DISCOVERY VESSELS.— The Adventure and Bea- gle surveying and discovery vessels are bound 011 a most interesting expedition ; and from its pecu- liar nature, a great accession of information is likely to result to the natural and scientific, as well is to the nautical and astronomical world. From Capt. King's important surveys of New Holland a few years since, which were executed in a manner so highly creditable to himself, and satisfactory to the Lords of the Admiralty, he has been selected to command these vessels. The former vessel has nine, and the latter three chronometers, so that the longitudinal position of the places they visit may be ascertained with the greatest accuracy. The officers are instructed to make collections of ail new and rare specimens of natural history; and these are to be considered the property of the public, and will probably be deposited, 011 the return of the vessels, in the British Museum. As they are to proceed along the coasts of La Plata, . Paraguay, Patagonia, aud Terra del Fuego, round Cape Horn, & c. their labours will be most arduous and anxious ; they have, therefore, been furnished with every thing to contribute to the health, comfort, and con- venience of the crews. LORII GIFFORP AND LORD CHANCELLOR KING. —- The parallel between Lord Gifford, just deceased, and Lord Chancellor King, who died iu the reign of George II. is singular. Both were natives of the same place— Exeter; both the. r. ons of grocers there; and both were born in the same house. Each was put into the way of arriving at legal dignities by chance, from a birth and station in life equally humble. One arose to the Chancellorship, and the other was marked out for that station, had he lived; and, finally, in the dates of their birth there was a remarkable coincidence, Lord King being born 111 the. year 1069, and Lord Gilford iu 1779. A love for learning enabled both to emanci l » ate from their fathers' counters, and mount to the Peerage, aud by somewhat the same kind of step Lord King began the study of the law later in life than the late Master of the Rolls, having Served ih his father's shop until nearly 18 years of age; and many persons were living iii his native city of Exeter, after he arrived at high legal rank, who remembered having the honour of receiving their groceries at the hands of young Mr. Peter, though they had no idea that they then saw in hiirf a future Lord Chancellor of Great Britain. Being passion ately fond of reading, both Lord King and Lord Gilford soon acquired that intelligence which in- duced their friends to think that they were born for something above tradesmen. The first nobleman owed his studying for the bar to the accident of his being distantly related to Locke. That phijosohper, on a'visit to the family, becoming acquainted with the extent of his reading, antl, struck wilh the superiority of mind he displayed, persuaded his father to send him to Leyden to study; aud on his return, greatly improved, induced him to enter him self of the Inner Temple,, where he commenced his career of legal study. Lord Gifi'ord, by as mere an accident, a difference with the solicitor to whom he was articled, was induced to quit a branch of the profession iu which he could never have arisen to be higher than a respectable, or, perhaps, wealthy solicitor, and to study also for the bar. SPAIN,— In 1490, Spain bad scarcely any existence as an integral and independent stale : iu 1550, it was probably the most powerful monarchy in the World io 1650, it had begun sensibly to decline; ia IF50, il had completely sunken from any place of importance among European nations; in 1809, it 110 longer existed, except under the government of a private Corsican gentleman; aud now ( 1825) it ban been conquered and reconquered three- times Bince the beginning of the nineteenth century. AFRICA.— Cape Town, June 10— This etilony appears to be fast approaching its forest possible ebb, for 110 greater distress can well be imagined than has prevailed here during the last twelve months. Men possessing property worth from 500,000 lo 1,00!>; 000 rix- dollars, cannot now raise 5,000. Slaves ( not bavin it in their power to move off ihe estates of their masters) are idling about the vineyards, while the proprietors, for want of capital, are unable ! u turn their attention to any thing else. The farmers are in rent distress from the failure of last harvest, having iu few instances reaped enough to supply them < vith seed- corn for the next season. The people of the United States affect to despise titles, and yet none are fonder of being called Excellencies— Judges— Your Honour— The Honour able— Colonels— Captains, & c.; and to address letter to any decent person in the United States without dubbing him an Esquire, would be the greatest of affronts. By fhe last advices from Calcutta, we are enabled to give the following authentic details of Ihe. military operations which preceded the treaty of peace with the Burmese. On the 25th January Sir Archibald Campbell moved from Mellown, the enemy flying before him, find no opportunity occurred for some days of giving them a further proof nf British valour, except in the coming up of Capt. Trant, and a few of the body guard, upon 400 Burmese, whom they defeated and almost annihilated. On the 9th February, however, a more splendid occasion for displaying our superiority presenter! itself. Tbe reconnoitring party sent out 011 that day to survey the road for next day's march, disco- vered the enemy posted in strength about eight miles in front, in such a position as to leave 110 doubt of bis intention to dispute our progress. They were under the command of a nephew of the late Bundoolah, who had promised to the King, that ' ' he would give him 16,000 men, he would Lead the Englis'. j captives to the Golden Feet. Sir Archibald Campbell immediately determined to attack the enemy on the 10th, and with this view ordered General Cotton to march at seven o'clock that even- ing, so as to join him the next morning. At nine . M. a few shots from the enemy intimated their vicinity, and they were soon, seen in large bodies • advancing on both flanks, and so compact as to lea l our troops to anticipate a very close engagement. It was evident, that they expected to overwhelm us, by their vast superiority in numbers. At this moment,. Major Jackson arrived with orders to hU Majesty's 13th to attack the enemy oa the right, and the 38th on the left of tbe road. The Burmese came on boldly at first, wilh savage yells, and a discharge of musketry, vainly imagining that the small number of the English would be unable to resist them, The illusion was soon dispelled, for the moment that the' order was given, a charge in the, most gallant style was made to the right and left, and a truly British cheer soon drove the Bur mese off in every direction. The 38th, in pursuing, fell in wjth a stockade, which was carried in an instant; the enemy were pursued to the jungle ou the right, when the division wheeling to the left, charged then! in the jungle ia that direction, and joined the general body guard aud horse artillery, and then advanced again towartfs Pagam- mew,— Near this the Burmese were found again posted, with the intention of retrieving their character; they were again charged iu double- quick timfc, and again dispersed in the utmost confusion, pursued bv our troops into their very works, leaving their standards, guns, and stores, in our possession. It is said the enemy lost 1000 men. Our loss was very trifling. The troops were engaged five hours, and the battle ended at three o'clock. Pagam- mew is distant from Patauogah 112 miles, and from Uin- merapoora 153. , PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS. JUST RECEIVED, By JV. and J. Eddoiccs, Shrewsbury, A Supply of that inestimable Medicine, DR.

And their Efficacy has been attested in numberless Instances; many of them on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury ; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over the Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, and over the more established Prescriptions of the Regular Faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DEBILITY, TURN OF LIFE, and any other Affliction of the Body arising from a changed or vitiated System, the PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS . may be relied upon for a certain and speedy Cure. N.

R..—' Tbe neighbourhood of Great Saffron bill, London, Was thrown into the highest deyree of alarm, in consequence of the discovery, on M'ond;- . morning, of a murder, committed at No. il, Lily- street. The unfortunate victim isa woman, named Ambrose.— James Ambrose, husband of the deceased, came home on Saturday last, tfbout ten o'clock, and immediatelv went out again, saying to a lodger in the liouse, that there was no peace for him at home — the old woman was drunk again. He again returned at twelve, and nothin more was known, until,- on Sunday morning, a young man named Brown, lodging in the next room, said the. landlady, tha't lie was afraid something was the matter, as Ambrose and his wife were fighting in the night, and he heard the woman, after a violent blow had been struck, exclaim, 41 LORD receive my soul 1" After which silence ensued. In the course of Sunday, Ambrose told the landlady that his wife was gone to her sister's, who lived at Hampstead, and would not return till Monday— and he several times came in and inquire if she had returned, and was answered in the negative He again made the same inquiry,' hut hesitatingly, as afraid of hearing an answer. During the whole of the night he did not come home, and when Brown got up he observed the doora- jar, but the lock shot and with- out the key. He mentioned this circumstance, and Mrs Jay, the landlady, went up stairs, knowing Ambrose had not been'at home, and knocked at the door, ex pecting she should see his wife. No answer being given, she pushed the door, and saw the bonnet and shawl worn by the deceased hangingup; she became alarmed, and ran down stairs, stating her suspicions Brown and another, who went up. On entering the room nothing extraordinary was visible ; but on turning behind the door, the wretched woman lay extended the ground weltering in her blood, which appeared have proceeded from the right side ofthe head, where several wounds were visible. She appeared to have been dragged across the room. The body was concealed by two chairs with sacks spread on them ; and it was approaching decomposition. Thereis little doubt of the deed having been committed on Saturday night or Sun- day morning.— The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against James. Ambrose. On Monday* an inquest was held at the sign of theiled Cow, Long- lane, West Smith- field, on James Davis, aged 20. Mr; Graham, bookbinder, of Bar- tholomew close, stated, that the deceased vvas the son of a Baptist Minister, resident in Wales, who had put his son. apprentice to him, a few years ago, to learn the trade. Since he had been with him, his health had been in a declining* state; latterly he became desponding. Witness attributed his illness to having been brought from the open air of the country to the vile atmosphere of the town,- and being- continually confined to business Mr. James Park, plumber, stated, that on Sunday morning he was awoke by the deceased, who was very ill; and, on entering his room, he requested him to get him some medicine. Heleft for the purpose " of getting it,, and, on his return, he found the deceased lying on the floor with his throat cut. Mr. Winston, surg- con, of Charter- house- square, attended the deceased for a fever. He had not the power of reasoning, althongh he could answer questions. He was called in after be had perpetrated the act, and sewed up the wound on the throat. -* The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased committed the act while in a state of temporary derangement." The following is the General Order issued by Sir Archibald Campbell after the storming of Pagam- mew i—• GENERAL ORDER. " PAGAM- MEW, FF. R. 0, 1S2(). " Providence has once more blessed with success the British arms in this country, and in the decisive defeat ofthe imposing force, posted inider, and within, the walls of Pagam. mew, the Major- General recognizes a fresh display ofthe military virtues which have charac- terised the troops from the commencement of this war; Early oif this day, the enemy, departing from the cautious system of defence, - behind field works and entrenchments, which forms their usual device of war, and relying oil their numerical superiority and singular advantages of ground, ventured on a succession of hold manoeuvres, on the flanks and fronts of- the British columns. This false confidence has been rebuked by a reverse, severe, signal,- and disastrous. Their troops^ at either arm, were repelled at every point, and their masses driven, in confusion, within their city. The storm of Pagum- mevv whieh followed, exhibited tlie' same features of intrepidity and self- devotion. Tlio frequency of these acts of spirited soldiership on the' pari of his troops, renders it difficult for the Major-; General. to vary the terms uf his praise, but he offers to e- vot- v officer aud soldier engaged this day, the tribute' of his thanks, at once, with the affection of a Com- mander, and the cordiality of a comrade." MANSION HOUSE, LONDON— On FI- hhty, two young men, named Robert and Richard Drurv, were brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge of having robbed Mrs. Francis, a widow< of all tb£ property, ex- cept some household furniture, which she had left'to mai lit a i n h e rse I f au d fo li r child re U. From the evidence obtained by Mf. Cope, the Mar- shal, it appeared that Mrs. Francis uas married to fhe Captain of a small trading vessel, by whom she. had5 four children. He died suddenly abroad about a year ago. She had hat- a sm& U sum of money left her, and she endeavoured to pay her rent, and" maintain her family, by letting- off part of her house, No. 15, Jamaica- street,' ( Mmmercial- roii'd, in lodgiugi, until she could' meet with an opportunity of maintaining herself ai t* family, bv entering into some small business, by other means. On the I? ih of August, however, all her hopes were blasted. A small box, containing her little pro . pertvj £ 77 in money, two gold chains," and some plate, were stolen, with various other aiticles, from her ' bed- room. Amongstother property taken, was the miuiatu. r. t* of her husband. The prisoner Robert Drury had lodged for a short time in the house of the widow,- to whom" he appeared to be a young man of respectable connexions,, living upon some small property which had been left to him. The other prisoner, Richard, was in the habit of visiting him. He came on the day wheu the unfortunate widow was sunk in affliction at her loss, and endeavoured to console her. He recommended that a number of small hand- bills, describing the property, should be left at pawnbrokers' shops, and he engaged to get the bills printed, and to distribute them himself. Shortly after ihe robbery, Mr. Cope, the Marshal, was applied to, and requested to give his charitable exertions in en- deavouring to trace the poor widow's property. He ran to the Bank, and found that some of the stolen notes amounting to £ 50, had been paid in the morning after the robbery, and fifty sovereigns obtained for them, by some person who had given a false name and address. Tlie're was, however, one £ 10 note, with respect to which he requested ( lie Clerks of the Bank to he par ticularly on the alert. A day or two after, word was sent that it had come in. It had been presented with a large parcel of notes from Messrs. Whitmore and Co. From thence it was traced until il returned to Mrs, Kohler's, a furrier, in Cheapside. Mrs. J& ohler uow deposed, that the prisoner Richard Drurv, whom she had known as age in in the furryiuo* business, p'aid her the £ 10 note, for a niuff of supth iop quality, which cost herself £ 8. 19s. Mr. Cope, the Marshal, deposed, that on Tuesday ! week he went, accompanied hy one of the City Officers to the house where the prisoner Richard lived, No. t' Buxton- place, Lambeth, and the prisoner was denied. He \ Vent in, and found the prisoner in bed. Me heard n window open, and something drop ; he looked owt, aud saw a picture- frame, which was not there before; it was thrown out by Robert Drury. He found the whole of the handbills which Richard had undertaken to cir- culate. lie had misdeseribed the articles, so that they would have been of iittle use if thev were circu- lated. When the empty miniature frame was shewn to Mrs. Francis,, for her to identify, she hurst into tears and, for some time, appeared to be hysterically affected. She identified it as part of her properly. The prisoners, who both concealed t heir faces d uring the examination, were then fully committed to lake iheip trials for the capital offence. THE JURY SYSTEM IN FRANCE.— It is known that unanimity is not essential to a legal verdict in France: the following1 verdict and sentence lately delivered at the Assize Court of Paris, will show the weight of authority which attaches to the majoriti) of the Jury:— Verdict— u Guilty, by a majority of seven voices over five, of having, on the 30) h of November last, as agent of Police, ' committed an act of arbitral y power and imprisonment against the accuser Coruille ' Sentence—" The Court, adopting - the opinion of the minority of the jury, acquitted the accused, ami condemn! d the accused, M.

Tlie King lias been pleased lo appoint Sir John Singleton Copley, Knight, Waster or Keeper of the Rolls and Records of Chancery, in the room of Lord Gilford, deceased.— Gazette. The Solicitor- General ( SirCharlesWeliiere. il), it is said, succeeds Sir John Copley in Ihe . office of Attorney- General; and Mr. Tindal will be appointed Solicitor- General.— It is feared that ill health will oblige Chief Justice Abbot to retiie from the Bench. The Attorney General's retirement from tbe Bar will throw abroad professional emolument probably little short of £ 15,000 a year. Sir John Copley having been elevated to the Mastership ofthe Rolls, tlu- Record ership out- city will not, it is conjectured, be ottered to him. Onr learned Town Clerk, Mr. Ludlotv, Mr. Serjeant Wilde, Mr. Taunton, of the. Oxford Circuit, aud several pthcr gentlemen, are spoken of as likely to succeed.— Bristol Journal. A moiuing paper says, il is expected that th* late Allorney- Geueinl " will succeed lo the Deputy Speakership of the House of Lords." To this the Courier says--" We can state there is cer- tainly no intention al present of removing S'r John C'ophy from the House of Commons, where his great talents have, on so many occasions, rendered signal services to Government." CAMBRIDGE, SrpTEIiRES 16.— The elevation of Sir John Copley to the office of Master of the Rolls will occasion a vacancy iu the representation of this TJnivfisily. We presume, huvfever, that the learned gentleman will be re. elected without opposition, un. less he should he raised to rhe Peerage, in which case it is most probable that Mr. Bankes and Mr. Goul bill It w ill agaiu contest the honour of representing the University. By intelligence from Constantinople it appears that the G'lvcrnnnut still pnrsntd its - reforming course without opposition. The Sultan had created a Min- ister of Pol ice, who, besides the usual privileges of a Pacha, has heen invested wirh the potfer of life and death. The organization and instruction of the new troops were carried on wirli activity under Ihe im- mediate inspection of the Sultan, who daily shared in the exercise. His favourite plan is to form a corps of body guards,- composed of the sous of the principal men and nobles of Ibe empire, who aie to seive as hostages for the fidelity of iheir fathers and families. One hundred select youths of that description had beeu brought into the Seraglio, where they were taught ll. e exercise with Ihe Sultan's son. There is not the slightest foundation for the report of Lord Amherst having beeu recalled from the government of India. The Dart, Captain Free, has arrived from South America, having, amongst other freight, about 40 tons of copper ore front the Bolivar mines; aud it is understood that an application has been made to his Majesty's Government to permit it to be smelted here. Copper has been received from the Bolivar mines before, which was smelted where it was dug. Mr. aud Mr*. Canning and tiiile left Dftwntng- * treet on Weduesdav, in two carriages aud four, for Dover, on their way to Paris, on a visit to Viscount and Lady Granville. The departure of Mr. Canning for the French Capital is entirely unconnected with official objects,- being simply for the purposes of health and recreation. DREADFUL SHIPWRBCK OFF RKDCAR.— A Very dreadful scene occurred here on thefith inst. The Esk, a Greenland vessel, bound to Whitby, came on shore during a tremendous gale of wind, about- eleven o'clock at night, nearly a mile from Redcar. The life- boat was promptly obtained from Redcar, aud several individuals, at the imminent hazard of their own lives, pat off towards the vessel, but nfter many fruitless attempts, not having sufficient hands on board to manage the boat, they were reluctantly compelled to give up the hope of affording fhe crew any assistance. The vessel kept beating agaiust tbe rocks until uear five o'clock the following morning, when she parted completely iu two, and the crew, consisting of twenty- seven persons, were instantly precipitated . into the deep! Twenty- three of these unhappy beings soon found a watery grave! The eaptaiu and three of the sailors were washed on shore: every attention was paid to them, and the sailors soon recovered; but the captain, within a few jards of the shore, had been struck by a log of 1 timber, and, on being taken on the beach, life was extiuct.

ACCIDENT.-— We regret to state, that on Monday morning last, Mr. Hazledine, of this town, iron- master, met with a very serious accident. — Mr. Hazledine, with his little grandson, were sitting in that gentleman's gig, opposite the house of a tradesman on the Wyle Cop, in this town, with whom Mr. H. " was conversing on business, when the gig was upset, in cousequence of the wheel of a cart, with which the hoi- ne had run away, coming in contact with tbe carriage. By this accident Mr. Hazledine had his right arm broken, and received several severe contusions; the little boy happily escaped unhurt, a bystander having, with great presence of mind, caught him when thrown out of the gig.— This unfortunate occurrence may be attributed to the fact ofthe driver of the horse and cart having gone into a shop, and left the horse w ith the cart in the streetj without any person in charge of them: the horse started off at speed; and the result was the unhappy accident which it ia our painful duty to record. On Thursday last, a young man, named John Bowcn, son of Mr. Boweu, glazier, Bishop's Castle, while employed in painting on the outside of the mansion at Lotou, in this county, fell to the ground from a considerable height, in consequence of the rope breaking by which he had been sustained. — Every surgical and other aid was procured as soon as possible; but we are sorry to say the young man remains in a very precarious state. " VVe deeply lament lo stale," says the Worcester Herald, " Ihe death of Mr. Philip Mason, a highly respectable chemist and druggist of this city, under circumstances of a truly distressing nature.

The unfortunate gentleman was found lying in the road, utterly insensible, and in which stale he was conveyed to his house in Broad- street, w here, notwithstanding the operation of trepan- ning was skilfully performed, and the utmost medical aid afforded Inns, lie expired about six hours after the accident.

" Parliament being- Summoned to meet on the 14th of November for the dispatch of business, I take the liberty of apprising- you that the objects which his Majesty's government, have in view at this meeting*, are to obtain the sanction of Parliament to the measures which have been adopted for admitting' certain kinds of Foreign Grain for Home Consumption before they would have been, by law, regularly admissible for that purpose, and t. o elect a Speaker, and complete tlie other formal proceedings incident to the opening'of a new Parliament. 44 1 have the honour to be, Sir, Your faithful and obedient Servant, " GEORGE CANNING." Accounts from Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, and Wakefield, epeak of a gradual and steady improve- ment in trade at those places. The cloth and w ool trades have also experienced a favourable change. The French Papers of Saturday state that Lord Cochrane is at Messina, in Sicily, waiting; the steam- boats which the agents of Greece in London bad engaged to send out. We have received, this morning1, the St. Peters- burgh Journal to the 3d instant. Great preparations were making; in the Russian capital for public re- joicings, on the occasion of the Emperor's Corona- tion. The day on which that ceremony was to take place, is not specified in these papers. But while all minds in the metropolis of Russia stem to have been wholly occupied with expecU- d scenes of festivity, intelligence of no .- common importance had been re- ceived from the Persian frontier. General Yermoloff, who commands in Georgia, had sent despatches to his Government, lo announce that the Russian territory had, iu several parts, been suddenly invaded by the Persians," Whether tbe irruptions complained of were acts of individual misconduct, or encroachments deliberately resolved upon by the monarch of Persia, do not present appear. The best understanding, till very lately, subsisted between the Courts of Persia and Russia, and such, we believe, has been the case, with very slight exception*, ever since the year 1812, when al the period of the invasion of Russia by Bonaparte, the war then in progress, between Russia aud Persia, was happily brought to a conclusion by. the good offices of the British Government. The conduct of the Emperor Nicholas on this occasion has been marked by great promptness of decision. Indignant at the outrage be has sustained, General Ycrmoloff' has been at once directed to clear the Russian frontier, by'force, of the hordes by which it has b en overrun and at the same time he has demanded solemn satisfaction of the Sehah of Persia, who is required, within five days, to depose, and inflict ihe most exemplary punishment on, the Chief who first entered the Russian dominion?.

WifLsn CHURCH IN LIVERPOOL.— On Friday last, the foundation- stone of a church for the Welsh inhabitants in Liverpool, ill yvhich the service is intended to be read, and every part of the sacred worship performed, iu the Welsh language, was taid by the Lord Bishop of Chester. This, when erected, w ill be the first church that shall have been built in an English town for the purpose of Diviue wor- ship iu tlie Welsh tongue— The children of ( he Welsh School, and the various Welsh Societies of the town, met at the Welsh School, where they were joined by fhe Clergy of the town, with the Mayor and Bailiffs, who, with a large body of Gentlemen, accompanied the Lord Bishop in pro- cession fo the' bottom of Brownlow Hill, where, with the usual form3 of praise, address, and prayer, the first stone was laid in a solemn and very im- pressive manner.— The silver trowel, on which was an appropriate inscription in Welsh, was handed to the Bishop by Llewelyn Lloyd, Esq.— A cold collation was afterwards partaken of at the School, and the company separated highly gratified with the interesting business of the day.— His Majesty ( on the representation of Lord Kenyon) has given £ 500 towards the erection of this edifice; the Corporation of Liverpool have granted £ 60 a year towards the stipend of the Clergyman ; and a very handsome general subscription has been raised in furtherance of this good work. THE PRiNCii> ALiTV.— I'he heavy rains which fell otHth^ fith inst. and during the following night, while they tended to revive vegetation, deluged the lower part of the country with floods, and rendered the roads almost impassable. lu the neighbourhood of Beddgelert, the waters haye not been more swollen within the last 45 years. The wheats were generally a good crop, but the oats have failed beyond all former precedent: iu many places the shoot was so short, that, instead of cutting them, the farmers adopted the novel mode of pulling them up, and tying them in small bun- dles, much in the same way as gardeners bind bunches of turnips when they are brought to market. The hay harvest generally has beeu equally deficient, aud the pastures almost burnt up by the excessive lieals and lack of rain. Indeed, the cattle have been almost in a state of starvation, and the most serious apprehensions are entertained that fodder in the ensuing winter will be scarce beyond all former precedent. Most ofthe farmers are desirous of reducing their live stock, but can find uo purchasers, except at a ruinous sacrifice, for tbe same reason that induces them to wish to part with it, operates equally with buyers, who na- turally contemplate the dearness of keep, and who will give only exceedingly low prices. In pigs, particularly, the value is depreciated, tlie drovers refusing to give more than 2'| d. per lb. And, what most serious affliction to the peasantry, the crops of potatoes are very short. The dearth of water has been extreme. The inhabitants of Amlwch had lo go 7 miles to Ceinaes for this indis- pensible article; and the inhabitants of Holyhead had to go two miles for it. The late rains have, however, revived a hope of things being better than was anticipated. On Saturday week, the Lord Bishop of Bangor and suite arrived to dinner at YnysymaengWyn, the hospitable mansion of AtlielustanCorbet, Esq. The next day his Lordship attended DivineService at the parish church of Towyn, where he preached a very impressive sermon to a most numerous congregation; aud in the evening returned to Ynysymaengwyn. On the Monday, the Bishop held a Confirmation, which was attended* by up- wards of 570 children, from the several parishes of Towyn, Llaneelynnin, Llanegrvn, and Pennal. His Lordship expressed himself highly gratified wilh the decency and order preserved each day in the church, which was completely filled; and having partaken of a cold collation at the Rev. Mr. Edwards's, proceeded on his way to Llanidloes, where liis Lordship confirmed on the Wednesday a numerous body of young persons.

We are happy fo say that an improvement conti- nues to be felt in the various branches of trade. Sales of goods and yarns are extensive, and em- ployment is afforded in consequence to additional hands; but there is a general complaint of the low prices which are obtained, and the wages of the workman are abated in proportion. We hope that tho calls for manufactures wiil steadily increase till this evil becomes moderated. — Manchester Chronicle.

Madame Caradori and Miss Bacon were the principal vocal attractions; and the latter is spoken of in the warmest terms of praise. The collections at the Cathedral doors amounted to £ 812. 10s. 8d. being upwards of fifty pounds more than was contributed at the last festival in that city. On Tuesday, the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Lowther, accompanied by William Holme, Esq. M. P. for Bishop's Castle, arrived at White's Hotel, in King- street. During their short stay they made several friendly visits, and also went through some ofthe manufacturing- establishments in the town, with which his Lordship aud Mr. Holme expressed themselves highly pleased.— Ou Wednesday after- noon these distinguished visitors departed, gratified with the novelties which they had seen, and with the polite attentions which they had experienced. — Manchester Chronicle. It is highly honourable to fhe memory of Lord Gifford, who raised himself from the office of Solicitor, that his professional deportment to that; body, in all its branches, was marked by the greatest condescension aud consideration. MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION - On Tuesday, the 5th instant, as- tbe Forte frigate, Captain J. Coghlan, C. B. was cruising about 10 leagues to the southward of the Laud's End, a small sail was descried at distance, which, oil Hearing, proved to be a boat from Mount's Bay, containing three individuals ( two men and a boy) in Ihe greatest slate of exhaustion, having been driven out of Mount's Bay, by severe weather, four days before, during which they had tasted nothing except One fish ( a hake}, which they bad caught antl devoured undressed. The boy appeared to have suffered least, but the poor men were nearly expiring with debility and hunger. By Ihe attention antl humanity of Captain Coghlan anil his officers they were speedily recovered, and landed at Mount's Bay, to tbe great joy of their friends, who gave them up for lost,— What renders their escape the more miraculous was, thai shortly after being taken on hoard the Forte, a tremendous storm arose, iti which it was impossible their little bark could have lived. DREADFUL CALAMITY AT THE CONOTRG THE ATRE.— On Friday, about noon, a dreadful accident took place at the Cobourg Theatre, which proved fatal to two individuals connected with the Theatre Three men named Dawson, Webb, and Duke, the former tbe 2d master- carpenter to the Theatre, and the two latter his assistants, had occasion to go into the Gas- room for some purpose with a lighted candle when no sooner was the door opened,, than the whole blew up, and, shocking to relate, Duke and Webb were buried immediately in the ruins. Daw. son was actually blown on to the stage, where the Corps Dramatique were rehearsing. Workmen instantly set to work, and succeeded in digging out Duke from the ruius, after he had been there twenty minutes, aud soon after discovered Webb, both of whom were senseless, and their h? ads so dreadfully injured, that the brains of both protruded through their ears. They were immediately carried to tiie Hospital, where they died soon after. Dawson, although dreadfully injured, still survives, Sir Francis Rurdett is now sojourning at Men- ire's Hotel, in . Paris, where lie and'his suite' occupy tweuly- seven rooms. We hear from genera! report that the shooting season has thus far proceeded with a considerable' falling off in the slaughter to that looked for, not from any deficiency'of birds, for never Were they known in greater abundance, but owing to their extreme wildness, as a proof of which we under- stand two gentlemen of this neighbourhood, both excellent shots, were out one day Inst week, and although they found twent. ij. fwO large coveys of partridges, they did uot bag three brace between thein.— ' Vorcesfer Hera. ld. A correspondence has taken place between soma persons acting on the part of the Weavers of Bolton and the President of the Board of Trade! Mr. Huskisspn's part in the Correspondence is rendered easy by the extravagance of the proposition made by the weavers' committee, which is nothing h- ss than to establish by law a minimum of wages. The Right Hon. Gentleman says, that arty such provision must be impossible, for though the law may say, a master manufacturer shall not give less than a certain rate of wages to his labourers, no law- can compel him to hire labourers at all; and it must e obvious that if the law interferes to prevent his making a profit on the hiring, he wil! not hire them. This it is which, in every c ® ( jiti- y, and at every time, has prevented the establishment of such a check upon employers as the Bolton weavers de- mand. Perhaps in general it might be unnecessary,- after having shown that a thing is impossible to be done, to prove that if possible it would be mis- chievous; in the present instance, however, nothing ought to be omitted which can reconcile the sufferinc manufacturers to their distressed condition, and Mr. Huskisson has therefore clearly pointed out to them! that the object which they pursue vvouid necessarily tend to their destruction. Racers, Brood Mares, Two- year Olds, Yearlings, and Foals, THE ENTIRE Fatal Effects of Passion. [ From the Warwickshire Chronicle of Thursday.] , *' ast week, liytnn brid its neighbourhood were thrown into a state of considerable agitation oeca ' one. d by one of the most tragical events whiVh has occurred in this county during the recollection ofthe oldest inhabitant— that, of a father, in a fit of utf'sj- verntible passion, shooting his own son.'

Mr. Eburne, the father, had heen spending- the evening at the Cock, with a few friends, and left there on foot a short time before the arrival of his son. The deceased being ou horseback, overtook his father on the road, and passed by him without speak- ino- or noticing him iu any way whatever, and reached home a few mtnttles before him. On knocking at the door- he was admitted bv the servant Izzard, who had iust gone up stairs to bed. Ou deceased bein. r asked to come into the house and change his clothes, as they were very wet, he said he would not, but would Vo into the stable, and help the boy Wright to clean liis nag.

On her entering the room where the father, son and Mrs. Ebnrtie were, she went tip to the deceased' antl entreated him to go to bed ; he saitl it was no business of her's, nntl he would not. At this moment the deceased was standing with bis back towards the con pern, the kitchen, and his right side towards a dour leading to what is called the house- the place where the family dine, Ste.- and iu the direction towards his ^ father; Ihe servant was standing within a few inches of the deceased, and Mrs. Ebtirue next the servant No conversation was heard hy the servant lo pass between the father and son nt that moment, except that the deceased said, " Let him shoot me if he likes " lie had scarce spoken the words before Mr. Ebnrne opened the house door, turned towards his son nnd discharged a gun, when the young man immediately fell on the ground, exclaiming « Oh !" The moment Ihe smoke occasioned hy the powder had subsided ij'trs. Eburne endeavoured to raise him up., but the deceased « tiid he would rather lie and die there The dying youth expressing a wish to have a physician the father promptly dispatched a messenger for one' In the interim, Mr. Eburne walked to and fro iu ti e house, still under the effects of passion, saying lie would stnntl 111 his own defence, and addressing- him s » , f to his son, exclaimed " You d ,1 rogue lie there, ' & c. The . unfortunate youth stretched out his hand to It is father, in . token of forgiveness when the infatuated man said, " Von are a rogue, tlnd I'll see you d d first." Every assistance was rendered the wounded young man, which the afflicted wife and the other branches of the family could think nf, and 011 the arrival of the surgeon ( Mr. John Edmonds, of Wolstou), he was earned upstairs, the father assisting ill the melancholy task. The wound was immediately- dressed; but it was of that dangerous nature as to preclude the least hope of his recovery aud the result was as above stated. According to the testimony of Mr John Edmonds surgeon, of Wolston, ond of Mr. Collins and Dr' Mel lor, of Coventry ( who were both culled in to the" assistance of the deceased on Thursday night and who, in conjunction with Mr. Edmonds, opened the body on Sunday last), the contents of ihe gun ( lat- oe shot) bad entered the body on the right side inst between the two lower ribs, which were fractured had passed by und slightly wounded the lower edo- e of the liver, and severely injured the right kidney In which viscus part of the shot was found, but the greatest portion of the charge had lodged' near tha spine, one or two projecting portions of which were 1 nj 11 red. Mr. Edmonds, in his examination, stated, that dur ing Thursday night he questioned tbe deceased as to Ihe manner in, which be came by the wound, aud he replied, " When I came home, my father quarrelled Willi me ; he struck anil kicked me several times and I did not know what to do, so that at last I struck my father several times; but I do not think my father meant to do me any injury, till excited by passitin " And from the statement of Mr. Collins, sura- e'on it appeared that Mr. Eburue's face bore evident mark* of violence ; one of his ears and his nose were cut and his face otherwise injured. 9 During Ihe examination of the witnesses a r° nnrt was brought to the Jury, that Mr. Eburne ( who had absconded) was near at hand, ant! was about voiun tarily to surrender himself. At the close of the exa" minatiou, about four o'clock, if being again staled that Mr. Ehiirne would positively resigtrltimsel'f im to the police in the evening, at a place appointed the Jury, upon the suggestion of lite Coroner, that it'was desirable that the man should have every possible opportunity afforded him of hearing the extent of ihe charge against him, and of ranking nny statement which he thought proper previous to the decision of Ihe Jury, the inquest was adjourned till eight o'clock At eight o'clock they again met, and after waiting" for more than an hour nnd half, a message was received that Mr. Eburne bail failed to surrender him self at the time and place appointed, and that he wis .110 where to be found. The Coroner then read over the depositions to the Jury, and clearly pointed out the nature of the law in cases of this description .' when, after consulting about half an hunt- tltei returned a verdict nf " Wilful Murder" against Mr Eburne, the dither nf the deceased. Sunn after this verdict had been returned, Mr. Ebnrne, who had surrendered himself, was brought in the custody of ti constable, and was shortly after taken before the'Jury and the depositions read over to him. He was then commuted 011 the Coroner's warrant, and yesterday morning lie was conveyed to Warwick Gaol' to aBia, it his trial at the next Assizes. 8AMMAM WAUEJI FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. € t tt}* | RO.

If you have a request to prefer, never com- municate it by letter, when you can, by any possi- bility, ask it personally, for the chances of success are greatly in favour of your applying for what you • want yourself. Your friend, or patron may, for aught you know to the contrary, bo in an unusually bad humour at the moment your missive reaches him ; and in this case a flat denial is almost sure to be the result of a written application. If, however, you can quell your hauteur so far as to wait upon him yourself, you can, if you find it necessary, postpone the object of your visit until be is in a better temper, or, at least, word the favour you seek at his hands in terms suited to the barometer of his feelings; you will have, moreover, many opportunities of throwing in those little accessorial remarks, which are more convincing than any argu- ments, however elegant, which may be conveyed through the medium of a letter. In affairs of love, a missive is out of all question the most eligible mode of communication, for it spares the blushes of the lady, and saves the tyro of a lover a great deal of mauvaise lionte. Besides, the ladies prefer that a proposal should reach them in black and white, as they have then an opportunity of exhibiting the proof positive of the power of their charms to all their female acquaintance ! 2. A man may destroy the passions lie may find it impossible to subdue ; upon much the same prin- ciple that one may shoot the horse that cannot be subjected to the rein. 3. One hears a great deal about physiognomy, phrenology, and other ingenious theories, for dis- covering the characters and dispositions of men ; but there is a test 1 have never seen alluded to, which I regard as infallible, as far as it goes;, and that is the VOJCH. Without entering into a tedious enumeration of the various circumstances which have confirmed me in my opinion upon this subject, I may instance at once the marked and characteristic distinction that exists between the voices of the sexes; for it is only when a woman is of a bold and masculine, temperament, that this difference is not abundantly obvious. " Who does not recognise the supple, but somewhat affected tones of the Italian ; the scrannel pipe ofthe Frenchman ; the phlegmatic growl ofthe German ; the thick, husky grunt ofthe Dutchman ; and the deep, manly, but not. unmusical voice of John Bull! The difference between the voices of these several persons, assisted as it some- times is by gesture, is of marked, and, I would almost contend, of national peculiarity. Again, infinite as is the variety of the modulations of speech, we all recognise a friend, who may have been separated from tis for years, by the first word lie utters, even though his. features may have escaped our recollection. If the voice has then this striking peculiarity, it. is surely not extravagant to contend, that it may safely be referred to as a characteristic of the disposition. It is, in fact, the music ofthe heart; and whatever we may desire to appear, it will echo to its impulses, and be harsh or tender, iu exact proportion to the brutality or suavity of the mind which must of necessity direct it. It is one of those attributes of humanity, which it is next to impossible to disguise. Even where it is softened and modulated by deceit, the insincerity of its tones may be detected, even more easily than the hollow smile of the sycophant or the traitor. By due attention to this very simple criterion, I have rarely been the object of a compliment, ( lie sincerity of which I could not ascertain by the voice of the individual who offered it. I never yet en- countered a man with a loud, harsh, grating voice, who was not selfish, dogmatical, and overbearing. Honesty of character is as observable in the voice in the steady, clear, unshrinking glance of the eye.-- How essentia I is the difference between the tone and manner of speech of the young and the old; the Hold, and careless, voice ofthe soldier,, and., the smothered sttiiffte and smile of the woukUbe saint I might pursue the illustration much' farther, if I had either time or inclination; but I have said enough, 1 hope, to make some converts to my t heo ryv Those who are- setting out on the voyage of the world, will find my hints of use to them. 4. Satirists, whether male or female, are almost invariably cowards. They dread the slightest stroke. of the weapon they are themselves accus- tomed to wield agains t others, with an extraordinary degree of apprehension;, perhaps, because no one knows better than themselves the keenness and causticity cf its . edge. Lord Byron was a striking illustration of the correctness of this remark, lie had so perfect a horror of ridicule, that he would rather at all times have been the victim of the most envenomed calumny, than the object of a single sneer. It was the Edinburgh Reviewer's ridicule of his early poems that first embittered the current of his youthful feelings, and excited his gall. People of his disposition will at all times rather sustain serious injury, than be made the butt of a joke, however harmless and good- humoured. 5. Eschew a fawning, mealy mouthed tradesman with whom you intend to run a tick, for to say nothing ofthe great chance that he is an hypocrite, and will impose upon you, these crawling creatures are commonly the most impatient, insolent, and merciless of creditors 1 was dragged, some years ago, to a sponging house by the familiars of one of these cringing sycophants, ( backed by a sheriff's writ,) for the amount of an account for which he had never applied, and the credit term of which had between two and three months to run. The wretch ( he was an insidious- looking monster, with an excessively long nose, high check bones, and a pair of red ferret- eyes, that appeared, from an habit ua' disposition to smirk, to be for ever dancing aminuet with his mouth, wore stocking- net pantaloons, which shone in the sun like a lawn on the first of May, and a bright snuff- colcured coat) had given me no notice of his intentions, because the nervous sensitiveness of his nature rendered it extremely " annoying" to him to dun a gentleman of my appearance. He did not, however, scruple to marshal the catchpoles to my chambers, and instruct them to refuse me the indulgence usual on such occasions, of waiting until 1 had sent for bail; and all this because he had been informed that my uncle, from whom i had great expectations, had died, and bequeathed every six- pence of his property to his housekeeper. For civility and persuasiveness of manner he would have rivalled All Pacha, who, Lord Byron declares, was the civilest spoken gentleman he had ever met with. The lover of poetical justice will be glad to learn that in consequence of a slight informality in the proceeding, I succeeded, ultimately, in saddling my persecutor with theentire costs of the arrest, and coerced him, moreover, into a donation in my name of £ 50 to Nt. George's Hospital, as a compromise for assault and fulse imprisonment! His name is but hold, I will not gibbet the wretch twice for the same offence. G. If you are really in want of money, and find it impossible to avoid borrowing of a friend, measure your request rather by his power of complying with it than by your own wants;-. for it is far more easy to obtain a large loan than a trifling one. If you only ask for the latter, your friend w ill imme- diately conclude that your situation is desperate, and will mcst probably give you a fiat refusal. If you obtain twive as much a3 you really want, repay one half of the amount in a day or two, and you will so far lull his suspicions that you may take your own time in returning the rest. I have more than once borrowed a hundred pounds of a person whom no earthly power would have induced to lend me ten, had I limited my request to such a sum. This is an anomaly for which it is extremely difficult to account.* 7. 44 What you please," is commonly the language of imposture, and means, in fact, more than I know 1 deserve, or can have the face to require. This is the constant phrase of any aud every body who wishes to be paid for a service, for the performance I. of which the smallest piece of money ever coined in his Majestyvs mint would be an adequate remunera- tion. With all their pretended modesty, however, you can never please them and yourself at the same time. 8. If you must flatter your friends, contrive not to be too particular in your compliment's, lest a large portion of what you bestow in this kind of coin, should turn out, eventually, to be so many excerpts from your own pocket. If you tell authors or artists that they are demi- gods and goddesses, they will, should you afterwards wish to profit by their professional aid, require to be remunerated iu exact proportion to the rank with which your courtesy may have invested them. Their arguments in defence of their exorbitant estimates of their importance will, if deduced from your own idle and fulsome compliments to them, prove wholly unan- sweraV le ; since immortals, whether poets or paint- ers, will naturally expect a higher rate. of compens- ation for their services, than mere matter- of- fact people can have any right to anticipate. That philosopher who has declared that civil words may be employed with advantage upon all occasions, because they are unattended with expense, could have possessed but a very limited knowledge ofthe world. Pat a spoiled urchin on the head, and tell him he is a nice boy, aud he will forthwith look for some premium at your hands for his good behaviour. Should he be disappointed,. he will inevitably set you down either for a liar or a cheat. Upon pretty much the same principle, if a butter- mouthed book- seller or picture fancier were to compliment an artist or an author, by protesting that one painted like Sir, Thomas Lawrence, and the other wrote like the" Great Unknown," be would, did lie afterwards happen to have any business to transact with the object of his flummery, speedily discover, to his cost, that both the painter and the poet will take care to resemble their distinguished archetypes in more respects than one. To compress much useful advice into a very few words, make, the rule abso- lute never to flatter unless you entertain a convic tion, amounting almost to a certainty, that it will not turn out to be at your own expense. 9. Que ofthe most, successful arts of pleasing your friends or acquaintance, is the art of listening to them. Humour them by suffering them to hear the* musicof their own sweet voices, and you are pretty secure of gaining a tolerably prominent place in their good graces. Dr. Franklin recommends per- sons who wish to learn to swim, to put a frog into a glass of water, and try to imitate its motions; but this sort of theory, unless, instead of wallowing about upon a large table, you can flounder in the animal's native element, answers but very ' indiffer- ently.- It is, however, quite safe to imitate the means by which a Scotsman of nous makes his way in the world; because you may practise your task in the same element. A. North Briton is of all men the best hand at conciliating a superior. His air is always deferential; and then he is invariably an untiring listener; « quality which is of vastly more importance than generally supposed. You may, however, carry the joke too far : sheer sycophancy wil! only answer with fools. If you have a man of sense to deal with, and wish to weave yourself into his good opinion, you must take other tow upon your distaff. To an ordinary woman ( and these usually pride themselves upon their understanding and powers of conversation) you cannot be too attentive a listener. A pretty one is a direct exception to the rule. If you listen too attentively to' her, she will take you for a fool. Such jewels very naturally expect to be talked to. and trades are actually taught to criminals. Many persons have thus been benefitted in consequence of heir having committed a crime, by learning a trade, which their more honest neighbours Could not get by un apprenticeship, because they could not afford to pay the requisite premium. Nodelinqsfent now speaks of the gaol he has left wiih feelings of disgust and dread, but as a place where he learned something which he might boast of, aiid therefore totally loses the idea of disgrace from having beeu there. [ 3 it then to be wondered at that the gaols are so full .? Half the time of a man now condemned to imprisonment and hard labour is passed in the company of the Chaplain the Schoolmaster, in a day- room. And, in fact, he does not suffer those privations which the idea of punishment ought, if I am right, to carry w ith it." In this age of cant and general demoralisation of the working classes, we do consider the above suggestions worthy of especial consideration. Imprisonment, if inflicted as a punishment, should be really a punish- ment. Its primary object is to cleter offenders, by example and suffering, from crime— not'to • reform them. Reformation is, indeed, a meritorious object; but it should not he confounded with penalty. The Penitentiary and the House o'f Correction should be kept distinct, Mr. Buxton, a great authority, indeed, contends, that a past ofthe profits of the work done by the prisoner should be paid to him for his imme- diate use; and he is of opinion that prisoners, of all descriptions, should' be allowed to receive and spend a portion of their earnings in prison. For Mr. Buxton's sentiments on all subjects we entertaiu the highest re- spect ; but we cannot help thinking, with all due deference, that a distinction ought to be drawn between two classes of prisoners; those who by law are per- mitted to work at their own will and pleasure, aud t hose on whom labour is. imposed by a judicial sentence. With regard to the former clasp, we agree with Mr. Buxton ; but with regard to the latter, not. The law expressly distinguishes between. the two classes. The 19th Car. II. cap. 4, and ihe 31 st Geo. Ill, cap. 46. sec. 12, empower Justices to set prisoners within the gaol 4 who may be inclined and willing' to wi . k; and to 4 make orders for bestowing the profits for their relief:' and the more recent Act brought forward in 1821, distinguishes between 4 Prisoners by law com. pelluble to work, and such as may be willing to work.' We object, as we said before, decidedly to giving the former the profits of their labour; and we appeal to visiting Magistrates, and to practical men, whether prisoners of both classes whose labour is most pro- ductive, are those most entitled to consideration, or of whose subsequent reformation there are the strongest hopes. We believe not. As to the fashion which has lately prevailed of making imprisonment an object of envy to the labouring population, we are persuaded that a more fatally preposterous notion was never re- duced to practice. The tender feelings of . the humane have for some time past been under a continual state of excitement, to improve the unpleasantness of im- prisonment, and to render punishment comfortable. What is the consequence?— The alarming increase of crime, which is a subject of daily condolence. Nor is the coincidence accidental. It is that of cause and effect. Is it wonderful that a houseless and starving man should be tempted to relieve his wants by acts of lishouesty—^ whcn the penalty is good lodging, warm clothing, excellent food, gratuitious inst ruct ion— present profit for labour, and security for the future, by a-' n apprenticeship fo some trade without . premium ? A clear- headed and able writer on the subject of Prison Discipline, Mr. Barber Beaumont, has will sly and' correctly called these Houses of Correction, Houses of Seduction ! The fact is, as he intimates, that the system does not lead to the RKFORMATIOH, but to tiie PRODUCTION of Criminals! THB. COTTAGE SYSTEM* THE PENAL CODE. In a pamphlet called 4 Outlines of a. Penal Code,'' which Mr. Disney, an Essex Magistrate, some time back published, he has forcibly and truly urged that — 44 lu some cases the prisoner has received in food and- money more during the time he was suffering a punishment than lie could have earned or saved had he been out of gaol, and maintaining his family on tbe usual wages of the country. The effect of this must inevitably tie, that those who were never in a gao! will have less horror of getting in, and those who have been there ( will be) more indifferent as to returning to ii. On this account, the modern system of intro- ducing education ( even so unworthy of the name as it is) into gaols, tends the same way. Education, if il were really such, is a benefit ; and as such should be given to those out of gaols, or to prisoners when they ( cave gaol, and not w hen in confinement. Some gaols, jndced, are now more like manufactories than prisons, A writer who is friendly to this system says', good labourer asserts to the effect, that were he permitted to cultivate seven acres of land, he could maintain a family, consisting of nineteen persons, in humble independence and contentment, paying his rent and taxes, and keeping his family free from the man- degrading curse of pauperism. The state rnent of this labourer has been certified by the corroborating evidence of numerous farmers and agricultural labourers, to whom we have from time to time applied for information; although, while it is admitted that if a labourer were allowed to rent ofthe landlord one acre of land, it would keep him wholly independent of parochial relief, some per- sons, nevertheless, would prefer keeping, tile;!: in their present degraded and miserable co^ dii'ion, under the mistaken and cruel impreasio'n that ex- treme poverty renders their labourers more sub- missively subordinate to their will. Nothing can exceed the stupidity of deploring the immorality and degradation of the agricultural labourers, so long as they are forced to submit to a starving remuneration for their exertions. It is mere, non- sense to suppose, that a man can maintain himself, his wife, and children, having to pay house- rent, to find himself and family in food, raiment, and other - necessaries, upon seven shillings per week; and even that pittance he is by no means certain of, Without submitting to pauperism : it is placing men in that extreme predicament of necessity which knows no law. The land- owners have it in their power to rescue the peasantry from their present miserable and degraded condition : they have only to resort to > he Cottage System. Only allow every peasant who has a family, one acre of land to cultivate, at the same price, or perhaps rather more than the farmer pays, and we should hear no more of re- dundant population, or the market for labour being over- stocked; the peasant would not then be en- tirely dependent on others for his support, neither would he have to demean himself by having recourse to parish pay; the farmer would be relieved- from the burden of poor's rates, and would have about him happy, contented, and honest labourers. The farmer would also be relieved from the necessity of employing his labourers excepting when in imme- diate want of them, as they would have the means of profitable employment at home. This is no theo- retical stuff, like the late propositions for transport- ing the peasantry, at the cost of seven or eight millions to the country ; but it would bo converting a burdensome and clisconted mass of beings into a useful and contented population, forming, as the peasantry ought to be, the pride, the security, and strength of the country. And it should be remem- bered, that every family which is permitted to sup- port themselves without being a burden to the parish, or to society, must be of advantage to society, as they would consume an immense quantity of our manufactured goods. Only put it in the power of the peasantry to clothe themselves decently, and they would be as proud of exhibiting a good hat and* a good coat as any other of his Majesty's sub- jects. Our manufacturers have glutted the markets of South America, under the expectation that the ex- hausted inhabitants of those extensive regions would takeoff the produce of their vast industry; < hey have been disappointed/ and the consequences are notorious; why not, then, create another, a surer, a home market, by enabling our numerous peasantry to become purchasers and consumers, which could easily be done by the exercise of a benevolent and 1 patriotic policy ? Wherever the Cottage System has beeu tried complete success has attended the experiment; even the occupation of a quarter of an acre of land, at a reasonable rent, has been followed by the result of taking the occupant from the parish books. The case, of a Leicestershire gentleman, which has been publicly mentioned, proves to a demonstration how much it is in ihe power ofthe country gentlemen to achieve for the happiness, the prosperity, and the morality of the peasantry. On his extensive domain there are no poor, no poachers, no poor's rates, and, of course, no paupers; and this blessed state of things is produced by his personally securing, to every married peasant, a portion of land to cultivate- during his leisure, in aid of the pay he receives from the farmer, for which he pays a fair rent to the owner of the soil,— no sub- letting.— Were it possible, by any representations, to influence the great body of country, gentlemen to imitate the benevolent and wise example of the Leicestershire gentleman, the advantages of which have been proved by years of experience, we should find that our numerous, or, to use the modern phrase, our redundant population, instead of being, as they now are, a burden to the country, would become the source of great advantage, affording to our manu- facturers an extensive steady home market for their various goods, Society in America, [ FROM THE NEW YORK COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.] 44 My dear," said Mrs. Art ful to her loving spouse one day, as he came in fatigued from his business to dinner. 4C My dear," said she, with a sweeter smile than she had cast upon him for a twelvemonth, — 14 don't you think my complexion has looked rather bilious for a few weeks past ?''' 44 Why MO, my dear," said the husband, fondly patting her under the chin, and little dreaming to what this sudden gust of affection was to lead— " no, my dear," said he, pressing her fondly to his bosom, and implanting a fervent kiss upon her lips — 44 I have rarely known you look so well in the summer for many years. You don't feel ill, my dear, I hope, to- day? The weather has been so delightfully cool for the last month, and the atmo- sphere so bracing and elastic -" 44 Not exactly sick," said Mrs. Artful, before her husband had time to finish his commendations of the weather ; 44 but then you know, my dear," ( not regarding what he was saying)— 44 that it is so unhealthy and disagreeable to spend the whole Summer in the city. And so I've been thinking whether we could not take a trip to the Springs, or to Niagara, just to get a little fresh air. Besides, Mrs. Flyabout has just dropped in, and she is going to make up a fine party. Mrs. Silverheels and jier two sisters, and the daughter who married Mr. Shortstaple, at the South, are to be of the company, and they have invited us to go along." 44 Why, my dear," said Mr. A. 44 you must be aware that the times are very hard. You know I endorsed for old Souchong, his brother- in- law, Dash all, and his hopeful son- in- law, Bob Tandem, and have had it all to pay. And besides, the apostle himself was not more encumbered with his 4 bonds,' than I am with the 4 Life and Fire.'— ' Sdeath ! I might as well- have died and been burnt up at once myself!" 44 But, my dear," rejoined the wife, 44 your busi ness is good— your last cargoes sold well— you sold out your stocks before the troubles came on, and you are getting over your losses; and then the children— Emily, and Catharine, and George, and Frederick— dear little souls!— have not been well these weeks. They should be taken to the country. We can leave them with their uncle Hardenbrook, at Saugeties, where they can breathe and frolick in the fresh air. It will be so delightful!" 44 My dear," said the husband earnestly, 44 we cannot afford it. The children would be well enough if they were not indulged in every thing they cry for, and stuffed with poison in the shape of green fruit and green corn. It is true I hav thus far been able to meet my notes; but I have had to shift and turn every way, and have already sh'innM it so much that i am ashamed to be seen in Wall- street. And then there are the bills for schooling, and the music bills, and the French teacher, and the dancing- master—- the convex mir- rors for the parlour, and the ninety dollars, you know, for your last cashmere shawl— all, all, must be paid next week. Indeed, I— I hardly know"— 44 Oh, you are always pleading poverty, whenevgi; I want to be gratified with a jaunt in the eomrtry for a few days. There's Mrs. Gossamer, and Mrs. Fundable, and Mrs. Yardstick, have all been taking their pleasure in the country these three weeks— and here am I so oppressed for breath— and the dear little ones too— and nothing but Manhattan water, as salt as Lot's wife"—* 44 But do hear to reason, wife. If Gossamer would pay for the last dozen cases of silks which he bought of me— or if Fundable would'nt charge me three per cent, a month for money to pay other people's debts—* or if my business was all profit and no risk, like a draper's, then I would think of it. At present, however, I do not think it would be exactly honest to"— " Honest i- Why, Mr. Artful, need you be more honest than your neighbours? Half of our 4 ac- quaintances have failed since the last year ; and most of them- are now travelling to Catskill and Lake George,- and Lebanon, as though nothing had happened. I don't see, for my part, why you should slave yourself to death, and keep me and the children shut up in the city all summer long, when it is as hot as an oven." 44 But I say again, wife— 1 cannot afford it. If we go, I must borrow the money from old Griptis- an d then if those bills should be returned from England with a protest at their tails, we shali be"— ££ Then you'll be as well off as your neighbours," replied the lady, with much less sweetness of man- ner than she commenced this dialogue. " Besides, to be plain about tho matter, I have promised to go, aud have this morning purchased travelling dresses for the children, which Mrs. Gimp and the two Misses Buckram have engaged to have all finished before the boat goes to- morrow evening. So, you see, go we must, or 1 shall be disgraced, and"— 44 That matter can be easily settled. Give the clothes to the makers for th. fi r pay— it would- be infinitely more to my advantage. It would be far better to suffer that loss, than to expend half a fortune for the sake of using them. And perhaps it would be more judicious, the next time, before you make purchases, to ascertain in the first place how they are to be paid for. And then, as for the 4 disgrace,* which will be the most disgraceful, to stay at home, and, by industry and economy, strive to retrieve our losses, or dash about among the fashionable thismonth, for the pleasure of gazing at our friends through iron casements the next?" Mrs. A. ( weeping)— 44 Tis too bad, I protest that I have heard of nothing from you but losses and poverty ever since we were married. I am heartily sick of it, and our poor children will never be able to hold up their heads in genteel company— they will always feel mean and poverty- struck. They are so much in the habit of believing that you are not worth sixpence, that I really pity them; and if we must all be so miserably off through life, I wish they'd never been born !" It was utterly in vain for poor Mr. Artful " to attempt any farther resistance. His wife was bent on going, and he plainly saw that, sooner or later, he should be compelled to surrender either to her tongue or her tears. With a deep- drawn sigh, therefore, and heartily wishing the Gossamers and the Flyabouts in the depths of the sea, he at length ceased to oppose, and finally yielded a reluctant consent. his worship tlie mayor, with some half- dozen alder- men and commoners, but no judge of circuit attended the morning service of assize celebration. My next pause was through a patriarchal kind of country at Lampeter, twenty- four miles distant; the dullness of which unpretending little market town is now considerably relieved bv the buijding and ap- proaching establishment of a Welsh University, for the training and education of young clergymen to supply the Principality. This* structure is almost completed, aud will, besides ils manifest utility, be one of the ornaments of Wales. It consists of a spacious elegant stone quadrangular gothic building with a lofty turret at each angle, having for one of the sides of its area a fine chapel, with appropriate ornaments, and on the other the great college hall; there will he accommodation for some hundred students. Professors are already appointed in tlie various departments of theology and sciences to be taught there, and the charming environs of Lampeter will henceforth, no doubt, become the rising scene of a prosperity, hitherto unlooked for, but not altogether unmerited, for to the virtuous erudition of a worthy pastor, there are ascribed the choice of its position for this establishment which had been ardently con- tended for in various other parts of the country. In aid of the very important supplies furnished by Go- niiient for this institution very liberal contributions have been raised throughout the Principality, nor has the Bishop of the Diocese been deficient in muni- ficence on the occasion, now truly a national one in Wales. From Lampeter to Aberystwith, the favourite watering place of Cambria, tbe same lovely features of country and scenery gratify the wanderer's eye. At Aberayron, a little sea- port where you strike into the line of coast, is a very remarkable establishment for ship- building, situate at the top of a sloping meadow, at a full distance of a furlong from the water's edge, and. the. descent down to which, when a launch takes place, is ingeniously contrived by means of tressells which gradually carry down their noble burthen upon shifiing rollers, and in one part over hedge and ditch along the intervening meadow. Aberystwith, the next pause in my excursion, goes on improving in public attraction. It has been during this summer quite a popular resort : to such a degree, that besides the two principal inns, the landlord of one of them ( the Talbot) has engaged for the use of his guests a very large new mansion, in form of a caslle, not long since erected, 011 the cliff near the site of the venerable ruins of the ancient castle, for the residence of a private family. The Parade too boasts a number oJ commodious new houses; and a very pretly assembly room, & c. has been added to tlie comforts of the place, where a weekly ball is gaily attended by the numerous visitors, who here enjoy in perfection the sea bathing from a sloping beach of the finest gravel. Here too is a theatre, 011 a miniature scale it is true, but by no means so in point of talent, though indif- ferently encouraged bv the visitors, whose forte for amusement seems to lie quite another way. It w'as here, under the semblance of a dream, that I heard wilh much satisfaction a decisive and well- merited cheque given to the offensive, pracliee of actors in general, who, mistaking the zest of real energy and wit, are prone to interpolate on the stage a disgusting repetition of 44 dammes," and other still mjre profane ejaculations, not at all to be found in the original of their parts. Somewhat oppressed by the day's exer- tions, i could not help dozing in the pit, in spite of the sallies of Sheridan's interesting comedy of the Rivals, which this slumber could not entirely oblite- rate from what was left alive of my imagination. Meihought then, that the French practice of a muni- cipal officer presiding at the theatre, in case of need, was prevalent at. Aberystwith; and that, annoyed like myself a? this indecorous ribaldry, this official personage starting up from the pit, drew from- out of his pocket the white sash. badge of his office ( which over the waters commands respect, like the crown- topp'd staff of any high constable among us), and throwing ii across his shoulder, arrested the perform- ance by the delivery of one of the most spirited monologues imaginable against this offensive practice, against which he made all present partake of bis reprobation, ami concluded by declaring that he would, on every repetition of ii, enforce his cautions by the penalty enacted against profane swearing. The effect of this phillippic was cogent, both upon the audience and the a'et. ors, and a buz of emotion around, which awoke me out of my dream, only to wish that, it had been in reality, not a vision, nor confined to the boards of the little theatre at Aberysiwitli. From hence tlie rambler in Wales cannot well bsiain from extending his course to the sublimities of the DeviPs Bridge; tbe alpine cataracts, and impressive scenery of which, would, if previously xplored by Englishmen, abate much of the enthusiasm n& pired by the display of nature's grander works in Switzerland. The next station of note is at the old town of Ma- chynlhth, noted for being now the cleanest in Wales, but stiil more deservedly so for having been anciently the place where the Hero of Cambria, Owen Glen, dower, held his court, in an old house still shewn to strangers, and distinguished from the other similarly obscure ones around it only by the remains of archway in the wall, which is supposed to have been part of a vaulted passage. From Machynlleth to Dolgelhj, along the lovely ake and vale of Tal y Llyn, and under the lofty brow of the far- famed Cader Idris, is a most enchanting pilgrimage for the pedestrian traveller, or dri< re for the more luxurious one; and it may be interestin each of these classes to observe, that the only restin place on this stage which is laid down on all maps and itineraries, & c. as the 44Blue Lion,'''' a small public- house, 11 miles from Dolgelly, at ihe bead of Cader Idris's romantic pass, is no longer to be met wiih ; and that if, like me, depending upon what is i print, they pass by the humble sign of the. White Goaty in the persuasion of presently falling in with the Blue Lion aforesaid, they will have to inarch 011 without a hailing place to the end of this, now romantic and secluded 17 miles, trying stage. From Dolgelly to Barmouth is a ten mile ride, along the banks of a navigable river, by many said to be unrivalled in beautiful scenery throughout Eng- land.— Barmouth is also a much frequented pictur- esque watering place, and being on a small scale has thi » summer been thronged to excess. Several fami- lies of distinction have been among the visitors this season at Barmouth, among them are the Earl of Powis, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn,- & c. & c.

MURDER AT CARLISLE— A most horrible murder was committed within a few hundred yards of this- city, on Wednesday afternoon. An Irish small ware dealer, resident in Carlisle, induced one Mary Brown,- a woman of ill- fame, with whom he was on intimate' terms, to accompany him into a field, and there Ive literally beat in the fore part and one side of her head with a hammer. Thinking her dead, he laid hold of his victim for the purpose of burying her, but she opened her eyes, and looked upon him so piercingly, that he, according to his own confession, instantly quitted the scene of blood, and set off for Scotland.' After walking 14 miles, he became so troubled in his mind at what he had done, that he returned, and ou Thursday afternoon again visited the field, and to his surprize and horror, he found the poor woman still alive but motionless. After gazing on her a few minutes, he repaired to the town, and confessed the deed he had done to several of his own acquaintances, who at first thought him mad; but on going to the spot which he had described, there lay poor Mary* Brown, weltering in her blood, and life nearly extinct. She was removed to her lodgings, and in a short time expired. On examining her head, the skull was found to be fractured in several places; the brain protruded from two of tlse holes made by the hammer, and one of her fingers was broken, and nearly cut off' by a blow received 011 it in attempting to defend her head wiih her hand. The Coroner's Jury, after a full in- vestigation, returned a verdict of 44 Wilful Minder" against the perpetrator, Phillip Tinnely, and he was sent to gaol. ELECTRIC CLOUDS.— Clouds often contain the electric fluid in prodigious quantities : and many terrible and destructive accidents have been occasioned by clouds very highly electrified. The most extraordi- nary instance of this perhaps on record, happened in the island of Java, in the East Indies, August 1772. On the eleventh of that month, at midnight, a bright cloud was observed covering a mountain in the dis- trict called Cheribon, aud several reports like those of a gun were heard at the same time. The people who ihvelt upon the upper parts of the mountain not" being able to fly fast enough, a great part of the cloud, eight or nine miles in circumference, detached itself under them, aud was seen at a distance, rising and falling like the waves of the sea, and emitting globes of fire MO luminous that the night became as clearasday. The effects of it were astonishing; every- thing was destroyed for twenty miles round; the houses were demolished; plantations were buried in the ea? ih : aud two thousand one hundred and forty people lost their lives, besides one thousand five BKIMMMAS OF A KAMBLEE; Or, the Voltigeur in Wales. to [ FROM THE BATH JOURNAL.] Beaumaris, Anglesey, August 30.

Among the mos prominent are two spacious solid piers, opening high water a most commodious aud extensive harbou for ships of large burden, and obviating all the incon venieuees of the old roadstead in the bay. A watering place too ( though unavailable 011 account of the distance of its commodious sands, except when the tide is nearly full) the accommodations are nine increased by the building uf an elegant row of man sions, with an extensive hotel in the centre, upou the strand, commanding a beautiful range of view along the channel, skirted by the picturesque Mumbles and tbe fine ridge of Glamorganshire mountains. Proceeding to Carmarthen that day, the alternate features of romantic dell with feitile meadows and mountain streams meandering thiough the vales, con- trasted with the tracts of hilly aud rude Welsh land- scape, afforded an interesting journey; one of whose noble vistas was the view of Sir Robert William*.'* beautiful seat near llhyd, and his celebrated grounds and mountains, the boast of South Wales, on the conspicuous summit of which stands Nelson's elegant triumphal sexagonal tower, erected in honour of that naval hero at the sole expense of the spirited pro- prietor, though truly a provincial ornament. In point of local improvements Carmarthen appears rather stationary, but the united bustle of a market day, fair, and assize time, produced such an influx as to expose the evening comer in ( o all the comforts of a bivouac, which I succeeded however in escaping, and the next day ( Sunday) at church, bad occasion to admire the unpretending way in which the High Sheriff on foot, with an nnmarshalled procession of tlie town trumpeter preceding the javeiiu men and iWiscsUanmis Intelligence During the past week seven vessels have arrived at Perth with grain from the Baltic.

Five vessels more are daily expected. The importers have made a most fortunate speculation.— Edinburgh Evening Courant. MARGATE, SEPT. 6.— A laughable circumstance happened on the jetty the other day.' It appears that the tide making up, the centre of the jetty becomes first inundated and impassable. It hap- pened 011 the occasion alluded to, that some twenty or thirty person!, who were not aware that this was the case, had got to the far end of the jetty, com- fortably amusing themselves with watching the progress of the vessels at sea, till at length the water found its way to within about twenty yards of them. On perceiving their situation, they were, of course, anxious to retreat; but 110— the sea had made so considerable an inroad, that the jetty in the centre could not be passed dryshod. Some pulled off their shoes and stockings, and walked through it up to their knees; some crawled along the railings; the young ladies screamed, arid some fainted— the children cried, and the old folks were in a dreadful fright for fear of their being lost at sea, as they called it. The boatmen, however, see- ing their situation, soon put off, and liberated them, at 6d. a head, from the danger that awaited them.

At the late meeting ofthe Somersetshire Auxiliary Bible Society, the Rev. Rowland Hill, after some prefatory observations 00 the difficulties which the Society had to encounter, particularly adverted to those which had transpired in regard to the circula- tion of the Scriptures among the Roman Catholics in Ireland, and on the Continent. In the course of the everal visits he had made in Ireland, the opportu- nity of judging of that fact had been presented to him in many painful instances; and in his conversa- tion with the peasantry of that country, he had uniformly found them blindly resigned to the influ- ence of their priests, and iu abject fear of encoun- tering their displeasure by any efforts to improve themselves. The Sacred Scriptures were in most instances entirely unknown to them, and the desire of possessing themselves of that inestimable trea- sure was repressed by the consciousness that any such disposition would incur the reproof of those into whose hands they implicitly commit the guardi- anship of their future welfare. What a pick- pocket business, old Bishop Latimer used to say, this purga- tory is and always has been— that a man cannot get out of the hands of the devil without paying a Priest for that purpose! The duty of every Christian is to place the Bible in the hands of ail men, and to say nothing about any creeds whatever. Oil Wednesday and Thursday last, the Commis- sioners under Messrs.

We have now the pleasure to announce, that the first dividend under Messrs. Wentworth and Co.' s commission will be declared on the 5th of October, payable about the middle ofthe same month, and that it is expected to amount to 5s. in the pound. It is said, that claims against the Bank arising in various ways have been settled since the commission issued to the amount of nearly £ 300,000, reducing the amount of the out- standing demands against the firm from £ 800,000 to £ 500,000.— Leeds Mercury. At the Castle of Exeter, on Friday, Wm. Butland, a farmer of Whitstone, was summoned on the com- plaint of the toll- gathe'rer at the Okehampton gate, for refusing to pay toll for a cart with broad wheels when carrying lime, on the grounds of their deviat- ing more than an inch from a flat surface; when the Magistrates, after a minute inspection of the wheels, decided that as the sole or bottom of the wheel came in contact with the ground, the deviation was not more than inch ( which the Act allows), and therefore dismissed the case. A GUINEA FOWL.— Mr. Ferguson, of Hollow Bank, near Catterick Bridge, has now a guinea hen ( certainly worth a guinea, if the statement be true') which has laid 140 eggs in a hundred and . forty successive days, and is still going on at the same rate. Many of the eggs were placed under other hens for the purpose of being hatched, and they have now 80 chickens of this species of bird.
