Moscow.— Tbe Hamburgh Papers, uuder date of St. Petersburgh, November 26, state that " on the 28th cf October a dreadful storm did great damage at Moscow. The roofs of ninety public and private buildings, and of six churches, were blown off.' 1 it is added, that " since the equinox, great damage has been done by violent storms in tbe Black Sea. Three ships were stranded, one of which perished, with the whole crew. Seven were greatly damaged. The fate of two Others is unknown." A dreadful accident happened at Neinburg, in the Dnrhy of Anhalt, on Ihe 6th instant. In honour of a visit from the Doke and Duchess, the new suspension bridge was illuminated : half of Ihe bridge, loaded with inhabitants, sunk into the river Saall, aud was carried down tlie stream : 86 persons were drowned ; seven died of injuries received ; and 41 are Wounded,— There are only 200 houses in the place. Advices from Bombay give an account of the death of that gallant and distinguished officer, Sir David Ochtcrlony, Bart. He died at Meerut on the 14th of July Inst. Confidence again revives in every direction, and from Ihe prospect that now presents itself, the panic will lie dissipated with as much rapidity as il arose. Money is more plentiful than it was, and the circulating medium is beginning to flow in its accustomed channel*., ACTIVITY AT THE MINT— There are eight Presses, which, on cases of emergency, can all be put in action, as lias been done at present, and each Press coins 40 sovereigns iu a minute, mak. ing 320 sovereigns hy the whole eight Presses in a minute, or equal to 19,200 iu an hour. Allowance must, however, be made for Ihe breaking of dies, & p. which diminishes Ihe amount of coinage; and Ihis week, one hundred and fifty- thousaud so- vereigns per day have been coined. Mr. Wallace is in constant attendance, and is assiduous and in. dcfatigable in urging on the work. At the Bank the pressure of business had much diminished yesterday. The stock of Gold is greatly upon the increase ;• and a London banker who made application for notes, was told thai he might have HS much gold as he thought proper. The Dis- count Office is directed to be kept open as usual on Monday, for the reception of Bills of Exchange for discount, notwithstanding it is a holiday. Williams and Co. the bankers, of Bircbin- lane, it is said, wiil shortly recommence, with iwo new partneis, added to the firm.— Everett, Walker, and Co. have issued a circular lo their friends, in w hich ihey stale iheir intention of winding up the accounts of the firm by paying 20s. in the pound. •— Messrs. Wentworth and Co. have announced by a circular, that the business of iheir concern will not lie resumed, the partners having found it im possible, in the present slate of Ihe money- matket, to procure a sufficiency to meet the immediate calls upon I hem. The stock market has assumed a comparatively tranquil appearance, and the prices remain steady, wilh a prospect of advance. The EARL OF BRECKNOCK.— This Nobleman, woo is the eldest son of the Marquis Camden, met a very painful aud distressing accident on Saturday lasl, at Kingstown. He was walking alone on the railway leading down to the Pier, and, accidentally slipping, his foot was caught in the hollow of the metal, and his leg, we regret to say, was fractured, and the anrle dislocated. He was immediately carried to Mr. Armstrong's Hotel, where, in con- sequence of the house being full, as stated by the persons in waiting, he was refused admittance. We understand that a gentleman and a lady, who were passing, and who were ignorant of the rank of the stranger, instantly offered him accommoda- tion in their collage, which was fortunately close at hand. The Noble Earl was removed without delay, fin. I messengers were dispatched to town for surgi- cal assistance— when Mr. M'Namara, of York- street, promptly attended, and set his Lordship't leg. The next day he was visited by the Surgeon- General, and was sufficiently recovered on Tuesday tu be removed to Gresham's Hotel, Sackville street. T-. DublinEvcning Post. FO. NTHILL ABBEY,— We cannot but regret having lo announce the demolition, in great part, of. that most magnificent fabric, Foothill Abbey, which has been so universally aud deservedly admired.— On Wednesday afternoon, about half- past three o'clock, Ihe lower, which rose to the height of 270 feet from Ihe centre of the building, fell with a tremendous crash, breaking through a great portion of the roof of the Abbey, aud in- stantaneously presenting au immense mass of ruins. Most fortunately no lives were lost. The tower, it appears, was of loo slight a construction ; and from certain indications, its fall had been expected for several days previous lo its actual occurrence. It inclined, in its descent, a little to the south- west, and fell into the fountain court, destroying the ball, Ihe whole of the oetagon, and great part of the galleries, north and south, together with the first crimson room, leaving the grand entrance slaoding with the organ in it, aud the statue of the lale Alderman Beekford in iis niche. Mr. Farquhar was in the large east wing of the building al the time of Ihe disaster, and il is said he was not much alarmed, as he had expected it; seven servants were also at the time engaged, by his orders, iu taking out the painted windows of St. Michael's Gallery, and Ihey all escaped unhurt. One servant boy, however, considerably injured. A great quantity of plate is still buried iu Ihe ruins.— Salisbury Journal. IMPORTANT TO COMMERCIAL MEN.— In ihe Court of King's Bench, on Monday, in a cause " Lloyd against Ashley, Rowland, aud Shawe, Ihe Chief Justice held, thai a sleeping partner is not responsible for any bills of exchange accepted by the acting partners in their names, unless such bills relate lo Ihe business of the partnership; because, the sleeping paitner not being known, no credit can he said to have been given lo him ; and because the sleeping partner has no interest or benefit resulting from the transaction, it being unconnected with Ihe partnership in which be is engaged.

The fraih- of allegiance lo Constantine, the new Emperor of R ussia, was administered yesterday, at ( lie Russian Chapel, to the members of the Lega- tion, and to the ' principal Russians resident iu this metropolis. Advices were received on Saturday by express from Pctereburgh, with official information of the death of the Emperor Alexander. tie died at Taganrog on the ist iustauf, it is said, after an illness of two days. His Imperial Majesty had been in a declining state of health for some lime, but was considered by the accounts previously received from him to be so completely re establish, ed in his health, that Te'DeumhaA beeu performed at Petersburg!! as for, his complete recovery. The question of" the succession has been put an end to by the proclamation of ' the Graiid Duke Constan- tine, the Emperor's brother, as Autocrat of all Ihe Russias • and il is added, that so entire a harmony prevailed among the brothers, that Con- stantine had appointed the Grand Duke JSiicholas to the command of the Royal Guards. By an arrival from the Cape of Good Hope, we have received the South African Chronicle to the 191 li of October, and the Cape Town Gazette to the J 5th ; the arrival of the Enterprise steam vessel had excited great interest and much speculation at the Cape. It appears by the log- book of the En- terprise,- that she never made more t han seven knots an hour when steaming* and never less than three. The greatest distance accomplished in any twenty- four hours was 190 miles, on the 10th of October, which was performed not by steaming but by sail- ing, The greatest distance in the same time by steaming was 169 miles, on ihe fid of September. The voyage occupied fifty- seven days, during only thirty- five of which the engines were employ- ed ) and three days we're passed at anchor at the island of St. Thomas. BEJLKIONT BANK.

M. DURNELL, F. BEARD, ,1. SHUKER, E, DITCHER. Congratulating, as we do, our numerous read- ers and the public on tbe stability of the various Banking Establishments in this town and county, it is not without regret— deep and iiufeigned regret— that we refer to a list of establishments and individuals, most of them of undoubted credit and amply solvent, which have, from the pressure of sordid and unrelenting avarice, lynx- eyed prejudice, and unwarranted timidity ( for all these causes have been in active opera- tion), been forced out of their respectable station, either into bumble supplicants for time and pub- lic indulgence, or into that class of injured persons who, from no fault of their own, and With super- abundant means of liquidating all claims upon them, are obliged to surrender their property, to be disposed of, under the most adverse circumstances, in order to adjust those claims, and to wind up concerns long carried on with credit, honour, and mutual advantage to the parties themselves, to their creditors, and to the public in general. That an adverse feeling lias been created from some quarter against our present Banking System, and that that feeling has beeu forced and strained to the utmost during the recent embarrassments, there cau be no doubt. Certain newspapers have laboured with intense assi- duity to persuade the public that our monetary system, and tbe means of supporting. it, hung by less than a thread— and this has found mul- titudes of believers in a moment of profound peace — of unquestioned pleuty— and of acknow- ledged agricultural and commercial prosperity; the only drawback upon which was in the latter branch, and solely arising out of speculations in cotton, which, however disastrous to the parties concerned, were by no means sufficient to ac- count for the obstinate and blini credulity with which one simultaneous rush has been made, as it were, upon the whole of that highly respect- able class of men, through and by whom the immense monetary concerns of the nation are carried on and conducted. Without stopping to notice the base and malevolent attacks upon the credit of Bankers generally, which have been issued through the press to serve the purposes of stock- jobbing cupidity,— and without wasting our time and room in combating the nonsense which has appeared even in most respectable London Papers as to the Country Banks, which, by the way, some of these cunning cockneys seem to speak of as if they were the shops of green- grocers,— we would wish to offer a few observ- ations upon two points, which have been pressed forward and adopted even by many of the re- ipectable provincial Journals, who, while endea- vouring ( and no doubt sincerely) to stein the torrent of alarm, have unwittingly increased it, by pointing out the necessity either of there being branch banks from the Bank of England in all the provincial capitals! or of the Country Banks being entirely composed of numerous partners, on the Joint- Stock principle!! — Now this we call backing our friends wilh a venge- ance ! and we think it will not be difficult to shew, that with all its faults ( and there may be faults in. it), tbe present system of Country Banking, as connected with a metallic Govern- ment currency, is, as a general system, prefer-' able to the proposed substitutes. We presume that there is no individual hardy enough to assert, that the currency of the Go- vernment itself ought to be other than a metallic currency. But if you prevent the issue of Notes by the present Country Batiks, and establish branch banks from the Bank of England, the Government must recognize, as an universal medium, a paper currency. Many of our honest country friends, perhaps, are not aware of the extent of our circulating medium. The Bank of England issues at this time are about 25 millions sterling, in paper ! The issues of the Country Banks collectively, prior to the late alarm, were, perhaps, as much. There was certainly no complaint of a superabundance of circulating medium; bat will any one suppose that the parties who issued this 50 millions of paper, had 50 millions of coin, in gold or silver, ready to pay it off at a moment's notice ? As- suredly not! and yet our countrymen have been acting as if that were the case!! Does the man who deposited £ 1000 in a Country Banker's hands, with an understanding that he was to receive even £ 1 per cent, interest, suppose that the Banker could pay him even at that rate if he locked the motley in bis chest, aud made no use of it ? Why nd*; he is not such an arrant sim- pleton. And yet, contrary to his own reason, he runs with tbe multitude,- and demands his money, as if the Banker were versed inalchymy, and could, either of airy nothing, or of vulgar substances, fortn heaps of palpable gold to satis- fy his relentless and thoughtless neighbours and customers. If, as we said before; the Country Banks were to be prevented issuing local notes, and branch banks from the Bank of England were estab- lished, the Government must, to protect the wide range of this single establishment, neces- sarily recognize a paper currency, not merely ( as at present) as an auxiliary, but as a Govern ment currency! The Bank of England, as i nucleus, is the very polar- star, the guide and support of our money transactions; but we think numberless individuals are not aware that, like Provincial Bankers, it does not keep its capital idle. Like them, it has, as it ought to have, a surplus, a quantity of cash in hand. proportioned to the magnitude of its operations but if every one of its notes were to be presented at once for payment in cash, why it must do, as, unhappily, many of our Country Banks have beeu obliged to do, suspend its payments, and either become bankrupt or beg for time to wind up its concerns. Where, then, would be the benefit of branches from it? Like Country Bankers, its " managers must lend its capital, some on Government security and some on provincial security, with in the latter case, less knowledge of those to whom they made advances; and instead of the profits being, as at present, divided among many, and dispersed among a multitude, they would be drawn together to feed and create Mammoth of Paper Wealth, which, from its very nature, would gradually absorb the entire func- tions ofthe Executive Government, and would as might be very easily proved, if it be not suffi ciently apparent, eventually destroy the liberties of the country. Once a paper currency becomes, as then it must, a Government ( and not merely a legalized) currency, the bladder ( for it would be nothing else) of public credit would, at every alternation of the exchanges, become liable on the slightest puncture to waste its impalpable con tents to its own destruction. The example of Liverpool, and other place where no local notes are issued, has beeu cited to shew the advantages to be derived from the paper currency being restricted to Bank of England notes. This, we contend, proves nothing to the purpose. They are only isolated instances, and, like every thing in our happy Constitution, shew how much variety of mode and station tends to the general conformity and stability ofthe Body Politic. We know tbat the Corporation of Liverpool, from the great and invaluable public works which its corporate wealth and capacity has enabled it to undertake aud complete, for the general benefit of the place, has been cited to shew the advantages of tbe corporate system. But we apprehend that, if this Corporation bad sufficient means, and were to monopolize all the trade of the town of Liverpool, few persons would think Such a mode of operation either a public improvement or a public advantage. Monopoly, in any branch, it well known and acknowledged, has, for vari- ous reasons, never been considered either advan- tageous to the nation or to individuals general- : that wealth, which is diffused among, and cir- culated by, the greatest number of individuals, has always been considered most conducive public and private welfare. In certain cases, such as forming docks, cutting canals, & e. where e profit ( if any) is prospective, and the means equired enormous, individuals can only act in a corporate or joint- stock capacity ; and though risk is great, the profit uncertain, and the proprietors multitudinous, what an outcry have we recently had about dock and canal monopoly! Yet tbe very safee parties would urge us to establish a system of BANKING MONOPOLY, hose foundation would be paper, its food the commonwealth, and its end destruction ! We' need not extend these remarks. To those Who see the drift of our argument, we have said enough ; to those who do not, we must apologize for our limited space and humble talent; and we would turn to our more usual route aud proper sphere, that of being public journalists and not public dictators. It is with the highest satisfaction we mention the names of the Viscount Clive and Lord Ken- yon, as noblemen who, in their respective vici- ' ties, have done much, and used every exertion, and with the wished- for success, in allaying the public ferment. The same may be said of our resident gentry and principal dealers and trades- men throughout this County and the Northern Principality generally, in the whole of which extensive district not a Bank has suspended its payments. Declarations have been signed by the inhabit- ants of Whitchurch, Shiffnal, Coalbrookdale, Bridgnorth, Broseley, Wenlock, Welsh Pool, Newtown, Wrexham, Holywell, Mold, Bewdley, Kidderminster, & c. & c. expressive of their con- fidence in the several Banking Establishments of those places. The declarations from Newtown, ewdley, and Kidderminster will be found in our subsequent columns. The Daventry Bank of Messrs. Wat kins and Son has resumed its payments. Notwithstand- ttae stoppage of tbe Nantwich and Northwich Banks, the inhabitants of those places have severally issued a declaration of their confidence the credit and stability of those establish- ments. The following is a list of the Banks through- out the Kingdom which have stopped or sus- pended their payments during the late pressure. Those marked (*) have had commissions of bank- ptcy taken out against them; nearly all the others, it is presumed, will either resume their business, or wind up their concerns and pav their creditors in full.— Although the list may appear numerous, it will not be so considered, when it is recollected that there are nearly 800 Provincial Batiks in the Uuited Kingdom, be- sides nearly 100 Banking Establishments in London: — Brown and Co.

Tbe poor people ( men, women, and children) were bountifully pro- vided for from a liberal subscription ; the children of Ihe schools were regaled wilh suitable refn sh- ments ; and a large party of gentlemen dined at tbe Pheasant Inn, where every thing was provided ill the first style. On Saturday, the 17th inst. an inquest was held before J. Wollaston, Esq. one of tbe Coroners of this county, upon the body of James Brockely, whii was found hanging lo a crab. tree in Stockton Wood. It clearly appeared to the Jury, lhat he had not been of sane mind for about three years, having some time ago attempted to destroy himself by cutting his throat.— The jury returned Iheir ver- dict, lhat James Brockely was lunatic and dis- tracted at tbe time he hanged himself. On Friday last, Mr. J. Thomas, Slaier, fell from the roof of a house iu Willow- slreel, Oswestry and died very soon after, having had the back pai l of his head very much fractured. The Coroner's Inquest brought in a verdict of " accidental death."

A disagreement had taken place be tween the plaintiff and his landlord, Earl Gros. veuor, and a law- suit was tbe consequence. In professing to detail the proceedings between Mr. Willotighby and Earl Grosvenor in the Court of Chancery, the Chester Chronicle had made Ihe observations for which Ihe plaintiff now sought redress, conceiving those observations to be injuri- ous to his character. Mr. Scarlett; tbe plaintiff's counsel, commented very minutely on Ibe incon- veniences and injuries resulting from a partial re- port of judicial proceedings; the exaggeration of detached words; the publication of particular points; and the prominent importance of passages harmless in themselves, but pressed upon theat- tention of the public by being " thrown into strong relief," and heightened by adscitilious colouring — The Attorney- General addressed the Court for the defendant, who, he said, had not himself Written line of ihe alleged libel.— The Chief Justice summed up As the defendant did nol justify, ut pleaded the general issue, and the publication had been proved, the Jurv were bound to find a verdict for tiic plaintiff'.—' Fhe Jury relired for half 11 hour, and gave in their verdict for the plaintiff, Damages £ 300.

An Inquest was held on Ihe body of David Evans, aged 13, son of Daniel Evans, of Glan- brenig, in the parish of Caron, Cardiganshire, who, on Monday last, lost bis life in the corn mill at Tregaron. The youth was with his father and mother, and others of the family, gristing in the said mill, and, it is supposed, thai he was led by curiosity to view the machinery, and, going too near the cog wheel, it caught his smock frock, and carried him along in its revolution. The sudden stopping of the mill, and a crash they heard, alarmed his father and another man, when Ihey hurried to investigate the cause, and they instantly beheld the mangled body of fhe youth on the ground, bleeding much from his mouth and nose, his left arm nearly torn off, one of his eyes pressed out of its socket, and most of his ribs fractured. When first seen, he breathed, but died in the space of four minutes. Spring price of Wheat, per sack of 3311 lis Foreign Wheat per bush, of 8 gall.

At the Meeting of Ihe Bath and West of Eng- land Sociely for the encouragement of Agriculture^ &. c. last week, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE ( Ihe President), in returning ibanks for his health having been drank, said- He had, 011 former occasions, taken the oppor- tunity of dwelling on the importance of these several interests, and on the necessity of exerting them- selves to support those united interests Tbe manu- facturing and the agricultural interests were in- timately united,— and the mouied interest could not be affected without endangering them,— and none of those interests could be affected without en- dangering all. One would not suffer, without all suffering ; he had often uttered similar sentiments: in that room, and he now repeated them. He had always recommended union, aud he now said, that without united efforts to support the suffering interest, all of them must be materially injured. Those were opinions that he had expressed under various times and adverse circumstances ; and he felt it more important than ever to urge them now, when a portion of Ibe community was unfortunately labouring uuder peculiar difficulty. Those suffer- ing portions of the community could not revives without the union of all interests. After Ihe several Reports had been confirmed', a paper from Mr. Cother, regarding the " husk," bask," or hoarseness in calves, was read. Afler describing the disorder, & c. it proceeded in detail- ing his remedy thus : — " As soon as you find the disease make its ap- pearance, immediately exclude them from water, and instead of giving the calves a rich pasture, pit them into a summer- eaten pasture that has pleniy ° f old grass, and take care that, they have 110 water at all : an improvement in every respect will soon be manifest, and the disease will disappear without uy farther trouble or expense.— These are facts founded on experience of upwards of thirty years, during which time I have never lost a calf with that disease, although a regular breeder of from ten to twenty iu a year. I have found by experience and observation, that the night dews aud tbe at- mospheric moisture at this season of the year are quite sufficient to keep calves of that age in a re- gular state of health; and when tbe cure is per- formed, you may let them have water again when lliey conie to hay, and I have never found th » disease return a second time." CORN LAWS — A meeting of the agriculturists of the county of Lincoln was held 011 Friday last, in the Castle- yard of Lincoln, on the subject of the Corn Laws.

Au Insurance in Advance for Six Years entitles the Insurer to the Benefit of Seven Years' Insur- ance. Losses will lie settled and paid promptly; and Claims submitted to Arbitration, if required.

Tovfuserifl, the noted runn? r, and a stripling named Eiginore, who Shr > e or four years ago vvas iu the habit of frequently accompanying on foot a coach ( one of Mrs. Nelson's) from Norwich to London, a distance of 110 miles, started ou Monday last at eight o'clock in the morning, from the Cavendish- arms, Regent- street, Brigh- ton, to run to the bridge in Lew ^ s, and back again three times ; tlv two arrived at the Caven- dish- arms at hjlf- past ten o'clock the first time; they stayed about ten minutes for refreshment, and start d again in company ; Bigmore, how- ever, on his arrival this time at Lewes, knocked up and went to bed at the Pelham arms; Towus- eud returned again to Brighton, about twenty minutes before two ; he started again at two, and arrived at the Cavendish- arms at twenty- live minutes past five ill the evening, completing a distance of upwards of fifty miles in consider- ably lees than nine hours and a half. Townsend, who presents no appearance of being light of foot, did not exhibit signs of much fatigue; the race was for a subscription purse, the contents of which, we suppose, were not very abundant. Townsend yvasl overtaken at Falmer, on his re- turn the last time, by a heavy shower of rain, which accompanied him to the end of his jouruey; on his arrival the I : st time, he offered to run any man in Brighton to Lewes and back again six times, to start at the instant. Tovrnsend is a native of Lawes.— Brighton Gazette. A most extraordinary his ft s natural is now ia the possession of Mr. Talbot, of Worcester, and which was found, just killed by a stoat, by a gentleman whilst shoo'ing a few days since near Hereford. It is an auitnal undoubtedly of tbe hare species, measuring only 4jj inches from nose to end of tail 1 It has, however, every appearance of age, and although stinted by nature iu one re. spect, in most others it was more th in compen sated for the deficiency, having two distinct car- cases, the one possessing perfect construction with liver, lights, heart, & c. The other con- tained two entrails ouly, and it had four hind legs and two fore ones. EQUATION OF TIME.— As what is called tho equation of time may not be generally understood ill its application to clocks or watches, we insert the following by way of explanation -.— A book is regularly published containing the daily equation, but as this is not in many persons' possession, the common almanack gives it sufficiently often for practice ; in them it is stated for the present mouth, " Dec. 1st, clock slow 10 min. 43 sec." that is to say, on looking at a good dial, say at twelve o'clock by the sun ( the best time for mak- ing the observation), if the clock or watch be then twelve o'clock also, it is wrong, aad must be put back 10 min. 43 see. according to the above equatiou. On the loth the - almanack states, " clock slow 6 mill. 55 sec.;" if the clock or watch has gone well, it will at twelve o'clock by he dial be 6 mill 55 sec. before twelve, and of coarse if it be not at that time, it must be put so to be correct. On the 24th, the clock is 5 sec. slow, or it may be said to be with the sun, the 5 seconds not being very material in practice; here the dial and clock agre and they do so only four times in the year; at all other times they are different, and t is difference is pointed out by the books above referred to, and occasionally by the almanacks. DiedonTuesday evening last, Daniel Dogherty, of ttie London Ring. He was a pugilist of the first celebrity, aud fought more battles in the ring than any boxer of the pr.- sent day ; they amount- ed to thirty.

FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL; Sana of tfje Past. NO IX. AP03LQGY FOR WRIT ING. Pit ETA TOR Y REMARKS. Throughout life, hot particularly in the earlier part of it, ere the eares of the world reign trium- phantly over the mind, or the desire of lucre or of fame engrosses the soul, there aie seasons, when every person, whatever he his profession or calling, courts relaxation aud pleasure. But, how various arc the circumstances and tastes, and, consequently, the pleasures, of mankind! YVhile one roves on the banks of a crystal stream, wooing enjoyment by his Angle, another lounges oil the crowded parade. While one handles a Mace at a Billiard Table, another dwells on the page of History, or wanders wilh Fancy in the fields of Fiction. This practises an intricate composition of a Mozart or a Rasini; that gives new beauties to the glowing Canvas: and while one pours libations lo Bacchus, another sips at the Ilelicpnian stream. Those who possess a turn for any of the Polite Arls, have always the means of pleasure within themselves; and sur ely tiie Company of Ihe Muse is as favour- able to J he growth of Virtue as that to Which many young men resort! The flowery path through which she conducts her Votaries may not lead to wealth, yet is she a friend to health, cheer- fulness, and reputation. The Pieces which appear uudcr the above hsadj are the productions of moments when Business and the World demanded less attention from the Writer. As life advances, how tew who do not experience, that, owing to various circumstances, the mind no longer takes delight in those pleasuies which formerly enchanted it? Jt is, however, a source of amusement to the Writer, sometimes, after the avocations of the day have been fulfilled, to transcribe his humble Effusions for the Press; content to flatter himself that they were produced in the mixed atmosphere of the neighbourhood only of Parnassus. Their subjects, style, and general brevity may show how little time has been expended in their formation; that they are mere buds of the mind, called forth by fleet, but, gene railv,. sunny intervals: nevertheless, the Writer trusts that, arranged with the intellectual Dessert which the Editor of ihe SALOPIAN JOURNAL weekly provides, they do hot prove entirely devoid of beauty in the eyes of his numerous Guests.

Meeting, that this Declaration be inserted in the Worcester, Birming- ham, and Shrewsbury Papers. The Right Hon. Henry Goulbourn has this week personally canvassed the resident members Of the senate, consequently there are already four competitors for the representation of this Univer- sity, whenever the dissolution of Parliament shall take place. As to the chances of suceess of the respective candidates, it is Somewhat diffi- cult, at this early period, to form any probable conjecture. We should have considered the return of Lord Palmerston certain, if his support of the Roman Catholic question did not in a great degree tounierbalauce the claims he may have upon his constituents, not only from his long connexion with Alma Mater, but as being an active member of an administration, which lias rendered import ant services to the state during one of the most eventful periods in history.— With respect to Mr. Bankes, it is well known that he came forward at a critical moment when, owing to the unexpected retirement of the Speaker, there was some pro- bability of the election of a second Representa- tive favourable to Ihe Roman Catholics; this gen- tleman's manly avowal of his political principles and his decided hostility to the Papists, instantly gained him such a host of friends, ihat he was returned by a most triumphant majority— a ma- jority which convinced Ihe nation of the opinion entertained by the University of the danger of granting further concessions to the Roman Catho- lics. VVe may therefore conclude that Mr. Bankes will again receive those suffrages, which he solicits on the same strong grounds.— The Attorney- Ge- neral, whose powerful abilities have raised liirn to an important station, and whose still higher eleva- tion at no very distant period is fully anticipated, imay fairly calculate upon the votes of all the law vers, Whigs as well as Tories ; for it is not likely that the Whigs, after the signal defeat they sus- tained at the last election, will again find a cham- pion bold enough to. enter the lists. In addition to his legal friends, the learned gentleman w probably have many supporters among those electors who admire his talents, which at all times must command respect, and from the recollection that he, too, as well as Mr. Bankes* is hostile to the Roman Catholics.— Mr. Goulburn, a$ eminent statesman, aud a consistent and zealous supporter of the Protestant establishment, has undoubtedly every pretension to contend for the honour of representing the University. If all the four candidates should come to the poll, the contest will be somewhat extraordinary, three of them being Ministers of the Crown, and the other equally zea lous in support of his Majesty's Government.— Cambridge Chronicle.

EXPERIENCE during a very long I Period has incontestibly proved the superior efficacy of this Medicine, in all cases of Colds, Coughs, and Asthmatic Affections. By promoting gentle expectoration, it very shortly relieves the patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few doses are generally sufficient to remove those which ne- glect has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, aud other serious symptoms. Its peculiar balsamic powers tend to heal soreness, and allay the irritation of the lungs, in cases of Cough ; and in Asthmatic affections it assists and gives freedom to the Breath.

In fact, our artificial habits and the vices of society are continually introducing such complaints where they were unknown before. Hence the prevalence of Scrofula, Cutaneous Erup- tions, Bilious Complaints, and Chronic Rheumatisms, not lo speak of Diseases more immediately connected with an INFECTED SYSTEM.

One or two bottles have succeeded, when every other means have been ineffectually resorted to.
