Interesting Letter from Lincoln. GENTLEMEN, | RS. JANE CARTER, of Goltho. ML near W rag by, was for many years afflicted with a disorder which preyed upon her health, and brought her to a very feeble state ; and from there being scrofu- lous sores and eruptions, shr v- as l » » d t(> i suspect that her grievous complaints arose from senrvv. She bought several bottles of your ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS, at DRURY and Son's shop, near the S? onebow, Lincoln, and is quite restored ; and, in gratitude, states her case for your perusal. Her words are— I was afflicted for many years with a Scorbuiic Disorder, which was the cause of great suffering to me, both inwardly and outwardly, and it grew worse, until my digestion became bad, and I had no appetite, and could not sleep ; bad eruptions came'out on the face, and other parts my flesh became puffed up and flabby, and the blood chilled, till at length I wasted away to a very alarming degree. The places which broke out did not heal ; aud I have every reason to believe that I should have soon sunk under my sufferings, had not your medicine, which 5 bought at " Messrs. Drur. y's shop, near the Stonehow, Lincoln, completely eradicated the disorder. I first tried a small bottle, and found myself better inwardly, though it brought the complaint more than ever outwardly but, by continuing during one summer, and taking a little at the spring and fal! ofthe year, 1 am restored, after years of suffering, to a state of sound health, which I have been a stranger to ever since I was sixteen years of age. My appetite has improved surprisingly, and my digestion has equally so ; I have got great additional Strength, and now sleep the night through the eruptions and bad break- ings out have all disappeared, leaving. the skin sound, and the complexion of a clear and healthy colour. It is also worthy of notice, lhat some violent windy spasms at the stomach and chest have been., cured at the same time, and I have the happiness of feeling myself quite restored by means of your medicine, concerning which I shall be ready to answer auy enquiries.

THURSDAY, MARCH 15. At the Court nl Brighton, the 5th day of February 1827, presents Ihe King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.— His Majesty having been pleased, by letters patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, to constitute the Most Noble Arthur Duke of Wellington, K. O. and G. C. B. Constable of his Majesty's Tower of I. lmdon, and also Lord Lieutenant of live Tower Hamlets, his Grace this day iu Council took the oaths appointed lo be taken, instead of the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy, as constable of the said Tower, and as Lord Lieutenant of Ihe said Tower Hamlets, and likewise the oath of Constable of the Tower of London. HE LATE DCKE OF YORK.— On moving the Address of Condolence to His Majesty, upon the death of His late Royal - Highness the Duke of York, Mr. Peel mentioned one interesting circumstance, which shewed with what undiminished ardour and anxiety the departed Prince connected eVery feeling ofhis heart with the honour of the British Army! " 1 shall not soon forget,"' said the Right Honourable Gentleman, " the last words I heard from the lips of the Royal Duke, when* nine days before his death hearing ofthe landing of part of the troops at Lisbon', he said, with a faint expression of honest triumph, ' I wish any man could compare the state of the brigade of British troops disembarked at Ostend, in 1794, with that ofthe corps now landed at Lisbon." These, on my honour, were the last words I heard from the lips of the Duke of York." How strongly they proved the undying interest which linked his noble heart, even to its last moment of conscious- ness, with the character of the Army, whose welfare1 and glory had been, for thirty years, the object ot' his constant solicitude! From the last German Papers we learn that the progress of the Reformation, now that ihe Holy Scriptures are more generally read, is extending itself even lo the Catholic Princes of Germany. The Prince of Salra having renounced Ihe errors of the church of Rome, has been congratulated on his con - version lo Protestantism, by the King of Prussia, i » terms every way suitable to the occasion. WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQ.— The will of Ibis gentleman bas just been proved by his sole executor, and steady friend, Dr. Ireland, Dean of Westminster. The probate is taken out under £ 25,000 persona) property. He gained very little by his Baviad and Marviad; and for bis editions of Ben Jonson and Massinger, ( lie booksellers gave him less than £ 800. Gifford has left the bulk of his fortune to ihe Rev. Mr. Cookeslev, who is likewise his residuary legatee. He leaves his bouse in James- street, for ihe rcmaindef of tbe term, nearly thirty years, and a legacy, to Mis. Hoppner, widow of the eminent portrait. painter, and legacies of a few hundreds each to her daughters. He leaves a sum of money, the interest of which is to be distributed annually amongst the poor of Ashhurlou. He likewise leaves to Exeter College another sum, the foundation of an annual scholarship. Three thousand pounds are left to ihe relatives of bis beloved maid- servant, who was buried in South Audley Chapel, where ihe poet himself intended to repose, but fur Ihe pressing requsst of his grateful executor, who was anxious ( hat Gift'ord's remains should be mingled with Ihe great aud good in Poets' Corner, Westminster- abbey. He has left to Mr. Heber his edition of Mattaire's Classics, and any oilier books Mr. Heber may choose to fancy. To Mr. Murray, the bookseller, he leaves £ 101 as a memo- ial; likewise 500 guineas, to enable bin) to reimburse military gentleman, to whom be appears to have become jointly bound for the advance of that sum for Mr. Cookcslcy, at a former period. He leaves to his executor, Or. Ireland, 50 guineas, and any of his books the Dean may select. He requests his execu- tors to destroy ail confidential papers, especially those - biting to the Review, so that tbe illustrated Quar^ • rly, mentioned in all Ihe journals, in which tiie allies of the authors, and Ibe prices paid for each article, were inserted, will never see the light. Oilier legacies to obscure individuals are likewise left. There are various codicils to the will. The whole is in the hand- writing of Mr. Giffotd. The news from Greece is of a gratifying nature; the tide of affairs appears to have turned in favour of the Greek cause, aud success to have attended the operations of their commanders by sea and land. 11 isstated, ns from authority, that Lord Cochrane will sail from the south of France to the seat of war, in the course ofthe present month. The Allgemeinc Zeitung to the 2d inst. contains an article dated St. Petersburgh, January 17, which fives intelligence respecting the operations ia ieorgia, by which ' it appears that the Persians have entrenched themselves in fhe impenetrable ravines and defiles of their frontier, and conse- quently hostilities must be suspended till the return of spring, when the war will be renewed with great vigour on the part of Russia, unless in the mean time a peace should be concluded through the mediation of England. TREATY BETWEEN ENGLAND AND PERSIA — As there appears lu be some misunderstanding especling the treaty now existing iftn ecu this • ouutry and Persia, and on which Colp Stanhope bas given notice of a motion at the East India House, the following statement may be acceptable lo our eaders -.— he first cause which brought the power of Russia nto contact with Persia, was the exertions made by Peler the Great to extend Ibe commerce and iufiucncc of Russia in the East, and from lhat period to the pre- sent time, aggrandizement of territory in Persia has been followed up by Ibe reigning monarchs of Russia, either by actual violence, by fomenting insurrections amongst the Persian chiefs, or, in more recent years, by evasive treaties, and by keeping up a considerable military force on the frontier. The actual connexion of England with Persia may be dated in 1800, when Sir John Malcolm was sent on a mission lo Teheran 5 ubsequenlly, other missions were dispatched lo tbe Persian Court, both by England and France. In 1814, however, a treaty was ratified, in which year, by Ihe mediation of the British Ambassador, a treaty of peace was concluded at Goolistan, by which Persia ceded 10 Russia all her ' acquisitions south of the Caucasus, aod engaged to maintain 110 navy iu the Caspian, whilst Russia became bound 10 aid the heir to lite Crown of Persia against all ihe competitors for the Ibrone. This treaty was afterwards modified, and the existing one arose from it, and by which Great Britain is bound to pay lo Persia a subsidy of 200,000 tomans annually, lo maintain troops in Ihe event of her being attacked by any Power at war wiili England; ami should she be attacked by any Power at peace with England, we engage to use our me- diation towards an amicable adjustment of their differences, but should it fail, lo pay Ibe subsidy as above mentioned. Persia, on her side, engages to obstruct any Power seeking to pass through her country for ihe purpose of invading India. This treaty is, therefore, exclusively defensive, as slated in the document.— Times. THE SANDIWELL CAUSE.— This important eject- ment cause, which was to have been kied at tbe last Summer Assizes for Gloucester, bu? was post- poned 011 account of the absence of Mr. Sergeant Wilde, who was specially retained on Ihe. part of the lessor ofthe plaintiff, is to be brojght to trial it the ensuing Spring Assizes. A motion on the. defendant's part having been made iu the King's Bench for judgment, as in the case of a nonsuit, on account of the record having been withdrawn at the last Assizes, a peremptory undertaking has been given by the lessor of the plaintiff to try the cause at the next Assizes. We understand that affidavits were filed in answer to those ou which the de. fondant's rule Nisi for judgment was obtained, which disclosed some special circumstances as connected with the cause of Ihe postponement of the trial in August last; but the parties have- refrained from giving publicity to . their cuitentB.- Sunday Times. • Imperial H- XVLIAMTNT. HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. FM JO RATI OR*. _ ...... Mr. VV HORTOM rose, pfir » uanl to the notice which fie had I> i\ fII before the n- cesK, to m-> ve for tho irppoitH- meut of a fresh Emigration Committee; and he oh- served that what he - should have to address to the House would be more in his eharacier of (? hai. n « an of the last Committee which sift ou the subject', and to explain nnd give an account of the evidence which had been add need hefoi e it, than to holdout e xpectaUoos of any definite mea^ ine to he adopted respecting if. Tu J 823, it would ho reeolh- cted ths* t an emigration of a f< w individuals took place from- the south of Ireland to Upper Canada;, it w as indeed « » f NO trifling u nature as to make no sensible.. diminution of the population there; " the ehief ol jeet of it was 10 make au experiment how far s- nch a measure might he pracficaMe and beneficial. In IS' 25 another vole for a further experiment was proposed to the House, and was opposed' as being con- irary- b\ somjil principle. It was observed that partial emigrations could do no good, and that to be of any service ih. e plan n> o* t he rot. dueled on a much moie extended scale. To- this it was replied, that it was merely intended as an experiment ; and, at length, the vote was agreed to on condition that a Committee s houfd l » e appointed to examine into the subject.; that Coimniitee sat last Session, and proceeded to collect a iid examine evidence to a great - .". tent, but although it had procured' much and valuable information, it bad by no means exhausted the subject. A number of families we, r<> in comiequenc'e removed from Ireland to T'pper Canada, under the superintendence of Mr. Robinson,. aud of these families, fo the number of one Mind red and eighty, one hundred and twenty had' located themselves." The others earned their sub- sistence as laboureis, for w hich purpose they proceeded during the summer to the Uuiled States; but, as he had before said, one hundred and twenty families had rooted the- inse- lves in the soil on which they Were praced. and were al this moment living- there, prosper- ous and happy. By calculations whieh had been made, and w hich would be submitted to the Committee about to be appointed, it was estimated' that the property belonging to ihe families thus planfed, amounted in 382( i to £ 7000, and it was further estimated that, at the end of sercu years from their first establishment, that property would lie augmented to £ 30,000. Here then, he continued, was the gratifying spectacle of a pauper population- removed from a state of otter destitution to a soil incalculably fruitful where, if it were but scratcheo, so productive was it, >•<•>• would be a hiii veui as abundant any that could be raised in this country, notwithstanding all the advantages which we detived from a long continued ennr « e of cultivation. It up pestred also, from the evidence, that ihe emigrants vtere perfectly satisfied with their condition. The Right Ron. Gentleman then proceeded to shew the expediency of re- appointing a Committee to impure into the subject of Emigration from the United King- dom by the unemployed portion of the labouring' classes ; nnd after a luminous explanation of the in- tended purposes, and nn affecting description of the present wants among nn almost con. nil ess number of the wot kiuo- population, he proceeded : — If the means of supplying the unemployed with work could be found without having recourse to emigration, God foibid that they shou'd be reutovrd from their native country. But as no oilier substitute had been discovered or jm'ggested, was it not at h ast worth while to inquire whether the redundancy now existing was not of a permanent nature, and whether » partial removal was not the only means of restoring- that comfort which it must he the object of every well- regu'ated community to seeute for . its labouring population? He could. see no other prospect of accomplishing that- object. The introduction of machinery, though tending to increase tfip evil by lessening the demand for labour, was of undoubted benefit to the country, and one of the greatest sources of national strength. Emigration, or Urate property speaking, colonization, feasible as it e vidently was, would be of the greatest advantage to the country, if it could be effected at £ 20 a head— a sum which, he begged it to be remembered, x^ otrld not be lost to the public, independently of the good which lie anticipated from it being so applied — ns the parties removed by its means would be enabled to change their situation as pauper* to that of small capitalists and p'oprietors, with the power of making partial repay- ments. If any thing could be shewn as a substitute for emigration which would be equally efficacious, then he was ready to say that emigration should be avoided. But he believed that no such substitute could be found ; lhat the former committep deserved well of the public for their labours ; and that it was only by following up their researches, nnd acting upon their conclusions, that a real and efficient remedy could be found.- With litis impression on his mind, and from a conviction that there was no course but that of emigiaiion, which could Fut an end to evils and miseries in this country and re land nlmest too painful lo be dwell Upon, be should conclude by moving— that the Committee to consider of tbe expediency of emigration should here- appointed. Mr. JAMES GRATTAN objected to ihe motion as calculated lo mislead the public. The intention of the Kight Hon. Gentleman wa< no doubt very good, but if •• migration was carried to the extent recommended, it rotild not be justified — nothing, indeed, conld be more unjustifiable than to require the House, in the present state of tbe finances of tbe country, to advance £ 20 a bead to transport people to Canada. If they wished, as it was said, to make people comfortable, let them apply the same stun to make them comfortable at home, and they would find their efforts much more beneficial ; let them reform the system ; let them compel the Irish landlords to adopt means for the improvement of the condition of their tenantry, and give the people em- ployment at home. The Hon. Member moved, as an amendment, 4< that the state of distress existing in this country at present, nnd the still greater distress whii h lias existed for so many years in Ireland, require some more immediate and permanent remedy than that which could be expected to result fiom the re- appointment of n Committee on Emigration."— Mr. LOMBK seconded the amendment., which, was supported'hy Mr. BRIGHT nnd Mr. HUME. The original motion was powerfully SUPPORTED by Mr. BROWNLOW, Colonel TORRRXS, Mr. BARING, and Mr. Secretary PEEL, and was finally carried without a division. FRIDAY. The Earl of Livrnpooi. in the House of Lord*, and Mr. Secretary PBPI. in the Commons, moved nn Ad- dress to His Majesty, in reply ton Message sent down from His Majesty on the preceding evening, recom- mending a further provision for the Duke and Duchess of Clarence. It appears that the Duke has hitherto en- joyed a Parliamentary allowance of £ 26,500 per annum, and that hit Royal Highu- s*-, on the death of the Duke of York, became entitled to a further annual sum of £ 3000, being part of an amount originally appropriated to the Royal Princes, with benefit of survivorship. The proposition made by Ministers was, that a further sum of £ 3000 per « t » pum should be settled on the Duke, making his total allowance £ 32,500 ; nnd that a separate grant of £ 0000 per annum should he made to the Duchess. No discussion upon the subject arose with their Lord- ships ; but in the House of Commons it gave rise to a lengthened debate. Lord " ALTHORP objected to the proposition on the ground of the depressed stale of the country. Mr. RUMB contended that the motion was altogether unnecessary, and without precedent ; be therefore moved as an amendment, the adjournment of the question. , Mr. CURWEN, Mr. MONCK, Mr. BROUGH- AM, Mr. ABBRCROMKIB, nnd Mr. G. ROBINSON, also objected to the grant; nnd Colonel WOOD, Mr. Secretary Pspr., Mr. CALCRAFT, and Mr. FERGUSON, spoke in its favour. On the Committee dividing, the numbers were— for the Address 107— against it 75— majority 92. The report was then ordered to be presented on Monday., to which day the House adjourned. In the Commons, on the question thnt the House should go into a Committee on the Ordnance Estimates, Mr. MAEERI. Y proposed, that before any further giant* were voted, on Estimate shohld be. laid upon the table of the Income and Expenditure of the present year. Tlie Hon. Member grounded his motion on the filer of the income and expenditure cf the last year havino- differed very materially in iheir result from " the estimate which had been made by the Chancellor of the Esehe- quer; and, in confirmation of his assertion, referred to the account which had beeu published, and by which it appeared that there was only a surplus of about £ 1,000,000 of income over the expenditure, not includ- ing in tbe latter ihe Sinking Fund of £ 5,600,000, and consequently, lhat there wtts at) actual deficiency of upwnid* of £ 4,500,000. The CHANCEi t. ou of the EXCHKQUFR replied with the candour which always characterises bis financial state- ments. He admitted the deficiency, and that he had been loo sanguine in some of his expectations of the revenue of last j ear, while circumstances, which he detailed, had increased the expenditure. He shewed, however, that the estimate which he had made, some years since, of the average revenue during a series of years, bad been verified, and declared that l? p should be nble lo satisfy the House when he brought forward his mutual expose of the financial situation " of the country thnt there was no good reason to infer that we were not able to support those establishments on tlie maintenance of which llie safety of Ihe connii v depended. The House then proceeded wilh the Ordnance Estimates which Wi re voted, nnd the lieporl ordeted to he hroin. llt up on Monday. . " Numerous Petitions, for nnd against ihe Com Law, nnd for aud against Catholic Emancipation, were pre- sented in each House during, the week. LOFS DON— SATURDAY. J PottT! CAL.— Bv tiie intelligence received from Portugal to- day, it appears that the rebel*, who were, driven on the Stli ult. from Beira into Spain, re- entered in scattered parties, but in considerable force, into Tras- os- Moutes, of which their friends had retained possession, and, assembling; their forces under the Viscount Canellas and other leaders, drove the Constitutionalists out of Chaves, of whieh they had taken possession, and advanced to the bridge of Salamondo, the northern pass into the province of Minho. This puss was defended by a body of 300 Constitutionalists for soma time, but was at last forced, the defenders dispersing themselves in the mountains, flaying thus made good their entrance into the province of Minho, an undertaking in whieh Chaves failed when he attempted it before, the rebels marched to Braga on the 30ih of January, which they occupied ; thence to Guimaraens, oue of the richest and best affected towns of the province, and from thence to within nine miles of Oporto, the inhabitants of whieh were thrown into a state of fhe utmost alarm. In the mean time, however, part ofthe constitutional troops in Beira were sent to the defence of Oporto, w hile others, collected under the Count de Villa Flor, entered Minho by the bridge of jiiuarante-, and proceeded against the rebels, whom tiie speedily compelled to retreat from Guimaraens and Braga, but the details of their last movements are yet confused and uncertain. A battle is reported to have taken place on fhe 4th. ! t must be confessed that this turn of affairs in Portugal is rather unexpected, after the accounts previously received, through the Madrid and Paris papers, ofthe dispersion of the rebels, the flight of De Chaves, and his arrival in a wounded state at Salamanca. If, indeed, it be true tiiat he ever did seek refuge in that city, his re- appearance in Portu- gal at the head of a body of men which penetrated to within a few miles of Oporto, would lead to serious reflections.

[ In reference to the above, our Private Corre- spondent, in his letter dated Monday night, A past 7, says—" A report was strongly circulated about the House of Lords this evening, that dispatches had been received, announcing the death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, at Strelitz. That some intelligence has reached Government respecting His Royal Highness we are inclined to believe; but, on enquiry, we could not trace the rumour of the Duke's death to any foundation."] Field- Marshal the Duke of Wellington held his first Levee, on Wednesday, as Commander- in- Chief, at his office, in the Horse Guards; when 36 generals, and about seventy other officers, paid their respects to his Grace. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL. The calamity*— for such it is— which has befallen the country, by the sudden and deplorable illness of the Earl of Liverpool, occupies the undivided atten- tion of all classes. Mingled with those political speculations which are inseparable from Eiich an event— is a feeling of deep and sincere regret, founded upon the hiirh estimation in which the Noble Earl has been held, on account ofthe sterling integrity and unquestionable purity of his character. Among the many who are the public opponents of his Lordship, there is not one who blends with his opposition the most remote feeling of personal hostility. He may be said to possess the confidence of the country beyond any Minister, perhaps, that ever presided over its affairs. Hence the sorrow which is felt at the awful visitation which has befallen him, is so general and so unfeigned. It appears that his Lordship was suddenly seized when at breakfast on Saturday, by an attack both of an apoplectic and paralytic nature. His servant went into the room, and found his Lordship had fallen from his chair. Fortunately, Dr. Drever, bis Lordship's Private Physician, happened to be in the house, al the moment, and immediate relief was administered. In a short time the Noble Earl was sufficiently recovered to be removed to his bed; and although the state in which he remained was such as to occasion, throughout the whole of yester- day, the most painful anxiety, yet, at a late hour last night, the unfavourable symptoms were so far relieved as to allow of indulging in the fervent hope, that every thing was as satisfactory as could be expected under ( he distressing and alarming circumstances of his case. This morning the following bulletin was issued at Fife House. 11 Lord Liverpool litis passed a tolerable good night, niul is a lillle better this morning." His Lordship litis been, for some time, in a de- licate state of health, but it was not apprehended, either by his medical attendants or his friends, that he was in danger of so dreadful an attack as that which he has experienced. His Lordship is in his fifty seventh year, having been born on the 7th of June, 1770. It is greatly to be feared, that though skilful medical treatment may prolong the Nohle Earl's life some years, the resumption of his public duties, as Prime Minister, cannot be expected. A t< 5tai cessation from all mental exertion will be imper- atively necesary. Mr. Secretary Peel, and Mr. Lushington, both left town ou Saturday, for Brighton : the former, to communicate the painful intelligence to his Ma- jesty ; the latter to apprize Mr. Canning of it. We should greatly fear the communication would have an unfavourable effect upon the health of the Right Honourable Gentleman, in its present de- licate condition; both from the shock which it would give to his feelings, and from the anxiety which it must necessarily produce with respect to the situation of many itiomenteons public questions. In all probability, nn arrangement w ill take place in both Houses of Parliament this evening, by which it will be understood, that only the i rdinary routine business of Parliament will be proceeded in, under the extraordinary circumstances in which the country is placed by the incapacity of Ihe Noble Earl and Mr. Canning to attend in their seats. AN event like this, naturally gives rise lo various rumours and conjectures; but we feel no disposition to mix ourselves up with them, for reasons which must be sufficiently obvious. Names are freely mentioned— and supposed party views as freely canvassed— which are, in truth, nothing more than the idle gossip of the town, or the loose guesses of thosC- who settle every complicated question of state in an easy, oil- baud manner. A Cabinet Council is summoned for three o'clock to- day.— Courier. [ From ovr Private Correspondent."] HOUSE OF LORDS— MONDAY.

KILLED BY A LION.— On Thursday evening last, the following dreadful occurrence took place. At the Star Inn, in Bedminster, was a caravan of wild beasts, and the keeper being in want of an attendant, a person who had from his infancy been accustomed to the business, offered his services on the Wednesday, and was accepted He was, however, cautioned not to go within reach of any of the beasts ; this caution he unhappily neglected. A party, came to see the anirnalr, and as the lion was asleep and did not appear willing to rise, the meni imprudently went into his den. The beast suddenly awakened, and probably hungry and alarmed at the presence of a stranger, darted for. ward a paw, with which he seized the shewman by the shoulder, at the same moment with the other he dreadfully lacerated the face. The miserable man cried piteously, and struggled to get loose, but his efforts were in vain, and tho lion, now infuriated, seized him by the throat with his mouth, and held him in that situation until death put a period to the too horrible sufferings ofthe victim. A gentleman happening to pass, who lived in the neighbourhood immediately brought his pistols; and another per son called to a blacksmith, who had a piece of iron red- hot, to afford assistance, but it was twenty minutes before the animal would quit his prey, although his mouth was much burned; at length the head of the unhappy man fell from his jaws, spectacle too horrible for description, when the body was drawn from the cage. We understand that under ordinary circumstances, the animal was exceedingly quiet and docile, so much so, indeed, that two women and two children had actually been in the cage with him on the preceding day. W hope this will be a warning to persons not to entrust themselves within the reach of sudh ferocious ani- mals. rfHE following ADDRESS of CON- A DOLEXCE from IV EN LOCK was presented by Lord FORESTER to HiS MAJESTY, and most graciously received. " We, ynur Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Sub. iects, the Bailiff, Burgesses, and Commonalty of the Town and Liberties of Wenloek, in the County of Salop, in Common Hall assembled, hrtmbly beg Per- mission to approach your Majesty, most sincerely to offer our heartfelt Condolence on the melancholy Loss which we have sustained by the Death of your Majes- ty's illustrious Brother, his late Royal Highness the Duke of York and Albany.

That your Petitioners respectfully maintain, that a conclusive Argument in Favour of'their dawn to ( nt least) ns much Protection as they receive under the present Corn Laws is, that an Annual Revenue of Fifty Million* is required for the Service of the State ; that with this Amount of Taxation, equally home by the Agriculturist in common with everv other Member of Society ( but to w hich is to be superadded, as more peculiarly affecting Ihe Landed Interest, Land- Tax, Tythe, Poor, Church, and County Rates, and the Repair ofthe Roads), it is utterly impossible that the Produce of the Soil can be afforded in this Country ou the sr. nie Terms as in Countries not subjected to the same Disadvantages, for the Magnitude of tbe Funded Debt lias placed this Country in Cirfnmstnnces pecu- liar and unprecedented in I tie History of the World. If this Debt did not exist, or if its A mount were com- paratively so small as not to affect ( as it now does) every pecuniary Transaction in the Kingdom, the British Agriculturist would need no Protection, fur, wilh his superior Skill and greater Capital, he could then afford the Produce of Ihe Soil on as cheap Terms as it could be brought hither from the Foreign Market. But your Petitioners are fully sensible of tho parn motml Obligations to preserve the Public I'aitli inviolate, and they have always cheerfully contributed their Proportion towards the Payment of the National Creditor, [ f, however, the Property of the Agri- culturist is lo he so depreciated as to disable him from paying bis Proportion of direct and indirect Taxation, one Result is inevitable— a Deficiency of the Revenua out of which the Dividends due to the Public Creditor lire paid must ensue, and that Deficiency ean only he supplied ( if supplied at all) by leryinjr heavier Contributions on nil other Classes'; the'Self- Interest of the Public Creditor is, therefore, identified with the Welfare of the Agriculturist. , ^ That your Petitioners deeply deplore the JDistresV now prevailing among the Manufacturing Classes ; but they conceive that the present Slate of the Markets, which would have been lower stiil but for the late deficient Harvest, furnishes the strongest Evidence of its being attributable to other Causes than the Price of Corn. Indeed, they believe that occasional Checks are inseparable from Manufactures. The Facility with which Capital can be embarked, the Expecta- tion of a quick Return of Profits, together with t1: e high Degree of Perfection to which Machinery has ' WD brought, must have a Tendency frequently to, Create an Excess of Supply. Your Petitioners, - how- ever, are not unwilling to bear any temporary Sacri- fices on their Part which such accidental Emergencies (\ jvhen they do occur) may require from thenr; nnd they deprecate the Attempts which have been mnde to alray the Manufacturing and Trading Classes in unnatural Opposition to their Agricultural Country- men, since the Interests of each can only be promoted by the Prosperity of all. The Agriculturists look to the Manufacturer and the Tradesman for tbe Coneump, tion of their Surplus Produce, and the Manufacturer and the Tradesman must regard the Agriculturists as their very best Customers. In answer to the mon- strous and extravagant Positions which have been^ industriously advanced to excite the hostile Feelings ofthe Manufacturing and Trading Classes, the Fact, as avowed by one of the highest Authorities of the Kingdom on the Question, cannot be too strongly urged, that, if even the whole Rental of the Country were remitted, it would be impossible fo return to the Prices before the War; and that, let the Law on the ^ Subject be what it may, with our Burdens, the Price of Bread can never be less than double what it was before the War, 3 That your Petitioners disclaim all Wish to seek any Bene'fit to themselves by the Injury of others. They desire no more than what is equitable and just-— a steady, unvarying, " but remunerating Price for the Productions of the Soil. Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly trust, that your Honourable House, after having given the maturest Consideration to the Subject in all its Bearings, will secure to the British Agriculturist that just Protection which will give him at least a Preference over Foreigners in the Markets of his Native Country. And your Petitioners will, as in Duty bound, ever proy, See. & ALOP3AM FIVE GUINEAS REWARD.

Oh ! what is Pleasure, in whose chase Life's one brief day is made a ruca Of vanity and lightness? A Slar, to gaze on whose bright crown, We wait until the sun goes down, Ami find, when it lias o'el us shone, No warmth ill all ils brightness. And what is Friendship? That false fiow'r Which spreads its leaves at daylight's hour, And closes them at eve ; Opening its petals to the light, Sweet. breathing while Ilie sun shines bright, But shut to those who, ' mid tlie night Of doubt and darkness, grieve. And what is Fame ? The smile that slays, The cup in which sweet poison piajs ; At best, the flowery wreath. That's twined around the victim's head, V. hen, ' midst sweet flnw'rs around it spread, And harps'and timbrels' sounds, ' tis led, Melodiously, to death. And what nre iloprs? Gay butterflies That on the breath of fancy rise, Where. e'er the sun- beam lures them ; For ever, ever, on the wing-, Mocking our faint steps following, Aud if at last caught, perishing 111 the grasp that secures tliein. And our Affections, what are they ? Oh 1 blossoms smiling on the spray, All beauty, and all sweetness ; But which the canker may lay bare, Or rude bauds from the branches tear, OL blighting winds leave withering there, Sad types of mortal fleetncss. And what is Life itself? A sail With sometimes an auspicious gale, Aud some bri ght sun- beams round it, JSnt- ofVner amidst tempests east, Tbe low'ring sky, the bowling blast, And ' whelmM beneath the wave at last, Where never plummet sounded.. "' When such a tale, Sir, as your's, is told to the Protestant and Catholic Church — when it is pointed against such a man as Bishop Hallifax — w hen it has been three times produced by such a writer as Dr. Milner— when it is inserted in a work, upon which you seem to have employed the w hole strength of y our vigorous and well cultivated mind— when, if suffered to pass > vifhout refutation, it may expose the memory of a learned English Prelate to infamy among Roman- ists for cowardice, among Protestants for apostacy, and among both for duplicity— when that infamy, by the wide circulation of a book recommended by your name, may extend to foreign countries, and continue through distant generations — when youf statement may lead to consequences so afHictive to a widow, and other sur- viving relatives, and so alarming" to every enlightened and conscientious member of the Church of England ; awful, indeed, Sir, must be your responsibility unto God and unto man, for the truth of your deliberate and reiterated assertions. " Pardon me, Sir, for telling you unreservedly, that, upon the present occasion, your character here, and, in some measure, your salvation hereafter, are interested making war without going through the form of previously declaring it, will scarcely avail those who may resort to it. Passing from these matters, however, on which 1 have already dwelt perhaps too long, I will still venture to detain you a little longer, while I connect with the preceding detail a few considerations more immediately affecting ourselves. After the conclusion of pcace between Persia and Russia, in 1814, the British Government seems to have fell that the integrity of the Persian dominions would be best and most effectually secured., by the preservation of amicable relations with Russia; and, since that period, every thing wh < h could he viewed in the light of a competition for ascendancy in the councils of the Shah appears to have been avoided. We seem to have come to some tacit understanding with Russia on this subject— io have made it our study to avoid coming in collision with her in Asia, and to prevent, if possible, any subjects of discussion between the Governments from being permitted Jo in your speedy, honest, and earnest endeavour to redeem I ^ Q||| of ^ edi a, lhe Coin t* of Tehran ; the pledge,* which, in the foregoing words, you nave f . , < 4 , , 1 :. i._. i u ..„.-.„ i The lale Roman Catholic Bishop Milner, Sfc. Wenoticed iu a former Journal, that a controversy had taken place relative to a charge brought by the late Dr. Milner against the late Sir J. C. Htppisley, - whom Dr. Milner asserts to have died a Roman Catholic.— The assertion has been flatly contradicted by the present Sir John Hippisley, who says it is a gratuitous falsehood, and a most calumnious attack upon his deceased parent —' Fhe Rev. F. Edgeworth, a Roman Catholic Priest, of Bristol, maintains that Dr. Mliner's assertion is founded in truth ; and the. < ontroversy has led to much discussion in the Bristol Papers, as to Dr. Milner's Works.— A correspondent of the Bristol Journal says— Here let me impress on ihe public mind that Bishop Milner, in his book, " ' Ihe End of Religious Conlro. rersv," lays bis Simulation', on a predetermined false- hood '! : This must true assertion shall be fully proved subsequently, bv the acknowledgment of Bishop Milner himself! ( if tlie dangerous tendency of that book, a newspaper is not the proper vehicle for convincing the public ; but the repetition of a single passage in it, will, at a glance, shew the design of the writer, and the public may decide on ( lie intentions of the eulogists of that man, who has left on record these Ijis candid sentiments, which are copied exactly from Mi liter's own book. " The dispute it therefore at an end. Submit, or else you come under the eurse of the church, and are accounted heretics, who ought bg public autho- rity, either spiritual or temporal, to be chastised or EXECUTE O." If the Rev. F. Edgeworth coincides in these sentiments, with the Pope's Vicar Apostolic who- wrote them, let him candidly declare it, and I must decline all further coatcst with him, for 1 acknow. ledge llivself to be such an heretic as this Jesuit bas thus sentenced for execution. If the Rev. P. Eilge- worth endeavours to escape from the position in which he has placed himself, by any subtle evasions, lie is unworthy of future attention. If lie be ashamed of this doctrine, and can deny it to be the doctrine of tbe Romish Church, 1 must consider him as a Protestant, and meriting that " chastisement or execution" so charitably pronounced hy the benevolent, the learned, the veracious, the humane, utwl tme Jesuit, who has ventured to publish in a Protestant Stale lhat nnd many other such sentiments, subversive of the Political Government of the Empire, and directly contrary to the principles of pure Christianity. The following letter, addressed to the Editor of the Bristol Journal, relative to the same work of Dr. Milner, will be read with considerable interest: TO THE EDITOR. S' » , , ... I have heen highly gratified hy your spirited exertions to rescue the. memory of Hie late Sir John Hippisley from the calumny with which il lias been assailed by Dr. Milner. Conceiving il to be the duly of every man, however small his ability may he, to use that little for Ihe benefit of his fellow men, 1 shall contribute my mite to the same cause, by bringing under your notice, nnd lhat of your readers, ( if you think this com. innnicniion worth presenting to tlieni,) a calumny, similar in its nature, but far more atrocious, made bv the same Romish Prelate against a Bishop of the Church of England, the late Dr. Samuel Ilallifax, w ho died in 1700. In Dr. Milner's" End of Religious Controversy," lie three times stales, that on his death- bed Dr. Ilallit'iix became an apostate from that church which his life and his talents had heen spent to uphold. ' Fhe follow- ing is one of those statements— " The present writer ( Dr. Milncr) has been informed on good authority that one of the Bishops, whose calumnies nre here quoted, when he f. mnd himself on bis death bed, refused the proffered ministry of the Primate, and expressed a great wish to die a Catholic, When urged to satisfy his conscience, lie exclaimed, * What then will become of mg ladg and her children V " The late Dr. Parr wrote a very spirited and excellent letter to Dr. Milaer oil sonic passages in his book,- of which this was the principal, It is so extremely apropos lo the present controversy between yourself and Mr Eilgewortb, that 1 will quote n few detached passages. I. hope you will afterwards think proper to favour the public with other extracts from the same pamphlet. Referring lo the above extract from Dr. Milner, Dr. Parr asks— lMu what genuine work which bears Ihe name of Ilallifax, or in what respectable publication which pro- fesses to give a fair and well- founded account of liis faiih aud practice, do yon trace eveii tlie slightest vestiges -. if the thoughts and tbe words which you have ascribed to him ? Reflect, I beseech you, upon the excruciating and perilous situation in which Dr. Halli- fax must have been placed, ( if your narrative, Sir, he well- founded,) at thai moment when hypocrisy, ns Dr. Young says, 4 drops Ihe mask, and real and apparent are the same.' lie, from want of conviction, could not find consolation in the Church of England, aud, from want uf fortitude, he did not seek it in the Church of Home. In a man so accustomed, as Bishop Ilallifax - was, to the study of theology, such a change of senti- ment as you have ascribed to Ijiui could not lie instanta- neous. It was not effected by the interposition of any wily casuist, or any proselyte- hunting zealot, who might take advantage of those circumstances, which sometimes are found ii » the death- chamber of the must virtuous anil Ibe most devout and by such instances, Sir, 1 mean fluttering spirits, an impaired understand- ing, a disturbed imagination, momentary fears succeeded by momentary hopes, one dim and incoherent conception reriidlv succeeded by another, and sentences formed imperfectly, or uttered indistinctly. No, Sir; the Bishop of St. Asaph, according lo your own account, was visi'ed by a Protestant metropolitan. Previously therefore to his dissolution, while afflicted by sicknes's nml oppressed by age, he must have suffered many a pang from conscious insincerity; und upon the near approach of that dissolution, lie was doomed to breathe his last in a disgraceful and dreadful conflict between timidity aud piety — between calls upon his prudence, from the praise nf men, and upon his conscience, from the approbation, of God — between the impulses of paternal and conjugal affection, on one hand, aud of self- preservation on the other— between the opposite and irrecoiicilenhle interests, of time to liis family, and of eternity to his own sunt. " To ihe Primate, who proffered his ministry, and lo the Bishop, who, according, to. your representation, could not avail himself of ii, no appeal can be made, for they nre numbered among the dead. But the facts, said to be known by your unnamed informer, could not be wholly unknown lo those who were under lhe same roof with the expiring Prelate. Such, I mean, Sir, as personal friends, as near relatives, as chaplains, as domestics, and,., perhaps, medical attendants. These men, surely, can bear a direct and decisive testimony to a plain fact. They must have heen deeply impressed by such a conversion as you describe. They must have the evidence of their senses, whether or no such con- version ever occurred ; and upon the supposition that it did ruit occur, if such a host of witnesses be sej in array, in opposition to your anonymous informer, depend upon it that, the attention of all good men will be strongly attracted by this extraordinary case; that their best sympathies will be roused, and that their decision between the veracity of the accuser, aud the merits of the accused, will be ultimately and completely just. Thus far I have expostulated with you, Sir, upon your charges against a Prelate, who, having sunk to the grave, cannot defend himself, and who has been summoned by his Maker to that tribunal,- where his guilt ( ir his innocence cajiuot he unknown, given to every Christian reader of every denomination. It is your boutid'en duty, Sir, to examine strictly, and to communicate fully, the grounds of that probability which led you to believe, and believing to publish, that Bishop Hallifax died a Catholic. 44 It is your bounden duty to unfold all the circum- stances of name and credibility iu that informer, whose authority you declare to be so good as to warrant you in telling a Protestant public, that a Protestant Bishop, and a distinguished advocate of Protestantism, " when he found himself upon his death- bed, refused the proffered ministry of the Primate, expressing a great wish to die a Catholic; and that, being urged to satisfy his conscience, he exclaimed— what then will become of my lady and my ehildren?,,- f' u It is your bounden duty, without the smallest reservation, and in the most unequivocal terms, to explain the nature and extent of those reasons which you thought sufficient to justify you in affirming that n late Warburtonian Lecturer ( Bishop Hallifax) upon his death- bed lamented that he could uot, like Luther, threaten to unsay all that he had said against the Pope ; like Melancthon, lament that Protestants had renounced him; or like a Beza, was unable to negotiate, not indeed for returning fo the Pope, but for announcing to him the conversion of an English Bishop to the Church of Rome." How consistently Dr. Milner acted with the pledge he gave, let every individual judge, when he is inform- ed that in March, 1825, the son of Bishop Hallifax called upon him for the name of his informant, and that, five months after, he had not deigned to return any answer, nor has it ever come to my knowledge that the call was answered, up to the day of his death. So much for Dr. Milner's talent at calumniating fhe dead. Now for a short specimen of his application of the same talent to the living, and of tbe well- merited castigation which he receives at the hands ofthe Rev. Dr. Parr. In his work already alluded to he has abused in a virulent manner Dr. Rennell, tbe venerable Dean of Winchester,. culling him a second Luther, and basely insinuating a doubt respecting his sincerity in the pro- fession of the principles of Protestantism. This dis- graceful conduct called forth from Dr. Parr the follow- ing excellent and pointed observations •. — Dr. Milner,— I have not presumed, to hold you up to the scorn aud abhorrence of Protestants, nor to let loose upon you the hideous appellations of bigotted controverlist, falsifier, calumniator, incendiary, perse- cutor, a modem Bonuer, and an English Malagrida. I have treated you, Sir, with the courtesy which is due to a Roman Catholic dignitary, who professes to teach the religion of a meek, lowly, and benevolent Redeem- er ; to have received, in an especial manner, his legitimate ordination and divine mission in a direct succession from the Apostolic age; and to plate the cause of that only true church, which exclusively lays claim to unity, to sanctity, to catholicity, to apostoHcity, and to the visible protection of the Omnipotent in a series of miraculous interpositions, vouchsafed for the illustration . of that church, through the long space of eighteen centuries. But if the English Ecclesiastic, whose private conversation you have confessedly di- vulged, should, in reality, not be the contemptible and execrable miscreant, which a modern Luther, according to your delineation of his prototype, must he, then, Sir, I leave it with yourself to find a proper - name for that writer, who in the nineteenth century, and in a civilized country, should present to his readers, Catholic or Pro testant, such a portraiture as you have exhibited, of such au. ecclesiastic as Dr. Rennell." With a hope that this aud similar exposures may tend to shew in their true light the principles of the Holy Roman Church, thus ably, commented upon by the practice of one of the most apostolic of her sons. I remain, Sir, your's, ALPHA. * This pf « dge is given in Dr._ M'ilner's Preface, in the following words.--" The writer is far from claiming iner- rancy, but he should despise himself, if he knowingly pub- lished any falsehood, or hesitated to retract any one that he was proved to have fallen into." f The Reviews- r of Dr. Parr's Letter in the Imperial Maga- zine for August, 1825, says, " An obvious proof of the false, hood of the whole story is exhibited in the words put into th ® mouth of the dying- Bishop, who never did and never could have thus spoken of his wife. He would have said, 41 Mrs. HalJifax," as he always was accustomed to do." PERSIA. [ The following Extract is copied from an interesting Article upon the State of Persia, which appears in the last Number ot' . Blackwood's Magazine; and, we have reason to believe, it is written , by a Gentleman well acquainted with the politics of that kingdom ] J do not mean to accuse the Court of St. Peters- burg!) of a determination to force a war upon Persia, nor do I blame its envoy for what has occurred ; but there can be no doubt that tlie harsh, intemperate, and unjust conduct of the Government of Georgia has been the cause of the war, and that Russia owes it. to her character for justice and moderation ( if she desires to establish such a character , to investigate, calmly and impartially, the occurrences on her southern frontier, and, if she finds them unworthy of her own greatness, to discountenance and disavow them. There is nothing extraordinary in all this. It will be found that the distant representatives of a govern ment are almost always more jealous and more intemperate than the government itself; and that, entering info discussions with all the warmth and virulence of personal feelings, and all the pride of power, they are continually goading aud harassing their weaker neighbours, with whom they may have occasion- to communicate. Persia, on this occasion, will labour under the disadvantage of being considered more likely to pervert the facts, and lo violate her engagements, than Russia; and she will, no doubt, be accused of having done but we must not hastily decide against her on this feeling of doubt in eastern vcracily. The less credible witness may sometimes have truth on his side, aud it will be well to reflect on the prospect of advantage which either party may have had in view and their comparative means of enforcing their opi uions, and compelling submission, before we attribute the fault to Persia. Neither must we demand from eastern governments the nice attention to forms which civilization exacts from European nations. A proud and despotic Asiatic monarch, when he finds his rights invaded and his dignity insulted, must not be judged too harshly, if he neglects some of the observances which we have imposed on ourselves. If the fi. st act of injustice has not been his, there is no subsequent neglect of mere form which can make him half so culpable as his aggressor. Any attempt, therefore, which may he made lo put Persia in the wrong, by accusing her of in short, to have considered Persia as neutral ground, which neither parly was lo appropriate. This was, perhaps, the most obvious policy which could have been pursued, and, so long as it could be preserved, and was faithfully adhered to, hy boih the Courts aud by their servants, was perhaps as well calculated as any other to answer our purpose, while it had the obvious advantage of being liberal, fair, and just. But it had also the disadvantage^ being most favourable to the party who should observe it with least exactness; and it is, therefore, important to inquire, whether Russia or England is most likely to be led by circumstances, or by the tone of her general policy and the manner in which she conducts her relations with Persia, to press her influence, and attempt an appropriation of the neutral ground, which 1 have supposed to be considered such by mutual agreement? Tbe general policy of Russia, from the days of Peter the First, has uniformly pointed to the extension of her frontier on the side of Persia, and more parti- cularly to the acquisition of Ihe coast ofthe Caspian Sea. It is difficult lo imagine a stronger or better marked boundary than that which formed the frontier between Russia and Persia. The Black Sea on the one hand, and the Caspian on the other, connected by the stupendous chain of the Caucasus, seem to have been designed by nature for the limits of some power- ful nation— for a harrier against some great power. The views which induced Peter to pass Ibis barrier, and establish himself beyond it, must have had some ultimate object of more importance than the trifling and ill- protected districts which he acquired. When Catherine took Georgia under her protcc tion, and instructed Polemkin to receive the submis- sion of any nation which might be inclined to offer it, — when General Goodovich was instructed to adniil as vassals the Khan's two Persian towns— when Zuboff was sent into Persia to seize Ihe provinces adjacent lo Georgia, as a retaliation for the allack on Teflis— and when Russia became1 bound to protect, not only Ihe present possessions of tbe Wallee, but also any he might hereafier acquire, it was but pursu ing the same policy, and following the same views. When General Ycrmoloff proposed lo supply Rus sian officers to discipline the Persian troops at the cost of his Government, when missions were sob. se quently sent to Khiva and to Bokara, and when Persia was bound to maintain no navy on tbeCaspian, which amounted to a total abandonment of that sea to the power of Russia, it was but a steady pursuit of the same purpose. When, at a more recent period, Russia pressed with warmth and intemperance the establishment of a commercial agent at Rheshl in Gilan, a province notoriously ill- affccted to Persia,— and when General Ycrmoloff pushed the Russian troops beyond the line of frontier defined hy the treaty, we can see nothing more in these proceedings^ than an injudicious ami over- anxious desire to press forward to Ihe accom- plishment of the same objects. If it be true, lhat Ihe Cabinet of St. Pcterhurgh has sent to its Governor in Georgia repeated and positive instructions to conciliate Persia, and to make no : exertion lo obtain a paramount inSuence in her couu- ils, or to press her fo rupture with Russia; it is plain lhat its orders have been ill attended to, and that we lose ihe security which we would otherwise have derived from a confidence in the moderation of the views of the Russian Government. There is a tendency in all subordinate Governments of a powerful and more particularly of a rising empire to press upon the weaker nations wi « j » which they come iu contact, andwhen this tendency falls in wiih the previous policy of the superior stale, no general instructions will prevent its being yielded lo. Lei the progress of our own power in India serve as an unanswerable evidence of the truiii of this statement. On the other hand, England comes in no way in collision with Persia. Her trade with thai country is stablished on well- defined grounds of reciprocal advantage. Her political connexion .. with Persia is confined lo watching over her interests, and aiding her in her difficulties. She has no frontier to cause dissensions, and no objects opposed to the interests of Persia to pursue. But there is a strong and urgent demand upon her to maintain the integrity of Persia, as the best security she can have for the tranquillity of her Indian empire,— and every attempt which Russia may make to trench upon the power of Persia, must be considered a step towards bringing her in collision wiih England in Asia, and towards loosening our hold on our Eastern possessions. Supposing that an invasion of India overland were proved lo be a chimerical and impracticable scheme, which it probably is, can it be said that if Russia were possessed of a paramount influence at the Court of the Shah, we should be. able to sit as securely in India as we do now, or thai the vicinity of so powerful a nation would not warm the hopes of the discontented, and shake the fidelity of many who have clung to our protection, and submitted to onr authority, because they beluved our power to be immovable and unopposed? These are impoilant considerations, and well deserving I he serious attention of every one who thinks that the possession of hidia is an object which Britain ought to contend for and secure. 11 is said that Persia has hitherto heen eminently successful in the war with Russia, and that all the Georgian provinces have risen lo support her. But we know, and she herself knows, that a war with Russia is for her a hopeless undertaking in her present state of preparation; and that though she has heen driven to undertake it by the injuries and insults to which she has been subjected, and Ihe clamour of religious enthusiasts, she has still more lo hope from a speedy termination of the war, and a recurrence lo her former relations with her powerful and reckless neighbour, than by protracting a contest, iu which she can have nothing to gain. The time cannot be distant when Persia must make peace with Russia, almost on any terms; and, if we have rightly estimated ( he views of Russia, this peace will add something more lo her territories, and per- haps to her right of interfere^--? in Persian » flairs. While Russia is reaping Ihe advantage of a system of aggression and injustice, are we to sit quietly down, and content ourselves with our own purity aud good faith, and when we have permitted Ihe time. to pass by when we might have counteracted the schemes of Ihe Autocrat or his subordinate authorities, to find con- solation in asking, " who would have thought it?" or inventing our reproaches on the injustice which il is too late to remedy ? Persia is naturally a country strong for defence, and few nations can boast a more warlike or efficient population. If Russia may weaknn Persia, and thereby injure us, surely we have more justifiable reasons to urge why we should support and defend her by the means which she can herself so amply provide. If aggression can ever be permitted or justified, preparations for defence must always be allowable. Of one thing we may rest fully assured, that Russia, whether from design, or from ihe force of < iicum- stunces scarccly within her contronl, is encroaching, and will continue to encroach, upon the weaker countries which lie on her frontier in Asia, unless some equal power is opposed to her progress; and lhat, whether it be effected by slow and insidious up. proaches, like the advances of the ocean, or by an irruption like the buisting of a mountain- torrent, the result will be ihe same, and the injury to Britain will be permanent and irreparable. Right may be brought at any time within sixty years, and llie holder of an estate, in such case, must shew iiy what title he keeps possession. Mr. Shadwell proposes to limit writs of right to thirty years, and that the plaintiff, in such case, shall first Shew the grounds of liis own claim, before Ihe defendant shall be called upon to produce his title.— The. other part of his bill would so alter Ihe law, as relating to what is termed barring dower, that the expense should be lessened, and that there should be no necessity for the evasions and fictions now employed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS- MONDAY, f Concluded from our last Journal.) ADULTERATED F1.013H. The Naval Estimates were brought forward, ond occupied tbe attention of the House for some hours.— Mr. HUME made his customary number of objections, which were, however received with very Utile attention, and the several resolutions were agreed to — There was one new item of expense in the resolutions, namely, that caused by the. erection of mills lo furnish a supply of flour for the Navy.— The importance of this arrange- ment will be understood from the fact, stated hy Sir G. (• LKRS, that adulteration of the flour contracted for had been carried to such an extent, that in the last year no fewer than six thousand sacks had been thrown back on the contractors1 hands ! DENBIGH ELECTION. I'he SPEAKER said he had to acquaint the House, that he had received a declaration, in writing, from Joseph Ablett, Esq. ( who was one of the parties included iu tbe double return for ihe borough of Den- bigh), stating that it was not his intention to defend his return for the said borough.— The order of the day for taking into consideration the double return for the borough of Denbigh was then discharged, and the petitions that had been presented relative to the elec- tion were ordered to be taken into consideration on Thursday, ihe22d of March. ROMAN CATHOI ICS. Mr. VILLIERS STUART, in a maiden speech, presented a petition ' from the Roman Catholics of Waterford county, praying, in the usual terms, for a promiscuous distribution of political power. He proceeded with considerable fluency for some time, but suddenly lost the thread of his discourse, and paused so long in gathering it up, lhat the Speaker, supposing he had concluded, put the question. The Hon. Member, how- ever, began afresh, and spoke nearly half an hour in defence of the tenets of the Church of Rome. As this supplementary argument came by surprise upon the House, and had little iu it to arrest attention, it was not received with Ihe same courteous silence which the House had granted to the speech of which it was a sequel. Little of it was heard ; and the anxiety of Mr. Stuart Jo get delivcied of his speech, conflicting with the anxiety of members to be rid of him, constituted a scene lhat was almost ludicrous, and, it is believed, altogether unexampled upon a first Address. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. CORN LAWS. In reply to a question from Sir E. KNATCHBULL, as to tbe precise measure intended to be proposed by Ministers respecting the Corn. Laws, and the mode of bringing them forward, Mr. PEEL, declining, © f course, to give an explicit answer to the former point,. stated, with regard to the latter, it was intended to move cer- tain kt resolutions in a Committee of the whole House, which resolutions would contain not only the principle hut the substance of the proposition. That mode, he trusted, would meet the approbation of the House, as it would preclude the necessity of coming to a hasty conclusion. But that was not all — for, in order that e-. cry Hon. Gentleman should have a full and fair opportunity of expressing his opinion upon that most important subject, it was the intent- ion of his Majesty's Government to move, that the Resolutions should be re- committed on a future day, and thus enable the House to come to a deliberate decision on the ques- tion." IMPRESSMENT. On the Report of tiie Committee of Supply being brought up, some conversation took place upon the subject of ihe impressment of seamen, in the course of which it was officially announced that some salutary regulations were about to be adopted in this respect. In the mean time, it was explained that live expedient of impressment was never had recourse to but in cases of national necessity and commercial advantage ; and of course could riot with safety or propiiety be altogether dispensed with. DENBIGH ELECTION. Mr. SHADWELL presented a petition from Frederick Richard West, Esq, staling that'the petitioner had been returned as member for the borough of Denbigh, in a double return with Joseph Ablett, Esq.; that petitions respecting that return had. been presented to the house, both by the said Frederick Richard West and. certain burgesses of the said borough, and that the 22d day of March next had been appointed for taking these peti- tions into consideration; that the said Joseph Ablett had yesterday delivered a written declaration to the Speaker, that it was not his intention to defend his return* for the said borough, and that the said burgesses had not entered into the recognizances required by the statute. Under these circumstances, the petitioner con. ceiyed that he had a right to be at once declared the sitting member, and to have the order which had been made for taking thV petitions into consideration dis- charged, and he prayed to be heard by counsel in support of his claim to this. Mr. WYNN said, lhat there did not exist the slightest grounds for the petition. Indeed, ils prayer was opposed to the express provisions of an act of Parlia- ment. Although Mr. Ahlett hud thought proper to decline defending his return, the electors had still an opportunity of defending it if they thought fit, whe- ther he would or uot. Mr. DAWSON thought that thf prayer of the petition ought to be granted, and he would therefore move that it be taken into consideiation lo- mOrrow. Mr. WYNN said, it was evident, no reason existed for inducing lhe house to go so far as lo make an order for taking the petition into consideration. Nothin » - could be so objectionable as the proposal to hear counsel as to the mode in which the Bouse should exercise its own privileges. Sir J. NEWPORT said, that the acceding to the prayer of ihe petition would be a direct abrogation of the Grenville act, by which the house divested themselves of ihe very power which ihey were called upon lo exercise. The house was about to divide, when Mr, SHADWELL said, that he withdrew the motion. Mr. BROIOIIAM observed, that his learned friend could not withdraw a motion which was not his own. Mr. DAWSON then asked leave to withdraw " his motion Mr. PEBLsaid, that in the course of the present ses- sion so many questions had arisen respecting the laws which regulated election petitions, that he" was con- vinced any man would r- euder a great public service who wuuld undertake tlie consolidation of those laws aud get rid of the inconsistencies which occasionally occurred in the construction of them, Mr. ( JBOKHB thought that Mr. West suffered o- reat hardship by the construction put upon the Act of Par ' lament by the Right Hon. President of ihe Board of Conlroul. As Mr. Ablett had withdrawn himself he thought Mr. West should at once be declared ' the sitting member, Mr. WYNN said, that the object of the Acf was to prevent the rights of eleclors being concluded by the conduct of ihe individual returned, who miolit not choose to defend his retiifn on account of the expense attending the proceeding, or for oilier reasons. The Right Hon. Gent, then staled that it was liis Intention ill Ihe course of the next session, to bring in a bill to consolidate the existing- laws ou the suhjeel of election petitions. Mr. ABEHCROMBY expressed a hope that the act hy which the laws were consolidated would he intellioible The motion was then withdrawn. Right of the Poor to Parochial Maintenance. [ F » OM THE COUNTY CHRONICLE.] Iu the parish of Suettisham, Norfolk, there are a great number of poor, for which the farmers in the parish cannot find employment; but at the distance of 12 miles a public work of excavating or widening a now river is going on, at which all the poor could obtain sufficient employment to enable them to maintain their wives and families; they objected, however, to go to such a work, or to endeavour to find employment out of their own parish, and, iu consequence of such objection, the overseers of the parish refused to grant them parochial relief. Upon application to the magistrates, they made orders upon the overseers to pay the paupers weekly sums, according to the extent of their families. The opinion of Mr. Nolan having been solicited, as to whether the overseers can successfully appeal against the order of the magistrates for relief to ihe paupers, when they have it in their power to find them employment by which they can earn their own living at a distance of 12 miles from their place of settlement, that gentleman has given it as follows: 11 Opinion.— I am of opinion, that tbe conduct of tbe magistrates in granting orders of relief under tbe cir- cumstances stated, is erroneous, and that none of the labouring poor are entitled to relief if the parish officers can find sufficient employment for them either iu or out nf the parish, within the reasonable distance of 12 miles. But it has been decided that no appeal lies against au order of relief ( Rex v. North Shields, Cald. 68). If the justices, therefore, choose to persist in making fresh orders, I know of no means of having the question of right investigated. " M. NOLAN." flti0 « llaufou0 Itmuigme. HOUSE OF LORDS- WEDNESDAY. Several petitions were presented in favour of Catholic Emancipation ; and *!.-> Marquis of UNSDOWSB gave nntice, that lie would call ibeir Lordships' attention to the subject of the Catholic Claims on the 8tli of March. The Earl of WINCIIILSEA sincerely trusted that! before their Lordships adopted the course recommended' by the Noble Marquis, of admitting the Catholic to a full enjoyment of ibe Constitution, and repealed the Test Act, they would deeply ond maturely consider Ihe 8- roundson which Ihey had heretofore been excluded He hoped lhat the reformation, which was now rapidly spreading through Ireland, would he allowed lo go on and prosper, and he also Imped that some slop would be put to the great and dangerous political power exer- cised by the Roman Catholic Clergy iu that country. IiODSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. WRITS OR RIOITT ABI1JUH- OI EOWEB. Mr. SHADWM. L obtained leave lo bring in a bill for the limitation of Writs of Wright aud to amend the law with respect to dower. By the present law a Writ of FORGERY ON THE MANCHESTER BRANCH BANK — A person has been fully committed to Lancaster Gaol, charged with forging a £ 10 note on tbe Branch Bank al Manchester. This is the first hnou- n attempt at forgery on any branch establish- ment. ANECDOTE.— An opulent farmer, tenant of a noble lord, ( Gage,) who rented nearly a thousand a- year on the estate of the latter in Sussex, previous to the falling" in of a lease of a farm adjoining, of Ihe rent of ±' 80, applied for the lease of il, offering £ 130. The terms were accepted, and he had tbe farm. Soon after the original possessor applied for a renewal, and had Ihe mortification to hear it was disposed of; iu vaiil he pleaded lhat his family had been in pos. session of it for nearly a century, and that the rents had been regularly paid; the new lease was signed, and could not be cancelled : however, his lordship told the man to rail in a few days, and he would think of accommodating him; this he did, and was then informed, lhat, as some kind of recompense for having lost his small farm, if he chose, he might have the lease of the fcn- ge one, which was nearly expired ' Fbis offer appeared of a magnitude which at first staggered the applicant, till he was further told, lhat whatever money he might be in want of, as necessary to so extensive an undertaking, he should be ac- commodated with. The bargain was on these terms acceded to, no doubt with gratitude on the part of Ihe tenant, and not less heart. feit satisfaction on that of the uoble landlord, v\ ho had thus an opportunity the next day of informing the avaricious speculator, in turn, that Ihe lease of his farm was disposed of, and that to the very man he had been so active to deprive of the means of procuring au honest sub- sistence ! GREAT HYDRAULIC IMPROVEMENTS — Some very extraordinary and extensive works have been lately constructed in Scotland, for the purpose, of increasing the water- power on streams where mills are situated, by economising and storing up in immense reser- voirs, the water which falls in rainy seasons, and which, under ordinary circumstances, is permitted lo run idly past the mills without benefit, and frequently doing considerable injury. Several notices of these extraordinary undertakings have at different times appeared in the Scotsman, from a If. te number of which the following account of the works at Greenock is extracted.— Mr. Thorn's singular success in procuring water at Rothesay, led to bis being employed to make a survey of the neighbourhood of Greenock, where the inhabitants were in want of an adequate supply for household and other ordinary purposes. On a former occasion, a distinguished engineer had examined the adjacent grounds, but held out no hopes that the object was attainable. In 1824, Mr.- Thorn's report disclosed not only abundance of fine springs for the use of the town, but also water- power for turning machinery to an immense extent. A company was soon afterwards formed, an net of Parliament obtained, and tbe enter- prise is now nearly consummated. u The aqueduct for carrying Shaws burn, or Shaws waler, to the Whin- hill, immediately south of Greenock, including its numerous flexures, is nearly seven miles long, and is almnst entirely cut through a clay- stone rock. It crosses seveial romantic ravines, and forms an elevated promenade, commanding a fine view- of the Frith of Clyde and the neighbouring country. A great reservoir is constructed, by means of an embankment across the valley of the Shaws water; the ground to be submerged is about 315 acres, tbe deepest waler 66 feet, and the quantity of waler contained will be 2511 millions of cubical feet, which, together with the con- tents of several smaller dams, wil! amount to 30( 1 millions of cubical feet. This ample stnre is to be derived from the floods of the Burn, and is calculated to serve the works for four months. Water for other four months can be obtained from the ordinary run of the stream, and for the remaining part of the year, the streams running from the high grounds between the reservoir and Greeuoek will suffice. T'lie detention of tbe water in tbe reservoir in wet weather, and its dis- charge in dry weather, to the full extent of turning the mills, or to tiie extent of any deficit in the supply from other quarters, will be regulated b. vsluices, and wasting sluices placed along the aqueduct, nt intervals, will secure against overflowing or rupture. Notwithstand- ing the dryness nf llie late uututnil, the reservoir has made progress toward filling, which does not leave a doubt of the engineer's calculations being completely verified. Already the sheet of collected water appears to have assumed' mnre of the character of a natural lake, than of an ordinary artificial reservoir, and is much visited by strangers. This fine basin will prn- liablv be called' Loch Thorn, nnd it cannot be supposed that either the proprietors or the public will be averse to bestowing the name. " The discharge of waler from the reservoir being estimated at 300 millions of cubic feel in four months, or 105 days; and the fall from the aqueduct oil the Whin- hill to high water mark on the Clyde being 512$ feet, it follows that, if we deduct 12| feet as declivity between the contiguous mill seats, 500 feet will remain ns the aggregate of the effective head of water, and this affords a power equal to that of 8234 horses, work- ing eight hours a day, according to Professor Leslie's formula, or 8094 according to Smeaton's. This amount of mechanical power far exceeds what is afforded by all tbe steam engines in Glasgow and ils vicinity. Now as Ibe saving obtained by using water instead of steam lias been estimated at £ 30 on each horse's power, the value of these water- works, estimated in this way, to the town of Greenock, would be £ 117,930 a- vear. The whole expense of the works, which afford this great amount of power, will, we believe, fall short of £ 20,000. It is of importance to observe that this water power is not in a remote situation, difficult of access, like that which streams often naturally afford, but either in the immediate vicinity, or actually within the bounds of a flourishing sea- port, where tbe largest trading ships in the kingdom can put their sides to ihe quay." Though it appears from the preceding account that the advantages proposed to be obtained by this undertaking have not yet been actually ac- complished, there appears to be not the slightest doubt that they will be realised to the utmost extent proposed. If the engineer has secured, as appears by the above statement, a reserve of water equal to sixteen- horse power for every foot of fall during- four months ofthe year, there is little do', bt that he will have an ample supply for the remainder. In fact, he appears to have completely succeeded in his undertaking at Rothesay, which is one of the same kind, but on a smaller scale, where his plan has been iu operation for several years, aud where he had, in the month of October last, after one of the dryest summers ever known in this country, a stock of water in his reservoir amounting to full five weeks' consumption; and this at a place where, before his plan was adopted, the water was always deficient in the summer, and they were compelled to eke out their power by two steam engines, which are now dispensed with. ROBBERY OF THE DOVER MAIL.— The late rob- bery of the mail from Dover to London has caused a. great deal of annoyance at the Post- office, to which some blame is attributed, there being no doubt that if the necessary precaution had been taken, no los£ would have been sustained. A regular gang, whtf have been for a long time on the town, and have' generally engaged in robberies of bankers' parcel* and other respectable depredations, as the thieves call all serious plunder, learned through the medium of their agents, that a large quantity of diamonds had been expected from Paris, and they set to work accordingly. They endeavoured to secure all the places inside and outside of the mail, but there were two inside places otherwise engaged. They, how- ever, placed some of the most active of the gang outside, aud at Canterbury the best opportunity of getting hold of the diamonds presented itself. The Paris bag was, as is the custom, on the top of the coach, and it contained the expected diamonds, Which are said to be of very great value. There was, however, another bag, the Neapolitan bag, which contained no diamonds, aud upon this occasion the ingenuity of the thieves did not meet with its accustomed luck. They pitched upon the wrong bag, and became masters of 1Q00 letters from Naples and its neighbourhood. Some of the letters con- tained acceptances, and others securities, the ab- sence of which may no doubt produce mnchincon. venience, but wo believe that the thieves have not laid their hands upon a single paper which was con- vertible into cash. They have even gone to France for the purpose of getting hold ofthe property, but they found that there was infinitely more chance of facilities in this country for obtaining the desired reward of their hazardous and expensive labours-. The bills are, we believe, redeemable by a sum of money but little exceeding the amount expended iu attempting to put the intention into execution. We are assured that the robbery was contrived with the greatest possible skill. NEW AND EFFECTUAL CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. — Mons. Dupasquier, has published in the Revue Medicate, printed at Paris, an account of a ne\ v method of successfully treating rheumatism : he has tried it in several cases and always with success.—. lie says— With regard to the manner of administer- ing the camphor in rheumatism, it may be given internally or in frictions, or by putting it immedi- ately in contact with the skin, either iu powder or vapour; and this last method, unitiug the two modes of action, is to be preferred. M. Dupasquier has always used it in a vapour ouly, although he thinks there may be cases where it might be ad- vantageously used internally at the same time. There are circumstances, too, that would indicate general bleeding before using the fumigations. The best mode of applying the fumigations, is by an apparatus invented by M. Rapau, consisting of a particular kind of box. Where patients cannot afford this, however, they may be placed ou a chair, over a small furnace, with a large blanket thrown around them, reaching to the ground, and drawn close around the neck; a tea- spoonful of powdered camphor is thrown every five minutes on a metal plate covering the furnace. The medicine rapidly volatilizes, and the parts ofthe body with which it comes in contact - are speedily covered with sweat. The fumigation may be continued three- quarters of an hour, or an hour. When the operation is finished, the patient is wrapped up in the blanket, and put to bed, where he will continue to perspire for some hours. Half an ounce of camphor is usually enough for a fumigation, but it may be carried to a much greater extent without inconvenience ; one patient used four ounces at once without any unpleasant accident. " When the patients cannot be moved out of bed, the bed clothes may be raised around them, and the camphor volatilized by means of a warming pan moved up and down iu the bed. While under- going fumigation, tbe patient should drink some, mildly diaphoretic drink. The number of the fumigations in the day must depend ou the violence ofthe pains, and strength of the patient; when ho is strong, and suffering much, they may be used three or four times daily. It is always necessary to continue their use for at least a week after ail pain has disappeared. STATISTICS.— The Statistical Table ofthe States of Europe, published annually by the Almanack of Gotha, has long enjoyed the esteem of tbe learned of all countries. 1 bat for 1827, is drawn up with increased care and correctness. For instance, tha revenue of Russia, which was estimated at ouly 268,000,000 of francs, is now estimated at 338,000,000, a sum exactly equal to the revenue of Austria. That of Prussia, which was slated at 247,000,000, is now slated only al 193,000,000. The sum of the revenues of these three Powers make a total of 869,000,000, aud that of France is 920,000,000. Thus we see that this kingdom is not only as rich as Austria, Russia, and Prussia together, but it lias an overplus of 51,000,000, which is equal to the revenue of several powers cf the second order, such as Portugal, Sardinia, and Sweden. England, according to the same table, will raise this year a sum of 1,410,000,000, but the i 1.1 ^ ft- al nf lie itniit h*> in< v T^ rilinAOAA _: il ... interest of ils debt being 750,000,000, there will re- moin 660,000,000 for the public expenses. For this reason the budget for every branch of the public service is smaller, with a few exceptions, than that which is allotted to the same branch by the French Chambers. It appears thai, on an average, the Frenchman contributes 11 per cent, of his income to. Ihe public expenditure, while the E'oglishman contri- butes 25 per cent.— Etoile. Last week, three men, part of a gang of horse stealers, which has lately beeu in the habit of visiting this city with horses for sale, brought from another part of the country, were suspected of having stolen some in their possession, when Messrs. Morgan and Smith, belonging to the Police, took them and their horses into custody ; hand- bills were circulated in every direction, witha description of the horses, and a pair of valuable coach horses have in consequence been owned by Isaac Walker, Esq. of Palmer's Green, near Southgate, Middlesex, who had offered 100 guineas reward. The coach horses were stolen on Tuesday last, and the thieves taken in Bristol oil Thursday. It is supposed that all the horses lately stolen from that quarter havo been taken by the above gang.— Bristol Journal. .
