WVNN moved for A New Writ for » Member to serve for Newport, in tlie room of the Kitf: t Hon. George Canning, who hud accepted the office of First Lord of the Treasury — [ The aniwmice- itient was received willi loud cheering front the Oppo- sition.]- Mr. Wvss then moved that the Hoifte, at ils rising, should ndjonrn to Tuesday, the Ist of May. Mr. TURKEY opposed the moiion of adjournment, as lie said a report was current that the h. Ie Adniiuis- tration v a* gone ail hut one. and if tlie Kighl Hon Geiilleiiinn would nol eontriidict the report, lie thought tiie 111. use should consider w ell before'it abdicated all ils functions at such a crisis.— Mr. WYNN said, that it was iiAual at this sensun of ihe year to adjourn for a fortnight ; but ou this occasion it was most desirable thai sufficient time should be ydven lo complete the a i rnngruicuts consequent upon the formation " f a new MiiiiViry.— Mr. TIKIINHY said, ihiit li, ere hud heen already two months allowed for the formation of a new Adtninistinlion, mid now ll, e\ learned, ot lens! every one out ol' doors said, lluit all but oue of the Cabinet lluil run away — tliey best knew for what them- selves—( Laughter)— hut nobody in that House. knew why tliey went, or when they would come hack. Seven Members of the Cabinet, if rumour w as I n be relied ou, who were parties to asking that House, a fortnighl ago, to wait for the completion of a Minislrv, which they said was in forward progiess, had now relired from that Ministry, and under silcli circum- stances lie for one could never Consent to abandon his HIIL V to his cMietitucnls nud to the public ; for in liis opinion it would be nn abandonment of the country. He did tot, f never, press for a division, anil tbe question of adjournment was carried. Tbe Com Unties Bill was read a third time and pasted. Sttjc StTsminiotnUtcn. It will he seen, by referring lo the Parliamentary Proceedings of Thursday uiitht, that the Premiership has been decided. Sir. Canning is the First Lord of the Treasury, with, we presume, unrestricted influence ill the government of the Church and State— and with seven vacant seats in the Cabinet to supply ; for s- uch is the number of faithful and confidential servants whom the King has lost hy the Right Hon. Gentleman's promotion. They are— The Duke of Wellington ( Commander- in- Chief and Master of the Ordnance)', The Eai'l of EUlon ( Lord Chancellor), Viscount Melville ( First l ord cf the Admiralty),, Karl B. ithurst ( Colonial Secretary), The Earl of Westmoreland ( Lord Privy Seal), Lord Bexley ( Chancellor of the D. of Lancaster),. Mr. Pecf ( HomeSecretary). Besides the above- named1 Ministers, who were $ 11 of the Cabinetyinai y of the other official servants of the Crown, including the Duke of Montrose ( lord ' Chamberlain), the Marquis of Graham ( Vice. Chamberlain), tlie Duke of Dorset ( Master of the Horse), and Lord Lowther, have withdrawn from the Administration of Mr. Canning.— Lord Sidmonth und other Members of the Privy Council have also rent in tlieir resignations. The motive of this secession, though not distinctly announced, is pretty well understood to be the unwillingness of the. seeeders to concur* in Sir, Canning's design of forcing the Ilonian Catholic Question, as a Ministerial measure,— and the n luc- tance with which they see the patronage of the Church committed to one capable of entertaining such a design;— to which some add a surmised disgust felt by the majority of the Cabinet, at the nature of an interest which the Foreign Secretary is understood to have lately cultivated as it would now appear with too much suceefts. Whatever may be the motives of tiie seceders, it is clear, from the sacrifice which they make, that they are honest ones, evenweiie not the characters of such men as Lord Eldon, the Duke of- Wellington, Mr. Peel, and the rest,, a full assurance for the uprightness of any act iu which they coincide. If they have acted, as no doubt they have, for the service of the Protestant Constitution, and for the preservation of the Protestant Church, ( jn- which name we include with C'lidrcli of England men, Protestant and Christian Dissenters of all denomi- nations,) and if, in so* acting, they have also con- sulted to preserve the stream of Royal favour from improper intermixture, they deserve not only the pardon hut the gratitude of their country, even for withdrawing from hi r service. Mr. Canning, of the Cabinet with which be lately acted, retains only Lord Harrowbv,. Mr Robinson, Mr. Huskisaon, and Mr. C. Williams Wynn. u The next question ( l< tays a respectable Evening Paper) that suggests itself, is the chance that Mr. Canning has of being able to form a Ministry ; this lie can scarcely effect without calling in the aid of the Whig party, and then what prospect of conti- nuance will such a Ministry hold out ? Contending with the Ministers wlio have retired— contending • with the powerful interests ofthe Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis of Hertford, und many more— contending with the great majority of the House of Lords— with the whole of the church— with the whole of the landed interest— Tv, 111 great part of the manufacturing interest— and with the majority of the nation, whom Mr. Canning confessed, a few weeks ago, to be adverse to the Question which is to be the bond of union of his new Cabinet— what prospect of long, life do even the brilliant talents of Mr. Canning otfer t: e liis Administration ? It has been already hinted, indeed, that the Right Hon. Gentleman anticipates . & defeat in the House of Lords ; and that he has taken his present course as the easiest, and, at the same time, most honourable, way of terminating liis political existence." manufactures. It is pretty nearly the same with the Netherlands. " Our Dutch and Flemish Allies afe just'as hostile fo the free" introduction of British Atariirfacfures as fhe Cabinet of fhe Tuilleries itself! Ttiey equally set their face against a Free Tradeexcept, indeed, that some articles of cotton, cutlery, and woollens, ' are admitted into Holland upon a very high rate of duty. " The northern kingdoms of Eurd'pe' have behaved pretty nearly in the same spirit of liberality, and have" held Mr. Huskisson's system in the highest derision and contempt, if we except Prussia, and the Baltic Provinces and Minor Stafes. Prussia hasj indeed, concurred with- us in a system wiiich could not be otherwise than beneficial to her; but the Court of St. Petersbnrgfi has rejected every other commercial treaty but that which was origin- ally contracted iu the reign ofthe Emperor Paul. " If we remember rightly, all our printed cotton articles are prohibited in Russia, and our woollen cloths are subject to so high a duty, that our trade with that country is scarcely more in amount than that which we carry ou with Turkey and Egypt. In a word, all through Europe, Mr. Huskissoti's system has met with nothing like reciprocity. It has been considered as merely speculative and- theoretical, and no one country has ventured to give it a trial but ourselves. Its effects upon Eng- d have been most severely felt. It has deluged our markets with the goods of foreign manufacturers, and has produced great impoverishment and ruin amongst our own worlsuien. It has more particu- I'. riy injured us in our shipping interest, a branch of trade which, above all others, merited protection. How unpopular this system has become, every man of common discernment can perceive, and we. trust that the present Session of Parliament will either entirely put ail end to it, or, ut '. east,, greatly modify it." tion in this respect, lie lost no time ill appointing the Duke of Clarence lo the office of tonl High Admiral of England, ( which has been held in Commission ever since the time of James Duke of York, afterwards James lite Second,) to lie assisted by a Council, com- posed of the present Junior Lords of the Admiralty, Mr. Croker continuing In perform the important duties of Chief Secretary. His Royal Highness of Clarence will thus be placed, with regard to the Navy, in the same position in which the Duke of York stood in respect to the Armv ; hut, as in the case of the late Commander- in- Chief, his Royal Highness will not have a seat in tlie Cabinet. Such was the first result nf the truly regal and constitutional determination of his Majesty ; and it lias heen the first step, because fhe resistance of Lord Melville to the wishes of the King was the most unexpected, and therefore more displeasing ifinn that of any other of the seceding Ministers. Vfitli this single exception, the door to reconciliation continued for some days completely open ; nor has it even yet heen finally closed. Mr. Canning is still anxious to secure life co- operation of his Colleagues, whose vii'lutf he fully knows how to appreciate. The principles of the Government, as we have already said, are to undergo no change. Surely, then, it is not loo much to hope that a re- union so important to the interests and so dear to the wishes of the country, may yet, in part at least, be accoin. plislied.— We are rejoiced lo say, that some steps tending to this desired end have been already taken. Lord Bexley has in fact already withdrawn liis re- signation ; and some indications of a similar dis- position have been manifested hy Earl Bathurst. We sincerely hope lhat this disposition will extend further, aud that it will be promptly shewn, lest it should come too late. If 110 such re. union should take place, the Administration will be constituted as follows : First Lord of ihe Treasury and ? M Canning. Chancellor of Ihe Exchequer $ Lord Chancellor ( with a Peerage) Sir J. Copley. Lord High Admiral Duke ( if Clarence. Secretary of State for Foreign ? Lord Gronvi„ A flairs 1 LON DON— SA T U R D A Y. His Majesty has revived the ancient, office of Ldrd High Admiral, in the person of the Duke of Clarence; and it is understood that fhe present Board of Admiralty ( witli the exception of Viscount Melville, who has resigned) will continue their services, as the Council of His Royal Highness. it appears that the Duke of Wellington retires from the Command of the Army as well as from the Board Of Ordnance. The Lord Chancellor, Mr. Canning, and Lord Bex Icy, had audiences yesterday of the King, at his Palace in St. James's. it is said that the Lord Chancellor will sit for a month longer to dispose of those cases in Chancery which have been fully argued, and only remain for judgment.

Sir John Copley, the Master of the Rolls, has accepted the Seals a* Lord Chancellor. — The office of Master of the Ordnance has been offered to the Marquis of Anglesea ; but we believe his Lord ship has uot yet signified his acceptance of it, though there can be little doubt, we apprehend, of his doing so. No definitive arrangement has been made respecting the Commander- in- Chief — In addition to the resignations which we have already announced, we have to add that of the Marquis of Londonderry, as one of the Lords of His Majesty's Bed- chamber."— Courier. Another Journal says—" That the formation of the new Cabinet should have been a subject of much discussion out. of doors, and perhaps within, cannot excite surprise, since it has happened at a time particularly marked by a strong difference of opinion on great subjects, and that not among leading parties only. In many former cases, the question lay wholly between a war party and a peace party; between Whigs and Tories. The divisions of opinion now cut between the greater distinctions, and produce numerous sections, divided or pared from the greater portions. Men of the » ame general political views contest with each other on the Catholic Claims, on the Corn Laws, on Free Trade, and other subjects; and the difficulties of forming an Administration, or at least of the number of obstacles to it, must be increased in consequence. 44 If-. a Whig Ministry were to be formed, the javttcr would soon be settled ; but this is not in contemplation. Nobody calls for this either in Parliament or in the Country. The Whigs them- selves have no hope, which shews lhat, as a ruling Party, they have given up the ghost. But the secession ofthe Members of the Cabinet, which we have mentioned, must indeed increase the difficulties of Mr; Canning in forming an Administration to his mind; and doubts are already freely expressed, that no Cabinet which he can make, if he means consistently to conduct his Administration on Tory principles, can last six months. There is talent, no question, splendid and • unrivalled talent, in the Kight Hon. Gentleman, which no Member in the House has yet surpassed ; but we very much doubt, if Mr. Canning will carry the sense of the Country With him. On the Catholic Question we are con- fident he will not,— and he will be too prudent, while the King remains in his present sentiments, to make this a Cabinet Question, or the sine qua r'on of his administration. On the Free Trade system toe, there is an evident change against him in the minds of sober reflecting men; - and we shall indeed regret to find that, in all probability; no relaxation w ill now be made in the reciprocity system, as it is termed. How much longer audio what greater lengths the generosity of the British character is to be tried, we know not; but this we know, that hitherto, in the first place, the French have been particularly assisted in their commerce by the late Acts passed for extending the principle of Free Trade. They have had numerous articles declared to be free, on the payment of small duties, which were before sternly prohibited; the duty ou their wines has been reduced one- third, and their silk manufacture has been favoured in a more especial degree. But have the French Government, on their pt. i t, relaxed any one branch of their com- mercial or navigation system ? Certainly nol ; but on the contrary, they have braced it up more tightly thai* ever Our woollens, iron, hardware, and cutlery of all sorts, are absolutely prohibited in the French dominions.— English machinery, beer, coals, aud some other minor articles of exportation, . ere admitted under high duties; but, in every other respect, France presents a frontier barrleadoed by revenue officers, and presenting an almost impreg- nable line and iron defence agaiust our trade aud Th#'$ ollowing- has been circulated as an accurate history of the late revolution in the Cabinet: — " On Wednesday last, Mr. Canning received the final and decided commands of his Majesty to form an Administration, of w hich he was of course to be at the head. The principle that the Catholic Question should be left open, was distinctly and unreservedly recog- nized in all the conferences and communications which preceded the appointment of Mr. Canning. It, is THE Mil n c IP L ft up Oi i which the Government is now to be constituted, whoever may be the individuals com- posing it. i% Mr. Canning, after having received the full and complete authority of the Sovereign, immediately wrote a letter to each of his Colleagues to apprize them ofthat fact, and lo express his anxious wish that the public service of the country might still continue to enjoy the important advantages which it had so long derived from their talents, experience, and zeal .— The first answer to this communication which Mr. Canning received was from Lord. Hex ley, aud it expressed the direct adhesion of that Noble" Lord to the new Ad- ministration. The reply of the Earl of Wcstmmjand came uext, stating his inability to give a decided answer to the proposal, until he was informed who was to be ( he Prune Minister. This naturally excited some surprise, which was considerably increased when the replies of the Duke of Wellington, of the Earl of Eldon, of Earl Bathurst, of Lord Melville, and of Mr. Peel, arrived in rapid succession, each expressing the same want of information, and nearly in the same tertns. Mr. Canning, tin this, immediately wrote again to each of the above distinguished persons, informing them that the King. had been graciously, pleased to ap- point him to the situation of First ( Minister of the Crown, and excusing the omission iii his first letter on i the ground, that he had imagined the information to have been iu effect conveyed by tbe contents of that letter in a manner which could scarcely be misunder- stood. To this ' communication the general reply was — on expression of apprehension that iu tlieadmiuis tration of affairs, questions would arise which might produce in a Cabinet constituted as was proposed, collisions painful to the feelings of the individuals im- mediately concerned, and likely to be injurious to the public service; and announcing upon this ground an intention to resign. Mr. Peel's reply differed from those of his Colleagues, inasmuch as. he confined him- self to the simple announcement of his intention to re- tire from office, lie, however, soon after waited per- sonally on Mr. Canning, to whom he expressed feelings of unabated respect and attachment, and in whose mind be fully succeeded in removing any suspicion that personal dislike towards himself formed any part of the motives by which he, individually, was actuated. Lord Bexley's final reply was also of eouise distinguished from the Other*. He had acceded in the first instance, si's we have already stated, to the pro- posed'arrangement. He now ascribed the change of " his intentions, to the determination adopted by so important and numerous a body of the friends vvith whom he. had always acted. The occurrences we have thus described took place on Wednesday— and on the following day, the seven distinguished Persons, as is already known, sent in their formal resignations to his Majesty. < k Not withstanding these highly important secessions from llie service of the" Slate, no doubt whatever entertained in the best informed political circles, of Mr. Canning's success ill forming ah Administration fully competent to the able discharge of all official duly, and in all respects well entitled to the confidence of the Sovereign and the country. The turn which affairs have taken has had the effect of identifying in the mind of the highest Personage in the Stale the success of Mr. Canning with the maintenance and preservation of that Royal prerogative, which is justly held to be indispensable to the honour and dignity of the British Crown . The decisive language of offend, ed Majesty is that lie will firmly abide by liis deter- mination, formed as if has been upon the maturest consideration, in regard to the choice of his Prime Minister - t and as a proof ofthe firuiuess of his resoiu- and Colonial Department ( with \ . a Peerage) j Secretary of State for the Home > „ llusUsson> Department > Lord Privy Seal Ld .

The Duke of Cambridge' is to he invited' to'undertake this laborious and honourable charge. ( t It wiil be perceived al once,, from fbe very ample communication we are thus early enabled to make, lhat Mr. CantiHigis performing with no sluggish hand the task, painful as it has heen rendered, which his Sovereign has entrusted to him'. If additional strength to the Administration should lie found necessary, il is understood that a certain Noble Lord, aud one or two ol hers of the most able and respectable Members of the Opposition, nre ready to lend their aid to the Govern- ment, although founded upon the principles We have stated. No surh necessity,, however, is expected to arise, " As might have been expeeteif, some of the princi- pal Officers of the Household' have followed the ex- ample of the seceding' Members of the Cabinet.— The Marquis of Londonderry has resigned his office as a Lord ofthe Bedchamber; the Dnke of Dorset, as Master of the Horse; the Dnke of Montrose, as Lord Chamberlain ; an\ l the Marquis of Graham, as Vice Chamberlain." Thus much has been circulated by Mr. Canning's friends and dependants. Tlie following statements or surmises do. not rest upon testimony so authentic — though upon testimony fully as respectable. The Whigs, it is said, "' are' not to take office;" ( we beg to add) i" n the first instance, " but they are to give their zealous support to Mr. Canning's administration." Somewhat inconsistently with this last intimation, it is added, that the Duke of Devonshire is to be the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; Mr. Abercrotnby, Chief Secretary; and Mr. Plunk ett, Lord Chancellor in that kingdom. We are sorry to hear that fhefe exists, on the part of some of tbe independent Members of the House of Peers, who are looked to with respect by the country, an objection to take part in the Ad- ministration which is to be formed. The obstacle is, we believe, that Catholic Emancipation is not to be made a Cabinet measure. Entertaining their opinions ( in which we concur with them) as to the paramount importance of this among all practical questions of domestic policy, their conduct will be, no doubt, guided by their view of the course most likely to ensure the success of this measure. All that is wanted, we are persuaded, is that the question shall be allowed to have fair play — that the influence of reason shall be allowed to operate for it, and that the influence of the crown shall not be exerted against it. But if the Marquis of Lansdown and his friends should not feel them- selves justified in taking any step which may even sgem to compromise the measure, they will certainly not aid the views of those who are most opposed to tliem on that and every other question.— Globe. Some accounts say, that Mr. Huskisson is to be Chancellor of the l^ xchequer ; others, that he is to be Home Secretary: in either case he is to be succeeded by Mr. Charles Grant as President of the Board of Trade. The Marquis Wellesley, it is said, is to be President of the Council; but the President, it is to be remembered, has not resigned. One Morning Journal intimates that the Earl of Carlisle is to be Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. This, however, is not likely to take place until some provision shall hare been made for the Marquis Wellesley. It is reported that the Attorney- General and the Solicitor- General, following the example of the Lord Chancellor, have retired from office. It is also stated, that Lord Manners ( the Lord Chancellor of Ireland), and Mr. Goulburn ( the Secretary for Ireland), have retired. It is also said that Mr. Dawson has resigned the Under- Secretaryship at the Home Office. The Marquis of Hertford, it is 6aid, is to be raised to a Dukedom, and will accept an appoint- ment in the Household. As > » as- the case with a well known Administra- tion some years ago, the Papers that latid the proposed Ministerial arrangements assume that " all the talents" are possessed by Mr. Canning and his friends.— A short time will probably solve all doubts upon the subject. This is a holiday at the Slock Exchange; but in the few private bargains that were effected in Consols, the Market has shewn rather a tendency to rise than otherwise, and the extreme variation has been between 82| aud 83 for the Money account.

STRAYED, to ONSLOW, in January ^ last, a Brown and White ipotted POINTER DOG.— The Owner mav have hjm restored, by 6pply~ ing to THE BUTTER at Onslow, and paying Expenses., With respect to new appointments, the following is what we have collected from the best- informed sources. The Duke of Cambridge has been writ, ten to on the subject of the appointment of Com- mander in Chief, and nothing will be determined upou until the arrival of dispatches from him, unless, perhaps, the Marquess of AngMesea may be placed in the temporary command of the Army.— Lord William Bentinck to be Master of the Ord- nance..-- Earl of Carlisle to be Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with Lord F. L. Cower as his Secretary.— The Attorney- Genera! to be Master of the Rolls.— Morning Chronicle, Tuesday, April 17. The following promotions to Dukedoms are shortly expected to take place: — the Earl of Darlington to be Duke of Cleveland. The Mar- quess of Stafford, the Marquess of Hertford, and the Marquess of Conyngham, to be Dukes : the titles not yet annouueed.— Earl Powis is to obtain a Blue Ribbon.— Morning Chronicle. The East Retford Election is declared void. BARBAROUS ASSAULT.— Thomas Allen, a private on furlough, belonging to oue of the East India Company^ regiments, on his return from Liverpool to Chatham, was, on Thursday morning, stopped by three men on the road crossing that part of Cannock Chase which lies immediately beyond the village of Milford, near Stafford. The ruffians robbed him of his watch, fifteen shillings in money, and a gold ring, to obtain which they had the brutality actually to cut off with a knife the poor fellow's finger ! They were alarmed by two gentlemen coming up, or ther is no knowing to what length their barbarity might have gone. At the time they attacked him, the soldier was partaking of a temperate meal of bread and cheese by the road side. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO MUR- DER.— Friday morning, about half- past eleven o'clock, a man- servant of Mr. Davison, ofthe Brand, near Market Drayton, travelling on horseback, was stopped by three men on the Whitmore road, about three miles from Newcastle. They robbed him of 15s and endeavoured to cut his throat, but as he pressed his chin downwards, the cut intended for his throat passed across the lower part of his face Two of the men appeared about five feet five inches high and were dressed in black velveteen coats, made like keepers' coats, black waistcoats, and blue trowsers. The other about five feet seven, and had on a brown velveteen jacket.. The men seemed about 23 years of age. The boldness and cruelty displayed in this outrage excited the indignation of the persons in the neighbourhood, who commenced a very vigorous pursuit immediately. We hope, ere this is read, the villains will have been secured. Mr. ROGERS, in the P'nytologicalpart of his Lec- ture, the other evening, stated the important and curious circumstance, that if seeds are immersed for a short period in highly- diluted Chlorine, the vegetation is not only greatly accelerated, hut the plants are much stronger aud much more productive. Perhaps, how- ever, we had better give this fact in the learned Lecturer's own words. He remarkedIn the ani- mal body, when accident or disease may have happened to occasion structural derangement, there is often a partial decomposition of the part affected ; and the elements then liberated are immediately sub- jected lo a new play of affinities, and modified by the unknown creative process into other forms of life, namely, parasitic animalculce ; and these, it is appre- hended, often lay the foundation of chronic complaints. So, in the economy of Plants, when local and imperfect decomposition takes place, the consequence is a developement of new life, in parasitic vegetation, giving rise to the disease called Mildew, & c. Now it is a fact which I venture to offer on the faith of numerous experiments, that Chlorine, properly diluted, not only effectually prevents that peculiar state of decomposition in the substance ofa Plant, but affords a stimulus which materially shortens the period of germination, and every way accelerates the vegeta- tive process.— My limits here will not admit of details ; I must therefore content myself with stating this important fact generally, but shall be happy to furnish any gentleman with the particular results of my experiments." LAST WEEK. Soajn malt, o MR. ROGERS, F. S. A. And Member of the Philosophical Societies of London and Norwich, AS the Honour to announce his Inten- tion of delivering, every Evening in lh » present Week ( Saturday excepted), a Series of Lectu res'on in which, by n new and perspicuous Mode of Treat* ment, he pledges himself to impart to any Person who-- has never before thought on the Subject, nn accurat ® Idea of the general Laws and Construction of tb* Universe.

DENBIGHSHIRE GREAT SESSIONS.-—- At this Session an action was brought, 4< Doe, on the demise of Hart and another r. W\ nne." The real parties in the case are understood to be Mr. Blair and Mr. Wynne, between w 1' iortVan action was tried at the last Shrewsbury Summer Assizes, in which Mr. Wynne, who was then the plaintiff, obtained a verdict. The present, action is of tbe same nature, only different in form, it being an action of ejectment, brought by the lessors of the phtiiitiff, to try t- he right of the defendant, Charles Wyni, ie Griffiths Wynne, Esq. to a certain very small piece of common, claimed by him as Lord of the Manor,— The Special Jury sworn to try the cause took a view of the premises on Friday se'nnight, and the. cause was fixed for trial at nine o'clock on the Monday morning, hut in consequence of the absence of a material witness, who was to produce some office copies of documents from several record offices in London, and who was subpoenaed to attend York Assizes, which were not then concluded, Mr. Jervis ( for the plaintiff) moved the Court that the cause be allowed to stand over for an hour, in hopes that he would arrive, which was granted. — On the re- opening of the Court, Mr. Jervis moved ( on affidavit) that the cause should either be tried at Mold or postponed to the next Sessions; and after some arguments ad- duced by tbe Counsel on both sides, the Court sug- gested the propriety of withdrawing the record as the more regular mode of procedure, w hich was acceded to, the plaintiff paying the costs of the day.

The. second: division is under Lieut. Foster, R. N. an officer of great scientific. aMainmeULs,' and who acted as astronomer iu the las' expedition with Captain Parry ; it is. his intention, if possible, to sail round Spitzbergen. It having been correctly ascertained to bean island, he will lay down the exadt portions of the different bearings, and make, many astronomical observations and experiments on mag- netism— the Board of Longitude having furnished the expedition with many excellent and curious instru- ments for those purposes. This adventure far exceeds in boldness any thing whieh Captain Parry has yet undertaken. It is calculated that he- will lutve to travel Ij. tlle less than 2000 miles, provided he and his com- panions reach the Pole, carrying with them the whole of their provisions and necessaries. Should the vessel be able to penetrate to 80 degrees, it would be 600 miles iu a strait line to the Pole, which it is not proba- ble they could pursue, as they must be constantly making detours,- to avoid mountains of ice, or perhaps land. They are, however, all most sanguine of success, aud expect to return to England in November next.— Literary G. qzette., Mr. Canning ,— We tannot ( says the Liverpool Albion) at a period when Mr, Canning is in tbe crisis of his fame, resist the temptation to transcribe a few sentences from a speech which be delivered, iu Liverpool, during the election of 1816; sentences which seem to us to have a peculiar interest at the present moment:—" Gentlemen, there is yet a heavier charge than either of those which I have staled to you. It is, gentlemen, that I am an ad- venturer. To the charge, as I understand it, I am willing to plead guilty. As a representative of the people, ! am one of the people ; and I present myself to those who choose me only with the claims of character, ( be they what tiny may,) unaccredited by patrician patronage or party, recommendation. Nor is it in this free country, where, in . every walk of life, the road of honourable success is open to every indivi- dual,— I am sure it is not in this place,- r- that 1 shall be expected to apologize for so presenting myself to your choice. I k, uow there is a political creed, which assigns to a certain combination of great families a right to dictate to the sovereign and to influence the people; and that this doctrine of hereditary aptitude for administration is, singularly enough, most preva- lent among those who find nothing more laughable than Ihe principle of legitimacy in the crown. To this theory I have never subscribed. If to depend directly upon the people, as their: representative in Parliament ; if, as a" servant of the crown, to lean on no other support than lhat of public confidence,—- if lhat be to be an adventurer, 1 plead: guilty lo the charge, and 1 would not exchange that situation, to whatever taunts it may expose me, for all the ad vantages which might be derived from an ancestry of a hundred generations." MONMOUTH ASRIZES.— VVatkins, the principal of the four persons convicted of brutallymal- treating a poor harmless old woman, because they were ignorant enough to believe her a witch ! ( see 4- Z/ i - pageJ, was sentenced to be imprisoned six months.— His accom plices were sentenced, to be . imprisoned three months each, — On Wednesday last, Sarah Jones, found guilty of the murder of her new- born illegitimate child, was executed at Monmouth. She was 26 years of age, and lived with her father and mother, at a place called Pye- Corner, in the- parish of Bassalleg; when she ivas seduced by John Flook ( charged as an accom- plice. in the " murder)," winy subsequently married another woman ; and it was in revenge for this base conduct, this deluded creature confessed, that she first determined to murder his infant! ! !— She accomplished her diabolical purpose by cutting the throat of the innocent with a penknife immediately after its birth; and she communicated the accomplishment of this bloody deed the same day to her seducer, whose clan- destine attempt to burv the body, at the instigation of his victim, subsequently led to; a discovery of, the murder. After her trial, she made the most solemn avowal, that her father was not even aware of her situation, and that her mother believed the infant to ha: ve been sttlj- born. During her last. moments, this wretched young woman conducted herself with perfect resignation, and suffered the aw ful sentence of the law with great firmness. YORK ASSISES, WEDNESDAY.—- The Merchants Company of York v. Harwoorl. — This was au actio brought to prevent the defendant from selling certain articles of foreign produce iu the city of York, without a license from the Merchants' Company, or being a member of that body — The Merchants' Company are a guiId or chartered body, whose oriyio is too old to be authenticated, but is traced by official records to the reign of King Stephen. The authority under which they claimed the exclusive right of permitting articles of foreign produce to . be sold in York, is derived from a charter, granted 10 them in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, by virtue of which they have hitherto succeeded in obtaining from druggists, mer cers, apothecaries, grocers, and others, certain fines, generally £ 25, before such persons were allowed to expose their respective commodities for sale in this city. Such fines are their principal souree'of emolu- ment, and the present action almost involves their existence as a body. The defendant is a druggist, and has hitherto resisted their demand for a fine.— Mr. Scarlett, in stating the Case, gave a history of the Corporation, which he said was the oldest in England, and possessed the right tliey now claimed almost from time immemorial, which he w- as ready to show by evidence. A variety of records were put in and read ; and when the Charter of Queen Elizabeth was put in and read, Mr. Justice Bayley said lie thought the practice and claims ofthe Corporation did not corre- spond with the conditions of the Charter, and he would therefore nonsuit the plaintiffs, which was accordingly done. SALMON FISHERIES.— By the Bill brought into the House of Commons, it is proposed that the annual close time shall be the same over all the united kingdom. The commencement and termina tion to be afterwards fixed in the Committee weekly close time from Saturday evening to Monday morning. Fishing by stake nets to be permitted iu all rivers and estuaries under regulations, as to leaving open ihe channel* and as to the materials and form of the nets ; also on the shores of the sea Water bailiffs to be appointed in every district with various powers, to be paid by the proprietors of. fisheries within it. At the Old Bailey, on Tuesday, Lord Chief Justice Abbott refused to allow expenses to a prosecutor whose goods had been stolen from his shop door where they were exposed to sale. The prisoner who was convicted, was an old infirm man state of the utmost, destitution. On the prosecutor applying to be allowed his expenses* the - Lord Chief Justice said—-" No; I shall allow no expenses in such a case as this.. I have already refused several similar applications, aud I shall continue to refuse them.; for I am determined that thccounty shall not be charged with the expenses of protectin the goods of a man who himself leaves them unprotected." It is thought that the consumption of Cotton is present greater than at any former period. The deliveries to the trade, from the port of Liverpool alone, since the beginning ofthe year, have averaged 11,400 bags, of heavy weights, per week, Of the quantity consumed, about 8,000 bags per week are. estimated to be American, which is more than the average import of this description for the last five years, including two. of the heaviest years1, imports that were ever known. IMPUDENT IMPOSTOR.— An Irishman, with one child, apparently in a deplorable state, applied on Saturday at Bristol Hospital for immediate relief to save him from starving, and to be passed to his own country. As he appeared to be ill, he was sent to the medical ward, when on searching his person there were found two fiye- pound notes, three sovereigns, three half- sovereigns, eight shillings, and u silver watch !!! At the Cornwall Assizes, actions were brought by the Earl of Darlington, against 14 of his tenants, who had . opposed his interests in the borough of which his Lordship is the patron.— The nobla suitor had a verdict in the first case, which deter- mined" the others. Two ships are now lying at Woolwich for the purpose of conveying female convicts to Nesy South Wales aud Van Bieman's land. The Princess Charlotte is bound to the former, and the P M siau" to the latter place. The total number of women that will be sent awav will be nearly 200 ; upward* of eighty have been already removed from jNewguia' on board the above shins. A man of the name of Nightingale, b°, Keyed to. be the main contriver of the different mail aud coach robberies, is at length in custody, on a charge of' abstracting and afterwards destroying the Neapoli- tan bags from the Dover coach. He underwent a fourth examination on Friday at Bow- street, a was remanded till Thursday, to give the prosecutor an opportunity of completing the evidence already produced against biur. SPRING GUNS.— The bill in progress in the House of Lords, against the use of spring- guns in other grounds than gardens or orchards, enacts—" That from and after the passing of this act, if any person shall set or place, or cause to be set or placed, within any wood, wood- ground, plantation, or un- derwoods .. dwy spring gun, malti- trap, or. other engine, calcaU'sd to destroy humau life, or inflict grievous bodily harm,- with the intent that the same may destroy or inflict grievous bodily harm upon a trespasser, or other person, unwittingly coming in contact therewith, the person so F^ ttiny or placing, or causing, to be so. set or placed, sucb gun, trap, or engine as aforesaid, shall be guilty of a nTiSiieiiietuiour.',' 1 , ; Died, on Thursday last, Matthias Merrison, Esq. of Bungay.

The Archbishop of Canterbury'' s Bill. In the bill brought in by ( he Archbishop of Canterbury ( in consequence of the decision of the House of Lords in the appeal Lord Sondes v. Fletcher, by which bonds given to secure the resignation of church livings are declared illegal,) " for the relief of certain spiritual persons, and patron ® of ecclesiastical preferments, from certain penalties,- and rendering valid certain bonds, cove- nants, or other assurances for the resignation of Ecclesiastical preferments," there are clauses to' enact, 1. That no presentation to a benefice, made before 1827, shall be void on account of any agreement to resign when another person, or one' of two persons, specially named, shall become qualified to take the same. 2. That persons making any such agreement, not to be subject to any penalty on account thereof. 3. That agreements made before y 1827, be> valid and effectual m law. 4.

WlL L [ A M D E A LB I NI. The following account of tbeoiigin of the alias! given to the eldest son of William de Albini, better known to the reader of history by his appellative of William with the Strong Hand," is derived from Dugdale. A very interesting poem, or romance of I'hivalry, might, we conceive, be founded upon this striking anecdote.*—' William de Albini' came over to England with William the Conqueror, and held large possessions, by knight's service, in Norfolk. His son is represented lo have been a man of gieat personal prowess, and extraordinary agiiily and strength of body. u ll happened that ihe Queen of France, being then a widow, aud a very beautiful woman, became much iu love with a knight in thai country who was a comely person, and ill the flower of his youth: aud because she thought that no man excelled him in valour, she caused a tournament to be proclaimed throughout her dominions, promising to reward those who should exercise themselves therein according to their respective merits; and concluding, that if the person whom she so well affected should act his part better than others in those military exercises, she might marry him without any dishonour to herself. Hereupon, divers gallant men, from foreign parts, hasted to Paris; and among others,, came this our William < le Albini, bravely accoutred; who in the tournament excelled all others— overcoming many, and wounding oue mortally with his lance; which be- ing observed by the Queen, she became exceedingly enamoured of him, and forthwith invited him lo a costly banquet; ond afterwards bestowing certain jewels upon him, offered him marriage J but having plighted his troth to the Queen of England, then a widow, he refused her. Whereat she grew so dis- contented, lhat she consulted with her maids bow she might take away his life: and, in pursuance of that design, enticed him into a garden, where there was ti secret cave, and in. it a liun, into which she descended by divers steps^ under colour of shewing him the beast. And when she lold him of its fierceness^ he said it was a womanish and not manly quality lo be afraid thereof; but having liiin there, by the advantage of a folding door, she thrust him in to the lion. B' iug, therefore, tn this danger, he rolled . his mantle about his arm ; aud putting, his baud into the mouth of the beaut, pulled out his tongue by the root ! Which done, he followed Ihe Queen to her palace, and gave it to one of the maids to present to her. Returning,' therefore, into England, with the fame of this glorious exploit, he was forthwith advanced lu> the earldom of Arundel, and, for his- arms, the lion given him. Nor was it long after, that the Queen of England accepted him for her husband, whose name was Adoliza ( or Alice)* widow to King Heurv I. and daughter to Godfrey, Duke of Lorrain ; which Adeliza had the castle of Arundel, and county, a dowry, fro,? s thai King: ami iu the beginning of King Henry thf; Second's tune,, he not only obtained the castle aud honour of Ai nudel to himself and his heirs, but also a confirmation of the earldom of Sussex, granted to him by the third penny of the pleas of that county 5 which, in ancient limes, was the usual way of investing suc, h great men with the possession of any earldomv after those ceremonies of girding with the sword, and putting on the robes were performed: which havo ever, till of late, been thought essential to their eves-, lion."

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. Sin, Your correspondent", Mr. Jones, says lie still clings fo his fkst attempt to support the assertions of Dr. Milner. If 1 am to form an opinion fro in what he has published in your last Journal, I must, compare his present situation to that of a drowning man, who, according to the well- known adage, would cling to, or grasp at" a straw, in the moment of distress: for, certainty, if Mr Jones can find evidence to warrant tbe supposition as to Sir J. C. Hippisley's convention, in the extract he has last quoted, I may say of him, to use his own words, I do not envy him his credulity. For myself, and 1 « till am not in the least afraid of again appealing to the public on the point, I abide by the hitherto uncontradicted testimony of Sir J. S. Hippisley, who had the means of ascertaining the fact — ami he says his Father 4k died firm and unshaken in the Pro- testant belief. 1' Mr. Jones says, there is a want of evidence as to Bishop Hallifax. But I say there is not : we have the testimony of his son ; and, what is more, we have his own recorded testimony, in a pamphlet published a few weeks before his death, entitled 4 An Apology for the Liturgy and Clergy of the Church of England ;' which he speaks of Popery in a language that most enforce an utter disbelief of the assertions of Dr. Milner. Mr. Jones again reverts to the extract stated by a Bristol writer to have appeared in an edition of Dr. Milner's 1 End of Controversy.' The remarks in my first letter did not blink this question ; and Mr. Jones's have not cleared it up. To shew what were the senti. incuts of Dr. Milner, and that, there were remarkable variations in the edit ions of his work, 1 adduced certain extracts. These Mr. Jones has cautiously avoided, by saying they are irrelevant. If he cannot shew that they are fabrications,, the veracity and the charity of Dr." Milner and his colleagues will he duly appreciated I am, Sir, your's, & c. April Uth, 1827. CASTIGATOR ARCHERY. " Of all nations, the English were the most cele- brated for Archery. The Anglo- Saxons and Danes were acquainted with the use of the bow from the earliest times ; but they used it only in the chase, up to the period of their invading England. The Nor- mans made use of ihe how as a military weapon ; and ai the battle of Hastings, Harold and his brothers were phot by the how, which determined the fate of England. The u? e of the how in the middle ages was an indis- pensable part of education. Chaucer says in praise of Sir To pas, " He was a good Arc. be, re." Archery was also recommended as a most healthy exercise. The ladies practised it with great strength and adroit- ness. As early as about the year 1210, officers were employed to travel the country and examine into the condition of the bows and arrows which every free man was compelled by law to keep in his house, ready for immediate use. Edward 111. reproved the Sheriff of London for suffering the citizens to neglect their practice at the long- bow : and Edward IY. issued an ordinance compelling every Englishman and Irishman resident in England, to keep by him a bow of his own height*, and every township was to erect butts, at which the people were to shoot every feast day, under the penally of one halfpenny for each omission, lu the sixteenth century, heavy complaints were made upon the neglect to practise the Jong- bow. Roger Ascbam, in his Toxophilus, gives a very minute description of the equipment of an archer in the days of Queen Elizabeth. Wc find that hows were made of Brazil elm, ash, nnd olher woods; but i he most esteemed long- bows were always made of foreign yew. The strings were made of flax, hemp, or silk. The arrows were made of ash for war, or of asp for sport. The feathers were always of a grey goose. So parti- cular were good archers in this respect, that we find disputes whether Ihe right or left wing was the best for the feathers ; and it was the second feather of the wing was the best for some purposes, and the pinion for others. But we are informed that Robin Hood bad a hundred bows and a hundred sheaves of good arrows— 44 an elle long, adorned with peacock's fea- thers, and bound al the notching with white silk." The English arrows had either forked heads, broad beads, or round pointed bends resembling a bodkin. Great attention was paid to the grace of attitude. In the reign of Elizabeth there was a controversy w he her ihe right hand in drawing the bow- string, should be drawn to the right breast, as of yore, or to the right car, according to the modern fashion. The length of ihe arrows used at Aziuconrt, were a 44 fulle yarde Jonge," according to all our chroniclers. We hear also of arrows a cloth yard long,, and even as long as nnelL When Robin Hood proposed a shooting match with the King, they set up two wands, and shot at 50 paces, or 150 feet. Rubin's two first shots clove the twig or wand; but in the third shot, he missed his snaik, by 44 three fyngers and more," and foifcited his arrow to the King. We find Robin Hood and his companions afterwards shooting at 44 hasell roddes," al 400 yards; and their success infinitely surpasses any thing we ever read of Indian bow- men, and as in- finitely surpasses modern rifle shooting, When the Society of London Archers had their archery- ground behind Bedford- square, about thirty years ago, the Turkish Ambassador once paid them a friendly visit. He expressed his surprise, at the smallncss of their shooting- ground, and declared it totally insufficient for a long shot. He therefore went into an adjoining field, and shot his arrow, which fell more than 480 yards, or 1440 feet, from where he stood. His bow was shorter than the English bow. Carew tells us, in ihe reign of Elizabeth, that the ordinary distance of shooting, with the Cornish archers, was 480 yards, at which distance they would pierce any ordinary coat of mail. The effects of the English long- bow in battle were truly dreadful, far exceeding the destruction pro- duced by any musketry. At the battle of Flodden Field, the Scotch King enraged to see his vast army so shamefully beaten, and to stop the havoc making among his troops, put himself at the head of the flower of his nobility and knighthood, and made a furious charge upon the English line. A body of English archers threw in a volley of arrows among this flower of Scotch chivalry, and, iu an instant', every knight in the front rank was pierced through the breast, and fell off his horse biting the dust in the short agonies of death. The second line of horse was thus obliged to fly, and the victory was complete. This bv far exceeds any disc barge of musketry, or even of rifles, on record in modern battles. At the great battle of Cressy, the dependence of the French King was on his chivalry, and upon a large body of The first question naturally asked respecting Por- tugal is,. what strong impulse and powerful spring of action that can be, which continually incites one- half of that srhair kingdom to be constantly appealing to the fate of aims against the other half, which induces lhem to leave their homes and revenues, and brave ihe condition of exiles, and all the miseries which follow in lhat train?" It appears, that by the laws of. Portugal relative to the right of succession, neither a foreigner, uor a native prince, who is a confirmed absentee, is eligible to the throne. Don Pedro, the present Emperor of Brazil, the son of Don John VI ( the same who left Portugal under the protection of the British fleet, upon the entrance of the French into Lisbon under Junot.) never sat upon the throne of Portugal, and, being a settled absentee, came under this restriction ; having, therefore, no rights for him self, he could not transfer Hiem to his daughter, or prescribe the form of government to a country upon the crown of which he had no claim'. These passed bv, tile next of royal blood was Don Miguel, ( second son of John VI.) but he having committed himself in a diplomatic intrigue, was forced lo fly for protection to the house of Austria. There remained then after the foregoing, agreeably to the opinion of the old nobility and the crown laws of Portugal, no other rightful claimant upon the regency but the Dowager Queen, a most violent opposer of the present regency Now if this short statement be correct, it completely changes the face of political affairs, for it makes the Constitutionalists rebels, and it constitutes the rebels Constitutionalists. Then, again, the strangeness to the Portuguese of any written document which shall have equal force with the will of the reigning func- tionary, which, in that country as well as Spain, has for ayes amongst the mass of the people been . consi- dered paramount. We will only suppose, for a moment, the introduction into this country of a Con- stitution purely democratic, expunging al once two of the present Constitutional branches. Such an inno- vation here could not produce a greater shock than the bringing in a Constitution at all has done there. But further than this, it is said to he perfectly well ascertained lhat there was an understanding between Don John VI. and Don Pedro, upon the acceptance by the•<' latter, of the crown of the Brazils, that Don Miguel, his younger " brother, should fill the throne of Portugal ; but au altercation having taken place between the old king and his son, the latter changed his 73iind.-—\ t is also confidently affirmed, that at the marriage which was entered into between Leopold ine, the favourite daughter- of the Emperor of Austria, ( lately deceased,) and Don Pedro, a secret treaty was signed, which stipulated that Don Miguel should succeed it) the throne of Portugal, and in lhat case was promised in marriage, Marie Anne, youngest daughter of the Emperor of Austria, under the agreed relinquishment on the part of Don Pedro of that crown. Assuming the foregoing relation to be cor- rect, a question immediately arises as to what part the Emperor of Austria will hereafter think proper to take, in regard to the pretensions of Don Miguel— after a decent time shall have elapsed subsequent to the decease of his favourite daughter, on whose account, it is asserted, he forbore, during her life- time, to interfere with the dictation of Don Pedro respecting the affairs of Portugal? — Don Miguel, it is understood, is now within ihe jurisdiction of the Austrian Court. Touching lhe deliberate policy of Spain ( however broken in upon by temporary exi- gency), the best evidence perhaps is to be found in the following authentic document furnished officially from Madrid:— Statement of the present Spanish Forces paid and provi- sioned by the Government in four Provinces.

It is the very heart of the 44 season" now! and the furnished lodgings, at six guineas a week, are all 44 let," and Ihe furnished houses, at twenty guineas; and the marehand. es. des modes are putting on their best looks, and unpapcring their best frills; and ihe lacqueys nod to each olher as they whirl behind the carriages through Bond- street, and want kicking twice a day; and Mr. Ebers is joyful; and the hotel- keepers are as blithe as my landlady at Fal- mouth used lo be ten years ago—'• awl would he," she said, 44 while the war lasted, and the wind set in shore;"— and all, in short, is joy and ebulliency. Distress! look al the new street which joins the Regent's park to St. James's; and the new town, which now joins ihe Regent- street to Hampstcad.— Does ibis look much like distress? Look at the shops— alas!— but ofthe retail— the mere selling ( not. producing) dealers— in drapery, jewellery, lutes, piano- fortes, Leghorn hats, satin shoes, Italian paste, Mar- tinique lioyeau— in coats, and cloaks, and silk, and velvet, and fruils, and ice, and lace, and feathers, and flowers, and scents,' and wigs, and pickles, and plate- glass, and furs, and millinery ! these shops of Cheap- side, Ludgate bill, and Fleet street, in the east; of Piccadilly, Bond- street, aud Regent- street in the west; of Oxford street in the north; and Covcrit- garden, Charing. cross, and the Bazaars in the centre — decorated merely to opeu for trade, at a higher cost than would formerly have been held a ' decent capital to begin trade with— what is there in these that sug- gests the notion of distress? We have no account yet of those hourly multiplying contributors to luxury and delight, whose wares, being purchased less espe- cially than the fore- mentioned upon display, do not so. entirely demand to be exposed for sale w ithin walls of looking glass— the upholsterers, coach- makers, horse. jockeys, and wine- merchants— Ihe publishers, whose very catalogues alone ( assembled) might form a library— the painters, whose increasing works Cry out every day for new show. rooms and institutions to display them in— the dancing masters, driving cabrio lets, and keeping footmen iu livery— the music- masters, taking a guinea a lesson for teaching the piano— the doctors, and siill more the branch doctors, the 44 aurists," and 44 oculists"— and, more than all, the prodigies of modern success, the 44 surgeon- dentists"— who flourish ( to the superseding of vulgar 44 tooth- drawers)" in the best streets and squares of the metropolis, levying incomes of five, and ten, and fifteen thousand pounds a- year!' The people who support these— as a people— would scarcely seem to know much about distress! All this shew of prosperity is found in London— where the wealthy and noble of Britain are residents. If these were to become 44 absentees"— if the grass were lo grow upon the pavement of Pall Mall, and the owl build iu the chimnies and garrets of Portland- place— would Ihis state of things continue ? 1 should like lo have Mr, M'Culloeh's opinion on this point; and, if he should favour the affirmative, I have a scheme for making all the universe 44 rich aud happy to- morrow." EMIGRATION.— By the Special Report of the Committee of the House of Commons on Emigra- tion, it is recommended that £ 500,000 should be given, in order to facilitate the emigration of 1200 families to North America, from the distressed dis- tricts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Renfrew, & Lanark. ELECTION COMMITTEES.— The Galway Election Committee adjourned on Friday until Tuesday. It has been decided that Mr. Lambert has the majority oflegal votes. Hundreds of Mr. Martin's votes have been disallowed, in consequence of some of the parties having voted twice, thrice, and even four times at the election ; and, what is shocking to state, ! it appeared that all these voters had, on each occa- sion, sworn that they had not voted before at that Election!— Mr. Martin, when the Committee again met, endeavoured to prove such unconstitutional conduct on the part of Mr. Lambert, as should dis- qualify him for a seat in the House. In this, how- ever, he did not succeed, and Mr. Lambert was on Wednesday declared the sitting member. Westmeath Election.— Sir Thomas Chapman's steward was examined before the Committee on Thursday, to prove that the " Baronet's tenants were bribed by the Roman Catholic priests to vote for Mr. Tuite. It appeared from his evidence that 114 of the tenants had voted for Mr. Tuite, and that they all owed two years' rent, which amounted to £ 384. Ejectments were brought against them all, but were afterwards withdrawn, through the inter- position of Mr. Shiel, on condition that the rent should be paid, and two Catholic Priests afterwards paid the entire sum. It also appeared that 50 of the freeholders held no more than a quarter of an acre of land each, for which they were to pay one penny a- year, and 50 more held no more than half an acre each, for which they were to pay 6d. a- year; and ejectments were brought, in some instances, for arrears of 2d. and in other instances, for Is.— Such are the Irish freeholders. East Retford Election.— The petitioner in this case is Sir Henry Wilson, the unsuccessful candidate. The grounds of the petition are corruption and mal- practice on the part of the sitting members ( Sir Robt Dundas and Mr. Wrightson). A singular circum- stance, which excited no inconsiderable share of laughter, occurred before the Committee. A banker in Retford, who paid bills to a considerable amount, for expenses incurred on behalf of the sitting Mem- bers during the election, was brought up to prove, that the bills were not paid at the instance, nor on the account, ofthe sitting members. On producing his books to shew that the bills were not charged to the members, the first item that presented itself was the receipt of £ 1200 from the venerable Earl Fitz- william, towards the expenses of the Election- thereby establishing the unconstitutional interfer- ence of a Peer ofthe Realm. It is understood that, after the Easter holidays, a motion will be brought forward in the House of Commons, for disfranchising the borough of Penryn, in Cornwall, on the ground of bribery; and Lord John Russell has given notice of a motion for trans- ferring the right of eleetion to Manchester. ANECDOTE OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.— The following anecdote, as connected with the early history of the present Lord Chancellor, which we give as related by his Lordship at the table of a distinguished Member of Ihe Administration, a short time since, is a proof how unlooked- for causes, sometimes j''" produce' astonishing effects ; and verifies the following well known quotation from Shakespeare— 44 There is a tide in the affairs of men, " Which ta'en at the flood leads on to fortune." 44 At the commencement of my professional career," said his Lordship, 44 I borrowed thirty pounds to go Ihe Northern Circuit, but I got no briefs; and, Sir, I borrowed another thirty, but got no return. After some time at this game, ! had determined lo borrow no more, when 1 was prevailed on by a friend lo try again, and did so. Al York I had a junior brief, and Davenport, then a leading Counsel on Ihe Circuit, was to stale the case to the Jury. The cause was called on in the morning, and Davenport was engaged in the Crown Court. I," said tbe Chancellor, 44 begged the Judge to postpone it ; but be replied, 4 You must lead, Mr. Scott,' and I did so; il was an action for an assault ; two Yorkshire Ladies had quarrelled at cards— a scuffle ensued— and one of them was turned off her chair ou the ground. This was ihe nature of the assault. It happened," proceeded his Lordship, 14 that 1 set the Court in a roar of laughter, and suc- ceeded for my client. Retainers began to flow in, and the prospect brightened. On proceeding to Carlisle a circumstance occurred, which was far more fortunate than the preceding in its results, as it laid the founda- tion of my future prosperity. 1 had retired early to bed the night before Ihe Assizes, when I was aroused hy a knock at my door; on getting up, I found Mr. , the Solicitor, with a large brief in his band, who observed, that a cause was coining ou in the morning, nnd Ihe leading Counsel were all too much engaged to read so large a brief—' you must lake it, Mr. Scott ' I hesitated, as Davenport and others bad declined il, and expressed my doubt of being able lo accomplish Ihe task. He pressed me, and by the little light there was, as the Attorney put Ihe brief into my band, 1 saw written on il, lMr. Scott, twenty guineas' This was not to be refused; aud 1 said, 1 Well, I'll promise to l ead your brief, and slate ils substance.' ' Thai's all we waul,' replied ( he Solicitor; so 1 dressed myself, and read it. The next day I succeeded ill the cause, and never wanted briefs again." OXFORD CIRCUIT.— The Assizes al Hereford were brought to a close on Thursday. Mr. Baron Vaughan presided in the Crown Court', and Mr. Sergeant JBosanquet at Nisi I'rius Sentence of death was recorded against 14, viz. Thos. Nichofls, for stealing three mares; Richard Steadmah, Charles Gaulder, and Henry Davies, for sheep- stealing; James and Wm. Lewis, for burglary; Wm. Banks, for highway robbery; John Spring, Thomas Jones, John Prosser, Benjamin Simcox, Thos. Allcott, Wm. Griffiths, and T. Trigg, for stealing various property. — Eight were adjudged to transportation, 18 fo be imprisoned, 17 were found not guilty, against 11 no bills were found, and two were admitted evidence. Au action was tried by a Special Jury, in which Captain Boyd, of Wern, near Carmarthen, was plaintiff, against the Proprietors of the Bristol and Milford Mail, to recover compensation for an injury sustained by the overturning of that coach, on 12th March, near St. Clear's; when a verdict was given for plaintiff— damages ±' 300. The important cause, Blaiemore, Esq. r. Gla- morgan Canal Company was made a remanet. MONMOUTH~ ASSIZES. William VVafkins, a respectable farmer, John Prosser, a constable, Thomas Jenkins, and Henry Evans, ser- vants, were charged with a riot, and with assaulting Mary Nicholas. Mr. MAPLE said, he was truly surprised and sorry to have to lay a case of this kind before a Jury, in this enlightened age. The prosecutrix was a very aged female, whom the prisoners had most absurdly fancied io be a witch, and the prisoner Watkins having had several of his cattle die suddenly, fancied that she had bewitched them. Under this notion ihe four prisoners came up to this unfortunate old woman on the road, and dragged her by force to the fold- gate of the prisoner Wai'kins. By this a great concourse of persons was aitracted, as t'he scene of outrage was " Only one mi'e from .. Abergavenny. When they had got her there, they placed her behind a colt, and obliged her to kneel on ihe ground, and take ihe animal's tail in her hand, and repeat some form of prayer, which was to protect the cattle against her spells. This she did, and the prisoners,, under the stupid notion that if you draw a witch's blood she cannot hurt you, took a bough of a wild- rose out ofa hedge, and they drew this across her arm so as to make rt bleed. They then proceeded to strip the upper part of her person, for the purpose of finding a supposed mark of w here she suckled imps, or some sort of beings of another world, and w hen they had cut off some of the unfortunate creatine's hair, they found a wart on bef head, which they said was it. Upon tliis I'hey proposed to duck her, butat the earnest solicstatrbnS of her daughter they let her go. Tt was most fortunate for the prisoners that they did not carry their intention of docking her into effect,, as if death had Ensued, they would have been every one of them most seriously answerable for that offence. Mary Nicholas, a very hearty looking old v/ oman, but evidently of extreme age, said, l am ninety years of age. I reside, at L'anfbist, w hich is one mile from Abergavenny. T was attacked in the road by the four prisoners, who dragged me along, sometimes pulling-, and sometimes pushing trie, till they got me to Miv Watkins's rick- fold. As we were going there, a great number of persons collected round lis. Wheu they got me to the rick- fold, they took me to a part of it where a colt was, and held me down otVroy knees till I blessed the coll. One of them then got a briar from the hedge, and drew it across my arm m> as to make is bleed. My arm was covered wiih blood'. They then stripped me to the waist, and searched nie all over with their hands, and I could feel that they cut some of my hair off. 3 was very much frightened. Cross- examined by Mr.- Russ'Etl! —" I never tbfd a girl that if she did not give up some handkerchiefs she had taken, I would make her walk on her back in the night. I never threatened to bewitch anyone, nor did I ever encourage the notion lhat I was a witch'. Mary Phillips, the daughter.— The mob were" very bad. I had much ado any how to get to my mother. I did not kuow which way to come. My mother's clothes ( shift and all) were off, and the little hair she had was off. When I got to her, my mother said 44 Oh, my dear child, they have killed me." I spoke to Waikins; he said all his cattle were dead. John Prosser said, ' 4 Waikins,. do not he bullied by her ; I am the consta- ble of this parish, and I'll make her mother do it again." My mother was very had indeed. I took her by the arm. Watkins came up again, and said she honld say it again. I begged her to do so. I was so frightened ; I was quite humbled ; and laid hold of her by the arm. ( Here the witness fell a crying.) My mother is very ill, and not recovered. She was before a s? 0nt old woman. Evan Evan said— I was present, nnd saw what occur- red. 1 saw the prisoners dragg- ing' ihe old woman along, and about seventy persons were by. On Iheir taking her into the rick- fold, Mr. Wat kins said ( point- ing- to some cattle which were lying dead) 44 There is some of your work." She was then placed on her knees behind the colt, and asked w hat she was to do ? The prisoner Watkins replied, 44 You must say, God Almighty, that is in heaven, bless the colt." Wat kins then drew a briar out of the hedge, and passed it gently across her arm. They then stripped off her clothes, and said they were looking for the maVk where the devils sucked. They found something of a mark on her head, and said, 44 there it is." They then talked of ducking her, but I said to Watkins, 44 Mind what you are about, for if any thing happens, it will be a nice thing." The old woman's daughter came up, and at her intreaties the prisoners. suffered the old woman to deport. Mr. RUSSELL, for the defendants, said that, he could not deny the assault, and that he was much surprised lo find that so much superstition could exist either iu England or Wales. It should, however, he recollected, that at one period some of the most eminent men of this country believed in all this absurdity as implicitly as the prisoners could do. Thai the prisoners had acted in a firm belief that the poor old woman was a witch, was quite clear, as they drew her blood, which was understood to disarm ihe pow er of a witch ; they cut off her hair, because it was said that a witch's hair would not burn ; and the ducking her was not, as the Counsel for the prosecution had supposed, for the purpose of drowning her, hut because one of the tests by which a woman was discovered to be a witch was that she would . float on water. The prisoners had offered every com- pensation in their power since they had been convinced of the delusion under which they had laboured, hut lhat had not heen acceded to by the prosecutors. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN said that he thought the riot was not proved, but that, beyond all question, there had been a most brutal assault committed. That the pri. soners had acted under a " delusion founded on supersti- tion, was quite clear ; and he regretted that there was any one in the kingdom who should have been so deplorably ignorant as to have fallen into such an er ror. Verdict— Guilty of the assault only. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN said, that from the extreme singularity of ihe case, he must take time to consider of the sentence. WARWICK ASSIZES.— The trial of John Birch, charged with the murder of his housekeeper, Mary Kinton, in Birmingham, excited great interest, though the result , was by no means unlocked for. The most convincing testimony of insanity was adduced, and the behaviour of the unfortunate man on his trial fully satisfied the jury of the correctness of the plea. A verdict of not guilty was accordingly returned, and the prisoner was directed to be taken care of until his Majesty's pleasure, as to his future disposal, ghall be signified.— The trial of William Timpson, for the murder of his wife, also in Bir- mingham, was postponed until the next Assizes, on account of the prisoner not being in a fit state of mind to be arraigned. CLONMEL, APRIL 5.— Thomas Bryan, John Green, James Byrne, Philip Lonergan, and John Lonergan, were yesterday tried and convicted for the murder of Mr. J. Barry, at Grange. Mr. Sergeant Black- burne stated the case for the prosecution. Mr. William Burke had held a farm, of about 110 acres, from Lord Donougbmore. He suffered the rent to run into arrear to the amount of £ 1400. Lord Donoughmore commenced proceedings at law to recover this arrear— but discontinued his proceed- ings on the terms of Burke's surrendering the farm, except twenty. seven acres, which his Lordship humanely permitted him to retain, and forgave all the arrear. Lord Donoughmore thus got into pos- session of the ground, and made a new lease of about eighty acres to Mr. Barry. This unfortunate gentleman had possessed his farm but a few weeks, when his bouse was attacked at . a very early hour,- on Sunday evening, in the beginning of February last, by a ferocious band of ruffians, who murdered him in a most cruel manner for this infraction of the Roekite code. The trial commenced at ten o'clock in the morning, and did not terminate until after one o'clock this morning, when the Jury, upon the; clearest, and most incontestable evidence, re- turned a verdict of Guilty against al! the prisoners. They are ordered for execution on Saturday. On Saturday last, Samuel Ashcroft, aged 22, Daniel Graham, aged 25, and Michael Filzpatrick, aged 22, were executed behind the Castle of Lan caster, for highway robberies in Manchester and its neighbourhood. A man named Gorman, convicted at the late Clonmel Assizes for being concerned in the horrible murder ofthe Sheas, in 1821, was executed in front of Clonmel Gaol on Monday. THE LATE EARL OF SHREWSBURY.— We under- stand the following to be a correct statement ofthe will and property of this venerable Nobleman. All his extensive landed, estates, as well as his town residence, plate, furniture, & c. devolve on his nephew, John, the present Earl, who is also resi- duary legatee to an accumulation of personal pro perty, valued at upwards of £ 400,000. The legacies do not amount to £ 30,000, but annuities to the extent of £ 5400 per annum, are left between the Dowager Countess and the younger branches of the family. There are bequests of £ 500 each to two of the London Hospitals, and £ 2000 to other Charities. It is now confidently sfated that the Rev. John James, Rector of Flitton, Bedfordshire, is to be the new Bishop of Calcutta. The Earl of Darlington was the purchaser, on Friday, of the bust of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, by Behns, for the sum of 76 guineas. By a return to an Order ofthe House of Lords, it appears that 2,000 long woolled sheep have been exported during the last two years;— viz. 800 in 1825, and 1,200 in 1826. SUBTERRANEOUS FIRE.— On the north- eastern coast of Weymouth bay, opposite to the Island of Portland, rises a chalky cliff, considerably higher than the rest of the coast, called the White Nore. On the 16th ult. a flame was observed playing on the surface of the cliff, on a particular spot. This flame subsequently assumed the character of a subterraneous fire burning continuously, and may be seen from the esplanade at Weymouth by night. 1 he chasms from which the fire issues cover a space of earth twenty feet square. Upon looking into the cracks in the earth, the fire appears as clear as that ot a furnace. The atmosphere around is sultry, and a steam arises from a larger portion of fhe surface of the cliff. The foregoing phenomenon is no doubt the result of martial pyrites, a species of coal composed of sulphur and iron, which, becoming decomposed by the late rains, combustion has taken place. Hutchins mentions a like smoking appearance of the cliffs at Charmouth, about 300 years ago, and supposed from a similar cause as the above, pyrites being found on the spot in abundance. At the Devon Assizes one of the most affecting trials for forgery which has occurred for some time came on. The persons charged were John Orchard, sen. a venerable looking man, 78 years of age, aud his son, John Orchard, aged 50, both farmers, of South Ta'wton, Devon. They were indicted for having, on 23d December, 1818, altered a deed for the purpose of defrauding M. Lane ( since dead) of £ 1000. After the evidence, from which it appeared that the elder prisoner had acted entirely under the direction of his son, had be^. i gone through, they were called upon for their defence. The feeble and venerable old man, whose head time had almost wholly bereft of its covering, was led to the bar, having been indulged with a chair during the trial, and with a tremulous voice thanked his Lordship, saying, he laboured under great infirmity, and was unable to avail himself of the liberty allowed him. The son, who had sat on the side rail during nearly £ be whole trial, was now again distinctly called upon by the Judge, and turning to the bar, he essayed several times to speak, but though not outwardly affected, the power of articulation seemed denied. Both the prisoners received an excellent character from persons of the first respectability. The Jury retired, and in abOtit two minutes returned- with a verdict of Acquittal as to tbe elder prisoner,, and finding the younger Guilty. The Judge then passed sentence of death upon him, without holding out any hopes of mercy. The indictment against the prisoners contained 12 counts. At the Cambridgeshire Assizes',- on Saturday, William and Mary Ann Mean were tried for the wilful murder of their daughter, a little girl about ten years of agfe, by starvation and violence. It appeared from the evidence, that the mother was'in the habit of unmercifully beating the child with a stick and leather strap; and a surgeon proved that he had the child stripped, and of all Hie objects he ever saw, it was the most complete skeleton; she was also literally flayed from head to foot; and he had no doubt that the wounds and bruises caused the child's death. The Jury returned a verdictof Not Guilty as to William Mean, and pronouncing bis wife Guilty of Manslaughter, under peculiarly aggravated circumstances. . The Learned Judge, after an impressive address, sentenced her to trans- portation for life. J. R. Tonge, postmaster of Grantham, has been sentenced to seven years' transportation/ or altering the postage of a letter from 2s. 2d. to 4s. 4d. True bills were found against him for three other offences of the same kind. COINERS.— At the Surrey Assizes, on Saturday last, Daniel Buckley and Jeremiah Andrews", the principals of the parties apprehended for coining, in VauxhalLRoad, in December last, were found guilly, and received sentence of Death.— Mary Ann Patrick, another, of the party, was found guilty of procuring a quant ity of counterfeit coin, for the purpose of utier- ing ihe same, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 6 mouths to hard labour.— The parties convicted in this instance had been carrying on their nefarious traffic to an extent almost incredible, A commercial traveller lately left an article belonging to his wardrobe at an inn, and wrote to the chambermaid to forward it to him by coach ; in answer to which he received the following: 44 I hope, dear Sir, you'll not feel hurt— I'll frankly tell you all about it ; I've made a shift with your old shirt, Aud you must make a shift without il." The following invaluable cure for the ague may not be unacceptable:— The patient, on finding a fit coming on, should take a tea spoonful of the flour of brimstone in a glass of port wine, and immediately go to bed ; repeating ihe dose at the approach of every subsequent fit, which will not excccd two or three. I'he Rev. VV. Dixon, a converted Roman Catholic Clergyman, in a letter to the Roman Catholics of Drogheda, slates the particulars of fees drawn hy the Roman Catholic priests from the peasantry of ihe wildest parish ( Kilmore Erris, diocese of Kilialla) of the poorest county in Ireland— a county in which, in 1822, She paupers were commensurate with the popu- lation— The amount thus drawn was four hundred and jive pounds per a nnum. Somebody asked the Baron Rothschild to take venison— 44 No," said the Baron," I never eatsh wenshon, I don't think it ish so coot ash motion." < 4 Oh," said the Baron's friend, 44 I wonder at you saying so; if venison was not better than mutton, why does venison cost so much more?" 44 Vy ?" replied the Baron, 44 I vill tell you vy— in dish world de peoples alwaysh prefers vat ish deer to vat ish sheep V ROMAN CEMENT.— An action was recently tried, in the Court of King's Bench, for a breach of con- tract on the part of a person named Rhodes, who had undertaken to supply the plaintiff, Mr. YVilks, with 300 barrels of cement per week, at the rate of Is. 5d. per bushel. In the course of the trial, Mr. Alfred Wyatt said, that his uncle was the original patentee of Roman cement. The cement was best made of Sheppy stones. The island of Sheppy was divided into three manors, oiie of which belonged to his partner, another was rented by them of its pro- prietor, and the third was the property of Messrs. Frances and White. In his cross- examination, he stated, that cement made of any other than Sheppy stone was of very inferior quality. If good cement was not exposed to the air, there was nothing that would spoil it; but inferior cement could not be depended upon. It was impossible to sell the best cement at Is. 5d. per bushel. There were no per- sons except himself and his partners, Messrs. Frances and White, who could make cement of the best quality. Mr. Lane, who was employed under Mr. Brunell in the Thames Tunnel, deposed tothe inferior quality of the cement which they had pur- chased from Mr. Wilks. The cement now used in the Thames Tunnel was purchased from Mr. Wilks. There was no comparison between it and the former. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ 3,000. By the American Papers it is confirmed that the Senate had refused to sanction the amendments of the House of Representatives to the bill for re- gulating the commercial intercourse between the United States and tbe British Colonies. It was consequently lost by a majority of five votes, the numbers being, ayes 20, noes 25. Upon another motion, that the Senate should concur in the amend- ments, it was subsequently agreed to, by the same majority, that the Senate should 44 adhere to their disagreement to the amendments of the other house." The question, therefore, between this country and the United States is exactly in the situation in which it stood prior to the Session, and it remains for the American Executive to act on its own responsibility. The Allgemeine Zetung, under the head of Metz/ March 22, contains some remarks on the present commercial system of England. It proceeds to shew that the measures adopted by our Government to: unshackle commerce, will benefit the nations of the*' continent, and the change in our colonial system^ and the course taken with respect to the tJnitecf, Stales, it is calculated, will benefit the north of Germany, whose traders, it is stated, can supply almost all the articles which until now our colonists have been in the habit of taking from the Americans^ amounting- annually to twelve millions of dollars. The west and south of Germany, it is added, would also participate in the benefits they set forth, were the navigation of the Rhine free.— The Nuremberg Correspondent mentions that the spring fair at Frankfort turned out well. Recent letters from Malta state that the intelli- gence from the Morea was favourable. Tripolizza had been re- taken by the Greeks. Advices from Vera Cruz and the Havannah, brought bv his Majesty's ship Calliope, arrived at Portsmouth, inform us, that the apparent critical situation of affairs between this country and Spain had induced Sir Lawrence Halsted to dispatch orders to Captain Hunn, by the Pylades, Captain Jackson, and Nimble, Lieutenant Holland, not to touch at Havannah. The Pylades had been at Vera Cruz with these orders, in search of the Tweed ; and the Nimble was left cruising off Havannah with the same object. The Scylla was cruising off Havannah, and had lately had a marine killed, 1 by a musket ball, in a rencontre with a Spanish private ship Of war; the Scylla had only occasion to fire a broadside, which lodged five shots under the Spaniard's counter, and killed and wounded several of her men, when she hove to, and made the amende honorable. An extensive conspiracy on the part of the priesthood to disturb the present Govern- ment has been discovered in Mexico ; iu consequence of which the Ecclesiastics at Vera Cruz were seized by General Barrangar, and sent off to Mexico, to be hung in that city, with several of the agitators dis- covered there. The conspirators expected assistance from a Spanish squadron al the Havannali. The Calliope brings 80,000 dollars on merchants'account. We are sorry to receive accounts of an tinpleisant affair which took place off Corfu, between a Turkinlv vessel of war, stated in one account to be a frigate, ami- H. M. Sloop Pelican. The Pelican ( whydocs not appear) was fired upon repeatedly by the Turks, in pite of her having hailed and explained her name and character. After some forbearance, which seemed Jo be construed into cowardice, the Pefican returned the fire— but not until two men were killed and many wounded. The action was very short. The Turks nre prisoners on board the Pelican,^ and ihe ship burnt. Beethoven, the celebrated musical composer, died at Vienna, on the 25th of March. In the House of Commons, on Monday, Alderman Waithman presented a petition from 13 shareholders of the Cornwall and Devon Mining Company, corn- plaining of the conduct of the director* of that establishment, some of whom were members of that house. The petitioning explained by the worthy Alderman, detailed a series of alleged frauds, ou the part of live Directors.— Mr. Wilks ( member for Sud- bury), the party principally inculpated, defended himself with exemplary confidence and imperturbable coolness during two hours.— Lord Palmerston anc|: Mr. Poulett, who were involved in the same accusa- tion, also defended themselves in speeches of some length.— Mr. Wynn, Mr Bankes, Mr. D. W. Harvey, and Other members said, that as legal proceedings connected with the subject matter of the petition were actually pending, the house could not interfere without manifest danger of interrupting the course of justice— After some very warm conversation between Mr. Wilks and Alderman Waithman, the petition was laid on the table.—[ The principal point of the dis- cussion was, that Mr Wilks had sold the Company certain Mines for £ 121,000, which he was not then in possession of; but which he had himself agreed to purchase for £ 78,500; thus realizing £ 42,500 by the transaction. Mr. Wilks, when defending himself^ contended that there was nothing unfair in this transaction, the fact of which he acknowledged.] The Report of fhe Committee on the Arigna Mining Company case was presented to the House of Commons on Tuesday. The Committee remark, that it is a fact as notorious as it is unfortunate,- that meri of statron and iiyQuence have too frequently lent the credit of their names' and patronage to projects essentially unsound, and to projectors with- out principle; on the faith of whose example num- bers have flocked into a concern,- satisfied that they might safely hazard an outlay of capital, where such authorities stood forward to incur the same hazard largely. They are " distinctly of opinion, that neither Mr. Brogden nor Mr. Bent was privy to the fraud respecting the reservation of the £ 15,000, on the sale of the property to the Company;" but at the same time 44 cannot but express their extreme surprise that the money should have found such ready recipients;" adding, that44 it is not accordant with the principles or with the practice applicable' to such cases, that men should receive large sums,- in perfect ignorance of their derivation, and without any explanation given or demanded." Tbe Com- mittee express their readiness to believe that Mr. Brogden and Mr. Bent received the £ 1047 each, as money to which they considered they had an un- doubted right, as the produce of the sale of 100 shares, secretly reserved for the benefit of the Directors, and isstied at a premium ; but that Mr. Brogden did not take sufficient pains to ascertain' the source of the money previously to his receipt of it. The Committee add, that neither Mr. Bent nor Mr. Brogden have refunded the money; and that the latter gentleman's 44 reasons for not returning it are, that he still firmly believes it to have arisen from the sale of his shares; that to refund it now* would be deemed an acknowledgment of its impure derivation, and an acknowledgment extorted from him only by the publicity of the transaction." GOVERNOR ARTHUR BROWNE.—[ From the Cork Mercantile Chronicle, March 5, 1827. J— On Fri- day last, died at B lack heath, near Kinsale, the above gallant officer, in the 84th year of his age, having beeu 69 years in the army, and 36 years Lieutenant Governor of Charles Fort and Kinsale, in the vicinity of which be was to be this day buried with ihe military honours clue to his rank. — Governor Browne served at the siege of the Havannah, in 1762, at thai of Gibraltar, in 1782, and, we believe, was the last of the gallant band under General Wolfe, in the plains of Abraham, in 1759. He was by the side of Wolfe when he received his mortal wound, being a Lieutenant Fireworker in the Royal Artillery, and in the command, on that memorable day, of two field pieces.— The deep nffliciion of all who had any connexion with Governor Browne, attests his merit* so unequivocally, as to render panegyric superfluous. His private virtues as a husband, father, and friend, were so unos'entatiously exercised, that we dare not in- dulge in dwelling upon ihenr; but we have no scruple in holding up to view his conduct as an officer, a gentle- man, and a landlord. — His merits as a military man, are not more entitled to credit and emulation than his salutary efforts as a peace maker, when hiscountry vvas torn by discord and dissension : and the warm gratitude that still lives in the hearts of the peasantry and the poor, in ihe neighbourhood of Kinsale, is perhaps the best tribute that can be paid to his memory as a man and as a christian.
