Tbe S'AtE of tbe LLWVNDEKW ESTATE ( see 1st page) hitherto advertised to take place on the 28th instant, is POSTPONED to MONDAY, the FIFTH ot' DECEMBER. gBf The order for withdrawing the advertisement of a Laundress wanted, was not received until the 1st page of our journal had been worked off. tg^ r* " REMINISCENCES" shall appear next week, GGY " RAIL ROADS AND CANALS, OR 1S30," in our next. JJGJ- WEIGHTS AND MEASURES,— AS the New Act for establishing uniformity of Weights and Measures will commence its operation on the Ist of January next, we have in our 4th page, given a correct Abstract and Analysis of the intended regulations; and we are anxious to draw public attention to the subject, as a statement of an appa- rently similar kind torour own lias appeared in many London and Provincial Papers, in which tbe directions given for converting tbe quantities of tbe old and new- measures of capacity into eacb other, arc PRECISELY TILE REVERSE OP THE MODE WHICH OUGHT TO BE ADOPTED. Editor's of Papers, who have promulgated tbe errors alluded to, cannot too speedily correct their mistakes. TS^ IF POACHING EXTRAORDINARY!— The Editor of the Chronicle, in his last Paper, says the accouut he gave of Hugh Owen's transaction is " true— rigidly TRUE." That Owen was convicted and sentenced, as he mentioned, is " true;" but any one who Compares the account as given in the Salopian Journal ( the whole of which was furnished by tbe Magistrate himself, who knows the man, his character, and cottfluct,) with that published in the Chronicle, will find a irtaterial difference in the version. One or other must be either a false or very paitial state, ment; anil whether the account given by a notorious and convicted poacher, or that by a highly respectable Mag is trate, be correct, tbe writer in the Journal leaves to the public to determine. As to the writer's lingers being pro- perly or improperly employed, so far as tbe opinion of tbe Editor of the Chronicle is to decide, is of no import: it is sufficient for tbe writer to know, that bis fingers have never been used for such purposes as tbe Editor of the Chronicle has been charged with, whose respect for the laws, and for those who dispense them, lias been too strik- ingly evinced upon more than one occasion, and is loo well known to require a single observation.

On Thursday last, aged 69, Mr. Thomas Tiiley, of Colehaui, in this town. We have much pleasure in referring our Readers to Ihe Resolutions ot the recent Mepling al Llany- roynech, as it gives the assurance that the. hitherto dangerous pass of the River Viroicw will lie avoided, and Ihe public will also receive the ad. dititmal accommodation of a very good road in lhat direction'.— It is but justice lo observe that, fur Ihis excellent undertaking Shropshire and the adjoining Counlies of Montgomery and Denbigh are much indebted lo the Viscount Clive, the Earl of Bradford, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, and Ihe other Noblemen and Gentlemen whose names appear un the Committee.— The plans of the Bridge and Roads have been submitted for the inspection of Mr. Penson, the Surveyor of this County, according to ihe forms required by tbe Ael of Parliament. They have been approved of by him, and we . understand the Committee havedtr^- ed the greatest assistance from his ability anil advice. Lately was delivered at Prees the 18th Anniver- sary Sermon, hy the Rev. E. Ncvile, M. A. Vicar of Precs and Rector of Whixall, when a collection was made for clothing the children of poor parents who attend Church, which amounted to upwards of £ 15. — In three out of four schools wherein poor hildreu are educated, the present Vicar of Precs has long paid quarterly for books, such as bibles spelling- books, testaments, and prayer- books, fur. nished gratis when wanted. The dwelling house of Ihe Rev. J. Geary, at Donninglon, in this county, was broken open and robbed on Sunday night last — A reward of £ 60 is offered for the apprehension of the offenders. ACTON RKYNALD HALL.— Oo Sunday last, Al lot) Reynold Hall, the scat of A. V. Corbel, Esq narrowly escaped destruction by fire. It appears that on Thursday a fire was, for the first time this season, placed in Ihe stove from whence flu conduct the heat lo different parts of the mansion, the fire of which was suffered lo go out every evening. On one end of Ihe brickwork belonging to the stove, which was two bricks thick, rested a large beam, which, it is supposed, must have ignited from Ihe brickwork, for oil one of the servants coming down stairs soon after six o'clock on Sunday morning, it was found nearly burnt through, and, with the rafters, quite in ablaze Ihe servant roused the family, and the tire was got under before much damage had been done. Had Ihe flame hurst forth in the middle of the night, there is little doubt the mansion would have been burnt lo Ihe ground. Inquests have been taken before Joseph Dicken Esq. one of the Coroners of Ihis county, since the 21st nil. on five persons killed in stone pits aud coal- pits; two burned to death; one drowned two scalded; two found dead; one killed by boat; one killed by a cart; aud one by falling down stairs.— Verdicts accordingly. and whoever beard his Lordship's Address at the • Anniversary Dinner will re- echo this opinion ; his acquaintance with Hospitals on a large scale must convince every one that no man can be more capable ; and 1 can say, for my own part, having a large property in tbe county, that I should wish to see tiie Salop Infirmary placed ou the very best possible scaie. The name of Lord Hill was then placed on the Committee. • , . ••• . j , i . i The Hon. R. H.

On ^ Thursday last, pursuant to notice ad vertised, Special General Board of the Trustees was held the infirmary, " to consider the present state of he Infirmary, and to adopt such measures as may seem expedient and we have a proud satisfaction in stating' that, high as the' Institution deservedly stands in public estimation, a more numerous and espectable meeting could not have been antici- see tbe heads of three, families w- hiclfc- bave held igh place in the County for nearly e^ ght centuries itting on three adjoining- seats ou sueh an, occasion, namely, Sir Baldwin Leighton, Bart.

The Earl of KILMOREY moved that Lord Hill Should take the Chair; the motion was adopted unanimously, and with acclamation. Lord HILL, having taken the chair, said—" My Lords— Gentlemen, I want words to express niy regret thai there are not seats enough for your accommodation, and my satisfaction in observing that the meeting is so numerous as to require such an apology ; and the inconvenience will be the less felt, as I am sure all present have but one object iu view, and there will uot be occasion for your being kept standing for any long time. When I say, and I do so with confidence, that the general Geutlemen connected with the Infirmary had been already provided for, Mr. CLIVE begged to propose Jg- dward Burton, Esq. Mr. BURTON said he was already a Director, and he was uot sure that he could with propriety hold the two situations. Lord HILL said bethought that could he no ob- jection ; and he should be extremely sorry if the Committee were deprived of Mr. Burton's valuable assistance. JOSKPH STITTON, Esq. then proposed that Arch- deacon Owen should be of tne Committee,— Mr. CLEMENT begged leave to second that motion. Archdeacon OWEN.— I am, like Mr Burton, a Director; but if the situations should not he in- compatible, I shall be happy to render every service in my power. Lord CLIVK said it would be extremely desirable to secure the assistance of some of the Directors on the Committee. The only difficulty was, out of so many valuable names, which to take, as it would not be desirable to have too large a Committee. I see the name of Mr. Hopkins in the list of Directors, and 1 am sure his services would be a great acquisition. Lord HILL trusted that Mr. Archdeacon Owen and Mr. Burton would waive any objection to being on the. Committee. Both those gentlemen acquiesced, if compatible with their situation as Directors ; and their names were placed on the Committee. EDWARD BURTON, Esq.— There are at present only four names on the Committee : I thought Lord Clive had mentioned Mr. Hopkins. Lord CLIVE. - I know the value of Mr. Hopkins's services ; aud I certainly think it would be desir- able to have him on the Committee. The name of Mr. Hopkins was accordingly added R. A. SLANEY, Esq— There is one Gentleman, whose services are well known aud acknowledged in the County j and as a Committee- man his exer-* tions will be extremely valuable— I mean Mr. Kenyon. The proposal was received with much approba- tion j and Mr. Kenyon's name was placed on the Committee. Mr. SUTTOX called the attention of the Meeting to the mode iu which the assistance of the Medical Gentlemen would be made available.— Archdeacon OwEN and Lord HILL observed that the residence every proprietor wouUI willingly a nd joyfully con tribute to the full completion of a work,- iu which every individual is partly concerned. Every one must naturally wish to see the history of his property traced to its original holder, and no one would blush to know, that his present estate was, anciently, part of the possessions of the prin- cipal men in this kingdom. It may, perhaps, be necessary to hint at the pro- priety of the draicing and engraving of all private buildings being executed at the expense of iheir owners ; but public edifices, remarkable ruins, and curious churches or monuments, should be inserted in the work at the expense of the committee. And it is to be hoped that those Noblemen and Gentle- men, who might wish to have their seats intro- duced, would take the recommendation of their draughtsmen and engravers from the committee, in order that proper justice might be done to their places, and that the engravings might be a real ornament to the work.

DONNINCTON, NOT. 21ST, 1825. Tew private individuals have been more generally respected in life, or more deeply lamented in death, than Mrs. Botfield, of Norton- hall, in the county of Northampton ( relict of Beriah Botfield, Esq", and only daughter of the late Dr. Withering), whose decease occurred, after a protracted indisposition, ou the 26th ult. in the 47th year of her age. Of the character of this lady, a friend has supplied the following just reminiscence:— 44 While she concili- ated the esteem and regard of all who had an opportunity of observing the exemplary manner in which she performed the duties and the charities of life, she peculiarly endeared herself to her nearer connections, by au unremitting affectionate atten- tion, aud by the magnanimity with which she supported herself under circumstances the most trying. Convinced that there is no inoperative piety, twelve years of widowhood subdued not the noble energies of her soul experience of the world and its vicissitudes served but to chasten an exu- berant, vivacity while genuine religion sublimed all that was excellent in her nature. Connected as she continued to be with the higher circles, by the ties of an elegant hospitality and social intercourse, the poor and destitute were her special charge: to them her bounty proved an ever- flowing fountain of relief 5 nor was her fostering care less assidu ously extended to the rising generation. And when, alas! the season for the active virtues ( by her so diligently improved) was prematurely closed, not less instructively beamed forth the passive graces of resignation and conformity to the Divine wiil. Rarely has been witnessed a more impressive spectacle than that presented by a whole community of mourners, on committing the mortal remains of this benefactress. to " the house appointed for all living;'" never were obsequies attended with more unfeigned sorrow. The tenantry, the representa- tives of the neighbouring families, relatives, and dependants, were prompt to testify their sense of the real loss all had sustained. Nor least affecting was the sable line of fifty children of the schools, which closed the sad procession, Obvious was the sympathy of those innocents; while the entire demeanour of the assembled villagers evinced that grief supplanted gratitude ; and, in truth, over the sacred . spot, where" the flesh rests in hope/' already has been Wept a tomb of tearsy, ' Visiting Clergyman this week at tbe Infirmary, the Rev.

COLEHAM.— Au advertisement appears in ou columns this day which will be noticed with satisfaction : we allude to the one which announces the formation of a new line of road in the suburb of Colcham, which line is intended to be placed above the reach of floods, the recurrence of which has hitherto been the occasion of great inconvenience, iind sometimes disaster, along the present road. We understand, Mr. Charles Stanton has engaged Bridgnorth New Theatre for the next Season, and bis company ( who are now performing at Hereford) will be at Bridgnorth early in January next j the Theatre is now undergoing an alteration, at a ver great expense, for the better accommodation of tbe audience. We are happy to observe, that an alteration of the road to Pool, with a view to avoid the Wind- mill Hill on that road, is about to be made. Another line of road, also intended to avoid this hill, was projected by Mr. Penson; but, as the expense of carrying it into effect would have prevented other improvements on the same line taking place, it was given up,— Henry Lyster, Esq. has very liberally presented to the Com tnissioners the ground necessary for the work ; and the Viscount Clive and David Pogh, Esq. of LlanerchydoJ, have also been extremely liberal in their offers to facilitate and promote the intended improrcment, which will be coinmenccd forthwith.

Lord HILL expressed his obligations to the Gen- tlemen present, for their attendance; and for the will be avoided* and the Trustees will, at a future 1 great arid general attention at all times paid to the meeting, be furnished with proposals on which to j interests of the Institution. decide. As Chairman, however, I shall be happy to attend to any suggestion which Gentlemen have to make on this occasion.> v Tbe Hon. THOMAS KENVON suggested, that a statement of the Funds should be laid before the Meetin^ Lord " HILL.— That, I conceive, will not. be re quired at present. It wiil be the business of the Committee, if yon should appoint one, to consider what alteration or. enlargement may be necessary; and when they make their report, a statement of the funds in hand, as well as of those which are requisite, will of course form a part of that report. Lord CLIVE tlien commenced the framing of the first resolution; and Lord HILL observed, that in large assemblies, such as either House of Parlia- ment, it was found that measures were: best pro- moted by first referring them; to a Committee to digest; as any preliminary discussion generally retarded, rather than promoted, the wishes of those interested in the subject. On the question as to what period should be appointed for the Committee to make their Report, Mr. CLEMENT suggested the Shropshire Hunt Week ( in January). Archdeacon OWEN considered that period too early : nothing in the way of building could be done in the winter; no time would, therefore, be lost if a somewhat more distant period Were fixed, which would afford the Committee time to mature their plans. JOSEPH SUTT6N, Esq. suggested that the meeting should take place in the Lent Assize Week, on the first day of the Assizes.— This suggestion received very general approval. THOMAS PEMBEUTON, Esq. expressed his fears lest the Judges shonld require an early attendance of the Grand Jury on that day. Lord HILL said, he was sure, if such were to be the case, the Judges, when they, knew the occasion for which gentlemen were absent, would grant The assembly then dispersed. fgistorj? of To the Editor of the Salopian Journal.

Mr. Wiekstead's hounds met at Almington, on Monday se'nnight, after killing a fox in a covert, drew a large tract of country, and found at Ellerton Gorse, at half- past two: ran him to Knighton and Bat char re, where he turned to the right of Flash Brook Heath, to Hinstock, Ercall Heath, and crossed Keen ton Forge Pool, to Coveton, J every indulgence.— Mr. PEMBEHTON assented to his J Lordship's opinion, and said, that upon consirfera- 1 tion, he recoilccted a similar occasion on which j their Lordships had granted that indulgence. | Lord HILL said, the question now was as to the I time for the next meeting. It had been thought advisable that every information possible should be obtained from distant Institutions . of a similar nature, in order to the adoption of the; most im- proved plan. It certainly was most advisable, in order to obtain a numerous attendance of the friends of. the Infirmary, that the meeting should take place at a public time, of which all should be fully apprized, and which should now receive the sanc- tion of all present, as the necessary arrangements for attending on that day could then more easily be made by every gentleman. Power might be given to the Committee to fix another day for the meeting, if it should be thought requisite, though he felt extremely anxious that some specific time should be now appointed, in order that they may not have to regret their unavoidable absence on an occasion so interesting to the County. The Hon. R. H. CLIVE said he felt extremely anxious to be present at fhe meeting, and he was afraid that he could not attend in the Assize Week. — It was then considered whether the Meeting should take place, in the Epiphany Sessions Week, the Easter Week, or if it would be advisable to postpone the Meeting until the Summer Assizes R. A. SLANEY, Esq.— If the meeting is postponed till the Summer Assizes, it will probably preclude any improvement taking place in the Infirmary for another year. The motion, as framed by Lord CLIVE, was then proposed by bis Lordship," seconded by the Rev. Archdeacon OWEN, and carried unanimously.— See Advert. Lord HILL.— The next thing for the consideration of the meeting will be the appointment of the Com- mittee which is to carry the resolution we have adopted into effect. I believe, though the Statutes of the Infirmary empower us to ballot on these occasions, we may, if we choose, proceed by the other more usual mode of election. The Board of Directors are a body to whom all who feel an interest in the Institution must also feel greatly indebted for their attendance and services; and I have no doubt they will cordially concur with the Committee in every measure that shall appear likely to promote the good of the Infirmary. There is one person that, of all other, I should wish to be on the Committee ; I mean my noble friend, Lord Clive. I know he has much business— Parliamentary and other affairs— to attend to; but his Lordship does get through so much business, and so well, that I am sure the next meeting will be proud to receive the Report of the Committee at his hands. The name of Lord Clive was then unanimously placed as the first on the Corn mil tee. Archdeacon OWEN suggested the propriety of the Committee calling in the assistance of the Medical Gentlemen connected with the Infirmary. Lord MILL.— Certainly ; the Institution and the public have received so much benefit from thei: assistance, thai I am sure they ought to be con suited as to the ventilation and other requisite points. Archdeacon OWEN.— I must beg to propose Nobleman as a member of the Committee, than whom, lam sure, no person has more the welfare of the Charity at heart— Lord HILL Lord HILL.— I must thank the Archdeacon for his high opinion ; I shall be particularly happy if rr, . . . . , • , I I can render any assistance in so good a work ; and I luce Hills, Ktnnerslcy Moors, and stopped the t R, M: T - I „ II , I , . .

Out of thirty horses that started, only six saw the Lord CLIVE.— I am sure, Gentlemen, no person eud of the chase. | can be better suited to the task than bis Lordibip At a period like the present, when Literature and the Fiue Arts have arrived at an astonishing degree of perfection in this country— whilst our Architect- ural and Monumental Antiquities & re exemplified in the splendid volumes of Britton, Blore, and Neale — whi Ist the names of Scott, Camp be II, Rogers, and Soutbey, stand pie eminent in the departments of Pbetry and Fiction— whilst the general Annals of our Country are resplendent in the pages of a Hunte, a Lingard, and an Andrewes— and the local Histories of several of the Counties of the kingdom are skilfully set forth iu the learned and elaborate productions of a Hoare* a Nichols, a Fosbroke, and a Whitaker :— in short, whilst. Literature, in all its various branches, has probably arrived at a greater pre- eminence in the present than in any former age— is it not surprising that the COUNTY O? SALOP should remain a blank in the department of History ? that the illustrious events which have taken place therein ; that the splendid remains of Architecture, which still remind us of the piety or supersti- tion of our ancestors; that the examples of piety, virtue, learning, patriotism, and valour, of its numerous eminent Natives, should all sink into the unfathomable abyss of Oblivion, from the want of the timely and judicious aid of the local Historian ? The only reason or excuse which can possibly be assigned for such neglect is, that although numerous learned and highly respectable individuals have sedulously collected considerable and1 valuable materials for such an undertaking, yet the' publica- tion of a County History is a work that necessarily requires such an intensity of labour and careful investigation, united with considerable expense, that, to use the language of Mr. Wyndham, in the preface to his translation of part of Domesday Book, few people can be expected to engage in an operation, the trouble and expense of v^ hich would be great and certain, and the termination thereof carcely to be hoped for during the existence of a ingle life. Besides, supposing a person should be found hardy enough to undertake such a work on the dependence ot a common subscription to sup. ) ort its expeuses, few people, it is conceived, would ike to risk their subscriptions on the precarious uncertainty of ever seeing the History; inasmuch as it would depend upon the honesty and industry of the undertaker, and would also be liable to mis- carriage on his death or illness. Allow ine, therefore, through the medium of your columns, to submit to the consideration of the Nobility and Gentry of Shropshire the following suggestions for completing so desirable an object as THE HISTORY OF SHROPSHIRE, extracted, with some trifling alterations, from Mr. Wyndham's preface above- mentioned. A general subscription to be opened of not less than twenty guineas. Every subscriber of twenty guineas to be entitled to one copy of the work when published, and also to one copy for each other twenty guineas which he may choose to subscribe. The price of copies to nou- subscribers to be thirty guineas, or such other sum as the Committee shall fix as soon as the num- ber and value of the volumes can be ascertained. The profits arising from the publication to be proportionally divided among- all the subscribers in general, or to be disposed of as a majority at a meeting called for the purpose shall direct. A committee of five or more to have the manage- ment and conduct of the work. The subscription money to be lodged in the hands of a banker, and to be drawn for, as occasion may require, by order of the committee. If any person should wish to recede from the committee, or should, by any misfortune, be inca- pable of attending it, the remaining part of the committee might elect another in his place. And as it does not seem necessary, that every committee- man . should be a subscriber ( though perhaps the majority of them ought to be), some ingenious men might be admitted, to whom it might be inconvenient to subscribe, and whose assistance would be very useful and desirable. As soon as £ 4000 should be subscribed, the committee might immediately be chosen, either by personal election, or hy proxy, or by the recommendatory letters of the subscribers. The committee, when appointed, might elect their secretary, and proceed upon the work ; and as they would soon engage, each in their respective departments, the most able historians, antiquaries, draughtsmen, heralds, botanists, engravers, & c. & c. it seems probable that a HISTORY OF THE COUNTY, which has hitherto been considered as the labour of twenty or thirty years, might easily be effected within the short period of three or four. And even this period might be shortened, if the Country Gentlemen could be persuaded liberally to communicate abstracts of their ancient deeds and papers, or at least suffer the committee to employ proper persons to make such extracts from them as might be necessary towards the perfection of the work. It has been justly complained of in other Coun ties, that papers of the utmost consequence to their Histories have, with an useless precaution, been timidly with hoi den from public inspection, under the futile idea that the titles of the proprietors might, by a free communication, be called in ques- tion ; but I have too good an opinion of my country- men, to suppose them biassed by such unmanly sentiments, and am rather inclined to think> that WALES.

CORN EXCHANGE, NOV! 21. We had a very fair supply of all grain, and * large arrival of Flour last week, added to which there was a good show of Wheat and Barley this morning from Essex and Kent, but very little from any other county. Fine fresh s: . nplcs of the former article met ready sale, and fully supported last Monday's currency; but for the inferior qualities there was scarcely any demand. Notwithstanding the anxiously expected event, Tiz. the opening of the Ports for Barley, has at length arrived, we might naturally have looked for lower prices ; but such was not the case, for prime Suffolk runs fully maintained last week's prices, and were much sought after, but scarcely t » ny appeared, owing to contrary winds. It is the inferior qualities of Eng- lish Barley which are likely to be affected hy the admission of Foreign, las those from abroad wilt amply satisfy the Corn Chandler, and in some measure, the distillers.

SPORTING— The P'ast^ g Harriers afforded a large field of staunch Sportsmen some fine fun . on Tuesday week.— A Fox was turned down before this crack pack, and led the following mazy course: — He was turned down at Rhos v- Braner, near Mold, from whence he ran to the Pigeon House, to Hope Owen, through the closes of Ibuse Farms lo Shordley Covers, where he tirsl tried to earth, aud then made for Kmnerton, where the hounds closed him, aud never put their noses to the ground until ihey sot to Dndleston Moor. Reynard next made for Camber- A'yn, crossed the serpentine course of Ihe river twice, over the meadows lo the turnpike road, through Trevallyn Park, on towards Common Wood, where he met a Greyhound, who chased him'; escaping his enemy, he took a direction towards Marford Hili, over the turnpike road, the. ice dow n tbe Cliffs, and through the covers lo Grisfoul Vale, where he again took the river; here they came lo a check for ten minutes, a view was hallooed near Llai Cottage, where Ihey went aivay, a fine hurst ensued, aud taking ihe beach, poor Reynard was run into, after a most persevering and indefatigable chase of an hour and thirty- five minutes, near Gresford Cbureh- yard.

On Saturday died, al his residence, in Marsham. street, Westminster, Mr. J. Kennedy, at a very advanced age, ami after a lingering illness. For many years he had been head door keeper at the House of Commons, and was well known lo Ihe several Members and to ihe frequenters of the Commons" lobby. In such situation he amassed a considerable fortune, and had large estates in his native county ill Wales. He was a great and intimate favourite with the late Chief Baron Richards ; with whom he used frequently to dine. Though the situations of tbe two persons nominally were so different, they were neighbours born ; had been educated together, and through after life continued oil the most friendly terms. His age and infirmities compelled Mr. K. to retire from exertion at the lattere ml of last Session. Mr. S. Spiller is bis successor as bead door- keeper; a place of great emolument.

CAUTION TO BANKERS AND TRADESMEN.— Something more than a year ago, a parcel of Bank of England notes were stolen from the porter of Messrs. Snow and Paul, in London, and the particulars of the notes were at Ihe time m i « -• public ; but an interval of so many months having thrown even cautious people off Iheir guard, some persons, no doubt directly or indirectly concerned in Ihe robbery, have taken advantage of the hustle of tbe Doncaslor races and Ihe Yorkshire festival, to push Ihe stolen property into circulation to a considerable amount. At Doncaster nearly £ 1000, at York £ 500, and al Scarborough £ 200 have beeu paid, and the holders of the notes have no clue whatever to Ihe persons of whom Ihey were re- ceived. Messrs. Snow and Co. have commenced actions against some if not against all the unfor. lunate holders of these notes, and it is very probable that they will recover the value of the notes in each case, as they are supported by decisions on cases of a similar nature. CAUTION TO COUNTRY PUBLICANS.— In the course of Wednesday evening, a man on horseback called al Ibe Loggerheads, and at the Swan, Black- brook, two public- houses on the Drayton road, aud at each place was successful in passing a forced £ 5 note. The same fellow asked for change for a £ 10 note al a public- house at VVhitmorc, but, fortunately, did not obtain it. As this mode of fraudulent dealing appears lo be reduced into a system, we give a general caution to country ion- keepers. A petty shoe- manufacturer of Stafford, lasl week, paid the mitigated penally of £ 20, for pur. chasing leather, the property of Mr. James Corn, well, from a journeyman employed lo make it an into shoes.

The reading. of the report was followed by some conversation tending to the same object * Mr. O'ConnclI stated, that u Ihe rent" was to be again collected ; adding, that £ 13,000 of the olj nt remained unexpended. Aud the same gentlcr nifin, prDposcd to give a grand dinner to the Bishops of Norwich and Rochester, which he said would sound well in England. DISSOLUTION OF HUMBUG COMPANIES!— Monday, Messrs.. Everett and Co. we're paying ofF the deposits upon the shares in the following Cum. anies The Antwerp, the Dieppe, and She Havre de Grace Steam Navigation Companies. All of hese have been dissolved, in Cons qneuce, it is supposed, of theimpediments ( the language; generally used by those who commenced the forma- tion of deceptions of the kind) which presented themselves ;, and the directors keep to themselves^ for the discharge of imaginary expenses, one fourth of the money subscribed, LoRO B eLOR AVE,— A most interest ins? a'ddress^ • ece'mly delivered by this Nobleman, tfill be found in our 4th page.— The family of Grosvenor derive heir descent from the famous Danish ClViefta'm Rolfa, who with his sword carved himself a do- minion in iNormaudy, and erected it into a Duke- dom. At tlie period of the Conquest,.. the Earldom f Chester was given by William to Gherbod, a Flemish Nobleman,, and on his decease, the grant was transferred to the Conqueror ' a Nephew, Hugh Lupus ( the Wolf), and ihe Palatinate jurisdiction of the Earl was, in every respect but title, invested . with regal authority.. " The strong hold and seat of he Earl was the Castle of Chester'; and here we trace the first intimate interrourSe between that Potentate aud the Citizens of Chester. The family name of Grosvenor, has its origin in the office tts which he who came over with William was ap- pointed, that of Gros Ve. neur— or the Great Hunter,— a place similar to that now held by the Master of the King's Horse.— rHugh Lupus was he Uncle of Gilbert le Grosvenor, and to his son Robert were assigned Over Los toe k, Farudon^ Little Budworlh, & c. Other branches of the Grosvenors were settled in different parts of the Palatinate, and several of them held high offices in he Royal and Palatinate armies, iu 1102, we find iJlger Grosvenor with Roger FitzCorbet, and Robert Nevil, took part wilh their neighbour th « Earl of Shrewsbury, and held Bridgnorth against Hen I — Henry Ic Giosvenor took part with the Empress Maude against Stephen. Robert le Grosvenor followed (.' ottur de Lion to Palestine', d his descendant, Sir Robert ! e Grosveuor, served under Eilw. ISL in the French Wars, and was killed at the siege of Calais. The grand chivalric suit between Sir Richard le Scrope aud Sir Robert le Grosvenor, iu which the celebrated Geoffrey Chaucer appeared as a witness, must be too well known to be particularized here, as is the per- manent settlement of this illustrious family at Eaton. From that period to the present their history may be said to be connected with that of Chester, HEIR TO THE HOUSE OF EATON.—- The cere- mony of admitting Hugh Lupus Grosvenor, the infant son of Lord Belgrave, within the pale of the christian church, took place at the baptismal font in Eccleston church on Monday morning.— The sponsors were the Countess of Grosvcnor,, Lord Stanley and Lord Leveson Gower.— The ceremonial was succeeded by a grand Dinner, Ball, and Supper, to which the principal families of the neighbourhood xvere invited.— The auspicious event was also celebrated by a public dinner at the Feathers Inn, Chester; at which ihe Mayor of thut city presided. MURDER.— Ou Wednesday night, a most horrid and cruel murder was committed in a house'on the back of Pailiamcnt Row, Nottingham. Samuel Wood, a bobbin and carnage- maker, who resided with his wife and three children, at ihe above house, had been drinking until he became partly intoxicated; and at the above time he went home and asked his wife for money to get more drinks a request which she refused to comply, with; ou which some words arose, and the wretch seizing a coal pick, struck his wife eight heavy blows upon her head and face, which killed heron tbe spot. A girl, about 13 years of age, was iu the house, and seeiiiir the tragic event, s ushed to the door and led- otit Murder! Several persons were passing at the moment, and ran to the spot just as the perpetrator was'effecting his escape, and secured him. The Coroner's ( niftiest have returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Wood. Warrants were transmitted on the 17th to the Keeper of Dorchester Gaol, for the liberation of Richard Carlile, without bail or at: y other restraint.

Tiie Joint- Slock Schemes seem to fall into pieces even with more facility than they were created. Like the Empress Catharine's palaces of ice, their solidity was hut the deception of a season, and is now melting rapidly awav. When Cervantes, with the inimitable pleasantry of his satire, shamed ihe follies of knight- errantry o « it of the world, he did not sketch more absurd delusions of human nature, than a licentious passion for gold has exhibited in bur own days'. The madness of knight errantry was however jof a generous kind, but the frenzy » f Joint- Slock Companies was supported as much by. sordid ness of heart, as weakness of understanding.. The projectors of' ttiosV of those Companies, of which London has seen tbe rise and fall within the last two years, were a' most unprincipled clans of men. In many instances' they were insolvents, whose despe- rate circumstances called their fertile inventions into life, to gain by gambling speculations a live It hood which they bad not honest industry to procure In some cases the golden plan" was matured within the walls of a prison, and the "' prospectus, like the talisman of the enchanter, changed the debtors' cell for a drawing- room with Turkey car. pets, and transformed captivity into a directorship The persons who became the dupes of such schemes were as much to blame as themselves; for in Vain would knaves open a gambling house, if it were not frequented by the covetous fools that speculate on sudden riches. They consequently deserve no pity; but vet we sincerely hope that all who have been the * offerers by such schemes as originated in misrepre- sentation aud imposture, will, if they can by any means, bring the authors of them into a conn of law. It is only fitting that the public should get a little insight into the actual manner in which some, if not the most of them, were concocted. We hope the Directors ( especially the salaried" ones), solicitors, counsel, bankers, architects, mine- grubbers, survey- ors, builders, ground- rent men, & e. Sic. and, above all, those active plausible fk men of business"— the salaried secretaries, will be made to account for the aid which they gave to those projects of delusion, by which the public have been abused and defrauded. It would also be well if the lists could be got at, and the names published of such gentlemen of both the. aristocratic - and patriotic press a a" had shares in such things, and in consequence have been, from time to time, slyly introducing interested paragraphs and fallacious statements, to puff the fraud and enable themselves to sell out at a premium, and leave the gulled purchasers in a serious responsibility for a concern not worth a straw. Too many proprietors— editors — city reporters, and even clerks of news- papers, have lent the assistance which their situations gave them to such nefarious projects, aud thereby brought no small odium and, discredit on the press. Some city reporters, in particular, for what is called the patriotic part of the press, have even made for- tunes by puffing those Schemes. By giving a fair confidence to public opinion, they were enabled to dispose of their own shares at a high premium, and then retire ou comfortable little fortunes of about £ 10,000 each. We have heard of one instance of this kind in particular. But there are more, exalted examples of the corrupt avarice and follies of th times. Noble Lords and honourable, Members— th hereditary and elected Legislators of the land— have been deeply implicated in Joint- stuck impositions. And notwithstanding such evidences of moral cor- joption, we call ourselves a reformed nation— an enlightened nation. We call ourselves a pious gene ration. We say we are specially illumined— that the rest ofthe worjd are in darkness, and that they can only remove from error and sinfulness in proportion as they become like ns. But was a nation ever truly righteous that so worshipped Mammon, as we have seen u that Divinity" worshipped, at the expense of all claims to virtue, wisdom, aud honour? Such lucrative impositions as the healing efficacy ascribed to the bones of saints, the fragments of the true cross, &, c. we at once denounce as absurd, and only to be tolerated among a benighted people ; yet mercantile delusions have been practised with success of late which were quite as gross aud as repugnant to reason as those theological impostures. To suppose that certain hits of paper, which some crafty men got neatly printed and circulated, would create, by magic, wealth out of nothing, was as ridiculous to tlie full as to believe in tlie miracles of ildhenloe, or the liquefaction of St. Januurius's blood. What produced such imbecility of mind, but an eage the most obnoxious to the country. It is well and commendable to filrord alt possible extension and encouragement to trade and' commerce; but it is nfinitely better to protect the domestic comforts of the people at large, and to enable them to enjoy the necessaries of lib', by removing from them the pressure ofa burthen which they endured unmur- muriugly w hilst the interests of the country demand- ed it, but which they aie still called upon lo endure, in order that foreign luxuries may pass comparatively ree into our ports. To the aristocracy of England the weight of Taxation, in whatever form ii may appear, matters comparatively little. The members ; of that aristocracy have wealth for all the necessaries as well as the superfluities of life :—' The mercantile men of England find ( heir interests sufficiently protected, and are enabled, by their profits and the reduction of duties on their imports and their ex- ports, to disi'eourd the levy ofthe Assessed Taxes. But if these two classes be entitled to consideration, how much more so are those who have neither wealth nor trade w hereby to provide for their common com- forts, and are yet subject to the exaction of duties which press them to the very earth. How many are there throughout the land whose circumscribed incomes but ill accord with the con- dition or rank of life in which they are placed, aud upon whom these Taxes operate with ruinous severity? Mow many are there, who in struggling to obtain the very means of existence, by the drudgery of letting their houses out in lodgings, and who could make from such a source hut a slender pittance see even that pittance wrested from them by the grasp of Taxation ? Such destructive consequences are of too general notoriety, and surely, surely, if these things were fairly represented- to Ministers, they would exclude from tlie benefit of their indul- gence— if we must call h so— tbe very class of people to whom, above all others, it would be an actual re- lief.— A Metropolitan Contemporary truly observes, 44 In the order of human wants, after food and raiment, habitation is next in degree, aud the Assessed Taxes, especially the House and Window Tax, press upou this last of the necessities of our common condition with particular hardship and severity. Acknowledging, as we do, that a large and liberal trade, a free and expanding commerce, ; J cheap consumption of luxuries, and a prosperous order of merchants nnd traders, are public benefits : — Admitting, tile full advantages to be derived from the manifest improvement in our civil condition,— we still cannot help thinking, that the cheap enjoy- ment of our houses, their commodiousness, their airiness, their comforts, their cleanliness aud health, and even their beauty, all of which, are so much in- terrupted and impaired by the Mouse and Window Tax, should be taken into the consideration of Ministers, and vindicate their just share of attention with the other interests of the community. " Nor is there any just cause to believe that ( hi removal of these faxes would be a dead loss of their amount to the Revenue, or in fact would be pro- ductive of any other result than what has attended the removal of the . Wine and Spirit Tax. There is every reason lo believe that the money thus pre served to tlie householder, and to the person of fixed income, would constitute a fund, which would he Circulated in a more liberal expenditure, and a larger consumption of all articles in the general market, and would thus at once feed the trade and improve the; Revenue of the kingdom. We would almost venture fo give our direct assurance, that such would be tire sure and immediate event of the removal of the Assessed Taxes." 44 But it is in vain to recommend this measure to Government unless the people themselves will concur in pressing it forward by vigorous, timely, and general petitioning,— before the meeting of Parlia- ment.— No time ought to be lost.— The housekeepers and inhabitants of all the towns and cities throughout England, should hold meetings for this purpose, and ftstruct their representatives to present their peti ions to the House of Commons.— They are sure of the fellow- feeling of the members of both Houses on this head. They all. Peer and Commoner, desire this mode of relief, as being most important to them, and will gladly avail- themselves of the opportunity of enforcing it." the standard measures and w eights, but not other- w ise. All weights and measures made after the ist! of January, 1826, are to be" conformable to the new • standard. £ His5£ cl!. ramu0 EnfetUgrace. Dispatches dated July 25, have been received from Captain Franklin, at Fort Cbepewyan. The xpedition entertained the hope of reaching Bear Lake before the frost set iu. They were all in good health aud spirits. Ryc> one of the Cinque Ports, sends two- Mem- bers to Parliament— but the power of returning them has been for some years in the bat yds of an oligarchy, who have restricted the right of freedom within narrow limits, so as still to keep possession of the important truth. Some spirited individuals, in opposition to this authority, have assumed their right, by scot andr lot, to elect a Mayor for the borough— and at this moment there are two Mayors, one elected by each party, who have both exercised tbe functions of that office. At the last Quarter Sessions, by a ruse de guerre, the44 New Corporation" got possession of the Townball, and went through the business, to the great annoyance of the Old Members, who were obliged to hold their Court on the outside of the Hall. The Irish Journals are filled with details of the marriage of the Lord Lieutenant with Mr Patterson. The affair has been celebrated as jubilee by the Iloman Catholics, and, as far as we can judge, treated by the majority of the Pro- testants with prudent indifference. None of the Protestant Nobility attended the celebration, ex cept tbe Lord Primate, whose aid was officially demanded; and his Grace withdrew before the repetition of the ceremony by the titular Arch- bishop Murray. Tbe bells of tbe Roman Catholic places of worship were rang contrary to taw , and the ceremony of the mass, which Lord Welles, ley has sworn to be in his opinion, 4k damnable and idolatrouswas celebrated on Sunday in the Vice- regal Lodge, his Excellency attending, it is surmised, inasmuch as he did not attend any Pro. testant place of worship. This conciliating union was also celebrated by the re. assembling of the Catholic Association, and by an opening speech from Mr. O'Countll Mazurier ( the Punchinello) at Coven f. garden is paid the enormous weekly salary of £ 150, being at the rate of £ 25 per night. Previous to his treaty with Mr. C. Kemble, Mazurier was applied to on the part of Mr, Eiliston, and refused to take less than £ 40 per night, and sixty pounds each for the masks which he might require) Those indispensables are certainly masterpieces in their way; Mazurier's eyes alone are all that can be seen of his own countenance. Tbe mask is so firmly fitted to the face as to be susceptible of the most minute contraction or expansion by the motion of the actor's muscles. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, THURSDAY.— Jones Dinihes.— Mr. Taunton moved for a rule to show cause why the^ erdict obtained by the defendant in this cause should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The cause was tried at tbe last Assize at Gloucester, before Mr. Justice Burrough. It was an action to1 recover compensation in damages for an alleged libel, contained in a letter which had been written by the defendant, for whom a verdict was given.— Mr. Baron Graham considered ibis to be a privileged case, and one in which it was very difficult to raise any question of malice. If any circumstance of suspicion had arisen on the mind of one brother- in- law, had he not a right to com munieate it confidentially to another? It wa9 very true that the freedom of confidential communica tion might b^ abused, but b< ere was nothing of the WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. insatiable desire for sudden wealth, that could not wait the slow progress of honest industry ?. Is sue a spirit consistent with the moral superiority to which we so boldly advance our claim ? Can a nation that pretends to be religious be also a gambling nation. without exposing its religious character to the odium of hypocrisy ? Where was the virtue or honour that ought to have prevented, during the Joint- Stoc mania, Lords and Commoners, merchants, lawyers, be. from endeavouring to fill their pockets by taking advantage of the folly of their neighbours, and re- sorting to all sorts of unworthy artifices to keep up the delusion, and turn it to a profitable account ? We are sorry to say that such proceedings afford the fullest proof of a great and extensive corruption of heart; for nothing can be more adverse to the useful, steady application of men's talents, and the cultivation of every good principle, than the vice of inordinate and gambling avarice. What right have we to assume a moral supremacy in the world, when it is known that a gambling system has beeu going on, among us for some time, in which both Nobles, Commons, and a great proportion of the mercantile, legal, and literary classes have been deeply engaged ? " Not only have members of all those classes been dealers in fraudulent shares, but the presses of London, Paris, and Italy are still partially involved in the same scheming practices ; and there ought to be a rigorous investigation into the whole machinery of imposture by which the Joint- stock mania has been supported. Parliament is called upon to vin- dicate its own character, and restore the confidence of the country, hy an inquiry as rigid as that adopted iu the case of the South Sea Scheme, when several Members of the Legislature were expelled for prac- tices which were not worse or more mischievous than many which at the present day have had the sanction of exalted names. ASSESSED TAXES. The continued and unprecedented prosperity of tbe country, established upon principles of en- lightened and liberal policy which bid fair to ensure its permanency, affords the Government an oppor- tunity of ex tending to the people such relief as their patient and. voluntary contributions to the exigencies of the State, through a long protracted war, give them an unquestionable right to claim. . This can only be done b. y the removal of some portion of the Taxes, aud iu the contemplation of such a measure, the Minister who would acquire and maintain popu- larity, should cousidcr which species of Taxation is As the new'weights and measures come into use on the Ist of January, it is of importance to make the ublic familiar with the nature ofthe changes which will then be necessary. These changes, generally peaking, are not great'. Indeed, we think it would have been wise to carry them a little farther, and to concede less to existing practices and customs than the commissioners who framed the act have done. One radical error, we think, has been committed — the retaining two standard pounds— the pound troy and the pound avoirdupois. The former is used solely by goldsmiths, apothecaries, and philosophers, classes of men whose education aud habits would have rendered tire adoptiorr of a different standard extremely easy. It is true the pound avoirdupois will be the one in general use, but the very circum- stance that another pound exists, which is used in some cases, creates no small degree of that confusion and uncertainty which it was, the express object of the act Ur remedy. 1. The standard inch, footy yard, acre, and mile, remain the same as at present. 2. The pound, ounce, and pennyweight troy, and the pound, ounce, and dram" avoirdupois, remain also the same as at present. The pound troy is de- clared to he the unit from which all others are to be derived. It contains 5,760 grains; and the ounce troy contains 480 grains. The pound avoirdupois contains7000 troy grains, and the ounce avoirdupois 437 § . Thus we have still two different pounds, and two different ounce weights! As a means of re. storing the weights if they should be lost,' the cubic inch of distilled water is declared to be equal in weight to 252,458 grains— the barometer being at 30 inches, and the thermometer at 62 degrees. 3. The sole difference between the new system and the old lies in the gallon and the measures deduced from it. The new or imperial gallon is declared to contain ten pounds avoirdupois of dis- tilled water— the temperature and pressure being as above.— Hence we find lhat it contains 277. J, or more correctly, 277.27 cubic inches. Now the present wine gallon contains 231, aud the present ale gallon282 cubic inches. It follows that the new imperial gallon is to the old wine gallon as 0 to 5, and to the old ale gallon as 47 to 48, neglecting very minute fractions. Therefore, to convert wine gallons into imperial gallons, add one- fifth ; to convert imperial gallons into wine gallons, deduct one- sixth. To convert ale gallonsinto imperial gallons, deduct 1 - 48th part; to convert imperial gallons iuto al gallons, add l- 47th part. The new pint and quart being declared to be respectively the 8th and 4th part of the new gallon, hear the same proportion to the old pint and quart as the new gallon does to the old gallon. Two gallons are declared, to be a peck, and eight gallons a bushel, as at present. But the proportions here are not the same as in the cases of the pint and quart, because the old gallon for dry measure is neither the wine nor tbe ale gallon, but a gallon of 268.8 cubic inches. The imperial peck an< f bushel are, therefore, to the old Winchester peck and bushel as 277.27 to 268,8. Hence, to convert Win- chester bushels into imperial bushels, add l- 32d part; and to convert imperial iuto Winchester, deduct 1 _ 33d part. This is sufficiently near for practical purposes. The old Winchester bushel contains 2150.42 cubic inches; the new contains 2218.16. The new or imperial quarter has the same ratio to the old quarter, as the new bushel has to the old bushel. 44 The standard measure of capacity for coals, culm, lime, fish, potatoes, or fruit, and all other goods and things commonly sold by heap measure, shall be the aforesaid bushel, containing 80 pounds avoirdupois of water, the same being made round, with a p'ain and even bottom, and being 19 inches and a half from outside to outside, the goods in such measure to be heaped up to the form of a cone, such cone to be of the height of at least six inches, and the outside of the bushel to be the extremity of the base of such cone, and that three bushels shall be a sack, and 12 such sacks shall be a chaldron." It is further provided by the Act of the 6th Geo. IV. cap. 12, 44 That all such measures shall be made cylindrical, and the diameter of such measure shall be, at the least, double the depth thereof, and the height of the cone or heap shall be equal to three- fourths of the depth of the measure, the outside of the measure being the extremity or base of such cone." It is not obligatory on persons to buy and sell by those measures ; they may use the old measures, but when this is done, the ratio which the measures used to bear to the new standard measure must be specified, otherwise the contract of agreement is null and void. This will render it necessary to refer to the new measures in all written bargains. All bargains made w ithout a special reference to some other measure are held to be made according to the new measure. The existing weights and measures may be used if marked, so us to shew the proportion they have te kind, and, in his opinion, the verdict ought not to be disturbed.— Mr. Baron Garrow was clearly of opinion that the Court would not do its duty if it suffered this verdict to be disturbed; and Mr. Baron Hullock concurred with his Learned Bro- thers.— Rule refused. STOCKPORT.— We are sorry to announce, aays the Stockport Advertiser, that the present stagna tion in the cotton trade is extending its effects to the other branches of business connected with it. One of the most extensive machine makers in the town has been under the necessity of discharging a number of his workmen, and the example must be followed by others unless a speedy change takes place in the trade, of which there is at present no likelihood.— The typhus fever ia now prevalent here, in some of the confined and densely- populated streets, in which stagnated Water and filth are ac- cumulated. On Mouday week, in the Court of King's Bench, Mr. Campbell obtained a Rule, calling upon F. Hughes, Esq. Mayor of the Borough of Stafford, and' four capital Burgesses of that Borough, to shew cause why a criminal informa- tion, in the nature of a Quo Warranto, should not be filed against them, for having acted as Mayor aud capital Burgesses of that Borough. Sir John Cope lost his favourite and much admired hunter Tortoise, on Tuesday se'nnight, in a very extraordinary manner. Sir John had mounted him, as be thought, for a dashing run, and the hounds were challenging at fence, when Tortoise gave a sudden spring forward, dropped down, and expired. The worthy Baronet was of course dismounted, but we are happy to under- stand that be sustained no further injury than a few scratches from some brambles. Died, on Friday, Sept. 9, aged 32, at Konieh, in Oaramania ( the ancient Iconium), Thomas Ayre Bromhead, Esq. late of Christ's College, Cam bridge, only sou of the Rev. Edward Bromhead, of Repharny near Lincoln. This enterprising traveller, after an absence of five years from his native country, was hastening homewards, when arrested by sudden and fatal disease. He breathed his last with no attendants but his foreign servants, or the uncivilised natives ; and the sad satisfaction of knowing the closing events of his life seems denied to his numerons and deeply sorrowing friends. One of the companions of Mr. Brom- head's travels, the Rev. Joseph Cook, Fellow of Christ College, died on a camel under almost as melancholy circumstances, near the Palm Trees of Elim, in March ; and the other, Henry Lewis, Esq. R. N. after traversing Palestine in bis com- pany, parted from him at Beirut, in June, and returned to England. The same post brought bis own cheerful letters from Damascus, and the official announcement of his death by the Porte. LORD BELGRAYE.— On the 5th instant, the Mayor of Chester gave a grand dinner in the Ex- change, at jvhich Earl Grosvenor, the Viscount Belgrave, the Earl of Wilton, & c. & c. were present. — The Mayor having proposed the health of Lady Elizabeth Belgrave and the Infant Heir of the House of Eaton, which was received and drank with great enthusiasm,—• Lord BELGRAVE rose and said, the very wartii reception of the toast the Mayor had been so good as to propose to them, was indeed most gratifying to him. — He considered it a peculiar mark of their kind feeling' towards his family in having thus cordially drank to the health of one entirely unknown to them. — He observed, iLwas true that he whose health they had been drinking was likely to be placed in a situa- tion most responsible: for,' should his life be suffi- ciently prolonged, his sphere of action would be extensive, and he would have the coutjoul of that influence, which large possessions naturally entail. He would thus find himself in a situation both diffi- cult and dangerous— difficult, because he would be called upon to administer an extensive and important trust,— and dangerous, because he would be here- after compelled to give a strict account of the use or abuse " of the things committed to his charge.— Un- known in every respect was he to them at present, but he ( Lord Belgrave) trusted lhat the time would come when he would be well known to them all, and that his first introduction to them would be by his good actions.— His Lordship observed, that he had been applied to by many Gentlemen, who were eager to know what the name ofthe Child would be, and as this was the first public opportunity afforded rhim of announcing bis views on this head, he would uow take the liberty of stating what his intentions w ere. He had made the selection of the name of one of his ancestors, far removed from the present time— and in making this selection, he hoped to be allowed to offer a remark upou what is commonly called family pride-- which he regarded in two very different points of view ; and, here he was about to speak not of that pride which elevates a man in his own eyes, and debases him in that of others,— which makes him dissatisfied with himself, and despised by his neighbours ; but, of that pride which instils into the mind a contempt of mean pursuits, which excites to arduous enterprize, and leads on to the attainment of honourable action and high atchievenient. Of that pride which compels a man to support a character of honour and independence, which nerves his faculties to strenuous exei tion, and enables him to bear him- self in every circumstance as becomes a Noble Gentleman. It also has this effect, that it ought to caution him against a base degeneracy from those from whom he springs, and to teach him, that even if he can count his ancestry, one by one, in a direct line from the time of Noah, yet if he prove himself unworthy ofibose whose name he bears, and whose renown he in some degree inherits, they will rise up a host of witnesses in judgment against him, and ail the brilliant splendour of their name will but drag into open day the infamy of his own.— Another reason prevailed with him in the selection that he had made of his progenitor, who was also Earl of Chester, who bore the name of HUGH, and the surname of LUPUS; because it would proclaim to the world the connexion that existed in former days between his family and this city ; and also, that that connexion had been handed down, and cemented hy mutual acts of reciprocal kindness and good neigh- I our hood DURING THE SPACE OF EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS.— His Lordship remarked, that he should here conclude, having troubled them at too great a length, with what might fairly be called a family concern; but he said he should think himself unworthy, were he to omit noticing upon this occasion the celebration of those festivities which took place two years ago, upon a similar occasion to that which they were then commemorating. The ebullition of kind feeling exhibited upon that occasion was spontaneous, was generous, and bethought he might add,— unanimous. It was an effusion of good- will which he well remem - bered, nor was he likely ever to forget.— What he liad now to request of the Citizens of Chester, was that they would be kind enough to convey their affections to another object; to transfer those kind feelings from the child that was gone to the one that was now among them. Ilis Lordship stated that the conclusion of those festivities was marked by a present to his family, which would long be treasured tip by them—[ Here Lord B. produced the Cup]— and observed that that Cup, with one similar to it, were presented to his father by a delegation from the City of Chester— in that Cup, he said he would make a libation to the child for whose welfare they were kindly anxious, and in whose favour he was sure they would all join him in offering this petition : — That God might grant the child might he a good son, a good father, a good neighbour, and a good christian :• That be might be willing to dedicate his life to the benefit of his fellow- creatures, and ready to sacrifice that life, if occasion demanded it, IN DEFENCE OF HIS ICLNG AND COUNTRY.—( His Lordship sat down evidently much affected, as were the Company also. The conclusion of the address was hailed with the loudest cheering. The massive goblet— holding upwards of a pint,— was handed round to tbe Company, and as each again drank " Health and long Life to HUGH LUPUS GROSVENOR," tfie; Company chorussed to the good old accepted tune, FiH to hira— to the brim/' and nearly half an hour elapsed before the exhilar& t ing health had traversed the room!) The Rev. Holwell Carr, of Devonshire- place, is stated to have given his valuable collection of pic- tures to the country. They are not numerous, but are all of the highest class, and cost Mr. Carr up- wards of £ 25,000. Some time ago, a daring burglary was committed in the dwelling- house of Mr. Stowe, in Homer- street, Mary. la- bonne, oa a Sunday evening, during the absence of the family. The burglars had re- galed themselves, and ransacked every room, carry- ing off an iron chest containing upwards of 300 sovereigns, 80 guineas, some half guineas, £ 16 in silver money, a Bank of England note for £ lt) 0, another for £ 30, three hills of exchange for £ 84, £ 63, and £ 51, some silver plate, 10 leases, and several important deeds. This sudden and exten- sive loss had nearly rendered Mr. Stowe distracted. A large reward was offered for the discovery of the robbers, and a free pardon to any of the accom- plices; but no intimation had been gained, till last Monday night, when a parcel, directed to the Chief Constable, was left at the Mary- la- bonne Office, by an errand cart from the city. It con- tained the three bills of exchange, the ten leases, and all the deeds and papers, but no message account of the remaining property. One of the bills of exchange became due 011 Monday, and another will be due on Saturday. Exclusive of the deeds returned, the value of the property thus singularly restored, is between £ 500 and £ 600. Died, on the 30th ult. at Disley, Mr. James Thornley, formerly of Stockport. The funeral of this most eccentric being, for which he left parti cular directions, took place on Saturday last, at the parish church ; the procession was headed by eight freemasons ( of which order he was a member), followed by two mutes and several friends of tbe deceased on horseback; after them came his re- lations, on foot; the liearsc, drawn by six black horses, and a mourning coach, drawn also by six horses, followed, on the panuels of which were painted tbe armorial bearings of the family, and the procession was closed by a chaise and fou Every thing about this singular individual bore the marks of his eccentric character. On the plate of his coffin, as well as on the tomb stone which covers his remains, he strictly ordered lhat his age should be inscribed not by the number of years he had lived, but by the number of moons, which amounted to 1145. This order of course has been complied with. Seventy two years ago he was one of the ringers at the parish church, at which time four of bis brothers aud his uncle were also ringers : and his eldest brother, who died in the year 1800, was sexton at the parish church upwards of 60 years.

HAYWOOD V. PITT. This was an actio A for seducing the plaintiff" daughter. At the last Worcestershire Assizes, the Learned Judge who presided, suggested, that as the plaintiff's daughter and the defendant were stated to be still attached to each other, and as a promise of marriage had been made, » verdict for £ 1000 should be entered, which should be set aside condition that the defendant married the girl within a month. To this proposition the defendant acceded, and a verdict for £ 1000 was entered accordingly. Mr. RUSSELL now moved to set aside the verdict, stating, that the defendant, in performance of his engagement, had procured a licence and the wed- ding- ring, and went" to the plaintiff's house for his bride, in a post- chaise for the purpose of taking her to church, and solemnizing the marriage; but the young lady refused to have him, preferring to have the £ 1000, for which the verdict had been entered. Upon this statement of the case the Court granted a Rule Nisi. ASTRONOMY.— A very important astronomical fact has been discovered by J. W. H. Herschel, Esq. and James South, Esq. The late Sir William Herschel directed the attention of astronomers to the importance of determining the distances and positions of double and triple stars; or stars which appear single to the eye or when seen through an inferior telescope, but when viewed with one of higher magnifying powers are found to consist of two or more distinct stars. Sir William published descriptions and names of 702 such double and triple stars. The above gentlemen instituted series of observations to determine the existence and amount of anuual parallax of these stars; but this object was soon lost sight of amid the more extensive views of the construction of the universe, which gradually unfolded themselves. They have clearly established the existence of binary systems, in which two stars perform to each other the offices of sun aud planet. They have ascertained with considerable exactness the periods of rotation of more than one such pair. They have observed the immersions and emersions of stars behind each other, and have detected among them real motions sufficiently rapid to become measurable quantities in very stiort intervals of time. NEW SILK MACHINERY.— Amongst the sim- plest and most effective improvements iti silk machinery is a Patent Winding Engine now at work at the factory of Messrs . Pattison & Co. Congleton, the invention of Mr. Scott, of Leek. The winding of silk being the most important part of the manufacture, tbe success of this invention in speed, time, space, and labour, may in a short time set at defiance tbe advantages . possessed, by France, or any other nation, over this Country, and place it on a level with the other manufactures iu this kingdona. Capt. W. E. Sutherland, who lately perished in ihc Comet, was ( as all his acquaintances know) an excellent swimmer; a soldier who served with him in America says, he was the best in the 93d regi ment, and that lie has seen him'swim as far as from Inverness to Kessock— yet, this noble fellow scorned to avail himself of this great advantage, and remained clasped in his lady's arms till both sunk to rise no more.— Inverness Courier. BENEFIT SOCIETIES.-— Mr. Roe, on Thursday, decided, at Mariborough- street, that Magistrates cannot interfere with any Benefit Societies which are not enrolled agreeably to the statute of the 33d Geo. III. cap, 54. We therefore recommend any persons who belong to such Societies to make enquiries whether they conform to the statute: for if they do not, they run a great risk of being defrauded of their money— which happened in the case that called forth Mr. Roe's decision. A numerous meeting took place at Ansford Inn, on 1st inst. Wm. Dickenson, Esq. M. P. in the chair, to consider of forming a Company to effect a rail- road between the Bristol Channel and the canal at Bisingstoke, with branches ; when the measure was adopted. An authoress of some celebrity in her day, once asked Dr. Johnson to give an opinion upon work she was just about to publish, observing, " If it will not do, 1 beg you will tell me so, as 1 have other irons in the fire; and should you think this not likely to succeed, I can bring out some- thing else." The Doctor having turned over several pages of the work, returned it, with the following laconic observation :— u Madam, 3 would advise you to put this where your Irons are." It is confidently stated that Sir J. Lubbock and Mr. VVigram, will offer themselves as candidates for the representation of Leominster, when Parlia- ment dissolves. Nothing can be more wretchedly supplied than Athens with the most common articles of use and convenience. No such thing as a cart, a ladder or the materials and implements for making them are known; nor ia it possible to procure the most ordinary domestic utensils, or a single article of cutlery. A Veteran Dramatist, now alive, distinguished for the frankness and oddness of his humour, being required to state his grounds of exemption from serving in the Militia, actually Wrote on the official paper— 44 Old, lame, and a coward !" The export trade of Russia has increased. The exportation of tallow this year has been three millions of poods. The export of hemp, flax, timber, potashes, oil, copper, iron, & c. is likewise considerable, and the national manufactures are said to be daily improving. In the Baltic Pro- vinces the export of corn is completely stagnant, and the agriculturists begin to cultivate more flax, which meets with an advantageous market in England or Portugal. DIVISIBILITY OF MATTER,— A curious in- stance of the Divisibility of Matter occurs in the Silk Trade— a pound of silk, containing eight score threads to the ounce, each thread measurin seventy- two yards long, will reach to the length of 184,320 yards, or between 104 and 105 miles; now a pound of this silk dyed scarlet does not receive above a drachm additional weight; so that a drachm of the colouring matter of the Cochineal is actually extended through more than a hundred miles in length; aud yet this minute quantity is sufficient to give au intense colour to the silk with which it ia combined.
