HOUSE OF LORDS— THURSDAY. Lord STANHOPE gave notice, that h*> would move for returns of the foreign corn imported since last year.. Lord Cr rFDBN asked, whether it was the intention of ministers to bring" in a modified Roman Catholic email eipaiion bill, according' to a report which had been circulated.— The Duke of WELLINGTON replied at once in the negative. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. On the bringing up of ilie Report- on the Address, in reply to the Speech ' from the Throne, Mr, BROWNLOW made a very long speech, complain, ingofthe use, in the Rova! Message, of the phrase " untoward/' as applied to the conflict at Navariii ; and of the omission of all special notice^ of Ireland.— Lord MORPETH made the same complaint in fewer ivords.— Sir GEORGE WARUFNOER bore testimony to the merits of Sir Ed ward Codrington. — Mr. HOBHOUSK inquired, whether it was intended to move a vote of thanks to that gallant officer? If thp Ministers of the Crown did not move it, he pledged himself to bring forward a motion upon the subject on the 14th inst.-— Mr. DUNCOMBB thought the battle a very untoward1' and unfortunate event though he heartily concurred' in all that could be said in praise of Sir Edward Cod- ringtnu. Mr. S. RICE complained of the omission of any notice of Ireland. He observed that the ' Association Act, which had excited so much discussion in 1825, and had proved utterly inoperative, would expire this Session ; and expressed a confident hope that Ministers would not venture to renew it. He also professed to expect that the new cabinet would prosecute the system of Free Trade, and introduce a proper Com Prill. Lord HALMERSTON explained that it was not intended to move a vote of thanks to Sir E. Codrington ; because it was not usual to vole thanks to those who fought against slates, with which we were not at war. lie softened this explanation, however, by the most unqua- lified approbation of Sir Edward Codrington's conduct. He then farther explained that it was not the practice to allude particularly to any part of his Majesty's dominions, except where attention was naturally drawn to it by some peculiar circumstance, which happily was not the case with Ireland at present. With re- spect to the Roman Catholic question, upon which the member for Armagh had dwelt at great length, and to which the member for Limerick had alluded, Lo'rd Palmerston remarked, that its best chance of success was from a strict neutrality on the part of the Cabinet, which might be fairly expected for it under the present Ministers ; and as to practical indulgence, he added, the Roman Catholics had the he^ pledge for it in the continuance in office of Mr. Lamb, who during his short administration, had been successful in conciliating the respect and goodwill of all parties, Mr. iloBHOCSE cited the thanks voted to Sir Arthur Wellesrey for his victory over the Danes at Copenhagen in 1805., we riot being then at war with Denmark, as u precedent in- favour of his intended motion for a voie of I hanks. to Sir E. . Codrington, SI-.- V5. RIDLEY thought the affair at Navarin ah £ t untoward one." He professed to anticipate no evil from iiie present Ministry, and hinted a hope that the Duke of Wellington might be converted to the Roman Catholic side, as Mr. Hrownlow had been. Lord NORMANBY defended the attack at. Navarin ; and spoke strongly in favour of the Roman Catholic question. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR lamented the " untoward con- flict" in question. Sir FRANCIS. BTRBBTT spoke in very warm terms of the glory of the achievement ; and took the same view of the omission of any notice of Ireland with Mr. Brown low, Mr. S. Rice, & c. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD followed in pretty much the same line of argument taken by Lord Palmerstoii ; assuring, the friends of the Roman Catholics, that in the sincere, generous, straight- forward temper of the new Prime Minister they bird full assurance for a candid treatment of their claims. The Report was then brought up and agreed to. Lord JOHN RUSSEL moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the disfranchisement of the. borough of Penryn, and the transfer of the right of election, now possessed liy that borough, to the town of Manchester. After a few words from Messrs. FERGUSON and MANNING, leave was granted. Mr. TENNYSON moved for leave to bring rn a similar Rill for the disfranchisement of East Retford. — Mr. W. RANKES defended' the accused borough at some length ; leave was, however, granted, and the Bill read a first time. After some returns of a miscellane » ous description had been moved for, the House ad- journed. HOUSE OF LORDS — FRIDA V. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY called the attention or their lordships lo the following resolution passed at a late meeting of the Roman Catholic Association : — " Resolved,— That we feel it a duty we owe to the lt Irish people to declare, that we shall ' consider every " Irish member of parliament an enemy to the freedom, " peace, and happiness of Ireland, who w ill support, * 4 either directly or indirectly, any administration of " which the Duke of Wellington, or any individual professing his principles, is the head or contriver; " and we call on all counties, cities, towns, and pa- tl rishes in Ireland, to act upon the spirit of this w resolution." This resolution, Lord LONDONDERRY said, though impotent with respect to the illustrious individual against whom it was directed, could not fail to Have an injurious effect in Ireland. For himself, he declared that any approach to intimidation would alienate him as it would alienate « very rational friend of the Roman Catholic Question. Lord CLIFDEN offered 27 years of disappointment in excuse for the intemperance of the Roman Catholics, and contended that the question of their claims was a great national question, which it was unjust to decide with reference lo the temper of the parties- concerned. PRIVATE BILLS.— It w as resolved by the House of Commons on Thursday, that no Petition for any Private Bill should be received after Friday, the 15th of February ; that no Private Bill should be read a first time after Monday, March 17; and that no Report of suell Private Bill should be received after Monday, the Oth of May.- postsc LOS DON, Monday Night, Feb. 4, 1828.

SHREWSBURY, FEB. 1, 1828. LINEN & WOOLLEN DRAPERY, HOSIERY, Carpet and Furniture Warehouse, MARBOL- HEAD. LONDON— SATUROAY. The German papers which arrived this morning- state that the general opinion in Germany is, that' peace will still be maintained. A letter from Toplifz says, that Austria and England are engaged in active negociation for the preservation of peace, and it is even reported that Prince Metteruich has resolved to proceed to Paris and London. The Gazette dc France of yesterday's date, received this morning-, states that one of the French Ministers, M. de Chabiol, is about to resign. 1 he private letters assert that a change of Ministry will be the result. Loid F. L. Gower succeeds the Hou. Mr. Stanley as under Colonial Secretary. Sir Henry Hardinge returns to the Ordnance Department, Mr. Denison does not proceed to India, but will, • with Sir G. Clerk, resume his seat at the Admiralty Board. It is stated that Lord Ashley, eldest son of the Earl of Shaftesbury, will be oqe of the Commissioners for the affairs, of India. The Marquis of Graham, it is understood, will be another.— Sir George Clerk returns to the Admiralty as one of the Council. The Duke of Arg- yle has resigned the Great Seal of Scotland, which has been conferred upon the Duke of Gordon. Lord Stowell retires from the head of the Admiralty Court, and is to. be succeeded by Sir C. Robinson. Dr. Jentier succeeds Sir Christopher as King's Advocate. [ From the Morning Chronicle of Tuesday, Feb. 5.] The King has enjoyed improved health during the last eight or ten days, and the weakness in his knees has nearly left him. His Majesty was pre- viously obliged to repose during the greater part of the day upoh his couch in the room contiguous to his bed- chamber, where nearly all the audiences to the Duke of Wellington, whilst the new Adminis- tration was concocting, were given. The King is now enabled to dine with his domestic circle, and such other Noble guests as are specially invited. The Marquess of Anglesea is nearly recovered from his late s « ' Vfie indisposition. The Noble Marquess paid a visit to his Majesty, at the Royal Lodge, on Thursday, where he was most graciously received. Arrangements are now in active preparation for the departure of the Marquess for Ireland, where ail is in readiness at the Castle for his arrival. We understand that not only the French but also the Russian Ambassador have gone to Corfu, to join Mr. Stratford Canning; and that Ibrahim Pacha's troops are to be safely conveyed from the Morea to Egypt. We trust, therefore, that we may now consider all ground for apprehension of war in the East as at an end. We do not learn that there has been manifested on the part of Russia any disposi- tion to attack Tut key without the consent of England and France. ft is now certain that Mr. Basil Montagu has been appointed a Welsh Judge. HOUSE OF LORDS— MONDAY. THE ADDRESS. The Marquis of CONYNGHAM ( the Lord Steward of his Majesty's Household) brought down his - Majesty's Answer to their Lordship's Address, which was read as follows :— " MY LORDS— I have received with great satisfac- tion your loyal and dutiful Address, and I rely with entire confidence on your attachment to my Person and Government, and on your zealous co. operation in every measure calculated to promote the welfare of my . subjects and maintain the honour and welfare of the country ,71 On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, his Majesty's Answer was ordered to be entered on their Lordship's Journals. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord PALMERSTON appeared at the Bar with the King's Auswer to the Address, similar to that read in the House of Lords. Several Petitions, some praying for Catholic Emancipation, otheis for a Repeal of the Corpora- tion and Test Acts, were presented. Mr. FYLER gave notice that, on the 19th of this mouth, he should move for leave to bring iu a Bill to repeal so much of an Act passed last Session as inflicted any fine or penalty for wearing ribands at Elections. The Hon. Gentleman then presented a Petition from the Maltsters of the City of Coventry, com- plaining of the vexatious regulations under which they carried on their trade, and the enormous penal ties to which they were liable On the Petitioners no less than 104 penalties had been levied for the conversion of barley into malt, amounting altogether lo the sum of £ 13,000 ; yet they were of opinion that it would be more productive to the revenue, and undoubtedly more convenient and advantageous to the trade, if heavy penalties were in all cases sub- stituted for the petty and vexatious regulations at present in force. The Petition was then read. It represented it as wholly impossible to carry on the Malt Trade under the restrictions and penalties of the Act of last Session. On the motion ef Lord Palmerston for the House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr. LIBDELL and Sir JOSEPH YOUKE, although they objected to the formation of the New Ministry* expressed the. highest admiration of the known energies and unrivalled talents of the Duke of Wellington— Sir Joint SEBRIGHT said he highly approved of the appointment of the Duke of Wel- lington to the situation of Premier. [ The observations of Mr. Liddell and Sir J Sebright, expressing their high opinion of the decision and supeiior talents of the Duke of Wellington, were re- ceived with loud cheers by the House ] A Bill for relieving Roman Catholics from the payment of double fund- tax was brought in and read a first time. The SHROPSHIRE HOUNDS met at Ross Hall, with a large field of sportsmen well- mounted, on Monday, the 28th of January. They found a fox at, Bick! ey Wood : he went off for Preston House, and, leaving the gorse covert on the left, ran along the meadows by the Severn to near Rowtou Castle; being head- ed, he returned nearly the same way to The Isle, where he was killed.—- Sir E. Smythe then ordered the huntsman to draw Woodcote: in a small covert near it they found a fox, which had difficulty in escaping; they ran him very fast, and, leaving Onslow on the left, he went straight to Shelton Rough, from thence by Ross Hall to Montford Bridge, where he crossed the river and escaped. Oa Wednesday, the 30th, the Shropshire Hounds met at Acton Burnell, where there was a large party of young sportsmen from Willey. A good fox was soon found at Stevens Hill: he went away for Wen lock Edge, over a very severe country for horses, and then returned to Cound ; from thence over the fine grass grounds by the Severn side to Atcham Bridge, where the hounds were stopped, after two hours and thirty miuut s hard running.— The distress among the horses was very severe, and several are dead. On Saturday, the 2d of February, the Shropshire Hounds met at Wytheford Wood, where about thirty horsemen were present.— A fox was soon found, and he went away for Ercall Park, but returned by Wytheford House to the Wood.— The hounds pressed him so hard that he was obliged to break again over Ercall Park, by Ercall Mill,, through, the Rough Marls, away over the Cot wall fields to the Canal, the hounds close at him; at tliisr t^^' Vut few horsemen were going the pace : continuing the same through Withington Wood, over the Tern river, and straight away for the Wrekiu by Overley Hill, crossing the Turnpike Road, they ran in to him just before he reached the coverts.— A finer run was never seen in Shropshire.— Mr. John Lyster, Mr. St. John Charlton, Mr. Lloyd, of'Aston, Mr. Jukes, of Cotwall, with the huntsman and whipper- in, had the good fortune to get a start with the hounds— were with them during the run- r- aod when the fox was killed. Mr. R. N. Hill, jun. and Mr. Walford, jun. joined the hounds at Withington. — The worthy master of the hounds, Sir E. Smythe, and Mr. Corbet, of Snndorne, arrived in time to see the fox given to the hounds. Morfe ( Count// of Salop J Coursing Meeting.

The Marquis Wellesley took his seat on Tuesday evening in the House of Lords. The Noble Lord looked as well as he appeared almost 20 years back. — It is rather remarkable that there are now four brothers of the Wellesley family iu the House of Peers. Both the situations of Coroner for this city are now vacant; one as we lately stated by the departure of Mr. N. Mence, the other by the resignation of Mr. Wakeman. The latter gentleman signified his intention of relinquishing: the office to the Mayor aud Magistrates at the Guildhall on Monday last, assigning as his reason for doing so, the unpleasant duties which attach to such appointment.

Post 8vo A Petition, of which the following; is a copy, is now in course of signature: To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Par- liament assembled. The humble Petition of the undersigned Maltsters residing at Shrewsbury and in its Vicinity, Sheu- eth, That your Petitioners, iri the prosecution of their business as Maltsters, have been subjected to many oppressive re » t< la tionsand unnecessary restrictions, by Various clauses contained in the Act. parsed in " the 7th and 8th years of the rei^ n of His Most Gracious IVfajesty King- George the Fourth, chap. .52, entitled " An Ac. t to consolidate and amend certain laws relatirig'to ttie ' Revenue of Excise on Malt, made in the United Kingdom; and for amending the laws relating to Brewers in Ireland, and to the allowance in respect of the Malt Duty on Spirits made in Scot/ and and Ireland from Malt only;" which Act commenced from and after the tenth day of October now last past, and wherein are enacted certain Pains and Penalties to the manifest injury of the Malting Trade in general. . The Sections to which your Petitioners humbly beg leave o call the attention of your Honourable Monse are the 32d, 35th, 42d, 43d, 47th, 48' t, h,. ar\ d 52d of the above recited Act. The 32d section compels th& Maltsters from the first day of March to the first day of. December, to keep their corn in the couch frame for the space of twenty- six hours, and at. any other time of the year than as aforesaid thirty hours, after the same, shall have been emptied from t:. e cistern.--- This regulation your Petitioners respectfully affirm to be Very injurious to the grain, in consequence of it continuing so long in the same state, and they humbly pray that they may not be compelled to keep their grain in the frame tor a longer space of time than tweuty- four hours. The 35th section ( re- priacted from the 42d GPO. ILL, chap. 38, sec. 30), prohibits the Maltsters from watering or sprinkling their corn or grain on the floor, till the full end and expiration of twelve clear doys after the same shall have been emptied from the cistern.— Your Peti- tioners beg leave to remark, that as the barley grown in that part of the Kingdom where they reside cannot be malted on the same system as that adopted in Hertford- shire and the Southern Counties of England, they have ever since its first imposition found this a most grievous re- striction, by complying with which their Malt is much injured in quality without there being any additional protection afforded to the Revenue.-— They therefore humbly pray that the period for watering or sprinkling may be reduced to ten da> s, which would materially, re- lieve the trdde from serious loss, whilst the Agriculturist would be greatly benefitted, because much barley that under the'fcxisting restrictions cannot be used for Malting purposes would then be purchased by the Maltster, more especially after an unfavourable harvest. The 42d section regulates the charging of duty in the frame, and grants an allowance of one fifth part of the whole quantity of the grain. so found by such gauge; and from the time, the couch is thrown from the frame, and until the expiration of ninety six hours after the com or grain shall have been emptied from the cistern, one- third part only of the whole quantity is allowed instead of one- half as formerly. Your Petitioners here beg leave to statel; heir full con viction, that in mild weather, when vegetation is rapid, a great part of the barley then in operatiou will be subject to floor charges without the slightest suspicion of fraud attaching to the Maltster. And also by the 43d section it is subject to a further charge, inasmuch as when taken or thrown from the kiln, after an allowance of twelve per centum for the commings or roots is deducted, the excess is charged. And by the 52d section it is carried still further; for, after the tenth day of October in every year, the Maltster is compelled to place his stock in such form as the Excise Officer can gauge the same, and the quantity thus found in stock, and the quantities entered in the Certificates and daily entry books, are to be added to gether and compared with the quantity charged with duty in the former surveys; and by the 42d and 43d sections all excess that may be found by such survey shall be charged with a further duty of 2s. 7d. per bushel in ad dition to the former charge, although such increase arjses in a great measure from storing the Malt in the garners, and most certainly not from any fraudulent, practice whatever..— And your Petitioners humbly conceive that the additional duty hereby charged is in direct opposition to the pnuciple on which, by the 42d section of this Act, an allowance of 18 per cent, is made on the increase caused by fire inuPorter Malt. " By the-, 47th section, the Maltster is compelled to send a Oertifio^ s^' ith every quantity of Malt exceeding four bushels,, and to make a corresponding entry in his Certifi cate- BookV And by the 48th section, the Maltster shall enter dailv/ ih a book provided for that purpose, the total quantity of Malt sent out by him in quantities not exceed ing four bushels at one time.-- Your Petitioners humbly suggest, that the above Regulations are not calculated to prevent frauds, but are useless and harassing to the Maltster. Your Petitioners, therefore, beg leave further to state, that the said Act taken altogether is highly detrimental and injuii ou's to the Malting Trade, and that your humble Petitioners must, in a great measure, sacrifice a large part of their property in carrying on their business under the said Act, because it can be carried on only by speculation, as the amount of Duty to be paid must be unknown to them until the whole of their Stock is disposed of. Your Petitioners, in conclusion, beg leave, with due sub mission to your Honourable House, to suggest, iu lieu of the regulations imposed by the said Act, a mode of charging the Duty to be paid by the Maltster equally efficacious as regards the Kevenue, more simple in its details, and far less obnoxious to the liberty of the subject; that is. to charge the Duty on the Barley, guarded by correct regulations for compare- gauges through the whole process of Malting, instead of on the Malt in Stock. This was clearly the principle on which what is now termed the Malt- Duty was first imposed, and was dis- tinctly recognized by the Act 3d Geo. IV. Chap. 18, Sec. 2, when an allowance of Duty was made on the Stocks of Malt then on hand. The adoption of this principle, by releasing the Maltster from the injurious restrictions to which he is now subjected, would leave him to his own discretion in the management of his own business- - a privilege which other manufacturers enjoy, and would also afford him an opportunity To he serious. When we think of Lord Cleveland's possessions, and the stake he holds in life; when we look, I say, at his rank aud station, and then recollect that he has g- one through all the labour iu the field, and a great part of that in the kennel, which is attached to the situation of huntsman to so larye a pack of fox- hounds as his own, for 44 thirty- eight seasons uninterruptedly, and with high reputation to himself, and satisfaction to the sportsmen who hunted with him when we consider also the great personal hazard to which lie must have of necessity been ex- posed in this long servitude to his bounds; we can scarcely reconcile ourselves to the fact. But so it is; and although it is difficult to: make parallels of men who shine in the same sphere, 1 have good reason to believe his Lordship is as scientific in his calling as any other huntsman of his day. To appreciate a man's merits we must look to his works; and I assert, without fear of contradiction, that at the present moment there is as fine, and indeed as grand a kennel of fox- hounds at Rabv Castle, as any reasonable man would either wish for or expect. True it is, a pleasing recreation is no task. The ministering passion stirs us up, and excites us to deeds we should otherwise shrink from Such is the case here. The Marquis of Cleveland is passionately fond of hunting, and, every thing appertaining to 44 the noble science;" so that he rarely feels fatigue in the pursuit. Even in his dress we see how he honours fox hunting. His straight- cut coat and leathern belt bespeak the huntsman as clearly as Ovid says the air and habit of Germanicus bespoke the orator : — " Ere yet he speaks, the orator is seen. In all the elegance of garb and mien !" I was going to observe— Were the Marquis of Cleveland an illiterate man, with only a second- rate understanding — something about the cut of the Squire Westerns of their day; had nature been less sparing of her endowments, all this would be far less remark- able than it now appears ; but the contrary is the real hiCt. His Lordship is not only a man of very consider able natural talent, hut of highly cultivated acquire- ments; an adept in almost all languages ; and pos- sessing perhaps what, in the lingo of the world, is called, as good a head as any riiati in England or any other country can boast of. He has travelled a great deal, aud now spends his summers on the Continent; has a turn for the polite arts, as well as the lesser elegances of life, and never forgets what he hears or sees. If, then, we combine these several advantages with his tfrcat knowledge of the world, we may safely conclude that he has never gone a hunting, like Gallus of old, from the'want of something better to amuse himself with. Exclusive of all this, he looks most minutely into his private affairs, , and business may be said to be the pastime of his leisure hours. Now were I to he asked for ah epitome of the Marquis of Cleveland's character, I should put it into a very small compass. I should apply to him the two remarkable words that signalized a conspicuous one of antiquity, and say he is a man, 44 omnium horaruui," — 14 a man of all hours ;" aud that is not say ing much f>; r him ; but in a more enlarged sense, these words imply a rare assemblage of qualities of the useful and agreeable kind, which are not often found in one and the same person ; for, whether as a man of business or of pleasure ; in the dining room or the drawing room; in the morning or evening ; with pen and ink and accounts; in the field or in his kennel; when finding his fox, or when killing him ; be is equally at home; and, to climax all, as I have before said, one of the best bred men in existence. Now when I pronounce the Marquis of Cleveland to be a well bred man; it may be said, of course he is. I may be told that all men of his rank in life are well bred and polite; but this my experience denies. True it is, the maxims of the Schools will never make a gentleman, and true politeness can only be learnt in the company of the polite; but many can never catch it even ihere. Admitting, however, good manners to be a science, the power of pleasing must be conferred by Nature; for that can neither be delivered by irecept, nor acquired by art. Here, however, my Soble host is conspicuous, for he has a rich store of anecdote, and they gain much by his manner of relating them. Being a perfect master then, as I said before, of the savoir faire^ it is almost needless to add he is a very agreeable companion. to exert his judgment for his own and the public benefit. Your Petitioners having thus stated to your Honourable House the specific grievance's to which they are subjected by the said Act, pray that your Honourable House would be pleased, in your wisdom and goodness, to Alter, Amend, or Repeal the same.

Cleveland — like Nebuchadnezzar the King— could bask in the suushice on the battlements of his palace, and look down, in his prosperity, on nine- tenths of the wor d. But nothing is less like the noble owner of Raby. No,; there is iu tfiis favoured son of Fortune— and indeed on all who bear his name— a praiseworthy affabiliiy, tiiat sets perfectly at their ease all those who are in his presence ; and it may be asserted of him, as was said of a great character of antiquity, that " no man can be great with so much ease; none familiar with so much dignity;" ant herein consists one of the greatest ornaments to rank Believe me, reader, I am not offering my Noble Friend the base incense of flattery ; for " Nothing misbecomes The man that would be thought a frieud like flattery;" But 1 have s" pb1ien the truth, and 1 appeal to those who have the pleasure of his acquaintance to confirm my report. But, brother sportsmen, you may al helit- ve me, fox- hunting has something to do witl this. We have the experience of ages to satisfy us of- the fact, that nothing makes a man so popular as contributing to, and mixing with, the sports of the people. Authors are generally poor ; and thus perhaps it is that so many of them have a slap at those that are rich, and who occupy the foremost stations in life. They would have us believe that our feeble frame is utterly incapable of too much indulgence, and that Knowledge aud Virtue sicken and die in all luxuriant soils. If they are to be believed, these hardy plants will only flourish on some barren spot ; nor will they rear their heads but amidst the toils of industry or the asperities of misfortune. Horace, indeed, calls Poverty the Sister of Knowledge, and makes one of his heroes insinuate broadly that Wealth is the birth- right of Fools ; but neither his experience nor our own establishes the fact. It may he so far true, that the fascinations of worldly greatness may be inimical to the severer studies of the Schools, and the test of virtue not so often demanded amidst all the bounty of the universe, as in poverty and rags: but farther we have no authority for going ; and 1 like to tnke a fairer view of my own kind. The sharp air of Neces- sity may bring to maturity all the good qualities of our nature, aud so may the wealth of Croesus ; and among the nobility of England we have many splendid examples. I abhor servility ; but 1 will never lift my baud to crush even the fabric of Pride, that Lowliness may triumph in its ruins. I have already observed that private character is not within the pale of my critical synod ; or at least I may say, I never maliciously violate that hallowed sanctuary ; but in describing to the Sporting World — and which description will be read iu all quarters of the globe— such a top sawyer in our line as the Marquis of Cleveland has proyed himself for so many revolving years, it would be unjust to the cause of fox- hunting— a cause I so warmly espouse— were I not to exhibit him in his several characters of an accomplished English gentleman, aud a first- rate I English sportsman. In the one, perhaps, his merit may he lint lightly appreciated ; for to say he is the | best bred man in England would be but saying- little. Those w ho, like himself, are placed in the first class of the community, acquire, as it were naturally, that easy deportment which their situation - confers on them, aiid the savoir virre, and the savoir faire, become their second .. nature. As a British sportsman- taking all things into the account — ! fearlessly assert, he has not his. fellow. Lord Cleveland is a sportsman, in the real acceptation of that comprehensive term ; not one of your battue gentlemen, crawling out when the day is far spent with umbrellas and goloshes; not a speculative, but a downright practical, sportsman of the Old as well as the New School ; not afraid of a shower of rain ; hut ready to face all winds and all weathers with his hounds in the morning, and as boon a fell >\ v over a bottle of wine iu the evening, as ever Bat Chits smiled upou. T have stated that the Marchioness of Cleveland was out on this day. It is true, as John Burrell observed, she does not ride as she used to do, but not for the reason lie gave me — namely, that she was got rather jolly ; for her Ladyship only possesses that desirable embonpoint which I so much admired in the nymph at Castle Howard, but because the nerves are not so strong as they were. She is a most graceful horse- woman ; and when her favourite hunter, Brighton, was in his prime, cut a prominent figure in " The Operations of the Raby Pack," towards the close of some of his Lordship's fine runs, which are so enthusiastically described in that book. The Ladies Augusta Milbanke anil Arabella Vane are constant attendants on the Raby Pack three times a fortnight, which is pretty good work for the softer sex ; but there is nothing like horse exercise for the human economy. As old Juvenal says, it keeps the body sound and the understanding clear. The condition of women is one of the most remark- able in the manners of all nations, and a decisive criterion of the stage of society at which they have actually arrived. Cleopatra hunted with Antony, drank with him afterwards— quite in character with that dissolute age; but, in more modem times, such is the refinement of manners and language, the exeicise of riding, and riding after hounds, have not been considered incompatible with the highest pitch of female delicacy. It ia quite evident the Marquis of Cleveland was of that opinion, for Ladv Augusta Milbanke and Lady Arabella Vane ( his Lordship's only surviving daughters) have been well entered to hounds from their very infancy; yet it would be difficult to produce two more amiable or accomplished persons. As for Lady Augusta, she is not only a fine rider, but she is nothing less than a sportswoman. She is as attentive to hounds in their work as her Noble father himself, and he never enjoyed a fine run more. Then look at the elegant and delicate Ladv Arabella Vane, of whom it may be said, a hundred years, hence, " Non ilia loco, neque origine gentis Clara, sed arte fuit:"" And who will say that fox- bunting abates woman's softness? As for myself, when I have seen her Ladyship at her harp, and contrasted her appearance then with the description given of her in her father's book, where he represents 44 the two sisters vying with each other over a deep and strong country, in one of his best runs," I could not help thinking she must have had the assistance of some super- human power. THE FROME SEXTON.— We last week mentioned the fact of Sir Tho. nas Champneys having on Sunday performed the humble office of Sexton, in the church of Fronie- Selwood, and of his afterwards resigning the keys to Mr. G. Higgins, as his successor; ( see 4 th page J: the following particulars relating to this situation, may now, perhaps, prove somewhat amusing .-— Twenty years since the parish of Fiome at large contributed, to a very great amount, the pecuniary means for carrying on a law- suit against the present Lord of the Manor, who, at that time, claimed the appointment of Sexton to the Church of Erome upon the decease of the individual who haft field it for 50' years, under the Champneys family. The suit alluded to, which ultimately terminated in Chancery in favour of the claimant, was the occasion of many very ancient and curious documents being- produced before the Court ;. among others, a chirograph of a fine levied by Sir Amian Champneys, Knt. temp. Hen. 11. only 80 ye irs after the Conquest, of the Manors Of Frome- Scl wood and Orchard I eigh, under the first of which this appointment was given by the verdict of the Jury, which was special- although the other documents produced establish a prescriptive right from, the . building of the Church to this appointment in the Orchardleigh family, the present representative of which ancient house naturally must feel jealous of such a right after a triumphant result under a contesC of two years' duration, some 20 years since. Sir X. Champneys, Bart, therefore, attended the Churchvm person, on the day alluded to, demanding the keys from the locum tenens of the late Sexton, and haudmg ihem over, with the requisite deed of appointment, to the present officer. In fact, some nine years since, when the new Free Church in Fi- ome was consecrated, the ground for the building of which was given by the present Sir Thomas Champneys, at an expense of nearly £ 500, the present Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, who officiated for the late Doctor Beadon, remarked, that he believed it was the first instance of a Diocesan being con- ducted by a Parish Sexton from the one Church to the other in the Sexton'' s coach with six beautiful grey horses: Sir Thomas having then officiated in person, and joined the procession. The office is one of considerable emolument, no less than of respect- ability and trust; and has, in one or two instances, been held by females.— Bath Herald. Richard Gillham, the butler to Mrs. Coxe, has been taken up on suspicion of the late murder at Bath, and, together with his wife, undergone: several examinations before the Mayor. The prisoner was afterwards conveyed to gaol, but none of the evidence has transpired. The remains of the unfortunate young woman were on Wednesday interred iu Walcot burial ground, a vast concourse of persons attending the funeral.—[ Gillam has since confessed that he committed the murder, and that he was instig- ated to do so, in consequence of the deceased having detected him in robbing his mis- tress, and having threatened to inform that lady of the circumstance.] We have heard that the House of Messrs. Harrop, Hill, and Smith, of this town, are taking out a patent for a method of cleaning and improving East India rice, so as to render it in colour and quality equal to Carolina rice. When the great difference in price of these two articles is considered, it appears to us an important discovery, not only to house- keepers in point of economy, but as tending to increase the consumption of the produce of our own colonies.— Billinge's Liverpool Advertiser. A SURPRISE.— Lately, as the gamekeeper of the Hon. H. Butler was out in Chalton wood, near Nuun Moncktbn, his eye was Attracted by a fine cock pheasant at a short distance, perched upon a branch, about three 5aids from the ground— but to his great snrprise, just as he was about to fire, a large snake, about a yard and a half long, raised its head to within a foot of the bird, the reptile having encircled its tail round a bough of the tree. The gamekeeper took 11 second aim, and brought both pheasant and snake to the ground at one shot. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.— On Sunday last, as the inhabitants of Stoke Saiuf, in this county, were proceeding ( 0 church, the indistinct cries of some persons were heard from the flooded pari of the moors, and at first without its being discovered from what particular spot this came; at length a person imagined he saw at a great distance, something like wood floating 011 Ihe water. A telescope having been procured, it was discovered that what appeared lo he logs, were the heads of two men, the other parts of their bodies being immersed ; a boat was soon provided, which put oflr' to the rescue of the sufferers ; but such was the distance of the spot, the centre of an immense lake, that it was nearly an hour and a ha if before they could be taken up. It appeared that the men had gone out early in the morning, in a small boat, with a view of catching wild fowl; and that the boat had upset in a place seven or eight feet deep ; one of them had supported himself on some con- cealed bars of wood, while the other held by both hands on the end of one of their oars, which had fortunately stuck upright iu the mud. Although in a most distressing state of exhaustion, having remained in their perilous situation a considerable time before their cries were heard, the poor fellows, from the promptitude with which medical assistance was supplied, are now doing well. Taunton Courier. THE CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY. [ From Blackwood's Magazine.'] The Marquis of Cleveland's servants must have been of old Kenfs opinion— that a kind master is a great recommendation ; for many of them are re- markable for their long services. Tommy Hodgson ( the groom) I have mentioned as having lived more than half a century in the family. Storey, the butler, as long, having entered ii when a bov, and he and his Lord are growing old together. The coachman has lived with Lord Cleveland between forty and fifty years; and, by the size of his waistcoat, I should imagine he has been on pretty good terms with the cook and butler. Thomas Sayer, who. was kennel huntsman, and afterwards porter, the same length of time, and now alive in his retirement; and Mr. Barnes, the house- steward, 22 years. Wheatlev, his Lordship's private trainer, and cousin to the jockey of that name, has been thirty- five years in his place, and no doubt will complete his half century, if not called away sooner by one whose commands be must obey, even in preference to his present master. • Not more conspicuous by he. r birth than lier accomplish- ments. fHi0ccUancor^ SnteUignuf* WELLINGTON — it Like a re- appearing star- Like a glory from afar, FIRST doth head the flock of war !" Peel and Melville, and other Worthies, are re- called to hold and wield that power from which they nobly retired, when to hold and wield it wo Sid have been dishonour. During their short obscura- tion behind the clouds of faction, we beheld them shining still; and the Nation— the entire British Nation— hails their return to that station from which they never could have been driven by force, but from which they did, with one magnauimous tnind, retire, with all loyalty to their King, with all love to their Country, but in obedience to a still higher call than that either of King or Country— their Conscience. RETURN TO CASH- PAYMENTS. From the mnnner in which the New Ministry are spoken of in Foreign journal*', it is quite clear that the nomination of the Duke of Wellington to the office of Prime Minister, will have the ( Greatest weigh! and influence upon every Cabinet in liurope; for no Prime Minister is so intimately and person- ally known. There is not one measure, as Lord Palmerston justly observed, of formal or domestic poliey, in which for the last twelve or thirteen years his Grace has not borne a part. He has beeu a party to negotiations iu every Court in Europe— Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Petersburg!). He has been familiar with all the Ministers by whom the politics of each have been governed. '' Quse regio in terres nostri non plena labovis." It is this intimate acquaintance with foreign powers, or rather we might say their intimate acquaintance with him— their knowledge and experience of the resources of- bis genius— that justify us in the opinion we have expressed of the influence, which bis nomination will have upon the different Eu- ropean Governments. We have heard from Vienna that a rise in the Austrian funds is imputed to his Grape having been commanded to f> rin a new Ministry— Iu fact, the Exchanges have risen every where in consequence. A match is reported to be on the tapis between a scion of a noble house intimately connected with this county, and the daughter of a wealthy commoner, as intimately connected with this city. A female branch of the noble house alluded to, it is also said, is about shortly to unite herself in the " silken bands" of matrimony with the principal of a rich aud fust- rate mercantile house in the metropolis.— IVorcester Herald, In the Morning Chronicle of Saturday last, it is stated that " upwards of a hundred thousand ounces of gold and silver were entered for shipment to Calais in the beginning of this week.** For some time back considerable quantities of gold have been shipped to Hamburgh aud the Netherlands. The cxportations have not been caused by an excessive issue of paper, but by the immense quantities of foreign productions which we have imported fro; n all the world, but especially from the North of Europe, within the last two year-*. The time of payment has at length come; the balance is found against lis; we have beeu increasing our importa- tions and decreasing our exportations; consequently we have been buying more corn anil selling less manufactures; and accordingly Ihe draiuing of the precious metals has begun.— How, then, in the name of common sense, is it practicable, without shaking the kingdom to its centre, without reducing millions of persons to beggary, to return to cash payments in the course of fourteen months? It is not simply the sound of the words" cash payments," which alarms us. For if the paper were equal to the gold if the creditor had no advantage over the debtor iu the change— then we should have less objection to the measure. But what alarms us, and what will ruin the country, is, the making the debtor pay in gold, when the price of wheat is 44s. per quarter, a debt contracted iu paper, when wheat was nominally COs. per quarter. This is the worm that has been preying on the heart of the country for many years.— And yet Mr. Peel is placed iu a painful dilemma. He is the author, or the reputed author, of these currency measures. He has him- self stood aghast at the liavock which he has seen his measures produce; but like a torrent rushing down a hill, onwards it mast go; it may be diverted from its course, but to turn it b icfc is impossible. Mr. Peel cannot turn back; but will lie procecl — will he set his reputation upon the cast of April, 1823? We should conjecture not. It would not surprise us to see him postpone the operation of the bill till 1833, as he originally proposed. This will produce no substantially beneficial results. It may- afford us a short breathing time— but the fatal conclusion must come, unless measures essentially different from any yet proposed be resorted to.— Western Luminary.

FRANCE. The following general reflections upon the state of Frac. ce, considered in her domestic policy, are from the Foreign Quarterly Review, No. I. We know not whether they are just or not; they are at least plausible:— " We cannot help thinking that a new era is about to begin in France. They have now, for the first time, begun to feel the due working of a representative system. The absolute domination of the old regime has passed; the horrors of the revolution have taught them that mobs and mas- sacres, and clubs and demagogues are much more likely to lead to tyranny than to freedom. They have begun to see that a great and restless con- queror is not the man from whom ihey are to expect the blessings of equal rights; they are gladly for- getting the empty and feverish aspirations after universal dominion; and they have lately shewn that they are determined to resist intrigue and Jesuitism levelled against their liberties. Contain- ing in herself all the elements of greatness, her financial affairs unincumbered, her agriculture, commerce, and manufactures improving, her rural population comfortable and contented, her resources undamaged, her people active, intelligent, energetic, and brave— she has, if properly governed, not much fo seek, little to fear from abroad : her enemies are in her own bosom, and they are the jacobins and the jesuits. The supremacy of the former party, or of their legitimate representatives, the Bonaparte- ans, would be an unmixed evil for Europe and herself. Their restless anxiety for destruction, apparently for the mere sake of destruction, or the gratification of some sordid feelings; the bitter memory which they still retain of the utter defeat I of their child and champion, the violent rancour of all their passions, and the desperate nature of the agents which they employ, would soon lead to a repetition of the atrocities which before marked their career at home, and a renewal of ceaseless wars from abroad. Europe would not again commit the mistake of suffering to grow into power a faction devoteel to the upsetting of all the cherished institutions of European society, and pledged to the demolition, or at least the insult, of every existing government; and France ought to know, that its success must end in her enslavement, even if it chanced again to be victorious. With great plea- sure, therefore, we see an almost new party arising ru France, a party which can look upon Bonaparte as he deserves, as a great though finally unsuccess- ful general, but as a selfish and egotistical tyrant, to whom the very name of liberty was a jest— a party in whose eyes not even Austerlitz or Jena can atone for legislative bodies trampled upon, freedom of speech put down, the press gagged into the most servile silence, and courts of law dictated to; not a hundred victories can compensate for military executions, arbitrary taxations, grinding conscrip- tions, lor the audacious attempt of investing a new dynasty, thrust upon reluctant Europe, with attri- butes and privileges scarcely demanded for the old claimant's by divine right. In a word, we rejoice that a rational knowledge of the rights of free men is . diffusing in a country, where our neighbours must pardon HS for saying it never existed before. u Whether the jesuits will be able to stem this knowledge remains to be seen; we think that, in spite of all their intrigues, they will uot. It is, at all events, a question well worthy of the most profound attention of the Bourbons and their friends; for if they cling to this congregation of plot t ers against freedom of conscience, and freedom of institutions ; if they take the side of these conse- crated enemies of God and man, the road from France may be opened to them again, and if they leave their thrones in such a quarrel, their cause is hopeliss— they part, like Ajut, NEVER TO RETURN." ASSESSED TAX APPEALS.— For the last few- months a Surveyor of Taxes, of the name of Hyde, has raised a clamour in Liverpool, which argues a greater share of the " ignorant impatience of taxa- tion," than perhaps Mr. Hyde expected to find in a place so proverbially loyal. Mr. Hyde has resorted to modes of assessment which, if they be not illegal, arc at least quite new to Liverpool. It is I well known, that there are occasions on which merchants and brokers are compelled to employ an extra number of men to load their vessels, to weigh the goods, & c. The men so employed are, for the most pmt, common labourers, who are hired by the day, or part of the day. The new surveyor con- ceives, that these men so employed, provided they draw samples or assist in weighing goods, are chargeable under the act as porters, and he has accordingly sent in c barges founded on this opinion, to almost every merchant and broker in Liverpool. Thursday, the 24th nit. was Ihe day appointed for the hearing of the appeals against those surcharges. The first case which occupied the attention of the commissioners was that of Mr. Robinson, who ap- pealed against a charge for a clerk, the person so charged being an apprentice for seven years, from whom iVJr. Robinson received no premium, but to whom he paid a small annual salary. The commis- sioners decided that Mr. Robinson should be re- lieved from the charge. The next parties who came before the court were Messrs. Cropper, Benson, & Co. who, in the person of Mr. Hodgson, claimed an exemption from two charges; one of a nature similar to that which Mr. Robinson had appealed against, and a charge made for a number < ( porters, under which name Mr Hyde contended the casual labourers before- mentioned ought to be classed. After a very long discussion, the commis- sioners decided, that Messrs. Cropper, Benson, and Co. should b;- relieved from both charges. The case of Messrs. Rathbone, and of Messrs. W. and J. Brown, were then examined, and were decided in like manner. In the case of Messrs. Field and Crossfield, Mr. Field appeared to appeal against the charge made upon their firm, for a traveller and for . porters. Mr. F. stated, that their house gave a commission to certain grocers who sold goods for them, in such places as the grocers visited in pur- suit of their own business. Over the persons so selling Mr. F. had no controul, except in the price of the article, and if no sales were effected, no commission was received. Mr. Hyde then read a case, by which it appeared the Judges had decided, that a person selling on commission for one party, and being a regular traveller in the employ of another house, the party employing him on commis- sion was nevertheless liable to be charged for a traveller. Mr. F. contended that the cases were different, for in all probability the party received a smaller salary in consequence of being allowed to take commissions from other houses. If, said Mr. F. Mr. Hyde's doctrine on this point is correct, a corn- merchant, who employs thirty brokers, who go to Manchester, Warrington, & c. to sell his corn, is liable to be charged for thirty separate travellers. Mr. Ffeld then claimed exemption from the charge of two porters, which claim Mr. Hyde attempted to enforce, on the ground, th.- t these men occasionally assisted a woman employed to pick tobacco, in putting the hogsheads into the scale. The commis- sioners decided, that Mr. Field ought to be relieved from both charges. Thus six cases only were heard during a sitting of six hours, and every case was decided against Mr. Hyde, who desired a case for the opinion of the Judges on oil the points in dispute, between himself and the commissioners. HOUSE OF LORDS— JAN 29. This being the day appointed for the meeting of Parliament for the dispatch of business, their Lord- ships began to assemble a little before two o'clock. Precisely at half- past two, the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury-, with Lord Shaftesbury, and Lord EllenboiOugh, the Peers named in the Coin mission for reading bis Majesty's Speech, entered the House, and took their seats upon the woolsack. In a short time, the Speaker of the ( jouse of Com- mons, followed by a considerable number of members, approached the bar, and having bowed to the Wool- sack, the Royal Commission was read, after which the Lord Chancellor, read the following most gracious speech. THE KING'S SPEECH. " My Lords, and Gentlemen, " We are commanded by his Majesty to acquaint you, that his Majesty continues to receive fioor all Foreign Princes and States, assurances of their desire to maintain the relations of amity with this country, and that the Great Powers of Europe participate in the earnest wish of his Majesty to cultivate a good understanding upon all points which may conduce to the preservation of peace. 44 His Majesty has viewed for some time past, with great concern, the state of affairs in the East of Europe. 44 For several years a contest has been carried on between the Ottoman Porte, and the inhabitants of the Greek Provinces and Islands, which has been marked on each side by excesses, revolting; to huma- nity. 44 In the progress of that contest, the rights of neutral states, and the laws whiil* regulate the inter- course of civilized nations, rif'- ve been repeatedly violated, and the peaceful commerce of his Majesty's i subjects has been exposed to frequent interruption | ami to depredations, too often aggravated by acts of violence and atrocity.. 44 His Majesty has felt the deepest anxiety to terminate the calamities, and avert the dangers, in- separable from hostilities which constitute the only exception to the general tranquillity of Europe. 44 Having been earnestly intrealed by the Greeks to interpose his good offices,, with a view to effect a re- conciliation between them and the Ottoman Porte, his Majesty concerted measures for that purpose, in the first instance with the Emperor of Russia, and subsequently with his Imperial Majesty and the King of France. 44 His Majesty has given directions that there should be laid before you, Copies of a Protocol, signed at St. Pctersburgh by the Plenipotentiaries of his Ma- jesty, and of bis Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, on the 4th of April, 1826, and of the Treaty entered into between his Majesty and the Courts of the Tuileries, and of St. Petersburg, on the 6th of July, 1827. 44 In the course of the measmes adopted with a view to carry into effect the object of the Treaty, a collision, wholly unexpected by his Majesty, look place in the Poiteof Navarin, between the Fleets of the Contracting Powers, and that of the Ottoman Porte. 44 Notwithstanding the valour displayed by the com- bined fleet, his Majesty deeply laments that this con. flirt should have occurred with the naval force of an ancient Ally; but he still entertains a confident hope, that this untoward event will not be followed by further hostilities, and will not impede that amicable adjustment of the existing differences between the Porte and the Greeks, to which it is so manifestly their common interest to accede. 44 In maintaining the National faith, by adhering to the engagements into which his Majesty has entered, his Majesty will never lose sight of the great objects to which all his efforts have been directed; the termin- ation of the contest between the hostile Parties— the permanent settlement of their future relations to each other, and the maintenance of the repose of Europe, upon the basis on which it has rested since the last general treaty of Peace. " His Majesty has the greatest satisfaction in in- forming you that Ihe purposes for which his Majesty, upon the Requisition of the Court of Lisbon, detached a military force to Portugal, have been accomplished The obligations of good faith having been fulfilled, and the safety and independence of Portugal secured, his Majesty has given orders that the forces now in that country should be immediately withdrawn. 44 We are commanded by his Majesty to acquaint you, that his Majesty has concluded Treaties of Amity and Commerce with the Emperor of Brazil, and with the United States of Mexico.—- Copies of which will, by his Majesty's command, be laid before you. 44 Gentlemen of the House vf Commons, 44 His Majesty has ordered the Estimates for the current year to be laid before you. They have been prepared with every regard to economy consistent with the exigency of the Public Service. We are com- manded by his Majesty to recommend to your early attention, an inquiry into the state of the Revenue and Expenditure of the Country. 44 His Majesty is assured that it will be satisfactory to you to learn that, not withstanding the diminution which has taken place in some branches of the Revenue, the total amount of receipt during the last year has not disappointed the expectations which were enter- tained at the commencement of it. 44 My Lords, and Gentlemen, 44 His Majesty has commanded us to inform you, that a considerable increase has taken place in the Export of the principal Articles of British Manu- facture. 44 This improvement of our Foreign Trade has led to a more general employment of the population, and affords a satisfactory indication of the continued abate- ment of those Commercial difficulties which recently affected so severely the national industry. 44 His Majesty commands us to assure you, that he places the firmest reliance upon your continued en- deavours to improve the condition of all classes of hi* subjects, and to advance the great object of his Ma- jesty's solicitude— the prosperity and happiness of his people." The address was agreed to unanimously, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. After upwards of twenty writs had been moved, in consequence of the late changes, the Hon! CECIL JKNKINSON moved the Address. In the course of a speech of great feeling and some length, he bore testi- mony to the extreme gratification with which the formation of the present Cabinet had been heard of by his brother ( the Earl of Liverpool), and to the almost identity of views, objects, and opinions that had King- existed between that amiable, wise, and honest noble- man, and the present Secretary of State for the Home Department ( Mr. Peel).— The Hon. Gentleman ex- pressed his concurrence in the view taken by the speech of the occurrences at Navarino, and his gratification at silie . improved state of affairs in Portugal. He then begged to say a few words respecting the revenue. While considering such a momentous subject in the trifling and imperfect manner in' which such an humble individual was alone enabled to consider it, he trusted the kind indulgence of the House would be extended to him. He was convinced that the country possessed resources sufficient,— nay, more than sufficient, to ex- tricate it from its present great difficulties, and to restore it to a flourishing and prosperous condition. vSuch was his firm persuasion, his, confident expectation. Let them hut revert for a moment to the page of history — for example, to the period of the wars of the suc- cession : Ihey would there find abundant proofs of the recuperative powers which were possessed by J his country, and which enabled her to recover, under circumstances of extreme depression. The greatest glory which could mark the. career of any ministry would he, to accomplish such a restoration of national prosperity and strength. That glory belonged, in a peculiar degree, to Sir Robert Walpole, who restored the finances of the country to a state of prosperity, after ihe depressing effects of the wars of King William and of ihe succession. The debts which were then incurred undoubtedly could not he compared with the debt in- curredjura more recent period ; but in a certain degree they comparable, and the circumstance fully warranted'the conclusion that this country, through the elasticity of its resources, would again rise to a pro- sperous and happy condition. Such an achievement, he would repeat, would Confer the greatest glory upon any ministry. He was not the man who would under- rate the glories which encircled the name of Pitt ; he would not be the person to undervalue the result of that illustrious statesman's exertions iu preserving these countries from the effects of the revolutionary mania which then threatened desolation to Europe; but he conceived tliat the brighest glory which crowned the fame of that great man was the circumstance of his having restored the finances of this country, after the great depression produced in them by the America it war, to a state of the highest prosperity perhaps ever witnessed. One of the chief causes of the present depression in the finances was to he found in the im- mense and universal changes in the value of property. When the depression is attributed to the effects of the late war, it is remarked that 15 years have elapsed since its termination, in the variations in the value of property they must seek the cause of the depression, and until these variations are adjusted, it is vain to look for prosperity in the financial condition of the country, He knew well that in some time that happy result would be obtained, and that the growing re- sources of the country would not alone extricate it from its present difficulties; but, looking at those resource*, he would confidently predict that still greater prosperity WHS in store for them. His sincere wish was, that regard should be had to the various interests of the country. He had himself, for a long period of his life, belonged to the agricultural interest, and he would now declare his opinion, that unless complete equality were established between the agri- cultural, the commercial, and the manufacturing in- terests, it would be idle ever to hope lor real piosperity iu this land. Impressed with this feeling", lie would entreat the house, as the organ of all the interests of the country, to resort to conciliatory measures. He would entreat them to proceed to the adoption of measures of that description, as such tneasuies would be alone calculated to alleviate the distress which now so generally prevailed. It was with that view that he ( Mr. Jenkinson), unused as he was to address them, had trespassed on their attention with these observa- tions. Perhaps it might so happen that his conduct upon this occasion might incur for him from some quarters ridicule and contempt. He cared not lor that : he had acted as his feelings and his judgment prompted. In coming forward thus, he conceived he was only lending his vuce to that of the country, convinced, at he was, that that voice would be ere long expressed in favour of an administration which he v\ as certain would be found worthy of the confidence and support of this House, and of the entire Empire. The Hon. Member concluded by moving the address. Mr. R. GHANT seconded the address. Mr. BROUGHAM commenced a speech of considerable length by throwing out some sarcasms at the allusions made by Mr. Jenkinson to his brother, and described the Earl of Liverpool and the Earl of Eldou as being the Castor and Pollux of t^ ie late Administration— inseparable— always in conjunction. He protested against the use of the term untoward" as applied to the affair of Navarino j and after some sarcasms at the unity of power which had been centered in the Duke of Wellington, expressed his opinion that his military skill would not be of avail in his situation as Prime Minister,, and observed, in reference to the Duke's political views, that however powerful his Grace may be, the power of education now working- through all classes of society, would protect the public liberty against every effort io controul it. Sir J. YOKKK expressed his distrust of the present administration; and Lord AITHOKPE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, stated their disapprobation of the language of the Speech with regard to the battle of Navarin, Mr. BANKES concurred in the view of our situation as regarded Turkey which was expressed in His Majesty's speech. Lord PAI. MERSTON replied in detail to the observa- tions of Mr. Brougham; particularly exposing the absurd injustice of describing, as a mere military man, the illustrious person who had beeti the principal mover in every diplomatic arrangement of the last fifteen years. Mr. CAI. CRAFT said be would await the conduct and measures of the new government, before he would judge of its claims upon public confidence. He ex- pected more from it than most of his friends. Lord NOKMANBY expressed his regret at the Moss experienced by the death of Mr. Canning ; and said he had no confidence in the present Administration. The ad ( I i ess was then agreed to, and the House adjourned. Dr. Hoffman, speaking of water, says. 44 If there is in nature a medicine that deserves the name of universal, it is in my opinion, common water, of the best and purest kind. The use of this is so necessary to us all, that we can neither live, nor preserve our bodies sound and healthy, without it. For it guards against every disease, protects and defends the body from all kind of corruption that may- prove fatal to life, and answers all possible intentions of cure; so that without it, no disorder, whether ehrouic or acute, can be happily and successfully removed. For confirmation of this opinion, I do not insist ou the medical springs, but confine myself to common water— but, of the best and purest kind. If every physician would make it bis practice carefully to examine into the quality of the water used in the houses he visits, he might confidently hope to practise with more satisfaction to himself, and benefit to his patients." The remains of an ancient castle have recently been discovered near the town Of Sympheropol, in the Crimea, from the ruins of which have been dug various bas- relievos, with Greek inscriptions, one of which is dedicated to Jupiter Atabyrious ; on another the name of King Scilurus is perfectly distinguish- able. This is probably the celebrated Scilurus who made, war against the Generals of Mithridates Eupater? and who, according to St ra bo's account, possessed in the interior of Taurica Chersonesus, the castles of Chavmn, Neapolis, and Palacium. It is probable that the vestiges just mentioned belonged to one of those three places. Among the has relievos is one representing an old man with a thick beard and a remarkable cap; perfectly resembling a figure on a medal in M. de Blaramberc's cabinet, the reverse of which bears the name of King Scilurus.— Literary Gazette. DEATH OF MACDONALD or GLENGARRY.— We regret to announce « he death of this celebrated chief- tain, under circumstances which will greatly increase the lamentations of his friends and tenantry at his premature end. On the 17ih inst. Glengarry, and two of his daughters, left luvergary, to proceed in the Stirling, steamer, to Glasgow, on their way to this city. The weather was exceedingly boisterous, and, soon after passing Fort William, part of the Stirling's machinery went wrong, and she drifted on the rocks ou the Ardowger coast. Glengarry,. in attempting to leap ashore, missing his footing struck his head tiolently against a rock, and fell into the water. Notwithstanding the severe contusion he bad received, he w as able to keep himself above water by swimming, and afterwards walked to InversCaddle, where he was put'to bed, hut only survived six hours. His daughters with the rest of the passengers and crew, excepting a servant of Moidart's, were all saved. These are the only particulars of this melancholy event, as far as We know, that have yet reached town.— Edinburgh Observer. MACCLESFIELD, J AS. 23.— The dismissal of the late ministers ( or rather the present ones, no fresh ones having been yet appointed officially) had been hailed in this town with the liveliest expressions of satisfaction, under the hope that with a change of men there would be a change of measures, tending to restore the silk trade to its former state of pro- sperity. This hope seems, however, to have been no sooner created than destroyed, as no man sees any thing before him, should Mr. Huskisson be retained in office, but inevitable ruin--^ H may not be known to His Majesty, but it is well known to those few practical men who have had access to the late President of the Board of Trade, and who have openly expressed their great astonishment at the circumstance, that the latter person is totally unac- quainted with the common principles of trade, and its invariable practical bearings. Like all others who huve undertaken a business which they do not understand, it appears that he has formed his opinions, and decided upon his plans, from the theories of wild and speculative men, ignorant al- most as himself in practice, and whose theories have turned out as destructive to themselves individually, as they have proved, when adopted by Mr. Hus- kisson, to the country at large; for of those persons consulted on the establishment of the new system, three of the principal ones rank among its victims, having either publicly failed or become embarrassed in their circumstancesj and the effects upon this town are but too apparent in the circumstance of there being, from an official report made last week, nine hundred and twenty uninhabited houses, fif- teen factories standing still, and sixty- four rooms iu other factories unoccupied. THIEVING EXTRAORDINARY.— For a consider- able time back the graziers throughout a great tract of country in Meath had suffered by the abstraction of sheep from their lands; in fact, whole flocks had disappeared, notwithstanding the greatest vigilance. The tales of enchantment, seemed to be realised, and the graziers were astounded; when, all at once, the sorcerer's wand was broken, and that, to which the efforts of ordinary meu were inadequate, was effected by the intervention of a priest. The minutest inquiry having been disappointed, the priest's courier betook himself for refreshment to a public- house, where, with outstretched ears, but apparent sleep, he overheard a conversation. He soon joined the party from whom it proceeded, and informed them of his mission and of bis travels. 44 Why," said one, 44 you passed your sheep very close by." 44 How, and where," said the courier, 44 I'd know them out of a thousand?" " Jist in place; and troth it would be next to impossible to know ' era ; for its they that are re- branded, arn't themselves, at all, at all, no more nor hundreds that win I the afore'ni." Having heard this confession, be, on further developement of the mystery, discovered that a neighbour, quite beyond the reach of suspicion, had lived for several years on the profits of stock which be never had purchased. The problem of his rapid prosperity was solved, the priest got his sheep, and the farmer is now in gaol awaiting prosecution — Carlow Pod. The Speech having been read, tlie Earl of CHICHES- TER moved the Address to His Majesty, in answer to the same, w hich, as usual, was an echo of the Speech. — The Address was seconded by Viscount STRANGFORD, who repeated the sentiments embodied in the Speech, and whoso support of those sentiments derives much value from his perfect knowledge of the means, in- terest, and dispositions of the Turkish and Russian governments. Lord HOLLAND, in a speech of considerable length, argued that the term 44 ancient ally," applied in the speech to the Turkish government, was uot correct: our alliance with Turkey was hut of comparatively recent date, its nature too was indistinct, and its tenure, from the despotic character of the Ottoman government, was at all times uncertain. Lord KING complained of the omission in the speech of any pledge for an alteration in the Corn Laws, and expressed his apprehension that the present Admi- nistration would be decidedly partial towards what was termed the landed interest. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in a brief but extremely perspicuous speech, explained THAT A MEASURE FOUNDED ON THE CORN BLLL OF LAST YEAR, BUT MODIFIED IN ITS DETAILS, would be early brought forward. He then, with much animation, and with success, vindicated the right of the Ottoman govern- ment to the title of an ancient ally ;— alluding to the vast assistance which the cause of Europe received from the ascendancy of British councils- at Constanti- nople in 1812, when, by disengaging that part of the Russian army which would othiprw ise have been neces- sarily occupied on the Turkish frontier, we enabled the Emperor Alexander to direct all his resources against the common enemy. Ilis Grace then defended the employment of the term 44 untoward" as applied to the conflict at NAVARINO, paying at the same time a just tribute to the skill and gallantry of the Admiral, officers, and men, unluckily engaged. The Earl of ELDON expressed himself convinced that the conflict was a most 44 untoward" one. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY congratulated the country upon being placed under the administration of one w ho, in the course of a long series of public and momentous services, HAD NEVER UNDERTAKEN ONE WHICH HE DID NOT BRING TO A HAPPY AND A BRIL- LIANT CONCLUSION; and who stood so high in the opinion of all Foreign Powers. Earl GREY declared himself disposed to observe a perfect neutrality and independence with respect to the government, and any opposition which might be formed. He concurred with the speech in considering the conflict of Navariuo an 44 untoward" one. In reply to a question from Lord FERRERS, the Duke of WELLINGTON declared that he had relinquished the command of the army the very moment when he con- sented to accept the station of prime minister. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Viscount GODERICIJ, and Lord HARROWBY, spoke shortly, principally with the view of exonerating Sir Edward Codrington from all blame in the affair Vf Navarino. llimuigmce. In the House of Lords on Tuesday, the Marquis of Lansdown, Lord Holland, Lord King, and other peers, who, subsequent to the Easter recess, and until the prorogation of parliament la* t year, took their seats on the ministerial side of the house, resumed their seats on the opposition side. Earl Grey, was in his accustomed place, not having, when several of his noble friends went on Ihe other side of the house, joined them. Viscount Goderich, the Earl of Etdon, and the Marquis of Londonderry, were sealed on Ihe cross benches. After the debate Lord Eldon and the Lord Chancellor were familiarly conversing together. — The Duke of Clarence sat on the Ministerial side. In the House of Commons, Mr Dawson and Mr. Peel's brother attended early, and sealed themselves on the Treasury bench. They weie soon afterwards joined by Sir T. Lellibridge, w ho smilingly took his seat on the Treasury bench. On the opposition side, Mr. Maberly appeased early in his place, as did Mr. Brougham, Loid Nugent, & c.; but no other members of eminence appeared there till the evening, except Lord Althorp, who look bis old seat on the left of the chair— the tide which he never left during all the changes of last session. The Gazette of Tuesday announces that His Majesty has granted to Viscount Beresford the office of Master General of Ihe Ouluance ; and has appointed the Right Hon. C. Arbuthnot, W. D. Adams, and H. Daw kins, Esqrs. Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues. A ROGUE IN A TRAP.— Mr. George Taylor, of Sun- street, Keighley, having had last week occasion to employ a person in his cellar of suspicious charac- ter, and whose cupidity he suspected might be attracted by the wares to pay him a nocturnal visit, contrived a trap— a secure but it. offensive man trap, constructed of two pieces of wood, and a bar of iron, which he placed under the cellar- lid to receive any intruder that might attempt an unauthorised entrance. The event at once showed his sagacity, and proved his ingenuity, for in the night of Saturday last, or early on Sunday morning, the family . were roused from their beds, by a person from beneath calling in a dismal tone for assistance, and on descend- ing into the cellar, they found, not much to their sur- prise, the identical thief for whom the trap had been set, struggling in his toils, the iron having caught his clothes, and the timber so effectually secured his person as to render every attempt to extricate himself fruitless. On being apprehended, he acknowledged that he had been in that situation for nearly three hours, and that he had by turns sung, sworn, and prayed, without being able to effect his liberation. The name of the delinquent is Lot Pickles. r. I AN CHESTER. On the evening of Thursday last, Mr. Henry Barker was in company with three gentlemen, whom, as there is no necessity to bring their names before ' he public, we will call Mr. A. Mr. H. and Mr. C. Three of the pasty — namely, Mr. Barker, Mr. A. and Mr. B. an- nounced their intention of going- to the assembly, which was to take place that'evening; and the two latter went home to dress for the purpose, leaving Mr. Barker and Mr. ( 3. together. Shortly after they were gone, Mr. C. said he had forgotten to apprise Mr. A. that he intended to take a bed at his house on the following night, having been invited to a party in the neighbour- hood where Mr. A. lived; and he begged that, as Mr. Barker was going to the assembly, he would there deliver a note to Mr. A. on the subject. This Mr. BaiLer promised to do; and a note was accordingly written and delivered to him. It happened, however, that some circumstances prevented him from going to the assembly, and he therefore merely called at the ante- room, for the purpose of getting the no< e sent in to Mr. A. Whilst he was there, inquiring for Mr. A. that gentleman and Mr. B. who had not previously arrived, entered the ante- room, and Mr. Barker gave the note to Mr. A.; one of the party, but we do not know which, observing jocularly that he supposed it was a challenge. This observation appears to have been overheard by some other person, who did not perceive that it was merely jocular, but took it literally ; and, on the following day, told some other person that Mr. A. had received, at the assembly- room, a challenge, which had been delivered to him by Mr. Barker. The secret ( as secrets usually are) was subsequently com- municated to other persons, and came at last to the knowledge of u Mr. Stott, a fustian- manufacturer, w ho is tenant of Mr. A. and seems to have considered him- self iu some way authorized to interfere in that gentle man's quarrels. As soon as he heard of ihe challenge, he went to Mr. A.' s house, and communicated to the ladies of the family the alarming news that Mr. A. was it bout to fight a duel the next morning, and was, of course, in great danger of losing his life. It may readily be supposed that the ladies were greatly alarm- ed, and very naturally begged that Mr. Stott would endeavour to prevent the meeting, which he promised to do. He then returned to Manchester, and after spend ing some time in seeking for Mr. Barker, whom he did not then find, called upon Mr. Lavender, at the police- office, and requested the assistance of an officer pievent the fatal consequences which might ensue from the apprehended meeting in the morning. Mr. Laven- der, of course, promised that an officer should he sent ; and Mr. Siott then sallied out again iu further search of Mr. Barker, whom he at length found ( about ten o'clock) in the boxes of the theatre. Not knowing Mr. Barker's person, he desired ihe box- keeper to point him out, which being done, he addressed him, and asked him if he was Mr. Barker, the solicitor Mr. Barker, who was seated iu the box, replied in the affirmative. Mr. Stott then asked Mr. Barker if lie had seen Mr. A. at the assembly on the preceding evening- Mr. Barker again replied in the affirmative; on which Mr. Stott immediately, without further parley, struck him a violent blow iu the face, which knocked him dowu on the floor of the box, and then drawing from his sleeve a horsewhip ( which, it seems, he had purchased the same evening), began to apply it with very great violence to the person of Mr. Barker, as he lay upon the floor. Several gentlemen were seen in the box at the time ; but they were so much astounded with the sud denuess and violence of the assault, that they did not immediately interfere; and we believe the first person who rendered any effectual assistance to Mr. Barker was Lord William Lennox, who was in a box on the oppo site, side of the house, and ran to the spot on witnessing the outrage. Mr. Stott was then taken into custody by one of the constables who usually attend at the theatre, and conveyed to the police- office, where Mr. Lavender look bail for his appearance at the New Bailey on the following morning. On Saturday, therefore, Mr. Stott and Mr. Barker attended, and the case having been called on, Mr. Stott begged that the Magistrates would grant a private hearing of the case : but Mr. Barker ( whose face bore evident marks of the violence which had been committed upon him) objected to this course, observing that the assault upon him had been of a very public nature, and that nothing hut a most public ex- planation of the circumstances which led to it would he satisfactory to him. The Magistrates, therefore, refused to grant a private hearing-; and Mr. Barker proceeded to detail the circumstances of the assault, and concluded by stating that he had never seen Mr. Stott before, and defied him to assign any reason for having committed so very brutal and unprovoked an assault. Mr. Stott be- ing- called upon for bis defence, said, if the Magistrates would have granted a private hearing, lie would have given a full explanation of his conduct; but he could only say that the affair had originated in a mistake, for which he was very sorry. lie was then bound over to appear at the next Sessions; himself in £ 100, and two sureties in £ 50 each.— Manchester Guardian. IMPORTANT TO DISSENTERS. At the Hants Quarter Sessions a case came on for decision— The Rev. R. Bleasley^ Appellant, v. The Poor's Rates of New Alresford, Respondents— which oxeited particular interest, not only in Alresford, but throughout the county. It appeared, that about Oct. 18* 25, a Meeting- house had been erected at New Aires- ford, by voluntary subscription, to the amount of about £ 1000, raised chiefly among Dissenters of the Inde- pendent denomination ; and that the appellant had, since that time, officiated as the Minister. Towards the close of the year 1826, the parish officers determined to assess the Chapel to the Poor Bate, and accordingly inserted in the rate the name of Mr. Blessley, as the " Chaplain for the Chapel." Remonstrances were im- mediately made on the part of the Dissenters. The impropriety of the assessment was strongly urged, but the determination of the parish officers was not to he affected; and they accordingly, for the first rate, distrained for the amount, and took the candlesticks, and other articles, from the Chapel— To the second rate the same resistance was made ; and they seized the bridle and saddle of ihe Minister, to discharge the rate. After the second seizure, and when a third rate was about to be made, Mr. Blessley requested the inter- ference of the Committee of the Society, in London, called " The Protestant Society for the Protection of Religious Liberty," who immediately took up the cause and, through their Secretaries, instituted, at the last October Sessions, an appeal against the rate made in June. When the appeal was about to he tried, however, the parish officers appeared to quash their own rate, and an order to that effect was accordingly made by those Sessions, and allow ing costs to the appellant. In September, however, they again rated Mr. Blessley, as the k< Chaplain for the Chapel ;" and he again entered the appeal, which on Wednesday came on to he heard The case is important to Parish- officers, because by it they are to be guided as to the course they should adopt, relative to the assessment of the meeting- houses of Protestant Dissenters; and it is important to Dissenters, because, in the decision upon this appeal, they have additional authority for maintaining their non- liability to such assessments, and for resisting any attempts to impose such burthens, w herever made, ex- cept there be those particular grounds of assessment - which the law requires. For these reasons, we have taken cure to procure a full and accurate report of the proceedings. Mr. Dampier and Mr. Smirke were counsel for the appellant; and Mr. Missing, jun. and Mr. Poulter for the respondents. In opening the case in support of the rate, Mr. Missing stated, that he should commence by alone proving-, that the formal requirements of the law, as to the making- and publishing ihe rate, fiad been complied with, and should leave the Counsel for the appellant to establish his non. liability under the rate as made. He then called the necessary witnesses, who proved those points ; and having called upon the Counsel for the appellant to open the case, Mr. Dampier immediately took an objection, that the respondents had not made out a case, inasmuch as they had not proved occupation by the appellant, or his liability to the rate in any particular, but had merely proved the formal making of the rate. Mr. Poulter was heard in reply, but the Chairman decided, that the respondents were certain! v obliged to shew the liability of Mr. Blessley, which they had omitted to do. Mr. Poulter then called several witnesses, to endeavour to prove that profits were derived by pew- rents, and that there- upon a rate would attach. The evidence, however, given by these witnesses, Messrs. James Calvert, J. B. Austen, W. Callaway, and others, clearly proved, that no pews were let, that no money was received, except through voluntary subscription', that Mr. Blessley was supported by the Hampshire Association of Dissenting Ministers of the Independent denomination, w ho added to the £ 20, collected by subscription, such an annual payment as was requisite for the support and respecta- bility of the Minister: that all the pews were quite open to the inhabitants of the town, and that no demands were contemplated, or profits made. During the examination of the witnesses by the Counsel, the greatest interest appeared to be felt by the Chairman and the Bench, nearly all of whom occasion- ally put questions, tending to elicit the facts. Mr. Poulter, having summed up the evidence given > y the witnesses, argued as to the general tendency of the whole, and expressed his opinion, that the rate could still he. maintained. Mr Dampier then remarked upon many informalities upon the face of the rate, which, in law, he held to he " » tal to the rate, but preferred to invite the opinion of the Bench, before he began his case, whether that of the respondents was sufficiently tenable to require from, him a reply. The Bench then consulted, and, after some minutes, the Chairman said, that in his opinion the rate could not he sustained. He thought that the officers had failed in shewing the liability of the Rev. Gentleman w ho was the appellant, and had therefore failed in their ntlempted support of the rate. There were two reasons why he could not but decide against the rale. First, because it was not shewn that any pews were let, or any profits derived from the Chapel ; on the contrary, the evidence shews that no pews are let, and that no profits are derived : and that as to the rag of the paper relied on by the respondents as having been sent by one of the friends of the Chapel, as to the payment due, he thought no weight could be attached to it. But, secondly, he was of opinion, that even if the respondents had established the letting of pews, the rate could not be supported, because there was no evidence that Mr. Blessley profited by those monies; as, on the contrary, it was established that all monies subscribed towards Ihe Chapel were accounted for to the Treasurer of the County Association, by w hom Mr. Blessley was sent as the Minister. For these reasons, he himself decided in favour of the appellant ; hut as there might be, pos- sibly, a difference of opinion among his brother Ma^ is- rates, he would direct their opinions to be taken , jow n ; such having , been done, and six Magistrates paving declined to vote, there were found to he ten against the rate, and one in its favour. 7' lie rate was, therefore, quashed, with costs to the appellant. Mr. Dampier then rose, to move to lodge and adjourn another appeal, by the same gentleman, against another rate, since made in November, and in which he should be prepared to proceed next Sessions. Mr. Missing then rose, and said that he was instructed to consent that such rate should also be quashed this Sessions, in preference to a new contest. This rate was also quashed accordingly, with costs to the appellant. A correspondent at Frorne informs us of a curious scene which occurred in Frome church on Sunday last, when Sir T. S. Champneys, Bart, of Orchardleigh, took Upon himself the humble office of sexton, during the whole of the Morning Service. Prayers were read on the occasion by the Rev. Mr. Daniel, and a most impressive sermon from the Rev. Mr. Harward followed. The church was crowded to excess in every part. Sir T. C. afterwards consigned the keys of office to Mr. G Higgins, as his deputy, and after service a peal of bells struck out from the tower, and was repeated on the following day.— Btith Herald. ON THE VARIOUS USES OF RHUBARB STALKS. — By Mr. James Luckcocft, of Edgbaston, near Birmingham.— Since the publication of the docu ments in the Monthly Magazine, [ for September 1817, August 1818, and November 1819, by Mr. Luckcock,] the increase of produce and demand iti this neigh- bourhood, has been twenty- fold, perhaps fifty; and I feel a proud gratification, when I am sometimes told that this increase has probably been chiefly owing to my statements. This has induced me to continue my observations, and to endeavour to point the public attention to its various merits. I need not appeal to the experience of others for its delicious flavour, but I can, from long attention, pronounce it to be equal to the choicest of our fruits in its effects on the human frame during the sultry months of the summer, being cooling, and slightly cathartic. 1 cannot recommend a more palatable or wholesome article, and more especially if taken cold in hot weather, than the pies we use in our family. With a little yeast put into the crust, we have it light and porous, about an inch or a » inch and half thick. This I believe to be the only kind of pastry that is good for the stomach, and decidedly so for that of an invalid ; and there are few constitutions so feeble or delicate, but what may freely partake of it without any fear of bilious consequences, or of any flatulence or indigestion. It continues its produce in the gardens from the beginning of May to the end of August, and has another great advantage, that it will make an excellent preserve for the winter. It should not, however, be suffered to grow too old before it is cut; like every other vegetable, there is a point in its age when it is at its highest perfection. We cut it into squares, put it on a pan in single layers, and then place u iu an oven so moderate in its heat, as to require about twelve hotird for the process ; it should have a very small portion of its moisture left ; and then we put it into wide- mouthed' bottles, with about a fifth or a sixth part of its weight of brown sugar. If, in the course of a day or two, the dissolving of the sugar produces a" small supply of liquid, the quantity of moistuie is right, and by frequently shaking the bottle for a week or two, the article will be good for use, till the gardens give their next supply. The bottles should be covered with bladder. 1 had supposed, from the great quantity of liquid contained in rhubarb stalks, that it might supply a new cider, but find, on ( rialr that it contains so little of any saccharine matter, that it will not ferment. I, however, made some wine from the juice without any water, and have a few bottles left of ten years' vintage, and it is really very good ; but, like all the home- made wines, it is neither more nor less than sugar wine, seasoned with the flavour which gives the name.— From Loudon's Gardener's Magazine. HEIGHT OF WAVF. S.— So awful is the spectacle OF a storm at sea, that it is generally viewed through a medium which biases the judgment; and, lofty as waves really are, imagination pictures them loftier still'.- Now, no wave rises more than ten feet above the ordinary sea- level, which, with the ten feet that its surface afterwards descends below this, give twenty feet for the whole height, from the bottom of any water- valley to an adjoining summit. This proposi- tion is easily verified, by a person who tries at what height on a ship's mast the horizon remains always in sight over the top of the waves, allowance being made for accidental inclinations of the vessel, and for her sinking in the water so much below her water- line, at the time when she reaches the bottom of the hollow between two waves. The spray of tlie sea, drivers along by the violence of the wind, is, of course, much higher than the summit of the liquid wave; and a wave coming against an obstacle, may dash to a great elevation above it. At the Eddystone lighthouse, when a surge breaks, which has been growing under a storm all the way across the Atlantic, it dashes even oyer Ihe lantern at the summit - Arnotfs Elements of Physics. i MIMIC GOLD.-^- A gentleman at Leghorn has invented a new metallic compound, which he calls Artimomantico, resembling gold in colour and weight. . Snuff boxes made of it are mistaken for pure gold. It is of the same weight as gold of 1& carats, and can be made like that of 24. At a manufactory of it established at Bologna, buttons are made of it at a very cheap rate, and when new they resemble the most highly gilt buttons. The artr- momantieo is soft, and bends ; and has a gnat superiority to other gold- coloured metals in not tarnishing. A metallic alloy for plating iron and protecting it from rust, has been invented by the same gentleman. It i3 easily and cheaply applied, forms an amalgama with the iron, penetrates somer depth, and effectually protects it from rust. This properly it derives from its refusing to unite with oxygen at common temperatures or everr when artificially heated. It is formed out of many- metals. It does not increase the hardness of the article to which it is applied, nor does it efface the finest lines on the surface. It does not injure the temper of knives. F'our ounces « > f this composition are sufficient to cover an iron bedstead. A company with a large capital, has been already formed at Bologna for coating iron work ; and they are now drawing out plates, which can be united to- one another by beat, without any injury to the coating. ORNITHOLOGY.— On Thursday last, there was shot in the Humber, near Whitton Sands, as fine a- specimen of the wild swan as ever came under the observation of the ornithologist. The plumage of this beautif > 1 bird was of a pure and spotless white throughout ; the down, covering the breast a » 4 back, being of remarkable depth and fine texture. The quill feathers of the wings were of extraordinary size^ and the feet presented a web of such expanse, as must have endued the bird with immense power in the wafer. The wings, when extended, measured, from tip to tip, eight feel ; from the point of the brW to the extremity of the claws, five feet six inches; ami the whole weight of the bird was twenty. four pounds. A flock of eight, we understand, were observed in the river, one of which was killed fiom a boat, by a man who attends the'ferry. He fired at the flock from a long distance, with a large dock piece. Upon examination, it was found that the creature bad been struck in the neck by a single corn, which had penetrated the oesophagus, and produced an internal effusion of blood, causing suffocation. WARWICKSHIRE SESSIONS, JANUARY 15.— William Holmes and William Fellows were indicted for having, on the night of the 30th of August last, unlawfully entered a certain close or barley stubble, of Sir George Chetwynd, Bart, situate in the parish of Polesworth, in this county, with intent illegally to destroy and kill game. After witnesses had been examined in support of the charge, Sir George Chetwynd, having previously stepped down from the Magisterial Bench, and taken his seat by his Counsel, on being examined, said his men ( the last witnesses) were before him on the morning of August 31st, and were dreadfully beaten and bruised, so much so, that he should not have known one of them, although he had been iu his employment for three years. There had been a surgeon to dress their wounds, but that surgeon was not now in Court. The wounds on his man's head were long and deep. ( The Hon. Bart, took hold of the head of a young Barrister, who sat near him, and made several diagrams upon the sinciput, byway of illustration, to the Jury and Chairman ) — In the cross examination, by Mr. Hill, Sir George made a motion to have a loan of the same head for further explanation; but the owner, blushing, declined, signifying that, as he had not a brief from Sir George, he should not lend the use of his head to be the subject of a lecture upon craniology.—( This was a scene!— It was impossible to keep a grave countenance.)— The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against the prisoners, and they were sentenced to seven years' transportation. Out of 151 prisoners for trial at these Sessions, now terminated, 12 were committed for poaching—^ a number quite extraordinary in this comity.
