From the detail which hits been pub- lished of the last Quarter's Revenue, it may be Conjectured, that, upon the wind- ing- up of the financial annual accounts, there will be a disposable surplus, above the produce of last year, of nearly two millions. The most important question now is, what will become of this large disposable surplus in the hands of Ministers ? How is it to be employed in the diminution of the public burdens ? To this question we return a short and easy answer. Employ the surplus of. the year in removing what remains of the Window Tax, or in taking off, altogether, the House Tax. We have so frequently, pointed out the burden and impolicy of this description of tax, that we have now, on this part of our subject, nothing new to add to our former observations. If we were asked to give a short definition of a bad and impolitic tax, we should say, that a bad tax had three characteristics: that it was obnoxious to the feelings; was unequally burdensome ; and impeded the progress of improvemetit, and the encou- ragement of industry, in the mechanical classes. Now, all these effects unite in the House and Window Tax. No taxes are certainly more obnoxious to the feelings than the Window and House Tax; because the necessary assessment and levying of it introduces the tax- collector into our private houses; and because that tax- collector being our neighbour, and armed with the authority of the law, does not always make his demand in the most civil and mild manner. It is likewise unequally burden- some, for how heavily does it fall upon that numerous class of poor housekeepers who live by letting lodgings ! How op- pressive is it in large commercial and ma- nufacturing towns to the lower description of shopkeepers and tradesmen ! And certainly no tax so effectually impedes the employment of capital in house » buildittg 5 for though the building speculations are very active at present, how much greater would be their activity and spirit, and what a different kind of houses we should see in every comfort of residence and en- joy ruent, if these taxes tfere wholly re- moved ! These taxes, moreover, have a still further ill effect; they drive numerous families of small fortunes abroad, and cause their incomes to he expended in the support of foreign industry- It is well known that Mr. Huskisson, and the part of t he Cabinet who are over- zealous advocates for free trade, wish to take off the indirect taxes still further. They argue that this mode of reduction is most beneficial to the country at large. We are not disposed to deny, in the fuce ofthe accounts before us, that a reduced duty may not so augment the demand and consumption of an article, us to tender the produce under the lower rate of duty equal to its original amount upon the higher rate. But 111 this event, winch ha3 been the fortunate circumstance attending the repeal of part of the wine and spirit duty, the public Revenue loses nothing; by the reduction of duty, and therefore any surplus becomes unappropriated. The necessary conclusion is, that the Govern- ment will not want any surplus for sucht purpose, judging from the late progress of the Revenue upon articles of reduced taxation in the Customs and Excise, and therefore the two millions of the present year's surplus may be most properly em- ployed in the reduction of the Assessed Taxes. We trust, therefore, that the Ministry will avail themselves of this opportunity to make themselves popular with all classes, and therefore pave the way for a general election universally in their favour. Of this we are indeed certain, that nothing would make them more acceptable to the people at large upon the approaching dis- solution of Parliament. The House and Window Tax are paid by almost every respectable housekeeper in the kingdom. VVe are fully persuaded that many of our countrymen will return to this country upon a repeal of this tax, who are now expending their incomes amongst foreigners. In some small fami- lies the annual amount of the House nnd Window Tax exceeds the annual amount of the baker's bill, and is paid with so much more grudging, as there is no ap- parent value for the amount. There is no tax, in a word, which renders distressed and embarrassed people so disaffected io the Government, and which tails more hardly and severely upon a very large class of housekeepers in cities and towns. We trust, therefore, that after this year it will' cease for ever, and that an English- man's house will in fact, as well as in words, become his castle.

HciUSvfr.— On Monday last, the inmates of the old Aims- Houses, which, from the decayed state of the buildings, had become little better than a nuisance, were retrieved to ihe new and ( of the kind) elegant dwellings recently erected on the opposite side of St. Mary's Street. These, at present, fifteen in number, have been erected at au expense, we believe, altogether of £ 1500, and reflect much credit upon the good taste and liberality of the members of this ancient and respectable Company, who, whilst thus em- ploying thefr funds in a truly philanthropic manner, have at the aafiie lime made a very great improve- ment in a part of ihe town where tt was much wanted. The design of the new Alms Houses was by Mr. J. Carljne, jun, and we can only regret lhat any cause should have arisen to prevent the present completion of a plan which adds credit to his known talent; we still hope, however, that ere long the obstacle, whatever it may be, that pre- vents the end house being erected, will he removed. To prevent any impropriety of conduct in the inmates of the Alms- Houses, or any nuisances being committed by them, excellent regulations have been made by the Drapers' Company, and will he strictly enforced. Shrewsbury House of Industry. On Monday last, pursuant to the Notice in- serted in our last Journal, a Special Assembly of Ihe Guardians look place at the House, to consider of the propriety of accepting Mr. Beck's offer for purchasing Ihe Banky Field, containing nearly 5 Acres, the property of the Corporation of Guardians. Mr. Taylor, as Chairman of the Directors, stated, lhat they had endeavoured to learn the opinion of the Guardians as to the proposed pur- chase and sale. Some were of opiniou that Mr. Beck's offer of £ 1500 for the land in question ought to be accepted ; others thought that, a6 it was doubtful whether the Corporation would not he dissolved, and the property sold for other pur- poses, it was not improbable that the land would be of greater value' in that event, and therefore » ht not If) be sold for less than £ 1800; and there were others who thought that, under all Ihe cir cumsiauces, the property should not, at present, be sold at all. A resolution according with the last opinion was moved by Mi. Hazledine, who said, as Lord Clive and Mr. J A. LLoyd had chosen Mr. Childe to act with them on behalf of one of the parties, aud as they were shortly to meet Lord Forester, Ihe Hon. Cecil Jenkinson, and ihe Hon. Thomas Kenyoti, who were appointed on behalf of the other parties, lo arrange what was to be done relative to Ihe affairs of the United Parishes, he thought lhat no part of Ihe property should be disposed of at present— This motion was seconded, but was afterwards withdrawn. The question was then put as to whether £ 1500 should be taken for the field, or whether £ 1800 should be required; when 12 Guardians voted for requiring £ 1800, and 15 that £ 1500 was Ihe full value. It was accordingly resolved that Mr. Heck's offer of £ 1500' shoiild he accepted ; and that, if he signified his acceptance of the title before the 19lh of November, the appeal in opposition lo his diverting the footway from the Hanwood Road to Kingsland, the hearing of which stands fixed for the 22d November, should be abandoned. Among the Guardians who voted on this occa- sion was Mr. W. Whalley, whose vote was rejected on tlie ground that he was not assessed AT £ 15 a year; and we believe il has been hitherto generally considered hy Directors and others that persons ho were not rated AT £ 15 a year are not qualified to act or vote as Guardians— Notwith- standing this general idea, we have no hesitation iu saying, however blundering and confused the Act of Incorporation may be ih other respects, it is clear enough in this, lhat not only Mr. Whallev, but every other Rate- payer iu ihe United Parishes whose annual Rent is £ 15 a year or. upwards, is qualified to act and vote as a Guardian of the Poor.

Mr. BOLLAND, in stating the case, remarked upon the weak state of the defendant's mind, which, he observed, the Jury would of course take into con- sideration. It appeared that the libel complained of was contained in what purported to be a proclamation issued by the defendant. He had several written copies of this, . which he was observed pasting up in different parts of Whitehall,' under proclamations issued by bis Majesty. Reynolds, an officer, noticing the number of reader? which these papers attracted, and not being himself much of a scholar, called in the assistance of a black man belonging to the band of the Foot Guards, who was passing at the time, and he read the proclamation as follows " I, Christopher Dickenson, having suffered near ten years through a law most unjust and tyrannical ; aud having, for near seven years, made applications to his Majesty, the Ministers, and Parliamentary Gentlemen, for redress • and having received no answer, therefore I now issue my edict. 1 proclaim that his Majesty has maintained a law unjust and inequitable, and lhat he has not caused law and justice to be executed according to the oath taken by him at his Curotiuliou. I prohibit George Ihe fourth, commonly called King, from any kmger reigning ; and I command that the next heir be pro- claimed King in his stead. 14 Given at Shrewsbury this 28th of Sept. by me4 " CHRISTOPHER DICKENSON." Reynolds s'ated that lie considered this M complete high treason," aud he immediately followed the defendant, and had him taken into custody. Mr. Dickenson, being called upon for his defence, asked for the papers which had beer! taken from him These were different copies of the libel. They were returned to him ; but he stated that he had nothing further to say, after he had read them to the Court. The case then went to the Jury, who returned the following verdict :—" Guilty ; but the Jury did not consider the defendant of sound mind at the time be published the proclamation." Senteuce was deferred. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION, AT the ANNUAL GEXERAL Mttfii i of the Subscribers to Ihe SC^^ L O^ ARTS ( Eoti* BURGH), held in the '^ Wmterlob Tavern, on Tuesday, the 7lh of Jiin^ j — the Right Hon. ALEXANDER HENDKRSOS|, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, in the Chair: The He v. Dr. THOMSON rose, and ( after moving; that the Report be printed and cir culaled among the Subscribers), said— MY LORD,— I will crave the liberty, as this is the first time I have taken an active part in the proceedings of the Institution, of statiug a few circumstances which have led me as an individual, all along, to give it my cordial support. I need not speak of the great and primary purposes for which this Institution has been founded. These are obvious to all, and it must afford the highest satisfaction to observe that its success has gone be- yond the expectations of the most sanguine. Among the young mechanics, it serves to bring into view and into operation talents which might have other- wise lain dormant, to improve talents that might otherwise have been but very imperfectly if at all cultivated, to advance the objects of its. care in their professional career, and by these means to spread knowledge and improvement th^ ou^ h the whole olrole of thp Arts and Sciences. Anid in that view it must be regarded by every liberal and enlightened mind as richly deserving- all the snp>. port and encouragement which can be given to it. But there are some other particulars, connected with Institutions of this kind, with respect to whioh j my Lord, I will take the liberty of making a few observations. And first, as it respects Religion, Although the SCHOOL OF ARTS does not directly teach Religion to its Pupils, yet, by invigorating; their faculties and enlarging their information, it serves the double purpose of enabling them to understand the evidences and the truths of religion more easily and thoroughly than they could other- wise have done, and of fortifying them more strongly against those sophistries by which its enemies so often and so fatally perplex the ignorant and the simple. True, — knowledge is not always accompanied with religious principle and religious feeling ; and it is easy to conceive that the advan- tages of this most excellent- Institution, as of any other, may be perverted and , prostituted to the purposes of infidelity and profaneness. But tKis js not the natural aud proper tendency of the I list if u-: tion. Its natural and proper tendency is tocounter actand prevent such evils... We proceedyi& nd we are entitled and bound to proceed, on thfs. ^ u^ poxi- tion, that the young nieh who attend our Institiiaon have been previously well imbued ' withist% ni ity, by the tuition they received under theftiif ® t1 » | roof; that they have been taught its pritifci^ feafat the schools where they got their elementary educa- tion ; and that these principles have been snbsef quently cherished and strengthened in them by the attention of those Ministers under whose pastoral care they have been placed; and then,- my Lord, the intellectual discipline we gfive them, and the course of Study which we encourage them to pursue, will furnish them with the means of cherishing- a more enlightened, a more vigorous, and a more steady faittt, in those great doctrines which consti tute the perfection and the glory of all Science whatever. I need not eay to this meeting that I am con- scientiously and unalterably attached to the Gos- pel ; but I do profess myself to be one of those who nave no apprehensi'o'n— no, not the least or slightest apprehension, that the Gospel could ever suffer from the cultivation of the human intellect. It is from defect and not from excess in this particula that the Gospel can sustain any injury. My creed on that point is simply this— that the more we educate our people, and the higher the style of education is that We give theui, consistently with their situation, their capacities, and their prospects in life, the more effectual do we contribute to the great cause of pure and undefiled religion. This is one reason, my Lord, why I give my support to the SCHOOL OF ARTS.— Then, as it affects Morals, it is of great and essential benefit. We all know that industry is one of the greatest safeguards of moral conduct; and the chief danger in this respect to which those are exposed who have to labour, and who do actually labour diligently for their daily subsistence, arises from the temptations which beset them at their leisure hours.— Being neces sarily so much occupied with objects of sense and so little accustomed to purely mental exercises' when they seek for recreation, they are apt to seek for it in the indulgence of mere appetite ; aiid to this cause I cannot help thinking, is to be attri- buted a very large proportion Of the yjc « and dissipation which prevails among them. Now the SCHOOL OF ARTS, my Lord, operated to rescue them from the power of these temptations, not only by filling np their spare time with innocent and laudable pursuits, but also by providing thembw. ith occupations, which elevate them far a& oy'e tlj. e For the Salopian Journal. To THE TRUSTEES OF THE SALOP INFIRMARY. You are called upon to assemble on the 17th inst. for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the Infirmary, and to adopt such measures as may seem expedient; in other words, to consider the necessity of erecting a new and more convenient building than the present one. This is a subject worthy of your most serious and dispassionate consideration, both as regards the funds necessary for such an undertaking, and, which is not df less importance, the comfort, atten tion paidto, and speedy recovery of, the unfortunate individuals who are under the necessity oiapplying for admission. That the present building is too smalt has been satisfactorily proved, at least to my mind, by the necessity which occurs almost every week of refus- ing in- patients ; and that it is inconvenient must be evident to most of those who have performed their duty as house- visitors, and will, 1 doubt not,^ be confirmed by every medical officer belonging to it. Much of this inconvenience necessarily arises from the circumstance of the building itself having been erected for a private residence, and not for the benevolent objectto which for about eighty years it has been converted. The Salop Infirmary was one of the earliest institutions of the kind out of London, and yet other counties which at first erected build- ings for the specific purpose have within that period erected new ones ; and why not Shropshire do the same ? Sure 1 am that greater zeal for pub- lic or individual welfare, greater benevolence, or a more enlarged spirit of philanthropy, do not ani- mate the bosoms of the inhabitants of any county in Great Britain in a greater degree than they ' do those of the county of Salop ; and I feel confident that when once a determination has been come to, and made generally known, the means for carrying such. determination into effect will not loiug- he wanting. Some persons have, I know, formed an opinion that the institution had funds on hand suffi- cient for the purpose; but this erroneous idea has arisen, from not examining the Report with due care ; they supposing that the sums of £ 12,200 and £ 13,200 in the 3 perCent. Cons, on which dividends were received, were distinct Sums to be added toge ther, and not observing that there was only a sihgh half year's dividend received upou each, the divi dend ou the latter half year being on a greater sum, inasmuch as additional stock had iu the mean time been purchased The total amount of money in hand, calculated at the present price of the funds, does not exceed £ 18,000; and I hope there are few trustees who would wish to see that sum much reduced. At present the dividends and interest arising therefrom form a very important feature in the annual income of this invaluable institution, amounting to nearly one. sixth part of the annual expenditure. To re- duce it in any considerable degree would be highly detrimental, I might say ruinous, to the establish- ment: because if you will refer to the list of subscribers, and compare the total amount of sub seriptions with the annual absolutely necessary expenditure, you will find that the former, without making any allowance for such as are left in arrear or not paid at all, falls short of the latter by up wards of £ 560; thus swallowing up, with the exception of the collection at the anniversary meet- ing and casual legacies or benefactions, the whole existing revenue of the institution. And it ought always to be borne in mind that an institution of this kind cannot well be too rich; for the more ample are its funds the more extended must in all probability be the benefits to be derived from it. It may also, and probably will be questioned, House of Industry is an old building, as also the inconvenience that would arise iu having to take accidents, & c. thereto, I need hardly ask Mr. Clement how he would like to be called upon,, as the Medical Officers, of the Iufirmary have been, to attend some severe accident, or some unexpected emergency , AFTKR DARX, in a rainy or snowy winter's evening,— and then have to walk up to the House of Industry, and this^ or nothing. It would not be very pleasant, and, worst of all, not very profitable — going to the wrong side of Profit and Loss.— Weil, he or another might say, if it is dark and the Weather is bad, or both, tbe Medical Officers all keep horses or carriages, and can ride. True : but again, unless there were a carriage road through 1 the Quarry, which I venture to say will never be ' suffered, it is no trifling distance to go through Colehaui, or almost to Radbrook, to get there, with this necessity to those who go in carriages, that, ih addition to their coachman, they must either take a footman with them, or themselves get out of their carriages, and open, the one way, two gates, or the other three. I think Mr. C. himself, if compelled to do so, would call it one of the 44 Miseries of Human Life ™ and quite enough to give a man the blue devils. I know and respect Mr. Clement too much to suppose for a moment that interested motives could possibly actuate his breast ; but a wicked wag at my left elbow has this moment called my attention to a note at the bottom of his letter, which says, 44 why not exchange houses and in a jocular strain informs me that Mr. C. is medical attendant at the House of Industry* for which, in addition to some other trifles that drop in from attending jiau- pers belonging to foreign parishes, & c. he receives only £ 130 per arinum, ana that it would be no bad thing if ihe journeys up to the House of Industry could, by this exchange of houses, be transferred from those who are paid for g'oing up to those who would have to do it gratis. The paupers, says my friend, would then be more conveniently situated for Mr. C. and as to the Physicians, Surgeons, and their patients, let them manage as well as they can. Several places are mentioned in Mr. C.' s letter, as having their Infirmaries at a greater distance than it is to the House of Industry. This may be true, though a native of Derby has contradicted, it in that instance, still there is no reason that, because they have erected their Infirmaries at an inconvenient distance for the Medical Officers, you should do the same ; besides, admitting that it . is true, I have little doubt it would be found upon strict enquiry, as in another instance I know to be the case, that there is not regularly the same prompt and frequent attention to the patients by the Medi- cal Officers themselves as there is at Shrewsbury. That very often, instead of going themselves, they send their apprentices or assistants : and of neces- sity such, if the Infirmary was where the House of Industry is, would be the case here. Ask all or either of the Physicians and Surgeons their opinion of the matter, and they will tell you, that for thrice at' least that they visit the Infirmary now, they should in such case hardly be able to visit it once. They are the . best judges upon this occasion they know- by experience the frequent attention cases require, and their own powers of attending; and as their talents, time, and attention are bestow- ed^ withouf fee or reward, surely to their opinion ought, I will not say imp- licit, but certainly very great deference to be paid. Having thus shewn, aud I hope satisfactorily shewn, the impolicy of haying the Infirmary where the House of Indus- try i3, 1 shall briefly notice the other situations mentioned in the commencement of this letter. These are all in the town, and to none of them do those objections apply- which do to the House of Industry ; but I think there is not one of them so eligible as the site on which the Infirmary now stands.

And, accordingly, I belteVe it'TiHs been ascertained, in point of fact,| thatthMnstitiition has been instrumental in producing these biipjVv effects. It has been the means of reforming some who were previously vicious. It has confirmed auch as were good in their virtuous conduct. Alri it has prevented others from falling a prey to those allurements by which their less wise or less favoured companions have been seduced. This » s another reason for my attachment to this Institution.— I wi just mention one other particular, my Lord, which is, that the SCHOOL OF ARTS provides the young men for whom it is intended, with a safe gand rational recrcation ; and although it had no farther aim than this, I should conceive it well entitled our lupport." for any other purpose than the support of the inmates ; and this portion of the funds amounts to upwards of £ 11,000. H# w far the benefactions given by individuals may be appropriated for the purpose I know not; but the amount of legacies and benefactions together little short of the money in hand. The next point is, the most eligible situation for new Infirmary. That this is a most important consideration must, 1 think, be evident to every Trustee who keeps steadily in vievv the real object of the institution ; for on it depends in a very great degree, not only the welfare of the patients in other respects, but also whether they shall have that prompt, efficient, and frequent medieal atten- tion. which in dreadful accidents, or after the . performance of severe operations, is absolutely equisite. Several situations have been pointed out: vit. the present, the premises between the Council House and the Ca* tle, St. John's Row, near the Tower in that neighbourhood, and the House of Industry. With respect to the last, 1 hope the respectable nhabitants of Shrewsbury will have sense and spirit enough not to suffer that building to be diverted from its present purpose. It may at pre- sent be, as Mr. Clement says, too large ; whether it is so or not I caunot say ; if it is, the United Parishes are better off than they once were, for the time has been ( and may be again) when it was found to be, I had almost said too small. Amend the present act relating to the parishes, if requisite, but keep the poor- house where it is; once dispose. of. that building, and, as is often the case, the inha- j bitants might be called to repentance when it would be too late to remedy the evil. That the House of Industry should be recom- mended, nay 44 coveted above all other places about the town," for the purpose of an Infirmary, and that too by a medical gentleman, certainly not one professionally connected with the Iufirmary, is to me surprising ; and still more surprising is it that h¥ should broadly assert, that as to 44 the alleged " objection of the distance of the House of Industry 4 — as inconvenient for Medical Officers— there can * be none." Had a younger or less- experienced man than Mr. Clement sent forth snch a statement to the public, it would perhaps have only drawn forth a smile ; but that one who has been so long in the profession— one who knows the value of prompt and frequent medical attention— and who by his extensive practice must also know the value of time to persons similarly situated, as is the case with the Medical Officers of the Infirmary— that such an one should state this, would, if one did not know Mr. C. lead one to suppose there must be some latent motive for it. Sure I am that every one who has been confined to his bed, either by disease or icvere acci- dent, well knows that the nearer they live to their medical attendant the better are they attended to. And I feel Confident there is not one Medical Of- ficer belonging to the establishment whose opinion is not diatnetrically opposed to that of- Mr. C. They know, and know by experience, that cases frequently occur, which require to he and are seen two or three times in a day— that they are also frequently sent for and attend on cases of imme- diate emergency— and that it is owing, and solely owing, to the convenient situation of the Infirmary, its propinquity to their respective residences, and its lying on the road they nave frequently to pass in visiting their other and more profitable patients, that they are enabled to do it. And this is done without any fee or reward. The deservedly high estimation in which their eminent services have been and still are held, and the zeal they have ever evinced for the credit of the institution and the welfare of its inmates, need not be enlarged upon by me ; those service* and that zeal, be the Infirm- ary where it may, would not, I am sure, be with- held. But I would ask even Mr. Clement, could they be expected to pay, or, ifexpected, could they pay that prompt and frequent attention they have hitherto done, if the Infirmary were placed where the House of Industry is ?— most certainly not. The House of Industry is not only a long, and a consi- derable portion of it an up- hill walk from the centre of the town, but it is also out of the way the Medical Officers would be likely to pass iu the course of the day ; consequently niuch of that attention which in desperate cases is now. shewn to the unfortunate individuals would he withheld from them^ and thq: would one of the principal objects of the institution be defeated. It may be replied, that there is always a House- Surgeon of experience ou the spot, True: but it has not been allowed eitherrto the present House- Surgeon or to any preceding one, how distinguished soever may nave been their ability ( nor indeed is it proper that it should) to perform an operation, be the urgency of the case ever so great; nor have they been permitted, I believe, in important cases> to do any thing except under the direction of the Physicians or Surgeons. Then as to the light chain bridge across the river to facilitate the intercourse ; Mr. C. does not say whether he would have one with a horse and car- riage road over, or merely for foot passengers. To: the former I think the inhabitants would have a decided objection. They Would hardly permit the Quarry Walk to be converted info a turnpike roadr as I may say. And as to one for foot passengers, it would be of little use. The objection is the distance,. Leaving out the consideration that the present airy situation iu the tow. n. To the back it is entirely open to the country, and a more pleasing prospect ( for those who are convalescent aud can walk o^ n the terrace) is not Often to be met with : whilst to the front, having occasion now and then to pass that way, I think there is air enough for any thing, frequently, more than is pleasant even to some of the inhabitants. And as to room, by taking in the house and garden now occupied by the Senior Surgeon, for whom another might he purchased or taken, there is abundance to erect a building capa- ble of holding, not as is the case now, but 150 or more, which would be, I apprehend, quite sufficient for an Infirmary; together with fever wards, aod © very convenience. As to a County Lunatic Asylum, I think few Medical Gentlemen will consider that either a necessary or desirable appendage to an Infirmary It will be more for the benefit of the respective patients to have them separate and at a distance Parliament have, I believe, delegated powers fot erecting County Lunatic Asylums, and if it should be thought necessary to have one in this county, I do not know a better place, or one, considerin whom it belongs, that might he had on more rea sonable terms, than the Armoury.; and let a resi- dence for the Superintending Medical Officer be erected near it. Let; me, then,' press upon your attention the ad vantages of the prexent site ; its open arid pleasant situation; its contiguity to, and convenience for, your Medical. Officers, who are passing it twice or thrice a day ; and the greater attention that conse quentjy they can continue to pay to those unfor- tunate individuals you have to recommend in- patients. Sincerely hoping that you will consult the true interest of the patients, of the Medical Officers, ajid thereby of yourselves & the Infirmary I remhin, your's, & c. X H Pontesbury New Parish Church.

We notice with extreme regret, that in addition to the flatness in trade which generally attends this season of the year a depression has ensued, governed by circumstances of a serious nature. Within the lact few days some stoppages of respectable Houses have occurred here, and the same calamity has befallen ihe commanding Concern of the great American establishment of Mr. Samuel Williams, of London, in whose hands very extensive interest* were vested. The amount of his debts and liabilities is variously spoken to : what may he their ultimate consideration time only can manifest. No doubt, they are very heavy. In consequence of these united events, much alarm has gone forth-;'; but we do hope lhat the state of things will in the end. negative the excitation. That inordinate speculation and the recent mania for new under- takings of a doubtful character would operate to publie inconvenience, has been foreseen by the wary and Ihe wpeienced. Money has been ouwiUely lavished in ihese ways to a mischievous extent, and put beyond the reach of its real possessors. Yet, we trust that the energies of manufacture and the renovating principles of commerce will ere long rise superior to the grave obstacles which have presented themselves, and restore the concerns of the town and of the surrounding populous district to their wonted soundness and elasticity.

The letter in which the note was inclosed was put iuto t he post- office at Wimborne, directed ' to' M r Pike? of Oxford, and being forwarded through London,, was secreted by the prisoner, who was stationed in that division in the office next which the letters for Oxford are deposited. On Friday, John Patin, a straw- hat maker, on Holbom- hill, was acquitted of a charge of stealing four notes, value £ 1000 each, from the person of Mr. Robertson, at the Auction Mart, in November last, and one of which notes was proved lo have! been in Palin's possession.—[ The other three notes are said to be still in the hands of the thieves, who find them to be complete waste paper, and indirect overtures have been made to Mr. Robertson for their restoration ; but that gentleman has sagacity enough to perceive the difficulty which the thieves find in negociating a £ 1000 note, and leaves them to run the risk of such an attempt ] On Wednesday evening se'nnight a young man of vicious habits called on his grandfather, Mr. Harwood, a wealthy undertaker in tJ u inn- street j and ; demanded money of him, swearing that he would have some o^ would have the old imtnVlife! the old gentleman refused, upon which the youth struck him.

At an inquest held on Friday on the bodyf ] Mr. H.' s housekeeper swore that she/ Considered her master's life to be always in danger from hia grandson. The jury returned a verdict of man* slauyhter ; but Mr H. was tried on the charge of murder at the Old Bailey, on Thursday last, when the Jury, afler sohte deliberation^ Foiihd the prisoner guilty of manslaughter ; and the Court adjudged him, after an animadversion from- ths Recorder, to pay a fine of 40s. to the King, and to be imprisoned till such fine be paid.— The sentence gave evident satisfaction to au ektremely crowded Court. duced : A1 , L that Messuage or MANSION Calinore, near Montgomery; Mr. PARRY," Severn Cottage, and Mr. FIELD EVANS, Henfaes, both near Pool; of THE AUCTIONEER, and at the Oak, Bear, and Crown Inns, in Pool ; and at the Offices of Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS, Solicitor, in Shrewsbury and Pool aforesaid.

The humble Petition of ROUSH 1 LI. WALLS, the WALK adjoining the WELSH BRIDGE, and the WALK adjoining the ENGLISH BRIDGE, Strmtti) i And, first, your Petitioners, the WALKS BY THE BRIDGES, Shew— That, for many years past, they have been in a most dan- gerous state, owing to the want of protec- tions on the sides next the Severn ; through which defects, many persons, both Infants and Adults, have lost their lives in the Stream. Your Petitioners are not a'little surprised, that amid the laudable zeal for improving your ancient Town, they should be so entirely disregarded. How often are they doomed to hear, from the lips of reflecting people passing along their naked borders—" extraordinary want of caution!" -— 44 can it be poverty ?"—" sacrifice of lives !"—" disgrace to Shrewsbury !"— All of which expressions, your Petitioners cannot help thinking, are applied to their condition 1 They therefore most earnestly pray, that this, their reproach, may, as speedily as possible, be removed ; humbly suggesting, that, for a trifling sum, Fences might be formed, to guard at once against oblofjuy and against danger. And your Petitioners, the ROUSHILL WALLS, Shew— That being a near tho- roughfare between the populous Suburbs of Frankwell and the Castle Foregate, the many good people, who, consequently, pass to aud fro over them, are in danger of broken bones, from the want of Rails to hinder them falling into the meadows below. That when two corpulent people meet upon them, a contest arises as to which shall pass on the safe side, and he who is justled from it, blames his Stars that he did not make his Will before he left his habitation. Many are the shrieks, and dreadful the oaths, uttered by the numerous Passengers—" Oh ! dear Bessy, take care, for if you slip off the Wall, there ' 11 be an end of you !"— Good G- d ! that Child will certainly tumble, and break his neck !"— Now, Harry, how many times have 1 told you never to play on these dangerous Walls ? Let me find you here again, and I'll make you ' hop, skip, and jump,'' with a vengeance!" If dislocations are not frequently heard of, your Petitioners, with deference, observe, that it is because fear generally begets caution. Over one spot, in particular, a Stranger never passes, but verily we shake from his trembling ! It was but the other day, while contemplating this pass, that a person exclaimed—" Curse these Walls! how ugly they look ! If a man wants to commit suicide, here is his place! He might depend a Coroner's Jury would never return felo de se: the Verdict would certainly be— 1 died from an accidental fall i* " Your Petitioners, therefore, hum- bly suggest, that, by fortifying their weak side, thanks and praises would resound from every Passenger, Swearers be saved from Purgatory, and " steps from falling!" and ail they implore is, RAILS, humble RAILS, whether of British Oak, or Ame- rican Timber. What, though the days of Chivalry are gone, when your Petitioners were regarded with reverence as part of the safeguard of " proud Salopia," still, as they even now render you some poor service, they flatter themselves they shall receive some consideration. And all your Petitioners ( as in duty bound) will reflect credit on your ancient and respectable Town, SHREWSBURY. B. State of the Money Market. 11 is certainly a remarkable circumstance, that, notwithstanding the late increase in the Revenue, the Funds continue to decline.— It has always been an invariable result of a favourable financial quarter, that the Stocks have risen upon it; but there now seems no longer any concordance between the pro- sperity of our Revenue- aud the progress of the national securities. It is certainly difficult, at the first view, to account for this irregularity, but a few observations will enable us to throw a light upon the subject, aud to satisfy our readers, that So far from the decline of the price of Stocks being an argument of failing prosperity, it is, when taken in connexion with an Increasing Revenue, the strongest indication of the great progressive advance of ail our national resources. ] t certainly is not desirable, that the Stocks at any time should maintain too high a price. The interests of trade and commerce require that the wealth of the nation should be in perpetual circulation and exchange. The mere money capitalist or hoarder promotes very few of the good ends of society, and it is only by throning capital into the channels of active industry, that public wealth is accumulated, and the comforts of the community enlarged. The Stocks, therefore, should properly become the resort of deposit;— the great public bank, for those who are incapable or weary of active enterprise and speculation ;— of h tradesmen^ who wish to withdraw themselves from the vicissitudes and turmoils of business ; of public Companies, Insurance Offices, Benefit Societies, Savings Banks, and other large Corporations, who are required to keep their capitals undiminished of widows, children, orphans; in short, of all that large class of the community who require a solid security for their property, and are content to receive it at a moderate rate of interest. These are the natural feeders of the Stocks, and it is a bad symptom in commercial society, and argues ill for the prosperity of manufactures, trade, and com- merce, when the general capital of the community is directed to this species of inactive investment, instead of heirig employed in the ordinary walks of industry and mercantile adventure. The state of the case, however, is very plainly this .— The present price of the Stocks is low, because persons possessed of capital have now so many new fields of profit opening to them.— There is sprung up a general Confidence in trade which was never hitherto known. A disposition to engage in every species of enterprise is now general through the nation ; and persons of a very different descrip- tion from any which We have hitherto known, have embarked their property in Public Works, Com panics, and Joint Associations, under the allurement of greater profits than the Funds can in any case afford. Let any one cast his eye over the advertisV- ments in the Daily Papers, and lie will see how many are the invitations for the employment of capital, which are hearkened to not only hv the credulous, hut by the wise and prudent, fo divert their property from its ordinary investment, and to employ il in ihe pursuit of greater gain. All these circumstances arrest and cut off so many channels of supply to the Public Funds; and they arise, as we have before said, from the great and solid basis of the trade of the country,— from the favourable prospects of a long peace, and the general tranquillity which reigns throughout Europe at the present moment. It must also be considered, that there Sre other competitors, besides our own funds, for the invest- ment of the capital of the country ; competitors, moreover, which have an advantage over the Eng- lish Stocks, hy yielding a higher interest, and presenting a security nearly as good. F'or example, the French. Funds now yield five per cent.; the Prussian Funds pay the same; and both these countries have a Revenue which very much exceeds the amount of interest paid to tlie public creditor. In France, at this very time, the amount of the taxes was thirty millions fo'r the frrsf nine months of ihe finance year. Here, then/ is a" surplus, above the claims of the national creditor, of three- fourths'. The security of the French Stocks if, therefore,' undeniable. ., It is a proof, and a most convincing one, that this low price of Stocks has no connexion with any diminution of public confidence, and still less with the impaired condition of any of the means of public prosperity ; and that what is thus reserved from the Funds, is employed in commerce and speculation. If we look at the state of the money market, at no period was money so plentiful in this most opulent nation,— at no period was there so much capital, which may be truly called floating capital, inasmuch as it is exposed, as it were, on the broad face of the waters, and all who want, and who can give the necessary security, may have it. In the richest period of the Dutch States, when the commerce of the world poured its tributes into the Dutch hanks and mercantile houses, money wa3 not at a lower rate of interest ( for private loans), than with us Bat the price of money is the measure of the quan- tity in the market. If we look at our foreign trade, more especially at the import of raw commodities, and the export of our domestic mariufacttires, we shall find sufficient to convince us that tbisT branch of our national industry, the largest and uYotft important, has been astonishingly enriched by the accession of new capital flowing into it. In the Cotton trade, alone, the investment of new capital, during the two last years, has perhaps exceeded ten millions; and there- is every reason to think, that upon the making up of the annual accounts of our trade, commerce, rindi manufactures for 1825, our exports and imports will be found to have augmented at least one- sixth, over the amount of 1824, when Stocks were six or seven per cent., higher. We form our judgment upon these premises. The Customs, without taking into account transfer of duties from the Excise, have increased in the ratio of five hundred thousand pounds per quarter. The former amount of our Customs was ten millions for the year; but on the termination of the present year they will probably exceed twelve millions. It will he found to be the same through every branch of our national industry. Every trade has heen increased by new accessions of capital ; every concern, and dealing, enterprise, and public business, has been most surprisingly enlarged and fed with new supplies of investment and wealth. Amongst other circumstances, however, which depress and keep down the Funds, we must not omit the new practice of the Commissioners for reducing the public debt. They have, as is well known, a surplus of five millions paid to them yearly, which it is their ordinary custom and duty to invest in stock ; or, in other words, to buy up and ex- tinguish with this capital certain portions of stock in the market. But latterly, the Commissioners, by authority of Parliament, have applied a certain portion of this five millions in buying up and redeeming Exchequer Bills. Thus, one main source is cut off from the Money Market, which will of itself account for the depression of the Stocks at least 1.2 per cent. That the Funds will ultimately revive, and even exceed their former rate, there is no maimer of doubt. Capital will accumulate, the ' allurements of speculation and enterprise will abate, and money will, as usual, seek its customary asylum of rest and deposit iu the national securities.-— Bell's Messenger. On the Disadvantages of being Tall. MR. EDITOR— A wretched being, whom the winds of Heaven have not visited by dav, for these three months, save through the window of his attic, whom the finger of man pointed at as a monster amongst God's creatures, Whom the world's mocks and jeers aud idiot laughter pursued wherever he went, as if the stamp of Cain had been impressed upon his forehead— now addresses you ; and, in the absence of all other friends, makes you the confidant of his sorrows. From what I have said, you will doubtless infer that some moral feeling, some conscientious motive, actuated my persecutors in tormenting me that some presumptive, if not positive, proof of guilt attached to me ; or that some injury done to my fellow- creatures made me the object of their male volence :— hut no! with nothing of this kind have they been able to reproach me. I followed the straight- forward path of honesty in all my dealing and intercourse with them; this should have insured me respect. I was free even from the imputation of a crime; this should have protected me frotn insult. I was conscious of having committed no intentional wrong against any living being ; this should have saved me from the taunts of ridicule. But, alas! from a circumstance over which I had no controul, and for which, therefore, I ought not to he amenable; from a mere whim of nature— a freak of fate— I was doomed to suffer these miseriesand humiliations from nine- tenths of those whom chance rhrew in my way. And, for what ? I was— Seven feet high ! " The very head and front of my offending Hath this extent— no more." Would you credit it, Sir ? for this I have been fol lowed like some strange animal unseen before among men ; for this I have borne anguish aud wounded pride and undeserved disgrace ; for this I have been gazed at as a h. uge libel on the human forui; as a creature which had little in common with the rest of mankind ; and for which mankind enter- tained no sympathies; as an indelible bj. Q. t on the fair page of life — a curse personified — " A fear on nature's universal smile." At one time a greasy- jacketed fellow, hearing a ladder and torch, asks me, as a particular favour, to save him the trouble of ascending the former, by taking off the tops of his lamps, and applying the lighted torch to the wicks; . adding, w hilst he screws his mouth up to an impudent- assumption of gravity, " Your Honour won't have to stretch much— you needn't, stand on tip- toe. Sir!— No need of stilts, your Worship!" & c. At another time a witling, whose eyes happen to be some inches nearer his mother earth than my own— a coxcomb, clad in white corded breeches, with drab gaiters, a, nd a piec^ e of very doubtful apparel on his hack— a . something, which is not enough to constitute a henjanihi, and too long for a dress coat or a spencer— stops me in St. Paul's Church- yard, and with an affected drawl and vacant stare, tells me, he should feeKparticidarly obliged— materially honoured— extremely gratified, if I would let him know the hour hy St. Paul's clock ; as he is so far removed from it, that curse him if he can distinguish one hand from the other. One, with pretended earnestness, accuses me of hav- ing stolen flower- pots from his garret- window. Another charges me with the murder of his wife, who, he avers, caught cold and died, inconsequence of the rain having penetrated through the roof of his house, upon her bed ; all of which, he says, was occasioned by my having taken away the tiles: while a little sneering fellow, in a suit cf rusty black, wishes to be informed whether it is true that the atmosphere becomes colder in proportion as we ascend. But I am getting tired of recounting the multifarious insults I have experienced; the unme- rited sufferings I have undergone. let, one thing I must not omit— the women, those seeming angels, from whom I thought we received the better portion of our nature— to wJrom I conceived man to be indebted for half his divinity; the wonen— whose eyes are suns— whose words are music— whose looks are love— treated me as unceremoniously, and as coldly and unfeelingly, as those of my own sex. I was never phlegmatic enough to contemplate beauty without a feeling of admiration— nor, occa- sionally, without love. I offered my hand at various periods of my life to at least a dozen Clarissa excused herself by saying that she wasvery chilly during the winter, and therefore particularly partial lo a small and low room, which would, ifshe married me, deprive her of her husband's socipty till the spring. Rosa affirmed she was remarkably fond of walking, and as she should not be aide 10 reach my arm, begged to decline " my polite offer." Jane said, that looking up at me hurt her neck; and, wh ® t was worse than all, a servant girl, by whose beauty I was fool enough to he captivated, made me a low curtsey, and with a malicious affectation of humility, declared she was but a mean body, a poor servant, and could not think of looking so hi&' h !— » Enoug h of these examples of contempt and injustice. What Malvolio unjustly says to Olivia I might with perfect propriety apply to mankind in. general :— " You have done me Wrong— notorious wrong."

Even things . inanimate are my enemies-* bedsteads, fashioned for gentler purposes, " murder sleep— the innocent sleep;" and stage- coaches, intended for the relief of travellers, appear fo be set up to run against every thing like relief and comfort to me. On a journey of business or of pleasure, rare is the inn in which I can find a bed to repose my weary limbs on, for while my trunk is at rest, my legs are always taking ( lie air; and on a winter's night it itfstill worse, for white my body, by the aid of well- warmed sheets, is in Calcutta, my feet are in Lapland.

To endiiVe it with patience, or to seek relief Without some senrrile jest, is equally impossible. It was bu't the other day when, on the coachman stopping to change horses,! said," Well, I'll just get out and stretch my legsan old lady opposite exclaimed, with a malicious grin, 44 No, Sir, pray don't— therms no need— Acini stretch ' em, for Heaven's sake !"

Our correspondent informs us, that the fire originated in the kitchen chimney, and at three o'clock, without any alarm having been given, communicated to the bed room of Lord Forbes. His Lordship must inevitably have perished, were it not that a spaniel, which invari ably slept in his room, fortunately awoke him, but not before a great portion of the furniture in the apartment had been destroyed.

GKNTLEMEN— I am advised by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of the City of London,, most respectfully to call your attention to an Act of Parliament passed tn the 58th . year of the reign of his late - Majesty George the Third, entitled, 1- An Act for preventing destruction of the Breed of Salmon, and fish of Salmon kind, in the Rivers of England,"— which mpowers " Justices of the Peace assembled at any Geueral or Quarter Sessions, from time to time, to appoint Conservators or Overseers for the preserva- tion of the Salmon, and fish of the Salmon kind ; and the brood, spawn, and fry thereof; and preventing the destruction thereof; and enforcing for that pur- pose the provisions of this Act, within the limits of the jurisdiction of Such Justices, and within the limits of which they shall he so appointed." And the Secretary of State for the Home Department ( in consequence of representations made to him on this important subject) is pleased to say, " That if the local Magistrates do not do their duty, the Court of' King's Bench will enforce it by a writ of man- damus." I aw, Gentlemen, vour humble servant, G. S. DAVIS. Nuneham Cottage, Cheltenham, Oct. 15, 1825. An erroneous opinion prevails that it is tire inten tion of the legislature to prohibit tbe catching and sale of salmon altogether for a limited time : but that is not the case, it being well known there are perfectly in season salmon caught during the whole year; and the fourth section of the above- mentioned Act of Parliament explains the matter very satisfac- torily : " That no person shall at any time take, kill, or destroy', or knowingly have in possession, either on the water, or 011 shore, or offer or expose to or for sale, any spawn, fry, or brood of fish, or any unsizeable fish, or any kepper or shedder sal- mon, being unseasonable salmon, commonly called old salmon."" " Penalty, not exceeding Ten Pounds, nor less than Five Pounds." The object, therefore, is, to increase the quantity of wholesome salmon in our own rivers, and thereby enablo us to make it an article of considerable ex- port, instead of importing to the amount of several thousand* pounds per annum ( as we now do); and to accomplish so desirable an end, it is only neces- sary to carry the existing law into effect— the advan- tages that would result from it are beyond calcula- tion. * Ireland exports at least fifty thousand pounds worth of salmon annually, the greatest portion of which finds its v/ ay to the tables of the English. THE LATE CAPTAIN COCHRANE.— Capt. J. Dundas Cochrane, R. N. who lately died at Va- ientia, in South America, was perhaps the most extraordinary pedestrian traveller upon record. At tbe conclusion of the general peace, he traversed on foot the countries of France, Spain, and Portugal;, and in 1820, he offered to undertake a journey info the interior of Africa, to explore the source of the Niger. To accomplish this object, it was even his intention to have sold himself as a slave to one of the owners of caravans traveling in that country. The Admiralty, however, to whom he made the request, either from their regard to the safety of his person, or because they considered such an ex- pedition foreign to their department, were un- favourable to the plan. He subsequently set out With an intention of travelling round the globe, as nearly as it can be done by land, crossing from Northern Asia to America, at Be'hring's Straights —- all this, too', on foot, bis circumstances admitting of tio other mode. His leading object was to trace tbe shores of the Polar Sea along America, by land, as Capt. Parry attempted to do by sea. Having arrived at Si. Petersburg, and obtained letters of recommendation and protection from the Emperor Alexander, , he set; out fo traverse Siberia to Kamtschatka, or Bebring's Straights, but had not proceeded fa » y when, as he was travelling through a forest, hie was attacked by robbers, who first stripped MM naked, and then left him tied to a tree^ from u'hich disagreeable situation he was re- leased by a boy, who happened to be passing that way. His ardour, however, was by no means abated by this untoward circumstance, for he still pursued his journey, and after encountering in- credible dangers, all of which are fully described in his " Pedestrian Tour," be succeeded in reaching Kamtschutka. While there, however, he became fully aware of the impracticability of his plan, and returned to Europe. In the course of this extra- ord i na ry j rnr I'riey, he s tales that he t ravelled u p war ds f 6,000 miles at the expense of only one guinea. This persevering and astonishing pedestrian tra- veller was nephew of that distinguished and re- spected officer, the Hon. Admiral Sir Alexander J. Cochrane, G/^ C. B.-— Hampshire Telegraph. STAGE COACH SAFETY PROP.— The Leeds Intelligencer says— We have this week had an opportunity of inspecting the operation of a valu- able invention recently discovered by one of our fellow- townsmen, which, when brought into action, will, we trust, effectually prevent the recurrence of those shocking accidents which so frequently happen in various parts of the country by the overturning of coaches. The invention is on a self- acting principle, and can also be made to act at the pleasure of the coachman or guard. The prop is made of two pieces of iron of moderate diameter, suspended by strong joints from the top of the coach, on each side of the door, and meet at a point about a foot from the ground, to which is affixed a small wheel, made to run in the same direction as the coach wheels. The striking part of the machinery is placed in other parts of the coach, and is so constructed, that when the vehicle inclines obliquely, it commences operations, and the prop instantly extends itself about two feet four inches from the coach, and the moment it touches the ground, causes the coach to bound back again to its former position. In the case of an axletree breaking, a wheel coming off, or an unlevel road, it is expected to prove cqua'lly efficient. The weight is not great, being about lOst. and tbe expense comparatively small. We, therefore, hope that so valuable an acquisition to our present mode of travelling will soon be called into use by coach proprietors, and, when in use, will be sanctioned by the public at large." On Sunday forenoon a gentleman, mounted on a valuable blood horse, rode down Lower Seymour- street, Port man square, where an immense sewer is forming, upwards of 60 feet deep, and in endea vouring to pass across the boards covering the excavations, one of them broke, and the horse and rider sunk into tlie chasm. Several persons who witnessed the sudden disappearance rushed to the opening, and with some little difficulty assisted the gentleman ( who clung to one of the cross beams in his descent) out of his dangerous predicament The horse, however, remained below, and by a singular chance was prevented from going to the bottom, where it must have perished, by getting between two beams. An immense crowd soon collected, and some of them very actively erected a mast and pully, and having made fast some blocks and tackle, with ropes properly sheaved, one or two persons descended, and fastening them pro- perly on the horse, cut away the beams, and then the horse was hauled up uninjured, amid the loud cheers of the assembled bystanders. The gentle- man then said it was impossible to reward them individually for their exertions, but went to tbe Prince of Mecklenburg public- house, and deposited £ 5 in the hands of the landlord, to be spent for the benefit of all who had assisted in saving his horse. The extent of litigation" in some parts of the United States is very remarkable. The New Hampshire Patriot of the 10th ult. mentions that at the first term of the new state Court of Common Pleas for Stafford county, held at Gil- manslown, FiVs HUNDRED new actions were entered; and that in the same court for Coos county, there were 163 hew entries, 10 jury trials, and 25 continuances. The article from the Mechanics'* Magazine, on the ripening powers of the Moon, is all Moon- shine! " The City of Glasgow Steam Packet, from Gree- nock to Liverpool, was wrecked off the Isle of Man, on Thursday : crew and passengers sar; ed. On Saturday, and for several days previously, individuals in the City were employed in drawing up and signing requisitions to the Directors of several of the projected Joint Stock Companies to refund deposits, which seem to have been advanced to no purpose. There were individuals who talked of applying to the Chancery or some other Court, to obtain justice against the Directors of the concerns in which they had taken shares. This Sort of litigation would in all probability be nothing folore than " throwing good money after bad." SUMMARY JUSTICE.— The Prime Minister in sdme of the Mahratta States himself perambulates the bazaars or market places, and if he happens io detect any o.- je selling by false weights or mea sures, this great officer immediately breaks the culprit's head with a large wooden mallet, kept expressly for the purpose. , Lord Belgrave is building extensive Dog Kennels in Eaton Park, near Belgrave Lodge^ preparatory to the establishment of a regular Pack of Hounds. ODD DIFFICULTIES.— A Mr. Henshaw, of Oldham, in 1809, left £ 20,000, for the endowment of a Blue Coat School, and the like sum for the endowment of an Asylum for the Blind, either at Manchester or Oldham ; but as there happens to be no establishment of either description, in either place, to endow, and no person seems disposed fo build one for the sake of the endowment, the money remains wholly useless in the hands of the trustees. Whenever the Asylum for the Blind iS realized, the solicitor who drew up the will of this benievolent individual will have a good claim to the mastership. Dublin, Oct. 22.— EXPORTATION OF SuU- ^ ECTS.— Yesterday, a curious and rather disgusting fact was disclosed in College street Police Office, Dublin. It seenis, that for the last twelve months, a regular trade has been carried on between this city and London, in dead bodies, which are sent there for the Surgeons to dissect. An order was procured yesterday from the Magistrates for the burial of two or three bodies which were found packed up in one box, addressed to an inn in London, with directions " to be left until called for." The stench which proceeded from the box in question, was the first intimation the Captain of one of tbe packets received of what luggage he was about conveying to London. It is hoped that the persons concerned in ibis abominable traffic will be discovered. ENGLISH DISAGREEABLENESS.—" When people buy or sell ( says the Courier Francois, speaking of the commercial advantages secured, to France by the treaty with Hayti), they Consult their interest and not their sympathies, and the most amicable dealer is always he who sells the best goods at the lowest prices, and ailows the longest credit. I he English trouble themselves very little about making themselves agreeable, but never- theless their business succeeds well. Thus they are beloved nowhere, but they nevertheless find their way everywhere; they have even found out the means of making those hate them whom they have enriched. They delivered Spain from the yoke of Napoleon ; they have assisted the South Americans to shake off the yoke of Spain, but both in America and Spain they are disliked. What is this to them? They do not seek to be liked by other people; foreign praise is not a commodity mentioned in the London Price Cur- rent. In foreign markets we have the appearance of rivals with the English, and both aspire to the hand of the same lady. One is youthful, graceful, witty, and pleases much more than the other, who lies extended on a sofa, gaping and taking snuff. He does not trouble about it, he waits for the moment of making proposals, and he knows that at that time the accomplishments of b'is rival will not weigh against the arguments he car ries in his purse. These are the arguments which the English employ against us wherever we meet in Europe, in Asia, and now in America." Letters from Paris mention that tbe noted Cacique of Poyais, Sir Gregor Macgregor, has cut and; run. After a series of dexterous intrigues, his Highness the Prince of the Mosquito Shore has succeeded in getting a vessel at Havre, on board of which he was very humanely shipping a number of deluded French families, to whom he had most bounteously dealt out extensive tracts of rich and luxuriant lands in Poyais, overflowing with milk and honey. The French Police, who are not, perhaps, so delicate, on these subjects, as we are in England, finding that his Highness was about to add to the long list of victims he had already made, sent to arrest him, together with his Secre- taries, Two of the latter were secured; but his Highness, being informed, by a servant, of what was passing, had the good luck to escape. His carriages, it would seem, were seized and sold, a few days previous to this- event. In the late war of the Peninsula, the peasantry who lived upon the " line of march," and to whom the purchase of their provisions was often almost as ruinous as the plunder could have been, were put to desperate straifs to preserve their poultry. At length they used to lock them up in their chests and presses, as soon as the drum was beard, where, being in the dark, the bipeds remained perfectly silent, and inquirers were informed that the last party had eaten up the whole. This device suc- ceeded for a time; but one day a shrewd old cam- paigner of the German Legion carried a live duck from his panniers into a farm- house where no poul- try could be found, and pinched the creature till he extorted the usual " quack, quack!" The re- sult was a simultaneous reply from all the boxes and cupboards in tbe room; and, to the utter despair of the Spanish farmers, in three weeks the test was general throughout the army. Last week, John Hall, Esq. of Stoke, near- Newark, aged about 6t), in company with Mr. Wakefield, and a Mr. Green, of Flintham, went out shooting, when Mr. Hall climbed over a gate, and was followed immediately by Mr. Wakefield, with bis gun in his hand, which went off; the contents were lodged in the back of Mr. Hall, who only exclaimed, " Oh ! Wakefield, what have you done ?" and fell down and expired. We have heard that the Senatus Academicus of the University of the King's College, Aberdeen, have come to the final determination not Jo con- fer any Degree upon strangers, however qualified| without previous strict and personal examination in the different branches of literature connected with the degree. We consider this a very proper arid laudable decision, and the way to render degrees honourable and respectable.— Leeds Intelligencer• A book has just appeared without title page, designation, or printer's name, consisting entirely of a list of men notorious about town for running in debt and not paying; or, as the phrase among them is, not caring who suffers. The first num- ber contains 4000 of such names, and is threatened to be continued periodically. Among the memorabilia of the present times are tbe two Opposition Members for Reading, having pledged themselves, in future, to support Adminis tration ; and the wealthy Opposition family in the neighbouring county having promised their support to the new Tory candidate. Arthur Moore, Esq. one of the Commissioners of Trade and Plantations, in the time of Queen Anne, who was afterwards proscribed for malver- sation, and excepted out of the act of Grace in 1717, was married to a lady who happened 40 be a violent politician, but always in opposition to her husband. This lady happening once to be in company with Lord Bolingbroke, his Lordship, alluding to the humour then prevailing of impeach- ing some members of the preceding administration, of whom he was one, said, " Madam, I hope that you will favour me with your company to Tower- hill, on the day that I am to be beheaded." To which she immediately replied, " I assure you, my Lord, I should be very glad to wait upon you on such an occasion, but I am afraid that I shall be obliged on that day to attend my man to Tyburn At a sitting of the magistrates at Brighton, last week, an information was laid by the officers of the customs against the daughter of a very respect able inhabitant, for having a quantity of foreign velvet in her possession, when the fair offender was convicted in the penally of £ 56. 5s. being treble the value of the goods. At Kingston Sessions, Abraham Belateo, one of the prize fighters, pleaded guilty to an indict- ment for an assault and rescue. The brother of this man was tried at the late Guildford Assizes, and sentenced to be transported for life, for picking the pocket of Mr. Hughes Leigh, at the last Epsom Races, and it was for an assault upon MrP L. aud an attempt fo rescue his brother, that this indictment was preferred. The defendant, having acknowledged the impropriety of his conduct, the prosecutor consented to relinquish proceedings, upon his entering into recognizances, himself ir? £ 100, and finding two sureties for £ 50 each, to keep the peace for five years. Captain Hoppner has been honourably acquitted by the court martial assembled to investigate the circumstances connected with the loss of the Fury. The Hull Advertiser says, " Mr Green, the aeronaut, has a second time lost his balloon, with half the car and grappling iron. He escaped, however, with trifling personal injury." A fatal boxing match, arising from a quarrel, took place on Friday at Turner's hill, between a young farmer named Hamilton, and Roberts, & gamekeeper. At the close of the 30th round, Ha- milton was in a state of stupor from a fall, and he died the same evening. A CHEAP HUSBAND.— A young servant girl, who had conducted herself very much to the satis- faction of her mistress, was presented by her with five pounds, to serve as a marriage portion. Some time after her mistress desired to see the lover. He was ugly and mis shapen. " My good lass," said the lady, " what a comical husband you have chosen." " Ah! Madam," replied the girl with much simplicity, " what can one expect to get for five pounds." Many good easy peop! e fancy that the" Rent" is utterly extinguished, because the collection of it is prohibited by Act of Parliament. But we can assure the English nation, that the " Rent" is aa punctually called for, and, we have every reason to believe, is as punctually paid, as when the weekly statement s of its receipts were published by the " Domestic Government." The Irish leaders are by 110 means to be intimidated by such silly bug- bears as Parliamentary Statutes.— Dublin Morn, Courier. THE RETORT COURTEOUS.— After a very vio- lent speech from an Opposition Member, Mr. Burke started suddenly from his » eat aud rushed to tbe Ministerial side of the House, exclaiming, with much vehemence, " I quit the camp, 1 quit the camp!" " I hope," said Mr Sheridan, " as the H unoin- ahle Gpndfitifiu has quitted the ramp a « a Deserter, lip will not return lo it a Spy.'* Mr. Burke never forgave it. The milliners of Leeds, as well as the ladies of the town and neighbourhood, are al present in a stale of grievous alarm, owing to a general aw} just apprehension that ihe operative dress maker* & bonnet builders meditate an immediate" st. ike." It appears that they feel themselves in want of mental cultivation, and imagine if Ihey had oppor. tunitiee of inlet- Changing a knowledge of the arts ami sciences, along with the linen drapers' ami grocers' shopmen, they would, in a short time, exhibit a striking proficiency. On Ihe 23d nil. a woman, of the name of Elizabeth Evans, offered a hare for sale at Mr, Joseph Meredith's, Talbot Inn, Kington. Mr M. refused to buy it ; but a person who happened to. be in ibe house purchased il, and left it there till the following morning. The vender turned in- former, and laid an information against Mr, Meredith, Ihe landlord, for having a hare in hia possession, not being duly qualified, aiid Ijie case was brought for a hearing before the Magislralea on . Friday, tile 7th in'sl when Mr. M was duly convicted in ( he penally of £ 5 and costs The purchaser laid un inhu mation agaiosl the offender, Ivifcabelh Evans, for selling the hare, and ( in the following Friday, Ihe 14th inst. she was coiivicled in the penalty of £ 5 and costs. At the Quarter Sessions for the Bnroug- ft t) f Beverley, on Monday last, an indictment was pre- feried and found against tbe Hon. George Berkeley Molyuenx ( son of the Earl of Sefton), a Captain in Ihe 7lh Hussars, William Augustus Broadhead, Esq. a Lieiilcuant, and John White, E- q Cornet in the same regiment, for an assault upon Nathaniel Dalby", of the Beverley Arms Inn, and Jane hi. wife, on the ; 2ljth September last. The defendant* pleaded guilty, and were fined; Captain Mohneux £ 50, Lieutenant Broadhead £- 2C, and Mr. White £ 31). Another indictment was foond against Lieutenant Broadhead, and-- Edward. White, and Charles Peckham, Esqrs. for a riot and assault upon the watchmen of Beverley on thefith October, to which they pleaded guilty. The Court, in " passing sentence, reproved the defendants in severe terms, and fined each of Ihem in tbe penajtj of £ 40— Hull Advertiser. EIHISSIO'K OF LIGHT BY MERCURY. If mercury be poured on a thin piece of deal, placed on the top of an exhausted glass receiver, it will be forced through, and will fall info the receiver in a fine shower ; and if Ihe experiment be made j; i Ihe dark, the shower will appear Itimiuou*. Nmv, asks a correspondent in the Mechanics' Maqazine, how does Mercury, in this instance, happen to give out light? If bright metal is found lo be luminous by being agitated in vacuo, il will be important, as it will give us reason to suppose • Ihat the heavenly bodies ernil theirs on Ihe same principle. MAKING BRONZE.- Tlie hest method ofmnkiitg bronze, ( says a correspondent lo the Mechanics* Magazine,) is lo take spelter, and let it stand in spirits of wine for 24 hours; theu pour off. the solution, and let it evaporate, - and boil it with 3 oz. by measure, ofsintom senega, for two hours. Then lake it off, and strain it tbiougb a fine rag, which will detain Ihe powder, to be well washed wilh clear water, previous to using. The method of darkening the bronze, is by simply adding chloride of ammonia, mixed w ith asphallum ; ap- plied while hoi to the brass or copper. It has been successfully applied to iron and steel. A certain eminent individual ordered a pair of breeches from his tailor, with a strict injunction, Ihat they should be made in a particular way, and, fearing Snip should not do so, he sent another pair, as a pattern. The breeches were made ac- cording to direction, except in one single point.. The gentleman expressed h is satisfaction; but observed Mr. Snip had not made a fob. " Why," said the tailor, " I thought it was not necessary, as I found the duplicate of your watch in your old breeches pocket." The King of Bavaria is dead. His Majesty was seized with' an apoplectic fit, on the 13th of last month. He was in his 70th year. He is suc- ceeded by the Prince Royal of Bavaria, who was born in 1786, and married in 1810 a Princess of tVie House of Saxe. Hildburghausen.
