It gently opens the Breast, hud immediately gives Liberty of Breathin; without any Danger of taking Cold, and thus it affori great Relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the Tickling- which provokes frequent Coughing, cleansfs the smalt Glands, relaxes the Fibres, and thereby enlarges the Cavities of the Vessels.— Thus it. will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals Rawness and Soreness of the Chest.

The Shropshire Hovnds will meet Intended Chapel of Ease in Frankwell. We have, as our readers are aware, noticed from time to lime the steps taken.. fur the purpose of raising a subsetiption towards the erection of a Chapel of Ease in Frujikwell ; buf, in doing this, although we have been favoured by correspondence both of. au argumentative and a caustic description for inser- tion, we have carefully avoided entering into the dis. cussinii commenced by the - opponents of the measure, frpm a Conviction that, whichever party had the best of the argument, a iif wspftper controversy on siirh a qnest'oni « as not likely to further the interests of Religion, or to promote that spirit of good- w ill which, on local subjects, is so much to be desired at all times. A public meeting. having, however, taken1 place on Thursday last, which in its detail and results has excited a more than ordinary degree of interest, we have, for the information of our more distant readers, thought it right to preface our report, of the proceed- ings of that meeting wiih what we conscientiously believe to he an impartial and incontrovertible, state- ment of the origin and character of the present dispute win the parish of- St. Chad. At the time of the Reformation ( nearly 300 years ago) t iiei e a ere precisely the - saniemunber of Parisli Churches in Sinews bury, as " at the present moment; and, with the exception of the churches of St Julian and- St. pfiavd' ( both of modern erection), the old ehurclies held as many persons as will those of the present day : indeed, we believe old St. Alkmond's would have held more than the present one. How great the increase in population has been in that period must he apparent f and yet, although an Fade-; pendent Chapel, a Baptist Chapel, two Wesl( jv5in Methodist Chapels, a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, a Primitive Methodist Chapel, a Unitarian Chapel, and a Roman Catholic Chapel, have been erected within that period ( some of them within these few years), no addit on has been made to the number of places of worship attached to the Establishment.— — The party now opposed to the erection of a Chapel of Ease in Fraukwell, asserted, at the meeting- on Thursday last, that they Were opposed to the erection of an additional church, on the broad ground that there was no necessity for one. We happen at fhU moment to have before us a copy of a circular address ed, in August last, " to the Religious Public," by i body of Anabaptists in this town, who propose to build a second Baptist Chapel within it, and they say ' that THIS TOWN presents a sphere for enlarging the Redeemer's kingdom, when the DISPROPORTION of PLACKS FOR DIVINB WOHSHIP and the VAST POPULA- TION. are taken into consideration.' A similar opinion has long- actuated many of the members of the estab- lished church' ? u the parish of St Chad, and the detached suburb of Frankwell, which alone contains about ' 2000 inhabitants, and in w hich there is no place of any denomination for public worship, was consi- dered the most eligible site for a chapel of ease to the mother church. In consequence, on the 5th of August, 1825, a meet ing of several of the most influential persons in the parish was held, and at w hich the Lord Bishop of the Diocese and Lord Kenyon kindly attended ; the Rev. John Langley and the Rev. Humphrey Sandford, then the only officiating ministers in the parish, were also present, and took part in the proceedings of the said meeting, and by that meeting it was resolved UNANIMOUSLY — 1. " That, in consequence of the great increase of the population of St. Chad's parish, and the conse- quent inadequacy of accommodation' afforded to the inhabitants by tlin present Church, and Chapel at Bieton, AN ADDITION A L CH tJKCH IS GREATLY WANTED ; and that it is highly expedient strenuous endeavours should he exerted to accomplish so desir- able an Object. 2. " That the SUBURB OF FRANKWELL appears to be THE MOST ELIGIBLE SITUATION for the proposed new Structure." So much for the broad ground of there being no necessity for an additional church.— We may however state, in addition, what we can vouch to be true, that in many instances the rents of the pews in St Chad's Church have been trebled, and in some quintupled, within the last twelve years, in consequence of the wish to obtain that accommodation in the church which the parishioners are anxious to acquire, but which, from the competition for pews, and the inadequacy of their number, cannot be obtained iu some instances at a rent greater than that of many of the smaller dwelling houses in the parish ; and the present average of the price on all the pews of the church, taken indiscriminately, back and front, small and large, in the grliery and in the body of the church, is £ 3. 4s. 6d. each.* At the time the above resolutions were UNANIMOUS, LY agreed to, the late Rev. Thomas Stedman was the Vicar ; and no one had an idea of taking the appoint- ment. of the Curate to the proposed Chapel out of the hands of the Incumbent: but Mr. Stedman died shortly afterwards ; and then a eeitain number of the inhabitants of the parish ( several of whom have now by their votes declared their belief that the erection of another Church is worse than useless!!) signed a petition ( doubtless from the best of motives) for the erection of an additional Church, but with a view to take the presentation to the Curacy thereof out of the hands of the new Incumbent. To many of the most respectable, parishioners and members of the Estab- lishment, ( who at the same time felt no hostility to the Gentleman whom the petitioners just mentioned had in view as the person to iill the proposed Curacy,) the idea of depriving- the Vicar of the patronage of the Curacies in his parish seemed most objectionable, on the 41 broad ground" of its being injurious not merely to the interests and discipline of the Establishment, but of Religion generally : they, therefore, prepared a Memorial, which they transmitted to the Bishop of the Diocese, praying that the patronage of the pro- posed Curacy Alight not be severed from the Incum- bent of the Parish, and pledging themselves to use their endeavours to obtain funds towards the erection of the • intended. Church. They accordingly did col- lect subscriptions to the amount of nearly £ 2000 ; and were promised such aid from the Commissioners for Building Churches, as they are iu hopes will enable them to accomplish their object without burdening- the Parish in any way. • The ippponents of the plan for building another Church, when tln- v found there was a probability of the funds being- raised, commenced a series of attacks upon the proposed measure, and have asserted, that such erection would he in opposition to the sentiments of nine- tenths of the parishioners of St. Criad, and have asked how the " tradesmen will relish another ls. 6d. in the pound" for the intended Chapel f How far the measure may he in opposition to the wishes of nine- tenths of the parishioners will be best exemplified by the final state of the poll, a detail of whieh, up to last night, we have subjoined.— As to the " ls. Rd. iu the pound," ignorance and malice only could have dictated such an assertion ; for any one acquainted with the subject must know that a rate of Is. 6d. in the pound would produce iu St Chad's Parish nearly £ 1000; and a reference to the expense that has attended Bicton Chapel during the last forty years, will enable those who would wish to act upon the dictates of truth and candour to form a tolerably correct } udgment: during those forty years the total average yearly expenditure, including the clerk's salary, has been, according to the parish accounts, less than seven pounds, or about half a farthing in the pound according to the present amount of the rate, although this average includes about paid for repairs within the last > 6 years. What the parishioners have to apprehend, even if they were liable to the repairs of the New Chapel, may thus be eat'lv conjectured. — We certainly are among the number of those who wish to see an addi- tional church erected ; and we have no hesitation in saving that the proposed structure would be a yreat boon to the parishioners, more especially the middle and humbler classes ^ and that if the present oppor- tunity of obtaining an additional Church at so cheap a rate should not be embraced, we think the parish- ioner will be alike blind to their own interests and to the interests of that Religion which they profess.

On Thursday last, a Meeting was held in the Vestry Room of St. Chad, pursuant, to the Requisition alluded to in the advertisement inserted iii another column. The Rev. James E. Couipson, the Vicar, having been called to the chair, and the requisition and notice for the meeting having been read, Mr. Hazledine asked whether it was intended to give any explanation as to the intentions of ( he Committee relative to the proposed erection of a Chapel of Ease in Frankwell. He and those who were of a like opinion with himself had some resolutions to propose in opposition to that measure, and he thought the present was the most proper period for giving- an ex- planation, if the Committee intended doing so. Col. Iviiyvett Leighton said, although he attended the meeting as a Parishioner only, yet, as one of the Committee lie could say they had given every explana- tion in their power until the Meeting of his Majesty's Commissioners should take place, which had been deferred in consequence of Christmas intervening. The proceedings of the Committee had hitherto been most anxiously made public; as soon as the reply of * There is only ON v pew now unlet in the church, and that remains unlet because it is in a very ineligible situation, nod the rent asked for it is £ 5 !! The number of persons that have applied for, and are now anxious to obtain, pe\ v3 or sittings'in the church is very considerable. + The church- rale of St. Chad's parish has not reached the amount of Is. (! d. in the pound during the last ten years, and has only h? c* n that amount about half a dozen times since 11m church wan erected. It should always he borne in mind, too, that the present church- rate is the consequence of a calamity for which the parishioners are in no ways to be blamed— the old church'having fallen dowu iu the year 1788. the Commissioners should arrive, the Committee would be able to state explicitly their intentions; and he could assure the meeting the Committee were assidu- ously engaged iu doing their utmost for the benefit of the parish, and with a view to prevent the laying any burden upon it for the repairs of the intended structure: for this reason, they had hoped the meeting would. have been deferred till it was in their power to lav before it the final decision of his Majesty's Commissioners. Mr. Hazledine said, if the m eel ing had been deferred to the period proposed, it would, under the Act of Parliament, have' been too late to have opposed the erection of the intended Church. A long colloquy then took place as to what Act the Committee thought themselves to be legally proceed- ing under; and as to whether ttrey would pledge themselves that no expense for the repairs <> f the in- tended Chapel of Ease should ever fall upon the parish " he questions on these* points were put in various ways; and Col. Leighton several times replied, that the question now between the Committee and the Com- missioners was as to the reservation of a certain pro- portion of the subscriptions, in order to provide for the future repairs. Mr. Walton contended that it was not in the power of the Committee, if they were so disposed, to reserve any sum as a sinking fund for such a purpose. Unless ihe members of lire Committee, or some of tbenv,- would charge their estates with the repairs of fhe| intended siructuie, the repairs would inevitably fall at a future period on the parish rates. Col. Leighton said, he certainly would not pledge himself to the extent proposed, nor would the Com- mittee do so, that no expense for repairs should under any circumstances fall upon the parish ; but the Com- mittee were most anxiously taking the steps which they thought calculated. to prevent any expense falling- upon the parish for the repairs alluded to. The Vicar said, the Act the- Committee intended to proceed under was that of the 58th Geo. III. cap. 134 ; and lie thought the character of the Gentlemen w ho formed the Committee was a sufficient guarantee that they would do all in their power to prevent the parish from being burdened. - The Rev. John Lang- ley said, if they took any^ poney from the Commissioners, the parish would be houiid to repair it. Mr. Watton said, he had the utmost confidence in the character of the individuals who composed tlie Committee; but when the interests of the public were concerned, they had nothing- to do but to look to the security of those interests. Mr. Smith said, he was the oldest inhabitant in the parish, and he had £ 1200 secured on the rates of the parish church ; he wished to know w hether his money would be so secure after the erection of another Church had diminished tbe pew- rents, as it now was?!!! ( Much laughter.) The Chairman thought the falling off in the rents of the pews would be but trifling. Mr. Watton ( trt the Vicar)—' You admit then, there is a probability of a great failure in the rents of the pews. The Chairman.— No ! I do not: there may be sotne diminution. Mr. Watton.— Then, instead of conferring a benefit on the parish, you will add a burden to those which already bear upon the poor. To the respectable per sons who occupy seats in the parish church, two or three guineas a- year is no object: but the additional church- rate to make up the deficiencies of the pew rents would fall on the poor. M r. Thomas Lloyd said it would not ; the rate would almost wholly fall on those who were more able to pay. Mr. Driver said,, it had just been stated, fbat the pews in the church were paid for by gentlemeVwho did not mind two or three guineas in the rent, biit it was necessary that another class of persons should be - considered : he meant those who could not afford to pay high rents, and who could riot now have aceom inodation in the church at all. He had not the least doubt of the pews being- all taken if the Chapel should be built; but he did not know that the rents would be reduced: perhaps they may; for many of the. pews were let now at ver, y high prices : they were 1( 38 in number, and averag- ed about £ 3. 4s. 6d. each ; hut supposing the rents should he really reduced so much as £ 100 or £ 170, w hat then would be the consequence ? Why thYee- pcnce in the pound would be required to make up the deficiency : a person rated at £ 10 a- year would have to pay 2s. t> d. more in church- rates, and if he attended the church, he may save about 20s. in pew. rent: other rate- payers may calculate from this according* to their rating : but with respect to the Dissenters the case must certainly be acknowledged to be somewhat different, because they could not derive any advantage from the pews being- let at lower rates. But the sum to he raised would be divided an^ ongst so many, that it could not much affect any one, or neces- sarily occasion great opposition nVerely on that account, even from Dissenters, or from any who would" not wish for the overthrow of the, Established Church . ( Disap- probation. J They might hiss if they chose ; but ire would say, that the larger rate- paver, if he rented only one pew, could be little or nothing out of pockpt, by reason of the reduction in the price, nor could the alteration be tbe cause of much objection with any per- sons who were friendly towards the Church, if lliey would only look fairly into the question. Mr. Walton said," then there was not a thought about the farmer, whose rates were to so large an amount. The Chairman Said, there Were farmers present ; if lliey thought themselves aggrieved, let them speak for themselves. Mr. Walton sard, it was evident what was the generosity of those who proposed to build the new church; for they thought to be material gainers by renting their pews cheaper. But the poor who did not now pay for pews, and who could occupy the free seats in tjie present Church, would have to make up ihe deficiency of rent in the shape of rates. Mr. Llovd again. repeated, that the rales were not collected from that class of parishioners. Mr. Thurstan Cook said, he knew instances of rates having been so collected. Mr. Lloyd,— Yes, perhaps, instances prepared for the purpose of raising the present argument. Mr. Walton said, it was extremely harsh to cast any reflections on the Dissenters, many of wlvom had subscribed towards the erection of the intended Chapel, under the impression that the presentation to ihe Curacy was not to be vested in the Vicar, but in the Subscribers. -. t' Mr. Driver said lie had been out collecting for three days, and as far as that collection went, only one Dissenter had subscribed. Col. Leighton said, he must say, that if Mr. Driver's observations were considered unkind, lie thought the allusion of Mr. Watton to the Vicar equally so. He was, however, most happy to bear his testimony to the kind feeling of the Dissenters, from several of whom he had received subscriptions; and it was perfectly understood, hefore a single subscription had been set dow n, that the presentation to the Curacy was to be vested in the Vicar for the time being. The Uev. John Laugley said, there had been mi. ieh desultory conversation that might have been spared: if the Committee were prepared to pledge themselves that no ex- pense for repairs should fall upon the parish, much' of the present opposition would, cease. There was more church- room required ( Cheating). He wished, however, to ask, whether the rates had not already been touched on account of this Chapel? Mr. Watton said he had seen the accounts; and there were certain items as to charges oil account of this proposed Chapel being paid out of the rates. Mr. Hazledine said he would read them $ and he accordingly read the following iterUs :— Mr. Samuel Harley's expenses to Lichfield ( on account of this Chapel) £ 5 15 ( 3 Ditto, his Bill , ll 1 « 6 Mr. LoxdaleV I ill 13 0 0 Mr. Haziedit ' said he wished now to know what they thought of Mr. William Hurley's resolution t'tmt the" parish should not, by possibility, he taxed on account of the proposed Chapel ? He should like to know what iVii\ Samuel Hurley's Bill was lor ? Mr. S. Hurley said his Bill " of £ 11. 10s. 6d. was for candles, & c. supplied for the lighting, &. C. of the parish church. Col. Leighton said, the Committee would not pledge themselves to prevent the possibility of the parish being called upon at some period for repairs ; at the same time they would do all that was possible to provide for the ordinary repairs of the structure. The Rev. John Langlev.- If yon will not pledge yourselves, why was Mr. William Harley's resolution agreed to, or why was Mr. Conipson's letter published ? The Chairman said, the Committee were now nego, ciating with the. Commissioners. If they agreed to the terms of the Committee,' he thought no charge could come on the parish ; but at present from £ 4000 to £ 5000 was wanting for the erection of the Chapel, and the Committee could not. state their final view of the subject unlil they had the answer of the Com- missioners. Mr. Clement said, he would now read, some resolu- tions, which he was about to offer to the consideration of Ihe meeting-.—[ For a copy of ihese Resolutions^ see the Advertisement . J The resolutions having been read, Captain Mnckleston said, he thought they were not met to dispute on all the points involved in those resolutions, but to consider as to the propriety of erecting- an additional Church or. Chapel. As an individual, he was a supporter of Ihe Established Church, because he thought it was the support of all 6ther establishments As to the Dissenters, he con- sidered them most honourable and worthy men, and he thought that they would, by supporting the Church, do that which was most to their own benefit.—{ Ap- plause.) Mr. William Harley said there were near 2000 inhabitants in the suburb of Frankwell; and he did hope that all would have been anxious to have afforded the humbler inhabitants of that district ihe accommodation which they so much needed* and which the proposed chapel is intended to supply : more especially as every means were takiitg to prevent the parish being in any way burdened on account of the proposed structure. Mr. Watton said he and Ifis friends were there assembled on the broad ground that there was no necessity for an additional Church. The parish contained about 7500 inhabitants, and the parish church had been erected on a plan . intended to accommodate 3000. [ This was denied by several of the parishioners present.] At any rate, be Sard, there was 100m for 1700 iu the pews, [ this also was denied],- besides what could be accommoda ed on the various benches. Thus, including Bicton Chapel, there was at least room for 2300 persons ; and an additional chinch was unnecessary ; for ihe church was scarcely half filled. Several parishioners said, this was not true; for no seats . could be obtained, as the pews were all let. Some persons present said there were pews to let. Mr. John Woodward ( Compasses) said he had tried to. obtain a pew and could not; he was informed, in answer to his application, that they were all let. Some of the parishioners present observed, they were now paying- treble, and others five times as much as they formerly had done for their pews, in consequence of the competition for seats. Mr. Smith affirmed, that the architect, who superin- tended the erection of the church, told him when at dinner with him,- it would hold 3000 persons. Mr Driver here observed ( iu reference to what had fallen from him in a former part of the discussion), that he seemed to have given offenCe without intend- ing it, which induced him to solicit their attention again for a few minutes only. The disapprobation he had met with had undoubtedly been exciled by some great misconception of what he had said. Some persons must have thought that he meatU to impute to Dissenters a disposition of hostility towards the Estab- lished Church, and therefore he considered it his duty to declare that he did not mean, nor did he believe, any such thing. lie knew great numbers of Dissent- ers who were entitled on every account to the highest respect and esteem : and he was acquainted with many who belonged to different Societies, and whose senti- ments he knew were not hostile towards the Church, but on the contrary they wished for its preservation, although they did not join it. He would not further trespass on their time than just to say he did not design to utter any expression that could be offensive to any individual, or to any society, or that should be disrespectful to Dissenters generally. But all he meant to say was, that the addition, if there should be any, to the church- rate, would be so trifling, as not to give just cause for alarm, or produce much opposition, from those persons who would be unwilling- to injrtre the Established Church.— ( Applause. J Mr. Clement's resolutions were then given to the Chairman, who asked permission to make a few ob- servations on them before he put them to ihe meeting-. It was remarked, that as the statements in the resolutions were not true, they required some ob- servations. The Chairman said, in the first place, the stipend of the clerg- ynau ought not to have been mixed up with the resolutions: it was derived from sources with w hich the church and poor rales had nothing- to do, and he was sure there was not one present who would deny that it was quite inadequate as a remuneration for the duties of this extensive parish. The Chairman then asked Capt. Muckleston, ( who resides al Biclon House,) whether he had ever heard that Bicton Chapel was about lo be rebuilt, as started in P? 3r. Clement's resolution. Capt. Muckleston said he never heard one word upon the subject hefore he came to this Meeting-. 1 The Chairman then appealed to the Rev. Humphrey Sandford, the Minister of Bicton Chapel, and one of the reqnisitionisls for ihe present meeting. Mr. Sandford said he had never heard from the Bishop on the subject. The Chapel, he said, WANTED BNLAKGIVG ( much cheering and lav° hter), for many persons who paid rates could not obtain seats in it ; and for the truth of this he would appeal to Capt. Muckleston.— Capt. Muckleston said, that was the ease; and he added, that the Chapel had been lately repaired, in consequence of the representation made to the Bishop on the subject. Mr. Watton then asked how the sinking fund for- merly appropriated to the payment of the debt on the parent church, but which had been diverted from its purpose, had been disposed of? and observed that the present debt on the Church, at the rate in which it was now paid off", would not he extinguished in 120 years, nor iu a longer period if an additional church was erected, when the repairs of it were added to the account. Mr. Scarth ( the clerk to the Trustees) said that w hen, a few years agOj the sinkin'g fund had reached the sum of £ iii00, the state of the public funds and of the pew- rents was such, that it was thought most • advisable, at a very numerous meeting of the parish- ioners, to sell out * the capital stock of which the sinking fund consisted, and apply it at once to the extinction of a part of the debt : this was done, and in that year £ 2200 of the debt was extinguished, and € 2<' 0 in each subsequent year had been regularly paid off. Joseph Loxdale, Esq. then asked whether the charges of £ 2(- 0, stated in Mr. Clement's resolution as for the repairs of Old St. Chad's Church, was not, in fact, a charge for the railing in of the church yard, instead of for the repairs of the small part of ihe old church novv remaining, and which is used as a school- room for the poor children of the parish. The Chairman said, the charge was not for repair- ing the church, hut for railing in the church- yard; and that the late Archdeacon Owen had threatened to p. resent the state of that cemetery to the Bishop, Unless it was so railed in.— Mr. Compson and Mr Loxdale bore testimony to the filthy and disgraceful state of the church yard previous ro its being failed Mr. Watton said it made Kittle or no difference whether the expense had been incurred for the church or fhe church- yard. Some of the parishioners said it did : for, from the wording of Mr. Clement's resolution, it was made to appear an annual burden, instead of a charge that would proj^ rbl v never occur again. Mi-. Morris Morris said the £ 200 incurred for the old church- yard was, as Mr. Hazledine well knew, for iron railing, and would not be w ant ing again lor at least 100 years to come. Capt. Muckleston asked if any one could tell what had been the annual charge of Bictou Chapel for the last 40 years? — Mr. S. Ilarley said, as far as his know ledge extended, it was about £ 5 a year. The first of Mr. Clement's resolutions was at length put to the vole ; and on the shew of hands being- taken, the Chairman said he could not decide which party had it. Mr Thomas Lloyd then demanded a poll, which demand was seconded bv Mr. John Woodward. — Afier a stormv colloquy on this point bad taken place, Col. Kuyvett Leighton said — u Although a member of the Committee for the erection of a projected church, I appear here as a parishioner : and 1 am the more anxious to draw that distinction, since 1 am clearly of opinion that no resolution which may be adopted here can affect the measures of a body perfectly independent of us, and neither claiming nor deriving their authority or competency to act from any powers delegated to ihem b\ ihe parish at large. We, it seems, are called here to- dav to decide upon ihe propriety of confirming or rescinding- a resolution pin porting to have been carried at a parish meeting, asserting the expediency of providing additional church- room for the inhabitants. Then I have no hesitation in saying that 1 am one of those who do think that more church- room is abso- lutely necessary. And if it is ( as far as 1 at present understand the plans of the contributor* lo the pro- posed building), it is about to he nffoided us, not only in a lawful manner, but upon terms quite unobjection- able and highly liberal, if this meeting will give me a hearing ! will state my reasons. In 1825 a meeting resolved, that it was expedient to provide additional church- room : a public meeting- held on tbe 16th July last has resolved the same. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese and the Incumbent have both consented to the erection of a church : and a number of individuals have stepped forward and said, " We will build you n church, and, with the assistance of His Majesty's Commissioners, we will pay for it ;" and it has been agreed upon to proceed under the authorities of the same Acts of Parliament under w hieh if w as intended to have proceeded in 1825. What is there in this which is illegal? or which fifty man need find fault with? or which members of the Established Church at least ought not to accede to thankfully ? or which this meeting can have any pretence or power to resist ? If a rate were asked to aid the building, then, I know, such a proceeding might bp stopped ; not, however, by Ihe vote of the parish meeting, nor by a vote of rate- payers, but when proprietors of rateable property amounting* to one- third of the rateable property of the parish should have signified their dissent in writing. No rate, however, has been asked for, or is intended lo be asked for: though, if it were, the remedy would be with the parish, and then I for one would most strenu- ously oppose it —- At present, however, ihe projectors of the new church have my cordial approbation.— I have heard it said, indeed, J'hat this work ought not lo proceed, because, if a new church is built, the rent, of pews in the present church will be greatly lowered I do not believe that this will he the case to any material extent, if at all ; for many people are now obliged to go without pews, because either I hey cannot obtain them a! all, or cannot afford to pay for them at the presennt rate of letting. But, if tbe rents should be lowered, would not the parishioners in gcueral gain as much bv having their seats cheaper a* they would have to pay in the form of rate. I really canfiot see, therefore, what members of the Establishment can pos- sibly have to Complain of, or what injury they can possibly sustain. At all events, I Would ask such persons whether they will say that an additional chnreh is worth absolutely nothing ? — But it , is said that ilie parish will hereafter be hurdvned with repairs. I shall have a few words to say presently in answer to th s. B" t I would a* k first, what is this, mighty matter of burthen which this great parish are so sadly afraid of having divided amongst them hereafter? We have, it seems, a church which cost £ 18,000 or £ 20,000, and there is a debt irpon it of £ 12,000 or £ 13,000. To support the fabrick, and to pay as much of the interest of the debt as is not provided for by the pew rents, tfosts the parish, we are told, a rale of one shilling in the pound 5 and therefore it is rir& ned, that if will cost as much to uphold an intended fabrick of not half the siz;-, and upon which there is no debt al all. Where is the fairness or honesty of such a state- men! ? Let it he seen what the present church, upon an average of years, costs in actual and necessary repairs, exclusive of unnecessary embellishments to which the paiish are not obliged to consent, and allot less than oue- haff or that sum to the repairs of the new church, when after a lapse of years any repairs shall be necessary, and then we shall be heller aide to say whether s'ich repairs would, indeed, cost one shilling in the pound, or whether a halfpenny or a penny would, not be sufficient. However, it is well known that it is no part of the plan of the contributors to the intended building* to lay even this burthen upon the parish. They hope to be enabled to provide a fund to meet the expense of all ordinary repairs. This their Committee have stated, and they have stated also that the moment that their plans are matured anil they know what His Majesty's Commissioners will do further, the result and their determination shall he put fully before the public. It has so happened that, owing to the inter- vention of Christmas, the meeting of His Majesty's Commissioners has been postponed ; therefore they have not as yet got their answer. Now, I have always deemed il no small part of wisdom to wait till a subject an he fully surveyed on all sides before declaring an opinion upon it. Had this question been indeed con- fined to the bare affirmance or denial as' to the neces- sity of more church room, a simple reference to the census and the admeasurement of St. Chad's church would decide tbe question: and 1 might leave ii to those gentlemen, who upon a former occasion supported • he affirmative, to shew what new lights eiiher in arithmetic or geometry have thus enabled them to diminish the one and enlarge the other. But it is clear that this is an attack on the proceedings of the Com- mittee, and an attempt lo slop the work which they, in conformity'with the expressed w ishes of a large and respectable meeting, have undertaken; and not only undertaken but proceeded in without a breath of oppo- sition till they ha* d actually raised ihe funds necessary for the work. It has been already stated that they have communicated to the Churchwardens the precise slate in which their negotiations with the Commis- sioners rest, and that they have assured them that' when concluded ihe result and their determination shall be placed fully hefore the public. I cannot, therefore, but believe, that whatever effect the resolu- tions of a parish meeting may have on ibis occasion, they will at least be entitled to graver consideration, if thev are formed upon a more complete view of the subject than can now he taken of it. I therefore move. That the" further consideration of the points before 11s be adjourned, until the Committee shall have made their promised communication itom the Commis- sioners."—( Clreat applause. J The Chairman said, for his part, he had supported the proposal for erecting the intended Chapel of Ease be- cause he thought an addifibnal church was necessary, and would do good. Rev, J. Langley.— Why then did you oppose the former proposal for erecting a Church? The Chairman.— Because the appointment of the Minister was not to have been in the Vicar. ftev. J. Langley.— Ah! then thai was nol to do good. The Chairman.— This, I think, is not the place to discuss that question : if, however, you will appoint a place. for the discussion, I am ready lo meet and discuss that question with you at any time. T would, however, ask j 011 what yon would have done if you had been in my situation as Vicar? I would appeal also to Mr. Sandford or any other Clergyman to answer that ques- tion as if he were in my situation. Tbe Rev. Humphrey Sandford said, lie certainly must say tbe presentation ought to be iu the Vicar for the tune being. Mr. Wat ton.— So then we have got to the kernel of the motives al last: the scheme for building this new church was to oppose another scheme on ihe ground of t he presentation. This was denied by many of tire subscribers present. Col, LeitrMon said, if there was any thing- wrong in the motive he would take his share of the blame most readily. He would not farther allude to the coolness, as lie would call it, ( for he Would not use a harsher term,) of tbe Reverend Gentleman alluded to ; but as a parishioner, and a member of the establishment, he most cordially would bear his testimony to ihe faithful manner in which ihe parochial duties had been per- formed by Mr. Langley a'nd by Mr. Conrpson : at the same lime, dreading the inconveniences that might arise frofh the existence of ( as it were) two establishments in one parish, he had signed the memorial for placing the patronage in the hands of the Vicar: he had done so with a view both lo the interests of religion and the peace and unanimity of the parish.— There had, how- ever, been meetings, and former resolutions entered into, for the promotion of the erection of an additional church, and he saw that some persons who had ex- pressed themselves in favour of those resolutions, were IHIW opposed to the erection ofau additional Church. Col.' Wrngfield said, if the patronage of the Church had been severed from the Vicar, His Majesty's Com- missioners would not have aided the undertaking-. The Rev. Humphrey Sandford admitted that he had been a party to the resolutions alluded to in favour of an additional church; but having a considerable estate in the parish, he thought there was no in- consistency in supporting a proposition for the calling- the parishioners together to take the. subject into consideration. Besides, in his opinion, the plan had been altered, since he acceded to those resolutions. A very noisy altercation then took place as to the mode of polling; but it was at length decided, that the poll should proceed as in a Vestry Meeting- : and it accordingly commenced.—- We subjoin a statement of each day's poll : — THURSDAY, JAN. 3.

ANUMEROUS MEETING was held tliis Day, pursuant to a Requisition, " To takn " into Consideration the Expediency of Frertinj; a " New Chuich iu Fiankuell, and' of conBrniiujr, " nlterino-, or rescinding: the Vemrv HcsoUiiiou of '* July lfilli ; also to afford an Opportunity to those " Proprietors who think proper to dissent from the " erecting such Chapel." THE VICAR in fhe Chair. The first Resolution heing put to the Meeting, the Chairman declined deciding oli the Shew of Hands : — A Pol! was afterwards demanded by the Friends of the New Church, in Opposition to the following Reso- lutions brought forward by ! Ylr. CI. FMEXT :— 1st. That as the Debt of the present CliBrch is £ 1- 2,300, its Charpes for Repairs, Interest, Officers, Sic. ( exolnsi ve of ihe Minister's Stipend which arisen from another Source) upwards of 1800; the Repairs of Old St Chad's unoccupied Church an annual Bur- den ( the Year past upwards of £- 200) ; the dilapidated State of Bicton Chapel, such as to have been lately presented to the Bishop, and shortly to be rebuilt, whereby a fresh Incumbrance will be brought upon the Parish ; and lastly, as the Church Rate of this; Parish already amounts to one Shilling-, generally to Is. 6d. in the Pound upon Two- thirds of the Rental— the proposed Erection appears to this Meeting not only pretnature but improvident, and unjust both to » l andlords and Tenants ; inasmuch as by such Erec- tion a very heavy additional Burden will necessarily be loid upon the Parishioners. 2d. That not only is the Chnreh Room in the Parisl^ tnnch more than adequate to the Congregations and to the Proportion of the Population as required by the Act 5th Geo. 1 V\ See. 5— but the Congregation at St Chad's often not half filling it, the Erection of another Chapel so near the Parent Church appears ta this Meeting even worse tha/ a. useless, as the Congre- gation will thereby be thinned and the Revenue from ihe Pews impoverished:, but, as an inevitable Conse- quence, additional Taxation must he resorted to iu Order to make good the Deficiency. 3d. That it appears to this Meeting that the Reso- lution entered iu the Vestry Boojc of July 16, IS'^ was as to the Parish nugatory, and that il is expedient to have it at once rescinded. 4th. That any Mode proposed hv the Subscribers for guaranteeing the Parish from the Repnirs of the proposed Chnpel, its Fitting up, Burial Ground, & e. unless by Act of Parliament, or a Security on Real Property, appears to this Sleeting inadequate iu Law, and therefore objectionable and unsatisfactory. 5th. That the Thanks of the Meeting are due to the Subscribers at large : and their Bounty is respect- fully recommended to he applied to the re- building; Bicton Chapel in some convenient Site, as authorised bv the Act 59th Geo. III.; also that an addition.**) Sermon be preached ( if necessary) in St. Chad's Church on Sundays, and that the Pews be Let for that Purpose, the Produce thereof ro be given to the Vicar* agreeably to the Act £> Sth Geo.

SALOFIAM JIMJlEMAIL, Yesterday a Piece of Plate, consisting of magnificent nnd massive candelebras designed with the most exquisite taste, executed in the first style of art ( by Storr and Mortimer, London), and so contrived as to form an epergne if desired, was'presented to Colonel Dallas, by a depo'alii. n of the Officers, Non- commission- ed OfHcers, and Privates of the . Shrewsbury Yeomanry Cavalry, assembled in their orderly room. Major Jenkins, on whom the tusk of conveying- the sentiments of the Regiment devolved, addressed Colonel Dallas as follows : — COLONBL DALLAS— Being Senior Officer of the Shrews- bucy Yeomanry Cavalry, I have been requested by the Oncers, Non Commissioned Officers, and Privates of that Corps, to take upon me the pleasing office of presenting you with this Piece of Plate, as a lasting memento of their per- sonal esteem for you, and also as as a mark of the high sense they entertain of your abilities as a Commanding Officer, which have been exerted during the long period of tvventy- foUr years with such credit to yourself, and with so much advantage to the Corps. However, Sir, we may regret the loss we shall sustain by your departure, we cannot but derive considerable consolation when we reflect, that you are going to take possession of a situation so honourable and so advan- tageous as the Government to which you have been appoint- ed ; and we most since. rely and most heartily wish you and , your family every possible health and happiness in the enjoy- ment of it, and in due time a safe return to your native land. Colonel Dallas replied in the following terms : — GENTLEMEN-- I have had the honour to command the Shrewsbury Yeomanry Cavalry for nearly a quarter of a century. My I. ord Powis, the Lord Lieutenant of the County, and my Lord Hill, did us the honouY of reviewing us: their approbation was highly valuable. Your Inspecting Officers uniformly approved of yon, and my poor pratse yod have to the fullest extent. The zeal of officers'and men is Dot to be excelled by any corps that ever existed, which has rendered the part that fell to my lot the most pleas'aut and easy, perhaps, experienced by any Commanding Officer. No words that I can utter will express my feelings, when [ say I roust take my leave of you, to proceed and take charge of the Government of St. Helena I have been so highly honoured with by the Honourable Court of Directors. Go wherever 1 may be called, 1 will never cease to reflect on the many tiappy and friendly years 1 have passed in this Corps. OFFICERS AND" IVLEN » ~ L beg you will accept my warmest thanks for the high honour you have done me in presenting me with this Piece of Plate as a mark of your esteem and regard, which I shall ever consider most valuable. Wishing Vou every happii. ess and success in all your undertakings, 1 am, Officers and Men, your most faithful and devoted friend. The base of the splendid present ( which weighs 292 ounces) is circular, nnd divided into three compart- ments, between each of which as well as between each branch of the candelabra* is, in high relief, a dolphin naiant; each of those bniwoen tlie latter having part of lis body entwined round the branches of the caudelahras.

It is freely rendered. + The Courser, the Rue, and the Lioq, are the arms of the neighbouring states that had fallen before the eouquerorfc/ The horse- breeders would possibly feel the in- vention, in the partial decay of their trade for horses for the road. But the decay on the whole might be but trifling-; with the general intercourse of the island, and the consequent general cheapness of living, men would have more money to lay out on luxuries, and a fine horse will be a luxury to the end Qf time. Thousands would keep horses for one that keeps them now. The consumption of proven- der for these animals might fall off for a little while; but if the farmer sowed less oats, he would but have the more room to sow wheat: the profits would be the same, and the public would be possessed of its food at a cheaper rate. Besides, in the operations of agriculture, the horse is at present a chief source of expense— the saving of that expense would be a fortune to the farmer. The steam- horse, or steam- plough, would besides be a better servant; it would not be tired, but would work as well by night as by day, and perhaps with the usual superiority of mechanism over animal power. It would thus do twice,- or ten times, the work, in a brief period, when it was of the utmost importance, from the state of the Weather, that time should be made the most of. It would do it better and more regularly. The sfeam- horse would not be sick, it would not lose a shoe, nor run lame, nor require food through the winter. Every operation of the farm, from the first turning up of the ground to the harvest- home, might be intrusted to Steam in oue shape or other of carriage, and this exemplary drudge would work wonders iu all. In the forest it would plant, cut down, and carry home the tree; it would drag the boat against the river, or along the canal; it would rear chickens and carry them to market, with half I he village on its back; it would stack the corn, and thrash it, and bake it, and carry it in fresh loaves from Bristol to London between breakfast and din- ner. All the old miracles of locomotion, the arrow of Abaris, the car of Phaeton, the flying serpents of Triptolemns, the gryphons of the Arab magicians, and the wishing- cap of Fortunatus, will be tardy and trifling to the Steam- horse, Pegasus himself never soared higher flights, nor was the Python more irresistible. York, in the year 1807 ; and many of us can re- member how, up to that very hour, the operations of the great inventor were the theme of constant jeering and scorn. The account of her first voyage to Albany is thus described:—' She excited the astonishment of the inhabitants of the shores of thu Hudson, many of whom had not even heard of ae engine, much less of a steam- boat. She was de- scribed by some, who had indistinctly seen her passing in the night, as a monster moving- on the waters, defying the tide, and breathing flames and smoke. Her volumes of smoke and fires by night, attracted the attention of the crews of other vessels. — Notwithstanding the wind and tide were adverse to its progress, they saw with astouishrtf> 6ut that it was rapidly approaching them ; and when it came so near that the noise of the machinery andpaddlers was heard, the crews in some instancessunk beneath their decks, from the terrific sight, and left their vessels to go on shore, while others prostrated themselves, and besought Providence to protect them from the approaches of the horrible monster, which was marching on the tides, and lighting its path by the fires which it vomited.' " All this happened, not on a river of Thrace— not iu the days of Philip of Macedon; but on the river Hudson, between New York and Albany, twenty years ago! So recent is the origin of those steam- boats which now gladden all the bays, and lakes and rivers of our land !" i$ Us3teUancasj0 Intelligence. STEAM CARRIAGES./ The most novel application of Fhaf mo^ t powerful" of all agents, Steam, is now comins: before the public in a form which at least promises practical effects. Gin ney, an ingenious chemist aiirt mechanician, has, utter various attempts and failures, brought his steam carriage into a state allowing of actual ex-- perimcnt on the road. It some time since ran up Highgute Hill, a very steep ascent, at the rate of probably ten miles an hour; but its descent was more formidably rapid, for the pilot was unable to fuide ifs velocity, and it tore off one of its wheels, o be run away with by a horse of this kind, that would think nothing of whirling carriage, passen- gers, and all, into the third heavens, or dissolving thim into a jelly in the face of mankind, was too perilous an adventure to be assured of popularity. In th « mean time another engineer sent another steam carriage to perambulate the streets, but his name was the most disastrous imaginable for the purpose. Au old Roman would have pronounced him destined by fate never to prosper in steam ap- paratus, for the name was Burstall. The omen was true, for the carriage blew up, and boiled and par- boiled several scientific spectators, doing at the same time the good work of washing the faces of the mob far and wide. Gurney's carriage is now ready, like a pair of lovers, for a run on the north road, and the Edin- burgh mail mav begin to tremble. But its first run will be to Windsor to pay its respects lo his Majesty, as in duty bound. It is next to visit Bristol by day, and having felt its way in sunshine, is to try its speed with the mail; this will be a decisive proof of its locomotive powers, for the rapidity of the Bristol mail is such, that double insurance is said to be required by the Offices for all who travel in it, and all who have any thing to leave are publicly re- quested to make their wills. But this machine has the one grand defect, that the steamery is under the I'eet of the passengers. The mighty agent which could make niineemeat of the whole cargo at a moment's warning, is working under the boards on Which 20 human being's pretend to be at their ease, travelling fourteen miles an hoor. Where the journey may end, whether at Bristol or in the other world, is the problem ; and it will be some time be- fore thosu who are not zealous of their speedy riddance of alt the cares of life, will be induced thus to soar upon hot- water wings. The engineer pro. tests by all the names of philosophy, that a blowing up is utterly impossible. But in the modern philo- sophy the most impossible things have come to pass so often, that a man attached to bin own vertebra: may well be allowed lo indulge a little scepticism. The machine will never be entitled to popularity until the chance of blowing up is entirely out of the question; which it can scarcely be, while the steam- engine forms a part of the carriage. It must be detached, and at some distance from the carriage, and not be a steam- coach, but a steam- horse. Then though our steed be blown, we shall not be in the same condition, which, though perhaps easily cured in his system of pipes, boilers, and valves, would defy the pharmacopoeia in onrs. And to this con slruction the machine will naturally come, and we shall have steam- teams for vans, and waggons; steam- sets for mail- coaches, and single horse pow ers of any shape, si'/. e, or colour, necessary for the generation of the Tilburies. Cuihturisand conveniences of this contrivance Mill be universal and obvious. Gentlemen nice about matching ( heir horses, will have nothing to do but send their own pattern to the japanner, and they may have any colour from scarlet to sky- blue. Awkward whips will drive like the choicest artists of Cambridge, without any more trouble than that of holding a rudder. The peculiar yevus described in the advertisements, as " timid gentlemen, that love an easy- going cob, tender in the mouth, and pacing like a lady," may have one that will 110 more start or fling out than a Bath chair; and to the romantic, the whole romance of guiding fiery chargers by a pin in the forehead, will be realized in perfection, at the rate of sixpence a. soar ! But if we can conceive this use of steam to be brought to that practical excellence which will allow of its general employment, the effects must be curious, and nationally benefit ial in a very high degree. Its evils to the horse trade, of the travelling trade, or the oat trade, it must be idle to set in competition with any one of its advantages. Those advantages, too, will not be so rapid, that time will not be given for things to find their level, and thus the least possible evil be done. Political economy is, three- fourths of it, utter nonsense, or utter ignorance, made presumptuous by the use of high sounding words, and exclusive pretensions; nothing^ too, can be less wise than the attempt to overthrow an established manufacture for ( lie sake of making the experiment of an unestablished oue, or trying how far we may beat the Freuch in silks and gloves, by allowing the British artizansof both to try how long they could live w ithout eating. But where we ob- tain a new power over nature, we have a new source or national wealth; and no matter what it may displace for the moment, we are sure that it will re- place the lots by ten times, or a thousand times, the gain. The spinning- jennies and power- looms have increased the weavers of England from 100,000 to nearly three millions! The steam- boats have per- haps not thrown a single ship out of employment, while Ihev have increased the general tonnage, and rendered the intercourse of England with her de- pendencies and the Continent a matter of certainty. If thest cam- carriage can be made general, its effects witl be more important to us than even those of the v steam- boal, as being applicable to a greater variety of purposes, more easy of employment, and involving less expense. The result on travelling would be probably ten passengers on the road for one ; au obvious benefit lo the trusts, to the innkeepers, and the towns; the increased cheapness and facility of conveying every kind of produce, domestic, com- mercial, and agricultural. We should have flocks and herds carried up to our markets without the present delay, expense, & exhaustion of the animals. Com, coals, all the necessaries and comforts of cities, would be brought with rapidity and ease by steam- waggons, and exchanged with the country for the merchandize that now must go by the slow and ex- pensive passage of the canals and the coast. The intercourse from corner to corner of England would probably be increased in all its details tenfold or fiftyfold, within a few years; and there would be 110 assignable limit to its increase, except the sur- charge of every corner with the produce of every other— a period beyond calculation. ELM TIMBEK. [ From the Gloucester Journal.'] SIR,— In your Journal of the 17th ult. you were so good as to give us a Letter from the Hereford, Journal of the 5th, written hy a very excellent judge of every thing, connected with rural economy, respecting the culture and growth of Eltu Trees and Timber in geue- lal; and as the writer's remarks were more of a nature inviting discussion than to establish facts, I avail myself, through your respfctable Paper, of replying to some of bis olwervations, assuring you, at the same time, that they are the result of fifty years' experience and observation. Itfe have, by a strange prejudice, for a long time paid, and continue to pay, a deference to the elm in question,. be it either the ulmit. s snberifera of Linnaeus, or the u/ mus campeshii ( decidedly the latter, iu my opinion), and consequently indigenous to the kingdom generally, hut more abounding iuVituations favourable to its nature, as the rich and deep Und of the vales of Gloucester, Somerset, and Glamorgan, must abund antly evince i 8(> much so, that in many places it is s very weed. In attempting, therefore, its culture from seed, I consider rio benefit whatever can accrue to the grower; for, independent of its aboriginal nature, the rapid mode pursued by the Nurserymen, of perpetuating it by grafting on the wytch, or Scotch elm, as well as by cuttings and layers, is such, that the slow, tedious, d uncertain mode of seed is entirely obviated. At be same time, I am not sufficiently justified in my own mind, in believing that the tree, arrived at maturity from seed, will ever become better timber than that grown from any of the methods before specified, especi- cialiy that by graftiug— a very judicious, method adopted by the Nurserymen, as the wytch elm, being a muc' more fibrous rooted plant, allows of its being trans- planted at a larger growth, and enables it to live, and even flourish, on cold and thin soils, generally found to be inimical to the elm of every species. But, all these points conceded, we are giving the el n question a very undue preference ; for, excepting as ornamental trees, near to or approaching Gen'lemen'i residences, the wytch elm is eminently superior fo every purpose to which tbe timber can be applied. I has a harducss and durability which yields to no tree in the forest, and all wheelwrights who know th difference, ever give it the preference. It is, in fact, the timber that has given ( lie high character to the elm in general, and should in justice be ranked next to the oak, in the estimation of all those who plant as a source of future profit. It is rejected, because it is of mor unsightly growth than the other; but a proper atten tion lo pruning in their youth, that great desideratum to ail timber trees, and so little attended to, would giv a form and feature very different to their general appearance. Ponfey, one of the best writers of the present day upon trees, is decidedly of opinion, that the carpenter and the nurseryman have confounded and substituted one tree for the other. The writer of the Letter at first alluded to, is of opinion, that ehus growing from old stools are predis- posed to premature decay; and instances his felling some trees in the parish of Burghill, which, though neither lurge nor old, were found internally defeclive and hollow : but I would rather attribute that defect- iveness to euuses more local. There is such an absence of all care manifested towards trees during their infancy, the very period when the eye and the judicious application of the primer's knife ought to he constantly at work, that my surprise is, how we have any good young timber at all ! 1 should venture to pronounce, that those trees at Burghill w ere defective, not from the stools from which they may have sprung, nor a soil uncongeuial to their general habits, but external injuries received, perhaps, twenty years ago— boughs or limbs broken by the wind, by cattle, by the rude and injudicious application of the bill hook or hatchet, indiscriminately wielded by the hand of an ignorant peasant, and the injury not noticed: the consequence of which is, water has been insidiously intruding itself into the heart of the tree, which continues to vegetate ( scarcely grows) until cut down ; and then, when the injury manifests itself, the land that produced the tr has all the odium of having destroyed it! In this county ( Glamorgan), which is in general well wooded, but not so well timbered, we have young oak of the most healthy and beautiful growth," springino I from what are denominated stools, which are nothing more or less than the root of a tree that has been pre* vionsly cut down ;. and nature, faithful in all her opera, tions, has again produced a successor, and would continue to do so ad infinitum. But I must beg to be allowed to say, that, so far from that re- produced tree becoming a subject of premature decay, it wonl eventually prove us fine an ornament to the forest as the patriarchal acorn, which has never been disturbed. In fact, we lend ourselves to the influence of amusing theories, more than the developement of existing facts, by suddenly adopting, and then enforcing, opinions that carry on their very appearance ideas inimical lo, and at variance with, all the established harmonies of nature! I cannot conclude these remarks, without observing, that the state of timber throughout the kingdom, gene- rally speaking, not even excepting the Royal Forests, w here such apparent meansare taken to watch over and protect them, is such as would appal, did they know it, tbe owners of some of the finest domains in it; and there are thousands of trees occupying land at this moment, which will not, twenty years hence, he of as much value to their owners as at this moment.

[ FROM THE LIVERPOOL ALBION ] Interesting- as ii the question of peace or war with Turkey, and interesting as are the rumours of intended changes jn the ministry of this country, there is one question, of a purely local and domestic nature, in- finitely more interesting to the inhabitants of Liverpool, and one which attracts far more of their attention, at the present moment, than the political state of tbe East and the strife among our politicians for office at home. That question is,— Shall all ranks and classes of the inhabitants of this great commercial town allow them- selves to be oppressed by a practical addition to the load of direct taxation which for years they, in common with the empire at have with difficulty borne? " he proceedings of the Board of Taxes, through their urveyor, have spread alarm throughout almost every welling in the town. Go where one will, the princi- pal topic of conversation is the new and intolerable ystem of surcharging which this individual has, iu tbe ischarge of his duty and iu the execution of his nstruclious, we suppose, deemed it proper lo carry into effect against thousands of our fellow- townsmen. The inquisitorial manner in which this Government nspector made his surveys of houses and windows justly exasperated all classes of housekeepers, and filled their breasts- with indignation against a system nder which any functionary dare to obtrude himself nto the very rooms of an Englishman's boasted " Castle," and to put his wife and his daughters almost to the bhish. When, indeed, we consider the exacer bation of feeling which [ he inquisitorial proceedings of the surveyor have produced in the town, we wonder that he has still a whole hide. Many of the surcharges which have been made on houses and windows may, we will admit, be perfectly just and proper, as the law now stands ; but, when it is recollected, that the in- habitants of this town have for years been saddled whir greater weight of direct taxation than most of the principal towns in this county, as, well as in other parts of the kingdom, th* extreme hardship, nay, the positive rnelty of the surcharges which have been made on houses and windows iu Liverpool are evident. The grievance is intolerable. It loudly calls for the prompt interference of the Government, to suspend the enforce- ment of the surcharges which have been made on our fellow- townsmen within the last few months. It may- be said, that these surcharges, if they are illegal, will be quashed on being appealed against before the com- missioners appointed to bear appeals against the as sessed taxes. But is it either just or reasonable, that a man, in the character of an inspector of taxes, should have the power, first to invade the houses of the in habitants in the manner in which they have been invaded ; and then, if the people will not suffer them- selves to be squeezed, like sponges, by a person " drest in a little brief authority," to compel them to dance attendance on a body of commissioners who, we fear, are too often, especially in ordinary times, led by the nose by the Government surveyor? If the Govern- ment, whose servant he is, will not interfere in the business; if the necessities of the Treasury are so great as to dispose its guardians and purveyors to wink at proceedings which, however they exasperate the people, will extract money, in the shape of taxes, out of the pockets of the industrious housekeepers and tradesmen of Liverpool, we trust that our fellow, townsmen, before whom the appvals will be heard, will do their duty manfully and courageously in this jun- ture, and rescue a multitude of sufferers from the sconrgings of an inexorable taxgatherer,. whose per- petual cry. l, ke the cry of the horse leech, is Give, give!" Liverpool is not, we should hope, the only town on which a harpy, iu the shape of a surveyor of taxes, has been let loose by the Board of Taxes. If they have sent their myrmidons into every city, and town, and village in the empire, we shall rejoice ex- ceedingly ; for then the cry against the nuisance of the assessed taxes will become as general throughout he kingdom, as it is at the present moment iu Liver- pool ; tbe tables of Parliament will, at its meeting, be oaded with petitions from all quarters for the repeal of the not more obnoxious than cruel and impolitic taxes on houses and windows; and the Government will be compelled to attend to the voice of the country, legiti- mately expressed through their representatives in the Mouse of Commons. We would recall to Lord Godericb's recollection the excitement which the pro- ceedings of the Board of Taxes caused in the public mind in tbe year 1824 ; and would respectfully inform that nobleman, that the feelings of the inhabitants of Liverpool are more highly excited on the subject of the assessed taxes at the present moment, than were those of their fellow- countrymen on the same subject at the former period. We call upon his lordship to redeem the pledge then given, to make the survey general, with the view of ultimately relieving the country from a portion of the load of direct taxation. But," if he should shrink from carrying such a measure impartially into effect, we protest, in the name of the inhabitants of Liverpool, against their being made, bv means of indiscriminating and shameful surcharges, to pay more than their fair and just proportion of the assessed taxes. We are exceedingly glad, that the Liverpool sur- veyor, not satisfied with his successs in surcharging houses and windows, attacked the trading and mer- cantile establishments of the town. This proceeding was really indiscreet on the pari of the surveyor; and we are surprised that so experienced an officer should have been guilty of such indiscretion. By attacking these establishments, he has thrust his hand into a nest of hornets, and if they do not sting the poor man until he roars and stamps with pain we shall Ire much astonished, lie will not find it so easy to deal with the merchants and traders of Liverpool, us he found it to deal with the tame cits of the ancient city of Bristol. They will remonstrate with his masters on the subject; and, if the latter do not speedily clap an extinguisher on him and the bulk of his preposterous surcharges, we will confess, that the Government is as regardless of the opinion of the people of Liverpool as the surveyor is of our feelings. We copy the following striking remarks on steam navigation from an oration on the progressive state of the present age, pronounced by an American professor of physical science, on a recent occasion :— u If such has been the advancement of the physical sciences, during- the period under review, far more astonishing has been the progress of the arts. Foremost of all, are the mighty labours of steam. Although the steam engine is not an invention of the present century, yet it was reserved for us to witness a greater developement of its powers than had ever been made beforte; and it is probably reserved for ages yet unborn to see these powers fully consummated. It would prove most favourable to our general purpose, to rest on this prolific theme, and trace, thrpugh all its intricacies, the labours of this mighty engine, by the aid of which each individual of our feeble race becomes stronger than Hercules, mightier than Jove; but want of time compels us to confine our attention to its em- ployment in navigation— a part of its labours which is more appropriately the boast of the present generation. " When- we stand near the waters of our great commercial metropolis, and see its multitude of steam- boats, ever on the wing, we do not think for the moment that this charming spectacle was not only never seen by our fathers, but was unknown to the present generation twenty years ago. The first American steam- bout was launched at New Departure of the Allied Ambassadors from Constantinople. At length ( says the Courier of Thursday) we are enabled to announce, officially, the event, for which we have all aloug prepared our readers. — Despatches were, last night, received at the Foreign Office, communicating the important, though certainly not unexpected, information, of the departure of the Allied Ambassadors from Constantinople, on the 8th ult.— Mr. Stratford Canning proceeded, in the first instance, to Smyrna, and from thence he would go to Corfu.— M. de llibeaupierre had gone to Odessa.— We have not heard the precise destination of General Guilleminot; probably, however, the same as Mr. Stratford Canuing.— No intelligence has been received by Government, either from Constanti- nople, Vienna, or Paris, of the destruction of the Greek fleet at Scio.— Thus, then, the crisis has arrived. We are not yet in possession of data, upon which to reason as to the immediate or remote results of this position of affairs. An anxious eye will be turned now to the movements on the Pruth.— Courier.

CAMBRIDGE ; DEC. 24-— We have to regret the death of Professor Wood ho use, Plumian Professor of Mathematics iu this University; he died on Sunday last, after an illness of four months; he was of Caius College ; he proceeded to his Bachelor of Arts' degree in the year 1795, and was the Senio? Wrangler and first Smith's Prizeman of that year. IN the year 18* 20 he was elected Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, and on the death of Professor Vince, he succeeded to the Plumian Professorship. He was the author of a system of astronomy. He was appointed by the University in 18* 24 to conduct the observatory then newly erected ; which situation is also vacant by his death. ABUSES IN TRADE.-- It is enough to shock and disgust any man of humanity to see how rapidly many adventurers become opulent by the tricks of trade, while the honest shopkeeper declines in proportion, and may be obliged to undergo the revolting alternative of the Gazette after years of labour. There are hundreds of instances: we could name hundreds. Take one instance of the success of the former. A shopman to a respectable house ( his services over- valued at £ 25 a- year), finding that the town presented a rich harvest for empirics of all sorts, contrived to open a house, and advertised great varieties of trash for peremptory sale. He had the ingenuity to address himself to the compassion of the public in well- penned articles, calling upon those who felt for the poor to purchase cheap flannels or blankets for their service, at his house, which was supplied with large quantities, to be disposed of at the lowest possible price, in consideration of the approaching severity of winter. This caught the psalm singers, who considered the advertiser's heart as " touched with pity," and flew otF to the congenial soul with their ready mouey. With seven shillings' worth of print he contrived to snare hundreds, and there " was not a single deception amongst all we have exposed, that was not resorted to in the immense business which his piety and tender- heartedness attracted to the shop. Well, he prospered ; in 10 years he retired with a large fortune, and he now drives in the parks in his carriage, or rides a la mil it air e ; while his old master, after a laborious but honest exertion of more than 30 years, either walks, or jolts on the top of a stage to town, from Fulham, to pursue the calling which has not yet enabled him to appear in a vehicle of his own. And yet the retired gentleman actually did not understand his own cash- book, and was so ignorant of the business in which he professed to embark, as to be most easily imposed upon himself; for it was only necessary to ask. him three times as much for an article as it was worth to obtain his custom at a good profit, it being a principle with him to judge of the exorbitant appetite of others by his own, and to offer no more than one- third of a demand under any circumstances.— Times. COTTON MANUFACTORIES OF THE UNITED STATES.— it would appear from a variety of accounts that the manufacturing of cotton goods in the United States is making rapid strides. We should not be surprised, if in a quarter of a century, the United States should not only be independent of us, so far as cotton goods are concerned, but also if the United States became a great exporter of cotton goods, even to the United Kingdom itself. That part of the world is the seat for cotton iu the raw state, and, therefore, why should it not be the country for cotton goods? Already the United States' people beat us in coarse cotton, and this is owing to the very cheap rate at which they can be manufactured, being the scat for the production of the raw cotton, and by means of machinery, which we have heard, is almost equal, if not quite equal, to our own machinery. Again, we have been informed that the United States' people do not, as yet, make their goods merely to please the eye— the contrary is the fact in England ; for, by the aid of the bleacher, the cotton goods of England are made to look greatly better than they are wheu they come to be worn, though our bleachers, by means of vitriol, contrive to burn from the cloth the greater part of its ex- cellence before the wearer uses it. We have heard that the South Americans have long since found out the inferior nature of our coarse cotton goods in comparison with the superior quality of the United States' coarse cotton goods. But thus it is in the infancy of all trades. At first people are honest, in order to force a market — that market got hold of, and they become rich, dis- honesty, and a desire to accumulate large fortunes, succeed— other nations find out the change from honesty to dishonesty, reject the knavish goods, and take to the goods of other nations not yet reudcred dishonest by prosperity. Morning Hera Id. THE RETORT COURTEOUS.— One day last week a beggar, dressed in a sailor's jacket, solicited alms at the ifyot of Westminster- bridge, and, among many others, was extremely importunate to a yvang Bar- rister, who was hastening to the Courts of La enveloped iu a Spanish cloak. The pretended sailor very pathetically implored assistance— u he had under, gone the most dreadful hardships hy sea and land ; had been thrice severely wounded; but now, unfortu- nately, having lost a limb, he was shut out from Greenwich Hospital."— The Lawyer gave him three, pence, but overheard him say to one of the watermen plying at the stairs, " Jack, I've done the cull out of thrums.''''— Returning in the afternoon without his cloak, the Barrister was again importuned by the same story. Resolving to cry quits with him, he said he had mvhalf- pence, but if the sailor had threepence he would give him a tilbury.— 11 Thank your honour kindly," said the solicitor; " I've just had threepence given me;" at the same time handing over the browns ; which the Barrister quietly put in his pocket, and walked off, saying, " Jack, Vve done the cull out of thrums." GENEROSITY OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. — What will those who call us a money- making craft think, when we remind Ihem that vve are the only class of people in the island who work on a large scale for nothing? As physicians or surgeons of medical cha- rities, vve toil for years in the service of the sick poor, with no pecuniary remuneration, and no other selfish objects than the desire of knowledge, and the remote piospect that the connexions we form by our attend ance on the poor, may ultimately lead fo employment among the rich. Selfishness, more or less in degree, and more or less refined, mingles with the motives of all human actions. When at length this remote pro- spect is realised, and the extent of lucrative practice compels the physician or surgeon to retire from his medical charities, even then, through the rest of his life, down to old age, not a day passes in which calls are not made on him for gi at nitons advice— and these calls are never made in vain. Where is the trade or 1 profession in which there is any thing similar to this ? Will the merchant give bis goods for nothing? Will the lawyer conduct a cause for nothing ? Will tbe clergyman- marry or bury for nothing? No: the merchant nvust live lus price— the lawyer must have his fees— even the church must have its dues— none but the medical man stirs without his reward. The tax of gratuitous exertion levied on the medical pro- fession has lasted so long, and is so great, that, like other familiar things, people cease lo be sensible of it. — London Medical Gazette, The meetings of the Catholics in Dublin are so numerous, and whatever the names by which those who call them pretend to distinguish them, so similar, that their sameness wearies, and if read they leave no impression on the mind. On Monday, however, one of these exhibitions took place, which was of a more marked character.— We consider the speakers to have done themselves no discredit on this occasion. We respect frankness, even iu an enemy, and it cer- tainly appears to us that Mr. Shi el and Mr. Lawless spoke what they really meant, or at least something more like their true meaning, than we are accustomed to hear from them. 44 If," says the former gentle- man, 44 the people are so systematically organised, that al a signal of peace they immediately fall into their ranks, and present almost an infinite army of supplicants, what are you to expect if we • • • • - what shall I say? " The blanks are left by the Freeman1 s Journal. We, of course, cannot fill them up; but no doubt something very formidable was omitted. We, however, take it for granted, that he did not say, 44 What, if we are so powerful when loyal, what are you to expect if we hoist the standard of rebellion, bravely resolved to butcher all the Pro- testants ?" His subsequent appeal to his fellow, countrymen, by the name of 44 slaves," to remember 44 that tin y are seven millions," to know their own strength," and to 44 call for liberty together," is sufficiently intelligible. Mr. Lawless, however, rather diTiers from Mr. Shiel. He says— * k That Gentleman forgets that Ireland is a Province, and that the population of seven millions is like so many millions in Jamaica. Does he not know that all the political influence drawn fioni numbers is destroyed by that damned and suicidal measure, the Union ; that, by lb at measure, the force — the physical force— the numbers— which commanded respect ami. attention within the last forty years, is now prostrated and emas- culated by the desperate measure of the Union." He would, therefore, do away with Catholic dis- tinctions to gain accomplices in the friends of liberty in England. His words are— I would, were it in my power, change the name of the Catholic Association, strip it of all appearance of Sectarianism, bii) d it up at once with all denominations, encourage all by name as well as substance to join us, and then constitute a body of fourteen millions of Bri- tons, rather than seven millions of Irishmen. ( Loud cheers.) This is the mode I would recommend of meet- ing the enemies of Ireland." BRUCE AND THE SPIDER,— It was probably about this time that an incident took place, which, although it rests only in the families of the name of Bruce, is rendered probable by the manners of the times. After receiving the last unpleasing intelligence from Scotland, Bruce was lying one morning on his wretched bed, aud deliberating with himself whether he had not better resign all thoughts of again attempt- ing to make good his right lo theScottish crown, and dismissing his followers, transport himself and his brothers to the Holy Land, and spend lli'e rest of his life in fighting against the Saraccns; by which h> thought, perhaps, he might deserve the forgiveness of Heaven for the great sin of stabbing Cornyu iu the church at Dumfries, Bui then, on the other hand, he thought it would be both criminal aud cowardly to give up his attempts to restore freedom to Scotland, while there yet remained the least chance of his being successful in au undertaking, which, rightly considered, was much more his duty than to drive the infidels out of Palestine, though the superstition of his age might think otherwise. While he was divided betwixt these reflectmns, and doubtful of what he should do, Bruce was looking upward to the roof of the cabin in which he lay, and his eye was attracted by a spider, which, hanging al the end of a long thread of his own spiu ning, was endeavouring, as is the fashion of ihu creature, to swing himself from oue beam in the roo to another, for the purpose of fixing the line ou which he meant lo stretch his web. The iuseet made ihe attempt again and again without success ; and at length Bruce counted that it bad tried to carry its point six times, and been as often unable to do so. It came iuto his head that he had himself fought just six battles against the English and her allies, and I bat the poor persevering spider was exactly in the same situa- tion with himself having made as many trials, and been as often disappointed in what it aimed at. 44 Now," thought Bruce, 44 as I have no means of knowing what is best to be done, I will be guided by the luck which shall attend this spider. If the insect shall make another effort to fix its thread, and shall be successful, I will venture a seventh time to try my fortune iu Scotland; but if the spider shall fail, 1 will go to the wars in Palestine, and never return to my native couulry again." While Bruce was forming this resolution, the spider made another exertion with all the force it could muster, and fairly succeeded iu fastening its thread on the beam which it had so often sin attempted to reach. Bruce seeing the success of the spider, resolved to try his own fortune; and as he never before gained a victory, s<> he never after wards sustained any considerable check or defeat. 1 have often met with people of the name of Biuce, so completely persuaded of the truth of this story, that they would not ou any account kill a spider, because it was, such au insect which had shown ihe example of perseverance, and given a signal of good luck, to their great namesake.— Sir Walter Scoffs Tales of a Grandfather. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Monday, Miss Scott, a young lady of great personal attractions, the daughter of a Wesl- ludia merchant, deceased, re- covered £ 300 damages from a genlleman of the uame of Wickeuden, the Captain of a merchant vessel, for breach of promise of marriage. The age of the lady is 23; that of the gentleman, 40. Four metropolitan cracksmen, practising on " the Winter Circuit," have been apprehended at Liverpool for professional malversations— two portmanteaus full uf swag, sent by them, have been traced to London^ and secured. ADVANTAGES OF RAIL- WAYS.— It seems as if the noble work were now to be crowned by the substitution of level rail- ways for many of the common roads and canals. Several rail- ways of considerable extent have already been established, and although they and the carrriages upon them are far from having the perfection which philosophy 9ays they will admit, the results have been very* satisfactory. If we suppose the progress to continue, aud the price of transporting things and persons to be reduced by them to a fourth of the present charge— and in many cases it may be much less— and if we suppose the time of journeying with safety also reduced in some considerable degree, of which there can be as little doubt— the general adoption of them would eflect an extra- ordinary revolution and improvement in the state of society. Without in reality changing the distances of places, it would in effect bring alt nearer to each other, and would give to every part of the kingdom the conveniences of town and country, of sea- coast and of highland district. A man, wherever residing, might consider himself virtually near to any other part, for at the expense of the time and money which he now pays to go a short distance, he might go a long oue. The over- crowded and unhealthy parts of towns would scatter their inhabitants into the country ; for the man of business would be as quickly and cheaply at his post from several miles off, as he is now from an adjoining street. The present heavy charges for bringing produce to market from great distances being nearly saved, the buyer every where would purchase cheaper, and the producer would be better remunerated. In a word, sueh a change would arise as if the whole of Britain had beei* compressed by magic into a circle of a few miles in diameter, yet without any part Iosi » g aught of its magnitude or beauties. All this may appear visionary : but it is less so than it would have been^ seventy years ago, to anticipate what has now come to pass, that the common time for travelling from London to Edinburgh would be forty- six hours. At the opening of the mil- road near Darlington, in 1825, a traiu of loaded carriages was dragged by one little steam- engine, a distance of twenty- tive miles within two hours; and ill some parts of the journey the speed was more than, twenty miles an hour. The whole load was equal to a regiment of soldiers, and the coal expended was under the value of a crown. An island with such roads would be au impregnable fortress ; for iu less time than an enemy would require to dis~ embark on any part of the coast, the forces of the country might be concentrated to defend it.— Arnofs Elements of Natural Philosophy. COMPARATIVE TABLE. At the request of several of our friends, we have, for the accommodation of Agriculturists, Maltster and Corn- Dealers, compiled the following Table, by which is shewn the value of a Bushel of Wheat, Barley, Malt, or Oats, sold by any of the Customary Measures in use in this District of the Kingdom, asr. compared with the value of such Grain sold by the Imperial Bushel or Imperial Quarter ; and it will also at once shew the relative value of any Grain in the different Markets, by comparing the prices in the respective columns.— In making the calculations for this Table, those fractions only were excluded which did not amount to one farthing ; and as the proportions are given as compared with every vari- ation of 2d. in the Shrewsbury customary bushel, from 2*. up to 12 s. inclusive, it will be found sujfi- iently copious for every practical purpose. Imposture Detected.— A person representing himself as a Scottish clergyman, made application a few days since, to the Rev. G. Redford, of Worcester, and en- deavoured, by deceptive documents, to obtain money for a charitable object. He had collected various sums of mouey in Dublin, Liverpool, & c. under the assumed name of the Rev. J. Wilson, of Montrose; and in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, aud various other places in Rngland, under his real name, which is Alexander Mitchell. Upon detection, he was com- mitted to prison; but not having succeeded in obtaining any money, he could not be prosecuted for a fraud, and was liberated next day. He left in the uds of Mr. Redford, the documents by which he defrauded the public, and an authenticated confession of his guilt, with full authority to publish the same. It is clearly ascertained that ihe imposlor was never acknowledged as a Clergyman by any denomination of Christians whatever, but merely assumed that desig- nation for the purpose of imposing upon the public. A window tax collector, a man of convivial habits, was pressiug a friend of his, after dinner, lo fill his glass ; 44 1 - have filled," said the Other ; 44 Ay," replied the tax- man 44 not full." 44 Well," said his friend, 44 you are too strict in your office; cannot even a sky- light escape you ?" Miss Helen Maria Willims.— The French Journals announce the death of Ibis well known authoress. She had resided in Paris since the year 1790. There is at present in the possession of an ingenious lady in Clontarf ( Ireland), a crimson silk shawl, con taining 9880 threads in ihe warp, 4300 shoots, or 8600 threads in the weft, 5- 4lbs square; weight, two ounces; produced from worms of her own rearing; reeled in Ihe raw by herself.
