At ihe 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 fiil 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 Day of Election, when tbe 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 be able to produce the 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 Resolutions be annexed to the Advertise- ment announcing the Election of a Matron for this Infirmary.

Ellesmere and Chester Canal Navigation, Valuable Oak, Ash, and other Timber* Bilious and Liver Complaints. AS a mild and effectual Remedy for all those disorders which originate in a vitiated action of the Liver and Biliary Organs, namely, ' Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Head Ache, Heart- j burn, Flatulencies, Spasms, Cosiiveness, Affections of tbe Liver, & c. & c. DIXON's ANTfBlLlOUS | PILLS have met with more general approval than ' any other Medicine whatsoever.

[ For // is MajestySpeech, see 4.1k page ] T'ne Eiirl VKR. IILAM rose to move an Address ILL reply to the Speech, and in doing so his Lordship briefly ad verted to the several topics there referred to. — Lord SuFFIKLD also briefly seconded Ihe motion. B<> th Noble Peers attributed the late crfsis in the mourcd interests of the country to wild and extrava- If ant speculations, assisted by a great abuse of the privilege of issuing bank notes. Lord KING said the causes of the present embarrass- ments were to be attributed to the Government, in a greater degree to the. Country Banks, and in a still greater degree to the Bank of England monopoly. Government had'prolonged the existence of the £ 1 and £•) notes by allow ing country banks to issue them. Tl? fey had also unwisely reduced the rate of interest on Exchequer bill*, iu ot der to promote a great future re- duction of interest. The Bank of England. had iujevery instance aggravated distress by. its conduct, and if it had not produced, the late crisis, it was au accessary. Ministers were not strong enough to contend with the Bank, ami life feared the Noble1" Lord ( Liverpool) was . not strong enough to carry the measure lie bad talked of last Session for revising the Com Laws. These laws,, he contended, were the most gigantic job ever practised. The Noble Lord concluded by moving an amendment, pledging the House to take the corn laws into consideration al an early period. Earl GKOSVKNOR said he would not support fhe amendment, nor would he say that it was necessary that Lhe question of the Corn LawS should be agitated at present. ; but there were some topics in tbe Speech on which he should make a few observations. He saw nothing in the- state of the country to encourage the Jiope lie. Id out in the Speech. His Majesty relied on the wisdom of Parliament for the protection of public find private credit, by placing on a more firm founda- tion the circulating currency of the country. He bad thought that the currency was established on as firm a foundation as it could be by law; but from this passage in the Speech it. would seem that Ministers contemplated the adoption ( if some measures upon the subject; and if so, the House should be made ac- quainted with those measures, that the greatest possi- ble consideration should be given to them. He considered that' Ministers had not adopted those measures of economy, which alone would enable the country lo look forward with any hope to the effect of the Sinking Fund, and earnestly implored them fo effect every reduction, as the only means of preserving the prosperity of the country. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would not support tbe amendment nor oppose the Address, but he submitted to the Noble Earl'( Liverpool) the expediency of giving some insight into the general character of the measures about to be proposed by Government with regard to the currency. Earl LIVERPOOL did net conceive himself called wp'O'n on the present occasion to enter, upon the consi- deration of the several important points alluded to in h- is Majesty's Speech ; but on a question of so much political interest, he should exhibit no reserve as to the general measures which it might, he the disposi- tion of Government to propose. He would first, how- ever, call their Lordships' attention to the late con- vulsions in die pecuniary transactions of the country. • Those distresses were not, by him at least, tinex peeked- j for he had not merely taken, but created, au opportu- nity of predicting, in the mouth of March lust, that the wild and reckless speculations then' predominant would and must end in rum to- those concerned iu them. The steady peace and overflowing prosperity of the kingdom were the true causes of a high price of stocks,. a, reduced rate, of interest, and a spirit of enterprise, and adventure. The indiscretion thus compromised must find relief for it self, as Ministers had given abundant warning that no sacrifice of the public resources would be made for those who rushed wilfully upon their own peril. This speciilati ve spirit was not confined to the metropolis, but had extended itself throughout the country, under the. encourage- merit given to it by the system of country banks. There was a document within the reach of Minister which fully established the enormous growth of such speculations. He. alluded to the Stamp- office returns, by which it appeared that the stamps issued to ( he country banks during the years 1821- 2- 3 averaged little more than four millions— in 1821 they amounted to six, and in, 1825 to more than eight millions—- so that in the last year they doubled either of the three first- " mentioned ' years.— The measures Ministers would propose for rectifying tbe state of public credit would be - 1st, a gradual withdrawing of small country notes from circulation ; 2d, to break up I he monopoly'of the Bank of England, as far as regards the present restriction upon the number of partners fo be'engaged in country banks. Both these measures were essential to the best interests ofthe country. He had fur some years entertained fhe conviction « w « ! ie country had r.- . . .. imat its concerns were too extensive to allow the exclusive privilege of the Hank of Eug* land. That privilege operated in a most unfortunate manner for the country. Any person, however hum- ble iu life, might open a country bank ; T> fit n TWSV ,> f persons with fortunes sufficient to carry on fhe concern with security were not permitted to do so. The policv of Parliament should be to place all country banks oii a solid foundation, lie believed the greater propor- tion of the country banks were substantial ; but the privilege of the Bank certainly prevented ( he estab- lishment of those which, from the nature of their con- stitution, must be most, solid. The charter to the 13ank would not expire till 1833 ; but if the Bank could be induced to give up so much of their exclusive privilege as related lo country banks, and if thev would accompany that surrender by a measure which he thought would be desirable for fheir* owri sakes— namely, tbe establishment in some parts of the country of branches of their own institution— the effect on the general circulation of the country would, he 1 bought, be most beneficial. He had thus explained the gene- ral nature of the measures which Government would feel it necessary to propose, and the whole question would be the subject of discussion hereafter.— With respect to the subject of the Corn Laws, he had no difficulty iu repeating what he stated last Session— namely, that his opinion was, that, sooner or later it would be highly desirable to revise the general system of the Corn Laws. There was, however, a variety of circumstances to be taken into consideration with regard to time. He had no difficulty in stating, that if. was not his intention, nor that of any member of his Majesty's Government, to briug forward anv proposition with regard to the general question during the present Session. He saw no circumstances con- nected with the present situation ofthe country which rendered it the imperative duty of Government to bring that question under the consideration of Parlia- ment. He bad spoken particularly ofthe general question, because a detached measure with respect to Canada corn, which was passed last year, and would expire in 1827, it might, in his view, be necessary to. reconsider in the course of the present or of the next Session. Upon the point whether it would be expe- dient to review that measure during the present Session, he would reserve himself; but he begged to be distinctly understood, that Government did not consider it necessary to bring forward a general ques- tion in the present session. Earl CARNARVON feared that the prosperity of the country during the last two or three years had depended upon a fallacious foundation. The circulation of stnal I notes had produced good in the first, instance, ami evil afterwards. He would suggest, that if any alteration was to be made in the currency, it should be effected at once rather than gradually. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said it was not, to the cur- rency that it was necessary to look for the origin of the existing embarrassments. In the course, of the last year there bad been a demand on the capital and ! abo ir of the country to the extent of £ 17,000,1) 00. Let any man consider whether the country was capable of an- swering that demand. The distress yvhich was caused at the commencement of tbe late war, by the raising of a loan of only four millions, was nearly as great as that which at present existed. Could the present state ofthe country^ then, be matter of surprise, when a de- mand was made on its labour and capital to the amount of seventeen millions? The evil had arisen from un- wise speculation, and would cease when the cause no longer ope rated.-- The A mend men I was then negatived, and tlic Address was agreed to without a- division* On the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the usual sessional orders were agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned until Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker having read the Speech of the Lords "" Commissioners, Mr. J. STrART WORTLEY rose to move the address* in reply, and in adverting- to the great shock under the effects of which the commercial world is labouring, he said he felt satisfied the crisis was r « fl6?< t, and that there was no, just ground for alarm.— The motion was seconded by Mr. GREENE, Member for Lancaster. Mr. BROUGHAM then rose, and said that he would not oppose the address, though he wished it to be un- derstood, that his acquiescence was only a matter of respectful courtesy, as he bv no means concurred in its spirit, nor by not opposing it, . did he consider himself committed to support its doctrines He was astonished to perceive that the Speech embraced so slight a notion cf ihe distress at present so universally prevailing. From it one might be led to suppose that the public embarrassment, was entirely confined to pecuniary transactions; but for his part he thought differently, and was convinced that distress pervaded our commer- cial interests iii their widest. relations. The silk trade was not the only suffering one. Our manufacturers of wool, cotton, and other materials, laboured under a similar state of depression. He was glad to find it » rered that the distresses which at preseut prevailed did not arise out of those sound, w ise, and liberal prin- ciples which had been sanctioned by Parliament and the Government. He felt it his duty tustate his opinion, that a great prfrt of the distress of the. country was oc- casioned by over- trading ; and he trusted no such dif- ference of opinion would take place in that house on the subject, as would lead to any false or unjust, con- elusions, or delusive expectations out of doors. Upon this point he most fully concurred with Ministers.— Although the Speech stated that Ireland was tranquil and prosperous at ihe present period, he would tell the House that pea( ce was maintained in that island solely by the prospect of relief, and if their appeal for eman- cipation was made in vain to the justice of Parliament, in vain would Parliament expect a continuance of Irish tranquillity. Our commercial relations wills Colombia were . matter of congratulation ; but he trusted that the treaty, witlv Brazil was not an authentic. document, and hoped it had not. been ratified, as it contained; articles from which be strongly dissented. In alluding fo the Bank of England, without meaning to attach blame to individual directors', he had no hesitation in express- ing ftis earnest Wish that the Whole system was at an end, for lie deemed it utterly inconsistent with safety thatany twenty- four men, whether a private club, or a recognised public body under any other designation, should possess such powers as were entrusted to the Directors of the Bank of England over tbe commercial concerns of the natron. In conclusion, . the Learned Gentleman repeated that in agreeing to the address be reserved his right to oppose any of its topics at a future period, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he wished to avail himself of the present opportunity of explain- ing to tiie House the views of his Majesty's Govern- ment respecting the present state of the country. The attention of Parliament had been called to ir in a man- ner the niost marked. Ministers had given it the most attentive consideration, and their desire was that it should receive the earliest attention of the House, in order that such measures may be devised aud carried into effect as will afford relief'fo* the present, and- snp; ply just grounds for expecting that in future'the country may be saved from the recurrence of events so disastrous. At the same time he could not help ob- serving that a very unreasonable outcry had been raised,, for it was beyond question that many of the causes by which the commercial difficulties had been produced were, in , their own nature, inevitable, and far beyond the contronl of any executive Government, as must be obvious to any one who thought proper to give the subject an attentive consideration. It required nut the most moderate acquaintance with the subject to be aware that the operating causes of. those difScul. ties were entirely beyond the controul of the most strenuous exertions which the Government of the country could make, for in tiie circumstances that had arisen, nothing for. their prevention or removal had been left Undone, which could be effected without producing more mischief than sprung out of the exist- ing evils themselves — evils4, which were iu a great degree inherent in every frame of human society.~ After adverting to the StaWp- office returns of stamps issued to the country banks ( as referred to in the Upper House by Lord Liverpool) the House, he said, would not fail to observe in what a short period the supply had risen from four to eight millions, and also vi- ould not overlook its effects— the- raising of prices^ and the excitement of commercial speculation iu an inordinate degree; but these were the least of the ill effects of such a system of banking, as that notes of such an amount should be issued, for they vvere confined prin- cipally, almost exclusively, to the poorer ct; t « * cs, and when, with a large proportion of their paper iu such hands, a bank fails, thousands trpon thousands were left pennyles?. Whatever advantages commerce mav derive from such a system — whatever ad vantages the agricultural interest may enjoy under such a state of the currency— whatever benefits may accrue to the country at. large— whatever real good may arise — whatever apparent good, he would still resist, to the utmost, a state of our currency which kept up the con- tinual risk of consigning to ruin and misery the most helpless class of the community. There wars no possi- ble good sufficient to compensate for such a state of tilings, and therefore he esteemed it indispensable that Parliament should instantly apply itself to the con sideration of some means ofaffordirig adequate security to the humbler classes of the community. At the present moment, the Right Hon. Gentleman continued— 44 it is impossible for oie to . enter into any lengthened detail of the views f entertain on this sub- ject, hut to a certain extent f may at least speak with- out intruding too long upon the attention of the House. My persuasion certainly is, that Ihe process should be gradual, iu order to be ultimately effectual. I cannot conceive how any one can contemplate the immense ex tent of our transactions, without being perfectly satis- fied that the single charter of one company ( tbe Bank of England) i « by no means adequate to the banking purposes of the country at large, especially in those districts remote from the metropolis. In such districts the effect of the exclusive privileges enjoyed by tin Bank of England has been, that banks have sprung up in those places that hnVe proceeded on any tiling rather titan the solid principles of banking. This truth has made so deep an impression on the minds of his- M-_ jesty's Government, that their earn*** whirrs Hot to lose a moment in supplying a remedy, efficient, at least so for as circumstances will permit. Some time ago, uegociafion was opened wilh the Bank of England fu, the purpose of ascertaining to w hat extent that corpora- tion might be induced to forego some portion of its ex elusive privileges. It appeared that ibe Bank would be willing to make the desired concession, provided an extension of iheir charter were granted them for a period often years, in addition to their present term. Their charter will, if not extended, expire in 1833. Tlie com- pensation they required for giving up the necessary portion of their privileges, was, that their charter should be extended to the year 1843. It was felt by Parli ment, and it was no matter of surprise that it should have beeft so felt, that it might have been impolitic thm to prolong the existence of their exclusive privileges. Doubting whether the benefit to be obtained by this advantage would at all compensate for such an evil as a further extension, if. was wisely resolved not to ac quiesce in itf> The Bank Directors had however since, highly to their honour, waved that which they insisted' upon as a sine qva nan before, and consented to submit to the Court of Proprietors upon an early day, an ac- quiescence in the proposition which had heen made to them upon the part uf Government. The result of th... negociation would be, that the Bank of England would he placed on the same footing as that upon which the Bank of Ireland at present stood. By the charter of the Bank of Ireland, it was provided that Country Banks might be established with any number of partners at any distance exceeding fifty miles from the metropolis, while, by the proposed arrangement with the Bank of England, the distance was to exteud to sixty- five miles." After further complimenting the Bank Directors on their conduct, the Right Hon. Gentleman continued— " With reference to the plan for establishing Country Banks with an unlimited number of partners, arid situated at a distance of sixty- five miles, at the least, from London, I wish to say, that at a very early period I shall feel it my duty to submit to Parliamet a plan for that purpose, when the whole may be discussed, and all its details investigated ; but, for the present, it is unnecessary further to enlarge upon the subject. In framing the contemplated measures, bis Majesty's Government, bad not had in view the application of any nostrum or specific which might, perhaps, effect a temporary cure of the evil ; their object was to apply such a remedy as would go at once to the root of the disease, &, effectually prevent the recurrence of difficul- ties similar to those under which the country bad been labouring.— His Majesty in hi* Speech had, in advert- ing to the Revenue, slated, that the revenue of the present year was in as flourishing a condition as that of last year. It would be found, that instead of there being nny exaggeration in this statement, it had in fact fallen far short of the mark, as the revenue of the present had far exceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions which he ( the Chancellor of the Ex. cheqner) dind been induced to form at the close of the last Session. Upon that occasion he had anticipated that the revenue of the year 1825 would be less than that of 1824 by 5 or £ 600,000, added to w hich, he hadr proposed " a repeal of taxes to the amount of £( 500,000 additional. So that by his calculation, if the revenue of 1825 was less than that of 1824 by £ 1,200,000 it would have come up to his ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) calculation. In addition to the direct loss of the revenue, a duty to ihe amount of £ 1,000,000 had been returned to the silk manufacturers upon tlie stock in hand. Not- withstanding all these drawbacks, the revenue of 1825 amounted to that of ihe preceding year within 5 or £ 600,000. Therefore he felt himself borne out in the assertion, that instead of theie being any. exaggeration the Kind's Speech had iu this respect fallen below the mark. After Mr. HUME had made some remarks on the financial state of the country, and Mr. J. SMITH had pointed out the inconvenience which might accrue to country bankers, whom the new measure must affect unless its extent and object were immediately de- clared- Mr. CANNING rose, and stated that tbe inconveni- ence mentioned by the Hon. Member who bad just sat down could not be felt in any very great degree. The Government would not establish, and had it not in its power to establish, banks on the more extended basis. They would form themselves by the surrender of tlie Bank of England monopoly. The more stable portion - of the country banks would still remain, aiid might exteud their business by an accession ofstreno- th or a consolidation of interests with the new establish- ments. The House had only three alternatives ; either to continue the present system unchanged— to recom- mend branch establishments of the Bank of England — or take advantage of the relaxation of the Bank char- ter, to form chartered baukiug companies, which might become rivals of the existing establishments* or amalgamate with them, as the interests of the parties might dictate.— In reply to the question asked by the Hon. and Learned Member ( Mr. Brougham) respecting the treaty with Brazil, the Right Hon. Gentleman declared that he concurred in bis objection to the article to which he had alluded> and added, that the convention bad not been ratified and was not in- tended to be ratified, and that the Brazilian Govern- ment bad been apprised of this intention.—- The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by announcing that no measure was in contemplation this Session for making anv alteration In tire Corn Laws. Mr. HUSKISSON was satisfied that the measure pro- posed by Government would tend to the general bene- fit of the public; and entered into some general re- marks further explanatory of the views of Ministers. Mr. DMMAN regretted to h'ear that the subject of the Com Laws was to sleep for another Session. He still trtiSCed, however, that something would be done to modify those law's, which fell so heavily upon the labouring classes.^— After some remarks from Mr. Baring, Mr. Grenfell, Mr. Alderman Wood, Sir J. Wrottesley, Mr. H.- Gurnej, and Mr. Robertson, the question' was put from the chair, and carried nem. diss. —• The usual Committee was then appointed to prepare and present the Address, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. The SPEAKER intimated that the 17th of February would be the last day on which tbe House would recei ve Petitions or Private Bills : the 13th of March the last day for the moving of Private Bills; and the 1st of May the last day on which the report of these Bill would be received. Mr. WHITMORB complained of the postponement of the consideration of the Coi n Laws by Ministers, and pledged himself to bring forward the subject at an early period of the Session.— Mr. Cufcw. EN declared that the present was no fit season for the agitation of this important subject. Sir C. FORBES called the attention'of the House to the Burmese war, which he described as equally w& nton and perilous.— Mr. C. WYNN described the yvar as dW tensive and unavoidable; he held' out the strongest promises of its successful issue, and vindicated gene- rally the wisdom of Lord Amherst's administration. Mr. HUTCHINSON- expressed, himself dissatisfied at the omission of a promise of Catholic Emancipation in the King's Speeeh ; be acknowledged the growing- prosperity and the tranquillity of Ireland, but ascribed 1 the latter to the hope which the Roman Catholics en- tertain, of favour from the present Parliament. Sir THOMAS LRTHBRIDGB, in a speech of some length and great ability, defended the Corn Laws, and de- monstrated the absurdity of attempting to regulate the price of food, or anv other price, until the currency of the country should be placed upon a secure basis. The Address- to his. Majesty, on his Speech, was then agreed to, and ordered to be, presented by such Mem- bers ofthe House as were of his Majesty's most honour- able Privy Council, The CHANCEM. OR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that on Friday next he Would found amotion upon the acquiescence of ihe Bank in the proposal of Government, ( ratified by the Court of Proprietors this day), to sur- render a part of its existing monopoly. mjz Salopian ' journal.

In the year 1818 William Eddowes was threatened by John Wat inthe Editor of the Shrewsbury Chronicle, with ( tit Action, for i, mtriing an article relative to the disgraceful Anonymous Letters sent from Shrewsbury to some ofthe most respectable Inhabitants of Welsh Pool; but this threat, for reasons best known to John W atton, was not carried into execution.

SIR, The Letter signed " C."' introduced into the columns of the Shrewsbury Chronicle of Friday last, was no doubt read by yourself with the same indignation and abhorrence as appears so strongly to have manifested itself in every quarter to which it has forced its debasing presence. Before, however, I proceed to comment on that letter, I ought fo make an apology to Mr, John Watton, the Editor, Printer, and Publisher oi the Shrewsbury Chronicle, for suffering any part of my attention to be diverted from him to any other object. I feel and know 1 am not justified in so doing, nor is it compatible with the duty that I owe to the public or to myself. For a little while, however, 1 must leave him, leave him to that reriiorsfc of tonsfcience, to that self- abhorrence, which cannot but uow be preying upon his vitals and goading- him to'the grave, when he reflects that his folly and his character are so publicly known, and that his conduct has rendered him so amenable to public censure and reproach. Private vices, however detestable, savs Junius, " have not dignity sufficient to attract the censure of the Press, unless they are united with the power of doing some signal mischief to the community V The Cditor of the Chronicle's intentions, therefore, accord with his situation; it was that which in- duced me to' enter the lists with him; it was that which is so rapidly accelerating; his downfall which day after day i$ making such palpable ravages on his constitution; but which, I trust, will not carry him prematurely to " the land of his forefathers," till he has expressed his ardent contrition and given an unequivocal public atonement. As regards the letter of u C." it would not, in my opinion, be deserving of notice, if it did not contain assertions— base, villainous, diabolical assertions, which call for contradiction- I also know the public will not be satisfied with my silence; that an Answer will be expected from me; and that, if I refused to plead, it would be taken for conviction. 1 should act inconsistently with the principles 1 profess, if I declined an appeal to the good sense of the public, or did not willingly submit myself to the judgment of my townsmen. I confess ft is painful to write on such a topic; but the security of the community from a repetition of such base and diSholioiirabie attacks, requires and demands exposure— nay more, requires the execution of this skulking assassinator of character, which to Man, in the. dignified sense of the word, is more valuable than existence. At such a crisis as this, it is not the cause of one individual, or of the many, but of every man in Britain, ft embraces in its object . ths grand consideration, whether you shall be libelled with impunity, traduced without desert, and your character assassinated by a base, skulking', 1 cold- blooded, deliberate Bravado, or whether you shall trans- mit it to yoiir posterity Chaste, fair, and unsullied. These are strong epithets, and I wish not to qualify them; they emanate from a mind that knows not what it is to fear, and may they sink deep into the heart to which they are hurled with detestation and abhorrence. The love of reputation, Mr. Editor, was implanted in our natures for tbe wisest and noblest end; few, very few, possess that unenviable magnani- mity which can render them indifferent, to public opinion, or are so sunk in the apathy of vice, as to feel no melody in the sound of deserved applause. To the candour of the public I therefore commit myself and rOy actions; I ask no praise but the praise of meaning well; I fear no censure but that, which must arise from a consciousness of voluntary error or neglect. Awed by no rank, proof against every intrigue, and above all the pitiful machinations of my enemies, I will stand like a rock of adamant, and sustain the measures I have commenced against all the lies of calumny that malice can dictate or deliberate villainy devise. My public conduct hitherto has, I am happy to know, been universally applauded, except by a few individuals, whose censure would be considered eulogy, and whose panegyric would be accredited crime. Standing- forward as the strenuous advocate of the public rights, 1 would not do that which my conscience tells me is wrong upon this occasion, to gain the huzzas of thousands, or the daily praises of all the Papers which issue from the Press; and I would fiot avoid doing what I think is right, though it should, rifaw on . me the whole artillery of libel, all that, falsehood and malice can invent, or the credulity of the deluded may swallow. This has been threatened; many anonymous letters have been received; but whoever the writers are, they take'. the wrong way to divert me from my duty, which I shall do unawed. On this point I. have set my mind at rest. The last end that can happen to any man, never comes too soon, if he fall in support of the law and liberty of his country; for liberty, says Lord Mansfield, is synonymous with law and government. Who the author of the Letter signed " C.,< is I am at a loss to imagine. It has been attributed to many, and among the rest, to Mr. Watton. But I will do him, even that individual, the justice to say, that I do not, will not believe it. No: I do not think he is at present so sunk in mental apathy- - become so torpid in feeling— that his heart is yet so ossified— his mind quite so imbruted, as to be the author of such a base and execrable composition-- so false, so unfounded. But whoever he is, I dare him here, nay i call upon him iti the name of Englishman, to cast away the hiding cloak of his cowardice, and to stand forward and prove his assertions, not only as regards the insinuations on a worthy Magistrate, but as relates to every individual by him alluded to If he has one spark of honourable feeling, anv idea of dignified or generous conduct, he will throw off the mantle of his dayk- hess, and I sw^ ar by all that is just and holy, by the hell he merits, I'll prove him both a coward and a liar, and never leave him till Editor, the malice of this " C " which, T preiume, standi either for calumniator or coward, by the paltry and despicable plausibility which he exerts to justify himself in pitching upon an individual Magistrate as the person who sent tbe £ i with tbe letter He says, " Surely Justicia, that is, « The Jus- tice,' never designed his alleged present of £ b to encourag ® malice;" when this calumniator must have well known, that the letter he alluded to was signed " JusTlTlA"- - Justice. At all events, it either proves him a fool or a knave,- - he probably would find himself quite at home with either! He then goes on to state, that my coneuct has been brutal to women-- that I have been kicked by men in Shrewsbury— that I was whipped out of my lodgings on Cross- Hill by tt woman-- and that, in consequence, 1 now ( O delicate expres- sion!) " pig with my he- companion at Waterloo Cotfsge."—. And last, though not least, of this strange, eventful history, that I have been, for improper conduct, turned out of my late employer's service. To the first and second charge 1, there - fore, dare this calumniator to the proof; to the third he will receive a public refutation in another part . of- your Paper, which would alone blast all his other assertions; the i. mtendo of the fourth is too contemptible, though execrable, t* notice; and the last, even the Editor of the Chronicle must have known was both false and iniquitous, because the Deputy Recorder must have informed him, that the reasoa why 1 wished to try the indictment at the last Session was, because I theu expected to go to London in the course of month, and wished it settled before 1 went; and for that purpose had requested the Gentleman alluded to to assign me to one of the first offices in London, where 1 have beei* offered three of the greatest in distinction Let this calumni. ator apply to that Gentleman, and he will furnish him with a* answer,— yes!-- even the Editor of the Chronicle might receive it, It would be, " Get thee hence, Satan " WM.

" He falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again." If not, remember, whoever thou art--- plebeian or patrician— " TomThumb" or Giant Despair--- the whole country will think thee, stamp thee coward— a most scandalous coward, spiritless, void of honour— " A wretched, base, false, worthless coward." But let me ask; Mr. Editor, why was this letter written; and what probable motive dictated such insidious and detest- able attacks? Did it not arise from envy, from a desire to prevent the token of my townsmen's approbation being presented to me, and, by consequence, indelibly stigmatizing the character and motives of a man who issmarting under a lash, which the infirmity of his temper cannot prevent him evidencing to the world? No doubt: for envy, to use the words of a great, moralist, " is so base and detestable, so vile in its original, and so pernicious in its effects, that the predomi- nance of almost any other quality is to be preferred. It is one of those lawless enemies of society, against which poisoned arrows may honestly be used. It is mere unmixed and genuine evil; it pursues a hateful end by despicable means; and desires not so much its own happiness, as another's misery. While it lies concealed within tbe breast, it injures only the breast in which it rankles; but let him who indulges it reflect, that he is nurturing a viper, which, when sufficiently warmed, will sting him to the soul; and that he is treading ou the verge of actual transgression: for it requires no deep knowledge of the workings of the human heart to know, that where the mind is so tainted, and the malignant passions so cherished, anjr additional stimulus which- may be given to them from the perpetually clashing interests of society, and a thousand other causes which are daily turning up in the life of every man, may, before he is aware, hurry him over the threshold of innocence to the actual commission of actions which may destroy his tranquillity for ever,-- and for which a • life of sorrow and regret may not be able sufficiently to atone." The above observations occurred to me in reading a letter signed 41 ANOTHER FRIEND TO SOCIETY," which I acci- dentally found in turning over a file of Papers of a little more respectable character than the Shrewsbury Chronicle, the readers of which last Print were not a long time ago insulted with an advertisement that would have disgraced even 44 the hell of a brothel." This letter elicits so tangibly and de- i finitely the characteristics arid motives of the writers of base anonymous letters, that it stamps on them'a more indelible mark of infamy and disgrace than was ever branded on the face of any malefactor. It is written with all the fire of Junius— it possesses all the dignity of Mansfield, and the elegance of Garrow— it pours forth all the energy of a virtu- ous Ciceronian mind in vivid indignation against the authors of such base and malignant fabrications, while it holds up to obloquy and contempt, the baseness of the mind and the blackness of the heart that produced them. But hitherto, Mr. Editor, I have attacked the letter of " C." upon principle, and demonstrated him detestable. I will now descend to particulars, and see if I cannot prove him both a coward and. a liar, and teach him to know that the public are hot to be insulted and traduced with impunity; that it is not to stand and crouch under every testy humour; that he will too soon find the truth of —— Manus htec, inimica tyrannis Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietam. lie first claims from the Editor's justice, on behalf of himself, and, as he affirms, a large portion of respectable inhabitants, a small space in the Chronicle, for the purpose of expressing disgust at my character. In answer to this, there appears every indication on the behalf of those inhabitants, of giving- an indelible token of their approbation. - Is disgust, Mr. Editor, evinced in the same manner and actuated by the same feelings as commendation? He next introduces a worthy Magistrate in the most contemptible and odious light, as* a man devoid ( by innuendo) of the common feelings of humanity— as a man who, either through malice. or other equally unworthy motive, has prosti- tuted his sacred magisterial office, and who has now come forward under the mask of " Justitia" to encourage one whom 44 C. ' pleases to call 44 A Miscreant;" an appellation certainly complimentary when it proceeds from an anonymous letter writer. No! no! if I judge aright of the character of the Magistrate alluded to," he is not the man who, if he thought my conduct was deserving of approbation, would crouch beneath the signature of 41 JUSTITIA," and not 44 Justicia," as stated bv 44 C." If that Magistrate has erred, he is amena- ble to the laws of his country; and let 44 C." or the Editor of the Shrewsbury Chronicle take the same manly and war- rantable, and, I will say, to an enemy, generous steps that 1 have taken to bring Mr. Watton before the tribunal of his country, in order that he might have a trial by his peers, and be punished or acquitted on the merits of his alleged delin- quency. These would have been fair and dignified proceed- ings; they might, if substantiated, have been applauded by the country, and the prosecutor deservedly entitled to a Cup, to drink Reform to Magisterial Oppression; while, on the other hand, the artful ana laborious pains, and the measures that have been taken to disgrace and vilify the Magistracy, are entitled to, and are justly met with, general contempt and abhorrence. For my own part, I am only sorry that the Magistrate has not taken some decided step to stop the insidious attacks and insinuations of his traducers. Think not, Mr. Editor, that I wish to be his apologist: no such thing. I wish to be the apologist of no man. I regret it merely, because silence may by many be considered guilt, and such aspersions on men of family and honour are too gross and important to be allowed to pass by with silence and contempt. He then affirms, that " surely " Justicia" never designed his alleged present of £ 5 to encourage malice." Malice, Mr. Editor! Was it malice that induced me not to press for the Editor of the Chronicle being brought before the Deputy Recorder by warrant, when he entered into his recognizance to appear and plead to the indictment at the subsequent Sessions? Could that be termed malice, which gave the. same Editor a trial by his townsmen, and allowed him, at least by consequence, three months to abate the nuisance? A nuisance which has been reprobated by every Grand Juryman before whom the Bill of Indictment was preferred, and which has been declared upon solemn oath to be a most unwarrantable encroachment on the Public Right by two of the late Mayors of Shrewsbury, another of whom has publicly declared 1 was deserving of the public thanks, and for one he should not hesitate to give them me? Could that be called malice, Mr. Editor, which would induce the present Mayor to declarev that my conduct in this business was very proper and fair, and who declared it as his opinion, that 1 was entitled to the Precept t » reiastate tht tid footway!

Mrs. Bowman, Priory A gentleman travelling through Shrewsbury, aud having occasion to stay a few hours waiting for « coach, went to see a show situated in the Market- place: when, to his great astonishment, the moment he entered he was saluted by a monkey, who clung tit him, and set up the most piteous cry, so that th* people tb- ougbt he was being killed: but that wasr not the case; for it appeared he was overjoyed i » consequence of meeting with his old master, who, ens looking stedfasfjy at the little creature, found it to be no other than his old favourite monkey, whom he ha< l parted with some time ago for hurting one of his children ; but the parting scene was the worst, for when the man enchained him, and asked which master he liked best, he clung to his old one, to tlm great entertainment of all present, and it was witfe difficulty that a separation was effected. Case of Horrid and Brutal Atrocity / In giving the following outline of a case of unheard., of aud unnatural cruelty, we suppress the names amfr residence of the parties, as the case, we understand, is in a train of legal investigation— A brother aud sister, named ***** reside al **••* » * in the county of Stafford, near the northern border of Shropshire: their father died about 15 years ago; he left seven children, four sons and three daughters ; one of the sons was, unhappily, an idtot. The father, by his will, bequeathed to the brother aud sister, the sum of £ 1500, in trust, the interest thereof to be applied to the maintainancc, in the most comfort- able manner his unfortunate situation would admit, of his deranged child. Immediately after the death of the father ( as is alleged) the poor idiot was locked up in a small dark room in the house, where he was daily fed like a swine through a small aperture iu the wall, for a series of years! About eleven years ago the brother and sister gave it oul lhat their unfortunate brother had died, and was buried, at a distant place ; and in consequence the family went into mourning for him !— The brother and sister then originated and spread a report that their house was haunted, in order todeter persons from visiting il. However, a servant girl, a parish apprentice, and who had been wilh them 14 years, left them a few days ago, and went into the service of a Ma gislrate in the neighbourhood j she communi- cated Ihe circumstances we have detailed to the aer. vants there, and Ihey informed their master, wh » look immediate steps for Ihe elucidation of this bar. barons ali'air— The Gentleman wilh a constable went lo the house and requested admittance; this being refused, they burst open Ihe door, and found that the unfortunate object of their search was iu his place of total darkness! Ihey procured a light, and then dis. covered Ihe miserable victim of atrocious penury crouching in a corner of the room ; hair had grown all over him to the Length ( as is saidj of 3 or 4 inches i he was bccome quite deformed, and shrunk to I it ( lo more than a yard in height! though, when his father died, he was in person a well made and lull youiijj man. Blankets were procured to place him in, hut when the constable went lo wrap them round Ihe unfortunate being, he sprung at him and bit him on the check, at the same lime making a horrible but unintelligible noise He was, however, brought down stairs, placed in a cart, and conveyed lo Ihe Stafford- shire Lunatic Asylum, where he al present remains.

Con* AVERAGES— i- We learn by an official letter from the Corn Returns Office, that the returns of Corn," which form the' Averages regulating tho importation of Foreign Corn, will continue to be made by the Winchester bushel. This is an act of justice to the Farmer. The Lord Chancellor lias appointed J. S.

Sikes and, Co. of Huddersleld, suspended its payments oil Friday. The d. str? ss consequent upon the event is described as most severe. , A serious riot has taken place at Norwich, th< s origin'of which appears to have been the jealousy t'elt at the employment of country wavers b the manufacturers of that city. TIT.' rioters attacked the counting- houses and warehouses of several mannfjeturers, and were proceeding to acts of stilt greater violence, from which they were only de- ferred by the calling out of the military in aid of tbe civil power, BIRMINGHAM.— We are happy to say that a statement of the affairs of the lite bankiur fir. n of Gibbins, Smith, and Co has b- en published, by which it appears, that after liquidating in full ail claims on the firm, there will be a surplus of more than i' 114,000. The Boroughr'eevp and Constables of Manchester have declined to call a meeeting ofthe inhabitants for the purpose of expressing their opinions on the subject of Negro Slavery. The Inhabitants ofthe populous parish of St. J tmes, Bristol, have agreed to petition Parliament for a repeal ofthe Assessed Taxes. The rumour that the Ministers intend to forward the business of the Session of Parliament, so as to finish it by the end of May, preparatory to a dissolu- tion, ( rained support on Friday evening, from the circumstance of all the Pubiic Accounts having already been ordered, and from fixing the last day for Reports on Private Bills for ay 1. Last Session it was May 30.' There has been published an interesting re- monstrance to an Irish Roman Catholi • Bishop, oa the part of his flock, on the hostility of the infallible church to education and the scriptures.

It is some satisfaction to be able to say that, ex- cepting the depression of our glove and leather manu- factories, the cause of w hich is so apnareiit, business here has yet proceeded without any failures of moment, and although n dulnesa must now be said to pervade it, it in no great degree exceeds that customary at Ihis period of the year. Amongst our agricultural community also, notwithstanding their produce ia somewhat on the decline in price, there is an evident soundness and favourable condition which lead ns to hope that matters are not, generally speaking, so bad as seems to be feared — There have been of lale several public sales of farming stock and other per. sonal effects, as well as of estates in this vicinity, and we have it from those entrusted wilh their disposal, that for each description of property there has been no lark of competition, and it has fetched a price little, if any, below tbe average of the- Aal twelva months — Worcester Herald. In Macclesfield, during the week, a most extensive establishment iu the silk trade has suspended payment, and the confusion and dismay occasioned bv ibis event are, we believe, without a parallel in the annals of Ihat town.

We are happy to learn that there have been, this week, some symptoms of amendment in business. The demand for cotton twist has certainly improved, as has also, we are told, that for some descriptions of manufactured goods In Liverpool, too, there has been a good Inquiry for cotton wool, and somewhat higher prices have been obtained. In this town, there have been a few small failures during the week, but none to a great amount; rumours, it is true, have not been wanting ; they have related, however, rather to the state of affairs in other places than in ibis.— Manchester Guardian of Saturday. A Mr. Chapman was tried on tbe 28ih nil. before lite Royal Court of Guernsey, for the murder of a person named Brown, in whose house he resided. Tbe Court found him guilty of the murder, but admitted a plea of insanity— the consequence of which is, that he will remain iu confinement at Guernsey until the pleasure of the King as to Ills fuluie disposal of him shall be known. THE LATE ROBBERIES— A discovery has been made this week by Mr Hilling, of Salfnrd, which, besides shewing the facility with which the gang of housebreakers that have lately infested this neigh- bourhood have disposed of the fruits of their dis- honesty, is likely fo lead to their detection.— On Tuesday last, whilst at Liverpool, he discovered a general depfit for stolen property; on which he pro- cured the assistance of the Police officers, and secured the wholesale receiver, wilh an immense quantity of the plate lately stolen in this neighbourhood in lis possession, and an abundance of s lks. & c.

But ah! the plagues that mighty man inlbral : With all our fuss, We find the Muses will not always fall In love with us. LO! HAL, wilh all his mentals straining,. Whether iu merry humour or complaining, Could never coax his stubborn lyre One melting murmur to inspire. Poor Bard! what tricks his Muse would play with hltn, To gratify her wild, untoward whim : Now dull as Death ! In her next effort would she flounce away, ( Turning some worn- out: jfcst into a lay,) Till out of breath!'— As sunbeams in November's gloomy season, So through his misty verse shot gleams of reason ! HAL was in love, and oft he pour'd his soul To her who held him under soft controul. Have ye ne'er heard the Ditty hecouipoe'd When tyrant Love first haile him fondly linger? Or that sad Elegv his Muse disclos'd, When fair LUC'H. LA cut her little finger? O then, to make of happiness your sum, " Ye have two matchless luxuries to come !

His Ballad o'er, " uow judge my Work," he cries, " A female Critic scarcely can offend : " Scarce lives a Bard but my poor Muse belies : " Speak, speak, my Love, on you I may depend" — " Oh ! HAL," she cries, " now don't offended be, " Your Zeiss was sweeter than your Poutry.'" + t own, whose points were very conspicuous. He was a bold rider — never seeming to have the least fear of breaking his neck. He had a rarmint- like looking phiz, black muzzled, and scarified with the small- pox. He mounted his rostrum at differ- ent country fairs, selling " Brummagem ware— a long shilling's worth," as lie termed it — razor, knife, scissors, and spoon, with a variety of other articles. Dickey gave them, into the bargain, a deal of words : he was a wit, and it was frequently sharper than bis razors. He was well off for mouth, and he would shew the gaping crowd the use of the spoon with such excellent grimace, that the old women would exclaim, " What a funny man!— 1 wool have a shilling's worth, that I wool." I doubt whether even Grimaldi could have mouthed them out of a shilling so easily. A bag- fox was turned out before the late Mr. Pigott of Edgmond's harriers. Dickey was oue amongst them, and in taking afcnce a briar caught his faceyand scratched it from mouth to ear : the blood flowed plentifully; lie looked as if his head was half separated ; aud when returning from the chase be would put on a very rueful countenance. When any one ap- proached him, " Bless me, Dickey, how has that dreadful gash happened?"—" That danui'd fellow, Will, the huntsman, in his under- hand work ifl cutting off the brush, while 1 was supporting a pad, slipt his knife into my mouth, and has niatle an opening to my ear!" round SHREWSBURY. ELEGY, WRITTEN AT BATTLEFIELD. [ From Mr. ITutbert's Musem of the tVorld.\ While o'er yon hill day's latest halo dies, And points a moral in the wane of time : Mv sombre thoughts in- twilight sadness rise, As slow I trace the scene of death and crime. The evening hell, which dirges sadly o'er' The fallen warrior's low unbonour'd bed, With solemn cadence seems this lonely hour, To peal its requiem o'er the valiant dead. The uiiirmiiriug winds, which o'er the v alley sweep, Their spirits seem, upon their wings sublime, Rising in death once more to view and weep The ruthless rigour of the hand of time. And when around the rifted, tottering tower, And through its locks of ivied age they rave, Fancy invokes her mighty spell ot power, To break the sacred silence of ( he grave. Swift o'er the mind the years of contest rise. Which made the .- age of history blush w ith gore, ' Till tears of pitying sadness fill ( beeves, Aud wake the visions ofthe days of yore! Deep in this field of undistinguished grav- es,. Mark'd hy yon ancient sacred- pile alone, Where the sad yew's impervious foliage waves;-. The dark memorial of the ages gone. The warriors sleep, n ho, in those eras past, Wielded on high the lilood encriuisou'd sword, Who when they heard the martial trumpet's blast,. Replied with murder, ( 0 its dread watchword. Here rest th' unaching heads, which dreamt of fame, And madly dreaming, fought, despising death ; But ah ! forgot ten is their once lov'd name, And faded lies the enlaurelled soldier's wreath ! Ye chiefs, who like the streamers of the north, ltla/.' d lo augment the beams of Percy's star, Where sleeps the lire that kindling drew ye forth, And Ind in fame the dark alarms of war. O Hotspur! word of terror and dismay, Where waves thy flag? where foams thy courser now? Was fortune faithless as thy sword that day ? Is time less erring than thy deadly blow i Ah bravest Douglas ! Caledonia's son, Thy day of bright, unclouded life is o'er ; No wound's can pain — no valiant feats he done, Thy lofty plumes shall proudly wave no more! Thou kingly chief! 011 whom did triumph's sun Its noonday splendour lighten on this heath, The meteor halo of thy name is gone, And gloom succeeds tbe w asted lamp of death. Young Prince of Monmouth ! conquering planet here, Whom Percy's armies found a stubborn fort, Art thou too sleeping— thou who scatter'dst fear O'er all the nations, from thy Agincourt! Yes, with their fame, the world's wide regions rung, Its echo sunk in medal, verse, and bust; Now, ali the deathless glory, that was sung, Is ruin, ashes, elegy, and rust! As blest their vassals! the oblivious brave, By bard unsung, by fame unhonoured uow, Repose as calm in their promiscuous grave, Though wondering liatians cherish not their woe! Forlo! the clung of victory, war,, and fame; The Titan prowess, struggling for the crown : The Henries', Percies,' and the Worcester*' mime, Have lost their claim to reverence and renown ! The soldiers' wounds have ceased to throb and flow; The chieftain's voice to lead the desperate charge, The shout of victory, aud the yell of woe ; " Esperance Percy,'''' and the loud " at. George.'" In fruitful peace the fields of horror beam ; Through sculls and graves the plough pursues its path : Oft doth the swain their arms from rust redeem, And reap life's harvest with the blades of death ! And may the meads, where pranced the horse of war, Long hy the peaceful team alone be trod ; Heaven, shed thy storms from each malignant star ; But steep not Britain in her children's blood ! Ye fields! ye hills! which witness'd and returu'd War's various tones, the clangour of their arms, As cleft by many a sanguine stream ye mouru'd The fatal triumph of Belinda's charms : Ne'er may ye teem agaiiuwith British blood, Nor weeping gore be shook again iu fight; May Discord dwell beyond the ocean's flood, And Pcace round Albion hold her shield of light! Jlut that thy peerless genius, Shakspeare, throws A spell around each tale thy powers enwreath, Virtue could mourn, that fame eushiines their woes, Aud blame the hand that rescued them from death ! Baneful, yetbright, ador'd though ditnm'd with crime, Their fatal starlight fills the soul of youth ; • Their horrors vanish in thy praise sublime ; Ambition scorns the simple garb of truth. But yet oblivion, though she proudly spread Fast Iter darkcurtain o'er the peaceful wise, Spares most the worthless and rebellious dead, While modest virtue undistinguished dies! — A HINT. Most Country Members, with very many others give Plates; some subscribe their ten guineas to Cup Races; and others make additions to Subscrip- tion Purses, as part of their* public duty, in order to promote sport at the several Meetings within their counties. All this is done from a good motive ; but is it, I ask, productive of the public benefit the plan I am about to suggest would pro- duce— viz. the promoting a superior breed of hunters, and other useful horses? A general election is near at hand. Let only a Clerk of the Course, or other sporting man, jump on the hust- ings, either 011 the day of nomination, or that of the return, and say, " 1 trust that you, with the other Members returned by this county, will sub- scribe a one hundred guinea Purse ( as many more as the modesty of the party thinks fit to name), to be run for annually by three- year old colts ( four- year olds I should prefer), not THOROUGH- BRED, AND BRED IN THE COUNTY"— Is there a man returned to Parliament would say NAY fo this trifling request! All would be doing good— pro- ducing as much, if not more sport than their pre- sent donations ; and tbe public would then know where to go and look for a good young horse.

Spotting Mimuimcenre. [ From the Sporting Magazine.] Some years ago ( perhaps twenty), a character, yclept " Dickey the Auctioneer," was well known in the counties of Salop, Stafford, and Warwick, as a sportsman, aud likewise for his eccentricities. He was frequently seen in the different hunts in those counties, where he was always welcome; he rode in scarlet and cap, upon a horse generally lent to him by some gentleman for the day— although he mostly possessed a bit of blood ef bis The peace obtained by the persevering exertions of this country continues in general to bless the civilized nations of tlift worftl, nor is there any im- mediate likelihood of lis being disturbed ; yet vari- ous events have occurred since the close of the last session, which can scarcely, we think, fail to call forth questions of high moment affecting the foreign polity of the empire. And if is almost needless fo add, since every one feels, that many domestic ob- jects and arrangements of the very first importance must press without delay upon the anxious attention of the legislature. We have said that we cont'efrpfat'e no immediate interruption of the general tranquillity; but we by no means close our eyes to the incessant working of many elements of future convulsion among some of the nations of the continent of Europe. Let us hope that the governments of these countries may have the wisdom and the power to comprehend the ne- cessitiesof the times, and fo comply with whatthese demand cautiously and deliberately, But fairly, honestly, and firmly. Let us hope that gradual re- form may be called in to avert, for it alone can do so, the curse of Revolution. This hope may well be encouraged by the contemplation of what has already been done. Saxony, Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Sweden, the Netherlands, and France, are all at this moment in the enjoyment of constitutional governments- governments by which the proper objects ofpolitical rule are distinctly avowed— in all of which the prin- ciple ofthe representative system is acknowledged, and, though under different modifications of form and degree, acted upon. There seems to be 110 reason to doubt that the good works which have been commenced iu these countries will go on aud prosper. That any considerable parts of the great and highly intellectual German nation should be in these days governed as they are, is certainly a matter alike of wonder and regret; but that some of them can continue to be so much longer, we are sure no rational person either in Germany or in England believes. Our own conviction is, that the princes now at the head of these governments, are thoroughly persuaded of the necessity of some change, and that their personal wishes are all on the side of the hap- piness of their people. An obstinate, bigoted, aud almost absolute knot of aristocracy is, we have no doubt, the only real enemy to freedom in the Ger- man dominions ofthe upright and amiable Emperor of Austria. Foreign influences alone, we are equally persuaded, have prevented the King of Prussia from fulfilling, long ere now, the promises which he un- questionably made to his subjects, both before and after the conclusion ofthe war.— France, as a nation, is quiet, flourishing, contented, and of course pacific. M. de Villele has failed, apparently, for the present, in some of his financial schemes, but his general character is unimpeachably respectable; and, above all, were he removed to- morrow, there is no party, nor conjunction of parties in France, which could possibly furnish another administration iu any de- gree effective or lasting. The secret history of the late extraordinary oc- currences in Russia still remains obscure, and may probably do so for a considerable time to come. Twelve years ago it was no secret that Constantine bad, at the period of bis second marriage, renounced formally his right of succession to the throne. At that time, without doubt, this prince wasuniversally unpopular. His youth had been dissolute in the ex- cess— he had shocked Ihe feelings of a people by no means either over- moral 01- over- refined. And here the solution ofthe state policy in procuring his re- nunciation was popularly found. The formation of ames- alliancc was considered as having furnished the pretext. Many changes, however, had taken placein Ihe interval between Constat! tine's marriage and the death of Alexander. The Grand Duke had, by the propriety of his married, and the prudence of'liis political life at Warsaw, obtained forgiveness, almost oblivion, for the earlier incidents of his career. He had recovered his character; his talents had always been considered much superior to those of either of his brothers; and, above all, he enjoyed the reputation of having- throughout protested against the submission of the Russian counsels to the influence of Vienna. Under these circumstances there is no doubt that, most of the Russians scattered over France and England expected to hear of Constantine's ascend- ing, in spite of the aid act of renunciation, the vacant throne ; and the event sufficiently shews that the contrary opinion was not universally received at home. Nicholas, however, is Emperor. Did Con- stantine really, as some say, prefer tbe private life? or was there, as others assert, a sufficient political cause for his adhering to the arrangement he had made with the late Czar? The late Emperor had declined in popularity; aud two reasons are, appa- rently with justice, assigned fortius— namely, the jealousy of the nobles, excited by the system of the military colonies, which was held as designed, and as well calculated, to make the crown too inde- pendent ; and secondly, the adoption of Austrian counsels, more ( specially in regard to the subject ofthe Greek insurrection. We all know what the views of Catharine were when she gave Constantine the name he bears. He was suckled by a Greek nurse; the Greek language was the first he spoke; his companions and immediate attendants have been, almost without exception, Greeks up to tbe present hour. But the unhappy matter of the divorce may have neutralized the clergy, wbs * f eeurag have been throughout violent advocates of the Greek cause; and without their support this Prince may have dreaded to rely on the predilection even of a powerful majority both among the nobility and the troops. A few weeks ago we should have had little hesitation in saying that the protracted anarchy among the leaders of the Greek insurgents, had at length utterly and irretrievably ruined their cause. The Porte had resorted to its old system of policy, in bribing a disagreeably powerful satrap to fight its battles; and the appearance of the Egyptian invaders entirely changed the prospects of the war. The Pacha had money, and energy, and numbers— and he bad also an infinite superiority of discipline on his side. His forces had spread themselves over the country like a cloud of their own locusts, and were laying if bare to its inmost recesses. The Greeks seemed to have lost all rational hope, except what might be found in the retention of a few fortresses-— one of which certainly might be con- sidered as impregnable. In the mean time, it is now no secret here, that in spite of all difficulties, a very formidable naval force had been prepared in North America, of which, it is most probable, Lord Cochrane has, ere this time, assumed the command. And a totally new series of questions arises: Will this consummate Captain arrive in the Greek seas ere the negociation ( attempted on the part of the Divan) is concluded ? or if he does not, will his presence act as a sufficient inducement with the late insurgents to resume their arms? With Mauplta and Hydra, and three frigates, assuredly Lord Cochrane could find little difficulty in chasing the Egyptian fleet back to the Nile; nay, who shall say that he might not beard the Dardanelles? The moment has arrived when tire whole of this business must either be considered as terminated, in so far as the existing generation is concerned-— or assume a character of importance entirely superior to what it ever as yet has exhibited ; enough to command not merely the most anxious observation, but the direct interference, of the great powers of Europe. Spain appears to have sunk iuto a state almost inconsistent with the existence of any hope on the part even of her most sanguine observers; no energy left, exccpt in cruel orgasms of political madness ; no repose except that of utter exhaustion, and the last apathy of despair. The nobles are ruined; commerce is destroyed; the government possesses the confidence of no order of society, except perhaps tbe priesthood, who ( the ferocious bigots and the heartless hypocrites alike) exert their utmost influence to deepen the misery of the nation which their rule has too long insulted. The contest between these colonies and the mother country has long, to all intents and purposes, been terminated. Spain now possesses on all that ex- tensive continent nothing but a single fortress, within the walls of which great distress is known to have' prevailed for some months past. " The United States of Mexico," " The Republic of Colombia," " The United Provinces of Rio de la Plata," have already been recognized by the British Government; and, without doubt, the recognition of " The Federal Republic of Central America," " The Republic of Chile," and " The Republic of Peru," will follow as soon as the British ministry shall be satisfied that those states are sufficiently consolidated in their interior arrangements to afford a proper guarantee for the permanency of their treaties. The whole of these states have been ac- knowledged by the United States- of North America; aud the Government of the Netherlands has now a commissioner employed in visiting them successive- ly, with a view to their being in like mauner recognized by that power, and invested with full authority to declare, wherever he goes', the purpose of his mission. Unlike the governments of France and Spain, who rushed in without provocation to assist our North American colonies iu their insurrection— though distinctly foreseeing the result of the war— though tempted with the largest prospects of advantage- ® - nay, though urged in every possible method by tbe public voice at home— the government of Great Britain would lend no countenance to the insurgents, until they had completed for themselves the work of their independence, simply because that government held sacred the faith of its existing treaties. The conduct of the government as to this matter has been uniform. The Marquess of Londonderry held all along, to the American deputies and agen'p here, the same language which his successor maintained up to the moment when England could grant what the colonies demanded, without violating the en- gagements which she had contracted with the metropol s. The final issue of the disputes between Portugal and Brazil has afforded another triumph for British diplomacy . To see the King of Portugal voluntarily choosing and investing with full authority an English minister to settle a question so delicate as the terms of separation between a metropolis and a colony, a parent and a child; this, surely must have been as gratifying to every Englishman who delights in the moral influence of his country, as it is honourable to the administration whose conduct has earned such confidence. O11 the whole, it may safely be said, that England is everywhere regarded by free states as the great example, friend, and guardian of freedom; by despotisms as the im- mitigable enemy of the principles of tyranny. That her national justice is inflexible, her national honour untarnished, and her high influence exerted for the good, not of herself only, but of all mankiud;— these things are denied by none whose envious eyes have not been dazzled into blindness by the contemplation of her greatness.—' Representative. " His Majesty continues to receive from His Allies, aud generally from all Foreign Princes and States, the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards His Majesty. His Majesty on his part is constant and unwearied in His endea- vours to reconcile conflicting interests, and to recommend and cultivate peace, both in the Old World and in the New. " His Majesty commands us to inform yon, that in pursuance of this policy, His Majesty's media- tion has been successfully employed in the conclu- sion of a treaty between the Crowns of Portugal and Brazil, by which the relations of friendly inter- course, long interrupted between two kindred nations, have been restored; and the independence ofthe Brazilian Empire has been formally acknow- ledged. " His Majesty loses no opportunity of giving effect to the principles of trade and navigation which have received the sanction of Parliament, and of establishing them, as far as possible,- by engagements with Foreign Powers. " His Majesty has directed to be laid before you a copy of a Convention, framed 011 these principles, which has recently been concluded between His Majesty and the King of France; aud of a similar Convention with the free Hanseatick Cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh. " His Majesty has likewise directed to be laid before you a copy of a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, concluded between His Majesty and the Republic of Columbia, the ratifications of which have been exchanged since the close of the last Session. For the carrying info effect some of the stipulations of this treaty, his Majesty will have need of your assistance. His Majesty regrets that he has not to announce to you the termination of hostilities in India. But the operations of the last campaign, through the bravery of the forces of His Majesty and of the East India Company, and the skill and perseverance of their commanders, have beeu attended with uniform success; and His Majesty trusts that a continuance of the same exertions may lead, at no distant period, to an honourable and satisfactory pacification. " His Majesty's attention has been directed to the consideration of several measures, recom- mended in the last Session of Parliament, for improving the condition of Ireland. " The industry of that part of the United King- dom, His Majesty has the satisfaction of acquaint- ing you, is iu a course of gradual and general advancement, an advancement mainly to be attri- buted to that state of tranquillity which now happily prevails throughout all the provinces of Ireland. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " His Majesty has directed the estimates for the year to be prepared and laid before you. " They have been framed with an anxious desire to avoid every expenditure beyond what the neces- sary demands ofthe public service may require. " His Majesty has the satisfaction of informing you, that the produce of the revenue in the last year has fully justified the expectations entertained at the commencement of it. " My Lords, and Gentlemen, " His Majesty deeply laments the injurious effects which the late pecuniary crisis must have entailed upon many branches of the commerce and manufactures of the United Kingdom ; but His Majesty confidently believes that the temporary check which commerce and manufactures may at this mbmeht experience, will, under the blessiug of Divine Providence, neither impair the great sources of our wealth, nor impede the growth of national prosperity." 4$ lt0£ eUameoti0 Intelligence. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. THURSDAY, FEB. 2. This being the day fixed for the opening of the last Session of the present Parliament, all the usual preparations were made for the occasion : but as His Majesty signified his pleasure that the cere- mony should be performed by RoyalCommissioners, aud not by His Majesty in person, those prepara- tions were, of course, of a much less imposing character, than if the Royal presence had been vouchsafed. The Lord Chancellor's continued indisposition of course prevented him from taking his seat upon the Woolsack, and reading, as usual, the Royal Speech. There have been very few instances, we believe, of the Session of Parliament being opened without the presence of either the Sovereign, or the Lord Chancellor. In the year 1824, to provide against such a contingency as has now occurred, a Royal Commission passed the Great Seal, appointing Lord Gifford to act as Deputy Speaker, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor. At a quarter past two o'clock, the Royal Com- missioners, viz. Lords Harrowby, Westmoreland, Gifi'ord, and Shaftesbury, having taken their seats, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod was sent to require the attendance of the House of Commons below the Bar. In a few minutes, the Speaker ap- peared, accompanied by a considerable number of Members, when Lord GiFroRD read the following SPEECH, • the Royal Commission appointing them to act being previously read : — " My Lords, and Gentlemen, " We are commanded by His Majesty to inform you, that His Majesty has seen with regret the embarrassment which has occurred in the pecuniary transactions of the country since the close of the last Session of Parliament. " This embarrassment did not arise from any political events, either at home or abroad; it was not produced by any unexpected demand upon the public resources, nor by the apprehension of any interruption to the general tranquillity. " Some of the causes to which this evil must be attributed lie without the reach of direct Parlia- mentary interposition; nor can security against the recurrence of them be found, unless in the experience of the sufferings which they have occasioned. " But to a certain portion of this evil, correct- ives, at least, if not effectual remedies, may be applied; and His Majesty relies upon your wisdom to devise such measures as may tend to protect both private and public interests against the like sudden and violent fluctuations, by placing 011 a more firm foundation ths currency and circulating credit ui the country. FRANCE.— The French Chambers opened their Session 011 Tuesday.— There is not much iu the Speech of Charles X. upon- which politicians can comment. Wilh the exception of the Declaration, lhat His Most Christian Majesty continues to re- ceive, from all his august Allies, assurances of their amicable dispositions, the topics alluded lo are nearly all of a domestic character, and relate to matters purely of a national concern. The death of the Emperor Alexander is biiefly deplored, as the loss of " one of the most magnani- mous of His Majesty's Allies." The Convention concluded with Great Britain, for the purpose of rendering more uniform the condition to which the reciprocal navigation of the two king- doms, and their colonies, is subject, is described as a measure from which His Majesty anticipates happy results for the maritime commerce of France. Tbe fate of St. Domingo being fixed, it is intimated that one of the subjects lo which fhe Chambers will have lo direct their attention, will be a law for tbe division of the indemnity, which has been reserved for Ibe ancient planters. The most important point in the speech is an announcement, lhat the law which now directs an equal distribution of landed and other property shall be altered, so that the law of primogeniture shall be restored, without, however, restricting Ihe liberty of disposing of property : the political stability of tbe Throne and the Stale is said lo require an arrange- ment of this description, as Ihe progressive subdivision of landed property which is forced by the present law, is essentially contrary to tbe principle of monarchical government and constitutional security. Lord Morpeth declines standing for Yorkshire, not considering himself justified in attempting to support " Ibe great and unavoidable expenses ofa contested election." ( FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE.— Infamous Neglect. — We noticed in a late Paper, the ludicrous circum- stances attending the escape of the I. ion and Bear from Ihe menagerie in Chester. We have now Ihe melancholy task of recording a similar instance of gross neglect, hut attended wilh consequences of a most distressing nature. On Monday week, tbe same collection of wild animals was opened for exhi bition at Mold, when, owing lo the carelessness of ihe keepers, or the inadequacy of the security, or both, large Leopard contrived to escape from the Caravan, and sans ceremonie dashed across the street, through a large concourse of people, who, as might be ex- pecfed, readily drew back, and made way for so unwelcome a visitor. A short distance from the exhibition, the Leopard fastened upon a youth about fifteen years of age; the brute seized him wilh his claws by the breast and back, which were much torn, and then proceeded to fasten on his face, one side of which fhe ferocious beast actually tore off and devoured before the poor boy could be released from his fangs! This was at last effected by the keepers, but the innocent sufferer was left in such a state as to leave little hope but that death would speedily termi- nate his misery !— We feel satisfaction in adding, lhat the Magistrates have committed the Keeper to Prison, and served fhe concern with a Welsh eject- ment, These repeated instances of danger, arising from the culpable negligence of those entrusted with the care of wild beasts, call loudly for Magisterial interference and severe punishment. The neighbourhood of Wigan and Ormskirk has, for several weeks past, been exposed to the depre- dations of poachers, who have appeared in parties of twenty in number, armed so as to overawe the gamekeepers. At Haydock, they attacked and severely wounded the gamekeeper, who now lies dangerously ill, in consequence of being stabbed by them. At Lathom, they have more than once eluded the vigilance of the watchers; and, about ten days ago, they swept over the covers of the Earl of Derby, in Bickerstaffe, and ordered four watchers, whom they met, to retire; they fired at ihem while doing so, but fortunately did not wound them. At Lathom, 011 Sunday morning last, about 3 o'clock, the alarm was given of their being in the covers ; when the keepers, watchers, and servants, assembled to the number of about twenty, aud met them. The poachers, on seeing them, fired at them , when the latter ran in upon them, and after a severe struggle, took six of the poachers prisoners, and conveyed them to Lathom- house. They were, on Monday morning, committed by the Rev. G. Ford, at Orms- kirk, to the House of Correction at Kirkdale. One of the servants who assisted in taking them, was severely cut on the head ; and one of Mr. Bootle Wilbraham's tenants desperately wounded, and the temporal artery cut: there are, however, hopes of his life. These miscreants will be tried at the pre- sent Kirkdale Sessions; and there is reason to be- lieve, that sufficient information has been obtaiued, to lead to a discovery of the principal persons ofthe gang, who have so long disturbed the peace of this populous part of the county.— Liverpool Courier. A WHOLESALE DEALER IN COUNTERFEIT COIN.— Mr. Dawson, our active intendant of police, having a strong suspicion lhat Robert Barker, a licensed hawker, was directly or indirectly implicated in various extensive robberies, that had been com- mitted in a number of the drapers' shops in this city within the last few days, and hearing he was 011 ( be road from Chester lo Tarvin, immediately started in that direction ( by the coach), accompanied by Mr. Bevin, one of the individuals- whose premises had been plundered, Dawson taking the necessary pre- caution to go as an inside passenger, there being three females on the outside of the coach whom he suspected to be ill league with Barker, The coach, on its arrival at the Bull's Head public- house, Stam- ford Bridge, halted, and Barker was standing at the door, wilh a large pack at his feet, which he wished the coachman to help him to lift upon the coach, when Dawson jumped out and seized him by ihe collar. The women were also secured, and searched, but there was nothing found upon them to lead to conclusion of guilt. O11 searching Barker, however, it was discovered that he had about twenty pockels iu different parts of his clothes, one of which was ill Ihe inside of his waistcoat, and went completely round his body. This pocket contained eight parcels, seven of which inclosed ten dozen of counterfeit' half- crowns each, and Ihe eighlh sixty, thus making a total of nine hundred pieces!' and between each coin was placed a piece of tissue paper. Oil oilier parts of his person were found a pocket- book, containing three five- pound Bank of England notes, and seventeen pounds iu local notes; a- bag, containing fourteen sovereigns, one pound six shillings in silver, a bad sixpence, and sundry small pieces of melted silver The pack contained about one hundred pound worth of drapery goods, some of which, we believe, Mr. Bevin identified as property that had been purloined from his shop. He made no resistance when taken, nor gave any account of ihe manner which he became possessed of the metal or drapery, and was consequently handcuffed, and brought to Chester. The next morning ( Wednesday) he under went au examination before Charles Morrall, Esq who committed him to Chester Castle for further examination. The goods that were found in ihe pack being, as we before noticed, supposed to be pur- loined from shops in this city, the worthy magistrate, in Ihe course of tbe examination, took cognizance only of that part of the case which related to the base coin.— Chester Chronicle.

In a lale number of the Military Magazine which is published at Copenhagen, there is a parallel between Napoleon and Hannibal, which is very ingeniously pursued. Both of these great warriors, says Ibe writer, carried war into the bosom of the enemy's country; both passed the Alps; both employed infantry iu masses— Napoleon formed a reserve of veterans ; Hannibal did Ihe same at Zaina. Both were skilful in inflaming the courage of their Iroops by harangues ; and both knew well how to meet danger at the right moment. Both of fhem rose at ail early age to the highest dignities of Ihe state; both were about 26 years of age when they began to signalize themselves in war. Both sought lo conquer Italy; Trebia was for Han nibal, what Marengo was for Bona parte, and Austeriilz and Jena were the parallels of Thrasemene and Cannce. Hannibal sank before Scipio; Napoleon sank before Wellington. Zama was Waterloo. To crown all, both died in exile; one complained of being tormented by Flaminius, and Ihe other— by Sir Hudson Lowe. The Gazelle of Tuesday night contains a proclama- tion, ordaining the coinage of penny- pieces, half- penny, pieces, and farthing. pieces, and the reception of them by the public as lawful money, wilh the usual proviso limiting the obligation of taking penny pieces iu one payment to the amount of a shilling, and of half- pennies and farthings to the amount of sixpence. By what has fallen recently from the Judges of the Common Pleas upon the subject, there seems little doubt but that the antiquated and inconvenient pro- ceedings by Writ of Right will speedily be abolished. We are assured that Sir Claude Scot! ( ivhose house was among Ihe recent stoppages) is worth at least half a million. His case affords another proof lhat no wealth in a Bankercan stand against a sudden rush upon him, however absurd the panic may be. A subscription is now being made throughout the kingdom for the relief of Roman Catholic Priests who have conformed to the Church of England; and liberal contributions towards it have been made by many of the dignified Clergy and other friends to the Establishment. The receipt of Custom- house duties at this port, in Ihe year just ended, we understand, says the Liverpool Advertiser of Saturday, considerably exceeded three millions of money, notwithstanding the panic which prevailed in the interior of the country during last quarter. The revenue here consequently amounts to an entire fifth of the whole collected for Ihe three Kingdoms, as the statement made in the London papers of last week gave but fifteen millions'as the aggregate. It appears, Scotland and Ireland together produce nearly one other fifth, and Ihe large English ports of Bristol, Hull, and Newcastle conjunctively, almost another fifth ; so that but two- fifths are left for London and all the remaining ports of England to make up. Last week a small lurcher dog killed 13 lambs and bit seven others, belonging to a farmer ia the Isle of Wight. STAFFORD SESSIONS.— Atthese Sessions, Prudence Clare, for stealing a quantity of woollen cloth and a shawl, from a Yorkshire clothier, at Newcastle market, was sentenced to seven years transportation. The culprit was once sentenced to seven years' transportation, but for merciful reasons that sentence was commuted, and she was removed to one of our national Penitentiaries, where she continued about four years, and from whence she has not been long released; her eldest brother was hung at Newcastle- upon- Tyne, for murder ; another brother was trans ported; and a third suffered a long period of im prisonmeut for felonies; her mother, on a conviction for grand larceny, was adjudged fourteen years' transportation, but died before she was conveyed from Stafford county prison; one of her safer, « was transported ; and another was convicted and suffered punishment for felony. The history of this woman'] family certainly favours the opinion . that crime is hereditary. On Sunday night, the Express stage- coach, on its way from London to York, was robbed of a parcel containing Bank of England one- pound notes, to the amount of £ 1000. The parcel in question was from Messrs. Glyn and Co. and was intended for Messrs, Swan and Co. bankers, in this city. It was given into the hands of the guard of the above coach, and by him deposited in a bag, which was put into basket, and then locked up in the boot. There were only four inside passengers, two of whom got up at London, and a third at Islington, all of whom left the coach at different places, and in rather an abrupt manner; the fourth came through to York. The guard several times in the course of the journey looked if the parcel was safe, but ou making a similar examination at Ferrybridge, although the boot was safely locked as before, yet the valuable prize was found to be missing. We understand that one of the passengers' name is Jones, and with another of them the guard had frequently travelled before, so that his person is well known to him. It appears most probable that the party had known of the valuable consignment, and had been provided with the necessary means for opening the lock and effecting their purpose, in which business Ihey have proved themselves more than ordinary adepts in their eluding the well known vigilance and attention of the guard, to whose custody the parcel was en- trusted. There can be little doubt, from the pecu- liarities of the case, that the thieves will not remain long undetected.— York Courant. At Ihe close of the late frost ( he ice upon Derwent Lake, Keswick, was upwards of seven inches in thick- ness, yet notwithstanding this massy covering some fish- ermen were so anxious to possess a portion of Ihe finny tribe below, lhat they cut holes in it through whicii they introduced their lines, and were rewarded with a plentiful take of perch '!— The lake was often literally covered wilh skaiters and others amusing themselves upon Ihe ice ; and amongst the number, says our Correspondent, we noticed Mr. Thomas Martin, writing- master, Keswick, sliding along with his pike- stick with all the alacrity of youth, although lie is at present in the eighty- eighth year of his age ! Cumberland Packet, The library ofthe Marquis ofSIigo lately burned, was a saloon, on which nearly £ 20,000 was expended within the last few years, and was certainly oue of the most perfectly chaste specimens of architectural beauty in the kingdom. Nearly the whole of the valuable collection of books, shells, and minerals, that it contained are destroyed. Last week a young man at Horningsham, of the name of Wilkius, hung himself 011 the morning on which he was 10 have been married ! but by Ihe timely assistance of the neighbours, aud lhat of a gentleman of Deverill, riding by al the moment, be was restored to animation; and it is reported that having rseeived a good horse. whipping f'ry. m Ihe gentleman for at- tempting lo disappoint the fond wishes of his sweet- heart, he was perfectly restored. On Tuesday last a melancholy catastrophe happened at Milford, near th ia town-. It appears that a ! Vlr0 Coles who lives at that place, had been upon some business to Hurst, situate a few miles fro in Milford ; and as it is a place where wild fowl abound, he took a gun with him, which on his return home he concealed behind some sacks of flour which stood in the corner of a passage in his house. Unfortunately, a lad about 15 years of age ( son- in- law to the above) had been sent to fetch something from this passage, in search for which, and behind the bags of flour, he discovered the gun, which he imprudently took from its hiding place, and pointed it in a jest at a butcher's boy, who was standing in a shop on the opposite side of the way ; fortunately for him, the dreadful engine was but half- cocked, and this probably saved his life. The lad then cocked the gun, and turning round, presented it at the servant girl ( about 15 years old), who was busied within a few yards of him at a copper, and, shot- king to relate, shot her dead on the spot. The explosion alarmed a woman, at work near, who exclaiming " George, you will frighten us to death !" turned round just as the poor girl fell down a corpse. The shot entered her head, which was horribly shattered. An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict returned of " Accidental Death."— Southampton Herald. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.— It is our melancholy duty this week to record another of those awful visita- tions which have already been so frequent amongst the collieries in this district ; and though not so fearful in extent as some of its predecessors in the district, it is almost as disastrous in its consequences, from the number of helpless children thus thrown upon the world, as the worst of those which have gone before if. On this occasion no fewer than 34 indivL duals have met an untimely death, ten of whom have left wives and families totally unprovided for. On Tuesday, the 17th inst the men were at work in the Bensham pit as usual, when about eight o'clock the northern part of the Working suddenly fired, and a few of the miners succeeded in reaching the bank alive. The inhabitants having caught the alarm, the utmost confusion and distress ensued ; wives and mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters, sharing one common interval of the most heart sickening suspense and agitation. On Wednesday, when the bodies were brought up and claimed, the scene if possible was more distressing than before, the worst fears in some cases being realized, and in others the slender hopes entertained utterly destroyed. The village resounded with the cries and lamentations of the survivors. It is rather remarkable that in the above list there were three strangers or borrowed men, and one of them, from Fatfield, was in the pit for the first time— the other two had been in once before. Forty- six horsea and two asses are ascertained to have fallen victims to the fire and after- damp It is supposed, however, that there are more not yet come at ; the colliery is the property of Messrs. Brown of Loudon.— Newcastle Chronicle. TRADE IN GLASGOW,— The distresses that we ventured to predict as likely to result from the money panic, are now overflowing in every quarter, and many highly respectable merchants, manufacturers, and traders, find no little difficulty in keeping their heads above water. The lessening of the amount, the limiting of the times and the increasing of the rate of discounts, are severely felt in Glasgow ; and within the short space of twenty days nearly the same number of houses are reported to have fallen in consequence. The state of business in Glasgow is as gloomy as it cats well be imagined. This is an awful fact, and a fact, the publication of which, at an earlier period, might have augmented the evil ; but it is now too notorious for farther concealment. Complaints are heard on every side, aud the distress appears to be not only grievous, but general. To specify particular branches, even if we could do so, would be imprudent, but we confess that we cannot. All are alike affected ; and though some have borne il better than others, it is not because those have had less to bear, but becausc these have been less able to bear it. In Scotland, though there was nothing like panie among the customers of banks, the state of the money- market in England caused considerable demands upou those establishments, and ultimately obliged them to contract the scale of their accommodations Tbe effect is now felt severely. The Scots Banks are believed to have lost considerably in common with the bankers in England, by being obliged to bring securities to market at the most disadvantageous time for sellers.
