CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC, As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE. , Person has the Pretension In say that he is the only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fac. be is perhaps tbe only one tltat has nut the genuine Bear s tIrene ; but if tiie Purchasers will give ihemse ves the Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a little Bergamot ; which, from l « « « " « n « i • analyzed it, J. DBLCROIX can assert to be a Fact. " Such Composition, in Lieu of being beneficial to the Preservation or growth of the Hair, has a decidedly ' Contrary effect; Ojf of Almonds, in particular, being of ; a very desicative Nature, and not of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re. girded as one of the best Articles for promoting th Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Pnbli from falling into Error by using snch Imitations, which are so insulting to the common Understanding, and ' Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bea < Jrea « e, J. DBLCROIX begs to give a brief Desciiption of it : — The Fat of the Animal, when be receives it in Casks from Russia, is rather offensi ve, and of a Yellow Reddish Hue, but when purified, it resembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet jt is of an oily aud rich Nature.

Mr. Ellman, jun, eays the weekly import of Foreign wool is so great that there is not the least hope; of the Sussex farmers' . being- able to dispose Of their Southdown wool this year. The average import of ten years, from 1800 to 1810, he states to have been 4,740,584lbs.; and the import of 1825, 43,700,558lbs. SPECULATION MANIA.— It appears from a table just published of all the schemes ami hubbies pro- jected during the last two years, thut they amounted iu number to two hundred and forty- three; thai the afhount of capital proposed to he subscribed on these schemes was £ 248,000,000, that the amount actually pah? was £ 43,062,60S, and that the balance due oa the whole of these schemes, at the close of 1$ 25, wns £ 199,937,102. Numerous other schemes, to which publicity has not been given, are known to have beeni projected throughout the United Kingdom, und with- out exaggeration it may he inferred, though it may astonish dupe* and Directors, that the public mania, if carried into execution to its meditated extent, would have required, if it could have been procured, a capi. tal of three hundred and fifty millions sterling ! It is thought that in the coarse of the ensuincr month, the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal will he opened for public use, so that vessels may enter at Sharpness Point from the Bristol Channel and pro- ceed np to the wharfs at Gloucester. A spacious basin has been formed at Gloucester, for the accom- modation of ships of burthen drawing sixteen and seventeen feet of water, and also one for the use of a smaller description of vessels navigating the Severn. The company are likewise building a fine stack of warehouses close to the Ship Basin, of similar plan and dimensions to those at Liverpool, for the reception of cargoes. Bow BEI. LB.— A few mornings ago the family of Mr. Aughtie, in Cheapside, were awakened by a tre- mendous Crash, as if the upper part of the house had fallen in. They found that a stone of nearly 100 weight had fallen from the upper cornice of the tower of Bow Church, and broken in the roof. Il had hit some ofthe projecting cornices of the tower, by which its force was broken, and had fallen lengthways, or it ia probable t- hat it would have gone through the two floors below the attic where it stuck, and might have occasioned the loss of lives. Mr. Gwilt, the architect, was sent for by the parish ofneers, to examine and re- port as to the causc of the accideut. This gentleman has, we learn, reported that the stone has moat probably been detached by the vibration of the tower, caused by the ringing; of the bells, and that the effects of this practice are manifested by large cracks in ihe plaster- ing of the belfry walls, which were plastered over in 1822, When in 1816 the spire was found to have lost its perpendicularity, it was conceived that the mischief was caused by She ringing. Mr. Gwilt, however, ascertained that although the splitting of the tower might be attributed to that cause, yet the deviation of the spire to that position was caused by the injudicious use of wrought iron in its construction. The expan- sion of the metal by oxidation, had, he found, actually u spalled" or split sol id blocks of stone, and partially lifted up the obelisk from its perpendicular station. This, with the tremendous shaking the whole h'U. 1 undergone from the incessant ringing ofthe heaviest peal in the'eity, rendered the repair absolutely neces- sary, and little doiibt was entertained that had it been delayed the steeple would, in no great length of time, have fallen. The architect, on the completion of Ihe ' epairs of the spire, expressed his opinion lo the parish flieers that it would not he prudent to ring the bellw. Iu the report he has mode on ibe present occasion, be stulcs il as his firm conviction thai the part of the steeple from which the stone fell, never v. as strong nougli for the original peal of bells previously lo 17( 12. Even if il had been construriM) wilh sound masonry, which he declares most decidedly il never was, ihesubsequenl addition oftwo bells, weighing upwards of a ton, was not calculated to improve il. The effect of a peal of 10 bells upon such a steeple may be con- • eived, from the fact which this gentleman ascertained from actual experiment, that the smallest bell, which weighs eight huudied weight, shakes it frcnn the top to the very foundation. The largest of the ten bells is upwards of two tons and a half iu weight. The only rival peal in the metropolis, ns to the number and quality, is the peal of St. Saviour's. The silence of How hells will he felt by every body in the city, by all professors of campanology, nud by every individual who has heard the wretched tin kettle- sounding pieces of metal given in sunic of the new churches for 5ells. ILLICIT DISTILLERY.-— Information was received nt the Excise- office on Thursday Inst, about two o'clock, of an extensive illicit distillery being- car- ried on at No. 3, Primrose- street, Bisliopsgate- street. Four of the most vigilant officers of that establish- ment— Messrs. Dineley, Gatcr, Gibbs, and Ellerm— were immediately dispatched to ascertain the truth of the statement, They found the premises barri- cadoed in such a manner as to justify forcible entrance, which was made through an adjoining hay- loft, when to their astonishment they discovered a most extensive distillery, conveniently fittted up with every apparatus; but not a single individual was found upon Ihe premises. Two stills were at work when the discovery was made, the largest of which would hold 250 gallons, aud the other 150 gallons. IN the principal room was a vat capable of holding 1,000 gallons, underneath which is a private vault, containing another still of considera- ble magnitude, which had recently been worked, the entrance into which, concealed by a sand- stone, was a round hole, not more than 20 inches in diameter, so as to admit the body of a moderate- sized man. From all appearances not less than 10 or 12 men had been employed. About 250 gallons of raw spirits were found on the premises, and is said to be 50 above proof. The occupier of the Tbe Horses lo be entered at the Grapes, Bicton Heath, on Monday, the 18th of September, between the Hours of Two unci Five iu Ihe Afternoon. It having been tbe Custom of Servants aDd others lo rifle iheir Horses on tbe Knniiing- ground, NOTICE is herebv given, that alt Persons funnd , s.. doing will be prosecuted with tbe utmost Uigour uf ibe Law, under llie General Trespass Act.

None of the parties are yet detected, although it is pretty evident some of thein made their escape froru the back part of the premises at the time the officers made their entrance. The whole of the stills, cop- pers, vats, and other utensils were on Monday removed from the premises to the F. xcise- office, and consisted of 12 town- cart loads. A great deal of ingenuity was displayed by the delinquents in the fitting up of the premises, so as to deceive the Excise- officers, who, without information, could not have had the least suspicion of au illicit trade being curried on therein. Kot less than seven discoveries of the same nature have been made within the last month in the metropolis, through the activity of tha above officers. as: SALOPIAN COUEIE1 LON DON— SATU R1) A Y. The French papers of Wednesday and Ihe Etoilo of Thursday were last night roceind.

The late rains have pro- duced a visible improvement in the condition of the potatoe crop, and a dreadful aggravation ofthe distresses of the peasantry and manufacturing population is thus in tho way of being averted, in Ireland, however, this relief will operate but KS a mitigation of a state of suffering which, not depending upon the contingencies of times or sea- sons, but upon a viciou9 state of society, must proceed steadily to deterioration, unless arrested by some decisive measure. This measure, the Irish themselves think they have discovered, in an adoption of the English poor laws, to which they are no doubt urged at this moment by the extreme misery cf the people, as well as by political motives of doublful propriety. Several meetings have been huld upon the subject; and io all of these the Roman Catholic clergy, aud the popular orators of that communion, have strongly supported the proposed change, with views which the events of the late election sufficiently explain. The letters from Manchester are, as heretofore, very confra- dictory as to the state of manufactures iu Lanca- shire. From the conflicting and equally balanced testimony of these statements it is, perhaps, safe to infer that no perceptible chango has taken place. But this fact, if wo might trust to it, would bo conclusive evidenco that the principle of improvement is at work. Oil- Friday last, Hie Rev. Richard Cerfield, A. M.

" At a general meeting of the subscribers to the projected Birmingham and Liverpool Railway, held at the Royal Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday last, it was resolved to confine tho object of the Com- pany to the establishment of a Railway between that town and Wolverhampton, with such branches to the adjoining towns and works as may hereafter be considered necessary. It was also determined that such members of the original proprietary as may feel disinclined to co- operate iu the present views of the company, should be allowed to retire, receiving back, on delivering up their scrip, one pound per share. — The length of the line between Birmingham and Wolverhampton is, according to the surveys already made, about fourteen miles, and the- estimated expense of completing the rail- way £ 130,000. It is proposed that the capital of the new company shall be £ 150,000, divided into three thousand shares of £ 50 each.

On Tuesday, appearances symptomatic of per manent amelioration were visible. There was an additional demand for Wool, with a tendency to higher prices, and a show of confidence in the future, on the part of the sellers. In a word, things are gradually growing better in all the branches of the staple manufacture of Leeds and the neighbourhood. In Bradford, the gloom which has so long overhung that town and its trade is perceptibly vanishing. Move goods were sold there last Thursday, than on any market- day for months before; the masters have made an advance of 3d. per piece to the stuff- weavers, and the latter expect n further advance of 3d. per piece more, either this or the ensuing week, on the suiuc | description of work,— Leeds Intelligencer. At the Carnarvonshire Great Session the only prisoner for trial was Hubert Griffith, who vras found guilty of burglariously breaking into the house of Mr. Daniel Rice, the Crown and Anchor Inn, Pwllheli, and stealing thereout 27 sovereigns and two guineas in gold, and a quantity of silver coin, and was sentenced to be transported for life. CARDIGAN. — Writ of Inquiry of Damages.— Ilrackenbury, Gent, v, The Hundred of Illar, Cardiganshire.— We stated some time ago, that Mr. Brackeubtiry, in 1819, purchased cf the Com. mhssioners under an Act of Parliament for inclos- ing lands in the lordship of Myvenydd, in the hundred of lllar, certain allotments of waste land. The plaintiff, after having taken possession, built a dwelling house and some cottages on the pre- mises, which appeared to have excited the. hostility of the neighbouring- peasantry to such a degree, that they repeatedly demolished the buildings. In May last, half a dozen of the peasants were ob- served fo assemble on an etnincnce near the plaintiff's residence, and by the blast of a horn collected together about 500 people; three or four of them proceeded as an advanced guard towards the plaintiff's residence, and enquired of the ser- vants for Mr. Bracken bury. Being Informed that he was not at home, the wretches threatened, that if every individual in the house did not immediately quit, the house would be instantly pulled down about their ears, and proceeded to read what they called the Turf Act; after which they proceeded with pickaxcs to the work of destruction. In less than an hour the whole house of the plaintiff was pulled down to the ground. This was a Writ of Inquiry brought by Mr. Brackenbury against five of the inhabitants of the Hundred of lllar, to recover under the Riot Act for a compensation in damages for the loss he sustained. The defendants suffered interlocutory judgment under the provi- sion of a certain recent Act of Parliament, which enabled them to do so. Tho plaintiff laid his damages at £ 500. The inquiry was held at Car- digan on Tuesday last, before Thomas Charles, Esq. Deputy Sheriff; Mr. Russell was employed by the plaintiff, and Mr. Jones for- the: defendants. The plaintiff's witnesses having proved tiie damages sustained on the occasion, the Counsel for the ae- feudanls proposed that the sum of £ 250 should be given as damages to the plaintiff, which being accepted by the plaintiff, the jury brought in their verdict for that amount. Plaintiff's Attorney, Mr. John Hughes, Aberystwith; Defendants' Attornies, Messrs. Jones and Parry, of the same place. The Commission was opened at Cardigan, on the 2! sf inst. On Tuesday their Lordships went into Court before the usual hour, fo hear a Chancery suit, Bou- en. Y. D. Roberts.— This was a bill filed for a specific performance of an agreement made between the plaintiff, of the one part, and the defendant aud one John Roberts, ofthe other part, whereby the plaintiff agreed . to grant, aud John Roberta agreed to fake, a lease, of certain premises iu Pembrokeshire. In this agreement the following clause was inserted :. " And the said David Roberts dofh agree to become a surety for the due perform- ance of the covenants, and the due payment of the rent to be reserved and contained in such lease." On the part of the defendant it was objected, that as no consideration, either paid to, or accruing to defendant, appeared on the face Of the agreement, the agreement as to him was null and void, it being within the purview of the statute of frauds. In support of this objection the two cases of " Wain r. Walters," reported in East's Reports, and " Wakefield « >. Saunders," reported in- 4th vol. of B. Aid. werecifed. The Court, however, was of opinion, that the granting of tha lease by plaintiff to John Roberts was on the face of the agreement a sufficient consideration. Decree— A specific performance of the agreement by defendant with costs, and that It be referred to the Register to settle a proper lease, and an instrument whereby defendant may be bound as furety for the due payment of the rent and the performance of the covenants in auch lease to be contained.^ There was only one prisoner for trial at the above Sessions, viz. David Jones, for a riot at the dwelling house of Augustus Brackenbury, Gent, in the Hundred of illar, under the Riot Act. The circumstances under which this riot was committed are stated above, on the holding of the Inquisition against the Hundred of Illar. John Clark, Mr. Brackenbury's servant, proved the riot, and the demolishing of the house, and that the prisoner was among the rioters,' Another witness was called, of the name of Elizabeth Davies, but wit- nesses being produced on the part of the prisoner to swear that she was unworthy of credit, her evidence was left out. A great number of respect- able persons gave the prisoner a good character for peaceableness. Mr. Jones, on the part of the prisoner, raised an objection to the indictment, on the ground that the Commissioners nnder tha inclosure act did not make and enrol their award within the period required by the Act of Parlia inent, and that it was consequently rendered of no effect. Another objection was urged ou the ground, that the act provided part of the Common to be allotted for turbary to the poor of the parish of Llangrwyddon, where the Common was situated, which had not been complied with by the, Commis sioners. The Court, however, overruled the ob- jections. Mr. Serjeant Hey wood summed up the evidence given by Clark; after which the Jury acquitted the prisoner. A meeting of the Welsh Iron Company took place on Saturday at the London Tavern to examine the accounts and to investigate the concern,; nerd it would appear, from the examination aud investiga- tion, that it has been a most flourishing concern to the well- paid directors and solicitor, whatever it may be to the proprietors at large! Slit E. MOSTYK'S MARRIAGE.— This event has been Celebrated by public dinners at Holy well and l. lanasa. On the 8th inst. Sir Edward aud his Lady passed through Holywell, on their way to Talacre ; several thousands of their friends and tenantry assembled to receive t'nem at Brynford Turnpike Gate, where the horses were taken from their carriage, which was drawn by the populace to the White Horse Inn; a band of music, with flags preceded, followed by the inhabitants, tenants, & e. six abreast. At the boundary of tho Talacre pro- perty, they were met by sixty gentlemen and farmers ou horseback, and a large concourse on foot; the horses were again taken from their car- riage, and they were drawn by the populace to the mansion, a distance of four miles. In tiTe evening, the neighbouring villages and farm- houses, were illuminated, ale flowed in the greatest profusion, and the universal sentiment was, " I. ong life and happiness to the Lord of Talacre aud his beautiful and accomplished bride." NEW WELSH CHURCH at LIVERPOOL.— We are authorised to say that the L, ord Bishop of Chester fnot being able to attend at any other time) has definitely fixed on Friday, the 15th of September next, for laying the first stone of the New Welsh Church of St. David, at the bottom of Browtiiow Hill.

Compliance with a' Request, to take into Consideration the Propriety and Expediency of endeavouring to obtain a more certain Supply of RIVER and SPRiNG VVATFJi, which the Residents in the Town have so long- beeu in Want of:' RESOLVED UNAMMOCSI. T, That it appears to this Meeting- to ht universal] v- admitted, that the obtaining- a sufficient Supply of River Water for the Use of the Inhabitants, by Means ofthe present Whet I, when the River has been either very high, or very low, or in a great Frost, is imprac- ticable. That the I ncrease of Population in the Tow- n,' since the present Waterworks were established, has been so grrent as to render a larg- er und more regular and con- stunt Supply necessary, not only for the Health, Cleanliness, and Comfort of its numerous Inhabitants, but even for the Preservation of their Property ; as should, a Fire happen during- a Drought like the present, the Consequences might be most calamitous and destrnctire. That a Committee be therefore formed, for the Pur- pose of enquiring* into and ascertaining the best Mode of obtaining* aud prov iding- a reg ular Supply of Conduit und River Water to the Town of Shrewsbury. ' 1 hat the Committee be requested to ascertain for what Consideration the Proprietors of the present Water- Works would be willing to part with their Interest therein ; and to report the same, with such other Information as they shall obtain, to a General Meeting- of the.

AT a General Meeting of the Subscribers to th^.- Undertaking for making a RAILWAY from BIRMINGHAM to LIVERPOOL, held at the Rojal Hotel, Birmingham, the 24th of August, 1826, convened by Advertisements inserted in the principal London, Birmingham, Bristol, Wolverhampton, Staf- ford, Pottery, Shrewsbury,; Chester, and Liverpool Newspapers, u For the Ptfrpose of considering the present State and future Vkews of the Company v" WILLIAM HAMPER, Esq. in the Chair: The Proceedings of the Committee since their Appointment were reported, and a Balance Sheet of the Accounts, as audited by Henry.. Hunt and John Vale, E* quiie*, was presented by the Finance Committee, Resolved unanimously, k^ That the Proceedings of the Committee are approved, and the Accounts passed. The following' Resolutions were afterwards moved and passed unaaimously : — That this Meeting are fully satisfied of the Utility and Advantage of a Railway Communication between the Towns of Birmingham and Liverpool, but taking into Consideration the existing pecuniary Embarrass- ments of the Country, and the Difficulties which at present oppose themselves to the obtaining an Act for a Line upon the extensive Scale originally proposed, they deem it prudent to confine their Views to the Establishment of a Railway between the Towns of Birmingham and Wolverhampton j with such Branches as shall be thought, necessary to the neighbouring Tow us ond Works. This Line will not exceed fourteen Miles in Length, can be executed for £ 150* 000, and passing through the Heart of the Staffordshire Mining- District, a District'covered with Population and Manufactures, will open another Channel of Conveyance for the Supply of the Towns of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the intermediate Towns and Places, with Coal,: li'on, Lime, nnd other Staple Articles of Consumption, thus affording a Prospect of the most ample Remunera- tion to the Subscribers. That such Members of the Proprietary as do not feel disposed to co- operate in the present, limited Views of the Company shall be at Liberty to retire, and shali be entitled to receive such Share of the Residue of the Funds in the Hands ofthe Committee as is hereinafter declared to be the Distributive Share of each Sub- scriber to the Uttdertakiiig. That those Subscribers who shall within one Month declare their Wish to continue Subscribers, and eon- form to the Views of this Meeting, and shall sign the Parliamentary Contract and pay such Calls as the Committee of Management shall previously to thut Time lix, shall be considered as continuing Members of the Company ; provided always that no Subscriber shall hold mere than Fifty Shares of £ 50 eaeh. That the Amount of each Siiare shall be as hereto- fore £ 50, and the Management and Direction of the A liairs of the Company shall in future be entrusted to a Chairman and four Deputy Chairmen ( to be nomi- nated by the Committee of Management), and the existing Committee of Management, or such of them as shali retain not leas than Fiv « Shares under the new Arrangements, with Power for them to add to their Number; and such Committee shall possess and exer- cise all the other Powers conferred upon or exercised by any of the Committees heretofore appointed for the Management aud Conduct of the Affairs of the Company. The Finance Committee having reported that the whole ofthe Deposit of £ 1 per Share has been expended, but that of the Call of £ 2 per Jlhare, after Payment of all Demands upon the Com- pany, there remains a Sum sufficient to return to every Subscriber who has paid the £ 2 Call, tiie Sum of £ 1 for every Share held by such Subscriber,— Resolrtd unanimou$ ly% That the Slim of £ l per Share, in full of all Claims upon or in respect ofthe Company, be returned tosnch of the Subscribers who have paid the £ 2 Call KS may- wish to retire, from the. Undertaking, on their deliver- ing up their Scrip Receipts to Mr. Edward A11 port, B^ nnetfu- hill, Birmingham, the Accountant Clerk of the Company, any Time after the 30th Day of Septem- ber next. That those Subscribers who have- paid the £ 2 Call wishiag to retain Shares in the Undertaking, under the Arrangements above stated, be required to signify their Intention to the Solicitor, Mr. George Baiker, Bennett's- hill, Birmingham, on or before the 30th Day of September next, intimating what Number of Shares they wish to retain within the Limitation above, mentioned. That if after the Expiration of One Month the Number of Shares claimed to be retained by the present Subscribers shall exceed the Quantum of C » pj. ta 1 req. ti. ired to carry into Effect the present limited Views of the Company, as explained aboi; e then that the Committee shall have Power to reduce the Number of Shares claimed to be retained by each Subscriber. That if after the Expiration of the said One Month it shall be found that there are any Shares standing upon the present. Bonks of ihe Company, in respect of which the Owners have made 110 Deelarati It is plain, therefore, that the Canal might have transacted the Business of the Public upon cheaper Terms. Competition may and will moderate this long existing Qrievanpe. By the Accomplishment of this Undertaking, the Public will be Benefited by an Additional, Improved,* and mora Economical means of Transit1, whilst the Proprietary from these Causes must, inevitably secure to itself an ample remuneTaUng Profit, b y participating in the lucrative Trade of th. is immense District. The Length of the Line, Viccordiny to Surveys already made, will be about Fourteen Miles, and the estimated. Expense of completing the Hail way is £ U0,000. The Cap'i. tal ofthe Company, it is proposed, shall not exceed £' 150,000, and shall be Divided into 3000 ' Shares of £ 50 each.

PHOSPECTU3 Of the proposed Railway from Birmingham to Wolverhampton above referred to. The Establishment of a Railway between the Towns of BIRMINGHAM and WOLVERHAMPTON, through the great Mining and Manufacturing. District of Stafford- shire, has been a Project long entertained and desired. The Population of this District, including Birming- ham and" Wolverhampton, is perhaps under- rated at 300,< K)£>. The Quantity of Iron Manufactured on and in the immediate Vicinity of the projected Line, may bft estimated at upwards of 100,000 Tons a Year ; the Quantity of Coal raised at upwards of 1,000,000 Tons per Annum. A large Proportion of this Coal and Iron is consumed at Birmingham, aud is carried from the Pits and Works to that Town by the Birmingham Canal. To these great Sources of Tonnage must be added the heavy Manufactures and Merchandize, the Lime and other Materials produced in this District, ' fhe Amount of Tonnage at the Birmingham End of the Canal alone, may be estimated at from 10,000 to 15,000 Tons a Week, and the Gross Revenues of this Canal have reached nearly £ 100,000 per Annum, the greater Part of which has been derived from the Ton- nages at Birmingham and Northward through ( he District above described. The Advantage of a New Line of Transport through such a District, connecting the Towns of Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and the intermediate Towns and Work, s, is too obvious to need much Comment. The Facilities w hich an Additional Live of Transit and a . superior Mode of Conveyance will give to Trade would, it is. conceived, entitle the Uude. rta. king to the Favour ofthe Public ; but if, in Addition to these important benefits,' it is proposed to carry at a Lower Charge than is done bv any other Mode of Conveyance nt pre sent in Use, the Promoters of this Undertaking feel they are proposing a Measure w hich will merit and must receive general Support, more especially from the Town of Birmingham and ot! u# populous Tawns on the Line, to which a Reduction ofthe Rates of Ton. uagie upon low- priced and heavy Goods, such as 0oa!? Iron, Sic. isa matter of the greatest importance. The Birmingham Canal has enjoyed the Monopoly of the heavy Carriage of this District for more than Half a Century. Hence it has happened that the Shares of this Company had atone Time advanced from £ 140, the original Subscription, to £ 3200a s, iK; the Divi dends to £ 100 per" Annum,, MI8£ I! IIINEOU0 FINTTLUgent*. The Lord Chancellor, on the representation of it* necessity by the magistracy and freeholders, has been induced to order, the ejection of a Coroner for that part ofthe county of Worcester in and around Dudley* A writ for the purpose has accordingly been issued, aud Mr. Robinson, solicitor, has announced himself a candidate for lhe a ppointment. ROBRFRY OF THE BIRMINGHAM THF. ATRE.— The receipts of the house on Monday, the Slat inst. the evening on which Mr. Macready" took final leave of his Birmingham friends prior to his de- parture for America, were early on the following morning abstracted, from the treasury of the house. It would appear that the villains, no doubt adepts in their vocation, and possessed of every, necessary information, had concealed themselves within the walls of the house, until the time at which the watchmen upon the premises generally leave ; and then having unobstructed access to the stage they forced open the door of the treasury, and finding : the key of the iron chest, without further difficulty obtained possession of two hundred pounds, princi- pally in silver, with which they escaped unobserved. The liberality of JVlic. Macready on the occasion ought, for the honour of the profession of which he is so distinguished a member, to be universally known. Upon being made acquainted with the serious consequences with which the loss threatened the Manager, Mr.. Macready not merely relinquished all claim upon the amount received, but even con- sented to perform a second night without remunera- tion. He accordingly sustained the character of Yirginius on the'Thursday to an audience nearly as numerous a » on the first night, and. the. Manager was fully reimbursed. It is hardly necessary to say that the warmth with which Mr. Macready' was received on his re- appearance, gave full assurance that his kind and disinterested conduct was duly appreciated.— jMr. Macready left on the following day for Cheltenham and Bristol, whence he proceeds to Liverpool, and embarks for New York on Friday. — Two yoiiag men, strongly suspected of being parties in the robbery, are in custody^ and have been remanded for further examination. Amelia Roberts, servant of ' Mr.' Austin, anr& eou, No. 15, Red- Lion- street, Clcrkenwell, London, ab- sconded, on Thursday, the 10th instant, during the absence ofthe family in the country, in company with an Irishman, called Patrick Riley, a bricklayer^ labourer,* carrying with them plate, jewellery, and other valuables, worth about £ 400, which they had taken from chests of drawers, by breakingolf the back of the drawers with a chisel.. They conveyed the articles to a hackney coach, in which they proceeded as far as Hoonslow, antl from thence they posted to Newport, in Motmn/ uthshire, where they arrived on Saturday night ; ihey then endeavoured to procure a passage in a vessel for Ireland, at the same time they tried lo pawn or sell part of the plate, hut without success. In the mean time, Mr. Austin had easily traced them out from stage to stage, as the woman wore, as a necklace, a pair of bracelets which had diamond clasps, a handsome gold watch of her mistress, and some ornaments in her bonnet; and Mr. Patrick Riley couid not forbeaJ' enjoying his good fortune in drinking'with the post boys al each place they came to on the road. They had pawned in London plate worth about £ 40, which ihey bad nearly '-' expended in the journey from London to Newport. They were apprehended on Monday, and fully committed Jo Monmouth Gaol.

' It may uot be generally known that the cuttings of the Box- free are injurious to animals. Last week some box cuttings were incautiously thrown by the servant into a farm- yard belonging to Mrs. Morton, of Old Sodbury, Gloucestershire, and eaten by some pigs. Nothing that Was adminis- tered to the animals appeared' to arrest the progress of rhe poison; for within two days six fine porkers and a sow died in consequence of eatin^ this vegetable poison. FATAL EFFECTS OF LIGUTNMXG AT SCAR BO- ROUGH.— Sunday night, Scarborough was visited by one of the most tremendous Monus of thunder ami lightning ever remembered there. Tbe rapjd suc- cession of the vivid Hame, immediately after the loud, and tremendous peals of thunder, st. rnek every heart with awe, aud made pale the most Ann uud" lively countenance. At length the H< avens seemed to open,' and in the immensity of flume, which enveloped every individual and every object iu the place, the com- mission of death assumed its terrors, and ihe day of. general dissolution seemed ut baud. It, however, passed over; but, amongst many lens important effects, it was noon learnt that the lightning had struck five individuals to tjie ground; who" were sitting together iu a private room; they were ail dreadfully' affected wilh the sl. roke,- and a respectable ft male, aged 25, was so seriously injured that she died soon after. Unintf. lLiriibi. ft Writing.— In a case latel/ tried at M6umouth, before Mr. Baron Garrow, that I ear nod Judge took occasion to remark on the obscurity of the band writing of the Mayor of Bristol, who, lu; Raid, had signed-', his name in a very fine and clerk- like hand, and with a great number of flourishes, but in a way that was per- fectly unintelligible to those who did not pre- viously know what the name was. This, the learned judge observed, was by no means a singular in- stance; for a very respected friend of his in tba city of London, would sign his name oil the outside of letters in such a way as to defy the skill of every man in Court, even if assisted by the greater sagacity of the other sex, in finding out what his signature could possibly be meant for. Tho post- offiee, indeed, knew that a certain number of straight strokes, up and down, meant W. Curtis; but probably that was not because they could read the signature, but bccause nothing else at all li!; a it, ever came near the place. ——-— o . W. Wakefield.— We announced in our last Journal, that the expected trial ot this individual did riot take place, in consequence of bis having forfeited liis bail.— His non- appearance caused a great sensation. lie was bound iii his . own re- cognizance for £ 2000; and in that of two sureties for £ 2000, viz. Dr. Davies, of Macclesfield, £ 500 j and John Cuthbert, Esq. of Stoitehouse, Isle of Thanet, £ 1500.-— tbe Judge ( Mr. Justice Park) ordered the recognizances ofthe several parties to be estreated. Many conjectures are entertained upon the motives for Mr. Wakefield's conduct, and some ingenuity has been exercised in suppositions of this kind. At present there is no light thrown upon the subject; but it is probable that he has taken his course upon a due consideration of his own situation and that of his relatives. By soma it is presumed that the vvhoie family will leave tho country.— The amount of the estreated recogni- zances of Mr. William Wakefield, and his bail wilt not be levied for immediately. The estreats will in the first place be returned, a3 is usual, into tlia Court of the Duchy Chamber of Lancaster, held at Westminster, which has a power, if it think, proper upon cause shewn, to discharge parties from their forfeited recognizances.— It may appear strange to some of our readers that William Wake. Bold, if he had been forthcoming, must have been tried at these assizes, and had no means to delay the matter, though merely an accessary, yet that his brother, the principal in the case, could not bo compelled fo try. This is iu consequence of tlirt Act of 59 Geo. 111. and 1 Geo. IV. entitled, " An Act to prevent delay, in the administration of justice in cases of misdemeanor," being one of what ai- e Usually called " the Six Acts," passed iu 1S1S » , and though generally considered with t!, e others as passed merely for temporary political purposes, it is in fact most important as to Ihe general administration of justice. I'rior to that Act no person against whom an indictment had been fouud for a misdemeanor was compellable to be tried at the same assizes or sessions at which tbe indictment was found, although he might havo been bailed a long t'ime before to answer to it; but by the third clause of this Act it is provided, " that where any person shall be prosecuted for any misdemeanor by indictment, having been com- mitted to custody or held to bail to appear to answer for such offence twenty days before tho assizes or sessions at which such indictment shall be found, he shall plead to the same, and the trial ball proceed thereupon, at the same assizes or sessions." William Wakefleld having been bailed above twenty days before the assizes, to answer to an indictment for a misdemeanor, was therefora within this Act; but his brother, as he was com- mitted to the assizes for a felony, was not then liable to be tried for the misdemeanor. At Lancaster Assizes, ou tha 21st inst. 42 pri- soners, who had been convicted of rioting and power- loom breaking in different parts of that county, were placed at the bar, und Mr. Justice Park directed that judgment of death should bs recorded against all of them: his Lordship said, though their lives might he spared, some of them must expect to be sent out of the country. Four others, for a like offence, were sentenced to tWelva months' hard labour in the House of Correction at Preston. _ EXECUTION.—' William Mills and Thomas Gar- diner, the leaders of the Wiekwar gang, suffered the sentence of the law on Saturday last, at Glou- cester. Since tbe announcement of their awful doom, they behaved appropriate to their situation ; and the unwearied efforts of the Rev. Chaplain seemed to have a happy effect in tranquillizing their tnitids. On the morning of execution, both convicts attended divine service in the chapel of the prison, where they received the holy sacrament. Oa the scaffold they both Acknowledged their guilt, and after coutinuiue some time in prayer, the drop fell and launched them into eternity. Mills struggled very much for a considerable time, but Gardiner soon died. The two wretched brothers, Alexander and Michael M'Keaud, were executed at seven o'clock ou Monday morning, at Laucaster Castle. Alexander acknowledged bis guilt, und expressed bis sorrow that Michael would not do the same, but eiery effort to induce the latter to confess his participation in the murder was in vain ; the unhappy wretch, in the. face of the clearest evidence, denied that lis made the murderous attack oil Mrs. Blears, though the l itter, both before and after the trial, expressed herself perfectly confident as to his identity. Michael walked to the scaffold with a hesitating step, and appeared dreadfully dismayed ; Alexander was more collected, and his lips appeared as if moving in silent prayer. No bell tolled, nor was there any other funeral rite to mark the approach of these murderers'death. All was conducted with imposing silence, and not a murmur of pity appeared to escape from tlie crowd. Every thing being arranged, the caps were drawn over their eyes. Tha chaplain read a part of tbe burial service, the drop fell, aud the xyre'ehed men were launched into eternity. After their bodies had hung tha usual time, they were cut down and delivered over to the surgeons for dissection. HORHIEI, K MURDEP. AT BaicaToy. — Oae of the most savage murders that has been recorded for years, was perpetrated at Brighton on Tuesday last, by a man named William Burt, who killed hi's child, only three months old, aud attempted to assassinate his wife. A Coroner's Inquest has been held upon the body of the infant, and a. verdict of Wilful Murder was recorded. SALOPIAN JOUKMAL^ AM © CWJEITT OF WALES I'VK THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. Saps cf t!? e © asl.

On Thursday hist, n meeting of the inhabitants of tliis town was held in Ihe Guildhall, pursuant to advertisement, " for llie purpose of taking into cot), •. idcration the propriety and expediency of endeavour- ing to obtain a more certain supply of River and Spring Water, which the residents in ihe town have to long been in want of."—' i'he Mayor having taken the chair, the requisition for, and appointment of, the meeting, wns read by the Town Clerk, Thomas Loxdttlc, Esq. Archdenj- tm BUTLER said he ought to apologise for addressing ihe meeting, because bis name was not attached to the requisition, lie was not aware at tbe lime that a requisition was in circulation, ami for thai reason he had, on Thursday Inst, prepared a teller for publication, wiih a view of obtaining a meeting of the inhabitants on this subject: that, however, he was happy lo find, was unnecessary, and he was extremely glad to see that the requisition w so numerously aud so respectably signed, lie was sure every one would concur in the propriety nnd necessity of remedying an evil now so greatly fell the scarcity of water. Since he linil taken up his residence iu the town, its population had become vastly increased, aud was now, probably, treble in amount lo what it was when the present water- works were established. He did not mean to attach the slightest blame to the proprietors of the present works, but it would be universally acknowledged lhat those works nre lotiilly inadequate lo their professed object, antl ( hat their situation, is most inconvenient, objectionable, and filthy. From the very situation and nature of these works it wns totally impossible for the inhabitants to lie supplied regularly with water, impeded as they were al various times bv floods, frosts, aud droughts. There was also a neces. sity for a better nnd mure itthquatc supply of Spring Water, so desirable for the purpose, of being drank and for other uses in families. His own family con- sisted of ISO persons, and for the Inst three months lie had received no water from the works, but hail been obliged to buy it from other sources ; and it certainly might he considered extremely hard lhat lie should be callcd upon to fulfil his part of ( he contract by paying for ihe whole year's water, when the parties who claimed thai payment neither had fulfilled nor could fulfil their part, which was to furnish him with the supply that they had contracted to serve li'mi with, lie could not apply Pindar's celebrated lino- A^ IOTO? to the water of Shrewsbury, for nt present the water supplied lo the town wits nol only not the best, but was tbe very worst, hi making these observations he did not wish lo say any lliing in disparagement of the proprietors or renters of the water- works-, liicy ought to lie treated with all consideration. Th proprietors were ihe heads of families long connected with the town, antl they would, there was no doubt, be happy to co operate in any measure which should lie for its advantage. It was hardly necessary for him to oilveit to the danger which arose lo ihe town from a scanty supply of water, in case of lire : there had now been a drought for more than three months, and if a fire were lo break out no water could he obtained for the engines, as there was little or none it might he presumed, iu the reservoir.— Or. Butler llicn proposed n scricB of resolutions to ihe meeting SAMUEL HARI. EY, Esq. seconded the resolutions, antl observed lhat he had reason lo believe Ihe F piietors and Lessees of the present Wutcr. Wtuk were willing lo acquiesre in any arrangement tlwit might be deemed beneficial to the town, so that it did not materially injure their own interests. Mr. SCAHTH said, Mrs. Corbet, of Sundorne, being absent from home, she, as one of Ihe proprietors, had not been consulted ; but he bad no doubt thai lady would be happy to concur in any equitable arrange, ment. Mr. How, on behalf of the other proprietors, Mrs. Tonys, of Berwick, outl Henry l. yster, Esq. of Row- ton Castle, said they were willing to acquiesce in Ihe proposed arrangements, so that their interests were riot materially affected. 11. A. SLANEY, Esq. M. P. begged leave to ask whether any valuation of the present works hail been made, so as to form an approximation to that material point for consideration. Archdeacon BUTLER said, lie apprehended there had not ; that would form a subject for consideration in Ihe Committee ; tho present was merely an inchoate proceeding. J C. PlsLHAM, Esq. M P. said, insulated as his residence wns, and therefore exempt from the danger of fire from without, antl possessing, as it did, a supply of waler within itself, his situation was not one . that gave him a personal interest iu the present subject. He was, however, anxious that the inhabit- ants of the town should he supplied, as they ball a right to expect, with wholesome water, at a cheap fint) easy rate. He was happy to sec so numerous nnd so respectable a meeting, and he. would suggest that Ihe resolutions should be worded in Ihe most genci- nl foim, so that IheComniitlce, when assembled, might be enabled to avail Ihcmselvts of any desiiablc mode of attaining the ptoposed object. Front his long experience of, and connection with, the inhabit- ants cf ( he town, he was sure lliat a Committee could be chosen from tbe present assembly which would relieve the town from the difficulty complained of, aud which would attain every advanlage nnd benefit that was in contemplalion : ( he Committee to report their proceedings lo a subsequent general meeting. Archdeacon BUTLER said he shottJd he most happy to avail himself of any suggestion that fell from Mr. Pelhain— a gentleman who had always evinced so much anxiety for ihe good of the town, and so liberal n spirit iu promoting its welfare; the resolutions he Imti framtd were merely preparatory, and were open to tiny alteration that might be deemed expedient. It. A. SLANEY, Esq. after what had fallen from Mr. Pclhani, thought il would he best to form a Committee who might avail themselves of the talent and information of scientific men, before they adopted anysptcific plan : that course had been adopted by the companies of this nature which had hitlurto been the mosl succcssful; and if he could rentier any assistance lie should be most happy to tlo so. L) r, Butler, with whose classic acquirements he coultl not dare to compete, quoting a Greek author, had said, ••• Water is the best thing." He ( Mr. S.) believed that Shropshire men would say, Water is nCi'tiie best thing. [ Archdeacon BUTLER said, a gentleman, in refer- ence to tbe proposed undertaking, had observed, he would rather enter into a Wine Company than into a Water Company.] Mr. SLANEY continued.*—^ The I- azzaroni of Naples had ou one occasion threatened to pull down their Government, if ice was not served out regularly to them. He was sure, however, the inhabitants of Shrewsbury were too loyal lo hold out such a threat, if they had not a regular supply of water; ot the same time he would suggest that the price of shares should be as low as possible, in order lo give a more general interest to the concern. Mr. HAZLEDIKK said, as renter of the present works, he tliil not object to any better mode of obtaining a supply of water, for lie would admit that the town was badly supplied. He must, however, observe, that the proprietors and the renter of the present works hail been very inadequately repaid for the expenses which they had incurred in erecting those works and in laying down pipes lo supply the town. If those who were supplied from the works would calculate the sum they paid, as compared with the other modes of obtaining river water, they would find Ihey did not pay as for n regular supply, and therefore he had no hesitation in saying the lent would ccrtainly lie called for as it became due : for every lady or gentleman who was supplied from the works, knew the casual circumstances to which they were subject, ond at each rent. duy had the option of continuing to take Ibe waler or not; but us Ion Ihey left their pipes open to those of the water- works the rent would he collected. Archdeacon BUTLER remarked, that he Had not the slightest intention, in what he had saitl, to attach any blame to Hie renter or proprietors of the water works : in referring to the wants of his family as regarded the article of water, during the long drought which had been experienced, he merely meant to show how great a necessity existed for some more adequate means of supply. Mr. SLANEY said he remembered being present1 at the first meeting for the purpose of lighting the town with Gas: there was some objection to this new light : apprehensions of its setting the town on fire were expressed; and the old ladits were afraid of being burnt out. The shares were, however, taken; ami tbe apprehensions had vanished. He had no doubt the same zeal and spirit would give effect to the Company now proposed, the objects and prosper- ity of which he should be most happy to promote. The Members of Ihe Committee were then named ; thanks were voted to the Mayor ; and the meeting broke trp. [ Mr. PELTIAM announced his intention of bringing Ihe subject of Ihe Conduit Waler before the Body Corporate ou Friday : he bad no doubt an ample sup. ply might lie obtained, RS there was a continual flow from the springs running to waste through the adjacent lands, the proprietors of which, he hoped, would not he like the dog in the manger, neither use the article themselves nor let others have the advantage of it.] On the 29th July, in Pitt- street, Kent- road, Mrs. Sarah Dedicot died in the 105lh year of her age. She was a native of Paucras, in Staffordshire, and well remembered the British troops, under the Duke of Cumberland, marching into the town, and halting in Stoney- fields, on their route against the Pretender; and used to tell many a pleasant tale of hevbclf and other young lasses, who carried beer out in pails to give the soldiers. It was from her father's tan- yard that Lord Anson, after his return from his voyage round the world, had tan to endeavour to raise pine apples in this country. She possessed a most extraordinary spirit of loyalty, being always highly indignant at any disrespect paid to any branch of the Royal Family. She never knew the taste of medicine, and only kept her bed a week before her decease. She lived in four King's reigns— namely, George I. to IV. Her venerable remains were in- terred, on Sunday last, in the burial ground, New Bunhill- fieids, New Dover- road. The chief mourn- ers were two of her daughters, one aged seventy- six, and the other sixty- five. Her maiden name was Fieldhouse, and she always avowed that her family came over with William the Conqueror. itlisccUaneotis JntflUgcr. cr. EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.-^ A report lins just been published by the Committee of the General Assembly on increasing the means of education and religions instruction in Scotland, From inquiries made, it wns ascertained that iu ten c. f the Synods of Scotland, comprising 7- 64 parishes-, and 1,716,126 persons, the means of education were so extensive, . that llierc wns seurcely an individual who bail not been taught to read. In the remaining six Synods, viz. Argyle, Glenelg, Ross, Sutherland, Caithness, Orkney, and Zetland, containing 143 parishes, aud 377,730 inhabitants, there was found to- be a want of • 250 schools, which it is computed would educate 10,500 children. There are also wanted' 1' 30 Cole- chists in these Synods for the religious instruction of ihe people, and Ihe ten lowland Synods rsquiie six Calecliisls. The Committee, being authorised by the Assrmhly, proceeded to appoint schoolmasters in few situations where they were most wanted, or where the necessary accommodations were provided or pro- mised by the heritors, These accommodations are- 1st, a school- house; 2d, a dwelling- house; 3tl, asmall garden; 4th, fuel furnished gratis; and 5th, ground to keep a cow. Where these are provided, the teacher is to be allowed £ 20, or £ 25 a year, with liberty to tlraw school fees equal to those of the parish school. In November last, the first school was opened at Ullapool, in the parish of Lock Broom, which is 30 miles long and 38 broad, nnd has 4747 inhabitants, of whom only 9P3 had been taught to read. The British Fishery Sccit ty provided ti School- house. The school has been attended hy about 150 scholars. A second school was established at Lochnaig, in Argyllshire, and has about 80 scholars. At Tobermory, a school- hoime is prepared, antl the Committee arc endeavour- ing to find a teacher for this impot taut station, where they expect a hundred scholars. Eight other stations are named in remote Highland districts, where accom- modations are promised, and where the Committee have engaged to provide' schoolmasters. ' Fhe Com- mittee have prepared four Gaelic school books, and have printed 5000 of each, the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge having engaged to purchase 2000 of each at prime cost. A set of English school books have also been provided, ns the English lan- guage will be taught more or less in all the schools. The books are not to be given away, but sold. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.— Chief Justice Best, In the delivery of his judgment in the Court of Common Pleas last week, on an argument then before the Court, laid down the law on this subject to the effect that follows:— No point ( said his Lord- ship) had created a greater diversity of opinion, . or had ever produced more variable decisions in West- minster Hall, than the fruitful one now under discussion. The Statute of Limitations and the Statute of Frauds were, in his Lordship's own estim- ation, two of the most important Statutes of any that were novv remaining in the Statute- book. Of the former Act the most erroneous views had been taken, which had led in numerous cases to the most false conclusions on the part of many of his prede eessors. By some it had been contended that this Act was pastted for the purpose of affording aid to defendants, who after so long a period might be exposed to difficulty as to their evidence. This; however, Ihe Learned Judge did not conceive to be the origin of the Act. He contemplated it, on the contrary, in a different sense altogether. It was the intention of its framers, in his opinion, that all claims should be extinguished by it at the expiry of six years. For the satisfaction of those whom he was addressing, he would refer to the Act itself, which ho thought would bear him out on the Judg. ment be was pronouncing. It was intitled " An Act for the limitation of actions, and for avoiding suits in law." This, said his Lordship, I hold to be conclusive. But we will go further! What says its preamble? " For quieting of men's estates, and avoiding of suits, be it enacted, & c." Hence it is distinctly clear, that the Legislature meant it should operate as a bar to the commencement of any suit, after the proscribed time. And should any doubt still exist upon the subject, he would refer to the second preamble, which he conceived would set the matter at rest. " And be it further enacted, that all actions, & e. shall be commenced and sned within the time and limitation hereafter expressed, and not after" Now if this meant any thing, it distinctly meant, thut no suit or action was to be instituted, after the, respective periods therein limited, and which this Statute was passed to prevent. It wns intended as a Statute of PEACE, and ought not there- fore to be violated or infringed! His Lordship felt for it respect, and should ever hold it sacred. Par- liament, he was firmly persuaded, had never con- templated its fracture. The legislative and the legal views which had been taken of It. were completely and diametrically at variance. It had been differently construed by many of his Learned Brothers; but from the conviction of his own mind, founded upon tlie authorities he was prepared to cite, lie felt bound to dissent from contrary deci- sions. Acknowledgments of the parties had been deemed sufficient to renew the right of action. But he questioned both the law and the policy of such doctrine. The admission of a demand did not amount to the promise of a payment; and even though it might, he should look to the ability of a defendant so to do. Me should expect an averment in the declaration, not alone of the acknowledgment and the promise, but also of the condition to pay, and in every case should call for evidence of such foots. Even after that he should invariably watch with a jealous eye such actions, and direct a Jury to return a verdict accordingly. His Lordship con- cluded by saying, he considered " a departure ofthe Bench from the strict letter of the Statute of Limit atiousto be cruel aud unchristianly." IMPORTANT to iNsoLVENTS.-^ Wednesday, in the matter of William Sweetman, an insolvent, who was discharged in 1820, Mr. Heath supported a Rule Nisi, obtained on a former day, which called peremptorily on the insolvent to shew cause why his discharge should not be revoked, ha being of ability now to pay all the debts mentioned in his schedule. The Rule was obtained upon the affidavit of Mr. G. M. Bird, of the firm of Browning and Bird, of Waterloo Wharf, whoare creditors fo the insolvent's estate. It appeared, that in May, 1820, the in- solvent petitioned this Court for his discharge, which he accordingly received; but' as his schedule was blank as to property, no assignee was appoint- ed. A short time before the insolvent then went to prison, he conveyed over to William Goddard, a freehold and leasehold property of considerable value, and, aftef the discharge issued, the said property was re- conveyed to the insolvent, and it was sworn that the said property is far more than adequate to pay the insolvent's debts. The learned Counsel hoped that the Court woultl exercise its power, under the 14th section of the 53d Geo. III. cap. 102, and compel the insolvent to pay his cre- ditors ; and that permission might be given for the assignee to sell the estate, without hindrance or stipulation.— Mr. Cooke, forthe ihsolvent, said, that since his discharge he had spent several hundred pounds in improving the premises; it would be hard, therefore, to deprive him of the benefit; and he begged to say that his client was willing to pay £ 60 a- year.— The Chief Commissioner said, that a man who had been guilty of fraud and perjury was entitled to but little indulgence. He then took a review of the case, which he considered of great importance, both to insolvents and to their credit- ors ; he hoped that by the publicity given to it, the former would learn, that however they might unite fraud with perjury, tbe day would arrive when their iniquity would be discovered, and they would be held up to deserved execration. On the other hand, creditors would discover that, by being on the alert, they might often get considerable di- vidends, which were frequently never obtained, through their inactivity. Fraud, itself considered, was a great offence, but when it was covered by perjury ( ns in this ease), the crime wns aggravated in a ten- fold degree.— Under all the circumstances, the Court would make the Rule absolute, to its full- est extent, and he hereby ordered it accordingly. DEBTOR AJID CREDITOR IN FRANCE, & C.— In England, a poor rascal, to obtain his liberty, must give up his all. In France, he need give up nothing; five years' imprisonment pays all debts, and the creditor must besides allow him, during the whole time, sixteen shillings per month, or he escapes the fangs ofthe law for ever. But lest my countrymen should run headlong into this g- olden sea, 1 must tell theia tkat in France there are two weights and two measures; one for the native, and the other for a foreigner. The native cannot be arrested for any debt unless he be in business, or having signed bills of eichange, promissory notes do not subject the party to arrest j but for the foreigner there is no privilege save that of sleeping in prison if he can- not pay : he can be arrested without any form of process, save the declaration that he is a foreigner, and to gaol he must go, without bail or mainprize, and there he must rest until he has paid the utter- most farthing. Ignorant fools boast ofthe superior- ity of French over English liberty, and the comforts of the poor classes compared with the English. It is a glorious country, forsooth, because there is no poor's rates; but they do not know that thousands dio yearly of inanition, though three pence per day would support them. There are no settlements here; no man has a parish to fly to; and such ia the state of indigence of many of the lower classes, that they send their children to the Foundling Hospital as bastards, to avoid the expense of rearing them. It is a well- known fact, that more than one third of the children born in Paris are sent there as children of parents unknown. 1 wonder whether Drs. Gall and Spurzhcim have been able to discover the organ of philoprogenitiveness in a French head? That bump must surely be missing in al! who send their children to the Foundling Flospital,— or phrenology is not worth a farthing. Novv that 1 am on the subject of phrenology, 1 think that aforesaid organ ( it is so hard a word that I do not like to write it twice) must be wanting in the French generally. Nothing is more common than to hear a lady say, " 1 have had two children— I will have no more;" and, strange to say, the prediction is accomplished. It is extremely rare to see a French family with half dozen children. There are two reasons, 1 am told, for this; first, the expense of bringing them up; and, what is considered as vastly more import- ant, their being a drawback on the pleasures of the mother. Tbe delights of the opera and the ball must not be sacrificed to a parcel of brats: besides they would make her look so old; and who could support the ridicule of being pointed out as having half a dozen children, wheu it is the fashion uot to exceed two?— Paul Pry in frame. CURIOUS DETECTION OF ATHIEF.- At the Somer- set Assizes, on Wednesday, James Gibson, a young man in the dress of a labouring farmer, was indicted for stealing an iron chest, two canisters, and other articles. The offence itself had nothing- extraor- dinary in its circumstances, but the after conse- quences were of a very serious nature to the prisoner, and probably to his companions if he had any. The prosecutor, who was a merchant, was awoke on the night of the robbery by an explosion, which shook his house. It turned out on examina- tion, that some thieves had broken open his counting, house, and taken away his iron chest, with two canisters, which in fact contained several pounds of gunpowder; the thieves, no doubt, supposed they contained something more valuable; for having gotten just out of the house, they, no doubt, pro- ceeded to examine the contents of the canisters, and being off their guard, they must have incautiously applied alight. Whatever the cause might be, the effects were obvious; the gunpowder exploded, and the chest was blown to pieces, to as to have lost all form. Its contents, chiefly deeds aud papers, were scattered about, partially burnt; spots of blood were perceivable on some portions of the chest; and a button, apparently from a man's jacket, was found on one of the pieces. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner; and a constable went to his lodgings. He was found in bed, bis face dreadfully scorched, his eyelids destroyed, and a shocking lacerated wound on one of his legs. For the scorching on his face he did not profess to account; but the wound on his leg he ascribed to his having fallen from a wall which he had attempted to climb, and in the fall he said a stone had come upon his leg. A surgeon examined the leg, and said that no stone, under such circumstances, could produce a wound of such severity. The prisoner having thus men- tioned so inadequate a cause, increased the suspicion against him. His clothes were therefore examined. His trowsers and stockings bore marks of blood; his jacket had buttons similar to that which was found upon a particle of the iron chest; and one button was wanting on the jacket. The prisoner did not now offer to account for any of these appear- ances ; but rested his defence on the admitted facts, that no part of the property was found upon him, and that he had not recently been seen near the premises in question. The Learned Judge left the circumstances to the Jury, observing on their strength, that they all contributed to fix the guilt upon the prisoner, but giving him all the benefit of the observation, that they did not amount topositiv proof. The Jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to 14 years' transportation.— Exeter Gazette. On Wednesday afternoon, at about half- past four o'clock, a novel mode of conveyance passed through Reading from Bristol, on its road to Loudon. It consisted of a light four- wheel carriage, iu which were three persons, drawn by two kites. The gentleman, belonging to it was stated to be Mr. Pocock, a teacher of mathematics in Bristol, who has had it in use some time. The large kile, he said, was twenty feet high, covered with cambric muslin, with tissue paper pasted over it, and painted ; its height from the ground was about 170 feet; the top Gr pilot kite was about the same distance from the first. The lowest kite was painted to represent a balloon. They were attached to the carriage by a moderate sized cord, each kite having a separate one, the cord of the pilot passing through the first, to enable the traveller, by pulling the string of the pilot, to raise the first sufficiently to clear trees or other obstructions by the side of the road. Under the carriage was a drum and apparatus to wind the cord on, oi- to let it out at pleasure, as necessary. The carriage was guided iu the same manner as a Bath chair. Two gentlemen of Reading followed it from the World's End Inn, in a one- horse chaise- cart ; and, to keep up with it, they were forced to gallop. Mr. Pocock said, in coming from Marl- borough, lie many times went at the rate of 18 cr 20 miles an hour. Between the World's End and the turnpike, tile Duke of Gloucester caine up with it in his travelling carriage and four, and it kept up with his Royal Highness for some distance, though the horses galloped. In consequence ofa tree near the road, the kiteflyers were in danger of being under the horses, but in an instant they turned the carriage from the danger, so that no accident hap- pened. St. Giles's Church, Reading, proved a great obstacle, as, owing to the crowd that surrounded the carriage, there was a want of room ; it was within a few feet* of clearing it, and to save time Mr. P. disengaged the cord from the carriage, and about six men took it round the steeple, and attached it again to the carriage, in Crown- lane; the men were nearly taken off their legs, the kites were so powerful. The carriage soon set off again from Crown- lane, followed by all the horses and convey- ances which could be got in use at so short a notice, but it kept them going at such a pace that not one carriage kept up with it beyond the Row Barge, and the horses mostly Jeft it at Granby. It took ( hem fifteen minutes to go from the Crown to Twy- ford, a distance of five miles.— Buck.? Gazette, PLANTIN G ' FREES.— The best month for planting ttecs is November; observing the old saying ofa celebrated gardener, " Take them with their old lea. es to their new graves." Just as llie sap begins to go down, aud I he leaves lo turn, lltcre can be nt) heller time for planting all sflits of fruit and ot her deciduous trees; but with respect to ornamental shrubs, and more particularly evergreens,- eatly plant- ing is of the greatest consequence. When the w eathei* is open, fruit trees antl forest trees may be planted from lite beginning of October to tbe end of February ; but tlioBe lhat are planted before Christmao will tlo the besl, » specially if ( he following summer should be very hot and dry. But evergreens mttsl be planted eat ly, so that October is a better month for then? than November, that the soil may get settled about the roots before the frosls come, and that the trees may have al Ifeafet sonle hold of the ground before they have . to encounter the beat of the sun and the eohl east winds of March, Ihe most trying month ihey have to stand against. It is folly to ask n gardener whether it is a good time to plaht, if he is1 standing in the market with' frees to sell. Persons who have done so, and, at their recommendation, planted evergreens in February and March, fotind that they almost al! died ; while to the gardener", who was paid for his trees, it' was tit) loss al all, but, oil the eoiitraryy be Jimf to supply others at MIchM- lmatr. "' In the borders of my pleasure- garden," says' a* practical gardener, " Hiave no shrubs but evergreens-, and ihe more Tview them- in the winter, tiie more I rejbiee that 1 had planted no others. Always gl- een arid cheerfhl in the gliiomy months of winter, they give a beauty to liiv garden which it otherwise would not possess. The Portugal ami Ihe common laurel, the broad- leaved phlllaiea', the red cedar, and evergreen oak—'. hese, as Ihey grow lo some considerable height, may ( with here ami there a yew) be planted in the back ground, and form a rich variety; while these— the Grecian and Siberian arbor vita;, the juniper, the arbuhis, Ihe cypress, the silver holly, the laurustina, See. should be planted in the fore- ground— especially the laurustina, which is hand- some in its growth, 39 well as beautiful in i( s flower. As it is rather a tender shrub, it is better to buy them in pofs, and then ti- ru them out carefully, arid plant them in a sheltered aud warm situation, with the soil adhering to the roots. But no evergreens should be planted thickly, and few persons have resolution enough to remove a tree before it litis materially injured, and perhaps spoiled the grow th of its neigh- bour. Where the soil is good and. the situation open, evergreens, planted in October, will make some very vigorous shoots the second spring, and will fill up the ground ihey are intended to occupy with astonishing rapidity. In situations where il may be desirable to plant a few firs, I would by all means recommend the Scotch. It looks coarser and less inviting lo the eye Ihan other firs ( while il is young), but is a tree which improves every year of its growth, losing that stiffness and formality which are Ihe characteristic of firs in general, and becoming richly shaded in ils bark." A MODERN DINNER.— Tho stomach being dis- tended with soup, tho digestion of which, from the nature ofthe operations which are necessary- for its completion, would in itself be a sufficient labour for that organ, is next tempted with fish, rendered indigestible from its sauces; then with flesh and fowl; the vegetable world, as an intelligent re- viewer has observed, is ransacked from the crypto- gamia upwards; and to this miscellaneous aggregate is added, the pernicious pasticcios of tiie pastry- cook, aud tlie complex combinations of the confec- tioner. All these evils, and many more, have those who move, in the ordinary society of the present day to contend with. It is not to one or two good dishes, even abundantly indulged iu, but fo the overloading of the stomach, that such objections are to be urged ; nine persons iu ten eat as much soup and fish as would amply suffice for a meal; and tt « far as soup and fish are concerned, would rise from the table not only satisfied but satiated. A new stimulus appears in the form of stewed beef, cotelleites d la supreme ; then comes a Bayonue or Westphalia ham, or a pickled tongue, or some ana- logous salted, but proportionabiy indigestible dish, and of each of these enough for a single meal. But this is uot all— game follows; and to these succeed the sweets, and a quantity of cheese. The whole is crowned with a variety of flatulent sweets, and indigestible knick- knacks included under the name of dessert, in which we must not forget to notice a mountain of sponge- cake. Thus then it is, that the stomach is made, to receive, not one full meal, but a succession of meals rapidly following each other, and vying in their miscellaneous and pernicious nature with the ingredients of MacbetlCs cauldron. Need the philosopher, then, any longer wonder at the increasing number of dyspeptic complaints, with their long train of maladies, amongst the higher classes of society.— Dr. Paris on Diet. ROME, AUGUST 14.— The 21st of July was a day of rejoicing for all the antiquaries and literati at Brescia, antl highly interesting to the inhabitants of that city. On a neighbouring bill there has stood from time immemorial a large marble column, and there was a tradition that it belonged to a great temple of Hercules, which bad stood there iu remote antiquity. For these two years past, the Magistrates have caused excavations to n great extent to be flUKlc on the spot, the result of which confirmed the truth of the tradition. From time to time important monuments of ancient architecture and Roman inscriptions were brought to light, nnd every thing indicated that a most extensive edifice had stood there. At length the foundations of an immense temple were uncovered, with entrances to several covered passages. These were examined, and on the day above- mentioned Ihe workmen found in one of them several niches walled up. They were opened, antl in one of them was found a colossal winged Victoria of bronze, and of admirable work- manship. In another, six large busts, one of them re- presenting Faustina, the consort of Marcus Attrclitts, mid a highly ornameuted breast- plate of a horse. In a third and fourth, a richly gilt statue, four feet and a half high, of a captive king, and a colossal m ill: al! these are likewise of bronze, and of fine workmanship. There are also several inscriptions in the building, one of which . mentions the Rrixia P. omana. The eyes of the Kiug and of the Victoria are of onyx. They are tt! l in perfect preservation, aud from the situation in which Ihey were found it is evident that they were concealed and walled up for security, for. both the wings and thewnns of the Victoria were taken off and laid al her feet. At Horncastle fair, on Thursday, several of the principal London dealers were present, and the demand for fhe first- rate horses has been greater than the supply. Messrs. Dyton purchased two fine bright bay horses for £ 350, and several other sales were made in proportion. The Gentlemen of Lord Yarborough's Hunt have for some years been in tbe habit of sending for 50 to 60 hunting horses, but at this fair there were uot more than half a dozen. High prices were asked for the middling kind, which were rather numerous, but few were sold iu comparison with other years, Good cart- horses were in demand, and fetched better prices than were expected. Common hackneys, and in- ferior horses of every description, could scarcely be sold at auy price. As one of the Brighton coaches was changing horses on Friday at Streatham, in consequence of the inattention of tha horsekeeper, the leaders turned round, which gave the coach such a severe jerk, that a gentleman on the box was thrown with such violence to the ground, that he broke his leg, and sprained his wrist; and a gentleman on the roof was precipitated to the ground, and fell with great violence on his chest. The name of one gentleman was Mr. Lord, a solicitor in London, and Ihe other a Mr. Jones, of the Stock Exchange. A Gentleman of Buckingham has, at this time, a number of young tame hawks, called kestrels, stone- galls, stannels, or wind- hovers, the " Falco Tinnun- culus" of Linnaeus, " La Cresscrelle" of Buffon, which hover over his head, then take a cruise into the fields for many hours, return thence to his garden, sit upon his fist and feed, and then go to roost, cruise again the next morning, & e.; and yet will suffer no one to approach them with impunity but himself. He calls them his sailors. They are erroneously called sparrow- hawks, but are no more sparrow- hawks than vipers are snakes, or than fleas are lobsters. The kestrel is the hawk so accurately- described in pages 75, 76, and 77, of Bewick's His- tory of British Birds.— Berks Gazette. Tho Emperor of Morocco does not stand upon ceremony in helping himself to the property of his subjects. A short time since, a person of known wealth who, unfortunately for him, was born in the dominions of this renowned robber, took up his temporary residence at Gibraltar: his Imperial Majesty, perhaps fearing that he was about to withdraw his property from the country, sent an order to the Moorish Consul at Gibraltar to have him arrested: this he could not do; but the Moor knowing the danger his property was in of being confiscated, returned to Barbary, and compromised the business by paying the Emperor 20,000 dollars, though he had not been accused of any crime; the Emperor merely wished to have some of his money. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.— We are grieved to state lhat on Thursday evening last, as three voung ladies, daughters of JohnMotherwell, Esq. of Bally- mote, were bathing at Ballincar, near this town, they unfortunately got beyond their depth, and in a' rapid current, when the eldest ( Rebecca) disap- peared, and the other two ( with merely the aid of a liftle brother, who with singular intrepidity rush- ed to their assistance in his clothes)* narrowly es- caped a similar fate. One of the Revenue boats, happening to be in view of this tragical scene, Irasfened to the spot, and in a short time the crew succeeded in bringing up tht body— too late, how- ever, to render every exertion to restore anima- tion of any avail. Miss Motherwell, whose pre- mature death we are now recording, was most deservedly esteemed by all who had tbe pleasure of her acquaintance:— Sligo Journal. CASE OF JOHN GRATTAN.— It will be remembered that this man was convicted at the last Cheshire Spring- Assizes, of the murder of John Milburne, on the 11th of May, 1824, by throwing him into tlie Huddersffeld Canal, near Stayley Bridge, and had seutence cf death passed upon him. The only evidence'agaiust him was a woman of very ques- tionable reputation, the wife of his brother, who, s! ie swore, also assisted in throwing Mr. Miiburne into the water. Mr. D. F. Jones, who was counsel for the prisoner, argued at considerable length • against the admissibility of this woman's testimony, inasmuch as she could not be permitted to give evidence against her husband; and hei- e it was impossible for h'ei- to impeach the pristther, without also criminating 5er husband. The Chief Justice did not think there was- any thing in the objection of the learned counsel, unless the husband were at the bar as well as the prisoner; in which ease, in the absence of any other evidence of their guilt, the prisoners must be acquitted". His lordship, however, wishing, as he said to efr on the side of humanity, respited the prisoner in order to lay the case before the Judges. What the opinion of those learned personages has been we have not learnt, but Grattan's sentence has been commuted to trans- portation for life. MATCH- MAKING IN PARIS.— There are at least a dozen advertising match makers in Paris; and every day ill the year we find in the petitcs ctffiches, advertisements of maids and widows with from £ 500 to £ 50,000 fortune. The most celebrated of these match. makers is M. Villiaume, a man decidedly born with the organ of conjunction, wherever it may lie; and ha has proved that " great wit to madness nearly is allied ;" the providing for BO many damsels turned his brain, and poor Villiaume was sent to Charenton ( Bedlam), but his ruling passion was strong in madness; and one of his first projects on arriving there, was to marry all the lunatics to each other. His plan was never to make ill- assorted matches. He, therefore, carefully inquired of each crazy inmate what was his rank in society and the state of his fortune: and he was delighted to find that he was in the very cream of society. There were a couple of emperors, five kings, princes, dukes, marquisses, counts, barons, and generals in abundance. They ail possessed most splendid for- tunes. Villiaume entered every item in a book, and each signed the document that concerned him, nc varietur; and in another book they signed an engagement to Villiaume to pay him a handsome per centage on the fortunes of the ladies they might marry. In the meantime he found means to get a message sent to the female ward, requesting the ladies to state their rank, ages and fortunes, & c. Answers came from them all iu the same style as that of the men; and Villiaume anticipated a golden harvest, in the firm persuasion that all the accounts furnished were accurate and unquestionable. Un- fortunately, a few ice poultices on M. Villiaume's head dissipated the splendid dream, and he found the surest negociations would be at his old establish- ment in the Rue Neuve St. Eustaehe. EIARRIAGE.— Marriage is a school and exercise of virtue; and though marriage hath cares, yet the single life hath desires, which are more troublesome and more dangerous, and often end in sin, while the cares are but instances of duty and exercises of piety: and, therefore, if single hath more privacy of devotion, yet marriage hath more necessities and more variety of it, and is an exercise of more graces. In two virtues, celibate or single life may have the advantage or degrees ordinarily and commonly— that is, in chastity and devotion; but as in some persons this may fail, aud it does in very many, and a married man may spend as much time in devotion as any virgins or widows do; yet as in marriage even those virtues of chastity and devotion are exercised ; so iu other instances, this state hath proper exercises and trials for those graces, for which single life can never be crowned ; here is the proper scene of piety and patience, here kindness is spread abroad, and love is made firm as a centre; marriage is the nursery of heaven ; the virgin sends prayers to God, but she carries but one soul to him ; but the state of marriage fills up the number of the elect, and bath in it the labour of love, and the delicacies of friendship, the blessing of society, and the union of hands and hearts ; it hath in it less of beauty but more of safety than the single life; it hath more care but less danger; it is more merry and more sad; is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, aud those burdens are delightful. Marriage is the mother of the world, and preserves kingdoms, aud fills cities and churches, and Heaven itself. Celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, aud is contiued and dies in singularity; but marriage, like the useful bee, builds a house and gathers sweetness from every flower, and labours and unites into societies and republics, and sends out colonies and feeds the world with delicacies, and obeys the kin°- and keeps order, and exercises many virtues, and pro- motes the interest of mankind, and is ( hat state of good things to which God hath designed the present cjnstitution of the world. The King of France, in order to encourage vac- cination, has aw- arded prizes to tlie medical men who vaccinate the greatest number of persons during any oue year. Awful Warning to Profane Swearers.— A few weeks ago a boy named Wilcock, aged 14, in the service of Mr. John Hides, a farmer, of Swinesheacf, 1 was engaged in ploughing for his masier. The horses, being nearly exhausted by their day's work and the intense heat of the weather, did not move so rapidly as the driver wished; he swore at themi repeatedly, and in the most awful language, atidf flogged them umAercvfttlly; and when they still refused to quicken thei. pace, he became so'frantic with rage, that he tore his hair, and, am'o'ngst other imprecations, begged of God to 4 blast his ! imbs.' God heard and answered his impious prayer, for he was immediately struck dumb, and deprived of the use of his limbs. Though' he has since partially recovered the use of some of his limbs, he has not yet spoken, and has at present entirely lost the use of his side. He stili remains an awful monument of divine justice, a striking warning to profane swearers, and to those who still continue fo'tafee ( ho * Name of the Lord in vain.'— Lincoln Mercury. LIGHTNING.— Paragreles, when made in the simplest manner, consist of wooden poles from 35 to 50 French feet high, and fixed in the firmest manner in the ground; on the top of each of which is fixed rr sharp point of yellow brass wire, about the eighth of nn inch in diameter, lo the bottom of this is fixed, by means of a ring, another yellow brass wire, about n 16th of an inch diameter, continued all Ihe way along this pole to three or four feel under the ground, aud fixed to the poles by small wire staples.— By this description it will be seen thai Paragreles are merely lightning- rode nyacle in Ihe simplest and cheapest form, by which it is proposed tt) draw down the electric fluid from the'clouds, and by lhat means to prevent the formation of hail.— The Paragreles ought to be placctl al ( lie distance of 450 Flemish feet from one another. Wheu any tall trees happen to be growing where the pole ought to be placed, the trees may be made use of instead of erecting a pole. It is not necessary to say, that as the Paragreles are intended to draw down electricity, care ought to be taken,' wherever thev ave placed, to warn tbe country people not lo go too near lliem during storms — Repeated trials in America, in Italy, in France, and in Switzer- land, recommend strongly Par'agreles to the attention' of agriculturists. Mr. Thollards. Professor of Natural Philosophy at Tallies, in the Upper Pyrenees, sava that he has seen, during six successive storms which took place there 23d of April, 8th May, 3d, 15lli, 16th, and 17th June, 18S4, some districts, covered with Paragreles, preserved, as if by enchantment, in the middle of olher districts in which tbe inhabitants had not taken the same precaution, and which latter were totally laid waste. Mr. Astolfe, engineer, saw in the month of June, 1824, two frightful stormy clouds', which poured down an immense quantity of hail upon n considerable extent of country, w hich passed harm- lessly over a space furnished will) Parngreles, There only fell some large hailstones between the first ami. second line of Paragreles, but in the interior there visas' only seen, to the great astonishment of the spectators^ to fall, in place of hailstones, drops of the consistence of snow, Tiie Journal of Commerce of Lyons, of 3d August, 1825, contains a fact precisely similar, which happened to the vineyards of CorfSer. Whilst the bail fell in great abundance upon the meadows and fields situated without the line of Paragreles, there only fell upon the vin£ s some flakes oftmow, or rather of a watery substance softer than snow. An hour after- wards another cloud crossed the same vineyards, and presented the same phenomenon. MAJOR LAING.— AFRICA — Despatches have been received at the Colonial Office, dated 18th of June, from Mr. Warrington, Britisfr Consul at Tripoli. These despaches, we are delighted to state, an- nounce the arrival of our intrepid countryman Major Laing at the great centre of African internal commerce, the long soug'tit city of Tiinbuctoo. The date of his arrival is not stated, but from the tkua He left T-. vat it was probable it took place about tha beginning of February. The next caravan whicli arrives at Tripoli from Timbuctoo will bring us further accounts from oua* enterprising traveller regarding his future movements. If he proceeded down the'river Niger as expeditiously as he could, We may soon expect to hear of his arrival' in Eng- land. The reports of the dispersion of the caravan with which he was travelling, after it had left Twat, and* which had reached this country through a respectable channel, are thus, we rejoice to say, falsified. Inured to the African climate, and; ar- riving at Timbuctoo early in the dry season, wo consider every danger to Major Lai tig as over. The navigable current of the Niger will rapidly bear him, we think, to the Atlantic, through countries and powers deeply impressed with the majesty and fame of Great Britain. Two British travellers are at present in the heart of Northern Africa, to which they have advanced from opposite points. Thus, desirasle and important objects are accomplished,.' when irbese are left to men of judgment and know- ledge, and much as we differ from Mr. Barrow about'the course and termination of the Niger, stilt it is Bht justice to state, that it is to. him and the alacrity with which his views are seconded by- the Colonial Office, that the country is indebted for these expeditions, and whatever important geogra. phical discoveries may be madein them. Had these matters continued ttf be left in the hands of the- African Institution, they would have drivelled for a century about Sierra Leone, and never have ascer- tained even the source of the Niger, though that settlement, now settled nearly 40 years, is as near the source of that river as York is to London! No later advices have been received from C'lappertoa than those which announced his arrival atSacktitoo. On the 7th ofMarch he was atKatangab, thc capital of Yarba or Yarriba, a country bordering on Nyffe; from whcnce he was preparing to set out for Xh'. ttia, and from thence to Wanwa and Youri, ( distant four days journey from Wauwa;) thus passing the places where our unfortunate countryman. Park was lost. Katangah is stated to be 30 miles cast of the Niger. — Important information he nrfis?, of course, have- obtained there; but still more important information he of course obtained, and has, no doubt, generally transmitted to this country, in his advance to Ka- tangah, and in his further advance northwards— because in that route, and iu the latter space, ho must have crossed the Niger, and passed Nyffe, at that point where some will have it that the Niger turns east to the Nile of Egypt, and others that it empties itself into an inland Lake.— There he must have received positive information whether the mighty Niger runs eastward, or continuesits course, as we believe it does, southward through that line of country yet unexplored, through which twenty mighty rivers, which enter the sea in the Delta of Benin, descend to the occan. These points, we have no doubt, are in a great measure determined by the advices received from Clapperton; and pro- bably the next Quarterly Review may favour vis witli a peep behind the curtain, which we wait with undiminished confidence to perceive drawn up.— Glasgow Courier.
