A Medicine prepared hy a Shropshire Gentleman Farmer, SUPERIOR TO ALL THE PREPARATIONS IN THE WORLD, For the Cure of tbe Venereal Disease, the King Evil, Scrofula, Scurvy, Fistulas, and every Dis- order arising from Impurity of the Blood.

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

He has likewise appointed them to sell the under- I mentioned newly- discovered Articles; - POUDRE J UNIQUE, for changing Grey or Red Hair to a Light | Auburn, Brown, or Black. His POMADE REGENERATRICE, for the Growth I and Preservation of Ihe Hair; to which J. DBLCROIX I has particularly directed his Studies, and which has I led him to the Discovery of this valuable Compound, J composed of several Plants, the great Properties of I which, for the Growth of the Hair and preventing its j falling off, have been hitherto but partially known in j this Country ; it would he superfluous here to enlarge ou the Merits of this Compound, as a short Trial will I 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 I will effect this Object in eight Minutes, without the least Inconvenience or Pain, and leaving that Part of I the Skin extremely soft and smooth.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person has the Pretension to say that he is the only Proprietor of the genuine Aitiele, when in Fact lie is perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear's Grease ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily discover ( he Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a little Bergamot ; which, from having analyzed ii, J. DEI. CROIX can assert to he a Fact. Such Composition, in Lien of being beneficial to the Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of a very desicative Nature, and not of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- 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 snob Imitations, which | are so insulting to the common Understanding, and in | Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DELCUOIX 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 ofa Yellow Reddish Hue, but when purified, il i* sembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less . of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is o. i an oily and rich Nature.

General Sir Herbcit Taylor lo be his Miiilary Secretary.- r f-' tiX- v- The Etoitc, French paper, contains intelligence fiom Constantinople to the l^ t inst. The prejudices against the rcfoims introduced bv ' he Sultan are . wearing off, and all his Oighuess's measures go on successfully. A very large ai my is already formed on the principles of European discipline, aud the govern- ment steadily proceeds on the plan it has laid down. Jtegimeh'ts of cavalry aud art ill, ery are likewise forming. In fact, every measure seems to show the determination • of the Sultan to raise his empire into a great aud active military power. Intelligence to a late date arrived on Thursday eight from Lisbon. The Portuguese journals state that the rebels have been forced back at all points, and were driven to a short distance from the frontiers; There had been some skirmishing, in which the insurgents have been worsted. It is to be regretted that some p' 3tty and unworthy jealousies have already arisen in regard to Lord Beresford, to whom, as a foreigner, the Portuguese seem to object as a Commander of their army-— tHat very foreigner, too, to whose indefatigable exertions alone their troops were in the former contest brought to such a state of discipline, as to enable them, un- der his able direction, effectually to face their enemies,, and to obtain a succession of victories, to which they had so long before beeu utter strangers, A Circular from the Spanish Government, - addressed to the Captains- General of Provinces, has been re- ceived in town, it does not change she state of'the relations between this country and Spain, and it affords no certain- indication of the policy of Ferdinand. Directions are given to disperse the Portuguese refu- gees who enter Spain-. A disinclination is expressed to " offend Portugal or England, but no anger iiyex- pressed aft he past" conduct ofthe Commanders on the frontiers, and the general tone of the document is haughty and unconciliniing. The bands of Constitu- tionalists who issued from Gibraltar some time ago, aie a'ludcd to without any apparent ' object, except as a set off against England, and to keep in view the grounds of complaint on the part of Spain against tliis country. It does not appear that, at the date of the last advices, our troops had advanced from Lisbon. The quarters assigned to them are as follows :— The brigade of Guards ( under the command of Major- Gen. Sir H. Bouverie, K. C. B.), 10th Hussars, 12th Lancers, and four companies of the Royal Artillery ( Lieut.- Colonel Smith), in the Barracks at Bel em.— The 4th, 10th, and 60th Foot ( under Sir E. Blakeney), at the Camp d'Orique, Val de Peueiro, at the north- west extremity of Lisbon^ near the Ajuda. The- 63d Foot, part ofthe division of Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, are in the Convent of Grace, in the other extremity of the town, near the citadel.—* The 11th and 43d Foot, on their arrival, will com- plete Sir T. Arbuthnot's brigade. ' Fhe 23d Fusiieers go to Sir E. Blakenev's. Sir W. 11. Clinton, the Commander- in- Chief, is domesticated in the . Palace Bandeira, at Buenos Ayres. The Adjutant- General, Sir Evan McGregor, is in the Rua das Pracas. The Commissary- General Dissett aud the Quartcrmaster- Geucrul Sir C, Brooke, Rua St. Domingo das Capas. Contracts, says a private letter, have been made for the supply of the British army for one month in Lisbon, and tenders are out for any number of mules,- not iess than thirty- five being taken from one person. A muleteer to three mules, and a commander to every thirty. Officers of the Commissariat are said to be dispatched to prepare quarters at Abrantes, Coimbra, and Elvap. At the latter place the quar- ters have been put in order, in the daily expectation of a division of onr men. If the army move up tho conntry, Sir Thomas Arbuthnot is to command at Abrantes, Sir Ed ward Blakeney at Coimbra, and Sir H. Bouvcrie at Elvas. A letter, d ited Madrid, the 13th insLuil, sent the greater part of the way by express, assert a that a crisis is approaching in Spain ; that previously to the march of the Swiss guard from ihe capital, the King requested the attendance of ibe French Ambassador and the Commandant of the Swiss guard, and stated that he would take the responsibility on himself in detaining the Swiss soldiers at Madrid until he should receive tbe reply to a letter he had written to Charles X. which he had forwarded by express the day previously. The reply to the King was, that their orders from Paris were peremptory to order the march of the troops*, yet they would, under the sanction of his Mnjest\, order them to march in small divisions, which . would take up a longer period of time, nud that the rear- guard would . not he far 011 the line of march from the capital at the time of the reply from Paris — The let ter further states, that the brother of the King, Don. Carlos, takes immediately the command of the Spanish troops on the frontier, and that his departure from Madrid was daily expected. The indictments against Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield and his brother William, for the alleged abduction of Miss Turner, have been removed by certiorari into the Court of King's Bench, The Fight between Robinson and the Gas Man ( Bissell) for £ 100 a- side, took, place on Tuesday, at Monmouth Cap, on the confines of Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. A circle of waggons, 32 in num- ber, enclosed the place of combat, and hi the centre a 24- teet ring was formed. The spectators pre- sented a motley group, all well dressed, and from the numbers present ( about 4000} the Mill seemed to have its attractions for every one who could reach i?, when the die at length was cast for battle. Afler an interval of uhope delayed" amongst the assembled multitude, the renowned Champion Spring and Holt appeared about ajqnarter past one with Robinson, whom the former had been carefully training- for some time, and had rendered a clever boxer. The Gas Man, accompanied by Curtis and Burns,. entered the ring at the same time, and with- out further chaffing proceeded to business. On stripping- both the men appeared in excellent condi- tion ; Gas was the stoutest, but Robinson had the advantage in the length of arm; in weight there was little difference, and every appearance por- tended a fierce struggle and a u square fight." On tossing- up for choice of position, Robinson won, and the men immediately took their ground; their atti- tudes were^ excellent, Robinson's perhaps the best, and they seemed determined fiercely to contest the palm of victory, and the utmost silence and attention prevailed throughout the extensive ring.— The battle ii-. sted 35 minutes,- and up to the 21st round, neither of the men had much advantage over the other, indeed, if anything, if seemed to rest with Robinson, who, however, never recovered the effect of a knock down blow in the 21st round, and the bottom and courage of Gas carried him through, and insured him the victory. In science Robinson was the superior of the two, but he had not the " gift of endurance'** the hardy Gas Man evinced, nor that readiness to avail himself of advantages his excellent science gave him, which further practice will doubtless teach— if after the third round he had gone into his man with more determination, it would have been a more serious affair for Gas to have obtained the victory he did, if indeed it had rested with him, Both men did their best, and a more determined contest has seldom been witnessed— Gas has proved himself thorough game, and will doubtless prove a troublesome - customer to those who have hitherto deemed themselves his-. betters, if they might think it prudent to try him, .

LONDON, Monthly Night, January 2!), 1827. The intelligence from St. Domingo becomes daily more important to our oonimerrinl interests in that quarter. A proclamation issued by Boyer, iu April last, is considered us the origin of the discontent nud disturbances which are said miw to exist in that island, It seems that a system of military coercion- bad been adopted ( » compel the steady applii^ ition of the people tu agricultural labour. Whether or not Ihis expedient was calculated to renovate the finances of ihe state dots not appear; but it cannot he questioned that, in Ihe mean time, the freedom enjoyed by the blacks of llayti, after tile severe ordeals through which they have reached it, differs widely from European notions of ci* il liberty. ' Flic recently published correspondence 1 e'ween Mr. Canning and Mr. Galatiu has drawn the put) ic attention more directly to our own West Indian possessions; and the policy of tbe British Govern- ment, so explicitly developed by Mr. Canning, evinces tbe importance attached to the preservation of that ex- t n. ive biaucli of uur commerce. The proximity uf S'. Domingo to Jamaica renders any general change ii ihe former peculiarly impiutant; and if there be truth in recent letters, that the British merchants are withdrawing their property, it plainly shows the critical nature of Wesl Indian legislation, and the difficulties which our Government have tu encounter in making innovations in our own colonies. Mr. Baron Graham sent iu bis resignation as one of the Judges of the Court of Exchequer on Monday latit. His successor has not yet been named. Mr. Serjeant Vaughan is, however, looked to as his Lordship's successor. Extracts of a letter from Edinburgh, January 20. —" There lias been a most dreadful suow storm in tbe Highlands. A IVjr. Richmond has lost upwards of a thousand sheep. T here were some of the same Pock got out of the wreaths ( valleys) yesterday: they had been buried for a whole fortnight, and were still alive, although very weak.

It seems, by accounts contained in tha for- mer, that a feeling of animosity prevails, among' tome o" the inhabitants of Lisbon, towards the British, several of the soldiers having been assas- sinated in the streets. The truth of this statement is sufficiently confirmed by the publication of an official document, in the name of the Princess Regent, dated the 11th Instant, in which positive instructions are given to tbe Intendaut General of Police to take measures for guarding against tiie repetition of them. Under the date of the 13th January, It Is an- nounced, that the British troops were tn take the field in a few days, and that Lord Iiere* f.. d was to sail for England, in the Ocean, about the 20th cf this month. The object of his Lordship's return is probably to communicate, personally, to his Ma- jesty's Government, the result of his observations upon the military and political stato of the country. The Paris Papers contain, intelligence from Lisbon, whilst confirms the retreat of the rebels on almost every point, after having experienced several repulses from the Constitutional troops. The Duke of Wellington arrived in London yesterday, from his seat at Ktrathfieldsay. His Grace has transacted military business as Com- mander- in- Chief since his appointment to that office appearing ill Ibe Gazette. The official military papers were forwarded from the Com- mander- in- Chief's office, in the Horse Guards, to bis Grace in tho country, for his approval and signature. The following U an extract from a letter dated at Lisbon, the 13th instant:—" Some drunken British soldiers have entered into rows at night, with the inhabitants, and one or two have been stabbed. 1 mention this, because the business might be exaggerated In the newspapers."

His Lordship was first of Christ Church, whence he was elected Fellow of All Souls. In 1815, on the death of Dr. Jackson, he was promoted to the See of Oxford, and in 1817 succeeded Dr. l# am as Warden of All Souls, His Lordship took the degree of B. C. I.. in 1791, and of D. C. L. in 1805. lie was the seventh sou of William, the second Earl of Dartmouth, and was born in December, 1707. On Sunday week, a Sermon was preached at Condover, liy the Rev. Frederic Leicester, for the Distressed Manufacturers, and the Collection after- wards made amounted to f 12. The collection at Berwick, after a Sermon preached by the Rev. G. Moultrie, for the Dis- tressed Manufacturers, amounted to £ 9. K's. Wc congratulate the Subscribers to the History of Shrewsbury, in being at last able to procure a likeness of the late much- regretted Mr. Blakeway, in the piiut which Mr. Corbel has published from Iiis wi ll. known portrait of him in the possession of the Rev. W. G. Rowland. When the melancholy intelligence of the dealh of H'. s Royal Highness the Duke of York reached Prees, in this county, the churchwardens directed the belli lo be tolled muffled every other day until after the funeral. Orders were also given for hauling the parish church and the chapel at Whixall with black cloth, and fur putting the same sahU mark of respect over Ihe pulpit, reading desk, & c. at each place, Appropriate sermons, in reference to the fhehttfetiolv event, were also preached at Prees and Whixall to large cim « regatioiis ; and the shops iu ihe village of Prees were closed on the day of the Funeral. At a Public Meeting held in Chester, on Wednesday last, an Address of Condolence lo His Majesty, on the death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Ynrk, moved by Ihe Lord Bishop of lhe Diocese, seconded by Ihe Recorder ( R. Tvrwhilt, Esq), and supported by Lurd Grusvenor,- was agreed to unanimously. Oiie of the striking features of this aure of humbug is the fact, that Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Shiel, and other orators of the same stamp, who, previous to the late Duke of Yolk's death, were the most violent de- claimed against his personal conduct and public principles, are now eulogising the one aud the other.— Happily for the memory of the illustrious deceased, his character and conduct- are now too well known and too much revered by the people of England, to need the praise of those who can blow hot and cold in the same breath— who can one day oppose the very principles, which the next day finds them panegyrising with all that warmth of ready tongue which the liberalists of the present day know so well how to assume, when their object is to captivate tbe feelings of those who are more led by the impulse of the moment than hy the retrospect of human conduct and the consideration o£ the proceedings of political charlatans. BISHOP HEBER.— The character of the late Bishop Heber, as peculiarly suited to tbe wants of India, has been thus sketched :— " If there was any unhappy jealousy existing among angry and hostile sects in India, or among the members of our own establishment, he was the man to charm the evil spirit away; if any well of bitter waters, he was the man to shew thein the tree, which, when cast into those waters, should make them sweet. If a man of unsparing personal activity and enterprise was wanting to compass the extremes of that unwieldy Diocese, and examine for himself the state of its scattered and now numerous Christian Congregations— lie was that man. If a man was required who would look to the Education ofthe Native Children from a conviction that even iu Christian Lands ( and how much more in Hea- then!) early religious instruction is far too serious a matter to speculate about withholding or grantiu; tu the poor— he was the man. If the European part of the population of India needed one, who would give dignity and force to bis preaching by the weight of example; who would set a pattern of self- denial in the midst of rapacious self- interest, of simplicity in the midst of gorgeous extravagance, of purity in the midst of gross libertinism— the pro- vince was peculiarly his." The Prisoners in onr County Gaol return their thanks to the Executors of the late Mis. Sarah Darby, fur a donation of four tuns uf coals, Cnmmitted lo our County Gaol, Edward Russell and Thumns Byimer, cbaigetl with having stnien six turkey*, three geeso, two couple nf 1 .

At a Meeting held nt Welsh Pool, on Saturday last, Tbe Viscount ( live in tbe chair, it was resolved to establish a Dispensary there, fur the relief uf the pour of that town and neighbourhood. On Saturday week, a meeting was held In the Vestry room of Llanbedr Dyffrvn Clwyd, for the purpose of presenting a petition to the House of Lords, against the claims at present so vehemently urged by the Roman Catholics The meeting was numerously attended, and the petition, in Welsh and English, unanimously adopted ; the church bell lolled the knell of that honest and intrepid assertor of the Protestant Cause, his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, during the whole of the time of the meeting, and added much to its solemnity. The Right lion. Lord Kenyon, another noble friend of Protestantism, has kindly undertaken to present to Parliament this expression of his couatrymeu's feelings. On Wednesday, his Majesty's Post- office Packet, Vixen, Capt. Roberts, with the Mail from Waterford, arrived at Milford. At ten A. M. being theu off the Smalls Light- house, they discerned a ship on the lee- bow lying to, with a signal flying to pass within hail, which was complied with, when she proved to be the New- York Packet ship, James Cropper, from thence for Liverpool, out twenty- three days, with a number of passengers, amongst whom were two Couriers with Dispatches for his Majesty's Government, and the American Consul iu London, who, with several of the passengers, re- quested to be taken on board the Packet. Captain Roberts, with that promptness for which he is so distinguished, immediately hoisted out the boat, and brought the Messengers on board the Packet, viz. Mr. Waring, King's Messenger, and Lieut. Win, of the American Navy. Having a Mail on board, time would nut admit of sending the boat o; i board the second time, the Vixen proceeded on her passage, it is supposed, the dispatches conveyed by one of tlie Messengers relate to the ratification of the con- vention between our Government and America, by which the former stipulate to pay fur Negroes taken during the war with that country.

An Aihlreisof Condolence lo His Majesty, on- tbe death uf His Royal Highness the Duke uf Yui k, was uuanimoufily agreed to at a public meeting of tbe nobility, gentry, clergy, and freeholders of Ibe Hundred of Maelor, Flintshire.-— An Address uf a similar nature was agreed lo at a public meeting » t Denbigh, on Thursday last, RUTHIN'.— A very numerous and highly re- sectable meeting, convened by the Aldermen and Corporation of Ruthin, took place in the Council Chamber of the Town HJM, on Saturday. Nearly all the resident gentry aud other inhabitants at- tended. Mr. Alderman JOXFS was called to the chair, and commenced the business of the day by- reading the requisition, which bore the signatures of several individuals of distinguished worth aud influence in the town. F. R. WEST, Esq. of Ruthin Castle, M. P. then addressed the meeting, with great feeling and animation, to the following effect: — 1 avail myself of this opportunity to express my grief In common with you all on tbe melancholy event which has called us together ; still I cannot but mingle that grief with some satisfaction, in seeing no numerous and respectable a meeting of loyal subjects thus collected together, anxious to shew their attach- ment to our Sovereign, and their sympathy of feel- ing on the sad event of the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of York. As a Prince, and one filling a high public station, he passed the career of his life both with credit to himself and with honour to the nation. No individual could have fulfilled all the arduous nnd difficult duties of his public situation, one of the greatest importance to the country, with more exactness and with more impartiality, as Commander- in- Chief, than his late Royal Highness; long, very long, will the British soldier mourn his loss. As a friend to the arts and sciences, his loss will be felt : but stiil deeper will that loss be deplored by those poor mortals who suffer in this world under the severe lash of misery aud distress; for ever open was his kind heart to the prayers of the affiieted. Generosity, au open frankness, and a steadiness in friendship, were the most prominent qualities of his character.' Well, indeed, then, may the nation condole with him who, by the near and dear ties of consanguinity, has lost such a brother and such a friend. To the nation, the late Duke of York's death is in every sense a loss; but this affliction may be felt more severely now, in these times, when we 6ee the gradual but progressive steps which are makicjj towards the overthrow of those barriers, which our ancestors thought it wise to establish for the security of our Protestant Church; for his late Royal Highness, with the true constitutional principles which called his family to the throne of these realms, boldly came forward and declared his decided hostility to those measures which the Catholics are striving to effect for their emancipation,— firmly believing, as the majority of Protestants do,, and 1 trust long may, that such measures are fraught with danger and hazard to the existing fabric of our constitution in church and state. As a firm and steady sup- porter ofthe Protestant principles, we must mourn our loss in the late Duke ; but let us not despair ; tcc have every confidence in our King / and let us hope that his Royal Brother, who now succeeds to fill tho proud station of heir apparent to the throne of these kingdoms, will follow the example of hie deceased brother, in upholding those principles which must ever unite in the bonds of affection the illustrious house of Brunswick and the British nation. To say that the illustrious Prince who3e decease we deplore was, as a man, perfect, im- maculate, without fault, would be absurd; with the human frailties common to our nature, he may have transgressed the strict rule of rectitude; but his very many good actions will far counterbalance his faults, and shed a lasting lustre and respect over his memory ; to add to which, let us hasten then to present a proper address of condolence to our Sovereign, as the proof of our sympathy and regret for the illustrious deceased. The Rev. R. KEWCOME, the worthy Warden, seconded the motion, in a neat aud impressive speech.— The Rev. Gentleman took occasion to eulogise the character of the late lamented Duke, ill regard to the very great and lasting benefits whieh he had conferred en his country by the exemplary and efficient manner in which he pro- moted the interests ofthe military service a » Com- mander- in- Chief; aud wilh great justice observed, that from the high state of discipline to which he had brought the army, and the great discrimination aud impartiality which he had exercised in the selection of its commanders, the great and decisive victory of Waterloo was mainly attributable, and the deliverance of Europe was undoubtedly the glorious consequence of that splendid achievement. The address was carried unanimously; and a resolution was entered into ( amougst others) that it should be entrusted to the care of Mr. West, to be presented to his Majesty. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. FOR DISPOSAL, AT J.

By promoting gentle Expectoration, it very shortly relieves the Patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few Doses are generally sufficient lo remove those which Neglect lias rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and otherserious Symptons.

ATB SIR JOHN COX HIPPISLEY, AND BISHOP MILKER.—( From the Bristol Journal. J- A letter has appeared in the columns of our Mon- day's cotemporary, signed Francis Edgexcorth, in which, we apprehend, our readers wiil agree with us, a very weak and vain attempt is made to con- tradict the assertion ofthe relatives of Sir John Cox Hippisley, that he did not send for a Roman Catholic Priest to attend him in his last illness. Being un- avoidably absent from home, we have not been able to communicate with the Baronet's family, from whom we received the contradiction; and we are therefore Unable so fully to reply to the writer as we hope to do in our next Journal. The son of Sir John has, however, already replied to one Catholic Priest, who, like Mr. Edgeworth, has called in question the accuracy of Sir John's relatives; and this reply must for this week'satisfy Mr. E. We cannot, however, resist informing our readers in the interim, that Mr. Edgeworth asserts, that the Priest that was sent for by Sir John was the " Rev. Mr. Devereux, the respected Catholic Ordinary of Newgate," und that the messenger employed was Mr. Bishop, " a well Anoum member of the Police establishment in London!!" As Mr. Edgeworth asserts that these gentlemen can verify the facts on oath, we trust that he will request them to do so ; not forgetting to specify the words of the message, and : he express purpose for which Sir John wished for the presence of tire Catholic Clergyman. Mr. Edgeworth's comments upon our Editorial remarks shall also be fully replied to. The following is a copy ofthe letter to which we allude, addressed to the Editor of the Bath Chronicle :— " To'Jke Editor of the Bath Chronicle. U SIR,— it VT as only upon my arrival here yester- day, that 1 read, in your Paper of last Thursday, Mr. Brindle's letter. " That gentleman is, I understand, a Catholic Priest, and whatever the language of his letter may deserve, I ow e it to the profession to which ho belongs, to reply to him in decorous terms. *' i deny that a Catholic Priest was sent for to attend my father during his illness ; and equally do 1 deny, that auy Calholic Priest, as such, was denied admittance to him, either by myself, or by niv orders ; though it certainly may have happened, when mv father became too ill to continue to see his friends that a Calholic Priest tnay have been excluded among the number. " This is my reply to Mr. Brindle; hut lest the shadow of suspicion might yet attach to * one' whose memory I must ever honour and revere, I declare that there is not the slightest foundation for the assertions end insinuations of these Reverend Gentlemen. My father died as he had lived — a Member of the Estab- lished Church. " I reuiuiir, Sir, your obedient humble servant. " J. STUART HIPPISLEV." " Melis Park, Jan. 15, 1827." PROGRESS OF THE REFORMATION.— On Sun- day, the 21 st inst. thirty- six persons— namely, fifteen men and twenty two women, late professing Roman Catholics, renounced the errors of Popery in the Church of Cnvau. On the same day one man and eight women abandoned their former failh in the Church of Ballyhaist— which, with three on the pre- ceding Sunday not formerly announced, make llie number twelve: so that the persons who have con- formed in Ihe County of Cavan, since the Sib of October, amounts to the number of Four hundred and serenty- two. A genteel dressed female, about CO years of age, is in custody at Birmingham, charged with uttering counterfeit half sovereigns at Handsworth, Edg- baston, and Astou. Oil Saturday, the 20th inst. was gathered from an asparagus bed, made in the spring of 1804, in the garden of Mr. James Whitehoiise, of Walsall, a cluster of mushrooms, weighing upwards of 141bs. They were kept a few days as a curiosity, and then divided amongst, that gentleman's friends, who agree they were far superior to those raised on mushroom beds, and very little inferior to those produced in the proper season ; on examining the bed, it appears great quantities, must have rotted unperceived, as the top of it was become a complete pulp. UNI- RECEDF. NTED CIRCUMSTANCE.— A cow, be- longing to Mr. Swindells, of the Pack- horse inn, Longport, on Wednesday produced prematurely a fine calf: on the following morning she had another : and in the afternoon she calved three more— making, in the whole, jlrc calves: none of them, however, are living, notwithstanding the cow is doing well. This is, perhaps, one of the most singular facts on record. This week has been dispensed to the poor of the borough of Stafford, the bounty of the celebrated and ingenious " lzaak Walton," who was a native of the place, and who bequeathed a portion of " the rents and profits of a farme" to the purchase of coals " for some poor people," to he delivered ill January or February ; " 1 say then," run the words of the humane testator, " because 1 take that time to be the hardest and most pinching times with poor people." The farm in question is now of considerable value, bringing in we believe about £ 80 a year; and after deducting a moiety of the profits directed to be applied to the apprenticing of two boys, and in a gift to a maid servant or some honest poor man's daughter, a sufficient sum has this year remained for the purchase of a small allowance of coal to almost every poor family, which has this week been distributed.— Staffordshire Advertiser. Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, complaining of Ihe effects of the late alteiations in llie Navigation Laws, were unanimously agreed to al a meeting of tlie Liverpool Ship owners' Association on Thursday se'nuight, Mr. Robert Gladstone in Ihe chair; aud Messrs. J. B. Yates and W. VV. Mortimer were de- puted to proceed to London on the re- assembling of Parliament, to forward the object of the petitioners.— Liverpool Commercial Chronicle. Affair of Honour in High. Life. As a matter, that lately has drawn much attention, ' Twixt John Bull, Esquire, und one Monsieur Crapaud, Is still undecided, we think right to mention The leading particulars, far as we know. The dispute ( like a duel, some twenty years hack*) Began about dogs — in a way much tbe same ; — Old Crapauil's iloy, Scamp, having made an attack On the dog of ' Squire Bull, Constitution bv name. Constitution, a sprightly young pup, thorough. bred, Having u Bull" on his collar, v. as let to run free; While- Scamp iu a leash bv his master was led, Like those lap- dogs we oft iu the Tuuilleries see. No sooner bad Scamp, hy a snap at tlie pup, In his old lurcher fashion, committed the breach, Than the blood of ' Squire Bull iu au instant was up, Aud be made ( as report says) a dev'l of a speech ; In which, nothing sparing bis bigh- pepper'd phrases, He cursed and lie foamM at the cur- dog* « invasion ; Talk'tl much about " - Mollis"—" fcederis casus"— And other Dog- Latin, befitting tli' occasion; And said ( fhougli for this he soon made an excuse), That, if the Mounseer didn't pull in his tether, He'd let all tbe bull- dogs in Christendom loose, And demolish both Scamp and bis master together. On hearing this speech, Crapaud made a low bow — Acknowledged, like Lauiiee, that his dog was a had one,; And vow'd, if he dared hut to utter " bow- wow," Mr. Bull might, at once, hang liini up as a mad one. This was all mighty fine — but, to folks who stood near, It was plain that, whatever old Crapaud might speak, He and Scamp were alike, for they saw" that Monnseer, All the while that he spoke, bad his tongue in his cheek. And, still as bis mongrel return'd to the fray. In watching his hands, they perceived that, with one, He affected to draw the base lurcher away, White, with t'other, he slily kept patting hiin on.

RESURRECTION MFN.— Nottingham, Jan. 27.— It. is with indescribable feelings of distress that Be record ail event, which has excited such agony and distraction of mind as we never saw surpassed, oc- casioned by the discovery of the unholy spoliation of the grave, to an extent which has involved hun- dreds in the most bitter mental wretchedness. It appears that three wretches, whose names are said to be Giles, alias Smith, Holland, alias llollis, and Vernon, have, for the three last months, taken part of the premises of Mr. Buliivant, the dyer, on the Leeu bridge, where they have carried on a business of the most disgustful and abhorrent kind during that period, in a manner and to an extent hardly conceivable. It has been remarked, that Giles has been very assiduous in rendering his services at the many funerals which take place in the burial grounds of St. Mary's parish, aud in pretended commiseration, with the mourners, lias learnt the nature of tiie diseases of which their relatives have died ; and it is now discovered, that ail this was done with the view to ascertain such particulars re- specting the deceased, as might enable him to make a selection of those best suited to his . object of transmitting to the schools of anatomy in Loudon. On one occasion, we are informed, lie actually visited a poor woman, whose son lay dead in the house place, and in commiserating her situation, obtained a sight of the corpse in the coffin. Ham- pers containing corpses, had been sent to London by Pickford's van, until their number at length excited suspicion; and Mr. Wii'te, the book, keeper, refused receiving the next that was brought on Thursday moruiug'iast, uuless the person bringing it would open aud show him its contents; this was refused, on the ground that it was necessary to obtain t'-: permission of the owner; but he who brought it promised to go and ask his master's consent. Mr. White, with great propriety, privately ordered a man to follow him and watch his motions. As soon as the messenger reached his employer, they made preparations for immediate flight; and though efforts were made to detain them, they escaped and have hitherto eluded capture. Upon opening the hamper, the bodies of a woman and child were discovered ; and the offenders were at once known to bo what are called Resurrection Men. The corpses were now removed to the Guard- house ; and on Friday they were recognized as those of persons very recently interred. In a moment the most distressing anxiety oppressed Ihe minds of thousands for the safety of the bodies of their relatives and friends ; while William Davies, generally called Friday, the parish grave- digger, was sent first to the Police- office, and afterwards to the House of Correction, on suspicion of being concerned in the transaction. At this time the scene of human suffering be came intense. Mothers were wailing for the suspected loss of their husbands and children's remains — daughters for tho^ e of their parents— and fathers, husbands, and sous, with pick- axes and spades, were seen running to the different cemeteries to satisfy their minds on a poiut of so much interest. No description can adequately re- present the wild and moving expressions of aug'uish shewn on this occasion; and never did sorrow bring with it deeper sympathy and commiseration from those who beheld it. None oould look on the scene with indifference or unconcern, und surely never was a higher and more refined sense of feel- ing called forth utid exhibited among any class of people. It would be impossible to pourtray many ofthe really distressing scenes, as the coffins were explored and found empty. One individual, who, about a month since, buried two children, found on opening the grave that the bodies were both gone; and another person, we are told, has actually set out for London to try to recover the body of his son. Saturday and Monday were occupied iu the mournful task of opening the graves; and the groups of people who stood round while the men were occupied in digging, presented a melancholy spectacle. Dr. Wiikins, the vicar, was feelingly engaged throughout the whole time in associating himself and his feelings with every party of mourners. He gave orders from the first, at the earnest intreaties of tiie applicants, that such graves might be opened aa the nearest relative might desire, provided it were done in the sight of relatives, or in that of any other person appointed by them. At the same time he used alibis per- suasion to make them abandon a desire which might only aggravate their feelings; but they were such feelings as could not be allayed but by actual investigation. No less a number than thirty- four bodies were discovered to have been removed; and although reports were in circulation that some of these had been interred for several months, nay years past, in no authenticated in- stance have any been missing among those buried previous to the 3d November.— The premises taken by the guilty parties of Mr. Buliivant con- sisted of a cart- lodge, a stable, and a very extensive building, one half of which is very dull, and the other partitioned off from it, lighted by sky- lights; hither the bodies were broug'ht and packed in hampers, or in boxes, which were uHo here fabri- cated upon a principle suited to the purposes of securing their contents, and admitting of empty cases being returned for future service. These- boxes, into £ hich were compressed bodies of a larger size than could have been supposed, were very closely joined, with tops fastened down with screws; besides these, were baskets of thick work- manship, adapted to the reception of the body of a child. These hampers, boxes, and baskets' were taken, some to Messrs. Pickford's office, others to the house of call, some put upon coaches passing' by, and many others placed in a cart were driven to various places upon the public roads, and left to be forwarded to their destination by any suitable conveyance. The grave- digger, Davies, has under- gone a variety of examinations before the Magis- trates, but nothing has been brought hoiac to him, — Nottingham Journal. 11 is in contemplation lo establish a Spring Meeting al Warwick upon a similar plan lo the late November Races. It has already received most powerful sup- port from the leading sporting characters in Leaming- ton anil ihe neighbourhood, and others connected wilh the Warwickshire hunt. T he first meeting is to take place on the 14th of March next, on which oc- casion Sir Lofl us Ol way, William Hav, Esq Stubln Wijhlvvick, Esq. and Henry Greene, Esq. have kindly, consented to officiate aa Stewards. There will be ii Leamington Stakes of five sovereigns each, for horses' mil thorough bred, the properly of » eu! b m.- n resident nt Hint place; and lo Ibis stakes there arc already seventeen subscribers. There will also be a forced Handicap of ten sovereigns each, nnd. a Fanners' Cup of fifty sovereigns in specie, for horses mil ihorouuh brefl, and that bsvebeen regularly hunted al leasi seven times wilh the Warwickshire hounds lliis season. On Friday evening a Jury was solum - led and awotn at tiie Peacock, iu IVoiverham'pion, by Henry Sm th, Esq. one of the Coroners for ihe county . of Stafford, lo enquire into Ihe eircumeiances connected with the death of Mr. Joseph Fletcher, a respcemhlc baker, in Dudley. Mr. Fletcher, it appears, left his house oil horseback, ou Wednesday last, in the middle of the day, and attended Wolverhampton market. He was seen ill I ha I town about nine o'clock iu the evening,: having about him a considerable sum of money, and the next morning he was found dead, wilh nothing in bis pocket except a silk handkerchief aud Iliree gloves, iu a ploughed field more llian a mile from Wolver- hampton, and uot in Ihe direction of his home. We ure informed that there are no inaiks of violence on his person sufficient to occasion death. He had not taken his liurae from tbe stable into which he first pot It when lie arrived at Wolverhampton — After the Coroner and the jury had taken a vie. v of the l>. dv, Ihe inquest wns adjourned till Tuesday morning. The case is involved in great mystery. Mr. Fletcher was about f) f) years of age, and bas left n w idow and seven children. He was universally esteemed' for his social and generous disposition. MOD EUN REFORMERS— THE GREEK COMMITTEE. [ From No. LXlX. of the Quarterly Review We are weary of exposing folly and imposture, aud shall conclude by a few remarks oil the compo- sition of the famous body which has betrayed the Greeks. The gentlemen who composed it are not obscure. They are principally of that class of politicians who think every tiling in all the govern- ments in the world wrongly managed. Sonie of them, theorising deeply, unsettle the foundations nf all society, and shew themselves on paper the only persons qualified to fabricate a consiste. it and well-, working system of human affairs. For this set of gentlemen nothing is too large or too small. Their eye, we shall not say in a fine frenzy, but certainly in a grand inspiration, rolling;, glances from polo to pole— ' Hydaspes, Indus, and the Ganges, Hope from their hands impending changes.' With the old limits ofthe world, aa laid down by Dr. Johnson, from China to Peru, they are quite at home— and, indeed, some of the set have written constitutions for both these extreme regions. The interests of mankind three thousand years ago, aud three thousand years hence, are equally matter for their care. Their souls burn with indignation at the tyrannous feats enacted in the days of King Sardanapalusv a id are only not angry with Pharoah because the objects of hit persecution were idiots who believed in God. They can tell you to a frac-. lion what was aud is the cause of the " out- of- joint- edness," as one of their patriarchs might express himself, of the world in al! ages, viz. a want of annual parliaments and universal suffrage. In tha year A. D. 2826— if, indeed, a numeration dating from such origin will be: continued in the philosophic days of a thousand years hence, when infanticide and such noble devices are recognized among the institutions of a sound and liberal polity— in that happy era the possession of these boons will have set all tilings right. But though thus ample is their vision, it is equally searching and minute, combin- ing In itself the powers of the microscope and tha telescope. The same genius that moulds the pre- sent aud future affairs of thehuinan race, and shews how those of the past ought to have been moulded, arranges with equal felicity the dovetailing of a ballotiing- box, aud the minute classification into 79 classes, and 051 sub- sections, of the inmates of a jail. The same powerful intellect is at once occu- pied with a plan for upsetting an ancient dynasty, and infusing new thoughts and feelings by a species of mental'electricity, at oue flash, into a population of millions, anil with devising an infallible method by which a turnkey over his muffins cart prevent a three- quarter highwayman from corrupting the innocence of a seven- eighth pickpocket. Under the sway of these great philosophers, nothing can be wrong. They have checks and balances which prevent aberration, great or small. The regularity of the steam- engine is nothing to their method of managing mundane things. A blunder cannot be committed under their eyes— evil intention has no room to produce mischievous effects, for hy their system they have quite conquered and tamed the usual passions and propensities of man : as fur deceit bei g practised upon them—- why, il is impos- sible; as well might one think of deceiving tha consulting gods. That other administrations go wrong, is nothing to the purpose— they were, and are, ail wicked and corrupt. Our king- philosophers will not allow them even the poo^ excuse of acci- dent to palliate casual error. These more than eastern wizards say that they have erred, aud that is enough. Having erred, they must have erred through wickedness— at all events from the palpa- ble and inexcusable villainy of not calling ill tha counsel of the- sage men of " checks." And then they write— ye gods, how they do write-!— how mathematically they demonstrate the particular blunder which deforms the fair face of things! Phillidor never could have talked more technically ofthe motions of his ivory combatants than they do of the movements of real men- And occasionally how oracular! Apollo thundering dowu the Lox- ian steep was never in his best day superior to them, either in the certainty of his matter, or the obscurity of his style. Calumniators of old accused the god of barbarism, and of want of knowledge of tha tongue lie used— the calumniators of the present day accuse his rivals in oracle of something- of the same kind ; but they, of course, ure not to be listened to. These eminent men are walking encyclopedias in matters of detail. They know every thing, froin the movement of an army to the price of a pair of shoes for its tiniest drum- boy— and from the speci- mens we have seen, are equally able to manage the one as to supp*. the other. How valuable must not have been the assistance of statesmen who had proved, even iu spite of Cocker, that the English army was mismanaged— the English navy misma- naged— the English revenue boards mismanaged— the English treasury mismanaged— the India Com- pany, in all its details and ramifications, mismanaged •— in short, all wrong— in money, materiel, every thing! Who could anticipate mistakes from them r Great at^ nifals who so sternly castigated our Lords of the Admiralty for allowing a wrong nail to be driven in a fleet of a thousand ships, how easy it must have been for them to manage a couple of steam- boats! Noble financiers who looked with an eye of scorn on an erroneous sixpenny item in a revenue of some fifty millions— how simple to them it must have appeared to manage something less than n hundredth part of that sum ! And yet—. how- shall we say it? The thing is mismanaged after all. ' I'iie checks of the philosophers have been in vain—[ the classification of human motives has been unavailing— financial knowledge beyond calculation is battled—. minute accuracy of attention to accoa. it:* is de facto deceived. The utmost that the wisest of maukiud can urge to save themselves from the charge of deliberate rog- uery and unparalleled meanness, is, that they— they merciless on the errors of others — Were taken in! Shades of Swift and Cervantes, where do you linger? If, lika Ossian* s heroes, you float upon the clouds, how loud must have been the cachinnutiou along thu firmament! These, then, people of England, are the men whose aspiration it is to manage the great interests of this empire—- they ! who cannot manage a hand- ful of cock- boats! And it is to them the financial concerns of millions on millions are to be handed over— to them! who cannot be trusted with one fiftieth part of one year's revenue without being suspected.'

SPAIN AM) PORTUGAL. The expectation of the country, in consequence of sending out troops to Portugal, has been raised to so high a pitch, that we are inclined to feel disappointed because no immediate efleets have followed their debarkation at Lisbon. The expedition with, which the different regiments were summoned from their peaceful quartei", and sent off to the Peninsula, was greater than on any previous occasion, and when such dispatch was considered necessary for the preservation of our ally, it was natural to expect that some events would have occurred indicating the necessity of the haste with which our troops were forwarded to the scene of action. No occurrence of particular import- ance has, however, taken place since the first irruption of the rebels, which was followed by the taking of Braganza. This circumstance may be regarded as highly favourable lo the Constitutional cause, which has assumed a steadier position from the check the rebels have received in their attempts lo advance. When Ibe intelligence first reached this country lhat tbe Portuguese deserters, under the Marquis of Chaves, in Ibe north, and other bodies towards the south, had entered Portugal, accompanied by Spanish Guerillas, and armed by Spanish authority— that on the first encounter with the Government forces the laiter had been routed, and afterwards gone over to the enemy— when we found that one of the chief cities had fallen into their hands without attempting a defence, and that the insurgents in the north had advanced to Mirandella, without opposition, and were daily augmenting their numbers— it did appear that no time was to be lost, if succours from this • country were to be sent, and it s even imagined that, expeditiously as our troops were embarked, the fate of Portugal would be decided before their arrival on the shores of that country. But it appears that after tbe first panic bad subsided, aud when the peo- ple perceived the Constitutional Government taking active measures to suppress the revolt, the insurgents found they had obstacles lo contend with, occasioned by the hatred the inhabitants felt at their proceedings, which they had not calculated upon. The pillage and outrages committed by the rebels in those towns they had taken, must have excited the animosity of every person of property or respectability, whether they favoured or. were opposed to their polit ical views ; and from that time their progress in the north has been stopped. In the centre of the country the Por tuguese rebels have possessed themselves of Viseu and Almeida, but they are represented as flying before the Constitutional forces wherever pursued, and to have been defeated in several skirmishes. The English troops continued at Lisbon when the lasl dispatches were sent from that city. The conduct of Spain continues very unsatisfac- tory, and Ferdinand is endeavouring to avoid coming to an open rupture with this country as long as po Bible, though his equivocating manner clearly shows what bis views are respecting Portugal. Pressed by the English ambassador on one hand to an acknowledgment of the Const notional Charter, aud urged by the Roman Catholic Priests on the other not to permit the exist* nee of such a liberal government, his situation is not an enviable one. The revenue of Spain is said to be merely nominal, owing to tbe diflScu. by of col eoting- taxes from an impoverished people, and the funds with which Ferdinand has been equipping his a army of observation," aud furnishing materials o waifare to tbe Portuguese, are said to proceed from the coffers of the priest*. President's Message. A Correspondent of the Cheltenham C'hr& nicle, says—" In explanation of the tone of that part of the President Adams's message which refers to the relations of commerce between the United States and Great Britain, I can put you in possession of, perhaps, something like a key. 1 affirm, then, that 1 in the most unfair manner possible, the feelings of the whole mass of the population of that inex- pressibly important country, are continually goaded to hostility against this government and kingdom. The feelings so put into motion, of necessity, react upon the American government, which periodically resolving itself into constituent principles, or, in other words, reverting to the people, cannot speak long together a different language from that dictated by the mass of the society through the Press, and their representative organs. Since the first assertion of their independence, which is just 50 years ago, it has been the custom in the United States, wherever three persons could be assembled together in every village, hamlet, or even house, if lonely situated, to celebrate the 4th of every July as the anniversary birth day of that act. The formula of the service is the reading the declaration of independence, which is always the first thing done, and which is gene rally followed by an oration, purely political and ceremonious. It is essential to state, for the benefit of those who are not aware of the nature of the contents of that paper ( the declaration), that it goes into a particular and specific enumeration of all the grievances suffered by the colonies before iheir separation, as the causes of war ; justifying their hostile acts and separation from the mother country, by this casus excideris: and as the language of ihis paper is by no means tame, a feeling of deadly and deep hostility to the name of England is annu- ally implanted. I have myself, when on the spot, complained of this yearly recital of wrongs as un- generous, arrcl calculated ad infinitum to be tearing open those wounds which time would have other- wise healed. The effect which this practice has upon the country people in the interior, or " in the back woods," as! it is termed, is astonishing: as a proof of it, no Englishman, and known as such, could possibly travel through the back part of Georgia or South Carolina without risking his life ; and the state of things in this respect is worse in Louisiana, where American and French prejudice is combined. 1 do consider it the duty of an English Minister for foreign affairs, to make it known to the government of the United States, that this country is aware that while this annual excitement of the feelings' of the A merican people is applied, permanently cordial relations cannot exist between the two countries. 1 may be able, perhaps, to throw some further light upon the hostile tone of the message towards Great Britain. Mr. Adams being now in the second or third year of the term for which a President is? usually elected, must naturally begin to feel solicitous to secure his re- election, which it would be a great loss of honour in him not to achieve. And I know of no one step he could take half so likely to effect his purpose, as by affecting hostility against England'. I say affecting, because, as a Statesman, he cannot aver that there has occurred any thing which can at all lea- d to war at present. 1 am sorry to be the pro. gnosticator of evil, in having further to observe, that the " rapid march" of intellect and civilization, which Com- merce has effected upon the whole face of the country, east of the Allhegany Mountains, will be every year unequally contending with the advancing prosperity, and paramount influence of the Anti- British Inland or Back States; and perhaps the increase of the manufacturing interest may have a similar tendency.. It is a mortifying fact to the Tenesseemen, the Indians, the Kentucfeymen,. the Illinoiscs, & c. that the sea coast has hitherto given Presidents to the Congress; and they say they will move Heaven and Earth, but that the next President shall be " ha7f horse, half alligator, and a little bit of the snapping turtle f which, pronounced with the true Kentucky twang, means every thing exalted and talented in human nature, viz.:—- Gne of their own distinguished back- woods'men. The opposing interests of the Western and Eastern ( or Atlantic and interior-) States thus developed, as a governing principle in the internal politics of the United States, afford satisfactory solutions to a great many facts which could not otherwise be accounted for; and be assured, that all the Inland States are unfavourable to Great Britain and her interests. Even the cotton growing States, as South Carolina, Georgia, Mobile, Louisiana, & c. are in a very partial manner only soothed by the transactions of com- merce; and now that the consumption of the staple of these States is declining in England ( cotton) and, a larger consumption made of it by France, and by their own manufacturers, the motives of the Ameri- cans for loving us wrill not become stronger. On the other hand, let the policy of France be what it may towards the United States, there is a leaning towards that country; a predilection in its favour, arising principally from recollections of the assist- ance derived from France during the revolutionary war; and from the circumstance of no jealousy or feelings of rivalry being entertained respecting her. I should be very sorry to be stigmatized as a croaker, or a gloomy prophetic herald of evil; but I resided in the United States, at one period and another, nearly twenty years; and I know that the politics and resources of that - astonishingly thriving country are not understood here; aud 1 feel, from the causes I have stated in the commencement of this article, that difficult as England finds it now to trim tbe balance of power in Europe, in half a century more she will probably have to meet the West in arms /" infer, that in this town and neighbourhood there has been no diminution in the increased consumption, which appeared so very evident in 1825. From February, 181&, when the ports of this conn- try closed against foreign importations of wheat for home consumption, to tbe 5th of January, 1826, the total imports of wheat into tbe kingdom from abroad amounted to 1,249,255 quarters; of this quantity, 439,811) quarters were exported ; 442,735 were released on payment of duty; 8.3", t? 83 ground into - flour, destroyed by fire, waste, and abstraction from the King's Locks ; and 282,818 quarters remained in bond. Deducting the exports since the 5> h of Ja- nuary, tbe total stock in the kingdom remainining in warehouse on the 1st of May, 1826, was 270', 688 quarters, which has been released on payment of duty ; so that il would appear that, since 1824, when the first infraction watf made upon the existing law, the total quantity of foreign wheat thrown upon the home. market,- exclusive of the sfupply from Canada ( aud including flour substituted for wheat equal to 19,921 quarters), amounts to 733,344 quarters'. 1 believe that the stock of wheat in the kingdom remaining in bond at the close of last year, and imported since May, 1826, does not exceed 490,000 quarters. I estimate that about 950,000 quarters of foreign oats have been brought upon the home markets of this kingdom, in pursuance of the Order in Council of the 1st September last. And although this is a much larger quantity than had been expected, owing to the reduced stocks on the Continent, ' yefj from the opinions so recently expressed by the best authority in this country as to the failure of our own spring sown crops, and of the deficiency of the oat crop in parti- cular, it seems probable that the quantity already imported, together with that which may yet come forward from the markets of the Continent, will nol compensate for the deficiency in our own growth of last year. . ... From Ireland the imports last year w- eve 9)> iffG01 quarters less than in the year preceding ; but having received 43,645 quarters of foreign, the total quantity imported into Liverpool in 1826 is about 52,255 quarters less than in 1825. All calculations bottomed on the continuance of the law of 1815, having been completely baffled by the innovations already made upon it, together with tbe uncertainly which prevails as to the views which it is the avowed intention of tbe advisers of the Crown to unfold next month, relative to the present laws ; it is almost impossible to form any correct opinion as to the future state of the markets. With regard to the past, I am satisfied prices were kept down in consequenee of the infringements made upon the existing laws; aud that bad it not been for those infringements, the ports of this country would have been open last year to importations of all sorts of grain and flour for home consumption, under ihe regulations of the act of 1815.

Chance, however, un- expectedly brought him under the notice of the Duke of York, in a situation at once novel and imposing, and eventually led to the accomplishment of bis only and still- fondly- icberished hope. In his early life, Mr, Drew was remarkable for his skill in horsemanship, and that now constituted his chief amusement. Ruling through the park one morning, be perceived the Com- mander- in- Chief and several of bis staff officers corning towards him in the ride. . Though mounted on a mettlesome and rather unmanageable animal, Mr. Drew placed the reins in his month, and, as the military cortege passed, he took off his hat, and grace fully saluted his Royal Highness, who was so struck, not only wilh the fine appearance of the " young veteran," but with the singularly elegant manner in which the Action was performed, that be desired one ofthe officers to inquire the gentleman's name, & c. The card of " Lieutenant Drew, half- pay/' was re- turned, and, by the Duke's desire, the young soldier was commanded to attend the next military levee at the Horse Guard?. It may be imagined that this mandate was joyfully complied with. Oo bis intro- duction to the Levee- room, Mr. Drew found himself surrounded by the first captains of the day, having their u blushing honours thick upon them11 An empty coat sleeve was the only trophy exhibited, by the unassuming half pay lieutenant ; but that proved a passport to the illustrious personage w ho pn sided in this group of heroes. After a formal introduction, the Royal Duke entered familiarly into conversation with MK Drew, as to the nature atid length of his service, and finally inquired whether he was satisfied with bis then situation'. Mr. Drew admitted that the remuneration was more than equal to his deserts, but, at the same trine, modestly hinted, that be had \ et an arm which could wield a sword in defence - f his King and country, a'nd that if hitf appointment to aetive service was compatible wilh military etiquette, he jyophl consider himself peculiarly favoured. The Conimahder- in. chief made no comment On this ad- dress at ihe moment, but the appointment of Mr. Drew to a company in tiie 84th foot appeared in the following Gazette. A respectable clergyman, who had long' laboured^ in his profession, being far advanced in years, having a very small life income, aud a very large family, was induced, by some accounts which he had heard of the great benevolence of the Duke of York,- to ap" ply to his Royal Highness for a commission for bis second son, a promising young man, who wished to serve his I King and country in the army. He mentioned to some of his friends his intention of making the appli- cation ; bul he was told that it mnst be in vain,- as several instances had then recently occurred of re- fusals returned to applications for commissions made , by persons who possessed political interest. Some of these instances were mentioned to him ; and bis in- tention to apply, though without any interest what- ever, was ridiculed. HE. replied to those who thus discouraged him, lhat still he would " trv his chance." Redid write the application, and sent it, accompanied; by respectable certificates of his excellent character, his clerical services, bis very narrow circumstances, his advanced years, and large family; and ofthe: fitness of his son for tbe situation solicited. He received, by return of pest, an answer, by order of the Duke of York, that his son should have a commission, and the young man's name appeared in the very next Gazette of military appointment's.— Evening Paper. The French Court wear mourning for the Duke of York eleven days. The six first days in black, the five last in white. The mourniug began on Thursday week. The beautiful grey horse on which the late Duke of York used to ride, and of which his Royal Highness was remarkably fond, is, by order of his Majesty, to be turned out to graze for the rest of his life.

As the state of the trade in Com is an extremely interesting subject al the present moment, the facts contained in the annexed annual circular from a mer- chant in Liverpool may be worthy of notice : — During the lasl five years, the total imports of wheat into this port, admissible for home consump- tion, were— In 1822, 319,300 quarters, of which 285,900 were imported from Ireland, and 33,400 from sundry British ports. In 1823, 246,000 quarters, of which 211,400 were iportcd from Ireland, and 34,600 from sundry Briliwh ports.

The last duties having been paid to the remains of his Royal Highness the Commander- in- Chief, the King deems it right to convey to the army a melan- choly satisfaction, which his Majesty derives from the deep feeling of grief manifested by every class of the military profession, in common with his people at large, under the great calamity with j which it has pleased the Almighty to affiici the j nation and his Majesty— a calamity which has deprived the Crown of one of its most valuable and distinguished servants, and his Majesty of a be* loved and affectionate brother. The King does not think it necessary to dwell upon the pre- eminent merits of the late Duke of York ; his Majesty knows that these are impressed and engraven on the hearts of his Majesty^ ssoldiers. His Majesty desires that it may merely be observed, that the able administration of the command held by his Royal Highness for a long series of years, his assiduous attention to the welfare of the soldier, his unremitting exertions to inculcate the true prin- ciples of order and discipline, his discernment in bringing merit to the notice of the Crown, and the just impartiality with which he upheld the honour of the service, have combined to produce results that identify the army as a profession, with the glory and prosperity of this great country, and which will cause his virtues and services to be in the grateful remembrance of the latest posterity. The King feels that, under the present afflicting circumstances, his Majesty cannot more effectually supply the loss which the nation and the army have sustained, than by appointing to the chief command of his Majesty's forces Field Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the great and distinguished General who has so often led the armies of the nation to victory and glory, and whose high military renown is blended with the history of Europe. By his Majesty's command, HENRY TORRENS, Adj.- Gen. AMERICAN PA CKET. The following description of the Birmingham, packet ship, one of the line of vessels regularly sailing between Liverpool and New York, may give some of our readers a different idea of sea- faring accommodation to that which is usually entertained by those who travel not the " trackless deep :"— " This vessel is one of the largest as well as one of tbe finest packet- ships cut of New York. Her external model is uncommonly handsome; her breadth of beam is great; and she looks majestic when careering in fall sail over the bosom of the deep. Handsome as is her external model, it is exceeded by the elegance, uot to say tbe splendour, which is displayed in her interior accommodations for passengers. " Come, Mr. Editor, give me yonr hand. Now, Sir, we are safely 011 the deck of this fine ship. There is a door, like the door of a private house, orna- mented with a brass knocker and a brass plate, 011 the latter of which is engraved " N. COBB." Let us knock, and ask for the captain. " Is Captain Cobb on board, steward?" ". No, Sir; he has just one ashore, but he'll be back immediately. Will 1822 1823 1824 iftie 1822 1823... 1824 1825 .... Qrs.

Some years ago, his Royal Highness being 011 a visit at the Earl of Westmoreland's seal in shut neighbourhood, a basket of fine figs was senl 10 Apcthorpe hy a gentle man at Oniidle, who knew that the Noble Earl had not any in his gardens. The messenger was 11 helpe in the stables of fhe gentleman at Onndle, and had formerly been a dragoon iu the army in France com munded hy the Duke of York. O11 his near approach lo Apelhorpe House, the Duke passed him in h carriage: his Royal Highness immediately recognised him, and stopped bis carriage, and said, ( t I know lull, my man*" * Yes,' said the old soldier, * anil I know your Royal Highness: 1 was your orderly when 1 was in the - regiment, lighting under yon i France.' 11 Good fellow," added the Duke, 11 I re member you ; call on me to- morrow." The lasl time his Royal Highness had seen him was a great man years before: the man had been wounded in several places, and when lie got home was discharged on pension. The veteran, faithful to his appoiutmen called on fhe Duke next day at Apelhorpe, and was a first refused hy ttie footmen, who were astonished at his demand of seeing the Royal visitor ; but be knew loo well Ihe value of ohcdicr. ee to orders, nnd al length succeeded in his object. The. Commander- in Chief received him with kindness as an old companion in arms, gave him three guineas, and hy his con descending manner delighted poor Woodcock, who still living in Oundie, where he frequently relates th anecdote. A young and promising officer, named Drew, native of the county of Clare, in Ireland, who seivcd during the greater part of Ihe Peninsular campaig had the misfortune lo lose his left arm iu the memor hie battle of Salamanca, for which he was invalide with the half- pay of a Lieutenant, and compensation for the loss of Ihe limb which he left 011 tbat 11 biota ensanguined field." Mr. Drew was not one of those who love " inglorious case;" he pined nol for the arm but for his exclusion from Ihe field of " glorious strife." Soon after his return to England, he made several ineffectual applications lo be placed once mor on active service; offers were held out lo binrof commission in some of the veteran battalions, but ou walk below, gentlemen, and inspect our cabins?" We accept Ebony's polite invitation, and descend the steps. What a beautiful apartment we have entered! How elegant is the tout ensemble '. You are quite right, Mr. Editor : no room in the most costly palace on terra firma can exceed the cabin of this handsome ship 111 the simple elegance of its ornaments, or in the comfort of its accommo- dations for passengers. Just examine these pretty ttie berths. See how clean and how comfortable they are. They are considerably larger than those of some of the other packets: here we are not eabin'd, cribb'd, confin'd." The great breadth of the ship allows ample space for moving about with ease and comfort in one's berth. How elegant is the cabinet- work, and how tasteful the finish ofthe abin. Look ot that curiously constructed stove, placed at the bottom of the table, It will contain three gallons of water, which, being always hot, enables the steward to furnish you with a glass of whiskey punch at a minute's notice. Will you walk into the ladies' cabin, gentle- men ?" asks Ebony. If you please, we reply; whereupon he pushes back the two halves of a sliding door, made of mahogany, aud finely panelled and veneered, and ushers us into a cabin as elegant as a fair damsel's boudoir. A ! at* ge glass is before us, reflecting the different objects in the room; a couch is placed in a recess beneath, on which we may stretch our limbs; a Turkey carpet covers the floor; and the berths look quite tempting, as every hing belonging to a lady generally does. Yon seem, my dear Mr. Editor, quite lost in wonder and astonishment at the display of so much taste and elegance in the construction of a merchant vessel But here comes Captain Cobb. " How- do you do, captain ?" " Welcome 011 board my floating- hotel, gentlemen. Will you take a lunch before dinner?" he adds, wilh his characteristic politeness. The invitation is accepted. Down we sit to a comfortable repast, aud manage to gulp down between us a bottle or two of sparkling champaign. Having drank success to the Birming- ham and her spirited captain, we just examine tbe steward's closet, and are struck by the ingenuity which the architect has displayed in constructing it, so as to make it communicate with the deck by an entrance both distinct and distant from the princi- pal cabin. We then reach the deck, where the cow- house, the pigstie, the poultry- yard, attract our attention, and surprise us by the ingenuity displayed in the construction of places for the accommodation of living animals, on the deck of a ship which is exposed to the tempest and the storm in crossing the wide Atlantic Ocean." ns if a lubberly athletic fellow, 6 feet high, were to attempt to justify the violent chastisement of a crippled dwarf, in consequence of having been assaulted by him. Persia, on the other hand,- alleges that she is the aggrieved party; and the object of Mr. Willock's mission to this country is to satisfy the British Government of this fact. The consequence of such proof would be the demand for immediate assistance, as guaranteed by the treaty to which we have already referred. We admit the difficulty of the proof, and we are aware of the multifold considerations which would make us more inclined to assume the office of a mediator rather than thjrf of a protector. We are bound to assist Persia, in case of invasion ; but, as in the question of Portugal, our first efforts will be fo avert the necessity of assistance, by amicable interference between the belligerents. These efforts have not been wanting; with what effect they have been, or may continue to be, made, remains as yet undecided. It has been said, England is not bound to support Persia in any war she may choose to provoke by her own conduct. By the strict interpretation of treaties, England certainly is not bound to the ful- filment of such large and comprehensive obliga- tions; bnf, by considerations of general policy, she might find it difficult to escape from them. A long series of petty provocations, of unfriendly acts, of irritating circumstances, might he studiously persevered in, to goad Persia into a specific act of aggression, such act being a pretext anxiously desired, to give a plausible colour to meditated Schemes ef ambition. These provocations, too, might he so ambiguously contrived and executed, as to render it extremely difficult of demonstration that they bore the character of grievances. Lastly, this whole system of progressive and increasing injuries might be framed with special reference to the rela- tions known to exist between this country and Persia, so as to weaken, in the first instance, the claims of the latter, aud paralyze the interposition of the former. This? we say, is a possible case. But, supposing it now to exist, and in its most complicated shape ( which, however, we are far front admitting), then, we repeat," thegeneral policy of'the country would step in, to protect Persia from becoming a Province or Paehalic, as it were, of Russia." N'Sr British Minister would passively look on, and see Persia at the feet of Russia: and it is this imperative duty, imposed upon us by the' highest considerations of national policy, as well as of national interests, which brings us into collision with Russia, in the way glanced at by the second branch of the diffi- culties which we haye described as belonging to this question. Russia has always viewed, with undisguised jea- lousy, the ascendancy of English influence ill the Councils of Persia. She has not hesitated lo make it matter of formal complaint even,- at different periods, that tiie Persian troops are commanded by English officers, clothed in English uniforms, and supplied with English arms. A British officer, Major Hart, is Generalissimo of tiie Persian forces. The Physician ofthe Crown Prince ( Abbas Mirza), Dr. C'ormick, is an Englishman. Colonel Macdouald Kinneir, the British Charge d'affaires, was, at the date of the last advices, with the King of Persia, who was then about to proceed to the frontiers, to join the Crown Prince. In short, the whole ma- chinery ofthe Persian government is put in motion, immediately or remotely, by English agents and by English influence. It may be remarked, too, that, within a very recent period, all foreigners, except the English, were ordered to quit the Persian Territory. These are circumstances which disturb the repose of the Russian Cabinet, in its dreams of Eastern policy. They constitute a barrier, which, it is felt, must be overleaped or removed at 110 distant day. Already in the possession of this aseendancy, the slightest interference of England is viewed with increased jealousy and alarm ; aud her mediation is regarded with suspicion, as proceeding, not f'ruin a disinterested friend, but from an interested partisan. Her suggestions, consequently, are received with distrust; not because they are unfriendly or impo- litic, but because they are met by preconceived notions of their selfish origin. Under such circum- stances, the difficulties of mediation are great, if not insuperable. England, on the other hand, is lto stranger to the ambitious projects of Russia; nor does she conceal from herself the contingency, however remote, by which those projects may operate upou our Empire in the East. While we continue to hold Persia, as our fast and firm ally, all danger in that quarter is chimerical; but intrigue and open force, without positively increasing the danger, may reduce us to the necessity of onerous measures of prevention A Government like that of Russia, essentially mili- tary in all its principles, must always have a tendency to disturb the pacific relations of other States. Frequent wars, of some description or other, are among its necessities; they are the conditions of its existence. Hence the difficulty, at all times, of keeping such a Government within those boundaries which are necessary for the tran- quillity of surrounding nations. England has expe- rienced this difficulty on more than one recent occasion; and she will now have again to contend with it. It may enter into the calculations of Russian Statesmen, influenced by the policy of other Cabi- nets, as well as by the growing ambition of Russia herself, during the last half century, to exercise a controul over the politics of Western Europe, that the ascendancy of England in that quarter is suscep- tible of check, by playing off against her the interest she has at stake in the East. tWe are not prepared to affirm, positively, that the events now passing in the Peninsula, are complicated with those which are taking place ill Persia; but there are many things which would surprise us more, than to find the power of Russia thus put in motion, as an experiment, to divert our energies, and intimidate our policy, by those who dread the one, and cor- dially hate the other. The future, aud uot a very distant future, may disclose grave matters connected with this subject. The appointment of Lord Beresford to the Chief Command of the Portugese Constitutional army hac been confirmed. The Apostolicals in France have lately suffered sf severe blow. A petition from M. de Montlosier, against the Jesuits, presented to the Chamber of Peers, was met by a motion to proceed to the order ofthe day. This motion was defeated by a majority of 113 to 73, and the petition was ordered to be referred to the branch ofthe ministry to whose cog- nisance it belonged. I11 the course of the discussion, the cause of the Jesuits was defended by M. de Bonald and the Bishop of Hermopolis, but the great majority of the Peers seemed actuated by a strong feeling of hostility to that body— To persons unin- formed of the actual state of the French clergy, thi* feeling of hostility to one order in especial, among all the various orders of the Roman Catholic Church — the established Church of France, may seem a little extraordinary. But it is to be remembered tbat the Galliean Chnrch is the least Popish of all the Churches acknowledging the supremacy of Rome; and that the majority of tbe French people are, of all Roman Catholics, the least disposed to submit to the authority of the Pope.— Now ths Jesuits are," even more than other priests, the sworn servants of the mother tyranny ; compared with the French clergy they are not even Frenchmen. They are in fact to France ( and 110 illustration can more strongly express utter alienation and rancorous hatred,) what the whole body of our Popish clergy- are to the British empire. The hostility of the French Peers to these foreign incendiaries aud artificers of domestic slavery is therefore reasoUaTil'e and patriotic. We wish that sotne of our legislators were wise enough to profit by their example. THE UNDERTAKER.— A few days ago an under- taker was observed to shed tears at the interment of a quack. A friend asked him the cause of it.- " Why," said he, " you see 1 havejnst buried oue of my best friends." MAJOR CARTWRIGHT.— The following caustic analysis of the life of this gentleman, is from a review of his " Life and Correspondence," in the last number of the " Quarterly."—" Mr. Cartwright was born in 1740; entered the navy in 1758; iri 1759, was present aud behaved well at the battle between Hawke and Conflans: commanded a cutter 011 the Newfoundland station in YIC>@; went on half- pay and began to write pamphlets in 1770; was made Major of the Nottingham Militia in 1775 ; in 1776, declined serving at sea under Lord Hawe, because he disapproved of the American war; wa » dismissed from his Majority in 1792, 011 account of his repeated attendance at seditions meetings; and from that time down to the day of his death iu 1824,- was continually before the eyes ofthe public as tho most indefatigable, and, we may add, tlie most honest and the most imbecile of all the preachers of Radical Reform, Annual Parliaments, aud Universal Suffrage." FREE THINKERS.— The ease of Mr. Trotter,- who protested against being married according to the usual form, was noticed in our last.— In reference to Mr. Trotter's conduct, the St. James't Chronicle says —" Let the free-. thinking lovers seek Ihe services of a Scottish blacksmith, or n French intendant, to legalise their Wes. In this country we hallow the state of matrimony by a religious ordinance; because,, esteeming it the highest and holiest contract of which human beings are capable, we wish to blend our observation of its obligations with Religious feeling; and are wo to desecrate this Ceremony to accommodate tha caprice of every coxcomb, who chooses to fashion a religion and a law for himself?" fWssteUanmts Intelligence. ENGLAND A2NTB PERSIA. [ FROM THE NEW TIMES.] We stated, in the New Times of Saturday, that the difficulties attending the question between this country and Persia, might be said to divide them- selves into two branches; first, as relates to the obligations imposed upon us by the faith of treaties ; secondly, as relates to the obvious delicacy of our position with regard to Russia. The former of these difficulties involves princi- pally the following consideration :— Was the present war provoked by the aggressions of Persia or of Russia? If, as we are strongly inclined to believe, the whole conduct of the Russian authorities in Georgia, has been one series'of provocations, tend- ing to excite dissatisfaction and alarm 011 the part of Persia, the mere fact of hostile incursion, beyond a gratuitously assumed line of demarcation, would merge iti the superior consideration of the causes which induced such an incursion. Russia, we know, has asserted boldly that her territories have been invaded by Persia; and yet, when we look at the comparative power of the two Empires, to hear the former complaining; of an attack by the latter, is From the Brussels Papers we learn that the storm, which prevailed here 011 the 14th inst. raged with excessive fury along the Dutch and Flemish coast. The Wassenaeer, a 74- gun ship, which had sailed the day before, with more than 1000 men on board, for Batavia, was stranded off Egmond, and about 100 men perished. A great many other vessels, it is apprehended, have also been lost; but the damage was not confined to the coast, many houses having been unroofed at Bruges; and at Ostend, the inhabitants could not with any safety walk the streets, from the falling of tiles and chimnies in every direction. Windsor Castle was built in 1365 ; its Chapel in 1473; its college was founded ( now used for the Poor Knights, we believe), and the terrace was formed, iu 1587- The Chapel ( St. George's) was thoroughly repaired, and opened Oct. 17, 1790. The " Royal Vault," which is a free stone edifice, was built by Henry VH. as a burial place for him- selfand his successors; but he afterwards built, for a like purpose, Henry Vli.' s Chapel, Westminster; and, after having been attended to by Cardinal Wolsey, it was neglected till George HI. had it in some degree restored in 1800; and in 1810, it was prepared as a Royal dormitory. BAKING A MAN ALIVE!— At Surrey Sessions, H. Ciawton, a powerful young man, was indicted for an assault upon James Trotman, a master baker residing at Bermoudsey. The prosecutor stated that the defendant was his next door neighbour, and, in the course of business, contracted a debt with him, for which he frequently applied, but to 110 purpose. On Dec. 24 he entered the bakehouse, where he perceived the defendant silting on the steps of the cellar. The defendant immediately accosted him with " d— 11 your eyes, will you take any gin'" and immediately forced him " into the oven, which was then in its proper heat for baking. Witness made all the resistance he could, but was actually placed half- way into the oven, and his body was burnt in a dreadful manner. His cap was burnt completely from his head, and his shirt sleeves were also wholly burnt to a cinder, in consequence of this transaction. The prosecutor's servant cor- roborated his statement. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of £ 25 to the King, and to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of £ 50, and two sureties iu the sum of £ 25 each, to keep the peace for 2 years, SCAVF. NGERISM.— A gentleman, passing along Oldham Street. Manchester, last week, was not a little amused while he stopped to hear the termina- tion of a dispute between two scavengers, on the merits of street cleaning. After consitieVeiMe alter cation, however, the business was closed by one of the besom- men asking the other, " What do'st thou. know of sweeping? Thou'rt well enough for chan- nelling ; but thou'rt no where when it comes to a bit- o] fancy work— such as sweeping round a corr. er or' a stump f" MINING IN SOUTH AMERICA.—" At first we descended by an inclined gallery or level, atid then clambered down the uotched sticks, which are nsprt in all the mines in South America, as ladders. After descending about two huudred and fifty, walking occasionally along levels where the snow and mud were above our ancles, we came to the place where the men were working. It was astonishing to see- the strength with which they worked ; and, strange as it may appear, we all agreed that we had never seen Englishmen possess such strength, and work so bard. While the barreterors, or miners, wers working the lode, the apires were carrying tiie ore/ upon their backs; and after we had made the necessary observations, and had collected proper specimens, we ascended, with several of these apires above and below us. The fatigue of climbing up the notched sticks was so great, that we were almost exhausted, while the men behind us ( with a long stick in one band, in the cloven end of which there was a candle) were urging us not to stop them. The leading apire whistled whenever he came to certain spots, and then the whole party rested for a few seconds. It was really very interesting, ill looking above aud below, to see these poor creatures, each lighted by his candle, aud climbing up the notched stick with such a load upon his back, though I occasionally was a little afraid lest one of those above me might tumbfc,- iiv which case we should all have preceded- him in his fall."— Our countrymen may form some idea of what these poor people undergo, when they are told thai the load carried up these stick- ladders wa » of such a weight " that au English miner, who was one of the strongest men of the who> ie Cornish party, was scarcely able to walk with it," and two others, whoattempted to support it, were altogether unable, exclaiming that " it would break their backs." Yet the only food of these wretched native miners was a little dried beef and melted snow, water. The few who had been at work came into the but, to partake of this miserable meal; they never spoke to each other, but, as they sat upon their sheepskins ( their only bed), some fixed their eyes on the embers of a scanty fir -, while others seemed to be ruminating on their miserable lot. Yet these men were free labourers; what then must have been the condition of the enslaved Indians, who, under the old government, were thrust into these horrid dungeons, and compelled to labour at this worst of all drudgery! " They were," as Captain Head says, " beasts of burden who carried very nearly the load of a mule. Their unrecorded sufferings," ho adds, " were beyond description, and I have been assured, from unques- tionable authority, that, with the loads on their backs, many of them threw themselves down the mine, to end a life of misery and anguish!" Well may lie say, that the mode in which the precious metals of America were first obtained, " forms one of the most guilty pages iu the moral history of man."— Quarterly lieviexv on Travels in Bucnost Ayres and Chile.
