SOLOMON'S celebrated COR- DIAL BALM OF GILEAD is highly esteemed in the East and West Indies for nourishing aud invigor- ating the Nervous System, and acting as a general Reatoraiive on debilitated Constitutions, arising from Bilious Complaints contracted in hot climates. The cold and tremulous nerves are warmed and steadied; the relaxed fibres, or soft flabby flesh, braced and ren- dered firm; the muscles are invigorated; aud the exhausted vessels replenished. Females and the studious, as well as the sedentary part of the community, should not be without the Cordial Balm of Gilead, which removes diseases in the head, invigorates ( he mind, improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination ; revives aud exhilarates the languid drooping spirits, promotes digestion, and braces the nerves. The virtues of the Cordial Balm of Gilead are daily- demonstrated, in eradicating the most distressing symp- toms of nervous debility ; aud nothing has tended so much to establish ttie fame of this medicine as its certain success in those complaints which strike their roots deeply iu the constitution, aud are so faial to the happi- ness of mankind. By taking this medicine according lo the directions, the deplorable symptoms of disease gradually disappear, and strength, serenity, and every evidence of renovated health, will be the happy result.

SALOPIAN JOUMMAL, AM © € OUKIElR OF WALES* 3mpmal parliaments HOUSE OF LORES- FRIDAY. . Lord CALTKORPE presented Petitions" from Marions places, for the emancipa'ion of the Slaves In the Colonies.— The Petitions having been read, fhe Noble Lord observed, he could not refrain from making a few observations on the subject to which they related. The great question of negro emancipation was now gaining such ground, that he was convinced the present Session cou'd not pass over without the House taking the subject into their most serious consideration. He trusted that some Noble Lord, more equal to the task, would bring it forward: the public voice of the country called for the measure, and in his opinion the safety of the inhabitants of the Colonies also demanded it. Those petitioners had no interest in the question beyond that which arose out of the feelings of humanity. Parliament had already adopted resolutions upon the subject, and he trusted no further delay would take place in carrying into effect the opinions thus expressed by the Legislature. THE CURRENCY. The Earl of LIVERPOOL recapitulated the whole of the. plans proposed by Government for the re- lief of the country; ascribing the causes of the existing difficulties to the panic for speculation, to mining and joint stock associations, and to ex- cessive importation of foreign produce; and main- taining that this speculative disposition of the country had been greatly encouraged by an in- creased circulation on the part of the Bank of England, and by the still more extravagant issues ef country paper. With respect to Scotland aud Ireland, the Noble Earl stated that the alteration in the currency would extend to those kingdoms upon the same principle as in England, but at more remote periods — the issues to cease in Scotland when the circulation has ceased in England. In Ireland, it was considered, one or two years would be sufficient. On the subject of Branch Bank shis Lordship said, that the Bank of England was desirous of originating establishments of the kind, but should the scheme fail, then the Bank would not hold tbe public to their charter, bat would free them before the year 1833. The Earl of LA ® DF. RDALS expressed a strong disapprobation of the time at which Ministers had introduced the project ofa change in the currency, and quoted, from their letters lo the Bank Direc. tors, and from the King's Speech, several passages to show that even in their own opinion the com. merce of the country was rapidly recovering, when they chose to interrupt its restoration to complete health by the unnecessary intrusion of thsirspeculative system. He ascribed a principal part of the | resent distresses to the operation of the sinking fund, which he said by raising un- naturally the price of stocks, lowered the rate of interest throughout the country, and set men upou the wildest speculations to employ their capital, lie then proceeded to defend a paper currency, and referred to the South Sea bubble year to prove that other causes were, without a paper currency, fully adequate to produce all the evils that had lately been experienced; inasmuch as worse evils had occurred iu that year, when a paper currency Was unknown. The Marquis of LANSWOWN spoke at great length in support of the plan of Ministers. With respect to the measure intended for present relief, however, he professed to think that Ministers would have done better to imitate the example of 1793, than by instigating the Bank to purchase Exchequer Bills, the price of which would not, he said, neeessarily find its way to the quarter in • which it was most wanted. The Bill was read a second time without a division. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. An announcement of great interest was made by the CBANCEI. I. OR of the EXCHEQUER. After the Navy Estimates were disposed of, the Right Hon. Gentleman moved the sccond reading of fhe Promissory Note Restriction Bill, and communi- cated to the house the important information, that when the bill went into a committee, it was his intention fo move an amendment, allowing the Bank of England to retain the privilege of issuing notes under five pounds until the month of October next, in order to supply a temporary circulation in those parts of the country were it may be wanted on account of the withdrawing of local uotes. Mr. CALCRAFT seriously advised Ministers to retrace their steps, and allow a more extended term for stopping the circulation of the Country Bank- notes. In the course of a trial in ibe- Common Pleas on Wednesday, one of Ihe witnesses stated' lo Mr. Sergeant Vau<; h » n, who was cross- examining him, that he ( the witness) was a Urine- spinner and mal- manufactuiej:, and dealt in flax and hemp. Mr. Sergeant Vaushan.— I inn sorry to hear, sir, that you deal io hemp ( a laugh). Witness.— I dare say you are, sir, for I make ropes lo hang lawyers ( ureal laughter). Mr. Sergeant Vauglnu.— I hope, Sir, you will keep a little for your own use, for you are very likely ( o want it. Witness.— I shall save enough for you, sir, at all events. The merriment excited by Ibis lit lie dialogue had not long subsided, when it was renewed hy the following circumstance :— The same witness was recalled by the chief Justice Best, ( who, be it recollected, luid tried the action for false aires!,) und asked by his lordship what had ken place at ail interview between Goodwin the younger and Mr. Williams, after the trial? Why, replied ( lie witness, Gooduiir asked Mr. Williams if he ought not lo move to- set aside llie nonsuit. Mr. Williams said, certainly he oughi, as he had good grounds for so doing; aud added, thai " the old judi> e was a d d old fool, or he would have let Hie case go to thejury." The Lord Chief . Justice joined most heartily in Ihe roar of laughter whieh this reply drew from the whole auditory, all but Mr. Williams, who being sealed immediately facing the learned judge, seemed quite overwhelmed wilh consternation at being thus suddenly brought, as it were, lo pay his compliments, vi. f- a~ vis, lo his lordship; aud, fearing be should be considered less courteous thr. il candid in the expression of bis opinion, he most energetically disclaimed Ihe Ian- guage imputed to him. The Lord Chief Justice.— These tilings will happen, Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams, with increased veh'emencc, denied having used any such expressions ; and seemed lo grow very warm on the occasion. The Lord Chief Justice.— Mr. Williams, for once learn temper of me. His Lordship iVn related an anecdote of Lord Kenyon, lo whom, after trying an action one day, one of Ihe parties came back to make a complain! of the other, who had been defeated. " What is it ?" said his lordship. " Why," replied Ihe parly, " he said your lordship was a- rogue, and the1 jury were fouls."— u Well," said Lord Kenyon, I forgive him, and I hope so do the jury.

GREENFIELDS, the Seat of Col. Edwards, was last week the scene of festive joy, in kind acknow- ledgment of the gratifying attentions so generally displayed 011 his late Nuptials with Mrs. Herbert, of Dolforgan, and was filled duriug the whole week with a numerous circle, who partook of every thing that could constitute splendid hospitality and con- vivial enjoyment, heightened by the mirth and good humour of their liberal Host and the many amiable virtues of his lovely Bride. Ou Friday, a Ball was given in a style seldom witnessed in the Principality, attended by the Families of Machynlleth and its neighbourhood, who were received in the Library, where tea, coffee, & c. having been handed round, the doors of the Ball Room were thrown open with a most enchant- ing effect. The room was splendidly illumined, aud tastefully decorated with the inmates of the Green- House, whilst the blaze of Beauty that was ushered in completed a coup d'ceil of dazzling brilliancy. The floor was beautifully chalked, and the motto of " Welcome all" was most happily illustrated by the affable attentions and engaging manners of the charming Hostess. Joy beamed in every eye- rapture glowed in every bosom; nor were the fascinating sprightliness and good- humour of her sister. Miss Johnson, without their effects, as many an admiring Bean can testify; whilst the happy Bridegroom dispensed mirth and kind " welcome to all" around him. Refreshments of every description were iu rapid circulation, whilst the lively country dance and elegant quadrille, in alternate succession, kept the Aberystwith Pandceans in melodious re- quisition until 12 o'clock, when the doors of the Supper Room were thrown open, and the eye became lost in admiration. Here Luxury and Liberality vied with each other iu elegant profusion, arranged with a taste that would have done credit to a Gvnter. French wines and choice fruits were profusely chequered, and combined a tout ensemble that was every thing tlie palate or the eye could wish, The company having partaken of the sumptuous Banquet, Mr. Pryce hastened to anticipate their wishes, and with energetic feeling proposed a grateful bumper ( with 3 times 3) to the Health and Happiness of their Host and Hostess, which was received with thundering acclamation, softened by the harmonizing sweetness of the Ladies' more melodious strains, and responded to by the Voice of the Mouniaics. Col. Edwards then rose amid con- tinued acclamation, aud, in a neat and impressive speech, returned thanks for the honour they had done Mrs. Edwards and himself, by the very Bat- tel ing manner iu which they had received the toast, and more particularly for the additional happiness eouferred upon them by their presence that evening. He then very appropriately proposed as a toast— " May the Single be married, and tbe Married happy"— which was eloquently welcomed by the glistening eyes of tbe Ladies, and hailed with rapture by their enamoured Partners. The Rev. Mostyn Pryce then rose, and with his usual brilliancy, and that glowing feeling which such a subject must naturally inspire, proposed the health of Miss Johnson and the rest of the Ladies who had so charmingly contributed to their enjoy- ment that evening, wbich was drank with rapturous three times three. Mr. Pryce afterwards rose, and, having apologised for again obtruding himself 011 their attention, begged leave to propose the health of a Young Lady who was not included in the last toast, and who although at present unable to speahfor herself, would in future years emulate the eloquence of those eyes which now emblazoned this convivial board: he gave the Health of Miss Herbert, and may the Houses of Greenfields and Dolforgan be for ever united. It is superfluous to say that the toast was received with a rapture that thrilled in every bosom. The Ladies now retired : when Mr. Pryce ob- served, that, heightened as their enjoyment had been that evening— successful as had been the kind efforts of their Host and Hostess, iu leaving nothing undone that could contribute to it,— still they had one wish ungratified— a wish that comprised their fondest hopes and dearest anticipations; but he doubted not, ere the returning year, that wish would be accomplished— those hopes and anticipa- tions realised— in the arrival of a little Playfellow for Miss Herbert: with that appendage, which he had before omitted, he begged leave again to pro- pose the health of Col. and Mrs. Edwards, which was drank most enthusiastically with 3 times 3. The Pandaians now sounded a retreat from this festive board, to sweeter joys that awaited their return to the Ladies; and the Dance was resumed with renewed spirit and animation : aud it seemed universally confessed that '' Pleasure never weav'd a chain Like this to- night; and that ' twas Pain To break the Link so soon." At 4 o'clock, Le Boulanger, in merry round, closed the happy scene ; aud the company retired, each secretly cherishing the fond hope, that " there yet might be a reason fair to ' WELCOME ALL' again." Case of Horrid and Brutal Atrocity Under this title, in our Journal of the 8th fnst. we stated some circumstances relative to the case of an unfortunate idiot removed from a farm- house in Staffordshire to the Lunatic Asylum of that county. With the' peculiar tact for which he is so remark- able, the Editor of the Chronicle, in his Paper of Friday last, has taken abundant trouble to contra- dict the statements published in our Paper, although, strange as it may seem to those who do not know Mr. Watton, some of the very circumstances that he now flatly contradicts, were published in his Chronicle of the 10th iust. with thisrather striking addition:—" The tale appears incfed bte; but WE hare the BEST AUTHORITY for this state ment.'" So said Mr. Watton ou the 10th of the present month!— But we have a " tale" yet to l'etate. On Thursday fast, a Sir. Tench, stating himself to be clerfe to Mr. Flint, attorney- at- law, of Uttox- et'er, Staffordshire, who ( as Mr. T. said) is employed on t- e part of the idiot's brother, came with that brother to Shrewsbury, to enquire respecting the paragraphs that had appeared' I11 the Shrewsbury Papers on the subject. Mr. Tench stated to us, that after having made " inquiry" at the Chronicle Ofiice several times, he, instead of learning who was Mr. Watton's " BEST AUTHORITY," was in- formed by that person he had no authority at all— save and except the information he had derived from the Salopian JournalThe " inquiry," so gravely stated to have been made by the Editor of the Chronicle, as well as his assertion of " best authority," will now be properly estimated. Having Stated to Mr. Tench that our information had been derived from a person who lives near the scene of alleged atrocity,— he said, it was true that a Reverend Magistrate and another Gentleman of distinction in Staffordshire had, with other persons, forcibly ( and, as he alleged, illegally aud most unwarrantably) entered the house of the idiot's brother, and that the unfortunate individual was by them taken out and conveyed to the Lunatic Asylum at Stafford, where he now remains. Mr. Tench further said, that the unfortunate person is about 45 years of age; that he has been an idiot from his infancy; that he had not been shaven for tbe last 8 or 9 years, because it was dangerous to bring a razor near him; that his hair had, however, been trimmed with scissors; that the allegations of cruelty, neglect, aud concealment, made against his relatives, were utterly false ; but that the per- sons who forcibly removed the idiot from his brother's had, in effecting that removal, broken the poor creature's thigh, and had inflicted upon him other Bodily injuries!— Such is Mr. Tench's state- ment ; and as we can have no sinister motive relative to this " case of horrid and brutal atrocity" —- for su'ch it assuredly is, let the blame rest where it will- s- we have thought it right, in justice to Mr. Tench and to his master's client, to state publicly his version- of the affair. There is, however, a dufy owing to ourselves; and we, as Journalists, have a duty to perform to the Public: this case has excited a great sensation, especially near the scene of its occurrence: and we have, since Mr. Tench visited us, made some further '' inquiry" from respectable persons of the vicinity: the result of that si inquiry" does tend to confirm and strengthen a view of the case very different fo that which has Been stated by Mr. Tench.— The case is, we are informed, in a train of legal investigation; and as, 011 the one hand, we feel bound to believe that Gent'. emen of rank and character would not have interfered forcibly in such a business, without having the strongest' grounds for their conduct,— while, ou the other band, humanity would induce ( is to trust, that the relatives will be able to exculpate themselves,-^ we shall still refrain from mentioning the names of the parties : public attention has been directed to the case ; and the result of the investigation will be looked for with much anxiety.

KOT AT HOME. « Not at home" is a very necessary convenance interposed between visitor and visitee in those numerous calls of etiquette, which, while they are perfectly essential to the " maintenance of social order and civilized society," are yet insufferable taxes on time and patience. In order to reap a tew dinners, it is necessary for a dinner- out to sow an infinity of tickets ; and if such visits were really paid in kind, and not in a paste;. card currency, a poor bachelor would run a sad risk of being starved for want of leisure to overtake his invitations and qualify for their repetition. What between visits on introduction, visits after balls, friendly calls, and " t:( sites de digestion;' a man might pass his whole life iu the vocative case, were it not for the friendly intervention of " Not at home." But the matter would be still worse with the ladies, and their punctilious lists of six or eight hundred " particular friends," not one of whom would even recognize them in a ball- room, or exchange a salute from° a carriage window, if the due annual visits had not been paid. Like the service of a writ, the putting in of a refreshing tickct ia an essential preliminary to bringing the parties to a hearing; without this protocol there is no re- establishing the " accustomed relations of amity between the high contracting allies" at the commencement of a season; and two square inches of pasteboard, more or less, make all the difference between the most intimate liaison and perfect strangeness, lu a case so weighty as this, nothing is so unpardonable as that carelessness and inattention with which an To ihe Editor of ihe Salopian Journal. Sin,— As Parliament halli now re- assembled, and the total abolition of the Assessed Taxes is to be canvassed once more earlv in Ihe ensuing month, I would avail myself of ibaf privilege which every Briton claims, whatever may be his rank or station in the eommtiniiy, io deliver my frank opinion on the subject. And to this 1 am the inure induced, as, froin all that 1 have read of speeches within the Senate, or discussions without ils walls, the question has never been brought fairly and fully forward in all its various bearings. Instead of weighing coolly and candidly the grievances of each particular Tax, most have contented themselves with inveighing ngainst tliemgenerally, and, ns it were, in ihe lump, a. if they must all necessarily stand or full together; while others, from an over- weening party zeal, have so interlinked this question with that of radical reform, as to overwhelm boll] at once in the same wild and inexpedient vortex. 1 shall lieie confine myself to the consideration of the Window Tax alone, as being that, from which I have, myself suffered most severely, and as concentrating within a small area of revenue, perhaps, a stronger focus of grievances than falls to the collective lot of ail the other burdens of the Slale. The unjust INEQUALITY of this oppressive impost must strike a I a single glance the beholder of an edifice built prior to ils enactment; crowded abundantly with apei lures for light, hut so obscu red with lead, stone, or wood- work, as aptly to deserve the appellation of dark lanterns. The tenant of these premises, occupying them tint for the purposes of pomp and splendour, bill to accommodate a large nnd expensively increasing family, and incurring at the same time a senes of unceasing repaiis lo keep together a decaying fabric, finds himself called on, iu addition lo these evils, lo pay the rent value of a moderately- sized mansion, li it he asked, for what? For a superfluity of half- efficient windows, which he can neither want nor wish for. Would he stiive to shake off Ibe uneven pressure? He is shoved at once to Scylla from Charylldis. To uligliien or enlarge the few openings he must neces- nrily retain, he might seriously endanger the surety not only of Ihe building but of his pocket also ; _ while . he blocking up wilh bricks or boards those destined to lie closed, would produce both darkness and disOgnre- ment within, and in outward appearance, when ftiken in the aggregate, a National Deformity.

On this point indeed every one who possesses a knowledge ofthe art of living in decent society, will take care to be guarded by hiring only such servants as have au instinctive tact, refined by long and habitual exercise, to enable them, without specific orders, to divine \ yho ought, or ought not to be admitted ; and when their lady is, or is not, at home. The want of this talent often leads to au abuse which cannot be sufficiently deprecated. When a blockhead of a porter has not the skill to distinguish between a counterfeit and a true thing; or, a t. r examining his man from head to foot, is as much at a loss to know what to do with him as a naturalist with an ornithorhyncus, he coolly answers his " Is your lady at home?" with " I'll see, sir," and away he trots to declare the visitors's name and appcarance, and takes orders accordingly. Now this is abominable! Much better is it, iu all cases of doubt, to give a bold " No" at once, than thus return with a negative, which credibility itself could not credit, aud. which the most egregious vanity cannot fail t. o construe, as it really is, into a personal denial. I say nothing ofthe impropriety of leaving a gentleman waiting in the hall, while this errand is doing, and of letting him hear the loud • whisper of " Oh, no,' by no means to him," and the shutting the drawing- room door, which preceded his dismissal. The thing itself is in bad taste, and shows such an ignorance of the customs of society, as fully justifies a dead cut.— But to return to the awkwardness of being improperly at home! there are thousands of dear friends who so perfectly understand each other, that, between being " at home" at night, and not being at home in the morn- ing, they carry a friendship through life, without ever meeting iu private. Husbands in trade-, or professions, are peculiarly apt to be saddled with connexions which the wife cannot disavow, and will not bring into society with persons who are dangerous to cut and impossible to introduce ; with these, however, all the decencies of life are fulfilled, " all porls absolved," when an annual card is dropped at their door, and an annual invitation sent to the omnium gatherum party, which gets rid of the " sweepings of the porter's book," ( the metaphor is not the most elegant) at the close of the season. Friends upon this footing are scarcely known to each other by sight; or at most their faces are recognized with uo very precise idea of the name to which they are appended. Judge then, how distressing to all parties it must be when a blundering servant brings them to close action, and forces them into inquiries after family and con- nexions, of which they are utterly ignorant 1 Think of asking a re- married widow for the husband who has been buried these sixteen months, or making tender inquiries after Master Tommy's cough from a spinster of forty! But, if it be wrong to admit visitors under certain circumstances, it is a still greater breach of the peace not to take a denial, • when it is given to force the consigne, and insist upon " getting in." The impertinent familiarity of " I know yonr master will be at home to me," is a direct violation of the fundamental principles of visiting intercouse; and the Roman was quite right who insisted on being believed, on his own assertion, that he was " Not at home." For who ought to know better the necessities of tbe case? How can the intruder know what weak point in tbe family cconomy he may lay bare by his unseasonable mar- piotism? What tete- a- tete he may derange; What third person, whom it is awkward to meet, he may encounter in such undue efforts to gain admission? How cau he tell that he will not run bolt against the man who has thrown hiin out of Parliament, or black- balled him at the club, the holder of his promissory note, or the lady who lias refused him ? In self- defence such practices should be abandoned, and no friendship, no intimacy can justify them. As well might one tolerate the impertinent curiosity of the prying friend who pumps your servant to learn who" dined with you yesterday, or what you have got for dinner, as overlook conduct at once so dangerous, so annoying, and so indicative of un- civilized vulgarity. Oh! Sirs, " reform it al- together." There is i. deed but one person who is allowed never to take a denial; and he is univer- sally admitted to be so great a bore, that no one in bis senses would think of imitating him.— He'll knock at any door he pleases, whether in Grosvenor- squara or St. Giles's, and, like his friend the doctor, stops not to ask " Is your master at home?" but walks up stairs at once, to the discomfiture of every body in the room. With a fellow of this peremptory character, there is but one point of good manners lo be observed, which is always to be ready to receive him with a good grace; neither weakly dreading his visit when he does not come, nor treating it when he does, as a thing unexpected- and unlooked for. Receive him with the firmness of the stoic, the gaiety of the epicurean, and tho respect which is due to the Power in whose name he comes; for be was never known to retire from a bad re- ception, or to remitliis claims, to tears, struggles, or supplications; and as for " Not at home," and leaving his card, show me the porter who would dar « to propose it. be enraptured with the unrivalled verdure of onr fields and pastures, the luxuriance of our cn. ps, and, above all, tbe peculiar neatness of our cottages aud iheir uddy inmates, surrounded with every emblem of con- tent and comfort. But what would he conceive of Ihe patched and plastered window frames in every old arm- house, and even many more respectable mansions ? le would naturally enquire " but fever of " typhoid ype" ( as every village apothecary now classically erinsit) had so woefully thinned the 111110111111018?' what tyranny of landlords hail driven l( em from Ihe homes of their fathers ? or what general bankruptcy had forced them to emigration? More complacently, indeed, _ lit lie survey those dwelling), of recent date, whose perfect stale of repair and const ruction, well suited to meet the exigency of the liuieu, enable their / leeupants to enjoy " Heaven's fi- rst- bory offspring, light," with half the expenditure of theirless fortujurfi? neighbours. Yet even these have conifoit* to sacrilice ut ihe altar of Taxation. For, though the quantum of light passing through the few giganlic windows tuny be the same or more, its unequal distribution wholly destroys the balance, glaring oppressivolv on Ihe centra! parls of tile room, w liile " darkness viable" reigns iu every corner. Are these compensated by exterior grace or symmetry ? As well might you prefer to the honest fro'Jt aud fine- formed features of a true- born Englishman Hiose of the one. eyed Cyclop, so well described hv tiie Poet — " Monstrum liorrenilum infurme ingens, cui luineu ademption." But it is not alone from the unjust inequality of its burden, or from its utter enmity with all archi- tectural taste, that I object to this odious impost. It strikes at the very health and vitals of the State. • Should a medical man he wanted in many of onr old farm houses, he must be guided lo bis patient's HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY. [ Debate concluded from our last Postscript.'] THE CURRENCY. Mr. Alderman HEYGATE spoke ut considerable length against the motion. He ridiculed the mania for theoris- ing which seemed to have seized upon Ministers. Alluding to the cash payments bill of 1819, he treated that as premature, and demonstrated that if it hail raised the standard of currency, it had, in precisely the same proportion, aggravated the weight of the public debt. Mr. PEEL supported tire resolutionsbefore the House, ant! defended his bill of 1& I9, which he said only enforced an arrangement absolutely necessn'ry for the salvation of llie country. He declared that as llie small notes must be got rid of al some time or other, now or never was the time under all the circumstances. Mr. ATTWOOD and Mr. II. GURNEY opposed the resolution. Mr. CANNING spoke at very great length in support ofthe resolutions. Disclaiming any disrespectful feel- ing towards the Country Bankers, lis submitted that these Gentlemen could not with safely be trusted with the royal prerogative of making and issuing money. Mr. GRENFELL and Mr. BROUGHAM supported Ihe Resolution ; the latter nt some length. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For ihe Chancellor of the Exchequer's molion 032 Against it 39 The House then went into a committee. Upon the resolution being read— Mr. H. GURNEY observed, ( bar if government destroyed all the country hankers' notes, and at tbe same time stopped the issue of one. pound notes from llie Bank of England, they would leave the country iu a stale of destitution, of which they could not have any adequate conception. HP would, therefore, move, ns an amendment, to leave out llie words " Bank of England." Upon tbe question being put— The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER said thai, considering the small notes to have a perniciuns effect on the slate nf the country, lie could not, although lie might think the small notes of the Bank of England possessed more security, because lliey were more easily watched, consent, for a moment, to allow such an unjust distinction. It would be n very unfair distinction, without producing an ade- quale benefit. Mr. MARERLEY begged at this time to put a question to the Right Hon. Gent. Was it his intention lo allow one kind of currency lo be used in England, and another in Ireland and Scotland ? If ihe principle was to be carried into thorough and substantial effect, it should he general, and extend to every part of Ihe three king- doms. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER said it was his intention lo carry the principle into full effect, both in Scotland and in Ireland, and that the only grounds for making any variation depended upon the question of lime. Il was his intention, however, in a very few days, to lay before the House Ills plan for the suppres- sion of small notes, both in Scotland and other pnrls of the country. Mr. BARING said, it would be quite intolerable to have attacked the . country banks, and excluded the Bank of England from the operation of the Act. Mr. HOME said, he rose to protest against being sup- posed lo agree with ( he principle which had that night been adopted. He thought paper convertible into gold, oc 1...

An examination of this state- ment presents some curious results. In the first place, the total amount of Country Bank Paper in Great Britain increased from £ 3,493,001 in 1820; to £ 8,755,307 in 1825. But a still more remarkable fact appears, by comparing the small notes with the greater in each year— thus £ 1 and £ 2 Notes. Larger Notes. 1820—£ 1,728,186 £ 1,765,715 2,183.565 2,389,8( 15 2,459,470 4,179,220 5,503,< 808 lu 1820 the larger notes were about equal to the smaller, and in 1821 they were even less iu amount; but in 1825, when the smaller notes were £ 3,251,499, the larger were £ 5,503,808. From these facts ( says the Star of Monday) our Readers will perceive that the opinions which we so repeatedly expressed, that the Country Banks were in no degree chargeable with the misery which has befallen the nation, are amply confirmed. It ap- pears that the small notes in circulation have, not been doubled since 1819, whereas the large notes have been more than tripled. It is known that a small note will not stand two years wear—- and also that the whole of those stamped in 1825 could not have been in circulation at one and the same time. Hence it follows that the total amount of currency in small notes, dispersed, over all England, never yet exceeded four millions. Yet we are told that the country is deluged with them, and that gold is banished from use, by the inundation of local paper; while at the same time we know that the savings of the poor, paid into the Savings Banks ill the course of the last four half- years, form a mass of capital which is more than equal to the whole of the small notes that ever were in circulation. The sober evidence of facts must dispel this illusion; and if remedies are to be applied to the present gigantic evils, we fear they must be of a totally different kind, and reach to a far greater extent than those now in contemplation. Meanwhile, our Readers will do us the justice to remember, that we declared, several weeks ago, that any run upon the country bankers would fearfully increase commercial diffi- culties; and it cannot be denied that the event has verified the prediction. The pressure on the money market, we rcgrei to say, is strongly on the increase. Affection of Insects for their Young.

THE SLAVE TRADE. [ FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] It will, we doubt not, be gratifying to many of our readers to hear thai, at a meeiing lately convened at Bath to Petition Parliament for the mitigation and eventual abolition of Slavery in the West Indies, Ihe Lord Bishop of Ihe Diocese presided : that in Pembroke shire Lord Cawdor took the chair : thai al a meeiing at Carmarthen, Lord Robert Seymour took the chair: lhat a meeting at Swansea was very numerously attended, and one of ihe Members for ilie'Counly presided. The meeiing at Edinburgh was most striking. In Bristol the attendance was so numerous and spirited, that, notwithstanding Ihe most vulgar threats were held oui, no one dared to oppose. The petitions adopted al these nnd oilier meetings will soon be presented; the following are among those already known of; Common Council of London Anti- Slavery Society, Ditto Comity nf Norfolk City of York City of Edinburgh City of Durham City of Bristol Cil'y of Bath Oily of Salisbury Town of Birmingham Leeds ' - Yorkshire - Essex Hull Beverley Halifax Duffield Chelmsford Colchester William ) County of Derby Couuly of Leicester Connly of Pembroke Town of Carmarthen Gainsborough ( Lincoln) Portsmouth Wolverhampton } Wednesbury > West Broniwich s Dudley ( Worcester) We hea Stafford i Lewes ( Sussex) pul'" j \ Lancashire Burnley 3 Berwick upon Tweed Kettering ( Northampton) South Shields Leominster Staines ( Middlesex) Keighley ( Yorkshire) Ipswich ^ BurySt. Edmunds > SuS'olk Wood bridge 3 Swansea ) Neath > Glamorgan Crickbowel > M( jnmouth Newport 3 Buckingham J R , High Wycouib $ Nottingham Taunton ^ Wellington r a , Warminster^ Somerset Frome 3 Derby Aberdeen Keswick ( Cumberland) Falmouth ) ^ ..

Ricardo, of a gold clllrency, anil a paper convertible into gold, but its object was frittered away by Ihe permission granted two years afterwards lo country hanks lo issue one and two. pound notes nt pleasure; but for that, there would not beat lhat moment a one- pound note in the country. Mr. BARING supported ihe amendment. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER was unwilling tn reserve an exclusive privilege for the' Bank of Eng- land. The Bank had the power of issuing them now, and would continue lo have it up to the period at which il was deemed advisable thai their circulation should cense altogether. Besides he hoped that no such emergency for issuing them would recur. Mr, HUDSON GUIINEY said, that had it not been for the issues of the one. pound notes bv Ihe Bank of Eng- land at the time Ihey took place, ihe recent calamity that befel the country would have been greatly aggra- vated. The House then divided.— For Ibe Amendment 7— Against il 66— Majority against the amendment 59. The oilier orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned al half- past two o'clock, HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR look his sent for the first time this Session, and it was observed with universal satisfaction that the Noble and Learned Lord seemed quite recovered from bis late illness.— The business done was unimportant. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. Mr. ELLICE gave notice that be should move, on the 22d inst. lhat nil petilinns against the importation of foreign silks be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. HUSKISSON said, that lie should be ready to meet Ihe discussion, and that allhongh he could not promise lo agree to the appointment of aConlmittee, he should be open- to any thing which may be advanced in ils favour. THE CURRENCY. On the motion' that tbe report of the Committee on llie Bank Charter and Bank Note Acts be brought up, Mr. CALCRAFT condemned the course taken by Minis- ters ns precipilate and dangerous. Mr. HUDSON GURNET moved ( in order to provide against Ihe want of a currency which the Bill would otherwise certainly produce) that' the words " Bank of England one- pound notes" should be struck out of Ihe Bill. Mr. T. WILSON complained that the agitation of the question of ihe currency had already done great mis- chief in the city, and threatened still more disastrous consequences. He asked Ihe Chancellor ofthe Exche- quer if he was prepared with any measure of alleviation for ihe great aud growing calamity that bad resulted from his pertinacity in adhering 10 his measures, and suggested lhat a loan similar to that made 10 the dis- tressed manufacturers and merchants in 1793 might now be issued with safety and advantage. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER rejected the proposition for a loan, us certain lo encourage unfounded speculations hereafter by llie influence of its example. Mr. HUSKISSON declared that an increase of circula- tion was necessary, and suggested that " if the Bank would go into the market and buy tbe floating securi- ties, now so much depressed, to a very considerable extent, this would he a mode of increasing the circu- lating medium perhaps less objectionable than any other. It was quite a mistake lo suppose that the Bank was al all choaked up at present with Government Securities. This was what he should recommend. A large issue from Ibe Bank, by purchasing Government Securities, would produce great relief if ihey thought themselves at liberty to take such a course, and h thought they might do so wilh perfect safety. No diffi- culty would he found io making an arrangement wilh the First Lord of the Treasury and his Right Hon Friend for the redemption of such secnriiies in due and proper time. This, besides, was a plan of relief which might be acted 011 immediately. The debate was continued in a long nnd desultory conversation Ultimately Mr. Gurney's amendment was negatived without a division, aud the original resolution agreed 10. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW renewed bis motion for leave lo bring in a Bill to repeal the Usury Laws.— Mr DA- VENPORT, MR. CALCRAFT, and several oilier Members, resisted even llie introduction ofthe Bill, denouncing it as tbe " Plaything" ofthe Learned Sergeant, as waste of time, and contending, that if it were entertained at all it would be like Ihrowinga firebrand into the Money Market.— Mr. IRVINC, Mr. BENETT, ( of Wiltshire), Mr. SIKES, & c. supported ihe measute, maintaining that Ihe landed interests would he benefitted, not injured hy it, us it would enable tliein to go to more respectable sources to raise money in their distresses. Mr. SIKES observed, that, saying nothing of the policy of the measure, where was the justice of preventing a man from carrying his money, which was a commodity of trade, to the best Market, while he might do So by any oilier commodity ?— Mr. C. WYNN, the President of the Board of Controul, approved of the Bill, and reminded the House that the existing laws on this subject were part and parcel of lhat " wisdom of our ancestors" which had also regulated the prices of provisions, and at 110 remote period empowered the LORD CHANCELLOR 10 determine what should be the prices of wines! lie considered this remnant of such legislation to be founded on no better principle lhan these Acts as to prices which had long since ceased to exist. — Mr. Secretary PEEL remarked, that il could hardly be said that this Bill had been properly discussed in former Sessions; that the present preliminary motion ought not to be opposed; and that 011 Ihe second reading of the Bill, if it were allowed to be brought in, the CHANCELLOR of ibe EX- CHEQUER was anxious to express his opinion upon it— a statement lhat was received with considerable cheering. — Leave was immediately given 10 Sergeant ONSLOW- to introduce Ins Bill for the repeal of the Usury Laws.

[ From the Cheltenham, Chronicle.] Whilst yet in the absence of all positive know, lodge, tbe public mind is left to pause iu anxious suspense, and to contemplate the probable means that may be devised by Ministers to rescue the country from the dangers that now beset her; con- sideration seems due to some of the circumstances in which, beyond all question, a great part of the present distress originated. To say that it arose exclusively from domestic, or rather internal, specu- lations, would be ridiculous: that is, from specula- tions absolutely and bona fide circumscribed within our " ocean limits."— However true it may be that, when superadded to the overwhelming mania for foreign investments, foreign loans, foreign securities, foreign mining associations, pearl ( vel PERIL) com- panies founded upon oyster- beds, joint stock compa- nies in which no stock existed, and tile innumerable " associations" which have sprung up within the last eighteen months, the inland expenditure of capital, and the consequent stimulus given to specu- lative minds, may have accelerated the " crisis;" still we do fearlessly maintain that the pressure of the times was the necessary and inevitable conse- quence of that foreign- bubble- system which never was prosperous to the people of this kingdom, and which never can be so. The case of an individual may often be said but too faithfully to represent the cases of thousands of others, and often even of a whole people— and thus with some slight allowance, the folly of one foreign loan may illustrate the principle of all. Look to the Spanish loan— the instances we wish to select are avowedly the most unfavourable— what was the purport of that loan ?— what have been its uses?— and what are now its re- sults?— Why, Spain is as enthralled and priestridden, and inquisitorial as ever— and a week has not yet elapsed, since an Englishman who had had the patriotism to sell ou!! ofthe funds of his own country to invest his property in the blessed Spanish loan, terminated his existence in a paroxysm of insanity, brought on by absolute beggary. Look to the Greek loan— what party has benefited by it ? Assuredly not GREECE— even if Greeks have basely done so. For all that has been effeeted by that loan for the emancipation of the great and glorious Greece of other days, how much cau with truth be ascribed to the Brilish loan ? No, no— the intention of those with whom that loan originated— and here can the name of BYRON be forgotten?— was strangely and mischievously perverted; and with all the inflated bombast of " British enthusiasm in the cause of universal freedom," this offering at the shrine of liberty was basely flung into the com- mon market, to be gambled with by bears and black legs. And yet, in spite of the unworthiness of our trucklers " upon ' Change," TIIE CAUSE OF GREECE, which is TIIE CAUSE of true liberty, and, above all, of Christianity, and which should be THE CAUSE of all Europe, goes on prosperingly, and, we trust, to prosper. We have adduced these loans as illustrative of that delusion which led men, and, we fear, still does lead them, to withdraw any portion of the resources which they possess from that common stock, to which, as inheritors of the soil and subjects of the realm, they ought rather to contribute. We shall now advert to another and a far different cause of the diversion— we should rather say, the dispersion of British capital— which has already occasioned much evil; but which is likely to create even yet more ruin. We persuade ourselves that we are not supposed, even by the most careless or indifferent of our readers, to be worthy of ranking with the desponding, or, as vulgarly denominated, the " croaking" part of tbe community:— and yet, if since Mr. Canning's accession to Ministerial power and influence, there was one measure which we from the onset decried more than another, it has b? en the voluntary, and, ou the part of so powerful a nation as Great Britain, the uncalled- for recogni- tion of the self- styled independence of the South American Colonies. We were atthetirst opposed to the measure, upon the principle of national justice — we are so now upon the co- existent, principle of national policy. Consuls must be sent, forsooth, to these victorious Colonies, and the mercantile people of England, 011 the faith of that recognition, and in the sanguine but visionary hope of an exclusive trade prerogative ( as if such nonsense could hold ground for a moment), must sink immense capitals, or risk their best credits to ship off measureless and countless consignments to the new world of trade— the modern Utopia! and upon what faith? upon what security?— The period at which the customary returns should be made is now at hand, and THAT MUST DETERMINE.— Another cause of public dis- tress must be found in the rashness and impolicy of running up the funds to au unnatural and unsustain- able height, to enable our financiers to lower the interest of public securities.— We have never ad- dressed ourselves to any topic with more pain than we now feel in noticing the decision of the House of Commons, ou Monday night, in favour of a measure which we can only look upon as the forerunner of general ruin throughout the provincesof this mighty country. The more the plans of Ministers are developed, the more clearly can we trace their origin and connexion with the BANK, OF ENGLAND — which, however it may be legally denominated, is not the BANK OF THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND— but in plain terms the Bank of a chartered company. We shall return to the subject. Iu the mean time we would ask— Has the projected extension of the already enormous monopoly ofthe Bank of England no influence upon the state of affairs ?— Amongst the anomalies of the present crisis, lhat which we regard as not the least extraordinary is the acces- sion of Mr. Brougham, if not to the Treasury Bench, at least to the strength of Ministers. THE SPIDER.— We are so accustomed to asso- ciate the ideas of cruelty and ferocity with the name of spider, that to attribute parental affection to any ofthe tribe seems at first view almost pre- posterous. Who indeed could suspect that animals, which greedily devour their own species, when- ever they have an opportunity, should be sus- ceptible of the finer feelings? Yet such is the tact. There is a spider common under clods of earth which may at once be distinguished by a w hite globular silken bag about the size of a pea, in which she has deposited her eggs, attached to tbe extremity of her body. Never miser clung to his treasure with more tenacious solicitude than this spider to her bag. Though apparently a consider- able encumbrance, she carries it with her every where. If you deprive her of it, she makes the most strenuous efforts for its recovery; and no personal danger can force her to quit the precious load.' Are her efforts ineffectual: a stupefying melancholy seems to seize her, and when deprived of this first object of her cares, existence itself appears to have lost its charms. If she succeeds in regaining her bag, or you restore it to her, her actions demonstrate the excess of her joy. She eagerly seizes it, and with the utmost agility runs off with it to a place of security. Bonnet put this wonderful attachment to an affecting and decisive test. He threw a spider with her bag into the cavern of a large ant- lion, a ferocious insect which conceals itself aft'lie bottom of a conical hole con- structed in the sand for the purpose of catching any unfortunate victim that may chance to fall in. The spider endeavoured to run away, but was not sufficiently active to prevent the ant- lion from seizing her bag of eggs, which it attempted to pull under the sand. She made the most violent efforts to defeat the aim of her invisible foe, and on her part struggled with all her might. The gluten, however, which fastened her bag, at length gave way, and it separated; but the spider instantly regained it with her jaws, and redoubled her efforts to rescue the prize from her opponent. It was iu vain: the ant- lion was tbe stronger of the two, aud in spite of all her struggles dragged the object of contestation under the sand. The unfortunate mother might have preserved her own life from the enemy: she had but to relinquish the bag, and escape out of the pit. But, wonderful example of maternal affection ! she preferred allowing herself to be buried alive along with the treasure dearer to her than her existence; and it was only by force that Bonnet at length withdrew her from the un- equal conflict. But the bag of eggs remained with the assassin ; and though he pushed her repeatedly with a twig of wood, she still persisted in continuing on the spot. Life seemed to have become a burden to her, and all her pleasures to have been buried in the grave which contained the germe of her progeny. HUMBLE- BEES,* which in respect of fheir genera! policy must, when compared with bees and wasps, be regarded as rude and untutored villagers, exhibit nevertheless marks of affection to their young quite as strong as their more polished neighbours. The females, like those of wasps, take a considerable share in their education. When one of them has with great labour constructed a commodious waxen cell, she next furnishes it with a store of pollen, moistened with honey ; and then having deposited six or seven eggs, carefully closes the orifice and minutest interstices with wax. But this is not the whole of her task. By a strange instinct, which however may be necessary to keep the population within due bounds, the workers, while she is occupied in laying her eggs, endeavour to seize them from her, and, if they succeed, greedily devour them. To prevent this violence her utmost activity is scarcely adequate; and it is only after she has again and again beat off the murderous intruders, and pursued them to the furthest verge of the nest, that she succeeds iu her operation Wheu finished, she is still under the necessity of closely guarding the cell, which the gluttonous workers would otherwise tear open, and devour the es'gs. This duty she perforins for six or eight hours, with the vigilance of an Argus, at the end of which time they lose their taste for this food, and will not touch it, even when presented to them. Here th « labours of the mother cease, and are succeeded by those of the workers. These know the precise hour when the grubs have consumed their stock of food, and from that time to their maturity regularly feed them with either honey or pollen, introduced in their proboscis through a small hole in the cover of the cell, opened for the occasion aud then carefully closed. They are equally assiduous in another operation. As the grubs increase i. 11 size the cell which con- tained them becomes too small, and in their exer- tions to be more at ease they split its thin sides. To fill up these breaches as fast as they occur, with a patch of wax, is the office of the workers, who are constantly on the watch to discover when their services are wanted; and thus the cells daily in- crease in size,, in a way whieh, to an observer ignorant ofthe process, seems very extraordinary. The last duty of these affectionate foster- parents is to assist the young bees in cutting open tbe cocoons which have enclosed them in the state of pupa. A previous labour, however, must not be omitted. Tbe workers adopt similar measures with the hive- bee fbr maintaining the young pupae con cealed in these cocoons in a genial temperature. In cold weather and at night they get upon them and impart the necessary warmth by brooding over them in clusters. In the course of his ingenious and numerous experiments, M. Huber put under a bell- glass about a dozen humble- bees, without any store of wax. along with a comb of about ten silken cocoons so un- equal in height that it was impossible the mass should stand firmly. Its unsteadiness disquieted the hum- ble- bees extremely. Their affection for their young led them to mount upon the cocoons for the sake of imparting warmth to the enclosed little ones, but in attempting this the comb tottered so violently that the scheme was almost impracticable. To remedy this inconvenience, and to make the comb steady, they had recourse to a most ingenious expedient. Two or three bees got upon the comb, stretched themselves over its edge, and with their heads downwards fixed their fore feet on the table upon which it stood, whilst with their hind feet they kept it from falling. In this constrained and pain- ful posture, fresh bees relieving their comrades when weary, did these affectionate little insects support the comb for nearly three days! At the end of this period they had prepared a sufficiency of wax, with which they built pillars that kept it in a firm position : but by some accident afterwards these got displaced,- when they had again recourse to their former manceuvre for supplying their place, aud this operation they perseveringly continued uutil M Huber, pitying their hard case, relieved them by fixing the object of their attention firmly on the table. It is impossible not lo be struck with the reflection that this most singular fact is inexplicable 011 the supposition that insects are impelled to their opera tions by a blind instinct alone. How could mere machines have thus provided for a case which, in state of nature, has probably never occurred to ten nests of humble- bees since the creation ? If in this instance these little animals were not guided by a process of reasoning, w hat is the distinction between reason and instinct ? How could the most profound architect have better adapted the means to the end, how more dexterously shored up a tottering edifice, until his beams aud his props were in readiness? * Dr. Johnson was ignorant of the etymology of this word. It is clearly derived from the German Hummel or Hummel Bieve, a name probably given from its sound. Our English name would be more significant were it altered lo Humming- bee or Bootning- bee. Important dispatches have arrived from Sierra Leone, with intelligence highly gratifying to the friends of Africa. The Sherbro Bulloms, who in- habit a considerable extent of coast to the soulh- east ofthe colony, have been so harassed by the Kussoos, a neighbouring nation to the eastward, that they have voluntarily placed themselves under the pro- tection of this country, and a treaty has been agreed to between his Excellency Charles Turner, Captain General and Governor in Chief of the Colony, & c. on the part of his Britannic Majesty, and Banka, King of Sherbro, on the part and behalf of his - tributary Kings, Chiefs, and Headmen; in conse- quence of which Sierra Leone has gained a great acccssion of territory, comprising a line of sea coast of 120 miles in length, and upwards of 5000 square miles ofthe most fertile land in this part of Africa, being watered with seven rivers of considerable ex- tent and importance. The produce of these rivers has always been very great, and will rapidly in- crease in quantity, as the property of the natives is now rendered secure from plunder and devastation. The principal articles of lawful export have hitherto been ivory, palm oil, camwood, and rice; of the latter the Bagroo river alone furnished 600 tons in one season. By this arrangement the Slave Trade of the coast between this Colony and the Gallinas ii for ever annihilated. It has been computed, that from 15,000 to 20,000 wretched beings were annually exported from the territory lately acquired ; and it was to support this horrible trade, that the surround- ing nations were constantly engaged in sanguinary wars, which have nearly depopulated the once rich and fertile countries of the Sherbro. Under the protection and care of the new Government, these countries will speedily be restored, while the wretched inhabitants will be raised to a state of happiness, of which, at present, they have little idea; no longer dreading the horrors of slavery or the destruction of the spoiler, they may walk abroad, in full security of reaping the fruits of their labour • this will excite their industry, and, joined with the encouragement afforded by British law aud power, will quickly raise them from the degradation and misery under which they are now suffering. WEYMOUTH, FEB. 9.— The desirable project of throwiug a bridge over the ferry to Portland is likely to be completed. Plans and estimates, & c. have already been taken by Messrs. Rennie, at the request ofE. B. Portman, Esq. and are now forwarded to Portland for the approval of the inhabitants.— During the last - week, in consequence of a violent western gale of wind, which caused a great con- vulsion in the tremendous beach of Portland, many pieces of ancient coin, bars of gold aud silver, supposed to have been buried in the wreck ofthe Dutch bueauiering ship Hope, which was lost there near 100 years since, have been picked up by many- people of that Island, Wyke, & c. Several other valuable articles in silver bowls, spoons, & c. have also been found, likely to have been on board the Alexainder, East Indiaman, and the Colville, West Indiaman, that were unfortunately lost 011 that part of the coast. The suggestion ofthe Chancellor of the Exchequer, lhat the Bank of England should buy up Exchequer Bills, with a view to lighten the pressure upon Ihe Money Market, was accompanied by a direct intima- tion 10 that effect from His Majesty's Government. The Bank, on Wednesday, acted upon lhat intimation, and Exchequer Bills immediately advanced from, 18s. and 20s, discount, to par, ' INCLEDON.— We regret lo announce the death of Ibis once celebrated vocalist, which look place on Saturday night last, at Worcester.

MESSRS SIKF, 3 » MD WILKINSON'S BANKRUPTCY. — The outstanding debts, taking them in round numbers, may be set! down at £ 350,000, and the assets ( not the available ones) were computed to bo about £ 200,000. The computation, however, was made at a time when every description of funded securities were at the highest value ; and even 011 that calculation the balance against the public was tremenduous— £ 150,000. It was stated in the room that a great part of the deficiencies are to be attributed to Mr. Wilkinson, who, it appears, has kept up a most princely establishment, including a suit of no less than sixteen domestics, some of whom came to prove under the Commission for the services they had severally rendered to the estate. A few days ago an Officer of Dover Garrison, undertook for a bet lo run from tbe top of the Grand Shaft to ihe bottom iu 30 seconds, which lie accom- plished within the time, though not with ease. The number of steps he had to descend is about 200, in a spiral construction— which may be considered a feat requiring considerable exertion. Two living specimens of the beautiful Antelope- rnpicapra, or the chamois from the Alps ofSwilzer- land, have been sent lo England lo the Earl of Fife, who has presented ihem to his Majesty, and they wili be naturalized in Windsor Park. They are nearly of the size of the fallow deer, or common goat, hut elegantly formed, with horns lightly bent back, anil curved at Ihe apex. Tbe clear full eye- balls ofthe chamois has afforded to the poets of the countries where they arc found a favourite image ; and no higher compliment can be made to female beauty than lo liken Ihe expression of the eyes 10 those of Ihe chamois or gazelle. Died, on Sunday se'nnight, at Postland, near Crowland, occasioned by a fall on the ice whilst sliding, Stephen Cherrington, Gent, aged 72 years, leaving a very large circle of relations ( some of them very poor) to share amongst them an immense fortune, which he had accumulated by his penurious habits. He scarcely allowed himself the common necessaries of life, and although he has left, it is supposed, a hundred thousand pounds, the furniture in his house is not worth more than twenty pounds. His manners were very eccentric, but still he had a sort of predominance in all public and private meet, ings held in the parish. Before the misfortune happened which caused his death, he was as healthy and as hearty as ever he was ill his life, and could, although at sucli an advanced age, leap over the fen dikes with his old favourite pony ( a practice of which he was particularly fond), by taking hold of the bridle and stirrup as nimbly as any young man in the neighbourhood. His only amusement was that of coursing, in which he very much delighted. A11 elopement has lalely taken place in one of ihe Western Isles of Scotland. Miss in her teens, in addition to great personal attractions, possessed a handsome fortune : the evening previous to her intended marriage with a man whom she did not like, she vanished from the home of her childhood lo a neighbouring island, where she next morning married to Ihe real object of her wishes. The dis- appointed lover has since been married lo a younger sister of the fair decciver.
