Mr. t'ollinson, who resides at Kirby- nnder- Dale, F. ast Riding of Yorkshire, was very much afflicted with II Scorbutic complaint which appeared in Ihe form of large blotches all over bis body, and was restored to perfect health by taking only two eleven shilling bottles of your Antiscorbutic Drops.— Tbe other case occurred in a Child of Mr. K. Hessell, of Seaton Ross, also in the East Riding of Yorkshire; il was seized when two years old with n violent Scorbutic complaint, and had three large ulcers in each arm ; every remedy failed in curing Ihe disease till they were fortunate enough to try your Drops, and I am happy lo say, by perseverance Ihe Child was completely cured.

Private letters have been received from Con- stantinople, dated the 28lli of February, which mention the arrival in that city of our Ambassador, Mr. Stratford Canning, on the 27th. It is mentioned, in the Paris Papers of Wed- nesday, that Lord Cochrane had arrived at Zante. This statement is given upon the au- thority of advices from Constantinople, under the date of the 25th of February; but doubts are expressed as to its accuracy. It is said, however, in another account, that the " Mtis- selnians were much alarmed" at his Lordship's arrival. Extract of a letter, dated Colombo ( island of Ceylon) November IS, 1825:—" The day before yesterday an official communication was said to have been made to government of the essation of hostilities with the Burmese. Flicy have accepted of the terms offered by the Company, who are to receive two crores of ru- pees, besides what have already been plun- dered from the mosques, & e. and the English arc lo have possession of Hangoon, Pegue, Martaban, Aracau, and, of course, the isiand of Chaduhu ( so report says.) The Govern- ment Gazette contains nothing more than that peace is established at the Burman country." We have letters from Ihe city of Mexico to the date of the 31st of . January last, brought by his Majesty's cutter Vigilant, which left Vera Cruz on ihe Sill of February. Mr. Mn- ier and Mr. Ward appear lo be quite disap pointed with this government, on the subject of Ihe treaty, and have obtained no modifica- tion of the articles. The members of Ihe Executive, ns was the case in April last, arc ready to do every tiling that can he reasonably asked ; but I In; Senate and Congress, assisted it is alleged, by ihe Intrigues of ihe American minister and his party, are exerting themselves to rentier Ihe endeavours of Ihe British minis- ters abortive. It is reported that Mr. Ward is preparing to return lo England. The Ex- ecutive, it is said, are opposed to Mr. Ward's return to England; but Mr. Morier, it is stated, is decided upon the necessity of Ihe measure of Mr. Ward's returning to London. What tbe difficulties now staled are, is not distinctly known, yet the necessity of Mr. Ward's departure would seem to imply that they are not easily surmountable. " Mexico, Jan. 30, 1826.— Mr. Ward will return, it is now said, ill the Pyramus, S. W. in a few days, upon her arrival from New York, from whence she is expected daily." A courier is said to have been sent lo Paris with a despatch from Nicholas, in which be assures the French Court that be has no objec- tion to the adoption of a liberal system of policy, and proposes to give up the Holy Alli- ance, and adopt in its stead a general alliance on a more liberal basis. The Gazette of Ham- burgh, in an article dated St. Petersburg!!, March 8, observes that all the Generals and Military Governors now in the empire of Russia, have been ordered not to leave their posts, on any account, till further orders. The only conclusion to be drawn from these two pieces of intelligence seems to be, that the Emperor wishes to be on good terms with England, and is anxious to be in readiness to take decisive measures against the Turks, if necessary. The coronation of the Emperor Nicholas is postponed to September or October. The cause of the deiay is said to be an apprehen- sion of some conspiracy being renewed at the period of the fetes which will accompany that ceremony. More than twenty thousand con- spirators are known ; lhat is to say, there are twenty thousand noble Russian families compromised ; and, as they all have con- nexions, it may be said, ( Imt nearly all the nobility of this vast empire lie under suspicion. We are assured that already the number of persons under arrest exceeds twelve thousand. Several of tbe principal conspirators have died suddenly in prison.— GulignanVs Mes- senger. Letters from Gibraltar of the lOtli ult. give a very melancholy account of the state of trade there. The demand for British goods and manufactures during ( lie lalter part of last year, had caused such large supplies to be sent out from ( his country, lliat the market was completely glutted, and no market what- ever could he obtained without a great sacrifice. The slate of Spain is also said to be such as to destroy all confidence, and render credit dan- gerous, while the scarcity of money caused il lo be nearly impossible to transact business on any odier terms. Tuesday evening, a most distressing accident occurred at Greenwich to a very interesting young woman. She went, accompanied by party of friends, to pass a day of pleasure ; it the fair, a place of almost general resort dur- ing the Easter holidays, and in tbe round of amusements was unfortunately prevailed upon to trust herself in one of those dangerous swinging cars ( which should not be tolerated) and so nervous did she become from the frightful height she was so repeatedly tossed in the air, with a backward and forward motion, that she lost all power of herself; and letting go the cords by which, for a short time, she maintained her position in the car, she was hurled in a full swing to the ground, with a violence that surpasses description. She vomited a quantity of blood as she was carried into the Hope Tavern, a speechless and almost lifeless victim of the unpardonable indiscretion of ( we can hardly call them) her friends. A medical gentleman was called in, and by bleeding, the use of restoratives, & c. be partially revived her. On examination, lie found several of her ribs broken, her head greatly contused, and other bodily injury. He ordered that she should be conveyed by an easy stage to one of the London hospitals, and gave very doubtful hopes of Iter ultimate re- covery. The War Office is about reducing twenty- two of its clerks, in consequence of ( lie arrear of business of ( hat department being nearly brought to a close. The reduction of the in- dividuals will be voluntary on those selected, and to their retirement will be added a pension, regulated according to ( heir period of service.

Port of London.— The trade of London employs about 3,500 ships, the cargoes en- tering the port being annually not less than 13,500. On an average 1,100 ships are in the river at one lilire ; together with 3.419 barges and other small craft, employed in lading and unlading them ; 2,288 barges and other craft engaged in Ihe inland trade, and 3.000 wherries or small boats for passengers. To this active scene which thg port of London exhibits, are to be added about 8.000 watermen actually employed iu navigating tile wherries and craft, 4.000 labourers lading and unlading ships, and 1,200 revenue officers constantly doing duty on Ihe river, beside tlie crews of the several vessels. This scene occupies a space of six miles on tbe Thames, from two miles above to four miles below Loudon Bridge and Lime- house. Sittings appointed to be held in Middlesex and London, before Sir C.

Kingston ( Surrey).— JOHN JACOBS, al ( lie Honourable JOHN JULIAN HAMILTON. was indicted for feloniously intermarrying with Catherine Fitzgerald, spinster, at St. Michael's, Bath, on the 23d January, 1817, his first wife, Dorothea Donovan, being ( hen alive. This case stood over from ( lie last assizes, at the instance of the prisoner. Tbe prisoner was a man of fashionable appearance, aud wore a formidable pair of mustachios. The prosecu lion was instituted at the instance of a lad; named Frances Vitales Raspaldo, the widow of an Italian, and with whom the prisoner was supposed to have formed a third matri- monial alliance. The case for the prosecution being closed, an objection was taken on behalf of the prisoner by Mr. Law and Mr. Piatt, who contended that his marriage was void. Mr. Baron Graham said lie would reserve Ihe point for tbe consideration of the Twelve Judges. The Jury, under the learned Judge's direction, found the prisoner guilty. On Monday evening, immediately after Mr Mathews had finished his heart- rending de- scription of ( he gambler, iu his entertainment at ( he English Opera- house, a young gentle- man was so violently affected ( bat he fell back senseless in an hysteric fit. Medical assistance was instantly procured, and Mr. Mathews remained un( il ( lie gentleman was recovered and ( hen returned and relieved the audience of the anxiety they felt for tbe sufferer. An awful ins( ance of sudden dea( h occurred on Friday night, al Dtury- Iane Theatre. Mr Benjamin Hall, banker, of Dublin, and prin cipal partner in the Grm of Hall aud Co. of that plaee, whilst sitting, surrounded by bis friends, in a private box, suddenly dropped back and expired. A few days ago a mendicant, borne in hand- barrow, made liis appearance in Kirk cudbright, anil attracted no small attention and sympathy by his seemingly aged and vene cable appearance. His head, without an covering, was adorned with a profusion < hair of the most silvery whiteness; bis beard which from time immemorial lias never been disturbed either by scissors or a razor, was most formidable ill point of size, and of ( I same snowy hue— in short, a more striking or imposing head never sat on a gaberlunzie': shoulders; and as Ihe good people of Kirkcud bright bore liiui in slate from door ( o door, Ihe head, together with liis moving story of ( lis aided limbs and feeble eld, procured him an awmous from almost every Mouseboulder. But tbe lynx- eyed Magistrates of Kirkcud bright, as has been proved on more than one occasion, are the most dangerous of all people to play tricks before; for one of them, learning that the " Beggar- man" was beginning demean himself very unlike an elderly person be was induced to take a more narrow view him, and instantly discovered under his vene rable disguise the face of an old offender, Orders were forthwith issued to the tow officers lo convey him out of Ihe burgh, and as his route was towards Gatehouse, they saw him ferried across the liver, and lauded at small inn on the opposite side Before leaving him, however, they procured the necessar apparatus for shaving, and proceeded, not without violent struggles and imprecations on the part of the mendicant, to render liis up pearance more conformable to his youth and real character. As the barbers proceeded i their task, cheeks as red aud round as those of an imaged sun upon a sign- hoard, came gru dually into view; his strength also, contral- to ( hat of Samson upon an occasion somewhat similar, increased with every whisk of the razor, and when the officers left him, no sooner did be suppose them to be out of sigh than he took up his barrow, and not only walked, hut ran from the scene of his melu inorpl i osts.— Dumfries Courier.

Iii the House of Commons, on Friday week, Mr. Canning stated, in answer to objections advanced by Mr. Hume, ( bat Ihe whole expense of the Duke of Northumberland's mission to ranee, amounting to nearly £ 30,000 was de- rayed by ( lie Noble Duke himself, out of his private fortune; bis Majesty's Government, low- ever, bad presented his Grace with a diamond- hilled sword, value £ 10.000, iu Ihe name of ( lie King, as a part of his eqnipmen(, iind as a memorial for his posterity of Ihe lisliuguished service on which he hail been mployeil. This was the whole that the mission lias cost the public treasury. Died, on Saturday the 24th of March, at his apart men Is, York- buildings, Marylehone, after a long aud painful illness, which lie bore with much fortitude, Dr. John Gray, late Physician to Huslar Hospital, aged 58. During the eventful period of ( be French lte- oliuion War, he held various responsible offices connected with the Medical Department of the Navy. St. Vincent, Nelson, and Collingwood, were his personal friends. It was at the direct request of the Hero of ( he Nile, on his leturn from the pursuit of the French lo Ihe West Indies, in 1805, ( hat he was made Physician to the Fleel^ which won the ba'tle of Trafalgar. His merit was fully acknowledged, yet quite unobtrusive, and such were the uiniubleness of his character, and the coneiliatoriuess of his manners, that ( hough placed in some difficult situations, mode every one who knew him a friend. A most distressing circumstance has taken place at ( he house of Belson and Brown, clothiers, at High Wycombe. About three weeks ago, Mr. Brown went into S • mei- set- shire on business, and as Mrs. liaison's friends lived there, it was agreed that Mrs. Belson should accompany him. On Saturday Mr. Belson received a let( er, bearing the signature of both ( lie absentees, from Liverpool, wishing Mr. Belson adieu, as they were at that instant going to America. What adds to the disgrace- ful conduct of this pretended friend is, that he has left a wife and five children behind. Mrs. Belson has happily left no children.— London paper. The Bishop of Salisbury lias made public tlie following notification:" To my rule of admit- ting none but Graduates as candidates for Hoiy Orders, I make one exception, and that is in ( he case of Dissenting Ministers of ortho- dox persuasions, who were precluded from a University education by their dissent from the Established Church, hut who, having renoun- ced their former ministry, and made a public declaration of their reasons for so doing, Can bring sufficient testimonials of their moral character from respectable persons of their former connections, and from beneficed Clergy- men of Ihe Established Church.

' WEDNESDAY'S MAI1>~ LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 3. rpHE King of France has ordered a silversta- X ( lie of I tie Virgin, of the natural size,, to be made for the Metropolitan Church of Paris 4e expense of which will be defrayed nut of his privy purse. The Barbadoes Mercury to ( lie 29th of Jan. has been received. On the morning of the 25th, between ten anil eleven o'clock, an alarm- ing fire broke out in Bridge Town, which con- tinued to rage with great violence until near three in the afternoon. Upwards of one hun- dred houses were burnt, and property to almost an incalculable ' amount destroyed. It was not " known how Ihe fire originated. A general meeting of the inhabitants was held on the 27th, at which a committee was appointed to ascertain the losses of individuals, and a sub- scription immediately entered into, which amounted, at the termination of the meeting, to £ 765 7s. Oil. Before leaving Castlebar, Judge Burton, having learned that an affair of honour was in contemplation, had the parties, Lord Bing- ham and Mr. Jantes Browne, brought before him, and bound them and sureties in recog- nizance to a large amount, to keep the peace — to the amount, as we understand, of nine or ten thousand pounds on each side. His Lordship warned tlmm, that if they went to France, and had a meeting there, they and their bail would forfeit their recognizance. This prevention of a duel between those two respectable and amiable persons, has given great and general satisfaction.— Dublin Re- gister. His Majesty lias, with his characteristic mu- nificence, made a second donation of One Thousand Pounds to the Spitalfields' Com- mittee. Mr. Wilson, one of the Members of the City, has announced his intention not to pre- sent himself as a candidate for the representa- tion of Loudon at the ensuing election—" its arduous duties being beyond his present strength, and entirely incompatible with the attention to those commercial pursuits which lie considers due to his family." The dissolution of Parliament will, we un- derstand, take place in the first or second week of next June, the Commons intending to rise at the end of May, and have the elec- tions over before the harvest, unless some very unusual and unexpected occurrence should take place.— Observer. The river Conway, in North Wales, was of considerable importance, even before the Roman invasion, for the pearl muscle. A fine specimen of Pearl from Hie above river is said to have been presented to Catherine, consort of Charles II. hy Sir Richard Wynne, of Gwydir; and it is further said that the same river has sine'e contributed to adorn the regal crown of England. Lauy Newborough pos- sessed a good collection of the Conway pearls, which she purchased of those who were fortu- nate enough to find them, as there is no regular fishery at present. The late Sir Robert Vaughau had obtained a sufficient number to appearat Court, with a button and loop to his hat, formed of these beautiful productions, about the year 1780. Ecclesiastical Changes.— Tt is settled that Dr. Van Mildert, the present Bishop of Lan- ilaff, will succeed to Durham, and that the See of Lamlaff, with the Deanery, will be filled by Mr. Sumner, the chaplain and libra- rian to Ihe King, and the editor of Milton's Treatise, lately published, lie i3 about 35 years of age, and formerly of Trinity College, Cambridge, where his first step to preferment was gained by being tutor to the son of the, present Marquis of Conyngham. We believe lie is the youngest English bishop ever made. We do not believe what is stated in Ihe Wor- cester Journal, that the Bishop of Worcester refused Durham, because we know that the messenger who announced to Lord Liverpool to go at once to Dr. Van Mildert, with the offer of Durham. Mr. Sumner is, we believe, the brother of the Prebendary of Durham, and Rector of Mapledurham. The present is per- haps the first instance of the elevation from the poorest to the richest See. Mr. Bayley, Vicar of Margate, and lafe Chaplain to the Commons, will succeed to the stall at Canter- bury, vacant by the elevation of Mr. Sumner. — Sunday Times. Dr. Milner, Roman Catholic Bishop of the Midland District, now lies in so dangerous a state of illness, at his residence in Wolver- hampton, that little hopes are entertained of bis recovery.— Worcester Herald. As Theodore Hook and Colman were sur- veying the progress of the new London Bridge, the former made the following ludicrous im- promptu :— What evils men will overcome, That o'er this new bridge travel; For, as they walk, they'll trample down The piles, the stone, and gravel! On the North door of Westminster Abbey is affixed a board, hearing this inscription—" The entrance to the Tombs is in Poets' Corner ;" under which a wag wrote " The paths of glory lead but to the grave."

FRENCH Papers to the 4th, which arrived last night, mention the death of the Countess Benyowski. The name is rendered familiar to the English reader, less by the real exploits' of her adventurous husband than hy the fabulous account which, in the play of the same name, is nightly amusing them here. The Countess was 79 yesrs of age We also received Brussels Papers to the 3d. Their contents are of considerable importance. By letters from Berlin on the 25th, which, though private, carry on the face of them pretty marked proofs of the truth they narrate, it ap- pears that the intercourse between the Court of Prussia and that of St. Peterburgli is daily become more frequent. The Russians are, the letters say, no longer to content themselves with acting a secondary part— we presume a neutral part— in the struggle between the Greeks and Turks; and Prussia, it is estimated, whose Monarch has always been friendly to the cause of the former, will, from obvious reasons, both of a political and family nature, join with Russia in protecting it. Frequent private au- diences have taken place between the King and the Russian Ambassador, and the former is soon to set out on a tour through the Eastern Provinces for the especial purpose of an inter- view with Nicholas, when at Warsaw, whither he will soon proceed, in order to be crowned King of Poland. These various facts and indications have excited the highest hopes among the friends of the Greek cause, in Berlin, and not among the young and enthusias- tic, but among the aged anil considerate. Many of these are war- worn veterans, seamed with scars, who have eagerly professed their willing- ness to take up arms in the cause of their Chris- tian brethren. If to the arms of Russia and Prussia, should be joined the arms of Austria, as from the movements in Hungary, the French politicians lately alleged they would be, a heavier storm broods over the followers of Omar, than has threatened them since Mahomet planted the Cresceut on the battlements of Constantinople. Still it must be recollected, that these notes of warlike preparation may pass away without effect, although, from their tenour, and from the general caution of poli- tical writers in the Prussian capital, we should rather anticipate a coutrary result. Accounts have been received from Demerara to the 7th of February. The new regulations for the treatment of the slaves were carried into execution without complaint, except the new regulations respecting the female slaves. The stocks, and ( he painful attitudes they are placed in for a certain time, as a commutation for flogging, are loudly exclaimed against. The heat of the climate, and the exposure to the insects, particularly to the bite of Ihe musqtiito, are stated to lie grievously felt by these poor wretches more keenly than the lash. Colonel Young is appointed protector of slaves in the colony, with a salary of £ 2000 per an num. It appears by the official correspondence of Lord Nelson, after the battle of the Nile, that when the L'Orient blew up, she had on board £ ( WO, 000. The Pacha of Egypt has granted to Mr. Bouiing and others, a firman, gjving thetn the exclusive privilege of employing the diving bell, for the purpose of extricating any treasure which may have been lost on the coast of Egypt. The firman is dated in January lasr, and is remarkable for the anxiety it ex- emplifies to introduce the modern discoveries of European science into that interesting and extraordinary country. It is understood that the Commissioners at the Cape of Good Hope have sent home their report; and it is further stated, that iu conse- quence of some fresh charges, which have been furnished, not. hy the Commissioners, but by persons officially connected with the Cape Go- vernment, an order has gone out by the Sparroivhawk for the recall of Lord Charles Somerset.— Times, The Greek merchants of ( be City report, that Lord Cochrane will immediately he in- vested with the title of " First Consul of the Republic of Greece."— Morning Paper. Windsor April 4.— His Majesty, accom- panied by his usual attendants and regular re tinue, has this day left the Royal Lodge, at the same early hour as yesterday, to ( ake bis ordinary exercise. We have heard that his Majesty does not intend visiting Brighton, hut that it is his in- tention to leave the. Royal Lodge the latter end of this week, or in the course of the next, for Carlton House, and that his slay in Londou wiil be but short.— Morning Herald. Yesterday's Gazette contains an order tor the Court's going into mourning, on Sunday next, the 9th instant, for his late Majesty the King of Portugal. Tlie Court will change the mourning on the 23d, and go out of it 011 the 30th instant. The King has been pleased to empower the Dean nnd Chapler of the Cathedral Church of Durham, to elect a Bishop of that See. void by the death of the late Bishop, and to re- commend Dr. William Van Mildert, now Bishop of Llanthiff.— Gazette. It is stated that the decease of the late Bishop of Durham occurring after twelve o'clock, that is, on the morning of the 25th instant, being quarter- day, has given his re- presentatives the emoluments of one half- year, which would not have been the case had lie died before twelve the night preceding. Parliament has as yet got through but little of its actual business; and we do not see what probability there can be of the Session ending so soon as has been reported. We believe there has been as yet hut one, or at most, two Commissions for giving the Royal Assent to Bills, while every thing of a weighty nature— such as Mr. Peel's Judicial Reform Bills, the Insolvent Act, and the necessary proceedings arising out of the Chancery Report, remain as yet hut almost in embryo. We have 110 doubt hut Ministers now sorely regret not having dissolved the Parliament last year, at a time when the wantonness of wealth, whether real or apparent, would have brought both more gootl humour, as well as money, info play at the hustings, than they are likely now fo witness ; and having let slip the lucky moment, we should not wonder if tliey were still in- clined to wait the chance of what the chapter of accidents may turn up, and postpone the dissolution till after the ensuing harvest. Seals are said ( o he as cheap and plentiful as cucumbers, few people comparatively having money to spare for such objects; and fewer still being willing to risk any great expense for an object the tenure of which must necessarily be more than ever uncertain. Indeed we can hardly imagine at any time money so absurdly laid out as in contested elections; which, to say nothing of the. ruin they often bring upon those who engage in them, tent! more to de- moralize the people and undermine public libeity llian tiny one cause that can be tiemeil. — English Chronicle. VACCINE ESTABLISHMENT. The following is a Copy of the Annual Re- port. of the National Vaccine Board to the Secretary of State for the Home Department:— To the Right Honourable Robert Peel, Secretary of State, Sjc. Sin— According to the Bills of Mortality for 1S25, the deaths by Small Pox amount to 1,229, a much greater number than has been'reported for some years past.. We hail reason to appre- hend, from- our communications with medical practitioners in various parts of the country, that this disease had prevailed lately with more than its usual malignity; and our suspicions have been confirmed, by what has occurred in the Metropolis. From this melancholy statement, it is im- possible to avoid the conclusion that, although during the same year 2,00( 1 more persons have been vaccinated hy our stationary Vaccinators, than during any former year, yet the lower orders of society continue to be prejudiced against vaccination, and so careless of the issue, that they still allow Small Pox to take its course. And yet, what argument more powerful can be urged in favour of vaccination, than the daily remark which the least observant must make, that 111 our churches, our theatres, and in every large assemblage of the people, to see a young person bearing the marks of Small Pox is now of extremely rare occurrence. To what can the freedom from the vestiges of so loathsome a disease be attributed, but to the protecting influence of vaccination? for inocu- lation has now been disused by all respectable Practitioners for some time past. That a considerable number of persons have had Small Pox after having been vaccinated, we are ready to admit; although of cases of this kind presented to us, a large majority are found, on examination, to be without the test of the operation having been performed success- fully, and effectually, which all agree to be necessary to perfect security; vet some, from a peculiarity of constitution, similar to that, per- haps, which admits the Small Pox twice, are susceptible of the variolous infection. But vvc do at the same time continue to con- tend, on the- fullest evidence, that the subse- quent disease is a safe one, and frequently as mild as the chicken pox, which, when it oc- curred, as it often - did, after inoculation, occa- sioned neither alarm nor surprise. Vaccination therefore, it will be said, does not afford an absolute and perfect security. We do not present it to the world with that pretension, but we declare that it is the least imperfect of the resources which we possess— that it has as mjny advantages over inoculation ( which we desire it should supersede) as the latter has over the natural Small Pox ; besides this great and peculiar merit, that it communi- cates no contagion; for it should be remem- bered, that inoculation, wheresoever it is used, there it establishes immediately a source of in- fection ; and it is notorious, that whatever protection individuals might experience from it, the mortality in London was eventually in- creased by it, as it was the occasion of keeping up a constant supply of contagious disease. We continue to receive applications from all quarters of tlie world for Vaccine Lymph; and in answer to our correspondents, never fail to communicate to them such improvements in the management of vaccination, as our experience may from time to time suggest. That the suc- cess of this great resource depends very much on the manner in which the process is conducted, is proved by our own observations in this country, and is amply confirmed by the accounts which we receive from the Continent, in many parts of which, where the method inculcated by this Board has been adopted, the Small Pox may be said to be almost, if not altogether, extirpated.

Andrew Weston, a miserable- looking object, who has since been well known for years, in the vicinity of Blackfriars- road and the bo- rough of Southward, expired on Monday night, in consequence of suffocation from excessive drinking. The deceased lived in one of the courts leading out of Great Guild ford- street, in the borough, from whence it was his custom to issue every morning, and proceed over Black- friars- bridge, for the purpose of gathering alms. Billy lUaters, one; of the prominent characters introduced into the piece called Life in London, as performed at the Add phi Theatre, respecting the King of the Beggars, was suggested in consequence of the habits of the deceased, who always prided himself as leader of the " cadgers" in the metropolis. He was one of the most dissipated of the class to which he belonged, never returning to the hovel in which he took up his abode except in a state of intoxication. In bis fits of inebriety, when at a distance from home, and incapable of proceeding forward, he was in general picked up by some of the numerous coal- heavers residing in the same quarter rut' the town, and carried to his dwelling on their shoulders, as from bis diminutive stature it was no very difficult task to perform- On the night of his death, he had been drinking spirits and porter duringthe day, and was as usual carried to Williams's- court between two coal- portors, who are represented to have conveyed him along between them with his head downwards. On setting down their burden, the unfortunate man was discovered to be in a dying state. Surgical assistance was immediately procured, hut poor Andrew was quite dead ere it arrived. Information of his death was given at eleven o'clock to the night constable of St. Saviour's parish, who proceeded to the house, the inmates of which refused to give up the body, 011 the ground that their late lodger died in their debt a month's rent. Another strong reason for their refusal in delivering up the corpse, was a report that prevailed in the neighbourhood that the surgeons of either of the hospitals in the borough had offered no less a sum than £ 100 for the body after death, for the purpose of dissection, in consequence of its extraordinary formation. The constable, however, claimed Ihe body of the deceased, as none of his re- lations were on the spot, and conveyed it away to the watchhouse, clearly perceiving that if it was left behind, the inmates would dispose of it to the highest bidder. An inquest it is expected will be held 011 the body. STOCKS. 3 per rt. Cons. 79J}.— New 4 per Ct. 96 5J 6J.— India Bonds 4 5 pr.— Ex. Hills .£ 1000 i 6 pi-.— Cons, for Acc. 781$. KORISttiN FUNDS.

It is » ith pleasure we refer our readers to an advertisement in our first page, detailing a re- markable cure lately performed by Mr. Lignum's Antiscorbutic Drops, which have been very successful in eradicating all the forms of Scrofulous and Scorbutic Complaints. Such indeed is ( lie high reputation they have deservedly attained in litis neighhourhood at St, that no other medicine is scarce ever ' houglit of. for these complaints.— A large supply has just been received liy the Printer of this Paper, Mr. Carter, and Mr. C.

At the meeting of the Dock Committee on Tuesday week, it was determined to make the whole of the north and south sides of the Brunswick Basin into inclined planes, for the purpose of affording belter accommodation to steam- vessels and river craft. The Dock Sur- veyor was directed to consult with the Corpo- ration Surveyor as to the best mode to be adopted to enable the Corporation to take pos- session of that part of tlie Old Dock belonging to tlmm. A survey of the stations between Liverpool and Holyhead, necessary for Ihe purpose of establishing a telegraphic commu- nication between those two places was directed to lie made.— Liverpool Paper. A curious circumstance lias been detailed in evidence on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Bill, by Mr. Cropper, of Liverpool, namely, lliat a piece of calico may have to pass four times along ( he road between Liver- pool and Manchester, and thrice across the channel between England and Ireland. The raw materials is first tranported from Liverpool to Manchester; it is there spun into twist, then sent baol< to Liverpool and forwarded to Ire- land, where it is wove; after this, il is returned to Liverpool and forwarded to Manchester, where it is calendered, or in some way receives the finishing process; it is then sent hack to Liverpool, and on to Ireland, where it is worn. Mr. Cropper thinks that dispatch and economy are, every day, more essential, to maintain our commercial superiority; where two voyages were formerly made between Liverpool and America, there are now made three; and very little reflection is necessary ( o show that a saving of time is at the same time a saving of capital. Mr. Cooper also stated that America now manufactures as much as we did 20 years ago, and France is only thirteen years behind this country. An iuquest was held at Keswick, before Peter Hodgson, Esq. on Ihe 27th ult. on the body of Robert M'Cade, driver of the Kendal coach, who died on Sunday morning, sitting in a chair in the house of Jacob Banks.— Verdict, Apoplexy. Mr. Faulkner, one of the Managers of the York Theatre, was found drowned oil Satur- day afternoon in the river Ouse. It appears ( hat he left home very early in the morning, and it is supposed walked to the river, and threw himself into the water. His hat and stick being observed on the banks of the river, Jed to suspicion, and the river being dragged for the space of several hours, his body was at length found. This is the gentleman who had his thigh broken in a fray between his brother Manager, Mr. Downe, 011 the Hull stage, some time ago. Mr. Faulkner had been for some time in n depressed state of mind. He lost his wife about two years ago. He has left live young children. George Mitchell Jackson, a boy 13 years of age, was capitally convicled nt York Assizes of uttering forged Saddleworth Bank notes, and sentenced to death. The new Menai suspension bridge is re- ported to be so much agitated by storms, aS to' render the passage over it barely practicable; and some very considerable alterations must be made before it can be considered even safe at all times. The great defect seems to be the comparrlive lightness of the platforms, and its large unbroken surface, by means of which it is actually heaved up by the winds, as a large tarpauling would be if fastened at the four corners moderately tight. On Wednesday evening last, a luminous arch made its appearance in the heavens, and excited the admiration and wonder of every beholder. At eight o'clock it extended from the north western horizon directly over the town, presenting a magnificent and clearly- defined arch of pale light, through which the stars were distinctly visible. About ten the brightness began to disappear, and in less than an hour 110 traces of it were left. The evening was clear, with a cold breeze from the W. N. W. thermometer as low as 34 in the open air. By many persons this phenomenon was called a lunar rainbow. This however is 8n improbability. The moon did not shine on Wednesday evening, nor were there either clouds or rain. The real origin of the pheno- menon were the northern lights, then visible nearer Ihe pole.—" By a person who saw the light make its first appearance in the east, or north- east ( says the Carlisle Patriot) we are informed that it resembled a light cloud, and ' that it shot upwards with considerable velocity for a few moments, and then gradually ex- tended, with a lower motion, and without corruscations." The same paper also contains the following extract of a letter from the Scotch Border :—" From eight to a little after nine o'clock on Wednesday night, the sky exhibited the appearance of an arch in the shape of a rainbow, extending here from West and by N. fo due East, its base at the former point being considerably wider than at the latter. The corruscations occasionally visible on i( s surface clearly proved it to have been formed from an uncommon junction of the rays of the Aurora Borealis, which du- ring the whole time enlightened the space to the Northward, between the East and West ends of the base in a peculiarly beautiful manner."— By reference to the abridgement of the Philosophical Transactions, vol. 10, year 1790, the reader will find a full and scientific description of various luminous arches, seen by ( lie late Mr. Win. Hey, of Leeds, F. It. S. The first he saw was at Ilux- ton, in March, 1774, about half- past eight at night. u Its colour ( says Mr. Hey) was white, inclining to yellow; its breadth in the crown apparently equal to that of the rainbow. As it approached the horizon, each leg of the arch liecaine gradually broader, it was sta- tionary, and free from any sensible corrus- cations. lis direction seemed to be from about the North- East to tli'e South- West, at least its Eastern leg was inclined to the North, and its Western to the South. The evening was clear, and the stars appeared bright." In October, 1775, Mr. Hey saw a similar arch at Leeds, the same in breadth and position. On the 21st of March, 1783, he observed a like phenomenon. On the 2( Jth of Ihe same mouth, about the same lime in the evening, he was entertained with a similar appearance. On the 12tli of April, lie observed a much grander specimen of this phenomenon; and on Ihe 2Gth of the same month, he witnessed a fifth ' instance, equally brilliant aud wonder- ful.— Whitehaven Paper. To the Editor of THE LANCASTER GAZETTE. Sin, THE Gentleman alluded lo in yonr last week's paper is entitled to praise for recalling our atten- tion ( o tlmt essential constituent of every trading town — a Bank; and we ought to feel grateful to you, Sir, for bringing the matter so fairly for- ward.— It is quite clear, that something decisive onght soon to be done, and if nt all times it he the pnrt of a mean mid craven spirit to shrink from the nvowal of useful though unpleasant truths, such a dereliction of principle would be particularly base at the present moment, when the future character and commerce of Lancaster depend npon the prudence, the good faith, and public spirit, of those who shall undertake the very delicate task of advising upon the re- esta- blishment of a Bank. I buve no remarks to make directly npon ( he Petilion recommended to our notice, or the pamphlet in which Ihe author's views are ex- plained more at length ; before the inhabitants of Lancaster take upon themselves to enlighten Par- liament on the currency question, lliey will do well to investigate ( he snbjecl; for ( be present, it may be enough for them ( o consider the causes of their own wants and distresses, to prottt, if pos- sible, by dear bought experience, and to retrieve their own affairs as best ( hey can. To me, I confess, it has always appeared a great fault in Ihe inhabitants of Ibis town, n fault to which all their misfortunes may be traced, ( hat, instead of judging men fairly by their conduct or ( rying any question whatever on its own merits, by ( lie immutable principles of reason and equity, they have leagued themselves together, offensively and defensively, and surrendered their judgment lo the guidance of any forward, plausible set of persons, that would pander to their prejudices, and save them Ihe trouble of ( hinking. A cir- cumstance ( hat occurred some years ago was very strongly brought to my recollection at ( he Public Meeting, held lately in the Town- Hall, and ( hough I made free to mention it ( here, I think it worthy of being recorded in your paper. When the Savings Bank was first established here, it was taken under ( lie protection of a nu- merous and highly respectable Meeting, which resolved itself" more majorum," into a Committee of Managers, who exerted themselves in the usual way— one class endeavoured to render the insti- tution as extensively useful as possible—( he others took upon themselves the stepdame duly of prevenling its doing mischief to the community in generator the two Lancaster Banks in particular. When the concern had acquired a capital, some of the former class proposed, in Ihe simplicity of Iheir hearts, to vest the money in Government Securities; indeed ( hey were advised ( o do so by a Gentleman whose authority would have been great on any other question, I mean the late Right Hon. Geo. Rose.* But when ( he time came, ( he second class of Managers made their appearance— ( he money was kept in tbe town, Worswick's Bank failed, nnd the improvident Managers of the Provident Bank had £ 1800 to pay the contri- bulors.— To me, nnd many others, ( be disaster was a serious one ill a pecuniary view ; but Ihe loss of money gave me no uneasiness to be com- pared with tbe shame nnd vexation I still feel that I did not then freely express my own opinion, as ( o the soundness of ( he advice given by Mr. Hose, nowithstanding the ( then undoubted) stability of the two Banks. I shall not multiply instances, Mr. Editor, for I would avoid giving unnecessary offuiee; but Ihe Managers of every other institu- tion, must have Sftierved how often the public good has given way to jealousy and parly feelings.— So long as the business of this town is managed On such principles, there can be little hope of bettering our condition ; we shall be buffeted by constant tempests, nnd endure, as we have endured, every other misery of ( hat Limbo described by the Florentine us destined by eternal justice for those who live for themselves alone. In the establishment of a New Bank, then, let me request of the men of business and Ihose who have still a little capital left, that ( hey will attend to ( heir own affairs, and survey the past before they assent to any plan for ( he future. The exer- cise of a moderate share of discretion will con- vince them that ( he old plan is in its own nature hollow and insecure; that the accommodation such a Bank can afford lo speculators and needy adventurers, must be furnished nt Ihe public ex- pense, or rather would never be furnished nt all by those who have any thing of their own to lose. Nor is this to be regretted. Of the blazing stars, that bave suddenly risen above our horizon, how many have been as suddenly lost again in niter darkness, and ( he fortunate few who, having sprung at once from poverty to wealth, continue afterwards to guard against reverses, do not always greatly contribute ( o the grace of society. The Bank of England itself is not free from the suspicion that attaches to all inscrutable things— her proceedings are kept profoundlysecret; and in a country like this, where secresy is, there ought to be distrust; her days too, are numbered ; and if a Branch Bank could be established here, it would of necessity require to be remodelled, perhapstiroken np, in ( he course of a few years. A Joinl Slock Bank, on Ihe principles enforced by Act of Parliament, would afford lo the inhabi- tants perfect security of property and every fa- cility reqnisite for fair trading upon real capital. More than ( his ought not to be expected or de- sired. Had such a Bank been esiablished thirty or forty years ago, many kite- flyers would, doubt- less, bave been kept to honest labour; but many families, now reduced lo bitter penury, might still have enjoyed comfort nnd independence, Hie hnrd- earned rewards of frugality, iuduslry nud care; nnd many who have sunk broken- hearted to ( he grove, might have now b^ en useful and happy members 0/ the community.

W. 1VAKEFIELD On Friday last, Mr. William Wakefield, the brother of Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield, and charged with being an accomplice in the abduction of Miss Turner, underwent an ex- aininalion at the Rain Inn, Disley, before Thomas Leigh, Esq. of Lvine, and G. W. Newlon, Esq. of Taxall. The prisoner, who is a very genteel looking young man, appa rent! y not more than 21 years of age, with something of a foreign appearance, was brought from Slockport, in the custody of Barratt, ( he Deputy Constable of that town, lie was 1111 provided with any professional assistance. The first witness examined was the young lady herself, who did not give her evidence viva voce, but a written examination, pre viotisly prepared, was read over to her, and she stated that it was correct. It stated the fact of the abduction, as they have been already detailed in the newspapers, without any material additions. She positively denied that she had ever seen tbe prisoner or his bro ther, before they received her at the Albion Hotel, in this town. She admitted that no force whatever was used towards her, by any of the parties concerned in the abduction, but stated that she should not have consented to accom- pany Mr. Wakefield, or to marry him, had it not been for the artifices practised upon her, and especially the representations of the pro bable ruin of her father, if she refused. The next witness examined was Mr. Grims- ditch, solicitor, of Macclesfield, who stated that the representations relative to him made by Mr. Wakefield ( o Miss Turner, were untrue. Mr. Turner, the father of the young lad}-, was next examined. He stated that she was bis only child, and was 15 years of age last February ; that lie was possessed of property in land, as well as personal property, to which she was the heir apparent. That his daughter was placed at school at Liverpool, and that he had not authorized her to be removed from thence, nor had he given any authority for writing a letter, purporting lo he signed by Dr. Ainsworlh, representing Mrs. Turner to be ill, and requesting that his daughter might be sent home in the care of the bearer. This was all the evidence produced : but the Magistrates, conceiving Ihe testimony of Miss Dalby, of Liverpool, ( from whose school Miss Turner was carried off) to be necessary to make out the case against the prisoner, the examination was adjourned to Monday, to give time for procuring her attendance. SECOND DAY, Monday, April 3. The examination commenced this day at two o'clock, at the same place, and before the same Magistrates as 011 Friday. O11 this oc- casion Mr. Harmer, of London, attended as the attorney of the prisoner. The only witness examined was Miss Dalby, who stated that she and her three sisters kept a boarding- school at Liverpool, and that Miss Turner was in their care on tbe 6th of March last; on which day, about eight o'clock in the morning, a letter was presented to her by a person who came with a carriage, and stated himself to be servant ( o Mr. Turner; that he had come from Shrigley ; ( hat Mrs. Turner had been taken ill, and wished to see her daughter. He then presented a letter, saying that it would detail the particulars. The letter stated that Mrs. Turner was seized with a sudden attack of paralysis, aud wished to see her daughter immediately. In consequence of this letter. Miss Turner set out in the car- riage, with the person who brought the letter, in about twenty minutes after it arrived ; and witness did not hear anything of her again until the 12th of March, when she received a letter from Miss Margaret Turner, the cousin of Miss Turner, stating that Dr. Ainsworth had communicated to the family some very distressing intelligence respecting Miss Turner, and requesting ( o hear from her immediately. In consequence of this letter, witness went over toShrigely, where she learnt that she had been imposed upon, nnd that Miss Turner had been carried off by fraudulent means. Before that time witness never knew such per- sons as Edward Gibbon Wakefield or William Wakefield, and never saw the prisoner before to her knowledge. Neither of those gentle- men had ever been at her house ; and she did not think that eilher of thein could have had any opportunity of seeing Miss Turner whilst she was under the care of witness and her sisters. This concluded Ihe evidence. Mr. Harmer declined asking any questions from Miss Dalby, and begged to know what course the Magistrates intended to take. Mr. Grimsditch ( who conducted the case for the prosecution) submitted that the evidence he had laid before the Magistrates fully made out the capital offence: and he therefore felt it his duty to call npon them to commit the prisoner for trial 011 that charge. Mr. H'armer contended that the offence amounted only to a misdemeanor, as Miss Turner was not heir apparent, but on| y heir presumptive of her father. Various contin- gencies might arise to prevent her from inhe- riting her father's property. That gentleman might have a son, and thus prevent her from succeeding to the inheritance. The case evi- dently amounted ( o no more than a misdemea- nor, under the statute of Philip and Mary, which impose a certain punishment 011 all persons carrying away a young lady under 16 years of age. He therefore subinitled that the prisoner was entitled to bail. Mr. Grimsditch said ( lie point, whether a person in the situation of Miss Turner was or was not a heir apparent within the meaning of the statute of Henry VII. and he submitted that the Magistrates ought not to take upon themselves the responsibility of deciding it, especially in a case like the present. But, if they should be of opinion that the offence made out against the prisoner amounted only lo a misdemeanor, still he contended that they ought not to admit him to bail ; and he quoted the slalute respecting bail ( 3 Edward I. c. 14) and Burn's Justice, lo shew that for certain manifest and heinous offences, though not amounting to felony, Magistrates ought not to lake bail. Mr. Harmer briefly replied.— The room was ( hen cleared, and the Magistrates remained some time in consultation ; after which they announced that they should commit for the misdemeanor; but they must decline to admit the prisoner to bail. Mr. Harmer stated that he should apply for a \ vrit of habeas corpus, in order to have tbe prisoner brought up and bailed by one of the Judges. A warrant of committment to Lancaster Castle was then made out; and we understand the prisoner will be sent off to that place this morning. We believe he was married to the daughter of a Baronet, only two or three days before his apprehension, On Thursday last, Robert Greenhalgh, late of Gressingham, near this town, was tried at the Preston Quarter Sessions, for stealing a quantity of ducks and geese, ( lie properly of William Warhrick, of Torrisholme. A second indictment was preferred and found against the prisoner, for stealing ducks, belonging to Henry Caley, of Torrisholme Hall ; but the prisoner's guilt being clearly established in the first case, he was sentenced to seven years transportation. It appeared upon the trial, that the prisoner had been convicted of felony upon three former occasions, and had once before received sentence of transportation. A mad dog made his appearance at Spring mills near Bradford, last Sunday morning. A man of the name of Edwin Walker, having obtained an axe, intrepidly followed the ani- mal into a yard,— the dog immediately sprang Cowards him. but was brought to the ground lifeless by a blow from the axe. The animal did no damage that we have heard of, LANCASTER BOROUGH SESSIONS Were held on Thursday morning last, at the Town- Hall, before the Worshipful Samue" Greg- son, Mayor, assisted by Aldermen Giles and Redmaync.

It ap- peared, that an order had been granted, on the 16th of June, 1825, for the removal of the pauper from Upper- Holker to Staveley, which was appealed against at the July Sessions, and the hearing was set aside, with costs. After the removal of the pauper to Staveley, and before the case was determined, the pauper had been delivered of a bastard child in Stave- ley. Mr. Crompton took an objection to the form of the order, which was for the removal of the pauper and her bastard child, without naming the child, or stating its age. Mr. Raincock moved to amend the order, by inserting the name of the child*, and stating it to be an infant, and cited the case of the King v. Idle, from the 2d vol. of Barnwell and Aldcrson's Reports, page 149; by which it had lu'*' n determined that a woman and her bastard child might be removed by the sanre order. Mr. Raincock admitted, that in a case at the last Sessions, wherein the Inhabitants of Cockerham were appellants, and the Inhabi- tants of Thurnham respondents, ( which order was something similar to the present) he had succeeded in getting the order set aside, as to the bastard child ; but that now he was on the other side of the question. The Court, after hearing the arguments, were of opinion, that they had given a wrong decision in the ease of Thurnham and Cocker- ham, and said Mr. Raincock might therefore go 011 with his case as it now stood. Hannah Dennison was then called, who stated that she was born in Kentmere, aiid lived there with her parents until she was twelve years old, and that her father was possessed of an estate in Kentniere, upon which he then lived. The appellants then admitted that the pauper had formerly a settlement in Kcntmcre. The witness was removed from Holker to Staveley in June last; and on the twenty- first of August, she was delivered of a child in Staveley; and at the Sessions in October fol- lowing, she came to Lancaster, as a witness. Cross- examined by Mr. Crompton.— Witness lived as a servant with Mr. Heaviside seven weeks; it was before Martinmas, 1823, at Fiddler Hall, in Staveley: and about Christ- mas following, Mr. Heaviside hi fed her again, at two shillings per week; and if she con- ducted herself well, was to have nine shillings over. It was agreed they might part on having a fortnight's notice. Witness lived with Mr. Heaviside, at Staveley, about sixteen mouths, and was then turned away, being with child. She then went to her sister's, in Upper Holker, and was removed from thence to Staveley. Witness never got any thing from the overseers of Holker. The Staveley overseers had given money, The child was not fathered— she never had any other children. Mr. IVm. Field, Chief Constable of Lons- dale North of the Sands, proved, that the overseers of Staveley had stopped out of the rolls payable to him, £ 4 2s. Od. on account of the maintenance of the pauper, during' her resi- dence in Staveley. Witness allowed it, at the request of the overseers of Holker, and had charged it in account to them, but which had not yet been paid to him ; and that the money was so stopped by the overseers of Staveley, since November last, after the pauper's removal to Kentmere. Mr. Crompton contended, that the pauper had not been so relieved by Holker, as to enable the Magistrates legally to remove her to Kentmere ; he also contended that the pauper had gained a settlement in Staveley, by her hiring and service with Mr. Heaviside; and cited several cases, in support of this argu- ment. Mr. Raincock replied at considerable length : and after much discussion, the Court confirmed the order, subject to a case for the opinion of the Court of King's Bench, on the points taken by Mr. Crompton. Joseph Goad, of Gleaston, yeoman, was ordered to be fined 40s. for neglecting- to attend his summons as a juryman. At these Sessions, ROBERT GREAVES, of Bowness, Esq. qualified as a Magistrate, and took his seat 011 the bench accordingly. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, LANCASTER. At our Castle, last week, before T. B. Bovven, Esq. one of the Commissioners for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, the following were opposed, in addition to those mentioned in our last:— Edward Hartley, late of Rochdale, flannel- manufacturer, remanded for 7 months, for fraudu- lently disposing of his property. Richard Chorlton, late of Salford, publican for 5 months, for the like offence, and for giving undue preference to two of his creditors. James Tatton, late of Gorton, near Manches- ter, hatter, was remanded to next Court, to give an explanation as to some real property he had disposed of to his son. Isaac Atherton, late of Liverpool, maltster, remanded for 6 months, for purposely withdrawing two books of accounts. John Bell, of Wigan, hawker, who was not opposed, was remanded to next Circuit, to pro- duce an assignment to state what had been done under it. John Blinkhorn, of Manchester, rope- maker, remanded for 3 months, under the 16th section of the Act, for not acting with fairness to his creditors. William Cheetham, of Failsworth, near Man- chester, coal- dealer, remanded for 1 month, under the 16th section of the Act. Roger Mcdcalf, of Manchester, butcher, re- manded for 6 months, for fraudulently making away with his property. Thomas May nock, of Rochdale, woollen- wea- ver, for 6 months, for the like offence. Henry Longfield, of Burnley, calico- manufac- turer, ifor 2 months, under the 16th sect, ofthe Act. James Greenalgh, of Bolton- le- Moors, plumber and glazier, who was not opposed, had his petition dismissed; the detaining creditors' debt not bein satisfactorily made out. Gcoryc Butcher, of Salford, butcher, remanded for 4 months, for concealing his property. Thomas Mills, of Rochdale, flannel- inanufac turer, who was not opposed, was remanded to next Circuit, to produce Win. Kenyoii, and an ac- count of the property sold to him by the insolvent. John Bullock, late of Marsderi, near Burnley, publican, remanded for 3 months, for executing a warrant of attorney to his brother and anothes person, whereby all his property was swepr away, to the total exclusion of the rest of hit creditors. Richard Bradshaw, of Bolton- leTMoors, cot- ton manufacturer, remanded for 4 months, for fraudulently concealing his property. Richard Smithson, late of Wballey. farmer and carrier, remanded for 4 months, under the 16th section of the Act. John Buckley, formerly of SpringHill, near Oldham, and late of Waterhead Mill," Yorkshire, cotton- spinner, for 5 months, for contracting the debt of bis opposing creditor, without any rea- sonable or probable expectation of paying it. John Lomax, late of Accrington, stationer nnd printer, for 6 months, for fraudulently making away with his property. Richard Hacking, of Eccleshill, near Black- burn, farmer, for 8 months, for fraudulently making away with his property. Robert Hacking, of Over Darwen, his brother, Vpmanded for 2 months, for tbe like offence. Richard Ainsworth, late of Bolton- le- Moors, currier and leather- cutter, remanded for 2 months, for the like offence. Mr. Venables made a few observations in the case of Clayton Wilkinson, of Hulme, attorney's clerk, from which it appeared, that this, person had obtained his discharge from prison, last As- sizes, under a supersedeas for want of a declara- tion. He had previously applied to be discharged under the Insolvent Act, and had given his de- taining creditor the usual notice. The detaining creditor was then in Court, to oppose him, but found he had been discharged. The Commissioner considered that the gaoler would be liable for the debt, as tbe Insolvent Act stated, that a plaintiff was not bound to take any further proceedings after the defendant had petitioned the Insolvent Court for his discharge under the Act. Mr. Ilig- gin, the gaoler, replied that it was an extremely hard case upon him, as he bad no means of know- ing when an insolvent had obtained a supersedeas, that he had previously filed his petition in the In- solvent Court. Mr. Higgin was advised to apply to Mr. Baron Ilullock, to have the supersedeas revoked, and take the man again for it, being ob- tained fraudulently, the Judge would readily do it. Mr. Higgin then paid the debt, which amounted to little more than £ 20. On Tuesday last, William Wakefield was committed to our Castle, charged with having aided and assisted his brother, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, in unlawfully conveying Ellen Turner, from a Boarding School, near Liver- pool, and for unlawfully assisting in getting her married. Committed to the Castle, since our last.— Thomas Knowles, charged with having stolen, at Billington, six cows, the property of Roger Green ;— Daniel Gainors, charged with having assaulted John Sudlow, at Cheetham, and robbed him of one silver watch, and one gold ring, his property. We were misinformed respecting a reprieve, which we slated last week, as having been re- ceived for the three men, Simpson, Martin, and Smith, who were left for execution, at our late Assizes, for tittering forged Bank- notes.— They are merely respited until the twenty- ninth of this month. York Lent Assizes.— The calendar nt these assizes contained 56 prisoners; but several came in afterwards ; and in all 61 were tried. Of these three have received senlence of death ( Peter Little, for highway robbery; Joseph Lee and John Atkinson, for horse stealing) 23 have had judgment of death recorded against them ; 4 were sentenced ( o 18 months' imprisonment;•; 4 to 12 months; 2 to 9 months; 1 to 6 months ; 1 lo 2 months; anil 1 lo 14 days;— 12 were acquitted; 1 admitted evi- dence ; and no bills were found against 7. It is perhaps a singular fact, ( hat not one received sentence of transportation direct.— There were eight prisoners tried at the Guildhall ; judg- ment of death was recorded against one ; two sentenced lo be transported for life; two fo be imprisoned 2 years each; one for 14 days; and two were acquitted. Among the prisoners tried before Mr. Baron Hullock. at York Assizes, were HANNAH WHITTAKER and JOSEPH ROBINSON, the one charged with bigamy, the other with feloniously marrying the said Hannah, knowing her to be the wife of another man. In this case, which, in spite of the serious nature of the charge, afforded much amusement from the way in which some of the witnesses gave their evidence, it appeared that the wife had been, during the last two years, in the habit of receiving remittances from her husband in America, for the purpose of joining him there; but having got acquainted with the oilier pri- soner. she preferred staying at home and marrying him. That Whittaker was living, it was admitted, was known by both parties; Ihe defence offered being that he had told his wife, before going abroad, that their marriage was an illegal one. They were found Guilty, and sentenced, tbe woman to nine months' and the mail to twelve months' imprisonment, and to be kept to hard labour. The parties were members of the Society of Ranters. PETER LITTLE, for highway robbery, and LEE and ATKINSON, for horse- stealing, received sentence of death, the Learned Judge holding out no hopes of mercy lo either of them.

The Cotton market was very steady last week, but in consequence of the request for export to France having subsided, the market lias since become ex- ceedingly heavy, and the prices rather lower. The Sugar market was somewhat heavy last week, but as regarded Muscovadoes the prices were not lower; humps however could be purchased under 78s, and Molasses were 28s. The deliveries last week 1800 casks more than the corresponding week of last year. The refined market was more firm to- day, and Lumps could not be purchased under 28s. — Mauritius Sugars were Is a is lower. The Coffee market was very heavy last week; St. Domingo nominally 5'£ s. a 53s, and the ordinary description of Jamaica and other British Planta- tion, was heavy at a reduction of 2, « . a 3s. per cwt. The market continues very dull to- day. There is but little demand for Ruin, but the holders being firm, proofs could not be purchased under Is Od. per old gallon.— Brandy is also held with more confidence.— There is nothing doing in Geneva. CORN- EXCHANGE, April 5. The dulness which we had occasion to notice the return of to our market on Monday, iras increased this morning, rather than otherwise, and the sup- plies in general were by no means large, excepting of oats. The demand for all grain ivas extremely languid, the few sales made in wheat and spring corn barely supporting our last quotations. Arrivals: English wheat, 1050 qrs. barley, 2250 qrs. oats, 5600 qrs. flour, 2000 sacks; Irish oats, 8850 qrs.

MICAU vi. 1, 2, 3. BY DR. DODDRIDGF: HEARftEN, ye hills ; ye mountains, hear ; JEHOVAH vindicates his laws ; Trembling in silence at his bar, Thou earth, attend thy Maker's cause. Israel, stand forth— present thy plea ; And charge the Almighty to his face ; ' Say, if his rules oppressive be ; Say, if defective be his grace. Eternal Judge, the action cease ; Our lips are seal'd in conscious shame: ' Tis ours, in sackcloth to confess. And thine, the sentence to proclaim. Ten thousand witnesses arise, Thy mercies, and our crimes appear, More than the stars that deck the skies, And all our dreadful guilt declare. How shall we come before thy face, And in thine awful presence bow ? What offerings can secure thy grace, Or calm the terrors of thy brow T Thousands of rams in vain might bleed ; Rivers of oil might blaze in vain ; Or the first- born's devoted head With horrid gore thine altar stain. But thy own Lamb, all- gracious God, Whom impious sinners dared to slay, Hath sovereign virtue in his blood, To purge the nation's guilt away. With humble faith to that we fly ; With that be Britain sprinkled o'er ; Trembling no more in dust we lie; And dread thy hand and bar no more THE LARK'S MORNING SONG, OMEIXAB. ( From Ttie Preston Chronicle.) HOW sweetly the moin hath expanded lij'r wing, And besprinkles the east with soft roseate light, Tlie earth she has gemm'd with bright dew- drops of Spring, And dispell'd the last lingering shadows of night. The first herald sun- beam that shoots up on high. To proclaim the approach of the bright king of day, Bids nie spring from the fresh verdant turf thro' the sky, To meet his first glance?, and ttine forth my lay. How sweet ' tis to soar ' roc . igst the young golden rays, And so hang o'er the lake's glassy bosotn below. To trace each meandering rill as it plays; By its blight line of silver, in fairy- like flow. Far and dear Is my root- woven lioine by yon stream- Which wanders embroider'd with wild flowers near, And whose crystal shines bright with the sun's morning beam, Though its far distant murmur is loston my ear. Resplendent and blooming, and fresh from repose. Sweet Nature's array'd her in tears and in smiles; The love- breathing zephyr sheds balm as it goes; And the bee's on the wing, and the ant's' at her toils. Oh break the soft bands- of voluptuous rest; Ye children of luxury, list to my voice. And re- echo my raptures from each grateful breast. Awake from your slumbers I ' arise, and rejoice. Preston, March IT, 1828. To the Editor of- the Lancaster Gazette. Si ay THE pecuniary difficulties with which almost every class of the community has had lo contend, daring tbe past Winter, have occupied so much attention, and have been BO fully DISEASED and elucidated, both in Parliament and elsewhere, that Ihe pnblic mind is sufficiently well- informed of tbe nature and causes of these embarassments, and appears lo be now prepared to tnrn its atten lion to the more important consideration of the best means of henling Ibe wounds which our trade and commerce have sustained, and of guarding again*! the recurrence or evils so momentous and extensive. I believe, Mr. Edilor, that, dnring this eventful period of disaster and dismay, there are few places which have suffered in Iheir credit and en pitat so severely as Lancaster. The failure of its only remaining Bank has greatly augmented the distress and difficulty peculiar to Ihe[ times: and great inconvenience is, in consequence, daily experienced in the petutHnry transactions of Ihe town. The urgent necessity - of some establish- ment being formed, for the accommodation of trade, is becoming every day more manifest, and unless some mode of facililaling Ihe transactions of tbe town be speedily ndopled, I am afraid very serious injury will be done to our manufac- turing and commercial interests. Besides, as Ihe dividends of Ihe public securities, unit other pay- ments, become due, the inconvenience, which is now so much complained of, wilt be felt still more extensively. Whilst, in common with the other inbnbiinnts of Lancaster, 1 feel grateful lo ( he worthy Gen- tleman who has so kindly suggested a remedy for our misfortunes in- Ihe establishment of a Branch of tlie Bank of England at- Lancaster, for Ihe interest wbicb he lakes in our affairs ; I must nevertheless acknowledge that, io my opinion, suck a measure is by no means the best llutl could have been devised ; arcd I trust thai my fello- w- tawnsmen will not hastily, nor without due consi- deration, commil tlienwlves- by the adoption of ifny mode of proceeding, however respectably brought forward, or howevsr ably advocated. The ne- cessity of a Bank of some sort being established in Lancaster, is universally acknowledged ; nnd the question f:> r our consideration appears simply lobe,— what description of Bank will lie most advantageous lo the town, nnd will combine the best security to its creditors, witli the greatest possible accommodation lo Ihie interests of trnde nnd commerce V Willi respect lo the old- fashioned Conntry Bank, there seems to be hut one opinion in Lan- caster ; and after what the kingdom has siiifered in supporting Ibe credit and welfare of litis species of money- dealer, it is not' likely lh « t nny atlempl will lie made lo inflict nnoMier of I hem upon us: for although it is generally acknowledged that the convulsion which has lutely shaken the com- mercial world originated in overtrading, and in « baneful spirit of speculation^ Ihe results of a rale of interest unnaturally reduced by a supera- bundant paper currency, yet it is no less certain, that the proximate cause of much of Ibe distress ruiiMtrtumateri » mi i iin— imil' Mm •• miiiinmii mi WHS Ibe unsoundness of many of the Country Bank*, and of the want of confldence which ensued on their failure, I do not, of course, menu by these observations, any disrespect to Ibe Banking Houses on the Northern frontier of the counly, whose punctuality, and highly honourable conduct, in these trying limes, have deservedly acquired the confidence of Ihe pnblic. There i » , however, another description of Bank, which has of late years become deservedly popular, nud w hich, I think, possesses every ad- vantage of security, with great power of accom- modating itself to the wants of trade : and I Irust that Ihe opportunity which is now offered lo the Inhabitants of Lancaster, of securing themselves for the future against Ihe disastrous consequences of I lie failure of Country Banks, will not be suffered lo pass away;— butt bat Iheir good sense and intelligence will be evinced by I lie formation of a Joint- Stock Banking Company, divided into a considerable number of Shares, and managed by a Committee of Directors, appointed by- the Pro- prietors themselves. A Company of this descrip- tion would not only lie of great advantage to ( lie public, but would, f conceive, atford lo Ihe Pro- prietors a more profitable return for their capital, nnd with less risque, than utmost any other sort of trade. In fact, Ihe danger of loss would be merely, imaginary, as Ihe Directors would not ( according to Ibe usual regulations of Shure Banks) make advances lo any peison whatever, without security being given to them, either by joint bonds, or good hills; or real mid tangible property of some kind being lodged in Iheir hands. In Scotland, where Banks of Ibis description have flourished for a century past, Ihe idea of tiny risque in becoming a partner hu « been long exploded, and shares of their stock cannot now be obtained without an exorbitant premium, amounting in some instances lo 200 ^ Cent.* Most of llie Banks pay Iheir Pro- prietors from 7 lo 10 Cent, interest, as the re- gulur rale ; besides dividing large sums of money amongst them from time lo lime, according to the amoiiut of each person's slock. These payments . are termed Bonuses, and are sometimes very con- siderable. The last Bonus divided by Ihe Com- mercial Banking Company, amounted lo 20 • If Cent, Nothing is, in my opinion, more likely than lhat the Shares of a Lancaster Joint- Slock Bank would bear a premium of 50 Cent, within three years of its commencing business. The trade of a Banker is so simple and safe, mid the profits so certain and regular, that a short time would suffice to convince the most incredulous llml a more secure investment of money could scarcely be found, nor one so certain of producing a handsome return. The numerous cases of insol- vency in Banking Concerns during the last four mouths prove nothing against Ibis position : the liberal manner in which their business was- con ducted, and the practice which so generally ob tabled amongst Itiem, of making advances to their customers, without requiring security, having nothing in common with Ihe strict principles and regulated distrust which the safety of Share Banks renders necessary. Some of the Batiks which have been unfortunate, Imve likewise been too closely connected with other branches of trade into which lliey have snlfered their capital to he diverted, and from which they were unable to extricate themselves in time to support their credit, during Ihe panic which overthrew so many of their fraternity, lint such a misapplication of capilal as this could nol take place in a Joint- Slock Bank. The Company is secured against any thing of the kind, by Ihe management being vested in a body of Directors, appointed by, and amenable lo, the Proprietors; and too numerous nnd respectable fur any mail who valued his cha- racter, or his seat in Ihe directorship, to attempt lo carry nny measure, injurious lo the interests, or nt variance with Ihe fundamental principles of the Company. I feel confident, Mr. Editor, that with a rich and powerful Bankiug Establishment of this kind, as a centre, our good old town will once more raise ils head ; and will feel itself in possession of a heart, whose pulsations send life and vigour into every ramification of its trnde and commerce. But a few words with respect lo a Branch of the Bank of England.

This was nn action brought by Mr. Anthony Ellis, of Liverpool, against Mr. George Forwood, one of the assist not overseers of that parish, to recover the unappropriated balance of a suin of money which had been placed in Ihe hands of the efendant, as mi indemnity lo Ihe parish for Ihe support of an illegitimate child which hud been ( filiated upon tlie plaintiff by one Deborah Finser, and which had since died. Mr. Starkie lated the facts, and relied upon Ihe undoubted law of the case for the recovery ofthe unexpected balance, as il had been completely decided thai ny bargain for a sum of money in gross, between the father of a child and Ihe parish, for Ihe exoueiulion of fhe former from aoy further claim from Ihe latter, was clearly illegal. Evidence was adduced ofthe bargain for £ 60 being made with Ibe overseer— of the death of llie child — and of only £ 3 It*. lOd. having been ex- pended upon it, including 20s. fur the funeral expense*.

MAXWELL ANO OTHERS V. NELSON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by Messrs. W. A and G. Maxwell, merchants, at Liverpool, against Mr. Jonathan Nelson, Ihe master and part owner of the brig Aurora, ami thirteen ' other persons, his partners in Ihe ownership, to recover the amount of loss (£ 1200 or upwards) sustained by the plaintiffs, in consequence of damage done to cargo of pot and pearl ashes on board the Aurora, which was injured in coming into dock nt Liverpool on tlie evening of the 2d of Dec. 1823, Ihe night preceding the memorable storm. Mr. Scarlett, in stating Ibe case, dwelt upon tbe hardship under which the plaintiff* had la- boured from the circumstance of the defendants not avowing Ihe ownership of the vessel. Before the plaintiffs could discover the names of the owners, for the purpo e of bringing this action, they had been obliged lo file a bill in Chancery, nnd nwuit the answers from the numerous part ners. The cause of action arose a* follows. On the morning of the day mentioned. Hie Aurora ar- rived from Quebec, laden with 481 barrels of ashes, and came to anchor in the river, being too late for getting into dock that tide. She bad a pilot on board. The captain went on shore daring the day to see his friends, and il would appear from Ihe evidence that he had probably been en- joying himself. Towards evening, Ihe atmos- phere, although line, presented such indications of nn approaching storm, that, coutrary to the ge- neral rule, it became advisable to dock the vessel that night. The captain sent four extra men on board to assist, and Ihe pilot, not thinking that number sufficient, sent for four more. The intler were, however, dismissed by tbe captain on bis arrival on board, where be assumed the command of Ihe vessel so far as to counteract the pilot's orders. On proceeding towards the dock the vessel had considerable impetus towards the pier, nnd it was requisite to do two things to prevent damage; first, to cine up the forelop sail, and lo dr.. p Ibe anchor. The Captain, however, inter- fered, bidding Ibe crew not to mind tbe pilot, and ordering Ihem to back Ihe sail Instead of clueing it ; be also forbade the droping of the auclior: Ihe vessel then struck against the pier ill the King's Dock Basin, and tbe anchor pierced the bow where it was suspended. Tbe water rustled into the vn- sel, and Ibe cargo was so damaged that, on being sold, the loss appeared, which waimtuted iu tbe declaration. The Under- writer* had paid ( be amount of that loss to Ihe plaintiff", but tbey had only done so oil condition that the present action should be tried ', and it was agreed that the precise amount of the verdict, if Ihe plaintiff's obtained one, should be settled out of court'. Several boatmen, nnd John Bark, the pilot, gave evidence of tbe captain's boisterous conduct iu counteracting the orders of tbe pilot,. nnil stated that, iu'lheir opinion, fhe damage wonld uot have been occasioned by Hie conflicting orders given by the captain and tbe pilot. During Ibe cross- examination of the pilot by Mr. Brougham, the Court was convulsed with laughter. The pilot's tenacity of bis professional reputation, his technical phrases, bis answering some of Mr. Brougham's questions by other ques- tions truly snilnr- like, and reproaching Ihe Learned Gentleman for not putting his questions properly ; all these, together with his fierce looks and violent gestures, forming a fine contrast to Mr. Brougham's immoveable and smiling placidity, afforded tbe greatest amusement. Mr. BVoughnm, for Ihe defendants, argued thai either Ihe damage, complained of, arose from accident* and that therefore his clients were not liable, or lhat it arose from unskilfnlness nnd ; neglcct, not on the pari of the captain, but of tbe pilot, whose duty it was to have catted and listwd tbe anchor while in the river. If that had been done, Ihe particular accident which had happened would have been avoided ; itnd he would'- prove that, if Ihe captain's order for backing fhe foresail bad been obeyed, Ihe vessel would have been prevented fromslrikiog the pier. The captain had done bis best for Ihe safety of llie ve « sel, and was perfectly sober. Several witnesses proved that the captain was sober, thongh, when on boord, be appeared angry; nnd that Ihe sail was clued iu obedience lo the pilot's orders. Tbe evidence, however, admitted of nn inference, that Ibe conflict of opinion about the clneing or backing the sail, had occasioned a momentary delay. The Intler, however, appeared lo the witnesses uinch Ihe belter mode. Mr. Scarlett, in reply, contended, that even if Ihe captain's advice had been the best possible, slill his interference, contrary to all practice, and nil right, when a pilot was on board, bad pro doced hesitation among the crew. They could not instantly decide which of two contrary orders the^ were lo obey ; and a moment's delay was snlllcient to cause tbe greatest mischief in such coses. Probably, if either the captain or the pilot had possessed Ibe uninterrupted command, the vessel would hnve heen** aved ; but, undoubtedly, the owtiers were liable to the coireeqnences of the former interfering with Ihe Intter. Verdict for the Plaintiffs.— Damages £ 2000; subject lo adjustment as proposed. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. All our agricultural operations have proceeded thus far in the season, with a full tide of activity and success, and equal promise of future pros- perity ; indeed, a fairer prospect of universal - plenty of the first necessaries has not been wit- nessed. The severity of the frost in the late season lasted just tony enough to rcduce the glebe lo the most friable and advantageous state, and lo destroy the insective ova ; the happy conse- quences of which have been, early spring culture I and exemption generally from the injuries other- wise to be expected from vermineous insects lo the roots and vegetation of the growing corn- Some complaints, indeed, we have of the grub and wireworm, but far more of damage from the superabundance of game. So early has been the season, and solaudibly expeditious the culti- vators, that, on the most forward soils, all the spring crops are in the ground, and in the best possible state, within the first, week of the present month; nor has any material impediment since occurred to affect the most backward, or which doubtless sowing the Lent corn will be finished equally early, as in the most favourable seasons : the rains, however, in the early part of Ihe month, have retarded business in some of the western counties. The present rough and old styled " March many weathers," with a portion of easterly winds, seems to argue well for a mikl and genial spring and warm summer. Wheat, on good and well manwred soils, is a thick and luxuriant plant; most encouraging indeed, proportionally, on all soils. In some counties. Kent particularly, they " sheep" their wheats ; that is, feed them down with sheep, in order to check their too great forward ness, which they suppose detractive from semination, and also to destroy weeds. We hare, indeed for merly seen in Kent a piece of wheat covered with both sheep and butlacks with this intent. In other districts the practice is highly condemned, and we think, on practical grounds, with sufficient reason. It is at any rate a most slovenly and unworkmanlike custom. We have seen however, in a former report, a condemnation of this practice, and the substitute proposed of harrow ing and drilling at nine inches, with a view of destroying the weeds ; fi drill by which we should suppose the weeds not likely to experience much disturbance, one in fact standing in very close relationship to broad casting. In certain dis- tricts, at this very late date, the introduction is noted of setting and drilling pease and beans; but the drilling of wheat and other corn seems not yet within contemplation. The early sown barleys hare sprung up with remarkable vigour, covering the land very thickly. Some of the beans and pease; the former, however, were not so early planted as in some seasons. Oats may be considered as the latest sown spring crop, being in hand in this vicinity at the present time. Should genial weather succeed the present chills, grass will be forward and abundant. Seeds and young clovers are good, but a considerable part of the winter tares were damaged by the frost. The early fruit blossoms have suffered in some degree from the rude visitings of the east wind, which have also slightly affected the colour of the wheat in high and exposed situations. The very necessary branch of planting forest trees has been attended to during the last winter in several counties, where coppices have been stubbed up or worn out. Yet timber and bark are a dull trade. The stoex of wheat in the country is very considerable, notwithstanding it holds price more firmly than any other article of produce. Farming leases are reported to have been taken last Michaelmas at a considerable advance of rent; the prudence or the reverse of which adventure may be shortly apparent. Winter grazing and feeding is said generally lo hare been a losing concern, which must then have chiefly originated in the high price of the stores, since the meat markets have surely, until of late, maintained a most respectable price. Stores have been yet held back for an advance, which obviously the times will not support.— The loss of turnips in consequence of the frost has been borne without any very heavy inconvenience, our other resources having been so ample. Lambing has commenced with general success, subject as usual to partial deductions. The country is full of a healthy live stock, with the most ample means for its support. The price of fat stock has suffered a considerable decline, particularly of bacon hogs. Horses, perhaps, of all descrip- tions, since our last, arc dearer. Corn has de- clined gradually and slowly, and will, in all probability, continue to do so, from causes en- tirety independent of the laic commercial embar- rassment.. The manufacturing labourers through- out the country are in circumstances oj far greater distress than those engaged in agriculture. The wool trade remains in a most inauspicious statu quo, both here and upon the continent; in both parts vast stocks remaining on hand. broad flounce of white blond en festoons; beneath this flounce is a full puckering of gauze, the colour of the dress. Long trans- parent sleeves of white tulle, with mancherons of violet satin, a la Perse, impart a pleasing liveliness to this beautiful dress. The corsage is a la Savigne. A dress of cornflower blue satin is also much in favour; this has two flounces of broad blond round the border— the one next the hem is set on very scanty; hut the upper one, which is placed at some distance, is full, and is caught up in festoons; the body is en garbe, and the sleeves arc of blue satin,, long-, and en gigot. A dress of pale pink Columbia is much worn in half- dress, with three flounces at the border; as is one of the date leaf coloured gros de Naples, trimmed in the same manner; these flounces are pointed u la Kandyck. The sleeves are en gigot, und are confined from the wrist, half way up to the elbow, by bands of silk. A rose- coloured dress of gros de Naples for the evening, is also much admired; it has a very broad puckering round the border, divided in the middle by a rouleau of satin ; on the puckering are points of satin, edged with a narrow rouleau heading; the body is « la Circassienne. The most approved colours are blue, rose- coloured,. lavender, drakes'- neck- green, and lilac. CHANCERY COMMISSION. The Report of the. Chancery Commission has been at length printed and issued frota the press. It is of course extremely voluminous. In the first place, we see that, on the 2( ith of April, 1825, his Majesty issued a Commission to Lords Eldon, Redesdak', anil Gifford, Sir John Leach, Sir Charles Wetherell, Dr. Lush- ington, and Messrs. Cox, Hart, Courtenay, Smith, Littledale, Merivaie, Tindal, and Beames, to inquire whether any, and what, alterations could be made in the practice of the Court of Chancery,, or in the offices of that Court, in the different stages of the proceedings from their commencement to their termination, by which expense and time might be abridged beneficially to the suitors ; and also to inquire whether any part of the business now subject to the jurisdiction of that Court could. be bene- ficially withdrawn from it, and committed to the jurisdiction of any other tribunals. It ap pears that all these Commissioners, with the exception of Lord Redsdale. who, we believe, was prevented by indisposition, and Mr. ( now Sir Joseph) LittlecUile, who has been occupied by judicial functions, entered into a minute in- vestigation of the matters directed bv the Com- mission, summoned several persons of high professional character before them, and gave notice, generally, to the legal profession, " that they would receive the evidence of every per- son tendering himself for that purpose. They examined fifty- three witnesses; they called for and received forty returns from persons officially connected with different departments of Chan- cery practice, and they held discussions among themselves on the several subjects under con- sideration. After indefatigable research, they were enabled, on the 29th of March last, to conclude a report of 31 folio pages, which, on the 7th nit. was presented in open Court to the Lord Chancellor, together with a paper of 28 pages, containing 188 distinct propositions, an explanatory paper of 50 pages, the parole evidence contained iti 501 pages, the official re- turns, in fi6 pages, and two other collections of papers, the printing of which is not yet com- pleted. Thus has been collected a mass of in- formation to which it would be difficult to find a parallel in the history of jurisprudence. The whole having been filed in Chancery, to be there kept upon record, was presented to his Majesty, and by the Royal command was laid before both Houses of Parliament.— The Com- missioners were not called upon to show liovv our legal system could be subverted, but how the administration of justice under it, might, in their opinion, be improved. After stating the nature and origin of the jurisdiction of Chancery as a Court of Equity, the additional burthen thrown on it by various Statutes in matters of bankruptcy, & c. and the othe. duties of the Lord Chancellor, the Commis- sioners gave it as their clear and unanimous opinion, that " the general plan upon which the proceedings in the equitable jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery are founded, is as well calculated as any system that could be devised to secure the sound administration of justice. But, though time is necessary, and necessary time is often called delay, yet, real delay ought, as much as possible, to be prevented ; and what we say of its necessary concomitant— expense, With u view to both these objects, the Com- missioners have considered the present rules of practice distinctly, and have suggested, in the 188 propositions; which is far too long and too tedious a task for us to undertake at present.

For the promenade, at this season of the year, nothing is reckoned so genteel as a large, plain black satin hat; to which may be added a small but full plume of feathers, which, when white, renders it an appropriate carriage hat, and if black, it is still fitted to a walking costume, though for morning it looks better when nnornamented. Carriage hats of the same shape, of white watered gros de Naples, are ornamented with flowers. We have seen, also, some coloured silk hats, with velvet bows of the same tint as the hat. Mantles of black, or dark brown satin, lined with ruby- coloured sarcenet, with a double pelerine cape of ruby satin, form the latest novelty for out- door costume. Ermine pelerines, or those of the fur from the grey American squirrel, are, however, when the weather is chill, the only covering worn over a high dress ; and often a rich cacliemire shawl, either of the square or scarf kind, is preferred. The favourite head- dress for the evening party is an antique toque of black velvet, pointed on the forehead, and in a form resem- bling a cornette. Round the ringlets next the face, drops a row of splendid pear- pearls, beaded by a row of oblong' pearls, slung close together. The crown is ornamented with elose scallops, of the same valuable materials ; and from each point of the scallops drops a pear- pearl. Esprit feathers, of white marabouts, or a plume of those feathers, falling over the left side, complete this head- dress. A dress cap, of etherial- blue gauze and white blond, is much in request; it has a very broad border of blond, which turns entirely up in front, on the right side, in the manner of a hat- dress. Double yellow jonquils, and sprigs of the tuberose, are placed in the most tasteful manner oil the hair, and amongst the ornamental points and windings of this elegant cap, giving to it the most charming finish ; long lappets of blond are attached to it, hut are seldom tied under the chin. The morning cornettes are trimmed with a triple border of blond, and are orna- mented with coloured sarcenet on the head- picce, in long puffs. An elegant evening dress of violet coloured satin has been much admired ; it lias one very MOREAU'S STATE OP BRITISH INDUSTRY.
