SOME persons who quitted St. Peters- burg on the 7th, sav that the Emperor, at a late review of the troops, announced to them tbat he would soon lead them to battle, and tbat the soldiers received this news with transports of joy. london, MONDAY, MAY 6. The Duke of Cumberland and his son Prince George visited his Majesty yesterday. The Princess Augusta was allowed by her medical advisers to leave her chamber yesterday, for the Brst time since her indisposition. A meeting of several of the Cabinet Ministers took place yesterday at the Foreign Office. Despatches were yesterday received from Sir Edward Codrington. Our squadron was in a perfect State of equipment, and was off the coast of the Morea. Letters of the 11th of April were received this morning from Odessa. They state that the whole Russian army destined to act against the Turks was in readiness to cross the Pruth; but they assign as a reason for not having already done so, and for the probability of being delayed a few weeks longer, the effects of the ex, treme severity of the winter in those parts, which had, among other circumstances detrimental to the progress of so large an army, retarded vegetation in an unprecedented manner in the Principalities. The intelligence from Con- stantinople was of the 5th at Odessa, which is more recent than any that has yet reached us from that capital. The military preparations of the Porte were still carried on with great activity: and the recruits from Asia Minor continued to cross the capital in order to rendezvous at Adrianople. It appears by letters just received from St. Petersburgh, that the emperor remained in that capital on the 20th of last month. The latest advices from Frankfort on the Maine state, that the French Government had sent com- missioners to various parts of Northern Germany for the purpose of making considerable purchases of horses, both for cavalry and artillery. A private letter from Lisbon says: " The only publications now allowed in Lisbon are violently and openly in favour of Absolutism; and efforts are making to prevent the public from reading or conversing on poli- tics. Several coffee- house keepers have been taken up before the Magistrates, and obliged to give security that they will prevent all political discussions in their houses. There is nothing decided with respect to the assembling of the Cortes. The city of Oporto is still tranquil, but there, as in Lisbon, every effort is making to annihilate the spirit of freedom. The corps of commercial volun- teers has been disbanded. All the Constitutionalists are called Freemasons, and the prejudices of the mob are cxcited against them by the Apostolic publications, and by the sermons of the friars. The number of rejoicings For Don Miguel's return by the friars is on the increase every day, and their sermons are more violent than be- fore. My situation is not a very desirable one at present — each party here are full of invectives against the English." An article from Zante it! the French papers, ttates, that Ibrahim, having refused to evacuate the Morea, the French and English ships had blockaded Navarin and Modon, to prevent the entrance of vessels With ammunitions and provisions. BAYONNE, April 26.—' The evacuation of St. Sebastian has not yet commenced. The artillery are to leave it on the 20th, and on the 3d of May not a single Frenchman will be left in it. It is asserted that the Go- vernor of Guipozco- has received official accounts that, in consequence of a further Treaty between the two So- vereigns,' the French are totally to evacuate Spain. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.— At a very nume- rous meeting of Catholics in Dublin, on Friday, Mr. O'Connell, after some prefatory remarks, moved, that as the Duke of Wellington had advocated the cause of the Dissenters, the resolution which had been passed on a former occasion, expressive of the hostility of the Catho- lics to the present Administration, and calling on the trish Members of Parliament not to support any ministry having the Duke of Wellington at its head, be withdrawn. Mr. O'Gorman said that, as the Duke of Wellington had pledged hinjself very recently to oppose the Catholic question, lte< Mr. O'G.) could not give his assent to the resolution. He concluded with moving, as an amend- ment, that the meeting do adjourn. Mr. Shiel and, Mr. Lawless supported the amendment. The further discussion of the question was then post- poned. A deputation of maltsters had a conference " with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday. Londou has seldom been so full as at the present period. The display of fashion in Hyde Park eve- y afternoon is extremely numerous, and the equi- pages of the, most splendid description. The tax on sugar last year amounted to the large sum of 4,200,000/. The East India Company's ships Minerva, Tigris, and Kellie Csstle, arrived last week from Bengal Mid China: the former brings 250,0001. in specie on account of the Deccan prize money. 900,0001. more is expected by the next arrivals. The carpet weavers of Kidderminster, it is to be lamented, still refuse to work. They have formed a committee, by which the general body is governed; and the masters appear determined not to give higher wages than those now offered. Many of the men are stated to be spreading themselves over the neighbourhood begging, leaving their wives and children in a wretched state at home. At Shrewsbury sessions, a true bill was found against an individual for not assisting a constable in the execution of his duty, when called upon to do so. HOPS.— The appearance of the bine is said to be so favourable that the duty, which had commenced at 120,0007., has risen to 126,000?— Brighton Gaxette. BorougH, may 5.— Our market remains without any alteration in the currency, but rather more doing. Holders very firm, being generally disposed to wait the result of this month.

It will afford peculiar nourishment to the leather, and, if well laid on with clean brushes, it will not soil the most delicate akin, or the finest linen. The best proof of its superiority over all other blacking, is the unprecedented patronage it lias at- tuned amongst all classes in the British Metropolis within tlie short space of four years, it being now selling in up. wards of 0000 shops within the bills cS mortality.

The Bishop of Norwich pre- Sented several petitions in favour of the Catholic Claims, and the Rev. Prelate said, he thought it was the wish of tile majority of the nation that those claims should be conceded. Lord Lorton presented a petition of 1,400 Dissenters of Down, against the Catholic claims. Lord Malmesbury presented several petitions against the importation of foreign wool. The Duke of Richmond moved, according to notice, a Select Committee to enquire into the state of the Wool Trade. Ilis Grace entered into several calculations to shew that tile increase of exported woollens had not kept pace with the increase of imported wool. The Dnke of Wellington said he would willingly grant the Committee, not because he thought the result would be a recommendation to alter the law, but to continue it. The Earl of Harewood granted the statements of the Duke of Richmond, but could not concede that no ad- vantage had arisen from the diminution of the duty. After some observations from Lord Malmesbury, Lord Wharncliffe, and Lord Redesdale, the Committee was agreed to. Counsel was called in and the examination of witnesses on the Penryn case proceeded until ten o'clock, when their Lordships adjourned. TUESDAY, May 6.— The Stamps on Cards and Dice Reduction Bill was read a third time and passed. On a motion that the Report of the Committee on the Bill for legalizing the Sale of Game be received, The Earl of Malmesbury said he had not so great an objection to the Bill when it was first offered as lie now hall, since it had received the additional clauses. It was thought that this Bill would diminish poaching ; but he was persuaded that it would prove wholly inefficient for that purpose. There would be very great difficulty in obtaining convictions under the proposed measure, Where poachers were taken. The noble Earl said, in conclusion, that he would divide the House on the ques- tion of receiving the Report. The Marquis of Lansdowne said he would certainly give his sincere support to the present measure. The Game Laws had a most pernicious effect on the morals of the country, from one end to the other, and had caused an increase of crime the most appalling. Poaching, he whs fully persuaded, invariably led to crimes of a higher nature; but from the Bill as now constructed, very few persons had an interest in poaching, while a great many had an interest in preventing poaching—( Hear.) The Earl of Malmeshnry observed that one of the causes, he thought, of the increase of crime, had not been nained in this discussion— he meant tile want of employ for the labouring population in the agricultural districts. ( Hear.) This state of things had been brought about, let it be remembered, by Bonded Corn Bills, and the Act for introducing the 90,000,000 lbs. of foreign wool. —( Hear.) It was well known that, out of five honest labourers, three could not be employed, owing to the diffiulties under which the agriculturists laboured— ( Hear.) Vicount Goderich said he should support the Bill. It was proved before the Committee, that one person sold in- one year, 19,000 head of game, of which 2,000 only had been furnished from game- keepers. There was surely then a necessity for altering the laws, when it was obvious that the Acts could not be enforced—( Hear.) He considered it indispensable to get rid of the crying evil of the Game Laws. Their Lordships then divided, when the numbers were — Contents 54 ; Non- Contents 29 ; majority 25. The report was then brought up, and the Bill was or dered to be read a third time on Monday. The Night Poaching Bill went through a Committee, and received several amendments— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, May 5 Numerous petitions were pre- sented from Ireland, praying for Catholic emancipation. On the presenting of a pention against any additional duty being laid upon wool, and in reply to Lord Milton, who presented it, Mr. C. Grant said, that his Majesty's Government had well considered the subject, and had determined to make no alteration in the duty. Mr. Liddell presented two petitions from Newcastle and North Shields against the Small Notes Bill. Mr. L. said it was necessary to encourage and accommodate the manufacturing interests, which could not be effected without the country bankers. Mr. Bell thought if the plan of Ministers were per- sisted in. a vacuum in the currency would be created tfhich they would find it extremely difficult to fill up. No reply was made to these observations. Mr. Peel entered into an enumeration of the pro- spective advantages to be derived from Lord Lansdowne's Law of Evidence Bill, previous to the House going into Committee on the Bill, The Right Hon. Gentleman also explained the various causes of the Offences Against the Person Bill of the same Nobleman. The two Bills were successively committed, and, after some discussion, the clauses, with a few inconsiderable amendments, were agreed to. The Election Trial Consolidation Bill was passed, after some amendments had been made in it.— Adj. TUESDAY, May 6. Numerous petitions were pre- sented for anil against the Catholic claims. Sir Thomas Lethbridge presented a petition from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. Mr. Hume presented a petition from the Stationers of London against the Receipt Stamp Bill. Mr Sugden called the attention of the House to a subject of much importrnce, as regarded the claims of creditors upon real property in this country. The learned gentleman, after pointing out and remarking upon the various defects of the law on this subject as it now stood, moved for leave to bring in a bill for the farther facility of Payment of Debts out of Real Estates. Mr. Wallace concurred in the expediency of the pio- posed measure. Such a law was very much wanted. Mr. Hume said he trusted the Hon. and learned Gen- tleman would persevere in this and similar propositions for the amendment of the law. Leave was then given to bring in the hill The House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Cities and Boroughs Election Bill. Upon the words in the clause limiting the number of days for the poll to remain open to six, an amendment moved by Mr. Robertson was lost. The other orders of the day were gone through— Adj. London, WEDNESDAY, MAY 7. The Princess Augusta took an airing yester- day morning, in her carriage, in Hyde- park, for the first time since the commencement of her indisposition. Prince Leopold pave his first grand party on Monday evening at Marlborough House, Pall- mall, which was conducted in the moat princely and costly style. The Marchioness of Lansdowne gave one of the grandest routs of the season, on Monday evening, nt Lansdowne House, Berkeley- square, which was attended by nearly six hundred of the hunt ton. Dispatches were received this morning from Sir F. Lamb at Lisbon, dated the 25th and 26th ult. Pjpt rs and letters of the same date were also received, which are important, because they contradict tfie tenor of fj- o' preceding arrivals, which had induced a belief that Don Miguel had abandoned, if nut hiswistes, at least iii intentions, of assuming the Royal Digniy. O. I the 24th ult. the birth- day of the mother of Don Mignel, a grand Levee was held at the Palace of Ajuda, and the Senate proceeded in a body with an address to Don Miguel. The terms of the address have not been published, but it is believed that it recommended the assumptian of the Royal Dignity. In lie evening there v. a; an almost general illumination, and at the Opera the Royalist Hymn was sung three times, under the belief r>' i. t ill.' invitation of the Senate had been acceded to. Next day a Decree was issued, and published in the Ga- zette of the 26th, in answer to the address of the Senate. Don Miguel concludes this Decree with saying, " I am certain that the Senate and the honourable inhabitants of this city, often having represented in the terms which alone become them, will give to the world and to posterity another example of their fidelity, by quietly wailing in their houses for the further measures which it belongs to me alone to order." The French papers of Saturday contain ac- counts announcing that King Ferdinand, with his Queen, arrived at Saragossa on the 22d ult., and that they were !. ei! with demonstrations of loyal enthusiasm. Their Majesties entered the city sealed in a triumphal car, drawn by the inhabitants dressed in the old Spanish garb. In the evening the city was illuminated. Their Majes- ties, on the 23d, proceeded to the Church of our Lady of the Pillar, a visit to whose shrine was one of the chief motives of their visit. The Paris papers of Sunday announce the death of Count De Seze, the faithful and courageous de- fender of Louis XVI. The Society of Arts have bestowed their large silver medal upon Commander Win. T.

Extracts from the Parts papers : " PARIS, May 4 Accounts from Brazil, received at Lisbon, announce that a serious insurrection has broken out in several provinces. The speedy departure of Don Pedro for the Peninsula was spoken of. All this intelli- gence destroys commerce; nothing- is done, and the warehouses are full. " ODESSA, April 10 We have received the agreeable news that their Imperial Majesties will arrive in this town at the end of this month or the beginning of the next. Every preparation has already teen made to re- ceive our august visiters. It is said that the Emperor will stay here but a few days, and will then proceed im- mediately to the army. The Empress will remain among us till the end of the campaign. All the troops are ad- vancing in divisions and in corps, and will be so con- centrated, on the 27th or 28th, that they will be able to open the campaign. The weather is now favourable ; the roads, which have been rendered impassable by the rains, are now dried up by the sun and the wind, so that they are as good as the best made roads. " Vessels laden with provisions sail daily for Killia, where the Imperial squadron will assemble to support the army. It is said that the pontoniers have received orders to commence, on the 17th, the erection of the bridges on the Pruth. This is the day on which the Grand Duke Michael is to arrive at the army. " TRIESTE, April 24.— The accounts from Malta say that the Russian squadron, commanded by Count Heiden, had sailed on the I4th to reinforce the squadrons block- ading Navarin. A part of it is to join the Russian ships which are at Smyrna. It is also said that several French and English ships have received orders to blockade the port of Alexandria." The following statement is given in the Ham- burgh Gazette as from good authority:—" The passage of the Pruth by the Russian army was fixed for the 25th April, N. S. The Emperor of Russia will leave St. Pe- tersburgh on 7th May, and join the army on the 17th. In case the Porte should not make concessions, the pas- sage of the Danube will lake place ill the latter half of May, and the Russians will then attack the fortress of Schumla, which is said to have a garrison of 11000 Turkish troops." A conspiracy is said to have been discovered among Some of the Greek troops occupying Carabusa, the object of which was to massacre the English and French who were with them. It was fortunately discovered in time, and the guilty were thrown into prison, to be put upon their trial. In doing this, the secret hoards of the pirates who lately possessed the island were found, and large quantities of goods recovered. Accounts from Hayti to the 12th March an- nounce that the tranquillity of the Republic had been entirely re- established. The last accounts received from Frankfort state that the French Government had been purchasing horses in Germany to a considerable extent, for the pur- pose of mounting" their cavalry. Extracts of a private letter just received i " LISBON, April 25. Notice having appeared in the Gazette that a levee would be holden on Thursday at the Palace of Bemposta, the troops on the route gave cheers, and the 16th Infantry Regiment turned out in order to cry out for the Absolute King, This regiment, formerly Constitutional, has been obliged to change sides by the alteration of its officers. A part of them shouted, but another part refused to join, as Don Miguel passed at Bemposta, his father's Palace. Near the gates of the Palace a hired mob saluted him with shouts of " Viva Don Miguel, our Absolute King." " The Senate set out in their chaises, for the Palace of the Ajuda, where there was assembled a grand levee, in consequence of the birth- day of the Empress Queen, the mother of Don Miguel. " When the carriage of Sir F. Lamb, in which he and the Hon. Mr. Forbes, Secretary to the Legation, were seated, had turned a corner which brought them in view of the Palace, a rocket was fired off, and a mob of .100 of the lowest rabble rushed out from the portals, and sur- rounded the carriage, shouting with all their might,— " Viva the Absolute King of Portugal, Don Miguel I." The way being cleared, the British Ambassador passed on coolly. Don Miguel gave audience to the crowd of courtiers, but the old Queen excused herself on account of ill health from being seer, by any except a few special favourites. The Senate was the last to present their homage. " In order to encourage the mob. a written Proclama- tion, signed by the Intendant of Police, was stuck up at every cornier. The Proclamation was construed to be an invitation to them to declare in favour of Absolutism. " Some of the mob, by way of varying the scene, got a big bound book— no matter what— which they called the Charter, and set fire to it; they threw stones on the fire, and some spit and stamped on it, while others cried out— ' Viva our Absolute King, D. Miguel I.' " In the evening there was a pretty general illumina- tion. At the opera- house all the Portuguese Partizans of Absolutism attended, and as soon as the curtain rose some half- pay officers shouted for the Royalist hymn, which was three times repeated, amidst the waving of the ladies handkerchiefs. " ELVAS.— In this province sixteen Camaras have publicly proclaimed Don Miguel King, as well as many of the small villages. Several deputations are in Lisbon, tq congratulate his Royal Highness. In Elvas, Evora, and Portalager, numbers wear ribands in their hats- some with mottos of" Don Miguel, King." The whole Of the lower orders are decidedly for Absolutism. The City of Beja is quite contrary— all for Don Pedro. " On Sunday last the Book of the Constitution was buried, with great ceremony, at a place two leagues from this; and, after proclaiming Don Miguel, the whole po- pulation witnessed a document— not by signing, for few of them could write— hot making a cross opposite their names, written by the priest ; when plenty of wine was distributed, and all departed satisfied with their loyalty." CORFU, March 23.— All the news from Greece is cheering. Ibrahim Pacha, having destroyed Tripo- lizza, is now at Modon and Coron, with all his army ; nobody knows what his intentions are, but he has made no hostile movement whatever lately. The pirates at Crambusa have been destroyed, and the fortress, which they say, is a very strong one, is given up to M. Mavro- cordato, who has been sent by the Greek Government to Candia for that purpose. General Guilleminot, the French Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte, is still here ; and, we understand, that Mr. Stratford Canning and M. de Ribeaupierre are ex- pected here every day, when, it is said, a Congress will take place. We learn, from Trieste, that Austria is making large military preparations— that she sends numerous armies to her Turkish frontiers— but with what intentions we do not know. Accounts from Bombay mention that exer- tions were making in several of the provinces, to prepare petitions to the Legislature for a modification of the du ties on the import here of East India sugars. A nume- rous meeting had been held on this subject at Calcutta, when various resolutions were passed, and a petition founded upon them drawn up, which is on its way to England. It is contended, that the Revenue would not only be assisted, but that the trade in cotton manufac- tures, & c. to India would be materially assisted. It is said that the Government of Bombay have relinquished the idea of enforcing a Stamp- duty at thai Presidency, and at Surat, on account of the excite- ment which the proposed measure had created among all classes of persons engaged in commerce. The printer of the Bombay Courier Extraor- dinary has a name, which for its brevity and euphony would be much admired in England : he is called Shree- crusta Jaggonathjee Prabhoo ! The plague has broken out among the Egyp- tian troops in Modon. LYONS, April 28.— There is still the same nullity in business of every description here, as well as in the Silk trade. Money is very scarce, and it is almost impossible to get any description of paper discounted. It is difficult to give a quotation of the prices of Silks gene- rally ; but there is a considerable decline. The accounts from different parts of the South, relative to the silk- worm are rather unfavourable, as from the badness of the weather they are in a very sickly state, and the mul- berry- tree had suffered from the storm. Authentic information has been received of Captain Clapperton's death ; dysentery carried him off, on the 13th April, 1827, at Soccotoo. Hopes are enter- tained that Major Laing is still living : he was at Tim- buctoo in March. A meeting of the Anti- Slavery Society was held on Saturday at Freemasons' Tavern; the Duke of Gloucester in the chair ; at which a series of resolutions were unanimously adopted, cxpressive of regret and dis- appointment that the resolutions for meliorating Colonial Bondage, adopted by Parliament, had " through the pertinacious resistance of the Colonial Authorities," been rendered ineffectual: and stating that the Society there- fore " feel it to be their duty again to approach Parlia- ment with their earnest solicitations, both to abolish those laws in favour of slave- grown produce, which, while at variance with all sound principles of commercial policy, tend to perpetuate and aggravate the evils of slavery; and also, above all, to enact anil enforce such legislative measures for the mitigation anil eventual extinction of slavery, as may redeem the pledges that have been given, and fulfil tie just expectations of the people of England on this painfully interesting subject." The meeting was attended by Mr. Wilberforce, Sir James Macintosh, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Denman, and Mr. Buxton, who severally addressed the assembly. The hall and galle- ries were crowded ; and a great many ladies were present. A female servant at Brislington was lately charged with stealing a 201, note from her master. On a constable being sent for, she acknowledged that she had rolled it up an! swallowed it. An emetic having been administered, tie note was soon recovered very little injured ! A person, in a respcctable station of life, re siding in Greyhound- yard, Nottingham, attempted to put a period to his existence on Friday night, by swal- lowing a quantity of laudanum ; but, by the application of the stomach- pump, the deleterious liquid was dis- lodged, and the individual has happily recovered. B. Herman, apprentice to Mrs. Carroll, tailor, Plough- court, Fetter- lane, 21 years of age was fully committed on Friday from Guildhill for violating his mistress's child, five years and three uonths old. It is positively affirmed, but we know not upon what authority, that it is the intention of the Go- vernment either to fund seven millions' of Exchequer Bills, or to raise a loan to that amount. The money so raised, it is further said, is intended to pay the debt owing to the Bank of England Morning Herald.

A grand Cricket Club has been formed at Hampton, consisting of 81 members, at the bead of which is the Lord High Admiral. Among the members are some of the most distinguished names in the country. Moulsey Hurst is chosen as the head quarters of the club, and men have been levelling and laying down a suitable area of turf. The club will play weekly during the season. The Giraffe is said to be in a sickly, if not precarious state; the knees, which have been disposed to disease for a long time, have become so bad, that this elegant creature is at present obliged almost entirely to confine itself to the incumbent position, and the knees are constantly bathed in salt and water. The long- pending match between the London and Edinburgh chess clubs is still going on. It is about four years since the match was begun, am' i'uur jjames have been played with equal success. The fifth is now playing, and the pieces are reduced to three, and tile lawns to five on each side ; but we understand that the London Club have it in their power to take a bishop without any immediate loss to themselves. In this situ- ation it may be presumed that the fate of the game and match is no longer doubtful. Edinburgh Observer. A short time since two inhabitants of the city of Winchester were entrapped by a common informer : a man purchased from them two bottles of soda water, bearing the proper stamp, which he paid for, and took away. After a few days, to their astonishment, they were apprised that informations had been lodged against them, for omitting to take out a medicine license, and writs were served, demanding the payment of 20/. each into the Exchequer, being the amount of the penalties incurred. Memorials, signed by many of the County and City Magistrates, and other respectable inhabitants, were addressed to the Commissioners of Stamps, and by the interposition of the County and City Representatives the penalties have been remitted. For the information of others, who may be liable to err through Ignorance, it is necessary to state, that in these cases, a stamp only per- mits the sale of soda water consumed on the premises where sold; but when t. i. cn from the house, a medicine license is required. In the Vice- Chancellor's Court, on Friday, in the case of St. John v. Champneys, an application was made by Mr. Sugden for an order to commit Sir Thomas Champneys, Bart, to the Fleet Prison, for contempt, in not delivering to the receiver the possession of a certain estate, pursuant to an order of the Court. The Vice- Chancellor felt that he was bound to make the order for the committal as prayed, leaving it to the parties to act on the order as they might think fit. It was at the same time referred to the Master to consider the propriety ol accenting the defendant as tenant for the mansion- house. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.— The annual meeting of this society was held yesterday at the Free- masons' Tavern. Lord Gambier in the chair. On the platform, near his Lordship, were Lord Bexley, the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Lichfield and Co- ventry, the Bishop of Sodor and Man, Mr. Wilberforce, and several other individuals of rank. After the report had been read, Mr. Wilberforce came forward, and expressed his pleasure at having an oppor- tunity to lift up his voice once more in support of the claims of the society. In the statement just read, he had heard with surprise that it was apprehended that their labours would be contracted by the insufficiency of' their funds. He almost believed that there mnst be an error in the record. It was impossible, in the present state of society, that such an institution could be suffered to decline for want of support and encouragement. The public were mistaken if they conceived that their support of this cause was matter of opinion. It was a duty from which they could not depart consistently with their pro- fession of Christianity. When they should appear before the judgment- seat of Christ, they would gain little by what they so saved in despite of his injunctions. It was to- be lamented that they were so ready to find enjoy- ment in works of fiction, in the perusal of voyages and travels, while they felt so little interest in the progress of truth, and the conversion of their fellow creatures from darkness unto light. Such an abandonment of the cause of Christ was not merely weak, but criminal. Nelson and other illustrious warriors were reported to have been rejoiced in their dying moments by the flight of the enemy. That pleasure was, nevertheless, inferior to the sacred triumph of the labourers in this work, when they should find the spiritual antagonist retreating from the field. To those who were willing to support them, he would say that their sincerity might be judged of by the amount of their contributions, in proportion to the means with which Providence had blessed them. ( Ap- plause.) Mr. Wilberforce concluded by moving, that the report be received. The Rev. W. Dealtry seconded the motion: he desired to offer his congratulations on the progress of the society. It ought to be looked on as a guardian to the country where it flourished, as it was the means of bringing down the blessing of Heaven, and conducing to the national prosperity. When a Christian people favoured such in- stitutions, they might well say, although not in pride or arrogance, that they had a strong city,— they had God for their protector, and needed not other walls or bulwarks. The motion was then carried. The Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, in proposing a vote of thanks to the Bishop of Winchester for his dis- course in aid of the society, said it were to be wished that his Lordship's sermon should be repeated, letter for let- ter, in every parish church throughout the kingdom. The Rev. Henry Budd seconded the motion. The Bishop of Winchester said that it would be unpar- donable in him were he to detain the meeting a moment on any subject but that which had called them together. They were engaged in the great and glorious work of promoting the salvation of the world, and, with the prayers of the righteous, must be successful in such a cause. In some recent letters of one of the greatest orna- ments to his Church, might be found passages which would have the effect of increasing their ardour for pro- selytizing in India, if it wanted any additional induce- ment. He alluded to the late Bishop Heber,— a divine snatched away too soon from the scene of his labours, too soon for the interest of the Christian world, although not too soon for himself. The Hindoos he represented to be vicious, by the operation of their religion. They were taught crime from principle, and had been brought up in the worst of all religions. They shed blood without the slightest repugnance, were incapable of sympathy for any one not belonging to their own caste, and had been perverted to the most hateful abominations by a system of degrading and unnatural superstitions. He would ask, whether there could be a stronger motive for eradicating Indian idolatry ? The journals of this eminent individual, so lately published, were calculated, to promote the interest of Missionaries in the East. He had left behind him a luminous track by which future fellow- labourers might be guided. May God raise up hearts to feel sympathy for the objects of the society, and hands to execute its beneficent designs! With respect to himself, he enjoyed a higher honour than the praise of the respectable individuals before him. He was not in- different to their approbation, but he hail acted with a view only to the glory of God, and the good of mankind. ( Applause ) The Secretary observed, that the present state of the funds was rather attributable to the excess of their expen- diture than to a decrease of contributions. Several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting the secretary announced that he had received 3001/. from the assembly, including 50/. from Mr. Wilberforce. The meeting then separated. Usefulness of Sparrows.— The ignorant have condemned the sparrow as a most noxious bird, fit only to be extirpated; but it has been proved, by the observa- tions of Mr. Bradley, that a pair of sparrows, during the time they had young, carried to the nest forty caterpillars in one hour; and supposing them employed with equal diligence for twelve hours a day, they will, in one week, consume the astonishing number of 3,360 caterpillars. Thus an all- wise Providence checks the inordinate in crease of these destructive insects. Opium has been recently cultivated to a con- siderable extent in England, particularly by a Mr. Young, and Messrs. Cowley and Staines, of Winslow ; and, among physicians and surgeons, the English opium is considered to be superior to the best Turkey and East India opium. Extract from a Meteorological Journal for April, 1828, kept at the Royal Academy, Gosport, Hauts : The first five days of this month were dry and cold ; afterwards it rained more or less every day till the 26th : but the last four days were dry and warm, in which more progress appeared to have been made in the blooming and growth of fruit and vegetation, than during the preceding fortnight. The N. E. and N. W. winds on several days were blighty, the effects of which may be traced in the formation of the young wall- fruit. The 4th and 22d were very cold days, whose maximum tem- perature in the shade was only 46 sec. and 47 degrees, which is three or four degrees colder than some of the hights. The first swallow appeared here in the morning of the 21st, and the nightingale was first heard on the 1 bit inst. The mean temperature of the air this month is l. i de- gree higher than the mean of April fur the last 12 years. On Monday night Mr. Peel introduced two Bills, which were prepared by Lord Lansdowne, during his Secretaryship for the Home Department, and by him conducted through the House of Lords. The first is a Bill to facilitate justice, by an improvement in the law of evidence : the second, to consolidate and amend the statute law of offences against the person. It is of the utmost importance that all men should comprehend the law, which restrains or protects them in their intercourse with each other. The abstruser points of equity and property law are not so intelligible or necessary ; but the knowledge of that we have mentioned is indispensable, and perhaps no part of it is so essential, as that of offences against the person. A simple detail, therefore, of the proposed alteration, will not be out of place. First, as regards the heaviest crime— murder. The law as it stands distinguishes it into two sorts— murder and petty treason. Petty treason is a fiction, drawn from its forced analogy to high treason, which makes murder more heinous, where submission and obedience are due, as in the case of a wife murdering her husband, or a servant his master. The difference in its treatment con- sists in allowing the petty traitor 35 peremptory chal- lenges, and requiring two witnesses to the crime for con- viction ; thus making petty treason more heinous in terms than murder, and more favoured in fact. It is proposed to assimilate them. The second clause proposes that the wilful concealment of murder shall be punishable ; the third, that every assault, which overt acts prove to have been committed with a murderous intent, shall be punished as murder. Lord Ellenborough's Bill includes only the acts of cut- ting and maiming ; and these terms are interpreted to apply only to injuries inflicted by a sharp instrument. There is no moral reason for the distinction; and it is intended to abandon it. One of the most serious clauses is the following The Bill, as it came from Lord Lansdowne's hands, enacted that to take away life in order to prevent a felonv should not be considered murder. Mr. Peel objected to this as throwing too broad a protection over the latitude of resistance to, or interference with, the acts of a felou — and we think justly. Any man of plain sense will see the consequences to which it would lead, if the law granted the license of inflicting summits death upon a person in the act of committing a felony, as if his were 110 better than Vermin ! Mr. Peel proposes to Modify, the clause, and to limit impunity to those cases where death ensues after all other reasonable efforts to prevent the felony, have failed. The other clauses enact that the concealment of a dead infant shall be punishable as well in a married as a single woman ; that abduction for the purpose of defiling or of marriage shall apply not only to the case of heiresses and females possessing property, but to all females whatever; and, that to warrant conviction, it shall no longer be necessary that the abduction and marriage take place in England ; and lastly, that to convict persons charged with the violation of children of tender age, and with unnatural offences, proof shall not be required to be so positive as heretofore, but only such as clearly establishes the design and intent. Such is the outline of this important Bill. We believe, also, that a very useful clause will be added, which gives, under certain restrictions, a jurisdiction to the Magistrate in cases of petty assault, whereby parties aggrieved will not be subject to the inconvenience of ap- pearing at the Sessions.— Courier. ANATOMICAL COMMITTEE.— The committee appointed by the House of Commons to investigate the causes of the difficulties, & c. of supplying the anatomical schools with bodies for dissection, assembled last week, for the purpose of taking the evidence of Sir Astley Cooper, Messrs. Abernethy, Brodie, and Lawrence, all of whom concurred in opinion with regard to the indis- pensible necessity of anatomical knowledge, as acquired by actual dissection. After pointing out the mischief which resulted to society from having surgeons ill- in- formed in anatomy, Sir Astley stated, that as an exa- miner of the College of Surgeons, he had remarked an evident decline in the knowledge of the candidates. The proposed remedies constituted considerable part of the examination of each witness ; and all agreed in the pro- priety of abolishing the dissection of murderers. As no compulsory act can at present be made to compel overseers, churchwardens, & c. to give up the unclaimed bodies of those who die in workhouses, or any eleemosy- nary institutions, it was recommended, that a permissive law should be made to authorize these persons to do so. The room at the British Museum, intended for the reception of the King's Library, is now completed, and presents a coup d'æil of great beauty. Those parts of the walls not occupied by the bookcases are faced with pannels, in imitation of the yellow Sienna marble, re- lieved by large pilasters of real white marble; the centre compartment being adorned with splendid pillars of po- lished granite, surmounted by alabaster capitals of the Corinthian order. The room is 300 feet long, and above 40 broad, and the shelves are calculated to contain, with ease, the 70,000 volumes of which the collection consists. Above this room, and running over that appointed for the preservation of the manuscripts, is a grand gallerv, 500 feet in length, now in progress, and destined for the re- ception of die various specimens of natural history. In the Arches Court a suit of nullity of mar- riage has been promoted by the Committee of the Earl of Portsmouth, under the direction of the Court of Chancery ( in consequence of the verdict in a well- known inquiry under a writ of de lunatico inquirendo, held at the Free- masons' Tavern in 1823), on the ground, that the mar- riage between the Earl & Miss Hanson, on 17th March, 1814, was brought about by fraud, and that his Lordship was of unsound mind. The suit originally commenced in the Consistory Court, in which the libel was admitted without opposition, but an appeal having been asserted from the sentence of the late Judge of that Court in the ulterior proceedings the case was brought into the Arches Court. Last week Dr. Lushington ( with whom was Dr. Pickard) was heard at great length on the behalf of the Committee of Lord Portsmouth ; and Dr. Jenner ( with whom was Dr. Dodson) addressed the Court on the part of Lady Portsmouth, The new Church of St. Peter, lately erected at Brighton, cost 20,365/. 5s. An awfully instructive observation was made by the Earl of Eldon, on a discussion in the Lords on the Test Act Repeal Bill—" The Church," observed his Lordship, " if properly furnished within, might defy all danger from without; but if those who ought to be its pillars are to be mere weights hanging from the roof- dragging down that, which it is their duty to support it must follow the fate of the Brunswick theatre ; and, in that calamity, it will be little consolation that its authors will be the first victims." Mr. P. Macqueen has introduced a Bill into Parliament which will effect an improvement in our sys- tem of Poor Laws, by lessening the expense of litigation on questions of settlement. The object of this Bill is to declare that the birth- place of any pauper shall be his legal place of settlement. The City feasting costs the 50,000 inhabitants of the City 12,000l. a year, or 5 shillings each person ; while the taxation of the United States, on a population of 10 millions, amounts altogether to 10 shillings only Morning Herald. The income of the Corporation and the Com- panies of the city of London is said to be about a million and a half per annum ; that of the Irish Protestant Church is about two millions. Mr. Brougham's Charity Inquiry has already cost the country nearly 140,000/. One of the witnesses in the Penryn disfran- chisement case admitted, that he had seen a cat sold for 40/. during the election; and a canary bird at an equally high price— Sphynx. In the Chinese Chronicle is a curious account of some of the Chinese troops having been disguised as tigers, which, on advancing to the enemy's horse, so frighten d them that they fled!— Query, ' whether our horse would fly under similar circumstances ? March of Gentility.— A match girl whilst vending her ware in Exeter last week, announced her arrival at a house in the Cathedral- yard, with such a rat- tat- tat at the door, as would have done credit to my Lord Mayor's footman ! A yew tree in Aldworth church- yard, Berks, now in a flourishing ,' ate, is said to be 800 years old ; it measures nine yards lour inches round the girth. Extraordinary Genealogy— There is now liv- ing in one house in the parish of Docklow, in this county, the following singular family :— One man and one wife, one widow and one widower, two fathers and three mothers, one father- in- law and one mother- in- law, two grand- fathers and two grand- mothers, one great grand- father and one great grand- mother, four sons and five daughters, three brothers and four sisters, two uncles and two aunts, one nephew and one niece. The above family consists of eleven persons, and only two of them married ! — Cheltenham Chronicle. THE FIELD PREACHER.— A certain celebrated field preacher, well known in the neighbourhood of Wellclose- square, styles himself the successor of Whit - field, and whenever he speaks of him in his sermon, he calls him his great predecessor. He is however superior to any of his predecessors or contemporaries, in adapting his address to his hearers, to temporary circumstances as they occur. A few days since he was preachitig to a very large congregation on Hampstead- heath, in the middle of his discourse the clouds gathered, ard a very heavy shower succeeded : he was bareheaded rnd seemed to pay no kind of attention to the rain, till he saw many of his hearers beginning to depart. He then called out— " Brethren, how refreshing is this shover that the Lord hath sent. What do you think the wilted below ( point- ing to the ground) would give for such a shower ? I am certain you will not fly from a gift of God, that the very Devils envy you the enjoyment of." t had the desired effect, and his hearers were soon piouly wet to the skin. Cutts, the celebrated horse- stealer, now under sentence of transportation in Winchester gaol, having expressed an inclination to expose the whole arcana of his own and his accomplices' career, one if the Police Ma- gistrates has been despatched, by Mr. Peel's direction, to that place, for tlie purpose of oUaining the desired information. Millard, who was convictet of uttering a forged 10/. note of the Bank of England. at Bristol as- size;, underwent the extreme sememe of tlie law at the drop in front of the New Gaol, Bristd, on Friday. It is supposed there were 20,000 persons present at th; ex- ecution. On Thursday the Esk, 20 guns, Capt. Purchas, arrived at Portsmouth from the coast of Africa, having been on that station three years. She left Sierra Leone on 5th Jan. in company with the Sybille, 48, Commodore Collier, and the Black Joke tender, Lieut, Wm. Turner. In running down the coast, they captured a Spanish slave vessel, with 175 negroes on board, which vessel is since arrived at Sierra Leone. They touched at Acra and Cape Coast, and proceeded to the island of Fernando Po, where the Eden, 26, Capt. Owen, Was lying. Colonel Lumley, the lieut.- governor of the coast, was at Accra, and had satisfactorily ascertained that all the inland chieftains, the Ashantees ill particular, were now well disposed towards our settlements ; and the trade with the interior was uninterruptly carried on, as vigorously as ever— The Esk remained some days at Fernando Po, providing wood and water, and rendering assistance to- wards completing the establishment. The natives were very tractable, and had admitted our seamen to visit their huts; they had learnt to trade and barter, giving in ex change vension, sheep, goats, poultry, and golden- breasted pheasants; but the only vegetable they cultivate is the yam, which was very fine. The men of war oil the station were very healthy. The communication between North Devon, South Wales, and Bristol, is now carried on ill a very superior manner by the Palmerston steam- vessel. CASE OF GILLAM, THE MURDERER.— On Sa- turday the Judges sat in the Court of Exchequer Cham- ber, to hear arguments in the case of Richard Gillam, who was convicted of murder at the last Somerset Assizes. Tlie circumstances of the case are fresh in the recollection of our readers. Mr. Moody, on behalf of the prisoner, argued that the conviction was illegal, because it was founded on evidence that could not be legally received. It was the acknow- ledged rule of law that no confession could be received against a prisoner unless it had been marie voluntarily, uninfluenced by threats and promises. In the present case the prisoner had asserted his innocence so long as he retained his self- possession, and had not made the con- fession that was given in evidence against him until he had been practised upon by the Chaplain of the prison, by working both upon his religious anil temporal hopes and feats. It was clear, that the chaplain, acting per- haps with the best motives, bad lent the influence of his sacred character , in aid of the police, with whom he was in constant communication. The learned gentleman cited several cases to prove that a confession made under such circumstances was not admissible evidence ; and en- treated their Lordships to consider what would be the consequence of their deciding that the confession of Gillam was to be received in evidence against him. It would go forth to all the gaols of the kingdom, that if any of their unhappy inmates were to accept of the pious services of the clergyman, the probable consequence would be, that he would so work on their religious feelings, anil the ago- nised state of their minds, as to induce them to make a confession that should afterwards be given in evidence against them : they would consider sending for the cler- gyman the same thing as delivering themselves up to the executioner ; and those persons who stood most in need of religious consolation would be totally deprived of its blessings. The learned gentleman having concluded, the farther hearing was postponed to Saturday next, when Mr. Fol- lett, on the part of the prosecution, will be heard in reply. A sudden anil severe storm passed over Not- tingham on the forenoon of Sunday, about half- past ten o'clock, There were not more than five or six claps of thunder; but the lighting was extremely vivid, and the concussion so severe, that the houses shook from their foundations. A boat lying at Simpson's wharf, in the canal, was struck ; the lightning passing through a stout beam close to the head of a man who was lying on the deck ; his arm, being placed above his head, was com- pletely benumbed. A large house on Standard- hill, was also struck by the electric fluid, which dislodged part of the roof, ran down the chimney flue, and stunned the servant girl, who was standing washing some glasses, which were shattered to pieces. The rain descended in torrents, and the waters rushed with tremendous force down the steep streets. In the course of a few minutes, the ground- floors of several houses in Gray- friars Gate were two or three feet under water. In one' house some children had been left alone by their parents, and, but for the timely assistance of the neighbours, would most probably have been drowned. Cause and Cure of Stammering. Dr. M'Cor- mac, a talented and ingenious physician of Belfast, is about to publish an essay on the causa and cure of stam- mering, which he has discovered. His treatment of this affliction has been invariably successful ; and the simpli- city of the theory, whilst it is confirmatory of its truth, makes us wonder that the real nature of the complaint has been so 1 - g unknown. Stammering is caused by at- tempting to speak when the lungs are void, or nearly void of air. Let any one try to articulate under such circum- stances, and he will find the effort followed hy those con- vulsive strainings and contortions that attend upon habi- tual stammering. The cure is performed by directing the person to breathe out, or expire, with all his force, whilst he pronounces the letters of the alphabet, or simi- lar sounds, slowly and one by one. From this he pro- ceeds to simple words, then short sentences, then those that are complex, always following the same plan. The time required for completing the cure is of course propor- tioned lo the inveteracy of the habit. Simple as this theory and the remedy appear, they have never been put in print before. As very great benefit must accrue from the publication, the ingenious discoverer is entitled to high credit for thus preferring public duty to motives of private emolument London Weekly Review. Caution to Persons leaving open their Street Doors— On Thursday last, the door of a house in the High- street, Southampton, being left open, while tlie family were at dinner, a great coat, hanging in the pas- sage, was stolen, together with a hat, for which, the thief politely exchanged one which had seen better days, and ill which, was written " William Duel-, 1826." CORN- EXCHANGE, May 7.- The business trans- acted in our market this morning was altogether so trifling, that prices must be quoted nominally as on Monday, for those were what the factors demanded, and obtained for the few sales that were effected, in fine Wheat, Barley, and Oats; of the latter article the stands appeared covered.

Dr. SYDENHAM's ANTIBILLOUS, or FAMILY PILLS— These Pills ( Entirely Ve- getable) are unrivalled in Bilious and Liver Complaints, Indigestion, Flatulencies, Habitual Costiveness, Spasms, Nervous Head- Aches, & c., Mild, yet effectual in their operation, without mercury or mineral, and requiring no restraint in diet or confinement during their use, possess- ing the power to clear the intestines of the bile which may be acting offensively to them, at the same time correcting and improving the secretion, without increasing the quan- tity secreted. Females find the occasional use of them materially beneficial to their general health, as tlicir purely Vegetable composition is not likely to disagree with the most delicately constituted stomach. Nothing can show their superiority more than the approval of Families of distinction, as well as the Public and Medical men in present practice. ( See the opinion of an eminent Physi- cian practising extensivily at Clitton and Bristol, on the wrapper surrounding each box of Pills.) And the in- creasing sale of Sydenham's Antibilious Pills, prove them the most valuable, safe, and effectual Medicine extant. Persons of either sex going to or residing in hot climates, those leading sedentary lives, and Commercial Gentle- men, will find them a certain assistant to repel the attacks of disease arising fr. m neglect, intemperance, the want < u excrcise, or the effects of climate. One Pill taken at the hour of dinner, is admirably calculated lo assist digestion, correct excesses of the table, and give a healthy action tu the stomach. Sold by the proprietor, J.

THURSDAY, Mai/ 6 On the motion of the Marquis of Salisbury a return of the quantity of wool exported since 1801 was ordered The examination of the witnesses oil the Penryn Disfranchisement Bill was resumed— Adj. HOUSE or COMMONS. WEDNESDAY. May 7 Mr. Bankes moved the 3d reading of the Cranborne Chase Disfranchisement Bill. Mr. Portman look this opportunity of expressing the gratitude which he, in common with a large body of landowners in Dorsetshire, felt to a noble Lord ( Rivers), for enabling this bill to pass into a law ; that noble Lord bad sacrificed the most noble feather of the plume of honour which he bears, and such a one as no other sub- ject could boast, for the sake of facilitating the cultiva- tion and improvement of a large tract of land, and espe- cially to remove a fertile source of crime, and thereby to improve the morality of the poor in the Chase. Mr. Portman felt proud of having two such constituents as Mr. Browne and Lord Rivers, who, had in this Session so proved their liberality and regard for the welfare of their native county. , Numerous petitions were presented for and against the Catholic claims. Numerous petitions w< jre also presented against the Friendly Societies Bill. The Corn Hill was read a first time. The other orders of the day were disposed of.— Adj. THURSDAY, May 8 The House was occupied two hours in healing petitions from Ireland, in favour of the Catholic claims. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice, that on Monday he should propose the Pension Act to be taken into consideration, and that his Majesty's Ministers in- tended to introduce a clause providing for the family of the late Mr. Canning. ( Hear.) Lord J. Russell inquired when the Royal assent would be given to the Corporation and Test Acts, if it would be g- iven at all. Mr. Herries said he was unable to answer the question. Sir F. Burdett rose to bring forward his motion on tile Catholic claims. After noticing the difficulties under which he laboured, in following the great men who had preceded him in the same course, tile hon. Baronet pro- nounced a warm panegyric on the character of Mr. Can- ning, whose loss he sincerely deplored, and said he de- rived satisfaction from the circumstance that no opposition he had ever offered to him had kept him from doing jus- tice to his high talents. In bringing forward the question, Sir Francis said he was influenced by the same principles and views, and he should propose to the House a Resolu- tion, similar to what Mr. Canning had moved, and which had met the support of a large majority of the House. His wish, as that of Mr. Canning, in calling on the House lo adopt the Resolution, was to place the Church of England on a more secure basis than it had hitherto stood— One of the points which he wished to make out was, that faith had been broken with the Catholics by the non- fulfilment of the Treaty of Limerick, and that the Catholics claimed nothing that that treaty did not guaranty; his second object was to shew, that the pledges of the Union had not been fulfilled, because, had an in- dependent Parliament still existed in Ireland, there was no doubt that the claims would ere this have been granted. Into each of these considerations Sir Francis went at great length, and concluded a long and eloquent speech, not unworthy of his best and most brilliant days, and in the course of which he was much cheered, by moving that the House should resolve itself into a Committee to take into consideration the state of the laws affecting the Ro- man Catholics of Great Britain and Ireland. Mr. Brougham seconded the motion. The Solicitor- Gcneral said he expected an attempt would have been made to shew that some change had taken place in the opinions, doctrines, and acts, of the Roman Catholics, with a view to induce the House to ac- cede to the motion. The Hon. Baronet, by proposing lio security, would leave the Catholics, unrestricted by nny tie, to net in the way their priests might direct them. The learned gentleman then went on to answer the ar. guments derived from the Treaty of Limerick. He con- tended that the treaty did not comprehend all Catholics, but only Catholics specially connected with the City; and so far from the Oath of Supremacy being dispensed with, by the treaty, to" all Catholics, there were Acts which, at that very period, required that oath. He ridiculed also any argument from a treaty made 130 years ago as appli- cable to the present times, without reference to what had happened since ; and particularly noticed that this ques- tion had never been raised in Ireland. The learned gen- tleman contended, that the Roman Catholics required not only more than they ever had during any part of the his- tory of the country, but more than they enjoyed in any country in Europe, Catholic or not. He concluded by opposing the motion. Mr. Percival supported the motion, and in doing so declared himself a convert to the views of its hon. mover. He had doubted whether it was proper to grant the Catholic Claims when he entered Parliament, but he now was convinced of its propriety. In doing this, he was a most determined enemy to the Roman Catholic religion, • which he thought a foul pollution of the Word of God, but controuled, and mitigated, and subdued, by the Protestanism around her. Mr. M. Fitzgerald denied that the benefits of the Treaty of Limerick were so limited as the Solicitor- Gene- ral supposed, and contended that at the Union, a distinct pledge had been given, not only by Mr. Pitt, but by all the Ministers of the day, that Catholic Emancipation should be granted. Mr. Geo. Moore opposed the Committee. He read a passage from one of Mr. Pitt's speeches in 1805, in which he declared that he had given no pledge on the subject. Mr. Doherty, Solicitor- General for Ireland, expressed himself anxious that the question should be set at rest. Bearing in mind that no fundamental principle of the Constitution would be violated by the proposed course, lie should vote for the Committee. Lord F. Gower said, he looked on the question as one affecting the interests of the empire from its centre to its circumference; it was on the principle of expediency that iie should consider the question, and on that principle he Tccommended the adoption of the Hon, Baronet's motion. To those who anticipated any danger from Catholic Members in the House, he could only say, that he would rattier hear their arguments there than in the Catholic Association. It was impossible to put down tile question ; and he contended that the only subject for consideration at all was, therefore, the propriety of granting the claims now or at a future period. At the conclusion of Lord Francis's speech, the cries of " Adjourn" became general ; and tile farther debate on the motion was in consequence postponed till to- mor row ( this day).— Adjourned. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 9. His Majesty will Rive a hall on the 15th in- stant, at his Palace in St. James's, to the juvenile tranches of the nobility and gentry. The Kins held a Court on Wednesday at St. James's; and afterwards a Privy Council, when the Re- corder of London reported to his Majesty the convicts capitally convicted at the Old Bailey sessions. The Royal Assent will lie given this day by Commission, to twenty- six Public and Private Bills, one of which is that" for the repeal of the Test and Corpora- tion Acts." The Duke of Cumberland and Duchess of Gloucester visited his Majesty yesterday. The Duke of Sussex was a little belter yes- terday. The Princess Augusta is now sufficiently re covered to take daily airings in her carriage. It is stated that the Recent, of 100 guns, is getting ready for the Duke of Clarence to hoist hi. flag in, to pay a visit to Ireland.

It is reported that Sir James Kempt, Gover- nor of Halifax, will succeed the Earl of Dalhousie as Governor of Lower Canada. It is understood that several divisions have taken place in the Finance Committee, on the expediency of reducing the expellees of various public establishments. The anniversary of the Sons of the Clergy took place yesterday in St. Paul's Cathedral. The Duchess of Clarence was present, and seemed much articled by the grandeur of the scene. The friends of the institution, to the number of 300, including the Duke of Gloucester, the Archbishop of York, eleven Bishops, the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, nine Aldermen, live Judges, and a long list of noblemen, afterwards dined at Stationers' Hall. The subscriptions and dona- tions amounted to U71'- 2s. 6d. A violent thunder storm passed over the metropolis on Tuesday, which extended its terrific influ- ence for many miles round. Several chimneys were struck down, and at Canterbury the houses in Northgate and Orange- street were completely flooded. Considerable damage was done to the young hop shoots ; and apple, cherry, and indeed most fruit trees budding into existence, suffered considerably. On Monday a gentleman's pocket was picked in the hall of the Four- Courts, Dublin, of government debentures, amounting to three thousand pounds, with a number of bank- notes to a large sum. WILLIAM CORDER.— The wife of this young man continues to visit him daily at the gaol. The inter- view, which lasts only ten minutes, is in the presence of a third person ; and, according to tile rules of the prison, they are obliged to converse at a distance of full five or six feet from eacli other. The visitor is admitted into the turnkey's room, across which is a bar, at the above- stated distance from a window outside of which the pri- soner is pl:^ ' d. This precaution is considered strictly necessary, and is observed with all prisoners and their friends, in order to prevent any conveyance of instru- ments, & c. The prisoner conducts himself very deco- rously, and is generally observed with a religious book in his hand. His wife expresses on all occasions the greatest anxiety to administer to his comfort; and is, indeed, unceasing in this respect. The statements which have appeared in this and the London papers, Mrs. Corder still treats as calumnies, and expresses herself convinced of his innocence of the mur- der. She has taken lodgings in this town, and is a re- gular attendant at one of our Churches, where prayers are read daily. It is not true that Corder has solemnly protested his innocence of the murder— Suffolk Herald. The name of the lady whom Corder married subsequently to the perpetration of the murder is Moore. About seven or eight months since she brought an action against a gentleman in the Court of King's Bench, and obtained damages to the amount of five hundred pounds for a breach of promise of marriage. APPRREHENSION OF WM. WATT.— This per- son, accused of robbing his master to a great amount, and for whose apprehension a reward of 100 guineas had been offered, was, on the 27th ult. taken into custody here by Mr. Forrester, city officer, Mansion House, London ; and on Monday morning, Mr. F. set off to London with his prisoner. This unfortunate young man is only about 23 years of age. He was for some time a clerk to a writer to the Signet, but having committed a fraud on his mas- ter, be was indicted to stand trial before the High Court of Justiciary, when he absconded, and was, upon the 14th Feb. 1826, outlawed in the usual form. Some time after this lie repaired to London, and through the interest of a person who had seen him in Edinburgh, procured a situation in a most respectable house in the city, in which upwards of one hundred young men were employed. Here he shewed uncommon talents, industry, and so- briety, and was raised to the most confidential situation; but he had from time to time contrived to purloin from his master, by the most ingenious means, considerable sums. The discovery, however, of one fraud led to investigation, and disclosed others. He then absconded, and hid himself about London for some time. On the twenty- second day of April, he arrived in Edinburgh, where he passed as Captain Williams. The better to disguise himself he allowed his hair and whiskers to grow bushy and had adopted mustachios— His appre- hension was well managed. Forrester had obtained infor- mation that Watt had written a letter to a young woman in London, under the name of Williams, desiring her to come to Leith by the first smack, and on her ar- rival to call at the Post Office in Edinburgh, where she would receive a letter, directing her how to proceed. The officer went on board the smack at the Wharf on the 23th ult. under pretencc of taking a birth to Leith, and soon learned what ladies were on board; and in par- ticular saw Mrs. Williams, whose luggage he noticed : on the same evening he left London by the mail, and arrived in Edinburgh on Saturday evening; he was at the ship's side as soon as it reached the harbour next forenoon, and traced the woman to lodgings. Having deposited her luggage she went to the Post- office, flffere she received a letter addressed as before stated. She then took a circuitous route, and passed along Rose- street till she came to No. 121, which she entered, but not till she had looked round to see if she was unobserved. A strict watch was set on the house; the officer then returned to her lodgings to ascertain regarding her luggage; and on pretence of inquiring for lodgings contrived to enter her room, and thereby saw the luggage. He was soon in- formed by one ot his scouts that she had left the house in Rose- street, and was in Prince's- street, coming to- wards him, arm and arm with a young man having the appearance of an officer of Hussars. This exactly answered the description he had got of Watt. He immediately went out and met them, nnd allowing them to pass, keeping close behind till he saw a proper opportunity, he pounced upon the Hussar, whom he col- lared, telling him he was his prisoner. A violent struggle ensued; a crowd gathered; a police officer then came, lent his assistance, and Watt was carried to the police office where, among other things, was found on him the letter tile lady had received at the Post- office. On Monday morning Forrester and his prisoner set off for London by the mail. The young woman, who we under- stand is a native of Paisley or Greenock, and whose attachment to Watt induced her to follow him, fell into hysteric fits on his apprehension : she had in her possession a number of valuables, and among the rest a silver tea equipage. It is said that after Watt absconded, 7001. were found in his trunk Edinburgh paper. Breeding of Live Stock.— Some interesting experiments have lately been made in France on the breeding of Live Stock, by M. Charles Girou, who pro- posed, at a meeting of the Agricultural Society of Se- verac, to divide a flock of sheep into two equal parts, so that a greater number of males or females, at the choice of the proprietor, should be produced from each of them. Two members of the society having offered their flocks to become the subjects of his experiment, M. Girou recom- mended that very young rams should be put to the flock of ewes from which the proprietor wished the greater number of females in their offspring; and also that dur- ing the season when the rams were with the ewes, they should have more abundant pasture than the other: while, to the flock from which the proprietor wished to obtain male lambs chiefly, lie recommended him to put strong rams four or five years old. The result of this experiment was, that the flock for female lambs produced 53 males and 84 females, while the flock for male lambs produced 80 males and 55 females— Besides this very decisive experiment, M. Girou related some others, made with horses and cattle, in which his success in producing a greater number of one sex rather than another was made evident. The general law of nature seems to be, that, when animals are in good condition, plentifully supplied with food, they are most likely to produce females. Or, in other words, when a race of animals is in circum- stances favourable for its increase, nature produces the greatest number of that sex which is most efficient for in- creasing the numbers of the race: but, if they are in a bad climate, or on stinted pasture, or, if they have al- ready given birth to a numerous offspring, then nature? setting limits to the increase of the race, produces more males than females. To preserve Turnips from the Fly — When two kinds of turnip are sown in the same field, those which arc the most tender and succulent will chiefly suffer from the fly. A like distinction will be observed, if only one kind be sown, but the seal unequally scattered; those plants that rise in clusters, protect one another from the sun and air, and offer a more agreeable food to the fly than those which come up at greater respective dis- tances. Reasoning from these well known facts, Mr. Poppy ( to whom the Society for encouraging Arts voted the Ceres Gold Medal for the discovery), was induced to drill four acres, employing one pint of Swedish turnip seed per acre for those rows intended to stand for a crop, and half a peck of common turnip seed on the rows alter- nating with the former, and intended to attract the fly from them. The result was, that the thin sown Swedish turnips were not sensibly injured by the fly, while the thick sown ones were quite black with the insect. After the Swedish turnips had got into the rough leaf, the danger from the fly being over, the rows of common turnips were ploughed up, and the crop being afterwards managed in the usual way, turned out very good, whilst all the other turnips in the parish, sown in the usual manner, totally failed. Another similar experiment was made in the neighbourhood of Blandford, in Dorset- shire, the result of which was, the only good crop of turnips obtained in that part of the country. It appears that an experiment lately tried in Spain, and in some parts of the Mediterranean, to intro- duce the Cochineal insect, promises to be attended with the desired result in some of the provinces of Spain, at Gibraltar, and at Malta. The Indian fig is of natural growth under the climate of those countries, and being the only food of the insect in question, originally sug- gested the ides of its importation. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.— Mr. Myles, of the Red Lion inn, Lacock, Wilts, has a cat and a young chicken, which feed together. The cat pays the chicken as much attention as if it were its kitten; and on the approach of a dog, will take it up in its mouth aad carry it off ! CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.— A couple of robins, which hail obtained access to the interior of Lacock Church, Wilts, lately took the liberty, between two Sundays, to build theirr. est upon the Clergyman's Prayer Book, whence it was detached bv the sexton. The birds, however, took to the singing gallery, and by the follow- ing Sunday had their nest completely finished upon the music books belonging to the choir. The hen bird de- posited her eggs in that situation ; nnd during the period of incubation sat, during theperformance of divine service on two Sundays, undisturbed nnd undismayed, although the knees of the nearest singers were within 18 inches of her! Her progeny, thus ushered into existence in so extraordinary a situation, have done well; and after be- coming fully fledged, they have been taken possession of by some respectable people in the parish, in whose hands the young birds now arc. A curious discovery was made a few days since by some persons occupied in turning up a field near Lillington, in the county of Dorset. Twelve skeletons were found, within a space of about six yards, in the middle of the field, and not more than a foot below the surface; each was deposited about two feet apart from the rest, and surrounded by drain stones from six to nine inches. The field where these relics were discovered be- longs to Robert Gordon, Esq. M. P., of Leweston- House : they will, it is expected, afford an interesting subject of speculation to the antiquarian. Among the patents lately granted is one to Messrs. Baker and Co. of Batheaston, for an improved method of winding silk, by which a saying of 700 per cent, in labour is effected. ASTRONOMY.— One of the most beautiful objects in the heavens at the present season is the noble planet Jupiter, which is to be seen during the whole of the night, as he is in that part of the orbit which is nearest the earth. THEROYAL YACHT CLUB.— The members of this distfcuished club will follow up the delightful pur- suits forhich it was formed, with more spirit than usual in the miing season. All the yachts are now being fitted onwith the utmost dispatch, and it is said that the first tri] of the fleet will be to Ireland, whither the metribei have determined to accompany his Royal High- ness the. ord High Admiral on liis visit to the Marquis of Anghea, uoon his assuming the Vice- Royalty. This voyage efformed, the club will be engaged in pleasura- ble tripsto various parts of the Continent, and in trials of the sped of the respective vessels, preparatory to the grand legattis; which, at the proper time, will take place oi various parts of the coast. Tile Falcon ship yacht, belonging to Lord Yarborough ; the Scorpion cutter, 12 tons, the Hoh. Captain Greville ; Sir T. A. Smith's Menai, 191 tons ( considered one of the finest cutters iver built); the Cocquette brig yacht— are all ready fir sea, and have made one or two experimental cruises, The Earl of Belfast has a fine cutter of 131) tons binding at Cowes ; and West, Esq. has another of 113 tins, nearly finished, at Lymington, built upon the sani: plan of Sir R. Sepping's experimental vessels— The Earl of Belfast, as well as others of the most com petent jidges, are confident in their anticipation that his Lordshij's new cutter will carry all before her, and she is alreaiV named as the favourite for the Champion Cup, to be saled for at the Isle of Wight in the summer. Mr. Wilde, a very distinguished member of the Club, has, howevet, a cutter of the first class nearly finished, built after tht plan of the Pearl, belonging to the Marquis of Anglesea, which has generally been deemed the fastest sailing vessel in the Royal Yacht Club, and he is equally sanguine inhis anticipations of her superiority over every competitor. The matches, of which there will be several, between these two vessels, will excite great interest. The genial weather experienced during the last few days will prove of incalculable benefit to the various crops, but more especially to the wheats, which, particularly upon cold lands, had assumed a very sickly appearance in consequence of the previous chilly weather and excessive rain. The anniversary meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held on Wednesday at the Freemasons' Tavern. Among the distinguished person- ages present were the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Bexley, Lord Teignmoutli, Lord Calthorpe, Lord Gambier, the Bishops of Winchester, Litchfield, and Sodorand Mann. Mr. Wilberforce, Fowell Buxton, Esq., the Hon. and Rev. Gerard Noel, & c. The chair was taken by Lord Teignmouth. The report stated that the number of Bibles distributed this year by the Society were 137,1( 52, and of Testaments 199,108. The expenditure of last year was C9,062/„ and this year it amounted to 86,2422. The anniversary dinner of the Governors and Friends of the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, took place on Wednesday at the City of London Tavern, the Duke of Gloucester, Patron of the Institution, in the chair. The company consisted of about 200 gentlemen. His Royal Highness was supported on his right by the Bishop of Winchester, nnd on his left by Lord Dundas. In the course of the evening several of the children sup- ported by the Institution were introduced, holding in their hands books, in which were contained specimens of their writing, and his Royal Highness expressed him- self much pleased with the gratifying appearance which they afforded. Mr. O'Connell lias a son in the Austrian service, who not long since got his second Lieutenancy, and an exploit which he performed has given him pro- motion, antedated six or seven years. The banditti in Hungary have been making dreadful attacks, and had become so very insolent, that a member of the Royal Family was attacked and nearly murdered by them. A large force of bandits marched against'a village in which young O'Connell's troop of Hussars was quartered ; and, having destroyed some of the inhabitants, set lire to their dwellings. The Hussars were ordered out, and a despe- rate conflict ensured. . Morgan O'Connell was the first to break through the ranks of the banditti, and he cut down two of them, and finally succeeded ill making the Captain a prisoner, and the banditti retreated. The General commanding made O'Connell a First Lieutenant on the spot, and the exploit has secured for him the future patronage of the Emperor. A curious policy of insurance was introduced on Monday at Lloyd's,— the parties paying down five guineas to receive one hundred in case a declaration of war be issued between France and England on or before 1st May, 1829. A considerable sum has been effected on this extraordinary adventure. At Chester races on Monday, the Grosvenor Stakes were won by Sir T. Stanley's Joceline, beating Mr. Giftard's Othello, Lord Grosvenor's Burlesque, and and Lord Derby's Murillo. The late Thos. Parker, Esq. of Warwick Hall, Cumberland, has left 500/. each to the Manchester Infirmary, Stockport Dispensary, Bible Society, Church Missionary Society, and Wesleyan Methodist Society ; also 1000/. vested in six trustees, for the purpose of as- sisting in the establishment of a public Infirmary in Carlisle. Test and Corporation Acts.— It is said that the Rev. Edward Irving, the celebrated Minister of the Scotch Church in London, has recently addressed an elaborate letter to the King, on the subject of the repeal of the. Test and Corporation Acts, and entreating his Majesty to withhold the Royal assent thereto. At the King's Council on Wednesday, the Recorder reported thirty- four prisoners under sentence of death in Newgate, all of whom were respited during the Royal pleasure, except— Russell Brown, for highway robbery ; John Roberts, for stealing in a dwelling- house ; Charles Smith alias David Eastwood, for forgery ; Ham- bry Price, for coining; John Baker, for horse- stealing ; and John Brown, for burglary; who are ordered for exe- tion on Tuesday next. There is no likelihood of those long- talked of vehicles, steam coaches, being started for public convey- ance on this side Midsummer. The complexity of the machinery is now found to be such, in Older to meet the several exigencies of ascending and descending hills, that if the scheme is not for the present abandoned, it is cer- tainly in abeyance. The application of windmills to ships' pumps was proved to be essentially useful in a recent instance: the brig Hannah. Bartlett, master, of Plymouth, leaked very much during her voyage, and her hands being nearly exhausted, she would soon have filled, had not the Cap- tain attached a windmill to the pump, which had the desired effect: when blowing fresh, the mill pumped 2481 strokes per hour. WELLS, May 6.— Judgment of Ouster has been obtained in the Court of King's Bench, against Edw. Spencer, Esq. for haying usurped the office of Mayor for the city of Wells, in consequence of an undue election to that office; and a Writ of Mandamus has accordingly been issued to elect a mayor for the city on Tuesday next. The counterpane which covered the bed of Charles 1st, the night before his execution, and which is made of a thick rich blue satin, embroidered with gold and silver in a deep border, has continued to be used by the family of Champneys, of Orchardleigh, near Frome, Somersetshire, as a christening mantle, from the period it came into their possession, by marriage with the sole heiress of the Chandlers, of Camm's Hall, near Fareham, Hampshire; a family connected with Cromwell. The sword- belt of the unfortunate King is likewise at Orchard- leigh House— Crypt. EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.— Colonel Emmcrick, a sportsman and a soldier, being pursued by a party of light horse, when going with despatches from his com- mander- in- chief, the late Duke of Brunswick, rather than surrender, ieaped a precipice with his horse of 3fi feet fall, without receiving any injury, and continued his route. In commemoration of this bold and gallant daring, his statue, on his steed, was erected on the spot, at Brucksel, in Germany, a monument of his zeal and intrepidity.— Annals of Sporting. FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Sunday morning, as Russell and Co.' s waggon was descending Thorncombe Hill, between Whitchurch and Blandford, the driver, Wm. Porton, omitted to put on the drag chain, in conse- quence of which the waggon went rapidly down the hill, and the man, endeavouring to stop the horses, fell down, and the wheel went over his head, which crushed it to atoms. The deceased was a single man, about 30 years of age, a native of Salisbury : lie was not the regulat waggoner, but occasionally employed. The body was removed to Charlton Church ; a coroner's inquest was held on Monday, and a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. DIED.] In Great Pulteney- street, Bath, John Mer- vin Nooth, M.

MESSRS. BRODIE & DOWDING are the AGENTS at SALISBURY for DOCTOR GREEN'S celebrated ROYAL ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS. The exceeding great success of these Drops have gained for them the celebrity of being the greatest and most efficacious Antiscorbutic and Purifier of the Blood that ever was discovered ; they have restored so many thousands of persons to the enjoyment and bles- sing of health, in the southern and western counties, to which they have been hitherto chiefly confined, that all parts of the Empire are now making increasing de- mand for this Great Restorative of Human Nature ; and its success in the north of England has now become manifest in an eminent degree. These justly celebrated Antiscorbutic Drops are en- riched with every improvement that a long experience could advise, and that the increase of medical knowledge can suggest; assisted by an intent study of the causes and progress of those disorders for which they are recom- mended, and hence the happy results which daily occur, that these inestimable Drops are considered a blessing to mankind. The marriage life will find in this medicine a safe and the only specific remedy against abortion ; and, by being taken during pregnancy, the parent will be blessed with living and healthy children; and the afflicted, the most safe and efficacious Antiscorbutic, and purifier of the blood, that ever was discovered. To the public in general these Drops are invaluable; they re- move debility, invigorate and renew the constitution, increase the appetite, and excite to activity and keenness. — Were every person to take only one small bottle of these Drops every spring and autumn, they would find their constitution become so wholesome, and the whole system so revived and refreshed by the purification of the blood, that good health would be permanent, anil lassi- tude and disease finally removed. These Drops may be taken with perfect Safety, either by infants or grown persons, without confinement or hindrance to business, which is a particular advantage. The public are parti- cularly requested to ask for Dr. Green's Royal Anti- scorbutic Drops, consequently any attempt to impose a spurious article for the genuine Medicine, may be de- tected. Dr. Green's Drops are sold only at respectable shops, and not by any persons travelling, for such venders are generally impostors Sold in bottles at 6s. lid., lis., and 1/. 2s., with directions, and a number of ex- traordinary cures effected. The Agents are— Messrs. Butler, Sainsbury, and Co. 2, Paternoster- row ; Messrs. Barclay and Sons, 95, Fleet Market ; Messrs. W. Sutton and Co. Bow Church Yard, London ; and Messrs. Brodie and Dowding, Printers, Salisbury. [ 15C4 DR. JAMES'S POWDER.

A most respectable party of gentlemen ( in number about 50) met together at the White Horse Inn, Romsey, on Thursday last, to coninieinoratc by a public dinner the alteration of the market day of that town from Saturday to Thursday, a measure which has proved fcithiy bfn » ticial to the agricultural and commercial in- wests of Romey and its heighbourhood. James Al- dridge, Esq. presided, and mirth, harmony, ant. good humour prevails throughout the evening. His Ma- jesty's health was drunk with 4 times 4, and the other loyal and accustomed toasts having been given, the worthy Chairman proposed " Success to Romsey Market," which was drunk with acclamation ; and the hilarity of the evening was greatly promoted by the good singing of several of the company The room was most tastefully litted up for the occasion, and the whole arrangements reflect the highest credit on Mrs. Bell, tile hostess. The dinner included every delicacy of the season, and the dessert and wines were excellent— It is intended that a similar dinner should take place annually.

The following inquests have been taken by Mr. Todd during the present week. At Brockenhurst, on the body of John Prince, who died suddenly, in a state of intoxication, at a public, house in the village : it appeared that he had a scuffle with a young man about ten minutes before he expired, and at the moment of his death, he fell down and struck his head with considerable violence against a door_: On examination by a surgeon, a considerable extravasation of blood was found upon the brain, such as is usual in cases of apoplexy ; but it was impossible under the evidence, to ascertain any definite cause for such extravasation, much less to come to a conclusion tending to criminate any individual. The jury therefore returned a special verdict according to the circumstances. At Romsey, on the body of Thomas Rose, who was killed by a fall from a elm tree, which he was shrouding, when the branch on which he sat gave way beneath him. Verdict, " Accidental Death." At Whitchurch, on the body of a lad named Samuel Dixon, who was run over by a roller, the horses having taken fright.

The fair was very fully attended with visitants, and greatly enlivened by the strains of the band attached to the menagerie of beasts. Thursday was married at St Mary's Church, by the Rev. Samuel Kent, Mr. Wm. Cooper, sergeant at mace, to Mrs. Pettit, of this town.

NEWPORT, May 8 At a petty sessions held at our Guildhall on Saturday last, Jacob Norris and Wm. Cotton, the former of whom was the carter, and the latter a labourer working in the mill of Mr. Hardley, of West Mill, near this town, were committed to Winchester Bridewell for trial at the ensuing sessions^ for stealing flour from their master. Mr. Hardley having for a long time past had reason to suspect that considerable quanti- ties of flour were stolen from his mill, communicated his suspicion to a confidential servant, and ordered him to keep a sharp look out. Late in the evening of the pre- ceding Saturday, Mr. Hardley was called from our market, and informed that one of his sacks, with a quan- tity of flour in it, was hid under some straw in his stable, upon which he secreted himself near the stable, and shortly after saw Norris come into the yard, go into the stable, and bring out the sack, with which he was pro- ceeding to his own house, when he was stopped by Mr. H. and commanded to follow him with the sack and flour to the house of Sir Richard Bassett, one of our magistrates, which he did, the distance being nearly half a mile, and was thereupon committed to our bridewell for further examination. Cotton's house was afterwards searched, and a considerable quantity of flour, which lie was unable to account for, was found in a sack which hail recently been taken from Mr. Hardley's mill. The plea of poverty, which is frequently reso^'- d to by thieves, can- not avail on this occasion, as both ' orris and Cotton hud constant employ, and wages quite sufficient to enable them to live very comfortably. About eleven o'clock on last Saturday night, John Low ( who is lately returned from Winchester gaol for smuggling) and James Bramble were stopped, arrested, and detained by Messrs. Stillborne and Johnson, officers of excise, near Pan Farm, for carrying and conveying a cask of foreign brandy, and lodged in our bridewell, in order to their being tried for the offence. A petition to Parliament against Mr. Courtney's bill for regulating Friendly Societies was sent from this town last week to Sir Francis Burdett, who had kindly offered to present it, signed by the members of the societies in this island. This bill is so highly objectionable, that should it pass into a law, there is not the least doubt but that it will occasion the dissolution of all those very desirable institutions, and tend very materially to increase the poor rates of the country.

WILTSHIRE SOCIETY.- ONThursday the 12th anniversary of this excellent county institution was cele- brated at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate, the Earl of Suffolk in the chair. The company was numerous and highly respectable, and the dinner was served up in the best style; consisting of every delicacy which the season afforded. Among those present were the Duke of So- merset, Sir John Dugdale Astley, Bart. M. P.; John Benett, Esq. M. P.: Geo. Watson Taylor, Esq. M. P.; Joseph Pitt, Esq. M. P.; Robt. Gordon, Esq. M. P.; Wadham Wyndham, Esq. M. P.: John Pearse, Esq. M P.; Colonel Wroughton ( High Sheriff of the County), &. c. & c, & c. After the cloth Was removed, Non Nobis Domine was sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Taylor, Collier, & c. The chairman then said, " Gentlemen the toast I am now about to propo e Is one which will be oil all occasions drank with that affectionate demonstration of loyalty to which it is entitled, but on the present it will be drank with peculiar satisfaction* as it must be said of the sove- reign who dignifies our throne, that whether in the en- couragement of the arts, the protection of industry, or the relief of the poor, his heart and hand are oncn."— The health of the King was then drank, with 3 times 3 Song,— God save the King. The chairman in proposing the next toast observed, that when last he had the honor, it he remembered righty, of being there, the next toast that was usual to propose was the Duke of York and the Army, He was contident that die deepest regret was felt at being obliged to deviate from it on the present occasion, for it must be fallowed that there was no man more universally beloved than he was. And what diflcieuce of opinion that prince might have cntwUiaal upon other subjects, yet no one could doubt the sincerity of his zeal, ability, persevere- ance, arid attention in promoting the cause of charity. ( Cheers.) lie therefore should give " the Duke of Clarence and the Navy," who he was proud to say ma- nifested equal zeal as that of any of his royal brothers, lie concluded by giving the Duke of Clarence and Navy 3 times 3— Song,— Rule Britania. The Chairman, in proposing the health of the rest of Royal Family, observed that it was a great satisfaction that their Princes lived amongst them, for there was scarce a charity that at one time or another could not boast of having one of them as a President. Though he had not the honor of knowing his late lamented Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, yet he unde stood that lie was the best President that could be, and we need not allude to the energy and zeal manifested by the Duke of Sussex in the cause of charity; and Would to God that he filled the chair on the present occasion, instead of him. ( Cheers and laughter.) The health of the Royal Family was then drunk with 3 times 3. Song by Mr. Collier, " Oh no, we never mention her." The Chairman then observed, that, in endeavouring to do justice to the Navy and Army, and also drinking the health of the Nobleman at the head of the latter, there was a_ name which never ought nor could be separated from it ( applause), and in giving " Lord Hill and the Army," he would add to it that of " the Duke of Wel- lington." ( Cheers.) The Duke of Wellington, Lord Hill, and the Armv, was then drank with 3 times 3. Song by Mr. Webb, " St. Patrick was a gentleman." The Chairman said, in giving the next toast, the loss which the county of Wilts sustained in the death of the late Lord Lieutenant must be deeply felt; but if any tiling could diminish that regret, it was in the appoint- ment of his successor, whose health he would now pro- pose. The health of " Lord Lansdowne" was then drank— Glee, " Bacchus, great Bacchus, place me near the bowl." The Chairman, in proposing the health of the High Sheriff of the county of Wilts, paid a handsome compli- ment to the Magistrates. The health of Col. Wroughton was then drank Glee, " Let the sparkling bowl go round." Colonel Wroughton briefly returned thanks. The Chairman then rose and said, " Gentlemen, old as I am, for ladies love unfit, ( cheers and laughter,) the toast I am about to propose will, I have no doubt, be drank with that enthusiasm to which it is so peculiarly entitled; and when we think of the girls of Wiltshire, ( cheers,) whose beauty delights the eye, and whose vir- tues captivate the heart, their health will meet with that reception which it demands ( cheers); for if any thing could regenerate old age, it is a Wiltshire girl ( great laughter); and what can be more influential in the cause of a charity than an appeal made from the lips of a beau, tiful woman. ( Cheers.) I can assure you, gentlemen, that there are none more zealous in the cause than the ladies of Wiltshire; therefore I beg to propose the healths of the " Ladies of Wiltshire," ( 3 times 3, drank with the greatest enthusiasm,) Song by Mr. Broadhurst, " Green grow the rushes oh." _ Tl: e Chairman said that he felt great satisfaction in giving the next toast. He believed that no county could be better represented than the county of Wilts, or whose interests were better attended to. For while his lion, friend on his left ( Sir John Dugdale Astley) watched over the manufacturing interests, his hon. friend ( Mr. Benett) on his right, kept a close eye on the agricultural, ( cheers and laughter); but he had no doubt but equal protection would he afforded to both ; and he hoped that when the poor Wiltshire lads would be coming to London, his lion, friend ( Mr, B.) would not let them starve upon the road. ( Applause and laughter.) He therefore begged to propose the health of " The Representatives of the county of Wilis;" 3 times 3. Mr. Benett, in rising to return thanks, observed; that the noble Chairman had given him some credit in one way, but this he must say, that his noble friend did not do hitn justice ; for this much he must say for himself, that no man is » greater friend to both the agricultural and manufacturing interests than he is, and fce considered those interests inseparably united— they were like the oak of the forest ( hear, hear), while the agricultural interests formed the root, the manufacturing were the tree, and he frit confident that ur. der its shade honest industry would always find an asylum to shield it from the calamities of poverty and distress ( cheers.) For the manner in whieh his health had been drunk he felt truly grateful, as it was a flattering testimony of approbation as to the manner in which he had discharged his duty ; the more so, as in doing it he obeyed the dictates of his con- science ( applause.) lie begged to congratulate them on the renewed appearance of the prosperity of the Society, which was evinced by the numerous and respectable assembly he now witnessed ( cheers), and he hoped he should often have the happiness of meeting them, not only upon the present, hut upon many other occasions, and he should endeavour to deserve a similar reception to that which he was just now honored with ( great applause.) He had further to offer his congratulations on the ex- ample which the county of Wilts set the kingdom in the establishment of other charities ( alluding to the Wiltshire Friendly Society), which he begged to recommend to the attention of the company. The Hon. Member again expressed his acknowledgments for the manner in which his health had been drunk, and sat down, amidst great cheering. Sir John Astley, in following the example of his col- league, felt perfectly assured that his noble friend, the Earl of Suffolk, in paying him the flattering compliment of placing the Manufacturing Interests under his special protection ( hear, hear), did not mean to convey that the Agricultural and Manufacturing Interests of the county of Wilts were separate, ( the chairman, laughing, said Oh I no, no;) for his part, he conceived that they were indivisible, and he believed it was the general opinion, that the two great Interests could not, without prejudice to the public weal, be separated. ( Applause.) It was, he was sure, unnecessary for him to express a hope that the observation of the noble chairman was not made to divide the interests of tile county. ( The noble chairman assured him that in making the observation no such object was contemplated.) The hon. member, after returning thanks, resumed his seat amidst a strong feeling of ap- probation.— Song by Mr. Charles Taylor, " There was an old Chap from the West Country." The Duke of Somerset rose and claimed the privilege of giving a lo. tst, he was sure it was unnecessary for him to pre'ace it by any observations of his, as it would re- ctive that marked reception that it could not be doubted it had a just claim to; he then proposed the health of " The Earl of Suffolk and the Wiltshire Militia."— ( 3 times 3.) The noble Chairman in returning thanks said that he heard from his old friend Mr. Pearce, M. P. that brevity was tile soul of wit, and he knew that gratitude was the most divine attribute of man, and while he obeyed the one, he trusted he felt the other, and on no occasion more than on the present one. After paying a handsome com- pliment to the Wiltshire Militia and their late Colonel, ( the Marquess of Ailesbury), the noble Lord observed, that the schoolmaster was abroad, and the progress of education was great indeed, and it was not with the aris- tocracy nor the gentry it emanated, but with the mecha- nic. ( Cheers.) It appeared by the report which was going to be read to them, that there had been eight boys within the last year put out apprentices, all of whom re- ceived the benefit of education, and it was not a presump- tuous hope to indulge, that the County of Wilts would yet produce a Watson and an Arkwright. The noble chairman, after appealing to the company on behaif of the society, then proposed " Prosperity to the Wiltshire Society." Mr. Lewis ( the Secretary) then read the report, which staler! that since the last anniversary, ttie benefits conferred by this Institution have been more extended than during any pre- ceding year from the period of its establishment. Nnncnent funds bad been set apart for the apprenticeship of iiglit Children during the present year; six of whom have been al- ready apprenticed, and the others are truly waiting until prnper masters are provided for thetn lu addition to these, since the l. rst anniversary ttiey had the remaining moieties of the pre- miums due to ihe masteis of live boys, rliey having served one half of the terms ol Ibeir apprenticeships. These pavviclits amounted together to tile sum of IGIL. 10v ( let.— In comjlo- T li, the Committee refered with confidence to the benefits whieh. durinc the last year, tiiey had been enabled to etiect ill so ex- tended a degree; and felt assured, iti appealing to the Meeting lor continued support in aid of a charity, conferring, as this iloes, the inestimable advantage of training up in habits of nonesty and industry so many deserving objects claiming kindred with the counry of Wilts, tluy tlmlld not appeal in vain. Mr. Lewis having read the report, stated that he vould not detain the company longer than to adven to a circumstance which would excite the interest of every man present in support of tile charity. It was this, that although its benefits had htth.' ito been confined to ap- prenticing boys, the committee had lately taken into con- sideration the case of' an unfortunate Wiltshire widow, who was left with several daughters, and they were una. ni rinusly of opinion that the softer sex had claims on the chuity, at least equal to their own ( hear, hear), and the poor girl in question would accordingly be admitted a candidate for apprenticeship. ( Cheeis.) The Secretary trusted that those present would mention this fact lo the ladies of Wiltshire, and he confidently anticipated that at th? next anniversary he should have the gratification of announcing some of their names as benefactresses to the clarity. ( Hear.) Among the subscribers and benefactors then announced, were die names of the High Sheriff, John Ravenhill, Esq. the Mercer's Company, Charles Sutherland, Esq. Colonel Page, James Swaby, Esq. Rd. Webb, Esq. Ed. Russell, Esq. John Halcomb, Esq. George Moule, Esq. Wm. Wall, Esq. Geo. Bracher, Esq. Francis Giffard, Esq. Wm. Nash, Esq. & c. & c. & c. The health of the Duke of Somerset was then drunk, and his Grace shortly expressed his acknowledgments. After the healths of the Members for Devizes and Crick- lade, and Walham Wyndham, Esq., the health of Sir Benj. Hobhouse ( the first President) was drank with marked applause. Henry Hall Joy, Esq. and Charles Webb, Esq. were elected members of the Committee; Robert Gordon, Esq. M. P. was nominated President for the ensuing anni- versary ; and tile following gentlemen weie appointed Stewards:— Wm. Kemble, Esq.; John Halcomb, Esq.; Charles Sutherland, Esq,; Dr. Merriman; Dr. Sains- bury ; R. S. Eyles, Esq,; Colonel Wroughton ; George Pain, Esq ; Charles Crowdy, Esq.; John Ravenhill, Esq.; Christopher Ingram, Esq.; Gcotge Moule, Esq. The healths of the Committee, Treasurer, Secretary, & c. being drank, the noble Chairman left the chair, which was afterwards filled by Wadham Locke, Esq.; and aflrr some excellent sunns from Several gentlemen present, the company separated, all highly ,"; iJUti « l with the pioneiluigs of the day. A meeting, comprising nearly the wholcof the respectable tradesmen of Devizes, and others,' as held on, Tuesday last at the Town- hall ; W. Event, Esq. ( the Mayor) in the chair ; when a Petition to hr- liament against the contemplated suppression of thene pound notes of country bankers was unanimous!/ agied to— The petition states, " That the system of Banking in this connty has ben conducted on sound and cautious principles, two Baks only having ever become insolvent throughout the wble county, which circumstance took place nearlv twoty years since, and was then occasioned by the failure of their London agents ; in both those cases little loss ' as sustained by the creditors. " Your Petitioners therefore pray, that they may lit, by a legislative enactment, be deprived of an accommo- dation which has proved of extensive public utility, by enabling the country bankers to afford a bencScial serice to the trader, agriculturist, and manufacturer, prevening a depression of prices alike ruinous to each, and provng a source of considerable revenue to the country." BLANDFORD.— A most respectable meetng was held in this town on Saturday the 3d infant, to 011- sider the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the Act restricting the issue of small notes to the 5th of April 1829; — Carpenter, Esq. high bailiff of the borotgh, was in the chair A petition was agreed to. At Wilton fair on Monday last, there was tut a middling number of Sheep penned, and the prices were rather higher titan at the late Devizes and Downton fars. Couples fetched from 17s. to 28s., and Tegs from His to 27s. per head— There was also but a short supplv of Beasts: prime milch Cows with their calves, and good Barrenners, sold well, particularly the former, and higli prices were obtained for them. There were but a few Horses, which were mostly of an inferior description, and they went ofl very dull. At Calne fair on Tuesday, there was a pood supply of cattle, which sold briskly, and at good prices. A daily mail coach between Salisbury and Devizes ( for a long time anxiously desired), is to com- mence running this day. The proprietors, it is under- stood, have entered into a contract with the General Post Office, for twelvemonths. Its continuance, after the ter- mination of that period, must, of course, depend upon the support it receives. The coach will prove a great ac- commodation, not only to Salisbury and Devizes, but to other parts of the county; and we hope it will receive general support.

Company, having only just returned with a view to enjoy the fruits of his labour ; but in a far better service, he will still reap the reward of the good and faith- ful servant; for he lived, and died in every sense, a true Christian, treading, as nearly as possible, in the steps of his Heavenly Master, He humbly hoped to be num- bered amongst those Saints in Heaven, with whom he was ( in derision) classed whilst here on earth; but he was not ashamed of the Cross of Christ.
