He has likewise appointed them to sell the under- mentioned newly- discovered Articles: POUDRE UNIQUE, for changing Grey or Red Hair to a Light Auburn, Brown, or Black. His POMADE REGENERATRICE, for the Growth aud Preservation of the Hair ; to which J. DELCROIX I has particularly directed his Studies, and which has led him to the Discovery of this valuable Compound, composed of several Plants, the great Properties of which, for tiie Growth of the Hair and preventing its falling off, have been hitherto but partially known in " this Country ; it would he superfluous here lo enlarge © n the Merits of this Compound, as a short Trial will fully evince its Efficacy. His POUDRE SUBTIL, for removing superfluous Hair. This Imperfection J.

As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person has the Pretension to say that lie is the only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact he is perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear's Grease ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it wilh Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed- with a little Rergamot ; which, from having tiuaiyzed it, J. DELCROIX 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 n very desicative Nature, and not of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded as one of the best Articles for promoting the Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Public frotn falling into Error by using such Imitations, which nre so insulting to the common Understanding, and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DELCROIX begs to give a brief Description of it The Pat of the Animal, when he receives it in Casks from Russia, is rather offensive, and of a 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.

The Earl of M A t,.\ lKSBUR¥ moved for the production ol the correspondence in 1825 and 1826 between the British and Prussian governments respecting the Corn Trade. Lord FARHIUM presented several petitions, ngniusf acceding lo the demands of the Roman Catholics. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. I. BD1.0W ELKCrtON, Colonel Bonn brought up Ihe report of the commit- tee appointed to inquire into the merits of the petition presented against the return for Ludlow. The report declared that Lord Cli. ve, the sultin « - member, was duly I'leeted, and that the petition was not frivolous or vex- atious. Lord HOTHAM avowed his dislike to. and his distrust of, Ihe new Administration.; aud professed to ground1 these feelinos n^ jon tIfe" verv same quality 111 the . new Cabinet which had so strongly recommended it to the' member for Westminster ( Sir F. Burden), namely — its zeal for Popery. Mr. C W. VV. WYNN moved the thanks of the House to Lord Comhermere and to the other military aud naval officers that had served in the late Indian cam- paign ; and to the sailors and soldiers that had served under them.— The motion' was seconded by Mr. HUME, and carried unanimously. Lord ALTHORPE moved for leave fo bring in a Bill to diminish the expenses of Elections. Tbe special provision of the measure which he would propose was to disqualify from voting all persons employed and piid by the candidates or their agents during an ele< v tion. The effect of this would be to disable candidates from giving bribes to great numbers of electors, under' the colourable pretext of employment, as was practised" to a vast extent under the existing system. Mr. BROUGFIAM supported the motion, n$ a step irV that species of Reform to which only he would consent. The hon. and learned gentleman- then entered at some length into the defects of the election laws, particularly objecting to the appointment of nominees on election committees. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. Mr. LEGH KECK then called the attention of the House to the case of tlie borough of Peiiryu. Itwatf successively proposed to transfer the right of repre- sentation at present possessed by Penryn to the adjacent hundreds, to Manchester, Leeds, and' Birmingham. Upon a suggestion, however, that no case of any thing like general corruption had been made out against" Penryn, it was agreed to postpone tbe further consider- ation of that part of the subject.— It was also agreed to institute prosecutions against some of the parties en- gaged in corrupt practices; and leave was given to bring in a Bill to prevent bribery at future elections' for Penryn. r | MI E Commissioners in a Commission of H Rankrupt, bearing Date the 13th of February 1826, awarded and issued forth against CHARLES DELVES BROUGHTON and JOHN JASPER GARNETT, both of NANTWICH, in the County of Chester, Bankers and Copartners, intend to meet. 011 the 18th Day of May, 1827, at Eleven of the Clock in the Forenoon, at the Crown Inn, in Nantwich, in the said County, to make a further DIVIDEND of the Estate and Effects of the said Bankrupts ; and also to make a Dividend of their Separate Estates, when and where the Creditors who have not already proved their Debts, are to come prepared to prove the same, or tiiey will be excluded the Benefit of the said Dividends, and all Claims not then proved will be. disallowed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH- MAY 7. THE KING v. HARRISON. This was an iufoimation, in the nature of a Qvo H'arionto, filed against the defendant, late Mayor of Chester, calling on him to show by what authority he exercised the office of Mayor of that city. The case' was tried at the late Shrewsbury Assizes, when a ver-- diet was had for the Crown. Mr. ' TAUNTON now moved for a rule to show cause why a verdict should not be entered for the defendant, non obstante veredicto. He contended that it was nut necessary for a good election that a majority of the 24 Aldermen and the Sheriffs should then be present, but only lhat there should be a majority of such Aldermen as should happen to be present; that therefore The election of the defendant was good; and that a verdict ought to be entered for him. ' The Court were of opinion, that from the terms of the Charter, by which the Corporation were bound, there should be a majority of the 24 Aldermen present at the election of a Mayor; and that not being the case in the defendant's election, his election was not valid.— The Court consequently refused the present application. BYOLLIN R. WYNN AND OTHERS. This case, which related to the validity ofa will, was also tried at t! V& last Shrewsbury Assizes, and a verdict was given for the defendants, Mr. Curwood, on behalf ofthe plaintiff, moved to shew cause why a new trial- should not be granted.— The Court decided that they saw no ground for disturbing the verdict of the Jury. COURT OF CHANCERY- WEDNESDAY. MORRIS V. DAVIES. M<\ AGAR stated, that in this case his client had obtained a verdict in his favour at the last Shrewsbury Assizes ; ami that three weeks ago the defendant had given him notice of a motion to be made in this Court for a new trial ; but as the defendant did not seeur inclined to make that motion, he had to apply for au order to advance the hearing of the cause in this Courf, out of Which the issue for the bite trial had been directed. Mr. HEALD, for the defendant, said, the trial had lasted two days, and his client had not been able to prepare, hy this lime, sufficient briefs, & c. to enable his Counsel to make the motion, nor wou'd he be prepared for a fortnight from this time. And one objection to the motion's being made just now, even if Counsel were prepared, was, that the Court had not been furnished with a copy of the Judge's notes, before whom the issue had been tried. A long discussion now ensued, by several gentlemen at the Bar and the Bench., upon the question, whether application .- onglit to be made in all eases to Judges at law, before whom cases had been tried, lo have their notes, the moment ii was suggested" that a party meant . to move for a new trial, or whether the party complain- ing o. rtght not to make out a prima facie case for a new trial, to the satisfaction of the Court, before ii troubled tbe Judge at law to make a copy <> f lii. s notes. It was stated that the present Master of the Roll's, while Vice- Chancellor, had adopted the latter course, hut that Lord Eidon never would adopt it, he invariably having sent for the notes ou having been asked to do so.— Titer ( present) Lord Chancellor now said, he thought il the most convenient way to have a prima facie case for a new trial made out IK .' ore the notes were sent for, be_ ause it might be, that on the party's own showing that applied for the new trial, the Court might not think- him entitled to one.— He, therefore, ordered the parties to be prepared in this case lo state their grounds for a new trial on Wednesday next, and by lhat time he would consult Lord Eldon 011 this point, of practice; and he should then be able to lay down a rule nu the subject, PREROGATIVE COURT- WEDNESDAY. Before Sir . John Nicholl. BRYDGES, BART. HERETOFORE JONES V. KING. This was a suit promoted by Sir Harford Jones Brydges, Bart, against the executors of the late Mrs. Marv Brydges, of Bambrook, in the county of Glouces- ter, lo set aside a codicil, 011 the grounds of the usound state of the deceased's mind at the time she executed the codicil. ' The testatrix tied in the month of Febru- ary, 1826, at the. age of 75. Three years previous to- iler death, she executed a will, and bequeathed £ 35,000, and all her lauded property, to Sir. Harford Jones Brvdoes, Bart, the promovent, then Sir Haiford Jones, Bart, her second cousin, on condition that he should take the name and arms of Brydges. In Janu- ary, 18' 26, the deceased executed a codicil to her will, and bequeathed £ 15,00.) out of ihe £ 35,00.0, in several bequests — £ 10,000 to Miss Sarah King, who resided with the testatrix ; £ 1,500 to ' Thomas Gay, her foot- man ; £ 1,000 to Mr. Hay, of Bristol, apothecary, who attended her in her last illness; and £ 100 to John King, Sarah's brother. ' The codicil was witnessed by another brother, James King, and a working mason, who slept in the house, and who was alleged to get. £ 250 for signing it, instead of for work. Sir Hat- for it J. Brydges disputed ttie validity on these ground's, and also on tbe ground that the deceased was not in sound mind at the time. The cause came hefore ihe Court this day for hear- ing, on the admission ofthe allegation. Dr. JvNNBR and Dr. JESSE A DDAMS were heard oi> the pari of Sir Harford Jones Brydges, the principal legatee. Dr. LUSHINGTON and Dr. PHILLIMORB were heard on the other side. The Court admitted the allegation, directing the tOtli, 11th, and lf> ih articles to be referred. We believe that there never was a period when the number of persons emigrating from this port to the United States and to Canada was so great as it is at the preseut moment. Most of the vessels* which have sailed during the last four weeks, for the above countries, have taken out crowds of passengers, consisting of men, women, and children. Some of the vessels took out the whole number of passengers that, they are by law allowed to carry, and a medical man was on board of each, to look after the health of the emigrants. It is estimated that the total number of persons who have emigrated in the course of this month in ucarly 1,390.— Liver pool Albion• i ^ jrsamssasssss^ s^ i- is& ssss ssyswiKsajaissKsaEES SALOPIAN JOUBNAL9 AME> €€ MJRIEK OF WI « Imperial flarUtinmn. HOUSE or LC^ lTHURSDAY. Tho Earl of ' M ALMKSIH KY, Lord OAGB, and Lord 1U: no I> A LIS presented Petitions against any- alteration in ihe Corn Laws. PORTUGAL. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, seeing; the Secretary for the Foreign Department in his place, wished to put a question relative lo our peculiar situation with Portu- gal . After the message from his Majesty in December last, and in consequi nee of which we had sent an army to Portugal, it was stated by his Majesty's Ministers, that ii was impossible then to lay the papers connected wilh that measure before the House; but it was coin- i mniealcd to their Lordships, that the Ministers had ascertained that there wa< a just cause for performing . what had been stipulated, by our treaty to do; but since that- time to the present no information had been laid before their Lordships, That, perhaps, might hnve been caused by the disorganized state of his Majesty's Government ; things are now different, said the Noble Lord, and though a casus foederis may have a iseiv, non constat, that il exists now. Feeling as he did the vast importance of the subject, it was his duty to call on his Noble Friend to lay before the House any information respecting the present and late state of affairs in Portugal. / Lord DODI. BY said, it was not at present the inten- tion of his Majesty's Ministers to lay any such infor- mation be fort- iheir Lordships. The question was one of the most delicate nature, and connected with negoeiationswhic. il were then peuding. Lord KLLKNBOROCGH. — Will iny Noble Friend say whether these negotiations are being carried on with the Portuguese or with any other Government. Lord DUDLEY declined to answer. NEW ADMINISTRATION. — MR. CANNING. The Duke of NEWCASTLE rose to present a Petition against any alteration in the Cora Laws. 1 intended, said his Grace, to oppose the Bill now before us, even when the. noble author of it was in this House. If 1 were then of that opinion, how much more strongly must I be inclined to do so, when the persons with whom he was associated are driven from the Govern- ment, and those checks and safeguards upon which I might rely are removed. It is, 1 think, the duty of every honest man to come forward at this awful crisis. } i is a duty which he owes to his King and Country, to standi boldly forward and dispossess of power that individual. I may perhaps" be using a harsh term, but I can find none more appropriate, I apply it of course in a political sense, but 1 cannot designate him otherwise than as the most profligate. Minister thut ever was in power. I call' on you all, my Lords,, to come forward and liberate his Majvsty from the awful and tremendous & iiuatifoiV in which he is placed, and to overthrow tbe most insidious aud dangerous coalition that has ever entered into the bead of any Statesman to project ( loud cheers)'. Thus much, my Eords, J have felt it m- y duty. to say. Indeed I should be very sorry if every" Member was not sufficiently clear aud explicit, or if 5 have not stated my opinions as strongly as I feel them-; and I am convinced, that, in giving utterance to them-, II do but express the sentiments of every; w ell- thinkin'giuan from John o'Groat's House to the Land's End ( cheers). _ _ • ' Lord DARLINGTON— who said his opinions had al- ways, been in accordance with the present Govern- ment, expressed his regret-, and was astonished at the sudden and violent opposiiron which was raised against the new A dmin ist patron* There could be but one of two causes for this opposition— either a desire of office and place; or an intention to dictate to the Crown what Ministers his Majesty should cbuse. Both causes, were in his opinion highly objectionable. The Noble Lord concluded, by designating the present Administration as the most finished that was ever formed. The Earl of HAREWOOT) said', that the whole course of his life was an answer to- any insinuation charging him with faction, but he confessed-, on the first view, he could not approve of the present Administration ( hear). Like many other persons,, he ( bid not know who composed his Majesty's Governments A certain part ofthe late Administration had resigned, and the couutry looked for the causes of those, resignations. Those reasons had been given, and he believed they were satisfactory to the whole community ( hear, Hear). — It was generally reported, that the present Govern- ment was only provisional, and if that was the fact, why not explain the reasons for this extraordinary, unparalleled state of affairs ? Lord GODERICIJ complained of the singular manner in which discussions of this kind arose. If Noble Lords did not choose to confide in the present Govern- ment, and it was clear there were some who did not, tiie fair and manly course to pursue, was to bring the question regularly beforet. be House. For this reason he had bailed the constitutional course pursued by a Noble Lord opposite ( Winchelsea), who had given notice of a motion that would bring the question to an issue. If his Majesty's Government could not give satisfactory reason* for their conduct, their Lordships would withdraw their confidence, and he would bow t, p their decision ; but lie knew enough of the high feelings of the present head of fhe Govern- ment to be assured, that that Right Hon. Gent, would prefer the consummation he had hinted, namely, a withdrawal of their Lordships' confidence, to being baited as it were every night in the way of interlocu- tory questions ( cheers). The Marquis of SALISBURY could judge nothing yet from the acts of the present Administration ( hear, from the Ministerial benches). But, constituted as that Administration was, he confessed he should look at. all their acts with great suspicion ( hear, hear). Rut though he had no confidence in his Ministers, he had the fullest confidence in his Majesty, and when his Majesty discovered, that his avowed wishes on a particular subject were not attended to, he ( the Marquis of Salisbury) bad no doubt how his Majesty would act. The Earl of HARDWICKR objected to the course pursued by the Noble Marquis, in attributing certain views to his Majesty. [. ord LAUDERDALE thought his noble friend was quite in order. The King was only known in that House to act by his Ministers, and it was the unques- tioned privilege of their Lordships to express them- selves on their acts. Lord FALMOUTH regretted that he was under the necessity of differing from some of his Majesty's Ministers, in whom he was formerly willing lo con- fide, but his conscience was bis own, and he confessed lie could not give it to an Administration constituted as the present was. Lord ELLBNBOROUGH agreed with Noble Lords, that it was the undoubted right of his Majesty to choose his own Ministers, hut he held it as firmly, that it was the undoubted right of Parliament to express an opinion on all publicquestions ( hear, hear). What dependance could be placed in the present Administration, when it > vas well known, that several Noble Lords presiding over the highest departments in the State, only held their situations until other Noble Lords thought proper to accept them ( hear, hear). No doubt the change would take place when the Session was over, or nearly so. This measure, he had no doubt, would be consummated in the dark! ( hear,' hear, hear)— and therefore it was convenient that all notices of motions should be w ithdrawn, as was seen in another place; and that no public mea- sures should be introduced by Government that can possibly be avoided. The effect of this arrangement would be, that a year would be lost to Ihe country. It was well known that all the good things were not yet disposed of, and it remained to be seen, whether the coalition which had taken place, was founded in a sacrifice of private feeling to public principle, or w hether it was to be look « dpi. ppn as a mere common vulgar transaction of willi ™ political Seduction, only remarkable for being perpetrated with ihe appearance of a little more than ordinary scrupulosity for the sake of public decency ( hear, hear). Earl SPENCER staled he should support the present Administration, because the Premier and a majority of the other Members were favourable to. the Catholic claims. •/ Earl GREY, who spoke from the opposition benches, said, he did not sit. there to oppose his Majesty's Government, but because he did not see in the conduct of lhat Government, or in the principles upon which it was formed ( as far as he had been able to ascertain those principles), sufficient grounds for that confi- dence, which it was necessary for him to see clearly and distinctly, before he could pledge himself to its support. It was the undisputed and indisputable right of his Majesty to choose his own Ministers, but it was equally indisputable that there was a conlroul over that act similar to that which was exercised towards every other prerogative of the Crown ; lor if Parliament did not feel that the choice made by his Majesty had fallenupon individuals entitled1*,) their confidence, it vvas their undisputed right— a right, sanctioned by the best times, and by the wisest men, aud by the ablest Statesmen of Parliament— to object to their appointment. . When he was called upon to join an Administration,. and, by this act, deeply to commit his character, and his hono. urr~ a. ud ifhe saw persons in that Administration, and persons under the direction of it, with whom lie did nf> t ibitik lie could safely'' connect himself-- he was bound to decline a connection whieh lie conld not form without sacri- ficing that character and that honour. He, therefore, considered that motives of a personal nature were among the soundest and best that' could be urged in defence of a refusal to join an Administration, and he considered theuMnost constitutional and just. One of the grounds on which he refused bis confidence to the present Administration was this: he did not see in that Administration — he. did not see in the persons who composed it, or in the principles on w hich it was understood to be formed, any thing to justify him in one step in consequence of the change. to which they o ved their places. .. Was it not true that they had entered into an agreement with his Majesty, as to certain' distinct principles on which the Administration had been, coniposed ?. They had at first heard that this Administrationwas to be formed upon a principle similar to that of which the - Earl of Liverpool was the head. His noble friend ( Lord Spencer) had stated his ignorance of what that principle meant: but it was not so with him ( Lord Grey) — he did understand its meaning; and it was this— the exclusion of the Ca- tholic Question as a measure of Government. To that principle he had always been, and should always be, opposed. It was that which, in 1807, he had rejected, and to which nothingshould induce him toagrce. There wasanother consideration which prevented him giving his support to the new Administrations- he irtcant the principle of division in the Cabinet. The division may not be so unequal as it was { but when be saw the highest law authority in the land opposed to the Catholic Question, and saw him in the Cabinet, it was impossible for him ( Lord Grey) to give any pledge to become tbe generalsupporter of such an Administra- tion. How would the Bight Hon, Gent, at tiie bead of the Administration stand with regard to the Catholic Question ? He would not bring that measure forward, but be would employ all his abilities, and all bis extensive patronage, to forward it; and he would thus do that iu one way, which he would not do in another. He ( Lord Grey) had beard talk of conspira- cies upon this occasion : but if that was the way in which the Catholic Question was to be carried, what name, he would ask, did it deserve? Allusions had been made to the foreign relations of the country; hut before he could allow the Right Hon. Gent. ( Mr. Canning) the exclusive merit of all the measures attri- buted to him, he ( Lord Grey) must know, not only that the Right Hon. Gent, planned and carried those measures into effect without the assistance of his late eoHc- agnes, but also in spite of their efforts. What was the history of the Right Hon. Gent.' s ( Mr. Can- ning's) career? In 1809, he quitted office under circumstances which he ( Lord Grey) did not now wish to revive. He came back in 1814, when he filled the situation of President of the Board of Contronl. He went out again in 1820, on account of the Queen's trial. He ( Lord Grey) believed that the changes that had been produced in the recent policy of the Govern- ment, were not to be attributed to tbe Bight Hon. Gent, but to the altered circumstances ofthe country. He now came to the question connected with South America. To judge of the policy of the Right Hon. Gent, from the style and tenor of a speech which be had made and subsequently published, that policy deserved the greatest reprehension ; because it ap- peared that he connived at the invasion of Spain, but looked, as a security against that invasion, to separation of the colonies from the mother country. Let their Lordships look at the account given of this business by the Right Hon. Gent, himself in 1825, and compare it with his speech in 1826. It was not until two years after Spain had been occupied by the mon- strous aggression of France, that the recognition of ihe independence of South America by England had taken place. Tbe occupation of Spain by the French troops' was completed in 1823: the recognition of South America took place in 1825. And what said the Bight Hon. Gentleman on that subject? " That he had called the New World into existence But he was not the creator of this new world 5 it was an idle and empty boast. These States were never called into existence by any thing but their own exertioivs, and by ibe united voice of this country, which made i impossible for any Minister to resist it. Yet what were the words of the Right Hon. Gentleman ? " if " France occupied Spain, was it necessary, in order if to avoid the consequences of that occupation, that we " should blockade Cadiz? No. I looked another " way. I sought materials of compensation in another ( e hemisphere. Contemplating Spain, such as ou is ancestors had known her, I resolved, that if France 1,4 had Spain, it should not be Spain with the Indies " I called the New World into existence to redress the " balance of the Old." Could any thing he more idle than this empty boast ? This was in 1826. But let their Lordships compare that with what the Right 11 OR. Gent, stated in a note addressed to the Spanish Minister ( the Marquis de Los Rios) in March, 1825. in which he said, if the separation of the Spanish " Colonies was neither our work nor our wish. Tho British Government had no participation in that " separation, which we are still of opinion might have " been a voided if our counsels had been listened to in " time." So that, if the Right Hon. Gentleman' counsels had been listened to, although the French were then in the occupation of Spain, that separation would never have beeu effected ! So this country had offered its counsel to Spain, to avoid a separation from its Colonies ; and so it had also offered like counsel to prevent France from occupying Spain ! And the Right Hon, Gent, thus concluded his very longand very elaborate dispatch to the Spanish Minister: " His Majesty still retains the dispositions, and is still u willing to offer the good offices of His Majesty's " Government, to effect such amicable arrangements * f as may now be possible, between the Government of u His Catholic Majesty and the Colonies of Spain in N<< America." After this short review of the policy of the Right Hon. Gentleman,, lie ( Lord Grey) could see 110 grounds for approving that poliey. The exertions should have been directed to prevent the occupation of Spain in 1823 : our exertions in 1826 were too late to be properly effective; and by this tardiness the- character and power of the country had been lessened With respect to Religiose Liberty, besides the othe wrong steps that the Right Hon. Gent, had taken, he ( Mr. Canning) had positively declared his opposition to the repeal of the Test Act. How any friend of religious liberty could oppose the repeal of that use less Act, he ( Lord Grey) could not understand ; much less could he understand upon what principle, if prin- ciple it could be called, the Catholic Question was to be promoted by such opposition. In what manner doing ail injury to one sect could be productive of benefit to another, he could not comprehend, unless the Right Hon. Gent, by such a course— and in that he ( Lord Grey) was sure he would be disappointed hoped to induce every Protestant Dissenter to make common cause with the Catholics. So much for Reli gious Liberty. And next as to Civil Liberty: lie ( Lord Grey) must confess, that of all the assertions h had ever heard, that most astonished him in which the Right Hon. Gent, now at the head of the Govcrnmen was described as the ardent friend of civil liberty, & as such entitled to the support of those who had spent thei lives in opposing the attacks which had been made upon it. If his ( Lord Grey's) recollection did not fail him, there had not been one man so prominent i supporting every invasion of popular rights, for th hist thirty- five years, as the Right Hon. Gentleman. Under every consideration, therefore, he could not possibly place confidence in the present Administra- tion.— [ The noble lord, whose address excited intense interest, sat down amid loud cheers.] The consideration of Lord Redesdale's resolutions as to the Corn Laws was then postponed to Tuesday, and tbeir Lordships adjourned, HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY having moved that the report on the Game Laws Amendment Bill should be brought up, the measure was opposed by the Earls of MALMESBURY, ABINGDON, and FALMOUTH, and sup- ported by Lord DACRK, tbe Earls of HARROWBY and GROSVRNOR, and Lord WHARNCLIFFE.— On a division, the Bill was lost by a majority of 30 to 29. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. Mr. CANNING gave notice that he should bring forward bis generaJ financial statement on Friday, the 25th instant. Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice of a motion for the repeal ofthe Corporation and Test Acts on the 7th of June. OIL the order of the day for the vIIouse resolving itself into a Committee of Supply, Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGR concluded a long speech, by asking Mr. Cunning— w hether the office of Secretary of State for the Home Department was permanently filled; and whether any comuiutiication had taken place between him ( Mr, C.) and those who had lately joined him from tiie Opposition, with a view to their accession to office, 011 or before the dissolution of tbe lale Ministry ? To the former of these questions, Mr. CANNING de- clined io give an answer, as ME. Beaumont, the member for Stafford, bad given notice of a distinct motion on the subject. Mr. Canning added, that he thanked the Hon. Gent. ( Mr. Beaumont) for the opportunity he would afford Government to explain itself; for that debate he should reserve all he had to say, and neither courtesy nor taunts should extort from him a. single word until that promised motion came forth. With respect to the second question, the Right Hon. Gent, replied—" Though the Hon. Bart, had so strong" an aversion to monosyllables, I hope, though 4 Yes' offended him the other day, he will take 4 No' now. I should not do justice to others, however, if I omitted to say that I did know that in the eve. it of my being placed at the head of the Government, J should have an accession of strength, not by the general admission of a great party to office, bnt by the disinterested" support of^ rime ' individuals of that party. K received, unsought, a. communication, which assured me that there were some individuals, few in number, but very important, by their weight and character, who were disposed to render me cordial, bnt expressly disinterested support. I should do them au act of unpardonable injustice, if I con- cealed the fact, that when I was driven to : straits in the formation of a Government, and when the question arose as to their introduction to office, it originated with nie, and not with them. I have answered this question plainly, and I hope satisfactorily ." The Marquis of TAVISTOCK said that he could not join the existing Administration, until he knew what . measures it proposed to pursue; but he should not nd so exclusively personal as that which appeared to have been formed. Mr. PEEL took the opportunity of disclaiming all ch opposition, and of stating that in the course he had laid out for himself, he acted in concert with no ie. When he first entered the House, after the harige of Administration, he came prepared to sup- port the Right Hon. Member for Liverpool in the same manner as he would have done had h^ been in the Ministry ; but when he saw those who had sat on tbe Opposition benches sitting behind the Treasury seats, he thought he must suspend giving his confi- " ence to ihe new Administration till he knew who were to compose it, and what were the principles pon which the coalition, if there was one, between the Opposition and the Administration, was to be made. He shortly saw that the principles he ( Mr. Peel) had uniformly supported were about to receive a signal triumph, by the accession of nearly the whole of the Noble Lord's ( Tavistock's) friends. The Right Hon. Gent. ( Mr. Canning) had distinctly stated, that he will oppose Parliamentary Reform, and that he will oppose the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. These were his ( Mr. Peel's) principles, and hey received a signal triumph by the accession of the Honourable Gentlemen now on the Treasury Benches. With respect to the Catholic Question, he understood that also remained precisely on the same footing as to principle, though not as to number, in the Cabinet. The Right Hon. Gent, had distinctly said, that it was not to be a Cabinet question. What reason, then, had he ( Mr. Peel) for using rancour and personality, when the principles he had so long maintained were to be so abiy supported? His principles had gained a tri- umph by the accession which the Treasury benches had received from the late Opposition. SirJ. YORKE, Lord CLIFTON, and Sir J. SEBRIGHT expressed themselves in favour of the New Admi- nistration. PRICES OF FUNDS AT THE CLOSE ON MONDAY. j Bank Stock 203| Long Ann. 19 l India Bonds 77 1 India Stock — Ex.

Mr. Sergeant CROSS, this morning, moved the judgment ofthe Court 011 the defendants, Edward Gibbon Wakefield and William Wakefield. The defendants appeared on the floor of the Court. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALB then proceeded to read over the indictment and the Judge's notes of the evidence. This occu- pied nearly two hours, after which, affidavits were put in on the part of tbe two defendants. That of Edward Gibbon Wakefield stated that he had been put to an expense of about £ 3000 on account of this prosecution, and that he had been obliged to raise the money at a ruinous expense, and by the sale of a reversionary life interest in some property to which be was entitled. ' I'he affidavit further stated, that his brother William, the other defendant, had acted in this tran- saction entirely at his ( E. G. Wakefield's) suggestion and re*, quest. Tbe defendant Edward Gibbon Wakefield addressed the Court in person, from a written paper which he held in Ins hand. He inveighed in strong terms on the course pursued against him on the part of the prosecution, and said be under- stood it was the intention of Mr. Turner, On leaving the Court, to petition the House of Lords to pass a Bill of pains and penalties in this case, and to have the marriage declared void. He deprecated a heavy pecuniary sentence as likely to have the effect of subjecting him to perpetual imprisonment. The address, which was of great length, was read by the defendant with the greatest self- possession, Mr. Justice BAYLRY pronounced tbe following judgment, that Edward Gibbon Wakefield be imprisoned for the term of three years in his Majesty's gaol of Newgate, and William Wakefield, for the same period, in Lancaster Castle. HOUSE OF LORDS- MONDAY. On the motion of Lord GODERICH, the thanks of th House were voted to Lord Combermere, and to the oilier officers, with the non- commissioned officers an privates, of both the naval and military services, employed in the late campaigns in India.— The Duke of WELLINGTON took the opportunity of paying- his tribute of approbation to the conduct of his noble friend, Lord Combermere, as well as of the other officers and men employed in these important services The Mdrquis of LONDONDERRY moved an address to the Crown for an account of the expense of its Diplomatic Services at Foreign Courts from the vear 1822 to 1827. His Lordship said, if any ofthe Noble Lords opposite would say, the present government was to be permanent, or would state what were intended to be the future arrangement of ministerial places, he would withdraw his motion. Lord KING pointed out and animadverted on the expenses of diplomacy under Lord Castlereagh and the Noble Marquis's own management, and commented on the violent and extraordinary tone of the Noble Marquis's opposition. The Earl of DARNLEY lamented the personal cha- racter of the opposition now formed against the Administration, and expressed his intention of sup- porting- the present Governments The Earl of LONGFORD said, the extraordinary cha- racter of tbe present opposition arose out of the extraordinary nature of the present Administration ; that Administration was formed of ill- assorted mate rials. Its foundation seemed to him composed of two parts, which he might designate as ten shifting quicksands of political instability, attempted to be united with the mountain of revolutionary desolation. The whole object of the incongruous parties now united as an Administration, was to assist Popish encroachment upon Protestant toleration ; and that object was resisted by those now in opposition, not from a wish to refuse freedom to their fellow- subjects, but to save tbe interests of the country. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. Lord ALTHORP rose lo present, a petition from Mr. Lechmere Charlton against the decision of the Com- mittee on the Ludlow Election ; but the reception of such a petition was objected to, and his Lordship withdrew it.— A great variety of miscellaneous esti- mates were afterwards voted, & the House adjourned.

Yesterday, in pursuance of notice, a public meeting was held in the Town Hall, for the purpose of con- idering what steps should be taken with a view to iiininish the increasing number of Vag'rants and Prostitutes which now infest the Streets of Shrewsbury. The Requisition having been read, the Right Worshipful THE MAYOR opened the business of the meeting, and expressed the anxiety of himself and Brother Magistrates to give erery aid in effecting the object for which the assembly was called. Col. KNYVETT LEIGHTON, in a very feeling address, adverted to the number of vagrants that had for a considerable period infested the town : he observed that there were some cases undoubtedly well calculated to excite feelings of compassion— and there were few, " f any, persons who would wish to withhold benevolent assistance from cases of real distress. It was, bow- ever, notorious that there were persons seeking alms, who were well fitted to earn their livelihood by tbe strength of their arm and by the sweat of their brow: and it was the difficulty that now existed of distin- guishing the real object of charity from the unworthy mendicant, that had impressed upon those with whom the present meeting originated, the necessity of adopting some more certain method than had hitherto presented itself for preventing'imposition : for whether a party now solicited by a mendicant either exercised or Withheld his benevolence, he went home dissatisfied with himself.— Col. Leighton,— after referring fo the beneficial results that had attended the formation of Mendicity Societies in London, Brighton, Cheltenham, and other places of great public resort, by which harity had been distributed with discrimination, work in many instances found for those who needed it, and impostors apprehended and punished,— proposed tiie first six resolutions which will be found in our advertising columns.. The Rev. J. E. COMPSON seconded these Resolutions. The Hon. THOMAS KENYON, after expressing hi acknowledgments to the Mayor, for giving- him the right to address the meeting by having conferred upon him the burgessship of the borough, supported the resolutions. He particularly adverted to the proceedings of the London Mendicity Society, from which it appeared that in the first year ( 1819) of its establishment 4682 cases had been under its cogni- zance ; in the next year, 1820, the number of cases was 4546. As the number of cases decreased so slow- ly, the Society exerted itself to find employment for those who applied for its bounty ; and the consequence was, that in 1821 the number of eases was reduced to 2339; in 1822 they were 2235; in 1823 they were 1493 ; in 1824 they were 1441 ; and in 1825 they wer 1096.— The value ef- sn'ch an Institution would be duly appreciated when he stated, that it had received the approbation of a man, to whom, more perhaps than to any other, the country was indebted— the Right Hon. Robert Peel, late Secretary of State : it had als- received the approbation and support of the 12 Judges. Mr. Kenyon said, he understood there was a pro spect of obtaining temporary employment in Shrews- bury for those wh. o should apply to the Society now proposed to be formed. The several Resolutions having been unanimously agreed to, THE MAYOR called the attention of the meeting to tbe dreadful state at which Prostitution had arrived in tbe town, so as to have become matter of most serious complaint on the part of the respectable inhabitants, and of travellers who were annoyed in their passage through the town. JOSEPH LOXDALE, Esq. ( the Deputy Recorder said, this branch of public nuisance came under the especial cognizance of the parish officers and select vestries of the town : and it was the duty of those officers to indict all houses in which prostitutes were harboured. Some conversation then took place, addressed by the Magistrates to the Parish Officers present .; and it was intimated by the Mayor and Mr. Loxdale, that they should expect the various Parish Officers to adopt the requisite steps for the abatement of the nuisance complained of— the Magistrates expressing their wish to give every assistance in accomplishing* the proposed reformation.

In the House of Commons, on Tuesr'ay, th Committee on the Ludlow Election Petition reported that Lord Clive was duly elected. On Monday week, the celebrated Miss Foote, in her own carriage, accompanied by her father and mother, aud attended by her own servants, arrived at Mr. Reynolds's, the Castle Inn, Bridgnorth, i order to fulfil her Theatrical engagement with Mr Charles Crisp at that town. After performing three nig- hts at the new Theatre there, to overflowing houses, she, on Thursday, left the Castle Inn for Stourbridge, to finish her engagements for th present with Mr. Crisp.

[ FROM THS BRISTOL JOCRSAL] What a delightful state of confidence and quietude the House of Commons has already as- sumed under the new Whig Administration ! Oh, the magic of a name! What persuasion in tbe oratory of George Canning! Whigs, Radicals, and Catholics, are all content to shut their mouths, withdraw their motions, and silently await the performance of the legerdemain of this master con- jurer. Mr. Hume first withdraws his motion re- specting the Church Property in Ireland; then Mr. Fitzgerald's ( the Knight of Kerry) notice for an enquiry into the Union with Ireland, which was intended ( insidiously) " to comprise the whole Catholic Question," is now considered unnecessary, ; ls is Col. Davies's notice to refer the Estimates to a Committee; and Mr. Maberley's annual attack oti the Sinking Fund, and the Dead Weight Act, will not now be pressed. Ali—- all have become nuga- tory ; because, as the latter gentleman expressed himself, " the present Administration1 comprises such elements as hardly ever before belonged to a Government in this country." And these elements are not yet all demented together, nor moulded into the form, which the great Magician contemplates! What halcyon days are about to return! Oh, what a Ministry shall we soon possess 1 Opposition will, indeed, be useless and impotent. The nation will be content, happy, and prosperous. Do but submit, says the Premier, to my measures, my tactics are tortuous to be sure, and, as Mr. Peel says, my friends are " fugacious," but give me breathing time, fair play above board, as Lord Goderich requests, " keep all things as quiet as possible, by shunning every thing which would promote agita- tion, or excite speculation of any kind, wait tilt the next Session of Parliament," and I will then grant a Committee to enquire into our dilapidated finances — and when I am firm in my Seat, you shall see the means I will adopt to restore our contracted and depreciated currency, our distressed shipping inte- rests, and our stagnant trade and manufactures. As to the Catbolie Claims, he must indeed be a dolt who does not discover in the Premier's exaltation the certainty of his attempting, the first opportunity, by some devious course, to throw his whole weight and influence into this great national question. There can indeed be no doubt, that the prime object of this magpie Administration is to facilitate the advancement and the ultimate success of Catholic Emancipation. " His Majesty," says a popular London Print, which has once before, and we trust will again, successfully uphold the Kingly prero- gative, " issued his commands to the Premier, to form a Cabinet upon the precise principles of the preceding oue; but Mr. Canning has produced a Ministry so decidedly opposed to it in principle and construction, that the Very Radicals hail it as a triumph of Whig over Tory principles, and of the Roman Catholic Ascendancy over Prostrate Pro- testantism! We use no exaggeration— look only to the speeches of Burdett and Brougham, who, almost alarmed, and perhaps somewhat giddy with the unexpected opening of the citadel, at their first summons, throw their panoply over the shoulders of the Premier, and, in the ceremony of adoption, beg to assure the country, they mean only to revolution- ize it. by degrees under their new leader." But Mr. Huskisson's speech on Monday last, it is said, has settled the question of the permanency of the Cabinet; and, together with the Shipowners' case, has shown all our complaints of the injuries arising from the Free Trade ajtd Reciprocity Sys- tems to he false aud untenable. That distress in the Shipping Interests did exist, Mr. Huskisson did not deny. But here again the doctrine of submis- sion, and the discipline of patience, are the only remedies to be applied. On many, many points, we say, Mr. Huskisson neither refuted nor attempted to refute the Parliamentary documents ri, d facts upon which Gen. Gascoyne founded his motion. There seem to our mind to have been two different set of documents upon which they were arguing; and the Honourable Minister had skill enough to pitch upon two ofthe weakest petitions of the Shipowners for refutation; as well as tact to avoid all allusion lo the result. With Prussia, also, he allowed, that at present the reciprocity system was uot favourable to us— but have a little patience, gentlemen, aud all will be right. See what an amount of shipping you have recently been building ; you, too, partook of the mania of 1825. Our trade with Newfoundland, likewise, Mr. H. acknowledged had fallen off; tlie undoubted consequence of our new colonial policy. How rapidly and to what an extent this policy is operating, appears front the following Statement of Exports for the last three years to Newfoundland and the Coast of Labrador : 1824 £ 44- 2,077 1825- 319,928 1826 274,114 The decvease is as rapid as the most " severe economist" can reasonably desire. The process which is now going on with respect to Newfound- land, will, in a few years, be developed on a far grander scale, and with infinitely more mischievous effects to the West Indies. Tha effect of the reci- procity treaties on our commercial marine was of a kind to be felt instantly; their effect on our colo nial intercourse will be felt more remotely, will come upon us more insidiously, but in the end must produce consequences, that will carry ruin and dismay through ali the mercantile interests in the empire. The advantages given to the Northern States of Europe are such as cannot be developed or seized upon iu a day. The large mortgages which are at present held on West- Indian property, by English Capitalists, must be transferred to the Capitalists of Antwerp, Amsterdam, Bremen, Dant. zic, & o. before the fatal encroachment on our colo- nial trade is effected. For the present, proprietors of West India property are compelled to ship their goods to this country, to meet the demands of the mortgagees, and consequently, British shipping must be employed in the conveyance. Our treaties have, however, relieved them from the legislative necessity of so doing, and the growing capital of" European Merchants will soon relieve them from the pecuniary necessity, which for a time will par- tially bind them. The Merchants of Germany and the North of Europe are- not insensible to the bene- fits we have opened to them, and they will not be slow to avail themselves of them. The recent revival of the Silk trade, too, of which Mr. Huskisson boasts so much, is to be ascribed, we assert, not to the operation of the principles of free trade, but to deviation from those principles. The improvement is mainly attributable tothe alteration in the Silk Act, which came into operation 011 the 5th January last. Instead of the 30 per cent, ad valorem, the new law substituted a duty per lb. weight 011 the heavier goods and move substantial fabrics, and by the length on those which are lighter, finer, anil more figured ; the new duties, in fact, amounting almost to a prohibition on some of those articles, which would interfere most with our manufactures. Even on our East India Bandanas, which now pay by tbe yard, the duty which on some goods, sold last December, would have been 3s. 9d. is now 6s. and the 30 per cent, is therefore iu fact raised to 55 per cent. This is the true cause of the revival, such as it is, of the silk manu- facture. It springs nol from free trade, but from protection: not front the principles which Mr. Huskisson upholds, but from a return to our ancient system of restriction. That the present Cabinet, should it unfortunately last so long, will attempt to carry the Catholic Question in the next Session of Parliament, is, we think, as certain, as that this same liberal Ministry, will persevere and be supported iu tbe House of Commons in their Free Trade System. But if we are not mistaken, we shall, ore long, see how admirably the British Constitution is balanced by 0111- three Estates in Parliament. Already we can plainly pcrecive the w holesome check that is aris- ing in the House of Lords amongst our ennobled Senators, the sage patricians of our land, and in this branch of the Senate it will be found, thai the curb will he put to the speculative and theoretic doctrines at present so much in vogue iu the Lower House. proposes* licensing Sggtcm. A copy of iS A Bill. ( as amended by the Committee of the House of Commons) to regulate ihe granting of Licences to Keepers of Inns, Alehouses, and Victualling Houses. in England," has been put into our hands; and having perused its contents, we can only express our astonishment that some of tbe enactments therein proposed could ever have received the sanction of any individual, much less of a Committee, of the British Legislature. We Relieve there are no persons who deplore more deeply, or who are more anxious to have a remedy applied, to the disorderly practices of the unworthy members of their body, than the great majority of innkeepers and licensed victuallers; and it will not a little surprise these respectable individuals to learn that a measure is now in progress which will render them amenable to restraints, expenses, harassing- regulations, and penalties, of a nature that must astonish every person, whose attention has at any time been directed to the rules and regulations by vyhich either the licensing or any other system of civil surveillance has hitherto been governed. Respectable innkeepers and licensed victuallers have heretofore been accustomed to have their licences renewed without difficulty ; and we can picture to ourselves their astonishment, when they find, that under the proposed Bill it will be necessary for them to obtain each year, prior to their application for a renewal of their licence, a certificate from the minister of their parish, a certificate from each of the church- wardens, a certificate from each of the overseers, and a certificate from the constable, tythingnian, or peace officer of the parish! ( we wonder the beadle was not included!) And before obtaining' these certificates, the innkeeper or victualler must serve each of she parties with a special notice of his intention to apply for a renewal of his licence !~ How these regulations will operate, may be illustrated by a reference to the populous parish of St. Chad, Shrewsbury ; in which ( there being- 2 constables and 8 parish oncers) it will be necessary for every innkeeper or licensed victualler to give, each year, ELEVEN distinct notices, and to obtain, each year, ELEVEN distinct certificates, before he can apply with safety for a renewal of his licence ; as, in the event of any of the parties refusing to grant a certificate, or of their inserting any thing unfavour- able in the document by them transmitted, an ex- amination of the allegations must take place before the Magistrates.— Tbe vexatious results that ww^ and must arise, under such circumstances, will be apparent without our entering- into further detail.— The burd<- « thrown by this and other clauses ou parish officers will also be self- evident. The Fees payable on obtaining' a renewal of the Licence wiil, under the proposed regulations, be ad- vanced from 6s. 8d. to 12s. tid. ; and when we add to this the expense and trouble that will inevitably attend the due preparation of the requisite notices, obtaining certificates, & c. & c. the sum levied by this indirect mode of taxation will form no trifling- addition to the heavy burden of licences, duties, and other payments, to which innkeepers and licensed victuallers are already exclusively subjected. By the proposed Act, persons who keep howling greens, or who sell any liquor to be drank in their garden or orchard, & c. ( a frequent and very proper custom in the summer months), must have their garden or orchard, & c. specified in their licence, under a penalty of £- 20 and costs.— The same penalty will, of course, attach on persons attending Races, & c. to sell exciseable liquors.— We need hardly point out the door which such a clause ( and others to he found in the proposed Act) will throw open to informers and other scoundrels tbat make it their business to prey upon individuals who may unadvisedly full iuto " a breach of such enactments. By the proposed Act no innkeeper or licensed victualler ( except he is the keeper of a travellers'* inn) will be allowed to draw any liquor before five o'clock in the morning-, or after ten o'clock at nisrh night, without a special permission being granted in his licence from the magistrates, under a penalty for the first offence of ( not exceeding) £ 5 and costs, for the second ( not exceeding) £ 10 and costs, and for the third offence ( not exceeding) £ 50 and costs ; in default of payment in either case, the party to be imprisoned in the house of correction, for the first offence 1 month, for the secoud 3 months, and for the third 6 months. The same penalties attend every branch of offence against the terms of the recognizance ; and if, in any case, the alleged offender shall appeal tothe Sessions, and be there found guilty, the recognizances entered into by him or on his behalf are to be estreated, and he is to be fined, nt the discretion of the Court of Quarter Sessions, in any amount not exceeding- £ 100.— The convictions under any former Act are to be accumu- lative under the New Act. It i3 also enacted, by the proposed Act, that if no other prosecutor appears against an alleged offender, the Licensing Magistrates shall direct their Clerk to prosecute tbe party AT THR EXPENSE OF THE PARISH, such expense being to be charged on the poor rates.— [ We advise parish officers aud rale- payers to pay attention to this clause. j Any proceeding taken against a Magistrate to re- cover a penalty for undue exercise of his authority under the proposed Act, must he taken in one of His Majesty's Courts of Record ; but all proceedings against innkeepers or victuallers must terminate by appeal to the Court of Quarter Session, the power of moving by certiorari being lakeu away by a clause inserted in the Bill. We have said enough of the obnoxious parts of this Rill to arouse public attention ; and we shall now advert to the cure and accuracy with which it has been framed ; nnd we will first observe, that the clause in the proposed Act lo which the marginal reference— t( Notice of application for the RENEWAL of a Licence"— is attached, does not contain one word about the renewal of a Licence!— the word RE- MOVAL" being placed in the situation which ought to have been occupied by the word renewal; and were it not fnr the marginal reference and the schedule placed at the end of the Bill, there would be nothing iu the Rill itself to point out the intended mode of regulating that part ofthe proposed system ! But the finish to this elaborate piece of legislation being the most amusing, we shall extract the con- cluding clause literally : — " And in order to remove doubts as to tbe meaning of cer- 11 tain words in this Act, be it enacted, that the word 4 Person,' " and the word ' Parly,' and the word ' Justice,' and the " words * High Constable,' anil tbe words ' Petty Constable,' " and the words ' Peace Olticer,' and ths words 4 Church 11 Warden,' and the words ' Overseer of the Poor,' and the " words ' Parish Officer,' and the words • Clerk of Justices,' " shall each be deemed to include any number of persons, " parties, justices, high constables, petty constables, peace " officers, church wardens, overseers of tbe poor, parish officers, " or clerks of justices, and of either sex ; antl tbat the word " * House,' and the word ' Notice,' and the word ' Certificate,' " and the word * Licence,' and the word * Adjournment,' and " tbe word ' Day,' and the word ' Time,' and tiie word 1 Place,' " shall each be deemed to include any number of houses, " notices, certificates, licences, adjournments, days, times, or " placesj and that the word3 ' County or Place,' shall be " deemed to include any county, riding, hundred, division, " liberty, city, or town; and that the word ' Rector,' or the " words 1 Officiating Minister,' shall be deemed to include any " rector, vicar, or curate; and the word ' Inn,' shall be deemed " to include any inn, alehouse, or victualling- house; and tbat " the words ' Peace Officer' shall be deemed to include any " high constable, petty constable, tythingman, headborough, " beadle, or bailiff; and tbat the word ' Beer' shall be deemed " to include any ale, beer, cyder, or other exciseable liquor; " and that the word ' Penalty' shall be'deemed to include any " fine, penalty or forfeiture of a pecuniary nature . arid that " the words ' Parish Officer' shall be deemed to include any " church warden, chapel warden, or overseer of the poor; and " that the meaning of the said several wurds shall not be " restricted although the same may he subsequently referred " to in the singular number or masculine gender only." In the margin of this clause the words " Rules fo the interpretation of this Act"' are printed ; and we shall give a few instances of the mode iu which, according to the actual wording of this clause, the Legislators who drew it up have directed it to be translated.— Any person who reads the clause will see that FACH of certain words is to he deemed, & tc and hence it is directed, that EACH of the word- specified is not only to be deemed the singular or plural of the substantive which it really aud on all usual occasions designates, but also the* singular or plural of every other substantive specified in that pa of the clause in which it is used ! so tiiat, according I the rule laid down by this Bill, the word " Rector' 1 to mean " Curate!" and ihe word " Beer" is to mean " Cyder!"— These, however, are but minor points of the clause; for, on a closer examination, it will be found that the words " Petty Constable" tire to mean " Justices^' " Clerks of Justices," " Persons," or ( t Parties !" that the word " House" is to menu Cer tilicates," " Adjournments," " Davs," " Notices " Times," or " i'lnces !" antl lhat EACH" of these words may be used in the same happy mode of legis- lative illustration !— We might pursue this pavt of" lhe subject farther ^ but we have stated enough, we think to prove, tbat instead of being merely entitled " A Bill to regulate the granting of Licences," the pro- posed measure ought also it) have been entitled A liiil to harass anil oppress Keepers of Inns, Alehouses or Victualling Houses, and io regulate the mode murdering the King's English .' THE KING AND THE CHURCH.— At a public dinner of the Clergy of London, on ihe 8th instant, where the Bishops of London, Chester, and Liandaff, and about 150 Clergymen were present, when the; toast of " Church and Kiug" was given ( wilh great applause), Ihe Bishop of London addressed the meet- ing, antl I old them that on ihe occasion of Ihe lale Ministerial changes, his Majesty had graciously sent lo tbe Archbishop of Canterbury and himself, re- questing they would wait on his Majesty. They accordingly did so, antl in the interview wiili which Ihe King honoured them, his Majesty stnted most explicitly, lhat he bail sent for them, ns the heads of the Metropolitan Clergy, iu order, through them, t-. » satisfy their respective Clergy and ( he public at large, what his Majesty's sentiments were with respect to the much. agilaled Catholic Question. His Majesty declared most positively, that he eniertamcil Ibe same sentiments as those of his late revered Father, and those which his Majesty was known lo entertain when Prince Regent. His Majesly further gave as his reasons for those sentiments, that he took precisely the same view of the Coronation Onlli which his revered Father antl his lamented Brother ( Ihe Duke of York) had taken ; and lhat bis Mnjesiy felt convinced lhat nothing could shake or alien, his opinions on this momentous question. His Majesty then commanded the Archbishop of Canterbury anil the Bishop of London lo make these bis sentiments known lo their respective Clergy, in order that no misconception mighl by any possibility exist as In his Majesty's views in the late Ministerial arrange- ments— ihe result of circumstances equally unfore- seen and unpleasant to his Majesty.—( Immense cheers followed this speech of ihe Bishop ) The King held a Court on Thursday at St. James's Palace, at which a Chapter of the Order of the Garter was convened, for the purpose of filling up the vacancies occasioned by the deaths of the Earl of Winchilsea, the Marquis of Hastings, and tho Marquis of Cholmoudeley. The Duke of Leeds, the Duke of Devonshire, and the Marquis of Exeter, were severally elected, and invested by his Majesty with the insignia of the Order. An investiture of the Order of the Thistle was afterwards held, and the Earl of Warwick aud Lord Aboyue were con- stituted members. The news from Portugal, from the Portuguese Papers, and from private letters, is of an interesting and important character. On Sunday, the 29th, in tbe forenoon, a mntiny broke out at Elvas, one of the strongest fortresses in Portugal, about a league and a half from the Spanish frontier, aud three from Badajoz. Four companies df the 8th Infantry marched out of their barracks, without officers, and with colours flying, and followed by a great crowd ofthe lower classes, shouting " Don Miguel and tha Silveiras for ever." They proceeded to the quarters of their Colonel, in the hopes that he Would join them ; but being disappointed in this, they marched towards the Fort de Graca, and were joined try part of the 3d Artillery and tbe 5th Infantry. The 3d Regiment of Cavalry prepared to attack theiri. General Caula, however, refrained for some time from charging them, in hopes that they would soon disperse. This not being the case, a general attack was made in the course of the night, and the mutineers were completely dispersed at an early hour on Monday morning. A considerable number were killed, a great many wounded, and numbers taken prisoners. The rebels fled towards tbe frontiers of Spain. The pretext for the assembling was want of pay. Canada papers received to the 1st inst. explain the late movements aud the discontent in the upper province, which have arisen from the provincial alien law, prohibiting ali foreigners from holding lands. Tbe act has had either an unexpected or retrospective effect. Many of the settlers, in con- sequence, have been deprived of their lands, aud had their prospects of settling completely over- thrown. The discontent is extensive among the natives of the United States settled in Canada. The Annual Meeting of the British arid Foreign Bible Society was held last week, at Freemasons' Hall. A considerable ferment was excited in the Meeting by a proposal made by the well known Mr. Irving, that the meeting should, by a public act, declare that the Committee had been " in error" in circulating the Apocrypha with the Canonical Books, and that they were " exceedingly sorry" for what had been done; See. This, the Rev. Gentleman thought, would reconcile the Scotch seceders from the Society, and bring them back to renewed co- operation. The proposal was met by general disap proval, arid was rejected ; Mr. Irving left the meeting. The expenditure in the past vear was £ fi9,9 « 2; receipts, £ 80,241. The distribution of the Scriptures during the year had been 294,000. The deficiency arising from the secession of Scotland was in reality no more than £ 001. In the past year the expenditure exceeded the income; this year the balance was on the other side; so that, upon the whole, the Society fully maintained its ground. There had been 74 new Branch and Auxiliary Societies formed in the past year. The Bishop of Liandaff has accepted the office of Vice President. A most diabolical and cold- blooded attempt was made a week ago to destroy by fire the heath oi* rather the grouse or. Cannock Chase, in the county of Stafford, one of the lordships of the Marquis of Anglesea. The attempt was in a great measure, we regret to add, successful, as for a distance of wo miles in length, and several hundred acres in breadth, the heath was completely burnt. The mode adopted to extinguish the fire was the employ- ment of about two hundred men, with long sticks, beating the heath until their object was accom plished. A breed of black as well as red grouse hasi been for several years anxiously preserved on these moors, and there is too much reason to suspect that oj fBisfellimeoiso EnteHtgnug. Frederick Augustus IV. King of Saxony, died at Dresden on the 5th inst. after a few days illness. He w as in his 77th year. The " Celestial Empire" ( China) is at the present moment the theatre of an alarming insurrection • and it appears, by the Sincapore Chronicle that a similar rebellion rages in Cochin China. The origin' ofthese commotions is not stated. the mischief to the eggs and sitting birds is very considerable.— Two of the finest covers of the Melton Hunt were last week wilfully set on fire. DREADFUL EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING During the violent storm of thunder and lightning which occurred ou the evening of Monday week, a youii"- man, who was driving a boat horse by the side of the canal, near Wednesbury, was struck with the electric fluid, and falling upon the towing path, died instantly. The horse was also killed at the same time, and fell into the canal.— Same day, at Dnlverton, Somerset, as four men were at work in a field, thev were all struck to the ground by lightning, and also a horse. One of them never rose again, and the horse died the next morning'. It appears lhat the deceased carried a pitchfork, whose prongs attracted the electric fluid; and some idea of the violence of tbe shock may be formed from the fact that his body was stripped of his clothes, which lay around in a thousand fragments; hissilver watch was completely fused, and not a vestige of the steel chain could be found; of his shoes nothing but the sole remained. His companions are in a fair way of recovery. A monthly meeting of tbe Freemen of this city, resident in London, was held on Monday last, when it was announced that the sum of £ 20 had been received from Colonel Davies, aud Mr. Robinson, and also from Richard Griffiths, Esq. the unsuccess- ful candidate at the last election, towards the annual dinner of the Freemen on the eusuiug 29th of May. We understand that Mr. Robinson, although com- plaining bitterly of the extravagant cost of the late contest, positively avows his determination again to offer himself upon a dissolution. That Colonel Davics is equally determined to again seek the " distinguished honour" is fully understood by his friends, and we believe there is not the least doubt of it; and Mr. Griffiths* intentions again to try the event of a struggle are placed beyond all question, not only by the act we mention above, but from other steps taken to cultivate the good graces of the electors, and to insure their suftrag- es in be'iulf of that gentleman.— Worcester Herald.

The !{ pJormadoH hi Ireland. State of Parties und avowed Coalition of Mr. Canning and the ll'/ iigs. [ FROM A LONDON PAPER.] Both Houses of Parliament have exhibited scenes 1/ micummun inlerest and anxiety during Ihe wlioW- w'eik, for which we refer lo the debates. The dis. tussious have tended, and indeed been distinct drawn lu one point, ihe explanations of ihe Ministeis who have needed, and of ihose who have come inlo their places. These cx- phmatiuus have not alwajs been accompanied with ordinary courtesy and good manners; ihey have been marked with a great deal of virulence and party spirit, and are rather lo be considered as provocatives lo new conflicts than as atonements or palliations foi old grievances. Allen- lion will principally be drawn to ihe explanations of Mr. Peel, Lord Eldon, anil the Duke of Wellington. They juslify their retirement' from oSice upon Ihe groundsw hich we have often stated them to employ, that Mr. Canning was an unsafe, an indirect, and an insincere, man ; lhat his real aim was to destroy the main principle of Lord Liverpool's Cabinet, ( which was to preserve a fixed neutrality on the Catholic Question), however he might affect to preserve its outward structure; lhat it was quite clear that this question was now to be forced upon the country, to the manifest injury of the Protestant ascendancy; and that the King's conscience would be ultimately harassed upon the subject. They add, moreover ( for we merely adopt their language, and uot our own), that Mr. Canning has at len » th succeeded in causing au explosion of the train laid for the blowing up the old system of Tory politics, and has paved the way for triumphant Whiggism. That, for the gratifica- tion of bis ambition, and the love of place, he has thus abandoned the principles of bis youth, and coalesced with a party, with which he holds no one question in common but the Catholic Question. But the seceding Ministers reserve their most vituperative eloquence for the Whigs themselves, whom they reproach with every kind of meanness aud tergiversa- tion. lu order lo crawl into place ( say they) under the lead of Mr. Canning's intrigues, they lash them selves to his stern, and condescend to be lowed into port by the aid of the unexpected breeze which ( ills his sail. This junction is as unnatural, they repre sent, as a King's revenue ship lowing in a smuggling euttcr. It debases him that gives the assistance, an him that receives— Bul it is not necessary to repeat what will be found in the debates themselves. The question is— Will the Ministry lasl? Can it hold together under ibe frowns and discountenance of the Aristocratic Lords who fill the benches of one House, and the indignation, the jealousy, and compacted force of the Boroughmoutrers, who range themselves on the Opposition seats in the Commons? To this question, now so frequently put, we answer, that the event is as yet very doubtful; but one thing we can see, and we observe it with deep regret, lhat Mr. Canning is afraid to stand alone, and that his object is, undoubtedly, lo bring iu covertly a Whig Administration. For what purpose, we would ask, does he other- wise construct a merely provisional Government, and keep so manv Treasury Seals already vacant? It is now broadly rumoured, that the Marquis of Lans- down is either to succeed Mr. St urges Bourne or Lord Dudley; thai Mr. Tierney, Mr. Calcraft, and Mr. Abercrornbie are to be invited into place, and tbat Lord Holland is also to be solicited to join in ihis coalition. But that at present every thing is probationary. The Whigs musl first justify them selves by their fidelity and adhesion to their new master, and win iheir way to power by serving. upon the official benches with flexibility aud patience. Now, upon a scheme of Government thus formed, we have only to add what we have frequently before staled,— it is disreputable to the Whigs to earn power and place in this way, aud it is not creditable to Mr. Canning to seek to support himself by their assistance. If the Whigs had come in upon iheir own strength, afler conquering from the Crown, and the- majority of the House, some public principle, whether Roman Catholic Emancipation, Reform in Parliament, the Retrenchment of Public Expenditure, tbe reducing of tbe Royal Prerogative,— or, upon any other great public measure, for which they have been for years combating together, and which they had pursued through good and evil report ; if thev had obtained these in this legitimate way, they would have been gladly received. They would have fought the battle and prevailed. But at present they consent lo unite with a Government in opposition to all these mea- sures— in opposition to the fust principles and vital objects of Whiggism. The Catholic Question is not to be made a Government measure at all, accord- ing to the Royal stipulation with Mr. C.; and yet the Whigs have sworn, a thousand times, that they would not form any part ofa Cabinet in which, it was not made an absolute condition. Parliamentary Re- form Mr. Canning opposes, and threatens to contend against in the deadly breach. Next, as lo public expenditure, Mr. Canning has been the patron of the most lavish disburse'menu— witness, his foreign diplo- macy,. which costs the nation nearly half a million yearly; as much, indeed, as the annual expenditure of tbe American Government altogether.— How can il be expected lhat Mr. Canning, the great champion of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, of the punish- ment of the Manchester Rioters, and whose eloquence was loudest in embellishing the praises <* f the Six Acts— How can n be expected that he w ill unite in any one measure which the Whigs have so consra- ntly represented as essential to a pure House of Commons, and a popular Government ? Row then, we demand, can Mr. Canning invite this party into his Cabinet without a sacrifice of his own principles? and how can the Whigs accept place under him without a most scandalous renunciation of their own? [ FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.] On oue point at least, the new House of Commons has spoken tlie sense of the country ; it has decided against what is called Catholic ' Emancipation. Our readers will not expect ns to Commit the absurdity of examining in detail the arguments used by the Catholic - advocates. The latter merely ad- mired what had been before ten thousand times icfu- ed ; iu truth, they never, oil any former occasion, argued the question so miserably. The stale, v. orn- oirt treaty of Limerick— the doctrine that the dis- abilities ought to be removed on the ground of abstract right— aud the threat that the Catholics would rebel if their demands were not complied with — were the things chiefly insisted on. They furnish their own refutation. We must, however, bestow serious notice on part ofthe speech of one of tbe Catholic advocates. M Plunkett made a bitter attack on the Reformation shut is now in progress in Ireland; bis example has since been followed in other quarters ; aud we suppose, il will henceforward be the fashion for every enemy of the disabilities to be likewise the enemy of the spread uf Protestantism. Perhaps this may be called for by consistency. After what we have said ou various occasions, in the last three years, in favour of such a Reformation, it would be a base neglect of duty in us weie we to pass in silence, or without severe animad- version, this attack of tbe Irish Attorney- General. Putting the Catholics, and a few of the most worth, less of their advocates, out of sight, all men admit m the abstract, thai Catholicism is a most pernicious religion. It is matter of notorious fact, that il is/ in. both doctrine and practice, bitterly hostile to civil and religious liberty ; that it deprives ihe layman of various most important civil and religious rights, and gives lo ibe priest an unjust and dangerous portion of authority; and that it has the most injurious effects on society. It is known to all. and admitted by the Catholics themselves, that its worst parts are not founded upon the Holy Scriptures, bul arc the inventions of men ; and it is evident to all, lhat these pails were invented to enable its priesthood to plun- der aud enslave the laity. The truth is before the eves of every one, that in every part of the globe where this religion is ihe prevailing one, the priests keep the great body of the laity in blind, barbarising bondage, which is destructive to the best interests of the individual and llie community. What does al! ibis insistibly prove ? Thai Catholicism ought not to exist in- its- present- form;— that its being so far refoimed as" to be diVest'ed of those parts which are at vaiian. ee with the Scriptures, and hostile to the weal of society, would yield incalculable benefit lo man- kind;— and that every friend of his species, of civil aud religious liberty, of natural and acquired rights, of all tbat is valuable to individuals and nations, ought to do his utmost in favour of such reformation. Looking especially at Ireland, all sides admit it to be a mighty public evil, that so large a part of its inhabitants are Catholics. If its people were Pro- testants, it would be free from iis present divisions and distraction5;- the Catholic Question, which is now used as the instrument for filling it with almost every kind of evil, aud for placing its internal peace, and she peace between if and Britain, in peril, would be unknown, if its people were Protestants, ihey would be free from spiritual tyranny ; they would be acces- sible to instruction and civilization; the subject would hot be arrayed against the ruler, and the tenant against the landlord ; neighbour would not be seeking the ruin of neighbour,— society would be placed under those bonds, feelings, and regulations, without which it can never know prosperity. Looking at the United Kingdom, five or six mil- lions of its population are inveterately hostile lo the Established Church, aiid are clamouring for the de- sti uclion of this church, in one of its leading divisions — nearly one- third of its inhabitants are inflamed wilh religious and political fury against the remainder, are practically under the controul of the Pope of Rome, are calling for the repeal of the Irish Union, are maintaining that the Romish priesthood has a • ighl to prohibit the reading of the Scriptures, to destroy the relations between landlord and tenant, to elect the Members of the House of Commons, anel to be the supreme depositary and guide of political power;— iu a- word, are dangerously disaffected, and are holding principles flally opposed to the Constitu- tion and civil and religious liberty, and tending to the dismemberment of the empire. This Tearful state of things would be unknown, were the people of Ireland Protestants. If all this do not irresistibly prove, that every friend of Ireland and Britain-— of Ibe Constitution— of popu- lar rights atid liberties— and of the unity and pro- sperity of the empire, ought to do his utmost to rt- fofm the Catholics of Ireland,- no such thing as proof can he known or imagined. Now what is, in reality, the Reformation which is taking root in Ireland ? Is it something exclusively religious ? Is it merely a change of creed, in respect of speculative and non essential matters, and having nothing to do with tbe conduct and temporal interests of society ? Is it nothing more than a conflict of abstract doctrines, from which the State can reap no benefit; and in which, the triumph of the one side, will be the same to tbe State as the triumph of the other? No, il is that Reformation of Catholicism which is so imperiously necessary. The people are passing from one church to another, bul they are still Christians,— they are purging their religion of its errors and impurities,— they are making themselves acquainted with the Bible, and harmonizing their religion wilh it, but not throwing it away for a new one,— they are exchanging slavery for freedom, dis- affection for loyalty, barbarism for instruction, and turbulence for peace and order. When this Reform- ation shuil reach iis completion, it will purge Ireland of spiritual tyranny, render the Union a substantial reality, and yield to tbe empire benefits of the firsl magnitude, and of almost every description. that laymen have not the smallest right of private' judgment in religious matters; and this, forsooth, is not tyranny! They prohibit the general reading of ihe Scriptures, take tbe Bible by compulsion from the dwellings of their followers, antl, by spiritual terrors, prevent parents from sending their Children to the schools, anel compel the freeholders to vote as they please; yet alt this, forsooth, is not tyranny! According to the fair, legitimate, and nat ural meaning of the English language, the Romish Cluy- eh of ire- land is what Lord Farnham called it ; and we are very sure that the English " people will never suffer the meaning of their language to be changed by such men as Mr. Plunkell. THS AHAB HOBBES. The Arabs, who abound on the Persian shore, set a very high value on their best animals. Sir J. Malcolm, in his Sketches of Persia, relates the following- anecdotes:— 44 The Arabs place still more value on their mares llian on their horses : but even ihe latter are sometimes esteemed beyond all price. When the envoy, returning from his former mission, was encamped near Bagdad, an Arab rude a bright bay horse, of extraordinary shape and beauty, before his tent, Jill lie attracted his ',,.< » Ciiv [ loin />• fi c 1/ <-•/! ir lt*> u mi Iri « e> ll 1111) 1 — 4 What MONDAY, MAY 7.

On examination he was found rising three ; this, from his size and perfect symmetry, greatly enhanced his value. The envoy said, 4 I will give you fifty tomans.'* 4 A liille more, if you please,' said the fellow, apparently entertained. 4 Eighty !-— a hundred !' He shook bis head and smiled. The offer came at last to two hundred tomans! 4 Well,' said the Arab, seemingly satisfied, 4 you need not tempt me any farther— it is'of no use; you are a fine Elehee ; you have fine horses, and camels, and mules; and I am told yon have loads of silver and gold ; now,' added lie,' you want niy colt, but you shall not have him for all you have got.' So saying, lie rode off to the desert, whence he haef Come, and where he, no doubt, amused bis brethren* with an account of what had passed between him and ihe European envoy. Inquiry was made of some officers of the Pacha of Bagdad respecting this young- man ; they did not know him, but conjectured that, notwithstanding his homely appearance, he was the son or brother of a chief, or perhaps himself the head of a family ; and such Arabs, | they said, when in comparative aiKuence, no money could bribe to sell a horse like the one described., , 44 I was one day relating- the above story to Abdulla Aga, the former governor of Bussorah, who was at Abusheher, having been obliged to fly from Turkey. He told me that, when in authority* he several times had great trouble in adjusting- disputes among the Arab tribes, regarding a horse or mare which had been carried off by one of them from another; not on account of the value of the animals, thai having- been often offered ten- fold, but from jealousy of their neighbours' becoming- possessed of a breed of horses which they desired to remain exclusively in their own tribe. An Arab Shaikh or chief, he told me, who lived within fii'ly miles of Bussorah, had a favourite breed of horses. He lost one of his best ma, res, and could not for a long- time discover wheiher she was stolen or had strayed. Some time afterwards, a young- man of a different tribe, who had long- wished to marry his daughter, but had always been rejected by the Shaikh, obtained the lady's consent, and eloped wilh her. The Shaikh and his followers pursued ; but the lover and his mistress, mounted on the same horse, made a wonderful march and escaped. The old chief Bwore that the fellow was either mounted upon the devil, or the favourite mare he had lost. After hi return he found, on enquiry, the latter was the case that the lover was the thief of his mare as well as of his daughter, and thai he had stolen the one for the purpose of carrying off ihe other. He was quite grati- fied to think he had not been beaten by a horse of another breed, and was easily reconciled to the young- man, in order that he might recover the mare, which appeared an o bjeot about which he was more solicitous than his daughter." * " A toman is a nominal coin, nearly the value of a pound sterling."

And now, what means are used lo compass the Reformation? The Attorney- General for Ireland calls il a crusade; and it might be imagined from this, that tbe work of conversion is effected by the cannon and bayonet— that armies are the teachers, and bullets the arguments. Our readers, however, may be assured, tbat it does not employ a single soldier. Perhaps then tbe Catholics are coerced into Protestantism by the civil power,— perhaps the police drags . them to the churches, and pommels them into recantation,— perhaps they are converted by the peril of legal exaction and torture? No. The most bitter enemies of the Reformation have not ventured te> insinuate that compulsion is resorted lo, of any description. What then are the means? Societies, consisting of private individuals, establish schools, in which the Scriptures are read, from which the peculiarities of both Protestant and Catholic creeds are excluded, aud to which none but children sent voluntarily by their parents are admitted. Societies, consisting of private individuals, hold public meetings, for tbe purpose of distributing tbe Scriptures, without note or comment., to such Protestants and Catholics as are willing to receive them. Societies, consisting of private individuals, give religious tracts to such Catholics, as, of their own free- will, will accept them. The Protestant clergy preach against Catholicism, and hold disputations with the Catholic priests, their auditors being all voluntary ones. These, courteous reader, are the means employed to compass the Reformation. People of the Old School wiil here exclaim,— What, in the name of English religion, and English rights, and English common sense, could a Member of the Government find in all ihis to excite his animosity ? They must be told that the Attorney- General for . Ireland affected to ground his attack on the discovery that Lou! Farnham, round whose residence the Re- formation commenced, had publicly charged the Romish Chni( h wilh bigotry and tyranny, aud that tbe Bible meetings and disputatious of the clergy would endanger the peace of Ireland. Lord Farnbam is a man e> f the right stamp, a sterling patriot; one who finds his party in bis principles,' and who adheres to these, careless wbe ther people in office be with or against him. We wish from our souls that such men were far more numerous than they are. He applied precisely those terms to the Romish Church which the laws apply to it; and we Cannot but think tbat the statutes of the realm are somewhat better authority in matters of definition than Mr. Plnukett. Let any man look at ihe history of this church, past and present ; let him examine its present, conduct in Ireland. Its pri sts openly declare that the regular clergy have no spirit- ual character; and this, forsooth, is not bigotry! Thry leach Iheir flocks, that there is no salvation out of I heir church, aud ibat every Protestant is a heretic; and this, forsooth, is not bigotry! They maintain If we survey this little world, vast in our idea, but small compared to immensity, we shall find it crusted over with property, fixed and moveable Upon this crusty world subsist animals of various kinds; one of which, something short of six feet, moves erect, seems the only one without a tail, and takes the lead in the command of this property. Fond of power, and conscious that possessions givp it, he is ever attempting, by force, fraud, or laudable means, to arrive at both. Fixed. property bears a value according- to its situation ; 10,000 acres in a place like London and its environs, would be an immense fortune, such as no man ever possessed ; while 10.000 in some parts of the globe, though well covered with timber, would not be worth a shilling: no king to govern, no subject to submit, no market to exhibit property, no property to exhibit: instead of striving to get possession, he would, if cast on the spot, strive to get away. Thus assemblages of people mark a place with value. Moveable property is of two sorts; that which arises from the earth with the assistance of man ; and the productions of art, which wholly arises from his labour. A small degree of industry supplies the wants of nature ; a little more furnishes the comforts of life; and a farther proportion affords the luxuries. A man, by labour, first removes his own wants; and then, with the overplus of that labour, purchases the labour of another. Thus, by furnishing a hat for the barber, the hatter procures a wig for him- self; the tailor, by making a coat for another, is enabled to buy cloth for his own. It follows that the larger the number of people, the more likely to cultivate a spirit of industry, and the greater its pro- duce; consequently, the more they supply the wants of others, the more lucrative will be the returns to themselves. It may be asked, what is the meaning of the word rich? Some have termed it a little more than a man has; others, as much as will content him; others again, the possession of a certain sum, not very small. Perhaps all are wrong. A man maybe rich, possessed only of one hundred pounds; he may be poor, possessed of one hundred thousand. Me alone is rich, whose income is more than he uses. Industry, though excellent, will perform but. half the work ; she must be assisted by economy ; with- out this, a ministerial fortune will be defective These two qualities, separated from each other, like a knife from the handle, are of little use; but like these, they become valuable when united. Economy without industry will rarely appear in a whole coat; industry without economy will appear in rags. The first is detrimental to the community, by preventing the circulation of property; the last is detrimental to itself. It is a singular remark, that even industry is sometimes tbe way to poverty. Industry, like a new cast guinea, retains its sterling value; but like that, it will not pass currently til! it receives a sovereign stamp-; economy is thestamp which gives it currency.— I well knew a man who began business with £ 1500. Industry seemed the end for which he was made, and in which he wore himself out. While he laboured from four in the morning till eight at night, his family consumed twice his produce. Had he spent less time at his trade, and more in teaching lessons of frugality, he might have lived in credit. Thus the father was ruined by industry, and his children have, for many years, appeared on the parish books. Some people are more apt to get than to keep. Though a man, by his labour, may treat himself with many things, yet he seldom grows rich. Riches are generally acquired by purchasing the industry of others. He who buys the labour of one hundred people, may acquire ten times as much as by his own. What, then, has the capricious damsel Fortune to do in this chain of argument ? Nothing. He who has capacity, attention, and economy, has a fortune within himself. She does not command him— he commauds her. horses hung back till tliey arrived at the Castle Pole, when they overhauled the rest with apparent ease. The rider of Gros de Naples, however, fearing- to trust to Burlesque, shot a- head, and beat the others, except- ing-. Burlesque, by a length. Just as the horses were about to start for this race, Sir W. Wynne's bay filly Effie, hy some accident, threw her rider; he was not, however, materially injured, but mounted again, and led the others a tough pull for it, A Sweepstakes of 15 sovs. each : two miles.

Messrs. Pope and Maguire, on the subject ofthe points at issue between the Churches of Eng- land and Rome: and the following description of Mr. Pope, the Protestant advocate, taken from Saunders's News Letter, will be read with interest: 44 Now, that ihe most interesting discussion between the Rev. Fi. Pope, and his talented opponent, is ended, it. might not be unacceptable to receive, from a faithful witness, a characteristic outline of tiie distinguished Protestant champion. Superior to sophistry and quib- bling himself, Pope scarce descends from bis'intelleetual eminence to notice them in others— acute and intrepid in canvassing and rebutting pointed, arguments— dex- terous iu wielding the legitimate arms of plain direct reasoning— with ingenious scorn he repels the puny cavils of objectors ; contending for the sake of truth, he never shrinks from recognizing the justice of opposition, when unsupported by error. His acquaintance with scripture is vast, his ability in searching out, and ad- vancing appositely the truths of the Sacred Volume, amazing— his researches into the archives of ancient fathers, and modern divines of every sect and denomina- tion, exceeding great— his diction chaste and elegant, bis metaphors easy and natural, his imagery sparing but vivid. His eloquence, when uncurbed by unra- velling knotty objections, splendid and luminous; but chiefly when lie touches on the wondrous ways of Provi- dence and the stupendous love of the Deity- to an utterly depraved and perishing world— then, indeed, the peals of hi deep toned and sonorous voice rivet attention, and enforce entrance to the inmost soul ; while Iiis tall commanding figure, his dignified deportment, combined with his dark complexion, and black locks curling over his sunken and emaciated countenance, impress the lie- holders with the idea of something sanctified and more than human. In such awful and solemn moments, his attitude is fearfully great and imposing. In a word, in Pope we behold a character worthy of all respect spurning with Christian contempt the follies and vani- ties of life." M r. Maguire ( snvs another writer) has little to qualify him as the opponent to so wonderful a being as Mr. Pope, but a talent of making wrong appear right, turning light into darkness, bold at assertion, and dis- playing much seeming confidence in his powers; — all of which have been acquired from education and initia- tion as a Jesuit— which society, vou must be aware, considers that every thing is lawful, in act or doctrine, so that it enables them to carry the object immediately in view. They seem to have passed a resolution of adopting a third clause into the old adage— 44 All is fair in love or ? ea/-"— or Jesuitry! Such a man, however, from the sketch given of Mr. Pope's peculiar talents, could make but a feeble stand before the tremendous and searching powers of his opponent; and the result of the discussion must be most gratifying to tbe friends of true religion. An authorized account of HV^' hieeting is now under course of publication,^ signed by the par- ties immediately concerned, and the decision on the matter is left before the public. May it be the means of dispersing the clouds of error from the minds of ihe mass, and lhat the words of scripture may be realized— 44 the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light." In the beginning of this month, as one of the oyster vessels was returning to Gorey, in the island of Jersey, at night, she struck on a rock, and went down. The crew, however, got to a rock at. the ebb tide, and, having saved a little powder from the sinking vessel, kindled it by small quantities at intervals, and with loud cries endeavoured to make their situation known. At this time some fishermen were at work on the shore, and saw the signals of the unhappy men, arid heard their, shouts; but, owing to a notion that what they heard and saw proceeded from the ghosts of wretched mariners, which were said to frequent the coast in bad weather, instead of rendering aid to their poor fellow- creatures, they were seized with affright,, and hastened to their homes, whilst the whole of the poor sufferers, who might easily have been rescued, perished 011 the flowing of the tide. Southampton Herald. The fact of Woodcocks occasionally breeding in this country has been disputed by some naturalists; but that such is really the case, has been proved by a circumstance which has recently come within our own knowledge. On Saturday last, 3 cat killed, and successively brought into a cottage at Flaxley, in this county, two young birds of this species, evi- dently just taken out of the nest. They were subsequently given up to a gentleman in the neigh- bourhood, who sent them to this city to bo preserved as a curiosity, and we have been favoured with a sight of them. They appear to be about a month old, nearly full- fledged, and, in all probability, had they remained unmolested a very few days longer, would have attained sufficient plumage and strength to have evaded the attacks of their feline destroyer. — Gloucester Journal. A singular circumstance occurred at Eton a short time since. In consequence of the death of an elderly widow of tbe name of Coher, who kept a shop in the general line, between the two Eton bridges, the executors under her will determined to dispose of the shop for the benefit of the legatees. A purchaser was soon found, at whose desire the shop and premises were to be cleared, for his possession. In a small sugar closet, in a corner of the shop, was found a cask of elderberry wine, standing- upon an old deal box. The cask bein:^ taken away, one of the executors observed that the deal box might be left for firewood, and was about to quit the place, when the other called him back, for that the box appeared to contain something. It was accordingly opened, and to their astonishment, they found seven hundred and eighty- five guineas, and notes to the amount of seven hundred ancl eighty five pouuds! Among the latter were four- teen £ 50 notes. The sequel of the story may be related in a few words:— there being no document among the effects of tbe old lady relative to the newly- found treasure, several disputed claims have been laid to it,— and it is now in Chancery ! Extraordinary and almost romantic as it will appear, the factory and warehouse of Messrs Wikeley and Co. of Howden, have been a fourth time broken open. Fortunately, the proprietors, alarmed at the desperate and repeated depredation: on their property, had set a watch of three or four men, in the interior of the factory, every night since the third attempt. On Monday night week, between twelve and one o'clock, the watch heard someone taking out a window; they prepared to receive the thief, but it being exceedingly dark, and a large room full of goods, they could scarcely tell where the robber had placed himself; at length, thinking they saw a shade of some person by the window, they called upon him to speak and surren- der. The man returned no answer, and attempted to escape by the way he had come. On their en- deavouring to prevent him, he struck violently with something, which afterwards proved to be a hatchet, which he had sfblen from an outhouse in a garden near the place, and wounded one of the watch, tho' not severely. They then fired a pistol, only loaded with powder, by the flash of which they clearly saw his and their own situation ; but still he refused to give in, until they had given him three or four severe wounds on the head with an axe which he had left on a former occasion iu the place, and snapped another loaded pistol at him three times, which missed fire, and they also broke a scythe in the affray. At length he was secured, and when brought to the light turned out to be one Robert Steele, of Kelfield, near this city, and formerly of Howden, where he was born. He had long been considered a dishonest character, but no one thought him the desperate one he has proved. He was taken before P. Saltmarshe, Esq. the Magis- trate, on Wednesday, where, a* well as before he went, he made a full confession of his having broken into and robbed the place twice before, but denies being concerned iu the first robbery. Once he was accompanied by two Irish packmen, and he has given full particulars of the property they stole, which has been corroborated by finding the goods. He was fully committed to York Castle for trial at the next Assizes.— York Courant. After the Battle of Salamanca, His present Majesty addressed the following letter to His Grace the Duke of Wellington :— " Carlton House, July 3, 1S13. 44 My dear Lord, — Your glorious conduct is beyond' all human praise, and far above my reward. I know, no language the world affords worthy to express it. 1 feel 1 have nothing left to say, but devoutly to offer uj/ my prayers of gratitude to Providence, that it has, iir its omnipotent bounty, blessed my country and myself with such a General. You have sent me, among the trophies of your unrivalled fame, the staff of a French Marshal, and , I send you in return that of England. The British Army will bail it with enthusiasm; while the whole universe will acknowledge those valorous efforts which have so imperiously called for it. That uninterrupted health, and still increasing laurels, may continue to crown you through a glorious anel long career of life, are ihe never ceasing' and most ardent wishes of, my dear Lord, your very sincere and faithful friend, * G. P. R." The following is an Extract of a Letter from Paris: 44 We have, on this side of the water, been much surprised, and astonished at your change of Ministry, and above all at the language in your London Journals, relative to the Duke of Wellington, for he is the only one of that Ministry, whose name and exploits are known to mankind at large; the others are only known lo their own country. The King of England has, with- out doubt, his reasons for his own decision, and no one has a right to question them, but, that Englishmen iu rcneral, who boast so much of their power and opu- lence, as well as of their naval and military glory, should so soon forget the very individual, whose genius and good fortune has raised them to a pitch they never before experienced, is indeed both extraordinary and unaccountable. But such was the case in the time of your great Marlborough, and such is but too often the case in mercantile nations, where jealousy of military pre- eminence obliterates in a moment the recollection of services, however conspicuous or valuable. With reaped to ourselves, there is not a single being, whether Royalist, Liberal, or Ultra Royalist, who does, uot feel his heart vibrate at the very mention of the once great Napoleon. They consider, iu one comprehensive and liberal view, the extraordinary actions of the general, and the man, and the glory that can never perish, by which he ennobled the French name. In England, every thing transceudant, seems to be comprehended in the word Statesman, and if a man has a head to devise, and a tongue to express with eloquence, he is at once the idol of the English. You have doubtless many excellent Statesmen, but you have not another Duke of Wellington. It is, therefore, astonishing to hear these censorious Journalists, seated in their gloomy cells, endeavour to pull down ihe transcendaut achievements of their own countryman. He perhaps pays little attention to them, but it certainly must be gratifying to him to know that amongst his former enemies, and by those w ho have been opposed to him in the accomplishment of those great events which will descend to the latest posterity, he is held in esteem and honour." The late Lord Chancellor's Penury.— How the fact stands in regard lo this pari of bis character, may be judged from the following anecdotes, the truth of which is well known to the bar. An amiable and learned judge of the King's Bench had got so involved in debt, tbat he was on the eve of being compelled to quit Europe, and endeavour to mend a broken fortune in India. Tbe bar, of w hich he was a great favourite, saw bul one way to retain him. They opened a subscription to relieve him from his embarrassments, and succeeded. The subscription paper was firsl presented to the Chancellor, out of compliment. He put nothing down, but told the applicants to go round, and try what could be done, and come to him when their round was finished. I bey did so with very slight expectations. They were asked how much they had got. The answer was, some hundred pounds above £ 7000. How much do they want? It was impossible to effect what they purposed with less than £ 11,000. The venerable old nobleman without saying a word, took a slip of paper and wrote a cheque 011 his banker for the difference ! His Avarice.— A barrister of great eminence had got deeply involved, from various causes, and, to add to his difficulties, bis business had almost entirely left him. As a temporary resource, he determined to sell his valuable law library, and offered the refusal of it to the Chancellor, who instantly paid him £ 900, the sum asked for it. He then asked his Lordship when he should send home the books— and what was the answer of a man whom hackneyed scribblers would insinuate to be a miser? His Lordship told him he really had more books already than he had time to read, and Serjeant B. might just as well keep them. So much for ihe ex- Chancellor's penuriousness. P& OQFS OF AFFECTION.— NO. 2.— Sir F. Bur- deit and Mr Canning— In 1821, Sir F. Burdett was imprisoned in the King's Bench, for writing a cer. tain letter relative to the Manchester Riot.—- While in confinement, a meeting of Parliamentary Reform- ers took placeat which Alderman Wood ( then Lord Mayor) presided. Sir F. Burdett, being of necessity absent, addressed a letter to the Chairman, and, among the comments on the conduct of the Anti- Reformers, it contains the following passage: 44 Gentlemen, that Mr. Canning, 1 mention him ng the champion of the party, a part for the whole, should defend to the utmost a system by the hocus pocus tricks of which he and his family get so much public money, can cause neither me nor any man suspicion or anger: ' For ' lis their duty, all the learned think, 1 To espouse the cause by which ihey. eat and drink.'' " A Correspondent says, that he knows by experience that all kinds of furs, such as ladies' muff's, tippets, trimmings, beaver bats, & c. when put by in any kind of wood or paper box, will breed moths very soon; but in tin boxes, he says, ihey may remain for years without injury. BOTANICAL QUESTION.— Are all plants the result of the germination of a seed 011 virgin earth and vegetable mould? It is undoubtedly a very remark- able phenomenon that the earth, when dug to the depth of eight or leu feel, or more, produces all sorts of plants, provided it is advantageously exposed to tbe sun; but what is more extraordinary, is, that this new vegetation frequently affords plants of l^ inds which have never been remarked iu tbe country. It is natural to ask, whence come these plants • Can it be admitted that the seeds of those new plants were contained in the several kinds of earth? But could all those seeds, which bad been perhaps above three thousand years under ground, without having ever be: en exposed to tbe action of the sun, have, preserved the power of generating? If we strew ashes on high anel arid heaths, we should see some time afterwards clover and vetches growing there, though those twe> plants had never before been seen in those places. Shall we believe that the seeds of the clover and vetches were in tbe ground, and only waited for a stimulus lo germinate ? But how did it come there? We know that high and arid heaths never produce clover; it cannol therefore be considered as proceeding from a plant which formerly grew there. But even should we admit the possibility that these kinds of eartlrmay contain clover seed, this opinion cannot be maintained in 6ome parts of East Friesland, where wild clover ia made to grow by strewing pearl ashes on peal marshes. — Bulletin Universel des Sciences.
