A On Tuesday, the First of January, 1828, was pub- lished in Royal Octavo, to be continued Monthly, and completed in about Forty Parts, Part 1 of this Work, price 8s. or with the Plates coloured 10s. 6d. THE PUBLISHER'S ADDRESS. ON the Appearance of the Sixth Edition of Part the First of the LONDON ENCYCLOPAEDIA, the Proprietor feels it incumbent upon him to offer his grateful Acknowledgments to the Public, for the un- exampled Success which his arduous Undertaking has hitherto experienced ; a Success which' in the best and most flourishing Times could scarcely have been anticipated : but which, under the sudden, severe, and protracted Check which the Trade of the King- dom has received, is altogether without precedent. This in. ist welcome and efficient Testimony of public Favour, he chiefly attributes to the Plan of the Work ;— its Adaptation in Form, in Substance, and in Price, to the largest Portion of the Reading Commu- nity and above all, to the zealous and anxious Care with which he has uniformly watched over its Pro- gress, and the Solicitude which lie has ever cherished, rather to exceed his Engagements, than to fall short of them. Encouragement is the Soul of Enterprise and the Publisher has beeu stimulated by extraor- dinary Patronage to make unremitting Exertions, and even Sacrifices, in order to secure and deserve it in a far more extended Degree. Thus, instead of appro fmating the present Profits of the Undertaking, he las invariably thrown them back upon the Work itself; and lie trusts, Improvement in the Variety, the Originality, and the Accuracy of the Articles in each Department, is risible to every Reader. The Con- tributors possess the highest Qualifications for the respective Tasks assigned to them ; their Number has been augmented, and their Remuneration increased. It is not necessary to refer to particular Articles as Specimens of the Abilities of those whose Pens be has engaged. Yet he imagines that, without Presump- tion, he may affirm, that in all the essential Requisites of Science, Literature, and good Writing, the LONDON ENCYCLOPEDIA is not inferior to any of its Prede- cessors or Contemporaries, while it combines in every Branch all the Improvements which are to be derived from its being the last in order of Time. The Publisher does not arrogate to himself the Merit of disinterested Generosity in having thus for the present relinquished pecuniary Advantages, to which he had a reasonable Claim. lie willingly acknowledges tliftt his Views have been prospective; he knows that Confidence inspires Confidence, and | ^ that a liberal Spirit in carrying forward great Under- takings, in which the Public are deeply interested, will sootier or later insure ample Compensation and Reward. Now that the Work is thus far advanced, and its Publication has been punctual and regular, the Proprietor trusts that those who hesitated to • become Purchasers, lest the Speculation should fail, will no longer apprehend a Result, to avert which, were it necessary, he would readily sacrifice all the Property he possesses iu the World. He has em- barked in the Undertaking, and the Arrangements for , its Completion are as perfect and as stable as any Thing which Man can devise or accomplish. There are « till very large Classes of the Community to vVhonJ the LONDON ENCYCLOPEDIA is unknown they are not aware probably of its Nature and Object — that with a Cheapness, which, but for the Exten • irenesg of its Sale, would injure the Publisher, it combines all that is essential and really important in Works of three Times its Magnitude and Price ; and that it may be universally acceptable,—- in all ihe great debatable Points, which belong not properly to Ktiowledge, because the Opinions of the wisest and the best of Men are at Variance upon them, the Editos* has taken the utmost Care to avoid exciting either political or religious Animosities. The object of the Work is to give Information on all Subjects but not to play the Advocate or Special Pleader witl Regard to any. Churchmen ana Dissenters of all Sects and Classes may here learn what ea£ h other think ; but they will not find the LONDON ENCYCLO- PEDIA an Arsenal, furnishing them with Weapons to' carry ou either an offensive or a defensive War. On the present Subscribers the Publisher great'y depends for an increased Circulation of the Woik Among their numerous Connexions let it form the Topic of Discu& sidr*; let Attention be invited to its Principles, and to the Peculiarities which distinguish it; let each one feel himself pledged to multiply in his own Circle the Number of its Supporters ; and the Publisher pledges himself in return, not to relax in his Efforts to render every succeeding Volume still more worthy of Patronage than the last, aiming at universal Excellence, that he may be justly entitled to I universal Patrouage. To the Clergy of all Denomi. f nations, and to all those influential Persons who, in a j Free and Commercial Country like Great Britain, are diffused through the entire Community, the Publisher ou the present Occasion makes his earnest Appeal. Society is now so far advanced, that the people must be supplied with Mental Resources : let them have Science without Scepticism, Literature without Irre- ligion, and Intellectual Enjoyment without the Sacri- fice of Moral Principle. StfOOK'S GENUINE APERIENT FAMILY PIIiIiS. AMost excellent Medicine for Bile, In- digestion, Pains,- Giddiness of the Head, Piles, Dropsical Complaint*, and are iu a considerable degree a preventative of various other diseases. Their com- position is truly excellent, as they do not contain any Atitimonial or Mercurial preparation whatever, and therefore when taken do not require the least confine- ment or alteration of diet ( moderate exercise promotes their good effects), they seldom operate until ten or twelve hours after taken, and then very gently; they destroy worms, purify the humours, and evacuate all foul corruptions to which the Intestines are so liable, whereby so many diseases are produced ; never gripe unless the inside be very foul, and then but little, by removing obstructions they cause the food to pass to its respective parts ; becoming a good restorative and pre- servative of health to both sexes, and to those of a- costive habit a \ ruly valuable treasure. Also SNOOK'S PECTORAL or COUGH PILLS, for Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, and Shortness of Breath. It is well known that coughs and colds ( if not soon re- moved) are iu many cases attended with considerable danger, for the removal of which the Pectoral or Cough Pills are with confidence recommended as an excellent medicine, ami in most cases a certain specific: a single Box will be sufficient trial to prove their good effects. Each of the above Pills are prepared and sold, whole- sale and retail, by J. Snook, Chymist and Druggist, Bridgwater, Somerset, in boxes, at thirteen- petice half- penny each, duty included, or a family box containing three small boxes, at two shillings and nine- pence, being a saving of seven- pence half- penny to the purchaser. The stamp on each box of the Family and Pectoral Pills, has the proprietor's written signature, none else are genuine. Sold, wholesale and retail, by Messrs.

Tuesday Wednesday - Thursday Fridav - " In the meanwhile, however, Bonaparte was advancing with rapid strides from the Escurial. On the 24th, he had reached Tordesillas willi the advance of his cavalry; sending strong detach- menta on aa far as Villalpaudo and Majprga ; and at the latter of these places our troops were again enabled to try the strength of their opponents. It was ou the 2<> tb that a considerable force of the enemy were seen drawn up upon the brow of some rising ground, & apparently making ready to cut off auy stragglers which might lag behind, or wander far from the ranks. Lord Paget, who was present at Majorga, instantly directed Colonel Leigh, at the head of Iwo squadrons of the 10th Hussnfs, to dis- lodge them. Colonel Leigh, forming his Utile band into two lines, rode briskly forward, one squadron leading, and the other supporting, till he had gained the top of the hill. Here the men were Commanded to reiu up, for the purpose of refreshing { lie horses after the ascent ; and they did so irydera heavy hut not very destructive fire from the French. But the horses bad no sooner recovered their wind, than the word was given to charge, and in five minutes the French were overthrown. Many were killed, many more wounded, and upwards of one hundred taken prisoners. " The 10th, however, was not the onty cavalry corps which succeeded in distinguishing itself. It was remarked by all, that as often as the French and our people came iuto contact, the superiority of the British cavalry was shewn to a degree far beyond any thing which had been anticipated. They seemed to set all odds at defiance, and in no single instance was their temerity punished by defeat, or even by repulse. Matters went so far at last, that Captain Jones, of the 18th, ventured, with no more than thirty men of his regiment, to attack one hundred French cavalry, and he put them to the rout, killing fourteen, and making six prisoners. " Whilst the cavalry were thus coming into almost daily contact with the enemy, and kept in excellent spirits by their repeated successes, the infantry, Covered by two or three light regiments, were marching over miserable roads, and through an exhausted country, exposed to hardships more errible than it has frequently fallen to the lot of British soldiers to endure. The weather was now more severe than it had been since we entered Spain; cold winds blowing, and heavy showers of sleet and rain falling; and it was not always that the troops could find shelter, even at night, against their influence. The males and other animals em ployed to carry the baggage soon began to founder; or the muleteers, terrified at the prospect of being overtaken by the French, left them and fled. In such cases it was fonnd quite impracticable to get the animals along, for they would obey no voice but that of their master, and they were consequently abandoned, and their* loads given up to plunder. Nor were those the only evils to which our men saw themselves exposed. The Spaniards, whether they were men in authority or not, either abandoned their houses as the British army approached, lock- ing tlreir doors, and concealing, as far as they were able, the little stock of provisions of which they might be possessed ; or they met our requisitions for food and winewith murmurs and complaints, such as they would not have ventured to utt^ r before French soldiers. These things not unnaturally increased the irritation under which the troops already laboured. 7' hey began to view the Span- iards as their worst enemies, and to treat them as people nnworthy of any consideration whatever. This was severely retaliated npon them by an enraged peasantry; and the scenes of violence and bloodshed, iu which these allies were the actors, proved by no means uncommon. On the 27th of December the cdlumn rcached Benevente. Benevente is remarkable for an old baronial castle, which for many generations has been the property of the Dukes of Ossuna; and to which, in point either of splendour or extent, it would be difficult lo find in Europe a fellow. Near it runs the little river Eslar, across which, at some distance from the town, a bridge was thrown, but which was commanded by soine hills, that rise rather abruptly from the opposite bank of the stream. Our people had scarcely entered the place, when an alarm was raised that the enemy were approaching ; and it proved to be so far not with- out. foundation, that troops were seen as if in the act of forming on the heights beyond. Preparations were instantly made to receive them. The regi- ments assembled at their several points of muster, and the cavalry rushing through the gates, de- scended to the level country, where they could most conveniently act ; but neither the one nor the other were called into |) lay. The enemy, satisfied with thus disturbing our repose, melted away, and we returned again to ocr former quarters, and our original occupations. The best precautions were, however, taken to provide against surprise; the. bridge over the Ealar was broken down, and pickets of cavalry were extended all along the bank, so as to watch the fords, and - give timely notice of any movement. " The tiigbl of the 27th passed by in quiet; and as soon as daylight came in the retreat was renew- ed. The cavalry, however, had not beeu with- drawn, when certain movements on the part of the enemy appeared to indicate that we should not be permitted to escape thus easily. A body of five or six hundred horse were observed, about nine o'clock, to try a ford not far from the ruins of the bridge, and in a few moments afterwards they crossed, and began to form on our side of the river. Instantly the pickets, who had been appointed to do the duty of 9 rear- guard, made ready to oppose them. Though they mustered little more than 2901 men, they boldly advanced, under the command of Col. Otway, aguinst the mass, repeatedly charging its leading squadrons, and keeping it fairly iu check, till Lord Paget and the writer oftheae pages arrived, when the former made haste to bring up the 10th Hussars, whilst the latter put himself at the head of the detachments already iu the field. Many charges were now made oti both sides, and the squadrons were repeatedly intermingled ; whilst the pickets still continued to give ground, as it was intended that they should. Rut the 10th were uow ready ; the pickets saw that they had support; and they required no entreaty to dash against Ihe enemy. One cheer was given, and the horses being' pressed to their speed, the enemy's line was broken iu an instant. They fled in great disorder to the river, and repassed it much more actively than they had passed it before; leaving in our bauds G.; iierall Le Fr- vre, their Colonel, with upwards of seventy other officers and men. This was, however, the most serious affair in wUfch we hud yet been : engaged. The cavalry opposed to us formed part of the Imperial Guard ; they were all tried soldiers, and fought in a manner not unworthy of the reput- ation which they had earned iu the uorth of Europe. They lost iu killed and wounded, independently of prisoners, about sixty men; our casualties f& ll somewhat short of fifty." 20 On Tuesday a young man, who was employed iu paiuling ( he wood- work of a room in Great Easl. street, Brighton, on observing a pislol of the larger size hanging on a nail against the wall, took Ihe weapon down, cocked and snapped il at hisconipanion, sportively observing previously, " Yotn money or your life!" The thoughtless action was repealed, hoi, happily, not with a similar aim, or falal consequences must have ensued, » s a charge of slugs followed, but which, providentially, did no mischief but lo the paper and on one side of the apartment. Much blame attaches lo Ihe ucl. of leaving a loaded i pistol in such a situation.

HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHBQOER gave liotice, thai on Tuesday next he should move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee, for the purpose of taking into consideration the 27th of George III. with a view to making a provision lor the faintly of the late Mr. Canning. CATHOft. IC QCBSTIOtf. After a great number of Petitions favourable and adverse lo the Claims of the Catholics were presented. Sir FRANCIS BURDKTT rose to bring forward HIS motion on the strbjeet. In introducing the question, and altera warm tribute to the character aud memory of. the late Mr. Canning, the Hon. Baronet said he was influenced by the same principles and views, and lie should propose a resolution similar to that which the Right Hon. Gentleman had last moved, and which had met the support of a large majority of the House. And his w ish, as it was that of M r. Canning, iu calling ou the House to adopt tfte restdut'roti, was to place the Church of England on a more secure basis than it had hitherto stood. One of the points which he said it was his object tfl make out was, that faith had been broken with the Catholics by the ( ion. fulfilment of the Treaty of Limerick, and that the Catholics claimed nothing that, that treaty did not guarantee ; his second object was to shew that fhe pledges of the ( Jniou had not beet* fulfilled, because, had an independent Parlia. meut still existed iu Ireland, there was no doubt that the Catholic Claims would ere this have been granted 5 and lastly, he should contend, that, upon the grounds of sound policy and common sense, the claims ought to be granted, whatever was thought of the other reasons on which they were demanded.; Into each of these considerations Sir Frai cis went at great length, aud concluded a long and eloquent speech, not un- worthy of his best and most active days, and in the course of which he was- much cheered, by moving tx that the House should, resolve itself into a Committee to take into consideration the state of the laws affecting the Roman Catholics of Great Britain aud Ireland." Sir Francis, after ftatiug that he contemplated no security himself but that to he derived from an equal administration of the law to all, said, that there, was, however, no security which the honour and conscience of the Catholic permitted, that would be refused.— IVlr. BHOUGHAM seconded the motion. The SOLICITOR- GRKBRAL ( Sir N. C. Tindal) said that lie expected an attempt would have been made to shew that some change had taken place in the opi- nions, doctrines, and acts of the Roman Catholics, with a view to induce the House to accede to the motion. The Hon. Baronet, by proposing no security, would 1 cave the Catholics, unrestricted by any tie, to act in the way their priests might direct them. The Mearned Gentleman then went on to answer the argu- ments derived from the Treaty of Limerick, and con- tended that the Treaty did not comprehend all Catholics, but only the Catholics specially connected with that city \ aud 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 rid; cnled also any argument from a treaty made one hundred and thirty years ago as applicable to the present times without reference to what had happened since; and he contended that tiie Roman Catholics required not only rnoje than they ever had during any part of the history of the country, • more than they enjoyed in any kingdom in but Europe, Catholic or not.— hi his opinion, the Catho- lics of the present day fulfilled to the very letter the spirit of the principle advanced by one of their most distinguished member?, a celebrated poet, who held that the Catholic Church was immortal nnditmchanged. The Rouse couid not forget that the Pope denounced Bible Societies, aud said of them that they turned the Gospel of Christ into a human Gospel. The Pope also restored the Jesuits, whose Order was suppressed in 177< 3, although it was in consequence of that sup- pression that the Empress Catherine was first induced to shew a kind feeling towards the Catholics. In 181i the Pope issued a Bull, stating that the good of li. e Catholic Church required that the. Order of the Jesuits should be re- e& tablished, and the same B. ull restored several monastic institutions which had been abolish- ed. The Catholics did not approach that. House wi. ili that tone of respect which became persons in their situation— quite the contrary, their petitions were much stronger than before.— Let not the House be told that all their feiirs with regard to the Catholics were idle. Let them only look at what had occurred during the last elections in Ireland. He would ask if the peasantry, in consequence of the dominion exercised over them bv their priests, were not . driven to vote against. persons who bad uniformly treated them with the greatest kindness? If all this occurred in the present state of things, might not much greater mis- chief be expected when power was extended to the Catholic body ? With regard to Ireland, he thought that the best mode of improving the condition of that country would be to promote the education of the people, to circulate the Scriptures, and encourage habus of industry. After the maturest reflection, and the fullest deliberation, tie felt himself called upon to oppose this motion for ilie reasons he had stated. Mr. SPENCER PERCBVM, supported the motion, nnd in so doing declared himself a convert to the views of the Hon Mover. He had doubted whether it wan p'oper to grant the Catholic Claims when fie entered Parliament, but he now was convinced of its proprie- ty. In doing this, he was a most'determined enemy to the RomJn Catholic religion, which he thought a foul pollution of the Word of God, but controuled, and mitigated, and subdued by the Protestantism around her, she was kept in a state of comparative harmless-' ness ; therefore, though unchanged in essence, she was materially changed iu the danger of hercareer.— If this country had not lost its Protestantism, Catholics might be admitted into Parliament with safety, but if, on the other hand, we had lost our love fW true religion, there would be danger in the step. If we failed iu the matter, it would be because we were unsound at heart ; but if we were true to our Protest- ant principles, and our love for religion were true and sincere, we should not fail. For these reason* he saw no danger in the proposed concession. Mr. M FiTZCBRAJ. n ( the Knight of Kerry) advo- cated the motion, and commented on the observations of the Solicitor. General respecting the, Treaty of Limerick. Hfe denied that the benefits of the Treaty were so limited as the Solicitor- General supposed, and ridiculed the ideathat a greater boon should be ^ iven to those who had taken arms against King William's government than to those who had never opposed it. He contended also, that at the Union a distinct pledge bad been given, not only by Mr. Pitt, but by all the Ministers of the day, " that Catholic Emancipation should be granted, and proceeded at great length, by documentary evidence, to prove the correctness of this view. In conclusion, the Hon. Member staled, with solemn emphasis, that the Catholic population of Ireland was organized against Government— this fact was- now not concealed — it was avowed openly; and he believed that the Catholic clergy, and those who were looked upon as leaders, were able to wield the whole mass of the Catholic population of Ireland as one man. Such was now the case ; he had foreseen this state of things long sinee, and had communicated his fears to the Earl of Liverpool. He saw no remedv but granting the measure, which lie thought could not long be delayed with safety to the country. Mr. GPORGE MOORE opposed the Committee. Tie denied that Mr. Pitt was so favourable to the measure virtually before the house, as was maintained by its present advocates ; and be read a passage fro. Ill one of that Minister's speeches in 1805 in proof of his opinion, in which Mr. Pitt declared that he had given no pledge on the subject, and that he merely looked, after the Union, to a more impartial discussion of the Catholic Claims, either for their admission or rejection. The SOLICITOR GFNRRAL for IRELAND ( Mr Dolierty) expressed himself anxious that the question should be set at rest, and to effect that there was but one way. No negative, however great, coiild crush it. It was negatived by a majority of 112 three and twenty years ago, yet, year by year, ever since, it had been pressed upon the notice of the house. It was impossible, and on this point he appealed to all Irish Members in. differently, that things could remain as they were, ft was equally impossible that the Catholics could be put back into a condition in which they should be coerced into peace, lie considered the allusions to the Treaty of Limerick und the Union unnecessary, but that, in investigating the subject, it would be best to look solely to present existing circumstances ; and viewing those circumstances, and heaiing in mitid that 110 fundamental principle of the Constitution would be violated by such a course, he should vote for the Committee. Lord FRANCIS COWER looked at the question as one nfi'ecting the interests of the empire from its centre to its circumference; and it was on the principle of expediency, in consequence, that he should consider the subject, and on that principle lie recommended the adoption of the Hon. Baronet's motion. To those who anticipated any danger from Catholic Members in the House, he could only say, Hi at he would rather hear their arguments there ilittii in the Catholic Association. He was sure that if the enemies of the < hurch were placed face to face with its defenders they would soon be put down. Above all, he argued, that the security afforded by the press was more than kufficieut against all the efforts which the enemies of liberty and order could offer, lie agreed with the Irish Solicitor General, that it was impossible to get rid of the question, and that the only subject for consideration at all was, therefore, the* propriety of granting it now or at a future period. At the conclusion of Lord Francis's speech, the cries of " adjourn" became general ; and further debate on the motion was in consequence postponed t, Jl next day. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The debate on the Catholic Question was continued. AF er the resolution had been read from the Chair, Sir R. IifGLia, in a long and elaborate speech, opposed the resolution—- that the House should resolve itself into a Committee. The Hon. Bart, contended that there was nothing iu the principles or practice of the Constitution which made political privileges an inherent right in any man, and until it could be shewn that the freeholder of thirty nine shillings had an equal right of voting with the freeholder of forty shillings he should deny any such inherent right as was cla'rmed to, reside in the Catholics. He contended also in respect to the Treaty of Limerick that it was impossible it could be held to convey to ' he objects of it those rights which by modern interpretation it was held to do; and that the assumption of a pledge having been given at the Union that the Catholic Claims should be conceded, was altogether unwar- ranted. Concession, upon concession during the last • JO years had failed in conciliating the Roman Catho- lics; and it was evident that they aimed at becoming not only a sepaiate Churth, but at obtaining- a sepa- rate establishment. Sir JOHN NEWPORT replied to the latter part of the Hon. Baronet's observations. He said that he well remembered having.. challenged the late Lord Castle- reagh with a breach of that pledge, and of being met by a similar disclaimer, but it was well observed on that occasion b> Mr. Elliot ( Lord Cornwallis's Se cretary), that if no pledge had been given, hopes equivalent to a pledge hud been held out. He . further insisted, that had such not been held out, the Union would never have been carried, and in that case either the Irish Catholics would now have enjoyed from their own parliament all thev asked, or Ireland would have 110 longer been connected with this kingdom. Mr. DCNCOMBE ( of York) thought the concession of the claims pregnant with danger to the country, and should therefore oppose it.— Mr, VILLIERS STBWAPT advocated the propriety of concession, ou the faith of the hopes that were held at the Union, in order that the Catholics might not be disgusted with that important measure. Mr. LESLIE FOSTER thought the present attempt was but another exemplification of the practice of modern times, bv which the expedient was endea- voured to be put before tlit; right. He considered the admission of the Catholics to be injurious to the Established Church, as well as to the Constitution, and 110 feeling of expediency could induce him to assent to it. Mr. W11. MOT HORTON was favourable to the Com- mittee, because he thought that the inquiry which would follow must lead to a settlement of the ques- tion. He did not hold securities so lightly as the Hon. Bart. ( Sir F. Burdett), but he had no doubt that satisfactory securities might be given. Sir .) AM* S MACKINTOSH considered the whole ques- tion as one of time. The claims of the Catholics must be conceded at some period, and they would be best conceded now, when they would be gratefully re- ceived. He quoted an argument of Bishop Marsh against the Ca: holies, that were their prayer granted, the next thing would be the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. That concession had already been made, and, therefore, he thought the other* might also. He contended that the exel usion . of Catholics front office, because of their religions opinions, was, in principle, as much persecution as was the auto da Te. It was, he added, singular, but true? that the onlv two nations in which intolerance prevailed at the present da? were Spain nnd England— the country of Locke and tiie country of l. oyola. lie most heartily concurred in the motion. Mr. Secretary PEEL spoke at length against the re- solution. lie denied that there was the slightest ground for the assumption thut the concessions sought were guaranteed hy the Treaty of Limerick. He was etotally prepared to nssert, thut at the Union there was no pledge nor expectation held out b\ Mr. Pitt further titan he himselt had admitted ; and all that he had admitted was, that whatever deduction might be drawn by the Catholics, lie was no party to it. The Right Hon. Gent', deified, therefore, that, any thing that happened then ought to keep the House from freely, discussing the question now. Neither, he con. tended, had the slightest pledge or promise been held out bv Lord Castlereagh or Lord Cotnwallis ; the d'Slinct statements of those noblemen were more than sufficient answer to anv reports of conversations which might have been entered into at that time. There wa land careless of the advantages they enjoy— were they willing to hazard their enjoyment by conced- ing to the Catholics what they claim, whatever were the risk, it were just it should be incurred : but the people of England are not so inclined ; and the Parliament that would press such a sacrifice 011 them would seal its death- doom* They would fly from petty tyrants to the Throne, and assist their King in putting down institutions created for their mutual protection, but converted, by the folly of their Members, to their mutual deslfaetfiun. It is, however; unnecessary to enter on thfe discussions of a probability so remote. ThereXs, no doubt, a powerful party iu the House of Commons, who will vote with Sir Francis Burdett, but though it were as strong in influence and in principle as iu numbers, its efforts would be vain. The hereditary legis- lators of the country are not borne about " by every wind of doctrine" like their elective brethren. They have no seats dependent on the resolutions of the Catholic Association. They have done their duty before, and, if necessary, will do it again. The accounts which arrived on Thursday from Constantinople, have disappointed those who still clung to the hope that ( lie. peace of Europe might be preserved by the adoption of a more moderate tone on the part of the Sultan. He is determined upon war, and though he is acquainted with the sentiments of the Allied Powers, he still thinks that they will not suffer the Turkish empire to be destroyed. This is the substance of the last advices that have beeu received by the way of Vienna— and to the knowledge of this determina- tion we may probably impute the change which is rumoured to have taken place in the Emperor of Russia's plan of operations. It was supposed that he would, in the first instance, content himself with occupying the Principalities, and~ Would not immediately pas3 the Danube. It is said now, however, that he will occupy the Principalities, and pass the Danube at the same time— pushing on towards Constantinople as quickly as possible. The Gazette dc France of Thursday says—" At the moment we are writing this article, it is pro- bable that Wallaehia and Moldavia are occupied by the Russian armies. Before, therefore, official intelligence be received in this country as to the occupation of those provinces, it is highly probable that the Danube will have been crossed, and that the main Russian army Will be in full march upon Constantinople. The forces ou both sides are so Unequal, that war once begun, the occupation of the Turkish capital by the Emperor Nicholas seems inevitable. According to some German Papers received yesterday, the Russian army that was iu Persia is expected to move towards Erzerum, in the Asiatic dominions of the Sultan ; for having l> y the Treaty with Persia secured possession of the mountainous province of Armenia, the acquisition dftheTurUish Fortresses in the Land of the Kurds' will Tie of essential importance to Russia. All the accounts from Portugal concurin stating, that His Most Catholic Royal Highness, Don Miguel, regardless of his oath, is gradually paving the way for ascending the Throne of Portugal. Yesterday, the Royal Assent was declared, by commission, to the Bill repealing the Test and Corporation Acts. The Commissioners weie the Lord Chancellor, the Earl, of Shaftesbury, and Lord Bexley. no claim of justice io the question, and as little, look, ing lo its bearing 011 the Constitution, did he think fh.- re was any claim of sound policy. He he'd, that to make no distinction between Cetbolics and Protestants was a direct violation of the principles of the Revolu- tion, whiclriirleuded to ereet a Protestant Constitution, and for thai purpose to refuse to any but Protestants a participation in those places which were necessarily connected w ith iu maintenance. He denied also that there was any analogy between the Test Acts repeal and the concessions sought. The gtrantiugf of the latter would change the character of the State, which the former did not. The Right Hon. Secretary spoke two hours and ten minutes ; nnd wus very loudly cheered during his speech, and at its conclusion. Lord WU. IIAM PAGET said, that though lie had formerly been hostile to the measure, he had now changed his opinion, and should vote for its adoption. — Mr. BROWNLOW spoke in favour of the Committee, lie denied strongly, that, iu all the course of the debate, anv thing like a reason derived from nets had been given for refusing the concession prayed for. M LaMu ( Chief Secretary for Ireland) considered that ' j: s official station called upon him to express his sentiments. He then proceeded to argue against the position assumed by Mr. Peel, that the laws enacted at the devolution were not to he altered and modified as cireumstaticcs required. He contended that the evils complained of in the conduct of the Catholics were the effect of the laws, which were sought to be changed, and that the concession required would mitigate and soften them. Mr. C. GRANT rose amidst the loudest and most general cries of " question, and withdraw, 11 perhaps ever heard in the house. It could only be ascertained from his usual sentiments that he advocated the niea- sore — ' I lie question w- usat last put on the adjournment of the debute till Monday, which was ultimately car- ried.

We are satisfied with the knowledge that it is not in the power of any Body Corporate or Politic to appro- priate the Cliiarry to such a purpose : if, however, such power were. posscssed, we should still have the satisfaction of know- ing th « t the Burgesses of Shrewsbury retain sufficient spirit to enable them successfully to resist the degrading profanation. -^ y- By a curious coincidence, we- have received another letter, from " AN INVALID," complaining of the practice of. hanging clothes to dry, and dusting carpets, in the walks of Th K CtDA RRV; " tile dust of the one, and the reeking stench of the other, of these nuisances being most injurious and distressing to the invalid, and a disgrace to one of the other- wise most beautiful promenades that this or any other king- dom can boast." gg* The letter of " A CONSTANT READER" should have been authenticated. On FRIDA Y NEXT, May the Wth, the WESLEYAN METHODIST MISSIONARY MEETING will be held in St. John's Chapel, Shrewsbury, to commence precisely at Two o'clock ; when interesting Information will be given respect- ing Missions to the Heathen World, by the Rev. R. NEWTON, from Liverpool, the Rev. A. G JEW. ITT, from Wolverhampton, the Rev. J. JtOSSER, from Stafford, and several other Ministers. At Seven o'Clock the same Evening the Rev. H NEW- TON will preach ihe concluding SERMON. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, The writer under the signature of OBSERVER, in your last Journal, has done much service to the real interests of the tortn, by his remarks on the pro- posed removal of our Fairs, & c.; and 1 trust that, from his evident acquaintance with our localities and local interests, he will be induced to eitend his observations to bther topics. If any confirma- tion were wanting of his remarks on the absurd project of taking the Fairs to Kingsland, or to any spot remote from the trading parts of the Town, let an unprejudiced persou go into the Fair to- morrow, and see how business is carried on. Let him en- quire how the money transactions are effected; and then he will find that Kiugsland would be a very awkward situation for doing the business which requires that the door of a banking- house should be almost within sight, aud at anv rate within easy reach, of those w ho attend the Fair. Let him ask, too, the numerous innkeepers and tradesmen who benefit by the assemblages brought into the towu on Fair days, and then he will understand how it is that schemes which are asserted to be easy of accomplishment, and are made to appear plausible enough upon paper, are, when examined, not only absurd and difficult iu themselves, but would, if effected, be absolutely ruinous to many families. That some means should be adopted for removing the obstructions complained of, every one must admit; but while I would assent to this proposition, aud would aid any judicious measure for carrying it into execution, I trust those in authority will endeavour to preserve to myself and to my neigh- bours, whose property and business have been established within reach of all the local burdens of the town, those means of trade by which we have been hitherto enabled to meet our engagements and to support our families. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, A TRADESMAN. Shrewsbury, May 13,1828. FASHIONS, THE MISS PRITCHARDS OST respectfully inform their Friends and the Public, that their new MILLINERY, DRESSES, See. 8tc. ( selected by Miss PRITCHARD in London) are now for Inspection. N. B.

The Town is said to be fuller at this moment than it has been for twelve years past, and of those who add to the crowd there are, we have heard, not less than six hundred Members of the House of Com- mons. It speaks highly for the age in which we live, that on great and important questions, the muster bcxh of those who uphold, and those who oppose them, is so strong. Some twenty years ago, four hundred was considered an immense House. The division on the impeachment of Lord Melville was only uliout that number, though every feeling of personal aud political enmity and friendship combined to call forth his friends and hia enemies, backed by thut measure now no longer resorted to, because no longer necessary— a call of the House • Sir Francis Burdett's motion, in consequence of which the present assemblage has taken place, is limited to a Resolution that Ihe House of Commons will take into consideration the. state of the Roman Catholics It is evident, however, that by agreeing to this Resolution, the House in reality commits itself ou the whole question, aud therefore we may rest assured that the Resolution will be met in pre- cisely the same way as a more definite and decisive proposition would. Among the plans circulated for the purpose of procuring a few stray votes, Mr. VVilmot Horton has published one which would, he imagines, give that security which the advocates for securities require. His proposal ia, that all Catholic Members shall adjourn to the lobby, or to Bellamy's, whenever any question directly affecting the Church of England or the Church of Scotland in discussion. We do not know whether the Right Hon. Member seriously means to recommend such an expedient for preserving the integrity of the Church, but at first sight it certainly looks very like one of the jocular plans which Swift was in the hr. l-. it of propounding. For our own part, we think that all history and all experience teach but one truth of the Roman Catholic religion:— that it is the steady and unrelenting foe of every liberal institution— of every constitutional doctrine of every comprehensive and enlightened measure. Wherever it has established itself, we find, without a solitary exception, bigotry, tyranny, aud igno- rance in its train, and precisely in the degree of its domination is the degree of their prevalence. Look to Spain, to Portugal, to Italy ! I. ook, as a Noble Lord the other night very properly observed to the Catholic and tlie Protestant Cantons of Swit- zerland, and, he might have added, to the Catholic aud Protestant Principalities of Germany. Lastly, to come nearer home, and to take a case which is equally in point, and which affects us more nearly — look to Catholic Ireland and to Protestant Ireland! It is no answer to tell us that the state of France is not as we have described the state of Catholic countries to be. France is not Catholic, nor has been, except iu form, ever since the seeds of Protestantism were planted in her by the Hugue- nots. We will admit that were the people of Eng- Alanifesto and Declaration of Russia against Turkey. There is no doubt that the passage of the Pruth took place on the 26th or 27th of last month, and that the Russians advanced from that Rivet- into the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. But this is not the only, nor the most impot- taiit opera- tion with which the war is expected to commence. The Russians, it is said, will cross the Danube about the same time into Bulgaria, and push for- ward as rapidly as possible, supporting their main army by a landing near the Gulph of Varna. The first operations of the war have been pre- ceded or accompanied by an explanation of the grounds which have iuduced Russia to go to war. This explanation we received this morning in the form of two State Papers,— one is entitled a Mani- festo and the other a Declaration. In the first of these important documents the Emperor complains of the violation of the Treaty of Bucharest in 1812, and of the subsequent Treaty of Akermann— of the illegal seizure of Russian vessels, and confiscation of their cargoes— of the closing the passage of the Bosphorus to the great injury of the Russian trade in theJEJIatlt'Sea— of the intrigues of the Porte with Persia to prevent her making peace with Russia— of the want of faith iu the conduct of the Divan for the last sixteen years. All these grievances have afforded the Emperor just ground for war. He has, therefore, ordered his army to advance. The DECLARATION enters into a more ample review of the conduct of the Porte. It reproaches her with duplicity in signing the Treaty of Aker- mamt, which she never intended to fulfil. It refers to her intrigues with Persia— charges her with violating her pledge to the Servians, and her gua- rantee to the Provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia. An amnesty was to be granted to the Servians; instead of w hich the Turks invaded their territory, and made a dreadful massacre. The privileges of the Principalities were to be guaranteed; instead of which a system was established of the most sweeping plunder. The incursions of the Turks inhabiting the left bank of the Kuban were encou- raged. Yet Russia, during all these provocations, only desired to instil more moderate aud just prin- ciples into the conduct of the Porte. She dis. approved of the enterprise of Prince Ypsilatiti, but required that the innocent should not be confounded with the guilty. These requisitions were rejected, and the Christians were made the victims of indis- criminate cruelty and rage. The patience of the Emperor Alexander was at length wearied, and iu October, 1825, he transmitted an energetic re monstrance to the Porte. His lamented death did not produce any difference in the moderate policy of Russia. His successor trod in the same steps, and, instead of taking advantage of the revolt of the Greeks, endeavoured to mediate between them aud the Porte, in conjunction with his ally, England, he signed the Protocol of the 4th of April, aud subsequently, in conjunction with England and France, the Treaty of the 6th July. The Emperor appeals to the articles of that Treaty in propf of the disinterested nature of his intentions. He sneaks of the breach of faith oil the part of the Ottoman General which led to the battle of Navarin. Yet even this event did npt induce the Emperor to abandon his wish for Peace. The reply to all this moderation— the answer to ail these pacific attempts— was the iusuiting Mani- festo of the 20th of December. Finally, after enumerating his just gromirfs of complaint, the Emperor declares war against Turkey, and states the objects of the wa^ y ' To compel Turkey to pay all the expenses of Ihe war, and to indemnify his subjects for all the losses they Itave sustained. To enforce the due and effectual observance of those Treaties which Turkey has violated. To secure the inviolable liberty of the Black Sea, and Ihe free navigation of the Bosphorus. He declares that he has not those ambitious designs which the Turkish Manifesto has imputed to him— that lie has already countries, aud nations, aud cares enough— that, though he is at war for reasons inde- pendent of the Treaty of the 6th of July, he will tint depart from the stipulations of it, which he will fulfil in concert with his Allies.

SIR, « I hope to be allowed, through the medium of your widely circulated Paper, to address a few lines to your agricultural readers, against the importation of foreign wool paying only a nominal duty. I understand the wool- growers of the county of Montgomery have lately held a meeting; at which they agreed to petition Parliament to protect them, by an adequate import duty, from the present ruiu- ous competition which they are brought into with the foreign growers of wool, and thereby secure to them that return for their capital and industry, which, as subjects of His Majesty, and growers of British wool, they consider themselves fairly en- titled to. As the wool- growers of this county are equally interested ill ail adequate protecting import duty ou foreign wool with their neighbouring wool- growers in Montgomeryshire, 1 hope shortly to see this grievous subject taken into consideration by the Lauded Interest of this extensive county, by signiug a requisition to the High Sheriff to convene a meeting, which I have no doubt would be numer- ously and respectably attended by the landed pro- prietors and wool- growers of the county. 1 remain, Mr. Editor, Your's obediently, AN AGRICULTURIST. May illh, 1828. The Staffordshire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of the Hon. Edward Monckton, is ordered to assemble for six days permanent duty ( exclusive of marching days), on the 25th instant, at Lichfield and Tamworth. Mu. BROUGHAM'S CHARITIES !— According to a Parliamentary Return, it appears that the expenses which have beeu incurred by payments from the public purse to the Commissioners appointed to inquire concerning Charities in England and Wales, from the commencement of the inquiry to the 1st of March, 1828, have already amounted to £ 138,850. 13s. lid. There are ten Commissioners, each with a salary of £ 1000 a- year, in addition to their travel, liitsr expeiiseB, clerks, & e. & e. PARSIMONY OF THE EARL OF ELDON !— In the course of an argument in the Vice Chancellor's Court, Mr. Sugden having occasion to refer to some ease lately published, on applying to the library, was informed that the work bad not been furnished. He mentioned this circumstance, that some plan might be adopted to keep the library in a proper state,— The Vice- Chancellor inquired who was the proper officer to superintend the library, and out of what funds new works were supplied ?— Mr. Sugden thought there was no fund applicable to such a pur- pose. It was a fact, he believed, not generally known, even amongst the bar, that the present splendid library was established, and supplied with books, by the late Chancellor, Lord Eldon; and during the whole of the time his lordship held the seals, he regularly supplied every work as it was published, at his own private expense; but it would be too much to expect his lordship now to do so. He therefore should recommend that an annual sub- scription be entered into by the members of the bar, and trusted that some of the junior members would undertake the management of it— Mr. Knight con- curred in the opinion of Mr. Sugden, as to the necessity of some plan being immediately adopted, and would take an early opportunity of having some conversation with his friends on the subject.

WAILEB, THE ROMA* CATHOLIC QUESTION !— It will be seen that Sir Francis Burden's motion was carried in the House of Commons yesterday morning! At this we are not surprised: it will, unless the Pro- testants of England bestir themselves, shortly be a question whether the Protestant Religion is to form any part of the Constitution. We do not disguise our seutiments on this subject: it is very probable a new Parliament wilt result from this motion : if so, let the Protestant community elect those, and those ouly, who will support Protestant institutions. Ou the subject of giving way to the inroads of Popery, we cordially concur in the following observations of Sir R. H. lnglis :— " If Ihe deluge be fated at last to overwhelm us, and if in its mad career it should sweep away throne aud altar, lower and temple, principality and power, let ns maintain our position to the last, and stand undismayed by the landmarks of the constitution ! Above all, let us not of our own accord break down the barriers which our ancestors erected for our preservation ; und if perish we must— which may God avert — let us perish boldly in the face of the day, defying the assaults of our enemies, and not sinking umier the treachery of friends, or the fatal consequences of our own ere dulity." We understand that Messrs. Greenw ood and Co. have commenced an action against Mr. Moore, solicitor and land- agent, of this place, for the price of their Map of Shropshire, which he defends, and it is probable it will be tried at our next Assizes. The Duchess of Northumberland gave a grand concert on Wednesday evening, at Northumberland House. The preparations on the occasion were of the most splendid description. To enumerate the company would be to name all the leading and distinguished of the haut ton in town. Lord Hill gave a grand dinner ou Saturday, at his house in Connaught- place to a numerous party. FIELD DAY. Wednesday morning, between seven und eight o'clock, the regiment of Royal Horse Guards ( Blues), headed by their band, marched from the barracks in the Regent's Park, under the command of Colonel Hill, to Wormwood Scrubbs, for the purpose of having a grand field day. The regiment, on their arrival on the ground, formed into line, aud was then put through a great variety of very fine movements. The charge in line was greatly admired for its rapidity and precisiou. There was a numerous assemblage of ladies and military gentlemen present. The regiment left the ground about 12 o'clock, their band occasionally playing several martial airs until they arrived at the barracks. A.

THE HENBWR ESTATES.— Doe on the demise of R. W. Lloyd, Esq. against Jonathan Passingham, Esq.— We have been informed that this long con- tested and expensive cause respecting the Hendwr Estates, in the county of Merioneth, has been ended by compromise; Mr. Passingham having agreed to pay to Mr. Lloyd a considerable sum of money, to release all claim. Had the cause pro- ceeded, Sir James Scarlett would have attended at the next Shrewsbury Assizes, having been specially retained for the plaintiff. NANTLLE RAILWAY.— We understand that Ihe following case was last week decided at Carnarvon, by a very respectable jury, specially appointed for the purpose:— The line of the Nantlle Railway having passed through part of Coed Helen property, along the south- east boundary, for a considerable distance, aud taken up about four acres aud a half of ground, including a small piece of woodland, & c. the question was, what was a fair compensation to the owner of the property? It was estimated by Mr. R. Williams, surveyor and engineer for the company, at £ 441. lis. which valuation was proved to be correct by Mr. Williams, jun. of Lledwigan, and Mr. Lloyd, of Brynkir, The surveyors em- ployed by the owner of the property were Mr. Yates, near Oswestry, and Mr. Taylor, of Bagillt, who did not coutradict the above estimate, but con- tended that something more than the intrinsic value of the land should be given, and in order to ascer- tain that sum, they had formed a valuation of the whole property, which amounted to £ 30,000, and proved that the same had been decreased in value at least the one- twentieth part, being £ 1500, in consequence of the injury done thereto.— After wit- nesses were examined, the jury retired for about half an hour, aud returned a verdict for £ 859. Thus the fee simple value of the property was proved to be £ 30,000, which in proportion to Mr R. Williams's valuation of the four acres and a half would have amounted to £ 44,000, and £ 85,000 according to the sum allowed by the jury.

It is no little praise to this Authoress to say, that, the merit which her Poetrv possesses is entirely her own, anil is derived neither from the imitation of an admired model, nor from the bold and striking interest of her subject. Mrs. Wilson thus deserves credit for a degree of originality which is unpossessed by more than one fashionable Author of the other sex ; and a true native talent may- be found existing in the calm aud plaintive strains, which can only be devoid of sweetness- to the had utoied and hacknied ear ! Had she not been already known to the public, this Volume would have claimed for her its immediate attention ; as it is, it will establish her reputation."—- ATIIFN^ SHM, APRIL 2. " Her Poems are distinguished by a simpleelegance id a truly female propriety of character. As an Englishwoman should be, Mrs. Wilson is evidently fondest of themes united to the domestic character consisting of subjects that charm the heart, rather than astonish the imagination of the Reader. Her Works will therefore be merited favourites witJi the better order of spirits—- the generous and good.— NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, MAY 1. ' Her preceding efforts liave been hailed with a degree of respect proportioned to the merits of her Poems; and the Volume now before us will confer no disgrace on her former Publications. There is m her Writings much of that softness, ease, and plaintive harmony, which always please, and sometimes com- mand unqualified admiration.— Of the moral tendency of these Poems there can be but one opinion, the innocence of the Writer's mind is infused into every page ; aiid whether the lines are pathetic or cheerful, the- Same principles are always conspicuous.— The Reader who attempts to analize her feelings can hardly fail to catch the breath of moral inspiration bv which they have been dictated, and to imbibe the same spirit which glowed in the Writer's bosom." IMPERIAL MAGAZINE, MAY 1. * 4 The productions of this Lady have been uniformly distinguished not only by grace, elegance, aiid ten- derness, but by their inculcation, of every domestic, moral, aud religious duty."— LA BELLE ASSEMBLER MAY 1. *** See also u Literary Gazette," " Weekly Re- view," and the Daily and Weekly Papers, for Reviews of the 44 Cypress Wreath."

MAUCH OF INTELLECT.— Mr. Cunningham, in his new work entitled " Two Years in New South Wales," observes that the colony of Van Dienmn's Land is in great want of a theatre and a corps dramatiquc.' Ci'P- iocs CIRCUMSTANCE.-- A couple of robins, which had obtained access to tlie interior of Lacock ( Wilts) church, lately took the liberty, between the intervening Sundays, to build their nest njion the Clergyman's I'raver- Booh, whence it was detached by the rude hands of the sexton. The poor birds, however, then took to the singing gallery, and by the following Sunday had their nest completely finished upon the mnsic'boohs belonging to the choir. The hen bird deposited her eggs in that situation 5 and during the period of incubation sat, during the performance of divine service oa two Sundays, undisturbed and 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 becoming fully fledged, they have been taken possession of by some respectable people in the parish, iu whose hands the young birds now are ! Three horses Were lately stolen from the farm of Mrs. Watkins, a widow, of Llanhithel, in the county of Monmouth; but, in consequence of an active pursuit, they have since been recovered, and the robbers are now in custody. The expenses attending the prosecution of Field, Burnett, and White, the 3 men who fell victims to the game laws at the last Berks assizes, exceeded £ 600 ! —£ 120 of which was actually paid out of tho county rates! SWINDLERS.— In our Herald of the 23d nit. we noticed the proceedings of two men, who, availing themselves of the general system of trusting to promises, and the too frequent practice of giving credit to sharpers of every description at present so common, contrived to obtain corn and other articles from several individuals of this city, The same persons liave lately been exercising their talents amongst the farmers and others in the neighbourhood of Ludlow. They took a malt- house of a respectable person in that town, under the pretence of making malt, but which they did not enter at the Excise Office. Tliey, however, ordered nearly 700 bushels of barley and oats, the larger portion of which was delivered to them, and con- veyed in alight waggon to Leominster. Fortunately, owing to their proceedings being noticed in the papers, they were suspected before they could dispose of any of the grain, and the farmers succeeded in recovering their property again. IN examining the bags which they left behind them in the malt- house, they were all turned inside out, and some marked ' John Stone, Ivor,' others with another name. They had previously been at Ross, where we are informed they succeeded in getting possession of a considerable quantity of gram. A~ t Leominster they took a warehouse; and they have extended their visits lo Nottingham with tolerable success.— Worcester Herald. The new Roman Catholic Chapel at Wolverhamp- ton, was opened 011 Thursday, when High Mass was celebrated by Dr. Walsh, Bishop of the District. CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.— They who discuss the Catholic Question as a thing of mere party consideration, wilfully or ignorautly pervert ils true character. If ever there were a measure, which in all its elements constituted a great national question — one in which the voice of the people must prevail — one, in which no ministry, however powerful no parliament, however unanimous— no sovereign, however popular, can carry against that voice, it is this of Catholic Emancipation. Ireland can never receive the boon till it is the free gift of the empire. We will say more, she ought not to seek it upon any other terms. We do not think or speak of Ireland here as a separate, but as au integral, part of the empire— aud then, giving her all the benefit of her six millions of Catholics— if six millions there be— we contend that what she has to do is, TO SATISFY THE THIRTEEN MILLIONS OF HER PROTESTANT FLLLOW- SUSJECTS, or at least a clear majority of them, that THEIR rights aud interests, for which their ancestors fought aud bled, will not be endangered by the required concession. So long as they think there is danger, so long they have a right— so long it is their duty to refuse it. The Nuremberg Correspondent says that the most remarkable circumstance at the Easter fair of that city this year, was the appearance of Russian manufactured goods for sale. The circumstance was so novel that the magazine was crowded froin early in the morning till late in the evening. Novelty, however, was not the sole motive which had attracted every day such a large concourse of persons: the articles offered for sale, and which consisted of silks of all kinds, calicoes, and, above all, nankeens, being represented as much superior, both iu the quality and quantity of the materials, as well as in the goodness of the workmanship, to all similar manufactures! They are noticed, too, as a proof of the " astonishing progress" which the Russian manufactures have made within a few years. They were defective, however, in the elegance and novelty of the patterns, and, besides, more than the ordinary prices were demanded, in consequence of the superior goodness, as well of the materials as of the workmanship. The former defect is one which a short time will probably remedy ; and, upon the whole, the subject amply merited the intense interest it had excited at the fair.—[ We trust that the liberals in Parliament ( of whom about 300 should be discharged at the next General Election) will note this article. They wish us to ruin the British agriculturist, in order to encourage the export of manufactures to the Continent, while it is evident that, in a few years, our manufactures will not be wanted there, aud by that period, the home trade being destroyed, we shall find that, like the dog in the fable, having endeavoured in vain to grasp the shadow of continental trade, we shall have lost the sub- stantial and unfailing benefits heretofore possessed iu a flourishing home demand.] RICHARD GREEN, Solicitor to the Association JOHN PR1TCHARD, Secretary.

Saint John's Chape/, Deri tend, BIRMINGHAM. 6n Tuesday, pursuant to public notice, a meeting of the inhabitants of Deritend and Bordesley was held, for the purpose of electing a Minister to the vacant Chapelry in the former hamlet. The meet- ing was convened at the Boys' Sunday School- room, but it soon became evident that an adjournment must take place to some larger premises, and after a short discussion it was determined to adjourn to 811 unoccupied building, lately the Hagoda Foundry. Thither the persons assembled proceeded, and the extensive area was soon filled. The chair, after some confusion, arising in great measure from the want of preparation, was resumed by the Bailiff, Mr. Joseph Jenuens, attended by the other Trus- tees. It may be necessary to observe, that the estates belonging to the Chapel are at present vested in the hands of sixteen Trustees, whose duty it is, in com- pliance with the original grant, to recommend a Chaplain; but Ihe presentation rests with the inhabitants of the two hamlets. The testimonials of those gentlemen who had announced themselves as candidates had been previously received and examined by the Trustees, who came to a decision upon the subject on the preceding evening. As soon as silence was in some degree obtained, Mr. Simcox opened the business of the day by reading an abstract of some of the original deeds, after which he communicated to the meeting the resolu- tion of the Trustees, nominating the Rev. Humphrey Poujifuey ( of St. Mary's Parsonage, Bridgnorth,) I _ y a majority of one— seven of the Trustees having divided in favour of that gentleman, and six sup- porting the Rev. Edward Palmer. Three of the body were absent, one of them, we regret to say, ou account of indisposition. The communication was received with great dissatisfaction by part of Ihe meeting, and it was some time before the business could be resumed. Mr. Simcox next proceeded lo read the testimonials of the several candidates, in the order in which they were sent in. The first, those of the Rev. E. Neale, had been withdrawn, that gentleman having in the mean time obtained other preferment. The only testimonial received from the Rev. Hyla Holden was a certificate of his being in priest's orders. Four testimonials were read in favour of the Rev. Spencer Braham; and eighteen in recommendation of the Rev. Humphrey Pountney. The testimonials of the latter gentle- man occupied considerable time in reading, and their progress was several times interrupted by expressions of extreme impatience, and by loud tries in favour of the Rev. Mr. Palmer. This gentleman's testimonials were last read ; they con- sisted of several letters and numerously signed recommendations, among which was one, bearing nearly three hundred signatures, from the present congregation of Saint John's Chapel, where Mr. Palmer has ofiiciafed as Assistant Miuister for Ihe last two years The cheers which followed the l eading of these testimonials having subsided, The Rev. Humphrey Pountpey was proposed by Wo. Hamper, Esq. in the name of the majority of the Trustees, and ihe nomination was seconded by Mr. Webb. In the course of his address, Mr. Hamper paid a just tribute of respect to the memory of the late Incumbent, whose decease— as the friend of the poor, the friend of mankind, and the friend of Christianity— he said all must deplore; and in concluding he observed—" Were I asked for an outline of what I wish iu the character of Ihe miuister to preside over us, in a few words I should say, that 1 would have him learned but not a pedant, zealous but not a bigot, active but not a busy body ; displaying religion without cant, and liberal sentiments without a sacrifice of principle. Above all, I would have him a Christian in heart and mind, setting forth by his life and conversation a daily example of the beauty of holiness. Confi- dently believing that this outline will be filled up by Ihe Rev. Humphrey Pouutney, I do most ear- nestly and respectfully nominate him." Mr. Ham- per had prepared himself to enter fully into the cause of his opposition to Mr. Palmer, but he found himself unable to obtain the attention of the meet- ing— The Rev. Hyla Holden was nominated by a Mr. Latham, and seconded by Mr. Isaac Hill, jun.— In behalf of the Rev. Spencer Braham no one appeared.— The Rev. Edward Palmer was norni-. nated by Mr. Simcox, and seconded by Mr. Thomas Knott. Mr. Siincox's appearance as the advocate of Mr Palmer was received with loud cheers by the meeting. He said that he should not be doiug his duty to that gentleman, were he to let the matter rest with his mere nomination; he had attended Mr. Palmer's ministry for the last two years, and lie thought he was Ihe very man described by Mr. Hamper in his character of a Christian Miuister. In him religion existed without cant— without hypocrisy; he was pure, as the gospel required its ministers to be. He was a fervent and zealous advocate of the cause of Christianity; and he felt persuaded that he would perform his duty faillt- fully, not only to the rich, but to the poor. In allusion to the majority which had been declared against Mr. Palmer among the Trustees, Mr. Sim- cox slated thai it had been produced by keeping back oue of Ihe body who had promised Mr. Palmer his vote. That Trustee had been kept back by an individual present, and had he not been so pre- vented attending, Mr. Palmer would have been proposed as the first candidate iustead of the last, and would have had the majority of the Trustees iu his favour, as well as the majority of the iiinabil- auts.— At the conclusion of this part of the pro- ceedings a Committee to conduct the election was moved by Mr. Marshall, to cousitt of the Trustees and three persons to be named by each candidate. This resolution having passed, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the assembly dispersed. The result of the meeting appeared to leave no alternative save that of an appeal to the suffrages of the inhabitants entitled to vote; the supporters of the two candidates immediately entered upon the necessary preparations, ai. d a determined contest seemed likely lo ensue. Happily, however, Ihe liamlets have been spared the coufusiou aud conse- quences of a popular election, by the retirement first of Mr. Pountney, aud subsequently of Mr. Holden, who had announced his intention of oppos- ing Mr. Palmer as soon as he ascertained that Mr. Pountney bad withdrawn. The Rev, Edward Palmer was thus left without an opponent, and his presentation will no doubt take place without fur- ther impediment, Mr. Pouulney subsequently issued an address " to the Inhabitants of lieriteud and Bordesley," iu which he gives bis reasons for declining the contest for the Ministry of St. John's; aud those reasons do him the highest honour. He says— " As my determination lo resign all pretensions to St. John's Chupel. afler having been recommended by a majority of the Trustees, has been formed iu direct opposiiioii to the earnest desires and wishes of my friends, it is a duty to them and to myself to state the teutons upon which uiy determination was made. " When the Trustees advertised for candidates to send iu testimonials, I conceived that the persons in w tioni the patronage is vested would be influenced by Such testimonials ; aud that the business would be coll ducted with a calmness and patience suitable lo the important duly they had to discharge. I therefore confined myself to procure letters of my character and principles from such clergymen alone as were well acquainted with me, and 1 peremptorily refused to collect a mete list of names, which I conceive to be no criterion of a person's merit or demerit. If afler such an examination, any other should have appeared wore vvorthv than myself, I was prepared to withdraw with cheerfulness, and with mv best wishes for his succeiss iu the situation. Bui if 1 was successful, 11 was also lllv wish 0nd anient desire lo discharge iny ministry w ith faithfulness and zeal, to Ihe best of my abilities, and iu a spirit of kindness and affection towards all persons of w hatever party or profession. " I soon perceived that I was mistaken in Ihe idea I bad formed. The business was taken up on the other side with ail the unseemly heat aud eagerness of a contested election. The hamlets were canvassed from oue end to the oiher, and I looked in vain for any thing that could reconcile me to llie responsibility of entering into a contest of such a kind as seemed preparing before my eyes. The tumultuous proceedings of Tuesday and the bitter opposition which I was taught to expect, determined me to execute the resolution I had formed from ihe very first, viz. that no earthly inducement should lead me to pursue a course from which my con- science and feelings revolted, . or to merge the solemn character of a Minister of Christ in that of the leader of u popular election, I therefore decided, in firm oppo- sition to the intreaties and remonstrances of my dearest friends aud connections, lo withdraw from such a cou test altogether; and to relieve myself, at least, from ihe weight of so fearful a responsibility. ' 1 lu thus acting, I have given great offence to many of my sincerest supporters; lint 1 beg to assure them that I entertain a full and grateful sense of their kind- ness lo me, and I entreat them lo believe that nothing hut an overwhelming sense of what religious duty required of me, has impelled me to this measure. I should never have been happy, if I had, directly or indirectly, given a sanction to that virulence and party spirit which was evidently increasing in the hamlets. 11 To the Inhabitants in general I offer my silicerest wishes for their spiritual welfare; and whilst I regret the unchristian temper I have witnessed, I feel no resentment for it. The gratifying testimonies of so many of my revered friends, conveyed in their letters, read on Tuesday, is more than a recompense for any temporary vexation I may have received. I have secured, at leas', the approbation of my own conscience ; and I have not to reproach myself for having taken a single step, or deliberately uttered a syllable unbecom- ing the sacred situation I occupy; and ( his approbation of my own conscience is lo me a far more solid souice of gratification lhan any worldly emolument could confer upon mt ' miscellaneous ItttelUgenre. THE OKD_ MAJQR. If ever nature mixed up a double dose of all the suavities which humanity cau possess, it must have been in the person of the Old Major; brave without vanity, charitable without ostentatiou, kind without ceremony, and comely without conceit. He entered the army at the aye of sixteen, and appeared on his last paiade at sixty, but so broken in constitution, climate- struck, and truly veteran in appearance, that he had home the title of the Old Major for twenty years. He was descended from an old English family. His father was a prototype for a complete country squire ; hut Edward ( delicacy towards certain parties renders it necessary to conceal his nauie) bad the rage miliLaire almost in the nursery, and accordingly he purchased his ensigncy as soon as he was able to serve. During" the first ten years of his military life, his father paid the debt of uillnre, leaving his estate, which was not an entailed one, heavily encumbered, and his widow and four daughters ill provided for. The then captain sold his lands, aud divided the properly equally amongst his sisters and himself; sinking, at the same time, in an annuity, what sufficed to double tiie income which his mother could otherwise have claimed as her por- tion. Having made this arrangement-, he had no home hut his regiment; and no military man ever had such short and unfreqnent leaves of absence ; iu fact, he lived with ihe regiment $ the officers were, to hint, his brothers; ihe private men his children ; he had all his clothes made by the regimental tailor, his linen nrade up by a soldier's wife ; his servant was a soldier, and his faithful Trim ( a spaniel) was pupped in camp; he never had but two chargers, the one was taken from the enemy, and named Plunder, by him, and another, which was twenty years old at the period of his demise, and was given him by a general officer, was called Musket, by his master, hut nicknamed the Major, by liie soldiers, who asserted that the old horse could go through a field, day without a rider ou his back, so trained was he to his duty. No court or parliamentary interest rapidly promoted the major; he was ten years getting up to the rank of captain, although by purchase ; but this was in pari from hi: own obstinacy, for he might have purchased the step which gained him a company fifty times in another regiment ; but he used to say, that a man lost his con- sequence by flying from one corps lo another, and thai it would break his heart to part with his jolly fourth company, and the worthy members of the mess, of w hich he was the corner- stone and pillar, and to w hich he gave laws, like those of Lvcurgus, not to be re pealed. Two circumstances which had greatly im- peded his promotion were the long peace after the American war, and his being1 shut up for many years in Gibraltar; hut so fond was lie of the corps, the camp, and the garrison, tliat where his men were there he was contented. As a tactician he was of the old school ; he did not over drill the regiment, when under his charge, nor was he overload of long field days, nor complicated inuueeuvres. " Level well, my lads, and then come to the bayonet," Was his grand art of tear : his courage at the same time, was inferior to no man's. The detai of t, he regiment was his great delight ; to see the men clean and orderly was his pride ; to provide for the) comforts on the march, or under circumstances inclement weather, disease, or fatigue, was the great expense which drained his purse; many a bottle wine aud a hovvl uf strong soup went to the hospital or sick quarters from his pocket; many a cloak, blanket aud article of bedding was sent by him to the wunif of the regiment ; he ale the soldier's bread himself, and laid on a hard palliasse by choice. If the major was absent, when he was ten years eldest captain, his countenance used to be lit up when the colours were removed to his quarters ; a peerage would not have made him half so proud ; aud when a sentry was placed at his door, and an orderly walking behind him, lie would not have exchanged his situation for a crown aiid sceptre. As a president of a court- martial, his uneasiness for the prisoner, aud his unvaiied leaning to mercy, gained him every heart; at a punishment, agony was depicted in his countenance : he never commanded the regiment hut once on such an occasion: ihe prisoner's crime was desertion and theft ( having stolen a comiade's money); il was impossible lo par- don him ; meicy, however, still was the uppermost in the old major's bosom, arid just before the prisoner stripped, he ( ihe major) called out to, the adjutant with a tremulous voice. — 44 Has the prisoner any relation in the ranks?" 4k Yes, sir," replied the adjutant, 44 be lias a brother," 44 Theu let him fall out ; I am sorry for the disgrace which his brother has brought on him, aud J should be more so to wound a good soldier's feelings: John Roberts, fall out; you may go to your harrack- rooui." His maxims aud precepts were inauy, and both manly and benevolent. 4k Never speak haughty to a private soldier, because you do not know what blood may be under worsted lace ; if misfortunes have placed a man in ihe ranks, bruise not further his spirit ; and if choice and the love of the profession, do not disgust him with it:"— ibis was one. 44 iu punish- ing or reproving a soldier, never humiliate him, because if he has feeling- you will break his spirit, and if not, you detract from the honour of aims"— was another; hut they were innumerable. At the mess- table the old major was as sportive as young mau ; and he even allowed the boys, as he used io call the young officers, to joke with him, aud took great pleasure in being called the old mujor, or the old boy. As a bottle companion he was most entertaining, aud could empty two decanters and retire to his bed with the utmost dignity and composure. At last, the yellow fever, fiom which he never recovered, laid th> old major ou a sick bed, aud u few weeks terminated hi » mild aud honourable career; patience aud lesigua- lion sal upon his countenance to the last moment of life's scene, the consequence of religious principles, moral conduct, aud a life of social ai. d other virtues 44 Military honours, my boys!" were his last words, iu taking leave of the officers about him, whose love was discernible in their varying and struggling featutes; and military honours he had : he was followed to the grave by a whole brigade, mournfully and respectfully. of Some idea of the minute particles of odorous bodies may be formed from the fact, that musk and ambergris may diffuse a- continual and strong odour for a long' period of time, without suffering any diminution of weight. Haller fouud that one grain of ambergris imbued 8000 square feet of paper with its peculiar odour, and w hich was not lost during a period of forty years; and the same auiinated philosopher and physiologist also calcu- lated that less than the two thousand millionth part of a grain of camphor is distinctly perceptible when diffused in air! Lord Valencia also states, that the perfumes of the island of Ceylou may be detected at the distance of nine leagues! CHELTENHAM RACES.— For the Great Glouces- tershire Stakes, to be run foi* on the first day, forty- nine horses are entered. Seven Subscribers did not name. A yew- tree, in Aldworth churchyard, 6erks, now in a flourishing- state, is said to be 800 years old ; it measures nine yards four inches in the girth. If w e except the period of the visit of the Allied Sovereigns in 1815, London was scarcely ever known to be so full an at this time; as a proof of it, the receipts of the Two- penny Post- office are said to be one- fifth greater than they were a twelvemonth ago. At the close of the late Sudbury election, a pub- lican brought in a bill to one of the candidates, which exceeded in amount three times the value of his house, furniture, aud all the stock Which the excise had tak^ n cognizance of for the last twelvemonth. A final divideud, with interest, was paid on the 5th inst. to the creditors of Sansome and Blakesley, late bankers at Hinckley, making the full amouut of all claims. The annual expenditure of the corporation of the city of London iu feasting amounts to about £ 12,000. It is said that Prince George of Cumberland has become a mighty favourite with His Majesty. There are at present a great number of counter- feit sovereigns in circulation, and a great deal of caution is necessary to detect many of tirem, they are so well executed. It is said the income of the Corporation and the incorporated Companies of the city of London is about a million and a half per annum. It seems that the Petition presented lately in the House of Lords, praying that the Test and Corpo- ration Acts might not pass, and which Lord King commented ou with so much severity, did not emanate from a Congregation of Wesleyan Method- ists, but from the Congregation of a Mr. Vinate, a follower of the late William Huntington, S. S. of coal- heaving memory. LEAD- MINES.— The working of the lead- mines on the Fever River, in the Missouri territory, belonging to the United States, is at present pro- ceeding with great activity and success. The proprietors, in the true spirit of monopoly, have applied to Congress to increase the duty on the importation of foreign lead. The cost to the City of London for giving a dinner to the Allied Sovereigns was £ 22,000; and on the day it was given, the City baker sent Word to the Corporation, that if his bill for bread to the City prisoners confined for debt, was not paid, he would not supply the prisoners with any more bread.— The City bust of Granville Sharp, by Cbautry, cost £ 200. The City Committee's charge for their trouble in eating and drinking and giving* directions respecting the said bust, amounted to £ 50. The discoveries made by the Police Committee are astounding, and implicate an immense number of persons, some of whom move in a respectable sphere of life, aud have heretofore been considered above suspicion. We particularly allude to the mail coach aud Bank robberies, on both of which points the public will shortly be able to read evidence that will much surprise them.— 7' he Age. A new iron mine has been lately opened iu a field contiguous to the Haytoti Mine, Devon, belonging to another proprietor, affording ores of the richest quality. The estate which produces this treasure has heretofore beeu let for about £ 50 a- year, but it is now estimated to be worth £ 20,000. In working this mine, some minerals of most extraordinary high lustre were a few days since explored, especially a few topaz quartz crystals, equal in colour and brilliancy to Brazil topaz. Prince George of Cumberland was born on the 27th of May, 1819, consequently has nearly com- pleted his 9th year. His cousin, Princess Victoria, is just three days his senior. They are both sin- gularly robust and beautiful children; the Prince is somewhat the taller. The sale of fancy work last week at the Mansion House, London, for the benefit of the Ophthalmic Institution, netted upwards © f £ 2000. Many ladies of distinction presided at the stalls, aud seemed perfect adepts in raising supplies. STEAM COACHES.—^- We believe there is no im- mediate likelihood of these long- talked- of vehicles beiug started for public conveyance on this side Midsummer. The complexity of the machinery is now found to be such, in order to meet the several exigencies of ascending and descending hills, that if the scheme is not for the present abandoned, it is certainly in abeyanee. The progress which Education has made in Ire- land, within the last twenty years, is perfectly astonishing. From the returns made by the clergy, in 1808, the number of scholars attending all the schools was estimated at 200,000; it was found to be 394,813, when the general census was taken in 1821; and in 1824 it had risen to 560,542, according to returns made by the Established Clergy, and to 568,904, according to those made by the Catholic priests: the amount of education has thus been almost tripled in sixteen years. The 44 finance committee" have turned their special attention to the various consulships, & c. and have ordered accounts to be laid before them of the names and places of residence, of consuls general, vice- consuls, & c. in 1826 and 1827; of their salaries and allowances, and distinguishing, if practicable, the amount received by such con- suls, & c. in fees ; also, of the number of British ships, amount of their tounage, & c. cleared for the countries, ports, and dependencies, under each consulship, during the last three years. The public should know that a certain Noble Whig, who has declaimed all his life in favour of the Liberty of the Press, as the best asserter of popular rights, has been the first on a recent occa- sion to interpose the privilege of his44 order," to prevent Reporters from being accommodated with a proper place below the Bar of the House of Lords. Every man iu the empire should also know that, much to the credit of the Duke of Wellington, his Grace was perfectly disposed to gi* ant what the Whig was positive iu resisting,— Morning Herald. THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND— The women here are generally more handsome thaw in other places, sufficiently endowed with natural beauties, without the addition of adulterate sophistications.— In an absolute woman, say the Italians, are required the parts of a Dutch woman, from the girdle dowuwards; of a French woman, from the girdle to the shoulders: over which must be placed an English face. As their beauties, so also their prerogatives are greater than any nation ; neither so servilely submissive as the French, nor so jealously guarded as the Italian; but keeping so true a decorum, that as England is termed the Purgatory of servants and the Hell of horses, so is it acknowledged the Paradise of women. Aud it is a common by- word amongst Ihe Italians, that if there were a bridge built across the narrow seas, all the women in Europe would run into England. For here they have the upper hand in Ihe streets, the upper place at the table, the third of their husbands' estates, and their equaj share of ail lauds ; privileges with which other women are not acquainted. In high esteem iu former times amongst foreign nations, for the modesty aud gravity of their conversation ; but of late so much addicted to the light garb of the French, that they have lost much of their ancient honour and reputation amongst know ing and more sober men of foreigu countries who before admired them.

NORTHERN SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION. Towards the end of this month ( April) Professor Hanstein will set out on his journey to Siberia. He will be accompanied by Lieutenant Due, of the navy ; aud at St. Petcrshurgh they will meet Dr. Erman, from Beilin, who will go with tlvem as naturalist and astronomer. They will proceed from St. Petcrsburgh to Moscow, Kasan, aud Tobolsk, and northwards along the Obi to Beresow, iu order to examine the hitherto imperfectly known nor I bet n most branch of the Ural chain, and lo observe the temperature of that tract. They will afterwards go from Tobolsk by way of Tara, Tomsk, Krasnoiarsk, and Nischuei- Udinsk, to lrkoutsk, where they hope to arrive in time to pass the winter. Hence they mean to travel uorth- east to Jakoulsk, from which the most fatiguiug part of the journey will be to Ochotsk, as there are 1,014 wcistg ( 676 miles) to go over, in a country entirely uninhabited, in which they must pass perhaps a thousand streams, bivouac in the night, and take provisions for the whole journey. It is calculated that the tour may occupy two years. The grand object of this important expedition is to observe the phenomena of magnetism, and to ascertain, if possible, the situation of the magnetic poles, Sic.—- Literary Gazette. There is a natural curiosity exhibiting in Regent- street, London, which is of a better order than most of the town shows. It is part of a gigantic walnut tree from one of the American lakes. When standing, it was 150 feet in height, 80 up to the first branches, and 36 feet round at the base. The lower portion up to about 12 feet from the ground has been cut away and scooped into an apartment, which is very beautifully fitted up, and capable of containing upwards of 30 persons. The bark of this tree is 12 inches thick, and the wood of a peculiarly fine description. It is supposed to have been 500 years standing, and many a savage war council has beeu held under its branches, which the Indians supposed to be the dwelling of the invisible spirit, 44 the master of life and death." If this veuerable prodigy could give us its reminis- cences of the 200 years of the earlier half of its existence, they might shame the speculations of some of our conjectural historians. The carpenter's bill of the corporation of London amouuted, last year, to £ 7000. On the evening of Tuesday last, being the feast day of St. Enoder, the friends and work people ot Mr. John Vircoe, of Kervatiuack, iu that parish, were assembled iu a large barn, under which were ox stalls, & c. making merry in dancing, when a piece of candle which was incautiously placed against the wall, fell, unobserved, through au aperture in the floor, upon a parcel of straw underneath, which it quickly set on fire. Before the persons assembled above were aware of their danger, Ihe fire hail spread all over Ihe lower part of ihe building, and no! withstanding every effort made to check the progiess of the flames, the barn and other outhouses were consumed. Four fine c iws, w ith calf, which were in the stalls at the time, were burned lo death ; two or three others are seriously injured. Happily the dwelling house and mow hay were preserved.— The damage is estimated at £ 300;— neither the slock nor buildings were insured— West Briton. REMARKABLE STORM AT GRESHAM, NOR- WICH.—- On Friday the 25th ult, about four o'clock in the afternoon, this place and neighbourhood was visited by one of the most tremendous hurricanes ever witnessed. It occurred suddenly, as iu a moment, from the south- west, accompanied by a roar like thunder, and'takiug a north easterly direction towards Cromer, spent itself at sea. The extreme force of the whirlwind lasted scarcely three minutes ; but iu that short space of time il brought complete ruin upon an honest and industrious man of the name of W. Watts, iih a wife and family of five young children, by rending the sails and stocks from his mill, lifting the whole from off the post, and crushing the inside works to pieces, together with the roof and walls of the round - house, which had lately been erected ; and iu short so mutilating and destroying the mill itself, as to make il necessary to have the whole of it taken down, and rebuilt at an expense far beyond his ability to bear. One of the sails was blown fifty yaids from the spot, and what is very extraordinary, some feel of the weather boarding was blown uear I wo furlongs. Though ihe unfortunate miller endeavoured to slop it, his efforts proved useless — he beiug much alarmed, had providentially let't the mill, when it was literally dashed to pieces. Superstitious people are all agog at the supposed extraordinary circumstance of the late murder in Suffolk having been discovered by means of a dream. Dreams, afler all, are but for the most part our waking thoughts, embodied in an ungoveriud shape ; and those who attempt lo bring them into any thing like a system soon acknowledge that ihe idea is as hopeless and chimerical as to direct Ihe winds or air. At. the same time it must be admitted that we have the highest authority for believing that, even while our own reason slumbers, there is an unseen, unfelt, bul all- pervading influence, which directs the mind at the moment that all its powers seem to lie prostrate. This, however, is a source of inquiry far too meta- physical to be pursued through such a channel as this* and iu ihe case we allude lo seems altogether unnecessary for the solution of the apparently ex- traordinary circumstance to which so much im- portance is attached. Dreams may in general be accounted for by reference to our thoughts while waking. The loverdreams of his mistress, as the miser does of his gold, because they have occupied their minds during the day ; and in the case of the Polstead murder, the thoughts of the bereaved mother being again aud again directed to ihe object of her loss, and to the locality most strongly con- nected with it, it requires no very supernatural stretch of those poweis which sleep leaves umuspeuded to have presented to her mind in idea what the dreadful truth so soon resolved into a certainty. FRAUDULENT TRADESMEN.— On Tuesday, in the Court of King's Bench, an acliou was brought by au uplwilslererer aud cabinet- maker, named Thurnell, againsl a gentleman of the name of Veroni, residing in Ihe neighbourhood of ihe Regent's Park, to recover the amount of a bill £ 37. 8s. for upholstery goods. The demand was resisted, on the ground thai the articles were of an inferior quality, and not worth above half the sum charged for them. It appeared that the defendant had been attracted to the plaintiff's shop, Union place, New road ( late the Regent' Bazaar), by a handbill, in which Ihe plaintiff held himself out to the public as Ihe agent of Ihe Jour neymen Cabinet Makers' Society, 44 established for the benefit of a number of cabinet makers, with large families;" and staled, that ihe goods deposited al his warehouse were for sale al no profit beyond that which was sufficient to pay the bare journeyman's wages, This, it appeared, was a mere coutrivance of ihe plaintiff, to attract people to his shop, there being no such society as the oue alluded to.-— Lord Tenterden said, Ibis was ihe case of a man who had held out false colours lo ihe world. There was, no doubt, a great many gulls in the town, aud it was the duty of judges and juries to protect such persons as much as possible. His lordship added, this is as gross a fraud as ever was committed. Great injury is done lo the fair and honest tradesman by such practices as these. A decoy is held out to the public by ihe exhibition of some good articles which are now and then sold, but in general the most inferior articles are put upon the customer, and thus the most abominable frauds are committed.— The plaintiff was nonsuited. There are, we believe, Quacks in every profession ; but none, in our opinion, are so detestable as Quack Doctors; the patients of whom are sure to be bled dry in pocket, if not in person— very frequently both. A gentleman of this description lately visited Devizes, and professed to give his advice, but to sell his medi- cine. He was consulted by a poor woman, who had for a long time been diseased.— He comrnisserated wilb her, but told her that there was no chance of her recovery, but by taking a particular medicine. This medicine was ten shillings and sixpence a bottle ; and by great exertions, the poor woman scraped together sufficient money to purchase one bottle. She drank the medicine, but found il neither did her 44 good nor harm." The Doctor persuaded her to try another. It was beyond the poor woman's power, however, to raise any further means lo purchase it; and the Doctor sold his medicine, though he gave his advice, lu a lucky moment, she took ihe hot lie and a small portion of Ihe medicine to a respectable druggist, and asked him 44 if he could make any thing like itHere ihe poor woman discovered the secret: the Doctor had that morning purchased of the druggist sufficient of this very dear medicine for sixpence, to make 40 half guinea boli! es! The medicine, we are happy to say, was not calculated to do any injury, aud certainly not any good. The doctor gives his advice, but sells his medicine,— Devizes Gazette, HOUSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY. On the report on the Sale of Game Bill being brought up, the Earl of MAI. MESBURY said, had the bill been experimental he should have supported it; as it was, he was decidedly opposed to it. The Marquis of LANSDOWNB said all crimes had in- creased, but the crime of poaching had increased most of all, and other crimes had been unfortunately con- nected wiih it. He thought the present bill would diminish the practice, aud would therefore support it. After a conversation, in which the Earl of Malmes- bury, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Wharncliffe, and Lord Goderieb, took part, the report was received on a division of 54 io 29. Lord WHARNCI. IFFB moved the committal of the Night Poaching Bill. He said he had no wish to press the measure ; he merely wished to have ihe opinion of bet- ter informed persons. The Marquis of SALISBURY thought three months' and six months' imprisonment for the first and second offence, and seven years' transportation for the third offence, were not sufficient; he should propose six months, twelve months, and seven years' transportation. Lord CAERNARVON thought ihe penalties quite heavy enough. He was opposed lo any unnecessary severity which would make the bill unpopular, if it did not pre- vent its passing. Several verbal amendments were agreed to, aud ordered to be printed. The examination of witnesses on the Penryn case was then proceeded in until their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. The House was principally occupied in receiving petitions on various subjects. Mr. SI. ANEY presented a petitiou from certain mem- bers of a Friendly Benefit Society at Whitchurch, against Hie Friendly Societies' Bill. Ordered to be referred to the Committee thereon.— Also a petition from the Roman Catholics of Acton Bnrnell, in Shrop- shire, in favour of concession to religious professors of that denomination. PREROGATIVE COURT— THURSDAY. INGRAM V. WYATT. Sir John Nicholl pronounced judgment in this cause,' which related to the will of a deceased gentleman, named Clopton, by which property to the amount of £ 25,000 personal, and about £ 250 a- year real estate, were disposed of. Mrs. Barbara Ingram, one of the parties, was sister of the deceased, and to h& r he had by a will, dated some years before his decease, left a} legacy of £ 2000, while* to Mr. Henry Wyatt, the other party, who was his solicitor and land- agent, he left the bulk of his real and personal estate, appointing him his sole executor. By a subsequent codicil, how- ever, he revoked the bequest to his sister, and con- firmed all the other parts of his will. Both were pro- pounded by Mr. Wyatt, and opposed by Mrs. Ingram, 7 on ihe ground that the disposition was in behalf of strangers in blood; that the instructions had been drawn up by those beneficially interested ; that undue influence was used, and that the deceased wanted capacity and volition to execute the instruments pro- pounded. Sir John Nicholl examined the nature and degree of the capacity of ihe deceased, and how far he was liable to or secure from fraud or intervention. He adverted to the extreme jealousy of the law to prevent undue iufluence on ihe part of attornies over their clienls, and pointed out particular cases in which such instruments had been set aside by his predecessors iii this Courl, and applied the principles laid down in them to the present case. He examined the Conduct of the deceased, and adverted to several instances in which that conduct exhibited strong symptoms of in- ertness of mind ; one of the witnesses to these instances was a party deriving under the will £ 4000, which, if it were set aside, she must lose, without deriving any- thing from the deceased's intestacy, and was, there- fore, a most impartial witness. Sir John Nicholl, concluded by pronouncing judgment agaitfVt the wilt and codicil. Letters from Hobart Town, of 10th January, contain interesting- details respecting the unfortunate French navigator La Perouse, the place of whose destination is now ascertained. A great part of the hull of his ship, bells, pieces of ordnance, and other articles have been found by Captain Dillon ou Solomon's Island, long. 169. 28. W. lat. 10.15. S. It is ascertained that three of the crew are alive, and report states a greater number. The dispatches from Captain Dillon were dated on board the Hon. Company's ship Research, New Zealaud, 28th July He is stated to have beeu prevented from making further discoveries by the sickly state of his crew. The French expedition, which had been at Vau Dieman's Land, immediately prepared for sea for the purpose of falling in with the Research, and failing to meet her, of proceeding instantly for Solomon's Islands. The goods, plate, ordnance, and bells were all marked with the French arms, but Captain Dillon did not see the survivors of the crew. Capt. J. F. Devonshire has received, as he well merited, the thanks of the meeting of the Bankers, at Truro, for his exertions in causing the appre- hensiou of the four suspicious characters who lately paid that place a visit. They are now all safely lodged in Bodmin gaol, Broad, the most desperate and refractory amongst them, having been sent off to prison on Friday. His behaviour we understand was outrageous, and so unwilling was he to submit to the decision of the Magistrate, that it was not until he was informed he would be secured and sent in an open cart, that he would cousent to go in the usual conveyance to prison. BANK OF ENGLAND CLOCK.— The clock, in a building immediately over the Hall or Drawing- office, is a very ingenious piece of mechanism, and intended, as it fully does, to obviate the difficulty experienced in the various Stock Offices, from the difference of clocks. This with the dials at the Bank cannot occur ; for the hands of all are moved by one piece of machinery, and the whole, sixteen iu number, indicate the precisely similar hour and second. The communication between the machin- ery and the hands is made by means of brass rods, arranged within the roof, and thence continued to the different apartments in the offices. The length of the whole of these various rods is nearly 700 feet, which weigh at least six cwt. There are 200 wheels in motion: the principal weight is about 3501bs. and the clock is wound up twice a week. It also strikes the quarters and hours on, large bells. HINT TO SHAVERS.— A person not far from Torriugton, whose face was somewhat above the ordinary dimensions, has been waited ou and shaved by a certain barber every day for 21 years, without coming lo any regular, settlement. The tradesman, thiukiug it time to wind up the accounts, carried in his bill, charging one penny per day, which amounted lo £ 31. 9s. 2d. The gentleman thinking this rather exorbitant, made some scruple about payment, when Ihe tonsor proposed, if his customer thought proper, to charge by the acre, at the rale of £ 200; this was readily agreed to, and, on measuring the premises, 192 square inches proved to be the contents, which, traversed over 7,670 times, would measure 1,412,640 of an acre, the charge for which would he £ 46. 19s.

EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.— Colonel Emtnerick, a spot tsmau and a soldier, being pursued by a party of light horse, when going wilh despatches from his Commander- in- Chief, ihe late Duke of Brunswick, rather than surrender, leaped a precipice wilh his horse of thirty- six feet, without receiving any injury, and continued his route. In commemoration ot this bold and gallant daring, his statue on his steed was erected on the spot, at Brucksel, in Germany, a monument of his zeal aud intrepidity,— Annals of Sporting. SPIRITS CONSUMED IN ENGLAND.— In 1825, there were made and consumed, in this country, 16,209,996 gallons of malt and grain spirit. In 1827, the quantity consumed exceeded 24 millions of gallons. Add to this quantify that of the spirits, duty paid for home consumption last year, viz. rum, 3,288,606 gallons; brandy and geneva, 1,373,156 gallons; making a total annual consumption of 38,661,762 gallons of ardent spirits in the United Kingdom. The lowering of the duties which took place in 1825 is ihe principal cause of this increase. M. Roger, an officer of engineers in the service of ihe S* iss confederal ion, has lately taken means to ascertain with great exactness ihe height of Mont Blanc above the Lake of Geneva, and the height of the Lake of Geneva above Ihe sea. The result of his measurement is, that the summit of Mont Blanc is nearly 4* 435 metres, or about 14,542 English feet, above ihe lake of Geneva; aud that the lake of Geneva is 367 metres, or aboul 1,233 English feet, above the sea ; and consequently, that Mont Blanc is 4,811 metres, or aboul 25,775 English feet above the level of the sea. DIED. On Sunday, the27th nit. at his house in the Crescent, Salford, Manchester, in his 85th year, Bauntesey Hulme, Esq. formerly a merchant in that town, but who had, suuie years ago, retired from business wilh an honourable independence. Nearly fifty years ago Mr. Hulme failed in business, owing to the misconduct of one of his partners, aud, on surrendering ihe remnant of his property lo his creditors, received a release from his engagements. Shortly afterwards he again com- menced business under more favourable auspices; and his exertions having been attended with success, he paid to the creditors of the firm which failed his pro- portion ( theie having been three partners) of ihe loss which they had sustained, together with interest; and, at a subsequent period, he paid the proportions of his two partners, also with interest up lo the time of pay. ment ; on which occasion his creditors presented him with a piece of plate. On the 21st ult. at Baoup, in the Forest of Rossen- dale, in the 96th year of his age, Richard Lord, com- monly called Dick o'Matls. Me was never known to he tipsy, drink spirits, or quarrel, in his life, and was never twenty miles from the place of his birth. He read the Bible without spectacles the day before his death. He was father, grandfather, great grandfather, great- great grandfather, and great- great- great grand- father to 120, all of whom are living, and most of them attended the funeral. A remarkable, though not unprecedented, occrir-' rence happened ou Monday, in the county of Ross. As Major Forbes Mackeuzie, of Fodderty in Stratli- peffer, was traversing a field on his farm, he was not a little surprised to fiud a considerable portiou of the ground covered with herring fry, of from three to four inches each in length. The fish were fresh aud entire, and had no appearance of being dropped by birds— a medium by which they must have been bruised and mutilated. The only rational conjecture that can be formed of the circumstance i » that the fish were transported thither iu a water- spout— a phenomenon that has before occurred in this county, and which is by no means uncommon in tropical climates. The Frith of Dingwall lies at the distance of three miles from the place in question; but no obstruction occurs between the field and the sea— the whole is a level straith or plain— and waterspouts have been known to carry even farther thau this. Major Mackenzie has for- warded a small quantity of the fish to the secretary of the Northern Institution. We have just inspected them, and can assure our readers, that— though the fry would go but a small way towards satisfying a few hungry gillies— they will abundantly gratify the curiosity of every visitor.— Inverness Courier. LIFE IN CAMP.— 44 How merrily we live that soldiers be."—' The delightful narrative of Black- wood's Subaltern, has given to the public an agreeable notion of the manner of life in the Britjsh army, while serving in the Peninsula. The follow- ing is au extract from the Marquis of Londonderry'* Sarrative, just published, lu this extract a similar picture is drawn of life in camp, to that which we have from the pen of the Subaltern:—' 14 In the precediug pages, my narrative has beeu so com pletely confined to a detail of the great cperatious of the army, and of the results arisiug out of them, that I have as yet found no opportunity of making the reader acquainted with the general mode and style of living adopted at this time among the staff and other officers. It may be sufficient to state here, that no set of persons could more industri- ously strive to unite mirth with hardships, and- relaxation with severe duty. For some time we coutented ourselves with keeping pointers and greyhounds, and iudulging, as often as opportu- nities afforded, in the sports of shooting, coursing,, and fishing; but now a taste for hunting began to prevail amongst us, and fox- hounds and harriers, more or less numerous and good, were established in the different divisions of the army. At head- quarters we were fortunate enough - to become possessed of an excellent pack, which afforded us much amusement, and occupied time which would otherwise have hung heavily ou our hands; and it is worthy of remark, that into such minor undertak- ings no man entered more heartily than our leader. It was during this summer that he first iuafituted the custom, which he never afterwards laid aside, of throwing off at settled points, on established days in every week, whilst the army was not in the field; and the incidents, replete with mirth,> to which these meetings gave rise, are far too nu- merous to be recorded, though they will be long remembered. Then in our quarters we lived" gaily and well. A spirit of good fellowship and hospi- tality every where prevailed; and in the midst of war, balls, private theatricals, and agreeable par- ties, were things of continual occurrence. It is necessary to add, that this system, whilst it de- tracted in no degree from the discipline aud effi- ciency of the troops, spread abroad among those who came under its iufluence, the very beat disposi- tion and temper, and all men learned really to love their occupation, even at its most trying moments, from the recollection of the many enjoyments of which it was the parent." NOVEL LAUNCH AT LIVERPOOL.— A beautiful yacht, thirty- five tons register burthen, has been built in the yard of Messrs Taggart and Co. m Robert- stre. et North, near to the Prince's Dock. On Thursday night, after dark, she was placed upon the ways, which had been laid iivthe street, aud the workmen began the arduous task of con- veying her to the river. On Friday morning they recommenced their labour, and, late iu the after- noon, they had reached the margin of the Prince's Basin, which is about three hundred yards from the building- yard. Next day, the ways having been completed, and exteuded over the quay several yards, every thing was ready for the launch, the hatches and companion having been caulked down, to prevent the water getting into the hold. Three men volunteered to go on the deck, and the work- men began to propel her along the way, an immense crowd of spectators watching the novel operation. As soon as the vessel, in proceeding along the way, had lost the ceutreof gravity, she was precipitated, stern first, from a height of ten feet, into the water of the basin, nearly the whole of the hull going under water, and the men on board receiving a complete ducking. The spectacle was highly interesting, and gratified a multitude of spectators who lined the quays of the basin. The vessel is named the Willing Maid, aud is intended for the Liverpool Yacht Club, now formingon the Mersey. STATE OF TRADE.— The state of trade in this town is much worse just now than it has been for some months past. Since the uncertainty which exists respecting the probable issue of the differ- ences with Turkey took place, there has been a very decided interruption to the regular operations of commerce with that country. A considerable busiuess in manufactures has been carried on by some of the German and Swiss States with the dominions of Turkey, and as this business is now prevented, the German and Swiss manufacturers have no demand for the articles with which they were supplied from this country, and which were required by them for that trade. Besides this cause, the disturbed state of Portugal has entirely interrupted the trade with that country; and for some weeks past the accounts from the North American States have been very unfavouiable. It is to the combination of these very uutoward circumstances that the present staguation of our export trade may be justly attributed.— Manchester Gazette.
