That it is highly desirable that none of the Trustees should engage their Votes prior to the Day of Election, when the Testimonials and Qualifications of the re- spective Candidates will be fairly investigated.

SUTLER'S CAJEPUT OPODEL- DOC.— Cajcput Oil, which is the basis of Ibis Opodeldoc, has been long esteemed on the Continent, ns a remedy for Chronic Rheumatism, Spasmodic Affections, Chilblains, Palsy, Stiffness, and Enlarge- ment of the Joints, Sprain's, Bruises, and Deafness; nnd the experience of late years, in England, prnves that it merits the high character given of it by the most eminent in the profession, in those obsiiuate complaints. Being combined in the form of Opodeldoc, it is rendered more penetrating and consequently much more efficacious as an external application. Rubbed upon the skin, by means of flannel, or the warm hand, it allays morbid irritation of nerves, invigorates the absorbents, and accelerates the circulation. Sold iu Bottles, at Is. ljd. ond 2s. 9d. by Butler, Chemist, 4, Cheapside, London; and by the principal Medicine Venders throughout tbe United Kingdom.

HUME moved for returns of the nuns'oer and sames of all the Country Bankers who had failed — with the towns— the number of partners in each firm, and the amount of the several dividends made, since January, 1816. The lion, . Gentleman declared that his object in making- the present motion was to ascer- tain and shew the actual' amount in which the public were sufferers, for that amount was not yet known, mid it was obviously of gfreuX importance that it should In prof/ eily understood. . Mr. GRENFKLL sug-^ ested a similar return iir refer- ence to Scotland, the reply to which he apprehended would l> e nil; ' Mr. MARERLY objected to the motion,- as,- if such a principle were once admitted, it would be competent for ihe House to inquire into the concerns of any indi- viduals as well as bankers, io- whose case there appeared to be nothing; so peculiar as to make their private transactions the subject of parliamentary in- vestigation and pub- He exposure. Mr. GHEM'BLL considered there was a sufficient • distinction' between concerns or a strictly private nature, and those persons who issued notes which circulated as the medium of public traffic, to* justify, ine production of the returns moved for by the Hon. JVlember. tie thought the inconvenience would be Mr. BAKING predicted but little advantage from the measure's recommended hy Government, aud wished the law as it stoo'd to be continued foV another year. The: Hon. Member also repeated his iug^ estion that silver should be declared a Ir^ al tender to any Amount as well as g- oid. To the latter proposition, Mr, Hos- KissON gave a virtual pledge that it should undergo consideration. Mr. BARING also suggested the intro- duction of a limited responsibility. of non- acting registered partners in the proposed new establish- ments; but Mr. 15. USKISS0N observed, that the Bank in surrendering its j> ri vil^ ges objected to a limitation of responsibility iu the members of the new Banks. — Mr. VV. L. MAB'KRLEY and Mr. GORDON also ad- dressed tbe Committee ; after which,- on the motion of Mr. CANNING, the further discussion of the measures was adjouiWd-, and the House rose at half- past twelve o'clock. trifling. M'r. J. SMITH hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would to- morrow state tlie grounds of an accusation which appeared in the correspondence between his Majesty's Government nnd the Bank, viz. i( that the rash pecuniary transac- tions of individuals were supported, fostered, and encouraged by the existing system of the Country Bankers.'" lie spoke in the name and behalf of the Country Bankers ot' England, many of whom were Members of that House, and he had no hesitation in declaring, that this class of persons comprised vast numbers of gentlemen ofthe highest honour, prudence, and integrity; and iu their name he called upon the iii gift Hon. Gentleman to state the grounds upon which he had been pleased to make so general and sweeping an accusation. He was glad that the motion now made would bring the conduct of the Country Bankers fairly before the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should not oppose the motion, because he did not see that the production of the papers required would carry any imputation upon those Country Banker* who had failed, or embarrass the parties in any business in which they might have embarked since their failure. As to what had fallen from the Hon. Member for Penrhvn wilh reference to expressions contained in the, correspondence with the Bank, be was anxious to explain, in order to remove any mis- impression on the subject, and to satisfy the feelings of those who might' conceive theinse! ves injuVed by anv allusion. It was uo| designed by the- correspondence to convey the slightest imputation against the character of any individual whatsoever ; the entire complaint was di- rected against the system of private banking,- which, Unquestionably was productive of the most injurious eli'ects to the community-— effects- totally beyond the. eooijoul of the bankers themselves-. Indeed Unneces- sary pursuits of a hanker could not fail, without, any fault of his, to generate evil results; and even if the •• barge had been more particularly expressed, it could* not, in fairness, be constructed to attach- blame to the conduct or character of individuals; Mr. CALCSAPT said, that whatever might be the opinion ofthe Right Hon. Gentleman as to the system of Country Banks, he denied ihe statement that it had been bv a rash spirit of speculation with reference to such- banks, that those enterprizes which tended to disturb the currency of the country had been sup- ported l> t was his own overissue of- Exchequer Bills that had done all the mischief": Sir jou- tf VVROTTESLEY said, that- during the last year the curly class of persons that had not speculated was the Conntry Bankers. They had rather been the victims of the speculations of etbes- s than speculators themselves. Mr HUDSON GURJFE- Y was of opinion that tlte whole system of Country Banking had a direct tendency to encourage, nay to force speculation-,-, and this too against the wish of the Country Banker, thaiKwbom there was no person more interested in the prevention of such speculation. The system of Scotch banks was, in his opinion, more calculated to facilitate specula- tions than that which prevailed in this country ; and he was quite convinced that if the Scotch' meihod of banking were introduced, the iesu. lt would'My tlrat a much greater number of these speculations would be entered into than were found at present to prevail. He wished himself to see the currency of the country out of all private hands; and maintained that it would he impossible to go 011 without such an issue of paper ns would reduce prices to what they were before the depreciation of 35 percent, took place. Unless' this were done, the embarrassments of 1816, 1821, and 18- 22, were nothing to those which the country must yet experience. Mr. ROBEKTSON eulogised the system of banking in Scotland, which, in his opinion, had raised that country to her present state of prosperity. If the Ministers persisted in their determination to withdraw the one and two- pound notes from circulation, the misfortunes of the country must be agg ravated ten- fold , Mc PEARCE, in reply to some question? from Mr. Tierney, said, that the establishment of Bank of England Branch Banks had been the subject of con- versation among the Directors for three years past. Mr. Hi'MB, in briefly replying, expressed bis con- viction, that the HonSe would be enabled to retrieve the distresses of the country..—- The returns were then ordered, including similar ones from Scotland. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. THE CURHRNCY. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER introduced bis proposed resolutions relative to the Bank Charter and Country Band's, and after a discussion of some length, the further discussion on them was adjourned until Monday. The Hight Hon. Gentleman prefaced his motion with a speech of considerable length, in the course of which he reminded the House that the Com- mittees of 1819 impressed on Parliament the necessity of withdrawing all notes under £ 5 from circulation; that Mr. Peel's bill provided for their discontinuance after the resumption of cash [ payments in 1823; but lie now, and always had regretted, the fulfilment of that portion of the bill was, by an act of 1822, post- poned till 1833 He contended that one and two pound notes were of a mischievous character and tendency in many respects; but in no view more than by placing 111 tiie hands of those who, 011 well- founded or ill- founded rumours were likely to become alarmed, the power to make runs upon bankers, and thus to create the mo* t serious inconveniences. lie denied that the • withdrawing of these notes would occasion the diffi- culties which some members imagined ; but, even if such were to be the case, those evils must be met at some period, except the issuCsi of small notes were never to cease. He calculated that there had been one and two- pound country notes in circulation to the extent of £ 0,000,000, but that the amount, in conse- quence of the late general demand for gold, and greater caution in the issues, did not now exceed Jt' 4,000,00{ K To this extent, according to his plan, it would be necessary, within the next three years, to provide a gold currency ; and the Bank having-, since 1819, issued twenty- five millions and a quarter of sovereigns, seventeen of which Jie considered to be still immediately available to the circulation of the country, he could not think that the additional supply of four millions of gold, to take the place of the paper to be withdrawn in three years, presented difficulties that might not be surmounted, and that were not infinitely preferable to retaining in circulation the mischievous small notes, the holders of which might produce such effects as those to which he had. adverted. On these grounds he confidently recommended the plan to the adoption of the House. On the subject ofthe limitation of the exclusive pri- vilege of the Bank of England, the Right Hon. Gen- tleman staled, that although he intended to propose a resolution, laving down the principle that it was desirable. Banks should be, allowed to be established iu the country without restriction as to the number of partners in each, yet it was proposed that the bill should originate in the other House ; and in order that the existing establishments might have time to consi- der the course they should pursue, either with a- view to connect themselves with new establishments or to increase, the number of partners in their own, it was intended to fix ou the 5th , of July, which, in his opinion, was as distant a period as could be reasonably expected, or would even be useful to the. Bankers themselves.— In conclusion, the Right Hon. Gentle- man observed, that if Parliament should refuse to carry the propositions into effect, he should deeply lament that decision. If Parliament should refuse to deal with the present emergencies according to the established principles adopted in similar circum- stances, he should not envy the individual who might fill the office he now held: he should not envy his responsibility when the consequences of this refusal were fully developed. He therefore implored the House not to blink the question, or be terrified at the apparent difficulties it presented, but. to apply a strong and decisive remedy to evils of a serious magnitude, which, if not checked, might lead to events still more disastrous than those which had already taken place The resolution he had to submit to Ihe consideration of the House then was, " that it is the opinion of this Committee, that all promissory notes payable to bearer 011 demand, issued by licensed Bankers, or by the Bank of England, for any sura less than £ 5, and bearing dare from the 5th of February, 1826, shall and » my continue in circulation till tht 5th of February, 1820, aud u » longer PHICHS OF Red. 3 per Cts. 76. j 3 per Ct.

F MNK NOTE AFFAIRS. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER having moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on the Bank Charter Act and Promissory Notes Act. Sir JOHN WROTTKSLEY opposed the Speaker's leav- ing the chair; and said, if he stood alone, he would divide the House on the question. The Country Bankers had been condemned without cause ; they were no speculators; the speculation bad begun on Ihe Stock Exchange and in London : and the Govern- ment was to blame for not having taken measures lo stop those schemes of ruinous speculation which had involved so many in their fatal results. As to the Branch Bunks and Joint Stock Companies, if they were piacficable, so far from mitigating the evil, they would increase it. The. stroke now levelled at the Country Bankers \ vas uncalled for, and unnecessary : if Government would leave matters alone, things would soon right themselves ; but their proposed measures would be ruinous to the agriculturists aiid country tradesmen. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON implored the Government to abandon their proposed measures, w hich would con- vulse the country from oue end lo tire other. Mr. LFYCESTER ridiculed the idea of Joint Stock Banking Companies in England. Mr. J. WILSON said the idea of the measures pro- posed by Government was creating mischief in every direction, by destroying confidence. Things certainly were not well, but the proposed measures would make bad worse. Mr. J'. Smrn « aid the Country Bankers had done nothing to which the censures pronounced upon them by the^ Govern merit ought to have been applied : although he thought the principle of the measure proposed by Government was right, he must say it would be better to posijjone it for the presentthe King's Speech had created great alarm, and it should perhaps, have been allowed to subside : still, however, the principle of the measure was good, and he would support it.

What ley, against the Magistrates of Shrewsbury. Mr. TAUNTOH.— My Lord, I am to move your Lord- ship for a Mandamus directed to the Magistrates of the TOV « MI and Liberties of Shrewsbury, in the county of Salop, directing them to give Judgment on a certain Indictment, on which the plea of Guilty has been pleaded, for a nuisance.— My Lord, tbe Indictment in question was preferred at the Michaelmas Sessions last year, and tbe defendant c: • ie in at the Epiphany Sessiomand pleaded to that Indictment. The Indict- ment ir for stopping up a footpath in- tbe neighbourhood of the town of Shrewsbury, adjoining to tbe great Irish road lo Holyhead. The old footpath, tbe obstruction of which is complained of, led through a field belonging to Mr. Walton, of the town of Shrewsbury. Mr. Watfon Has thought proper to stop up that footpath, and to turn the public out of his field ( w here they bad a very convenient and commodious passage), by an em- bankment and a- hedge which divides his field from Ihe public turnpike road; the consequence of which is, that from tbe narrowness of the path on Ihe top of this embankment, and the steepness of il, the passage along is extmnely dangerous; and my affidavits state, that it is uot merely speculative danger, but that many acci- dents have happened since this footpath was turned, which was nt least a year and a half or two years ago; so that it is most clear, and it is matter of almost absolute necessity, tluit something must be done to restore the public to the easement they before enjoyed — My Lord, all this matter was laid before tlie Court of Quarter Sessions at the Epiphany Sessions, and again at ihe Adjourned Sessions on the 30th' of last month; notwitbsiandlug which they, upon a suggestion, 1- believe, that Ihe Commissioners for improving tbe great Irish road intended to make some alteration of the road in this place, to which Mr. Walton's diversion in their judgment al the moment appeared to be sub- servient, refused to do any thing ; aud at the Epiphany Sessions last, they made'an order, nhereby lliey put the defendant under bis own recognizance lo abide tin judgment of that Court lo be pronounced at th Epiphany Sessions in the year 1827, giving him a year's time or grace lo do that which, it is perfectly clear, might lltne been done just as well in a single day, or even half a day, as in the compass of a whole year; ami tliey added, " that i| i the mean time the nuisance be abated." Now, my Lord, under these circum- stances, therefore, I submit to your Lordships, that this Court will interfere to direct ihe Magistrates at these Sessions lo do that which ihe justice of the case requires, namely, to give judgment of abatement of tiie nuisance without, delay. Their Lordships were of opinion, that as the Magis- trates had not refused to give judgment, bill had meiely postponed it, there would he some difficulty as to directing a peremptory process; as the case might be one thai required time to remove the nuisance. Mr. TAUNTON said, certainly if the ease was one lhat required time, a peremptory process could not be issued; but here there was no difficulty of the kind; the defendant had obstructed a footpath, and it was as easy to remove that obstruction in a day as iu a year. In ihe present case, il is shewn by affidavit that the nuisance is a continuing nuisance; for the footpath remains just as much stopped up now as it has done at a- uv period since the defendant stopped il up. Instead of giving what could he the only legal judgment on a Mercer, Draper, Haberdasher, and Hosier, HIGH- STREET, SHREWSBURY. WM.

In consequence of a respectably signed Requi- sition lo the Bailiffs uf Bridgnorth, a meeting is appointed to he held on Thursday next, at the Town Hall, in order io petition Parliament lor the% failual Abolition of Slavery iu our Colonies. On Thursday, the Viscount CHve prffsrufed a petition to the House of Commons, for leave to bring in a Bill to make a navigable anal between the towns of Liverpool and Birmingham — Oii Friday, the petition was reported, and a Bill was ordered to be brought in by the Viscount Clive aud Mr. Corbett. On Thursday last, an Inquest was held at Bridge- north, before James Milner, Gent. Coroner, and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of Elizabeth Jones, widow, aged 70.— The deceased, being infirm and unable to assist herself, had been attended by a nurse for a considerable time past -. the nurse had put her to bed, and was absent but a short time, during which the deceased had by some means got up and gone to a small fire left in the room, where she was found burnt in so dreadful a manner as to cause her dealh soon afler.— Verdict accordingly. SHREWSBURY HOUSE OF INDUSTRY— A special assembly of the Guardians took place yesterday, for taking into consideration a petition intended to be presented to Parliament, for the purpose of repealing Ihe present Act of Incorporation of Ihe said Guardi- ans, and of obtaining a new Act of IncorpoKit- ioh, with other powers, for a limited time A letter from the Viscount Cltve, dated the 6th instant, which was accompanied by the draft of the intended petition, as drawn up by Mr. Temple, was read; Ihe petition was also read, and, on the motion of Mr. IfazleWood, seconded by Mr. Hazledine, was adopted nnanimously. — The resolutions of a special Board of Directors, held on the 24lh of January, for I he purpose of tak- ing into consideration the Skctch ( noticed in a former Journal) of tbe proposed new Act of Incorporation, were then read, in which the Directors express their concurrence in ihe principle aud ground- work of the proposed Bill, and, after stating their opinion that great moral and pecuniary advantages would accrue to the Parishes from a dissolution of the present establishment, they add their belief thai one . or two years would be sufficient for tbe continuance of the new Acl, in order to the winding up Ihe affairs of Ibe House, & c.— The Rev. 3. Laugley said, be had understood Ihe New Acl was intended lo be for 5 years; and he regretted lhat tbe sketch of the New Act contained so. many unnecessary clauses calculated to protract Ihe period of the enormous expenditure of the Parishes: be should respectfully suggest the litni latum of the Bill lo two years.— Some desultory con versation took place, in which it was urged, and finally agreed, thai the questiou of limitation of time should be left to Ihe Committee of Noblemen and Gentlemen who had undertaken tbe task of arranging the business. — There were iiljiiti' f- i) Goaiui. ans and Directors present. Mr. VVickstead's hounds hail a brisk run on Tues day last. They met al Seighford, and " found" al Ladford Pool, near Eccleshall. The fox started in prime style, and led the hounds a gallant chase iu a circuitous route by Seighford and Cresswell, crossing the river a lime or two, to Stafford. The huntsmen, of whom there was a numerous field, had no alter- native but lo enter the town, and gallop down Ihe principal street. Reynard, meanwhile, bad reached the outskirts of the town in the Broad- Eve, and there, mounting the roof of a labourer's collage, look refuge in the chimney! A person was employed to ascend the roof of the house aud drive the poor Knight of Ihe " Brush" from his biding place amongst his. clamorous pursuers, by whom, mil. withstanding his having been metamorphosed into a chimney sweeper, he was recognized, and treated as their lawful prey, to Ihe great delight of a throng of old women and cobbler's ' prentices, who had never before been " in al the death." A terrible story has appeared iu another Print, of a horse belonging lo a " Mr. Humphreys" running uway with a cart in Frankwell, throwing overboard a hamper of wine, driving " ever" a drove of pigs, throwing down several children, & c. & c. & c 111 The fact is, the pipe of an ironing stove fell out of the carl, some people who saw it made such a noise tha they frightened the animal, who ran away for a shor distance, when a bridle also fell from Ihe cart; and ihis was the whole of the disaster !—' Fhe horse aud cart belonged to the Rev. E. Homfray, of Horton Lodge. Ou Thursday, General Gascoyne obtained leave of the House of Commons to introduce a bill to establish a Rail- road between the towns of Liverpool and Manchester. The estimate for this projected un dertaking, deposited in the Private Bill Office, amounts to £ 500,942, the length of Hail- road being continuing nuisance, ihe Court of Quarter Sessions had thought proper lo give the defendant a year's grace, and merely to call upon him at tbe next Epiphany Sessions in" 1827, to abide Ihe judgment of the Court at that time. Their Lordships thought lhat. as the Court of Quarter Sessions had held the defendant over in recognizance toa certain time, there would be some difficulty in ibe Court of Quarter Sessions proceeding lo call him before the in prior to that period. Mr. TAUKTOS submitted that the Court of Quarter Sessions may, in the mean time, give judgment of abatement of the nuisance; and if nothing effectual could be done by them, the whole proceedings could be removed by certiorari into this Court, una be sub- ject to the paramount process of their Lordships ; that course would not be affected by the proceedings of the last Court of Quarter Sessions, and their Lordships would then be able in this Court to proceed on the judgment pronounced ill the Court of Quarter Sessions. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT.— You may remove the indictment now by certiorari. Mr. TAUBTON.— Yes, my Lord, we may do that; but then it struck me that there was a doubt bow far your Lordships would proceed, seeing lliis order of the Sessions respiting it. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT.— Will lhat lie removed ! Mr. TAUNTON.— I apprehend it will, uiy Lord; be- cause the order of this Court is, that not only the record, but all things touching tbe same, shall be removed. Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT.— YOU may remove it by certiorari, and then call upon liiin lo shew cause why judgment should not be given. In that way you may relieve yourselves from all embarrassment ns lo any tiling which has been done at ihe Sessions. The Court will'then lake the matter intuits consideration. It will l- e difficult for that Court lo proceed to judgment after they have given him this time. Mr. TAUNTON.— 1 am afraid I cannot, my Lord, take lhat rule now. - Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT.— Y'oit may take the certiorari uovr.

FEBRUARY 13, 1826. SIR, — In the discussions of your correspondents respecting the failures of so many both London aud Country Banks, 1 have been surprised that no notice has been taken of the cause assigned by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Baring ot the Conference which took place at the Mansion House, in London, as stated in one of your Journals. I w rite fr » m memory ; but believe the opinion of one or both of the above well- informed gen- tlemen to " have been as follows :—" That- there ap- " peared to be no scarcity of money, but that the " parties had not made a proper use of the great " sums in their hands." Here it appears that the high price of Stocks is not, what it has been pretended to tie, the barometer of public credit, and much less public credit itself. Nay, iu some speeches in Parlia- ment the high price of Stocks has been stated as an evil superinduced from some other evil, and the parent of more. It ought to be kept in mind that the price of Stocks was about par only during the whole of the nation's real prosperity, which was during the late war, and thai the prices rose not from veal bargains ( of which the public papers stated there were few made), but from gambling in them, in direct opposition to the Act- of Parliament passed ift 1772, iu conse- quence of the shock given lo public credit by the failure of Fordyee, the great hanker, who, from being worth half a million sterling tbe week before, ruined many honest tradesmen by being able to pay only eighteeu- peiice in tbe pound. Is such a nefarious system still carrying on, and does no blanie attach to any for conniving at so barefaced a defiance of ' so salutary an Act of Parliament? Can il be believed that the immense fortunes made by some monied men, and attempted to be made by others, have had no influence on the late bankruptcies ? But it is stated that there was not a proper use made of the. vast sums in hand. What does this intimate but that there was not a call for it by those whom bankers could prudently trust? A description of customers was now wanted, whom the whole policy of the country had agreed to deprive of their rank in the community, and to return lhat profession again into the bands of the lowest order of men, w hich tbe policy of Bonaparte iu shutting- the ports of Europe against England had induced men of large capitals and science to embark their fortunes and their abilities in the pursuits of. This experience proved to be such a source of national ns well as individual prosperity, that ( to the amazement of the late Mr. Pitt, and all parties in the kingdom), instead of being'ruiued by the con- tinuance of the war, which Mr, Pitt prognosticated would be the issue of repeating the vast effort made in one year, the country rose the higher in wealth every year, notwithstanding the pressure of its enormous expenses. These expenses were really a drawback fo the nation, but, notwithstanding, riches increased. Agriculturists justly obtained credit, for their improve- ments of the soil ensured tbe return to vast advantage of all that was expended on if. The banker partook of his gains, and so did tbe tradesman, in tbe increased emand for his goods both by landlords . and tenants, and by the banker's allowance of 3 or 4 per cent, nstead of for balances in their hands which they hen knew how aud when lo make a gain tiv. The scheme proposed of new- modelling the Bank of England, and allowing more than five persons to con- stitute a firm, will do nothing to secure the public against monopoly of money and credit, or tbe loss of their property. Let but Bankers' estates and settle- ments : he set aside till their notes are discharged, and tlrere will be as much security as the case will admit. This may be done by a Parliamentary provision to enable trustees and persons concerned to consent. This . would prevent speculations and the novel monster of a Monied Market, totally inconsistent with the security of property. Let Usury he again impossible, as it was before the war. In refutation of Mallhus'a unfounded speculation, nd to confirm an extract from M. Rollin's Account of the Aris and Sciences of the Ancients, which I request you to insert iu your Journal, I beg leave to lay before ' your readers of all descriptions the statement of a very aged, opulent, and intelligent farmer in my- neigh- bourhood : — Before the late war, he says, the country about 11 him was very poor and unproductive, the farmers " could hardly make a living on lands then let for te4s. 6d. and 5s.- an acre. Wheat could not he grown ot all, and the crops of muncorn and barley were very poor. By the improvement in tbe prices of 41 grain, &. C. the farmers were enabled and encouraged to carry lime and manure from towns and to cuiti- '' vate the. land in a superior manner, the consequence I was that wheat was substituted for rye and mun- " corn, and the crops three or four times as large, and " land better worth to tbe farmer five times the rent, "• than it was before." This is the best method then to increase property. But let us hear what that profound Historian and Philosopher, M. Rollin, a Frenchman, wrote about 100 years ago. CHAP." I.- OF AGRICULTURE. I may justly place Agriculture at the head of the Arts, which has certainly the advantage of all others, as well with regard to its antiquity as its utititr/. It is become, by the singular goodness of God, in a manner the mother and nurse of the human race. It is in effect the source of solitl wealth and treasures of a real value, which do not depend upon " the opinion of men ; which suffice at once to necessity " and enjoyment; hy which a nation is in no want of its neighbours, and often necessary to them; which make the. principal revenue of the state, and supply " the defect of all others, when they happen to fail. " Though mines of gold nnd silver should be ex- " bausted, and the. spedes made of them lost-, though (< pearls and diamonds should remain hid in the womb " of the earth and of Ihe sea; though commerce with " strangers should be prohibited; though all arts, " which have no other object but embellishment and " splendour, should be abolished; the fertility of tbe " earth alone would afford an abundant supply for the <( occasions of the public,— and furnish subsistence both for the people and the armies to defend it. " We ought not to be surprised, therefore, that Agri- <( culture was in so much honour among the ancients ; <( it ought rather to seem wonderful, tiiat it ever should (< cease to be so, and that of all professions, the most " necesiari/ and most indispensable should have fallen " into so great contempt. We have seen in the whole t( course of onr history, that the principal, attention of II tbe wisest princes and the most able ministers, was to ( t support and encourage husbandry. Kt What history relates of tbe opulence of several 11 cities of Sicily, and in particular of tbe immense 4< riches of Syracuse, of tbe magnificence of its build itigs, of the powerful fleets it fitted out, and the " numerous armies it bad on foot, would appear incre- " dible, if not attested hy all the ancient authors. ( c From whence can we believe, that Sicily cenld (< raise to support such enormous expenses, if not from " the increase of their lands, which were improved by " wonderful industry ? — Leaving the lands at Rome u in the latter times, when luxury was got to its " height, to be cultivated by slaves and mercenaries, " was one of the great and imprudent neglects re- " marked by all the writers upon this subject in the " latter times ; because, to cultivate lands properly " it is necessari/ lo take pleasure and be delighted wilh " the worlc, ami for that end to find il for one's interest " and gain to follow it." This was wisdom formerly: what then can be thought o: the late professed discouragers of husbandry, or of those who persist in such a system ? What is to he thought of the policy of sacrificing agriculture and its certain rich home trade, for the precarious ephe. literal prospects of foreign commerce I B. J.

CHARLES KNOWLF. S, Clerk to the Trustees. SHREWSBURY, 14TH FEB 1826. St @ ftur FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. Whoever has visited the campanile or bet fry of St. Chad's Steeple, must have been astonished at the oversight of the ilcler in placing the floor so much lower than the bottom of the windows, whereby the bells seem as if they were hung in - well. In consequence of this, it was deemed advisable in May, 1824, that the hour should he announced on the Tenor Bell upwards:— this plan succeeded tolerably well, at.. least the sound was heard considerably further " fhari before.* This bell, however* not being- a. g- ood one, and the consequent in - terruption it'occasioned in having to be lowered for funerals, chiming, See. it was very wisely determined, at a meeting of the Trustees about this time last year, to have it changed for one with additional metal; and 1 will embrace this oppor- nity of stating, that a finer toned bell than it is could not possibly be cast-.--- but still it must be acknowledged, that the expectations of many parishioners were disappointed as to its sov- hd not being Jouder. To remedy this defect it is with much pleasure I have iewed the removal of some of the remarkably close lattices, r weather- boards, in the belfry windows— which has im- proved the appearance of the steeple, as well as the sound of the bells. I beg leave, therefore, to suggest, to THE TRUSTF. ES OF ST. CHAD'S CHURCH the propriety of enlarging the campanile windows, by removing the stone pannels and interior brick- work at the bottom of them to the base of the Corinthian pilasters:— this, .1 think, is essentially necessary, as it would not only improve the general effect of this part of the steeple, hy giving it a much lighter appearance, but the bells, especial!./ those on which the clock strikes, would be heard to still greater advantage, by a larger expansion being given to the sound: — must also be apparent, that when sound is too much con- fined in steeples, it is not unfrequently injurious to the structures themselves. That, the lowering of the windows as before stated would improve the appearance of St. Chad's steeple, cannot be doubted by any one who has seen the engraving of St. Chad's Church published in 1791, from which it appears to~ have been the original, design of the Architect to have them, as I have suggested, carried down to the base of the belfry ; t and which may'get be done at a very trifling expense, without weakening or injuring any part of the steeple ;-- indeed the old materials woujd nearly cover, the expense, whilst the improvement would be evident to every observer. PERCY. Shrewsbury, Feb. 13th,' 1826. I have visited many Church Steep! est, but was never more yleased with, the situation af bells in a tower than by St. Mary's, in our town-- probably this is one reason why they are heard to such a distance— but of this on a future occasion. + Also see a small yiew in that neat and useful little: pub'li- . tion-.-" The Stranger in Shrewsbury." FINE ARTS. We presuriie sO'ch of our readers as are admirers of, he Fine Arts, will he gratified to learn that Mr. FOSTER, the ingenious Artist, whose merits as a Profilist are so generally admitted,' is now in SHREWS- BURY, We have seeii specimens that convince us Mr. F.' s merit and experience render him pre- eminently superior to all competitors iu that pleasing art, which he has so long and so successfully prac tised. These observations we apply tiiore particu- larly to the extreme! v high and delicate finishing, so conspicuous in Mr. F.' s bronzed profiles. Bis profes sional abilities we have witnessed with extreme satis- faction, and can assure our readers that the superior I'orrectness and elegance of his performances, are such as cannot fail to please those who may inspect them, iind we are confident our generous and judicious amateurs will not withhold their liberal patronage from so much merit as this ingenious professor of the art evidently possesses. Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief master- piece is painting well. No kind of work requires so nice a touch, And if well finished, nothing shines so much.

POACH Ells.— At ihe Lancaster County Session", i Friday week, William Winyard, William Parr, Peter Athertojj, Joseph Atherlon, and Thomas Huy- ton, were tried . fur, poaching in a wood at Latham, belonging lo' E. B, Wilhrahain, Esq. whue they were found armed with guns, bludgeons,^ & c. Mr, Kaincock staled the case to the jury, and explained the nature ? nd intent of Ihe act of parliament, which made it a misdemeanour in any individual « o be found armed in the night time in a wood or ground* The act was intended lo, prevent crimes of a seriout nature. When the gamekeeper, who, with his as. sistants, discovered ihem, asked them what they were doing there, one of them said in military style,' " fall in, halt, dress;" an order which the others obeyed, aud shots were instantly tired. The game- keeper was a man of spirit; he did not return the fire* but rushed in ' with his assistants, and secured the men. The prisoners^ however, were only five of the thirteen who were present on the occasion, ihe rest having fled from justice.—- ffy the evidence ^ t appear- ed, that they first fired, a shot at a dog- of ihe game- keeper's, and afterwards at hi& v and that he and his party fired upon the poachers. Some pheasants were afterwards found otr the ground where the scuiHe took place. The prisoners were found guilty. The chairman in passing sentence sa'id, it would be idle to expect that persons who could make up their minds commit such a n& iademcano. ur would listen to any thing which he mTght say to them, and that the court, feeling ( hat imp v i so si men t would have no effect upon them., sentenced ihem to Seven years' 1 transportation* STEAM ENGINES— TB: e Bristol Journal > 4 Sat nr. day says— u It is not, deviating far from the truth to say, that notwithstanding the astonishing improvements" already made in the powers 6f Steam, dial the science and the manufacture of these Engines are yet iu their infancy During a lecent visit to the metropolis, a much- valued and intimate friend invited us lo the inspection of ari i'nveniioii, which promises to create at new era in arts ap< t" manufacture*. It consists of ati apparatus for the generating of steain, the invention of Dr. Ernest A'lban. a Physician of Rostock, in Mechlen- burg, who lias been' in London for the last few months^ Mocuring the necessary . patents, and superintending he erection' of au'apparatus. It consists of a serfes of una!!, tube* inserted in a bath of easftly fusible m^ tal, and the degree of beat thus obtained and kept up, io great, lhai water, when injected by a forcing pump nto the tubes, is imitautly converted into steam at a. very high pressure; while by reason of the peculiar construction of the generating vessels, and their being withdrawn from the immediate and destroying influence! f the fire,' all possibility of danger is avoided. This mode of . generating steam is found to he so economical in respect of lite ftVei enfptuyed, ( hat the apparatus we were shewn^ which is capable of producing and keep- ing up a constant supply of steam sufficient for art engine of 14- borse power, consUiut s only five bushels of coals in twelve hours,- or at the rateof 3fiibs of coals per hour; the qfuan'tity of coal required to product an equal volume of s lea in by the ordinary method, being after the rate of lS7lhi. per hour. It is needless to enlarge upon the greal importance of this saving- in all cases ; but in how peculiar a degree is it valuable iii steam navigation, au ait which rs, as it were, just start- ing into existence, and fraught with eouftequenc^ s so important, both commercial and political? Had the? Enterprise beeu furnished with Dr AI ban's Patent Apparatus for her Indian voyage, one half of the quan- tity of coal she carried fronr the Thames vvou'd have sufficed for tl. e whole distance to Calcutta,.-' steaming » !! the way, instead of being compelled to sail one half of ber voyage to the Cape, where she nevertheless arrived wlili a supply of coal only sufficient fur the consumption of t- wo days; Ry reason of thi* important saving, smaller vessels irt iy be employed, navigated by engines of less powef, thus occasioning a still further reduction of expeiice; or > f Vessels of equal magnitude are still employed, the remaining space will offer another source of profit in the way of freight. Another considerable advantageof Dr. Alban's Apparatus consists in its little bulk. That which we have seen, including the furnace and ( lues, with all the necessary brick- work, occupies ** space of 6 feet long, 5; j fed. high, and 3 feet deep ; and we understand that a generating apparatus, calculated lor an engine of 100- horse power, would stand in the space of l£ feet in length, 10 feel in height, and 3 feet in depth. This apparatus is capable bl being applied to all en'gines,- whclher worked vvith high pressure, oi* with atmospheric pressure steain. Dr. Alban has con- structed a new steam engine, which we have also seen, and which possesses very great merit* and advantages;, but as tlie invention is not yet specified* we cannot, of course, give any explanation of its construction."

ASSIZES' JURORS. The improvements introduced into ihe system <* f the trial b\ Jury, under the provisions of ihe Statute of ih? » last SesMons, introduced hy Mr. Secretary Peel, have been ihe subject of unqualified approhairon by uiea of all parties- and stations, in and out oi' Parliament. The machinery for carrying the system into effect has beeu some time in operation, preparatory to the now near approaching assizes; and we are persuaded we cannot employ a portion of our columns more usefully or more importantly, than in communicating- to the great body of Ihe public ihe' new situation in w hich many of them will be placed ; informing them of their duties, their obligation to perform them carefully, and the certain penalties which will follow upon' their neglect or disobedience.

Fox- Hunting in Warwi hshire, BY KIMP. OD. After hunting with Ihe Dnke of Beaufort, at Hey thorpe, I trotted down into Warwickshire, and took lip my abode at Alscot Park, the seat of Mr. West which was my head- quartet's during my stay in that county. I had the pleasure of finding my old and kind friend not only in high health and spirits, but fctill more in character than 1 bad ever seen before, being master of an excellent pack of harriers, which lie set up the beginning of lite season, and which Lave afforded excellent sport. Being one of those • who do nothing by halves, he has built for them one of the best kennels I ever saw in my life, just on ihe outside of his Park, which, with the addition of u few more square feet in each of the apartments, • would accommodate a park of fox- hounds. His gritss- yard is a hundred feet square, with a tine supp'y of water ; his huntsman's house adjoins it; and the tout ensemble may, without any exaggera- tion or " blarney," be taken for a model. Of liis bounds 1 must not say too much, having pur- chased great part of them for him iu the summer; but they have gotten an excellent name in the coun- try already, artd as his blood* is good, aud he has plenty of room lo breed, he will be certain of a good kennel of hounds in time; but " Rome was not built jti a day ." My friend mountB his men well—( Differ- ed him one hundred guineas for one of bis hustsmen's horses, and he laughed at me)— and 1 was surprised to see, on two out of four days I was out with him, from 50 to GO well- mounted sportsmen in the field. On Saturday, the 10th, I met the Warwickshire hounds at Compton Verney, the seat of Lord Wil- loughby— esteemed one of their best fixtures. We found instantly, and ran him more than half an hour, with only one trifling check. Two peculiarities attended this burst. The pace the hounds went at was tremendous, but from the short and curling manner in which the fox ran—. almost equal to that of a hare on her foi!— it was most difficult to keep with f hem.- The hard st riders were baffled, audit more than once happened that the last became first, and the first nearly last. There was, however, what the Irishmen call, some " wicked riding" on this day— at leasf, every other fence being timber, with a good yawniug Squire- trap on one side or the other. In spite of the useful practice of tying on the hat, two men were going well, bare headed, viz. Mr. Meyrick ( who always goes well), and an Irish gentleman, named Lee, who was staying at Lea- mington. I saw Mr. Lee charging some very rough places, in a line of his own, apparently quite regard- less of cousequences.- f He rode st good sort of Irish horse that should not have been allowed fo have crossed the Channel again, which I understand he has since done. I was much pleased with his man- ner of taking his fences, He went close up to them before he sprang, and did them in a very mas- terly manner. There were two bad accidents in this run/ Mr. Williams ( son to the General) staked his horse, and Mr. Holding, of Burford, injured his in the shoulder in a most extraordinary manner, without knowing how he did it. On Monday, the 12th, went, out with Mr, West's harriers, but had no sport— for two reasons; first, we had no scent; and, secondly, we had too many hares— almost as bad as no hares at all. In the evening, met Mr. Hay and a pleasant party, at Mr. Knightley's, of Offchurch, and hunted with the Warwickshire at Hampton Wood on t e next day. Hampton Wood is a bad fixture; but we got a gallop from it, which is as much as we could expect, when the rain came ou so heavy that we were glad to get towards home. On Wednesday, saw some very pretty sport with Mr. West's harriers, iu one of the finest countries in England ( thjt fine grass vale below Mayue Hill), and on the following day met the Warwickshire at TJfton Wood. The covert being central, we had a large field ; bat, what is rare, we drew it blank. We found again iu Itchingtqn Heath, which never fails, and killed him without much spo: t. TJfton Wood is peculiarly situated. In some directions, a fox can lead you over as fine a country as England can shew, and in others about the worst. This shews fhe necessity of the field leaving open that side of the covert from which it is desirable that a fox should break. There was to me, and indeed it must ' nave been to every one, a very agreeable sight on this day in the field. This was Mrs Shaker, ley ( the lady of Mr. ' Shakerley, jun. of Somerford Hall, Cheshire), upon her beaufiluf, 1 might almost say superb, horse, The Golden Ball, It would beexcOseable in any but one so attached to the noble animal a » myself lo admit, that he hesitated foi- a moment between a horse and a woman ;' but really, at fi'rst sight,, I scarcely knew which most to admire, The Golden Ball or his rider, though 1 soon determined in favour of the lady. Sirs. Shakerley is a French lady of high birth, and certainly ( I must except none) the most graceful horse- woman 1 ever saw upon a horse. The Lady Eveline herself, on her white palfrey, could net have excelled her. Her hand, as well as her seat, i3 quite perfect, and I understand she has aone very well once or- twice in Leicestershire. There was a Foreign Nobleman also in the field this day who attracted my notice, and who, I thought, sat with much grace upon his horse. This was the Marquis Herrara, an American Spaniard, from Cuba, and heir, as I was told, to £ 30,000 per annum. He was on a visit to Mr. Shakerley, and having no establishment in England, contented himself with going out with the hounds on a Lea- mington hack, w hich he rode gallantly for two days, charging no less than six gates iu that time. An awkward fall, 1 understand; made him a little more cautious afterward, but Mr. Shakerley told tne he meant to have a stad of hunters in this county next season. The Marquis has, asl before stated,. a most grace- Cut seat on his horse; and ( perhaps correctly enough) attributed the number of falls he witnessed in the field fo Englishmen sitting so ill upon their saddles. Englishmen, iu general,- certainly, are bad horsemen, though not so bad at present as they were twenty years ago, when they rode with their stirrup- leathers very touch shorter than they noyv have them. I have never been hi France,- neither have 1 seen much of French people; but 1 confess 1 was struck with the easy and elegant way ill which the Marquis Herrera rode up lo Madame Shakerley, and ad dressed her in the field. There was a softness in bis language which ours can in vain aspire to; and I do not wonder at its being asserted, that the Devi] spoke French to Eve, iu the garden of Eden, when he persuaded her to taste the forbidden, but no doubt delicious, fruit. I might lose my charter ( so kindly granted to me) were 1 not now and then to introduce a humorous anecdote, and my present subject happily affords one.— On one of the days on which the Marquis was out with the hounds, he got into a field of wheat and was riding about it without being aware that he was injuring it, when he was called to account by the owner of it, who was not in the best humour at the time. In short, he was armed with a large stick, and threatened summary punishment. The Marquis, in French, was endeavouring to pacify him, and happened to make use of the word " co? n- ment" or " how." Now, we all know, that this word is pronounced com- ong, which the irritated farmer taking for come on, he immediately exclaim- ed—" yes, damn your eyes, I'll come on," and put himself in attitude to fight. John Bull is a surly fellow ; but if he had understood the Marquis, he would have accepted the proffered apology, 1 abhor profaueness; but it is as much as 1 can do to resist a smile, when 1 heard the words " damn your eyes," vociferated from the mouth of a rough Englishman. They are truly English, and, trans- lated irito any other language, they are as harmless as a blessing. Lord Byron calls them " Those syllables intense, Nucleus of England's native eloquence." On Saturday, the 17th, met the Warwickshire at Walton Wood, the seat of Sir John Mordaunt, when a fine day's sport was shewn. There was aburning scent; and with our first fox the hounds ran away from every one for twenty minutes— the field being obliged to go around to a bridge over a Hooded river. We found again about two o'clock, and, after three attempts lo go away, he put his head straight for the Edge Hills— going over a very fine country of about ten utiles extent. When the hounds got to the Hill— as is too often the case— they got upon a fresh fox; and having of course beaten the horses over this very severe ground, it was impossible to stop them, and away they went. Mr. Hay followed the line of them till it got quite dark, when, not knowing the country, he was obliged to give up the pursuit; and though Will Boxall, the whipper- in, succeeded in getting hold of some, a part of the pack were out all night. Had it so happened, that the hunted fox had been killed at the bottom of Edge Ilill, this would have been as fine a run as, probably, the present season may afford. It so happened, from the several baffling- attempts which this fox made to break from Bowshot Wood — the covert in which he was found— that very few got well away with the hounds. All the Warwick- shire old hands were, to a man, thrown out, and some of them ( amongst whom was myself) never knew which way the hounds were gone until ail chance of catching them was at an end. Vexatious as this was, it was useless to repine ; but it proves what I have before said, viz. that it is better to through a covert after hounds, at certain times, than to keep outside it, with the hope of a good start, which hope may never be realized. It is scarcely fair to pronounce upon the merits of a case without ocular demonstration ; but I heard it very generally admitted, even by those who went well themselves, that Mr. Francis Holland, and Mr. Patrick ( a gentleman farmer from Worcestershire), ou his famous little marc, Mr. Cockbill, junior, and Mr. Dews, had the best of this run. The next morning ( Sunday) I accompanied Mr. Hay to the kennel— four miles distant from Welles- burne, where he resides. Barring its situation^— tod much in the dirt-— it is quite sufficient for the purpose, and the stables very good indeed. In the latter were twenty- three hunters for Mr. Hay and his two men, and 1 consider them very well adapted for the purpose. There did not appear to be one low- bred horse among them : several of them quite thorough- bred ; and, I might almost say, all possess- ing botte and substance, without which they are of no use iu Warwickshire—' certainly one of the deep- est and most trying countries- in England. They are in the hands of an excellent groom, Morris, whom I remember when he lived in the service of Mr. Lechm'ere Charlton, and Mr. Hornyold. I was glad to see Jack Wood § looking in good health; but I did not like him so well iu his white jeau coat, and on his feet, as 1 did last year, in the bit of pink and the black cap, on the old white mare. There,, he yvas quite at home; one of the neatest handlers of a nag that 1 ever came along side of iu the field, and in all respects clever.—•'! very much like the appearance of Mr. Hay's first whippet- in. Will Boxall. He abounds in zeal, without which nothing can be done well. On Monday, the 19th, I met the Warwickshire at Stoneleigh Abbey, that princely seat of Mr. Chandos Leigh ; but the day and our sport were both so bad, that 1 have nothing to say. Although I have nothing fo Say on the sport or occurrences of this day, I have one remark to make respecting the country 1 was in, Warwickshire is not— neither do I suppose it will ever be-— what Warwickshire was.— Berricot Wood, the best part of this draw, is now given fo Lord Anson, Fraukton Wood— Ihe very best covert in the woodlands"—- is now drawn by Lord Anson. Ditto, Dubclell, a gorse on Sir Theophilus BiddulpS's property, whence his Lordship has had such fine sport these tyvo last seasons'. It may be said they cannot be given to a better man— which 1 readily agree to ; but what is become of the M riden country— the finest wood- land country in the world— the country that, when Mr. Corbet hunted Warwickshire, produced such sport— such real sport to real lovers of fox- hunting ? 1 answer— It is gone! The Warwickshire wood- lands are now termed " The Kenilvvorth country," which may be said to be a bad exchange. In short, Warwickshire is shorn ofitsbeams; aud they never, I fear, will break forth again. Mr. Hay rides very well up to his hounds, and his language— particularly his cheer in chase— is both enlivening aud < orrect. Whether he is a huntsman, Warwickshire will pronounce before the season is over, for his powers will be often put to the test That lie has got the good wishes of the country, ail persons admit, for he is entitled to them. In socie- ty, the manners of Mr. Hay are particularly mild and agreeable, but his conduct with his hounds is firm. Having, at the commencement of the season, . lost the chance of some runs, by the over eagerness of his field, he adopted the best method of preventing a recurrence of the disappointment. He addressed his brother sportsmen iu a short but pithy speech, when on the point of finding bis fox, aud he begged to explain the literal acceptation of those two little monosyllables—" HOLD HARD!" One word to the wise has ever been esteemed sufficient; and two in this instance had a most happy effect ; for no field has been better kept than Warwickshire ever since that hour, aud much to its credit be it told. Where is the man who has not pressed upon hounds in his time; and where is the man, who, in the ecstacy of the sport, may not do il again?* But it is almost always to his own cost. Where is there a more pleasing sight than to see a huntsman go forth with his pack, and make his east unmolested by the crowd : It is here that hunting is displayed! On the other hand, what can be less pleasing to a true sportsman, than to see hounds Working— and working, perhaps, in vain— in the midst of ' he horses, with their huntsmen dissatisfied and grum- bling— with a good fox and a fine country before them. hope ( well founded to some extent we fear) that he would prove a mischievous representative to the University which it unceasingly persecutes with slander. It were unjust, however, fo let Mr. Canning suffer by the praise or dispraise of the Morning Chronicle; let him be judged by his own merits, but let those merits be well weighed before fhe University proceeds to the extent of recanting its recorded determination, and even of violating one of its fixed laws in his favour. Mr. Canning is a man of great and splendid talents, but he is not a man of greater or more splendid talents than the late Mr. Fox or the late Mr. Sheridan. Indeed, when a juxta- position enabled the public to measure fairly their respective powers, Mr. Canning stood somewhat below the great men whom we have named; yet nobody ever thought either of them a fit. representative for the University of Oxford. Mr. Canning was, however, connected with the' University. This is a very near and dear relation, but the duties which grow out of it are reciprocal, and the first service is undoubtedly due from the pupil. The services rendered to his mother uni- versity, or to his mother church, by Mr. Canning, during a very long and very active political life,- have, we confess, escaped us. He has before now done much for Gaiton and Old Sarunt; but who ever heard of his offending the " march of intellect" men, by one effort in favour of the established system of education, or the national church. If the Uni- versity should now, therefore, forget Mr. Canning's connexion with it, it will not be before he set them the example. These are negative veasons for Oxford's looking elsewhere for a representative. And surely there arc motives to the same end of a< j positive character in the Right Hon. Gentleman's indefatigable zeal in the cause of the Roman Catho- lics, in bis notorious private connexion with that party, who have all but avowed their design € f overthrowing the national church; and Who, have attempted to beard the Universities by the erection of th eir Infidel College, There is also the rule of their University, that the representatives should not be both of Christ Church— a wise one, perhaps, under any circumstances; and which, in the present case, demands peculiar regard, because its violation would seem to enhance greatly the tribute of appro- bation to Mr. Canning's principles in politics and religion rendered in his election.

BYRON'S DON JUAN. Representation of the University rf Oxford. The folloyving is a copy of a letter by which Mr. Heberhas signified to the heads of Colleges iu Oxford his resignation of his seat in Parliament: " BRUSSELS, JAN. 17,1820. " Y'ou will, perhaps, be surprised to find that I have ceased to aspire to the Representation of the University, and that I have communicated to the Vice- Chancellor, by the present post, my resolution of applying, immediately, for the Cbiltern Hundreds. " Highly as I prize so distinguished an honour, it is my fixed determination to retire into private life, feeling-, as 1 have done for some time, the irksomeness of parliamentary attendance, and desirous of increas- ing, as much as possible, the enjoyments of my literary leisll re. " While 1 bid adieu to the enviable situation to which the kindness of my academical friends litis ruised me, it would be ungrateful to omit the wannest and strongest expressions of affection and regard for that distinguished society to which I have rite honour to belong, and over which you so worthily preside. Within ils Willis, I received my education; in its literary anil convivial circles, I have passed many of the happiest of my days ; and to the cordial sup- port and zeal of its members, stimulated and directed by your excellent and lamented predecessor, 1 must mainly ascribe my late flattering elevation. " Allow lite to request, therefore, that ynu will express to tbe Fellows and Resident Members of It. N. C. how forcibly I ant impressed with these sentiments, and how earnestly I desire its prosperity, with a filial devotion, not unworthy, I trust, cf my great aud numerous obligations. " Yours, & c. & c. " RICHARD HEBER." " To the Principal." ! Mr. Templer's. • j- Nothing short of the ardour of the cliasc would induce a man to be torn, as it were, through a strong black- thorn fence at the rate of twelve, miles an hour, without any thing to protect his bead aud face. Consequences, however, tire out of sight, in these happy moments, when things nre going well, and the music tingling in the year. The following- is no bad exemplar;- One day last season, Bob Oldaker, whipper- in to ihe Old Berkeley fox- hounds, was riding at a fence, determined to catch his hounds. 44 Tnke cure what ynu tire at, Boh !" said a gentleman to him, 11 there is a hell of a place on the other side." — " Thank ye, Sir," replied Bob, " but a ditch or a coal- pit is all one to me;" and he never turned his head. A very unusual bustle ( says the St. James's Chronicle J prevails at this moment among the newspapers upon a point of some public interest; that subject is the election of a successor to Sir. Heber, iu the representation of the University of Oxford. All the journals of all parties, the Morning Chronicle, and the Courier, the Representative, and the Morning Herald, the Old Times, and the New, nil cry out for Mr. Canning.— We confess thatvto us there appears something extremely suspicious in this wonderful agreement of the most opposite par- ties in recommending one, who, from the duties of his station, ought to be an active politician. When all men join ill applause of a Judge, a Bishop, or even a King, the presumption is that the applause is just, because the duties of the Pastor and the Magistrate happily abstract them from the necessity of conflict with any; but in the contest of parties militant, which makes up the practical working of our constitution, the universal popularity of a Minister seems to be capable of solution by one hypothesis only, namely, that the party universally popular owes the support of one side to his office— that of the other to his supposed principles of Government. Let us take, for illustration, the case before us. The recommendation of a Minister by the Courier, Morning Post, & c. needs no explana- tion. The. Morning Chronicle, however, hopes that " the University of Oxford will do itself the honour of electing Mr. Canning." Now does any one believe that the Morning Chronicle loves the Uni- versity of Oxford so much as to concern itself about the honour of that learned body? Nay, is it not notorious that the Morning Chronicle omits no opportunity to malign and degrade, not only both the Universities, but that sacred order with which they are intimately connected. The opposition journalist, too, cannot be much interested in the honour oi- success of Mr. Canning, as a member of that Government to which it, and its patrons, have been unremittingly opposed for nearly twenty years. Why, then, does the Morning Chronicle recommend Mr. Canning? We confess we can find no other motive but the opinion ( a false one we trust) that the Right Hon. Gentleman is an insincere Mr. Canning, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Huskisson. RIVINGTON'S Annvat Register, for 1824, has just made its appearance. The character of this work is too well established to need any commendation of ours. The historical part is written in a judicious style, and mixes, as the historian should do, philo- sophical observation with narrative. Perhaps we cannot select a better specimen of the author's manner than the following short sketch of the introduction of the three distinguished statesmen above- mentioned into the Cabinet:— " It must be admitted that there was something of peculiar good luck in the circumstances which bronght the present FOREIGN SECP- ETARY and the CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER into power, precisely at the period when the general prospects of the state had begun to assume a brighter aspect; when, to use the common phrase, the corner of our difficulties had been in a manner turned, and the period of sacrifice and privation was about to be succeeded by general improvement iu our resources, aad gradual remission of the pressure of public burdens. But we do hot think that the popularity of the Ministers above- mentioned is altogether ascribable to this circumstance, or that much of it is not to be directly attributed to the more enlarged and enlightened views which seem to mark the measures of the Cabinet since the period of the changes in question." " That it should fall to the lot of the present CHAKCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to take off taxes; instead of laying them on, as was the more invidious duty of his predecessor, is no- doubt to be ascribed to circumstances over which neither the one nor the olher of those statesmen could exercise any effectual co.- itrol; but there still remains much to applaud in ihe simplicity and directness of Mr. Robinson's financial arrangements, and exposition, -- and in the manner in whieh he has sought to make the remission of taxation co- operate towards the revival of our foreign trade. So with respect to the more enlarged and enlightened system which Mr. HUSKISSON has introduced into our commercial and colonial policy.- After admitting the full merit ofhis predecessors at the Board of Trade, for the opening which they had made to this important change, it must be allowed that the present Pre- sident has carrie, 1 a spirit into those measures more decided arid systematic of reform, which promise to accomplish within no very distant period the most important revolution which our commercial history has witnessed." " Mr. CANNING'S peculiar merit, we think, lies much less in the particular course of proceeding which he has adopted in these transactions, than in the language he has used, anil the principles which he has put forward iu justification of that course. In saying this we are very far from in- tending auy depreciation of tie value of his ser- vices; on the contrary, none can rate them more highly. In these days of tha almost paramount authority of public opinion, the language of the English Minister is perhaps of as much importance as his measures. Our simple protest against the invasion of Spain, grounded as it was upon a general disclaimer of the principles on which that act of aggression was professed to be founded, was a measure probably of more salutary consequence to the liberties of Europe than would have been the expedition of a fleet and army to the assistance of the Spanish Constitutionalists, if attributable to no other purpose than that of resisting the political preponderance which France was about to acquire in the Peninsula. It is much less by the steps which he has adopted, thau the tone in which he has spoken, that Mr. CANNING has, to use the phrase of the French politicians, placed his country at the head of civilization. We doubt not but that a large, powerful, and growing party, throughout Europe, look up to him as the best assertor of their principles, and the most effectual protector of their rights. This is an high, but critical and arduous situation ; Mr. Canning, we are sure, perfectly appreciates all ils importance and glory; and has hitherto manifested no want of that refined discre- tion and delicate precision, which is necessary to guide both his movements and his language in a position of such nice and complicated difficulty eolleague to the Ministry which it opposes, and the iSfUsceUancoHs Knmngencc. COUNTRY BANKS— On Wednesday night, in the House of Commons, Mr. Calcraft inquired of Mr. Ilerries ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer being absent), whether theGovernmenthad exerted so extraordinary a stretch of power as to give directions to the Stamp Office to refuse to affix stamps lo certain notes of country bankers? Mr. Herries replied that the Government had deemed it prudent so to interfere— to order that the Stamp Office should suspend the affixing of stamps to the one and two- pound notes of country bankers. As the intentions of Government respecting those notes bad already been intimated by the Chaueellor of the Exchequer, and as the discussion was to be brought forward on Friday, it was deemed advis- able, under all the circumstances, to adopt such course. Mr. Calcraft expressed his regret that the Ministers had not deemed it proper, if the emergency of the case required the suspension of stamping such notes, to authorize the act by a short Bill, which could have passed both Houses in one night. The conversation then dropped. BANKING SYSTEM. At the Candlemas Meeting of the Herefordshire Agricultural Society, on the 6th instant, a discussion took place on the banking system of tbe country, when the general opinion was, that Country Banks of respectability were far preferable to branch establishments of the Bank of England, on a variety of accounts, and particularly from the greater facility of forgery in one case thau in the other. It appears from the racing calendar of last, year that the value of the different plates, & e. won by the Duke of Grafton's horses, amounts to upwards of £ 13,000 for that season. The name of the Rev. Rowland Hill was on Monday substituted for that of the Hon. H. G. Bennet, as a Member of the Society for the Employ- ment aud Reformation of Offender*, One of those tom- fooleries which used to be very frequent some years ago, took place on Wednesday. A meeting was held in London, for the purpose of endeavouring- to secure the return of the renowned William Cobbett to Parliament by public subscrip- tion.— A Sir Thomas Beevor, ( one of Sir Charles Wolseley's sort, we suppose,) with a Col. Johustoii, M. P. for Boston! the celebrated Mr. Hunt, and others of the same stamp, were present.— Whether the subscription is to be a penny one, or not, has not yet been determined. We are informed by the Paris Papers, that an Englit- h Baronet has been convicted of swindling. We wish his name had been given to prevent his further depredations on the public. We have another reason for wishing his name should be known. Several self- created Sirs have lately infested London and tbe Continent.—- An ex- attorney, lately brought before the Insolvent Court, it appears, assumed the title of Sir, and when questioned as to his authority for doing so, said he had been to Rome, aud that the Pope had made him a member of the Equestrian Order, whichj he thought, entitled him to be called Sir.— Another attorney, who absconded to France about a year ago, with the trust money of a gentle- man's estate—' With targe sums, the property of other clients, in debt fo numerous tradesmen, and for house- rent—* has, we are informed, lately returned to England, and uow incog, in or near L. ondon, bas, among his friends, assumed the title of Sir, which he says he has obtained from some Continental Sovereign.— Another of these Self- created Sirs is now in gaol, and to be tried for forgery.— There are at this moment several other adventurers of this description prowling about both here and on the Continent, of whom the public ought to be on its guard, NORTHERN EXPEDITION.— The vessels which have been dispatched by Government lo carry assist- ance to Captain Franklin, anil which are under the command of Captain Beechey, were met will) at Chili by the Lord Byron aud consort, who were on their return from the Sandwich Isles, having there left tbe bodies of the King and Queen. From letters which the Lord Byron bas brought home, it appears that Captain Beechey's ships are at present doing well, though in doubling Cape Horn Ihey bad encoun- tered some severe storms and dtJnsfefoss seas. Upon leaving Chili these vessels will touch nt the Sandwich Isles, and there leave, for the principal inhabitants, some magnificent presents from our Government. After this they will proceed to Behriug's Straits, to join Captain Franklin, who, they imagine, will by that time have arrived there. It was the intention for them to wait until Captain Parry should b,* ve effected his passage through. Of the failure of Capt. Parry's expedition they are at present ignorant, but a vessel bas been dispatched by Government lo inform them of it, when Captain Franklin will immediately return by Cape Horn. Capt. Beechey has orders to make what discoveries he can in the Pacific Ocean, and lo lake drawings and charts of parts that are important, but little known, and to collect all information that is likely to be valuable. Captain Beechey and Capt Hopner, the unfortunate - accident lo whose ship caused the untimely return of Captain Parry's expe- dition, are the sons of eminent artists. The extensive domains of the Countees of Antrim, and Edmund M'Donnelt, Esq. are immediately to be wrought, with reference to their mineral produc- tions, under the direction of some eminent and distinguished English capitalists. Capital and en- terprize are alone required to bring to light the vast resources of Ireland. In these domains, nearly 200,000 acrer, which have been in the possession of the noble family of Antrim for a period exceeding 600 years, are found the valuable ores of copper, lead, and iron, the latter in the greatest possible abundance; with coal, limestone, alabaster, beauti- fully white marble, and marble of different colours; also porphyry marble, freestone, the choicest pot- tery clays, ochres, and clays of various descriptions for porcelain and other uses. The working of the marble quarries in this couuty will prove of the highest importance. By improvements iu ma- chinery, marble can now be sawed and polished by the aid of steam and pressure: a steam- engine of thirty- horse power, is found capable of producing within twelve hours a greater quantity of wrought marble, in sawing and polishing for pilasters, & c. than can be effeeted by one hundred workmen under the old process and manual labour in the same space of time. Such powers of machinery, brought into proper effect on the marble quarries known to exist here in inexhaustible abundance, must produce wealth to the proprietors, and riches to the country. 150,000 tons of coals are annually imported into Antrim from Scotland and England. Very valuable mines of coals exist on the Antrim estate, which, when efficiently worked, must pro- duce the most favourable results to a considerable portion of the province of Ulster.— Irish Paper. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.— Supposed Murder 011 Friday afternorfn, between one and two o'clock, fire was discovered on the premises occupied by Mr, Thomas Price, fustian. manufacturer, of Marsdeu- square; and connected with this event yve have the painful duty to record a most melancholy and fatal. Catastrophe. Mr. Price held the three upper rooms of Ihe building in which the Savings' Bank office is situated. A quantity of smoke was perceived by the clerk at the Savings' Bank to issue from tbe upper part of the premises, when he immediately gave an alarm; and on Mr. Gibson, tbe secretary, accom- panied by some other persons, reaching the top of Ihe staiis, it was found that Mr. Price's rooms yvere completely filled with that kind of exhalation. He attempted to enter them, but was utterly unable to effect his purpose; upon yvhich Mr. Duck, jun. pro cured one of Roberts's safety- bonds, and proceeded into the warehouse. In the first room Mr, Price'i hat was seen lying on the desk, and in the adjoiniu one he himself was discovered by Mr. Duck, ap parently dead, with his head reclining upon a quantity of fustian goods. He was instantly conveyed to the Infirmary, in the hope that life was not extinct; but on arriving there il was found that death had ensued. An examination of the hotly took place, when, in addition to the face being ascertained to be much scorched, a dreadful fracture appeared on the left side of the head, to the extent of three or four inches in length, and an inch in breadth. An inquiry as to the cause of this frightful wound was immediately instituted; but up lo a late hour last night the manner which the unfortunate deceased met with it remained quite enveloped in mystery. The clcrk in Mr. Price's service, and a woman who worked in the rooms, were apprehended in the evening, and under- went examinations, but nothing was eliciteil from their statements that could lead to a discovery of the means by which their employer received the fatal injury.— Soon after tbe fire broke out engines arrived on lite spot, and by an immediate and plentiful ap- plication of water, first on the outside of the building and afterwards within the rooms, the flames were quickly subdued.— Tbe property destroyed, which consisted of fustian pieces, is not lo a considerable amount.— Mr. Price has left a wife and six children to deplore his premature dcalh.— Manchester Chron. Feb. 4. Another of the schemes of last year, which came out under the tempting appellation of " The Gold Coast Association," is, we hear, about to be dissolved, and the deposits, somewhat pared down, returned to the " gulls" who paid them. POST MORTEM EVIDENCE. Tho following curious case came before the Court at the late Bury Sessions:— The case was that of the King ou the prosecution of William Sparrow against Edward Collis. The defendant was indicted for an assault on the prosecutor last November. The prosecutor being called, swore, that the defendant having some dispute with him about some [ pigs, struck him a violent blow on the head and knocked him down dead!!! When he came to life again, he ran to a man in the field, but he was so unsensed by the fatal blow that he did not know him, and called him by a wrong name. This witness being called, proved, that a blow had been struck, but denied that the prosecutor was killed on the spot, as he had himself sworn!— On the part of the defendant, a child nine years of age was called, who was keeping hogs near the fatal spot; but proved, that before the defend- ant had struck the prosecutor, be held up his whip against him in a threatening attitude: and in this he was somewhat corroborated by another boy, and by 110 means contradicted by the prosecutor's wit- ness, who admitted it might have been so and he not have seen it. The Court seetned disposed to give credit to the evidence of the children, but the Jury found the defendant guilty, and he was sen- tenced to 14 days' imprisonment. We believe this is the first case on record, where the witness himself proved that he had received " a fatal blow" and was " knocked down dead on the spot," Ou Thursday night week, a dreadful conflict took place in th& preserves of 11. T. Parker, Esq. at Cuerdon Wood, between the keepers of that gentle- man and a party of poachers. The poachers are stated to be fourteen in number, aud having with them seven guns; the keepers are represented as being more numerous, and were, therefore, enabled more effectually to surround the trespassers, who were at the time engaged in destro' ing the phea- sants. The fire of either party was kept up till every piece was discharged, but that from the keepers was so steady and destructive, that out of the whole fourteen, only two of their adversaries escaped being more or less wounded. Under these circumstanccs, immediate flight was the consequence amongst the poachers, aud notwithstanding their disastrous plight, it seems they all managed to get clear off. Of the three who were the most despe- rately wounded, one has received a considerable number of slugs in his body, a second is said to be equally injured, while a third has been so terribly cut up, that his life is considered in imminent danger.— York Covravf. The following remarkable circumstance took place, under the observation of the gentleman who has favoured us with the particulars. Last spring, when walking in the fields, he saw a small hawk attempting to soar aloft with some prey in its mouth, but evidently the weig' t of its capture prevented its efforts and dragged it towards the earth. It was pursued by a hare, which, ever a » it came within her reach, attacked it with her paws. The hare eventually succeeded in knocking it down when its prey fell from its mouth. At this moment the gentleman ran forward, and the hawk and its pursuer both made their retreat; upon his arriving at the spot where the prey had been relinquished, he found it to be a fine leveret, whose anxious parent had interfered in its behalf. It was wounded in the side of the head, and was bleeding, but tha gentleman left it laid in a furrow, where it would doubtless receive those further attentions from the hare which maternal solicitude' would prompt, but which his presence prevented from being bestowed. — York Herald. A PRIMITIVE CHARACTER— Every body who has been in Teviotdale or Eskdale has heard of, if they have not seen, " daft Jock Grey"— a singular compound of simplicity, shrewdness, and credulity, but so happily are these qualities blended, that tt stranger would sometimes be inclined to question the. propriety of prefixing the epithet, " daft," to his cognomen. Jock has all his life been a wanderer, chiefly in the pastoral districts of Selkirk and Rox- burgshire, is as harmless a creature " as ever brak. the warl's bread," and sings some of the old border balladfe with a pathos and simplicity seldom sur- passed, yvhich makes him a welcome guest at every " farmer's ingle" within the bou. ds of his pere- grinations,. His dress consists of an apology for a hat, which had once been black, but from long exposure fo the weather, has assumed something approaching an ashen hue— it is long since the felt aud lifting parted company; but the loss of the latter is fully compensated by a wisp of hay or straw, a chance stalk of which is occasionally pro- truded through some of the numerous loop holes which surround the crown: his coat is of ample dimensions, the original possessor having been nearly twice his size, it also has been black; but the operation of similar causes haw produced similar, effects on it, as on the hat, so that, they are now nearly of the same eomplexio: — his inexpressibles ' that were once plush o" gude blue hair," have not been able to withstand the ravages of the tooth of time, and now show melancholy symptoms of decay, and seem as much iu need ot being " turned" as those of my uncle Toby did, when Trim discovered that they had been so twic£ already; for the toe- pinching and corn- producing custom of wearing shoes and stockings, he has a rooted aversion. He is a regular kirk- going personage, attends all tbe sacraments for 20 miles round, and. by the help of an excellent memory, and a full developemeut of the organ of imitation ( to speak cranvologically) can give you the " beads and particulars" of any sermon, or imitate " to the life" auy clergyman he has heard for the last ten years. One Suneldy, some time ago, be attended at the parish kirk of K— r the minister of which is celebrated as much for his convivial us his clerical qualifications; having ar- rived early, he mounted the pulps't and commenced singing a psalm; when the reverend gentleman entered he was surprised to find his place pre- occupied by his friend Jock—" Come down, John, come down," said fhe minister—" Na, na," quo' Jock, " come ye up here. Sir, they are a stiff- necked and rebellious people, it ' II tak us baith !!" Nothing is more fallacious than conjectural ac counts of population. That, for instance, of the Burmese empire, containing the Kingdoms of Arra- can, Ava, and Pegn, is estimated by one writer at four millions, by another at eight, by Colonel Syme » at seventeen, and by the American missionaries at nineteen. An Irishman got married t'other day to a girl who, previous to her matrimonial connexions, was em- ployed in a cotton mill in Bridgcton. Pat had never calculated on a cessation from labour, after, marriage, on the part of his amiable spouse, and took an early opportunity of remonstrating with her upon the subject. " O, no," replied his partner, " I married you, not to work for you, but for rest to my bones." " By St. Patrick," retorted the hus- band, " It shall be rest to your jaw- bones, then." Not long since, in Liverpool, as a couple were going to be married, and had proceeded as far as the church- yard gate, the gentleman stopped his fair comrade with the following unexpected ad- dress:—" Mary, during our courtship, I have told you most of my mind, but not all my mind. When we are married I shall iusist upon three things." " What are they ?" asked the astonished lady. " In the first place," says he," 1 shall lie alone; secondly, I shall eat alone : and lastly, 1 shall find fault when there is no occasion— can you submit to these conditions ?,, " Oyes, Sir, very easily," shereplied, " for if you lie alone, / shall not; if you eat alone, I shall eat first; and as to your finding fault without occasion, that I think, may be prevented, for I will take care that you shall never want occas: on/" They were man- vied— and the writer of this wishes them much happiness. Two attornies' clerks, comparing note- together, fell into a very long aucl violent dispute concerning the receipts ot their respective houses. One of them, iu order to give his opponent soma idea of the business done in his establishment, asserted, that they expended annually five hundred pounds in ink. " Poh !" rejoined tbe other," we save more than that a year by uot dotting our i's." BANKRUPTS, FEB. 7.— William Tyrrell, of Ens!
