With all possible respect for Lord GrenvilleV former services, and his present age and station, we hope vve may be allowed, without offence, to say, that his work has a little reminded us of the Archbishop of Gre- nada's last homily— we do not find in it either the vigour, the logic, or the deep and original views which characterized the Lord Grenville of thirty years ago; and we are obliged to confess, that the pamphlet appears to us, to be what, from an inferior hand, we should be inclined to call superficial and inconclusive; it is full of pompous truisms, and with a great affectation of order aud afgumeut, the in- ferences appear to us to be unwarranted by; aud sometimes contradictory to, the premises. His lordship is a decided enemy to the sinking fund now in operation; and, indeed, it would seem to any sinking fund whatsoever; but it is with the former only of these positions that we shall at pre- sent meddle. His lordship claims, and no doubt has received additional deference to his present opinions, from the circumstance of his having been at one period a warm friend and supporter of the principle of which he now so utterly disapproves ; aud his introduction, while it affects to justify this inconsistency, is really directed to the object of giving to his new opinions the character of being the result of candour, ex- perience, and impartiality— a change of opinions so brought about would no doubt have extraordinary weight, if we did not recollect that this is not the first time nor the first subject on which Lord Gren- ville has changed his opinion. We cannot forget his celebrated coalition vSith the Whigs otl the death of Mr. Pill— we cannot for- get that after having been for so many years one of the ablest and the most sffenuous opponents of Mr. Fox, Mr. Grey, Lord Krskine, and Lord Moira, tie, in 1806, formed a Cabinet, of which these men; whose policy and actions he had so long and so vehemently denounced as hostile to the constitution, formed the most considerable portion. Vlre, there- fore, are obliged to confess, that the weight of Lord Grenville's conversion on the subject of the sinking- fund is very much diminished^ in our opinion, by his former conversion to whiggery. But there is another circumstance, more immedi- ately connected with the sinking fund, which de predates Lord Grenville's testimony in our eyes— we mean, that now forgotten, but once celebrated humbug, the ftevv plan of finance devised by Lord Grenville, when First Lord of the Treasury, aud proposed under his auspices, by the present Lord Lansdown, when Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1807— we shall not enter into any of the details of that vision ; we shall only state that it was a plan stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, " to provide means for an expenditure of £ 32,000,000, without imposing upon the public any additional burthen at all!!!" This scheme was an niter fal- lacy, aud ended in smoke, and is now only worth alluding to, as invalidating, in our opinion, and we think in that of every man who remembers any thing of that gigantic folly, Lord Grenville's financial judgment. His lordship, in his late pamphlet, sets out with great form and ceremony, to prove what no One, that we have ever heard of, denied, namely, that a sinking fund maintained by borrowed money, is useless, and worse than useless: but does his lord- ship mean to say that Mr. Pitt, or any other minister, or any man of common sense, ever coutemplated such a process? Lord Grenville imputes such non. sense to Mr. Pitt, by himself confounding two distinct operations— it is quite true, that the sinking fund, though planned originally for a time of peace, when of course there could be no counteracting loans expected, w(, s continued by Mr. Pitt during period in which loans were made, and in every such loan provision for a sinking fund was also made; but this was not borrowing money to be ap- plied to a sinking fund. The real operatiou was, that whenever taxes were imposed to meet the in terest of a loan, additional taxes to the amount of one per cent, were also imposed, or in other words, mortgaged for the rededtption of the debt; and it was calculated, and experience has proved, that if this principle had been auhered to, the debt on every such loan would be extinguished in about forty years. The deviations which have successively taken place from Mr. Pitt's system, have disturbed these operations— weshall allude to them presently ; here we only remark, that Lord Grenville is quite unfounded^ when he imputes to the system itself, evils which arose solely out of the deviations from that systepi. It must be recollected that Mr. Pitt's sinking fund began in 1786, at a time when there was a prospect of a long iuterval of peace, and when those who foresaw an eventual war, could never have con- templated a war that lasted with hardly any inter- mission from 1793 to 1815, which embraced every quarter of the world, and was waged on all sides to an extent, and with an energy, never before wiu nessed, and never, we believe, likely to be seen again. To enable us to make those gigantic efforts in the field, gigantic efforts of finance were neces- sary; and accordingly a long succession of loans, with a concomitant increase of taxation, became unavoidable. It is a phcenomenoti, which we notice en passant, that under the pressure of this enormous taxation, our foreign commerce, our Internal manufactures, the comforts of ttu increasing population, and the general prosperity of the country, all advanced in greater proportions than they had been known to do in the rttost prosperous days of peace. We have not now leisure to inquire into the cause of this extraordinary result, though we think that it is not unconnected with oursubject ; because we believe that the confidence created by ihe sinking fund contributed, not merely to raising the loans on easier terms, but to the beneficial effects which the circulation of so vast a capital produced on all our finaucial and commercial concerns. But, though ihe increase of taxation was thus accompanied, by at least an equal increase of public wealth, the size to which it had grown became every year more and more alarming, and every year fresh efforts were made by the minister of the day, to mitigate or evade taxatiou- Under such circumstances, that part of the taxes which had Ween, as it were mortgaged to the sinking fund, attracted the notice both of ministers and of the public, and, as ( be most obvious purpose of the fund so appropriated was the relief of posterity, we all agreed that under such extraordinary circumstances as we were placed in, and considering the enormous sacrifices that we were actually making, we were- justified iu seeking some present relief, and leavin posterity to a certain degree to take care of itself. We shall not inquire whether this change of the system was right or wrong— wrong it certainly was, in principle, but we believe it was inevitable, and that the efforts which finally preserved, not only tbe property but the independence of this country from tbe terrific despotism which over- whelmed the rest of Europe, conld not have been made, or at least could not have been so effectually made, \$ we hud not alleviated the existing pres sure, by applying to current expense,- or to th interest of new loans, some portion of the public income which ought, according to the law, to have been employed iu aid of the sinking fund. But as soon as that extraordinary pressure ceased, we think that the original system of the sinking fund should have been restored; and so it would have been, but that the public, led astray by Lord Custlereagh's was long a theme of ridicule and abuse against that great statesman : we now see ft* full force and meaning; it only expresses in a con- densed form the long arguments which we rea'f every day, ! o prose that no sinking fund can be effectual, unless the people will submit ( o sti'eh a degrefc of ( axation, as sha( l create u surplus of revenue. Lord Grenville wasfea a great deal of paper in proving that if you borrow an hundred pounds at ! hree per cent, to pay an hundred ooilnds at three per cent, there is neither loss nor gain; and he quotes Hudibras-^- Lofd Gretiville quoting Hndibras seems to us quite as inconsistent as Lord Grepville coalescing with Mr. Fox ; but he do es quote Hudi- bras— and what will otfr readers think the quotation is?— Why this— '' Til* intrinsic Value of a thing Is just at much as it will brinpf And thm recondite apophthegm occurs on the 39th folio of this " Scientific Essay," « nd is the summary of the argument whiih lias been spread through the preceding thirty- eight pages. But to return to the illustration. If we borrow an hundred pounds, for which we are to pay three per cent, per annum, in order to pay off one hun- dred pounds, for which we do pay three per cent, per annum, Lord Grenville and Hudibras assure us, that there is neither loss nor gain. Hudibras knew little of sinking funds; Lord Grenville, we arri afraid, not much more, as we think we shall show by the true statement of the supposed case. We ov » e an hundred pounds, for which we pay three per cent.; but we have a desire to pay off that hundred pounds, which we happen not to be able to effect at Once; we have, however, four pounds per annum, and this! we apply thus:— three pounds to pay the annual interest on'- the hundred, and one pound to be laid out year after year at compound interest, til] in forty years the accumula- tion of that one pound shall amount to one hundred pounds, with which sum we shall be enabled to pav off our debt; so that, instead of borrowing a sum of one hundred pounds to pay a sum of one hundred pounds, we ajrpropriale a sum of one pound per annum, which in time will discharge the hundred. This opens to us the whole fallacy of Lord Gren- ville's argument. He has discovered by the lights of his natural genius, and by the experience of a long life, that " ex riihito nihil fit," aud that two and two can netfer make five ( wherein, by the way, he excels Mr. Hume); lie has found out that money and money's worth are pretty nearly equivalent; that a debt can only be paid by paying its value, and that as the value is tbe same as the debt, a man may as well keep the valtie as pay the debt; and, in short, that no man who ever borrowed five pounds can hope to repay it except by borrowing five pounds from some other man for that purpose. Hi » lordship totally forgets the system of instalments, the operation of economy, the accumulation of . >- terest, the powers of time. But our observations grow too long; we must basien to conclude for the present, though we may recur to the subject hereafter. We look upon Lord Grenville's reasonings as anile, and their effect as tremendously mischievous. He reminds us of a story that we have read, of a blind old woman sticking a candle in a barrel of gunpowder. We are convinced that a sinking fund is the only trod foundation of national confidence; We believe implicitly the theory of Ihe system, but if we doubted the theory, still we could not doubt the fact, that the national debt has been erected upon that basis, and that he who, by any sophistry, ol1 b^- ' I..- juBirst reasons, endeavours to destroy that foundation, is guilty of an invasion of property, or, which is the same thing, of our idea of the security of property, which in the ordinary affairs of life would be called dishonesty, and whic h, in so great an affair as this, may amount to a public crime: Let uji suppose any of the million of persons who possess a share of the debt created while Lord Grenville was a minister, aud who were induced to advance their money upon the faith of the s-' nkinr) fund— suppose they should say to his lordship, " You have grown old and rich—' vou perhaps never subscribed to the loans which your speech induced us to share in- » - you may be grown wiser* as well as older and richer, and you may think the bargain you made for the public might have been better; but you made the bargain—- yovt pledged yourself to the sinking fund, and you pledged the sinking fund to us— w ith what countenance, with what decency, with what honesty can you now turn round upon us, and endeavour to defeat the contract which you yourself itiade?— what excuse can you have for attempting to invalidate the security of all of us, creditors of the state, and setting an example by thfl breach of one part of the contract to the breach of the whole, by tearing down the sinking fund, and thus affording a precedent for destroying every fund whatsoever?" It is certainly rather inconvenient to pay one per cent, towards a sinking fund, but it is ninety- nina ( imes more inconvenient to pay the interest of the national debt. If my Lord Grenville's arguments were to be carried to their full extent, we think that they would lead to a justification, first, of the lowering the interest, and ultimately to a sponge of the debt, with just as much force as they now ap- ply to the abolition of the sinking fund. That fund has been abused, but let the abnse he corrected— its original principle may have been too widely calculated— let it be restricted, but let it never be destroyed. Lord Grenville wonders at all the little arts by which, from time to time, the name and credit of tbe sinking fund has been main- tained, even while its practical effect was suspend- ed— does his Lordship not see in this a tribute to public faith ? — an evidence of the value of a sinking fund to maintain public credit ?— a proof, in short, that however we may have been forced to yield to the pressure of overpowering circumstances, the principle of a sinking fund is essential to the credit of public securities, and to the vast and complicated system of the national debt, which is itself so large a proportion of Ihe property of the empire, and with which every other species of property is so inti- mately connected. what Lord Casllereagh so wisely called " the ignorant impatience of taxation," insisted upon a remission of taxes, so great as not to leave a suffi- cient incorue to the sittkiug fund.

HOUSE OF LOU US— THURSDAY. TK8T AND CORPORATION ACTS. Lord HOLLAND moved the order of the day for tlie second reading- of the Repeal Bill. His Lordship, in a long and elaborate speech, advocated ilie repeal, mid said lie confidently expected the free and full concurrence of their Lordships in the great principle of the bill — that it is equally just and expedient to abrogate the law which tenders taking the sacrament testa necessary qualification for holding- civil employ- ments, substituting- for that test a declaration that the individual who shall make it will not use the official power vested in him for the subversion or injury of the Chun h as by law established. The Karl of F. I. DON was the only Peer who spoke decidedly against the proposed repeal. The Learned Lord hoped to God that those who now advocated the measure might find no reason, at some future day, to regret their success. The Archbishop of YORK declared for hiwself and his Right Hon. Brother the Archbishop of Canterbury, that, he was opposed to an act which was Contrary to religion ; he was of opinion that & il religions tests must, in their very nature, lead to religions insin- cerity, and therefore ought not to be imposed but in times of danger to the church. He thought such tests might now he removed ; but as they had been framed suit Iv for the protection of the established church, the latter had a right to some sufficient security in their ooni. He cordially gave his assent to the second leading-. The Karl of WINCHU. SBA said it was imperative on their Lordships to insert some clause rendering the upport and maintenance of orthodox Christianity necessary on the part of those Dissenters who wcie appointed lo public offices. His Lordship afterward* wad the clause he meant hereafter to propose. The Bishop of LINCOLN expressed his opinion that the present law s, as acts of exclusion, could no longer De maintained ; and that the Church of England wanted no such defence as the existing laws gave her, the best defence of which consisted in the respect and u flections of thfc people. The Bishop of DURHAM was satisfied that no honest man con^ tak. 6 the proposed declaration in any other tense tha^ riu a promise to support the established church — which declaration, by setting forth the invio- lability of the church, did more good to the establish- ineut than any other enactment. The Duke of WELLINGTON said the declaration proposed by his Right Hon. Friend in another plnc « . ( Mr. Peel) would ensure a security fully equivalent to that which the present laws enforced, and that it was the intention of Ministers to give ihfir support to t he Bill so framed. Viscount GODERICH saidx if the measure passed into a law, the Church ofEngland would present one of the most magnificent spectacle* timt eon Id'be imagined' to tiie admiring eyes of men ;. and he would add, long might it flourish, dispensing blessings amongst those who believed iu its doctrines, admired its ministry, and prayed heartily and foieibly for its permanence. The Bishop of CHESTER, while he defended the principle on which the existing laws were founded, expressed his cordial concurrence in the bill before the house. Lord MANS FIELD' was not satisfied with the declar- ation, and should therefore vote against- the second leading of the bill. The bill was then read a second time, and Lord HOLLAND gave notice that lie should move its commit- ment oil Monday. HOUSE OF - COMMONS— THURSDAY. Mr. IIEATIICOTE, in presenting a petition, from certain agriculturists rn the county of Lincoln, ob- served, that great distrust existed at present, but the agriculturists stilt relied upon the government, and he hoped they would grant them an adequate protection. — Mr. IVRTMAN said it was his intention in the Com- mittee on the Corn Laws on Tuesday next, to induce them to increase the scale of protection from one to trro shillings, particularly when the wheat was at a low price iu this country. The measure now proposed he thought materially worse than that of last year, and hoped the house would agree with him that the agriculturists, who had so long patiently home pri- vations, would at last be adequately protected. In answer to a question from Mr. H. MAXWELL, \" » ether, directly or indirectly, or bv the agency of others, either at home or abroad, or by any foreign f court, in or on behalf of the Sovereign or his Govern- ment, any negotiations were carried on relative to the Catholics of these kingdoms with the See of Rome? Mr. PEEL assured the Hon. Member that there was not the slightest foundation for such a rumour. P OO re LAWS. Mr. SLANEY, after regretting that there were so few members present, addressed the House at much length on the increase of the Poor Rates, and iu support of those views wbich had induced liitu to bring forward liia motion for a Reform of the abuses of the Poor Laws respecting payments made from parish rates to and for aMe- bodied labourers. He concluded by moving > » n* e to Urmg in n bill to declare and amend the Jaw relating to the employment and payment <> f i. hi*-- txtdied labourers from the Poor- rates, and the better rating of tenements under a certain value." Alter JV short discussion, in w hich the speakers expressed their apprehensions that no good would result from the intended measure, leave was given to bring in the bill. Mr. WILMOT HORTON moved for leave to bring in a bill to facilitate the emigration of paupers by their parishes ; and after explaining the objects of the proposed measure, which were to raise money upon the security of the poor- rates, he concluded by moving < k for leave to bring iu a bill to enab e parishes in England, under certain regulations, and for limited periods, to mortgage their poor- rates for the relief of the poor ;" which, after a few observations from Mr. tlcsKtssoN, who considered the country indebted to his Right Hon. Friend for the zeal he bad manifested in the investigation of the subject; from Mr. Alder- man WAITUMAN, who deemed the whole project im- practicable, and that neither interest nor principal could ever be paid; and from Mr. HCMR, who, though an advocate for voluntary emigration, thought it impossible that the principle on which the bill was founded could ever he carried into execution ; leave > v « * given to bring in the bill. IIOU8E OF LORDS- FRIDAY. Several petitions were presented against the Roman Catholic claims. On the motion of Earl CARNARVON, their Lordships proceeded to examine evidence on the Pei/ ryn Disfran- chisement Bill, which occupied them the remainder of the evening. In the course of the discussion, the Marquis of SALISIH'RY intimated his disapproval of the measure altogether. The further consideration of the subject was deferred until Tuesday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. A number of petitions were presented against Mr fourtenay's Friendly Societies Rill, and it is generally expected that the measure will not be pressed during the present session. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH presented a petition from New South Wales, praying for the introduction of a s\ stem of popular representation and trial by jury.— Mr. HUSKISSON thought, that either iwstilution, iu the present- state of the colony, would be decidedly in- jurious. Intelligence of some importance has this morning I arrived from Bermuda and Halifax. The question | of the boundary line bet ween the British settlements : and the United States, which was likely to lead to very serious consequence!", has been left to the arbitration of Russia. Mr. Baker, tliv person who violated the English territory, lias been released. The American Commissioners, deputed to examine the facts of the atfuir, were received with every honour by the English authorities, and every facility as to the investigation was afforded to them. — The Halifax papers give the most Battering description of the improving state of Nova Scotia and the- neighbouring British Colonies; and these improvements are attributed to the advantage they receive from the exclusive trade to the British West inuia Islands, which they now enjoy, in place of being iu the hands of the Americans.

On Sunday last, an evening: service was com- menced at St. Julian's Church, in this town, for the accommodation of the town at large. Prayers w ere read by the Rev. G. Moultrie; after which a most appropriate sermon was delivered by the Rev. Archdeacon Bather, from Acts x. 33.— The church was crowded by a mos|. respectable congregation. ./?; On the 8th instant, the Marriage of Robert Pant- ing-, Esq. with Miss Kynnersley was celebrated by the tenantry on the Leigh ton estate with every demonstration of respect and festivity. A subsetip tion was entered into by the principal tenantry and friends, with which three fine sheep were purchased. Early in the morning a numerous party assembled to breakfast at Mr. Hampton's, at Leighton ; and, after breakfast, they proceeded with two of the sheep in procession, accompanied by ati excellent band of music, and preceded by a flag inscribed on one side " Health and Prosperity," and on the other " Long Life and Happiness;" and having been joined by the procession from Garmston, with the other sheep, the whole party went ' co Leighton Hall, where they were regaled wi.;' n an abundance of Shropshire ale, & c. and w^ ere the band continued playing at intervals several favourite airs, until the newly- married pair left Leighton for Malvern. The sheep were then put down to roast, and early in the afternoon two of them, with a proportionate quan- tity of Hread, and seven barrels of ale, were distri- buted to the poor, under the directions of Mr. ' Hampton ; the third sheep, with similaraccompani- ments, was distributed at Garmston. The females were regaled with tea, punch, and wine; and the festivities of the day terminated yvith a dance at the Hall, where the party continued until a late hour. On Thursday night last, Mr. and Mrs. Panting returned to Leighton Hall ; and on Friday the tenantry and friends again assembled, and, accom- panied by the band, congratulated the happy pair on their arrival. On this occasion the scene of festivity was again renewed; several excellent songs were sung; the merry dance was also resumed ; and the party did uot leave until about ten o'clock. Ou Tuesday, the 8th instant, Mr. Blantern, of Rodington Villa, entertained a party of friends at his house to celebrate the marriage of Miss Kynuersley with Robert Panting, Esq. Several excellent songs were sung by the party, and various toasts suitable to the occasion were drank with enthusiasm. Mr. Blantern likewise regaled a number of the neighbouring cottagers with tea, cake, & c. & c. Insolvent Debtors9 Court. A Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors was held in this town, on Monday last, before H. R. Reynolds, Esq.; when nine debto: » appeared to be heard upon their petitions; of whom WiIlium Groom, John Davies, and William Rogers were declared to be entitled to their discharge; William Clarke, Thomas Norton, and John Hill, were directed to be discharged after they had complied with certain forms.— The case of John Hudson, remains for the decision of the Commissioners upon consultation; the question being whether he can be considered to have taken the benefit of the Act, his detaining creditor having tendered his discharge, which he refused to accept. The remaining two insolvents were opposed; and their cases are stated below. EDWARD SMITH, late of the Cross Keys Inn, Shrews- btirv, was brought up, when Mr. R. Asterley informed" the Court he was instructed to oppose his discharge on behalf of Mrs. Hannah Llewellyn, on the ground that he refused to deliver up the keys of the bouse to Mrs. Llewellyn, the land- lady. Mr. Bather, for the insolvent, objected to this, as Mrs. WALTER rBHHE SUBSCRIBERS to the Fund for ft Building lite ahove are requested to Meet at the Tallin!

The accounts from Odessa, brought last night by the French papers of the 17th, state broadly that war was declared by Russia against the Porte, aud that the army only waited a favourable season to open the campaign. This statement is, to say the least of it, highly questionable. The actual passage of the Pruth may be expected to be heard of iu this country before any declaration of war is received from St. Petersburg!!. It is evident that the Rus- sians mean to cross that river, and that the Tut Its fully expect them to do so. The departure of the Emperor Nicholas for the army is again mentioned iu most letters from Poland. Transports are taking in provisions at Odessa for the Russian army, and they are said to be hired to proceed us far as Constantinople. It is already known that the Prussian Envoy, W. de Millitz has been recalled from the Turkish capital. He is reported to have incurred the dis- pleasure of his Sovereign iu consequence ot bis having suffered Turkey to believe, that if she declared war against Russia, she might expect the support of other powers. Prussia, as well us Austria, are, it is known, strenuous in their endeavours lo prevail upon Turkey to listen to more moderate counsels, and thus avert the im- pending danger. It is supposed, therefore, that the Austrian Minister w ill also be recalled from Con- stantinople, as well as the Prussian, in order to ufiord the most public evidence that the Austrian Cabinet is influenced by the same policy as Prussia.

The hopes of the Engineer have, however, proved fallacious, and the tunnel is now as full of water as at any former period of the breaking in of the Thames. The irruption took place between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning. All circumstances considered, a perseveiance in the work seems hopeless.— A bill is now passing through the House of Commons to uuthorise the proprietors to raise more money— but we s' all marvel if persons can be found to advance the necessary funds; £ 80,000 is wanted.

A correspond* nt inquires of us, why the best ale, which is retailed in Worcester for fir/, a quart imperial measure, should be charged 8d. a quart in some parts of Shropshire ? He says, a bushel of best malt containing 32 quarts imperial measure and one pound or less of best hops are worth together at this time about 8s. fid. and if 3- 2 quarts of malt will make 32 quarts of ale, the cost of ingredients would be 3id. a quart, lo which Id. should be added for duty, making it 4^ d. a quart, aud when sold for 0d. leaves a reasonable profit to the r.' tailer. Shrewsbury Quarter Sessions. Samuel Horton, aged 18, was indicted for steal- ing a sheep, value thirty shillings, the property of Mr. Timothy Oakley. He pleaded Guilty, and the Recorder ordered sentence of Death to be recorded against him. In this case the Court ordered £ 5 to Hnyward, the police officer, and to the principal witness, for their vigilance in apprehending the prisoner. A true bill was found against James M'Nal/ y Cor a felony. He did not appear, and his recognizances were ordered to be estreated.— The Court informed the prosecuti r that his expenses would be allowed, and ordered two boys ( Richard Bratton and Thomas Onions) £ 5, for their activity aud spirited conduct in apprehending M'Natly. William Williams, shoemaker, was found guiltv of assaulting Robert Woodward, on the first of December last. The prosecutor is a publican iu Frankwell. On the night in question, about eleven o'clock, the prisoner w ith three others came to his house, which was then closed, and requested some ale, w hen, after some hesitation, a quart w as drawn; another was demanded, and also supplied; the prisoner then wanted a third, which Mr. Woodward refused, requesting him to leave the house. T he prisoner refused; Mr. Woodward proceeded to turn him out, and the prisoner struck hitn, which was the assault complained of. The prisoner called two witnesses, one of whom knew nothing more than that he drai. k some of the ale. The other, a name- sake of the prisoner, said that Mr. Woodward collared the prisoner before he was struck. Mr. Muckleston, the prisoner's employer, gave him an excellent character; in consequence of which the Recorder said the Court would pass a much more lenient sentence than otherwise they were inclined to do.— He was fined 20s. aud to enter into his own recognizance to keep the peace for twelve mouths. George Wall, a sickly- looking youth of 17, was indicted for assaulting and beating William Moss, a constable, in the execution of his duty. The prose- cutor, a " good portly" person, stated that he is constable of the Castle Foregate. On the lfith of April the prisoner, with a man named Hyley and other persons, came over the wall into prosecutor's garden, and began a riot with two girls. He asked themtogo about their business, when Wall struck him several times; he shouted for help, but no one came to assist him ; his staff was snatched out of bis hand, and laid about his head; Wall held him dow n, and the others beat him. At length he took Wall into custody. A witness named Powell said he saw Wall strike the constable.—- The Recorder iu passing sentence, said that rows of this descrip' • ion were now of daily occurrence. This was a pub- lic offence, and many of the inhabitants of Castle Foregite were so disorderly that it became necessary to make an example in order to put a stop to it. Tie was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction — The Court directed pro- cesses to be issued against one or two persons, for refusing to aid the constable when called upon. The great main of corks fought at Wolverhampton, between Shropshire ( Phillips, feeder,) aud Worees- irishire ( Hine, feeder), on the 7th, 8th, and 9th uf April, terminated as follows:— - slewellvu was not a. creditor; but he had no hesitation in naying that Smith was willing to deliver- up the keys on the 21ft of May. The insolvent was then examined by Mr. Commissioner Reynolds, lie said he was arrested bv his father, who lives in a cottage near Wellington, and is about 70 years of age and infirm ). he formerly had saved some money; he was on good terms with his father, as children should be to parents, and parents to children ; believed it was not a very common thing for a father to arrest his child and send him to prison. Mr. John Gittins had all his property; he is cousin to Mr. G.' s wi fe. Mr. John Gittins examined by Mr. Rather.--- Am a maltster, and have trusted the insolvent with malt and money, to the amount of more than .£ 500. I took the Cro.- s- Keys, and sup- plied him with malt ever since he has been there, but he has bought from others. I was not satisfied hecause he owed me so much money, and wanted security, therefore 1 called upon him, and pressed him to give me a bill of sale. Took one for £ 4H3, and sold under it to the amount of £ 240,- or £ 250. In solvent gave me a bill of sale two or three years before, which was cancelled when this was given, it was prepared by Mr J. B. Williams on paper. Mr. Gittins examined by the Commissioner.—- T had it for £ 483, because that amount was due since ttie insolvent was at the Cross Kevs. 1 kept au account in a ledger, which is at home. The insolvent desired me to give orders for a bill of sale to be prepared, and lie called to sign it. It was not on the same day. Mr. J. R. Williams explained to him that it was a bill of sale/ arid he knew what he was about, lam quite sure. it was explained The sale took place about six. teen days alter I had the bill; and 1 have received about £ 193, besides expenses. I know insolvent's father well; 1 believ he does not come to Shrewsbury much. 1 did not hear till nine days afterwards that insolvent was lione to prison, when I was told by the neighbours. 1 am a relation, and the only creditor who got any thing. 1 swear the bill was executed the day it hears date. John Edwards.— Am a tailor, and live in Butcher row. I was at insolvent's father's house, and was told that he had lent his son £ 30. The father said that Mr. Gittins had used hi: son very ill, and if lie put him in prison he would get rid of his debts 1 am acquainted with the family. 1 was desired bv insolvent's mother to go to his father. 1 told insolvent what passed. The Commissioner said, it was evident there was a collusion to get the insolvent freed from his debts without any creditor having harassed him 11 e conceived he did not want the assistance of this Court, as there was but one creditor on tli nchedule who could annoy him. It was one of those cases in which the Act was grossly abused The insolvent gets hi father to arrest, him, and endeavours to free himself from all his debts. He was sure if this petition were dismissed, the insolvent would not remain in custody twenty- four hours. Me could not let the Act be so shamefully .' bused, and there- fore ordered the petition to be dismissed. f. RICH A ! ID DICKEN, formerly of Penniarth, and late of TVutreclawdd, farmer, was examined by M. Bibby, Esq. h, rs opposing creditor, in person. The insolvent said, when I came to Penniarth I had one cow. 1 rented a farm at that time in the parish of I Janfair; it was in 1825. 1 hail my mother in- law's ( Ann Llewellyn) stock at that farm. I took thy farm in my own name; bought and sold in inv own name; 1 took Penniarth in my own name; from the time 1 came to that, farm till Dec. 3d or 4th, I occu pied it in my own name. In the month of December I made my property over to my mother- in law. I owed her £ 500 and upwards, but gave her no security, nor kept any account of it, because s- he paid me before witnesses. 1 know it was £ 500, because she paid it me at twice or thrice before the same persons, Mr. Marriott and his sisters. I did not say, after 1 had. executed the assignment, " Now I've fixed Bibby - be fixed me" I did say I was worth nothing but my skin after the assignment was made ; I did not say, " If Mr. Ribby put me iu gaol on the 2d of February, J should not have long to stay." » cannot exactly say which is the best poet, myself or my wife. I never sang this song--- " There is a fool in our town, " And Bibby is his name ; " He's lost his rent, and he'll repent, " For he the Bums to Penniarth sent:" nor do I know that my wife did : I never danced to the tune which is adapted to it. 1 did not sow any wheat at Penniarth before 1 left; 1 carried two loads of lime to it, and sold it again off the premises; 1 did not say I sold it to spite Bibby ; according to our agreement 1 was not to sell hay, straw, or manure; I did seli themat different times the latter end of last year, just before I left, and got £ 10 or £ 15 for them; 1 took no account of them, but paid with the money the tithes, fjoor rates, shoemaker's and tailor's bills; I took three or four loads of goods from Penniarth to Pentreclawdd; they are now at Day well; pui- t of the goods weie taken by a person named Llewellyn. Four loads of hay went to Pentreclawdd, to my own brother; I had 10/. tor it. I took the furniture and hay in January,- just before 1 left; I took a waggon and three horses; 1 did hot give them to my brother; the waggon is still there; one of the horses was sold, the other two are at Pentreclawdd. 1 took four cows from Penniarth to Pentre- clawdd, and one bullock, one heifer, and three pigs; they are not sold, but are in the custody of my mother- in law 1 took down the yrate at Penniarth," and sold the bricks with it. It is stated in my si hedule that the cause of my insolvency was renting my farm too high ; I had no tithe- hay to pay for; the tithe- corn" was about 25/, a- year, and the vent was 135/. My schedule says I paid three years rent; I only paid two years and a half's rent, leaving 76/. unpaid, which I stated to " have been paid. At the sale at Penniarth the best cow sold for 8/.; I charged in my schedule 15/. for one that died, because it was youngerI Charged 80/. for failure in crops, because they were burnt up. [ He wa; s further examined by Mr. Rather, bat nothing of importance was elicited.] In answer to questions put by the Commissioner, he said— 1 sold the hay because it was not included iu the assignment; the horses and cows belonged to my mother- in- law; i can't say why the hay did not belong to mother- in law as well as the other things; nothing was excepted in the deed ; she gave it after the sale to pay my creditors; after the sale she told BIRTH.

A few days ago, as some children were playing upon the banks of the mill stream at Pool Quay, near Welsh Pool, two of them fell in. There were some persons upou the opposite side of the river ( Severn), but the water being high, they eauld not reach the spot time enough to rescue the children, who must have perished but for the sagacity of a dog belonging to the factory, who jumped in and laid bold of the child nearest to him, which he brought towards the shore. The noble animal, as if gifted with an extraordinary degree of sagacity under such an emergency, as soon as he felt a footing for himself, although in the water, let go his hold from the child, and immediately rushed in to the rescue of the other, which he providentially accomplished, while oue of the playmates of the children succeeded in drawing the first child from the place where the dog had left it. If he had not at the moment rushed in the second time, the ether child would have been drowned, for tho poor little thing was exhausted by its struggles, and had sunk and risen to the surface of the water the third time. It is needless to say, the dog has since been a very great favourite. Worcestershire. M. B. First Day 5 I Second Day 4 2 Third Day 8 1 Total 17 4 Shropshire.

John Jones examined by Mr. Bibby.— I lately lived in a house Under Mr. Dicken; 1 heard him say he would sell all the hay and straw from the farm, and pay every body but Bibby ( his landlord); I heard him sing the song, " There is, ,& e"; lie sang it coming home from Llanfylliu, about a fort- night before he came to prison. John Gwilliam examined.-.- I lived at Penniarth when Die'keo left; I recollect him Carrying two loads of lime away; he said he can red it for spite to Bibby ; 1 heard him sing the song in the stable, " There is," &. C.; I heard Mrs. Dicken . sing if, and dance to the tune of it; I heard insolvent say, if he was put in gaol he should not remain there long. Edward- Perkin, flaxdresser, said he heard Dicken say, " Where's your Bibby, now ! I've fix'd him ; be thought to fix me." Mrs. Llewellyn, mother in- law to insolvent, was then exa- mined by Mr. Bather.— I advanced him money to set him up at Penniarth ; the property taken there and to Daywell was mine; it was part of what was contained in the assignment; I could not. afford to lose my money, and asked the insolvent how 1 was to be paid; I said 1 must take possession of the stock ; if he would not consent to that, 1 must have recourse to other meaBS; after this the assignment was drawn. In answer to questions by the Commissioner, Mrs Llewel- lyn said- - Iliad no other security before but his honesty ; 1 allowed him to buy and sell in my name; I employed him as bailiff; he sold no hay for me; I cau give no account of the hay ; I bought some hay from him, to enable him to pay some debts; he has lived with me, and 1 kept his wife and children My name is on the waggous and carts ; it was put on after the assignment. Mr. Bather said that the only answer he could make to this case w* s a technical one, namely, that at the time of this man's dealing Mr. Bibby was not a creditor; his rent . did not become due till Feb. 2. He had no doubt the insolvent was acting unfairly by removing hisstock in contemplation of the rent becoming due. Mr. Commissioner Reynolds said, it was quite clear that the insolvent was here because he would not pay Mr. Bibbv. He had but two creditois; and nodoubt bethought to take advantage of this Act to defraud Mr. Bibby, all the other creditors having been paid, lie was not entitled to the least indulgence from the Act, as he was not in a condition to ask it. The case will be adjourned till next circuit; and iu the mean time the insolvent must file a balance sheet, with every particular relating to these transactions, witllin six weeks from this time ; but if he or the woman have a particle of sense they will not appear again. There is plenty of pro- peity, and Mr. Bibby should be paid; and the insolvent is quite silly to run the risk of being remanded next circuit. The insolvent afterwards settled the business with Mr. Bibby, aud was discharged. At the Oswestry Easter Sessions, last week, Ann the wife of Phcenix Smith alias Ann Roberts, spinster, was indicted for picking a man's pocket of 25s. found guilty, and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment in the Salop House of Correction.— William Roberts, was found guilty for assaulting a constable iu the execution of his duty, and sen- tenced to be imprisoned in Salop Couuty Gaol for six months and to be kept to hard labour.— Joseph Edwards ( au old offender) was found guilty of a misdemeanor and sentenced to be imprisoned in Salop Couuty Gaol for six months to hard labour and to be well whipped.— William Evans was found guilty of a misdemeanor, and sentenced to be imprisoned in Salop county Gaol for three calendar months. At the Chester Great Session, on Friday last, the rules nisi for criminal informations in the nature of Quo Warranto, obtained at the preceding Session, against five several members of the Corporation, for usurping the corporate offices which they re- spectively hold, were made absolute.

RADNORSHIRE COUNTYELECTION.— This elec- tion took place at Presteign on Wednesday, the 9th ittst. when the Right Hon. Thomas Frankland Lewis was elected Representative of the County of Raduor in Parliament, as was anticipated, with- out opposition. Richard Price, Esq. M. P. in pro- posing the Right Hon. Gentleman to the choice of the Freeholders, stated that his ancestors had been for several centuries resident in the county, that he was a native of it, and had been an ornament to it by his character, and his talents, for several years in various honourable and important offices. He had personally known him for a length of time, and what he knew of him induced him to recom- mend him to their notice. Mr. Price said, that it had been objected to him, that he was not a proper person to represent them, in consequence of his holding an official situation under Government, it being impossible for him to attend to the duties of both, an objection which, he thought, was without foundation, inasmuch as an industrious talented person, such as he was, might so dispose of his time and attention as not to be wanting in either. Mr. Price then mentioned several persons holding important official situations under Government, who represented counties and large bodies of people, without any complaint of dereliction of duty to their constituents, and, among others, named the Right Hon. C. W. W. Wynn, who repre- sented the adjoiuing county of Montgomery, aud at the same time had for several years been Pre- sident of the Board of Controul, without any fault being in consequence found with his conduct.— The nomination of Mr. Price was seconded by Hugh Powell Evans, Esq.: the ceremony of girting the new member with a sword as Knight of the Shire, then took place-, and after the thanks of the Meeting to the High Sheriff for his able cou- duct in the chair had been proposed by the Rev. Dr. Venables, and unanimously agreed to, the pro- ceedings of the court were closed. the lawn gate, master following, and still asking their names; they did not answer; the gate closed; I cannbt say it catehed ; Mr. Shuker turned hack to the gate and pushed it against master, but not so forcibly as before ; master struck at him With a stick, but did not touch him ; defendant went oft' to the croft gate a different road to that which he came, master still asking who tiiey were. Cross- examined by Mr. HILL.— I have seen Mr. Shuker before, in his own neighbourhood; master is rather passionate; he swears sometimes rather vio- lently ; I heard him swear at Shuker ; 1 don't recol- lect him saying 44 d d rascal" or " d d villain" to defendant ; I will not swear master did not say " d- r— d scoundrel, d d rogue, d cl rascal," & c.; I don't recollect Mr. Shuker swearing ; the dogs did not run after the sheep ; the law n is uot in Mr. Bill's holding, hut in Vaughan's.; I will swear that the defendant did not say they are my dogs ;'* the sheep were Mr. Vaughau's ; Mr. Shuker said to master, 44 Touch me if you dare;" J will not swear that master held his stick up to strike Mr. Shuker; master was iu a very great passion, hut did not swear violently; 1 will swear that Mr. Bromley wentthtfo* the gate before Mr. Shuker; they were both together; Mr. Bromley could see what passed as well as 1 could the gate shut itself; Mr. Shuker went to call Vatighan ; master followed him to the turnpike road, cursing and swearing all the way ; 1 don't recollect what he said; it was not worse than the defendant said ; I will not swear that Mr. Shuker pushed the gate to hurt master, hut only to get through; master asked their names very civilly, but cannot say without some oaths ; I will swear that Mr Bromley did go thro' the gate, and not get over the stile; I will not swear that master did not hang the gate at Mr. Shuker; I am hired again for nexi year ; my wages are raised ( the witness was exceedingly reluctant to answer this question). This closed the plaintiff's case ; when Mr. HILL, for the defendant, enquired if their Lord- ships thought it necessary to proceed in this case, in consequence of the prevaricating testimony of this ( ihe only) witness.— The Court suggested to Mr. Hill to address the jury ; which he did with great humour; and, after amusing the court with remarks upon what he termed the custom of the neighbourhood of Llan- drinio, to curse and swear and be in a passion iu u " very civil" way, and jeering his learned friend ( Mr. Temple) upon the good temper of his ( Mr. T.' s) client, John Bill, Esquiie, and the irascible and annnyiuif disposition of hi « ( Mr. II.'*) client, Mister Shuker, who, he said, was as good an Esquire as John Bill, Esq. late ironmonger, London,—- he called Richard Bromley, who said — I am a farmer; I recollect Mr, Shuker coining to father's house on the 8th of May, nud going to the blacksmith's shop, and thence towanls Mr. Bill's house; they had t « o grey- hounds and a terrier; they had not a pointer.

TIIE MILITIA NEW UNIFORM.— The new uniform approved of by his Majesty for the different regi- ments of militia throughout the kingdom is now in course of delivery to them. Long lapped coats, similar to those worn by llie Guards, supersede the present jacket. The Right Hon. Earl Somers has presented an elegant piece of plate, with a suitable inscription, to R. Dausey, Esq. Adjutant of the late Worcester Yeomanry, as a mark of the Noble Earl's esteem for his services during the long period the corps was embodied. Macrcady has made his debut as Macbeth, in Paris. His reception was extremely flattering, and his acting, particularly in the supper scene, was much applauded. The Duchess d'Orleaus and Duchess de Berri, were present at the repre- sentation. Mademoiselle Sontag, the celebrated singer, made her first public appearance in this country,- at the Ki ng's Theatre, on Tuesday night. Madame Catalaui, \ vh- o, with her husband, is now at Paris, has accepted the terms otfered her by the managers ot' the York Musical Festival. For her exertions on this occasion, Madame C. is to receive 600 guineas! A Bill, brought in by Mr. Potter Macqueen, is now before the House of Commons, to repeal the several Acts which confer a Settlement by hiring and service. E. H. Delme Radcliffe, Esq. is appointed his Majesty's Gentleman of the Horse. Some Irish emigrants established in Philadelphia, lately had a dinner at which their impotent hatred of this country was manifested by their exultation over the deaths of certain British Generals who fell the late war— a more deplorably degrading: exposure of themselves could not have been presented. An Irish Correspondent informs us, that in many parts of Ireland, potatoes are selling at three- farthings the stone!— Morning Herald. It appears by a recent regulation, that it is in tended to run steam vessels in future from Margate to Oslend, aiid the Fury and Spitfire Government steamers hate already arrived from Dover, to commence carrying the Netherlands mail between the above- mentioned places. This is considered as a beneficial rind useful measure. The Nimrod, corvette, 6f 500 tons and 20 guns, is building at Deptford Yard, entirely of African oak, under the directions of the surveyors of the uavy. She is nearly ready for launching. It appears by a statement of the scale of stamp duties on Bills of Exchange in England,- laid before Parliament, that the whole amount of bills drawn in the speculative year of 1825, was* £ 600,000,000, which, supposing one- eighth part to be in circulation at a time, would add £ 70,000,000 to the currency. During the commercial distress in 1826, the amount was reduced to £ 400,000,000, which would, of course, reduce the circulating medium about £ 20,000,000— that is, as much as the whole issue of the Bank of England. There is a considerable quantity of base coin now in circulation. No less than five counterfeit sovereigns were presented at one of the Boston banks in one day the week before last. A French chemist asserts that from twenty to thirty drops of acetate of ammonia is an effectual restorative from intoxication. LONG NAME.!— Wednesday the Grand Jury for Middlesex terminated their labours for the present session. The bill of indictment preferred by Mr. Long Wellesley against Julius Hutchinson, James Edward Nixon, and George and Susannah Scott, for a conspiracy, in making and procuring others to make, fabricate, and swear to certain circumstances contained in several affidavits, in opposition to an application and petition of Mr. Wellesley to the Lord Chancellor, praying the guardianship of his infant children, " William Richard Arthur Pole Tvlney Long Wellesley, James Fitzroy Henry William Pole Tylney Long Wellesley, and Victoria Catherine Mary Pole Tylney Long Wellesley," was on Tues. day thrown out by thejiiry. In the City of Cork criminal court, it was lately given in evidence, that affidavit or alibi witnesses could be had in Cork for 7s. 6d. each !!! Government appear determined to derive some benefit from the labour of able- bodied convicts, upwards of forty of them having been lately appro- priated, in Chatham dock- yard, to do the work formerly done by a team of six horses. LIGHT HOUSK ON CALDY ISLAND.— The Trinity Board has now fully determined to build a light- house on Caldy Island, near Tenby-, Pembrokeshire, for which preparations are commenced. The site is selected, and arrangements made for the supply of stones, & c. The accomplishment of this object will prove of eminent utility to the shipping in the Bristol Channel. At the Sessions for the Borough of Yarmouth, Francis Clarke was found guilty on an indictment for feloniously refusing to surrender himself to the Commissioners under his bankruptcy, and was sentenced to seven years' transportation. On Friday last, five bailiffs were bound over by the Mayor of Preston to answer at the sessions to the charge of conspiring to defraud a poor woman, against whom they had no claim, but whose godds they had carried off and sold in the course of a levy in the house where she lodged. A party returning from the fair of Carrigaline on Monday night, about eleven o'clock, had arrived within twenty yiu'ds of the beach, when the boat in which they were unfortunately upset, precipitating twelve persons into the water, five of whom sunk to rise no more! Two of the bodies were taken up within ten minutes, and every effort was made to restore animation, but without elfect. The other three bodies were not found till yesterday. Two of the sufferers had been married only six week and two others were on the eve of being united. Their names are Mr. and Mrs Green, Mr. Cotter and Miss Evans, aud Mr. James Neagle. Green had reached the shore, but hearing his wife's cries, returned to try and save her, but it* was to share her melaucholy fate.— Dublin Evening Post. The notorious Ikey Solomons, famous as a receiver of stolen goods, and who escaped last summer from the officers who had him in custody in London, and embarked for the United States, has been cutting a conspicuous figure in New York, as a witness in a case of grand larceny, under the assumed name of William Jones; and although his testimony was impugned'on the part of the prisoners as unworthy of belief and tainted, the Jury found them guilty. It appears from the trial that the real character of this worthy is properly appreciated by the American public. GANG OF BURGLARS.— The four men appre- hended at Truro under suspicious circumstances, have . undergone several examinations ; but tho1 persons from Swansea and Greenock have come down, and two officers of the London Police have attended, they were unable to identify any of the parties as connected with the late bank robberies The officers are, however, well acquainted with the parties, of whose profession there is no doubt. Jenkins, Elli « , and Jones, have been committed to Bodmin gaol for three months, as rogues and vagabonds. The fellow who calls himself Thomas Broad is considered as the leader of the gang. He has also gone by the names of Robinson and Thornly, and appears to be an adept iu his line. He admits having been concerned in the robbery of the Fal- mouth bank in 1811, by which he netted aconsiderable sum paid for the recovery of that part of the plunder which could not be safely got rid of otherwise ; he was also tried and convicted of stealing plat belonging to Sir E. Pellew, at Plymouth, severa years since, and suffered two years' imprisonment We understand that on seeing Forrester, he assumed the utmost indifference : said they could prove nothing against him, and finally handed the officer a £ 50 Bank of England note, which he had rolled up to the size of a large pea, and which he kept amongst tobacco, in a box he carried in his por. cet, desiring that it might be taken care of for him. This fellow is still kept iu custody here, in the expectation that a clue may be obtained for con- necting him with some of the numerous bank robberies that have caused so great a sensation throughout the country.— West Briton. INGENIOUS TIME- PIECE.— Mr. Robert Menzies, an ingenious watch maker in Crieff, litis contrived a time piece of such singular simplicity, that with only two wheels and one pinion, the hours and minutes are intimated with the utmost accuracy*, and in conse- quence of the smallness of the weight ( 2lhs) the machinery is subject to comparatively little friction.— Sheffield Iris. The Emperor Nicholas has fixed his coronatioii for May 1, at Warsaw. It is a curious fact, proved by one of the mo^ t eminent medical men living, that the number of suicides is less in a given number of persons in this country than iu any other . country in Europe. France affords the largest number, arid, we believe, Prussia the next. But the reason. we have always had this bad pre- eminence assigned to us is, that no man dies suddenly in this country without an inquest being taken upon the body, which inquest is always made public. This is not the case abroad. No inquests are held, and little or no inquiry mule. The amount of bodies taken out of the Seine and deposited at the Morgue, is very great-, yet it is never published. If the bodies are owned 1 relatives and friends, they are taken away a. iil buried : if not owned they are buried after a certam time, and the public know nothing of the matter.— Evening Paper.-— This is perfectly correct. SMALL NOTES BILL.— Thisnrieasureis tot ike effect according to lawf next April \ and is there a tnaii with three grains of sense in his head who does not see that if it do take effect, we must have another panic, universal distress, and a terrible defalcation in the revenue? Oae of two things must inevitably happen: either the government must postpone that measure sine die ( and Mr. Peel will look very blue if it be postponed), or we must lay our account to meet greater difficulties than any we have yet encountered. Public credit is just getting its head above water— we are beginning to swim with the current— but if that flood- gate of public misery and ministerial error be not shut and bolted down for ever, it vvotild be much better at once to declare the nation insolvent, and offer * composition to the public creditor.—- Watchman. it appears from some of the returns ( which have been printed by order of the House of" Commons) from the King's Consuls abroad, that in parts of France^ during the last year, the price of grain, wheat especially, has been considerably higher than in England. In Marseilles, in November last, the quarter of wheat, calculating the price at the current rate of exchange, wds 65s. while the price in Eng- land was only 50s. 10d.; and in December, in Marseilles, it had risen to 72s. Id. when the price in England was, according to the Gazette, 50s. lid. Indeed, there are many Other parts of the south of Europe where the price has been recently much higher than in England. In Lisbon, wheat, calcu- lated at the current rate of exchange ( calculated at thenar of exchange the rate has been much higher), has frequently been, during the last year, from 79s. to 80s.; in Valentia, about 70s.; meantime iii Odessa the price has beeu 15s. a quarter, On a large farm of £ 1100 rental, in Wiltshire, the poor- rates have been reduced, by being confined to their honest uses, to £ 60 a- year. It was a few years ago clearly proved to a young farmer in another parish, in the same county, that by allowing4 each of the labourers half an acre of ground, at the farmer's rent, the payment for their assistance would be saved, and that then the disgrace and ill effects of pauperising a whole parish might be got rid of. The labourers were consulted, and agreed to do without, allowance if this boon were granted to them. ! n the parish of Trowbridge, the Rev. Me. Crabbe lets the glebe lands to the poor for garden** If this plan were generally adopted by the clergy it would greatly assist the poor. A HOAX.— Yesterday, about two o'clockj in coiu sequence of notices pretty liberally distributed, great crowds of persons assembled ou Westminster Bridge and in New Palace- yard, in order to see the1 Signor Giacomo Novella, known on the Continent as I'Aquila di Milano, and in London as plain Mister ' Diddle'em, fiy across the Thames, and tumble like a pea on a pipe- shank above Westminster Hall, by means of what the Signor calls the Membrane Icarie ; there was a provision in the notices, setting forth that if the day proved tempestuous, the feat would " of course," be postponed till to- morrow ( this day). At the hour mentioned, the rain began to descend copiously, and the multitude, after wait- ing till completely drenched, . quietly departed without either seeing the Signor or his perform- ance!—• Globe of Thursday. One morning last week, a man at the Spread Eagle, Market- place, amongst a variety of feats of a similar nature, boasted that he could toss over his head any dog the company might bring, by placing the animal's nostrils in his mouth. A dog was speedily proJacedt belonging to the Hornsea carrier, and, after a long and ineffectual endeavour to shuffle off the job, he attempted to seize the poor brute; he was not, however, successful, and Carlo, not liking such a customer, immediately fastened on the man's cheek, which he lacerated considerably^ aud afterwards tore his small- clothes into shrecUi— Hull Packet. MANSION- HOUSE, LONDON. James Fehrmany a persun of highly respectable connections, and confidential clerk in the house of • Ylessrs. VV. and II. B. Ward, one < » f whom is Member of Parliament for the City of London, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with hiving com- mitted a forgerv, to the amount of £ 500, upon the house of N. M. Rothschild, Esq The case exciied the greatest interest amongst com- mercial men, mmy of whom were present during the investigation, which lasted aconsiderable time. The forgery was an acceptance for £ 500, purporting to be drawn by Harriet Iki'nard. on N. IYl Rothschild. Esq. payable to the order of Messrs. St. Lurmen and Son, dated Vienna, December 26, 1827, at three months sitfht, aud also purporting to be accepted by N. M. Rothschild, 9ih January, 1828, payable at Master man and Co.' s, and to he indorsed by J. St. Lurmen and Son, Bremen, aud was payable to the order of the prisoner. Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Frauds and Forgeries, attended for the prosecution, to prevent which, we understand, the very highest and most active influence was exer- cised ; and it is probable that this influence would have had the desired effect if the hoiise of the prisoner had not been strictly searched by the officer in whose hands the warrant for his apprehension was placed. Mr. Harmer attended upon the part of the prisoner, who is nephew to one of the most respectable and popular gentlemen at the bar. Mr. Gates called the following witnesses:— Mr, Joseph Wright, of the Old Jewry, merchant, deposed that he had taken the bill for £ 500, from the prisoner, on the 15th of January last, in discharge of the pri- soner's dishonoured acceptance, held by the witness, and that he ( witness) gave the prisoner a cheque for the difference. The witness paid the acceptance into he house of Sir John Lubbock aud Co. his bankers. Mr Edmund Cleinson, a clerk to Messrs. Master- man, deposed, that the acceptance was presented at house of his employers by Messrs. Lubbock and Co. and that the prisoner, on Saturday Inst, applied at the clearing house in Lombard- street, aud wished to take up the bill, but as it would be irregular to Mow it to/ be taken up under such circumstances, the request was not complied with. Witness further staled that Mr. N. M Kothsehild kept an account at Messrs/ Masterman and Co's, and that the signature to the acceptance was a forgery. Mr. Reuben Browning, a clerk in the house of Mr. N. M. Rothschild, deposed that the signature purpo - ing to be that of Mr. Rothschild was a forgery. The neem had no correspondent at Vienna of the name of the drawer of tiie bill, nnd no person of the name of Harriet Barnard had a right to draw the bill iu ques- tion upon the house. Mr Henry Despard, a clerk in the house of Messrs. W and H. B Ward, of New Broad- street, me chants, deposed that the prisoner lived in the employment of that firm, and that he ( witness) knew the prisoner's baud- writing. Witness stated that the special in- dorsement of the bill, whereby it was made payable to the prisoner, and also that the words 44 In need with Messrs. Doxatt and Co." were iu the hand writing of the prisoner. We understand that the prisoner was apprehended at Kentish- town, at his own house, by Mr Cope, the. City marshal, on Saturday afternoon, and that during the whole of Sunday and Monday the most determined efforts were made to prevent the prosecution from being followed up. It is known that, even Mr. and Mrs. Rothschild used every argument in their power in favour of the unfortunate prisoner, who has lived highly respected, and in the most distinguished so- ciety." Mr. Cope, however, upon searching the pri- soner's trunks, found a number of forged acceptances upon the house of Baring and Co. and other eminent commercial houses in the City. This information was an effectual bar to the object of those who interfered. Nothing can now prevent the banker* from proceed- ing in the case. Application was made to them to postpone the evidence in the ca* e for one week, but the proposition would not be attended to, neither would that for a private examination be for a moment entertained. The prisoner was remanded for some days. It is impossible to describe the agony of the prisoner's wife, whoisamosi amiable and accomplished young lady, upon finding that her husband was charged with forgery. Oil Monday the prisoner wa* fully committed frr trial. THE RECLUSE. " Pav, gentle maid, wliat prompt; thee to foroali. Tl'ie put lis thy birth and fortune etrew with flowers!

WINDSOR CASTLE. { FROM THE MORNtSG HERALD.'] We are happy lo find that hilt Majesty has been sufficiently well lo inspect the new quadrangle which is now about being added to Windsor Castle; and as the construction of this truly splendid edi- fice is conducted under regulations for the most rigid exclusion of prying curiosity, a few particulars may not prove unacceptable to our readers. Mr. Wyatt- ville, the Architect, is ordered by the King, under pairt of his Royal displeasure, not to allow any person whatever lo see the interior of the new structure. In consequence of this strong prohi- bition, Mr. Wyattville was under the necessity of refusing admittance to individuals of the highest distinction. Lord Gambicr and party, and even Bishops, tried in vain to gain access. The utmost splendour and magnificence reigns throughout the apartments. The paper hangings are covered with gold. The silk hangings are wrought in panuels made on purpose. The flowers and borders consist of a species of embroidery never before seen in this country. Different individuals were employed in the manufactory thereof; so that no one out of doors could see the tout ensemble. In His Majesty's bed room there is a bath, the vapours of which when heated must rather prove an inconvenience. In the centre stands the bed, which, however, was not yet fitted up during Passion- week. It is to be placed in a recess, opposite the fire- place. On the left hand of the bed is a large Gothic window ; the bath on the right. There are three doors iu lb room, one communicating with the dressing- room. Another door opens to a private staircase, leading to the Terrace, and from thence to a private garden of about one acre. The avenue is by a double slone staircase or flight of steps, of as vast dimensions as that fronting Greenwich Hospital, and a raised terrace surrounds the garden, and separates it from the Park. A fountain, or artificial water- work, is to decorate the garden. The ceilings are all highly ornamented with gold. The windows are all of superb plate- glass, most of them five or six feet high, and about three feet wide. There are four lioge panes to each window, made to lift up, each pane being framed by itself, slipping in a groove, and lifting up separately, so as to form a distinct window. They are of the most costly materials One room on the private staircase has a glass dome or lantern, with ornamented stone- work of the finest texture, resembling filagree. There are 300 rooms, requiring 500 servants in constant attend » nce. The yard of the quadrangle is flanked by two galleries on two sides, one upwards of 200 feet long, and beautifully wrought, looking into the quadrangle, and giving light to the inner gallery The metal poles for the window curtains are fixed but covered. Some of the doors and double door have five hiusres, of the most expensive kind and exquisite workmanship, costing 30s. each. Plate glasses are in every door throughout the building, except in the bed- rooms. A new door is cut through the quadrangle, leading in a straight line to the long walk, and affording a perspective of three or four miles. One of the stone bronzed chimney pieces is supported by two Fauns, each holding two Cupids in his arms, and looking towards the fire. The new building is quite separate from the old, and appears to have no connexion with it. Th finishing will cost at least half a million. The whole is to be ready by the middle of May, when the King will give a fete, but, according to olhers by August. We regret to find that the beautiful Paintings in St. George's Chapel are about to be destroyed, part of them are so already, they being patched, and the ceiling and sides mostly spoiled though painted by the greatest masters; and form ing attraction to visitors from all quarters. Th Throne is removed from St. George's Chapel, and will be replaced by a new one. The flooring is done in oak, in imitation of Mosaic. The borders round several rooms are in small pieces of about two inches wide and short length Two rooms were completely hung, one with dar blue paper, and broad crimson border covered with gold ; the other is of a delicate salmon colour. The Royal Kitchen is very large— a fire- place at each end, and arches for chimneys. The yard of the quadrangle presents a heap of building material and rubbish. The gallery is built quite new from the foundation, as far as two sides are concerned St. George's Hall forms the third side, and th Hound Tower, with the mound of earth upon w hich it stands, forms part of the fourth. His Royal High liess the Duke of Clarence, the Heir Presumptive of the Throne, is said to be by no means partial to Windsor, in spite of its extensive and costly iin. provements. If the late Minister bad avoided send ing an expedition to Portugal, and expended i cost upon this building, the King might have had Palace worthy of the empire, and the nation some- thing to shew for its money, which would have remained in the country; and the affairs of Portu gal would be only in the same situation they ar now in. The language of those Papers which spealt the sentiments of Ministers, shews very clearly that the latter believe Russia w ill not let slip the present favourable opportunity of executing her Ion meditated designs against Turkey. There are evident indications that Austria will not look on with indifference; she has assembled 40,000 men on the frontiers of Servia, and it is believed Vienna that Russia will not be permitted aggrandize herself at the expense of Turkey, would appear that Prince Metternich and the English Ambassador are holding almost daily con ferences on this subject.— The augmentation of the French m iliary and naval force has given rise to many conjecture*. In calling attention to a new pamphlet, by the ablest champion of the Protestant cause, in or out of parliament, it is natural to recur lo the bitterness of rnge with which Dr. Philpotts has been assailed by ail the railing and scribbling promoters of popery. We recur, however, not in order to vindicate the reverend Dean, or lo assuage bis feelings,— for his character needs no vindication; and the conscious- ness of poweis which make him an object of fear, must have taught him to expect that haired which, in the souls of the feeble and the base, is ever associ- ated with fear,— hut for another purpose. This purpose is lo inquire, hy reference to their particular topics of complaint, into the real feelings of ihe complainants. Doctor Philpotts, say they, is coarse; Doctor Philpolls is intemperate. Those who make those charges, however, may be challenged to produce from all that Doctor Philpotts has ever written, one word, or one phrase unfit for the pen or ihe lips of a gentleman ; and they have bad sensible reason to feel that both bis logic and his style want the weakness of intemperance. The truth is that Doelor Philpotts is marked out for special hostility, because he is singular iu his power and in Ihe manli- ness with which be exercises il. We have arrived at a stale of decorum which, whatever may lie its ad vantages, has this inconvenience, that it affords the most convenient imaginable field for vice and fraud, while it exposes lo signal obloquy every man who stands forward in the cause of truth and honesty. It is, iu such Circumstances, a demand upon our ad- miration and gratitude, when a man of rank, of learning, and talents, such as the Dean of Chester, comes abroad, to dissipate the screen behind w hich ' ihe public enemy is lurking, regardless of Ihe personal inconvenience lo which he exposes himself. Let our readers say by what less strong dealing could the giant nuisance, demolished iu Ihe following extract, be abated ; and who hut Dr. Philpolls would have Ihe courage to deal so vigorously will) it :—• " It is Irue, that in the article of ihe Edinburgh Review, on the correspondence of King George III. with Lord Keuyon on this subject, the reviewer thinks proper lo dispose HI once of all the argument, as well as itie authority, of that great judge, by one single perl intimation, — llint his lordship knew not how lo spell,— because, forvooih, being an old- fashioned man, lie pre fened the old- iasliioned supream lo its more modern, and, it may be, more correct, form, supreme. Now, really, when one considers who Lord Kenyon was, and who Mr. Jeffrey is, ( for I shall not scruple to treat Mr. Jeffrey as > lie reviewer,) at what an immeasurable distance ihe one name stands above llie oilier,— il does require some effort of patience and forbearance, not lo have recourse lo part of Mr J.' s owu vocabulary on this occasion, and to talk a litlle of ' audacity' and 4 prodigious assurance.' " I have said lliat I shall not scruple to treat Mr. Jeffrey as the reviewer, and 1 will stale at once, why 1 choose to address myself to him in person, rather than hold communication with any of his breilireu iu mas- querade. " 1 had occasion, some years ago, to charge one of hese personages with wilful mis- slatrmenl of what I had written iu a tract which he professed to review ; he submitted in silence lo ihnt charge; and I then resolved never again to trouble myself with these ncognitos, hul tu hold the eililor responsible for every ing offensive which might appear in his review, [• cording!^, having been afterwards again insulted nd calumniated, I addressed Mr. Jeffrey himself, and xtoried from him the following verv satisfactory vowal:—' that he merely superintended or sanctioned the publication, and, therefore, 1 though he might hare been legally responsible, he is really at a loss to under stand how he could be deemed morally or individually b/ ameabtc — In olher words, lhat lie has hired himself ill lo a bookseller, to he the midwife and the nurse lo very unfathered brood of calumnies, which llie malice of his faction shall engender. A person who places himself so very low in the scale of moral feeling, cannot insult me ; and lo anv thing he may ever again sny on any concern of mine, I shall answer in the only way in which, il seems, his conscience is accessible,— through y lawyer, a channel of communication, lo which, he may be glad lo hear, I shall not easily be induced lo ' ave recourse. " Bui, iu ihe present instance, there is a duty inctim- lienl on me, quiie distinct from ail personal considera- ions. 1 have been Ihe instrument of giving to the world lellers wrillen hy Kiny George llieTllird, which, having been attacked hy Mr. Jeffrey, with a vulgar malignity, unexampled even in the litertllure of these days, it is my honnden duly lo defend. Bv Mr. Jeffrey I repeat, lliey have been attacked ; for, whether he be he original author, or not, as he * superintended and sanctioned' the attack, as lie, after reading the nauseous production of his brother reviewer, coolly and deliber- ately affixed his official fiat for ils publication, he is io ery way, iu which Ihe case can be considered, legal and moral, lilerary and honourable, complelely * purli- ceps criminis.' Besides, Mr. Jeffrey is a lawyer— among the most eminent in professional reputation al Edinburgh, and oflen called lo London to plead at Ihe bar of ihe highest r. onrl of judicature in 1 lie empire. He professes even to he something more than a mere lawyer of ihe courts : lie claims lo understand the British constitution lo watch over its interests with a most jealous eye and lo instruct and enlighten his readers in ils hidden excellencies, and, above all, iu its many secret defects. Now, such a man canllol have permitted an article, on one of Ihe niosl important chapters of constitutional law, lo enter iulo his journal, without his full approbation and cnncurience. On all Ihese accounls, therefore there is more than common fitness in trealinv Mr. Jeffrey as, in fact, the reviewer— and, I trust, IhaTuhen nexl he comes lo this metropolis, he will come blazoned in all the conscious dignity, which must attach to thai character, lie will present himself to his admiiing hearers, as one, w ho,, calling himself a Brilon, could vei Hud a gratification in insulting the memory of the father of his people— as one, uho could lifl the hoof of brutnl insolence against the dead lion of Ihe House of Brunswick— as one, who could avail himself ( as he hoped J of a miserable disguise lo outrage the feeliuug of lllis whole nation towards a King-, beloved, h>> noure7l find lamented, like George Ihe Third. This shall he his high distinction ; and, if in the scorn of every trulv English miud lie can find nothing lo abash or disconcert hint, his sensibilizes shall yet lie excited ; for I will uutke him feci, llntt the publication, which he has dared to put forth, is ns unfounded in principle, and as coniemptible in aigumeul, as it is loalhsume and detestable in spirit. " To llial easy, but odious duly, I shall now address myself— and I call on Mr. Jeffrey, if he has Ihe spirit of a nihn, either to admit his funll, or lo add lo his olher darings llie harder and bolder lask of defending what be has dared lo do. " The King, in one of his lellers to Mr. Pilt, bail said lhat lie considered Ihe coronation on III as a religious obligation on him lo maintain the fundamental maxims of ihe constitution, namely, lhat ihe Church of England being ihe established one, those who hold employments in the slnle, mnsl he members of il, and consequently obliged not only lo lake oaths against popery, but fp receive the holy communion agreeably lo Ihe riles of Ihe " Church of England. He adds, thai Ibis opinion " as not formed on ihe moment, but bad been imbibed b\ him for forty years. We have fJreuily seen the grounds on which bis Majesty's opinion rested • and whelber it be fully assented lo, or not, uo candid per- son will deny, Ihnt there was great apparent foiiudaliou for il. " Mr. Jeffrey, however, wilh Ihe folly, as well as malice, of a Ir ( 16 1 hersites, is pleased to charge his Majesty, in very plain temis, for expressing- these sen- litueuts, with ilie alternative either of falsehood or of dotage. k It is quite impossible,' says he, ' that one having all his faculties about him, could write this wilh the regard to truth, which the late King- has been so much praised for.' To piove this charge he pro. ceeds as follows. k To say nothing; of ihe" Forty In- demnity Hills which he had made Acts, how came he to puss ihe Irish Acts of 1778 and 1793, which took off infinitely more restrictions from the Catholics than they left behind them f 4^ Mr. Jeffrey knows quite well, what is Ihe nature of an indemnity act, and he has probably looked into one of those of which he is speaking. He m, ist know, therefore, t| i » t there is nothing whatever in such an act, al variance with the principle which his Majesty professed; that so far from it, a bill of indemnity pro- reeds on the very principle of recognising the binding character of ihe law, which has been violated, though it . av/.>•>.-*. fit/.

The Earl of ELDON vindicated himself against the assertions of a pamphlet ori the Unitarian Marriage Bill, from the accusation of having promised to vote for the bill if modified, or lo introduce another when it was thrown out. The learned Lord sard he did neither, and in this he was fully borne out by the Marquis of LANSDOWNB. On the third reading of the Offence against the Person Amendment Bill, Earl GRBY moved the restor- ration of the original clause by which ihe bodies of murderers are given over for dissection. The Marquis of LAXSDOWNE was of opinion that the practice tended to throw difficulties in the way of the anatomist, by associating the idea of a horrible ciime with dissection. — After a few words from Lord TENTERPHN, ihe ori- ginal clause was restored, and the bill was passed— as was the Evidence Amendment Bill. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. Some discussion took place on Mr. Littleton's reso- lutions respecting the fees for road bills; after which the question was adjourned until Monday. Mr. LITTLETON said* of the great importance of this subject he would at once satisfy the house, by a simple account of the present stale of the floating debt or mortgage on trusts in England, Scotland, and Wales. In England the amount was £ 4,474,530; in Wales, £ 238,168; and in Scotland £ 1,327,946; making a total of more than £ 6,000,000. Undef such circum- stances, it could no! be denied to be a subject deserving consideration. He would submit that the necessity for an application for such renewals should be rendered less frequent and less onerous. Since he had announced his inteniion of bringing this question before the house, with a view to remedy the grievance complained of, be had received communications from various parts of the country, stating that the trusts were absolutely break- ing down under their load of the debt. In many cases the entire receipts of two years were not sufficient lo meet the charge on a renewal. The amount of fees was £ 148, £ 83 in the House of Commons, and £ 65 in ihe Lords. At the year 1826, this average was greatly exceeded. On all the'single bills, the amount was £ 04 in the Commons, £ 61 in the Lords, aud the expenses of printing, engrossing', amendments, & c. was £- 26, making the total charge £ 184. He had lately received a letter from Devonshire, which set forth the amount of fees in the vears 1821,1823, and 1825, to be £ 278. 10s. £ 280. 10s." and £ 273 8s. Ii was not his wish at present to detain the house with further slate, ments ; ite had said sufficient lo shew the extent of the grievance which was so generally complained of. A case of a road bill in Glamorganshire might, how- ever, be added, as the expense iu lhat instance amounted to not less than £ 1000. There were, indeed, a variety of trusts, but it would be well lo consider the poverty of Glamorganshire. The remedy which he had to suggest was, an enactment that after the present Session all bills containing provisions for renewals should be entirely exempted from fees. It ought to bo considered that the very existence of those fees created the necessity for a double attendance— once before the committee on the petition, and once before the com- mittee on Ihe bill. If it should prove the intention of the house to grant a remedy, why not likew ise dispense with this second attendance? He meant, therefore, likewise to propose that attendance on the committees on bills should be dispensed with. The expense of engrossing and printing miyht also be discontinued. One of bis resolutions would, nevertheless, make an exception iu cases of noncompliance with the standing orders. It was also his desire to sanctum the payment of single fees only, and that bills should in no case be subject to further charge. The last resolution was one of very considerable importance. It referred to an extension of the term which would require a renewal. He would extend it from 21 years to a teim not exceed- ing 31 years. Such a measure, carried fully into effect, would induce a saving of one- half. The solicitor's attendance was quite unnecessary, aud might be dis- continued for the future. HOUSE OF LORDS— WEDNESDAY. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the Wool- growers of the West Division of the County of Sussex against the importation of Foreign Wool.— His Grace expressed bis intention of moving for a . Select Committee to inquire into the grievances of Ihe British Wool- growers, unless some such proceeding was adopted by the other House. Lord MALMESBUH? expressed his gratification at the Noble Duke's intimation. The present low duty of one halfpenny per lb. was totally inadequate to protect the British wool- grower: at the same time, he did not wish it to be so high as sixpence per lb.; lie wished tUe duly to be fixed at an intermediate rate. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from a congregation of Protestant Dissenters, of Lewes, in Sussex, praying that the Bill for a repeal of the Cor- poration and Test Acts might not pa& s into a law. Lord KING conld not conceive how any body of Dissenters could sign such a petition, unless it were from that class of miserable Dissenters, me Wesleyan Methodists, who were certainly the most intolerant beings on the earth. Lord FALMOUTH expressed his indignation that any Noble Lord should rise up and call such a respectable class of individuals as the Wesleyan Melhodists— because they happened to differ iu some points from the Established Church—" miserable Dissenters." fHtecrUartcotis Eimiltgnicr. The Morning Chronicle has extracted Ihe follow- ing from a Work, lately published by Mr. Sadler, entitled " Ireland, ils Evils, and Iheir remedies,"— a work which is a great monument of industry, research, talent, and zeal. We may be sine thai if the truth were not forced upon such a journal it would not confess, what is here demonstrated, lhat Ihe poor laws, instead of promoting, diminish pauperism. lt it is generally believed in England, Ihat in no country is the number of poor so great as here. The population of England and Wales, in 1821, was 12,218,500; aud ihe number of persons relieved per- manently and occasionally out of Ihe rules, iu 1814- 15 ( Ihe last return), without including the children of individuals relieved permanently out of workhouses, was 895,336. The sum expended in 1814 on Ihe pour, without including law expenses, was £ 6,294,583. The sum expended iu Ihe year ending 25lli Match, 1827, was £ 6,441,1188— no material increase in the money expended. The population of ihe kingdom of Ihe Netherlands in 1820, to fue millions and a half, and had been increasing al Ihe rale of 60,000 per annual. The number of poor receiving assistance at their own homes, in 1825, according to a report hy Ihe Home Department, was 703,000, amounting to 117 and a fraction in every 1000. The English returns are inaccurate, as we have staled; but, making every ' allowance for the children not included, the proportion ol poor lo the rest of the population must he much lower than the proportion in the Netherlands. Nearly one half of the poor of the Netherlands ore slated to lie indigent from superabundance of children. This cause of pauperism in England is local; for in a great number of ihe counties, the families of labourers and artizans, however numerous, are supported wholly from wages. it would appear lhat France contains also A LARGER INDIGENT POPULATION TUAN ENGLAND. In Jlr. Sad- ler's lale publication some fads are brought together on this subject, from which this imiy he inferred. For instauce, in llie twelve arroudissemenls of Paris, con- taining in 1823 a population of 713,066 souls, ihe reporter of ihe bureaux de Chortle states the total of Ihe indigent assisted at their dwellings or other- wise Population of ( Hospices}..., hospitals and almshouses 125,500 61,500 187,000 , & c. And to this number must be added foundlings " Bui England has not only fewer necessitous people lhaii several of I he neighbouring countries, bill she has aciually fewer, compared wilii the population, limn she had in former limes Great priiise bus been be- stowed on Mr Gregory King, for ihe accuracy of bis calculations, by Mr. Charles Davenanl, who adopted bis statements, and by other contemporary writers. He makes the population of England, in' 1688, lo amount to 5,500,520, aud ihe number of collagers and paupers receiving aid lo amount lo 1,300,000. If the sum paid in poor- rates at Ihut time amonnted only lo £ 819,000, we tliasl bear in mind that this sum is gretner, compared with llie then funds of society, than ihe sum now paid to Ihe poor is lo the present tunds of society. The indigence is no! greater now than i'l was formerly, hut it is belter attended to. England is Ihe country of exaggeration and alarm ; and on no sub. jeel lias ihere been more exaggeration resorted to than in Ihe cose of Ihe poor. I excuse the violation in consideration of Ihe special • ircumslaniPs of the occasion. As far, therefore as lie Indemnity acts are concerned, ii is ijuiie plain, lhat Mr. Jeffrey has de this indecent ( barge absolutely without a particle of ground on which lo sustain il." The officers who have returned from Lisbonfhave been ordered at the Horse Guards to hold them- selves in readiness to go out again. They all agree in saying that, if our countrymen and their property w ere secure, nothing could be better than to let the factions in Portugal tear one another iu pieces, it being quite impossible to sav which is the more corrupt, ignorant, and contemptible Uumpshire Advertiser. The Currency Question and Country Banks. [ FROM THE NETV TIMES ] There are two questions which a Statesman has lo resolve when he ventures on any new or uuli'ied measure. 1. Is it desirable ? 2 Can it be carried into execution ? Unfortunately it is a much easier lask for a legislator toexaminea theory, or lo estimate Ihe force of an abstract argument, than it is to collect, compare, and weigh Ihe numerous fads, whose consideration are absolutely necessary to solve Ihe second question. Il requires more lime— mine labour — and in appearance, though not in realilv, fewer talents, to enter upon stirb an examination, and therefore idle men dislike and brilliant men despise the lask. Thus il for Ihe most pari happens, lhat iu planning enactments which go very seriously lo affect numerous aud important interests, ti e manner and degree of iheir influence are very slighllv attended lo ; — and sometimes wholly neglected. ' I here are many problems in practical publics, which are not Ihe less line, that they do not admit of a rigidly logirial proof; and Ihere aie many problems in theoretical politics which are not the less inapplicable that Ihey do. We see no danger in theoretical men, considered as such. In facl, without a knowledge of theory, no mail can be a slalesmaiK Hot we see great and imminent danger when men alio are theorists, aud nothing else, interpose lo regulate the complicated machine of the Stale. Our present Ministers are nol of this description; aud, with talents to appreciate just theory, they have also laleuls lo calculate Ihe numerous disturbing forces lo which ihe nature of our social system gives birlh. Yel we cannot help think- ing, thai there are some measures into which they have gone, ( we speak of them here as individuals,) nol from lark of knowledge, much less from any improper motives, but solely because I hey have not attended snfficieully lo Ihe whole of Ihe particulars necessary to answer truly and well the second question above adverted to, w hich iheir more informed judg- ments would lead tliein se. riuosly lo consider. We should feel some hesitation in pointing oot Ihe. propriety of such a reconsideration, had we weaker men lo advise, because we should anticipate from them, as usually happens, a more obstinate determi- nation lo remain sledfast lo their errors. But when we address Mr. Peel, we know lliat we address one, who is not ashamed at any lime lo avow lhat he is wiser Io- day than he was yesterday. Willi this knowledge of his character, aud confidence in his candour, we slate to him that, among the measures requiring re- consideration, is that which declares thai all one. pound notes must cease afier July, 1829. Without one- pound notes it is universally admitted thai Hie country banks must cease lo do business, or do it oil so narrow a scale as lo be of no use lo them- selves or their employers. This would, in itself, lie a great evil; for the men whom it would directly visit, are numerous, wealthy, and respectable ; but the evil cannot rest here. Without country bankers Ihe internal commerce of Ihe country must suffer a contraction fatal to its prosperity, if not lo ils existence. From every quarter of Ihe country such is Ihe language lhat reaches us. It calls for attention, and ought to have it. It is true, another Session of Parliament must intervene before the legislative enactment to which we allude can come into operation ; but it would, we think, be unwise to allow this to pass, without some motion, which may tranquillize the fears so extensively felt from it. It was passed in a moment of great excitement, and that circumstance alone would furnish sufficient grounds for a calm review of its probable cunse- quences. But there are higher and more imperative reasons, reasons not accidental but permanent. Even, if upon such a review as we would recommend, it should be determined to leave the enactment un- disturbed, the review would not be made in vain. But we are much deceived if that would be the con- clusion come to. Treasures of the Turkish Seraglio. A Nenpolitan paper contains the following ac- count:—" Several laws of the Koran, enjoin the Mussulmans to lay by sums of money. In order to observe this precept, each Sovereign, residing in Con. staiitinopie, since Mahomet II. who made the con. quest of this city in 14.53, encloses in a chamber of the Seraglio ihe gold, silver, and other riches which he intends lo economize. The sum that each Sultan puts aside in this manner amounts lo about £ 480,000, a kind of tariff fixed upon by common rnstom. In- dependently of the duty of ihe Sovereign iu placing lo tiiis amount the sums received from the * axes\ and not expended, he conceives it to be agreeable lo Heaven, and to the nation, iu adding to this fund the presents thai are made him, either in precious stones or other articles of considerable valne. It is well known how punctilious the Turkish Sovereign is in this res peer j his subjects, as well as foreigners, can not obtain what they solicit, even according to all principles of justice, unless they add lo Iheir peli lions, presents, the valne of which is proportioned to the object they desire. No one can be ignorant of the extent of Confiscations pronounced in an arbitrary manner by the despot of Constantinople against private individuals, and against the Pachas-, aud when he bos deposited these snms iu bis sinking fund, iu his opinion the iuiquiiy of such measures is im mediately obliterated. Superstition, in the Ottoman territory, has attained lo such a degree, lhat ihe people are persuaded, Ihe more Ibis fund increases, ihe more his reign will be fortunate and prosperous This fund is, therefore, called l4 » e Sacred Treasure, History does not confirm this opinion; but the Turks care very lillle about history, or Ihe lessons it affords, Arid what becomes of this treasure accumulated in so considerable a manner by each Sultan ? This is curious- question. Every year the Kislar Aga, the Chief of the black eunuchs, makes an inventory of the riches amassed during ihe I welvemoulh •, and Ihe operation being terminated, the Grand Seignior, ac companied by the principal officers of the Crown, repairs in grand ceremony lo the chamber of the Treasury, aud places his signet upon the chests After Ihe death of the Sovereign there are found as many chests in this chamber as he lived years. The chamber is then closed, and Ihe signets of every one of the principal officers placed upon the door; and an inscription is added, indicating that in this place is the treasure of such a Sultan. His successor forms his treasury in another room of the Seraglio, and after his death il is also closed, and the same circu stances occur during each new reign. Now, as from ihe lime of Mahomet II. Constantinople numbers 4 Sultans, there exist in ihe Seraglio 41 chambers, con taining each the treasure of each of these Sovereigns In order to touch any of these treasures— to dare to enter a single one of Ihese numerous chambers would be necessary that the Ottoman empire wer reduced lo the lowest extremity." GLOUCESTER ASSIZES, APRIL 9. As there is no country in the world where public mo nnments suffer more front depredations and wanton in chief than in ibis, the following case will not be unit) leresiing. John Jones and Daniel Jones were indicted foi ceiving certain brass plates, which had been altocbci to a tomb- stone, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Barry St. Leger having stated the case for the prosecution, Mr. Baron Vaughnn inquired how the indictmen would lie, the plates having been attached to the free hold, and therefore not chattels. Mr. Barry St. Leger referred bis lordship tn a clause in one of Mr. Peel's acts [ 1 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29, s. 49) by which the ripping- and stealing any metal, glass, o wood work from any building-, or any thing made ol metal, fixed in any land being- private property, or i any place dedicated to public use or ornament, is mad larceny. The learned counsel submitted, that if . Umb could not be construed as a building within th meaning of the act, these plates were certainly fixed i a land being private property, namely, that of the pa. son; aud still more a place dedicated to public use, viz, a church- yard. The learned judge having decided that ihe case d come within this clause, the trial proceeded. It was then proved that depredations of this d esc rip. tiou bad been carried to a great extent in the neigh- bourhood of Minchinhampton, whence the prosecution came. That one of the prisoners, a watchmaker by trade, bad been discovered melting down at untimely hours fragments of brass, apparently parts of plates bearing inscriptions. These were pro'duced, and two of the pieces which corresponded were identified by Drew a glazier, over whose children Ihe plates had been placed. He spoke in particular to part of the inscrip- tion, in verse, which was still visible. An engraver also, who had engraved the plates, proved the engrav- ing to be part of his master's workmanship. The ex- aminations of the prisoners were then given in, in which Daniel Jones stated he had received the brass from his brother, aud his brother said he had found it in a cleft in a rock. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. Some little discission having arisen on the point of law, the learned judge observed, that reserving the point for the opinion of ihe judges would detain Ihe prisoners longer in prison than a sentence passed at once. He reserved, however, his decision till this day, when, the prisoners being brought up for judgment Mr. Baron Vaughan addressed them, mid observed that they had been only indicted for receiving, or he should have felt it his duly to pass a much " heavier sentence upon them, as the " offence was of a most seri- ous nature. He bad inquired into their character, and finding this to be Iheir first offence, be Was disposed lo be lenient with them, in hopes it might have a good effect. The sentence of the court was, that thev should be imprisoned in the Penitentiary for three mouths, and kept to hard labour. The Cabinet Ministers, it seems, have been passing some days with the Duke of Wellington at his country seal. There is much good sense as well as good taste in this, though, Strange to Say* his Grace is, we beiieve, the first Prime Minister who has ever given a night's lodging to his felKm- labourers iu the field of politics. VVe hear continually of the " de- liberations" of the Cabinet, and have often considered how those deliberations can be satisfactorily carried on amidst the hurry and turmoil of official occnpa tioiij and cannot help thinking lhat it would be highly advantageous lo Ihe country if those intrusted with ils highest interests could now and then retire from the busy world, and didcuss, in lhe calmneSs and uninterruption of rural retreat, objects w hich require more deliberation and abstraction than can be given to them in the hurried round of official and Par- liamentary pursuits.— English Chronicle. The battalions of the Grenadiers and 3d regiment of Guards, upon service in Lisbon, arrived on Tuesday evening in London. The Lightning and Meteor steamers took the troops on hoard in the Downs, and sailed from Sheerness on Tuesday morning, with the government tenders, having; on board the ammunition, baggage, & c. in tow. About three o'clock the steamers hauled up to the moorings at the Tower wharf, and the arrival of the troops was received by three cheets from hundreds of their friends, who lined the shore. Some of the battalions of the 1st regiment landed at Deptford, and marched to the Knighlsbridge barracks. The waggon. train and artillery landed at Woolwich. The cavalry have landed at Portsmouth, and other portions of the troops will land al Chatham, Deal, Plymouth, & c. The 3d regiment and a battalion of lhe 1st landed at Ihe Tower wharf at four o'clock, under ihe superintendence of their officers. The landing had an interesting appearance; the soldiers were brought ashore in lighters, in divisions of 100 men, and formed in companies upon the wharf; and, afiera brief inspection, marched into ihe barracks. The brave fellows were generally surrounded, upon landing, by tbvir wives, children, and relations, who, it will be remembered, were not permitted to accompany them on the expedition ; and some of the veterans were seen embracing their children with emotions which may be better imagined by those who have experienced such scenes than described. The appearance of the men was generally healthy. At the close of the lale Newmarket Craven meeting 4,000 guineas were offered by a noble lord to Mr. Gully for Mameluke, and refused. ROMAN CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.— The corpo- ration of Dublin has forwarded a petition to our respectable representative, George Moore, Esq. for presentation lo parliament, praying the interference of ihe legislature lo put down the Roman Catholic Association. The facts stated in this petition are well worthy of ihe attention of Parliament, and have been set forth in plain and energetic language. It has been revised by our newly elected recorder, in his official capacity of adviser to the corporation.— Dub- lin Packet. On the night of Sunday last, a house ( situated within a mile of Roscommon), furniture, and two stacks of corn, were maliciously burned by some persons as yet unknown. The supposed cause, as stated to us by our correspondent, arose in conse- quence of the proprietor of the place having, some ime since, mairied a Protestant -^- Dublin Evening Packet. Intelligence has been received that Mr. Finlay, a Scottish Gentleman in the Greek servicej was killed on the 29th of January, hi a sally rhade by the Turkish garrison in the eastle of Scio.

Cockburn, and Sir Thomas Mas- terman Hardy, arrived at Chatham Bock- yard, from Sheerness, in the Lightning steam vessel, and visited the Port- Admiral, Sir Henry Blackwood.— On the following morning they proceeded, together with Sir Byam Martin and Sir Robert Seppings, to nspect the magazine of the Alfred 50- gun ship, which is fitted in midships, on a newly proposed plan. The principle of having only one magazine is highly approved of, and it is thought, will be generally adopted. Some essential alterations were directed to be made in order to render it complete. They afterwards proceeded to view the copper on the bottom of the Seringapatam, whereon cast- iron protectors ( as they are termed, but this is evideutly a misnomer) were fitted about two years ago, by way of experiment, to ascertain if the copper would thereby be prevented from corrosion. This protector was a hobby- horse of Sir Humphrey Davy's, on which he had been cantering some years, the fallacy of which, this trial, like all the former ones, has completely proved. In the vicinity of these protectors on the bottom of the ship, au accumulation of oyster- shells was found, sufficient to fill several bushels, some of them of the largest size; also a very considerable quantity of marine excresences, resembling coral, thickly matted together; whilst the protectors were in so com- plete a state of decomposition as to be easily cut through with a pen- knife, and, wherr pulverised, resembled black lead. The copper, by the ad- hesion of these substances, is also much injured This total failure will, we imagine, supersede the necessity of pursuing the experiment farther. STRIKING INSTANCE OF INTEGRITY.— About six years ago, a merchant, whose name we forbear to mention, became bankrupt. A statement of his affairs being laid before his creditors, showed that the effects would yield 12s. per pound, which sum was ultimately realized, and paid to all concerned. In 1823, the gentleman left Leith for Van Dieman's Land, where he was move successful than he had been in this country. A gentleman in this place lately received a letter from him, enclosing bills sufficient to pay the old deficit of 8s. in the pound, with interest from the time of his failure, besides an additional sum of £ 30 to pay any contingent expenses that may have arisen. What makes this the more praise worthy, is the fact that he received a full and free discharge before leaving this country. It is in con temptation to present him with a piece of silver plate, to show that if the debtor has been honest, the cre- ditors have been grateful.— Scotsman. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.— About ten o'clock on Friday forenoon the inhabitants and passengers the upper part of Lord- street, Liverpool, were on a sudden greatly alarmed by a heavy crash, which was instantly discovered to have proceeded from the fall of seven blocks of stone, weighing on the average about half a ton each, which had recently been set in the cornice between the second story and the attic of three new houses building at the corner of Marshall. street, fronting to Lord- street. One of the blocks had fallen upon a poor man, a labourer on the works, who was at the moment passing below with a hod on his shoulder, and he was discovered doubled up beneath it. Several workmen who ran to the spot instantly removed the stone, but the poor fellow expired with a single groan, at the moment of its being raised. He Was removed, a dreadfully mangled corpse, to the house where he lodged in Atherton- street. He was a single man who had arrived only a day or two before from Manchester. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF SMUGGLED TOBACCO. — The most extensive seizure of contraband tobacco for many years in this port, was eftected on ' I hursday night, by James Wallace, Esq. collector of the Customs, under the following circumstances. About 8 o'clock on lhat evening the brig Pomona, of London, Captain Lawless, arrived in the river opposite the quay, and was instantly boarded by Mr. Wallace, who placed the master and crew under arrest and lodged them in gaol. The vessel was reported lo be from Portsmouth, with a cargo of bark aud hoops. Yesterday morning, on clearing away some of the bark in the main hatching, a large quantity of tobacco was discovered, made up in handy bales of 60lbs. weight each ; and all yesterday porters were busily employed in discharging aud lodging it in the custom- house stores. It is said lhat from 15 to 20 tons weight were on board, which will be a valuable prize to the seizing officers; it is supposed that it will not he less than £ 4,000 This vessel and cargo will be forfeited. — iVaterford Mail, April oth. At Reading ( Berks) Sessions last week, the Ma- gistrates refused the customary expenses to Over- seers for Vestry dinners; thus putting a veto on parish gormandising ? ANCIENT PALACE.— The demolition of the ancient palace of Eltham, in Kent, is expected shortly to take place. Some of the materials o^ the^ internal roof, which'is of timber, will be con- veyed to Windsor Castle, its structure beifigf curiously wrought, similar to that of Westminster Hally and richly ornamented with line carved pendants. This stately hall is now used as a barn, and they thrash the corn, where, in ancient days, Edward III. held a parliament, and gave a sump- tuous entertainment to the captive king John of France ?—" Sic transit gloria mundi! The time of its building is uncertain, butsupposed to have beeft prior to the year 1270. For several centuries if was a favourite retreat of the English monarchs; Henry III. kept his Christmas here in a sumptuous style, accompanied by his Queen, and all the great men of the realm. In the next reign, Anthony Beck, Bishop of Durham, obtained possession of it, and left it to the crown. The Queen of Edward III. was here delivered of a son, who had the name of John of Eltham, from the place of his birth. Henry Vlll. gave a grand feast here at Whitsun- tide, 1515, when he created Sir Edmund Stanley, Baron MonteagJe7for his ser\ ices at Flodden Field. Queen Elizabeth, who was born at Greenwich, was frequently carried thence to EJtham, when an infant, for the benefit of the air, and this place she visited in 1559; but on the rise of Greenwich,- the palace was gradually deserted. At the Christmas festivals, 2,000 persons have been sumptuously fed. Who can describe the sensations created on visiting this place in its present state, and contrasting it when in its meridian pomp of feudal grandeur? THE DIAMOND— The most extraordinary fact respecting the diamond is, that it is combustible; lhat it is, in fact, so far as chemistry can discover, nothing but pure charcoal in a state of crystallization. It is scarcely less extraordinary, if any thing can be counted extraordinary relating to Sir Isaac Newton7 lhat he should have discovered, by conjecture, this combustible property of the diamond, long before it was experimentally proved by burning it. He had remarked that all substances arfe combustible which? have a great power of refracting light, or bending it out of its direction. Amber, for example, and sulphur are combustible, and at the same time strongly refractive. By generalising the remark, Newton inferred that both the diamond and water are com- bustible, an inference now fully established in both instances. Before the lustre and water of thediamomi can he well understood, the refraction of light must be thoroughly known. Every body knows the nursery experiment of putting a piece of money iu an empty basin, retiring till il disappears, and then causing it to re- appear by water being poured over il to refract the light. On the same principle, a clear stream appears to be of less depth than it really is, - nd this has allured many an unwary youth to his destruction. A more wonderful circumstance is, thai this principle of refraction causes the sun and the rest of the heavenly bodies to appear, not where they really are, but where they were some time before; and in the case of their rising and setting, we always, by means of the refractive power of the air, see them both before they actually rise and after they actually set. The highly refractive power of the diamom* throws back the light that falls on it, instead of allowing the rays lo pass through il, as glass does. This gives the gem a sparkling brilliancy which uo< art can fully imitate. Il is this, and not any phos- phorescent property, that causes it even to sparkle in ihe dark, of which so many fables are related in the Arabian Tales. In the deepest darkness there are always some wandering rays— some stray pencils of light to render the " darkness visible," and these, how few or small soever, the diamond collects to a point, aud flashes them back into Ihe gloom. The property of sparkling, therefore, is oue test by which a genuine diamond may be known from spurious? imitations, or from the more splendent sorts of rock- crystal, and other gems, which are sometimes passed off for diamonds •^• Vemlam. NATURAL BAROMETERS.---- The following are a few of those plants which indicate changes In the weather:— Chickweed is an excellent barometer. When the flower expands fully, we are not to expect ain for several hours; should it continue in that state, no rain will disturb the summer's day. When it half conceals its miniature flower, the day is generally showery but, if it entirely shuts up, or veils the white flower with its green mantle, let the traveller put on his ereat coat. The different species of trefoil always contract their leaves at the approach? of a storm ; so certainly does this take place, that these plants have acquired the name of the husband- man's barometer. The tulip and several of the com- pound yellow flowers also close before rain. There is, besides, a species of wood sorrel, which doubles i!* leaves before storms and tempests. The baubinia, or mountain ebony, cassia, aud sensitive plants, observe the same habit.— Philosophy in Sport. USEFULNESS OF SPARROWS— The ignorant have condemned the sparrow as a most noxious bird,' fit only to be extirpated; but it has been proved, by the observations of Mr. Bradley, that a pair of sparrows, during the time they had young, carried lo the nest forty caterpillars iu oue hour; aud sup- posing them employed with equal diligence for twelve hours a day, they will, in one week, consume the astonishing number of 3,360 caterpillars. Thus at* all- wise Providence checks the inordinate increase of insects; which, however useful iu themselves, would, if left unmolested, propagate w ith such rapidity as to consume Ihe vegetable productions of the e. arth, and leave it a desert waste. Of ihe genus Parus, or lit mouse, during spring they are frequently observed searching for the larvae of the tortrices, so abundant among Ihe opening buds of fruit trees, thus benefiting man iu a considerable degree. But their services are no better regarded than those of olher small birds 5 the thoughtless gardener, supposing them the enemies of his blossom, destroys them without mercy. Mr. Gait, the popular author of " The Annate of the Parish," & c. is now engaged in building f\ town on the table- land of Upper Canada, which he has named Guelph, in honour of the Royal Family. It was commenced ou St. George's day last, 23d April, and already 100 houses are in course of erection, together with an Episcopalian, Presbyte- rian, and a Roman Catholic Church, and a Public School; 800 persons have placed themselves under his direction, and he earnestly entreats assistance from the British Government in providing Ministers and Teachers, in order that the inhabitants of this new Colony may not become lost in ignorance, like the majority of the population in that vast country. The approach to Guelph is magnificent in the ex- treme— from the main road an avenue, 120 feet wide, is cut for seven miles, through a forest of trees which rise to the height of from 120 to 150 feet.— Edinburgh Cour ant. PROPORTION OF CRIME.— From the records of the Spanish courts of justice in 1826, as compared with the amount of the population, it appears that there is one criminal in 885 persons; in France it has been estimated there is one in 1,172, and in England one iu 1,226. If any confidence is to be placed in these results, and we are disposed to regard them as an approximation to the truth, what reflections do they not suggest on the state of these countries respectively! PREVENTION OF POISON BY OXALIC ACID.— In the event of a person having swallowed oxalic acid, by immediately taking a mixture of whiting or chalk and water, the danger will be in a great measure prevented. The oxalate of lime may be afterwards expelled from the stomach either by an emetic, or by a brisk cathartic, which will be much preferable, producing less irritation on the coats of the stomach.
