DISTRESSING CATASTROPHE—" Brighton, July 17 .— The Chain Peer has this morning had many Visitors, owing to its being known that the Life Preserving Apparatus of Captain Manby would be tried at its outer extremity. The great object of this apparatus is to convey a rope, by means of a ball, to which it is fixed, fired from a mortar, to a given point. It has been used about this line of coast, in repeated instances, with the desired effect. This morning the ball, with a rope attached, was discharged from the mortar, but in almost every trial the rope was snapped in twain, and the design for which it was so propelled frustrated. These disappointments gave rise to a suggestion, that a chain should be connected with the ball, and the rope with the chain, to ensure success, and the sug- gestion was immediately acted upon. No danger was anticipated, and the crowd at the southern head of the pier became more dense. The mortar, at length, was again discharged, but the chain, not three yards in length, was severed by it within two lengths of the rope, and was whirled through the air in a zigzag course, while the tope, with a brace of iinks attached to it, recoiled. The latter struck fine boy about nine years of ag£, named Bedford, Whose father we understand to be a solicitor, of Bedfonl- plafce, Holborn, and who, with his family, has occupied a house, No. 14, New Steyne, for some time past, 011 the lower part of the face and pn the neck, literally smashing the under jaw, dividing the carotid and jugular arteries, and destroying him on the spot. A gentleman was struck by the rope, or chaiu, at the same time, which tore his clothes, and lacerated his breast. A third person, a boy, had his hat whisked off by it, but escaped unhurt. We shall not attempt to describe the confusion, and the distress, which the fate of the poor little fellow HORSE- STEALING.— The horse fair at Winchcom$ J MODERN ATHENS, on Friday, drew together several desperate gangs The following extract of a letter from a genllemati of those ruffians who make a trade of their depre- at Alliens, gives an interesting description of that dations ; and still, regardless of the awful . examples celebrated city and its vicinity at lite present period •— recently made by the tevig- orated severity of the " One of lite pleasantcst walks from . the town is tt. law, carry 011 their felonious practices 4 ith as much [ ihe top of Mount Hyriiettns.

The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and Conscious rectitude ultimately triumphs in tlie attainment of the grand object — public approbation1. The test of experience is tin? guarantee of favour, and has estab- lished WARREN's BLACKING in general estimation, of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious pYe- paration as the genuine article, to the great disappoint- ment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. Ii becomes therefore an indispensable fluty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no Character to lose, and stimu- lated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a abort direction, wiih the signa- ure, Robert Warren. All others'are counterfeits ; and in tnany instances the I mposition labels are artfully interlined with a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It 1 is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others J who are deceived by base fabrication's of WARREN's BLACKING to return the detected' trash to th'e source J whence it came, and expose the uVa'chinutions of ras- cality to merited obloquy.

The unfortunate boy could have suffered nothing— he was kneeling at the end of the pier, on the seat, and peeping through the fence there, to notice what was going forward, when the fatal shot was fired, he fell instantly on the stone platform without a sigh or a struggle; and those nearest to him did not know what had occurred for the space of half a minute. The mutilated remains were borne to the White Ilorse Inn, there to await the Inquisition." EXPLOSION OF A POWDER- MILL.— An Inqui tion was taken on Friday, at tbe powder- mills belong- ing to Sir Charles Bate, Curtis, and Co. situated at Hounslow Heath, on the bodies of Wm Ind and Benjamin Horsey, who were killed by the sudden explosion of one of the mills on the morn- ing of last Tuesday. After hearing tbe evidence, the Coroner summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death, occasioned by the explosion 6f the mill, but from what cause, from the evidence before them, tbey v^ ere unable to say. The effects of the explosion were most powerfully felt in the town of Hounslow and the village of Twickenham, although both places are distant about three quarters of a mile. The noise of the explosion was appalling', and was accompanied by a precipitate and vibratory motion of the earth, as if from a slight earthquake. The casements of tlie houses rattled violently, and, in some instances, small articles of furniture were thrown down A Captain of an Indiaman purchased two of the largest draught horses he could get in this kingdom and had them taken to Calcutta, where he sold them to some one, who resold them, to. the Nawaub of Lucknow for 10,000 rupees (£ 1250). They wen fine animals, and he took great delight in shewing them to the native Gentlemen, calling them the English elephants. For a long time he amused himself daily in seeing what a quantity of grain they devoured at each meal; ill fact, they were never put to any use whatever, and were soon killed by over feeding. BURMESE IGNORANCE or EUROPEAN CUSTOMS The following anecdote is curious, as shewing how utterly ignorant the Burmese tire of the customs of European warfare. In one of tho recent action with the enemy, a wounded X- iurman was taken prisoner. His leg' was so dreadfully shattered, that amputation was absolutely necessary to save the man's life. The operation was accordingly performed by our surgeons; but instead of being thankful for the humanity thus shewn him, he asked when the work of mutilation would be resumed, and when his other leg ( perfectly sound) and his arms were to be cut off? thinking, no doubt, that thus the English were accustomed to treat their prisoners taken in war 1 UNNATURAL ATFO MYSTERIOUS TRANSACTION.— A very singular atsd mysterious circumstance oc- curred a short time since at Ssaford. On Sunday week, the 16th nit. a gentleman a'nd lady came in a gig to that place, and endeavoured to procure a person to take charge of a child which they brought with them, and which they stated to be more than a week old. After several ineffectual attempts, they induced a young woman, named Green, ( the mother of two children) to agree fo take it. The child was immediately taken to her house; a sove- reign, and a bundle of clothes were delivered to her with the child, and the parties instantly drove out of the town. On the following' day the infant died, and the woman, ( it having been stated that it was not christened,) had it privately buried in the church- yard. In a day or two, however, the circum- stance! became publicly known, and the respectable inhabitants thought it proper that some inquiry should be mutle info the subject. An inquest was held on Monday last, when it appeared that the poor babe had evidently been taken from its mother immediately after its birth; and it was also given as the opinion of Mr. Verral, the surgeon, that no medical' attendant could have been present at the birth, and not even any old woman conversant in such matters. The day upon which the child was brought to Seaford, was a windy and somewhat rainy day; and Mrs. Green deposed, that when it was delivered to her it was extremely cold. The bundle of clothes proved to be a collection of old ragged apparel, which had belonged to children of all ages, and not one atom of which could have been made for the poor infant in question. As nothing appeared in evidence befoiv the Jury to lead them to suppose that auy steps had been taken for the destruction of the child, they very properly delivered a verdiot of " Died by the visitation of G: but they added, that they were of opinion that its death had been accelerated by improper exposure at so early a period after its birth. The gentleman who brought the infant to Seaford, left his address with Mrs. Green, as " Mr. Brookes, of Ninfield, near Battle," und when the poor Woman wrote to announce its death, a letter from the same person was received in reply. It is there- fore fcoped, that inquiries may be instituted in that neighbourhood, which may expose to public odium, and to condign punishment, all the parties concerned in thi § inhuman and unnatural transaction. — Brigh- ton Herald. The new planet Herschel may be seen this year on the meridian at midnight. It appears to the eye as a small star of the 5th magnitude. It will con- tinue visible in the evening for about nineteen weeks. Roberts, the inventor of tbe safety- hood, is now exhibiting in- Paris. He has made a successful experiment by order of the Board of Health, in a sewer which had so long been filled up, as no person could -^ iter it with safety, owing to the hydrogenous sulphuric gas which it contained. Roberts, how ever, penetrated more than 100 yards, without experiencing inconvenience, and remained nearly Italf an hour. Two men who accompanied him few yards only, were nearly suffocated, tie is next to make tbe experiment with Sre. daring as if the retributive arm of'justice were never destined to arrest their career of guilt. On the occasion to which we immediately refer; the streets of Winchcomb w, ere infested with thieves from every quarter of. tbe county-~ aticl especially from liiti Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, and Bristol districts; We have consequently heard of not less than eight cases in whioii horses were stolen; and eighteen in which pocltets were picked, beside multifarious offences of a lower grade— thus did the rogues pursue their " vocation," with success pro- portioned to the depth of their Bchemes, and the hardihood of their undertaking. An experienced farmer, who had for many years attended fairs) \ yas at last doomed to be one of , their victims— nay the very first: for on pretence of making trial of the paces of the horse on which lie rode, lie suffered an apparently respectable young man to jump on the saddle, while he took charge of a showy but worth- less animal which was oifered him in exchange, when the thief turning coolly round with " Good bye, Frtrnier!" galloped off with his prize, and was speedily out of sight. Amongst other horses stolen on this occasion was a valuable cob, the property of Mr. Croad, of Chel- tenham, solicitor, who ha^ sent his clerk, Mr. Jones, to the fair for the purpose of selling the animal. He was soon surrounded by a party of fellows, who, as the result proves, were all known to each other. Before entering into any. bargain, Mr. Jones, ou seeing a horse- dealer, of the name of Chapman, from Cheltenham, enquired of him whether he should be quite safe in dealing with these men, one of whom had tnade an offer for the horse ? To this, Chapman, intimidated, it is said, by the number of rogues assembled on every side, replied with too little hesitation, " Oh, yes."— Every stratagem was subsequently resorted to by some of the villains to have the horse led down to the extremity of a lane to try his paces, but on finding Jones tod vigilant to be thus easily deluded, a feigned sale was instanter got up between a well- dressed young fellow, who said he " had a tall mare belonging to his sister to dispose of," and one of his colleagues, whd to carry on the deception offered £ 3. S for the mare; and the " yonng farmer," as lie affected to Ixi, bidding with more confidence for the cob ridden by Jones, which he " wanted for a gig horse," agreed that the pur- chaser of his sister's mare should hand over lhat sum lo Jones in payment. This proposal was ac- ceded to by all parties ; wiien they prevailed upon Jones to accompany them . to the George Inn, to conclude the sale. The jreftj^ maii- purchaserhaving I island obtained permission to ride tbe cob up to the Inn, requested Jonesto go into the house with his friend; but he refused to let the horse out of his possession or sight for a moment: upon which the supposed pu. chaser of the mare holding out a pocket- book filled with papers resembling bank- notes, as the purchase- money he had agreed to band over; in- duced him to enter the house, on the specious and plausible pretext that " it was uot prudent to expose so much money as'his pocket book contained in a fair, where to uianj very suspicious looking persons were about!"

Having at length entered the Inn, the practised villain who was to pay over the money, almost instantaneously huddled his way into a crowd in the stable yard, and before Jones could make out what course he had taken, or whither he was gone, the conviction flashed across his mind that he had become the dupe of most designing viliains— not- withstanding all the precautious he had lised. He ran back to the Inn door, and found his worst fear realized— the well- dressed and gentlemanly looking " purchaser" had actually ridden off with the horse. He ran after and had nearly overtaken him before he had passed the turnpike- gate on the Stow road, I f,,". Vslt'- s but soon finding such a mode of pursuit fruitless, he returned to the George Inn, where the robber had left " his sister's mare ;" and as he was about to set out agaiti, he found himself beset by a crowd ofthe thief's accomplices, offering to purchase, and bid ling al! prices for, the mare, in order to delay him ; but breaking through them, he pushed on so rapidly as to come within sight of the stolen horse and his rider. At the distance of four miles from Winch- comb, Jones overtook Mr. Smith, surgeon, from Broadway, who being on his way homo when the hue and cry was first raised, pursue'd the thief, and list as he had seized the bridle and was about to secure the culprit, an accomplice galloped up from a wood by the road side, and struck him so violent a blow with a bludgeon, as to fling him from bis horse and split his hat completely.

Mr. LtntoW, in compli- ance wiih die Uequi* iiion contained in our Paper of the 26i li, visited his lVieuds at Bridgnorth-, and the jo?' ou « excitement which pervaded « H classes during i;. e vvhoie of the day, strongly e vinced the unbounded e*! eemund respect in which « bat Gentleman is held by the general body of the inhabitants of that town aud • neighbourhood. J- or several hours previously to the arrival of Mr. iLudiow, gioupes of persons were seen collecting" and moving ton aids the extremity of ihe town at which !)*• wn* expec'. fld to enter, and ' ns the diwner hour ap- prbaehvd, the impatience and anxiety of the populace became intense. At length ( soon after three o'clock), * salute of cannon j^ ave the signal of IUi\ Ludlow's approach, and to describe the t'lithutsiasm which now universally prevailed ia utterly iftipo'ssible. Mr. Ludlow A as accompanied by his friend f H. C. Hay ton, Esq. of Moretou Court, Herefordshire,, ia an open carriage. The horses were iurn. edhiieiy tak- en' from it l » ) the ' delighted populace, by whom it was drawn into the town. The gentlemen ou horseback ( many of whom had met Mr. Ludlow sosiie distance out of the town), together with those on foot who had waited Ins arrival, and a large body of people with a band of music, and colours ( lying, arranged themselves in regular order of process ion. As the. escort moved along the line of streets^ it received an accession of numbers from ( lie coiiffueih'e of numerous small parties which hud assembled wt various points along w hich it passed. The windows" Were tilled with fair spectators, the beiis rang their merriest- pearls,' and the cavalcade moved forwards, cheered by the smiles of the ladies and greeted by the deafening and unceasing accla- mations of the surrounding multitude. The proces- sion halted at the house of William Lionel Lampe. t, Esq. in Castle- stieet, and its approach was announced by another salute of earinon. Here Mr. Luftldw alighted, after having first briefly, but energetically, addressed the immense multitude around him, thank- ing them for the denjdiiKtration of kindness and joy. with which they had received him, declaring that, the feelings of gratitude which hiled bis mind prevented his saying what the occasion required, and assuring them of his willingness at any future time to come forward in support of their Freedom of Election . This must have been one of the prefitd'est days in tlie Fife of Mr. Ludlow. Snch distinguished honours reflected equal credit on those who paid and on him who received them.' It was not the servile adulation « f mercenary and interested individuals selfrshly seek- ing for some future equivalent favour in return, but the spontaneous tribute of grateful admiration from a tree, loyal, and independent people, to the zealous defender of the Throne and the Altar, the patriotic supporter, of our glorious Constitution, and the elo- quent advocate of their own elective rights arid privileges. Shortly after the arrival of Mr. Ludlow,, dinner was announced, und Mr. Ludlow, accompanied by a host of friends, repaired to the Townhall. Notwithstanding the shortness of the notice, although several of the neighbouring Clergy. were prevented from attending, iu consequence of the day being Saturday, and a vast number of the yeomanry Y* ere also detained at home from the state of the harvest, yet a party of nearly 120 persons, the most respectable as well as most nume- rous that had, perhaps, ever sat down in the Mall, assembled. The dinner was of the most sumptuous description, aud though necessarily prepared at seve- ral places, was served up as readily and as hot ( as Mr. L. good- humpuredly observed) as if it had been cooked under the table ; or as if, in tiie words of . George Col man, the company had assembled " imme- diately over the oven. The Rev. J. CLARK presided ( with tlie greatest ability and amenity), supported by Mr. LUDLOW OS* his right and the liev. E. S. DAVENPORT on the left. The Vice- Chair was ably filled by ( JTIORGB BISIITON, Esq. After the cloth was withdrawn, the Rev. Chairman proposed —" The &. ing" ( 4 times 4), and said it was unnecessary to say more in mentioning a toast which would convey. itself to the heart of every Englishman; and long may our. gracious Sovereign live fo reign over us. The band played " God save the King." He then gave iu succession, " The Duke'of York, and a speedy Pecovery to him"--" The Duke of Clarence and the Navy"— u The Principle* which placed the House of Brunswick oil the Throne" ;— all of which were received with the greatest applause; and were followed by t( The Duke of Wellington and the Heroes of Waterloa"~" A Battle and a Victory," • aid ihe Chairman,, " which sealed the fate, not of this country only, but of a great portion of Europe."— " The Protestant Ascendancy"—" Our glorious Con. stitiltion." It was unnecessary, the Chairman ob- served, to eulogize the Brilish Constitution. We lived wider it, and enjoyed daily the blessings it imparted; and he trusted our posterity vvould enjoy, admire, and support* it. The exertions ofthe Freemen of Bridg- north, at the late Election, shewed that they wished- to tie enrolled among its active supporters in one of its most important forms— the Exercise of the Elective Franchise! and he made no doubt, - that when another • uch occasion presented itself, they Would successfully assert their privileges, as well for the sake of them- selves as posterity. The previous toasts had been succeeded by appro- priate airs, and the delightful notes of " Sweet Home" were, with much taste, selected toaecompanv this. The next toast was, " May the Men we trust be honest, and the Land we live in free," which seemed to he well understood by the company, and was drau. k with loud plaudits. The CHAIRMAN then said lie rose to perform the most important part of his office, an office which he vvould have been happy to have seen confided fo abler . hands. ( Applause, and cries of " No, no /") He trusted,, however, that the cause would not suffer . through any inability on his part. It would be easily perceived that the name he had to mention was that of the boil, gentleman ( or, as he hoped lie might now presume to call him, his hon. friend) on his'right, Mr. Ludlow. ( Loud applause.) That gentleman, he could assure them, was most worthy of their regard ; and he trusted, that the day, and the events which had led hint to if,, would be long remembered in the Borough of Bridgnorth. There was a propriety in his then introducing the name of Mr. Ludlow, because he had had the honour of being selected to propose him on the hustings at the late election. Ho had felt highly honoured by the selection, arid had undertaken to perform the office at the solicitation of many gentle- men known and esteemed by the present company. He had executed the task to his own dissatisfaction it was true, but that lie regarded not, for he found that his want of energy was supported by the enthusiasm of ihe independent Burgesses of Bridgnorth, aud that the weakness of his voice was strengthened by being echoed from the hearts of freemen ! The result of the Election, though a matter of regret, was easily ac- counted for. Mr. Ludlow laboured under heavy disadvantages, lie arrived only ou the Friday, and was put in Nomination a few hours afterwards. Yet, even under this unfavourable circumstance, it. would he fresh iu their recollection, lhat the shew of hands for Mr. Ludlow was second in number only to that of Mr. Thomas Whitmore. How could trhis'strong feeling he accounted for? The two gentlemen, Messrs. Whitmore ( of whom he would as individuals apeak with the highest respect), resided among them— had great influence as well as many claims on the bur- gesses. This all felt ; but'when the Electors of Bridgnorth saw that there was danger of the purity of the Constitution, in the exercise of the right of • election, being injured, all else became as nought in their consideration. They had shewn, that with them the support of the Constitution was an object much dearer than even the obligations of social ties. Their exertions, it was true, had not been crowned with success. Mr. Ludlow was not victorious in the contest. But he thought that Mr. Wolryche Whitmore, when looking at the late election, would be inclined to say with a great warrior of the last century ( Frederic of Prussia)," Another such a victory, and 3 am ruined." " But," continued the Chaii/ nan, " the contest is not over. 1 do not call it a defeat. When I look around rne, whom do I see ; A body of gentlemen of the highest respectability. . What has brought you hither t. v- day ? Your zeal, for loyal and honourable inde- pendence - your resolve to rescue this ancient Borough from the domination of a single family, and to lay it open for tlie unbiassed exercise of the Elective Franchise of it3 respectable BurgessCs. Whether we Oght the battle through Mr. Ludlow or not, is not the question. Your independence is the prize at which you aim, nud your victory must be eventually decisive. Go on, then, fearless of the future ; for I will assert, without, the apprehension of contradiction, that the seal of independence is irrevocably fixed on the Borough of Bridgnorth, and that no effort of purse or influence shall ever cancel it." lie then alluded to the Candidates in the late Election, and hoped that all animosities were buried iu oblivion. Their struggle had been great and glorious ; but its object was constitutional,- not personal. We hare no shield but Freed- om — no spirit but that of Independence— and the free Burgesses wanted no weapons hut those provided by . ihe Constitution. To excite that spirit had been the object of that gentleman who^ e health he was going to propose, nnd therefore to'i im would, under any circumstances, be mainly owing their freedom from undue influence, and to him would be eminently due, their gratitude — the gratitude of loyal and free- born Englishmen. It was true that time must elaps « before the expected victory could be buined. Death might make ravages among their uuaber. Tbe tongue which now addressed them might, ere that period, be silenced for, ever; and the eye which now gazed around with delight On tiie happy assemblage might be closed in eternal dark- ness. Many of• those around him might be no more. But their children would be the inheritors of their principles, aud i be, as from the ashes of their fathers, to uphold ihe same glorious cause." [ Loud applause.) " It is impossible," continued the eloquent speaker, " it is - impossible to he deaf ts the voice of your enthusiastic admiration of the conduct of Mr. Ludlow. I consider it as a prelude of the certain Return o'f that gentleman as out; Representative; and even when the time for the ' effort arrives, if I should be by the infirmities of age unfit to undergo the exertions neces- sary to he used, I shall still rojoice in your joy. 1 shall rejoios to be toid that Mr. Ludlow is your Repre- sentative. Aye then,' too, the beautiful hill,* and dales around yon will re- echo the name of Ludlow, and * Rapid Severn hoarse applause resound Gentle- men, 1 vvill not detain you a moment longer. Your eagerjooks anticipate the name lam going to give, iiemember, } give it as the name of a dear lover of freedom." ( Immense cheering.) " Mr. Ludlow," 3 times 3. ( The toast was drank iciih enthusiastic feeling J When the tumult of applause had subsided, Mr. LUDLOW rose, with evident emotion, ttnd said,— u If a deep sense of the honour which they had conferred upon him could prove that he deserved the distin- guished compliment which they had paid him, he might venture to assure them that he was not altoge- ther unworthy of it, for lie found if impossible for any worda to convey an idea of the feelings which over- powered him. Had he been accidentally present at such a meeting, and had such a meeting thought' fit to honour him bv proposing his health, it would call for his most grateful acknowledgments ; but this was no accidental occurrence — be had the honour to attend as kn invited guest*- a ri invitation which, followed as it washy the kindest, reception, would give the highest gratification to any one possessed of common feelings. There was no one, however high in rank, however honourable his station, however splendid in fortune, who must not feel proud of a compliment such as he. had received. What, then, should be the sentiments of the humble individual w ho addressed them, without any personal claims to their regard, and not even a resident in the county, honoured as he was by such a meeting — surrounded as he was by such a display of the Clergy, Gentry, and Yeomanry of the neighbour- hood, assembled for a purpose connected with his endeavours to attain to the honour of serving them in Parliament. Looking around, he must congratulate the meeting on the increasing strength of the cause,• nor would lie say much of the feebleness ofthe hands into w hich it bad fallen ; for so supported it must, gain strength, whatever tnay. be the weakness of its advo- cate. Had he. intruded himself into a Borough which might be fairly considered the property of a family possessing the right of nomination to both seats— had ue endeavoured to sow dissent ion among such a com- munity, he would allow that no apology from him would be sufficient ; but every gentleman present must feel that such was not the character of the eVent w hich bad brought him amongst them : it arose from their own honourable distinction between a Ion g- con- fen red compliment on the par! of the Freemen, and the construction of that cwmpiuftent by the family to whom it had .. been sojr. rd into a right to the nomination to both the seats of this Borough in Parliament. He would readily concede that much was due to Gentle- men who lived near, and probably conferred benefits on, a Borough; but, as an Englishman;, lie would assert the right of all who possessed an elective fran- chise to dispose of it according to their own free will. The reception of the toasts which had preceded the introduction of liis name, sufficiently evinced the political sentiments of the meeting : they had declared their value of that civil and religions liberty which vvas fostered by their glorious Constitution in Church and State. In Church and State,. I repeal ( said Mr. Ludlow), for I wish to combine the terms. ! atn decided in opinion, that this combination in common language is not a casual connexion, but that the pre- servation of civil and religious liberties are inseparably connected; and while the connexion of Church and State exists as prescribed by the Constitution, I be lieve we enjoy both kinds of liberty to their utmost extent, and that the instant a separation takes place, through any mistaken liberality of the age, the nroment our religious liberty is undermined— our civil liberty will inevitably follow. As an aspirant for the honour of representing you in Parliament, unless you should think it fit t © select another gentleman more able todo justice to your cause and defend your rights ( if such an one, a nearer resident, or one better know n, should be selected by you, I should cheerfully, and without a feeling of mortification, give way), it becomes me to state-,' thiil, ill my j mlmcriit, tiic Rtl'mWiw s. f the Catholics to the Legislature would be the death- blow to the liberties of this country, civil and religious. I wish not to avail myself of the popular cry of " No Popery," stigmatized as it is by the charge of intem- perance and vulgarity,— I would rather be supported by your hearts and your judgment ; buf if by these two words I can but express my horror and detestation of the Catholic system, I will he content to exclaim " No Popery," till a better form of words shall he found. In the history of our country it is clear, that the Catholic Religion is inseparable from arbitrary pi inciples. I do not call into question the indisputable right of the Catholics to the performance of their religious duties. ] have not a wish to set limits to the toleration of religious principles. It is the principle of the English Church and ofthe English Government that r. very one should be free to adore his Maker according to'the dictates of his con- science ; aud I will add, that irrall mv acquaintance with the Clergy of the Establishment, I have found no desire to lessen* the toleration to all sects of Protestant Dissenters. But this very principle, recognizing itas I do, compels me to oppose the admission D^ CR'. holies " into Parliament; for ] am convinced the efleet would be to cut up toleration— fo compel uniformity,, as fhey have done, to their modes of worship. Therefore, Gentlemen, I maintain that so far from it beiuof tlie duty of Englishmen to extend their toleration of Ca- tholics— the very prnciple of toleration ought to pre- scribe their exclusion froin the Legislature. And, after ail, this is their only disability. The liberality of late years has properly removed all just grounds of complaint, and 5 do not wish to have to pass a bill of exclusion against an heir apparent to the throne of I his kingdom, Yet in this predicament onr ancestors have been placed, and in a similar situation our posterity may find themselves,. if the barrier against Catholicism be once thrown down. " I shall not.( continued Mr Ludlow) longer occupy you by stating at greater length any arguments of this nature. They could have no influence on your minds. The very circumstance of your being assembled here proves your sentiments on this important subject. If Catholicism become the religion of the country, the present establishment exists no longer ;— See, then, how important it is to maintain that establishment in violate. " The question of the preservation of the civil and religious interests ofthe country, Mr. I, proceeded to say, V/ as closely connected in his mind with another topic of primary importance— the support of the Lauded Interest of the kingdom. To the land he looked for the preservation of the constitution, the administration of justice, the repair ofthe roads, the maintenance of the poor ; our magist rates, our jurors, our electors ( for counties, at least, which represented by far the greater part of the kingdom), all emanated from that interest. This was even seen and felt by intelligent Foreigners, who perceived that to the landed interest, and to its regulafi'ons, as old ns the time of the Saxons, the prosperity and stability of the community was mainly attributable. " I would not ( said Mr. L ) undervalue tbe infinite importance of commerce ; arid if any one should so interpret my meaning, he misunderstands me. All I say is, that whatever degree of prosperity shall pre- vail from the capital of our manufacturers, the ingenu- ity of our artizans, or the perfection of machinery, if the landed interest is broken down, ruin will inevitably follow to all classes. And is this interest to be sacri- ficed to the delusive cry of a large loaf? Of what consequence is it to the manufacturer in full employ, whether the loaf be large or small. Give him but employment, and he can afford the purchase at a fair remunerating price. And to what do the manufac- turer and the commercial man ( aud more especially during a period of distress) look for support but tiythe Landed Interest ? Not to the Gentry alone, but to the Yeomanry, who constitute the heart and veins of the country, aud by whom the circulation is kept up, and the stability of the country perpetuated." Mr. L. then proceeded to offer a few brief observa- tions on a subject of high interest connected with political economy. He declared it to be his firm opinion that any attempts to bring back the Currency to an entire metallic circulation would be attended with fatal effects. The Chairman had noticed the result of the glorious victory of Waterloo. That battle, and the wars which preceded it, had cost us an immense sum of money, and the advances having been made in paper, it was unfair to require payment in specie. Such a return to metallic currency would also be destructive to the country banks, aud, without wishing to encourage gambling speculations, he thought respectable country banks of vital importance, and deserving of encouragement. Mr. Ludlow then adverted to his own situation. With respect to what had passed, he felt but one prevailing sentiment : this vvas not regret that he had not succeeded ( though to have held the situation of their Representative wauld have been to him a source of the highest pride and gratification). The great sentiment With which he was penetrated was that of gratitude to the Burgesses of Bridgnorth for the sup- port. they had given him, a stranger* labouring under every disadvantage, arriviug, too, as he had done, » o late as t£ preclude the possibility of his paying them any personal. attention. He had also fo contend against other circumstances to which he would1 but slightly allude. But he could not help observing that, had he not been opposed by an irn ex- pec ted combination of votes, the result of the poll, he could not doubt, would have beetr very different from what it was. He men- tioned no names ; he uttered no complaints'; but it must be evident that many of tlie elector* would have honoured him with their votes, could they have com- bined them with one of the gentlemen opposed to him — while scarcely one of the 354 who did give him their rotes would have given the tenth part of a vote to the other of the candidates. It was, moreover, highly gratifying to him to express his conviction that not one act had. been done by any gentleman in his interest, - which might not be looked back to w ith satisfaction. ("- Truej true, true /") Mr. Ludlow here shortly alluded to the reasons which induced him to retire, and save bis opponents a moment's unnecessary trouble after his own chance of success did not appear certain' — ( Unanimouspia. udits) — adding that he had sat up throughout the- night in consultation w ith his friends, arid on coming to a con- elusion, the earliest communication, was made to" the other candidates. [" It is the fact— t am glad yon, have mentioned it, because a contrary report has been circu- lated 1" — from Captain Lampet.] One good result, however, must follow froth the contest : — it- was now as clear as the sun at noon- day that the Independence of the Borough was i iff he hands ofthe Electors. A lesson had been taught, that af the dissolution of Parliament, when a gentleman offered himself as delegate for any place possessing the privilege of appointing Representatives, a little cour- tesy must be paid to the rights and feelings of the electors. This was a lesson which late circumstances had'taught to every one who was not too high to learn. If he were, bye and bve, when conviction vVasv forced upon him> the knowledge might come too late for him to profit by it. With respect to the future, as he had said before, if tbe electors should wish to select, any gentleman nearer to them, whose claims. were stronger than his own, and of whose principles they approved, he would resign his pretensions io tbe honour of representing them with cheerfulness.; but if af the next opportunity they should still think as favourably of him, he should be most ready and willing to obey their call, and, unless circumstances should occur to render such a step impossible, he vvould be found at his post. " And now, Gentlemen," said M r. Ludlow, " I end a3 I began. The great and over powering feeling of my heart is gratitude for your support and encouragement ; and I must sit down, conscious of my inability to express my sense of the obligations that 1 owe to you." The address of Mr. Ludlow was heard with the deepest attention, and frequently interrupted by bursts of applause. Mr. LUDLOW then proposed " the- Bailiffs, Aldermen, and Burgesses of Bridgnorth." Mr. Alderman SHIPMAN returned thanks, and ex- pressed his hope that, the electors vvould never again lose sight of their best interests in their own if/ de pendence. The next toast was, ts The Independent 354 Burgess# s who voted for Mr. Ludlow, and oin'y their example in- crease their numbers. 1' . u The Clergy, Gentry, and lndepeHdt,' t1t: VYei » manry - of the neighbourhood, who united •. villi the Burgesses in support of Mr. Ludlow." The Rev. Mr'. DALE returned thanks. " Shamed," he said, "' he the hand, clerical or lay, that should re- fuse its aid to so good a cause. 11 " Mr. Hayton, and thanks to him for his Attendance." Mr. HAYTON briefly expressed his sense of the favour. The Vice- president then rose to propose a toast which Ire Was sure would be welcomed by all. It was, the President, with thanks to him for his attendance, and able conduct in the chair." Three times three. Drank amidst great applause. The Rev. CFIAIR'MAK said, he. felt all becoming grati- tude for the honour conferred upon him. It w; ns ever his delight to advance the cause of rational freedom, and he trusted he should live to see the dawn of it, now called forth by his friend Mr. Ludlow, rise to meridian splendour. Mr. Ludlow having proposed the health of tbe Vice- president, the Chairman snid9: " if he had more grati- fication in giving tlie health of oire gentleman than nnof'her, that gentleman Was Mr. Bishfon. Honourable and eminently useful himself, be came of as* honourable a family as any in the county of Salop." Mr. BIKHTON returned thanks, tie should n^' er re- lax in his support of the cause which had. called them together that day, and he should think that day the proudest of his life in which he should witness the re- iiirn. of Mr. Ludlow to Parliament, as repre. senSjvfiVo of Bridgnorth, f Loud QheersJ. " The Gentlemen who had that mo riling been ad- mitted Burgesses."* The Rey. E. S. DAVENPORT rose TO acknowledge the compliment. He had come on church and state prin- ciples to support a man who advocated the cause for which martyrs had bled, and he should not shrink from again pursuing the some course. .( Loud CheersJ.- W, B. BEST, Esq.. said he eon id hot adequately ex- press his sense of the honour done him by so Respectable and numerous a company assembled, to evince their re- spect to a man who had stood forward to support the independence of the borough. He hoped that he and his brother burgesses would always return nren emhued with constitutional principles, zealous for that, consti- tution which had stood tlie test of ages,- men who would fearlessly support these principles against' the political economists of the day, and. the bulls and edicts of ( he Pope. It had been said of Bridgnarthy that " its Elections were all on one side ;" he only hoped that the Gentlemen who represented it would vote together on the right side, and he confidently trusted that at the next election they should be able to meet the gentleman now present, not as Mr. Ludlow ouly, but as their Re- presentative in Parliament. WILLIAM LIONEL LAMPET, Esq. and other Gentle- men, made similar acknowledgments. " The Rev. Mr. Dethiek" was next proposed by the . Chairman, who, in putting the toast, paid a handsome tribute to the character of his venerable and respected friend, whom he had known since their College days. The Rev. Gentleman returned thanks. He had always endcavostred to discharge with integrity the duties of his office, both clerical and political, and was proud of their approbation. He. should always recollect that one of his predecessors bad shewn his independence by re- fusing to read in his Church a Bull of the Pope. Could he then do less thau strenuously oppose all efforts to introduce Popery ? u Mrs. Ludlow and her ami '. Me family " Mr. LUDLOW expressed his feelings on the occasion. This kindness to his family added M the obligation which he had already received from the company, and should any of them be led by anv cin'um.?' ti!-' ces near his residence he should he most happy to see ibem. He could not oti'er them a feast like that to which they had invited him, but his beef and mutton should be iheirs' with a most hearty welcome. " The Committee of Mr. Ludlow at tiie late Elec- tion." Captain STOKES acknowledged this toast, and oavc " The Solicitors of Mr. Ludlow at the late Elec- tion " Mr. VICXEBS replied. He was proud to have seen the flag of independence unfurled in this borough, and hoped no efforts would ever be strong enough again to close its folds. He assured the company that, there could not. now be a doubt of Mr. Ludlow's success. " The Rev. Mnithew ' Pilkin. gt. on and the Clergy who have contributed to the support of Mr. Ludlow." The Rev. Gentleman said a few appropriate words in aek nowiedgmenf. " Mrs. Dei hick and the Ladies of Bridgnorth." The Rev. T. DETHICIS returned thanks. Tlve CHAIRMAN then rose. His friend, Mr. Dethick, had Mr, Thomas Whitmore bad not proved himself a man of honour at the late election. He had pledged himself that he had not, nor would not, by direct or indirect means, . influence any vote. Yet he had used such influence' He ( Mr. D.) could refer to documents in support of his assertion. He had no fear in saving w hat lie did. He e<> u! d produce facts in support of what he said. ( Heahear9 hear). Loud' symptoms of the unwillingness of tbe compnny fo drink the toast being evinced, it was abandoned, and The CHAIKMAN rose to propose the health of a Gen- tleman, the successor of one who had been defeated in a contest on that very arena with the ancestor of Mr. Whitmore, and who from a full conviction ofthe nature of the means which had been used against him, laid his hand at the close of the election on the arm of his op- ponent, and exclaimed " you* have deceived me and I am undone." ( Loud cries of bear, hear, hear) If the spirit of the brave Admiral Pigol was permitted to look down on the present Scene, mindful of the interests of the place on which he had fixed his affections, he would exclaim in reference to the Gentleman whom they had met to honour, " you are my adopted Sou, may " the spirit of Independence which I fostered her<\ rise " to a greater height than I had the happiness to Cl effect." He concluded by proposing " the health of u Sir George P. igot, Bart " which was loudly cheered. Toe next, toast was " W. Y. Davenport, Esq.- 1" their venerable and respeefiM neighbour, who Would have been present if . h?* health had permitted. The Rev. Mr. DAVKNPORT rose iu the name of his relative to return thanks. The Chairman was perfeeth correct in stating that nothing but the infirmities of advanced age had prevented his uncle from being pre sent, ' til* heart was in the cause of independence, and as a proof of it he had not thought it ri^ ht to influence a vote in favour of Mr. Ludlow, for whose success his wivhes. were most ardent. ( Lntjd Cheers). The health of' i(' Mr. Burgess," a Gentleman who had rendered most valuable services during the late contest, was next proposed by Captain Lampet. He ( Captain L.) had received a letter from Mr. Burges's iu reply to an invitation to the id inner, regretting that unavoidable professional engagements prevented his attending, but offering his hearty wishes for the success of the cause. In giving this toast the Chairman humourously de- scribed Mr. Burgess " not as a burgess of Bridgnorth, " but o most respectable Burgess, who only wanted to " be a'" burgess of that borough in order to become a u perfect Burgess." Mr. LUDLOW acknowledged the favour done fo his friend, and begged to propose " a loug pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether.' 1 ( Loud cheering). He re- gretted that the evening had made such rapid advances ihat he must think of wisbiugthem a good night. They would remember that the stage he had to travel ( to Ludlow) was a long one, and Hot the best road in tha world—" I hop? 1, however," said he, " that the road from Ludlow to. Bridgnorth wili fcaon be nearer than it has been." This toast was drank amidst immense applause^ and the Vice- Pre » ident then gave " Mr. Boycott and his Pack." After which the CHAIRMAN rose, observing thaf tbe hour ( eight o'clock) was still early, and he rpgretted to leave the company, but he and a few others had, like their friend Mr. Ludlow, to 1 ravel some miles home. A considerable portion of the company then departed. The chair was afterwards'- taken by Captain Lampet, and subsequently by Captain Stokes, and the healths of" J. C. Pelham, Esq." " Lord Mountnorris, 1' " Sir C- S- Smith, Bart. 11 " H. W. Mosetey, Esq." " H. G. Myt- ton, Esq," with niany others, were successively propos- ed and drunk with niuCh applause. At eleven o'clock the Chairman ( Captain Sfokes) rose and said, that as the night was far advanced and the following day was Sunday, he thought it liis duty as Chairman ( in order to guard against any unpleasant observation which could possibly be advanced in dero- gation of the conduct of the company) to propose that they should now separate for their respective homes* The two; national airs o'f " God save the King" and " h'tile Britannia," were then at his request given by tlie band, after which the remaining part of the com- pany, after giving three cheers for the success of their cause, dispersed,- highly, pleased with the proceedings of the day, and the town immediately became as quiet as Upon any ordinary occasion. We ought not to omit to state, that several sheep were roasted whole iu different parts' of trie town' and dis. tribitted with several barrels of prime ale amongst ihe populace, and that a copious tea- drinking rejoiced the hearts of the fair friends of tbf asserter fhe inde- pendence of the horoogit. Dancing Was also kept, up with much spirit as long as'. the shades of evening al- lowed, and the universal joy which prevailed during the whole of the day fully warrants ns iu saying that fhe future elections in Bridgnorth are not likely, as heretofore, to be all on " one side," but that the spirit of independence has at length begun to dawn on the borough, ami wifl evenfnatly, as the Rev. Chairman emphatically observed, rise to meridian splendour.

Mr. Pattison, Mr. Hulbert, and other Gentlemen, addressed the meeting; and several additional subscriptions were announced. Oa Saturday last, Henry Moss, convicted at our late Assizes of stealing two horses from Waters Upton, underwent the dreadful sentence of the law in front of the County Gaol ill this town.— After taking the Sacrament from the hands of the Chaplain, he ascended the platform with a firm step, and was immediately launched into eternity.— This unhappy man had been convicted of stealing a horse from Whitchurch, at our Lent Assizes in the year 1824,. and judgment of death was then recorded against him; he was afterwards sent to the Hulks, from whence he escaped, and subsequently meeting with a person who had been his accomplice in former crimes, he entered again upon that system of plunder for which his life has been forfeited. Committed to our County Gaol, Thomas Walker, charged with assaulting Sarah Reynolds, at Bas- cliurch, wilh intentto commit a rape; John Madeley, charged with a similar assault on Mary Shone, at the parish of Prees; and William Robinson, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, at the parish of St. Alkmond, Shrewsbury, the property of John Thomas.

ST. JULIAN'S FRIARS, SHRRWSBUST, AUGUST 9TH, 1826. ad requested him to propose the name of a gentleman, nof, it was true, one, of their friends in the late contest, hut he trusted not opposed to them, Certainly he ought not to be, " Mr. Thomas' Whitmore." He had much pleasure in offering tbe toast because it would convince that gentleman that they'had no hostility to him, since he had always asserted on the hustings that hehad never asked for a single vote for Mr. Wolrvohe Whiimore ( expressions of dissent and cries of tk he did.") The Chairman trusted not (" die did, he did.") It was possible that his agents, against his wishes, might, but he fully believed Mr. T. Whitmore to be a sincere friend to their own principles, and there was no wi. sh to interfere with his seat if fie did not interfere with the other. ( Continued expressions of disapprobation). The Rev. Mr. DAVRNPOKT rose. Ho apologized for differing from the Chairman, but, said he, " I told Mr. Thomas Whitmore that by the conduct of himself and his agents he was making enemies of his friends, and I am now his enemy on this question." Mr. LUDLOW immediately interfered in the most gen- tlemanly manner. He said he hesitated to obtrude him- self on so delicate a point, but he hoped the toast would be drunk. Mr... Thomas Whitmore. he believed to be a man of honour, and of . Constitutional qnd: poiitioal prin- ciples which » ' ehdered him worthy of Ihe support, of the electors of this borough. He felt assured that Mr. Thomas Whitmore was not personally bhuueable ; if any wrong had been done 011 his side he had no doubt his indiscreet agents were the persons accountable- ( The good taste and good feeling displayed by Mr. Ludlow under circumstances of such peculiar delicacy made a powerful impression on the company with regard to himself, but they appeared to have no effect in les- sening the disinclination to receive the toast, and) Mr. DAVRKPORT again rose. He would assert that A rumour prevailed in the city this morning of unfavourable news having been received from India, contained in a letter dated Vellore, March 10th. The postscript to this letter states, that our army under Sir Archibald Campbell had been entirely defeated. We need not add, that this statement is utterly unworthy of credit. Madras Papers to the 14th of March have arrived, and letters from that Presidency of the 15th. The latter mention what is much more entitled to belief, that. Sir Archibald Campbell was advancing upon the Burmese capital, ana that it was expected, before he arrived there, terms G; peace would be proposed.— Courier. WAXEFAFMJ'S TRIAL.— This Trial, so much the object of expectation at present, stands appointed for Thursday, the 10th instant. Mr. Wakefield, the Chancery Barrister, and uncle of the defendant, left London'oii Saturday for Lancaster. The Attorney- General sets out this afternoon. The briefs for the prosecution are of an enormous size, occupying more than 200 sheets. Very high fees are. given fo the Counsel on both sides. The Attorney- General is to have 600 guineas, and Sergeant Cross, and his other legal coadjutors, about 100 guineas each; Mr. Scarlett 200 guineas; and Mr. Tinda! and his subs, from 60 to 80 guineas each. There are at least 70 witnesses subpoenaed, pro and con. A few days ago the London agents of Messrs. Pagets and Kirby's bank, at Leicester, entrusted a parcel containing a large sum, to the care of a respectable individual, who deposited the same in his travelling trunk, and set out per coach for Leicester; but when he arrived, the parcel vvas missing from the trunk, and the bankers have since received a letter stating, that £ 600 is the only " negociating price."— What steps are taken towards the recovery we have not yet learned. millBIEIEtr MBIBAlIaUPo SHREWSBURY.

EDWASDS, Cltrk of the Courst. ilMsscdlaneoua XntelU$ etH?. ; Dnring a tremendous storm of thunder and light- ning, on Thursday evening, five men and two boys, who had been previously engaged in carrying barley in a field belonging to' Chandos Lgig'n, Esq. at Stone- leigb, were struck by the lightning. One of tbe men, named John Eyres, about sixty years of age, was killed on the spot, and another man, named John Prime, was deprived of speech, and has since been confined t° his bed. Both of them had just finished their day's work, and were in the act of stooping under a tree to pick up their clothes.' A large branch of tbe tree was torn off, and some bark riven from the trunk ; the fact evidently shewing, that the lightning was attracted by the tree, and exhibiting the danger of persons attempting to find shelter under trees during thunder storms. The other three men and two boys were knocked down, buteseaped unhurt.— About thesame time, as George Lucy, Esq and his lady were returning from Bir- mingham to their seat at Charleoote, they saw the electric fluid, resembling a large and luminous ball of fire, descend upon a tree, which was in an instant shivered to pieces.— The effects of this storm were also felt in Ludlow and tbe neighbourhood, Church Strett'on, & e. VVe have still the satisfaction to Bay, that this town aud the neighbourhood continue to enjoy the most perfect quietude. We understand too that the prospects of the resident work- people are some- what better, and tbat in some branches of business there has been a diffusion of employment in conse- quence of an increased demand for goods. These are valuable indications, and give cause for con- fident feelings from which much good may arise; but we must uot be sanguine in the expectation that a restoration to trade is directly attainable.— Ulanchester Chronicle. The fortifications of Ehurtpore have been de- molished; the principal bastions, and purls of several curtains, were blown up on the 6th of February, and it is left to tbe rains to complete the ruin. The Futty Bdurge, or " bastion of victory, built as the Bburtporeans vaunted, with tbe boues and blood of Englishmen who fell in the assault under Lord Lake, is now laid low, and among- the destroyers were some of those u white men per- mitted to fly from lier eternal walls," who, after a period of twenty years, returned to the assault to yvitness her towers and battlements crumbling to dust. At the Devon Assizes, W. H. Ellis, shopman to Mrs. Susan Newman, grocer, in Fore- street, Exeter, was found guilty of stealing six shillings, and other pieces of silver the property of his mistress. The case appeared to excite the most intense loeul interest, which may be accounted for by a circum stance whispered in the Court, namely, tbat when tbe prisoner was taken into custody in September last, above £ 7000 was found in his trunks and boxes: there were £ 1.000 in gold . and silver, and rolls of bank notes from £ 1000 down. This money wil! shortly become the subject of litigation, as it is claimed by the Corporation of Exeter, the Dean and Chapter, and Mrs. Newman, who, many con- ceive, has the best right to it. On Monday, Courtney, the flying- man, made another exhibition of flying across Bristol river; he descended from Leigh Wood to an anchor sunk in the stream, but owing to some mis- management he struck his head violently as he,- came down, and was conveyed to the Infirmary in a state of insensibility: but we understand it is expected that he will recover. At H ereford Assizes, Ang'os Lamont, who had been only fourteen days out of Monmouth Gaol for passing gilt farthings as sovereigns, was con- victed of stealing a bay gelding at Hereford. The prisoner had hired the horse to go to Shrewsbury, and on his arrival there immediately offered it for sale to the landlord of ( he inn at which he put up, who agreed for the price, but refused to complete the purchase till he tmd'nacc* laiHect, by application at Hereford, that the horse - was the prisoner's property. Finding that be had only hired the horse, the prisoner w- as given in custody.—- Mr. Barron Garrow, in charging the Jury, told them that the law with respect to horse stealing was this:-— If a man borrowed a horse with a bona fide intention of returning it, but afterwards altered his intention, and sold it, it was not horse stealing. If, on the contrary, at the time ho borrowed the horse, he did so with an intention of selling it, and afterwards sold it, then it was felony. His Lordship thought, that under all tbe circumstances, it was clear that the prisoner hired the horse with an intention to sell it; it was, however, for the Jury to decide. On the verdict of Guilty being returned, the prisoner begged for mercy, and said he had been wounded in the head at Trafalgar, and when- ever he took an extra drop he was unconscious of Iiis actions..— Transported for life.

STAFFORD, AUGUST 5.— The death of Mr. Iron- monger, one of tbe members lately elected for this borough, having caused a vacancy in the repre- sentation, a whole posse of candidates have been already spolfen of; amongst them Sir G. Ch twynd, formerly M. P. for Stafford, Mr. Campbell, the'lat* unsuccessful candidate, Richard Spooner, Eaq. Chat. Sheridan, Esq. J. E. Denison, Esq. Colonel Wilsoa Patten,. Sir R. Gresley, and Mr. Waterbonse, coach- proprietor. Two or three of' the number, we be- lieve, have been applied to, but decline; and on » only has intimated iiis intention' to tbe burgesses, viz. Mr. Spoon'er. The principal topic of conversation during ths present week at Newcastle, has been the likeUhood of another election. The reason assumed is, that official changes will require Mr. W'ilmot Horfon, tb* Under Secretary for the Colonial Department, to vacate his seat. How far there. ig any ground for this expectation does not appear . Longevity.— Died, iu the Almshouse, Stoke's Croft, Bristol, in her 107th year, Susanna Tapseot.— At Elders! ie,' in Scotland, Hugh Shaw, aged 113 ye^ s . be formerly served in the 42: 1 regiment, and till within the last 18 months walked 7 miles daily, gaining bis subsistence by begging. DEATH OF Ma. ADAMS AND MR. JEFFERSON.— The New York papers received 011 Monday evening at Liverpool, to tbe Sth ult. by the packet ship Leeds, Capt. Stoddard, announce the death of John Adams, the successor of General Washington as President of the United States, and father of John Quincy Adams, the present President. Mr. Adama was iu the 92d year of his age. Letters by tha same conveyance also announce the death of Thomas Jefferson, the President for eight years after Mr. Adams. It is a most remarkable circumstance, that these distinguished Statesmen died 011 the 4th of July; the anniversary of American independence, and precisely fifty years from the day on which they affixed their signatures to that important declaration. Hop INTELLIGENCE.— Maidstone; August 1.— In the neighbourhood of Hadlow, Peckhain, Mere- worth, & e. we understand that a uiore promising appearance of a large crop was never witnessed ; and in many other plantations the prospect is ex- ceedingly cheering, though there are several grounds in which the prospect is less flattering, but upon th ® whole it will be an abundant year of hops, as well as of corn, for which we cannot be sufficiently thankful. CALAMITOUS FIRE.— On Friday last the servants of Mr, Smith, who occupies a large farm between Beachley and the Black- rock; were desired by their master to destroy a wasp- nest, which existed in tha dunghill.. This they did by taking the dung into a stubbie field, from which wheat had been lately hauled, and setting it on fire; they had scarcely applied the light, before a breeze sprung up, when the fire running along the stubble caught the hedges, aud thence communicated to seven fine mows of wheat and hay; and thus in a few hours were destroyed the whole proceeds of the summer's harvest. Gloucester Journal. At Monmouth Assizes, there were 13 prisoners only in the calendar, who were sentenced as follows: — Death recorded against Richard. Price and Elijah Parsons, for stealing a watch, & c. from the person of T. Watkins, on the king's highway.— Jamsj Wallace, for stealing 2s. 6d. & c. from the person of N. Dixon, at Usk, to be transported for iife; Wm. Powell, for stealing a £ 1 note from the person of VV. Watkins, at Chepstow fair, fourteen years, and William Edwards, for stealing three watches from the shop of T. Thaekwell, seven years' transporta- tion— John Brown, for, stealing a watch from J. Griffiths, and Thomas Hodges, for stealing a piec* of check, were sentenced, the former to twelve, and the latter to six months* imprisonment. William Thomas, Mary Roberts, Rithard Wilds, Jamrt Prestock, aud John Leonard, were acquitted ; and the bill against H. Morgnn was ignored.— At these Assizes, William Morgan, charged with forcibly M, 11 TV'. A AT NRIRJWT, WSL « , after A long trial, acquitted. A circumstance of a very curious nature occurred with respect to Jamrj Wallace, charged in the calendar with picking a pocket. Me was committed to the prison at Usk, 011 the 1,1th nit. A few days ago, a young woman arrived at one ofthe turnpike- gates in the neighbourhood, and, enquiring her way, mentioned the name of a relative, whom she ex. peoted to find there. On her mentioning tbe name ofthe person she was seeking, the gate- keeper ob. served, that a person of that name had got into difficulties, and had beeu transported. The young woman said she was satisfied tbat was her relation. " You nro an Irish girl," said the gate- keeper.— " Yes."—" Another of your countrymen is iu troubl* ill Usk gaol for picking pockets."—" What ie his name?" said the young woman. " Wallace." - " Wallace! Jem Wallace ! lie murdered* iny master in Ireland." Tho young woman went to Usk, was afforded an opportunity from the top of the prison of seeing Wallace with several other prisoners. She immediately picked him out, and has since given* circumstantial account of an attack upon the home of her master, Col. Hill, in the neighbourhood of Cork, and the murder of that gentleman, some years ago, we believe as many as four. A communication has been made to the Irish Government, through Mr. Secretary Peel; and whatever may be the fato of Wallace here, he w ill be detained to wait the re- sult of this investigation respecting the imputed murder. The young woman is about eighteen years of age. She is at present staying in the House of Correction at Usk. At Gloucester Assizes, where the Commission was opened on Thursday, there were 100 prisoners for trial, and 44 causes at Nisi I'rius, 3 only of which were special juries. THE WICKVVAR GANG.— Tn our last week's Journal, we mentioned the formidable gang of de- predators which had been discovered in the lower part of this county, and in this week's list of com- mitments will be found the names of twenty- ona individuals belonging to this band, who have been consigned to our county gaol upon charges of felony. They were conveyed to this city, on Wednesday, in two gigs and two yvaggons, guarded by a numerous escort of farmers aud yeomen. In the accounts which have gone forth to the public upon this affair, much exaggeration has been used, and the aid of fiction and romance has been called in to give amora imposing colour to the features of the case. It is, however, not less strange than true, that this gang has existed for more than seven years; aud though their operations have extended over a very consider- able tract of couutry, and the eye of justice has long viewed some ofthe parties with suspicion, yet with such secrecy and adroitness were their affairs managed, that till now they have evaded the hands of the law. The grand depot ofthe stolen property seems to have been established at the house of an old man of the name of Mills, at Rangeworthy Common, near Wiekwar, where a miscellaneous collection of articles has been discovered. A principal place of deposit was ail oven, the mouth of which was at the back of the kitchen fire place, where a large pot was generally hung to prevent suspicion. This simple contrivance has been magnified, by the lovers of the wonderful, into a subterraneous cave, anil stated to have contained more goods than could by possibility be crammed into it. Much stolen pro- perty was, however, brought to light, from different places of concealment. From information given by some ofthe gang, upwards of thirty persons wers taken into custody, twenty- one of whom, as above stated, have been fully committed, and one remain* for further examination. Two of the persons ap- prehended unfortunately succeeded iu making their escape into the Duke of Beaufort's woods, onSunday se'nnight, and have not yet been retaken. The Rev. Dr. Cooke and the Rev. Mr.' Jones, have been indefatigable iu their exertions to bring these of- fenders to justice, and amply deserve the gratitude of the community for their successful labours, ii> which they were most actively and effectively assisted by many respectable individuals in ths neighbourhood. As may be readily supposed, tha affair has excited great interest in that part of the country, and numbers of people have been induced by curiosity, to visit the spot.— Gloucester Journal.

Before Mr. Justice WARREJV and Mr. Justice JERVIS, and a Special Jury. GOODT1TLE, ON TUB DEMISE OF JOHN MORGAN, affair, st RICHARD MORGAN. Mr. ABBOTT opened the pleadings, and Mr. JERVIS Addressed the Jury, staling that this was an action of Ejectment brought by the Lessor of the Plaintiff, John Morgan, against the Defendant, Richard Morgan, for the recovery of an estate called Brynglas, situate in the parish of Llanfair, in this county, of which the defend- nut was wrongfully in possession; and the question for their decision was, who was the heir at law of John Morgan, the person last seized, who died on the 4th of September, 1821, without issue.— He then stated that William Morgan, the purchaser of Brynglas, married Catherine Erans, and had a son John Morgan, who was the father of John Morgan, the person last seized. William Morgan was the son of David Morgan, who had also a son Morgan Morgan, the eldest, and who bad a son named Jeremiah, father of the lessor of the plaintiff. The learned counsel then stated the evidence which he should adduce on behalf of his client, and concluded by calling ou the jury to give a verdict for the plaintiff, and thereby put him in possession of the property so wrongfully withheld from him. Rev. Evan Lewis, Vicar of Ma'rvfair, examined by Mr. EOXDALE, produced the register of'Llanfairknew John Morgan, the person but seized of Brynglas produced the register of his burial, on 4th Septembei 1821, aged 25; he was a married tnon, and died without issue; produced the register of hi « marriage with Frances Lloyd, 11th June, 1817 ; Frances his wife is dead ; produced a register of her burial, on 29th J! une, 1825.— Also produced a register of t he baptism of John, the sou of John and Mary Morgan, of Brynglas, 2d November. 1795.— Also that of the burial of John Morgan, t he father, 28th Deceit. her, 1814, aged < M). Rev. Mr. Lloyd, Rector of Llauerfyl, produced the register of Llauerfyl, containing the register of the marriage of John Morgan nnd Mary Howells, 9th October, 1793. Mr. VVilliam Tearslev, clerk to plaintiff's attorney, produced a copy of the. register of Carno, of the baptism of John Morgan, son of William and Catherine, 19th July, 1724. Rev. Griffith Howell, Vicar of Llangadfati, produced the register of Llangadfan, containing an entry of the marriage of William Morgan and Catherine Evans dated 13th January, 1721. Rev. Evan Lewis recalled,— Produced a register of the burial of William Morgan, of Brynglas, 6th Dec 1776. Cross examined by the ATTORNEY- GENERAL.— I can hor? a* that John and Frances had no children, but they left none, at least I ii**?'"* shrj& teaed or baptised any I cannot say they had no chiid. Mr. William Yearsdey produced a copy of tlie register ofthe baptism of Morgan Morgan, son of David Morgan and Margaret his wife, from the roll at Bangor, dated 24th August, 1684; and a copy of the register of the baptism of David, eon of M « » rs. vi » Mur^ nn nn. l us, 3728 ( mother's name not mentioned). — Also, regiat'er of the burial of Da. vid, sou of Morgan Morgan, 15th September, 1773; register of the baptism of Jeremiah, son of Morgan Morgan, 10th November, 1730.— Also register of the burial of Thomas, son of Morgan Morgan ond Mary his wife,- 26th June,. 1733.— Also register of ihe burial of Morgan Morgan-, 28th November, 1760.— Also register of the marriage of Jeremiah to Elizabeth Jones.— Also register of the baptism of John, son of Jeremiah and wife, 30th July, 1776.— Also register of the burial of Jeremiah, 4th Nov. 1813, aged 87. Mr. Yearsley cross- examined by the ATTORNEY- GKN'ERAL.— 1 had a paper, purporting to be a copy of a register,—[ After some objections taken by Mr. Jervis, to the notice to produce a certificate, served upon Mr. Corrie, the paper was produced.]— 1 received it either from Mr. Griffithes or Mr. Corrie ; 1 compared it with the register at Bangor, and discovered the entry on the roll to be a forgery. The certificate was then read, and purported to be a certificate signed by Mr, Hughes, Deputy Registrar of Bangor, of the baptism of William Morgan, son of David Morgan and Margaret, his wife, 13th January, 1699.— The forged entry, which was written at the bottom of the roll with mixed ink, was then produced by Mr. Hughes, and read ns follows: u Gwillimus fiiins David Morgan et Catherines uxor, 17th Januani, 1700.'; Lewis Morgan examined.— I live at Newtown; I was horn at Carno; am near 88; 1 lived at Carno till 1 was 29 or 30; 1 was born at Glanhnnog, near Pentre; they were adjoining farms; I recollect Morgan Morgan liviugat Pentre; I knew most of bis family; the eldest 1 knew was Jeremiah; he succeeded his father in ihe farm; I have seen Morgan Morgan's wife: they lived together as man and wife; ! knew William Morgan, iviio lived nt.

Cross- examined by Mr. CORBETT.— William Morgan nnd Morgan Morgan were brothers for any thing I ever beard; the only person he mentioned were the Carno boys; there were other persons of the name of Morgan living at Carno; I do not recollect the father of William being alive; the first person I remember at Berthincws was William ; he had one sister, if not more; I did not know them; I was 8 years old when my father died.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL then- addressed tlie Jury for the defendant, and commented with much severity on the forgery committed by the plaintiff or his party, and entreated the Jury not to believe a single witness which the plaintiff had brought forward,- for, said the learned gentleman, a man who will be guilty of forgery will also lie guilty of suborning his witnesses': ond after going over the evidence of the plaintiff, he staled that he should be able to- prove that William Morgan, the purchaser of Brynglas, was not the son of David Morgan, as stated by the plaintiff, hut the son of John Morgan, formerly of Berthincws, whom be afterwards succeeded ; and that Evan Morgan wa* his ( William's) elder brother, who had a sou named Enoch, who was his eldest, a- nd that: Richard Morgan, of Pantle ( defend- ant's father), was his eldest son ; and, therefore, as the plaintiff was wrong in his common ancestor, his case must of course fail. He theu stated the evidence he should adduce on behalf of his client, ami concluded hy calling on jhe Jury to give a verdict for the de- fendant.

Kenmdj fdleness and love of pleasure seem the leading features of file Italians, a taste greally fostered by the frequent festivals of their church. You are less dis- gusted in Italy by working and open shops on Sunday, than in other parts of Ihe continent; yel this does not apparently proceed front greater reverence for the day bvit from an eagerness lo dedicate as many days as possible to amusement. In the part of Italy with which him acquainted, all the individuals f have con. versed with concur in openly ridiculing the riles, aud even the doctrines^ of their religion. I suspect they incline to go further, and, disgusted wilh theglario. absurdities to which they are accustomed, would con sider all religion, except pure deism, mere priestcraft in this opinion flicy always expect to find congeniality in a Protestant, and when they discover you to be hss liberal than themselves, are nine It surprised; thoug unwilling to offend your^ nolions they will dexterously aud politely recede. The ecclesiastics', white, brown, and black, swarm about Florence: the Franciscans have credit for carry iug on many an intrigue, aud even for being, not sel doin, principally concerned in them ; many of ihem are strikingly fine objects, with elegant figures, sel off to advantage by their picturesque costume, and heads worthy of the study of a Guido. The greater number of monks, nleanwhile, do not, by their appearance, im- press oue in favour of the fraternity ; their swollen, rubicond faces, and unwieldy en- boil point, added to a certain cast of countenance, favour the suspicion thai tliese brethren are far from having renounced tlie good things of this world. 1 have often asked my way, or other such casual informat ion, from the monks, and was always gecrire of an answer couched in the most courteous terms,- and delivered in dolci accenti w ilti the utmost suavity of manner. Tbe most graceful male I conversed with in Italy was a Dominican friar, who brought me a letter from a beautiful Parmesanne of my acquaintance. A Florentine of ancient name and high i- anlt, will confine himself and family to a few miserable rooms in his extensive Palazzo, denying himself the common comforts of life, while lie is the possessor, perhaps, of pictures or sculpture worth 40 or 60,000 scu'di; but he would lather starve than sell them : fire or bougies he cannot afford himself, but a box at cither Pergola or Cocomero is essential; that he must have, and then whatever calamity of nature or fortune may fall upon him, he nmst, as a matter of course, go every evening. They are certainly a very good- natured race; their quarrels generally exhaust themselves in lond and pompons exclamation; blows are very rare amongst them ; 1 have seen a man give another what we call a slap, with the hand open, but a blow with the closed fist, a lu mode Angloise, is a brutality of which ihey have no notion. ' I he siilctfo is, I fancy, a weapon much fallen into disuse, at least in Florence; during eight months' residence, I heard but of three instances of fata! violence, and they occurred in the midst of the unrestrained riot of the carnival. No bauds of Cyprians are allowed in Florence to parade the streets or piazzas, a very great credit to the police of fbe Tuscan capital; the absence of this nuisance is probably the reason why Ihere is no place w here women may walk at all times with » o little risk of insult. The Florentine gentry are a poor- looking race; ( heir want of dignity is very surprising ; the women, gene- rally speaking, are superior ; and, judging from a few amiable examples, seem very capable of becoming good wives and good mothers; one thing is certain ; those wfio are so, are held in particular esteem, their conduct is applauded even by those who walk " iu lhe primrose path of dalliance," aud every one is fond of expatiating on their merits. 1 cannot think the Italian women envious or scandalous. It is true they are not fond of admitting cacli other'i beauties, but I never heard any thing like detraction from one of them. It is very disagreeable to see the men hug and kiss each other in the streets, and play and fondle like kittens ; it is not uncommon to witness such a rencontre between a couple of rude and ragged artizans, all black and grim from Vulcan's forge;, Ihis unbecoming practice does not seem to ascend above the lower classes. There exists a society in Florence illustrative of the amiable disposition of the government; it is called the Misericordia, and includes all ranks, from the grand duke downwards : when these associations are in procession, they wear a most lugubrious and ap. palling appearance; the dress is a black surtout, with a hood or cowl of the same colour, with holes cut for the eyes aud mouth : no oue can be recognised under this frightful disguise. If a casualty happens— if a man is hurt by any common chance, if he has a fit, the first of Ihe Misericordia who perceives the accident rings a little bell, and immediately any of the fraternity who may be within hearing flock to the summons,— it is their business lo lend the sufferer all the aid in their power; they lay him, whether dead or living, on a bier covered wilh a light pall; if poor and destitute, they carry him to Iheir own hospital, where he is watched and attended wilh Ihe utmost skill and tender- ness till his recovery. If lie dies, lie is decently buried at the expense of Ihe institution; if he is in good circumstances, he is carried home to his friends. It happens frequently, that the first nobles in Florence, and some of Ihe poorest individuals, are engaged in carrying the same bier. You seldom walk in Florence without meeting one of these dismal processions. I have met two or three on the same morning. " Besides the ' fatness' of the olive, they reckon in this country ( tbe neighbourhood of Avignon)^ four other harvests: the hay of the artificial grasses,' of which Lucertie is the chief; with this hay they fatten cattle, and make a great deal of manure • indeed, I saw at Avignon a covetousuess of dung much to the credit of their agricultural management j those who sweep the streets bring straw, cut inttf little bits about three inehet long, which the'y throw into the kennels and dirty puddles, to suck up th « fertilizing moisture. Manure must be in great demand, and an article of the first necessity, iua country where, besides extensive gardens, they intercale, after the wheat, reaped usually at the end of June, a crop of haricots or French beans,— a standing dish during the winter at all tables. I remember at how high a price 1 had formerly bought few of those beans forseed, that I might have thi. vegetable young and green as a side dish, or in pickle; yet these haricots sees, or the dried graifl of the French bean, are the cheapest food at Avig- non, cheaper even than bread ; and it was without cause thai I was alarmed at my own extravagance, when 1 saw them spread in such abundance on my table in tlie kitchen. Garence, or madder, is ano- ther rtcolfe, and a source of great wealth. Add to these harvests, their wine; which, by the help of the climate, aud good manipulation, is, in my opinion, the best in the world, except, perhaps, that of Xeres and Madeira. Melons e^ td pasties, or water melons, are her. delicious, and the food of the common people. Bread is excellent, light, while, and nutritious; many degrees whiter than that which I made of my own wheat in England, though not so white, nor so quickly dry and tasteless, as the adulterated bread of London. " I consider the French agriculture, as far r. s I was able to observe it in the south, to be in a flou- ishing condition. They have not the grand culti. vation; fhe subdivision of property, and the nature ofthe products forbid it. They have no ' expensiv ® plans for deluging their dripping pans.' They would reg- ard almost as' thrown away, a rich plot of land given irp to the fattening of sheep and bullocks. In the southern moiety of France, indeed, they have no choice; there are water meadows, when irrigation is possible, but no pastures. Their cattle are fed on mountains and hills and poorest lands during sum- mer, and brought horhe in winter. " The ehd of agriculture is to obtain the greatest value of produce from land at the least expense, aud that for ever; and in this end the French ( the spirit of calculation coming in aid of their soil and cli- mate) succeed in a great degree. The chattels, th « stock, both live and dead, belong to the proprietor j- lie superintends; the land is not worse managed on that account. Indeed, as Pythagoras aud Plato said that States would never be well governed till philo- sophers were kings, or kings were philosophers; so it may be said that land will never be well culti- vated till proprietors are farmers, or farmers are proprietors; their interests are opposite, and not to be reconciled by leases or conditions of obligations j one desires immediate, the other continued profit'; but the interest that a French proprietor has iu hi. share of the produce is not great enough to indued him to diminish his capital, by deteriorating tho land, which the tenant always will do if he can j even the material of the farm, no unimportant pari of its value, is better cared for by the landlord than it is by the tenant.— In short, France ( in the south, ern part of it) is rapidly advancing towards garden culture, the perfection of al! cultivation, since tha more a farm is cultivated like a garden, the morn will the management of it be applauded, and tiie greater will be its produce in proportion to its ex- tent. The spade and hoe are very much used in fields, especially where, as is often the case, theso fields are traversed by rows of mulberry or other trees; and the vines trimmed into the form of bushes, and the garance, and haricots, and lucerne in rows and drills, and the slight fences, occupying the least possible space, and set rather as limits than as guards, give to a rich track as much of appearance as it really hoe of the nutuie of a gar- den. " The silk- worm, though silk is a most valuab| a recoh'e of this country, lias no connexion with agri- culture, except that this worm feeds ou the leaven of the mulberry trees. These leaves are plucked as soon as they have attained their full spread, and before they are at all dried or even hardened by tha sun. While nature is preparing the food of tho silk- worm, art is forcing into existence the worm itself. The eggs are hatched by artificial heat, and from the time the worm can eat till it becomes it coeon, this savoury food is administered. Tha mul- berry is of the white sort, but the fruit is hardly known to the Avignonais; it is, of course, destroyed by plucking off the leaves. These trees look very miserable without leaves under so fine a sky; by the end of summer a second crop of leave, is plucked off, and given to cattle. " It was pleasing to me, as carrying memory back to former ages, to see the threshing Soors of th. Avignonais; they are on the outside of the building that serves for the granary ; the sheaves are laid iu a circle, in the centre of which stands a man who drives two or more horses round over the ear. of corn ; another man stands without the circle, to correct any irregularities in the work. " They built, whilst I was al Avignon, a very good abattoir |( pub! ic slaughter house) near one of tb « gates in the town. 1 saw here the process of skin- ning an ox; air is thrown in under the skin by & pair of bellows, which air is then forced forward by beating the inflated hide with clubs. * ... * " French agriculture has made rapid strides within twenty years; they procure and disperse improved machinery; in the breed of their sheep they pay attention to the quality of the fleeee. They call the English their masters in the science of agricul- ture, but entertain confidence, I hope well founded, of soon equalling those masters."— Four Yean' Hcsidcr. cc in Prance. A phenomenon, sometimes witnessed in winter but very rarely in summer, occurred at Liverpoo on Wednesday. Between twelve and one o'clock of the day, the tide, after making to its proper height, began to ebb as usual, but in a short while its current again changed, and continued to flow until it rose some inches higher than formerly, at which height it remained for nearly a quarter of an hour. The dry summer is said to have been as usual highly favourable to the breed of all kinds of games the young partridge, and pheasants have long been strong upon the wing, and the hares in many places, more plentiful than the farmers wish. Few diseases have more baffled the Faculty than Scrofula and Scurvy in their various forms, and for their cure almost every article in the Materia Medica has been tried without success. The only Medicine of repute at this time is Mr. Lignum's Antiscorbutic Drops, which have certainly been very successful in eradicating these harassing Complaints. Scarce a week occu.- s but we have an opportunity of re- cording a well authenticated cure performed by these Drops. For a recent one, ses our first page.
