The North Sea has again broken through in those places of Ihe isthmus which connect tlie northern extremity of Jutland with flic rest of the Peninsula. Three rapid currents now unite the ] N oth Sea with Ihe Gulf Lum Fiord, which falls into Ibe Caltegat, The streams are so rapid that they eannul be crossed by boals, and four persons who made llie attempt perished. The sea liaj opened' to vi'evy some ancient forests.— Courier Francois. According lo intelligence from Ibe different pari, of Russia, the public opinion ia strongly pronounced in favour of the Greeks. At ibe celebration of Ihe last fele of St. Alexander Newsky, it is said, that at the moment when, the Archimandrite, a' Prelate upwards of an hundred years old, was going to pronounce Ilia benediction, he fixed his eyes upon ihe Emperor Alexander, who was present, and lifting up his hanit towards the cross, exclaimed in a lone of reproach :—. " Ilis trodden underfoot by infidels, and finds no avengers." These words seemed deeply lo affect Alexander; they produced an astonishing effect upon the auditory, and were repeated throughout the empire. Il was a few days after this that Ihe Emperor set out on his jburney.— Oalignani's Messeng. r. The letters from Liverpool mention the latjn're of Mr John Gtiruetl, an eminent merchant of thai town. A large proportion of his transactions were in cotton, and he held a great quantity of Egyptian cotton, purchased at near 22d. perlb. but which cannot, iii the present stale of the market, be sold fur mure than 8d. per Ih.. THE IRON TRADE— The iron trade has been, perhaps, more slightly affected by Ibe recent panic and sudden contraction of paper currency, than any oilier branch of Irade or manufacture in this coutilry. Fhe only inconvenience suffered'. Iras been felt by hose individuals who have extended their works, on tbe supposition that the credit granted by banks could be continued indefinitely. The number of persons so circumstanced was small, aud the distress accruing in this district, of course, inconsiderable. A reference fo prices, in support of such an opinion, is the Iea3t objectionable argument iu favour of ii. In November a large meeiing was held al Wolverhamp- ton, al which il was resolved, that iron should lie ilvanced 10s. per ton-. This advance was suspended during the panic, and sales to some amount were effected at lower prices, because the iron- masters were, of course, not wholly exempt from Ihe distress so universally prevalent. But at a meeting held at the same place last week, it was proposed to advance* £ 1 per ton; this was negatived, and an amendment carried, that the former advance of 10s should lie* affirmed. IS' o. I, melting pigs, aie advanced 10s. per ton. The demand in Birmingham aud ibe neigh- bouring districts lias suffered no sensible decline, if regard be hail, as it surely ought, lo the'season of lb* year, and a proper comparison be instituted between this period of the present and a similar otae of past years. A' considerable export trade lakes place at the present prices, and uo large'stocks have accumulated y but iron stone has fallen in price 15 per cent, and the make uf iron will be increased before Midsu ninVc next a 12th or 1* 4III part of the whole by the British Iron Company, and other new works iu pi- ogres* towards completion, ft is not easy lo offer any decided opinion as to the continuance of present prices. M uch must depend on the slate of the money market here, and on the Confincnl; but if Ihe favourable change lately begun continue fill con- fidence is fully restored, no reason appears why the present prices should not continue for some lime at least — Birmingham Gazette.

ACCIDENTS.— On Thursday last, two boys, sons of a respectable apothecary, of this town, were playing in the shop, when one of them took up a loaded g- un, the contents of which instantly exploded, and lace- rated the cheek of his brother in a dangerous man- ner.— Ou Wednesday, an inquest was held at Bridg- north, before . lames Milner, Gent. Coroner,; on view ofthe body of Benjamin Cureto^), gardener, aged 20, who was killed in consequence of the unexpected and accidental discharge of a gun which he bad loaded w ith the intention of shooting the birds that infested his father's garden. Verdict " Accidental death "-— The gun was borrowed from a gunsmith, and was in a very bad and unsafe state when lent out; for which the gunsmith received a severe and suitable reprimand from the Coroner, and was also amerced. As the waggoner, who was with a load of coals, was in the act of locking the wheels ofthe waggon, at the to* p of the Quarry Bank, in this town, ou Saturday last, the horse, started; the man was thrown under the waggon, but providentially es- caped without injury; and the waggon was hurried down the steep hill, ran over the horses ( one of which was much injured), and broke the shafts.— This occurrence should operate as a caution to persons with teams, both to be cautious in locking, and to lock in time when approaching the piteli of steep banks. THE SHELTON FOOTPATH.— The General Quarter Sessions for tiie Town anil Liberties of Shrewsbury having been adjourned from tile 17th ult. until yesterday, for tlic consideration of this subject, Mr. Whalley, the prosecutor, attended to proceed upqn the motion he had filed at the pre- ceding- Adjournment. The Mavor, with T. Kvnnersley, Esr[. and the Deputy Recorder, ' having taken their places, Mr. Edward Leah, of Shelton, was sworn upon an affidavit as t. o the inconvenient aud dangerous state of the road, in consequence of the stop, ping up and obstructing tbe ancient footwav. Wlialley then moved tbat, in consequence of Mr. John Watton having unlawfully obstructed, stopped up, and inclosed the ancient footway, the Magistrates should direct a precept to issue to tbe proper Officer to remove, within seven days, all impediments' aird obstructions upon or across the said ancient footway, and re- open the same, as the law requires, and as the necessities of tbe public demand. Mr. How ( tbe professional gentleman employed for tiie defendant) said, in a short time, be had no doubt, a mueli more effectual remedy would be applied than Mr. Whalley sought to obtain ; be had a letter from Mr. Kenyon, who stated', that in a few days Sir li. Parnell would arrive to inspect tbe llolyllead Road at tbat place, when some effectual means for making a road tbat would be satisfactory to all parties would be suggested, in order to remove tbe present nuisance; for that it was a nuisance, and a very severe one, there was no doubt. Mr. Kvnnersley said, it was a nuisance, there was no doubt, but. he hoped the prosecutor would wait till tlie Commission- s and the defendant iiad made Arrangements for itsremoval. Mr. Whalley said, in tbat case the public might be incon- venienced for twelve months longer. The Deputy Recorder then stated the decision of the Court, which was, tbat the consideration of thisbnsiness be adjourned for a month, Mr. Whalley said the footway had been most unlawfully obstructed slid stopped up for a considerable period; he lie'd indicted Mr. Watton for tbat offence 4 or 5 months ago, and to that indictment he had pleaded " Guilty;" tile public weie greatly inconvenienced; and although the defendant bad bad abundant time and opportunity, ' no step had been taken towards re opening tbe ancient footway. The taw gave him and the public a right of summary remedy: he had, however, adopted a course which gave the defendant ample opportunity of preventing his r( course to it: he now requested a copy of the order of the Court, as he was determined to apply to the Court of King's Bench upon the subject. He had filed abundant and most respectable testimony, and be had cited cases which proved that he was entitled to an immediate remedy. f'he Court said, they could not recommend any thing upon the subject: be w ould, of course, adopt what measures be thought proper. The Sessions was then adjourned to the 23th of February' at 11 o'clock. Mr Kynnersley said, be thought it would be better to settle the business in Shrewsbury, as otherwise all the pro. ceedings must go to the Court above, and both parties would he put to considerable expense. Mr. Whalley said, he would apply to the Court of King's Bench, if it cost him £ 200; for he was sure they would grant tbe public an immediate remedy. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,—- 1 have read with pleasure the letters of Mr. WHA LLFV respecting Ibe Shelton Footway, not only as regards the spirited vindication of himself from the scurrilous attacks of Mr. Watton, but the maimer in which lie has come forward and perseveringly defended tbe public right, and his endea- vours to obtain tbe re- openingof the old and convenient road. Mr. WH \ J. I. i: v must therefore, no doubt, have been, by reason of bis proceedings, put to considerable expense and trouble ; and therefore 1 think, as the public have been grossly injured, and the conduct of Mr. Watton so fairly brought before it, some substantial testimony of their approbation ought to lie given. I therefore enclose you a Five- Pound Note towards the purchase ofa Silver Cup or other memento to present to him, which, I have no doubt, will be followed by many of tiie inhabitants of this town. 1 am not a personal enemy to Mr. Watton; but.

JASOARY 28TH, 1826. A. B. Opening of the Menai Bridge, The Menai suspended Bridge was opened to the public on Monday . last, tbe 30th of January, by the London and Holyhead down Mail passing over it at two o'clock in the morning.— The horses trotted over it in their regular pace; and although a heavy gale of w ind was blowing at the time, there was no perceptible difference in the motion of the coach, whether on the suspended road- way or on the masonry arches.— About nine o'clock, Sir Henry Parnell and Mr. Telford crossed over the Bridge, iu the travelling carriage of the latter ; and during the whole day visitors from all parts of Carnarvonshire and Anglesey, passed over in their carriages, besides numerous foot- passengers— In the evening, the work- men who bad been employed at the Bridge were regaled with a substantial dinner and abundance of etvrw da—' The inconvenient Ferry across the rapid Menai Estuary is thus at last annihilated, and ano- ther important facility given to the intercourse be- tween the two kingdoms. [ FROM ANOTHER OOHRESPONOENT.] This morning- at two o'clock tbe beautiful Chain Bridge over tlie Menai Struits was opened by the passing over of the Shrewsbury and Holyhead Mail, in tbe presence of Messrs. Telford, Hazledine, Provis, & c. ii. c. Although it was the dead hour of universal re- pose, and the time for opening the Bridge was not generally known, some hundreds had collected toge- ther— 1 be next roach which arrived was the Chester Mail at three o'clock ; and the Bridge being lighted up with oil lamps, had a very grand and pleasing ap- pearance. The morning being very wet prevented tbe g reat influx of company which so novel a sight would otherwise havedrawn together; however, about eleven o'clock tbe rain abated, and at twelve the Oxonian coach arrived from Shrewsbury with a tie. niendotis loud of passengers, followed bv great crowds of people from all directions, and the influx of visitors continued the whole of the day.— The tolls are as follow : Stage coaches, & c Chaises, and all four- wheel carriages..

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, When the Magistrates fixed our present Fairs, and thereby increased their number, they omitted fo re. move the greatest nuisances in onr town, namely TDK PLACES for holding these Fairs, which now occupy our streets two days in every month, to the I great annoyance of the inhabitants, as well as tra- vellers. Fn most county towns, and in ail great ones, proper situations are set apart for public markets ; and in other places the objections of private individu- als are not allowed to obstruct a regulation which is ordered and adopted for the public g- ood.— Several plans have been suggested, in many of which the Farmers themselves concur, and whose convenience should be first considered. To effect this object, a field no doubt may he had at the ends of Frankwell, Coleham, Abbey Foregate, or other extremities, but these would be too remote to be convenient to the Farmers, who ought to be accommodated ; and many are of opinion, that no spot would be proper unless situate as near tiie centre of the town as possible, and so • as to have easy access to places where the Cheese Markets are held ( whether at the Cross, or Welsh Bridge), on account of the farmer and his family, who frequently have urgent business in the Cattle, Horse Fair, and Cheese Markets, at nearly the same time. With the hope that the Magistrates will consider! this measure, or lhat some person better qualified than myself will suggest better plans for consideration, I submit that the Quarry, St. Julian's Friars, the Raven Meadow, or St. Mary's Friars ( had it not been occupied as a Wharf), would be suitable Situations. The Quarry, however, - being- an ornamental walk, should he the last place, though, perhaps, the most accessible and convenient, but either of the other sites mig- ht easily, I conceive, be appointed. In the Raven Meadow, the Walls are particularly convenient to affix the sheep pens, and to this spot there are two entrances, one from the Castle Gates, which may be ordered solely for jfoiny in, and the other through Roushill into Mardol, for driving out, to prevent any confusion. . On that account this situation is more - commodious than the Friars, which, I believe, has only one approach. This latter spot, however, has the advantage of bein. Qf more out. of the reach of floods than the Haven Meadow, but either of these situations might be raised ( at a small expense) by the rubbish from the tow n, if the plan should be permanent, I will not anticipate opposition from the. proprietors of either of these sites 5 because the plan would con- vert land now worth x' 5 an acre into ten times its present value, aud this would be easily collected by a small toll of a penny per head driving in, and the same driving out, and produce, I calculate, ten or twelve pounds every fair. — 1 apprehend such a plan, by way of experiment, may, with the consent of the Magistrates and Proprietors, be tried for one year, as it will require no expense in the outfit until the ground is raised, which will not be necessary until trial lias been made. I have been induced to make these observations at the request, of many respectable inhabitants of the town, as well as the Farmers; aud I think such a regulation, if adopted, Will meet with general appro- bation.

On the 10th ult. at - Pen- ley> deservedly respected, iu the 86th year of his age, John Briscoe, Esq.; of whom it may be truly said, that Christianity entered deeply intohis character, and influenced the conduct of his life, which was invariably marked by honest, plain, and manly integrity, " doing toothers as he would be done by."

On the 19th ultimo, at Holyhead, after four days' illness, of the small pox, aged 21, Henry, eldest, son of Mr. Moran, of the Hibernian Hotel ; a youth of very superior attainments, and universally respected. The arrival of Colonel Edwards and his amiable bride at Greenfields, Machynlleth, on Monday, the 23d ult. was hailed with unbounded demonstrations of joy. The happy pair was met six miles on the Newtown road by about one hundred of the most respectable inhabitants of the town and neighbour- hood on horseback, headed by the Rev. Isaac Bonsall, Rector of Cemmes, who, in an appropriate speech, congratulated them on their recent marri- age and safe arrival. The whole cavalcade having then manifested their feelings with one accord by repeated huzzas, and rent the rugged cliffs around with thunders of exultation, returned to Machyn- lleth in order of procession, well arranged by the aid of Joseph Jones, Esq. an officer in the Mont- gomeryshire Cavalry. Within a mile of the town the populace took the horses from the carriage, and drew it through the streets to the gates of the family mansion, amidst the re- echoed salutes of cannon planted on the craggy summits which en- chantingly embosom the town.- Ample libations were offered, and barrels of ale flowed in the streets as abundantly as the united good wishes of all for the future happiness and prosperity of The House of Greenfields.— The evening was closed by a brilliant display of fire- works, and a general illumination* On Friday, the 13th ull. at the Boar Inn, Llanfyllin, was held the Annual Meetingof the Cambrian Literary Society of that Town. Great preparations had heen making for the entertainment, and the Cymrcigyddion Room was splendidly fitter!" up for the purpose, being heanteously decorated with laurel, and other ever- green branches. The motto of the Society,— 41 CAS GWR NA CHARO Y WLAD A'I MACO" was printed, in large letters, over the Chair of the President, in the form ofa rainbow; and, iu short, every thing tended to give notice of a DARPARIAD DA I'R PERWYL. Erfyl. The dinner was served up in the most sumptuous and costly manner, by the nice- judging taste of Mrs. Jones ; and the CWRW DA, which had heen long pre- served for the purpose, in its " Oaken Shell," seemed to speak its own praise, more effectually, by the good humour and merriment, which prevailed through the company, than by any epithet that could he here given to it. The (' hairs were taken precisely at three o'clock, by M. Bibhy, Esq. President, and Mr. J. Davies, apothecary, Vice President, who re- ceived the warmest approbation of the Society, for their exemplary conduct in their respective chairs. After the cloth was removed, among- others, the following patriotic and loyal toasts were drank by the company With the greatest applause: viz.— Church and King—- Cambrian Societies throughout England and Wales— Oes y byd i'r Gymraeg- Reverend D. Hughes, Patron of the Society— Rev. Waiter Davies and the Bards of Cambria— Dr. W. O. Pugh and the Davydd Jonawr, Bards of Merioneth — Rev. E, Evans, President of the Llanfair Society -& c. &. c.— The immortal Memory of the late John llumffreys Parry, Esq. who was present at our last anniversary, was dra frit in silence; yet with a fervour and enthusiasm, which plainly shewed how much the death of that Gentleman was regretted by his affectionate country- men and friends. After these toasts were drank, the President rose up and informed the company, that, the successful competitors, who had written on the following subject of the Society, viz. < l The Properties of the Welsh. Language," were those, whose feigned names were " Geiriedydd," l£ Llywarch," and Gwaenwr."— Mr. John Jones ( Myllin) stood up, and announced himself to be Geiriedydd ; and ne received the first Prize. Mr. Robert Jones, jun. presented himself as Llywarch for the second Prize, for which lie returned thanks to the company in the following- Englynion : — Heddyw fe vm cawd yn haeddol- . o wobr, A gwiw- barch ryt'eddol; O ffrwyth f' AWEN, ffraeth, fywiol, Bylwri i dalu yn ol; A thrvvv'r byd o hyd i'm harch— e gofiaf ' Fath gyfiawn fwyneidd^ barch: Ag am eich rhad, bur fad barch, Yn LLAWEN y bydd LLYWARCH. Mr. Evan Pugh ( Brithdir) stood up as Gwaenwr ; and he received the last Prize. During the evening, many excellent Englvnion were recited by Myllin ( the Bard of the Society); amongst which, were the following, after the toast Oes y byd i'r Gymraeg" was given: — Chwi Feirdd cu, fal llu lla\ ven-- yn hyrv/ ydd Cyweiriwch yr Awen lieddvw, mewn modd addien, 1 foli'eh iaith wiw- faith wen.'

It is with much regret we have to state, that the very respectable bank of Mr. Joseph Hadwen, in this town, suspended payment yesterday morning the pressure of the times, and the difficulty of con- verting bills and other securities into cash, have led to this circumstance; which, it is to be feared, will be productive of much inconvenience to a number of tradesmen and others in the town and neighbour- hood; though we hope there will not be much, if any, ultimate loss, as we can state, from authentic information, that the assets of the bank appear, at present, quite sufficient to satisfy all the claims upon it.—- Liverpool Courier, Jan. 25. BIRMINGHAM.— The second meeting under Gib- bins, Smith, and Goode's bankruptcy took place on Wednesday last. The early part of the day was occu- pied in receiving proofs of debts, after which the meeting proceeded to the nomination and choice of treasurers and assignees to the estate. The amount of debts proved was stated at £ 188,000, including claims on the part of the Banbury and Swansea banks to the extent of about £ 40,000. Messrs. Taylors and Lloyds, and Messrs. Attwoods, Spooner, and Co. of Birmingham, were proposed as joint treasurers by Mr. Unett, and Sir James Esdaile and Co. of London, by Mr. Bird. The votes of those creditors who had proved were then taken seriatim, and upon casting up the amounts, it was declared that the choice had fallen upon Messrs. Esdaile and Co. in whose favour cre- ditors to the extent of £ 46,000 had voted, while the debts of those who voted for Ihe Birmingham banks did not exceed £ 33,000. It was then moved hy Richard Spooner, Esq. that the following creditors be appointed Assignees, viz. Mr. Edward Eagle, Mr. William Payn, Mr. William Allcock, Mr. Brueton Gibbins, and Mr. Joseph Shore. Some objection was made lo the appointment of Mr. Gibbins, but it was over- ruled, on the ground of lhat gentleman being the nominee of two of the principal creditors ( Ihe firms at Banbury and Swansea), aud that being himself a creditor upon his brother's eslate to the amount of £ 20,000, he had the strongest motive to wind up the concern iu the most advantageous manner, as he could not put in his claim until the joint creditors of the late bank had been first satisfied. The meeting, which was not very numerously attended, then sepa- rated.— Mr. Goode is appointed by the assignees to receive the outstanding debts due to the late firm. The appalling, and we should conceive unprece- dented list of bankrupts which appears in the London Gazette of Saturday, furnishes melancholy eviden e how widely commercial difficulties have extended. The loss which the Marquis of Clanricarde ( the son- in- law of Mr. Canning) is supposed to have sustaiced by his magnificent residence, Portumna Castle, having been consumed by fire, is estimated at no less a sum than £ 50,000.

The Leeds Intelligencer of Thursday contains an account of three meetings of creditors of Vi'entworth and Co. at Wakefield, at Bradford, and at York. The most sanguine hopes are entertained of their ultimate solvency. The accounts from several of the principal manu- facturing and trading districts of the kingdom, ara- of a distressing- description. At Manchester ti general stagnation in trade is complained of, and a number of the factories are opeued but for a few hours in the day; the lower orders there are about to petition against the Corn Bill— At Stockport several ofthe mili owners have been compelled to place their work- people on half work, and it is feared the example must be followed by others, if a material alteration does uot soon take place — The stoppage of . the bank of Mr. Hadwen, at Liverpool, and the depression of the cotton trade, are likeiv rery seriously to affect the commercial interests of that port.— Leeds, Bradford, Bolton, and other towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire, are suffering greatly, from the depression of their staple manufactures.— At Congleton and Macclesfield, things are in a still more deplorable state. In these towns thousands are out of employ, and dependant oil the parish or on their more opulent neighbours, for a bare sub- sistence. , General subscriptions have been entered into at L oth places for the relief of the public dis- tress; and it speaks not a little in favour of the humanity. of the manufacturers, who are suffering themselves on account of the stagnation in the silk trade, that they have come handsomely forward to administer to the wants of the working classes. The workmen of Congleton have addressed a second memorial to the Board of Trade, praying- that the intended regulations with respect. to foreign wrought silk, to the anticipation of which they attribute all their misery, may not be carried into effect. We learn from the Nottingham Journal of Satur- day, that a meeting was held there on Wednesday, IO enter into subscriptions and to adopt measures for the relief of the distressed poor of that town. Upwards of £ 403 was immediately subscribed, and a distribution of soup, bread, and potatoes has already commenced. The number of applications which immediately took place for tickets shewed too plainly the extent of suffering among the working classes. COURT OF KING'S BUNCH, JAN IFJ.-^ THE King v. Hughes, Dickenson, and others - Mr. Camp- bell moved fnr a rule calling upon the defendants to shew cause why an information in the nature of a quo warranto should not be exhibited agaiust them, for* claiming to fill the offices of Mayor and capital Bur.- gesses of the borough of Stafford. IN support of this motion the Learned Counsel read e'u affidavit, stating,, that, accordi ng to the Charter of. thv Borough, the' Mayor must be elected by the majority of the Alder-/ men and Common Council men ; that there are ten Aldermen and ten Common Council men ; that at the' election of the defendant Hughes there were only four Aldermen present, and that he . was elected before a. Mayor who had ahfo been improperly elected. The affidavit also stated, that the other defendants were elected by a less number of the . Corporation than the- Charter required.—- Rule granted. Mr. Richard Radford Roe, a barrister, was ar- rested whilst sitting iu the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Wednesday last, on a charge of burglary and robbery, arising it' is said, out of a family mis- understanding. VICE- CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JANUARY 21. SHARP V. GREENWOOD AND OTHKRS. Mr. Spurrier moved for an'injunction to restrain the defendant from selling certain maps of the different counties in England. It appeared that tire plaintiff and defendant had been jointly interested in the pro- perty ofthese maps until November, 1821, when the plaintiff assigned his share to" the defendant Green- wood for £ 2000.. The purchase- money, however, not being then paid, the property was mortgaged to the plaintiff fcr that sum, and shit remained charged with it. The defendant had enlarged the original plan, had taken a person into partnership, and was now about to well Ihe maps without the consent of the plaintiff. This motion was therefore made to prevent the injury which he might in that case sustain. The Vice- Chancellor asked if notice ofthe applica- tion forthe injauction had been given. Mr. Spurrier said the notice had uot been given, and the plaintiff stated in his affidavit his belief that if he had done so the defendants would have immediately effected the sale, a^ hd he should have lost his mjney. The injunction was then, granted. L. 155 Tilley Gate Creamore Gate, and Stone aud Cross Gates and Bars 381 0 Soulton otherwise Roundhili Gate 38 13 S.

There is an old- fashioned friend of mine who' is at. present in a scrape, and perhaps some- of your advice may do him good. Mr Bull is of a very old family, and is himself a very good man, butsometimes. he g- ets had notions into bis head, gives up his good sense and judgment into the hands of others, aud often repents when it- is too late. His family at present consists of many sous and daughters, and he had the wisdom to bring them up most industriously. — By dividing their employments,' he has contrived that . they should assist each other, and then the butcher buys of the farmer, the shoemaker of the butcher, and the weaver of the shoemaker. Thus,, iu spite of the long and expensive contest which he was compelled to carry on with his neighbour, lie contrived, although deeply in debt, to hold his head as high as any, and his children proved so industrious, that besides contributing largely to their father's-' burdens, they could afford to supply their neighbours with cheaper and better goods than they could procure elsewhere. Such was the state of things when they were visited by a stranger called " Political Econo. my he was a very speculative man, and one of those- sprigs of fashion who start up, figure for a day, and then are only known by the train of debts they leave behind them. Well, Mr. Editor, this fellow got the ear of some of John's best servants, and persuaded them that they were doing very foolishly by thus trafficking amongst themselves ; that so far front' supporting each other, they would do much better to open their doors to all their neighbours, and let every pedlar offer his pack , to every member of the house, hold. It was in vain that some of them protested agaiust this measure; they were put down vvith a elamour. A Free Trade, a Free Trade, was the cry » But, mv good master, said one, look at the mortgage. Oh, confound the mortgage, sa\ s Mr. Political Eeono- my, you must work the harder, and endeavour to undersell all these people. But they have no mort- gage, says another, and besides they can get the material cheaper than we can. Oh, nonsense, says Mr. P. E. again, consider how cheaply you will buy every thing. That way be true, says a third, but where will the money to buy come from? However, to make my story short, this fellow talked and per- suaded, and in the end carried his point. Well, they debated who should be the first, sacrifice, and thev fixed upon the poor unfortunate weaver, and in spite of all his entreaties invited info the house every pedlar in the country. The consequence . might he easily fore- seen. The miserable mechanic, after s: ruggliuyf agafnst fhe torrent for some time, turned off hi » journeymen, shut up his shop, nearly broke his heart, and is now, instead of assisting to pay his share of the old mortgage, become a burden to iiis brethren. The butcher complains that they do not buy his meat; the baker his bread. They gf » without shoes and clothes, and are nearly frozen in this inclement season. Well, Mr. Editor, this is bad enough, hut even this is not the worst. Poor John's eyes are. so blinded by this foolish fellow Mr. Economy, or rather M r. Starvation, that he is about to try the ianie scheme with the best boy of the lot, and means to suffer the sou4 who has all along supplied him with his corn and meat, to be ruined in the same manner. Some people will quarrel with their bread and butter. But, Mr. Editor, let me beg of you to give this unfortunate history a place iu your valuable Paper ; perhaps, as there is about to be a consultation amongst all John's servants and his best friends, they may be inclined to persuade him to alter his measures.

An Old G tpsy ; ..'/ Village Sketch BY MISS M1TFORD. In We have few gipsies in our neighbourhood spite of our tempting green lanes, our woody dells, and heathy commons, the rogues don't take to us. 1 am afraid that we are too civilized, too cautious ; that our sheep- folds are too closely watched; our barn- yards too well- guarded; our geese and docks too fastly penned, our chickens too securely locked up; our little pigs too safe in the sty; our game too scarce ; our laundresses too careful. In short, we are too little primitive: we have a snug brood of vagabonds and poachers of our own, to say no- thing of their regular followers— constables and justices of the peace : w e havestocks iu the village, and a treadmill in the next town ; and therefore we go gipsyless— a misfortune of wbich every land- scape painter, and every lover of that living land- scape, ihe country, can appreciate the extent. There is nothing under the sun that harmonizes so well with nature, especially in her woodland recesses, us that picturesque people, who are, so to say, the wild genus— the pheasants and roebucks of the human race. Bra, cliing off from the high road, a little below our village, runs a wide green lane, bordered on either sideby a row of young oaks and beeches just within tlie hedge, forming au avenue, ill which, on a summer afternoon, you may see the squirrels dis- porting from tree to tree, whilst the rooks, their fellow denizens, are wheeling in noisy circles over their heads. The fields sink gently down on each side, so that, being the bottom of a natural winding valley, and crossed by many little rills and rivulets, the turf exhibits, even in the driest summers, an emerald verdure. Scarcely any one passes the. end of thai lane without wishing to turn into it; but tbe way is in some sort dangerous and difficult for foot passengers, because the brooklets which intersect it are in many instances bricigeless, and in others bestridden by planks so decayed, that it were rash- ness to pass them ; and the nature of the ground treacherous and boggy, and in many places as un- stable aa water, rendering it for carriages wholly impracticable. i, however, that do not dislike a little difficulty here there is no absolute danger, and who am moreover almost as familiar with the one only safe track as the heifers who graze there, sometimes venture along this seldom- trodden path, which terminates, at ( he end ofa mile and a half, in a spot of singular beauty. rlhe hills become abrupt and woody, the cultivated enclosures cease, and the long narrow valley ends in a Utile green, bordered on one side by a fine old park, whose mossy paling, overhung wilh thorns and hollies, conies sweeping round it, to meet the rich coppices which clothe the opposite acclivity. Just under ( lie high and irregu- lar paling, shaded by the birches and sycamores of t'ne park, and by the veuerabl • oaks which are scattered irregularly 011 the green, is a dark deep pool, whose broken banks, crowned w ilh fern, and wreathed with briar and bramble, have an air of wildness and grandeur that might have suited the pencil of Salvator Hosa. In this lonely place ( for the mansion to wbich the park belonged had long been uninhabited) I first saw our gipMes.— They had pitched their little lent under one of the oak trees, perhaps from a certain dim sense of natural beauty, which those who live with nature in the fieldsare seldom totally without: perhaps because the neighbourhood of the coppices, and of tiie deserted hall, was favourable to the acquisition of game and of the little fuel which their liardy habits required. The party consisted of only four— an old crone, in a tattered red cloak and black bonnet, who was stooping over a kettle, of whieh the contents were probably as savoury as that of Meg Merrilies, renowned in story; a pretty black- eyed girl, at work under the trees; a sun- burnt urchin of eight or nine, collecting sticks and dead leaves to feed their out- of- doors fire ; and a slender lad, two or three years older, who lay basking in the sun with two shabby dogs of fhe sort called mongrel, in all the joy of idleness, whilst a grave patient donkey stood grazing hard by. It was a pretty picture, with its soft autumnal sky, its rich woodiness, its sunshine, its verdure, fhe light smoke curling from the fire, and the group disposed, around it so harmless, ' poor outcasts ! and so ht. ppy — a beautiful picture! I stood gazing on it till I was half ashamed to look longer, and came away half afraid that they should depart before I could see them again. This fear I soon found to be groundless. The old gipsy was a celebrated fortune- teller, and tbe post having been so long vacant, she could not have brought her talents to a better market. The whole village rung w th the predictions of this modern Cassandra— unlike her Trojan predecessor, inas- much as her prophecies were never of evil. 1 my- self could not help admiring tbe real cleverness, the genuine gipsy tact with which she adapted bcr foretellings fo the age, the habifs, and the known desires and circumstances of her clients. To our little pet Lizzy, for instance, a damsel of seven, she predicted a fairing; to Joe Kirby, a youth of eleven, head batter of the boys, a new cricket- ball; to Joe's sister Lucy, a girl some three years his senior, and just promoted to that ensign of womanhood, a cap, she promised a pink top- knot; whilst, for Miss Sophia Matthews, our old- maidish school- mistress, who would be heartily glad to be a girl asrain, she foresaw one handsome husband, and for the smart widow Simmonds, two. These were the least of her triumphs. George Wheeler, the dashing young farmer of the Hill- house, a gay sportsman, who scoffed at fortune- tellers and matri- mony, consulted - her a6 to whose greyhound should win the courser's cup at the beacon meeting; to which she replied, that she did not know ( o whom the dog would belong, but that the winner of the cup would oe a w hite greyhound, with oue blue ear, and a spot on its side, being an exact description of Mr. George Wheeler's favourite Helen, who fol. lowed his master's steps like his shadow, and was standing behind him at this very moment. This very favourable prediction gained our gipsy half a crown; and Master Welles, the thriving thrifty yeoman of tbe lea— she managed fo win sixpence from his hard, honest, frugal hand, by a prophecy that his old brood mare, Blackfoot, should bring forth twins; and Will Ihe Blacksmith, who was known to court the tall nursemaid at the mill— she got a shilling from Will, simply by assuring him that his wifeshould have the longest coffin that ever was made in our wheelwright's shop. A most tempting prediction! ingeniously combining the prospect of winning and of surviving the lady of his heart— a promise equally adapted to the hot and cold fits of that ague called love : lightening the fetters of wedlock; unitina in a breath the bride- groom and the widower. Will was the best pleased of all customers, and enforced bis suit with such vigour, that he and the fair giantess were asked in church the next Sunday, and married at the fort- night's end. No wonder that all the world— thaf is to say, all our world— were crazy to have their fortunes told— to enjoy Ihe pleasure of hearing, from such un- doubted authority, that what they wished to be should be; Amongst the mo^ t eager to take a peep into futurity, was our pretty maid Harriet, although her desire took the not unusual form of disclamation —" nothing should induce her to have her fortune fold, nothing upon earth!"' " She never thought of Ihe gipsy, not she!" and to prove the fact, she said so at least twenty times a day. Now Harriet's fortune seemed told already; her destiny was fixed. She, the belle of the village, was engaged to our village b( 5au, Joel Brent; ( hey were only waiting for a little more money to marry; and as Joel was already head carter to our head farmer, and had some prospect of a bailitt's place, their union did not appear very distant. But Harriet, besides being a beauty, was a coquette, and her affection for her betrothed did not interfere with certain flirta- tions which occasionally cast a shadow of coolness between the lovers,, which, however, Joel's clever- ness and good humour generally contrived to chase away. There had probably been a little fracas in the present iusfance, for at the end of one of her daily pro fessions of unfaith in gipsies and their predictions, she added, " that none but fools did believe them ; lhat Joel had had his fortune told, and wauted to treaf her to a prophecy— but she was not such a simpleton." About' half all hour after the delivery of this speech,.! happened, in tying up a chrysanthemum, to go to our wood- yard for a stick of proper dimen- sions, and there, enclosed between, the faggot pile and the coal- shed, stood the gipsy, in the very act of palmistry, eomiiiig the lines of fate in Harriet's hand. Never was a stronger contrast than that between the old withered sybil, dark as an Egyptian, with bright laughing eyes,, and an expression of keen humour under all h r affected solemnity, and our village beauty, tall, and plump, aud fair, bloom- ing as a rose, and simple as a dove'. She was listening too intently to see me ; but the fortune- teller did, and stopt so suddenly, that her attention was awakened and the intruder discovered. Harriet at first meditated a denial. She called up a pretty innocent unconcerned look; answered my silence ( for I never spoke a word) by muttering something about " coals for the parlour;" and catching up my new painted watering pot, instead of the " coal- scuttle, began filling it with all her might, to the unspeakable discomfiture of that useful utensil, on which the dingy dust stuck like birdlime — and of her own clean apron, wbich exhibited a curious interchange of black and green on a white ground. During the process of filling the watering- pot, Harriet made divers signs to the gipsy to decamp. The old sybil, however, budged not afoot, influenced probably by. two reasons: one, the hope of securing a customer in the new comer, whose appearance is generally, 1 am afraid, the very reverse of dignified, rather merry than wise; the other, a genuine fear of passing through the yard- gate, 011 the outside of which a much more imposing person, my grey- hound, Mayflower, who has a sort of beadle instinct anent drunkards aud pilferers, and disorderly per- sons of all sorts, stood barking most furiously. This instinct is one of May's remarkable qualities. Dogs are all, more or less, physiognomists, and commonly pretty determined aristocrats, fond ofthe fine and averse to the shabby, distinguishing, with a ni ze accuracy, the master castes from the parias of the world. But May's power of perception is another matter, more, as it were moral. She bas no objection to honest rags; can away with dirt, or age, or ugliness, or any such accident, aud, except just at home, makes no distinction between kitchen and parlour. Her intuition points entirely to the race of people commonly called suspicions, ou whom she pounces at a glance. What a constable she would have made! What a jewel of a thief- taker! Pity that those four feet should stand in the w ay of her preferment ? she might have risen to be a Bow- street officer. As it is, we make the gift useful in a small way. lu the matter of hiring and marketing, the whole village likes to consult May. Many a chap has stared when she has been whistled up to give her opinion as to his honesty; and many a pig bargain has gone off on her veto. Our neigh- bour, mine host of the Rose, used constantly to follow her judgment in the selection ofhis lodgeri Ilis house was never so orderly as when under her government. At last he found out that she ab- horred tipplers as well as thieves— indeed, she actually barked away three of his best customers: and lie left off appealing to her sagacity, since which he has, at different times, lost three silver spoons and a leg of mutton. With every one else May is an oracle. Not only in the case of way- farers and vagrants, but, amongst our own people, her fancies are quite a touchstone. A certain lame cobbler, for instance-— May cannot abide him, and I don't think he has had so much as a job of heel piecing to do since her dislike became public. She really took away his character. Longer than 1 have taken to relate Mayflower's accomplishments stood we, like the folks in the Critic, at a dead lock: May, who probably regarded tbe gipsy as a sort of rival, an interloper on her oracular domain, barking with the voice ofa lioness — the gipsy trying to persuade me into having my fortune told— and I endeavouring to prevail on May to let the gipsy pass-. Both attempts were unsuc- cessful ; and the fair consulter of destiny, who had by this time recovered from the shame of her detection, extricated us from our dilemma by smuggling the old woman away through the house. Of course Harriet was exposed to some raillery, andag- osd deal of questioning about her future fate, as to wbich she preserved an obstinate, but evidently satisfied silence. At the end of three days, however, — my readers are, I hope, learned enough in gipsy lore to know that, unless kept secret for three entire days, no prediction can come true— at tbe eud of three days, when all the family except herself had forgotten the story, our pretty soubrette, half burst- ing- with the long retention, took the opportunity of lacing ou my new half- boots to reveal the prophecy. " She was to see within the week, and this was Saturday, the young man, the real young man, whom she was to marry." " Why, Harriet, you know poor Joel." " Joel, indeed! the gipsy said that the young man, the real young man, was to ride up to the house drest in a dark great coat ( and Joel never wore a great coat iu his life— all the world knew that he wore- smock- frocks and jackets.) and mounted 011 a white horse— and where should Joel get a white horse!" " Had this real young man made his appearance yet?" " No; there had not been a white horse past the place since Tuesday : so it must certainly be to- day." A good look out did Harriet keep for white horses during this fateful Saturday, and plenty did she see. It was the market- day at B'., and team after team came by with one, two, and three white horses; cart after cart, and gig after gig, each with a white steed; Colonel M.' s carriage, with its prancing pair — but still no horseman. At length one appeared; but he bad a great coat whiter than the animal he rode; another, but he was old Farmer LeWiugton, a married man ; a third, but he was little Lord L., a school- boy, on his Arabian pony. Besides, they all passed the house; and as the day wore 011, Harriet began, alternately, to profess her old infidelity on the score of fortune- telling, and to let out certain apprehensions that, if the g- ipsy did really possess the power of foreseeing events, and; no such horse- man arrived, she might possibly be unlucky enough to die an old maid— a case for which* although the proper destiny of a coquette, our village beauty seemed to entertain a decided aversion. At last, just at dusk, just as Harriet, making be- lieve to close our casement shutters, was taking her last peep up the road, something white appeared in the distance coming leisurely down the hill. Was it really a horse! Was it not rather Titus Strong's cow driving home to milking' A minute or two dissipated that fear; it certainly was a horse, and as certainly it had a dark rider. Very slowly he descended the hill, pausing most provokingly at the end of the village, as if about, to turn up the Vicar- age- lane. He came 011, however, and after another short stop at the Rose, rode full up to our little gate, and catching Harriet's hand as she was open- ing the wicket, displayed to the half- pleased, half- angry damsel the smiling triumphant face of her own Joel Brent, equipped ill a new great coat, and mounted on his master's newly purchased market nag. Oh Joel! Joel!— The gipsy ! the gipsy! GLEANINGS FROM NATURAL HISTORY. Those animals only possess voice which are pro- vided with lungs. Fish have no lungs; they breathe through gills, consequently have no voice; hence the proverb, " as mute as a fish." Vespertilio; Spectrum. The Vampyrc.— The body about the size of a squirrel. Iu South America it proves very troublesome, by sucking the blood, not only of the larger mammifera, but also of men when asleep; 011 this account it has received its name. Glis Esculentus. The Fat Dormouse is the true Glis of the ancients ( Apicius VIII. 9), which they used as food, and fattened for the purpose. The Guinea Fig is the most prolific of all the mammifera. The Porcupine has not the power of shooting its quills at its pursuers. The Hedgehog can eat Cantharides in any quantity. Sorex exilis; the Minute Shrew; the smallest mamtniferous animal yet known: it neighs but half a drachm. Didelphis Giganfea.- The Kangaroo, when sit- ting upright, is as high as a man, and weighs 1401bs. it leaps 12 feet at a time. The female produces but a single young one at a time, which, when born, is scarcely half so large as a mouse, but is carried in the mother's pouch until it weighs nearly 14lbs. The Bear when young lives principally 011 vegeU ables, but after its third year becomes carniverous; when full grown it weighs upwards of four hundred weight. T . ePolarBear is 12 feet long, and weighs fifteen hundred weight. The celebrated horse Eolipse passed over 58 feet in a second; when at full stretch he covered 25 feet, and repeated this action twice and one- third in a second. Moschus PygmsEUs; the Pygmy Musk; the small- est animal of this kind ( Stag). Its legs are not longer than a finger, and about as thick as a tobacco pipe. The elephant is the largest of all land animals, being full 15 feet high, and weighing in its 20th year 7000lbs. It is probable that the elephant will live 200 years; it is principally used as a beast of burden, and is able to carry at least a ton. Whales were formerly ( incorrectly) considered fishes. The Black Whale is the largest of all known animals, weighing upwards of 100,0001bs.: those that are taken at present are rarely longer than 60 or 70 feet. The Condor inhabits the western parts of South America: it measures 12 feet across when the wings are expanded, and the quills of the pinion feathers are as thick as a man's finger; it flies at an extraordinary elevation. Trochilns minimus; the least Humming Bird The smallest bird known, weighing, when dried, only 30 grains: it lays two eggs about the size of peas. National Census.— The Corn Laics. [ By a Correspondent of the Chester Chronicle. 1 A short time ago, chance threw under Ihe observa- tions of the writer of Ibis paper, tiie book called " The Census for 1801." A slight inspection of il led him lo delect very great errors iu the classifica- tions. These errors go directly 10 give false appear- ances to Ihe relative numbers of the manufacturing, trading, and agricultural classes: increasing, in ap- pearance, the two former, and diminishing the latter iu an astonishing degree. The Government, probably— tbe Public, most cer- tainly, have been widely led astray by the- erroneous and imperfect returns of that census. According to thatr the whole number of persons iu the Hundred of Broxton, ill the County of Chester, was 13,063. This Hundred is taken, because il is Ibe only one with which Ihe writer is well acquainted. Of ihese, 909 are returned as belonging lo trade, manufactures, or handicraft, thus leaving it uncertain in which class they are to be placed; and 5800 are returned as neutrals, or not belonging lo any of those classes— nor even to agriculture! To what, then, do they belong ? Now, no trade or manufacture whatever, except where salt is made, employing not more than six or seven persons, is found in the Hundred of Broxton! The 909 tnusl, therefore, have been shopkeepers, or handicraftsmen, depending exclusively upon Ihe landed interest for all Ihey enjoy; aud Ihe 5800, ( wilh a few exceptions of casual settlers,) must have beeu aged and helpless persons, women, and children, not immediately employed, because they were not able to work in husbandry. They should, however, without a doubt, have been classed, not as Ihey appear to be in Ihe census, but as a pari, an ineffi- cient part, indeed, of fhe agricultural families,— by which, both Ihe 909 and 1 he 5800 persons, with the exceptions as above, are supplied with Ihe entire means of their existence. Thus, the most non- enquiring character may see that the number— Ihe importance— of the landed interest, in Ihe above- named Hundred, is positively reduced, ignorantly or intentionally, ( it matters not how,) to less than one half! Is it not, therefore, fair to assume that similar gross mistakes have been made in every division and subdivision of the kingdom. [ Taking this for the groundwork of his calculation, and assuming the mis- statement as to Ihe Hundred of Broxton lo be a fair average of the erroneous census as lo Cheshire, and comparing the population- of Cheshire with Ihe general population, the writer says]— you will see a mass of 2,442,076 abstracted from the class of agri- culturists in England and Wales only! ! Is there not, therefore, every reason to believe that as great mistakes have been made in- classing the nine or ten millions in Ireland, Scotland, and the smaller islauds and dependencies ia Europe ?— mak- ing, altogether, a mass of from 4 to 5,000,00 ' absolutely taken from ihe side of the lauded interes 1 to which they belong, and a considerable proportion of ihem made over, in appearance, to that of trade and manufactures! These errors have necessarily led fo great mistakes in all political calculations; aud have, no doubt, operated very injuriously to the general interest, in giving au erroneous bias lo Ministers, as well as lo public opinion, when estimating the numbers and predominant importance of Ihe owners and occupiers of the land— with their dependant millions. Is not every shop- keeper, arltzan, and labourer, of every description, with their families, in Ihe towns and villages of country districts^ where no factory is established, a part of the landed interest— as much as the man who sows the grain— or the boy who drives the plough? They are all supported, directly or indirectly, by the owners and occupiers of the soil: ihey have, generally, no, other sources of income. That part of llie Ministry, which is so prone to argue and act under false data ( unhappily, there is such a pari!)— and, in following ihe bent of their prejudices, lo trifle with the great, paramount, and permanent Interest of llie Slate, tbe prosperity of which is the prosperity of all, as certainly as its depression would be the depression of all,— will not he able, by any sophistry, lo conceal or pervert the faels, Some men are for ever dabbling in new- fangled schemes, and delighting in false theories, if the creation of their own brains. Their fallacies, however, are now more clearly seen in some recent measures'that have entirely failed. " The Country Gentlemen" is Ihe phrase in com- mon use among certain public men, when they intend to describe the landed interest, so as nol to give alarm lo that part of it which composes the House of Lords. The fact is, that all directly connected with the Land, from the Duke of Northumberland lo the freeholder of 40s. income, including all their dependant mil- lions, would be ruinously involved in the threatened measure of let ling in Foreign grain, & c. at a per- manent low duty. The writer is quite satisfied that less than 30s. a quarter would rapidly bring back general distress. This will be evident when it shall be known, that merchantable wheal can be bought at Daulzic for a fraction more than 20s. a quarter, at some other places for much less. As a proof of this, see the Report, published by order of Ihe House of Commons, and signed by the British Residents at tbe respective places, for the year 1824. — Danfzic 20s. 0| d ; Amsterdam 22s 2d.; Rotterdam 24s.; Embden 17s.; Antwerp 27s. lid ; Hamburgh 20s. Ojd ; Palermo 26s. 5' Jd.— It has been lately reported, thai Wheat can be had at Alexandria, grown in the mud of Ihe Nile, ( what farmer can vie with lhat?) as low as 13s, a quarter ! All estafes in their turns, but tbe smallest and most encumbered in the first instance, would be ruined or deeply injured 10 their present proprietors, if by Ihe ignorance, supineness, or corruption at the national representatives tile measure of opening the Ports at a permanent low duty should be suffered unhappily ( 0 pass into a law. The well informed manufacturers, notwithstanding the partial, ignorant, and malignant ravings of some parts of the Press, cannot but be aware that ( he most certain and extensive market for their goods is at home: and that, even at this moment of their high prosperity with respect to foreign de- mand, is very many limes more than wilh all the world besides. What would become of their goods and their prosperity, if the lauded interest in all its bearings, certainly much more lhan two. thirds of the whole population, should be deprived of a half, or a third, of ils usual means of purchase, and tietl down by a permanent low duly from any improvement in those means hereafter ? — How is it possible lhat any prejudiced Egotistical Declaimer can appear to con- vince himself that such a state would be a slate of General Prosperity ? ! ! One or more, nevertheless, of the men in power have hazarded such a wild assertion! How any men in their senses, and with hearts in their bodies, notwithstanding their worship of the golden image which some of the Ministers have set up, can contemplate such a measure, is a subject of deep astonishment to all thinking men— but most par. licularlv so whilst this laud is so peculiarly oppressed beyond all other land in Europe. Will Ihe manu- facturers, traders, and monicd men, be willing lo have those burdens removed in part to their own shoulders, and to pay their just shares under the head of an in come or property tax? Let ihem answer this. The memory of ihe disfreeses and riots which so generally prevailed a few years ago has not passed away. 11 would be difficult to ascertain all tlie causes of those distresses— many were in co. operalion at Ihe same lime; but there can be little difficulty in shewing that the main cause was in Ihe comparative low prices of farmers' produce— fhe word comparative is used, be- cause though- they were high then, too high indeed, yet, as they had been much higher a short time before, the deficiency in the means of purchase, 011 ibe part of ( he great body of the landed interest, Was severely fell iu the manufacturers' market; so severely, indeed, as fo cause a stagnation in the sale of all sorts of home- made goods : finis ihe operatives, being without work, and the means of providing the necessary quantities of food aud raiment, and not being able lo see info the causes of llieir distresses, were easily led oil by radical and unprincipled demagogues lo despair and rebellion. These and other fatal consequences are too generally known and loo recent to admit of any refutation. After the riots, the value of grain, & c. continued to fall, and every thing wore a more gloomy aspect— numberless landlords received little or no rents— tenants became bankrupts— and many of ihe former, wilh encumbered estates and large families, were driven to the heart- breaking necessity of selling their inheritances for whatever was offered, and, separating: themselves from their friends and connexions, aban- doned their country with poverty in their train, and sought obscurity in some distant land — there many remain, and many will never return. Great numbers of master- manufacturers wore also overwhelmed with ruin by the same causes; a great part of them, nevertheless, with almost all the operatives, seem utterly blind in this respect to the frue causes of their distress and failure. They might have found out that their misfortunes at that time were in a great degree consequent on the comparat re low prices of farmers' p. oduce, brought about, principally, by previous excessive import- ations from abroad. Thus, the whole mass of the landed interest, which forms, by so many degrees, a greater mart than all the world besides for British manufactures, was oppressed more or less according to the circumstances and sizes of estates, and dis- abled by the falling off of income from. purchasing the quautitiesof goods which, theretofore, ithad been accustomed to consume. The consequences have been described above: similar effects would result from similar causes; but it is not doubted tbut Par- liament will avert the threatened evils. Ma y more observations might be made, but this letter is already too long. The tenor of it may, perhaps, lead some decided ultras to say that the writer is a disaffected man ; but be ventures to say for himself, that he will not submit to ba second iu true loyalty to the most loyal of them all. The whole conduct ofhis life will prove that he has a full right thus to speak of himself. But be will never be considered a blind slave to the opinions or prejudices of any party or any set of men whatever. AGRICOLA. P. S. Since the above bas been written, the writer of il has for the first lime seen Ihe book with llie enumeration and classification for 1821. According to that, ( but no credence can be given to any of the censuses,) the population of Ihe Hundred of Broxton has increased lo 15,723, and those classed with the manufacturers, & c. from 909 persons, lo532 families! which, reckoning 55 persons to each family, make more than 2900 individuals; when Ihe positive fact still, is, that not oue manufacturer, properly so called, ihe six or seven in salt excepted, exists in the Hundred!! These facts are more than enough fo shew the reliance lhat can be placed on such ridicu- lous and ill- founded Reports; aud also to shew, in a strong light, how ill the assertions of certain men iu office are supported, when they attempt, 011 such authority, to diminish the numbers and depreciate the importance of the grand and permanent interests of Ihe nation, by ignorantly yielding to their prejudices in favour of ihe ephemeral establishments of steam engines and spinning jennies. There is, among very many oilier most powerful reasons, one of the last importance, that Government should not make the country dependant upou fo feigners for any part of Ihe first necessaries of life: the most overwhelming ruiu would inevitably follow such a system. Suppose, what is very possibl general war, and lhat the Holy Alliance should be leagued against England. U is at all limes iu tbe power of the despots of that alliance to prevent the export of grain, & c. from all ( he continental ports of Europe, and so lo compel the nation into an uncondi- tional surrender of coiistitulion, religion, liberty, and property. Englishmen, suffer not yourselves and families lo be sacrificed to Ihe delusions of theory and speculation— make yourselves heard both in and out of Parliament— let every parish petition both Houses. One word more: many have asserted thai England cannot grow food enough for itself; but all well- informed agriculturists know, that if Ihey could be assured of remuneration for fhe outlay of labour and capital, that fhe United Kingdom might be made lo produce, iu a veiy few years, a sufficient quantity of food for a much more dense population. COURT OF ARCHES, JAN. 20. EDWARDS V. WEST. This was a question 011 the grant of a faculty for the erection of a Gallery in Chirk Church ; and it came up 011 an appeal from, an interlocutory judgment in the Court below, directing the answers of Mr. Edwards to be amended. O11 a former day this Court bad pronounced for the appeal, and retained the cause, expressing at the same time a pretty strong opinion that, if the proofs should correspond to the present appearance of the cause, the decision would be adverse to Mr. West. The Proctor for Mr. West now declared, that he proceeded no further. The Counsel for Mr. Edwards now moved thai Mr. West should be condemned in the costs in both Courts, which was opposed at some length by the opposite Counsel. The Court ( Sir JOHN NICHOLL) said, the question was twofold, as relating, first, to the costs in the Court of Appeal, and, secondly, to the costs in the Court helow. The^ Court considers itself bound to condemn Mr. West in the costs of the appeal. The appellant I was under the necessity of coming hither to obtain lhat justice to whieh the Court considers him to be entitled. He, therefore, is to be protected; and the costs of the proceedings must fall on the respondent, at whose instance the proceedings took place; for all things done by a Court are deemed in law to be done at the instance of a party. Hut as to the costs in the Court below, the case is different. Those costs might depend on the main question at issue, as to which question this Court, at the former hearing, certainly threw out an opinion of what would have been the probable result if the case had gone on to proof. IT is not now likely that the merits of the case will ever come before Ibis Court, aud all that the Court can see is, that there was considerable irregu- larity on both sides in the Court below, so that it would perhaps he rather hard to throw all the burthen upon one party. Upon the whole, therefore, Mr. West was con'deinried only in the costs of the appeal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 23. TUP, KING V. MACQUEEN. Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr James Macqueen, attorney of the Court, for an al legeil libel on the Gentlemen who composed the High Peak Special Jury, in Derbyshire. It appeared that the firm of Nicholson and Co", laid chiim to property in certain mines in the county of Derby, ^ nd brought an action against the person then iu possession of them. Upon that occasion the Special Jury before whom ihe cause was tried returned a- verdict for the defendant They brought a second action for the same object, when the Jury again found for the defendant. A report of the trial appeared in two of the Derby Newspapers— the Deiby Mercury and the Derby Re- porter. The report was published on the 10th of November last, and' Mr. Macqueen shortly after ad- dressed a letter to the Editor of the Derby JWerenrt/, desiring him to send a proof of it to- the Reporter for insertion. Mr. Drury, the Editor, sent it accordingly, and the letter appeared in both papers. It stated that the decision of the Special Jury astonished every sensible person, and insinuated tiiat they had found their verdict contrary to evidence. Mr. CAMPBELL now stated that his clients denied, by their affidavit, being actuated by any other motive than an anxious desire to discharge their duty conscientiously, and that they knew nothing whatever of the parties in the cause.— Mr. Justice BAYLEY : — You have stated quite enough, Ml*. Campbell, to entitle you to a rule.— Rule granted. conversant with the Bible we could point to them a dangerous instance, in which the vain- glorious experiment was followed by a choice of three plagues— seven years' famine, three months* flight' before an enemy in pursuit, or three days' pestilence in the land.

LIABILITY OF INSOLVENTS— At the Liverpool Insolvent Court, a short time since, Mr Reynolds, tbe Chief Commissioner, made tbe following remarks in addressing a prisoner; and as great ignorance prevail respecting Ibis act, too much publicity cannot be given to them :—" Nothing improper has been proved against you under ibe Act of Parliament; but recol- lect, that, unless you shall have sworn truly as to your schedule, and uniiss it shall contain a full account of your properly, yon are still liable lo pay the debts which you have contracted, if ever you should have tbe means of paying them ; and 011 your being dis- charged from prison you enter into an agreement lo pay yonr debts. It is in the power of your creditors lo enforce Ihe full payment, if you should ever acquire property ; you may be brought up before the Court wlun they will judge whether you are or are not able to pay your debts out of your then property. This is I be difference between bankruptcy and insolvency It is really astonishing lo see the ignorance which prevails 011 this subject. The insolvents think that they are perfectly clear; and the creditors, that they have no power over them. The great difference be- tween bankruptcy and insolvency, as 1 have already remarked, is this— if a bankrupt receive his certificate, he is for ever discharged from alt bis debts ; but an insolvent, when discharged, contracts at the very instant of his discharge, a liability to pay the debt by a solemn instrument which he signs, and which the creditors have the power of enforcing for ever after. I know lhat these provisions of the Act are not geueially known. The public have quarrelled with the law, a law which they never read, and of whose powers they knew nothing ; and many persons have expressed their astonishment when 1 have pointed out the powers which creditors have, under Ihe provisions of Ihe Act, over the property of the insolvent, even after his discharge. There have, within my know ledge, been many instances in which debts have been paid to the creditors of insolvents without their ever appearing in Court. I have made these observations for Ihe purpose of explaining ihe law 011 Ihis subject, both for the guidance of insolvents aud for the in. formation of creditors generally. ' T he insolvent, although discharged bv due process of law when no fraud has been proved against him, is still liable until Ihe latest period of his life, to pay his debts in full; and creditors have a right lo enforce Ibe pay- ment, if ever the insolvent should have il in his power, in future life, fo liquidate their just claims." iWotfUiinccsts intelligence.

At Hatton Garden on Saturday, John Peacock was charged with stealiwgalarge quantity of law papers, the property ofhis employers, Messrs. Bateman and Saunders. It appeared, that a few days ago, some papers being missed from a box in the office, Messrs. Bateman and Saunders questioned the prisoner, who was their Chancery clerk, as to what had become of them, when he said he would go and fetch them ; but instead of returning, he entirely absented him. self. An investigation then took place, and it was discovered that large bundles of papers, in different causes, had been taken away, and some had been traced to a ham and beef shop. The prisoner was remanded. A FAMILY FROZEN TO DEATH.— On the morning of tbe 10th inst. as Charles Wyndham Downes, Esq. and two other gentlemen, were out on a shooting excursion, about midway between Derby and Ashby- de- la- Zouch, they were attracted to a trian- gular formed hovel, by the unusual barking of their do^ s. During- the preceding- night a deep snow had fallen, which the current had drifted into the hovel to- a cons':<;'- i- able depth. On pushing away an old hurdle which was placed against one of the en- trances, they found the remains of a miserable family, consisting of a man, his wife, and lour children, wh « had ineffectually sought this miserable retreat to shield thein from the pitiless pelting ofthe storm. The ge. itlemen were not appreheusire of the extent of the calamity, until they found that the body of the father was frozen, and close to his breast lay the r emains of his son and daughter, the former about five and the latter about seven years of age. Be. tweeu his knees was the body of a fine boy, about three years of age, and close to his side were extended the remains ofhis wife, with the only sur- vivor, an infant a few months old, vainly endeavour., ing; to draw the current of life from the chilly breasts of its departed mother. Assistance was immediately called, aud the bodies removed to a farm- house at a little distance, but every effort to restore animation proved ineffectual, all of them being dead, except the infant, wbich has survived the whole of its ill- fated family. It appears by a marriage certificate found in the pocket of the deceased female, that their names are John and Elizabeth Horsetail, and were married at Sheffield Oid Church, August 8, 1818. In the pockets ofthe man were found three pence halfpenny, a few religious tracts, and a crust of bread. They were seen begging in the neigh, bourhood of Derby on Sunday evening last.— Derby Chronicle, Jan. 11. On Thursday morning, a lamentable occurrence happened in the course of the Ilelston Hunt. Just before Ihe hounds had brougul the fox to bis death, Captain Gilbert, of Nausloe, endeavouring to outride all persons, made a desperate attempt to leap a hedge too high; bis horse's legs tripped, and he was thrown, and dislocated his nerk. He was about 38 years of age, and bas left an amiable wife and family to deplore his loss — Plymouth Herald. MURDER..— All old man named Joseph Hedley, who resided alone in a collage near Hexham, was found in . his house murdered on ihe 7th ult. It is supposed the murderers thought that he possessed a hoard of money. Though an old man of almost 75, his struggle wilh the murderers must have beeu long and terrible. Forty. four vvound3 were found in various parts of his body, many dreadful ones in his head, and his throat was cut fiom ear lo ear. Blood marka stained all ihe walls, and the floor of his aparfmeut.

SKAITIXG.— A distressing accident has happ? ned on the LakeofLoughreagh, iu the county of Gal way. The Lake was completely frozen during the severity of the late weather. A number of persons went to indulge in the pleasant, though dangerous amuse- ment of skaiting. The ice unfortunately broke at one part of the Lake, aud one young man disap- peared. He soon rose, however, and was seen to struggle for life, when another brave and generous individual, forgetful ofhis own safety, ran to rescue his companion from his perilous situation. Alas! he did not succeed, but he shared the fate of the man whose life he endeavoured to save. Catholic CCurtesies and Curiosities. [ FROM THE DUBLIN MAIL] It is with sorrow we observe the contempt and ridicule into which the Catholic Associations, Old and New, are fast bringing every thing Irish. Already have the Irish heart and Irish eloquence become a bye- word to the nations— an Irish Patriot is now the alias of a furious demagogue— and an honest man would blush to be thought " liberal and enlightened," since the phrase has been mouthed by the " common cry of curs" that are kennelled at the Corn Exchange. Irish hospitality, which, by the bye, was once " a phrase of exceeding good command," is in no less danger of becoming a nay- word to our English brefhren, equivalent to the significant term of a " French compliment." At one of the last meetings of the New Association it was resolved ( in order, we suppose, to secure the absence of the guests invited), that the Grand National Dinner to be given to the sixty- nine liberal and enlightened" Peers, the Bishops of Norvvieh and Rochester, and their other Parlia- mentary friends, should be held on a day when it wili be quite impossible for them to attend, namely, the very day upon which Parliament meets for the dispatch of business! " French thrift, you rogues!" Daniel has been upon the Continent, and learned the economy of entertaining his friends at the cheapest of all possible rates. We dare say his friends are obliged to him— but not much. The Catholics of Drogheda, among their other Resolutions, have returned their most humble and heartfelt thanks to Doctor Curtis, for his gracious condescension— in what, think ye, gentle readers? — in lending them the use of their own chapel to hold a Catholic Meeting. " By day and night, but that was wondrous strange!"— only to think of such gracious condescension! It is absolutely pitiful to see how these Priest- ridden creatures crouch in the dust before the demi- gods of their own creation. The agents of the New Association are actively employed iu taking a census ofthe entire population, Protestants aud ail.
