We mentioned, yesterday, that Viscount Goderich, the Lord Chancellor, Mr. St urges Bourne, Mr. llus- kisson, and Mr. Berries, proceeded to Windsor to attend the King. It appears that his Majesty, after giving an audience to the Cabinet Ministers who were in at- tendance, communicated through Lord Goderich, to Mr. Herries, his desire that the Right Hon. Gentle- man should accept the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Berries was accordingly introduced, and the necessary formalities were gone through, after which the Ministers returned to London. We congratulate our Readers upon the arrange- ment' thus definitively made; for it involves, as a Blatter of course, the appointment of Mr. Buskisson, to the Colonial Office, aud of Mr. Charles Grant as the successor of the former at the Board of Trade. The Marquis of Lansdowne left town this morn- ing at an early hour, to wait on his Majesty at Windsor, Many rumours are current, in Ihe highest political circles, ofa nature which it would be premature to mention, or discuss at the present moment.— Courier ofSatxrrday.

The Society for Diffusing Useful Knowledge has just published its 10th Treatise : it is entitled " Ani- mal Mechanics " The title is somewhat quaint, but the design of the work is excellent, and the style • aud matter admirable. The writer, \ yl> o is evidently both a perfect anatomist and mathematician, has given us what may be pronounced the most scientific and convincing essay on final causes— in other words, on the proofs of an Almighty Mind in the creation of man— that has ever come uuder our notice. From the beautiful little sketch drawn by a master's hand in Xenophon's Memorabiliadown to the eloquent illustrations of Derhain iu his Physico- Theology, and the elaborate and ingenious demonstrations of Paley in his Natural Theology, there is no one work which in a short compass com- bines such perfect knowledge ofthe subject, such accurate explanation, such an earnest tone ( the result of thorough conviction)^ without the least mixture of cant or fanaticism, as this little book to which we now direct the attention of our readers. VVe are glad to avail ourselves of this opportunity of noticing the silent but steady progress of this much- calumniated society. Two sets of objectors very early put themselves in array against it. How, it • was said, can a committee of statesmen and lawyers print two treatises ( on subjects, too, for the most part unconnected with their regular professions) iu a month? Yet the society has regularly published two treatises every month since it began. Another party exclaimed—" See the systematic neglect of religion by these liberal and philosophical bene- foators of the age !" The present treatise will go far, we suppose, to silence the hypocritical clamour. A treatise, asserting" and proving the mind of an omnipotent Creator in the mechanism of the human framer with a simplicity worthy of Xenophon, a piety worthy of Berham, an ingenuity worthy of Paley, and with learning and science superior to them all, has rendered'an invaluable service to the cause of religion, far beyond the efforts of those noisy bigots, who think the cause of Christianity best served by outrageous calumny against their fellow men, or by discountenancing* all the endea- vours which are made by those out. of their own pale to cultivate the human mind, aud thereby fit it the better for understanding the great truths of natural and revealed religion.— Times, August 29, 1827.

THE MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. [ From the Courier.] Since our publication of Saturday, we have ascer- tained that we were incorrect in stating that Mr. Herrifs was appointed Chancellor of llle Exchequer, at Windsor, on Friday lasl. No such appointment then took place, nor could any final settlement of the Ministerial urrangemcnls lie made, until afler the interview with which His Majesty was pleased lo honour the Marquis of Lansdown oil Saturday. That interview having, its we have now good reason lo know, terminated most satisfactorily, a Council lias been summoned at Windsor Ibis day, al which Ihe appointment of Mr. Huskissoti, Mi Berries, and Mr. Charles Grant, lo the Offices to which we have already alluded,, will be carried inlo effect. [ From the London Packet.] Mr. Berries is, as our readers are aware, Chan- cellor of the Exchequer. This is tbe same gentle- man of whom Ihe Morning Chronicle mentioned tee days ago, that he is the associate of stock- jobbers; and of whom the Times told us last week, that he is not only inferior iu talent to " Messrs. Huskissoa and Tierney, and even to Mr. Charles Grant;" but, which is much more terrible, " he is the same Sir. Herries who has a certain bias on political questions — a bias adverse to the liberal principles of Mr. Canning, on questions of high state policy— dia- metrically adverse to the practical wisdom of Mr. Canning's friend and colleague, Mr. Huskisson :" in a word, the same Mr. Herries, whose appointment, according to the Whig authority above quoted, King, Cabinet, and country, were alike determined to oppose. Mr. Herries is nevertheless Chancellor " f the Exchequer. And who will deny that such an appointment iri such circumstances is beyond com- parison the most stupendous miracle of our age. Either that there is " a power behind Hie throne greater than the throne," or that Mr. Herries is in possession of a charm, seems to be the only alter- native by which the phenomenon can be solved. For that Mr. Herries, with all his illiberal preju- dices, can be the chosen of the cabinet is impossible; that the King could have a candidate, it were it seems treason to surmise. But now for Ihe liberal members ofthe Cabinet: bow do they take their defeat; whether the result of a Royal frown, or of less dreaded magic. Let us bear from their own organ, Ihe Timet ••—" . Tl » e Marquis of Lansdown, it is pretty generally known, KXPREFSED A RELUCTANCE TO ACT WITH MR. BERRIES, if another Minister more suitable in his apprehension could be prevailed upon to take the souls of the Exchequer. That other, it appears, could nol le procured ; but even under what might be looked upon as a case excepted from the con- tingent pledges of the Noble Marquis, be conceived himself bound to " KEEP C/ KSAR'S WIFE ABOVE SUSPICION;" and, on ils being'announced to him that no choice remained, except in favour of Mr. Berries, who was not even then more than in n state of expectancy with regard to office, " Lord Lans- down laid tbe seals of the Home Department at his Majesty's feet." " The Sovereign declined lo accept the resignation ofhis Minister," ike. Why this is admiv& ble ! The Marquis, who has for this fortnight been foaming and rcring against Mr. Herries's appointment, and imprecating till manner of infamy upon bis own head, should he connive al it, when the appointment actually lakes place, goes to Windsor, drops the seals of office at the King's feet, and gathers them up again upon the earliest half i'. od of encouragement, with the alacrity with which a miser might be supposed to retract a reluctantly proffered gift, upon a first indication of refusal. And ( his is the magnanimous disinterest- edness of the Whigs; this is the lofty contempt for the emoluments and patronage of place by which a chief of liberals ought ever tube distinguished.

We stated in our last Journal, that this important cause bad come on for trial, at Ruthin, on Friday, the ,24th ult. before a Special Jury. It was the same case, only in another form, with that of" Blair versus Wynne," tried at Shrewsbury last year, and in which the defendant then obtained a verdict. The question at issue was, whether a certain exten- sive tract of mountain land, stated by the defendant to be within the manor of Hiraethog, in the county of Denbigh, is the property of the plaintiff, Mr. Blair, of LHtoxeter, as his soil and freehold, or whether the soil and freehold thereof is the pro- perty of C. W. G. Wynne, Esq. as Lord of the Manor of Hiraethog, subject only to the plaintiff's right of common thereon. The case occupied the Court until three o'clock on Tuesday morning, the " 28ill ult.; the Learned Judge, in Ilis charge, having put the questions to ( he Jury as to whether the soil and freehold of the lands in question were the property of the plaintiff or of the defendaut ? and as to whether the defendant had proved that any Manor of Hiraethog existed? The Jury, alter retiring for about three hours, returned a verdict, that the plaintiff was entitled to the soil and freehold ofthe lands in question; but as to the Manor, they considered it a question of so much difficulty tbey could not say. Immediately after the verdict, the Defendant entered into the usual recognizances for the purpose of applying to the Court of King's Bench next Term for a new trial. OXFORD CIRCUIT— 11ERFORD, AUG 27. BLAKEMORE V. THE GLAMORGANSHIRE CANAL COM- PANY. This was an action to recover compensation for the waste and improper appropriation of a bead of water, by which the tin works, trow the property of Ihe plain- tiff, had been kept in motion from time immemorial. The damages were laid at £ 8.500. Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW stated the case. The plaintiff is a Magistrate, and an extensive proprietor of land in Ihe county of Glamorgan, and is also proprietor of some valuable tin works situate on the banks of the river Taaf, from which a nett income of £ 14,000 per annum was derived. The waters of the Taaf bad been from time immemorial used for turning the macliine. rv of these mills. In 1790 an Aet of Parliament for* the cutting of thp canal, of w- liich the. defendants are propri- etors, was obtained, and a power granted for them to lake a certain volume of water from the river Taaf, by means of a weir, lo he constructed of the dimensions there set forth, and lliev were further lo be allowed the use of all " springs, brooks, watercourses, rivulets, or streams found by them in digging, or lying within 2000 feet of the course of the caaal." It was contended by the plaintiff that the defendants had far exceeded the powers thus granted them, and that thev hud diverted part of the writers to which he had a right, and thereby caused serious injury to his works, and that in parti- cular during 2( i weeks in the year 1826, his works were entirely suspended from a wanj of water, and a damage thereby sustained to ihe amount of £ 8,500. An immense number of witnesses weie called to sus- tain this case. Mr. TAI'NTON, on the part of the defendants, pro duced an equal body of testimony to show, first, lhat the defendants bail not exceeded their powers; aud next, that the injury complained of had arisen solely from the extraordinary d rough I ofthe season. Tile trial lasted four entire days; but, iu the end, il appearing to the Jury thai the defendants had exceeded their powers, although tint to the ex tent alleged, a ver- dict vvas found for the plaintiff— damages £ 500.

What with hi » enormous estates in London and Westminster, ( where his lordship is erecting almost a new aris- tocratical capital,) in Chester, Cheshire, Flintshire, and Denbighshire— al Shaftesbury, Hindon, Stock- bridge, anci numerous other places, the Noble Earl may," perhaps, be considered the richest landowner in Great Britain. His income is estimated at from £ 270,000 to £ 300,00!) per annum, which sum, im- mense as it is, is exceeded by that of the Marquis of Stafford, in a great measure derived from canal property. One only of Earl Grosvenor's mining concerns in Wales is let by him to a company for £ 20,000 per annum; and within the last 25 years he has laid out more than £ 700,000 on his family estate at Eaton, near Chester. EXECUTIONS.— Oil Monday week, Thos. Norton was executed at Newgate for the. robbery of Mr. Fuller, at Belbtial- green. On Friday, Geo. Champion and John James, con- victed at the late Devon Assize of a burglary and robbery to a large amount in the bouse of Mr. Tucker, watchmaker, at Tiverton, underwent their dreadful sentence. Champion confessed to the Rev. E. Chave, that he robbed Mr. Marked, ajeweller of Cardiff, iu Wales, to a considerable amount, in com- pany with a man who has since been transported for another offence.. Joshua Slade, convicted of the murder of the Rev. Dr. Waterhouse, was executed at Huntingdon on Saturday last. A PERFECT LA- WVEII !— An English writer of the 17th century, thus sums up " the character of a perfect, lawyer :"—" In a word, whi'st he lives, he is the deliglit of the courts, the ornament of the Bar, the glory ofhis profession, tho patron of innocency, the upholder of right, the scourge of oppression, the tet ror o. f- dsccit, and the oracle of his country; and when death cails him to the bar of Heaven by a habeas corpus cum causis, he finds his judge his advocate, nonsuits the devil, obtains a liberate from all his infirmities, and continues still one of the long robe in glory." Notwithstanding the presence of tbe Lords Justices of Assize at Ruthin, on Friday se'ntiight, a most impudent robbery was attempted to be perpetrated by two ofthe wandering sons of Israel, but whether their beards or their consciences were the longest it is difficult to determine. Being, however, detected in the commission of tile crime, a punishment was inflicted upon them that- will most likely deter them from again endeavouring to appropriate other people's property to their own use. They were observed a considerable length of time lurking about the yard and outhouses of one of the principal inns, with each a bag on his shoulder, and by way of lulling all suspicion as to their intentions, they every now and then called out " auld clays ;" this, however, was the cause of their detection; the ostler having two or three jackets hanging in the stable, which he saw them cast a longing look at, hid himself with a friend ill an outhouse opposite, for the purpose of watching their motions, and ere three minutes had slipped away the Jews had entered the stable, unpegged the jackets, and were depositing them in their bags. They were of course immediately seized, and they begged strongly for mercy, but the ostler and his friend bound them face to face, so that they could not stir hand or foot, and having fasten d their beards together with cobbler's wax, and forced a considerable quantity of strong snuff up their nostrils, left them for a short time to their cogitations. The result may be anticipated. The poor Jews, from objects of contempt, became objects of com- passion ; blood, tears, and perspiration rolled profusely down their faces, and even the bard heart of Blaise softened so far that he repented thus putting them on their trial, and loosening their beards and houds with a huge clasp kuife, he bad them depart in peace. At the Flintshire Great Sessions, lasl week, Thomas Edmunds, for bijariiy, was sentenced lo one month's imprisonment.— John Jor. es and Elizabeth Bates, for a burglary at Kelsterlou, had sentence of death recorded against them. At Monmouth Assizes, sentence of death was recorded against Jas. Coleman, aged 24, for know, ingly uttering two forged £ 1. Bank of England. notes at Newport ; Mary Lawrence, aged 15, for stealing, four sovereigns and other monies, aud wearing apparel, from John White, of Ifton ; and John Price, aged 37, for stealing money and wcaring. ap parel, from J. Quilan, of Rumtiey Iron- works — Wm Watkins, aged 22, for stealing a mare at Tre vethin ; and John Holloway, aged 10, for stealing junk at Whitebrook, were sentenced to transport ation for seven years. m& mmr mmailiBO SHREWSBURY.

CORN EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 3. Our market was well supplied this morning with every description of new corn, with the exception of Barley, aud the quality being very fine, a great deal was disposed of. Some of the samples of Wheat came rather damp.; but, upon the whole, Monday's prices were fully obtained for what was sold. New Barley, being in scanty supply, sold fully as high as last week, and would have realized more money, but the different accounts from all parts of the kingdom state tbe crops of this grain to be superabundant. Peas were ready sale at the prices of last week ; but Beans were dearer, owing to the shortness of the supply ; and some New Small Beans, of a most beautiful qua- lity, appeared, for which 60s. per quarter was asked, but not obtained. Oats are heavy sale, yet not cheaper for fine fresh Corn, although the consumption has greatly diminished. In other articles there is no alteration.

His Grace transacted business at his office in the Horse Guards, for the first time since his re- appoint- ment to the command ofthe forces. The Duke of Wellington has appointed the fol- lowing Officers to be his Grace's Aides- de- Camp, viz.— Colonel Sir Henry F. Cooke. K. C. B. half- pay; Lient.- Colonel Hon George Anson, hall- pay ; Lieut.- Colonel Francis Russell, and Lieut.- Coloael John Fremantle, Coldstream Guards. Lord Fitzroy Somerset succeeds Sir Herbert Taylor in the office of military secretary to the commander- in- chief. Sir Herbert retires with a competent fortune. An overland dispatch has been received from India ; the only news which has yet transpired i3 1 the death ofthe celebrated chief RunjeetSing. The messenger passed through Constantinople on the 3d August, and brings letters fully confirming the ac- count ofthe arming ofthe Turks, and the defeat of the Russians near Erivan. The . Russian cavalry had been particularly unsuccessful ; in two engage- ments with the Prusians they were defeated, and as the latter were much better mounted, in the flight the Russians were stated to be cut down in great numbers. PORTUGAL -— The gazette de France of Tuesday's date, and'the Paris Papers of Monday, coutain intelligence: relating- to Portugal of more than ordinary importance. The two parties in that country are now so nearly balanced, that bothj in the consciousness of their mutual streugth, abstain from active measures. The inflammatory Proclama- tion which was recently affixed to the walls of Lisbon by the Constitutionalists, calling upon their • partisans to unite in opposition to the return of Don Miguel, is ofthe most violent character and abuses Austria, Spain, England, and France;— It is to be recollected, however, ( says the Courier) that though grave and insuperable objections may exist to the ..; _- _ / » i— - n. it: i Thursday was settling day at theStock Exchange, ' and with the exception of one or two trifling defaulters out of the house, tl\ e settlement has wound up extremely well. The debts of Mr. Henty, who proved a defaulter at a former settle- ment, are rather above £ 140,000, and a dividend of uot more than eight- pence halfpenny in the pound will be made to his creditors \ ANOTHER MATRIMONIAL AFFAIR.— The follow- ing-, as far as we have been yet able to ascertain, are, we understand, the principal details connected with this matrimonial exploit, as alluded to in a paragraph in our paper of Saturday : — A. substantial farmer of the name of Patrick Fitzgerald, residing in the county of Kildare, at a place called Ballyshannon, in tbe neighbourhood of ihe Curragh, on his return from Divine Service on Sunday, the tOth inst. found that, during his absence, a strong box, iu which was depo- sited his cash, had, in despite of the resistance of no less than three stout locks, by which. it was guarded, beeu broken open and rifled of its contents, amounting to five hundred pounds, principally in bank notes and post bills. The discovery of llie authors of the felony did not long remain a matter of suspense. A young woman, his niece, also of the name of Fitzgerald, whom he. had brought up from infancy, and who acted in the capacity of housekeeper to her uncle, and had alone such access as would enable his wealth to be come at, was found to have absconded, aud, under circumstances that lefl no doubt of her implication iu she transaction, and her object, it being discovered that she had taken, as the companion of her flight, a serving man, named Michael Conlan, in the employ- ment of her uncle. The latter lost no time in com- mencing a pursuit after the parties, proceeding to town for that purpose, where, after procuring ihe assistance of the police authorities, and prosecuting for some time a fruitless search after the fugitives, he, among- other places of the kind, went to Ilowth, to ascertain whether they might not have left the. country iu some vessel from that port. Here lie received information, from the serjeant of police stationed there,, that a couple, such as he described, had sailed some days before for Liverpool, whither, it was set- tled, that the person who had given this information should follow them. He did so, accompanied by a young man, a relation of Fitzgerald's, and, in less unconditional assumption of power by Don Miguel, j f' 11111 an hour after his arrival there, was so fortunate suchan arrangement might be made, and is within " " # 1— ' —' ! the competency of the Allied Powers, as would not only quiet all present fears, but become a guarantee for the future tranquillity ofPortugal. Nor shall we be surprised, before long, to find his Royal Highness oh his way to Lisbon, there to take upon himself the office of Regent, accompanied with conditions to which it is not necessary now to make a more specific allusion, which, while they would extinguish the extravagant projects of the Apostolical party, would, at the same, time, tend to unite the more moderate individuals of that party with the Constitutionalists, in support of the existing system. The affairs of this kingdom, indeed, are drawing to a crisis, and we may rest satified, that neither our own Government, nor those of France and Austria, are inattentive to the pressing claims which the affairs of Portugal have upon their mature delibera tion.

Robert Peel. " SIR, " At a time when events have occurred which no longer allow you, consistently with your principles, to remain a member of the Administration, we feel it ; imperative on us to come forward and offer you the sentiments of our respect and admiration, for the manner in which you have always discharged the high and important duties of a Minister of the Crown. We regret that the zeal, talent, and assiduity, which distinguished your efforts in the public service, should, eveii for a time, be lost to the interests of the country,; bi* t when we reflect that your retirement frori^ bifice11 could not have been obviated without a sa^ ufice' of tl|. ose high feelings and just, views of policy yvhicli, you have maintained, we cannot but approve of the course which you have taken, and which manifests how little you were actuated by an . ambition of power, compared with an exercise of principle. Your unceasing exertions to modify and adapt ihe Criminal Code of England to the. necessities of an advanced state of ci vilization— tbe desire w hich you showed to remove whatever was objectionable in our ancient system of Jurisprudence, without encou- raging the spirit of a rash and intemperate innovation — the moral courage wilh which you approached so great and delicate a task, and the steady perseverance with which you pursued it, eminently entitle you to the esteem and gratitude of your country. But at the present crisis, when our most sacred and valuable institutions appear to be in danger— when the First Minister of the Crown is surrounded by persons who have always ad vocated the cause of Catholic Emanci- pation— when that First Minister is himself the sup- porter of a question which strikes at the very root of the prosperity and independence of the Empire, we feel it our duty to record the sentiments which we feel towards you, for the manly and enlightened stand which you have so long made against a measure that has for its object the subversion of those principles which were the happy cause of seating the illustrious Family of Brunswick on the Throne of these Realms. " We dfsc. laim, like yourself, any desire to inter- fere with the rights of conscience, or to prevent any class Q^ histrMajesty's subjects from adopting any form of-. r. eiigioils worship they please, which does not disturb the public peace. It is not the toleration of the Romant- Catholic faith, but the ascendancy of the Roman Catholic principles, which we oppose; we wish the distinction to be preserved whieh the Law- has rightly made between this system as a religious exercise, and as a political institution: it is on this distinction. that the law protects their places of wor- ship, and their individual rights, while it excludes them from political power, because they stand in a relation to a Foreign State which incapacitates them from subscribing- to the conditions that the Constitution has annexed to the privileges which it confers. We need not remind you, Sir, that, although the privi- leges to which we allude are open to his Majesty's Protestant subjects, yet they are not admitted to the enjoyment of them as natural rights, but as rights founded upon certain qualifications ; and no subject can justly complain of being excluded from political privileges,. as long as he refuses to subscribe to the conditions which the Constitution declares necessary to insure such an exercise of power as is not incom- patible with the safety of the realm. Bui, besides this general principle, the history of the country affords so many examples of the encroaching- spi -:' of the Roman Catholic Religion, and the ambitious policy of its Popes, that, to admit to political power this Protesjant State, a class of persons so subservient to their , spi*; itual teachers as the Members of the R mish Communion, must be" productive of the most dangerous^ oiisequerrces ; especially as the Head of their Qhuft^ h has never disclaimed, iii General Coun- cil orotherwise, the authority he once, usurped over the Crown of England, and the - pernicious power which Tie exercised of deposing Kings, and absolving subjects froth tlreir allegiance. It is. to ns, however, a soiiYce of great confidence at the present crisis, that, although you are no longer a Member of his Majesty's Councils, the country will have the benefit of your services in Parliament, with the same, uncompromising- spirit of resistance to unconstitutional innovation, which you have ever displayed. We have a firm reliance that you will continue to oppose all further concessions jtp the Roman, Catholics, as long as they hold tenets at" variance with that religious and civil freedom which was purchased for us by the wisdom, the virtue, and ihe blood of our ancestors, and which we are bound to transmit unimpaired to posterity. tl Impressed with these sentiments, we beg you to accept the assurance of our gratitude, support, and esteem." as to succeed in apprehending them ; not, however until they had completed oue great point— that of getting themselves indissolubly rivetted in the bands of matrimony., at the Church of St. Peter's, in that town, the ceremony being performed by a Protestant clergyman of the place, the contracting parties being both Catholics. The policeman also succeeded in gaining a point, perhaps of equal interest to his employer as the apprehension of the bride and bride groom, namely, the recovery of a third party involyed in the abduction, in the shape of tbe cash, as on his taking the former into custody he proceeded to search their persons, when he found on that of Conlan docket for nearly £ 400 of the money, which latter he had deposited for a temporary space until he should depart for America, at a banking establishment, where she had exchanged for coin of that country the money brought from Ireland. The docket being re- turned at the office where the exchange had been effected, and the circumstance explained, the money was restored, and placed in the bands of the constable Tbe mi?- fortunate lovers were tlien compelled to limit their trip to a shorter voyage than that which they had anticipated at the commencement of their tour and again revisit their native shores, not, we pre sume, experiencing any extraordinary sensations of delight at being once more restored to their anxious friends and country. An uncle to the bridegrom, of tbe name of Michael Kelly, is also iu custody, in consequence of certain documents or letters found on him sufficient to warrant his detention as a party in the transaction. They have been all committed to Newgate for further examination, where the happy couple are likely to find accommodation for, at least the honeymoon.— Dublin Morning Post. THE KILDARE ELOPEMENT.— The case of Fifz. geratd, noticed in our last, was brought on again on Monday.— The parties were committed to gaol abide Iheir trial at the next Assizes for the County of Kildare. The uncle of the girl, seeing the dangerous consequences which must necessarily arise fr prosecution, has declared his intention of forfeiting his recognizances, and foregoing his right to the entire sum of money ( still lodged in the Policc- Office), rather than be the means of endangering the lives of the parties.— Dublin Patriot. It is a well- known fact, that water, though it contracts by cold, and expands by heat, not- withstandingj. while it is in the very act of freezing, suddenly expand, and that with such an enormous force as to burst the strongest metal sh ' lis, and rend rocks asunder. In fact, no resistance can withstand the expansive power of water in the act of freezing. By a computation of the expansive force of freezing water, made by the Florentine Academicians, from the bursting of a strong brass globe, in which they froze the inclosed water, it was proved, that the expansive power of a spherule of water, only one . inch iu diameter, was sufficient to overcome a resistance of more than 27,0001bs. or tons. The same is proved by Major Edward Williams, of the Royal Artillery, from the experi- ments he made in bursting thick bomb shells by freezing water in them, as may be seen in the Edinburgh Philosophical Transactions, vol. 2. Huygens, to try the force with which it expands, filled a cannon with water, and then exposed it to the cold, after closing the mouth and vent so that no water could escape ; and in 12 hours the Water froze and burst the cannon. Major Williams filled thick iron bomb shells of all sizes with water, and plugged the fuze hole close up, and exposed them fo the strong freezing air of the winter; and though he drove in the plugs , as hard as a sledge could force them, they were all thrown. out by the expansion of the frozen water, like a ball shot by gunpowder to the distance of 500 feet, though they were 3lb. weight. He then screwed the plugs iu, and furnished them with hooks or barbs to lay hold of the inside of the shell, and in all these instances the bombs burst, though the iron shell was nearly two inches ; n thickness. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. Several Friendly Institutions having been recently established, in conformity to Act of Parliament — founded on principles of correct calculation, and combining ail the improvements which moderri science and experience have devised for effecting the proposed object by a system of mutual assurance against the casualties of life— some account of the origin £ nd progress of Friendly Societies in this country may not be uninteresting to our readers^ The following'statement is extracted from a pub- lication on the subject by the fi. ev. J. T. Becher, Prebendary of Southwell, and Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for the division of Newark, in NottinghamshireThe precise period of the commencement of Friendly Societies cannot be ascertained; but their existence in this country may be traced as far back as the middle of the last century. In the year 17^ 2 the public attention was powerfully excited by 1 A Proposal 4 for establishing Life Annuities in Parishes, for the i Benefit ofthe industrious Poor,' published by Mr. Mazeres, Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer, with alterations suggested by Dr. Price. And in the following year a bill was brought into the House of Commons by Mr^ Dowdeswell, formerly Chancellor of the, Exchequer, entitled ' Au Act for the Support i of Poor Person^ in certain circumstances, by c enabling Parishes to grant them Annuities for ' Life, upon purchase, and under certain restric- 4 tions.' It passed the House of Commons without opposition; brit, on the motion of Lord Camden^ was rejected in the House of Lords, under an impression that it would burden the ianded property. The Members of Parliament nominated to bring iu the bll. l with Mr. Dowdeswell were Lord John Cavendish, Sir George Savillev, Mr. Burke, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Dunning, Mr. Rice, Mr. Thomas Townsend, Sir Grey Cooper, Mr. Frederick Mon- tague, Sir Richard Sutton, Mr. Fuller, and Mr. Greaves, whose names I mention, as it will be acknowledged that men could scarcely have been selected more fervently devoted to the welfare of the community, or more eminently distinguished by intellectual endowments and political sagacity. In 1789 this bill, with amendments proposed by Dr. Ptice, was revived, and again passed the House of Commons, but was lost a second time in the House of Lords. The expediency of its provisions for improving the habits of the people was admitted; but that part ofthe bill which charged the annuities upon the parochial assessments created apprehen- sions and objections among the landed aristocracy. However, although this bill never passed into a law, the publication of it, together with the tables of calculations, circulated more accurate notions upon subjects of this nature, so that Friendly Societies multiplied in number and advanced in reputation. At length fhe Right Hon. George Rose introduced a bill inlo Parliament, which, in the year 1793, passed into a law £ for the Encouragement and Relief of Friendly Societies.' Ali Societies coming under the operation of this Act are required to present their rules for approval and confirmation STOURBRIDGE RACES.

Dr. Price, in his admirable observations on Rever- sionary Payments, when treating upon i Schemes c for providing Annuities for Old Age,' expresses his opinion in this forcible language:— c I have said ' that these societies ( i. e. Benefit Societies) are im- ' positions on the public, proceeding from ignorance, c and supported by credulity and folly. But this is 1 too gentle a censure. There is reason to believe < that worse principles have contributed to their rise * and support. The present members, consisting 4 chiefly of persons in the more advanced ages, who c have been admitted on the easiest terms, believe ' that the schemes they are supporting will last their ( time, and that they will be gainers. And as to the c injury that may be done to their successors, or to 1 younger members, it is at a distance, and they care 4 little about it.' These sentiments are decisively corroborated by Mr. William Morgan, in his preface to the sixth edition of the work just quoted, dated January, 1803. ' It is, indeed, a great misfortune 4 that the different clubs established in this kingdom ' should in general be founded on such erroneous 1 principles; and that a disposition, so laudable iri 4 in itself, should not be properly directed and en- i couraged by the legislature. The funds of these ' clubs have, it is true, been preserved by a late Act ' of Parliament from the depredations of their treasurers. But it would have been as well, per- ' haps, if provision had been made iu the same Act i against the formation of such clubs, or of any 4 society for the benefit of age, widows, & c. without ' having previously submitted their plans to some 4 persons competent to judge of their efficiency.

In 1817 Mr. Morgan gave the following evidence before a Committee ofthe House of Commons4 I am constantly consulted upon this 4 subject, and the societies have flourished wherever 4 the plan I have recommended has been adopted; 4 but. in general these clubs have been so badly con- 4 ducted, that they are obliged to break up; and I 4 advise them continually to do so. The best way is 4 to divide the stock and. begin anew, when Dr. 4 Price's system of payments and allowances is 4 adopted. The societies that have failed have 4 universally begun upon a bad system, giving Targe 4 annuities for a trifling remuneration, and receiving- 4 eight shillings where they ought to receive ten. 4 Those societies which have be « - un upon a right 4 principle have universally flourished.'

SALOPIAN JOURNAL, AMP COUIMIEE. OF WALES* SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Shropshire Sunday School Society, in Aid of th9 Sunday School Society for Ireland. Tire Antrim! Meeting ol ihe Subscribers and Friends to this ! ns'ii iition look place in the Town Hall, Shr> ws- bury, rai Thursday ; the'. Earl ol' lyoden, President of i! « « • » I'aieiil Society',- io the chair. His Lordship, in opening the business of ( he day, expressed the treat satisfaction he felt in being called upon to preside over an Instil Mion which, under the blessing of God, had been more inslriimenial than any other MI diffusing scriptural knowledge in l- rela'tid, hich knew no distinction of sect or party, aud whose sole obji cls were to disseminate throngh that Island the name of our Lord aud Saviour Jesus Cinisl, as the only ttun. e given under heaven by which meneo. tild be saved — to assert the truth as it is iu Jesus Chiisit — & to cause ti. e childien of that conntry to be brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The beneficial effects of Sunday School teaching were not confined to the humbler classes more particularly contemplated in the society's benevolent efforts, but were extended to the if ache rs themselves; and he could himself testify thai he had derived the most essential benefit from those poitions of histime that had been occupied iti tlie duties of a Sunday School teacher. R. PHAYUB, Esq. Secretary of the Shropshire Socie- ty, then readlhe Report, as follows ; — " ll is onr happiness to live in an age and country distinguished by benevolent exertion. Efforts to impart ihe blessings of Christianity are making, on a sc. de of unparalleled magnitude, a! home and abroad, irtid it has pleased Almighty God to vouchsafe cone sponding- measures of success, " Ireland, a country related to us by the closest ties of political consanguinity, has enjoyed no small share of these philanthropic labours. Public institutions have been formed,- operating on1 various plans, to raise the inhabitants of that land'in the scale of intelligence, morals, and religion. Among these " The Sunday School Society for belaud" holds a distinguished rank. The benefits of a system of christian instruction, which has been long found of incalculable importance in Great Britain, have been widely diffused among the peasantry of the Sister Island. Many thousands of estimable persons are enabled to teach the w ay of holi ness and life to iheir less privileged neighbours, and many ten thousands of children and adults are instruct- ed in the knowledge of Cod and his wiil who otherwise would have remained ignorant of the Divine WOK). u For a considerable time Shropshire has contributed liberal aid to this- society. During1 the past \ ear the treasurer of your county auxiliary, has received in donations £ 8. 17s. Od. ; in subscriptions £ 73. Is. Od.; making a total "( including a balance of i3s. Od. remain- ing in hand from the former year) of £ 82 1 Is. Gd. Of this? sum lis, ( id. has been paid for incidental ex penses, and the remaining £ 82 has been remitted to the Parent Society. " 11" is earnestly hoped thai', as the merits of the insti- tution come to he more generally known in this town and country, the amount of contribution* in its support will be considerably increased, and that it will proceed, under ihe blessing of heaven, in friendly co- operation with other Societies having generally the same object in view, until its designs for the improvement of Ireland are fully attained." The Earl of RODEN took the opportunity of slating, that he had received a letter from llie Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, expressing his regret thai he could not attend the meeting of the society, which, however, had his warmest approbation. The Hon. THOMAS KENYON, on rising to move that the Report should be printed^ said he was sure the objects of the society would be warmly supported by the inhabitants of this county, who were, he could safely assert, most anxious to promote every institution that had in view the benefit of Ireland. J. N. COFFIN, Esq, ( Secretary to the Society for England), in seconding the motion of Mr. Kenyon, said, the society was formed for the purpose of establishing Sundav Schools throughout Ireland, and for the pur- pose of educating: the children of the poor in religious knowledge, by famishing them Willi, aud teaching them to read, the Holy Scriptures without note or com- ment : they had no political object in view, and they only hoped, under the divine blessing-, to be the medium of promoting, by legitimate means, the moral and spiritual regeneration of the Sister Kingdom. It was truly gratifying to say, that the society could now, in the language of congealillation, praise and bless God for tlie success of the past year ; and they might now confidently look forward in the hope that still greater effects would continue to he . progressively produced, ll had often heen thought proper to lead the friends of the society to hopes of future prosperity ; but to- day they would hear of fields already while for the harvest, of fruits already gathered, and of the assurance of a great and abundant prospect of future success ; and as, in his wisdom, the Almighty had been pleased to operate by human agency in aid of human wants, how thankful ought they to he for the prosperity that had shone upon their eff'oits. The society commenced its operations in 1809, at which period there were only 73 Sunday schools in operation' in Ireland, and at the end of that year 2 only were added to its connection ; on the 15th of January last, there were 1945 Sunday schools and 163,484 scholars iu connection with the institution. In the eight months that had elapsed since that period, 162 more Schools had been brought into union wilh tlie society. Out of the total number of the scholars, 73,684 are reading ihe Word of God ; 25,133 are adults ; and about .70,000 of the whole have never received any other education than what these schools have afforded, Mr. C. then proceeded to enumerate the comparative increase of Ihe schools in the several provinces of Ireland ; from which it appeared that in Minister they made the least progress. Throughout Ireland 14,404 teachers were affording their gratuitous aid to the society's operations; many of these ranked among the nobility, gentiy, and clergy of the kingdom, and their labours not only deserved ihe praise of those who were joined in the same good work, hut of the politician also, for they brought together the rich and the poor, the high and the low, and were thus ihe means of creating a right feeling and good understand- ing between all classes. In the province of Minister the society had met with great difficulty, owing to the opposition of the Roman Catholic priesthood, and to the great mass of the people being- of lhat communion, and consequently ignorant ofthe scriptures. The com- mittee had therefore sent a gentleman as their agent into that province, to wait upon the nobility and gentry, and call their attention to the great importance of the society's efforts; and such had been the success of his mission, that, many schools were immediately formed. If this plan of sending agents into the country were followed up, the most astonishing results would take place; and the society had determined to pursue it when possessed of ihe means. The society, too, would be found to act as a Bible society, for, through their schools, more than 13,000 biblps," 180,000 testaments, antl nearly 500,000 spelling- books abounding wiih scriptural extracts, were now in the hands of the poor of Ireland, not of the children only, htit, by their means, among tbe patents of these child ren also. It was g'iveil in evidence hy a Roman Catholic, before the committee of Parliament, that the Roman Catholic peasant of Minister could not distinguish a Bible from any other book ; and he need not say to a British assembly, that where the Bible was unknown, there would the tra- ditions and dogmas of men abound. Wherever the Sunday schools had made progress, the result was apparent iu ihe improved morals and habits of the people, in the reverence of the sabbath, in attendance nt church, and in a due observance of the laws of God and man : for they all must know how little the sab- bath was observed, aud what disorders obtained, under the domination of an unseriptnral church. Yet it had been the fashion to speak of the efforts of this society as chimerical, as a crusade ; hut if it was a . crusade to attempt to expel ignorance by the legitimate means of scriptinal education,— if it was a crusade to teach men that they were bom either for eternal happiness or for . eternal misery,—- if it was a crusade to endeavour to deprive ignorance and sin of their otherwise numerous victims, then the friends of this society would plead guilty to the charge, and if this were guilt, he trusted they should lie siill more vile. They were charged wiih being slirreis- up of the people; and lie trusted they had roused them to think for themselves on those points that were of the greatest importance to every rational and accountable being. When they saw that ihe wounds of Iheir countrymen were of a description the must deadly sote, should Ihey be justified in passing by without poiniug in them that wine and oil which Mere possessed by themselves in rich abundance? When they saw the vessel in the hands of ignorant pilots, were they to stand silently by, and see it stranded in darkness and beaten hy storms, under the guidance of those who had thrown overboard ihe true compass— the Bible, which would afford them light and safety here, and direct them to eternal glory hereafter ? As to the opposition which had been manifested against their efi'otls, what had it done? It had elicited the truth ; for as the divine, light- of the gospel could not suffer by the ordeal, the effect had been to place ils glorious truths in more prominent view. While otheis were talking of party and of proselytism, they might rejoice that a spirit of enquiry had gone forth, and which, he misted, would continue to increase, until Ireland enjoyed that liberty wherewith Christ had made us free. As servants of the Lord, Ihey should stand between the dead and the living, and solicit thai the plague may be stayed. Whalevt r might be the measure of the talents possessed by any ' individual, the sole condition was—" Occupy till 1 come ;" and that time would shortly come wiih every one, when the Mas: er would say—" Give an account of ihy steward- ship, f> r thou niayest be no longer steward." Arid in Ihe spirit of the divine record he would therefore say lo the friends of this society, " Whatever ihy hand fincleih to do, dy it quickly." R. A. SLANEY, Esq. M. P. said lie gave his Cordial support lo the society because he believjid it had no party or sectarian views, but was intended to benefit the whole human race. The great find noble super- structure of British superiority was raised on the deep- rooled foundation of scriptural education ; and it was 11 known, that of the several divisions of the British empire, Scotland far surpassed England in information, w hile, as to lieland he dare not glance nt a comparison. Among thp Parliamentary Returns on ihe subject of Education, there was one from a Scotch Minister, who id, " Sn this part of Scotland we have no Sunday schools, and we vtfaiit. none ; for here, on the sabbath- day, every house is a school, and every parent is the teacher. ' He, therefore, hailed this society in its efforts for the benefit of lie I arid; for working, as il would, calmly, silent! y< he had almost said secretly, a revolution in the Sister Kingdom, its effect would be to diffuse the great leading principles of Protestantism, for which our great Reformers had suffeied every privation — the right of every man to have the scriptures in his native lan- guage, and to read them for himself. Mr. Slaney pro- ceeded to eulogise the benefits derived from the assist- ance of females in the w ork of instruction, and concluded bv ex pressing- the warm interest he felt iu the Success of the society's efforts. The Rev. Dr. SINGER, after expressing his satisfac- tion at meeting such an assembly, said it was most, true that Ihe vast domain of Christian Philanthropy knew no hound, and therefore the adage that charity should be- gin at home, must not be taken to imply that it should also remain ihere. In viewing the va'a't effort* that had been made by British means to disseminate the Scrip- tures, it might he a matter of wonder that Ireland, their neighbour, should stiil remain in such a state of degrada- tion*- and he must say, that if any country had a right to appeal for British assistance, from Ireland that ap- peal should be made. After being connected with En•> laud for 700 years— alter being- connected with Protestant England for 300 years- Ireland was yet prostrate iu the bonds of superstition and ignorance, and bleeding at every pore. Her voice had, however, been heard, not in the voice of the demagoOe, though she hail : demagogues, at which, indeed, the most timid might laugh the call of Ireland had heen for ihe scriptures and for scriptural education. The cry of " Come over, and help us," had been heard from East to West and front North to South ; and as the generosity of England had been heretofore wafted lo the shores of Ireland, in answer to'the prayers of her people, so they had again come lo solicit their prayers and their benevolence, in the cause, not of Ireland alone, but of mankind in general'-*. not of their fellow- men only, but of their brethren and fellow- subjects. They were all as. it We re mariners iu a common vessel, and if one portion were to remain mutineers, the ship might be endangered, if nol destroyed. The prejudices that had once existed in the inindsof pretended philosophers against education had disappeared. Men saw lhal inasmuch as the taos'T powerful and beautiful piece of machinery was superior lo the implements used in savage life, so was a cultivated and educated nation superior to an ignorant one. Even in Ireland, ihey knew and felt the superiority which education had conferred upon England, and for thai reason the people of Ireland besought the English nation to confer upon them a portion of their intellectual power, in order lo effect a great and thorough renova- tion in she laud ; and although, he doubted not, all there present were friends of social order, yet he would not hesitate to say the object of the Sunday School society was lo effect a moral revolution. There might be doubts in sonie minds as to one, species of emancipation, but they were for effecting an emancipation— a revolution — that would confer upon the people ihe blessings of lhat liberty with which Christ willed that they should he made free. The education ofthe people of Ireland was most important, whether considered in a religious, a moral, or a political point of view. In the north of Ireland, where the inhabitants were chiefly descended from natives of Scotland, they possessed their aboriginal habits of morality, love of education, subordination, and christian liberty, and there industry, wilh the arts and sciences, flourished, and there, from the palace lo the cottage, were lo be found those w ho adorned the doctrine of God their Sa viour in all things. Their society sought to diffuse these scenes generally throughout Ireland; and to this end the Sunday School system must inevita- bly tend : it taught the people to reverence the shbbalb, and the mode of teaching, by directing the attention to the Book of God, taught the humbler classes to look to the Almighty only as a refuge and consolation under every distress, and to the Redeemer as an anchor for the soul within the veil, sure and stedfast. The system, loo, was ihe cheapest and most effective for Ireland that could be devised ; they wanted no snperintendance but ihe local teachers; no funds, but the few pence requi- site to purchase their scriptural books; Ihey required no salaries for masters,— a willing mind, and a desire lo tie useful, were the teacher's qualifications. Ireland was a poor country, and therefore any plan requiring a large outlay, would not answer. The system was simple, and hence also it best suited llie country ; for as the teachers were, of necessity, for the most part composed of the middle and humbler classes, and in a country where no one ought to tie itlle during iSie six days, ihe system did not interfere with the proper pursuits of business; and for this reason it was heller calculated lo encounter the opposition which il continued to receive from the teachers of the leading sect of ihe country There were in Ireland, as elsewhere, many sects, and the society, in its endeavour to be useful to all, wished to unite them as much as possible without sacrificing the opinions or prejudices of any. Their schools were therefore, sometimes under ihe superintendence of Churchmen, sometimes of Dissenters, and they rejoiced lo meet ihem as friends and as brethren, and lo join with them in furthering the objects of the society. Their teachers performed their duiies gratuitously ; the sociely bribed no oue lo assist its efforts ; ihey asked no one lo assist them, unless he felt it his duty so; to do They bail been offered a Parliamentary grant of money hut they refused it, lest they should relax in their ex ertious, and from an apprehension that their teachers might expect to be paid for their services. As the system of the society was at present constituted, ihey looked forward only lo voluntary aid, and to Ihe blessing of that God who for their sakes had become poor, thai they, through his poverty, might he made rich. The committee of the society while it gave a general super, intendence, lefl the local details of the schools to the several teachers; and hence arose a degree of exertion and attention, which no other means could excite, and thus, too, was an intercourse created between the teachers of the higher ranks and the scholars, that must have the most beneficial tendency, and which was silently generating consequences the most important lo the order and well- being- of the community. In En, land there was in every direction a resident gentry patronizing and employing the poor; but in Ireland the mansion of the gentleman seldom sheltered the cottage of ihe peasant. In the late period of distress, w hen the benevolent hand of England was stretched forth to the aM of Ireland in so liberal a manner, whole districts of people perished of want aud misery, because there was no resident gentleman, no leading character, lo make their peculiar wants known ; and lliis calamity would appear more dreadful, when ihey considered how grati- fying it was to a poor man, in the period of distress, to know that the rich man shared his feelings, and was anxious lo minister to his wants— and to know that these unb. oughl gifts were bestowed for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. The effect progressively resulting from the system of this society would establish that degree of iniercoufse between the various ranks of society, which would eventually place Ireland on its proper footing— ihe rich would be brought into contact with the poor — the poor would regard the rich, not as enemies, but as benefactors— and one spirit of improvement and peace would pervade the land from Cape Clear to Carrick- fergus. Tiie ease with which adult education was connected wiih ihese Sunday schools was another bright feature in their character. In many instances children became the teachers of their parents at home, and in others they were seen going hand in hand to ihe Sunday schools. " Some time since ( said Dr. S ) one of the best specimens of genuine Irish character made his appearance in my chambers in the College in Dublin/ He said he had been in the habit of attending certain controversial sermons, where lie heard something which he coiiid not properly understand; so he went lo his priest to get an explanation. Nol being satisfied with what explanation the priest offeied, he came to me to have his doubts settled, aud I gave him such informa- tion as my humble ability afforded. I asked him if he could read ? when, with the true Irish feeling of letting his words go before his understanding, he replied, * Oh, Sir, 1 would give my eyes that I could read!' ( Laughiei.) I told him I was afraid the qualification he so much desired would he of little use to him if he wanted his eyes ( laughterJ; but, in conclusion, I direeled him to a Sunday School, where, some time after, 1 saw him reading the New Testament, and erecting his giant shoulders among a parcel of litile elves scarce higher than his knees; and he continued resolutely to receive instructional that school, although he was iii Consequence dismissed from his employment, deserted by all his friends, and lefl dependent upon one indivi; dunHV> r even the means of existence." Such was the natural desire ofthe Itish peasantry loget instruc- tion when freed from those bonds wherewith superstition has enthralled them ; and if opportunity only were afforded, it would be seen that il was not the fault of the Irish poor if they went down to ihe grave in ignorance ; and lhat if there was a famine of ihe Word of God, it was not the fault of those to whom it was most desirable the life of that word should be afforded ; for the poor of Ireland would hail the benefits of the Gospel as did the nations hear Ihe Pole the returning- HID. One feature of the society there was lhal de- manded- their attention. He would not conceal the fact that considerable opposition had been made to if, and occasionally with success. That opposition proceeded from the Roman Catholic priesthood ; but it was scaicely possible for them to oppose these schools wiih success, when all the influential part of the comuiuuity were not only favourable to them, but were actually employ ing themselves as teachers in them. When the poor man found lhat his landlord and his wealthy neighbours supported them, he would leani to disre- gard the spiritual mandate of h^ piiest; and this was already shewn in the extraordinary increase in the number of schools. Their system belonged not to a sector to a party, but to the universal church of Christ, and hy teaching men lo hallow the sevenlh day, il laid the best andsmest ' foundation fur the dire employment of the other six. The society acted also as a Bible society, and in doing so met an objection made to other modes of circulating ihe scriptures, for by ils system they were not only circulated, bul care was taken lhat they should also be read ; they saw them used by the children, and as the children were permitted to carry them home to the cabins of their parents, iu order to learn their weekly lessons, they became instrumental to the edification of those parents, as was clearly exem- plified iu their improved lives and conversation. To this society, then, he invited the cordial co- operation oi all ranks. The Clergy were especially called upon to assist them ; for a christian minister weil knew lhat a Sunday school was the best assistant io his labours. The Laity were invited to join them, because sociely at large would reap abundant benefits from their exer- tions. The Ladies were invited to join them, because to them was religious education of the greatest import- ance, and through them was it most frequently imparl- ed, for many things there were that none hut a mother could leach; and what would be their feelings, if iheir children were taken from them, deprived of religious instruction, and cast, upon the world in a stale of ignorance and despair ?— for sueh; 6 alas,! was the fate of countless multitudes in Ireland^ j& jjo walked without a beacon to guide them in the wtf- j^ TSW without any lan- tern to direct iheir steps. Indeed, it Was not now a question whether the people should be educated ; for that would lake place. Systems of education were set forth, and mechanical and other institutions had been fwind'ed', for the purpose of instructing the people. It depended now upon the sense of the community; whe- ther the people should be religiously educated, or whether they should have education without religion;- — and if they did n£> f give religion with education, they would, in effect, be only placing a sword in the hand of a madman— a spirit would he generated that would not only unsettle their institutions, but, figuratively speak- ing, would uproot the globe itself. He knew, however, that those Whom he was addressing had hearts which could feel for the situation of the poor of Ireland— that they had a spirit of benevolence as judicious as it was extensive; and as there was a channel for their bene - volence a' 3 unbounded as it was worthy, he besought them to let it go forth till it had carried a Bible, and Ihe power to read it, into every cottage in Ireland. The Rev. C. A. A. LLOVD ( Rector of Whiiringfon) said, all who had studied the history of Ireland must agree lhat that nation was in Ihe most rude, savage, and uncultivated state, and that Popery was one of the great causes why Ireland remained in this stale of degradation; for Popery had the same effect in all countries where it was predominant. He, therefore," hoped ibis society would be instrumental in pulling Popery down ; because ihe teachers of Popery Used every means to keep the Bible out of the hands of the people, in order that they may teach whatever opinions they chose to instil. The effect of such teaching might be learnt by a reference to ihe Bible itseif,- w here Ft is said—" If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Tbe Popish religion carries upon iltr face Ihe true mark of its genuine description : for as the scripture saith—" Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, arid of that which is to come;" when ihey found the maW of Ihe people existing in misery under such a religion, they may reasonably infer theirs was not the true faith. " II every country where the Bible had a free course, the state of the people was improved ; and this was exemplified in a remarkable manner in the Swiss anions, where the Papist and Protestant districts had in some places only a brook, and in . others but a road to divide them ; yet on the Popish side misery and degradation abounded, while on the other side of tiie brook or road all things were enjoyed in the com forts of decency, morality, and religion. It was their duty, lhew, to aid every society that had-'" for its object the dissemination of scriptural knowledge ; for until Popery was thrown down in its strongholds, nothing could he done for ihe benefit of Ireland, The degraded slate of Ireland had forced itself upon ihe attention even of ihe humblest classes in England, where it was read by the labourers in the multitudes who offered themselves to work at such reduced rates, as to prevent the English labourer obtaining that remuneration in harvest- time, of which he was wont to avaii himself, iu order to make a reserve again the short days and inclement season of winter. It became, therefore, the duty of every one fo assist in plans for the benefit and amelioration of Ireland ; and that plan which went most to the de- struction of Popery was best calculated to raise tiie people from their degraded state. The religion of Popery was totally different from that of Protestantism; for the Papists taught the people to rely . on their/ own merits and the efficacy of their church, instead of teaching them to rely on the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ, which was the graud' leading doctrine and principle of lhe authors of tbe Reformation. The Rev. L. FOOT, in addressing the meeting, com me need with a detail of ihe economy of the Institution ; ond observed that the Irish Sunday School Sociely was the only one of the numerous Pubiic Institutions of lhat country that had passed the ordeal of the Parliamentary Commission of Enquiry without a single objection ; and that Commission had contained Members of tho Estab- lished Church, the Dissenting Body, and the Romish Communion. His reverend friend had, in allusion lo the stale of the Irish poor, referred to the custom of those Northern nations who ascend the tops of ihe highest mountains to await and to welcome ihe return of the sun, and the consequent commencement of their vernal season. And surely those who wished live spread of gospel light, must hail the. dawn of this society on the benighted people of Ireland ; and those w ho opposed its progress may with justice he numbered among those who love darkness rather than light. The friends of mankind at - large must rejoice to see every line of political demarcation vanishing before ihe march of scriptural education. In a country where the minds of men are left in ignorance, there wiil always be an innate, undefinino desire of change, and the people will he most easily misled by daringand factions tneit; hut in a country, where they are taught by the scriptures to love one another, even as God the Father loveth them, such dangers will never have foundation- He ( Mr. Foot) had been recently invited to a meeting at Bristol, where the subjects of discussion were the doctrines and practices of ihe Church of Rome and the Stale of Ireland ; and such was the feeling excited on that occasion, that £ 600 was subscribed in four days, in furtherance of the great objects which the Sunday School sociely had in view. They had been told that, in a recent period of calamity, whole - districts had perished for want of one lhat had ability sufficient to make known their temporal distress; and he must add, that whole districts were now perishing for lack of scriptural knowledge ; ihey had, however, raised the cry of " Come over, arid help us," and when it was made known that their want was the all- important one of a Saviour, a Mediator, and a Redeemer, it was one that, he was sure, would enforce upon every Brilish heart the necessity of affording- assistance. The Rev. WILLIAM U. RWICX said, when be first received the invitation to attend this anniversary meet- ing as one of the deputation from the Patent Society, he felt some hesitation at giving his assent to the request — not from any doubt that he had as to the stale of Ireland, or of the value of the institution, but because he felt the force of that maxim which says a prophet is of no honour in his own country. Seeing, however that he was to be accompanied by such able coadjutors, he fell that, lie could no longer object to undertake his share in the proceedings of the day, In rising, as he did, to support a vote of thanks, he must express his acquiescence in lhat opinion which teaches thai such votes of thanks are not to be considered of any value, if they were to terminate, where they ha ve thvir Commence- ment, and lhat all expressions of gratitude are of little worth but as they are tra usm. it led through all heavens to lhal Mediator by whom they are conveyed to ihe Giver of every good and perfect gift Still, it must he recollected ih al the religion of the Bible was in nowise intended to sel aside the courtesies of life; and he, therefore, in addressing the thanks of the meeting to those Ladies to vvhom the society was so much indebted, intreated them not to look upon the humble individual who conveyed those thanks to them in any other light than as the representative of the recipients of their bounty scattered throughout ali the provinces of Ire- land— as the representative of 1945 schools— as the representative of 14,404 Sunday school teachers— and as the representative of more than 164,000 hhh ehil dren, who thereby received instruction in the Word of God and the means of redemption. That Ireland needed assistance to raise it from its present state of ignorance, misery, and degradation could never he questioned by auv oue who had witness, ed the scenes that were there daily and hourly occur- ring. The only question was, what means could Brilish philanthropy and religion best devise to raise the Sister K ing- dom from its fallen coudiljou ? The... was in Ireland a system of religion, arrogating to itself the name of Christian, which century after century had ruled over the people, and claimed to be the depository ofthe true faith, aud— he spoke not politically — what had been the result? He called upon them to Took at Ireland as it is, as it had been century after century ; and having done so, lie would ask them whether, as had been most justly observed by a reverend gentleman thut hail preceded him, ihey had not a test of ihe system in the spiritual declaration,' thai " Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is. and of that w hich is lo coine r" Year after year had the legislature been occupied with questions of Irish Pel icy j proposition after proposition had been ad- vanced, discussed, and abandoned, by political econo- mists and by those conversant with Ihe government of Empires ; but all that had been brought to bear in that country was totally inefficacious as a means of placing it iu lhat position which, as an integral portion of the Empire, it ought to occupy. Military force had been tried ; ihe British militias, too, had been q- uartered in, and an armed police spread over, the country ; but in vain ; and vain would be all such uieans wlieie the real evil of the country was religions debasement. One means, however, was now in operation in that country, w hich iu it few years would shew how vast wn's the force of Bible truth. Let ihe truths of the Scriptuie only have free course, and fie had no doubt of the result being such as to manifest the power and efficacy of the glorious gospel of God. It was their happiness to know that in Britain and in Ireland various institutions had been formed, w hich, though differing in name, bad still in view ihe common object of giving moral emanci- pation to the Irish people. The Bible Society, simple in its formation, but powerful in its effect, was silently working its way, and would never cease until every cabin in Ireland possessed the Word of God. The Tract and Book Society was engaged in promoting reading among all classes, by forming depositories in districts where a hook- shop never existed, and by fur- nishing such religions tracts as gave instruction in the paths of righteousness and salvation where oral in strnetion never could obtain access. Then there was the Kildare- street Society, the Hibernian Society, and the Irish Evangelical Society or Missionary Society for Ireland, with many more thai he could number, ' not acting in a spirit of rivalry to each other, but all intent on the common object, through their respective chan- nels, of conveying scriptural knowledge to the inhabit- ants of the Sister Kingdom. Standing there, as he did that day, in the character of a friend to ihe Sunday School Sociely of Ireland, he would, as a resident of Ireland, give his humble testi- mony of approbation, and of concurrence in all that had been adduced iu its favour. His friend, Mr. Foot, had observed, that this society was the only one That had received the unqualified approbation of the Parlia- mentary Commissioners. Those commissioners had nol only examined witnesses on the subject, but had visited the schools in various parts of the country in propria persona; and their testimony, transmitted as it was throngh the Sovereign to Parliament, and ihenc. e to the public, was, he conceived, of no mean importance : it would, perhaps, appear still more valuable when it was considered that one of ihe commissioners was an intelli- gent and decided Roman Catholic. In their first Report,; page 65, these commissioners said — il It is impossible to witness ihe proceedings of these schools, even in the most cursory manner, without- per- ceiving their beneficial tendency. The influence on moral character which has already been produced in those parts of Ireland, where institutions of this kind have been formed, is attested by undoubted authority. A marked improvement in principle and conduct, an increased respect to moral obligation, a more general observance of relative duties, and a greater deference to the laws', are invariably represented as among ihe fruits of the education there received ; and we entertain no doubt'that it is one of fhe most powerful instruments for raising the character, and advancing the general welfare of the people. i "' Among the benefits which result generally from flie exertions of the Sunday School society, we think it important to notice those . which are produced by the increased intercourse, and fhe more near approach which these institutions are the means of producing between the: different classes of the people. A mutual attach- ment and interest is created between the teacher and the pupil, which is productive of benefit, vvhBs Ihe course of instruction continues, and is not likely to terminate with the occasion which gives rise to il.- It ji( fords a new arid powerful incitement for good conduct, the effects of which are not Confined to the scholar/ and which, by tending to remove prejudice and to conciliate regard, is necessarily productive of improvement to the general state of society." But he referred not nierely to the verdict of these gentlemen, important as it vvas, in favour of the society ; for he would- refer lo the verdict of the intelligent and religious classes throughout the kingdom in favour of the system generally ; and lie Would" in Treat any friend of their great cause to come oyer to tfieir institution in Sackville- street, Dublin, where they would receive a cordial welcome and every information as to the society's state and proceedings ; then let them traverse Ireland, and, if their feelings would permit,- let them witness the scenes of moral degradation there existing in every direction; and he pledged himself they would return fully persuaded of the efficacy of, and need for, Ihe society, and anxious to do every thing, in their power for its support; Scotland had been referred to, as an example for their imitation : but it was not always so. Before the Union with England- rbefore Ihe year 1696, such was the de- graded condition of that country, that according to the most authentic historians, between 100,000and 200,000 of the people were living in a slate of the Utmost ig- norance and barbarism, in total disregard both of the laws of God and of man. In 1696 was passed that memorable Act, which the last Parliament of Scotland bequeathed as a noble legacy to their nation — Hie Act for establishing a scriptural school in every parish. From that moment Scotland look her rise, and never would she fall, until she forgot the Bible anil the reli- gion of the Bible, by either relapsing into a state of ignorance, or by adopting that false but creature- inflating philosophy, which, if set in the place of the Scriptures, would lead to certain misery and destruction. Pursuing, then, the sciiptuial system of instruction in Ireland, they looked forward to the most signal sneeess: arid, taking iheir sian. d on the common ground of t> jirisfia-. it benevolence— and on that bond of t; • ion, which » proposed by England, and receiving the concur- rence of Ireland, had identified in one common weal both nafi'o. ns, the friends of Ireland would plead for her participation in those advantages which Great Britain so richly possessed. On the broad grounds of political and national interest, it " as of great importance that Ireland should stand o » . 1 level with every other depart- ment of ihe Stale; for th£ realization of such a result would be an unbounded augmentation of the resources, greatness, and power ofthe United . Kingdom. Again, on the ground of natural obligation, as war- ranted by ihe scriptural declaration whic » '.\ deemed lhat man a murderer, who contemptuously said, Am I my brother's keeper?" lie would, as an EnglishniH/', S!\ v lhat Great Britain was under no common obligation the people of Ireland The Rev. EDWARD WILLIAMS, in moving the ap- pointment of Guardians of the Society, said, he felt glad ofthe opportunity of expressing his regard for the nociety, and his anxious zeal for the promotion iu every- way of scriptural knowledge as exemplified iu the gos- p. el of our Lord Jesus Christ.— The Rey. JOHN RICHARDS also, in a short but feeling- address, expressed similar sentiments. The business of the day being concluded, the Earl of Roden vacated the chair, and the Hon. Thomas Kenvon was called thereto— Thanks wefe then unanimously given to the Eari of ROOEN, who, in acknowledging ihe tribute paid, said, he had his full reward in having ihe honour of being placed in the situation of Patron of the Society — whieh gave promise of being of the greatest value to the general interests of the fiatfou, but more especially to lhat people to whom he was afla'ched by every tie of birth and connection; and although the opposition Ihey received from the Roman Catholic priesthood was of a determined kind, yet they had the full assurance that HE that was for them was infinitely greater than al! that Could be against thein^ and in this assurance they would continue to persevere, knowing- thai if they were not weary in well- doing, their labour would not be iu vain. The assembly then broke up.— The Hall during the whole of the proceedings was crowded to excess bv one ofthe most respectable assemblages ( chiefly females) that ever took possession of its ample space — The several speakers were frequently cheered in ihe delivery of iheir addresses ; which, with the business ofthe day, appeared to have excited a warm interest in favour of ihe Institution. i& ttecellaneotig ImMUgence* The Gloucestershire Pitt Club had their annual meeting ou the 23d nit.; ihe Hon. H W. Bathursr, in the chair. — Among the company present were the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Edward Somerset. Lord John Somer- set, Lord Ashley, Lord Apslev, Sir W. Hicks, Bart. Sir A. Wilson, T. G. Estconrt," Esq. M. P. R. Bransby Cooper, Esq. M. P. General Molyneux, & c. & c. In proposing the health of the Duke of Wellington, the Hon. Chairman said, that notwithstanding the calumnies with which the Noble Duke had been assailed, he rose superior lo them all ; that it was a matter of general congratulation that his Grace was again at ihe head of ihe Army, by which, when he was in Ihe field, ihe day was hailed as one of victory ; not a single defeat could he recorded in history to sully his victories, nor one blot to darken the horizon of his political life. The health of R. Bransby Cooper, Esq. M. P. was afterwards proposed. Mr. Cooper, in reluming thanks, said, that he was alwavs anxious to'attend the Anniversary. meeting of the Club, in commemoration of the illustrious States- man, Mr. Pitt; and especially at the present ciptioal state of affairs, when it was of lire utmost importance to show a determined resolution to maintain the principles of lhat great man, and to unite in the support of the in- tegrity of the Constitution in Church and State, of Loy- alty and Religion. — Mr. Cooper took occasion to notice what had heen Mr. Pill's view in respect to Catholic Emancipation; the main feature of which was, that it should not be granted without aniple security to the Established Church; and observed, that it was satis- factory to know, that his present Majesty adopted the conduct of his revered Father, and holds lhat the Coro- nation Oath can bear no other construction than that which was put on it by Ihe venerable George the Third. Mr. Cooper said, he hoped that the successors of the highly gifted individual w ho had lately paid fhe debt of nature, would not only adopt the principles of Mr. Pitt, but steadily pursue them; that they would tread in the footsteps of a Liverpool, a Bat hurst, an - Eldon, antl a Peel ; and, fey so doing, they would best uphold the stability of onr Constitution in Church and State ; pro- mote the w ealth, the greatness, and glory of the country ; the welfare and moral and religious improvement of every rank in society, aud would ensure the continued blessings of Providence on themselves, on us, and on postf rity. Another proof of the danger of having anything to do with Joint Stock Companies was exemplified at ihe late Stafford Assizes. Three Gentlemen acting for tbe British Mining Company put chased of Mr. Alt wood some estates, ironworks? collieries, & c. for' the sum of £ 600,000, tbe latter allotting £ 325,000, part of tbe purchase money, to remain at interest^ which interest uot being paid by tbe Company, ri Jury was empanelled at Stafford to fry whetheif £ 16,000 ( oue year's interest) was not due to Mf, Attwood by the three gentlemen to whom the mixi'tS were sold; and after a tedious trial, of no public interest but in the result, tbe Jury found-— first, lhat the iuterest was due ; secondly, that the Company was not in existence al tbe time the bargain was made ; and, thirdly, that the sale was made to the defendants in their individual capacity, and on their individual credit.— The remedy of the defendants oa this verdict is against the Company at large, of which Mr. Altwood is a shareholder; and though he may bje called oil to idemnify the original purchasers as well as others, he must receive his money in the first instance, and it is a fearful matter to encounter, in a doubtful suit, snch an opponent, with half a million in his pocket!— London paper. The Ecclesiastical Governor of the Archbishopric of Lima has, by the desire of the Government, published an Edict, abolishing a great number of Roman Catholic holidays ( lo the number of 31), retaining only 12 of the principal, besides Sundays. The Edict says, that these holidays, instead of being consecrated to divine service, were spent in idleuessf vice, and debauchery. STATE OF TIIE METROPOLIS.— The Rev. Rd. Yates, in^ a letter to Lord Liverpool, under the ex- pressive title, " The Church in Danger," shews, by diligent, and as far as we can judge, accurate re- search, " that within a circuit of about eight miles around the city of London, by the present distri- bution and circumstances of the parishes, after al- lowing- to each chnrch a proportion more than suffi- cient to till it,, and quite if not more than equal to the parochial care of the clergy at present allotted to the charge? there is found to remain a surplus population of nine hundred and fifty- three thousand, excluded from the benefits and advantages of parti- cipating in the instructive public worship and pas- toral superintendence of the Established Churefcv This nnmbe? exceeds ( by upwards of 6,000), the entire population of the nine counties— Hertford^ shire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire^ Dorsetshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Hun- tingdonshire, and Cambridgeshire, containing six- teen hundred and fifty- two parish churches. If we suppose ihe surplus population of the metropolis district just noticed, to be so distributed as actually to occupy the entire space of these nine counties,, and to be left without a church, without a minister^ without any instruction for either adults or children, without any Divine Worship, without any parochial communion with the established religion of the state; your Lordship will certainly be of opinion, that such a circumstance would attract great atten- tion, and excite a proportionate astonishment and alarm." The New England Farmer says, the cause of ringbone in horses is a small collection of water in the foot just above the hoof, which may be felt by pressing the part affected with ihe finger. A little bag or vessel like a bladder, contains the matter, and if this be carefully cut out, ( the horse being cast t » secure the safety of Ihe operator) ihe disease may b © avoided. The celebrated canal from Canton to Pekin ex- tends in a strait line upwards of 806 miles, having 75 locks, and 41 cities on its banks, and seldom less than 10,000 vessels upon it. It is said to have been 43 years iu constructing, and that 30,000 men were employed in the vvork. It is extraordinary, that among some ofthe first necessaries of li e, competition does not produce its most obvious result, that of lowering prices. Bread, equally good m quality, is at this time selling in the metropolis at from ten to twenty percent, under the general price ; and, notwithstanding wool is so cheap as to be almost a drug in the market, the ge- nerality of people continue to snbmit to pay as much for their clothes as when wool wa& at treble its present price.— English Chronicle. TORTQISESHELL.— The following singularly bar- barous process for obtaining the tortoiseshell, is ab- stracted from an Indian newspaper, called the Singa- pore Chronicle:—- This highly- prized aquatic pro- duction, wheu caught by the Eastern islanders, is suspended over a fire, kindled immediately afler its capture, until such lime as the effect of the beat loosens the shell to such a degree that it can be re- moved with the greatest ease. The animal now strip- ped and defenceless, is set at liberty, to re- enter its native element, lf caught in the ensuing season, or at any subsequent period, it is asserted that the un- happy animal is subjected to a second ordeal of fire, rewarding its captures this time, however, with a very thin shell. This, if true, shows more policy and skill than tenderness iu the method thus adopted by the islanders; it is a questionless proof, loo,' of tenacity of life in the animal, and must further be accounted a very singular fact in natural history. BOXING.— Judge Best continues to give the sanc- tion of his high authority to the manly play of pugilism:— We have had. to report more than one testimony borne by the Learned Judge to the utility of this art. We find another in his charge to the grand jury, at Bridgewater, as follows God forbid that any thing should ever be uttered by rue in encouragement, of fighting ; but, neverthe- To those w ho were proud of | iess> 1 % vil ,, of retract one word of what 1 then said their national greatness, he would say, Ireland had furnished her thousands upon thousands of valiant peasantry, who had fought and bled on the field of battle to add to the wreath of British glory. Ireland, too, had furnished some of the greatest Statesmen that had ever wielded the destinies of Britain ; and need he say that Ireland had given birth to that man, who, hy the general voice of his Sovereign, tiie people, and ihe army itself, now stood at the head of the Brilish Army. Ireland had furnished the Senate with men whose eloquence had astonished the world ; and it had also sent forth those Absentees— and that word brought no euioiion of pleasure to his mind ; for never could Ireland be generally prosperous until absenteeism was done away : Ireland had sent forth those Abseentees, whose agents and sub- agents in too many instances g round the faces of the poor for that wealth, which was spent iu the encouragement of English trade and manufactures : and nil they now asked was, that a small portion should be returned of that which, according to the laws of truth and justice, ought never to have been taken away. It bad heen said, there was a stir, an excitement among the people of Ireland on religious subjects : and he would say there was an united and cordial eo opera- tion among christians of every denomination there lo do all thai could be done for the henefit of the land : ihey stood there, as did those with whom he had then the honour of being associated, united as the advocates of the great ca- iise of God and Truth: their great auxili- aries were the numerous public . institutions of Ireland, and that great interest which ( as was truly said) had been excited ; and which it was the general object to direct, more or less, in every direction for rhe benefit of the people. There had also arisen in Ihe people them- selves a spirit of enquiry, which, if they were at liberty to ask as they felt, would impel them lo demand from their teachers a scriptural education. Let, therefore, these operations only have free course for another half century, arid the fruits would be the happy result which had been ardently couiemplated. Before he sat down, he would observe, that in the present assembly be recognised some of the friends of his childhood, aud some who had been companions of his early years. He would entreat those friends to examine* closely the system and proceedings of the Sunday School society : be would entreat all who then heard him lo do the same; and if ( as he doubled not ihey would) they should find it deserving of support, he trusted they would give it iheir assistance, and not be weary iii well- doing. A flame of religious zeal had been kindled, which he trusted neither apathy nor neglect would he found to diminish, but which, he hoped, wouM continue to increase iu brightness aud intensity, until Ireland really should be, what with some in name it is, but in nature never was, an Island of Saints— until every one of ils inhabitants should not only be a par- taker of the benefits of social and orderly government, • hot endowed with all those graces and blessings of a christian life by which mortals are made wise niiio salvation — until they were not only well- provided with the goods of this world, but adorned wilh lliose christian virtues, by which every Irish man, woman, and child might be recognized as the heir of God and as a joint, heir wiih our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To those before whom he then stood, he would say, in the lan- guage of Holy Wri', and bearing, in view the object for which they were assembled, " There is that seal ten th, find yet iucreaseth ; and there is lhat wiihlToldeili, bul it tendeth io poverty " lu the case before them, what- ever advantage they conferred upon others would, in a corresponding ratio, benefit themselves. for, though fighting is most certainly an evil, it is as ceiv< iin'. y a lesser evil than the revengeful methods adopteJ by other countries. If, indeed, we were able to subdue* human passions, aud bring them to the level of reasoV1' vve wight then hope to get rid alto gether of fighting ; s'".><? e that cannot be the case I do say, that \ L e practice of boxing is much to be preferred to the use o. f knives, or the other deadly weapons that we hear of in oti> r countries : it prevents unfair advantage being taken, o » ;< l, instead of causing the sacrifice of life, it, iu fact, preserves life, and at the same time supports and encourages '', at British spirit, which has raised our glory so high a C01,,- i- nuanee of victories, aud has not only insured » > if own success, but the success of civilized order throng- bo^ 1 the woild." ADVANTAGES OF WORKING OXEN— I have often been surprised, taking into account the ad- vantages and ihe saving, in point of expense, arising from working oxen instead of horses, both in keep and the ultimate returns of profit, that Ihe former in grassy districts are not more employed. 1 have heard it urged against them, lhat they are dull, inactive animals, anil that they cannot do as much work as horses; but 1 know it lo be a fact, that during the present year, a pair of Devons, and occasionally Herefords, harnessed like horses, and driven with reins by the ploughman, ploughed each their acre per day, on the well cultivated farm of Mr Beuetf, at Pylt House, in Wiltshire. After work ihey were merely turned out to graze, without any allowance of either hay or corn. 1 understand lhat in winter, a little green food, with more straw than hay, is given them. Any person prejudiced against oxen ought to visit Pylt House farm, and see what work Ihese patient active animals can do in a day. As the ox cannot bear heat, Mr. Benett, in summer, has his oxtu out al field work before or just at sunrise, and by twelve or one o'clock they have finished theii task for the day ; ibis is only one among many instances of that gentleman's excellent management. Wherever 1 have seen oxen employed, I always w itnessed docility and activity. Last year I saw, in Devonshire, large fields of grain carried to the rick yard in carts, drawn by a pair of oxen, which, afler delivering their load, were trotted back to ibe field. The price of a pair uf oxen is much below the price of a pair of horses, and every year the horse is deteriorating in value, while the ox is improving, and will pay more at last than was first paid for him. The horse is subject lo two hundred and sixty diseases, the ox only to forty- seven ; add to which, Ihe former requires much combing and stable care, and expensive keep, while the latter thrives well, though neglected as to cleanli- ness, aud requires only a sufficient pasture. Undtr these circumstances, I cannot consider ihe farmers of Great Bruaiu right in rejecting the labours of Ihe ox Perhaps on the road ihe horse has ihe advantage; yel even here great profit may be derived in drawing heavy weights by oxen. On soft ground the horse has no advantage: all admit the ox pulls more steadily against obstructions : the horse, ( Veiling on finding them, pulls by sudden jerks, aud does much injury to himself— Communication ( signed J.

HEAD POLICE OFFICE, DUBLIN — In our paper of Saturday, August 18, the following appeared under the awful announcement of 41 Marriages — 4< Ot* the 13th instant, at Gretna green, John Hely H. Grady3 third son of Henry Deaue Grady, Esq. of Merriun- ; qoare, to Helena, youngest daughter of John Richards, Esq. of the county Roscommon."— The circumstances under which this marriage took place, seem to have been of rather an extraordinary character. It is alleged that the young gentleman - ( with tbe many names) eloped from Mr. Crawford's school at Donnybrook, and under ihe protection of his fair inamorato, who is some years older than be is ( about 21), made the best of Iheir way for Scotland, They proceeded, accompanied by some male and female attendants, by Belfast, aud crossing over to Glasgow, they posted direct to the far- famed Grefna- greeiu There were the loving pair united iu the holy bonds of matrimony by tfie High Priest and succcssor of the departed and celebrated Laing. But short are ihe sweets of matrimony ! While the fond lovers were indul ging in the anticipated pleasures of the delightful Honey Moon, the indignant father of the " young gentleman" tendered his informations at the Head Police- office, and applied fur a warrant against the parties. A warrant was immediately issued by tbe Magistrates, and delivered to peace- officer Gilloghly. That extremely active aud intelli- gent officer, taking with him another officer of ihe establishment, lost no lime in pursuing the fugitives. Taking his route through Liverpool, he made for Gretna, by the Carlisle road. He was fortunate enough t » come up with the parties ( who were on their return) about fourteen miles this side of Gretua. He immediately bad the whole party, the two enamoured fugitive sand their attendants, put under arrest. While on their way home, Mr. Grady and bis fair companion slept in the same chamber, and lived together as man and wife. They arrived yesterday by tfee Britannia, from Liverpool, and were landed at the Custom house quay, at two o'clock in tbe afternoon. They were immediately conveyed in a carriage to the Head Office, and there ushesed into a private room. Four o'clock was appointed for the examination, which was to be strictly private. Pre- vious to that time, the friends of Ihe young lady arrived at the office, and she was williout delay admitted to bail— herself in £ 200, and two sureties in £ 100 each, lo answer the charge of Henry Deane Grady, Esq. at the ensuing Commission. The servants were privately examined, and bail, we under- stand, will also be required for their appearance. Mr. Henry Deane Grady, we believe, intends to proceed by indictment against all the parties aiding and abetting, for a conspiracy. Amongst ihem is the mother of Miss Richards, alias Mrs. Grady, from whom bail will be also required. Mr. Grady jun. it is said, will be admitted in evidence against Mrs. Richards. The parties on both sides were highly respectable. The young lady, we have heard it staled, ; yill be entitled to a fortune uf £ 2,000. She is raiher inter^ tiog in appearance, and from tbe light and airy maimer which she tripped up the stairs of the Police Office, company with her husband, she seemed to augur. > best prospects upon this interest- ing occasion. The yon:"? gentleman has an ex- hemely youthful look, indicative or 1> » S age— nut more than sixteen.— Both seem lo be t.: urh . faSgp,} hy their journey. One of the servants, a pi'Jn spoken Paddy, described the expedition in very lud! Jr" us terms.
