TETAVING been furnished with all the trial Levels and general Surveys which had been taken over various Districts of the Country, through which a Canal could be carried, between the Peak Forest Canal, at Marple, and the summit of the Grand Trunk Canal, at the North end of Harecastle Tunnel— and being ac- companied by Mr. BROWNE, who is thoroughly acquainted with all the various localities— and having carefully con- sidered the several circumstances connected with the in- tended improvement, I beg leave to state as a general preliminary Report— 1st. That I decidedly prefer proceeding from the sum- mit Level ofthe Peak Forest Canal, immediately above the first Lock, at Marple, and continuing that Level past the Town of Macclesfield, and to the North- east side of the Dane Valley, in the Township of Bosley, anil there descend by means of Locks, to the summit Level of the Grantl Trunk Canal, about half a mile below Linford Bridge. Thus far the Line will pass along comparatively favour- able ground ; it will avoid Gcntlemens' Seats and Parks, accommodate a Country ftill of Coal, and pass in the im- mediate vicinity of the Town of Macclesfield. 2nd. From the bottom of the before- mentioned Locks the I .- hie will proceed to, and cross the Dane- in shaw Valley, a little way below Messrs. Hall and Johnson's Silk Mills, and thence it will pass about half a mile S. E. of the Town of'Congleton, and afterwards pass Ramsdill Hall, and Scholar Green, to the summit Level of the Grand Trunk Canal, at the North end of Harecastle Tunnel. 3rd. By this distribution, the whole of the Canal is ar- ranged into two Levels only, that is, an extension from the Peak Forest Summit of about 19 miles, and from the Grand Trunk about 12 miles, and these two Levels may be so conductcd, partly by occasional deep Cuttings, and partly by short Tunnels, as to be rendered quite unob- jectionable in regard to' the few Dwellings and Parks, near to which the Line will pass. 4th. The Line 1 have here described passing, for the whole of its length, along Ihe skirts of a mountainous Country, the means of obtaining supplies of Water are abundant, and need only lo be limited by the Expense which Reservoirs, to contain flood water, will cost. I have examined five situations in which Reservoirs might be constructed, and which so far from interfering with any existing Establishments, would tend to regulate the violent Mountain Torrents, which are al present so fre- quently mischievous. Sth. With regard to tbe Expense which the Naviga- tion, here referred to, would cost, I cannot presume to determine, until the Surveys, I have direeted to be made, and which are now in hand, are completed, and correct Calculations made therefrom; when these have been accomplished, the Committee shall immediately be furnished with a more detailed Report, and also an Esti- mate ot the Expense. TO LINEN DRAPERS. TO BE DISPOSED OF IMMEDIATELY, AVALUABLE OLD- ESTABLISHED DRAPERY BUSINESS, most eligibly situated in Warrington, being at the Market Gate, in the Centre of the Town, and Fronting the principal Streets. The Stock, ( already materially reduced) together with the Fixtures, will be Disposed of, subject to valuation. This Establishment presents a desirable prospect to those wishful to embark in the Linen Drapery Line— The House and Shop, wilh every Convenience attached to them, are in Complete repair, and the Purchaser ( if required) may haVe immediate possession ofthe whole. The Stock - being New aud Small, renders the offer more advantageous, as any one of Minor Capital may commence the Business without incurring additional expence. Mr. PETER GLEAVE, '( who is declining this branch of Trade) will attend to any application made to him on the Premises. Warrington, lit Aiigm/ t, 1825. COTTON AND SILK MILLS.

FREEHOLD ESTATE, Situate in LEEK FRITH, in the Parish of Leek. TO BE SOLITBY AUCTION, BY MR. KEATES, At the House of Mr. Thomas Iline, known by the Sign ofthe Three Horse Shoes, in Meerbrook, in the Parish of Leek aforesaid, on TUESDAY, the Twenty- third Day of AUGUST next, at Six o'Clock in the Evening preciselv, subject to Conditions ; AVERY desirable FREEHOLD ESTATE, called GREEN HOUSE, situate in the Township of Leek Frith, in the Parish of Leek, in the County of Stafford ; consisting of an excellent FARM HOUSE, with all neces- sary OUTBUILDINGS, nnd tbe undermentioned Pieces of Arable, Meadow and Pasture LAND, containing in the whole 29A.

LTJFO GOULD, of Heaton, near Leek; or at" the Office of Mr. COUP- LAND, Solicitor, in Leek. Leek, " Mth July, 1825. ANOTIIEU Line of Canal was suggested to me, which was to proceed upon the Harecastle Summit, across a lower part of the Country, to the Peak Forest Canal; but after due examination, I was convinced this was unad- visable, for the following reasons;— lst. The Line would cross several very wide and deep Valleys. 2nd. It would be forced round the Western extremity of the great mass of high and irregular Ground, called Alderley Edge. 3rd. It would pass through a part ofthe Country occu • pied by extensive Parks. 4th. From the irregularity of the Ground, the Line would he very circuitous. Sth. The main Line would pass at a very Inconvenient distance from the Milling and Manufacturing Districts of Country. My attention has also been drawn to the propriety of making a branch from the intended . Macclesfield Canal, to the Town uf Stockport. But as that Town lies 2? 0 feel below the said intended SJaii) Line, and as by means of the Peak- Forest, Ash ton, and Stockport Canals, a Water Communication already exists, it seems quite un- advisable to incur a great Expense in constructing a rival Navigation for so limited a consumption. And it is my decided opinion, that the Subscribers should confine them- selves solely to the execution ofthe Main Line of Canal, from the Peak Forest, to the Grand Trunk, at Harecastle THOS.

K MACCLESFIELD COURIER, STOCKPORT EXPRESS, AND CHESHIRE GENERAL ADVERTISE^. m- J TIIE BISHOP OF CHESTER'S CHARGE. On Tuesday week, the- BISHOP of CHESTER held bis primiary visitation in the Cathedtal of that eity; after ihe names of the Clergy had been called over, the Rev. Prelate proceeded to deliver his CHARGE. His Lordship observed that being desirous to obtain such information of the state of his Diocese, and the due execution within it of all laws Ecclesiastical, be bad ad- dressed a paper to the Clergy, to which generally speak- ing, full and satisfactory answers h& d been given. As he understood some surprise had been expressed at the pur- port of several of the questions,, more immediately rela- tive to the office and duty of Churchwardens, be thought it right to state, that they were strictly in accordance with the 115th canon, and are therein especially directed to be put. Indeed, tbe questions differed in no degree, except as to form, with those which had been put by his Lordship's predecessors ; but as the answers were too often vngue and inconclusive, he ( the Bishop) had merely adopted a different form which he thought better calcu- lated to obtain the information required,— because he thoughtit a most lamentable circumstance that men were annually sworn to execute a certain office, and solemnly undertook to do that which they did not understand— This was a practice which too generally prevailed, and which If it took place in a secular office, would subject the parties to deserved reproof and punishment. It was the duty of the Clergy to explain to the Officers of the Church the nature of their situations, but he was appre- hensive that was seldom done, and till such an arrange- ment took place it would be tbe business of the Bishop to prevent a recurrence of conduct of which the parties ought to be ashamed. His Lordship said he felt too sensibly the difficulties of his own situation, not to be alive to those which attended upon his Clergy; but it was a source of great pleasure to him to reflect that in his Diocese, which was one of the most extensive and popu- lous in the kingdom, the offices of the Church were, at least, as well administered, and the duties of the Clergy as well attended to, as those of any other Diocese what- ever, " nd this convinced him that he to do with an active and enlightened Clergy. One thing was obvious— that for all this he was indebted to his excellent predecessor, who for a period of 12 years had presided over the Dio- cese with benevolence and kindness, which gave full effect to his exertions, and who still looked back' with affection to the field of his former labours. His Lord- ship hoped, as he spoke with sincerity, that he Should meet with the same assistance, from the Ministerswho heard him, in the execution of his duties, as they might expect to have from him whenever it was demanded— The good which the active Minister of Christ's Church might produce, was beyond all possibility - of calculation, and must bring to him its own reward in inexpressible delight; whilst the careless workman In the harvest, who has no anxiety for the welfare of men's souls, was the means of great mischief to the cause of Religion, and • would ultimately accumulate ill to himself. Tlie present was not an occasion for compliment and self- gratulation; such stated times of meeting should be seasoned by spiritual advice— the Clergy should do the work of Evangelists, both in their preaching, and in their living. Hisl. ordsihip felt no apprehension of unpopularity, which was too often the case with those who told others the duty they had to perform; and it should never deter him from speaking, he hoped with kindness, on those subjects which related to the important office to which he had been called. He intreated his Revered Brethren to bear in mind, tha. t they were tied together by the bond of spiritual relation- ship, and they should unceasingly look to the temporal, as well as the eternal, welfare of those committed to their care. On some points of order and discipline they might not think alike; and it would be unnatural, perhaps, to expect it. When the law, however, spoke out, our judg- ments should be suspended. The spirit of the law was not less binding on a honest man than the letter; and he ( the Bishop) would from time to time, point out to them those things which, he conceived, might tend to their mutual advantage, and the spread of true religion. He would rather they ( the Clergy) would anticipate his wishes than obey his injunctions. These were not, time3 in which, we should lose even one opportunity of supporting the Church ; what was at one time merely the duty of the Clergy , was now absolutely necessary and essential to their existence; and all the claims of the Church upon the State would be considered useless, unless her usefulness was shown— The Clergy of the Church never would be respected till they did tlieir duty, and then they would entitle themselves to public respect. Much unlimited - obloquy bad been heaped upon the Church, by those who were always ready to ridicule the failings of her Ministers, and 110 etory, however improbable, was thought too absurd, the object bf Which was to attack the Church . and her Clergy. Still, be was gratified in observing, that there was a feeling abroad throughout the country, which would ultimately do justice to them. There was in the • community a moral feeling towards a religious establish- ment connected with the Government, which spread itself even into social life, and which the Clergy might improve into an affection of the most lasting kind;— the idea of a faithful Pastor watching over the welfare of the soul, what could be so endearing, and cheering ? Surely, then, they ought to reflect if their own example was of such importance, how much depended upon them the well- being of the Church and of Religion itself— and what mis- chiefs would accrue to it by neglect. In the words of that Office, by which they were dedicated to Christ, and which ought ever to be implanted in their hearts, they should recollect, that " They are the sheep of Christ, which he - bought with his death, and for whom he shed his blood. The Church and Congregation whom you must serve, are his spouse and his body. And if it shall happen the same Church, or any member thereof, to take any hurt or hindrance by reason of your negligence, ye know the greatness of the fault, and also the horrible punishment that will ensue."— His Lordship observed, that he could wish earnestly to impress on their minds this fact, that they were a distinct order of men, set apart for a particular purpose, to be watchmen and stewards of the Word, and that their Influence ought to be and would be commen- surate with the sanctity of their personal character, so far as it was detached from secular pursuits. In a Lay- man many things gave no offence, whereas in a Clergy- man a much stricter judgment was exercised, and it was proper it should be so, for they should show to the world, that they were a wholesome example to Christ's flock, " In all things showing a pattern of good works.' Allowances certainly must be made for the temperature of different men ; but none for him who perseveres in a life of scandal, and who excludes himself from the respect due to a Clergyman, by his clothes— and his manner?,— and who appears to be as much ashamed of his Order as his Order is of him. The Bishop hoped, that by thes ® remarks, they did not understand him to recommend a complete seclusion from the world quite the contrary ; he would only urge, that tile Members of their Profession ought to exercise great caution it their transactions with the world, and in whatever so ciety they might he thrown, they should never forge1 their peculiar calling. He put it to them whether the office would not suffer in the minds of inquiring people, by a laxity of conduct on the part of those who bore it?— It was a subject well worthy of consideration, and, added his Lordshin, " I speak as unto wise men, judge ye what X mean."' His sentiments on these subjects having lieen much tortured, he thought it proper to speak thus plainly on the effect of clerical duties, and he had, in so doing, adopted the opinions of some of the most eminent men who had adorned the Church, Such as Burnet and Seeker, and others. The Bishop then adverted to the mode which some of the elergy adopted of reading the beautiful Li- turgy of the Church. Thie part of their professional du- ty should be done in a way which would show the hearer that their hearts were engaged in what they said, and by so doing they would soon have the hearts of their hearers with them. They would thus compensate even for the disadvantages of a bad voice, or an imperfect delivery,— and evince in some measure, their belief that their faith was built on the foundation Jesus Christ, and him cruci- fied. His Lordship had already made them acquainted with the nature of the caticheticai instructions which lie would recommend tn be impressed on the minds of the young, preparatory to the sacred rite of Confirmation; and he then adverted to the importance of, and the ad. vantage of giving encouragement to, local and national schools ( and observed, that as the principal of general instruction was now in full opeiation, much would de- pend upon the Clergy, for the good or the evil which might result from it, With respect to llie parochial Clergy, the law was fully defined, and, by God s blessing, it should be his guide; those, therefore, who heard him, would not hereafter be taken by surprise. The rubric and Canons of the Church they were hound s'rictly to study, especially the former. The law allowed of no alteration whatever, and therefore a scrupulous and conscientious adherence In those rules of discipline was absolutely necessary— a deviation in tiie slightest degree from the line marked out by the Church, ' ought never to be permitted. If particular n. inislers were to follow their own jti ' gmenls, a- id make allir. lions, the result wo ild be it term liable discord, and t! ie ad- vantages of a strict unanimity and conformity in an Es- tablished Church would be thus defeated. A perfect con- formity to the rules and ordinances of the Church, was a duty t » - which the Clergy were bound by the most solemn promises; they had no more right to alter/ lie formulary, than they had to preach doctrines at variance with the XXXIX Articles. They were at liberty to withdraw from the Church, but they were prevented altering the form of those rights which they bad undertaken to support. It should never be forgotten, said an excellent Writer, that the Ministers of the Church are to submit to a higher authority— that they are toexecule tife laws and not break them. This was the fundamental principle of our Eccle- siastical policy, and was too often overlooked; for it was not too much to require from a Clergyman of the Church of England, a discipline strictly conformable with the ru- brick, with this distinct proviso, that the thing required be practicable. In the' Sacraments, particularly, it was highly reprehensible for a Minister to deviate from the prescribed form. Here his Lordshin adverted at some length to the residence of the parochial Clergy, and on this subject, his Lordship thought the less which was left for the interference of the Bishop, was the better. The Act of 57th, Geo. III. although susceptible - of consider- able Improvement, was nevertheless a most salutary law, calculated to do much good, and he was bound to- abide by its provisions, and to require that all nominations of Cu- rates by non- resident Incumbents, should be strictly drawn up in conformity with the instructions contained In that Statute. After adverting to the state of tke ' Parish Churches, and the Glebes attached to them, the Bishop remarked, that he attributed tlie dilapidated state in which some of them appeared to be, to the want of occasional Visitations by tliose Ecclesiastical officers who were en- trusted with ample - powers for that purpose, and he was fearful that Ihe excellent directions of his Right Rev. Predecessor, ( Dr. Law) on this head, had not been at- tended to. Commissaries should be appointed to inspect the Houses and Glebes attached to Parishes, who would afford advantages which would be great and obvious— His Lordship hoped that no Incumbent would permit the house in which he resided to fall into decay with the dishonest view of leaving, the expence of repairs to his successors ; this would be a conduct altogether unworthy of his sacred calling. With regard to future Candidates fir'Holy Orders, he should always require three months'notice of their in- tention, in order that he might institute a strict inquiry into their conduct, having loiig been aware, that nothing can be more desirable for the welfare of the Church than a strict investigation of the characters of those who may be applicants for the Ministry, which would give him ( the Bishop) an opportunity of rejecting improper persons- Clergymen, therefore, should exercise great care in sign- ing testimonials, as it was almost tlie only security a Bishop had against the admission of those who were in- competent for the sacred office- He was fearful, how- ever, that oftentimes too little attention was paid to this. To attest by a proper signature circumstances of which the party was often quite ignorant, and give sanction to the qualification of an individual on a question which, perhaps, he never considered, was to his mind, highly reprehensible, and in a transaction purely secular would excite well- merited contempt and detestation. The same disgrace attached to those who give wlmt were properly called sham titles. They solemnly and deliberately put their hands to that which they do not intend to do, a ( id which in ordinary situations in life, would brand them with inde lible infamy. In noticing this, he was not putting an ideal case— such an occurrence had taken place. I'he whole transaction was grounded in fraud, in order to in- duce the Bishop to do that which, if he knew, he would not do. Such proceedings were, in point of fact, Simcniacal, and, ( said his Lordship) if hereafter I hear of a dis- graceful proceeding of this nature, I will expose the parties to that public shame and obloquy which lie de- serves ; and if 1 find a Deacon who has been admitted to that office under such circumstances, 1 will never ad- vance him to the Second Order, nor will I sign his testi- monials to another Bishop. 1 speak plainly ; and I ex- pect no Clergyman will apply for a Curacy unless a pre- vious application has been made to me for a licence, and this is expressly directed by the 48th Canon ; in fact, un- less the Curates be formally licenced, the Incumbents themselves are subject to all the penalties " of non- re- sidence." In conclusion, his Lordship remarked, that he believed there was no where a hotly of men with whom the world at large were inclined to deal more severely than with the Clergy; to expect to findTlieni altogether alienated from worldly affairs, was to do away with the influence of com- mon affection'. A great number of the benefices in the Diocese were very inadequately endowed'. On one sub- ject lie felt himself compelled to lay before his Rev. Bre tliren, the outline of a plan, which, if carried into effect, would be thought, tend to the improvement of i he fami- lies of many Clergymen who bail laboured in the Lord's vineyard, and to the respectability, generally, of the Church of England. Many of tile Clergy had to tail for many years on a pittance much less than their wealthy neighbours frequently gave to their menial servants. In civil life Ihe servants of the public were relievpd with a pension for themselves and families, whilst those to whom are en- trusted the care of souls, are left on a miserably dependency His Lordship approved much of the institutions which had already been formed fir such a purpose, but he was of opinion, that instead of Diocesan and Local Charities, a general Fund should be established, to which ail the Clergy of the country should each contribute bis mite— a very small proportion of his income. This would enable the families of deceased M inisters to pass away the evening of their days in respectability and comparative comfort, with - out bearing the features of an eleemosynary grant. He was not blind to the difficulties which presented them selves t- o such a plan, but he hoped they were not insupera- ble. It might be stated on the part of the rich Clergy, man, that he would have to contribute to a fund from which he could get nothing; but such an objection would come with an ill grace from a servant of that master who tells him to do good without expecting any thing fnr it. His Lordship earnestly recommended the principle of this plan to the attention of the Clergy of the Diocese of Chester, The Bishop here apologized for detainieg the Clergy so long a time ; it was their first meeting ; and from the present impulse of public feeling, the state of tbe Church had become peculiarly interesting. Unfortunately their Synodical Meetings were not sufficiently frequent. He was sensible, deeply sensible, of the need 01 tile assist- ance in which he stood, from his R4v. Brethren, to en- able him- to attend to the welfare of the Church, and the well- being of our Holy Religion. Uttering an ejacula- tion that their united exertions and services might be effective, his Lordship terminated his Charge, which gave great satisfaction to the congregation, who were in attendance. yell. At first tbe women only joined in the howl, but when the procession came in sight of the gaol, on the lodge of which the gallows is erected at the Assizes, the six brothers, and other male relatives of the prisoner, be- came as loud and as vehement in their expressions of grftf as the females. The cries and looks of both men and women were, however, not merely expressive of sorrow. Revenge, deadly- revenge, was evidently intheir hearts. The prisoner himself appeared quite unmoved. He some- times turned round, and In a mild tune of voice bade ihem be quiet, or hold their tongues. - His conduct in walking to the gaol was similar to that evinced upon his trial, ar. d during his sentence, - firm and unmoved, though appa- rently not brutally unmoved. It was surprising to see how indifferent the town's people in general were to the scene. The greater part took no more notice, than if a bullock, were driven through the streets. We observed two or three very coolly inquire whether that man had been condemned. After all, however, it is not wonder- ful. The Irish people are familiar to such scenes, and many of them think no more of a man being hanged than ( if a pig- being killed. It'is very common to bear them joke aiid laugh about the appearance of a poor wretchjhang- ing on tbe gallows, and if remonstrated with, they will exclaim, "- Sure he cares nothing about it now; His all over with him ; is he not in heaven ?" . It is right to ob- serve, that they do not* think a person suffering for mur- der is in so safe a state as one who is hanged for house- breaking or whiteboyism. But to return. Just as the prisoner approached the gaol, and was nearly under the gallows, a woman ran towards the soldiers, exclaiming, " Sure you'll let the poor boy take a drink of beer." The soldiers halted for a moment, and the prisoner drank with a good deal of avidity. When he got to the gaol, as if weary with the lamentations of his friends, he hastened through the passage, when the door immediately closed, and the howl became, if possible, ten times more vehe- ment than ever. One of the prisoner's sisters fainted and fell upon the ground. Water was procured, and in about ten minutes sensibility was restored. She raised her head, and Operiing'her eyes, beheld the gallows- just above her, on which her brother, in- a few hours, was to suffer. The time that elapsed between this prisoner's sentence, and the execution was spent in religious exer- cises. He was attended by three Clergy men of the Church of Rome. Previous to his being brought out for execution lie was married to Bridget Dillon, the woman who was tried with him for murdering Mr. Hurst, and who, it ap- peared, lived in a stats of concubinage with that gentle- man. Why such a mockery of marriage as this should have been permitted, we are totally unable to imagine. One would have thought, that a man upon the very verge of eternity might have been otherwise engaged, than in being marriedfto eav the best of her) to a profligate and shameless strumpet." ' Kirby, since his conviction up to the hour ef execution, declared that he wa « innocent of the murder— his fortitude did not forsake him for a mo- ment. AVhen he appeared on the scaffold, the immense crowd that had assembled in front of the gaol seemed desirous for him to address them, as it had been rumoured among them that he persisted in declaring his innocence. Hewas evidently anxious to speak ; but instead of ad- dressing the peojile, he turned round to the gentlemen on the platform, and declared, in the most solemn manner, that he was prepared to die; that he did not fear death; and, as he should be shortly before the face of Almighty God. he did not commit the murder, nor was he present at Its committal, or any way concerned in it. The Priest then cautioned him as to the consequences of littering a falsehood on the brink of eternity; but he still persisted. After tbe drop fell, he was observed to strike his right hand seven or ei^ ht times against his breast, as though he was mentally exclaiming in the language of the publican, " God be merciful to me a sinner I" Although this man met his " fate with the greatest apparent composure and resignation, and with a declaration of innocence even 011 bis dying lips, no pers » n • entertains a doubt of his guilt, Indeed, it is reported that the woman to whom he was married, and who was supposed to be present at the niur der, has declared that Kirby was alone the guilty man. He was a tall, well- made, and good- looking young man. An awkward instrument to bleed a man with?— Tell me, Sir, whether you don't think a good hurley would bleed a man. Who was fighting that day ?— Who was fighting !— Sure'the Hares were fighting us. Do you know what a battle is ?— A battle did you say ? How should I know what a battle is ? 1 am no scholar. By the JUDGE Might not Hare have struck you by accident ? Witness Och ! - Sir, if he aimed at the ball and hit my head, how came his two brothers to make that mistake ? Mr. Richard Franklin, surgeon, proved the nature of the wounds. - tin Lis cross- examination, ' he said that one of the pri- soners 011 his trial. Patrick Shearan, was obliged to be trepanned. He was insensible- for eight weeks. One of the other prisoners got a contussion of the brain. He thought the man would have died. A man of the name of M. urphv was also seriously indisposed, lie attended the Hares' mother, when Beer was attacked, and she was shot in the face. Here the case fir the Crown- closed. Gelor. el .

OF PATRICK Limerick, July 29 After tbe sentence of death was passed on. this man on the 27th, ( for murder) he wan- con- ducted from the Court- house to the gaol, a distance of more than half a mile on foot, handcuffed, and accompanied bv a guard of soldiers armed with muskets. This mode of conveying prisoners from and to the place of confine- ment is customary in this town. The prisoners and guard are always followed by a number of people, antl upon the above occasion, the mob was more numerous than usual. The scene indeed exhibited was beyond the power - of de- scription. There was the unfortunate man, in the midst of the soldiers, walking firmly, and apparently quite un concerned ; and there too were his half- naked relatives, to the number of fifty, or perhaps a hundred, piercing the air with cries, as heart- rending as they were terrific. His mother, a poor eld woman, was entirely devoid of reason, and absolutely raving with grief She was almost in stale of nudity. She had 110 shoes or stockings, A large grey cloak thrown over her shoulders, was her principal garment. She had torn her cap from her head, her bosom was bear, and her cloak and grey hair waved wildly in the wind. She sometimes threw her long and shrivelled arms about her bead, and at others violently struck her bosom, and exclaimed in her native language. Mochbo huil bragh! Mogh bohuil bragh—( Ohi my fine boy 1 my fine boy.) There was a young woman, one of the prisoner's sisters, whose conduct was not less remarkable than his mother's. Her bowlings and screams were hor- rible; and il was with difficulty she could be prevented from rushing upon the bayonets of the soldiers, in order, if possible, to embrace her brother. But we have only described or attempted to describe individuals. The group of mourners consisted of more than a hundred, for as the procession proceeded the numbers increased. Some of the women had children at their breasts, and it was curi ous to contrast the mild placidity of their countenance, with the demoniac grief expressed in the faces of their mothers. These poor creatures were in the lowest state of wretchedness. Scarcely one of them had either shoes or stockings, and the petticoats of many were torn half way up the thigh, It is impossible for those who never beard the said howl, when proceeding from a great lium Ivr of persons, to conceive any idea'of it. Imagination cannot form to itself so terrible and soul burrowing Brian Hare. James Hare, George Hare, Clvtrle* Hare, Daniel Ilart. Patrick Shearan, John Shearan, D in. M'Grath, and'Jbin Wall, stoodcliarged with having, at Kilderry, on Sunday the 20th of March last, killed and slaved a man of the name of John Nash. This case arose out of a regular Irish row, which was occasioned by n dis] iute between two opposite parties— namely, " the, three- vear- olds and the four- year- olds," at a game at ball called " bufley." There was a cress- in- dictment, and consequently both parties were put to the bar. The witnesses for the present prosecution were taken out of the dock. Edmund Nash examined.—- I know the prisoners, and I have reason lo know them. Take the Crier's wand, and point them out—- I will do that too— The witness had g remarkably wild, savage ap- pearance, and seemed inclined, instead of merely pointing out the prisoners, to thump them 011 liie head.) I remem- ber Sunday, the 20th of March. The boys were to be at Kilderry on that day, hurling. When the riot began, there was a ball thrown up by . James Hare, between him and Dennis Sbehan. ' Instead of striking the lall . Jemmy knocked down Dennis— knocked him dawn dead on his knees— ikilt him dead. Killed him, do you say?— Yes, Sir, kilt him dead, al though he recovered after.—( Loud laughter.) Three of the Hares struck Shearan. 1 saw them strike hint. Then my brother, John Nash, came up to defend Shearan, and Brian Hare ( hesitating)— and James Hare— and George Hare— and'Charles Hare— and Daniel Hare knocked my brother down dead. They knocked him on the poll of his head, and on every bit of him. When my brother was getting up again, John Waif knocked hitn down with a stone. How long did he live?— Oh, stop awhile. Then Jack Sbehan came up and gave himself ( the deceased) a knock under the ear with two hurleys ; then knocked him down dead again, and said they'd be bound he was settled, and we might wake liim at night. We raised him up, and got our hands under his arms, ami walked him home to his owiwloor. He asked us where he was, and said his bead was splitting. He never spoke again;—( Much agi- tated.) He died the next day. Cross- examined by M r.' JACKSON' Upon my oath, 1 didn't see our party striking any body, but only defend- g themselves. Look- at that p'. or boy there, with his head wrapt up ; the bov you were about to strike just now with the Crier's wand : how came he with Ilis skull beaten in ?— Look at him ! look at him! Did he say he was struck now ? and sure why should I look at him ? Have you not just come out of the dock ?— You may say that, I have. My brother struck nobody. He had only a little branch of a root in his hand, not so thick as my wrist. He was a poor little boy— about twenty- four years of age. ( A laugh) I don't know whether our party belongs to the four- year- olds or the threes. Sure, my Lord, I am not to be put off in this way. My brother was kilt and murtliered. That is a nice way to kill my brother—.( Agituteil.) I am a quiet boy. 1 always pay my rent. Edmund Young deposed that there was some gathering' of the boys on the Sunday in question. lie confirmed the teslimonyof the first witness. Cross- examined— Had a little bit ( 5f a stick. I don't know what wood was ill it. Was it as thick as my thumb?— As thick as your thumb ! Sure that would lie- no stick at all—( Laughter.) What do you do with that great coat on to- day ?— To keep out the beat. Let him into the dock again. Eleanor Howard confirmed tbe testimony ef the other witnesses. . Tn her cross- examination she said— I would not - perjure mvself for all the men that ever - awred a hat, nor women nailer. I was the nearest to my own boys. Are the four year olds your own bovs, Nelly ? Sir, the four- year olds, did ynu say ? 1 was nearest to the Nashes. I live at, James Nash's. I was in the house when the poor boy died. I don't love one above another, nor ano- ther above lie. I was quite convenient to mv own bovs. By Jove, then, I don't know whether any body had any thing in their hands. Faith, 1 am not sure whether I saw any of the Hares knocked down. Dennis Sheban, the man who was represented to have been kilt, in the beginning of the row, examined. His testimony was to the same effect as the foregoing. Cross- examined— Well, Dennis, did yo'n strike any- body ?— Sure I was not able. Stand up, Dennis, and let the Jury judge of your abi- lity. ( The witness was a remarkably strong- built man, more than six feet high.)— Was not able that day, for James Hare had kilt me—( A laugh) Sure I know James Hare ri^ ht well, and I have good reason. I got three blows with a hurley from him. I'll engage I was bothered with the blows, for I am not the boy not to do my best if I was able. You were disabled then, were you ?— Disabled say you ? Well then, I don't understand any high English—( A laugh.) He bled me with a thick hurley, I know. Nuremberg, July" 2( 1 Though the assembly of the troops in the departments of tlie fjr. st and West Pyrenees is represented at Piiris as nothing but an ordinary military arrangement, for the increase and inspection of tbe Regi- ments, it is certain that it is- looked upon in a very different light in - the Southern departments. The number of these troops will be mope considerable tban was af first stated. Inspectors are, indeed, expected, who are to superintend the reviews ; but when these are " over, the troops will still remain in their encampments, antl be placed in such a state of preparation, that they will be able lo march at the first order. This order is, of course, dependent on the turn hich the affairs of Spain may tajie-; but if we consider the state of that country, as it is represented, both in let- ters and- verbal accounts of persons coming from it, we must be convinced that our Government acts with great wisdom in assembling this corps. All the accounts- chew the progress of the intrigues carrying on, which will pro. tiably be followed by some severe measures. The Spanish Oltras will not renounce ths preponderance of which it is intended to deprive them, but will maintain it by every means in their power. This is the real state of the case. The Ultra party is endeavouring tooverthrow the Ministry antl its new system, and thinks to effect it bv employing the means it has at command. A civil war is, therefore, considered to he almost inevitable. Should things come to this, the French Army in Spain must be reinforced, and this is| the reason for the assembling of the troops. Cuba Captain Otten, of the schooner Lord Nelson, which arrived at Darien a few days since from Turks Is- ' land, states, while he- was there, he learned that the French had ttiken possession of l'orto Rico.; and that the British " fotce was shortly to land at Trinidad ( south side of Cuba) to take possession of that island. The ' Angsburgh Gazette, under the date of Trieste, July 18 and 19, gives the following intelligence:— Letters from Corfu of the 10th July, announce lhat Ibrahim Pacha has possessed himself of Tridolizza after , a strong resistance on the part of the elder Colocotroni. He afterwards continued his inarchupon Argos. Several actions were previously fought, but ail of them to the disadvantage of the Greeks. Every thing- indicates lhat their energies are paralysed. While ail the accounts of the maritime - operations of the Greeks against the Tur- ks speak only of- victories, the most recent information, from Corfu, of the 9th July, states that - Ibrahim Pacha continued his abvances into the Altirea. The conqueror in several actions which he had with the two Colocotronis, father antl son, lie has marched upon Tripolizssa. As soon as the Greeks the impossibility of- saving I hat capital, they set fire to it with their own bands, after having before destroyed all the vilagts that lav in their route. Ibrahim Pacha afterwards entered Tripolizxa, and coptinBed his victorious march as far as Argos. However alarming this intelligence may be for the Greek cause, it is no longer possible to doubt the- fidelity of Colocotroni, for all his property lying in the environs of Tripolizxa, Hie himself gave it up to ' destruction. The following is- in oneof the Journals:— The Ambassadors of France, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, after having received instructions from their respective Courts, have transmitted to the Reis F. ffendi a Note,' containing'tlieir offer of mediation to adjust the differences between the Porte and the Greeks. To this Note was added the result of the conferences which look- Ministers of those Powers. The note in question, and place at St. Petershurglyfor the sameobject, lietween the the important matter 10 which it relates, have occasioned several extraordinary meetings of llie Divan. It appears there were long discussions on the subject, and that the rejection of all mediation was finally determined upon— However, the Porte had not judged it expedient to re. ply officially by a short note. The Reis F. HVndi was merely instructed to declare verbally to each of the Mi- nisters of- France, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, in par- ticular, that the Porte could not accept ( he proposed in- tervention, in a question which concerned its rebellious subjects, Inasmuch as such an act would he derogatory to its Sovereignty. We shall now see whether the great Continental Powers will take any ulterior steps. Eng- land was no party to these negotiations. Corfu, ' July 6— Persons, who describe themselves to have beer, eye witnesses, who left Missnlonghi two days ago, assert that Redschid - Pacha has raised the seige of that place, and retired upon Brachori, in consequence of a sortie of the garrison, rby which he expeaienced, il is said, an very considerable loss. If we give credence to the Greek reports, it will appear that famine and the con- tinual combats, which he has sustained have put it out of his power to undertake any fresh enterprise. It must certainly be confessed that the reverses * of the Captain Pacha, Which have hitherto prevented from coming to the assistance of the Seraskier, must necessarily have a great influence on the opperations of the latter." Mayencc, July 22.— There is a great demand for oats in the corn markets of the Netherlands, as well as in Eng- land, from whicbcountry news has been brought that Ihe barley crops have totally failed. It is believetl- there, that in consequence of the great- rise in llie prices, which are still advancing, Hie importation of that kind of grain will soon be permitted In England, aud that the loth August is spoken Of as the time when the permission will proba- bly begin. In many parts of Lower Germany the rape seed seems to have failed. Ilolstein, from which large quantities of this grain are usually exported to Holland, this year receives supplies from the Weser. The prices of oil'have ' likewise risen a little in the Netherlands and this morket. liny sugars, too, have risen in Holland, and the demand for coffee lias become more brisk. lion's paws, made many ineffectual attempts to seize Wal- i laCe by the lip t at length becoming more annoying, lie' succeeded in attracting the attention of the kingly beast; who laying down poor Ball, then nearly dead, in one cor- ner of the cage, directed Ills fury upon his other an tagiw nist. Wallace furiously grasped him between the neck atld the shoulder, and liyt for the timely and humane as- sistance ofolle of tbe keepers, who held out a piece of raw meat to him to entice him from his prey, would have killed him 011 the Spot. Notwithstanding the result of the last combat, the lion was freely backed at 5 to 1 al life beginning of this attack f and at its close many bets were offered at 50 to 1, but there were no takers. SECOND ATTACK Twenty minutes having elapsed, the next two dogs, Turpin and Sweep ( the former fi3lbs. antl the latter nearly 40lhs. weighty were brought to the platform. Wallace, unlike the domesticated Nero, in- stantly rose upon his leg?, eager for the contest. Botlf dogs rushed in in gallant style, but in different directions. The lion receded a few paces, with a slow, proiM motiirny towards one corner of the cage, antl sidled for ttfoi'e tlian' a minute, as if watching the motions of bis enertliesh— Sweep boldly attacked the lion in front, antl hung by the flowing mane of his antagonist; but the other dog griping one of his hind legs, Wallace threw Sweep away from him with considerable violence, antl turned round to punish Turpin for his temerity, and not as some imagined, lo retreat from the fury of ilis opponents. The lordly brnte- seized him by the throat, but generously spared bis life. Turpin, as soon as he regained his liberty, made the' quickest and best use of it, by running away to his kennel,, leaving his companion to finish the comb it in the best way he could. Wallace, exasperated at tho annoyance he suffered from Sweep while he was punishing Turpin, grasped him over the loins, antl would have killed him in a few minutes, had not the poor dog been drawn out by stratagem. This atfa.' k lasted aliout live mintes. THIRD ATTACK This attack ditl not take place till 10 minutes after the stipulated lime ( viz twenty minutes,) in consequence of an attempt made on the part of tbe popu- lace to gain admission into the enclosure witthout paying. During the cessation-< if hostilities, Wallace walked round bis cage for some minutes in surlv silence, antl then couched upon his fore- paws ; none of the keepers daring- to approach him. The remaining dogs, Billy and ' Hirer, were- then brought to the stage. Both of them at first seemed terrified at the Royal beast, and were a long lime before they would enter tliecage. Tiger( who hasprovetl himself a better barker th• m fighter), having received some little punishment in the late contest with Nero, went in first, but as soon as « the lion approached him, lie made a precipitate retreat. Billy, who liad only got halfway t hrough the bars, also retracted his steps on the platform. Wallace, not tbe least fatigued, met his new combatants wlth'unabated spirit; but, disappointed of his prev, be- came furious, and attempted drag them through the bars with his deadly paws. After the lapse of a few seconds ( notwitstanding^ it was contrary to the conditions), the dogs were again put into the cage. Tiger made an attempt to seize the lion by the nose, but receiving a se- vere repulse from one of his tore- paws, barked as usual, and then made his exit. Billy, however, singly maintain- ed the combat for a short time with great spirit, but Wal- lace of length seized him by the loins, andkept him within the grasp of his leviaihan" ^ aws, till the keeper threw a piece of raw flesh into the den, which tempting him, he loosed his hold of his antagonist, and allowed him to - es- cape with his life. As soon as the cage was cleared of his opponents, Wal- lace, seemingly disappointed of his prey, betrayed his- anger by lashing his sides with his tail and roaring tre- mendously. His jaws were covered with crimson foam,, antl he continued to slritle the arena from one end to the- otlier for several minutes, printing each step with gore.. He appeared not in the least exhausted, and in the opi- nion of many sporting gentlemen present, was in a con- dition to have coped with at least as many dogs more, without difficulty. Ball died a few seconds after he was taken out of the- cage, and Tinker expired next morning. Tiger and Tur- pin ore but littlehurt ; but Sweep lies in a very danger- ous state. Billy ( the property of Wedgbury, who keeps, the Subscription Rat Pit, in the Green Dragon- yardv High Holborn), is expected to recover. He is a fine dogv about 15 months old, weighing about Girths. Sweep had several of hiv rihs broke, and is otherwise much in jured. Nelson and Captain, who wereengaged with Nero, are- not expected to live the night through. Nettle has beem sold by Mr. Edjvardsto Col. Gatacre, for twenty- five guineas. We understand ( he wliole receipts ( on Tuesday and Sa-- turday) amounted to between £ 500. and £ 600. out of which Mr. Wombwell will have to pay for the use of the buildings, yard, £ 59. and the amount of anv < U> inasfe sustained. The expences connected with tbe fight will amount altogether to about £ 400. Wallace was whelped at Edinliuig'i about six years ago. He lost bis mother when two days old, antl was suckled and reared by a bull bitch. The sire and dam of Nero died at the age of ten years old. They were caught to- gether, when somewhat more than a year old, in a trap, made in a wood, on the coast of Barbary. They were considered the finest animals of their kind ever imported from the wilds of Africa, being the first specimens of the blac'k- maned species that were introduced into this country. SECOND LION AND DOG FIGIIT AT WAR. WICK, FOR ONE HUNDRED SOVEREIGNS. On Saturday evening, the fight ( which was for 100 so- vereigns a- side) took place in the Factory- yard, Warwick; • in the presence of about 1,300 persons. At a few mtmvtes past seven O'clock in the evening Wallace's carayan was placed aside the iion cage, anil in a few minutes he entered it with great majesty; the band 011 his entrance playing the national anthem of " God save the King." At half- past seven, the necessary prepara- tions being completed, the two dogs, Ball and Tinker, were brought to the scratch; the former a tawny and white dog, 24 years old, and weighing 4libs-, and the latter a red dog, 4 years old, and 461bs. weight. During the in- terval of time previous to the cry of " havoc, and let slip the dogs of war," the most intense anxiety prevailed throughout the whole assemblage. At length ihe impor- tant moment arrived, and the dogs mounted the stage with great spirit. Wallace, who was at this time crouch- ing down, on hearing the cry of the dogs, instantly sprung to the side of tbe cage from whence the noise proceeded. H is head and ears were erected, the hairs of his fine bushv mane stood up like bristles, his eyes sparkled like file, and a general convulsion seemed to agitate his whole frame. Both dogs, although excited to the highest pitch of fliry by the persons' who handled them, appeared over- awed by the terrific appearance of the royal beast, and remainedjf'or four or five minutes upon the platform, with- out making any attempt to enteiUlie cage; at length Ball going too near the bars, he was forced into it by the lion's paw. The poor dog had scarcely got upon liis legs ere the lion caught him in his mouth, and carrietl him round the arena fir several minutes, as a cat would do a mouse, and with the same ease. The attitude of the lion at this period of the combat. was noble in the extreme. Tinker, who during the whole of this period was kept at bay by the TATTERSAI/ I/ S— MONDAV. The betting to- day was exceedingly brisk; some heavy sums were laid; very little alteration. Redgauntlet a shade worse to- day; also Cleveland ; Altisidora has also receded two or three points 5 very little alteration on any of the others. • ST. LEBER.— 8 to 1 ngst.

About ten o'clock, a fisherman 011 his way homewards, heard loud cries of " murder," and on going towards a plot of unoccupied ground near tbe Borough Gaol, he met a man running towards him; from his hasty manner, the fisherman entertained a suspicion that he had been com- mitting some crime, and being a very powerful man, he seized the fellow bv bis collar; a piece of the coat how- ever, gave way m the straggle that ensned, and the man escaped, leaving the piece in the fisherman's possession^ The fisherman then obtained further assistance, and ot* searching about the ground a man was discoveredlving iii a most dreadful state, and nearly covered with blood.. The wounded man was carried, in a state of insensibility, to Mr. Davies, a Surgeon, residing in St. Paul's- square,. who immediately rendered him whatever attention was in his power; but gave it as bis most decided opinion, that the stranger could not survive his wounds very long ; he was a decently- dressed looking couvitrvmar., wastjuite- insensible, and had nothing about hi' 11 to indicate who or what he was; but the supposition seemed to be,, tiiat he ; was a person from the country visiting this: town, to avail i himself of the benefit of bathi/ ig, particularly from- the circumstance of the spot where lie wasfiiundjleadingfrom the shore towards the town. From She want of knowing where to find the'poor man's friends, MivDavis was cwv- tielled to send him to the T nfirmary, wbere He still lies;. lie was alive at a late hy Jr last night, but- his death was-- momently expected : lr3 has rrat bees, able to utter any thing distinctly, but w> ien asked his name he has said some- thing which sounded.', jke " Davis."

They were spe'jdily and- safely loged in the Bridewell, until the ne~ ce? sary evidence can, bfrcollected.. On searching Kelly's h' Jging, a jacket was found, with marks of blood and a Viece torn off; but as the fiisherman has not yets been found, ( although no doubt is entertained of feisappeairiug.) it cannot lse ascertained whether the piece of doth l^ e has belonged to, this jacket, A shirt which Kelly had 08 was also marked with blood, and there are some, other c'neum- stanees which we will for the the present omit, ss the prisoners have rot yet undergone any examination. A rumour ol' this horrid transaction very soon collected a a number of persons to the spot wbere the unfortunate man was found; and there were yesterday morning founcijhree- jienco in copper, but whether the assassins ohjt.'

THE proceedings of the new Catholic Parliament, which has hetn just established in Dublin, afford additional proof, if any could be desired, of the character of the sect, and nation, for whom the liberal portion of our Ministers were so very willing to forego all those securities upon which our liberties areiftiu- mleil. IVe coulil allow much to men, suffering under the Immediate smart of disappointment, however unreasonable their expectations might have been; and we should express anil feci no irritation at their abuse, ' either of party men r> r 6f party measures. But this is by no means the tone of & implaint ft) which the Speakers of this mew anil dangerous Club indulge. Their oratory is all ( Rrected to produce disunion between the English and Irish nations; and the burthen of thei'r Song is a prophecy that file hour is coming, wheft England wiitbe in ' distress and clanger— when Ireland may safely joiri her tbes, and stab her in the back, whilst she is struggling wilh some lair and honourable enemy. Tils counsel is rascally enough, Uttt not, therefore, the less likely to be adopted: and we owe something to the Irish Orators for the pains which'they are taking to convince us, how completely false every part of the conciliatory professions of Ihe Irish Catho- lics have been. We saw during the late Session of Par- liament Ihe Committees Of the House overburthened with smooth supple Irish, Witnesses, Lawyers, Catholic Bishops, and all the rabble ofthe Catholic 11 Rump," ready, every man of them, to swear that they thought the Protestant Church, an institution by no means to be disturbed— that they would on no account have arty Other person than a Protestant for a Sovereign— and that, ill short, the Catho- lics were so amia'- le and well disposed a class of people, that "' twere pity of our lives," if we did not give them tbe Keys of the State, without further doubt or trouble. That a great proportion both of the English Senate, anil the English people, should have been misled by the plau- sibility of the evidence which was adduced before the House, was by no means either a reproach upon their credulity or their patriotism. They did not, and could not, krtow the character of the Irish nation ; anil if it hail not luckily happened that their two " bellwethers," Dr. DOTLE, and Mr. O'CONNEH, had spoken their real sentiments, the first in the " Letters J. K. I,.," anil the other at the Catholic Board, we should have been puzzled how to dis- criminate thein from real patriots, and men zenlous for the welfare of the kingdom. The deception, hotyever, failed in good time— the Irish Deputation have thrown away the useless mask again, and they are once more busy in exciting the turbulent passions of their ignorant and ferocious disciples. We beg our' Readers now to remark, what the condition of Ireland has been within the last 12 months. A great rise has taken place in the price of all agricultural produce; the ty thes of the CBURCH liaVe beet) settled in a manner which has completely put an end both to extortion and Complaint, anil the Peasantry begin to understand that justice is equally am) fairly administered The consequence of this improvement lias been, that the people are tranquil, ami contented ; ( mote Hibernico, be it understood) anil burn no more families alive— con. tenting themselves with an occasional murder—" pour s'egayer"! This state of tilings, which lias lung been a desideratum ill Ireland, is likely to continue ? and the country, which is beginning to thrive, may become solidly prosperous, rich, anil happy, if tiiC people are merely " let alone.'' If, we repeat, the Irish Peasantry anil popu lace are not urged, goaded, and stimulated to violence, they are and will remain quiet, and avail themselves of the advantages which circumstances how present to them: for, of themselves, they will pay little attention to ques- tions which are immaterial to their interests. But if a Board of mal- contents is to be permitted to sit from week lo week in Dublin, declaiming against the British Govern- ment, and tbe British nation, ill terms which would dis- grace even the clubs of the French Revolution— if these seditious speeches are to be printed and hawked over Ire- land— if this assembly, through the medium of the Priests, is to communicate its venom to every country parish, we say plainly anil confidently, that the Irish populace Will be driven to open rebellion. The question, therefore, aiises, whether it is better to incur this evident risk, or suppress the dangerous assembly, which Is the occasion of its existence ? We know that the old cant about the right of British subjects to meet for discussioii pf their grievances, will be immediately heard, if any measure on the part of the Irish Government should abolish this hew mischief. We trust, however, that, it will be seen by the reflecting part of the community, how the case really stands; and that they will agree with us, in thinking that the great eml of all Government will be best answered in Ireland, as elsewhere, by maintaining the public tranquillity, even though three or four factious loquacious lawyers should choak with rage at having their mouths shut. Mr. O'Coir- NELI., Mr. SIIEII., and the remainder of that tribe, have shewn alteady, more than enough, that their intentions towards England are hostile: and if the Irish Catholics knew their true interests, they would see plainly that all their disappointments may be attributed to the violence and folly flf these men. Much— all that the Catholics could reuijoncfily asjr, would undoubtedly have been theirs at once, anil ii) ilye time ! W? re tpight have been conceded: but their Ambassadors chpse to mis lleljgiun with Revo- lutionary Politics. They chgse tp attgnjpt first tq bully England, and then to clieat her, and they were spurned from her footstool. It is to l} e hoped that the Irish Catho. lies, if they must meet, will at least observe some prudence in the language which they may use, and not disturb the peace of society, by holding up one of the Sister Countries to the other as an enemy anil a tyrant. If they under- stood their own interests they would have acted from the beginning with temper and moderation : but it is not eyen now too late to change their bad habits: and their Assem- bly must either repress the seditious and intemperate vio- lence of their Orators, or expect to be themselves sup- pressed and dispersed by the strong arm the Law. Mr. Dyer's Concert', held on Thursday- evening, at the Theatre," was extremely well attended, and would, we hope, prove an ample recompeni- e for tlte spirited manner if! which Sir.

It would be invidious to mention the nameot any one of our Macclesfield vocalists in [ jreference to am ther, for each acquitted himself wifh great applause; list we must not omit noticing the talent shewn by Master .' ohn- Son, a bov about ten years, old, ( a pupil of Mr. D er's) whose performance of a concerto on the piano- fork- was marked with great taste anil precision. His sister, a girl Seven years old, hail the song of " The Soldier Tir'd," allotted" to her, and it was rather to be regretted she hail so; for, although she may possess musical talent, yet her exlrctiie ybtith, and feebleness of voice,. caused her per- fbrmance to border on the ludicrous; it reminded us u. uch of Matthews' imitations of a child's song.

Loos— The alarm of hydrophobia has naturally called forth many suggestions for preventing the effects of the nuisance of dogs in large cities. One plan, we think, is. unexceptionable; as dogs are taxed, none should be al- lowed to exist in towns without a collar, on which should be placed the name and residence of the owner, which would at once secure the payment of the tax, and make the master known in case any mischief was dijne.

ENTITIPIIISE INDIA STEAM PACKET This vessel is still at Northfleet, and probably some days may elapse [ trior to her sailing, from the circumstance of the working part of her crew having been suddenly discharged, and fresh hands being to be provided. The cause ot this de- lay, it Is slated, reflects high credit on the Commander, Capt. Johnston, who, on receiving a refusal from the men to execute what they conceived unusual and extra duty, and being aware how material at starting, in a voyage of this magnitude, is the slightest dereliction of duty anil infringement of strict discipline, took the immediate de- termination of a general dismissal. The terms offered to the men during the voyage are £ 3 per month. On view- ing this vessel, the supposed difficulties of the great un- dertaking vanish, from the able preparations and skilful precautions. The cabins, which » re separate, are hand- some, and replete with conveniences, the stores abundant and the machinery adequate to tbe undertaking, wilh three able engineers aijrt six assistants, technically called stokers, who, like the crew, will relieve each other in the regular watches. There are at present fourteen passen- gers, with the expectation of more, and the stock of coals, 32P chaldrons, which it is calculated will be sufficient to last to the Cape of Good Hope, where there Is a further supply. The Enterprise, after clearing Out at the North- fleet buoy, will proceed to Falmouth, probably touch at Teiieriffe t and, and alter the shortest possible stay at the Cape, make directly for Bengal, and complete it is presumed, ths entire voyage within eleven weeks.— Morning Paper. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION— Dr. Birkbeck delivered his first Lecture on Friday evening, at the new Theatre of the Institution in Southampton buildings, on the ge- neral principlesof Mechanical Science. There were up- wards of one thousand members present. Speaking of the power of the lever and the pulley, he stated that tney only applied it in the most Convenient and advantageous manner! hut those mechanical contrivances did not create power j there was one combination of power lately ar- rived in this country, which " was completely original, and wonderfully effective. It was the invention of Mr. Dier, a watchmaker, in Boston ( America), and it was scarcely possible to imegine that any machine could be con- structed more simple, or more powerful in equal space. Mr. Dier, the inventor, hail applied his contrivance to his own art in clock Raking! and had bv its means Con- structed clocks with but three wheels, which, with a very small motive power, went for twelve months without winding up. Tbe doctor here exhibited one of the clocks, anil also one of the machines for raising heavy weights, which consisted of a single wheel, of six inches diameter, on a barrel, round which a chain, to which the weight was suspended, was fastened. The wheel had on its periphery fourteen leaves placed obloquy, which worked in a spiral grove in a parallel arbour Or spindle, which was turned by a handle, and communicating motion to the wheel, and by consequence to the barrel on which the chain was wound, raised the weight. Four pounds on the handle of the spindle balanced 5001bs. at the end of the chain, and eight pounds on the handle completely raisied the 500lbs, The ex, hibitioh of this wonderful machine, with which the lecture concluded, was received with the great- est delight by the meeting, whose respectful attention manifested the high- intere^ they felt in the procaedings. BRADFORD, AUG. 3, 1825— The dull uniformity in my reports of the hitherto unyielding obstinacy of " both masters and workmen, will be broken in a trifling degree, by what 1 have to relate of this week's occurrences. The masters had a meeting ct the Sun Inn, on Monday, when it seems some misunderstandidg took place among them, and, according to tbe current report, the ground of it was a discovery 6f unfair practises by some of the masters, inconsistent with the resolutions passed by them at their previous meetings. The consequence pf it has been, that Mr. Garnett has agreed to give his wooicom. bers the prices required, and they have accordingly returned to, their work. It is said that several other masters have seceded from tbe masters' union, and of course it is expected here, that these will also give the advance demanded. With the single exception of Mr. Garnett, however, 1 cannot learn that any of the masters have made offers to the men. The inhabitants of the town, not concerned directly in the trade, are generally elated with the promising as- pect of affairs, and will be glad of any event that will put an enil to the present unnatural state of things— Workmen and children continue to leave Bradford for other places.— Leeds intelligencer. ADVANCE IN WRITING PAPER A meeting of the Kentish paper manufacturers was held a few days since at Maidstone, at which it was resolved, in consequence of the present Inadequate prices, that a further advance of 7| per cent, should commence on the 1st. instant. The raw materials have long been getting up and the jour- neymen have lately turned out for an advance of wages, to which the masters were obliged to accede. The present measure makes the advance on paperttearly 20 percent, within the last four months. APOTHECARIES' FEES FOR ATTENDANCE In a Cause lately tried in the Court of Common Pleas (" Hel- sham v. German") the important question was decided respecting the right of apothecaries to charge for attend- ances, in addition to the medicines. The action was brought against the Executors of Robert Barnes, Esq. of Alile- cnd, for the amount of a bill of £ 150 for medi cines and attendance furnished to him and his servants for several years. It was proved in evidence, that Air. Helsham hail neglected his business entirely, and devoted his time to the ileceased, under a promise of remunera- tion ; but On furnishing the account, payment for the at- tendances was refused, and the amouut for medicines £ 76 ultimately paid into Court. However a verdict for £ 50 7s. Oil- was awarded to plaintiff, thus establishing the right of an apothecary to recover a remuneration for time. The result of this trial will he favourable to the community. A medical man should not he obliged to trust to the swallowing of nauseous anil unnecessary po- tions for remuneration, when a consistent diet, regulated temperature, and a careful observation of the constitution, would suffice for the re- establishment of health. In the Criminal Court at Wexford, on Tuesday week, the gravity ofthe spectators was disturbed by a curious ex- pression used by a culprit, who, on " being sentenced to seven years'transportation, audaciously exclaimed to the Judge ( Johnson)—" Well, my Lord, when I come back I shall biing you a monkey to scratch your wig!"

At four o'clock tbe porter knocked at the room door, and. receiving 110 answer, again knocked in a louder manner. Tit" knocking, however, not. being attended to, he retired to inquire whether any other person was placed in the same room. Finding there was not, he returned, opened the door, and found the unfortu- nate young gentleman lying, undressed, upon his lip. ek, upon the floor and insensible. The porter called his master, and immediately procured ajiurseon, who found the vital spark had fled. From the impression on Ihe bed and pillow, it ap- peared that Mr. Fell had lain in it some time, and that pro- bably, upon being seized with indisposition, he hud got up to call for assistance. Mr. Fell was in the* prime of life, ( we believe about 46,) llad attained considerable eminence in his profession ns a barrister, and was deservedly much esteemed by the gentlemen ofthe profession and a large circle of friends, • WW— SHMlllT—" POSTSCRIPT.

The rainbow hues of bliss are o'er, Thy spirits playing in their glee, And bright their beams of joy they pour To gild life's jubilee. The spotless— pure— but fleeting hour,— The best— the direst iu our pow'r: The hour of joys unstain'd and bright— Of lofty thought nnd during act — Of aspirations doom'd to blight- As down life's cataract The force of passion sweeps us on, When innocence and peace are goin: Tbn hour when deadliest nre the woes Which crush tbe spirit's young desires— AY hell direful i » the damp vice throws O'er virtue's soon- querich'd fires, And glories— oh distressing thought!— la tbe destraction it hath wrought. How oft, the dew- bespangled rose Is rudely dash'S by sweeping wind ! How oft the stem where beauty blows Conceals the thorn behind, To call those bitter feelings up That doom has mingled in our cap : But so it is:— the brightest mom That ushers in an April day— As if our fondest hopes to scorn, And ehase our dreams away— Remind us oft, by chilling sbow'rs, That life has thorns as well as flow'ru. But oh! I cannot, dearest, think That woes are treasur'd up for thee— That bitter potions thou must drink From this life's troubled sea— That sorrow shall usurp the throne Which innocence hntb made its own.

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.— COBBETT AND O'CONNELL. cFrom the Dublin Evening Mail, July 27. At length the veil has been torn from the face of Mr. O'Connell, and he stands confessed as great a political Cheat as ever disgraced a Country. It is well known that a long and intimate connexion has subsisted between Mr. Cohbett and Mr. O'Connell, and the following extracts from his last Register, which contains an Address to the Roman Catholics of Ireland, will prove that in depicting the Leader— " He best can paint him, who has known him most." He commences by lamenting that the Roman Catholics should be again 30 willing to " lend an ear to those who had betrayed them," meaning the Leaders. The follow, ing description of the " New Association is not bad " Well, then, this Association has nothing of Roman Catholic belonging to it. It is a combination of men aim- ing at power, and honours, and emoluments; not for the sake of the Catholic religion, but for the sake- of those • things themselves. If they will join with men who openly profess that they do not believe in the divinity of Christ, what becomes of all their professions about religion ? They have been told many times, that they were seeking these things under the name of religion; and they- seem resolved not any longer lo expose themselves tothat accusation— One thing is, however, pretty certain; and that is, thai thes new Association will really do nothing but make a great number of very useless speeches. The intention seems to have been, to invent something that should rise to an abundance of talk. If there were no mischief attend- ing this talk, I should have seen no necessity for noticing the thing at all. But there is mischief in it; and there will be mischief in it, unless it be speedily put an end to by the good sense of the country." But as M r. Cobbett's main object appears to be to " shew up" Mr. O'Connell, we pass over the intervening sub- jects to come to the Leader. " It is, too, not a little surprising, that the very same men who took the lead before, should now take the lead again, though Mr. O'Connell himself now denounces, as detestibje and horrible, those very measures which he be- iore eulogised, to which measures he assented, and with respect to which measures he besought the Association not to say a word, lest they should thereby prevent them from being carried into effect! " But there is something belonging to these measures, to those wings, to this intended disfranchisement and / bribery ; there is something belonging to these which must not be passed over lightly, cost what it may to my feelings or lo those of anybody else. I have before me, in reports, published in The Morning Chronicle, as copied from Dub- lin newspapers, or transmitted hither for the purpose of publication, speeches made by Daniel O'Connell, first at a Catholic Meeting of the parish of St.' Audeon, Dublin - second, at a Catholie meeting at the Corn- Exchange third, at the Aggregate meeting for receiving the Report relative to the new Catholic Association. It would be impossible for nie, it'the desire to do it were ever sa strong, to characterize these speeches, and therefore I will not attempt it. I will content myself with merely stating the substance of a part of these speeches. coinparing that substance with Mr. O'Connell's declarations; and when I have done that, I will leave you to judge whether this be a man in whom you ought in future to repose confidence." After going through a history of some recent events upon which we have already offered our observations, and of which our readers are in full posessession, he exclaims " Now, then, let me put it to your good sense, Catho- lics of Ireland, whether this be a man for you to confide • in again." By many degrees the most important disclosure made 111 these important times follows, and we entreat of our readers, and those of the Roman Catholie persuasion in particular, to look at the real character of that, man in whom they have put their trust. A character not drawn by an angry assailant, or a violent political adversary, but • liy a friend and a partner— one " privy to'his whole course of acting.;" and who brings, to his performance of the task, a knowledge of facts with which few hut himself could have been acquainted.:— " It is a very disagreeable duty for me to perform, to give the true history of Mr. O'Connell's conduct in Eng- land— but a duty it is, and perform it I will. Mr. O'Con- nell had been, at the time when he came to England, re- cently prosecuted hy Mr. Plunkett, on a charge of crimi- nal and seditious libel. Mr. O'Connell, when he arrived, " found a Bill before the Parliament for the extinguishment of that Association— a Bill which he now calls by every name that is vile, aflixing to It every epithet descriptive of injustice and tyranny. He knew that it was a Bill suggested by the Irish Government, and he knew, in fact, that Mr. Plunket must have been the principal author of the Bill. Yet, we were, in a very short time, even while that " Algerine Bill," as he and others now call it— at the very time that this Bill was passing, we found Mr. • O'Connell, all at once, pouring forth his whole soul in praises 011 this very Mr. Piunket, and we found him even pledging himself to the people uf Ireland, that Mr. Plun- ket was sincere and indefatigable in their cause. " This seemed to be most wonderful. It was a change so sudden that it surprised all men. Take, then, the facts. It was Mr. O'Connell who sought the first interview with Mr. Plunket. The fact is almost enough of itself. While Mr. O'Connell and several others of the Deputies were sitting under the gallery of the House of Commons, hearing the violent attacks upon the Catholic Association Mr. Plunket, quitting his place in the House, came up to Mr. O'Connell, asked, him how he did, told him lhat he had received a message from him, saying that he wanted to speak with him. Mr. O'Connell answered, that he wanted to see him upon a piece of legal business of a private nature! Strange, that lawyers should have interviews upon their professional business in this sort of way. Strange, that this professional affair should have occurred just at this critical moment! However, thus it was, M r. Plunket offered to meet his new friend at the hotel where the latter lodged; but the latter preferred Mr. Pluukct's own house, that was the rendezvous Jived on. " Now, this was a very strange proceeding. It made some of the Deputies slare. However, see Mr. O'Connell going to the house of Mr. Plunket, and see if you can, if you be an Irish Catholic, and have been accustomed to chaunt the praises of Mr. O'Connell, his high spirit, his frankness and sincerity ; see him if you can, creeping into the house of Mr. Plunket, without feeling your cheeks . fciirn with shame. What passsd between thes's two ut thai house again, and took I- ord Killeen, the Chairman of the Deputies, along with him. At this meeting the wings were proposed. ' Lord Killeen and Mr, O'Connell returned to the Deputation, and told them what had been proposed. Upon some one asking whether they had assented to such impositions. Mr. O'Connell answered " yea;" on which Lord Killeen said, " I did not assent;" The truth is, Mr. Cobbett has been too mueh behind the scenes— he- has been let too much Into the secret, and lo! here it is— 1 One thing more, - and 1 think the whole mystery is explained. Mr. O'Connell, at the time when he called upon thei Catholic Association to give no opinion relative to the wings until he returned to Ireland ; when he called upon them to believe that their old enemies were worthier and better men than their passions allowed them to think; when he called upon them to abstain from all attacks upon those whom they had deemed their enemies, and especially when he told them that Mr. Plunket was doing all that man could do for them, and more perhaps than any man except himself could do. Mr. O'Connell had, at this very time, as I believe, obtained a patent of precedency in the Courts, in case the Catlwlic Billshould passt That is lo say, a patent front the King, putting him as high as a Barrister, as he would have bijen; if he ho: l nevur laboured under any disqualification J If this be true, whut more do ne want? Is there any thing else necessary to explain this wonderful mystery? I say that" I belieme. it to he. true;, and I believe it to be true, iecause Mr. Shkl told me so, and he told me so the 1 Oth of March." Now Roman Catholics what say ye? Panders of Mr. O'Connell what say ye to this ? Here is a plain and naked fact, with names, dates, and circumstances.; nay more, with a reference to a third person. Mr. O'Connell has read it, aye, and has written upon it, and as we would fain do justice to all parlies, here follows his letter upon the subject, published ia the Morning Register of yes- terday :— " I have seen my friend Cobbett's last publication. What a strange creaiure it is! If I had leisure I think I would laugh a little at him by way of reply. 1 wish he would deprive me of my ' Leadership' amongst the Ca- tholics. I assure him it is a very troublesome commodity; but 1 cannot lose it on allegations, which happens to have tbe poetical quality of invention, or the less amiable one ofcomplete distortion." And is it thus Mr. O'Connell gets rid of as foul an ac- cusation as was ever brought agamst man !— We pledge ourselves that the above is every word he has published in reply " Friend Cobbett."—" Strange creature."—" Laugh a little at him by way of reply." " Risu inepto res inep- tior nulla est." The proverb is somewhat musty, and be- sides if there be any laughter in this case, it must be the cackle of a convicted knave, not the. giggle of an uncon- scious fool— the laugh is more than " silly." After all the praise bestowed by Mr. Cobbett on Mr. O'Connell, and all the fulsome adulation offered by Mr. O'Connell to the " fine animal," he thinks some explana- tion necessary for this exposure and attack— anil the fol- lowing he thinks quite sufficient. Whether the friends and admirers of Mr. O'Conriell will be of the same opi- nion, is another matter. Such as it is, we consider it right to give— " It is by no means a pleasant task to have to make exposures like this with regard to persons of whom we have thought highly, and of whose conduct we have thought it our duty to speak in" terms of unbounded praise. Bui there is no inconsistency in a change of opi- nion founded in a change of the conduct of the party of whom we have thought well. Before I knew Mr. O'Con- nell personally, a transaction had, indeed, taken place, which might, and which ought to have operated as a warning. I had read of Mr. O'Connell's even beset- ting and besieging the King with adulation such as His Majesty had hardly ever received even from the most crouching of scvophants, at a moment, too, when the un- fortunate and ill- lreated Queen's corpse was making Eng- lishmen weep from Hammersmith to Harwich. At the Freemasons' Tavern I heard him Say, that, when at that melancholy season for England, he saw his own country, men, making one of them himself, gathered in hundreds of thousands round their Sovereign, and saw the tearef manly sensibility glisten in his eye. Hearing this, I had the mortification to recollect, that, at the moment when circumstances seemed io promise long life mid prosperity to that ill- fated lady, this very Mr. O'Connell had expressed his wish to be made Attorney. General to her Majesty in Ire- land. The application came through a friend of Mr. O'Connell. I, at the request of thai friend, made the ap- plication to Mr. Alderman Wood; and Mr. Alderman Wood gave the thing ihe go- by in some way orother which I have now forgotten. One word more, and we have done. This article con- siderably exceeds in length those to which we generally give insertion ; hut the subject is s. i important, and the exposure so complete, that we have thought it an act of duty to the public, to lay these extracts before them: and the same feeling impels us to give Mr, Cobbetl's ! conclusion— " This anecdote" ( the affair of the Queens) " may be said to have no connexion at all with the subject before- ae, but I think it has such connexion. If Mr. O'Connell had conducted himself with the smallest degree of modesty; if he had shown any respect to the feelings of any body ; if he had not resumed his dictatorial tone, and with addi. tional arrogance; this anecdote, and all the other facls that I have stated, might have remained, for me, in ever- lasting oblivion ; but when he ( Mr. O'Connell j again puts himself forward as a leader; when he again beeomes the dictator; when he goes and browbeats the modest and vir- tuous inhabitants of a parish, and turns their chapel Into a scene of bullying; when, in short, I see him preparing the way for a renewed course of deception, and probably, a new, series of discontent, heart- burning, and vindictive deeds, merely for the gratification of the wrath arising from his thwarted and disappointed selfish ambition ; when " I see this, it is my duty to speak out; it is my duty to state facts; it is my duty to call upon him for an. explicit de- nial, if he can give it, » or to bid him, for ever, hereafter, to hold his. tongue." AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JULY. June closed amidst flying showers, and after the pre- vious period of fine dry weather, 1 much rain was expected. This idea however has not been realized. The little rain that fell was just sufficient . to discolour and injure 111 some degree the hay that remained ready for carting, without being sufficient lo . moisten or relax the soil or materially assist the growing crops. A drier July, or more intensely hot al periods, has seldom . perhaps been remembered ; and the effect of the solar heat has been aggiavated by a parching wind from the North and East, and by the absence of those heavy dews which sometimes during summer nights refresh the vegetable wet ld. " It is hardly worthy of notice, as an exception to this general . statement, that a few heavy showers have here and there been partially fell, because even where they did occur, they were insufficient to produce any lasting effect on the parehcd and burning state of the soil. This scorching July, following a drought continued with tittle intermis- sion through several months, has been productive of some results materially affecting the interests of farmers. One of the first and most obvious has been that the water meadow and other late growths of hay have been col- leeted in unexampled fine order; the hulk, perhaps, less than usual, but the quality superior. But, onsffce other hand, the pastures and upland meadows are dried up, summer tares are withered and unproductive, and the second growth of clover, is appropriated, where it exists, to- the feeding of cattle, instead of being left to a latter cut of hay. All hope of a crop of turnips on the gene- rality of soils is now irretrievably lost, and to our present distress and embarrassment as to the immediate support of live stock, especially on upland sheep walks, is added the prospective difficulty of finding food for thein during the winter. The Swedes and forward turnips that have been hoed are very commonly withering away, excepton some superior sails, and of the main general sowing, the seed has never vegetated. Thus situated il cannot be a matter of surprise that live stock of all kinds is declining in price, and that sales are effected with a difficulty although the prices that are still realized, especially for lambs, show that the demand for stock under other circumstances would considerably exceed the supply. With respect to pulse and oorn, beans and peas are very generally un- favourably reported ; the appearance of the oat crop has of late altered for the worse ; it has in manysinstances suf- fered from excessive drough, and the grain is likely to be thin and light, the husk containg merely a parched diminutive kernel. Much of the backward sown barley, it was thoaght at ene period, could never have struggled oat into ear, but during the last fortnight the influence at' the almost tropical days and nights we experienced affected it in a manner that could hardly have been antici. pated, and caused even the latest sown, where the tilth was { necessarily imperfect, to take a start and spring into epr in a most surprising and unexpected manner. But the continuance of this parching - weather ia.' fast withering it at the root, and a very considerable por- tion of the barley crop must- tbe quite light and inferior both in bulk and straw, and in quantity anihquality of grain. The early sown, in warm situations, is fast turning off, and will be ripe ( prematurely so in many cases.) so as to follow directly after the wheat harvest, which has com- menced for nearly a fortnight in the southern counties, and is now pretty generally in progress throughout the - kingdom. The accounts of this essential crop are univer- sally favourable. Providence has provided this noble , grain, the staff of man's life, with the means of resisting the severest drought. It draws its nourishment from sources which the sun and wind ean never dry up. Its fibrous roots have been traced by an able, and enlightened agriculturist of Oxfordshire, penetrating through various strata to- a depth of six feet below the surface of the earth; and a specimen selected, with roots, straw, and ear com- plete, - was inclosed by the late Sir Joseph Banks, in a glass tube, hermetically sealed, for the inspection of the curious or incredulous. We need not wonder then that this hot, dry July has perfected what the tine blooming season of June began, and given n- is an abundant crop of wheat, full in body, generally free from blight or smut, and by no means deficient in straw. A few partial excep- tions that occur were owing to some frosty nights in June; • the blossoms have never been developed, and some of the capsules of the ear are found empty. General report, however, represents the wheat crop as above an average one;; and if this dry weather continues another. fortnight, a considerable portion of it will be housed in the highest order— but agrkohe cimtrarium eft pastoris • proposition, said Columella-; and 60 il is now— if we have dry weather for our wheat harvest, our cattle and sheep will be starved for want of grass, and in some places for want of water; and all hope of seeing a turnip for winter, or even spring feed, will totally have vanished. Hot days aud nights have done little " or nothing for the hop- plantations— ver- min and disease had taken too faslhold on them. Some of tfie best grounds in the richest soils will produce a few hun- dreds, but many gardens will be totally unproductive. — The wool trade isstill in a state of abeyance. Nothing can be gathered from the result of the fair at Thetford, except that Mr. Cbke sold his wool, as he is annually re- ported to do, at a price which nobody else can realize— Prices will not assume anything cf a business- like form, until staplers aud dealers have concluded the skirmish- ing, in which they indulge preparatory to opening the re- gular compaign. They are still busily engaged in running down the young, the inexperienced, uninformed, or ne- cessitous farmer, which amusing occupation in some of the midland counties, where the prevalence of good land and extensive fox- hunting establishments have created an odd jumble of farming and sporting, ideas, is whimsically and uncourteously enough termed " cub- hunting." I11 pursuit of this illegitimate sport, a farmer may be per- mitted to hope lhat the staplers may have many blank days; or instead of a " cub," meet with an old fox that will give ; them the go- by, and throw them all out. SHREWSBURY, 30Hi JULY, 1825. ( THE KING v. HARRISON- This was a quo warranto to try by what right the defendant, who is Mayor of the ancient city of Chester, held that office. . Mr. CAMI'HO. I. was for the prosecution. Mr. TAUNTON claimed the precedence in stating his case to the Jury, he having to support the present defend- ant ill his possession ot' the office in question ; and the Learned Gentleman addressed the Jury. The first ques- tion in the case was, whether the mode in which the de- fendant was elected and appointed to'the office of Mayor, was in obedience to immemorial usuage^ or whether the mode of selecting that officer was te be in strict and ex- clusive obedience to a charter of Henry the 7th. The second question was incidental to, and arising out of, the first. It was, whether, when the Corporation of Chester accepted Henry the 7th's Charter, they did not receive it partially, and still retained to themselves their own ancient practice ef electing the Mayor according to the immemorial usage they had been in the habit of adopting; and rejected that dictatorial part which directed the elec- tion of Mayor to be by the majority of Aldermen. An immense number of old records, brought from the proper munimental custody of the Corporation of Chester, were produced, to shew the immemorial usage adopted in the election of the Mayor of that City; by which it ap- peared that the election of the Mayor took place from the presence of so many A ldermen as chose to attend in some instances. Among other records there was a presentment which shewed, that a woman named Alice, as early as the year 1399, had been convicted 111 the city of Chester as a forestaller and regrater, by the Mayor, Aldermen, & c. of that ancient city, for selling butter in the market, before the time allowed by the Corporation, and heavily fined. This record was produced to show the existence of the office of Mayor at that early period. Another curious document was a sort of writ directed by Edward 3d to the Mayor ami good men of the ancient city of Chester, bear- ing date 23( 1 of May, 4th Edward 3d, commanding them to have two good and sufficient ships well manned, equip- ped, & c. to proceed against the " Scotch Traitor, Robert de Bruce." Several witnesses were called lor the defence, who proved that the number of Alderinen belonging to the Corporation was 24, and that the Mayor was always elected by as many as attended out of that number, who seldom amounted to seven or eight, and never exceeded nine or tec. The defendant was elected lo his office in this way, Mr. CAMPBELL for the prosecution, in adverting- to- tlie documentary evidence produced, took - some pride to him- selfin being from the same country as the immortal Bruce. He co'ntemled strongly, that the charter of Henry VII., pointed out that the Mayor was to be elected by the ma- jority of the Aldermen, and that charter having been ac- cepted by the Corporation, the defendant was bound by it- He had been elected to his office by a minority of the Aldermen, and consequently by the charter that election was void. The Learned Counsel said, he wished to know the opinion of the Jury, whether they thought the evidence adduced established to their satisfaction that there had been an immemorial and peculiar mode in electing the Mayor, different from that mode suggested hy the Charter. An inlimation of their opinion might pre- vent, the necessity of his going on. The Foreman of the Jury, after consulting with the other Jurors, said, Ihey were of opinion that there had been 110 immemorial usage proved, and therefore found for the Crown. Mr, TAUNTON begged the LearnedHudget ( Mr. Baron Garrow,) lo take a note of the circumstance, that mo proof had been given of the Charter of Henry 7th. The Iiearned Baron said he would do- so ; and that ill Quo Warranto cases he alwavsmade apractice of taking an unusually lull . note. MARKET HERALD. CORN- EXCHANGE, Monday Jug. 1.

Daniel Game, a private soldier of the 58th Regiment, was indicted for the wilful murder of John - Muugan, another soldier in the same regiment, on the lGth July, at Dungarvon, ; n this county. It appearediroth the evidence that the parties had been intimate friends. Oil the day in question the prisoner was going to parade, and the deceased at first refused to accompany him, but being persuaded by the prisoner was afterwards induced to go. The deceased returned home from parade a few minutes before the prisiner, who went into the room where the deceased was sitting alpne. They remained together for a short time, when they were ob- served by the people of the house to come out each with his firelock. They , went into a garden at some distance frouvthe house, and having taken their places, presented . their muskets at each other. The gun of the deceased missed fire, and the prisoner's went off. Immediately after they returned to the house together, went into the room without saying a word, continued there for some time without sjjeaking, but a noise was heard as if of the ramming down a charge with a ramrod. After a tew mi- nutes they came out wilh their guns as before, aud having returned to the garden, resumed ihe same positions they had occupied previously, and having again presented at each other, the prisoner's shot took effect before the de- ceased fired. The deceased was wounded in the neck, and liyeil but a few moments. The prisoner then returned to the house, and shortly after two of his companions came in and asked what was the matter ; when the pri- soner said, " I have shot Mungan—. take me a prisoner— % am willing to die for it." The prisoner stated in his defence, Hbat on the day in question he went into the room where the deceased was sitting, when the latter, who appeared to he oftended at something, said, You must come out and fight me."— The prisoner replied, " Oh no, we have been always friends, why should we fight? and," said the prisoner, addressing himself to the Court, " 1 did not wish to fight him, for we had been together in til? West Indie's, and he was a good man." Deceased said, if he did mst fight him he would run him through with his bayonet. They at length agreeil to tight, and deceased gave the word of command—" Make ready.:— present— fire-!" Deceased's gun missed fire, and the" prisoner'fired over his head. De- ceased, hoive\ « K, was 110I satisfied, and insisted on their fighting again, ' iliev returned to the house, and deceased put li new Hint and fresh priming in his gun. The pri- soner then re- loaded his murfket, and both went out again, when tha deceased gave the word as before, and he was shot throw the neck. The prisoner declared most so- lemnly, that at the tent? he did not wish to hurt him, but would rather have died for him. The Jury, after a most able charge from laird Chief . Justice BtrsME, brought in a verdict of MnnitaugMer, and Uie. jirisuner was sentenced to be transported ior life. After the prisoner had been removed from the bar, the Rev. J. Lund, Chaplain to the Gaol, attended upon him, and, as he had done before, endeavoured to impress his mind with a due sense of his awful condition, and by peni tence and prayer to implore the forgiveness of his God At four fl'clock the unhappy man was visited by the fiev. J. Hanwell, ofthe Methodist Connexion, who found him in an agony of grief. He said he had no malice against any one, hilt thought he had been so great a sinner. thatGod would not have mercy on him. On Tuesday afternoon his father, mother, and other relatives, together with his wife and child, were permitted to^ take a last farewell of him. During the interview he appeared tolerably com- posed ; he took the child out of its mother's arms and embraced it, while the infant patted him upon the face, quite unconscious of what was about lo take place- At parting, the father and the son both went to prayer. Mr. Lund and Mr. Hanwell spent the greater part ofthe night with the prisoner. Soon after eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, the Sacrament was administered to the unfortunate man, and he joined in the solemn service with much fervour. A few minute3; before lie was summoned for execution, lie kneft down, and besought the . l. ord earnestly to have mercy on his soul, and to prepareihim for the trying mo- ment. At ten o'clock he was brought- out of prison, placed in a cart, with his fetters on, and conducted lo the place of execution, on Gallows Hill. As the solemn proces- sion moved along, an immense multitude collected from all ) mrts, and the road all the way seemed to present one dense mass of people, many of whom expressed commisera- tion for his fate, on account ofhis youth. .[ It is high time that an en. l was put to processions of this kind, which oc- casion- Birch a shock to the feelings of all who are com- pelled lo witness them . Surely it is practicable to erect a drop, either at the House of Correction, or elsewhere, as is done in other large towns;] The culprit ' kept his evas closed nearly sih the way. At the gallows lie ves attended by the Rev. Chaplain and Mr. Ilanwell,. and he joined i « '. the last sad offices with great fervency. While the rope was adjusting, he appeared so weak arid exhausted that it became necessary to support him. Previous io beingturned off, bespoke ta the executioner to put him out of his misery a « speeiftly as possible. The cart was then drawn away, ami he was left suspended with his fetters on. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, and taken to the infirmary, for dissection.— Sfoltingh& m Journal. BiTHWG— Many individuals lose llieir lives inconsf- qeence of raising their arms above water, the unhoved weight of whieh depress the head. Animals have neither notionuor ability- to act in a similar manner, and therefore swim naturally. When a person falls into deep water, he generally rises to the surface, and continues there, if he does not elevate his hands; or should he move his hands under wateriin any manner he pleases Ilis head will rise so high as- to allow him free liberty to breath ; and if he move his legs as ill th? act of walking ( or rather as if walk- ing up stairs.) his shoulders will rise above water, so that he may use less exertion with his hands, or apply them to other purposes.

A great many debts were admitted to proof, and the utmost anxiety was manifested, it being generally supposed that another dividend of 3s. 4d. in the pound would have been declared, and that the ' Bank of England would have waived its claim 011 the es- tate. The application which had heen made to the Lord Chancellor to restrain this payment, excited considerable apprehension. In this state of uncertainty, Mr. Montagu entered the room— sileneewas immediately obtained, and every one. felt anxious to hear his observations. Mr. Mon- tagu said, the Lord Chancellor had ordered that the meet- ing should be adjourned till Tuesday . se'nnight, and in ihe mean time his l. ordship requested that the assignees would report to the Commissioners whether there was sufficient outstanding property to meet the claim of the Bank, in case a decision should be made in their favour. This pro- ceeding must necessarily occupy a considerable time, as the accounts are very voluminous. A gentleman of this town, who has been in the habit of visiting Tonbridge Wells every season for some years,:' in- forms us that he was much surprised at the frequent repe- tition, in the church there, of the Psalm beginning " Mount Zion is a pleasant place,'.' which words life clerk always delivered with peculiar emphasis'.
