The official accounts of the collections for the years and quarters end ing January 6, 1826 and 1826, shew a decrease upon the year 1S26', corttpared wifh that of fhe preceding year, of £ 238,940: while the comparisons of the qunrt" r ex- hibit a deficit of £ 1,189,966. With regard to th.; hitter, it should be remembered first, that the duties upon certain articles were in full operation in th..- quarter of 1824, which by various Acts df the last Session were either repealed or reduced, such as on wine, eoti'ee, cocoa, hemp, tobacco, taxes, & c. and, secondly, that the recent dist urbances of the ordi- nary course ofthe money mark', t, must have had their necessary and obvious effect in creating a postpone- ment in the receipts of the Revenue, by occasion- ing,- in many cases, an absolute inability to effect payments that were due; many sums also, which would, under ordinary circumstances, have appeared in the payments of the last quarter, and might" have been realized within that period, have been con- siderably deferred by the Government, from a wish to lessen as much a£ possible the difficulty and pressure al that time existing in most parts ofthe country.— As it respects the produce of the year, the expectations formed at its commencement have lieeu much exceeded, notwithstanding the loss which has accrued from tlie drawback on wine ( upwards of £ 1,000,000), from the discontinuance of a portion of the duty on tobacco (£ 350,000), aud from, various alterations and repeals of duties for the relief of the . trade, the effect of which cannot at this mpmenf be ascertained with any precision. The Revenue of Ireland has not merely maintained its ground, but lias exceeded the receipts of the former year.- The decrease in the revenue for the last quarter has taken place since tlie 5th of October, and is almost entirely in the excise branch, which amounts alone to the immense sum of £ 2,066,093. It is some consolation, however, that almost every other fcranch of the public revenue affords an increase, and thus diminishes the decrease on the quarter to the above sum, and very nearly balances the amount of revenue for tbe year ending on the 5th of January, 1825, with the amount of that ending on the 5th of January, 1826; the sum of the first being £ 48,812,719, and the sum of the second £ 48,573,819. ftriT' " I. AOOOON" shall uppear. next week. Vi'e have much plrasurc in acknowledging tile receipt of a letter signed " Z," in which an anecdote of a erentlem;', ti ill" sporting celebrity, resident, near Os. vestry, is detailed at considerable length." The substance is this:-.- A poor man, a butcher, who has a lurge family, and was suffering' under ail injury which threatened to enlise the amputation of a' limb, lias been placed under Ihe best surgical assistance, and will shortly be restored to his usual pursuits, by the spontaneous benevolence of the gentleman alluded to," who accidentally became acquainted with the poor man's melancholy situation. The Etoile French paper, of Wednesday, was re- ceived on Thursday, its contents are of great interest. The intelligence from St. Pe- tersburgh at length clears up all doubts as to the Succession of Constuntine to the Imperial Throne. It appeals there did exiet a formal document, signed by Con- stantino, by which he renounced, in favour of the Archduke Nicholas, his right to the Crown. When the news reached St. Petersburgh, ofthe death of the Emperor Alexander, this document, which had been signed and attested in triplicate, was Opened and read; but Nicholas refused to act upon ifs con- ditions, and instead of placing the crown on his own head, he, and after him the whole Imperial Family, the Senate, & c. took the oaths of fidelity to Con- stantino. The latter, meanwhile, conscious of the solemn engagements into which he hud entered, and contemplating no violation of them, remained quietly nt Warsaw, when he heard of the demise of his brother. This explains a circumstance which had naturally excited observation, and gave rise to vari- ous rumours. At length, however, Couriers dis- patched from St. Petersburgh to Warsaw, apprised liim of the course which events had taken, and, yielding to the will of his august Brother, of the Imperial Family, the Senate, and the constituted Authorities, he consented to ascend the vacaut throne. His presence in Si. Petersburgh was mo- mentarily expected, and the day of his arrival was to be the only suspension of that public mourning which had been ordered for the deceased Monarch. Thus there is au end of all conjecture aud doubt as to the person of the successor. A letter received from Mexico, dated the 26th nit. states that a few days before, Mr. Ward, the Hon. Mr. Waldegrave, and Mr. Baring, had gone out on a shooting excursion in the neighbourhood of Mexico, during which Mr Baring's gun went offby accident, ' aud killed Mr. Waldegrave on the spot. The Americans appear to have been much in the same situation wilh ourselves, as regards their banks and paper circulation. Two or three of their leading State Tanks have foiled, and there is in con sequence a very general alarm through the districts with which they are connected. A circular has beeu issued by Messrs. Everett, Walker, Ellis, and Co. stating . they will be ready to pay one half of the demand of their creditors on the 5th of next month, one quarter in May next, and the remaining quarter in the following August, allowing 4 per cent, interest upon the various sums. Part of the well known pateut shot manufactory of Walker and Parker, on the south side of the Thames, was on Thursday afternoon destroyed by £ re. No life was lost. Mr. Huskisson rtfuses to sanction any alteration in the law relative lo tlie admission ol foreign wrought silks. He attributes the distiess now fell in lhat trade lo excessive speculations in the raw material, and llie rapid increase of manufacturing establishments since the passing of the law for tbe udinissiun uf foreign silks. The reduction of Ihe Castle of Si Jean d'tJIloa, by the troops of the Mexican commonwealth, which took plare on lite 19th of November, has deprived tiie Spanish Government of one uf ( lie only I'- vo positions which slill remained lo Spain on ihe Ameiiran con litimt.

Having performed the. melancholy duty of relating the above catastrophe, we turn to the more pleasing task of recording the preservation of a life under peculiar circumstances.— A fine hoy, 9 years old, also named F. dward Jones, fell, the same day, through the ice of the Stew Pool, near the Town Walls, having been sliding there. He had been under water about 12 minutes, when Jonathan Perry, Esq. our late worthy Chief Mag'stiate, who had hastened to the spot heaiinw of the accident, plunged into the water, aud, after great exertions, happily succeeded in bringing up ihe child' from the bottom of the Pool, and had tfie gratification of witnessing bis hnipane nnd extraordinary endeavours crow ued w ith success, by the child being restored to life through the means adopted by Mr. Pi icl. iat'd, surgeon, of this lown. One of these^ worthies wbo " live by their wits," has been " raising the wind" at Ombersley, Stour- port, and Kiddcrmi. ster, in the following; manner. At each of these places be obtained the names of several widows, and then calling on them, respec- tively addressed them thus- r— u ob, you are the widow , do not let the intelligence 1 am about to communicate to you overpower your feelings, I am dispatched by Mr. Brown, of Bridgnorth, to in- form you that you are lately become entitled to con- siderable property, and he wishes you to meet him at Kidderminster on a certain day, to receive par- ticulars of it, and to consult about taking possession, and Mr. BVown leaves it to you to remunerate me for tny trouble* As will be readily imagined, tidings such as these came welcome to all, the bearer of them was treated with the best each house could afford, besides a pecuniary recompense, ac- cording1 to their' present means, by some, and by othefs as they bad estimated the extent of the wealth in store for them, but in most instances, we understand, the fellow got a shilling', and iti many, half- a- crown. On the day appointed, the widows trudged off to Kidderminster, indulging- in the pleas- ing reverie which their sadden good fortune was calculated to excite^- a new house, new furniture, wide domain, & e. arid though last, not least, as a natural consequence, a neiv husband! The place of rendezvous Mr. B. had named was oae of the first Inns, arid the landlord . being* beset early in the morning by numerous inquiries for him, had the curiosity to ask one of the applicants who so im-* portant a personage was, and for what reason he was in so much request? On being- informed, he suspected the whole to be a hoa£> and, upon putting the question to several others, and hearing the same tale, he soon became convinced that it was so. With difficulty he persuaded the poor women that they had been imposed on, and they returned to their homes in no small, dudgeon at this sudden vanishing of all their golden dreams. Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. J. B Blakeway :-*- House- Visitors, Mr. Blunt aud Mr. YVas'd, E< lward Humphreys, of Forden, in the county of Montgomery, was convicted, on the 3d inst. by the Rev. Cha » les Leicester, Clerk, and fined in the mitigated penalty of one pound an » l costs, for driving a team with three horses through West bury tnfnpike gate, and afterwards putting a fourth horse to the • aid team, for the purpose of evading the loll. Monday evening last, the residence of the Rev. Dr. Gardner, at St. Philip's Rectory, RirmmgUam, was eutered whilst the family were at dinner, and robbed of jewellery to a considerable amount.

NO JOKE [—[ From a Correspondent^—^ in a neigh- bouring county ( Montgomeryshire^, on the 26th ult. some jovial neighbours met, and in course of con- versation, one of the party bargained with another gentleman present for a brace of young Foxes, which were stated to be at the next house, and for which the sporting, butcher, with a view tb fature'profit, paid down a gallon of ale and three- pennyworth of tobacco, which, with the joke, was drank and smoked by some of the party.— On the butcher taking his bag for the brace of reynards, two fine children ( Foxcs!) were presented to him, which the astonished sportsman refused to receive: the bargain being made in the presence of. " g; ood men'- and credible witnesses, 1 the other party threatened an action ( not at law, probably,) for breach of covenant; but it has heen suggested; that, by way of let- off, the butcher ( who is a respectable man, and no churl) should give a handsome treat in liquidation of all lawful demands. Iu our last publication ( says the Cambrian Swansea paper) " we were led into a mis- statement respecting the Narberth and flaverfordwcst banks of Messrs. Saer, Thomas, and Co. which we regiet the more deeply, as we received our intelligence from a soutfee on which we felt no hesitation in relying. VVe have great pleasure in adding, that we have the most satis- factory assurances of the stability of their banks, both at Narbertb and at Haverfordwest, where all demands have beeu promptly liquidated, and the run upon them has, w e understand, now nearly ceased." EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF A DOG.- About seven weeks ago some; mischievous cruel boys, having an animosity to a dog, belonging to one John Brown, a tailor, of Cefn Va'chan1; hear Rnabon, availed themselves of the first opportunity, to . throw him secretly down an old coal pit, a hundred and two feet in depth, which had not been worked for fifteen years; and every search was made for him in vain, by his sorrowful master.— This same pit had been the occasional receptacle of animal carcases, for the adjoining hamlet; but, it has been well ascertained that nothing of the kind had been thrown in for a considerable period. Three weeks after the deposition of this unhappy dog, a pig, which had met with a more natural death than falls to the lot of that savoury tribe in general, was also consigned to this tomb of the four- footed ; which now remained for nearly a month without any further accession of visitors. Latt Thursday week, however, the proprietor having determined to re- commence the works, a windlass was erected, and a candle lowered down to ascertain the state in which the pit was ; and whether there was in it impure air. As the light approached the bottom, a living' animal could be seen; but too indistinctly to show of what description.' Curiosity, mingled perhaps with a better feeling, induced the miners to lovrer one of their party to ihe Unexpected tenant, which saluted his arrival with such growls as plainly bo^ p. oke his nature, at the same time that they betrayed an inclination to dispute any; intrusion into this gloomy abode. He proved to be; the long- lost dog of John Brown, which, after an immolation of nearly seven weeks, was . restored in good and sleeky condition to the earth's surface!— His mode of entertainment for the last month had been by no means? of a despicable description^ a fact, to which the disappearance of all the more deliieate parts of his defunct neighbour bore strong evidence. But, the more puzzling matter is, how did he exist for the previous three weeks without food, and without water ? for after a most careful research, into the chambers branching off, there was none to be found. Was the rain sufficient, which occasionally fell on the * eye of the pit, 1 ( as they term that circumference at the bottom which is opposed to the opening) to sustain life?— Certain it. is, that the dog did exist for so long a period, under all the circumstances 1 have detailed. The chief injury he had sustained, was a broken limb in the fall, but uature had perfectly rejimbed this, . when he was found. The poor animal, I am glad to say, has fallen into the hands of a gentleman, whose humanity will ensures an ample supply of comfort, as a return / for the privation and extraordinary danger which he has undergone.— Chester Chronicle. DENBIGH DISPENSARY.— We are happy to find that on Thursday, the 29th ult. the annual Ball, in aid of the funds of the Denbigh General Dispensary, was, as usual, most numeroystyi.^ d highly respect- ably attended, comprising the greater proportion of the nobility and gentry of the county.—- The receipts are said to have exceeded those . of the- tasfc. year, I and will afford a powerful aid towards completing1 the furnishing; the wards ofthe charity. I$ y the favour of the Viscount Clive, we are ena- bled to present to our readers the following outline jjyf the " Sketch of the intended Bill to' be proposed to the Shrewsbury United District for Maintenance of the Poor, as proper to. be introduced into Parlia- ment to be passed into an Act for repealing the pre- sent Act of the 54th Geo. 111. chapter 15, whereby the said District was formed, and enacting other powers and regulations instead* for some limited time." The Preamble to recite, that said Act of 24th Geo. Ill c. 15, was passed for the better relief and employ- ment o'f the Poor belonging to the several parishes of Saint Chad,- Saint Mary, Saint Af& niond, Saint Julian, , Meole Brace, otherwise Brace Meole, and Holy Cross and Saint Giles, within the Town of Shrewsbury, aud its Liberties, in the County of Salop : — That by virtue of said Acta certain Messuage,- Out- buildings, Garden, Lands, aad o'ther. Hereditaments, in the said parish of Me. ole Brace, were purchased and appropriated, and thence hitherto used, and still are used, for the purposes of same Act, and" were and con- tinue to be denominated " The Shrewsbury House of Industry and the same is provided and furnished with Household and other Goods, Chattels, thensils, Materials, and Effects, for those purposes. ;; That for the purpose of paying for the said Purchase and the said Goods, Chattels, and Effects, and dis- charging*:, "- the . other expenses , of forming the said establishment, several sums. of money have been bor- rowed and taken up at interest on mortgage and other- wise, by • virtue, of the said Act, and £ thereof, with some, interest for the same, remains due and owiifg : — That the said Poor ha Ve, ever since tlio commence- ment of that Act, heen and . still are maintained and provided for in the said House. of Industry, and otherwise under the provisions of the ssiid Act j but that those provisions liaye been fouud to be and are insufficient to effect the beneficial purposes which were intended, and the expenses of maintaining, and pro- viding for the said Poor, instead of being . lessened, have considerably increased, and have fallen dispro- portionately on the said Parishes, which increase and disproportion are likely to continue : — That from those circumstances, and from the whole- some Provisions, relative to the Poor, which, since the passing of the said. Act, have been enacted bv Parliament ( of the advantages whereof . the said Parishes are under the existing establishment pre- cluded from availing themselves) it is become expe- dient, for the better and more economical maintenance of the Poor of the said Parishes, that the Powers and Provisions given and made by that Act should be repealed, and others enacted for a limited time, to afford the respective inhabitants of the said Parishes proper time to investigate and ascertain the exact state of the Debts, Credits, and other affairs of the said Corporation, and from experience of the effect of the Alterations and Provisions in, and the operation of, the said general Laws in the management of the Poor of the said Parishes, to enable them the better to judge whether any Poor House or Houses will be desirable for all, any, or either of their said respective Parishes, instead of the said House of Industry, and in the event of such Poor House or Houses being desirable, of what size and form the same respectively should be, and that at the expiration of such limited time, the said Corporation should be dissolved, all the - said Powers and Provisions ( whether created by the said recited Act or this Act) should cease, the'said House of Industry, anM other the Property of the said Corporation, should be sold and disposed of, all Debts and Deniands be paid aud satisfied, and the Surplus ( if any) be divided and disposed of for the benefit of the Poor of the said Parishes, in manner hereinafter di- rected. It is then proposed to enact, That from and after the day of 1S26, the present Act . be repealed, and the said six Parishes ( except such parts as separately maintain their Own Poor) be re incorporated and united as one District, for the purposes ofthe new Act.

CHURCH STRETTON. TheCou. rt met on Monday for the hearing of Appeals ; and as soon ns the Chairman ( T. Pcmberton, Esq.) had taken his place, Mr. Bather took the opportunity of mentioning the case of Mary Jones, who had been com- mitted to prison on a charge of having secreted her delivery of a male bastard child, and with having secretly buried the said child in a garden iu the parish of Uleobury. North.'' Tbe learned Gentleman said it had been decided that there was no legal ground for committing to prison upon such charge. The Chairman observed, the Bench could not take cognizance of the case, although means would, probably, be taken by the Visiting Magistrates to inform the prisoner what legal methods she might adopt. The only case of appeal which occupied the Court for any length of time, was one in which the parish of Shawbury was the appellant, and the parish of St. Mary, in this town, was the respondent, and in which the oider of removal of Elizabeth Harris and her three children to the parish of Shawbury was confirmed.— On the part of the appellant Parish, Uowevcrv some. ob. jections were taken, with a view of bringing the case before the Court of Kingls Bench. Yesterday, Elizabeth Peake, found ghilty upon very clear evidence, as also by her own confession, of stealing a piece of printed cotton, from the shop of Mr. Robert Dawes, of Drayton, was sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months. Fanny Philpot, charged with stealing several articles of apparel from the house of a working- man named Griffiths, iu the parish of Stottesden, was acquitted.— The prosecutor swore to various articles found in the prisoner's possession, but she asserted that some of them wCre her own, and that others of them had been lent to her by the prosecutor's wife. Richard Price, charged with stealing a £ 5 note and four £ l notes, the property of Joseph Simpson, was acq'nitted.— The prosecutor had been drinking at a pnbliohouse at Hales Owen, and went to sleep on the screen; the prisoner and many others were drinking there; and one witness deposed to having seen the prisoner take papers like bank notes from the prose- cutor's breeches- pocket while he lay asleep; a consta- ble was sent for, but he neglected to search tfie prisoner, alleging that the prisoner and the other persons in ihe house were all one set, and he was afraid of his life if he interfered; the proof of theft was, therefore, defective. William Biidge, aged 14, and stated to be of weak intellect, was found guilty of stealing 4 horse- shoes, the property of Edward Bowen, of Oldbury, aud sentenced to 1 month's imprisonment to hard labour. James Cowley, for stealing a variety of articles from ths house^ of Mr. John Drury, of Wem, innkeeper, with whom she had lived as servant, was sentenced to 3 months' imprisonment.— Mary Richards, charged with receiving the same articles, knowing them to have been stolen, was acquitted. Thomas Vanghan, for stealing iron tires from the premises of Thomas Downes, of Went, farmer, was sentenced to be imprisoned 5 months to hard labour. Thomas Jones, for stealing about Gibs, of steel from the premises of Samuel Edge, of Garmstbn, was sen- tenced to be imprisoned 2 months to hard labour. William Featherstone, charged with having been found in Shavington Wood, the property of Eurl Killmorey, on. the night of the 22d November, armed with a loaded gun with intent to kill game, was found guilty.— The gamekeeper, John Law, hearing the firing of a gun in the wood, went to the spot; the prisoner, on seeing him, took to his heels, but the gamekeeper, threatening him if he. did not surrender, overtook him; the prisoner gave himself up, and oil searching him, his gun was found loaded, two pheasants were iu his pockets, also powder and shot, See.— The Chairman, in passing sentence, said, if the prisoner had made any resistance, lie should have felt bound to sentence him to seven years' transportation; but as he had not resisted, he was sentenced to be imprisoned six months to hard labour. John Fieldhouse and Allen Fieldhouse, for violently assaulting Robert Corbet, of Wellington, when in the execution of his duty as constable, were senteuced to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour, and to give sureties for their future good behaviour.

Several robberies having been r? cently committed in Hales Ovven, the constables have been oil the alert to find out the depredators, and early oil Thurs- day morning, as Mr. Grainger, the Chief Constable,• and one ofhis men, wei- e going round tin village, they perceived a light in the office of Mr. Hayes, the solicitor., There was a man standing outside, M whom Mr. G. went, and asked him what he was doing, when he was struck a severe blow ou the head with an iron crow- bar, Mr. Grainger's attend- ant then rushed forward to collar the man, but ha was instantly knocked down and the villain ran off. — Another man then came out ofthe office window, and also made his escape, after stealing about twenty pounds belonging to Mr. Hayes's son, which was contained in a drawer in the office.

One of those collisions so frequently occurring he- t ween poachers and the guardians of game took place a few nlgh't!! since on I he estate. of Francis Law lev, Esq. near Middleton, Warwickshire.

Co. lately forming a part of Ihe Dissenting Meeting house in Paradise, street, Birmingham, was entered by some person or persons, who, finding the key of the iron chest, in which the account books of the concern weie de- posited, took them out, and after heaping them upon liie office floor, set them on fire. Tbe fire was discovered in time to prevent the flames from seri- ously injuring the building, but not before the books had become so much consumed as to render them illegible aud useless. What could be Ihe motive of so diabolical an act is not ascertained, nor are the villains yet detected. A reward of one hundred pound's, is offered for their apprehension. CA UTION.— Two note* purporting to bo one pound notes of the Bank of England, bearing the same number, date, and signature, having, in ( he course of business, come into the possession of a respectable retail tradesman in Birmingham, be immediately wrote to the Bank, describing them, and inquiring whether a duplicate of a genuine note could bv any chance find its way into circulation. The reply, which, as might be cxpeeled, was in the negative, further stated, lhat no one pound notes of the date referred to had been issued. Tbe notes in question are exceedingly well executed, and hear the signa- lure, " P.

Nov. 16 TH, 1825. sends his mixed receipts, consisting of various private bank notes, of checks, of bills of exchange, generally within three months' date, and of gold and silver, if there be such, to the bankers. The accounts are kept half- yearly, arid the customer is credited with the whole amount, arid with interest at — per cent, upon it from the day it is lodged, to the end of the current half- year^— the interest, however, upon that part of the lodgment consisting of bills being calculated from the period at which they becomc clue. All deposits made from day to day are treated in the same manner. The draughts of the merchant, manufacturer, or trader, are paid out of the fund just stated, and he is debited with them, and with the current interest at four per cent, to the end of six months, 011 their respective pmonnfs. The genera! understanding, however, is that the payments shall not be paid in gold, but in local notes, or in draughts on London, not exceed- ing: two months' date, or hy indorsements of private bills in the bankers' coffers. Thus a manufacturer, who has a large sum to pay his workmen weekly, draws out of his banker'son the Friday or Saturday, as many of that banker's notes ns will meet the occasion, and disburses them to his operatives, who pay them away to the several tradespeople with whom they deal. Other persons in the country likewise draw out local notes to disburse as they may find necessary, and t! e currency of th? pro- vinces, with a trifling exception, thereby comes to consist of private banker's notes. For distant pay- ments, draughts, acceptances, or endorsements are given hy the banker to his customers; That no " balances" like those retained by the i otirlon bankers are required to he left here, will 1) 3 evident from the fact that customers of established credit tfr. d character are frequently allowed to overdraw their accounts to a considerable amount. The profits accruing from the transactions we have now described being in a great measure derived from bankers charging four per cent, interest on issues of their own notes must be; considerable, but they besides charge a quarter per cent, commission, and also what they call postage, by which they arc enabled to bear the heavy stamp duty of od. on caclt £ 1 note, and ls. 3d. ou each £ 0 note, & e. which they may put into circulation. The effects of these op rations ar? to limit the currency in the provinces almost exclusively to local paper of various denominations. This paper, however, is by law convertible, 011 demand, into gold, and consequently, where it has been profusely disseminated, nearly an impossibility exists during a panic cr aiat m, for bankers to avoid a suspension of payment. Their notes in the country, their draughts and acceptances in London, must alt be redeemed with specie, although the securities on which so many aud such heavy engagements have been circulated'may mostly be'inconvertible, at the moment, into cash, and many of til em may be rendered worthless by tho very circumstances which call their immediate exchange into money. One result of disastrous occurrences, such as the country has recently experienced, is common both to London and fo provincial bankers. The balances in the hands of both are withdrawn by their customers, in gold, and whatever part may uot be invested forthwith in government securities is usually kept locked up by the owners. Not only, therefore, is the currency converted suddenly int. specie, to the great loss of the nation, but a large portion of the public capital also, which portion yields no profit either to the proprietors, or the country. could disturb the Scottish— it is safe from panic— because any one Bank, by the mutual confidence that exists," could meet a run ; and it is still more s » fe from panic, bccause experience, which is fatal to the English system, is most favourable to it.— From the Glasgow Free Press. [ FROM THE STAR Of JAN. 2.] With the commencement of a new year, wc really believe the thinking portion of our countrymen are heartily disposed to promote tiie commencement of a systematic reform of the many crying abuses which have led to the recent agitation of our money market, and spread such consternation aud distress throughout the land. Those abuses are by many supposed to consist in our existing banking system, for the reformation of which, many remedies are SCOTCH & ENGLISH BANKING. The first, and second Stanzas of the above Poem allude to Topper's fleetness and the manner of his death. The third tells that he was never outmatched, find that Death, knowing his fame to have heen sufficient, removed him in order lo leave a fair contest between humbler dogs. The fourth says that should R hare nt any time come to feed on Topper's grave, a quivering tremor will instantly pervade tier frame, oil reflecting that Topper, though dead, lies near. " This tract of land, which is an extensively open ground, and well calculated for Coursing, derived its name from a solitary hut on it, inhabited, some time ago, by a poor man of the name of Sion ( John), whose coat was so much variegated with patches, that, resembling a Quilt more than any thing else, it soon procured for him the distinguishing appellation of Sion Quilt, and for his residence, now so celebrated, that of Ty Sion Quilt. LONDON BANKING-. The banking business of the capital is carried 011 by the Bank of England, and about sixty- seven private banking houses: and, except in being the source whence, the legal currency of the realm primarily issues both iu gold, silver,, and we may ray, in notes, aud in the consequence's dependent on that peculiarity, the former eionducts its affairs nearly in the same manner as the latter. We shall, therefore, confine ourselves at present to the or- dinary operations of the London private bankers. Every person, company, & c. who opens an account with a London banker, is, as tin understood con- dition, obliged to deposit with the establishment a certain sum of money, and during tlie subsequent continuance of the account, always to let a greater or less sum remain in the banker's hands as a balance. The deposits and lodgments / ire made, either in cash or approved bills, not having more than two months to run, aud the latter are dis- counted by the bank at ft per cent, for their un- expired term from the day Ihey are lodged. By these discounts and the profitable employment of the balances just mentioned, belonging to the customers of the bank, for which no i terest is allowed, the banker is compensated for his trouble. It. will here be observed, that the net sum, after deducting the discount on bills of exchange, to- gether with tito deposits in cash, form the fund out of which the draughts of the customer are paid, and that the balance is the fluctuating amount remaining undrawn from day to day. The London private bankers do not issue their own notes, but pay al draughts upon them either in gold or Bank of England notes, ' i hey, however, accept bills for their customers, accoreiing to circumstances, and otherwise afford accommodation consistent with the general principles of their trade. The transaction's of the establishments with provincial banks are antilogous to their transactions with private indi- vidual!-. The i. otes, or the bills of the provincial housed, payable at the Loudon bank, are equivalent lo cheeks, lo meet which lodgments must have been previously made, leaving a suitable balance always in hand as in other casts. From this statement of facts, the nature of runs upon the banks in the metropolis may be conceived. The customers all hasten to draw out their balances, in the teeth of a tacit agreement to the contrary, aud must have them paid in gold and notes, obtain- able by the private bankers only from the Bank of England, either mediately or immediately. In the mean time many of the bills, and other securities, upon the strength of which the balances are formed, may not be payable or convertible into cash, and thus the banker is called upon in reality to advance money to others upon what no one will advance a shilling to himself at the moment of alarm, he is besides called oo to allord at eomrnotlation to his provincial banking customers, by obtaining money lor their securities at the same time, and thereby pressed at once by demands for aid, aud by deniahds for payments, the latter of which tend to prevent compliance with the former. The London banker charges no commission to those who bank witli hi but relies solely for remuneration upon the profits by discounts, and the employment, within a prudent extent, of' tlie balances leit in his possession for that purpose. , Bank of England notes, by being payable every- where, may be met with everywhere, and can be imitated everywhere. As the Bank cannot have agents in each town to watch and investigate cases of forgery immediately 011 their discovery, no means they could invent,- although the ingenuity of thou- sands has been employed for years on the subject, could prevent the practice of forgery. A long calendar of criminals, whose names are written in sanguinary characters in the records cf justice, testifies this truth, and We sl ould imagine, for every one that was discovered and executed, at least ten, who were not so, have been implicated in this crime. Ko long, therefore, as the'notes of the Bank of Eng- land are spread over a large surface of country, without a superintending eye to \ Vat'ch over each particular place, the forger will calculate on the difficulty of his detection, and be induced to conti nue bio nefarious ingenuity. The English system of Banking is therefore bad, inasmuch as it renders its paper money liable to imitation or forgery. Now, upon these three points,, in which the Eng- lish system in so bad, the Scotch system is decidedly the contrary. We might content ourselves with making this assertion, accompanied by the fact that uo Scotch bank ever failed, or paid less than 20s. in the pound— that they have been eminently bene- ficial to the people among whom they have been established— that nearly the whole of them' have enriched their proprietors— and that forgeries have been rare among them, and, when attempted, speedily detected. We might content ourselves with these facts, but as it may, at this nioment, be interesting to know w hy these things are so, we shall enter a little into detail. The Scotch system of banking does. not produce the evil of Insecurity. \ 1st, Because it is uot limited in the number of its partners. Many persons are connected with each bank, and their conjoint capital is known to acli other, aud to the individuals among whom they reside. 2d, Because they have the profitable disposal of the money lodged with them under their own eyes, — not sending it lo London, to another house, for tbe purpose of speculating in shares, stock, and other unreal and fluctuating species of property, but discounting bills, granting banking accounts, and issuing notes to individuals whom they know, whose business is near to them, and known to them, and who, they are assured, do not want the money for any mad schemes of speculation. 3d, Because they have 110 temptation to speculate with the deposits of their constituents, beiugobliged to pay a certain per centage, as interest upon all money lodged with them, and their profit being the difference of one per cent, between giving money and receiving it,— besides a profit of 5 per cent, upon all the notes they issue, so long as such notes at e iu circulation, and their commissions, & c. upon draughts, upon London bills, & c. with interest upen all discounts which arc paid in advance. The way in which profits are realised in the Scottish batiks appears to us to be as follows :— Say there is subscribed and deposited a capital to com- mence wilh of £ 200,00( 1; that the deposits are a million, at 4 per cent, and the discounts and bank, ittg accounts a million at f> per cent,.; that the issue of notes is half a million, of which £ 300,000 in value is kept in constant circulation— there will be— Profit 011 Discounts, Bills, Bonds, & c, at 1 Dillo for ft per cent, interest on £ 500,000 paid for discounts iu advance Dilto ou issue of £ 300,000 in notes proposed ; and in particular, it is suggested that o « r country banks should, in their future constitu tion, be assimilated to those of Scotland, which are composed of an unlimited number of partners. Of this last remedy we shall merely say, in the con- eluding words " of an ingenious cure for the tooth- ache, which appears in the Times of this morning, " that the full efficacy of it will be best known by the test of experience;" and so far we fully agree with the one and the other recipe. To simple understandings, however, it may admit of a doubt, at least, whether the combining the greater part of the lauded Gentry of a County as proprietors or partners iu a Country Bank, each of whom will have some influence in obtaining loans or discounts, and have a personal interest in diffusing the circulation of local bank notes, be the most infallible means of preventing an excessive issue of accommodation paper, and consequent speculation in the country That the ultimate security of the paper would be increased wc do not deny, but the whole question relates to an unnecessary issue of bank notes, which, while convertible into gold, never can main- tain their value, unless in moderate quantity, what- ever be the security. This fact, we think, is suffi- ciently attested by the late downfall of so many eminent houses possessing a superabundaaee of property. And while Englishmen reason on the - prosperity of the Scotch Batiks, and fancy that the same effect would follow in their country from adopting a simi- lar system of Banking, they are, perhaps, overlook- ing one or two important considerations in the laws and customs of Scotland, which are never over- looked, however, 011 the other side of the Tweed. Debts of every description are more secure ill Scot- land than here. All the landed property in Scotland, which is at the disposal of the proprietor, by being unentailed or unencumbered, is liable to be sold for the payment of simple contract debts. Even a grocer's account may bring a Nobleman's estate to the hammer; and the meanest individual in the kingdom, that chooses to take the trouble, may ascertain, for a few shillings, theexteut of entail or encumbrance which affects the estate of the highest or lowest landed proprietor whatsoever; because no transaction, or deed of any kind, affecting land, whether by way of sale, mortgage, or otherwise, is at all valid in law, unless recorded in the public registers within forty clays after date, which regis- ters any one may inspect. Moreover, and which is still more important, the privilege of attaching a debtor's moveables in the hands of a third party, ou the commencement of an action,, which is peculiar to the City of London, is universal in Scotland, and reduced in practice to the' greatest simplicity. But further, and which most of all concerns the present question, every simple contract debt, of whatsoever measure or kind, bears interest at the rate of five per cent, per annum, as a matter of course. Consequently, the Scotch creditor has no such occasion to call in his debts, which are so amply secured, iu order to invest the money in the public funds, or other spe- culations, as the creditor in this country. The debtor there, who has any visible substance, ha3 the most decided motive to acquit himself of the obliga- tion, in order to save interest. The quantity of circulating medium, therefore, which is sufficient for every useful purpose in Scotland, is reduced, by the consent of all parties, to the lowest point com- patible with the ordinary transactions of buyer and seller. We apprehend that these considerations have a material influence, not only 011 the banking system North of the Tweed, but also on the general pro- sperity which that portion of the Empire has so long enjoyed— and many, very many improvements fall yet to be adopted in England, beft. re she can compete with the sister kingdom in commercial advancement pression of the Slave Trade anil Piracy, not forgetting an incidental compliment to the Marquis De la Fayette, who was conveyed across the Atlantic and back under the American Flag ; and it deserves to be noted that as Mr. Adams had warmly applauded tbe maintenance of institutions for a Land Army, so he strong ly urges a permanent Naval Peace Establish- ment. The communications by post in the United Stales are wonderfully extensive, ami yet the Post Office Establishment now ( for the first- lime) produces a surplus receipt of .15,000 dollars. The remainder of tbe message evinces in Mr. Qoiucy Adatris a very laudable zeal in the cause of science.- He speaks handsomely and justly of " the generous emulation with which the Governments of France, Great Britain, and Russia have devoted the genius, the intelligence, and Ihe treasures of their re- spective nations to the common improvement of the specie's" iu geography and astronomy, and holds those Governments up as splendid examples 10 be followed in Ihis re » pect tiy the American Legislature. He, in like manner, quotes the examples of England aud France, in their scientific improvement of weights and measures, suggests the endowment of a University, and the construction of an Observatory, and recom- mends certain enlargements of the Executive and Judiciary departments, as required by the great in- crease of population, aud the wide ramifications of foreign intercourse. Finally, Mr. Adams winds up his discourse with the remark, 111 which we cordially join him, that " Liberty is Power." Whether Liberty exists more truly and ads more efficiently under the British than under the American Constitution, it is needless here to dispute. We rejoice to see, in the Message of Mr. Quincy Adams, a spirit of candour, and a readiness to do justice, not only to Ihe good intentions, but lo the liberal conduct of the British Government.

" A breath of current," as the Times says, could disturb the Eng lish System of Banking; but no breath of current American President's Message. By the Silas Richards, which arrived 011 Monday, t Liverpool, in 24 days from New Y'ork, the Pre. ideut's Message to Congress was received. This is the first Address of tbe kind which it has fallen to the lot of Mr. Quiticy Adams to deliver. The Message is ' appropriately introduced by an expression of gratitude to the Author of all Good, for the blessings of health and abundance, and peace, which he litis deigned to bestow on the American people. It is also mentioned as a just topic of con- gratulation, that, with a small but unhappy exception, he European- countries arc at peace, and most of heir Governments are acting upon the principle, that the pioper end of political institution! is the happiness of the people.— fu adverting to the Foreign Relations of the United Stales,, the President nalu- allv directs his first attention to Great Britain, lie noliccs the important changes lately effected in our system of commerce and navigation. The system f the United Slates, he says, is a liberal one. Ten years ago tlicy offered to other maritime nations to place their respective shipping on an equality as lo tonnage and import duties. This offer was after a time acceded lo successively by England, Sweden, Ihe Netherlands, I be Hanse Towns, Prussia, Sardinia, Oldenburg, Russia, and, in a modified degree, by France. Some restrictions yet remain which it is desirable should be removed. rile next topic lo which Mr. Adams adverts, is oue which, however popular in America, will carry little weight with it elsewhere; we mean Ihe claims of America on France, Naples, Denmark, & c. for indemnity 011 account uf robberies perpetrated by Buonaparte. A nunc gratifying part of the Message, is the announcement of a Treaty of Navigation ond Com- merce concluded between Ihe United Stales and Colombia, and 1111 intimation that similar treaties will soon be concluded with several of the other South American Republics. It is also an important piece of information Ihat the United States hjive been invited lo send Representatives to Ihe Congress about lo be assembled at Panama, and have accepted the invitation. After a slight notice of the Commission appointed under Ihe treaty of Ghent, and of that appointed to settle the indemnification for captured slaves, the President proceeds to treat of ihe internal concerns of the Republic. Oe recommends a new Bankrupt Law, ami a new law for Ihe regulation of the Militia; and gives Ihe following gratifying view of the American Finances:— Dollars. Receipt ( independeiitlv of Loans) - 22,000,000 EXPENDITURE. Debt paid off 8,000,000 Remunerations for past services - - 1,500,0.00 New Fortifications erected - - - 1,500,000 Augmentation of Naval Force - - 500,000 Purchase of India Territory - - 500,000 Heads and oilier Improvements - - 1,000,000 Interest of the National Debt - - - 4,000,000 General Expense* of Government - 7,000,000 24, ooojooo Thus it appears that though eight million dollars of debt have been paid off, only two of these have been required to be raised by Loan; consequently, Ihe Revenue has afforded a surplus of six million dollars applied in extinction of Debt. At Ihis rate, the whole remaining Debt, which is only 81,000,000 dollars, would be paid off in 13| years. The organization and discipline of the Army, tlie President says, are effective ; and he highly praises the new Military Academy and Artillery School. From these he passes to tbe Treaties with the Indian tribes ( prudently deferring the disputed questions 011 Ihe Creek Treaty till a future Message), and winds up this branch of his remarks with a notice of the surveys made by the Engineering Department, with a view to the opening new communications iu the interior, & c. The next great object is the Navy. The President dilates upon the employment of the cruising squadrons in the Mediterranean and Pacific seas, and the sup- Died, at Sheldon, Warwickshire, aged 55, Mi, Mary Sheldon. The following munificent bequests to charities in Birmingham have been made by this lady :•—£ 1,000 to Ihe Hospital; £ 1,000 to Ihe Dispensary; £ 1,000 to Ihe Blue School ; £ 1,000 to Ihe Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge ; and the interest of£ l, 000 for ten poor women who attend ihe regular worship of St Philip's Church. NEW CEMETERY.— It is said that frotn the pre- sent crowded slate of the church. yards in Liverpool, it is scarcely possible lo obtain a gravr. A number of gentlemen have therefore memorialized the Com- mon Council to grant the reversion of the extensive excavation or stone- quarry, at the top of Doke. slrecl, for a new general cemetery. The Council granted the request. The land, al present an unsightly waste, presents the appearance of a deep ravine, or romantic glen ; the eastern side nearly perpendicular, covering ti space of nine statute acres of ground, or room for 13,000 tombs. T'he catacombs are to Lie excavated iu the solid rock. On Ihe side under Ihe Mount Gardens the ground will be planted, and arranged in character witii its picturesque appearance. On the rock stand illg at Ihe north end of the ravine, an oratory, or chapel, will be erected after a Grecian design : and another rock will be surmounted by a house for the minister. These situations will command a view down Duke street. At the south end a house for the clerk will be erected, and suitable dwellings for the sexton and assistants, A substantial wall will sur- round the whole.— The ground will be consecrated, and connected with ihe Establishment ; and auy sur- plus profits arising from the sale of the graves, after discharging the interest money laid out, wiil lie ap- plied to increase the salaries of the clergy belonging to the Established Church, many of whom are very inadequately remunerated. On Friday morning, a quarterly general meeting of the Governors of our Infirmary was held in the Board- room of the Institution, the Lord Bishop of the Diocesa in the chair. After the usual routine business of the clay had been disposed of, a memo- rial, signed bytiiewhole of the gentlemen compos- ing the Medical Establishment, was submitted to the meeting, pointing out the difficulties they had to encounter in the treatment of their patients, owing to there not being sufficient room to admit of their classification ; that in consequence thereof, those labouring under every variety of disorder were indiscriminately mixed, by reason of which, the worst diseases were liable to be spread throughout the general body, and the recovery of all greatly retarded and endangered. The memorial concluded by recommending that to remedy these evils, an extension of the building should take place, so as to provide several additional small wards, and it also mentioned the expediency of the erection of a room for surgical operations. The proposition met with much discussion, and its propriety appeared to be generally admitted, but in consequence of the funds of the institution being at the present moment in rather a low condition, it was, upon the motion of John Williams, Esq. seconded by J. hn Phillips, Esq unanimously resolved, that the thanks of the Go- vernors be given to the Medical Gentlemen for the suggestion, and that it be taken into consideration when the means of the institution shall appeal- adequate to the carrying of it into execution.^ Worcester Herald. The Conservatory which adjoins the mansion at Avington Park, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, was discovered to be on fire on Wed- nesday last; but there Being an engine on the spot, and a plentiful supply of water, the flames were extinguished before they could communicate to the mansion. We understand that it is the intention of Sir T. Lethbridge, with a view to the interests of Ihe country at large, but of agriculture in particular, lo bring forward, in the next Session of Parliament, a question wilh regard to Ihe present slate of Country Banking, should the subject not be taken up by Ministers.— Courier. To WASH WOOLLEN GOODS.— This art of wash- ing woollen things, so as to prevent them from shrinking, is one of the many desiderata in domestic economy worthy of being recorded. All descrip- tions of woollen goods should be well w ashed 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— pro- batum est. POACHING.— ON Saturday last the Earl of Albe- marle gave to all his work- people and families on his extensive farms bis annual donation of beef, bread, and beer ; oue of whom, Robert Codings of Kenning- hall, received 16lbs. of beef, 8 quartern loaves, and 6 pints of strong beer. At two o'clock on the Suuday morning he was taken poaching, with a gnu, in a plantation near the hall; and 011 Monday was com- mitted to Gaol. The Chester Chronicle says, " We learn wilh dismay to what fearful exlent the crime of Poaching prevails in this neighbourhood.— Latterly, the estates of Sir J. P. Stanley, Bart, at Alderley, and of Davies Davenport, Esq. of Capesthorne, have been infested by hordes of men, sometimes to the number of twenty in a gang, who pursue this debased and debasing system of plunder with daring effrontery; setting at defiance the keepers that are appointed to watch the grounds. Strong measures, we understand, have beeu adopted to check these lawless depredators," On Saturday afternoon, the following accident happened at St. Leonard's, in the parish of Fryern- ing, the residence of William Gordon Coesvelt, Esq. That gentleman had directed his workmen to collect some ice from a pond adjoining the garden, and place it in the icehouse. Mr. Coesvelt in the course of the day himself superintended the work, and at the close directed Tyrell, his head- gardener, and Ram, his assistant, to collect some pieces of ice still floating, and place them nearer to a certain part, the more easily to be obtained 011 Monday morning. To effect this purpose the two men, in the absence of Mr. Coesvelt, got into a small punt, calculated for one person only, which, as it appeared, upset ; a shriek was heard by persons employed in the ice- house, who instantly ran to the spot, where the boat was seen floating- bottom upwards, as well as the hats belonging to the two unfortunate men. The most earnest endeavours were used to rescue them from a watery grave, but it was upwards of forty minutes before the bodies could be found, when life had become totally extinct. Mr. Butler, sur- geon, of lngatestone, attended with the greatest p- omptness, and used every endeavour to restore animation, but, alas! without effect. Tyrell hasleft a wife and two children. Ram was a single man.— Essex Herald. We are in possession of some information, which is of great importance in endeavouring to anticipate the probable consequences of the demise of the Emperor Alexander, and which is perhaps unknown to auy other Journalists in the kingdom— even to those who are supposed occasionally to receive their cue frotn Ministers.

THE MUTINY OF THE SEPOYS.— A letter from a young man 111 a British regiment, addressed to his Father in Ireland, says, under date of Camp, Proine, in the Kingdom of Ava, July 17, We were ordered to Barrackpore, a military station about 17 miles from Calcutta, to quell an alarming mutiny among the Sepoys. The 47th Bengal Native Infantry had refused so go on service : they were joined by men from other corps : Major- General Dalzell's life was openly threatened ; the whole European population expected assassination; the danger caused the most lively apprehensions on the part of Govern- ment. We landed at eleven at night,, two miles from the mutineers' quarters. Never shall I forget the silence which pervaded the ranks that night. We were not aware of the numerical strength of the enemy; nor, with our senior Lieut.- Colouel Elrington along with us, cared we how strong they were. We were drawn up close in rear of their lines, and joined by the 2d battalion of tbe Royals, a brigade of guns, and a troop of the Governor- General's body guard. Our arrival diffused univer- sal joy among the inhabitants, Even females had armed themselves. At gun- fire in the morning, the mutineers formed a close column on some open ground. We were drawn up in line to oppose them ; the Royals, of whose presence they were then not aware, were drawn np in an ambuscade. Four field pieces were placed on an eminence that commanded them ; the whole so- admirably arranged, that the mutineers thought they had only one regiment to cope with. General Sir Edward Paget sent to them, offering- if they would lay down their arms and give up their ringleaders, to forgive them-; they refused; a- signal of two guns was fired, and as fhey were forming line to meet our attack, a volley of grape and small arms was poured in on them by the guns and Royals : this from a quarter so totally unex- pected struck them with panic: they threw down their arms and fled into ajungle ; we pursued ; aud, in compliance with orders, were obliged to shoot every one we overtook. The carnage was dreadful; 400 to 500 of them must have fallen that morning ; 12 afterwards made prisoners were hanged; 600 had sentence of death commuted to hard labour on the roads. It was a severe bat requisite exercise of authority. Those who were condemned to hard labour on the roads have been pardoned. We are induced to give insertion to the following fragment of a private letter to a friend, from the close applicability of the sentiments it contains to tbe peculiar circumstances of recent events:— '' Whatever heav'n awards, obedient man Should humbly wait, nor challenge the decree. Live on the future prospects, not the past. Tho' storms arise, and my poor feeble hark Shakes with tbe tempest, yet the sun may shine, And favouring gales, aud skies serene and fair, Waft me to port. This sacred truth contest, That one unerring Providence resides O'er universal space, and man the care— Peculiar care of Him who made the world. Come, then, sweet resignation— calm— composed As slumbers of the just ; and what seems dark And intricate in our road below Will soon be solved. God's blessed will be done." " Where 1 have seen these lines I know not, but tliey are in my recollcction, and are so applicable to my circumstances, and so in unison with my feelings, that 1 cannot forbear to repeat them. **#*## " What a world of puzzles and perplexities ! One day our U Commerce is lost, past all recovery"— the next we regain it. Then our " Agriculture dies away, never again to live." It revives in renovated vigour. Our " Manufactures have forsaken us for ever." They quickly return lo their favourite Masters, and flourish beyond all precedent. Aye, but whilst these sinews of our strength and greatness are performing their functions with unexampled celerity, comes a death- blow to all Ihe parties concerned, in the " Insolvency of the Treasurer." Tbe Purse- bearer, Banker, or Money Merchant, has not sufficient iu his empty chest to pay the wages of the labourer, and Ihe circulating medium itself is nothing but a " bag of moonshine." How is all this— how do you account for this paradox— how comes it to pass, that the seeds of wealth and abundance, sown with so cautious and industrious a hand, should yield nothing but poverty and wnnl? Shall I answer my own question! ' Tis all a lie— an abominable and diabolical falsehood — the accursed work of 1 Change- AWey. Shut the doors of this national Gaming- house, Ihis great E. O. table, from whence issue daily a thousand lying spirits, going forth to deceive and to devour, and the evil would cease. But as long as Crokers and Brokers, Robbers and Jobbers, Bulls und Bears, and every beast aud bird of prev, are suffered to spoil with so important a part of our national concerns, so long shall the country bs subject to fits aud con- vulsions," * * * Our readers will, no doubt, have perceived, in the report published by the Liverpool and Manchesler Rail Road Committee, that this body have succeeded in inducing the Marquis of Stafford to withdraw his opposition lo this important measure. The com- mittee of the rail road have permitted the Most Noble Marquis of Stafford, to take for himself and hisi family one thousand shares in this public work; i if the outset of which, it was annuuncecl, that 110 one individual could hold more than ten shares. We sup- pose the next Committee of the House of Commons, on the rail road, will present a new and interesting spectacle; certain members iu Ihe interest of the Most Noble Marquis, wilh the whole anny of active and intelligent retainers, will have discovered, before the next Easier Holidays, Ihat the rail- way is ar " marvellously proper" thing, and Ihat the promoters of it are not " adventurers, who bolster up a bad case with worse w itnesses." The shares in Ihe rail road are now at a premium of £ 30; the process of con- viction, upon certain occasions, has been well de, scribed by Swifl, when he asked and answered < s question, thus :— What makes all things plain and clear ? Why, just three hundred pounds a- year. The committee of the rail- road have acted wisely! We recommend them to try ihe same experiment upon two other noblemen, who are opponents lo the measure. Seriously, we rejoice Ihat Ihere utnv ap- pears a very fair prospect for the success of this undertaking; and we presume ihe public will not fail to derive great advantage from Ihe increased facilities of communication which will he afforded, when the rail- road shall be completed — Liverpool Chronicle. CALCULATION or LONDON CONSUMPTION.— The fruils and vegetables consumed in Ihe metropolis are principally produced in the environs; and it is calculated that there ore upwards of 6000 acres of ground cultivated as gardens, within twelve miles of the metropolis, giving employment to ae » , noo .... in winter, and three times Ihat number in summer. Numerous calculations have been made, of the annual consumption of food in the metropolis; but this is not easily ascertained, as, although we may know the number of cattle and sheep, yet wc have no means of learning Ihe weight. Of the quantity of cattle sold in Smiihficld market, wc have the most accurate returns, and find, Ihat in Ihe year 1822, Ihe numbers were, 149,885 beasts, 24,609 calves, 1,507,096 sheep, ami 20,020 pigs. This does not, however, by any means, form the total consumed in London, as large quan- tities of meat in carcases, particularly pork, are daily brought from Ihe counties surrounding the metropolis. The total value of Ihe cattle sold in Smithfiehl, is calculated at £ 8,500,000; it is supposed that a million a year is expended in fruits and vegetables. The consumption of wheat- amounts to a million of quarters annually; of this, four- fifths are supposed lo be made into bread, being a consumption of 64 millions of quartern loaves every year in ihe metropolis alone. Until within the last few years, tbe price of bread was regulated by assize, and it may alfurd some idea of the. vast amtiunt . of money paid for the staff of life, when il is stated, Ihat an advance of one farlliing on the quartern loaf, formed an aggregate increase, in expense for this article alone, of upwards of £ 13,000 per week. The annual consumption of butler in London, amounts 10 about 11,000, and that of cheese lo 13,000 Ions. The money paid annually for milk, is supposed to amount to £ 1,250,000. The quantity of poultry annually consumed iu London, is supposed lo cost between 70 and £ 80,( 00. That of game de pends on the fruitfulness of Ihe season. There is nothing, however, more surprising than the sale of rabbits. One salesman in Leadenhall market, during a considerable portion of the year, is said to sell 14,000 rabbits weekly. The way in which he dis- poses of I hem is, hy employing between 150 anil 300 men and women, who hawk Ihem through the streets. —( Percy's London ).
