THURSDAY, JUNE 1. French Papers to the 2? th of May contain extracts from the Austrian and Trieste Observers, which state that Ibrahim Paella, after leaving a small garrison in the ruins of Missolonghi, and sending a force lo lake possession of the Island of Petala, had returned to the Morea, to turn his arms against Napoli di Romania, whilst the Turkish fleet was on ils way to blockade that city by sea. A division of Turkish frigates, is also said LOJ. have attacked the squadron under the command of Miaulis, and to have inflicted upon it considerabledadiage. The Austrian Observer has also accounts from Constantinople to the 26th of April, which re- assert that Colonel Fahvier failed in his attempt on Carytos in the island of Eubea. He is said to have succeeded in carrying the town, but to have lost so much time in vain efforts to take the citadel, as to have allowed Omer Paclia, Governor of Negropont, to surprise him with a large body of cavalry. The greater part of the corps which Fabvier had organised and disciplined with so much care, is said to have been destroyed, and the remains, consisting of 400 men, to have been picked up by a division of Greek vessels returning from the expedi- tion to Beirout in Syria, which is also represented to have failed. Many complaints are made against the activity of the Greek cruisers, who, as usual, are termed corsairs, and treated as such by the Austrians. It is even said that some of them have been burnt by our vessels. The French Deputies have rejected, by a large majority, the motion of Count Alexis de Noailles, for voting £ 300,000 to redeem the Christian wives, widows, and maidens, carried into slavery by the Turks and Egyptians.

The expenses for obtaining the Manchester and Liverpool Railway Act, from opposition' in the Com. mil Ices, during the last and present Session of Parlia- ment, amounted tn from £ 30,000 to £ 40,000. Last year, there were exported from Great Britain, goods, according to the official estimates, of the value of £ 53,335,514. lis. 2d.; of which value, £ 29,496,570 was in cotton goods; £ 5,925,574 in woollens; and £ 2,709,760 in linens. I. ieutenant Cook, R. N. has lately obtained a patent for a mode of stopping horses, when running away with the vehicle to which they tnay be attached. It is said, the contrivance is so extremely simple, that a lady or child may, with the greatest facility, apply its force against the power of the horses, thereby gradually and irresistibly arresting their progress until the strain is off the traces; when it will of itself cease to act, farther than by retaining them iu their then position, until the driver thinks fit to release them, which he can do in an instant without quitting his seat. Should the coachman require to leave the box, this invention will enable him readily, and most effectually, to prevent the possibility of* the horses starting off in his absence ; or should he be thrown from his seat, or fall off in a fit or from any other cause, a lady in her carriage has the power of stopping a pair or four horses with ease and certainty. A chariot and stanhope, completely fitted, are now on view ill Long- acre. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather in the morning, the assemblage to witness the ancient pageant at Coventry Show Fair, on Friday last, was as great as tin any similar occasion. The procession began to move soon after twelve o'clock, and Ihe weather being fine, a superb and interesting spectacle was presented to tbe public. Lady Godiva, towards the close of the procession, was completely overpoweietl with fatigue, and was obliged to descend from her charger before the procession reached its ultimate destination. It is computed that upwards of twenty thousand persons were present. Advices have been received at the Foreign Office from Constantinople, dated oil the 5th of May, an- nouncing the intelligence lliut the Turkish Govern- ment had acceded to the demands made on tbe part of Russia, ami had delivered to M. L) c Minziacky ou official note to that effect. The Porte, in confirma- tion of the sincerity of ils amicable dispositions, bad begun to carry into . effect Ihe requisite measures for completing the proposed arrangements. Orders were despatched for tbe evacuation of lite Principalities of Moldavia anil YValachia : and, on the 5th instant, tbe Servian Deputies, who had been kept in confinement, were released. Plenipotentiaries were, at the same time,, appointed to proceed to the frontiers, for the adjustment of the minor joints at issue; and M. De Minziacky had declared his satisfaction Et the con- clusion of the negociations. A more than ordinary degree of interest was ex- cited on Monday in tiie House of Lords, by the circumstance of a Respondent pleading his own cause. Mr. O'Reilly, the gentleman iu question, in apologis- ing to their Lordships for being under Ihe necessity of appearing before them in propria persona, slated that he had, " whilst still iti his uncle's arms," in- herited thesuit, out of which the present appeal arose ; and indeed tile suit must have enjoyed a tolerably reasonable share of longevity, for . Mr. O'Reilly's appearance was tha! of a man well stricken in years. He also slated that, although he had four decrees pronounced in his favour by the Irish Lord Chancellor, he had not been able, as yet, to reap the slightest benefit from them, owing to the litigious spirit of bis opponents. The Respondent was heard throughout by Iheir Lordships with great attention, antl con- vinced even some members of the legal profession, who were present, that itfemgh he was his own coun- sel, he had not " a fool forjiis client."

IT cannot be too generally known that in this distressing Complaint the GENUINE 11 AT EM AN'S PECTORAL DROPS have effected Cures when other means have entirely failed, as will appear by the following well- attested Case : — " A few years since I was afflicted with tbe Jaundice, atitl after trying several ineffectual means to obtain relief, I was advised to try ' DICKY'S BATEMAN'S DROPS,' by taking one spoonful of which at bed- lime I found myself surprisingly relieved, and after a few tloses the yellowness of the skin anil all olher unpleasant symp- tnnu went off, antl I became as well as ever, and have had no return of tbe complaint till lately, when by taking two or three tloses it second cure was effected.

On Wednesday, the Parliament was prorogued by Commission; GN which occasion the LOUD CHAN- CELLOR delivered the following Speech :— My Lords, and Gentlemen, " His Majesty commands us to inform yon, that the state of the public business enabling- His Majesty to close the session at a period of the year the most convenient for a General Election, it is His Majesty's intention to dissolve, without delay, the present Parliament, and to direct the issue of writs for the calling- of a new one. ; His Majesty cannot take leave of you without commanding us to express His Majesty's deep sense of the zeal and public spirit which you have con- stantly displayed in the discharg- e of your several important functions. u His Majesty particularly acknowledges the promptitude and discretion with which you have applied yourselves to the o. bjects specially recom- mended to 3? ou by His Majesty at the commencement of this session; and His Majesty confidently hopes that the good effect of your deliberations will b: manifested in the improved stability of public and private credit. " His Majesty has the satisfaction to inform you, that the distinguished skill, " bravery, and success with which the operations of the British arms, in the dominions of the king of Ava, have been carried on, have led to the signature, upon highly honour- able terms, of a preliminary treaty with that sovereign, which His Majesty has every reason to expect will be the foundation of a secure and per- manent Peace. " His Majesty further commands us to repeat to you, that Majesty's earnest endeavours have continued to be unremittingly exerted to prevent the breaking out of hostilities among nations, and to put an end to those which still unhappily exist, as well in America as in Europe. " Gentlemen ofthe Mouse of Commons, " His Majesty commands us to thank you for the provision which you have i& ade for the service of the year. " His Majesty's attention will be constantly directed to the reduction of the public expenditure in every degree that may be consistent with the due maintenance of the security, honour, ' and interests of his kingdom. " My Lords, and Gentlemen, " We are specially commanded to assure you, that His Majesty's paternal feelings have been deeply affected by the distresses which have pre- vailed among' the manufacturing classes of His Majesty's subjects, and by the exemplary patience with which those distresses have been generally borne. " His Majesty trusts that the causes out of which the partial stagnation of employment has arisen are, under the blessing of Providence, in a course of gradual abatement. " His Majesty is confident that your presence and example in your several counties will contribute to maintain and encourage the loyal and orderly spirit which pervades the great body of his people; and His Majesty relies upon your disposition to inculcate that harmony and mutual good- will among the several great interests of the country, upon which the common prosperity of them all essentially depends." Parliament was then prorogued, in the usual form, until the 14th of June. PITT JCIIUB. The triennial dinner of the Pitt Club was held on Mond ay, in the Merchant Taylors' Hall, Thread needle- street. Lord KENYON was in the Chair, sup- ported ou the right by Lords Eldon and Bat'hurst; and on the left by Lord Westmoreland, and other distin- guished individuals. The number present might amount to between 250 and 300. A hand of music was stationed in the orchestra over the entrance door, and opposite to il a considerable number of ladies made their appearance. After the cloth had heen removed, nnd the health of " His Majesty," of 44 The Duke of York and the Royal Family," had been drank, Lord KENYON rose to propose, the memory of Mr. Pitt. He began by observing, that lie felt an apology was due to the numerous sjnd highly respectable meet- ing, which had assembled to commemorate so great a man, for the station which he occupied. He begged leave to say, that it was with much regret that the task of presiding, on so gTeat an occasion, had not been committed to more worthy hands, lu proposing the toast which he was now about to give, it had been usual to preface it by selecting some particular circum stances in the character of that great man, whose memory they had met to celebrate. That individual was not one of the many who only presented one promi bent feature or characteristic trait— he was blessed with ihe most various endowments of genius, and, super- added lo them, a thousand qualities and virtues, every one of which would furnish abundant matter forenco mium ; but he should uot wander thus far— he should, simply confine himself to two, which, as they stood most prominent in his public character, were also the most lit for being brought lo the notice of the public. They were two which were particularly impressive, and which had been well expressed by tbe anonymous, but celebrated, author of the Pursuits of Literature — " With two choice gifts he well performed liis part, Transcendant talents and an honest heart." Every one must he aware that these eminent talents were particularly required at ihe period when he made his appearance in public life. When it was recollected w hat was ihe nature of the times, and what the talent's of those with whom he had to contend ( he need only imnie Fox and Sheridan)., and, above all, the em- incut individual from whom he sprung, and with whose matchless talents and virtues men would be apt to compare those of the sou— when, he said, al) these things were recollected, it. must he inferred that great talent was required, and that ihe individual who filled the situation did possess talent. But higl^ y as these talents might he valued, i'. was, from the irOT nature of our Constitution, impossible that they alone could have raised, or if they had raised, that ihey could have sustained him, if lo those talents he had not joined those qualities which alone can inspire a free people with confidence. It was well known that, at. an early as well as at a late period of his life, it was to his integrity that be owed the support he received from Parliament. It was to that honesty and singleness of heart, with which he was endowed", that be looked for support, aud it was owing to it that he not only met with that support, but became endeared to his Sovereign and his country. li was generally conceived, that persons who filled such high stations were actuated by one err other of those three great motives which influ- ence mankind— the love of wealth, the We of fame, or the love of power. As to the love of wealth, it was well known to all, from the circumstances in which he left this world, that it was not the ruling principle of his inind. With respect to fame, lie had often, as every one who knew any thing of his history, and the eventful period in which he lived, sacrificed his celebrity to the interests of his country. As to power, if the use which he made of it was considered, it must be agreed that he was little desirous of it for its own sake. When il was considered, how lie yielded, on many occasions, to the wishes of his Sovereign— even where his own personal inclinations would have led him to pursue a contrary line of conduct— he alluded particularly to the ease of his Right Rev. tutor, whom he, no doubt, was desirous of raising to the highest honours ofthe church — it must be evident, that he had no wish to use that power when ils exercise could hurt the feelings of others, or was not imperiously required by the interests of the country. With regard to public power, it had been established by the best possible authority, that no one more wil- lingly gave up a part of it, when circumstances ren- dered it proper. Again, it. was well known lo every one that il was the fondest wiih of hrs heart that this country should be in the best possible state with regard to its finances. Yet, when the circumstances of the country required it, he entered into a most arduous war—- a war, which undoubtedly saved ibis country from the revolution and madness which raged in another To conclude, he should only say of him what had been said by the great poet of this country, ofa man who had flourished centuries ago—" And to add greater honour to his name, he died fearing God'."—" The Memory of Mr. Pitt," was then drank in solemn silence. " The Army and Navy of the United Kingdom,' were next given, and was drank wiih immense up. plause. Lord KENYON observed, in rising to propose the next toast, that he could not refrain from expressing the gratification which he felt at finding such a sentiment in the list. He was rejoiced that the Chib had come to the determination of rescuing ii from the interpretations which had been put upon it. The toast to which he alluded was, " The House of Brunswick, and may it never forget the principles which seated it on the throne of Great Britain." This toast had hecu fre- quently brought forward as a proof that tbey ( meaning the. Pitt Club) did not appreciate properly ihe princi- ples of the British Constitution. What were the prin ciples which seated that family on the throne of thi kingdom? They were of a two- fold nature — first, for the security of religious liberty ; and, secondly, for that of civil liberty. Both were congenial to the hearts of Britons, and he should, therefore,- once more thank those who had drawn up the lists of toasts, for having admitted this one among them.—" The House of Brunswick, and may it never forget the principles which seated it on the throne of Great Britain," was received with immense applause. Lord KENYON hext proposed, as a corollary from the preceding toast— 44 Protestant Ascendancy," which was received with immense cheering, waving of handker- chief's, & o. . BH /^ WjP1 The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose " the Health of his Majesty's Ministers;" iu doing which he observed, that if there were no other reason for offering that testimony of their respect for the present Admiuisira- tion, it would he found in the fact, that the three Members of the Cabim t then present had been th<* personal friends and colleagues of the great statesman, himself, an, d deserved immortal, honours for having so faithfully trodden in his footsteps'; nnd, by a scrupulous observance of his principles, having carried the country through an arduous contest and ninny domestic diffi- culties. The toast was then drunk wiih three times three. Song— u Friends of my Youth." The LORD CHANCKI . LOR returned thanks, expressing the high sense he entertained of the honour, done to him and his colleagues, in hav ing ( heir healths • *. » cordially received by an assemblage so intelligent and respectable. Lord KENTON observed that, ns he had already given, the Memory of Mr. Pitt, and the healths of those" who had supported him, he should next beg leave, ns a necessary deduction from these toasts, to propose— May the .. principles ' of Mr. Pitt always be the princi- ples of Great Britain." The Earl < if WESTMORELAND next rose, and proposed ike health., o. f Lord Kenyon, which was drank with reat applause. Lord KENYON returned thanks, both , for the honour which had been done him by his friend,. and for the kind manner in which his health had, been received. Lord KENYON next " proposed the health of " th « Master, Wardens, and Company of Merchants, to whom they were indebted for the use of the Hall." Mr. BURBIDGE returned thanks. If, there was nny one public act more than, another,, on which he prided himself, it was that of having been one of the first who joined the Pitt Club. Lord KENYON next, proposed,, in a very neat and flattering speech, k< The Health of the Noble President of the Club, the Earl of Haiewood," which was drank with three times three. The Earl of HAREW. OOD, in returning, thanks, ex- pressed his gratification at the. number of times iu which he , had been honoured in ( he same way, not on his own account alone, but because it shewed that the princi- ples which lie professed, in common with that great man, whose memory they had met to celebrate^ still continued to animate those present. What were thu principles of Mr. Pitt? The question as to the present time was not easily answered; because circumstances arose in the course of iime, which would undoubtedly render a different line of policy, in accordance, ' how- ever, with the same principles, necessary ; but when he looked back lo the times iu which Mr. Pitt lived, ha could have no hesitation in saying that those principle* had saved the country, and that it was owing to thens that we possessed whatever of comfort and civilizutiott we now enjoy. Lord KENTO*, in proposing the next toast, said, that he was about to give the health of an eminent indivi- dual whom every one was bound to honour, and whom' every one regarded with the highest respect. At ih « earliest period of his public life he had . tbe honour to- be intimately connected with Mr. Pitt — in his arduous struggles lie was so also, and, during forty years that he had held different . situations, no one could anv that he had deviated from the principles of that great man.. During periods ofthe greatest difficulties iu which this country bad ever been engaged, if there was any onu man more thau another to whom the country owed it* safety, it was to him. When treason stalked abroad, and blasphemy lifted up its head, he -. stood forwaiJ against the torrent, and protected the constitution — it was ho who so discharged his duty that no one could { t. av. that he had either exceeded or come short of it. When he mentioned the name of Scott he was sure thai every one would agree with him, that his health was* one which all, who revered Ihe memory of Mr. Pitt would drink with the greatest applause. The health of the " Lord Chancellor" was then drank amidst loud and reiterated applause, wavitio of handkerchiefs, See. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to' return thanks, but was altogether inaudible for several minutes, both on account of the continued applause and the low tone of voice in which he spoke. He begged to assure thosw present that he felt more grateful for the honour which had been done him than he could well express, and hoped that they would excuse him if he did no! state all that he fell ou the occasion During the long period that he had held office, though he was conscious of man v " anils, he could assure them that he had eudeavouivd to discharge hits duty honestly to his country. It watf now twenty years- since thai great man, whose memory they were celebrating, but whose name would live for' ever, had sunk into the grave. From him he bad received Ihe greatest favour which a professional man could receive from any one — favour unbonght un- sought, unsolicited. He believed that there never was i man more attached to his country, or more anxious lo promote iu interests than he was, and he e. steemed it au honour to have been connected with such a man. It was in 1788 lhat he came into public life,, and in { 793 he was promoted still higher. Before that time, this country and France' were both in danger of revolution — » f revolution lhat. threatened to overturn every thin*- that was held sacred and valuable. The Revolution broke out iu France, and it was the opinion of ihht great man, that this country was thereby endangeied. The whole world were soon in arms against n's, and • » .) add to the calamity, the country was a prey to domestic enemies, who threatened to uproot and to over. tnrrt those great doctrines on which lite safety, of iHe empire depended. If into rival quiet had not at that period been maintained among us, we must have sunk under the attacks of our enemies. It was a part of his duty 10 lend his hand in maintaining that qu el, and so uneasy a part was it, that nothing could have rendered it endurable but the re fleet- ion that he wns doing his doty. Could any one. suppose thai it was any saiisfac- tion to him to prosecute those Who wished to disitjrb the public quie'l ?' No; it was to him a matter of great pain, though now of satisfaction — a satisfaction which sweetened his declining years, and which lie should carry with hini to the grave. It must be a satisfaction to those who longed after posthumous honour, to per- ceive, from this Assembly, that where it was ( it- served it was as readily bestowed. It was twenty \ ears M'UICJ Mr. Pill's death, yet his memory and his" principles were still dear to many. Il was his duty to advise hini on many occasions, and iu that way he became more intimately acquainted with his principles and feelings than he otherwise could have been. It was a principle in the British Constitution to secure civil liberty by all possible means, and that principle was carried so far that, utile ss it was suspended now and then, there was no possibility of enjoying it. There was but one other point on which he should observe ; it was to express his conviction that the connexion which subsisted between Church and Stale was for the benefit of every member of the community. ( Great applause. J At the period of the great revolution in this country civil liberty was made to depend upon tfie union between Church and Slate, not for the purpose of makiiio- tho Church political, but with the design of making the Stale religious, With reference to that .. establishment' his opinion was this, that toleration should be extended to the utmost limits that was consistent with the safrty of the Constitution. it could not with truth be asserted that Mr. Pitt ever went a greater length than that, and therefore there could he no inconsi- Tteircv in veneiatiug his memory, and at the same time supper ing that great principle in Our Constitution— the con.. nexion between Church aud Stale — of which Mr. Pin himself was the most distinguished advocate and sup- porter; for the world coirid not induce him to make any concession which would endanger theCoustiiuti.. u ti> the maintenance and preservation of which he devoted his life. The question then presented ilseif, how much could be conceded to the principles of toleration? On thai there existed differences of opi- nion,- and he was perfectly free to admit, that manv w ho . entertained views opposite to those which he deemed it a virtue to cherish, were actuated by a sincere desire lo avoid any step that might endanger the Constitution • but those, on the other baud, who, with him, were persuaded th al lurther concession would ho unsafe should frankly avow and stoutly and honestly maintaii' their principles. He was sure that, from what he / ctuio of ihe opinions of Mr. Pitt, there was nothing in i|., ,,, whh'h, fairly considered, should prevent hi* ( Lord Eldon's) sanctioning- any honour which might he paid to the memory of that great man. He couc'hided by proposing a toast, u Prosperity and Perpetuity to the Put Club." [ ISis Lordship, while speaking-,' was fre- quently iutenupted by bursts of the most t ulbu*, ia. » iiu applaiw. j, Lord KENYON said, that, after the discussions which' had la Ken pi ace in other quarters, he felt anxious give a toast which . was near to his heart, and which' was intimately connected with' the true interests, of iho country—" The Landed and Commercial Ji'jjeri'- six of the " Country— May they ever be united;" ^" Drank with great applause. The Noble Chairman then, left the room alo. no> wiifj the Earl of Westmoreland, the Lord Chance; So;. 6cc and the Meeting separated soon afterwards. LONDON— SATURDAY. Tbe I'rocliiinatiun foi ( be Dissolution of Parliament was issued yesterday, at. d appears in tbe Gazette of Ibis evening : it directs the Election of Ibe Commons of ( he Uoit. d Kingdom, making ( he writs returnable on 25th July. The following distinguished persons are, it is said, to he raised to the British Peerage:— Lord Balcarras, Mr. James Smart Wortley, Mr. Charles Rose Ellis, Mr. Duucombe, Sir J. Leicesier, Sir C. Stuart, Sir C. Long, Luid Northland, and Ihe Lady of Sir H. Halford. At Bow. si reef, on Thursday, Col. Camac charged a person named William Collins with having fraud u- Icntly obtained from him £ 1700 under the pretence of securing his ( llie Colonel's) return for ( lie Borough of JtJalun sbury I 1 lie prisoner, after a long examination, was remanded. A correspondent suggests, lhat the reason of Sir H. Halford not ' living made a peer is, that Ihe worthy Baronet dots not wish lo relinquish his profession, mill lhat il would be infra dignitatem for a 1' ecr lo feci pulses — Times. The " Imperial Foreign Wine Company" turns oui another bubble. A- capital of £ 250,000 was lo In raised iu 5000 shares of'£ 50 each. Ou inspection of the accounts ou Thursday it appeared that the total amount of deposits w ere only £ 2054, not withstanding which I lie Globe Tavern in Fleet street was taken at a rental of £ 500 per annum, and a" managing cleik engaged al £ 800. Instead of a large stork of wines, their daily supply vvas from a few wine- inerchauls, who remain behind Ihe scenes. A most excellent lode of Antimony ore has been lately discovered on ihe lands of Lord de Dunstan- ville, nt Eudelliou, Cornwall. This scarce mineral lias hitherto been found in that county principally on the contiguous laud of Eail Forlescue. THE CURRENCY.— The Reports of the Select Committees of both Mouses of . Parliament, " On the tiliile ofthe Circulation in Promissory Notes under the Yulue of Five Pounds, in Scntland and Ireland," have been published. They are very long.— With respect to ihe latler country, " neither of the Committees ex- press any very decided opinion upon the general question. They recommend the suppression of a practice now prevalent of issuing notes for fractional minis, and they repeat u suggestion thrown out by some of the witnesses, aud which appears to be a very reasonable one, iu favour of fixing the minimum value of ihe Paper Currency of Ireland, if Ihe principle adopted for England is to reach her at all, at a point somen hat lower than that to which Ihe Paper Currency « f England will lie permitted to descend. The Re- ports, however, as far as Scotland is concerned, may be considered decisive of the question. Upon the express and indispensable conditions, that means shall be found to restrain Ihe small paper currency of Scot- land from mixing w ith and deranging the circulation of England ; and that it shall not be found to produce a considerable increase of crime — with these essential reservations, both the Committees discourage any at- tempt to alter file existing system.— The witnesses examined were principally Gentlemen standing iu various relations lo some of the Hanks iu Scotland. Tbe circumstances which determined the opinion of the Committees, ore principally as follows: — lit. That since the first institution of Banking in Scotland', the present laws, as far as ihey relate to notes between the Sum of twenty shillings uud five pounds, have remained unaltered. 2d, That coincident with the present system, the prosperity of the country lias been great and pro. jfi'essive. Ed. That neither during ihe rebellions of 1715 nnd 1745, nor ilie mercantile crisis of 1793, 1796, and more recently of 1825, was Ihe confidence iu paper securities vu Scotland in any degree shaken. 41b. That for twenty yenrs previous to the Bank . restriction, the two countries were respectively in the precise situation in which they will now be placed by iliv alteration about to take plnve in the currency of England, supposing il not lo extend to Scotia, rd : und thai no practical inconveniences were found lo ensue. 5th. ' Unit the failures of Scoteh Banks have been extremely rare, and that no more than two instances have erer occurred, jo which the cieditors did not vitininlflj receive llio full principal and interest of their debts.

His having receiv- ed pny from under three Kings is a remarkable cir- cumstance : aad the amount of pension w hich he has received from Government, since his being discharged as unfit for service, is said to have bren £ 1,323. 2s. He retained his mental faculties, and even his eye- sight, until a few days before his decease. On the 30th ult. nt his house in Manchester, Mr. Edward Milne, aged 48. lie had only returned on the preceding evening from Buxton, where he had bfen much indisposed for a few days, in consequence of bathing immediately after his arrival. And in the evening of the same day, aged 45, Mr. William Milne, liis brother and partner, of effusion of blood on the brain, induced by extreme anxiety and distress. GENERAL ELECTION.— The Election of Members to represent this Borough in Parliament is fixed for Friday next.— The Day of Nomination for the County is next Tuesday, and the Election will take place on the Friday following. Addresses from the Candidates for the Counties of Salop, Montgomery, and Merioneth, and from those for the Boroughs of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, and Bishop's Castle, appear in our subsequent columns;. Mr. Lechmere Charlton opposes the late Members for Ludlow, where the Election commences on Friday next. Thomas Whit more, Esq. began to canvass the Electors of Bridgnorth on Monday last. MONTGOMERYSHIRE Fox HOUNDS—[ From Ni7nrod> s Sporting Tour.}— The Welsh country begins a few miles from Oswestry, but where it ends it is quite out of my power to say. I believe it extends over half the Principality, with part of Shrop- hir. e and Herefordshire to hoot. It has lately been hunted hy a gentleman of the name of Jones, of Maesmawr, near Welsh Pool, in Montgomeryshire, who, I believe, kept the hounds' entirely at his own expense. ! very much regretted not being able to see them, f but they were given up just before J went into Shropshire. i understood there was much Ancient British character about the whole turn- out, and in some respects it was quite unique. The huntsman and whipper- in were not only provided with shoes and nails, in case their horses should want them \ but, as a Welshman can never go long without moistening his| clay, and as ale is heavy car- riage, each was furnished with a small canteen of gin, to provide against the hour of need. At all events, we may say, this was doing the thing with spirit; and from all I have heard, a fox vvas never safe if the day was long enough, before the Montgomeryshire fox,-, hounds. At the recent London Eisteddfod and Cambrian Concert, the prize for the best English Essay 44 On the several Invasions of Britain, and their effects on the character and language of the inhabitants," was awarded to the Rev. William Prober!, of Walmsley, Lancashire; that for the best English Poem on " Owen Glyndwr" to Mr. J-' ohft Vaughan Lloyd, of Jesus College, Oxford, and the remuneration for the best Welsh Poem on the same subject, to Mr. Robert Davies, of Nantglyn.— The fust Medal for the VYelsh Essays 011 44 Courage," competed for by the Scholars of the Grammar Schools hi Wales, was awarded to Mr, Joseph Hughes, of Ystradmeiric School ; the second to Mr Samuel Roberts, of Newtown School, Montgomeryshire: and the third to Mr. John Joncs^ of Cardigan Grammar School. The crops of grass this year being very backward in Monmouthshire, from the want of rain, the gen tlemeu and farmers in the neighbourhood of Newport, have humanely and judiciously issued handbills, noti- fying to the labourers who annually frequent that part of the kingdom from the Principalit y, as ' mowers, that there will be no work for them until the middle of July. MELANCHOLY EFFECTS OF FURIOUS DRIVING On Tuesday, an inquest was held on the bodies of Mr. Robert Jenkins, of Malpaa Pill, near Newport, farmer, and his nephew, who were both killed be tween Crosycylog and the New Inn, 011 the Parity- pool road, that morning. They were going- to Pontypool with a waggon load of hay, having a young: horse in the team ; they met on their way a . man sealed in an empty- waggon, driving at a furious rate, at which their horses took fright aud ran away, and in endeavouring- to stop them both fell down, and the wheels passing- over their bodies, caused their death immediately.~ The driver ofthe waggon has been committed to Monmouth Gaol on the Coro- ner^ warrant, to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. DEATH OF LORD INGESTRE.— The mournful in- telligence of the death of this most exemplary young Nobleman has just reached England. Bis Lordship had been travelling on the continent for nearly two years ; and was, al the melancholy time when he met the truly lamentable accident which terminated his existence, riding on horseback in what is called the Park, in the neighbourhood of Vienna. Passing un- der a tree, his Lordship's hat was caught by a bough, and falling upon the spirited animal which carried him terrified the creature so much as lo cause him to start . off at full speed— nor did he stop until he had plunged himself and his noble rider into a pit or quag- mire, in which they were both suffocated.! His Lord- ship, the eldest son of Earl Talbot, was in the 24th year of his age ; and was possessed of those high endowmentsof understanding and those good qualities of heart which made him an object of universal esteem, and which gave a lustre to the distinctions of his birth and fortune. It is needless to add that the whole family is plunged into the deepest distress by this most disastrous event. A waggoner of the name of John Buttery, in the employ of Mr. Keatlev, cf Dodecote, was: killed in the principal street of Newport, in this countyj on Tuesday, whilst passing with his team through that town. He had been for a load of lime, and was ou his return home, when the unfortunate accident happened which terminated his existence iu a most sudden aud dreadful manner. Whilst in the act of whipping one of the horses, his foot caught against loose stone— be fell, and before he had time to raise himself, the wheels of the waggon passed over him, and occasioned his instantaneous death. M ANCHESTER, June 3.— We are happy in being enabled to say that the improvement in commercial affairs, which for the last few weeks we have had the piers'are of recording, still continues. In many sorts of goods and yarns there has been such an extension of the demand, that it now treads very closely on the heels of the supply. Tn calicoes, & c. for instance, the stocks in first hands have been regularly diminishing for some weeks, and we understand several spinning mill* in the neighbourhood of this town, which were working short time, have extended their hours of labour. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 2.— WC have this week had a very good demand for Cotton, and fully 12262 bags are sold at our quotations of this day week. The proposed New Bridge at Bathwick is con- tracted for by a gentleman of Shrewsbury, and the labourers commenced operations 011 Monday last. The vvhoie is exf^- ied to be completed in less than eighteen months.— JJhtk Herald. TO THE FREE & INDEPENDENT BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF SHREWSBURY. Gentlemen, SHREWSBURY, June 5th, 1820. H now finished my Canvass, 1 beg leave to return you my grateful acknowledg- ments for the ceru favourable reception I hare met until from you, and for the general promises cf support vsith which I have been honoured. My former Advertisement explained so fully my Parliamentary Conduct, that I will only now'add, that if by your kindness ! am again returned one if your Representatives in Parliament, I hope to attend to the duties of that situation with the same anxious care I have hitherto endeavoured fo do, and, if possible, with a deeper sense ofthe obligation conferred upon me. The Mayor having fixed FRIDAY, the Qth instant, as the Day of Election, I request the favour of your attendance at the Hustings. 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, PANTON CORBETT. MORAVIAN MISSIONS. Visiting Clergyman this week nt the infirmary, Ihe Rev. William Thomas : — House- Visitors, Mr. William Tompkins and Mr. Benjamin Rowdier. . Committed to our County Gaol, Edward Stokes, James lloss, nnd Hugh Davits, charged with feloniously breaking into the dwelling house of Joseph Honcyhorn, in Ihe parish of Hopton Wafers, and stealing thereout a silver watch and two silk handkerchiefs. Wc understand Bridgnorth Races are fixed for the second vveck in July. CBJUGE OF MTJRDER..— Friday last, an Inquest was held at Bridgnorth, before James Milner, Gent. Coroner, & a respectable Jury, on view of ihe body of a fine male bastard child, which was found smothered in n privy near Ihe Raven street, in that town It appeared in evidence, lhat the inhuman mother ( one Esther Dvos, a stranger, who hud resided a few mouths in Bridgnorth), had delivered herself, nnd destroyed Ihe child as above.— The Jury, nfter a short deliberation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Ihe said Esther Dyns, who stands committed under the Coroner's warrant to onr Couuty Gaol, to take her trial al ( lie next Assizes. GENERAL ELECTION.— Mr. R. H. Davis, after much difficulty, has been at length prevailed on to say, that if he is re- elected, he will ta/ ie his seal for Bristol; and so highly is he esteemed by all parties, that not the ( lightest doubt exists of his return, without being called on even to appear on the hustings. Kir. Bright's friends have also determined to secure his re- election in an equally independent manner.— Lord Deerhurst retires from the repre- sentation of Worcester, assigning as a reason, his election as Vice- Lieutenant of that county. Colonel Davies, and the new Candidate, Mr. Robinson, will, therefore be unopposed, unless the patriotic free- men of that city can procure their darling object, " a third man," in search of whom they are intently occupied— For Leominster, Lord Hotham and Sir J. Lubbock, the Old Members, and Mr. ISish, the Lottery Contractor, are the Candidates.— Mr. Wynd- ham Lewis has retired from Cardiff, - so that Lord James Stuart will walk over the course. STAFFORD ELECTION.— R. Benson, Esq. has got Ihe start of the other candidates for this Borough. He arrived here, accompanied by Major Hawkes, at about two o'clock in I he afternoon of yesterday, and was received by the burgesses wilh considerable en- thusiasm. In the course of the evening, he was drawn through the slreets of the town in his carriage— having previously delivered a short address from the u Bull Ring,'' and pledged himself lo speak al greater length later in the evening. After making the circuit of the town, attended by a large concourse of the burgesses and others, Mr, Benson spoke at very great length from the windows of the Swan. He observed that he looked back upon the vole he had given for the Corn Laws with perfect satisfaction- lie con- sidered it to have been one of the wisest of all legis- lative enactments: but what vvns wise and just, ut onetime, was not al another ; and he did not kuuw but Ihe time had now arrived when some alterations should lake place. On the subject of religious toler- ation, he said lie wished all seels and parties lo have ihe privilege of serving their Maker according lo their views; hut he pledged himself, should he be elected their representative, to do nothing in Par- liament which in his opinion would endanger the Protestant Establishment. Mr. Benson retired, pro- mising to commence his canvass iu the morning, and expressing hir. confident hope of final success. Mr. Ironmonger and Mr Campbell are expected down hourly .— Stafford Paper, Jur. c 3. Hunt is among the Somerset voters ; he does not appear to be received with much enthusiasm; il is generally understood that he has no hope of success, his only object being to put the silling members lo expense. In the mean time the friends of Mr. Dickinson . and Sir T. Lelhbridgc,. have not been inactive: arrangements have been made for bringing a sufficient number of voters to ihe poll at proper periods, so as to secure the return of the present Members with little or no expense to themselves. A coach proprietor of Exeter has agreed to supply Sir R. R. Vyvyan, one of the candidates for the county of Cornwall, with 100 horses and 10 stagc- coaches, for the conveyance of voters, from different pin Is of Ihe county, to L. ostw ithiel, " the place of poll. There is something rather anomalous in the con- duct of certain patriotic Peers. General Grosvenor, il is announced, has retired from the representation of Chester, to be succeeded hy the lion. R. Gros venor, who is gone out to Petersburgh in the suite of the Duke of Devonshire, Earl Grosvenor has now tico Members returned for Chester; his Lordship has also two for Shaftesbury, Mr. Ralph Leycester and Mr, Grosvenor; and now he has just put up two for Stockbridge, Gen. Grnsvetior and Mr. George Wilhra- ham, of Delamcre House, Cheshire. If this he not horonghmongering, and an attempt at a monopoly of borough icprcsenlation, we wonder what is! Mr. Wilbraham and Mr. Leycester are speaking members of Ihe Cheshire Whig Club. As belonging lo so patriotic a society, we wotidu- they would conde- scend to become tiie mere locum tenons of a Peer of ( he realm.— Morning Herald. It appears by an address from Mr. Stuart Wmlley, lhat that gentleman is about to be called to ( he House of Peers. Mr. Worlley, in his address lo the freeholders of Yorkshire, says, " On Saturday evening last, ! received an intimation of his Majesty's gtaei- ons internum lo call tne to the House of i\' or « . I assure von, upon my honour, that this distinguished uiark of my Sovereign's favour was not only unso- licited, lint entirely unexpected by me, up to ( he moment at which I received tbe intimation of il." INDEPENDENT ELECTORS.— A requisition hav- ing been made on the part of ( he Boston electors by Mr. F. Groom to Mr. S. Wells, stating that the num- ber of electors was 500, and that the whole expense would not exceed £ 3,000; Mr. Wells has replied, that he ' would rather work in a gravel- pit or endure the tread mill, than represent men who would sell themselves and their country for five guineas a head!' & SERMON will be Preached on SUN- L\ DAY EVENING, . June the llth, 1826, at SAINT AI. KWOND'S Church, by ( he Rev. H. OWEN, D. C. L. Rector of Beeeles and Endgate, and Vicar of Great lieddishani, Suffolk. The Church of the United Brethren ( or Moravians) has been fully recognized by Act of Parliament as " an Antient, Protestant, Episcopal Church." Their Missions among the Negroes, Hottentots, American Indians, and Greenlanders (. most of them being* in British Colonies) were commenced nearly a Century a^' o, and now consist of Thirty- six Stations, supplied by One Hundred and Eighty- six Missionaries, and Contain more than 38,000 Converts. In Consequence ofthe ruinous Effects of the War upon the Settlements of the Brethren on the Continent, and the unavoidable Increase of Expense in latter Years, the Missions may he said to be entirely dependent upon this Country for their Maintenance. The Annual Expenditure is about £ 10,000, but the Brethren can scarcely raise £ 2,000, which is not more than sufficient to maintain the decayed Missionaries, the Widows and Orphans, Many favourable Opportunities and urgent Invitations to extend the Missions are occurring in the W^ st Indies and elsewhere, of which the Brethren are unable to avail themselves for Want of Means. The London Association consists of Persons not connected with the Moravian Church, who, feeling the urgent Claim of these Establishments upon the Christian Benevolence of this Country, circulate Information respecting them, and assist tiie Brethren in providing the requisite ' Funds.

Gentlemen, gINCE last I appeared in Shrewsbury, you have had some time lo consider my preten- sions, and each day has added strength to my cause. Mistakes have been explained— misapprehensions removed— and a large majority seem agreed, that the Principles I prof ss, ( is a. moderate' and inde- pendent man, are rot ill fitted to a Period, when the best men of all Parties are vieing with each other in endeavours to clear away the Obscurity of our Laws, to remove Restraints upon Trade, and io improve the Condition of the People. I have again to thank you for a most cordial reception— my old friends are unchanged— and new ones join tne on every side: so surrounded 1 fear no Opponent, and wait without anxiety for the Day of Election ; I shall then have an opportunity of addressing you together, and 1 trust that the confidence, reposed in me whilst comparatively unknown, will never be repented when you hear my sentiments, and observe my conduct. I can safely affirxn, that I have not sought your favour for a selfish or a party purpose; but in hopes, hy conciliation, independence, and attention, to advance your true Interests.

My Principles you know : they are, as they ever have been, those of a firm friend to the Constitution in Church and State as by Luw established, because, I conceive, it secures to all that just portion of Civil and Religious Liberty, which is consistent with good order. To hand down this Noble Fabric to our Posterity, unimpaired by tyrannical Encroach- ment on the one hand or licentious Devastation on the other, as the Patriots of 1688 delivered it to us, is the earnest wish, and shall be the constant endeavour, of, Gentlemen, Your much obliged, sincere f riend, and most obedient servant, ROBERT WILLI AMES VAUGHAN.

Gentlemen, JT is my intention at the approaching Election to offer myself to your notice as a Candidate to represent you in Parliament. The length of time that my Family have lived among you, and the large Property I have within the Liberties of your Borough, might alone be deemed a sufficient reason for seeking such a dis- tinction; but I would rather rest my pretensions on the fearless and indiscriminate opposition Willi which I have, on all occasions, resisted any measures that were at variance with the real interests of the I'own. To do this, Gentlemen, I have opposed, and shall evntinue to oppose, any Influence that aims only at making the situation to which 1 aspire the stepping- stone to private aggrandisement, incompatible with ihe spirit of your Charters, the welfare of your Borough, and the Constitution of your Country. If I could suppose, Gentlemen, that private Interests or Gratifications could, warp you from four Duty, I am persuaded I should have little thance; but., in addressing a set of honest Men, who have a most important Duty io discharge, I tmtertain no doubt of ultimate success, because I am satisfied you will distinguish, as you are bound io do, between a Private Favour and a Public Trust. Should it be my lot to succeed in this object of my ambition, you will confider, I hope, the frank and independent style of this address as an earnest of my public conduct, and make the disinterested- ness of your choice an imperious obligation on me io watch over your Interests with the most unremit- ting diligence. Indeed, Gentlemen, I trust I shall have it in my power to say to you, as a revered Parent said to his Constituents when he was elected for a neighbouring City, and, like him, fulfil the Pledge—" Gentlemen, you have elected ma freely, " and I will serve you faithfully." I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble servant, LECHMEIiE CHARLTON. UworoRD, June 6th, 1826. TO THE Worthy and Independent Burgesses OF THR ANTIENT Borough of BISHOP'S CASTLE.

Like a good old sports- man, whose spirits revive at the crack of the whip and the sound of the horn, the'Squire was fond of recount ing the joys of his, youth, when the quickset hedge and the five- barred gate were no obstructions to his pursuits. To indulge in this pleasure he became Pre- sident of a Sporting Club, at Mr. Heath's, the White Hart and Silver Oar Tavern, in the city of Rochester, where, once a week, he was never known to fail attending. There he found the circle that approxi- mated to his fancy ; and he was wont to stay with his friends till a very late hour. Sometimes the ' Squire liad the sun to light him home to Frinsbury. , At his time of starting-, Old Trusty was brought to the door of the tavern, and his master being placed by the waiters on the horse's back, Old Trusty;\\ as left, unguided, to pursue his way. One morning- early, one of the arches of Rochester Bridge gave way, and left * o, most fright- ful chasm, impassible to any thing that had not wings. To assist the foot passengers, a nine- inch deal had been placed oyer the gap, and at each extremity a guide, with a lanthorn, to warn the stage drivers of the danger, and all such as might approach. It was in the depth of winter, and the morning particularly dark, and a slip of the foot might plunge the unwary into a gulph" little inferior to the deepest, fall of the tide at London Bridge.— The news of this disaster did not reach the White Hart Tavern till after day- light, when the landlord and family were dreadfully per- plexed for the fate of the ' Squire and poor Trusty; for ihey were possessed with a belief that the friendly pair must have been swallowed up in the vortex below. Paternoster, the waiter, was dispatched with ali speed to Frinsbury to learn their fate. Upon his arrival at Boghurst House, the ' Squire was made acquainted with the arrival of the waiter : 4< send him up," was the reply. When the messenger entered the ' Squire's chamber, having told his tale'of the fall ofthe arch, and all the miserable apprehensions of Heath and his family for their old friend, the waiter imprudently blundered out., to give weight to his narration, that the ' Squire was far gone in liquor when they set him on his horse. " Well, Pater," said Boghurst, ii give my respects to the good family, and tell them, though I was drunk, my Old Trusty was sober, and, as you see, he delivered me at home in safety." Search through the British Isles from shore to shore, Than this, what faithful servant could do more? Say not. the brute wants reason— nine in ten Exhibit more, than- proud uplifted men. Doubt not my truth, it has an honest source, I knew the master and his matchless horse. The singular incidents attached to the circumstance faertf these :— the guards had deserted their post— the plank thrown across the gap no more than nine inches over— the Medway roaring' beneath—- and not a light in the heavens— yet this Trusty creature encountered all impediments with his master on his back, and de- livered him at home in perfect safety.—- Sporting Magazine.

ELLESMERB, 1ST JUNE, 1826. TO THE PUBliIC. ,4 T the present Moment, when so many LjfiL Articles, necessary to the Comforts of the poorer Classes, are more or less liable to Taxation, it may surely be a Question, whether the Abolition of Lot- teries, by wbich the State was a Gainer of nearly Half a Million per Annum, be, or be not, a wise Measure ? ' Tis true, that, as they were formerly conducted, the System was fraught with some Evil. Insurances were allowed upon the . Fate of Numbers through pro- tracted Drawings, antf as the Insurances could be effected for very small Sums, those who could ill afford Loss imbibed a Spirit for Gambling, which the Legislature very wisely most effectually prevented, by adopting, in the Year 1809, the present improved Mode of deciding the whole Lottery in one Day. As it is at present conducted, the Lottery is a volun- tary Tax, contributed to only by those who can afford it, and collected without Trouble or Expense; one, by which many Branches of the Revenue are consider- ably aided, and by means of which Hundreds of Persons find Employment. The Wisdom of those who at this Time resign the Income produced by it, and add to the Number of the unemployed, may, as I have observed in a former Address, surely be questioned. Mr. Pittj whose Ability in Matters of Financial Arrangement few will question, and whose Morality was proverbial, would not, 1 am bold to say, have yielded to an Outcry against a Tax, the continuing Of which would have enabled him to let the Labourer drink his humble Beverage at a reduced Price* or the industrious, Artisan to pursue his Occupation by a cheaper Light. But we live in other Times,— in the Age of Improvement.!— To stake patrimonial Estates at Hazard or Ecart6 in the Purlieus of St.. James's is merely Amusement, hut to purchase] a Ticket in the Lottery, by means of which a Man may gain an Estate at a trifling . Risk, is— immoral ! — nay, within a few Hours of the Time I write, were not many of our Nobility and Senators, some of whom I dare say voted against Lotteries, assenibled betting Thousands upon a Horse Race ? In saying so much it mav be thought that I am somewhat presumptuous, or lliat I take a partial View of the Case. It is, however, my honest Opinion, abstracted from personal Considerations, that the Measure of abolishing Lotteries is an unwise one, and as such I give it to that Public, of whom I have been for many Years the highly- favoured Servant, and for whoso Patronage, though Lotteries cease, my Grati- tude will ever continue. As one of the Last Contractors, I have assisted in arranging a Scheme, tbe Approval of which by the Public. is hourly testified by the increasing Demand for tickets and Shares. It contains, and for the first Time fflwU a Scheme ever did, SIX Grand Prizes of TIII RT YTP+ IO, U SA. N I) POUNDS, nil Sterling Mo- ney. For the " SatV of . Citp. iti. icls-. pf that Amount my Offices have long been famed, for \ here were sold the fist, the last, and more than Half of'all that have ever been drawn. For ihe Sale of other Capitals my Offices are too well known to make it requisite for me to enumerate, or make any Remark, beyond a general one, that they are invariably successful, and of that the Public are fully aware, by the continued Prefer ence I have received for many Years. This Lottery being, as Parliament has resolved, The LAST that ever will be Drawn, is to he decided all in ONE DAY, 18th of JULY ( Next Month J. In a former Address I apprized the Public, that the Price of Tickets and Shares would rise after the. ' 27th ult.— it has risen, is rising, and will ei$ itinue to rise as the Drawing approaches.

One of the tireatest discoveries jet made in iiavi. gation litis transpired, anil the patent has been aban- doned in consequence of the technicalities of Ihe Patent I . awa. hree- fourths of the fuel uow used in steam navigatioii will he saved. The vapour of quick- silver Is substituted for steam, with similar machinery, aud a few precautions to prevent aiiy waste of Ihe metal by a pipe ou the safety valve. The bottom of the boiler, which is very small and strong, us com- pared with that now in use for producing steam, is conical, and the termination of the cone is in contact wilh Ihe burning coals which surround it. Their heat is communicated almost instantaneously to the quicksilver in the boiler, throwing it into vapour, at the temperature of 656 deg. of Fahrenheit. Sis elasti- city and power can be indefinitely increased by heat ; ami the greater the elasticity produced, the greater the vacuum in the cylinder on opening the valve com- municating with the well, The saving of stowage will be very considerable, and a ton of quicksi vor will be sufficient for propelling a vessel to India and back again wilh 140 horse power.

On Tuesday morning intelli- gence was brought to Manchester that the two Keands bad been seen on Friday evening at Sutton, between Colne and Skipton, by a person who knew them well, but w ho was not then aware, that they were charged with murder. This information bad scarcely been received when a letter arrived to the Magistrates of Manchester, from Sir Philip Musgrave, Bart, who resides in Westmoreland, and who at that time, we believe, was commanding the Westmoreland yeoman- ry, on permanent'duty at Appleby, announcing their A dreadful explosion took place within the last f,. w days at Whitefield Colliery, neSr tfmvcaMle- npou. lyne, by which forty men aud boys lost their live* A Coroner's mqaest was. held on Thursday, and l verdict ot accidental death returned opod all the sufferers.

We understand from good authority* that the the Directors of the Bank of England have at length come to the resolution of establishing a Branch Bank in this city— Gloucester Journal. The workmen in digging last week for the founda- tion of the abutment of the new bridge over the river Parrel?, at Buroughbridge, found lying on the clay, about 21 feet below the surface, and immediately under the peat stratum, a perfect stag's horn, wilh part of the skull attached. These animal remains corroborate a statement contained in fhe Chronicle of William of Malmesbury, in which he describes the adjacent Isle of Athelney: his words are—" Athelney is not an island of the sea, but is so inaccessible, on account of bogs and the inundations of the lakes, that it cannot be got at but iu a boat. It has a very large wood of alders, which harbours stags, wild goats, and other beasts." Now from these remains being found lying upon the clay, it may be reasonably inferred that the clay was anciently the true surface of this part of the country, aud that the thick bed of peat now reposing upon it, has been produced hy frequent and continued inundations, when llie sea flowed in from the neighbourhood of Weston Supet- Mare. OTTR. R- HUNTINO.— On Friday last, a party of gentlemen from Louth, mcl at the hospitable man- sion of Christopher Tajlor, Esq. of Tolhill, for the purpose of enjoying the diversion of otter, hunting. They commenced operation at the Holt above Witheru Mill, and pursuing their course up- wards on each side of the river, soon found evident traces of the recent visits of those enemies to the finny tribe which they were in quest of; aad it was thought that, through over haste, they missed an otter a few fields below Claythorpe- niill— but they at last succeeded in finding and killing two, about half a mile above Thoresby village, one ap- parently about three months old, and another full grown, weighing twenty- two pounds, whose plump and sleek condition gave every reason lo conclude that he had robbed the stream of many a noble fish. The same parly intend to meet at Calceby bridge on Friday next, at nine o'clock, and it ia hoped every gentleman who is interested, in preserving and promoting the breed of fish in the stream there will send one or two men, each furnished with a spade, pick- axe, or hatchet, as it is hut too evident there aie many otters thereabouts. It is to be la- mented that the breed of the olter hound is become nearly extinct ; only one dog of that sort could be procured on Ihe Occasion, and he came from Goulce- by— he is a nob'e animal. Every gentleman through whose estate a trout stream runs would do well to encourage the breed of the otter hound, and every lover of angling should expect permission to enjoy his favourite diversion only on condition that lie kept a dog of that description.— Lincoln Paper. A gouty old gentleman, hobbling over the long crossing of Waterloo place, was earnestly importuned by the female sweeper for a few halfpence. Finding her petition disregardedj she gave up the pursuit with a parting ejaculation— u God bless your honour ! 1 wish your heart was as tender as your feet.'* The shrewdness of this appeal drew at once a shilling from the pocket and a smile from the countenance of the old gentleman, notwithstanding the pain which Mr. Mac Adam's pebbles were inflicting upon him.

AN ACCOMPLISHED LADY.— Ail anxious mother wrote to her brother, an officer iti the army, to the following effect:— " MY DEAR BROTHER— I am in great distress for want of a governess for my daughters. As you go so much iuto the world, and see so great a variety of people, perhaps it may be in your power lo assist me. As we are out of the reach of masters, I require a person who is a perfect mistress of music, drawing, dancing, geography j writing, arithmetic, and French. She. must not only understand French grammatically, but- must he able to speak it correctly and elegantly. A knowledge of Italian would be a great recommenda- tion. Other essentials it is almost unnecessary to mention ; for, of course, she must be. a gentlewoman in her manners, well read, well- principled, and very g- ood tempered, fond of children, and not objecting to retirement; for we see very little Company, and Mr. and myself like to have our evenings to ourselves. I wish her to be about twenty- five.. The salary is"— See. .• . To this letter. Colonel replied as follows: " My DEAR SISTER,— I have received your letter, and should be very glad to render you any assistance in my power. In the present case, however, I cannot give you nny hopes of being serviceable to you. For many years I have been looking out for exactly SUQII a woman as you describe— hitherto, wholly in vam. I shall continue my search ; but should I be so fortu- nate as to succeed, I must, frankly tell you, that I shall not make the lady your governess, but my own w ife. I am, dear sister, your's most affectionately.'* the Coroner's warrant, attended by Blears the land lord, to identify the parties, set out for Appleby, where they learnt that the prisoners had been ap- prehended in the following manner:— A butcher residing at Kirkby Steven having got up about five o'clock in the morning, saw, passing his house, two strangers, who appeared to have walked a great distance, as they were evidently fatig- ued and foot- sore. About two hours afterwards he went to a barber's shop, and whilst there the constable of Kirkby Steven came in with . a handbill, which had been sent from Manchester, containing- a description of the persons of the Keauds, which he read. On hearing it, the batcher immediately said that it corre- sponded exactly with the men he had seen passing- his house about an hour before ; and as those persons appeared to have come a long way, he had no doubt that they were the men. Some conversation ensued about following them; and ai length the constable, and a publican, a very stout and resolute man, set out on horseback in pursuit of them, about three hours after they passed the butcher's shop. After they had gone some miles, the horse which the publican rode became unable to proceed, and he exchanged horses with the constable. The publican, then, pushed on, and when he got within about three miles of Appleby, saw them before him on the road, Alexander, the taller, walking first, nud Michael about fifty yards behind him. After scrutinizing their persons a little, and satisfying himself that they answered the descrip- tion in the hand- bill, he rode forward to the next public- house, where he dismounted, and waited the coming of Alexander, whom lie immediately accosted, " you seem to have walked a long way, sir. Will you take a glass of ale ?" Alexander gla'diy accepted'die offer, and they went together into the hous^ where the publican instantly seized him, and gave him into the custody of two men who were there, and wbrtm he had previously apprised of his intentions. lie then went out to wait for Michael ; but he had scarcely got , outside the door when, he heard the men in whose custody he had left Alexander exclaim, " he's off! he's off 1" The publican immediately turned round, when he met Alexander coming out of the door., and instantly felled him to the ground with a blow of his nst: and fortunate it was for himself that he was so prompt and decisive ; for Alexander had, at that time, a loaded pistol in his pocket, and there is little, doubt that he would have used it if lie had had an opportunity. As soon as he was secured a second time, and again handed over to the men with injunction to be more careful of him, the publican again went out to wait for Michael, who came up immediately. With him the publican did not make use df any stratagem, but seized him, at once by the collar: Michael, however, made a very desperate resistance. They were on the ground together several tunes, but the publican at. length overpowered him.. The prisoners were searched, and secured by lying them together with a rope, and were then conveyed in a chaise to Appleby, where they were examined, as stated in Sir P. Mitsgravc's letter.— After their exa- mination before Sir P. Musgrave, rhey were sent to prison, and confined separately until Tuesday evening, when they were put in the same apartment, and very soon after a quarrel arose between them, and they fought, but nobody heard the grounds of dispute. When Mr. Lavender and his party arrived at. Apple- by, they found Sir Philip Musgrave and William Atkinson, Esq. waiting their arrival, aud they imme- diately proceeded to the Court- house. When the prisoners were first brought up, they appeared per- fectly firm and composed; but when the landlord Blears was called in, their demeanour was very per- ceptibly changed. They both appeared much agi- tated, and especially Michael, who trembled excess- ively, and scarcely could support himself. Alexander was more firm, but seemed a good deal dismayed. Blears was for some time violently agitated, and could scarcely speak. When asked whether he knew the prisoners, he said, " certainly I do; they are the men who were at my house on the night of the murder, but that gentleman ( pointing at Michael) has got his whiskers shaved." In fact, both prisoners bad shaved off iheir whiskers, which, being very full and black before, were rather remarkable. Neither of Ihe pri- soners said a syllable in answer lo the evidenee of Blears, The necessary depositions were taken in writing ; nud the coroner's warrant being endorsed by the Magistrates, permitting its execution iu West- moreland, the prisoners were delivered into the charge of Chenille, the constable of Barton . — As the coach, by which they were conveyed, passed through the differ- ent towns and villages on the rood to Lancaster, a strong feeling of indignation and abhorrence was manilested towards the prisoners, by the people assembled to see Ihein pass. When they arrived at Lancaster, between ten and eleven o'clock in the evening, they found the market- place full of people, who were waiting the coming ofthe coach, end who, on its arrival, broke out. into the most ungovernable fury. They pressed on the prisoners oi> every side, threatening them with death ; and had il, not been for Ihe exertions of Mr. Norreysaud Mr. Lavender, would have torn thein to pieces. It was with the greatest difficulty that they got through the streets to ths Castle gates; the prisoners were greatly alarmed at this manifestation of feeling, and clung for protection to the constables, from whom, under Other circum- stances, they would have been glad to escape. They appeared extremely thankful when they entered the Castle, and the gates were closed against their pursuers. The Murder near Bedale.— On Friday, Ihe Coro- ner's Jury found a verdict of Wilful Murder against Leonard Wilkinson, a labouring man who hod cruelly destroyed Mr. Nicholas Curler, the farmer, as men- tioned iu our 4th pr. ge. When Wilkinson was about to be brought before the Court he fell inlo a lit, from the workings of his conscience; and afterwards he confessed lo being concerned in the dreadful deed, but implicated an Irishman. The latter part ofhis story is not believed. He pointed out a place where Mr. Carter's property, taken from him at the time of the murder, was hid ; and il has all been recovered.— Marmoduk(?[ Wyv11, Esq. the Mentha for York, seized the murderer himself, when alone, in a most spiritrd manner. upwards of £ 340, t) i) t).

APPLE TIIEES.— The White Blight, f - v become common in apple- trees, is occasioned by an insect scarcely discernible in its embryo state, enveloped to its bed of riowu; it is transparent, and full of glutinous matter resembling thick blood, which it appears to draw from the branch of the tree • and like many others of its tribe, has a corroding quality' reaching deep into the bark till it cuts ofl'the circu- lation ot the sap, and destroys the branch, and even the whole tree ii not prevented. The remedy is simple, and easy to bs applied : it requires no wash- ing or daubing-, which is sometimes as injurious , » the disease. What we see white is tike cobweb A stiff pamting: brusfi dexterously applied, as wa would to clear a room ofspiders, has a certain' effect • and it applied early it is easy. The writer of this had a garden, among others, which was so over- rua with those little creatures, that manv fine trees were killed, and his would have fared the same but by occasionally looking at them ( which being espaliers was easily done), and when a nest was discovered' immediately removing it, the tree was kept from injury. Last year, these animalculamade an inroad into a large orchard, and threatened great devasta- tion ( for orchards have been destroyed bv them) • but a man applying the brush, in one day cleared the whole. The fed glutinous matter which bursts from their bodies on the application of the brush seems to be the best wash and antidote that can b- j applied, It would be of service to the country ii' those who have leisure would watch the progress and growth of these insects: when matured '" they undoubtedly have wings, to pass the distance's they go. That they have wings has been discovered but not very intelligibly described. Liverpool and Manchester Railway. We make the following extracts from an interest!** has beeu issued by the late Committee • - I he Committee will now advert lo a consideration ot the tirst importance, namely, the probable rcv- uue to be derived from the traffic ou tile whole line; and to . enable every one, to form Iris jfidouient of the estimate submitted, a few explanatory observations will be necessary.- The present tonnage or quantity ot merchandize passing between Liverpool and Mau- chester, has been estimated ( by the canal evidence) at 1- 00 tons per day, reckoning 313 days in the year AMI It was proved before both Houses of Parliament that the trade of Liverpool had, since the year I? ti0 doubled ecerii twenty years. Ami with reference l„ Lotion— n very ,,„;„„• tsi. lt article in the Consideration ot the present question, that the trnde had doubled every ten years. It is submitted, therefore, that it will unt K...,..„;. I ,. » . • will not be considered an extravagant assumption to estimate the traffic between the two loans nl tha completion of the Railway; at 1500 tons per day especially as no Credit will be taken for ihe pro' gressive increase of trade beyond tlpit period If one- third of tlie 1500 tons be carried by the Railway at the tonnage rules allowed by the Act, an iueoing will be obtained of £ 50,000 per annum— Next ia importance to general merchandise, is Coal. The consumption of I j verpool and Manchester is estimated at one million of tons per annum, and w ill necessarily increase with the increasing trade mid population ef the two towns. The Railway passes through a rich and extensive coal field, capable of affording" au almost, unlimited supply. The Railway also passes over tw » extensive peat- mosses, abounding in turf to an incal- culable extent. A tonnage upon these articles to the extent of one- third the present quantity of coal con- sumed iu. the two'( owns, would produce a revenue of about.£ 20,000 per annum. And when we take into consideration the superior cheapness of the Railway conveyance, and the extended demand which may be expected from a reduction in price, the nbove. wili hardly be deemed ail extravagant computation.— Of1 coke, culm, manure, aud various descriptions of A » ri. cultural produce, a considerable tonnage may" be expected. And the tolls on cattle, sheep, nud pigs— the carnage of parcels, the tolls on heavy machinery aud other extraordinary articles of tonnage, are esiil mated to produce several thousand pounds per annum " Besides the above revenue, there is one which the Com in: I tee have the fullest assurance, will prove lucrative in a high degree, nain. lv,- ihe tolls passengers. About forty coaches pass daily between Liverpool arrd Manchester: most of ihesre coaches carry sixteen passenger,; lint if we take ten pas- sengers us the average uumber in each, nu have 400 passengers per day. Besides ihese, there are tha packet- boats to Manchester on the Leeds and Liver pool canal, and the steam- packets on the River Mer- sey, communicating with the canal packets at. Runcorn, and so on to Manchester, which conveyances'in the summer season carry manv hundred pas.' eng.- rs a dav between the two towns. Tiro hundred aud lii'ly pas- sengers a- rlay by the Railway, would produce a', income of £ 10, ti! ti) per annum .• and as it is the obvious tendency of additional facilities of locomotion nud especially of a cheaper mode of conveyance, to in- crease travelling, a revenue of double that annual may not unreasonably be anticipated from this source But Ihe several brai/ ehes of profit above enumerated are by no means the whole that may be confidently relied upon. The Committee have always looked t'., the populous 111! facturillg town of Bolton, as pro- mising a most important revenue lo the Coinprnr The Billion and Leigh Railway comes within leas than two miles of ihe Liverpool aiid Manchester Line. A junction may be speedily anticipated, which Will throw open a new and additional traffic to a very large extent, especially in general merchandise and pas- sengers, as the whole distance of the route Iron, Liverpool lo Bolton will be only twenty eight miles while the present line of coniuiuuicnlion by canal i,, VVignli, and then by laud carriage to Boliou is ft miles, and hy the Leigh Railway ami Leeds * Cana> 41 miles; the goods in bqth these latter cases being subject to removal from the waggvrs lo ihe h. iais and rice verm respectively.— In addition to Ihe ti'a'lia by the Bolton line, may also be expected some porlion o, the Yorkshire trade from Leeds anil the neighbour- ing districts, at present conveyed by tire circuitous line of the Leeds and LiverpoofCanal", but which Ilia " cheap and expeditious conveyance bv Railway from Manchester to Liverpool may induce the Yorkshire manufacturers to send in that direction. Another great article or traffic is Limestone, to which Canals'and Railways have hitherto been indebted for so large and profitable a tonnage. The quarries of Derbyshire sou. ply this article of very superior quality, to an un- limited extent. It is brought to Manchester at present in very large quantities; and from an estimate of prices ami quality, as compared with the Welsh Lime- stone, it may fairly be anticipated to prove a valuable item of tonnage oil the Liverpoal line. The precise income to he derived from these various sources the Committee do not determine ; but that it will be great and important, they do not doubt.— Before concluding this Report, tha Committee will say a few words upou the Loro motive Engine— a power'for the conveyance of goods aud passengers, which they look forward t » as oue highly advantageous both to the Company aud the Public. They have never doubted that the in. geiiniiy of the Country would he exerted to construct an efficient aud unobjectionable machine for this pur. pose; and they ure able to state, that they have at ready received a proposal from an Engineer of eminence to furnish an engine that shall comply wilh the clause* in the Act, compelling the consumption ol' smoke the engine proposed riot to be paid for, if it ,!„ llot answer the objects of the Company." LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY A meeting of this Company was held ou Monday at Liverpool, being the first general meeting held under Ihe net obtained in the present session of Parliament, Charles Lawrence, Esq. was rnll. d to the chair, win. made a short report of the proceedings of the com- mittee appointed to solicit the bill, and of the ex- penses incurred in the two' applications to P. irlimuent hy which It appeared that the sum of £ 33,000 !,;, s been expended, occasioned mainly hy the persever n ® Opposition of the canal interests, and that the expn se . incurred was nearly equal, or £ 1( 3,000 and a fracti, n", for each session.— The chairman slated that the e. t required fifteen directors, three of whom the Marqois of Stafford, 111 pursuance of Ibe art, hurl nominated viz.

We have within the last few days had the grati- fication of announcing that due attention is at length about to be directed to the ample and fertile field which Ireland offers for tbe improvement of its own state, in tbe means it affords for the employment of its redundant population and destitute peasantry; and we continue to receive the most valuable com- munications upon this important subject. V\ hatever topics of transient and immediate interest may occa- sionally Olid for a moment supersede, in the public mind, tbe discussion of subjects peculiarly connected with the condition of that part of tbe United Kingf dom, there is 110 class of subjects to be placed in permanent competition with them, either as a theme for the dispassionate politician, or as an incentive to the active efforts and the warm aspirations ofthe patriot and the philanthropist. The state of Ireland presents a political problem of no easy solution. With a population rapidly increasing, but yet not disproportionate to her surface, and slill very far from being commensurate with the natural fertility of her soil— with a popula- tion free from all the vices and defects which are elsewhere supposed to be the causcs of beggary and wretchedness— or rather, wa should say, distin- guished for all the opposite virtues, eminent for their activity, strength, courage, taleuf, and indus- try— not, indeed, possessing- abundant capital her- self, but amalgamated into political identity rather than united iu political connection with a country whose capital flow s to the most distant regions, aud maybe said, without exaggeration, to sustain the commerce of the Universe— does it not, we ask, appear unaccountable, that in those circumstances the peasantry of Ireland should, from tbe mere want of employment, be exposed to constant misery, and urged to frequent acts of outrage? An intelligent Irish writer gives the following brief but too accurate description of his country, which places clearly before us the melancholy contrast between her actual state and her natural capability :—" Our agricultural plans ( says he) are in general defective. We have very few permanent sources of occupation lor our peasantry beyond actual tillage, and in whole districts we have 110 manufacturing establish- ments. Although we possess Coal Mines, they are utiwrouglit. We have Iron Mines, inexhaustible, but we produce no iron. We have Mines of Lead, Tin, aud Copper, perhaps richer than are to be found in any other country, and still, so strange a fatality attends us, we have never yet had intelli- gent capitalists directing their attention to them. To a superficial observer, this state of tbe case must appear quite paradoxical. It is, however, no more strange than true. Our country, which ought to be, and might be, the brightest gem in the British erown, is practically unknown, while every other part of the world is ransacked with indefatigable research." It is impossible to suppose that this disposition can be wanting, either 011 tbe part of Englishmen or Irishmen, to resort to a field of industry for starving multitudes, so near, so inviting, and so unoccupied. The causes by which they have been hitherto deterred so effectually from doing- so, is one of the most curious,, as unquestionably it is oue of the most interesting subjects of political investigation. Those causes cannot have been altogether imaginary, but we believe them to have been greatly exaggerated. Without attempting, at tbe present moment, to enumerate or to weigh them, • we are rejoiced to express our conviction that many of thein exist 110 longer, and that those which do remain are ill very mitigated force. Our opinion upon this subject is, we believe, also rapidly diffus- ing itself, and wiil ere long become general. When it bus become so, to which consummation we shall Zealously, however, feebly contribute, tlie greatest obstruction will have beeu removed to tbe pro- sperity, the peace, and tbe happiness of Ireland. Ireland will then begin to resemble her fostering and protecting sister, from whom she now so lamentably differs. Constant and regular employ- ment will diffuse among her population the benefits of, and the attachment to, steady and habitual indus- try. In tbe train of industry will follow tranquil- lity, contentment, and good order. As her wealth accumulates, her arts will flourish. The virtues and the comforts of humble life will shed their cheerful blessings upon her vallii s and her hills, and add a lustre to the present magnificence of her costly public buildings and i. umerous gorgeous palaces. In national wealth and power, in general happiness tind virtue, ill the full development of her genius and character, she will become that for which nature has obviously designed her,— the most splen- did and valuable gem of the British Crown!— Morning Post. EFFECTS OF MA CHIN EH Y. It has frequently occurred in the history of our manufactures, that the abstract annihilation of the labour of one individual has had the effect of setting- two men to work in his place, each receiving' twice the reward he usually enjoyed, besides a third per son acquiring an income, ( corresponding to that which oue of them at least possessed,) as a remuner- ation for the use of his capital; and at the same time disposing' of the articles produced at one- half, and often at one- fourth of the price. It ought ever to be recollected that fresh desires are generated in pro portion us public wealth augments, and always call into use new productions of exquisite workmanship. The multiplication ofthe fine- arts in this country, of mechanical instruments applied to chronological and astronomical purposes, of a variety of articles used for the embellishment and convenience of our dwell- ings, together with dress, equipage, & c. all tend to shew that there is little to fear from a want of de- mand for labour, while there are sufficient funds to make it a recompense ; and a large surface of those funds is freely exposed to a great body of spend- thrifts. There is nothing to be dreaded from the introduction ofthe power- loom. In India alone, a jlopulatiou of 100,000,000 requires to be clothed by us, as soon as the cheapness of our cotton manufac- tures is sufficient to break down their prejudice In return for this clothing, India has an abundance of productions, which we shall demand of her as Boon as we are enabled to effect a free interchange of commodities, by having acquired those greater powers of production to which the power- loom directly leads. Cheapness of production, whether it be acquired hy improved mechanical powers, or by a readier mode of accomplishing a particular object, seldom has the effect of diminishing the demand for labour; & ince cheapness occasions use, and leads to the adoption of more exquisite workmanship, which may even be more expensive than that in use prior to the improvement of machinery. We shall attempt to illustrate this opinion by facts. Fenders are manufactured by the application of from 10to40per cent, less labour than they were ten years ago The formation ofthe roll alone, which frequently required the labour of from 6 to 10 hours, is now per- formed by the single stroke of a powerful pressure; Y/ hile other branches of their manufacture are accom- plished by one- tenth of the labour formerly bestowed But this article being sold at a proportionally lower rate, green fenders are now used where none at all were formerly used, and brass ones are bought by those who formerly laid out their money in green fenders : and so far has this cheapness of production been from injuring the trade, that the people of this country expend at least 50 per cent, more money in fenders now than they did prior to this adoption of improved machinery; while capital works so much more extensively than immediate labour, the wages of tht © ue have b « en converted into the profits ofthe F- XTRACTS FROM THE SPORTING MAGAZISB. After the blank day with Sir Bellinghaui Graham, Mr„ My. tton and myself met a party at dinner at Pi a doe, the seat of my very old friend, the Honourable Thomas Kenyon. Of Mr. Kenyon 1 have spoken before— not as a sportsman, for he never hunts, but as a coachman of tlie first rank, and one of our very best supporters of . the road and lire coach box. i\ lr. Annesley himself has not been more constant to them than he has; and he is one of the few that I know of, who have never been without teams in their stables since they came of age and were enabled to keep them. The circumstance of Mr. Ken- yon ( with the exception of a little shooting) being no sportsman, has enabled him to enjoy the pleasures of the road with less interruption than if he had divided his pursuits. So systematic, indeed, is he in his favourite pastime, that— wilh the exception of his being on a visit to his friends— his horses are put to, four days iu the weekyexactly as the cluck strikes eleven in the forenoon, aiid lie drives his coach to Shrewsbury, into the yard at the Lion Inn— the distance fourteen miles, which he does in an hour and thirty- five minutes. Mere his horses are taken off; his coat and whip hung up in the coach office ;• and he remains in the town till the clock strikes three. At this hour — to a moment — his team is put to, and he leaves the. yard about a minute before the (.' luster and Holyhead mails. The latter coach » nes his road ; but he keeps the lead till he turns into lib own Lodge gate,. which is by the turn pike road aide. This is npt all. So well are his work ing days known in the country, that several of hi neighbours Wait him on the road, and avail themselves of a ride to Shrewsbury. His Coach carries nearly as many outsides as the regular stages, but is very neat in ris appearance, and built in the same form as gentle- men's four- horse coaches generally are. When I was at Pradoe, at the time 5 have been speak- ing of, rVlr. Kenyon had only eight coach horses at work, three of them being' in London;- but he has always bad tww regular teams, with two, and sometimes three, spare horses. His work, indeed,- req- nires' a strong stable; for, exclusive of his regular journeys to Shrewsbury and back, he very frequently goes con- siderable distances on other roads. If a' party of his friends want fo go to Birmingham, Chester, Liverpool, or Wales, they have nothing- to do but to signify their intentions to him, and his coach- conveys them. Here, then, is an advantage attending a turn for the road, highly gratifying to a liberal' mind. It enables a man to distribute amongst his friends part of that pleasure which he receives from it himself. Having, however,- before expatiated on the kind disposition of my friend, 1 must not begin again ; but as a similarity of taste inspires regard, i must add to his account one virtue, which, if we believe a certain book, will stick to him for ever— he is the poor man's fiend. There is a coachman of the name of Win. Williams, on the Shrewsbury and Chester Highflyer coach, ( better known by the name of Chester Billy,) of w hom 1 have spoken before; and to whom, in. consideration of nearly tliiity years' honest servitude on the same coach, Mr. Kenyan hits been a staunch friend. A few years hack, wishing to shew him a little of the world— he took him with him to London on his coach ; and among other lions told him he would^ hew him a coach that changed In rses in one minute, hoping he would profit by it when he got back to the Highflyer. For this, purpose Billy was conveyed to Houuslow to await the arrival of the Southampton Telegraph. Just as the coach was ex- pected, Billy addressed Mr. Kenyon, and asked him if he thought he might step across the way to a barber's shop, and get shaved, " Perhaps you may," replied Mr, Kenyon, " hut you must be sharp." No sooner, however, was Billy's face well lathered, and the barber had begun to operate, than" up drove the Telegraph; and what was to be done ? Why Billy, determined not to lose the sight, came out into fhe street with half his face lathered and the other half shaved ; aud saw wha he had only heard of before, and no doubt, did not consider possible. I hinted in my last lhat I should say something of the Shropshire riders. Of the crack man, Mr. Lyster, of RoVfion Castle, 3 have already spoken, and hi; brother John is bard and determined, but not so much nt ease on his horse, or so quick. 3 do not include Mr George Forester among the Shropshiie sportsmen, o of course be would have a front place; but he is work in better countries ; as also is Mr. Biridulph, of Chirk Castle, a very good young one, who hunts with Lord Anson._ Mr. Henry Peilding likewise can only be called a visitor; but when out, he goes well. M Lloyd, of As tori,, is very difficult to beat over Shroj shire. He knows the country perfectly, and goes at good pace over if. Mr. Henry Montague, of th Guards, was on a visit to Mr. LLoyd, of Domgay, when I was in the country, and having heard a good deal of him as a workman, I was pleased wilh the opportunity of seeing him. He is n powerful horseman, with fine hand and nerve, aud I know no man whom 1 would sooner mount upon a young horse— that is to say, if he were a pretty good one ; if not, he would he but in bad hands, as his pace is quick. Mr. Henry LLoy d, brother to Mr. LLoyd, of Domgay, is a very fair performer. He puts his horses well a! their fences, and is by no means afraid of them. There are two professional gentlemen iu Shrewsbury, who will charge as large a fence as most people. One is Counsellor Slaney, and the other Mr. Wynne, a surgeon in great practice. These are two useful men iu the field ; for, m case of au accident, if the Doctor cannot save you, the lawyer may make your will. Mr. Wynne is esteemed an excellent, judge of horses, and has bred and sold some good ones. He rides hard and heavy, therefore the secret— good or bad— soon comes out. He is, however, a great lover of hunting, and for that and other reasons much respected in Shropshire. Mr. Sniythe Owen, the future master of the fox- hounds, is a pretty, gentleman- like rider, and his horses are of a good stamp, and generally fit to go. Among the . young ones, Mr. John Hill ( brother to Sir Bow land) stands first and first; and if he had a good stable of hordes, would shew most of them the trick. He is, however, well bred to ride. His father was as good a spoilsman as ever got. upon a horse— add to which, he is a grandson of the old Sir John, w ho was game to the back- hone. Mr. Rock I have before spoken of, as a thrusting young one: and the heir- apparent to Wood house ( Mr. Owen), and Mr. Kynas- toii ( son of Sir Edward), trained . on very much while I was in the country. Two of the young Corbets, of Sundorn, also ( one at Eton, the other in the Navy,) promise very fairly. Of Mr. Mytton, as a rider, I need not say much, for he is as well known as the horse at Charing. cross. Strength will be served ; aud few men make more of a hunter than he does over a strong and deep country. As a proof of this, his horses scarcely ever stop with him, though he is not particular as to his ground or pace ; and as to fences, there are times when the larger they are the better lie likes them. Tbe time of day, " tow- ever, does not operate only upon him. My old nd, Sir Edward Smythe, is a much better man after luncheon than lie is before ; and I know no one who loes more credit to a little jumping powder than he loes. I have seen the time when I would back him to leap five. barred gates with any man in England. Although not exactly connected with Shropshire, yet i a rider very well known iu that part of the country, cannot pafs over a very old friend of mine, because' I think he excels in the art I have been speaking of. When first l knew this gentleman his name was Lloyd Kenyon— first cousin to Mr. Kenyon, of Pradoe ; then, by an acquisition of fortune, it was Lloyd Lloyd ; and now, by another turn ofthe wheel, it is Lloyd Williams. This reminds me of Foote's celebrated motto on his carriage—•" Iterurn, iteriim, iterumque.' n There are some, however, whom fortune cannot spoil, and my friend is one of them, for no man can he more esteemed than he is. Mr. Lloyd Williams resides within easy reach of Sir Richard Puleston's and Sir Walkin's hounds, and he can occasionally reach the Cheshire; but he has been, for several seasons, an attendant on Sir Thos. Mostyn's hounds in Oxfordshire. 1 do not mean to say that my friend was ever a Tom Sjnitb, or a Holyoake*; but this I will say of him ( and he has always kept a good place wilh hounds), that w hat he does, he does well. He has ; i particular neat seat; his horse is always well saddled and bridled ; and from the sole of his boot to the crown of his hat, he is dressed like a spoilsman and a gentle- man. There is another gentleman iu this part of the world worthy of notice. His name is Newton, of Pick Hall, near Wrexham. Though a great weight, he makes a capital fight over a country ; but I remember ftttoriU& nfOtig Intelligence A beautiful black swan, in the gardens of his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, at Stowe, had its wing broken lately, by some person throwing a stick or stone at it, and one of the statues there has been wantonly thrown from its pedestal and broken. Every one who has visited this " fair, majestic, paradise," and experienced the civility which i « always found there, cannot but regret that its noble owner should be so ungratefully repaid for allowing free access to the public to view his mausioii and domains. We could wish that our countrymen would imitate the conduct of our French neighbours in this matter. Noblemen and gentlemen in that country are scarcely ever repaid for their courtesy in allowing the public to view their mansions or curious objects of art or nature, by the wanton demolition of them. In England, and while we state it we regret that the observation is true, whenever liberal men allow the public to view such objects, they are almost invariably requited for so doing by wanton and causeless mischief committed upon them by the visitors. MEDICAL STAFF OF LONDON AND PARIS.— At the end of last year, the number of physicians who practised in London amounted in all to 174— which number, as compared to the amount of population, allows only one physician for 7,000 inhabitants. The number of our surgeons who practised in this metropolis at the same time, is stated at 1000 ; the number of apothecaries at 2000; and that of che- mists and druggists at 300. Thus the medical staff of London would amount to 3,474, of which the number of physicians would only be as 1 to 18. In Paris the proportion is widely different. In that capi- tal the number of physicians is GOG— that of surgeons 128, and that of apothecaries 181. Thus in Paris the class of physicians, instead of being to the other branches of the profession as one to 18, is uearly five times as numerous as the surgeons, more than three times as numerous as the apothecaries, and twice as numerous as both. The first remark that strikes us as the result of this statistical account, is the amazing' difference between the medical corps in Paris and London compared in both cases with the number of inhabitants. In this city we have 3,474 medical practitioners of various descriptions to take charge of the health of 1,200,000 inhabitants; in Paris, 900 practitioners do the same office for 800,000 people; being in the former case as one to 345, and in- the latter as one to 900. With such extraordinary medical assistance In this metropolis, if would Be rather singular if many of us were to die natural de;*' i. The thing is truly appalling- f Only think of uearly 4000 regular physicians, sur- geons, apothecaries, and druggists,— without includ- ing irregular troops of corn- doctors, horse- doctors, tooth- doctors, and quack- doefors- Met loose upon us every day, to the imminent danger of our lives or liberties, cur persons, or ouf purses'. There ir no wonder that our bills of mortality are longer than our other bills. Taking the number of deaths i'n this metropolis at the annua! average of 30,000, only about seven persons and a half are left to be dig- patched by one practitioner 1 •—' Times. THE IRISH NEGRO.— A negro from Montezerat, or Marig- alente, where the Hiberno- Celtic is spoken by all classes, happened to be on the wharf at Philadelphia when a number of Irish emigrants were landed; and seeing one of them with a wife and four children, he stepped forward to assist the family on shore. The Irishman, in his native tongue, expressed his surprise at the civility of the negro ; who, understanding what had been said, replied in Irish, that he need not be astonished, for that lie Was a bit of an Irishman himself The liishman surprised to hear a black man speak his Milesian dialect, it entered his mind with the usual rapidity of Irish fancy, that he really was an Irish- man, but that the climate bad changed his fair com- plexion. " If I may be so bold, my dear honey," said he, " may 1 ash how long yon have been in this country The negro man, who had only come hither on a voyage, said he had been in Philadelphia only about four months. Poor Pat turned round to his wife and children, and looking as if for the last time on their rosy cheeks, concluding that in four months they must also change their complexion, exclaimed, " O merciful powers! Biddy, did you hear that? he has not been more than four months in this country, and he is already almost as black as jet." DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.'— DorchesterMay 28. — A melancholy event occurred yesterday, which has created a strong sensation, and excited a general feeling of sympathy and regret. As Keith Fraser, Esq. ofthe 6th Enniskillen Dragoons ( brother of Sir William Fraser, Bart, and of Major Fraser, 7th Hussars), accompanied by Lieut.- Co Ion el Keene and Capt. Portman, ofthe same regiment, was riding on the Downs, at Bincombe, near this town, his horse, a valuable, although a vicious animal, ran off at full j speed, and reaching* the summit of a high hill, which on the other side was nearly perpendicular, plunged forward, when both were . precipitated to the bottom, a height of nearly 200 feet. Ou the arrival of Colonel Keene and Capt. Portman at the spot, they found the unfortunate gentleman lying* in a senseless state. Medical assistance being pro- cured as promptly as possible, Mr. Fraser was con- veyed on a litter to the Barracks. He lingered in a state of utter insensibility till two o'clock this morning, when he expired. By the tall the horse's back was broken, and he was of necessity killed oil the ground.— Mr. Eraser was in his 22d year, and had only in the course of the morning received a notification of his promotion to a Lieutenancy. He was a schoolfellow and friend of Lord A. Paget, ofthe 7th Hussars, whose death we anuounc; da short time back, under somewhat similar circum- stances. He was a young man of much promise, and highly respected and beloved by his brother officers. DEATH BY A WOUND FROM A LIONESS.— On Thursday, the 20th ult. an inquisition was taken at Potton, before Mr. Times, Coroner for- Bedfordshire, on the body of William Circuit, aged 45, who came to his death in a singular mauner. On the preced- ing' Monday, se'nnighf, a show of wild beasts was exhibiting- at Potton, and the deceased, in a state of intoxication, went into the show for the purpose of seeing them, and imprudently approached that part of the caravan in which a lioness was confined, and supported himselfby leaning against the side of the. den. The savag- e animal immediately struck at his arm with her paw, and inflicted a very serious wound, which was described as being- about three- inches in length, and an inch in depth, so as to render the bone visible. The wound, however, was not considered to be of a dangerous description, and the deceased was not confined to his bed till the last day or two, w hen symptoms of mortification appeared, and he died suddenly during- the time that a person was in the act of dressing- the wound.— Verdict accordingly. TREES.— The largest tree in England seems to be the oak on the estate of Lady Stonrton, in Yorkshire, w hich, in 1716, was nearly 85 feet in height, 48 feet iu circumference, at. a yard from the surface, aud 78 feet in circumference, when measured close to the ground. But this is nothing compared with the cir- cumference of the great chesnut- trce on Mount Etna, in Sicily, which measures within the hollow of the trunk about 204 feet. The Salcey Forest oak, sup- posed to be upwards of 1500 years old, measures 46 feet 10 inches in circumference; but it is now little more than a hollow trunk, mouldering fast to dust The cedar tree, also, of Enfield, is an ohj< ct of curiosity; il was brought a plant, from Mount Le- banon, about the middle of the seventeenth century, and planted by Dr. Uvedale. It was measured in 1821, and found to be 64 feet in height, 17 feet in circumference, and to contain 548 cubic feet of tim- ber. Few trees in the world spread more widely than the lime or linden. Evelyn mentions an enormous one at Neusladt, in the duchy of Wirtemburgh, the ambitus of whose boughs was nearly 403 feet ; 145 in diameter from south to north, and 119 from south to west ; while the circumference of the trunk was no more than 27 feet 4 fingers. Even this, however, is trifling compared to the var* t extent to which the Banyan, or Fieus Indica, spreads its branches. One of those trees, near Manjee, west of Patna, gave a shadow at noon of 1116 feet in circumference, and 363 feet in diameter; the circumference of its stems, about 50 or 60 in number, was 921 feet. the memorable between Lords Milton and Lascelles, the expense of each candidate was not short of £ 120,000!— Every carriage and post horse throughout the county was in requisition ; every inn and tavern was open ; and the whole election w, is one scene of lavish expense, ruinous to any fortunes but those of the two families, which were equal to the enormous pressure. The last Northumberland contest is said to have cost each candidate £ 3,0^ 0 a day ! and the sitting Member purchased the return of a few short months at an outlay of £ 50,000. DOVER, MAY 27.— Mr. Marryat has finished his canvass of the town and port of Sandwich and neighbourhood, with the most flattering prospects of success. Admiral Sir Edward Owen has, at the request of a deputation, offered himself, and has made an active canvass in the town. He arrived this morning, to call upon the freemen residing here. 11 is said that the Hon. Captain Dundas, of the Cold- stream Guards ( son of Lord Melville), will also offer himself; but he is not yet arrived. J. W. Farrer, Esq. who married the widow of the Lord Chancellor's eldest son, and whom his Lord- ship has lately appointed to a Mastership in Chan- cery, is a candidate to succeed Mr. W. Williams, the late banker, in the representation of Weymouth. " Preston," it is said, " has a population of about 30,000, and not only housekeepers paying- scot and lot have a right to vote, but its inhabitants, which have been defined by the House of Commons to consist in a residence of six months. AII lodgers, servants, & c. paying no taxes, have as good a vote as the most respectable individual in the borough There is no document on record which can be ; referred to, to ascertain the right of individuals to vote, and it has, from this nature of its elective franchise, been open to the grossest abuse. The number of electors is between 5000 and 6000, four- fifths of whom are of the labouring" class."— If the above statement be correct, it may serve to explain why Hunt, at the last election, and Cobbett, at the approaching one, singled out Preston for the theatre of their Parliamentary renown. WESTMORELAND ELECTION.— The town of Ap- pleby will, by and bye, present a spectacle which is well worth going a hundred miles to see. We were present, as spectators, during- the contest in 1820, and can sincerely say, that any idea we had previously formed of the " pomp and circumstance" of a contested election, fell very far short of the reality. What surprised us most was, the system- atical manner in which the parties proceeded to work, the crowds of young attorneys employed, and the exertions made to bring the voters to the scratch. Industrious men are not fond of leaving their business and their families; but when they do " come up," it is no easy matter to g- et them away again. Plenty to eat and drink, and nothing to pay for it, is a temptation which few forty- shilling free- holders can resist, and, so far from being contented with feasting themselves, numbers of the voters bring their wives, sons, daughters, nephews, and meces, along- with them, and there they remain, carousing away at the expense of the blue or the yellow interest, and totally unmindful of the hints that are thrown out on the hustings, as to the necessity of those who have voted retiring, and making room for succeeding electors. In the little town of Appleby, there is of course nothing like adequate accommodation for a great influx of strangers; but those' who cannot find beds near the scene' of action," are billeted on the farmers and cottagers around ; and' each man, as he retires in the evening, takes care to provide himself with a bottle of brandy. Every thing is free— every house either blue or yellow, and a perfect stranger, by feigning attachment to either side, might dine every day at an ordinary, or Table d\ Hote> without a question being put to him. Our plan was to- pay for every meal as we got it, and even here we found somei little difficulty ; for such was the delay, that few of the waiters seemed to know which end of them was uppermost. A contested election is a political machine ; young attorneys are the engin- eers, and it is curious to observe how very system- atically they make it work. The county is all divided into districts; the polling- booths are marked with corresponding numbers; and the canvassers are, for all the world, like shepherds weering their sheep into so many folds. The Lowtherites had cue office, tha Broughavnites another, for the sole purpose of delivering ribbons or favours; and the demand was so great, and the supply so plentiful, that perhaps we do not exaggerate when we say, that fifty thousand yards were disbursed in all. Into every room we found easy admission, with the exception of one, which was called the carriage or conveyance office. A sentinel, with a gun or bay- onet, stood at the door; and as only one person was admitted at a time, we were fairly precluded from viewing the interior. It was here that many ofthe voters received a douceur under the name of travel- ling expenses; aud uot a few of the knowing- ones, who kept their votes up to the last, drove, we understood, very profitable bargains. One acquaint- ance of ours confessed that he was paid in Scotch bank notes ; and'though he feasted at least a week in Appleby, he took Lowther Castle in his way home, and did every justice to the good cheer pro- vided in the buttery. We have not time at present to relate all we saw and heard, but we may mention, in conclusion, that the Candidates, during a con- tested election, are so hard worked, that they have scarcely time either to eat or sleep. At the early hour of five in the morning, we observed Lord Lowther going- about, and clapping the shoulders of more than one greasy freeholder; and from first to last, Mr. Brougham was the very picture of a man sinking under excessive labour. The voters are quartered in a number of different houses, and it is expected that the Candidates will look in on the different parties, pay them a few compliments, empty a glass to their g- ood healths, and express a hope that they are making themselves quite com- fortable. This of itself is a most teasing duty ; and were it not for " the honour of the thing," there are very few men who would consent to encounter the up- hill work of a contested election.— Dumfries Courier. « ELECTIONEERING ANECDOTE.— A convenient Pulse.— The late Dr. Barrowby interested himself very much in favour of Sir George Vandeput, who was nominated for Westminster in opposition to the Court party. At this period the doctor had for | some weeks attended the noted Joe Weatherby, master of the'Ben Jonson's Head, in Russell- street, Covent- garden, who had been greatly emaciated by a nervous fever. During the doctor's visits, the patient's wife, not knowing- that gentleman's political attachment, had frequently expressed her uneasiness that her Joey could not get up and vote for her g- ood friend Lord Trentham. Towards the end of the election, when very uncommon means were used on both sides to obtain the suffrages of the people, the doctor, calling one morning on his patient, to his great astonishment, found him up and almost dressed by the nurse and her assistants. " Hey- day ! what's the cause of this?" exclaims Barrowby, " why should you get out of bed without my directions?" " Dear doctor," says poor old Joey in broken accents, " I am going- to poll." " To poll!" replies the doctor with great warmth, ( supposing that he espoused the same side that his wife did,) " going- to the devil you mean; why do you not know that the cold air must destroy you? Get to bed, man; get to bed as fast you can, or immediate death may issue."—" Oh, Sir, if that be the case," returns the patient, in faltering- accents, " to be sure I must act as you advise me; but I love my country, S'u- j and thought, while my wife was out, to seize this opportunity to g- o to C'ovent- g- arden church, and vote for Sir George Vandeput."-—" How, Joey, for Sir George !"—" Yes, Sir, I wish him heartily well." —" Do you r" says the medical politician. " Hold ! nurse; don't pull off his stockings again; let me feel his pulse. Hey! very well; a good firm stroke; this will do; you took the pills I ordered last night ?"—" Yes, doctor, but they made me very sick."—" Aye, so much the better. How did your master sleep, nurse?"—" O charmingly, Sir," replies the nurse.—" Did he? Well, if his mind be uneasy about this election, he must be indulged; diseases ofthe mind greatly affect those of the body. Come, come, throw a great coat or blanket about him; it is a fine day; but the sooner he goes the better; the'sun will be down very soon. Here, here, lift him tip; a ride will do him good; he shall go to the hustings in my chariot." The doctor was directly obeyed, and poor Joe Weatherby was carried in the chariot to the place of poll, where he g- ave his voice according to his conscience; and, two hours after his medical friend had left him at his own house, he absolutely departed this life, loaded with the reproaches of his beloved wife and I the Coart party. The pride which w e feel in being Englishmen, is not without some dashes of humiliation, When wc think upon what has been, under the influence of the elec- tioneering mania, and tchat will be during the forth- coming elections. Noble Lords, who, on other occa- sions, would lorn up their noses, should an honest mechanic venture to pass " between the wind aud their nobility," must uot scruple now to shake the hand even of the " smuleh'd artificer." Noble ladies, too— and their influence within as well as without a certain great House, may be admitted to depose for the fact, that the sex are uot unrepresented— noble ladies, too, have condescended to perform strange penances in these contests. We recollect an instance, in which a number of colliers having votes, instead of tendering them for money, gallantly demanded, iu succession, the bonajide salutation of a pair of illus- trious lips ; it was no time for objections, and the fair advocate of a free representation actually kissed round the pitmen, as they voted for her favourite candidate. Aud who does not recollect another female, in nearly the first rank of society, who consented to purchase, at a similar price, the suffrages of the " free and independent" butchers in a certain notable market, in behalf of a celebrated orator and statesman? We doubt not bat a certain eordwainer, who declared', that had she been his wife, she should have a pair of leather lips for the occasion, would, at the present crisis, furnish a similar accoutrement to any lady of elevated rank, who may choose to exercise herself in this way, for the benefit of her country, al ihe ensuing election. GANG OF NOTORIOUS SWINDLERS.— A danger- ous gang of these pests of society has fortunately been rooted out, from a small house al King's Holme turnpike, adjoining the city of Gloucseter, where they bad harboured for about a week, during which shoj t period they defrauded a number of tradesmen of various descriptions of property. Two of these fellows, have been consigned to the County Gaol: a third companion, occasionally assuming the names of White, Godsall, and Townsend, has, for the present, escaped ; and against a female associate, who was found in the house with them, no charge was exhibited. The same gang, before their arrival there, had for some time taken up their abode at Stroud, where they carried on their depredations, without detection, to a very considerable extent. The prisoner George Wlwte was discharged from llchesler Gaol last May, under the Insolvent Debtors' Act, after a long im- prisonment for an attempt to defraud his creditors. MURDER.— Early on Friday night last an atrocious murder was committed, in the neighbourhood of Bedale, on the body of a respectable farmer. The perpetrators of this diabolical act, we are sorry to say, remain as yet undiscovered. It appears that two men who wore blue coats, passed in the direction of Borough- bridge, through atoll- bar, called Butcher House Bar, on the Leemirig- lane Road, about five o'clock on Saturday morning. It has since been ascertained, that, on the same day, two men with blue coats, and trousers full at the top, were seen at Boroug- hbridge, where, at a coach- office, they were inquiring for the earliest conveyance to Leeds. They took no places, but vv^ ht by the Pilot Coach. One man was taller than his. companion. On the Friday three men of suspicious appearance had been seen together, in the vicinity of the place where the foul act was perpetrated, and had been very insolent to the inhabitants of some farm- houses ; it is sup- posed, that if the murder were committed by this party, one of them might have departed for Leeds by one of the coaches on the Leeming- lane Road. It is believed that the unfortunate man, at the time he was murdered, had some money upon his person. On Friday he had received at the Ley burn Bank a bill for i' 26, dated London, March 9, and drawn by Hagar and Co. upon J. aud A. Vincent, Little St. Thomas Apostle, Loudon; and in addition to this, it is thought that he was possessed of some of the notes of either the Richmond or Ley burn Bank of Messrs. Hutton, Other, and Co.— The Rev. T. W. Morley, of Kirklington, near Boroughbridge, has been most active in his endeavours to find out the wretches who have been guilty of this murder. The Mayor of this Borough received information ofthe affair on Sunday, since which time, Mr. Read, our chief con- stable, has been diligent in his search after the villains. It seems that two men did arrive in Leeds on Saturday night by the Pilot Coach, but they de- parted without exciting any suspicions as to theiv characters.— Leeds Paper. On Saturday night last, about eleven o'clock, Mr. Jack, eon of Dr. Jack, the Scotch minister, when passing along- Cooper- street, met a man carrying on his shoulder a number of pieces of gingham. Suspect- ing that all was not right, he seized the man, and asked him what he had got. The man replied that he had got some pieces belonging to his master, who had purchased them that evening, and was then a few yards before ; and he desired that Mr. Jack would go to him if he doubted the story. Mr. Jack accordingly accompanied him to the end of Dicken- son- street, when the man threw down the pieces, and ran off as fast as he could. Mr. Jack pursued and overtook him; when several other men came up, and insisted upon his being liberated. At this moment another gentleman, a Mr. Marsland, came up, and was charged by Mr. Jack to assist him in securing- the prisoner. A struggle then took place, in the course of which Mr. Marsland was forced down into a cellar, and very severely injured. The men then succeeded in liberating the prisoner, and ran off, leaving the pieces behind. On examining them they appeared, by tickets attached to them, to have come from the warehouse of Mr. Ferguson, in Fountain- street. Mr. Jack, therefore, procured several watchmen, and proceeded to the warehouse, all the doors and windows of which were found fast; but one ofthe watchmen getting upon an adjoining building, lower than the warehouse, found that a window, w hich was accessible from the roof of the low building, had been broken, and, on looking into the warehouse, he saw two men in the inside. As he had taken off his coat, they mistook him for one of their confederates, and bade him go round, through the yard, to the back door of the warehouse. i- Ie told them that he could not g- et into the yard, on which one of them said he would go down and open the packing- room door. He accordingly went down, and opened the door, on which the watchmen rushed in, made both men prisoners, and found a consider- able quantity of goods which had been removed, placcd in readiness for carrying off, The prisoners were conveyed to the New Bailey, and were brought up yesterday for examination, but were remanded to this day. Their names were John Smith and James Dumville— the latter, we believe, the son of a very respectable man.— Manchester Mercury. RAIN.—" Taking one year with another," says Hopkinson, in his admirable Essays, " from the beginning to the end, the greatest quantity of rain comes from the south. If the fall is heavy and long, the wind will veer suddenly westward. It becomes tempestuous till the equilibrium is restored. It then turns to the north aud brings frost and dry weather: the west produces wind and fair: with the wind creeping backward from the north, we are generally visited with squalls of violent, never of mild and settled rains. From the north east it rarely either rains or snows. When it does begin, it generally holds on teeming 48 hours in unceasing succession, accompanied with blackness little short of Ethiopian, witn driving winds, and shivering cold. If ray memory fail not, it continued snowing, from this point principally, 14 days and nights together, 1763. After protracted periods of wet or dry, it may be observed, material changes seldom take place all at once. In such cases, if the mercury becomes on a sudden very much depressed, either wind or heat will ensue, and it will rise as it fell; but if it falls by degrees, day after day, till the seventh or longer, in the meantime rising and falling, still preserving its concavity, it will get gradually down below the raining- point. The little cloud will be soon seen rising- in the south: the heavens will blacken, and great rain may speedily be expected. At such a crisis, the wind blowing moderately from the south- west, the following- signs, in this country, are sure to predominate; the alter- nate expansion of flowers and downy plants: a re- laxed atmosphere depositing its humid particles on slabs and such like conductors: on leather and other bodies impregnated with salt: limbs which have been fractured will be in pain : rheumatic per- sons will complain, and the spirits of man at all ages will be relaxed: the human frame also becomes less fit for industry. The manners too of reclaimed and wild animals confirm the external sig- ns of nature, and accord with the internal feelings of man. Does not the dog, of all other creatures the symbol of fidelity, droop > If enticed by its master into the field, which it does not require at other times, is it not less active and sagacious? the horse neighs: the ox lows: the sheep bleat: frogs croak : poultry croodle: the bittern boomps." In ihe reign of Charles II, tea was sold only by Mr. Garraway, in Change- alley, who gave the namo to the celebrated Auction Mart, which has existed so many years; now we have in ihe kingdom at least 30,000 tea- dealers; probably many more. • On Thursday night last some villain or villains entered the garden of J. T. Deriog, Esq. of Crow. ha! l?- near Downham Market, iu this county, and mali- ciously cot down and destroyed ail the valuable orange and lemon trees ( many of them of more than 30 years growth), various other plants, together with a great number of melons and cucumbers. No* t sufficiently sated with this woik of destruction, they proceeded round the garden, and harked, chopped, and destroyed almost all the wall fruit upon ihe premises, leaving scarcely a tree uninjured. Many other valuable trees in ihe garden shared a similar fate, and two long rows of currant bushes were cut down close to the ground — Norwich Post. An inquest- was held last Thursday at Skipton, on the body of Joseph Styan. The deceased was about 28 years of age, and had been an idiot from hisr infancy; he was likewise so very infirm and decrepit!, that he had always worn petticoats. On the day of his death he had been fastened to the wall in the kitchen by a strap, tha way in which his parents were accustomed to secure him, to prevent his injuring- himself; during- the temporary absence of the family be had contrived to loose the strap, and get at liberty; and it is supposed had been endea- vouring to reach some candlesticks from the chimney- piece, which had always greatly attracted his atten- tion, and that his clothes had, caught fire in the act. When on fire he had crept under a large table in the room, and was there enveloped in flames and smoke, and most dreadfully burnt. The table waa likewise much burnt.. Notwithstanding the injury he received, he lived for about three hours after- wards.— Verdict, " Accidental death." ARISTOTLE'S ACCOUNT OF THE NATURE ANI » USE OF MONEY.— The goods necessary to man, as the instruments of comfortable subsistence, were found not to be ( many of them at least) either of easy conveyance or of constant use. The best, perhaps the only market, lay often a distance. It became necessary, therefore, to think of certain commodities, easily manageable and safely trans- portable ; and of which the uses are so general and so numerous, that they ensured the certainty of always obtaining- for them the articles wanted ia exchange. The metals, particularly iron aud silvery and several other?, exactly corresponded to this description. They were employed, therefore, by general agreement, as the ordinary standard of value, aud the common measure of exchange; being' estimated at first by their bulk and weight, and afterwards stamped, in order to save the trouble of measuring and of weighing them. Money is used by convention as the representative of all things wanted; since it serves as a pledge and surety, that whenever those wants occur, they will be speedily gratified ; and its name is derived from a word which, signifying- Law, indicates that it ia founded not on nature, but on convention ; and that human laws, which have thought fit to employ tho metals as a measure of value, may set this use o f them aside, and employ other things in their stead. FLYING MAN.— On Monday week Bristol had an holiday, to see the celebrated Mr. Courtney, an American, take a Flying Leap from the top of St. Vincent's Rock to the opposite side.— From the re- collection of a well- known hoax, some 40 years since, when a man pretended that he would walk on tha water, great numbers doubted of the. accomplishment of the task, and most of those who attended had n good- humoured smile. on their countenances, as if they Expected to be laughed at. Ou approaching tha pot, the scene presented one of the gayest pictures ever beheld ; the stupendous rocks on the Clifton sides were covered with gazing multitudes, whose varied dresses formed a striking contrast to the barren stone on which they reclined : on the opposite side Leigh Wood appeared peopled, and presented an equally in- teresting picture. From the highest point ofthe rock, just over the Giant's Hole, an anchor was made fast, to which was appended a rope of about an inch in diameter, which reached to the opposite side, and fastened to a tree ; ut about half- past five, tha- men were seen tightening the rope, and in a few minutes; the adventurous Icarus emerged ; he appear- ed suspended below the rope, in an horizontal position,, waving a flag in each hand, to represent wings ; hi* descent was most rapid, not consuming more than from 8 to 10 seconds, in which time he passed more than 110( 5 feet ; the task was completed, and the immense mul- titude chocred tbe hero with loud and simultaneous huzzas. Owing to some mismanagement the men ap_- pointed to receive him did uot catch him properly, and he unfortunately struck himself against a tree, bruis- ing- his side considerably .— That this is not the first attempt at such an exploit, may be gathered from tb « following article in The Weekly Miscellany for April 17, 1736. i Thomas Kidman, the famous Flyer, who has flown from several of the highest precipices ii* England, and was the person that flew off Bromham steeple, in Wiltshire, when it fell down, flew on Monday last, from the highest of the rocks near The Hot well, at Bristol, with fire- works and pistols ; after which he wentupthe rope, and performed several surprising dexterities on it, in sight of thousands of spectators, both from Somersetshire and Gloucester- shire.'* — This adventurous fellow lost his life in de- scending from a steeple at Shrewsbury ; but his fanv ® will be immortal. Hogarth has introduced him in his Print of The Fair, in the act of flying from a steeple." In Hutton's History of Derby we find also the follow- ing account of an adventure at Derby : — " 1732. There are characters who had rather amnio- the world, at the hazard of their lives, for a slender and precarious pittance, than follow an honest calling- for an easy subsistence. A small figure of a man, seemingly composed of spirit and gristle, appeared iii October, to entertain the town by sliding down a rope. One end of ihis was to be fixed at the top of Alf Saints steeple ; and the other at the bottom of St. Michael's; an horizontal distance of eighty yards,, which formed an inclined plane extremely steep. A breast- plate of wood, with a groove to fit the rope, and his own equilibrium, were to be his security, whiles sliding down upon his belly-, with his arms and leg* extended, lie could not be more than six or seven seconds in this airy journey, in which he fired a pistol and blew a trumpet. The velocity with which he flew raised a fire by friction, and a bold stream of smpak followed him. He performed this wonderful exploit three successive ( lavs, in each of which he descended twice, and marched up once; the latter took him more than an hour, in which he exhibited many surprising atehievements, as sitting unconcerned with his arms- folded, lying across the rope upon his back, then his belly, his ham, blowing the trumpet, swinging round, hanging by the chin, the hand, the heels, the toe, The rope being too long for art to tighten, he might be said to have danced upon the slack. Though he succeeded at Derby, yet, in exhibiting soon after at Shrewsbury, he fell and lost his life. Cadman was. buried in St. Mary's Churchyard."
