THE ORIGINAL ARID ONLY GENUINE WIDOW WELCH'S PILLS. ^| PHIS Medicine is justly celebrated for all JL Female Complaints, Nervous Disorders, Weak- ness of the Solids, Loss of Appetite, Impurity of Blood, Relaxation by intense Heat in warm Climates, Sick Head- Ache, Indigestion, Debility, Consumption, Low.- ness of Spirits, and particularly for all Obstructions in the Female System.

Imposture Unmasked. ^ IPH E progress of Merit, though frequently J1L assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; arid conscious rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object— public approbation. The test of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has estab- lished WARREN's BLACKING in general estimation, of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious pre- paration as the genuine article, to the great disappoint- ment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of WARREN, whose Character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION THE PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who having no character to lose, and stimu- lated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour! The original and matchless BLACKING bears oueach bottle a short direction, with the signa- ture, Robert Warren. All others are counterfeits ; and in many instances the imposition labels are artfully interlined with a different address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base fabrications of WARREN's BLACKING to return the detected trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of ras- cality to merited obloquy. WARREN's BLACKING is surpassingly brilliant ; — it excludes damp; gives pliancy to the leather; re- tains its pristine virtue in all climates; and, combining elegance wiih comfort, is an article equally of indis- pensable fashion and utility. Sold hy every respectable Vender in Town and Country, in bottles at 6d. lOd. 12d. and 18d. each. Also, Paste Blacking, in Pots, 6d. 12d. and 18d. each. A Shilling Pot of Paste is equal to Four Is.

The conclnsion of Ihe peace with Buenos Ay res relieves him fi> m all anxieties io that quarter, and allows him full leisure to attend to the state of his ancient family dominions,, connected with the se- curity of his daughter's title. Ao express IVom Paris on Saturday morning brought a statement that ( he Spanish Minister of Police, who has been dismissed, uas delected in Correspondence with the rebels in Catalonia, the ultra- Church party. The best understanding, it is mentioned, continues between' France and England respecting the affairs of the Peninsula.— The province of Catalonia, after four yeniS of the French occupation of Spain, is said to he nearly in the same state of ferment aud insurrection in- which it was previously to the French invasion, which the anarchy of Spain, as it was called, was adduced to justify. Paris papers have heen received to the 2lst inst. The advices from Turkey by this conveyance coil finite to speak 0/. the formidable exertions, making by the Ottoman Porte to- repet any hostile attempt III at may be meditated against the Turkish terri- tories. The number of men already assembled at Constantinople is estimated at 150,000 ; and the Grand Signior expects this force to be shortly in- creased to 600,000. The diplomatic ministry of England, Russia, France, Austria', and Prussia, are mentioned as holding frequent meetings-. It is staled, in a very marked manner, that fhe first Austrian Dragoman had " almost daily conferences with the Turkish Ministers." Gibraltar papers to the 3d! iiist*. state that the Algerines had captnrcd two French vessels from Marseilles, one bound to Gibraltar and the other to Martinique, the latter of great value. The accounts from the Barbary coast state, that active prepara- tions continue to be made at Algiers to receive the French. The number of troops'summoned from the iuterior is estimated from 30,000 Co 50,000. German papers to the 10th iust. have reached town this morning. The Austrian- Observer of ( he 15th inst. affirms that the ravages of the plague in Syria have been frightful. At A- I'eppo and Da- mascus the inhuitauts have perished to the number of a thousand a- day. Accounts from Alexandria mention that the squadron which sailed from that • port 011 the 17th June against Lord Coclugrie, re- turned nn the 8th of July, ft pursued fhe Greek squadron to the distance of 90 miles north ol the port, but while, the Egyptians were preparing for all attack, the Greeks sailed away under cover ofthe night, towards Sancos. Hamburgh Papers of Sunday filing intelligence of the destruction of a great pail of Jassy, the capital ol Moldavia, hv fire, which broke out in a house near ihc Russian" Consulateand, as Ihe city is chiefly built of wood, the flames spread rapidly. About 800 houses, including the palace of the Hospodar, the pub- lic offices, Ihe archives, Ihe palaces of the Boyars Roz. iiowan, Gh- ka, Palladi, KalimaV- hi, & c. 15 churches, one of which is the Cathedral, and the Catholic cou- \ Vut, soon became the prey of Ihe devouring clement. The damage is stated lo be immense. The main Street which leads to the palace of the Hospodar was completely enveloped in ( lames ; and as the streets are not paved with stone but with deals, that kind of causeway took fire as well as Ihe houses, and thus the escape of many who tried lo save some of ( heir pto- perly was rendered impossible. Fifty bodies had been dug out of Ihe ruins. The Prince and his family escaped with difficulty. The Catholic Missionaries saved themselves by climbing over a high wall, and have Install their property. More ( ban 10,000 of the population arc without any place of shelter. Iu Ihe midst of Ihe disaster, it was found necessary lo sel at liberty a number of criminals, as the flames bail reached their prison. The malefactors, with otheis who joined them, created a new alarm, by attempting to plunder a pari of lite town which the tire had not destroyed. What the result would be, must be left to conjecture, for the account ends thus—" At ( he moment of closing this letter, a part of the city is again in Haines."

Every hour more dead bodies are. dug out of the ruins. The? damage is far ore considerable than that which this tin fortunate ly sustained by; the fire in 1821. At that, time the greater part o. f the inhabitants were absent iu conse- quence of the disturbances in the principalities, the Houses" and shops were nearly empty, and, besides, the handsomest and most populous part of the city escaped, which has now been destroyed, Almost all the well- stocked warehouses, tfie principal palaces, and the finest churches are consumed." It. is a sight, appalling beyond all description, a tract of half a league in ex- tent is covered with immense still smoking heaps of ruins, and the streets and squares are strewed with the corpses of the many persons who have perished, and ofthe burnt domestic animals, which, in this very hot season, infect the air. These horrors are enhanced hy bands of prowling wretches, who have already at- tempted to set fire to the town in several places, and the safety of the remaining part of the city is owing only to the patriots that have been Organized during the last three days, in which the subjects of Austria have particularly distinguished themselves.

By accounts from Madrid to the 14th ilist, wc are informed that the couriers from Catalonia succeeded oach other with great rapidity, and that the intelligence they brought was more and more disastrous. The insurgents in this province are estimated at six thousand artned men, and a regular government has beeu organized among tbe members, of which are many persons who formed a part of the ancient regency of Urgel, aud tbe police had received information that the Presidency of this government had been reserved for the Marquis of Mataflorida. General Billement, who had left Barcelona in pursuit of the rebels, had been com- pelled to return to that place, having been deserted iiy the Royalist volunteers, who formed the chief part of the force he had with him. Great fears were entertained in the capital for other provinces; and Merino, the priest who appeared disposed' to • agitate disturbances in Castillo, had been ordered to Madrid, and placed under the surveillance of the police. All the ministers, with the exception of M. Calo- inarde, had given iu their resignations, which the King had not accepted. The inspector- general of the provincial militia bad received orders to put under arms six regiments of militia, who were to join the army of observation, to replace the six thousand men who had left for Catalonia. Other accounts of the same date from Madrid confirm the intelligence of the increasing importance of the insurgent cause in Catatonia. Detachments of Royalist volunteers from all parts of tbe province repaired to the camp ofthe insurgents. Don Carlos had published a manifesto, in which he exprcs. es highly his displeasure at Ihe intrigues of the faction who have made his name tbe means of disturbing the tranquillity of tbe kingdom. The army of observation appears to be in a very bad state, being badly fed, clothed, and equipped; and more than four thousand of the troops were sick.

Tbe Denbighshire Greal Sessions commenced on Wednesday last, at Ruthin.— On Thursday, the Chief Justice ( Warren)-, in charging the Grand Jury, said, that happily the state ofthe calendar did not call for any particular observation on his part. There was, however, a subject on which he would say a few winds, which he should merely throw out for the con- sideration of the Grand Jury. It was probably known to most of thein, that Bangor Bridge was iu a very dangerous state. His Lordship understood that oue half of the liability to repair it attached to the county of Denbigh, aud the other to the county of Flint. An indictment would be preferred against the inhabitants of the latter county, al the ensuing Mold Assizes ; and unless something were done to the Denbighshire side, it was probable that indictments would be preferred against tbe inhabitants of that county also. All his lordship wished to impress upou tbe Grand Jury, as magistrates ofthe county, was, that something should he done to prevent the continuance of such a state of things. Sir Watkin VV. Wynn assured hi? lordship that the matter had already been the subject of much discussion between the magistracy of both counties. The Flint- shire gentlemen were for having a new bridge of stone, at an expense of between £ 5000 and £ 6000 ; while the Denbighshire gentlemen were ofoipiiion that tbe pre- sent structure would answer every useful purpose, after being widened by tbe application of iron railing, at an expense of less than £ 2000; and, considering the already very heavy burdens that pressed upon tbe county, they did not think themselves justified iu in- creasing those burdens by the expense of an unneces- sary new bridge. There was, besides, a case decided iu the Court of King's Bench, w ith which no doubt iheir lordships were familiar, in which it had beeu held hy Lord Tenterdeti that the mere narrowness ofa bridge is not, of itself, a sufficient ground for an indict- ment. The Grand Jury then retired, and soon after came into Court with true bills iu the only two cases submitted to their consideration. Sir Watkin then reported- it to be the opinion of the Grand Jury that it was not expedient to build a new bridge at Bapgor, by which an expense of £ 6000 would be incurred, while the widening by iron railing, sufficient for every useful purpose, could be accomplished for £ 2000. The worthy Bart, also directed the attention of their Lord- ships io the case above alluded to, a report of which was handed up to the bench. The CHIEF JUSTICE.—" Gentlemen, Iain perfectly well acquainted with the case you mention, aud witli the opinion of Lord Teuterden on file subject. I also perfectly well remember the opinion of Lord Keuyon, which is directly the reverse, and wliich is several years older. I did not wish to eater into any discus- sion of the law on Ihe subject. ! told you, because 1 was requested to do so, that the bridge is in this dangerous state, anil it is quite clear something must be done by some parties or other to remedy it. Tbe county of Flint will be indicted for their share of the liability at tbe Mold assizes ; and no doubt similar indictments will be preferred against both counties until the inconvenience shall have been remedied. If the bridge is a carriage- way, it must be widened, if necessary, to suit modern carriages.'' 1— The subject here dropped. William Evans nnd Thomas Jones, for stealing a quantity of cheese from the cheese- room of Mr. W. Phillips, of Borras Hall, in the parish of Gresford, were sentenced to seven years' transportation — Win. Jones, for robbing Mr. John Mitchell, of Rhosnestiy, in the parish of Wrexham, had judgment of death recorded against liitn.— John Simon, for an aggravated assault oil Mr. Benjamin Roberts, was sentenced tn be imprisoned 12 months, and at the expiration of that time to enter into sureties, himself in £ 200, lo keep the peace for seven years. On Friday, the important cpwt. " One, on the demise of Hint and others, i frsqs fi/. n.- ie," came on for trial" before a special jjury.— ft is the same case, only in number form, wiifi that of " H/ uir versus Wynne," tried at Shrewsbury hist year, and in which the defendant then obtained a verdict.-^ The question at issue is, whether a certain extensive tract of unen- closed mountain laud, in all about 1000 acres, situate within the manor of Hiraethog, in the county of Denbigh, is the property of the plaintiff, Mr. Blair, of Uttoxeter, as bis soil aud freehold, or whether Ihe soil and freehold thereof is the property of C. W. G. Wynne, Esq. Lord of the Manor of Iliiaethog, subject only lo the plaintiff's right of common thereon. The cause was not expected to terminate until a late hour yesterday evening.

Gcner;: l Foy, ill Iiis Notices of the English Character, observes that the custom for a. long time in France was to rate the soldiers of England very low ; ami lhat when any one adverted lo the victories of Agincourt, I'oicticrs, or Cressy, the answer always was— that the armies of Edward 111. and Henry V. were composed of N01 mails, of the people of Poitou, and of, Gascons. The General himself rather repudiates this solution of our victories in its fullest extern ; saying,' that " for all lhat, there were unioug theeoiiqucrorsa goodly number of native Englishmen, and certainly " the blows which they etruck Were not the weakest," & c. & c. ; but we believe the real evidence in our favour goes farther than even that. " Purity of blood," with us personally, is so far from ranking among the most exalted of human advantages, 1 hat wc should almost regret to deprive our neighbours of France of the satisfaction of supposing till Ihe power we possess (* o that we do possess it and go on to possess it) their gift ; but it is rather a curious fact, that in the " Roll of the Peers, Knights, and men at amis, who were at Agincuurt," extracted from the Harleian iYISS., and recently published in the work of Mr. Nicholas, instead of the majority of the names being Norman or Gascon, scarcely a name of French or Norman origin is to be found.

In consequence of the mistake of one of our contemporaries, an erroneous idea has prevailed that the Court of King's Bench has decided that grouse are not g'ame. This is uot so—~ the decision wasthis— in a case in which the Duke of Devonshire was a party, it was held lhat grouse are not " birds of warren," vvithin the meaning of a royal grant of | free warren— but this does not make them less game than they were before. By the ancient forest laws, our kings had a power ( now happily no longer exercised) of granting to any of their subjectSj usually some great nobleman, a right of free chase, or free warren over a certain large tract of country— and where this has been granted* no other person has the right of either hunting, or of killing " birds or beasts of warren," in any place over which this feudal right extends, without the leave of the king's g- rantee— and as the king's grantee may have a right of free warren over lands of which he is not the owner, it may happen that a gentlei'nan may have an estate often thousand a- year, and yet not have the right of coursing a hare, or shooting a partridge on his own estate, without being liable to actipns for damages, at the suit of some grantee of the crown, whose right of free warren tnay extend over every acre of his neigh- bour^, large estate. His Grace of Devonshire had a right of this soit, and it becoming a question whether a person had infringed upon it by shooting grouse, it was held in the Court of King's Bench that he had not, because grouse did not come within the description of birds of warren. However, persons who kiil grouse without being duly qualified in respect of estate, See. or without having . paid the game certificate duty, are1 liable to penalties precisely as they were before this de- cision. At Kilkenny Assizes, the conviction of a female culprit for the murder of a poor woman in the de- mesne of Mr. Bookcy, took place on Friday. But for the voluntary confession ofthe part she took in this abominable and cold- blooded atrocity, the case against her would have been one of merely circum- stanfkl evidence. The wretched woman's own admission of Vier crime, however, before Mr. Bookev, became decisive evidence. She held the right hand ofthe old woman ( Catherine Farrell,) while a man ofthe name of Pat Somers cut her throat, and the « irl whom Somers called his daughter held the left hand of the woman while the deed was perpe- trating. The only temptation to this murder was the little property in clothes and money which the deceased had then about her person- he appointment of the Duke of Wellington to the vffice of Commander- in- Chief, is officially announced in the Gazette of Friday. At Bodmin Assizes, Chief Justice E « Jst, in his charge to the Grand Jury, urged updn country gentlemen the paramount importance of their endea- vouring to infuse into the poorer classes a spirit of independence, and. an encouragement to husb'and fruits of their industry. As, a means of pro- ducing that salutary result, " he particularly dwelt upon the diffusion of weH- re& ulated Benefit Societies. i ( said he) these Societies are properly regulated, and sufficient payments made to leave a surplus to ! answer the needful purposes, these insfitutioiss will be attended with beneficial results, as well to the h as more humble classes. The poor man will feel something like independence and confidence in his situation, and rise into self- esteem : while the * ieh man will be relieved from the necessity of sup- porting him as a pauper. Vtfith respect to Savings* Banks, persons can, on short notice, sell out their ittle stock; . and. this facility of obtaining money, may be the means of fonfaing improper connexions and indulging in intoxication, so that the savings- of years may in a short time be dissipated. Neither of these objections can apply to Benefit Societies, because the prospect is not held out of again with- drawing the* money subscribed, but the grant or an annuity its case of accident or debility arising from age or infirmity. Against both of these, effectual protection is made, and at the same time the poor man acquires an interest in the State, in which he has something at stake, and becomes more closely united to his country by those feelings which are common to us all. Encouragements to institutions of this nature cannot be too strongly impressed upon the consideration of the county. We agree with Mr. Justice Best that no institu- tions are so well calculated to promote independence and comfort amongst- the lower orders as Benefit Societies property formed.— We earnestly call upon the Magistrates of this county to direct their atten- tion to this subject; it is one of great local as well as national- importance ; and w- e nave reason to be- lieve that most of the Societies fn this town, and many in the neighbourhood, are formed upon prin- eiplesthat must fail.— Surely this ought to be avoided in the formation of any future Society, especially as the most secure plan will require smaller annual payments. Tbe letters from Portugal are filled with specula- tions upon the probable fate of the respective parties of the liberals and serviles; conjectural narratives of real or imaginary plots; anticipations of the arrival of the Emperor from the Brazils, and contradictions of those anticipations* impeachments of tire Queen Regent, and defences of her Majesty; with a copious addition of vague and unprofitable dissertation upon political science.— Oue fact is worth a volume of such matter; and we have one or two facts sufficiently illustrative of the state of public feeling, and of the share which we hold in the affection of those whom, with truth, as well as by courtesy, we used to call u our faithful allies." The Regent, who it is known ( and felt, too, by those who pay the cost), required an. English army to protect her against the servile party among her subjects, is now under the necessity of surrounding herself with an English escort, to pro- tect her from the liberals! INCOMES OF THE CLERGY OF THE IRISH ESTA- BLISHED CHURCH.— By authentic returns, it ap- pears the aunual income of the Irish Protestant Church Establishment may be taken at £ 300,000. If we allow one- third of this as the income of the Bishops ( a fair proportion), we shall have £ 200,000 a- year to be divided amongst 1200 clergymen, leaving the average income of each about £ 1G0 a- year. We find in the sermon of Dr. Chalmers, on the occasion ofthe opening- of the chapel in London for Mr. Irving-, a passage which may be pertinently quoted by the side ofthe above statement of fact:— " We are aware," says Chalmers, 45 of a fashionable political economy, in this our day, which, for the sake of leaving untouched the splendour and luxury of our higher classes, would suffer the public functionaries to starve, and in opposition to which we affirm ( for we have not time to argue), that iu the progress both of lauded and of mercantile wealth, both the officers of religion and the officers of education have been left immeasurably too far behind in the career of an ad- vancing society. On this topic, we ( speaking for. his clerical order) make common cause with all other public functionaries, and in despite, of the popular outcry against it, we hold that from the highest. judges of the land to the humblest teacher of a village school, there ought, to be one g- reat and general augmentation, it being our first principle that every public function- ary should do his duty well, and our second, that every public functionary should be well paid for the doing of it." We heartily recommend these two, the fact stated in the first paragraph, aud the authority of the opinion iu the second, to the consideration of out- economists in church and state.

" PORTUGUESE MAN OF WAR."— There is description of the beautiful and extraordinary in- sect known by this name, in the last number of the North American Review, derived from a memoir of Dr. Tilosius, who accompanied M. de Krusenstern in his voyage round the world. This worm, be- tween six and eight inches in length, has seemingly the skill of an experienced navigator, and is itself a little ship. Its evolutions are according- to the winds; it raises aud lowers its s al, which is a membrane provided with elevating and depressing organs. When filled with air it is so light that it swims on the surface of alcohol, and is at the same time provided with a structure which furnishes it with necessary ballast. When high winds would endanger its existence, it descends into the deep From the under side of the body proceed tubes which extend twenty feet in length, and are so elastic and delicate, that they wind in a spiral form like a screw, serving at once as anchors, defensive and offensive weapons, pucunnatic tubes and feelers. The insect has the colours of the rainbow ; its crest, which performs the office of a sail, is intersected with pink and blue veins, trimmed with a rosy border, and swells with the winds, or at the ani- mal's pleasure. The fibres contain a viscous matter, which has the property of stinging like nettles, aud produces pustules. It acts So strongly that vessels in which they have been kept for a time must be repeatedly washed before they can bo used. These fibres may be cut off without depriving them or the rest of the insect of the principle of life; aud the separation takes place spontaneously, whenever the glutinous matter comes in contact with a hard surface, like the sides of A glass globe. The insect has, however, dangerous enemies in small dolphins and medusaej against which ne. ther its nautical skill nor its poison can defend iu OXFORD CIRCUIT.— At Hereford, where the business of the Assizes commenced ou Monday morning, Mr. Justice Littledale presided at MM Prius, and Mr. Baron Vaughau at the Crown Bar. There were 17 causes,, and 24 prisoners for tria , against seven of whom sentence of death was recorded, viz. Edward Browne, for stealing a lamb at Leominster; J. Jones, Jos. Farley, Jos. Robert- son, and Jas. R. ichardaon and Michael Daly, for house- breaking, the first at Withiagton,* the second at Lugwardlne, the third at Dricfetovv, and the two last at Sftobdon; aud John Mason, for maliciously wounding, with, intent to maim arid disable Joseph Fioyd.- rrT. Jon en. and Samuel Migginsj for stealing- a r.}{ eep at Penbritlge; Thomas Taylor, for stealing- a shgepat Linton; Wm.

D° dbury; Thomas Matthews, for house- breaking at Tii'ornbury j John Jones, for house breaking at Mow Capie; and Anne Maria Morgan, for knowingly, uttering a forged t' 5 Bank of' Eng- land, note, were severally sentenced to transportation for life.-— Richard Ball, James Frost, and Joseph Herriott, were ordered to he imprisoned ; Elizabeth Tailor, John. Finch, John Wilson, and Eliza Crump,- were acquitted.; and against William Metcalfe and Charles Allen no bills were found.— Tuesday, tho Nisi Prius Court was occupietl the whole morning trying an action for cutting dovvu an oak tree 150 years old. The only thing worth mentioning in the case was," that a question arose whether the tree was or was not on an estate called the Scatter- brain estate. The only case of interest was that of Blafteniore v. The Glamorganshire Canal Company, which was ;> remanet from the last assizes, and which came'on for trial. on Thursday. The question in the cause was whether the defendants, had or. had not diverted, used, and illegally appropriated fo themselves for life supply of their Canal cf jtnin waters, to the use of which the plaintiff, who is the proprietor uf some Iron Works on the River TafP,. in Glamorganshire, had the exclusive right. The defenec was. lhat the want of water of which the plaintiff complained was occasion- ed only by excessive drought in dry seasons, and not by any diversion of water on the part of the defend- ants.— The case, ufler occupying the Court Thursday^ Friday, a fid Saturday, was adjourned to Monday. WARWICK ASSIZES-. On Friday morning William Miller was fir reigned for tfie murder of Mary Ann Lane, otherwise Green- way, in Hanbury Fields, in the neighbourhood of Warwick. Mr. Serjeant Adams aud Mr. Goulburu were employed in the prosecution^ and Mv. Hill v$ as Counsel for the prisoner. It appeared in evidence that Miller had acknowledged tlie commission of the murder to four or five different persons^ but the* fullest account of the transaction he gave to a man ofthe name of Richard Bullock while iu confinement. The deceased, it will be recollected, was found drowned in a pit; and it seems,: from the prisoner's acknowledgment, as related by Mr. Bullock, that having overtaken her in a lane, on her way home, he walked with her across some fields. She resisted his attempts to take liberties with her and cried out. He tile n threw her down and she fainted. Hebe- came frightened he said, aud picked her up, carried, her to the pit and threw her in. Slid came to herself in the water, and was g- etting out, v* hen he threw her in again. In throwing, her in the last time she caught hold of him and pulled him into fhe pit with her, and lie was abotfe his middle in water. He then held her head under the water till she was dead. By the testimony of the surgeon who opened the body, it appeared that she had also suffered violence of another description.-— The prisoner upon being called upon for his defence sa! d, the witnesses had not told the truth. The Judge summed up, and the Jury, in one minute, found him Guilty. SenteuCe was then passed, and he was ordered to be hanged on Monday, and his body to be dissected.— Miller was a dark- complexioned man, with a forbidding countenance. He was much agitated while sentence was passed, and shed tears. The trial lasted seven hours. ADAMS V. MERRIDEW.—^^ Special Jury.— The plaintiff is H. C. Adams, Esq. one ofthe Magistrates of the county, and the defendant Mr.- Nathaniel Merridew, one of the Aldermen of the City of Coventry. The cause of action was, that defendant^ in July last, had published a handbillj containing u false and scandalous'libel upon the character of the plaintiff. The libel was the copy of an article that appeared first " m the Coventry Herald, and it accused the plaintiff of having, as Chairmau of the Finance Committee, expended £ 12,000 of the county money for the nominal purpose of erecting a house for the accommodation of the Judges, but in reality for the purpose of accommodating the Magistrates who attended the sessions, & c. it appeared that the Judges' house had beeu erected before Mr. Adams- had . been appointed chairman of the finance committee, and that, even in that capacity, he had no more controul over the county expenditure than any of the other magistrates. The defendant stated by evidence,, that although the names of Merridew and Son appeared as printers of the handbill, that he had. given up all interest in the concern in 1823, and that: his name had only remained in the firm as an accommodation to his son, and that he had nothing whatever to do with the printing either of the Herald or of the libel complained of by the plaintiff.— The Jury retired from the box for some hme, and, after deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ 25.—- The Court was excess- ively crowded during the whole ofthe trial. Doe dem. Sabin v. Walton and others. Special Jury.— This was an action of. ejectment, and taking the whole of the case together, it is, perhaps, as ex- traordinary a case as ever was brought into a Court of Justice.— Mr. Reader opened the pleadings, and Mj*. Den man stated the case to the Jury on the part of the plaintiff. The action was brought to obtain possession of certain estates of considerable value, situate ia Butler's MarstOn aud Lower Pillertou, Warwickshire, demised to defendants in 1816, by will, by Mr. William Greenway, a man of very weak intellect f » om his infancy. The testator died in 1820, and iu 1823, Sabin the plaintiff, who was heir at law, or next of kin, brought his action of ejectment against the present defendant, w- ho ob- tained a verdict. The cause was again tried in J S26, both times in this Court, when the present defendant also obtained another verdict in his favour. The plaintiff now brought forward a will, purporting to have been made by the testator in 1817, who lived then at Newbold, near Shipston. Catherine Sabin, daughter of Thomas Sabin, sard, that in the middle of last May, on removing an old bed, on which her. mother died, which had not been removed for a great number of years, she found, on a little shelf attached totfto back of tbe bedstead, a bit of cloth, which contained a paper. She could uot read it herself, but she took the paper to her brother's son's wife, who read it. The paper was sealed up when she found it, and was the will of fhe late Mr, William Greeuvvay ; the will was sent to the plaintiff's attorney. William Taunt, a sawyer and land- measurer, like- wise then living at Kidliugton, in the county of Oxford, said, that in I8r7 lie v\ as at Mr. Marsh- ill's, at Treddiugton, near Shipston, when he was asked to sig- u a paper ; he refused, be said, to sign any tiling except be knew what it. was, and when he read it over, it was the lute^ Mr. William Greenway's will, who was then present. Mr. Green way signed the will first and delivered it, saying, " this is mv last will and testament." William Marshall and James Hall then signed it, and the witness signed afterwards, Mr. Greenway said it was his intention that thejSabii. a of We. li. esbo'.! rue should have his freehold proper- v » Mr. Marshall then asked the witness to take the wi'it and deliver it to old Catherine. Sabiu, at Wellosbourut', which was within about seven miles of Warwick. Before he went, Mr. Marshall told him to tell Cathe- rine S'abin, it was Mr. William Green way's will, thai she was to' lake great care of it, and not to open it till after Mr. Green vay's death. Catherine Sabin, the wife of Thomas Sabin, of Wellesbourue-, was buried October 2 ), 1820, being eighty years old, and it was stated that she bad been attacked by palsy towards the latter part of her life, which had imp- aired her memory. Taunt was examined by Mr. Den man, and afterwards cross- examined at very great length by Mr. Serjeant Adams. On being re- examined by Mr Denman, he prevaricated so much that the learned Connr- el said, " my Lord, I think he ought to be called." Hie Court and the whole of the Counsel agreed hi. this proposition, and the plaintiff was called accordingly. The Judge— Let that witness be taken into custody. Mr. Clarke—- 4f your Lordship will commit him, . we will undertake to prosecute him for forgery. Jud^ e —! will commit him— The witness was then taken into custody, and conveyed to gaol, for trial ut the next Assizes. The will was then put into the pos- session ofthe marshal, by direction ofhis Lordship, — Plaintiff' nonsuited* Cambtfana. " 1 am na P.

W. M. LONDON, AUGUST 8,1827. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, ' The article in your late Journal respecting the Salmon Fisheries of Ihe Rivers Severn aud Vrrniew, promiseth as much as a new era lo the inhabitants ol Ihe waters, and a perfect revolution in Ihe fishing art. The enlightened and impartial legislator must rejoice at this event, as well as every reflecting and rational mail. That the said rivers al Ihe present day are a prey lo pirates, and iu a manner defenceless and waste, lo a degree unprecedented and uilparallelled in the history of the country, is obvious to every beholder, and a still further unpleasant and untoward effect is file general destruction, as fur as man can go, of one of the kingdoms of nature. Strange as the assertion may at firs! appear, had man waged war with ihe finny race, scarcely could he have prac- tised and devised plans more effectual and am pie to their annihilation and removal than those in perpetual use even in this quarter,— acting si ill on this dis- graceful maxim, that as the fish are diminished and retire, it is necessary to apply better theory and practiccy so as to preclude chances, overcome ob- stacles, and set aside the total provision of the lau\ nnd thus have the fisheries in these parts declined, from a wholesome and beneficial discharge of fish, to an unprofitable and unwise persecution aud destruc- tion of the race. In the graduated scale and economy of nature, the smaller ( which are here so lawlessly and incessantly pursued) are introduced as food for the larger fish, and these again becoming a prey to fish still larger than themselves on their advance lo the ocean, the superabundance or excess thereof is restrained to the just equilibrium maintained, whether mau becomes a party or not : ibis, I say, is nearly nature's plan and course, whereupon former Legislators framed iheir laws, which, thus equipoised and constructed, were serviceable both to nature and man : but not by ovcileaping ihe boundary, nor by tampering w ith or suffering infringement, pillage, monopoly, or usurpa. lion. Nor is it difficult lo prove how things come to the present pass, if, from what is advanced, it is not sufficiently apprehended. In a state of nature, rivers of wholesome waters will necessarily abound with fish, inasmuch as ihey form an integral part of creation, whose prolific powers and increase are greater than the decrease-, which whoever consults the natural historian or experience will confess. If, then, a river is well stored with fish by nature, ( and here I mean not with any one particular sort, bu( the species peculiar to the climate,) and the influx and ffflux maintain at least the complement of comple- tion, the art and power of man intercepting and acting upon any one link in the chain— say the salmon— must affect that species accoiding to his ability and succtss ; which species will consequently, and in like ratio or proportion, decline; whereupon the inferior tribes for a time also would increase, until liis necessity or inclination directed him thereunto, when in like manner they also would diminish, as he applied his new and multifarious means and measures in pursuit ; and thus would he, ns we see is the case, successively lay waste the whole kingdom hy subvert- ing and obstructing the order of nature, injuring the beds of rivers, erecting various weirs, destroying spawn aud fry, overthrowing the fence months, using illegal nets, practising night fishing, poisoning the waters, & c. & c. ( striving continually and conjointly), to the incalculable loss of human food, the depression of an innocent and healthy amusement, aud tlie great detriment of nature's work. Insomuch, then, as it must be admitted lhat the protection of the Fisheries is a measure loudly called for aud inviting, aud as it is a popular one, aud likely to be carried, it appears to me equally important, during the approaching winter and fence months, lo prevent the pillaging and pirating the rivers, in order to preserve the salmon fry and secure food for the salmon when let in, so that in a shorter period a great quantity of cheap and grateful food shall be abundantly introduced, without partiality, both lo rich and poor,— which injudicious management & contrivance have for a time prevented. I remain, Sir, Your very obedient servant, S. Salop, August 6th, 1827, are as much obnoxious to this charge as their governors ; or, at least, the dispositions of tlie people form an ex- cuse for the misconduct which may be imputed to their governors of the present day. Two things, therefore, are necessary. First, to give to the Government that spirit of exertion which ought to belong to governors ; and, secondly, to give to the people that character w hich shall render them readily obedient to Government for their own advantage. For this purpose, the people must he made sensible that such obedience is for their advantage. If a body of Irish adventurers should transport them- selves lo New South Wales, their first object would be the cultivation- of the soil ; and they would be sensible that Pheir prosperity depended on the enjoyment ofthe fruits of that cultivation ; that, for this purpose, all must submit to the controul of some government; and an Irish colony settled in New South Wales would probably be, generally, obedient to law, because all would be employed, all would enjoy the fruits of their industry, and all would be conscious that the protecU. m of the Government was necessary to that enjoyment. Rut is not ilie state of many parts of Ireland the rever. se of this ? A soil not cultivated as it ought to be; an abundant population not enjoying the lull fruits of industryantl therefore not industrious ; and a Govern- ment not affording to person or property that protection which it ought to afford. Is not, then, encouragement to the cultivation of the soil of Ireland the first step to improvement? Inde- pendent of the imperfect management of the land now cultivated, are there not three or four millions of acres of bog and mountain land capable of cultivation ? Are there not valuable minerals to be found ? But who wilj exert themselves to render these lands, and these irvinerals, productive of profit, without assurance of en- joying that profit? Who will expend capital on such improvements, unless confident of obtaining: ample re- ward ? and can that reward be insured in a country not obedient to law ?. To improve the condition of Ireland, its Government must be active in two ways, in a rigid, but just, execu- tion of the law \ and in active encouragement to indus- try, and particularly to that industry which is employed in the cultivation of the land. For this purpose capital is necessary, In the present miserable slate of the finances of the United Empire, to- advance money from the public purse for this purpose, may be deemed im- practicable. But would not such an advance be, in every sense of the word, just economy ? If Ireland ere reduced to just obedience to law, would not the expense now incurred to maintain imperfect order be reduced in full proportion to the interest to be paid on my sum of money. ad vanced for such improvement? Would not the profit arising from improvement soon re- pay the interest, and gradually the capital of a sum so idvaneed ?: If tbe country were once rendered perfectly obedient to law, would not English capital flow there, instead of being employed in the cultivation and im- provement of other countries? It is the apprehension of insecurity which deters English and Scotch farmers fiom migrating: to Ireland, and prevents British capital neraHy from flowing to Ireland, where, if security were certain, it would meet with ample reward. There are, however, unfortunate circumstances, in- dependent of Government, which retard the advance of Ireland in prosperity. The Catholic religion, as it is found in Ireland, has divided tbe people ofthe country into adverse parties; and is injurious to industry. Without adverting toother circumstances, the number of holidays takes from the industry of Ireland many days of labour. The same effect may be observed in other countries. A traveller passing through Switzerland, from a Protest a n- f to a Catholic canton, was surprised to find the good road in the first, changed to a very bad road iu tbe other; and the whole appearance of the country changed. How does- this happen? he said lo the postilion. The man replied', k* C'est un pays ferie," It is a country of holidays,* 1' Another cause of the unimproved state of many parts of Ireland, is the embarrassed condition of tlie proprie- tors, whose estates aie generally burdened with debts, and who make their condition worse hy dishonest at- tempts to avoid the payment of those debts. The ad- ministration of law for the recovery of debts is prevented ;' sometimes by fraud, sometimes hy force, sometimes by favour. The process by outlawry, and grants in custo- diani, unavoidably lead to gross mismanagement of the laud. The occupier has no certainty of tenure, and the owner of the laud is not his landlord. Under such management the property must fall into decay. Many of the proprietors are absent from the country; some willingly ; others from necessity, to avoid pay- ment of their debts. Of the latter, half the income of their lands is taken by creditors in possession ; aud the expense of keeping other creditors out of possession, exhausts the greater part of the income of the other half. Under such circumstances, improvement of land can scarcely be expected; and internal order must suffer for want of the residence of those most interested to maintain order. When the landlord is absent, the agent is lord ofthe soil, aud the tenants feel the differ- ence. The manner in which lands have been l^ t in Ireland has in many parts been very injurious to the country. At least one- third of Ireland has been granted by leases for lives, renewable for ever. The lessees have granted like leases under them ; and there are many instances of four or five such grants, from lessee to lessee, so that the occupying tenant may have four, five, or six land- lords over him, each of whom may distrain the goods of the occupying tenant for the rents due to him, which may he a hundred limes more than the rent due from the occupying tenant, whose immediate landlord is generally in arrear to his superiors, and too poor to make any improvement. Leases for long terms of years, of lands which are under- let in various parcels, and those parcels again under- let in smaller parcels, the occupying tenant being thus made subject to the de- mands of many superior lords, have produced similar inconvenience. The extinction of such superior and subordinate tenures would tend to the improvement of Ireland, by rendering the immediate lord of the occu- pying tenant rich instead of poor, enable him to assist in improving and relieving the occupying tenant from any injury arising from the demands of superior lords. Economy is uot the characteristic of an Irish landlord. If he determines on improvement, lie often has not the means. If he has means, he generally sets out on a plan far beyond bis means, involves himself in distress, and leaves his work imperfect. If an Irish gentleman builds a mansion- house, il is generally far beyond his means; he becomes distressed, aud the house is never finished. Mis tenants suffer, because their landlord has spent too much money. The Irish gentry are generally extravagant, seldom economical ; but sometimes Ihe spendthrift in youth becomes penurious in age; and in the next generation, the son dissipates in a moment what the father has employed years lo accumulate. But the great grievance of Ireland is, that the law is not sovereign. High and low, rich and poor, are all disposed lo he above the law, or to evade ils provisions. The errors of above six hundred years cannot be reme- died in a moment ; and they have stamped, generally, such au impression, on the ciimaeier <; f the people of Ireland, tha't reform is a very difficult task. And yet it is not a hopeless task. Au Irishman in Ireland, and an Irishman out of Ireland, are different characters. There is nothing in the soil or climate to produce this differ- ence. The feeble administration of the Government, which has pervaded every part of the country, and rendered the powers of ihe law everywhere weak and inefficacious, is the evil spirit which has thrown its baneful influence over the whole.

There is no misrepresenting in order to confute-— no indecorous triumphing because he has vanquished— no vain glorious boasting because he has achieved— no sacri- fice of sense to pomp of diction or melody of sound— no dazzling the fancy with brilliant imagery— no bewildering the understanding by vague assertions— no fatiguing tbe attention by profuse ornaments— no flattering the prejudices of his heareis—- no exciting false hopes or groundless terrors to render them blindly subservient to party purposes— no— it is plain, manly, and English j simplifying what is intri- cate, and unravelling what is entangled ; instructive without a wish to deceive, and persuasive without a wish to domineer; based on the sound maxims of experience and practical wisdom, il extorts, by its earnest simplicity, the assent of those most unwilling to be convinced ; and, coming home to the common sense and homely feelings of his hearers, it forces ils way through the understanding to the heart. Another characteristic is, ils tendency to conciliate. Amidst We understand, from good authority, that the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells has signified his disapprobation ofthe churches in his diocese being- opened for any other purpose than that of divine worship. In consequence, the Oratorios proposed to be given at Westou- Super- Mare have been aban- doned — Bath Paper. CARRIER PIGEONS.— It appears by the Dutch papers, that pigeons are novv used to forward correspondence between different countries, and one was found resting- on a house in Rotterdam a few days since. The carrier pigeons were trained to this purpose in Turkey and Persia, and were carried first, while young, short flights of about half a mile, and afterwards more, till at length they would return from the farthest part ofthe kingdom. Every Bashaw had a basket of three pigeons, bred at the seraglio, which, upon any emergent occasions, he despatched with letters braced under their wings, to the seraglio, always sending out more than one, for fear of accident. , lt is said that one of these birds would carry a letter from Babylon to Aleppo, which is thirty days' journey, in forty- eight hours. the fiercest animosity of party contentious never does ~ Tl\ e pigeon was employed in former times by the His Grace the Duke of Wellington, after holding a military levee at Ihe Horse Guards on his re appoint- ment lo the high stati<-; i of Commander- in- Chief, will leave this country for the Netherlands,, on his customary annual visit of inspection through fhe frontier fortresses in that kingdom. His Grace will be accompanied by a full military staff suitable fo his rank at the head of the British forces. One of his Aides- de- Camp, Colonel Jones, has already arrived at Ghent, preparatory to his Grace's departure from England. * The Will of the late Right Hon. George Canning, as also the Codicil attached thereto, have been proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, before John Adams, Esq. LL. D. by the Duke of Portland. ' S he property is sworn to be under £ 20,000. By the will he gives to his wife Joan llie whole of his property, after his debls and funeral expenses are paid, aud appoints her and the Marquis of Titchfield, now the Duke of Portland, to be " the guardians of his children, until the term of their minority shall have expired,. A legacy of £ 2,000 ( of course lapsed) is left to his mother; but it is added, I should prefer £ 300 being paid annually." VVe understand lhat Bishop Low, of Piltenween, has just returned from visiting the churches erected within these few years by the English emigrants in various parts of France. From all that we can learn, it would appear that there is now beginning to take root on the continent a regularly organized Protestant Episcopal Church, apostolically governed by its own independent Bishop, Dr. Luscombe, who was or- dained for that important mission by the Scottish Bishops at Stirling three years ago, and whose labours since his residence abroad, in Ihe peculiar duties of his sacred office, have been attended with the happi est effects in promoting tbe spiritual welfare of his numerous and increasing flock. It is remarkable lhat the Protestant Episcopal Church in L. e United States of America, which has extended itself so widely all over that immense country, should in the first instance have owed its existence, as an independ- ent church, to the zeal of the Scottish Bishops— Dr. Seabury, the first transatlantic Bishop, having re- ceived the Episcopal power from the hands of the la I e Bishops Kilgour, Petrie, and Skinner, at Aberdeen, iu 1784.— Edinburgh Observer. Mr. Peel for a moment forget the conduct and de mcanour ofa gentleman; never does the urbanity of his nature permit him lo treat his opponents with rudeness, or his official inferiors with contumely. No; it unconsciously insinuates itself into every action of his life, and, by being blended with in- tegrity, softens Ihe asperities of party, conciliates the most discordant opinions, and allays every angry feeling of political antagonists. Even amid tbe exciting applause of friends and adversaries, never does he display au eagerness for victory at the ex- pense of truth, nor does he lose that sobriety and self- possession which forbids him to exult in the successful issue of his labours, for the purpose of attracting admiration towards himself at the expense of the community. As Johnson said of Dr. Mudge, he never 44 grasps more sense than he can hold"— never " takes more corn than he could make inlo meal ;" and although 44 the prospects he opened are wide, ihey are never so distant as to be indistinct.' Though conciliating, he never yields his assent to mere authority, nor relinquishes an opinion, but from conviction ; and though never beguiled by novelty, neither is he awed by proscription— equally free from a , capricious running after experiments, as from an obstinate adherence to 44 things that are."— Inspector. THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION.— Here, after all, is the primary objection to the present admin- istration,— the danger of a Popish government; while that danger exists, the ministers may act even with honest intentions ; or which, in such men, were more desirable, tbey mny not act at all ; but still we must not relax in our exertions to effect their removal The word has gone foith, that Our constitution is to be overthrown by the mere vis inertice of a Popish Premier / and all who are seriously concerned for Ihe preservation of that constitution will therefore unite their best efforts to throw him overboard.— It not a question whether Mr. Peel or Lord Gode- icb is to be fhe prime minister,— not even whe- ther we are to have a Tory or a Whig administration ; but whether the constitution is lo be betrayed by sap and mine, or fought for by daylight in a fair field. — London Packet. From the Lisbon Papers, if would seem that they have got an odd sort of a Constitution, according lo the ideas that we in England have of Constitutions. An official article was la'ely addressed, by the com- mand of the Princess Regent, to all the Ministers at the Court of Lisbon, informing them that she had just discharged one of the Editors of a Newspaper, because he had given an account of the disturbances in Lisbon when Gen. Suldanha was dismissed.' English factory, to convey intelligence from Scan- deroon ofthe arrival of the Company's ships in that port, the name of the ship, the hour of her arrival, and whatever else could be comprised in a small compass, being- written on a small piece of paper, which was secured under the pigeon's wings with great care; her feet were bathed in vinegar, with a view to keep them cool, and to prevent her being tempted, by the sight of water, to alight. The pigeons performed this journey in two hours and a half. The messenger had a young brood at Aleppo, and was sent down in au uncovered cage to Scande- toon, from whence, as soon as set at liberty, she returned with all possible speed to her nest. These pigeons, when let fly from Scanderoon, instead of bending their course towards the high mountains surrounding the plain, mounted ( it is said) at once directly up, soaring still almost perpendicularly till out of sight, as if to surmount at once the obstacles intercepting their view of the place of their destination. Maillett relates a story of a pigeon dispatched from Aleppo to Scanderoon, which, mistaking its way, was absent for three days, and in that time had made an excursion to the island of Ceylon ; a circumstance then deduced from finding green cloves in the bird's stomach, and credited at Aleppo. In the time of the Holy Wat- certain Saracen Ambassadors, who came to Godfrey of Autioch from a neighbouring Prince, sent intelli- gence to their master of the success of their em- bassy by means of pigeons, fixing the billet to the bird's tail. Ovid tells us that Taurosthenus, by a pigeon stained with purple, gave notice to his father of his victory at the Olympic games, sending it to him at iEgina. And Anacreon states that he conveyed a billet doux to his beautiful Bathyllis by a dove. The use of pigeons as couriers between Aleppo and Seanderoon, and also Bagdad, has been discontinued for the last fifty or sixty years, because the Curd robbers killed the pigeons. A carrier pigeon has gone from St. Edmundsbury to London, being a distance of 72 miles, in two hours and a half. LONGEVITY.— On the morning of Thursday last, a Highlander of the name of John Macdonald expired in his son's house, in the Lawnmarket, at the advanced age of 107. He was born in Glen Tinisdale, in the Isle of Skye, and, like the natives of that quarter, was bred to rural labour. Early one morning, when looking after his black cattle, he was surprised by the sight of two ladies, as he thought, winding slowly round a hill, and approach- ing the spot where he stood. When they came up, they inquired for a well or stream, where Letters from Constantinople affirm that the Reis I ^ vat^ coul'd'be obtained! ^ conducted I hem" to To the Magistrates of England and Wales. Why is not Ireland what it ought to be? That Ireland is not what ii ought to lie, is admitted Uv every one ; nnd Ihe question is then put by etery oiiP " Why is not Ireland what it ought to be V' The principal cause of the present unfortunate state of Ireland i., that Ireland has never been made obedient to law. Whatever may have been the earlier state of that country, it is clear, that fit the time of the English in lasioli life whole island was in a state of great disorder; nud that the partial conquest made by Henry Ihe Second did nol lend to reduce even the parts acquired by the English, lo any settled rule of government, And now, after the' hipse'of above six bundled years, Ireland is r, nl yet duly obedient lo law. A country not obedient lo law cauiint be a prosperous or a happy country, especially with an abundant population; aud the first s ep lo ils impiovenient must be to render Ireland obe- dient to law. For this purpose, it is necessary to give energy to Ihe Government of tbe country in every part ol ils ad. ministration, and especially in its administration of justice. That energy lias always been wanting in Ire- laud The Government has always been weak in all its rarts' from ihe Lord Lieutenant and his council, lo the nettv'counlable ; from Ihe chief. judge of the land lo the lowest magistrate. All are blanieable, and therefore blame cannot jusllj be imputed to any one. The people GENTLEMEN, A Committee of the House of Commons have made a Report relative lo Lunatics under Restraint iu Licensed " Madhouses, and a printed Copy of such Report has heen deposited with Ihe Clerk of Ihe Peace of every Cunnty and City iu the Kingdom, lor your Information. That Report states, among other things, that It 44 has been clearly established in evidence, that there 44 is no due precaution with respect tothe Certificates i( of Admission, to the Consideration of Discharge, or 44 to the Application of any curative Process in the " Mental Malady." Now, Gentlemen, I entreat you to consider the calamitous consequences which must attend these defects, and lo implore you to lake all possible pains lo enquire into the extent of the evil, so as lo enable Parliament to provide a Remedy. As to Pauper Lunatics, I beg leave to remind you, that, by the 55ih Geo.

The late Inquiry in Parliament as to Lunatics hav ing, iu sonic measure, originated w ith me, I trust you will consider it to be my duty to procure all possible additional Information, aud that you will, on public grounds, exercise the trouble 1 seek to cast upon you. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ROBERT SEYMOUR. Portland Place} Ist Aug. 1827. RIOT.— At the Assizes, Norwich, certain men were put upon their trial on the capital charge of rioting, or of riotous assembling, andHot dispersing w hen the riot act was read. This was an affair arising out of the differences betwixt the weavers and their employers. The prisoners were acquitted, in consequence of a legal informality, or error iu the writing of the indictment. On the acquittal being made known, there was an expression of exultation in court, by the multitude of the audience in court, whereupon Mr. Baron Garrow, Ihe learned judge, reproved litem, and, addressing the prisoners said, it was no cause of triumph, but it was a case in which they ( the prisoners^ ought lo bless God in humble thankfulness, that his great mercy had over- shadowed them, saving them from an ignominious death ; for had ihey been found guilty ( as guilty they were), he should have fell it to be his ci. nty to have ordered their execution. This solemn address quelled the unfitting stir of rejoicing which had begun to be raised in court. RIOTING.— The following address, made by Mr. Baron Garrow to fifteen persons who had been put on their trial before him for rioting at Ashwelthorpe, in June last, is so excellent and instructive, lhat we think it ought to be circulated : — * 44 It has been truly said, lhat the offence imputed t<> you is one of serious magnitude ; it had for its object the violation of domestic peace, the destruction of pro perty, the disturbance of public security, and tbe endangering the lives of countless multitudes. Wheu a tumult of such a nature is excited, its consequences cannot be foreseen or estimated. Every peaceable citizen is bound to become a soldier to quell a public riot, and has a right to arm himself for its suppression. If, in the course of such a violent proceeding, one life is lost, every man engaged in exciting the disturbance is guilty of murder, and liable to be executed. Me is also liable to be cut down by the military, whom the civil power finds it necessary to call iu to support the slighted authority of the law. I grant that some men may join in a violent proceeding of this nature, without intending to shed blood ; but if one of their rash, incon- siderate, or sanguinary associates takes awnv the life of one human being, tbe law holds them all answerable for his blood. Such persons render themselves liable to ati untimely death, by the hands of the executioner— they diiay be deprived of Christian sepulture, and hanged in chains, or their bodies handed over to the surgeon for dissection— and not 41 gathered to their fathers" in ihe repose of ihe grave, but cast out from the last decent rites of humanitv, as if they were not of the species to which we all belong.— Why will men run into ihe mad and absurd enterprizes which led you to the verge of so great a ruin? Why will you not exer- cise your reason, instead of giving such a wild dominion to your passions? If I am a labouring man, what is the proper and prudent course for me lo pursue?— to labour for myself and family— to provide food and raiment for those whose comfort in life depend on my exertions. If limes become distressing, it is my duty to trust in Providence, and not to endeavour to better my situation by means which must make it worse. Is there another man, w ho, in . some branch of manufactures, has a sickly wife and children, and who feels it necessary to labour at a rate of wages which men less embarrassed refuse, let him be permitted to labour according to his view of ihe distressed condition of himself aud family. Does a manufacturer think it would he unadvisable to afford such wages as his workmen require, ask your- selves what advantage can arise from going forth to break into his shops and destroy his looms. Is it not absolute madness to deprive him of the means, in better times, of taking you into his service on more advan- tageous terms? Every man in this country has a right to work or not as he pleases. The masters may say we cannot give more, and you have a right to decline their Work ; but the law cannot allow you lo conspire to raise your wages by force. The law will visit any such con- spiracy, whether directed against the master manufac- turers or the operative class, with exemplary punish- ment. It will protect the poor and humble as well as ihe rich and exalted. Let no man suppose that the course which I have resolved lo take holds out anv impunity to rioters— quite the contrary. 1 propose not to pass any judgment at present, but that the defend- ants at tbe bar shall each for himself enter into his own recognizance to appear to receive judgment for the misdemeanor when called upon. If that should fail of producing the beneficial effect intended, those who abuse that mercy shall have to encounter the justice that awaits the hardened offender. It is with great satisfaction I anticipate better conduct ou your part To- day fifteen persons have stood at this bar- some of you in great peril of your lives, and others of vonr liberty. 1 hope those of your associates who witrress this scene will derive instruction from the example. I hope lhat when you leave that dock, you will return to your homes and lo society, to preserve the peace, and to lake care that, as far as your influences reaches it mav be preserved by your example and authority." ' Effendi had declared lo an European Ambassador that if a treaty had hem concluded hy the Allied Powers for Ihe purpose of impeding Ihe operations of * the Turkish fleet, he could not have answered for Ihe lives of Ihe- J'ranks at Constantinople. Every thing proceeds favourably at the Thames Tunnel. Eight hundred tons of soil, & c. have been cleared from the archways; it is expected, that before the next general meeting, the extension of the tunnel will have been commenced. The com- pletion of the tunnel is considered certain, if the ten or eleven feet of doubtful ground can be got through.— The visitors average 150 per diem. The weekly consumption. of articles 011 the works when in full operation, averages about 70,000 bricks, 350 casks of cement, anil a corresponding quantity of sand; 300 lbs. of candle; and, previously to the erection of the gasometer 011 the works, about 5000 feet of portable gas; and 750 tons of soil were carted from the works. GOOD WALKING.— Mr. Lionel Goldsmid, the son of Ihe late Mr. Benjamin Goldsmid, in the month of September, 1823, left Paris for Calais on a Thursday evening, and arrived at Calais 011 Saturday evening, having walked 172 miles English, carrying 201b. weight 011 his back of clothes. Oil Sunday he crossed to Dover, and on Monday took the packet to Ostend, where he remained three days aud then started on foot, carrying 301b. weight iu a knapsack — his destination was Milan, north of Italy. The three first days he completed, although the weather was most oppressive, 180 miles; viz. first day, 55, second day, 62, and third 63. His route was through France, and entering Switzerland, via Bcsancon, he arrived at Geneva, having walked from 45 to 46 miles every day. He was met here by several English travellers, who wished to accompany liim over the Alps, and they proceeded together; but in two days his companions givin in, he passed by Martiguy and the Grand St. Bernard, arriving at the latter place, from Geneva, in three days, making 125 miles English, over these tremendous mountains, and the last day the snow was over his shoe tops. From thence, until he arrived at Milan, he accomplished daily from 40 to 50 miles; and he thus completed upwards of 1,500 miles— the road he travelled, in 27 days. SINGULAR VERDICT.— As John Bradley, of Duns, more, near Wendover, was driving his horse and cart with a load of faggots to Aylesbury, on Saturday se'nnight, part of the harness came off, and set the horse kicking. Bradley, iu trying to get from the top of the load, fell down, and was killed. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death, and that the horse should be destroyed.'" The widow of the deceased, who was present, expostulated strongly against the destruc- tion of her property, and was so deeply affected that she fell into a fainting fit. Ultimately an arrangement was made, hy which the horse was 10 be employed in work where he was less likely to do mischief. Method of forcing Figs.— No fruit- tree is so docile as Ihe fig ; il bears as well or better in a pot ihan a free soil; cuttings come into bearing ihe same season; a first and second crop are obtained in the open air, and no tree forces better. Mr. Robert Chapman, Ihe intelligent and skilful gardener at Harewood House, has cultivated the fig iu pots under glass at that place successfully for Ihe last thirty years. The pots are generally from twenty to Iwenty. fuur inches wide at lop, and fourteen inches deep. The trees areannually taken oul of them in January, all Ihe younger roots are rut off with a sharp knife; the ball is reduced according lo circumslances, and Ihe plants are re- polled in rich sandy loam. A bed of dung or leaves is made 011 Ihe floor of a house, which has vines against ils hack wall ; 111 this the pots are plunged, and a lillle fire heal is given, so as lo keep the air from 65 degrees lo 70 degrees. The usual routine of culture is pursued ; Ihe frnil begins to ripen early in April, and a succession is kept up iu Ihe same house until Odob er, after which Ihe plants are plunged in Ihe soil of Ihe house, and kept dry till January. The sorts are the Genoa, the large brown Ischia, Ihe small black Ischia, the Murry, and the black Genoa. The trees are of different ages, from three to twenty years. The celebrated French cook, Monsieur Ude, says a correspondent, is to receive from Mr. Crockford, for the superintendence of his suppers at St. James's, £ 1200 a- year, besides perquisites!

I'he French Courts are about lo have a case laid before them, which presents difficulties that it would require the wisdom of Solomon to decide. The fol- lowing are the facts :— A midwife, heiself with child, while assisting a woman iu labour, was surprised herself with the pangs of childbirth. The maid- servant of the house, a young woman 61 of certain a< je," was summoned lo the succour of the two suf- fering mothers, and in a few minutes received in her arms two male infants, which she placed in a cradle but without marking tbe place of either. One of the children died a few minutes, after his birth, and now both mothers claim ihe living one.— Furet de Londres the " Virgin Well," an excellent spring, which was held in great reverence on account of its being the scene of some superstitious and legendary tales. When they had quenched their thirst, one of the ladies rewarded Macdonald with a shillings the first silver coin of which he was possessed. At their own request, he escorted them to a gentleman's house at some distance', and there, to his great sur- prise and satisfaction, he learned that the two " ladies" were Flora Macdonald and Prince Charles Stewart. This was the proudest incident in Macdonald's patriarchal life-^ and when surrounded by his Celtic brethren, he used to dilate on all the relative circumstances with a sort of hereditary enthusiasm, and more than the common garrulity of age. He afterwards turned joiner, and bore a con- spicuous part iu the building of the first Protestant Church which was erected in the island of North Uist. He came to Edinburgh twenty- three years ago, and continued to work at his trade till he was 97 years of age. He was a temperate,, regular living man, and never paid a sixpence to a surgeon for himself, nor had an hour's sickness, in the whole ourse of his life. He used to dance regularly on New Year's days, along with some Highland friends, to the bagpipe. On New Year's day, 1825, he danced a reel with the father, the son, the grand- son, and great- grandson, and was in more than his usual spirits. His hearing was nothing impaired, and, till within three weeks of his demise, without glasses he could have threaded the finest needle with facility.— Edinburgh Paper. The Persians conquered Babylon, and founded an empire reaching from the Indus to the Mediter- ranean, which lasted, however, only two centuries, Their government was not a body politic, but a monstrous power cemented by the blood of a hundred nations. They ravaged Egypt and Sidon and they w uld have ravaged Greece; but Fate has taken vengeance on their memory, and it now survives only as a mound of ruin to give a higher basis to the column of Greek renown.— CampbelC. Letters to the Glasgow Students. There are, we understand, eight presses at the Royal Mint frequently at work for 10 hours each day; and it is considered that the destruction of eight pair of dies per day ( one pair for each press) is a fair average result, though they much more frequently fall short of, than exceed that propor- tion. Each press produces 3600 pieces per hour but, making allowance for occasional stoppages, the daily produce of each press may be reckoned at 30/> 00 pieces. The eight presses, therefore, fur- nish a daily average of 240,000 pieces. Ihe mo^ t singular spit iu the world is that of the Count de Castel Maria, one of the most opulent lords of Trev'iso. This spit turns 130 different roasts at once, and plays 24 tunes, and wherever plays corresponds Jo a certain degree of cooking which is perfectly understood by the cook. Thus a leg of mutton a V Anglaise will be excellent at the twelfth air; a fowl d V Flamande will be juicy at the 18th; and so on. It would be difficult perhaps to carry farther the love of music and gormandizing. A curious instance of that mysterious intelligence in the lower animals, which we usually term instinct, occurred some days ago. A grocer in the Overgate, Dundee, presented a farmer in the vicinity of Blair- gowrie with a young pup only two months old. It was carried thence in a sack, and was thus excluded from all possible observation of the road-=— if we shall suppose a pup of its tender age sufficiently precocious to take memoranda of such" tong line of road. The little fellow was no sooner released, however, than he set out with al! speed on his return, and actually reached Dundee in 12 hours from the time he was tied up, a distance of 21 miles. — Dundee Courier. IRELAND.— There is no species of rational curi- osity which may not be gratified in this country. To the philologist it presents a language which is decaying every day, traditions and customs which are continually wasting; to the antiquary, monu- ments of various ages still unexplored; to the naturalist it offers a long line of basaltic coast, a soil bearing everywhere volcanic traces, together with those wonderful bogs, volcanoes of mire, which now and then make an irruption, and, like the lava of Etna, swell into the plains; the painter will find in Ireland an inexhaustible source of picturesque beauty; the political economist the practical ele- ments for the solution of the most important problems; the historian will be able to see there the progress of a conquest, as if it were only of recent achievement, and a state of society which will serve to explain analogous epochs in history that are not to be easily studied; the politicians can there be present at the exhibition of a struggle which is both national and religious, while the simple spectator can observe scenes of the highest dramatic effect; lastly, the philosopher, at the same time that he deplores the fortune of that country, will point her out as a shining example of the truth of all his theories, and a warning to other nations.— Memoir of a French Traveller. THE BRANCH BANKS.— Every week brings some fresh cause for alarm consequent ou the extension of these establishments. It appears by the Northern Prints, that the Provincial Notes which they issue have already been imitated at Manchester, and with so much success, lhat the difference is scarcely per- ceptible to the unpractised eye. This we always thought would be oue of the earliest mischiefs that would arise ; and as good is sometimes allowed tor proceed out of evil, this occurrence may perhaps eventually create that distrust in their paper, which will induce the tradesman and shopkeeper to continue to prefer the notes of the Banks to which he bas sty long been accustomed, and Ihe generality of which, being executed after the improved mode of engraving, are rendered more difficult of forgery. It is now also rumoured, that in Ihe appointment of Directors to their Branch establishments, the Bank has in its eye Ihe obtaining of Parliamentary influence against the next renewal of its Charter; and thai, before that period arrives, Ihey will have fixed themselves in most of the large cities and towns in the kingdom.— Bris- tol Journal. The Wassail Bowl, or Swig, as it is termed in Jesus College, Oxford, is of considerable antiquity, and up to this time is a great favourite with the sons of Cambria ; so much so, indeed, that a parly seldom dines or sups in that College, without its forming a part of their entertainment. On the festival of Saint David, Cambria's tutelary Saint, au immense silver gilt bowl, containing ten gallons, and which was presented to Jesus College by Sir Walkin Williams Wynn, in 1732, is filled with Swig, and handed round to those who are invited on thai occasion lo sit at their festive and hospitable board. The following is the method of manufacturing it at the College :— Put into a howl half a pound of Lisbon sugar; pour on it one pint of warm beer ; grate a nutmeg and some ginger into it; add four glasses of sherry and five additional pints of beer; stir il well; sweeten it to your taste ; let il stand covered up two or three hours, then put three or four slices of bread cut thin and toasted brown into it, and it is fit for use. Sometimes a couple or three slices of lemon, and a few lumps of loaf sugar rubbed on the peeling of a lemon, are introduced. Bottle this mixture, and in a few days it may be drank iu a stale of effervescence.— Oxford Night Caps. SYNONYME.— A physician having been out a shoot- ing one whole morning without killing any thing, bis servant begged to go over into the next field, for he was sure there were some birds there : 44 and," adds the mau, 44 if there are, I'll doctor them." 41 Doctor them," says the master, 44 what do you mean by that ?" " Why, kill them, Sir." A foreign journal, upon what authority we know not, relales Ihe following anecdote of Milton:— 4 Milton was in the flower of his age, when he went from St. Paul's school to the university of Cambridge. On account of the comeliness of his person, and live modesty of his manners, he was called the young lady of Christ's college. One summer's day, having strolled inlo the country, he was Overcome with the heat and fatigue, and sat down at the fool of a tree, where he fell asleep. During his slumber, two strange ladies happened to pass in their carriage near the spot. They were struck with the beauty of the young student ; they alighted, and after having looked al him for some time, without awakening him, one of them, a very pretty girl, of about fifteeu years of age, took a pencil out of her pocket, wrote some lines on a slip of paper, and tremblingly placed it m his hand. She immediately returned with her com- panion to her carriage, aud was soon lost sight of. Milton's companions, who were looking for him every where, had observed from a distance this mute scene, without being able to distinguish Ihe face o£ the young man who was sleeping on the grass; but ois » approaching him, after the departure of the two ladies, they informed him of what hail just occurred. The billet which Milton found in his hand, told hint something still more. He opened it, and read these words, taken from Guarini : — 44 Beauteous eyes,, deadly stars, authors of all my woe; if sealed iii sleep you have wounded my heart, what would have been your power had you been open?" So strange an adventure was highly flattering to his vanity. From thai moment he felt an irresistible desire to see the fair Italian, whom he long sought without ever finding. For her sake he loved her charming lan- guage; in order to discover her, he travelled to Genoa, Naples, Florence, Rome, and all over Italy, To this fair incognita England partly owes a Poem ( Paradise Lost) which sheds upon her so much glory ; tl was she too, that beautiful Latin, who, always present to the poet's imagination, animated with such lively colours the portrait of Eve, and the Garden of Ed en.'— r- Monthly Review. IMPROYED IRON BRIDGE.— Mr. Charles Toddy an engineer, at Bolton, has just completed, at a small cost, a metallic model, 4 feet 2 inches long, of an iron bridge on anew and improved construction^ Of this bridge he gives the following description:— The principle combines the greatest possible strength with lightness, neatness, and durability. It is also very simple in contrivance, and economi- cal in point of material, and consequently in point of cost. These essential properties will be made more clear when it is stated further, that on the principle of an arch, but requiring no abutments, a bridge of any dimensions, even to a mile in length, may be constructed of one span, and so slight a degree of curvature is requisite in the arch, that a level line for the road may be obtained; and this road completely formed by the cast- iron blocks of the arch, without any other preparative of pavement or flagging. This and other advantages in point of erection, combined with a great saving of stone- work for supporting it ( as it only requires a sub- stantial, though comparatively light pier at each end, to carry a vertical weight), causes a saving of at least one- third in the erection of a bridge of this kind, when compared with any other iron bridge of the same stability. It is also applicable to bridges whose road it is desirable should range in the direc- tion of an inclined plane, as it is as firm and correct in principle, at an angle of 450 and more, as it is when placed in an horizontal position. It is also- applicable to the construction of beams or wbo4e floors in fire- proof and other buildings, dispensing with the necessity of pillars or supports, and ren- dering the floors much safer than any other mode of construction which has hitherto been adopted."—. He adds— 44 It enables me to anticipate the erection of the once projected and much wished- for Runcorn Bridge, over the River Mersey. This bridge re- quires a span of 2000 feet; but I have no doubt I could erect it in two years, with the utmost ease and safety, and it should not cost much more, if any, than the estimated cost of the tunnel under the Thames, London, whii- h is only about half the length."

A DARING SHEEP STEALER.— A fellow named Hattatt, a butcher by trade, had the ciT- ontery, early on Monday se'nnight, to steal sixty- cme & he* p9 from a fold, belonging to Mr. Geo. Ruddle, of Ali^ cannings, Wilts ; and shortly afterwards to take pens and expose them for sale ai Tan hill fair, within twa miles of Ihe place whence ihey were stolen ! The price he first asked was 18s. but he eventually agreed to dispose of them to a dealer for I5s. a head. Cir- cumstances arose lo excite a suspicion that he had stolen them— he was taken into custody— confessed the robbery— and is committed for trial at the Assizes BANKRUPTS, AUG. 21— William Walker, of London hop- merchant .— Charles Warw ick, of Kennington- laue.
