Timber, Poles, § Saplings, Earl Grey alluded, in the House of Lords, on Tuesday night, to a statement made the night before in the House of Commons, by Mr. Peel, in answer to Sir Kobert . Wilson. His Lordship understood Mr Peel to have said that no informa- tion had reached his Majesty's Ministers as to any such actual change as that alluded to by Sir Robert Wilson, or as to any actual declaration of war having been issued by Russia against Turkey. Mr. F& el purposely abstained from entering into any comments upon the observations with which Sir Robert accompanied his questions, and coofined himself strictly to such official answers as he could give consistently with his duty. Mr. Peel was understood to reply, that with respect to the changes assumed to have taken place in the re- lations between Russia and Turkey, his Majesty's Government were not in possession of any official information— no declaration of war by Rnssia against Turkey had been received. The Earl of Dudley's reply to Earl Grejr was fuller, but still his Lordship said that no official accounts had been received. He allowed that certain intentions had been announced on the part of Russia, which very mlich diminished the chance of preserving peace between Russia aud the Porte. Gdvernment, however, had as yet received no aecounts of those intentions having been carried into effect. Our hope of maintaining peace between Russia and the Porte had much diminished since the time when his Majesty's communication was made on the first day of the Session ; but no aeeoant had yet beeu received of peace having been actually violated. By American papers lo the 2d instant, it appears thai a desperate action had been fought ou the 10l. li nil. between the Mexican brig of war Guerrero, 2' 2 guns, and two Spanish men of war brigs, one of 18 guns aud 180 riien,- the other of 10 guns and 130' men, boili of which she beat off, aud they escaped lo Meriel. The Lfallad frigate, of 54 guns and 50( j men, at ( he Havaunah, heari i g the firing immedi- ately put to sea, and coming: up with the Guerrero engaged her two hours and twenty minutes before she struck her colours. Captain Porter ( nephew of the late American Commodore), who commanded the Mexican brig, was killed, with 49 of the crew. The loss of the Spaniards is stated at £( 5t) killed^ and the frigate much cut in her hull and rigging. NPH E Commissioners, for carrying into JL Execution the Act, 4th Geo. IV.

IRELAND, The Roman Catholics have recently, at the 8u£- geslion of Mr. O'Cotmell, & c. established ChufcTi- wardens for themselves; Wfeoj from every parish, make weekly returns of all occurrences, such as arise, they say, from landlords' persecutions, Bible reading- and Biblical schools, aud the proceedings and assessments of the vestries authorised by law. They likewise are charged to superintend the col- lectiort and traiisaiisgiori to Dublin of tlie levy, called. the Catholic Rent, to which they state that the very beggars contribute. The collectors who act under them are very numerous, forming a regu- lar and serious organization. Part Of the duties' of these provincial officers is to read after Mass every Sunday, to the assembled parishioners at the cha- pels, the reports of the proceedings of the Roman Catholic Association, as detailed in the weekly register furnished to each Warden, aud paid for out of the rent.— Sorry are we to observe some manp testation^ of evil consequenteS already attending this progress of factious audacity. On St. Patrick's day we find in the North of Ireland several out- rages, with loss of Itfe, arising from processions with music, aud somewhat of military parade. At one plaee( called Crossgar, as detailed in the Bel- fast News Letter, they formed a combined body of several parties, drawn up in a line of four men deep, and nearly a mile iu length. After alternate murches and counter marches, they repaired to a field, where a Priest, from a stcine " altar, delivered to them an oration iu praise of St. Patrick.

FRIDAY. A good deal of niisCcllaiieo- UK business wn* transacted in both Houses of Parliament. In the Lords, Earl DarklbY gave notice of a motion on the state of Iieland for the 25th of next mouth; and. the two bills introduced by the Marquis of LANSDOWNK went through a committee.— In tlie Commons the bill to repeal the Test and Corporation Acts was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Peiirhvii Dis- franehvsement Bill was further considered in com- mittee, and ordered for its third reading* also on Monday— In the course of the discussion on this latter bill, Mr. WARHUJITON suggested the propriety of establishing, in the regulation of the elections which are to take place at Manchester,, the plan of Voting by ballot Mr. PERL, in answer to the MIJ> gestion, said, that he hoped he should never seethe day when it would be necessary for the Electors of Great Britain to '/ give their votes by secret ballot — a sentiment which was received by cheers. The propo- sition was not persevered in. LO N DON— SAT URDAY. The French Journals of Friday, received last Tright, mention that two other distinguished officers, General Stubbsand Count Taipa, had left Portugal; but no mention is made of Don Miguel having as- sumed or accepted the title of King, as has been re- ported. The Russian Declaration, as it has been called, has at length come to hand. It appears in the Journal deSt. Petersburghof the 11th inst. In this document Russia distinctly avows her determination to seek from Turkey redress for the wrongs of which she complains. She rests her justification on the Turkish Manifesto itself, and she enumerates various acts on the part of the Porte of open viola- tion of subsisting treaties, and of every principle of international law. For these wrongs she demands " a complete and prompt reparation and she adds, that while she pursues with her Allies the liegocia- tious necessary to give effect to the Treaty of Lou- don, she " will find means to obtain, with ihe aid of God, this indispensable reparation." Vienna Papers to the 19th inst. bring accounts from Constantinople to the 24th of February; they state that further persecutions of the Christians have taken place in that city, and that all the Jews, with the exception of the two bankers of the Court, have been ordered to wear the Turkish costume. On the 22d of February, sixty individuals belonging to the richest families were sent to Scutari, to be conveyed to Angora, and all their property has been con- fiscated.— The unhappy Armenians have been ex- posed to the most abject misery in their journey to the places of their exile. Eleven thousand families are stated to have been driven from Constantinople, and of this number four thousand only had reached Angora. Thousands are supposed to have perished in the mountainous snow s of Nicomedia. It is strongly reported in quarters which have good means of information, that the Turks are willing to obtain a suspension of arms for three mouths, during which the Bosphorus is to be open to all vessels. It is even added that our Govern- ment is going to send Lord Stuart to Constantinople, and that Mr. Stratford Canning is to proceed to Vienua.—- Sun.

It is reported that the military force now collect, ing in different parts of Fi ance is not intended to act in the Mo re a, but is to be sent against Algiers. Putting, however, the question aside as in this sense it regards foreign importation, I would be ® your Lordships to look to Ireland, and see the consequences of the waiVt ( if encouragement to agriculturists there.— That country ' now supplies us with . about two millions of quarters of grain of different descriptions, of which, in the course of last year, the supply of wheat was not less than four hundred thousand quarters. M Y Lords, I beg your Lordships to look- to that which I might almost say- is the oolv — at least one of the Mo only — manufactures of- Ireland. If you were to reduce the duty to the low dej> re:, tt would be to deprive yon of that plenty hitherto enjojed, I have stated that the gentlemen of this coui. tiy have by the expense of their capital and the labour employed, tailed the agricultural state to that high condition in which it stands — and nothing would be more unjust than to take from them the protection which enabled them to bring the country to a state so desirable, and deprive them of those rents which are their due from the capital they have laid out. My Lord*, I say the merchants, the manufacturers, the poOf, and the whole public, are interested in the maintenance of this independent, condition of the country. The nobility — the gentry— way, I say the Government itself are interested in supporting it, from the ad vantage* derived from its condition. I say, then, that even if 1 could believe that I could make grain cheaper by withdrawing from it the protection it now receives, I ' would not do it at such an expense to the interest of the country at large, and therefore hope that system will be thrown from our consideration al- together. The other system differs from this in being the contrary extreme — it is one of entire prohibition, which I must say is greatly- to be complained of, and scarcely Jess objectionable than that to which 1 have adverted T he truth, my Lords, is, it cannot be carried strictly into execution, without exposing the country to the greatest inconvenience, first from want, next from a superabundance of grain in the country, at a time when we might want to " be re- lieved from it, and next by a depression of prices, both as affecting the corn of this country, and that brought from abroad.— Such inconveniences, the country could only be relieved from by the interference of government, or by the Ministers of the Crown Coming to Parliament to get it 11• enact laws for the purpose. The Noble Duke, after some further observa- tions, proceeded to give his scale of duty : viz. That any sort of corn, grain, meal, or flour, which may now by law* be imported into the United Kingdom, should be admissable for home use upon payment of the following duties, viz. if imported from any foreign country : — " WHEAT. " Whenever the average price of wheat, made up and published in the manner required by law, shell be 6* 2s. and under 63s. the quarter, the duty shall be for every quarter £ l. 4s. 8d. tvAnd in respect of every integral shilling, by which such price shall he above 62s. such duty shall he decreased by js. until such price shall be 67s.; and in respect of every integral shilling, by which such price shall be above 66s. such duty shall be de- creased by 2s. until such price- shall be 69s.; and in respect or every integral shilling by which such price shall be above 68s. such duty shall be decreased by 3s. until such price shall be 74s.; and in respect of every integral shilling by which such price shall be above 70s. such duty shall be decreased by 4s. until such price shall he 73s. u Whenever such price shall be at or above 73s. the duty for every quarter shall be Is. " Whenever such price shall be under 62s. and not under 64s. the duty shall be for every quarter £ 1.5s. 8d ; and in respect of each integral shilling, or any jvart of each integral shilling, by which such price shall be under 61s. such duty shall be increased by Is" Lord FALMOUTH said he considered the proposed scale of duty inadequate to the protection of the agri- cultural iuteiest ; the events of the last year, and the state of the markets, bad shewn bow much the agri- cultural interest bad been vilified and their condition misrepresented on former occasions ; and he was sorry to learn that the proposed measure of protection was only to the extent of 4s. more favourable to the British agriculturist than the rejected meusure of last year.

To enumerate the many hair- breadth escapes Mr. Sadler has met with in bis various excursions would far exceed our limits ; but it is allowed by all, that the most splendid accent ever witnessed was the one from- the University t- n the year 1810, on the Installation of Lord Grenvilje.

The marriage of Archdeacon Bather, to Mis Butler, which took place on Thursday last, was the occasion of much rejoicing in tlii* town,. and in the adjoining parish of Meole Brace; lit which latter place, the principal parishioners took the oppor- tunity thus afforded of testifying, by various acts of benevolence and conviviality, their high respect for their deservedly- esteemed Vicar and his happy Bride. On Wednesday evening, a deputation from the young gentlemen under Dr. Butler's tuition, waited on Miss Butler, to present to her an elegant frosted and embossed Silver Epergne ( or Candelabra) beau- tifully ornamented with a band of grapes and vine leaves, a rich basket of grapes and vine leaves in frosted silver forming the base of the epergne, from which spring the branches to hold lights or glasses; the whole comprising 105 ounces of silver.— This beautiful piece of art cost 75 guineas, and was the result of a spontaneous sub- scription among the scholars under Or. Butler's tuition, and of their anxiety to testify, by this mark of respect, their high esteem for one who formed so amiable and endearing* a portion of Archdeacou Butler's family. On Thursday afternoon, about 80 gentlemen and tradesmen sat down to a most elegant dinner at the Talbot Inn, in this town, in celebration of the happy event.— After the cloth was removed, the healths of the Happy Couple— Archdeacon and Mrs. Butler— Mrs. J. T. Lloyd— Thorpas Butler, Esq.— with those of the Gentlemen connected with the School, were drank with enthusiast!? ; and the company did ample justice to the excellence of the wines, & c. The Bells of the several churches in the town rang throughout the day; in the evening Mr. Vaughan presented the inmates of St. Mary's Alms- houses with a quantity of tea, & c. in order that they may partake in the hilarity of the occasion ; and at night there was a grand display of fire- works, and ascent of a balloon, & c. from the play- ground of the Royal Free Grammar School. THE KING'S LEVEK.— On Thursday last, His Majesty held his first Levee for this season ; and it was most numerously and brilliantly attended.—- Among the numerous presentations were— Ilear- Admiral Sir E. W. C. R. Owen, on his appointment to the Council of the Lord High Admiral; Mr. T. Myddclton Biddulph, on his appointment to the Ist Life Guards; Mr. Frederick West, on his marriage; Colonel Hill, of the Horse Guards, on his promotion; the Rev. Herbert Oakeley; the Hon.

Thynne; General Lethbridge; Colonel Hill; Mr. Daw kins Pennant; & c.& c. On- Wednesday, the 19th ult. three colts, in a field belonging to Mr". Guy, of Abb Kettleby, near Melton Mowbray, were found dead. On their being opened by Mr. Brown, veterinary surgeon, if was found that arsenic had been given to them, mixed with hay,, in a hovel in the field.

" By order of the Magistrates, JOH1S' PERRY, High Constable of Seisdon South. JOHN NO KRIS, High Coustable of Seisdon North. March 25th, 1828.'' Whether the efforts of the beaks will have the effect of preventing the intended fight, is a matter of question, and of much interest among the sporting circles. Sampson took a benefit at the Tennis Court, on the 24th ult. which was attended by a respectable muster of amateurs.—- A London Paper says, " The Members of the P. R. were, as usual, shy in their attendance, and the sparring was therefore limited. The performances were wound up by a set- to be- tween Sampson and Tom Oliver. The double hit of Phil, with his left hand, and his one- two, were well exhibited in this turn; but some allowance ought to be made for age against youth. Sampson appears in excellent condition, and as fresh as a lark. He looks confident to win with Brown, upon whom the odds of 2 to 1 are by no means so current as they were; but 6 and 7 to 4 may be had to any amount. Sampson returned to Birmingham on M on da v."

My Lords, your Lordships arc well aware that there are a variety of opinions on this subject throughout the country. Some of those opini- ons reach both the extremes. I have considered it my duly anil my colleagues have considered it to he theirs, in the measure we are about to propose, to endeavour to steer a: course between those two extremes, and to bring* forward a measure that will conciliate, if possible, HII parties, anil be favourable to the public at large. My Lords, this country lias been brought into its present high state of cultivation by the protection Parliament has afforded to agriculturists, and which has induced gentlemen to lay out their capital in the cultivation ol estates and in bringing in lands formerly waste. The efl'cct of tl. fi system of those who are for the low rate of duty, would he to throw those poor Innds again out of cultivation — to discotnng- e cultivation generally — and to diminish the productive powers of this country. Finally it would leave the countrv dependent on the ag- ricul.' urists of foreign parts. M\ Lords, I fchull not exaggerate the consequence of such a system as this, but I beg* your Lordships to recollect the consequences that might result, if the pow ers of. the dominions from which our supplies were to he derived, were to think proper to lay a heavy tax on their ex- ports— fipori their transits to this country. 1 entreat your Lordships to consider what would he the conse- quences of sibch a measure, and which I would say, parties might be highly justified in adopting.

SHROPSHIRE LENT ASSIZE.— We hare, in OUR 4th page, completed our Assize Intelligence, by inserting a few cases, at Nisi Prius and on the Crow n Side, which we were compelled to postpone last week, by a pressure of advertisements^ & c. We perceive that a report, purporting to be a statement of the important case, " Oldnall and Wife versus Deakin and Wolley," has been given in several of the London Papers; of which, in justice to all parties, w e think it right to observe not one single sentence is correct.— The statement of the case, as given in the Courier and other Loudon Papers, to which we have alluded, is altogether a mass of error.— The descent of the family, and the case of the parties, was correctly stated in our last Journal. We mentioned in our last, that in the actions u. Walton r. Darlington," and " Darling- eon v. Walton," the parties agreed that jurors should be withdrawn. We are informed that the case " Darlington v. Walton," was the original action, and the other the cross action. On Tuesday se'nnight, as Mr. Wilkinson, sen. and Mr. Wilkinson, jun. the two principal clerks of Mr. Baron Vaughan, were proceeding in a postrchaise on their way from Shrewsbury to Hereford, their post- boy drove, into a ditch, and they were over- turned, happily without receiving much hurt Shortly after this, Mr. Baron Vaughan came up in his travelling carriage and four, and his Lordship's postillions seeing the two gentlemen standing in the road with their chaise overturned, pulled up rather suddenly for the purpose of rendering them assist- ance, when the chaise of Mr. Talfourd, the Barrister, which was immediately followiug the carriage of the Learned Baron, not being stopped with suffi cient promptitude, struck against his Lordship's carriage, with very considerable violence. By this, the carriage of the Learned Baron received a good deal of damage, aud one of the servants was much hurt, but we are happy to say that his Lordship sustained no personal injury. In Herefordshire, the country is looking remark ably well. The spring is very forward, and the ex- treme mildness of the season has been very favour able lo the lambs. With respect to the apple- trees, it is too early to form any opinion, as the blossom has not yet begun to show itself. On the 15th ult. was purchased, by Mr. Carter, of the Hen and Chickens, in this town, 9 couples of ducks, only 4 months old, and weighing from 8 to 9 pounds per couple, from Mr. Ellesmere, of Arlscot. It appears by the poor- rates returns for the year ending 26th March, 1827, that the rate of increase in the sum raised in Worcestershire ( compared with 1826), was 6 per cent,; Gloucestershire, 1.1; Here- fordshire, 23 Salop, 5; StuiibrdshirejlSj Y^* wick- shire, 9. On Wednesday last, as a gentleman was passing on the road near Hinton Bushes, in the parish of Tarrant. Gunville, Dorset, his attention wasattracted to a rook, which he saw flying swiftly close to the ground, and occasionally turning in its flight; upon closer inspection, he perceived that the bird was pursuing a young leveret, which it unceasingly followed in all its doublings, till the little timid animal became totally exhausted; the rook then pounced on it, struck it on the head with its beak, and killed it; at this moment aeveral other rooks flew to the spot, and would, doubtless, have joined in devouring the leveret, had not the gentleman hastened to the spot and taken their prey from those voracious birds. The leveret, which was half growu3 was brought by the gentleman to Salisbury. We are sorry to announce that a disagreement has taken place between the masters and . weavers in Kidderminster, on account of an attempt to lower the wages. On Tuesday last, from one to two thousand men paraded through the town to the residence of one of the manufacturers, whose win- dows were broken, and other damage done; we do not hear of any further mischief.— The working people labour under a mistake when they think thev are injuring their employers by destroying their property, as any one to whom injury is done, has, by a late Act of Parliament, a very summary way of proceeding, where the damage is under £ 30, by applying to a Magistrate, who is directed to cause the High Constable to summon the other Magistrates residing within the hundred to a meeting, where, on proof of the damage done, the amount of the loss sustained will be ordered to be paid by the Trea- surer of the County.

This, perhaps, is seldom more noto- riously and publicly conspicuous than in the failure of the late Bill in the House of Commons respecting the Salmon Fisheries. Mr. Whitmore ( with more zeal, perhaps, than policy and address fitted to the times) was about to regulate and resuscitate the fisheries in general, and, consequently, the selfish and monopolizing views and interests of the king- dom were directly opposed to bis measure; they took alarm, and, assisting each other in and out of the House, against the invader of their pretended and assumed privileges and rights, have obtained a temporary, but not at all a deserved and laudable, success. When I Consider the ability and spirit of perseverance of the mover of the Bill, I am much inclined to believe the subject will again arrest attention; and in a shape to excite our particular notice and regard. The issue of a private Bill, though more expensive, is more directly to our interests, and more certain. I remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, TESTIS.

THE GAME LAW. S.— The Lords' Committee ou the Game Laws have reported :— That the laws which prohibit the sale aud purchase of game have lie ri found to be inefficient, aud to linve been evaded and set at defiance.— That they ought to be so altered as to permit game to'be jawfiilly sold.— That the laws which confine the right of sporting to persons having certain qualifications, by birth or estate, should be amended. — That all persons occupying ten contiguous acres or more of laud should be deemed to be qualified lo sport upon such land, with the consent of the owner; aud that ail owners of tf* u contiguous acres .' should be deemed qualified to spoit upon such lands.— That all persons now qualified should hare the right to permit any person, qualified or not, lo sport upon their lands. That all lords of manors should have the right lo permit any person, qualified or not, to sport upon waste or commonable land.— That as the legal sale and purchase of game will invest that arliqle with the character of property, it appears to be just that l. t should be protected from trespassers by niore. suipnia. ry means than at present exist, that such trespassers, qualified or not, should be subject to a fine, by a magistrate ; always excepting such trespasses as may be committed in coursing nod hunting in recent pursuit.— That the proposed alterations iu the law should not interfere with any existing rights.— That the practice of going out by night to poach in large gangs has very much increased of late years, and has in very numerous instance's led lo the commission of murder and other grievous offences; that the. only statute which refers specially lo this practice is that of the 57th George HI. c. 90, which should be revised. IRELAND.— Another outrage af tlw Ribbonists.—' RIOT AT C'OLF. RAINE— A correspondent, on whose veracity we rely, has informed us, that, a few days prior to the anniversary of St. Patrick, some Orangemen received, by the Coleralne Post Office, a letter from a body of Ribbonmen, announcing their intention to appear on the morning of that Saint's day in Coleraine, with an eiSgy of King William, which they threatened to place under another of King Dan. O'Connell, which was to bestride the monarch for a short time. The figure of William was then to be hanged and burned. The Orangemen, in order to prevent the menaced indignity, assembled at the appointed time and place in considerable force. The Ribboumen, however, who had collected their forces from all parts of the country within eight miles of Coleraine, came on in immense numbers', armed \ Vith cudgels, spades, & c. and gave battle to the Wiliiamites. The conflict which ensued was dreadful. Many of both parties were severely injured— some bad their skulls fractured. After a very obstinate contest, the Ribbonmen, who were far superior ill number to their antagonists, were completely routed. Both parties had drums and fifes. The Orangemen marched to battle to the tune of " Boyne Water'— the Ribbontneo to that of " Patrick's Day."— Guardian. Anonymous Letters.— In an nrtion for slander recently tried in the Jury Court, in Scotland, a gentleman of the nanle of Ktngaii, a merchant in Glasgow, recovered damages to llie amount of £ 500 from Mr. Robert Watson, a banker in Glasgow, for having described the plaintiff as the author of certain anonymous letters, which contained matter of ail obscene and abominable description highly injurious to the feelings of several respectable individuals. At the late meetingof the members of the Lyceum of Natural History at New York, there were pre- sented many specimens of natural history, among which was some clover seed, from the couutVy sur- rounding Mexico, where, owing to the favourable nature of the soil and climate, the clover attains a growth of four feet in the space of thirty days from the time of sowing the seed. Mr. Phillips, a professional gentleman of Louth, Lincolnshire, having committed forgeries to a large atnonnt, absfonded last week, and afterwards cut his throat at Hull, Unbounded confidence having been placed in his integrity, many families are totally ruined by his conduct. — County Chronicle. M. de Saint Vincent has, after repeated trials, discovered that the inclosing of wine in bottles, by parchment or a portion of common bladder, instead of corks, has the effect of rendering its flavour, In a few weeks, equal to that of the oldest wines : fro. rt such covering possessing the property of on'y allowing the aqueous exhalations to escape, but being wholly impenetrable to the spirit or body of the wine. Ou Tuesday morning last, between ten and eleven o'clock, a post- chaise from Chesterford, was driven into the yard of the Rutland Arms Inn, Newmarket. The door was immediately opened, but no one alight- ing, the waiter looked- in, and was horror- struck at seeing the body of a mail weltering in blood. Upon being removed into a room, his throat was found to have been cut in the most shocking manner, in'his left hand was a penknife, with which, no doubt, the fatal wound had been inflicted. He was an entire stranger, apparently about thirty years of age, of middling stature and handsome features. His dress was plain, and he had no luggage, not even a change of liuen. Some books of accouut and papers were found, from which, and the clothes upon his person, there is every reason to infer that the name of the unfortunate man is " James Barron," that the re- sidence of himself or his friends is at Timperley in Cheshire, and that he was related to the late Mr. Edward Barron, of Manchester, attorney at law. In his pocket was a pnrse containing a £ 10 Bank of England note, and one shilling. The postillion, who rode, stated that the deceased came alone that morning to the Crown at Chesterford, in a post- chaise from Hockeril, breakfasted, and then went in the same chaise to Newmarket, a distance of 16 miles. The postillion did not observe him during the journey, and was therefore unconscious of what had happened. The deceased was travelling, it is supposed, to Bury St. Edmund's. Nothing further has yet transpired.— Cambridge Chronicle. At Hereford Assizes, James Bowhslt was charged with stealing a horse, the property of Mr. Francis Pitt.— It appeared that in the month of December the prosecutor had turned his horse into a field at Farriugton, leaving the gate locked, and that he uext heard of his horse by means of an advertise- ment in the newspapers, which stated that the horse had been stopped at Abergavenny. It was proved by a person named Lloyd, that on the day after the horse was missed the prisoner offered it for sale at the price of seven guineas, but on Lloyd's offering the prisoner a sovereign for it, the latter said he would take thirty shillings, and they concluded a bargain at that price. Thisraised Lloyd'ssuspicions, and he Upon this gave the prisoner into custody, and advertised the horse.— The prisoner made no defence, but Mr. John Wood, a farmer, said that he had kuowu him fourteen years, and had always found him upright, honest, and true.— Verdict, Guilty.— Mr. Baron Vaughan said that this was a very bad offence, aud that the prisoner might rely on passing the rest of his life in a distant country. YORK ASSIZES.— In his Charge to the Grand Jury on Monday week, Mr Baroa Hullock express- ed his unfeigned regret to find that the crime of horse- stealing in the county of York had experi- enced no diminution. Unfortunately, the punish- ments inflicted oil those convicted of that otfenca had been unavailing in deterring othei' 3 from tha commission of the crime; therefore a different course must, of necessity, be pursued. However painful it was to administer the last extremity of the law, he was sorry to say, that in order to pro- tect that species of property, it was absolutely necessary to put the law in force to the utmost, which would certainly be the case on the present occasion.— Samuel Willis, aged 31, for stealing a mare at Ooucaster; John Todd, 45, for stealing a horse near Malton ; John Horner, 24, for stealing a galloway, which was found at Orinskirk; William Smith, 20, for stealing a horse iu Nottinghamshire; George Reggilt, for stealing a mare at Market Weighton ; John Marrott, for stea ing a horse at Leeds, and for stealing another horse at Leeds; were found Guilty.— in some of the cases the Jury recommended the prisoners to mercy, but the Judge said he could not attend to t! je recommendations. .

Died, on the 26th of February last, at Diuas Movvddy, in the 99th year of his age, Morgan Jones, otherwise named by his countrymen, Morgan bach i. e. little Morgan. He was born in the parish of Cat'tio, Montgomeryshire— married three wives in the parish church of Mallwyd. An extraoidinary contrast was formed between him and them. His last w ife, who had four children by him, the / shortest of those gigantic women, being a head taller than her dwarfish husband!!! In the prime of life, thoqgh not more than 4 feet G iuches high, he would carry a heavier load, walk a greater number of miles, mow more hay, and reap more corn, in a day, than most men iu the county. He also had a strong uatural propensity to follow sportsmen ; and by a peculiar quickuess of sight, he would, like a pointer, perceive a hare on its form at a great distance; aud frequently killed more game with his club than the sportsman did with his gun ! In one of those excursious, by rushing headlong into a furze bush, his hands beiug entangled iu the attack, he secured puss with his chops. His intellects, though not polished by education, were not dispro- portionate to his strong constitution. His retentive memory enabled him to relate the particulars ot important events that occurred eighty or ninety years ago, as correctly as if they had bappeued iu his later years! His circumstances, like those of ( he city* where he dwelt, were generally low. And for the last eight years of his life, owing to his long' illness, he was reduced to great poverty. He was a de- scendant of a respectable family; and, by relation- ship, the right heir of a valuable estate iu the county of Montgomery.

When the fight was ended, aud the officers were together, Lord Nelson, addressing the half- distracted Trowbridge, said, ' As the accident was to happen, I am glad it alighted upon you, for no man's re. potation could bear it better, or so well.' In like manner we have reason to believe that the greatest general of modern times is most desirous of pre- serving peace, is a decidedly pacific premier; and certainly no man's reputation can bear it better, or so well. — When our patriot King placed the ad- ministration of his government in the hands of the Duke of Wellington, he gave to his people ( even by the confession of his Grace's opponents) a guardian exempt from the ambition which would seek to raise, or the apprehension which might fear to lose; a reputation— he gave us also a guardian, whose vigilance can not be deceived by declarations aud professions, any more than could the sagacity of bis great prototype— Marlborough.— The Duke of Wel- lington having raised himself to the highest place in dignity and renown, can have uo personal object. It is scarcely a merit in hinr now that he can have no object but England: aud it is impossible that with his exalted understanding, with his intimate acquaintance with all the details of European policy, with his military genius, and his military experieuce, he can be over- reached in his eare of that object. Not only is every Cabinet of Europe open to his Grace's penetration, but w hat is scarcely of less importance to Great Britain, every European Cabinet knows that it is open to the British Minis ter. In such a case, when we have assurance that all that human wisdom can accomplish will be accomplished for the security of the national inter- ests, it would at first view seem presumptuous to offer any observation upon the course which is likely to be pursued, under the difficulties iu which a government in all respects utilike that of the Duke of Wellington, has involved the country. We are not, however, to forget tbat this is a nation of freemen, and that where the most implicit con- fidence is placed iu an administration, it is still the duty of the public to speak through all its organs, if it be only to give, abroad, the weight of the national voice to the efforts of the Ministry in which it puts its trust.— That the views of the Em- peror of Russia are directed to the occupation of the northern provinces of European Turkey, if uot to the whole, is, we apprehend, too certain. Let those who doubt that such is the case, consider what has been the policy of Russia during the last century. Let them also consider how much iucon- SAMD STOHHZ. The following description of a sand storm In the desert is particularly fine, and is taken from a new Eastern Tale, entitled " The Kuzzilbash, or a Tale of Khorassan:"— " It dawned at last ; and morning found me still in a wide and trackless waste of sand, which, as the sun arose, was only bounded by those flitting vapours which deceive tiie thirsty traveller with the belief that w ater is near, and have thence obtained the name of ' the water of the Desert.' In vain 1 looked for the marks by which my friend Seliin had taught me to recognize a place of refreshment. There was but too much cause to fear that I was now iu one of those terrible tracts of dry and moving sand, in which no water is ever found, and which sometimes, when set in motion by the wind, swallow up whole caravans and their conductors. Alas! the morning light, so earnestly expected, only dawned to prove that I was surrounded by dangers I had never dreamt of. The wind, which had blown so piercingly all night, lulled, as it generally does, towards morning; but the hazy vapour, loaded with light particles of sand, through which the sun rose red as blood, gave warning that the calm would not continue long ; nor had I pur- sued my course another hour before the roar of the Desert wind was heard, columns of dust began to rise iu the horizon, and the air became gradually filled with driving sand. As the wind increased, the whole plain around me, w hich had been heaped by former tempests into ridges, like the waves of a troubled sea, now got into motion; the sand blew from oft their crests, like spray front the face of the waters, and covered myself aud my horse with its dense eddies; while, often unable to distinguish the true course, my horse toiled over the ridges, siukiug up lo the very girths iu their deep battling substance. " 1 continued for some hours to persevere, Strug, gling against the fury of the gale, when my alarm became increased by observing that my horse, which hitherto had stood out with admirable per severance, even when his progress was the most painfully impeded by the deep sand, now became terrified and restive. He snorted, reared, and appeared unable, as well as unwilliug, to face the sharp drifting of the still increasing storm. Iu vaiu 1 soothed him^ or urged him on with heels and hand ; the animal, which hitherto had obeyed my voice almost like an intelligent being, now paid no at- tention either to caresses or blows. In the severe squalls that drove past at intervals, he fairly turned his back to them, and would not move; and even when the wind lulled for a little, he could hardly be forced to advance a step. " I scorned to yield my life without a struggle, yet saw uot the means of preserving it. To have abandoned my horse would have been, iu fact, to give up hope; for I could not proceed a single mile on foot; yet to remain stationary, as I was forced lo do by the terror of the animal, involved manifest destruction. Everything that ottered resistance to LAMENTABLE SHIPWRECK.— A gentleman who providentially escaped from the wreck gives the following melancholy particulars of the loss of th Venus steam vessel, during the dreadful storm of Tuesday night last. The Venus left Walerl'ord on Tuesday for Dublin. When she was about mid way off the coast, between Gorey and Arklow, in heavy gale of wind, part of her machinery broke, by which a large bolt was struck against her bottom • with such force that it passed through. She itn mediately began to fill with water; for some time all hands were at work at the puntps to keep dow the water, but when it grew dark, the captain mate, stew ards, and some of the sailors got into the boat, and left four of the sailors with all the pas sengers to their fate. Previous to the captain quitting the vessel she was but a mile from the shore, iu five or six fathoms water, and had he called on the sailors to drop the anchor, all would have been safe; but the wind and the tide carried her out about two milts before the passeugers thought of dropping it. They then endeavoured to do so, but it became entangled in the chains, and before they were able to free the anchor, it was too late to make use of it. The vessel filled fast, and in about an hour from the time the captain left her, she went down. Nine persons, five passengers and the four sailors, got up on the mainmast, the top of which was about four feet over the water. They clung to the ropes and masts as long as they could. Mr. Williams, of Ross, one of the passengers, al- though in such a perilous situation, most humanely endeavoured, at great personal risk, to preserve the life of a young widow. He held her up until she died from the excessive fright, fatigue, and the contiuual dashing of the water. He afterwards rendered assistance to a young man, a relation of his own, but he was also drowned by the waves o repeatedly washing over him. Mr. Williams then let him drop : at this moment, two sailors gave way, and sunk; however, we are happy to add that Mr. Williams, and four others, by most uncommon exertion, kept lo the mast until morning, when the waterguard boat ( which had put to sea when the Captain lauded) perceived them, and instantly rescued thetu from their dreadful situation.— Four women were lost— the number of men uot known. The negroes in the West Indies are very partial lo rats, and have denominated them Sir Charles Price, thereby commemorating an event that otherwise might have descended into oblivion. Sir Charles Price. it appears, was a great man in the country, at an early period after our taking it front the Spaniards. In his time there was a small speeics of rat which proved very destructive to the canes, and which was alsu thought lo be very prolific; in addition to wl » ich field mice wire very numerous and pretty destructive. This Sir Charles Price bad been told that there was a large- sized rat on the Mosquito shore, which was an eueiny lo every other speciis of rat, as well as lo mice, and though equally destructive as the small one, vvas said lo be less prolific. As a choice of two evils, we are directed to choose the lesser; therefoie, to get rid of the mice and small rats, which then pestered the colonists, he seul to the Mosquito shore, and had a number of the large ones imported. It answered the expectation in one respect, for it cleared the country, as it is generally supposed, of the small rats, and thinned the field mice ; bul it lias proved equally pro- lific wilh those il has exterminated. ad change fur a shilling; saw Massey again at 9 " clock in the evening of that day standing nearly ppo. ite his shop ; about an hour after he locked his ouse and went lo bed ; witness got up about 5 o'clock the next morning, and found both doors had been forced open by means of a crow- bar, and a piece was etuaittiug in the kitchen- door which had been broken ft'the iron- bar; lie then examined the shop, and the lawers of the counter aud desk had been forced, and bout £ 2 in silver and copper taken awav, also a small " tt box ( marked with the name of Rtispiui, Pull Mall, nd a coat of arms) which the prosecutor used to keep maggots and fishhooks in ; Robert Williams, constable, Shittual, received information respecting. the prisouei and went iu pursuit of them on the 16th Nov. ; witness found thetu at Upton Common, and had them brought lu ShifTunl; while at the White Horse in that place, they were both searched, when the tin box aud a whole candle were found on Mustey, and a steel crow- bar broken at the end ( which end cur responded with the liece left in the door of the prosecutor) found on Norton.— The Jury shortly after found Iheni guilty, and Judgment of Death was recorded against them— There was another indictment, charging the prisoners with breaking open the dwelling house of Surah Sillitoe, of Wellington, which was not entered into.

An unpleasant affair has taken place between he English fishers off' the coast of Jersey and two French vessels of war, which has led to serious onscquences, many lives having been lost. The collision arose out of a question wilh the French Government, which previously had been a subject > f serious discussion, concerning the rights of fishery on the coast of Normandy. About 300 sail of Eng- lish vessels are engaged in oyster- fishing on the cuBSt of Jersey, towards the French shore, and we understand they have been repeatedly wanted nut to approach within a certain distance of ihe French coast. These warnings have been lit lie attended to, and two French vessels of war, stationed in that quarter, captured and look into port an English boat. On this intelligence reaching Jersey, all the fishing smacks proceeded to Ihe French coast, retook the English boat, and brought her back in triumph lo Jersey. In this affair, one of Ihe boatmen vvas shot, aud three were taken prisoners, but have since been liberated ; as have three Frenchmen, taken wilh Ihe re- captured vessel. An inquest has been held on the body of Ihe man that was shot, and the following verdict returned—" The deceased, John Smith, was killed in consequence of a shot fired at him, intentionally, by Mr. Louvel, Com- mander of Ihe Gotland, while Ihe said Smith was in the art of gelling on board the Favourite, which lie considered bad been unlawfully seized." Some tinte since two notorious characters forced their way into a large wine and spirit cellar on the South bridge. They effected their entry by removing a window shutter, which they replaced so neatly as to obviate ail suspicion. Night after night Ihey visited the cellar, and carried off' quantities of Ihe liquors. Grand carnivals were frequently held in a noted house in Hastie's- close, and when " hot with the Tuscan grape," the wassailers sometimes differed among themselves, and broken hollies, broken chairs, and broken heads, were the consequence. Two of the gang were at length taken under circumstances very- likely to ensure them a vovage lo a distant country at Hie expense of his Majesty's government. Mr. Kirk- wood having got his clue, managed matters willt so much skill aud activity, that yesterday the whole gang, seven males and eight females, were remitted to the sheriff— Caledonian Mcrcury.

We understand that the Duke of Wellington is determined to get rid of the Exchequer, the busi- ness of which will merge into the Treasury, or, more properly speaking, into the Bank. At present the money arising from taxes is paid into the Exchequer, and from thence into the Bank. After the abolition of the Exchequer Office, it will be paid at once into the Bank, where it will be placed to the credit of the Treasury. By this arrange- ment a saving of about 70,000 a- year will be effected. The government, however, will lose some patronage, but this is an article which the present premier holds very cheap. The director- ships of the South Sea Company, another source of useless expense to the country, are also to be abolished.— Standard.

LAND TAX.—- It appears by the return presented to the House of Commons, that the total amount of land lax redeemed up to the 25lh of December, 1627, is £ 717,103 2s. lid. ___ _ _ _ After repeated trials, and an outlay of nearly sitting of twenty- five Noblemenand Members of the I £ 10,000, the " march" of the steam- coach is very expense, but agreed to order a bottle apiece, if bis wish was complied with. This proposition, of course, was acceded to, and all were attentive to the an- uouncement of the wonderful nostrum. u Let him HUN to Rumford and back, take a glass of brandy and water, and retire to bed,** said the wag, and if that don* t cure him, NOTHING will." On Friday an inqeust was held at the Bull Inn, Maidstone, on the body of Admiral Bazeley, who was discovered in the water closet with his throat cut, and a verdict returned of 44 Temporary Derangement."—• The decease of Admiral Bazeley has been caused and ttended- by peculiar circumstances. His son, the Rev. Mr. Bazeley, had brought on action against a Mr. Tompson, for a libel, alleged to have been con- tained in baud bills, published at Dover. The admiral and his lady were subpoenaed as witnesses against their son, which uaturally much distressed them ; and on Thursday they dined at the house of a friend near Maidstone. At the house of that friend deceased re- ceived an anonymous letter, which was found in bis pocket after his decease, with 44 this cursed letter will drive me mad," written on it by the admiral. On the night of Thursday, or rather the morning of Fri- day, the Admiral went down to the water- closet, and staying a long" time below, Mrs. Bazeley went down stairs, aud was agonized by the appearance of the blood streaming from under the door of the closet, and by finding her husband in the situation already stated. Medical assistance was instantly obtained, but in vain, as life was quite extinct. The admiral leaves four sons. NISI PRIUS. YATES v. PENSON. Mr. Yates, the plaintiff in this cose, is n nail, manufacturer in Osm * try ; the defendant, Mr. Penson, i* an architect re » i( Jii) g in tl: e same town. Last year, V] r, I'ensoil was altering or erecting some premiss in Oswefttry, and the plaintiff liaving agreed to supply tlie defendant wilh nails according lo a list of price wiih which he had furnished. the defendant, a series of deliveries of nails of various descriptions was carried on, for the use of the men employed at the premises in question, from the month of July lo the- middle of November lu> t. When the plaint iff sent in his bill of £ 11. 14s. ( hi. for the nails in question, no objection was made as to the'quantities delivered, but the defendant hy his clerk, tendered him 1' 9. 13 « alleging that tin difference iu these two amounts had been overcharged : this alleged overcharge was the ground of action ; and in sifting this point, Ihe Court was occupied for several hours ; when the Jury, after consulting together for some time, returned a verdict for the plaiutiff for the whole of his demand, BOTTERELL t. SUMMERS. The plaiuiiff, Mr. Bolleiell, is a respectable free- holder of the county ; Ihe defendant, Mr. Summers, is a draper of respectability, in the town of WenlockThi defendant had purchased a dwelling house and appur- tenances at Oldbur> from the plaiutiff, for the sum of £ 840, and also a quantity of meadow land at the same place for £ 1020.—' i he purchase inouey had been paid at ibree several times, and after the whole of Ihe oH'ai had apparently been finally arranged, the plaintiff conceived thai, owing to some mistake, he had not received the full consideration money by the sum of £ 40. This was the question at issue ; aud ihe plaiutiff case having been gone through, ihe defendant produced the deed of conveyance with the plaintiff's receipt for the full consideration money, duly attested.— The plaintiff was in consequence nonsuited. CASH r. GILES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover £ 36. 8s. the amount of a bill delivered to defendant for a threshing machine, and was tried before Mr. Justice Park after he had completed the Crown business.— The plaintiff resides at Bridgnorth ; and the defendant is a farmer living at Monckhopton, in this county.— If ap- peared, that in 1822 Mr. Giles ordered a thieshing ma- chine, which was made and sent home ; iu 1826, plaintiff applied ( through the medium of a friend) for pay- ment ; instead of paying for the machine, defendant sent a note to Mr. Cash, in which it was staled that he had not worked the machine for the last two years, because it left 2 parts out of 3 of tiie grain behind.— Several witnesses for the defendant proved that the machine would never work clean; also that it had been repaired by plaiutiff three times in the course of ihe first two \ ears after it was made, but was no better ; and that the defendant had been obliged to hire another threshing machine to do his work. There was likewise a defence set up that plaintiff had sent him a letter, stating that he would make it work well, or not require any thing for it, and that he would fetch it away if it did not turn out a good one; but no such letter could he produced.— His Lordship ( in summing up) said the case was a clear one ; and as there had been no evidence lo prove that plaintiff hud promised to fetch the machine away if it did not work well, or that he had warranted it, also coupled wilh the facts of his having kept it up to this time, they were hound to find a verdict for the plaintiff: for it was just as absurd lo suppose that the. plaintiff ought not to be paid for his machine,. as for a man to have a horse upon trial, keep him in use for 6 " years, aud then return him upon the plea of his being broken wiudtd.—' Verdict for plaintiff— Damages £ 20. House of Commons.'-' Last week the deputation re queried an audience of his Majesty's Ministers, which was immediately grantedThe following is » brief outline of the conference : the Ministers present were the Duke of Wellington, ihe Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Mr. Huskisson, Colonial Secretary, aud Mr. Giant. The conference commenced by the deputation statiug the fears of the West India proprietors that thi present ministry were unfriendly lo the West India interests, and that a rumour had gone abroad that heir property in slaves would be attacked by a party in pailiament, and they wished to ascertain the senti- ment of his Majesty's ministers on this important point. The Duke of Wellington acquainted the noblemen aud gentlemen that the opinions they had formed weje without the slightest foundation; that the ministers wer « most fiiendly to the West lud interests;— it was true that several measures were pressed upon the West India proprietors for the ame- lioration of the slaves, but these were never iutcuded to be pushed farther— tbat il could uot he construed into interfering with property obtained under the former laws of England, aud that if their property was interfered with in parliament, his Majesty's ministers Would protect the West India interests as freely and as firmly as any oiber important interest of the country ; aud that he would go further, iu stating that ihe Colonial Legislatures ( though their proceed- ings had been in some eases intemperate) yet their powers and authority were clearly defined, and that he saw no itasou why they should not be prok( ted iu their prerogative in the same manner as extended by his Majesty to ihe British parliament, aud the protec- tion would most undoubtedly be extended, provided their proceedings were conducted with moderation, and kept within . the bounds prescribed by the consti- tution-— thot their decisions, though not exactly ex- tending to what his Majesty's ministers expected, yet they would, be out with ihe greatest conciliation ; and as be saw before him noblemen and gentlemen of Ihe highest authority in the colonies, he begged to impress upon them the spirit of conciliation, and that they would exert their iuflucnce iu promoting the ameliora- tion of the state of the slaves.— Mr. Huskisson then came forward and stated, that if any part of the pro ceedings alluded to him as unfriendly to the West India interests, lie begged to be understood, as most clearly and pointedly to disavow it— that he knew of no greater external calamity that could happen, than severing the colonial interests from that of the mother country. After a speech of some length, and some farther explanations, Ihe deputation withdrew, highly pleased with the result of tlie conference. The House of Peers has ordered the roll of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in the present Session of Parliament to be printed. This roll contains the names of 402 lords, including- the Roman Catholic Peers of England who would be entitled to take their seats if they chose to take the oaths. The Royal Dukes are 5; the Archbishops 3 ; the Dukes with English titles, 19; the Marquisses 23; the Earls 129; the Viscounts 26 ; the Bishops 27; aud the Barons 171. CLOUDS OF BUTTERFLIES.— A cloud of locusts, which is no very uncommon thing in the Mediterra- nean or in Syria, is a mere agglomeration of small dusky bodies that have no beauty or splendour; but a cloud of butterflies is a very different object. When seen hovering in the evening sun, it looks as if the leaves and flowers of summer had been suddenly endowed with wings, and lifted up from the earth; or as if a rainbow had been shattered and spread abroad in the air.— Clouds of these insects, together with flights of cormorants and wood- pigeons that darken the sun, are often seen hovering on a fine evening over the southern coast of Cuba. unpromising; as yet, the speed to be obtained with a likelihood of permanent motion, does not exceed six miles per hour. Stafford Assizes terminated on Wednesday after m on. The total number of prisoners tried was 108; and of this number sentence of death was recorded against 15, and 6 were adjudged to undergo trans portation. One prisoner, Joseph Preston, convicted of a. rape under most revolting circumstances, is left for execution, and will suffer on Saturday, the 5th of April. At Lancaster, James Ashton, one of a party of poachers, for shooting att and dangerously wounding, Peter Lucas, a gamekeeper at Eccleston, received sentence of death without hope of mercy. EXECUTION.— On Saturday, a monster 111 human shape, named JaneScotf, was executed at Lancaster, for wilfully murdering her own father and mother, by administering poison to them!— She confessed that she had also murdered two children in a sin ' lar way— the one her own illegitimate offspring-, the other a child of a relation ! EXECUTION .— Alexander Ephraim Shorter alias Thomas Shorter ttJia's Joshua Bell, aged 50, for uttering forged Bank notes, and Samuel Weed on, aged 25, for house- breaking, were executed in front of Newgate. At Winchester Assizes, John Weeks received sentence of death for horsestealing, ami was ordered for execution on the 22d instant. John Woodward, charged with stealing a horse at Tickeuham, Somer: set, the propeity of George Church, and on various oiheis charges of a similar description, obtained a postponement of his trial till next Assizes. William Cutis alias Brown, on numerous chaiges of stealiug and receiving horses, who was brought from London, where he had been sentenced to transportation for 14 years, was convicted of receiving, and sentenced to transportation for J4 years.— The execution of Moses Shepherd, for the murder of William Harms worth, at Brockhurst, near Fareham, took place on the new drop at Winchester gaol, on Monday. The culprit acknowledged the justness of his sentence. He stated ihat jealousy was the only motive which actuated him, aud that he had meditated the crime but a very 6hort time before be perpetrated it. Several innkeepers and pastry- cooks at Reading have been served with Exchequer writs for selling soda- water without a license, the Stamp Commis- sioners having declared the same to be a patent medicine. Most of the churchyards in the neighbourhood of Chichester are now regularly watched for some weeks after a funeral, in consequence of the numerous in- stances of disinterment which have occurred. TENTH WONDER OF THE WORLD.— A liente- nant of the royal navy has invented a new kind of paddle wheel for steam vessels, which he says are to propel them at the rate of 30, 40, 50, or even 100 miles an hour!!!— We shall therefore soon be able to cross from Dover to Calais in ten or twelve minutes From London lo Lisbon will not occupy a day! and our cockney citizens, instead of making Margate the ne plus ultra of their summer excursions, will very shortly be enabled to embark at Tower Stairs— break- fast at Madeira— dine upon Bonaparte's tomb at St, Helena— sup and sleep at the Brazils!— Next morn ing breakfast at Cape Horn— dine at Lima, and sup at Kamschatka. Third day, breakfast at Otaheite— dine at Canton, and sup at Loo Choo ! - Visit the great wall of China, Bengal, Cape of Good Hope, Ej[ ypt, and Constantinople, and return to Cheap s. de in a week !!! It was probably in relation to the late wouderful improvement upon steam- engines, and the novel purposes to which steam is about to be applied, that an Irishman observed, 44 Fail honey, we shall soon go fox- hunting on lea- kettles." ROLLING- PRESS FOR BOOKBINDERS.— Mr. Bum has contrived a rolling- press, which is employed as a substitute for the beating which books require previous to being bound. A Committee of the Soci- ety of Arts assembled at Mr. Burn's house, for the purpose of examining and witnessing the operation of this apparatus. The press consists of two iron cylinders, about a foot in diameter, adjustable in the usual way, by means of a screw, and put in motion by the power of one man, or of two, if more convenient, applied to one or two cranked handles. In front of the press sits a boy who gathers the sheets into packets, by placing two, three, or four upon a piece of tin plate of the same size, and cover- ing them with another piece of tin plate, and thus proceeding by alternating tin plates and bundles of sheets till a sufficient quantity has been put toge ther, which will depend on the stiffness and thick ness of the paper. The packet is then passed between the rollers and received by the man who turns the winch, and who has time to lay thei sheets ou oue side, and to hand over the tin plates by the time that the boy has prepared a second packet. Among other books that were produced in presence of the Committee, was a minion Bible, which was passed through the press in one minute, whereas the time necessary to beat the same would have been twenty minutes. It is not, however, a mere saving- of time that is gained by the use of the rolling press— the paper is made smoother than it would have- beeti by beating, and the compression is so much greater, that a rolled book will be reduc- ed to about five- sixths of the thickness of the same book if beaten. A shelf, therefore, that will hold fifty books, in the usual manner, would hold nearly sixty of such, if bound in Mr. Burn's manner ; a circumstance of no small importance, when it is considered how large a space even a moderate library occupies, and that bookcases are an expen- sive article of furniture. THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA.— The Rev. F. V. J. Arundell, British Chaplain at Smyrna, has published a narrative of a tour made by - him in Anatolia, in 1823, and 4, in which he describes, iri very striking* language, the desolation of the Seven Christian Churches founded in Asia by the Apostles, Most of the places, indeed, scarcely can be said to exist even as civil communities; but the glory of Christianity ha3 long departed from them all.— Smyrna, Ephesus, Pergamos, Sardis, Thyatira, Lao- dieea, and Philadelphia— these were tile names with which the book" of the Apocalypse has made us familiar— where the labours of the fpunders of Christianity were successful in creating Christian churches: they are now desolate of Christianity, and even their worldly honour gone. Smyrna, alone, remains a place of commercial importance: Ephesus is a heap of ruins: in 1824, says our author, a Turk, whose shed we occupied, his Arab servant, and a single Greek, composed the entire population.— Even the sea, he continues, has re- tired from the scene of desolation, and a pestilen- tial morass, covered with mud and rushes, has succeeded to the waters which brought up the ships laden with merchandize from every country. In Pergamos there lingers a memorial of a Christian church— it can hardly be called more— a poor shed the tourist says, covered with earth. The contrast^ he says, between the- magnificent remains of the' Church of St. John, which lay beneath, and this, its poor representative, is as striking as between the poverty of the present state of religion among the modern Greeks, and the rich abundance of gospel' light which once shone within the walls of the Agios Theologos.— Sardis sits in solitary darkness, and is no longer called the Lady of Kingdoms. " How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people!" A few mud huts, inhabited by Turkish' herdsmen, are the city aud population of Sardis. Thyatira ( now Ak- Hissar) yet flourishes in popula- tion aud civil consequence, but has only one mi- serable Greek church. Laodicea ( now Eski- Hissar) is a Turkish village, adjoining masses and scattered fragments of ancient architecture and sculpture. Of Philadelphia, the last of the seven, and now called Allah- Sher, comparing its beautiful site to that of Sion— 44 Beautiful for situation is Mount Sion"— the tourist says, there is an affecting re- semblance in the present condition of both these once highly- favoured cities of God.— The glory of the temple is departed from both; and though the candlestick has uever been removed from Philadel- phia, yet it emits but a glimmering light, for it has long ceased to be trimmed with the pure oil of th « sanctuary. CLIMATE.— In the course of the last year, the re- public of Chili was visited with obstinate and extra- ordinary abundant rains, creating torrents which car- ried away eyery thing iu their course, and buried vast tracts of fertile land under heaps of stones, flints, & c. Thousands of persons lost their lives ; the cattle suf- fered prodigiously, aud the worst of all is, that the very climate seems to have beeu considerably deteri- orated. From various observations, it appears indeed to be evident, that the climate, generally, in the new world, does not exhibit the constancy and uniformity of Ihe old. In the valley of Quito the temperature several degrees lower than it was in 1740; the bason of the Mississippi is less salubrious than it was whet* it first received European colonists ; and the Bermiw da s, once considered a delightful abode, are now un- healthy and disagreeable.— Literary Gazette. THE MISER'S PRAYER.— Among a variety of curious papers of John Ward, of Hackney, Esq. M. P„ ( who being convicted of forgery, was expelled the house, and in the year 1727 stood in the pillory),, there was found, a few days ago, a paper in his own hand- writing, which we think may be very properly entitled the Miser's Prayer— 44 Oh Lord, thou know est that I have nine houses in the city Of London, and likewise that 1 have lately purchased an estate jn fee- simple in the county of Essex ; 1 beseech thee to preserve the two counties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquakes; and as 1 have a mortgage in Hertford- shire, I beg of thee likewise to have, an eye of compassion on that county, and for the rpst of ihe counties thou mayest dear with theca as thou art pleased ! Oh Lord, enable the Bank to answer all their bills, and make all my debtors good men. Give a prosperous voyage and return to the Mermaid sloop, because I have iusured it'; and, as thou hast said that the days of the wicked are but short, 1 trust in thee that thou wilt not forget thy promise, as I have purchased an estate in reversion, which will be mine on the death of that profligate young man, Sir J— L——. Keep my friends from sinking, and preserve me from thieves and housebreakers; and make all my servants so honest and faithful th& t they may attend to my iuterest and never cheat me out of my property, night nor day." Ward was suspected of joining iu a conveyance with Sir John Blunt, to secure £ 50,000 of that director's estate, forfeited to Ihe South Sea Company. The Company recovered the £ 50,000 against Ward, but he set up prior couveyanccs of his estate to his brother and sou, and concealed all his personals, which were supposed to be £ 105,000. These conveyances being also set aside by a bill in Chaucery, Ward was imprisoned for many years. JEWISH MARRIAGE.— The Marriage Ceremony is always celebrated wilh splendour and show by the Jews, nor are the poorest exempt from this custom. As every guest brings a present, chiefly of plate, according to ability, the lower orders, especially, are anxious to invite as many as possible on that account; for which purpose they generally hire a public room, to accommodate such a large assemblage j and not unfrequently, when the wedded pair are very poor, these gifts are disposed of immediately, lo defray the expense of the feast, aud assist the young couple in housekeeping. A friend, on whom dependence can be placed, is stationed near the entrance of the apart- ment, to receive the presents of the guests, as they arrive ; another writes down each person's name and their gift, which is instantly deposited in a'chest* and after all invited have arrived, it is locked and put iu a place of safety. If any person invited is prevented attending, this circumstance does not prevent their gifts from being regularly sent in their names, but those who are merely invited to tea and dance, are not expected to bring any present. Wednesday is the day on which the Jews celebrate their marriages, and a second ball on Thursday evening concludes the feast; but if either of the parly bave been previously married, Sunday is the day chosen, and music and dancing form uo part of the entertainment. The choice of Wednesday for the above purpose still continues among the Jews; but like many other of their observances, the cause for selecting tbat day has long ceased to exist, and had its origin simply because as the Sanhedrim held its silting on Thursday, the newly married man could immediately bring his wife before them, if he had any grouud^ of complaint". The Paris Papers of the 20th inst. have been received. From Vienna, under the date of the 10th inst. we are informed that according to all the private letters received there from Constantinople, the Porte was in daily expectation of an attack from the Russians. Strong batteries had been erected round the city itself, and an extensive rampart raised for its defence. Two ships of the line, of sixty- four guns each, and several large frigates, were cruizing in the Black Sea, to prevent the entrance of the Russian fleet; and at Roust- chonk the works for the defence of the passage of the Danube were carried on night and day. It was at this point tbat the two armies were expected in the first instance to come in collision. Though the occupation of the Principalities was expected to be effected without much resistance, every appearance indicated that the Porte was preparing for a subsequent determined and resolute effort. Troops were daily arriving at Adrianpole, where the Sultan himself was expected in April; and it was considered that before the end of the present month 100,000 men would be assembled at that place. It is also announced that the movements of the Austrian troops are still continued, and that on the side of Servia in particular the reinforcements are very considerable. It is observable that the Turks are under no apprehensions from these formidable demonstrations; and that in the event of a war with Russia, the Ottoman Porte entertains no dread of hostilities on the part of Austria. Accounts from Berlin state that the alleged con- version of the Duke of Brunswick from the Pro- testant to the Roman Catholic religion, is totally destitute of foundation.
