The Journal drs Debuts ( Paris Paper) has a splenetic article upon his Majesty's Speech to Parliament, and upon the explanations given bv Mr. Canning, in the debate which took place upon, the first day of the session. The " lofty station" and the " vast power" of England are tauntingly mentioned. With this, however* we quarrel not :' England, as a nation, must pay that tax which greatness always incurs— the mean envy and paltry hatred of rivals. But what we do quarrel with, and what we spurn at with proud contempt, is the assumption involved in the following sentence- The Speech from the Throne to the' Brilisil Parliament, and the discussions which ensued upon seem to us enveloped in the uncertainty of European policy; and all that can be inferred, at the present moment, is, that Mr. Canning; during his visit to Paris, settled nothing, except, perhaps, an arrangement yvith France upon the. subject of Spain and Portugal. But the three principal European questions— Ihe fate cf Greece— fhe gene- ral recognition ofthe new South American States— and fhe Emancipation of the Irish Catholics, have received, no fresh lighV Catholic Emancipation a European question! We would fain see tbe potentate, or the league of potentates, who would dare to remonstrate with a British minister upon the conduct pursued, towards British subjects. We would uot desire a better theme for the indignant eloquence of the great Statesman - who now directs the foreign policy of England, df need were, we would not wish a cans? Which; should tnore surely knit every heart and hand together in one common feeling at the insolent assumption of authority yvhich such remonstrance or advice would imply. No, no; yy- licn yve allow foreign influence to give a feather's weight to the councils of this country, in yvhat concerns her domestic rights and privileges, it must be after rivers of British blood have been shed, and the last spark ofBritish honour is extinguished',-- New Times.

As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person ha § the Pretension to say that he is the only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact he is perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear' Grease ; but if the Purchasers will " ive themselves thi Trouble of smelling it with Attention, tin y will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a little Bergamot ; which, from bavin analyzed it, J.

PARIS, Nov. 25-— Assassinations continue numer- ous in the streets of Paris ; one man was mortally wounded on Friday ; another yesterday ; and ag- ain there is a report " of another victim having fallen, H is dangerous to be out after'ten o'clock at night, and the sentinels ha~ ve received strict orders to be on the qui vive. I'he outrages are said to be principally perpetrated by labourers out of employ, of which there are said to be 150,000 at the present moment in tlie French capital. DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKE.— Accounts from ago de Cuba state, that the most awful earthquake os per'fenced for fifty years took place on the IS. th of September, between three and four o'eiock, A. M. by which one- half of the town was destroyed. The were two shocks, the second more severe than the first; the duration of each about one minute. Tbe hock began by a noise resembling tbe rumbling of heavy loaded waggons dragged over a paved archway, and finished with a tremendous explosion, like the si multaneous discharge of a great number.' of cannon Men, women, and children, left their beds, and fled the Cathed: ra4? amidst the most heart breaking cries and shrieks, crossing themselves, and craving pro lection of tlie Priests, who are stated to have bee most active on the - occasion, blessing the waters of the baths, into which the naked and distracted inha- bitants plunged themselv es, and remained for hours immersed to the neck. The Clergy have claimed the honour of preserving the whole island from destruc- tion by the efficacy of their prayers. The earthquake was fell at Kingston, Jamaica, on the same day and hour. A pamphlet on the Corn Laws has been published by Earl Stanhope: of the Political Economists his Lordship says, " May Heaven in its mercy preserve us from ail the professors of that pretended science, who are more to be dreaded than tlie plagues of ^ gyp1-" An alteration in the corn laws, he eon- tends, would produce universal ruin-. The question whether the Corporation of Reading had a right to tolls on corn, was decided last week in the Exchequer, after being thirteen years in dis- pute, against the Corporation, who have expended £ 5000 in litigating their claim. In the Catholic Association, on Friday, Mr. O'Connell moved a Resolution, expressive of the determination of tfia Catholics not to consider any Member of Parliament their friend who supports an Administration that will not make the Catholic Question a Cabinet measure.— The resolution was carried. SUSPENSION BRIDGES.— France has a large body of well- educated engineers; but in practical matters it is certain that their success by no means corre sponds with their reputation as men of science. Of this a striking example has just been afforded. M, Navier, a French engineer, after collecting all the information which our practice could supply him with, constructed, with the aid of the celebrated Prony, a suspension bridge, at Paris, over the Seine; but strange to say, it was not long completed, when it gave way and fell into the river. Thus the first scientific men in France have failed in a work which always succeeds in the hands of the practical men of this country, some of whom cannot even boast of a knowledge of the elements of geometry. The following is a short analysis of the last Combi- nation Act, by which it will be seen, in a concise and comprehensive view, what, to avoid its penal enact- ments, the workmen ought uot to do; and what, for the protection of their own interests, they may do:-— 1. Forcing or attempting to force any workman to depart from his hiring, before the end of tho tciiu for which he has hired — 2. To return any work in an unfinished state.— 3. Preventing, or endeavouring to prevent, any workman from hiring himself or going to Work.— 4. Compelling, or endeavouring to compel, any person to belong to any club or union.— 5. Or to coniri bute money, or to pay any fine to any club or union.— 6. Or to pay any contribution or fine because he did not belong to any club or union.— 7 Or because he did not comply with the roles or orders of any club or union.— 8. Forcing, or endeavouring to force, any mas- ter to alter his mode of carrying on his business.— 9. Forcing, or endeav- puriug to force, any master lo limit, the number of his apprentices. —!(). Forcing, or endeavouring to force, any master to limit ihe number or description of his workmen. Any man who shall by " violence, threat, intimida- tion, molestation, or obstruction," do, or endeavour to do, any of these ten things, may be sent to tbe tread mill for any time not exceeding three months, . Workmen may have societies or unions, mgy coutri. bo4e money for trade purposes, may give that money to whom they, please, may contribute towards the maintenance of men who are out of!' employment, either from striking, or from slackness of trade;, may have- commit tees and Relegates, may make terms with their employers in- every thing with respect to trade, may work or refuse to work with any man or anj number,; oi' any description of men, or with appren- tices, provided they " molest no one, . obstruct no one, commit no violence on properly or on persons, and neither threaten nor intimidate any one." The King held his first Levee for the sea'sou on Monday, iu St. James's Palace, which was most numerously attended. A great number of presenta- tions took p'uee. His Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits. Before the Levee, the two Houses of Convocation, who had come in . procession from the Jerusalem Chamber, were received by his Majesty, sealed on ihe Throne, and surrounded by the Great Officers of State. The Archbishop of Canterbury, wiih the D< ' an of Peterborough, Prolocutor of the Lower House, on his left hand, advanced to the foot of the Throne, aud read the Address voted by the tw< u Houses, which was received by his Majesty wil ii racious expressions of satisfaction. The King's reply contained assurances of continued favour and protection to the Church of England. The Members of the Upper House present were— the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops, of Lou* don, Exeter, and LlandafF— of the Lower House, the Dean of Petei borough, Archdeacon Pott, Rev. Dr, Goodenough, Rev. Dr. D'Ovley, Rev. Dr. Richards, Rev. Mr. Lonsdale, Rev. Mr. Poole, and Others, Afterwards the Two Houses met a » ain at the Jerusaj lem Chamber, where the King's Answer lo their Address was read to them, by the Archbishop, and the Session was adjourned to the 4th day of June next. The following is a Copy of the Address, and of His Majesty's Answer; in the latter of which, the expres- sions of attachment lo the Established Church— the assertion of that preference, which is justly due to1 its pure doctrines and service."— and tbe assurance that his Majesty vrHI " watch over its interests with unwearied solicitude," and u maintain it iu the full possession of every legitimate privilege" —- vill be read with grateful feelings by those whose interests are thus upheld j — U MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN, 54 We, your Majesty's dutiful subjects, the Arch- bishop and Bishops, and Clergy of lite province of . Canterbury, in Convocation itssembled, humbly Offer to your Majesty ihe assurances of our attachment and inviolable fidelity to your Majesty's person aud govern- ment. " The protection uh'cb your Majesty has at all times extended to the United Church of England and Ireland demands our sincerest and warmest acknowledgments. " Grateful for the past, we humbly implore a e miiniij ante of the same protecting power ; for, assuredly, Sir, there never was a period in the History of our Reformed Church thai more urgently required it; whether we direct our aticutimi to the avowed enemies of Christi anity, or to those who^ professing the faith of Christy sedulously labour to disparage and degrade the Church of which your Majesty, under God, is the Mead, aud which, we Confidently maintain, is formed upon the model of the earliest aud purest ages of Christianity. " It is our duty, Sir, to vindicate the establishment in the spirit by which it professes lo be governed, wiih temper, moderation, nnd firmness, seeking to conciliate those Who may be opposed to us,- uot to exasperale iheur — to convince, not boastfully to triumph over them. But, Sir, with this understanding of « oiir duty, we can- not dissemble fo your Majesty : the just apprehensions we entertain of the efforts lhat are now making to arrive al authority and power iu the State ; drillgc/. o'tls to the existence of the Protestant Constitution of the countryi and leading directly to religious disturbance, ani- mosity, and contention. " But, Sir, whatever be trie danger to which the Established Church may be exposed, we have full confidence in your Majesty's protection, and in the wisdom, discretion, and firmness of your Parliament. " We pray God to bless and protect your Miijesty." To which his Majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious Answer:— " MY LORDS, AND THE REST OF THE CLERGY, " I receive with great satisfaction this loyal and duti- ful Address. u The renewed assurances of your affectionate at- tachment to my person and government are mogg acceptable to me. " I rely, wttb the utmost confidence, upon your zealous exertions to promote true piety and virtue— to reclaim those who are in error hy the force of Divine I ruth— and fo uphold and extend among my people the preference which is so justly due to the pare doctrine and service of « > hr Established Church. " That Church has every claim to my Constant sup- port and protection. I will wnirh over its interests with Unwearied solicitude, and I confidently trust that I shall be enabled, by the bh ssingof Divine Providence, to maintain il in Ihe full possession of every legitimate privilege."

In the course OF his speech his Lordship paid a high tiibnte to the judicious and disinterested conduct of his Utfy& f Highness the Commander in Chief, which was received with loud cheers by the Home; and Sir It. FKRGUSON, Mr. CALCRAFT, and other opposition members, bore testi- mony to its truth. Mr. Alderman WAITHgave n'ofice. that imme- diately afler the recess he would submif. fi motion to the House upon the subject of Joint Stock Companies. FREE " TRADE. Sir H. PAR'NELL moved for returns, for 18* 24 and 18* 26, ofthe importation of. articles of foreign trade and manufacture upon which a reduction of duties and the removal of prohibitions'- mid* taken place- in 18' 25. The Hon. Baronet stated that bis" object was to shew that the duties which still remained upon most of the articles were such as to frustrate the advantages of ' free trade, so ably 1 eld out to Parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer,- and also to operate stilt- to a diminution of consumption, and a consequent reduction of revenue. He hoped that the consideration of the question, as to the propriety of permitting the present high duties to continue, would be referred to a Committee. fie particularly adverted to the high duty which was laid on foreign timber imported into this country, and which duty, did little good to the revenue, though it pressed extremely hard on the consumer. He also complained of the high duty on French wines, and observed, thai, as' long as we suffered this duty to exia we could not expect the French to take our goods ; and as it. was generally Understood that ihe treaty with Portugal, which bound ( is to admit the w ines of that country at a lower duty than those of any other, had expired, he could not see why the duties on French wines should not be reduced. Mr. HUSK issoff said he did not feel the least wish to object ' o tbe accounts being furnished which had been moved for by the Hon. Baronet, bnt in the present slate of the " House, and of the Session, he did not tjiink it would be at all fit t « enter into any particular discussion on the topics which had bee it adverted to. He would merely observe, that out of doors it had beeu laid to his charge, that he had done too much in his endeavour lo introduce a more free system of trade, Whereas the gentlemen opposite seemed to think that he had done nothing at all. He would not pretend to decide between these two conflicting opinions, but would content himself with setting the Hon. Baronet right respecting the treaty with Portugal. That treaty had not expired ; certainly, the period bad arrived when it was stipulated that alterations might be made in it, aud the Portuguese had intimated a wish that certain alterations should be made ; but until they were made the treaty remained in full force. With regard to the regulations respecting* timber and the other articles alluded to, the present was not a conve- nient time for discussing them ; he would, therefore, merely observe, that though they bad incurred so much censure,' theywere in strict accordance; with the policy and spirit of the Navigation Act. Alderman THOMPSON thought the country was greatly indebted to the perseverance of the Right Hon. Gentleman ; but, if it were intended to propose that the subject under discussion should be referred to a Committee, he Should oppose such a proposal until the question of the Corn- Laws had been decided.—- Colonel TOR HENS observed, that as we could not export our agricultural produce on account of its being- fifty per cent, dearer than the agricultural ptoduee of other countries, and as foreign countries would not give us their commodities for nothing, we must neces- sarily purchase them by our manufactures ; and he felt persuaded that if we had cheap corn, our manu- facturers would have nothing to apprehend from the rivalry of foreigners. The motion was agreed to, and the House soon after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN intimated his intention of bringing on his motion of inquiry respecting the Arig- na Iron Company, in which the conduct of Mr. JBrogden is involved, on Tuesday next. — Lord FOLKE- STONE made a rather severe attack upon Ministers for not immediately entering upon the two important questions relative to Corn and Currency. His Lord- ship's remarks drew from Mr. HOSKISSON, if possible, w still more distinct assurance that Government bad not now to adopt the course which they conceived it to be their duly to pursue, bnt were fully prepared with a specific measure. He vindicated the resolution Minis- ters had taken, not to open the question before the holidays ; and defended the propriety of calling upon Parliament to. assemble ihus fcarly, in order to decide on that step which it had become the duty of Govern- ment to take for the public benefit, in violation of law. Mr. HARVEY moved for returns of Excise informations and prosecutions for the last seven years, which were granted without opposition. LONDON, Monday Night, December 4, lf.; 2fi.

One of tlie most tremendous aud awfully de- structive storms of wind and snow ever experi- enced in this country, devastated the Highlands of Perth and Inveriiessshires, on Friday aud Saturday last. Such a dreadful storm had never been known there as on Friday— a strong north east wind, with heavy snow, so thick aud dark that one's sight could not penetrate it a dozen of yards. This continued all day. in the evening- less snow fell, but the wind continued awful during the night. It being our Martinmas market numbers of poor people from the country, attending the fair, lost their lives on this dreadful nig'ht. We have heard that eleveu dead bodies have already been found among- the suow. The roads to the eastward and northward of Inverness, are so much obstructed as to prevent the arrival of stage coaches ; aud the mails have, with much difficulty and exertion, arrived there about twelve hours beyond their regular time. The snow in the Highlands south of Inverness, is drifted in some places to the depth of 100 feet. Among the mountains of our own county the storm was uo less dreadful. The Caledonian stage coach, between Perth and Inverness, lies buried deep in snow, at the hill, called Drumuachder, near Daliiarcarnoch. Some of the passengers ar- rived here on Monday night, having travelled a great part of the way on foot. The guard reports, that ou the lee- side of some of the mountains and rocks, the suow is drifted to a depth far exceeding 100 feet. A man and a woman have been found dead among the snow near Moulin. In Perth and the low country adjacent there was comparatively little snow, but the cold was intense, and the wind blew a perfect hurricane. Trees in various quarters were broken down. Between Crieff and Muthif, we are informed, numbers of large trees were torn up by tbe roots, and many of them lying across the road; the mail coach from Perth to Glasgow was detained nearly two hours before the road Could be cleared so as to enable her loptoceed. The destruction of live stock in the Highlands is & reat, and being almost the sole pro- perty in that quarter, must be severely felt by the proprietors. Out of flocks of sheep consisting of 1000, not above ICO have in many instances been saved— and those who still survive cannot find sustenance, nor will the snow permit of their be- ing removed to the low country. The loss of life, both as regards the human and brute creation, has not yet been ascertained, and it is feared that many melancholy instances must have occurred. Reports are hearty arriving from various quarters confirming those fears. The snow in the mountains having begun to dissolve, the Tay has become considerably swollen to- day; several dead sheep have beeu observed floating down.— Perth Courier. The nuptials of Colonel Gatacre, of Gatacre Hall, ill this county, with Miss Jenkins, eldest daughter of the; late Richard Jenkins, Esq. of Bieton, and brother of the respected British Resident at Nag- pore, were'celebrated on Monday, by the tenantry of the latter gentleman, living on the estates at GREAT WOOLLASTON and WINNINGTON— The. poor of those and the neighbouring townships were regaled with two f\ ne sheep, which were distributed in portions according to their respective families.— The tenants enjoyed themselves over a gopd dinner at the Half- way- House; aTid after the accustomed toasts of loyalty, the health, happiness, and pro- sperity of' the newly- married couple were drank with three times three ; the House of Bicton, and other branches of that ancient Family, were suc- cessively drank in a manner that sufficiently con vinced such of the neighbours as resided within the distance of half a mile from the Half- way house, that tbe cause in which the convivialists were engaged bad the unanimous sanction of hand and heart, aid- ed by the powerful auxiliaries of true British lungs. — Early in the morning the labourers and servants of the different tenants were assembled with their teams to collect and carry to the top of Hargrave bank, ( he highest part of tbe estate, the materials for a huge bonfire; and as soon as night had suf- ficiently obscured the horizon to render a body of light impos: ngiy visible, the whole collective mass was ignited, and a grand and brilliant illumination of the atmosphere astonished the rustic natives, smoothed the ragged brow of labour, and lighted up the smiles of juvenile gratification, rendered still more completely happy by partaking of such as their neighbours in the valley drank— the glorious juice of Sir John Barleycorn, Similar rejoicings have also taken place 0: 1 the extensive estates of Colonel Gatacre, at GATACRE, CLA V FRL E Y, & e. Where the worthy Colonel's Family have resided in uninterrupted succession from a very remote period. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, Nov. 27, 1826.— The King was this day pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon Nicolas Conyugham Tindal, Esq. his Majesty's Solicitor- General. WHITEHALL, Nov. 29, 1826.— The Ring has been pleased to order a writ to be issued under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, for summoning the Right Honourable George Granville L^ veson Gower ( commonly called Earl Gower) to the House of Peers, by the style and title of Baron Gower, of Sittenham, in the county of York. The. doleful tidings of Sir William Wynne's in- tention to withdraw his pretensions to the ; high honour of representing the Borough of Stafford in Parliament reached the burgesses yesterday after, noon, and, as may be supposed, cast a gloom over electioneering matters, whieh can only be dispersed by the appearance of another candidate. Many, " whose are the plans of fair delightful peace," would be glad to see Mr. Spooner walk over the course : but there are ten chances to one against such an event, as may be conjectured, when, as we are informed, Sir William Vi'yn'. n'x resolution had not been known above an hour, before a deputation started off to the metropolis for tlie purpose of bringing Mr. Campbell once more into the field. ™ Stafford Pap? r, December 2.

His Majesty visited Covent Garden Theatre on Thursday night, which was crowded to an overflow immediately after the doors were opened. On the King's appearance in his box, which was elegantly fitted up for the occasion, he was received with the most enthusiastic cheers, and the National Anthem was sung by the whole strength of the house, the audience joining in full chorus. Between the play und farce " God save the King" was again snug with the same accompaniments. His Majesty re- peatedly testified his approbation of the entertain ments, and on the dropping of the curtain he bowed to the house amid the acclamations of the audience. The King visited Drury Lane Theatre last night. The house overflowed at an early hour, and his Majesty was received with the same welcome ex- pressions of attachment as at Coveut Garden. He was attended by the same officers of state as on Wednesday. The accession of pain which the luke of York experienced on Thursday has subsided. His Royal Highness transacted military business yesterday. PORTUGAL— The Monileur of Thursday gives some accouut of the sittings of the Portuguese Chambers. In the Peers it was resolved, on the 13th ult. that an Address should be prepared to his Majesty Don Pedro, expressing the deep gratitude of the nobility of the kingdom for his grant of the Constitutional Charter; and on the day following the Address was approved, and a deputation nomi nated to present it to the Princess Regent. In the Chamber of Deputies, it was proposed ou the 11th, that all individuals accused of having conspired against the Charter should be degraded without waiting for the accustomed formalities; this pro- position was, however, reserved lor further con- sideration.

A meeting of the Gentlemen educated at Cheam School was held in London, on Friday last; when it was resolved, " that a Subscription should be entered ii. to in order to raise a Fund, to be appro- priated to tbe purpose of presenting the Rev.

We are confidently informed that the demand for the FORGET ME NOT has been so great that it is expected it will be out of print long before Christmas. A refined Method of committing a Robbery.— On Sunday, the 12th of November, b- ing the Sunday between the last Pig and Cattle Fair at Bishop's Castle, a most daring' felony was committed at a farm, in the parish of Clun, in this county, belong- ing to Mr. Hale, of Brace Meole, in the following manner :— A man, about 40 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches- high, rather light made, thin face, and nose rather long, with daik hair and whiskers, dressed in a darkish barrag- anjacket, reddish waist- coat, dark coloured corduroy breeches, with dark stockings that had been newly footed, came to the house on the Saturday evening, at the close of the day, when it happened that a woman and an appren- tice boy, about eleveu years old, were the only in- mates, and said that their master had sent him for some store pigs that were there, which he was to take to Brace Meole the next day, and that he was to sleep with them that night,' and the hoy was to go with him the next morning to Purslow Hundred House to help him to drive them. This very plausible story, and the ready answers he made to several questions put to him by the woman, induced her to permit him to sleep with the boy ; and the next morning, at day break, he set off for the Hundred Hour-, taking five strong hog pigs and three gills, aud the boy to help him to drive them. When he arrived at the Hundred House, about 8 o'clock in the morning, he ordered breakfast for himself and the boy, and meat for tbe pigs, and drank two quarts of ale; after which he sent t| ie boy back, and proceeded with the pigs along the road towards Aston and Craven Arms, telling Mr. Jones, the landlord at the Hundred House, whom he asked to help him a little way with the pigs, that his master would pay him the next time he came up. It is understood, at present, that both Houses of Parliament will adjourn, on the 14th instant, to the 14th of February next. Commissions signed by the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Flint.

Prime fat beasts, however, were in request, and sold well aud readily, at about 6^ d. per lb. and some as high as 7d.; fresh aud meaty beasts were aUo iu demand, but inferior cattle and small lean stock were quite a drug, in consequence of the scarcity of winter keep, In the sheep fair which was fully supplied, little or no business was doing; fat ewes were worth about 5d. and wethers fid. per lb.; aud a few very prime sorted ones still higher, but no call at all for stores. The number of pigs was small; fat bacon pigs brought about 9s. per score, and good porkers perhaps somewhat higher. The horse fair exhibited the poorest show seen a long time; but useful nags and prime cart colts met ready purchasers at good prices.

CLEOSCBT MORTIMER, Nov. 27TH, 1826. fEfsKdlaneoajg SnfelUgejus?. / it the Birmingham Public Office, on Thursday last, James Boot was committed to take his trial ut the next Assizes, charged with having, in October last, feloniously disposed of and put away two £ 5 and five £ 1 forged Bank of England notes. He also stands charged with uttering, on the same day, four counterfeit sovereigns, six half sovereigns, and twelve half erdSvns; further, with having, on the 7th of Nov. disposed of six £ 5 and six £ 1 batik notes, four counterfeit sovereigns, five half sove- reigns, and twelve half crowns;' and on the iSth of Nov. three £ 5 and nine £ 1 hank notes, and eight counterfeit Sovereigns. This prisoner was tried at Warwick, about seventeen years ago, for a similar offence, and acquitted, since, which period, it is suspected he has been actively engaged in coining and forging notes, which he dViposcd of wholesale to the ntterers. Several of the lartir have been executed for passing notes with which it is sup- posed the prisoner furnished them,— The £ 5 notes Boot is charged with forging are very well execut- ed, and printed on paper that appears to have tbe water- mark woven in its texture, and not impressed afterwards. The numbers and dates are printed with a different ink from the body of the plat? in a similar manner to the gennine notes. Most of them have Ihe signature of Gaiidin, and all the numbers are variations of 27 000, some being 27,792, others 27,729, & c. the first two fig- tires remaining fhe same. The £ i notes are not executed nearly so well, and may be easily detected from the thickness of the letters aid their irregularity; ( he same numbers appear to both. On the same day a woman, named Matilda Rosy, was committed to the Quarter Sessions, charged with having on her person eleven hundred and thirty- four counterfeit shillings, with intent to utter the same. The base coin was found concealed in a number of pockets in a Kind of belt, which was wrapped round her body under her. stays, and supported by bauds across her shoulders. It is supposed she was going to Ireland for the purpose of passing fhe comiterf-' its. She came from that country ou Saturday, no doubt to lay in stock at the Birmingham market.— There are several other per- sons in custody at Birmingham, charged with dis- posing of forged bank notes, counterfeit sovereigns, and other base coin. LAMENTABLE ACCIIJEVT.— About thr° e o'clock on Wednesday morning the tall chimney belonging to the extensive smelting and colour works of Messrs. Ackers, Bowers, and Co. in SpItalSelds, Liverpool, fell down in a moment with a tremendous crash upon the adjoining cottages, killed three persons, and severely wounded sciti? others. The ch iinuey was ninety feet from the base, and vvas constructed to carry oft' offensive smells. A man whose duty it vvas to remain in charge of the. furnace during the night heard a noise as of some person knocking at the door : he inquired who was there, and notrec - iving a. i answer, he immediately conceived that the noise came from the chimney. Alarmed, he went to the watchman, and begged him to conte into the works: the watchman, fortunately, refused to do so, an" 1 requested the workman to come out, which he did ; and the next moment tha ponderous chimney; the smelting- house; & c. were a mass of ruins. The accident happening at a time when most persons were in bed, it is a matter of surprize that so few lives were lost. Three poor people, Peter and Catharine Landy ( man aud wife), and John M'Carty, were dug out of the ruins quile dead ; one poor woman was taken to the Infirmary grievously injured, but hopes are entertained o. her recovery, and many others were hurt— Th< i injured persons were promptly attended to by medical men, and Mr. Ackers, who resided out of the town, came to the works as quickly as possible; and shewed the most humane feeiing on the oc- casion.— At twelve o'clock a Coroner's Jury was summoned upon the bodies of those who were killed, ar. d in the course of the evidence taken it was deposed by Jasper Murphy, the man who had tiie care of the furnace, that he always understood that the chimney was strong and in good repair. Latterly, a small furnace about a yard from tbe larger one had been taken down, and the brick- layers were employed in building a new one; the wall of the new one was only raised about three feet high when this accident happened, but tiie ground between the two furnaces had not been disturbed, nor had the chimney that fell.-^- A sur- geon proved tile manner by which the deceased persons came to their deaths: and some bricklayers, who had beea employed in building the small furnace, swore that the largo chimney appeared to be perfectly safe.— The Coroner Mr. J. B. Holllnr- | head, Said, he was not satisfied respecting the cause if the chimney falling. He was of opinion that no blame was attributable tq Mr Ackers,- or any- individual ; but in order fo allow time for the ubbish to be cleared, and the production of further vidence aS to fhe cause of this distressing accident, he vvould ar'journ the case until Friday se'nnight. Tup KEY.— Intelligence from Constantinople of the 26th ult. states that fresh cdnttiigratioits had taken place in that capital, the result of fresh con- spiracies, and which were fallowed by renewed scenes of slaughter. The mind sickens at the perusal of these sanguinary narratives, aud we ask ourselves, is there a spot in civilised Europe where' such barbarous enormities can be perpetrated ? Is there a Government, to which the Ambassadors of Christian Slates are accredited, where ferocious despotism can indulge itself iu strangling, drown- ing, and banishing its subjects by hundreds and tens of hundreds at a time ? The adept in political systems may tell us, that this link in the chain of Continental Sovereignties cannot be displaced with- out deranging the whole machinery. We are not pre- pared to dispute the fact, but we may, aud do, most heartily deplore it.— It is the locality of Turkey, which alone obtains for her a distinction over the most savage tribes of Africa and America. Were she not a European Power, what Government in Europe would submit to the degradation of being represented there? And were it. not that European interests, real or supposed, separate from any interests of her own, sustain her iu her position, would it have been endured so long, that she should outrage every moral and religions feeling, by her unrelenting persecutions and barbarous cruelties But the time cannot bo far distant, when she mus either adapt herself to the system of which she now forms so heterogeneous a part, or be cast off from that system altogether, as a fou! and unseemly excrescence. GREECE.— The Etoile ( Paris Paper) of the 29th ult. contains some accounts of the supplies furnished by the continental committee to the Greeks, which ought to fill with additional shame those who pre- tended to assist Greece in this country.— At au expense of not more than 200,000 francs, not quite £ 8,000, there had been transmitted to Napoli di Romania, up to the 28th of July, 2,422,", 551bs, of Hour, 383,9691 bs. of biscuit, rice 72,309lbs. maize 83,8051bs. cheese 2,684lbs. forming a total of nearly three miiiions of pounds of articles of food, which have rescued whole populations from famine' and destruction. " When this si tall expense, and these great results," justly observes that paper, " are compared with the enormous expenses incurred in England without any result, it is seen what zeal aud good management can produce, and also how many calamities spring from want of order, improvidence, and neglect."—" At this moment," it proceeds, " when our countrymen are collecting fresh meana to procure relief for the unfortunate Greeks, it is encouraging to see that the Government of Napol , whilst displaying the most lively gratitude, takes the most scrupulous care of registering and sending receipts for every article transmitted to Greece. The details furnished by that Government amply justify it from all those charges of disorder and dilapidations to which it has been exposed, since, whilst acknowledging what it receives, it also points out the uses to which it has been put." A species of vegetable tallow has lately been introduced from India, of which candles have been made, which burn well, and from which no un- pleasant smell proceeds even when blown out. O.

Drayton- in- Hales. THE RED- NOSED LIEUTENANT. [ From AcflerMamfs 44 Forget me not*} Five and twenty years ago I was just five and twenty years of age: 1 was thus neither young nor old ; in addition, 1 was neither handsome nor ugly, neither rich nor poor, neither active nor indolent, neither a Socrates nor a simpleton. More ordinary men than I bad been man- it d for love, poorer men had got credit and rolled on their carriage wheels till it was out, and greater fools had been cabinet conn sellors. Yet all this did not satisfy me. Years had swept along', and 1 was exactly the same in point of publicity at five and twenty, that 1 had been at fifteen. Let no man say that the passion for being something or other in toe wOiid's eye is an improbable thing. Show me that man, and 1 will show him my Lord A. driving a mail- coach, the Earlof B. betting at a boxing match, the Marquis of €. the rival of his own grooms, and the Duke of D. a director of the opera. My antagonist has only to look and be con- vinced; for whit could throw those patricians into the very jaws of public jest, but the passion for pub- licity ? 1 pondered long upon this, and my resolution to do something was a I hist fixed. But the grand difficulty remained— what was the thing to be done? what was the grand chemin d'honneur, the longest stride to the temple of fame, the royal road to making a figure in one's generation? The step was too momentous to be rashly taken, and 1 took time enough, for I took a year. On my six and twentieth birthday 1 discovered Ihat 1 was as wise and as public as on my birthday before, and a year older besides !' While I was in this state of fluctuation,. my honoured nncle arrived in town, and called upon me. Let me introduce this most excellent and most mutilated man. He had commenced his career in the American war,, a bold, brave, blooming ensign ; what he was now J' shall uot describe. Bul he had taken the earliest opportunity of i> lory, and at Bunker's Hill had losl an eye. He was nothing the worse as a mark for an American rifle; and al Brandjwine he had Ihe honour of seeing* La Fayelte run away before him, ami paid only a right leg as his tribute of the victory. My uncle followed on the road to glory, gaining a new leaf of laurel antl losing an additional fragment of himself in every new battle, till with Burgoyne he left his nose in the swamps of Saratoga ; whence having had the good fortune lo make his escape, he distinguished himself at Ihe siege of York Tflwn, nnder Cornwallis, and left only an arm in the ditch of Ihe rampart. He had returned a Major, and after lying on his hack for two years, in the military hospi- tal, was set at liberty lo walk Ihe world on a pair of crutches and be called colonel. I explained my diffi- culty to Ihis venerable remnant of* soldiership. 4 Difficulty P cried he, starting up on his residuary leg, 4 I see none whatever. You are young, healthy, aud have Ihe use of all your limbs— the very thing for the army !' 1 glanced, involuntarily, al his own contributions to the field. He perceived it, and retorted ; ' Sir, ! know the difference between us, as well as if 1 were the field surgeon. 1 should never have advised you to march if you had uot limbs enough for the purpose; but you have your com- plement.' ' And, therefore, can afford lo lose them, my good uncle,' said I. 4 Nephew,' was Ihe reply, 4 sneering is no argument, except among civilians But if a man wants lo climb at once to a name, let him try the army, Have yon no estate? Why, the regiment is your freehold. Have you no education ? Why, the colour of your coat will slant! you iu place of it w ith three- fourths of Ihe men and all ihe women.. I? ve you no brains ? Why, theiiMibscn. ee will never be missed at tiie mess ; and as for the field, not half a dozen in the army ever exhibit any pretentions of tlx kind.' This was. loo flatlei'ing . a prospect lo be over- looked, 1 took the advice : in a week was gazetted into a marching regiment, aud in another week was on board bis majesty's transpoit, No. 10. with a wing of the gallant thirty regiment, tacking out of Portsmouth, on our way to Gibraltar. Military men have it, that there are three bad passages—'. he slow, the quick, and the neither quick nor slow ; pronounc- ing ihe two- former detestable, the latter ! Ihe storm making a man sick of the sea, the calm making him sick of himself, a much worse thing; and Ihe alternation of calm and storm bringing both sicknesses into one. My first passage was distinguished by being of the third order. I found my fellow sub al terns a knot of good- humoured beings, the bovs with ihe habits of men, the men wiih the tricks of boys, all fully impressed with the honour of the epaulette, and thinking the man who wore two instead of tme the most favoured of all things under the sun Weal length cam, e in sight, of the famous rock, loomed magnificently from the sea ; and every glass was to the eye as the lints and baiteries, that looked like teeth in ils old white head, rose grimly out of the waters. The veteians of the corps were in high delight, and enumerated with the vigour of grateful recollection the cheapness of Ihe wines, the suuguess of the quarters, and the general laudable and illatid- able pleasantries of the place. ' She younger listened wilh the respect due to experience, and, for that evening, an o. drtd- nosed lieutenant, of whom uo man the centre of a circle, a he blue- stocking,- surrounded with obsequious listeners., by virtue of his pre- emi- nent knowledge of. every wine- house in the garrison. Such is the advantage of situation — nine- tenths of mankind, till they are placed on the spot of display, what are they but red- nosed lieutenants? We arrived at Gibraltar, where the garrison were like Thieba. nlt in Frederic's paradise at Potsdam— we conjugated from morning till night the vCrb ' Je myennuie, tu f ennui6s, il s'enmnef through all its persons, tenses, aud mc- ods, and at length we were ordered for - Egypt. Never was regiment so delighted. We supped together, upon the news, and drank fare- well to Gibraltar and confusion to — in bumpers without measure. ! n the very height of our carousal, my eye dropped upon my old friend's red nose. It served me as a kind of thermometer, 5 observed it diminished of its usual crimson. * The spirit has fallen,' thought I ; 4 there is ill luck in the wind.' 5 took him aside; but he was then lot) far gone for egular council : he only clasped my hand with the fervour of a fellow- drinker, and muttered out, lifting his glass wrih a shaking vvpsl, 4 Nothing but con- foundedly bad brandy iu Egypt for love ur money'.' We sailed. A calm is succeeded by a tempest, but glory, says the campaigner, slipped fr<' mi us ou all sides. Wel, weary, half- starved, aud frightened to death, we darted through every nook and channel that had ever figured in ihe history of ihe Cyclases : left Olympus on ihe one hand, and Ida on the other; caught glimpses of Cos and Seio, Rhodes and Hydra, all peering through fog antl cloud, and lashed by sheets of billow aud foam I wished them all len - thousand fathom under water. We. were shipvv. reeked on the coast of Cara mania, and surrounded, by natives. Soldiers are no great geographers; Ihe line leave that business to the staff, the staff to the artillery, the artillery to the engineers, and the engineers to Providence. At our council, which was held on a row of knapsacks, and with one pair of trowsers among its seven sages, it was asserted, with equal show of reason, that we were jn Africa, in Aiabia, in Turkey, and in the Black Sea. However, our sheep- skin friends were urgent for our depart u re. We finally sailed- for Egypt ; found the French building fortifications on the shore: and, like a generous enemy, lauded just where they had provided for our reception.- But the world knows all this already, aud I disdain to tell what everv body knows: but Ihe world does not know that we had three councils of w ar to settle whether the troops should land in gaiters or trowsers; and whether they should or should not carry three days' pipcclay and blacking in their knapsacks. The most valuable, facts are, we see, often losl for wan! of our being a lillie behind the curtain. The famous landing was the noisiest thing conceivable. The world at a distance called it Ihe most' gallant thing: and 1 have no inclination to stand up against universal opinion. But whether we were fighting againsl the sandhills, or the French, or the sun in his strength; whether we were going to the right, or i be left, or I be rear; wheiher wc wt re beating or beaten, no living man could have It/ Id in two minutes after ihe first shot. It was all clamour confusion, bursting of shells, dashing of water, split- ting of boats, aud screams of the wounded the whole passing under a coverlet of smoke as fuliginous as ever rushed from furnace: under this 1 blanket of the daik,' wc polled on, landed, fought, and con qnored; and for our triumph, had every man his length of excellent sand for the night, the canopy of heaven for his tent, and the profoundest curses of the '- commissariat for his supper. On we went, day afle day, fighting the French, starving., and scorching, till we found them in our camp before day- break, on tbe memorable 21st of March. We fought ihem there as men fight iu the pit o( a theatre, every one for himself: the French who are great tacticians, and never fight but- for science's sake, grew tired before John Bull, who fights for Ihe love of the thing. The Frenchman fights but to manoeuvre, the Englishman manoeuvres but to fight. So as manoeuvring was out of the question, we carried the affair all after our own hearts. But litis victory had its price; for it cost the army its brave old general, and it cost me my old red nosed lieutenant. We were standing within half a foot of each other, in front of the lit lie ruin, where the French luvincibles made a- la- si struggle: they fired a ' volley before they threw themselves tin their knees, according to the national custom of- earning their lives, when 1 saw my unlucky friend tumbled head over heels, and stretched between my legs. There was no time for thinking of him then : the French w ere hunted out, la bafonetfe dans le cul; we followed-— ihe battle of Alexandria was won, antl t> ur part of the success was, to be marched ten mites off, to look after some of their fragments of baggage. We found nothing, of course; for neither in defeat nor in victory does the Frenchman ever forget himself. In our bivouac the thought of the lieutenant came over me; in Ihe heat of Ihe march I could not have thought of any thing mortal but my own parched throat and crippled limbs. Absurd as the old subal- tern was, I 4 could have better spared a better man;' we had been thrown together in some strange ways; and as the result of my meditations, I determined tt) return and see what was become of the man with the red nose. Leave was easily obtained ; fur there was something of the odd feeling for him that a regiment has for one of those harmless madmen who sorrntimes follow its drums in a ragged uniform and formidable hat anil feather. It was lucky for ihe lieutenant Ihat I rode hard, for I found him as near a premature exit as ever hero was. A working party had already made his last bed in tbe sand ; and he was about to take that possession which no ejectment will disturb, when I felt some throbbing about his heart. The soldiers insisted, that as they were ordered out for the purpose of inhuming, they should go through with their work. But if they were sullen, 1 was resolute; and I prevailed to have the subject deferred to the hospital. After an infinity of doubt I saw my old friend set ou his legs again. Bul my labour seemed in vain: life was going out; the doctors prohibited Ihe bottle; and the lieutenant felt, like Shylock, that his life was laken away, when that was taken ' by which he did live.' He resigned himself to die with Ihe composure of an ancient philosopher. The night before I marched for Cairo, I sat au hour wilh him. lie was a changed man, talked more rationally than I had believed within the possibility of brains so many years adust with port ; expressed sflme rough grati- hide for my trouble about hiin, and finally gave me a letter to some of his relatives in England. The regi men! was on its march at day- break; we made out- way It) Cairo, took possession, wondered at its filth, admired its grand mosque, execrated ils water, its provisions, and its population : were marched back lo storm Alexandria ( where I made all possible search for the lieutenant, but in vain); were saved the trouble by the capitulation of the French; were embarked, landed at Portsmouth just one year from our leaving it, and, as it pleased the, wisdom of Napoleon and the folly of our ministry, weie disbanded. 1 had no reason to complain ; for though 1 had been ship- wrecked and starved, sick and wounded, I had left neither my. life nor my legs behind. Others had been less lucky ; and from the losses in the regiment I was now a captain. One day, in looking over the reli, ques of my baggage, a letter fell out: it was the red- nosed lieutenant's. My conscience reproached me, and I believe for the moment my face was as red aa his nose, I delivered Ihe letter; it was received hy a matron at the head of three of the prettiest maidens in all Lan- cashire, the country of beauty, a blonde, a brunette, and a younger one who was neither, and yet seemed alternately both. I liked the blonde and the. brunette infinitely; but the third 1 did not like, for I fell in love with her, which is a very different thing. The lieutenant was her uncle; and, regretted as his habits were, this family circle bad- much It) say for his gene- rosity. Mary's hazel eyes made a fool of me, and 1 asked her baud Ihat they might make a fool of no one else. The colonel without the nose was, of course, invited It) the wedding, and he was in such exulla- tion, that either the blonde or tiie brunette might have been my aunt if she pleased. But Ihey exhibited no tendency lo ihis gay military Torso, <\ nd the colonel was forced to content himself with the experience of his submissive nephew. The wedding day came: the three sisters looked prettier than ever in iheir vestal white. The . colonel gave the bride away, and in the tears and congratu- lations <' f this most melancholy of all happy cere- monies, Marv chose her fate. We returned it) dinner, and were seated, all smiles, when the door opened, and io walked— the red- nosed lieutenant ! Had I seen, like Brutus, 4 the immortal Julius's ghost,' I could not have been more amazed. Bul nature was less doubting ; Ihe matron threw herself into his arms; the blonde and the brunette clasped each a baud ; aud ; viy bright- eyed wife forgot her conjugal duties, and seemed to forget thai I was in ihe woHd. There was, indeed, soir^ reason for doubt : Ihe man before us was his physiognomy had losl its regal hue. All Ihis, however, was explained by degrees. After my depar- ture for Cairo, he had been given over by the doctors ; and sick of taking physic, and determined lodie in his own way, he had himself carried up the Nile. The change of air did something for him— the absence of the doctors perhaps more. He domesticated himself among the peasants above the cataracts, drank camel's milk, ate rice, wore a haick, and rode a buffalo. Port was inaccessible, and date- brandy was not to his taste. Health forced itself on him; and the sheik of the district began lo conceive so good an opinion of the stranger, that he offered him his daughter, with a handsome portion of buffaloes, in marriage. The offer was declined ; but African offence is a formida- ble thing, and, after having had a carbine- load of balls discharged one night through his door, he thought it advisable to leave the neighbourhood of his intended father- in- law. I am not about lo astonish the world, anu throw unbelief on my true story, by saying that the lieutenant has since drank of nothing but the limpid spring. Whatever were his Mussulman habits, he resumed his native tastes with the foiceof nature. Port slill had temptations for him; but prudence, in the shape of the matron sister aud the pretty nieces, was at hand, and, like Sancho's physi- cian, the danger and the glass vanished at a sign from those gentle magicians. Our chief anxiety arose from the good fellowship of the colonel. He had settled within a field of us, and his evenings were spent bv our fire- side. He had been, by the chances of service, I once on campaign with the lieutenant ; and all cam- paigners know that ihere is uo freemason sign of friendship equal to that of standing to be shot toge- ther. But there was an unexpected preservative in this hazardous society. The colonel was incapable, of exhibiting, in the centre of his countenance, that living splendour w hich made Falstaft' raise Bardo!}! to the honour of his admiral ; he could 44 carry no lantern in his poop." If envy could have invaded his generous soul,, it would have arisen at the old, restored distinction of his comrade. He watched over his regimen : kept him to the most judicious allow- ance of claret; and the red nose of the lieutenant never flamed again. THE CORN LAWS. [ FROM THE MORNING HERALD.] Instead of embarking- in medias res, if general report is to be credited, Ministers mean, on the subject of the Corn Laws, to adopt the old, safer rule of in medio tutissimus; and instead of adopt ing* the extreme opinion either of the landed or manufacturing interest's, to take a middle course, which may enable them to do justice to both, and to the country at large, without involving them- selves in the extravagant demands of either. The difficulties of this question, we are inclined to think are rather imaginary than real. We have always oursefves been inclined to deprecate any thing like a creation of conflicting interests between parties who, if they rightly view their respective interests, are not* so much opposed to each other as they would' persuade themselves that they are;- The mistake of both parties, but especially that of the manufacturers, seems to be,- the importance which they attach fo foreign trade over that of home con sumption.- There are a certain class of persons who would have us believe that the whole success of our manufactures depends upon the persons engaged them possessing cheap bread. But if this be so, we would ask those persons how it happens that the late and present difficulties iu which that class of the community have been and are involved could have happened, when bread has been for a long continuance at a more moderate price than has been known for many years in this country ? And how happens it that manufactures in general were never more flourishing than when land and its produce were at the highest prices? Precisely for this reason ( a reason which, we trust, wiil never cease to operate), that the different members of the community, like those of the body, are dependent upon each other, and that a healthy and prosperous state of the one must depend upou the healthy and prosperous state of the other. As far as actual cheapness is concerned, both the one and the other is weighed down by the enormous debt of the country ; and if fhe question be one merely between the price of commodities at home and abroad, the debt is the real countervailing weight which destroys the competition both parties are aiming at. And if the silk manufacturer finds that even a duty of30 per cent, is insufficient to enable him to cope with the foreign importer, with what grace can he expect the grower of corn at home to compete, with- out a protecting duty, with the untaxed grower of coru of Poland or elsewhere ? But if the silk and cotton manufacturer of this country, instead of fixing his attention exclusively upon the export trade io each article, would look a little to the amount of the home consumption, and consider how important it is to him that the consumer should not be diminished or crippled in his means, he would, in the end, discover that they are, in fact, passengers embarked in the same vessel; and that to ask to destroy his means of purchasing, is, in fact, to impoverish his best, his surest, and most valuable customers Valuable as foreign trade may be, home trade is, in fact, much more so; and to see our agriculturists in rags that our South American and other customers may buy our cottons the more readily, would, we suspect, be but a temporary advantage, if any at all, to the over- producers of Manchester and other places. It is the duty, then, not only of Ministers, but of the whole community, both agricultural and commercial, to grapple with our situation such as they actually find it. To talk of a free import of corn, while our lands are burdened as they now are, is puerile and useless. The only question really is, what is the duty which will enable the home to compete with the foreign corn grower. To ascer- tain this, the real difficulty is to get at what are the actual costs of production in this country. To come to any thing like a certainty upon this point is almost impossible; as it varies on almost every farm, or at least in every parish where the inquiry may be instituted. On this, as on the general ques- tion, the middle course will, in all probability, be the safest; and in striking an average Gn the various estimates which will be forced upon them, Ministers will most likely come as near the actual mark, as by adopting any one upon which their own judgment should decide. At any rate, we trust that the subject is one which will now be set at rest, and that upon such reasonable grounds as ought to satisfy reasonable persons on all sides of the question. What we would press upon the good sense of the whole community is, the common and not the discordant interests which the country, one and all, possess upon the subject. To suppose or to expect that one part of the community is to be bene- fitted at the expense of the other, or that in the end any such sacrifice would be a benefit to them, is one of those egregious errors which a moment's consi- deration must convince any reasonable man cannot be maintained ; and if persisted in and accomplish- ed, could only in the end effect the ruin of those for whose advantage it is professedly put forth. that measure prevented its execution. I remained « in the Ounghenlay prison six months, in one pair of fetters; at the expiration of which period, 1 was taken out of irons, and sent under a strict guard to the Burmese head- quarters at Mahlooan, to act as interpreter and translator. Two months more elapsed, when, on fti. y return fo Ava, I was released at the instance of I^ oung Shawloo,- the north governor of the palace, and put under his charge. During the six weeks that I resided with him, the affairs of government became desperate, the British troops making steady advances on the capital ; and after Dr. Price had been twice despatched to negociate a peace ( a business which I declined as long as possible,) I was taken by force and asso- ciated with him. We found the British above Pah- gan: and on returning to Ava with their final terms, I had the happiness of procuring the release ofthe very last of my fellow- prisoners; and on the 21st inst. obtained the reluctant consent of govern- ment to my own final departure from Ava, with Mrs. Judson. " On my first imprisonment, the small house which 1 had just erected, was plundered, and every thing valuable confiscated. Mrs. Judson, however, was allowed to occupy the place, which she did until my removal to Ounghenlay, whither she followed. Subsequently to that period, she was twice'brought to the gates of the grave; the last time with the spotted fever, while 1 was absent at Mahlooan. She had been senseless and motionless veral days, when the providential release of Dr. Price, at the very last extremity, gave an oppor- tunity for such applications as were best suited to her relief. On my return, I was astonished to find her in the most emaciated, helpless state, not having heard a word of her illness. She, however, rapidly recovered, and is now in perfect health. Even little Maria, who came into the world a few months after my imprisonment, to aggravate her parental woes, and who has been, from very instinct, it would seem, a poor, sad, crying thing, begins to brighten up her little face, and be somewhat sensible of our happy deliverance. 44 The treaty of peace was signed yesterday, by the respective plenipotentiaries, according to the terms of which, the province of Arracan, and the small provinces of Ya, Tavoy, and Mergut, in the south, are ceded to the British. It was this con- sideration, chiefly, that induced me to embrace the first opportunity of leaving Ava, where the only object I ever had in settling, was to obtain some toleration for the Christian religion; a favour which I hope now to enjoy without leave from his golden- footed majesty. 4 Sir Archibald has assigned us a large gun- boat for our accommodation down, the river; and we expect to leave this in a very few days.— Your's, & c# 44 A. JUDSON, Jun." HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT. Case of an Imprisonment at Ava. The American Baptist Mayazine, for October, contains the following letter, from Dr. Judson to Dr. Baldwin, dated British Camp, Yantabo, Feb. 25, 1826: " REVEREND AND DEAR SIR,— We survive a scene of suffering, which, on retrospect, at. the present moment,- seems not a reality but a horrid dream. We are Occupying a tent in the midst of Sir Archibald Campbell's staff, and are receiving from him and other British officers, all manner of kind attentions, proportionate to the barbarities we have endured for nearly two years. 44 I was seized on the 8th of June, 1824, in conse- quence of the war with Bengal, and, in company with Dr. Price, three Englishmen, one Armenian, and one Greek, was thrown into the death prison, at Ava, where we lay eleven months; nine months in three pair and two months in five pair of fetters. The scenes we witnessed and the sufferings, we underwent, during that period, I would fain consign to oblivion. From the death prison., at Ava, we were removed to a country prison, at Ounghenly, ten miles distant, under circumstances of such severe treatment, that one of our nundrer, the Greek, expired on the road; and some of the rest, among whom was myself, were scarcely able to move for several days. It was the intention of government, in removing us from Ava, to have us sacrificed,. in order to ensure victory over the foreigners ; but the sudden disgrace and death of the adviser of In the hall of the Hungarian Deputies, at Pres- burg, it is impossible not to feel a momemtary de- light, the picture is so new and so. startling. I sat in the gallery, whither I went at an early hour; but it was filled fo suffocation before the members took their seats. The hall is nothing remarkable, merely a long, lofty chamber. A chair is raised on a Step at* the upper end, for the president. Tables i* un the whole length of the hall, covered with green ci'ot'hy and supplied abundantly With materials for writing. Immediately below, and to the right of fhe president, sat such bishops and dignitaries of the cliurch as have seats in this assembly. The rest of the members, and there appeared fo be more than three hundred present,- wore the national dress of Hungary. If consists Of a; hussar jacket and pantaloon, of brown cloth, and a hussar hootV The ornaments are of black silk face, plain, warlike, and becoming. A very few, indeed, were sheeted in gold lace, and a few more wore a t'assei of gold' bullion on the boot, and a gold cord fastening the pelisse. The reason of this difference I learned to be that some were actually in the military ser- vice; andthe tassel and cord of others were little vain additions, which men dandified by residence in, Vienna had ventured to assume; but nothibg could be more plain, or in better taste, than the costume of the many. There was a spur on every heel, a sword on every thigh, and by the side of every man, on the table, at which he sat, stood the kalpac, with its rich brown fur, and that falling top of crimson cloth, which, when, in former times, the Hungarian galloped to the field, flew bravely in fhe wind, giving life and menace to his motion. It is im- possible to gaze down without interest on this belted assembly, the descendants of a race of warriors ever ready to leap into their saddles,— in fact, the vanguard of Europe against the Turk. I cordially hate the Turk, not because he is a Mahometan ; I am not so wretched or so narrow- minded a Christian as that; but because all of him that is not slave is tyrant; because he would ( if he could) bring back upon the earth a moral darkness. I must admit, indeed, that the Hungarian has some- thing of the tyrant, in him,— a haughtiness gotten centuries ago. on horseback ; and that he has, in his day, lorded it among his vassals, as did the barons of our own country ( blessing- s on their memory, nevertheless!) in the days of King John ; but when we reflect that the nobles and privileged classes of Hungary form, at least, a twentieth part of her population; that, upon the whole, that population has generally been found attached to them; and that the Diet of Hungary has often resisted and de- fied the crown of Austria, we cannot say that it is composed of slaves. No longer, indeed, can they be said to defy the crown; and in the consciousness, perhaps, that they have sunk nearer to the people, so they feel more with them, and raise their voices more loudly for them. The debate was carried on in Latin : numbers spoke, and, in general, they had a ready and fluent command of language, and a very animated and manly delivery. Few of their speeches were more than ten minutes in length, and the greater part still shorter. It is true that, as it has seldom fallen to my lot to hear Latin spoken since, as a youth, I listened to declamations, I cannot pre- tend to speak to the classical correctness of expres- sions, or the construction of sentences, but thus far I can say, it was not a bald, meagre, thin Latin; and many of the sentences fell richly rounded on my ear. There was one churchman, an abbot ( I think), who spoke rapidly, bitterly, and very well; and there was an elderly deputy, with grey hairs, who ! replied to him most eloquently, with a fire and a freedom that surprised me. I could not get fully at the subject, but it was some question connected with a tax that had been imposed, under the late viceroy,- on salt, and that was felt and complained of by the people. This fine old Hungarian, in tlve i course of his speeeh, d welt proudly upon the ancient privileges of his country, and complained that the spirit of them had been greatly invaded during the late lieutenancy. His loyal expressions towards the person and family of the emperor were warm, and seemed to be sincere ; but he returned, quite as bitterly, to his attack on the measure on which he sought to impeach the minister; and in one part, where he was more particularly pleading the cause of the people, he cried out, with animation, ( vox pr. puli, vox DeiJ" It electrified the whole assembly. There were many loud 4 Vivafs /' not only among the deputies themselves, but also from almost all the persons in the gallery. For a brief moment I might have fancied myself in a free assembly ; but the calm, complacent smile upon the features of a keen- looking president, who is the representative of the crown, reminded me that there was a bridle upon the Hungarian sleed, and, although he is suffered to prance loftily in pride and beauty, and to fancy as he galfops that he is running far and away, his rider sits laughingly at ease in his saddle, and knows better. The illusion is still more dissipated at the doors of this assembly; no fiery horses stand saddled and neighing for their masters; but a long row of mean open carriages, each, however, with a hussar behind it, wait tamely in the street, and such ofthe spurred members as have one get slowly into it, loll indolently back, and are driven to their lodg- ings.— Reflections on Germany. f$ lij3ceUan£ OU0 EimiHgenu. Tt will be in the recollection of our readers, that Mr. Cuthbert, of Broadstairs, Thanet, became one ofthe bail, in the sum of £ 1500, for the appearance of Mr. Wakefield, to take his trial for the abduction of Miss Turner. Mr. Wakefield absconded; and on Monday the Bodar of Dover Castle ( Sheriff's officer) took possession of the property of Mr. Cuthbert, at Broadstairs, to pay the forfeited recognizance of that Gentleman.— Kent Herald. On Tuesday, the Rule for a criminal information obtained on a former day against Edward Shackell, the proprietor of the John Bull newspaper, for having published libels on the character of Mr. Hartshorne, as mentioned in a former Journal, was made absolute.— The defendant, Shackell, now ad- mitted, in his affidavit, that there was not the slightest foundation for the imputations alleged against Mr. Hartshorne. EXECUTION.— On Wednesday, John Hayes, con- victed of a burglary in the house of a gentleman with whom he had lived as a servant, with James Boyce, Robert King, John Robinson, Geo. Nicholls, and James Goulby, severally convicted of highway robberies, were executed in front of Newgate. A few days ago Mr. Walker of Harrietsham, despatched from that place six carrier pigeons, brought from London, for the purpose of ascertain- ing the time they would occupy in flying to the metropolis. They performed their flight as follows: ~ one in an hour and a half, one in an hour and ten minutes, two in one hour, and two in fifty- eight minutes. The birds when first released did not immediately take flight in the direction of London, but after ascending a considerable height, they flew about for several minutes, as if reconnoitering. The measured turnpike road distant from Har- rietsham to London is forty miles, but measured on the map by a right line between the two places is about thirty- four miles.—- Maidstone Gazette. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT OLDHAM;.—- Tuesday night, about a quarter before ten o'clock, a fire was observed in the fourth story of a large mill belong- ing to Messrs. Cussons, Bradley, and Wilde, at Old- ham. How, or by what means, this destructive fire originated, has not been ascertained ; but from the statement of the manager of the male department, who went through every room between eight and nine o'clock, and who left his lanthorn as usual on the staircase, it appeared at that time to have been perfectly safe, and free from smell of fire. The Are was first discovered in the carding- room, and so rapidly did it communicate from engine to engine, that notwithstanding a plentiful supply of water, all hopes of arresting its progress were soon abandoned, andthe whole of that extensive building, with all its valuable machinery, soon fell a prey to the flames. We are happy to add, that no lives were lost, and that the proprietors were insured to the amount of £ 26,000, though it is supposed the pro- perty destroyed will amount to £ 30,000. . Four hundred persons, we are sorry to hear, will be thrown out of employment by this catastrophe. Mr. Cussons had nearly fallen a victim to his endea- vours to extinguish the fire. His perilous situation attracting the notice of sOme of the workmen, he was carried away dreadfully scorched, and is now confined to his bed.— Manchester Herald. The expenditure for Norwich made by the chief constable has increased more than double within the last few years. The total increase from 1782 to 1826 exceeds tenfold the amount of the previous year; it being, in" 1781, £ 334. 19 » . lOjd. aud in 1826, £ 3876.12s. 4d. The assessment for the poor- rate, for the two last quarters, has been about lis. in the pound, which is upon the half rent or there- abouts; and, says the Norwich Mercury, 44 if this bear any near approach to the truth, and such a mulct be continued, the appalling fact stares us in the face, that the entire rent of the city of Norwich must be surrendered to its paupers." Cholesbury ( Bucks) rates, the last two quarters, amounted to 19s. 7d. in the pound— poor- rates 16s. surveyors' 2s. 7d. church Is. A very melancholy and calamitous affair occurred in the neighbourhood of Hastings, on Thursday, the 16th uH. in consequence of a pugilistic rencontre between two young men, named John Sinden and George Fosler, the former a butcher, the latter a labourer. They met in a field near the fence of All Saints* parish garden, attended by Henry French and Christopher Fielder, as seconds, and surrounded by many spectators. They shook bands and set to, and fought w ith great perseverance for thirty- five minutes, during which Fosler received many severe blows on his head, and was eventually taken off the ground in au exhausted state, and carried to his habitation just by. His face was washed, and he was put to bed ; in the night his wife heard him groan, or fetch a deep sigh, she enquired if he wanted any thing? he begged to have his head raised, aud then fo be left without in term pi ion. This was done, antl in I be morning she found him a corpse by her side. On Saturday a Coro « £ r's inquest was held on the body, and the Jury returned a verdict of 44 Manslaughter." Sinden, Fielder, and French, the principal and seconds, were then committed to Horsham gaol, for trial at the ensuing Assizes. The deceased was only married ou the Sunday preceding the accident. Sinden is of respectable parents, and bears a gootl character. BYE WAYS.— Since the erection of Turnpike gates on our highways, that daring species of rob- bers called highwaymen have been extinct. But the bye-^ wuys have engendered a more sneaking class of plunderers, men who are better English geographers than any who have ever been retained by either our Courts of Justice, or the General Post- office. It will doubtless appear strange to the majority of our readers to be informed of the fact, that horse- stealers, or the transporters of any other plunder that may be conveyed on horseback, have only to pass one gate out of the immense de- posit of tangible property presented by Bristol and Clifton, ( between which there is no turnpike) to reach as far as the city of Gloucester without any such interruption. A respectable innkeeper, his friend having lost two horses, was induced to apply to a man residing in the neighbourhood of Clifton, who was possessed of much knowingness ofthe marts for that description of free traffic ; and the knowing one acknowledged the claim for his friendly assistance by stipulating that each should be provided with a horse qualified to make a long journey. Accordingly they set out through this very gate, and actually travelled, without passing through another, as far as Christchurch in Hamp- shire, where the stolen horses were found, and re- stored to the owner without further difficulty to either party. A beautiful specimen of native copper has been presented to tbe Geological Society of Cornwall by E. W. W. Pendarves, Esq. It weighs upwards of 1201b., and has been recently taken out of Con- durrow Mine. On an assay of a part of the speci- men, it was found to contain 99 parts in 100 of pure copper. THE CORN QUESTION— An assertion is made, at those from w hom wc take corn will lake a grealCr quantity of British manufactures. That- is substan- tially a mere delusion. The United States of America have, for these nine years, been crammed wilh British gootls. Hie local merchant has been run down, or displaced. His connexion", local knowledge, and experience, are a nullity. Manufacturers have taken his place, there and every where, and in their haste lo get rich in their double occupation, and unshackled by experience, they prepared goods beyond the wants of every market in the universe. They make goods by steam, ship them by steam, and sell them by steam. Political economists tell ns, in their continued jabber, that the price of any article consists in the cost and profit. That may be a truism at home, but the markets abroad are not now in the least regulated by the manufacturing cost at home.— This brings to mind an observation, that out of revenge of tbe corn laws ( or perhaps that we would not starve by their embargo) the patriotic Americans procured a very heavy tariff of duties, in order to exclude British manufactures, ( it would have been fair to say, coarse India goods also). Now they have in the United States a great many imported patriots, who vie with the natives in every kind of disinterested patriotism, the same as it is not one thousand miles off, and those who choose may believe them ; but perhaps ihey are, after all, pretty well self- interested. The Yankees ( New Englanders) who are not revengeful, have, in great numbers, traversed our manufacturing districts; have resided in all our manufacturing towns; are acquainted with the rise to opulence of our rich manufacturers. Is there, then, any thing wonderful, that the example of success they have witnessed should ifiduce their exertion lo obtain the same success in their own country, especially now that machinery brings all countries nearer equality. Cheap corn will be liked by manufacturers every where; but cheap or dear, no matter which, the repeal or modifi- cation of the corn laws will, unquestionably, be to the private advantage of ihe merchants of seaport towns: of that there can be no question. The only question to be asked and answered, is, will the repeal or modifi- cation of the corn laws be for the benefit of the labouring class, aud the mass of the community; or will it beat their expense aud risk? For the present we will put to it the quotation, at least—" It may be doubted."

PROPHECY.— Perhaps our readers would like to see what the crack- astrologer of the day has published in these enlightened times, upon the subject of the- late eclipse. We have his ( or perhaps her) work before us. It says, 44 This porlends deaths among the Great Ones ofthe Earth; a mighty Emperor, or a Piincely Monarch, as well as a renowned warrior, shall soon be called to the Gates of the Tomb, which will then dos'e over them for ever.— Where is live land that shall nol be filled with unusual trains of pompous mourners?

Several petitions were presented ; among the resty Lord KING presented a petition from the weavers of Carlisle-, praying for a repeal of the corn laws, a confis- cation of church property, and a reform of Parliament.. Earl SPENCER, in presenting apetition in favour of the Roman Catholic claims, took occasion to make is speech in support of those demands. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN presented a petition fronr a gentleman named Flattery, complaining- of frauds' Committed in the management of the affairs of the Arigiia Mining Company, and praying the house to institute an inq- uiry into the conduct of such of its members as were implicated in the transactions of that company.— The petition was rejected as informal, and an infraction of the privileges of the house. Mr. LITTLETON moved the re- adoption of the reso- lutions respecting Committees on private bills, which he had moved, and which the house had adopted, last session. Mr. W. Y. PEEIL seconded the motion, asserting that any change in the . manner of conducting private busi- ness in tlie house must be an improvement. A long and desultory conversation followed upon the details of the arrangements proposed iu the several1 resolutions; but ihey were all ultimately adopted. The com importation indemnity bill was read a first time, sub silentio. HOUSE OF LORDS- WEDNESDAY. Lord KING having presented some petitions praying for the abolition of the Corn Laws, the Earl of LIVBII- POOL said, the Government, had fully made up its mind as to the measures which it would submit to Parlia- ment ; but as they could not hope to get through this question before the holidays, antl as it had heen an- nounced that Parliament now met for other purposes,, many were absent who would wish to he present at the discussion. After the recess, he would take an early opportunity of explaining the views of Ministers to their Lordships, though the measure intended to he introduced would, in all probability, originate in the other House. The Noble Earl added, it was the wish of himself and his colleagues, that every opportunity should be afforded for the due cor^ sideration of the subject, that they might not be charged with acting- precipitately on this important occasion. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. A number of petitions against the Corn Laws were presented : one of them was from the weavers of Carlisle, antl in similar terms to, that presented in the House of Lords on the preceding' night, praying for the confisca- tion of the church property, & c. Mr. MABERT. Y gave notice of his annual motion for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes. Mr. HUME presented a petition from a man named Taylor, who has been for some years the leader of a set of professed Deists. The petition prayed that, as the petitioner and others of his opinion, did not believe in the doctrines of Christianity, they should, when called upon to give testimony upon oath, be sworn upon 44 the works of Nature," See.— The petition excited strong feelings of disgust in the House.
