EDDOWES, SHREWSBURY, Have just received a: large Supply of DR. LAMERT'S CELEBRATED CORDIAL BALM OF ZUHA; OR PHOENIX OF LIFE, ANO GRAND RE- ANIMATOR OF NATURE: A most convenient, safe, and infallible Remedy for Nervous and Asthmatic Disorders, Inward Wast- ings, Lowness of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Pal- pitation of the Heart, Oppression of the Breast, Trembling or Shaking of the Hands or Limbs, Mental or Bodily Decay, Seminal Weakness, Dimness of Sight, Obstinate Coughs, Shortness of Breath, Impaired Memory, Consumption, In- digestion, Sick Iledil Ache, Frightful Dreams; Pains or Wind in the Stomach, and alt Constitu- tional Complaints. rpHE BALM OF ZURA is not recorn- IL mended indiscriminately for every Disease inci- dent to the Human tVanfie ; but for that Class of Diseases which Is termed Nervous^ . it is an absolute Specific; there is rarely a Deviation from Health in which it will not afford Relief. It is to be . considered that Nervous Diseases constitute one- third,' Or perhaps a greater Proportion of the Disorders to which we are liable; it has, therefore, been indisputably proved that the Balm of Zura in variably operates on the Nerves, producing the most desirable anil sanative Effects, and is of the greatest Service to every on£ of those Cases for which it is recommended ; it may be given to the tender Infant, the pregnant Female, and palsied old Age, with Safety and Efficacy, hitherto unparalleled in the Annals of Medical Discovery, being a Medicine which will keep in all Climates. Dr. Lamert has the Satisfaction of submitting the following extraordinary Cure performed by his invalu- able Medicine: MONTGOMERYSHIRE CANAL. EASTERN BRANCH.

DEAR SIR,— Having been a long time afflicted by the following complaints: viz. a violent pain in the back, weakness of the chest, and nervous debility of the whole system, which prevented me following ftiy usual employment. Prior to my addressing Voir,: I had the advice of the Faculty at Plymouth and Tavistock; but instead of any beneficial results, I daily grew worse. Having been induced, from the number of cures von daily performed in this and the surrounding neigh- bourhood, to make applications to you in the year 1823, when I leceived your advice to continue with your celebrated BALM OF ZURA. I did so, and found myself ( in the course of three weeks) enabled to work as well as ever I did in my life, to the astonish- ment of my friendsand those who knew me for which I return you my most grateful thanks, and send yon this letter for publication, that the afflicted may reap the benefit of your celebrated Cordial Balm of Zura, which I consider superior to anv Nervous Medicine offered to the public. I am, Sir, with thanks aud gratitude* yodr obedient servant, THOMAS DODGE.* Milton Abbott, near Tavistock, May 17,1825. Extract of a Letter, dated June 1823. SIR,-- Having sold all the Medicines you left with me, I will thank you for an immediate supply. Had you left me ten times as much I could have sold it all, the demand is so great in our neighbourhood. I have had an excellent account of it from many very respect- able persons of the good it has done. A woifa'an cauie the day hefore yesterday to purchase another bottle of it, and stated that her husband had been confined to his bed six months, and was given over by the Faculty ; but by taking a large bottle, he is so recovered as lo ' ave been down stairs three times, and has no doubt tut he will be a living testimony to the Efficacy of the BALM OF ZURA. I could repeat many more in. stances, but that I am pressed for time. I am, Sir, your* s, & e. S. D. Agent at Helstone. rg^ ME HOUSE consists of Dining, Draw- ii ing, arid Breakfast Rooms, Butler's Pantry, Store Room, and excellent Kitchen, with every requi- site Office complete, five Bed Robrris, together with Servants' Apartments, two Co# ch- houses, Stabling for six Horses, Cow- houses, & c. & c. a Walled and Kitchen Gardens ( well stocked with choice Fruit Trees), with 12 Acres of good Grass Land, and six more may be had if required.

The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude ( llliwately triumphs in thealtainment of Ihe grand object— public approbation. The lest of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has estab- lished WARREN's BLACKING in general estimation, of which ihere exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious pre- paration as the genuine article, to Ihe great disappoint- ment of the unguarded purchaser, arid manifest injury of WARREN, whose character and interest hy this iniquitous system are equally subject lo detriment. Il becomes therefore an indispensable duty lo CAUTION THE I'UBL1C against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to lose, aud stimu- lated hy avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears on each bottle a short direction, with ihe signa. ture, Robert Warren. All others are counterfeits ; and in many instances Ihe imposition labels are artfully interlined wilh a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived hy base fabrications of WARltEN's BLACKING to return the detected trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of ras calily to merited obloquy. WARREN's BLACKING is surpassingly brilliant ; — it excludes damp; gives pliancy to Ihe leather; re- tains its pristine virtue in all climates; and, combining elegance with comfort, is un article equally of indis- pensable fashion and utility.

SIR,—- It is with infinite pleasure and gratitude that I have to acquaint you with the success of your truly n valuable Cordial Baltri of Zura, in a case of extreme and confirmed debility. I had but little faith, I must candidly confess, in any thing, having tried for the space Of three years almost every remedy that I have seen advertised, but without the least effect; but nothing can exceed the rapture that overwhelmed trie,' on experiencing such an iristautarieous effect as followed he very first dose of your inestimable Medicine; and long before I had finished two of the lis. bottles, I felt so completely renovated as to excite the wonder and astonishment of all my friends. I absolutely appeared fo thein as one who rose from the grave by miraculou interposition. Never, my dearSir, can I hope to make any returns to you for the health ( throiigli the blessing of Providence) conferred upon me, but as a living reporter of your transcendant skill in the application of the Cordial Balm of Zina$ to cases of such distressing and confirmed debility as mine. If this can be of any service, you are at liberty to make use of my name and address, for the benefit of others, and, " though last not least," accept, respected Sir, the humble tribute of a heart deeply imbued with gratitude, and abounding with every good wish for you here and hereafter. From your's, truly, J. B. COX, Clerk, Late of St. John's College, Cambridge. JUNE 26, 1824. Slit,— Tlie many unfortunate sufferers who daily fall a sacrifice to the affliction I have so long laboured under, induces me to make the following public state- ment of my own. I am 35 years of age, and about seven yeais since was afflicted in the following almost ndescribable manner:— A disordered stomach, harsh and consumptive cough, hoarseness, shortness of breath, tightness on the chest, weakness of both sight and memory, debility ofthe whole system, proceeding, no doubt ( as I must confess you at first sight informed me), from that baneful and solitary vice too often acquired at schools, before reason asserts her rights over the mind. Prior, however, to addressing you, I had the first ad vice of the most eminent of the Faculty, who, whether they were ignorant of my case ( as I must acknowledge I was at first ashamed to own so disgraceful a disease), or any olher cause, the medicines they prescribed availed not in the least to remove my complaint. After having placed myself under your care, although a mere skele- ton, and by friends advised to refrain frotn such a plan, yet with the apparent ease you undertook my ease, it gave me more hopes than I had ever before experi- enced, and with heartfelt thanks do I now publicly acknowledge, that after being under your care only two months, and continuing the use of your invaluable CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA, such is the present state of my health, that I feel my whole constitution renovated, and my general system of bodily infirmity restored to the animation of invigorated Strength. Accept, dear Sir, the heartfelt thanks of one who is indebted to you for that greatest of human blessings, health; and that you may ever enjoy the same, is the sincere prayer of your attached servant, J. M. TENBURY, NEAR WORCESTER. oo The Balm of Zura is prepared only by Dr. LAMERT, and Sold Wholesale and Retail, at his London Medical Establishment, in Bottles at 4s. 6d.; Ms. ; and £ 1 ; a lis. Bottle contains three at 4s. 6d. and that at £ 1 six Times as much, whereby is a Saving of 7s. Duty in- cluded. Two Hundred Guineas Reward• Whereas the supreme Efficacy of, and unparalleled Number of Cures performed by, the celebrated Balm of Zura, in this and the adjoining Counties, superadding to its eminent Distinction the Sale of 1000 Packages per Month, have presented a powerful Temptation to fraudulent Persons, who palm upon the Public Notice some spurious Imitations ; Dr. Lamert, therefore, offers Reward of 200 Guineas to be paid on the Apprehen- sion of any Person or Persons counterfeiting the Cord in I Balm of Ztira ; and aisoa further Reward of 50 Guineas will be paid for such Information as will lead to the Discovery thereof.

This serious event, for which our readers must, have fieen prepared hy the intelligence in our last Postscript, f- ook place at tea. minutes before four o'clock on Wednesday morning-. Mr. Canning was in his* 57th year, and has left a widow and three children, two sons and a daughter,. 1 he Marchioness of ClaUriearde. His ejifestson is a Captain in the Navy ; his youngest, Charles, arrived from Yorkshire , on Tuesday night, having been summoned to attend the death- bed of his father, awd was just iu time to receive his last fare- well ! The immediate cause of Mr. Canning's death was inflammation of the bowels ; and he himself was the lust to know the danger of liis situation ! He found himself indisposed on the Sunday week ; hut on the fit! lowing day he went- to- Windsor to attend the King; on the Tuesday and Wednesday he was in tow'n-, transacting public business y still getting worse,, and hi* strength sinking ; but nothing appeared which inspired either himself or his family with alarm. On Thursday a medical friend called' upon . him at Cbiswick., upon a matter of business, and he was so struck with what he perceived in his manner and general appearance, that he insisted upon his im- mediately having professional assistance. This was assented to ; and on Thursday evening;, a consultation w- n's held, and the opinion of the physicians then present was, that his case was one of great danger j The disease continued to make rapid progress, in spite of all that the fust medical skill could do to baffle it, watching every turn it took, and applying, on the instant, every remedy likel. y to subdue irs virulence, aud mitigate his su He rings. Tiie M edical gent famen who attended JKr. Canning were, Sir Matthew Tierney, Or. ". Farre, and Dr. Holland, together with Mr. Shoter, the apothecary. The persons present when he died w ere, M rs. Canning, Lord and Lady Clanricarde, Mr- Staple ton, Sir M. Tierney,. Dr., Holland,, and Mr. Shuter,. The Duke of Portland ( Mrs. Canning's brother- in- law) came from town as soon as he heard ofthe fatal event. We are authorised to state that the remains of Mr. Canning will be interred in Westminster- abbey ou Thursday next, and that the funeral will be a private One. — English Chronicle.

The lenity hitherto evinced iu eases of litis sort has been no inconsiderable'Cause of the continuance of the offence. At Stafford, on Thursday, Mr. Justice Littledale, in the case of Cheswass v. Smart, decided to certify. The plaintiff in this case was a horse- jockey, who, by threatening- a prosecution for libel, had succeed- ed in levying- contributions on several Provincial Journals. By the just and humane decision of the Learned Judge, he is' left to pay his own costs, and t ius another lesson is given that may teach such prosecutors and their attornies that an action for libel is not quite so safe and profitable a speculation a.* they had been taught to believe.

His Lordship, with the Earl of Dartmouth, the Hon. Mr, Legge, the Local Commissioners, and the Clergy of the town ahd'neighhourhbod, partook ofasumptuous breakfast at the Rectory of St. Philip's church. After which, about ten o'clock, being joined by a great number of the respectable inhabitants, the procession moved in the following order : Two'Police Officers'.

T. Law,' Chancellor of the Diocese. The ;- Earl of Dartmouth- and the Hon. Heneage' Legge. The Lord'Bishop of the Diocese, supported by his Chaplain. The Beadles of St. Philip's. On arriving at the west doors of the church, the Registrar proceeded to read the petition for the consecration of the churchy which5, having been gone through, the procession passed up the middle aisle into the vestry, where the Bishop amt Ginci'ating clergy robed, and proceeded" again to the west door, when his. Lordship commenced the Consecration Service ; his chaplains and the officiating, clergy reading alternate verses. The Bishop entered the altar accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Gardner, the Rector of St. Philip's, and the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, the Bishop's chaplain. The Chancellor of the Dio- cese read the usual forms, and his Lordship con- cluded the Consecration Service. The regular service of the Church was then com- menced by the Rev. A. J. Clarke, the minister appointed to St. Peter's. After the prayers, the Rev. Dr. Gardner and the Bishop's Chaplain read the communion service. His Lordship then-, ascended fhe pulpit and delivered a very appropriate and forcible address from the 8th, 9th, 10th verses of the I32d Psalm, " Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place : thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests' be clothed in righteousness -. and thy saints stent: for joy. For thy servant David's, sake..: turn? the face of thine anointed." At the conclusion of which his Lordship made an appeal to the congre- gation in favour of the establishment of an organ in the church. A collection was made which amounted, including: £ 5 each from the Bishop, Dr. Gardner, and J. Taylor, Esq. to £ 70. 16s. 4Jd. The church was very fully attended ; and it was highly gratifying to witness the lively interest taken on the occasion by so great a number of respectable persons. The building, which is in the Grecian style, reflects much credit upon the architects and builder. It contains 1903 sittings, of which 1381 are appro- priated to the accommodation of the poor. The first stone of this church was laid on the 24th of July, 1825. The total cost of erection amounted to £ 13,087. 12s. 3d. being £ 8S2. 10s. 8d. less than the estimate. The site cost £ 3,718,. which was de- frayed by his Majesty's Commissioners for building new churches and chapels. The interior of the church is peculiarly chaste and beautiful ; and the painting of the reading- desk and pulpit is remark^ ably well, executed'.

ICE- HOUSES — It is a point still doubted whether ice will keep best with straw or without straw, and whether a door at the top only is better than a door at the side. Perhaps the following statement may lead to comparison, and from thence the question might be partly decided. An ice- house with a door at the top only, where no straw had been used, containing an interior space of about 54 cubic yards, was examined on Saturday week, and there remained a column of ice 6 feet 7 inches high, and 14 feet in circumference. The ice- house was per- fectly free from any bad air.—' Carbonic acid gas is usually generated in ice- houses by the decomposition of straw, and being heavier than common air, can- not easily be got rid of when the door is at the top only ; but when the door is at the side, it flows out under the feet imperceptibly on entering- an ice- house where straw is used. pa id, MORTGAGE SECURITIES / ANTED for £ 14,000 — A pply to Mr. FISHER, Solicitor, Newport; if by Letter, Post- OSWESTRY AND LUDLOW.

MEETING AT MANCHESTER.— The Times and Morn- ing Chronicle of Saturday present their readers with a copious report ofa meeting of " operatives," held at Manchester, on Wednesday last, for the purpose'of " taking into consideration the propriety of addressing his Majesty on the subject ot the corn laws, the late changes in the administration, and other important matters." The motive assigned by bur contempo- raries for publishing this trash, is to shew that the people of Manchester approve of the proceedings of the present Administation. If any thing could he more ridiculous than the speeches themselves, it won Id be the impudence with which these persons bandy tlie words " Eldon, Peel, and Wellington ;" and retail, as original, the low gibes against the illustrious per. sons, with which the ministerial journals have from time to time supplied them. In the report in question, a Mister Brookes, the leading orator of the assembly, is made to declare that the " Church, as established by law, ought to he done away witlfj whilst his auditors are stated to have expressed their opinion that the Dissenters should be done away with• too f Another Manchester ministerialist— a workman of the nanie of Foster, followed tip the recommendation of his brother orator, by suggesting that the " StatMef^ o. p^' ' of England, and them that made it should be burned, togetherwhilst a third member of the same fra- ternity, a cotton spinner named Jonathan Hodgins ( a great favourite of the Times aud Chronicle by the way), hinted in pretty unequivocal terms, that Lord j Eldon, the Duke of Wellington, and Mr. Peel ought to it be beheaded for high treasonThese sentiments, says the journal, to which we stand indebted for, the report, were received with " cheers so tremendous* that they might be heard three quarters of a mile off'. How sincerely gratifying it must be to the: present enlightened administration to hear of so enthusiastic a display of the loyalty ( yes, loyalty is the word now) of the " people" of so important and populous a district as the town of Manchester! { !

That the Grand Jury of the County of Salop view with Regret the falling off which for some Years has taken place in the Salmon Fishery of the Rivet- Severn. They feel anxious to express their Hope that some Legislative Means may be adopted, tlie Object of which will be as well to afford a more effectual Protection to the Breed of, Salmon, as to ensure a more general Participation in the Benefits of its Fishery to al! Parts of the River, than the present Laws appear calculated to Effect. 2dly. That a Petition to the House of Commons, founded upon the foregoing Resolution, be prepared. 3d! y. That the Members for the County be requested by our Foreman to present and support the Petition, to be founded on the above Resolution. 41111V. That the Foreman be requested to write to the several Members within Ihe County, soliciting their Support of ihe said Petition. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The Humble Petition of the Grand Jury for the County of Salop, assembled at the Assizes held at the Shirehall, in Shrewsbury, in and for the said County, on Saturday, the Eleventh Day of August, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty- seven, SHEWETH, That that Part of the River Severn which runs through the County of Salop was formerly famed for its Salmon Fishery, but that for some Years the said Fishery has greatly fallen off. That your Petitioners conceive that a General Law, applicable to all Rivers in ( lie United Kingdom, establishing Ihe same Fence Months, and removing all Obstructions lo the Pas- sage of Salmon up the Rivers to which they resort, from Saturday Nighttill Monday Morning, at Periods when Fishing is allowed, would tend greatly to augment Ihe Breed of Salmon, and contribute to increase the Fisheries throughout nil Paris of Ihe before- mentioned River; they therefore pray that the Bill before your Honourable House, having this Object iu View, may pass into a Law.

Sale to commence at Three to a Sccoud, On Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock, Mr. Baron Vaughan took his seat at Nisi Prius; and at the same time, Mr. Justice Littledale commenced the business of the Crown Court, where the following Gentlemen were sworn of the Grand Jury : — The Honourable Robert Heury Clive, of Oakley Park, FOREMAN Sir Henry Bdwardes, of Brace Meole, Bart. Sir WilliatnEdwardRouse Boughton, of Dovvnton Ha%; Bart. Sir Rowland Hill, of Hawkstone, Bart. Sir Andrew Corbet, of Adderley, Bart, Sir Robert Chambre Hill, of Prees, K. C. B. Andrew Vincent Corbet, of Acton Reynold, Esq. John Arthur LLoyd, of Leighton Knolls, Esq. Edward William Smythe Owen, of Condover, Esq. William Wolryehe Whitmore, of Dudmas- ton, Esq. Pan ton Corbett, of Louguor, Esq. William Charlton, of Apley Castle, Esq. Philip Charlton, of Wytheford, Esq. Thomas Netherton Parker, of Sweeney, Esq. Thomas Eyton, of Eyton, Esq. Thomas Harries, of Cruckton, Esq. Francis Blithe Harries, of Benthall, Esq. Francis Knyvett Leighton, of Shrewsbury, Esq. Ralph Benson, of Lutwyche, Esq. William Owen, of Wood house.,. Esq. F. dward Cludde, of Orleton, Esq. Thomas Bulkeley Owen, of Tedsmere, E « q. Samuel Yate Beiiyon, of Ash, Esq. TheKing's Proclamation against Vice, Profanoness, and Immorality was then read ; after which, Mr. Justice Littledale proceeded to charge the Grand Jury. — In looking over the Calendar, be said, it did not contain any great number of offences ; but. there were three cases among them to which he thought it was his duty to draw their particular attention : those of Richard Bowen, Samuel Watkiss, and Richard Davies. His Lordship said, he hoped ihey Would pay great at- tention to the depositions in each of those cases, and if they did not think the charges against either of the prisoners were borne out by sufficient evidence, they would not return bills against them. Mr. Justice Littledale then observed, they were probably aware, that there were several Acts passed since last Assizes, which materially altered the Criminal Code; one of which he thought it was necessary to mention. He said, that, by the late Act, stealing in a dwelling honse to tlie amount of 40s, constituted a capital offence ; but by the new Act, it was not a capital offence, unless the property stolen amounted to five pounds.— The Grand Jury then retired to business. The first prisoner brought up was JOHN JONES, for stealing various articles of household furniture from a dwelling house at Pentrepant, the property of George Henry Carew, Esq.— James Barratt stated that he was steward to Mr. Carew ; that the hottse from w hence the articles were stolen had been occupied by Frederick West, Esq. up to the 1st of May last ; that the keys of the house had been given up to witness on that day ; that on the 20th May lie took an inventory of the articles left there, part of which belonged to Mr. West and the other part to Mr. Carew. On the 3d of June lie had occasion to go to the house, when he found that several panes had been taken out of one. pf the windows, and the sash thrown up ; he then examined the house, and missed a mahogany table, a looking glass, a feather bed, bolster, two pillows, and a curtain.— In answer to a question from the Judge, he said, the house had not been occupied since Mr. West left it, but was waiting for a tenant ; and that it had not been occupied by Mr. Carew ( who resides in Somersetshire) these 15 years.— Catharine Teckoe said the prisoner came to her house on the 2d of June, bringing a looking glass with him, which he said be found in a ditch covered with leaves, and wished her to put it up for him, but she said she would not. On the Sunday following the prisoner returned again, bringing vvith him a table, a bed, and a curtain, which he wished her to take care of; but witness said she would not, as she did not know whether he came honestly by them, and he then took the articles away. — Richard Jones, constable, searched the prisoner's house, aiid found thestoTen property .— William Binner, constable of Oswestry, assisted in searching the prisoner's house, aud discovered him hiding the cur- tain under a bedquilt..— Eiiz& beth Evans, housekeeper to Mr. F. West, swore to the articles ( which were pro- duced in Court) being Mr. Carew's property.— His Lordship then recapitulated the evidence to the Jury ; in the course of which he said, the amount of articles stolen made it a capital offence ; but as the house had been uninhabited forsometime previous tothe robbery, the prisoner could not be found guilty of stealing- in a dwelling house ; the capital part of the offence would therefore be done away. If the family were gone on a visit., or had left the house to go sea- bathing for a short time, it was then protectable property ; but in the present case the house was waiting for a tenant, and therefore the otFence was Larceny.— The jury re turned a verdict of guilty ; and he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. BENJAMIN PALMER, BENJAMIN BEARD, and THOMAS CHATHAM, were charged with the manslaughter of John Barker, at the parish of Wheat- hill. Mr. Charles Joseph Russell, attorney, stated that the deceased left his house on Sunday, the 8tfi of July last, about 4 in the afternoon, to go home; that he was quite sober.— Mary Cheetham said, she lived at the Three Horse Shoes public- house, Clee Hill; remembered John Barker and Thomas Chatham coining in on Sunday evening, the 8th of July; they were drinking gin and water together ; that shortly after Palmer came in, and joined them ; they drank about 8 glasses, when a quarrel took place about the shot. Barker then challenged to fight Palmer, and they went into a field a short distance from the house ; witness said sbesuw the fight, which lasted about half an hour.— Edward Bytbeway, an apprentice blacksmith to Samuel Cheetham, the land- lord of the Three Horse Shoes, stated that he saw the prisoners drinking there; he saw the fight; that Beard seconded Palmer, and Chatham seconded Barker; they knocked each other down several times during the fight; in the last round Palmer knocked Barker down, when he was immediately taken up, but he could not speak ; he was then carried into the house, and placed on a chair, where they left him about 11 o'clock at night, thinking he was asleep, and went to bed.— Edward Rea said lie assisted in carrying deceased into the house ; prisoners were there ; witness said Barker was alive when he left him at 11 o'clock, and he breathed freely. — On being Cross- examined, he said lie heard Palmer say 4' You are a gentleman, and I am a poor fellow , and I do not wish to fight;" that Chatham tried to prevent the figlrt ; and that in the last round he saw Barker run to hit him.— Thomas Davies, labourer, saw the fight • that in the last round deceased- fell on his right shoulder; Barker breathed, but did not speak;, he was then carried into the house, where he was put to sit on a chair; he did not see him again till between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning, when he was quite dead, but not cold; his head leaned a little towards the right, shoulder; his head was upright when he left him at 11 o'clock the over night. — Mary Davies saw the fight, she said it was a fair fight; that she heard the people cry " Well done Palmer," or " Well done Barker," just as it happened in each round.— Steven Owens, surgeon, examined the body of the deceased, and found 2 or 3 ounces of coagulated blood in the head, and a turn or on the hack part of the head ( a liltle inclined to the right side), and under ihe scalp there was a small portion of extravasated blood.— In reply lo a question from the Learned Judge, lie said, the injuries sustained were sufficient to cause his death ; lhat the tumor was caused by external violence which may have been by a blow, or a fall upon some hard substance. On his . cross- examination he said, the vessels of the head were generallyjfull, and that the rupture of the vessels may have been caused by bodily excitement, such as drinking or passion, added to mental exertion whilst fighting, which was likely to produce apoplexy. The Jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. WILLIAM HUGHES, for stealing two bullocks, the property of Edward Roberts, of Llanuvvchllyn, Merionethshire.- It appeared that, in June last, John Richards was employed to drive a quantity of cattle from Merionethshireinto Shropshire; that on reaching Wellington, he went to the Cock Inn, and had the cattle put into a field belonging to the inn ; that he counted the cattle as they went through the gate into the field, and the number* was right, and he locked the gate and left them ; this was about eight o'clock on the night of the 29th of June last; in the morning, when he went for the cattle, there were two bullocks missing. Witness, knowing there was to be a fair at Bridgnorth on that day ( June 30), immediately went there where he saw the prisoner ( who had been offer- ing the bullocks for sale) in the custody of Edward Good all, the constable of. that place.— The bullocks were sworn to by the prosecutor, and the prisoner was found Gu'ilfy.— Judgment of Death Recorded. JANE CADMAN, for stealing a piece of lace and a piece, of silk handkerchiefs, belonging, to William Andrews, Mardol, Shrewsbury, pleaded guilty ; when His Lordship said " Jane Cadman, if you think by pleading guilty you are likely to have a lighter punish- ment, you are'gVossiy mistaken, for 1 assure you, the punishment will be exactly the same as though you had pleaded not guilty, and had been afterwards found guilty by the jury."— The prisoner vvas then sentenced to 6 months'imprisonment. WILLIAM JONES alias HENRY SIMMS, for breaking open the dwelling house of John Morris, of Wellington, and stealing various articles of wearing an pare I, & c. therefrom.— The prisoner ( iu company with two others) wrenched a bar from the window, and took several panes out, by which means they effected an entrance into the shop, and after stealing thereout 50 waistcoats, 80 silk handkerchiefs, 6 pair of trowsers, 6 pair of breeches, a fi ve- pound note, a guinea, a sovereign, about £ 4 in copper, and £ 4 in silver, they proceeded to the kitchen, burst open the door, from thence to the brewhouse, where tbey also forced open the door, and then made their way off through the garden wicket, leaving a pole behind them, and a crow- bar on the shop counter ( supposed to be used by them in breaking open the house), which • were produced in Court. Tbey . had propped open the kitchen and. brewhouse doors and garden wicket. — John Corbett said he lived a few yards from prose- cutor's house ; he heard a great noise, and immedU a* ely got up, when lie saw'the prisoner and the o> her villaini-' ( who had bundles with them) coining from near the shop of John Morris; they then went up Jarratt- lane, which leads out of Wellington.— Wi: liam Tolly, guard of the Triumph coach to Shrewsbury, stated, that be saw three men lying down by the side of the road at the foot of Overley Hill ; when they heard the coach coming they got up, and two of them threw a bundle each over the hedge ; when the coach came near them, witness asked what they were doing there, and they said they had been sleeping there ; he then asked them why they threw the bundles over the hedge, and one of them told him lo mind his own business; there were two waggons in the road at the time, which was between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning; witness and the coachman ( after passing the waggons) got off the coach, upou which the three men got over the hedge, and picked up the bundles'; Tolly and the coachman and waggoner immediately pursued tjiem across a field, when they dropped one of the bundles, and shortly after dropped another bundle, one of which was picked up by witness and the other by the waggoner, and they then gave up the pursuit; the bundles Were deposited in the coach ; tile one bundle contained 39 waistcoats, and the other contained 6 pairs of breeches.— John Eden, coach- man ofthe Triumph, said he recognised the prisoner at the White Horse, Abbey Foregate, in the course of the sanie he was apprehended.— The'two bundles were pro duced in Court, and the articles which they con-, taijied.. ( with the exception of one pair of breeches) were identified 4> y the prosecutor.— The jury imme- diately found the prisoner Guilty, aud Judgment of Death was Recorded against him.— The prisoner, on being removed from the bar, said he hoped they would let him have the breeches lhat were not sworn to. JOHN EDGE, for stealing* a hat, the property of Samuel Smith, was" found guilty, upon the elearcst evidence, and sentenced, to seven years' transporta- tion,— There was another indictment, charging the prisoner with Stealing-, from the person of James Chance, . a. p" ocket- book, containing a £ 5 note of the Worcester bank, and a £ 1 liote ofthe Kidderminster bank, and some silver, but it was not entered into. GEORGE AM ISS ON, for stealing a pick, and several other articles, the property of the Right Hoti. Earl Gower, persisted in pleading- guilty, and was sentenced to be transported seven years. JAM ES RUSSELL, for breaking open the dwelling house of Thomas Nash, of ibe parish - of Milson, and stealing some silver and copper coin therefrom, also persisted iu pleading guilty .— Judgment of Death recorded. JOHN PAINTER, charged with assaulting Charles Hedges, of the parish of Stottesden, and keeping in his possession 6 pounds of bacon, and other articles, the property of the said Charles Hedges, was acquitted. WILLIAM STRETTON, THOM AS PITCHFORK, and GEORGE GREEN, for burglariously breaking into the dwelling- house of Thomas Danks, at Wen- lock's Walton, and steal tog divers articles of wearing apparel therefrom.—- Thomas Pitchfork pleaded guilty to stealing part of the articles.— Thomas Dunks said he fastened the doors about 9 o'clock on the 4th of August last, and went, to bed ; witness got up in the morning about 6 o'clock, and fouud that a pane had been taken out of the window, and the window unhasped and thrown open,; v he then searched the house, and missed 3 shirts, 2 petticoats, a linsey apron, some shirt clolh, several caps, and a quantity of yarn. On the 5th of August, in consequence of information received, he went to Bridgnorth for the constable, and they went in pursuit of the prisoners, and overtook them at a camp on the Morfe, near Bridgnorth; the constable asked who that tent belonged to, and Stretton said it was his, upon which the constable replied, he must search it, as lie had a warrant for that purpose, vvhen he found the stolen property therein, which was produced in Court, and identified by the prosecutor's wife.— I'he prisoners Pitchfork and Green, on being asked by his Lordship, whether they had any thing to, say in their defence, said, they had nor, but that they had accidentally met with William . Stretton after they had committed the robbery, and offered to sell the whole of the stolen articles to him., and he said he would not buy them, but if they wanted something to eat, if they would come to his tent he vvould give them some.— The jury then acquitted Stretton ;, but found Pitchfork and Green guilty, and Judgment of Death was recorded against them. JOHN PRATT, for breaking into the dwelling house of Edward Dyke, of Clun, and stealing an oak box, containing money, and various articles therefrom. — It appeared that on the night, of the 9lh of May last, John Pratt, in company with John Jones, ( who broke . out of gaol on the 17th of June last), entered the house by means of a ladder, which they had placed against the kitchen window ; they then proceeded up stairs, and contrived to take an oak box from out of the housekeeper's room, while she was asleep, they then unfastened the kitchen, door, t » ok a large axe out. of the brewhouse, and, about 100 yards from tite house, broke open the box vvith the axe, took several Bank of England notes of £ 10 each, 7 sovereigns, 7 half ditto, some old coin, and among the rest a shilling with a hole in it ( which prosecutor said he bad had in his possession 50 years, and had been iu the family above a century), and various other articles thereout ; there was a quantity of writings in the box, which they threw on the ground, and left there.— They afterwards went to Bishop's Castle, to the shop of l\ ir. Norton, draper, and enquired if he sold ready- made Clothes, but Mr. Norton said he did not, but he would recommend them to a shop, where they would be served well, and then wrote a note, and directed them to John Palmer, tailor, of the same place, to whom Pratt delivered the note ; they then purchased a suit- each', and Pratt a waiste& at extra, for which they were' charged £ 5 5s. and the prisoner gave John* Palmer a £ 10 Bank of England note, aud he received the difference. The clothes which Pratt hud on w hen he was tried w ere sworn to as being the clothes that lie purchased of Palmer. They also boug ht a watch. each from a watchmaker in Bishop's Castle, of the name of Edwards, and they gave him a £ 10 Bank of England note in payment for them. They told tlie watchmaker their names were James Edwards and John Edwards. They went to Pulverbatch, wliere they were taken into custody by James Weaver, who searched them at the public- house there, and found some of the stolen articles upon them, which were most of them sworn to by the prosecutor.— The Jury returned a Verdict of Guilty .— Judgment of Death Recorded. SAMUEL WATKISS, charged with bestiality in the parish of Prees, was acquitted of the capital part of the charge, but to he tried next assizes for the mis- demeanor. RICHARD- PINCHES, for stealing a black mare, the property of Mr. Dolphin, of All Slrettou, had Judgment of Death recorded against him.— The prison- er was seen at All Stretton on the day previous to the robbery, and he was afterwards seen passing through Bridgnorth with the mare in his possession. Mr. Milner, of Bridgnorth, who had seen llie prisoner riding a mare without saddle or bridle, had suspicion that it was stolen, and in consequence of information which he received, proceeded to Birmingham, and there found that the mare had been sold by the prisoner to a horse- dealer named Mills, who afterwards sold it to a person livincr at Hales Owen; aiid at that place the mare was discovered by Mr. Milner and a constable.— The pri- soner received a good character from a number of respectable persons.— Mr. Milner, who volunteered to go in pursuit of the prisoner, was highly complimented for his praiseworthy exertions. THOMAS JONES, was indicted forstealinga parcel containing gloves ( the property of Messrs. Rogers and Pa « > e, Shrewsbury), from the Prince of Orange coach travelling between Birmingham and Shrewsbury.— Tlie coachman received the parcel at Wolverhampton, and put it into the hinder part of tbe coach. The prisoner was coming oht oF Staffordshire, and seeing the coach, got up behind it, took the parcel from where it had been put by the coachman, and went off towards Iron- bridge. lie afterwards sold a part of the gloves to a person at Ironbridge, and offered another part at price which created suspicion. He was questioned as to where he obtained the gloves from, and he said bis brother manufactured them in Birmingham. The constable immediately apprehended him, and the pri- soner confessed having hid the remainder of the gloves in a barley field near Shiffnal, where they were found, together with the invoice.— Verdict, guilty:' to he transported seven years. THOMAS KID, JOSEPH STANLEY, JOHN HOLLINS, and WILLIAM CHRISTIE, were next tried for breaking into the dwelling house of Goot'gp Filler, of Hales Owen, and stealing thereout seven bains and other articles.— The chief evidence against the prisoners was that of tin accomplice named Joseph Phillips, who staled that he was at the Wheal Sheaf, in Birmingham, in company with Kid and Stanley ; soon after 11 o'clock they went to a house where Holjins and Christie were, and they then started for Hales Owen, where they arrived about half past one o'clock. They first went to a draper's shop, but the barking of dogs on the premises obliged them to. abandon their project. They afterwards went lo the house of the prosecutor ( a public house), w hich the prisoners- at. the bar entered by bursting open ihe parlour window, Phillips watching outside. Kid, Stanley, Rollins, aiid Christie remained in the house about half an hour, and then came out'at Ihe front door, br ifigiug with t hem I he pro per I y missed by the prosecutor. Phillips and the prisoners, after the robbery, proceeded in different directions for Birming- ham, and were seen on the road, carrying with them large bundles, which contained property identified by the prosecutor and his servant.— They were apprehend- ed by the Birmingham police officers; and Phillips thre-. v away a pair of shoes and a picklock key..— The evidence of Phillips- was partly corroborated i » v other witnesses; the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty; and Judgment of Death was recorded against them. JOHN CLIFF, was charged with bigamy, in having married Mary Hill, widow, his former w'ife being then living.— Mr.. Holt, acting overseer of Drav ton, produced an examined copy of the register of the marriage of John Cliff with Ann Griffiths, at the church of St. John the Baptist, Chester, on the 28th of August, 1824; he also produced an examined copy of the register of the marriage of John Cliff with Marv Hill, a? Newcastle* under- Line, on rhe 2d of April, 1827. — Mr. Moll, from something he had heard, told Cliff if he married again he would be prosecuted for having two wives; prisoner replied that the. first woman was not his wife. • Not- withstanding this, he married a second time, though he knew, as the Judge sialed, of his former wife being alive.— He WHS found Guilty, and sentenced to 7 years' transportation. JOHN BURTON was indicted for breaking out of the County Gaol — The prisoner was convicted at the last Quarter Sessions of a felony at Drayton, and sen- tenced to 6 months' imprisonment.-— Early in the morn- ing of the- 3d .. of August the prisoner got out of hii cell by removing the bricks in the wall; A plank ( part of t he- scaffolding used hy tbe slal^ ' £ norse, Aooev to egote tn me course , i, e. no| J WM" foillld ^ ared against the boundarv waif, day, where he had been drtnk. tig, when , wh4 Il> ean9 be . effech d his ccapc.- Verdic ireheudedShe' two pro- Guilty : n, be imprisoned 1 year.

Owing to a particular mark made by a small nail between the joints of tiie tire on the cart- wheel, Mr. John Clayton and Mr. Benjamin Biillock traced it to Hughleigli ; they went on iu different directions ti) rough East wall, Wenlock, Stretton, Ike." and at the Hundred House, Munslow ( a distance of 25 miles from Wroek- wardine), Clayton came up wilh tlie prisoners, who directly went on towards Ludlow. Mr. Clayton imme- diately obtained a warrant, pursued them, and, with ihe assistance of some neighbouring people, apprehend ed them. The cheeses and other articles were found in the cart when the prisoners were taken,— They were sentenced to be transported 7 years. t THOMAS WEBB, for an assault on George Steed, of Newport, and robbing him of his'hat, stick, and other articles.— The prosecutor was returning from Knighton to Newport, on the evening of the 29th of June, and was met on ihe road by about 20 men ( navigators), three or four of . whoiiij including the prisoner, came up to him, and insisted on his drinking some ale which they had With them; he drank, and the prisoner knocked him down and used him brutally, took his hat, Si, c. and then made off for Newport.— The constable of Newport and the prosecutor went to a public house in Newport, where they discovered the prisoner, having in his pos- session Mr. Steed's hat and handkerchief. — lie was found guilty, aud adjudged to one year's imprisonment to hard labour. ELIZABETH LLOYD, for stealing a pair of shoes, tho property of Richard Parker, of this town, was sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment. Yesterday morning, THOMAS RICHARDS, and several others, were brought up, charged with assault- ing Samuel Elliott Walter, of ironbridge, whilst in the execution of his office as constable of that place; but in _ consideration of the families of some of the prisoners, the plaintiff kindly gave up the prosecu- tion, and, after being severely warned by Mr. Justice Littledale not to be found in similar practices, they were discharged.— This concluded the business of the Crown Bar. • NISI FBI US- WOODWARD tv. BOOTH. The plaintiff in this case, Mr. John Woodward, is an innkeeper, in Shrewsbury, the defendant, Mrs. Booth, keeps the Golden Lion Inn, Chester, and is one ofthe proprietors of the Bang- up Coach running from Chester to Shrewsbury . Mr. Slaney opened ihe plead- ings, and Mr. Taunton stated the case. The present action was brought to recover the sum of £ 7, for the value of a trunk and its contents, be- longing to the plaintiff, and which, it was alleged, had beeu lost by the negligence of the defendant or her servants. It appeared in evidence that, on the 29th of June, 1826, Mr. Woodw aid came from Manchester bv the Dart Coach to Chester, and ou getting off the Dart, he g- ave his trunk to a person who has for many years plied in the Golden Lion yard ns porter, saying*, " Here, porter, take my trunk,! tint for Shrewsbury;" the porter took the trunk, autl was afterwards seen witli it in his hand.— Mr. Woodward then went into the coach- office of the Golden Lion, and took his place for Shrewsbury ; and after arriving- at Shrewsbury be found his trunk had not been brought along- with him, nor bad he heen ablesiuce to learn any tidings of it. On the part of the defendant, the evidence w ent to prove, that, tile porter t'o whom Mr. Woodward g- ave nis trunk was uot paid by Mrs. Booth, but by the per- sons who employed him ; that be worked for person, ill various p- trts of Chester ; and therefore was not a servaut. of such a kind as to render Mrs. Booth liable for his negligence, li further appeared that the trunk had no direction 011 it. The book- keeper from the Golden. Lion deposed, that he himself was the ottlv person whose duty it was to take, care of lugg- ag'e brought either by passengers or otherwise; that when Mr. Woodward took his place for Shrewsbury, he had no luggage or ti unk with hint, nor did he mention any ; and that, at. the time he took his place, Mr, Woodward stood within two feet of a large painted board, con- taining1 a notice that Mrs. Booth would not be account- able for passengers' luggage of am/ value, unless regularly entered and paid for ; nud which painted board was also surmounted by another printed notice to the same purport.— These notices were produced in Court, together wilh a model of the Coach- office. Mr. Campbell, who addressed the Jury for the de- fendant, said, the celebrated Lord Erskine, in a ease of this description, bad observed, that, when travelling by coach, he always followed tbe example of the wisest or animals, the elephant, aud carried his ' trunk before him ; Mr. Woodward, unfortunately, had not followed this good example, but had left Iti's trunk behind him. The learned gentleman contended, that Mr. Wood- ward had been negligent in uot directing- the trunk, as, though left behind, it might, if directed, have been subsequently forwarded ; he also contended that, even i f the porter should be considered ' by the Jury as the servant of Sirs. Booth, still, they must find a verdict for the defendant, inasmuch ns M r. Wood ward had not only neglected to enter or produce his lug- gage in the cotiC; b- office, but must also have been cognizant of the notices which stared him in the face as he entered and stood in the office ; and even oil the latter ground only, tlie defendant was entitled to a verdict, Tbe Jury found a verdict for the defendant, on the ground that they believed Mr. Woodward must be taken to batwj bad cognizance of the notices stuck up in the office, and now produced in Court, by which Mrs. Booth had declared she would not be answerable for any passengers' luggage that was not regularly entered aud puid for. BEVAN' ri. GABRIEL. This was an action for an assault.— It appeared in evidence that tbe defendant, being iu liquor, and iu - a room at the Feathers Inn, Ludlow, [ tad called the plaintiff a rogue; the. plaintiff; who was sober, re- torted, by saying it was a lie; on which the defendant struck 1- inl two or three violent blows, and gave him a black eye, which the plaintiff was under the ne. cessitv of having painted some days after, in order that he might be able to appear in pnidic.— K further appeared that the table and glasses wera upset in the squabble' on which occasion 8s. 2: 1. became due for broken jugs and glasses, of which sum' ihe plaintiff paid- 4s. Id.; that the defendant offered an humble apology the morning hut one after the occurrence, which was re- fused ; aud that, subsequently, after plaintiff had em- ployed an attorney, defendant positively refused any concession, alleging that the defeudant'had used the plaintiff's brother- in- law ill; but it was given in evidence that this brother in- law was most anxious for the defendant to compromise the affair. Mr. Phillips, in a very h- utii. irous speech, addressed the. Jury for the defendant, commenting on the above Circumstances, and alleging that there was a Borough Court in Ludlow, in which the matter might have boon settled without bringing'it to Shrewsbury, if justice only bad been the object sought to be obtained. 7' he Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, wilh 31s.. damages ; but as 110 damages under 40s.. of themselves carry costs in an action of this nature, without a certi. ficate from the Judge, application was made to his Lordship for the plaintiff's costs ; but his Lordship declined, observing lhat be should leave the costs to follow the direction the verdict had taken. .- HALE 0. PARS ES. This was an action brought hv Robert Hale, Gent of Meole Brace ( a, descendant, of Lord Chief Jus. ice Hale), aged 76, against Mr. li. B. Partes, a vouu"- oi. an aged 25, lor an assault.— The plaintiff, wiih. hfs tnend Mr. Kempster,"- were shooting in the' parish of M. eole Brace, on the 5th of Se- plember, 18- 25, when the defendant, in company with the gamekeeper of the manor, cauie across their mule;' the gamekeeper went to request Mr, K. enips. ler, to leave off shooting, and Mr. 1 arkes meanwhile accosted Sir, Hale, and de- manded to see bis certificate, which Mr. Slale immedi- ately produced. The defendant afterwards pus' e 1 . • Hale twice, and subsequently, 011 Mr. U, ile throw- ing a clod to dri/ f th'e- dugs of the defendant from a bitch tlmtt. be plaintiff had with him, the de!' en, r nt kicked Mr. Hale violently, just above trie ;,•••.•<• ' » .. 1 111 doing SO also br(> ke the lo.' k of Ihe plaintiff ' s'g 1111. — The action had been brought immediately attepih,'. occurrence, but negotiations having taken place to compromise the matter, which ultimately faile. l t|, K affair had stood over until'this time.— The Jury fouud a verdict for plaintiff, with £>;, damages, SUTTON MARSH. Toe plaintiff ami defendant are neighbouring farmers.; and lire present action was brought to n" cover the value of „ sow, which had died, as w is alleged, in co. n » equ. eHCft. nfthe defendant bavin..- se' hi-; dog to woriy the animal.— The case was not clearly proved ; aud the Jury found a verdict for ihe defendant. EDWARDS v. THOMAS 1 he plaintiff Mr. George Edwards, is a respectable brazier » .., I tinman, of Bridgnorth; the defendant, Mr. i bomas, is a farmer aud grazier, residing near that town, and the present action was brought to vindicate the plaintiff's character from aspersion- i which the defendant had wantonly cast upon it. The plaintiff bad been a material wii'nvss nn the trial of John. Newton, who was executed for the murder of hp ' wife in 1823, and notwithstanding Mr. Edwards hud conducted himself as to that unhappy business so as to receive a htgh compliment for. Ii'is conduct from' Lillet Justice Best, before whom Newton was tried as well as the approbajion of all who witnessed the ti'iai the defendant, when somewhat iu liquor,. had thought , publicly to accuse him of causing Newton to be hung wrongfully.— The plaintiff's case having been gone through, Mr. Curuood, who was counsel for tbe defendant, said he was counsel for Newton 01, bis trial, and he must say' that no man's conduct could iiave been more humane and proper than Mr. Ldwards's had be- eu as to that unfortunate man and Ins family ; and his client could llafe no possible ' reason for impugning . Mr. Edwards's conduct - It was then proposed, that us Mr, Edwards's object wait ' solely to vindicate his . character, a verdict with 4( k. damages, which would. carry costs, should be taken against the defendant; and Mr. Edwards most handsomely acceding to this proposal, a verdict for plaintiff wilh 40s. damages was accordingly entered ; and Mr. Baron Vaiighaii complimented Mr. Edwards for his forbearance 011 this occasion, as well as for his humanity ou the occasion which had been otherwise alluded to. PRITCHARD WALKER, rile plaintiff. in this case was Mr. Peter Pritchard, of Ellesniere; the leal defendants were the trustees of the roads from Shrewsbury to Wrexham ; and the question at issue was one of disputed account I he plaintiff alleged, that £ 129. 2s. 6d. was due to him for ' business done as clerk to the trustees and for assisting in soliciting || le jj, cw Act. of Parliament'for the roaifs above- mentioned ; the defendants averred that, instead « f the trust being indebted to Mr. Pritchard, he hud been actually overpaid to the amount of £ 48. 0s. 0d.— Theexaminalioiiof the documentary evidence produced occupied the Court for several hours ; when Mr. Baron Vang ban said, lie certainly could not instruct the Jury to find for the plaintiff as to his charges for salicitiug' the Act ; but there was an item of about £ 10 in Mr. Pritchard's bill for business done ill his capacity of clerk tothe trustees; and for that he thought a veiiliet must he taken for the plaintiff.— It was then arranged that the plaintiff should have a verdict for £ 10 " ANDERSON » , WATSON. The plaintiff, Mr. James Anderson, is au attorney's clerk in Shrewsbury ; the defendant, Mr. J. " W. Watson, is an attorney in Shrewsbury ,— Tlie plaintiff had obtained £ 200 ou mortgaee of. certain freehold, premises, from Mrs. Ann Rowlands,. a client of . Mr. Watson, who was the agent in the business, and had subsequently applied ro Mr. Watson to obtain a larger sum on mortgage of the same premises. — Mr. Watson, was in treaty for procuration of this sum, when lie learilt that the premises in question were not only settled upon Mrs. Anderson, but had actual!-., " fell mortgaged to a Mr. Will! at- ilte fiiTie Mrs: Rowlands had advanced the money, nud these circumslances the plaintiff" had concealed; lie, therefore, caifsed' M f. Anderson to he arrested as at the suit of Mrs". Rowlands ; and the alleged ground of action now was ' hat lie had doneso without Mrs. Rowlauds's authority', as it was proved that Mrs. Rowlands did uot know of the arrest at the time it took place. But Mrs. Rowlands, oil being examined, staled, that although', she did not at the time kn > w of the arrest, yet, as she had confided her property to Mr. Watson, and'looke. ii lo him to protect it, she certainly approved of w hat he had done.— The Learned Judge, therefore, thought Mr. Watson justified . in the course he had taken, and directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited, TURTON v. YATES. This was an action brought to recover the sum of £ 220 and interest, alleged to he due Ou a promissory note.— Ou tbe instrument being put in, it proved that Ihe re was au indorsement upon it^ hv which the parties severally agreed that there should be on either side three months' notice given before the recall or' re- payment of the money'for which the note was ihe' voucher — Mr. Campbell", therefore, for the defendant urged that this was not iu reality a promissory n. te but a special agreement, and to be valid; ought to have beeu on a 20s. agreement stamp, instead of ou a 5s. stamp.— Ill this the Learned Judge coincided, and directed the Plaintiff to be nonsuited, but with leave for the plaintiff tii move ( lie Court above for permission to set aside the nonsuit, and enter a verdict 011 liis ow n behalf for the amount claimed, THE KING v. CHARLTON AND SPENCER. The prosecutor in this ease was Mr. Nicholas Whit- worth, a corn- dealer, of Drogheda, Ireland; the de- fendants were Charlton, a countable, of Holyhead, and Mrs. SpenCcr, the landlady of the Eagle'and Child Hotel. — It appeared by the . prosecutor's testimiinv th at on the 21st of September last, h. e took his place at Bangor by the coach to Holyhead, and: paid his. fare.: On arriving at Holyhead,, he was walking down lo-. wards the packet, in order to take his passag- e fur- Ireland, when . Stringer, the guard ofthe coach lie had. travelled by, came. up. and demanded the payment of ihe fare from Bangor to Holyhead.; in vain " did Mr. Whit worth assure him he had" paid it, tbe other drag-.* ged him towards the Hotel of Mrs. Spencer, aud offered to bet the. prosecutor £ 5 that he had not been booked at Bangor. The prosecutor accepted the bet, and on examination he appeared to be regularly entered on tlie way- bill as having paid his fare, and won his wager; the stakeholder handed him overthestak. es and then Stringer most brutally assaulted him when again going towards the Packet, in order to force him to give him his, t' 5again ; Stringer presented a loaded pistol or blunderbuss at him, and HI order to escape the man's rage Mr. Whitwortli cried murder, and ran for his life to the . Hotel'of Mrs. Spencer : he there locked himself in the traveller's sooin ; and shortly after, he was told that Stringer was out of the way oil which be opened the door ; he asked' for a bed,* but was told by Mrs. Spencer he should have no bed there.* she subsequently sent for a constable ( namely the defendant Charlton), aud ordered him to take the pro secutor out of the house ; the prosecutor asked the con- stable for bis authority,- on which the constable pro- duced his staff and a pair of handcuffs, the latter of which lie endeavoured to. force upon the prosecutor;. prosecutor in vain remonstrated with Mr. s. Spencer and the constable on their conduct; but sivme time after Stringer having humbly asked him to restore him the £ 5 note, he did so ; and then he was allowed to go to bed at the Hotel. The prosecutor admitted that the constable, after he had endeavoured to handcuff him offered him a bed at. his house, but denied that Ann Price, the cook at the Hotel, had erer offered him a bed at her house, which adjoined the Hotel. It appeared that Stringer- had been convicted at the Anglesea Sessions of the ussault above- mentioned, and had been fined £ 20. for his . misconduct. On the part of the. defendants,. Ann P » ; ice, the cook, Ann Parry, the. chambermaid, and Dav id.. Griffith, the boots at the Hotel, were called. " They positively swore that Mrs. Spencer never spoke. to the prosecutor ou the night in question, nor ever was in the room with him, and that no handcuffs were eter produced by the constable.— Price and Parry also swore that the house was so full QII ihe, night in question that there was no bed for the prosecutor until two gentlemen^ who had engaged beds there, gave up their intention of stopping at the Hotel, iu consequence of the disturb- ance occasioned by the prosecutor and . Stringer, and as soon as their beds were declared vacant, the prose- cutor was . permitted to go to bed in one of those so vacated.— Price also deposed, that she and the consta- ble had offered a bed. to the prosecutor, which here- fused : sjie also staled, that Mrs. Spencer came down, stairs in consequence of the affray, and was dovyn stairs when the constable came; David Griffith also, stated that Mrs. Spencer was down stairs, by the pantry, when the constable came;. Ann Parry deposed that Mr. Spencer was not down stairs at lhat period. Mr. Phillips, in a . iiio< t eloquent and intrenions speech addressed the Jury . for. ihe prosecutor, and said, I here e vidently vvas perjury iu the ease; where the perjury lay, he would leave to ijie decision of the Jury. — In thin remark the Judge coincided. The Jury found the defendants Not Guilty.

WORDSWORTH. COMB, while in freshness and dew it lies, To the world lhat is under the free blue skies! Leave je man's home, and forget his care— There breathe* un sigh on the dayspring's air. Come to the woods, in whos- e mossy dells A light ail made for the poet dwel! v, A light, coloured softly by teuder h aves, Whence the primrose a mellower glow receiver. The stock- dove is there in the beechen- free, And the lulling tune of the honey- bee ; And the voice of eool waters midst feathery fern,; Shedding sweet sounds from some hidden urn.- There is life, there is youth, there is tameless mirtlV, Where the streams, with the liiies they wear,, have birth-, There is peace where fhe aiders- are whispering1 Iow : Come from men's dwellings, with all thetr wo!' Yes ! we will come— we will leave behind The homes and the sorrows of human kind ; It is well to rove where the river leads Ils bright blue vein along sunny meads : It is well through the rich wild woods to go,- And to pierce the haunts of the fawn and doe ; And to hear the gushing of gentle springs, When the heart has been fretted by worldly stings : And to watch the colours that flit and pass With insect wings through the wavy grass ; And the silvery gleams o'er the ash tree's bark, Borne on with'a breeze through the foliage dark. Joyous and far shall our wanderings he, As the flight of birds o'er the glittering sea ; To the woods-, to the dingles, where violets blow, We will bear no memory of earthly wo. But if, by the forest- brook we meet A line like the pathway of former feet ;-— If, midst the hills, in some lonely spot, We reach the grey ruins of tower or cot ; — If the cell where a hermit of old hath prayed • Lift up its cross through the solemn shade ; —- Or if some nook, where the wild flowers wave, Bear token s- ad of a mortal grave ; — Doubt not but / Tiere will our steps be stayed, There our quick spirits awhile delayed ; There wiil- thought frx our impatient eyes, And win back our hearts to their sympathies.

Where it hath suffered and' nobly striven. Where it hath poured forth its vows to Heaven ; Where to repose it hath brightly past, O'er this green earth there is glory cast. And by that soul, amidst groves and rills, And flocks that feed on a thousand hills, Birds of the forest, and flowers of the sod', Hre, only ivey may be linked to God ! at fact, experience, reason, and public good, without earing for party aud personal interests— tlie country Wofrlri suffer far less than it does from- party asvd faction. The amendment was carried, and in consequence Ministers abandoned ihe Bill. Then began the war of slander and falsehood. The Prime Minister, according to ihe newspapers, charged the Peers, in his place hi Parliament, with being determined to reject any change w hatever that the Commons might devise respecting the Corn Laws, lie slated that this vvas clear IO all: and that the people who walked the streets protested that such was the fact. What the street- walkers who did this Were, in sex aud calling, the Right Honourable Gentleman did not describe; and it is possible enough thai there may be a class capable of doing it. But no matier whether the charge was made by tlie Prime Minister, or by street- walkers, or by both, it was grossly untrue— it was made in the teeth of decisive evidence to the contrary. Pieviously to its being made, the Peers, in their collective capacity, had proved them- selves to be wilting to pass the law sent to them from ihe Commons-, with this exception only-^ thev raised the duty on bonded wheat. This alteration sanctioned the principle of ihe law, and involved the abolition of the existing Corn Laws. The Premier's charge was much THE REJECTED CORN LAW. [ Abridged from Blackwood1 s Magazine.'] There may vet be found people in the world who do not resort to abstract doctrines, or party interests, or popular delusion, for opinion : their sturdy faith is not to he won by the assertions of this public man, or thai party ; by newspaper declamation, or the shouts of national clamour. They form their judgment from the dictates of impartial justice, plain truth, and sober common reason ; and they are not the less satisfied wilh k because it is unfashionable and unpopular. Such people must have found in the conduct of the Govern- inent and the country, for the last two years, respecting the Corn Laws, a spectacle alike extraordinary, afflict- ing, and portentous. It is a fact which no man living will question, that if the agriculturists cannot obtain a price for their corn sufficient to pay the costs of its production, it must no longer be grown. With respect to wheat, Ministers themselves say that this price ought to be 60s. per ' quarter of eight Winchester bushels, and most people- including the intelligent part- of tlie manufacturers— » gree with them. A higher price is not asked for by fhe agriculturists. Ft'is anothf* fact, which no man living will question, that it is utterly impossible to Keep wheat at" eXaerfv the same price ill every week throughout the year. Its price must generally" be some shillings per quarter lower just after harvest, when the whole qrop is uncon- tumed, and much of it is in the hands of needy farmers, who are compelled to sell, than for some time previously to harvest, when but little of the crop is left, and that little is held by wealthy people. The expectation of an abundant crop will depress it: unpromising weather will raise it considerably. Speculation will cause it to fluctuate ; public prosperity, or adversity, will exercise kirge influence over it. Neither the absenee of all Corn Laws, nor any Corn Law that human ingenuity could invent, vvould keep the price of wheat from varying in the course of the year to the extent of several shillings per quarter. Taking it for granted that the agriculturist ought to obtain 60s. per quarter for all the wheat he sells, it necessarily follows, that, if he sell half at 55s. he ought to sell the other half for 65s. If lie sell two- thirds at 55s. he ought to sell the remaining one- third for 70s. As this will only make the average price to him 60s. so it will only make the average cost the same to the con- sumer. The latter will gain as much from the low price, as he will lose from the high one ; and, for the year round, he will punctually buy his wheat at 60s. the quarter. It is from all this demonstrable, that a law, having for its object, to prevent the agriculturist from obtain- ing more on the average of what he sells than 60s. ought to permit him to obtain at times considerably more than this price. If it prevent him from ever obtaining more, il must necessarily prevent him from •> ver obtaining on the average so much. The duct na- tions will compel him to sell most of his crop for several shillings less, while he will never be able to obtain a few shillings more, to counterbalance it.. If the law prevent him from ever obtaining more, by admitting foreign wheat as soon as his price rises to 60s. he wiil not often obtain more than from 60s. to 55s. Putting bad harvests out of sight, it will admit as much foreign wheat as vvill keep the price down at 50s. or 55s. • xcept during short and distant intervals. The new law vvould afford no protection again> t frroundless fears and speculation. If at the eve of larvest there be a few weeks of unfavourable weather, it is sure to set the speculators to work, and to raise corn considerably. In sneh a case, au enormous quan- tity of Foreign Corn would be brought into the market, and, probably, our own crop vvould not Suffer in the least from ihe weather. The new law would therefore have admitted Foreign wheat to a greater or less extent until the Gazette price should have fallen below 55s. Importation would soon have created a glut, which would have sunk the price much below 55s. In ordinary years, the mass of our farmers— those who need protection the most— would have obtained no more than from 45s. to 50*. From harvest until May, the Gazette price would generally have fluctuated between these sums, whatever it might have beeii the rest of the year. What we have said respecting wheat, is applicable to other kinds of grain. Now, what was the amendment proposed by the Duke of Wellington ? At the time, there were between six and seven hundred thousand quarters of Foreign wheat, including flour, in bond ; the weekly iiiiporta tions are always large ; aud there was almost a certainty that Ihe quantity would be raised by harvest lo nearly n' million of quarters. There was n prospect of an abundant crop— of a crop sufficient for our consump- tion. There was not a man in the Cabinet who did not know that if nearly a million of quarters of Foreign wheat were brought upon the market at harvest, to meet an abundant crop of our own, it would produce a large and ruinous depression of prices, especially when tlie market was to be constantly open to further im- portations. To guard against this, Ministers had not deigned to make the slightest provision. The Duke, as a member of a Committee, had been convinced that the corn- dealers, by means of fictitious sales, could raise the averages, and bring the bonded corn into the market almost at pleasure. He therefore proposed that the bonded wheat should not he released until the Gazette price should rise to 66s. This applied solelv to bonded wheat; it did not touch other grain, or wheat, not bonded •, it did net affect the principle of the law, according to what this principle was repre- sented to be ; il lefl the market constantly open for Foreign wheal at the duty fixed by the law, provided it should not he bonded ; and it made no change what- ever in respect of olher kiuds of corn. Previously to proposing his amendment to Parlia ment, the Dnke solicited the opinion of Mr. Huskisson. The reply of the latler was so vague and ambiguous in its meaning, that the Duke expected his amendment would be wholly or partially adopted by Ministers. After he had carried it, he offered fo withdraw it, pro- vided they would remedy that defect iu the' law, which they practically admitted to exist. Conduct like this, forsooth, was called factious. An attempt to improve the law, by removing an admitted defect, and applying a preventive to that which was likely to plunge half the community into distress, was, forsooth, to oppose tbe vvhoie law from parfy and factious motives. If every Member of Parliament would always act as the Duke of Wellington acted on this occasion— would look worse than calumnious, it constituted nsahoiniuable an attack upon the rights and independence of Parliament as ever Was made. It in reality asserted, that the Upper House had uo right in the constitution to be a delibera- tive body, or any thing but the instrument of the Lower one. If one of ihe Estales of the Realm is to be thus dealt with, we may easily divine what W to be doue wiih another. The object evidently Was, to fill the country with delusion and distraction — to cover the Peers with popular indignation— and to obtain that ma- jority amidst them by intimidation,? whieh could not'be obtained by constitutional mean.?. The attack was met by several'of tlie £ eers as if de- served to be. Lord Grey's eloquent and constitutional reply to it'deserves the highest praise. We will now speak of Lord Malmeshnry and liis friends. While they voted— and in onr judgment ntost wisely and righteously voted— a- gainst the whole law, they declared themselves to he willing to give the law of 1822 immediate bperaiion : in other words, they were willing that Foreign wheat should be admitted whenever our price should reach 70s. The Peers, bar- ring the Ministerial part'of them,- were unanimously in favour of it. Every merchant', every manufacturer, every man living, knows that if Foreign wheat were admitted at 70s. the effect5 would be, that the price would he gener- ally considerably below 7< 5V.- The price could not rise to this without admitting ay much Foreign wheat as would almost immediately reduce if greatly. Under such a regulation, the price in ordinary years could not be more on the average of the year than from 60s. to 63s. or 65s. Would such a pi ice be a famine one,< and starve ilie population?' Not one of the Ministerial newspapers will dine to reply in the affirmative. It is matter of demonstration, that what Lord Maimesbnry and his friends advocatedr could not possibly cause w heat lo be, on the average,, more than a shilling or two per quarter dearer than it is when we now write; and yet not a false sycophant could lie found in the land to assert that its price is at present unreasonable. And now we will ask, what possible public benefit of any kind can be produced by ihese detestable misre- presentations and falsehoods? No- man can deny, that if ihe law make the price of corn too low, it will plunge half the population into beggary and misery, and bring the most fearful evils upon the whole. This is wholly above question. It necessarily follows*, that Ihe argu- ments of those w ho urge that the law will fix the price too low, should be truly stated, and dispassionately ex- amined. Such people may he overwhelmed with false- hood told' scurrility — they may be replied to by mob- clainonr— ihey may be made the objects of popular hatred and vengeance— and what can be gained from this? Public ruin. The Upper House of Parliament may be stripped of its functions— it may be involved ill war with the Lower one — it may be made the object of national animosity— and what will follow ? Tiie de- struction of the Constitution. If there be any man who is in danger of being misled by the cant of the age respecting the march of intellect, and the abounding of knowledge, science, and philoso. phy, who is in danger of believing the bombastic egotism, and silly swaggering of Ministers and their worshippers— we pray that man to examine impartially the history and consequences of this war on the Corn question. That corn ought to fetch a price sufficient to cover the costs of its production, is admitted on all sides. The first step, therefore, to be taken vvas, to discover what price would do this. This step has practically been Uiken, and there is no material difference of opinion touching what the costs of the production of corn are, and what price is necessary to cover them. The next thing to he done, manifestly, was— to enact a law that would, as far as possible, always keep corn at this price. Now, what lias been done here ? The law attempted to be enacted, only sought to prevent the price from being too high. If is manifest that it would have rendered the price considerably lower than it ought to he, according to the professions of all sides. The matter in dispute is comprised in ihese questions: — Shall a reduction of from five to ten per cent, be made in Ihe price of wheat? And shall the price of bread be from a halfpenny fo a penny per week cheaper fo each member of the community than if is al present ? For this the country has been filled with strife and distraction— the most serious injury has been done to agriculture— half the population are to he brought into danger of ruin— and fhe empire is to he threatened with fearful evil*. The reduction cannot be made Without placing agriculture, und, of course, the best interests of the empire, in jeopardy. All this. may be called know- ledge, science, and philosophy; but it shall never be callcd so by us. Its parent's may boast that they are the greatest and wisest men that ever existed, but our panegyrics they shall never receive. We have opposed free trade, chiefly with reference to it* application to agriculture. It could not he made to have any material direct operation on the leading manufactures ; and the interests which it has so griev- ously injured do not employ, comparatively, a verv large portion of the population. But wheu applied to agriculture, half the community would be exposed to ils destructive direct operation. lis progress has been for the moment arrested, and we have yet only had its comparatively trifling beginnings. Agriculture, how- ever, has only received its year's respite ihrongh a heavy sacrifice. It would be unpardonable in ns to withhold our praise from those Peers by whom the country was saved from the evils fomprehended in the rejected law. When public men are audaciously making a boast of apostacy, trampling upon principle, and proclaiming, by their conduct, that they have a right to do any thing to serve their personal and parry interests, it is refreshing to find such an example of consistency, patriotism, and independence, as lias been furnished by Lords Grey, Filzwilliam, and the other Whig Peers who voted with the Duke of Wellington. Wheu men of their station thus nobly cast from them the bonds aud interests of party, for the sake of their country, they shall never, no matter what their party name may he, be without our honest panegyric. The Duke of Wellington needs no further praise than we have given him, however h'rghly he may deserve it. But it is to Lords Malmeshury, Lauderdale, Redes- dale, Stanhope, ond the Peers who voted with them, that ihe gratitude of the country is especially due. The excellent resolutions of Lord Redesdale deserve warm commendation. Lord Malmesbnry's unremitting search of facts, his patient investigation, his accurate deductions, and clear and solid reasoning, his steady boldness in grasping any topic, no matter how unpo- pular, cannot he eulogised sufficiently. It is men like liiin — men who care not for parly, who care not for unpopularity, who cannot be swayed by national delu- sion, and who courageously assert ihe dictates of truth reason, experience, and patriotism, regardless of the consequences— whom England ought to venerate and follow To such men she owes all she possesses; and through snch men only can she retain what she possesses. been accustomed to the use of arrow root in the West Indies, take this flour hi its stead, without ever suspect- ing the smallest difference, and I' have myself frequently given it to invalids wiih the same advantage. Indeed ihe two roots are natives of the same climate, and entirely of the same quality, being both applied to the same use ;• the Sower of arrow root is employed for starching linens as well as tliat of pohttoes, and il is but very recently that it has been Used for food even itV that Country. Potato flour is admirably adapted for Com- mercial purposes from its great value arid small bulk, and it may be kept for a great lengih of time Without damage ; indeed I have known it preserved for eight years without any change whatever. Tlii. « r article has long been occasionally used in several respectable families in the Highlands, as a substitute for vVbeaten flour, on a small scale, to satisfy curiosity, though it has never been converted to any public advantage as food, so far as I know. I have myself, however, used it for a considerable time, and in large quantity with great satisfaction. For puddings, pancakes', and all sorts of pastry, it is incomparably good ; boiled in milk, or in water coloured with milk, it makes most excellent r food; and mixed with a small portion of coarse wheaten flour, with eggs, or even with mashed potatoes, it makes the finest loaf bread, and improvements will, no doubt, daily be made upon it; in short, it is in all respects the same with arrow root, and superior to common flour. The enormous quantity which the stomach receives, and which the system indeed requires, of potatoes for its nourishment, when they are the sole food, cannot fail lo be highlySnjurions to that organ, and diseases of that class have therefore become very frequent of lale years, to the unspeakable distress of the lower orders* On weighing ihe measure of this root usually allotted for a labourer's ureal, I found it amounted to six pounds, and from this I had a pound and a half of the flour, which afforded me eight breakfasts for my own use, each consisting; of two table spoonfuls of flour boiled in a pint of milk. This very interring fact may give us some idea of tfreextreme importance of this discovery. Here we imry have ninny w^ pwiiie, nourishing, delicious, nay, luxurious meals,- from one very bad one. In POTATO FLOUR. OX TUtMKiJil OF INCREASING THE QUANTITY AV D IMPROVING THE QUALITY Or I'OOD. [ From the Scotsman."] [ The following article was put into our hands by a medical gentleman. It presents the result of a pretty long c ourse of experiment aud observation on a subject of a good deal of importance, and is, we think, entitled to public attention.] Every country wliicli depends chiefly on potatoes for fond, in list lie frequently exposed to scarcity, because the surplus of one year's crop, cannot lie preserved to supply llie deficiency of another, as in the case of grain. The extreme poverty of the people lins compelled them to subsist almosi entirely on this root for many years, and il lias therefore become an object of Ihe highest importance to discover a remt'dv for ihe above defect — Since the famine which prevailed'iu the year 18- 21, 1 have paid great attention to this subject, and i have found lhat this purpose eould lie accomplished io various navs, hut the conversion of lliem into flour 1 consider far superior iu utility to every other means. By many experiments, I find that potatoes of a good qutility " ill afford about a fourth of iheir Height of this flour, if carefully prepared; and it is notorious that a very large proportion of what is sold in this country under the name of arrow root, is actually potato flour manufactured at home. Acciim stated this several years ago, and medical men are quite aware of the fact • nor is the purchaser injured liy the deception, the otle being, ill all respects, precisely llie same with tlie olher, of which every one may satisfy himself by comparing tlietn. I have very often knotvu persons, who hud lung consequence of the very easy and familiar process which the material bad' Undergone, from Ihe worst of all human food' we may have,. in truth, the very best. The average produce of an aere of hind under potatoes over the United Kingdom-, eirltiTntpd by the spa'de, may be calculated at IVotlt 150. to 300 barrels,* or from. fourteen to eighteen tons, which will yield from three fo four and a half tons of flour, or frt. ni 50-' Fo< 70' ( mils of Mollis.; now our best land under wbeil- t' will not average above six or eight bolls an acre. When We add fo this the superior quality of this flour, we find here an advantage almost too great for the human mind to" conceive. Immense as the advantage is, however, it h un- questionably true, as may easily he proved' by fhe infallible test of experiment, which all, even the poorest,, can make, and to which they are earnestly entreated fo have recourse. The annual expense of snpporl% g the poor of England and Wales cannot fall short of eight millions of money, including every way in which charity is bestowed. Under this system, let an acre of land and the milk of a cow be assigned for every four poor families ; with these and a few hens they may live very comfortably. To breakfast and supper they may have this flour with milk, and to dinner they may have pancakes or pudding by the addition of eggs.— This is* stated as one instance of the incalculable ad- vantages which may flow from this discovery. If the yearly produce of the United Kingdom be worth several " hundred millions, as political calculators assert, what must be ihe value of that improvement which increases that produce many fold ? By the due cultivation of . this most important and' most useful of all objects, in ihe short space of two years, Britain and Ireland may ' support any population. Instead of depending on other countries for food, we could actually supply the greater part of Europe. Even China would maintain many times ifs present inhabitants under this system. According to the usual price of potatoes, the boll of this flour wilt cost about seven shillings, or fourteen shillings the sack ; the pound vvill cost about a half- penny, and half a= pound for each person may be about t h e avemge con sum pti on of a family; now this is the very same substance which the rich and luxurious at present enjoy, an- d- nefually consume in large quantities, at the exorbitant price of two shillings the pound, or £ 28 the saeky under the foreign name of arrow root, and this but lately was sold at double that price, while all this benefit is- obtained without any expense what- ever.-^-— Perhaps there is sit* process more universally known than the manufacture of this flour under the appellation of potato starch ; by means of a barrel lined w ith sheel iron- platings pfeteed horizontally on an axle, like a butter churn,. the women nnd children of a family may prepare any q- ua'ntity of this flour, and this barrel would serve fifty or sixty families al an expense of less than a shilling each. The pulpy mass may be filtered throngh the milk strainer, diluting it copiously with soft water, and it may be dried on a cloth exposed to the sun, or in an oven over a slow fere, stirring it frequently. In towns and populous places, mills will, no doubt, be constructed fur grinding or mashing it, and proper kilns for drying it. The refuse makes excellent puddings, if prepared in fhe same manner, with rice. Indeed, every well wisher to bis country ami to his species must support it. The general ac- quaintance which our people already have with this flour, though under a different name, and for a different purpose, height be expected to favour the rapid progress of the discovery. Too many persons, however, entertain a silly contemptible prejudice against any thing that is already in some degree familiar to them ; forgetting that every thing was once new. Can any thing good come out of Galilee ? is a sentiment as prevalent at this day as it was 1800 years ago. The health and comfort of the lower classes were no doubt my chief object in cultivating this subject, and to them it is certainly ihe most important, although it cannot be denied that these foolish prejudices prevail most strongly among them. It must, however, he adopted, and lhat very speedily; the numerous public institutions for instructing the people in useful knowledge which now exist, must be very favourable to its dissemination. The vast increase of its production— the excellence of its quality, their more recent privations, and the common use of arrow root, are all in its favour; and a liberal and patriotic periodical press, will he a most powerful agent. It particularly belongs to the Clergy of all denominations to exert their influence in this woik of benevolence, and H is lo be hoped that no selfish motive vvill diminish their zeal in an employment so peculiarly becoming their sacred office. The managers of public works and hospitals will patronize il. School- masters will also have much in their power in recommending this most useful kind of domestic economy by example and ; precept. The poorest mechanic or labourer may live wiih a degree of comfort hitherto unknown, and the enjoyment of it will depend entirely on himself. We are aware lhal potato starch for linens is prohibited, with the very ineffectual intention of favouring the duty on whealen starch, which returns hut a very trifling revenue. This prohibition, however, could not have been intended to affect the making of poiato flour for food, a thing then totally unknown. The legislature could never have contemplated a measure so cruel, unjust, and oppressive, and which could never be put in execution without placing an excise officer in every house ; nor is it, under the present liberal aud enlightened Govern- ment, likely to be enforced, even had such a prohibi- tion existed. I am happy to have it in my power to slate, that one of the highest and best informed officers of tlie revenue in Scotland agrees entirely in this opinion. It is not Ihe surplus only of the potato crop that may he converted into flour, and be thus preserved from destruction, but even the whole, except the seed, may be thus treated. In consequence of the great increase of produce, the extent of land required for cultivation vvill be so small, that pasture must be much increased, and animal food will also become very abundant. The Highlands, which are at present over- peopled, vvill be able to support many times ihe inhabitants which they now possess, and in much greater comfort, and the same may be said of Ireland. If Henry the Great prayed that he might see every peasant have a fowl to dinner on a Sunday, how gratifying must it be to our benevo- lent and beloved Sovereign to reflect, that the poorest man in his vust empire, may now enjoy what is better than a fowl every day in the year. Potatoes will grow- in every soil and in every climate, and the same land will produce undiminished crops of them successively for any length of time. Corn must be thrashed, fanned", kiln- dried, ground, and sifted, ali of them tedious, laborious, and some of them very expensive operations; it is also frequently injured by wind and by rain, after it is ripe; but we have merely to wash the potatoes, mash them down by a few turns of the barrel, then filter the pulp through any convenient strainer, and in three or four hours afler the root is dug from the ground it is fit for food ; though for keeping it must be made perfectly dry. I am aware that the plan of converting potatoes into flour has been suggested before ; but 1 strongly snspeel that the simplicity and ease with which il can be carried into effect, aud the great advantages it holds out, especially as a means of storing the surplus of an abundant crop, have not heen at all understood. It is not from a few slight trials, but after some years of observation and inquiry, that 1 find myself authorized to speak so decidedly in its favour. * In the year 1800 an acre of land in Fife produced 80 bolls, or 320 barrels of potatoes. + Eighty bolls of this flour, which an acre vvill produce, if sold as Arrow- root at 2s. per pound, will amount to £ 1,120. The religions anticks of the time are most strange. We read in the London papers of a meeting of an aged pilgrims' society, when, after some shew of business, the company sat down to a religious tea and coffee drinking. Query : How is tea or coffee drunk religiously? Lord Manners retired from the Chancellorship of Ireland on the 30th ult.

Charles' Dupin, in his new wort, entiled Pro- ductive and C& mmerciat Forces in France, alludes to a singular diminution in the height of the French, which has taken place since tbe revolution1. Accord- ing to tbe returns presented to ffre chambers in 1826, by the minister of war, if seerfos, that' out of 1,033,422 youths^ who appeared before the councils of revision, there were 380,213 rejected, IVeeause ihey did not even reach the low stature of f( i> ur feet ten inches,* French measure ( five feet one inch and four- fifths of an inch, English). This curious fact led him lo examine the cause of this diminution' in size of the French race, which he states lo be the wars of the revolution, because they cut down more particularly the virile part of fhe population; and also to the inferior food made use of by tlie working chrsses. One of the most singular and im porta ht d iscoveries in the science of medicine has been made in the casj* of Robei t Edmonds* of Hintou St. George. Edmonds, who had been confined 15 months through indisposi- tion, suffered, the greater part of the time, intense pain on the left side of the stomach. Several of the faculty, in tbe course of this lime, administered anti- dotes, in accordance with the supposed symptoms, but without relief. The case being of a singular character, they probably mistook it, which led to a failure of the re met lies. About a fortnight since, Mr. May, who has just commenced a medical practice at Hiuton, was at length called to the case of Edmonds, who was given over, and on carefully examining the anterior region of pain, he perceived a motion, or rising, from within. He adopted a different course of treatment, and the result was, the dislodgmcnt of two insects from the stomach, resembling lobsters, one of which is nearly two inches in length, and so com- pletely supplied with feet, that it is supposed to be fhe centipede. Edmonds is in a very weak slate, but some hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mr. May still continues to supply the remedies prescribed for t'Fteir removal, being confident there are many more on the coat of the stomach. Those already discharged are preserved, and at present may be seen al Mr. V^ aller Gaipin's, chemist, Crewkern.— Dorset Chron. ABfcOLOtlONS AND IN D U LG EN 01 ES.— A few years since, the present Sir John Bourke, of Glinsk, Barf, travelled with his new- married lady and estab- lishment to Rome, not solely for his pleasure, but, as an Irish Catholic, to pay his respects to the Pope, kiss his lloline8s's toe, and purchase antiquities. The late Sir F. Gould,- then at Paris, requested Sir John, ( before him,) that, as he fancied he felt himself in a declining state of health, and mialrfe to travel so far as Rome, he ( Sir John) Would take the proper steps, through Car- dinal Gonsaivi, to procure from his holiness a bull of plenary absolution, ami, if possible, an indulgence also ; adding, that Sir Jrohn . might hint to the Cardinal lhat lie intended to bequeath a good deal of his pro perty amongst the clergy. Sir John undertook tin matter, proceeded to Rrome, saw the Cardinal, and, as far as the absolution went, succeeded', tie vvas himself created " Marehese de Bou- rke of the Roman Empire, 1 and a bull was duly inadi? out for Sir Francis Gould, at very considerable expense. S i r1 Jo hit deceived also a couple of blessed candles, six feet Ibngy tb Htf'rn w hilst fhe bull vvas being read. Its express ternVs and condi- tions, however, were, 44 Provided the penitent,.- Sir Francis Gould, should notj voluntarily commit the same sins now forgiven;" ( which list included neatly ail the sins the Cardinal could think of!) in the other case,- the forgiveness would he void, and ihe two sets of sins come slap upon the soul of Sir Francis at once, no doubt with compound interest ; and which nothing hnf severe penance, some hundred full masses, and a great deal of mass- money, vvould ever be able to bring him through. Sir John having brought home the bull, magnificently enclosed, and sewed up in a silk bag officially sealed by tbe Cardinal, informed Sir Francis ( as we were all at dinner together at Bourke's hotel) that he had that day unpacked his luggage, had the Pope's bull perfectly safe, and would hand it to him instantly. Sir Francis asked its exact purport. 44 I have had two others," said he, 44 but they are null, for I sinned again, and so can't depend upon them." Sir John informed him of the purport, so far as his Latin went ; when Sir Francis calmly said, 4* My dear Bottrke, don't give me the bull yet aivhile ; ils opera- tion, 1 find, is only retrospective, and does not aflect sins committed after its delivery ; why did you not bring me one that would answer always?" 44 Such a one would cost a d d deal more," replied Sir John. 44 Well, then," said Sir Francis, 44 send it to me in about ten days or a fortnight— not sooner; it will answer then pretty well, as 1 am about taking away a beautiful young creature, my landlady's daughter, next week, and I should have that sin to answer for, if you gave me the bull before I had her clean out of Paris !" He kept his word, took off the girl, then got the absolution ; and in a very short time the poor fellow was afforded by death an opportunity of trying its efficacy.— Sir Jonah Harringtons Personal Narrative of his Own Times. THE SPINE.— What a fine piece of mechanism is the Spine ! Through this gracefully curved column runs a canal for the transmission of spinal marrow, the source whence a great number of nerves are derived. Should this nervous mass be pressed upon, palsy of all parts below tbe injury would be the immediate consequence; and yet it is necessary that the bony column containing this important structure should move very extensively. At first sight, it Would appear, that the motions of the spine would necessarily compress the nervous cord contained within it; but this, we know, is not the case; for the spine, instead of being formed of a single bone, is constituted ofa great number, which are so placcd and joined together as to admit of but little move- ment between any two of I hem, although collectedly their motion is very extensive. By this admirable arrangement, the spinal marrow is defended from injury, while the motions ofthe vertebral column are far from being confined. It may be marked here, that the position and ihe connexion of all the bones are such, that every variety of motion is effected with the most perfect case; and so great is the wisdom of tbeir arrangement, that the most complicated move- ments are hourly performed without risking their displacement or injury. The power by which these motions are produced is supplied by the muscles, which are, in fact, the active agents of every species of movement which we exercise. These are, again, so beautifully arranged, as to accord, in every respect, with the functions of the bony fulcra, to which they are attached. Their strength is immense while endued with vitality, as is proved in the well- known case of Damian, who vvas executed for attempting to assas- sinate Louis XV. Four young horses were fixed to his legs and arms, and were urged to their utmost strength in order to separate his limbs. These efforts, which were continued for the space of 50 minutes, were not sufficient to overcome the resistance of the muscles, and it was not until these had been divided by the executioners, that the horrid sentence of dismemberment could be carried into effect.— New Literary Gazette. At the Oxford Assizes, on Saturday, a case was tried— The Mayor and Corporation of Oxford v. ferriday.— This was an action brought by the plaintiffs to recover from the defendant nominal damages for evading the rights of tbe citizens of Oxford, by trading wilhin the limits, contrary to the various charters from the reign of Henry I. which limited the right of trading to free citizens, the widows of citizens, and ( by a custom since obtained) to persons matriculated by the University. The defendant, who is an extensive manufacturer of china and delf in Staffordshire, had come to Oxford and sold a considerable quantity of china.— The jury gave the corporation a verdict, to the great joy of the citizens.

GRAND CANAL FROTH LONDON TO PORTSMOUTH. — Considerable interest is, at this moment, taken by a Committee of Gentlemen, provisionally appointed, with Ihe monied interest of London, a'tkl some of the great Chartered Companies, to bring into effect a Canal from Portsmouth to Loudon, of the most gigantic proportions. It isvsuggested fo make it a national undertaking, and to pay the expense of its Construction by an issue of four per cent. Exchequer Bills, and five per cent. Canal Debentures, the latter to be paid off in 15 yeartf. The necessity of the measure, it is stated, is absolute,; as in the event of war w ith France, the Port of London would be effectually blocked np from all communication with the British Channel,' the whole space between the Isle of Wight and the Forelands being so exposed; fo the French ports, that no vigilance on the part of our Navy could save our merchant shipping and coasters from the activity of small 44 armed steam- vessels." ft is stated also, that three millions of property were captured on the same passage by the French, in the last vrar^ The present plan is a suggestion of Mr. N;. W. Ciindy^ snp ported by the opinions of Messrs. Rennie, Giles, Elms, and Meats. The Canal will be only 74 miles from Portsmouth Harbour fo the Thames at Rotfrerhithe; ii will always have 28: feet in depth of water, and be 150 feet wide ; will require only four locks, as the summit level, on Epsom Common, vvill not exceed 140 feet, and the deepest cutting will he 130 feet. The locks are to be 300 leet long each, and' 64 feet broad. Mr. Cundy has issued three reports,- With the form of a Petition to his Majesty's Treasury, and the frame of an Act of Parliament, the w hole of which documents are dedicated to Alexander Baring, Esq. who has promised ihe measure his personal attention and support; and who, at a Meeting at Lincoln's- Inn- Fields, declared, thai 44 the importance of the subject is obvious, whether con- sidered in a national or domestic point of view, or what- ever may be the cost." It is proposed that the Canal commence with two branches, at Rb. therhilhe, nearly Opposite the London and West- India Docks, near the Victualling Office, and proceed thence, in a South- west direction, to Walworth Common, by the foot of Brixton- Itill to Strealbam Common; thence to Chichester, South- sea Common, and Spithead. The general estimate states the expense under four millions, . of which £ 3,255,420 vvould be paid to labourers for cutting, £ 474,000 to tradesmen, and £ 250,000 for purchase of land. We pass over all the calculations of a return of income, remarking only that a vessel of l00 tons would have to pay £ 35 for passing throngh the Canal. It is stated, that ihe expense of Government, in the land cariiage of stores, & c. to Portsmouth, last wary ex- ceeded £ 200,000 a- year. The journey through to be 1' 4 hours, ami to be effected by steam- vessels, the use of which will-, of necessity, reqnire that the Canal should be faced with brick or stone the Whole way! Mr. Cundy says, he lias received the greatest encouragement from all classes to proceed, and pledges himself to bring it forward early in the next Session of Parliament.— Harnpshir e 7 elegraph. New Remedy for Inflammable Gas of Coat- Mines. — Although ihe use of ibe safety- lamp affords tolerable security against the 44 fire damp" or carburetted hydrogen gas prevailing in most collieries,- yet the unfortunate labourers cannot be prevailed on to adopt its use generally, many accidents having taken place in the northern collieries and in Wales during Ihe last six months. We are therefore gratified to hear that the chloride of lime, which has been found so efficacious in destroying putrid miasma and animal effluvia in general, is equally efficacious iu destroying the inflammable gas of coal- pits. A' gentleman of the name of Fincham read an interesting paper on this subject before the Royal Society, at a late sitting; and he is still pursuing his experiments on a more extended scale, so as to render Ihe process sufficiently economical for its adoption by coal- owneis. So far as this liquid was tried in different parts of a colliery, known lo be greatly infested with inflammable gas, it was perfectly satisfactory in pre- venting explosion.— Literary Chronicle.

About a fortnight ago, while Captain Russel and his servant were training their dogs on Lord Stair's grounds, in the neighbourhood of Ballantrae, one of the pointers set at a grouse. Captain R. of course, kept his eye on the dog, and while moving onwards, vvas surprised to see him first start back and then apparently snap at something. But his surprise was very much increased when, on reaching the spot, he observed a very large adder, in the attitude of giving battle to the dog, and which only retreated when he and his servant came in sight. The pointer commenced licking one of his legs, and it was soon evident that a wound had been inflicted. Though bit iu the extremities, the poison entered the circulation so speedily that his whole frame became violently convulsed. The servant carried him home in his arms, and though nursed with the greatest care for a fortnight, he is only at this moment gradually recovering. Captain Russel determined to be upsides, if possible, with the adder, and with this view provided himself with a cleft- stick the next time he ascended the heights of Ballantrae. After a little search he discovered the reptile lurking pretty near its old den, seized it by the middle and held it up in the air, while his servant lashed it smartly with a switch. While thus assailed, the reptile coiled and actually wounded its own tail, and Captain R. being curious to know the result, desired his servant immediately to desist. He did so, and in less than a quarter of an hour the adder swelled to a great size, to all appearance from having absorbed a portion of that poison which, though perfectly harmless when concealed within its tusk, is attended with very different effects when communicated to any other part of his own body. The reptile, when killed, measured 4 feet 1 inch, and was in other respects one of the largest adders ever seen on the coast of Ayrshire.

RETRENCHMENT— The " leading journal of Eui. rope," and of Printing- house square, has, Within the last few days, been indulging in vari'ons pertinent reflections on the subject of retrenchment. We are afraid The Times is an injudicious friend, if not a dangerous partisan.— The Ministers, says the leadi-' rig journal," have resolved to effect a reduction in tlitf public expenditure of about a million and half. To accomplish this, the army, we are told, is to be re- duced, and various other reductions, and superannir-' a I i oils in the public offices, are lo be completed. We are not surprised al seeing these statements put forth. They are littitfs to catch gulls. The system thut is pursuing is a system of gross deception, and this is one of the expedients which are employed to hoodwink, entrap, and pacify ihe British public. It is a notorious fact, that ever since the accession of the present Ministry to office, nnd the adoption of those measures which are called liberal, the expenditure of the country ha* been increasing, and its revenue decreasing, if facts demonstrate any thing— if the inductions of mathematics be not absurd — if frgilres he not delusive, this simple and indubitable facl proves that the concerns of the country have been mismanaged — that our Iradt has declined, and the comforts of the people diminish- ed, under the liberal system. When the Budget was recently brought before Parliament, the Minister quoted and' referred to the following parliamentary document. It was laid before Parliament iir the begin- ning of last June, and purports lo be a net account of the revenue and expenditure of Great Britain ond Ireland in the under- mentioned years : REVENUE. KXrtsmfCRB. . £ 57,67- 2,999 £ 50,962,014 . 59,362,493 52,774,600 ,. 57,273,869 51,6- 20,027 . 64,894,989 53,880,511 This expenditure is exclusive of the sum appropriated, or which otlght to be appropriated, to the reduction of the national debt. It will here 5' e seen, that while,, since 1824, our expenditure has increased nearly three millions,, onr revenue has fallen oft' more than three millions. Afler Ihe nation has suffered, in the slioit period of four years, more real distress than it bad suffered for twenty years before— after we have insult- ed almost tfvery state of Europe— after we have inter- fered iii' every dispute where the subject has been arrayed against Ilie Sovereign— after w'e have formed new compacts which have only involved ns in fresh difficulties— after we have lent our riioney to swindlers, excited the hopes'of the disaffected at home, and given a free license to the mechanics of the country to disturb the public peace and endanger the security of property — now that we are the prev of gamblers and specu- lators, we are virtually told that all mir improved poticy has failed, and lhat we must reduce our army when we are upon the eve of a war, dismantle our ships wheu their services are about lo be required, and diulini. li our expenditure when- its i lie reuse is unavoidable f—— Watchman. 1824 1825 1826 18- 27 LIRE ot THEOBALD WOLFE TONE.— From ths lasl Quarterly Review.— The story of Mr. Tone is one which, we think, may very safely be left to speak for itself; the facts in it are few, simple, tangible, and we have rarely read the narrative ofa life at all remarkable in which circumstances seemed to have done so much, and principle or talent so little. This is not the hisfory of a high minil perplexed by the working of noble passions : vanity, so overweening,' never before exhibited the naked meanness of plebeian ambition. Denied by nature that genius which can sometimes dispense with industry, aud far too idle to arm himself with any acquirements of solid value, this headstrong boy chose to marry a pretty girl before he had one shilling to buy her bread, and therefore began the world under the pressure of difficulties which he possessed no legitimate means to overcome. His professional career was, even in his own eyes, hope- less from the commencement; without toil no raaa can be a lawyer; and, though not too proud to beg, Mr. Tone was too lazy to work. The alms of youthful associates were soon exhausted ; magazine articles and trashy novels might do something, but not much; and this stripling son of a Dublin' coach maker was at once convinced that nature bad destined and fitted him for polities. Rejected by the minister, he vowed revenge, and threw himself at the feet of the opposition ; fed, but not pampered by them, he vowed revenge again, and entered af once per saltum upon the career of treason. What had he to complain of but his own unruly passions and obstinate scorn of labour? If cither the dissenters of Ireland, or the Roman Catholics of Ireland, had reason to rise agahisf the government under which they lived, had they no spirit to animate and guide them ? Who committed their interests to the keeping of a nominally Protestant,, bat really infidel', barrister of two and twenty^ strutting briefless in the hall ofthe four courts? In one passage of his diary, which we have already quoted, he says himself, ' This is no light matter;' yet how little room, amidst the fever of his vain dreams, does he seem to have found for such reflections ! To seize the pfivate property of thousands who had never done injury to him, whose only sin was, that they happened to be contented with the government under which they had been born,— to burn cities, and deluge kingdoms wilh blood,— these were steps to the hotel d' Irlanie, or some equally delightful elevation, which fhi » philanthropist could contemplate with seavcely, to all appearance, one passing twinge erf seff- distrust. He paid for his rashness the penalty of an early death, and we have no wish to trample on bis grave. But we must be permitted to remind the editor ef this book, who writes as if he had the most pure and spotless of heroes for his subject, that Mr. Tone's treason cost many lives besides bis own. Upon his memory, and the memory of those of hi* co- agitators who are now no more, there lies, and must continue to lie, a heavy burden; aud, if any who participated in all the darkness of his guilt be yet alive, we do uot envy the feelings with which, provided they be possessed of any good qualities whatever, such men must look back to one of the most melancholy pages of our modern history. It is, indeed, no light matter to stir up a rude, uncivilized peasantry, and array them in battle, upon pretences of which they are entirely incapable of judging, against men who, as men, cannot even be said to have done them any harm ; it is no light matter to create a Jacquerie; and we should not think it a light matter to have upon our conscience any part of the Irish, or the French, or even of the English blood whieh Mr. Tone and his friends caused to b « shed in the hope of raising themselves to be am bassadors. At Ihe Lincoln Assizes, three plaintiffs recovered damages from the proprietors of I lie Graham steam - vessel, for bodily injuries which they sustained by the explosion of Ihe vessel's boiler. The verdicts were respectively £' 138, £ 75, and £ 80, exclusive of the costs. THE JOCKEY CLUD— At the Cambridge Assizes the Duke uf Portland brought an action against J. Hawkins, F. sq. for a trespass on the grounds of the noble plaintiff upon the Newmaiket race course. It appeared, that Mr. Haw kins having used unbecoming language to Lord Wiiarncliffc on the race course, for what he considered au unjust decision of the Jockey Club in a disputed bet willi that gentleman aud A Mr. Ellis, Mr. Hawkins was warned off the course; but the defendant still persisting to attend the course, the present action was brought to try the right ill question. Il was proved hy many witnesses that the course belonged lo the Jockey Club since tbe year 1753, and the Jury returned a verdict for the noble plaintiff.— damages Is. which establishes the right of the Club to warn off the ground where the races are held.
