Imposture Unmasked. rinn E progress of Merit, though frequently .$ L assailed, is not impeded hy Envy and Detraction. The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object — public approbation. The lest of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has estab lished WARREN'S BLACKING in general estimation, of which there exists not a stronger pronf than the tacit cknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, wdlo urreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious pre paration as the genuine article, to Ihe great disappoint ment of tbe unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest by ibis iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to C AUTION TIIE PUBLIC against Ihe manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to lose, and stimu- lated hy avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a short direction, with the signa- ture, Robert Warren. All others are counterfeits ; and in many instances the imposition labels are artfully interlined with a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of41 No. 30," and 44 STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base fabrications of VVARREN's BLACKING lo return the detected trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of ras- cality to merited obloquy. WARREN's BLACKING is surpassingly brilliant; • it excludes damp; gives pliancy to the leather; re- tains ils pristine virtue in all climates; and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally of indis- pensable fashion and utility.

FOR COUGHS. Pectoral Essence of Coltsfoot. nnnF, Herb COLTSFOOT has long been I_ distinguished for its excellent Properties in the Cure of Coughs and other Pulmonary Complaints • and this Essence has, in the Course of a long Practice, been found the most safe and effectual Remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives Liberty of Breathing, without any Danger of taking Cold, and thus it affords great Relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the Tickling which provokes frequent Coughing, cleanses the small Glands, relaxes the Fibres, and thereby enlarges the Cavities of the Vessels.— Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals Rawness and Soreness of the Chest. This Pectoral Essence is prepared by JAMES RYAN, Surgeon, in Bristol ; and sold in Bottles at - 2s. 9( 1. aud 3s. 6d. each, hy F.

John Cooper, from these very appropriate word?, Deuteronomy 15, v. ] i, u For the poor shall never cease out of the laud j therefore I command thee,! saying, thou shall open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land."— The worthy Minister began by explaining the nature of the distress under which the working population existed. He pointed out in the strongest terms the wretchedness of its feature*,— the places where it wast most prevalent,— and considered the means of . re- ducing it. During: the course of his sermon he read several of the best authenticated statements of want and misery. The Reverend Divine then reminded his congregation that those objects which now excited their compassion were beings of their own country— fellow- creatures! Shall England-, said he, who has extended the hand of her benevolence to every part of Europe and the World, now be wanting to relieve the distresses of her own offspring ? Surely not! Let me beg of you to consider the goodness of God in exempting this populous parish from those calamities which pervade most of the manufacturing district!. He then held up to their admiration, iu language which will ever be remembered by those present, the condescending liberality of our most gracious Sove- reign, in becoming: the patron of so laudable an undertaking, » ud his benevolence, iu relieving from his own private purse the distresses ofhis people. It becomes more deeply our duty, said he, to follow his most glorious example, when we reflect upou ihe recent death of one of the members of the Royal Family, whose memory will ever be held in the dearest estimation. He concluded with ft very moving ap- peal to the hearts of all present, and exhorted them to cultivate the virtues of charity and benevolence; and as the choir commenced with fhe concluding hymn selected for the occasion, many were the tear of commiseration; aud there were few whose breasts did not throb with a sympathetic sigh. Tiie con- tributions were in unison with lhat liberality for which this parish has been long and deservedly ceie hrated, amounting to upwards of £ 32.— The Sermon in the evening was preached by the Rev. William Yate, from Psalm 41, v. i, " Blessed is he that con- sider th the poor ; the Lord will deliver him in tune of trouble;" and the discourse was delivered in a most impressive manner. hi hi* Absence N.

Custom called for an Address of this nature; but on the present occasion, he was gratified in knowing that in reference to the late calamity, and the proposed Address, the hearts of all present would respopd as the heart of one man.—( Cheers. J Colonel WINGFIELD said—" Mr. Mayor, and Gentlemen, I have been requested to come forward on this occasion to move an Address to His Majesty, to condole with him on the lamented event of the death of His late Royal Highnes3 the Duke of York ; and I much regret that the office has not fallen into the hands of those more capable of doing- justice to the merits of that much revered Prince whose loss we ure now met to deplore. Having, however, had the honour of serving His Majesty during some years whilst His Royal Highness filled the important station of Commander- in- Chief, 1 may be permitted to make a lew brief observations. 1 will not dis- parage the service by drawing a comparison ofthe state of our Army before his Royal Highnesu took the command of it, with that state, to which, under his auspices, it has since attained. It did, at the former period, doubtless contain the materiel— Ihe elements— of that perfection to which it has since arrived. A long continuation, however, of an er- roneous system, had produced those defects, which it was his peculiar study to remove; and nothing' but a continuance of devoted attention and super- intending watchfulness could have established and perfected that improved system which has been long the admiration of this and other countries. That this improvement is owing to the exertions of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, wehave the testimony of soldiers of every rank ; and a Noble General, of whom this country— and this county— has so much reason to be proud, would, if he were present, confirm what 1 now say ( Cheers.) Of the public character of His Royal Highness, in other points of view, or ofhis private virtues, it becomes me not to speak : yet I may be allowed to say, that no Prince ever by his conduct more conciliated aud commanded the attention and respect of al! ranks of Society. IJnder these circumstances I b g leave to move, that this meeting unite In an Address of Condolence to His Majesty oil the lamented death of his late Royal Highness; and I am sure that the ex pression of such a general feeling must- prove t source of satistaciion and comfort to His Majesty, under a deprivation from which no rank is exempt, and under a visitation which alike fall* upon the highest and the lowest station.-—;' Cheers. J The Address was then read bv the Town Clerk THOMAS LOXDALE, Esq.— See Adv. EDWARD BURTON, Esq. said, " Mr. Mayor, and Brother Townsmen,—- I rise to second the motion for adopting the Address just now moved and read at this meeting, which I do most' heartily aud most cordially from a conviction, after forty years of close residence amongst you, that in no doing, i am acting iu unison with the feelings and wishes of my fellow townsmen, who, on all occasions, evince that it is the general desire of the inhabitants to shew - and pay every respect in their power to al! the Royal Family, and their firm attachment and adher- ence to the Crown. ( Cheers. J On the late melan- choly event, nothingcould more manifest the general sense of the people, than the universal solemnity which prevailed through all ranks, and by shutting up every shop, and even many houses, during the whole of the day of the funeral. In private life, whenever we are bereaved of those who are deal- to us, nothing soothes and alleviates the anguish of surviving relations and friends so much a » the sin- cere condolence of those who were known and attached to the deceased; and although few here might be known personally to. the late Duke of York, yet, as a public man, he was known lo ail of us ; and in proportion as such condolences operate in private families, they cannot but prove acceptable aud consoling to him whom we are now assembled to address. Of the late Duke of York, you know, he was brother to our present gracious Sovereign, and next heir to the Crown. Amongst other offices which his situation entitled him to hold, he was the Commander in Chief of our army. In this arduous and important situation, in which so many thousands are interested and concerned, he had the singular happiness of giving general satisfaction, and bring- ing that army to such a state of discipline and per- fection, as, under Divine Providence, to cause them, through many years of severe aud trying conflicts, to be crowned with victory, whenever called forth. His attentions were by no means confined to the upper and higher ranks, for it was hia study and endeavour to promote and establish the comforts and welfare of the common soldiers end their fami- lies. This he evinced in a special manner by regu- lating the pay and allowances,, not only to be dis- tributed to them ill the most easy and beneficial manner for their support and comfort, but also after their decease, whether by the natural course of events, or by falling in defence of our country, that the arrears of such soldiers' pay and allowances shouffi be secured, by well- digested methods, to the widows and children, or next of kin to the deceased. These considerate and humane regulations justly entitled him to be called ' The Soldiers' Friend,' by those who best know how to appreciate kindnesses. But his attentions were not confined to these tem- porary comforts. He remembered that his Royal Father had said—' He hoped to live to see the time when all his subjects might be able to read their Bible.' This wish of his Royal Father he carried into practice, as far as his extensive aid could go, by enabling all such as could so read, to have tho means of doing it, by commanding that every soir diet- should be presented with a Bible: and it- is said, that many a soldier, when called forth, pre. serves it as the dearest part ofthe contents of his knapsack.' 1 know thero are many who speak harshly of the Military character, because exposed to the fascination of gaiety, pleasure, thoughtless- ness, arid dissipation. Although some may fall too much into these allurements; yet the fault is not so much in the situation, but in the heart. Having shared some little, although but little, of a military life, I know there are always to be found those who, having been blessed with good instruction and example, have gone through the fiery ordeal uuscorched, and proved as pious, conscientious, aud worthy men, as adorn any profession. Many such are recorded in history and the Scriptures; for it is extremely remarkable, and well worthy our attention, that among all the various characters we meet with in the New Testament, ( as remarked by a Prelate of our Church,) there are few represented in a more amiable light, or spoken of in stronger terms of approbation, than those of military men. He who undertakes an occupation of great toil and great danger, for the purpose of serving, defending, and protecting his country, is a most valuable and respectable member of society; and if he conducts himself with valour, fidelity, and humanity, and, lamidst the horrors of war, cultivates the gentle manners of peace, he most amply deserves, and wii! assuredly receive, the esteem, the admiration, and the applause of his grateful country.. Let us, therefore, join unanimously, as I trust we shall, by consenting to the proposed address, and thereby rather adorn the late Royal Duke's memory. by our admiration, by our short- lived praises, and, as far as our natures will permit, by an imitation of his character— in doing good, in our several stations of life. I have only now to add, as seconding the motion of the worthy mover, that I hope and trust the Address just read to you, will be adopted as the Address of this meeting."—( Cheers. J R. A. SLANKY, Esq. M. P. said—-" I hope the fe words of my hon. friend— if he will allow me to call him so— will be but the harbingers of that peaceful unanimity which will accompany our present pro- ceedings, and by whieh we shall best evince our respect for the illustrious doccased. and our affection for him to whom our Address will be transmitted. My honourable friend has said, that a military man who best performs his duty is an honour to his country ; aud in our own county we Certainly can find a brilliant example in one noble individual, Lord Bill, who to ail the attainments of a military life has added all those virtues which adorn and dignify the private station. In him, then, we have a perfect example of one who fills his station with equal honour to himself, his country, arid the military profession. I shall not now clescaut upon the virtues or'the private life of His late Royal Highness. Among an ancient aud enlightened people, it was an established rule not to speak auy ill of the dead, and we, as a nation, have always enforced that good example. If, however, the Duke of York had er- rors, they certainly were not those of the heart. His assiduity, bis attention to all classes, and hia bravery, are well known; and he possessed, in an eminent degree those virtues of generosity, frank- ness and bravery, which seem to be hereditary in the House of Brunswick."—( Cheers. J [ Several gentlemen, having entered the. Hall after the Address had been fust read, the Mayor caused it to be read asecond time to the Meeting.] J. CHESSETT PELHAM, Esq. M. P. expressed his acknowledgments for the second reading of the Address. He said, he spoke in the hearing of persons who had on al! occasions evinced their sincere attachment to tlie Reigning Family, and to the Constitution of these Realms, and whose wish it was that that Constitution should " be preserved ( Cheers)', and he considered that it would be a great consolation to His Majesty thus to receive the sympathising expression of the feelings of his faith- ful people.—( Cheers J. General LETHBRIDGE said-^" Mr. Mayor, Since I quitted the active duties of my profession, I have been little in the habit of public speaking; but on this occasion 1 wish to say a few words. In a few mouths, the illustrious individual whose loss we now deplore would for 33 years have conducted that important branch of the public service, of which he was the distinguished Commander ; during whieh period his industry and attention to the regulations of the service were most indefatigable. The effici ency of these regulations have been evinced in the deeds that have been done. That His Royal High ness was distinguished as " The Soldier's Friend," is well known to every officer and private in the ser vice. That he was universally beloved by the Army cannot be denied ; and his virtues in civil life are matter of universal knowledge. There is, however, one circumstance connected with our military his- tory, of which, having myself been appointed to conduct the recruiting service in this county as the head of several districts, I feel more competent to speak. At a period when we had to contend with the force of nearly all Europe, we had not, by ordinary means, the power of filling up our ranks; but, under tho judicious directions of His Royal Highness, seconded by tbe exertions of His Majes- ty's Government, recourse was had to that consti- tutional force, the Militia, and from this excellent source, under His Royal Highness's arrangements, the ranks of our Armies were filled, aud those results were produced which have given additional lustre to the name of the British Army, and which will continue a lasting memorial of His Royal High- ness's talent and discrimination.—( Cheers. J WILLIAM BRAYNE, Esq. moved that the Address should be presented to His Majesty by the Recorder ofthe Borough ( the Earl of Powis), accompanied by the Members for the. Borough.— The Rev. Arch- deacon Owis seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Capt. M/ UC- KLISSTON wished that the Address had expressed more decidedly the concurrence of the Military ( of which profession there were many pre- sent) in the proceedings ofthe assembly. The MAYOR said, although the Military, as such, were not particularly expressed in the Address, it had been so comprehensively worded as to include al! the inhabitants of the town aud vicinity, which, he hoped, would be understood as comprising th* military and all other residents. The Rev. Archdeacon BUTLER, D. D. moved the thanks of the meeting to the proposer aud seconder of tbe Address.— FRANCIS KNYVETT LEIGHTOM, Esq. seconded the motion, which was carried una- nimously. JONATHAN PERRY, Esq. moved the thanks of tha meeting to the Mayor, for the able manner in which he had opened and conducted the business of the day E. A SLANEY, Esq. M. P. seconded the motion, and observed that the ability which the Mayor had displayed this day, may be considered as a happy foretaste of that distinguished conduct which might beexpeciedtomarkthe proceedingsof his Mayoralty. The MAYOR expressed his acknowledgments to the Meeting; and the assembly separated. Salop New Infirmary.

S. & C.& C. PRESIDENT — Mr. Knight has long been attempting " to create new varieties of dessert pears, which would prove capable of being grown abundantly upon standard trees, in all moderately favourable situations, by fertilising the blossoms of the swan's egg and other hardy varieties with the- pollen of the lute winter varieties of French pears." Out of many hundred seedling plants thus raised, about forty have borne fruit. " Most of these were OF little value; a part not having acquired maturity or perfection, owing to defect of climate; some were deficient in flavour, and others had a disposition to decay internally." Six of the last varieties are described, which Mr. Knight expects will become important acquisitions. — IN this paper we meet with an observation which we believe has not been made before, that the first blossoms of all seedling trees are uniformly less capable of bearing unfavourable weather than'those subsequently produced by the same trees. This should be borne in mind by the experimental horti- culturist, as the knowledge of the fact may fre- quently prevent a new variety being condemned for the faults of its youth, which its old ago would probably correct.— Transactions of Horticultural Society. MELASCHOI. T OCCURRENCE.— A dreadful catas- trophe, attended with the loss of four lives, occurrcil ( 111 Tuesday morning al Mr. Wightwick's Colliery, at Tividale, in the parish of Rowley Regis. Five minus were at work ill a coal- pit, without Ihe slightest ap- prehension of danger, when a large mass of coal, weighing upwards of 55' tons, suddenly gave way with an awful crash, aud fell upon four of them, whi> were instantly deprived nf life; the other manescapedj almost hy miracle, the terrible fate of his companions, with only a LI ivial burl On the hip. The names of the deceased persons are Daniel Sowden, Tholuus Junes, William Paine, and John Corbet Brookes, ON whose bodies an inquisition was taken on Friday, ut Tipton, before Henry Smith, Esq Coroner, find a verdict of accidental death was returned. This melancholy case is rendered still mure distressing by Ihe circum- stance of three of Ihe unfortunate suiTi- reis being married ; and their widows have not only to strugole against the misfortune which has thus befallen TH.- NIY but they have each a family of children lo suppoil. The following disastrous accounts have beoti received from Batavia, under the date of the 9th of October:— About the 1st of October, a battle took place between the Dutch foi'ces commanded by General Van Ceen ( second in command, and next to General De Kock, who is Lieutenant- Governor ilnd Commander- in- Chief), and tiie insurgents, com- manded by Djupe Nagoro, in person, and we lament to add; that the Dutch forces were totally annihi- lated, and the Geueral only saved his life by hiding himself. He returned to Samarang without a single follower* The battle was fought between Solo and Samarang; the greatest consternation prevailed at the latter place. When the account came away, every exertion was making for the removal of property. Palambang, on the coast of Sumatra, and which cost the Dutch so much blood and trea- sure, is again in the hands of the natives. The Dutch had withdrawn a great part of their forces from the Celebes; and the Queen of Boni, taking advantage of the circumstance,{ had taken the field with great force, and it was feared the Dutch would be expelled that island. " We know not," observes the writer of the letter from which the above ac- count is derived, " what troops are coining from Europe, but if five or six thousand men do not arrive iu a few weeks, twenty thousand will not save Java, fur every mile the insurgents udvauce, their strength increases." Jamaica papers to the 24th of December, give Ihe following passage from tbe Governor's Speech, in proroguing the House of Assembly I—" I trust lhat the laborious attention you have bestowed ou the revision of the Slave Laws, the mildness and moder- ation which the new Act betrays throughout, the beneficial alteration it produces in Ihe condition of the slaves iu many particulars, more especially those which regard the mode of trial, and the admissioimf their evidence in Courts of Justice, will be highly satisfactory to his Majesty's Government." At Ihe date of these papers, Jamaica, with onr other West India possessions, remained healthy and tranquil. COURT OF CHANCER V.— Mr. Wellesley and his Children.— Thursday the Lord Chancellor, after going over the whole of the cvidi- nce, which occupied three hours and a half, proceeded to pronounce judgment. His Lordship dwelt at great length on Ibe disgraceful connection still continuing; stating that if HE could prevent it, Mr. ttVllesley should never have the cou- troul of bis children so lo. IT, as the connection with Mrs. B. existed. « Arrived AI 1 am," continued his Lordship, U at such an advanced age, 1 cannot, hut feel tliDt I am soon to appear myself before . another tribunal, the re to render an account of inv conduct in this life; and moul conscientiously do I feel that 1 could not face that solemn tribunal, with the con- viction of having honestly discharged my duty, were I to suffW this girl to remain with A father who has DISGRACED himself as My. Wellesley has done, by his profligate antl adulterous intercourse with such A woman as Mrs. Bii<* h; and if I cannot allow the girl to remain with hini, upon what principle of justice, 1 ask, can I separate the boys from their sister?" His judgment therefore was, that it be referred to the Master, to ascertain who were fit and proper persons to have the guardianship of the child- ren— A judgment that he pronounced with great pain, because lie was not sure that there WAS any body who would accept the uninviting ami unthankful oilice. With respect to ihe Wanslcad estate, into the pos- session of which Mr. Wellesley came oil his marriage with Miss Tilney LONOF, the public generally are under considerable misapprehension. The greater part of this property is generally understood to have been squandered away BY Mr. W, and nothing lift hut some small estates, entailed to his eldest son. This is a mistake. The whole comes into the poa- sessiou of fhe young heir ( WHO has been SO much the object of Chanc ery protection) on the death of his father. Mr. L. VV. never had any thing more than a life interest, and consequently could not sell. The Wanstead estate h as occasionally produced £ 40,000 a year ; but this has been in part owing to the tines payable on the renewal of leases, the surrender of copyhold*, and other accidental causes. The'average net rent is about £ 35,000 a year ; but of this, by USE will of his grandfather, £ 11,000 a year is apportioned for the maintenance and education of ihe youn< » heir. Previous to the marriage, it was intended to suffer recoveries and fines of this as well as of the other part of her property, and make a resettlement; but on examination, it was found that it could not bo done. Mr. Wdlesley, therefore, has a rental of about £ 24,000 a year, which is, however, charged with incumbrances to the amount of £ 16,000 or £ 57,000 a year, or perhaps more. Besides this Mr. W. has a power of raising £ 50,000 on this estate; aud we bclkve, also a power of raising a similar sum on his own. O. I the death of Mr. W. hiss eldest sou will come into the whole estate of £ 35,000 A year, subject only to charges of £ 30,000 a piece to hi* younger brother and sister.

Tbe saints nt this were sadly res'd, And much their holy brains perpiex'd To bring the boy to reason ) And, when ihey found him bent to stay, Tbey built up convent walls straightway And put poor I. ove iu prison. But Cupid, though a captive made, Socn met, within a convent » huder New subjects in profusion : Albeit ho found his pagan name Was heard bv pious maid and dame Willi horror and confusion. For all were there demure and coy,. And deem'd o rebel heathen hoy A most uusaintly creature ; But Cupid found a way with ease Ilis slyest vol'lies' taste to please, And yet uot change a feature. For, by his brightest daft, tbe elf Aflitin'd he'd turn a saint himself,. To make their scruples lighter; So gravely bid his dimpled smiles, liis wreathed locks, and playful wiles, Beneath a bishop's mitre. Then Christians rear'd the boy a shrine, And youths iurok'd Saint Valentine To'bless their annual passion ; And maidens slill bis name revere, And, smiling, bail this day each year— A day to village lovers dear, Though saints nrc out of fashion. Ihe coronation oath, the Sovereign is bound to main- tain tbe Church established, in her doctrine,. discipline, aud rights inviolate. Au Act of Parliament may release future Sovereigns and other men frnur this oath, or from any other oaths to be taken: but eau it release au individual who has already taken it? I' speak, 1 repeat it again, as an individual ; but I entreat tbe House to consider llie situation in which the Sovereign is thus placed. I feel very strongly on this whole subject; I cannot forget tbe deep interest which was taken upon it by one now no more ; and tbe long aud unhappy illness—( here bis Koyal Highness was sensibly affected). 1 have been brought up from my early years iu these principles; aud from the time when 1 began to reason for myself, 1 have entertained them from conviction; and- in every situation in which I may bo pluced, I will maintain them, so help me, Goi)." The effect of this speech was unbounded. The public doubts instantly vanished. The security thus given by the Monarch, whose sentiments his Royal Highness undoubtedly uttered in conjunction with his own, set the nation at ease. The speech was hailed through the country with the highest grati- tude— innumerable copies of it were circulated— it was justly looked on as a royal bond to Protestant- ism and liberty; and the illustrious speaker rose at once into a rank of public esteem and hope altoge ther unrivalled. Yet this exertion was not one which a timid, unprincipled, or an undecided mind would have readily made. His Royal Highness was well aware that the defeated party would not be sparing in their hate of the man by whom they were over- thrown— that private bitterness and public obloquy would be visited on him, as they have been, and will be, on every mail who does his public duty with determination— that the whole force of Popery would be roused against his motives while living, and against his character when he should be no more. But a public effort was demanded, and he made it freely, boldly, and effectually; be laid down the principles on which the Constitution is to be defended in all emergencies; he reinstated the wavering public mind on the most momentous of all subjects, and he gave us at once an additional pledge of the Crown to the Constitution, and au additional proof of that wisdom of our ancestors by which that Crown was placed on the brow of the Brunswick line, to the EXCLUSION OF POPERY FOR EVER! There is a culm the pure in spirit know, That softens sorrow, and that sweetens woe ; There is n peace, tliat dwells within tbe breast, When all without is stormy nnd distresl ; There is a tight, lhat gilds the darkest hour, When dangers thicken, nud when troubles low'r i That calm, to faith, and hope, and lore, is given ; That peace remains, when nil betide is riven : That light shines down to man, direct from Heaven VERITAS. THE DUKE OF YOEK, [ From Blackwood's Magazine.] HERCULANEUM AND POMPEII. [ From, ihe Letter of a recent Traveller.], The death of His Royal Highness the Duke of " ork has excited the deepest regret in the friends of the Constitution and the Empire. He died at a period when alt those lighter parts of character which are cherished in the levity and indulgence of high life, had passed away ; when the native manli- ness and generosity of his spirit were becoming more prominent day by day ; and when, of necessity assuming a political rank, he was giving the strong- est proofs of that decision of character and sound- ness of constitutional principle, vvhieh are essential fo the security ofa free monarchy. No public man of his time had gone through a severer ordeal of national opinion; he had been attacked by the whole bitterness of party j the re- cesses ofhis private life had been searched with an inquisitorial zeal and malignity, that, if there had been guilt, must have detected it, and if there- had been the seed of human resentment in the bosom of His Royal Highness, must have made him vindictive. But his resumption of office, as it occurred with the highest public sense 6f his being cleared from all the gross calumnies which had laboured to degrade bis official honour; so it found him still the same generous and kindly spirit ; utterly incapable of harbouring resentment; rendered only more de- voted to the public service : applying, till his latest hour, with exemplary diligence to the duties of his station; and, by the decision and integrity of his last senatorial act, the noble Declaration in defence of the Church, ot once illustrating the native qualities of his character, and showing the nation what might have be m expected from him, if it had been the will of Providence to give him length of days. # • # • The Catholic Question has, within these few years, compelled public attention, by the louder clamour and more diligent artifice of its agents. But if there be one series of facts in history more unquestionable than another, they are, that Popish councils cannot be councils for tbe good of a Pro- testant state; that ecclesiastical tyranny is hostile to civil liberty; and that a religion which sup- presses the Scriptures, and burns their propagators, cannot be the religion of truth, of freedom, or of the Scriptures. It is as little to be doubted, that the grand purpose of Popery in power, would be only the more active exertion of the grand purpose of Popery out of power,— the extinction of all opinions that dared to doubt its infallibility, aud first, the most irretrievably, the extinction of Protestantism, It is as little to be doubted, that a reli'giou whose whole priesthood declares a prior allegiance to a foreign court, and keeps up a perpetual corre- spondence with it, is not a safe ingredient in the constitution of any country which maybe embroiled with that foreign court; and that the House of Brunswick, being called to the British throne on the express stipulation of never suffering the en- trance of Papal influence into the Constitution, is bound by the most solemn obligations before God and man, to protect us from the evil ofa legislation, stained, encumbered, and paralyzed by the admix- ture of Popery. Yet, popular delusion, practised to a great extent; the negligence of the usual defenders of the Con- stitution, probably tired out by the perpetual repetition of the topic; and the ability of some eloquent leaders of the House of Commons— had brought the Catholic Question forward, in 1825, with more effect than at any preceding time. There were rumours of a change of opinion among some even of those who had been hitherto the most decided public friends of British freedom. Great anxiety was excited; every eye that had been accustomed to venerate the forms of the Constitution, was turned to the final debate of tbe Senate on this momentous occasion. Rumours had been spread of even the menacing nature, that the Throne was friendly to this fatal measure. But, on the 25th of April, his Royal Highness came down to the House of Lords, and relieved the national mind. " His ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DCKR OP YORK.—' hold in mv hand a Petition from the Dean and Chapte of the Collegiate Church of St. George, Windsor, pray- ing- that no further concession may be made to ihe Roman Catholics. 1 am sure that any representation from so learned and respectable a body will he received with the attention which it deserves, and tlierefore 1 should not have troubled your Lordships with any observations in support of it, if I did not feel that this was nii occasion on which any man may well be per- mitted to address your Lordships. 1 do this more readily on tiie present occasion, because, feeling lhat J ain not in the habit of taking pari in your discussions, 1 will not interrupt the'progress of the. debate on the hill to which the petitioners refer, if it should come into ihis House. Il is now twenty- five jears since this measure was first brought into discussion. 1 cannot forget with what events that discussion was at that time connected. It was connected with the most serious ill- ness of oue tiow no more— it was connected also with the temporary removal of one of the oldest, wisest, and honestest ministers that this country ever had. From that time, when I gave my first vote on this question, to the present, 1 have never seen any reason lo regret or to change the Vine which 1 ibentook. I have, every year, seen more reason to hp satisfied with my decision. When the question comes regularly before yonr Lord- ships, il will be discussed much more fully and ably than I can do it. Bui ihere are two or three subjects, 011 which I am anxious to touch. One is, lhat. you place the Church of England' in a situation in which no other church in the world is placed : the Roman Catholic will not allow the Church of England or Parliament lo interfere wilh his Church, and yet he . requires you to allow him to i. iiei fere wilh your Church, and l<> legislate for it. _ There is another subject still more delicate, on which I. cannot, / however, help saying a few words, I speak ( I beg to be understood) only as an individual; 1 desire not lo be understood a9 speaking for any body else; but consider, my Lords, the sirimiioif in which you place the Sovereign. By Herculanenm was destroyed, not like Pompeii, by ashes, but by lava and pumice stones. The mosl valuable and be9t preserved remains of antiquity were found here, and are now to be seen in the Museum at Naples. They consist of statues, paintings, jnstru ments of art, MS'S, kitchen utensils, & c. « Great numbers of MSS. are piled up in one of the rooms of the Museum : ihey resemble pieces of charcoal, about a foot long, and four or five inches in diameter. 1 eaw one of them unrolled-— a work of Philodemus. The Greek ( thegreater part are in Greek)- was well written and pretty legible, but they are so fragile, and so like cobwebs, that il is probable no complete work can ever be obtained from ihem. Different rooms in the Museum are quite filled with objects of art ami household utensils found at Herculaneura and Pom- peii. A great number of musical instruments, ba- lances, weights and measures, pans, glassr phials, mirrors of polished steel, lamps innumerable, door hinges, lo^ ks, ropes, bread, wheat, beans, aud many other articles, too numerous to mention, are exhibited to view. Most of the household utensils are very elegant, made of brass, and plated in tbe inside. In all the collection I saw only two small knives, aud not one fork. Are we to infer from this, that these masters of the world, with their greasy togas, aud unacquainted with ihe use of linen, were equally barbarous in iheir mode of eating, nnd fed themselves without the aid of knives and forks ? It is not at all unlikely. Ca3sar and Cicero would not have been thought men of refined manners iu modern times. Perhaps it may be asserted, without contradiction, that the English of the present day ore the most cleanly and civilized of all the nations of the world who have left any traces behind them. It has surprised some, that so many works should have been found at Herculaneum, which was destroyed by fire, and but few ol Pompeii, It may, however, be easily accounted for. The covering of the latter place, probably, was not sufficient to keep out Ihe external air. That of the former was chiefly composed of lava, and so thick nnd hard that nothing could penetrate il, lu no part of Italy does nature appear to have been active in destroying Ihe works of man, and changing the sur- face of the ground, as in Ihis delightful spot. There can be no doubt that within these Iwo thousand years hills and lakes have been destroyed, and others formed. VVe know of one hill which has been crealed in modern times ( Monte Nuovoj; ami ihe Lncrine Lake, which formed such au excellent harbour in the time of Caesar, is now reduced to a shallow pool. The large lake of A guano is not ment ioned by any ancient writer; and Astroni, a mountain close lo it, has evidently been half destroyed by a volcano. The top of ihe mountain has sunk, and the interior is now filled with water and wood. There in a continual commotion below the surface of the earth, which, on occasion of a thunder storm or hurricane, exc ites in ihe minds of the inhabitants the most serious appre- hensions. Mount Vesuvius itself has evidently been torn asunder by some Iremendons convulsion of nature, and may one day be converted, like Astroni, into a retreat for fowls and wild boars. The Lake of Avernus, so often mentioned by Ihe ancients, has evidently been formed in Ihe bosom of a volcanic mountuin. Hence ihe sulphureous and putrid va- pours which ascended from it prevented wild fowl from frequenting it, and obtained it ihe name of Avernus. This is now no longer Ihe cose. Water- fowl frequent il, as well as the other lakes in the neighbourhood, Monte Nuoro, or ihe New Moun- tain, about four hundred feet high, suddenly appeared in the middle of the Luerine Lake during Ihe erup- tions which occurred in 1538, All these places are lo the west of Naples, aud close to the Bay of Baice, about eight miles from the city— " Nulhu in orbe sinus Baiia praducet am ® nis." The famous watering place, so celebrated and fre- quented by the ancient Romans, is now a dreary wilderness. With the exception of Pozzuoli on one side ofthe bay, and a small village on the other, there is scarcely a house to be seen. Baiae itself consists of only a few houses; but the remains of temples, theatres, nnd palaces, prove how populous it must have been during the reigns of tbe Emperors. The shore is covered with their ruins. Close to the pro- montory of Misennm, so fatal lo the trumpeter of iEneas, is a small lake which communicates with the sen, and is pointed out as the Slyx of tbe ancients. The boy who accompanied us as guide said with great gravity, lhat a man of the name of Charon had for- merly ferried many thousands over lo the Elysian fields. On seeing a boat drawn upon Ihe shore, inquired if that was Charon's boat. He replied— " Non, Signor, lungo tempo fa che e morto"—( No, Sir, he died long ago,) Where Cumse stood, nothing now is lo be seen but vines and trees growing on tho ruins of the houses. A beautiful walnut Iree adorns the arena of the amphitheatre, and shrubs and plants cover Ihe space so often occupied by wondering spectators. The besom of destruction has'passed over the place. A few solitary fiouses, inhabited by ignorant, superstitious, aud half naked peasants, nre scattered along the shore, ond, like the glimmerings of light which render darkness visible, they only call to mind Ihe varied and animated scene which this delightful retreat must have exhibited when peopled by the masters of the world. are not to be impeached. We are happy to have an opportunity of saying so, as we find this Company was started under the auspices of four conspicuous members of the Opposition, viz. Lord Nugent, Sir James Mackintosh, Mr. Brougham, aud Mr. W. Smith.- A letter was read from Mr. Brougham, which set forth that he had only joined the Company to promote tire intercourse between England aud Hajli, and to advance the interests of free labour. A Mr, Robinson,- who had bought shares, in conse- quence of seeing the Learned Gentleman's name in the list of Directors, considered the letter a pitiful 44 sneaking out" on the part of Mr. Brougham. A number of Gentlemen rose, all, no doubt, const.! dering it necessary lhat they should do BO, to prove that Mr. Brougham was no sneak. All, however, gave way to Lord Nugent, and that most immaculate Noble person, of Arigna celebrity, vindicated his Learned Friend, and declared that he could value no compliment to himself vvjiich came from those who assailed Mr. Brougham. The Morning Chronicle, too, praises him, for paying tha loss on his shares. We also give bim credit for doing so, but it is rather malicious in the Morning Chronicle thus to attack Mr. Hume by a side wind. It ill becomes that Journal, which affected to approve of the conduct of Mr. Hume, who did not pay his losses, now to celebrate the merits of Mr. Brougham, because he did. But the failure of the Company to such an extent, a catastrophe which could hardly have been an- ticipated, where four such eminent Whigs, and political economists, were concerned, as those we have enumerated. Even though success were unat- toinable, something like a good retreat was promised. For what said the prospectus? Why, after enumerat- ing the astonishingly fine prospects which were open to them, it proceeded thus:— Notwithstanding these securities and advantages, the Directors intend not to commence their mining operations until they shall have obtained a report of able and experienced persons, who are to be immedi- ately dispatched for the purpose of making a full and accurate survey of the Mines, the Roads, the condition ofthe country in which the Mines are situate, ond the means of supply for the Miners. If the Report shall not he such as shall satisfy the Directors that the Mines can be worked with every fair and reasonable prospect of an early return, the deposits shall be paid hack to the Subscribers, with a deduction only ofthe expense of procuring the contract, of the examination and report, and of the remuneration to the officers of the Coinpanv up to the period of the arrival of the report, which will be accelerated as much ns possible ; and the whole amount of such expenses is not expected to ex- ceed one pound per Shared See, then, with all the unquestioned virtue of these Gentlemen, what miserable miscalculation is proved against thcra ! The charge occasioned by experiment ia quadruple the amount which they supposed would cover it f We have briefly, and very tenderly, told the story. It only remains for us,- after tbe manner uf the ancient writers, to supply a MORAL. Never commit the reins of Government to a set of talkers, who are for ever boasting of what Ihey would do, nnd telling what might with ease be effected by others. Bring their swaggering theories to the tesl of action, aud the result to the nation would he as ruinouaas the exploded scheme in the fable, ( would it were only a fable !) lo the poor members of the Hay- tiau Mining Company. observing on the different modes of rating real' pro- peity, he puts the very case in question. Speaking- of a Rack Rent valuation being acted upon, he says, 44 it proceeds upon the assumption, 44 that the rack rent is the criterion of lhat actual value " upon which the tax is laid ; but this principle is " fallacious ; rent being only so much of the actual ( l value as the Tenant can afford to pay his Landlord,- 44 deducting the expense of cultivation, and a reason- * 4 able remuneration for trouble and time. The Rent 44 therefore is the Landlord's profit, the reasonable 4"* remuneration is the Tenant's profit— both come from f4 the Land, and form part of its productive value. 44 When Land is occupied by the Proprietor, he receives 44 both ihese profits ; when it is demised to a Tenant, 6k they are divided." And he afterwards adds, 44 that both are the legitimate object of Tax in the hands of 44 the occupier of the Land. V^ n Again:— 44 If no other property but Land was 44 rateable, there seems but one objection to this mode 44 of fixing the rate by the Rack Rent ; namely, that * 4 ihe'Tax' would fall principally, if not altogether, upon 44 the owner of the inheritance. But as every sort of " real property is rateable, some mines excepted, this 44 practice produces great( inequality, and violates *} the. grand'rule of rating ; which is ( quoting Lord 44 Kenyon in Rex v. Mast, 6 Term Rep.) 4k 4 that what- ever be the pr& portion of rating in a parish, wheiher 44 to ihe full value, or otherwise, the rate must be 44 equally mode on all persons.' " 44 Thus Tithes, Coal Mines, Tolls, Water Works, and " saleable Underwoods, are assessed according to the 44 net annual amount of profits, deducting all expenses; 4i or in other words, they ore rated to theiryW/ value ; 4- hut Land, when rated upon the Rack Rent, is only * assessed according to the Landlord's profits, or minus 44 the productive value, hy whatever the farmer's profit 44 amounts to." 4k Let it be supposed, hy way of example, that the 44 fair principle for dividing the annual produce of a farm between Landlord aud Tenant, is, that after 44 deducting all expenses, each should take one- half, 44 and that the annual average of this moiety is the 44 Rock Rent stipulated to be paid ; it is obvious, that 44 if lliefarm is assessed upon ils tent, the occupier is 41 rated for only half the actual value of the Land, 44 while the Clergyman, and those who occupy Tolls, 44 Coal Mines, & c. are rated at ihe full value of the 44 property, or in a two- fold proportion." Such is the reasoning— such are the conclusions of Mr. Nolan, on eminent Lawyer of great experience \ n Parish Law ; and he has put them with such force, and precision of language, and, at the same time, so com- pletely divested of legal technicality, that I will not, hy adding one word, weaken the impression ihey cannot fail to make on the reader. No" man living estimates more highly than I do, the talents and judgment which distinguish the Magistracy at the Staffordshire Quarter Sessions, and particularly of the Honourable Baronet who so ably presides as Chairman? but they will, I hope, pardon me for saying, that I humbly think the Court were mistaken, in confirming the Rate upon the Tithes, under the circumstances stated ; iu which many persons of much intelligence and legal knowledge, fully concur with me. As the Surveyor stated that lie had acted upon the same rules as to Land and Tithes, in various other parishes iu which he had been employed, and os it was also held out lhat it was the general practice, 1 have considered it a duty to those, who, like myself, are interested in Tithe Pro- perty, to call their attention to a subject, of so much importance to the Clergy, as well as to Lay- Iinpropriators. JNO. TOMLINSON. Ciijfville, 15ih Jan. 1827. plished, a considerable portion of the public money has been devoted to architectural improvements ; the deficiency of churches has been supplied in many parts of the country, as well as in the metro- polis, and London has been purged of many of its nuisances, while its healthiness and comforts have been increased by the formation of new openings, and the construction of new sewers and the regu- lation of old ones.— New Monthly Magazine. i$ tisc£ Uanmi0 EimUigence. METROPOLITAN* IMPHOVEMENTS, ' Oh, the wonderful alterations 1" To Tithe Owners and Occupiers. As my Appeal, ot the last General Quarter Sessions for the County of Stafford, involves an important principle, in regard to Poor's Rates upon ' Tithes, which concerns tte owners and occupiers of that description of property all over tho kingdom, I am induced, thus publicly, to submit the following state- ment : — It is an acknowledged principle, that nil real pro- perty whatever is liable to be rated to the poor, to the full amount of its net productive yearly value ;— And if only n proportion of that net productive value is adopted by a parish, the same proportion must be applied to all classes or species of real property. Now,, it was a departure, as I conceived, from the latter rule, under a new survey of the parish of Stoke- u pon- Trent ( which nearly trebled the former Rate upon the Tithes), that formed one of the grounds of my appeal against the Poor's Rates. It is well known, that the productive value of Land is not confined to the Rent paid to the Landlord; it comprises nlso, ihe occupier's profit. The Properly Tax was a legislative exemplification of that principle. The common calculation is ( arid it was so proved on my appeal), that the produce of a farm is equal to three rents; aud after allowing one- third for out- goings and expenses, that the remaining two- thirds, where a farm is let to o tenant, should he equally divided beiween him ond the Landlord. Where the owner is olso the occupier of the farm, he, in course, takes both shares. On this calculation, the whole yearly produce of o farm of £ 100 a- year rent, would amount to £ 300; nnd after deducting one- third for expenses and outgoings, the remaining £ 200 would he ihe net productive value. Whether it is wholly taken by the owner, where he is also the occupier, or in ihe case of a letting to a tenant, it is apportioned between him and the landlord, the latter taking £ 100 as rent, or iu whatever other way it may be distributed, it makes no difference as to its roteobility. Now, in the case in question, it appeared that land was assessed to the poor on two- thirds of the landlord's rent, of £ 100 only ( taking that sum for example), being no more than one- half of the net productive value of the land ; iu other words, on one third of the ivhole amount of the net productive value thereof; whilst Buildings, Water Works, and Market Tolls, were assessed on ont- half of the full amount of their net productive value; ond Tithes, on two- thirds of tire whole amount of their net productive value. The result, then, was obviously os follows: 33 d. 6 8 HAYTIAN MINING COMPANY. [ From an Evening Paper.] At a meeting of the Subscribers to the Haytian Mining Company, on Saturday, the association was dissolved, and tl was announced that about four- fifths of ihe subscribed capital had been spent. This was rather a doleful story to tell the parties, who had calculated on drawing: wealth from the inex- haustible mines of Hayti. The Directors cannot be accused of having communicated the fact too abrupt- ly, as they considerately gave the Shareholders from July, 1825, to the end of January, 1827, to prepare for il. It may be further mentioned, to their credit, that they did noi charge a single farthing for their trouble, and did not traffic in shares. We could hardly have expected eo much from a Directory which claimed Lord Nugent as one of its members. It was extremely kind of them to make away with £ 33,000 all bui £ 8,000, and to do il gratia. Seriously speaking, the motives of the Director Upon each £ 100 net productive value from Land, the assessment was upon Upon each £ 100 net productive value from Buildings, Water Works, nnd Market Tolls, the assessment wos'' upon... 50 0 0 And upon each £ 100 net productive value from Tithes, the assessment was upon. 60 13 How, then, could this he pulling these different classes of property on any thing 1 ike a proportionate equality ; which I maintain, without fear uf contradic- tion, to be the established rule of Law. The Surveyor stated, that in respect to Tithes, he had first estimated the gross annual value, and then deducted one- fiflh for Poor's Rales and other Taxes, and for ihe expenses of valuing and collecting ; leavin the remainder ns the total amount of their net pro- ductive value, hut which he afterwards, must absurdly, called their rental rolne, using the same term which he had before ( and properly enough) applied to the Land- lord's Rent of Land. Now, without stopping one moment to shew, in support of Mr. Joseph Henshaw'i evidence, that one fifth would be insufficient to reduce the gross value of Tithes to their net productive value, as compared with Land ; it is to be observed, that when so reduced, the amount would conslilute the'whole net productive value of the Tithes, and would then only put them on the same footing with Land, where the owner is also the occupier, and takes to himself both Ihe landlord's ond tenant's share of ihe profits; yet will he recollected, that even in that case, Land is still assessed upon two- thirds of the Landlord's rent only, or of a moiety of the whole net productive value. So that, in the case of Land, whether occupied by the owner or not, that moiety or proportion only, is assessed upon : Whilst in regard fo Tithes, the assessment is upon two- thirds of the whole amount of the net productive value thereof. Putting the same in figures it stands thus : £. s. d. Total net value of the Tithes, as estimated by the Surveyor 1983 9 Assessment made on two- thirds, or 1322 6 But from the same amount of £ 1983. 9s. as the toholc net productive value from Land, the Occirpier's moiety is deducted ; and the assessment made on two- thirds of the remaining moiety, or only on 681 8 0 Can, then, any thing he plainer than the inequality and that in this way Tithes ore rated in a double proportion to Land ? In reference to the Surveyor's phrase of rental value as applied to Tithes, I would ask, wheiher any ma could be ' found ( unless the Surveyor, to whom I have made the offer ot even a less yearly sum) who would be silly enough to take a Lease of Tithes, at a yearly rent equal to the ivhole amount of their net productive yearly value, and interpose his own responsibility foi the payment of a rent, to the very same amount, to hi got back by him from 3 to 400 persons, with all th risks and contingencies attendant thereon, withou having the slightest chance of any benefit to himself and yet, the Surveyor's rental value of Tillies involves that absurdity ; whilst even if such a thing was prac. tised, it vvould not sustain the conclusion drawn froi it, of subjecting the occupier of the Tithes to be rated on the whole amount, whilst Land was rated on th Landlord's moiety only. In Mr. Nolan's Treatise on the Poor's Law As it was gratifying to our natifmal pride during the war to read of the progress of our arms, and to rejoice in the glorious result of the exertions of our Government to procure permaneut tranquillity; so is it delightful to the lovers of the arts of peace to see the leisure and means, which this tranquillity has procured, employed by our ministers in the removal of the nuisances, and in the promotion of architectural improvement in the metropolis. It has been customary to judge of the increased civilization of a country by its improvements in architecture. By monuments of this art the pro- gress of the ancients is traced; the power of the Egyptians is deduced from the wonderful labour of the Pyramids; the taste and elegance of the, Greeks, from the Acropolis and the temple of Athens. Were we of the present day to be judged thus, England must appear to have advanced a century within the last few years; for, I suppose, in the annals of the world there have never been such rapid changes and such vast improvements as have occurred in this metropolis during the last seven years. We have no occasion now to refer to Pennai t to produce exclamations of surprise at the wonderful changes in London; our own recollections are sufficient. Oxford- street seems half a mile nearer to Charing Cross than in the days of our youth. Swallow- street, with all the divty courts iu its vicinity, have beeu swallowed up, and replaced by one of the most magnificent streets in Europe. Other streets are proposed by the same active ; genius under which Regent- street has been accom- plished; the vile houses which surrounded and hid the finest portico in London— that of St. Martin's Church— are already taken down ; a square is to be formed round this building, with two large openings into the Strand, and plans are already in agitationto lay open other churches in the same manner. Even the economical citizens have given us a peep at St. Bride's— being ashamed again to bide beauties which accident had given them an opportunity of displaying to greater advantage. One street is projected from Charing Cross to the British Museum, erminating in a square, of which the church in Hart- street is to form the centre; another is in- tended to lead to the same point from Waterloo Bridge, by which this structure, which is at present almost useless, will become the great connecting thoroughfare between the north and south sides of the Thames : this street is, indeed, a desideratum to the proprietors of the bridge, as well as to the public at large. Carlton House is already being taken down— by which means Regent- street will terminate at the south end, with a view of St. James's Park, in the same manner as it does at the north end, by an opening into the Regent's Park. Such is the general outline of the late and the projected improvements in the heart of the metro- polis ; but they have not stopped here. The King has been decorating Hyde Park with lodges, de- signed by Mr. Decimus Burton, which are really gems in architecture, and stand unrivalled for proportion, chasteness, and simplicity, amidst the architectural productions of the age. Squares are already covering the extensive pro- perty of Lord Grosvenor in the fields of Chelsea and Pimlico; and crescents and colonnades are planned, by the architect to the Bishop of London, on the ground belonging to the diocese at Bayswater. But all suburban improvements sink into insig. nificance, when compared with what has been pro- jected and attained within the last seven years in the Regent's Park. This new city of palaces has appeared to have started into existence like the event ofa fairy tale. Every week shewed traces of an Aladdin hand in its progress, till, to our astonish- ment, we ride through streets, squares, crescents, and terraces, where we the other day saw nothing but pasture land and Lords' Cricket Ground;— a barn is replaced by a palace— and buildings are constructed, one or two of which may vie with the proudest efforts of Greece and. Rome. The projector, with true taste, has called the beauties of landscape to the aid of architectural embellishment; and we accordingly find groves, and lawns, and streams intersecting the numerous ranges of terraces and villas; while nature, as though pleased at the efforts of art, seems to have exerted herself with extraordinary vigour to emu- late and second the efforts of the artist. In so many buildings, and amidst so much vari- ety-, there must, consequently, be many different degrees of architectural excellence, and many defects in architectural composition ; but, taken as a whole, and the short time occupied in its accom- plishment, the Regent's Park may be considered as one of the most extraordinary creations of architec- ture that has ever been witnessed. It is the only speculation of the sort where elegance seems to have been considered equally with profit iu the disposi- tion of the ground. It is in the contemplation of these additions and improvements to our metropolis, that we doubly feel the blessings and effects of that peace which ena- bled the government, as well as private individuals, to attempt to make London worthy ofthe character it bears in the scale of cities. England was too fully occupied during the war to devote much attention to the arts, and she refrained from erecting monuments to her victories till they were complete, and till their result was peace. From the moment that has been accom- SPAIN AND PORTUGAL— The Paris Journals have been received to Monday, and letters and papers from Lisbon down to the l § ih. The communications made through these ^ everal channels all concur in demonstrating, that tiie Portugese rebellion draws rapidly to its termination. The traitors have been pursued with vigour aud perseverance, and beaten decisively whenever overtaken. Alnieida, the occu- pation of which, though obtained by treachery, had for a moment gilded iheir cause with a hope of success, has again fallen into the hands of the Consti- tutional Government; and in no single instance has the rebel force shown itself able to maintain the advantages which the surprize, produced by the ! suddenness of the insurrection, enabled it to acquire. —- On the side of Spain the appearances of a capacity to molest the peace of the adjacent kingdom dissipate as rapidly. The westward march of the servile troops has been instantly followed by a movement of the Constitutional party in the kingdom of Malaga. The Madrid accounts* assert, indeed, that the incipient insurrection was promptly quelled $ but whatever were its fale, it is a proof of what the disposition of the intelligent classes of Spaniards continues to be, and an earnest of what Ferdinand may expect, should he abdicate ihe care of the eastern provinces for the sake of fighting the battles of depotism on the Portu- guese frontier. The last of the Swiss guard has marched from Madrid, an iueonf'esfible proof of the displeasure of the French Government which has recalled them in such a crisis.— After these proofs that the peace of the Peninsula will not be much longer disturbed by the intrigues of Ihe Apostolical faction, come the pacific declarations of Ferdinand, and the measures which he is said to have taken for the punishment of those officers who countenanced and promoted the invasion of Portugal. We have said thai these proofs come after those afforded by the actual condition of affairs in Spain ; and we admit that they come after them at a long distance ; for Ihe professions, whether oral or practical, of such a man as the King of Spain, deserve little respect, compared with proofs arising out of political necessity. — With this reservation, however, even the decla tion, and the measures of Ferdinand, deserve some consideration. He has professed neutraUty,-£~ and this must damp the hopes of the rebels', who cal- culated upon his active co- operation; he has taken steps to punish the officers who ( acting probably by his orders) kindled the civil war in Portugal; and this must make his other servants less willing to volunteer hereafter in such criminal enterprises, however pleasing they may think them to their master. In this way even Ferdinand can give pledges of some value, because ihe pledges themselves lend to work the effect for which they are engaged. THR DUKE OF YORK.—[ From the Sporting Magazine.]—" The late melancholy event, the Death of the Duke of York, brings to my recol- lection, that, in the numbers for June and July, 1822, I gave a little sketch of His Royal Highness's sporting career— that being the year in which he won the Derby, with Moses. Having affixed no signature to the article in question, the humble tribute of respect which 1 took the opportunity of paying to his character could be attributed to no self interested motive. Perhaps many of my readers may recollect what I said of him, and others may have the means of referring to the page; but to those who can do neither, it may not be ill- timed to repeat, that it was as a promoter of ihe manly amusements and recreations of the country in which he was bred; as having a well- known dislike to exotic customs and manners ; and as himself bear- ing ihe stamp and charaeter of an English gentle- man, that 1 held up His Royal Highness as an example to others in his exalted station. By these qualifications Lmyself set great store; for there is a sort of bastard refinement now in vogue in this country, which is not only ill- suited to its character and people, but which is as disgusting as it is pernicious, and which, when minutely looked into, is nothing less than a mask for profligacy, heart- lessness, and insincerity.— Of the much lamented Duke as a Commander- in- Chief it is not for me to speak. An abler pen than mine will hand down hii character to posterity, and doubtless do him justice, In the mean time let me record the compliment paid to the goodness of His Royal Flighness's heart from a quarter that cannot be suspected of flattering him — namely, that 44 he never broke a promise, nor ever deserted a friend." Such, we know, is the testimony of the Ai" y ; and such, 1 believe to be the suffrages of all who have honesty to speak the truth."-— Nimrod. PETERBOROUGH.— The following is a friendly play upon the names of the good citizens;— A stranger going to Peterborough, may see Walton, Chatham, Nottingham, Southwell, Barton, Sheffield, and York, without stirring out of the place; and if these are not sufficient, he may pay a visit to Che- shire and Wales, and even Flanders, without going on the continent, and ancient Rhodes without sailing up the Mediterranean. A multiplicity of trades may be met with, such as Millers, Bakers, Barbers, Tailors, Porters, and Smiths in abundance, Clerks, Cooks, Carters, Fishers, Fowlers, Masons, Coopers, Turners, and Ploughwrights. Ilis attention will be attracted by an heterogeneous mixture of names, trades, and callings; for. instance, he may see a Millersitting cross legged makinga pair of breeches, a Bishop working at a carpenter's bench, a Dean with a trowel in his hand, a Mason wielding a butcher's cleaver, a Porter administering medicines to the sick, a Sergeant mustering* a flock, of sheep, while a Shepherd has not a single sheep to look after. As a sad caprice of fortune and the vicissi- tudes to which human nature is liable, he may see a King in a humble cottage dining on bread and cheese, a Pope thrashing in a barn, a Deacon breaking stones on the highway, a Mayor probably making a tin saucepan, an Alderman selling farthing carries, and a Parson on a cobler's stall mending an old shoe. He may also see a Squire going to daily labour, and a Noble in the workhouse ; yet so unfortunate is this poor creature with his situation, that he has an Andrew and a Merryman every day to support— The geography of the place is very remarkable: in one part of the town Night may be seen at twelve o'clock at noon, and, at another, Day may be seen at midnight. The weather, too, is not less remarkable; for Frost, Snow, and Hail may be sieen every day during summer, and when tired of the gloomy days of November, he will behold March. Nay, what is more, some unfortunate fellows have, to their cost, experienced the effects of Spring in full vigour for six months in the house of correction. But though the weather is so vari- able there are pleasant gardens: there are Vines, Plants, Stocks, Roses, innumerable, Peaches, Figs, and Lemons. There are several Bowers and Har- bours, and what may seem more strange, Flowers in full bloom as black as Soot. Notwithstanding the town is well paved and lighted, yet it is dangerous walking; for he will meet not only with Gates and Stiles, but even with Wells, Pitts, and Hills, Brooks, and Caves, in the principal streets; yet, with all these disadvantages, a sportsman may find amuse- ment. Fie will meet with Woods and Underwoods, Hares, Drakes, and Partridges, or he may chase the Wild Bore, and, if fond of game dissected, he may find a Head, a Wing, a Foot, a Heart, and aTongue. — There are also several natural curiosities. There are the soaring Eagle and the stately Swan; a Bull may be seen walking on two legs; a live Salmon which measures upwards of six feet; a Beaver not amphibious; a Parrot of the enormous weight of ten stone ; Swallows and Martins, which, contrary to the received opinion, neither emigrate nor remain in a torpid state, but may be seen equally as lively in the winter season as in the summer. A short time since, a remarkable Female who resided in this place was constantly attired iu man's apparel, and even now a Good Man may be seen every day dressed like a lady ; and a Justice once walked the streets of tbe city in petticoats. COCKING.— A Grand Main of Cocks was fought in this town, last week, between J. Bellyse, Esq. of Cheshire, and Captain Berrington, of Gloucestershire, which terminated in favour of ihe latter gentleman, by three battles in the main, and four in Ihe byes. The number of battles fought were fifty— 33 for the main, and 17 byes, the whole of which were admirably contested.— Cheltenham, Chronicle. At Leicester sessions, 6n the 15th instant, Johu Maslin, a porter employed at the Defiance Coach Office in that town, was convicted of stealing a parcel on the 9th July last, containing two hundred sove- reigns, and six pounds weight of tea, which had been- sent by the above mentioned coach from Messrs., Bradley, of Crutched Friars, in London, to Mr. Josephf Bradley^ of Ashhorne, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. Johu Hill, who had been a clerk four years at the office, and apprehended as a confederate, was admitted evidence. CANTERBURY PHILOSOPHICAL INSTITUTION.— The lightning conductor attached to the new build- ing of this Institution, having of late become the subject of much controversy amongst the members and others, an offer was made by some scientific gentlemen belonging* to the Institution to demon- strate to the members and to the public, by means of a series of experiments, the impropriety and danger of allowing the conductor to remain fixed a » at present. Our readers are probably aware ( the Kent Herald is the paper quoted) that the conductor consists of an iron rod elevated a few feet above the building, from which a branch rod proceeds in a horizontal direction to the upper part of the copper roof. It was intended by the projectors of the plan,. i that should the roof be struck with lightning, the fluid would pass along the branch to the main conductor, and from thence down to the earth, to the complete security of the building.' On the other hand, it was maintained that, 4 should an electric cloud discharge itself on the top of the rod, the horizontal branch conductor would immediately convey the greater part of the fluid to the top of the copper roof, to the manifest danger of destroying a greater part of the building.' In consequence of these conflicting opinions, the Society appointed Tuesday last for the consideration of the subject, on which occasion Mr. Jacobs took a clear and com- prehensive view of the Science of Electricity, and clearly demonstrated the fallacy of the first propo- sition, and shewed, by several experiments, that the branch rod, in its present situation, is entirely inadequate to answer the purpose for Which it was intended. The pointed conductor attached to a model ofthe building, with the branch rod in con- tact, was presented to the electric machine. The fluid immediately spread itself over the whole sur- face of the copper roof, from every part of which strong sparks were drawn, and various inflammable substances ignited, with the greatest ease. The same experiments were repeated with the branch- rod not connected with the top of the roof, and no' such effects could be produced. Thus proving to demons! ration the truth of the latter proposition, that 4 should an electric cloud discharge itself on the top of the rod, the horizontal branch conductor would immediately convey the greater part of the fluid to the top of the copper roof, to the manifest claiiger of destroying a great part of the building." Thus, by a few experiments, conducted by men of science, this knotty question has, we hope, been se ® at rest. ANNALS ot GULLING -^ PRICE- TICKET SHOPS.—* A spirit of forcing trade has of late years crept inter London shop- keepiug, to the injury oi fair dealing^ and one of its most palpable ramifications ia the- system of putting the prices of articles in shopi windows, in such a manner as to lead buyers astray. One fellow, for instance, exhibits an article in his window, upon which he placed a large figure, representing to the passing eye— say 19s. to all appearance; but on going in to buy the article it turns out not to be quite so cheap. Tbe buyer stares and says, 44 Why, Sir, it is marked 19s.; S expect it for that price." 44 O dear, Sir," replies- the humbugger, 44 you'll find it marked. 1/. 9s. '" then a little I, scarcely perceptible, is pointed out to the disappointed customer. Inferior articles ar © then placed before him at 19s. and he is absolutely talked out of his money. The best Rowland for an Oliver that ever these ticket fellows received waa from a witty Hibernian, a few weeks ago. Pat had just arrived in London, and wandering about ona day, perceived a blanket in a window marked thus: 44 This superior blanket for half price,'* the vej* y thing he wanted, for he was an economical soul, and yet fond of the luxury of a warm and comfortable snooze. In he quietly walked, and addressed the shopkeeper on the subject.— 44 I want to buy that blanket, Sir," says Pat. It was instantly placed before him, with numerous recommendations to the buyer's notice. 44 Please tell me the price of itv Sir," says he. " Five shillings," replied the seller. 44 By my shoul, and chape enough too, and as I need it I will buy it," says Pat; and » o after folding up the blanket, and putting it tightly under bis arm, he coolly put down half- a- crown, and was respectfully taking his leave, when the active shopkeeper leaped over the counter and intercepted his customer's passage into the street, demanding two shillings and sixpence more. The Hibernian gentleroa- ro insisted that he had advertised the blanket in ques- tion at half price, and says he, 44 Didn't you say your price was five shillings? consequently, half- price is half of that; so the devil burn myself and the blanket if I give up my bargain." Scuffling followed, but John found Pat rather a rough cus- tomer, and therefore called in the aid of a constable. All would not do; the blanket he would have, and, to put an end to the dispute, all the parties adjourned to Bow- street, when, after a patient examination before the worthy magistrate, Pat was permitted to1 retain his purchase, and the blanket- seller warned never more to ticket his goods in the window for sale at half- price— Dublin Mercantile Advertiser.
