HE BALM OF ZURA is not recom- mended indiscriminately for every Disease inci- dent to the tinman Frame ; but for that Class of Diseases which is termed Nervous, it is an absolute Specific; there is rarely a Deviation from Health in which it will not afford Relief. It is to be considered that Nervous Diseases constitute one- third, or perhaps a greater Proportion of the Disorders to which we are liable; it has, therefore, been indisputably proved lhat the Balm of Zura invariably operates on the Nerves, producing the most desirable and sanative Effects, and is of the greatest Service to every one of those Cases for which it is recommended ; it may be given to the tender Infant, the pregnant Female, and palsied old Age, with Safety and Efficacy, hitherto unparalleled in the Annals of Medical Discovery, being a Medicine which will keep in all Climates.

Prior to my addressing you, I had the advice of the Faculty at Plymouth and Tavistock ; hut instead of any beneficial results, I daily grew worse. Having been induced, from the number of cures yon daily performed in this and the surrounding neigh, bourhood, to make applications to you in the year 1823, when I received your advice to continue with your celebrated BALM OF ZURA. I did so, and found myself ( in the course of three weeks) enabled to work as well as ever 1 did in my lift1, to the astonish- ment of my friends and those who kTew me; for which I return you my most grateful thanks, and semi yon this letter for publication, lhat tlie afflicted may reap the benefit of your celebrated Cordial Balm of Znra, which I consider superior lo anv Nervous Medicine offered to the public.

SIR, — It is with infinite pleasure and gratitude that I have to acquaint yon with the success of your truly nvaluable Cordial ' Balm of Ziira, in a case of extreme and confirmed debility. I had but little faith, I must candidly confess, in any thing, having tried for the space of three years almost every remedy that I have seen advertised, but without the least effect; but nothing can exceed Ihe rapture that overwhelmed me, on experiencing such an instantaneous effect as followed the very first dose of your inestimable Medicine; aud long before I had finished two of the 1 Is. bottles, I felt so completely renovated as to excite the wonder and astonishment of all my friends. I absolutely appeared to them as one who rose from the grave by miraculous interposition. Never, my dear Sir, can I hope to make any returns to you for the health ( through the blessing of Providence) conferred upon me, hut as a living reporter of your transceudant skill iu the application of the Cordial Balm of Zura, to cases of such distressing and confirmed debility as mine. If this can be of any service, yon are at liberty to make use of my name and address, for the benefit of others, and, " though last not least," accept, respected Sir, llie humble tribute of a heart deeply imbued with gratitude, and abounding with every good wish for you here and hereafter. From vour's, trulv, . LB. COX, Clerk, Late of St. John's College, Cambridge. JUNE 26, 1824. SIR,— The tnanv unfortunate sufferers who daily fall a sacrifice to the affliction I have so long laboured under, induces me lo make the following public state- ment of my own. I am 35 years of age, and about seven veais since was afflicted in the following almost indescribable manner:— A disordered stomach, harsh and consumptive cough, hoarseness, shortness of breath, tightness on Ihe chest, weakness of both sight and memory, debility of llie whole system, proceeding, no doubt ( as I must confess you ol first sight informed me), from that baneful and solitary vice too often acquired at schools, before reason asserts her rights over Ihe mind. Prior however, to addressing; you, 1 had the first advice of the most eminent of the Faculty, who, whether ihey were ignorant of my case ( as I must acknowledge 1 was at first ashamed to own so disgraceful a disease), or any other cause, the medicines they prescribed availed not in the least lo remove my complaint. After having placed myself under your care, although a mere skele- ton, and by friends advised to refrain from such a plan, yet with the apparent ease you undertook my case, it gave me more hopes than ' I had ever before experi- enced, and with heartfelt thanks tlo I now publicly acknowledge, lhat after being under your care only two months, and continuing the use of your invaluable CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA, such is the present stale of my health, lhat I feel my whole constitution renovated," and my general syslem of bodily infirmity restored to Ihe animation of invigorated Strength. Accept, dear Sir, Ibe heartfelt thanks of one who is indebted lo you for lhat. greatest of human blessings, health; and lhat you may ever enjoy the same, is Ihe sincere prayer of your attached servant, ^ TENBURY, NEAR WORCESTER. oo The Balm of Zura is prepared only hy Dr. LAMERT, and Sold Wholesale and Retail, nt his London Medical Establishment, in Botllesat 4s. 6d.; lis. ; and £ 1 ; a lis.

JUST RECEIVED, BY W. AND J. EDDOWES, SHREWSBURY, A Supply of that inestimable Medicine, Dr. Solomon's celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD, RICH is yeculiarly efficacious in all Inward Wastings, Loss of Appetite, Indi- gestion, Depression of Spirits, Trembling or Shaking of the Hands or Limbs, Shortness of Breath, and Consumptive Habits. It enriches the Blood, eases the most violent Pains in the Head and Stomach, and promotes gentle Perspiration. By the Nobility and Gentry this Medicine is much admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringing the Fibres of the Stomach, and giving that proper Tone which a good Digestion requires. Nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the Constitution when broken by habitual Debauch with Wine, & c. This Cordial is highly esteemed in the East, and West Indies for nourishing and invigorating the Nervous System, and acting as a general Restorative on Debilitated Constitutions, arising from Bilious Com- plaints contracted in hot Climates. Also, the ANTUMPETIGINES, or SOLOMON'S DROPS, an effectual Cure for sucb Disorders as ori- ginate in a depraved Habit of the Body, as Obstinate Eruptions, Undue Evacuations, Chronic Rheumatism, and the Consequences of INSIDIOUS DISEASES. It is a truly mild, safe, and effectual Remedy, and the best Substitute hitherto discovered for that danger- ous Mineral Mercury. It is equally well adapted to both Sexes and all Ages. There are few Families in which its great Utility does not admit of easy Proof, as a Purifier of the Blood and a Promoter of the natural Secretions. Illustrations of fhe Efficacy of the CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD, and of the ANTI- IMPETIGINES, are given in the GUIDE TO HEALTH, which also contains much interesting Information on Health and Disease, parti- cularly on the Origin and Treatment of such Disorders as result from Imprudence and fashionable Vices.

Sir.— In answer to your several letters respecting ihe. late Malt Act, representing the ineonveuiencios which the maltsters in the county of -—— apprehend from its operation, ! am directed to inform voir,, thnt the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury have had the subject repeatedly under their consideration, with view, not only to ascertain the exact ground's of the ap- prehensions which have been expressed, but whether there is any foundation for statements which have been- made, that the persons connected with the malting tr » d, « were not fnlly cognizant of the different provisions irs the bill before it had passed into a law. Their lord- ships having referred to the printed votes of the House' of Commons, for the purpose of ascertaining the pro- ceedings upon the bill during its progress through parliament, find that it was read the second time on the 2' f^ of June last, and on the same day wa: s ordered to he- printed ; — that it was considered in committee many different times, on each of which it received various alterations and amendments, and that it was three times re. printed as amended ; that during these proceedings in parliament many deputations connected with tiie malting trade in England, Ireland, and Scotland, were heard by the members of this Board, and their Observa- tions respecting the different clauses and proposed enactments in the bill # ere considered in the most minute detail, so that, before the passing of the act, which took pi ace on tbe2d of July last, my lords under^ stood that it had received the concurrence and approba- tion of the trade. Their lordships having' compared the provisions of the new act with those which were previously in opera- tion in England, Ireland, and Scotland respectively, find that a principal object of the act is to establish one uniform system of regulation throughout the United Kingdom for collecting the inalt duties; that with this view the old laws have been assimilated and consolidated, tho greatest part, of the act being simply a re- enactment of old regulations, such as are new being few in number, and designed chiefly to establish uniformity of practice. Their lordships having also adverted to the directions already given by them to the commissioners of Excise, with respect to the sections relating to cisterns and couch- frames, and to the memorial of the said commis- sioners, dated the 19th instant, in which they request their lordships'further directions therein, are of opinion, that any cisterns or couch- frames which were in use before the passing, of the late act, and which are so placed as to be accessible to the officer, and so con- structed as to enable him to gauge the corn therein without obstruction and without error, shall be forth- with certified by the proper officer, although the same may not in their construction conform with the rules prescribed by the statute with reference to such cisterns and couch- frames as shall be hereafter made. That with respect to any couch- frames or cisterns which may be so situated as to impede the officer in the discharge of his duty, and render it difficult for him correctly to gauge the grain contained therein, their lordships are disposed to believe that many such cannot have been permitted to exist under the operation of the laws which have hitherto been in force; but if any such there are, their lordships are of opinion, that they should be put into such a state as will enable the officer correctly to discharge his duty, before they are certified as being fit for Use, although in these cases also they do not require that the vessels shall be so altered as to be of the exact shape and depth defined by fhe statute. Lord Goderich has also made known to their lordships the substance of ibe communications made to him bv several deputations of maltsters, and tbe apprehensions expressed bv them as to different clauses of tbe acl. With a view, therefore, of granting every facility to per « ; sons engaged in the. malting trade, and of removing ail restraints which may not be necessary for the secure and equal collection of the revenue, their lordships have been pleased to direct the following communication to be made to the commissioners of Excise : — First— With respect to the 25th section of the act, my lords direct, that under the regulations therein con- tained, maltsters shall be allowed to drain the water from their cisterns throughout the whole malting season, without the limitation of period tVerein specified. Second— With respect to the 32d section, that malt- sters shall not be required to continue the corn in the couch- frames longer than 26 hours, if before the ex- piration of that period the officer shall have taken a gauge ofthe said. corn, whilst still in the conch- frame bnt if no such gauge shall so have been taken, the corn shall continue in the couch- frame until the gauge is taken : provided always that the officer shall attend for that purpose before the expiration of thirty hours. Thirdly— With respect to the 42d section of tho said act, the maltsters h avmg represented that bv the regt? » lations therein Contained, the duty will in some districts, when a particular system of malting is pursued, be charged in warm weather upon a greater quantity of malt than will be actually manufaciured by such malt- sters, their lordships are desirous of pointing out that Ihe main object of the act is to provide the means generally throughout the united kingdom of charging with the duty of 2s. 7d. every bushel of malt which shaM actually be made ; and their lordships ;> re not convinced that more than this would generally be charged, if ( he provisions contained in this section were carried into execution to their fullest extent: nevertheless, in con- sequence of the apprehension expressed by the malt- sters, they nre pleased to direct, that, in the first in- stance, and until the VOih of October, 1828, an allowance of one- third shall be made on jhe qu utility of corn ascer- tained by gauge, to be taken at any period between the expiration of the time for tlie corn to remain in the conch, and 72 hours from the time at which such corn shall have been emptied from the cistern ; and that upon all subsequent floor- gauges the trader shall be allowed one- half, iu lieu of only one- third. Their hardships further direct the commissioners of Excise to instruct their officers to keep such accurate and partieul ar accounts of those different operations as may enable them, at the expiration of the above period, to state to their lordships how far the regulations above prescribed, for carrying the provisions of Hie aci. imo effect, shall have actually succeeded, in charging with tbe duty of 2s. 7d. per bushel the whole ( foaiitity of malt made, in order . that their lordships may be enabled to judge whether if. will be desirable to prolono- beyond tbe 10th of October, 1828, tbe indulgence hereby granted, or adopt any olher regulations for more effectually securing the objects of the act.

W MALT ACT— The remonstrance of the maltsters against the new act is loud and universal; and as it were unjust to suppose so many of our fellow subjects dissatisfied without a cause, or to take up the uncharitable hypothesis, that they resent what is merely a necessary check upon fraud, we must believe that the complaint is well founded : indeed, the arguments brought forward in defence of the measure seem to confirm the justice of the complaint against it — The Times of this morning stigtualises ihe complaint as unreasonable, because m> new tax is imposed, hut is it quite clear that surh in fact is the case ? If I am charged say 12s. a barrel duty, and charged- as having made 13 barrels of malt, when \ have in fact made but 12, is not this to all intents and purposes imposing a new tax at the rate of Is. per barrel upon my manufacture,? Again, if I am compelled to expend an additional shilling per barrel in the process of manufacture, to accommodate the exciseman and satisfy his con- science, whether that shilling,, is bestowed in labour, in warehouse room, or in any other matter, is not ihis, as far as [ am concerned, to all intents and purposes a new tax? and if it bring nothing to the Exchequer, is it not more vexatious ou that account ? Once more if men are compelled to waste part of the raw material by an unthrifty but compulsory mode of manufacture is not that a tax? And finally, if they are exposed to a system of complicated obligations and a ti verse surveillance, which must involve the most upright and the most careful in penalties, is not this a system of taxation of the U".".) st odious and fearfuLuciscripiioo? The diminished use of beer, and the use of substitutes in the manufacture of ihe article called by that name have been the natural result of the excessive malt duties which ministers are now, though hy an indirect process, endeavouring to screw up still higher.

MLOPIM WURN1L, AND WALESA, L O N D D N — S A T U R I) A Y. DISPATCHES FROM CONSTANTINOPLE. Official advices have been received at'tbe Foreign office, from Constantinople, dated tbe 5th instant; and at the Admiralty, from Admiral Codrington, ifa'ed 7, ante, October 11. Down ' to fhe former perisd, no alteration had taken place in fhe state ofthe question with respect to Greece. The Sultan continued to profess the greatest anxiety to avoid any hostile result, bat meanwhile avoided taking any step which might tend to the satisfactory arrangement of the matters at is* ue. The intelligence of the armistice, concluded be- tween Admiral Codrington and- the Pacha, on the 26th ult. had not reached Constantinople on the 6th iust. but as if was expected it might arrive in about tin days from Navarino, the probability was, that it reached the Ottoman Government about the 6th or 7th instant. The dispatches from Admiral Codrfngton an- nounce, that the Egyptian fleet, in the harbour of Navarino, had violated the armistice. . On the 4th r. ist. a portion of this fleet' was intercepted by Admiral Codriugton,. steering iu the. direction of T'alras, and as it afterwards appeared, intending to relieve that' place: They were subsequently joined by anoflier division. Admiral Codrington apprised them that they were violating the armistice which had been concluded with Ibrahim Pacha. The Turkish Commander replied, that he was acting under the orders of the Pacha, and affected not to know that the proceeding was any violation of the existing armistice. Admiral Codringlon fired at some of t'ue transports to make them shew their colours Three or four disregarded the sum- mons, when they were immediately bnarded,, and tlie remarkable circumstance transpired, that they were protected by Austrian papers, aud a Turkish firman, conjointly. They were of course suffered to depart. At first, Admiral Codringt'on intimated to the Egyptian fleet, which had left the harbour of- Navarino, that as they had violated the armistice, they should not be permitted either to proceed, or to return to Navarino. This, however, was not persisted in, and at the date of the dispatches they • were on their return to join the rest of the fleet. The Russian squadron was in sight offZante on the 11th, to join Admiral Codfington, obtain them, but it must be on terms consistent wiih their honour— on the only terms upon which they could be useful to his government, or worthy of his confidence; namely, by placing them in a Cabinet ( we venture to say neither will quarrel' for station), by placing them in a Cabinet, the head of which shall be a man of the King's own, and of their sentiments — in brief, a Protestant. If these terms cannot be accorded at present, the existing very wise aud very well assorted government must go on through the Session, which, we may predict, will not be the least amusing session of the nineteenth century. Merriment will be provoked, from more quarters than one. The first, and most important display will, however, if we are not mis- taken, be made in the House of Lords — where Earl Grey designs,, if rumour be correct, to ad minister a narrative of Whig proceedings to the Marquis of Lansdown, of which the Marquis will find'it difficult to offer a satisfactory explanation. In the other House, it is said, a petition will be presented, and a motion made, the purpose of which will be the removal from the toils of office trod the cares of legislation of Mr. Spring Rice, in consideration of certain transactions at the Lime- rick assizes. The first arrow against the Ministry will come from a Whig quiver— the second, if Mr. Spring Rice be its object, from persons wholly unconnected with party. This last matter, if taken up as we have reason to believe it will, will be treated upon grounds of general morality and considerations of what is due to the honour of Parliament and to the character of tlte public service. The Tory leaders will doubt- less continue to maintain tbe reserve, and' even indulgence towards ministers, by which tbey have hitherto been characterized ; but this cannot last long, because tbe Cabinet cannot prolong much farther the system of absolute inaction, which brought them so quietly through the last session. Whigs out of office, papists, radicals, will urge; pledges will be thrown in their teeth; fhe new system must be proceeded in or retracted alto- gether. In either case comes the necessity for a decisive line of action, and with it the fierce oppo- sition of either Whigs or Tories; and, as a matter of course,, the dissolution of Lord Goderich's Administration — say by the first of April. The sensation in the city to- day, in consequence of the news from Turkey,, was strong and general; and not a few politicians anticipate that a1 war Willi Austria will grow out of the present' dispute with the Grand Seignior. It certainly appears that the Government of Vienna has been playing a double part, for while, according iV the statement ill the official paper, it has been giving its influence to Great Britain, France, and Russiaat Constantinople, it has been furnishing the Egyptian flteet with papers, which would of course prevent its being assailed by the squadrons of this country or of her allies. On this account, the armistice enforced by Sir E. Codrington at Navarino will be of no avail, and Ibrahim Pacha will be enabled to send any force he pleases to the relief of Patras. The dispatches iu Downing- strect are, itappears, to the6lh inst-. and at that date, affairs remained- without alteration, the Sultan leaving it with the Allies to commence the enforcement of the treaty. The official advices to the French Ministry arrived ou Thursday morning, and are of the same date as those in the hands of the British Government. This fact we learn by the express of this afternoon; aud in the accounts from the French capita! it is also mentioned, that private interest had outstrip- ped the public agents, and that intelligence from Constantinople had been obtained through private channels up to the 8th ult. Oil the 8th of October the prospect of an ar- rangement was even move distant than on the 5th. The most important fact is, that the Turkish Government had then received information of what had passed at Navarino between Sir E. Codrington and Ibrahim Pacha, and treated the affair with the utmost disregard. Orders had been sent off lo the Pacha, but the nature of them had not been pro- mulgated'. Sir E. Codrington had proceeded to Zante, because,, under all the circumstances, he could do nothing further at Navarino. If Ibis be true, it looks as if the Turkish Government meant at ouce to set the Allies at defiance, backed by the • support of Austria. Sir Anthony Hart, late Vice- Chancellor of Eng- land, is absolutely appointed Chancellor of Ireland. This- gentlieman was the nominee and is the friend of the honest Earl of Eldon.

OswesTKY.-— On Friday last, the ceremony of swearing- in the Mayor- Elect ( Roger Mercer Cockerill, Esq.) took place in the Guildhall. After partaking of a most elegant dejeune, the Mayor, attended by the High Steward ( the Hon. Thomas Kenyon), Ihe Aldermen, Common Council- men, and a large assemblage of friends, proceeded to Church, where they heard a most impressive and eloquent discourse, by the Mayor's Chaplain ( the Rev. Lloyd Fletcher, of Gwernhayled).— The party then re- turned to the Hall, where they sat down to a sumptuous dinner, prepared with the usual well- known taste and culinary excellence of Mrs. Leigh, of the Hotel. The wines and dessert were of the finest quality ; the hilarity ofthe evening was kept up to a late hour ; aud the party expressed them- selves highly gratified with the liberality and unbounded hospitality of the worthy Mayor.— The following are some of ihe numerous toasts, which were drunk with great applause -.— The King— The Duke of Wellington— The Duke of Clarence— The Mayor— The High Steward— The Recorder ( Right Hon.

To the Trustees of the Salop Infirmary. GENTLEMEN,- As a notice is now given for a Meeting of the Trustees on the « Hh of November, to take into consideration an arrangement respecting the late Mr. Francis's " Residuary . Bequest, may an old Subscribe* to this excellent Institution take the liberty of suggesting, under the expectation of this munificent Legacy, as well as from other motives, another subject for that day's considera- tion; which is this— Is ii yet too late to alter the Site of the New Infirmary ? That it should be built in another situation, and that an equally convenient one maybe found, is, 1 will venture to assert, the wish and opinion of 99 out of every 100 of the subscribers. To every person who looks at the splendid opening now made, with the view hereby afforded of the venerable and beautiful Cathedral- looking Church of St. Mary, it is, indeed, a subject of universal lamentation that this opening and this view should henceforth be blocked up again by the intended New Infirmary. is it, then, let me repeat, too late to re consider a subject, which excites so much interest at the present moment? It will be said, perhaps, by some — it is too late, as so much expenditure is already incurred in laying the foundations. But may not what is already done be, with little altera- tion, converted ( for which the compartments' even now seem adapted) into Catacombs for the Cemetery of St. Mary's? For this purpose, the parish of St. Mary would, I am sure, readily come forward to purchase; and should there be any deficiency in the sum required, I am also sure that many addi- tional subscribers would immediately come forward, to effect a purpose, in which every person you speak to seems interested, and every one of whom exclaims— How much to be lamented it is that the site of the New Infirmary cannot be removed! Apologizing for this intrusion, I have the honour to remain, with the highest respect for the Com- mittee, to whom the County is so much indebted, An Old Subscriber to the Infirmary, and a Well- wisher to the Town of Shrewsbury.

Bills 63 Cons, for Acc. 87 i [ From the Standard.] In the absence of all the ordinary topics of political conjecture, the Morning Papers are employing themselves, and amusing their readers, with hints of a negociation on foot, the object of which is said to be the persuading the Duke of Wellington to give his support to the present Ministry, and even to become a member of the anomalous Cabinet, under which the country has the honour and the happiness to be placed. These hints of the Duke's probable accession to the ministry, all come from the retainers of that ministry,— from those who, about six months ago, allowing the Duke some little credit for military skill, treated his political pretensions as perfectly contemptible. As recantations of opinions so ora- cularly pronounced, these suggestions are amus- ing; as indirect, but most emphatical confessions of the weakness and fears of the ministry they are gratifying; but this is all we can say, for they are utterly destitute of foundation. If it is said, indeed, lhat the King wishes to number among his confidential counsellors ihe man whose achievements have saved his empire, and gilded the period of his government with the most brilliant triumphs t- o be found in British history, the statement is true; nay, if it be asserted that the King has employed all the means which he could, without offending their feelings, to recall both the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel to the Cabinet, this also is true. But it is still true that every solicitation of the kind coming from the King or from the Prime Minister ( and indirect solicitations have come from both) has been firmly though respectfully resisted. The reply to all such has been, we presume, a reference to the recorded opinions of tbe two distinguished indivi- duals solicited —" that a government, of which Lord Goderieh should bo the head, were even more objectionable than one formed by Mr. Can- ning." ' ese were the opinions, delivered after mature consideration by tbe Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel at the re- assembling of Parliament in May, aud the decision which they convey was not likely to be much varied by the addition of Lord Xansdown, Mr. Tierney, and their fellows, tothe previously objectionable government. But the King is anxious for the services of the Duke and Mr. Peel; — if'his Majesty desires their services, he knows how to obtain tlieni. He may Lieut.- Col. Sir T. Noel Hill, K. C.

An arduous and protracted contest has taken place at Liverpool for the office of Mayor, between Messrs. Porter and Robinson, two respectable members of tbe corporation, of similar political opinions. It lasted five days; and at the conclusion of the poll, 011 Tuesday, the numbers were, as tbey had been every previous day, equal— 1720 each. On Wednesday, the books were again opened, and Mr. Porter polling six tallies to Mr. RobiusoH's five, the former gentleman was declared duly elected: the numbers at the close of the poll being— for Mr. Porter, 1780; Mr. Robinson, 17G5. Up to Tuesday, £ 40 had been given for a tally; and in some instances, 10 and even 20 guineas per vote. On Wednesday, £ 25 was paid for a single vote ; and it is calculated that the money spent on both sides in this absurd contest will fall little short of £ 20,000. All the free lunatics in the Asylum, all the fr paupers iu the workhouse, and even some free patients in the l'ever- ward, were brought to the hustings in the course of the contest, and polled for one or other of the candidates ! 27 28 16 28 29 7 29 29 19 30 30 11 31 , 31 4 32 31 18 33 32 13 34 33 8 35 34 4 36 35 1 37 35 19 38 36 18 39 37 18 301 4 0 39 0 4 41 40 3 7 ii i 34 4 0 4 6 2 55 4 H 1 5 42 .... 43 44 .... 45 46 47 48 49 50 41 8 42 14 44 12 45 11 47 2 48 14 50 8 52 4 54 3 5 6| n 4 6 11 34 0- 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 d. 3 V 4 4i 51 ti 65 2 8 2 9 - 2 9 J 2 11 2 114 U 3| 5 H 8 !>' 3 1 H 4 1| 4 4 4 6 4 S'J 4 114 5 2i 5 6 5 '.'• § 6 1-} 6 6 6 11| 7 43 7 11 RACI- NO TRIUMPH— On Saturday week, Mr. Thompson, the fortunate proprietor of that sporting racer, Orthodox, which he purchased from . Air. Nanney, returned with his horses to Wigan, after a most successful career on the turf, for the several last months. At his entrance he was met by about four thousand persons, huzzaing and shouting the most enthusiastic welcome. A procession was instantly formed, in the rear of which came the stud groom, mounted, carrying a superb gold cup ; then followed his favorite Orthodox, the winner of it; next, Predictor, and last of all, Billington, his trainer, no little proud of his triumph. The bells set out a joyous peai, aud a band of music, ill readiness for the occasion, struck up " See the conquering Hero conies." In this manner they paraded through the streets, and at the conclusion, several barrels of ale were distributed amongst the populace; whilst for his more intimate friends, copious libations of twenty years old Port, flowed in plenteous streams from the " Golden Vase."

BKOSELBV, OCT. 25TH, 1827, [ FROM THE QUARTERLY REVIEW] No man who has paid the least attention to the conduct of the periodical press in this country during the last five years, can have failed to observe the persevering efforts- which have been made to persuade the Public that the prosperity and wealth of this Empire owe their origin and increase principally, if not exclusively, to our manufacturing and commercial industry. Upon this misrepresentation of the sources of public wealth, is grounded an attempt to elevate the interests of manufactures and commerce on the depression, if not the" ruin, of those of agriculture. Nor, indeed, is the attempt much to be wondered at. The class of writers who labour in this cause are generally, if not universally, the denizens of cities: their companions are mostly persons who are, or have been, concerned in manufactures or trade; and hence they are, unavoidably and uncdhsciodsly,- led to set an undue relative importance upon the industry of that class with whom they principally associate. Above all, the bulk of their readers are engaged in commer- cial pursuits ; and, probably, many among them who may entertain more correct views upon these subjects, are compelled to sacrifice the interests of truth to the prejudices of those whose good opinion they find it profitable to court. Such, we apprehend, are the true sources of the efforts which we see daily made to depreciate agricultural industry in the estimat ion of the public. Whatever may be its weight in the Chapel of St. Stephen, it is manifest that the interests of this most important branch of internal economy are not fairly represented in the 4 Republic of Letters.' When we consider the wealth and number of the persons employed in the cultivation of the soil, it must be admitted that they bear no proportion what- ever as a 4 reading public' to the other classes of the community.— We must advert to another Circum- stance ' which tends to produce, among wits and speechinongers by profession, an unjustly low esti- mate of the importance of agriculture. To perceive the growth of manufactures and commerce, requires a much feebler exertion of intellect than to trace the progress of agriculture; and every one knows that among the people to whom we have alluded 4 de non apparentibus ac de non existentibus eadem est ratio. Every new manufacturing establishment presents a angible object which arrests attention ; but where a waste has been inclosed and rendered productive, or the produce of land already in cultivation has been ncreased perhaps four or five fold, by the introduc- ion of an improved system of husbandry, the circum- stance may easily remain unknown to any one except the immediate occupier— it attracts even at the best but the passing notice of a very contracted circle of neighbours, and leaves no marks by which it may be raced at a distant period. Materials exist in abun- dance which enable us to obtain a correct and distinct view of the increase which, during any given period, has taken place in the commerce and manufactures of the Country ; but we possess no such precise data whereon to found an estimate of the addition which, within the same period, a more extended and skilful husbandry may have made to the produce of the soil. If it were possible to procure such data, we can enter- tain no sort of doubt that the results of the capital, tlie skill, and tbe perseverance applied to British agriculture, from about the middle of the last century down lo the present time, would clearly appear to be quite as important as the advantages which are acknowledged to have been derived within the same period of time, from the capital, the ingenuity, and the energy employed in British manufactures and commerce. But, because the public do not see the augmentation which an improved system of hus- bandry has made to the produce of the soil, in the same tangible manner in which they see the increase that has taken place in the commerce and cotton mills of the country, they are too easily led by persons who, from interest or prejudice, wish to deceive them, to believe that no such addition has in fact been made.—- The efforts of the class of writers to whom we have alluded have proved the source of much heart- burning and discontent. They have split tbe community into parties and factions; each of which is taught to view its own interest as distinct from, if not diametrically opposed to, the good ofthe whole. The owners and occupiers of land are in- duced to look upon the manufacturers of this country as a body which endeavours to deprive them of the fair returns which they are entitled to derive from the cultivation of the soil; while the latter, in their turn, are taught to view the formed as a greedy and insatiable class, eager to rob them of the profits which they have a right to expect from their capital. The corn. grower and cotton spinner are thus, in too many instances, trained lo regard each other, if not as enemies who should be annihilated, at least as rivals who ought to be watched— and, if possible, circum- vented. Nothing, however, can, in truth, be more unreasonable than the jealousy thus excited between two classes, whose interests, when correctly viewed, will be found knit together in bonds that cannot be severed without serious injury to both. Ala moment, therefore, when much mischievous industry is exerted in sowing discord, we think it our duty to point out, as distinctly as we can, how firmly the welfare of the one class is bound up in the prosperity of their neighbours;— how inevitably the depression of either of ihese important interests must in the end reach and affect the other. It will not, we think, prove impracticable to con- vince every inquirer, whose mind is not enslaved by the most invincible prejudices, that, whether we refer to the extent of the capital embarked in agriculture, or to the productive character of the labour employed, iu tillage, the cultivation of the soil is more important to the community at large than the most ingenious operations of the manufacturer, or the most success- ful speculations of the merchant -— From the way in which these matters are sometimes treated, it might be imagined that manufactures are in themselves productive, that they make an addition to the quan lily of the food required for the support of the popu la tion of auy country. We should have thought that even a child might perceive the absurdity of such a notion. The application of the most ingenious ma- chinery ever invented by the wit of man to the fabrication of cotton or cloth, never can, by any possibility, add one grain to the quantity of corn grown upon au acre of land ; its effect is merely to enable the owner of agricultural produce to fabricate a given quantity of wrought commodities with smaller consumption of corn and beef. No proposi- tion can, we think, be clearer than that the fruits and vegetable productions . of the earth constitute the fundamental riches of any country; and that States owe infinitely more to agriculture than to any other profession of life. When the matter is impar tially investigated, it will appear that grain of every kind, flesh, meat, wine, oil, and a long list of et ceteraSy al| proceed originally from the cultivating and watchful care of the peasant; aud lhal the maun facturer merely exercises bis industry upon the pro. duct ions of the cultivator. Thus art stands indebted to the husbandman for materials to work upon, aud what it adds to nature establishes only a species of wealth subsisting by mutual convention or compact subject to the vicissitudes of time and the caprice of custom. Agriculture alone Can stand its ground amidst these revolutions ; for the cultivation of the earth must always command attention in some place or other: if discouraged and depressed in one couutry, it will necessarily take refuge in another. About two centuries ago, Gabriel Plotes very sensibly observed 4 that wheat and other useful grain, like the flux and reflux ofthe ocean, will force their way in some place or other; if you check them in Europe, they may break forth in Tartary or the West Indies.' A Frenc writer, with equal good sense, observes, that 4 agri culture, destroyed by various causes, traverses the earth, flying from place to place where it is op pressed, and taking up its rest where it is permitted to breathe freel>— it reigns at present where nut Inn was formerly to be seen but deserts; and places in which it once reigned are now only deserts.' Among a certain class of writers and orators, who, with views of their own, endeavour lo av^ il them selves of tbe passions of the multitude, it has lately become the fashion to represent rent as an extortion ate exaction, wrung, under the colour of law, and the arbitrary institutions of society, from ( he pockets of the poor; and the landowners themselves as a set of useless, selfish, and greedy drones, whose only servi to the Slate is the consumption of a large and mcreas. ing revenue, which would otherwise be added to the earnings of the industrious classes. But. the doctrine advocated by these persons, for purposes which they have not hitherto ventured openly to reveal, is as palpably absurd as it is malignantly flagitious. H is not difficult to prove, to the perfect conviction of every rational mind, that rent injures no member of society— that it has no effect whatever on the money- value of agricultural produce, which would sell for the same money- price in the market, or exchange for the same quantity of other commodities, if rent were, entirely abolished: and, moreover, that taking every country wherein rent accrues to the owner of the soil as a whole, it never will be found to exceed a fair average return for the capital, or saved labour, em barked by him in the production of corn. He who invests capital, saved either by himself or his fore- fathers, in the cultivation of the soil, and derives a retiirn for it under the denomination of rent, can no more justly be represented as a drone, than his neighbour who employs the capital, saved either by himself or his ancestors, in the manufacture of cotton, or shoes, and derives a return for it under the deno- mination of profit.—^ The production of corn is, in fact, a manufacture; the soil is the raw material from which agricultural produce is manufactured. The owner and the occupier of land form in effect a copartnership! for the production of this commodity. As the foundation of all, the owner finds the raw material, the soil, which, in a state of nature, and before it has been prepared for tillage by human industry, is of Utile or no value: in addition to this^ he finds various appliances, without which the manu- facture cannot be carried on with any prospect of advantage. The buildings, the hedges, the gates, the ditches, the drains, the roads, & c. & e.— these must all be prepared at the expense of the owner. The value of these articles, that is, the labour of which they are the results, constitutes the portion of capital advanced by the British landowner for the purposes of the copartnership into which he enters; and this capital is rather more considerable in amount than the dema- gogues, who describe our landowners as drones sub sisting upon the earnings of the people, have any inclination to admit. If an estimate could be formed of the expense incurred in reclaiming the soil of this country from a stale of nature, and preparing it for the operations of husbandry— of the sums expended in building, draining, clearing, fencing, irrigating, road and bridge making, by the successive owners of estates, we are inclined to think it would not fall very short of the present value of the fee simple of the land. Our admiration of the success with which ma- chinery has been applied, in this country, to manu- facturing purposCs, induces us to overlook one or two drawbacks which adhere to the system. The use of machinery effects an immense saving, of labour iu the fabrication of a given quantity of cloth. This is, no doubt, highly beneficial to the working mechanic, whose lime is fully occupied ; but we are not sure that it is equally advantageous to the Small farmer, or to tbe labourer employed in agriculture. There are yet many hours of every day, and many whole days of every winter, in which the labours of agriculture must be al a stand. still. One or two hours before day- light, and two or three hours after night fall, were formerly applied in the family of every little farmer, and of every agricultural labourer, 10 domestic manufacture. This custom is now pretty much ex- ploded : the wheel and the distaff are very generally banished from the farm- house and the cottage, at least in the south, and the wife and daughters of the husbandman are thus deprived of an occupation, which, perhaps, had other merits besides that of being profitable. Whether this relaxation of industry has improved the health and morals, or augmented the happiness of this class of females, we will not under- take fo determine, although we cannot help suspect- ing that the annihilation of this domestic employment, through the intervention of machinery, may be a principal cause of the daily increasing burdens upon parishes, occasioned by poor- rates.—- In estimating the advantage which the community derives from the use of machinery, in the fabrication of articles formerly manufactured at home, another circumstance ought to be considered. It is unquestionably true, that the quantity of any article of clothing which a given quantity of labour, aided by machinery, can produce, is infinitely greater than could have been manufac- tured without mechanical assistance: still, it should not be forgotten, that the increase in the quantity is, to a certain degree at least, counterbalanced by a diminution in the durability of the article. It is, we believe, a fact which no man will dispute, that a coal, made of cloth carded and spun by the hand, will last much longer than the same garment made of materi- als fabricated by the aid of machinery. When this inferior degree of durability is coupled with the time now thrown away by the agriculturist and his family, we are inclined to think that the estimate usually formed of the advantages which this- country derives from the application of machinery to the abridgment of manufacturing labour, must be somewhat reduced. Though we have great g3in on one side of the account, still it ought, in all fairness, to be balanced by some loss counted on the other, BIRMINGHAM. i^ tteteUaniou* Unteiiigjmce. BANK OF ENGLAND AND BRANCH BANKS.— The mmunities granted to this corporation, that of aking their notes equivalent to cash, stands pre- eminent; in the disastrous year of 1797, through various misfortunes public confidence was materially " sturbed. Many country banks stopped payment and were ruined ; but when the Bank of England was hard pressed, and had but £ 1,000,272 in their coffers to pay demands on them, amounting to £ 8,640,250, Mr. Pitt interfered, and published an order in council, requiring tbe Bank to forbear issuing any more cash. It was the duty of Mr. Pitt to save this corporation; they upheld him ; they anticipated taxes; they gave life to his system; they carried on his wars against France ; they ubsidized the rapacious foreigner ; aud they overwhelmed England with funds, beggary, and paper. The national debt, at the Revolution, was £ 664,263. During the reign of William III, who founded the Bank of England, it increased to £ 15,730,439. At the commencement of 1793 it was £ 254,306,435 ; and in January, 1819, only 26 years after cash payments were suspended, it had risen to the enormous sum of £ 840,758,518. Without the co- operation of Mr. Pitt, and the Bank of England, this mountain of debt could never have been placed on the country. We are well aware of the advantages trade derives from credit, and un- doubtedly the Bank of England has had a con- siderable share in promoting the interests of our manufactures, by affording them a large amount of capital; still we consider that the benefits that may have been derived from this branch of their occupation, are greatly over- balanced by the mis- chiefs resulting from the facility their corporate character gives them in the discharge of their financial agency for the government. An establish- ment so rich aud so highly privileged as the Bank of England, must always offer opportunities to a profligate minister, to squander the resources of the country. In our opinion, in place of extending the power of this Leviathan, and stretching out its giant arms to grasp at every particle of wealth in all comers of the kingdom, some measures should be devised to cut off the most influential parts, or reduce them to the standard by which ihey were originally formed. If free trade is to be adopted as a general measure, why make an exception to dealing in money; why suffer the monopoly of the Bank of England to throw further impediments in the way of private money dealers? The failures of bankers are not in a greater proportion than the failures of other dealers. They who weathered the storm should not suffer because others perished; and even the ruined bankers are not a jot more unworthy of credit than the Bank of England, whose destruction was prevented only by a measure, at ouce uujust, arbitrary, and fraudful. Such a step could not be repeated ; in a similar case, bankruptcy or revolution must ensue. If there has been a glut of paper, and an excess of speculation, it has not been wholly occasioned by the bankers, the public have been quite as much to blame. A few regu lations respecting- the issue of notes would remedy this for ever. The trade of the country is deeply indebted to the local bankers, for its prosperity under every disadvantage, and we trust the leading persons in manufacturing districts will support establishments, the utility of which they must have felt.— Coventry Observer. EXTRAORDINARY AND MELANCHOLY DEATH. — Early on Wednesday morning, Mr. James Cord- ingley, of Little Horton, near Bradford, skinner, was found in his yard nearly dead, in consequence of having been worried by two dogs, kept by him for the protection of his premises. His arm was nearly severed from his body, and his throat dreadfully lacerated, with the windpipe partially torn out. He died soon after he was discovered in the above situation.— it is conjectured that he had entered the yard in a state of intoxication, late iu the night previously, after having returned from Leeds, and had been attacked by the dogs, who had not recognised their master, inebriated as he then is supposed to have been. On Friday, the Low Bailiff of Birmingham, John Towers Lawrence, Esq. entertained tWo hundred of his friends and townsmen with a sumptuous dinner at the Royal Hotel, in that town. Soon after six o'clock, the Low Bailiff took his seat at the head of the- centre table, supported on his right by Mr. Harding, jun. as representative of the Lord ofthe Manor; D. S. Dug- dale, Esq, M, P. Mr. W. S. Dugdale, and Mr. Clarke, K . C.; a. od on'his left by Francis LawleyJ Esq. M. P. W. W. Whit more, Esq. M. P. for Bridgnorth, kc. Several other distinguished persons, among whom were Sir John Wrofiesley, Bart, and E. J Littleton, Esq the members for the county of Stafford, were unfortunately prevented attending. The High Bailiff, George Attwood, Esq. presided at the table to the right of the Low Bailiff, and Charles Cope, Esq. at that to the left. The Vice- Presidents were Mr. Evre Lee, Mr. J. Y. Bedford, and Mr. W. Auderton: fhe tables. were on the admission of the company instantly occupied, and it was with great difficulty some of the guests, could find accommodation. Tlie dinner and wines were excellent, and served up in Wilday's usual good style. On the removal of the cloth 44 Non Nobis Domine" was sung hy the musical amateurs and professors pre- sent, and the usual routine of toasts was commenced with 44 the- King," followed by the National Anthem. — l4 The Royal Family," 14 the Duke of Clarence and the Navy,"' and 44 the Duke of Wellington and the Army" succeeded. On proposing- 44 His Majesty's Ministers," the Low Bailiff prefaced the toast bv observing, 44 that the public press had not yet decided whether the Ministry were to be considered Whig or Tory ; they appeared however to enjoy the confidence of their Sovereign ; and he trusted their measures would entitle them to the gratitude of their country." This toast was received; with long continued cheers.— The Lord Lieutenant of the County was next given. The Low BAILIFF in proposing to the company the - health of the County Members, Mr. Dugdale and Mr. Law ley, said that if he possessed the power to. do justice to the gentlemen who Were the subjects of the toast, their presence would prevent, him from ex- patiating upon their claims to public approbation. It • would indeed be in vain for him to speak of the kind attention which they had always shown to the interests of the town of Birmingham. There were no members in the House of Commons of mare independent princi- ples, who possessed more useful talents, or who were more desirous of employing, those talents for the benefit of their constituents. He hoped that the con- nection between the present county members and Ibis town might long continue., and that: it might cease, only with their lives."— The loud cheering which followed ihe announcement, of this toast, and the observations of the Low Bailiff, evinced the high degree of estimation in which the public services and character of our worthy fepvesentatiVes are held by their constituents of all parties. As soon as the plaudits had subsided — D. S. DuGOAtE, Esq. rose and said lie was ex tremely obliged to the company for conferring upon him so much honour, and also to the Chairman for the kind way in which he had thought proper to introduce the toast. He lamented greatly that he was absent from London when the petition from the town went up respecting the representation of Birmingham. He was happy: in the idea, however, that the measure would be carried into effect; and he thought we could not better csbtaiu a redress of abuses, than by giving the elective franchise to large and wealthy manuf^^ im- iri^' towns. He had no doubt that Bir- mingham would find great benefit accrue to it from being represented ; and he should feel great satis- faction in having assistance of that nature in the house. With regard to himself and his worthy col- league, they had always endeavoured to do the best in their power to further the interests of Birmingham ; but they had felt that their knowledge, on various subjects Connected. With the. manufactures of the place was defective, and had it not. been for the kind assist- ance of several g- entlemen who were well acquainted with those subjects, their efforts would have been still Less effective. He would, however, say, that whether the measure lie had alluded to were ultimately carried or not, he should not consider himself exempt from any duty he was at. present under, so long as he had the honour to hold the situation which he then did. FRANCIS LAWLEY, Esq. begged to add his acknow- ledgments for the honour done him. He assured the company he had always felt great pleasure in attend- ing on these occasions, from a high and sacred feeling that the ,; utmost harmony would always prevail, although the company was composed o'f gentlemen of great difference pf opinion, both on politics and other matters. He would just, allude for one moment to the prospective representation of Birmingham. He had always sincerely wished that the" measure might come to pass, aiid ha* expressed that wish in another place. He desired to promote the object, because he believed it would advance the interests of the town of Birming- ham ; but he wished it also because it was a most constitutional proceeding, and, if followed up, would promote the interests of the country, at large, and effect all the change in the representation which was necessary or useful. He could not conclude witliout alluding to an assertion wfiich lie had heard. It was, that they, the members for the county, must naturally wish the measure to be carried, because they would save themseWes trouble by it; lie begged thus pub- licly to deny that any such motive influenced them; and he trusted that whenever they had anything to do for their constituents, they did not know what ; trouble tiieant~ r,( lt> ud applause),— rWhatevcr might be the result of the question, he confidently assured : them, that nothing should alter his opinions or abate his exeftions for the prosperity of the town of Bir- mingham. Mr. Dugdale then proposed the health & f the Low Bailiff, to which that gentleman made a suitable acknowledgment. The 44 High Bailiff" was next given by Mr. Lawley.— The Low Bailiff afterwards introduced the health of 44 the Earl of Dudley," preceded by some complimentary observations on the character of the Noble Earl; — The 44 Acting Magis- trates of the town" was acknowledged by Theodore Price, Esq ; and the 44 Clergy" by the Rev. Edward Burn, win/ Concluded by proposing the health of the 44 Ministers of Birminghant aud its neighbourhood not in connection with the Establishment," and the com plimeut was acknowledged by the Rev. John Corrie. — The Low Bailiff shortly after gave from the chair, " the Members for Bridgnorth," one of whom was present ( Mr. W. W. Whitmore), and who - had with much eloquence and ability advocated principles calculated essentially to promote the commercial pro. sperity of the country. W. VV. WHITMORS, Esq. on behalf of hints el f and colleague, thanked the company, and assured the that if the honour proceeded from an approbation of the conduct he had felt it his duty to pursue, it greatly enhanced the value of the favour. Mr. W. then briefly alluded to his exertions in Parliament in oppo- sition to the Corn Bill ;. and observed, that he had pursued this . course because he was of opinion that he who wished to alleviate the distresses of the nation and take off the burden of taxation, and encourage the cultivation of the soil, should do all in his power to promote the welfare of the trading part of the commu. nitv— ( cheers)— not through the medium of monopoly, miscalled protection, aud which might be more pro- perly called destruction,—( loud cheers)— but. by liberal and enlightened measures; for it was from this source that great benefits had accrued, and from which much larger benefits would arise to this coun- try.— There had been one subject alluded to by his worthy friend before him, which certainly the com- pany were personally interested in, but which was also of essential interest to the nation at large— lie alluded to the elective franchise. If those towns which had grown up into wealth and importance as this town had, were to have the franchise transferred to them froin such'places where the principle had been abused, as, for instance, Grampound, great advantages would result lo the trading interests especially—-^ cheers). It gave him great satisfaction that the measure with regard to Birmingham had been introduced, because it had called forth from them a warmth of feeling which he was not aware had existed —( loud applause). It was a common argu- ment against the project, that it was not favourably entertained by those large towns to which the fran- chise was proposed to be transferred ; even, however, if that, had been the case, it would not have altered his views of the expediency of the measure;. It had been stated, that iu large manufacturing ( owns much tumult and inconvenience- would arise; yet he did not. see why a plan could not. be adopted by which the election might be concluded in one or two days at most, aud then all the evils which had been the sub. jeet of so much complaint would be obviated, lu conclusion, he expressed his hope that ere long Bir- mingham would have its representatives in the great council of the nation, which he was sure would tend greatly to promote its prosperity—( loud cheers). The health of Colonel Sir Robert Bolton and the Seventh Dragoon Guards was afterwards given, and Major Chalmers returned thanks. The 44 Foreman of the Court Lcei" and 44 N. G. Clarke, Esq." were also given, and acknowledged by those gentlemen. In the course of the evening the Low Bailiff proposed from the chair 44 Mr. Tennyson and thanks to b. m for having endeavoured to obtain the elective franchise for the town." The toast was drank with great ap- plause; and the Chairman. prefaced it by saying that he hoped before long some future High or Low Bailiff would have to give 44 the Members for Bir- mingham." Various other toasts followed, occasion- ally relieved by song- s and glees, many of which were sung in excellent style. Some of the company began to retire soon after nine, but many others remained al the festive board until a late hour. Binning ham Gazette, A very numerous meeting of Maltsters, and others eonneccted with tbe Corn Trade,' Was held at • the Market House Inn, Taunton, on Saturday last, for the purpose of considering the propriety of memorializing the Lords of the Treasury on the subject of the new Malt Act. Tbe Chairman, Mr. J. E. While, stated that, from the result of the conference with Lord Goderich, he had no doubt the operation of the obnoxious Act would be sus ponded, but the present vvould still afford a favour- able opportunity to the maltsters for petitioning for a more equal and impartial mode of levying the duties on their ill- fated trade. As a proof of the oppressive nature of the late measure, Mr. White further stated the extraordinary fact, that there are more penalties denounced by it than Mr. Peel thought necessary, in his Consolidation Bill; to attach to every species of offence \ * It is a novelty ( continued Mr. W.) scarcely to be credited, that the new Malt Act enables the maltster to soliloquize over about 1001 bs. of barley, having for his text the amusing fact of the possibility of his having to pay in fines from £ 4000 to £ 6000, ere such is consumed in malt, a tread- mill in the perspective assisting the interest of his reverie; whilst a brcted colouring in the foreground assures him that a distinction is not always available betwixt evident accident or mis- take, and wilful fraud. In conclusion, the Chairman expressed an earnest hope that every Member of the House of Commons would be called upon to give his reasou for suffering an Act of so grave a nature to pass unobstructed through the House. r— A memorial,- stating the various difficulties under which the malt trade laboured, and praying for a more equal and impartial mode of collecting the duties, was ultimately agreed to, and, after recei ving a numerous list of signatures, was forwarded to town. MAIL ROBBERY— On the 18th inst. an applica- tion was made to Sir R. Birnie, at Bow- street, for the assistance of an active and intelligent officer to aid the local police in discovering the thieves who, on the night of the 15th inst. ( as stated iu our last), most dexterously contrived to abstract from the Northampton and Brack ley mail cart ( a cross mail), at Brackiev, four bags containing a great quantity of letters, in some of which were enclosed bank notes to a great amount. The manner in which the robbery was said to be effected was very ingenious as well as daring, and Sir Richard Birnie did not. hesitate to give orders to Salmon, one of the oldest officers of the establishment, to proceed immediately to Brackley, and use his utmost exertions lb bring to justice the perpetrators of so dangerous au offence. Salmon, i> n arriving at Braekiey, made sirict enquiry into the manner itt„ which the robbery had been Committed, and also if any strangers had been seen about Brackley about the time of the robbery. He ascertained that a strange man bad been seen near ( lie spot where the robbery took place for some hours on the same night and that he had disappeared immediately afterwards. The driver of the mail- cart, on being questioned as to the nature of tlie robbery, slated, that when he ; stopped on the night in question at the post- house, be went into the stable to bring out a fresli horse, and when he returned to the cart, he found that the collar of the horse which he had left in the carl had been turned upside down, and the reins tied iu knots. He thought this very odd, bul attributed il to a joke on ( lie pari of some mischievous wags, and drove ou to she next stage, where, on his arrival, he discovered that four of tbe mail bags had'been stolen, and he immediately communicated the robbery by express to the different postmasters on the road. On ( he follow ing day, the empty bags and CoVers of" tetters were found iu a field near Brackley. Salmon ascertained that a suspicions character, known slightly about the neighbourhood by ( he name of Spittle, was ihe man who was seen near the post- house on the night of the robbery, and that he disappeared immediately after. Salmon then set about ( raring the retreat of Spittle, and found that he had Occasionally resided al Edge, ware, Middlesex, to which place the officer proceeded with all possible speed. On his arrival there, he learned that a man answering in every respect the description of Spittle had heen about Edgeware for two days, and had been drinking very freely in several public houses in that vicinity. He further, ascer- tained, lhat Spittle had been at the Masou^ s Arms, Edgeware, and had stated that he wanted to buy some horses, at the same time showing a large parcel of bank notes. He did not make any purchase, and when he lefl the house, he said that he was going towards London. Salniob, having no doubt that he was on a right scent, returned towards London, but prudently determined to inquire at every public- house on the road for the object of his pursuit. He bad not got far from Edgeware, when, at a public- house by the road- side, he found Spittle in a back yard, and took him into custody. The moment Salmon an- nounced himself to be' ail offiecr, Spittle said, 44 I'll tell you ". what, if I had known you had heen looking ifter me, you should not have found me so easily." Salmon searched him, and on his person found a nuniber of Bank of England and country bank notes, and other money, which subsequently proved to be the produce ofthe robbery of the mail- cart at Brack- y, Spittle having exchanged ( he larger notes enclosed in the letters for smaller ones, by making purchases of wearing apparel, & c. in different parts of the country. Salmon conveyed Spittle to London in a post- chaise, and thence to Rrarkley by ( he mail. Ou arriving there, Salmon found two other men, named Thomas Holtle and Richard Hayncs, in cus- tody, on suspicion of being concerned wilh Spittle in committing the robbery. The three men were brought before - Fawcett, Esq. and —-— Peacock, Esq. the magistrates of Braekley* and underwent an examination. Spit lie was examined separately, and he made a voluntary confession that he committed the robbery of Ihe mail- cart, assisted by the two other prisoners. He admitted that he bought some of Ihe clothes he then wore with tlie iiot. es which he took out of the letters. The confession of Spittle was most complete and ample —^ The mag: istraies, after a very patient investigation, remanded the. prisoners lo Northampton gaol fora final examination on the 27th instant.— il is expected that most of the stolen notes will lie recovered. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Friday week, an action was brought by Messrs. Snow and Co. bankers, London, against Messrs. Ley land and Co. bankers, Liverpool, to recover a Bank note of £ 100, one of the notes of which the plaintiffs' porter had been robbed in Fleet- street, in September, 1824, for the recovery of which several actions have since been brought. The robbery, & c. vvas admitted. Mr. Hanson, the plaintiff's attorney, proved that he wrote to the defendants iu December, 1825, request- ing to be informed from whom they had received the note in question, which, in the course of the preceding month, they had paid over to another person ; to which they replied, that they were not in the practice of taking memorandums of the persons from whom they received notes, and could not tell, but that they never took such notes from strangers,, and offered to give al! the assistance they could in tracing it. He then went to Liverpool, when the defendants sent round to all their customers, and to the Custom- house, and gave every assistance in endeavouring to trace the note, but were unable lo obtain any information on the subject.— The Chief Justice was clearly of opinion that, unless the jury should think the defendants had taken this note witho'ut due caution, the verdict must be in their favour; and he left it to the jury to say whether the evidence given of their course of business did not exclude the idea of want of caution. — The jury ( after one of their number had hesitated for a short, time) returned a verdict for the defendants. A remarkable activity prevails at Greenock at present iu the trade to India. Within three days, last week, three vessels sailed from thence, two for Bombay, and one for Calcutta., the last 01 which carried out nearly 7t> 0,000 yards of manufactured cotton goods, and upwards of 50,000lbs. of cotton yarns; and other three vessels are now fitting out in the Clyde for those ports. Southampton, October 20 — By the death « f the late Earl of Guilford, his nephew, the Rey. R North, Rector of St. Mary's, iu this town, and of Alresford, & c. by whom he is succeeded in his titles aud estates, will receive, it is, said, an accession of property, amounting to about £ 9000 per annum. Mr. li. Carter, of Exeter, has obtained a patent for a cast- iron, covering for buildings by a series of plates. By Mr. Carter's plan, roofs of houses may be made nearly flat, aud as. a matter of taste wiil give to that part of the building, which in most cases has a mean appearance, a pleasing and pic. turesijue effect, at a cost considerably less than half of lead, and not, like lead, liable to fracture in changes of temperature. We have the pleasure to state, that Lad v Gode- rich was on Wednesday safely delivered of a son and heir, and that her. Ladyship aud child fire as well as possible. This accession to his Lordship's family derives peculiar . interest from the in iiau- choly bereavement which it sustained but a fatv months since, in the loss of his then only daughter and only child.

Os PLANTING .—( Front the ( Quarterly Review. J—* We may be blamed for not having said something upon the subject of planting woods from the acorn, instead ofthe nursery. We have Heard this recom- mended by great authority, which* moreover, vindi- cated the practice of leaving nature to work hei' own work in her own manner, when, it was asserted, the strongest and best trees would work forwards, fight with the others, aud save us the trouble of pruning and thinning by weeding out the inferior plants. We have planted acorns on this systenij and the first show of young oaklings Which appeared rose almost like ' a bonny braird of wheat.' But notwithstanding this fine promise, the plantation came to nothing. If the young plants fodght with each other, they must have fought what cockers call a Welsh main,- for duly tens were left out of hun- dreds and thousands. The mice had probably their share in - bringing about this catastrophe; the hare a still greater one; but the indifferent success of' the experiment, in which five dr si* hogsheads ut acorns were! lost, induced us tordilddnce the experi- ment, as being at least precarious in its results. In the plantations of a friend, a vast ntimber of Spanislt chestnuts were sown, chiefly With a view to under- wood, and thny made such progress, at first, as induced us to apply for some seeds ofthe same kind from Portugal. Our correspondent fell into the small mistake of supposing the chestnuts were intended for the tatile, and with that view had theni all carefully peeled. This wasa great disappointment, at first, but we comtorfed ourselves in finding the promise of the chestnuts did not exceed in perform- ance that of our own acorns. We therefore hold, that the sowing seeds in , a wild country is a very doubtful measure, and that the only way to insure a thriving plantation is to stock it from a welU managed nursery, at no great distance from the spot where your trees are to arise. The average quantity of malt made in England and Wales, in each of the last three years, is 34,194,985 bushels. The consumption of strong beer brewed by public brewers during the last year amounted to l, 9Gfi, 774 barrels ; aud by licensed victuallers, to 1,275,736 barrels. The quantity of* table beer brewed by public brewers, in the same period, was 521,439 barrels ; and by licensed victuallers, 284,633 barrels. The daily consumption of strong beer amounts to 319,809 gallons; and of table beer, to 79,303 gallons. Reckoning thestrong beer at ls. 6d. the gallon, and the weaker sort at 8d, the sum expended daily by the population of this portion of the kingdom, in that article alone, will amount to more than £ 26,000.—' The number of brewers in London is 103, and in the country, 1442; of retail brewers in London, 74, aud in the country, 797. The number of licensed victuallers in Loudon is 4130; and in the country 45,101. At Bremen, in a wine- cellar, called the Store, Jive hogsheads of Rhenish wine have been preserved since the year 1625. These five hogsheads cost 1200 francs. Had this sum been put out to com- pound interest, each hogshead would now be worth above a thousand millions of money ; a bottle of this precious wine would cost 21,799,480 francs) and a single wine- glass, 2,723,808 francs ( or about £ 110,000 English).

MARY- LE- BONNE PARISH.— It will give our country readers some idea of the extent, population, and wealth of this parish, when they are informed that the yearly rental, on which a rate is payab e to the county, was fixed the other day at sir hun- dred and ninety- two thousand and eighty- two pounds! And that the Overseers relieve about seven thousand indigent persons weekly !! RESURRECTION MEN.— Another discovery of this nature was made in this town yesterday. It ap- pears that at an early hour on Monday morning, two persons were seen carrying a sack out of Walton church. yard, by a man who happened to be passing at the time. The suspicious circumstance immedi- ately arrested his attention, and as he was aware that a female had been interred there the day before ( Sunday) he proceeded to inform the father of the deceased, Mr. Ball, publican, London- road. On the grave being examined, it was ascertained that the body had been taken away. Information was con- sequently lodged with the police, who have since been extremely active in their endeavours to detect the perpetrators. They yesterday succeeded in discovering, in an unoccupied house in Seel- street, the body of the female in question, which was im- mediately identified by the afflicted relatives. Mr. William Gill, surgeon, was taken iuto custody last evening, 011 suspicion of being an accessary to the act. The grounds, we are informed, upon which he is charged with this offence are— that Mr. Gill hired a gig ou Monday morning from Mrs. Brittou's livery stables, in which he was out between the hours of four and seven iu the morning— lhat at the latter hour he was seen by two sawyers carrying a large box iuto the house iu Seel- street, in which the body was afterwards discovered—. and also that the said house, though, unoccupied, was tenanted by Mr. Gill, who had possession of the key. Three or four other bodies were also discovered by the police in the same place. They had been salted and appeared to be ready to pack up. Ofcourse, under such cir- cumstances, it was totally impossible to recognise them.— Gore's Liverpool Advertiser. BANKRUPTS, OCT. 26. — Samuel Thompson, ofBol- ton- lf- Moors, iron- founder.

The land was lying waste for years. A few cabins 011 the road that runs through the land were still inhabited by such persons as I described. They of course got notice to quit. The fanner, on the morning following, found bis stacks of wheat, even on his old farm; all in a blaze. This is one of the many similar cases within my knowledge. 1 ivc you the fact: the inference may be easily drawn. From another case, out of many within my knowledge also, somewhat differing in its circum- stances, may also be inferred the character of those murders and burnings and threaten'ings, which now disgrace the peasantry of this country. A middle- man— a much calumniated class of people— after spending a fortune upon the improvement ofa large farm, and wishing to enjoy the luxury of leisure, lets it in subdivisions to a few tenants: these in- crease and subdivide the lots during the term. The middle- man having reserved some years of his own lease after the expiration of theirs, expects, of course, they will quit, and at last serves notices to that effect. The server is made to swallow the notices, and is thrashed into the bargain— common practices here— the middle- man is obliged to give up the reserved time and the rents too, and is glad to escape, with life! These and such miserable cottiers insist, on leases from the head landlord, and if he do not grant them, his land lies waste— wo to the man who dares to make a bidding! " Since," the ruffians say, 44 you would not think of throwing us on the world." This perverse sttachment to the cabin and the cabbage- garden is now the cause of. the public outrages committed in this country. ( The private wars between the tactions are too frequent to merit my notice). All those wretches who go to England to cut the harvest or pave the streets, have their wives and naked brats 44 keeping possession" in their absence. For one shilling vvould these wretches hire an assassin to shoot the ejecting landlord or middle- man or agent. Grace, who was executed for the murder of Mr. Chadwick, was such a wretch,-— yet he never would discover his employers. Such are supposed to be the ban ditti who killed Mara, the inoffensive brother of one of the witnesses against Grace, the other day. Government has offered a reward of £ 2,000 for the apprehension of the first four of this banditti. This reward will be again the cause of bloodshed.

It was avarice, greedy, boundless, insatiable avarice, an endeavour to supply means for the support of the pomp and luxury of tbe Court of that magnificent and cosily Pope, Leo X. that was first instrumental in raising tlie voice of truth and reason against the errors and corruptions of that Church, which had so long maintained its impious sway over the human soui. It was an extravagant excess of this crime, for which she had been long infamous, that first promoted in Europe the glorious Reformation for w hich some of her nations are at present indebted for whatever share of civil and religions liberty'they may enjoy. According to the usual destiny of great events, it arose from an apparently small beginning. The Dominicans had obtained from Rome the sole " PATENT" ( if we may employ the expression) for publishing indulgences in Germany. To encourage tbis traffic in human sin, they printed several works lauding the power and efficacy of their absolution, to which they gave the names of GRAND PARDONS. They forthwith commenced according to rates actually set down in a regular tariff, not only to absolve the living from all their sins, but to deliver the souls of the dead from the pretended pains of purgatory. In this tariff were also rated the selling prices of liberty to cat flesh, eggs milk, and cheese, on the prohibited days. The profits of this trade were for some time enormously great ; much of tbe money was publicly squandered in taverns, aud the Priests often staked their absolutions by anticipation at a gaming table. Unfortunate devotee! how pitiable was thy doom in these days— " When the Priests with bulls and briefs and shaved crowns, And griping fists and unrelenting frow ns, T. egate iuid Delegates with powers tVom hell, Though heavenly in pretension, fleeced thee well." To oppose this hideous and scandalous prostitu- tion of the divine word, this commerce in crime, Luther first arose and published ninety- five pi- opo. sitions, or theses, against indulgences, penance, purgatory, and tbe authority of the Pope. Thou- sands joined his standard— tbe sale of indulgences decreased, and the alarmed and terrified Pope ordered that the traffic should be entirely discon tinned, aud issued a bull of condemnation again? the bold Reformer— but it was too lale. The Church was shaken to its base, and has been lo Ibis day falling— falling to total decay. Similar causes gave rise to the Reformation which has burst forth in Ireland. Some outrage, iniquity, or abuse of the Church, provoked inquiry and discussion. - Discus, sion produced conviction on the side of truth, and the Word of God went forth unperverted and unincumbered with human ordinances. The re pre sontatives of the Pope in Ireland— the congregate Prelate's — woul^ l fain have stretched out an oppos. itig arm ; but it was too late ; and a few years wi probably see Priestcraft in this country completely overthrown. STATE OF IRELAND. THURLFS, OCTOBER 7. Provisions were never so cheap and plentiful as they are uow in this and the surrounding counties. Whenever there was, in other counties, a scarcity of potatoes, whtch constitute the food of the people of Ireland, hither they resorted, and found an abundant supply. In my last letter, after setting down at length the prices of all the necessaries of life as they may be purchased at the markets here, 1 observed that plenty was not the harbinger of peace, in Ireland, and, in proof of that observation, I enumerated no fewer than six atrocious murders, and the number was less than the reality. Every day brings an account of some new savage outrage. This state of things does not arise from political causes, nor from religious disputes, nor from the exactions of middle- men or of tithe- owners, wbich were often alleged to be the chief sources of dis- turbance and discontent throughout Ireland; but it arises— wonderful as it may seem— from the miser- able desire of the most unfortunate of these people to possess a spot of land. In the breast of every wretched labourer, and cf every barefooted and half- naked son of his, beams au inexpressible passion for a cabin and cabbage garden. The bogs are scooped out and made habitable to these creatures,- the angles of the roads, and the caverns iti the reeks and quarries, are converted into habita- : - lions. Such places as these are the residences of all the travelling tinkers and thieves and horse stealers and labourers in bad repute, who, after an usurpation or a sufferance of some years, claim them by prescription as their inheritance, and prefer hunger and ease, and independence, as they call it, to industry and honest competency, which they might have as servants in the farmer's house. I these cabins they increase and multiply wit astonishing rapidity, and wo be to tIte man who attempts to dispossess them! This is really the source of many acts of atrocity. The late Siib- lettingPrevention Act docs not a fleet these wretches* The Act introduced by Sir John Newport, some years ago, called 44 The Short Ejectment Act," and intended for the easy expulsion of overholdii insolvent, or. intruding small tenants, is inoperative The latest accounts from Calcutta state, that Lord Amherst and family were still on their tour iu Upper India. The' party were almost on the confines ofthe Ghoorkha country. His Lordship continued to enjoy excellent health. The following is an extract of a private letter, dated Calcutta, April 26,1827:— " On the ,24th instant, a dreadful calamity befel this place, vve had no less than five fires, and one 1 wit- nessed; il took place in a native quarter called Jaun. Bazaar, where all t he habitations are bamboo and mat , huts; the fire broke out at about half- past eight o'clock, and in less than a quarter of an hour a space of three- quarters of a mile was in flames. The situation is nearly the centre of Calcutta, and I took a place on the upper terrace G- fla- new- three- storied house to view it. A more appalling sight I never beheld in my life. About the same time wilh the fire there sprung up a violent north- westerly gale, sucli as are usually prevalent here at this season ( the changing of the monsoon). 44 The gale blew with unusual violence, which afforded awful assistance lo the flames, spreading with resistless violence,, opposed or rather met by nothing hut bamboo and'mat huts; these were consumed with the utmost rapidity, and quickly the flames caught a range of bamboo stabling belonging to the principal stable- keeper here. The sight now became frightful in the extreme; one half of Calcutta was visible to the most minute object, by the red flame of the fire, whose yd a re was communicated to all around by the gale, find the Governor's house, fort, river, and shipping, were distinguished on the olher side, by the vivid blue light- ning, which flashed without a moment's intermission, accompanied by surprisingly loud and violent peals of hunder. The whole space mentioned was now in flames, and the poor miserable inhabitants removing in heir fright and haste, their beds and boxes, their poor frighted goats and cattle following instinctively their masters from their sheds, and lowing mournfully. The ses from the livery stables had beeu removed to windward ofthe fire in the early commencement of it, " le. enme frighted at the flames and lightning, and were dieadfully restive, many breaking loose and running in a state of infuriated fear into immense masses of people, kicking and killing, and ultimately running back to the stables from which they had heen disturbed, and in spite of all exertion, numbers there perished in the flames, their cries, and the screaming of birds falling ( as birds usually do) into the flames — the cries of children — Cracking of the flames, and loud thunder, " ormed a most terrific combination of sounds. Amidst nil this might be seen one or two engines, the water from which, once exhausted, no assistance was looked for from them, for there are no water works or fire- plugs here, and all water must he brought by hand ; the ex- treme distance of the river preventing its heing done wilh any benefit. In about au hour the whole Jaun Bazaar, after presenting a vast surface, in a mass of flames, was a scene of awful grandeur; the fire was arrested by the interposition of some innd huts, and the wind lulling for a few moments, and bamboos retaining a red heat for some time alter they had done burning, the whole area of the fire looked like an enchanted garden of red, as vve see represented at Theatres ; but the wittd had done its destructive ofiice. The sparks, pieces of burning wood, and other combustibles, had been carried to a considerable distance ; and no sooner was this fire extinguished, than four others, two of great magnitude, were observed bursting forth. That ou the Mute Bazaar was awfully destructive, and burnt a considerable lime. But the sequel is perhaps as bad as the fire itself; for, at about ten o'clock, the storm came on with increased violence; and the rain which would have assisted in quenching the flames, had it fallen during the fire, now fell in torrents, and ten or twelve thousand poor creatures, who had lost their houses, aud who could have slept in the fields in this climate, had the night been dry, were now for the second time compelled by the rain to seek shelter. The flames raged with fury till next morning at day- break. The number of huts destroyed is 1840, and the worst circumstance is, il is supposed to be the work of some incendiaries. The following account respecting the late defeat of the Taliens, before Rangoon, appears in the Calcutta Papers. Et exhibits a frightful picture of Burman conquest. We had hoped that the miseries more immediately attendant on the late war with Ava would prove ulti- mately conducive lo the happiness and improvement of that part of the eastern world, by bringing it into more close contact with European civilization ; but we regret to say, that since our troops were withdrawn from Ran- , cruelties of the most enormous nature have been perpetrated by the Burmese ou ihe Peguers. En- couraged by the success of the British arms, and per- haps / misconceiving some acts or professions of the British authorities, the Peguers were led to attempt throwing off the Bunnan yoke. In this attempt they have failed ; and at the date of our last advices, were paying the penalty of their revolt. It is not easy to imagine the extent of the cruelly to which they have been exposed. The lower classes are collected together, at ii little distance from Rangoon, drawn up in lines, amounting sometimes 10 a hundred, with their arms pinioned behind them, and in this situation they are literally hacked and hewed to pieces by the Burmese! Such of thein, as are, of more consequence, or have be- come chiefs, iu these days of war and invasion, are brought to Rangoon, and executed. Their heads are taken off, and a piece of wood driven through the mouih fixes them to the ground. Ten or twelve . wretched Peguers were to he seen almost, every other evening in this horrible state, beyond the stockade at Rangoon. Some thousands had attempted an escape across au arm of the sea, to Amherst Town, and hiindruls had perished " Papal church never can have erred, because it is 1 infallible; and being infallible, consequently it can I never change. Which of these conflicting state- ments are we to believe? that of the advocates, put forth for the direct purpose of furthering their cause, and supported by the evidence of their clients, when called upon to be examined with that view; or that of the Romish writers advanced in books, with more or less caution ( according to the temper of the author) in those Which'are designed to meet the eyes of Protestant readers, or explicitly and fiercely proclaimed in those which are intended exclusively for readers of their own communion. The mind of that man must be strangely constituted, who can doubt which representation is the more credible. But there is the evidence of facts. We 1 look to those countries wherein, unhappily for the inhabitants, the papal religion is prevalent, as in Ireland ; or dominant, either absolutely, as in Italy and Spain, or with certain limitations, as in France. If would be superfluous for us to speak of the tyranny of the priests in Ireland, the deplorable superstition of their people, the designs which are carrying on there, and the hopes which are avowed. With what passes in other countries the public are not so well acquainted; and, therefore, courageous statements are sometimes hazarded without fear of contradiction. " For example :— At a Meeting of British Roman Catholics, held on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1826, at the Crown and Anchor, the Rev. Mr. P/ PBonnell is; reported by the newspapers to have said, that wherever the Protestant religion is dominant, there the spirit of intolerance is more malignant, while the countries professing- the Roman Catholic religion were animated by the most liberal sentiments. Upon this the orator was asked by a person in the crowd what he could say to Spain? He made answer, that 4 if there were Protestants in Spain, he was sure they would be admitted to equal rights with the Catholics.' It must be allowed that this little if is a significant word. There are r. o Protestants in Spain ; and tiie reason why there are none, is, that all who were found there during the age of the Reformation were burnt alive, aud any who should have been found there from that time to the present would have partaken the same fate. Who- ever knows any thing of Spain, knows that this is no vague and groundless assertion, but strictly and literally true. They who are not acquainted with that country may find a casein point in the notes to Mr. Blanco White's Practical and Internal Evidence against Catholicism ; or they may refer to it at length in Llorente's Critical History of the Spanish Inquisition. The circumstances are briefly these: — Don Miguel Juan Antonio Solano, who was vicar ofEsco in Arragon, a most useful and excellent man, having diligently studied the Scriptures during a long illness, ' was convinced by that study that the doctrines wherein the Romish differs from the Reformed Church have no foundation in Scripture, but are merely the inventions of men. He drew up an account of his opinions as thus formed, which he delivered into the baud's of his diocesan, and of the theological professors at Zaragoza. . They.,, not from any desire to persecute, but for self-. pres. gr- vation, arid in necessary obedience to the laws, denounced him to the Inquisition. He fled into France^ but soon returned and presented himself to the Holy- Office, that he might by their arguments be reclaim- ed, if he were in error, or abide the consequenccs of bearing witness to the truth. The inquisitor- general was a man strongly suspected of infidelity; but not being heart- hardened by the dreadful, superstition which has so long been the disgrace and the curse of Spain, he was more desirous of saving Solano from martyrdom than Solano himself was of escaping it. Attempts were made to avoid passing sentence upon him, by obtaining a medical opinion that his mind was deranged\ and by this and other humane endeavours the process was delayed, till a timely death slaved him from the stake, and the inquisitors from the necessity of delivering' him over to the secular arm. This case, which so well illustrates the Rev. Mr. M'Donneli's statement, occurred uo longer ago than in the year 1805 " The spirit of popery is not more tolerant in those colonies which have broken their connexion with Spain, and proclaimed principles of political freedom as extensive as the most enthusiastic revolutionist could desire. Twelve months have hardly elapsed since the master of an English merchant ship lost bis life at Buenos Ayres, because he did not dismount in tbe street when the host was carried by, not knowing the custom of the country, and mistaking the pro- cession for a funeral; a man stepped out of the proces- sion, seized him by the thumb, and dragged him from off his horse with such violence that the joint was pulled from the socket and forced through the skin— in consequence of which tetanus was brought on, and death. And no longer ago than July last, the English at Bogota, some, four hundred in number, found it necessary to arm themselves for their own defence, the priests having persuaded the people that Ihe presence of these heretics had been the cause of a late earth- quake ! If we look nearer home, to a more enlightened and liberal country,— to that country where the Romish church exists uiitfer the modifications which, according to its apologists, disarm it of all that is dangerous to the temporal magistrate, or injurious to the rights of the subject,— in a word, to France, with its ecclesiastical liberties and its charter, we shall find, no longer ago than the year which has just expired, that a domiciliated stranger, having become in that country a convert lo the reformed; religion, was not allowed to profess it there. We allude to the case of Prince Constantine of Salm- Salm, which, in November last, appeared in the English newspapers. He was settled vvith his family at Strasbourg, and because he vvould have joined the Lutheran church in that city, he was ordered to leave Fiance. Accordingly he re- moved to Stutgard, and there renounced his com- munion with a church, of whose corruption he had been convinced by a diligent study of the scriptures, and whose intolerance he had thvis experienced. 44 This example, were there uo other, would show what is the temper of the French clergy respecting toleration; at no time since the revocation of the edict of Nantes has it been so bad. At no time since the League has their spirit been so aspiring and so restless; and never at any time have they put forward more audacious or more blasphemous pretensions, as the Apocalypse of Sister Nativity may prove, nor supported those pretensions by more impious and palpable imposture, as we shall proceed to prove still further from her Deuteronomy. What Baronius tells us to observe of the old heretics was more true ofthe Romish priesthood in the days of those very heretics, aud in his own days, audin the days ofthe Abbe Genet, the Abbe Barruel, and Dr. Milner:— 4 quo minus veritate agere posse con- fiderent eo mag is ad iviposturas esse conversos, et, inter alia comp lures faisas revelationes quasi sibi clivinitus allatus, excogitdsse." At Hereford Fair, on Saturday, Oxen declined in price 10 per cent, from the Candlemas fair: fat cows sold at from &| d. to 6d, per Ib.— Fat sheep 6d.— Pigs sold at a trifling advance.— Hops were but a small supply, and were all sold at from 80s. to 90s. per c'wf.

NEW SOUTH WALES.— Description of the equip- ment and fare of a settler on his " quest" after a location : — 4V A horse, with canvas hags for changes of clothes, slung over behind the saddle, with a blanket under to wrap yourself up in at night, x and a light cord round the. horse's neck to tether him by, furnish your personal equipment while upon this qnest ;'" and if pushing into a country, at a distance from settlers, a pack- horse with provisions ought to accompany you, A steady white man.,, who is a good bush- ranger, and a black native, complete your train. v The note of the bell- bird, tink- ling li ke a dull sheep- bell, announces in our dronthv wilds the welcome appearance of water ( a very useful thing to know) ; and toward this sound you may con- fidently proceed. 44 The settlers are generally hospitably disposed, and in these jaunts you are always welcome to such fare and such accommodation as they have it in their power to give. A tinder- box, or powder- flask, conjures, up a fire when yon bivouac in the forest; while a few slips of bark, peeled from a tree, shelter you from the cold and wet ; and with a good fire at your feet, and a tin of hot tea before retiring to rest, you may sleep comfort- ably enough. Your muskets will furnish you with birds of various kinds; and with a brace of g- ood grey- hounds yon will never lack kangaroos and emus ; so that your bush- fare is a true sportsman's feast. You meet with some adventures probably both to astonish and alarm you ; but these mostly end in your amuse- ment. If you should hear a coach whip crack behind, you may instinctively st. art aside to let the mail pass ; but quickly find it is only our native coachman, with his spread- out fan- tail and perked- up crest, whistling and crackling out his whip- like notes as he hops sprucely from branch to branch.

DESPERATE GANG OF SMUGGLERS.— Last week, application was made to Sir Richard Birnie, at Bow- street, for the assistance of one of the principal officers, to apprehend a most desperate gang of smugglers, who had assailed and wounded several of the persons engaged in the Preventive Service, on the coast of Dorsetshire.— Captain Jackson, Inspector on that station, and Lieutenant Sparks, who acts under him, had received instructions to seize upon the smugglers, who, it was expected, would resist and fight to the last extremity; and Sir Richard Birnie immediately directed Bishop to join 011 this hazardous occasion. The smugglers had, on the day the conflict took place, landed 120 tubs of spirits on the beach, when they heard the report of a pistol ( the signal from the watch of the Preventive Service) amongst the cliffs. They were, however, too numerous and too well armed to care about the efforts of so small a number of opponents as that part ofthe country could send against them, and they determined to give the Preventive Service a complete dose. So systematic is the smuggling- plan now become, that those engaged in it ridicule the very name of the Custom- house. When the monied man gives notice ofhis wish to have a quan- tity of spirits, the gangs round about meet at an appointed place with the greatest punctuality, armed with swords, pistols, and instruments called 44 svvingels," short flails, with which they can knock a man's brains out. The place where the spirits were landed on this occasion is called Ringbourn, in the vicinity of St Alban's Head; and the bloody and determined character of the smugglers may be guessed at from the fact that they met those who went to take possession of the 4CCrop," as smuggled goods are called, with a round of ball cartridge. There were between 70 and 80 smugglers, and no more than ten of the Preventive Service, so that the latter were of course overpowered. Several were wounded on both sides, and it is believed that two ofthe smugglers were killed on the spot. During the engagement a few of the Preventive Service, who had concealed themselves in the cliffs, shipped the tubs in their cutter, and before it was con- cluded, they were on their way to the Custom- house. Some of the Preventive Service had taken particular notice of the ringleaders of the gang, and warrants were issued for their apprehension. The principal person, whom the neighbourhood Roman Catholic Intolerance. The following observations, extracted from the Quarterly Review just published, are stated to be from the, pen of Mr. Sou they : — 44 Certain gentlemen, who act. as advocates, in and out of parliament, for the Romanists in their political claims, tell us there is nothing in the doctrines of the Papal church which, can justly be considered obnoxious, nothing dangerous in its pretensions, nothing injurious in its principles: they assure us that the spirit by which that church is actuated, is no longer what it was; upon the solitary security Gf these assurances we are called upon to give the Romanists political power. W demur at this, and ask whether that church admits that it has erred and been deceived in former times, and has therefore abandoned those opinions which it formerly enforced with fire and sword ? In reply, we are told by the Romanists themselves,, that the fWiaceUanmis SntdUgettre, At the Warwick Sessions, Thomas JoJies, joiner, late of Shrewsbury ( who was brought up in custody as a witness in the case of alleged conspiracy at the last Salop Assizes), was found guilty of obtaining apparel and money, tinder false pretences, from William Hunt, a tailor in Birmingham, and was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment.— Jones had represented himself as a maltster to Mr. Hunt, and having obtained the clothes, & c. gave him a bill in payment, purporting to be drawn on a Mr. Edward Lloyd, Liverpool.— The bill turned out to be a fraud ; and Mr. Hunt lost the value of the clothes, and a sum of money paid to Jones as the difference for the fraudulent bill. A man named Robert Taylor, who has for some time outraged the laws of the country, by preaching blasphemy in London, was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, in the Court of King's Bench, 011 Wednesday, and found Guilty. ANTIQUITIES.— Weunderstand that a short time since the ruins of an ancient Roman villa have been discovered on the estate of W. Hill, Esq. at the Leigh, about five miles from this town. - A beauti- ful pavement has been found, upwards of sixty yards of which have been already exposed; and during the process of clearing it, various remains of the Roman inhabitants of the island have been brought to light; amongst which are a number of coins, various domestic utensils, a quantity of pottery, several urns, evidently sepulchral, from their containing bones, & c. The building is sup- posed by some to have been a temple, but this con- jecture is hardly compatible with many of the relics; and the more natural supposition Is that it was the residence of a person of consequence.— Cheltenham Chronicle. MINUTENESS OF ATOMS.— Goldbeaters, by hammering, can reduce gold to leaves so thin, that 282,000 must be laid upon each other to produce the thickness of an inch; yet those leaves are perfect, or without holes, so that one of them laid upon any surface, as in gilding-, gives the appear- ance of solid gold. They are so thin, that if formed into a book, 1,500 would only occupy the space of a single leaf of common paper; and an octavo volume of an inch thick vvould have as many pages as the books ofa well- stocked ordinary library of 1,500 volumes with 400 pages in each. Still thinner than this is the coating of gold upon the silver wire of what is called gold lace, and we are not sure that such coating is not of only one atom thick. Platinum and silver can be drawn into wire much finer than human hair. A grain of blue vitriol, or carmine, will tinge a gallon of water, so that in every drop the colour may bs perceived. A grain of musk will scent a room for twenty years, and will have lost little of its weight. The carrion crow smells its food many miles off. A burning taper uncovered foi* a single instant, during which it does not lose 100th of a grain, would fill with light a sphere four miles in dia- meter, so as to be visible in every part of it. The thread of the silk- worm is so small that many of them are twisted together to form our finest sew- ing thread ; but that of the spider is smaller still, for two drachms of it, by weight, would reach from London to Edinburgh, or 400 miles. Iu the milt of a cod- fish, or in water in which certain vegeta- bles have been infused, the microscope discovers animalcules of which many thousands together do not equal in bulk a grain of sand : and yet nature, with a singular prodigality, has supplied many of these with organs as complex as those ofthe whale or the elephant; and their bodies consist of the same substance, or ultimate atoms, as that o, f man himself. In a single pound of such matter, there are more living creatures than of human beings on the face of this globe. What a scene has the microscope opened to the admiration of the philo- sophic inquirer ! Water, mercury, sulphur, or, in general, any substancej when sufficiently heated, rises as invisible vapour or gas; that is, it is reduced to the aeriform state. Great heat, there- fore, would cause the whole of the material uni- verse to disappear, and the most solid bodies to become as invisible and impalpable as the air we breathe. Few have contemplated an annihilation of the world more complete than this.— Amotfs Elements. FASHION.— Revolutions in fashions have gene- rally arisen from a peculiarity in the dress of some eminent personage to conceal a bodily defect: the homage of flatterers soon induces them to imitate their master ; and, when adopted at court, it vvould take but little to render the custom universal. The close crops of the reign of Francis the First were occasioned by a wound which that Prince received in his head, and which obliged him to have his hair cut off. The beautiful hair of Louis XIV. when a child, introduced the use of perukes with long floating curls. The enormous wigs which suc- ceeded to these, which were adopted by all Europe, but which have now become a mere appendage to the magistracy, were invented towards the end of the seventeenth century, to conceal a slight ine- quality in the shoulders of the Dauphin. Yellow, which, before the siege of Ostcud in 1601, had been held in excessive contempt, was, in conse- quence of the vow made by the Infanta Isabella, 5 wife of the Archduke Albert, brought into vogue under the name Isabella. The vow alluded to was, that she would not change any of the Vestments which she then wore until the place was taken : the siege lasted three years and seventyreight days. Such a lapse of time must have occasioned a singular alteration iii the whiteness of the linen worn immediately next the skin ; and the Arch- duchess never quitted it, conformable to her vow, until the day that she entered the city; and yel- low, which it of course became, was for along time a fashionable colour. Henry II. from a scar he had in his neck, mounted the ruff: and the women, always in extremes, adopted it, but vvith excessive called the Captain of the Gang, keeps a public- house called 44 The Ship," near Woolbridge, on the Weymouth road : his name is Lucas. Captain Jack- son, his assistant, and Bishop, went well armed, at two o'clock in the morning, to Lucas's house. Bishop knocked at the door gently, and the smug- gler asked iu a gruff tone, 44 Who is there?" 44 It's only I," Mr. Lucas, replied Bishop, 44 Mrs. Smith's little girl— I want a little drop of brandy for mother, for she is bad in her bowels." 44 Very well, my dear," cried Lucas, and opening the door, found himself in the formidable grasp of the police- officer. Henry Fooks, of Knovvle, near Corfe Castle, was the next prisoner they took, and him they also seized without a blow upon either side. They afterwards apprehended three other persons, and the five were brought before Mr. Frampton and other Magistrates, at Dorchester, where they un- derwent several examinations. The three latter were discharged, none of the Preventive Service being able to identify them as part of the gang. Lucas and Fooks were fully committed for trial. Three of the Preventive men swore, that Lucas was the most active amongst the gang, aud that Henry Fooks was the second in violence. WntRLWiNDS OF SAND.— I must here notice, among other desultory observations on the desert route, some curious phenomena. It was after crossing one of the travesias or desert plains, on reaching an eminence, that I saw them. We cal- culated that there was a considerable population 011 the ground we were approaching, from numer- ous columns which arose before us, apparently of smoke. But they mounted in the ai? perpendicu- larly, and for this we could not account, as it blew a gale at the time. Still thinking it strange that smoke should thus ascend, we journeyed onward down into the plains themselves where they arose. We now discovered that they were whirlwinds of sand. On getting into their vortex, which hap- pened several times, we found it no very agree- able thing, for, independently of the indraught threatening every moment to take the mule off its legs, they were attended with a dizzy, confusing, whizzing* noise, astounding to the rider, while the mule knew not whether to standstill or advance. To shut our eyes, and spur the animal forward, was our only mode of escaping* from their power. These winds must act on a considerable surface at once, as they swept onward with us, at times, maintaining their spiral, circular form. At a dis- tance tbe columns never appeared to move laterally, but only to mount up into the air as smoke from a rancho fire. It is probable they are carried far before the wind, and that by this means many dis- tricts, formerly fertile, have been rendered barren wastes, showers of sand from the columns being borne irresistibly along. Something of this nature may account for the country arouud the ancient Indian burying- ground becoming a desert, for cities and fertility must have existed there.— Andrews^ s Journey. CONDITION OF CHRISTIANS IN TURKEY.— The Christians are open to a thousand claims, and frequently have their property and their houses seized by a stranger, without a chance of obtaining redress. If a Mussulman kills a Christian, even from deliberate malice, the law, which condemns the offender, is not executed, and the criminal escapes vvith impunity : the least blow of a Chris- tian against a Mussulman is visited with the heavi- est penalty. The Christians are obliged to live in houses of a dark hue, to wear a dress of dark colour, and, above all, not to wear a green turban, a white shawl, or yellow slippers. If they have fine houses, they must take care that the outside has a shabby appearance : if they have handsome horses, they do not dare to ride them themselves Degrading as these distinctions are, however, they form but a small part of the sufferings of the Christians. The iron which galled their necks was not so much the subjection of a people to an oppressive government, as the subjection of nation to a hostile nation. The meanest Turk might treat the highest Christian with contumely and insuit; a Mussulman, seeing' a Greek seated in his shop, might call him forth, and make him load his baggage horse, or perform any other menial office ; the oldest and most venerable Greek might be openly struck and buffcttcd by the youngest and lowest of Mahometans: all with impunity. The practice of carrying arms leads to the prompt indulgence of every passion; and it may well be imagined what was the condition of men of a religion that is hated, and a race that is despised, living in the constant presence of masters who have pistols at their belt, and swords by thei sides. The limbs, and even the lives, of th Greeks, were at the mercy of every gust of passion, and they were maimed or murdered vvith less Many of the journals have noticed from <£ the Report of the Emigration Committee," the popu- lation, imports, and exports of our North American; colonies, viz. 1806. 1825. Population 499,412 873,453 Imports fiom these colonies to Britain 385,842 1,312,911 Exports to ditto from ditto..., 976,058 2,246,22S This short statement is well worth consideration ; it appears from it that a population of 873,453 takes annually from us goods to the value of £ 2,246,228,: and that this population and this consumption of our goods have both doubled themselves in 18 years. It may not be generally known, that of this sum of £ 2,246,228, about two millions is of our home manu- facturesy whilst our import from the same colonies amounts to no more than £ 1,312,911, and is com- posed of bulky produce, the principal value of which is made up of labour and freight, viz. timber, ashes, and a certain quantity of grain ; and actually gives employment to 800,000 tons of our own shipping, to 40,000 seamen, and many millions of British capital invested in our merchant vessels,, exclusive of the operatives employed in our manu- factures. It may be fairly stated that our colonies afford the only steady increasing markets now existing for our manufactures, and that their demand for them is only limited by the extent that the home market offers for their productions. Thus, if the imports from the North American colonies amount to three or four millions, it cannot be doubted that the full ! amount vvould be returned in our manufactures to a population born and brought up in all the wants and luxuries of fhe mother country. And with colonies such as Great Britain possesses in every climate of the habitable globe, there need be no want of the foreign productions of the earth, or of markets for our manufactures, if the colonial trade was fostered, as a. home trade. Let us now see how the state of our trade stands with our most favoured foreign customers, the reciprocity countries; Prussia, Svyeden, and Den- mark, together with all their wealth and population according to the official returns, take annually less than £ 800,000, of which £ 300,000 is in manufac- tures, whilst vve import from them more than they take from us, the articles so brought being precisely the same as could be imported to any extent from our North American possessions. This reciprocity trade at the same time employing only 330,427 tons of British shipping. It may likewise be mentioned that whilst our imports from these countries in- crease, our exports decrease, and vve are fast losing these markets, either from the effects of duties, fashions, prohibitions, or the encouragement and growth of their own manufactures. Surely considerations such as these will show the propriety and policy, if not the justice and neces- sity, of doing all we can to promote our own colonial commerce. eration.— The Paris Spectator. BATH.— At the Board of Commissioners of Police, held on Thursday, it was resolved to employ fifteen extra patroles, to commence duty immediately, from six in the evening till ten at night, during- the six winter months. This excellent regulation will greatly protect both shops and private houses from the gangs of juvenile depredators, who have, for many winters past, chosen those hours for their schemes of pillage. The Court of Correctional Police in Paris recently condemned a girl to five years' imprisonment, for a theft attended with aggravating circumstances. At this trial, one of the witnesses having come for- ward to be sworn— 44 Take off your glove," said the President, 4< you should know that persons do not come with gloves on to take an oath before a Court of Justice." 44 I beg your pardon, Mr. President, I have no gloves. These are my hands— lama dyer" thought than the mildest rebuke is given by an English magistrate. These are the things which, borne quietly by dastard souls, sink deep in the minds of a people who begin to have a sense of shame or honour; these are the injuries which long- suffered and long unresented, are yet entered iu the great book of a nation, and are at length repaid with a vengeance not less full or less cruel than the wrongs they have endured. Such beino- the vicious system of Turkish government, it is natural, and almost consolatory, to find that the effects it produces are weakness to the sovereign and desolation to the state. The revenue which the Sultan collects from the best part of the Roman empire has been estimated at between three and four millions sterling. Literary Gazette. The quantity of eider expected to be made in Worcestershire and Herefordshire this year, will exceed that of any former one for a very consider- able period, there being very little demand in the market for fruit for the northern counties, compared with previous seasons, in consequence of the cul- tivation of many fruit trees in those districts, and which are now in . nil bearing. A cucumber vine, in Mr. Burden's garden, at Blandford, has produced this season upwards of COO cucumbers— 400 of a full size, aud 200 gerkius, and is still in full bearing : it is of the Levaut kind.

CONSTANTINOPLE.— Extract of a letter:— Con- stantinople is now a confused mass of ill- built and wooden houses, rising one above the other from the water- side, and surmounted by numerous domett and minarets; altogether there is more sameness than in any place I have yet visited; there is but one square, no good street, very few public build- ings of note, and the houses almost entirely in the same style of architecture— they are exclusively built of wood, one story projecting beyond the other ; the exterior is generally a dirty red, and the windows, which are seldom glazed, are covered with a grating so closely reticulated as barely to admit the light. The interior is divided into two parts— the one appropriated to the women is termed a harem, and is never entered, even by the male relatives of the wives. Tbe shops are all open warehouses; the proprietor sits cross- legged, near the entrance; the principal articles of merchandize are saddlery, sweetmeats, and tobacco— the three great staples of Turkish commerce. The streets are very narrow, and so badly paved that they are not passable in any carriage whatever. The roofs ofthe houses nearly meet— so that air and sunshine have scarcely any ingress where, above all places n tbe world, they are most wanted. We are now, believe, in the 1,070th year of the Hegyra, and, probably, Constantinople is now what London might have been at a similar period of the Christian era. 1 observed nearly all the suburbs of Galata newly built; this was occasioned by a recent fire, which consumed several thousand houses.— The destructive effects of the fire last summer are dis- tinctly visible, and an enormous gap still remains, though the new buildings are iu rapid progress.— Never was there a place of any importance where there is so little to be seen as at Constantinople.— A few days are quite sufficient to satisfy the cu- riosity of the most inquisitive. Busy and crowded as the water side and the interior of the city may be, the skirts of the town within the walls ( which I had an opportunity of seeing, to a considerable extent) are desolate in the extreme. These narrow streets appear to be the abode of disease and death. Many of the houses are in ruins, and all in a state of decay ; scarcely an individual is to be seen, but the appearance of a beggar at the corner of the streets ; or of an aged and sickly looking female who has ventured to leave her prison, probably to call upon a neighbour, may convince a traveller lhat their filthy precincts are not uninhabited ; dogs innumerable lie basking on the sunny sides of the sti eets, and hosts of cats enjoying themselves in the same way on the roofs of the houses, though in their rambles these animals are frequently in- strumental in communicating the plague from one family to another. This dreary part nf the town is occasionally enlivened by a few gardens, which are cultivated principally by the Greeks: this is a general ontli lie of the town. The population, in- cluding Pera, Galata, and Scutari, is supposed to amount to nearly a million, of which no less than 200,000 are Greeks, Jews, and Armenians. There are nearly 10,000 Franks. This term is applied to all residents or strangers who wear the European dress: and a hat instead of a turban. I understand there is but one printing press in Constantinople, so that the usual sources of public information are unknown. There are no theatres or assemblies; indeed, the only places of public amusement or resort are the innumerable cort'atMhtjuses, which are frequented by every class of tli'ii& rwMstematic idlers.
