A letter from VTienn; v states, that the un- expected death of the Emperor Alexander had produced a deep impression 011 the Prince of Mettermch, who consul., red it certain that the influence which he had hitherto exercised over the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!! would entirely cease, and that other relations would he Established, more consistent with the real interests and policy of tiie Russian empire. The propositions trans- mitted from London by Lord Strangford to the Russian Government are said to have highly displeased the Austrian Minister, because they tended to overthrow bis favorite system id' the stain quo iu the East before 1820. But what had still more displeased him was that tile Russian Cabinet had entered heartily into our views, and that the only things which remained to he effected in the conferences hidden at St. Petersburg!], were a few trilling " modifications of Mr. Cunning's yrnjccl." Prince . WuUefiiich, il is added, was as well iulttrmcd of all that passed at those Conferences, as if Baron Lebxeltern, the Austrian Ambassador ill Russia, had Seen allowed to attend tiuau.

A letter was received froui his Royal Highness, dated yesterday afternoon, wh^ iihttwasilt good health, and hud been riding und walking as usual.!' The number of cash accounts transferred to the Bank of England, iu cilusequance of the failures of private Bankers has been very great, aiid several addi- tional olerks lutve been engaged in that department. It was not permitted formerly to draW cheeks 011 the Bank below £ 10, hut cheeks as low as £ 3 areiiow allowed.— The Directors of the Bank have published the names of 31 clerks who are empowered to sign £ 5 notes aud up- wards, and of 99 Who arc empowered to sign £ I and £! i notes.- Daring the late panic, and when want of confidence seemed to lie ait the highest pitch, a well- known and most opulent West India merchant aud planter called, upon an eminent Banker in Lombard- street, where he found the principal partner, and in fact all the fiartuers in the firiti lit, their' post as usual. " Well, my riciul," said the merchant, addressing the senior part- ner, " whit does all this bustlcund confusion iu the City mean ? I hold four hundred thuusaud 3 Cent.

The grieved und alllictcd lather overcome by the loss and cruel fate of his beloved son, sunk under the blow, and was himself a corpse, and cunsigied to the narrow house a few weeks afterwards. Desperate Attempt at Suicide.— Wednesday night, about halt- past twelve o'clock, as a hackney coach was proceeding along Oxford road, the notice of Urn men was excited by tile screams of a female, which came trout the vehicle. Tne men instantly alarmed the watchman. On opening the door, a dreadful spectacle presented itself— a young man, about 20 years of age, was lying on the straw, huddled together, and bleeding in torrents from the throat. He was taken out immedi- ately and carried to Dr. Collett's, in - the neighbourhood, where it was found that he bad made a desperate cut in his throat; but fortunately the penknife with which he committed the act, had missed the witldpipe, and therefore saved his existence. The incision was sewn up by Dr. Collett; and after remaining some time ia the house, he was carried home to his family in Wilson- street, Edgeware- road. The young female that* was with him is his sister; they were returning home from Drury- lune Theatre when he com nitted the dreadful act. He is in a fair way of recovery.

' On the evening of Wednesday last, as a number of people and cattle were, returning from the fair of Confin, Ireland; a thunder cloud burst just- over them, and laid ahiostthe whole of them prostrate on the road ; 110 parson was killed jr materially injured, but the electric shock, which seems to be more destructive to some uui- mals than others, proved fatal to seven young cows, the property of Charles Mulville, Esq. of Knockanira, and one belonging, to a poor man, and also to a pig, but though several men and horses were struck to the ground, where they In/ some minutes, they all recovered. One man, who was leading his horse, wliich was knocked down, had his whip shattered to atoms in his hand, and he describes the sensation felt by his own frame, to be as if an immense load or weight, or, as he expressed it, " as if a world fell upon him aud crushed him to the earth, though he did not fall." For several hours after he felt an acute paia and soreness in one of his heels, and oue of his wrists, and his horse was also liuue for several miles of the way. Interesting Anecdote.— A somewhat re- markable circumstance occurred on Tuesday morning, the day on which the execution took placo. As the Rev. Mr. Cotton, the ordinary of Newgate, was proceeding fry in |( i< residence to the prison, between six and seven o'clock in the morning, in older to attend to tile spiri- tual wants of the poor men who were about to- sudor, he was accosted by a country man of very decent appearance and behaviour, who stated,' that'he bad just arrived from the neighbourhood of Marlotv, and hud travelled all night ou foot fur the purpose ofimploringagreat favour of the Reverend JJeiitlcuiau. Upon being asked the niture of bis request, he stated, that his name was George Roberts, that lie was formerly a- pnVutfi in the 2id Light Dragoons, and had been pensioned oil'; tiiat for several years past he had lived near Marlow, and worked as a labourer, and bore » u unitnpeachHl ciwl- uotcr; but about eight years back he and another nun had been charged, on oath, by Edmunds, with having stopped him 0.1 the higuwny, and stolen 4s. 6d. frjta ' hjai. Mr. Vansittart, the Magistrate, having a very favorable opinion of Roberts's character/ interfered, and' there appearing to be souie discrepancy in Edmunds's testimony, the prisoners were discharged. Roberts, conscious of his entire innocence, and tender of his reputation, was anxious to wipe away the reproach that ha I been unjustly east upon his twine, and with which he was occasionally upbraided by evil minded persons ; he therefore resolved to make a, journey to Loudon, and before his accuscr quitted this life. obtain from hint, by means of the chaplain of the prison, a confession of. his ( Roberts's) innocence. Mr. Cotton, althoughunwilliugto disturb the mind of Hie unfortunate man, considered it his duty to comply >\ ith the wish of the countryman, and desired him to call in the course of a few hours. The Rev. Gentleman accordingly, on going to tbecondenined room, mentioned the subject to Edmunds, and inquired what was the real truth of the case, when he, without hesitation, fraukly avowed that the charge he had' brought agaiust Roberts was altogether without foundation— that, in. fact he had never been robbed at all, but had fabricated the story fiir the purpose of accounting for a deficiency of A*, id. which he nad spent, and which amount w is the pr. iduce of some articles he had Sold on |) i » piaster's account. .^ ' , s, , On Mr. Cotton's making the coininunicatTitn, of Ed- munds's acknowledgment to the poor cojiuiryiiiaii, lie expressed much gratitude to the Itev. Gentleman for his humane interposition. He then said tlwt he would v.; iuur< ito entreat oue further lavor, whidii was, that he might; lie furnished with a written statement of what had transpired, as he was apprehensive that, 011 Ills return to the country, it might be doubted whether Edmonds had actually made the important confession. Mr. Woutuer, the Governor of Newgate, tiled kindly gave hiiu a few- lines, certifying that he had been present when Mr. Cotton related the declaration of the dying man. Falal Effects if Gaming Another instance hasjust occurred. The sou ol'a respectable merchant in Liverpool was sent to London by his father, with a power of attorney, to receive a very considerable stun of money. Having accomplished the object of his journey, tlte young nun was induced to prolong his stay iu the metropolis, as it was bis first visit and all was new to him, and imprudently firmed an acquaintance with oue of those well dressed swindlers, who are ever 011 the watch to entrap the ignorant and unwary. The natural consequences followed, dissipation and pleasure led I expense, and the money he hud received was broken in upon; then the gaining house ivus proposed to restore the sum wasted, on tile first night success attended the unhappy victim, but the second left him without ttshil- liftg. I n despair, he tried to enlist for India, but was rejected as under size, then he retired to an obscure lodging in Oxford- road, where lie subsisted by selling his clothes, &. c. and at last iu destitution and sickuess, was supported by the kindness and charity of his loud- lord.—- He refused to tell bis father's name, till atlength won by the benevolent attention of some religious per- sons, belonging to the Missionary institutions, he in formed them respecting his friends.

Death of Lord Arthur Paget— It is this week our painful duty to record the pyemature death of Lord Arthur Paget, of the 7th Hussars, stationed at Be- verley, which was occasioned by an accident whilst hunting a short time ngo. It appears that his horse tailed in an attempted leap, and fell upon its noble rider. He wasspeedily removed, and every attention paid to him, but with little hopes of his recovery.

No less than six banking firms, of which five are country establishments, and one in London, appear iu the Gazette of Saturday, as bankrupts. During the late panic, runs Were made upon several of the Savings' Ranks in different parts of t'le country, but the Savings' Banks in Yorkshire have, ill general, had no demands out of the usual way. The • depositors are aware that they liuve the Government of the country for their security", and that if their money is not safe in these institutions, there is no place of security. A droll equivoque, and not unseasonable, took place last week between Sirand Mr. L. his neighbour. The former keeps fox- hounds, and the lat- t Tacniintry bank.' The Baronet overtook his neighbour in a narrow lane, as he was returning from the chase, and supposing the Banker had been one of the field, and wishing to say something civil as he passed, cried out " A hard run to- day, Sir. L.!"—'' Oil, no, Sir, I assure you 1" replied theconsc. ioitsman of money— not of straw—" no such thing, Sir; not in the least hard vrested to- day— no ran at all!"—" Why, we run him in ! would voii have all knocked up?"—" Oil! you are talking of the fox, and 1 was thinking of my bank," re- turned the bankot : " 1 Wave not Wen bunting, but hunted, all the week by a pack of fools." To Wash Wovllen, Goods*— This art of wash- ing woollen things so as to prevent them from shrinking, is one of the many desiderata in domestic economy wor- thy of being recorded— and it is therefore, with satisfac- tion, we now explain this simple process to our readers. All . descriptions of woollen goods should be well washed with soap in very hot water, and as soon as the article has been cleansed, instantly, immerse it in cold water, let it be wrung and hung up to dry. Varieties of the Tides on the Coast of Great Brit tin.— The influence of the moon trxerted upon the mass of .( vaters in the Atlantic caused them to flow to the western coast, where Ireland presents a barrier, and divides the Atlantic tide into'two great streams. One flows rotind the north of Scotland, and sets iii southward in the German- Ocean with great rapidity, where it encounters the southern tide along the EuglislKJhunnol - and hence the great swell of waters about the Straits of Dover. The . interruption to the., southern tide also occasions its greater slowness, so . that a second tidef- rom the Atlantic, down the German Ocean, meets it, and thus we find a great swell about the Nore at the spring tides. The tide at London Bridge is in fact neither a lunar n> r a solar tide ; and because of the distance of London Bridge from the Nore we find midway tide- it is low water mid- way between the Nore and Loudon Bridge, when it is high water at each of these places.- ( Wallase's J. ectures.) WONDERFUL and- YET NOT AVON- DERFUt.!!! On Tuesday, the Gth Lit', the State Lottery was Drawn, when, " asnsuttl, BISH'S Offices were conspicuous for Good Fortune, and we might say his Luck was Wonderful; but whenever mentioning his Success, we must sayit is not Wonderful, for BISH is invariably Lucky, he Sold Two out of the FOUR £ 30,000 Prizes, and we always rejoice to hear of his Selling Capitals, for the Shares are certain of beingwcll distributed all over the United Kingdom ; for instance, we understand Parts of those £ 30,000 Prizes went to Alton, Cork, Canterbury, Darlington, Edinburgh, Hereford. Lincoln, Macclesfield, Southampton, Staf- ford, and-. Whitehaven; the remainder were Sold in London. The numbers were— 7,319, Class A. £ 30,000, tjnd 10,976, Class B. £ 30,000, Btsli alsoSoldftVE minor Capitals, all Drawn same Day; anil iu the very preced- ing drawing his Success . vas, as usual, great, as lie then S. ld ' I'riRRK ot' the Six £ 20,000 Prizes— Nos. 1,062, 2,271, and 11,519, the Sharesofwhioli were sent to Bland- ford, Cheltenham, Clapkam, Edinburgh, Gravesend, Greenock,, Hitchin, . Inverness, Lincoln, Lougkton, Morpeth, Nontjch, South Lambeth,. Surry Square, Swansea, & Worcester ; the rest were Sold in London. I'uis everlasting continuation of Success pp doubt makes BISH regret that Lotteries arc so near their final termi- nation, as I he next is positively the Last ljrtyning but Tmo.

Weights and Measures.— The Act to equalize the Weights and Measures of the country came into operation on the 1st of January. As it is important that the relative value of the old and new measures should he stated, a comparison is annexed hereto.

Thus taking the prices of com as given by the Gazette for the week ended Saturday December 17, and supposing no variation to^ take place between then and to- day, the prices would, 011 the latter day, owing to the difference of the measure, be advanced as under:— Per present Ought to be por Quarter.

Bedford Religious Tract Society.— The se- cond anniversary of the Bedford and Bedfordshire Reli- gious Tract Association was lately held in the County Hall. The chair was taken byCharles James Metcalfe, Esq. of Roxton- House, who opened the business of the Meeting in a short and appropriate address, at the close of which the Rev. Samuel Hillvard, of Bedford, secre- tary to the Society, was called upon to read the annual Report. He state'd that the balance in the hands of the Treasurer at the last Anniversary was £ 2.14s. 2d. The collections at the door last year amounted to £ 5. 2s. 4d. and the sum of £ 10. 17s. 3d. has been received since for subscriptions. During the last vear the sum of £ 12 had been paid into the hands of the Treasurer of the Parent Society, in return for which, the Association had re- ceived the usual proportion of tracts according to the es- tablished rules, for sale at reduced prices to the mem- bers of the society. ' The number issued from the Depo- sitory at Bedford during the last vcar was as follows: 4250 Tracts, 411 handbills, and 112 books. After the read- ing of the report, which appeared to give general satis- faction, the Rev. Mr. l. iley, Moravian Minister of that town, moved that the' Report be received and adopted by the meeting, which was seconded by the Rev. T. S. Grimshawe, Vicar of Biddenham, in a long and eloquent speech, in which he took occasion to ob- serve, thatsincc the institution of the Parent Society in 1799, 110 less than 100 millions of tracts had been circu- lated by it through almost every quarter of the globe. The Rev. Legh Richmond, Rector of Turvcy, moved that the Committee he requested to communicate with the inhabitants of the market towns throughout the county, in order to promote the establishment of branch societies. This resolution was seconded by the Rev Mr. Krtottidge, of Roxtou. The Rev. Mr. " Hol'lowav, of Cardington, moved a vote of thanks to the Treasurer, Secretary, and Committee, for their gratuitous services, and that they be requested to continue the same, which was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Maston, of Bedford. Af- ter which the Rev. S. Hillyard moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and the meeting was dissolved. In the course of the various addresses several very striking in- | stances were adduced to show the extensive good which lias been produced by the dissemination of religious tracts. At a monthly meeting of lha Bedfordshire Horticultural Society held at the Rose inn, on Weilnes- : day evening last, the company > ere highly gratified by , the exhibition of a Sne specimen'of nearly twenty varie- ties of apples in a very high state of perfection," by Mr Bundav. Mr. B. also produced some remarkably fine young potato*, asparagus, sea cale, and mushrooms'; this gentleman's liberality, and readiness to communicate his system of growing the above is highly creditable to him- self— and was duly appreciated bv the gentlemen present, and whose good example tbevliop? to see followed by other practical member" THE CI- fASE.

Coroner's Inquests.— The following Inqui- sitions have lately been held before James ISurnham. Gentleman, one of his Majesty's Coroners for the County of Buckingham, viz.:— " At Hanslope, 011 view of the body of Daniel GostsloW, labourer, who, early in the morning, while in the act ( as allowed) of drawing small- beer at the house of hi: master, RichardKitely, Esq. suddenly fell down and in stalltly expired in the presence of tfm other labourer with whom he had daily worked. He hail been upwards of 50 years employed on the farm of his said master, and relatives. Verdict— Died by the Visitation of God. At North End, in the parish of Kavenstone, on view of the body of Thonlas Labrum, of that place, who for several years preceding his death had been employed in the woods of Kavenstone, but who on going to work as usual, suddenly fell down aud expired without a groan Verdict as in the preceding ease. At Maid's Morton, near Buckingham, on view of the body of Win. Daniel, a young man aged 18 years, who being at work in a gravel- pit near the said" parish, in company with another person, about 50 loads of gravel ( it is conjectured) suddenly fell in, by which means he was instantly buried. Verdict— Accidental Death.— It is melancholy to relate, that about ten week- previous to this fatal occurrence two fine cart- h* rses, the property ol Mr. Butcher, farmer, were killed 011 the same spot. ' The Coroner, in summing up, strongly reprobated the neglect of the surveyors in not taking" proper steps tr fence nut the said pits, and carefully remove the soil, in order to prevent similar accidents. * At the County Gaol, Aylesbury, 011 view of the body of Mary- Ann Plant, a prisoner, who, after a short ill* ness, expired by the visitation of God. At Thornborough, on view of the body of Thomas Lovell, labourer, an old inhabitant, who retired to re in his usual good health, but the following morning was found dead in his ked. Verdict accordingly. Yesterday week, an inquisition was taken at Streatley, before Mr. Times, Coroner for the county of Bedford, on view of the body of William Coles, a voung'lud iu tlveeniploy of Mr. Thomas Blindell, of that place, who wasaccideu tally killed 011 the preceding Weill. © . day after- noon, in the following melancholy manner. Itappeared that the deceased, together with another person, were driving two horses, which were drawing a water cart filled with water, when one of the horses by some means be- came frightened, and ran off with the" water Cart. The deceased at first had hold of one of the reins, but had 110 power to stop the horses, in consequence of which he soon fell down, when the off wheel of the water cart passed over his body. The poor little fellow was immediately con- veyed to Mr. Blindell's house, but did not survive the accident aliovc the space of ten minutes. Verdict—- f cidental Death.

SIRS,— As one wiio in common with my neighbours feels interested in the late distressing events, produced by the unprecedented panic, I beg to thank you for the seasonable hint given in your last as to the "|> aynient of Christmas accounts; you might have also added, how much pleasauter it must be to possess tradesmen's bills « ith Receipts attached to them? than to have them lying by neglected or forgotten, while perhaps at tho same time a Banker's Book may show a good balance iu a Gentleman's favor, ot* his Cash Case be well stored with Provincial Notes. Query. Are there not among your- niiinerous readers many who would much rather liav been spared the disagreeable necessity of. niakin,. apology to his tradesmen for not having paid them be fore, and of stating his incompetency to do so now in con- sequence of the late unfortunate occurrences? Pardon me for throwing out the following opinion : " That tli best friend of his Country is the man who promptly pays his Bills on their being ascertained to be correct,'* or at least so thinks.

To the Printers of The Northampton Mercury. LETTER V. OCT. 10TH, 182O. SIRS,— The- advantages to be derived from Friendly Societies, constituted, like those recommended by the Rev. J. T. Beefier, on legal and scientific principles, will be evident from an account of the Hampshire Friendly Society, established January 1st, 1825, under the patron- age of" his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the prin- cipal Noblemen and Gentlemen in the county. The Hampshire Friendly Society has originated in a desire to increase the stock of national happiness, and to improve the moral habits of the People, by affording en- couragement to Persons, desirous of making provision for themselves, or their families, out of the fruits of their own Industry. It is constituted upon legal, scien- tific, aud equitable Principles, for the Maintenance aild Relief of the Contributors, by a System of mutual Asxuranre and Friendly Support, in Infancy, Sick- ness, Infirmity, ami Old Aye. Any Person,' whether Male or Female, between the Ages of 10 awl 50, boirlg of respectable Character and in good Health, may become a Candidate for admission. The Honorarv Members voluntarily superintend tiie Management of this Institution, and the application of the Funds; and enrich the Establishment with their Donations and Subscriptions; but do not receive any Emolument in return. The Benefactions already received, exceed four thou- sand pounds, and the annual Subscriptions exceed two hundred pounds. _ The Ordinary Members, as joint Proprietors, are, by Act of1 Parliament and by the. Rules, entitled to lit the Adv.: ntayes arising from the Contributions, wnicli are vested in the Trustees, " to be deposited by them in- the BANK OF ENOLJND, for the use anil benefit of Ihe Institution, and of the several Deriositors therein, their respective Executors or Adiuiuistraiors, according to their respective Claims and Interests." Local Committees will be appointed in every'consi- derable Tf< ™ or District, for conducting the coiiccrns of the fnsfittitibn. .' .''— Honorary Physicians will be nominated in every District, and a Surgeon will also be provided. Every Payment, due from the Institution to the Members, will be made by the Agents iu the dllierent District^. The Members are divided into ten classes. The Bed- lying I'av of the first Class is 7' iro Shillings per n- cek ; and is due, so long as a Member shall be confined by Sickness or Infirmity to the Bed or Bed- chamber. The Walking Pay of the first Class is One Shilling per meek ; arid is due to every Siek or Infirm Member, who is able to walk ant of the house to perform any Labour, or to execute any Employment ; but not so as, during any one H'ec/ f, thereby to earn any Sum, or to acquire any emoluminit, equal in amount or value to the Weekly Walking Pay. The Allowances in the Second Class, are twice the amount of those in the First Class j'and thus, by similar gradations, do the Ten Classes advance progressively. An Endowment of Six Pounds, Twelve Pounds, Eighteen Pounds, Twenty- four Pounds, or Thirty Pounds, may be assured for any Child not exceeding seven years of age, to be paid on attaining the age of 14 years, in u single sum; or as an Annu'ty from the age of 11 until 21, allowing One Pound a year, payable quarterly, for every § ix Pounds uot claimed from the institution. Au Endowment of Ten Pounds, Twentv Pounds, Thirty Pounds, Forty Pounds, or Fifty Pounds, payable at the age of 21 years, may ulso be assured for any child, under the age of nine years. Females may assure One Pound, Two Pounds, Three Pounds, Four Pounds, or Five Pounds, payable on l. ying- iu. _ Let any unprejudiced Person compare this Institu- tion with the friendly Clubs established upon the old system of Mismanagement and Conviviality. Without adverting to the hours consumed in Attend-. tmeses tit the Public house, let liitn only bear iu recollec- tion, that a portion of the Funds, seldom amounting to less than 4s. 9d. a- head, and frequently to more, is- expended upon the Anniversary feast, and the Ale provided for the Monthly Meetings and funerals ; tellich Sum would secure for every Member under 20 years of Age, the full Allowances of our first Class, Kith an Annuity after 65 ! Supposing the Hampshire Friendly Society, at a mo- derate computation, to consist of only 10.) 0 Members, upon aii average, this 4s.

Sunday and Tuesday's Post-- continued from first Page. Extracts continued from tht first Ihport of the Commissioners, Vc. on the Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice in the West Indies. "' l'lie Statute Books, of the different islands, contain many cruel and horrible. euaetnicnts, framed*— at. the time and in the spirit— of the early settlers. But these are never put in execution, and are most repugnant to the sentiments of the humane mid enlightened inhabitants who now constitute, in tile principal islands, a great and increasing majority. * * * Of cruel masters, we sometimes heard: I'believe throe instances were men- tioned to us, i: i twelve islands. O te was indicted capi- tally, and wedid not learn the result. One was prosecuted for a misdemeanour, and acquitted, for want of evidence i, slave testimony being inadmissible). One was not pro- ceeded against, from a reasonable apprehension of a si- milar result, and from a like cause. Of the ln. st two, one was afterwards excluded from society; the other, in- truding into it, was notorious. iuid infamous wherever lie appeared. " The object, of the law i:; unconscious of its existence. Left t. i himself, the* poor slave is generailyconteiited and happy. Possessing a spot to which lie is commonly at- tached ; looking, to his master, for support in health,— cure in sickness, and advice and help in distress, or difficulty, the improvident negro,— fur from pining in uiKvy,— dances anil sleeps,— trifles and dreams away country where persons commonly sleep with their doors and'windows open ; these, seem to me, to, collectively, establish, that the provisioned slave is ( at least) a stran- ger to that leant, which is, ordinarily, the proximate cause, iinmcditttelv, instigating to the commission of theft. '• It was a subject of remark, by the Commissioners ( though not in tlieir judicial character, or at all con- nected with" their official inquiries,, except as it may be fair and proper, to mention the results or operation of laws they so freely censure), that in their frequent jour- neys, through tlic interior of many islands, they never saw the whip or stick, which was always in the bands of the drivers in the field, made use of, for the purposes of punishment, or to impel the gang to labour; they never witnessed a blow struck ! One instance of cruel punishment of a domcstie. slave, inflicted hy the order and in the presence of her mistress, a woman of colour, fell under the personal observation of Mr. Maddock ( in St. Vincent's). The mild treatment, however, which slaves in general experience, is unquestionably owing, vastly more to the tenderness of tbe master than to the security of the law. " There is, again, another purpose for which these rusty laws retain a certain efficacy ; and if there be one colonist ( which I do liofbelieve) who yet clings to their em- uns, it is for this— their sole a-. nl equivocal advan- tage. They draw un impassable line; tiiey raise . an in- surmountable barrier between the white and the black and coloured population ; they record an immeasurable distance; they attest an unexampled degradation; which those, who would never have imposed, may not be un- illing to remember. This extravagant depreciation of the negro labourer, in their eyes aud bis own, inijst have been principally ei eetcd by means of impute I inferiority iu mental and corporeal structure, and tli. e capacities of moral good. The actual difference in the temporal con- dition of the respective. Classes has nothing to warrant the depression. The habit of deterioration, however, Ien: g prevailed, and the result is still perceptible, and often counteracts the efforts of humane proprietors to ameliorate the condition of their slaves.. Indeed, tbe strongest objection to these early laws, is'thcir tendency, effete ttfe they arc, to perpetuate the evils and miseries of a system insensibly undergoing a beneficial change; to preserve, to- no useful purpose, the sentiments and feelings, mice unhappily belonging to ages and genera- tions new no more! Barbados.— Slaves in tbis island are without legal protection or redress, for personal injuries * * * The slave has no remedy in case of tbe greatest oppression by the master ( or his delegate), or tiie grossest injury by third persons; though the master ( in ease ofhisslav* being assaulted or robbed), may have reparation in damages for the loss of service, or the injury to his property in the slave.. The murder of a slave wilfully, maliciously, wantonly, and without provocation, is now a capital crime, but there is no other legislative provi- sion, restraining the absolute power of the master over tbe slave, or inflicting punishment upon the owner, or others, in case of mayhem, mutilation, dismemberment, or cruel treatment. No other act of assembly has been framed for tbe protection of slaves; no tribunal is specially appointed, for ipquiry into. their wrongs. A slave who is, or thinks himself, aggrieved, looks ill vain in this island for a proper quarter in whicli to prefer his complaint; it. can no where be received. " Thereis not, in Barbados, any law, regulating tiie quantum and kind of punishment, the hours of luliour and rest; the provision of food ( and except nominally), of clothing. These are dependant on the performance of moral duties, of which good ilien feel tlie obligation, but of which the breach is unfortunately not cognizable, before any earthly tribunal. A wicked and cruel master or delegate, so that he do not kill or maim a slave, may inflict'liiiii any degree or severity of punishment. No Ulan, or set of men, has legal power, to call him to ac- count, for working his slave as long as lie likes; for whipping him as much as he pleases; for chaining; for starving him. A Justice of the Peace is, indeed, li- mited to the number of lushes lie can order a slave to re- ceive; but a master— has uncontrolled, undefined, and absolute power. " All property, acquired by the slave, theoretically be- longs t J the uiaster; but in practice is always enjoyed by tbe slave. I believe this peculiutn to be sacred aud untouched bv the owner; but 1 am not satisfied that property, in the possession of slaves, is sufficiently pro- jected against injuries,. frmn third persons. The slave, t is notorious, cannotsue or prosecute, and can therefore only obtain redress, for such wrongs, through the nu- dum and intervention of tbe master. But even a kind owner will often in tbis climate be indisposed to exertion, and a selfi. h and bad one will be indiiiereiit and uftfecl- I ought, perhaps, to add, that t) ie Commissioners never saw or heard, of a single instance, of a slave being obstructed or robbed of his little property ; thou thou- sands passed the room in which they were constantly sitting, on the way to the town or market. " Tile slave lias not any means of acquiring his free- dom, without the eoTismitof the master. Tnere is no redemption from slavery, in thistsland, by force of law; but there is from the state of manners. A manumission, is rarely, if ever refused, where an equivalent in value can be found. " If a slave have no known owner, and is not claimed by any person, he is held, iu this island, to beloog to tbe Crown, and to be saleable for ita benefit." Examination of the PROV ( ST- MARSHALL. " What places of confinement are there in this islund ? Barbados.— A. Only one gaol in Bridge Town, and no other place. Tobago.— A. One gaol. I can't call it a gaol; if a prisoner is confined in it, he must be put in irons for se- curity. Grenada.— A. A gaol, and three cages in Grenada, and one cage in Cariacou; two without keepers, from tlte dif- ficulty of procuring white people to fill such situations; ao salary being allowed. U. Who are confined ill that gaol > Barbados.— A. Debtors; all persons charged with of- fences, slaves as well as others; convicts, and in war time, prisoners of war. Tobago.— A. Debtors; criminals, free and slaves, con- victs; prisoners of war ( and, query, lunatics.) Grenada.— A. Debtors ; all persons charged with of- fences— delinquents under the Militia Act^ and slaves taken iu execution ; in the cage runaways. U. Describe the Condition of the gaoO Barbados.— A. There has been ail idea of providing another gaol for debtors, which is wanted. The gaol is by no means seen re ; the raising of the wall bad I een begun, by order of the Chairman of a Committee, of both Houses, but was pulled down by order of the members, as done without the consent of tbe Committee. The consequence is, that debtors to a large amount are not allowed to go into the yard, without giving the marshal security. Tobago.— A. In a very bad state, having uo wall or fVuce round it. Grenada.— A. The gaol is very insecure, and escape practicable at any time, which is a uiostserious hatalsii. p oil the Provost Marshal. There are no privies belong- ing to it; and from the use of open tubs in lieu of one, the lower parts are of course offensive, and in very bad weather unhealthy. The whole expense of the esta- blishment, falls on tbe Provost Marshal; and during toe two years that I have licit! the office, I have suffered a los. s by it of £( ttO. This prevents the employment of a sufficient number ol officers, one only being uow kept—- two absolutely necessary. CX. Is there any separation of debtors from criminals ? Barbados.— A. Not always. Tobago;— A, No. Grenada.—-' A-. N- opik Q. Ls there uny division of ine: l from women. Barbados.— A. Not always ; if we can we do; we ge- nerally do. Tobago.— A. No. Grenada— A. None— not even a. separate apartment. U. Are the accused and convicted kept together, and treated in the same manner? Barbados.— Yes; the capitally convicted I endeavour to keep from tbe others, but 1 have u. o separate ceils. G renada— Yes. Q. What allowance is made to prisoners? Barbados.— A. To debtors none. In tiie case of cri- minals, a Magistrate sends a certificate of the offender being a paupar, and upon this be gets au allowance of 7$ d a- dav. Tobag '.— A. Twobittsa day. Grenada.— A. One pound of bread at present indiscri- minately t; i all prisoners. The colony pays for that given to criminals or prisoners committed as disorderly, but the Marshal finds it for debtors, and trusts for repayment to the. nse. ves; a repayment which is scarcely ever made. Of this, and in fact of the whole department of the gaol, I have the most serious and well- founded com- plaints to make, as a burden which the Provost- marshal ought not t » i have thrown upon him. The duties tit- tending it- are sufficiently disagreeable, without tile heavy loss at present attending iL. ( 1. Is that sufficient for his sustenance? Barbados.— A. 1 think a quarter of a dollar not too much, for had they not friends, tlie 7^ 1. would uot sup port them. Tobago.— A. Yes. Grenada.— A. I should imagine not, but I never hear of any complaints. ti. * Ve they provided with beds and with clothing in addition to this allowance. Barbados.— A. They have only 7^ 1. a day. They find their own beds, aid have uo gaol dress. Tobago.— A. No. Grenada.— A. They have nothiog found but their bread; no bedstead, be- lding, or clothing of any kind. Q. Are chains used for security or punishment ? Barbados.— A. Net chains, ever; Datideuiia te case of condemned persons; ivfrtcteuy persons I put into the. ' stocks, or handcuff. Tobago.— A. Never; handcuffs occasionally. Q. Is a prisoner who is acquitted immediately set at large ? Barbados.— A. The Clerk of the Crown has a fee of £ 3. 17s. 6d. and I have known a few instances of persons having been detained till they paid tills. Grenada.— A. immediately; no fee whatever being taken at any time from a criminal prisoner. ti. Who are confined in the cage ? Barbados.— A. Runaway slaves; and sometimes Ma- gistrates commit offenders there for petty larceny. Grenada.— A. Runaway and disorderly slaves only. ( i. What is the condition of the cage? Barbados.— A. The cage is secure and very comfort- able. The owner of the slave pays him abitt a- day. Grenada.— A. The cage- keeper is in attendance. ti. Are not slaves sent there to be ooiifinedand flogged by their master's orders ? " Barbados.— A. Masters have sent their slaves to be kept there, but 1 dislike and discourage it. As for whip- ping, they can whip them when they please ; they send them here only because they can find a consta'ble on the spot. Q. What are the eases in which slaves arc whipped in the bay ? Barbados.— A. Only when directed by Justices or un- der different Statutes. tl. By what officer arc they whipped, and with what instrument? Barbadocs.— A. By the constable, with a cat, or acow- skiu ; the cowskin mos t severe, the eat most common. The negro would rather lie flogged with the cowskin." Answers of Mr. FISHER, Cage- keeper, Grenada. " U. What is the condition of the cage ? A. It is not a very strong hold; it is frequentlybroken, sometimes witb the assistance of the friends of those who are confined, from without. There arc two rooms, one for males, and another for females, eAch 16 feet square, and twelve high ; they get one pound of bread a day. The island allowance is a day, feeding them in the first instance, ami repaid by the owner when be claims the slave. ti. What arc the cases in which slaves are scut to the cage ? A. The cage receives slaves sent there by the Magis- trates for all sorts of misdemeanours— sometimes for confinement, and sometimes to receive corporal punish- ment.. When the latter it is my duty - to see it inflicted. It is inflicted in the market- square. Q. Is the infliction of public punishment frequent, and does it increase or diminish ? A. Within lust year and this year nopublie punishment lias taken place. Some have- bcen s- ei. tenced, but the pu- nishment has been- remitted, and for thelast two years tbe Magistrates have not sentenced women to the punish- ment of whipping, in cases where- it- would - h& vc- btcn in- dicted on men. Women they have put for hiilfan hour, or sometimes an hour, in the pillory, but uot the last year— there were some the year before. Q. By what officer are they whipped, ami with what instrument r A. By a driver, and with a driver'swhip, on the poste- riors. This is not so severe as tbe cat or cowskin. Three or four . lashes on the same spot may produce blood, but without particular severity it will not." Copy of a letter from the Attorney- General of Gre- nada, to the Attorney- General of St. Vincents:— " My Dear Gloster, " I have ever been of opinion, that not only murder, but any atroei- us severity, or even immoderate correction of a slave by his master is indictable at common law, and punishable lis a felmiyorniisdenieanour, according to the nature of the offence. It istruethat this modeof prose- cution or punishment may be taken away Or restrained by Statute, and that too not only expressly, but virtually; as, if a Statute imposes another although inferior degree of punishment for murder or any particular speeiesof mis- demeanour, though without airy negative words, it will be construed a virtual restraint of the Common- law pu- nishment, as in the case you state where 1 conceive that the crimes of gelding or dismembering have'a specific punishment annexed to them by your 54th clause, and must, of course, be punished accordingly. But this clause is specifically confined to those crimes of gelding and dismembering, and cannot by any construction he extended to anv other crime, not even any other species of mayhem. The cutting off an ear was not considered as maiming at common law; but by the 37th Henry VIII, this offence rendered the party convicted liable to the forfeiture of treble damages to the party grieved in an action of trespass, and £ 10 to tbe King by way of fine. By the by, the damages and fine upon gelding, & e. in your Act, seem to be fashioned after this Act of Henry VIII; but, however, tbe pit ' ishment'of gelding, fee. may be fixed by Statute in restraint of any common law punishment, the common- law mode of proceeding and punishment for murder remains untouched.. " As to cases, although I have often heard of the one you mention of a man being banged in this island for killi ng a slave, yet 1 have not been able to procure the record ; but I have myself, both in St. Eitts, Nevis, and this island, carried on prosecutions for misdemeanours, and that at common- law. At St. Kitt's'I prosecuted Wadluim Strode for fastening his negro by tbe ear to a post, from which he ran awav, leaving partof his ear behind. I also prosecuted one Burke for excessive severity and immode- rate correction in chaining and punishing his negro we- men; and another man, whose name I have forgotten, for cruelly gagging and otherwise ill- treatingan infant slave. All these were prosecutions at commons- law, and the in- dictment particularly charged thcsluves to have been the property of their owners. " In Nevis I afterwards prosecuted a'man for murder, by laving a slave under his charge in the midst of some cane'trash, and after scorching bis whole body, inhu- manly putting him in a cask of ram; and though be was strenuously defended in Court, no objection was made in Court that a criminal indictment could not be main- tained at oommon law for the uiurder of a slave.

A correspondent in the Farmer's Journal, gives the following method of feeding. bullocks with lin seed:—" Put a gallon of water on a light quantity of seed, which will nearly absorb it in about twenty- four hours. Give each bullock ( which should be tied up) one quart of the jelly, well mixed with three or four times the quantity of bran, chaff, or cut hay or clover, two or three times a day ; and if a bushel of cut Swedish turnips and a little hay be also given to each beast of sixty stone, I am convinced it will answer the purpose of the grazier perfectly well, but lie must not expect the result to be quite equal to nil- cake; he will, however, succeed in producing good useful beef without sustaining anv loss, profit being at the present day in stall- feeding quite out of the question. Seed for crushing will answer the purpose; for the best would make, a difference in price ot 8s. or 10s. quarter. One kr « at advantage derived from using linseed is, you may begin early, not E> enig dependent on your turnip crop or spring feed, and the manure I believe to be equally good as from oil cake." The New Excise laws,— The Act of the 6th Geoa IV, cap. 80, for granting a reduced duty on British spirits, and regulating the trade of distillers' and dealers in spirits, will come into full operation on the 5th instant, and as many of its enactments are of a novel ami important nature* an abstract of the principal con- tents will no doubt be acceptable. The new duty which commenced from and after the 5th t>£ January', and is s. per imperial gallon on all spirits made iu England, and the same duty on all spirits manufactured in Scotland or Ireland, and im- ported into this country. The spirit to bo of the strength of hydrometer proof, or, if exceeding or falling short thereof, to pay in proportion. It being impossible to ascertain the strength of sweet- ened spirits with the hydrometer, it is enacted, that all such spirits imported shall be deemed to be of the highest degree of strength at which spirits can be made, and shall pay duty accordingly. The laws relating to the lu- ierual management of dis- tilleries next follow, but as. they are not generally inter- esting they may be passed over. The most important alteration consists iu the charging the duty on the actual quantity of the spirits produced, and not as heretofore upon the wort put imo the still. No rectifier, or retailer of spirits* receiving any quan- tity of spirits, not exceeding eighty gallons, . shall-. break balk or add any water thereto, or. iu any, way alter the same, or tap or draw any of the paekages in whieh it is contained, until the proper officer of Excise shall have taken an account of the strength and quantity of the same. And for this purpose notice is to be giveu to the officer, and if he does not attend in two hours after re- ceiving such notice, the dealer is to be at liberty to open the packages, without being subject to the penalty of £ 200 otherwise provided. This clause, it strictly construed and acted upon, will subject the dealer to much inconvenience) as it isnot alone necessary that he should leave a notice at the place where the proper officer is usually to be found, but it is also necessary that two hours should elapse after. such officer receiving the notice, which possibly might not be for many davs after the original leaving of it. • The strength of all spirits compounded with syrup seed, ike. must be marked on tiie packages containing the same. All spirit of this kind, excepting shrub, to be sent out by the rectifier, of a strength exceeding 17 per cent, under proof. No spirits of wine to be sent out of any less strength than 45 per ce. it. above proof, and dealers receiving the same to keep it in a cellar, or place apart from all other spirits. Penalty for mixing the same with wine or spirits £ 200. No dealer to send out any spirits exceeding in quantity on « gallon without a permit, and such permit to specify the kind oi spirit, and the actual strength of the wine. If the permit does not truly state the strength, the spirits to be forfeited, and the dealer subjected to a penalty of £ 100. This is an important clause to the public, who will in future know exactly the quality ot spirits tney receive. It is also- provided, that if any quantity exceeding one gallon, be delivered without a permit, the same shall become forfeited to the buyer, and the seller incapaci- tated from recovering the same, or tho value thereof, in any ctfurt of law whatever. The evidence of the buyer is t.> be admitted in, proof of this fact. All and every Person or Persons whosoever who shall have iii his, her, or their custody, any quantity of spirits exceeding 80 gallons, shall be'deemed to be a dealer, and » uU> e* ted to the » urvev of Che Excise, and to all PROVINCIAL. Mr. Rickford, one of the Representatives of the Borough of Aylesbury, distributed, on Saturday se'nuigbt, his annual donation among a select number of the poor inhabitants of the place, by which nearly 200 families were provided with a substantial Christmas din- ner. Twelve hundred weight of prime beef was divided into portions corresponding, with the size of the respective families: aud the several portions were, according to custom, sent to the homes of the parties, accompanied with half a peek ofpotatos, and a shilling. Colonel Browne, on Monday, ordered ten tons of coals to be distributed to poor families in Ayles- bury. AgricuUuristsand Bankers.-~ By " running* the banks, should failures be the result, from the want of immediate available capital, agriculturists will bring upon themselves the inevitable consequence of deprecia- tion of their produce, and a recurrence of the difficulties from which they have so recently emerged.— Some of them have been reminded of their former personal diffi- culties, in a manner too forcible to be again forgotten, one instance of which has been related to us from un- doubted authority. A farmer who had received assist- ance from a respectable banking firm, not 30 miles from Cheltenham, applied to them for sovereigns to the amount of about, £ 100, in exchange for their notes. One of the firm took him into an iiiner room, and showed him his own promissory note for some hundreds advanced in a period of difficulty ; and writing off on the back of the document, the amount he hud tendered, sent the un- rateful applicant about his business.- WUrwieh Advr. The Committee of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, in a prospectus just issued, state that the Marquis of Stafford, for himself and those of his family who are interested in the profits of the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal, has become a subscriber to the Railway to the extent of one thousand shares. This de- termination of the Noble Marquis may produec consider- able eilect upon many proprietors in the diffenmt canals, whose interests may be considered as endangered by tbe railroad between Birmingham and Liverpool, and induce them to follow his example; the Committee of the latter undertaking having spared neither pains nor expense to render the present courier of the line as unexceptionable as possible to the land owners.— Birmingham Gazette. Captain Peters, of Oadby, near Leicester, lost his undertaking of 300 sov. to ride half way, and go on foot the other half, from Hoddesdon, Herts, to the i60th- mile stone, close upon Doneaster, on Thursday, in 18 hours. Ht? rode his 71 miles upon eight horses, as follows:— 12 miles in 40 minutes, 10 do. i: i 34 minutes, 8 mih 1 in 20 minutes, 10 miles iu 33 minutes, 8 miles iu 27 minutes, 11 miles in 35 minutes, [ 0 miles in 34 minutes, and the remaining 2 miles in 7 minutes. The Captain then shifted into flannel and became a pedestrian the other half of the distance of 142 miles. He went © n regularly at the rate of six miles an hour the first 36 miles, when he complained of a pain above * he right ancle, and a vein the size of a nut protruded itself. After performing CO miles in 20 minutes within ten hours, and having no chance of going on with success, he resigned, having more than 21 miles to accomplish in four hours. Caution to Mothers.— On Wednesday last an accident occurred which was nearly attended with ; fatal consequences. Mrs. Fortnam, of King street, Maidstone, having occasion to quit her residence for a few minutes, left her two children ( one three years and the other eighteen months old'Yhy themsel ves. During her absence the. youngest child got to an earthen vessel, nearly filled with water, and put her head in it. ller sister with a presence of mind that is seldom equalled by a child of her age, immediately threw up the sash of the window, and called to^ some little boys in the street to come and' take her little sister out of* the water they could not get in, as the door was locked, but they directly gave the alarm, when her mother was soon on tlhe spot, and extricated the little creature from her perilous situation. It it - conjectured she must have remained, in the vessel'some minutes, as it was thought when she was taken out life was quite extinct, but medical aid was immediately procured, and after an hour and twenty minutes indefatigable exertion, Mr. Bullard, a medical man, succeeded in reviving pulsation, and we are happy to state the child is now well. An old man, whose name, we believe, is Brint, was found this morning ( Wednesday) mostiubu manly murdered near to the Plough public house on th< Gloucester road ; and,* horrid to relate, the. perpetrator is supposed to be his own son, who is in confinement now at the above house. The son- in- law of the deceased is suspected of being an accessary to the deed, but as yet has contrived to secrete himself.— Cheltenham C7m <> n » urt ot Gommissiouers of Bankrupts, Basinghall stieet.— Carlou, High. street, Mary la bv hue.
