings silver, a pair of shoes, two one pound notes, and other articles, at various times within 12 months past. ^ potting Intelligence. We understand the present breeding season of Game has been particularly propitious toSportsmen; and that the coverts within tbe Shropshire Hunt never bad a finer show of Foxes. We are likewise informed, from the best authority, that Sir Belling- hain Graham's arrangements are calculated to afford every possible satisfaction to tbe subscribers to tbe Shropshire Hounds, as well as to the neighbourhood generally— Sir B. G. having announced bis intention of regularly hunting five days a week during- the ensuing winter, three days on the Shrewsbury side, and two davs on the Sliiffnal side of the County We are further very much gratified in being able to state, that in a few days the New Stables, erected by subscription, will be perfectly ready for the reception of Sir Bellingham's horses, and that the ICennel will be rapidly completed, and does much credit to Messrs. Croves and Hams, tbe contractors When we consider the necessary expenditure imme- diately connected with a Pack of Fox Hounds, and Ihe great advantages derived to the neighbourhood from a well- established Hunt, by the many induce- ment! it affords to the Gentlemen of the County lo form a society at home, iu lieu of seeking it at a distance,— the attraction it holds out to strangers and to visitors,— to the agriculturist, for tbe ready and increased demand for every part of his produce — and to the commercial man, for the greatly aug mented supplies absolutely required,— we hope w may he allowed to flatter ourselves, that the " Town and Trade" of Shrewsbury, as well as the County at large, will feel sensibly the exertions already made for the establishment, and will participate in its pleasures, nnd its profits ; and that wheneve " the NiMtioo k> f the day" visits his " friends round the Wrekin," he will find, that the young men of Old Salop have a just claim and title to he placed in the front rank of Sportsmen, aa well as of Heroes.

CURIOUS FACT.— On the 25th ult. some work- men mowing the lawn in front of a mansion about 6 miles from this town, found a partridge's nest containing 16 eggs: a bantam lieu was sitting upon some of her own eggs in the poultry. housf ; and for her eggs were substituted those of the partridge; a young man then employed there bad five of the displaced bantam eggs, which he brought that evening wrapped in a handkerchief in his hat to Shrewsbury; they were ( being stil 1 wrapped in the handkerchief; placed in a warm oven for Ihe night; and next day, they were re- moved ( still wrapped in the handkerchief) to a village two miles from Shrewsbury, and placed for that day in a recess under the kitchen grate, where they were kept al a moderate heat : Yhat night, they were put under a hen then sitting ; and on the 2d inst. three of the five eggs produced the same number of fine chickens, which are now alive and healthy; anil on the same day, the 16 part- ridge's eggs placed under the bantani hell produced 16 partridges, A RANTING SERMON !— On Sunday afternoon last, one of the preachers of the denomination termed Ranters, holding forth in Coleham, in this town, took occasion, " in the second place" of his discourse, to comment on the neglect of persons, in not reading their Bibles; when lie observed lhat people's attention was drawn from the affairs of their souls, by persons calling in, which induced them to sit and talk of their worldly affairs, smoke their pipes, and cant, so that their books were laid by. and ihey became u nasty and dirty, and filthy and mucky, till yon may take your fingers, and write 4 Damnation' on the covers of them !"

Among a variety of learned remarks on labourers' wages, the state of the crops, mode of farming, rotation of crops, & c. this " traveller very gravely informs his publisher, that, at Market Lavington, Wilts, a person who lives there told him " his father rented more than two hundred acres of land, auil kept about FOUR, HUNDRED cows !! !— Our agricultural friends in Shropshire we conceive, would be puzzled to make the lik'e number of acres square with such a stock of cattl FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Monday afternoon last, as Edward Thomas, an elderly labouring man was returning with a cart ( oil which he rode, and guided the horse by reins) from Condover to Shrewsbury, when, near Buystone Hill, the horse suddenly started at speed, the unfortunate man was pitched from Ihe cart, and was seen falling with bis head to ( he ground, and be died almost instantly.— The deceased bore an excellent charac ter and has left a widow and several children. DEPRAVITY AND SUICIDE.— On ihe 27th nit. an Inquest was held at Dorrington, near Woore, in this county, on the body of Elizabeth Law ton; when it appeared that the deceased had had four children by her own brother 1 and was again pregnant hy him !— Having, in consequence, fallen under the severe censure of respectable persons in the vicinity, her mind became affected ami she committed suicide by drowning herself.— Verdict, Lunacy. A petition was presented to the House of Com mons on Tuesday evening, by Mr. Littleton, signed by two thousand females residing in Ibe neigh, bourhood of Birmingham, against Negro Slavery They prayed that after a certain day, to be named by Parliament, all children burn uf negro slaves might be born free ; and that as most probably large fund would be required for carrying such plan into effect, tbe Legislature should sanction the raising of large contributions in various parts of the country for that purpose. Sunday School Society for Ireland. We had much pleasure in stating in our Journal of the 15th ult. that on the 4th of June an Auxiliary to the Sunday School Society for Ireland was formed at Wem, by the Rev. Richard Pope ( from Ireland), the Rev. Robert M'Ghee, and the Rev. Brian Hill: and we have now the gratification of informing our readers, that, although tbe population of the parish of Wem is but 1550, yet, so liberal lias been the spirit of tbe inhabitants of that town and vicinity, that the sum of £ 60 ( of which £ 36. 6s. 6d. are annual subscriptions), has been added to the funds of the Parent Institution; the same having been transmitted, on Saturday last, to Dublin, by the bauds ofthe Rev. Robert M'Ghee, who kindly undertook to be the bearer of it to James Digges Latouch, Esq, Secretary of tbe Parent Society in Dublin. The brilliant example thus set by the town of Wem will, we doubt not, be emulated hy other towns in Shropshire — thus forming a chain of Auxiliary Associations, whose benevolent objects and mutual feeling wilt alike tend to the ornament and credit of the County. We are authorised to state that the Viscountess Lorton has honoured the Wem Society by becoming its Patroness; aud that the Lord Bishop of ibis Diocese has kindlv consented to become its Patron. — The Rev. E. ' T. Steward ( the Rector) has accepted the office of President; the Rev. Brian Hill, that of Treasurer; the Rev. Thomas Jenkyn, of Wem, and Miss Jane Hill, of Weston Cottage, the office of Secretaries : and the Society is greatly indebted to tbe Rev. George Salt and tbe Rev.

YEOMANRY CAVALRY.— In the House of Commons, on Friday, the lst inst. Mr. STUART WORTLKY took the opportunity of asking the Right Hon. Secretary ( Mr. Peel), whether it was intended to grant any additional privileges to the Yeomanry Cavalry? — Mr. Secretary PEEI. said, that inspec- tions had lately taken pi'ace of the different corps, from a desire of retaining them, and the purpose of seeing which of them were in an effective state. Some of them hud sent in their resignation, rather than be subjected to the trouble and expense of periodical inspections. With respect to the privi- lege of being exempt from the office of constable, he did not think it desirable that branch of the law should lose the respectability which, through the individuals composing Ihe yeomanry, naturally attached to it. No one could be more friendly IO the yeomanry than he was, and he thought it better even to pay tliein more, if necessary, in order that Ihe country might have the ben efit' of an efficient force.— Mr. LITTLETON declared his conviction that the inspection of the yeomanry corps instituted by the Right Hon. Secretary, would be productive of great benefit.— MABKRLEY hoped that the Might Hon. Secretary vvould call for the resignation of all corps which were not prepared to put them- selves in an efficient state for service. For his own part he must say, that he should be ready to vote for the corps to which he belonged being struck off the list, if it did not put itself into a fit condition to be serviceable to the country. He thought also the yeomanry ought to perform all the civil offices of the State.— Mr. Secretary PEEL said, it was his intention to issue orders that every corps should go out to be subjected to strict periodical inspections. MIRACULOUS RECOVERY.— We are happy to slate, lhat George Merriman, waggoner to Mr. Shermore, « > f Temple- street, Bristol, over whose bladder and bowels the broad wheels' of a loaded stage- waggon passed, on the 2d of June last, is recovered by an operation which Mr. Francis Hands, surgeon, of the town of Berkeley, per formed ; namely, that of making an opening through the bowel into the bladder, to evacuate its con- tents,— Gloucester Journah WALES.

A vast number of men are employed there, and the new mansion, which is on a very large scale, will probably be ready,— at least partially,— for occupa- tion this year The marine views from Talacre cannot be surpassed; the fine terrace ou which it is situated being about I wo miles beyond Ibe Point of Air light- house, and commanding superb views ofthe shipping passing lo and from the Ports of Liverpool and Chester, with a fine prospect of tile Lancashire and Cheshire bills, & c. PVNBEDW.— The neighbourhood of Penbedw was recently rendered a scene of very considerable rejoicing, in consequence of the arrival of Mrs. Annabel la Williams among her numerous and devoted tenantry. Indeed, ibe many grateful re- collections attached to the memory ofthe late Major Williams — the length of time which he passed as the friend and patron of all classes iu that vicinity— his knowledge and strict integrity as a Magistrate — and his constant solicitude for tlie welfare of his tenants, aud all others around him,— had already associated with the of Williams every idea that was best calculated to unite llie hearts of all persons to his niece and heiress. Nor was this at tachment suffered in the least to be weakened by the many virtues and charitable actions, which'dis- tinguished the long life of his amiable consort, lately deceased ; and also the life of his much re- spected sister, tbe late Mrs. Puieston, mother of the good Lady, who now succeeds to the Estates and Mansion. It was not, therefore, the ringing of hells in several of the neighbouring parishes, the firing of cannon,- the sound of ratlsic, walled along the peaceful Vale of Naniierch,— and the profusion of cwrw da, the usual concomitants on such occasions, that rendered Ibis event peculiarly interesting, ( although of these things there uas no deficiency,) bin it was the universal diffusion of sincere gladness, lhat appeared spread over every countenance, and that augured a continuance of that attachment to tbe present owner of Penbedw, which was si universally felt towards her worthy predecessors. The Milford Mail, on its way from Brecon to Llandovery, on Tuesday last, overtook a person from Devynnoek riding home on a young horse, about three miles from Brecon, when the horse took fright, tbe rider was thrown oil', and the coach went over his body, and, we are sorry to add, lie died on tbe following day. NEW LONDON UNIVERSITY.— We stated in our last, that a public meeting was held in London, on Friday, the lst inst. for founding a London Un iversity. Mr. Brougham, Dr. Birkbeck, & c. were the leading speakers on the occasion, and its object was state'd to be to afford a liberal education to the middling classes at a moderate expense. All classes of collegiate education are to be taught, except Theology, which is to be wholly excluded • no Scholarships to be" founded j the money neces- sary for the Institution to be raised by £ 10* 0 shares. Dr. Birkbr. ck said he had been accused of raising the lower orders to a level with their superiors by establishing the Mechanics' Institution : the present University would do away the objection, by raising the middling class in a proportionate degree. The following observations as to the proposed Institution appear iu IheSt, James's Chronicte.: — " We have with much anxiety looked through the liberal Journals, for some further illustration of the plan and purposes of the London College. They have been all, however, prudently silent, . since the array of last Friday has awakened the public mind to the real objects and unavoidable tendency of this dangerous project. The progress of our researches has, however, led us to the embryo of the scheme in a periodical work called the Edinburgh Review, once of considerable notoriety, but now nearly as scarce and curious" as the ancient treasures or new publications of the Roxburgh Club. Loid Coke says, that to trace an error to its source is to expose it and we are of opinion that we cannot offer any stronger motive for regarding this College scheme with jealousy aud alarm, than by shewing that it is a product of that mint of mischief— the Edinburgh Review. We have not room, to- day for the article in which the plan of this jacobin* and infidel seminary is laid down by the Reviewer; and we must therefore beg leave to postpone, for the present, our observations upon the subject. 1' The accounts received from Ireland are very satisfactory. The country enjoys tranquillity, nor has the rejection of the Catholic Bill disturbed, i. i the slightest degree, the public repose. OLDHAM CPIURCH, LANCASHIRE.— In conse- quence of the well- known dangerously dilapidated state of this ancient structure, a considerable degree of alarm was created on Sunday evening se'unight during divine service, by the falling down of tire vestry . chimney, upon the roof of tbe church. This was occasioned by the gable of the chancel, which has long been much out of perpendicular, givin; a litle more way. No, sooner was it heard than the congregation, ( which was as full as the church could admit within its walls,) as if actuated by one feeling, viz , that the church was falling, instantane ously rose and rushed to the doors in a state of fright and confusion not easily described. Forms aud pews were broken down, and the windows and every place of egress instantly choked up by their simultaneous attempts at escape: many fell, and before they could be taken up were trampled upon and hurt; others suffered from cuts and con- tusions, and from the loss and rending of their garments. Some few persons unfortunately had limbs dislocated. We have not heard that any in- jury of a more serious nature was sustained. At the Guildhall, in this city, on Monday, the question whether a person bound apprentice by the parish, was entitled to his freedom, was again dis- cussed. In the cour. se of the proceeding, an Order of the House of Commons was produced, directing that every person who had served an apprenticeship of seven years should be admitted to his freedom, unless the persons in whose hands was lodged the power ot granting freedoms, had a bye- law to the contrary; aud as it was stated lhat the Mayor and Corporation had made a bye law against the ad- mission of apprentices of the above description, the question was decided in the negative.-— We understand that the person who made the applica- tion for admission, will ( with the assistance of others similarly situated) apply to the Court of King's Bench for a Mandamus, calling upon the Mayor and Corporation to. shew cause why they should not be adm. tted to thc « r freedom,— Worces- ter Journal.

CHESTER FAIR.— Our great July Fair com- menced last Tuesday, and we never witnessed such a number of horses and buyers in ibe market he- fore. There was a great deal of business done, particularly in good horses, on the second day there were a many sold. Generally speaking they fetched good prices ; hut there were many Irish horses left unsold. The business in the Halls has been but slack, and several of the shops remain empty. There is a great abundance of British manufacture in the market, consisting of Woollen aud Cotton goods, Linens, Hardware, Sec. which are upon the advance. There are but few Hops in ihe market ; and, owing to the devastation made hy the insect, a rapid improvement in price has taken place, which still continues, anil may be belter estimated by consulting the following average of value, viz, : — 1818, 181", 1820, 1821, from 4gs. to figs.; 1824, Sgs.— Chester Courant. At Gloucester fair, on Tuesday last, there was a tolerably large supply ( if cattle ; but Ihey were mostly of such a description, as not to be much in demand ; the very few meaty and fat beasts tlsat were exhibited, went oil' briskly at good prices.

GREAT SALE AT NEWCASTLE.— The Sale of Hie Mavquis of Stafford's valuable property in the Borough of Newcastle- under- Lyme, commenced on Monday week, at the Roe- buck inn, and has been altogether very well attended. Most of the best lots have been strongly contested ; the bid- dings for the public. houses, in particular, have gone beyond the reserves, and run very high. The Roe- buck inn was put up on Thursday ; there was only one bid of £ 5,000, and Mr. Edwards, the auctioneer,. stated the reserve to be £ 7,000. Many lots were purchased by private treaty at the reserve price, which in various cases greatly exceeded the biddings. The property has been in general pur- chased hy Ihe occupiers. A strawberry was gathered on Monday last in a garden at Oxford, belonging to the Reverend J. Bardgett, measuring five inches and a quarter in circumference, and weighing twelve pennyweights and sixteen grains. A horrible accident happened the beginning of this week in Mr. Lowndes's park, near Chesham. A bull had been, for the first, time this season, turned into the park on Monday, when a boy, who had assisted at a hay- stack, removing to take his dinner to some other part of the field, out of sight of his comrades, the bull, it appears, attacked him, and left him dead upon the ground. The companions of the boy were ignorant of his fate, till a person passing by, saw the bull furiously pawing the ground, and, looking around, perceived the ap- pearance of apparel, and discovered the unfortu- nate lad weltering in his hload. Spreading alarm, he collected assistance, and with difficulty drove the furious animal from the spot, to which the people proceeded to ascertain the conditiou of the victim. : The body was lifeless, with many of his limbs ^ rpken. From marks upon the ground, it appeared that the bull had, ou its first effort, thrown the poor boy a very considerable distance ; and, from the blood which was on the park palings, some of which were broken, it also seemed as if the hapless youth hod made an unsuccessful, attempt to escape by g- etting over them. Tt was after that, effort, it is supposed, that, the furious animal com pieted its sanguinary work.-— Bucks Chr. trni. cie. COMBINATION ANO SHOCKING MURDER — Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, a crowd of working men, from 30 to 40 in number, were seen assembled about the drawbridge, leading lo Rings- end, and divided into groups of six persons each. In a few . moments, two lads, Richard Neill and Andrew Marchant, apprentices to Mr. Morton, ship- carpenter, of Ring> end, on their way to break- fast, arrived opposite ihe gas factory ; one of the groups, of six persons, armed with a " slating bludgeon," ran at Marchant, and laid him prostrate by a blow on the bead ; and with such furious force was the blow given, that the ruffian who levelled it was propelled some paces beyond the unfortunate victim of atrocity. This wretch, how- ever, without changing his position more than turninghimself half shoulder forward,, inflicted a second blow on poor Mareiratit's head, with appa- rently still greater force. He then passed on, and was succeeded by a second death- dealer, at the moment of whose arrival Marchant was heard to supplicate the first assassin, calling on him by name to spare bis life ; but, as will readily be anticipated, the persons who could associate for such a purpose were insensible to the feelings of humanity, and the unhappy Marchant received another blow from the second monster. Their thirst for blood was not yet satiated, and a third miscreant put an end to " the miserable apprentice's sufferings, by a biow also on the head, after which Marchant was never seen to move- Another group had attacked Neill, but by the time Marchant was dispatched, the whole party were obliged to fly, in consequence of the appear- ance of the workmen from the gas factory, who were coming out to breakfast, and with some of whom the combiners came in contact. A bludg- eon was rescued from one of the assassins, by th. gasmen. Neill, although very seriously hurt, is not in quite a hopeless state. Marchant was eonveye to Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital, where every atten- tion was paitf to him, but without effect, the com biners having done their horrid work effectually An elderly man, a ship carpenter's joiner, was also beaten,' and ^ gd both his legs broken, yesterday He in this miserable stale to hi: place of abode, fhe whole party who had attacked the apprentices were seen to run off in different directions, throwing- away their weapons. An investigation into the circumstances bf this atrocious murder was held yesterday, before the magistrates of Colleo'e- street, Police- office, but we are not at liberty, in this stage of the proceeding, to go into details.—- Dublin Freeman's Journal, July 7. The quantity of blood taken into the heart, and expelled therefrom into the arteries, by successive pulsations, in the course of, twenty- four hours, has been lately estimated, by Dr. Kidd, at 24f hogs- heads in an ordinary man, and 8,000 hogsheads in a large whale!— So that the whole mass of blood ill such a man, reckoning; it at thirty five pints, passes 288 times through his heart daily, or once in five minutes, by 375 pulsations, each expelling about lj ounce of blood, or about three table- spoonfuls each pulse! REMARKABLE CASE.— There is a person of mid- dle age in the vicinity of Boston who has nothing but the muscles and common integuments to cover or defend the heart on the left side of the thorax. The heart's pulsation can be seen distinctly, even pressing itself beyond the anterior side' of the sternum. This is a great curiosity to the anatomist, and strikes those who are acquainted with the beautiful mechanism of this never- tiring organ with astonishment, as it seems, on viewing this phenomenon, as though every succeeding throb would burst the heart, and sever the thread of life an instant. The facts in relation are simply these:— When the individual of whom we are speaking was a child, by some strange accident all the ribs about this part were badly fractured, but instead of uniting again, a deposition of ossilic matter took place, the absorbents took away the injured bone, and none was afterwards formed, thus leaving the heart entirely unprotected. Even the puncture of a pin at this tender part would be his death, and yet he is apparently so careless of his existence, that he never has provided himself with any pectoral defence beside his common clothing.— American Medical Intelligencer. The admirable adaption of the Scotsman for advancing in mercantile pursuits, his extreme do- cility to his superiors, the comparatively little upon which be can make himself appear respectable, and his constant endeavours to set his sails to every wind, have not only thronged the counting- houses of London wiih Scots clerks, but added Scots part- ners to most of the firms. But still, uotwilhstand- the numbers and the influence of those person- ages, they, have not attempted to stamp a genuinely Scots character even upon that portion of metropo- litan society of, w. hich they form so large a fraction. The very qualities which render them the best servants of their employers, ot one stage of their progress, and, the most efficient associates at another, dispose them also to ape the manners nnd imbibe the tastes of those about Ihem. Besides, they find that none of those matters; upon which the very highest value was set in. their own country, is of the least consequence in that to which they are come. Their small feudal connexions— the boasted rela- tionship to some unshaven proprietor of two or three barren mountains— the, legendary accounts of two or three marvellous men, of whom nobody out of Scotland ever heard— the puritanical sobriety in which they are educated, and Ihe parsimony in which they were so industriously trained — have no counterpart, aud find no sympathy among the spe- culative and luxurious people that thev now meet. Thus they gradually lose that character which they brought with them ; and thouyh they neveracquire the real and decided characteristics" of John Bull, they put ou as much of the appearance of them as makes them pass, if not for Englishmen, ot least as something very different from entire and unex- 5? r.

NKWLINO, High- Street; CHESTER, J, Ssacokb', Bridge- Street. ported Scotsmen ; and hence, whatever of. Scotch, of Irish, or of Foreign is discoverable in Loudon, is to be considered, not as a primary. but as a secondary quality, of London manners; and though the wards be many and intricate, the only key by which there is even a chance of opening them, is the character of John Bull. 44 The imprint upon John is as deeply stamped as upon a Greek medal ; and wherever you find him, Whether in Londo. i or Calcutta, whatever be his. rank, and whether he commands or obeys, he never can be mistaken. Every where he is a blunt matter- of- fact sort of a being, very honest, but cold, and repulsive withal. He has the solidity of a material substance all over; and you can never fail to observe, that wherever he is, or with whoever he associates, John always considers himself tbe fore most man,— nor will be take any advice or a lesson from any body that previously gives him a hint that he needs it. Wherever lie is, too, you can perceive that his own comfort— his own immediate personal comfort, is the grand object of ail his exertions nnd all his wishes. John Bull, if he thinks there is any chance of making a profit by it, will bargain with you at first sight; but before you can make an intimate of him you must court him as you would a lady ; and even then, if you be romantic iu your friendships, you soon discover that his friendship, like the love of a coquette, is not much worth having. He gives you cold and polite civility before this courting, and" IK? has not much more to give you after. There is such mechanic*?! formality, and such a frank avowal of that selfishness which other people may feel just as strongly, but which they are more careful to conceal, that you do not enjoy the luxury of an Englishman's feast with half the zestthatyou would a handful of dates with the Bedouin in the desert. " But while be. is thus the coldest friend that you can imagine, he is the safest neighbour, and the most fair- dealing and generous enemy : while he keeps his own castle likea bashaw, he never thinks of in vading yours. Comfort— meaning thereby the capacity of purchasing whatever he thinks will render himself snug, and independence— that is, feeling that he can do whatever he thinks, — being the grand object with him, he cares not a straw for those adventitious and perhaps ideal distinctions that, so much plague the rest of the world. Hi pride— aud pride lie has in great abundance— is not the pride of Haman ; he cares not a straw though Mordecat the Jew should sit ever so long at his gate, his only solicitude being that the said Mordecai should not come within it, without the special permission of the owner, and that granted for something that shall conduce to the said owner's advantage or comfort. 44 His selfishness is not like the selfishness of most other nations : it does not go our after ideal whims and visionary fancies, but remains constant and attentive to himself. No man can devote twin- self more entirely or more successfully to the aecu mutation of wealth than John Bull, and no man can boast more of it after it is acquired ; nor is any nation so little careful of kicking away and despis- ing the ladder, if an unseemly one, by which it climbs to opulence, as the English. Let. it be the humblest profession in the world— the sale of car. riou, or the collecting of rags or rubbish, and that in consequence of success in it he is able to retire to his box, and set up his equipage in the purlieus of the metropolis',— John Bull never despises tbe car. rion or the dust; they are the best of all possible thing's, and, in his estimate, for the best of all possible reasons, 4 they made him a warm man, aud lie is now as snug as a lord.' " His pride, too, is a plant of English growth ; and though he boasts a good deal, his boasts are not of the kind met with in the rest of the world. Yon never hear him giving himself airs on account of his ancestry ; for if John be what lie calls warm, he cares not a straw whether his grandfather was a Duke or a dustman. 4 Every man is himself, and no man is his father,' is John's theory: and upon this theory be acts very steadily. It is true- that he does boast of being an Englishman— that he does reckon his being born somewhere between Lowestoff and St. David's, and between Penzance and Ber wick, as being a much more fortunate circumstance than if he had drawn his first breath in any other locality in the solar system. Old England is his, and he is Old England's ; there is nothing like it in all the world; it can enrich the world, instruct the world, and, if properly provoked, conquer the world. Mention the King to him— that very Kinw whose throne it forms part of his general boast to support, and he instantly complains of the vast expense of the Royal household, the corruption of the Royal Patronage, and the increasing, alarming and overwhelming influence of the Crown ; and tells you, that if there be not large and speedy retrenchments, curtailments, and restraints, * Eng'- lahd will soon cease to he England. Tell him of the two Houses of Parliament, and he will quarrel with and condemn them both— will complain that the one is filled by Court favour, and the other by party and corruption; and the probability is, that lie will assure you that England would be all fhe better if. there were no Parliament in existence. Talk to him about, the Church— the enlightened hierarchy, the virtuous rectors, and the laborious curates, and he will come down upon you in a perfect tornado against tit hes, and swear t hat every churchman, from his Grace down to his Greasiness, is for no other use than eating up the produce, of other men's labour. Mennou public opinion to him, and the great advantage of spreading informa- tion rapidly over the count ry, and the chances' are, that he will overlook the good, and complain 4 because falsehood travels in this way as rapidly as truth; and that people get rid of the nonsense of to- day, only to be tu » sled by the nonsense of to- morrow.' Mention the canals, and he will immediately tell you, that 4 they are profitable enough to the proprietors, but a horrible burden to the public at large.' Notice even the smooth road upon which fhe wheels of his carriage trundle along, and he will growl, point to the turnpike- g- ate, and reply, 5 So they may, so they may indeed ; just look at that J* " The following extract from an article in the last number of the Quartern/ Review, on the Past and Present State of the Country, though in some respects, perhaps, rather too highly coloured, ex- hibits altogether so gratifying a picture of the vast improvement which has taken place in the condition of the labouring classes, that we are induced lo quote it:— 1 As long as the primaeval curse shall remain on the soil, labour must. be the forerunner of enjoy- ment; the land must be tilled, and its fruit's be brought forth by the sweat of the. biow of those who subsist upon its produce. There must be, in the most polished as well as in the rudest state of soci- ety, some whose lot it is to be hewers of wood and drawers of water;, who must be destined to such employments as require strength and industry, more than knowledge or talent. Knowledge and talent will, however, have a constant and necessary tendency to draw from the lowest classes of la- bourers some of their numbers, and raise them to a situation in . comfort and ease superior to that of their fellows. _ As these advance in property and increase in enjoyments, others in turn occupy their station, atrcl are a little elevated above their former equals ; this process continues. step by step, each rank advancing a little, and each consiantly draw- ing recruits from those but a slight remove below them. If we look, howeyer, to our own country, < H may mark, with a little restrnspection and due reflection, the gradual improvement in the condition even of the lowest of all the classes of which society is composed. Tbey have, partakenof'. those advan- tages which have been universally diffused, in an eminent degree. Increased cleanliness and. health, and consequently longevity^ are among the most characteristic blessing's of the present day — in all these the poor have shared perhaps in more than equal proportion with tlife rich. Their food has also gradually become of a better kind than formerly, 1 Without entering on the question of the healthiness of different, kinds of aliment, it is sufficient for our present purpose to shew that the food now used by the labouring ranks in this country, is of a move expensive description than could be afforded by them in past periods. Wheaten bread, which is now almost universally eaten, and even fastidiously selected by the labouring poor, has bee? gradually introduced with the gradual accumulation of the ge- neral wealth of the community. At the commence- ment of the reign of the late King, barley, rye, or oaten bread was liie universal food of the working population. As late as the year 1764, fhe quantity, of barley grown in England was equal to that of wheat; it is now not more than one- third of it, though. the proportion converted into malt h is been increased. Sir Frederick Morton Eden says, About 50 years ago so little was the quantity'of wheat used in the county of Cumberland, that it was only a rich famii v that used a peck of wheat in the course of the year, aud that was at Christinas.'* Not much more than fifty years ago, bar ley- bread was the universal food iii' the western counties, n - t merely of the labourers in husbandry, but of those small farmers, then more numerous than at the' present time^ who tilled with their own hands the scanty portions of land which they occupied. In the counties nearer to the metropolis the use of wheaten bread spread at art earlier period, and as wealth circulated from that tvu. rai point io the extremities, the use of it gradually extended. At present, we believe, even in Lancashire, in Wales, and Cornwall, the use of wheat has become almost universal. Tbe increased consumption of butchers'- meaf beyond the rate of the increase of population is a clear indication that the use of it must have de- scended lower in the ranks of society than formerly; It appeared, ifi 1793, from the first report of the Committee oft. be House of Commons, appointed to take into consideration the means of improving the waste lands of the kingdom, that the beasts sold in London were of the following average weights * — In 1732 .... Cuttle 8? 0lbs. « ... sheep 2slbs. In 1794 .... cattle 4021 bs. . .. sheep 35lbs. At the. present period, as far as can be collected from various sources of information, the averag weight of cattle is 800lbs. and of sheep 80 ; but the increase in the numbers annually slaughtered has been greater than the increase of weight. Ir. ap- pears that, whilst the population, from I7( i4 to 1824* has been augmented at. the rate of 78 per cent, the consumption of butchers'- meat has increased at the rate of one hundred and fifteen percent.; besides this^ there has been a Correspondent increase in the consumption of bacon and salt pork, butter aud cheese. The introduction and the general diffusion of tea and sugar, those admirable substitutes for fermented liquors, have assisted in improving the condition of the poor by supplying a beverage, the adoption of which has tended to diminish intoxica- tion, one of the chief causes of the indolence, waste- fulness, and rudeness j which Once disgraced the lower ranks of this Country. Whilst the numbers of our people have increased, the consumption of these wholesome articles has increased still more. That of both has been more than doubled, 111 a space of time in which the number of consumers has only increased one- half. The dwellings of the poor have been no less improved than their food. It is not necessary to go back to those early periods of our history when the great mass of the people lived in Wooden booths without glass windows or chimnies. We speak of a period within our own recollection. It is not many years ago that the cottages in the country had no flooring but that which nature furnished, and that a composition of lime and sand was beheld by the neighbours of him who enjoyed such, as a luxury to be envied. The. mud walls were rarely covered with any coat of plastering ;. jiiere was no ceiling under the straw roof, and when any cham- ber was in the house, it was accessible only by a ; ladder or by a post, with notches indented to receive the foot in climbing to it. Tbe doors and windows did not close sufficiently to exclude the wet or the snow, and in wet weather puddles were scattered over the inequalities in the mud floor. It is now rare iu the country to see a cottage wi thout a brick or stone or wood floor, without stairs to its chambers* with- out plastering on its walls, and without doors and windows tolerably weather- tight. The furniture and domestic utensils are increased and improved with the houses. The paucity and the homeliness, which appeared forty or fifty years ago present to the recollection of those who can remember the state of that day, a striking contrast with the com- parative abundance and convenience which are novr exhibited. Instead of straw beds, and a single rug for a covering, are substituted feather or flock bedsy several blankets, sheets, and often a cotton quilt. Chairs and tables occupy the place of benches and joint stools. Wooden trenchers have given way to • earthenware plated aud dishes, and to the iron pot is now commonly added the gridiron, frying- pan, and saucepans. The enumeration of these articles may seem trifling— but letXny one, who smiles at it, follow an English travellerVlirough less ad vanccd countries, he will find how true it is that these little things are great to little men. The clothing of our poor has advanced with the progress of their Other enjoyments. The linsey- woolsey garments which formerly set' 7ed as a har- bour for dirt, both to males and females, have been thrown aside, and their place occupied by others more . flexible and o'ener renewed. This may be the cause in part of the immense increase iu th © quantity of soap for which tbe duty is paid. Withim- the last" forty years it has gradually increased fr^ tjft - thirty- fiye to ninety- five million pounds FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. portfolio. NO. XXV1IX. BREEDING.

Oil'. there is a dream of early youth, And it never conies again ; ' Tis a vision of lighty of life, and truth, That Hits across the brain : And love is the theme of that early dream, So wild, so warm, so new, That in all our after years 1 deem, That early dreanr we rue. Oh ! there is a dream of mature!' years, More turbulent by far; ' Tis a vision of blood, and of woman's tears, For the theme of that dream is war : And we toil iu the field of danger and death, And shout in the battle array, Till we find that fame is a body less breath, That vauisheth away. Oh ! there is a dream of hoary age, ' Tis a vision of gold in store — Of sums noted down on the figur'd page, To be counted o'er aud o'er ; And we fondly trust in our glittering dust, As a refuge from grief and pain, Till our limbs are laid on that last dark bed, Where the wealth of the world is vain. And is it thus, from man's birth to his grave- In the path which all are treading ? Is there nought in that long career to save From rem rse and self- upbraiding ? O yes, there's a dream so pure, so bright, That the being to whom it is given, Hath bathed in a sea of living light— Aud the theme of that dream is Heaven. © onUmpcvarp ^ literature, No XI. ATLTS AND ARTISTS, or Anecdotes of the Schools, and of painters, Sculptors, Architects, frc. of all Ages, by JAMES EI. MES, M. R. I. A., & c: & c. 3 vols. il<. England al this time is the scene of the triumph of the elegant, as well as the useful ails. We either produce works equal lo those of the best Schools, or we possess the Master- pieces of every age in our Museums and Galleries. In conse- quence, an universal laste pervades the middling and opulent classes, and 110 department of Litera lure is more greedily consulted, than hooks which Ircat of the History of ihe Fine Arls. This prevailing sentiment Mr. EI. MES has con- sulted, in ibe elegant volumes under notice. He has assembled not merely the most interesting traits of Artists and their productions, but in truth has brought together all lhat is interesting on these transcendautly interesting subjects. Of every great Artist some, and often many, curious and amusing circumstances are recorded; and of many famous pictures and other productions, facts arc introduced which will be fell and valued by every lovfi' of art. The whole too is a delightful melange, in keeping w ith its subject, and the work in consequence one of the most agreeable ii) the language. As long as the Fine Arts are cherished, il will be read wilh satisfaction; and wherever there lives a patron, an amateur, or a professor, the book will sooner or later befooiKl. ' All its parts are in keeping— llins, besides Ihe lext, the Author has introduced Portraits of the most illustrious Artists, with autographs, resi- dences, aud reliques, calculated lo gratify every reader who is enamoured wilh the subject; and no class of men arc more warm and enthusiastic. In this respect, the book itself is a work id' art, and it will accordingly lie received and preserved as a treasure on these subjects. Imperial pMimmxi- HOUSE OF toil US— TOES DA Y. - The Marquis of L^ NSDOWNE presented a Petition from the Unitarian Diss.- tilers, praying for an inquiry into the state of the law in respect to them, in conse- quence of the dotrhl thrown out some time since, by the Lord Chancellor, whether they were not still amenable to the Common Law for denying flie Trinity, though the Statute Law against them had been repealed. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his coincidence with the wish of the petitioners, that the state of the law should he ascertained, and his disposition, in ease it should be found such as he conceived it to be, to puss an Act for their benefit. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. Mr. ABERCKOMBY presented a Petition from Sir E. Mac< » re'> or, on the subject of the Deecan Prize Money," in which the conduct of the Counsel and Prize A « ent was vindicated at the expense of that of the Trustees. Sir II. HARDINGE shewed in reply, that the Coun- sel and Agent Law Biil in that business amounted to upwards of £ 14,000, whilst the expenses of the Trustees, the bake of Wellington, and Mr. Arbulh- not, for two years, were within £ 150! Mr. PORTMAN called the attention of the House to the Returns of Labourers' Wages, as furnished to the House, and since printed: and circulated through the country. He could state, 011 his personal knowledge, that thev were most incorrect as related to Dorset- shire, where the usual rate of wages was described to be 6s. to7s. ; when they are fluctuating, in. fact, from 7s. lo 10s. 12s. and even to 15s. iu some eases. He cautioned the House and the Country not to give undue credit. to these Returns, which threw an unjust slur on the county lie represented ; and ou the agri- cultural, question it would be most prejudicial to the due consideration of the subject, if the House was suffered to be misled by such vague and inaccurate statements.— Mr. CANNING advised steps to be taU in the next Session to correct this error, and trusted, after the statement of the Member for- Dorsetshire, no undue credit would be given to these returns. HOUSE OF LORDS- WEDNESDAY, JULY 6. STAFFORD PEERAGE. The evidence of M rs. Macarthy, in support of her claim to this title, in opposition to Sir George Jer- ningbam, was further heard to- day. Mrs. Macarthy claimed to be descended from Anne, the daughter of the first Earl of Stafford, who, it was alleged, was married to the Hon. Henry Howard. By this mar- riage there was a daughter, who married a Mr. Raw- lins. The issue of this marriage was also a daughter, who married a person named Gordon ; and from her down Mrs, Macarthy would have little difficulty iti proving her descent. The difficulty lay in proving the marriages immediately succeeding the title being conferred," by reference to the registers. These marriages appeared in the registers of the parishes in which they were alleged to take place, but under such circumstances of suspicion as induced their Lordships to refer to the register of the Bishop of the dioeese, into which the parish entries oug- ht to be transcribed. On referring to thifi, it was found that none of the entries in the parish registers of these marriages were in the Bishop's register, though all the marriages of the- years preceding and subsequent to those in which it was alleged these marriages took place, were regularly transcribed. It was further observed that the handwriting of the entries of ihe above marriages in the parish register was in a di" fierent hand- writing from all the entries of the same. Ill confirmation of these suspicions, it ap- peared from Mbe- examination bf the Rector of the parish of St. Andrew, in Worcester, that a gentleman named Macarthy called upon hiib about two years kgo, to examine his register, aud that he allowed Prorogation of Parliament. On Wednesday, both Houses of Parliament were prorogued by Commission. The Commissioners having taken their seats, a message was sent to require tive presence of the Commons ; and the Speaker shortly after appearing, attended by a con siderable number of Members, ihe Lord Chancellor read ih. e follow ing Speech : — " My Lords, and Gentlemen, u The business of the Session being now brought to a conclusion, we are commanded by his Majesty to express the great satisfaction which he feels in releasing you from your laborious attendance Parliament. 44 His Majesty returns you his warmest acknow- ledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which you have prosecuted the inquiries into the state of Ire land, which he recommended to you at the opening of the Session. " It is a particular gratification to his Majesty, that the tranquillity. and improved condition of that part of the United Kingdom, have rendered the extraor- dinary powers with which yon had invested hi Majesty no longer necessary for_ the public safety. tl His Majesty is happy to he able to announce li you, , that he receives from all Foreign Powers tin strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country; aud of their desire to main tain the general peace. 44 Wbile his Majesty regrets the continuance of the War iu the East Indies with the Burmese G vern. Rre. nt, he trusts that the gallant exertions of the British and Native Forces employed in operations in the Enemy's territory, may lead to a speedy and satisfactory termination of tbe contest. " Geritlemen of the House of Commons, 44 We have it in Command from his Majesty to thank yon for the supplies which you have granted to him for the service of the present year ; and at the same time to express the - satisfaction which he de- rives from the red notion you have found it practica- ble to make in the burdens of his people. ' 44 My Lordsrand Gentlemen, 44 His Majesty has commanded us to assure you that he is highly sensible of the advantages which must result from' the measures yon have adopted, in the course of this Session, for extending the com me tee of his subjects, by the removal of unnecessary and inconvenient restrictions, and from the beneficial relaxations which you have deemed it expedient to introduce into the Colonial system of this country. 44 These measures, his Majesty is persuaded, will evince to his subjects in those distant possessions the solicitude wilh which Parliament watches overt' welfare. They tend to cement and consolidate th interests of the Colonies with those of the Mother Country; and his Majesty confidently trusts that they will contribute to promote that general arid increasing prosperity, on which his Majesty had the happiness of congratulating you on the opening \> f this Session, aud which, by the blessing of Provi- dence, continues to pervade every part of this • Kingdom," Parliament was then prorogued to Thursday, the 25th of August next. --^ ssmsswa*^ DECCAN PRIZE MONEY.— This subject hav g been, recently brought before Parliament, by petitions complaining of Delay in the Distribution, il may interest some of our readers to know the real facts of the case, which are as follow:— The Pindarees, a horde of freebooters, under the protection of the Mahratta Chiefs, Holkar and Sein- dia, had made irruptions into our East India terri lories. To these they were no doubt incited by Holkar and Scindia, who, as well as other Mahratta Chiefs, had secretly formed a conspiracy to expel the English from India. A grand military plan was, therefore, formed by the Marquis of Hastings, in 1817, for the purpose not only of annihilating the Pindarrees, but of putting down all hostile confe deracy throughout India. This plan consisted of two parts. The Marquis of Hastings, with the Ben- gal annv, advanced to the Siud, which river he reached on the 6th of November, 1817, while the army of the Deccari ( or South), commanded by Sir T, Hislop, advanced to the Nerbudda, which river was crossed on the 14th of the same month by Sir, I. Malcolm, second in Command. Scindia was easily compelled to sign a treaty, renouncing the Pindar, rees, and these freebooters, alarmed and indignant at this conduct, fled to Holkar, who being also unable' to protect them, they either dispersed or threw them selves ou the mercy of their conquerors. Thus, tin first object of the war was completed withoutprodue- ing any particular result in the way of booty. But it was not so with the second object. Scindia had at once subscribed to the terms required of him. Simi- lar terms were offered to Holkar, but refused, and the battle. of Mabeidpoor was the consequence, which forced him lo make a treaty placing him in a state of dependence on the British power. Some inferior Chiefs, however, still continued in arms, while others voluntarily placed themselves under the Bri- tish protection. The Peishwaoftbe Mahrattas, who had been for years carrying on secret riegociations against us, was induced, in June, 1817, to sign a treaty renouncing communication with the other native powers. This treaty lie had no sootier signed than he resolved to violate it. Ou the 5th of Novem her, 1817, he broke out into open hostilities. The Rajah of Nagpore pursued a similar conduct, and in the beginning of December of that year it was found necessary to proceed to extremities against hi The operations against these two Sovereigns, as well as those against Holkar, produced - lie capture of much valuable property, which forms the booty in question. Although this property was, in point of fact, taken in 1818, or 1819 at the latest, yet it could not soon be collected into one mass, or brought to a common account. False notions were entertained of what was booty. Some persons thought that publi buildings were to be valued, and that debts owing long* before by the native Princes were to be exacted, for the benefit of the captors. Time was required to ^ et over these difficulties; and then arose a great, question whether the property which inig- ht fairly be deemed booty was to be divided among all the British forces in the field, or only among the army of Deccan. This point was solemnly argued in 1823, and was at length decided in favour of the latter army. Thus far the Duke of Wellington had nothing' to do with the case; but when it was decided that th rmy of the Deccan should alone share the booty, it came next to be considered that among the individu als of that army there might be a great variety of conflicting claims, and that some trustees ought to be appointed, with power to determine all questions of this nature which might arise. On the part of the Deccan army, Sir Thomas Hislop and Sir John Malcolm applied to the Duke of Wellington to take on himself that gratuitous and laborious charge. His Grace declared that his personal wish was to avoid the burthen, but that he would sacrifice every consideration of that kind to be of use to an army to whose bravery he was so much indebted. Accord- iogly, in 1823, the Duke and Mr. Arbiithnot under- took this office. Many questions still arose. The object of the Trustees was to put an end to them as speedily as possible ; and, in point of fact, they were drawing to an end, when the complaint of delay was brought forward in Parliament. Not a day nor an hour had the trustees loitered; and it is a positive fact, that his Grace, with his own hand, had written above 1100 folio pages on the various claims.— This statement, plain and simple as it is, will suffice to shew that the charge of delaying the distribution of the property can in no degree attach to the Duke of Wellington, whose voluntary services have on the contrary been must beneficial to the Army of the Deccan. THE CATHOLIC QUESTION. The following are the concluding remarks of a long but extremely well- written article on this subject, published in Blackwood's Magazine for the present month:—•' ' Wc direct the altention of every friend of ihe Church of England to the treatment which our admirable clergy have met with during the discus- sions [ in Parliament], to Ihe manner in which their petitions have heen received, and to the base insfnua- alious which have been made against ( heir motives. One Whig lord was represented to say, that if the Bishops did not regulate the clergy properly, Ihe Lords would take the Church under their guidance. We wish that this simple individual would not utter such absurdities without making himself a little better acquainted wilh the laws and constitution of his country. We will assure him that the Church of England is nol so far destitute of friends as lo be at Ihe mercy of either House of Parliament. Another Peer uttered a low, brutal, second- hand observation, that a clergyman ought to have his ears nailed to Ihe pulpit, if be touched in it upon politics. We shrewdly suspect, that when the season shall arrive for nailing the ears of clergymen, it will likewise he the season for slitting the windpipes of nobles. Now, let all this be contrasted wilh the treatment which has heen received bv ihe Catholic clergy. These were avowedly the collectors of the Catholic rent; it was distinctly declared in Parliament that In v compelled the people lo pay ihe rent by willi- dirg from tlieui the riles of their Church : . many of ihem were u embers of the Catholic Association, and attended its meetings; and il has been again and „ ain declared, that they are omnipotent at elections against the landlords, and that they monopolise Ihe exercise of the elective franchise among their fol- lowers. Vet not a word was to he said against all ibis. The Catholic clergy could not do w rong, they could not interfere improperly iu politics: Sir Francis Burdett had declared them to be in fallible, and who was to doubt it? • Irish Catholics, it seems, mean to banish all the Methodists and other Dissenting; Preachers, and to extinguish all the Protestant fiible and Other Religious Societies. We hope, from our souls, that lie Clergy and Dissenting Ministers who so glori- ously fought, the battles of the Bible in the last year ill not he intimidated. Let them again hold their meetings— let them goad the Catholic Church into the exercise of its• tyranny, and - the display of its rancour and intolerance. 44 The Catholic Bill, it appears, is to be again brought forward in the next Session of Parliament. Let it he so. Let the country be agitated by the question until the next election, and then another House of Commons will give the Catholics leisure for reforinirig their conduct, and abolishing the detestable penal code of their Church. In the mean- time, let every Protestant, no matter what his deno- mination may be, stand upon his arms in readiness to defend his religion. This ground will support him. If it be necessary for the Church of England to be under the regulation of the general government, it is alike necessary for the Catholic Church of Ire. land to be so. If it be necessary that the Established Clergy should be restricted from forming pernicious laws, from tyrannizing over the people, from inter- meddling with polities, and from engrossing the political influence of the country, it is equally neces- sary that the Catholic Clergy of Ireland should be thus restricted. If it he necessary that tbfvP^ irtestant layman should have liberty to read the Scriptures, and to enter any place of worship that he think fi:, it is alike necessary that the Catholic layman should have the same liberty. Let us be firm. The cry of Down with the Heretics ! has already been heard among us ; let us take care that it be not repeated. Temperate and determined resistance will accom plisli all that we desire. It may not diminish the numbers of the Catholics, but it may reform Catho- licism. . It may root up ihe tyranny of the Catholic Church, which is alike a disgrace and a curse to the nation. It may destroy the tremendous authority and influence that the Catholic priests possess over the people in temporal matters, which are , perfectly inconsistent with our whole system, and which could not be possessed by any body of men whatever without placing in peril tlie British constitution, British liberty, and the weal of the British empire." OH SABBATH BREAKING-. [ From the Sheffield Iris.] No compulsion can make people either religious or moral; but there may be found authority, and it will be resolutely exercised, to check the gross and glaring outrages both of religion and morality, practised every Sabbath in the streets, the lanes, and tlie fields about us, by vagabonds and idlers of all ages. If Sunday be not constituted the best day of the week, it almost necessarily becomes the worst. From the platform of the gallows thou- sands of bitter but voluntary confessions have been made, lhat early, abuse of the Sabbath contributed mainly to bring the sufferers thither; and, of all their days mis- spent on earth, lost spirits through eternity will oftenest remember, and most deeply lament the desecrated Sabbaths, ou which their evil deeds, more than the sins of all their time beside that was less at their command, hurried them on to that 44 place of torment," and sunk them lower in it. Sunday, in countries called Christian is either the Lord's Day or Satan's ; and it well behoves every one of us, whether formal regarders or open despisers, to inquire whom we will ehnse to serve upon it. The following are extracted from the several Acts of Parliament relating to Sabbath breakers : — TRADESMEN, ARTIFICERS, AND LABOURERS IN GENERAL.— Tradesmen, artificers, labourers, or other persons, doing or exercising any worldly labour, business, or work of their ordinary calling^ on the LORD'S DAY; or any person who shall sell, show forth, or expose any wares, fruits, herbs, or goods of any kind, for sale, on Sunday, will be severally liable to the penalty of five shillings, and the for- feiture of the goods so exposed to sale, on conviction before a justice of the pence, who'may order the penalties and forfeitures to be levied by distress, and may allow one- third to the informer.— Stat. 29 Car. 1'. c. 7. BARBERS — Under the above enactment, any Bar- ber, who shall keep his shop open for shaving or dressing hair, on the LORD'S DAY, will be liable to the penalty of 5s. BUTCHERS.— Butchers selling meat on the LORD'S DAY, are liable to the penalty of 6s. for each offence.— Stat. 3 Car. I. e. 1. PORTERS, CARRIERS, WAGGONERS, CARTERS, AND DROVF. RS OF CATTLE.— Porters, higglers, carriers, waggoners, carters, or drovers of cattle, or any of their servants, who shall exercise their callings on the LORD'S DAY, are liable to the penalty of twenty shillings for each offence.— Stat. 3 Car.

Ilis MAJESTY'S BALL.— The ball, which it had been for some days announced to be the in- tention of His Majesty to give, took placve on Monday night, at JSt, James's Palace; undone more splendid lias never, perhaps, been \ vitness'e&. Tlie new apartments in this palace arc peculiarly well adapted to give effect to a scene of this descrip- tion. At ten o'clock the Nobility and others A\\ but invited to the Palace began those of the . Royal Family were clriyen in at the new entrance near Marlborough House. The Royal " Family..- alone entered at the gate exactly opposite to St. James's- street. The members of the Royal Family present were— the Duke of York, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Kent, tbe Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, and Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg. The company, on their arrival, were introduced to the Presence- chamber, which was on this occasion the promenade'room. About 12 o'clock dancing commenced in ibe ante room where an orchestra was fitted up. Tlie supper, which was a standing one, was laid out in the splendid banqueting. room, and His Majesty's superb service of gold plate was produced on the occasion.— Among the company present were— The Dukes of Northumberland, Wellington, Mon- trose, and Rutland; the Duchesses of North berland, Wellington, Montrose, and Dowager Rutland ; | V1 arqpisses of Cholmpndeley, Graham, and Chpndos; Marchionesses of Stafford and Chol- mondeley ; Earls of Liverpool, Shaftesbury, and Talbot; Countess of Liverpool; Viscounts Bel- grave and Olive; Lords Gwydyr and J. Thymic; Ladies Forester, J. Thy one, and H. VV. VV. Wynn; Right Hon. R. Peel, C. W. VV. Wynn, and G Canning; Sirs T. Stanley and W. Congreve; Messrs. S Wortley and Clive ; Mrs. VVynu and two Misses Wynn; Duchess of Rutland ; Marchioness ofChandos; Earl and Countess of Denbigh; Mr. Fores ter ; & c, & c. THE REVENUE.— It is gratifying to be able to state that the Revenue for the Quarter which ended on Tuesday, the 5th inst. presents the same character of increase and prosperity as the last ; and that, extensive as have been the reductions made in Taxes and Duties, they are moie than covered by the augmentation in the produce of those which hare been left. In fact, the whole state of the public Revenue announces an un- interrupted progress in prosperity, which bears a character of constancy and solidity most cheering to the country and most honourable to those by whose wise policy it has been attained.— The Revenue of the Quarter ending the 5th exceeds that Of the Corresponding Quarter of last year by the sum of £ 504,041. Wc are assured, on very good authority, that there are companies, the shares in which are on daily sale in the Stock Exchange, to which not one- fourth part of the capital has been subscribed, or the deposit paid up at the banker's; lhat the re- maining shares are held nominally by individuals denominating themselves projectors, contractors, trustees, directors, and auditors, who are unable to make any deposits upon them unless they first succeed in inducing the public to purchase them at a premium.- Some of them who hold 3000, 4000, or 5000 shares, calculating that the premium is already their own, have set up handsome equipages, and embarked in a splendid style of living, proportionate to the fortunes of which they believe themselves possessed. There are even well- authenticated cases wherein the money raised on the shares subscribed for by the public, has been employed in the market by the directors to raise their value, so that no balance whatever has been left in the hands of the bankers to carry on the business of the company. Letters from Constantinople, dated May 28, mention the death of another child of the Sultan by small pox, making the third which he has lost by this disease within a short period, ft seems, however, that he does not allow these domestic calamities to interfere with public business, and that he is indefatigable in preparations for rein forcing his armies iu Greece. The obstinacy with which he maintains the contest surprises all the Europeans at Constantinople, but is quite con- sistent with his general character, as he is always • regardless of loss, either of men or treasure, so that he accomplishes his objects. On the 24th of May the Sultan caused it to be announced that his troops had taken possession of Fort Ligor, before Anatolico, and that more than 20,000 men wer marching upon Missolonghi. Of these, however, ill, 000 are acknowledged to be Albanians, upon whom the Porte places but little reliance, as they serve the Turks only for the purpose of securing their own possessions, and would, with the first opportunity, turn upon their present allies. A meeting was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Saturday 5 the Duke of Sussex in the . chair; when it was resolved— 44 That a Society be now formed for promoting Education and Industry in Canada. The object of which shall be to train up Teachers, and assist in the establishment of Schools of Education and Industry among the Indians and Settlers in such parts of the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, as are destitute of the means of instruction." In the Court of Common Pleas, Thursday, Capt. Best recovered from Mr. Osborne, horse- dealer, £ 80, being the value of a colt, which had been sold to him by the defendant, under a warranty, but which had subsequently proved to be unsound, and £ 58. 9s. for the keep since last July. The horse had had the nerve of his leg divided, in order to diminish the irritation he felt from a disease in the leg. Mr, Field, jun. and Mr Sevvell, stated that a horse might perform his work for many years after his nerve had been divided; but lhat when that took place, he was no longer sound. We are assured that there is no truth in the report given in a Brussels Paper, that M. rs. Becker ( late Miss O'Neill) was in Paris, deprived of sight, and about to undergo an operation for cataract. We are informed that Mrs. Becher is at this moment in Ireland, and that her sight has never been impaired. PROFITS OF LECTURERS.— It is stated in a medical periodical work, that a Lecturer on Anatomy, who has a class of 250 pupils, receives 2,500 guineas annually for delivering a lecture, which occupies one hour daily, for half a year, the expense of which to him, for dead bodies, & c. does not exceed £ 30. For the dissecting room he also receives six guineas for the season from each pupil, about 150, making 900 guineas. He receives five guineas for two courses of surgical lectures, about 150 pupils, making 750 guineas. His share of the receipts from pupils for attending the hospitals is £ 1,500, making, in the whole, not quite £ 6,000 per annum. In Paris, a lecturer thinks himself well paid with £ 50. A Charleston paper of May 25, says—" The consequences of the acknowledgment of the inde- pendence of South America are already apparent — ten thousand persons from Upper Hesse aloue are preparing for emigration." An opposition coach has lately been started from Gloucester to run through the forest of Dean to Coleford; and as a ruse de guerre, the pro- prietor at Rhuarclean has purchased of Meredith, the miller, the mare stolen by Probert, which proves a source of great attraction, as numbers, from curiosity, prefer going by that conveyance merely to be drawn by the animal for stealing which Probert suffered the awful penalty of the law. CRUELTY TO AN ASS.— A horse- breaker at Chester was, a few days since, convicted of grossly abusing an ass, and was fined in tbe mitigated penalty of 10s. and 4s. costs, for his cruelly to the poor animal.— This may serve as a caution to many, who treat the ass as if he were divested by Nature of all sense of injury, and not entitled to common humanity.— The full penalty is £ 5. The late Rev. O. Manning was twice laid out for interment, and afterwards revived. In the second instance a poor old woman watching^ heard a slight noise, and to her horror and astonishment saw ihe head of the supposed corpse raised and looking at her, she immediately rushed down stairs in her fright, fell, and broke her leg, and a mortification ensuing, died in a few days. The will of the late Right Hon. Charles Earl Whitwortb, was proved in the Prerogative Court, Doctor's Commons, on the 3.0th ult/ by the Most Noble Arabella Diana, Duchess Dowager of Dorset, the relict, the sole executrix. Her Grace is the universal legatee. The personals were sworn under £ 70,000. It is dated the 20lh Dec. 1815. LADY HOLLAND'S WILL.— The will of the late Dame Harriet Holland, of Cranbury, Hants, and of Piccadilly. terrace, Middlesex, relict of Sir iS'albaniel Holland, was registered in the Preroga- tive Court on the 12th nit. Probate, under the sum of five hundred thousand pounds, was granted to the Right Hon. the Earl of Cardigan, the nephew, the sole executor. The will, dated the 12th March, 1818, and most of the codicils ( of which there are nine), are in her Ladyship's own hand writing, and duly executed. The legacies are considerable; amongst the principal are— Til her sister, the Dowager Countess of Liverpool, £ 50,000; the Hon. Miss Brudenell, £ 50,000 nephew and niece Bishopp, £ 30,000 each ; Lady Charlotte Rivers, £ 60,000, the interest for life, and principal to her children; the Rev. Sir Henry Rivers, £ 10,000; the Rev. Thomas Pcnton, Vicar of Weilon, £ 10,000. These sums are all in Stock of 3 per cent. Consols. To the Duchess of Dorset ( niece), her best diamond necklace and crossj ear- rings, tiaia, and bandeau ; to Lady Rivers all the rest of her diamonds and trinkets. The Earl of Cardigan is residuary legatee of the personal, and sole devisee of the real estates. In our journal of June 21, we noticed a dreadful accident which happened at Linton, on the Satur- day preceding, to Mr. Orford, of Maidstone, by the falling of part of a new house, by which he ( Mr. O.) was precipitated to the ground amidst the surrounding fragments of brick and stone- work, when he was so inuclji injured in his wrists and fingers, as to be rendered incapable of continuing his employment. He remained in this situation until Tuesday last, suffering considerably from pain, and unable to bend his fingers ; the skin of his wrists also being tense and hard. The Galvanic Tractors were applied in the usual manner, and in less than an hour and a half, we bad the happiness to see him open and shut each hand, and move his fingers with perfect ease in every direction, ex pressing the utmost astonishment; and gratitude, declaring that if a thousand guineas had been offered him to do so, before the Tractors were applied, he could not have accomplished it. The pain also, from which he had had no cessation since the accident, was entirely removed, and has not since returned.— Maidstone Journal. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.— A destructive fire broke out at one o'clock on Tuesday morning, in the spa cious premises of Mr. Purdue, a silversmith and salesman, in Great Tothill street, Westminster. I was first discovered by the watchman, who, on call ing the hour of one, observed smoke issuing from the shop through the joints of tbe shutters. The alarm was givpn, and tbe neighbours were all aroused. The family of Mr. Purdue consisted of himself. Miss Purdue, and two domestics; the former slept in the back parlour adjoining the shop, nnd- Miss PifrdOe and the servants slept on the second floor. The jflames raged with such an alarming ascendancy thai all attempts of Miss Purdue and the domestics ti effect an escape down stairs proved fruitless, and they were observed at the windows wringing their hands in the deepest despair, and tbe flames burning under them, nnd making a fast progress into the room in which they were standing. The multitude failed to them to make for the roof of the house, as it was impracticable to place a ladder against the window, from the impetuosity of the flames. In this state of things, Miss Purdue got out on the parapet, followed by the servants, and they were safely shel- tered in the adjoining* house of Mr. Corker! The next moment Mr. Purdue's house, from top to bottom, was in flames. The Globe engine now arrived, and stationed itself near Dartmouth- street, and was speedily put into play. Almost immediately after, the Guardian, Alliance, and other engines arrived, and lenl their aid; yet, notwithstanding, the fire continued to increase. The house of Mr Watmore next caught fire, ns also did the premises of Mr. Wait, feather- maker, in Dartmouth- street, and Messrs. Hazells, the grocers, at the corner, The whole five houses were now raging witlf indescrib- able foree, and were fast spreading to others in every direction. All the engines, twenty in number, were playing at once on the burning pile, and, after some considerable time, they succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames. The following houses are included in the wreck, or partially injured :— Mr. Purdue's, Mr. Corker's, Mr. Watmore's, Mr. Waits', Messrs. Hazells', the green- grocer's higher up, and the pastry- cook's. The o « ly person insured, we un- derstand, is Mr. Purdue. Tothill- stre^ t was rendered impassable by the furniture and other property that was placed in the carriage- road, and the loss sus- tained is estimated at £ 10,000. An accident of a melancholy natiwc took place at A u Id bar, on Monday, tiie 30th ult. The gamekeeper? s wife went Cut of her house for the purpose of gathering some fuel, leaving behind her two fine young children, one of them about the age of six weeks, fast asleep in the cradle. In he absence, the other child, which'had been amusing itself about the house, became tired, and laid itself down in the cradle with its head upon the mouth of its little relative. Upon her return, the mother found her youngest child quite dead, and the other fast asleep.— Aberdeen Chronicle. On Saturday last, a man, accompanied by a woman and three children, applied to Mr. New- man, one of the constables of this parish, and sop plicated his assistance to procure a pass for Scot- land. The ragged and wretched appearance of this family excited a sympathy on the part of the Ofijcer, who, however, shortly discovered, in the language of the man, that of an Irishman ; and it was deemed proper that he should stand committed a few days, when he would be passed to his native country. On bearing this, the whole family set up a lamentation, and begged a pass for London only. The order, notwithstanding their entreaties, was made out for their being confined, and the wretched appearance of the group, would have suggested the idea that a good meal had been welcome, even within the walls of a prison ; but this was not the. object of the impostors, as will be found in the sequel. On their way to prison, the woman particular, was much interested as to the fate of her daughter, who she had previously said was a cripple, and as she could not walk, had been forwarded in a waggon ;— what would become of her? Oil- reaching the prison door, she lay down and entreated that her daughter might be sent for; she was not in a waggon, she said, but would be found sitting by the side of the road, at the London entrance of the town. The constable having pro mised to bring back her daughter, the family entered the prison. On proceeding to the part of the town described, a girl was discovered, at the time in the act of making a neiv shirt. She had with her a very large bundle. Having procured a female, the little urchin was searched ; upon her person only was found. The bundle being opened, presented a wardrobe of excellent caps and good clothes of almost every description, washed and neatly done up, in which, no doubt, the family frequently appeared as very different character order to evade pursuit. But this is not all, in the parcel a bag was also found, which contained two pounds thirteen shillings arid six- j) ertce.-— Essex Journal. The Chinese youth who accompanied Doctor Morrison to England, has, in consequence of an affection of the lungs, returned to the warmer climate of his own country. He thus writes from on board ship in the Downs to Dr. M.:— 14 I pray God, tbe Most High Rider, to protect you, Sir and grant you repose and peace. May you be successful in teaching your present scholars the Chinese language; anel when they have acquired if may they go forth and teach all the Chinese nations, the doctrine of the meritorious labours of Jesus, the Saviour of the world !" He took with him copy of the New Testament to use on the voyage. Tom Sheridan was saying, that if he had got into Parliament, be would not stand upon prin ciple, as his father had done, to the ruin of his fortunes, but would stick a bill on hi § forehead with the inscription " To BE. LET,"— 44 That very well of you," rejoined the father, but you might as well be explicit at once, Tom, and say 44 To be let UNFURNISHED." The amount of the duties taken off wine, to returned to the holders, is £ 1,000,000. ADVANCED ACB.-^ Died, at Montreal, on tbe 19th of May, Charles Lusiniani, Esq. aged 160 years and 7 months. He was born at Florence in October, 17 18. He married when 70, and had six: " hildren. A short time since a poor Spanish exile was on his way to the metropolis, when he knocked at the door of a gentleman who resides on tbe London- oad, aud who had formerly served in the Horse Artillery— upon its being opened by the owner, be immediately recognised in the care- worn counte- nance of the poor foreigner a gentleman of Coruuna, at whose house be, with other officers, had been quartered, upon ihe disastrous retreat of Sir John Moore. He was then a respectable wine merchant' and in addition to kind treatment, our countryman and his companions owed to him their escape from the French— for having ventured ashore after their corps embarked, they had a very narrow escape, through. the activity of the guide— the exile who stood before him. After the recognition, the gentleman invited him in, and by a good dinuer and pecuniary aid, relieved for a time this uufor- tunate victim to tyranny.— Kent Herald. WANTAGE, JULY 1.— Died, on Saturday last, Mr. John Walker, of Slanlake, Oxon, aged about 77. He was a most eccentric character, und so fond of the glittering dust, that he was called a second Elwes. A person giving his character to our correspondent, very pioperly observed, 44 I don't like to rout up old grievances. He had some good qualities, among which may be. numbered, that he always paid his labourers what he bargained for ; and what lie gave away he never asked for again ; but he h? d comical ways." He was at our fair on the Monday previous lo his death, where he bought a horse ; but such was bis penurious disposition, that he cheated the toll man of the toll, by saying, he could not sell him— meaning the horse he had bought. Me tried to escape our gate, by pressing the same tale, but could not succeed, although he did better at the Kingstone Gate, where he passed through without paying. On iiis death- bed, he observed to the person who sat up with him, 44 1 suppose 1 shall die* but re- member, you owe me for a hundred of hay." Re has left property, it is supposed, to the amount of £ 20,0o0 — Berkshire Chronicle. ACSENCE OF MIND — The cffect of abscnce of mind is well exemplified iu an incident which happened some time since to a well known Gentle- man of Magdalen College, Cambridge. He had taken his watch from lvis pocket to mark the lime he intended to boil an egg for his breakfast, when a friend, entering his room, found him absorbed in some abstruse calculation, with the egg in his hand, upon which he was looking intently, and the watch supplying its place in the saucepan of boiling water. DEFENCE OF EATING— If we are really to ; defend the necessity of eating in this world, WE ought to proceed logically and categorically. In the first place it is an eating world, and seems tu have been made on purpose for eating and being eaten; and really the greater part of the animal creation seem to have nothing else to do. Man, indeed, writes books; but even the end of these is that he may cat, or, rather, that bis publisher aud bookseller may. Il is moreover true, that every animal eats as much as it can procure, and as much as it can hold. A cow eats but to sleep, and sleeps but to cat ; and not content with eating II dav long, 44 twice it slays the slain," and eats dinners o'er again. A whale swallows ten millions of living shrimps at a draught ; a nursling canary bird eats its own bulk in a day, and a terpillar cats five hundred times its weight before it lies down to rise a butterfly. The mite and the maggot eat the very world in which they live; and the hyaena, for want of better food, cats himself. Yet the maggot has not the gout, and the whale is not subject to the sciatica. Nor does Capt Lyon " nform us that an Esquimaux is troubled with Ihe tooth- ache, dyspepsia, or hysterics, though he cats ten pounds of seal, and drinks a gallon of oil al a meal. A short time since five carp, weighing nearly four pounds each, were found dead, floating npon he surface of a pond, at Hailsham, belonging to Mr. Gooeb, brewer, and upon taking them from the water, a large marsh frog was found attached to the head of each fish, with its hinder claws firmly fixed in either eye A person, to satisfy himself hat the carp had been attacked while yet alive, by the frogs, took his station near the margin of the pond,. and presently observed a fine fish rise to the surface, when a frog instantly darted at it, and fixed itself as above described. HEDGEHOGS.— The following, related by Pio- fessor Brukland, is given in a paper on tbe habit*' of animals, bv Mr. Broderip, iu the 44 Zoological Journal," No. 5:— 44 Having occasion to suspect hat hedgehogs occasionally preyed on snakes, ibe Professor procured a common snake ( coluber nQlrirJ, and also a hedgehog, who had lived in an undomesticated state some time in the Botanic Garden at Oxford, where il was not likely to have seen snakes, and put the animals together in a box. The hedgehog was rolled up al their first meeting, and the snake was in continual motion, creeping round the box as if in order to make its escape.' Whether or not it recognized its enemy was not apparent— it did nol dart from the hedgehog:, but kept creeping gently round the box. The hedge- hog remained rolled up, and did not appear to see he snake. The Professor then laid the hedgehog on the body of the. snake, with that part of the ball where the head and tail meet downwards, and touching it. The snake proceeded to crawl, the hedgehog started, opened slightly, and seeing what was under it, gave the snake a hard bite, and instantly rolled itself up again. It soon opened a second time, repeated the bite, then closed as if for defence. Opened carefully a third time, and then inflicted a third bite, by which the back of the snake was broken. This done, the hedgehog stood > v the snake's side, and passed the whole body of the snake successively ' through its jaws, cracking it and breaking the bones at intervals of half an inch or more, by which operation the snake was rendered entirely motionless. The hedgehog then placed itself at the tip of the snake's tail, and began to cat upwards, as one wOnld eat a radish, without intermission, hut slowly, till half the snake was devoured, when the hedgehog ceased from mere repletion. During the following night, tbe anterior half of the snake was completely en ten up.'* A fine specimen of the sphinx atropos, or death's- head moth, was recently taken near Ed- mond Castle, the seat of Thomas H, Graham, Esq. This is unquestionably the largest, ami most re- markable of the European moths; it is rarely found iu England, and has not been observed be- fore in Cumberland, The expansion of its wings is five inches; the upper pair being brown with white and rust coloured spots, and the lower pair yellow, with two dark brown brutls. The body is bright orange, with black belts, and a broad lead- coloured stripe along the top. On the thorax is a singular yellowish grey mark, which resembles the- common figure of a skull or death's head. This insect, when alarmed or hurt, utters plaintive sounds, which are the more surprising, as it is the only one of its tribe that is endowed with the powers of voice. These peculiarities have made it an object of dread to the vulgar in several parts, of Europe, who suppose that its appearance is the forerunner of death.
