We are now prepared to consider the practicability — laying out of view for a moment all questions of policy— ofa Russian invasion of India. , That it is extremely feasible, from her position, for Russia to threaten, and create alarm in, our Indian provinces, it would be absurd to deny. Her vast extent of territory in the South of Europe has given her the complete command of the Black Sea aud the Caspian; her encroachments on Persia, nlready con- siderable, will be extended by the present contest, probably to the whole ofthe Araxes as a boundary, and at the same time place in her hands the key to the Turkish provinces in Asia Minor, together with the possession of the important fortress of Eri van in Armenia;— and with all these advantages she wiU be enabled, at any time, to assemble an army in Georgia of sufficient magnitude to undertake an expedition through Persia towards the Indian frontier. The most probable route, however, thai an expedi- tion against Hindustan vvould be likely to take, iu slarting from the confines of Russia, is that of setting out from Petropovlosk, on the Issim, crossing the steppe of that name, and a small portion of the Khergbis desert to Otrar, on the Sir- deiria or Jax- art. es, proceeding up lhat stream, and parallel fo it, lo Tounkat, Tashkend, Khodjeud, and thence lo Kho- kan. ' I'he greater portion of this route lies over a well- inhabited country, that would afford very con- siderable supplies fora large army. If the present powerful Sultan of Khok- an, under whose sway are the celebrated city and territory of Samarcand, should be favourably inclined towards tlie views of the invader* of India, he could afford very material assistance lo- an army across the Belut Tag, or misty mountains, into Affgauistan, or over the Hindoo Cush into Cau- bul, where, from holding out the prospect of plunder,: the invaders would have but little difficulty in prevail- ing on the warlike mountaineers to embark in iheir cause. — A race of men so ready to join 111 any expedition, whether against friends or enemies, wheie pillage and booty are held out as the promised reward; could hardly hesitate when the object set before them was. to sack the once splendid cities of Delhi and Agra, which their fathers so frequently succeeded iii plundering. Here then, iu all probability, the casu- alties of the invading army, from sickness, starvation, and deaihs, vvould he amply made up, in numerical force at least, to its original establishment,- not how- ever, by disciplined troops, but by a savage rabble, who, like th'ir marauding ancestors, would spare neither friend rior foe in their foraging parties as' they marched along. Any deficiency that there might be in point of numbers hi leaving Cabul, wotild easily be made good the march. A victorious army of Tartars has generally - commenced its ravages in small numbers, hich increase in magnitude like a rolling snow- ball. Athman, the founder of the Ottoman Empire, set out from the plains of Charism with no greater force than could he raised among four hundred families. Intel- ligence of an extraordinary instance of this kind has reached us at the moment we are writing. ( April24 ) ' t is that ofa Mahomedan chief having left Casbgar iu oorkis. tn. il w ilh a very small force of Tartar, horsemen, and having proceeded to the borders of China ; he is said to have collected in his march an army of two hundred thousand horsemen, and with these to have' actually entered the province oi' Shensee, his object' being that of driving out tbe family of Manchoos, who' wield the sceptre of this populous but feeble empire, and of placing a new dynasty on the throne. We- have not the smallest doubt thai one- half of the number of Ushecks, or Toorkies,* would with ease sweep all before them, from Pekin to Canton, and from Sliensee to the Yellow Sea. It would be an xtraordinary revolution, if this surprising ad venturer should be the means of planting, the standard- of the prophet on the battlements of Pekin. It is thus that Tartars, of whatsoever tribe, will always be found ready for any expedition which promises booty. Such an army, therefore, as we are supposing the Russians to consist of, might not only be joined by the moun- niueers of Affganisian, but have a fair chance of enlisting into their ranks the notorious Runjeet Sing and his warlike Seiks, on reaching the plains of the Punjaub, were it only for the sake of Resisting to- ' rive us out of India. As, however, th. e movements of such an army as we have been speaking of would necessarily- be a subject of notoriety long before t- i could approach ils destination, our force in India would, no doubt, be concentrated, and well prepared lo meet it : that force, we believe, falls not far short, in the whole, of three hundred thousand men. Sup- posing one- third only to be spared to oppose the invading enemy, well appointed as it would be in every arm, and no defection in the native troops, no apprehensions could possibly be entertained for fhe result, whatever may be the amount of the discordant masses brought against us. Alarm and confusion would no doubt be created among the inhabitants, a number of disturbances and petty risings might take place, bin one decisive battle would soon restore order ain. But how would it fare with the Russians, if they sustained defeat? Fatally enough, we may safely predict ; fn all probability not a man of then* would . escape to his own country to tell the melancholy story. The event, we have here been considering and dis- cussing is one which we do not contemplate as fey any means likely to happen. We think, ou the contrary, ' at all those missions and excursions of, Russians to the eastern tribes have had no oiber object than establishing friendly and commercial relations be- tween liiem, without any ulterior views; and our reason for thinking so is, that no views of sound policy could induce Russia lo disturb, much less ta hazard the vain attempt to deprive ns of, our posses- sions in the East, however desirous she may naturally nough feel to turn the current of our commerce into her own channels. Indeed, even if the result of suet* au enterprise were not dubious, it may be asked what national advantage she could hope to gain from it? She could not possibly flatter herself with the delusive expectalion of being able to add the peninsula of udia to the tenth part of the g- lobe which she already possesses ; and we will not suppose that any id- a of gratifying the wishes of a hungry army by plunder can have been taken up. Alas'. Delhi and Agra, which have so often excited the cupidity of the invaders of Hindustan, have nothing left worth plun- dering now. If the mere object were tliat of inflicting* injury on reat Britain, by distressing and unsettling her east- ern possessions, that would be the worst policy Russia could pursue, considering our means of retaliation. Russia, with all the vast extent of her dominions, is neither independent nor regardless of her foreign commerce. Her subjects would be bill ill disposed to sit down quietly under the loss of the Baltic aud Black Sea trade, the balance of which is so greatly in their favour"; and they know very well that we can at any time seal up these two, the chief, and almost only, outlets for her productions. In her present contest with Persia, the undisguised manner iu which she is pressing on Turkey, especially on the side of Armenia, the key to the Asiatic possessions of the Porte, cannot but afford serious uneasiness lo the Divan, who in the event of a rupture would not be disposed to refuse admittance to our navy into the Black Sea, ihe result of which to- Russia we need not stop to mention. I'he only cause that could induce Russia to undertake the quixotic enterprise we have been treating of — and it is one at which humanity shudders— would be that of gelling rid ofa certain portion of an army out of all proportion- numerous, in which a long- continued idleness and inactivity had induced a sta! e of discontent and insubordination. * Extract of a letter from Canton, November, 1826' The officers of government now acknowledge with great alarm that a most serious rebellion has broken out in the Tartar de- pendencies in the west; that it commenced by a white- tur- baned Mahomedan, the object1 being to ( h ive from the throne the Mane boo Tartar family. The neighbourhood of Cashgdr, in Toorkistan, is the seat of the rebellion, and the Eieuths have joined the rebel confederacy. The grand army of his irnoerial majesty has moved to the westward to meet the rebels, and levies of money are making in every province. The Russians have been ap- piied to not to aSbrtf at'ry assistance to the rebels.

SALOPIAN JOU1RNAJL, AMB COURIER OF WALES. OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. " An approximation to the danger of a War was certainly lo be apprehended, and ' avoided, if possible.. lie did not wish to be understood as dreading our being engaged in war in a good cause through any distrust of our power or resources; his apprehensions were quite of a different nature, and arose from reflecting on the tremendous power which this country pos- sessed, and that if a war should be the result of the measure's now adopted, ifle should have ranged on our side the disaJfvcU'd and dis contented of every nation; in Europe. Four years had served to convince. him of. the correctness of this opinion, and he feared" that the next war " which should be kindled iu Europe, would be a war of most tremendous consequence* -- it- w- ould not only be a war ot eorrtending force, but of conliieting opinions. It was impossible to say what" might be the direful consequences of letting loose angry passions, which were ill sealed up; no man could contemplate them without horror. Fur his own part he could ? iot sleep on his couch, if he were voluntarily and unnecessarily to precipitate measures-,- which might lead to such momentous, consequences." , It cannot be forgotten that the foregoing were several amongst many memorable opinions of the present Prime Minister of England, expressed so recently as in the month of December last, when he obtained the- rapturous applause, and the almost unanimous consent ofthe House of CmmvxmK to send a- British army to the defence and" protection of Portugal. Of the great oratorinl powers and per- suasive eloquence of . W. Canning, the speech in question is one of the' most splendid and striking specimens; and'at tW period of its delivery many ofthe fearful and portentous sentences it contained, were in a measure unheeded or, partially overlooked amidst the enthusiasm and impression which it was the Right Hou. Gentleman's object to cxcite in favour of the proposition he had to carry. His fore- bodings certainly did not pass wholly unnoticed either by the Press of this country or by that of France,— but now that the Right Hon.- Gentleman has acquired increased power and authority, and his ambition may be said to be fully sated,, it is impossible not to recur to his opinions wifh in- creased interest and apprehension. Event's at home, it is true, have of late exclWively engaged, and continue to absorb almost entirely tile public attention— aud his Majesty, and his Ministers,. have told us in the recent speedy from the throne, that the usual assurances of friendship aud peace were received from the foreign powers' with wlion* his • Majesty was in alliance. A- glance' at; Continental Politics cannot,- however,- be uninteresting, espe- cially as the new Administration were peculiarly careful to avoid every allusion to them,- and felt the enquiries of any intruding opposition rneurher with most sensitive alarm. The add- resses of Kings to their subjects, il certainly appears,. breathe nothing but peace; the olive branch waves over the field of Waterloo, over the banks of the/ Borodin a, over the plains of Germany, and- over the grave of Bona- parte ;—- but is this tranquillity realy or is it likely to be of long duration? If we were to judge of the future by ihe past, we should say, No. The history « > f Europe seldom records so long- a teriYi of peace: as £ he last struggle was great, perhaps the period of relaxation may be proportionately protracted. The exhaustion produced by thirty years*' a* sanguinary war may require a convalescence of twelve; per- haps it would be beneficial to add a few moons more; but if we may judge from appearance, the time is near its expiration.- In Europe all- the ingredients of war are already bu bbling. in the. cauldron; the incantation is almost completed that will bring all the elements of strife into colSfekm. On this subject, a very sensible u. Mele appears iu one of the hebdomadal J'ourhals of the Metropolis ; un honest and independent print, replefe witfi original matter, and one that in these degenerate days has courage to think for itself, aud boldness and talent to repeat and suggest its thoughts. We regret that we have only room to abridge its opinions upon this important subject " In the first place, at the southern extremity of Europe, we see Portugal a prey to . contending factions, without resources, almost without a government, aud her inhabitants indolent, disunited, turbulent, and impoverished. The constitution which emanated from the bureau of the British minister has but a nominal existence; it is Only preserved from extinction by foreign troops; it is detested by one- half of the popu- lation, and tolerated by the other half, more . from apathy, interest, and necessity, than from choice. On the frontiers is a Spanish army ready to take advan- tage of the first net of aggression to facilitate its overthrow. Don Miguel, tiie presumptive king, re- sides abroad, while his dominions are a prey to anarchy. The Princess Regent rules in the uarue of ihe charter, but she cannot find in the kingdom a sufficient number of able and responsible men to exe- cute the trusts of her government. All is disorganiza- tion, distrust, and disaffection. It is impossible that the constitution can survive; it will be overturned by the very persons iu whose name and for whose benefit it was given ; the Prince to whom it was entrusted by matrimonial compact, will be the first to seal its doom, and all those who were conspicuous in supporting it will be made its victims." It is, however, to support tliis constitutional charter that Greut Britain maintains a force of nearly & iv > Wmund men in Portugal. We have, afc a nation", set our reputation upon a cast ; the constitution is the offspring of our fully, hut if w e leave it to the fostering care of Don Miguel, or by neglect expose it to the chance of suicide,, our national honour will be tar- nished. Must we, then, go to war iu defence, of the constitution of Portugal ?" 4t By considering the situation of France, we shall be- enabled, perhaps, to answer the question (" peace or war") more distinctly. For some time the Bour- bons have acted as if they bad a presentiment of their eventual expulsion from the throne of St. Louis.— Every year witnesses some encroachment upon the liberties and chartered rights of the French. Charles's recent revival of the censorship is an odious exercise of kingly power. It proves, that, under the dominance ofthe Popish religion, a bridle must be put upon the thoughts aud opinions of men. The Jesuits now rule France; and where their influence prevails, the free- dom of public discussion must be restrained. Popery can only flourish where the press is made subservient to bigotry; aud the anomaly of Jesuitical power and religious toleration, existing under the same govern- ment, is explained by the coercive interference of foreign bayonets. His Christian Majesty imposed upon himself an invidious task when he came per, Konally into collision with his subjects, and made himself the sole and responsible author of these restrictions. 11 was a rash step to attempt by his prerogative what he could not effect by legislation; nnd it would not surprise us if it should prove the most unfortunate act of his life." 44 These are not the signs of peace. A brave people advancing in intelligence are not likely lo submit to the blind and remorseless edicts of priest- craft." 4< But the struggle may be protracted and disastrous nevertheless. The spirit which now influences llie councils of the French is an emanation of the prevail- ing system of Popery. It will be difficult to suppress it. It has a strong hold in Germany ; it is all power- ful in Spain ;, it is potent even iu Portugal. It will not yield without an appeal lo arms. In the Penin- sula it will carry all before it, unless opposed by England. Its first object will be to thwart our views in Portugal, and destroy the new institutions of that kingdom. That it will be successful can scarcely be doubted. That ill- timed effort of liberalism is ( loomed to be crushed. Mr. Canning, by his own confession, dare not fire a gun in defence, of the Anglo- Brazilian charter. He must yield to the party whom he. has no grounds for opposing. When he is letting loose the chained ministers of Popery upon his own country, and placing at the mercy of the agents of Rome the privileges of the Protestant Church, he cannot be so inconsistent as toeuihark in a foreign crusade against his own principles. He will fight for civil liberty; but the contest which will ensue will be termed" a religious one. He will only be dragged into the conflict when that subterfuge cannot avail him; but that he will lie dragged into it is certain, if he conti- nue much longer at the head of the British Ministry." 44 But let us leave tiie western, and glance at " the eastern portion of Europe. Of the war between. Russia and Persia we know but little. It is ap- parently oue of aggression on the part of the former power. Persia is comparatively weak, but her terri- tory on the Caspian and beyond the Caucasus is tempting. Besides, Russia has thousands of armed hordes, which it is safer to employ on the frontiers of a contiguous state than feed iu idleness at home. This war, therefore, is likely to be soon ended. Another campaign will finish if; JU1{ 1 the. result will be the Concession of the claims of the Autocrat, and the aggrandisement of his empire to ward's thesouth and the east- iu the direction of the possessions of the British in India." 44 But a cruel war— a war of extirpation—- a war in which a free rein has been given to the worst passions of mankind - has long waged between the Turks and Greeks on the sacred and classic soil of the latter. It has ever been the policy of England to preserve, as entire as possible, the Turkish empire. The flag, the trade, the commerce, and the rights of Great Britain have ever been respected by the Divan. The Ma- hometan may be an unbeliever and a barbarian, but liis mercantile character and responsibility are unim- peachable. This is something, and more than can he trnlv said1 of many of our christian and more refined allies The English government have, therefore, long cultivated and maintained relations of amity with Turkey.'* 4t Between this ally and his dependency of Greece' — the former the superior, and the latter the . vassal state— a sanguinary atid desolating struggle for supremacy on fhe one hand, and independence on the other, has been maintained. The sympathy of Europe has naturally been excited ; the patriots have been cheered on, aud the curses of heaven invoked ou the heads of their oppressors. Still they have been defeated. Their masters are too strong for them. The Turk has taken their fortresses one after the other. He has generally beaten them in every pitched bat tie, and has. followed up his successes so itide- fatigably, that it is plain, unless aided by other nations, they must return to their former state of vassalage." 44 But a new obstacle has arisen. A treaty, it seems, has actually been signed between France, Russia, and England, having for its object the settle- ment of the affairs of Greece, and the imposition of terms upon the Ottoman Porte. The Porte has form- ally refused to accede to these terms. It denies the right of any power to interfere with the internal affairs of Turkey,* or dictate the conditions ou which it, will trent with its rebellious subjects'. The consequence wili be, should the Divan remain obstinate, as it is likely to do, a declaration of war on the part of France, Russia, and England. 44 It would indeed be a delightful consummation to see Greece a free, a happy, and an independent nation. The heart warms over the scenes of her past' glory, and bleeds oyer the picture of her present misery. To see her restored to a nobler station iu the scale of nations — to see the long interregnum of her darkness and her sorrows succeeded by a bright era of civiliz- ation— to see her chains broken, her temples rebuilt, and her genius once more exulting- in a long day of light and liberty, must he the wish of every heart. At feast, it is our wish ; but we are afraid the arrow hath pierced to her soul— the iiffprint of vandalism is • too strongly marked iif her character to permit us to indulge the hope that this wish shall soon if ever be realized. But whether or not, let us not be unright- eous to Turkey in order lo be generous to Greece. Let us respect . the laws of nations, and not counte- nance a proceeding, which, if it affected ourselves, we should be the first to condemn." 44 From this hasty sketch it will be seen that the affairs of Europe are far from being in either a tran- quil or satisfactory state. At its two extremities it is involved in civil war. France occupies Spain, Eng. land occupies Portugal, and it is hard to say how soon Turkey will be a dependency of Russia. We suspect the fidelity of the parties to this new treaty ; and never will believe that the northern Autocrat will acquiesce in any measure having for its object the independence of . Greece, that will not facilitate his designs upon Constantinople. Time, however, will unravel the mystery." contradictory statements from such high authorities — at least iri the very same newspaper. " The Courier informs the public in aft article dated from Windsor, written by one wbo knows nothing- of the movements of the Court, excepting what iie is expressly authorised ti » insert—' That the Duke o'f Wellington came to fhe Royal Lodge at the express invitation of the King.' The same Courier, on the same day, inserts an article which we know to be written by Mr. Canning himself ( who makes use of the Courier for just such a purpose as this, and no other more important), in which is the following assertion: —' It is inconsistent with the truth to slate, that his Grace was either invited by his Majesty, or that the King expected the visit.'" As the court newsman is right, we do hope that he will not allow Mr. Canning to contradict him with impunity. It is not seemly in the Foreign Office to give the lie to the court, particularly when the court tells the truth, and nothing but the truth. Salopian ' journal WEDNESDAY, JULY 25,1827. [ From the Standard of Saturday.'] The following paragraph, which we copy from the Times of this morning, simple as it may appear, will strike a damp into many a heart:-— 44 It is believed that Mr. Hobhouse, the Under- Secretary of the Home department, and Mr. Ilerries, the Secretary of the Treasury, go out of office. _ If the latter gentleman shall give up his place, it will be a very serious loss : lie is, perhaps, the best man of business among all the members of the administration." We heartily concur with what the 7Tme,? says of the value of Mr Herries's services to the public; and we will add, that the value of those of Mr. Hohhousc is not inferior: but still, neither the Times nor ourselves can grieve so bitterly at their retirement from office, as certain " gentlemen ofthe press," whom We could name. The Ministerial Journals, which are at great pains to inform the world that " Mr. Croker had on Thursday an interview with Lord Goderich at the Colonial- office," think it quite unnecessary to say any thing of the Duke of Wellington's attendance upon' the King by his Majesty's special order, coTjnnatircated, as we have before mentioned, to the Duke, by the hands of a nobleman who travelled by night to lose no time in delivering the important message. Ignorant of the audience with which the Duke Was favoured, under the circumstances so honourable and significant, they certainly were not. Why then did they not bestow as much attention upon the King and the Duke of Wellington as upon the forlorn Lord and the forsaken Secretary.— We will tell why.— Because they are well aware that the conjunction is ominous of evil to their masters-— the conspirators in power. But is it fair towards their readers to withhold from them the knowledge of a fact, fraught probably with most important consequences? That is no affair of ours. Let the Ministerial journalists settle that with those who still read their journals. But though unannounced, the dangerous approach of an honest and wiseman to the Royal ear, is not unfelt. We see the Times already making preparation for a handsome final struggle ; and the New Times and Courier, with characteristic baseness, trying to crawl back to lick the heels of Lord Eldon and Mr. Peel, before their snarl at those illustrious persons has well died upon our ears. [ It is stated that the visit was made by the Duke at the express command of his Majesty, com- municated through Lord Maryborough, who con- veyed it personally to the Duke at Strathfieldsay on Wednesday,] [ From the Courier of Saturday.'] Those of our contemporaries who are opposed to the King's Government, are endeavouring to turn every, even the most natural, occurrence to the profit of the party whom they serve, not scrupling to have recourse to falsehood In support of their cause. Thus the visit of the Duke of Wellington to his Majesty, at Windsor, on Thursday last, is an- nounced in an Evening Paper of yesterday, and a Morning Paper of this day, as a visit paid by the express command of the King, and as an event big with important results. That the Duke of Welling- ton should, on the anniversary of his Majesty's Coronation, pay his duty to the King, is at once a most proper and natural step on the part of his Grace; but it is inconsistent vy/ ith the truth to stale that his Grace was either invited by his Majesty, or that the King expected the visit. At the request of a Correspondent of the highest respectability, we have this week given a portion of an important article relative to the culture of" the Potato j aud the subject shall be resumed in our next Journal.

And now, briefly to demolish the joint labour of Ministers' sweeps, and other " gentlemen of the press," we repeat what we asserted on Friday, that the Duke's visit was the consequence of a distinct, pressing, peremptory command from the King, and WI; VOUCH M. IT LOUD MARYBOROUGH WAS THE DEARER OF THE ROYAL MESSAGE. We add that the Duke dined, or luKfhed, call it as ye will, at four o'clock with his Majesty, who afterwards excused himself from attending a dinner party previously invited by him for seven, stating that he had actually dined with " his friend the Duke." The subject of the King's conversation with the Duke is still a secret; but it has been observed, that his Grace came, at its - conclusion, to town, instead of returning to Strathficldsay, according to his original arrangement. Since the foregoing was written, we received the following memorandum from a friend, which it will be seen exposes a fatal blunder of' the Courier, overlooked by us :— " We earnestly advise the Courier to suggest to Mr. Canning, the propriety of an early conference with the Court newsman, and such ariangement between them as may prevent the appearance of On Thursday last, about a quarter before twelve o'clock, the ceremony of laying the first stone of the foundation of the New Infirmary, to be erected in this town on and adjacent to the site of that recently taken down, took place in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The Right Hon. Lord Hill, the Venerable Archdeacon Owen, F. K. Leighton, Esq. and J. Bather, Esq. ( Members of the Committee), with Mr. Smirke ( the Surveyor), and Messrs. Haycock ( the Contractors), atteuded; and Lord Hill, who said he had previously been unaware of the intended proceeding, and that it had taken him by surprise, in a very appropriate address, stated the nature of the business for which they were assembled. After observing, that the proposition for the intended erection, ( which had originated two years ago, during the period that his Lordship officiated as Treasurer to the Infirmary, and at a meeting honoured by the presence of the Bishop of the Diocese,) had been warmly adopted, and subsequently had received the sanction of the rank and respectability of the town and county assembled at a public meeting, the Noble Lord said, the zeal and benevolence of the inhabitants of the county had been evinced towards this work of humanity, by the unprece- dented circumstance of betweeu £ 4000 and £ 5000 having been subscribed in aid of it, in the course of a few minutes. Notwithstanding the many calls upon their benevolence, subscriptions still continued to flow iu, and at this moment bene- volent Ladies were at work for the purpose of increasing the amount of the contribution. His Lordship then adverted to the assiduity shewn on the part of the Committee appointed to superintend the work, and to the unanimity which had marked the whole of their proceedings, and said, that to two of them— Lord Clive, and his ( Lord Hill's) esteemed relative, the late Edward Burton, Esq. an especial tribute of respect and praise were due, for their unwearied attention to the objects for the accomplishment of which the Committee had been appointed. In order that the intended work might be executed in a way that should do credit to the county, and be of permanent benefit to the afflicted not only of this but also of future generations, the Committee had employed Mr. Edward Haycock to inspect and fake plans of different Institutions erected for similar purposes in various parts of the kingdom; and, with every consideration for the due appropriation of the public contributions, they had also determined that GrinshiH stone, as being the most durable material, should be used in its construction. The good opinion which tbe Committee had on various accounts entertained of the abilities of Messrs. Haycock, as architects, and which bad induced the Committee to employ them to execute the work, had been confirmed by the report of Mr. Smirke, a gentleman whose acknow- ledged talent had placed him in the first rank of his profession; and he had now the gratification of saying also, upon Mr. Smirke's authority, that the strata of earth in which it was proposed to lay the foundation of the New Infirmary, were of the best description for that purpose. He hoped, therefore, the assembly present would join the Rev. Archdeacon Owen in offering up to the Throne of Grace a prayer for the Divine Blessing upon a work that would,' he doubted not, be of the utmost value to those whose afflictions it was the benevolent wish of the subscribers to alleviate. The Rev. Archdeacon Owen then shortly ad- dressed the assembly, and concluded by offering up a prayer that embodied several most appropriate passages of the Liturgy ofthe Established Church, and which was listened to with an attention that evinced how well its aspirations were calculated to impress the audience with the importance ofthe humane work, of which the ceremony of the day formed a small but a requisite portion. The stone ( in a cavity of which, made for the purpose, were inclosed several coins of our present most gracious Sovereign) being placed in its intended position, Lord Hill took a mallet in his hand, and went through the process usual on suqh occasions ; after which three times three hearty cheers were given by the spectators, the bells of St. Mary's struck up a chearful peal, aud the assembly dispersed.

THEATRE— M. Henry, according to announce- ment, made bis first appearance here on Friday evening last, with his eccentric entertainment of " Whims and Wonders," - and was fashionably attended. The performance throughout elicited frequent bursts of applause, particularly the Illu- sions, which were very extraordinary. The Mu sieal Glasses upon which M. H. is a skilful per- former, followed, and were much admired. The song of " Buy a Broom," written for. M. H. by that talented author, MoncriefF, was deservedly encored. We see M. 11. performs again this evening, when there will be a great accession of novelty, for which we refer our readers to the advertisement in another column. It w ill be recollected that, at our late Assizes, in the case Woodward v. Booth, the plaintiff' was nonsuited in consequence of Chester, the place where the ground of action originated, being- described as " iu the county of Chester," instead of " in the county of the city of Chester," that city being a county of itself.— The Judges have, how- ever, since decided that the objection was not valid, and a Rule for a new trial has been granted. COACH ROBBERY.— On Tuesday morning last, as the Prince of Orange coach was on its way from Birmingham to this town, the hind boot was robbed of a brown paper parcel, containing ten dozen pair of kid gloves, directed for Messrs. Rogers aud Page, of this town, and forwarded from the house ot Messrs. Dent and Co. Worcester ; and, through the vigilant exertions of Mr. Walter, constable of Ironbridge, the offendpr was fortunately discovered on the following morning. Mr. W. having heard that a suspicious character of the name of Jones, alias Tomaek, ( whom he bad before apprehended for felony, of whieh he was convicted at the last Weuloek Sessions,) had been offering gloves for sale on Tuesday evening, he immediately went in search of him, e. rid apprehended him near the Robin Bood Public- House, Madeley Wood, and on search- ing him he found some of the property and a base shilling on his person; the offender admitted that be had found a parcel about two miles distant from Shiffnal, which had fallen off the coach, and had concealed a part of its contents in a barley field. The constable immediately took the prisoner with him in a chaise, and found concealed in a hedge five dozen pair of gloves, with some loose papers, and the invoice. The prisoner afterwards admitted to the constable that he had committed the robbery, by means of having got behind the coach, without the knowledge of the coachman.— He was fully committed on Wednesday, by G- A. Moultrie, Esq. to take his trial at the ensuing assises. Committed to our County Gaol, Thomas Ellson, charged with having stolen one ewe sheep, the property of James Bradbury, at Drayton- in- Hales. MARRIED. On Friday last, nt Marylebone, London, Mr. James White,' stationer, of Nassau- street, lo Miss Martha Ray Davies, daughter of Mr. Thomas Davies, of Llanfyllin. On ( he 17th inst. at Neston, Cheshire, the Rev. II. W. O. Jones, of Nerquis, in the county of Flint, to Anne Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the Rev. Thomas Ward, Prebendary of Chester, and Vicar of Neston. DIED. On the Oth inst. the Rev. Evan Thomas, many years Vicar of Llangrannog and Llaitdisilro- Gogo, in the county of Cardigan ; the genuine piety and christian benevolence of whose character had' rendered him greatly beloved and respected. Mr. Thomas had performed his ministerial duties the morning hefore his dec- ease, and although lie had attained an advanced age, his family nnd parishioners were little prepared for the suddenly awful deprivation which now excites their sincere regret. The marriage of Edward Mostyn Lloyd, Esq. of Pengwern, Flintshire, to the L, ady Harriott Scott, daughter of the Earl of Clonmel, was the cause of great rejoicing at Kerry, on the Oth instant. Mr. Evans, the tenant at the old family mansion, Glati- meheli, entertained a large party of friends on the occasion. The bells rang a merry peal; several appropriate toasts were given, many excellent songs were sung, and plenty of cwrw da was distributed. CHESTER CIRCUIT. The Hon.

Observations on the Disease in the Potato, generally called the Curl; pointing out the most probable Method of preventing it; with, an Account ofthe Results of a few Experiments made on the Sub- ject. By Mr. Thomas Dichson, Leith Walk, Edinburgh.—( Read 6th March, 1810 J This disease, so far as I can learn, first began to be alarming to the growers of the potato about thirty- five or forty years ago. Since that time, it has continued to. engage the attention of many eminent agriculturists and gardeners. . , Various opinions have at different times been ad- vanced as to its cause. Some were of opinion, that the disease was caused by the tubers used for seed- stock not having been sufficiently ripened ; others thought that they had been frost- bitten iu the course of the preceding winter; sonie ascribed the evil lo the effects of blights attacking the plants in coming through the ground; others to the attacks of certain minute insects; lastly, the exhausted state of the sot) was blamed for the disease. But no one seems to have hit upon the real cause, until the Honourable Baron Hepburn, ofSmeaton, iu East Lothian, ope . of the most successful and intelligent agriculturists of this country, started a new theory on the subject; which, from its singularity, and seeming inconsistence with our experi- ence in matters of a similar nature, did not at the time meet with that attention to which it undoubtedly was entitled. The Baron thought that the curl was pro- bably caused by the tubers used for seed- stock having been allowed to become too ripe the preceding year, and th. it this practice of over ripening, being repeated year after year, was the real Cause of the disease, the vegetative power in the tubers being thus exhausted. I candidly confess myself to have been rather at first a sceptic ou the subject; but, afler considering the thing a little, my doubts began to clear away. In order to satisfy myself thoroughly, I resolved upon making a suite of experiments. I accordinglydid so ; and as they were conducted entirely by myself, or under my own immediate superintendence, I can pledge myself for their aceuraey. I now beg leave to lay them before the Caledonian Horticultural Society, in hopes that they may, by means of the Society, he made known to the public; and as the experiments are easily repeated, that they may induce others to turn their attention to the subject. I think it right to observe, that the experiments now to be detailed, were not made with any view of their ever appearing before the public; nor would they haye been brought forward at this time, hut from a wish to promote the views of this Society. It is well known to all cultivators of the potato, that the usual mode of re- producing- any particular variety of that valuable root, is by cuts or sets of the tubers; and that this mode of propagation is repeated every year, so loug as that particular sort is wished for, without our ever thinking of re- invigorating the seed- stock,* by raising new plants from the real seeds. In this way it happens, that merely the individual variety- is propagated, the species being re- produced only by sowing the true seeds of the plant. It is only by sowing the seeds that we obtain new varieties; but if the seeds be taken from any particular variety that is wished to be preserved, and if care be exercised, that ihe plants shall have no communication with the farina of any other plants of the same species in flower, then the produce of these seeds will probably be the^ same, or nearly the same, with that variety from which the seeds were saved; and from the seed- stock being renewed, and re- invigorated in this way, it seems likely, that the variety so obtained, may, by observing a proper management, be preserved from the curl or any other kind of degeneracy, for auy length of time. I shall presume that the principal cause of the curl in the Potato is the over- ripening of the seed- stock for the supply of the ensuing year, by allowing it to remain too long in the ground, and especially if it be also planted early ; this practice being repeated for several years successively, causes an exhaustion ofthe vegetative principle in the tubers, which renders them unfit to produce vigorous healthy plants; and is ihe principal cause of the disease. This doctrine has been almost uniformly objected to by many very intelligent agriculturists and gardeners, as being quite contrary to our experience in regard to seeds in general; full ripe- ness being considered the best recommendation. But this objection, I apprehend, arises from the taking an improper view of the subject. It is true,, that all of what are properly called seeds are improved by being thoroughly ripened, but cuts or sets taken from the tubers "" of a Potato cannot, properly speaking* come under the description of seeds. Planting cuts of the Potato is analogous to budding or grafting of trees, being only a secondary mode of propagation ; and, consequently, the above- mentioned objection does not hold good. This doctrine may be further'illustrated, bv observing the strong tendency which Potatoes raised from " seeds have to run to flower and seeds, unless prevented by destroying these as they appear, and by earthing up the roots of the plant, so as to induce them to throw out . tubers. This natural dispo- sition of plants raised from seeds will remain for several generations of the plant, gradually yielding to the artificial means used, until they at last become what we wish. And what may be deemed still a farther proof is, that those who cultivate Potatoes most successfully, in the low and early parts of this country where the dis- ease chiefly exists, bring a supply of seed- stock, from the higher and later parts of the country, for a change, every second year nt farthest. In such high places, from the lateness and wetness of the climate, the farmers are prevented from planting their Potatoes so early as in the low country, and are also, from the fear of early frosts, obliged to take np their crop sooner; consequently the tubers are never so highly ripened as to weaken the vegetative principle in them. Here, then we have a strong practical testimony to the truth of tlie doctrine which has been advanced. On the other hand, in the early districts of the low country, where, as has already been remarked, the disease is principally known, particular kinds of potatoes are planted year afler year successively from the same seed- stock, nnd most of the early kinds are planted soon in the season, with a view to procure an early crop for the market. A part of these is generally allowed to remain in the ground till the usual time of taking up, to supply seed- sttfek for the ensuing year : by this time, however, the plants have become so ripe as to weaken very much the vegetative power of the tubers. This practice being repeated for several years, at last so impairs the vegetati ve power of the tubers as to produce the curl; and there is no doubt that, if this practfcV were persevered in, it. would ultimately destroy the power of vegetation altogether, as 1 have proved by experiments. There is yet another powerful cause which weakens the vegetative power in the tuWi's; apd that is, the allowing such plants as are intended to £ H$ ply seed- stock for the ensuing year to run to flower and produce seed. f This should in all cases be prevented, hy cut- ting off the flowers as they appear, even in embryo. Thus by turning nature from her ordinary course, we force* her to exert herself in another channel, and to throw back into the tubers that portion of tjie vital principle of the plant which would have lu\ en ex- hausted in the formation of flowers and seeds. Nothing will more contribute to prevent'degeneracy in potato., and especially to prevent curl, than this treatment. ( TO BE CONTINUED.) A report has been made from tbe select committee on election polls for cities and boroughs, which we subjoin:— It appears from the concurrent testimony of almost all those persons well acquainted with the mode of taking the poll, in various places where contested elections are of frequent occurrence, and the number of electors very considerable who have been examined, that in places where the number of voters is large, the greatest inconvenience . is suffered by the eleeiors themselves, and a heavy expense incurred by the candidates, from the very inadequate - means which of taking the poll . It must he obvious to the House, that in populous places the excitement occasioned i. Jyy a contested election is very great; that it is not confined'to the electors, but pervades every class of the community ; and that any means which can he devised to shorten the period of such excite- ment, and lessen, the licentiousness and riot which are its usual accompaniments, are worthy of the attention of the legislature. The evils now generally felt mav be chiefly attri- buted to the insufficient number of polling places ; the unnecessary length of time allowed by law for keeping open the poll ; and the frivolous objections and protracted discussions occasioned by the practice of interrupting, the poll, for the purpose of deciding upon the validity of disputed votes. It appears to your committee, that the best mode of Obviating these, inconveniences will be— , Ist. To provide by the law that the number of polling places at contested elections shall be so regu- lated, lhat only a limited number of voters shall poll iat any one plaee. To reduce considerably the number of days allowed for taking the poll. 3d. To cause all disputed votes to be referred, without interrupting the progress of tlie poll, to the returning officer or assessor, who shall sit in some convenient place apart from the hustings, for the purpose of deciding on their validity. It has also been stated to your, committee, that much inconvenience and great frauds are consequent on tlie practice of allowing . persons claiming- a right of voting, to qualify dur. ing the progress of the election ; and that in the confusion attendant on a contested election, persons are frequently enabled, by fraudulent means, to obtain qualifications to which they have^ no legal right. It has been suggested to your committee, that it would be expedient to provide by law, that in future no person shall have a right to vote in respect ofa qualification which he shall have held less than six mouths. Although your committee are of opinion that this is a subject well worthy the attention, of Parliament, they do not venture to recommend any alteration of the existing law, as they conceive that their inst ruc- tions limit them to an inquiry into the mode of taking the poll, and to the suggestion of such amendments on the present practice as may appear to them most advisable. Your committee have not thought it necessary to enter into a lengthened detail of the means which have occurred to them of remedying the existing evils, as they have directed their chairman to prepare a bill, which will contain such provisions as they think best calculated for that purpose.— May 28. Among the minutes of the evidence which has led to this conclusion, if not the most important, at least the most striking,, from recent occurrence, is that which relates to the last elections for Preston You are a solicitor at Preston ?—- Yes. You have heen acquainted for some time with the mode of taking the poll at Preston ?— Yes, for the last twenty years. Have you generally attended the hustings as agent for one or other of the candidates ?— Only for the last two elections : when I speak of the last twenty years, I have thought a great deal about the elections during that time. Have you with you a statement of the number of votes polled during each contested election since 1807, and of the number of votes polled on each day for each candidate ?— Yes, I have ; they will be found in the booksT now deliver in.

The great variations in the demand for some of the articles enumerated in the paper before us, will astonish those who are not acquainted with the causes. The Wine imported at the two periods was nearly the same, being iu 1790, 5,778,088 gallons; in 1820, 5,510,077 gallons. The same may he said of Brandy The number of gallons imported in 1790 was 1,485,513 ; in 1826, 1,412,231. Under the head of Butter, we find a great increase. There were imported in 1790, 546 cwt.; in 1826, 201,708 cwt. The increase iu the amount of Coffee imported, aiid entered for home consumption, is immense. ! n 1780 Ihe amount was only 973,110 lbs.; in 1826, il was no less than 12,728,227 lbs. In Wool, the tola! import seems lo have risen from about forty- two millions of pounds to nearly one hundred and eighty millions; ttie returns being— of Cotton Wool, in 179( 1, 39,6i> 3,45l lbs.; in 1826, 159,999,646- Sheep's Wool, in 1790, 3,126,497 His.; in 1826, 17,836,193 lbs.— The increase we have pointed out, in the consumption of Cofl'ee, niay excite surprise, notwithstanding the remission of the duty, when it is considered how many cheap beverages have been introduced wilh a view lo supersede the use of that article, as well as of Tea. It is in uo way lo he accounted for by a decline in ihe lalter, ns Ihe " imports of Tea at the two periods were— Tea, 1790, 16,898,867 lbs. ; 1826, 25,238,074 lbs.— the imports of Sugar were nearly double in 1826 what they were ia 1790, and while those of Wine and Brandv are found to have remained what they were thirty- six years ago, the quantity of Rum entered for home consumption ( ex- clusive of overproof), has advanced from 1,540 529 gallons to 3,417,394.— The difference in the imports of Silk is great, being as follows :- Silk, raw and waste, in 1790,449,151 His.; in 1826, 1,963,377 lbs.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT GORDON CASTLE.— On Wednesday last, the inhabitants of Lochabers. and its neighbourhood, were thrown into n state of the utmost confusion and consternation, by a report of Gordon Castle being on fire. A party of preventive men, under the superintendance of Mr. Glover, proceeded to the Castle, as did also another party stationed at Bnkie, under the superintendance of Mr. Trench. The fire engine belonging to the Castle was plied with unceasing constancy, and all the resources which an immense crowd of spectators command, were put in requisition. Still, however, the flatties raged with increased violence. In the course ofa few hours, the whole eastern wing was enveloped in one general blaze. The whole Of the eastern wing of this beautiful and magnificent superstructure is now a scene of entire devastation. There is something extremely striking and melan- choly in the contrast which this part of Gordon Castle presents to the rest of this imposing edifice, and to the indescribable beauty of the surrounding scenery. The destruction of property occasioned by this melancholy occurrence is immense. It is not, however, yet ascertained in all its extent. We ore happy, however, to be able to state, that none of his late Grace's papers were lost.; they were fortunately in tho western part of the Castle.— A circumstance which increases this calamity, is the peculiar moment at which it has happened. The remains of the deceased Duke are now betwixt Edinburgh and Aberdeen, ou their way to Gordon Castle, where it is intended they shall lie for some time in state; and his present Grace and the Duchess are posting from Geneva to the Caslle, with all possible haste. No conjecture whatever can be formed regarding the manner in which this destructive fire originated.— Elgin Courier. After Preston, the election at Weymouth was the most curious; and respecting this we insert the e vidence of one of ihe candidates :— Mnsterton Ure, Esq. a member of the committee, examined.— Y'oti, of course, are acquainted with the mode of carrying on an election at Weymouth ? — I am. How many days did the poll last at the lateelection ? — Fifteen. . And how many persons voted during lhat time?— I think 342.. What was the reason it took such a length of time to poll that number of voters?— The fact was, that one of the parties being aware that the other party had a greater number of votes, considered it advisable to take every method to protract lhe poll as much as possible, and with that object, every obstruction was put against the voters being admitted to the polling- place ; and after being so admitted, every obstacle was put in the way against their voting, by disputing the votes, thereby of course lengthening the time, so as to enable them to prevent their own votes being exhausted, knowing that the other party were the larger number. With this object, after preventing ns much as was iu their power the voters of one party from getting in, a certain proportion of the other party got possession ofthe front ofthe dock or polling place ; after those in front were polled, nnd when the voters in the other interest were about to proceed to give their votes, objections, argued at great length, on the validity of these voles, procrastinated the time so much that few of these votes could be taken before four o'clock, at which hour, on several days, the returning officer vvas forcibly compelled to close the poll, it having heen insisted that he had no right to continue the poll beyond that hour. The time occu- pied in objecting to votes oo both sides, anil in argu- ments to support them, as well as in answering those objections, created so much delay, that at the close of the poll a very considerable number of voters remained unpolled, many of whom had heen iu attendance for several days, for the purpose of tendering their votes. Much delay was also occasioned hy persons, whose rights of voting were obviously defective, oblruding themselves in the polling place, whereby much unne- cessary discussion and delay was produced How long did the arguments last ? — Probably upon one point, oue, two, or three hours. During that time was the poll stopped ?— Yes ; there was ouly one polling place, and one returning officer and assessor. Do von not think, that il the person who was to decide* upon the disputed votes were fo sit in some place apart from the place where ihe poll was taken, and the disputed votes were referred to him for deci- sion, the poll continuing all ihe time, that would greatly facilitate the taking of the poll, aud shorten flie duration of it? — Most unquestionably. How many days do you think the election at Wey- mouth would have continued if the disputed votes had been heard in a separate place?— It is difficult to answer that question, there ore so many non- resident voters lhat, as the law now stands, you are entitled to continue the poll, provided one polled in each hour, tind therefore the poll might have been procrastinated wilh a view of bringing up voters from a distance; that remedy of itself would uot be effectual. Supposing a number of distinct polling places were provided, and it were enacted lhat unless a certain number should have given their votes each day ot each of those polling places, aud that such polling place where the allotted number of voles had not been n- iven should be closed ; would that, in your opinion, tend very much to cure Ihe evil ? — Certainly, very much. THE 1ATS ACTIONS FOB LIBEL. [ FROM THE Sun.] In common with our contemporaries we revert again to the unfortunate prevalence of trumpery actions for libel, a subject not more important to the'freedom of discussion than to lire liberty of the press and Ihe independence of Ihe people. If any person doubted the necessity for amending the present Law of Libel- surely Ihe practice of the last month would overwhelm bun with melancholy proofs. The Law of Libel, llmt nondescript of legislation, is only understood where its vengeance its deplored. No niiiii who is dragged into a Court of Justice by the avarice of au attorney, or the recklessness of nil hired plaintiff', cau say io himself—/ am safe— for the uncertainty of the faw, and ihe prejudice of the Judge, cut iiis trembling hopes like a two- edged sword. And yet this is the boasted age of liberality and free trade— free trade in all things but the broad mart of public opinion ! Why, ihe genius of improvement has lately developed itself in some of our most fettered walks ; we have hud a condensation of acts for Ihe better regulation of the Customs— an amelioration iu the rigorous investigation of the Excise— nay, even an approach to mercy in abridging ihe horrid catalogue of crime, and temper- ing vengeance wiih justice— but for that odious law which touches every man's liberty— which threatens every man's pocket— which kindles every man's indignation by ihe mock- gravity of its absurdity— for that law, there is no amendment', ns there is no hope. That vortex of inconsistency has swallowed thousands, and can swallow more. The law works well for those who practise,— and who wants a belter criterion? We answer — ihe friends of liberty. Why not revert to sound principles, aad have justice as the foundation of law— have the bounds of libel, like those ofa more tangible crime, so defined that neither the partial eloquence of tbe advocate, nor the perverted reason- ing of the Judge, may thwart their spirit or misguide their tendency ? The golden and divine rule of " Do unto others ns von would have them do unto you," ought to he the standard, as truth should he ' the guide, of Brilish Juries on the Law of Libel. But where truth is held to bean aggravation of guilt— where that which is the ornament of nil the other relations of life, is held to he the damnifying quality in eases of Libel— how is a worthy man safe? To speak boldly, that which is for the benefit of the individual, aud ibe safeguard of the community, ought nol, surely, in a Christian country, to be held as Ihe signal for attack, or the badge of obloquy— and yet, according to Ihe dictum of oue of our Judges, and ihe practice of the rest,— the greater ihe truth the greater the Libel. Admirable reasoiiiuo- indeed! ° But the excessive amount of costs, and not the verdict, is, afler all, the great, the crying evil in an action for libel. Let your damages be a farthing or a thousand pounds — the costs are the same. Thoii"- h the Jurv h ave been puzzled to express how small is ! the value of reputation lost — if, indeed, capable of diminution—- yet shall the reprobate or his accomplices he amply paid for their assurance in coming into Court. But is it common justice that a man, in paying a strumpet or a swindler— a farthing or even twenfy- five pounds— their respective yaffle's in trade — shall, in addition, be. . compelled to pay a peUifou- yiug attorney perhaps five hundred pounds costs ? Yet, so it. is. British Juries, sanctioned, nay influenced, by British Judges, have countenanced such monstrosity. But how different would be their verdicts, especially where farthing characters are concerned, were the Judges to state the vvhoie hearing of the case— that bv g- iving n farthing or a shilling— merely nominal damages — they inflict a serious fine upon n " rich man — and ruin a poor man for life. Humanity, common sense, individual safety, and public protection, all rise up in judgment against such shameless, though legal- ized, robbery. It may well be said that lie who refuses to accept any reparation for loss of character but through a solicitor, is in great danger of losing* the remainder in a Court of I . aw. Brittle characters are always most tender of their reputation, and, like leaky vessels, have recourse to every shift to prevent their sinking- in the ocean of public opinion— they ask damages, and get tarred in proportion to their un worthiness. in the present state of the Law of Libel, no News- paper is safe ; if a felon is had up to a Police Office, you dare not hint that he is a rogue till lie is hanged, and even then you are in danger of his executors. If a fellow contracts debts by deputy, and endeavours to skulk from responsibility by leaving u his man Friday" in the lurch, you dare not insinuate that, there is such a crime as swindling mentioned in the Statute- book. You d are . not warn your neighbour that a robber is hovering near his dwelling, for fear that you subject yourself to an action for defamation of character. You dare not even adopt the prudent Scotch way — and believe that a suspicious fellow is picking your friend's pocket,— no, no; a man's character is above ali price: — Who steals niy purse, steals trash ; ' tis something, nothing-; ' Twas mine, ' tis his, and has been slave to thousands: °' But he who filches from m « my good name — Aye'. — there's the rub— in this free and happy country every man by courtesy possesses, or is supposed to possess, a good name — and he who is sceptical in a particular instance where he knows a rogue, must not dare to prove, it— for that justification would sadly enhance his damages, and make the rogue richer— The very consummation which he seeks! But the rage for libel does not confine itself to cha- racter- r- it invades the empire of taste, and the republic of letters ; question a man's judgment in architecture, however incongruous, and he brings an action to prove that there is nothing so beautiful as the work of his own hands 1 Doubt his veracity in scandalizing his friends, aud he will swear, to your satisfaction, that he has not said the vorst of them ! Lament his want of humour, and he will crack a joke, however xvretch- ed, though at the expense of his gratitude— and this is right ! If vindication of character he the sole, as if is the professed, object of libel hunters— why not rest con tent with one action ? Is the article, so vile that i requires such earnest repetition — as butchers are more strenuous in selling their meat the more fly- blown if becomes? Really a good reputation will keep in all weathers; and men, conscious of its possession, will scorn to have it proved before a Jury of their country The rich man makes no affidavit, of his wealth— it ' is only the ad venturer'who endeavours to make up in sound what he knows is wanting in substance. On Wednesday last, the Lord Bishop of the Dioee^ econsecrated the new church of St. Barnabas, at Bootle. It has been erected at the sole cost of Mr. Miller, attorney, in Liverpool. The late Miss Daniel, of Han lev," besides exte?^ sively remembering her relations,' has bequeathed the very liberal legacy of £ 500, free of legacy duty, to the North Staffordshire Infirmary, one half to < io to the a. c cumulating fund. The late Mr. Spode has also left the same sum to that institution. Dr. Raffles, of Liverpool, has, by the death of hi a brother- in- lasv, recently come into the possession of at least £ l00,000. A. mechanic. of Exuionth has constructed a mod^ l of Ki i'g Solomon's Temple in shell- work and mi- nerals, containing 985 windows, 11 towers, 3g5 pinnacles, 188 pillars, . formed of 150,000 English shells.

Some of Mr. Wombwell's servants assisted in removing Wilson to the infirmary, where he now lies, and hopes are entertained that amputation will not be necessary. People cannot be too cautious how they approach the den of such animals, — curiosit v might be gratified without incurring the danger lhat has befallen this unfortunate man : he appears to be upwards of fifty years of age. In consequence of the announcement of the Bank of England to reduce the rate of discount to 4 per cent, which has also been adopted at the Branch establishments in the country, the private bankers in Liverpool have reduced the charge of discounting bills lo 3 per cent. Iu Manchester the bankers have also reduced it to three per cent, with notice that after the 29th of September next the allowance of interest on deposits will only be two und a half per cent. Within the short period of a week no fewer than five actions for libel have been brought to an issue, and three farthings have been obtained by the parties who have taken this mode of vindicating their character.

The Dublin Morning Register says—" Wre have heard from good authority, that the patent of precedency for Mr. O'Conneli is made out." We know from better authority, says the Courier, that there is not one word of truth in this. We committed an error when we stated that all the provisions of a former Act were repealed, which gave persons whose property might be destroyed by fire a claim upon the hundred in which such fire happened. The present Act, however, does not extend to fire occasioned by the secret malice of individuals; damage froin fire occasioned by a mob may still be recovered.— Chelmsford Chronicle. DARING ROBB- JRY!— O11 Tuesday se'nnight, at Ihe Marl borough- street I'olice office, London, the final examination took place of a young man named Webster, alias Hilson, alias Andrews, who was charged by his late master, the Rev. Mr. Jones, of Elmgreen, near Cirencester, with having robbed hi. n of plate, wearing apparel, aiid other articles, lo ibe value of more than £ 500. The complainant stated, that 011 ihe 17th of January Inst his house vvas broken into, nnd tho property described carried off. From an exnminntiou iff the premises, it was discovered lhal two iron bars were removed from Ihe pantry • a skeleton key was also found in the passage, and every outward appearance was exhibited of the robbery having heen committed by a set of experienced bur- glars. M r. Jones caused information ofthe robbery to he made at Bow. street Office, b'ut 110 officer was sent down to make the proper enquiries. The prison- er, who had filled his situation for the last three years and obtained implicit confidence, was never suspected for a moment, from tlie irreproachable character he maintained, and the estimation in which he was held hy the family, hot continued in the service of Mr. Jones until within the last three weeks, when he' quitted, having previously given warning, much to Ihe regret of the family. The Rev. Gentleman heard no more of his losses, until a neighbouring friend shewed him a description, given in one of Ihe metro- politan papers, of plate which had been detained by the officers of justice, and corresponding 111 every particular with his stolen property. Ou the same day, he received a letter from Plank, the chief officer of Marlborough- street establishment, informing hint of the prisoner's detention, nnd requesting his pre- sence in town, for which he immediately departed. Tbe prisoner, it appeared, took some of the plate for sale to Mr. Stiles, 11 silversmith, iu Totieuham- couit- road, at whose shop, in the first instance, he offered a. single piece, weighing about fourteen ounces, and melted down, which hud been received, lie snid, from a friend in the country, who had taken it from a refiner, in payment ofa debt. This article was pur- chased ; hut w hen the prisoner brought a considerable quantity, much battered and defaced, Mr. Stiles refused to buy it, ajid caused, him to be taken into custody, with equal integrity and prudence. At the commencement of his exa'miuatipn, Webster had displayed great indifference, but now became sensibly- affected, and dropped some expressions which indi- cated that he should prevent the trouble of removing him into the country for trial, as he intended t, i terminate his existence. The Magistrate reasoned with him on the folly of meditating such a Crime, and he was threatened with a strait waistcoat, if the purpose was not abandoned. He was then committed to the House of Correction, preparatory to being sent down to Salisbury for trial af. the ensuing Assizes. The connexions of the unhappy young man are said to be ofa most, respeclahle nature in this county, and he was on the eve of being married to the daughter of a substantial farmer. Mr. Jones, through his interest, was about to set him up iu business, for which purpose a mill had been taken on Colonel Berkeley's estatp, and such was the trust reposed in the prisoner, that certain . conditions, usually included in the lease to guarantee the due discharge of rent, were withdrawn in his favour, to assist and encourage him.— Gloucester Journal. LTVF. RPOOL, JULY IS.— New Custom- House, & c. — On Thursday, our Chief Magistrate and his two colleagues, Messrs. Case and Drinkwater, who formed the deputation, to negociate with Govern- ment for the erection of a new Custom- house, re. turped, after' having successfully completed the object of their mission. We understand the sub- stance of the arrangement is, that the Corporation agree to erect a building, which shall embrace a Custom- house, Excise, and Stamp Offices, together with a Dock- office, the vvhoie to be finished in the period of six years, and to expend, in the construc- tion of the building, the sum of £ 175,000. Tbev also agree to furnish the land upon which the Government offices shall be erected, but not, as was at first suggested, to present the entire site of the Old Dock, consisting of upwards of 17,000 square yards, and which is more than requisite for the public offices required by Government. Tbe build- ing will, upon its completion, become the property of the Government, with the exception of that portion appropriated for the use of the docks, which will remain the property of fhe Dock Trustees. The Corporation also agree to keep the building in repair for the period of ten years from its com- pletion. Towards the erection of this . structure, Government, on their part, agree to provide the sum of £ 150,000, in six yearly payments. Thus we are likely to have a building ou a scale commen- surate to the vast business ofthe port, and, in point of architectural taste, worthy of the town, and in keeping* with the other magnificent improvements which are contemplated, aud now in progress. There are growing in the garden of the Apothe- caries' Company at Chelsea, more than three hundred varieties of wheat, and several also of barley and oats, collected from different parts of the world by a Spanish gentleman. Many of them seem greatly superior to the corn of our own country, and may, perhaps, become no mean addition to our farming speculations. The anniversary of the redoubted St. Swithin passed over, not only without rain, but with as tine weather as any man need wish for.

NOVEL HYPOTHESIS, Concerning ihe Influence of the Strata near the Surface of the Earth on ihe Atmosphere. A paper has been presented Hi the Royal Society concerning the influence of chalk and limestone, and some other strata, on ihe atmosphere, by William Alexander Mackinnon, Esq. F ll. S. in " hich this hypothesis is advanced, and the results are said lo be, lhat Ihe dryness or dampness of the air, and rouse • quentiy the spi ightliuess and vivacity, or sedalciuss, nol only of individuals, but even of a whole people, may depend more on llie substrata than ia commonly imagined. The following is the summary of the leading points : — Mr. Mackinuon begins his paper by slating, that residing ill ihe vicinity of Soulhampon, about seven miles from Ihe greal bed of chalk that runs through part of Hampshire and Ihe neighbouring counties, he was struck wilh Ihe difference of the air when on Ihe chalk, to what it was when going towards the Js'ew Forest, though both were equally distant from the water; that, in consequence, experiments w ere Lied wilh. he hygrometer, ( Be Luc, Whalebone, nod Daniel's,) and the result of ihesc was, that ii) vaiiubl> a greatir degree of dryness was found in I lie atmo- sphere over the chalk, than over clay, or alluvial soli stance. Mr. SIackiiinon, hi> « ev< r, adds, lhat the hygrometer is au instrument so very uncertain in iis results, and so liable to inaccuracy, lhat little reliance ought to he placed 011 rxpeiimniis made wilh 11, unless confirmed hy olher observations He says, however, that every subsequent observation confirms Ihe hypothesis, lhat if chalk is laid on a tiehl as a dressing, it will al the end of soiiii- hours In- come damp, even if 110 rain or little dew has fallen, which dampness can only arise from the absorption of damp from Ihe atmosphere; also that turf grass over chalk or liuie. stonc, even in I he hottest summer, always looks green anil healthy, which must, Mr. M. tckiuuon thinks, arise from the absorption of atmospheric moisture, by a sort of capillary attraction from the chalk or lime- stone, which moisture passing through the slight covering of mould, keeps the roots of the grass sufficiently moist lo look green, whereas the same heal burns up turf grass, over clav, or alluvial substance, or gravel, in a remark able' degree. Mr. Mackinnon brings forward m; » Myother arguments in favour of this assertion. He also says tbat from this absorbing power or capillary attraction of atmospheric damp by certain strata, a bouse built on a chalk foundation, or of chalk materials, will commonly be damp, and for the same icason if lime- stone or sea- sand i. s used. The paper further states, that if the dryness or dampness of the atmosphere is affected by the stratum, that must affect the spirits or health of the inhabitants, and even some other qualities ot indi- viduals or nations may depend more on the sub- stratum than is commonly imagined. COMBINATION. We copy the following paragraph front the Man- chester Guardian of Saturday, as a specimen of the benefits which have arisen from the repeal of the Combination Laws:— 4V THE SII. K WEAVERS. — A turn- out of the weavers in the employ of Messrs. I\ and S. Walker, of Man- chester, has recently taken place, under circumstances so peculiar as to call for some public notice. The following, we believe, is a pretty correct statement, of the case.— A few weeks ago, an advance was made in tlie price of weaving certain descriptions of silk goods, in which advance the whole of the manufacturers concurred. A hunt a w eek before if took place, one of Messrs. Walkers' weavers bad taken out a warp, which, of course, he had engaged to weave at the price given before the advance; but, on the Monday after the advance, lie brought back the warp to the warehouse, and insisted on having a promise of the advanced price, before lie would begin 10 work upon the warp The putter out, however, refused to make nny such promise, and told him that if be did not work up Ihe warp, legal means would he taken to compel him. The man then went awav, but returned in i'ue afternoon with two men, representing them- selves to be deputies from the s; lk weavers* union, who peremptorily demanded that the advanced price should be given to the man. Messrs. Walkers, of course, refused to pay any attention to these demands ; but, before they could get rid of the deputies they were obliged to procure the assistance of a police officer. Ill consequence of this refusal to acknowledge the right of these deputies to interfere in the matter, Messrs. Walkers appear to have incurred the anger of the managers of the weavers' union, and they were not. long in feeling the effects of it. A demand was made upon them for a higher price than they were then paying for a certain description of Persian Silk, the price of weaving which was determined by the width ; and the demand was made under the pretence that ii was the width, not of the cloth, but of the reed in which it was woven, by which the price was to be ascertained. Messrs. Walkers at first demurred to this, demand ; but, as their weavers were all bringing in [ FROM TIIE CONSTITUTIONNEL. J The history of the Jesuits does not go faither back than the six teenth century; their origin was at Home, in the year 1540. That age, as an historian remarks, will always form n celebrated epoch in the annals of ihe world. A singular destiny made the establish- ment of the Jesuits contemporaneous w ith the discovery, of the new world, and at the same period lived Charles the Fifth, Francis the First, Leo the Tenth, Calvin, and Luther. It wnsr the most favourable moment for the foundation of a new order of friars. The papal throne was shaken to its very basis, the Popes. every where sought for defenders; they instituted fresh monastic brotherhoods, in the same way as secular states raise new regiments in time of war. Ignatius Loyola, a Spaniard, presented himself ns n penitent soldier, he had made some pilgrimages, little thinking' that he should ever be the founder of a reli- gious order. But, connecting himself with some weak men, who placed themselves uuder bis direction, he alarmed the suspicious vigilance of the holy office, and was more than once in danger from this terrible tribunal. At length, wearied wilh difficulties, he quitted his country, and retired into France. On leaving Spain, Ignatius changed his opinion of himself. Tired of being no more than an obscure and persecuted man, he now resolved openly to gain prose- lytes and companions. His first spiritual children were ( jke Spaniard* and a Savoyard. Accompanied by his s x ei eiples, he repaired to Rome, and required the s - vereigu pontiff to consecrate his sect, and allow him to increase it. Tbese'concessions he Could not obtain without much opposition. In order to secure them, he submitted tothe Pope the rules which he intendeds establish. His two principal articles were, the electron of a perpetual and absolute superior, and Ihe vow of implicit obedience to tbe holy see. The first secured to Ignatius the reword of his labours, and the other found favour in the sight of the Pope. They jointly produced the effect anticipated : the Pope confirmed the society, ami Ignatius was unanimously elected general'. The order of Ignatius in a short time flourished every where but in France. The Parlia- ments, tbe Bishops, the Universities, united to exclude them, till at length, in tbe year 1544, Lainey and Saline ton, the envoys to Trent, insinuated themselves into the confidence of Duprat, Bishop of Clermont, the Minister of Francis the First, and this prelate allowed tbe Jesuits to have Colleges in his diocese. Thence ihey proceeded to Paris, where they were for some lime in a very questionable condition. They next sought the protection of tiie Cardinal of Lorraine, who was ihen at Rome. The Pope engaged him to interest himself for the Jesuits, and at his solicitation, Henry the Seeond, in 1550, granted them letters patent for ihe erection of a college, which, however, the Parlia - ment refused to register. They were presented wilh fresh letters in 1552 and 1553 The Parliament con- sulted the Sorbonue, and in 1554 the Doctors,- after much deliberation, considering that this society re- ceived among its members all persons indiscriminately, and that there were privileges granted to it to the prejudice of the Bishops and hierarchy, and also to the prejudice of Princes and their temporal seignories, and contrary to those of the University, tending to the vexation and oppression of the people, and that it occasioned troubles and dissensions, causing quarrels, disputes, complaint*, jealousies, and schism, declared the society to be extremely dangerous in all that concerned tbe faith, an enemy of peace and of the church, and rather established for the injury than for the edification of the pious. In consequence of ibis declaration, the Parliaments tbe Bishops, the Universities, aud the Sorbonne, united themselves to destroy the Jesuits. The only result they gained by the King's letters patent was, that they were repol- ed by the Parliament, despised by the people, so I em illy condemned by tbe Doctors, and anathematised by the Bishops. The sole remedy for these things was patience. Tl was only in K> 6T, at the Conference of Poissy, that through solicitation and intrigue they could obtain from the clergy an acknowledgment of the admission of the title'of their Order, and a College, and even this under the most galling conditions. The act of admis- sion contained this clause—" In failure of executing these said condilions, then these presents to be void and of no effect." On 14th Jan. 1562, the Parliament registered the act of their reception under the same conditions. From that time their power extended very rapidly, not only in France and Europe, but throughout the whole world. The limits of ibis article disable ns from entering into what they dared to do when ihey were powerful— We are already acquainted with their con- duct in. France,, their quarrels with the Universities, the Clergy, and Bishops, and the censures of which they were the object. The part that they took in our political troubles, which iu a great measure were excited by them, the frightful doctrines which they spread, ihe wicked attempts which flowed, from them, their first expulsion under Henry IV. their intrigues to obtain their renal, the promises made by them, aud which only furnished grounds for fresh perjuries, ihe manner in which they abused their influence when they had gained possession of ihe mind of Louis XIV. the persecutions w hich they instituted towards the close of his reign, and w hich they continued under tbat of bis successor, have all been related bv our historians, and sufficiently justify the blow which was first struck against ihem in France, and afterwards by all Europe, indig nant at having been for so long a period the dupe of Ihe hypocrisy, covet- ousness, ambition, intrigues,, and crrmes, of a society, dangerous by reason of its secret affiliations, by means , if m- lii<• Ii it ilrPtv fn iUplf iorii vidostls of nil classes and J timely agreement might have been made between the kings and their people, but the privileged classes opposed it. This resistance produced irritation, and irritation produced excesses ; and now, when tbe irrita- tion has subsided, and peace is re- established, there yet remains a natural dread of the renewal of those scenes which have shaken the repose of the world. The Jesuits bad profiled skilfully from this- slate of things. As during tbe religious reformation' they offered their services to defend the Tiara, they now offer flienisekes as the defenders of Thrones ; and ihe Government of Europe, fearful for tbe present and forgetful of the past, have called to their aid these treacherous auxiliaries. But, at the former epoch, Rome herself was not long in discovering that her new- allies were insubordinate and mutinous ; that, like the Janr- isaries, they more frequently excited fear than rendered service ; and that that obedience which they had promised, far from being absolute, was only conditional, and ceased when the Pope wished to put a curb on their covetousnes's or their ambition. Many Popes announced their intention of reforming the order; some went so far as to prohibit the Jesuits from receiving novices ; and if we are to credit history, all those Pontiffs, who evinced ihis disposition earnestly, invariably perished soon afterwards. Those Governments who, at the present juncture, have accepted the pretended services of this Order, will speedily discover the dangers by which, they are sur- rounded ; indeed they already begin to perceive them at this moment, - the covetousness of ihe Jesuits, s'hoi ambition, and their pretensions., are as plain as the noon- day sun. Already those endless discussions and quarrels as tothe limits o, f the secular and spiritual powers; are beginning lo. appear. A'i ready their false piety and hypocrisy are reviving amongst us, and their superstitious practices dishonour true religion. Already llieir secret affiliations are re- established, and they are gliding into every branch of the public administration ; and when they have completely, encircled the throne, woe to that Prince who would desire to oppose them ! woe to that Government which should attempt to throw off their yoke ! woe to that people whom ibe want of foresight'in its Minister should have placed in so critical a situation ! Histofy is before us, teaching us what we ought to do ; and if w'e will not be instructed by tbe past, let us bestow a little attention on what is going forward on the other side of the Pyrenees ( Spain), and let us behold the dreadful fate of a throne and a people under tbe dominion of i gri'o't'a'irt monks aud fanatics, animated by a Jesuitical spirit. RIGHT TO QUARTERS. From the Military Sketch- Book. A certain little gentleman attached to the army of Lord Wellington, while on the march in Portugal, once took up his quarters in the best house he Could find and having seen his horses well put up in the rear of it retired to the best apartment to indulge himself in a cup of coffee; which luxury, with many others, he was, from the nature of his situation, enabled to carry with him, while others, bis superiors, were obliged to put up with what ihey could procure en passant. Scarcely had bis rapctz drawn off his boots and re- covered his feet with slippers, when it was announced to biin, that an officer was below examining tiie stables, and had ordered his horses lo be put in them — that the officer's baggage was already unloading ai the - door of the bouse— and tbat. the officer himself had selected the quarters in preference to any other in the village. Tbe slippered possessor, in all the consequence of his grade, immediately determined that no. man should turn him out of bis quarters, unless be could establish fully, a claim to a rank superior to his ow n, and that, too, pretty clearly ; in which resolution he began to stride across the chamber with becoming dignity-. At this moment the officer in question entered the apartment, and pro- ceeded to inspect its Conveniences, without observing- the occupier, who, wilh three . formidable-' strides, approached the intruder, aud demanded what be wanted ; which question was answered by the officer saying, that he wished to have the quarters in which he then stood. " You shall not have them, Sir," replied the little gentleman; ( he was about four feet four inches high, but a very respectable and dapper member of the army.) 44 You shall not have them, Sir, I am determined on that." 4t Pray, Sir," demanded the stranger with astonish- ment, " may I be permitted to inquire your rank in tbe army ?" 44 My rank, Sir," replied the little disputant, considerably, irritated ; " my rank, Sir I"— At this moment he put his two hands into his. side pockets in a style that perfectly astonished the listener—" I am, Sir, — since you must know ray rank',— 3 am, Sir, Dir. ##*# Apothecary to the Forces!" " Indeed!" replied ihe stranger, " that rank, 1 picsnme, in taking: quarters, is equivalent to a lieutenant's ?" 44 Yes, Sir, it is, Sir," rejoined the Apothecary to ' the Forces; 44 and now. Sir, let me ask you, Sir, what is your rank, Sir?" " The only difference between our respective ranks is this," said the stranger, 44 that you are Apo- thecary to the Forces; — I am Commander- in- Chief of the same Forces ; and now, Sir, 1 order you to he out of these quarters in half an hour!" The tiny gentle- man stared; and with the most polite and submissive bow ( when he had recovered from the consternation into which the explanation had thrown him) pulled out his watch and said, " Half- cn- hour•? — your Lordship, half- an- houi ? that's very short notice indeed say thirty- five minutes, and it shall be done." The Com- mander- in- Chief nodded assent, and laughing heartily, left the little gentleman to take his own time in re- moving. not known, took out the bricks of the wall, and by the aperture they gained the next ward, which was empty, and formed an angle with tbe wall; they then, with the assistance of the top of one of the ward forms, w hich they tore from its legs, by means of placing; ii from one window to another, gained the top of the wall, from w hich they descended to the roof of M r. Cotton's house. gBittttllantom SnteUi& entft Tiie Bank of England is busy establishing Branch Banks in several parts of the country to discount at 4 percent. But we much fear that these establishments will not prove of any permanent assistance to trade; for the system must injure the country banks, and d extensively adopted, must ultimately derange and perhaps destroy them, for bankers cannot transact business without realizing a remunerating profit : this is a consequence which cannot be too much guarded against, as by annihilating the system of country banking, ihe destruction of one of the most valuable and effectual aids to general circulation would he effected. It is universally acknowledged that nothing is more intimately connected with the general pros- perity of this country, than a due supply of an adequate Circulating medium ; and if we uproot the means by which that effective supply has been long best accomplished-— if we destroy that system, the advantages of which we have experienced for so long a period, in offering a mediating party between tie borrower and the lender; tbe result may prove most fatal both to our commercial and agricultural interests. Let us not then encourage the Bank of England in this endeavour to exterminate private Banks, These latter ought, for tiie benefit of tbe country, still to exist, to be protected by equal law s, and not to be immolated at the shrine of one great monopoly. LORD GODERICH.—- This nobleman remarked, during tbe discussion of the Customs Amendment Bill, in the House of Lords, that " the great vice of the age was an itch for legislation." These words should be inscribed in letters of gold on the doors of the Senate— a, r: cl of the Board of Trade• An address to the Right Hon. SSobert Peel, from the sentry, clergy, and other inhabitants of this town, is in the course of signature, expressive of their respect for the private virtues, and public services of the right lion, gentleman, and' for his steady adherence to the Protestant Church.— Birmingham Journal. In the Gazette of July 14th is the appointment of the Right Hon. Win, Sturges Bourne as Warden and Keeper of the New forest. The Keeper of the Forest, otherwise called Chief Warden of the Forest, is an officer who has the principal government of all things belonging, to a Royal forest, and the. check of al! the other officers. The Lord Chief Justice in Eyre of the Forest, when be thinks pro per to hold his justice seaf, sends out his general summons to the Keeper 40 days before, to warn all under- officers to appear before him, at a day assigned in the summons. This Court may fine and imprison for offences within the forest, it being a Court of Record, and therefore a Writ of Error lies from hence to the King's Bench. The last Court of Justice seat of any note, was that held in the rei. rn of Charles 1. before the Earl of Holland. After the Restoration another was held, for form sake, before the Earl of Oxford; but since the Revolution in 1888, the Forest Laws have fallen into total disuse, to the advantage ofthe subject. The Forest Courts under the Verderers are still held at Lyndhurst, in the New Forest, as w ell as those of attachment, as the Swainmote. The King's house in the village is occupied by the Lord Warden whenever he visits this Forest. An ancient stirrup is preserved here, said to have been worn by William Rufus, at the time he was shot by Sir Walter Tyrrell. It was slated, by the Rev, Samuel Dunn, Wesleyan Minister of this town, w hen preaching in thcMethodist > f which it drew to itself individuals of all classes and stations, introducing itself into the tribunals, the army, the administration, and the cabinet; surrounding, as wilb a net, the throne and ihe people, and thus form- ing a system of Carbonarism much more dangerous than lhat at" which Governments are now alarmed, because to support its earthly passions and interests it dared to call iu tbe aid of Heaven, and lo sanction the most odious crimes in Ihe name of the Divinity himself. We here give a short account of the acts of tiie Jesuits throughout Europe : In 1550, only ten years after their crcation, they stirred up troubles in Poland. In 1578 they intrigued in Portugal lo deprive the Queen of ihe Regency. In 1580, and the following years, they endeavoured to overthrow the Government of England. In 1581 we find them in a conspiracy in Germany. In 15S4 Father Gerard was accused of having murdered the Prince of Nassau. In 1589 they were become in France tbe most dangerous conspirators ; they were neither strangers fo the assassination of Henry the Third, nor to the attempts of Barriero, Chattel, and Ravaillac. Their writers alarmed ibe minds of all people by a formal defence of regicide. In 1593 and 1594 frequent con- spiracies were fomented in England, of which the Jesuits were proved to be either tlie authors or the accomplices. In 1595 they created a revolt at. Riga. In 1598 and 1599 they hired, confessed, and absolved ihe murderers of Maurice and - Nassau. In 1605 we find them in the Gunpowder Piot. In 1622, 1626, and 1634, they excited civil wars in Poland. In 1635 they dispersed libels against Louis " XIII. In 1643 they were driven ftoni Milan, for ( heir immoralities, by St Charles Boromceus. In 1644 they occasioned the dissensions respecting the doctrines of Medina. In 1723 Peter, the Great found it necessary to the security of hi their geers, they consented to give the advance de- !> r( smi and estates to banish them In 17* 28 and 1731 inanded, supposing' that by so doing, they would at |( lf, K/ mjrg Victor and Amadeus, aud Charles Emmanuel once put on end to the hostility with which ihey were () f Savoy, indignant at their conduct, their doctrines, . K„* til'., tiintinsiiinn iliov ^ « 11 1 ,, t] , j, rj'r c)) baIs, restraiiied tliem fr< im takiiig anv pai't assailed; but in this supposition they were greatly mistaken. Concession on their part led only to fresh demands on the part of the union; and a deputation wailed upon them on Tuesday last, for the purpose of informing them, that they would not be allowed to rarry on their business unless they paid fifty pounds to the union, as a punishment for their contumacy,' and a recompense to ihe union for their trouble in calling meetings on their account. We scarcely need add, that Messrs. Walkers indigna itl. y rejected this most impudent proposal ; they therefore remain under the, ban of the union, and their business is nearly « ! a stand. Their own weavers are, almost to a man, desirous of working for them* but dare not encounter the hostility which they would provoke by so doing. The consequences of such proceedings as these to the workmen themselves cannot fail to be most disastrous ; nnd if we mistake not, tbe effects of thin instance of iheir misconduct, will produce consequences which they will not speedily forget." Upon reading the above no man can pretend to pay that the law in regard to master and workman in public education ; and in 1759 they formed a plot against Joseph tlie First, King of Portugal. " AII the above were their acts, bul the detail is far from complete. We will now shew the measures tbat tlie several Governments were compelled to adopt towards them a) different periodsThey were ba- nished from Sarngossa in 1555; from Vatteline, in 1566; from Vienna, in 1568; from Avignon, in 1570; from Antwerp, Segovia, and Portugal, in 1578; from England, in 1579, 1581, and 1586; from Hungary, in 158%; from Bordeaux, iu 1589; from France, in 1594; from Holland, in 1596"; from Tournon, in 1597; from Berne, in 1597; from England again in 1601; from Diiutzic, in 1606; from Venice, in 1606 and 1612; from Bohemia, in 1019; from Naples and the Low Countries., '"> 1622; from Malta, in 1G34 ; from Russia, in 1676 and 1723 ; from Savoy, in 1729; from Portugal, in 1759; from Spain, in 1767; from the Two Sicilies, in 1767; from Parma, in 1768; from Malta afresh in 1768; frem Rome and all Christendom, in 1773. One naturally inquires, after such acts aud such is not extremely defective, as it now stands. Those measures, whether there still exists any Jesuits, and bulwarks, which formerly protected the rights of individuals, and preserved the peace of the manu- facturing districts, have been removed, as incon- sistent with the liberal spirit of the age; and as a substitute for the laws thus swept from the statute book, the self- erected Trades Unions start up in every district, under tbe pretence of affording pro- tection to the workmen, but evidently for tbe sole purpose of committing barefaced robbery upon their employers. We trust that another session of par- liament will not be suffered to puss without a stop being put to " the march of mind," as it is called, in this direction; for if the present system be allowed to continue much longer, the necessary result will he the speedy withdrawal of every shilling of. capital now employed in home manu- factures. Tbe Hammersmith Suspension Bridge is expected to be opened for foot passengers in three weeks, and for carriages in two months. Il is already partially . pianked. The total expense has amounted to £ 82,529, under what Government they can find protection? The fact of iheir existence is explained by their secret affiliations, by means of which this Society, in spite of the just anathemas fulminated against it, is perpetually re- appearing under assumed names. Dis- guises cost them nothing. The support they find from some Governments is derived from a circumstance, of which these Reverend Fathers have profited with address; nnd although the actual period be different from that in which they first appeared, it nevertheless presents, in some respects, a remarkable Coincidence. When this Society was formed in the 16th century, the public attention was occupied by tbe Reformation : the papal power was threatened from all quarters; ihe Jesuits offered themselves as its most zealous defenders and most submissive servants ; they were kindly re- ceived as a seasonable relief, and Rome- exerted all its influence, with the S ates opposed lo the Reformation, to get them admitted aud acknowledged. Intrigue, craft, and the employment of all means, whether good or bad, effected the rest, and curried their power to the highest pitch. For about a century past, the public attention, ou tbe Continent of Europe, has been en- gaged with tbe question of political reform, as if was in the iOth century with lhat of religious reform, A ESCAPE OF SIX CAPITAL CONVICTS FROM NEWGATE. On Thursday morning, about 3 o'clock, the greatest commotion prevailed in his Majesty's Gaol of Newgate, in consequence of the escape of six capital convicts, amongst whom were the two notorious characters White and Roach, who had been convicted dtirin< r the last Sessions. About the hour above stated, Mr. Lynch Cotton ( son . of Dr. Cotton, the Reverend Ordinary, whose house is in Newgate- street, and tbe first round the corner from tbe Old Bailey, the rear of w hich abuts the north wall of the prison), w ho slept in the back atticf was awoke by a noise over head on the roof; he listened, and distinctly heard footsteps, and some person say, 44 this is the way,, Charles," — be then heard them attempt to force the trap dour, but could not, as it was very securely bolti d within side. Mr. Cotton, junior, at once suspected tbat some of the prisoners had contrived to escape from their ceils, and cautiously creeping from iiis bed, roused his father whom he informed of Ibe circumstance. The Rev. Gentleman, with al! possible haste, joined his son in endeavouring to cause their capture. Yonn » r Mr. Cotton repaired immediately to Newgate, and ranc the prison alarm- bell, w hich was instantly answered and lie gave information to ihe Governor, and the rest of the officers, of the affair, of which they were previously in ignorance. Tbe Officers and Turnkeys instantly armed themselves, and ran in all directions in pursuit of them, assisted by young Mr. Cotton, who ex pressed himself quite satisfied the prisoners had not gained the street from tlie roofs of tbe hous » s, os only 7 minutes had elapsed from the time he first heard the noise, lie, theiefore, stationed a party of watchmen Warwick- lane, and others at various posts, to interrupt their progress, should they pass. Mr. Got ton himself took his station on the north side of Newgate- street and kept a sharp look out towards tbe roofs of ihe houses between that of bis father and Warwick- lane He had not been long there, before be saw the door of an empty house, formerly occupied by Mr. Walton a carpet manufacturer, gently opened, and two yonno- men dressed in frock coats ( White and Koaelif come out. lie stood for a moment inactive, and saw them turn towards Cheapside, aud the next moment out came four more, and tbe instant be saw them he shouted out as loud as be was able 44 slop thief" 44 stop thief," ami in an ins'ant, ihe whole of Iiis party came up, and joined in pursuit of the convicts, who rail as fast as they were aide, the first two making for the i East, the others towards Holborn., The ( mt two' a'tbough closely pursued by the officers, succeeded in effecting their escape, but the other four, after a most desperate effort, were taken, and safely lodged in their old quarters. Officers were dispatched in all direc- tions after tbe others, and instant information was sent to ibe Lord Mayor of Ihe circumstance. His Lordship proceeded to Newgate, and, with the Governor exa- mined the prison, and the means that had been adopted by them to facilitate their object, when il appeared that they had broken through the thick wall of their cells, and thereby gaimnl the yard, and then scaled the north wall and descended to the roof of Kir. Cotlon's house, which is a height of about ten feet; thev then crawled over the roofs of six houses to get to that of Mr. Walton's, out of which they made tlieir escape but in what way they contrived lo descend from the' top to the bottom cannot be ascertained, as nearly all ihe stairs have been removed. The Lord Mayor on Thursday morning, was busily engaged with ' Mr Wontner, the Governor, in investigating the matter The persons of tbe two men- that havered are well known to all the police- Officeis, and there is not the least doubt but they wiH soon be retaken. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Lynch Cotton for his promptitude in the business. The whole of the prisoners that escaped were con victed inthe May Session, aud were ali respited by His Majesty, when the Recorder made bis last report" The following are the names aud crimes of the convicts — George Ptummer, burglary ; John t'etre, stealino in a dwelling- house ; George IVtlliav/ s, diiio • John Haines, burglary ; John White, stealing in a dweHino- house; and Thomas Roach, for burglary. 7' he tw latter escaped as above staled. The manner in which they escaped is as follows They were confined in a ward in the northern wing of the prison, with twenty five others, who de late they never heard their opera- tions— aud with some instrument which is at present chapel, North Shields, on Sunday week, that since the late Rev. Mr. Wesley first commenced preaching ( which he did as a missionary in North America about ninety years ago), the Christian body called Wesleyan Methodists, had increased to the large number of up- wards of 600,000 members in church fellowship, in connection with whom were nearly 2,500 itinerant, and 10,000 local or lay preachers.— Tyne Mercury. EXPEDITIONS TO THE ARCTIC REGIOVS—- We now state what has been done on the side of the Pacific Ocean : by which it w ill appear that Captain Franklin's fearing to go on, lest the JV. ossom should ha\; e failed in reaching its appointed des- tination, was very unfortunate. Captain Beechey did succeed, and had arrived at Kotzebue Sound, the appointed place of rendezvous! Here the gallant officer remained, waiting in the fond hope of meeting the overland expedition, till the harbour began to freeze; when, to avoid being frozen in, he was reluctantly obliged to hoist h is sails and depart. Having seen how very nearly Captain Franklin and Captain Beechey had approached each other, the one in longitude 150 deg., and in so high a northern latitude that these degrees are only about 23 or 21 miles; the other 160 miles within Icy Cape, which lies in long. 160, we cannot help feeling more and more vexation that the small intervening space was not surmounted, and their junction, the grand completion of the expedition, happily effected. — Literary Gazette.

Among the papers furnished to Parliament is one, containing a list of the Joint Stock Banking Com- panies which have been established under the Act passed a year ago. This Act allowed banking firms in England to admit any number of partners iu the ratio of their deposits, at a distance of sixty- five miles from London. The scheme, however, does not appear to have been much acted on ; as, in fact, there are but three banks established oil the principle— otic at Lancaster, consisting of 77 part- ners, one in Norfolk of 1- 20, and one at Hadders- field of 351 partners ; for though two others are mentioned ( Old Bristol Bank, and Stuckey's Bank- ing Company, Somersetshire), yet as the former contains but 8 and the latter but 10 partners, they may rather be referred to the old system, in yvhich, though only six partners were allowed to be named as constituting the firm, it rarely occurred that others had not some feeling in its concerns. There is one clause in the Act, which may be a principal cause why the country has not to a greater extent availed itself of the power of forming these com- panies ; and that is, the making it imperative that every shareholder in such bank shall be liable to the whole extent ofhis fortune.

A premium has been awarded by the Society of Arts, to Mr. C. Poppy, of Ipswich, farmer, for a mode of preventing the destruction of turnips by the fly. The mode is to drill common turnip se^ d, in thick rowto draw the attack ofthe fly from the plants in thin roics intended for the crop. It is well known that all the plants iu their infant state, grow most rapid when sown thin, of course the thick sown rows are the earliest, and produce more food for the fly, and the thin sown rows escape. When the purpose for which the thick rows are sown are answered, they may be cleared away with the horse- hoes, and" the flies in them detsroyed. where Swedes are sown, the protecting row should always be of the common turnip, which the fly greatly prefers. Mr. Poppy sa'ys, that in this way he has never failed to have a crop" of turnips of every sort or in any season. A singular circumstance ^ Vas observed at Staplehurst on Wednesday last. Some men in the employ of the Rev. Mr. Horubuckle were haymaking, when one of them perceived a very large snake, whieta he struck at with his rake, aud severed the body a little below the bead. Perceiving an unusual swelling in the body of the reptile, tbe man worked bis foot upon it, till he had brought the substance nearly to the wound, when to his no little surprise, out jumped a frog I The little animal at first appeared rather the worse for its imprisonment, but quickly regained its activity, and hopped out of sight.— Maidstone Journal. TRANSPARENT SOAP — Tallow is the basis of all soaps for the toilette, known under . the name of Windsor; because olive oil forms a paste too difficult to melt, and having an odour too powerful for mixing with perfumes. Tallow- soap dissolving w- iih heat iu alcohol, returns to its solid stale on cooling. It is this fact which has led to the discovery of transpare nt soap. When well prepared, this soap should have the appearance of fine white sugar candy. It may also be coloured, and vegetable colours are for this purpose preferable to minerals. Any person can make the soap by putting into a thin glass phial half a brick of Windsor soap, cut small, filling the phial half full of alcohol, and placing it near the fire till the soap is dissolved. This mixture put to cool in a mould gives the transparent soap. Edinburgh Journal of Science. A sort of prejudice exists in England, in London especially, that while old houses swarm with bugs, the newly- built ones are exempt from this execrable annoyance. Without stating the reverse to be the fact, it will be found, that in no part of the metropolis are these noxious insects to be met with in such abundance as iu the new houses erected in the Regent's- park, into which they have been in- troduced in the American timber employed in their construction. On examining this timber as it comes from the ship, it will be found that the bugs abso- lutely fill up the crevices.— Monthly Magazine. An incident occurred a short t ime since at Rowsham, near Aylesbury, Bucks, which, though somewhat ludicrous, was likely to have been followed by fatal consequences, A servant of Mr. Lucas, assisting to make up a bay ri< k, had, at a leisure interval, while overcome by 44 the beat and burden of the day," and perhaps by the very means provided to enable him to sustain his labour, had laid himself down on the top of the rick to rest In this state Hodge soon fell into a good sound sleep. When the waggon, some time afterwards, arrived with a load of bay, the hay was speedily transferred to the rick by the ot her attendants, unaware that their companion was liable to be smothered by the fragrant load. Another aud another waggon was iu like manner unladen upon the heap, before the sleeper, was missed by his comrades. Inquiry and search were made for him, some time, in vain, till, al lasl, a little boy informed the parly thai he had seen the missing man asleep upon the rick, and covered him, to make him comfortable, with a little hay. To work, I hen, they all went zealously, with no little dread of „ finding a corpse, to extricate their thoughtless companion. Not less than three or four loads of hay had been heaped above the body, and uot less than three hours had elapsed from the time irhad laid down, before they reached its resting- place. To the great joy of the party, they found it safe, and, in every sense, sound. Hodge al! the while was quite unconscious both of their labour, and of his own burden, though u he was not dead, bul sound asleep," In the Roils Court on Tuesday, the question came before his Honour, whether the title of a party to a legacy of £ 2000 was affected by the circum- stance of his having attested the execution of the will in which such legacy was bequeathed to him. The Master of the Rolls said, that although a legacy of personal estate to a witness of a wili conveying real estate was void, because a will giving a real estate required witnesses, yet he saw no reason why a legatee of personal property should be disentitled to his legacy, because he had wit- nessed the execution ofa will bequeathing personal estate, as such will did not require in law any witness at all. His Honour added, " I think this question ought to be carried to the House of Lords. It is one of the last importance, and should be definitively settled, upon one side or the other"— Mr. Phillimore and Mr. Sugden expressed their astonishment that a question of such importance should have remained hitherto undecided.— Mr. Sugden observed, that it was a singular and anoma- lous fact, and only to be accounted for by the attachment of the people of this country to feudal tenures and associations, that a man may give away a million of money by a mere unattested codicil,* whilst a cottage not worth £ 20 cannot be given without an attestation of the w ill by three or four credible witnesses. * The affecting instance of a British soldier who, in the agony of death, indicted, with the point of his sword, a nun- cupative will upon tbe sands of Egypt, will here occur to the recollection of every reader, In the course of last year, the Bishop of London ordained ten English Clergymen as Missionaries to various stations under the Church Missionary Society. In one district in Southern India, a thousand families have almost simultaneously renounced idolatry, and placed themselves under the religious instruction of Church Missionaries. SINGULAR PHENOMENON .-— On Thursday lastf at mid day, a whirlwind suddenly took up a large quantity of hay from a field at Shelf, near Bradford, A considerable number of people witnessed its ascent and subdivision into innumerable parts, resembling a flight of crows, which finally attained a degree of elevation the eye could not reach : but in about fifteen1 minutes the largest portions re- appeared, slowly descending into the field which they had quitted at the commencement of their aerial excursion. It was half an hour before the lighter portions of hay thus taken up reached the ground.-— Leeds Mercury. RIOT IN KNUTSFORD GAOL.— OU Thursdaylasfy thirty seven of the convicts confined in Knutsford Gaol refused to perform their apportioned labour, and such was the state of insubordination amongst lhemr that Mr. Christmas was compelled to request the attendance of the neighbouring magistrates, who, on their arrival, ordered Mr. Christmas to obtain necessary assistance, and they were finally secured in separate cells. An investigation having taken place, two of the ringleaders received six dozen lashes on Friday morning, and two young men who had likewise been particularly active, half that number. This severe hot necessary punishment was attended with the desired effects, and the whole are reduced to tbat state of subordination so requisite in the internal management of a prison. DISTURBANCE IN TIIF. KING'S BENCH PRISON.— During the last few days the King's Bench Prison has presented rather a disturbed appearance, arising out of some strange proceedings of the collegians since the passing of the bill for prevenling arrest where the debt does not amount to £ 20. It appears that tbe inmates of the prison have formed themselves in to a kind of borough^ which they style " Tenierden,' 1 after the Lord Chief Justice ; and for the purpose of redressing all grievances which the inmates of tbe gaol laboured under, and assisting the Marshal in the due performance of the various duties connected with the prison, ihey de- rm i ned, a short time since, to elect two persons a § > their representatives. 7' lie candidates were a Lieut. Meredith ; a Mr. Stanton, who had been engaged iu the , te P'enrvn election ; and a third person of the name of Birch. Each candidate went from room to room can- assing for votes, and bv erecting hustings, and ap- pointing proper officers to conduct the election, no- small disturbance has taken place. The following words were repeated by each of the electors on giving' bis vote;— u The debt for which I am confined is under £ 10, I have paid my chummage, aud have regular! v paid up all dues to the Marshal." The poll clerk the * putting a piece of wood into ihe voter's hand, Ail this is true so help you Bob— kiss- 3our tibby" ( thumb). Monday evening, in consequence of the seri- ous disturbance which had taken place in the inside of the prison by these ridiculous proceedings, the Marshal sent for Mr. Meredith, Mr. Stanton, and Mr. Birch,, and ordered them into close confinement for disturbing the peace of the prison. The Marshal also sent for tbe Mock Sheriff, Poll Clerks, & c. among whom ig one of the most celebrated heroes ofthe prize ring; but they disobeyed bis mandate and refused to attend. TUP disturbance in the prison then increased, and a party os soldiers were called in, and the offending individuals having- been pointed out, they were conducted by fhe military to the strong rooms. Their fellow prisoners, highly incensed at this conduct on the part of the Marshal, prepared a petition, wherein they complain of his conduct for having, as thev alleged, 41 without any cause or reasonable pretext, as your petitioners are. upon oa'. h prepared to prove, barbarously and wantonly did bring into this prison a company of soldiers, with- fixed bayonets, to exhibit an unwarrantably puerile in- stance of arbitrary power, to the great danger and annoyance of trs his Majesty's faithful and dutiful sub- jects, wbb can no longer consider ourselves in peace and safety whilst subjected to the controul of stub un reasonable and wicked power." ( Here follows about three hundred signatures, obtained in the course of an- hour and a half.) ! ! ! At a recent meeting in Dublin, Mr. 0' Connel! r alluded to the principle laid down in the resolution ® of a late meeting of the 44 Friends of Civil and Re- ligious Liberty" in London, Lord Milton in the chair,, The Catholics, he said, should take up that principle 1; they should assert the broad principles of civil and religious liberty, and the right of every human being to worship God according lo the dictates of his own conscience. They ought to cast away the expression 46 Catholic Emancipation," and adopt " Civil and Re- ligious Liberty to all," os their motto, ( Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell concluded by proposing a resoluhos* pledging the meeting completely to identify their cause with that of the Protestant Dissenters, whicb was carried w ith unanimity and amidst the greatest applause. THE HUNTINGDON CONNEXION.— A corre- spondent of an evening paper says be has heard, from unquestionable authority, that at a meeting, held last week, of Lady Huntingdon's connexion, it was unanimously resolved nol to petition, as a body, for the repeal of the Corporation and Test acts, and the reason assigned deserves to be recorded, viz. " because it would assist ihe Roman Catholic cause."— Blackburn Mail. The following advertisement appeared lately in a French paper:—" A pious person, who has made a vow to go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but is prevented by iii health, offers 25,000 francs lo any one who would undertake this journey with purely religious intentions. It is thought proper to make known that no person will be accepted who is under 40 years of age, and who is not of a robust constitu- tion, so as to leave no doubt upon his fulfilment of the vow. The individual who would undertake this journey must do it on foot and barefoot, to enter no inn, tavern, or hotel, and to reccive on his way his lodging and food of hut pious persons alone. He will be forbidden to embark in France, and must proceed by Lyons and Cbamberry; cross the Alps* go to Rome, where he will perform some religious practices ; continue hy La Romagna and the March of Ancona ; and embark at some port of Calabria for Joppa or St., John d'Acre, from whence he will go to Jerusalem. His return must also be effected in the same manner. Apply, by sealed letters, to X. at the Memorial Office, Douay." DIED."
