EDDOWBS, Shrewsbury, and all other Booksellers. Tho Preface, explaining the Plan of the Work and the Motives which induced the Undertaking, may be had gratis. FTP [ IE Honourable Board being willing to I dispose of all their FREEHOLD LAND and PREMISES, pleasantly and advantageously situated within one Mile and a Quarter of Shrewsbury, on the London Road, kn: vwn or called the ORDNANCE DEPOT, consisting of a large, substantially well- built Armoury, two Fire- Proof Buildings ( formerly used as Maga- zines), four neat and commodious Dwelling Houses, • with Out- Houses, Offices, and a Range. of Sheds, the Whole surrounded hy a Brick Wall, and Garden Ground attached. It is considered well worth the Attention of Gentlemen, Builders, and others, con- vertible at a little Expense into many useful and lucrative Purposes. The Board have therefore desired, that any Offers for the Purchase of them be received by Captain .1. S. KITS ON, Commanding Royal Engineer, North Bat- tery. Liverpool; or by J. LINTON, Esq. on the Premises, Who will give Permission for viewing the same ; and any further Particulars may be had ( by applying to the above- named Persons) either person- ally," or by Letter Post- paid. HAVE RECENTLY BEEN PUBLISHED FOR THE USE OF YOUNG PERSONS: A NEW AND COMPREHENSIVE DRAWING BOOK, on an improved Plan; or, A SERIES OF PRACTICAL I INSTRUCTIONS IN LANDSCAPE- PAINTING IN WATER- COLOURS. Containing Directions, for Sketching from Nature, and the Application of Perspective; Progressive Lessons in Drawing, from the tinted Sketch to the finished Subject ; and Exam- ples of the Introduction of Figures, Architectural Subjects, particular Effects, & c. as connected with Landscape- Scenery. By JOHN CLARK. Illustrated by Fifty- five Views from Nature, Descriptive Objects, & c. & c. This work is the result of long experience, the Author having heen engaged more than thirty years in the study and practice of the art; it is therefore hoped .. that ihe Instructions it contains are such as will facili- tate a knowledge of Drawing, and at the same time p inculcate a pure taste in this delightful amusement. All the Views are mounted separately on drab- coloured Card hoard, iu imitation of Drawings, so that the members of the most numerous Family, or indeed fifty- five persons,' might he occupied in inspecting or copying from them al. the same time, without inconve- nience; an advantage which does not pertain to any Drawing- Book hitherto published. The Views, together with the Four Parts of Descrip- tive Letter- press, are all contained in a strong and handsome box, covered with leather, and resembling a royal 4to. volume; thus presenting an elegant appear- ance either on the library shelf or the parlour table. The price of the Work is Six Guineas ; a sum which does not exceed what is usually paid to a Drawing- Master for twelve lessons. " Those of our fair readers and friends who possess Mr. Clark's Portable Diorama, or either Of his two Myrioramas, will know of what beauty, and utility in productions of art he is capable; and the same perform- ances, or Urania's Mirror, will serve to shew them the handsome manner iu which the Publisher sends forth works of this class? if we add that none of these can be I compared either for beauty or mility to the present I design, we are only doing justice to ail parties, and I preparing the public for a very elegant production, j Altogether we have seen nothing so excellent as a code of tuition, nor so well adapted for the delight of persons I of taste ( especially ladies), who may desire to prosecute j the charming accomplishment which it is the object of j this work to render as easy of acquisition, as admirable when acquired. It is with great propriety dedicated I ( by permission; to the Duchess of Kent; and the J numerous order in our rich country who can afford to I indulge in studies of this refined character, will do I well to become her Royal Highnesses imitators by J patronising so meritorious and interesting a publica tion."— LITERARY GAZETTE. 2.

It agitates the M- uid, causes frightful Ideas and horrid Dreams, aud ultimately renders them fearful of being left alone for a few M mutes ! Depraved Appetite, Trembling of the Limbs, Weakness of Body, and Inconstancy of Mind, peculiarly characterize them, and make the accustomed Duties of Life laborious and wearisome. SOLOMON'S COR- DIAL BALM OF G1 LEA D attacks this Hydra with astonishing. Success, and may be resorted to with the greatest Confidence. Sold by W. and J. EDDOWES, and all other Medicine , Venders, in Bottles, Price l is. each, or four in one Family Bottle for 33s. by which one lis. Bottle issaved.

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 iu 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 the 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, particularly on the Origin aud Treatment of such Disorders as result from imprudence and fashionable Vices.

It ia now something more than a month since any communication has Beeu received from Mr. Stratford Canning*, and when we consider, first,— that twenty, or two- and- fwenty days'are sufficient for the ordinary convey- ance of news, and, secondly, ihe deeply important character of the intelligence which was to be expected after the sitting of the Divan on the 11th, the non- arrival of a messenger can fee accounted for, in our opinion,, only by . the fact of a positive interdiction of his; departure. Such an interdiction, too, would folfow as fhe result of a hostile deter- mination on the part of the forte. The Sultan, if determined on war, would consider it as a manifest advantage, on his side, to be able to pursue his plans for a time without the knowledgeof his inten- tions transpiring beyond the precincts of his own capital. AM the accounts, vague and general as they are, from Odessa, J'assy, and Bucharest,- seem to prepare us for such an issue, as well as the follow- ing article in the Allgimeine Zeilung of the 3d inst. received this morning.- VIENNA, Nov. 28. Tbe mail from Constantinople, which will bring Tetters to 10th Nov. has not. yet arrived, ft seems that ; since tbe intercourse between tbe Ambassadors nf France, Rutland, and Russia, and tbe Turkish Minister, has been broken off, no more couriers of J- hose Ambassadors'are allowed to be dispatched.

Mrs. Hodgson was a native of New York, and, after some years1 residence in Jamaica, removed to this country, and lived several years at Wein. She was of a disposition so conciliating and amiable, that she gathered around her a veiy large circle of friends who held her in great respect and esteem, and who now mourn her loss. Her character, as a friend, was that of unallowed SINCERITY, without any mixture of deceit, fickleness,, or harshness. Perhaps there is not a single friend who remembers her having said any thing that would wound the most sensitive mind. Her kindness, to the poor was very extensive, and afforded an example worthy of the imitation of all. Her attention to her devotional exercises was conscientious and scrupulous, but did not rest in-'* the form of godliness," without the power of it. She died, apparently, iu the exercise of prayer, declaring distinctly that all her hopes for eternal life were built upon the great atonement and intercession of the Divine Redeemer.

A Fire broke out in a waggon- horse stable of Mr. Nicholls, of Catstree, in the parish of Worfield, near Bridgnorth, on Thursday evening last, about six o'clock, which consumed two stables, two cow- houses, and one large barn, together with a quan- tity of barley ( threshed and untlireshed), and a barley rick nearly adjoining, ( the whole supposed " to contain from 400 to 500 bushels); one waggon horse was burnt to dealh, and two others were so much scorched that it was thought best to put an end to their sufferings ; one good waggon, a large quantity of hurdles, ploughs, harrows, and various other implements, & c. & c. were also consumed.— The wind being high at the time tlie fire first broke out, it raged with such irresistible fury, that in about a quarter of an hour the whole was a heap of ruins.— Some fire- engines speedily arrived on the spot, or most probably several other large ricks of barley, hay, fodder, & c. together with the neigh- bouring buildings of Mr. Stokes, would have been destroyed.— The loss, it is supposed, will amount to £ 1000.

The deliberations of the Country Bankers, at their meetings in London, have been conducted with so much privacy, that little has hitherto transpired. XTnder these circumstances, it gives us pleasure to be enabled to lay before our readers, from authority, the earliest account of their pro ceedings, together with a copy of the resolutions adopted at their second meeting on Friday,- and transmitted, in the course of the same afternoon, to Lord Goderich. On Wednesday last, a considerable number of the principal Country Bankers assembled at the Old London Tavern, to form a Committee for the pur- pose of protecting their common interests, more especially in reference to the endeavours of the Bank of England to extend their monopoly by means cf Branch Banks. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY, Bart. M. P. was unanimously requested to take the chair, and JOHN EASTHOFE, Esq. M P. was also unanimously requested to continue his services as Honorary Secretary. After some other preliminary arrangements, the chairman briefly addressed the meeting, and invited gentlemen to express their sentiments freely, in order that they might learn each other's opinions upon the occasion of their assembling, and that they might mature and embody them in their resolutions. He should reserve his further observations until a future meeting, and recommended calm deliberation. He concluded by inquiring if gentlemen were prepared to offer any propositions. WILLIAM BECKETT, Esq. of Leeds, then read a series of resolutions, which had been drawn up in order to save the time cf the meeting. But he earnestly recommended that if their general tenor should be approved of, each resolution, with a'uy others that might be added, should undergo careful examination. The gentlemen who had assisted in preparing them had endeavoured to preserve mo- deration as well as firmness, and to avoid the ex- pression of hostile feelings. The resolutions were seconded by P. M. JAMES, Esq, of Birmingham, who expressed his wish that they should be considered as materials for discus- sion, rather than for hasty adoption. He particu- larly recommended the exercise of moderation at the outset of their proceedings, as being most con- sistent with the justice of their cause. It would be easy to increase in energy as future occasion might require. Several other gentlemen also addressed the meet- ing; amongst others J. S. Harford, Esq. and Bail lie, Esq. both of Bristol ; Joseph Pitt, Esq. M. P.; J. J. Guest, Esq. M. P.; William Rickford, Esq. M. P.; Richard Spooner, Esq ; Deane John Parker, Esq. of Canterbury; William Birkbeck, Esq. of Settle; and John Wright, Esq. of Notting- ham. The general sentiment was in favour of moderate measures, - Whilst a determination was expressed to seek redress by every constitutional means. A select committee of seventeen persons was appointed, to whom the resolutions were re- ferred. The meeting then adjourned to Friday. The adjourned meeting was held accordingly, when the Honourable Chairman said that the reso- lutions which he was about to read had been care- felly prepared, aud had been unanimously agreed to by the select committee. Each resolution was subsequently moved and seconded by William Beckett and J. S. Harford, Esqrs. arid passed unanimously. Upon the reading ofthe seventh resolution, the names of Richard Spooner and W. Dilworth Crewdson, Esqrs. were added to the Deputation, The meeting adjourned to a future day, to receive their report of the interview with his Majesty's Ministers. The following are the resolutions:-— " That this meeting disclaims every sentiment of hostility to the Bank of England upon its original principles, being firmly persuaded that the Bank of England arid Ihe various other banking establishments of the kingdom have together long been found to promote the interests of tbe public, and to afford a salutary check upon each other. That the late measures of the Bank of England in Hblishinent of Branch Ranks have the evident A very unhandsome attack has again been put forth against the enlightened Bishop of Chester. It was originated by a London paper, and has been copied with avidity by several provincial ones, some of whom have volunteered their tribute of comment additional to the original gross assertion. The whole statement is contradicted from authority, as being utterly destitute of foundation. Though snch in- decent personalities, which ase too common iu the Press of the present day, can obtain no acceptation in the minds of the sober and the dispassionate, but will on the contrary be read with their deepest re- probation, it is fortunate when the malignity which prompts them is levelled against individuals of such exalted rank and pure conduct as to carry with it a direct antidote. That this is peculiarly the case in the present instance of the learned Bishop Blomfield, the erudite champion ofthe Protestant Church, will at once be admitted by all who can refer to his pastoral course with an unprejudiced disposition. Thomas William Giffard, Esq. of Chillington Ilall, in the parish of Brewood, ( the present worthy re- presentative of the very ancient, and respectable family of that name,) lately gave towards re- pewing. the parish church of Brewoocfj the handsome sum of £ 200. He has given also a considerable quantity of land to enlarge the church yard, and stone from his quarry to enclose the same by a wall five feet high. And to complete his liberality, Mr. Giffard recom- mended the Brewood select vestry to levy a church rate, to pay off all outstanding claims on account of the new pewing; and stated that, he would pay the rate for the whole of his tenantry. This will amount to upwards of £ 100, nearly one- half of the rate about to be collected. BISHOP RYDER.— This worthy Prelate, faithful in the important offices of his Ministry, seems un- wearied in the works of righteousness. On Wed- nesday, the 21st ult. he preached a Consecration Sermon at Hanford Chapel, in the parish of Trenfham; the next day he attended at Bilderstone, to lay the first stone of a new Church, to be built and endowed by Ralph Bourne, Esq.; and on the following Wed- nesday he took the chair at Birmingham, at a Meet ijig of the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge. The price of Corn seems to be now nearly as high at present in many parts of France as in England. The ports of France opposite to England are open to importation. A Court for the relief of Insolvent Debtors was held in this town on Wednesday; when Benjamin Giles late of Hawkswood, farmer ; Robert Wilding, of Shrewsbury, butcher; Morris Allen, of Shrews- bury, blacksmith ; John Clee, of Angel Bank, Bitterley? stone- mason; and William Lloyd, of Oswestry, leather- dresser, were heard upon their several petitions, and discharged. TO MALTSTERS. tlx tendency to subvert the general banking system that has long existed throughout the country, and which has grown up with and been adapted to the wants and the conveniences ofthe public. u That it can be distinctly proved that tbe pro sperity of trade, the support of agriculture, the in- crease of general improvement, and the productiveness of national revenue, are intimately connected with the existing system of banking. (< That the Country Bankers would not complain of rival establishments founded upon equal terms; but they do complain of heing required to compete with a great company, possessing a monopoly and exclusive privileges. " That should this great Corporation, conducted by Directors who are not personally responsible, succeed by means of those exclusive advantages in their ap- parent object of supplanting; the existing banking establishments, they will thereby be rendered masters of the circulation of the country, which they will be enabled to contract or to expand according to their own will, and thus be armed with a tremendous power and influence, dangerous to the stability of property and to the independence of the country. " That a deputation be appointed to request, an interview with Lord Viscount Goderich and the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer to present the above resolu- tions, to offer any explanation which the practice and experience of the deputation may enable them to afford, and to urge the Lord Viscount Goderich and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take their case into consideration, and to grant sucb relief as may be just to the country bankers and beneficial to the public. u That this deputation do consist of Sir John Wrot- tesley, Bart.

A rumour prevails, that among other measures on the subject of llie Finances of the country, Ministers have been sedulously employed in considering: the expediency of recommending a tax on real property, a- one of ihe most efficient and productive means of r a i sing a reveu ue in t he' 1 east ex pensive mode. A n embarrassing uncertainty hangs over the affairs of Turkey and Greece, Government having received no confirmation or denial ofthe accounts which have reached this country by the way of France, that the Ambassadors of the Allied Powers have quitted Constantinople in consequence of a notice from the Sultan, and that negotiation was at an end. Many private statements, however, corroborate this in- telligence, and stamp it with an air of probability. The public securities have declined from the effects of the rumours, and war is confidently spoken of as unavoidable, if not actually commenced. It does not appear necessary, on a fair comparison of all the circumstances which are arrayed in support of this conclusion, to give it unqualified belief. Ulterior measures, even should a rupture of the negotiations have been incurred, are to be carefully discussed by the Allies before hostilities are renewed, and before any measure of the nature of an attack upon the dominions of the Porte is adopted. The policy of Austria and the ambition of Russia are fruitful grounds of discussion, but it cannot be supposed that the other Powers who have interested them- selves in the affairs of Greece are blind to the objects which would most gratify those particular States. If the good faith which ought to bind the Allies in one common pursuit be abandoned, then evils of the greatest magnitude must certainly have to be en- countered^ and in the absence of real information, this painful topic is urged with the importance of an ascertained truth. A little time will assure the Country of its real position, and whether the whole of the proceedings in which it is embarked be of a Quixotic description. Peace is the blessing which she covets and requires to enjoy, and we hope, much as the possession of it is hazarded by recent events, that she will be able to hold it in honourable posses- sion. CIRCULAR. WII1T E H A L L, D E C. 5. MY LORD,— His Majesty's GoverUrne- nt being most desirous to effect every practicable reduction in those branches of the public expenditure, where it may be found consistent with tbe honour and safety of the country, I have the King's commands to acquaint your —, that it is intended lo release from their present military engagements, all corps of yeomanry cavalry in those districts where il has been found, from the experience of the last, ten years, they have been very seldom or never called upon to act iu aid of the civil power, and where there appears no reason to apprehend, under any probable . circumstances, the recurrence of any necessity, in time of peace, to call for their services. lain, therefore, to request your— to acquaint the commandant and officers of the in the county of that no allowances will be issued for their maintenance after the 24th instant. I am further commanded by his Majesty to desire, that your will assure the command iij'g officer, and, through him, tbe commissioned and non- commis- sioned officers and privates of each corps,, that his Majesty is deeply sensible of the zeal and patriotism uniformly displayed by those highly respectable bodies, from the time of their services being first called into action ( under the pressure of the war) down to the present moment, whenever their services have been required ; and it is bis Majesty's pleasure, as a mark of his royal approbation, that the officers of every yeomanry corps now subsisting should retain the rank and honours belonging to their respecti ve commissions 1 have tbe honour to be, my Lord, Your most obedient humble servant, ( Signed) LA N SHOWN E. His Majesty's Lieutenant of the County of For the Salopian Journal. It canndt but be gratifying to every maltster who reads the Salopian Journal, t'O see therein published a Memorial from the Maltsters of Shrop- shire and Montgomeryshire, to be presented to the Lords of, His Majesty's Treasury, praying to be relieved from certain oppressive clauses of an Act of last Session of Parliament. The lamb- like patience with which the maltsters have for so long time suffered themselves to be shorn of their property by fiscal tyranny, and deprived of the reasonable privilege of preparing their malt according to the best of their judgment and ability, by that potent sceptre of authority, an exciseman's stick, was no less injurious to their own interests, than to that of the public, for whom they prepared a very much deteriorated article, and from which it is impossible to brew such a cheap, pleasant, or wholesome beverage, as that which our forefathers drank to strengthen them in their days of toil, or to cheer them in their even- ings of jollity. Some of the clauses in the Act above referred to, are so preposterous, so eminently absurd and tyrannical, that fhe framers of it must have enter- tained a very high opinion of the placidity of maUsters in circumstances of oppression, and had they been as submissive under their new burden, as their oppressors calculated upon, when a new dictionary had been compiled for the use of our legislators and rulers, part of the definition of " Maltster" would probably have been—" Traders, the most submissive under the- heaviest burdens of taxation: slaves, that the most weak and wicked Minister may trample on without fear of resist- ance." But, in proportion as was the confidence of the framers of this precious piece of legislation in the placidity of the maltsters, is, no doubt, their confusion and dismay at the spirited stand, the determined resistance, which has been and will be made to those measures, by which it is sought not only to deprive the maltsters of the privileges of Englishmen, but of the first and commonest rights of nature— that of supporting themselves and families by their labour or their ingenuity. As my fellow- tradesmen have made a good be- ginning, I hope they will patiently and persever- ingly follow it up; and by cordially co- operating with the London Committee, either by sending de- puties, or in any other way that maybe thought most advisable, shew to His Majesty's Ministers, and to the public, ( whose sympathy and support I think they deserve,) that " they know their rights, and knowing dare maintain them." But this is not a question in which those only are concerned who are engaged in the malting busi- ness. It is a direct attack upon, it is a perceptible abridgement of, the rights and privileges of Eng- lishmen. For in what does national liberty con- sist, but in the liberty of each individual composing a nation? And is it not as reasonable to say, that a part is equal to the whole, as to say, that British liberty is still undiminished in its extent, and un- shorn of its splendour, when ten thousand British subjects are wilfully and wantonly deprived of their natural rights and national privileges? But having bound the maltsters with the heavy chain of fiscal bondage, will other traders never be made to feel its galling weight? Availing myself of a metaphor used by the late Mr. Canning, I would say, this is- but the small end of the wedge, which is here introduced into a cleft in our liberties left open by the patience and forbearance of maltsters, which at some future period will be driven by the Treasury sledge hammer, until it has destroyed every particle of freedom we enjoy, every privilege of which we boast. If it should be supposed? that what I have writ- ten was dictated by hostility to His Majesty Government, I beg leave to say that such a sup- position is erroneous. I am attached to the pre- sent Ministry, because, generally speaking, on all great questions of foreign and domestic policy my opinions coincide with theirs : and with respect to this bungling, execrated Malt Act, 1 believe they have been misled by false information, by mistaken views ofthe nature of the business they were legis- lating upon, and by exaggerated statements of the extent to which the revenue had been defrauded: and I have no doubt but that they will be found ready to grant the relief sought, when the malt- sters have, by correct information, true state- ments, and practical views of the nature of the malting business, convinced them that the revenue can be safely and equally collected without the present oppressive and inquisitorial restrictions. Let not my fellow- tradesmen think the thing may rest here : men are not very easily convinced in opposition to their interests, or prejudices: you must be firm, persevering, and unanimous : remem- ber, the eyes of your countrymen are upon you, and posterity will bless, or execrate, your memory, as you faithfully preserve, or basely betray, your rights and theirs.

Tbe public road was rendered impassable in several places; plats were either broken down or filled up ; greal excavations were made; and much meadow land covered with stones and rubbish. The water made its way through the farm yard at Penylan, and ihe injury ' sustained by John Mytton, Esq. alone ( to the , hiHlUii( gs, threshing machine, & c. & c )- is very considerable.

The Albion aud Genoa were also lying there. The whole fleet left Navarin without a gun being fired at them. The Russian squadron, during the action, had two Oarers and 58 men killed, and about 120 wounded. The wounded of our own squadron were generally doing remarkably well. The following is an extract of a letter from Malta, , dated 10th Nov. 1827.—" The first part of the English squadron arrived here on the ; 31st ultimo, the remainder on the 3d instant, and ou the 8th the Russian fleet,- a French 74, and a schooner. They are all severely handled. The harbour of Malta has not witnessed so pleasing* a sight for many years. The Cambrian and Glasgow frigates were instantly dispatched after the action, to Smyrna and Con- stantinople, to apprise the respective Ambassadors, Consuls, and subjects, of what had transpired, with orders at the same time to give every assistance, as circumstances might require. The Susan, Captain Bel!, came in last night from Tripoli, bringing our Consul Warrington's family; this appearance of things does not look well— for, if apprehension is entertained in the Barbary States, what may we not look for from Smyrna and the capital? We must hope for the best." His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral stated, on Friday night, at the anniversary dinner of the Scottish Hospital, that on the morning on which he was informed of his appointment to the head of the Admiralty, he had uo more knowledge of the intended post than his shoe black. It is rumoured that the Marquis of Anglesea, in conformity with the advice of his physicians, has signified his wish to decline the Vice- Regency of Ireland; and that Ministers are at this time deliberating upon the choice of a Nobleman to fill that high office. Lord Lansdowne is instituting an enquiry at the Police Offices of the Metropolis respecting the par- ties engaged in negociating for the restoration of the Warwick Bank Notes. The Dean and Chapter of Chester have presented the Rev. J. Eaton, M. A. F. S. A. formerly of Catherine Flail, to the Rectory of Handley, in that county.— The Dean and Chapter hav6 also presented the Rev. Unwin Clarke, M. A. to the Vicarage of Neston ; the Rev. Archdeacon Wrangham, M. A. F. R. S. to the Roctory of Doddleston; the Rev. G. B. Blomfield, M. A. to the Rectory of Coddington, all in the county of Chester; and the Rev. William Harrison, M. A. to the Vicarage of St. Oswald, Chester. DREADFUL AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.— Friday evening, a dreadful affray occurred on the estate of Sir Georee Armytage, Bart, of Kirklees Hall, near Hnddersfield. A number of men met together, and, it is conjectured, being aware of the absence of the worthy Baronet at the concert at Wake'field, re- solved to enter his grounds in search of game, aud they commenced their design at a late hour at night. The party consisted of about a dozen, several of whom were well armed, either for killing* game or for repelling those who should resist them. They had not long been occupied when they came in close contact with the gamekeepers and their assistants, about half a mile from the Hall, and near to Nun- brook. After some parleying and many threats, each of the parties apparently determined to try their Strength. The deadly contest commenced, the gamekeepers and watchers fighting at fearful odds, using no weapons of defence but the bludgeons with which they were armed. After a stout contest, the g- amekeepers were worsted, aud sought safety in flight. An express vvas as soon as possible sent off to Sir George, who arrived shortly after. The re- sult of this dreadful encounter is, that Uriah Bulmer, a watcher, was killed on tbe spot, John Green, keeper, and George Clayton, watcher, so bruised in the head as to leave but slight hopes of re overy. John Clayton, brother to the last- mentioned, received twenty shots in the abdomen, and about halfa dozen others of the gamekeepers' party were seriously in- jured. Five of the poachers are in custody, namely, John Stringer. James Scholis, Samuel Smith, Joseph Brooke, and Isaac Beutley. It is said that nine others have absconded.— An inquest was to be held yesterday on Bulmer by Mr Stocks, corn er.— Leeds Patriot. Late upon Wednesday night, as Watkins, one of the city watchmen, was upou his beat, he observed a man riding a horse down the High street, and think- ing his appearance somewhat suspicious, hestopped him, and enquired where he was going. The man said he was taking the horse to a fair for a respectable farmer at Lulsley, hut his confused manner, and the discovery that the saddle was without stirrups, still further strengthening Walkins's suspicions, lie, very properly, took both horse and rider into his keeping. Yesterday, enquiry was made relative to the matter of the individual at Lulsley, named by the prisoner, but who denied all knowledge of the transaction ; he then said he came from the vicinity of Leominster; there appears to he, however, no doubt of the horse having beeu stolen, and we give a description of the animal, iu the hopes that its detention here may reach the knowledge of the owner. It is a brown gelding, between the nag and cart breed; rising four; has three white legs, with star on forehead ; and switch tail.— Worcester Herald. Major Eckersley, who has long been stationed in Manchester as brigade- major of the district, is about to go to the West Indies, having received an appointment in Barbadoes.

Yearsly, Pile, Os- borne, and Alg- ar, four of the Overseers of the united parishes of St. Giles in the Fields, and St. George, Bloomsbury, appeared at this office, to ask the Magis- trates' advice on the following- case :— There were at present, and had heen for a length of time, two hun- dred children of tbe united parishes educated at establishments provided by the parish at Finch ley and Hindoo, in the neighbourhood of London. Now, however, a Mr. Thissleton, of Great Russel- street, Bloomsbury, printer, one of the Churchwardens, was about earrrying the children to an establishment, w hich he has taken at Heston, fifteen miles from town, and which he has put entirely under the direction of his own or his wife's relations. For this measure he has only the sanction of one other of the four church- wardens, and that ofthe Select Vestry ; while the two other churchwardens, and the entire body of the Overseers, consisting- of twel ve, are wholly opposed to it. The Overseers were those who had the care and management of the funds of the parish ; tbey were responsible. How, therefore, could it be just to take such a step, not only without their concurrence, but even without their consent ? How could they be responsible for the treatment of children removed so far from their inspection ; and if sickness or mortality from bad treatment, bad clothes, bad food, & c. pre- vailed amongst the children, was it not plain that the parish would be burdened with a heavy additional expense, besides that of removing the children to Heston, and of carrying provisions and other ueces. suries thither? Mr. Thissleton had entered into contract for supplying every article to the children on his own authority, without ever consulting the Over- seers. The complainants wished to know, whether the Select Vestry were legally empowered, without the concurrence of the Overseers, to remove the children ; and if they were not, how the removal could be prevented ? The Magistrates, Messrs. Roe and Dyer, and Sir George Farrant, said, that certainly the Overseers were entitled to the care and management of the funds of the parish, which were vested in them; but declined giving their opinion whether the Select Vestry had a legal right to the authority assumed. They advised the Overseers to take the opinion of Counsel on the points. JOHN BULL. A NATIONAL PORTRAIT. [ FROM THE SUN ] Doctor Arbuthnot, Hazlitt, and Washington Ir- ving, have each devoted their talents In an analysis of this peculiar nondescript. Oue defect, however, per- vades iheir respective descriptions, namely; that they have generalized him too much, investing him with Hiose ordinary qualities which all humanity equally inheiits by charter from nature, to the exclusion of his more indigenous lights and shades of temperament. Now it so happens I hat John Bull is a character per se; a paradox in mind, manners, and morals, whose parallel, out of England, never yet existed upon earth. Doctor Arbuthnot has come nearer lo the truth than either Hazlitt or Irving, but he has con- fined himself to John Bull as a politician, whereas his most prominent peculiarity is decidedly a love of grumbling, a propensity- to self- lot menting. He is only happy when miserable ( we should, perhaps, say moi. dy), spleen being the pivot on which all his actions I urn.* Hence arises his love of politics— of " diabo- lical murders'* iu the newspapers-— of extravagance in '. he pulpit ( provided it be saturnine and minacious • enough), ot blood, battles, thunder, and apparitions on the stage. He turns fiorn cheeifulness as a vice; it is abhorrent to his gloomy disposition. Even his wit is the inspiration of spleen ; it has none of the graceful airy vivacity of Irish humour,— that sunshine of the heart,—- but is grave, terse, massive, and sar- castic. Donne, Pope, and in latter times, Johnson and Churchill, are genuine representatives of its pe- culiar qualities. We have stated that John is only happy when wretched ( that is to say, w hen discussing topics of congenial gloom) ; a curious . illustration of this came under our own personal observation not a fortnight since. We were dining " ith some literary friends, who were Split, as usual, iuto4hit- chat parties of two and three each, when suddenly a gentleman near us chanced to mention the present very prevalent " ague influenza." This called up an individual who, till then, had sate silent, with a highly seasoned account of the Walcheren fever; presently another chimed iu with the plagucat Constantinople, of which he had been recently an eye witness ; a fourth, loth to be behind- hand, entered into a scientific analysis of the different orders of spotted fever, characterising each with as much elaborate tact as Mr. Shiel lately evinced in his distinction between English and Irish murders; a fifth, with all the zeal of a professed amateur, called up his reminiscences of Defoe's dra- matic narrative, which speedily diverged into a spirit ed discussion on hydrophobia, until at last the canine infection— so great were its hypochondriacal attrac- tions— became general, aud not an individual escaped unhitten. ' Now, had this conversation been started in France, our mercurial neighbours would have scouted it. forthwith, as something repulsive to their nature ; with John Bull, however, it was quite a con amore topic, and accordingly he plunged into it with as much hearty good- will as into his warm snug bed on an inclement wintry night. Next to this comprehensive predilection for gloom is John's love of contradiction. Give Irim somebody to find fault with, yourself for ' instance, and he will stand your friend through life, for he invariably abuses those whom he loves best In religion he is sincere— in morals correct— in address a finished original. He has some ( though peculiar) good nature, but not one atom of refined feeling. His first consideration is decidedly to make money, a habit which, when unregulated by reason, chills all the nobler faculties of thought and action. From this innate lust of gain, you would suppose him penuri- ous; far from it, he is not unfrcquently generous to profusion, but then it must be after a fashion of his own. He will condemn you for wasting too much wax in sealing a twopenny post letter, but will spend a thousand pounds to recover an article not worth ten- pence. He will furnish you with a hundred guineas to prosecute a swindler, but would not give a sixpence to save you from starvation. His very charity, though extensive, is ostentatious, and has always an eye to the newspapers. As a tradesman, Johu is the soul of honour and punctuality, the Aristides of commerce. But, inas- much as he is punctual himself, he exacts the same regularity from others. Remissness iu this respect is not a simple fault; it is one of the seven deadly sins, perhaps the deadliest. You may reasonably calculate F » ) V John's toleration of vice, whether unnul or iutel. iectual— provided you do nol perk it ostentatiously in his face— but come too late for dinner, and you will sin beyond redemption. As a politician, John is attached to the government of his country, but only when iu his zeal for liberty he is permitted lo abuse it. He would die for that same administration which he execrates ( verbally) from the v. ery bottom of his soul. Under the influence of such paradoxical absurdity, he leaves England, which he calls enslaved and so forth; but when on the continent expends much valuable breath in lauding its good qualities to foreigners. In his literary productions, as in his wine, John ( we speak fr o m ihe lesl of ages, from his slandaid lavoor- iles, not from the popular ephemera of Ihe hour, which floal awhile like bubbles " arhilrio poptilaris The Holyhead Road a Hundred and Forty Years ago. The following exlracls from Ihe Clarendon Papers ( jusl published) present a very iuteresiiiia memorial of ihis greal road, now so easy and commodious. They are a few selections from Lord Clarendon's journey lb Ihe Welsh coast, on his way lo Iieland. From Newport, lie w riles, December 23,1( 185 :— " This is no post town ; however, I drop a letter, that you may hear from me at every stage, Ihe man of the house promising to put it into'lhe by- bag. liver since we have been five miles from Coventry, die ways have been extraordinary good; yesterday we tra- velled most upon Walling. slreet, au old Roman way ; we came hither quickly afler three in ihe afternoon,' though we set not out from Lichfield till after nine, and il is near twenty miles. This is a great village, and uo corporation, but il stands high and pleasantly. Warwickshire and Staffordshire are noble countries"; this is Shropshire, and it is the only county 1 have come through where some of the gentry have not come lo me ; hut nobody of this comity halh as yet laken notice of me. VVe are now taking coach for Whit- church, where we are to lodire at night ; it is bul fifteen miles from hence, but ihe other fourteen from thence to Chester are so bad way, lhat. all people tell me it will be a sufficient dav's journey for lo- inorroiv." journey fur lo- morrow. By Ihe Iwenly- ninlh his Lordship had got lo Si. Asaph, aud says, " I wrote to you yesterday from Chester, as I was going to take coach for this place, where we arrived about five in the evening, it being from Chester hither twenty Welsh miles; 1 am sore I could have gone in Ihe same time from I don to Heading. The Bishop here has a very good, con venient, though not magnificent house, as you will believe, when I tell you, besides us and our necessary servants lie lod^ eth Sir P. I'ycaul and Mr. Keighlley, aud discoinpwset. il none of his own family ; and there is in ibis cily, as it is called, two very pretly inns, who have room for fiftv horses. We are now going lo Conway, which i's fourteen miles from hence, aud w ill take iis five lo go it: we must be there before four in Ihe after- noon, because then the tide serves to carry us over the ferry. One of the slories 1 have lo tell you of Lord Tyrconnel is, when he came to Whitchurch, fourteen miles before lie eanie lo Chester, in his way lo Ireland, his lordship wenl into the church, where is a monu- ment of one of the family of Talbot, which he said was oue of his ancestors ; he gave orders for ilie repairing of it, and found great fault that the windows of ihe church were broken, saying, ' This church was in beller order when you look it ( speaking to the sexton) from us Catholics, but we shall have il shortly again, and then you shall pay for all.' You will easily believe how this relishetb amongst country people • but there is as worthy a minister as any of the gown who will keej) things in good order." " Conway, December 30, 1685. " I left this place at two of the clock in the afternoon, and came to the foot of the Penman ( Mawr) bv four, and stayed there till five, when it should have been dead low water; but the guides and others on horse- back found it impassable; and the skilful say the ebb was not so low as it useth to be in these seasons bv forty yards ; which tliey can give no reason for but the weather ; for 1 must confess it has been as great a storm ali this day of hail, rain, and wind, as ever 1 knew in all my life; the people on the place say the ebbs have been very liltle since August. This being, the case, we came back hither again, and the resolu- tion I have taken, upon the advice with the most skilful upon the place, is this— to be to- morrow, at six of the morning, at the foot of the Penman again, and if the tides will not suffer the coach to go under the rocks, then my wife shall go into a litter which a gentleman has lent me, and I will ride, aud so shall her women, over the Penman ; and so to Bangor, and thence to Beaumaris, where, God willing, we shall he at noon, and will rest there the rest of that day and night ; and on Friday we propose to borrow my Lord Bulkeley's coach to carry us to Holyhead. This is in case the weather continues bad ; if it be good, then we go under the rocks in our coaches, and leave the litter. This is all I can do, and I am sure I have lost no time since it came out. I arrived at Chester at the time first proposed; I stayed there three days, because of Christmas- day and Sunday ; and had I gone thence on Saturday, it would not at all have advanced my journey; for all agreed that I could not well pass under the Penman till this day— so that I hope I have hitherto done nothing amiss. I hope in God the weather will be more favourable to- morrow morning, till when I will keep this letter open; it cannot go hence till Friday, at the same time with the other which I left here. to day, in answer to your's of the 26th, and they will both be with you on " Mouday. Had your\ s come to me an hour before I left St. Asaph, so that 1 could have answered it, it would not have been with you sooner than this; for all letters from these parts must go to Chester, and the post went thence yesterday before noon, and not again till Saturday. Thursday, five in the morning : it has beeu a very tempestuous night, but we are setting out in the method I have told you above : God send us well to Beaumaris. God keep you and all your's." This fearful transit is then described. " Beaumaris, New Year's Day, 1685- 6. " We left Conway yesterday, at six in the morning, and pursued the methods for our journey which I mentioned in my last from thence; my wife in a litter, and the rest of us on horseback ( though 1 confess, for FREE TRADE, & c. We beg to be' permitted to call the attention of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of llie P. xchequr to Ihe following " singular coincidences." The average price of wheat at Bristol is 50> s.— at Newcastle- upon Tyne 4Ss.— at Huddinsrton, in Scotland, the greatest wheat market north of the Tweed, 47s.— aud in various other places 45s. and 4fis. per quarter. Pulling London out of the average— which it always oua- ht to be, for the prices obtained f » » re are no criterion of the prices obtained by the cultivator— the general, average of the country— llie price for wheat which the grower receives, is iof more than forty- seren shillings per qucrter ! All other kinds of corn are proportionally low in price, it cannot be said, therefore, lhat we are payiiiiir any tiling bat a low price for our bread.— We cannot tell whether " the intelligent operatives" be satisfied or un- satisfied with the price, but this we know, corn is now selling for less lhan the cost of cultivation. VVe shall therefore assume,- merely for fancy's sake, that the " operatives" are pleased to be satisfied. Let us, therefore, oil this assumption, asfc a simple question or two. Were we not told by Mr Hu& iffison, who' is a very profound statesman, a few weeks after the " coincidence" of the panic, that the importation of corn would relieve the country, and give an impetus to our manufacturing industry? Were we not told by all the liberal ministers, that all that was required to restore coufideuce aud prosperity was the making the price of bread as low as possible, and the obtaining steady prices f Tnese are facts. All this was told— all this promised. VVe then began to import corn, and at length wo have filled our warehouses. The price of coin is steadily falling— and it is quite as low as the most liberal person can desire. But has our manu- facturing industry revived— or the profits of manu- factures increased? No. Has the sum of total distress diminished? No. The artisans may be better employed, bat are there not other classes in the community whose embarrassments have in- creased? YES. IS the prosperity of the country not at a lower ebb, at this moment, than it has been for ten years? YES. Look at the revenue— look at the falling oft' in the consumption of colonial and exciseable commodities within Ihe present year, when compared wilh the disastrous year of 1820. Is this defalcation not a proof that we are, as a nation, in a worse state, at present, than we were in last year ? YES. What is the cause of this? Liberalism— free trade— political speculation— political ignorance— and political economy. If ibe manufacturers earn better wages now, than when they were unemployed, this is no proof that such improvement has been produced by the cheapness of corn. Ou the contrary, it is much more plain, that if the agricultural interest had not been sacrificed to these political absurdities, the manufacturers would ere now have been in a state of comparative prosperity. If cheap corn could benefit them, is it not plain, that as corn falls in price, th ir wages and profits must rise ? But bave they done so ? No. At this very instant, while corn is fill ling, these wages and profits are falling also. The following paragraph, which we take from a respectable provincial paper, the Leeds Intelligencer, will put this fact in a practical shape. We take it from the Intelligencer of last week:— " Business continues exceedingly dull, we might almost say, depressed, in the West Riding*. The accounts from Wakefield, as well as those from the other places which we lately mentioned, are very gloomy, though few hands have yet been deprived of employment. Wages, however, are extremely low, and little or nothing transacting in the wool trade. Our Huddersfield correspondent, a competent authority, writes under date of Tuesday last, the market day in that town, in these terms—' TRADE IS DREADFULLY DULL; next to nothing doing/' In Manchester and the other cotton districts there is likewise a considerable declension of business, 8cc. aud we observe that from the impossibility of otherwise coping with imported fabrics, there is a serious struggle between the masters and their men in the silk trade, at Coventry. The former insist on reducing wages still lower, as the only means of enabling them to compete with foreigners in the home market; and the latter appeal fo their employers whether they are not already half starved on the pittance they are enabled to earn at the existing rates." Now, Mr. Hemes, what say you to this? You need not answer unless you please. We will save you the pain of being candid, among your colleagues, who would not admire you for being so. We are sinking*, sinking, sinking*, in the cause of free trade, and the nostrums of Mr. Huskisson ! aurse," and then evaporate)— likes something that has my own particular, I went on foot), passed over i . • . , . . . . .

He agrees with Justice Greedy in his respect for " the substan. tials," and is far too apt to decry ihe finely tempered French wit. Voltaire he considers superficial, because he bad a pleasant way of treating an abstruse subject. Johnson profound, because he had a pompous method of discussing a superficial one. Had Swift and Burke been Englishmen— Hhey were in their intellect, but this is nol enough for John— he would have idolized them. On politeness of address, our hero sets little or iiO- value ; he is brutal, and thinks himself merely blunt ; vulgar, and fancies that he is honest. He professes a detestation of humbug, and is duped with this very profession in his mouth. At times he affects a taste for the fine arts, to which hobby he sacrifices thousands, while, perhaps, he grudges himself a coat, lu manners he is the most social, and at the same lime the most repulsive fellow on earth. He can do nothing without a dinner; yet even here, while seated over a social glass, can never altogether divest himself of a certain mistrust of his company— not, perhaps, amounting to suspicion, but certainly to something very like it,— which jaundices his conduct for the evening. In temper, honest John is easily ruffiid, and as easily appeased ; he harbours no malice; but loves fighting for the disinterested gratification it affords, and doats oil a boxing malch as zealously as a Spaniard on a bull fight. His worst defect is his enthusiastic zeal for what he calls busi- ness. On the altar of the filthy, revolting, and degraded Moloch, this leaden. headed and clay- footed idol, he sacrifices friends, family, hopes, health, hap pitiess, body, soul, and all. Docs a parent who has watclud over him in childhood, and still glows with honest pride at his success in more matured life; does a wife— that " chief solacer of man's solitude;"— a friend— his guide " and his necessity;"— a child, the reflection of himself, the inheritor of his pride and power; do these ( in other climes such strong and binding ties) demand some slight sacrifice of time or trouble?— John is sorry, very sorry, but " business must be minded,"— and though a friend, acquaint- ance, or it may be even a relative, are well enough in their way, yet when weighed in the same balance with business, their scale must kick the beam. From this very devotion, however, arises John's greatness— hy this he becomes, like the merchants of Tyre, honoured among the nations— a Prince of the earth. With respect to genius, our hero, though he has abundance, yet wants ils nobler pari, invention. In this respect he is far inferior to the French, on whose discoveries, however, he is invariably the first to improve. Hi imagination is ponderous, and partakes in no slight degree of its own physical constitution. As a friend, John is staunch, hut temperate; as a husband, exem- plary, but sober in affection; as a father, severe hut high. principled. Such is John Bull— ihe reserved, eccentric, pugnacious, generous, business- like, sys tematic, and everywhere original, John Bull. * The reader who wishes to have a fair sample of the character of English genius, may turn to a poem entitled " The Spleen," by ( we believe) a Quaker, named Green, an undeservedly neglected writer. — The Rule obtained by Mr. Curwood, on tbe last day of Term, to shew cause why John Hill, one of six others who had been committed to Stafford gaol for baiting a bull at West Bromwich, should not be discharged by habeas corpus, came on for argument before Mr. Justice Bayley on Thursday.— Mr. Starkieand Mr. Holroyd being heard against, and Mr. Curwood in support of it; and again before Mr. Justice Littledale on Friday, when it was made absolute. By this decision the six men will be im- mediately released from imprisonment, and the question as to the legality or illegality of bull- baiting will be set at rest. Penman Mawr, at the foot of which, on this side, I met my Lord Bulkeley's coach and servants, but they told us they had escaped very narrowly being castaway in coming over the ferry, and that the winds were so very high, that it was not fit for us fo attempt going that^ way ; so the coach carried us to Bangor, where we ferried over into Anglesey, and then put my wife into the litter again; for never was, or can cornea coach into that part ofthe country ; and thus we came safe hither about three in the afternoon, God be praised, without any mischance to any of our com- pany ; and here we are lodged at my Lord Bulkeley's, who makes very much of us, and entertains us most nobly. I left Sir Paul Rycaut at Conway, who had a mind to see what success I had iu passing the mountains before he would venture, but I expect him here this day; he offered two guineas to have his chariot carried over Penman; and the Dean of Bangor ( who met me on the borders of Wales, and will see me on board) offered him to have it done for ten shillings; he brought two honest fellows to me at Conway, who undertook to carry my coach over Penman for twenty shillings ; they proposed to take it off the carriage, and so to carry it by strength of hands, and the carriage afterwards; this seemed feasible, and likely to be accomplished, and I there- upon agreed to it. But to the amazement of all the company, last night at supper, your officer William ( who is a very diligent fellow) came into us, and told us the coach was come, aud that without taking it to pieces ; but by setting- the horses in one trace, one behind another, and keeping three or more men behind that it might uot slip back, they had drawn it over the hill, upon the carriage and wheels. This would scarce have been believed ( considering- it is a great heavy coach), had not the coach been at the same time in my Lord Bulkeley's yard ; so that, God be thanked, we have now overcome all the difficulties of our land journey, without any the least ill accident; and we are how ready to go to Holyhead, and to embark as soon as the wind is fair, but it is now full in our teeth. 1 have been very inquisitive here whence the so little ebbs should proceed now at this time of the full moon ; and my Lord Bulkeley tells me it is occasioned from the great storms which have been of late, and which keep the rivers from ebbing so low as they use to do. My waggon, which I left at Conway, with orders to be sent to Chester, thence to be embarked for Ireland, is this'afternoon arrived here, brought likewise over Penman Mawr, vvith all its lading ; so that it is said here I have introduced a new way of travelling. The way I came from Bangor is at least eight miles about; the ferrv at Bangor is about as broad as the Thames at Battersea, but the boats , are little round sea boats, and will not hold above three horses al a time, so that we were very- long coming over the river. - But, God be thanked, we are here. I beg you to own my Lord Bulkeley's civilities to us, which have been very great; he professeth to be a great servant to you.— Saturday, the 2d. A very fair morning, the wind south ; we are taking coach for Holyhead, where I hope to embark this evening: I wish you a happy new year: God Almighty preserve you and all your's." The public, and servants in particular, cannot be too much on their guard against the admission into iheir master's houses, ofa gang of itinerant venders of different articles— such as fruit, oranges, and lemons, wooden and earthenwaie, and such other commodities — who assume these businesses as a mere cloak, to enable them the more easily to obtain access to the premises, and carry on without detection their game of plunder. In many instances, though not themselves Ihe actual perpetrators of the robberies, they are what is called the putters up, by describing to their com- panions in crime ihe situation of the houses, and the means through which an easy entrance can be obtained to them. They also find out, fiom the servants, the time at which the family retires for the night, or win I her they are in the country, or get at such infor- mation as very much assists their purposes. Com- plain! s are every day made, when too lale, of robberies accomplished . through their instrumentality. REFORMATION IN IRELAND.-— Tbe late returns ofthe papists wbo had conformed to Protestant- ism, made the number amount to 1,786, that is, to the 30th of September, inclusive. Since then, a further and amended returtv has been published, from which it appears, that from - October 8, 1826, to January 1827, the actual numbers were 1,015; and the following months of February 304, March 347, April 372, May 90, and from the 20th of May to the 30th of September, 228— so that the grand total is 2,357 ! !— all of them adults, their children not being included. Yesterday morning, our police were put upon the alert by information that five horses, the property of Mr. John Patriugton, of Rouse Lench, near Evesham, had been despoiled of the hair from their mams and tails, in the course of the previous night, and that it was suspected the robbers had bent their sieps hither. Soon after, Orchard, being upon the look out, observed two fellows of rather questionable appear- ance, leave a house in Friar- street, aud on requiring them to shew the contents of a hag they carried, he found it lo consist of wet linen, old shoes, several short waggoners' whips, and some horse hair.—• Pretty well satisfied that he was upon the right sceui, Orchard then had the men safely s « cured, and pro- ceeded to make enquiry at houses accustomed to purchase the latter article, when he learnt that his two prisoners had shortly before their apprehension, sold a quantity of it at no less than three places. Under such circumstances, the men are of course detained, for examination at the Magistrates' silting to- morrow. — Worcester Herald, Friday. At a General Meeting of the Trustees of the Wor- cester Bridge, held ou Friday morning, an order passed for the throwing open of the bridge, and discontinuing the toll, except those for over- weigh', upon the last day of the present year, viz Mondiy, Ihe 31st inst. The bridge, we find, was first opened, on the ] 7th September, 1781. The toll on foot passengers ceased 2d Joly 1809.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 29.— Wednes- day was the last day of Term ; and the Sittings after Term commenced this day.— Lord Dudley and Ward v. Robins.— This cause came before the Court for decision, of which the following is ihe oft I line : — The Noble Plaintiff some time since entered into treaty with defendant, au eminent auctioneer and estate agent in Regent- street, for the purchase of an estate called Sidbury. Lord Dudley deposited with the defendant £ 6000 as part of the purchase money, which, however, was to be returned lo him, and tbe contract to be at au end, if a good and sufficient title was nol made out, by the 21st of December, 1826. Lord Dudley and Ward ascertained that there were several unsettled judgments against ihe estale, and therefore when the day above- mentioned arrived, he gave ihe defendant notice of his intention to withdraw from the contract, aud de nanded the return of his deposit. The defendant informed him that the money had heen paid over to ibe vendor, who refused to return it, and therefore the present action was brought for its recovery. — Mr. Campbell, for the defendant, said, that if tbe Noble plaintiff had been inclined to complete tbe purchase of the estate, the incumbrances would have be n paid off, and he would have been put in possession of as g- ood a tille as attached to any estate in England. As it was, however, be admitted that the plaintiff must have a verdict. It was probable that the plaintiff would yet become the owner of the estate ; for the vendor was about lo file a bill in Chancery for the special pei formance of an agreement; and when the Nuble Lord was next ele- vated in rank, which he trusted might soon be, he would, perhaps, bear the ' itleol Marquis of Sidbury.— Lord Tenterdeir said it was clear that Ibe verdict must be for ihe plaintiff, and directed them lo find it for £ 6440, being the purchase in » ney, with interest there- upon,— The Jury found a verdict accordingly. fo // « ?

Theic cerium I y was a time when the Fish iu the Severn, and the Salmon in particular, were notoriously and proverbially abundant; and there certainly is a time of melancholy dearth and extinction, affording a contrast without a paralUl iu any river or kingdom m Europe ; aud as to the cause which hath produced so singular and grievous an effect, can it be more pertinently, and accumtely traced ( hail to the in- ( iiicuiicy ef the existing laws or the partial aud lax administration thereof? and thus circumstanced, to imagine that the rum of a Fishery would not eventually romc to pass, is as preposterous aud as absurd as to suppose the light will not create the day— nor darkness night. Secondary ' and accidental causes there may be, but the imperfection of the laws and the imbecility- of administration or executive must be acknowledged as paramount, and we may e( i: l loriber say, that the present and total slate of things is but the continued and grand iffcet of foimer and present laws and executives, and lhat the future stale and condition of man and nature will be accordingly an important aud urgent consideration for those who impose laws, those who execute, and those who receive them. Mr. PisCATOK's plan of stoning the river in sundry places, & c. may be proposed from bis having experienced the great protection it affords to Fish, as in ponds and brooks, and may therefore be regarded as a simple and excellent expedient, but alone and without legislative and magisterial power, would possibly be ( I am inclined lo suppose) one way or other circumvented ; as an auxiliary, however, it m « rits regard, and should it be adopted, at the same time 1 strongly recommend that certain small stones commonly called - pebbles or gravel be not thinly laid on the Paths round the said town and con- servatory, which present by far the most glaring and intolerable nuisance of the hind / ttm or can expect to be acquainted, wiih, if il le rot in that ofthe Hirer thereabout, whereinto not. only the gas waler, lime and dye waters, and ihe common sewers and rubbish ofa large town, are carefully and incessantly submerged, but also dying and discarded cats, dogs, pigs, and human excrement, in egregious and wanton profusion, though not at all ( as I conceive) to the betielil, either of the Fishery, man, or beast, aud attaching no great taste and sensibility to the in- habitants, especially in the summer season, when are to he seen dozens of tluse creatures and cartloads of this filth working together with the mixing stream, which is conveyed into cisterns for culinary and other uses. Hoping then that an enlightened aud active magistracy, and corporate body, will speedily and effectually redress these and similar evils, which are wholly of a social and civil nature, are so unseemly iu themselves, form so sad a contrast with the late beautifying of the town, are so prejudicial aud detrimental to the health and credit of the citizens, aud offensive to slrangeis, I remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, VIATOR.

VVe had better 44 look at home," and ask ourselves whether it was expedient, politic, convenient, or necessary. Let it not be supposed that we quarrel with the humanity of those who would save barbarians from cutting each other's throats; but nations, » as Lord Grey said iu 1809, should rather be prudent than chivalrous; and we do suspect, that if . we even grant that the step was nccessary and politic, no one will deny us the liberty of doubting its convenience. Mr. Canning made himself popular w ith many by the profession of eco- nomy, and we said al his death ( hat he had left to his successor an insurmountable difficulty in its perform- once. No less a reduction ( ban one million and a half was promised; aud every office was ransacked to find out w here a few odd pounds could be clipped from the salaries of clciks and secretaries, to eke out this immense sum.

These will be heavy items in ihe Treasury balance sheet, and will make Mr Hemes1? Budget au unpleasant disclo- sure for himself aud Jhe country. The Government Journals promise us 44 lots of glory" for our money, but we cannot help remembering lhat. glory will not pay the interest of the money. Glory will not pay our brave tars for earning il, nor build palaces, nor find our army in Portugal so much as will buy their pipe- clav. All this must be done by domestic taxa- tion, or by robbing ( be sinking fund, or by borrowing. When these things are considered ( and they will be considcictl when pay- day comes), every reasonable man must agree, that wc have taken a reasonable view of the measure, in saying, that it may be politic or it may be expedient, but that while ils convenience is denied, its necessity ( if it exists, at al!) must be lamented. The consternation amongst the Free- Traders and Rtcipiocily Gentry, in consequence of this rupture, is indescribable. The expected reign of universal benevolence, and the anticipated pleasures of enjoying the fraternal hug with brethren of every tdirne, seem more remote than ever; permanent peace, and permanent prosperity, have 44 vanished into thin air;"— and the dispersion of die pleasing reveries, so freely promulgated by the Liberals, has rendered too plain the delusions which have been practised.

The daring and extensive robbery, to the amount of between £ 6000 and £ 7000, which recently look place at Messrs. Grimaide and Johnson's, ( he eminent watch and chronometer makers, in tbe Strand, London, was recorded in our lasi Journal. Messrs. G., and J. have, it seems, recovered their property, by a mode which is ihus detailed in a London Paper :' On We'd- uesi! ; y last, a gentlemanly- dressed man walked into the shop, and having got Mr. Johnson aside, as if to speak to him about some particular business,• without any hesitation ot • circumlocution of speech, be told Mr. Johnson that, the whole of the property might he restored for £], 500. Time was given lo consider of the proposition, and Mr. J. was informed ( hat his answer could be given on a subse- quent evening., when a person in a hackney- coach would ( Irive Up and require it. Mr. Johnson, was also Sold that he 41 must have confidence — without faith ihere would be no going on," for the properly in such case could not be restored; that the £ 1,500 must be first paid; and that then he would be told where the property was lo begot, Mr. Johnson had some diffi- culty to decide — because, if the proposition were a deception — if the £ 1,500 should become an additional loss, Mr, J. would have deemed himself lo he much nearer being a ruined man than before. The plunge, however, was taken : Mr. J. acquiesced in Ihe propo- sition, Accordingly, late on Saturday evening", a hackney- coach drove Up to ihe door; Mr Johnson's attendance was required ; and a man iu the coach demanded the £ 1,500 to be brought to him. The request, was complied with. Mr. J. was again told that he must have 44 faith," or all would be useless ; it would lie vain to endeavour to trace the parties; while any movements of I bat ' kind'would he immediately known — would frustrate the plan— and run the risk of losing- the additional £ 1,500. After having- paid the £ 1,500 into the hackney- coach, Mr. Johnson was, on Sunday night, It Id to walk over Waterloo- bridge at a particular hour ( not two minutes being given to resolve) — to walk ou the right hand side of llie bridge— lo go by bimseif— to pass through the gale on the opposite side, aud to proceed to the right- hand corner of ibe first street over tiie bridge, where some one would accost him. He was fin ( her assured that he would be watched all the- way, pai ( icularly on entering Waterloo- place, and passing over Waterloo- bridge, where it could lie known whether any one was follow- ing him ; and that if he were seen to be followed by any pers- ii; in the hope of detecting the parties, or tracing those who might speak to him, no notice would be lakt n of him, but the fifteen hundred pounds would he sacrificed Mr. Johnson faithfully kept his engage- ment,, and attended as desired. On arriving at the comer of the first street over Waterloo- bridge, and which leads to Biackf> iars- bridge, some man muffled up in a cloak, so that his face could not be seen, Came up to Mr. Johnson, placed a key in his hand, and told him that at the corn r of such a street, naming' it, he would perceive a hackney- coach waiting. The key was the key of a trunk which he would find in that coach, and which cont ined all Ihe lost property. Me was to get into that coach, and to order the coachman to drive him home. Mr. J. proceeded accordingly, and ( here, sure enough, he found the coach wailing, and on getting into ii there was the tiunk, with which he went home. On opening' the trunk, at home, all the stolen property was found, with the except ion of some trifling articles, such as chains, & c. ; but ihey may he or perhaps have beeu, returned, as Mr. J. was told should any of the articles4 be missing, they should be forthcoming on notification of such fact being given, or Ibe value of the articles, Thus the two great modern robberies, the country hank- notes and ihe watch have been COMPROMISED— the one for £ 2,800, and ihe other for £ 1,500 ! The trunk, il may be added, though the contents were so valuable, is of ihe oldest and most shattered condition ; according lo ihe common parlanc it would * 4 not be worth picking up :" but there is Ihe . trunk now to he seen at Messrs. Giimalde & Johnson's. A chronometer belonging lo the Duke of Norfolk was iniongsl the lost properly. If'this be true, ( says a Morning Paper,) and such tilings can be elone wiih impunity, what a precious inn of police must we be living under! VVe hear continually of some person who, having lost a tea- kettle, a flat iron, or pillow case, on recovering it, wishing to forego thc toil and the expense of prosecuting the offender, wbom they are likewise, from the most praiseworthy motives, anxious to save from the contagion of a prison; when ihe magistrate, with uplifted bauds and eves, declares the thing impossible, wondering at Jhe audacity of people, who can so much , as dream o { compounding a felony ! But that which isa sin, when applied to a shilling, is none, it would seem when applied to thousands; and that which horrifies the sages of the police, from Whitechapel to Marylebone, if whispered in the shape of a small and venial offence, is openly connived at and sanctioned and the very mumidons of the police permitted to employ themselves in perfecting, when the job becomes worthy of being accomplished. And ( his is the protection, for- sooth, which ( he public are ( o look for from our admirable police !

There were 9805 maltsters in the kingdom, and surely the representation's of such an influential and respectable body of men ought to have some weight with the Legislature. When they should be fairly heard, he had no doubt the Parliament would not allow the obnoxious clauses to remain on the Statute- book. If the Government should listen to the Deputation from their Society, as honourable men they wiil lay before the Government the fair amount ol'the duty on ihe harley. Lord Goderich and Mr. Hemes, attended to iheir respectful remonstrances in June last, and he was sure the Noble Lord and the Right Hon Gentleman would again listen to them if they ( the malt- sters) point out lhat the revenue will uot be injured. The duly was charged on malt by the bushel; but brow n malt ( porter) became deteriorated in value by the lire. The Bill of 1822 reduced the duty on malt one shilling the bushel ; but he should show that the fiamers of that Bill contemplated a duty on barley, and uot on malt. The Chairman here referred lo the Act of the 3d George IV. chap. 18, and read ihe marginal" note, which staled — An allowance of Is. per bushel to maltsters, kc. for stock produced within a certain time, after the deduction of 12 tier cent, on brown or porter malt, and 5 per cent, on all other malt for the swell. The second section of that Statute enacted, That there shall be paid and allowed to every maltster, brewer, & c. one shilling- for every bushel of all dry and unground malt produced to, and taken an account of, by the proper officer of Excise, as the stock of such maltster, brewer, & c and for which all the duties payable by law upon, or in respect of malt, had then been charged or paid, deducting from such account 12 per centum on brown or porter malt, and 5 per centum on all other dry unground nialt, for the swell and increase thereof, over the quantity of such malt charged with duty. It was evident, from the last section, that the Legis- lature intended the duty to be on harley, and not on malt. They had strong claims to be heard-; and he ex- pected that the result would be, that all restrictions would be taken off, and that they would be allowed to manufacture their goods as they should think proper The Chairman next adverted to a pamphlet that was just published, aud which was addressed to Lord Godericb, npo, i. i the state of the malting trade. He had ! not lead the pamphlet, but he understood it. contained the most offensive personal allusions— such as lie was sure no honourable maltster would countenance ; and he was confident that no maltster in this Meeiing would give it his sanction. He was glad that the maltsters had that opportunity of disclaiming ad knowledge of or connect ion w ith that pamphlet.—( Hear, hear, hear.) lie should now return to the immediate business before thc Meeting, and recommend to their consideration the resolutions that had been prepared for the regnlarkinof i heir Society. Mr. Herapath, of Bristol, proposed, aud Mr. Bent ley, of Rotherhatn, seconded ihe following- Resolutions, ' which were carried unanimously : — That in the opinion of this Meeting, it is absolutely neces- sary that the Maltsters of the United Kingdom should form themselves into a Society. That a Society, to be called the '' Maltsters' Association," be now formed of such Maltsters as shall contribute their subscriptions, and conform to the rules and regulations about to be established. That the objects of the Society be, the protection of the trade in general, the fair and equal collection of the revenue, and the amelioration of the existing- laws relating to malting-. That a Committee be now appointed, to consider of and determine upon the best modes to be adopted for the'general benefit, and to draw up rules and regulations for the future ivernment ofthe Association That all the Deputies present do form the Managing- Committee ( of whom five to be a quorum), until tbe end of 1828, with power to add to their numbers from the Deputies hereafter to be chosen by other parts of the United Kingdom. Tlie Committee were then nominaled, After some discussion Mr FORD, Secretary, pro tern said he had already a list of four hundred members for the new Society, in- cluding about thirty Deputies, w ho were not as yet no- minated. All the Deputies would he in town before the meeting'of Parliament, when they would have an opportunity of discussing the whole subject with some effect", A Maltster said he understood, that the law s for regu- lating the Malt Trade in Ireland and Scotland differed from the laws for regulating the hade in England. He wished to know whether that was the case ? The CHAIRMAN said many gentlemen were of the same opinion, but it was right to correct such a misiak There were now ihe same laws for regulating the'trade for the United Kingdom ; for ihe Act of the 7th and 8th of Geo. IV. consolidated all the laws upon the subjec and made them general for Ireland and Scotland, as well as England. A Deputy said lhat Lord Goderich had stated that he intended to have hut one Act for the United Kingdom. M « \ SALMON mentioned that Mv. Carr, the Solicitor of the Excise, said that the Irish maltsters went away fully satisfied, the Scotch maltsters were abundantly satisfied, ond he saw no reason why the English maltsters should not he equally so.—( A laugh, and hear, hear,) Mr. Bu BRETON said il would he the interest of every maltster to join the Soeiity. For himself, le should say, that although he could not devote . much of liis time to the proceedings of the Sociely, on account of liis other occupations, yet he came to ihe Meeting- ihis day for protection. Mr. Crisp Brown was appointed Chairman of the Committee for the ensuing jear; and Mr. Ford was ap- pointed Secretary. I'he CHAIRMAN said that the General Committee would appoint Sub Committees throughout the country, to watch over the interests of ( he body of maltsters, lie should put his own shoulder to the wheel, and not relax until they should obtain relief. A Deputy hoped that Mr. Ford would he able to carry ( hem through without wetting. Mr. Ford — I must beg the Gentleman's pardon- hope lo carry yon through with welling.— ( A laugh ) A- Deputy— Aye, with a heavy wet too! The CHAIRMAN said, il appeared by ( he returns that between the 5 ill of January 1825, and the 5th of January 1826, there were 30,493,094 bushels of mail made in England and Wales. It was a strong fact, that iu Feb, 1822 the stock gauged in England and Wales was 10,824,812 bushels, upon which the deduction of one shilling a bushel was allowed, deducting, at. the same time, 12 per cent, and 5 per cent, for ( he swell or in- crease of that quantity Some conversation here took place respecting the propriety of- electing a President ; but the question was postponed to a futuie day.

In the first place he called ihe alien- lion of the Meeting to the resolutions of the Maltsters' Committee on the 5th of Nov. last, and which were to the follow ing effect : — The CHAIRMAN having produced and read numerous letters received by binefrom various parts ofihe king- dom, acquiescing-, in ihe proposed plan of forming a Malls'ers.'

Norwich; or to Mr William Ford, of Nine Elms, near Vauxhall, Surrey, the Chairman aud Secretary of this Sociely. ( The objects of this Society are to support the Government in ilie full and fair collection of the duties imposed by Act of Parliament, and to obtain the amelioration of several op- pressive clauses, now only suspended till the meeting- of Parliament.) That a subscription of One Pound each be forwarded to the Chairman or Secretary, towards defray ing the expenses that have already been, and may hereafter be incurred.

" In our last we had only room very briefly to allude to the resolutions of the Newcastle shipowner's, and the admirable and luminous speech of Mr. Richmond. We have beaten the brains out of free trade and its authors so effectually already, that we almost deem it our duty to offer some apology for once more adverting- to the subject. Had the subject been one where merely brains were concerned, it would not now have been necessary to combat these people. Our complaint is, that our antagonists fig'bt. with no such weapons. They are dull and obstinate - mulish and blind'- - conceited and shallow--- metaphysical and ignorant. There is nothing puz- zles them more painfully than any ordinary column Of official figures. They cannot understand how two and two make ( our- - or how sixpence per diem, subtracted from the income of one individual, comes to deteriorate the profits or the wages of another individual.

S must confess, Gentlemen, when I heard Ihis statement put forth by a man like Mr. Huskisson, 1 was a good deal astounded, bv the apparent justice of ihe charge against us ; and il was not until a" considerable lapse of time, that 1 was enabled to detect the fallacy of it. Happily for my argument, and your welfare, ils refutation rests not upon any ambiguous or theoretical assumption of those who, in the struggle for the pre- servation of Iheir propeily, are placed in opposition to ihe Piesident of the Board of Trade; but the perfect, the irrefragable refutation is to be found in the returns now on this table, emanating from himself, aud pub- lished by ( he authority of Parliament ; returns of the enormous, ihe astonishing, the overw helming increase of the imports of ihis our unrivalled country, accom- panied at ihe same time by an actual diminution of ihe bona fide tonnage of the kingdom, since tiie close of the war, of nearly 1- I3lh. Thus, Gentlemen, fails lo the ground one of lire strongest charges against ns— a charge, Gentlemen;, ibe tendency of which was lo place ns among the class of imprudent and injudicious specu- lators, unworthy either of consideraiion or relief. But. So far from this being the case, I boldly and fearlessly assert, and the documents now before you demonstrate beyond the possibility of contradiction, that so wonder- ful has beeu ihe increase of our foreign trade, more especially in the most bulky articles o? transit which we import, such as timber, collon, flax, sugar, tallow, & e. & c';"( which, from Iheir nature, are of great import- ance tous as maritime carriers], and that the internal Consumption of England has also given birth to such an increased demand for ships in Ihe coasting or home trade, as almost to exceed belief, were it not proved by the incontrovertible nature ofMr. Huskisson's ow n discIo sures— S say, that 1 therefore assert, and assert it most advisedly, that so far from ihe shipping interest of England having been blindly and madly increased to an extent unwarranted by the demands of the country, the precise converse is the fact ; and lhat instead of having actually one. ihirteenlh less tonnage than we possessed at the close of Ihe war, we were warranted, from the increase of the country's means of affording- them employment, lo have full one- third more than we now possess. I assert to you, Gentlemen, that from the documents now on this table, published by the direction and sanction of Mr. Huskisson himself, that England is now as capable of giving employment lo 3,500,000 tons of shipping, as she was at ihe close of ihe war lo her then amount of 2,500,000. 44 Having staled this, to us most cheering-, fact, it naturally occurs to ask, how in the face of all ihis increased demand for shipping, ihe,. complaints are so general ond universal of its ruinous state of depression ? We now come to what has been termed the gist of the case, and a very few words will suffice to demonstrate how iu the face of till this increased employment, such a'state of things can arise. ,4 It is neither more nor less than our being engaged in an actual, and, as Mr. Huskissou's returns prove, most extensive competition, in the supply of our own country w ith the articles of her consumption, with the untaxed ships of foreign nations, w ho, from the absence of taxation in iheir respective countries, accompanied by the inferior and less luxurious mode of living of their crews, as compared with that of British seamen, are enabled to accept rates of freight, which to them are highly remuneralii; e~* whilst, to us, of necessity their rnoie expensively conducted rivals, the same rate's The following Extracts contain the most material parts of ihe Speech of Mr. Richmond, the talented Chairman a( ihe lale Meeting of ( he Ship Owners of the port of Newcastle, held al North Shields : — Gentlemen,— We are now met here once m<* e to contemplate ihe future and review Ihe past; and I do not see any thing in either to prevent us putting forth our best energies for our own preservation, menaced as ii is by an unaccountable partiality on the pari of his Majesty's ministers in the favour* of the shipping- of foreign nations, displayed in what have been termed RECIPROCITY TREATIES— in which ( he heavily and necessai ily laxed Briton bas to enter into ihe race of competition in the supply of the consumption of his own country, with the comparatively light aud untaxed foreigner, who displays no disposition to adopt the Quixotic liberality, though he has no objection to profit by it; nor is it a slight aggravation of the injury thus inflicted, when we reflect lhat imuij of the huttiseshs which we have to hear, have been occasioned by our endeavours to assist those very foreigners in ' then fiohich the competition compels us to accept j are totally inadequate aud ruinous; in fad, we are precisely iii the slate that the British landowners and manufacturers would be in, if tiie ports of their own couulry were thrown open without tax or limit% to ( he admission of foreign grain and manufactures. As relates to them such a slate of things could not exist for six months, without throwing' the whole country into re vol ui ion and confusion. Surely then the proprietors of ihe long- boasted and highly- estimated commercial marine of England, will not form the exception, the isolated exception, to the geneial rule. Surely the foundation ofthe mighty fabric of our naval and national greatness will not, for a baseless and heartless theory, he suffered to sink into irremediable ruin, for wautof'that fostering care, to vvhich, as a British interest, it is so justly emil led. 44 If our noble country had so far lost lier energy and capability as to he unable to afford employment to us, her children, we ought, and would be the last to harass ministt rs w ith our complaints ; but the numerous returns which have so insultingly been held up lo Ihe country, as proofs of ( he falsehood of our complaints— incon- iesiibly prove that not to he the case ; and, that, but. for ihis miserable svslem of imbecile liberality, we, and all Other classes of his Maj. sty's subjects, should have been biessed with unbounded comfort and happiness— a liber- ality thc offspring, ihe foul and fihh> offering, of the men, win. under ihe specious names of philosophy aud philanthropy inundated a neighbouring country with their dogmas, lo the destruction of every existing grada- tion of wealth, rank, or industry. 4i Mr. Huskisson upbraids the ship owners, in his speech iu reply fo General Gaseoyne, 4 H al they go even a stage further than the s i i k - ,5: a n u fact u i e I s ' ' H< Slid 4 ihey are ion content in assume what wilt be the inevitable result of the measures adopted by government the Jew Kicardo, or ihe Scot M'CnlLch ; he could only discern the interests of England through the medium of an English mind. The latter sage would have had much difficulty in convincing him, that an lush nobleman benefitted his Country as much, by spending th'e produce of his estates in Paris or Venice, as he. could possibly have done if he had remained at home, diffusing- employment, by his expenditure around the locality from which he derived his icveuue. Nor would he readily have been induced to believe, that purchasing corn of Polish and Egyptian agriculturists, in preference to those of England, could be beneficial to English manufacturers, whose best customers the lattermost unquestionably were. k4 He would have been still more slow to apprehend ( lie benefit to result to the manufacturers, and the various British interests engaged in, and connected with, our colonies, by throwing iheir maikets open to the ships and manufactures of ihe whole world, and allowing their return produce to be diverted to new channels, wherever their interest, or their caprice mig direct ; whereby Hamburgh, and Antwerp, and Trieste, and Petershurgh, will rapidly become what Loudon, Liverpool, aud Bristol are aud have been. Had he been inclined to indulge in such a fieak as this, by which, with one dash of the pen of si modem economist, all the benefits of the colonies of his country have been ceded to foreigners, we reserving to ourselves only the privilege of keeping governors aud garrisons to protect I hem, lest any of our much bene lilted allies, should lake il into their wise heads, at some future period, to wrest them from us altogether. Had this great man beeu inclined to indulge in such an act of aberration as this, still from his know ledge of the necessity ofa power- ful marine to the safely of his couulry, he would have stipulated that all this should be done through ( he medium of British ships, owned and navigated ac- cording- to law. He, ia all likelihood, would have been able to hare induced Prussia and Sweden, Norway, and Hussia, and Germany, 6cc. to accept this noble boon even though clogged by the restrictions of their employing British vessels br their intercourse with ihese cheaply acquired colonies ; but I forget lhat he lived before the march of intellect hail commenced ; he had uot been a member of my Lord La. ns. dow ne's com- mittees on foreign trade, whose recommendations were to open out sources of prosperity which ihe human imagination had never conceived. Where Ibis folly and madness is to end Providence only can tell. Eng:- laud, wiih all the attributes of Wealth and power un- precedented, firmly within her grasp, 4 wiih might un- questioned,' is throwing aw ay wiih the band of despera- tion, all the sources of her wealth, her power, and prosperity. in ibe progress of this system of change, every interest of the community is or has been threatened With destruction or injury : we have seen many of them successfully resist and oppose Ibe adoption of such of ihese measures as relate to themselves ; we saw with admiration the struggle ihe silk manufacturers success- fully made. We saw the Scotch Bankers defeat ( hose regulations intended for ( heir annihilation. We see the English Bankers engaged iu a struggle wiih the Bank of England, instigated by the advocates of ihis new system, against changes, iu which, if they are defeated, it Will go far to effect their ruin and ex- tinction, as they can no more compete with their un- taxed compeiiior, than we can with the untaxed ships of foreign nations. 4* VVe see ihe maltsters arrayed in active hostility to regulations vvhich they assert will be the cause of their destr itclion j in short, whichever way we turn, we find sume interest in a slate of alarm and distress at contem- plated, or actually effected, changes. The lauded interest, receuily in some degree exempt from the pressure of distress so heavily felt by others, is about to experience its full share of it, if the depiessed stale of the markets for its produce can be taken as a criterion on which to form a judgment. A deficient revenue, most unnecessarily and wantonly occasioned by a repeal of taxes, whose repeal has only benefitted partial and individual interest, threatens the public creditor with the defalcation of his dividends. The colonial interest has long and loudly complained of their tieatnient- other interests apparently mure remote are not less threatened. An union of ail, therefore, who possess any slake iu the country, appears indispensable, in arrest the progress of these changes, by vvhich all are equally thieatened. " The proprietors of lite ships of England, than whom his Majesty possesses no more lu\ al or peaceable sub- jects, or men more ardently and truly attached to the government aud constitution of their country, must muse themselves into exertion, as tliev tire the ntosi pruminen link in the chain ol destmct ion, now extending over this! noble land -, fortunately lor them, all ate interested in iheir preservation, from his Majesty on the throne from ihe lol-. iest peer lo ihe humblest peasant, all, ull, are equally interested iu their pieservattoii ; aud when they are convinced of the reality of tbe danger, we mav rely on their support and countenance- even tbe base, the prostituted, the un- English feeling of the liberal press, where there is one saving spark of grace or I feeling left unsold, will ad vocate nur cause: happily for OS, onr prosperity and the prosperity and safely of ling- land cannot be separated." The advices by the Brazil packet which arrived on Friday, hold out no prospect of an immediate termination of hostilities between theStates of Brazil and Buenos Ayres. The Government of the latter was about to procure a loan from the English merchants resident there of six millions of dollars, which would enable them to meet their pressing necessities ; but the differences with the Province!? were as extensive as ever, and every day leading- to fresh embarrassments. The Emperor feels the expenees of the war, aud has set his subjects an example of making considerable sacrifices, by giving up the amount of one month of his Civil List, for the payment of the troops by sea and laud ; an< t during the continuance of the war, ordering the half of the Civil List to be paid into the Exchequer as a loan, without interest. On the 17th, as Mr. Jillard, with his two sons and servant, was returning in his phaeton from Sherborne to his residence at Oakliill, his horses, at a short distance from Cattle- Rill tut npike- g- ate, took fl ight at some workmen's clothes, which were lying on a heap of stones, and suddenly turning round, the pole and reins were broken : they then set off at full speed till they reached the turnpike- gate, hich, being fortunately fastened, prevented their proceeding farther. The carriage, though upset, sustained but little damage; and Mr Jillard, with his sons, servant, and horses, escaped without experiencing auy serious injury. This accident, it to be hoped, will induce the surveyors of the roads to caution the persons they employ from placing their clothes near the road side. Our readers will observe, by referring to our law eport, that James Butler, who has been for upwards oftwenty- five years a magistrate of several counties in Ireland, has recovered the title of Lord Dunboyne, which has been, in consequence of alleged out- lawries, alienated from his family. LorH Dunboyue is the fourth Baron of Ireland, his ancestor, Sir Edmund Butler, having been created Baron of Dnnboyne by Henry VIII. on the llth of June, 1541. Thetitlehas been attainted since 1662, in the body of James, the fourth Lord • and in 1601, in that of Pierce, the fifth Lord. Since this attainder, up to the reversal of outlawries detailed in our eport, none of the Lords have had the privileges of a Peer. To the present thirteenth Lord Baron of Dnnboyne, all his hereditary honours are, by the reversal in question, restored.— Freeman's Journal. It is stated that Mr. Richmond, an army surgeon in India, has, within eight months, by surgical operations, restored to sight nearly eight hundred blind persons.—" Taking," says Mr. Richmond, " the population of British India at 60,000,000 ( and this, I believe, is much below the usual computa- tions), and supposing that blindness generally pre- vails in the same proportion as 1 have fotwid it to exist in the course > f my practice, there are at this moment 2- 56,000 people with cataract, who are capable of being restored to sight by an operation as simple as that of blood- letting, and 270,000 with other diseases in the eye, who are also fit objects either for cure or relief. Co A 2,8 IN NEW SotJTn WAI. ES.— A discovery, whit h, it is ex pec ted, will l urn on t to he a valuable one, has been recently made by the Rev. Mr. Threlkeld, at Lake Macquarrie, in tbe district of Reid's Mistake. He was about to build a chimney with what be considered to be a very fine black stone, which he had found in abundance in the neighbourhood of his dwelling, when, upon close'inspection, he ascertained it to be what is called in England can, pel coal. The overseer of ( he Newcastle mines has been at HeiePs Mistake to examine thp coal, and he reports it to be of a very superior quality, far beyond the Newcastle coal. The vein lies almost on the surface of the earth, and can, therefore, be worked at a trifling expense. First comes a layel' of inferior coal, three feet thick, which is immediately succeeded by another layer of excellent coal, about five feet thick, w hich can betaken out in solid masses a yard square. PEG OR PIN TANKAIIDS.— These tankards, of which there are only four or five remaining in this country, have on the inside a row of eight pins, one above another., from top to bottom, and hold two quarts. The law, in ancient times, was to empty the space between pin & pin ( half a pint Winchester mea- sure) so a* to make thc company elriuk alike; besides, the rule was, that whoever drank short of his pin, or beyond i » , was obliged to drink again, and even as eleep as the next pin— a pi el t v sure method of making all Ihe company drunk. Hence arises the expression 44 ( hat a person is in a merry pin," that is to say, he drank ( o such a pin. Another saying is, 44 to take a person a peg lower," in like manner as ihe liquor is made to diminish by a peg at the time. In Arch- bishop Auselm's canons, A. I). 110* 2, priests are enjoined not to go drinking bouts, nor to drink to pegs. TURKISH CANNON.— It is singular, that in our conflicts with barbarians, or with half- disciplined troops, we generally sustain a heavier loss than in our battles with veteran and well- organized armies. Whether ( his arises from our contempt of the enemy inducing us to attack them at greater odds, or at closer quarters, or lhat such foes are stimulated by the fiercer passions of untamed nature, we cannot determine, but the foot is well worthy of consideration. In our battles wiih ihe Americans last war, our loss was always heavy in the extreme. Our attack on Algiers was attended with a loss of life nearly equal lo any thing we had ever sustained on board of a flee! ; and, if we include the numbers killed on board Ihe Russian ships at Navaririo, we shall find Ihe total number of killed and wounded lo be nearly as great as in any of our battles lasl war. Willi respect to the Turks, this may arise from the extremely heavy cannon which they generally use. In our ships, and, we believe, in our batteries, we seldom use a heavier gun than a 32- pounder. No man of war carries any cannon of a large calibre; but the. Turks make use of even 800- pounders. When Sir J Duck, worth passed ( he Dardanelles lo attack Constantinople, iu 1807, his fleet was dreadfully shattered by these immense shot. The Royal George ( of 110 guns) was nearly sunk by only one shot, which carried awav her cut- water; another cut the mainmast of the Windsor Castle nearly in two; a shot knocked two ports of the Thunderer into one; the Repulse ( 74) had her wheel shot away, and 24 men killed and wounded, by a single shot, nor was the ship saved but by ihe mosl wonderful exertions One of these guns was east in brass in the reign of Amurat ; it was composed of two parts, joined by a screw at the chamber, its breech resting against a massy stone work ; the difficulty of charging it would not allow of its being fired more than once ; but as ; i Pacha once said, a single discharge would destroy ilmosi a whole fieel of an enemy. The Baron de Toll, to the great terror of the Turks,, resolved to fire this gnu. The shot weighed 1,1- 00lbs and he loaded it with 330lhs. of powder; he sajs 44 1 felt a shock like an earthquake, at the distance of 800 fathoms. 1 saw the ball divide into three pieces, and these fragments of a rock crossed ihe Strait, aud rebounded on the mountain." The heaviest shot w hich struck our ships was of granite, and weighed SOOlbs. and was 2 feet 2 inches iu diameter. Oue of these huge shot, to the astonishment of our tars, stove in ihe whole larboard bow of the Active; and having thus crushed" this immense mass of solid limber, the shot rolled ponder, ously aft, and brought up abreast the main hatchway, the crew standing aghast at ihe singular spectacle. A few years ago, a party of English midshipmen crawled into one of these guns on iheir hands and knees, to the no small amusement of the Turks. i$ lt0ceUanscu0 SnteUtgence. Mr. Davies Gilbert was elected President of the Itoyal Society, to the great satisfaction of the w hole body, on Friday afternoon. A King's medal was awarded to Sir Humphry Davy, and another to Dr. Struve, a German professor in St. Petersburg!). Letters from Coifn of the 28th ull. state, that out of ninety. eight vessels, Turkish and Egyptian, which were lu the Bay of Navarin, not more thau four were m a condition to sail after the battle, aud even those had suffered materially. Accounts from the Red Sea, received at Bombay, state that a serious disturbance has lately taken place at the East India Company's residency at Mocha, occasioned by a quarrel between a party of Turks belonging to the Pacha of Egypt, and some of the Sepoys attached to the residency. The Turks, it appears, after obliging the Sepoys to seek shelter within the factory, the gales of which were im- mediately shut oil them, attempted to enter the place by climbing over the walls, aud, probably, would have succeeded, had they not been deterred by one of the foremost of the party being shot dead on the spot, by the surgeon belonging to the residency. Two British ships of war were before the town, ready to render every protection to the residency, but it was thought probable that the surgeon would be obliged to quit Mocha, as the Turks continued to breathe vengeance agaiust him.
