THE PUBLISHER'S ADDRESS. N the Appearance of the Sixth Edition of Part the First of the LONDON ENCYCLOPEDIA, the Proprietor feels it incumbent upon him to offer his grateful Acknowledgments to the Public, for the un- exampled Success which his arduous Undertaking has hitherto experienced ; a Success which in the best and most flourishing Times could scarcely have been anticipated : but which, under the sudden, severe, and protracted Check which the Trade of the King- dom has received, is altogether without precedent. This most welcome and efficient Testimony of public Favour, he chiefly attributes to the Plan of the Work; — its Adaptation in Form, in Substance, and in Price, to the largest Portion of the Reading Commu- nity ; and above all, to the zealous and anxious Care with which he has uniformly watched over its Pro- gress, and the Solicitude which he has ever cherished, rather to exceed his Engagements, than to fall short of them. Encouragement is the Soul of Enterprise and the Publisher has been stimulated by extraor- dinary Patronage to make unremitting Exertions, and even Sacrifices, in order to secure and deserve it in a far more extended Degree. Thus, instead of appro printing the present Profits of the Undertaking, he lias invariably thrown them back upon the Work itself; and he trusts, Improvement in the Variety, the Oiiginality, and the Accuracy of the Articles in each Department, is visible to every Reader. The Con- tributors possess the highest Qualifications for the respective Tasks assigned to them ; their Number lias been augmented, and their Remuneration increased It is not necessary to refer to particular Articles as Specimens of the Abilities of those who* e Pens he has engaged. Yet he imagines that, without Presump- tion, he may affirm, that in all the essential Requisit of Science, Literature, and good Writing, the LONDON ENCYCLOPEDIA is not inferior to any of its Prede- cessors or Contemporaries, while it combines in every Branch all the Improvements which ate to be derived from its being the last in order of Time. The Publisher does not arrogate to himself the Merit of disinterested Generosity in having thus for the present relinquished pecuniary Ad vantages, to which he had a reasonable Claim. He willingly acknowledges that his Views havt been prospective; knows that Confidence inspires Confidence, and that a liberal Spirit in carrying forward great Under- takings, in which the Public are deeply interested, ill sooner or later insure ample Compensation ami Reward. Now that the Work is thus far advanced, and its Publication has been punctual and regular, the Proprietor trusts that those who hesitated to become Purchasers, lest the Speculation should fail, will no longer apprehend a Result, to avert which, were it necessary, he would readily sacrifice all the Property he possesses in the World. He has em- barked in the Undertaking, and the Arrangements for its Completion are a3 perfect and as stable as any Thing which Man can devise or accomplish. There are still very large Classes of the Community to whom the LONDON ENCYCLOPEDIA is unknown : they are. not aware probably of its Nature and Object — that with a Cheapness, which, but for the Exten- siveues* of its Sale, would injure the Publisher, it combines all that is essential and really important in Works of three Thnes its Magnitude and Price; and that it may be universally acceptable,— in all the great debatable Points, which belong not properly to Knowledge, because the Opinions of the wisest and the best of Men are at Variance upon them, the Editor has taken the utmost Care to avoid exciting either political or religious Animosities. The object of the Work is to give Information on all Subjects, but not to play the Advocate or Special Pleader with Regard to any. Churchmen and Dissented tif all Sects and Classes may here learn what each other think ; but they will not find the LONDON ENCYCLO-. PEDIA an Arsenal, furnishing them w ith Weapons to carry on either an offensive or a defensive War. On the present Subscribers the Publisher grent'y depends for an increased Circulation of the Work. Among their numerous Connexions let it form the Topic of Discussion ; let Attention be invited to its Principles, and to the Peculiarities which distinguish it; let each one feel himself pledged to multiply in his own Circle the Number of its Supporters ; and the Publisher pledges himself in return, not to relax in bis Efforts to render every succeeding Volume still more worthy of Patronage than the last, aiming at universal Excellence, that he may be justly entitled to universal Patronage. To the Clergy of all Denomi nations, and to all those influential Persons who, in a Free and Commercial Country like Great Britain, are diffused through the entire Community, the Publisher on the present Occasion makes his earnest Appeal. Society is now so far advanced, that the people must be supplied with Mental Resources : let them have Science without Scepticism, Literature without Irre- ligion, nud Intellectual Enjoyment without the Sacri- fice of Moral Principle. WINCHESTER. Several German journals have published state- ments respecting the military force of Russia, which are more or less inaccurate. We have procured on this Subject information drawn from documents which merit entire confidence, and will lose no time in transmitting it to you. The army of Georgia, or of the Caucasus, bad suffered at the beginning of the war against the Persian^ considerable losses, caused by the I salubrity of the climate; but by the reinforcements which it received in July and August last, it has been completed to 75,000 men. The troops in the military colonies are between 60,000 and 70,000 men, of whom only 30,000 could take the field. The amount of the garrisons in the several fortresses of Europe is estimated at 75* 000 men. The first army, of which the head quarters are at Tulczyn, and which is 90,000 strong, consists of the corps cantoped in Courland and Livonia, ot the guards, and the first corps of the cavalry of reserve. These troops will require 20 days to concentrate themselves, as their cantonments extend for 140 leagues, from Polangerd to Pleskow. The army of the west, nearly 160,000 strong-, had its cantonments from Choczym on the Pruth to Czerkasy on the Dnieper, an extent of about 110 leagues. It is this army which has been on its march for this month past, to take up a concentrated position. It has furnished numerous reinforcements to the army in Bessarabia, now 80,000 strong, which waits only for orders from St Petersburgh to pass the Pruth, and enter the Moldavian territory. The army of the centre amounts to 280,000. Its canton- ments are very extensive, for it is 240 leagues from Karzin to Saralow, and nearly 300 from Ostroy to Nourom, on the frontier of the government of WJtuJamir and Nishnei Novogorod. This army would require two months to assemble in Volhynia. In 1812, the Russian army amounted to only 411,000 men, including the guards, of which two- thirds were opposed to the French under Buona- parte. The Polish army, including the corps of Lithuania, is between 6R, OJO and 70,000 men. Thus the whole force of the Rtissian empire is about 700,000 men, of whom about 300,000 are at present ready for action.— Allgemeine Zeituvg. FOGS AND DAMP AIR. RETTON'S BRITISH Is. yd. the Battle.

MOST IMPUDENT ROBBERY.— The following successful case of barefaced robbery cannot easily be surpassed by the most expert professors of con- veyancing of the present day. Last week, an honest farmer, from the eastern part of the county of Essex, attended with some stock to dispose of, at Rum ford market. In the course of the day he met with a person who claimed his acquaintance, and mentioned circumstances that convinced the fanner they must have often met before. The farmer sold his beasts; retired with his old aequaintanee to a public house, where they drank freely, and they both proceeded on horseback towards Chelmsford. On the road, how. ever, they stopped to bait their horses, and had miire to drink, until the farmer was too much inebriated to proceed farther that night. They slept in a double bedded room, and, early in the morning, the farmer being still asleep, his friend dressed himself in his clothes, in the pockets of which his money was de posited, paid the expenses of the night, proceeded to the stable, and was ready to mount the farmer's horse worth 40 guineas, leaving his own old horse and clothes with the farmer in lieu. Just as he v leaving the house the farmer awoke, and finding his quondam friend and his money gone, he got hastily up, put on the clothes left for him, and came down stairs in time to prevent, as he thought, the escape o* his old acquaintance. The knave faced him boldly before the landlord and servants, dressed and mounted as we have described, and succeeded in convincing them that the farmer was an impostor j this was easier done, as the parties were strangers in the house. The villain even proposed that they should rid together to Chelmsford, when his identify could be proved by many respectable persons. As matters stood, the farmer agreed to this arrangement, and mounted the rogue's olrl horse. They had not pro- ceeded far when the farmer's palfrey became so lame that he could scarcely walk, the thief having* while in the stable, driven a nail in the animal's foot. I t was then that the cheat applied lite spur to the horse lie rode, and soon left the farmer to get borne as well as he could, minus a suit of clothts, his horse, and £ 140 in cash. On Sunday afternoonf the wife of Mr. Alchin, of Linton, having occasion to go near a cess- pool ( about five feet deep) at the back of her house, saw on the surface of the pool a piece of the sleeve of a blue frock. Thinking it was part of the dress of her little bov, who is between two and three year? old, she went into the house to look for him; but not finding him she ran backh and in an agony of terror stooped to lay hold of the piece of the frock. At that moment person coming up supposed she was falling, caught her dress, and pulling her back with some force, she drew from the cess pool her child, apparently dea<[ A messenger was immediately dispatched to Maid- stone ( a distance of four miles), and a medical gentle- man arrived at Linton with the utmost possible expedition. The afflicted parents had by this time given up their child as lost ; but the medical gentle- man proceeded to take the most active means to revive the latent spark of life. For an hour and forty minutes all his efforts were in vain, and the parents, considering human aid unavailing, repeatedly re- quested him to desist, as they imagined that the decided steps he was obliged to take would Only disfigure the remains of the child without a chance of being serviceable; but at the expiration of the time we have mentioned some slight appearances of r< « turning animation were evinced, and in about for minutes afterwards the family had the heartfelt delight of hearing the child articulate ihe word " father!"— a delight which we have no doubt was almost in an cqoal deyree experienced bv Jhe medical g ml nian, wiiose skill and perseverance had lh « under I lie bhssiog of Providence, bYe: » the means restoring lo his parents the beloved child whose eyes they had felt assured were closed on them for ever. Maidstone Gazette- The Bishop of Winchester arrived in flifs citv on Wednesday evening, and proceeded to the Episcopal Pal iiee of WOIV^ RPV, » t prevent occupied by Gorges Lowther, Esq. On the following Hav his" I. ordsliip attended Divine Service nl Ihe Cathedral, where a sermon was preached hv the Very Rev. the Demi, and a collection made to assist the fuuds of the Winchester and Southampton United District Committees of the Societies for Promoting Cln istian Knowledge, and for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. A General Meeting was afterwards held at St . John's House, w hich was most respectably attended, nil hough not very numerously, on account of the extremely unpropitiolis state of tile weather. On the molion of Ihe Hon. and Rev. Chancellor Legge, the Bishop of Winchester was unanimously called to the chair. His Lordship then addressed the meeting to the following eft'eel :— It is not without a feeling of considerable satisfaction thai I obey the call made upon me In take the chair on Ihe present occa- sion, because the object for which we are assembled this day is lo do our utmost to promote a knowledge of the Ifulb, and to extend the blessings of Ihe Gospel. 1 likewise feel much gratified in obeying the call, because I see before uie many to whom lhis important object is" most ti'ear and dear. We may consider Ihe claims of the two socieiies— that for ihe Promotion of Christianity, and the other for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Paris, not as altogether distinct; for though their functions are severed, they are both united on this one point — thev cling to the same end- promoting the glory of God and the salvation uf the soul— "... — Facies non omnibus una, " Nec diversa tameu."- - The objects of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge arc so well known to eiery one who hears me that it will be needless to recapitulate tliein ; hut of Ihe Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts it may lie necessary for me to say a f<* W words. Though il is certainly far less known tlian its prede- cessor, having exisied for more than a century and a quarter, has it been sleeping, I would ask, during that long period? I answer no, Gentlemen; I can appeal 10 the records of that society, and shew how much has been done, considering its paucity of means, w hich are next to nothing, when we reflect on what the ponula- lion of the colonies requires at our hands. In further- ance of its object it may tie necessary to inquire what 11 has done. From lime lo lime il has sent out a class of individuals called ( perhaps as regards this society somewhat improperly) Missionaries. In the niluai acceptation of the term, these persons ( strictly speak- ing) are not Missionaries. The intention of the society in sending them forth was to supply with religious instruction the great body of our unenlightened feTlow- crealures, who are separated from this highly- favoured nation,— lo give them some of Ihe means of grace which we have the privilege of enjoying. I wonld guage ihe measure of our own means of grace by the anxiety and zeal which we manifest lo impart it lo others.— The persons of the description lo which 1 have alluded as employed by the society amount lo 104, according lo the last report, a number not incon- siderable. in itself; but there are 1001) oilier indi. vit| uals scattered in our various colonial possessions en « tagelt : in Ihe same occupation, whose personal e^ ifrlions are. laborious in the" extreme. In the exe- cution of iheir important duties, their path lies through the glofomy forest, over rivers and dreary deserts j siMfteliuiesjon the Sabbath Day, walking from 14 Io20 uilTfs, from parish to parish, lo administer religious ustruction and comfort. These men, separated from their country, severed from their friends and connec- tions, accoflHling Ihe sacrifice of health and life as nothing, when propagating the truth of the Gospel— ihese, I say, we are called upon to love, to honour, and regard.— The object of this society has been lo place schoolmasters in different situations, who are zealous and active men, of no incoiysiderable - impomnco any where; hot of primary importance ill all places where the means of instruction are so scarce, and the Instruct- ors so few. These schoolmasters, who are rather more in. . number than Ihe missionaries, receive from the society salaries of from £ 15 to ±' 2( 1. ayear, for which each imparls the rudiments of a Christian education to about 40 or 50 scholars. This society, so far as its limited means will allow, has also distributed ISihles and Prayer Books, and thereby disseminated the tford of truth. His Lordship then proceeded to notice Ihe foundation of a College at Windsor, in Nova Seolia, ere in the native youth are admitted sis Students, and qualified to imparl religious instruction, which he characterised as a most judicious application of a pnr- if the society's funds. His Lordship next ad- tion verted lo the state of religion in our Eastern posses- ions, alluding lo ihe establishment of a College nt Calcutta, nud paying an nficcting tribute lo the memory of the learned and pious Bishop Heh'er, whose success- ful exertions in Ihe cause of religion were pre eniineut'v nspicuous. in that college ( his Lordship in continiu aiion observed) there areprofessors and students, w hose ole object is lo promote the interests of the Christian eligion, and lo teach the way tiesl calculated lo win tools lo Christ. Can'there be any thing ifi'orfc praise- worthy, more desirable? Can there be any thing which calls upon us more strongly to reinforce and multiply the means of a society like this? Before I sit down there is one circumstance connected with this subject to which ( think it necessary lo allude. Within the last fouf br'five days, a paper, of coosidera- ' hle circulation, was placed in my hands, containing charges against this society destitute of the slightest degree of truth. Tlie first of them states that Bishop loglis, of Nova Scotia, is in the receipt of £ 2400 a- ycar from the society. Now this pious Divine, w ho has to travel a dfstrict of 5,000 miles in extent, not with the luxury of a carriage cushions, or other conveniences, but who journies through deserts and forests in ahy way thiit he may shew comfort to his people, by bringing tllem up io the fear of the Lord this individual, 1 pledge myself, receives no more lliftn £ 400 a year from the society. The next cliargc in Ihi* paper is respecting the. absent Bishop of Nova Seotia ( Spencer), which I lake litis opportunity of noticing. For upwards of3ff years, Mr. Spencer was a missionary at Halifax, and had no friends iu this country lo recommend his advancement. When, how- ever, ii was determined by the British Government to erect Nova Scotia into a See, a recommendation was sent to the Colonial Secretary of Slate in England from every quarter of the province, and his Majesty was pleased lo appoint Mr. Spencer in the Bishopric. afier this, a tire of great exlent having occurred ( I believe al Miramichi), Bishop Spencer left bis house to render assistance, and by his active exertions in directing the people, the fire was extinguished; hut. in consequence uf his great exertions, and being sudl denly called from bis bed, lie was seized with a para lytic affection, Mild afler some lime, with difficultv removed to this country. About six months after hi' arrival here, he was scut for by the Colonial Secretary of Stale, who enquired when he intended returning to his diocese? The reply was, llilit he was rendv to return immediately; but the Secretary of Siale ob. serving his debilitated state, sent for a phvsician.' who reported that a return lo Nova Scotia would cause his death. This was communicated to Bishop Spencer, who thus had no alternative tint to return to his diocese nod die, or remain in England and starve. Al Ihe instance of Lord Batiters! £ 200 was granted by Go- vernment ; a subscription of £ 200 was raised ai N Brunswick, and a like sum in another province; lo this was added from the society £ 200 iking a pen sion of £ 800, on which the invalid is lingering at Iiath. I would therefore ask any one present, is there any thing in this statement on which lo found a charge of extravagance ? — His Lordship then animadverted auo'her charge contained iu the same paper, reportinr that the Beclors al Frederictou received einulunieiits on account of other ecclesiastical offices held by them, which he shewed to he totally incorrect) and stated that he should not waste Ihe ' time of the merlin" exposing the fallacies of others made thrnugh'the same channel, believing Ihein to be as utterly without foundation as thuse which he had just exposed In order to shew Ihe wants of this society ( continued his Lordship), whose object is the instruction of all our Colonial selllemen's, I understand that the funds at its disposal very little exceed £ 6,01) 0 a- vear ; and when I stale thai ihe portion of this sum contributed hv the two large counties which compose this diocese, amounts lo no more than £ 70, I trust I shall have said puouo- h lo stir up iu you a desire to pour: into ibis society liberally from the abundance which God, in his af- utiglity providence, has granted unto vou, 1 am happy to notice that a District Committee bns been established nt Droxford, embracing Ihe towns of Ports month', Portsutl, and other jfo'pnlotH places. Another District Colninitlee has been established at Farnham under my own immediate eye ; and at its first meeliu" a larger sum was coll- clrd and transmitted to ihe Treasurer than has been raised throughout the dijeese at one Hireling, His Lordship concluded by requesting the Rev. Mr Hodges, one of Ihe Secretaries, to read Ihe Report of the Slate of the Society, which would best explain rs objects and necessities. The Rev. J. Hodges then rend the Report, from which it appeared that the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge nt Home Itns increased in num- bers, and influence, and that Ihe funds of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts aie inade- quate lo carry into effect the important objects for which it was originally founded. Large fields for exertion are opened, and more urgent calls are made for assistance, while Ihe means of answering them arc greatly diminished. The Report concludes with an earnest appeal lo Ihe benevolent, entreating Iheir pecuniary aid and influence, in promoting the views of an Ins ilutioii possessing sueli powerful claims to public support. Sir George Rose expressed extreme regret at being obliged to stand forwurcl as the Representative, in some measure, of the lailv, on the present occasion, in consequence of the absence of others whose talents ami influence were more likely lo promote the success of these valuable institutions. Having long hnd a regard to Iheir interests, he corfc. eived that a great public eflorl should he iniule to bring ihe exVrliofis of ific laitv into active co- operation with the clergy. He had lung fell earnestly on the subject, and trusted shortly lo see his wish accomplished. It was natural that one who had worn the gown of William of Wykcham should lie desirous for llie eslablishm'enl t. id prosperity of institutions similar to those of antiquity, founded by his kindness and ben.- gcence. Having noticed the union of sentiment between himself and Ihe Right Reverend President, nl a meeting for a similar object, and paid a tribute of approbation lo the Very liev. the Denn, for the able manner in which lie had that morn- nig advocated the claims of ihe societies lo public support, Ihe Hon. Bart, remarked that the subject was now fairly before ( lie . meeting, and fhe question for decision was, would they, or would ihev not, come f( irwar( f in support of a society, whose object was to extend a know ledge of Ihe Gospel lo ihe dominions of the heathen. Having passed a great portion of bis life in other countries, and taken a part in their religions societies, he had observed Ihe great public benefits resulting from tfirln. Every notion had its period of celebrity— al one lime renowned for military glory, at another distinguished b v her career in arts " and litera- ture, and also for religion. Considering, however, that he was in Ihe presence of so many of Ihe clergy, who were more competent to speak on it, he should abstain' from touching upon Ihe spiritual part of the subject; lint thus much he wonldsa'v, Hint if Ihe laity abandoned the clergy in Ibis effort to'supporl an institution which for 125 years hnd been struggling painfully and laboriously,' if vrfonld redound to their shame, espe ctallv when it was known that the body denominated Wesley nils bad contributed from £ 20.000 to £ 25,000 in aid of these inslilntions, and number class of Dissenters £ 40,000. From his knowledge of ihe German slates, the Hon. Baronet observed, that 30 or 40 years ago missionaries existed lliere, and were supported; and ihe more they hnd increased, the more infinitely vivid and pure was the state of religion throughout that country. From Berlin and Basle missionaries yvere sell! to Caltnuc Tartary, even to the very confines of China. O n ihe other side of the Atlantic some lyventy years ago, with the exception of New England, religion rested on such a low and inefficient foundation, that it was matter of surprise that since Hint lime the increase of missionary establishment, there should have been so great. From the United Stales missionaries were now sent to Ihe kingdom of Ava, lo Palestine, and other distant parts. Willi the knowledge of this, surely we ought notlo he left behind in such a career of Chrisliati benevolence. The State had not till lately fulfilled its duly by providing religious instruction for our colo- nies, in which there were at least 600,000 slaves; and in India, where there was n population of 80,000 British subjects, nothing could have been more de- plorable than their condition, in a religious point of vieyv. Thi. l.- ioieotuMe defect had recently been re- moved; the light of dufy bad shooe upon those in authority, who had instituted Bishopticks iu our Norili American colonies, and in the East and West Indies, which had produced the most beneficial effects. The Hon. Baronet concluded bv moving ihe firsl resolution, which, with the Others subsequenrly brought forward) were Carried unanimously. The Key. Dr. Williams ( Head . Master of Winchester College) dwell on Ihe claims ythich Ihe society had to the support of every true Christian, particularly of every member of ihe Church of England. After what had been so ably urged in their helm If, it would be quite unnecessary for him lo endeavour In prove a fact so obviously indisputable. The inference to be drawn, therefore, yvas incontrovertible — every true Christian was called upon lo give his support, and no imin pro- fessing himself a Christian could hesitate to assist societies engaged in such admirable objects — The Re- Gent, then intimated that he was commissioned Ihe Bishop of Hereford to contribute £ 10. Several other gentlemen addressed the meetin « . and eloquently urged the claims of the society to public support. We regret thai our circumscribed space wili not admit of a more detailed account of their arguments in favour of a ennse so important to Ihe interests of religion and morality. by The business of the day having been disposed of the motion of the Rev. W. Harrison, seconded by'l Very " nn . Itey. the Dean, thank, were volrd lo ihe liio- ly, Kev.

I can assure vou I feel particularly anxious lo measure the support yon will give to the societies, not nicely by the magnitude of the subscriptions, but by the number of suliscribers — to see among them, not guineas and pounds, but ten shillings, crowns, half- crowns, nay even a mite. [ wish to see those classes fmiu the'shop and counter come forward with their contributions, and trust I shall not he disappointed in this respect. His Lordship having quilled ihe chair, hooks yvere opened for Ihe entry of donations and subscriptions. The sum cnltrcled al the. Cathedral after the sermon amounted to £ 53. lis.; and the total collection, iu. eluding donations and subscriptions from 1 lie Win- chester and Southampton Deaneries, was £ 191.19s. 3: 1, The following description of the manner in which the produce of the rich Olive ' Free is gatherpd by Ihe Portuguese peasantry, is taken from " AH Historical Vieyy of the Revolutions of Portugal, by an Eye- Witness:"—• " Towards the month of November, the oliyes arrive at that degree of ripeness which renders them fit for the annual operations. Like our wal- nuts, they are beaten front fhe boughs by means of long rods, while large cloths, spread around the trunk, receive as many as fall within the space they occupy. The rest are gathered from the ground bv women and children ; and so great is the produce that the entire population of an olive district find ample employment, in this yvork alone, for several weeks, although assisted by large groupes who flock from a distance, somQtimes of nearly two hundred miles, to share the labour, and return with a little store of money thus earned, for their winter subsistence. Nothing can exceed the sprighfliiiess of these olive gleaning parties ; from sun- rise to the hour of vespers no sound is heard than that of singing, and merry converse, yvhile every counte- nance reflects the gladness of tile season, and the general happiness of the simple- hearted peasantry. When the mills are set iu motion, the farmer can securely reckon on a supply of ready money where- with to cultivate hist lands; the pork- feeder anil poult erer find the brnised kernel of the olive u plentiful and nutritious article for fattening their numerous pigs and turkeys; while the poor la- bourer, in addition to his present wages, anticipates an ample supply of oil for his family at a price he can afford to pay, and stores of preserved olives which, with a little bread, will lon< v furnish the daily ineal for himself and his household, almost free of cost.— An imperfect idea may bt f) rmed even from this slight sketch, of the cheering pif% ct produced when the national tree yields its accus- tomed tribute to the children of the soil, and imagination will not fail to picture, in a like degree the deep gioom, despondency, and disappointment that pervade all these classes when that supply is withheld, whether by the immediate visitation of Providence, in smiting the earth with a blight, or the remorseleyscruelty of mail, iu waitonly atflictiu"' his fellows/* SALOPIAN JOUMNA1L, AM © COUEIEK OF WALES, HOUSE OF LORDS- THURSDAY. Several Peiilions on the subject of the Test on" t » rjxMHtioi » Acts having- been rend, and ordered to ie on. the table, the debate on the Hepeat Bill was proceeded with.— Lord ELDON expressed liis deter- mination to offer every opposition to the success of the lull, v> Inch he contended could not pass, without pro- ducing important effect on the Catholic Question. Mis f. ordship moved two clauses— the first declaring thai the Protestant Religion, as professed in England, was established permanently and inviolably; the second, that all persons becoming Members of Cor- porations should declare themselves Protestants ; tor he pledged himself asJ a lawyer, that if the Bill passed in its present strite, there was no law to prevent Roman Catholics from becoming Members of Corpo- rations, unless the charters of those Corporations expressly provided against it. — A lengthened discus. Sfion arose, in which the Duke of WELLINGTON stated tl> at his opinion upon the subject of the Catholic Claims had undergone no change, but was precisely the same it Imd ever been. He disclaimed all inten- tion of favouring the Catholics by admitting them into Corporations Under the bill, and he thought their Lordships were bound not to suffer the bill to pass w thout at least requiring an assertion, that the Members of Corporations were . Protestants. A divi- sion took place, when the numbers appeared, for the laiier amendment 3' 2; against it 71.— The Duke of WELLINGTON afterwards moved the postponement of t'ne clause till to- morrow, which was carried by 49 to 24. H OUSE OF CO M M ONS- TH URS DA Y. Sir. iVl. A. TAYLOR rose, pursuant to notice, to make his motion respecting the proceedings of the Court of Chancery; and, after pointing out many reforms Which he considered necessary, more particularly the separation of Bankruptcy causes from the business of the Court, eonclud? d by Moving, 14 That it appears to this Honw^ Troth from the paper laid upon the table, as well' as from the evidence given before the Com- missioner)* appointed mirier the authority of His Majesty, that notwithstanding the establishment of the office of Vice- Chancellor in the year 1813, some further steps are still necessary to advance the in- terests of suitors in equity, by affording a more prompt decision an their claims, and to enalYle tne Court effectually to discharge the otlver duties connected with its jurisdiction." The motion having been se- conded, Mr. Secretary PFEL observed that inquiry bad taken place,- and the Commissioners had made their Kepoit. In consrcpience of the recommendations it contained, the Lord Chancellor had made eighty , three orders. ' She Government had done all they could ft* promote the object in vie ? • * ot when the House considered what had been the situation of Government during the last six months, they must admit that it was almost impossible the executive eould have made any bene- ficial changes in the Court of Chancery. There was undoubtedly in the Court of Chancery and in the Court of King's Bench a great linear of business. These Courts were overwhelmed with causes,, and three persons- had certainly been considered insuffi- cient to discharge the duties. With respect to the intended changes,, it was in contemplation to make the Court of Exchequer assist the Chancery in the disposal of Equity proceedings. In the Exchequer the business was confined to a fev? attorneys or clerks of the court. It was in contemplation to admit the attorneys of all the courts to practise in the Exchequer upon equity proceedings. If, by the addition of another Jude- e in the Court of Exchequer for Equity business only, the Court of Chancery could be as- sisted, and the arrear of causes wiped off, the change might be desirable, and the project would at least receive due consideration. The Right, lion. Gentle- man declared, in conclusion, that he was not unwilling to attend to a judicious reform, but he would not be governed by abstract propositions. He should meet the proposal of his Hon. Friend with a direct nega- tive, and move the previous question. Mr. TATT. OR replied, and said, until some practi- cally beneficial measures were adopted, he would unhesitatingly persevere in his humble efforts at improvement, lie lmd no personal object to answer— the public voice strenuously supported him-, and until the end he was determined to persevere. A division then took place, when there appeared — for the previ- ous question, JTJ— for the motion, 42 — majority,. 49. HOUSE OV LORDS- FRIDAY. The debute on the Corporation and Test Acts was resumed. The Earl of FI. DON persisted in his oppo- sition to the measure ; and an amendment proposed by his Lordshipy calling upon persons on admission to corporate bodies lo declare themselves 44 Protestants," was rejected by a division- of 117 to 55. The LORD CHANCELLOR, « rnd the Bishops of CHESTER, ST. DA- VID'S, and OSSORY opposed themselves to the addition f « s altogether unnecessary. The Bishop of BRISTOL, the Earls of GOII. DFORD and RODEN, Lord REDES- DALP, and the Duke of NEWCASTLE spoke in its favour. A second division took place on an amend- ment proposed by the Earl of WII^ CHELSEA, declara- tory of 44 belief in the doctrines of the Old and New Testament, as set forth by authority of the realm." This clause was also resisted as unnecessary by the Bishops of CHESTER, LLANDAFF, and- BATH & t WELLS. and ultimately negatived by 70 to ' 22.

In the Committee on the Corn Laws, Mr. BRNETT ( of Wiltshire) proposed a series of resolutions, which differ considerably from the present proposed mea- sure of Ministers, and from that recommended last year. The Hon.

After a discussion of some length, Mr. Ben en's proposition was rejected by a division of' 230 to 32.— Mr. PORTWAN afterwards pro- posed an amendment, nearly assimilating the scale to that proposed last year, which was also rejected by 140 lo 50.

Several other amendments proposed were also negatived. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in the course of the discussion, said— 14 There is no person in this House whose opinions are more formed and decided after long reflection upon the subject of the Catholic Claims than my own— there is no man more determined than I am, until I see a great change indeed in respect to that question, to oppose them." The Duke of CUMBERLAND rose, and spoke to the following effect :— On my return to this country, after a considerable absence from it, I deem it my duty to declare my conscientious opinion upon the measure before your Lordships, which is in opposition to it. It gives me great corn- em, that the first vote which I give on my return lo England should be opposed to a measure approved of by my Noble Friend at the head of the Government. No person can feel a more sin- cere regard or a higher esteem for my Noble Friend than I do ; but having pursued one course of conduct, on this measure, for 31 years, I cannot now consent to follow a different one. As this is the first, so I hope it may he the only occasion, on which I shall feel it my duty to be opposed to my Noble Friend. I have only to add that J shall vote in opposition to the pre- sent measure. Lord RKDESDALB and the F! arl of MOUNT CASHEL also protested against the passing of the Bill.

Protest against the Repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, Dissentient,— Because \ vc think this bill proceeds upon the alleged expediency of repealing the Sacra- mental Test, for the purpose of substituting as a security for the support of the Established Church, which is an essential part of the constitution of the state, nothing but a declaration as to corporate offices, which may be made by persons not Protest- ants, and not even Christians; and because, also, it does not render necessary even such a declaration to be made by any persons accepting offices and places of trust, but leaves it wholly in the power of the Crown to require, or tiot to require, it to be made by any such persons.

The Lord Chancellor, who W.

A handsome sub- scription having been raised among the numerous tenantry in Shrewsbury and its immediate vicinity, together with those of Betton, Edgbold, VVelbatch, Whitley, & c. & c. two fine oxen, several sheep, and an abundance of prime ale were purchased. The* oxen, and two of the sheep, decorated with ribbons, aud preceded by two large flags and the band of the Shropshire Militia, were paraded through Shrewsbury on Wednesday morning; after which, one ox and the sheep were cut up and distributed ( by ticket) to poor persons, at the Turf Inn ; the other ox, and the requisite accompaniments, were distributed at Betton, uuder the superintendence of Mr. Heath, where, a large bonfire having been made on an elevated site, the assemblage pledged each other in bumpers of prime native stuff to the health, long life, and prosperity of the Heir of Betton. In the afternoon, a large and most re- spectable party of friends and wellwishers of the family sat down to an excellent dinner at- the Turf Inn, provided and set out in a style that did the greatest credit to Mrs. Simon. Mr. Hughes, of VVelbatch, took the chair, and, the cloth having been drawn, toast and song kept the company together until a late hour.

The fire and intense heat forced a communication with the apartments of the dwelling house, and from the smoke issuing in volumes through the room windows and other apertures, much danger was apprehended: but, from the prompt assistance afforded by the neighbours ami other inhabitants, with tile timely arrival Of an engine from the Salop Fire Office, the' fire was happily got under with little damage.— See A dvert i semen t.

A. LLOYD, Esquire, was- nominated Chairman. A Statement of the Receipt and Expenditure having been produced and read, it appeared that the Sum of about £ 1,260Jiad been received from Subscriptions made for the Purpose of raising a Fund to pay the Expense of Building a Kennel and Stables, and that the Sum of about £ 1,860 had been expended in the Erection of such Kennel and Stables, under the Direction of a Committee appointed by the Subr scriberi, which latter Sum exceeded the former by about £ 600. It also appeared that, to make up the above De- ficiency, about £ 550 has been advanced by Messrs. Iiocjte, Evfoif, and Co. Bankers, and that about £ 50 more, making together £ 600, will be required for the same Purpose, and that the Gentlemen hereinafter uameci as Trustees have paid, for the last two Years, £ 5 each to provide for the Interest of the above Sums.

To the Honourable the Commons in Parliament assembled. The Humble Petition of the Members of THE TRADESMAN'S FRIENDLY SOCIETY of Whitchurch, in the County of Salop, HUMBLY SHEVVRTH, Fl^ HAT your Petitioners view with great JL Jealousy and Alarm any Attempt whutever to alter in any Respect the Laws relating to Friendly Societies. That TUB TRADESMAN'S FRIENDLY SOCIBTY was established in the Year 1788, aud has from a smull Beginning: steadily increased its Funds, which at this Time amount to upwards of £ 4000, which Fund is now rapidly increasing-, aud is certain under their own Management to become still more Prosperous. That, after baring raised a Fund so respectable, they consider themselves much more competent Judges ns to its Application than Persons who never were Members of a Friendly Society, and that any Interference what- ever ( otherwise than the Allowance of their Articles at Quarter Sessions) will have a most baneful Effect. That the Funds so raised by them they consider ns their own Property, equally as the Private Property of • it Individual, and that any Attempt or Legislative In- terference to alter their PRESENT or FUTURE Right to appropriate their own Funds would, instead of en- couraging Friendly Societies, paralyze those talready formed mid prevent the Formation of others. That the Funds of this Society are wholly vested in real Securities, and are strictly applied to the Relief of Sick and Infirm Members, and that the Payments of this Society, notwithstanding its progressively increasing Fund, amount to upwards of. £ 500 per Annum. That the Friendly Societies in this Town, containing a Population of about 5000 Inhabitants, actually pay about £ 1000 per Annum, and that such n Sum, com- pared with the. Population, must evidently be a great Relief to the Poor's Rates-.— and that your Petitioners have great Cause to fenr that any Legislative Inter- ference will dissolve the Societies altogether, or break up that Confidence which they enjoyed under their own Management. Confidently relying on the Wisdom of your Hon- ourable House, your Petitioners will ever pray. INVESTMENT. For Positive Sale— No Reserved Bidding. BY MR.

NIGHT POACHING.— A new hill has been brought into Parliament. intitled " An Act for the more effectual Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Poaching which makes the third offence trans- portation— Owners or occupiers of laud, lords of manors, or their servants, may apprehend offenders. BANK. ROBBERS— It is understood that the robbers of Banks and Bank parcels, form a gang unconnected with any other set of thieves, aud the receivers of the plunder are distinct from the other receivers of stolen property, This systematised confederacy has agents in various parts of the country, which accouuts for the correctness of their intelligence. An Evening Paper states, that the privilege of franking, exercised by Members of Parliament of the House of Commons alone, lessens the revenue to the amount of £' 549,139. On Thursday, Mr George Robins sold the whole parish of Pill, & c. in the county of Somerset, at the Auction Mart, London, for 64,000 guineas. James Adam Gordon, Esq. was the purchaser. It appears that the taxation on malt, beer, and hops, produced last year about eight millions sterling:— viz. the tax on malt was nearly four millions; on beer, ale, and porter, three millions and a half; and on hops, £ 500,000. MURDER IN SUFFOLK.— William Corder has been fully committed to the gaol of Bury St. Edmunds for trial at the next Assizes, charged on the verdict of the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful murder of Maria Marten ( see 4th page).— A charge of having defrauded the Ipswich Bank of Messrs. Alexander and Co. of £ 93, by means of a forged cheque, has also been preferred against him. It has not been mentioned in any of the Irish Papers that Lady Castlecoote— relict of the late Lord of that name-~ atid who has been lately mdh- ied to Lord Miltown, has renounced the errors of Popery^ and conformed to the Established Church. This event took place on Easter Sunday last, at Lyons, the residence of Lord Cloncurry Lord \ iiltovvn, the Husband of the lady, is, it should; be remarked, a son of Lady Cloncurry's by her first husband, the . Ear! of Miltown. During the life time of Lord Castlecoote, it was generally appre- hended iu Dublin that his ladv Would succeed in inducing him to embrace Popery ; yet now, strange reverse!— in but one little ye^ r after her ! ord* s death, Lady Castlecoote, who was esteemed the most rigid of Catholics, enters the pale of Protestantism. Wonders, however, will uever cease. —* phynx. There is a vehement outcry raised throughout the country, at present, by the surgical and medical professions, against those prejudices, as they call them, which cause the feelings of men to revolt at the violation of the decencies of sepulture, and the disturbance of the sanctuary of the tomb. Those prejudices, however, are so rooted in our nature, and so universally operative, that they seem to affect the whole body of physicians and surgeons as strongly as they do other people; inasmuch as no ambition to show themselves superior to popular error— no philosophical intrepidity to enforce an " enlightened theory1' by practice— no regard for the " interests of science," can induce those gentlemen to dedicate their own remains, and those of their relatives, to the purposes of the anatomist. They can all deprecate the laws which have been made, in conformity wilh the instincts of mankind, to protect the grave from indecent violation; but none of them venture to come forward and set the example, which alone can prove the sincerity of their doctrine— namely, the practical sacrifice of their " prejudices" on the altar of Science, by bequeathing their bodies, not to the hands of executors, in trust, to be deposited in the quiet keeping of some law- protected churchyard, but to their surgical brethren, for the benefit of the. experimental labours of the dissecting- room. There is not one of them who does not seem to prefer the prospect of the shelter of a peaceful vault, or well- polished tomb stone, to the unceremonious curiosity of a lecture- room or the ostentation of a glass case. But, until this sort of enforcement of what may be called u posthumous reform" begins among the members of the medical profession, we fear that mankind will not give them credit for having got rid f those " prejudices" of which they are so soli- citous to divest others.— Morning Herald. At amiuol meeting- of the Bristol Ship- Owners Society, on the 14th inst. at the Commercial Rooms, a very interesting Report was read; and it was resolved, " that the Reciprocity Treaties with the Northern States of Europe are highly detrimental to the British Shipping Interest, and have most materially augmented its distress." The import trade from the Northern States of Europe employed 600,000 tons of shipping annu- ally ; 300,000 of which were foreign, and it was not disputed that they could be sailed on much lower terms than British. Such a proportion being foreign, it was perfectly clear and palpable, that the effect must be to lower the freight far below the level of remuneration to the British ship- owner.

THE DEAD ALrvF..— Our readers may reineitiber that; about two mouths ago, we gave an account of the apprehension of a man and his wife, who had imposed upon the Liverpool Friendly Contribution Society, by the fettiaie pretending that her husband was dead, and claiming from the club money to defray his funeral expenses. After the money had been paid to the woman, it was discovered that the man was alive and in good health, and he as well as his wife were taken into custody aud committed to prison for this singular fraud. On Saturday last the prisoners, whose names are liobert and Susannah Ulacdonald, were tried at the Liverpool Sessions, found guilty, and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment each iti the House of Correction. VVe call the attention of Sir Henry Parnell, Mr. Gladstone, and all the free- trade gentlemen, to the following extract which we take from a respectable Morning Paper" Our attention has been called to the immense sums of mone'l which are weekly sent from this country to France, in payment for manufactured silk floods. Out of about a hundred thousand pounds' worth of bills drawn in France upon England, and which pass through the bands of a celebrated capitalist weekly, from sixty to seventy thousand pounds are for silk goods imported into this country, and principally sold by the shop- keepers of London. The late rise iu the exchange* is not attrib utable to a preponderance of export* over imports, for the balance of trade, as regards the Continent, is against ns ; but to the great sale* of foreign securities which have taken place in this country during the last mouth or two."— What do these " immense sums" of money do ? Do not they displace a proportionable quantity of labour in this country, or rather do they not give employment to the French manufacturer at the expense of the English one ? COUNTRY BANK NOTES.— It is impossible to compute with any accuracy the amount of Notes in circulation in England since 1825, because the stamps for the one- pounds have been withheld. It is generally believed, however, aud on pretty good data too, that the circulation iu country bjnk paper hasdecliued from upwards of £ 12,000,000 to lessthan £ 4,000,000. It is also a remarkable fact, but quite easily accounted for, considering the conduct of the Government, that scarcely a single stamp for any bank note above £ 5 has been asked for since 1825 ! This speaks thunderbolts.— In Scotland, however, the returns are more minute, because the paralyzing influence of the PEF. I. bill has not so extensively been felt in that country, in 1826, there were stamped of one pounds £ 133,6H2 ; of five pound* £ 245,000; of ten pounds £ 24,000 ; of twenty pounds £ 226,001). In 1826, there were stamped of one pounds £ 128,513 ; of five pounds £ 10,000; but not one ten or twenty pound stamp! In 1827, there were stamped of one pounds £ 201,377, but not one fire, ten, or twenty pouud stamp! These details, taken from the parliamentary papers, require no comment. BENEFIT SOCIETIES. Mr. Courifnay's Bill, professing- to consolidate and amend the laws affecting Friendly Societies, seems to have excited very general dissatisfaction and alarm amoti£ tire members of these provident and truly useful ' nstitutions. Meetings have been held iu different parts of the country, for the purpose of passing- esolutions condemnatory of Mr. Courlenay^ s bill, aud founding: upon them petitions to the legislature ayainst it.— One of these, from a valuable institution founded at Whitchurch, in this county, in the year 1788, will be found in another column. The general character of Mr. Cmirtenay's bill seems to he considered as highly injurious lo the prosperity of friendly societies, and subversive of their rights and " ndependenee Mr. Courtenay proposes to transfer the right of making alterations or improvements in the regulations subject to the approval of a Justice of the Peace, from the members themselves to trustees. This must be considered as a gross infringement on the hts of individuals, and highly injurious to their interests. The appointment of ihese trustees forms the most objectionable clause of the new biil ; the manage, ment is to be taken out of the hands of the members or their deputies, and vested in those of persons appointed by Government, or some other external power 5 and this the members very justly consider as depriving them of a privilege in the exercise of which they have long flourished,— that of managing their own private affairs. The new bill, iu its very preamble, repeals all the acts previously passed for the protection and encouragement of friendly societies, hut secures all the objectionable ones, with the addition of others of a similar character. The repeal of the right of friendly societies toappoint their own o. Ticers, and take security for the due performance of their duties, must teud to create doubt and distrust. The effect of the present bill will be to deprive societies of the right of settling their disputes by arbitration. In order to obviate all cavil about the decision of society disputes, Mr. Courtenay proposes to erect a court for thai special purpose. This seems to be a most expensive and needless process, as arbitration, fairly conducted, answers every purpose that can be desired. It would be just as reasonable for every individual society to be required to build a sessions house, with every accom- modation for judges, barristers, See. as to require the whole body to submit to, and pay for, a supreme court of their own, which could he advantageous to none but the holders of office aud patronage. By the new arrangement, the disposal of the funds is placed in the hands of the trustees, who can have little com- tnuniiy of interest or feeling with the applicants for relief; these trustees are, in short, to be vested with unlimited power, as far as the absence of any coutroul upon their proceedings, on the part of the members, can render it so. This regulation must tend to destroy those feelings of charity, mutual assistance and in- dependence, for which these societies have been justly celebrated. The vesting of all authority in the hands of persons irresponsible to, and not elected bv the members, is highly impolitic, and must prove ruinous to the best interests of friendly societies. That such will be the result of Mr. Courtenay's biil , seems to be the general opinion : it will tend to destroy all harmony and confidence, and breed much mischief aud ill will. In conclusion we must observe, that these institu- tions, when properly managed, are calculated to be of very great benefit to the country in general, by dis- seminating a spirit of friendship and good will, and inculcating a laudable dislike to receiving parochial relief; and, were the relief extended by them to the sick and the unemployed removed, the pressure of the poor- rates would be enormously increased. The mem- bers must certainly be the best qualified to judge of what is likely to affect them injuriously or otherwise ; and we sincerely hope, for the sake of all parties, that legislature will pause before it gives iti sanction to MR. SLANEY'S Proposed Alteration of the Poor Laics. [ FROM TUB WEEKLY DISPATCH.] The attention of our readers is earnestly invited t « that, part of the proceedings which took place in the House of Commons on Thursday ' evening, when Mr. Sla uey obtained leave to bring iu a Bill for effecting a most important, ami, in our opinion, cruel and unjust alteration of the Poor Laws. During the last Sessiou, the above Honourable Member announced his inten » tion of proposing such n Bill as that which he is now about to introduce. We then forcibly remoiutrated against it, and pointed out the injustice of its enact- ments. As developed by Mr. Slaney, iu his speech ou Thursday, those enactments will go the full length of deny ing parochial relief entirely to ihe able- bodied labourer, who is destitute and cannot procure employ- ment, provided he is a single man. Those labourers, who shall marry after the passing of this Bill, are also to be refused relief, except in the way of having employment procured for them. There is, indeed, one very sagacious proviso attached to the proposed Hill ; and that is, that the unmarried labourer, who ba% deponited any money iu a Savings B. ik, may claim from his parish one week's work for every four shillings he may have so deposited ; but how ihe poor husbandmen, who are at the preseut moment toiling for fourteen peiu-. e a day are to effect a saving out of such wages, would, we apprehend, puzzle the saga- cious proposer of this Bill to point out. VVe really have good reason to hope that the mea- ures proposed by M r. Slauey will not be adopted; "•* the decided opposition of the country at large but the a measure which has excited such very general dis. satisfaction. should be given to them. The subject is of far more importance than that of the Test and Corporation Acts, for the repeal of which both Houses of Parlia- ment have been almost deluged with Petitions. The measures proposed by Mr. Slaney are so revolting to humanity, that the consideration of the bare possibi- lity of their being adopted is enough to make one shudder. What! shall the poor Englishman, who has toiled for years to raise the essential necessaries of life, more, alas! for others than himself, he left to perish, when ( for a period only, perhaps,) a surplus ol labour renders his services unnecessary. Those who contribute to the poor rates, cannot be ignorant that they owe the means of so doing lo the exertions of the humbler classes, and they cannot reasonably complain, though the burden may be great, of being compelled to preserve the poor labourer and his family from starving. God knows, the relief gene- rally afforded, at the present time, to paupers in the agricultural districts, hardly deserves tlie name — it is barely sufficient, iu most instances, to keep body and soul together; but small though it be, it is better tha' 11 an absolute nothing, and we pity the feelings of the man who can calmly argue the expediency of taking that little away — of denying a mere crust to famishing poverty. Mr. Slaney, it must be mentioned, proposes that a discretionary power should be vested iu the overseers to afford relief under certain circumstances, but that no justices should interfere. What these. certain circumstances1' are, under which the over- seers may give or withhold relief, as they, alone and uncontrouled, mav think proper, Mr. Slaney did not state. But an arbitrary discretion in such matters ought never to be left to the overseers of the poor. Mr. Slaney's object, in one part of his proposed alterations, would appear to be to eheck the " alarm- ino" increase in population, by preventing many poor persons from marrying ; but, setting aside the extreme danger, not to say cruelty, of attempting to oppose one of the most powerful laws of nature, it is evident that the means proposed will not have the desired eifect. In Ireland, where no Poors' rates are levied, the dread of poverty has had so little effect in checking improvident marriages, and their consequences, that that Island is much more over- burthened with aii un- employed population than this is, and one great source of the English labourer's distresses mav be traced to the influx of the Irish poor. Nay, so dreadful have been the effects of a want of Poor Laws in the Sister Kingdom ( where we may, indeed, say the experiin » nt now proposed by Mr Slaney has been tried on a more extensive scale), and so rapid has been the increase of poverty and its consequent attendant, crime, that the introduction of a system of Poor Laws has been pro- posed for that country, though it is very doubtful whether it could now be possibly carried into effect. We apprehend it would be no difficult task to prove, that the denial of parochial relief, to tbe extent attempted by Mr. Slaney, would have the effect of causing such an increase of expenses in the prosecution and punishment of offenders throughout the country, as would mote than counterbalance the saving which his measure might effect in the Poor Laws. The able- bodied labourer, who could not procure employment, would, when denied parochial relief, naturally prefer theft tosfarvatiou. Indeed, he would commit offences for the mere, purpose of being committed to prison, for he must be supplied with board and lodging there; and even bread and water IU a dung- eou are preferable to death by inanition.

Stale of the Country.— Corn Laws. The leading interests of England, as now estab- lished^ must be maintained, for they are essential to its permanent prosperity and greatness 5 and the good sense of the country, though slow to stir, will eventually go with the opinions of practical men, whose experience enables them to decide what is best for it. At this moment, however, the speaking por- tion of tbe public seems to follow the Political Eco noinists, whose delusive theories generally being founded upon abstract truths, carry with them the support of a^ l the brilliant and speculative, who, naturally disliking sober calculation, are easily at- tracted to what is exciting, specious, and new. But their abstract doctrines would lose much of their influence, or he drsregaided, if people would take but the trouble to think, that they apply generally to a rude state of society at its first formation, and not to the state of England, at the present time. This state ii is the fashion of the day to call " unnatural," and to say that it has been produced by " artificial"' means! Be it so; and tbe argument, in consequence, for change, to suit our state to that of other coun- tries, is as valid as would be the reason of a madman, for blowing down the rocks over a M'Adamised road, because, through its " unnatural, artificial" state, the rugged intractable country has been rendered accessible, and thus made to conduce to Hie national wealth ! But without pushing the argument further, let any man of common sense and honesty, who remembers years back the state of France and England— the two nvost> civilized countries of Europe— let him com- pare them with themselves ami with each other at that time and now, and we think that, without en- quiring the cause by which change has been produced, he would at once say that, as indicated by external objects an( l condition of their people, they are far more different now, than they were then, aud thai the superiority is entirely our own. But, if unsatisfied with external trppear. anee, ! » •> dived into particulars, and found that the superiority was not trifling and partial, but general and great— that it pervaded every class of the old society, while a new and powerful one bad also, in the mean lime, arisen— that it prevailed in the arts and sciences, or at least in the practical application of them— in education also— in all the amusements and accom- plishments of life— that with the diffusion of know, l'dge, aud the cultivation of the mind, there bad also been a growth and spread of luxury and of c. mfort, a « vet unknown in all other countries, and unheard of heretofore in this— that the physical powers of Ihe people remained unimpaired, and that in morality even the balance was in favour of England—- he icould then, of necessity, own that no change could be made with the view to assimilate the state of even those two countries, but at the risk, almost, the certainty, of bringing the advanced one downwards. Whatever, then, had been his preconceived opinion, sense and honesty acting fairly would judge by the effects produced, and decide that the system of Eng- land had been, the best!! It consequently follows— certain as tbe relation of cause aud effect— that a measure to alter this system, and bring down incomes and prices towards what they were of old, will be in truth to reduce the country in all its interests to the inferior state which then existed and what that was we need not here describe, for it is remembered by many persons.— Yet, with tbe knowledge of Ibis, and of ihe miseries that must return, a change of Com Laws to keep down prices permanently, is spoken of as a benefit, and as a measure decided upon!— The professed object of change, for which so many are clamorous, is gain to the country; but, strange to 84V, no advocate for it ever attempts to make an estimate of its probable amount. Those persons even already well off, and cautious, who in their own pri- vate transactions will make no change., of system, without computing before band their probable gain, would sacrifice the agriculturists without considera- tion— give up at once the case of tbe nation, and join In the cry with the speculative and needy, re- peating it earnestly till they seem to believe their phantoms to be real. The manufacturing interest, raised rapidly into consequence, and . overrating its importance and weight, because, like the numerous combinations of its machinery, it is moved at once by one and tbe same power, would also, in its ignorance, strike at tbe permanent source of ils prosperity, on purpose to relieve itself of a temporary exhaustion— the invariable consequence of great excitement. It was not, therefore, to be much wondered at that Ministers themselves should be infected also, and that a highly gifted Premier should, towards the close of his career, confound cause and effect, and declare that our manufactures bad risen in spite of restriction and not by means of it— in this belief it became natural he should attempt a change of system, and more freedom was suggested as the best ! The spirit which induced him to relax was Ibe same that originally directed him to restriction ; for, in both cases, his object was to obtain advantages for his country. This was seen at once by all our allies and rivals, and was met accordingly—- they, too, saw what was to be gained, aud readily entered into treaties by which they could lose nothing— thev opened to a limited extent their poor markets, in exchange for the privilege of coming to our rich one, and the consequence has been what might have been expected. It is shewn by the official returns, that ihe mouied value of our exports has since fallen off— not in one year, and with one particular article, but in every year, with every • article of our manufacture, and lo every country with which Treaties have been made; and this must be without fail the ease, whenever a rich and civilized nation, like a, rich individual, attempts to ex- hange commodities on equality with a poor and barbarous one. While the foreign coun- tries!, therefore, must gain by an increased consump. lion of their corn here, England will as certainly lose, let the price at which it is imported be what it may ; und this « fleet will continue, till the relative condition of those countries be changed— by tbe loss of capital on our part, and the gain of it on theirs; and the stale of the people be brought nearer to an equality. This opinion may be disbelieved, but let any man read Jacob's official report of the slate of the corn countries, and then doubt it if he can! The reason- ing in that report may be fallible; but having been brought forward by Government, it is fair to conclude thai Ihe report contains the best information to be bad, and that tbe facts and descriptions in it are strictly true. The people, then, whose corn we are to compete with, are described by Mr. Jacob to live i: i the lowest state of animal existence; they literally belong to the soil w hich they till— some as proprietors, others as slaves— to the extent of their means ; of the produce, they consume what is necessary to feed upon; the surplus rots, or is sold as occasion offeis, and whatever price it fetches is so much gained. — Rents, rates, and wages form no items of expense to the farmer, and taxes may be said to be unknown, In such circumstances, how could Englishmen, in their present state, meet them in our markets? For ? f the Polish corn fetches any price above the mere expense of transport, there is no loss, but, on the contrary, by so much a gain ! It must be evident, also, that such people as the Poles are now, will not use our manufactures—- their condition would at once tell us so, even if experience had not proved it. Under ihe fostering care of Rnss'm the slate of the country is improving; but it is far below* what is required to give profit to our trade— the expenditure of all ranks most be very small, since it i6 but lately that a law has been made to prevent titles being assumed without an income of £ 125 per annum for a Prince, £ 75 per annum for a Count, and £ 25 for a Baron!.!! What have our manufacturers to gain from the consumption of such people? Nothing. But the case again is different with our home grow- ers of corn, who would be seriously injured by com- petition here; and, under all circumstances, we can see no protection for them, without exclusion, till the price reached 65s. per quarter, aud then a variable duty, diminishing till the price got to 80s. HORRID MURDER. [ FROM TUB SUFFOLK HERALD.} A murder, rivalling in cold- blooded atrocity that of Weare, has been brought to light, within a few days, at Polstead, in this county. The circumstances which have reached us are as follow : — Maria Marten, a fine young woman, aged 25, the daughter of a mole- catcher, in the ahove village, formed an imprudent connexion two or three years ago with a young man named William Corder, the son of an opulent farmer in the neighbourhood, by whom she had a child. HE ap- peared much attached to her, ami was a frequent visitor at her father's house. On the 19th May last, she left her father's house, stating, in answer to some queries, that she was going to the Red Barn to meet William • Corder, who was to be waiting there with a chaise to convey her tolpswieh, where they were to be married. In order to deceive observers, ( Corder's relations being hostile to the connexion,) she was to dress in man's aitiie, which she was to exchange at the barn for her bridal garments. She did not return at the lime ex- pected ; but being iu the habit of leaving home for many days together, no great alarm was expressed by the parents. When, however, several weeks had elapsed, " and no intelligence was received of their daughter, although William Corder was still at home, the parents became anxious in their enquires. Corder rained a place at a distance where he said she was,' but that he could not bring her home for fear of displeasing his friends. Her sister, he said, might wear her clothes, as she would not want them. Soon after this Corder's health became impaired, and he, in real or pretended accordance with some advice he had received, resolved on going abroad. According, he left home in Septem- ber last, expressing a great anxiety before he left to hare the burn icell filled. He took witb him about £ 400. Several letters have been received l> y his mother ( a widow) and sister, as well as by the Martens, in which he stated that lie was living with Maria in the Isle of Wight These, however, bear the London post- mark He regularly desired that his letters should be burnt, which request was not complied with.— Strange surmises lately gained circulation throughout th neighbourhood, and one peis< n slated as a singular circumstance, that on the evening when Maria Marten disappeared, he had seen Corder enter the Red Barn with a pickaxe. The parents became more and inot| disturbed and unsatisfied, and their fears were stul more strongly agitated by the mother dreaming on three successive nights last week, that her daughte\ had been murdered and buried in the Red Barn. She insisted that the floor of the barn should be upturned. On Saturday, Marten, the father, with his mole spade, arid a neighbour with a rake, went to examine the barn •, and soon, near the spot where Ihe woman de- scribed her daughter lay buried, aud only about a foot and a half underground, the father turned up a piece of a shawl, which he knew to belong to his daughter, and his assistant, with his rake, pulled out part of a human body. Horror- struck, the unhappy father and his neighbour staggered from the spot. The remains were afterwards disinterred, the body being in a state of decomposition. The pelisse, shawl, Leghorn bonnet, and shoes were however distinctly identified as those once belonging to Maria Marten. The body has been closely inspected, but owing lo its decayed state no marks of violence have, we understand, been dis. covered, except some perforations in the bones of tin face, as if by small shot. There can be little doubt lei but that this unfortunate young woman fell a victim to her unhallowed passion, and was inhumanly butcher.. by the monster, upon whom she relied for future pro. lection as a husband. The barn is well situated foi such a deed of horror, being a full quarter of a mile from any human habitation. An inquest was held before John Wayman, E* q. Coroner for the Liberty, on Sunday last, aud adjourned till Friday, in the hope that some intelligence may be gained of Corder to lead to his apprehension. The murdered remains were buried on Sunday night, at Polstead, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. The mother of William Corder appears to have been singularly tiuforiuuaie, and the reader may more easily imagine, than we can describe, the parental feelings that must agitate a mother, at the thought that her son has been guilty of so heinous a crime ; but she has long been used to grief and misfortune : about three years since she buried her husband, and last Christinas twelve- month one of her sons was drowned ; since that period consumption has carried oft'two other sous. [ FROM A MORNING PAPRR ] O n Monday evening, a constable from Suffolk, of the name of Ayres, made an application at Lambeth- street police office, stating that a strong suspicion was enter- tained that a most diabolical murder had been com- mitted in Suffolk, by a person named William Corder. An inquest had been that day holden on the body of Ihe unhappy victim, which stands adjourned to Friday. In consequence of this communication, James Lee, an officer of this establishment, in company with Ayres, apprehended Corder; and a few minutes before the office closed this evening ( Tuesday), he was brought in custody before Matthew Wyatt, Esq. the sitting Magis- trate. From the statement, on oath, « > f the constable Ayres, it appeared that the murdered woman, whose name was Maria Martin, aged 26, was decoyed, in male attire, on the 18th of last May,. from the house of her parents, at Polstead, in Suffolk, by the prisoner, who desired her to meet him at his Red Barn, when he promised her that they should goto Ipswich, and be married by licence. The unsuspecting girl accordingly attended at the time and place appointed. From that day to this the girl had not been heard of. Since thai time, however, many letters have been received by the parents of the unfortunate girl from the prisoner, in w hich he uniformly stated, that he and • their child were liting most happily together iu the married state; and in the last letter he wrote, he slated that he should soon return and resume the occupation of his farm. He feigned many excuses for the silence of the de- ceased, from time to time. The mother of the girl, however, became alarmed, and Ihe subject preyed so much on her mind, that she dreamed that her daughter was murdered, and her body buried under the floor in the barn of the prisoner, where lie had appointed to meet heron the 18th of May. The corn which was in the barn having been recently threshed, the mother requested that the floor might be taken up, which wa> accoidingly done, when, to her horror, she discovered the remains of a sack, in which was the mangled body of Maria Martin! The body was, of course, iu a state of decomposition, but it was identified by one of the teeth of the jaw being out, which was her case. She was also dressed in the same male attire she wore on the fatal night. The prisoner was apprehended at Ealing, and is reported to he married. At his house were found a passport for Fiance, dated the 17th of December last, and a brace of pistols, which were bought at Ipswich. He said nothing, and was sent in the custody of the constable to Suffolk. Imperial parliament* HOUSE OF LORDS MONDAY. Upon the order of the day being read for the com- mittal of the Test and Corporation Acts Repeal Bill, The Earl of ROSKBKRRY explained that these acts had operated much to the inconvenience of the natives of Scotland. The Earl of ELDON defended the acts complained of as essential securities of the Protestant church and constitution, which they bad preserved inviolate during more than a century and a half. The noble and learned lord was replied to by Lord HOLLAND. Viscount MKLVILLF. explained that the Corporation Ad was but little objectionable to the people of Scot- land. The Earl of FALMOLTII thought the bill before the house utterly inadequate as a security to ihe church ; while he considered the discretionary power proposed to be given to the crown a dangerous invasion of the constitution. The Earl of HARKVVOOD complained of the haste with which the measure had been hurried through the House of Commons; and suggested that time ought to be given to ascertain whether the Christian dissenters might not prefer the existing law lo such a clause as that sent up by the House of Commons. A long aud desultory discussion followed. The Earl of El. DON proposed an oath,, instead of the mere un- sworn declaration proposed by the House of Commons. This and seveial other amendments were proposed aud rejected ; and eventually, upon the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, it was agreed to add to the declaration sent up by the House of Commons, the words of sanc- tion,'" upon the true faith of a Christian." The chief speakers were, beside the Earl of Eldon, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdovvn, the Earls of Winchilsea, Harewood, Harrowby, Falmouth, Carnar- von, Earl Grey, Lords Colchester, Redesdale, Tenter- den, Holland ; the Bishops of Bath and Wells, Chester, Llandaff, Lincoln, & c. HOUSE OF COMMONS MONDAY. BOROUGH OF LUDLOW Sir FRANCIS BURDETT bad A petition to present of considerable importance, and to which he requested the serious attention of the House. It was from certain inhabitants of the Borough of Ludlow, complaining that a burial- ground, which had been left to the town in the sixteenth century, together with a small estate for its maintenance, had been taken away from their use by the Corporation; that tbev bad in vain applied to have it enlarged and repaired by aid of the funds of which the Corporation, as trustees of St. Leonard's Chapel and the estate attached Thereto, had become possessed ; that the general church- yard of the borongh had long been in so crowded a state, that whenever it was neces- sary to infer a corpse, the most frightful and disgusting exhibitions of other bodies in a greater or less slate ol decomposition were afforded, and that the Corporation had let the burial- ground attached to Saint Leonard's for £ l. T2s. per annum to a totally different purpose. The petitioners then entered into a history of various legal proceedings which had been- had on this subject, of a decree of the Master of the Rolls, and a judgment of the Vice- Chaneellor ia their favour, and especially of the strong animadversions of the Vice- Chancellor upon the neglect and mismanagement of tlie Corporation in this respect, whereby they had been guilty of such a breach of trust as was not to he endured in a Christian country. They then proceeded to state that this decree and judgment were affirmed in 1821 upon appeal By the late Lord Chancellor, but that on a further appeal to the House of Lords this sentence was reversed, anil they complained that very unfair means had on that occasion been resorted to, particularly by the Earl of P'owig, the Recorder of the Borough, w ho had exerted all his in- " nenee against the petitioners, and by Lord Redesdale, ho sat for the Lord Chancellor, but wh « had previously ven his opinion or advice as to the course which it onld be proper for the Corporation to pursue. The Hon. Baronet stated that the most singular part of the petition was the concluding paragraph, in which they ndertook to prove at the bar of that House ( he truth of these accusations. lie then moved that the petition be brought up. Lord OLIVE, on behalf of his Noble Relative, Earl Powis, said he would be most ready and anxious, wlien- ver the House should be pleased to call for it, to give every possible information. ( Hear.) The Corporation of Ludlow bad, most imprudently, about the year 1560, accepted the trusteeship of St Leonard's Chapel, which was even then in so ruinous a condition as to be the . abject of a Grand Jury Presentment. They had no funds really available for the purposes of reparation ; and in this way the matter had gone on till the present me. The Noble Lord was very unwilling lo mention n that House any thing so personal'to himself and his hie Relative; but, in point of fact, they had, at a very considerable expense, made a present to the parish of a more commodious church- yard. ( Hear.) For the rest, the Noble Lord would be at any time willing to vindicate the share which he and the other members of the Corporation of Ludlow had done in this matter. After a few words from Sir JOSEPH YGRKR, The SPEAKER interposed. This Petition contained two prayers, — the first Was for the remedy of a grievance under which the parties stated themselves to he labour- ing; and this was perfectly legitimate. The second, which contained a prayer that this House would insti- tute, or cause to be instituted, an inquiry into certain alleged acts of two Noble Members of the other House of Parliament— implicating them by name— did appear to him to be inadmissible and irregular.— The diftrruVfy he felt was, in allowing Ihe House to receive a petition with the prayer of w hich they could not possibly com- ply. The petition he held in his hand complained of the conduct of the House of Peers in their appellant jurisdiction, and complained of one Peer, in particular, as having been remiss. The inquiry which the petition prayed to have instituted that House could not possibly engage in. He hoped he hod now stated enough to satisfy the House of the propriety of withdrawing this petition ; and he trusted that in doing so, he did not commit himself to any thing having even a remote tendency to interfere with the free presentation and discussion of petitions. ( Hear, hear, hear.) Sir F. BURDKTT knew no more of the petition than that it had been placed in his band to present. He bad informed the Noble Lord opposite of his intention, and the only feeling he had upon the subject was, that if there were such grievances as those complained of there ought to be some remedy. Lord CLIVK was sorry that he had not known that the Hon. Baronet was going to present this petition, because if he bad, tie should have informed himself more fully on Ihe subject, and have been able to ex- plain this matter more satisfactorily to the House. He could only say that his Noble Relation ( the Earl of Powis) would be most anxious that not the slightest opposition should be made to the inquiry prayed bv tbe petitioners, arid he thought he might say the same of the other Noble Lord whose name was mentioned in the petition. He would state to the House as shortly as pnefiihie thr origin t » f ttiis petition. Thv Corporation' of Ludlow had very imprudently accepted this trust of a ruinous chapel, called St. Leonard's Chapel, which, after it had been the cause of great expense to them, they pulled down.' The Corporation had pulled down the chapel as a matter of security, and he could assure the House that twenty years before it had been pre sented by the Grand Jury as in a ruinous state. ( Hear.) Undoubtedly ' be Vice Chancellor and other Judges had decided iu favour of the petitioners ; but Sir Anthony Hart, Ihe present Lord Chancellor of Ireland, conceiving that the case did not come under Sir Samuel Rdmilly's Act, advised the appeal to the House of Lords. Upon this advice, the Recorder thought it necessary to ask Lord Redesdale if it were a proper case to be appealed, and his Lordship's advice was similar to that of Sir A. Hart. On all hands, the same advice had been given.— The case was submitted to the late Lord Gifford, to the present Lord Chancellor, and lo his Majesty's present Attorney- General, and the opinion of all these eminent men was, that Sir T. Plomer and Lord Eldon had mis- apprehended Sir S. Romilly's Act. He hoped that if this inquiry would not he granted as a matter of course, it would be granted as a favour to himself, either by means of a Committee, or in whatever other way the House might think fit. He hoped that the subject would be strictly investigated, for he was sure that he should be able to prove that Ihe proceedings of the Corporation, lo which he had ihe honour to belong, and of which some of i he most respectable men in the county were members, had been what they ought to be, and that there was not the slightest foundation for the im- putation of corruption which the petitioners had- fixed upon them. He would not sit down without making an observation upon the particular mode in which this petition had come before the House. From all the cir- cumstances connected with it, heconld not belpsnspecl- ing that the signatures had been obtained either by the agent or gamekeeper of a gentleman who had petitioned against the last return for Ludlow. However, he should he very glad to meet a gentleman like the Hon. Baronet, whose conduct had always been honourable and impar- tial, iri a Committee on this subject. Sir JOSEPH YORKE said, the Noble Lord had not answered the petition according lo his feelings. As to the matter of law, lie bad no doubt that was right enough. But for the fact :— Was it true that the burial ground was in this disgraceful stale, and that the Corporation had let the burial ground attached to the chapel to one of their own body for a rent of £ 1. 12s.? Il thi « were true, he trusted that the Noble Lord would state the reasons for it. Lord CLIVE said, the question at issue between the corporation and the petitioners was this :— The one party contended that this burial ground was parochial, a id the other that it was piivale. He felt some delicacy in answering the question which had been put by his Hon. and Gallant Friend, because he might appear to be saying more in favour of his Noble Relation'and himself than he should wish to say. The fact was, that the church burial- ground being small and inadequate for so large a parish, they had made the parish a present of a piece of ground sufficient for a burial place. ( Hear, hear.) Sir F. BURDETT said he would certainly do his best to give satisfaction to all the parties. He was not awa when he undertook to present the petition that he should be drawn into a position of so much responsibility. The petition was then withdrawn. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. NEW CORN BILL. The Corn Laws Act, after a conversation between Mr. Portman, Mr Bvng, Mr. Beaumont, Mr. Grant, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Peel, and several other members, was committed, when Mr. CALCRAFT moved as an amend- ment that the resolutions of last year he substituted for those upon which the present, bill was founded. After some debate the House divided, when the amendment was negatived by a majority of 114: the number being for Mr. Calciaft's motion 58, against it 202. The Chairman then reported progress anil obtained leave to sit again on Friday. ilUactUaneotts Intelligent^. IMPORTANT TO WINE BIBBERS.— M, Bory de Saint- Vincent, an eminent French chymist, has, after repeated trials, discovered that the stopping of wine bottles with parchment or common bladder, instead of corks, has the effect of rendering the flavour of the wine, in a few weeks, equal to that of the oldest wines iu bottles. His reasoning on the subject is curious, and appears just, but is t. xi extended to admit of its insertion here— Suffice it to say, that he attributes this effect lo the parchment or bladder possessing tbe property of allowing the aqueous exhalations, only, to escape, and of being Wholly impenetrable to the spirit or body of the wiue. On Wednesday, being St. George's Day, His Majesty's Birth- day was kept; and the day wa » observed in the Metropolis with every demonstra- tion of r espect.— In the afternoon, His Majesty held a Drawing Room, which was brilliantly attended. Among the distinguished individuals present were — The Duke and Duchess of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Noi thumherland, the Duke and Duchess of Montrose; the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, the F. arl and Countess of Denbigh, the Countess of Tankerville; the Viscount Here- ford, the Viscount and Lad. v Lucy Clive; Lord Hill; Lord Ivenyon; Lady Forester; Lady Lucy Vaughan, Lady J. Thynne, Lady Emily Graham, Lady Isabella Thynne; Right Hou. C. VV W. Wynn ; Hon. Miss Drummond Bun- ell, Hon. I l'oyd Keny< n, Hon. Miss M. Kenyon, Hon. Miss P. Kenyon; Sir Watkin and Lady Harriet Williams Wynn ; Mr. Dawkius Pennant; Miss Williams Wynn, Miss L. Benyon, & c. & c.— Among the Ladie9 presented 011 this occasion were— The Countess of Shrewsbury ; the Countess of Bradford, on coming to her title, by Lady Lucy Clive; and the Hon. Miss H. Forester, by Lady Forester. The subject of Country Bank Notes has again begun to engage Ihe attention of the lending com mercial towns, and meetings have been advertised lo he held 111 many of them. Sheffield seems to he taking the lead, aud a requisition is about to be presented to the Master Culler for the purpose of convening a public meeting 011 the subject of Local Bank Noles. Now that all Ihe alarm and ill humour which* formerly prevailed upon Ihe subject has been done away, aud 1 lie matter seems to be better under- stood, we may discuss it with Ihe chance of having cool and impartial readers. We do Ihiuk that the Country Bankers were very unfairly dealt wilh two yeaisago. The panic was imputed 10 them almost entirely— lliey were favoured exclusively witb Ihe stigma of having been the. great eucouragers of those wild speculations which involved so many in either ruin or destruction. Time has shewn how utterly unfounded these charges were, and that the Country Bankers were unjusily accused. The amount of Country Bank Noles in 1S13, was nearly thirteen millions ; in 1H22, four millions, two hundred thousand pounds— a difference of about eighi millions. The Bank of England circulation was twenty four millions in 1813, and thirty millions iu 1822. The Agricultural distress was not produced by Ihe Rank of England returning lo cash payments, nor by Mr. Peel's Bill, because Ihe amount of money in circulation was not reduced by the measure. The distress has been solely attributed by intelligent writers to ihe contraction of the Country Bank cir eolation. Now, the Art passed in 1S26, prohibits the circulation of Noles under £ 5 after February, 1K- 29 It is to obtain some change or modification of this Acl, that meetings are about lo he held in different commercial cities.— Courier.—[ A meeting has since been held at Newcastle upon TVHC.]. The Police Committee, in prosecuting their in- quiries, are particular in directing their attention to Ihe subject of ihe compounding of felonies, and Ihe part which certain magistrates and police- officers have taken in Ihe restoration of stolen property. 111 pursuing this branch of Ihe subject, it is said lliai facts have been disclosed which astonished the committee, aud called forlh Ihe indignant comments of some of the members. A gentleman, whose pro- fessional assistance has been on several occasions exerted successfully in negociatiug for Ihe recovery of bankers' parcels, is said lo have split, and his evidence has implicated not only some of the police- officers of high character aud standing, but others also of still higher pretensions and more exalted station, who, if not actually engaged in negociating with thieves and receivers, were proved to have been something more than mere passive agents in these transactions. The defence sel up by the parlies thus implicated, was Ihe tola! impossibility of recovering stolen property from a certain class of thieves by any other means than by compounding with them for tbe whole or part of the amount. That some magistrates think ihe com- pounding of felonies not only no crime, but a positive merit, the following circumstance, of Ihe truth of which there is no doubt, will serve to shew :— Some lime ago, a gentleman had his pocket picked at Doncasler races of a very valuable gold watch. He immediately came 10 town, and proceeded to one of ihe police offices, where he staled his ease, and applied for the assistance of an officer lo help him lo recover the watch. The magistrate 10 whom Ihe geuttemnn applied, referred him to one of Ihe principal offireis, who, on hearing the case, atld receiving a description of Ihe suspected party, promised his assistance. " Bnl," said theofficcr," you must advertise Ihe watch, and offer a reward for it before 1 can do your business" The gentleman accordingly caused advertisements to be puhlishrd. describing ihe waleli, and offering 40 guineas for 1I9 recovery. When this was done Ihe officer called upon him, saving u your business is iu a good train, Sir ; 1 have discovered where your watch is, but you must pay something more than the reward for it. The fellow who has it is a — Jew." The gentleman con- sented lo give 20 guineas more. " If you will step to Ihe office at 12 o'clock to- morrow, Sir, you shall have your walch," said Ihe officer. The gentleman attended at the appointed hour, and ihe officer was called in. " Well, B." said Ihe magistrate, " what have you done about lllis gentleman's watch?" " I have recovered it for liini, your worship," said the officer, 11 and here il is," diawing the precious bauble from his fob, and presenting it to the magistrate wilh one of his best bows. " Upon my word," said tbe magistrate emphatically, 11 voo have done it well; you deserve great credit.' 1 Then turning to the gentleman, and handing him the watch, he said, " you see. Sir, what we can do when we like to go about it."— Times. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT IN DUBLIN, to com- pliment his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.— The Kildare slreet club ( we are sorry we cannot inform our readers who Ihey are) gave, a few days ago, a grand hall aud su pper, in honour of his excellency, to express the cordiality of their welcome lo the noble marquis. The festivity was acled in Ihe Rotunda. It is described to have been of a splendour unparalleled in the records of Irish pleasure aud feast. The stewards were noblemen aud persons of distinction. The company was It the number of 700 persons— His Excellency arrived on Ihe scene which was prepared lo complimcnt him at ten o'clock. The company continued to arrive till twelve— At that hour the supper room was opened, A table of thirty covers was appropriated lo the viceroy, raised tin a plat form : Ihe table was, of course, a sumptuous one, aud furnished with a splendid display of plale; a thing unusual iu public entertainments.— At supper, Ihe chairman gave the health of Ihe Noble Marquis, wilh a suitable compliment, but brief, as compliments should be al supper, when Ihe ladies want Jo resume their quadrilles. His Excellency replied appropriately, and also briefly. He Ihen proposed " The women of Ireland," a loast which was pledged with an acclamation of heartiness becoming Irishmen on such an occasion. His Excellency lhen, iu Ihe name of Ihe Ladies Paget, his daughters, proposed another toast, " The men of Ireland," which il is to be supposed Ihe ladies pledged wilh apparent diffidence aud reserve, but with much secret good will. The toast was received by Ihe men wilh laughter and immense applause— After this, dancing was resumed, and ihe pleasure was prolonged to an early hour of Ihe morning The entertainment was altogether one of rare and high delight, aud lo be long remembered. THE FLEET PRISON.— Government has given its consent to the removal of the Fleet Prison to a plot of ground in St. George's Fields, situate on the west side of the new road from the Westminster- road to Bethlem Hospital. This plot of ground belongs to the City, and is to be given to the Crown in exchange for the fee simple of the ground on which the Fleet Prison now stands. RESUSCITATION OF DROWNED PERSONS.— Mr. Williams, of Kingsmead- square, Bath, has suggested to'the Medical Gentlemen who may be called upon to exercise all the known means used for resuscitation, to add that of the Stomach Pump. " As restoring vital heat ( says Mr. W.) is the first consideration, no instrument that I am ac- quainted with, would promote this desirable end with equal facility. By this double action of repletion and evacuation, the use of the Stomach Pump would enable them to introduce warm water into the stomach, commencing at its natural tem- perature of 98 degrees, gradually increasing it to 150, and also by adding spirits, ammonia, and ipecacuanha, all of which medicines are known to act powerfully upon the coats of the stomach." Sir James Scarlett, the eminent barrister, was born about 63 yeari ago, at Jamaica, of which island his brother, formerly the barrister in the greatest practice, is now the Chief Justice. Both Sir James Scarlett and his brother were sent at a very early a^ e to England, in order to have the benefit of a British education.— During the period of their boyhood, the one who is now Chief Justice of Jamaica, was deemed, by his teachers,- nrnch the abler of the two, and strong efforts were ma! de to induce him to caBt is lot in England, but in vain ; his love of country, or some other feeling equally strong prevailed, and prevailed rightly, for he has now attained the summit of legal fame in his native island. DEATH O* THE COUNTESS NELSON.— Sarah Countess Nelson, died 011 Thursday afternoon, at her resilience in Poltman- square. Her ladyship, who was in the 79th year of her age, was daughter of the Rev. Henry Yonge, and at the lime of her marriage with the I hen Rev. William Nelson, in 178R, had very little expectation that her brows would ever be decorated wilh a countess's coronet, Ihe present Earl Nt Ison, who is a prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral, having succeeded lo Ihe title 011 the demise without issue of the late illustrious Earl Nelson, according to the limitations of the patent Her ladyship has left an only daughter living, Charlotte Mary, wife of Lord Bridport, to whoseeldest son, Alexander Nelson Hood, now in his fifteenth year, both those illustrious titles, Nelson and Bridport, will ultimately descend. We mentioned the fact a short time since, that two clergymen had sailed from this port for Great Britain, to claim titles and estates in lordships supposed to be vacant. One of them was the Rev. A. G. Frazer, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church in Westfield, Massachusetts. The New Brunswick Times has received intelligence that he is about to succeed to the title of Lord Lovat, in Scotland, with an annuity of £ 20,000 sterling. — New York Commercial Advertiser.— An English clergyman is also said to have a claim to the title. PARISH EXPENSES— A very considerable number of the parishes in Ihe metropolis have been in a slate tif great confusion lately, in consequence of disputes between the parishioners at large and their authorities in some, and between the poorer and wealthier parishioners iu others, chiefly arising from the funds of llie parishes being appropriated 10 olher purposes ( vesirv aud parochial dinners) than those f. » r which they aie levied. Il is impossible not lo approve of the efforls making to obtain a fair and more dis. interested ndrogiistratioii of Ihe affairs of Ihe parishes, when we find extravagant dinners and feasts charged lo Ihe parish, and of course so much deducted from the fuuds which ought to he devoted to the alleviation of Ihe miseries of the aged and sick poor, and lo those otlier demands which" are indispensably necessary for ihe security and the welfare of Ihe parish. The English language appears not only to be spoken, but printed, in almost every part of the habitable world. Onr enterprising countrymen have established printing presses amongst the savages of regious but. yesterday discovered, and in countries long civilized and subjected to the most powerful and jealous Governments. These remarks have been called forth by the arrival of the first three numbers of an English paper pub- lished in China, called the Canton Register. This paper appears to be very well conducted, and contains much interesting matter relative to the customs and manners of the Chinese, which will throw great light upon the institutions of that most singular people. To prevent the ravages of the common green caterpillar on inignionette, put some unslacked lime into a pail, pour water on it, and let it stand for half an hour to settle, and then pour the water on the mignionette. It will kill any sort of cater- pillar, slug, or worm, if two or three times repeated, without in the least degree injuring the plant. That is a curious faculty which some persons possess of finding the virtues and vices in clusters. So that, in an individual whom they regard with a favourable eye, they can see nothing but what is good; and if, by any one single change whatever, a revolution of feeling takes place in the mind, then all that was good becomes bad. At Ttlgel ( Hanover) we were informed by the landlord of the inn where we alighted, thai his dwell, ing, humble as it appeared, had been honoured by having been, for several days, the residence of His Majesty, George IV. for w hich honour we found he hail been more indebted lo accident than design, since one of the carriages having been upset, the attend auls behind hail been flung off, and one of them severely wounded. Wilh his characteristic humanity, therefore, his Majesty ordered him to be conveyed into this house, alighted himself, and remained here a whole day. This circumstance proved 0 fortunate one for Ihe landlord, as it produced him a thousand dollars ; it is needless, therefore, to say, that he spoke of our Monarch's liberality in Ihe niosl rap- lurous terms. Even Ihe slnins of blood 011 Ihe table, on which the wounded man was laid when first brought inlo the house, were pointed out lo us, and will, without doubt, be preserved as a memorial for his descendants. Had it not been for this occur- rence, I much doubt whether Telget would have been long favoured wilh Ihe presence of royalty, as the place itself has nothing attractive in its aspect.— Wilson's Travels. The Corporation of Leominster have determined to build a new Bridge over the River in that town. IRELAND.— Out of fourteen persons apprehended for the murder of Daniel Mara, two have been convicted and executed as principals— two have been sentenced to execution, as accessaries before the fact— one was convicted for conspiracy to minder— and six have pleaded guilty.— Clonmel Herald, April 9. Those whom the' crown lias suffered to plead guilty will not be executed, but sentence of death has been recorded in every instance. The newspaper proceeds to say, " The fate of these unthinking wretches will, it is hoped, have a good effect in restoring the tranquillity and character of the county of Tipperary— long tarnished by a succession of the most atrocious crimes. If any- thing can expose the folly and wickedness of an ignorant and stupid conspiracy, the treachery of desperate associates leagued in a career of guilt, surely it must be the singular circumstances attending this important trial. Every feature of the case proves to demonstration, that the tie which connects men in a bad cause is weak and untenable: their union is a rope of sand, reduced to nothing- ness at the remotest prospect of danger— a com- bination formed only to betray. Thus, by a wise dispensation of Providence, they are sure to become the instruments of their own destruction. We understand that the country stands pre- eminently indebted to Dr. Fitzgerald, of Clonmel, who, by his exertions as a magistrate, led to the detection of the entire conspiracy. THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY.— Answer of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to the Address of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Bankers, Merchants, and Traders of Dublin. " Il is with sentiments of I lie deepest gratitude that I receive the flattering Address, wherein you are pleased to welcome tny arrival in litis country. " I came here filled willi anxiety lo further the views of our mosl gracious Sovereign, liy using my best endeavours to advance the interests of Ireland. " If I had required any incentive to the strenuous performance of this interesting duty, I have amply received it in Ihe universal kindness I liave experienced from all classes since my arrival here. " Elated, as I confess myself lo hp, by the warmth of feeling that has been manifested towards nte by ilial generous confidence which yon seem inclined s., promptly to repose in me, I am, nevertheless, diffident nt my power to fulfil your cxpeeiations ; if, however, ardent zeal, if indefatigable industry, if fit unless and impartiality in Ihe administration of Ihe law, can preserve lliat confidence, I shall nut fear 10 lose it. " When I contemplate Ihe elements of which this De- putation is composed — w lien I observe in it men of the highest rank and reputation in Ihe country— men differing from each• other in their religious creeds, anil in their political sentiments; hut all coming forward wilh common accord to hail ihe arrival of Hie King' « Representative, whose chief aim is now known to be, 10 promote ihe union of all, Ihe abolition of everv iu vidions parly distinction, aud the advancement of the general good, I am sanguine lo anticipate that happv days are at hand ; nnd I indulge in the flattering hope that I tuny luive lite heartfelt gratification of witnessing the innumerable benefits and blessings which would, I firm I v believe, immediately accrue lo all classes of society in this country, from Ihe establishment of mutual confidence, harmony, aud tranquillity through- out Ireland," Amongst the dealers in base coin, a crown piec ® is called a " bull;" a half- crown, a " half- bull;" a shilling, a " bob;" a sixpence, a " tanner." PROGRESS OF EUROPEAN MANUFACTURES I* INDIA.— As Bishop Heber penclreled into Ibe inferior of India, he fouud the same tasie as in Calcutta fol" European articles and for luxuries to prevail every, where among the natives. Of Benares, be writes as follows:—" But what surprised me still more than yesterday, as 1 peuMrated further inlo it, were Ihe iarge, lofty, and handsome dwelling houses, the beauty and apparent richness of Ihe goods exposed in the bazaars, and the evident hum of business. Betlarea is in fact a very industrious and wealthy, as well as a very holy cily. It is the great mart where Ihe shawls of the north, the diamonds of the south, and Ibe mus- lins of Dacca and Ihe eastern provinces centre j and it has very considerable silk, cotton, and fine Woollen manufactories of its own ; while English hardware, swords, shields, and spears, from Lucknow and Mon- gliyr, and those European luxuries and elegancies which are daily becoming more popular in India, cir- culate from hence through Bumi lecutul, Gorr nek poor, Nepaul, and other tracts which are removed from Ihe main artery of Ihe Ganges." Proceeding still further inlo the interior of ihe country, and when al Nusseer- abad, distant above 1000 miles from Calcutta, ihe bishop continues his journal in the same strain, namely :—" European articles are at Nusseerabad, as might be expected, very dear ; file shops are kept by a Greek and two Paisees from Bombay They bad in their lists all the usual items of a Calcutta ware- house. English cotton cloths, both w hite aud printed, ' are lo be met wilh commonly in wear among the people of Ihe country, and may, I learned to my sur- prise, he bought best and cheapest, as well as all kinds of hardware, crockery, writing- desks, & c at Palec, a large town aud celebrated mart in Marwar, on the edge of the desert, seveial days'journey west of Joudpoor, where, till very lately, no European was known to have penetrated." " Chilkcah, though a poor place to look al, is by no means an unimportant one, at certain seasons of the year, being one of the principal marls of trade, both into Kcmaoon, and through that country into Thibet and Tarlary. A streat number of temporary huts, ranged iu Ihc form of a regular town, were already built, aud many more were building for the accommodation of traders who met in this emporium ; and I was surprised to find English cloths and many olher serviceable and valu- able commodities, exposed for sale in hots, which scarcely equalled a collage cowhouse in Shropshire." MUSCULAR STRENGTH.— The muscular power of the human body is wonderful. A Turkish porter will run along carrying a weight of 600 pounds; and Milo, of Crotoua, is said to have lifted an ox weighing upwards of 1,000 pounds. Haller mentions an instance of a man, whose finger being caught in a chain at the bottom of a mine, by keeping it forcibly bent supported by that means the weight of his whole body, 150 pounds, till he was drawu up to the surface, a height of 600 feet Augustus 11. King of Poland, could with his fingersroll up a silver dish like a sheet of paper, and twist the strongest horse shoe asunder; and a lion is said ( Phil. Trans. No. 310) to have left the impression of his teeth upon a piece of solid iron. The most prodigious power of the muscles is exhibited by fish. A whale moves with a velocity through the dense medium of water, that would carry him, if continued at the same rate, round the world in little more than a fortnight; and a sword- fish has been known to strike his weapon through the oak plank of a ship. HUMAN SKELETON.— The following interesting account of a humair skeleton found in one of Ihe Tumuli of the Wesl, is laken from a lelier from Mr. John Travis, addressed to the Editor of the West Tenneseean :—-" Sometime in the mouth of Juue, 1826, Mr. Hugh Curlin, living on Old Town Creek,- about seven or eight miles west of Paris, Henry county, Tennesee, while ploughing through a mouinl iu his field, discovered a complete human skeleton of an enormous size, li measured seven feet two inches in length, and the bones generally were large in pro- portion. There is a mark around the cranium appa. remly made with a knife. This fart would seem to induce Ihe belief that the living subject nwist have been a white man. The head was lying eastward, a position not customary among civilized nations. This is the largest human skeleton that 1 recollect seeing an account of, except one mentioned by Cnvier, in his theory of the earib, which was found in an island in Ihe South Sea. There are about fifteen tumuli 011 the lands of Mr. Curlin, the most elevated of which does not exceed five feet. It is probable that each of these tumuli contain human bones. In tbe vicinity of these mounds, immediately on Old Town Creek, near Thomas's Mill, there is Ibe ruin of an old redoubt, or, as some think, Ihe wall of an old town.— American Paper. CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE OF HINDOSTAW. — Having lived twenty- three years in India, and passed much of that time in intimate intercourse with various natives, I have a different opinion of their character to that given in several printed works I have constantly seen, in their acts and conduct, the practice of the most amiable virtues. I have experienced, from many, the most grateful attachment. I believe them capable of all the qua- lities that can adorn the human mind; and though I allow many of their imputed faults, ( Vhere is the individual or the nation without them ?) I must still ascribe those faults more to Ihe rigour of the despotisms under which they have so long groaned, and which, unhappily, we have but slenderly alle- viated, than to natural depravity of disposition, or to any institutions peculiar to themselves. It should also be remembered, that no small portion both of the wealth and fame of this country has been acquired through the means of native Indians. Justice and gratitude, therefore, require of us to make them the best returns in our power. Under the peculiar circumstances, too, of our own country, and the apparently united exertions of our faithful friends, and grateful allies, 011 the continent of Europe, to drive our commerce and manufactures from their shores, who would not gladly see fresh channels cleared, to relieve existing difficulties, or to disarm the efforts of neighbouring malignity? The golden dreams that have deluded so many spe- culators to fancy the provinces of South America, and even the interior of Africa, to be filled with interminable resources for the immediate consump- tion of British goods, have now vanished; but fields of better prospect are still within our reach. In India, if any where, can these flattering expecta- tions be realized. In India, more than could have been expected has already resulted from the few privileges so reluctantly conceded by the act of 1813. In India, commercial treasures exist, of which very inadequate conceptions have yet been formed in Britain ; the avenues to which may be further widened at the pleasure of the British legislature; but will be again contracted, if the suggestions of prejudice, or self- interest, be allowed to prevail over the dictates of a sounder policy.— Hichards's India.
