He has likewise appointed them to sell the under- mentioned newly- discovered Articles : POUDRE UNIQUE, for changing Grey or Red Hair to a Light Auburn, Brown, or Black. His POM A DE REGENE RAT RICE, for the Growth and Preservation ofthe Hair; to which J. DKLCROIX has particularly directed his Studies, and which bas led him to the Discovery of this valuable Compound, composed of several Plants, the great Properties of which, for the Growth of the Hair and preventing its falling off, have been hitherto bur partially known in this Country ; it would be superfluous here to enlarge oil the Merits of this Compound, as a short Trial will fully evince its Efficacy. His POUDRE SUBTIL, for removing superfluous Hair. This Imperfection J. DELCROIX has obviated, by offering to the Ladies this invaluable Remedy, which will effect this Object in eight Minutes, without the least Inconvenience br Pain, and leaving thai Part of the Skin extremely soft and smooth. Sol< 1 in Boxes, with Directions for Use, with the Proprietor's Name, at 5s. 6d. each.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. = As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, : Person has tbe Pretension to say that he is ihe only, , > roprietor Of the genuine Article, when in Fact he fs lerhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear's 1 irease ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves the 1 frouble of smelling it with Attention, they will e; » sily ( liseover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- i ure of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, s jerfunied with a little Bergamot ; which, from having 1 malyzed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to be a Fact. j Such Composition, in Lien of being beneficial to the I Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly i contrary effect ; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of , l very desicative Nature, and uot of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may lie re- garded as one of the best Articles for promoting the Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Public from falling into Error by using such Imitations, which a re so insulting to the common Understanding, and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DBI. CROIX begs to give a brief Description of it : — The Fat of the Animal, when he receives it in Casks from Russia, is rather offensive, and of a Yellow Reddish Hue, but when purified, it resembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is of an oily and rich Nature. To be had, GENUINE and well perfumed, in various sized Pots, of J. DELCROIX, Perfumer to the Royal Family, 158, New Bond street ( removed from 33, Old Bond- street), and sold, with his Name, by Mr. William Nightingale, Mr. John Nightingale, Mr. Thomas Bovvd- ler, Mrs. Hulme ( Pride Hill), Mr. Samuel'Hulme, Mr. Pylie, and Messrs. Whitney and Co. Shrewsbury, and by all. the principal Perfumers and Hairdressers in the United Kingdom ; and- where also may be had, his admired ESPRIT DE LA VAN DE AUX Ml LLRFLBURS, BOU- QUET DU Roi ( G. IV.), and every olher Article of his superior and uiuch- ceUbrated FORJIICN PKIIFOMERY. t . In the speech on the subject of our Navigation ^ Laws, delivered by Mr. Huskisson in his place in Parliament, on the 12th of May last, and which has ( recently been published in a separate pamphlet, the Right Hon. Gentleman, after taking a view of our navigation system, and stating the object of the proposed alterations, proceeds as follows: " The peace with America gave the first great t blow to the navigation system of this country. There had novv arisen an independent state in the new world. Our colonies had fought for, and had taken, a station in the rank of nations. They had now interests in navigation to attend to, and a commerce of their own to protect. It therefore became imperative on this country, unless we were prepared to relinquish all trade with America, to conform to circumstances. It was impossible- for us, in this new state of things, to enforce the system of our Navigation Laws, which, until then, we had so rigidly insisted upon. That part of the system which provided that none of the productions of Asia, Africa, or America, should be imported into Eng- land, except in British vessels, could no longer be adhered to. " After the peace of 1783, and before the general congress of America had established that system of government under which the people of the United States now live— a work which was not completed until the year 1787,— each of fhe different States then composing the Union was at liberty to act independently of the others, ifi matters relating to its trade with foreign countries. Accordingly al- most every State established a different rule of com mercial intercourse with this country. The general character, however, of their legislation was con- ceived in a spiritof peculiar hostility ( not unnatural, perhajv5, so soon after the exasperation excited by civil discord) against trade with Great Britain. In some of those States, indeed, British merchants were prohibited from trading with them altogether : in others, heavier duties were specifically imposed upon British merchandise; and in all, a desire was manifested to give a decided preference to the goods of other countries. " That state of things continued till the year 1787, when the General Congress met, and one uniform system of commercial policy was laid down. By that system a heavy blow was aimed at the naviga- tion of this country. It was resolved, that all foreign ships trading to America should pay half a j dollar,— which was afterwards raised to a dollar,—>! per ton duty, beyond what was paid by national ships. And further, that goods imported in foreign vessels should pay a duty of ten per cent, over and above what was demandable on the same description of goods imported in American vessels. l nis system, in the actoption ot wnicn the Americans had, in a considerable degree, followed the example of their English ancestors, was likely to become seriously prejudicial to the commerce and navigation of this country. The proper authorities, therefore, set about considering what was to be done in order to counteract it. The Board of Trade had recourse, for advice, to the most eminent mer- chants and practical men : and various projects were started on the occasion. One plan proposed to give a bounty on all goods exported to America in British ships. Another, to impose a duty on all articles carried out of this country in American ships. A third, to retaliate upon the Americans, and, following their example, to lay a specific duty on American ships, and on goods imported in those ships. These and various other plans, having the same object in view, on being sifted and examined, w ere found to be open to insuperable objections. It was shewn that, without attaining their object, they | would prove injurious to the commerce and manufac- ] | tures of this country ; and all of them were in con- sequence abandoned. / iiier i ii is enquiry, aim a ion « - suug- giu iu s counteract the navigation system of America, with- s > ut in any degree relaxing our own, this country ^ ' our. d it necessary to adopt the system of reciprocity, j > n which, since the year 1815, the commercial i ntercourse between the two countries has been t placed; namely, equality ot all charges upon the i ships belonging to either country in the ports of the other, aud a like equality of duty upon all articles the production of the one country, imported into other, whether such importations be made in ships of the one or the other. In the practical con- sequences of this arrangement, our adherence another part of our Navigation Laws, instead serving, appears tome to have shackled the shipping interest of this country. Our law still provides that goods, the produce of Asia, Africa, or America, shall not be imported in foreign ships, unless they be ships of the country of which the goods are the produce. The Americans retaliate this restriction by applying it to all goods the produce of Europe. An American ship trading to this country has, in consequence, a great advantage over a British ship trading to America. The American vessel, on her voyage to England, is freighted with a cargo wholly produced in the United States. She has nothingelse to bring here. For her return to America she may load in the ports of this country with a cargo, partly the produce or manufacture of Great Britain, and partly of any other country. Tbe British ship is debarred from this advantage. Her cargo, when trading to the United States, must be exclusively of British origin. For instance, an American vessel, at the port of Liverpool, may take nine- tenths of her cargo in articles the produce of Lancashire, and the remainder may be made up of brandies, wines, or the produce of any other part of the world, to be procured at Liverpool. But if an English ship, proceeding to the United States, were to take a single cask of brandy, or a single pipe of wine, she would be liable to seizure and forfeiture. Is it uot, therefore, fairly to be presumed, that a further relaxation of our system, to the extent of allowing the importation ( from the United States) of goods the produce of any part of the world, iu American shipping, on condition of the like privilege being ! granted to British ships- in the ports of the United States,— however departing from the policy of our ancestors,— would be rather an advantage than an injury to the shipping interest? " Shortly after the commercial legislation of the United States had assumed, in 1787, a regular shape, ; and an uniform, character, the war of the French revolution broke out; a war which lasted nearly a quarter ofa century. The course of this war was marked by so many strange and anomalous circum- stances, both by land and upon the ocean ;— so large a portion of the continent of Europe, includ- ing nearly all its trading and maritime communities, became subjected to the despotism of one great military power;-— that despotism was exerted in so extraordinary a manner as to crush maritime com- merce ;— that it would be vain to enter on the history of our navigation system, or of that of other coun- tries, during this long contest. It is, however, certain that the commerce of the United States or' America, which were the only, at least almost the only, neutral power that could trade in safety, was greatly benefitted by the war. It is equally true, that Great Britain, being well able to protect her commercial marine, in consequence of her vast naval superiority, did extend that commercial marine in spite of ajl difficulties, whilst that ot tlie other I countries of Europe was greatly reduced. It is unnecessary for me, as the facts are so well known, to dwell further on the circumstances of that war. We may, therefore, as far as relates to the present question, pass over the period between 1792 aud 1815. " At the latter period, peace being restored, and with it the iudependeuce of the States which had j been incorporated with France, the commerce of the . world began to revert to its ancient channels. The j nations of Europe, whose flag's had for a long series . of years disappeared ' from the ocean, were now s naturally anxious that their own trade should be carried ou in their own ships. This gave a check to the shipping ofthe United States, whi-; h w as also felt l> y the shipping of this country. Perhaps iu a greater degree by our own shipping, in consequence! of the restitution of several extensive and valuable colonies, vthioh we had capturM and held during the war. " Besides this material circumstance, there were others, to which I will briefly advert, which had a natural and inevitable tendency fo interfere with, and diminish, the employment for shipping in this country. " The first to which I shall e. llude is the abolition of the slave trade. They who are old enough to remember,— and I am one of the number,— the early- debates which took place on this subject, will recol- lect that the arguments in opposition to the measure were grounded ihiefly on the danger with which it threatened the shipping interests of the country. The necessity of kidnapping cargoes of slaves on the coast of Africa was at that time as coollv defended, on thelscore of encouragement to our marine, as the taking of codfish on the banks of Newfoundland could be at the present day. That traffic was, how- ever, abolished in 1S06; and happy I am, that the interests of humanity, and the honour of the English name, were from that year no longer sacrificed to the plea of the shipping interest; though I may, I think, fairly adduce the abolition of the slave trade as having taken away one source of employment. " After the general pacification of Europe, but before we dismantled our fleet, we insisted on the powers of Barbary desisting from the practices of maritime warfare, carried on bycruizers under their flags in the Mediterranean. These corsairs were constantly taking prisoners, either for the sake of" ransom, or for the purpose of carrying them into' slavery. Whilst this system was tolerated, scarcely any trading vessels, those of Great Britain exeept- edj could navigate that Sea in safety. In this state of things, it was highly honourable to this country to have used her naval power,— the dread of which had constantly ensured respect for her own flag,— for the purpose of procuring an equal degree of security for the navigation of all Christian States. ' This was no positive duty which we were bound to ' perform. We were not called upon by any inter- national engagement, nor by any moral obligation, > aft- ki the case of the slave trade. The act was one; 1 of spontaneous generosity. But however high- ' minded in principle, it is not the less true that the; " result of our interference was injurious to the ship- ' ping interest of this country in the Mediterranean. * Since ( he bombardment of Algiers, the flag of every * petty State bordering on that sea floats in equal ' security with our own. I am not accurately in 11 formed what was the quantity of British shipping employed in the carrying and coasting trade of thosi 11 States before this change, but I have heard it stated in this House, by one likely to be well informed e ( the late Mr. Marryatt), that from eight to ten d thousand British seamen, and from seven to eight y hundred British vessels, were engaged in that com- < 1 tnerce. Consequently, to that extent has the em- s> ployment for British ships been diminished in the e Mediterranean. ' e " But these were pot the only circumstances, at r- the close of the late war, which had a tendency to ' e reduce the amount of our shipping. With the termination of hostilities there was necessarily a diminished demand for ships in the public service. R The greatest proportion of those which had been to taken up as hired transports was discharged I s> have obtained a statement of their number and ton- ty nage, as they stood at the termination of the war, se and of the number and tonnage of those employed at ^ the present period. The diminution is not less thau d, 1,226 vessels, amounting to270,882 tons. It " In the next place, vye had to sell out of the sy King's service a number of vessels which were no IC- longer wanted in the uavy. 1 do not advert to ships a- of the line, or to frigates of the large class, which are always sold subject to the condition that they to shall be broken up. Of this latter description of Eh- ships 1 lake no notice; but confine my statement to ry vessels of smaller burthen, adapted to other pur- ty, poses than those of war, and which are consequently ial not so required to be broken up. Of this class, ; en there has been sold no less a number than S33, the : he amount of their tonnage being 93,530 tons. So that, [ he if we add to the number of transports discharged les the number of ships sold, we shall find that his the Majesty's Government has set free, to compete with the the commercial marine of the country, 1,559 vessels, on- amounting in tonnage to 363,912 tons; a quantity to nearly equal to one- fourth of the whole shipping of of the country, us it stood in the year 1793, at the ing commencement of the late war. hat 4t ' i'here is yet another circumstance to which, ica, before I quit this part of the subject, I must refer, ley I mean the alteration made in the year 1815 in the foreign corn trade of the country. During the ion war this trade afforded regular employment to rio ) pe. inconsiderable quantity of shipping ; but since the , law has been altered, and the ports have been ' hip generally shut against the importation of foreign corn, that employment has ceased, lu a desultory oily intercourse like that which alone can exist under else the preseut law, the opening of the ports being nay sudden, and in most cases uncertain till the quarter rtly ly average is declared, it is almost impossible that the trade, when permitted, should not fall into the p hands of the foreign ship- owner. The period for hen which the ports may continue open being limited to y a few weeks, the persons who wish to take advan- ssel, tage of that opening, instead of fitting out ships in s our ports, send their orders to the continent, with directions to forward the corn by any vessels that ties, can be procured on the spot. Hence the almost ) exclusive employment of foreign shipping ia this hip, occasional trade. te a " 1 must now crave the indulgence of the House she while I show what was the situation of this country, uot, with regard to its shipping, previous to the last war. ther In 1792, one of the most prosperous years which the ving country has ever known,— the year immediately oods preceding the breaking out of that war, iu which iean we were called upon to make such immense efforts eing to maintain our naval superiority,— the number of lited registered ships in the several ports of the British our empire was 16,079; the amount of their tonnage man 1,540,145 tons. In the present year, that is to say, iu the year ended the 31st ol' December, 1825, the ' number of registered ships was 24,174 ; and the tape, amount of their tonnage 2,542,216 tons; shewing euch an increase of one- third in the number of ships, aud rly oftvvo- fifths in the tonnage, within that period, " Having stated the number and tonnage of our cum- registered vessels at the commencement of the late — war, 1 will now show what they were at the close. 21ud- In 1815, the number was 24,160, aud th^ amount of ities, their tonnage 2,681,276 tons.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, I agree with, fhe grntleman sfg* ning himself " A Trustee," that " in every question of public import- ance, and especially of such vital'consequence to the community here, as lhat which relates to the Salop Infirmary,- it is most desirable that men should meet rlje discussion with minds as free from parly spirit and interested vieu? s ws possible,. 11 and join him in paying due honour to the name of the Projector ( or, as 1 should call him, the reviver of the project) of an Iron Bridge over the Severn from the Quarry ; but, having done this, I must beg leave to differ from him in other. points, for every rational individual, who keeps steadily in view what the grand and principal object of an Infirmary is, aud how that object is to be most easily and effectually obtained, cannot but consi- der, the 44 fulfilment of the project11 of having our Infirmary where the House cf Industry is, as any thing but " the glory of the place11 — any thing but " a , magnijicen t i d eaIt w on Id be, i n fac t, an i 11 us i v e experiment— a conversion of an Institution, which has hitherto been of incalculable benefit, from the prompt and unremitting attention paid to ils unfortunate inmates and out- patients, into one that, from the impossibility of such attention being bestowed, would soon descend from its present high character, aud become comparatively of little value. The 44 Trustee" considers, and truly so, that all plans, conie from what quarter they may, if con- taining any useful hint, or throw ing out any wise and prudent suggestion, are certainly deserving of appro- bation and attention ; 11 but his letter clearly shews, thatv/ fe is writing iu defence of the project which, as well as the observations he makes in support, of it, has an eye more, to the extension and improvement ( if improvement it could be called) of Shrewsbury, than to the welfare and recovery of those unfortunate indi- viduals, who, from dreadful accidents or disease, combined with poverty, are compelled to seek that assistance which, through the praiseworthy benevo- lence of Ihe county, combined with the eminent skill and gratuitous services of the Medical Gentlemen attached to the Institution, our Infirmary is in the daily, I might say hourly, practice of affording. And, therefore, whilst I leave bim again to ruminate upon u the future greatness" of the " magnificently ex- tended town," of which the House of ludustry, alias Infirmary, is to " form the grand centre," and to wander amidst those i( lofty churches, stately squares, and edifices, 11 which the exuberance of his imagina- tion, or the wilduess of his fancy, has pictured to his mind as the. inevitable fruits of this wonderful Iron Bridge, I would seriously ask him, whether he has ever taken into his cool and dispassionate considera- tion what " all" those 4< supposed inconveniences" aie, Which the cautious and humane, the judicious and benevolent, or, as the 44 Trustee/ 1 in the hacknied language of the Liberals and Innovators ofthe present day, calls them, " timid spirits," attach to the House of Industry as an Infirmary ? If he have not, I would recommend him to do so, and also to apply for information to those Professional Gentlemen, under whose skilful and active superiutendance our Infirm- ary has been the means of curing and relieving so many thousands of individuals, many of whom, but for the prompt and efficient attention they received, must have died : further information he may also obtain from some of those individuals who, when o « <- patients, ' could'with difficulty, even in the present convenient situation of the Infirmary, find strength to. get up there, much less could they do so to the House of I ndustry. As 44 a Trustee," and in a question which he admits to be of 14 vital consequence to the communityhe surely must have referred to the minutes of the Committee, to see what proceedings were going on; if he did, he would there find it recorded, as land many ollm- s have done, that'it is,, 441 the UNANIMOUS u opinion ofthe Medical Gentlemen who superintend 44 the Patients sent to the Infirmary,, that the PRESENT 44 SCITE is the best which presents- itself in situa- 4< tion, with a view to the healib,, comfort,, and-' cow- " venience of the objects for which' the- Institution " has been formed, and one which unites the greatest 44 facilities for superintendance— air object of the 44 UTMOST IMPORTANCE in alt cases- where severe tc physical or surgical assistance is uecessary." The above extract from* the minutes ofthe Commit- tee must strike every unprejudiced mind- in the most forcible manner. The substance of the opinion therein recorded, thoug- H unanimous,, was- obtained, I; believe, by a member of the Committee personally waiting upon every Medical Gentleman belonging to the Institution.— No pains, no trouble, M*> enquiries, nor any exertion was spared by the highly respectable Noblemen and Gentlemen who compose the Com- mittee, to obtain sueh information as would lead them to the most, correct and judicious conclusion before they drew up their Report.—- That Report- recommends, a « I said in my former letter, " The Erection of a NEW INFIRMARY upon the PRESENT SCITK and I sincerely hope that the Trustees will shew their respect for the zeal and anxiety the Committee have displayed-, by adopting their recommendation. The 44 Trustee" thinks he perceives tf the revival of strife," and says, 44 it should never be allowed to enter into, much less be mixed up with this- great question." I admit the truth of his remark ; but, Sir, so intimately acquainted as he would appear to be with the town, and with' every publie transaction which takes place within it, he cannot but be aware of the struggle which so recently took place relative to the dissolution of the House of Industry ; nor can he help knowing how very strongly the feelings of the partizans for and against such dissolution were excited upon that occasion : and knowing that, as also th active part the projector and his coadjutor took upon that occasion, if there be any 44 revival of strife, 11 he must, lav the fault upon those who revive the subject o" it. With all his Christian candour, he cannot expect that, because one party were prevented breakin. that Establishment solely bv the exertions of another party, in which were comprized many of the most respectable individuals in and about the town, that the latter are now to; sit tamely by, and see some of their former most determined opponents endeavour to render nugatory their exertions, and to acquire, by a different manoeuvre, that object which they could not obtain before. I can assure him and , them, that the same respectable individuals will not slumber at their posts — they will oppose any attempt to break up the House of ludustry, or divert it from its present pur- pose. Under the new Act of Parliament the Directors and Guardians have NO POWHR TO SELL THE HOUSE OF INDUSTRY ITSELP. SO that if it even were a desirable spot for the purpose, of an Infirmary, which it clearly is not, anew Act must be obtained, the very attempt at which would call into action all those acrimonious feelings which the former attempt gave birth to. To this, I am sure, no sanction will be given by the Trustees of the Infirmary : they will look solely to the prosperity of the Institution, and not suffer its interests to be mingled with any thing likely to arouse party feelings, which cannot be otherwise than injurious. In conclusion, I cannot but w ish, for the sake of the 44 Trustee" himself, that he had omitted one passage iu his letter; for, attempt to disguise himself as he may, it is but right he should be informed, there is a peculiarity of style in his writing and his speaking, not to be met with in that of any other Trustee— a style peculiarly bis own, and which points him out, even to a common observer, as clearly as the magnetic needle does the Pole. I rematn, Sir, your's, & c. OCR. 9, 1826. W. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, Having perused the Report of your Infirmary Com- mittee, respecting the intended alterations there ; I feel, I own, wholly unequal to judge upon the subject. Yet I cannot for a moment withhold my full and unqualified approbation of the plan, when, I consider the very high respectability and intelligence of its members, their unwearied pains in collecting from every quarter the necessary foundation^ stones for nformation, and, above all the rest, their disinterested decision, so directly opposite to all ideas of. pa I try and ineffective patchwork. Nor could'I have conceived it possible that any one, however cross- grained in habits or disposition, Within or without the limits of your once more United Parishes, would offer the least objection. But there, it would seem^ exists one self- willed individual, whose iron hand would beat down again your late reviving concord $ while his faithful commentator, of feudful fame, in his eagerness to escape the proverbial reproach of 44 how we apples swim," seems anxious to- display the crab*, in bis composition. A Correspondent, indeed, in your Journal, has so clearly and satisfactorily exposed the absurd eccentricities of this 44 par nobile fratrum," that I should not have thought of troubling you on the present occasion, were it not to add one or two arguments more, which he has unaccountably omitted, but which I deem of vital importance. Let it be supposed, but for a single moment, that the present attending Faculty would cheerfully submit to increase their gratuitous exertions in a fourfold ratio, at the risk of losing all their health, and half of their just remunerations; is it within the bounds of possibility that their present numbers could perform even the mere necessary attentions to such an extended circle of patients, when removed to a distant, bleakly and steeply situated Hospital ? Much less could they continue to pay those uncalled for and unpreseribing visits, which 1 have myself not unfrequently w itnessed, and marked with painful pleasure the faint but heart, prung smiles, that gleamed on each shrunken cheek n gratitude for these last kind boons that. Charity could bestow. To attempt them now would be Charity run mad; and, instead of beginning at home, she could never reach it at all. The cable of Benevolence is certainly a strong one; but if drawn too tight, it may yet be torn asunder, and down goes the good ship, for whom we are all so anxious. Our proponents, however, would soon set all to rights, by inviting a fresh cargo of M. D.' s, & c. & c. from the new London University, or from the Lord knows where; which would have at least one notable effect— of confirming the good old adage, 44 The more the merrier, but the fewer the better fare." To be more serious, Sir, if the Faculty are really blest with frames of adamant, and minds that can work miracles, are the poor miser- able objects of tbeir intended care, with fractured skulls or dislocated limbs, to be dragged and jolted up an appalling steep to their place of refuge, not only insulated from the town, but peculiarly remote from every road, by which accidents might be expect- ed to arrive ? And what are we to think of the no less miserable unfortunates on the outer list, who, enfeebled with age, disease, or penury, or perhaps with all three at once, are doomed to aggravate the fatigues of au already exhausting journey by the addition of two tedious uneven miles, ere they can receive their dole of advice and medicine? But for this also, ( there being a remedy for every thing but death,) our inge- nious contrivers have capitally provided, by cutting short at once both time and space, distance « and declivity, by a Cast- Iron Bridge, hung airily over the Quarry, and reaching to the very portal of the wished- for goal . f The idea is certainly of an exalted stamp, and might produce incalculable benefits. Thus, on its 44 fhing footpath," as once proposed for your English Bridge, convalescents might bask, and breathe a far freshep current of pure air over the run- ning stream than on the dead flat above. It might also, in some measure, answer the purpose of a swing, of late so fashionable in pulmonary complaints. But the 44 crowning glory" of all would be the ample Receipts of Interest to repay the Debts incurred^ by the prodigious resort of economising Cockney tourists, who would content themselves with admiring the 4 Little Suspension Bridge over tbe Little Menai at Shrewsbury, 1 without venturing through the wilds of Wales, to behold its elder and more gigantic Sister in Anglesey. Two difficulties only remain— Tbe unwil- lingness of the above- mentioned Gentleman, with all his well- known patriotism and liberality, to pull down his own house for a more ample approach; and of your Body Corporate to exchange their choir- seeming avenue of venerable Limes for what they might taste- lessly deem a gimcrack tawdrj Sign- Post, announcing the Builder's Trade.

Bachelor of Arts, of Christ Church, Oxford, and of Ateham, in this county, and John Mort Wakefield, Bachelor of Arts, of St. John's College, Cambridge, were ordained Deacons. Tbe Philharmonic Society of this town held their first Public Concert for this Season, last night, in the Town Hall, where there was a numerous and most respectable company. WHITEHALL, SEPT. 18TII, 1826.— The King has been pleased to give and grant unto George Berke- ley, of Caynham Court, in the County of Salop, Esquire, Captain ( on half- pay) in the */ th Regiment of Foot, or Royal Fnsileers, fourth son of the Rev. Rowland Berkeley, late of Writtle, in the County of Essexj Clerk, Doctor of Laws, deceased, His Royal Licence and authority, that he, the said George Berkeley, and his issue, may, in compliance with a request contained in the last Will and Testament of his late Aunt, Jane CaIcott, of Caynham Court aforesaid, Widow, relict of the Rev. William Calcott, formerly of the same place, Clerk, deceased, and « in testimony of his grateful and affectionate respect for her memory, take and use the Surname of Calcott, in addition to and after that of Berkeley, and also to bear the Arms of Calcott, such Arms being first duly exemplified, according to the Laws of Arms, and recorded in the Heralds' Office, other- wise the said licence and permission to be void and of none effect, and also to command, that the said Royal concession and declaration be registered in His Majesty's College of Arms. On the 2d inst. Thomas Medlicott, Esq. was sworn into the office of Bailiff of the Borough of Bishop's Castle.— Same day, Mr. Bright, the retiring Bailiff, entertained a numerous party at the Castle Inn, where an excellent dinner, & c. was provided.— Among the company were Wriliiam Holmes and Edward Rogers, Esqrs. the two Representatives of the Borough.— We need scarcely add, the evening was spent in the: most convivial manner. The Catholic Chapel in this town was re- opened on Wednesday last, by the Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, V. A. The morning service consisted chiefly of a Pontifical Lligh Mass, with a Sermon from Chron. v. by the Rev. J. Abbot. In the afternoon a Discourse from 1 Peter, ii. 12, was addressed to the Catholics present, by the Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, exhorting them to bear with patience and charity the unfounded charges that are made against them, and to prove the falsity of them by their upright and edifying conduct. The collection^ we are informed, amounted to £ 44. 13s. 9d.— We cannot omit this opportunity of paying a well- merited compliment to our highly- talented townsman, Mr. J. Carline, for the taste he has displayed in the embellishment of the Chapel. The ceiling in particular reflects the highest credit on his taste and judgment, and the chapel altogether is well worthy the high approbation it has received from all who have seen it. A large crucifix is placed over the altar, beautifully executed by Mr. T. Car- line : we understand it is the intention of the artist, who has already produced many specimens of rising merit, to place a cast from it in the next Royal Ex- hibition at Somerset House. The front paunel ofthe altar is occupied by a copy from Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. It is yet in an unfinished state, but when finished, we anticipate that it will add to the high reputation of Mr. Corbet's pencil.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, I have read a Letter in the Friday's Paper, signed " a Trustee;" but really, if it bad not been so de- signated, and placed by the Editor under a'titulary superscription, I should have considered it a mere romance, or nightly vision, with Architects, and Plans of Churches, Squares, and Terraces in the Air— as the product of an over- heated imagination, rather than the deductions of a sound and sane mind, the chief and most polished ornament of an individual in so responsible and distinguished a situation. But, as a man is known by his reasoning, so, from the many and powerful quotations introduced from Holy Writ, ( which shine like so many rays of light upon a cob- web,) it way be conjectured this 44 Trustee" of the Salop Infirmary is also * 4 a Trustee" for souls ; and therefore, through the medium of your Journal, shall take upon me to advise him " not to plow with an ox and an ass," 4< not to wear a garment of divers sorts," 44 not to sow his vineyard with divers seeds," li not to seeth a kid in his mother's milk ;"— if he is in 44 the unity of the faith," which he so conscientiously advises others to cherish and improve— ft to lay judg- ment to his line," 44 prudence to Iiis paths/ 1: 4< lto Set a watch uponhis mouth," and to build no more H with unteinpered mortar,"— knowing that the right use of human intellect is reason, and the abuse thereof folly and indiscretion, which neither, the present age nor posterity, one or other, will be apt to admire. So much for this third design. I have the pleasure to subscribe myself, with defer* ence and respect, Your most obedient servant, cms- On Friday afternoon, a man named WVliam Timp- sonf residing in a court in Park street, Birmingham, presented himself at the prison there, and stated lhat he had murdered his wife. Upon further inquiry, the officers were induced to proceed to his house, where, upon opening the door, they found his state- ment hut too strictly verified, as ihe poor woman lay in the kitchen with her head nearly severed from her body. A large clasp knife with which Timpson stated he had committed the act, lay by her side. On being questioned, he said that he had no enmity towards his wife, and could not account for bis having been actuated to commit the horrid deed. An inquest was held on the body on Saturday last, aud the chief evidence was the confession of ihe wretched man himself. No suspicion existed among his neighbours of the transaction, and no disturbance - or noise was remarked by them, although the court in which the prisoner and his wife lived is closely inhabited. A verdict of wilful murder was returned against him, and he stands committed to take his trial. T. HUMPHREYS INFORMS fris Friends ami the Public, that he has < m SAI.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 9. A considerable quantity of New Wheat remaining over from last week, which, from its inferior quality, could not be got off, and the supply fresh in this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, being rather large, together with the expected decline in the price of Flour, caused a great dullness in the trade, particularly asth arrival of Flour from the Coast amounts to 16,399 sacks, The few sales made of Wheat to- day, were confined to the finest samples, and for those an abatement of from Is. to 2s. per quarter was obliged to be submitted to, Whilst all other descriptions were ineffectually offered at the same reduction. Fine malting Barley supports the prices of last Monday, but such as the Maltsters would not purchase, at Is. per quarter lower. Beans are from 2s. to 3 « . per quarter dearer.

In his journey from Newtown, on the new line, to Builth, his Lordship declared himself much pleased with the skill and ability with which the road was planned and constructed, and the finely wooded country through which a great part of it passed. On the 22d ult.: that distinguished regiment, the 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers, under the command of . Major Ross* returned to their depot at Brecon Bar- racks, wllicfi* hy reccn. t alterations and improvements, has been rendered one of the most commodious in the kingdom. The Right Rev. Reginald, Lord Bishop of Calcutta, was the second soil of the Rev. Reginald Ht ber, of Marton Hall, York. Reginald, the late Bishop ( whose loss to India is irreparable, and w'hos. eeminence, not only in » hcolog* y, but in every fine art, and branch of literature, was universally acknowledged,) was sent, at the usual age, to Oxford. He was first at Brasenose College, vrheiice he was elected a Fellow of All Souls. Pre- vious to this, lie paid a visit to Russia, iu Company with Mr. Thornton. The journal of his travels in that country, from which copious extracts are given in Dr. Clarke's great work, with a compliment from that traveller, evince a remarkable talent for observation • tan early age, for he could have been liitle more than seventeen. In 1801 he gained the Chancellor's prize at the University t> y his " Carmen Secuta're,*' 7"' a verv spirited and classical specimen Of Latin verse. In 1803, his talents were displayed to still gfeaier advantage in his Celebrated poem of " Palestine," which gained tlie prize for English verse. His father, Mr. Reginald lleber, was present in the theatre,- and had the felicity of witnessing the great, triumph of h^ s son, when only nineteen years of age. It seemed as if his life had been reserved . until this sure pledge of his son's future eminence; for imme- diately upon his return home, he was seized with a dangerous malady, under which he lingered, with intervals of remi.- s on, until the month of January, 1804, when, in the 76th year of his age, he closed an exemplary life in the most exemplary manner, ex- horting his children to the Jast to continue steadfast in religion, and to put their trust in God and their Saviour. In 1805, young Heber produced an English essay, 4< The Sense of Honour;" and in 1808 he took the de- gree of M. A. In 1809 he published a poem ' entitled ^ Europe, Lines on the present War," which met with great approbation. In the same year, he published his" Palestine," to which lie added " Tlie Passage of the Red Seai,' a Fragment," a piece displaying: great boldness of conception and vigour of execution. Soon after this lie relinquished his fellowship and married ; his patrimonial preferment, the rectory of Hodnet, being of sufficient value to render a depend- ence upon college preferment unnecessary. In 1812 he published a small volume of poems and trans- lations; and in 1815 lie was chosen to deliver the Bampton Lectures before the University of Oxford; an office which he discharged with great ability. The lectures, conformably to the directions of the founder, were published the ensuing year, under the following title : " The Personality and Office of the Christian Comforter asserted and explained, in a Coiirse of Sermons on John, xvi. 7." This was his first appear- ance in the character ofa theological writer, iu which he did not disappoint the sanguine expectations formed from his juvenile talents in poetry. The Quarterly Reviewers, speaking of these sermons, say —" His conception is, in our judgment, strong, his imagin- ation fertile, his expression nervous, and his general style well sustained. They are highly creditable to" the talents and learning of Mr. Heber." In 1822 an edition of the works of Jeremy Taylor appeared, to which was prefixed a life of the Bishop, written by Mr. Heber, which is highly commended by Mr. Dibdin, as < fc a charming and instructive piece of biography." It was separately published soon after- wards, accompanied by a critical examination " ' Bishop's writings. In May 1822, Mr. Hebe, chosen preacher at Lincoln's Inn. Upon the death of Dr. Middleton, the bishopric of Calcutta was offered to Mr. Heber, who, although in possession of clerical preferment of nearly equal re- venue to that of the see, and justified in indulging sanguine hopes of advancement in England, if am- bition had been his object, consented to sacrifice his comforts and his expectations, in order to make his talents useful, for a toilsome life in a distant and un- healthy clime. He was appointed td the vacant see 14th May, 1823, and arrived at Calcutta the lltli October following. The University of Oxford con- ferred upon him the degree of D. D. by diploma, in June. The confidence inspired by a knowledge of the new Bishop's learning, talents, and activity, caused this appointment fo be hailed as a most auspicious event by the Christian world at large. His intention to devote himself wholly and fervently to tbe establish- ment of the Christian religion, by every prudent means, was explicitly declared in his addresses, pre- vious to his departure, to ihe various societies in England engaged in the work of conversion. The ardent hope, which he expressed to the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, that he might be a useful instrument in the propagation of our religion, will not be forgotten, nor the zeal with which he declared he looked forward to 44 ihe time when he should be enabled to preach to the natives of India in their own languag- e." His first charge at his visita- tion, on the 27th May, 1824, abundantly proved the right spirit in which he entered upori his omee. To detail the expeditious manner in which his Lordship redeemed the pledge he gave previous to his departure, to describe the judicious and prudent niau- ner in which he exercised his high ecclesiastical jurisdiction throughout the extensive territories which compose his diocese, to specify the long* and laborious journies he performed from one side of the vast Indian peninsula to the other, including the island of Ceylon, performing at each station the active duties Of an apostolical bishop, would be a superfluous waste of our readers' time. The following, however, is a passage in the last report of the Society for the Pro- pagation of the Gospel, read before the Archbishop of Canterbury, several bishops, noblemen, clergymen, and gentry, in May last :—" The, efforts of ( lie Society in India have received a powerful impulse from the cordial co- operation of that eminently pious and learned prelate, who now presides over the church of India. His vigorous and active, mind is anxiously directed to the general advancement of religion in his diocese ; but in the concerns of this Society lie has at all times evinced a peculiar interest and zeal." It is needless for us to add, after what we have stated, that the loss sustained by those who have at heart the success of missionary exertions in India, is, through the death of Bishop Heber, great indeed The sensation which the event has produced in the public n'jind throughout India, including members of government as well as private individuals, natives as well as Europeans^ and the very Mattering tribut already paid to his meiiiory there, evince the value set upon his character in that country. From the testimonials just referred to, we cannot refrain from extracting the succeeding passage fro the eloquent and powerful speech of Sii* Charles Grey, the chief justice of Bengal, delivered at a meeting held at the Town Hall of Calcutta, on the 6th May last; the sentiments are valuable,, not Only because of the high authority they emanate from, but on another consideration j the speaker was an early friend of the bishop, and intimately acquainted with hrs character, s< Deep as my sense is of the loss which the com- munity has sustained, yet do what I will, the sensation which I find uppermost in my heart is my own private sorrow for one who was my friend in early life. It is just four- and- twenty years this month since I fi became acquainted with In tn at the University, of which he was, beyond all question or comparison, the most distinguished student of his time; The name of Regi- nald lleber was in every mouth, his society was courted by yonngf and old ; he lived in an atmosphere of favour, admiration, and regard, from which I have never knovini any one but himself who would not have derived, and for life, an unsalutary influence. To wards the close of his academical career he crowned his previous honours by tluvproduction ofhis * Pales- tine ;' of which single work ofthe fancy, the elegance and the grace have secured him a place in the list of those who bear the proud title of English poets. This, according to usage, was recited in public; and when that scene ofhis early triumph coifrea upon my memory, that elevated rostrum from whicli he looked upon friendly and admiring fnces ; that decorated theatre ; those grave forms of ecclesiastical dignitaries, min- gling with a resplendent throng of rank and beauty ; those antique mansions of learning, those venerable groves, those refreshing streams and shaded walks; the vision is broken by another, in which the youthful and presiding genius of the former scene is'beheld, lying m his distant grave, amongst t sands of Southern India; believe me, the '. contrast is striking and the recollections most painful. But you are uot here to listen to details of private ife ; if I touch upon one or two other points, it will be for the purpose only of illustrating some features of his character. He passed some time iu foreign travel before he entered on ihe duties of his profession The vyhole continent had not yet been re- opened to Eng- lishmen by the swords of the Noble Lord who is near me, and his companions inarms; but in the eastern art of it the bishop found a field more interesting account of its. having been seldom trodden bv ll is understood that the pursuit of a north- west passage has been for the present laid aside; and that the joint expedition, upon which Captains Parry and Franklin are about to embark, is to be directed to the North Pole, a point which these able and eutcrprisin 1 travellers confidently expect to reach, on our countrymen ; he kep't a valuable journal of his obser- vations, and when you consider his yorith, the ap- plause he had already received, andhi/ w tempting, in the morning of life, are the gratifications of literary success, you will consider it as mark of tiie retiring- and ingenuous modesty of his character, that he prel ferred to let the substance of his work appear in the humble form of notes to the volumes of another: this has been before noticed : there is another circumstance which.-! can add, and which is not. so generally known. This journey, and the aspect of those vast regions, stimulating a mind which was stored with classical learning, had . suggested to him a plan of collecting; arranging, and illustrating- all of ancient and of modern literature, which could unfold the history, and throw light on the present state of Sevfhia; that rc- ion of mystery and lable ; that source from w hence, " eleven tunes in the history of man, the living clouds of war have been breathed overall llie nations of the south. I ean hardly conceive any work for which the talents1 ot the author were hotter adapted, hardly any which', could have given the world more delight,'. himself more glory ; f know' the interest which ire took in it. Bill lie had now entered into the service of tbe church ' nnd findi ng that il interfered Willi bis graver duties* be turiied from his fascinating pursuit, aiid condemned to temporary oblivion a work which 1 trust mav yet be " iveu to the public,. • " I mention this chiefly for the purpose of showing how steady was the purpose, how serious the views* wnb which lie entered on his calling. I am aware that there were inducements' to it, which some minds will be disposed to regard as only pro'bable ones ; but I look upon it lityself t. o have beeii with him a sacrifice of no common sort. His early, celebrity had given hint incalculable advantages, and overv path of literature was open to him, every road to the tenVple of fame" every honour which his country could afford, was in clear prospect before, liiiij, when he turned to the humble duties of a country church; and buried iu his' heart those talents which would have ministered so largely to worldly Vanity, that they might spring up! in 11 more precious burveii. lie passed many years iii this situation, in Ihe enjoyment of as much happiness as the condition of humanity is perhaps capable of. Happy iu the choice of his companion, fhe love of hi2 friends, the fond admiration of his family— happy in the discharge of his quiet duties and the tranquillity of a satisfied conscience. It was uot, however, from this station that he was called to India. By the voicej am proud td say it, of a part of that profession to which I have the honour to belong, he bad been in- i viteil to an office which few have held for any length of time without further advancement. His frienils thought it at that time no presumption to hope, that ere long he might wear the mitre at home. Brit it would not have been like himself to chaffer for pre- ferment: he fieely and willingly accepted a call which led him to more important, though more duii- gerons, alas, I may now say, to fatal labours." His Lordship had recommenced his journeys info the distant parts of bis diocese. He' arrived at Tanjore ou the 25th of Marcli. Each day till that of his'de- parture was devoted to some public office connected with his ecclesiastical functions: on the " veiling of the 26th ( Easter Sunday), his Lordship gratified the native congregation, at the mission chapel of l'anjore, by pronouncing the benediction iu the Tainul lan- guage. On tfie 3fst of March be left Tanjore, and arrived at Triehiiinpoly tbe 1st of April ; and on the next day ( Sunday) be preached twice. On Monday, April 3d, he visited a congregation of native christians. Tliii day, and the day previous, he complained of head- ache, and was unusually drowsy; but no Serious ap. prehensions were entertained by himself or hiafricildsj On his return from bis visit he entered a bath, as he had been accustonied ; lie was soon after seized with apoplexy, and expired in tbe water. The examination of the bead after death showed that the vessels were turgid. His age was 42. The mental character of the BishO'p combined qualii ties not often found hi unison. He possessed liveliness and solidity, imagination and judgment. At the outset ofhis literary career he was reproached. with treating serious subjects in a style approaching ton much to the poetical. His inaturer writings prove how well his reflection had corrected this error. AU though his capacity for poetry,, and the success he acquired in this department of literature, justify a belief that he had a penchant for the cultivation of it, yet tiis serioiis concerns seeui to have absorbed bis whole miud, and to have left no rooirl for attention tu that or other studies unconnected with his episcopal duties. Of his Lordship's poetical talents', we cannn't per., haps afford a more elegant specimen than the following lines, which are inscribed on the monument of a child in East- Bourne Church. Tbey are translated from a beautiful Greek llyinn of Synesius, Bishop of Cyreue : — " Grant me. released from matter's chain, To seek, O Goil, thy home again ; WiUiin t. liy bosom to repose, Fr. Ci whence the stream of Spirit flows I A dew- drop of celestial birth ; P. ehold me split ou nether earth; Then give me to that parent well; From which this Hitting vranderst fell 1" Mr. W. Whitmore, M. P. for Bridgnorth, has pub- lished a letter to his constituents on the subject of the Corn Laws, in which he proposes the following scale of duties: When wheflt is at or under 40s....... 25s. duty. From 40s. to 45s 20s. From 45s. to 50s. .„.. 15s. From 50s. to 55s 10s. and adds, that oil the price rising to 65rs. the duty should be reduced to 5s. and on its rising to 70s. should cease altogether. Mr. YVhitmore says, in favour of his plan, that it would give us the ex- perience of the effect of a trade in foreign corn. " If," he observes, " it were found, as I am strongly inclined to believe would be the ease, that under this system the higher duties would never be de- manded, on account of the price being at or above 55s. and that 10s. became the duty payable at all times, except those of unusual deficiency, it would establish the fact, now so much controverted by the agriculturists, that a duty of 10s. would be au efficient protection to their interest, and that fact once established by experience, the legislature would be enabled to alter the law upon that founda- tion, and to do away with the high duties, which would be, as the high duty of 24s. 3d. formerly was, a mere dead letter. If, on the contrary, it were found, as is fur from being impossible, that a duty to the amount of 10s, had a tendency to raise the price beyond the average of 53s. there would be ail equal facility in lowering it,"— An extract from Mr. Whittnore's letter will be found in our 4th page.

Drayton- in- Hales. exceeded tbe demand, because in that way only can I see tbe possibility ofthe object being attained. The distress of the period I have alluded to was, if not producer', fearfully aggravated by the system established by that law; and if it be allowed to continue in existence, it is, I think, obvious, we shall again, at tip distant period, be exposed to a similar calamity. The state doctors have, in truth, thrown their patient, the agriculturist, into a state much resembling an ague, subject to hot and cold fits, and, in mockery, they miscall it protection— a fatal misnomer, which, carrying* with it, as it does, the force of an argument, lias done more mischief to the world than any other single word ever used. Protection, forsooth! Can that be protection which stripsthe industrious farmer of his hard- earned capi- tal ? Can that be protection which exposesthe massof tha people to famine ? Can that be a beneficial sys- tem, which deranges the trride of the whole w orld, nnd exposes to hazard the wealth, the power, the importance in the scale of nations of this, with all its faults, the most virtuous and the most blessed of any country in existence? But I have said this abortive attempt at monopoly is more injurious in the corn trade than in any other. It is so, because corn is itself iu a great measure tbe regulator of its own cost; a high price of corn leads to high rents, high tithes, high rate of labour, high poor- rates; it demands more capital to stock a farm. All the various charges incurred by the farmer are, as all farmers know, augmented by the price of corn continuing high for a period of two or three consecutive years. This extra expense has been incurred previous to the fall in price occurring consequent upon au abundant harvest; it cannot be checked at once— and even if it could, there is nothing wherewith to indemnify the farmer for the money already expended in producing his crops. He calculated upon a continuance of high prices; his agreements of various kinds were contingent upon it; they are binding upon him, though tire data noon which he entered into them are totally' changed. The consequence of which is, that one season of agricultural distress sweeps off numbers of the poorer farmers, and that if it continue beyond that period, as it most commonly does when it once begins, the whole farming body feel it most severely. It cannot be too often repeated, that g- reat fluctuations in price are injurious to no iuterest more than to the agricultural.— A monopoly in any other article, if it fail, is productive of injury to the persons engaged in its production; but they have the power of controul; they can cease to produce until the excess is worked off; nor does the high or low price of the produce affect, as in the case of the farmer, the price of labour and the other charges incident to such production. If a manufacturer of cloth or hats possess a monopoly of any given markets, and that, owing, either to competition or false calculation, the market is overstocked, all he has to do is to limit his manufacture until the excess is worked oft', and prices have attained their former level. But the farmer cannot do this, or at least he cannot do it with any thing iike the same facility; his produce pends upon seasons, over which he has 110 controu!; his capita! must be employed ; it consists in part of iivo stock, which must be fed whether they tend to further production or not. He has engagements to meet, which necessitate a prodace, however low it may be sold, and the first effect of a change from low to high price, is a greater and not a lessened growth of grain. It is in this way the poor farmer tries to meet his engagements; he finds himself on the brink of ruin; he disregards the common maxims of prudence, and he breaks through all his covenants to save himself and his family from being precipitated from the respectable sta'ion of an linglish fanner into the class below him, if not into the abject condition of a pauper." have been satisfied with homely fare and moderate profits, in your prosperity you did not insult, ami iu your adversity you did not threaten and rebel.

[ BY THE CORN LAWS. THE AGRICULTURAL QliESTIOW. [ From Mr. Wolryche Whitmore's " Letter to the Electors of Bridgnorth."] " It is thus clear, that the present system, which consists of prohibition to import foreign corn, exccpt at prices rarely obtained, and which may, in truth, be considered as those of scarcity, is an innovation upon the former system of our corn law. It remains to be seen how far this innovation is Ot- is not a beneficial one. But first let us pause, and consider whether there ever was a period in the history of this or any ' other country exhibiting a greater degree of prosperity than Great Britain enjoyed during the 42 years I have mentioned. When has capital so increased?— When have manu- factures so multiplied?— When has a revenue, and a revenue, too, paid with equal ease to the people, been so augmented?— When have works of art, roads, bridges, canals, harbours, been constructed with equal facility?— When has military glory and political ascendancy been carried to so high a pitch?— And when, ( and this is perhaps the main point in the present inquiry,) when has agriculture flourished to a similar extent ?— Look at the wastes enclosed— at the draining effected— consider tbe vast improvements which have taken place in hus- bandry, and calculate the prodigious augmentation of rents, and then say, whether or not this was a period of great and national prosperity. I wish not to carry my argument too far, and I will admit that an impediment to import corn arose in, the later years of the late war, from its extent and its peculiar features. I will admit, that this, and the variations of tbe currency, will explain, in some measure, the high price of agricultural produce, and the conse- quent high rents: but, making every deduction on these heads, I am clearly of opinion that the period 1 have named was one of great agricultural pro- sperity, and this prosperity was in no measure Owing to the laws respecting the admission of foreign corn: it sprung from that source from whence alone real agricultural prosperity can spring, namely, the healthy and prosperous state of the other interests of the country— from increasing capital and augmenting population. But it is time to consider the effects of the present law. The principle of the law passed in 1815 was, that all intercourse with foreign countries in grain should cease, unless the prices rose so high as to evince the necessity of foreign supply; that the trade in corn should uot be, as it had been heretofore, tbe rulf, but the exception; that the home demand should, except in extraordinary cases, be supplied by the home produce. Now, this it had been found could only be accomplished by the existence of high prices; and, notwithstanding the parade of patriot- ism then put forth by the advocates of this system, it was obvious that high prices and high rents were the objects sought to be obtained by this law. Never, perhaps, in an enlightened country, was an order of things established more at variance with common sense and sound policy than the one intro- duced by this law. It established a monopoly, but failed in producing that essential ingredient of all monopolies, a limitation of quantity of the article monopolized— au omission which would be utterly . destructive of any monopoly, but which, as 1 shall endeavour to shew, was pre- eminently absurd and vicious in the commerce of grain. Practical men will surely allow tbe necessity of such^ iniitation, Tbe object of monopoly is to raise the price of a civen article beyond the rate at which it would be . sold without it. Price, however, is regulated by the demand and the supply. It is obvious that, in order to renlize your object, you must uot allow the supply to exceed the demand; if you do, no law you can pass will be cffcctual for its accom- plishment. Priccs must fall; and it has been proved, that a very trifling excess of the supply- over the demand will effect it. I say practical men cannot but accede to the truth of this obvious pro- position, and it is always acted upon. The Dutch merchants destroyed a portion of the spices grown in the Eastern Archipelago, in order to secure to themselves tbe advantage of the monopoly they possessed in this article. The fishmongers of Lon- don have often pursued the same course. At the period of agricultural distress in 1821 or 1822, a proposition was made at one of the county meetings held generally at that period, to destroy, in some - way or other, a portion of the surplus produce then in the farmers' bands. 1 have 110 recollection bow this was proposed to be accomplished, and I cannot be supposed au advocate for so singular a proceed- ing ; but 1 have no hesitation in saying, that if it had been possible, it was a more sensible proposi- tion than those commonly adopted at such meetings — more sensible, at least, if the monopoly system was to be preserved. If I were an advocate for ils continuance, I should be most anxious to see a burning clause added to the law, that should con- sign to the flames the excess, when the supply A letter just published by tbe Rev. James Roberts, of Wilheily House, Warwickshire, contains the fol lowing remarks :— We all know, and we all lament the misery which the operatives have lately undergone, but it is not cheap bread Ihat will suddenly and effectually transfer them from a slate of abject poverty to a stale- of comparative wealth. Corn is as cheap now as ever it can be grown in this country, under existing circumstances. In every argument of this kind, people entirely forget the grea! advantages which commerce derives from home consumption, perhaps amounting to two- thirds of the whole; ihey do not consider the many millions thai are spen tradesmen's shops, at fairs, and market days, and at 01 her limes, in every part of Ihe kingdom ; and tha three classes of persons, viz. the manufacturer, Ihe middle man or factor, ami Ihe relailer, all receive their profits from the money so spent, is this nothing Ihe plain fact is, that Ihe commercial aud agriculture interests should go hand in hand, for in Ibis country they must stand or fall together. Each should receive a fair remunerating price for their capita employed, and for their labour, affording lo Ihe landowner such a rent as will enable him lo live in that situation of life in which his properly places him. To lalk therefore of cheap bread, in a country taxed and burdened with payments as this is, is a wild chimera! And to lell ihe trading community that their privations and distresses originate from " the oppression of the agriculturist, 1' which has heen done, is an assertion unfounded iu fact, unjust in principle, anil malignant in ils intention; il is lan- guage only fit for Ihe cant of Ihe hypocrite, or the fury of lire demagogue. And in confirmation of this opinion, I shall now state the language of Ihat great and eminent statesman, Mr. Burke, w hich so closely applies to the present limes, that it seems almost to have been intended for Ihem, when he says, " 11 is a perilous thing lo try experiments on the farmer, ihat may, even iu one year of false policy, do mischiefs incalculable, because the trade of a farmer is oue of the most precarious in ils advantages, the most liable lo losses, and the least profitable oi any that is carried on. The cry of the people in cities and towns, though unfortunately ( from a fear of their multitude and combination) the most regarded, ought, in fact, to be the least attended to on this subject ; for citizens are in a slate of utter ignorance of Ihe means hy which Ihey are to he fed, aud they contribute little or no- thing, except in an iufinilively circuitous manner, to their own maintenance, they are truly ' Fuges Con- snmere Nati? They arc to be beard with great respect anil attention upon matters within their pro vince, that is iu trades and inanufactuiis, but on any thing that relates to agriculture ihey are to be listened to with the same deference which we pay to Ihe dogmas of oilier ignorant and presumptuous men." And in order lo shew Ihe opinion of other great statesmen on this subject, anil to exemplify con- sistency of conduct, I shall make a few quotations from the speeches of my Lord Liverpool and Mr. Huskisson. And first Mr. Huskisson, the Political Economist, who, iu a spetch, February 23, 1815, says, 11 The capital of tile agriculturist is so amalga- mated wilh Ihe general improvement of the land, in draining, embanking, & c. that it is impossible to withdraw il, as might be done in commercial specu- lations, The capital, therefore, so invested, would be wealth thrown away." Again, March 10th, 1815, " Nothing can he more delusive than Ihe opinion, that cheap provisions were always a benefit; 011 Ihe con- trary, cheapness, without a demand for labour, is a symptom of distress. He maintained, that unless the Corn Bill were adopted, Ihe people of Ihis conn- try would, ere long, be compelled lo eat, foreign bread, and lo eat il at a dear price." Noiv, my Lord Liverpool, who, in the House of Lords, 011 the 13th of March, 1815, says, 14 1 do not mean lo undervalue our commerce or manufactures, but when put in competition with the immense resources lo be derived from the certainty of a domestic supply of Ihe first necessities of life, they are completely trifling." Again, in 1820, " there ought to he 110 more change in the policy of the Corn. Laws, than in the present system of currency." In May, 1820, " Il is utterly impossible, w ilh onr debt and taxation, even if Ihey were but half their present amount, that we can sud denly adopt the system of free trade ; to do so would he to unhinge ihe whole property of the couniry, to make a change in fhe value of every man's posses sions." 1 shall nmv only offer a short observation for the consideration of the landowners and yeomanry of ibis county; to ihe former it would be presumption in me lo say more llian just to ask, if the time is not now arrived when lo remain longer passive and in- active, is not prejudicial lo Iheir welfare and injurious to their property ? lo Ihe. latter 1 shall say, you are now living in perilous times, you have been uniformly quiet cultivators of ihe land, useful anil peaceable subjects, you have come forth in bodies to support Ihe King's Throne and Ihe people's property yon A CORRESPONDENT OF THE CHELTENHAM CHRONICLE.] Iam positively convinced, if the facts connected with a free importation of corn into this country were calmly considered,— if ihe results of such a proceeding were viewed with unbiassed, unpreju- diced minds,— they must strike every contemplative man with horror. Calamitous, indeed, will be the consequences which mnst inevitably ensue. The poor, too, above all, will be the sufferers; for the means, with which they are supported, are levied almost entirely on landed property, by that tax, denominated poor rates, to defray which a free importation of corn will render the occupiers of land totally incapacitated. Nor would the diminu- tion in the price of corn, consequent upon importa- tion, lessen the amount of this tax, as might at first sight be expected, but materially increase it, for it would throw out of cultivation all those lands which do not reach a certain degree of fertilization, because the farmer, burthened as be is by taxes, & e. & c. cannot raise produce from them sufficiently cheap to compete with those in countries where no such outgoings and burthens are known. To talk, as some of the wiseacres do, about the rapacity of landed proprietors, their high rents, & c.& c. is absurd, and only the result of erroneous judgment and blind partiality. Tbe actual return, for the investment of their capital, owing to diminished rents, at once contradicts the assertion. What will be the result of this impossibility of cultivation of a very considerable portion of the land of this king- dom, and a very considerable portion it will be? First, that we diminish the means of general national support; secondly, that a vast number of labourers will find 110 employment, become paupers, and must be subsisted on the superior description of land ; and lastly, that we must be dependent on foreign supplies!! What! is England, the boast of its inhabitants! the dread of nations! and the admira- tion of the world ! to become dependent 011 distant sources for food? God forbid! The impolicy of the measure is so glaring, the consequences so ruin- ous, that it will find few advocates, except those whose whole souls are absorbed in commercial extension, arid whose thoughts dwell only on self- interesf, without casting one glance towards general prosperity. The moral degradation consequent upon such a change, is of momentous importance, and we have only to compare the characters of Ihe inferior classes of inhabitants in the crowded manu- facturing districts, with the agricultural peasantry, to discover what a sacrifice of human happiness would ensue, did commerce increase by the wreck of agricultural pursuits. The distress produced by the commencement of a free trade in silk, such as it is, can give no adequate idea 011 the subject: this has only a partial, a local bearing, but with the agriculturist it will extend to every corner of the empire. 1 shall not, Sir, obtrude so much on the columns of your valuable paper, as to enter into tbe argu- ments which may, and doubtless will, be urged, about tbe transfer of capital and labour, from agri- cultural employment to the production of other commodities, and of their disposal in foreign mar kets, & c. & c. because I r » st assured, even if such a change were practicable, the loss of capital to the agriculturist, the distress and misery of the labour- ers, who meanwhile must be subject to all the ills of poverty and degradation, would positively forbid the attempt, and depend on it, the whole system of this nation is so closely interwoven, that tbe ruin of one part must seriously affect all. The speculations of political economists may indeed be extremely- imposing in theory, but cannot, in the actual situa- tion of this country, be reduced to practice, without producing the most incalculable misery— Instead, therefore, of transferring the business of raising our agricultural supplies to fhe people of Holland, Germany, and Poland, it undoubtedly will be our interest, with the present superabundant population, to have them raised by our own peasantry, although we might be obliged to pay a higher price for them. This would enable them to be better customers to our merchants and manufacturers than foreigners could be, and to relieve themselves from the degra- dation of submitting to be supported by the parish funds. We should thus concentrate our national strength, have youths of sound, hardy constitutions, feed ourselves, preserve the principles of independ- ence, and maintain that place among nations we now hold, which place was obtained only by our intrinsic wealth, our oicn constitutional powers, and by the regulation and discipline, the steady deter- mined valour, so often displayed by our British armies. The Roman Catholic Question. A Charge, delivered lo the Clergy of his Diocese, at the Visitation in July, 1826, by tbe Lord Bishop of London, has recently been published. In Ihis Charge, his Lordship has principally directed the attention of his bearers lo the present condition and prospects of the Church, as affected hy existing cir- cumstances ; he has considered ils welfare and stability as dependant upon 110 party zeal or political advan lages, but solely upon Ihe regular,' efficient, and conscientious discharge of iheir ordinary duties by the great body of the Clergy. He adverts to the increase of Schools for the religious education of the poor,.— lo the erection or enlargement of Churches, which has provided accommodation for multitudes who before were debarred from access lo public worship,— and to Ihe encreasing altcntiou paid lo those Societies through whose widely extended influ- ence the Scriptures and other religious books are disseminated, anil Missionaries sent out tn carry the glad lidings of the Gospel to the remotest corners of" the earth. These, wilh several charitable institutions peculiarly demanding the support of the Clergy, are brought before iheir notice, aud impressive appeals made in their behalf. The Charge also contains the following masterly sketch of the slate of Ihe question between the Churches of England and Home : " In respect to her external relations, the affairs of fhe Church have proceeded not unsatisfactorily since our last meeting. Among the most remarkable events which have occurred during thai period, is the revival of the controversy respecting the pretensions and doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, which, in Ihis country at least, had ceascd for many years lo excite any considerable degree of attention. The weakness of the grounds on which that Church rests her claims 10 spiritual sovereignty over Christendom, the authority which she assigns to tradition as a rule of faith, and ihe unscripiural character of many of those doctrines which she imposes on Ihe belief of Christians, had been so clearly demonstrated by the early Reformers, and again by our divines after the Restoration, as to satisfy the nation at large of tbe necessity of separating from a communion, which required the sacrifice of liberty and truth by lhe acknowledgment of an usurped power, and the pro- fession of a con- up! faith. The arguments on both sides having been sifted again and again, and placed in every different view, the discussions were gradually discontinued, or, if renewed from lime lo lime hy the zeal of divines, cxciled little interest. A long and active hostility subsided into a virtual truce; the Protestant laid down his arms iu the confidence of victory, and the Roman Catholic was unwilling to renew an attack, from which, though firm in his persuasion, he hail been taught by experience to expect no beneficial result. In consequence of this mutual forbearance, Ihe reasons of onr separation from Rome, and Ihe real principles of the Roman Catholic Church, which once had been generally known, were no longer familiar to the public; and many persons were led lo imagine, tiial a change had been sensibly wrought iu her system, that she had modified her objectionable tenets, had become more tolerant io Christians of other persuasions, anil was disposed, if not formally to disavow her exclusive pretensions, yel to abstain from pressing them. It is true, that ihe principles which were taught in her schools of divinity, as well as the public documents put forth by her highest authorities, contradicled ( his charitable supposition? bul few persons would be al the trouble of examining lectures in theology, and it was said, with some shew of probability, thai official papers must speak the language of form, which is pi escribed by ancient usage, and is nol always to be tiutlerslOod iu its strict sense. " The silence has, however, been broken; and ihe question al issue between ' he Reformers and the Roman Catholic Church has been warmly debated on religions grounds, aud, on both sii| es, with no mean ability. Of the issue of such a controversy, even had Ihe cause of truth been defended with less power of reason anil eloquence than was displayed on this occasion, there could be little doubt. In Ihe estinia. lion al least of every Protestant, our adversaries have equally failed in the proof of their charges against our National Church, aud in the defence of their own It is not tnv intention to enter into Ihe general ques- tion, any branch of w hich is too large for the present occasion, and which has been ably and amply dis- cussed in publications which are in the hands of every oue. The point to which 1 would draw your alien tion, is the light which has been thrown, in Ihe result of the controversy, on the character of the Romish Church; the utter disproval of auy alteration, or even the possibility of alteration, iu her principles, claims, or doctrines. " Whatever difference of opinion, under tbe con. nivance, if not the allowance, of her rulers, may be tolerated, in some respects, and in some countries, all her Divines of any authority agree iu asserting, that she alone, wilh the successor of St. Peler at her head, the representative of Christ upon earth, is the one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, out of whose bosom there is no sajvalion ; that to her all Churches are subject, ns their mother and mistress; the parent lo whom Ihey are indebted for their being; the sovereign from whom Ihey derive their authority, aud to whom Iheir allegiance is due; Ihat in virtue of the promises of Christ anil Ihe continual assistance of his Spirit, she is infallible, excepted from the possibility of error, in matters of faith, anil authorised lo enforce her decisions 011 the conscience of all Christians. Tbe unity of faith, of worship, of government, all drawn to a point under the supremacy of the Pope, is essential to the constitution of her Church, and . admits of no impeachment. Her authority she can- not renounce in the slightest particular, because, emanating from Christ, as a trust to be exercised for the good of mankind, it is inherent anil inalienable; nor can she subject her doctrines to revision, because infallibility precludes aberration from truth, and truth is incapable of variation. The system of doctrine which she is thus engaged fo maintain, has heen long since defined and established, by Ihe Council of Trent, anil Ihe Creed of Pius Ihe Fourth, which latter embodies the peculiar doctrines rejected by Protest- ants, anil enjoins, under pain of damnation, their reception by every Christian, together with implicit belief of all that is held by the Romish Church, and the renunciation of all opposite- errors. To ihis must be added, her utter . rejection of any distinction of doctrines into fundamental or net fundamental: she regards not the importance of the doctrines : it is the slight to hcj- authority which subjects the offender lo anathema, for the obvious reason, that by impugning her judgment 011 Ihe most insignificant point, lie questions her pretence to infallibility. " This is in effect the great strength of the Romish Church, Ihe principle which cements Ihe system uf error, aud prevents it from falling info ruin. It is this " sacred inflexibility," as it is termed by her advocates, " her incompatibility w ith any error what- soever,"— in other words, her determined adherence to Ihe whole body of doctrines, whether true or false, which she has once made part of her creed,— which constitutes her principal security. Hence she dis- claims all compromise in questions relating to her hierarchy or articles of faith, and denies the privileges, and even the name of a Church, to every Christian community, and the hope of salvation to all indi- viduals, who refuse subjection lo her authority. I do uot accuse her of uucharilahleness 011 account of Ihis exclusive spirit : Ihe authority which she believes to have been ferred 011 her by Christ, it is her duly to exercise: tbe privileges received at his hands, she is not al liberty to relinquish: the faith delivered lo her custody, she is bound 10 maintain in its integrity: ami, if separation from her communion involves the guilt of apostacy end the forfeiture of the promise of salvation, she is under a sacred obligation to lift up her voice and warn mankind of their danger. But, the more firmly she is persuaded of her divine right, and disposed to act in accordance with it, the more incumbent is it on those who deny her authority, and think Ihey are able to prove Ihat she not only is liable to error, but has grievously erred in matters of faith, to be sure of the grounds 011 which they form their conclusions and assert their inde pendence. Where such are Ihe pretensions advanced, the truth or the falsehood of particular articles of faith become a secondary question. If Christ, has appointed tbe Church of Rome the exclusive possessor of his promises, Ihe sole depository of his authority the infallible judge in controversies regarding tbe failh, it is useless to debate on other matters. If this point is decided in her favour, our only resource is to acknowledge our errors, lo sue for reconciliation, and accept ihe system of doctrines which is proved to be true by her sanction. " In these statements, il is far from my intent tori to excite angry feelings. My object has simply been, lo explain, in exact consistency with truth, and without unnecessary harshness oflanguage, the actual position which the Church of Rome has assumed in regard to the Churches which disclaim her authority, and the consequences which flow from her pretensions. Oilier Churches may differ from us in points of importance; may reproach us with defects, and corruptions, and think it right lo abstain from our communion. The Romish Church asserts a title to privileges, which, if they really belong to her, cut us off from connection with Christ, anil place us, as rebels, usurpers, and apostates, out of Ihe pale of the Christian Church. Other Churches, if they fall into error, -. nay be corrected by lime and reason. The obnoxious tenets of many Christian sects have either been dropped from Iheir confessions, or have silently sunk into oblivion. But Ihe errors of Ihe, Church of Rome are imperishable; they derive from her princi- ples Ihe character of immutability which belongs to divine truth, and are asserted w ith equal confidence. " When we are acquainted with the true slate of the controversy, we may form our own conclusions, aud Ihese will undoubtedly lead us, as faithful sons of a Church, which neither in purity of doctrine, nor in holiness of worship, nor in Ihe apostolical succession of ils ministers, is inferior to any other Christian Church, wilh calmness and steadiness lo resist an usurpation which would despoil us at once of our failh, our liberties, and our sacred character. And how is Ibis to be done? Not, surely, by retaliating mis- statements, invectives, and calumnies, or crudely asserting an unqualified right of private judgment : but by reference to primitive antiquity ; by disproving tbe allegations of our opponents from the silence of Scripture, of general tradition, of ancient writers, which in a case of this nature is decisive; by appeal ing to the proceedings of Emperors, the acts of Councils, the language of Fathers, of Bishops, and even of Popes, which contradict the pretensions of ihe Papacy; aud by tracing the growth of Ihis ecclesias- tical tyranny from its rise after the division of ( he Empire, ( ill il attained ils height towards the close of Ihe eleventh century. Tbe Holy Scriptures, and the genuine records of ancient usage and practice, will in like manner supply us wilh proof of the real author- ity, Ihe legitimate privileges conferred on Ihe Church, and derived immediately from Christ 011 all particular Churches, which are true members of his body. And if we enter 0: 1 our charge with that sense of ils dignity, and humble reliance on aid from above, which we cannot but feel, if we are assured of our mission from Christ, and the truth of his promises to the Church, we may hope for the satisfaction of confuting our adversaries of every description, nol only by unanswerable arguments, but by Ihe power of. ihe Spirit of God appearing iu ihe fruits of our ministry." ifttisceilantfoasi SimtUgenic. An Inquest was recently held at Bilston, on John Armstrong, a boy about thirteen years of age, who worked iu an ironstone pit at Millfields Colliery, and who, on the Monday, was carrying a lighted candle across the works, which caused a quantity of inflam- mable air lo explode, and be being nearly naked, was in consequence so dreadfully scorched, that he died oil Wednesday. As accidents of this description are of frequent occurrence, we think Ihe following sugges- tion as a preservative from injury worthy ihe attention of all who are connected with Ihe mining business. It was stated al the inquest by a miner who worked in the same colliery wiih Ihe unfortunate young man who lost his life, thai he never knew any one well clothed in flannel, who went into a pit containing inflammable air, that was so burnt by an explosion of it as to occasion death, and that if a person so pro- tected by flannel were to go into ihe pits every ntorn- ing for the purpose of exploding the gas, previous 10 Ihe colliers descending to their work, many similar occurrences to the present would be p'eveuted; and this opinion was confirmed hy Mr. Besl, the surgeon who had attended Ihe deceased, and who observed, that in the course of his extensive practice, he had always found, in cases of this kind, that in proportion as tbe persons were clothed in flannel they were pro. teeied from injury, and he entertained no doubt, Ihat if Ihe deceased, instead of his almost naked body being exposed to the effects of the explosion, had al the time worn a flannel dress, the injury lie might have received would have been very trifling indeed, if any. Such is the deficiency of the hay crop in ihe South of Devon, Ihat £ 15 was given, a short lime since, at Itfrarombe, for one Ion aud a half; and one of tbe innkeepers of the same place gave £ 13 for a rick containing less thau two tons, besides the expense of carriage. IN DI A.—— Calcutta papers have been received to the beginning of May. They contain some interest- ing documents connected with the late military operations at Bhurtpore and in the kingdom of Ava. The following extract from Sir Archibald Campbell's dispatch to the Indian Government, details some particulars of the action which imme- diately preceded the ratification of the Burmese Treaty of Peace:— 4* A reconnoissance effected on the evening of the 8th discovered the enemy in force, and strongly posted about five miles in advance of the village of Yesseah, where I had that day encamped with my leading division. At this particular crisis 1 considered it of importance that the decisions of the Court of Ava should not be left, to depend upon hopes cherished under a false confidence in the promises of their new Commander. I therefore took measures for attacking the enemy on the morning of the 9th, and ordered Brigadier General Cotton, whose division was twelve miles in the rear, to march with three of his corps, at such aiK. hour during the night as would ensure his joining me by daylight. Thus reinforced, I marched at nine o'clock. Four miles from our camp I found, for the first time since the commencement, of the war, the enemy prepared to dispute the ground with us in the field, in frontof his fiist position. The disposition of his troops, and his plans for receiving our attack, exhibited marks of considerable judgment. His Ma- jesty's 13th Light Infantry led the right attack ( under mv own immediate direction), accompanied by four guns of the Bengal Horse Artillery, and a small de- tachment of the Body Guard, supported by his Ma- jesty's S9th regiment. His Majesty's 38th regiment, that on the left, supported by his Majesty's 41st, and two guns of the Madras Artillery, under the direction of Brig.- General Cotton— whilst Lieut. Colonel Parlby, with the 43d Madras Native Infantry, advanced on the bank of the Irrawuddy, our extreme left, to prevent he enemy throwing troops to our rear in that direction. They received our attack on both flanks tolerably well formed, and with a shew of resolution, but were soon obliged to give way before the rapid fire and steady charge of British soldiers. 4 Part of their troops, broke by the 38th, retired into a well- constructed field- work, but were so closely pursued that they had not time to form for its defence ; re from three to four hundred of them perished, either hy the bayonet or by plunging into the river to escape. The enemy, perceiving both his flanks attacked, and seeing our centre apparently without troops, pushed a column by the main road, towards an eminence in our rear, covered with pagodas, but was checked, and retired on seeing the 89th in reserve. Several times during the day they attempted, with their cavalry, to turn our right, and vigilantly watching every opportunity which might offer to effect this purpose. They at one time came down in great force aud good order, towards a small party of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry. Unfortunately, my force in cavalry did not enable me to avail myself of similar opportunities; but the very few I had of the Right Hon the Governor General's body guard, under the command of Subadar Major Quazee Wallec Maho- met, acquitted themselves with marked gallantry, and entirely to my satisfaction. The first of the enemy's positions being thus carried, the troops were re- formed, and, after a short halt, led to the attack of the second, which they soon forced without much op position. The enemy, thus defeated at all points, left me in possession of Pegahm Mew, with all its stores ordnance, arms, and ammunition. 44 Onr loss during the operations of this day, although of five hours' duration, and continued over four miles of ground, I am happy to say, is compara- tively small, a circumstance which I attribute to the want of their usual security behind works, whereby they were not only protected, but afforded a rest for their arms, which has often been the cause of consider- able loss to us whilst advancing to the attack. Every individual engaged conducted himself so perfectly to my satisfaction, that I will'not particularize any : a copy of the order which I issued upon the occasion, and which I beg leave to inclose, will best express my feelings towards the gallant troops i have the honour to command." Extract of a letter lately received from Major Brutton, of his Majesty's 11th Light Dragoons, who, speaking of the fall of Bhurtpore, says, t4 Thus the young Rajah was delivered from a prison, and perhaps" death, and restored to the throne of his ancestors^ where he was placed on the 5th instant by Lorn Combermere and SirC. MVdcalf, and thp next day if witnessed the blowing up of almost all the bastions^ and a long curtain of the face of the fort, against which Lord Lake lost so many men : and yon may conceive it was with great satisfaction I beheld the magnificent sight, on the very spot where i fell exactly twenty one years ago. Two days after the fort was taken, I went for change of air, by invitation of Brigadier- Gen. M4Combe, and took possession of the highest spot in the citadel; and in a small sleep- ing bungalow, which had served all the Rajahs as a look- out from the days of Surage Mull, one morning Lord Combermere aud Amed Bucks surprised me ( nol by a visit to me), when the former asked me for some c ha roofs ( cigars), as he came to perform a promise made to the Nawaub some time previous to the fall of the fort, to smoke a chillam with him tkere% which promise he had the pleasure then to ratify." N. B. Major Brutton was a Captain in his Majesty's 75th Regiment, and was shot through the breast on the top of that identical rampart. At the storming of Seringapatam, though with two severe wounds and only thirty men, he stopped Tippoo Saib when he sallied out of the gate- wav, where he was slain! till a column' which had mistaken its way came up ; and at the siege of Kalunza, being ordered by Sir R. R. Gillespie to drive on a body of Ghoorkabs, with two dismounted troops of the 8th Dragoons, he performed it with the loss of fifty of his squadron killed, all his officers wounded, himself desperately in the shoulder, from whence five pieces of lead have at different times been extracted. The caveat entered against tbe proof of the will of the late Mr. Farquhar is, we understand, with- drawn ; and letters of administration will be granted lo Mr. Eraser, oue of the nephews of tbe deceased, in November. The tax upon fhe probat, in the first On Monday last, the electric fluid killed a poor woman, iu bed, near Camborne, Cornwall, her body being literally reduced to a cinder; the husband was dreadfully burned, and a child was thrown from the bed on the floor, but without receiving any serious injury.

MR, ORATOR HUNT !— The mode in which men of this description impose themselves upon the pub- lic attention, will be clearly seen by the following letter. It may be proper to state, that the London Papers recently had several of their columns occu- pied with an account of a meeting at Andover, Hampshire, and with reports of Hunt's speeches there. The subjoined exposure will show how easily any mountebank politician, having first hired one ofthe 44 Gentlemen" of the London press to go with him as a 44 reporter," may force himself and his incendiary harangues into notice. Andover, September 28. Sir,— An account having appeared in the Times newspaper of Monday last, purporting to be a correct statement, of the proceedings of an Adjourned Meeting that took place in this tow n, on Friday, the 2' 2d instant, I hasten to put you in possession ofthe. real truth, anc! rescue this town and neighbourhood from the gross imputation which that statement attaches to us. A requisition, had been published in our county papers, calling: on the owners and occupiers of land, in the district, to meet at. the George Inn, in Andover, for the express purpose of petitioning Parliament not at present to repeal the Com Laws. I need uot say that this advertisement created little attention, except- ing from the parties immediately interested in " the question ; and it was supposed, from our town and neighbourhood being entirely dependent on the pros- perity of agriculture, that the meeting would have been respectably attended, and the object of the re- quisitionists carried without opposition — but, lo ! early on the morning of the 22d, it was buzzed about that the 44 fine animal," and Mr. Harry Marsh, of humourous memory, would attend, to endeavour to substitute a petition more suited to their pure and patriotic views ; and, moreover, that the 44 animal" would be. attended by his own reporter, to record his own speech. The meeting assembled about half- past twelve, in the little market room of the George public- house, capable perhaps of holding eighty persons, if well packed and squeezed in ; a few of the principal land- holders attended, perhaps thirteen or fourteen. The rest of the party was composed of persons who gener ally take part with Hunt in his politics, and conser quently there was no difficulty in outvoting the land- holders who attended. Hunt repeated his oft- told tale, abused the Royal Family, the Ministers, & c. ; bade defiance to the rules of grammar and good taste; in- terlarded his egotistical harangue with the coarsest allusions ; and obtained as much of the applause of his friends as he could possibly expect, who seemed highly delighted that his speech would be reported by his own Reporter. And this, Mr. Editor, has furnished matter for three columns in the Times newspaper, and is quoted as a specimen ofthe feeling- that exists in this neighbour- hood. But I forgot to mention, that, contrary to his usual practice, he eulogised one act of the Ministry, namely, opening the Ports for the admission of Rye. It would not he liberal to suppose he feels interested in the subject ; but the purchasers of Roasted Corn ought to be aware, that this friend to the suffering people is deriving an immense profit from their cre- dulity. It is rumoured that we are soon to have a meetin praying that the Ports may be opened for lamp black when of course he will preside, and this high spiritec patriot will again have an opportunity of lecturing on Blacking and Politics, and be attended, as usual, by his own Reporter. A CONSTANT READER. instance, will amount to upwards of £ 13,000 ; and, eventually, the whole duty to be paid to Government under the administration will be between £ 40,000 and £ 50,000. MUSTARD TRFF, OF THR SCRIPTURES— Mr. J. L. Frost, F. S A, F. L. S some time ago . com- municated to the Journal of Science some remark ® on the mustard tree of the Scriptures, Luke xiii, 19. Mr. Frost observes, 44That a grain of mustard seed should become a tree, must have appeared to many paradoxical." 441 am not acquainted with any species of Sinapis that can be called a shrub, much less a tree." 44 The plant most likely to be the mustard tree of the Scriptures, is a species of Phytolacca, which grows abundantly in Palestine; it has the smallest seed of any tree in that country, and attains as great an altitude as any. Two facts confirm this opinion. The Americans use the fresh sliced root of Phytolacca. Decandra for the same purpose as we use mustard seed, viz that of a cataplasm. Tbe seed of a species of Phytolacca afFords what the seed of Sinapis nigra does in abundance, nitrogen; an element not found in many plants, except those belonging to the naturai orders, Cruciatce and Fungi." FRENCH PARTRIDGES were not more than ten years ago exceedingly rare in this country, but in Norfolk they now are becoming very numerous, and are met with in large coveys. They are prettier, or rather more fantastically decorated, than the, English birds. They have red legs and beaks ; heads feathered and marked more variegatedly— as are tbe bodies. For eating they are preferred by many to the English, being much plumper. They do not, however, afford much amusement to tbe sportsman. When found, they have not the courage to take to their wings but run to the hedge- rows, and thus fall a prey to the dogs, without a shot having been fired. ON THE MANNER OF KNOCKING AT THE DOOR. In London, there are very few portes cocheres, ( or carriage gateways,) and these, like all other doors, are always kept shut. The manner of knocking at them designates the rank of those who wish for admittance. One stroke too little would be a de- gradation ; one too many, an usurpation— an inso- lence. The single knock denotes the milkman, the dealer in coals, a servant of the house, or a beggar, & c.—- it signifies, I should like to come in. The double knock announces the postman, a bearer of a note of invitation, or other messenger. It expresses haste; that the errand is one of business; and it signifies I must come in. A triple stroke indicates the master or misterss of the house, or those who most commonly frequent it. It expresses in an. imperative tone, open the door. Four loud knocks announce persons of bon tony just below nobility, who arrive in a carriage, and their meaning is, I choose to come in- The four strokes given twice, in a style truly staccato and firm, announce a lord or lady, an Indian nabob, a Russian prince, German baron, or some other extraordinary personage, and they signify, 1 do you great honour in coming to your house. These noisy ways of knocking, called in England thundering at the door, may sometimes flatter the silly vanity of those who receive the visits, bul they are very annoying and very impolite. Is it not possible to call on a friend or neighbour without announcing one's self by a species of insult } Can social intercourse not be maintained without committing an assault upon the house of the person with whom we wish to pass an hour or two, in con- fidential and harmonious relaxation? This custom of door thundering is an universal one— for any servant who might knock one stroke less than belonged to the rank and pretensions of his master,, would be instantly dismissed. Undoubtedly, of all the ways there are of making a uoise in the world this one is not the least absurd, and it certainly ought to be prohibited as a disturber of the public peace. " SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE."— The account which has appeared in several of the London Journals of a young lady, the daughter of a farmer near Hamp- stead, named Hinde, having been seduced bv ail Officer of Dragoons— and of her having subsequently committed suicide— together with the inquest held on her body at the Crown, at Hampstead, & c. & c.-— is from beginning to end a wicked fabrication. There is no public house of the sign of tbe Crown at Hamp- stead ; and the dramatis persona of this tragical narrative never existed, except in the imaginative brain of the writer of the article.— Tbe St. James's Chronicle, in allusion to this 44got up" story, says, " The Gentlemen of the Press" now constitute an organized and compact corps, who hold their employ-/ , ers in as much contempt as they do any Other descrip- tion of persons; they impose upon them what exag- geration they think proper; and when occasion does; not furnish a convenient foundation to work up art out- of- the- way lie upon, they proceed, as in the above case, boldly to invention." In the early part of August, Mr. Toghill, of Hazle- bury, discovered that one of his ewes had been sadly mangled and killed by some dog, during the pre « ceding night, and that another ewe was missing. After much fruitless search, all hopes of finding her had terminated, when, nearly a month afterwards, sh^ was found in a large hole in one of the adjoining quarries at Box, where the poor creature, no doubt, had sought security from the fury of the dog, and where she must have been during the whole of that time without the slightest nourishment. When taken out, she was nearly exhausted, but is now entirely recovered.— Devizes Gazette. BANKRUPTS, OCT. 3.—- John Wallace, of Liverpool and Belfast, merchant.—- Roger Pomeroy, jun.
