LAMERT'S CELEBRATED CORDIAL ML1 OF ZURA; OR PHG5NIX OF LIFE, AND GRAND RE- ANIMATOR OF NATURE : A most convenient, safe, and infallible Remedy for Nervous and Asthmatic Disorders, Inward Wast- ings, Lowness of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Pal- pitation of the Heart, Oppression of fhe Breast, Trembling or Shaking of the Hands or Limbs, Mental or Bodily Decay, Seminal Weakness, Dimness of Sight, Obstinate Coughs, Shortness qf Breath, Impaired Memory, Consumption, In- digestion, Sick Head Ache, Frightful Dreams, Pains or Wind in the Stomach, and all Constitu. tional Complaints. THE BALM OF ZURA is notrecom- mended indiscriminately for every Disease inci- dent to the Human Frame ; but for that Class of Diseases which is termed Nervous, it is an absolute Specific ; there is rarely a Deviation from Health in which it will not afford Relief. It is to be considered that Nervous Diseases constitute one- third, or perhaps a greater Proportion of the Disorders to which we are liable; it has, therefore, been indisputably proved that the Balm of Zura invariably operates on the Nerves, producing the most desirable and sanative Effects, and is of the greatest Service to every one of those Cases for which it is recommended ; it may be given to the tender Infant, the pregnant Female, and palsied old Age, with Safety and Efficacy, hitherto unparalleled in the Annals of Medical Discovery, being a Medicine which will keep in all Climates.

Sia,— It is with infinite pleasure and gratitude that I have to acquaint you with the success of your truly invaluable Cordial Balm of Zura, in a case of extreme and confirmed debility. I had but little faith, I must candidly confess, in any thing, having tried for the space of three years almost every remedy that I have seen advertised, but without the least effect; but nothing can exceed the rapture that overwhelmed me, on experiencing such an instantaneous effect as followed the very first dose of your inestimable Medicine; and long before I had finished two of the Us. bottles, I felt so completely renovated as to excite the wonder and astonishment of all my friends. I absolutely appeared to them as one w ho rose f: > u> the grave by miraculous interposition. Never, my dear Sir, can I hope to make any returns to you for the health ( through the blessing of Providence) conferred upon me, but as a living reporter of your transcendant skill in the application of the Cordial Balm of Zura, to cases of such distressing and confirmed debility as mine. If this can be of any service, you are at liberty to make use of my name and address, for the benefit of others, and, 44 though lasi not least," accept, respected Sir, the humble tribute of a heart deeply imbued with gratitude, and abounding with every good wish for you here and hereafter. From your's, truly, J. B. COX, Clerk, Late of St. John's College, Cambridge. JUNE 26, 1824. SIR,-— The many unfortunate sufferers who daily fall sacrifice to the affliction I have so long laboured under, induces me to make the following public state- ment of my own. I am 35 years of age, and about seven veais since was afflicted in the following almost indescribable manner:— A disordered stomach, harsh and consumptive cough, hoarseness, shortness of breath tightness on the chest, weakness of both sight and memory, debility of the whole system, proceeding, no doubt ( as I must confess you at first sight informed me), from that baneful and solitary vice too often acquired at schools, hefore reason asserts her rights over the mind. Prior, however, to addressing you, I had the first advice of the most eminent of the Faculty, who, whether they were ignorant of my case ( as 1 must acknowledge I was at first ashamed to own so disgraceful a disease), or any other cause, the medicines they prescribed availed not in tiie least to remove my complaint. After having placed myself under your care, although a mere skele- ton, and by friends advised to refrain from such a plan, yet with the apparent ease you undertook my case, it gave me more hopes than I had ever before experi- enced, and with heartfelt thanks do I now publicly acknowledge, that after being under your care only two months, and continuing the use of your invaluable CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA, such is the present slate of iny health, that I feel my whole constitution renovated,. and my general system of bodily infirmity restored to the animation of invigorated Strength. Accept, dear Sir, the heartfelt thanks of one who is indebted to you for that greatest of human blessings, health; and that you may ever enjoy the same, is the sincere prayer of your attached servant, J. M. TBNBURY, NEAR WORCESTER. Imposture Unmasked. rilH E progress of Merit, though frequently JL assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object— public approbation. The test of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has estab- lished WARREN's BLACKING in general estimation of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious pre- paration as the genuine article, to the great disappoint- ment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the nianceuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to lose, and stimu- lated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a short direction, with tbe signa- ture, Robert Warren. All others are counterfeits ; nnd in many instances the imposition labels are artfully interlined with a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base fabrications of WARREN's BLACKING lo return Ibe detected trash to the source ( hence it came, and expose the machinations of ras- cality to merited obloquy. WARREN's BLACKING is surpassingly brilliant ; - it excludes damp; gives pliancy to the leather; re- lains ils pristine virtue in all climates; and, combining elegance wilh comfort, is an article equally of indis- pensable fashion and uiility.

CAUTION TO TIIE PUBLIC. As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person has the Pretension to say that he 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 ; bul if the Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it with 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 Bergamot ; which, from having analyzed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to be 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 a 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 from falling into Error by using such Imitations, which are so insulting to the common Understanding, and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DELCROIX begs to given brief Description of it :— The Fat 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. To be had, GENUINB nnd well perfumed, in varion sized Pots, of J. DELCROIX, Perfumer to the Royal Family, 15S, New Bond- street ( removed from 33, Old Bond street), and sold, with his Name, by Mr. William Nightingale, Mr. John Nightingale, Mr. Thomas Bowd- Ier, Mrs. Hulme ( Pride Hill), Mr. Samuel Hulme, Mr. Pyke, and Messrs. Whitney and Co. Shrewsbury, and by all the principal Perfumers and Hairdressers in the United Kingdom ; and where also may be had, his admired ESPRIT DB LAVANDE AUX MILLEFLEURS, BOU QUET DU Roi ( G. IV.), and every other Article of his superior and much- celebrated FOREIGN PERFUMERY CFrom the Farmer's Journal. J The only definitive measures proposed to tbe House of Commons were introduced by Mr. Slaney. lie endeavoured to legislate for the improvement of the Poor Laws prospect- ively, and his ideas, in spite of the condemnation bestowed upon them by the Times, were not only ingenious but just. His Act was to commence its operation in 1831, and by it the parish was exonerated from affording compulsory relief to a labourer not having more than four children.— The evil tendency of the .. present Poor Laws is to force population beyond the natural supply of labour. This evil should not be encouraged; at the same time it should be repressed with caution. A disease often proves fatal by the too violent application of a proper remedy; and the Poor Laws, bad as they are, are not more dangerous, than the dreadful revulsion which would ensue from their sudden abandonment. Mr. Slaney's prospective change is therefore prudent, and in limiting relief to labourers witli large families, he strikes at the very root of the system. The bane of our labouring population is two- fold, namely, their early marriages, and early reliance on the parish. A young man marries at May- Day, supports himself through hay- time, and harvest, and in October, as a matter of course, falls on the parish. If he was assured that he must support himself for some years by his own exertions, until the increase of his family rendered relief indispetisible, he would be more cautious in assuming- the incumbrance. He would work longer as a house labourer, and not only acquire money, but the ability to earn it, and the habit of saving it. On the other hand, if for the first five or six years of his married state he maintained his family by his wages, he would insen- sibly become averse to the degra'ding charity of the overseer. Let any ten parishes be taken by chance, and ten instances will not be found, where good labourers have thrown them- selves for the first time on the poor rates at the age of five and thirty, unless actually compelled by sickness, or some such geueral distress as occurred in 1S22. CFrom The Sphynx. J LAWS AFFECTING MARRIAGE.— The sapient authorities of Denmark have, it is said, passed a law, compelling alt persons living in a state of concubinage, to contract marriage, under pain of imprisonment and a diet of bread and water 1 This is capital, and only eoualled in absurdity by the attempt which has just been made( though without effect) to introduce a law for England to the following purport:— That, whereas a labourer with four children, in 1831, may be left without any parochial relief, the same labourer with five children may claim the interference of a magistrate to enforce a suitable provision for his family. We quite regret that this wonderful effort of legislative vivacity fell dead in Parliament, as we must, have been edified by a discussion of the country gentle- men on points such as these— . Whether the poor man, who is about to marry in this fair, sunny season, when the horrors of a mud cottage without warmth, and a wintry day without labour, appear somewhat distant, will pause to consider what may happen to him and his four unfortunate little ones, in the year 1831;— or whether he will at once plunge into the ocean of matrimony, in the hope that hy the end of that year at last, he may have established a claim upon the mercy ofthe poor- laws, by producing the mystical number of young citizens, who will be privileged not to starve, immediately that they are bound by their quintuple chain of fraternal rights. A little fun of this sort would have well closed the Drama of the Session. ( From the English Chronicle. J A considerable misapprehension still exists as to the actual situation of Mr. Slaney's Poor Bill. The same paper which first misled the public into a belief that this measure had actually passed into a law, in correcting that error has fallen into another equally mischievous, in stating that the Bill has been rejected. The truth, however, is, that the Bill was never intended by its author to be passed during the last Session; but was simply introduced, read a first and second time, and ordered tobe printed, that it might be circulated throughout the country, and undergo that, ordeal it is now receiving. Erroneous, and worse than erroneous, as Mr. Slaney's views of this important subject are, nothing, we believe, was further from his intention than to take Parlia- ment or the country by surprise; and though the means which he has chosen for his purpose are the most objection- able that, could have entered the mind of man, yet we feel fully persuaded that his design was good, and that the object he had in view was not only to lessen the amount and misap- plication of the poor rates, but to restore, if possible, to the English labourer that independence of character which the manifest and glaring abuses of the Poor Laws have gone nigh to destroy. Mr, Slaney's remedy, however, would be only an aggravation of the disease: arid if it. did not produce ah actual commotion in the country, would lead to a train of moral evils too horrid and frightful to be dwelt upon even in idea It would be difficult to imagine what rank the author of this notable expedient would be entitled to hold in the estimation of Mr. Malthas, whose well known check- popula- tion theories it tends on the one hand to uphold, and on the other to decry. It tells the man with a wife and four children, lhat up to that amount of family, no relief shall be obtainable for them from the poor rate under any circumstances: and so far would impose a restraint, upon early marriages, if it does not hold out a temptation to infanticide; while on the other hand it tells the same man that having passed this mystic number of four, the greater the number of his offspring there are the belter, and the greater will be his demands upon the parochial funds. It is no small proof of this gentleman's utter inability and total unfitness to legislate upon this subject, to perceive the entire ignorance which he shows of the real state and situation of the peasantry, to whom its application would almost wholly apply. There is probably no one period in the life of a rural labourer, when, generally speaking, he stands more in need of assistance than that at which this practical philanthropist wq. uld deprive him of any— viz. when he has four children, all so young as to require the mother's care, she and they, therefore, contributing nothing to the general stock. A man with double that number of children is often much better off than tbe man with four. In the former case some of the children are able to earn their own livelihood, or the boys to assist the father, or the girls the mother. In harvest time such a family often glean corn enough to maintain them for many months, and, in short, bring grist to the mill in many ways, that the four little things are incapable of; and we repeat, therefore, that there is scarcely any man acquainted with country life, who must not he convinced that had Mr. Slaney sought about to fix upon that description of labourer to whom his plan is least justly applicable, what may be called the maximum of his minimum is just that point. Words, in fact, are wasted in exposing tiie injustice, the absurdity, and utter impracticability of this project, which we regret should be allowed, even in its present shape, to traverse the country with the imprint of the House of Com. mons upon it. NEW MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. His Grace the Duke of Portland resigns the office of Privy Seal, bill retains his seat in the Cabinet. Lord Carlisle leaves the Woods and Forests, and succeeds the Duke of Portland as Lord Privy Seal. Mr. St urges Bourne succeeds Lord Carlisle as First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, keeping his seat in the Cabinet. The Maiquis of Lansdownc- succeeds Mr. Sturges Bourne as Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment. Viscount Dudley and Ward remains at the Foreigtr- office. Mr. Canning continues First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Spring Rice, it is said, will replace Mr. Spencer Perceval as one of the tTnder Secretaries of State at the Home, office. There will be no immediate change in the Vice Regal Government of Ireland, The Marquis of Wellcsley, it is understood, remains at the Castle till the end of the year, when, iu all probability, he will be suceeedcd by the Marquis of Auglesea. Such are the final arrangements o? the Ministry.- It will be seen that there is no addition of any person not already forming a part of the Cabinet, with the exception of Mr.- Spring Rice, who is men- tioned as likely to succeed Mr. Spencer Perceval. Lord Holland does not take office, though it has been confidently stated he would. His Majesty will hold a Council for the purpose of giving formal effect to these arrangements. GREECE.— We have already mentioned, that a Treaty between this country, France, and Russia,- having for its object to terminate the existing struggle in Greece, has been formally signed by the three contracting- Powers. We have also stated,- that the specific intentions of this Treaty are to* give practical effect to the principles which were agreed upon at St. Petersburg, when his Grace the Duke of Wellington went to that capital on a special diplomatic mission.— The three Powers, who have thus united for the attainment of oue common pur- pose, declare, in the first instance, that they are influenced by a sincere and anxious desire to stop that effusion of human blood which has taken place during more than six years, and which, from the very nature of the contest, is likely to continue for probably as much longer a period yet. They also feel it necessary, from a just consideration for their own maritime and commercial interests, and the interests of their respective subjects, to put an end to a state of things which seriously affects those interests in the Mediterranean.— These, we believe, will be found to constitute the specific grounds of the intervention which the three Powers have agreed to employ.

It appears that this offer on the part of the doctor originated in a wager which he laid with Mr. Matthew Vipond, of Manchester, that he would swim with him from Liverpool to Runcorn in one tide. All preliminaries having been settled, the morning of Tuesday was fixed upon; and, as if to afford every facility to the adventurers, and grace their daring attempt, the morning opened out exceedingly auspicious, the sun shone brilliantly, and every thing seemed lo favour the bold experi- ment which was about to be tried by the aquatic adventurers, great excitement prevailed, and nu- merous spectators, in boats, witnessed the arduous and novel undertaking. About a quarter after eight o'clock in the morning they started from the Queen's Dock. The doctor, prodigal of his strength, was anxious to give his opponent every advantage by allowing him to keep a- head. During their progress, at different times, small quantities of brandy and wine were presented, in bottles fastened to the end of sticks, from the boats. The swimmers were thus enabled to receive their refreshments by treading water. When within a short distance~ of Runcorn, the doctor shot a- head of Vipond, who however, made every possible exertion to regain his former station, but his struggles to effect this only overpowered him, and, when within half a mile of the landing place, he was obliged to yield the palm of victory to his more robust or more disciplined competitor, and was taken into a boat Just before the swimmers reached Runcorn, the Eclipse steamer passed and saluted them with cheers, which the doctor returned by waving one hand above his head. The doctor was taken up opposite Runcorn church, at ten minutes to twelve, having concluded this extraordinary undertaking three hours and thirty- five minutes. The adven- turers were hailed, upon their arrival at Runcorn, by the plaudits of numerous spectators who crowded the piers and the strand, all anxiously waiting their arrival. When the doctor was taken, into the boat, so little was he fatigued, that he declared his ability to swim twelve miles further. The doctor and his friends, who were joined by numerous arrivals from : Manchester, returned in the steam- packet to Li vet- pool, where they arrived about four o'clock in the afternoon, and immediately proceeded to Mr. Mor- gan's, Fen wick- street, where a number of gentlemen were waiting to receive him. A band of music was in attendance in the lobby, and, on his approach, struck up the air of " See the Conquering Hero comes." He appeared to be little worse for his great exertions, described himself as being very warm and comfortable, and expressed his readiness to swim again to the same place at any time. Con- siderable bets have been pending on theperformance of this feat.— Liverpool Courier. Italy— its Priesthood and People4 [ FROM THE SPHYNX.] There fire two principal causes by which the religion of Christ was perverted by the Popes:— I. The neces- sity of their having revenues to support themselves, as they were destitute of legitimate funds.— 2. The desire of maintaining their credit, as they weie destitute of real force. The Popei, not being sufficiently rich in provinces and revenues, aud feeling. the necessity of maintaining a degree of splendour suitable to their high rank, had recourse to indirect, unlawful, and oppressive means, in order to create funds. This was the principal cause of their departing from the simplicity of the Gospel, and perverting ils doctrines lo such a degree, that a religion, pore and benignant in itself, sunk into the most corrupt and cruel superstition. Hence arose ail the curious devices which transformed ignorance and credulity into sources of annual income. For this purpose a purgatory was created, in order that tho living might, under pretence of aiding the dead, be made to empty their own purses, and fill those of the priests. Hence indulgences, or the sale of mere words and phrases for sterling gold, a traffic which went ou multiplying, from age lo age, in proportion as the necessity for its profits increased, and the poetical minds of the Popes became more fertile iu inventing w modes of turning it to account. For this purpose jubilee was proclaimed, in order that pilgrims, hastening to Rome with tears iu their eyes, uuder the dea of discharging themselves of the burthen of their sins, might disbnrthen themselves of their wealth. For this reason, an office for the sale of bulls and dis- pensations was opened, and dignified by the name of the Apostolic Curia. Go to that paper warehouse, on the banks of the Tiber, but go with hands full of the precious metals, and you will return with a written page, worth at most a farthing, hut which will enable you to marry your nearest relation. Go there with empty hands, aud you will remain in mortal sin, or be tormented hy unholy love, through all your life. Pur- chase at this office a license bearing the Pope's seal, and you may eat flesh all the year round, till you are as plump as the priest who sold it you. But woe to you, if you possess it not \ You will have but meagre fare if you observe the precepts of the church, and a miser- able death if you violate thein. In short, the salvation of the immortal soul is synonymous with giving into the treasury of the church abundance of money ; and eternal damnation synonymous with inability to supply its insatiable demands. Not only scapularies, veils, and girdles, have been sold, but when every tiring else failed, tombs were opened, and the hones of the dead exchanged for the gold of the living. * The vigilant avidity of the priest, which accompanies the poor Italian through every step of his life, leaves him not at the last moment of his existence ; on the contrary, he then presses more closely to his side, for lhat the moment in which he is likely to reap the richest harvest. Hence the ingenious invention of ex- treme unction had its origin, and was converted into a sacrament. For this reason the dying were visited, and terrified with the most frightful spectacles. In that awful moment, when man s<' cs behind hint objects of remorse, and before him objects of fear; in that hour, when the power of any longer enjoying bis tem- poral possessions is failing him, he is easily persuaded to dispose of what he feels to be thenceforward useless to himself; and the cunning priest or monk eagerly seizes his wealth, to the deprivation of the lawful heirs ; barters a paper absolution for a princely mansion, and exchanges a promise of heaven for an enrthly estate! The remorse of the robber is often calmed by dividing bis spoil with the church ; a long life of crime is puri- fied in a moment, by a laying on of bauds, aud a muttering of unintelligible words, paid for at an exor- bitant rate. Who can say to what au extent this traffic in bene- fices and ecclesiastical dignities has been carried on? Honours, titles, mitres, and robes, were neither for- merly, nor are at present, given to merit, zeal, learning, or motals, but to the highest bidder. It is thos that the necessity of supplying the deficiencies of lawful funds, by a revenue arising from th; se cunning inven- tions, has rendered the Pontiff an impostor, and cor- rupted the religion of Christ, till it no longer bears ihe least resemblance to its pure and humble original. • What are called corpora baptizata, a collection of dry bones, taken promiscuously from old burying grounds, are probably often the bones of malefactors it is said, lhat St. Spiridioue, who performed such miracles among the Greeks was no other than an Etiyptiau mummy; that is to say, the corpse of an idolatrous king, imported iuto the Peloponnesus bv a venal impostor, who sold him as a saint! It. is also related, that in excavating- the ground in some part of the Milanese territory, there was found a small stone box, with a tablet, apart of which was broken away; on the remainder was the following inscription:-- S. BLANCVS. QVL PRO. DNO. SVO. MOHT. EST. From this was produced a St." Blanco, who died for the faith. But, after some time, the lost, fragment of stone was found, when it was revealed that the first letter, S. was the end of the Latin word CAN'S j the credulous peo pie then blushed at having worshipped, as a saint, the skeleton of a while dog who had died i n defence of its master! The very caprices of celebrated artists were canonized. One painter depicted a giant with the infant Jesus on his shoulders, and wrote underneath Christoforus, that is, bearer of Christ. From this supeistition was created a St Christopher, who never existed. Another paiii'er drew a woman with a piece of linen in her hand, on which was painted the image of the Saviour, and wrote uuder, Vera icon, that is, true image. Credulous ignorance changed the picture of the woman into St. Veronica. ; and the two names, Chris, o- pher and Veronica, were added to the Roman martyrology. Mere words even became persons, and augmented the'numbt'r of the saints. We know that the Romans often gave their children names derived from the successive order of their bh- th. Thus Secondilia, Seztilia, Oclaviu, Stc were the names of the second, fourth, and eighth daughters. A memoir of two noble ladies who suffered martyrdom, Ursula cum Untie, cimitia, martyres, having been found, a St. Ursula, with eleven thousand virgin followers who died for Chris;, were iustautly conjured into existence! JJ COURIER OF WALE § , COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 12. MORRIS ?''. DAVIES. Tlie arguments' in this cause,' which had occupied the attention of the Court fur nearly three days, were resumed this morning.

A NEW FIRE.— Captain Parry, in preparing- for the singular expedition iu which he is now engaged, found great difficulty, we believe, iti providing for the necessary process of cooking during the period lie and his companions wouVd be likely lo be abs-.- iit from his ship. At length he. fixed on the lamp with incombustible wick, which is fed with spirits of wine. This sort of fire is not only very weak, but very expensive, aud is, of course, incapable of being applied upon a large scale. We have very recently seen another description of fire, w hich is procured from a very cheap and common liquid, without the interposition of wicks of any kind. The heat which it produces is so intense, that it boils a kettle of w ater in a few minutes, and causes a much greater ebullition than a coal fire. It is applicable to all the purposes of cookery, to any extent that niay be required. It would, therefore, be peculiarly convenient to the naval ami merchant service. In the summer season, it would be the most agreeable and economical fire which fellies could wish for, as it may be kindled in a moment, and extinguished merely by closing a valve. It is free from all danger, as the liquid will ignite only in the cauldron in w hich it is used. Experiments are about to be undertaken for applying it to the boilers of steam- engines; and if they be favourable, as there is no reason to doubt that they will be. steam- boats may soon traverse all the seas on the surface of the globe, as the liquid that supplies the tire may be contained within a very moderate compass. This important discovery has, as yet, been exhibited only to two or three persons— we • were of the number, and received permission to rivscribe it to this extent. We have only to add that • we have repeatedly seen it in operation, and tiiat we have ro doubt whatever, that it will fully. answer the expectations entertained ol it. Like all ex- traordinary things of the kind, this discovery was the result of accident, and it is i" o simple, that when it is made public, every body will be surprised that it has not been in use since tha beginning of Ihe world,— Monthly F. tvitw, MAR U1ED.

H ERE AS a Commission of Bankrupt is awarded and issued forth against JOHN GREEN, of DRAYTON IN- HALES, in the County of Salop, Druggist, Dealer and Chapman, and he being declared a Bankrupt is hereby required to surrender himself to the Commissioners in the said Commission named, or the major Part of them, on the 26th Day of July Instant, at Two of the Clock in the Afternoon, on the 27th Day of the same Month,, at Ten in the Fore- noon, aud on the 14th Day of August next, at Two o'Clock, in the Afternoon, al the Corbet Arms Inn, in Drayton- in- Hales aforesaid, and make a full Discovery and Disclosure of bis Estate and Effects; when and where the Creditors are to come prepared to prove their Debts, and at the second Sitting to choose Assignees, and at the last Sitting the said Bankrupt is required to finish his Examination, and the Creditors are to assent to or dissent from the Allowance of his Certificate. All Persons indebted to the said Bank- rupt, or that have any of his Effects, are not to pay or deliver the same but to whom the Commissioners shall appoint, but give Notice to Messrs. WARREN and SON, Solicitors, Dray ton- in- Hales aforesaid ; or to Messrs. ROSSER & SON, Solicitors, Gray's- Inn Place, London. The Upper House of Parliament having, on seve- ral recent occasions, interposed for the benefit of the State, by preventing the crude schemes of the modern innovators from becoming parcel of the Laws of this Kingdom, has, in consequence, become obnoxious to those who are engaged in the task, of sapping the foundations of the Constitution ; it may, therefore, as a matter of national interest, be advan- tageous to transcribe some passages from the writ- ings of those who have hitherto been thought to ; know something, as " well respecting; what yt- h. es• British Constitution is, as* touching the expediency of its being what it is, and who, in especial reference to the House of Lords as a component part of the Legislature, have gi ven their opinions in a way that admits of no misconstruction. First, then, we beg to refer to Blackstone, who expresses himself as follows:— " And herein, indeed, consists the true excellence of the English government, that all the parts of it form a mutual check upon each other. In the legis- lature, the people are a check upon the nobility, aiid the nobility a check upon the people, by the mutual privilege of rejecting, the one what the other has resolved j while the King is a check upon both. * * Thus every branch of our civil polity supports, and is supported, regulates, and is regulated, by the rest; for the two houses naturally drawing in two directions of opposite interest, aud the. prerogative in another, still different from them both, they mutually keep each other from exceeding their proper limits, while the whole is prevented from separation, aud artificial! v connected together by the mixed nature of the crown, which is a part of the legislature, and the sole execu- tive magistrate. Like three distinct forces in me- chanics, they jointly impel the machine of government in a direction different from what either, acting by itself, would have done, but at the same time in a direction pat taking- of each, and formed out of all— a direction which constitutes the true line of the liberty and happiness of the people." And further on, " A body of nobility is more peculiarly necessary in our mixed and compound constitution, in order to support the rights of both the crown and the people, by forming a harrier to withstand the encroachment of both. It creates and preserves that gradual scale of dignity which proceeds from the peasant io the prince, rising like a pyramid, from a broad foundation, and diminishing to a point as it, rises. It is this ascending and connecting proposition that adds stabi- lity to any government; for when the departure is sudden from one extreme to another, we may pronounce that state to be precarious. The nobility, therefore, are the pillars which are reared from among- the people, more immediately to support the throne, and if that falls, they must also be buried under its ruins. # # # =# * And since titles of nobility are thus expedient iu the state, it is also expedient that iheir owners should form. AN INDEPENDENT AND SEPARATE BRANCH of the legis- lature. If they were confounded with the mass of the people, and, like them, had only a vote in electing representatives, tlieir privileges would soon be borne down, and Overwhelmed by the popular torrent which would effectually level all distinctions. It is, there- fore, highly necessary that the body of nobles should have a distinct assembly, distinct, deliberations, and distinct powers from the Commons."— Biackstone<; Ttlontesquieu writes very nearly to the same pur- pose; as follows tc There are always in a state persons distinguished by1 birth, riches, or honours; but if they were con- founded with the people, and if they had not a voice of themselves, the common liberty would be their slavery, and they could have no interest in defending it, because the greater number of the acts of the State would be to their hurt. Their part, then, or share in the legislation, ought to be proportioned to the other advantages which they have in the State-— aud this will he, if they form of themselves a body having the right to arrest the enterprises of the people, as the people have the right to arrest their enterprises. " Thus the legislative power will be intrusted to the body of nobles, and to the body which shall be chosen to represent the people, and which shall have each their meetings and deliberations apart, and which will necessarily have different views and different interests. The nobles ought to be hereditary ; they are so naturally ; and besides, it is needful that they should have a great interest in the preservation of tlieir prerogatives— of themselves odious, and which, in a free state, ought always to be in danger." And lastly, Burke, who, as he was not writing a treatise on the constitution, but only incidentally alluding to the subject, expresses himself with less precision indeed, but in the very same spirit. The power of perpetuating our property in otir Da ring the last session of Parliament several Acts have been passed with a view to improve the criminal jurisprudence of England, by lopping off those ex- crescent and unmeaning technicalities by which the laws have been heretofore incumbered, and to make the punishment for particular offences more certain. Subjoined is an abstract of the statute 7th and 8th George IV. c. 28, entitled " An Act for further improving the administration of justice iu criminal cases iu England." 1. If any person not having the privilege of ' peer- age, being arraigned upon any indictment for treason, felony, or piracy, shall plead thereto " not guilty," lie shall, by such plea, without further form, be deemed to, have put himself upon his country for trial. 2. If any person charged with an indictment refuse. to plead, the court shall order the proper officer to enter a plea of u not guilty," and the plea so recorded shall have the same effect as if such person had pleaded. 3. When any person indicted shall challenge a greater number of men returned as jurors than allowed bv law, such challenge shall be void, and the trial proceed. 4. No plea setting forth any attainder shall be pleaded in bar of any indictment, unless the attainder be. for the same offence as that charged in the indict- ment. 5. The jury empanelled to try persons shall not inquire concerning his lands, & c.*& c. 6- Benefit of clergy with respect to persons con- victed of felony shall be abolished'. 7. No person convicted of felony shall suffer death, unless it be for some felony which was excluded from the benefit of clergy before or on the first day ofthe present session of Parliament, or which hath been or shall be made punishable with death by soirie statute passed after that day. 8. Persons convicted of felony not punishable v^ ith death shall be liable to be transported* beyond the seas for Seven years, or imprisoned for any* term not exceeding two years. If a male, ( the court, thinking • fit';), he may be once, twice, or thrice publicly or privately whipped. 9. The court may order hard labour or solitary con- finement as part of the sentence of imprisonment. 10. If a person under sentence for another crime is convicted of felony, the court can pass a second sen- tence, to commence after the expiration Of the first. H. Any person convicted a second time of felony, shall be liable to be transported for life, or a term not less than seven years, or imprisoned for any term not exceeding four years.— Certificate of conviction may omit the formal part, the substance only being neces- sary. Clerk or Officer uttering a false certificate, liable to seven years' . transportation, or imprisoned not exceeding two years, and in addition to be thrice publicly or privately whipped. 12. Offences prosecuted in the Court of Admiralty subject, to the same punishment as offences committed upon the land. 13. Offenders convicted of any felony punishable with death, receiving a free pardon under the Royal sign manual, shall prevent any subsequent conviction. 14.

Clement was decided, after occupying the Court the whole of that and the pre- ceding day. The plaintiff called upon the Court to award her damages for defamation of character. The defendant is the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, and the cause of the action arose from his publishing certain of the affidavits made in the Wellesley cause, tried lately in the Court of Chancery, and which, as must be well known to the reader, did not establish the purity of some ofthe parties' conduct— the plain- tiff amOng the rest. The Judge summed up at great length ; after which the jury retired from the box. Ou their return, the following dialogue took place: A Juryman— Couid three distinct verdicts be given, niy Lord ? Mr. Piatt was about to call his Lordship's attention to this remark of the Juryman, when The Lord Chief Justice remarked, that the case was now in the hands of the jury, and there they had better leave it. The jury retired from the box a short time after six, and returned with their verdict at twelve minutes before eight. s _ j.,..,,. „ r ... Mr. Kuapp then asked the Foreman— Do you find families is one of the'most valuable and interesting | for the plaintiff or the defendant ? circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends the most to the perpetuation of society itself. It makes our weakness subservient to our virtue ; it grafts benevolence even upon avarice. The possessors'of family wealth, and of fhe distinction which attends hereditary possession ( as mqstconcerned iu it), are the' natural securities for this transmission. Witli us the House of Peers is formed on this principle, ft is wholly composed of hereditary property and here- ditary distinction, and made, THEREFORE, the third of the. legislature, and, in the last, event, the sole judg- e of all property in all its subdivisions." Such is the testimony of grave and judicious authority on the subject. But it is a striking cha- acteristic ofthe present times to disregard author- ity, howsoever esteemed. The speculators of modern times " Have lights where better eyes are blind, As pigs are said to see the wind.-"— Hudibras. We trust, however, the good sense of the public will reject the treasonable teaching of these new- light philosophers, and content themselves rather with remaining' in the sober shade of the old obscurity.

SWINDLERS.— A man and woman, with several female children, and a youth about 13 years ol' age, have succeeded in duping- the tradespeople of Taun- ton lo a considerable extent, Having taken a house about three months since, they gave the most unli- mited orders for new and costly furniture, cut glass, china, grocery, millinery, linen drapery, and every other description of domestic supplies. The batcher, baker, and wine merchant, were to be paid quar- terly, " as they had always been accustomed to settle in that way,". and the young folk were sent to a school in Hammet Street. On Friday last, the creditors, too late suspecting- the fact, found, ou examination, that the whole family had secretly taken their departure, having previously contrived to convey the whole of the furniture, and every other article, from the house. The man was seen a few days previously outside of the mail from Taun- ton to Bath, aud is a stout good looking- fellow. He very seldom appeared, and the orders were given by the woman, a squat, ugly- looking creature, with a glib tongue, and confident address. A brass plate was fixed to the door, vvith the name " Thomp- son." They kept no servant.— TaUntoti Courier.' STATES OF TRADE.— The happy stale of things has spread its invigorating iutluehce over all Scotland, from the borders to John O'Groat's; and a's regards this northern division of the island,' we cannot support the accounts just given from the south better than by quoting the transactions ofthe great annual wool and sheep market of Scotland, held in this town last week. On this occasion, we have the best grounds for knowing that about 120,000 stone of wool, and 150,000 sheep, were disposed of, ou terms generally agreeable to all parties. The prices on an average were from 15 to • 20 per cent, higher than those of last year; and more, than 50 percent, better than could iiave been justly expected, considering the state ofthe country at the close of the last year; and at the commence- ment of the present' one. This market, taken by itself as being strictly confined to the staple com- modities of the Highlands of Scotland, i. e. sheep and wool, is, next to the Leipsic fair, the greatest in Europe that ever we have heard of; and accordingly all its transactions are watched with intense interest to the commercial world. Although the prices this year were lower than had been given in the speculative year of 1825, yet for wool they were as good, and rather a shade better, than were ob- tained in the most prosperous years of 1852, 1823, 1824, or 1826. The improvement in tiia price of sheep this year, compared with the last five years, always excepting 18- 25, is infinitely more striking. To tiiis we have to add, for the satisfaction of the buyers, that the sheep iu the Highlands are at present in high condition; they afford an excellent clip of wool; and froin their strength and excellent herding the losses among them, during the severe storms of last winter, have proved very inconsider- able. In closing this agreeable notice of returning prosperity throughout the country, we ought not to omit saying, that every where in the north the crops promise to be abundant and of excellent quality.— Inverness Courier.

A Return to the Order of the House of Commons has just been published, which illustrates, in a most incontrovertible maimer, the fatal march of Free Trade to the manufacturing interests of this country. When it is shewn that our exports are greatly diminished, it is answered, true, but it is only an apparent diminution. From the great decline in price, a much greater quantity of goods is exported at the, presenl value of our exports, than was exported at the former value, when the prices were higher. It is clear, however, that this cannot he the case, when it is remembered that the official scale by which the value is calcu- lated remains unchanged. The Return alluded to settles the point beyond cavil or dispute, because it gives lis the quantity as well as the value of each article exported. We place before our readers the comparative exports of the following articles in Free Trade years, from which they will per- ceive how fearfully they are lessened — lessening upon us. It is further to be observed, also, that the decrease in our cotton manufactures exported to Foreign Countries, is, in reality, much greater, because the increase of our exports in these arti- cles to the East Indies has increased. 1824. 1825. 1826. 314,440,389 336,409,204 267,021.683 63,887,780 52,080,184 39.986,710 ', 803,778 The Foreman — Guilty of adultery only.

Tiie decreased exports in Woollens, Linens, Earthenware, Beef, & c. is almost entirely owing to laying open theports of our Colonial Possessions to the ships and supplies of Foreign Powers, which do not give us, or which have uot got any recipro- city to give us, iu return.

Not only is the medical practitioner likely to derive benefit from these, dis coveries, to him indeed it. will be found of the utmost service in directing him how to prevent the putrefaction often so in. convenient in anatomical studies and pathological investiga- tions; but private individuals and families will greatly consult their comfort by availing themselves of this most important discovery. The effect of Chlorine is to destroy all fcetid ex- halations arising trom animal and vegetable decomposition, by combining with the Hydrogen which is invariably one of Ihe products resulting from such decomposition. The appli- cation of the Chloride of Soda is therefore only limited by animal and vegetable decay. To answer the purpose of fumi- gation, the Chloride of Lime, diluted with forty parts of water, is the most safe and powerful disinfecting agent hitherto discovered, in correcting the immediate atmosphere of all in- fections complaints; and where death ensues, in preventing any effluvia arising from tlie body, its value, in this instance, will be duly appreciated by the Faculty, in examinations for inquests, & c. The close and confined air of hospitals, prisons, ships, courts of justice, & c. £ tc. will be almost instantaneously purified, by sprinkling the diluted Chloride of Lime from a common watering pot. in putrid fevers, infectious com- plaints, & c. tbe mixture should lie sprinkled about the room occasionally ; the usual precaution lor renewing the air of the room being equally attended to. The eflluvia from drains, sewers, & c. will b^ destroyed, by pouring into them a quat t of the mixture, added to a pailful of water, and repeating tiie operation until the smell ceases. And although it would l, e improper, in the present stale of knowledge, to assert that it will be found a preservation against the contagion of the Yellow Fever, Plague, it is certainly worth the attention of all who reside where those terrific diseases prevail, as suc- cess may be reasonably expected from its being an infallible destroyer of all effluvia aiising from animal and vegetable decomposition, and effectually preventing their deleterious iuiloeucc. v EAR.;— I remeniher, not a great malty years ago there were paragraphs put in the newspapers, about a child having got someiiiing into its ear, which could not he got out. The poor child was in great agony and it was said that tiiis foreign body produced irri tation in Ihe child's brain, nnd I don't know what. As the British public are very much alive to humanity, there wea- e morning after morning, in Ihe papers, paragraphs exhorting the friends of this family uot to be afraid, for the body would come out. To these paragraphs, I confess to you, I added one myself, and it was lo the following " effect.— A child got a bead from its lumber's necklace ; it was a large head, and in playing with it put it into ils ear. In trying to get it out, she only poked it further down. lu others attempting to do the same thing, they only made bad worse in Ihe same manner. A surgeon was sent for, but this large bead had got so far down into the tube of the ear, that the surgeon said at first he did not believe. it vvas there; being assured that it was, he put down a probe, aud felt that there was something in it. The child was a good natured child, and llie surgeon said to it, now 1 wish you would just lie down upou that ear ; put your head upon rhU cushion. It was a large soft cushion belonging to a fashionable sofa. The child did so. He look up another cushion, and put it upon th^ opposite ear. Now", said he, I will strike the opposite one, tell me if it hurls you. The child said. No, il does not hurt me at ail. He there- foie kept thumping the cushion that was lying on the child's head for eight or ten limes, and then he said uow let me look at your ear. He looked at it, and then said, now I see it plainly enough. On repealing the operation, Ihe bead came out. And now I really believe llial that's the best w ay of getting those things out.— Abernetky. Five hundred thousand pounds. THE LINGO or THE ROAD.— An empty coach is called the mad woman ; asking the passengers for money, kicking them; a passenger not oil the bill, a shoulder stick, a bit offish, or a short or. e; a passenger who pays shabbily, a scaly one; not paying at all, tipping ihe double ; a glass of neat spirits, a flash of lightning, a drop of short, or, don't siop to mix it; great coats, benjamins or upper benjamins; putting on great coats and shawls, dressing; a white hat, a lily shallow; good clothes, a good bit of broad cloth, or neatish toggery ; a well- dressed woman, a pretty bit of muslin; a kicker, a miller; gallopping horses, springing them; driving near to any thing, feather- edging it; a coach, a drag; reins, ribbons-, horses, cattle ; a whip, a tool; a good coachman, an artist, or workman; a bad one, et spoon, or lame hand ; . one just got to work, a fresh catched one; a kind- hearted master, a trump ; one always on the look- out, the tormentor.— Sporting Maga- zine. Falconry, which is now so much ill disuse among us, was ihe principal amusement among our ances- tors. A person of lank in England, some three four centuries ago, scarcely stirred out wilhout his hawk ou his hand, which, in old paintings, is a crite. rioil of nobility. The expense which allendcd Ibis sport was very great. Among the old Welsh princes the king's falconer was Ihe fourth officer of slate ; but notwithstanding all bis honours, be was forbidden to take more than three draughts of beer from his horn lest he should get drunk and neglect his duly. In the reign of James the First, Sir Thomas Mouson is said to have given £ 1000 for a cast of hawks; and such was their value in general, that it was made felony in the reign of Edward tiie Third lo steal a Inwk. To lake its eggs, even in a person's own ground, was punishable wi h imprisonment for a year and a day, together with a tine at I he King's pleasure. FREOIASINARY— Some months ago, Mr. Morgan," late of New York, published a pamphlet in which he disclosed Ihe secrets of masonry. Soon after be was seized and carried off" to the confines of Canada, and lias since never been heard of. The last New York papers mention that Qbvenor Clinton had issued a proclamation, offering a reward of oue thousand dollars for the discovery of Morgan, if alive, and if murdered, two thousand dollars for the discovery of the offendels, ami a pardon to anv accomplice who The articles ofthe treaty bet ween Jv- jcrland, France^ • and Russia, respecting the war between the Turks and Greeks, the substance of which h< is Ion,; been anti- cipated, have been published. The three, great Powers enter upon their inter- ference by demanding an arosistiee; and if this de- mand be acceded t<>, a negfociai'io. n is to be entered into on hasps already lined. " The Greeks are to be. u governed by authorities. whom they shall themselves " choose, but in the imo. iitVafi>> n of whooi the Porte " will have a determinate voice." They are to pay a tribute-, frxed once for ail, to the Ottoman. Empire. The Turkish . property . in Greece, is to be. occupied by the Greeks, they paying an indemnity. Sf both or either of tbe parties refuse t. o agree to the armistice, the, allies are to extrl all the means circum- stances may suggest to obtain the immediate, effert of the armistice, by preventing, in as Jar as may hf in their power, fill collision between the . contending parties In the event of obstinate resistance on either p; irt, which may make it disljcuIt lo effWt this object negotiation is to take place between the allies to de- termine the ulterior measures to which . it m iy be necessary to resort. The allies disclaim for thfniseiv= s ' either territorial or peculiar commercial advantages. A letter from Paris states that the combined squad;, ron of Russia, France, and England, which is about to assemble in ( Ire. Mediterranean, will, consist of thirty- nine ships'of war, and that the contingent of each power, in vessels, guns, and men, wiil be, as nearly as' possible, equal. . The second and third battalions of the Grenadier Guards werereviewed ia Hyde Park on Wednesday morning-, by their Colonel, the Duke of Wellington. Shortly before ten o'clock his Grace arrived in the Park from Apsley House, and proceeded to reiiew this fine corps, which went throngh the evolutions in soldier- like style. The fineness of the morning contributed to tbe gay appearance of the scene. There was a great number of military persons present, who seemed extremely anxious to behold the conqueror of Buonaparte. His Grace was accompanied by his Aides- de- Camp, and, both aa he was coming- to the ground and- departing- from it, he was loudly cheered. By an Act, passed at the conclusion of las session of Parliament, all the provisions in the former Acts, giving parties whose property might be destroyed byj£ re a remedy against the hundred in which such fire occurred, were repealed,. It appears also in contemplation to withdraw the power of appeal to the public iu such cases by Brief, under the impression that holding out hopes from such a source has encouraged indtffe.' euce and neglect. The practice of setting corn and hay stacks and buildings at a greater distance from each other than the old custom presents, i » strongly recommended. BOW- STREET,— The following daring sttempt lo rob the mail between Leatherhead and Kingston and murder the driver, was communicated on Friday morning at an early hour to Mr. Freeling, of the. Posu Office,, by whom the account was transmitted to Sir R. Biruie, who dispatched Uuthven and Ellis, and two ofthe mounted patrol, iu quest of the villains. It appears that the mail cart, driven by a man named Cox, left Dorking for Kingston with the mail bags, at about half- past eight o'clock on Thursday evening. Just ns he arrived at Gibbon's Grove, the residence of Mr. Boulton, he was stoppad by two men, whoe rushing from the road side, demanded " his money or life." The. men at th. e same moment fired at Cox, from the effects of which he appears to have had a most surprising escape, one of the balls having pene- trated his hat immediately above his head, passing through the crown. Another bullet struck the collar of his coat, close to his neck, and a third wounded him, though not severely, on the right side ef tli9 head. The flow of blood from the wound was so considerable that the clothes of Cox were actually saturated. Finding himself thus suddenly assailed, Cox turned his horse for the purpose of returning to Dorking-; and, wounded as he was, lie drew a pistol on the robbers, bur it missed fire. He then presented his second pistol, which went off, and the villain ® suddenly retreated over a low hedge on the road side, and for the present effected their escape. The report ofthe pistols brought to the assistance of Cox Captain Bouitou, Mr. Byron, ami a gamekeeper of Mr. Boul- ton, who escorted the wounded man . to Leatherhead, here the mail bags were delivered to Mr. Nash, the post master of the village, by whom " hey were for- warded, to Kingston in a post- chaise. ]:. was just ten mintues past ten when Cox was attacked. The night was moonlight, and so clear that he- distinctly saw the persons ofthe robbers, who, he said, were both iu dark dresses hut the a tack was so sudden, and his alarm so yreat, that lie could uot recognize the features of the men. The wound which Cox had received was dressed by a surgeon, and half of a bullet was extracted from it. We have frequently of late bad occasion to notice the very depressed state of the wool trade, and the consequent heavy losses to the farmer. It is there- fore with peculiar pleasure we find that in sieveral parts of this county they are manufacturing cloths from British wool only ; persuaded that all who have the interest of the farmer at heart, wiil pro- mote the sale of " the native produce of the country.''— 1) ev izes Ga zctte. We have to congratulate the public, that in the present depressed state of agriculture, many gentle- men have resolved to promote the interest of farmers by a liberal purchase of cloths manufaetu-• > 1 from British wool only. In Will* this libera'- minded spirit has been extensive, and its effects beneficial to the wool trade. The small market town of Stock bridge has the merit of introducing into this county a similar plan, and many gentiemeu, clergymen, and others, hare very lately purchased large portions of British cloths of Mr Richard Pyle, of Wallop. The ad- vantages resulting from such a plan, would be the* encouraging the consumption of . British wool, and getting a coat of good cloth for two guineas, every expense included.— Winchester Journal. Mr. Russell's departure from the sessions ba? 9 was profitably felt by the learned gentlemen who remain.— Mr. R. it is said, netted nearly £ 8( K> a year by his sessions practice only; and it is estimated that the minor barristers of the Oxford Circuit will divide amongst them £ 2500 per annum, in con- sequence of the elevation of Mr. Russell aad Mr. Ludlow to the coif. Downing, the Keeper of the House of Industry of the parish of Little Packington, Warwickshire, and. a man named Todd, were convicted at the last Warwick Assizes, of a conspiracy to bring about a marriage between S. uke Smith and Elizabeth Bratt, with t- je intent to cast a burthen on the parish of Birmingham. Triey were brought up for judgment ^ fr the Court of Kind's Beuch last week, when Todd ; was sentenced to pay a fine of £ 25, and Downing a fine of £ 5. \ SINGULAR PHENOMENON — Oue night last week, ia singular phenomenon occurred here, being nothing: less than a inrge shower of herring fry, which fell upon part of the nursery ground at the north end of the town. The surprise which fiiled the minds of the people in tint quarter, in the morning, on seeing nearly half an acre of the field, with the vegetables, shall make a full disclosure of the offenders. ^ Covered wivh the scaly inhabitants ofthe deep may C » IITIAM rrr> iVI AI T> STS?

The only vvav for accounting for CAUTION TO MALTSTERS— maltster offcast Hendred, Berks, was mulcted in £ 1400 penalties, in the Court of Exchequer on Thursday, yn five informa tions, for illegally wetting grain ; fur having too many Boors in operation at one time; for wetting the corn on the floor * and for employing the cistern in an illegal way. Lord Norbury and Irish Witnesses.— One of the devices to prevent the accumulation of petty lar- ceny, in the Court of. Common Pleas of Ireland', was very amusing. Lord Norbury's Registrar, Mr. Peter Jackson, complained grievously to his lord- ship that' he really could not afford to supply the courts with Gospels or Prayer- books, as witnesses, after they had taken their oaths, were in the con- stant habit of stealing the book. < Peter,' said Lord Norbury, 4 if the rascals read the book, it will do them more good than the petty larceny may do them mischief.'— 4 Read or not read,' urged Peter, ' they are rogues, that's plain, i have tied the book fast, but nevertheless they have tried to loosen and abstract it."*—^ Well, well!' replied my lord, ' if they are not afraid ofthe cord, hang your Gospel in chains, and that perhaps, by reminding the fellows ofthe fate of their fathers and grandfathers, may make them behave themselves.' Peter Jackson took the hint: provided a good- looking, well- bound new Testament, which he secured with a strong- jack- chain that had evidently done duty before the kitchen fire, and was made fast to t'Ve rail of the jury gallery. Thus the holy volume had free scope to swing about and clink as much as if clvose, to the great terror of witnesses, and good order of the jurors themselves.— SirJonahBarringion^ Sketcjws of his own Times* easily be supposed. The only way for accounting for this strange occurrence is, that the fry had been conveyed thither by a water- spout from the Atlantic Ocean.— Montross Review. The Staffordshire Advertiser says—" We hava the satisfaction of announcing, 011 good authority that the Corporation of this borough are likely speedily to be re- invested with those powers which, with the view of having them returned accompanied by new sanctions and securities, they had resigned into the hands nf his Majesty's Government." A claimant for the title and estates of the late Sir George Beaumont, Bart, of Coleorton Hail, near Ashby- de- la- Zouch, in the person of Mr. William Beaumont, ribbon- maker, of Coventry, has just appeared.

Isle of encbanting forms and lovely eves, Soft aie thy breezes, bright thy beauteous skies; Perennial plenty loads thy verdant, lands With glowing fruits, untouched by slavish hands ; Free as the air that fans thy blooming vales, Health in thy streams, aud strength upon thy gales; All that a people's prayer cou'd ask from Heaven, To thee, my country, is profusely given : — O long, engirdled with thy zone of waves, The guard of freedom, and the foe of slaves, Triumphant be thine ancient banners blown, Thou Queen of Isles, upon thine ocean throne! Here, pensive gazing from this shelvy height, Tili the dim ether deepens on the sight, How dear the sea. view to the patriot's eye, How fresh the playful breezes rustling by !— Bright in its boundless spread of wreathing waves, Beneath the frothy- mantled ocean laveAs ; While snow- winged sea- gulls flutter on the spray, Flap their moist plumes, and skim the breezy way. There, distant vessels, guided by the gale, With swan- like motion, and uubosom'd sail, Melt in the blue horizon's dim repose, Where nestled clouds iu piling phantoms close. Oblivious here of Albion's beggar'd state, Fain would creative Fancy draw her great ; Kingdoms and kings have found a fellow grave, And short the storied valour of the brave ; Bnt, changeless still, her ocean girts the land, Foams on the rock and wantons ot) the strand : From this enduring grandeur of the sea, We dream our isle must flourish while ' tis free — * Tis but a dream — in memory's imaged glass Visions of unforgotten empires pass : Where now the empress ofthe palmy East, Proud of her walis, and gorgeous at. the feast ?

Though suppliant nations feel thy living power, These stain thy glories, and precede that hour When self- defil'd, and inly overthrown, Thyself will be thy vanquisher alone ! To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, " Blessed is be that considcrctk the poor and needy." This promise is one of the many given for our encouragement in that Book, on the precepts of which all moral and political institutions ought to be founded ; and if discuss ir. g their situation, and writing pamphlets for their regulation, were the sort of consideration recommended in the passage I have quoted, the poor Poor of Great Britain have, within these few years, received a greater share ot attention than could ever have been contemplated. I have been led to this observation by a perusal of the Bill and Letter of Mr. Slaney published in your Journal, aud of the remarks which some of the Papers have made on that Bill, which has certainly been introduced into Parliament, but which, it requires no gift of prophecy to foretel, will never be. entered upon the Statute Book of this Empire. With every respect for the private character of Mr. Slaney, it will not, in this country, be thought that remarks, however strong, on public measures, ought to be considered personally hostile to the interests of those whose public intentions, when propounded, are made the subject of animadversion ; and when, as in the present instance, those inten- tions assume a legislatorial shape, and ( whether wittingly or not) are revolutionary in their nature, no language applied to them can be so strong as to deserve the reprobation of those who are anxious to preserve the landmarks ofthe Constitution. Mr. Slaney, it is true, does not appear in the character of a Jacobin, a Leveller, a Republican, or a Radical Reformer : he comes in the shape of a Malthusian— of a Political Economist— a political Beet of recent origin,— of specious sound,— many of them, from their rank in life, of unsuspected, and ( as far as their own knowledge and foresight regard- ing their own intentions go,) of well meant though mistaken motives: but yet, for these very reasons, a political sect whose insidious attempts should be the more closely watched, and at all times exposed' In their true colours to the public examination. To enter here upon a history of the Poor Laws would be a waste of time, and of the room which ought to be differently occupied in your Journal. The " undoubted right of claim of the aged, sick, lame, blind, impotent, et caterato Parochial Relief, is urged by Mr. Slaney himself; but then he does not state, what I am now about to say, that in the " et ccctera" which he uses is included the undoubted right of the very class of persons whose birthright he proposes to abrogate. A British Parliament iscertainly generally looked upon as a body all but omnipotent for certain objects; yet the experience of History informs us, that even the Parliament has been, and ought to be, checked when its decisions tend to destroy the balance of the Constitution, or to destroy any of the integral parts of that Constitution, oue of which parts has always been held to be the securing to a man the property which he has legally inherited or honestly acquired. If Mr. Slaney had, as has beeu attempted by other labourers in the field of Political Economy, brought forward a proposition that went to deprive of their just possessions a large and wealthy body of the community, cither lay or eccle- siastical, the tocsin of alarm would have brought into the field a vigorous array of talented aud powerful and wealthy assailants; and happy is it, that his proposition, which would, if carried into effect, take away the inheritance of the poor, and of that class of poor which has hitherto been considered their country's pride, has also found talented and powerful opposition in the public Press of the country. By the law of the land, if a poor man, whether he lias a family of only four children, or whether Tie has no family at all, cannot obtain employment, he has an undoubted right to demand relief in the shape of employment to be furnished and paid for by the parish, or relief in the shape of money, from the overseers of the parish in which he has obtained a legal settlement; and if such poor man does obtain other employment, and he can shew that the wages paid to him ( and which, of course, at such times be can have no power to raise) are inadequate to furnish himself, or to furnish his family, if he has one, w ith the necessaries of life, then he has also an undoubted right to parochial aid. It was reserved for Mr. Slaney to commence the project of depriv- ing the poor man of this his only resource in periods © f distress— such as it has been the lot of many poor persons now living to experience, who have come under their calamitous operation without any fault of their own, and in many instances under circum- stances which no foresight of theirs could have prevented. Mr. Slaney may, indeed, say— O! but there is a discretionary power given to afford relief. I answer, first, he has no moral right even to attempt his proposed innovation— it is a robbery ofthe poor . — only qualified by being brought forward as a Parliamentary measure. In the second place, even if his proposition were not an infringement of a legal aud ( in England) a natural and a moral right, still it is in itself of most obnoxious tendency; for, by forming overseers of parishesinto Courts without appeal, it would inevitably create a host of petty tyrants in all parts of the kingdom : it. would place the uncontrolled power of withholding relief in the hands of those who are directly interested in with- holding it: and, in the common course of events, poor but deserving men would frequently be reduced to the situation of having to ask relief of the very individuals from whom, for various and often una- voidable and perhaps personal reasons, they c an have uo hope to obtain it. The results of such a system, if it were only for a moment to be supposed that it could ever be put in operation, I need not enlarge upon.— If it should be supposed, by any possible mistake, that the prevention of imposition or fraud is the real object of the proposed Bill, I shall only say, the pretence is not tenable; for there is no case of fraud or imposition for which there is not a remedy and a punishment already on the Statute Book as far as law can be made to reach such eases; aud for those cases which the law never can be brought to meet in practice, the present system, by which the talent of the Magistrate is brought to assist the parish officers, will be found much more advantageous than the proposed enactment. There is, however, another view ofthe subject — a constitutional one— to which it is important that the public attention should be directed, as evincing the mode in which tbe system of the Political Eco- nomists is likely to affect the National Interests. When Mr. Wolryclie Whitmore introduced his recent motion on the subject of our East India Trade, & c. Mr. Slaney seconded it, and in a perora- tion that appeared uncommonly fine and liberal on paper, dwelt upon the fancied prospect of the future reign of liberty in our East Indian possessions, hinting at their present condition as contrasted with the state of affairs in colonies lost to this country, and which now form the United States of North Aimrica. This was, no doubt, very wise and politic, aud very liberal— very liberal indeed! " Give me ships, COLONIES, and commercesaid Napoleon: but our Political Economists seem anxious that these things should be possessed by every nation rather than by our own. To the point, however:— when in the luxuriance of his philanthropic and liberal fancy, Mr. Slaney looked forward to the freedom of our Eastern possessions, his view of liberty in those remote regions must necessarily include the a olition of what is there termed caste— a native custom, by which large portions of the people are brought up and detained in certain lines of obtaining a livelihood, and are thereby considered of honourable or dishonourable caste, according as their means of living holds a reputable or disreputable place in public opinion. That custom Mr. Maney must of course wish to see abolished ; and yet, with unparalleled inconsist- ency, in this his native country, which is peculiarly styled the land of freedom, he would urge an enact- ment against the agricultural labourer— against the boasted peasant, that would reduce him below the legal level of a shoemaker or a fiaxclresser, and would actually place him in a state of caste, and out of the consideration, as to parochial relief, of the law which Mr. Slaney intends to remain for the governance of " mechanics, artisans, and manufac- turers."— Such are the sober and enlightened views of a Political Economist! I shall now, Sir, dismiss the subject; but not without expressing my approbation of some remarks which appeared in one of your late journals, on the real advantages to be attained by giving encourage- ment to Friendly Societies. Any man who has rightly studied the temper of the people of England, ought to know that they may be led, but that they wiil not be driven, and that if it is sought to place the working classes in a state that shall ensure to them a comparative independence, they must be induced to enter into that state of their own free will, although it may not be the result exactly of their own mere motion. There are now about a million of persons in Friendly Societies in this kingdom. It may, therefore, be fairly and honestly presumed, that a system which has been voluntarily adopted to such an immense extent, is one that meets the views and feelings of the people; and there can be no question that, if well regulated ( as most of them are, and as all may be,) and duly encouraged, they would do more, conjointly with the Savings Banks, towards checking Pauperism, and towards estab- lishing the comparative independence of the work- ing- classes, than any plan which the Political Economists have yet promulgated. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, JUNIUS. uly 13,1827. ruddy ; they are naturally a cheerful people, and, in- 1 deed, when one considers how many hours they pass in subterraneous darkness, it is not surprising that they Viiould look upon the sunshine of the sabbath as the signal, not only of rest, but of high aud active natural enjoyment. The 6 ticketing,'' or weekly sale of the ores, forms a curious feature of the system of milling in Cornwall. The ores are generally made up by the tributers into heaps of about a hundred tons each ; and samples, or little bags, from each heap, are sent to the agents for the different copper companies. The agents take these to the Cornish assayers— a set of men who ( strange to relate) are destitute of the most distant notion of the theories of chemistry or metallurgy, hut who nevertheless can practically determine with great accuracy the value of each sample of ore. As soon as the agents have been informed of the assay, they de- termine what sum per ton they will offer in the nann s of the respective companies for each heap of ores at the weekly meeting or ticketing. AI this meeting all the mine agents, as well as the agents for the several copper companies, attend, and it is singular to see the whole of the ores, amounting to several thousand tons, sold without the utterance of one single word. The agents for the copper companies, seated at a long table, hand up individually to tbe chairman a ticket tender, stating what sum per Son they offer for each he; ip. As soon as every man has delivered his ticket, they are all ordered to be printed together in a tabular form. The largest sum offered for each heap is dis- tinguished by a line drawn under it in the table; and the agent who has made this offer is the purchaser, Flattery, Slander, and Tmth. THE TIN MINES OF CORNWALL. The largest mines in Cornwall are the Consolidated Mines, tlie United Mines, Ihe Poldice Mine, ihe Dalcoaih Mine; all of which are in lulls of clay- slate or killas, three or four hundred feet above Ihe level of ihe sea, and in Ihe neighbourhood of ihe town of Redruth. These mines run east and west; and they are about half- way between the two shores of the British and Bristol Channels. To one unaccustomed lo a mining country, the view from Cairn Marlh, which is a rocky eminence of seven hundred and fifty. seven feel, is full of novelty. Over a surface, neither mountainous nor Hat, hut diversi- fied from sea lo sea by a constant series of low un- dulating bills aud vales, the farmer and the miner seem lo be occupying the country in something like Ihe confusion of warfare. The situations of the Con- solidated Mines, the United Mines, the Puldice Mine, & c. & c. are marked out by spots a mile in length by half a mile in breadth, covered wilh what are termed Ibe deads' of Ihe mine— i. e. slaty poisonous rubbish, thrown up in rugged heaps, which, at a distance, gi\ e Ihe place the appearance of an encampment of soldiers' tents. This lifeless mass follows the course of the main lode ( which, as has been said, generally runs east and wesl); ami from il, iu diffcicnt directions, minor branches of the same barren rubbish diverge through the fertile country, like ihe streams of lava from a volcano. The miner being obliged to have a shaft for air ut every hundred yards, and Ihe stannary laws allowing him freely lo pursue his game, his hidden path is commonly lo be traced by a series of heaps of ' deads,' which rise up among ihe green fields, and among the grazing cattle, like the workings of a mole. Steam engines, and whims, ( large capstans worked by two or four horses,) are scattered about ; aud in the neighbourhood of Ihe old, as well as of Ihe new woik- ings, are sprinkled, one hy oue, a number of small whitewashed miners'cottages, which, being neither on a road, nor near a road, wear lo the eye of the stranger the appearance of having been dropl down d- propos to nothing.— Such, or ool very dissimilar, is in most eases the superficial view ofacountry the chief wealth of which is subterraneous. Early in the morning Ihe scene becomes animated. From the scattered cottages, as far as the eye can icaih, men, women, and children of all ages begin to creep out ; and il is curious to observe them all con verging like bees towards the small hole al which lliey are lo < liter their mine. On their arrival, the woman and children, whose duly ii is Io dress or clean ihe ore, repair lo the rough sheds under which they work, while the men, having stripped and put 011 Iheir un- derground cloihcs, ( which are coarse flannel dresses,) one after another descend the several shafts of Ihe mine, by perpendicular ladders, lo their respective levels or galleries— one of which is nine hundred and ninety feel below Ihe level of Ihe ocean. As soon as they have all disappeared, a most remaikahle stillness prevails— scarcely a human being is lo be seen The tall chimneys of the steam engines emit uo smoke; aud nothing is in motion but Ihe great 1 bobs' or levers of these gigantic machines, which slowly rising and falling, exerl their power, either lo lift the water or produce from the mine, or lo slamp Ihe ores; and in Ihe tranquillity of such a scene, il is curious to call In mind Ibe busy occupations of the hidden thousands who are al work; to coutiast the natural verdure of the country w ith the dead product of Ihe mines, and Io observe a few callle ruminating ou Ihe surface of green sunny fields, while man is buried and toiling benealll limn iu darkness and seclusion. The Sunday is kept with great attention. The mining community, male and female, are remarkably will dressed, and as they come from llie church or meetings, there is certainly no class iu England al all equal lo lllem in appearance; for they are naturally good looking. Working away from sun and wind, their complexions are never weather- beaten, aud often The following sketches are exceedingly impel' feet, but they may, perhaps, induce some abler hand to undertake and execute the task. Flattery has a delicate frame— a loose silken dress of ever- varying hues— and a soft, silent, insi- nuating' gait, which it is not easy to imitate or describe. Her florid countenance wears a perpetual smile, and her melting voice steals upon the ear, and often thrills, with agreeable sensations, every fibre of the heart. She paints and perfumes with wonderful art, and purveys delicacies for the great with unwearied assiduity; so that she carries her pallet and colours, her incense- box and honey- pot, into all companies; but these things being cau- tiously wrapt in a fold of her garment, they can only be seen by a penetrating and practised observ- er. A more wily and dangerous enchantress does not exist 011 the face of the earth— and yet she is the very life and soul ofthe fashionable world ; for when she is absent, the whole region is filled with vapours and complaints. I am told that she is a special favourite at court, and that the soothing whisper of her voice never fails to give a fine Row of spirits to a bevy of beauties, or a band of gallants. Nor are her visits unfreqnent in the walks of litera- ture, where authors, who ought to know better, may be seen snuffing up her incense, aud devouring her dainty morsels, wilh 110 small satisfaction. You might be pleased with some specimens of her eloquence, but the difficulty of doing justice fo them, or the chance of losing their ethereal spirit, induces me to decline any attempt of this kind, indeed, it is not necessary for her always to speak : her obsequious and bewitching manner, and her flattering attentions and assiduities are such as cannot be easily resisted. Nay, more— when she is even absent, her influence may be perceived by the pictures she has drawn, the perfumes she has scat- tered, and the luscious sweets she has prepared and left behind her. All these Vanity takes care to preserve as long as they will keep, and sits at ease to gaze and regale ou them. The second personage I have to delineate is Slander. Deformed, hideous, and malignant— this pest almost baffles description. Her dwelling has the blast of barrenness around it •. Here foul- moilth'd Slander tie. reclin'd, Her snaky tresses hiss behind ; A bloated toad stool bears lier head. The plumes of ravens are her bed ; She feeds upon tbe viper's brood, And slakes her impious thirst with blood. — When Flattery paints, she makes a lavish use of gay and pleasant colours; when Slander tries her hand in the same art, she always caricatures and calumniates. Flattery bears about luxuries and sweet odours; but Slander carries a phial, filled with the essence of henbane, hemlock, aud deadly night- shade. She also employs scavengers to rake up and collect the most noxious and offen- sive matter, which she bottles up for the hateful purpose of aspersing and blackening the fairest characters. Wherever this foetid and polluted fluid falls, it leaves a blot which it is very difficult to remove. Slander has an acute ear, a pryinsr, penetrative eye, and a shrill, powerful voice. Her limbs too, are active, and so lubricated, that she often slips from the vengeful hands of those who determine to chastise her. One might, indeed, presume that a general conspiracy would be formed to hunt down and destroy this vile monster; but, strange as it may seem, though every one dreads her touch and her tongue as regards himself, most people take pleasure in beholding the mischief she does among their neighbours, or in hearing and interpreting the echoes of her voice. You must know, there is a meagre, ill- favoured urchin, called Envy, who acts as her prompter, and is ever and anon feigning some new, or vamping up some old scandals for her use. With this busy, base- born, cunning assistant, she gets more materials, and finds more acceptance, than any one would believe, were not facts before our eyes. Though, ns 1 before said, Slander has a set of senses, nerves, and mueeles, by no means deficient in acuteuess and vigour, yet to these powers of nature are superadded all the inventions and re- sources of art. She has two trumpets ; one to gain intelligence of every thing passing, and the other to communicate it. When she takes her post in the tower of observation, and adjusts her ear- trumpet, the reports of the town and district, however faint, are distinctly heard, so that not a whisper escapes her.— Yes; her tunnels aud conductors are con- structed in a manner which enables her lo catch the very shadow of a sound. But who can describe the effects of her speaking- trumpet?— Strife and discord wake up at the blast. A thousand echoes repeat what she utters, and, after dying away, return at distant intervals. Slander, besides these instruments for receiving and communicating intel ligence, carries a quiver full of poisoned arrows, which she shoots with such dexterity, as seldom to miss her mark.— When, in the dusk of evening, she sallies from her tower wilh these deadly weapons, the most worthy and meritorious are the first vic- tims of her malice. If she misses her aim, which is sometimes the case, she stands for a time thunder struck, paralyzed, and pilloried in the grasp of Shame. The third personage I have to introduce, is Truth. Her person is majestic and noble, her dress sober and becoming, her step and movement firm, decisive, and energetic. In her countenance we neither see the florid colour and forced smile of Flattery, nor the livid paleness and repulsive frown of Slander. There is nothing in her aspect, voice, or manner, which betrays weakness and effeminacy, but much that reminds us of the severe and awful beauty of the immortals.— To the good offices of this unassuming, but illustrious personage, society is infinitely indebted. Slander often slinks away at the sound of her voice ; and Flattery can never bear the lightning of her eye. Much of her eni- I ployment is to detect and counteract the mischiefs which they do. She has an apparatus which washes away the gaudy colours laid on by the hand of Adulation, and wipes out the dark sfains imprinted by Calumny. She carries in one hand a measure called the Golden Rule, and in the other a mirror named Sincerity. With the former, she ascertains the limits of right and wrong; with the latter * Tis thou who dost with lies the throne invade, By practice hardened in the slandering trade; Obtending heaven for whate'er ilia befall, Ami spuU'ring, under specious names, thy gall. But it must be acknowledged, that Truth has many enemies, and that they sometimes enter into alliance, and combine all their efforts to crush, or at any rate to silence and confound her.— A thousand stratagems are devised, and ten thousand acts of perfidy and violence are practised ; poisoned darts are shot, masked batteries are planted around, aud mines of mischief sprung beneath. Yet when, amidst all these dark plots and confederacies, these direful assaults and explosions, it might seem as if Truth were fallen and annihilated, she has suddenly risen up with the unimpaired vigour aud beauty of youth. Some, therefore, have thought she wears celestial armour under her clothing : and others, that she must have been dipped, like Achilles, in a peculiar solution, which has rendered every part of her frame invulnerable. It is worthy of remark, that the friends of Truth, according to the degree in which they become attached to her, and intimately conversant with her, always imbibe her spirit aud copy the dignity of her deportment. In their looks and words, an ingenuous frankness and simplicity appears; in their actions and pursuits, a calm decision, joined with undeviatingrectitude and unshaken confidence, is seen. They refuse at all times, and in all circum- stances, to walk with Slander, and wiil neither listen to the soft soothing accents, nor inhale the lavish incense of Flattery. Truth feeds them with her own plain but wholesome and invigorating diet; adorns them with her own fair girdle of strength and honour ; guides and conducts them, with her own infallible clue, through all the perplexing labyrinths of life. Nor is this all : they share in her conflicts, anticipate a part in her future tri- umphs, and exulting sing, Magna est Veritas et prcevalebit. RUSTICUH. exposes all the artifices of falsehood and deceit. 1 have seen fraud and treachery, by the first reflec- tion of this mirror, start up in their dark and horrid forms. Slander will not, if possible, stay where Truth comes, and always strenuously objects to the use of what she calls her magic glass. It is a curious sight to see these two warmly contending. Not long ago I witnessed one of their contests. Slander raised a hideous cry, and a thick cloud of dust, searching for her trumpets and her quiver; Truth pressed nearer and nearer, wafting away the dust, and attempting to hold up the mirror before the face of her adversary; but, not succeeding in this, she sprang forward, and tried to seize her, but the subtle pest slipped away like an empty shade. I heard Truth indignantly say, as her euetny fled— f& tocellaiwmis Intelligence. On Saturday the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury gave a grand entertainment in the steam vessel called the Favourite, to the Duke of Welling ton, Lord Hill, and about SO of the first rank of both sexes. The party went 011 board at the Tower stairs, and proceeded fo Greenwich. A grand fish dinner was prepared for them at the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, and served to them on the deck of the vessel, which was arranged in the first style of elegance. Dancing commenced early in the even- ing, and continued until between ten and eleven o'clock, when the party returned to town. The Right Hon. William Moel Hill, our present Ambassador at Naples, is on his way to this country, on a temporary leave of absence. PAUTIKS IN ENGLAND.—" The earnest admir. atiou of either party of the state is sure in England to be balanced by the censure ofthe other, and leads to an immediate trial of strength betwixt them. The popular side is always the more loud, the more active, the more imposing of the two contend- ing parties. It is formidable, from the body of talents which it exhibits ( for those ambitious of distinction are usually friends of innovation), and from the unanimity and vigour with which it can vrield them. There may be, and indeed always are, great differences in Ihe point to which each leader is desirous to carry reformation; but they are unanimous in desiring its commencement. The Opposition, also, as it is usually termed, has always included several of the high aristocracy of the country, whose names ennoble their rank, aud whose large fortunes are a pledge, that they will, for thtir own sakes, be a check upon eager and violent experimentalists. The Whigs, moreover, have the means of influencing assemblies ofthe lower orders, to whom the name of liberty is, aud ought to be dear, since it is the piivilege which must console them for narrow circumstances and inferiority of condition ; and these means the party, so called, often use successfully, always with industry aud assiduity. « The counterbalance to this active and powerful body is to be found, speaking generally, iu the higher classes at large— the great mass of nobility and gentry— the clergy of the Established Church — the superior branches of the law— the wealthier of the commercial classes— and the bulk of those who have property to lose, and are afraid of endan- gering it. This body is like the Ban of the Ger- manic empire, a formidable force, but slow and diffident in its operations, and requiring the stimulus of sudden alarm to call it into effective exercise. To one or other of these great national parties, every Englishman, of education enough to form an opinion, professes to belong; with a perfect under- standing 011 the part of all men of sense and probity, and the general purpose is to ballast the vessel of the state, not to overset it, and that it becomes a state treason in any oue to follow his party when they carry their doctrines to extremity. " From the nature of this grand national division it follows, that the side which is most popular should be prompt in adopting theories, and eager in recommending measures of alteration aud improve- ment. It is by such measures that men of talents rise into importance, and by- such that the popular part ofthe constitution is maintained in its integrity. The other party is uo less useful, by opposing to each successive attempt at innovation the delays of form, the doubts of experience, the prejudices of rank and condition, legal objections, and the weight of ancient and established practice. Thus, measures of a doubtful tendency are severely scrutinized in parliament, and if at length adopted, it is only when public opinion has long declared 111 their favour, and when men's minds having become habituated to the discussion, their introduction into our system cannot produce the violent effect of absolute no- velty. If there were no Whigs, our constitution would fall to pieces for waut'of repair; if there were 110 Tories, it would be broken in the course of a succession of rash and venturous experiments." While the late Mr. Gifford was at Ashburton, he contracted an acquaintance with a family of that place, consisting of females somewhat advanced in age On one occasion, he ventured on the perilous exploit of drinking tea with these elderly Ladies. After having demolished his usual allowance of tea, he found, in spite of his remonstrances to the contrary, that his hostess would by no means suffer him to give up, but persisted in making him drink a most incredible quantity. " At last " said Giff'ord, in telling the story, " being really over, flooded with tea, I pat down my fourteenth cup, and exclaimed with an air of resolution, ' I neither can nor will drink any more.' The hostess then seeing she had forced more down my throat than 1 liked, began to apologise, and added, ' but dear Mr. Gifford, as you didn't put your spoon across your cup, I supposed your refusals were nothing but good manners! "* SPIDERS.— To our readers in general, and lo entomologists in particular, we conceive that ihe following instance of ingenuity in a spider, which was witnessed by Ihe writer of Ibis article, will not be uninteresting.— A web was observed lo be tightly strplched across a garden path, about 5 feel in breadth Ihe reticulated portion occupying Ihe centre, and one of Ihe principal threads lo which this part was at. tached, had a vertical direction ; upon examining in what manner this was fastened to Ihe ground, it was found lhat the ingenious iusec, instead of having permanently fixed il to Ihe gravel path, had roiled il round a stone a lillle larger than ils own body, and had raised ibis about a foot from Ihe walk, where 11 was swinging in the air, giving the necessary degree of tension lo ihe net work of Ihe web, bul not afford ing a sufficient resistance to Ihe wind lo occasion ils destruction.— Monthly Magazine. BOTANY.— Some curious observations have re- cently been made by two of the members of the Philomathic Society of Paris, on the manner in which circulation takes place in a certain plant ( charagncJ. This plant viewed wilh the assist ar. ee of a microscope which magnifies fifteen hun- dred times, presents the phenomenon, hitherto unique, of the motion of two liquid currents, the one ascending, the other descending, circulatin the same tube, without being separated by the slighest partition. The reality of this phenomenon is placed out of doubt by the evident passage of certain molecules in oue of the currents, which attracted by the current that runs the other way' are from time to time carried away by it. The tube in which ihis double circulation occurs is of a very sensible diameter. A traveller lately returned from Florida says, il is the most fertile country he ever found, the ' lauds producing forty bushels of frogs to the acre, and alligators enough to fence them.— American Paper We observe that in Dublin another attempt is making by ihe Roman Catholic Association lo levy Ihe tax called ihe " Catholic Rent." It appears thai the " orators" are not satisfied wilh the " cheers" and " applauses" which llleir harangues always call forth — they want more substantial tokens of" popularity." They think patriotism a poor idol to worship, unless, like llie image of a Romish Saint, it is made rich by the offerings of Ihe people. For Ihis purpose Mr. O'Connell has called again upon the Priests to assist in the pious work of collecting the pennies from Ihe " empty pockets" of the " finest peasantry in Ihe world." Now it is a curious fact, that the Irish Members in ihe House of Commons are always insisting that Ireland is overtaxed; and al ihe same lime those among them who most usually talk in that way never cried out against the ( ax which Mr. O'Connell and Ihe Priests raised upon that deluded and complaining people, and which, al one time, amounted lo about £ 1,000 per week. What is the reason that the Irish Members saw nothing objection- able in Ihis tax, aud that, too, at a period when famine was said 10 be making ils ravages through the country? Simply because they knew Ihe lax was collected principally by the influence of the Priests, whom the poor Irish dared not disobey, and they feared thai influence would be turned against them at Ihe elections if they attempted lu release their miserable con- stituents from this burden. In return for Ihe contri- butions thus received, Mr. O'Connell aud his parly attempted lo exterminate the forty- shilling freeholders, and to place Ihe whole Roman Catholic Priesthood on the pension- list of John Bull. These projects having failed, the Priests began lo discover lhat, by filling Ihe treasury of ihe political Barristers, Attorneys, and other adventurers of Ihe Association, at the expense of Iheir flocks, they were not leaving sufficient fleece for themselves at shearing- time— or, in other words, by using their spiiiinal power lo enforce the collection of the political tribute, they rendered the people less capable of paying iheir own dues, and Ihey, in consequence, withdrew from such a self denying office. The peasantry of Ireland are shrewd, though superstitious— they had long seen the humbug of Ihe thing, but as long as Ihe Priests exerted themselves as collectors, Ihey could not, while they believed in purgatory and absolution, refuse to pay, without danger lo their future welfare, besides incurring Ihe hazaid uf temporal persecution. No sooner, however, did Iheir spiritual fathers abandon " Ihe thing," than the subscriptions rapidly sunk, and at last the tax fell lo the ground. At Ihe time when Parliament was passing an Act to suppress Ihis thing, we knew lhat, if left alone, Ihe imposition would al lenglh correct itself, and in a more effectual way than any Acl of Parliament could do. In fact, the thing was not put down bv Ihe law, for it was continued, by a verbal evasion of Ihe law, for some time afler it was enacted, and at last came lo au end in Ihe way which we have described. We do uot wonder that Ihe Association attempt lo revive il. Even to Ihis hour, efforts are making to get up anew some of the " bubbles" which have already caused so much delusion and misery in England. Why should not the " Association" love to have the fingering of public money as well as any Joint stock Company in London? But if Ihey can- not prevail upon the Priests lo bestir themselves again 11s collectors in " the cause," the orators may talk themselves hoarse before they will be able any more to exact a princely revenue from a people who are represented to he unable lo bear Ihe weight of their legitimate taxes.— Morning Herald. A gentleman lately returned from New South Wales has favoured us wilh the following story :— Having occasion frequently lo pass from Sydney to Cockle Bay, and being always ferried across by an old, honest- looking, seafaring man, I was once induced to ask him the cause of his transportation. The question brought a tear from his eye, and, as il glistened 011 his cheek, he told me, he was one of the crew of the Royal George, at Ihe time of her sinking, al Spiliiead. " I was silting between decks," said he, " looking at some young gentlemen, who were playing at cards for a considerable sum, w hen the alarm was given. They immediately dropped iheir cards, and flew 011 deck, leaving about ten guineas on Ihe table, which 1 took the liberty to put into my pocket, and seeing the water rush in at one side of Ihe ship, 1 jumped out of a port on the other, and was immediately taken up by a boat, which landed me and a few others at Ports mouth. Fearing 1 might meet the young gentlemen, whose money I had, 1 set off for London, where my friends lived. The dishonest act I had committed weighed heavily 011 my mind ; hut, instead of resolving lo return Ihe money, I got into bad company, who led me to greater crimes, aud, in less than a year, was capitally convicted at Ihe Old liailey, and should have been hung, had not a friend, who, influenced by the afflicting account I gave of the loss of Ihe brave Admiral Kempenfclt, and my ship- males, and my providential escape, obtained a remission of my punishment lo fourteen years transportation. I was sent out among the first of the convicts to this colony, where 1 have endeavoured to atone for the violation of Ihe laws of my country at home, by strict con- formity to them here, and trust, by sincere repentance and gratitude to the God of all goodness for affording me lime and disposition, 1 have oblained forgiveness. In ihis country, Sir, where I here are so few exciiemenls to sin, and so many to honest industry, callous indeed must be the heart which does not get rid of vicious propensities. I married soon afler 1 got here, and my wife and myself have brought up a large family, and have now several grand- children, and, I thank God, ihey are all sober, honest, and industrious. My bowels often yearn to revisit the dear land of my father, bul that cannot be; 1 cannot leave my children; poor old John Waters will never see old England again. Forty years have 1 been here, praising Ihe mercy lhat spared me from an ignominious death, and Ihe bounty that has blessed my exertions to provide fur my numerous offspring."— Southampton Herald. POLITICAL AND MORAL IKTERKST— The po- litical interest of the public appears to he in au inverse proportion with the geographical distance of the place, and the immediate importance of the subject; ils moral concern, 011 the other hand, is in something more tha n the direct proportion of the distance, and Ihe inverse of Ihe importance of the matter to our own community. Political interest, for example, scarcely reaches India ; while moral concern is ihere iu ils greatest force, and flags as it approaches home. A statement of the defective government of a hundred millions in ( the East will not command so much attention as the case of an apple- woman's stall oppressively upset in Oxford- slreet ; but let a question of ethics be agitated J and we consider the irregularity wilh an earnestness increasing with the space by which il is separated from us. Our morality, like the good wife in scripture, fetches ils food from afai ; it is of an essentially gad about genus, and delights in taking cognizance of what is done in other men's houses, while our policy remains chained tn our doors. In St. Giles's, on a modi rate calculation, three hundred aud sixty- five fish- wives destroy themselves in Ihe course of ihe year, by pouring liquid fire down Iheir throats.— This is very properly considered an affair between the ladies and their stomachs, aud 110 mortal interferes, or thinks of going into fils at Ihe idea of lhe. se spiritual suicides. On the banks of ihe Ganges, round dozen of widows destroy themselves in ihe course of Ihc year, by taking fire outside instead of in : and half England is weeping, wailing, and gnashing its teeth at the scandal.— London Magazine. POWER OF THE HUMAN EYE.— The overruas. tering power of ihe human eye upon the lion has been frequently mentioned by travellers. From my own inquiries, lam perfectly satisfied of the fact; aud an anecdote lhat was related lo me by Major Mackintosh, proves lhat Ihis fascinating effect is not confined ex- clusively to Ihe lion. Au officer in India having chanced tu ramble into a jungle, suddenly encountered a royal liger. The encounter appeared equally unex- pected un both sides, and both parlies made a dead halt, earnestly gazing on each oilier. The gentleman had no fire- arms, and was aware lhat a sword would be no effective defence in a struggle for life wilh such au antagonist. But he had heard lhat even the Bengal liger might be sometimes checked by looking him firmly iu the face. He did so: in a few minutes ihe liger, which appeared preparing tu lake his fatal spring, grew disturbed, shrunk aside, and attempted iu creep round upon him behind. The officer turned constantly upon ihe tiger, which slill continued to shrink from his glance ; but darling into Ihe thicket, and again issuing furtli al a different quarter, it per- severed for above ail hour in Ihis attempt tn catch him by surprise; till al lasl it fairly yielded ihe contest, and left ihe gentleman to pursue his pleasure walks. The direction he now look, as may be easily believed, was straighi lu ihe tents al double quick time. Thompson's Southern A frica. An advertiser in an Irish paper states, that his metal window sashes " will last for ever," aud afterwards " sell for old iron." We some time ago announced, says the Cheltenham Chro icle, " that the King had consented to hit name appearing as the patron of the ensuing Wor- cester Musical Festival, and we now feel gratified in stating that he intends being present on th. occasion ; we have also heard, from good authority, that he purposes honouring this town with his presence for a few days on his return." PEAR TREES— It is really surprising, says a scientific writer, in allusion to the grafting of pears 011 a quince- stock, that English gardeners should so long have neglected a practice which has long beeu followed in France, and to which the excellence of French pears is in a great degree to be attributed. The quince used as a stock, has the property of stunting the growth of pear trees, of forcing them to produce bearing branches, instead of sterile ones, and of accelerating the maturity of the fruit. No small garden should contain pear trees grafted in any other way, nor any large garden be without them to a considerable extent. THE BEECH TREE A NONCONDUCTOR OF LIGHTNING.— Dr. Beelon, in a letter to Dr. Mitchill, of New York, dated 19th July, 1824, slates, thai the beech tree ( lhat is, the broad leaved or American variety of Fagus sylxaticaj is never known to be assailed by atmospheric electricity. So notorious, he says, is Ibis fact, lhat in Tenessee, it is considered almost an impossibility, to be struck by lightning, if protection be sought under the branches of a beech, tree. Whenever tlie sky puts on a threatening aspect, and the thunder begins lo roll, Ihe Indians leave iheir pursuit, and betake themselves to Ihe shelter of the nearest becch tree, till ihe storm pass over; observa- ion having taught these sagacious children of nature, that, while other trees are often shivered lo splinters, Ihe electric fluid is not attracted by Ihe becch. Should further observation establish Ihe fact of the noncon- ducting quality of Ihe American beech, great ad- vantage may evidently be derived from planting hedge- rows of such trees around the extensive barn- yards in which callle are kept, and al? o in disposing groups and single trees in ornamental plantations in the neighbourhood of the dwelling- houses of the owners. TIIECAMELEOPARD —( From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.)— The lung- expected cameleupard has at length arrived, and made ils sulemn enlry into Paris at half- past five 011 Saturday afternoon. A Darfur negro, named Alir, and a Moor of Sennaar, called Hassan, bolh sent by the Pacha of Egypt, dressed in their turbans, & c. held Ihe animal in a halter, and were followed by two oilier Africans. It had been stripped at the gates of its travelling habit, which consisted of a covering of cloth, having 011 il the arms of France. It was accompanied by an escort of twenty- five gens d'armes, which had been sent to meet it at the gate of Villeneuve Saint Georges. All Ihe way from Marseilles to Paris, three gens d'armes, who were relieved every posl, attended, in order 10 protect it from mischief. A waggon, containing several oilier animals sent by the Pacha to the King, preceded the cortege, in which we noticed M. Geoffrey Saint Hilaire, who, forgetting the care of his health in his anxiety for Ihe interests of science, had constantly attended il till he approached within a few leagues of Paris, and then only confided his post lo his son, from his indisposition becoming too serious to be neglected. The cabinet of the Jarden drs Plantcs was Ihe first establishment in Europe which possessed tbe skin of camcleopard, others not having procured any till some time afler. Since the Roman conquests, none have been brought lo Europe alive, and it seems that il is rare even in central Africa, ils native country. That which has been sent to us measures twelve feet high, from the lop of the head ; but as il is only two years of age, it has much to grow. It has hitherto been fed upon milk, bul it now begins to eat grass and corn. lis skin is spotted like thai of a leopard ; hence ils name of a cameleopard. Its large and bril. liant eye might, at least as well as that of the gazelles, have furnished the Arabian poels wilh beautiful com- parisons.— It was a most singular sight to see it ap- proaching ils new dwelling, with its escort of Egyp- tians, gens. d'armes, and idlers. Its elegant head reached to the foliage of tlie chestnut trees; its long neck gracefully rose abuve the throng, and its well- set large eye was filled with mildness and joy. Hassan and Alir, proud of the beautiful animal their country had produced, had ornamented its neck wilh a vast wreath of flowers, near which were suspended several Arabian amulets. There was in the whole sight some- thing lhat recalled to mind the Thousand and One Nights. It has been lodged in Ihe Orangery, with several of the oilier Egyptian animals with it.— Yester- day il took ils first walk. More than 10,000 person, have been lo view it, Ihe public being admitted every day from ten to twelve o'clock. Near Broughton House, adjoining Aylesbury, a rook was seen, about a month ago, returning to her nestlings. The youngsters perceiving her ap- proach, were giving her welcome, with their ac- customed glee, while she, carefully reconnoitering the premises, had perched upon a neighbouring tree. The observer checked his pace to witness the result; when the wary old bird, who was evi- dently watching his motions, communicated alarm and caution to her young in an unusual and au- thoritative tone. It was but one note she uttered, but that was sufficiently significant, lna- aaoment the clamour of the nestlings was hushed, and all the time the observer was sauntering near the spot, not a chirp from the young birds could be heard. As soon as he halted, the watchful parent rested on her perch, on the look out; and when he walked, she rose on wing, hovering over him, and attempting' to drive him away. Such artifices, we are aware, are not uncommon among the feathered tribes, nor are they peculiar to the species. AmoDg them, however, there seems another fine faculty in exer- cise, in a more remarkable degree than any other animal— the faculty of promptly perceiving the " food convenient for them." Quadrupeds, in gene- ral, are slower in their decision upon this point; many of them examine their meat with all the senses they can apply to it, and some of them with much doubt and suspicion. All birds, 011 the other hand, appear to be directed in a moment to their proper food. Let grain or bread- crumbs, and cheese- parings, of any shape, be mixed with tho seeds of oranges or lemons, and thrown before do- mestic fowls, they will as quickly reject the latter as they will seiie either of the former, though the latter resemble their barley corns.— Buck* Chronicle. Mademoiselle Garnerin, who had been waiting for some days for a favourable opportunity of ex- hibiting to the inhabitants of Turin, the spectacle of an aerial voyage, ascended, ou the 30th June, from the Royal Gardens, in the midst of an im- mense concourse of spectators. The King and Queen of Sardinia condescended to be present at this fete. At the moment that the balloon, yet held by the ropes, passed before the windows of the palace, Mademoiselle Garnerin, with a flag in her hand, thrice saluted their Majesties, to which they replied by clapping their hands, an action which was the signal for universal acclamation. In a moment the balloon rose with extreme rapidity, and it became difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye. At that moment the intrepid aeronaut detached the parachute. The descent was dreadful, and the destruction of Mademoiselle Garnerin, appeared inevitable. At length the parachute opened, recovered completely its horizontal posi- tion, and put an end completely to the fears of the spectators. Mademoiselle Garnerin, on returning to the palace, had the honour of being presented to their Majesties, aud was afterwards escorted home in a vehicle, decorated with little flags, under the conduct of a picquet of cavalry.— Cluotiditr. r. a of Sunday.
