Any Person intending'to offer herself a Candidate for the Place, is desired to send Information thereof, with her Recommendations, to the SECRETARY, before Saturday, the Eleventh Day of February, in Order that the Directors may have Time to enquire into her Character and Qualifications.— The Salary is £ 30 per Annum. JOHN JONES, Secretary. At the Weekly Board, held this Day, IT WAS RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY, That the Interests of this Charity, as well as the Comforts of its Domestic Officers and Servants, are very materially implicated in the Choice of a Person well qualified to fill up the Vacancy in the Office of Matron. That it is highly desirable that none of the Trustees should engage their Votes prior to the Das of Election, when the Testimonials a. id Qualifications of the re- spective Candidates will be fairly investigated. That all such prior Engagements operate to the Discouragement of those who may We able to produce fhe most " ample and satisfactory Testimonials, but happen not to have any Personal Interest among the Trustees ; therefore, the Board of Directors beg Leave earnestly to press these important Considera- tions on the, Trustees at large. That these Resitl. uti. ons be annexed to the Advertise- ment announcing the Election of u Matron for this In fit mary. TO TIIE * sale0 top auction, THlijDAY.

The accounts from St. Petersburgh come up to the 4th instant, on which day all was quiet.— The cath of allegiance to Nicholas was taken with great solemnity at Moscow.

SIR,— I did not anticipate that I should have bad again occasion either to have trespassed on your columns', or to have obtruded myself on the . public attention, in the case of the Shelton Footway, or its barefaced Aggressor." I had imagined, from the natural temperament of the Editor of the Chronicle's disposition, that he would not quite so soon have re- covered frotn that laceration which appears to have wounded him so severely,—- that he would not quite so soon have arisen again from the 44 bed of roses" which \ had stretched him upon,— and, like the veiled Pro- phet of Kborassan, again have been the delineator of his own perversity. He must have forgot that ix Nature has made Man's breast no windows, To publish what he does within doors j Nor what dark secrets there inhabit, Unless his own rash folly blab it." You must have read the report of the'proceedings respecting the Shelton Foot way. in the Chronicle, as tated to have taken place at the Town Sessions on Friday and Tuesday last it has, no doubt, been read by others ; it has. also been read by myself,— read, not with that ineffable contempt which the fabrications of alumny ever merit, but with that degree of abhorrence which ought ever to arise, when we see " a man who", from the public situation which he fills, ought to be he guardian of fair and honourable conduct," and the " iffuser of moral and mental communication, descend- lg so low, and acting so pitifully, as to beconje ihe per verier of public truths, and the writer of low and contemptible scurrility. Even at the very thought My heart sinks in me, And ev'rv slacken'd fibre drops its hold, Like Nature letting down the springs of life. But there are men, Mr. Editor, to whom Nature has denied every spark of" genius or of moral sensibility. They bear the human form, and the operations of their ds move like the impulse of mechanical power; and, unfortunately, it not, onfrequently happens that, by the freaks of44 Mother Fortune," such persons are placed in' situations for which Nature never irrtended them. Such precisely seems to be the case with tlie Editor of the Shrewsbury Chronicle. How fie came to be the Editor of that or any other w vehicle of mental communication," lam at a loss to account for. Certain it is that the world is not so destitute of iterary men, as to make it necessary to place in the most conspicuous point of vTew the paucity of such a man's intellects,: unless it be that any tiling out of the common way gratifies the greedy curiosity of the pre- sent day. If so, some persons in Shropshire may feast on the wonders of the Shrewsbury Chronicle with as much pleasure as others may have glanced at its late visitant, Claude Ambroise Seurat— the Living Skeleton f '•;" But now for something more tangible,— an exposure of those discrepancies between the feigned proceed- ings as reported by Mr. Watton, and what actually occurred in Court, He says, " lie. wished it to be understood that he was merely the nominal defendant, and that he pleaded s Guilt'./'' agreeably to the advice of the Solicitor for the Road." What! a man who had dared and presumed unjustifiably to take a valuable public right away for his own private convenience, and that, too, from the mere fiat of a man whom his very journeyman or apprentice must have known had no more shadow of right to give than the veriest beggar- that loalked along the road,— for I will not, cannot believe, that the Parliamentary Commissioners would have done such a thing ; nor does the affidavit of the Hou. Gent. whose name is introduced in the Chronicle go to thatextent, but merely, to thebest of my recollec- tion, that Mr. Watton appiied to him respecting the footway, and that he referred him to their Surveyor, under whose direction he had no doubt acted. That, he had attended to the ad vice of his Solicitor in plead- ing 44 Guilty," there can be no doubt. In that, alone he has acted wisely. Iu that alone he has disap- pointed me ; for he has deprived me of the oppor- tunity 1 should- have bad in bringing forward that phalanx of respectable and astounding evidence which I had provided myself with, which would Have harrow'd up his soul. Made his two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, His knotty and combin'd locks to part, And each particular hair to stand on end Like quills upon the fretful Porcupine! He then introduces me as " a public spirited prose- cutor"— as 44 a person of much distinction"— and, consequently, as an individual solicitous for obtaining popularity. But if the Editor of the Chronicle thinks that the popularityfl aim at, is that mushroom popular- ity which is gained wit hout merit and lost without a crime, he is much, very much mistaken. In the language of Lord Mansfield, the popularity I aim at is of that kind which seeks a noble end by noble means-— a justification through the violated laws of my country. Already, in ra- y 44 mine's eye," do I see the trophy of my victory— already is the Triumphal Arch fchiseled out to immortalize the Conqueror ! tie then goes on to state, that 46 a Lawyer's Clerk named Wbailey got up," arid said 44 be had some affidavits," who was immediately stopped by the Deputy Record*!', who said he *( would be permitted • o file them." Will you for a moment believe, Sir, that that gentleman, while sitting in the sacred ad- ministration of public justice, would have acted so uncourteousfy— so unjust— to the 44 public- spirited prosecutor," as to prevent hint from stating his case? But I have once proved this man to bean author of falsehood^ by omission " I will take an opportunity in the concluding part of this letter to prove that he can with as equal facility travel through all the signs of the mendaculary zodiac, and that it. is not his inten- tion to stop even at the promulgation of direct untrdth. But still I pity him, from my soul I pity him,.— I pity him now,— I pitied \ i\ m in Court,— even you would have pitied him- then, if you had observed him ! for meagre were his looks.

Coroner, on view of the body of a young man named Edward Jones, a weaver, of the Castle Foregate, in this town.— It appeared from the testimony of James Jones, brother to the deceased, and others, that the deceased bad been iu a state of mental aber- ration for some weeks, being sometimes very low, and at other times violent, supposed to have originated from disappointment as to a female to whom he was attached. On Saturday night last, he had been at a public- house, and bad ' » iad some drink: he went home, and quarrelled with his mother, who went out of his way; his brother also went home, and finding him violent, also went out of the way, and told the circumstance to his father, who said it was better to keep out of his way: soon after this, the deceased was found banging from a rail which he had placed across the yard at the back of the house, having tied himself to it and thrown himself from a tub that stood near; when cut down, surgical assistance was unavailing.— Verdict, " lunacy " On Friday evening, the 6th instant,' Wm Hughe*, a schoolmaster, residing at W'core, in this count ,, called at the White Lion, Knighton, in a state of intoxication, from whence, after remaining there two or three hours, he set out for home about half past nine o'clock ; but, the evening being d- irk aud tempestuous, the unfortunate man missed his way. fell into a pit of water, and was drowned. The body was not discovered until Saturday. Many lives have been lost in various parts of the Empire in consequence of young gentlemen persisting to skait on pieces of water where the ice was not sufficieptly strong to bear. In numer- ous instances also, young persons have been saved by the exertions of those who have humanely afforded assistance to them, when in very perilous situations frotn the breaking of ice. Under such circumstances, the most determined efforts have been made to succour the distressed. Two parti- cular instances of this kind have occurred at Chester. In one of them, on Sunday week, a young man of the name of Parkinson had followed the course of the river in his skaits nearly up to Eaton, when the icc giving way, he fel! in. He was alone, but holding fast the ice by his arms, he made a pitiable outcry for help. Earl Grosvenor was walking near the river on his way to Eccleston Church, and his Lordship providentially heard him. He instantly gave the alarm to the domestics of his farm- house, who ran to the young man's assistance, and succeeded in dragging him from his dangerous situation. To CHEESE- TASTERS.— On Thursday, nt the Worcester House of Industry, a person ( not of that city) offered cheese for sale at 40s. per cwt. and one of the Directors was so well pleased with it, that 6 cwt. was ordered for the use of the House but after the order was given, the price appeared so low for cheese of such good quality, that th Director desired to have another taste; the dealer was about to give him a sample from the same side as before, but being desired to give a taste frotn the other side, it proved that the cheese was of a very inferior quality, and that the knavish dealer had inoculated it with a portion of fine old Che- shire! The order was of course countermanded. qprns SCHOOL win RE- OPEN Monday, January 30tb. on PRIVATES EDUCATION. THE Ilev. GEO." WARD, M. A.

SHREWSBURY, 24TH JANUARY, 1826. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, In the Chronicle of Friday last, Mr. Watton has thought proper to mention my name in a scurrilous manner, in alluding to the testimony which I gave before the Grand Jury relative to the Shelton Foot- way ; and I now beg to state, that my testimony then given was grounded on the opinion which I still hold, that a more unwarrantable encroachment on the public right I never knew, than has been committed by . Mr. Watton as to that footway. Tbe footpath which has been substituted has been carried along the most narrow and dangerous part of the road, and is iu itself so badly formed that it is impossible for any infirm person to pass along it in safety in wet weather. Such was the statement I made— a statement confirmed by the testimony of most, respectable persons — confirmed also by the unanimous assent of the Grand Jury, who well knew tbe old and the substituted footpaths ;— ond which statement no impartial person can contradict.

" So Cowards ever use their might, When against Valour plac'd to fight!" He then affirms, I stated that I had affidavits by different individuals, and among tbe rest, that of one person from w hom I neither said I had, nor had I, such an affidavit. But as to this I cannot feel sur- prised, when it is considered that the Editor of the Chronicle bad erected his Observatory so near the keyhole, and therefore probably unintentionally made this mistake hy looking through so false a medium ! He then proceeds to say, that my conduct, towards him is beneath contempt'. Why, then, allow it to make such ravages on his constitution,— so palpably to belie bis countenance,— to deprive him of every plensureof eating, drinking, sleeping., — every thing but thought, and that dread tyrant Conscience, which, at last, has stamped him Coward 1 But here, again, is " the unkindest cut of all." The Editor of the Shrewsbury Chronicle is proved to he the author of untruth as well " by omission" as " direct ,*" for he states, that the witnesses who de- posed before tbe Grand Jury were myself,'' — Price," " Ah. Pearson," and "— Hearn," when in fact no such persons as even Price or Hearn did go, or were ever requested to go before it; in fact 1 did not know that such an individual as the latter person was in existence. lie then starts forward on the interrogatory system, and says, ( t Had these men stated that the owner of the field was merely complying with the Commission- ers under the Holyhead Act, and that, instead of being a gainer, half an acre of land is visibly staked out to be taken from Aim— had the Grand Jury been aware of this, WOHM they not have rejected the Bill ?" What I does not this Nuncio of Ignorance, after so long an editorial service, know that u Grand Jury are bound by their oaths to judge " according lo th'e'' evidence," and tliat they have nothing to do with extraneous matter ? or does he mean to impeach ( by innuendo) their integrity? when he must be well aware they individually knew that, although it might, in the first instance, have originated from a desire of punishing this public delinquent, yet the Rubicon being passed, tbe ultimatum was tbe good of the country.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.— As a Mr. Mason, a traveller for Messrs. Chance and Co. of Birming- ham, was going into Cowbridge, Glamorganshire, on Wednesday last, in a gig, his horse took fright and ran off; when, shocking to relate, he was thrown out with his head against a post, placed at one extremity of the bridge leading into town, and was killed on the spot. An inquest held on the body has returned a verdict of Accidental Death. On the night of the I2th inst. as the sloop Cardigan, of Carmarthen, loaded with grain, con- signed to Worcester, was coming up the River Severn, when off Liduey Grounds, from being too early on the tide, she struck, and soon became a perfect wreck, her stern- post being driven out, and of course the whole cargo lost. The crew, consisting of the Master, John Anthony, and two others, were obliged to seek safety by clinging to parts of the wreck, as the small boat was store by getting foul of the bowsprit. The Master and one of the men fortunately clung to a part of the mast, and were carried by the tide nearly six miles up the river; when their cries were providentially heard by two men at Berkeley Pill, who pat off in a Iwtet to their assistance,- and happily rescued them ffi'ii) a fate which seemed in^ yitable, as their limbs wfefci so frozen and benumbed, from their having c'rnf- tinued nearly four hours in the water, in a very inclement night, that they could not have much longer retained their hold. The other man, Thomas Thomas, was unfortunately lost, and his body was found on the sands at PurtoB, on Saturday, and buried at Berkeley. d. 0 Flour, Fine, pnr sack of 2e.- 2q. 6lbs... 57 0 to 00 0 Seconds ditto 52 0 lo ( 10 0 Oats, Old, per 8 gall 2 10 to 3 3 LIVERPOOL. s. 00 7 S 4 7 d. s. 0 lo 00 0 to 7 3 to 8 3 to 4 9 to Wheat Barley Oats Malt Fine Flour 9s. 5s. 3s. 8s. 51s. fid.

Bullock, tbe celebrated milder, who calls himself the champion of England, stalled at'Warwick, ou Monday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, lo run ten miles within Ihe hour. The ground chosen was from SvNicholas's Church yard to Ihe Turnpike on tbe Banbury road, half a mile out and back again.

The spectators were very numerous, and seemed much gratified with thecxtraordinary'speedand agility of the pedestrian. Bullock is a little man, but remarkable for muscular power and activity. Last week, Mr. Brooker, of Burham, lost a most valuable mare, from the imprudence of bis man in giving the animal cold water uhilsl in a state of per- spiration, which produced instant inflammation, aud death in less than thirty hours. HONESTY— On Friday a gentleman was in Here ford, on tbe good obi errand of paying his Christinas bills, and whilst in a shop buying a pair of gloves, some notes which lie placetl on Ihe counter were wrapped up with a parcel of gloves which had been shown him, and neither the person who had served him, or the genlleman himself, were aware of the circumstance; soon after he missed lite notes, and afier making fruitless inquiries, gave them up as lost. On Monday, to his agreeable surprise, lie received a lei let- from Ibe good lady who hail furnished him with the gloves, inclosing bis notes, which bad sub seqnently been discovered by her, whilst serving another customer.

This modern Oidlcr of real life, who, as it is shrewdly suspected, officiated a few years ago in Cheltenham in some other capacity, has profited of late by the local advantages lie then obtained of the names and residences of some l- cspectable families in this vicinity, and has generally selected as bis victims in his late excur- sions, such gentlemen as be supposed likely to be acquainted with the circumstances of the. inhabitants and visitors of this town. To them he has repre- sented himself as a Mr. J. W. Tracey, the possessor ofa large house ( no less than the Vicarage 1) close to the Church of Prestbury, and also in the enjoy- ment of an annuity of £ 200 and upwards, and having, let his residence for six guineas a week, regularly paid into a Cheltenham Bank! In one instance, at Ilfracombe, lie so far overcame even the natural caution of a worthy and respectable gentleman, as to procure an invitation to become for a week or two an inmate of his housi— and rewarded the credulity of his host by borrowing £ 5, as he found consider- able inconvenience in the receipt of his remittances in an- out- of- the- way- post town. The uufortunat tailors and tradesmen in that town were likewise considerable sufferers. At Bristol and Bath he was still more fortunate in his money transactions. His affected intimacy with one of the most respectable and worthy inhabitants of Prestbury, proved a passport to success— he obtained merely on that assumed sanction the negoeiation ofa bill which lias since been of course dishonoured— the fata of another bill which he succeeded in turning to cash at Bath— where he made considerable spoil in the shape of clothes, gold watch, chain and seals, & c. From Bath he has had the effrontery to return to Cheltenham, but finding pursuit likely to become unpleasant, he decamped on Monday afternoon, leaving some trunks, boxes, & c. behind him. Mr. Tracey" is about5 feet 6 inches iu height; of sallow complexion; short dark hair, and whiskers some- what grey, and is about 48 or 50 years of age. He was last seen on the road to Tewkesbury and Wor- cester.— Cheltenham Chronicle. A great deal of interest has lately been excilcd by u paper read before the Royal. Socielv of Edinburgh, by Sir Wm.

LAW REMINISCENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.— The longest suit on record in England, is one which existed between the heirs of Sir Thomas Talbot, Viscount Lisle, and the heirs of a Lord Berkeley, respecting some property in the County of Gloucester, not far from Wotton- under- Edge.— It began at tbe end of the reign of Edward the Fourth, and was pending until the beginning of that of James the First, when it was finally compounded, being a period of not ISSB tbaa C.'. s huiidred sad twenty yearai!! We regret to notice that an important failure is stated to have taken place in Liverpool. The individual referred to has always been highly respected, and hitherto considered an opulent man ; but the late enormous depreciation iu mercantile property has been beyond what he could sustain.— Manchester Paper of Saturday. We understand, says tbe same paper, that many of the largest spinning concerns in this tow n and neighbourhood, as well as at some of the circum- jacent towns, in consequence of the very depressed condition of trade, have reduced their time of working to. not exceeding from four to five days a week. The same measure is in contemplation, we . believe, iu several other places. We are sorry lo announce a considerable failure in the cotton trade, at Liverpool ; the amount for which Ibe house has stopped is reported al £ 100,00( 1. We regret to find, Shut tbe general want of em- ployment which we seriously dreaded, as the" result of the immediate destruction of s > timeh of the circnlat. ing medium of tlie counfry( the consequent depreci. alien of properly, and the suspension of confidence and credit, is now realized to an extent beyond ivhat wc anticipated. At Dailington,- tAre third of the people are out of employment; at Norwich, 10,000- at Ilnddersfield there, is quite a sita'ghalron ; at Not- tingham and Leicester half tbe hands are unemployed. In the greatest part of the uVaiiufacItiring districts^ on an average, one half al least of the operative mechanics are out of . employment, not including such as are employed in the manufacture of hardware. The difficulties and embarrassment which wehavs already spoken of as being felt by oflr gloVe- manu- facturers, owing to the complete stoppage of all demand for their goods, now accumulated to im- mense quantities in their warehouses, we are sorry to say increase rather than diminish, and we under- stand so generally does the pressure operate that ' there is scarcely a house but will have to dismiss the greater propoition of their hands to- morrow, the result " of which must he, that added to the losses incurred by the principals, t icir workmen will be driven to the funds of their parishes for support, and, as a natural consequence'/ the community generally must share in the suffering. Tbe origin of this state of things is attributed,- and it would appear with great justice, to the measures adopted by Ministers last session, respecting the commercial- policy of the country, ii) which, amongst other pro- hibitions, those relating, to the importation offoreign gloves were removed, with a slight import dutv only, totally insufficient to have any weight, oV place the British manufacturer in a situation to com- pete, with any chance Of snocess, with his foreign rivals, possessed as they are of important advan- tages entirely out of his reach. The foreign article will be admitted on the 5th July, and aware of the cheapness with which it can be got up compared with the home commodity, the wholesale house* buy only of tha latter as their immediate wants may* require; hence the present glutted market; and ft is natural to suppose, when the period mentioned shall arrive, the d mand for British coods will com paratively cease altogether, and that that branch of ou' commerce will be sacrificed to otber nations. The trade, iu the hopes of averting the ruin which would he consequent upon this, intend, We hear, to petition the Legislature upon its' assembling, pointing oi. t their grievances, and as the city and county generally are obviously i . terested i the question, from the numberof hands which the manufacturers have been accustomed to supply with work, and whose employ- is now threatened with annihilation, by which' the parishes must become burtheued, it is trusted that their prayer and representations will be strength- ened by others from those sources.— Worcester Herald. THE RI3BON TRADE.— In consequence of tlis urgent representations made oftb » extreme distress prevailing in this city, among I he silk weavers, who have been thrown out of employment from appre- hensions entertained Of the impossibility of manu- facturing goods at a profit when foreign silks are admitted, Ministers still have the subject under consideration, and have proinis > d a definitive answer by the end of this week. Between 3000 and 4000 ' persons are out of employment here.— Coventry Mercury, Jan. 16. With reference to the same subject, the Coventry Herald says, " in addressing our readers, we are compelled to advert to the alarmiugiy distressed slate of the Ribbon trade; and we can only express ourselves in language of condolence and sympathy We are no alarmists; . we confess we are not apt to give ready credence to every tale of distress, or to attach much importance to every prognostic of evil aud by our friends we may have been deemed too sanguine in our hopes; but now the appalling truth is forced upon us irresistibly, and we are bound to declare, that fromasfate of prosperity, the trade has been suddenly reduced to one of almost unex- ampled depression. We see want where there wan plenty; prosperity has given place to distress, and ch set- fulness to despondency and gloom. This is no exaggerated assertion; it is but loo correct, for the thousands of unemployed weavers form a host of witnesses to attest its truth. This evil is too griev- ous aud extensive to continue, and some remedy must be devised. Did the people ofCoventry alone endure the ruinous consequences, they would be fully entitled to immediate relief, and the justice of their claim would not be denied; but when we find Spitalfields, Macclesfield, our neighbours at Nuneaton, Bedworth, Foleshill, and, in short, all places in which the silk manufacture is established, are equally involved, it will surely be deemed a sufficient object to induce the national interference, iu order to stay the demon of destruction in its career ! We perceive it is recommended by a cor- respondent, to call a public meeting of the iulubit- ants. of this city and its neighbourhood, to consider of the best means for obtaining relief; and with hint we fully concur. We think every mail should in this case make common cause with his neigh lour; for whatever opinion he may have as to the effect which the actual introduction of foreign wrought silks may have, stiil the trade is novv in a state re- quiring instant relief." STATE OF Tit tne IN AMERICA.— The New York American of the 15th tilt, contains the following re- marks addressed to the Editor of that Journal by a merchant. After alluding to the state of the money- market, he goes on :—' A few mouths go oar Hank freely discounted almost any thing in the s tape ofa note which I offered them, whether the time was at one, two, six, or, in some instances, seven, eight, and nine months. This facility for obtaining cash, aud the example of my neighbours, induced me to ex tend credit on sales at first to four and six, and when the standing of the purchaser would warrant it, to eight, nine, and even twelve months, under tbe per- suasion that my remittances could be made Up by an exchange of those notes for bills on Europ or bv an application for discount at our banks. If the latter, at times, hesitated to discount nine months' paper, the usual resort was to endorse, as a col- lateral security, the not- s which I held, and to give mv own notes at three or four months. This mode of transacti g business, as it appeared to be per- manent, induced a large extension of business and credits. You may judge how embarrassing is tha present state of affairs. Our banks now r fuse paper at a longer date than sixty days, and even then they require it to be of the most unexception- able character. The brokers demand one aud two per cent, per month, and even nine, for discount for good paper. Thus the usual channels and tnea. is of accommodation are closed, and t'te unsuspecting, but neither improvident nor speculating merchant finds his funds entirely unavailable; a. id while be has no fear of the credits he has given, he is com- pletely embarrassed by this novel, unexpected, ard unadvised measure of the banks. My own debts do not amount to one- fifth of what I a n worth, and I hold doabie the amount oftheni in paper oi'us cood a character as I could vvi- h, and of the regular pay- ment oi' which at maturity I have no doubt, yet it'u of longer date than sixty days, and is therefore not convertible into cash through the medium of our banks. This is a plain exposition of my own case and i think it is that also of one half the m Tea ttils men of the city. Under sueh circumstances, is it not incumbent on our moaied establishments to ea- deavoiir! » esfesrr « saents>'' SALOPIAN JOUBNAL, AM ® CXHJIU& R OF WAUEfi FOB THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL.

I perused with pleasure, in one of your fast Journals, a Quotation from tbe Monthly Magazine; and particularly the statement that Charcoal had been known as " the best ingredient in tbe founda- I tion of buildings erected in moist places" above 2500 years ago. Its use, as such, 1 can readily conceive, from its extreme indestructibility, its eager absorption of water, and its obstinate reten- tion of that liquid, forming with it an impenetrable solid. But its utter disuse in this country, as afterwards apprehended, is disproved by the fol- lowing circumstance. When the workmen em- ployed in forming a walk from the town to the New Gaol at Shrewsbury had levelled the slope, or glacis, which skirts the western wall of the Castle, they exposed to view a considerable part of the foundation, and pointed out to me, then acci- dentally passing by, a regular seam of charcoal, a few inches thick, extending the whole length. Its breadth, of course, beneath the building, could not be ascertained. But a foot or tvvo would cer- tainly be sufficient effectually to prevent all access from without of the three grand agents of vegetable decay, heat, moisture, and vital air. Analagous to this, and precisely cn tbe same principle, we now find it a sufficient security to confine the charring of stakes or posts to four or five inches above and below tbe surface of the ground, instead of, as formerly, extending it to the bottom.

Certainly not the people of small fortune, or the bulk of that com- munity, or the people of industrious and steady habits, who might have derived advantages from the facilities of accommodation, to the value of ten times what would have been lost by bank failures, taking the county at large. It was the great spe- culators, under the came" of merchants, and the great bankers who supported them, that were no doubt the cause of fhe exclusion. So that while thousands of those of the most industrious and economical habits remain in nearly the same state they were in twenty years ago as to property, a few individuals have been gaining their millions, a part of which would have been diffused amongst great numbers, had they always been able to obtain temporary accommodation in times of extreme depression in trade; and while, too, the enormous profits of the great speculators were, in a great measure, obtained by the assistance of accommoda- tions of credit upon a large scale, the man it humble life, though possessing real property at the same time, had not the means of obtaining them upon a small scale. There are times when the accommodation of ten pounds may lay tbe founda- tion of a large fortune. It must be the wish of every good patriot to see property, as equally as possible, diffused amongst the people generally, for this constitutes the strength of a state; while the extreme riches of a few, and extreme poverty of the many, are but proofs of national weakness. " It cannot be expected that accommodation for the people at large can be obtained, unless i'buntry Bankers are permitted to issue their own Notes But it is equally obvious from recent events, that a measure of greater safety is highly necessary, as it regards such Notes, as well as for tuose who issue them, than has hitherto been in [ w^ ctice.

Sin, A short time ago, a gentleman of this town put into my hands the two following early English Coins, which were found near Aberdo. vey, request ing a description of them; and at his request 1 now submit it to your readers:— HENRI€' X DIX GRA' X EEX>:.

[ For the Salopian Journal J It may be proper here to observe, that from the time of Athelstan, with some few exceptions, the name of the town was generally added on the reverse:— probably in conformity to his law, that the money should be coined within some town. I am perfectly sensible of the difficulty in distin- guishing betwixt the Coius of Henry 4th, 5tli, and 6th, which induced It tiding, in his Annals of fhe Coinage, to assert, " that the silver coinage of Henry 4th cannot now be distinguished from the money of Henry 5th." I beg, however,, with deference to the opinion of several eminent Medal- lists, to suggest the following circumstance, which may possibly shew that the first coin described above is a groat of Henry 4th. The title of King of France was first assumed on our coins by Edward 3d, in 1336,— renounced by him in 1360,— resumed 1369,— and continued by the successive Monarchs until the reign of Henry 5th, when it was altered to Heir of France. The inscription on the first coin is similar to that described by a writer in the last Shrewsbury Chronicle, signing " W. D." who endeavours to prove that it belongs to the 5th Henry; but this King, as well as Henry 4th, had no certain coins but Anglo Gallic;— indeed, Ending himself men- tions that the cross crosslet teas the mini mark cf Henry 4th, and as the above coin bears this mark; I feel convinced that it is a groat of Henry 4th. If any of your readers ean furnish, through the medium of your valuable Journal, any further in- formation which may lead to a more certain method of distinguishing the monies of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Henries, 1 shall, with others, be greatly obliged. Having adverted to the coinage of Edward 3d, I think it uot inapt to mention a groat of that Monarch now in my possession, which was found near tbe ancient country mansion of the Beringtons — the Moat Hall, in this county.

Then, says Rnding, " the only differ- ence between his ( Hen. 3d) earlier and later coinages is, that, in the former tlie cross is bounded by tbe inner circle, and tias- four pellets, whilst in tbe latter it extends lo the outer circle, and tlie number of pellets is reduced' to three. The cross under Ibis form kept entire possession of the Coins until Henry 7tli introduced Itcraldiek bearings." suffereis, no doubt many Bankers have been great sufferers too, and some of them, if is said, through the very unfair dealings of other Bankers. A mea- sure is wanting to prevent sudden runs upon Country Banks, and to render them less dependant upon the London Banks. Large Stock Companies as in Scotland have been spoken of as a means of safety, but these would require an alteration in the Law of the land, which might not be easily ob- tained. Others have suggested the plan of lodging securities with Government to the amount of Notes put into circulation, but these securities would not be available on any sudden emergency, aud would not prevent runs upon those who gave them; they might be a means of safety to those who took the Notes, but not to those who issued them, and the safety of both should be reciprocal. If satisfactory securities of bonds, or deeds, were lodged with th • authorities of the Counties, and ext - naive aud respectable declarations were obtained, that the subscribers would at al! time^ and upon all occasions take the small Notes iu payment, that were put in circulation by Bankers who had given security to the amount of them, and that they would u'Jron ail occasions endeavour to prevent runs upon such I: ankers, it might be a matter of safety to both parties, it might have the full effect of producing confidence ia the public, and render Banking more easy and secure. Country Bankers should for themselves hit upon a measure of avoiding large deposits in the l auds of their London Agents or Bankers; these deposits are a risk, and it is now obvious' are not always available for sudden and unexpected calls. Most likely the time is near at hand when Bankers will not think it necessary to provide for the acceptance ill London of the Bills they draw, but that it shall be considered a3 suffi- cient in point of credit to provide for the payment of their Bills when due. In point of law an accept- ance is not required for an inland bill of exchange, and in general it is not at ail necessary for the securi- ty ofthe holder ; it cannot be necessary if the drawer and endorsers are good, and if the drawer is not good, it is ten to- one it does not obtain acceptance ; but these acceptances are useful to the good people of London, for after they have been obtained they may be generally turned into Cash by discount at the Bank of England I in the Country, bills of exchange are discounted solely upou the credit of drawer and endorsers."

JOSHUA MARSDEN. SALOP, JAN. 16. • " Is not my Word a fire?"— BIBLE. A Correspondent of the Staffordshire Advertiser makes the following- observations on this subject " The late Bank panic having ceased, or at least suspended its malignant influences, it may be well to give a few dispassionate considerations to the subject. " Aft er a destroying- and wide- spread storm has spent its shafts, we attend little to the history of its commencement; the exact time aud place may be generally unknown, while the effects of it engage our deep- felt commiserations : so it is of little import now as to where or with whom the bank panic began. Of this, however, we may rest as- sured, namely, that as it was not owing to any real depression in the national wealth or resources, it must have had its origin in some scheme of wicked avarice, or extreme malevolence; and all who have the common feelings of philanthropy or patriotism, will endeavour to avert the evils of a repetition, or continuance of such panic. " A writer for the Staffordshire Advertiser very properly, as J think, recommends confidence in country banks issuing their own small notes, where that confidence ean be safely placed. I would beg, too, to recommend confidence and friendly co- operation amongst bankers themselves; for there has, no doubt, been a palpable want of them on the late occasion. As for declamations against the whole system of country banks and local notes, I hold them to be foolish as well as mischievous. A great part of the commercial world is supported by credit and paper money: a bill of exchano- e is nothing more in any instance, than a representation of real property; and if the great world are to have the advantage of paper accommodations, why should not the little world have them too, as far as real property will warrant them? No doubt those who have commercial transactions upon a lar « - e scale, who have great riches or extensive credit are adverse to a system which is adapted to the wants of people of small fortune. It is exulting] y said, that Lancashire has been cjuite exe mpted from the evils of the late alarm, for local notes have not circulated in that county. But who have had the ness of disposition added social talents, which, if not of the high and commanding' order of his father's, were infinitely more agreeable to those who knew him,) used to telia^ story for and'' against hi nisei f, which, at this season, when story telling- is quite admissible, we shall take leave to relate. He was staying at poor Eord Craven's, at Senham, ( or rather Hampstead) anrS one day proceeded on a shooting, excursion, like Hawthorn, with only " his doj£ and his gun," on foot, and unattended by com- panion or keeper ; the sport was bad— the birds few and shy— and he walked and walked in search of game until unconsciously he entered the domain of some neighbouring squire. A very short time after, he perceived advancing towards him, at the top of his speed, a jolly comfort- able looking gentleman, followed by a servant, armed, as it appeared, for conflict—- Tom took op a position and waited the approach of the enemy " Hallo! you Sir," said t'he Squire, when within half- ear shot, 44 what are you doing here Sir, eh? u I'm shooting, Sir," said Com. " Do you know where you are, Sir?" said the Squire. " I'm here, Sir," said Tom. u Here, Sir," said the Squire, growing angry, 4< and do you know where here, Sir?—- these, Sir, are iny manors ; what d'ye think of that Sir, eh ?'* " Why, Sir, as to your manners," said Tom,^ " I can't say they seem1 over agreeable." "' I don't want any jokes, Sir," said the Squire, " I hate jokes. Who are you, Sir— what are you !" " Why, Sir," said Tom, " my name is Sheridan— I am staying al Lord Craven's-— 1 have come out for some sport— I have not had any, and i am not aware that S am trespassing," " Sheridan !" said the Squire, cooling a little, " oh, from Lord Craven's, eh ?—' well, Sir, I could not know that, Sir— I—" " No, Sir," said Tom, £ t but you need uot have been in a passion." " Not in a passion! Mr, Sheridan," said the Squire, you don't know, Sir, what these preserves have cost me, and the pains and trouble I have been at with them ; its all very well for you to talk, but if you were in my place I should like to know what you would say upon such an occasion." " Why, Sir," said Tom, " if ! were in your place, under all the circumstances 1 should say— 1 am con- vinced, M r. Sheridan, you did uot mean to annoy me, and as you look a good deal tired, perhaps you'll come up to my house and lake some refreshment ?" The Squire was hit hard by this nonchalance, and ( as the newspapers say) " it is needless to add," acted upon Sheridan's suggestion— " So far," said poor Tom, " the story tells FOR me — now you shall hear the sequel"— After having regaled himself at the Squire's house, and having said five hundred more good things than he swallowed; having delighted his host, and more than half won the hearts of his wife and daughters, the sportsman proceeded on his returirhomewards. hi the course of his walk he passed through a farm- yard : iu the front of the farm- house was a green, in ihe centre of which was a pond— in the pond were ducks innumerable swimming and diving; on its ver- dant banks, a motley groupe of gallant cocks and pert partlcts, picking and feeding— the farmer was leaning over the hatch of the bast), which stood near two cottages on the side of the green. Tom hated to go back with an empty bag; and having failed in his attempts at higher game, it struck him a9 a good joke to ridicule the exploits of the day himself, in order to prevent any one else from doing it for him, and he thought that to carry home a certain number of the domestic inhabitants of the pond, and its vicinity, would Serve the purpose admirably. Ac- cordingly, up he goes to the farmer and accosts him very civilly— 1 calicoes; the second in making figured stuffs; and the third, set up as a five- fourth machine, two pieces of half ell- wide, each divided by a separate shuttle. All the accessorie are applicable to these looms, and are set in motion by the hand, by alternately pushing the clapper, which is on wheels, and works horizontally. It' receives its motion from a pully, with a twisted leather strap, and two springs placed at each side of the loom. It is capable of being applied to an infinite variety of purposes. When it is wished to make a strong stufi"^ such as ticken, or thick- grained cloth, the clapper strikes the woof twice each time it passes. In proportion as it is wished that the stuff should be open or close, slight or strong, the clapper strikes slightly or heavily, slowly or quickly, and the precise strength is con- trolled by a regulator. A hand- screw and a small mallet suffice to operate these chang- es. The shut- tle, placed in boxes, which it does not quit exccpt by the impulse of the workman, passes in tbe chain from SO to 110 times in a minute, from the time the machine is set in motion. Another advantage is, that the shuttle has a twofold operation, of a nature hitherto totally unknown, so that it can be varied without trouble or delay, according to the unequal strength cf the zones and the stuff; and notwith- standing the extreme velocity of both clapper and shuttle, the loom can be stopped at wiil without injury. While the parts stop which serves to fabricate one of the pieces in a loom arranged for 6- 4, those ofthe second stop also. This is an incon- venience which M. Augustin Coront will in time be enabled to obviate, by making each piece of me- chanism of a texture independent ofthe other ; but these short intervals are made up for by the rapidity of the simultaneous execution of two pieces. This is nothing compared to the time lost by the work- men in common looms in disentangling and tying the threads. The application of t^ is invention to the fabrication of muslins and tissues of flax, cotton, and hemp, proves that it is as favourable to the health of " the workmen as it is to the interests of commerce. In fact, the excessive fineness of its parts, each wheel being perfect, will admit of the employment of flax, hemp, aud cotton thread quite dry, and it will consequently be no longer necessary to work them in low and damp situations, for the purpose of softening them. The workmen,- in quitting the manufactories, which' might almost be called ca- verns, where they are interred alive, will no longer labour lander isitluesces which stint their growth, and subject them to asthmatic and scrofulous affec- tions. They ought to be as grateful to M. Augustus Coront for his invention, as the manufacturers of needles are to Mr. George Prior, who, in 1809, invented a very simple apparatus, composed of a variety of bellows, which blow away from the mould the particles of free- stone and steel, which fly off in the process of cleaning, and which, before this invention, from their rotatory motion, flew into the eyes, nostrils, and mouths of the workmen, and were the cause of serious disorders. While ob- serving upon the injurious action of the small particles which escape in the process of certain manipulations, we may, perhaps, be allowed; to direct the attention of the scientific to the best means to be employed for the prevention of the injurious effects which arise from the silk dust produced in the cutting of shawls.— Macclesfield Herald i$ ti0£* U4! n* 0U0 SntelHg^ nc^ • My good friend," says Tom, " I'll make you an offer—" " Of what, Sur?" says the farmer.

Watson and Moyser, near Sutton- on- Berwent, about seven miles from York, were discovered to be on fire, and soon presented to the affrighted spectators one complete body of devouring fiatnes. The particulars are as follows:— A countryman riding past the mills, at the time mentioned, saw a great light in the build- ing, and informed a boy of the circumstance, resid- ing at Mr. Moyser's house, about one hundred yards from the premises. The men had left the mills, apparently safe, about seven o'clock, and providentially Mr. Moyser was at home. Every effort was made to rescue the books, whilst the countryman rode up and down the adjoining vil- lage, crying " Fire," and directing the people to the fatal spot; there they soon assembled in great numbers; but there being no fire- engine nearer than York, all that could be done was to rescue the corn, flour, & c. of which there were on the premises to the value of £ 7000. By great efforts about £ 1000 worth of the property was saved, the re- mainder, with the buildings was sacrificed to the fury of the devouring element, which, in little more than two hours, produced this lamentable effect. We understand that the premises were the proper- ty of Sir T. Clarges, but that the tenants have lease thereof, and the buildings were insured for £ 4000, and the stock for £ 3000.-^ York Courant. A Court of luquiry was held at Lewes on the 20th ult. to assess damages in a cause Charlet - v. Turner, for defamation, by insinuating the plain tiff would be bankrupt. The parties are butchers, and resided at Bognor. It appeared the transaction took place last September, and that the report having reached the ears of the Earl of Ar^ an ( then at Bognor), be came forward in the most noble manner, and told the plaintiff that he would, if it was necessary, assist him with from £ 5 to £ 500. The plaintiff, hoping that such a step would not be necessary, trusted to his own resources, until the week following, at Chichester market, he was told by the graziers that unless there was ready money there were no cattle to be had: it then became necessary to apply to the noble Earl, who advanced sums of £ 50, £ 70, £ 100, and a worthy man in the same business with the plaintiff also offered liberal assistance to an extent of £ 200 or £ 300.— Damage's £ 350. A melancholy accident occurred at Isleworth on Tuesday week. The only son of Mr. and Mrs. Legren, about eighteen years of age, went in the chariot with his mother and two young Ladies to the canal, in Osterley Park, to skate. He had not been on the ice ten minutes before it broke, and he fell in under it and perished in the sight of his distracted mother : his body was not found till the next day. To add to the mental exacerbation of the airlifted parents, they lost about a year since their only daughter, about Ihe age of 16. The alarm in the silk trade is still excessive. The applications for relief from the poor rates, this week, were extraordinarily numerous ; and we are informed that at the present moment 3000 persons are out of employ in this city alone. Accounts from other silk districts arc equally distressing,— Coventry Mercury It is stated, that the Duke of Northumberland, after examiniug the line of the inteuded Railway from Newcastle to Carlisle, has signified his cordial assent. It is a curious circumstance that five gentlemen are stiiil living, who took their degrees at this University 60 years since, in the same year ( 1766), and were all Fellows of Trinity College. They are-— Baron Gra- ham, Mr. Clowes of Manchester, Colonel Creyk of Yorkshire, Mr. Norris, Prebendary of Canterbury, and Dr. Allot t, Dean of Rapboe.— Cambridge Paper. The Gazette of Saturday contains a dispatch from Brigadier Gen. Morrison to the Governor General of India, announcing the occupation of the island of Ramree, and of Sandovvey on the Main, from both of which places the enemy bad retreated without waiting- attack. The Burman forces are thus expelled from the Arracan territory ; and the four provinces of Chedaha, Ramree, Arracan, and Sandovvey become subject to the British Government. Thursday week was the day appointed for carrying into execution the Aet for assimilating^ and doing away all difference between the English and Irish cur- rency. The measure is, therefore, now iu full opera- tion. It may, in the first instance, cause some little confusion in Ireland ; but as every thing in that coun try has been latterly bought and sold at the English value, it will afford a greater facility and certainty of account, particularly in the provinces. The exchange between the Sister Countries has for many years been perfectly unnecessary ; it caused much trouble to the visitors of either, and was convenient only to money- brokers, to whom it produced no inconsiderable share of profit. Jt appears from some ofneia! documents which have been published in the Bristol Journal, that the differences between the Corporation of that city and the Chamber of Commerce having, in the course of their inquiries, forcibly attracted the attention of the Parliamentary Commissioners, the Chairman, JVfr. Wallace, offered to mediate between the parties, in order to . settle those unhappy aud injurious divisions : and it being thought that the establishment of a ehan nel of free communication between the Corporation, the Society of Merchants, and the Chamber of Com- merce, by the appointment of a Committee from each Body, would, in all probability, have the effect o . extinguishing'al! discord between those Bodies, the measure was acceded to by the Merchants and the Chamber : bnt the Corporation met the whole pro- posal by a declaration, that " it could not but antici- pate insuperable difficulties in applying the principle of the negociation and arrangement to the settlement of differences which wholly consist of hostile aggres- sions, on the one hand, upon the revenue and consti- tutional government of^ the Corporation; and, on the other, of the necessary defence and maintenance of rights, established by the enjoyment and usage of centuries." t On Wednesday last, Mr. Topham, of Eltham, his nepliew, and another gentleman were shooting pigeons from a trap, the nephew was in the act of opening the cage, when a pigeon escaped, and the uncle discharg- ing his piece before the nephew was out of danger,, lodged the contents in his head ; the deceased instantly cried out, " Oh! my dear uncle, you have killed me." He died two hours after. THE HALNABY ESTATE.— Lady Dorothy Milbank was the favourite of Mary Queen of Scots, but got into disgrace on the affair of the murder of David Siizzio, in which her husband was concerned. She soon afterwards fled, and sold gingerbread upon the bridge of Berwick- upon- Tweed ; by which, and the additional bounty of her customers, she actually saved £ 800, with which she purchased the Halnaby estate, in this county, now in the Milbauk family ; and with the proceeds of the rent ( for she lived very sparingly, dying at the age of eighty- three) she purchased the estates in Durham and Northumberland, the rental of which, a few years agoj was £ 12,000 per annum,— Leeds Intelligencer. At the Wilts Quarter Sessions, Wm. Washington, an American, charged with passing counterfeit c at Kingsdown fair, was sentenced to 12 months' hard labour, and to find sureties for his good behaviour for two years. The unparalleled impudence of the prisoner astonished both the Court and the spectators. Before Mrs. Gale ( thewitness to whom he had passed some ofthe coin) had spoken a dozen words, the prisoner, addressing the Court, said, " If you let her goon, she wili swear that a grey horse is a chandler's shop, and that every hair on its head is a pound of candies. Come," said he to the witness, " I'll take you in hand myself. You say you knew me by my general ap pearance; now that's a rig yon have been put up to by a parcel of rascally lawyers and counsellors, for you have no more wit in your own head than a barber's block. Now have I got Hie same features on 1 had then? Was my beard shaven ? Is this the same hat I wore? What sort of an eye have I? What colour is my skin ?"— When called on to know what he had to say in his defence, " What is the use of saying any thing while you let these fellows, ( alluding to the counsellors) open their rattles upon me like so many race- horses kicking against a mile- stone? I am, like a navigator's dog, without house, home, or habitation." At this time Mrs. Gale was seized with faint ness, and compelled to leave the Court. " There," said he, " see how her conscience pricks her; she knows she has sworn falsely." To one of the jurymen, whose observations on their conferring together seemed to govern the others, " You," said he, " ought to have had your brains knocked out before you entered the box." The trial of William Henry Ellis ( clerk to Mrs. Newman of Exeter), whose apprehension on a charge of robbing his mistress to a very considerable amount, has been already stated, came on at the Quarter Sessions for that city on Monday last. The case excited extraordinary interest, and the Court was crowded to excess. The prisoner, who is 33 years of age, and with respectable exterior, was first indicted, as the clerk, and servant of Susan Newman, with having, on the 6th of September last, embezzled a sixpence, her property. A mass of evidence was produced in support of this char but tbe substance of it may be stated in few words, It appeared that Ellis entered into the service of Mr, Newman, about the year 1811, in the first instance, as a person to teach the children to write, and after- wards as a permanent servant, in which capacity he remained up to September last, a period of between 14 and 15 years; in 1822, Mr. Newman died, leaving a family of. nine children, the youngest an infant of a few months old. The business was, however, eoutinued by the widow, and the greatest confidence had all along been placed in the prisoner— in fact, he had the whole management of the books and ac- counts, and was looked upon as a principal person Suspicions of his integrity, however, were at length excited, and in order to prove whether they wen well founded, the son of the prosecutrix, on the day above mentioned, placed a sixpence, which had been previously marked, in the till. The prisoner soon after came, into the shop, and was observed to go and inspect the contents of the till. He was taken into custody, and the marked sixpence, and other coin, were found upon him.— The jury havin: heard the whole of the evidence, retired for a few minutes, when they returned a verdict of" guilty of embezzling the 6d. with intent to defraud."—- The prisoner was then arraigned for stealing Is. the property of Mrs.. Newman. Several witnesses were examined in support of this charge; after which, Ellis being called upon for his defence, read a written paper, in which he complained of the hard- ships he had undergone since his apprehension— asserted that, owing to misrepresentations in the newspapers, he had not met with an impartial trial, and concluded by strongly declaring his innocence. He was, however, again found guilty, and the Chairman sentenced him, for the first offence, to be imprisoned one month, and for the second to be transported for 14 years. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of owners and occupiers of land within the county of Dorset, was held at the Town Hall, Blandford, on Monday, the 9th instant, Jas. J. Farquharson, Esq. in the Chair. Sir J. W. Smith, Bart, addressed the Meeting ; and after stating as his firm and unbiassed conviction, that, iii the prosperity and security of the landed interest were involved Ihe prosperity aud security of the community at large,- read some resolu- tions, and a petition lo Pailiament against the intro- duction of foreign corn, 011 payment of a protecting duty. The resolutions and petitions having been seconded by the Rev. H. F. Yealnian, in a speech of considerable length, were unanimously adopted. It was then resolved, that a Society be formed in Ihe county of Dorset, for the protection of Agriculture, and that J. J. Farquliarson, Esq. be President. Among Ihe numerous company present, were nearly 200 agriculturists ofthe first respectability. UEOUGE THE FIRST.— When George the First succeeded to the throne of England, he brought over with him from Hanover bis cook, to whom lie was extremely partial.— Afler some stay at St, James's, ( he cook grew melancholy, and wanted to leave to return home lo Hanover. The King being informed of this, desired to see him ; and when the cook camc into his presence, he asked him why he wished to leave bis service. The cook replied, I have long served your Majesty with diligence and honesty, and never suffered any of your property to be embezzled in your kitchen ; but here the dishes no sooner come from the table, than one steals a fowl, another a pig, a third takes a joint of meat, a fourth a pie, and so on, lill the whole is gone, anil I cannot bear to see your Ma- jesty so injured." The King laughed heartily, and said, l£ My revenues here arc sufficient to enable me lo bear these things, and therefore, ( » reconcile you to your place, do vou steal ns well as ( he rest, and mind that you take enough" The cook followed his master's advice, and iu a short time became more expert than his fellow servants. NOVFX WAGER.— At the table of a celebrated sportsman 111 the vicinity of Sunning, Berks, a few days since, the conversation happening to turn on the docility of the brute creation, the worthy host offered a wager, which was immediately accepted, that his favourite hunter would, at his request, quit his quarters in the stable, and follow him into the dining room. He forthwith went to the stable, disencumbered the animal of the head- stall, which confined him to his post at the manger, and return ed to the company closely attended by his quadru- ped friend. Not contented with this display, ho proceeded to his bed- room, whither also he was fol- lowed by the horse, whose docility was the thems of every tongue, and the object of universal admir- ation. Here, however, the proofs of his obedient disposition ended, for neither entreaty nor force could prevail upon him to descend the stairs, and ill the bed- room he insisted on passing the night, tn the morning he manifested the same determin- ation not to retrace his steps, and after all means of entreaty and intimidation had been ia vain resorted to, hvs master was compelled to have a breach made iu the wall, through which this docile steed was forced to leap upon the ground, where a load of straw had been placed to receive him. The descent was accomplished with safety, but owing?- to the trouble and expense occasioned by the visit, it is not expected that the horse will be iuvited beyond the parlour in future. Died, on tbe lst of January instant, Mr. John Bell, teacher of languages, aged 32 years, much and justly regretted. He was a man who, for the extent of his knowledge in ancient, modern, and especially Eastern literature, was an ornament to the city and the University of Glasgow. He wa « acquainted with the Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Saxon, Teutonic, Gothic, Icelandic, Portuguese, Arabic, Persic, Chaldaic, Sanscrit, Hindostswiee, Bengalee, and several other languages ; and he possessed such » critical knowledge of many of them, as not only to relish their beauties, but even to enter into the merits of the critics who have professed to write grammars and lexicons of those languages, and to publish editions of works written 011 them. He was the redoubted antagonist of the celebrated Dr. Lee, Professor of Arabic iu the University of Ox- ford ; and so powerful were his criticisms that the learned Professor found it necessary to reply to them, once and again, in the Asiatic Journal. But, alas! he is no more; and Dr. Lee may, perhaps, learn the death of his unknown an- tagonist with feelings similar to those which Dr. Johnson ascribes to Scaliger respecting Erasmus, when he complained that his rival was snatched away before their reconciliation was completed : " Tu ne etiam morcris ? Ah .' quid me Unguis, Erasme, ante meus quam sit conciliatus amor."— Glasgow Chronicle. John Allum, workhouse- master of Holy Trinity parish, Cambridge, Nwa9 discharged no Thursday last for various acts of cruelly to inmates, particularly to an idiot, whom be had frequently confined in nn out- house nearly naked. An alarming fire brokeont at Uppingham between eleven and twelve 011 Monday night, in the stable of Mr. Wright, of lhat place, which was entirely consum- ed, and, 111 add to liie misforlune, six valuable bor » es were burnt lo death. The accident was occasioned by some live ashes having been thrown upon a dung- hill close to the stable, by which some loose straw was guited. Fortunately, timely assistance was at Iniiitl^ and ( he fire was confined to the building in which it originated. CAUTION.— It may be necessary to inform all persons purchasing shares in any speculation or undertaking, that no such shares can be. legally transferred, until the original subscriber has paid up all the instalments on the same. It has been a prevailing- practice for shares to be sold at a pre- mium by the original subscriber previous to any instalment being paid, aud such shares have been so transferred without a stamp. The vendor of such shares is liable to a very heavy penalty, be- sides being obliged to refund any sum paid for the said shares, whenever demanded by the holder. Many persons, to the writer's knowledge, have thus purchased shares in canals, rail- roads, mines, & c. not aware of the penalties to which the partiea are subjected,— being a prudent regulation to pre- vent those frauds which are continually practised on the unwary. LIBERTY IN AMERICA.— The Charleston Courier oi" the 2d ult. contains the following humane and interesting advertisement: " NEGRO TRADESMEN FOR SALE.— The sub- scriber, ill consequence of not being able to procure oak bark in quantities sufficient, has determined to discontinue the tanning and manufacturing- of leather, and offers for sale the following Negroes, viz. four tanners, one currier, and seven shoe- makers; also one cast- iron bark mill." But lhat worthy son of freedom, Mr, Toomer ( an ardent Republican, no doubt!) deals on a more large and liberal scale. He offers to the public — " Eighty- six Negroes, as prime as ever were offered for sale.— Among them six or eight com- plete carpenters, coopers, & c.
