Shropshire Auxiliary Bible Society. On Wednesday last, the Anniversary Meeting of this Society was held in the Town Hall, Shrewsbury, which was crowded with elegantly dressed females. The Rev. Archdeacon CORBETT, ( the President,) pened the business of the day; after which, the Report was read by the Rev. THOMAS WEAVER, one of the Secretaries.— It appeared from the report that the Auxiliary Society had, in the last year, distri- buted 2376 Bibles and Testaments, and, in the same period it had transmitted £ 500 for the general pur- poses of the Parent Society, and expended £ 550 in the purchase of Bibles and Testaments. The Rev. Archdeacon CORBETT, on moving that the Report should be adopted, said— VVe are again met together for the one self- same, simple, and avowed object* that of forwarding the distribution of GOD'S Word ; and whatever does not bear upon this object has no part in our present deliberations. We do not meet to consider whether different deductions may have been drawn from Ihis Word, imich less it's sup- posed bearings upon any topic of present controversy or political import; but we riteet to aid that great exertion that tio'v* making to place a copy of Ihe Bible in the hands of all men, that, if it is not their own faults, they may study and obey, and in that obedience prove that the record is true. Although, then, our object is one, single, and simple, still it is he most important in which we can engage; and should any one doubt this assertion, let them try it by the plainest proof possible. 1 speak, iudeed, with great deference, to persons much belter than my- self; but slill, I venture to say, though this world not strictly a state of retribution, yet, let us examine our past lives, and then observe whether our joys would not, in all probability, have been greater or less interrupted, had they been undertaker! and con ducted in stricter accordance to this holy rule of living or dying? whether some of our sorrows might not have received greater alleviations? whether other would not have been entirely prevented, had we walked more exactly in the path < f Christian direc- tion ? whether, in short, our happiness has not diminished or increased, in proportion as we have followed the wisdom of this world, or the wisdom evealed from on high? Wheresoever and by whom- soever the sacred page is fairly consulted, the same general conclusion will be arrived at; and we have now testimony to this truth, through the correspond- ence of the British and Foreign Bible Society, from almost all people, nations, and languages: and in a Report from the South African Bible Society we read, lhat one of the natives of that benighted country having received a copy of the Scriptures was enabled, upon subsequent enquiry, to make this answer-— u I would not part with my Bible for all the world, for I find in it all that I want both of consola- tion and encouragement in time and in eternity.'* This, then, is the feeling we seek to draw forth and satisfy; and we cannot sufficiently admire the steady and persevering endeavours that are making for Ihis purpose, or the richncss of the blessing that has descended on those endeavours, for the example of Britain is now followed ( more or less) in all quarters of the globe,— their infant societies have been reared or cherished by grants of money or of books from the Parent Society, and whenever the resources of Ihose emulating this example have failed or fanltered, recourse has still been had to lhat primeval spring which burst forth some years since in the metropolis of our empire, and which has been so fed by its SHERIFF'S OFFICE, SHREWSBURY, JULY 3, 1820. 7\ 70 TICE is hereby given, That the AS 1 » SIZES for the County of Salop, will be held at Shrewsbury, in ancl for the said County, TUESDAY, the 18th Day of July instant. The Judges will go to Church on Tuesday Evening, and will proceed to Business in both Courts at Ten o'Clock precisely on Wednesday Morning.— The Jurors must be in Attendance by Nine o'Clock on Wednesday Morning, and bring their Summonses with them.

HUE PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are so well known throughout Shropshire, and indeed throughout Ihe Kingdom al large, for the Cure of Ihe above Disorders, and without ihe Aid of Mercury or of aov Surgical Iteration, lhat any Comment on their Virtues is quite unnecessary. As a Purifier of the Bloorl they nre unrivalled in their Effects. And their Efficacy has been attested iu numberless Instances; many of Ihem on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over ihe Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, nnd over ihe more established Prescriptions of the Regular Faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DEBILITY, TURN or LIFE, and anv oilier Affliction of the Boilv arising from changed or vitiated System, the PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS may be relied upon for s certain and speedy Cure. N.

A most valuable and certain Medicine here at the expense and hy Ihe desire of Ihe Edin- burgh Bible Society; and I had Ihe further pleasure of observing Ihe oblation was not made in vain, as all the copies I saw bore evident rnaiks of having been perused more or less. Since then 1 found, at Ihe Red Lion inn, at Henley- wpon. Thames, similar provision made for " way- faring men"*— the sanie authentic record of lhat " highway," in which we are told " they shall not err," being placed in the different rooms at the sole expense of the benevolent landlady, Mrs. Dickson. And 1 was further reminded lately of Ihe advantage of a wide location of Bibles, when I had occasion to call nt ihe town house of our Right Uev. Patron. 1 was shewed into a dining parlour, to await his Lordship's relurit— ihe first object lhat met nly eve was that book from which Ihe e\ e of no man can be long averted without peril or inconvenience; here then was a resource against the tiresomeness and loss of time occasioned iiv waiting, and one from whiifi pleasure and profit may be derived, if it is not the fault of the person to whom the circumstance occurs.— But I will only add, we meet here to see how our account stands, and what further remains to he done. The Report from our Committee is, upon the whole, gratifying, hut I wish not to consider these as days of congratulation, so much as days of exhorta- tion. IVe come here, I hope and humbly trust, in love to God and iu love to our fellow- creal ures, and may we endeavour to fulfil Ibe Apostolic injunction, hy provoking one another" more aud more lo this u love" and to this 14 good work." The motion was seconded by the Rev. W. GILPIN, of Pulverbatch. PANTOS COUBETT, Esq. M. P. on moving the thanks of the meeting to the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, said— In rising to make this motion, I cannot but express my regrei that it has not fallen into the hands of those more competent to do it justice; at the Same time this regret is much lessened by the considera- tion that the Right Rev. Patron of this Society is so well known, and his virtues and merits are so well appreciated, that any attempt to dilate upon them might be deemed impertinent. Incomtnoit with the rest ofthe members of the Society, I most sincerely regret his Lordship's absence, and I have authority for saying he sincerely regrets it himself. It was his intention to be present, and I have seen a letter addressed by him to my respected father, announcing that intention.*- 1 shall not detain this assembly further, than by expressing the pleasure I have in moving our vote of thanks to one so high in distinc- tion in the Church, and who takes so much interest in the welfare of the Society; and I beg to add, that there is no man more anxious to promote the circula- tion of the Scriptures than mysel f, nor more in terested in all that concerns the prosperity of this and similar Institutions The motion was seconded by the Rev. R. N. PEM- BIRTOS. The R, ev. Archdeacon CORUKTT shortly returned thanks on behalf of his Lordship, and observed that his Lordship had expressed himself highly pleased with the proceedings ofthe former meeting, at which he was present. Col. KNYVETT LEIGHTON briefly, but cordially, proposed the vote of thanks to the President; which was seconded, in a concise and impressive manner, by the Rev. THOMAS WEAVER. Rev.. Archdeacon CORBETT.— Front the patient attention which was given to my first address, I am induced to trespass but very shortly on your time contributory streams, lhat il has hitherto been enabled I shall only express my sincere thanks to the worthy to answer these mighty solicitations. Tiie soond of 1 mover and seconder for their kindness, and for the honour done me, in bringing forward this motion its munificence, as well as of tbe Word it fosters gone out into all lands, and we hear from afar of Ihe. charities of our country, and of the impression those charities have made in its favour; and to mention one among a multitude, 1 would say, lhat we now hear from tbe plains of Olympus, instead of the imposing fables of ihe Paynim faith so long identified with that region, that New Testaments, translated under the auspices of Ihe London Society, are added to and to this good company for the manner in which it has been received. The Rev. J. WILD ® said—" I am requested to propose the motion of thanks to the Vice- Presidents at the same time I am persuaded they consider them- selves more honoured by the cause, than they besto honour upon it by the sanction of their names.— This institution has been so ably defended, that for some ihe school books in the diocese of Bursa, w hilst Ihe time it appeared to me to require little more, either Archbishop of that diocese hails this second spread of I in answer to the objection of its opponents, or in Gospel Light, and hails the people of England as Ibe I support of its pretensions, than to refer to the good authors, under Providence, of that blessed diffusion. I it annually does, as recorded in the several reports. But, i( the superlative terms of our language had and the approbation it receives from those in every been less abused than they have been by trivial appli- quarter of the globe.

Societies have done or are doing. Their utility can only be known by reading the monthly extract annual reports of the Parent Society, but here again ihe transactions are so numerous and important, lhat to detail those of any one year, or of a much less portion of time, would far exceed that allotted to such meetings as the present. But whoever will possess themselves of Ihe real facts of Ihis case must, I think, consider it a privilege to share in ihis great and good work; must consider it a privilege to assist freighting vessels for that holy voyage, lhat circum- navigation of piety, which, under the banner of the cross, have not only passed the straits of Dover and entered within those of the Mediterranean, but have traversed the Atlantic and the Indian oceans, and sailed among the islands of the southern sea; and when we hear from deputies sent to examine some of the Missions established in these last and lately disco- vered islands, lhat Ihey never, in times of the greatest distress in this country, witnessed more anxiety for mo- ney or for food, than they witnessed in these poor island- for leave to purchase a copy of the Bible, that nothing can exceed the care they take of their Bible, or their diligence in perusing it: when, I say, we receive these and other similar accounts, may we not turn, in all humility indeed, but still with some complacency, to the declaration of the prophet,• u Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters." And let us be truly thankful that this season of seed time is not neglected by the Societies of this county. We hear from the Parent Society's lale Report, lhat the aggregate receipt from the Auxiliary Societies in the last year was less than that of former years; but whatever this defalcation is, uo accusation lies against us on that account. Dejected as we have been by the loss of many early aud liberal subscribers, whose places are not yet sufficiently supplied, we have been so favoured in less certain contributions, that when I had the honour of addressing yon from this place last year, I was able to slate that our remittance for ihe past year had amounted to the unprecedented sum of £ 960; and you will perceive by the Report just read, that the word unprecedented may be applied lo Ihe remittance of the last year, inasmuch as it amounts lo £ 1050: but, liberal as this sum is, I hope I shall not give offence, by saying I do not consider it large as compared with the extent and population of this county,— and we have been very properly reminded by the Report from our Committee, how small proportion all the exertions yet made bear to the end in view. We rejoice, indeed, very properly, ami rejoice with gratitude, that through this Institution some millions of Bibles have been added to the stock in hand, but then we must remember that there are some hundreds of millions of our fellow- creatnrcs who still want Ihis first nnd best gift. But inde- pendent of the 44 Heathen", who claim a joint share in Ihe44 inheritance" of Ihis treasure: independent of the 44 uttermost parts of the earth," to whom we wish to render it as a 44 possession ;" and independent of the wants of more civilized nations, still the outline of the plan proposed at home is not yet filled up. Great exertions have been made to ascertain in very many districts what houses are destitute of a Bibley and great exertions have also been made to supply such wants; yel, admitting that each house had Bible, which 1 fear is by no means Ihe case, yet when we consider that this book is our only sure stay either In prosperity or adversity,—- that we cannot without frequent recurrence to the law of our God, live as we ought to do either fo this world or the next, then I would say, we must not only wish for a Bible in every house, but almost iu every apartment. When 1 was al Dnmbreck's hotel in Edinburgh^ several years since, 1 had the pleasure to find Bibles in the different rooms 1 was in, and 1 was told the same extended through the house. They were placed specting it, which it may be well to notice. It has been sneered at by 9ome, as originating in Fanati cism, and supported chiefly by persons of that turn But what isthesubject, and what the object of these Bible Institutions? The subject is the wisdom of God— the object, to bring all men to the knowledge ofthe truth. IIow to distribute the words of truth and soberness, the antidote of fanaticism, can never hare originated out of its spirit, or tend to excite it in others.— But it has been said by others that it will lead its members to compromise the doctrines,- be indifferent to the form and ritual of their own communion ; especially the members ofthe Church But if our Church be apostolical, the readiest an surest way to establish that claim is ( what thes< institutions do) to put the records upon which it i: founded into the hands of all. From my own ex. perience I can say, that the more I investigate that claim, by searching these records, the firmer am rivetted in attachment to that church to which belong; and this I say without the slightest disre spect to those who may differ from me.— But these institutions have not only been ignorantly sneered at by some, and unjustly objected to by others, but sometimes misconceived and misrepresented even by their friends, They have been held up as the badge of a party— the criteria of an evangelical spirit, But, Sir, I think all badges, all outward mark more productive of evil than good. They originate frequently in ostentation, and end in hypocrisy They may be assumed by the bad as well as worn by the good. The Pharisees were great dealers in them, and who more ostentatious and hypocritical than they?— But there are |\ vo points of view in which the Society may be regarded with pleasure and advantage. It displays, as with a sun- beam, this one glorious privilege— this great Protestant boast— viz. the liberty of free enquiry, and the right of private judgment; equally the glory of the Churchman, as the protection ofthe Dissenter, this glorious privilege, in its practical result, h been objected the various discordant, opinions vvliic have sprung up in the Reformed Church ; but would be easy to shew that there are as many an discrepant opinions in that communion where the right is denied as in those where it is insisted upon. These institutions seem calculated to promote that spirit of charity which is the bond of porfeet- ness. Here all its members acknowledge one only Master— one only invisible Head ; there is their Supremacy— one only rule of practice. The Bible, then, is their infallibility ; and this one faith should keep all its members steadfast iu this one practice—- of regarding and acting towards each other as brethren." Rev. D. HUGHES seconded the mot ion .-" He ob- served, that much had certainly been done in our towns, our villages, and our cottages, towards pro- moting the circulation of the Scriptures; but that, although hundreds of thousands of copies of the Scriptures had thus been distributed, still the fields were white for the harvest,- and the labourers were very few iudeed. Since the Bible Society had been established, more attention had been paid by the rich to the welfare of the poorer classes than for the century preceding; and prior to the establish- ment ofthe Society, the great men ofthe natioirhad never thought of reviving the ancient churches in Europe and Asia,-— they had never entertained an idea of giving new energy to the churches of Antiocb and Jerusalem, or to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, to wrhom St. John wrote, and whom iudeed, they found having a name to live, but pos- sessing little of the living principle, groaning, as they had been for ages, under the yoke of . the oppressor. Our great men were now induced to extend their charity to these ancient churches, and to pray to the Great Head of the Church, that he' would be pleased to revive them, to raise them up, and to restore them to their ancient glory. The1 commandment ofthe Redeemer to his followers was,' that they should 44 go out into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature/' There seemed, however, to be an opinion among many persons that the task of converting the heathen was an hopeless one, arid that the mill^ niam must come first, These persons forget that all reforms in the wot Id have been brought about by human means,; and by the instrumentality of that Holy Volume,' the circulation of which the meeting was assembled to promote. The Bible Society, like St. John the Baptist, may be considered as one preparing the way for this ereat work, of which the first- fruits' only had been reaped, the great harvest being yet to come. It was not a small thing that tha Bible Society had succeeded in allaying the differ- ences between, and uniting together^ Dissenters and Churchmen, nobles and peasants, rich and poor, in one grand object— that of giving fo the human race," the hope of grace in this life, and of eternal glory in the life which is come. FW twenty- two year* the Bible Society had prosecuted its good work with the most brilliant success., and it was impossible to say how much, under Providence, it might in the! next century be able to accomplish. Mr. PANTON CO^ BE^ T, in behalf of tho Vice- Presidents, returned thanks. The Rev. WiTiF. s CORBETi, ( in the absence of the Rev. Edward Bather,) moved the thanks to thi? Committee; and observed that there was no part of a Christian Minister's duty which could give hiiri much pleasure," as that of rendering his just acknowledgments to: his lay- brethren for the pro- motion Of an institution* whose object it wa^ s to accomplish that portion of our daily prayers, which led us to hope that the will of the Almighty would be done in earth as it wati in Heaven'/—- The Rev. J. NuJtN seconded the motion. R. A. SLANEY, Esq. M. P. said.—\ Ir. President It is quite unnecessary in this assembly to descant pon the importance of Ihe object we are met together to promote, or the advantage to mankind which wiil accrue fro'm its success; but I may be perinitled,- perhaps, Jo say a few words on the times, as propitious to our efforts, anil on the wide field which is opened for our exertions.— For many years during our expe- icnce the nations of the earth were engaged in war; nd, amidst the clang of battles and th'e din of arm*, the still Small voice of reason and religion could scarcely be. Heard, but was drowned and overborne bv he shout of the victors, or by the cries and lamenta- tions of the vanquished. The fierce and violo 4 passions of men were then called into fiery action, an I hey fought their cruel bat tie in the arena of Europe, hose times are happily passed away—^ a milder period has succeeded— peace wilh her ten thousand blessing* has resumed her reign ; and the prejudices and anlu pafhies of nations are gradually eradicated or forgot* ten. Each year, each day, some erro£ is destroyed4 some mistake explained, some vantage ground is gained to truth and human happiness. To those who re the friends of mankind, vt- ho are the advocates of mprovement, who are Ihe disseminators of religion* knowledge, this is the time for renewed effort and bled exertion; each hour brings some new friends to our cause, or removes some obstacle to ii* progress; and petfee hath sent abroad her white* obed messengers of Eternal Truth, to whisper in tlru ar of those who sleep in darkness— 44 Up! for the daylight conieth!"— How hath our situation altered, what wide- spread scenes of hope aud joy expand before I remember, in the lucid pages of the eloquent historian of America, a splendid passage, where he lescribea lhat intrepid adventurer, Balboa, aftef struggling through innumerable difficulties, over- ruling uncounted obstacles, and passing through dangers of every kind, he at length clinrtbed fhe last ascent of those great mountains which divide that glorious country. As he struggled forward, at once he beheld Ihe unknown, unfalhomed, immeasurable* magnificent, Pacific, extending lo Ihe utmost limit* of the horizon. Overcome by that sight, he sunk down in silent adoration to lhat great Being, who had conducted and shielded his footsteps* and made hint the author of a discovery so important to mankind. We ought also to pour out thanks lo the Almighty,' who hath in the same region opened to our eyes ; t prospect as extensive, spread before us au arena of Christian exertion such as ihe world never before saw at one time, and which, in a few brief years, has been changed from darkness to light. That vast country* irrigated by a thousand streams, fertile beyond the wishes of man, more extensive lhan two- thirds of ihe? old world, is now open to receive the Christian Volume. For three centuries it slept Ihe sleep erf death; thi* patrolcs of intolerance guarded erfrh aveuiie to iu people, ami the iron hand of despotism struck out the glimmering of gospel light. The dark clouds of ignorance and bigotry are rolled aWy, Ihe mists aud blights of superstition are removed ; and in their place we see the constitutional forms of practical freedom* and Ihe golden fruits of religious knowledge, beginning lo appear together. Constitutional liberty aud reli- gious improvement are twin gifts of the same Almighty Donor: they are linked together by so many ties ( invisible perhaps to a careless or casual spectator), but so intervvofeu, so numerous, and so strong withal, that no art or malice can sever them, and no force can rend them asunder. To what country can the inhabitants of those vast regions look for instruction and example, but to Britain. In thousands they stand 011 Iheir shores, turning their eyes and stretching out their hands towards us. The beautiful lines which Virgil puts in the mouth of the Trojans, when they first beheld fhe wished- for coasts, might ( changing Britain for Italy) be used by the Americans ;— Italixm, Ttaliamt, primus conclamat. Achates? Italiam lato loeii clamor* saln'tant! Before I conclude, I would address a few words to those ladies who are incliped to aid our cause, not in the unmeaning tone of idle gallantry* not in the empty chime of cuckoo compliment, but, with the voice of deep, earnest, and serious entreaty, to beg Ihem lo Use their influence and opportunities in tb « quiet walks of retired domestic life to uphold and extend our society. Far removed from Ihe public dusty paths of 1' ffe,, from Ihe idle struggles and busi- ness of men, let them exert their mild and gentle influence with Iheir fathers, husbands, and brothers, in favour of the Christian Volume, which declares ihe marriage vow sacred, which teaches the lisping infant the early lessons of eternal light, and from whose instructions flow all Ihe charities and relations which endear domestic life. lu the hour of affliction Ihey will dwell on fhe subject with melancholy pleasure;. it shall solace them in the gloomy chambers of sickness; it shall cheer them where the dearest friends must part— son the dark borders of the grave.— It is my duly now lo m'ove a vote of thanks to I lie Treasurer, Receiver, and Secretaries of ( his Society; antl I do this with the greatest pleasure, for I can, from my own personal knowledge of those Gentlemen, say, lhat more excellent, more zealous, or more assured friends of your Institution do not exist. Rev. M. KENT—- Mr. President,— In rising up to second the motion which has just been made, you will, I hope, bear with me, while I attempt lo say a little in commendation of the Bible and of ibe objects of the Bible Society. The Bible is Ihe best of books; il is the offspring of heaven; and, like ils Divine Author, is full of benevolence and good. will 10 men. It contains in itself Ihose doctrines and ccpts, which, if cordially embraced and pre- ctcd upon by the children of men, would soon change the appearance of our world; instead of scenes of de- pravity, we should behold the beauties of hoMness — the wilderness aud Ihe solitary place would be glad, and the desert would rejoice and blossom as the rose. The Bible is every way calculated to promote civil, social, domestic, and individual happiness. If we consider men as forming communities under different heads, the Bible, if adhered to, would promote ibeir happiness. It vrould teach kings to rule in the fear [ TURN OVEP.] SALOPIAN JiPRNAL, AMP Shropshire Auxiliary bible Society* [ CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE ] I h rSa w a of Got!, ft- si< 1 subjects to honour ( he kin would be established upon < qoi{ ab! e prinfifvlrs— crime* would be lessened— and order and Jmmioin would pievail in evny dirrclion. The nations of the earth, instead of rising up in war against each other, would live in peace, as so many pMtt* of the eoumxtn family of mankind— as the offspring <; f the wmr grrat and Almighty Parent. If we view men in then social capacity, the Bible, if adhered Jo, would pro mote l!. i r happiness: it would deprive thejw « > f all auspicious fears in their dealings with ea< h otvher, and rnspire them with that confidence which. & eeure » - and preserves the harmony of society. The domestic circle, when formed under the influence of the Bible, presents: I he most lovely picture ; the ci mnion ble* s inofi of Pfovidenee are recei> ed with humility and gratitude, and the reception of them imparl* a plea sure never before experienced— conjugal aB'ecl'ion in heightened into that holy Sove which kinds<- d spii iis feel in the ifalms of bliss; the pious parent teaches" his tender offspring to lisp the praises of J< hovah— collects his children mound the family altar, and there, with all the affection of a parent, he present* them before his heavenly Father, and with all the fervour of his piety, prays ".(.), that these hdima. els may live before tlueP' If we look upon men as individuals, the Bible, if adhered to, would promote their happiness; it would comfort them in trial, guide the 111 through difficulty, comfoit them amidst the dissolution of nature, and conduct them to the shores of a blessed immortality. The word of pro- phesy carries our attention forward to a period, when the. Bible shall be universally circulated, when the influence of the Bible shall be universally felt, and When the religion of the Bible shall universally teign. Her sceptre will be righteousness and peace; her throne will be founded injustice; and the ble^ ing* wile will impart will make earth to resemble heaven ; 44 the tabernacle of God will then be with men, and he will dwell among them and be their God." if then, Mr. President, the Bible be so excellent a book; if the influence of the Bible be so beneficial to the children of men, do not those Societies which are formed to spread the knowledge of the Bible claim our patronage and support? Here the Bible Society stands pre- eminent. Its great object is to circulate fhe Bible, not merely within the confines of Britain, but in foreign lands; it wears upon its forehead the glorious and benevolent name of the British and Foreign Bible Society. We rejoice that it is ours to live in a day when persons of all ranks and conditions hi life, and of all denominations of professing Christi ans, are alive to the importance of the object con- templated by this Society. The present meeting is a proof of this. However much we may be separated, from each other in the world by rank ami sentiment, when we come together at these nnniversary meetings to plead the cause of the. Bible, we rise above the cloud* of distinctions and dissent ions, and ascend to a region whose air is Imc— lo ; in atmosphere where bigotry cannot live. The Bible Soeicty, since if » commencement, has maintained a beautiful con sisteuey through evil and through good report, and preserved unalloyed it « purity and simplicity in an evil generation. If, like the sun, there were clouds which gathered at its rising, they have nearly all dispersed, and the thunders with which they were charged are now heard only in the reverberations of a distant and subsiding echo. The Bible Society is identified with our common Christianity, arid, like the sun, shall pursue its majestic march, diffusing1 bright- Bess and blessings aa it proceeds, until, surmounting nil that is high, and outshining all that is fair, it shall be enthro ten in the greatness of might and the perfec- tion of be- tnty, to receive the full homage of an united world. If these things may be said respecting the Fareni institution, may we not speak with equal commendation of those minor Societies which have been brought into existence, and nourished by her, and which, though her children, she can descend to ackowlcdge as her auxiliaries, and to give then) a * harc in those honours which encircle her brow ? The JSbropshhe Auxiliary Bible Society, is one of the children of'this parent. Are not those, then, who watch over the interests of this child, and who labour to promote its vigour, its beauty, and its usefulness, worthy of our warmest acknowledgements? Un- doubtedly they ore. 2 would, therefore, with great cheerfulness and cordiality, second the motion which has'just been made— viz. That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Treasurer, Secretaries, ami Receiver, for their past services, and that they be requested to continue their services fur the ensuing year. The Rfv. JOHN I ANGLBY ( one of the Secretaries), on behalf" of himself and colleagues, returned thanks. C. WALKER, Esq. on rising to move the tlmnks of the meeting to those Ministers who had madje Con- gregational Collections in aid of the Society, adverted to the observation of the Hon. Member ( Mr. Slaney), who had spoken of a state of peace as favourable to the operations of the Bible Society, and said, he ibought it most honourable to the Society, that, without waiting for such a period, it had, amid the conflicts of war, pursued . its glorious work, making even then the still small voice of reason and religion to be heard among1 the nations. PETER POTTER, Esq. in seconding the motion, * aid, that without intending the least disparagement to the Dissenting body, he thought the thanks of the meeting- were particularly due to such of the Clergy of the Established Church as had advocated the Society's causo, as they hod, in their sphere, many obstacles, prejudices, and arguments, to en- counter, which did not intercept the course of the Ministers of other Communions. The REV. J. RICHARDS moved the thanks of the meetiug to tho Ladies' Associations. The Rev. W. URWICK, of Sligo, in seconding the motion of thanks to the Ladies' Bible Associations, expressed the satisfaction he felt in meeting so numerous and respectable an assembly in his native town, convened in aid of the moat sublime and extensive work of christian benevolence which could occupy the thoughts and energies of man. lie referred to the right of every man to read the Bible at » the foundation at once of the Protestant Religion. and of the Bible Society's proceedings, and argued in favour of that principle from the character and claims of the Bible as the oracle of religious knowledge— the charter of our redemption — and the rule of God's moral administiation to the world. The claims of the Society upon public support were to be estimated by its tendencies. It was obvious that a system of operation on the human mind, so widely diffused and so energetically applied a « are the efforts of the Bible Society, must be productive of important results. Its proceedings had produced a greater union of heart among professing christians, by furnishing a common plan of benevolent exertion, in conducting which all denominations may concur without any dereliction or compromise of principle. He also considered the Society calculated to remove those discordancies of sentiment and practice, which are now frequently the occasion of much estranged and hostile feeling. The revelation of the Divine Will in the Scriptures is throughout harmonious, and diversities of opinion and profession in the christian religion can arise only from misinterpret jug the statements of the Bible, or departing from its authority. Let, therefore, the Sacred Volume be consulted and followed as our only infallible guide and we shall soon realize the accomplishment of the Redeemer s prayer for his follower*--, u that they all may be one." The effects of the Bible Society were to be ascertained not from its professions, nor from the addresses of its advocates, however elo- quent and argumentative, but by examining the contents and character of that Book, to distribute which ait its resources were devoted. It was to be apprehended that many of the opponents of the Bible and the Bibl § Society, were not very inti- mately acquainted with it themselves. What person of philosophic mind, who appreciated the dignity of man as an intellectual being, could but devoutly regret the mental debasement which pervades the generality oi' the species? In proportion as their attention is engaged upon the sublime. and heavenly truths of revelation, their capacities of thought • would be enlarged and elevated, and thus would they rise in the scale of intelligence. Especially i » the distribution of the Bible calculated to serve the interests of morals. It exhibits, afc the standard and pattern of human virtue, the character of the Deity— of Him who " is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity," and who " delighteth in mercy"— and the objects of this and similar institutions would not be fully attained, until the impressions of D vine sanctity and love were produced on all the inhabitants of the world. The salutary effects oi the Scriptures on the conduct of man, in the tevora relations and departments of society had been argued by a preceding speaker. The grand achievement of these endeavours is the salvation and happiness of man in a future world. The distribution of the Holy Scriptures was, in one res; cet, a mode of doing good preferable to that adopted by other associations of christian charity. Missionary Societies are valuable, as they send forth men of piety and talent to preach and teach Jesus Christ j but, wi thout underrating tlieir labours, Missionaries themselves are fallible, and a portion of error may accompany the truth in their minis- trations. Religious Tracts had been circulated on a large sealey and had been eminently useful; but Tracts, as the compositions of fallible men, may partake of t heir authors' fallibility. In giving the Bible, we impart the light of heaven, not tinged and obscured as it might be when, transmitted through an intervening medium, but pure and per- fect as it emanated from above. Being a resident in Ireland, it might be expected that he should make some observations in regard to that country. To give the meeting an idea of the ignorance there prevalent in regard to the Word of God, he should take the liberty of reading some extracts from the evidence delivered on oath before the Commissioners for enquiring into the state of Education in Ireland, by Matthew Donelan, Esq. an Inspector of the Kildare Place Education Society. Mr. U. preferred this to submitting any observations of his own, as Mr. Donelan was a Roman Catholic gentleman highly connected in that communion, and his testimony might be con- sidered impartial. Have the objections to the Scriptures being read in the schools by the elder children, always arisen with the Priests, or have they ever been urged by the parent* of the children ? " Never ; if they were not to be influenced by the Roman Catholic Clergy, the poor people would never object ti » it. Do you think the poor people desire it? I do not think they desire it or object to it; they do not know the value of it. Do you find throughout the country a prevailing ignorance of both versions of the Scriptures ? " Ye*; the most ' lamentable instances in our own Kildare Place Schools. I have had the precaution to ask some boys what the New Testament wa's, after they had been reading it for some time, and they . could net tell nre ; but 1 must add, that has been of rare occurrence. ' Do you conceive that to he the result of 110 expla- nation being given ? I cannot say that positively, although I conceive it probable. Do they know that it is the Word of God ? No, they could not tell that even when 1 put the answer in their mouths ; and if the children of our schools are so ignorant with such advantages, I con- ceive their parents must be more so. Do you think jhe peasantry could in most in- stances distinguish between a Testament and any other book of the same size upon a religious subject put; into their hands ? " Upon my word J think they could scarcely do it except where the exertions of the Bible Society have succeeded ; but in tunny parts of Connanght the peasant does not know what a Bible or a Testament is. u Yon never heard of a Book called The Christian Doctrine called the Testament ? tk. Never; but I have spoken to peasants as I have been riding along the road, and asked them if they had any objection to reading the Scriptures, and they ha ve said not. 1 have then asked them if they knew w hat a Testament was, and they have said not; but even among our boys I have asked them the difference between the Bible and the New Testament, and they coTi'd not tell ; there was almost always a confusion upon that point. " Do they generally understand that the Bible con- tains the Word of Cod, the history of our Saviour, the history of the Creation and the Redemption of the World ? " 1 think we may say in general they do not; they have some general notion of it ; but it is a very vague idea. In some few instances you v » i! l meet with an utter ignorance of it altogether. £< Have you not found in some places that they con- sider the Bible a Protestant and not a Roman Catholic Book ? u Indeed latterly they have. " Is that an impression spreading throughout the country in consequence of the present contest ? " Perhaps that impression which would be conveyed by the late discussions has been counteracted by the declarations and arguments on the other side ; but the knowledge of the name of the Bible has become much more familiar with the common people than it was formerly, " i> account of these discussions, and on account of the Bible Society ; they have now a more perfect knowledge of it." Happily, continued Mr. U. much is doing in Ire- land to dispel the moral gloom which enshrouds her population. There was, among other Institutions, the London Hibernian Society, to which, though perhaps its labours were not known to all in that assembly, Ireland was under the greatest obligations for the blessings of a scriptural education. There was the Sunday School Society for Ireland, and he ( Mr. U.) was happy to know, that the Shropshire Auxiliary to that Institution stood preeminent in the amount of its contributions, and he would embrace the opportunity of assuring the friends of that Society who were present, that it fully merited the liberal tad highly respectable patronage it had received in Shropshire. Both these Societies were engaged in distributing the Holy Scriptures. There was also the Hibernian Bible Society, which since its forma- tion had Circulated upwards of 400,000 copies of the Word of God, and whose issues had increased in the ratio of several thousands of copies per annum during the last three years.— Mr. U. in concluding his ad- dress, urged the vigorous prosecution of this work of faith and labour of love, by referring to the ap- pearances of the world at present-— the grandeur ancLimportance of the design contemplated— and the certainty of its being ultimately achieved. J. BATHER, Esq. moved the thanks to the Branch Associations, and impressed upon the meeting the necessity that existed for the Society's efforts being directed, with earnestness, but in the spirit of peace and good- will, towards Ireland. The lie v. J. LAKGLKY seconded the motion. The Rev. Mr. LEWIS returned thanks, on behalf of the Branch Societies; and the meeting separated. LONDON— SATURDAY. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.— The result of the Quarterly Account made up on Wednesday, happily speaks Strongly and most efficiently for itself. It exhibits, in the account of the Consolidated Fund, an excessi instead of a falling off, in the receipts of the. July Quarter of the present year, as compared with those of the same Quarter in 1825 ; and in the account of the whole Revenue, the receipts of the • Quarter are only £ 493,295 short of those of the same period last year; but the deficiency upon the whole year amounts to £ 2,228,468. We are aware of some circumstances by which the excess in tlie Consoli- dated Fund is partly created; but when the diminu- tion occasioned by the measures of relief to the subject, adopted in the last Session, is set against those circumstances, it will still be found that the produce of the Quarter now before us has ftrfly equalled the estimates and expectations of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, as stated to Parliament at the commencement of the year. A Supplement to the London Gazette was pub- lished on Wednesday, containing Copies of Official Dispatches from our Army in India, down to the 25th of January. The loss in the assault on Bhurtpore, we regret to find, was very consider- able. It amounted to, Europeans and Natives killed, 103; ditto wounded, 468; missing, II. Since the fall of Bhurtpore,< the whole of the for- tresses within that Raj have surrendered to the British arms, and the inhabitants of Bhurtpore have returned to their habitations. Many parts of France were visited by the storm which caused so much destruction in England on Tuesday. At Blangv ( department of the Lower Seine) the hail was of the size of pigeons* eggs, and covered the ground 12 inches deep. The corn was entirely destroyed, and the population of the village reduced to extreme misery. Mr. FARQUHAR.— Mr. John Farquhar, the late owner of Fonthill Abbey, died on Thursday morn- ing, at the advanced age of 73, at his bouse, in the New- road, adjoining the new Church, opposite the Regent's Park. He took an airing in his car- riage the preceding day, and returned home about seven o'clock in the evening. He went to bed at his usual hour, between ten and eleven o'clock, in good health, and when the servant took breakfast to him to the bed room, at eight o'clock in the morning, as was his custom, he found Mr. Far- quhar a lifeless corpse in his bed. A physician was sent for on the instant, who declared that Mr. Farquhar must have breathed his last several hours before, the body was so cold. He appeared to have died without a struggle, for his eyes and mouth were closed, and the countenance was tranquil. Lord Folkstone subscribed £ 50 towards th « fund for returning Cobbett to Parliament. Sir Francis Burdetf, on being asked by Colonel Johnstone to Co.. tribute, is said to have replied, " Shew me that you have a rotten borough into which you can cram Cobbett, and i will contribute a much larger sum than Lord Folkstone has done. But mind ; I do this not as a dupe. I know the fellow to be an impostor, and that the best way to make every man in the country of my opinion, would be to exhibit him in the Mouse of Commons ; but 1 will never contribute a single farthing to enable such a m ah to present himself before any respectable body of electors." Lord George Beresford has published a very energetic address on the subject of the contest for the county of Waterfordy from which the following is an extract:—" Gentlemen, this is no ordinary contest; a few itinerant orators, emanating from a scarcely legal association, aided by a portion of the Roman Catholic Clergy, subservient to its views, claim a right to impose a representative upon the legitimate electors of the county, and temporal power is usurped by a spiritual body, whose inter- ference in politics should excite the jealousy not only of a Protestant Government, but of a Roman Catholic people. The Sabbath is profaned, and the altar polluted, for the almost avowed purposes of excluding the rank, the wealth, and the intelligence of the county, from a share in its representation; of defrauding the landlord of his influence, and the tenant of his freedom; and of erecting a spiritual despotism upon the ruins of civil and religious liberty."

ABBEY CHURCH.— Every admirer of this vener- able structure will be glad to hear that the improve- ments which have for many years past been gradually made in its interior, continue in progress, under the same acti ve stiperintendance to which the parishioners and public are indebted for its present, interesting and elegant appearance. Within the last wont ft' the remaining portion of brickwork which disfigured the floor of the north aisle and porch has been replaced by Hag- stones, which are now only wanting in that part of the floor nrider the tower. Other improvenientsare in contemplation, when funds can be obtained without pressing too much upon the parishioners, to whom iimcl) praise is due for what lliej hare already dooe.— The ancient font and pillar ( a particular account of which appeared iuourjnurnol of Jul v 6, 182ft, ){ arr alto about to be placed on a pedestal, at the expense of the Rev. W. G. Rowland, whose liberality and taste, as displayed in the decoration and preservation of this sacred edifice, will ever be duly appreciated by those who have witnessed the very different appearance of some other churches in the county.

CLICE, ( hairman. Jrr. v 1! TH, 1828. IHIUNII— The election*, says the Dublin Evening Mail of Monday, are drawing1 to a close, and the excitement consequent upon contests hav- ing to a certain degree subsided, ttieu's minds begin to assume their natural tone, and people re- view the past events rather through the medium of reason than of passion. And what feelings, we would as'*, is a dispassionate review of these events calculated to excite in the Protestants of Ireland — whether emancipators or not is unimportant to our present purpose? Tho first and most striking fact that presents itself is this— one that can neither be denied nor concealed— that wherever the Romish Priests exerted themselves, they were eminently successful in dissolving every tie of nature, duty, and gratitude. We would address ourselves to Messrs Stuart, Brownlow, Tuite, Dawson, and Westenra. These O^ entlemen are nominally Pro- testants, and are indebted for their seats in Parlia- ment solely and exclusively to the undue influence of the Popish Priests. They are pledged to advo cate the question of Catholic Emancipation ; and, supposing them to succeed, do they imagine that the Priests would be satisfied with their nominal adherence to the tenets of the Established Church, or that they would ever again be returned, assum- ing even by name the title of Protestant ? The Irish Members who, from principle or interest, for the sake of consistency, or from want of thought, • have been in the habit of voting for Catholic Eman- cipation, have been furnished by the late Election:! with an opportunity of estimating what would be their chance of success in the event of being op- posed by a Roman Catholic Candidate, aided by the spiritual powers of the Priest, supported by his temporal authority, and backed by the mysteries of his religion and the anathemas of his church. If for a Protestant— a heretic— the Priests to gain a political end went the lengths they have lately done, what efforts would they not make to insure a religious triumph. If we say the Priests went the lengths they have clone for Protestants, for men who profess themselves attached to the Church established by Law, what, we ask, would they do for a candidate of their own creed, for a man of their own principles? Let not Protestants, how- ever liberal it may be necessary for them to appear, disguise the fact from themselves. If the Roman Catholics were emancipated, and the Fort v - Shilling Freeholders continued, Ireland would not send five Protestants— even nominal Protestants— to Parliament."

LORD COMBERMEUE.— A private letter to £ gentleman in Chester enables us to state some inter esting particulars respecting the storming of Bhurt pore. The Commander- in- Chief travelled upwards of 800 miles in a short period, in order to . direct the siege in person, lie joined at AGRA post, where the Army was assembling. On the 10th of Deo. last, he invested Bhurtpore, allowed to he the strongest for- tress in India. After a seige of nearly six weeks, the gallant Commander stormed and took the place; and in less than ten days after, the five remaining for- tresses in the Kingdom of Bhurtpore were garrisoned bv Itritish Troops. The noble Commander- in- Chief, had a most providential escape on the glorious 18th of January. A mine had been dug for the purpose of making a breach in the bastion which protected the city, in which were placed 10,0001b. of gunpowder, and springing this mine was the signal for the advance of the attacking column. Lord Combermere was at the head of the column, in the trench under the bns tion, when he ordered the mine to be sprung. There was so much gunpowder in the mine that it blew the bastion to atoms, and caused total darkness for more than three minutes. The large lumps of earth blown up from the bastion, in falling, killed two serjeantv one on each side of Lord Combermere; knocked dowi two brigadier generals, and three other officers ; and killed ten privates of the 14th foot. As soon as light returned, the Commander- in- Chief, at the head of his brave column, advanced from the trench to the breach, where they charged the enemy, and were saluted, by three rounds of grape shot, which did some execution, and wounded the Assistant Adjutant- General close to the Commander- in- Chief, who fortunately was not touched ; and in less than two hours the place was his own, and the Rajah and alt bis chiefs prisoners. As soon as the fortress was secured, the first care of the British seemed to be to assist the wounded enemy. There was but little treasure discovered, and it is generally believed the treasury had been previously pretty well exhausted.— Lord Combermere was at the taking of Seringapatam, 1709, tinder General Harris, when Tippoo and 8,000 of his troops were slain ; and has now himself taken Bhurtpore, in 1S23.

SHROPSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. At the General Quarter > essions for this County, on Monday and yesterday, we observed the following Magistrates present, Thomas Pemberto. il, Esq.

Leicester, Rev. Sir Edward Kynaston, Bart. W. Charlton, F: s< . J. Whitehall Dod, Esq. Rev. Waties Corbett, Rev. (. , A. Maddock, Sic. & c. The Chairman, in the course of his Charge to the Grand Jury, said he was happy to congraiulate them at this its he bad done at many late preceding Sessions, ou the very few prisoners in the Calendar, and the creat diminution of crime which has appeared within these last few years. Whilst other parts of the kingdom have been complaining of n heavy Calendar, both in respect to the nature of the crimes and the number ot oflenders, if was a circumstance most creditable, to this county, that the number of the more light or session- able felonies was comparatively very few; and he could also addj on the authority of the Judges, who- had made lately the same observation" with respect to the higher and more capital offences, that there were also much fewer of this nature in this than in most other counties. The cause of this difference he would not then discuss— the fact was indisputable. The trial of the prisoners took place yesterday, when Matt ha Jones, for stealing* shoes at* VVoHaston, was sentenced to ba imprisoned 6 months to hard labour'; George Page, for an assault, with an intent to commit a rape, to be imprisoned 6 months to hard labour; John Heechy for unlawfully having in his possession notes and money, the property of Mary Plant, of Norbnry, to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour ; John While, for stealing a watch, at Wellington, Thomas Barnfield, for a felony, and John Judson, for an assault, at Newport, were severally sentenced to be imprisoned one month to hard labour. The Commission of Assize for this county will be opened next Tuesday ; and the business at Nisi Prius is expected to* be very heavy. There are II prisoners for trial, viz,-— WiUi. am Cookery charged with stealing a parcel, containing notes of the Weulock Bank of the value of £ 1500 and upwards ; David Davies, charged with Committing an - unnatural offence ; Edward Stokes, James Ross, and liugh Davies, charged with breaking- • into and robbing- the house of. Joseph Honey born, nt Hopt'on Wafers ; Esther l) i/ os, charged with the mur- der of a new- horn male child at Bridg north ; Margaret Williams, charg- ed with stealing a pocket- book, con- taining- £ 51, the property of Thomas Alford, at Oswestry ; William Bromleyf. ( from Priors Ditton,) charged with feloniously entering- and robbing- a dairy- house ; John Thomas, charged with stealing- a sheep, the property of Thomas Gilt ins j of Gui Is field ; George Dqvies, charged with stealing wearing apparel, from the stable of Mr. Taylor, at Hay Gate ; and Henry Moss, charged with stealing* two g- e! dings, the pro- perty of Mr. John Dick- en., of Waters Upton. One of two men who had been apprehended at Buxton for stealing two horses, belong- ing- to Mr. Diekin, of Waters Upton, managed to make his escape from the custody of the constable w ho was conveying- him to prison on Thursday. This occurred on Knig- htiey Common, hear Newport, where the man, who was mounted on a valuable black mare of Mr. Dickin's,. galloped off with hand- cuffs on his left hand. Although the fellow was seen at Weeping Cross, near Stafford, in the evening1, by some persons unacquainted with the circumstance, he has not been since heard of. He had a bundle with him, and wore a dark drab great coat with a cape, half- boots, grey- worsted stock ings, and a broad brim hat, and appeared to be about 5 feet 9. The black mare is about 15 hands high, and in good condition.

Sale to commence nt Half- past One. Part of Staffordshire was, on Saturday last, the scene of one of these awful visitations. At Aqualate- hall, the residence of Lady Boughey, the storm raged with dreadful fury, and the hailstones were of such magnitude and descended with such force, that scarcely a whole pane was left in the windows of the man- sion and in the frames of the hot- houses: the fields of growing corn in the neighbourhood suffered much ; and every species of horticultural produce was more or less injured. At Knijhtley, between Stafford and Newport, the Storm was equally vio- lent : the windows of the farm houses were de- molished — fields of corn were laid waste — garden crops were destroyed— game and poultry were kille'd - indeed the devastation was general.— Several farmers of that neighbourhood, whose fields of wheat promised an abundant supply, will scarcely have sufficient to meet the wants of their own households? Some of the hailstones, which were the cause of this wide spread desolation, measured eight inches in circumference, and quan- tities were picked up in sheltered situations on the evening of the following day of very large dimensions. The effects of the same storm were experienced, in a less ruinous degree, at Trent- ham, where four cows, which had taken shelter under a tree, were killed by the electric fluid, and it is rather singular that the same number of rooks shared the fate of the cows, and were found lying near to tltem. Much damage was also done on the edge of this county, on the same evening: at Mucclcstone, in the parish of Woore, a flock of sheep, in number twenty- three, the property of Mr. S. Bourne, were killed by the lightning. At Woodcote, the seat of J. Cotes, Esq. the windows were broken and much damage was done. LUDLOW RACES, 182G. Jt'LV 5 AND ( i.

The slate of the atmosphere seems materially to affect the air in the Mines: several instances having occurred lately of loss of lives, both from the fir » and cbouk damps. In one case of the former, whiek occurred last week at Mr. Jenkins's coal works at Cwm Bows, near Pontypool, Monmouthshire, two men and nine horses were destroyed by an explosion, eight other persons in the level having with difficulty made their escape. The day before, three poor fellows lost their lives by going down a pit in th « above neighbourhood, the air of which was known to be bad ; this was owing to the choak damp. A couple of blacksmiths' bellows having been fixed at the mouth of the pit, to the nose of which wer » fastened lengths of pipe, the foul air was gradually expelled, and men were let down, - at intervals, during the day, to find the bodies. It was a most perilous task; but it was undertaken cheerfully and heroically by different colliers in succession, and fortunately no other accident occurred. The thre » bodies were brought up about 24 hours after the Rad event took place. Next morning the air was so bad again, that a caudle would not burn half way down the pit, and it required another day's pumping be- fore the pipes could be disconnected.

N. while cruizing off St. David's Head, on the 2fith tilt, discovered a smai+.- rigged vessel, about 40 tons burthen, which from her appearance they knew hatl been in th* habit of smuggling, called the Moore, of Belfast, William Watt, master. They immediately gav » chase, and on boarding and examining her papers, found she had cleared out at Swausea, on the 23d ult. with 22 chaldrons of coals. However, not being satisfied, they proceeded to turn up tho coals, when one of the crew acknowledged that they had on board 310 bales, containing 18,600lbs. of unmanufactured tobacco, 6 rolls of manufactured roll tobacco, 4 boxes and 1 cask of green and black tea, and 7 pieces of paper hangings, which, together with the coals, stores, and materials, have been deposited in the Custom House warehouse, at Milford. The crew consisted of 4 persons, of whom 3, Watt, Coid, and Kelly, are notorious smugglers. It has since been ascertained, that th » above vessel cleared at Swansea, with the coals, on the 3d, instead of the 23d ult. as had been inserted ill the papers, and sailed on the 4th ; it is therefore conjectured, that she must either have gene to some foreign port, or taken the contraband goods out of a smuggler at sea, as the weather and time occupied since her clearance at S-. vansea would have allowed of either. On the 19th ult. a spirited horse, the property of L. O. Lewis, Esq. solicitor, of Uandilo, Carmarthen- shire, having taken fright at some object, ran down the street with such velocity, t': iat, missing tha turn at the angle of the bridge, he precipitated himself, with the man- servant who rode him, over the battlement, and was killed on the spot. Tha rider was fortunately saved, but is much injured. The horse was valued at £ 200. SAIIOPIAW JMJJEMAI^ AMID © OUJEJEEIR OIF WAM ABERYSTWITH.

Sr. ASAPH, 10TU JULY, 1826. At our Fair, yesterday, Fat Sheep averaged 5d and Lambs fid, per lb.- Pigs sold ut lower priccs than for many years past. FAIRS.— Of Gloucester Fair, on Wednesday last, there was one general opinion— tbat it was never worse attended, and tbat less business was never transacted. The shew of cattle was remarkably small, and, with the exception of one lot, there was not a fat cow in the fair. From the influence of the times, and the anticipated scarcity of grass and winter food, fresh and store beasts were not salea- ble. The little beef that was sold did not bring more than 6d. per lb. The sheep fair was rather better supplied, but the same inactivity prevailed, and fat mutton wan not worth much more than 5d per lb. In lambs, perhaps, a little more, was doing The general depression had also extended itself to tha horse- market, where none but really superior nuimals can command any thing like the priccs that have of late been asked. Hereford Wool Fair, on Saturday, was by far the dullest ever witnessed ; and for every description of agricultural produce there was little or no demand at very depressed prices. The wool trade was com- pletely stagnant, and little business done, at ruin- ously low terms; what was disposed of went from 8s. lo 12s. and some very fine 12s. 6J. per stone, which was the top pricc— the same as at last fair » old from 18s. to 22s. per stone. For a lot of the finest Merino wool from Foxley, only 14s. was offered; the same description of wool has sold for 70s. per stone at former fairs.— The show of cattle was small, though excellent in quality; but even tbe tow brought for sale, did not find purchasers, and the larger portion returned to the " short commons" the continued drought has doomed the poor animals to experience, in almost every part of this country. Those disposed of, sold from 5d. to 6d. per lb.; for stores 110 demand. Sheep went from 5d. to 55d. per lb. The horse fair contained many good animals, but the prices considerably lower than at last fair— nearly 30 per ceut. for all kinds. At Worcester July toll- free market, on Monday, the supply of all descriptions was ( owing to the shortness of keep) unusually large, but business was very flat, and few sales were made; fat cattle averaged 6d. per lb.; sheep anil lambs 5jd. to 6d. l^ o sales were effected in the horse fair. CHESTER. MIDSUMMER FAIR— Commenced 011 Wednesday.; last, 00 which day, probably from the scarcity of grass and the advance of provender, very litile business was done amongst thejliorns and hoofs, though all descriptions of cattle were offered at lower prices. The supply of horses was hut moderate, cither as it regards Ihe quantity or iheir quality ; tbe same may he said of the beast market, whilst, on the con. lritry, pigs were in great abundance ; and of sheep there was no deficiency. The Halls abound in Manchester, Birmingham, Shef- field, and Yorkshire goods ; but wc regret to find that litile has yet been done in any tiling, which, to traders and manufacturers coming from distressed districts, in the hope of effecting sales and returning home loaded with cash, must be disheartening in the ex- treme ; but as il is yet early ill the Fair, we hope such a change may take place as will at least, prevent any complaints from those who periodically afford us / in opportunity of purchasing their cheap bargains. Inthe very fluctuating article of Hops, it may also be said, scarcely any thing'has been done ; inde/ d ihe hop trade has seldom been more flat than at tlip present fair, notwithstanding the very great reduction in the price since last October, ns will be seen by the follow, ingcurrency : — 1S25' « are offering at from £ 9 .0 to £ 12 12 1824' s ditto 0 6 fo 8 8 1822' s 4 10 to 7 0 Old Olds lower in proportion. Tbe present year's duty is now doing at £ 100,000, which, wilh the very favourable reports received from Ihe plantations, render it more than probable there will be an abundant crop of hops this year, and conse- quently a further reduction in price.

In ( he Court of Common Pleas, on Thursday, an action was brought by a Welsh grazier, named Edmunds, against Sir Charles Smith, Bart., to recover the sum of £ 646, the price of 56 head of cattle sold to Thomas Mansfield, the defendant's bailiff; but it appea- ing that. the plaintiff had sold the cattle to Mansfield, and had taken his ovn promissory notes ; that Mansfield was in the habit of purchasing cattle for himself; that he ( Mansfield) was indebted to Sir Charles fo the amount of nearly £ 800; that Sir Charles always left money with Mansfield to complete his purchases ; aud that the plaintiff, by taking tbe notes, had clearly dealt with Mansfield as principal — the Jury found a verdict for the defendant. On Tuesday afternoon a poor woman was killed by lightning, near the Fish- ponds iu the neigh- bourhood of Bristol. She was in a . field, hay- making, at the time; and it is supposed that the prongs of the hay- fork, which she held in her hand, attracted the electric fluid. She had just Remarked to another woman, " Dear , me, what a storm !" when Bhe was struck dead. She has left an infirm husband nnd eight children. At Coventry, the lightning struck the house of Mr. Carless, in Much Park- street, about oneo'cloclc on Wednesday morning, and did considerable damage, tearing out the window frames and brick* from tbe wall, and destroying some silk looms. It passed through a room where some of the family were in bed without injuring them. A son of Mr. Carless was shutting a window, when the lightning struck it and he was knocked down, but did not sustain any injury. He described the sensation he experienced as similar to that of a person whose bead was surrounded by a flame of fire. At Warwick, the rain began to fall in torrents about one o'clock, and the noise of thunder was heard rolling at a distance. The storm ceased in about a quarter of an hour; but a fevv minutes before two, it commenced with re- doubled fury. The peals of thunder gradually became louder and more lengthened; and one tremendous clap, re- sembling the report of heavy artillery, was imme- diately succeeded by a shower of hail, of extra- ordinary violence, but happily of short duration. The hailstones, or rather flakes of icc, of an irre- gular and oblong shape, were many of them of considerable thickness, full half an inch in width and more than an inch in length ; those partaking of tbe globular form were mostly of the size of cherries. Some hours after the storm had subsided, they were found, in various parts of the town, iu congealed masses of ice, of considerable size, nd in such quantities as to require them to be removed away in wheelbarrows. The houses in some directions were deluged with water, and the roads much damaged. The injury done to the hot and green- bouses in the town has beeu consider able; but the force of the storm seems to have been concentrated in the Saltisford, where, in the gardens of Mr. Brookhouse alone, damage has been sustained to the amouut of between £ 300 and £ 400. The Board of Admiralty, it is said, have de- termined on fitting out another expedition to the Arctic Seas.

An ultimate object is subsequently to be attempted, which will require all the energy and enferprize of the distinguished officer to whom this service is to be entrusted. It is understood that the Hecla will take out with her boats or small ves- sels of peculiar construction, in which Captain Parry and a party of the Hecla's officers and men are to endeavour to reach tbe Novlh l- ole, leaving the Hecla in the neighbourhood of Spitzberger,. The experiment is made at tbe suggestion of the Royal Society. The Marquis of Tavistock has subscribed £ 2000 to the improvements of the Bsdfqj'd Infirmary, His Lordship had previously stated, that in the event of a contest for Bedford he would not spend a shilling in corrupting electors; but that he would apply the sum which he should save in the form- ation of n permanent and useful institution for the benefit of tbe poor ; and not " in promoting a con- tradiction to the law of the land for aiding of drunkenness and profligacy." IRON TRADE.— At the. Shropshire and Stafford' shire ironmasters' quarter- days, last week, the nominal prices were the same as the previous quarter. The demand, however, was very limited, and the apprehension of a still further reduction appeared to restrain tbe usual contracts and pur- chases of the trade at their quarterly meetings Many furnaces have been blown out in Wales and " England during the last quarter, and both the maki and sale of manufactured iron has been consider ably lessened. EARLY HARVEST IS SCOTLAND.— There was cut down this day on Mr. Esdaile's farm, VVesler Kiumouth, near here, a considerable quantity of barley, ripe, and of excellent qualilv.— Perth Courier, July 6. It is to be lamented that neither the Commercial nor Manufacturing interests are improving. In the cify, money is extremely scarce, or rather it should be said tbat money is plentiful, but confidence at a low ebb. From the manufacturing districts the accounts indicate tbat distress is rather increasing than diminishing, and an apprehension seems to b felt that the wants of the people will soon exhaust the very liberal subscription that has beeu raised. Letters from Martinique state that some negroes belonging to that island, having seized a boat ventured to sea in quest of liberty, and were fortunate enough to reach the Haytian coast. The French authorities immediately claimed them, but the President refused to deliver them up, as the Constitution declared that every man who touched the Haytian soil was free. At the same time he sent back the boat, aud every article which they had carried away with them, admitting that the prerogative only extended to their persons. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.— On Wednesday evening, a horrible accident occurred at the house of Michael Hohnn, a respectable carrier in the Kell road, about half a mile from this city. Early on lhat morning, two drays belonging lo H. ibao, hniih- d wil goods, arrived from Dublin, on their way IO Walerlbrr and were laid down on the roi. d side, near his door, Among the olher parcels, there unfni t nnau ly happened to be a cask of gunpowder ; through some accident lite powder blew up al the hour above- mentioned wilh a ti. inendons report, rfhich shook ihe earth to a con- siderable distance around, and the report was followed by a black dense column of smoke. On visiting this scene of calamity, nothing could present a more fright- ful appearance, ' two young men were blown to pieces, and their limbs scattered in different directions through tiie surrounding fields. Two oilier young men and a young woman w ere so il read fully maimed and blackened by ihe explosion, as scarcely lo retain the appearance of human beings. Tho three were conveyed as prohipt'y as possible lo ihe Couaiy Infirmary, with scarcely a hope of recovery. Three of ihe uuforumale sufferers were sons of llohaii; and the female, who was abutil twenty years of age, was his dauwlirer.

DESTRUCTIVE FIR* IN LIVERPOOL.— IT is our duly lo record some particulars ofa fire, more awful and destructive in in ravages than any we have wit- nessed since tbe memorable burning " of the splendid range of ihe Goree warehouses in 1802. On Wednes- day, shortly before midnight, tire was observed to issue from the extensive warehouse nf Messrs. Aspiuall and Knowles, sail makers, Sallholise Dock, corner of Orford- Street, and which adjoined oilier warehouses, all ol ihem containing much valuable property. Offices aud rooms in ihe premises were also occupied by Mr. C. M or rail, Mr Gillies, and by Mr. Rjlcy. si. il maker, f he fire- hells in ihe different station's announced ihe existence of the conflagration throughout the town, and iii a short lime the adjaceiit ground was covered bv a large assemblage. Severn! engines arrived, h it the devouring element,, fed by masses bf. combuslible mm. ter, so il! defied ali exertions tu arrest its progress in ihe warehouse where ii commenced. It found iis way lo tbe adjoining warehouses of- Messrs. Rankin and Co. ship- chandlers, Orford- street, and the warehouse alscv adjoining, fronting Salthonse Dock ; and about ihe same. time, the intensity of the flames iu'iiited ihe large warehouse at the opposite corner of Or'ford street, be- longing to' Mr. Gibbous, the window frames and shutters in ibe upper stories first taking fire. Soon after one ihe four warehouses minted blazed wiiii un- cnnlronlable furv, the noise and draft of the flames being occasionally drowned hy the more terrific and frequent crashing in ofthe rooi's and floors and masses of wall. The upper warehouse on tbe iiulh side of Or ford street, which alone remained of that range, belonging, as well as the adjoining one, to Mr. Leigh, and oceup'ed chiefly wilh bonded und free corn, with- stood the heat for some lime, but it at length lighted at the roof, and its height, like that of the others, precluded all operation oi'the engines, even had thev bad a plentiful supply of wafer. The conflagration issuing simultaneously from the five extensive ware- houses was truly sublime. Volumes of flames fre- quently overtopped the ruined walls to a gigantic height, illumin mg the atmosphere'far aud wide, and impressing a bright and lurid tinge upon every high object in tiie town. The steeples and clucks, even in the outskirts, were more brilliantly exhibited llinti during the noonday sun, and partook of a red or - livery tinge, according to the alternate colour of the allies. The shipping in the'Salthoitse Dock, which bad been drawn to ihe west. side for safety, nnd left an expanse of smooth water reflecting Ibe burning buildings, presented a truly picturesque appearance. The decks, masts, and yards, were crowded with spectators, aud so illumined, that the minutest object was dislinctlf - brought into beautiful and glowing're- lief. Serious apprehensions were soon entertained for the safety ofthe two large warehouses of Mr. C. Fletcher, which were separated from the back of the burning range by a narrow passage, called Flixton- laue, and tbe sequel shewed that these apprehensions were not unfounded. On the falling of some oi'the back walls of Mr. Leigh's, the flames hurst.. out iu this Inne, ren- dering il impassable; and in less than an hour the window Jenifers of Mr. Fletcher's warehouse caught fire, an( Pin a short time, such was the combustible nature of some of the contents ( turpentine and oil) that the. conflagration became more awful than in any of the olher buildings, it spread . with great rapidity through the premises as far as Campbell- street, unit the whole soon presented one mass of vivid flame, simultaneously bursting from every window, and as it were enveloping the walls iu a sheet of burning gas. The suction of the flames in Flixton. lane was such, that the roar was uot unlike that of a gale of wind iu a forest. A smaller warehouse adjoining, facing ihu same lane, was also burnt, and it was only by the greatest exertions, that the whole range fronting tho Duke's- place, as far as Campbell. street, was saved from the devouring element. Tbe intense heat throw n out from Mr. Fletcher's warehouses was such as id cause the speedy retreat ofthe assembled multitude to the far side of Orford. street, aud the blaze continued with great, intensity uniil a large portion of the build- ing fell. Meantime the other warehouses continued to contribute to the general blaze, and portions of the walls occasionally fell with a crash. From ihe second windows of Mr. Leigh's upper warehouse, the partly burnt corn, on the falling in of the upper floors, rushed into the street iu a stream; and in' Flixton- lane, Ihe burnt corn which bad run from ttie windows of . Mr. Fletcher's, formed a heap of 12 or 15 feet in height. As the fire in ( he latter began to abate, it communi- cated with the roof of the next warehouse, a low building, belonging to Mr. Holt, which was broken in by falling bricks ; and also in a similar manner to tha warehouse below, to the west, but happily ihe progress, of the flames was here arrested, though iiot till much damage was done. By four o'clock the burning had so far subsided, that little apprehension of farther damage was entertained. We have heard various estimates of the loss of property on this deplorable occasion. Ii is, however, pretty generally rated at about P100, fi00. The origin of ib'e fire is not precisely ascet * ned ; but it is said to have arisen from soma cot ton, ignited by a man carelessly smoking a pipe while working among cotton, as in Ihe late tire at Mr. Thomas Booth's warehouse, Wappintr. Bv the calamity eight warehouses have been destroyed ; hot we are happy to be able fo state, that the parties occupying ihem are very generally insured, aud thai the books of accounts have been saved. The premise/ destroyed were in the occupation of Messrs. Aspinali, Claude, Morrall, Rankin and Co. Rylev, Joseph Leigh and Co. Jos. Gibbons, Gillies, and C. Fletcher. — Liverpool Mercury. FOREIGN GLOVFS.— As the time in now arrived for the admission of French Gloves at a low rate of duty, we cannot allow ourselves to let slip tbe first opportunity of suggesting to our readers, and especially our fair readers, the extensive injury which they will inflict upon a large body of the industrious poor if they adopt the use-. of French goods, in preference to those of English manu- facture. In this city and its neighbourhood about 4,000 persons are employed in the manufacture of Gloves, besides a great number in other parts of the kingdom ; if therefore the use of Foreign Glaves were generally adopted, a considerable proportion of these persons must be deprived of tbe opportunity of acquiringthat subsistence which their occupation has hitherto afforded them ; but serious as this consideration is, there is another fact of a nature which addresses itself peculiarly to the feelings of Englishwomen— of the persons employed in the Manufacture of Gloves, Ihe ma- jority are females ; what must the condition of many of these females be if their usual employ is taken from them ? We leave the answer to their own sex— and we leave it ill confident con- viction that no unworthy preference of goods of Foreign Manufacture— no excuses of " how much better they are," and so forth— will be allowed to operate in the mind of any true- born English- woman, when so many of the children of her native land are, as it were, asking bread at her bands.— Worcester Journal. NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION.— Notwithstand- ing Mr. Lanibton and Mr. Beaumont ( see our last Journal,) were prevented by the Magistrates from having a hostile meeting, a communication passed between them, and a meeting was appointed for nine in the evening, at ibe Moor, three miles from Alnwick. Mr. Lambton, witlj Gen. Grey, arrived there at the appointed hour; but Mr. Beaumont being beset by a crowd on his way, his sect ud ad- vised him to retire, for fear of discovery. A meeting, was fixed for the morning; but in consequence of various interruptions, caused in some degree by tho precautions of the police, it was afternoon before they were ableto meet. Havingsucceeded ill getting, to Belford, they passed to u field adjoining the strand at Ramborough, where, about three o'clock, and during heavy rain, Mr. Lanibton and Mr. Beau- mont were placed on tbe ground, at a distance of twelve paces, and immediately exchanged shots, without effect. It was then considered that enough bad been done for the. use of hasty expressions upon the hustings, and the principals were taken from the ground by their seconds. Mr. Lambtou went to Howick, where Lady Louisa was waiting in an agony ofsuspense, and Mr. Beaumont returned to Aluw icU. Northumberland election terminated ouThursday afternoon, having continued tbe full time allowed by law; and it is probable tbat the utmost industry could not have found many more freeholders to poll. At the final close the number* were for tha Hon. T. Liddell, 1562; M Bell, Esq. 1380; T. W. Beaumont, Esq. 1335. Lord Howick had previ- ously resigned. The two former were declared duly eleeted, and afterwards chaired. Dr. Wake, of Warwick, has been obliged to obtain the incarceration of a Miss Wassell, who upon some unfounded charge, collected a mob, who beset the Doctor, aud threatened to throw him into the Avon! This damsel is 45 years of age, and possesses a good property. Her habits ara very eccentric; she hunted a Sir.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. Sin, Philalethes has indulged yon with a long and humorous letter, but he has either mistaken or mis- stated the point at issue. Veritas never meant, as the quotation from Dr. Southey will shew, that the Declaration did not contain the opinions of certain members of the Romish Church, but that it was contrary to the Creed of the Romish Church, to which every Priest and every Layman sub- scribes, and which, as long as he is a Romanist,. he is bound to believe and observe. If Veritas has erred, it is Mr. CHARLES BUTLER, of LINCOLN'S INN ( a distinguished Member of their own Communion), who has led him into the mistake, and to whom the observations of Phila- lethes should be adressed. He says, in p. 9, ed. 2d, of his Book of the Roman Catholic Church, " No doctrine should be ascribed to the Roman Catholics as a body, except such as is an article of faith ;" and in p. 5, " the Creed of Pope Pins IV. has " ever been considered as an accurate arjd explicit , c summary of the Roman Catholic Faith, for " Catholics, on their admission into the Catholic " Church, publicly repeat and testify their assent *' to it without restriction or qualification;" and in p. 10, he says, " Whatever other opinions can be " adduced, though tlrey be the opinions of their " most respectable writers,— though they be the " opinions of the Fathers of their Church,, still they *' are but MATTERS OF OPINION." The Declaration contains, it i » granted, the opinions of these individuals; but what Veritas asserted, and only asserted, was — 1st, That it did not contain the Articles of fhe Creed of the llomish Church; and, 2dly, Thai that Creed to which every Catholic subscribes, and by which he is bound, does contain all the obnoxious doctrines of the Romish Church. I believe, Sir, that Philaletlies and the sub- scribers to that Declaration are sincere in their individual aud solemn disavowal of those abomina- ble doctrines; andlhail the Declaration, as inspir- ing a hope that they will in time withdraw from a Communion which, under peril of mortal sin,* enjoins them to believe what their reason, their Declaration, their consciences abhor, reject, and condemn. VERITAS. • In the Romish Church, to disbelieve nn article of faith is Ilcrcsy, which, 1 believe, is Ihere accounted a mortal sin.. Intelligence from Spain to the 20lh ult. confirms Ibe report circulated some time since, that the Army of Obscivalion in Ihe Peninsula was to be further reduced. A new Convention is snid to have been concluded between the French and Spanish Guvci u- ments, signed bv their respective Ambassadors, aud ratified by Ferdinand at Aranjucz, according to which tbe only Fu ndi force in Spain 011 the 1st of July would be a corps of 15,000, comprising the Swiss, which would supply Madrid, Pampclutia, and Cadiz, wiih garrisons. All Ihe other places were lo be evacuated and replaced iu the hands of the Spanish army. The lutendant of the Customs a! Madrid having discovered that immense quantities of wine wire introduced into that capital as though for the use of tiie Swiss troops, but in reality to be sold to the public, complained of this smuggling transaction to fhe French Commander, and revived an order issued in 1814, which directed all Frenchman that come iu ihe train of Ihe Army, but holding no regular office iu its administration, to quit Spain immediately. Baron Rothschild had ceased lo he employed lo pay the Army of Occupation, in conse- quence of his bavin" engaged, it was said, in a gvcat financial operation concerted between the Prime Minister of France and the Spanish Government. THE LONGEST DAY.— The longest day, equally wilh tbe shortest affords matter for serious reflection. Life, with its morning of infancy, its noon of man- hood, anil ils night of age, is, at best, but one loug day,— and ' death 011 llic pale horse' strikes his un- erring dart ; regardless, equally, of the smiles of summer, or uf thefrownsof winter:— some writhing under disease, be kills with a thousand deaths, while others he summons at once to their account. ' Yet no man, T says Quevedo, ' dies suddenly, for death surprises uo one, but gives all sufficient warning and notice. Do JIOU complain of sudden death, that have carried death about yon ever since you were born; that have been culirtaimd with daily spectacles of carcases and funerals; that have hraid so many ser- mons upon the subject, and read so many books upon the frailty of life and the certainty of death? Are you not sensible, that every moment you live brings you nearer to your end J Your clothes wear out;: your goods and your houses decay; and yet you hope lhat your bodies shall be immortal /' What are the corn- irfon accidents and discuses of life, but so many warnings lo provide yourself for a remove? You have death at your table, in your daily food and nourishment, for your life is maintained by the death of oilier creatures; and you have the lively picture of it every night in your bedfellow. With what face, then, can yon charge your misfortune upon sudden death, who have spent your whole life, both at bed and board, among so many remembrances of your mortality? No, no; change your style, and here, after confess vnurselvcs lo have been carelcss and incredulous. You die, thinking you lire not lo live ycl, and forgetting that death grows upon you, and goes along w iih you, from one end of your life lo Ihe other, without distinclion of person or age, sex or quality, and whether it find you well or ill doing: — at ihe tree falls so it lies' GERMANY.— The last German Papers contain the following article: — Berlin, June 18.— The steadiness in the price of the public securities, which has been observed for some weeks, appears fo be merely in conse- quence of the uncertainty in which our exchange has been since the last crisis. The commercial, as well as the political relations have become so com- plicated of late, that nobody has sufficient confidence in his own judgment to decide whether lie shall speculate in the rise or fall of the funds. Almost all speculations in time- bargains, have followed tbe example of the well known Agent, who withdrew with aheavy load of debt from this dangerous trade. The few transactions that now occur are for ready money. It is long, too, since any attempt has been made on tbe part of the Government to produce a rise in the funds. The Prussian Bonds rose, indeed, from 81 to 84 on the news of the acceptance of the Russian ultimatum by the Porte, but afterwards fell to 82, where they remain stationary. The English Loans have remained for months between 95 and 66, and notwithstanding the high course of exchange, seven dollars foi a pound sterling, do uot advance. The timber trade in Prussia has als » become very dull, for which reason the Ducates, which are ex- clusively employed in this trade, have gradually fallen from 31$ to the precious rate of 18 per Cent. Louis d'Ors, on the other hand, bearing an increased demand for the lottery, have risen from 11J to 13, but will hardly reach 15, at which they were when part ofthe salaries of public officers were paid in gold. But a very remarkable circumstance is, that the rate of discount, which during the wool fair last year rose to 12 per Cent, is at present 110 more than 4. This is a certain proof that our woollen drapers, most of whom have their own manufactories, do not venture to make purchases, Jiowever low the prices of wool. At Stettin and Breslaw the wool fairs have been very dull, and hardly any thing was sold but the middling sorts. The owners of improved breeds of sheep were therefore obliged to borrow money from fhe Government 011 the deposit of their wool, especially as themoney lenders would not make any advances on that article. The Berlin wool fair began a few days ago, and immense quantities are already 011 the spot. Not- withstanding the glut of these articles in England, some buyers have arrived from that country, but they want only the middling sorts, which since the great improvement in the carding machines are used, instead ofthe improved wool, in all the fine cloths intended for tbe East and West Indies. Within these two days the market has become more brisk, aud it is expected that a good deal of business will be done, especially iu ordinary descriptions. At a Bible- meeting last week, one of the speakers, in describing the opposition of the Irish Priests lo the distribution of the Bible among their flocks, said that at one place, where the Bible Society met at the inn, tha priest was called in by the landlord, who was a Papist, to sprinkle it with holy water after the meeting dispersed. At another place the priest told the people, that the Protestant Bibles could not be depended upon, because the printers might put any thing they liked into them. A lady, in Dublin, went to a pawnbroker's, who asked her, could she supply him with Bibles, because the pedlars used to come and buy them to sell to the people about Carlow, who are wild to get them, and would buy them at any price, ever since the great Bible discussions between the Protestant ministers and their Catholic priests.— Times. A person named John Jackson, of Hnnslet, neat- Leeds, who went to York election, will, we regret to say, have cause to lament his visit. He had lately sold a public- house at Sandal— and was only just returned from collecting the tolls 011 the Leeds and Harrogate road, when he was obliged to set off for York. He had all the money with him in a pocket- book in the side pocket of his coat, amount- in the whole to £ 547, of which about £ 200 was Ilia own. Some time in the course of Wednesday, his coat was cut, and the book taken away; thus leaving him a beggar— for it contained all he was worth in the world. ECONOMY— There is a person residing in the neighbourhood of Kirkaldy, who wears a coat, the age of which is no less than 120 years! It was the coat worn by his father oil his wedding day, was bequeathed to his son, and served the same useful purpose on the like occasion for its present pos- sessor. The wearer of this ancient garment is eighty- nine, and has worn the same, chiefly for his Sunday's coat, for more than fifty years.— Paisley A dvertiser. The Freeman's Journal states that fires prevailed in the woods of New Jersey, extending from a spot 30 miles south- east of Philadelphia, nearly to the sea shore, over upwards of 45,000 acres. Upwards of 8,000 cords of wood prepared for market have been burnt, and a number of cattle destroyed.— New York Paper. Hufeland has ascribed its properties to a variety of mineral impregnations; and a- priori bis opinion seems probable enough ; it is, however, unsupported by chymical test. An argillaceous earth, of doubt- ful composition, is all that it has been discovered to contain. These waters, indeed, are recommended to persons with whom the ordinary mineralized waters do not agree, and have been supposed very efficacious in nervous disorders. fHisfcUiiueous EnicUiijctur. THE LATE EARL OF CHICHESTER— Died, Tuesday, nt three o'clock, at his house, in Stfatton- street, Piccadilly, the Right Hon. Thomas Pelliam, Earl of Chichester and Baron Pelham, Joint Post- master General. His Lordship was born 28th April, 1756, and succeeded his father Thomas, the late Earl, in 1805. He was called up by writ to the House of Peers in his life- time, iu June, 1801, and placed in his father's Barony of Pelham. He married in 1801 Mary Henrietta Juliana Osborne, daughter of Francis, fifth Duke of Leeds, by whom lie had a numerous issue. lie is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, Ilenry Thomas, Lord Peiham, now Earl of Chichester. On Friday two young men, belongingto Houston, went to the " black linn," in the river Gryft'e, above the Crossley, for the purpose of bathing, and having quarrelled, they grasped each other, and both went down aud were drowned. When their bodies were found, the one had a firm hold of the other by the face with both hands. — Glasgow Chronicle. BUONAPARTE'S OPINION or WELLINGTON.— 1 never heard Buonaparte speak of the battle of Waterloo, or give an opinion of the Duke of Wellington; but 1 asked General Berlrand what Napoleon thought of him. " Why," replied lie, " 1 will give you his opiniou nearly in the words he delivered it to me." ' The Duke of Wellington in the management of an army is fully equal to myself, with the advantage of possessing more prudence.'— Maitlund's Narrative. WEEVILS.— Accident has discovered to a French farmer a very simple mode of destroying weevils in corn- warehouses. Happening to lay iu Ihe corner of a granary, in which there was a large quantity of corn, some sliecp- skins with the fleece 011, he was not a little surprised to find them, a few days after, covered with dead weevils. He repeated the experiment several times, and always with the same success. At last he ordered his corn to be stirred up and not a single weevil remained in it. It appears therefore, although the cause has not yet been ascertained, that greasy wool, when in the neighbourhood of weevils, attracts and destroys them. On Wednesday, in consequence of continued depredations committed on the poullry of farmers in the neighbourhood of Exbonrne, a search was commenced, and after some time there was found in a brake on the farm of Watcrhouse, in lhat parish, litterally a kennel of foxes, in which were the remains of poultry, lambs, & c. of the original value of at leas t £ 20. The plaie was immediately sur- rounded by about 50 persons, aud terrier- dogs, . backed sheep- dogs, put in, who, after a terrible conflict of two hours, succeeded in destroying two foxes and four vixens: not one of them attempted to bolt, but each desperately fought and fell in defence of this their esteemed home. Not a shot was fired.— Sherborne Mercury. A DUEL.— Did you ever fight a duel! No! nor send a challenge either ? Well I you are fresh indeed!

SCOTLAND.—( From the Aberdeen Chronicle.)— The various peat musses and bills, both 011 the Don nud Dee have been for several w eeks past iu a slate of combustion. The fire, aided by the continual drought, produced, however, effects so alarming, that otiSuuilay last, people began to be apprehensive of the danger, ami convened ill crowds lo put a stop lo its ravages. Oh the Dun, the hills and moss al the head of the tributary streams of Noughty and Email, exhibited a very terr. fyiug appearance. The ( lames raged with great violence, and a brisk wind springing up, they soon spread along the hills for several miles, burning the peats which Ibe inhabitants had prepared for their w inter fuel, and the very uiicast moss, to the depth of several feet ; at one time the fire even threatened I he plantations pertaining lu General Forbes of Aucll- eruarch, hut the exertions of the people checked its progress. The hill of Coiine has likewise been burn- ing fur several weeks, and report sajs, that a large extent' of peat moss and turf is entirely consumed. Ail these are however trifling, when compared to Ihe dreadful conflagration which has existed among the Grampian Hillsaud towards the woods of Gleutanner, and which threaiencd the entire destruction of lhat excellent forest. Il would appear, that lllese fires had originated in various places, proceeding from the head of the Esk water, south of Ihe Grampians, from Mount Skene, Lochnagar, & c, where the moors had lieen Uwt- mng; for several weeks Unheeded, in that ex- tensive range. On Sunday last, ils increased extent and approach to the woods uf Gleutanner called forth the united exertion of the country and neigh- bourhood. Hundreds of men, under the direction of Major Leith Hay and Mr. Farqnharson of Finzeau, who have been most indefatigable on this occasion, and including the Earl of Aboynt's tenantry, con- veiled to endeavour to stop ils progress, but with no great snceess. On Monday, Ihe danger became so imminent, that preparations were making to remove tbe furniture of the woikmen belonging lo the saw- mill of Glentanner, as not only Ihe heath but the whole surface of the hills antl moss, to the depth of five or six feet, were in one mass of lire. Ou Wed- nesday, a storm of thunder and rain took place, and its cflVcts 011 the same night were such, as to enable those engaged 10 gi t ihe fire considerably under. Some trees were burnt on the outskirts of the fin est, hut no great damage is done to the plantations. Many sheep are said to be burned in the hills or suffocated. The extent ofthe burning cannot well be estimated as yet, some reporting a space of ten miles, others double that extent. T he real cause of these fires seems to be, the thoughtless aud cureless manner of people leaving fire on the musses unextinguished, when preparing their fuel, and the 110 less reprehensible mode of kind- ling tobacco- pipes, and throwing out the fiery ashes among tlie dry liealli. And lasl week, al the mosses of Potlerton and Bel- helvie, nu alarming fire had extended so far, lhat nearly two hundred people were employed in digging a ditch lo prevent ils extending to Ibe neighbouring woods and plantations, in which they succeeded, after great exertion. On Tuesday last, the smoke from Mount Chier and Pollocli, situated south of Pannannch, was so dense in Glcngni'deii, lh. it the nearest farm town to onr in- formant, although not a quarter of a mile distant, could not be seen ; and in passing down the north side of the Dee 011 Wednesday afternoon, lie says he was nearly suffocated with smoke from Clochnaben and the Glens of Dye, Birse, and Tanner ; some strag- gling trees in the latter had been burnt, and the fire proceeded with such rapidity that the occupiers of houses removed from them with their whole effects— iu some cases it was distressing lo see young infants actually lying in their cradles in safe spots, until carts could be provided lo carry them away. Fires appear lo prevail very far westward ; our informant saw the summit nf Ben Avon blazing, and smoke in various other quarters. Report says there is a moss in Cogarf iu a similar slate, and lhat a man removing his pent to a more safe place than the moss, had incautiously thrown amongst the rest some in which fire was con- cealed; after his cart had proceeded some distance, Ihe fire kindled up and spread so, that he wag obliged lo throw out the whole, to save his eai t. GREAT MALVERN.— Appalling Catastrophe — [ From the Cheltenham Chronicle of Thursday last.] — It is this week our most paint'nl duty to add to the melancholy records of mortality, the detail of one of the many awful visitations of Providence, by which, under all circumstances of our existence, humanity is aroused to the conviction, and to the certainty, that " in the midst of life we are in death." — Saturday last, a party, consisting of four ladies and four gentlemen, set out from Hereford, allured by the serenity and sunny brightness of the day, to ascend the Malvern Hills, and to enjoy the expansive prospect of luxuriant scenery which spreads itself beneath them. " Still in harmonious intercourse tliey liv'ef " The rural day." Their gratification— their pleasure— their enjoy- ment, were of short duration. Soon after four o'clock, the collation which they had brought with them was spread before them on the green sward near the summit of Ihe Worcestershire Beacon ; when sud- denly, the clouds which had been imperceptibly gathering above their heads became dark and gloomy, and the rain poured down in torrents.. To avoid the inclemency of the storm, they hastened to Harcourt Tower, a short distance from them; but they had scarcely reached this place of fancied safety, when the lightning, attracted by the sheet- iron roof which covered the Tower, struck it with a terrific crash; and of the affrighted groupe that sought its shelter but a few moments before in life and health, all within it were laid prostrate-— two young ladies of the names of Hill and Woodyatt, were instantly struck dead— the Leghorn bonnets which they wore being so much scorched as to be- come quite brown— and of four others who were injured by the shock, it is feared that two cannot long survive.* We are assured, that so horrified was one of the gentlemen, that he ran with velocity down the steepest declivity of the mountain, and yet, strange to say, reached its base unhurt— to the astonishment of all who beheld him, and who ex- pected to have seen him dashed to atoms: but he expired on Tuesday morning.— The bodies were soon afterwards removed to St. Anne's; and the sur- vivors were carried to the Crown Inn, Great Mal- vern, where, we understand, they linger in a very precarious state.— No language can convey an ade- quate description of the storm, which, we are assured, was more terrific than auy that has been experienced at Malvern within the memory of the oldest inhabitant.— The rain fell, precipitated to the earth in " unbroken floods,"— the flashes of the forked lightning were almost incessant— and the peals of thunder reverberated through the hills with tremendous force. * Tli. e Hereford Journal of Wednesday, July 5, thus notices this dreadful event :—" The party bad just sat down to dinner, when suddenly a storm burst over the spot, a stream of electric fluid attracted by the roof of the building, which vvas covered with iron plates, entered the apartment through a window, and in the instant two of the party, Miss Ellen Woodyatt, third daughter of Mrs, Woodyatt, of this city, and Miss Eliza Hill, eldest daughter of Mr. llill, of l. iudrielge, were struck dead!! A sister of Miss llill was like- wise severely injured, and another person of tbe party slightly hurt. The escape ofthe rest was truly pro- vidential, as llie different articles 011 the table were all broken and dispersed by the action of tbe electric fluid." " BELL'S T.

Watering Places on the Continent. FLIGHT OF LOCUSTS. ( From a Bombay Paper of January 21 •) We have seen a private letter, dated at Baroda, which mentions lhat Ihe cloud of locusts, whieh has been hovering for nearly two Months over different parts of Ibe province of Guzeratt, passed over that city 011 the 23d ult. The writer gives a most ap- palling account of Ihe probable numbers of this host of destroyers; for, after averaging their apparent rate of flight, the period they occupied in passing, and Ibe estimated breadth, as gathered from differ cut observers nt opposite situations, he calculates that the cloud must have covered ten square miles, which, allowing only one locust for a square inch, would give more than 40,000 millions!— a number which, however startling it may seem when written down, ibe writer conceives to be very much below rather than above, the truth; and he grounds that opinion on the almost perfect and unbroken shadow the insects cast 011 Ihe ground, and Ihe lurid dark- ness they occasioned, and from observing lliein as Ihey passed n very tall flag- staff, where, so far as tbe bewildered eye was capable of judging, they appeared to he equally thick 50 feet above the ground, as they were at 12 or 20. The insects are said to have done little or no injury at Baroda, but to have passed onward with a sleaely flight, their course being from the south- east and towards the northeast, diverging from the right line of their route on reaching the city, the smoke and uproar of which may probably explain the change. Before their approach, and afler their departure, Iheir ap- pearance was precisely lhat of immense nud heavy cloud* of dense smoke all along the horizon. At Aylesbury, tbe constituents of Lord Nugent, upwards of two thousand in numbci', returned his Lordship to Parliament, iiot only free of expense, but on an understanding that throughout the whole period of his service all the charges incident to his situation, down to the fees of the door- keeper, should be defrayed by them : and in order that the feeling should be kept alive among them, it has been agreed that they shall have an annual dinner, iu com- memoration of the triumph of purity of election. It is stated that the whole of the expense which his Lordship's constituentshave been at in returnin: him, including even the purchase of flags, amounted only to £ 31.10s. 6d. As the General Eleclion is drawing to a close, il may he worth the while to notice what farther sieps are necessary lo constitute the new into genuine and certain Parliament. Il is necessary for this purpose, that it should have sot, deliberated and passed one Bill— lhat is, that it should have had one Session: for otherwise, in case of the King's demise, not the members recently elected or now electing, but Ihe last dissolved Parliament, would have to assemble, and ibe whole of these elections would be nugatory and void. THE MARVELLOUS.— VVefoitml ibe following fact in Ibe Journal du Commerce de Lyons:— Dr. Jame Hotham, of Morpeth, in Northumberland, returning from Switzerland, is stated to have reported that most extraordinary event had lately happened at the foot nf Mount St. Gotliard, a league from Aizoli, in Ihe valley of Lcvantinn. At Ibe bottom of a kind of cavern, the body of a man about 30 years of age was perceived under a heap of ice proceeding from an avalanche. As the body seemed to be as fresh as if it had been stifled only half 1111 hour before, Dr. Hotham caused it to be taken out, and having bad the clothes pulled off, ordered it lo be plunged into cold water. It was then discovered that it was covered with a crust of ice. It was then placed in luke- warm water, still warmer afterwards; it was put iu a warm bed, and treated as usual ill cases of suffocation, by which means animation was restored. What was the astonish- ment of every body when this individual, having re- covered the use of bis faculties, declared that he was Roger Dodsworth, son of the antiquary of Ihe same name, born in 1629, who returning from Italy in 1600, a year after the death of his father, was bound under ail avalanche. Dr. Hotham, according to the same account, is staled to have added that Mr. Dods- worth feels a great stiffness ill all his joints, but that by degrees thev will bcconie as flexible as before Ihe accident. If Mr. Dodswurth, fully recovered, should pass through Lyons lo return to bis country afler 1( 56 years absence, it may be predicted ( hat he will attract in the highest degree the public curiosity. ( CONTINUED.) EMS, is one of the most ancient watering places in Germany. This pretty village is situate in a narrow valley, about 12 miles from Cobleuth, in the Prussian territories; it is traversed by the river Lahn, and contains about 40 dwelling- houses. The environs of this place are beautiful and interesting, surrounded on all sides by wood. These baths are not' sufficiently known, and their merits not fully appreciated. They are distinguished by their aicaline properties, as also the carbonic acid and calcarious earth which they contain; their heat rises from 17 degrees of Reaumur's thermometer, to 37. They are used with decided benefit in pulmonic diseases, both externally and internally, as also in many complaints incident to females. There are two principal bath hotels, the High anil the Low, one containing a great number of apartments; but there are also several other baths w ith apartments where individuals may be accommodated. The tables d'hote are also excellent: in one of the saloons, 100 people generally sit down to dinner. The amusements here are chiefly excursions to different parts of the surrounding country; to a romantic dale about a mile distant, called Pfingst- weide; to Nassau, about 5 miles; to the town of Coblenth, and the fortifications of Ehrenbreitsteisn, Ems itself has also numerous attractions, pleasure- gardens, assemblies, and promenades: the pump- rootn is surrounded with neat shops, where may be obtained various little articles of curiosity ; in fact, here are many inducements for the invalid to spend a few weeks. WIESBADEN.— The mineral waters at this place resemble, in their nature and properties, those of Baden, consequently their effects are the same. Among the surgical diseases in which they have proved useful, are contractions, anchyloses, inve- terate fistulous ulcers, cancers, schirosities, and scrofulous sores. There are 14 warm, and 2 cold mineral sources. The warmest spring is the Kock- brunnen, which is 52 degrees of Reaumur's ther- mometer; and in the outskirts ofthe town, is a sulphureous spring. There are about 24 bathing houses. The principal, however, are the Court of England, the Eagle, the Rose, and the Bear, l^ ach bath has accommodation for lodgers. The tables d'hote are rather expensive. The saline impregna- tion of the waters of Wiesbaden is so strong as to render them unfit for internal use, with the excep- ion of one or two of the wells, one of which is in the market- place. Nature has also been liberal in the situation and environs of Wiesbaden. The rides are delightful, that to the charming valley of Neresthai and the village and chateau of Sonnen- berg, which are about two miles from the baths. This chateau is built on the summit of a calcarious rock, and was supposed to have been founded by Lnnno, a German Prince. From these fine ruins you have a delightful and extensive view. About 2A miles from Wiesbaden is Klarenthal, an ancient female convent, founded by Adolphusand his wife Imogine. There are various other delightful little excursions w hich may be made in this neighbour- hood. The town itself contains a good library, a museum of antiquities and productions of modern art, and a fine public promenade. SCHLANGEMBAD.— This place is six miles distant from Wiesbaden, its situation and scenery are highly calculated to please and captivate a romantic disposition; and we have observed, in onr experi- ence, that by far the greater number of travellers, male and female, are of this description. Let them spend the close of the season, then, nt Schlangenbad. Art has undoubtedly contributed much to its com- fort and accommodation ; but, nevertheless, 011 sur- veying its natural advantages, one is tempted to say that it owes every thing to nature. Art has indeed done homage to the simple charms of the place, by providing habitations for his admirers who peiiodi- cally resort to its celebrated springs, and its peaceful and lovely retreat, for the invigoration of their health ; for this also, therefore, it is indebted to the same bountiful source to which it owes its medicinal waters, its agreeable walks, and the rich arborage by which it is sheltered, and as it wore shut out from the world— its prospects, anxieties, expecta- tions, business, aud cares. It should consequently be visited by persons who desire quiet and serenity more than schemes of pleasure, and by persons who towards the end of the season become tired and fastidious even of amusements, by those who seek rest from the bustle of fashionable life, as well as by those who retire for an interval from more sub- stantial occupations. Its two oldest establishments, those of Mentz and Hesse, are connected by a corridor. They have three springs, with ten baths and one pnmp. Two of the baths are of porcelain, and one of marble. There are six other baths in the new establishment. Considering the great accommodation, which is here offered to bathers, and the small revenue which is derived from the place, its maintainanee is said to be a great sacrifice to humanity. The baths are celebrated for their good management. The neigh- bouring height of Badenhausen commands one of tbe finest views ou the Rhine; and the famous ruins called the Vieux Burg, are seen in another direc- tion. There is some dispute among the learned as to the medicinal principle of the Schlangeubad water. Bernardi— on tlie Jirt of Swimming. [ FROM THE QUARTERLY' REVIEW.] " This is the production of a Neapolitan Cation, Oronzio di Bernardi, discursive arid long- winded to excess, but at the same time containing many useful hints. * * * " It is, our author truly says, the unfortunate pro- pensity to look down, and in a manner to embrace the water, casting the arms about, that. occasions the inexperienced to sink— every struggle forcing the body deeper and counteracting its natural tendency, if it were but kept tranquil and the lungs inflated, to rise to thesurface. Violent struggling and throw- ing the limbs about would, in the same manner, infallibly deprive the body of the faculty of loco- motion, or of retaining its erect posture on land. Every swimmer knows that by holding himself per- fectly still and upright, asif standing, with his head somewhat thrown back so as to rest on the surface, his face will remain entirely above water, enabling him to enjoy full freedom of breathing. The only difficulty is to observe due balance of the body, and this is secured by extending the arms laterally ' under the surface of the water, with the legs separated the one to the front and the other behind, thus presenting resistance to any tendency of the body to incline to either side, forward, or backward. This posture may be preserved in perfect equilibrium for any length of time. lu general when the human body is immersed, one- eleventh of its weight will remain above the surface in fresh water, and one- tenth in salt water. " It is natural to suppose that the less we alter our method of advancing ill the water, from what is habitual to us onshore, we shall find a continued exercise of it the more easy. According to this principle, the usual position of the swimmer stretched flat 011 bis face, and the head held as much back on the shoulders as possible— is liable to ob- jection! Savages are observed to urge their forward progress in an attitude nearly as upright as when they walk or run ou land. Hence their motions are easy, the head is in perfect liberty, and the hands ready to be used when wanted. " In teaching, Bernardi proceeds upon a plan considerably different from the usual one; his primary object is to enable the pupil to float in an upright posture, and to feel a decided confidence in the buoyancy of his body. He proceeds at first with as great caution and deliberation as a nurse teaching a child to walk, supporting the pupil uuder the shoulder until he floats tranquilly with the head aud part of tbe neck above the surface, the arms being stretched out horizontally ' under' water; from time to time the supporting arm is removed, but again restored so as never to allow the head to sink, which would disturb the growing confidence, and give rise to efforts destructive to the suecess of the lesson. I11 this early stage, the unsteadiness of the body is the chief difficulty to overcome; against this we are disposed, from our habits on land, to trust to the resisting fulcrum of the heel, which cannot, in a yielding medium, prove of any avail. Instead of the heel, it is tbe head which, like the rudder of a ship, is the great regulator of our move- ments in water. The smallest inclination of the head and neck to either side instantly operates 011 the whole bodyT, aud if not corrected, will throw the body into an horizontal posture. The pupil has therefore to be taught how to restore- any distur- bance of the j ust equilibrium, by a cautious move- ment of the' head alone in an opposite direction. The first lesson familiarized by practice, he is then taught the use of his legs for balancing ihe boely in the water; the one of these being stretched forward and the other behind, and the arms laterally, he will soon find himself steadily sustained, and inde- pendent of further aid in floating.— Fat people being naturally more erect, find Tess difficulty in acquiring lliis upright position with steadiness than thin per- sons; and none experience so much as those who have acquired the habit' of stooping. " Swimming on the back, although at first some- thing difficult, soon becomes easy, and is in every respect a most important attainment; being attended with little fatigue, and in practice so safe, that it ought ever fo be resorted to upon the occurrence of any difficulty. A swimmer seized with cramp should immediately turn on his back; and by continuing for a little to jerk out the affected limb iu the air, taking care however not to elevate it so high as to disturb the equilibrium of the body stretched Hat on the surface, he will soon find its natural powers re- stored." As to the success of his practices, Bernardi says— " I having been appointed to instruct the youths of the Royal Naval Academy of Naples in the art of swimming, a trial of the proficiency of the pupils took place, uneler the inspection of a number of people assembled on the shore for that purpose on the ' tenth' day of their instruction. A twelve- oared boat attended the progress of the pupils, from motives of precaution. They swam so far out into the bay, that at length the heads ofthe young men could with difficulty be discerned with the naked eye, and the Major- General of Marine, Forteguerri, for whose inspection the exhibition was intended, expressed serious apprehensions for their safety.— Upon their return to the shore, the young men how- ever assured him, that they felt so little exhausted, as to be willing immediately to repeat the excursion. " A young man, Niccola Sciarrone, quite unac- quainted with swimming, was placed under my care. On Ihe eleventh day of his instruction we entered the water together, accompanied by Signor Romolo, an excellent swimmer; we proceeded far into the bay of Naples, making a circuit before our return to the shore of nearly six miles ; upon this occasion likewise a numerous concourse of spectators as- sembled." of votes by lhat hour, at the expiration of which the Mayor declared the numbers— Mr. Monck 580— Mr. Spence 492— Mr. Palmer 488. Scarcely a vote re- mained unpolled;. Mr. Milman, the Oxford Professor of Poetry, while endeavouring to induce a person tot poll who said lie would not vote, had a very dis- agreeable rencontre with another person. The prices nf various articles during the contest wore remarkable.- Cats, canaries, asparagus, aud cheese, are said tot have been worth extravagantly high priccs to Mr; Palmer and Mr. Monck. A cat, according to report^ biougbt £ 15, a canary bird £ 10, and cheese rose to the enormous price of 15s. a pound ; as to as', paragus, such was the value set 011 it by one O'f Messrs. Monck and Palmer's friends, that at so early an hour as four in the morning, he offered £ 5 a hundred for it. A scrutiny is talked of, and a sub- scription entered into for that purpose. MALDON.— The unparalleled contest for this borough terminated at three o'clock on Friday, when ihe numbers were— for Mr. Winn 1747, Lennaril 1454, Dick 1401. The struggle continued with un- abated vigour to the last. Mr. Dick polled 011 Friday 43 voles, Mr. Winn 33, Mr. Lcunard 35. The Mayor's Court was crowded almost to the last hour wilh voters, and the agents demanding admission lo Ihe freedom ; and although more than 2000 persons have been admitted during the election, the admis- sions on Friday were above 40. The total number of votes pulled is 3900; probably double the number that any one imagined ihe borough lo possess before the present election. Mr. Richard Wilson and Mr. Horace Twiss were very active in be- half of Mr. Dick, and immense bets were depending 011 the result. Coaches and carls were continually arriving loaded with paupers and persons of the lower orders brought from the most distant parts, where Mr. Dick's ageuls could take up auy one bearing the name, or claiming alliance with any freeman ou ihe corporation books, who have all thronged into the Mayor's Court, where nine out of ten iiave been commonly rejected, as having no claim according to the charter of usage. The sums thus fruitlessly spent have been enormous. Mr. Lennard's friends have been more circumspect, and their cases have, iu the majority of instances, been received. Among oilier expedients, several marriages have been actually got up and solemnized by license, and the blushing brides, loadeel with blue and while favours, have come to present their hus- bands with I he freedom, on condition of voting for Dick, the ladies' favourite— licenses, wedding din- ners, rings, & c. of course being provided by the pauper Benedicts themselves. As soon as itfc num. hers were announced 011 Friday, by the Mayor, Mr. Dirk appeared on the hustings, and demanded a scru- tiny of Mr. Lennard's voles, which demand was hailed with vociferous applause by his partizaus. Mr. Peter Wright and Mr. Agnis immediately slepped forward, and demanded, on tbe part of Mr. Leuuard, that if a scrutiny was granted al all, it should be of the whole poll, including Mr. Winn's votes. The worthy Mayor immediately returned into Ihe Town Hall, attended by Mr. Walford, the assessor, and the Coun- sel for the Candidates, when a long argument took place for and against ihe grant of a scrutiny. The discussion lasted two hours, and the result was ihe Mayor declared he saw 110 ground for any scrutiny, and declared Mr. Winn and Mr. Leimnrd duly elected. These gentlemen relumed thanks, as did also Mr. Dick, who said, that, though vanquished, he had re- deemed hit pledge, and enabled every freeman to exercise his franchise. Mr. Lennard and Mr. Dick then cordially shook hands, nnd the Mayor retired. Mr. Winn and Mr. Lennard were chaired in very elegant chairs, and surrounded by an enormous con- course of their friends and Ihe populace. ELECTIONS IN IRELAND. ELECTIONS. A singular circumstance occurred in the Senate one evening during the Cambridge University Elec- tion. A London pick- pocket, dressed as a Master of Arts, managed to introduce himself into the body of the Senate House, and mixing without suspicion in this disguise, among its members, contrived, as is supposed, successfully to exercise bis vocation upon the pockets of several. He was at last detected attempting a gentleman's pocket close to the Vice Chancellor's table, during the time a discussion was going on aboeit a contested vote. He was im- mediately stripped of his borrowed plumes, and taken before Dr. Webb of Clare Hall, by whom ho was remanded for further examination. On search- ing him, £ 35 were found in his pockets, the fruits of his day's labour. WELLS.— This very arduous contest closed 011 Thursday week, when Ihe old Members, Messrs Tud way and Taylor, were declared duly elected, the numbers being,— for Tudway, 147—- Taylor, 138— Edwards, 120— Williams, llti. Every exertion iiad been made on both sides to ensure success, and voters were brought not only from the extremity of Cornwall, and oilier distant parts of England, but also from the Continent. One of the electors having made a wager that Messrs. Edwards and Williams would be elected, was disqualified 011 thai ground when became 10 offer his vote, much lo his annoy- ance. The blue parly, though defeated, appear lo he by 110 means subdued : a " Blue Club" is about lo be established, and threats have been expressed of appealing to the House of Commons as to the legality of Ihe present return. The. scrutiny has been so great, as frequently to occupy the attention of counsel fi, 7, 8, and 10 hours, in disputing a single vote. HEADING.— The history of elections scarcely fur- nishes an instance in which stronger parly feeling has been displayed than during this contest. Mr. Wake- field, who resigned to give Mr. Spence, the other Ministerial candidate, the chance of the split votes, was very active iu favour of Ihe latler, aud afler his resignation the contest was entirely between Messrs. Fyshe Palmer and Spencer, Mr. Monck being so far a head as to be quite certain of his return. On the Monday, Palmer and Spence were equal, ycl Pal. nier's friends appeared confident of success. On the Tuesday morning it was agreed that the poll should finally close at five o'clock, and to the astonishment and dismay of the Yellows, Spence polled a majority [ FROM THE LONDOX PICKET.] The progress of the Irish elections is a matter too- pregnant with important consequences to lose hastily' its interest. Onr English readers vvill not blame' our continued attention to this subject, when they consider that the contest in Ireland between the- Popish priests and the Protestant people, includ- ing the few Noblemen and Gentlemen who stilt linger there, must ultimately reach England ; and that its direct immediate effect maybe ( and as far as it has gone has been) to throw into the House of Commons, the nominees of the most implacable foes ofthe British nation and the reformed religion;— we hasten, therefore, without farther apology, to offer a brief digest of the contents of our Irish letters. In the county of Waterford, Mr. Stuart, the no- minee of the priests, has been returned by the mere- effect of intimidation, to which the almost universal? ; defection of the Roman Catholic tenantry of Lord G. Beresford scarcely contributed any help. Mr. Stuart's mobs were regimented, distinguished by colours ( in direct contravention of the Irish election laws), and in some cases armed. Lord George Beresford's voters were therefore excluded from the Poll by an organized force. I11 Westmeath, a person was excommunicated publicly for carrying a message to bring up Mr. Smith ( the Protestant candidate's) voters; and as the judgments of the Priests are always promptly executed, he was waylaid and murdered the same night. In Armagh, and in Cavan also, outrages have been committed ; but the counties of Mayo, Galway, antl Kerry, present the most remarkable scenes of disorder and violence;— in the first, as indeed in the other two, nearly all the electors are Roman Catholics, and all the candidates, of course, vehement liberalists; nevertheless, tbe Priests of Mayo thought proper to interfere, and having turneel out one of their former members, they organised a mob to murder the other, who, with some of his friends, was set upon by night, aud narrowly es- caped with his life. One person, at least, was killed in this affray.— 111 Galway many murders have been committed. In Kerry the election has been stained with a frightful massacre. Shocking as is the picture presented by these contests, it is full of valuable instruction, both to the Irish landlords and to the people of this country.. The former have now had a sharp lesson, as to the profit of " making freeholders" and they will here- after, perhaps, be able to strike a just balance between the respective advantages of an intelligent, solvent, grateful, and loyal Protestant tenantry, and the barbarian pauper Papists, with whom, for the sake of high rents and political influence, they have peopled their estates; and who are ihe priests'' men at the election, and the men ofthe Priests* Lieuten- ant, Capt. Rock, all the rest of their lives. The people of England, too, will see, by the example of Mayo, Galway, and Kerry, that it is not " Catholic Emancipation" alone the holy fathers want; ( for in those counties all the candidates are emancipa- tionists), but the absolute nomination of the Legis- lators— of what Legislators! the legislators for the people of England, BANKRUPTS, JDLY 4.— William Jackson, nf White, alley, Coleman- street, smith.— Solomon Sims, of Chel- tenham, sawyer.— William Thomas Powell and Samuel Jackson, of Birmingham, silkmen.— Gabriel Newton, of Riring- haui, upholsterer.—.
