As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, « Person has the Pretension to say that he is the only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact he is perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear's Grease ; but if tlie Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a little Jfergamot which, from having analyzed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to be a Pact. Such Composition, in Lien of being beneficial to the Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect ; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of a very, desicative Nature, and not of u nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded as one of the best Articles for promoting- the Growth of the llair. Therefore, to prevent the Public from falling- into Error by using such Invitations, which are so insulting- to the common Understanding', and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DKLCROIX bco- s to give a brief Description of it : — The Fat of the Animal, when lie receives it in Casks from Russia, is rather offensive, and of a Yellow Reddish Hue, but when purified, it resembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is of an oily and rich Nature.

DELCROIX, Perfumer to the Royal Family, 158, New Bond- street ( removed from 33, Old Bond- street), and sold, with his Name, by Mr. William Nightingale, Mr. John Nightingale, Mr. Thomas Bowd- ler, Mrs. Ilulme ( Pride Hill), Mr. Samuel Hulme, Mr. Pyke, and Messrs.

A Medicine prepared by a Shropshire Gentleman Farmer, SBPEIUOIL TO ALL TIIE PREPARATIONS IN THE WORLD, TSR th. Cure of the Venereal Disease, the King'I Evil, Scrofula, Scurvy, Fistulas, aud every Dis- order arising from Impurity of the Blood. THE PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are so well known throughout Shropshire, and indeed throughout the Kingdom at large, for the Cure of the above Disorders, anil without the Aid of Mercury or of any Surgical Operation, that any Continent on their Virtues is quite unnecessary. As 11 Purifier of tlie Blood they are unrivalled iu Iheir Effects. And their Efficacy has been attested iu numberless Instances; many of them on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over LLIO Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, and over the more established Prescriptions uf the Regular Faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DEBILITY, TURN OF LIFE, nnd any oilier Affliction of the Body arising from a ohnngeil or . vitiated System, the PLOUGHMAN DROPS may ho relied upon for a certain and spuedy Cure. N. B. Doctor SMITII does not recommend a starve lug System of Diet: he allows his Patients to livs like Englishmen while taking the Ploughman Drops. These Drops are to be had in square Bottles w- ITLI these words moulded ou each, " Mr. Smith'.

ELLESMERE, 1ST JUNE, 1826. Imposture Unmasked. ^ EHH E progress of Merit, though frequently » L assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious refctitnde ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object— public approbation. The test of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has estab- lished WARREN's BLACKING in general estimation, of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious pre- paration as the genuine article, to the great disappoint- ment of the nag- uarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. Ir becomes therefore au indispensable duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having- no character to lose, and stimu- lated by avarice iu their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a short direction, with the signa- ture, Robert Warren. All others are counterfeits ; and in many instances the imposition labels are artfully interlined with a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base fabrications of WARREN's BLACKING to return the detected trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machination* of ras cality to merited obloquy. WARREN's BLACKING is surpassingly brilliant ; — it excludes damp; gives pliancy to the leather; re- tains ils pristine virtue in all climates; and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally of iu< pensable fashion and utility.

J JOHX MYTTON, Esq.— Mr. Mayor,— Gentlemen, — I am extremely sorry that the task I have under- taken has not been confided to abler hands, I shall, therefore, confine myself to recommending Mr. Slaney to you as a fit and proper person to represent you in Parliament,— as a Gentleman whose abilities and habits of business particularly qualify him for the situation of Representative of this great and populous town-. His political principles are moderate and independent. ; but the task of delineating- them will be much better executed by himself than by any lan- guage which I can use on the present occasion.— ( Applause.) Mr. JOSEPH WILSON briefly seconded the nomin- ation of M r, Slaney. Mr. SLANEY— Mr. Mayor,— Gentlemen,— I am certain that you will impartially attend to and hear the respective Candidates for the distinguished honour of representing yon, so that you may be able to appre- ciate their merits, and judge of their fitness to be your Representatives. On this occasion I have been " pro- posed to you by my worthy and much respected friend, Mr. My Hon — than whom a better friend there has never beeu to the interests ofthe Town of Shrews- bury. ( Applause.) Had not a technical objection intervened, I should have been seconded by toy esteemed friend, Mr. Hazledine, a man whose capital, whose enterprise, and whose intellect we all well know. ( Applause.) Owing to that objection, I have, however, been seconded by another worthy friend, whose honesty and integrity are well known to all here present. Gentlemen, I have been much m'isrepreseuted in this place, and before J sit down 1 trust 1 shall be allowed to explain those sentiments of mine that have been misrepresented. I have been represented as friendly to the Roman Catholic Religion, and as unfriendly to the Protestant Ascendancy. (? n that ! have been much misunderstood, and I, trust I shall be able to give you a satisfactory explanation. Is it to be said that I am indifferent to the Protestant Reli- gion ? I, who have in this place so often urged the dispersion of the Scriptures— of the Protestant • Bihie/ and lent my aid lo spread the light of the Gospel over the benighted nations of the world? 1, who have so often added mv humble aid to that of the Venerable Father of my friend, Mr. Corbett, in promoting the circulation of Scripture Truth ? Gentlemen, there is not in existence a firmer friend to the Protestant. Faith than I am. So far fron/ having- a tincture of indiffer- ence to it, I consider the. Bible as the best guide in this life, and the only foundation, of our hope iu the life which is to come. Applause.} Gentlemen, I disclaim, detest, and abjure the tenets ef the Roman Catholic Church ; i am opposed to its peculiar doctrines in every point, and under every mode by which they are introduced. Whv, Gentie*- mcn, can it bo believed that I aia indifferent on the as a private, Gentlemen I highly esfeem him.

On one point. Gentlemen, If would- yet wish to ex- plain myself. It, has been industriously reported that i am a violent opponent of the Government. Gentle- men, I am no such thing : I cordially concur iu tli « measures taken by the Ministry in the last Session of Parliament. I NM, Gentlemen* A moderate man, and would support a good measure come from what side it would. Gentlemen, there are some persons who look only to the dark side of things, and think hat in SOME recent measures of tiie Government and the Parliament they see the seeds of our country's ruin. But, Gentle- men, my opinion is, that the flag of this kingdom will keep its place on her top- gallant- jnast- head ; and that by the diffusion of blessings at home, and the glorious expansion, of enlightened opinions abroad, we mav look forward through a long vista of ages, in whieb the Genius of Britain will not be decrepit, not prostrate, but still upright and vigorous, holding in her right hand the Glorious I^ LAG of Freedom, and in her left the Key of Glorious Knowledge, beckoning other Natrons to follow her course and brilliant examplu.— \_ Applaus e ] F& ANCIS KN YVETT LEIGHTON, ESQ—^ Gentlemen,. -- Sir,— I regret most sincerely that the important offieo* I HIV* E undertaken has not fallen into the bands of A person- of more extensive influence, and greater ex- perience in these matters than I possess.

Gentlemen, lam not going to panegyrize at great length the private character of Mr. Boycott: his character, Gentlemen, U well known — his character is marked by that honest, open, manly, nnd truly Eng- lish sentiment, that has obtained for him, and de- servedly obtained for hiin the esteem of all persons M that part of the county in which his residence is situated, AT well as the esteem of a large circle of privateuud intimate friends. Gentlemen, although Iain sure U> V honourable friend is too independent a man to allow himself to he fettered by pledges UH to the general course of his public con- duct, yet, IF you return him to Parliament as your Re- presentative, you will find him faithful, attentive, and independent- zealous to. maiuiaiu alike the just I I.

I have now served you six years, and I again come to solicit your suffrages, having, I trust, done J my duty with the utmost attention and with the most I anxious solicitude for your particular interests. The I interests of the kingdom at large, but more particu- J larly the interests of the Borough of Shrewsbury, I | have done my eikleavours to support. We are all ! liable to errors, and if I have erred, I can conscienti- ously say that 1 have not erred wilfully. What votes : 1 have given, I have given conscientiously. You know what those votes are; for whatever is done by the Legislature transpires to the public, and this I account oue of ihe greatest blessings of the Nation. One subject 1 would particularly allude to : I have been spoken to by many Burgesses since I came among- you, upon a subject that yon will anticipate— I allude t » what is termed the Catholic Question. Gehtleinen, I have beeu trained up,— and 1 am thank- ful for it,-— in the Protestant Religion ; and I trust I shall die in it, and hand itdown to my posterity. The Question of admitting Roman Catholics to Political Power was agitated in several Sessions of Parliament, aud I voted against it in every stage, in the last Session but one it was again brought forward, under very different circumstances, as I conceived, to what had been presented on any former occasion since i had bad a seat in Parliament. I attended every debate, and read a very voluminous report and mass of evidence on the subject: and, however the evi- dence affected my opinions, 1 felt an unwillingness to among the poorer classes— that 1 have been'anxious to ameliorate the condition of poor uieu. \ Loud and general cries of" So!

Archdeacon CORBETT.— Mr. Mayor,— as ti Burgess of this town, ant! one uot uninterested in the proceedings of this day, I beg leave to trespass upon yo'ur patience and that of this good company, for a very short time. And fust, I would speak to what is im- properly called the'Cntholic Question; for 1 am too sound a Protestant to give that epithet to the Church of House, w hich, in a religious acceptation, can only belong to the universal Church of ChrUf, wherever it e professed in the purity ol Gospel truth, and is, berefnre, inapplicable to that Church which has en- grafted false doctrines 011 fhe sure word of God. And Mr, I am equally opposed to' the terms Catholic and Anti- Catholic. Most party designations are vague and arbitrarily applied ; and litis carries with it much delusion, inasmuch ns it seems fn imply that there is cue party in the State in favour of the Church of Koine, and another in favour of the Protestant Church ; whereas 1 Grail} believe both parties are unfavourable o tiie former, and well attached to the latter. Both parties seek the same end, though they do not agree in the means. Some think further concessions to llie members of the Church of Rome would be dangerous, whilst others view in that measure the groundwork of greater unanimity. They think il may tend to lessen tbe influence of the Popish Priests, and remove that irritation which confirms prejudice, and is fatal to conversion from error to truth , la . support of this epinian, 1 would ask, whether there is a single man ii'i this assembly who believes that Mr. Pitt approved of the Church of R ime, or that lie was negligent of the interests uf tic Church of England ? yet it is to Mr. J'itt that we must trace tlic agitation of this question. KAY, be thought it of such importance to tiie Welfare of the realm, that he resigned the pest of Prime Minister, which he had long enjoyed in plenitude of power, rather than carry 011 the business of the Stale without the aid of this healing measure, os ii appeared to h'im. And Mr. Fox will be as little suspected of predilection for the Church of Rome as Mr. Pitt, yet ihey. both agreed upon- this point. I beg- to be understood as not saying any thing of the pro- priety of this joint opinion, 1 merely state ihe fact,, nod for this reason : if. these great statesmen, to one or oilier of whom the eyes and hearts of the people ef tiiis country were at that time almost exclusively directed; if men ( to quote tbe appropriate words of Sir Walter Scott),— " Beneath whose banners proud to stand, Looked up tiie noblest of the land;" if, t say, these luminaries uf the British Senate, who were so generally opposed. to each other, concurred in any measure of political expediency or necessity, then I say the followers of their joint opinion should be looked upon as guilty ofa venial error only. Or let, us look at his Majesty's present ministers, men who have done more than anv other administration to conciliate the confidence of the public at large, and arc nol they divided upon tiiis great Question ? And to bring tiiis argument nearer, 1 would observe, that the unliable and pious Prelate who now governs this Diocese has voted against further concessions lo the members of tha Romish Church, whilst his noble brother, who presides with so much ability over his Majesty's Council, and who has done more for the Church of England than any oilier lay Lord of Parlia- ment, advocates ihone Concessions. Now when we see this, we must allow that those who follow either ooinion may shelter, themselves uuder the sanction of high ar, d. honourable authority. You have heard from ' roy son the full front and bearing of his offence, with reference to this Question, if lie has offended therein. . Whilst he thought the Question unnecessary, he voted vgpinst its introduction; but from the great mass of criience respecting the state of Ireland, laid before both Houses of Parliament last year, he doubted how far further enquiry may not be advisable. But did he • vote for ibis enquiry? He did not. His Protestant predilections made iiim still hesitate. He only did nol vote against going into a committee. But if he laid to voted, it does not follow that lie would have voted for the measures that might have been brought forward iu that committee, unless they- appeared bene- ficial to the general weal, and siich 11s coid. l tie enacted wilh perfect security 10 the Protestant inte- rests.— Fir, 1 have never interfered with my sou's votes in Parliament, and when . he has endeavoured to consult me upon any public question, my answer lia- s been, " 1 can depend upon your judgment full as Well as upon my own ; you are nearer the seat of information and the scene of action than 1 am, and the only advice I con give, is to-' gaiu all tbe knowledge you can upon the. subject, and then pray to God that you limy o> f that knowledge « right. I saw niiich of the members of the Roman Church in my eailv days, through the kindness aud condescension of Sir Edward and Lady Smythe, of Acton Hffrnell ( 1 speak oF tbe grandfather of the present, worthy Baronet), and 1 could say much of their private worth and public loyalty. But not' withstanding this, if the cry of no Popery could add an atom of security to tbe Protestant Church, or depress in the least tbe power of the papal see, then, Sir 1 would utter Ihis cry, perhaps not so loudly as others may he ub! e to do, but with equal zeal and sincerity. But 1 do not wish, by what I have said, to interfere wilh tbe opinions of any other person what- ever : but I do wish they would consider themselves as all intending the same object, though they may differ in ihe me. ii 11s used ; and if this distinction should cause any two persons tojiold their different opinions, wilh 1110' re . . -., 1a /... Mi riihpr T do not think I shall lit profession, by attempting to enforce this dis: incti in-. Being- upon my legs, I baldly know how to sit down without ad verting • to the favours iiiy son has received f'rcui this town, though I find it equally difficult to know how to proceed. Should I thank top warmly for thc honour he bus received, it would look its if 1 appro- priated'part. pf that, honour to myself, which, 1 trust, ! am far from the vanity of doing : arid if 4 allude to any supposed merit on his part as making hiin not total ly uriworlhy ' of that' honour, pftlise would be looked 11 pen as partial and iiidclicate from so near a relation. 1 must ciinSrie myself, therefore, to a few short facts. When my. son first appeared upon these hustings, it was iftit- from presumption 011 his par!, it was not front desire on my part, but it was itrconse- quenee of kind, and liberal, and reiterated solicitation on the part of very many worthy. Burgesses. I have ro lament the decease since that time of many of those early friend's;' men whose loss wiil lie long regretted, whose- memories w ill he loiig esteemcd, but I am happy to think a sufficient uirmbpr survive to hear testimony to this- statement.— When inv son w'ns returned your Representative, he felt the duties of lhat situation as one of paramount obligation. And what is the life of a Member of Parliament w ho attends strictly to those duties? He must rise early in the morning, that lie may read tbe documents connected with the business ofthe coming day. He has scarcely time to read and answer his letters, when he is called lo some of those morning comuiiltees in which so much ofthe business of this great Country is transacted, huL which, unlike all other transactions of the present day, whether great or small, are little noticed in the reports of the public press. In these committees the members remain till the Speaker takes the chair, w hen they arc summoned to the deliberations of the HuUse below ; and you know these deliberations Inst often till a late hour of the night, and not unfrequeutly intrude into the following morti. From tlie extensive commerce of this country, and the high situation this country holds among the nations of the world, the business- of Parliament is much more laborious than it was formerly. In former times, 1 believe, tbe budding forth of the trees wit's looked upon as the harbinger of a closing Session : I have beard of a member who regarded this as the legitimate criterion of the length to which a senator's services should extend, so that whenever he could see a green leaf upon the sycamore tree in the Speaker's garden through the window of. the House of Commons, lie deemed it. sufficient leave of absence, Dili! set out for his country seat, that he might enjoy the pleasures of tbe coming spring: but now a Session of Parliament consumes the whole of that delightful season and a portion of the summer months; so that whoever at- tends regularly the business of the House of Commons, must sacrifice his income, must give up his time, and not [ infrequently a portion of bis health to the public ' service. Gentle men, you may have sent a' member to represent you who may have entertained you with more eloquent speeches or talents of display, but I do not believe you could have sent any one who entertained your interests more sincerely, or considered them wilh more measured deliberation ; and I do' know the few- words he occasionally uttered in Parliament were well received : and I have been further assured by one of the oldest and most distinguished members, of that assembly, that his general conduct there was so appreciated by men of different parties, that at least J on need not be ashamed of having sent him thither. , Bul th is is a dangerous subject in my hands, and I w ill only add, that, little desirous as I was that my son should be allured from the. humble duties of a country' lire to incur '. lie deep responsibility of a voice in the Legislature of the country, yet I cannot but be highly gratified hy, and deeply grateful for, the manner in which this trust was conferred, and gratified also by the way in which lie has endeavoured to discharge hiinseU' of tbat responsibility. 1 look upon his former return to Parliament as one of the purest and most constitutional exercises of the elective franchise; and if be is again returned, 1 hope it will lie upon similar principles, and that you will be still able to apply lo him the liites written under the picture of the Sir. Choimondcley who so long represented Cheshire : — " fn this plain guise a senator i. s shewn, Who never bought ft vote or sold tiis ow n." Rev. J. WILDE.— Fellow Townsmen,— You liave had some long speeches— I menu to give you a very start' one. With due submission, I think the main question for your coasideratioii lias not been plainly and openly set before you. The two Candidates have said much about their being brought up in llie Pro- testant Faith, their adherence to it, and their disin- clination to Popery. New ill this, Gentlemen, in my humble opinion, is nothing to the point; no one elet'lor doubts it— no one insinuates that they think unfriendly to Protestantism. But tbe question for your consideration is, will these Candidates, if elected, vote for admitting into power those who are hostile to it — who are SWORN enemies to a Protestant Establishment ? Will they by their vote destroy those guards and securities which the legislature has placed around the Constitution, and which, if removed, in my humble opinion WOHII! endanger the very existence of the Constitution ? That is tbe question, short, and simple ; and the answer ought te lie as plain and short— aye, or no. The town has legally, opeiily, and unanimously expressed their sentiment upon, this question ; and though not bound or fettered 011 minor points by the judgment, of their constituent's; yet I do Say, that every representati ve is bound upon questions which affect I. .. 1 of i IA [^ I^ Ti'-. iitnliAii lit; f n ! s&.- i •• < 4 11 E are desired to state, that the .

Countij I¥ omination* Yesterday being- the day appointed for the Nomination of Gentlemen to represent, this County in Parliament, JOHN COTES. Esq. the High Sheriff of the County, opened his County Court, at 1* 2 o'clock, when lie addressed the assembly as follows:— Gen tlemen, In ' consequence of having received His Majesty's Writ, commanding me to call a meeting ofthe Freeholders, for the express purpose of putting in Nomination two Gen- tlemen, as fit and proper persons to represent this County in Parliament; you are this day assembled for that purpose. Sir ANDREW CORBET said, « « Mr, High Sheriff, and Brother Freeholders— Permit me to engage your attention for a few moments, while 1 propose a Gentleman for. one ofthe Representatives in Parliament for this loyal and distinguished County—- a Gentleman who has already in that service ensured o'tifr approbation and esteem. You will, 1 doubt not, anticipate the name of Sir Rowland Hill. Gentlemen, I feel a particular satis- faction in proposing the worthy Baronet, because I am persuaded, 0: 1 a review of his conduct, we may safely repose our Interests in his hands. To his private character, his worth will do greater justice than any eulogy of mine. Of his conduct as our County Member, 1 believe 1 may challenge his ene- mies ( if he has any)" to produce any one act which can detract froth- his merit. He is zealous for our interests, constant at his post. value, 1 will most assiduously attend to yonr interests, and endeavour zealously to fulfil the task of serving you to the utmost of my ability, which can be in no way more power- fully supported than by the free and friendly communication hitherto existing between myself and tiie Freeholders of this great County. Gentlemen, whatever slight differ- ences of opinion may have subsisted between me and some of my constituents, they have neter been such as to interrupt in the slight- est degree the feelings Of friendship, which ought to exist, and which I trust will exist, in the most extended degree between me and those whose interests 1 have to deal with. 1 therefore hope we shall still continue in the same glorious course ; and may our example prove how deeply and how anxiously our hearts are interested. in . the peace and pros- perity of this great and wealthy County.— { Great Applause ) The shew of hands was unanimous iu favour of Sir Rowland Hill, Bart, and J. Cressett Pelham, Esq.— The Sheriff then adjourned the Court until Friday next, at 19 o'clock, when the Election will take place. Mr. FELH'AM suggested, and Sir HOW- LAND HILL, Bart, seconded the thanks of the meeting to the High Sheriff, for his impartial conduct in the chair, which was carried unanimously. WF. NI. OCK ELECTION took place on Saturday lest, when tbe Hon. G. Forester was proposed by Thoniat Harries, Esq. and seconded by Thomas accessible to all his Constituents, and in one | Fmiday, Esq.— Mr. Thompson was proposed hy Sir word, a downright honest man.— f Applause. J I W. Williams Wynn, Bart, and seconded by Mrs kindness towards each other, I do not think I shall be ooked upon » s travelling out of the record of my the vital interests of the- ConMilution, by the clear and general voice of their electors. It has been said by some, J Let me see Mr. Corbett safe, ami then I'll speak to yon about Mr: Boycott ' But, Sir, highly as I renpect that gefttlf rriaii, and in personal respect to him 1 yield to no man in this assembly .( fori think we owe him our thanks for the fidelity and diligence with which lie has served us); yet, Sir, if! had heen asked tbat Question, my answer would have been, 1 Let me see the Constitution safe, and then I'll speak to you about Mr, Corbett.' For, believing as^ do, that this Catholic Question affects our dearest interests, I rrili not put Mr. Corbett in the balance nitbtheCwnstitution of my cntmtry. Tliere is a point or two which I could wish to observe upon in thtt speech of the Rev. Archdeacon Corbetf, and which 1 wish te do with that respect which I owe him. He lias brought forward the names of Fox aud Pittas advocates of Catholic Emancipation, as it io called ; hut I doubt whether the former, and certainly the latter never, went the length which the present advocates of that measure propose. Mr. Pitt never would admit Papists'into power but with certain restraints, a nd under those limitations which are now rejected b7 thetn. The opinions of Mr. Pitt no more agreed with modern politicians upon this subject than light with darkness. I have,. Gentlemen, 110 personal objection to Mr, Slaney ; and I know nothing of Mr, Beyc » tt. Some- thing has been said it hout tbe latter being a fox- hunter ; but I do tiot think that a great objection. Most of our yeomanry and country gentry are fox. hunters, and to them, under God, we owe in great measure the pre- servation of our liberties, while French advocates, wbo did not tremble at touching : ind removing the' harrier of their monarchy, brought it and ihe monarch himself to ruin. However, this is little to Ihe point. His Majesty has not sent his writ down far you to elect eilbera Slaney or a Boytott, but toaseerfain whe- ther you will act consistently with the sentiments expressed iu your late unanimous Petition. In a word, whether it is your opinion ( by the choice you have made) tbat these securities and guai ds or our excellent Constitution, which your . ancestors have erected, should be upheld aud supported, or whether yoil, their descendants, will remove and destroy those bulwarks which were erected by their wisdom and cemented by their blood ; which are the preserv- ation of our civil and religions liberty, itn. der. Yi liich- we have prospered ; and which have made us at once tbe admiration and envy of the world. The shew of hands being then taken, it was de- clared to be in favour of Mr. Corbett and Mr. Slaney ; on which Col. K. SYVBTT LKIGHTOM, on behalf of Mr. Boycott, demanded a Poll.

The Staffordshire Yeomanry were in- spected 011 Whittington- heath on Saturday week by Lieut- Colonel Radclyffe, having been on permanent duty; at Lichfield since the preceding Monday. The men made a fine appearance, and were well mounted. There were upwards of (> 00 men formed in n line of six squadrons, the tivo ' flank-, ones of which were commanded by Lprd. nson and Lord Satidon. After the evolutions, Lieut.- Colonel R ad el y fie requested Coh Monckton would express to the regiment. hi. s perfect ap- probation of its appearance and discipline, and the satisfaction lie should have in report- ing the efficiency, of so fine and numerous a corps. The troops were formed into a square, and the report of Lieut.- Colonel Radclyffe, together with the thanks and con- gratulations of Colonel Monckton, were con- veyed to them by Lieut- Colonel Littleton. i, therefore, beg to nominate Sir Rowland Hill as one of our Representatives in the en- suing Parliament."— Great Applause. J EDWARD WILLIAM SMYTHE OWEN, Esq. said—" . Gentlemen, As* a Freeholder of tiiis - County, I beg leave to second the nomination of Sir Rowland Hill, Bart, as one of our Representatives in the ensuing Parliament, assured, as l am, that it would be impossible for you to select as yonr Re- presentative one who is more attached to the Constitution, or whose sentiments are more in unison with the Freeholders of this County. I therefore beg leave to second the Nomination of Sir Rowland Hill us one of our Representatives in the ensuing Pur- liament ."-*-{ Applause. J Sir ROWLAND HILL.— Gentlemen, I cannot again offer, myself to your- notice without returning you my most grateful thanks for the numberless proofs of friend- ship- i have received at your hands, since you last did. me the honour of electing me one of ynur. Representatives. In the prospect of re- obtaining fhe object of my ambition, I assure you, that although my ability may fall far short of mv wish to be in ali points worthy of your choice, my exertions shall be stimulated to the utmost by a sincere at- tachment to the King and. Constitution, ( ApplauseJ an anxious desire to. promote the interests of my native County, and a deep sense of gratitude to those who honor me with their confidence. Relying, there fore, as I trust 1 may, on a continuation of that kindness, which I have received from you on all occasions, I have again to request your support on the approaching day of Election. Allow me now to return my best thanks to those who have favoured me with their attendance this day, and I assure them I am most grateful for this additional and flattering mark of their approbation, f Great applause. J \ V. OWEN, Esq. of Woodhonse, then said—" Gentlemen, I have the honour to propose John Cressett Pelham, Esq. as a fit and proper person to represent this County in Parliament. Gentlemen, it is a fortunate circumstance for me to say, that I have no occasion to expatiate on the character of my honourable friend, whose conduct has been before you for three years past. Such has been his attention in Parliament to the in- terests of this County, that i can with great confidence recommend him again to the honourable situation he has aspired to. Gentlemen, however some of his constituents may differ from him in political opinion, there- is no man but must admire his most constant attention to fhe discharge of his Parliamentary duties, his loyalty, and his ndependence. Gentlemen, if he should be igain chosen by you to represent your in- terests in the House of Commons, 1 am con- vinced Mr. Pelham will discharge the duties of his situation in such a manner as to merit your confidence; and I therefore beg leave to recommend him to your notice as a fit and proper person to represent your interests in the ensuing Parliament.— f Applause.) The. Rev. EDWARD BURTON said, " Gen- tlemen, and Brother Freeholders, 1 have the honour to second Mr. Owen in proposing Mr. Pelham as one of the Representatives for tiiis County ; and in so doing 1 do not mean to speak here of the characters of either of the Members, as they are well known to evevy Freeholder in this County, and have been so ably stated to you. Still, permit me to refer to his close and active attention to his Par- liamentary duties, and to his zealous and persevering endeavours to promote the local interests of his late Constituents, as the best standard by which we can judge of his future conduct, should you again place him in that • distinguished situation,"--*/' Applause. J Mr. PELHAM said, " Gentlemen, and Brother Freeholders. Allow me to congratu- late you 011 our being again assembled on Myfton, of Sbipfon,— There being 110 opposition, tlie Candidates were declared duly ctccled. Oil this occasion, Mr. Blithe Harriet addressed the Bailiff and the Electors to ihe following purport, upon Ihe sub- ject of Catholic Emancipation:—" Mr. Bailiff,— I consider I lie Question of Catholic ' Emancipation to he a Question which involves either tbe support or the irrevocable downfall of the Church of England. 1 would ask. Sir, is Ihe Protestant Church au inle^ ral part of the British Constitution ? Has il been endan- gered by the late voles of tbe House of Commons ? If to these questions, Sir, you may fairly answer yes— a conclusion very apparent to my mind,—. upon what grounds can a Candidate for Ihe Representation of this Borough object to give a pledge to support our Protestant Cho rch, any more than lie could refuse lo support any other of tbe branches of our Constitu- tion— tbe C'ronm, Ibe Home of Peers, or Ihe House of Commons, if endangered in a similar manner? I bad much pleasure. Sir, in reading the address of Mr. Thompson, in ilae paper, which expressed that it was cur strict loyalty that first induced him 10 offer himself lo represent us in Parliament. 1 now venture to put tbe strict loyalty of the Hon. Gentleman, respectfully, bul firmly lo tbe lest ; and ask him for a pledge to resist all further claims of Ihe Catholics, I was at tbe Nomination at Shrewsbury yesterday, when an immense deal was said upon the Catholic, a great ileal upon Ihe Protestant Faith; neither of which now bear upon my mind in this Question I am a friend lo ftee toleration of worship. There are in Ibis franchise many amiable and respectable Catholics; one hiath in rank ( Sir Richard Acton), lo whom 1 have the honour to be distantly related. As Catholics, I esteem them as tnuchasl trust they esteem me for being a Protestant. Il is tbe altempt of the Catholics lo extort Political aggrandizement, and tbat alone, tbat I wil] ever use mv utmost endeavours, weak and feeble as they may he, to resist. 1 iutreat the holl. candidate to bear in mind tbe many and unbiassed independent petitions which are recorded in our books against furl her concessions to tbe claims of the Catholics, and which wilt prove Ibat I am not offering my sentiments alone, but those of tbe great majority of tbe Burgesses at largo of this Borough. Mr. Harriet proposed Mr. Forester, as follows: — w Mr. Bailiff, Gentlemen, ami Burgesses,— Unused as I am -. 0 speaking in public, I shall trouble you very shortly, while I recommend to your choice this day, as one of your Representatives in Parliament, the Hon George Weld Forester.— His family is well known to you all, and has represented this ancient aud respect- able Borough for successive generations, and I think I may say, without flattery, with credit to themselves, and 110 less advantage to you — Feeling assured- that he wilt not he behind any of tiis predecessors in Zeal lo uphold our excellent Constitution 11s established in Church and State, and to promote, SH far as lies in bis power, Ihe lucal and individual interests of this Borough and- neighbourhood, I confidently recommend him- to your choice." - Conclusion of the Pol), BRIDGNORTH.— Mr. Counsellor Ludiow has appeared as a Candidate for this Bo- rough.

A poll was demanded on his behalf, and it was to commence ou Saturday morning. Bath Election took place 011 Friday. The return of General Palmer, one of the former members, wa « opposed by Earl Brecknock, and after a poll of a short continuance, Lord J.

The General, it is said, means to petition against the return.— The old members, Colonel Webb and' Mr. Cooper were, on Friday, returned for the city of Gloucester— At Chippenham, Sir.

However little my endeavours have • deserved their- approbation, it would ill be- come me to dwell on this subject; vet 1 trust my endeavours to do my duty have been such, that I may with confidence again aspire to fill that honourable situation which, by your kindness, 1 have previously occu- pied. I trust my public conduct has been such as to merit your favourable opinion and that I shall always experience a continu- ation of that agreeable intercourse and mutual confidence which has hitherto subsisted be- tween us.

The prevailing opinion, however, is, that the two latter have beat the ground so closely and successfully as to leave no chance for either of their opponents. PRESTON.— The election here has assumed anew and most desirable aspect, though the commence- ment of it has been stormy. At ten o'clock on Friday morning the various candidates were put into nomination before the Worshipful the Mayor. I'here was an immense concourse of electors pre- sent, and the friends ofthe Hon. Mr. Stanley, those of Mr. Cobbett and of Mr. Wood proposed there. But an unexpected candidate appeared, in the person of Capt. Barry ofthe Royal Navy; a gentle- man of high reputation at the Admiralty, and a staunch Tory. At tbe conclusion of the pre- liminary proceedings Mr. Cobbett inquired from Captain Barry, in what way he meant the electors to vote: to which the gallant officer replied, he should put the long oaths. As this would neces- sarily disqualify Catholic voters, the expression of such a determination was the signal for tumult. Tremendous groans and hisses were directly heard ; and vollies of pebbles were thrown upon the hust- ings without respect to persons or parties. The candidates bore this outrage for some time without giving way; but at length both they and the Mayor were compelled to make a precipitate retreat, and vacate the hustings. The disturbance continued ; and ail was confusion and disorder in the town.— Captain Barry has been solicited, by a deputation from a numerous body of the most respectable in- habitants of Preston, to offer himself as a candidate. — The public entry of the Hon. Mr. Stanley was splendid, most respectably attended, and numerous beyond precedent. Sed. 3 per Cts. 795 3 per Ct. Cons. — Imperial 3 per Cts.— 34 per Cents. — 3| per Cents.

The City of London Election commenced on Friday.— Six candidates were proposed— of these, Alderman Thompson, decided!* the most popular, pledged himself on th « great question against Popery ; Mr. Ward half pledged himself; Alderman Wood pro- mised to abide the instructions of a Common Hall ; and Mr. Waithmau and the Lord Mayor were silent.

T the present Moment, when so many Articles, necessary to the Comforts of the poorer Classes, are more or less liable to Taxation, it mav surely be a Question, whether the Abolition of Lot- teries, bv which 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, J the'System", was. fraught with some Evil. Insurances, were allowed updn the Fate- of Numbers through pro- tracted Drawings, and as the Insurances could be effected for very small Sums, those who could jll afford Loss imbibed a Spirit for Gambling, which the Legislature very wisely most eilectually prevented, by adopting, in the Year 1809, the present improved Mode of deciding the. whale 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-, bv which many Branches of the Revenue are consider- ably aided, and by means of which Hundreds of Persons find Employment. I'he Wisdom of those who at this Time resign thy Income produced by it, and add to the Number of the unemployed, may, as 1 have observed in a former Address, surely be questioned. Mr. Pitt, whose Ability in Matters of Financial Arrangement few wiil question, and whose Morality was proverbial, would not, I ain bold to say, have vislded 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 u cheaper Light. But we live in other Times,— in the Age of Improvement! — To stake patrimonial Estates at Hazard or Ecart& in the Purlieus of St.. James's is merely Amusement, but 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 toe Time I write, were not many of our Nobility and Senators, some of whom 1 dare say voted against Lotteries, assembled betting Thousands upon a Horse Race f In saying so much it may be thought that I am somewhat presumptuous, or that I take a partial .

And aft, " hell the wings of soft Zephyr are still, Delighted IK ramble by woodland and rill ; She smiles when 1 cry—" I've al length found HIT treasure, • i PUR virtuous Love is the parent of PLFABUBE !" WINES. The following observations on tbe different wines will doubtless prove interesting to the generality of cur readers, Mr. Brande, tbe chymist, is tho au- thor, and his scientific attainments cntitlo his investigations to attention :— Port, HI its new and unadulterated state, is a rough, strong, and slighty sweet wine; but when duly kept in bottle, it deposits a considerable^ portion of its astringent and extractiv e matter, loses the greater part of its sweetness, acquires an improved flavour, and retains its strength. Various proportions of brandy are almost always added to port wine before it comes to this country, to.. which much of its heat upon the palate, and powerfully stimulating effect upon the constitution, must be ascribed, when taken in its new state. If too long kept in bottle, nearly the whole cf its colouring and astringent matters are deposited ; it loses flavour; ( tad becomes much less agreeable, both to the palate r, lid stomach.— Good port wine, duly kepi, is, when taken iu moderation, one of the most wholesome of \ innus liquors; it strengthens the muscular system, assists the digestive powers, accelerates the circu- lation, exhilarates the spirits, and sharpens the mental energies— Indulged in excess, it is perhaps the inoi."' mischievous of the wir. es, and most likely to produce those permanent derangements of the digestive organs,, that obluse stale of the faculties ot the mind, and those obstinate organic affections, which lollow the habitual use of distilted spirituous liquors. Madeira, as a stimulant, exceeds port. It agrees well with the stomach, und, when iu fine condition, may truly be called a generous wine, particularly well adapted for the resuscitation of debilitated constitutions, and for exciting the nervous system in typhoid weakness. But, unfortunately, good Ma- deira wine is rarely to be procured ; it is no longer made of the same excellence as formerly, and the trade overflows with a variety of inferior and mixed wines, of all prices and denominations, to which the name of Madeira is most undeservingly applied. In its purest form, • Madeira generally is moro acid than either port or sherry, and is consequently i. ot so well adapted to stomachs inclined to dyspeptic acidity, where it is usually complained of as pecu- liarly heating and irritating. Sherry, of a due age and good condition, is 8? n extremely fine and wholesome wine, free from any excess of acid matter, and possessing a dry aromatic flavour and fragrancy, which renders it a fit stimu- lant for delicate stomachs; as such it is among the most valuable articles of Materia Medica. But, as procured in the ordinary market, it is of most fluctuating quality, and very often destitute of ail an. nia, tasting of little else than alcohol and water. — Of these wines, the quantity which may be taken • with impunity, and the proportion requisite to fulfil certain indications in disease, is entirely d . pendent upon their quality; and they accordingly either produce the genial effects of general fer- mented liquors, or the more boisterous excitement of the products of the still, even when taken with due moderation. Thus it is, thai a single glass of tavern wine often heats, and creates head ach, aud disturbs digestion, in persons who are not habitually accustomed to the compounds which, at such places, are distributed under the name of wine.— Such effects are sometimes so marked as to be referred to pernicious adulterations of the liquor; but, in the numerous samples of wine, of suspected purity, which 1 have examined, I never found any poisonous ingredient; and though lead, in minute quantities, may often be detected in wines, especially in Ma- deira, it invariably is derived from shot in the bottle, or some aualagous source, aud is most evident iu that wine, in consequence of its superior acidity, and consequent tendency to oxidize and dissolve the lead. In one instance I detected arsenic iu a bottle of Sherry, but it was confined to the single bottle, und traced to a cattle lotion which it had previously contained. Upon the whole, the preva- lent custom of puttiiig1 wine into washed bottles, which have not previously contained it, cannot be too strongly or justly reprobated. Among the French wines, which in delicacy of flavour and care in manufacture exceed all others, Burgundy, aud the various branches of that family, are peculiarly heating aud soporific; anil, when new, two or three glasses frequently excite a sin- gular degree of temporary fever, attended by a full und hard pulse, flushed face, and head- ache; but the symptoms soon subside, and are followed by no iuconvenience. These wines, however, should be cautiously indulged in by all persons in whom sud- denly increasjil vascular action is liable to produce any thing more than temporary effect. Burgundy is a wine not less celebrated for the exquisite deli- cacy of its flavour and odour, than for the un- certainty with which it retains'them. Sometimes it preserves its execllence unimpaired for many years; at others it becomes insipid, vapid, discoloured, and decomposed, in as many months. Any sudden change of temperature is particularly inimical to this wine, which should always be preserved in a tool but not a cold cellar; and, for the same reason, it should be transported from one country to the olher in very temperate weather, the thermometer ranging between 50 and GO degrees. The wines of Bourdcaux are distinguished by a delicacy of flavour, and by a more perceptible com- bination ofthe acid with the vinous flavour ( though quite independent of acescency), than is perceived in most other genuine vinous liquors: they are less heating and, more aperient than other wines, and agree well with the stomach when taken in modera- tion; if ill excess, they excite acidity and indiges- tion, often rather from the quantity than quality. But the clarets of our w ine merchants are often very substantial wines, being compounded in various ways for the English market, they are thus often mixed with hermitage, aud witli raspberry brandy: and if procured through doubtful channels, as wc find them at taverns, they are too frequently acescent, and apparently composed of some claret, mixed with faded port, or other spoiled wines. ' The clarets, however, derived from respectable sources, are agreeable and comparatively innoxious wines; they are moderately exhilarant, and have a tendency to relax the bowels and increase the flow of urine: they are the w ines fitted for those persons v. ho are easily excited, and in whom the stronger v ines readily produce febrile action ; aud iu that state Of the system which connected with a ten. dency in the urine to deposit white sand, a state which some physicians have denominated the phos- phatic diathesis, claret may be regarded as ail effective remedy. Hermitage, especially the red, Cote- rotie, liov- sillon, and a few other wines of rare occurrence, occupy a place intermediate between port and claret, considered as to strength, and often also in regard to flavour. These wines require age for their per- fection, and Roasillon, if originally of fine quality, is not in perfection unless it has been ten or twelve years in bottle. Champagne wines admit of division into two classes, the sweet and sparkling, the dry and still. These differences arise partly from the mode of managing the fermentation and bottling of the wine, and partly from the circumstances of growth and situations of the wines, the sunny side of a hill yielding fruit fit for the production of the sweet wine, and the opposite aspect affording grapes calculated for the manufacture of a strong but dry wine. The effervescent varieties of champagne, if not taken in excess, are the most speedily cx- hilirating of all wines; they soon produce an ap proach to intoxication, which is very transient, and generally harmless; but, indulged in to any excess, their effects are more than ordinarily pernicious, aud they then stand unrivalled in the headache, nausea, sickness, and universal derangement of the system, which they create. In habits tending to the forma- tion of utric acid, and in constitutions subject to red deposits in the urine, or to affections of a gouty character, champagne, even in moderation, is cer- tainly more apt than other wines to create painful sensations in the regions of the kidneys, and in the small joints of the hands and leet. it is well known to have brought on fits of gravel and of gout; yet are there some gouty persons who indulge in cham- pagne with at least temporary impunity, though ill all such cases prudence forbids its use. So many persons complain of violent headache, even after a single glass of good champagne, that it should lie interdicted wherever there is a tendency to such affections, from whatever cause they may arise.- Still champagne is often a strong and very lieatin wine, very deceitful in these respects to the palate. When of superior quality, it lias the singular aromatic flavour of champagne* in an eminent degree, a flavour which also exists, but is covered by car- bonic acid, in the sparkling wine. The latter should, herefore, not be drank till the active effervescence eas subsided, by those who would relish this charac- teristic quality. The prevalent notion that a glass of champagne cannot be too quickly swallowed, iB very erroneous, and shows great want of taste iu respect to the peculiar excellence of this wine; to such persons a glass of perry or of gooseberry wine is as acceptable as one of champagne: further, it is no bad lest ofthe goodness of sparkling champagne to leave it exposed for some hours in a wine glass, when, if originally of the higher order, it will be found to have lost its carbonic acid, but entirely to retain its body and flavour. The coloured cham- pagnes are usually tinted with cochineal, and there are several other varieties of this wine which require no particular notice : many ot'theni, though genuine, are of a very inferior description, and quite deficient in bouquet and flavour. The class of sweet wines, or vAns de liqueur, as the Erench term them, require little notice in this place, being rarely taken in doses exceeding one, or, at the utmost, two glasses. Many of them are potent, aromatic, and cordial; and they are gene- rally nvore agreeable to the palate than the stomach, with which they eminently disagree, if indulged iu beyond the usually prescribed quantity. A great variety of wines are made in Italy, and iu the more southern parts of Europe, which, how- over, ore of rare occurrence, and chiefly found at the tables of the curious. Of these, some few are of excellent quality, but in general they are care- lessly made, and, from inattention to cleanliness, and the state of the fruit, they are of inferior or even disagreeable flavour. With the exception of Constantia, all the wines imported from the Cape of Good Mope are also defective in the most essential qualities of good wine.* Among the home- made wines, a few are drinkable, aud many might be considerably improved; but the ^ necessity of selecting perfect and healty fruit, and the extreme care and cleanliness requisite in all steps of the manufacture, are here so little attended to, as, with very few exceptions, to render all these products quite unworthy of comparison with those previously described. They commonly contain a large quantity of unfermented sugar, or they have become pricked, In consequence of the production of a little vinegar, and hence are extremely apt to disorder tbe stomach. it may not be out of place here to remark, that tire acidity of stomach and other symptoms of indi- gestion which follow occasional indulgence in wine may, to a great extent, be prevented by a dose of magnesia at bed- time, which saturates the acid in siomach, allays the febrile action, aud passes off the next day by the bowels. Other absorbents, in conjunction with mild bitters, may be resorted to; and by such a plan the disturbance of the urinary secretion, and the continued dyspepsia, which often lasts for some day, may be checked at its commence- ment. tu regard to porter, ale, and other varieties of beer, considering them as occasional remedies in the cure of disease, it may be remarked that they rarely agree with the stomach, except among those persons who are in the habit of copious indulgence in those coarser products of fermeutatiou. Hence it is that, under such circumstances, beer may be administered to convalescents with more advantage than wine: it is a I ess stimulating, but more nutritive and soporific beverage; it induces more fulness of the system; and habitual indulgence in it generally fattens, creates a plethoric state of liabit, aud in- duces apoplexy, or some of the minor symptoms of vascular turgidity. * We take leave to doubt the correctness of this remark,— at all events, the Cape w ines are every year improving in quality. Election Committees under the Grciivilie Act. These resolutions are excellent so .. far as they go, but we could have wished that a thfrd resolution had been added ; namely, that it might be competent to such Committee to put any questions to the voters them- selves, and to require such voters to answer all such questions on oath, though they should object, that, iu such answers, they might criminate themselves.— The apparent hardship ( for it is only apparent) of such a mode of examination might be removed by annexing, as a condition, to such answers, that they should not be criminally used against the parties making them. In matters of corporeal pain and punishment, there is certainly some apparent cruelty iu compelling parties to answer so as to criminate themselves; but the soundest objection is, that such a mode of examination holds out au irresistible temp- tation to falsehood and perjury,— and whilst we all remain Christians, we cannot doubt that such a solicitation to a heavy sin is contrary botli to re- ligion and humanity. But we can see no reason why agraveand discreet body ot'Magistrates, or assembly of Gentlemen, like an Election Committee, might not be allowed to put such questions, on occasions of great: public notoriety, so that ali perjury might be out of the question, as no one would venture to commit it. At the same time, truth requires us to say, that the present resolutions afford no corrective to the evil of close boroughs. These w ill still continue to be in the hauds aud patronage of Noble Lords, or the purchasers of seats, as usual. And it must not be forgotten, that at least one hundred members are returned in this mode to Parliament. TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. London, 3d June. My Lord— I have hitherto refrained from replying to your Lordship's thrice repeated application for my vote, because it is not an agreeable employment to decline acceding to a request of this nature, made with a courtesy which demands my acknowledg- ments. 1 feel it, however, becoming me to give your Lordship decisive information as to my inten- tions, since the Election is so near. Approving, as I do, your Lordship's manly and independent conduct in the British Senate, and many of the votes which you have given on important questions, it. is with sincere regret that I withhold my suffrage from an individual, whose election " tor the county of . Huntingdon would, in several respects, confer upon it an honour, of v. hich I should feel proud; though one of its most obscure freeholders. But your Lordship's vote aud opinions on the llsman Catholic question, unhappily prevent me from hav- ing the gratification of ranking myself among your constituents. I am well aware, that in allowing my vote to be governed by this important question, I place myselfwnongthosa clerical individuals, against whom a distinguished politician has directed his brilliauf, but reproachful, eloquence; and that 1 subject myself to the charge of ignorance and pre- judice. 1 willingly de so, however; while, to the best of my ability, I conscientiously discharge the highest duty which can devolve upon me, in the united characters of a British Freeholder, aud of a Protestant clergyman. 1 can never allow that- th. e political and theological considerations of this most important question can be safely separated. I feel, indeed, that a minister is more usefully employed while engaged in the immediate duties of his pastoral office, than while mingling iu the bustle of political contentions;— yet deeply convinced, as I also am, that { toman Catholicism is at once calculated to sub- vert a free Government, aud to overthrow pure re- ligion, I will strenuously oppose this strong- hold of despotism and of superstition, whenever Providence calls me, on occasions like the present, to exercise the most important of civil privileges. During the late Parliament a majority of our Re- presentatives betrayed the people, by yielding up the great point of the ascendancy of Protestant prin- ciples. While I feel grateful to those illustrious Peers ( doubly noble by their conduct on that occa- sion) who stood in the gap, and saved this free and happy country from the danger which menaced it, 1 feel degraded and mortified in reflecting that the Commoners of England had then to look to the Aristocracy alone for the preservation of their liber- and of their religion. Such, my Lord, are the sentiments by which I am influenced iu declining to give you the vote you have solicited, and which ould otherwise have been bestowed upon yon with much gratification to myself. Your Lordship will, am sure, give a candid construction to this undis- guised declaration of my views, and believe uie to remain, Your Lordship's faithful servant, G. C. GORHAM. GENERAL ELECTION. i3jli0ccUai « 0H0 EnteUigcnfc. Since the commitment of Mr. E. G. Wakefield to the Castle of Lancaster, a good deal of the high spirits which he enjoyed has left him, and he appears rather melancholy. During his sojourn at Stockport he was served with a civil process for 41 goods Bold and de- livered." His approaching trial will excite intense interest throughout the country. We have heard that some years ago Mr. E. G. W. was employed as a King's messenger. In the House of Commons, on the last Friday in t he Sessions, one of the most important measures of the whole Sessions was carried into effect; one in those measures which, in any other state of the Parliament, could never have been expccted to sue- ceed. We are here speaking of two resolutions of Lord John Russell; that what is called head money at an election, should be deemed bribery and cor ruption; and that though such money should be fiven after fourteen days, ( the ordinary limits be- yond which no petition against a member's return can be received,) or given at any time before th expiration of IB months, the proof of the fact should in all cases vacate the election. Hitherto, the constant, the uniform, the notorious practice, of half the boroughs of the kingdom, has been to conduct their elections in some mode like the following. An agent for the borough proposes to gentleman to stand as a candidate, and states the terms to be, that fourteen days after the election, that is, after the time of petitioning against the election, has passed, the successful candidate Trill be expected to give two guiueas a- head to the 1000 electors of the borough, and to pay certain agency and law expenses, which, together with such head- money, may amount to two thousand guineas more, the estimated price of a borough- seat. If these terms are accepted, the member is proposed and brought 11 as a matter of course. If the member, upon being so elected, completes his corrupt bargain, and pays the head- money agreed upon fourteen days after the return, and so as to protect himself against a petition, he is a gentleman and a patriot, and no one so fit to represent such an honourable and respectable borough. He accordingly stands again, und is agaiu elected, and so on toties quoties. But if, us some- times happens, having securcd his seat, he ncglects to pay the head- money, his conduct is then unparlia- mentary and unconstitutional; the independent party of the borough is instantly in arms, and it is impos- sible again to trust a man so ignorant of all the principles of the British Constitution, and so un- worthy ofthe confidence of the free and honourable burgesses of such an ancient borough. lie accordingly makes his appearance 110 more. We knovr that this is the case with at least three boroughs at tbe present time, which are now going begging under these circumstances. Lord John Russell's resolutiousare directed against such practices, and the House of Commons have now decided, that head- money, in all circumstances, amounts to bribery and corruption ; and that if any petition, complaining of such practices, he presented to the House within eighteen months after the of- fence committed, the House shall immediately ap- point a Committee to examine into the truth of such allegations, and in the event of their being verified by due evidence, shall declare the election void, and make a report to the House, upon which the House may proceed to consider whether such borough should not be opeued, or altogether disfranchised, and the member, paying the head- money, within the eighteen months, prosecuted, as a matter of course, criminally, for bribery. The Committee is to examine witnesses on oath, and to be constituted precisely on the model of the M. CHARERT— At White Conduit House, about three hundred persons had assembled in the gardens; amongst the company were several elegant females'. Monsieur Chabert's first performance was, the swal- lowing of a quantity of phosphorus. Happening to stand near the exhibitor's table, lie invited us to weigh out the phosphorus, and to taste the puri pater, with which he washed down the aconite. Wi accordingly administered to the gentleman a dose of sixty- four grains; enough, we imagine, to have proved a quietus. We observed, however, that th< J pure water was . strongly impregnated with an alkali ( soda), aud we need scarcely observe, that any of the fixed alkalis would have the effect of neutralizing the phosphorus, and destroying' its qualities in the Stomach. There was a similar exhibition of swallow ing a quantity of arsenic, some of which was fused Over charcoal, to convince the by- slanders, by. the smell, that it was Ihe real poison. To us, howeve it appeared that it was merely metallic arsenic, th swallowing of which might be done with impunity at lea* t to the extent to which Monsieur Chuber received it into his stomach. All of this was void of amusement ; but it was different with the pyrotechnic exhibition. Monsieur Cbsbert first poured nitric acid upon metallic filings, mixed ( we suppose) with sulphur, lo form pyrites; these he suffered fairly to ignit « in tlie. palm of his hand, and retained the burning mass some time, although a small quantity ignited iu our hand quickly made us glad to plunge it into water. Monsieur Chabert then deliberately rubbed a hot shovel over his skin, through his hair, and finally upon the tongue. This was very fairly done. The next feat was that of swallowing boiling oil. We tried the thermometer in the oil, and found it rose to 340 degrees. M. Chabert swallowed a few table- spoonsful of this Burning liquid, which perhaps might have cooled to about 320 degrees, between the taking the oil from the saucepan and the putting it into his mouth. A gentleman in the company then came forward, and dropping lighted sealing- wax upoii M, Chabert's tongue, took the impression of his seal. This, we suppose, is what is called scaling a man's mouth. But now came the grand and terrific ex hibition— the entering the oven. We had the curiosity to apply the test of the thermometer to the inside of the oven, and found the maximum of heat to be 220 degrees. M. Chabert, being dressed hi a loose black linen robe, rendeied, he assured us, as fire- proof ns Asbestos, by a chemical solution, entered the oven amidst the applause of the spectators. He continued in the fiery furnace, and, after a suspense of about twelve minutes, again appeared to the spectators, bearing the beef- steak fully dressed, which he had taken into the oven with him raw. M. Chabert also exhibited to us the thermometer, which he had taken into the oven with him at 60 degrees, and which \ vtii now up to 590 degrees. We need not say that the bulb had been kept in the burning embers, of which il bore palpable signs. This was a mere trick— for M. Chabert really bore the oven heated to 220 degrees for full twenty minutes. Whether we were emulous of Paul Pry, and peeped under the iron door of ihe oven, and beheld the beef steak and leg of mutton cooking upon a heap of charcoal and embers concealed in the corner of the oven, we must not say, 44 it were too curious to consider matters after that maimer." We are only doing justice to Monsieur Chahert in saying, lhat he is the best of fire- eaters we have yet seen.-— English Chronicle. WELSH I ROW COMPANY. MR. " VP ILKS'S BILLS. A general meeting of the subscribers to the above company took place at the London Tavern on Friday ; Peter Moore, Esq. in the chair; for the purpose of electing a solicitor to the company, in the room of Messrs. Wilks and Verbe. ke, Mr. Newman, the city • solicitor, Mr. Chatfield, of the firm of Davis and Cbaffield, Mr. Robinson, anil Mr.' Wood. Mr. Latigsford, one of the Directors, stated, that in consequence of some discussion haviug taken place at the board relating to Mr. Wilks's excessive law bills, which amounting to the enormous sum of between £ 4,000 and £ 5,000, Mr. Wilks was induced to tender his resignation, and that two days after- wards he made his appearance at the board, and slated that it was utterly impossible for the com pany's affairs to go on without his being the solicitor, their affairs being in his power, but that there was a condition of his return, which would depend on the resignation of Mr. Langsford. That gentleman assured the meeting, that Mr. Wilks was entirely mistaken, in supposing that no other solicitor could be found capable of managing the affairs of the com- pany ; and having discharged his own duty, as a director, with a zeal and an attention which could be best, appreciated hy the shareholders themselves, it was for them, by whom he had been elected to his situation of director, to decide whether they would accept Mr. Wilks as a candidate, and displace him from the direction, or acquiesce in the resignation already tendered. A Shareholder stated to the meeting, that Cord- tallon estate had been purchased by the company for £ 65,000, which money had long since been paid, but HO assignment of tlw property had taken place, though the deed of conveyance had been ready for execution for a considerable' time past, and if that deed were not executed immediately, the consequence might be extremely detrimental to the interests of the company, as the gentleman from whom it was pur- chased was now in a dying state. It was due lo that gentleman to state that he had always been anxious to convey over the property. This brought forth an explanation that Mr. Wilks was in possession of the title deeds and other papers, which he retain d until his law- bill should be paid, and be was uuwilling to give them up, notwithstand- ing the extreme urgency of the case, and ihe as- surance that when his bills, which . were now by mutual consent referred to an eminent solicitor, had undergone investigation, aud the amount fairly due to him ascertained, the money would be faithfully paid him. Mr, YVm. Clark expressed his astonishment that the papers should be withheld under such circum- stances, and recommended an immediate application to be made to Mr. Wilks, contending that any pro^ fessional man withholding papers to secure the pay- ment of what might possibly turn out to be an unjust demand, or to do injury to the company, when he had deserted his situation as a solicitor merely because he had the power to do injury, would that moment proclaim himself a dishonourable character. Such conduct he ( Mr. Clark) could not find in his heart lo attribute to- Mr. Wilks, who no doubt would deliver up the papers, upon a proper application being made to hitft. under such circumstances. He bore testimony to the high character of Mr. Langsford, and expressed his opinion that whatever might he ihe professional [ Skill of Mr. Wilks, it would be much more for the jhtmour aud advantage of the company, that Mr. Laugsford should continue in the direction than that Mr Wilks should be reinstated in his situation. Mr. Langsford having spoken in favour of Mr. Wilks's professional conduct during the time that gentleman was solicitor to the company, Mr. Clark said he felt it due to Mr. Verbeke to repay the good opinion which he entertained of him ; but in choosing a solicitor to the company, the interests of the com pany should, io ail cases, form the first consideration of the shareholders, aud as there were other highly • es pee table gentlemen candidates for the solicitorship, of great experience and ability, he would recommend an adjournment of the meeting, to afford the share- holders aii opportunity of judging for themselves who was the fittest person to be their solicitor, and the candidates for office a fair opportunity of canvassing the proprietary, to do which sufficient time had not been afforded. It appearing, however, to the meeting that no time should be lost under the peculiar circumstances of tbe company, the election was proceeded with, and upon a ballot being taken, Mr. Verbeke was elected by a majority of 65, the votes being 111 for him, and 40 for the city solicitor. The other candidates were but ind i ffereu 11 y su p ported, Mr. Verbeke was declared duly elected. It appears that of £ 200,000, the capital subscribed to, £ 190,000 or thereabout, had been paid up. At the conclusion of the business Mr. Wilks made his appearance in the room, and apologized for being what he called a Paul Pry ou the occasion, but he Id not allow the meeting to separate without assuring them of the conscious integrity with which he had discharged his duties as solicitor to the corn pany, and the anxiety which he should always feel for ts - interests and success, although he had no lo lager the honour to be their solicitor. He was proceedin in this eulogistic strain, when Mr. Clark said, he would be a Paul Pry also, and have a few last words, deeming it only candid and fair to re- state in Mr. Wilks's presence what he had said regarding the papers belonging to the company, and repeat tvis persuasion that Mr. Wilks would not rfsk his character and reputation by withholding them, Mr. Wilks was silent. The meeting then separated/ AN INGENIOUS ROGUE— Perhaps, for ingenuity, the following trick, played by a Russian, in Moscow, would not be surpassed in London or Paris. A respectable looking man fell pens, t less iu Ihe street from a fit, when a person in the crowd started for- ward exclaiming, " Oh my master! my poor master!" He now very coolly transferred ihe contents of the unfortunate gentleman's pockets into his own, not forgetting his watch, and then, with all the concern imaginable, requested Ihe persons near him to watch his poor master, while he ran to procure an equipage lo cany him home. Being observed lo pass a coach- stand without stopping, the cheat was detected, but it was too late, for lie contrived to get clear off wilh his booty.— Tlolmari* Travels in Russia. GAMING ANECDOTE.— At Spa, Count Zenobio related lo me an incident that he had witnessed here a tew years ago, which had produced a most uncom- mon interest and effect. A short thin man, whom nobody knew but by sight, suddenly became a con- stant attendant at the gaming tables. This man during a whole fortnight, continued, night after night, in the most extraordinary manner, to win eiiormous ( sums of the faro bankers, as well as the surrounding betters. He wore spectacles and appeared so short sighted, that he was obliged to touch the counters with his nose before he could distinguish the lard. Such was his luck, that whatever card he backed was sure to win. On the last night of his appearance in Spa, one of tho gamesters, a youug half intoxicated Irishman, had lost an unusual heavy sum. His tem- per was quite gone, and he vituperated his lucky opponent in a style that might have edified the most abusive fishwoman in Billingsgate. 4 D— u you, you old dog,' he cried, 4 and most particularly d— n your spectacles ! By the powers, see if I wont try my luck myself in your cursed spectacles!' and snatching them from him, he put them on his own face. At first he could distinguish nothing, but on approaching the cards within three inches of his nose, he discovered that the spectacles were strong magnifiers. His suspicion aud curiosity were immediately excited, and he turned to demand an explanation of the wearer, but he was gone. An examination then commenced, and the cause of this wonderful con- tinuity of luck was speedily discoveied. The cards in Spa are not bought of shopkeepers, as in England, but every autumn the proprietors of the gaming tables repair to the grand fair at Leipzig, and. there purchase their stock for ihe year. Thither the spectacle gentleman had also hied, not as a buyer but as a seller of cards ; and at srach a reduced rate, and of such excellent quality, that all the purchasers re sorted to him ; and Spa, and several other towns were literally stocked solely with his cards. At'the back of each of these, concealed amongst the ornaments, and so small as to be imperceptible to the unassisted eye, was its number, with a particular variation to denote the suit. Then the rogue came to Spa dis- CHUUCH OF SCOTLAND.— There has been a warm discussion in the General Assembly of the- Church of Scotland, on the question whether the same person ought to be allowed to hold ihe office of a Parochial Minister and a Principal or Professor in a University. It is contended by the party opposing these unions, that they are contrary to ihe spirit of the Ecclesiasti- cal Constitution of Scotland, and that religion and learning equally suffer from them. The duties of a parochial Minister, they say, ought to engross his whole attention'; and if he fill at the same time the office of Minister and Professor, he must either do injustice to his Hock or injustice to his scholars. The Lord President of the Court of Session made use of the following arguments in favour of pluralities: — 44 lie could not refrain ( he said) from expressing his most unqualified astonishment that the Clergy of any established Church, and especially of the Church of Scotland, and most especially the strictest and most ! laborious class of that Clergy, should endeavour utterly and for ever to disqualify themselves from holding the office of Professors in ihe Universities of Scotland. For his own part, his Lordship would wish to behold not only the Theological and Philosophical chairs, but every chair in the University, filled by Ministers of the Gospel ; aud so impressed was lie with a sense of the importance of the proper education and instruction of youth, that he would rejoice, if possible, to see those of Law and Medicine filled by such men. Nor did he know any situation where more good could be. done to the rising generation than in these two l* i$ k- mentinned branches of study. It was, indeed, a daiigerous situation in which the Church of Scotland was now placed, and there never was greater need for caution and circumspection in the measure now under consideration. Did the Assembly but see the number of young men of this country who were educated in England, and who went to complete their studies at the Colleges of England— who entered into situations in the army and navy, where all was Episcopal in the form of religion, and where the little zeal they might have for the Presbyterian mode of worship would doubtless be speedily extinguished, there could be but one opinion on this important sub- ject. Was not this an interesting'— a dangerous situ- ation for the cause of Presbyterian worship, that it should become the religion of the lower orders of the people only, and not that of the aristoeratical part of the community ? Let the House take up an almanack, and look over the list of her Peers, and reckon how many of them were in communion with the Church of Scotland ; let the Assembly look around the country parishes, and count how many of the gentry there were Episcopalians; let the Members look around them in this city, and behold the spires and turrets of Episcopacy rising on every hand, and could they say, there was no danger to be apprehended ? His Lord- ship was far from casting any slur upon Episcopalians ; he honoured and reverenced them iis a body, and as individuals. But was the Assembly to shake the hold they yet had upon the affections of the country, by a measure so imprudent and impolitic as the present? His Lordship could not but hint at the no small degree of inconsistency on the subject of pluralities and union of offices. There were offices in the gift of the As- sembly which vvere not filled by Clergymen, aud he could not understand the principle upon which these were disposed of." Upon a division of the Assembly, the anti- pluralists were completely outvoted, the numbers being 170 to 105, which is thirty- nine more than the majority of last year. gnisei:!-— with biaekeued hair and spectacles ; and there as a gentleman gambler, would have broken all the banks in Spa, but for the fury of tbe enraged Irishman.

SPORTING SCENE I* APRICA.— By sunrise ( on the 5th of February, says the author) I was on the borders of Tchad lake, armed for the destruction of the multitude of birds, who, all unconscious of my purpose, seemed, as it were, to welcome our arrival. Flocks of geese and wild ducks, of a most beautiful plumage, were quietly feeding at within half pistol- shot of where I stood ; and not being a very keen or inhuman sportsman, for the terms appear to me lo be synonymous, my purpose of deadly warfare was almost shaken. As I moved towards them they only changed their places a little to the right or left, and appeared to have no idea of the hostility of my intentions. All this was really so hew, that I hesitated to abuse the confidence with which they regarded me, and very quietly sat down to contemplate the scene before me. Pelicans, cranes, four and five feet in height, grey, variegated, and white, were scarcely so many yards from my side, and a bird, between a. sn'fpe and a woodcock, resembling both, and larger than cither, immense spoonbills of a snowy whiteness, widgeon, teal, yellow- legged plover, and a hundred species of ( to me at least) unknown water fowl, were sporting before me; and it was long before 1 could disturb the tranquillity of the dwellers on these waters by firing a gutf. The soil near ihe edges of the lake was a firm dark mud; and, in proof of the great overflowings and recedings of ihe waters, even iu this advanced dry season, the stalks of the gussub, of the preceding- year, were standing in the lake, more than forty yards from the shore. The water is sweet and pleasant, and abounds with fish, which the natives have a curious way of catching. Some thirty or forty women go into the lake, with their wrappers brought up between their legs, and tied round their middles, as I should say, by single files, and forming a line at some distance in the water fronting the land, for it is very shallow near the edges, and absolutely charge the fish before them so close, that they are caught by the hand, or leap upon the shore. Wc purchased some, and the best- flavoured was a sort of bream. Quitting Lnri, we immediately plunged into a thickly- planted forest of acacias, with high underwood; and at the distance of only a few hundred yards from the town, we came upon large heaps of the elephants' dung, forming hillocks three and four feet iu height, and imarks of their footsteps : the tracks of these animals increased as we proceeded. Part of the day our road lay along the banks of the^ Tchad, and the elephants' footmarks, of an immense sise, and only a few hours Old, were in abundance. Whole trees vvere broken down where they had fed ; and where they had reposed lheir ponderous bodies, young trees, shrubs aud underwood, had been crushed beneath their weight. We also killed, thi$ day, an enormous snake, a species of coluber ; it was a most disgusting, horrible animal, but not, however, venomous. It measured eighteen feet from the mouth to the tail ; it was shot by five balls, and was still moving off, when two Arabs, with each a sword, nearly severed the head from the body. Oil ^ opening the belly, several pounds of fat were found, and carefully taken off by the two native guides who accompanied us : this they pronounced a sovereign remedy for sick and diseased cattle, and much prized among them. Scarcely a mile further, a drove of wild red cattle, which I al firsl took for deer, were seen bounding to the west. 1 had no gun, but got extremely closv to them, and found that they were that the Arabs call 4 bugra- hammar- wahash, ( red cow wild). They appeared lo partake of the bullock and buffalo, with a tuft or lump on the shoulder.— Denhanis Travels in Africa, HARAM OF THE MOGUL.— As the climate obliges the ladies of the haram to wear only very light dresses, ihcre are some manufactured of silk of so fine a texture, that the whole dress does not weigh more than an ounce? They repose in these dresses, which they change in the morning, casting aside the former as of no further use. Every day they assume « dregs of a different colour. They are adorned besides with an immense quantity of jewels; the collar of their robe is bordered with two bands of diamonds enchased iu the centre of two rows of pearls, crossing upon the stomach. Thtir earrings and bracelets are of surprising beauty. Their fingers and also their toes, which are bare, ( the feel being covered with sandals only,) are ornamented equally with the most beautiful rings. All the wives of the Mogul, and att the princesses his daughters, carry, on the thumb" of the right hand, in the form of a ring, a small looking- glass, bordered wilh pearls. They cast thvW' eyes incessantly upon this mirror; it is with them the occupation of every moment. Their most b « - coming ornament is a golden girdle of the breadth of two lingers, enriched with jewels ; mantles of tho same metal are suspended to it, sewn with diamonds, whose points are terminated by knots of pearls. What is very surprising is, that each of these ladies has a change of six or eight sets of these pearls.— Catrou's Mogul Dynasty. The spirit of litigation was, perhaps, never car- ried to a greater extent, than in fhe cause between two eminent potters of Handley- green, Stafford- shire, for a sum of two pounds nine shillings and one penny. After being in Chancery eleven years, from 1749 to 1760, it was put an end to by John Morton and'Handle Wilbraha » i, Esqrs. to whom it was referred ; when they determined, that th ® complainant filed his bill without any cause, and that he was indebted to the defendant at the same* time the sum for which he had brought this action. This they awarded him to pay, with a thousand guineas of costs! COUNTERFEIT COIN.— Ou Saturday evening, aa some boys were searching for birds' nests near New Hall Quarry, on the Dewsbury- road, they- perceived some bits of straw hanging out of a dry wall. They removed some of the stones, and found,, to their surprise, a quantity of counterfeit coin, in a canvas bag. This booty prompted them to institute a still further search, in doing which.- they found in similar packages counterfeit half- crowns, shillings, and sixpences, to an inimeuaa amount. The Magistrates have cautioned tha. public against receiving any such coin, and have intimated that prosecutions will immediately bo commenced against persons who may be found unlawfully in possession of the same. The half- crowns are dated 1818, and the shillings and sixpences in 1819'. The exact amount in hatf- crowns is £ 253.15s.; in Shillings, £ 190. lis."; in sixpences, £ 15. 3s,; making a total of £ 459. 9s- The workmanship is such as may be detected by a slight examination. The half- crowns are very badly milled. Two silver watches were found with the coin. The preparations for the general election absorb the whole public interest of the day. The AntU Catholic feeling seems to be as strong throughout the greater part of the country as in 1807; even in some of the manufacturing towns, where what is called liberality makes" the most head, the pre- vailing sentiments prove top much for all former political predilections.

Speaking of doctors, I believe the first great hoax ever practised, occurred about this period ( 1782). Physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries9 amounting, at least, to the number of fifty, received letters to attend at ten o'clock in the morning-, on a well- known wealthy lawyer, residing close to tho Thames, at the end of Essex- street, which wa » then as it is now, a complete cul- de- sac. Soon, after the appointed hour, six carriages arrived, then, in an instant, many more. After much parley, rage,, and confusion, some of the doctors* finding they had been deceived, ordered their coachmen to turn, and drive to their real patients. Then came the hoaxers' triumph— above twenty medical flats were preparing to get out of tha street, while a more than equal number were a » violently struggling to get into it. This small cul- de- sac being now completely blockaded, th © original cause of action was, as usual, speedily forgotten; and the doctors and their servants passed the remainder of the morning in polemical disquisitions in an alto key, and in general abuse and retort. Though some invalids suffered, per- haps, by this jest, others, in their own opinion, benefitted; at least, Lord Effingham used to say, 4 To this facetious event X owe my life, for I sent for Doctor C and he could not come? Undoubtedly his lordship was not very partial to the faculty; for once, when my brother Richard said, ( What a wonderful climate Green- land must be, since the natives live there to th ® age of one hundred years, without medical men;' his lordship replied, 1 Then what a much more wonderful climate England must be, since thojr live here one hundred years with them!' To recur to the subject of pocketing affronts—• My brother Jack, late one evening- in January, proceeding in his gig to Southbarrow, was stopped on Bromley- hill by a hig'hwaytnan, who, presenting a pistol, furiously demanded his money. I will no* say that Jack took fright, but his horse did, and with a violent plunge, galloped off at full apeed. The hig hwaynian's foot being struck by the wheel, he was immediately unhorsed, and dashed on the ground; while his horse, now left to its own guidance, mechanically followed the vehicle. Jack, in total ignorance of the whole proceeding, hearing the horse behind the g'ig, naturally concluded th ® highwayman was in full pursuit, and expected every moment to have his brains brown out. However, on entering the town, he discovered hi » error, to his great relief; and stopping at the inn, and desiring to speak to the landlord, he related the circumstance, and then delivered the horse to, him : ordering it to be immediately advertised according to the usual form— 4 If not owned, nor demanded, within ten days from the date hereof, it will be peremptorily sold to defray expenses.* As may be supposed, the horse was neither owned nor claimed, so therefore sold; and Jack, pocketing the affront, cleared upwards of thirty pounds by what he called 4 robbing a highwayman SHREWSBURY : PRINTED and published BY W. & J.
