A » there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, 1 Person has the Pretension to say that be is Ihe only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact he is perhaps tbe only one that has not the genuine Bear's Urease ; but if Ihe Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily Jitcover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- aireof Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a liitle Bergamot ; which, from having analyzed it, J. DELCKOIX can assert to he a Fact. Such Composition, in Lieu of being beneficial to the Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect ; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of » very desicative Nature, and not of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re. gnrded as nne of tbe best Articles for promoting tlie Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Public from falling into Error hy using sncli Imitations, which are so insulting to the common Understanding, and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DEI. CROIX begs to give a brief Description of it:— , The Fat of the Animal, when he receives it in Casks from Russia, is rather offensive, and ofa Yellow Reddish Hue, but when purified, it resembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is of an oily and rich Nature.

Nervous and Hypochondriac Complaints arc much more prevalent in Europe than is generally imagined, and attended with many dreadful aud alarming Symp- toms, which certainly claim Assistance, and not, as is loo generally the case, Derision or Contempt. The tender Female, by Nature destined. to be Ihe Preserver nf the Human Race, is yet liable to many natural Indispositions, which often render her Condi- tion truly wretched ; and those who have resided iu hot Climates, and are emaciated, or labour under a conli- ntial Drain of Nature, whereby their bodily Strength is not only exhausted, but also their Vigour and Viva- city impaired, will meet with a friendly Mouilor in this small though important Publication.

Beaumaris, ALLISI, Interesting Letter from Lincoln. GENTtEMBN, MRS. JANE CARTER, of Goltho, near Wragby, was for many years afflicted wiih a disorder which preyed tipou her health, and brought, her to a very fefble state ; and from there being scrofu- lous sores and eruptions, she was led to suspect that her grievous complaints arose from scurvy. She bought several bottles of your ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS, at Drury and Son's shop? near the Stonebow, Lincoln, and is quite restored ; aud, in gratitude, states her case for your perusal. Her words are— * 4 I was afflicted for many years with a Scorbutic 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; and I have every reason to believe that I should have soon sunk under my sufferings, had not your medicine, which I bought at Messrs. Drury'sshop, near the Stonebow, 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 fall of the year, I 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 aud bad break- ings out have all disappeared, leaving the skin sound, and the complexion of a clear and healthy colour. It ia also worthy of notice, that 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 hy means of your medicine, concerning which I shall be ready to answer any enquiries.

The laud is over stocked,- and there arc nu present Uor possible means of olher support. " ' Fhe farmer— and he belongs to a class which, though iu too many cases reproacliable for slovenli- ness, negligence, and want of skill, contains a very large number of extremely frugal, quiet, and iudusti i"- ous people— knows perfectly well, that whatever changes take place, his station in life will be unal- tered. He will lie a farmer still; he is fit for mi other place, uor do his wislfej or desires require si better.— What is his ambition! To have a farm suited lo his means of cultivation— to be under ait easy rent— subject to light charges of every kind— a good market for bis spare produce— and with the means of living in what he considers comfort—- the ability of saving some money to portion off his daughters; and settle his grown- up sons in a business like his own. When ibis can be even moderately accomplished, it is no easy matter indeed lo goad the farmer into acls of insurgency, or projects of rebellion. They are, of all persons, most content with their lot; to which also iheir constant employment, and their simple and secluded habits of life, very materially contribute. Times must be bad indeed, distress severe, and oppression hitter, when such person's are seen in lire counsels of insurrection, and the ranks ol" the rebellious. Hence I do with confidence re assert what has been staled above, lllal as lon » as the Government affords paternal protection, aud, what is an indispensable requisite, as long as laudloids fulfil their bounden duty lo a valuable class of inhabitant* 011 whom their own prosperity so mainly depends, lillle danger lo the State need be apprehended from that numerous aud useful body— the farmers of Ireland. " But 1 must not rob my rustic countrymen of Iheir heroic fame; for even among them are lo be found heroes of no small estimation in their own eyes, and, without auy question, the most disinterested of all those who pretend to the glorious litle. Some light to recover old or gain new territories; some In be distinguished by honours and rewards; and many, for the simple objects of pay and subsistence; our Hibernian heroes alojie for ihe mere pleasure of fighting.

There is not a man of them, who, being asked his opinion of such inhuman broils in cold blood, will hesitate lo say, that they are very absurd and very wrong yet not a man of them will refuse the call when invited to the field; when, but for Ihe interference of the civil and sometimes the military power, blood would be wan. tonly shed nt every public meeting. It is no doubt n remnant of the old feudal stale, when clan met clan in bloody contention, under the command of their respective chiefs. The wonder is, that the rivalry should remain when the grounds of it have been removed, and that ihe hostile movements should continue among Ihe members afier the heads had departed.* Il affords, among a thousand oilier proofs, a sample of Ih<- hem fits they have derived from religious instruction under the auspices of the Church of Rome; aud how happily her priests, afier a thou- sand years of instruction, have succeeded in human, if ng, civilizing, and Christianizing their Irish flocks.

House having resolved itself inio a Committe'e, for ihe consideration of the la^ s relative 10 t'fce im- portation of Foreign Com, Mr. CANNING rose to submit to the Committee the proposition* oi Government'" ou the Corn Laws. He expressed his grateful acknowledgments for the in diligence the House had lately-' shewn him, and expressed his deep regret at; » he affiietiug < iispensa-: tion of Providence which had deprived It- is Noble Friend ( the Earl of- Liverpool) at the head of the Government, of the opportunity of opening these propositions in the other House of Parliament* and of vindicating to himself measures, the paternity of w hich he might claim, and on the success of which he " iaked more than on any act of h slnng and honourable public life. The plan of His . Majesty's? Ministers was, to abandon the principle of prohibition, aud to permit Corir to be admissible into the kingdom al all times, subject to the payment of certain its- port duties, ' i he scale of these duties is to be regulated !> v a verages, taken by means of the same machinery as heretofore, but taken weekly instead oi quarter!.//. Whenever the v » e « k. rs average fixes the home price of wheat at 60s per quarter, the import duty is to- be ' 20s, Whenever the home price is fisu> d by the average at less than 60s. the drily to be increased by. rico shillings per quarter for every shilling whieh'the home price shall fall short of 60s.; I'sus, if the Home price''- be 59s. the duty shall be 22s.— home price 5Hs. duty 24s.— home price 57s. duty i> 8s. and so. on.— Whenever, on the other hand, tiie home price exceeds' 60s. the import duty is to be decreased in the sauie proportion — thus, if the home price be () ls. the- duty shall he 18s.; the home price 6;> s. the duty 16s. ; and so up to 70s.; but after a home price of 70s. ( he duty is to be- reduced to one shilling, at which it i* to remain ; that is, when the . price snail thus he and continue at or above 70s, per quarter, Foreign Grain may be introduced into the home market, in any quantity, on payment of the duty of Is. per quarter! Tbe Wale of duties upon other species of grain was calculated to hold a just relation to the proposed duties upon w heat. — It was the earnest desire of His Majesty's Government to hold the scales even between the agriculturist and the importer, casting, he admitted, the balance in point of principle, in favour ofthe open trade; but casting it, he was also ready to admit, in point of price, in favour of the agriculturist. He thought this project would tend to'' equalize the prices, and keep that equalization of prices steady. The market would assume such a steadiness, that, instead of a fluctuation be- ween 1 P2s nt oue lime, and 38- s, at another, the vibrations would he found to be limited within tire small circle of 55s. to bos. The plan would provide against the mischief arising from sudden gluts overwhelming the market at one time, and sudden dearth compelling us to legislate against legislation. It would gel rid of another evil of very great magnitude— he alluded to the abuses of the system of averages, as the averages would be declared weekly; and what room would there be, in the course of a week, for deep specula- tion ? The plan would tend to vindicate the respecta- bility of the Corn Trade, which w ould assume, in the eyes of those by whom it had been most suspected, a character more analogous to the regular trade of British Merchants in other brandies of commerce. The plan would also get rid entirely of the possibility of an interference on tbe part of the Executive Government. These were some of ihe benefits which this plan presented to the House; and if it should appear upon trial, that interests, which were now supposed to be wide as the poles asunder, should bv this plan be approximated more uearly than they t1iemseiv. es believed to be possible, such a result would he worth all the rest. It would tend to sweeten the ill blood which had too long subsisted between two classes which now looked wiih jealousy at each other and to unite interests which' had appeared to be almost irt econcilea- ble. He in treated the House, what- ever objections they might deeiu the plan liable to in matters of detail, to receive it, as it was intended to be, in the light of a peace- offering from His Majesty's Government, and as the best, means which his Noble Friend at the head of the Government could have proposed, of reconciling- conflicting interests. The Right Honourable Gentleman concluded by moving the following RESOLUTIONS: — That it' is the opinion of this Committee, that any sort of Corn, Grain, Meai, and Flour, which may now, bv law, be imported into the United Kingdom, should, at all times, be admissible for home use, upon payment of the duties follow- ing, viz. If imported from any Foreign Country-- WHEAT. L. s, D.

The system pro- posed was certainly novel, and one which-, he very much feared, he must ultimately object to. It was certainly infinitely more obnoxious than the system heretofore pursued,- that of prohibition, and calculated not iu the least to allay the. fears of the agriculturists. Mr. FRRGUSSON considered that the resolutions had been tried aud failed, they being, in fact, founded on the act iu the year JSI5." He regretted sincerely to hear the proposition which was submitted relative to barley and oats. If this part of the resolution was car- ried into effect, he considered that the people of Scotland would be ruined-, Sit- JOHN NEWPORT was satisfied that the price of oats ought to be rated higher. Sir JOHN WROTTBSLRY concurred in the opinion as to the impolicy of the proposed resolutions relative to barley and oats. Mr. Wo LAY CHE WHITMORE objected to the scale of duties proposed by the Right Hon. Secretary, as he conceived they w ere calculated to produce considerable fluctuations iu the price of agricultural produce, and would, in the end, prove extremely detrimental, both to the agricultural and manufacturing classes. Sir EDWARD ^ NATCHBULL said, he would not avail himself of fhe opportunity then of addressing- the House, but thought it but fair to say, if he had been called upon for a vote, he would have given it in favour of prohibition, rather than duty. Mr, Alderman THOMPSON thought the scale of duties which was proposed much too high. Sir THOMAS LBTHBRIDGE having heard the pro- position of his. Majesty's ministers, was free to say, that it certainly did not come with that tremendous force which he expected— He had been led to believe from the dire reports, and gloomy apprehensions, which have been afloat for months past, that the re- sults would be arbitrary; He owned there was some- thing consolatory in the propositions of the govern- ment. He was opposed to what the Alderman, who represented the City of London, said, for in his ( Sir T. Leihbridg- e's) opinion, on the contrary, the prices, instead of being too high, were considerably too low. He would take time to consider of the propositions ; and though lie gave ministers credit for their promptitude, he was very much afraid he should be obliged to vote against them. Mr. CURWEN approved of the propositions, and con- sidered them favourable both to the agricultural and manufacturing classes. He wished to know whether the system of averages was to extend to Ireland, ft! r. CANNING replied in the affirmative. Mr. PORTMAN implored the House not hastily to make up its mind to ihe subject before it. Some pro- tection to the Agriculturist was absolutely necessary • but whether il was better to be obtained under the system at present existing, or under that proposed by tlie Right Hon. Secretary, was deserving their best consideration. He was rather inclined to prefer pro- tection under duty, ( o protection under prohibition. In conclusion, he begged t- o ask the Right Honourable Secretary, whether ihe quarters of wheat were to be measured by the Winchester or the Imperial bushel. Mr, CANNING said, the Winchester bushel was at present used, and no alteration was intended in that respect, C'ol on el WOOD thought the duly too low.— The agriculturists ere in the most critical"'' situation, and if a duty were adopted, they should take care that it was sufficiently high, for a false step taken at this moment would have the effect of seriously depressing the agricultural interest. Lord MILTON, without saying this was a perfect proposition, for he hoped, in the course of time, some other even more advantageous would be made, was inclined to give it bis support. Mr. BROUGHAM wished now to avoid committing himself by the expression of any opinion whatever ; but he could not refrain from* throwing out a single ob- servation, by way of comfort, to those who had shown themselves somewhat too prone lo take alarm. They seemed to give a preference to ihe protection of pro- hibition. Now, it was in vain to say, practically peaking, that this proposition did not begin at the lower end of the scale — that it did not embrace the principle of prohibition. Sir F. BUKDETT highly approved ihe principles of free trade. acted on by ministers, aud trusted the pre- judices existing against it. would be out- rooted.— lie at the same time thought the question of averages ought not to be decided without a reference to the state of the currency, as that was, in fact, the regulator of the price of corn. The further consideration of the resolutions proposed by Mr. Canning, was then adjourned to Thursday, the 8th of March. HOUSE OF LORDS- FRIDAY. CORN LAWS. Earl STANHOPE, in presenting a petition against any alteration in the present laws, expressed a very decided opinion against the proposed measure for the importa- tion of Corn, and repeated a declaration which his Lordship made some months back, that if it were car- ried, many agriculturists had determined they would leave the country and retire to the contiuent. The Earl of IVIALMBSBURY wished for further in- formation relative to the prices at which corn could be imported. Nothing, iu his mind, could be more clum- sily conceived than the . mode by which it was now song- lit to protect the landed interest, it was not only awkward., but hazardous in the extreme. Indeed, so objectionable was it in every point of view, that he would much rather see a moderate minimum price fixed, after which a free importation could take place, than have an ascending aad descending scale of duties. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. ROMAN CATHOLICS. The attention of the House was occupied nearly the whole of the evening, in receiving petitions for or against Catholic Emancipation. The general Petition of the Catholics of England was presented by Lord NUGENT, who strongly cup- ported the prayer of it.— Mr; PLUNKETT presented the petition of the Irish Roman Catholic Prelates, and described the present tranquillity of Ireland, a « being mainly attributable to the Catholic Priests. Sir'G. HILL, and Mr. MAXWELL, in presenting Petitions, spoke of the improper interference of the Catholic Priests during the late Elections, and quoted passages from the writings of Dr. Doyle and other Catholic Priests, to show that their feelings and in- tentions were those of implacable hostility to the Etablished Church. Mr. Secretary PEEL presented a petition from tbe University of Oxford, against tlie Catholic Claims, Red. 3 per Cts. - 3per Ct. Cons. 81$ per Cents. — 3,| per Cents.

Wilson.— Mr. Raikes is out of the way. HOUSE OF I^ RD¥— MONDAY. The attention of their Lordships, this evening, was wholly occupied by the presentation of Petitions on the subject of the Corn Laws, and for and against Catholic Emancipation. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. The House was crowded at an early hour ; and a g- reat number of Petitions for and against Catholic Emancipation were presented. On the motion of The Viscount CLIVE, the Birming- ham and Liverpool Junction Canal Bill was read a third time and passed.- Catholic Emancipation. Sir FRANCIS BURDKTT, in bringing the question of Catholic Emancipation before the House, conjured Members to lay aside ail inferior and angry topics, and not to substitute the ctmduct of individuals for argument on this great and important question. To our Catholic forefathers we owed our liberty ; and from Cressy and Aginconrt down to Waterloo, the same Catholic names were to be found in defence of tbe liberties and the constitution of - their country. They had always resisted the temporal authority of the Pope as injurious teethe dignity of the Ci- owtfi, and in opposition to the liberty and the laws of'ihe Country. Wilh rrspeet to the Catholics. < tf Ireland, he thought the House bound by the treaty of limerick to grant them the required concessions, and the same pledge was given by Mr. Pitt at the time of the Union. Wnless the Government had made up their minds to see the land covered with blood, the crisis was now arrived when those concessions must be granted, Those concessions would, on the other hand, diffuse harmony, tranquillity, and prosperity " throughout, the country. The Hon. Bart, concluded by . moving the following- resolution: — " That it is expedient, for the House to tak^ into immediate consideration the state of the laws w hich impose civil disabilities upon the Roman Catholic subjects of this country, with a view to t- heir repeal." Lord MORPETH seconded the resolution. Heffgreed that much had been done for tiie Catholics of Ireland, for which they should be grateful, but he feared it would be found the sentiment of gratitude was seldom complete where the benefit conferred was not itself complete. The Catholics of Ireland; still felt them- selves injured, and they were resol ved never to relax in their efforts till those injuries were redressed. la the event of War, the safety ofthe Empire must depend upon conciliating the Catholics, f'or, if these eon- cessions were not granted, with what face could we call upon the Irish or the English Catholic to sacrifice his life in the defence and for the . honour of his coun- try ?" It had been said, that, by granting these con- cessions, the bulwarks of the Protestant Church would be destroyed, but neither the Church nor its doctrines stood in need of such barriers ; and the ' granting tlie required concessions would be acting upon the true principles of Protestant liberty and Christian charity. The question being put on the resolution, Mr. G. DAWSON rose to express his dissent from it. At the same time he hoped some permanent legislative proceeding would put an end to the present districted state'of Ireland, by which all ranks were con vulsed. He denied that the treaty of Limerick had any refer- ence to the question of Catholic Emancipation. It w; as not without surprise he heard it advanced that the Roman Catholics of Ireland were in a state of bondage. They were, in fact, perfectly free in every sense, ex cept in the enjoyment of certain political privileges. — TJie Roman Catholic enjoyed the same'station in the community as the Protestant. lie was permitted to occupy the Magisterial Bench, and was entrusted with the expenditure of the public money. He exercised, to its full extent, the liberty of speech, and enjoyed other privileges equally with Tiis Protestant fellow- subjects. But the faet of Roman Cat hones being excluded from seals in Parliament, and from places of power and emolument, was considered Ivy some of their advocates as the eause-' and';- ortgin of all their poverty and distress. This assertion was, however, disproved by common experience ; and it. was by the agency of the Priests alone, who lirged upon the people to endeavour to restore- tiie supremacy of the Catholic Church, that the present and all pre- ceding struggles and discordancies were created. — The priests urged, the people to support their hier- archy and aristocracy in their endeavours to restore the power and glory of the Catholic Church. What had been the almost uniform cause of wars in Ireland, but an unceasing struggle to overturn the Protestant Church, and to establish the Catholic religion in pre- eminence and splendour. The Hon. Gent, referred to the History of the reign of Elizabeth^; to the time of Cromwell ; and to the reign of James ihe Second in proof of his assertion ; and asked what was the Roman Catholic Association now doing? They trample on the law of the land— they declare the Established Church a curse—- they set at nought eve ry Act which receives the sanction of the Legis! atur£~" they uphold the Priests in their attacks on the Protestant Church, and these latter disseminate the poison into the minds of their flocks, and tell them that Catholic Emancipa- tion would confer no benefit on the Roman Catholics without, the destruction of the Protestant influence. -•' The Protestants were, in fact, the persecuted people of Ireland ; for they were opposed in every act, either of public or private benevolence, in every work of charity, and in every attempt to enlighten ihe people — they were met and insulted by the priests, and their faction ; and, more particularly within these few- months, the Roman Catholic Clergy had, in fact, taken upon them- clvcs to wield the whole political power of Ireland. And to effect their ends, they not only denied the rites of their Church' to their frocks in this world, but denounced upon all refractory members the eternal punishments of that which is to come. He thought the people of England ought to know these things, before they blindly intrusted political power into the hands of the Roman Catholics & their Priests. The Right Hon. Gent, then referred to the events of the late Waterford election, and produced a variety of affidavits, to prove what had been the conduct of the Priests towards those of their flocks who had voted for Lord George Beresford, brother of the Marquis of Waterford. The Rev. Pierce Sexton, one of the priests, said from the altar, " that those who voted : t o'u i i) « t bin ft hp Pripqf'x^ din VYEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1827.

She was a heifer 5 years old, and weighed, when alive, two pounds less than a ton. The carcase weighs 18 score per quarter, the rough fat 2021bs. and the hide 65] bs. Hons is- STEALING.— A respectable Correspondent is of opinion, that if gentlemen and farmers, who possess valuable horses, were to keep their saddles injtheir houses, instead of in the outbuildings or stables, it would tend to prevent tha crime of horse stealing. He observes, that in most cases where valuable liorses have been stolen, a saddle, or a saddle and bridle, have also been stolen; and this will be accounted for by the cunning of the thieves, each of whom knows, that if he were to be seen lurking about the country with a saddle, or riding off a valuable horse without a saddle, his conduct and appearance would excite suspicion, and most probably lead to his apprehension.— If tlie hint ot our Correspondent were attended to, we have no hesitation ill expressing our belief, that it would tend both to tbe prevention of the crime and to the conviction of offenders. On Sunday, the 25th ult. Mr. R. Crowtlier, church- warden of Kenley, in this county, distributed six- pounds among 25 poor persons of that parish, being fines laid upon two persons for cutting down trees belonging to the Earl of Darlington.

The Hon. Gent, read other depositions proving similar facts ; and contended that it was folly to expect the Catholic Priesthood would be appeased by what is called Emancipation. They do not look for political power alone; thev want supremacy ; and till that is obtained, they will never permit the Roman Catholic part of the community to tie satisfied. Mr. SPRING RICE urged the necessity of granting concessions'lo the Catholics, ton the ground of ful- filling- the common obligations of diffusing civil and religions liberty. Mr. Vtr. LIERS STUART defended- the Catholic Priests. Mr. G. BANRES bore no enmity to the Roman Catholics, but he was persuaded nil concessions, nor any thing but supremacy, would snlisfy Ihe Roman Catholic Priesthood; and unless their claims were ' resisted in their present state, we liiust by and by consent to sacrifice the Protestant Constitution of the Country.

Worshipful the Mayor in the chair ; when an Address to Mis Majesty, on the present critical State of Public Affairs, was unanimously agreed to—" IVe are not. ( says the Bristol Journal) privy to t! » e particular reasons which dictated this well- timed production ; but from information which bas reached us, from more than one source of peculiar information, we do not hesitate publicly to state our owreconviction of - What the imperative necessity is, which at this time exists for thus addressing t'be Throne. That the Political existence of the Premier of the present Administration is extinct, there can be 110 more doubt than there is, that it was through his power and influence that the present Cabinet has held together, notorious as it is, that they are divided in opinion upon a question of such vital importance to ( ho Constitution, as that of the admission of the Roman Catholics to political power. Nor is it now less apparent, that this link of union being broken, his Majesty is at a loss in what maimer and through whose instrumentality the present Cabinet is to be re- united ; or, if the Administration is eventually to be dissolved, to whom he is to look as their suc- cessors, for that firm and uncompromising attach, ment to those principles which were established at the Revolution, and which it is well known it is his Majesty's determination, as it was that of his' Royal Father, so conscientiously and religiously to main- tain. That a part of the present Cabinet is endeavouring to undermine these principles, and to make concessions to the Catholics the sine qua non of their continuing in power or supporting the Minister that his Majesty may appoint in the places of that firm adherent to the Protestant cause, the Earl of Liverpool, is now well known, and it must therefore be, we hesitate not lo affirm, to strengthen his Majesty's hands, and to' support him in the arduous and trying situation in which he is about to be placed, that this Address is now submitted, to our fellow citizens, and that the following passages form so conspicuous a part in its composition :— u We cannot conceal from ourselves the magnitude of those losses which the Protestant Religion, assailed as il has been, of late years, by the constantly renewed Attacks of Papal lucroacbment, has suffered within these Realms, by the lamented demise of your Majes- ty's illustrious Relative, the most exalted and powerful of her Champions, nnd by the sudden and afflicting Dispensation of Providence, which has since suspended the services of that eminent Statesman placed at tho head of your Majesty's Government, whose Abilities and deeply rooted Constiiutioual Principles have so deservedly secured to him the highest rank iu tbe Esteem and Confidence of his Fellow Subjects. " In this alarming state of Public Affairs, when Ihe efforts of our Roman Catholic Brethren for the attain- ment of Political Power and Influence in tbe State, are renewed with increased activity and vehemence, the exertions of a vigorous and united Administration are obviously requisite to protect tbe Country from Ihe Calamities, which would he the inevitable consequence of so fatal an invasion of tbe fundamental principles of the Constitution." " To Your Majesty, the Father of your People, and supreme Guardian of the Laws, we'look wi> h confi- dence to provide for that protection. Upon your Majesty's watchful and parental Care for Ihe welfare of your Subjects, we know ihat we may rely for tho adoption of whatever Measures mav be, requisite to avert from the Country such fearful Calamities, and we beg respectfully to submit our assured conviction that, in such Measures, Your Majesty will receive the cordial and grateful Support of all Classes of your Protestant Subjects." " We are not actuated by any Feeling of iTnkindness to our Roman Catholic Brethren. The spirit of Tolera- tion which marks the Religion it is our giorv to profess, teaches us to rejoice in every Concession* which has been made to them for the full and free enjoyment: of their Religious Worship; but. it is our firm and con- scientious Conviction, that the concession of Political Power within these Dominions to Members of the Church of Rome, is incompatible with the Safety of our Religious and Civil Liberties, as established at the Revolution. Their exclusion from tiie National * ouu- cils, and from high Offices iu the State, was the basis upon w hich those Blessings were secured by the wis- dom of our Ancestors.

Find la// and Hart.— This vvns au action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of £ 173, for tallow and candles supplied to tbe London United Mining Com- pany, of which the defendants were members. The goods were delivered at one of their mines in Corn- wall.— Mr. Serjeant Wilde and : Ylr. Parke conducted the plaintiff's case; Mr. Serjeant Tntldy appeared for Fiudlay, aud Mr. Sergeant Cross for the other defendant. — After proof of the delivery bv the plaiu- tilf, Mr. Serjeant Tatjdv contended th;, t his client was selected from ainongsl the members of the company unfairly, to pay for goods sold aud delivered while the company existed, and that there was no proof when he signed tbe deed. Mr. Sergeant Cross set up a defence that bis client had sold his shares and was not liable, and that he bad not signed ihe deed. Chief Justice Best held that persons getting their names enrolled in a book of a company were answerable until they got their names taken therefrom. They could not sell their shares iu a partnership by mean's of a hit of paper called scrip, through tbe agency of a broker. There was no doubt but both the defendants ' were liable to be extent of their fortunes, although they might have been led awav by great names'. It was true that they had their remedy against, tbe other proprietors, which might be a w bolesome lesson to those who had leal their names, and teach them that they could not, after having done so, turn round and say we have disposed of all our iuteresls, or have untliing to do with tiie company.— Verdict for the pi a'nl iff— da images £ 173.

If they be merely taxed in an equal degree with the lest of the community, they have no right to a protection duty. 1 hey may have s\ » ch a protection duly as will render the duties affecting their produce equal to the duties that affect the produce of the manufacturers j but not a higher one. Suppose a manufacturer, from advantages in ma- chinery, capital, fuel, and geographical situation, is able to undersell the whole world; and suppose a farmer, from difference in manner of living, climate, & c, can be undersold by the whole world : if the duties affecting the produce of the two were equalised, what would follow ? The manufacturer, in regard to the duties, would not be affected by the foreign com- petition, he would have a flourishing trade, and hi: workmen would maintain their standard of living; the farmer and his servants vvould be plunged into ruin and starvation. Putting out of sight right and justice— putting out of sight the horrible crime and wickedness of snaking a distinction like this between man and man— has the Slate no interest in the matter Would the empire profit from the plunging of ten or fifteen millions of the population into beggary and want, merely to produce this equalization of duties? Political Economy !— call it political idiotcy— political frenzy— political theft, and confiscation— political cruelty and iniquity— political pestilence! but prosti- tute that honest, straightforward, invaluable, old English word— Economy, in this manner no longer. The Infallibles accuse our light laud of the un- pardonable offence oi causing food to be far dearer lhan it would be were our best land alone cultivated, and the deficient corn supplied from abroad. We must not omit to notice a matter of such immense importance. Putting out of sighl small parcels and extreme cases, the rent of the best land in England is perhaps about three pounds per acre. This land in fair years will perhaps yield four quarters of wheat per acre. Assuming that w heat is 60s. per quarter, and that the landlord receives one- third of the money received by the farmer for the corn be sells, the rent causes wheat to be 20s. per quarter dearer than it would be if no rent were paid. Will any man say that rent ought to be wholly annihilated ? We think not. We will, how- ever, throw it aside altogether. Although it must be clear to every one that the capital vested by tbe land- lord in buildings and fences, causes corn to be several shillings per quarter cheaper than it otherwise could be, we will not notice it. Well, then, wheat from our best land could be sold for 40s. the quarter, if no rent were paid. Each member of the community woidd gain from this 20s. yearly, or a little more than 4^ d. weekly, assuming that cach eats a quarter of wheat annually. If all other corn were low in proportion, as it ought lo be according to the Infallibles, almost half the land of this country would go out of culture. Then, cry these unerring people, how cheap , beef and mutton would be! Of all the preposterous errors that were ever sent into this erring world, this doc- trine that our poor land could be converted iuto rich pasture, is the most preposterous. Grass requires as rich laud as corn lo thrive upon, and only our rich land could form rich paslnre. Our light arable land at present produces a surplus of horned cattle; it remotely, if not directly, sends a considerable quantity of beef to market : if it were laid down permanently, il vvould do this no longer, for, after the first year or two, it would afford neither hay or pasturage for horned cattle. If now keeps immense numbers of sheep; in truth, the supplies of mutton and lamb are in a very important degree drawn from it; for much of the richest wheat- land grows no turnips and sup. ports very few sheep. If it were laid down, it might afford inferior summer food for about as many sheep as it keeps nt present; it would do lillle more. But it vvould not produce a vestige of winter food. The gigantic mass of turnips and clover which it now yields, it would ) ield no longer: and no substitute rould be provided for ihem. Who would keep slice; in summer, with the knowledge that he could not find winter food for them in the country? No one This land, therefore, would not rear more than per- haps one- third of the sheep it rears at present. Mut ton and lamb would probably be doubled in price, and beef vvould be greatly raised. If we suppose lhat each member of ihe community consumes a quarter of a pound of butcher's meat daily, then if such meat should be raised four- pence per pound, the additional cost to each member would be 7d. weekly, and 30s. 5d. yearly. Of course every member of the community would gain 20s. on the one hand, and lose 30s. 5d. on the other : would sustain a dead loss of 10s. 5d. annually from the cheap corn. We have not specified bacon, because it might be import* d; a very large import w ould be necessary lo keep it from being very dtar. An immense number of swine is now reared on this light land, w hich would be reared no longer. Hogs, in the farm yard, cost scarcely anything until they are put up to feed; but if they had to be kept by people having to buy food for them from first to lasl, bacon ought lo be much dearer than it is to pay the cost of production, how- ever cheap corn might be. What brought the light land into, and what has kept it in, cultivation? The high price of wheat? No. A very large part of this land is never sown with wheat; it will not grow it; and Ihe other part will only grow it once in six or eight years, This land was brought into cultivation by the high price of barley, oats, sheep, and wool. The com enabled the farmer to provide turnips and other winter food for his sheep, and these enabled him to get good crops of corn. The market is ruined for wool, and open ports would ruin it for oats and barley. The low price of all these, and not of wheat, would drive the land out of culture. That the cultivation of the light lands has been I lie means of keeping animal food at about half ibe price it otherwise would have risen lo, is, in our judgment, peifectly certain. Mutton and lamb comprehend so large a portion of the animal food consumed in this country, that if they were very dear, Ibis of itself would cause other kinds of such food to be dear. Speaking of food as a whole— and it is preposterous to represent lhat bread forms, wholly or chiefly, the food of a nation like this— the cultivation of the light lands has caused it to be cheaper and not dearer. The country has gained more from such cultivation in regard to animal food, than it has lost in regard to bread. That the Infalliblcs— the men who believe thai the most light and barren of our land could, in a moment, be converted into rich pasture— should speak, as though bread constituted the sole food of the British people, is very natural; but that the Ministry and Parliament of Britain should so speak, is alike won- derful and lamentable. Away with cheap bread, if we cannot have it without losing our roast beef! Away with cheap bread, if it must take from us our honest and well- flavoured legs aud shoulders of mutton! Away with cheap bread, if it will not suffer us to cat lamb with our green pease! Give us a beef steak, or mutton chop, with potatoes to din- ner, and we will never repine because we cannot exchange them for a dinner of dry bread ! But if it were true that the culture of the light land had caused food to be considerably dearer, it would be false to say that the additional price has been al! loss to the nation. The Infallibles speak as though this land could never be improved; but ihe truth is, good management, in ten, fifteen, or twenty ears, makes it land of average quality. Let a man enclose a garden from the lightest and poorest land be can find; let him dig aud manure it well, and in five or six years he will make it rich and fertile. I'he high prices of ihe last thirty years have changed ions of acres of worthless land, into land of average fertility ; they have practically given to the nation for ever millions of acres of fertile land, in addition to what it previously possessed; and they have moreover greatly increased the fertility of the whole laud of the country. Has ihis yielded no benefit to the nation? Granting that each member of the trading part of the community may pay annually 10s. more for hie quarter of wheat than he would pay were its price 43s. instead of 53s.; and that this may amount in the aggregate to £ 5,000,000 yearly, still, if in its whole operation it have the effect of giving to the nation half a million additional acres of fertile laud yearly, who will say that it produces national loss, or thai il does not produce immense national benefit ? Upon the whole then, if the prices of agricultural produce were brought down as the Infallibles wish— if only one fourth of them were struck off, the receipts of ibe agricultural body would be diminished one fourth. If we take these receipts at £ 160,000,000 annua! ly~~ and we are confident they amount to far more— they would be £ 40,000,000 less than they now are. The body would lose £ 40,000,000 of its present income. Where would he fhe gain fo the traders and manu- facturers ? Each individual would find his quarter of wheat 13s. or 15^. a year, or about 3d. a week cheaper to him, provided he could keep his income from diminution. Could he do this? No. It is pro- claimed that prices and wages must fall with corn, and every one knows that competition would bring them - down." The workman would have no more money to biry corn with than he has at present, and Ihe master's rate of. profit would not be raised. Allowing for every thing, forty millions sterling at least would be subtracted from the home sales of the traders and manufacturers. Could they increase their foreign sales so as to balance this? It vvould be a physical impossibility. A large part of their foreign sales depends on thai portion of sugar, rum, cotton, coffee, & c. which the agriculturists vvould consume no longer; this they would lose, and the imported corn vvould scarcely afford a balance to it. They could only make a very trifting reduction in their prices; and if thry could make a material one, it would be met by increased duties in foreign countries. Every thing in reason warrants the belief, that it would be utterly impossible for them lo preserve their foreign sales from serious diminution. The Immense subtraction from the sales of the traders and manufacturers would reduce greatly their amount of profits, and throw vast numbers of their workmen out of employment; this would cause a very large farther diminution of their sales. The glut would run down their prices and wages so much, that food would be really twice as dear to them as it has lately been. If we assume that the land yields three per cent, interest on ils value, and that tiie annual rental of Ihe whole is £ 30,000,000 ; then the value of the whole is £ 1,000,000,000. Land can be mortgaged to half ils value, therefore here are the means of investing capital on loan to Ihe amount of £ 500,000,000, or in purchase lo ihe amount of £ 1,000,000,000. If the value of ptoduce be reduced, the value of land must he reduced likewise; and a reduction of one- fourth would sweep away at once £ 250,000,000 in land alone; and a gigantic additional sum in farming stock. It would make a corresponding reduction iu the means of invest ing capital. The landlords would be left almost without income — the body of country gentlemen vvould exist no longer except in name— England's boasted jeomanry would be annihilated— the structure of village society would be reduced lo ruins— our country population would be rendered like that of Ireland— and the constitution of Parliament would be wholly changed. We now place what we have said before the friends of their country. Whether they be Agriculturists, Merchants, or Manufacturers, we implore them to examine facts, weigh arguments, look at the experi- ence of the past, and judge on this momentous question conscientiously. Let them uot be guided by either the Ministry or the Opposition— let them not be led by what we say, or by what ihe Whigs or Benthamites say, or by what the apostate Tories say— let them turn from party, interest, aud friendship, make themselves thoroughly acquainted with all the bearings of the question, and then decide according to the dictates of their own understandings. Their deci- sion will form the nalvalion of their country, or the greatest corse that ever befel it. If we plead in vain if the landlords be unworthy of notice— if the in terests of tbe empire, as a whole, must be disregarded till let ihem listen to the millions of their fellow- subjects, whose bread, peace and comfort are drawn from the cultivation of ihe soil; and not consign them to beggary and hunger, without giving them an im- partial hearing, and the benefit of every doubt, ac- cording lo English justice and equity. breast, and preserving a respectful silence. As aft these women spoke only Turkish, we needed a second interpreter, who, in her turn, understood only Turkish and Arabic, so that what 1 said in Italian had to be translated into Arabic, and the Arabic into Turkish ; thus, to understand each other, we had need of three languages, and two interpreters. It may readily be supposed that the conversation could not go on fluently, as we depended on the good will and talents of our interpreters: in fact, the qui pro quo resulting from the bad translations of our questions aud answers were truly comic, and excited so much gaiety that loud aud repealed bursts of laugh- ter soon established a good understanding between ns. The oldest of the consorts of ihe Aga, however, main- tained a dignified gravity, while the other, who was much younger, and of an animated and interesting countenance, repeated, with extreme volubility, the most insignificant questions, and did not fail to ex- amine the whole arrangement of my toilette. They asked me many questions respecting the women in my country ; as for Europe, 1 believe, Ihey entertained very vague notions of it, ami when 1 told them thai our husbands had but one wife and no slaves, they looked at one another, undetermined whether to ap- plaud or laugh at this custom. They were nearly all natives of Syria, Cii cassia, and Georgia, and I had thus leisure to survey these beauties who enjdy so much celebrity. They un- doubtedly merit their reputation; } can, however, tell my fair country women, to comfort them, and fo do justice to truth, that Europe certainly can boast of beauties equal to those of the East. Those whom I had now the pleasure of seeing, had the most agreeable countenances, and delicate and regular features : but what most attracted my admiration was their httir, which fell in waving and natural curls down to their waist. They had each preserved their national cos- tume, which agreeably varied this pretty parterre; nor had they adopted the tresses of the Egyptian women, which rather disfigure than improve the figure. They had exquisitely beautiful teeth, but tbe clearness and bloom of youth were banished from their com- plexion ; they all had a languid air, and I did not find among them that embonpoint which 1 had ex- pected, to meet. Refreshments were brought in on a small table of cedar, very low, and ornamented with a pretty Mosaic of ivory and molher- of- pearl; the collation consisted of confectionary, cakes made of honey and fruits, and sherbet. Meantime, some slaves burnt incense in silver censers, and frequently sprinkled us with rose water; two others placed themselves at my side; and every time that I either ate or drank any thing, were ready to hold under my lips a napkin of a coarse quality, yet embroidered with gold. Others, provided with fans, drove away the swarms of insects which the pastry and fruit bad attracted around us. In short, each seemed to have a particular function to perform. When the repast was ended, they wished me to pass the night with them and to take the bath; but having already acquainted myself with Ihis kind of amuse- ment at Cairo, I declined their polite invitation After going over the house, which did not contain any thing remarkable, I took my leave ; and on de parting, distributed among the slaves some small gold coins, to which they attach a great value.

K SALE IN LONDON.— The wholeof tha' on 1 uesday evening, Lord WHARNCLIFFE intro- company's silks have been sold, as well as a few lota THE RUINS OF BABYLON. ( From Captain KeppeVs Personal Narrative J The total circumference has been found to be two thousand two hundred and eighty- six feet, which gives fo the ruins a much greater extent of base than to the original building. The surplus is very great,- when one considers the quantity that must have been removed by tbe Macedonian soldiers, and how much, in the course of ages, must have been taken by the workmen employed in digging for bricks. The elevation of the mound is irregular: to the west it is one hundred and ninety- eight feet high. On tbe top is that which looked like a castle in the distance ; it is a solid mass of kiln- burnt bricks, fhirty- seven feet high, and twenty- eight broad. The bricks, which are of an excellent description, are laid in with a fine and scarcely perceptible cement. At regular intervals, some bricks are omitted so as to leave square apertures through the mass; these may possibly have been intended to procure a free current of air, that should prevent the admission of damp into the brickwork. The summit of the mass is much broken, and the fractures are so made as to carry conviction that violence has been used to reduce it to this state. Distant from the pile of bricks just described, and lower down on the north face ofthe large mound, is another mass exactly similar. Pieces of marble, stones, and broken bricks, lie scattered over the ruin. The most curious of the fragments are several misshapen masses of brickwork quite black, except in a few places where regular layers of kiln- burnt bricks are discernible: these have certainly been subjected to some fierce heat, as they are completely molten—'- a strong presumption that fire was used in the destruction of the Tower, which, in parts, resembles what the Scriptures prophesied it should become, a " burnt mountain." Travellers who have visited this spot, have beeu struck with the curious appearance of these frag- ments, and, having only seen the black surface, have altogether rejected the idea of their being bricks. In the denunciation respecting Babylon, fire is particularly mentioned as au agent against it. To this Jeremiah evidently alludes, when he says that it should be < l* as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah," on which cities, it is said, " the Lord rained brimstone and fire." Again, " 1 will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him ;" and in another place, " Her high gates shall be burned with fire, and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary." Taking into calculation the brick mass on the top of the large mound, the ruins are two hundred and thirty- five feet high, which gives nearly half the height of the tower in its perfect state. Rich thought he could trace four stages, or stories of party induce the same conviction. Wild beasts appeared to be as numerous here as at Mujillebe. Mr. Lamb gave up his examination, from seeing an animal crouched in one ofthe square apertures. I saw another in a similar situation, and the large foot- print of a lion was so fresh, that the beast must have stolen away on our approach. From the summit we had a view of the vast heaps which constitute all that now remains of ancient Babylon; a more complete picture of desolation could not be well imagined. The eye wandered over a barren desert, iu which the ruins were nearly tbe only indication that it had ever been inhabited. It was impossible to behold this scene, and uot to be reminded how exactly the predictions of Isaiah and Jeremiah have been fulfilled, even in the appearance Babylon was doomed to present: that " she should never be inhabited;" that " the Arabian should uot pitch his tent there ;" that she should " become heaps ;" that her cities should be " a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness." Mr. John Williams has, by a decision of a com- mittee of the House of Commons, lost his seal for lichester. Will not the Cheshire Whig Club find him another? CONSPIRACY.— Noah Goldstein, Manasseh Gold- stein, Casper Marks, Racbael Raphael, Morris Raphael, Michael Jacobs, Amelia Tobias, and Abraham Solo- mon, were indicted at the Middlesex Sessions on Thursday, for a conspiracy to defraud the County Fire Office, by fabricating a claim of £ 936 upon the Office for goods said to have been burnt al a fire which took place on ihe premises of two of the parties, viz. Noah Goldstein aud Casper Marks, in Sarah- place, Old- street load, on 27th July, 1826. Only the four latter defendants appeared to lake their trial. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners; and the Court sentenced Mrs. Tobias to nine months imprisonment, and the other three de- fendants to eighteen months each. Goldstein and Marks were said to have absconded. GAME LAWS.— Many complaints are made of the British Game Laws, aud a reference has been made to the superiority of the laws of France on this teubject, as in that country the sale of game is legalized.— The advantages possessed by the French will appear rather doubtful, when we state that an official article on " The State of Crime in France," has just been published, by which it appears, that in the year 1825, the enormous and almost incredible number of eighty- six thousand eight hundred and sixty- one individuals were implicated in offences against the Forest and Game Laws! LIVERPOOL RACE*.— An Annual Meeting has been advertised at this place on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday following the Preston Races, being the first year. The Stewards are Earl Wiltou and Sir John Gerrard, Bart. PRICE OF BREAD.— The following is an extract from a speech delivered by Mr. Huskisson on the 5th of June, 1814 :— With respect to the encouragement which ought to be afforded to the farmer, it should be considered that there w<* s 1,0w a great diminution in the value of money; and that the capital necessary for duced two bills to remedy the evils produced by the Game Laws. They were read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time that day fortnight. In the House of Commons, on the same evening, the MASTER OF THE ROLLS brought forward his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to alter aud amend the practice of the Court of Chanccry, founded upon the report of the Chancery Com- mittee. The speech of the Right Hon. Gent, was received with marked approbation by the House.— Mr. M. A. TAYLOR thought that he did not go far enough in his reform.— Mr. BROUGHAM made a very long speech, which appears to be more directed against the Lord Chancellor personally, than against the acknowledged defects of the Court of Chancery — Mr. PEEL, in a very eloquent address, vindicated the character of the Lord Chancellor from the aspersions thrown upon it, quoting the highest praise on the character and ability of his Lordship from the very speeches of his opponents.— Leave was given unanimously to bring in the Bill. CATHOLIC CLAIMS.— In the year 18C5, the claims of the Irish Catholics were for the first time brought under the consideration of Parliament, when they were rejected by a majority of 212.— In 180S they were again rejected, but by a reduced majority of 153.— In 1810, by a decreased majority of 112 — In 1812, they were again rejected, but by the still lessened majority of 85, in a House of 515 members. — I ti 1813, they were conceded in the House of Commons by a majority of 40, in a House of 4S8 members.— In 1821, they were again conceded, and a bill ill their favour passed the Commons.— In 1822 ( upon a motion for the relief of the Catholic Peers), the principle of emancipation was again recognized, and a bill passed the Commons.— In 1825, their claims were again acknowledged by the Commons, and a bill passed in their favour.— In the three last instances that the great land. marks, of the Constitution have not been removed, we owe to the resistance of the House of Lords, who, however, upon a full attendance of the Peers, have been able to muster a majority of little more than 40. Nor should it be overlooked by the opponents of the Catholic Claims, that they have lost in the political demise of the Premier Minister a host of strength, whether we refer to the office, the influence, or the personal exertions of that distinguished Nobleman. carrying on farming operations, must now be double to what it was before the war. The Noble Lord ( Lord A. Hamilton) deceived himself, therefore, if he thought things could return to what they were before the war. This was one of the most dangerous errors that could be entertained. What was likely to be the permanent charge of this country, now that the war was at an end ? The whole expenses of this country, including all our establishments, before the war, only amounted to sixteen millions Would this produce no alteration in the money value of articles? When ge'ntlemen talked of the increased price of bread was not every thing else raised in proportion, and that not iu consequence of the high price of bread, but the amount of taxation It was impossible for the country to return to the prices before the war. It has been said that the obvious remedy was to lower the rents. He had not the good fortune to be a landholder, and he had no interest but that of the public in general in view The proportion of the gross proceeds of land, which now came to the landlord, however it might be represented in money, was now much less than it was in 1792. Previous to the war, in a farm o" moderate extent, the farmer considered himself requited if he made three rents from it. But it was necessary in the case of such a farm now, that th farmer should make at least five rents to be enabled to go on. If even the whole rental of the country u- ere remitted, it. would he impossible to return to the prices before the war. lie was not afraid to declare that the people of this country must not expect, be the law on the subject what it may, that, with our burthens, the price of bread can ever be less than double to what it was before the tear.'' To this extract it is but necessary to add, in the shape of comment, that the price of the quarter loaf, upou the average of the years 17C0,1791, au 1792, was a fraction more than 7| d. while the pre. sent price of bread in this year, after a short crop is about 9d.; whereas, according to Mr. Huskisson' very just calculation, in order to support the farmer in his proper relative rank, the present price of th 41b. loaf, allowing for the difference between that and the quartern, ought to be about Is. 3d.: and yet there are persons who tell us that bread is too dear i nf AN EGYPTIAN HALLEM. AN EXTRACT From the Nodes Amhrosiance, No. 31, Ii » B/. ACKWOOD's MAUAZINlt. , { From Recollections of Egypt, ly the Baroness Von Minutoli.) The harem of the Aga was situated nearly opposite to the residence of Mr. Faker, on the other bank of Ihe Nile, in a garden, in the Turkish style, that is to say, a piece of ground without trees. 1 was accom- panied by the lady of lite Portuguese physician who understood a liltle Italian and Arabic, ant! who was to act as my interpreter. When we arrived at the entrance of the building, we were received by a black eunuch, richly dressed, who invited us to go into a very cool apartment, with latticed windows, and no furniture except a very broad and low divan. He left us to announce us lo his mistress: we soon after saw the two wives of the Aga, accompanied by two of his daughters, one of whom was yet a child, aud the other married to one of the superior officers iu the army, aud about twenty young slaves. The Iwo ladies, as well as the daughters of the Aga, seated themselves next to me, while the slaves ranged themselves in half a circle before us, with their arms crossed on the SHEPHERD.

NORTH. Beyond, James ! SHEPHERD. In or ower, Sir. Sudden Death of Dr. Kitchener. It is with sincere regret that we record the death Dr. Kitchener, a gentleman well known, and much respected by a large circle of acquaintance in the literary, musical, anil dramatic world. The Doctor had on Monday dineii at Mr. Brahflm'a, where he exhibited rather an unusual flow of spirits, for liis friends had of late reason to regret his withdrawal in a great measure from the society which he used frequently to enliven with his presence, in consequence of a spasmodic affec- tion, and palpitation of the heart, an affliction which gained upon him much within the last year, and created a despondency which he could not overcome. It seems that, although in obedience lo the advice of liis medical friends, he had ordered his carriage at half- past eight, he stayed till nearly eleven o'clock. On his way home he was seized hy one of those violent fits of palpitation which he had of late frequently experienced ; and on arriving at his house in Warren. street, Fitzrov- square, he alighted, and with a hurried slep, which " appeared singular to his household, reached a sofa, on which lie threw himself, and lay for nearly an hour, the greater part of it in considerable pain, but, as he shewed no new symptoms, and gradually recovered, his attendants did not call in medical aid. It was observed, indeed, that llie affection was not so violent as lie had of late often suffered. About twelve o'clock lie felt well enough to remove to bed, hut upon lying down he was attacked still more violently. At his own request, i little brandy wns administered, when lie turned hi: head', heaved 3 heavy sighs, and expired, without tin slightest t,> evious intimation of approaching dissolution His family were not sensible of the event^ hot, believ- ing tliat the Doctor was in a fit, sent for Mr. Rollins, the surgeon, of Tottenham- court- road, an intimate friend in whose skill Dr. K. had always felt great confidence. They also applied warm water to hii feet, rubbed his hands, and used the customary remedies to restore animation. When Mr. Robins arrived, he immediately opened a vein, bit! only obtained a few drops of blood exceedingly dark in colour, and he pronounced his late patient dead. Few men boasted so many acquaintance or were more generally visited— few were so readv to serve others, and scarcely any in the sphere of life in which the Doctor moved were so generally respected In his manners he was eccentric, but there was good nature in his eccentricities. In his habits he was sin- gular, but there was benevolence even in what some called his follies ; and many successful candidates for public favour in literature, music, and the drama, owe their first fortunate step to the kind heart, the good offices, aud timely patronage of the Doctor. DSRHAM OX.— For the last few weeks, Mr. Tho- mas, of Digbeth, has exhibited the finest specimen ofthe Durham breed ever seen in this part of the kingdom, both as to its symmetry and the quality of the meat. This ox was 60 mouths old, and bred and fed by Thomas Walker, Esq. of Newbold, near Rugby, Warwickshire. It was slaughtered by Mr. Thomas, last week, and the following is a correct account of this fine animal; it stood 17j hands high ; length from between the horns to the rump end, 8 ft. 8 inches; leugth froar nose to the tail end, 16 feet 8 inches; girth, 10 feet 11 inches, round the leg, below the knee, 8J inches ; weight of the fore- quarter, 29 score 2 lbs.; weightofthe hind- quarter, 33 score 8 lbs.; weight of fat, 2 cwt.; weight of bide, 116 lbs.; thickness of fat on the ribs, 9 inches; and on the rump, 5 inches. the sense of the country, therefore, be not strongly, dtcidedly, and effectively manifested ; if the people do not irrefragably shew themselves adverse to the dangers they apprehend from what termed Catholic Emancipation, that measure may eventually, and at no distant period, be obtained; and then, in another course of years, the Protestant cause may, as heretofore has be. n the case, have to " jht for existence through, perhaps, all the evils of disputed succession, or all the perils of a second Reformation. MONUMENT TO THH LATE DUKB OF YORK — At a numerous meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, held at Freemasons' Hall, ou Monday, the Duke of Wellington in the chair, it was unanimously resolv- ed to erect a monument or statue, as a perpetual token of national gratitude to the late Commander- n- Chief; and it was also agreed that His Majesty's pleasure should be taken as to the particular part of the metropolis where the monument should be placed. A subscription was instantly commenced, which amounted, in the course of that and the following day, to upwards of £ 4000.— Among the subscribers are— the Earl of Darlington £ 300; the Earl of Powis £ 200; Lord Kenyon £ 50. United States Papers have been received to the 31st January. The most important portion of their contents is a Report of the Committee of Commerce, ou that part ofthe President's speech which related to Commerce, and, principally, the Colonial Trade of Great Britain and the United States. The Report concludes with the following passage:—" Your Committee having presented their views to the Senate, with the accompanying Bill, indulge a hope that the terms proposed will be acceptable to Great Britain, that the commerce will return to its wonted channels, and that the two countries, though touch- ing at many points, but rivals in none, will pursue their march in the high career that lies before them, not iu the spirit of commmercial jealousy, but with a generous and noble competition." The fight between Dick Curtis and Barny Aaron ( the Jew), took place on Tuesday, about 5 miles beyond Andover. It lasted about 50 minutes, and terminated in favour of Curtis. Both men severely punished. Another engagement then took place, between Young Dutch Sam and Gipsy Cooper, which lasted about an hour aud ten minutes, when Dutch Sam proved victorious. Both parties fought ou a stage six feet high. How TO BUY SHEEP!— At a public sale by auc- tion, on the farm of Mr. R. Parker, of Witney, a chemist and druggist, also of that town, seeing, as he thought, the first pen of sheep ( ten in number) going off very cheap, bid for them, and they were his; the next lot the same; and so on to the fifth, which was knocked down at 44s.— he remarked it was not 4s. 6d a piece for them! at which a general burst of laughter and confusion ensued, and the auctioneer acquainted him it was 44s. per head, according to the custom in such cases, and as he had stated in the conditions of sale; but the chemist insisted that the sheep were his at the sums stated for each lot, and that he did not hear a word about " per head." Some persons wished thein to be put up again; but the principal dealers knew better, and declared the sale good. THE TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL.— Barecastle new Tunnel, Staffordshire, whereof Thomas Telford, Esq. is Chief Engineer.— This Tunnel, which is nearly two miles in length, and in a direct line, so that one entrance may be seen from the other, was completed on the 24th of November, 1826, on which day the last brick was laid by James Caldwell, Esq. Chairman to the Company, in the presence of nu- merous spectators. After the usual forms were gone through, the Chairman's health was drank with three times three ; the Committee, Mr. Lister, Mr. Caldwell, jun. and the Trent and Mersey Canal Company, with the same honours. The Chairman expressed great satisfaction to Mr. James Potter, Resident Engineer, and Mr. Daniel Pritchard, the Contractor, for the substantial and workmanlike manner in which the works have been so expe- ditiously executed, in the short space of two years and a half— whilst that of the old Tunnel ( which is withi n 30 yards of the new one) was in progress eleven years.— The new Tunnel is allowed to be the completest in England, having a Towing Path throughout, with a strong iron hand Railing, which will be a great accommodation to the public, as boats may pass and repass without that delay which had previously been experienced. The newTunnel will be opened for public navigation in the course of a few weeks. The workmen employed on the above works, to the amount of four hundred and upwards, sat down to a good dinner, of Roast. Beef aud Plum Pudding, on the above occasion, after which they were regaled at Burslem and Tunstall. We have heard it asserted, by persons who are competent judges, that the fulfilment of the above contract is without any precedent, both as to the rapidity with which such a work of labour has been completed, or the style in which it is executed. LOVE'S TELEGRAPH.— If a gentleman wants a wife, he wears a ring on Ihe first finger of Ihe left hand; if he be engaged, he wears it on the second finger; if married, on the third; and on the fourth if he never intends to be married. When a lady i » not engaged, she wears a hoop or diamond on her first finger; if engaged, on the second ; if married, on the third ; and on Ihe fourth if she intends to die a maid. When a gentleman presents a fan, flower, or a trinket ( o a lady wilh Ihe left hand, Ihis on his part is an overture of regard ; should she receive it wilh Ihe left hand, it is considered as an acceptance of his esteem ; but if wilh Ihe right hand, il is a refusal of Ihe offer. Thus, by a few simple tokens, explained by rule, Ihe passion of love is expressed, and through tlie medium of Ihe telegraph, the most timid and diffident man may, without difficulty, communicate his sentiments of regard for a lady, and ( iu case his offer should be refused) avoid experiencing the mortification of an ex- plicit refusal. ACCEPTANCES.— A point of law was laid clown in the King's Bench last week, which cannot be too extensively known.— The general rule in respect of bills is, that a holder, who has given real value, shall in all cases, to the amount of the value, have recourse on the drawer, acceptors, and indorsers The exception to this rule, laid down by the Chief Justice, which is an important one, is, that wherever a bill shall be received from one who has, to the knowledg. of the receiver, beeu guilty, on a former occasion, of paying away bills without the authority ofthe owner, although the receiver have paid value he shall lose hii remedy. of private trade China; aud the advance in price* has been very great. Fine silks have advanced from' 10 to 12f per cent.; coarse silks 15 per cent.; antf middle sizes from 15 to 20 per cent. In some parti* cular silks an advance has taken place of from 4s. tuf' 5s. per lb. ; and the general average advance has been' from 3s. lo 4s. per lb. At the close of Thursday's sale, Tsatlee China was selling at 22s. Italian silks* having found such an increased consumption abroad last year, added lo the failure of Ihe Recolta, but liltle is left iu the hands of the Italian grower; and at this time sixty or seventy of the throwing mills in Piedmont are closed for want of Ihe raw material. The defi- ciency of Italian raw has been made up by an increased consumption of Bengal and China silks; as is proved by the fact, that during Ihe lasl four months, thtt delivery of raw silk from Ihe East India House has exceeded four thousand five hundred bales; whilst, in the same period, during Ihe most prosperous times, the delivery never exceeded two thousand five hundred. In the Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday, an action was brought to recover £ 10 paid by th « plaintiff'shusband for defendant's use. The defenco set up was, that the latter had w. rked out the sum on a Sunday. The Chief Justice said, that by a statute of Charles II. it was ordained that a person could not recover for work done on a Sunday, and he should not depart from that statute, as he was of opinion that that day should be held sacred. The Jury therefore returned a verdict for the whole amount claimed. DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT.— The Manchester and London mail coach was upset on Sunday night, on its way to town, about six miles beyond Leices- ter, when Mr. G. F. Bury, solicitor, of Manchester, and Secretary to the Royal Institution there, an inside passenger, was thrown out of the coach, and killed on the spot. Several other of the passenger* were severely, but not dangerously hurt. The fatal accident was occasioned by the horses having taken fright, and becoming unmanageable, they gallopped two or three miles on the road until the coach cam ® in contact with a garden wall, by which the vehicle was overturned. FREI TRADE.— The adoption of liberal principle* and free trade have been productive of great free- dom of speech throughout the kingdom: their con- demnation is not local but universal. At a numerous and highly respectable meeting of ship- owners, last week, in London, the recent measures were strongly reprobated by all as destructive of the national interest. It was clearly nhewn, that the novel system of Free Trade has proved incompatible with the circumstances of this country, of which it is currently reported Mr. Huskissou himself ia thoroughly convinced; therefore the sooner it Is abandoned the better. TOWN OF MACCLESFIELD— About eighteen months ago, when the silk trade was in the zenith of its prosperity, the rage for building in Maccles- field was carried to an extravagant excess. Sinc » that period, the town lias undergone most calamitouii reverses. VVe copy the following statement from the Macclesfield Herald:-— " We last week alluded to the incouvenienc* under which those of our fellow- townsmeu labour, who have vested property in buildings. We hava this week taken some pains to ascertain the number of houses at present uninhabited in this Borough— the total number is 880. In this statement we do not include houses recently built, and never te- nanted, nor those which are still unfinished. The joint number uf these, we are convinced, will amount to at least half of the number above stated. The uninhabited houses in Sutton, Hurdsfield, and Raiuow, cannot be fewer than those in the town, and supposing the calculation to be correct, ( and we have reason to believe that we are under, rather than over the mark,) we obtain a total of upward* of 1800 uninhabited houses, in the town and suburbs. A great majority of the tenants were employed in various branches of the silk trade. Now, if we reckon five inhabitants to a house, and this we believe to be a fair calculation, it follows that, in the course of one year, we have lost a population of nearly 9000 inhabitants. The efftct which this sudden decrease of population must produce upon shopkeepers and innkeepers, is of serious consequence to them. Their receipts are, of course, diminished ; but their rentals remain tha same, and their payments under the assessment for the poor are doubled.— Rentals of houses, as well as manufacturing buildings, must be lowered to meet the exigencies of the times; and why not? Wages have been lowered, the prices of manufac- tured goods have been lowered, provisions have been lowered in price— every species of property or commodity has been depreciated in this Town- excepting Reuts. We acknowledge that there is an apparent hardship in adopting this measure, as we kuow that many landlords, at the present time, have not half their houses occupied ; but a reduced rental, under the present symptom of reviving trade, may, at no distant period, produce a tenantry whose payments would be good interest for money expended, though not equal to what was once an- ticipated.— We may just add to the above, as ex- hibiting the effect which the late manufacturing distress has produced on property, that in the borough alone, there are no less than eighteen factories totally unemployed, besides forty- eight rooms in other factories. The CF. I. EBRATED COSMETIC, ROWLAND'* KALYDOR, appropriately styled by its numerous admirers " The Auxiliary of Beauty," is in all clime* and seasons of inestimable importance to female love- liness. In summer, il diffuses delightful coolness, guards Ihe skin effectually against the baneful influ- ence of solar heat; prevents slain, tan, freckle, and eruption; confers transparent whiteness intermixed with roseate bloom, and averts totally the approach of cutaneous imperfection in any shape whatsoever! Equally available are the virtues of Rowland's Kaly. dor during the rigours of Winter. Than inclement cold not any attack more seriously impairs tile beauty of a fine skin ; it becomes rough, red, vulgarly unseemly, broken, chapped, aud frequently disfigured by chil- blain ; all which deformities the Kalydor prevents or removes. Throughout season, lime, and climate, this faithful auxiliary arrays the neck and arms in radiant brilliancy, aud perpetuates this vivid bloom of juvenile attraction. To Mothers nursing their Off- spring, Ihe Kalydor proves a healing balm in all cases of soreness or inflammation of the breast; and lo Gentlemen, its previous application removes ait irritability of the skin, and renders the acl of shaving, theretofore a painful and difficult, now an easy and pleasant, operation.
