The very rapid and unprecedented sale of this work, with the following- flattering notices from the public Journals, is a fair criterion of its merits. From the John Bull, Feb. 3d, 1828. We have just seen the First Part of a new Periodical, illustrated with splendid Engravings, called * THE OLIO, or Museum of Entertainment,* which fully hears out the title— being, indeed, a rich selection, gleaned from the most valuable works of esteemed authors; and which, if continued in ihe style and spirit it has commenced, cannot fail of securing- that patronage to which it appears so justly entitled.

THE PUBLISHER'S ADDRESS. ON the Appearance of the Sixth Edition of Part ihe First of the LONDON ENCYCLOPEDIA, the Proprietor feels it incumbent upon him to offer bis grateful Acknowledgments to the Public, for the un- exampled Success which his arduous Undertaking has hiiherlo experienced ; a Success which in Ihe best and most flourishing Times could scarcely have been anticipated : but which, under the sudden, severe, and protracted Cheek which the Trade of the King dmn has received, is altogether without precedent This m„ s| welcome and efficient Testimony of pnbli ir he chiefly attributes to Ihe Plan ot th ;_ its Adapta'tion in Form, in Substance, and in to the largest Portion of ihe Reading Commit- ^ alcjs by miction.

The House, which is in good Repair, contains an Entrance Hall, two Parlours, Kitchen, Pantry, & e. & c. upon the Ground Floor, and good Cellaring underneath ; a Drawing Room and four best Bed Rooms upon the first Floor, aud four good Sleeping Rooms for Servants in the Attics ; with Brewhouse and Washhouse detached, and will be found well adapted for the Residence of a Family of Respect- ability. For a View apply at the Premises; and for fur- ther Information to Mr. ROGER WATTERS, Proprietor, Coldbatch, near Bishop's Castle; or to Mr. WILLIAM URWICK, Solicitor, at his Office iu Ludlow or Bishop's Castle. This m. » st welcome and efficient Favour, he chiefly attributes to tbe Work Price, r. ir . nity ; and above all, to the zealous and anxious Care • ith which he has uniformly watched over its Pro- gress, and the Solicitude which he has ever cherished, rather to exceed his Engagements, than to fall short of them. Encouragement is the Soul of Enterprise; and the Publisher has been stimulated by extraor- dinary Patronage to make unremitting Exertions, and even Sacrifices, iu order to secure and deserve it in a far more extended Degree. Thus, instead of appro- priating the present Profits of the Undertaking, he has invariably thrown them back upon the Work itself; and he trusts, Improvement in the Variety, the Originality, and the Accuracy of the Articles iu each Department, is visible 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 he has engaged. Yet he imagines that, without Presump- tion, fie may affirm, that iu ail tbe essential Requisites g& mOWaaiaUtiB* BY R.

The subjects are selected with great taste, which with the graphic illustrations, and tbe excellence of the printing, render it a very desirable periodical for every class of general readers. From the Age, Feb. 24th, 1828. A very entertaining and well- selected cheap period- ical, entitled * THE OLIO,' has just made its appear- ance, and is really a literary curiosity, both in respect to printing, embellishment, and talent. From the Weekly Dispatch, Feb. 24th, 1828. One of the neatest little publications of the day is 4 THE OLIO;' the wood engravings with which it is decorated, are beautifully executed; and for clever originality aud judicious selection, it is really unrivalled. From the Public Ledger, Feb. 2btli, 1828. 4 THE OLIO.' — A very interesting publication, under this title, has made its appearance, which well deserves further support. The publisher has bestowed consider- able pains iu the embellishments, which are really well executed ; the type and paper also do him great credit. From ihe Standard, Fch. Zbth, 1828. A very clever and ingenious little collection of agree- able extmets from various sources, under the name of 4 THE OLIO,' has just appeared. We are particularly struck by tbe excellent style iu which tbe wood- cuts are executed and printed. We really do not know any where to look for any thing of the kind superior. From the British Traveller, Ftb. lbth, 1828. Among the multitude of cheap periodicals of the Miscellaneous class, we have scarcely noticed any superior, both iu selection of mutter, aud the gelling up of the work, than 4 THE OLIO.' From the Globe and Traveller, Feb. lbth, 1828. 4 THE OLIO,' a clever and useful little periodical, gives the following anecdote of Dr. Fuller, & c. From the Courier, Feb. 26th, 1828. The'following Anecdote we copy from 4 THE OLIO,' of Saturday last, as a specimen of the contents of that new, cheap, aud singularly elegant publication. From the Sun, March 12th, 1828. ' THE OLIO ; or, Museum of Entertainment.' It is a pleasant rambling miscellany, containing a varied • election of Tales, Anecdotes, Historiettes, small Poems, & e. The Wood Engravings are excellent. The type also of the work deserves praise, it is clear, and neatly executed. From BelVs Weekly Messenger, March 24th, 1828. It is not often we have to notice so spirited a publica- tion as THE OLIO. The embellishments would do credit to the first works of Art, independent of the literary matter, which is both instructive and interest- ing, and for beauty of type aud execution, not excelled by any publication.

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. Tjie Publisher does not arrogate to himself tbe M. f. rit of disinterested Generosity in having thus for the present relinquished pecuniary Advantages, to which he had a reasonable Claim. He willingly icknowledges that 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 sooner or later insure ample Compensation ami Reward. Now tnat the Work is thus far advanced, and its Publication has been punctual and regular, the Proprietor trusts that those who become Purchasers, lest the Speculation should fail, will no longer apprehend a Result, to avert which, were it necessary, he would readily sacrifice all the Property he possesses in the World. He has em- barked in the Undertaking, and the Arrangements for its Completion are as perfect and as stable as any Thing which Man can devise or accomplish.

The humble Memorial of the Country Bankers in Eng- lancf and Wales . , SHEWETH, That tbe Banking System established in this country forms n most important and essential part of its commercial economy ; that tbe Bank of England has heretofore been principally engaged in performing the functions of a State Bank, and iu trausaciing business iu London : the Country Banks have been the medium of the most important pecuniary trans- actions in all other parts of ihe kingdom; and with this system are intimately connected the prosperity of trade, the support of agriculture, the increase of gene- ral improvement, aud the productiveness of the national revenue. That an important and extraordinary change in the system was suggested bv the First Lord of the Trea. snry and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, upon the most erroneous conception of tbe actual slate of the case; general charges of misconduct iu the practice of Country Bankers, which were groundless, formed the basis upon which a new system was proposed and undertaken; and your Memorialists cannot refrain from pressing upon the attention of your Lordships, that, bad due inquiry into the subject preceded the suggestion, the measure of establishing Branch Banks Would not have taken place. Your Memorialists beg further to state to your Lordships, that should these Branches, conducted by Directors not personally responsible, succeed, by means of exclusive advantages, in their apparent object of supplanting the existing banking- establish, ments, the Bank of England will thereby be rendered masters of the circulation of the country, which it will be enabled to contrail and expand at pleasure, and thus be armed with a tremendous power and influence, dangerous lo ihe stability of property, and ihe inde- pendence of the Country; a powri which, if this Cor- poration is suffered to exercise uncontrolled during the unexpired term of their exclusive privileges, will place them in a situation to dictate terms to the Government, and thus Virtually, if not by Statute, render their monopoly perpetual. Then will the value and rental of land, ihe value of all domestic produce, and of all commodities consumed at home, the Revenue of the Stale, the wages of labour, and the employment of the poor, lie made to fluctuate ace nd ng to the secrel aud uncontrolled regulations of Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Your Memorialists, therefore, deeply regret that your Lordships do not feel justified in adopting measures for the withdrawal of Branch Banks; and they hope that your Lordships will he pleased, as far as lies in your Lordships' power, to prevent any interference with the business of your Memorialists ; aud that your Lordships will he pleased to institute an inquiry into the system of country banking, and lake into your Lordships' consideration the claims of the country bankers to be regnrded as parties iu the intended application for the renewal ot ihe Bank Charier ; and that no special privilege or monopoly be granted or continued lo ihe Governor and Company of the Bank of England ; t » ui that they may he placed on a perfect equality with Country Bankers in ihe competition which, by means of their Branch Bunks, they are now carrying on with your Memorialists.

SNOW DON. before his in his sixty- le between the Turks his activity and intriguing spi- rit recommended him to the highest situation in the state; and, by the crafty counsel of a ( super- subtle' Italian ( now the French consul Alexandria), he maintained himself in the govern ment in defiance of the Beys; and, at last, with the connivance of the Porte.— The Beys he treacherously murdered, while regaling themselves at an entertainment to which he had invited them us friends and guests, and in his own house, his treasures had become sufficiently large to tempt hip sovereign, the Sultan, to destroy him, every means were used to murder him in his turn'; but every stratagem failed. The Captain Pasha could never decoy Mohammed Ali on board his frigate; and two of his emissaries, who were detected with the hatti- sheriff or order for execution, in their turbans, were thrown into the Mile. Mohammed Ali, notwithstanding, ceased not to be a good Mussulman; he paid a larger tribute lo Con- stantinople than any of his predecessors; and he not only defrayed the expense of the war against the Wahabees in Arabia, but latterly also sup- ted the equipment of the Turkish fleet. Drovetti, his Italian councillor, first por Si The following extraordinary particulars of the me of Victoria, b'ne of the chiefs in the revolution of Mexico, are related, by Mr. Wardc, in his work oil Mexico, recently published:— In the course of the year 181 f>, , mo* f of his old soldiers fell: those by whom he replaced them, had neither the same enthusiasm nor the same attarhinertt to his person. The sseal wifh w hich the inhabitants had engaged in t? ie cause Of the revolution, vfas worn out; with each reverse their discouragement increas- ed.; and, as the disastrous accounts from the interior left them but little hope of bringing the Contest to a favourable issue, t! ie villages refused to furnish any farther supplies.; the last remnant of Victoria's fofc lowers deserted Mm, and fie was Ipft absolutely alone- Still, bis courage was unsubdued, and his resolution not to yield, on any tefins, to the Spaniards, unshaken. He refused the rank and rewards which Apodaca prof- fered as the price of Iris sulmn^ siori, and determined to seek art asylum in the cfolitrtde of the forests, rather than accept the indnlfoj cfit fhe faith of which so many of the insurgents yielded up their arms. This extraordinary project was carried into execution with a decision highly characteristic of the man. Unac- companied by a single attendant, and provided only with a little linen and a sword, Victoria threw himself into the mountainous district which occupies so large a portion of the province of Vera Cruz, aud disap- peared from the eyes of his countrymen. His after- history is so extremely wild, that I should hardly venture to relate it here, did not the unanimous evi- dence of his. countrymen confirm the story of his suf- ferings, as I have often heard it from his own mouth. During the first few weeks, Victoria was supplied with provisions by the Indians, who all knew and re- spected his name ; but Apodaca was so apprehensive that he would again emerge from his retreat, that a thousand men were ordered out, iu small detachments, literally to hunt him down. Wherever it was dis- covered that a village had either received him, or re lieved his wants, it was burnt without mercy, and this rigour struck the Indians with such terror, that they either fled at the sight of Victoria, or were the first to denounce the approach of a man whose presence might prove so fatal to them. For upwards of six months he was followed like a wild beast by his pur- suers, who were often so near him, that he could hear their imprecations against himself, and Apodaca too, for having condemned them to so fruitless a search.- At last a story was made up, to satisfy the viceroy, of a body having been found, which had been re* cognized as that of Victoria, A minute description was given of his person, which was inserted officially in the Gazette of Mexico, and the troops were recalled to more pressing labours in the interior. But Victo- ria's trials did not cease with the pursuit: harassed and worn out by the fatigues which he had under- gone, his clothes torn to pieces, and his body lacerate< t by the . thorny underwood of the tropics, he was in- deed allowed a little tranquillity, but his suffering* were still almost incredible: during the summer, he managed to subsist upon the fruits of which nature is so lavish in those climates; but in winter he was at- tenuated by hunger, and I have heard him repeatedly affirm, that no repast has afforded him so much pleasure since, as he experienced, after being long deprived of food, in gnawing the bones of horses, or other animals, that he happened to find dead in the woods. By degrees he accustomed himself to such abstinence, that he could remain four, and even five days, without tasting any thing but water, without experiencing any serious inconvenience; but when- ever he was deprived of sustenance for a longer period, his sufferings were very acute. For thirty month" he never tasted bread, nor saw a human being,- nor thought, at times, ever to see one again. His clothes were reduced to a single wrapper of cotton, which he found one day, when, driven by hunger, he had approached nearer than usual to some Indian' huts, and this he regarded as an inestimable treasure. The mode in which Victoria, cut off, as he was, from all communication with the world, received intelli- gence of the revolution of 1821, is hardly less ex- traordinary than the fact of his having been able to' support existence amidst so many hardships, during the intervening period. When in 1818, he was abandoned by all the rest of his men, he was asked by two Indians, who lingered with him to the last, and on whose fidelity he knew that he could relv, if any change took place, where he wished them to look for him ? He pointed, in reply, to a mountain at some' d'stance, and told them that, on that mountain, per- haps, they might find his bones. His only reason for selecting it, was its being particularly rugged and in- accessible, and surrounded by forests of vast extent. The Indians treasured up this hint, and as soon as the first news of lturbide's declaration reached them, they set out in quest of Victoria: they separated on arriv- ing at the foot of the mountain, and employed six whole weeks in examining the woods with which it was covered : during this time, they lived principally by the chase; but finding their stock of maize ex-< hausted, and all their efforts unavailing, they were suggested the organization of a regular army and to give up the attempt, when one of them " . .... /> . u llm ni. iintPlUlliPf1 nt it . l : ... _• I. • l IT- I MO COVER, THIS SEASON ( 1828), at] I PIMLEY, two Miles from Shrewsbury, and at Mr. CLAY'S Veterinary Infirmary, WTIYI, THE CELEBRATED GREY HORSE Thorough- bred Mares Five Guineas, o'her Mares Three Guineas ; Groom's Fee, Five Shillings.

When it is understood, however, that neither fleet nor army lias been paid for two years, the discon- tent of both may be easily conceived. At the com. mencement of its existence, the new army was generally supposed to be raised f r the purpose of assisting him to accomplish his independence; but to make war on the infidels ( tbe great precept of the Koran) was the object nearest his heart; and to sccure for his step- son, Ibrahim, the possession and government of Greece, was the next object of his desire. I heard him with my own ears declare to our late Consul- general in Egypt, Mr. Salt, that he expected to conquer the Morea iu two months; aud when the latter gentleman expressed a doubt whether this were practicable, the Pasha replied, that the French officers and the Consul had assured him of its being easy But instead of two mouths to conquer Greece, his fleet took eleven mouths to t from Alexandria to Navarino, a voyage ap- proaching nearer to that of Ulysses than to any in modern history. Of l( i, 000 troops, 7000 perished ere they reached their destination. Three re- inforcements were dispatched in the space of three years and a half; and of 32,0110 men iu all, who sailed from Alexandria, about 11,000 only returned. The deluded Viceroy was led to believe, that his wretched Egyptian Arabs ( in a regiment so maimed and disfigured, that it would be difficult lo find a single man in it free from all ailments) were the finest soldiers in the world, and capable of going into the field against all " the dogs of Europe." But, alas! the glory of the slaughter at Missoloughi is all that is left to compensate him for the ruin of his military hopes, and the emptiness of his ex hausted cotters. His prime minister, an Armenian, plans a thousand projects to replenish the drained treasury of his master, and when he fails, he has lo tremble for the safety of his head. On one occasion, he was put into a sack, and carried on the Nile, for the purpose of being thrown in ; but the executioners were pre- vailed on, by immense bribes, to relent; aud the Pasha, knowing his value, and the difficulty of finding a substitute, not only forgave him, but re- ceived him again into his favour. The uufortnnat executioners, however, who had failed to f. ilfil th tyrant's mandate, met the fate that was intended for the minister, aud were themselves consigned to a watery grave. discovered, iti crossing a ravine which Victoria occasionally frequented, the print of a foot, which he immediately recognised to lie that of a European. By European, I mean of European descent, and con- sequently accustomed to wear shoes, which always gives a difference of shape to the foot, very perceptible to the eye of a native. The Indian waited two days upon the spot; but seeing nothing of Victoria, and finding his supply of provisions quite at an end, he suspended upon a tree near the place four tortillas, or little maize cakes, which were all lie had left, and set out for his village, in order to replenish his wallets, hoping that if Victoria should pass in the mean time, the tortillas would attract bis attention, aud convince him that some friend was in search of him. His little plan succeeded completely : Victoria, on crossing the ravine two days afterwards, perceived the maize cakes, which the birds had fortunately not devoured. He had then been four whole days without eating, and upwards of two years without, tasting bread; and he says himself, that he devoured the tortillas before the cravings of his appetite would allow him to reflect upon the singularity of finding them on this solitary spot, where he had never before seen any trace of a human being. He was at a loss to detennine whether they had been left there by friend or foe ; but feeling sure, that whoever had left them intended to return, he concealed himself near the place, in order to ob- serve his motions, and to take iiis own measures ac- cordingly- Within a short time the Indian returned j Victoria instantly recognised him, and abruptly started from his concealment, ill order to welcome his faithful follower; but the man terrified at seeing a phanto n, with hair, emaciated, and clothed only with old cotton wrapper, advancing upon liini with a sword in his hand from amongst the bushes, took to flight; and it was only on hearing himself repeatedly called hv his name, that he recov ered his composure sufficiently to recognise his old general. He was affected hevond measure at the state in which he found him, and conducted him instantly to his village, where Victoria was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The last quarter of the Marquis Camden's contri- bution to the public was paid a few days ago, which completes the eleventh year since his Lordship has paid his receipts and emoluments beyond the regu- lated salary, as Teller of the Exchequer, to the public service. That sum has amounted in eleven years to £ 100,156. 3 » . 2d. His Ijird- ihip also contri- buted before the peace of Paris £ 43,107. 0s. 7d. amounting in all to the sum of £ 143,563. 3s. 9d. The Galway Independent gives us an account of another auto da fe lately performed by a Roman Catholic parish priest in that nrighlioiirhood. It appears that his reverence the P. P. detected his own clerk in the act of reading the Bible : and so shocked was this gootlty pastor at the occurrence, that he most reverentially aud instantaneously committed the sicrcd volume— tbe holy revelation of his God and Redeemer— to the flames !! Comment on such a transaction would he an insult to the understanding of our readers. And are fliese BibV - burn-: rs to become the legislators for a Christian people ? Heaven, in its i ifinite merCy, avert such a misfortune! But, to say the truth, we can discover but a very slight shade of difference between his reverence of Rahoon's act, and the celebrated B ble- and- toixis affair, of which J. K. L. spoke in terms of high commendation.— Dublin Evening Packet. BALOFIAW JOURNAL. AM © COUKfEi OF WAILED Imperial Uaiiiauuiit. HO USE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. ALEHOUSE LICENSING BILL. After a debute of some length, Mr. Eslcourt's Ale. house Licensing Bill ( see 4th page) went through its second reading, and was order* d for committal on the 6tb of June. Mr. R. A. SLANEY said, considering this hill was to ie « jwhite the supply of the second necessary of life for the whole kingdom, it indst he thought Of immense importance; the principle of the hill appeared to him to he contrary to• thooe laws of demand aud supply balancing each other, which regulate so ndrili. ra. bly the price of all other commodities. As a matter of police it was no doubt necessary that magistrates should have a power over public- bouses to lay down rules to. be observed for their good conduct y but as a regulalion its to tlie supply vof mall liquor, such a power was, iu his opinion, unnecessary. Every peisbn who was disposed to embark his properly in these houses might to be at liberty to do so on his being of good character, and giving security to pay nt ten lion- to the i ules and legnlations which it might he found necessary'to- prescribe ; but the magistrates ought nut to have t! ie power ( under swell conditions)-; of withholding tii « j license. Ii v\ as said, indeed, llial Mich sin open trade would increase intoxication ; but from this opinion lie differed : in fccoiland and on the Continent where such was the case inebriety did not, follow. There were many practical evils in the present ' licensing system— one Was, that it deprived the working classes of the benefit that would be derived front a free' competition in the sale of beer, the secouii necrssary of life. He had collected some curious information on the subject, which might not. perhaps, he unacceptable to the House. By returns presented last year, it appeared, lhat iu sixty collec- tions of excise into which England and Wales was « ' i vided ( ftf- cluding London) there were above 49,500 publicans, of u bom ' 23,000 ( above half the country) publicans brewed their own beer. The country in fliis respect was curiously marked into six districts, like zones in a map. Three of these might be termed lu'ewers* districts,, and three genuine beer- districts. The first brewers* district included London, in which there were 4430 publicans, of whom only thirty- nine brewed iheir own beer. The second brewers1 distiict fhcloded the comities of Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hants, the Isle of Wight, Berks, Herts, Middlesex, Essex, And Cambridgeshire, to Lynn and Norwich, in Norfolk, which is the farthest point, comprising 9984 publicans, of. whom only 820 ( or about one twelfth part) brew at home. The third brewers* province comprises North- nthberland, Westmoreland, Cumberland* and Dur- ham, vVbiiby, Halifax, and so to Hull, in Yorkshire, and reaches across the kingdom to Manchester and i. i- verpool, containing about 5870 publicans, of whom ? 87 ( or less than one. seventh) brew at home. In the whole of these three districts there are. about 20,2W) publicans, of whom 1636 ( or less than one in twelve) brew at home. But this vast space, containing be. fiver n four and five millions of people, is supplied almost exclusively by 825 brewers out of London and 103 in London, only 928 altogether. Having seen the state of 20 colleciious of excise in ihe brewers'' dis- tricts, 1 now turn to 20 of genuine beer. The first begins sit Coventry, includes great part of the counties of Warwick, Gloucester, Hereford, and Worcester, a small part of Cheshire, ail the county of Salop ( which is the centre and stronghold ftf the genuine ale district)', and all Wales. The second tract of home- brewed beer extends from Derby ( by Leeds and Halifax) to Lancaster, crossing a brewer's district The third genuine beer province reaches from Wel- lington, in Somersetshire ( through Exeter and the country about, it) to Barnstaple, in Devonshire. In these three districts there are about 14,890 publicans, of whom 12,54') brew at home, or six out of seven. But in Wales, Shropshire, and the Shropshire side of Worcestershire ( about Stourbridge), hardly one pub- lican in twenty hut brews at home, and ihe ale is of excellent quality ; and if gcnlloinon doubt it, he hoped they will only try it. Except in these six districts or zones, thete is no great preponderance either towards brewers or I be home- brewed beer. 5: 1 those places where no brewers' monopoly took place ( which is aided by the present licensing system) the malt liquor is much heller in every respect. Ffwe take ihe number of public- bouses at 50,000' for round numbers, there can be no doubt- thai the rent of each was on an average £ 20 per annum more for the. license, ami this must be paid by the consumer, which is an additional tax of one million for ibis exclusive system. Now the malt duty, beer duly, hop duly, and different licenses to brewers, publicans, & x\* amount to £ 7,737,000, paid by the consumers of malt liquor, is it politic to add to this vast sum a million more by this system? 7' be evil of these enormous taxes on this one article is shew n by the people having recourse to ardent spirits ; for it is a singular fact, that whilst every other maiiuNic ute has augmented within the last 40 years ( many having quadrupled in amount), whilst population has greatly increased, and many inclosures have added to the cultivated land of the country, that malt ( ihe only great manufacture appertaining to the landed interest) has remained stationary, the number of quarters in 1787 being nearly the same as in 1826— in the former v< ar 3,400, MM), iu the latter 3,600,000. On these grounds he thought the bill defective, but, having s'ated these facts for consideration, would not oppose il by dividing the House. HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. After some other miscellaneous business, Mr. PEEI, obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the more easy re eovery of small debts in the County Court's of England and Wales. The object of the Bill he meant to bring in was, to leave the jurisdiction with the County Courts, but to increase iheir power of deciding from cases of 40s. lo £ 10 The whole process to be of the most simple kind, aud tiie fees all fixed on the lowest scale. Juries to be allowed iu certain cases • and the remedy, iu no case, to he against the person, but the goods of the debtor. The grant to Mr. Canning's family was again brought forward, when upon the bringing up. of the Report, Mr. HVMK, after repeating his objection to the grant, proposed as an amendment that ihe Report should be read a second time thai day three months. Upon this amendment a discussion of some length took place; but ultimately the amendment was negatived on a division, by 73 lo 14, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. Lord NCGENT rose- for leave lo bring in a Bill to give to all Cities, Boroughs, and Cinque Ports, a re- gistry of the names and descriptions of persons entitled lo vole for Members of Parliament. The outline of the Bill was, that a Registrar should be appointed in each city or borough, and that he should be compelled to hold a court four times a year, for the purpose of entering voters properly qualified; that a- severe fine should be imposed for any false entry, or for fraudu- lently erasing or inserting any names ; that a certifi- cate of registration should be given lo each voter upon the payment of a small fee, which certificate should be held of equal value with the register as evidence of qualification. He intended to propose that. no person should be entitled to vote until lie had been registered twelve months, unless the right was obtained by tin- purchase of property. He intended to put an end to the practice of examining qualifications at Ihe moment of taking the poll, which would have the effect of pro- ducing a diminution of the time in which polls were taken. If the Bill were allowed to pass, he believed it would operate as a check to the perjury, the con- fusion, and the excesses of every kind which now pre- vailed at elections.— Leave given. BR LETS. Mr. Secretary PEEL obtained leave to bring in a Bill for ihe abolition of Church Briefs, which were any thing but effective for the purposes intended. He proposed to abolish the system altogether ; but in order to admit of voluntary contributions for enlarging and repairing chinches, lie would, when his Maj'- esty was pleased to issue letters in these cases, authorise ihe payments to be made to the Society for Enlarging Churches, and the . distribution to be made by ihetn. In presenting a petition, Mr. ATTWOOD entered into a long Statement to prove the necessity of suspend- ing the operation of the Small Note Abolition Act until ihe trade and commerce of the country were in a more flourishing condiliou. He particularly repro- bated the continuance of small notes in Scotland and Ireland, while I he v were suppressed in England.— Mr Secretary PEEL complained of ihe introduction of so important a discussion on presenting a petition, aud declined entering into ihe subject. On the motion of Mr, SLANI Y, a Select Committee was appointed lo inquire into that part of the Poor Laws relating to able- bodied paupers. HOUSE OF LORDS - FRIDAY. Earl DARNLEY inquired whether government had taken any steps to liberate the Greeks who had been carried by force into Egypt, and to prevent the recur- rence of a like atrocity. The answer of the Duke of W ELLINGTON was, that measures had been taken as far as possible lo remedy the misfortune which bad occurred ; aud that orders had been sent out which would effectually prevent such outrages for the future, lu reply to a question from Viscount Strangford, Far I DUDLEY stated that peace between Buenos Ay res and Brazil had not jet been concluded by the parties in London, but that negociations were going on, with a belter prospect of ending in peace than auv wbic| i had heretofore been entered into.— The House on rising adjourned to Monday, the 2d of June. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. Some conversation took place le. lative to the Mil- bank Penitentiary, which was declared to have cost the country five or six hundred thousand pounds, and to put it lo a constant charge of £ 25,000 a year. On vshieh Mr HOIJHM'SE ol s> rved that it had failed of obtaining its humane and moral purposes altogether. A good deal of routine and miscellaneous business was got through. T he new Corn Bill was; read a third time and passed, with slight discussion ; the Canning Pension Bill also passed without deba'e The consideration of the Miscellaneous Estimates, the Bankers' Amendment, and olher Bills, was deferred until after the recess. The House adjourned until Friday, the 30th of May. LON DON— £ ATU K D AY, MA Y 24. Oc 39mfnt0tratfoiu We noticed in our last Journal, that on the ques- tion of disfranchising East Retford, the House of Commons had, on a division, determined by a major- ity, thut the franchise should be extended to the adjoining Hundred, instead of being transferred to Birmingham.— It is said, that the question bad been previously discussed in - full Cabinet by Ministers, wh e si it was determined to adopt that view " of the subject which went to open the franchise to the adjoining Hundred ; and in consequence, when the division took place in the Commons, Sir. Peel and Mr. Goulhurn voted in the majority against the proposed transfer to Birmingham ; but Ah\ H. uakis- son and Lord Palmerston voted in the minority. Disagreements are stated to have arisen in conse- quence; and it is said that Mr. Hnskisson, Lord Palmerston, and Mr. C. Grant, have resigned their Ministerial functions. Other resignations of those who are termed 4< liberals," have been also spoken of; but, with the exception of Mr. Huskisson'a retirement, the actual removals have not yet been publicly ascertained. BUSSIA AND TURKEY. We last week announced the certainty of hostilities being on the eve of commencement, and have to- day the painful duty of informing our readers that official news has since readied this country of Russia having " let slip the dogs of war," who doubtless ere this have fleshed themselves in Moslem blood. On the 7th. inst. Count Pahlin, the recently elected Russian Governor of Wallachia and Moldavia, entered Jassy, the capital of the latter province, at the head of 5000 men ; and by the same official communication we are assured that the Russian army was to cross the Pruth at Galata on the 6th and take possession of Brachlow. Up to the date of these despatches, which were received at the Foreign Office from Lord Cowley, our Ambassador at Vienna, late on Thursday after- noon, no opposition whatever had been offered on the part of the Turks. Indeed, opposition was not to be expected, nor can be, until the Russian hordes have penetrated many hundred miles farther into the interior; since it appears that the Sultan has mustered his main force at Adrianople, at which place, in all probability, the " tug of war will begin." Perhaps, all circumstances considered, Turkey presents no position so favourable to an enraged army, and it is doubtless on account of its natural advantages that the Sultan has taken tip hi « headquarters' there. Some of the best informed among our London contemporaries appear to think that the physical obstacles which intervene between the more northern provinces of Turkey at present occupied by the Russian army, and Adrianople, are of so insurmountable a nature as to prevent the progress of their march, and ground a hope on this supposition, that open hostilities may yet be averted. For our own parts, we must confess, we cannot, but. consider such hope as altogether delu- sive ; we believe the barbarous but impassioned squadrons of the Czar would hew a path through " many times their stay." Certainly between Jassy and Bucharest, and, indeed, for many miles to the south of the Danube, no physical difficulty of any magnitude presents itself. The natural barriers that then occur are without doubt of the most gigantic nature— the towering ranges of the cloud- capped Mount Haemus, which on all sides intersect the road, and the swampy, pestilential plains arid marshes by which their bases are environed, must prove highly disastrous to an invading army; but we must not forget that both in ancient as in modern times— the Alps— the Pyremiees — and even the Caucasus, have beeh crossed by armies not a whit better disciplined, and certainly not incited by a stronger thirst for con- quest and plunder, than are the mighty hosts led on to victory by the ambitious Autocrat. In speculating on the probable chances of the present war, we ought also to remember that, numbers of the soldiers at this moment on their march to Constantinople, have experienced the delights of European conquest. Our readers will not have forgotten the manner in which the Cossacks comported themselves during the memo- rable time the allied armies were encamped at Paris— at the time when that peace was consolidated, which the blind policy of our late " liberal Government," and the equally blind, but we grieve to say it, the more justifiable ambition on the part of Russia have so unhappily broken. What obstacles then, we would ask, would be sufficient to check the progress of men, whose imaginations have been wrought upon by the luxurious riches which await their grasp in the Ottoman capital? But an innate love of plunder is not the only incitement which urges them on to eon- quest. The present war has been represented to the Russian soldiery as a religious crusade, and medals have actually been struck, on the obverse of which, a young crusader is presented with a sword by a female figure representing the Christian religion, with the motto- " Gird on the sword," subscribed ! The Sultan, it is said, has prepared himself for the impend- ing sform l> 3' mustering a very strong array round the standard of the Prophet, and the troops, it is added, are boastful of their confidence re pecting the final results of the contest; but when the comparative v © Witness of the Otton- an power is put into the balance with the unprecedented and overwhelming numbers of the Rtissian forces, it becomes, in our opinion, no question, as to which side the scale will turn. The Court of King's Bench were occupied part o^ Wednesday last with a comical suit, preferred by a lady ( all women are ladies by courtesy) of 64, against a false suitor of 74, for breach of promise of marriage. The fair plaintiff was nonsuited. POST OFFICE ROBBERY.— On Monday, John Hunts, late a clerk iu the Two- penny Post- office, was re- examined and finally committed on a charge of stealing a letter containing bank notes and bills of exchange of the value of about £ 300. The prisoner had formerly been a clerk in the Post- office, Birmingham, at whkh place the robbery , vvas committed. The letter was addressed to Messrs,. Sheppard and Co. of Froitie, and was pii^ into the office at Coventry on the 24th of February; and in the regular course of business would arrive at Birmingham on the same day, aud be forwarded by mail the same night to Froine. At that time the j prisoner, it appeared, was on a visit at Birming- ham ; he frequently called at the Post- office, and on one occasion he assorted the letters at his own request: he then had the opportunity of taking any letter from Coventry. A £ 30 Bank of England note formed a part of the enclosure, and the same note was proved to have been changed in London at the desire of the prisoner; at his lodgings in the Kent road, a one pound Frome note was also found ; and both identified by the traveller of the firm to whom the letter was addressed. The prisoner, who offered t. o defence, was fully committed to take his trial at the next Warwick Assizes. By a Parliamentary paper just printed, it would appear that the Bank of England has made, in city phraseology, rather " a good thing" of its banking account with the public. This exceedingly shrewd and money- making corporation has been receiving, for the mere " management of the public debt," ( that is, for entering a certain number of names in a- book, and paying over to the parties entitled to them, certain sums issued four times a year by the Treasury,) no less than £ 260,000 per annum— equivalent to the interest of six millions and a half of money. We should think that the Treasury itself might execute that branch of its own business through a moderate number of clerks, whose salaries would not exceed £ 50,000 per annum. But this is not all. The same paper- issuing and money- receiving company has in its hands, according to the official documents, an average sum of no less than £ 4,000,000 sjeriingy the opportunity of turning which to profit cannot be estimated at any thing under £ 140,000 per annum. So here we have the Bank making of the nation an u: recompensed profit of about £ 350,000 per annum ; and this is what the people of the city call, with much reason, a mighty " good thing.'' We wonder how long it will continue.— Times. THE CURRENCY.— The struggle between the metropolis and the provinces has begun ! While the sentiments of Mr. Peel stand recorded in the limine of Commons, that he never will, under any circum- stances, consent to the postponement of the operation <- f the currency bill, and that now or never can this bill be carried into effect, the sentiments of the pro- vinces are equally explicitly declared, and meetings are taking place in. every town, from the Land's End to the borders of Scotland, at which petitions, pray'ing Parliament to rescue the country from the conse- quences of lhal impolitic measure, are voted by accla- mation. And at length that voice has been raised. The community of merchants, farmers, traders, and manufacturers, complain that the Branch Banks neither have afforded, nor can afford them any accom modation, and that if ihe currency bill be carried into effect, they will be reduced to much more seiious embarrassments atid privations than any they h^ v. e yet endured. Their sole dependence for pecuniary accommodation, and for a cheap medium of traffic,, is on the provincial banker ; and they represent that if his resources be narrowed, as they iuconteslabjy will be by ihe operation of ibis bill, it neither will hp the interest nor iu the power of their bankers to render them any available assistance. They have, therefore, come into the field to demand an alteration of the law ; and we soon shall see whether they have sufficient nerve to compel M r. Peel to relinquish bis intentions, and discover some more convenient remedy for what lie is pleased to call the tendency in the bank- note system to encourage over trading. They have the power to compel hi'in. They must hot forget this for a single moment. They have the remedy in their own hands, and if they act in a body, and instruct. Iheir representatives to support their cause in Parliament, they are just as sure to succeed as the Bankers 01 Scotland did iu 1826. The most valuable pari of the population of the kingdom is wiih- tlie . Count iy Bunkers on this point; the representation of the kingdom is in their hands; they can speak to the Minister in a voice that he must fear, and listen to while he fears ; and they can assume a tone which will either obtain for them their claims, or break up the administration The two patties are now drawn out, and many months will not elapse before the con- test be decided. The country, at length, as it used to do, will dictate to the Minister, and insist upon the • adoption of those measures which ' alone can save it from fresh calamities.— Watchman.

MANFION HOUSE DINNER.— A grand dinner was given at the Mansion House, by the Lord Mayor, on Wednesday last, to their Royal Highnesses the Duk's of Clarence and Cumberland, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Bathurst, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Elleuborough, Mr. Peel, Mr. Hemes, Mr. Gbulbur. i, and a distinguished party of nobility and gentry, aniqutUliig to near 300 persons.— The health of his Majesty was given with four times four, and was received with the most rapturous'applause. This was followed by the healths of the Dukes of Clarence and Cumberland, with three times three, which were most cordially cheered by the company. Their royal highnesses returned thanks in a most condescending manner. The health of his Grace the Duke ol Wellington was then proposed by the Lord Mayor, and it is impossible to describe the enthusiasm With which it was received throughout the room His Grace then rose to return thanks in a short and energetic speech, but on account of the rapturous and incessant cheering it was some minutes before he could pioceed. Nothing could be more gratifying than such a reception by such a company ; nothing could more fully evince the high opinion which is so universally entertained of his grace's transceudant merits and consummate wisdom. In him the country places the most unbounded confidence,- and we have no doubt that they will not be disappointed. A copy of the Country Bankers' Memorial to the Lords of the Treasury will be found in our 4th page. The following is a copy of the Duke of Wellington's answer :—" it could not be the object of Government " or of Parliament to injure the Country Bankers, " and that of course the interests of Country Bankers " would not be neglected in any negotiation between " Government and the Bank of England at the " renewal of the Bank Charter."

During the las- t two or three years, the crime of horse- stealing has prevailed to an extent scarcely to be credited : in the course of this time, probably thousands of horses have been stolen throughout England. So great has been the apprehension of losing these animals, that in many places persons have not ventured to turn them out into the fie lds, but h. ive been constrained to keep them in the stable on dry food, much to the injury of their health. The actual stealers of horses are generally low fellows of desperate character, who fetch them from different parts of the country, aud supply the leceivers in London and other large towns. The price which the latter give is very small— probably, in many instances, not one- tenth of ihe real value. Some time back two horses were stolen from the stable of a clergyman and magistrate about 30 m I s from London : for one of these, which was a thorough- bred hunter, the owner had been bid 150 guineas a short time before; yet for bolh the horses it has been ascertained, the parties w ho stole them really received only £ 10, which, however, was pretty well for one night's work. An opinion has generally prevailed, that many stolen horses are exported, aud this opinion has been cnconraged fur the purpose of inducing parties to give up further inquiry as hopeless. The truth* is, very few hSrses are sent abroad; the receivers have connexions in various parts of this country, to whom their coti- signnirr. ts are made: the counties of Hants, Kent, and Sussex, and the vvest of England, have been supplied very liberally. Those who traSic iu stolen horses have also the faculty of altering aud disguising them in a manner w hich is scarcely to b. » conceived. Art instance occurred not long since of a gentleman losing a valuable mare, which he afterwards purchased and kept some time without recognising, until an accident befalling her, she was killed, when the farrier ascertained, from the remaining mark of an operation which had been performed, that she was the identical animal which had been stolen Horses which have been stolen, it is well known, have run for a length of time in night coaches, not far from the very neighbourhood from which they were stolen. It is not an un- common thing for dealers in stolen horses to rub the hair off the knees, or otherwise blemish a valuable and thorough- bred horse, for the purpose of having a reason for selling- it into harness; and thus many a horse worth a hundred guineas has beeu sold for £ 35 or £ 40; which sums would, however, afford a handsome profit to the receiver. There is reason to believe that the iniquitous traffic which is the subject of these remarks has lately received a con- siderable check. A pretty large proportion of notorious dealers have become entangled in the net of the law, and several of them have experienced that it is possible lhat that hempen ligature called a halter, which is used for restraining the generous and useful quadruped, can by order of a court of justice be applied to another purpose. It is said that the operations of the stealers and receivers of horses are likely to experience a further check in consequence of information which has been given by a convict, who was found guilty not long since upon three several indictments, tor each of which he was sentenced to 14 years' transporta- tion. This individual has been on ® of the. most extensive dealers in stolen horses, and being thoroughly acquainted with the whole mystery of iniquity, not much relishing Ihe prospect of 42 years- exile and captivity, has volunteered to make dis- closures for the public benefit, in order to obtain a mitigation of his punishment; and it is understood that it has been thought expedient that his proposals should be, on certain conditions, acceded to. There is, perhaps no measure more likely to prove embarrassing to criminal offenders, than to m ike it appear to them that they are constantly in danger of being betrayed by their associates. Morning Paper. Retirement of Mr. Huskiason, Sj- c. [ FROM THE COURIER.] We have to state, that after the division on Monday last, when Mr Huski'sson divided against Mr. Peel, ho addressed a letter to the Duke of Wellington, saying that having found himself obliged to vote as he had done, he was ready to resign his office if it were thought necessary. Lord . Palmerston followed Mr. Huskisson's exam- ple. It lias been reported that Mr. Huskisson did not expect that his letter would be taken as an actual resignation. But the Duke did not think it proper to consider it in any other light, unless Mr. Huskisson expressed a wish to have his letter retnrned. And thus the affair stands at present. Mr. Huskisson was, we hear, to deliver the Seals of Office to His Majesty this afternoon — Lord Palmer- ston resigns also — and rumour mentions more, but as they are not settled, we shall not allude to them more particularly. In consequence of the secession of Mr. Huskisson and of the other changes that must follow, it is ex- pected that there will be a dissolution of Parlia- ment. His Majesty is said to have previously expressed his determination to that effect, if. the Roman Catholic question should be pressed upon hint. SiR WILLIAM CONGREVE.— T. « Constitutionnel ( Paris paper) of Friday last, announces the death of this gallant and scientific officer; but we hope the statement will prove erroneous. He is stated to have died at Toulouse, in the Protestant cemetery at which place his remains were interred on the leili instant. Sir William, our readers will recollect, was the inventor of that most ingeniously constructed and effective instrument of war, the Congreve Rocket, and the head of the laboratory department of the ordnance establishment at Woolwich.— Morning Paper. We can state upon good authority, that the Mar- quis de Palmella, Portuguese Ambassador at this Court, immediately after having received authentic information of the Decree issued at Lisbon, on the 3d of this month, convoking the three Estates of the Kingdom, and which implies the violation of the King's Sovereignty, and at the same time the destruction of the Constitutional Charter, addressed an official note to the Earl of Dudley, on the 23d inst. stating that he could not, consistently with his Oiith of allegiance to the King, Don Pedro, his successors, and to the Charter, consider himself from this time connected with a Government of whose intentions no doubt can any longer exist ; aud that he found himseif under the necessity of soliciting orders directly from the King his Master, in such extraordinary circumstances. € ije Salopian ' journal. WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1828. We have it from undoubted authority, that it is the intention of His Majesty's Ministers, in the modi- fication of the Malt Act, to propose that, the Duty, which was heretofore taken upon the Barley, be henceforth taken upon the Malt. By this new System, an indirect tax of from 3d. to -!< 1. per bushel will be levied upon every consumer of malt. \ Ve beg to recommend the attention of every gentleman, freeholder, and farmer to this subject, for by their united endeavours onH" can this new and unprece- dented attempt to saddle the Agriculturist with a fresh burden be prevented.— We hear also that a Petition against the proposed measure is intended to be prepared by Saturday next; and we have no doubt that, as all are interested, every person will be ready to add his name to it. ADMIRAL BENBOW.— Though the heroic deeds and signal services rendered to his country by this renowned Salopian have long been recorded in the annals of fame as iuterwoveit with our national history, it has for many years been matter of regret to every patriotic mind, and has been considered by strangers a reflection on Salopia's sons, that to the memory of an officer whose characteristic traits, at a period when the service to which he belonged, and of which he was so distinguished an ornament, peculiarly required them, were a zealous love of country, cool and determined bravery, combined with eminent skill and judgment, no monumental record is to be met with ill' his native town. This reflection is, how- ever, we are happy to say, now likely to be re- moved. A gentleman who has long had the subject much at heart ( Mr. Parkes, Castle- street,) has, highly to his credit, set oil foot a subscription for the purpose of erecting in St. Mary's Church a handsome aud appropriate monumental statue, to which several gentlemen have subscribed liberally; and we sincerely hope, for the honour of Shrews- bury, and as a stimulus to those who may hereafter see it, the'respeetable inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood will, without solicitation, raise such a sum as will be sufficient to accomplish the object ill view, in a manner which will be alike creditable to themselves aud honourable to the memory of the Hero.

At bis residence in Belgrave- street, London, the Righl Hon. Lord Forester.— This much- respected and esteemed Nobleman breathed his last on Thursday morning, the 22d instant, after years of sufferings from gout, and consequent illness, which he bore with a firmness and cheerfulness demonstrative of the finest temper and the strongest mind ; ail his life he had been famed for his high courage, and mild and pleasing qualities, and he was most deservedly popular. He had always enjoyed the intimacy and friendship of h. fs Sovereign, with whom be hail fre- quent intercourse, and on His Majesty's Coronation he was advanced to the Peerage. The Duke of Rut- land, the Earl of Jersey, - the Marquis of Anglesey, and Mr Singleton, were bis most intimate associates, and during his last short and sudden illness they had been most mixi- ms in their inquiries. His Lordship married Lady Katharine Manners, sister of His Grace the Duke of Rutland, by whom he has left six sons and five daughters. lie is succeeded in his ntle and extensive estales by his son John George, now Lord Forester, who was one of the Representa- tives in Parliament for the Borough of Weulock, in this county, and who is a most amiably disposed aud promising young Nobleman.

Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. T. B. Lntener:— House Visitors, Johu Eaton and John Vaughan, Esqrs. Saturday was the anniversary of the birth- day of her Royal Highness, the Princess Victoria, who entered on her tenth year, which event was cele- brated in every respect, in the metropolis. From an account laid on the table of the House of Commons, it appears that in the year ending January 5, 18.26, the aggregate value of British manufactured woollens and woollen yam exported from Great Britain was £ 6,194,926 in the year ending January 5, 1827, £ 4,982,908 ; and in the year ending January 5, 1828, the value amounted to £ 5,277,861. In the year ending January 5, 1826, the quantity of foreign wool imported into this country amounted to 43,795,2811b.; to January 5, 1827, 15,964,0671b.; and in the year ending January 5, 1828,29,122,4471b. Also, in the years ending January 5, 1826, 1827, and 1828, the amounts of British wools exported were 678,0341b. 888,6571b. and 760,1091b. WANTKD a STEADY, EXPERIENCED NURSE, to ti. ke Care of three Children, the youngest of whom is six Years old — None need apply who cannot have an unexceptionable Character from their last Place. The Standard of Wednesday evening, in allusion to a dirty, paltry, mischievous piece of scan. mag. which has run through the sink- pool of all the London and most of the provincial " UberaV prints, writes as follows :—" The Morning Chronicle of this day states that the Duke of Wellington has repre- sented to the King the necessity of submitting to the Irish Roman Catholics. The same tale has been circulated at the West- end of the town, with the usual assiduity of the Whigs, when they have any thing mischievous to disseminate. The Oral version of the story adds, that the Duke of Wellington ten- dered his resignation as the alternative of His Majesty's acquiescence, and that the King was ad- vised by the Duke of Cumberland to accept the tender. WE HAVE AUTHORITY TO STATE THAT THE STORY IS A TISSUE OF FALSEHOODS FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END." The object of the abominable fabrication above alluded to, must be obvious to every one, and was well known to all those who gave it currency. The Duchess of Northumberland gave a grand concert on Friday evening, at Northumberland House. To enumerate the distinguished persons present would be to name all the haut ton in town. At Oxford, on Wednesday, the Degree of Doctor in Divinity was conferred upon the Rev. Herbert Oakeley, of Oriel College, Prebendary of Wor- cester. ^ Harry Longueville Jones, B. A. and Edward Dodd, B. A. of Magdalene College, Cambridge, were on Wednesday last elected Fellows of that society. We are authorised to say, ( and we do so with groat pleasure,) that the statement made in the Morning Herald, on the authority of Mr. O'Connell, * as noticed in our last, of there having been numerous conversions to the Roman Catholic religion in the parish of Acton Burnell, is not true.

BOXERS.— Tom Spring and Phil. Sampson had a turn- up in a booth at Epsom, on Thursday. They met accidentally. Spring complained of Sampson's unmanly taunting him, Sampson retorted, and they went to work. The booth was full, and tlvey had a tumble in the crowd, and were parted without mischief. Spring declared his determination to lick Sampson wherever they met, as he had challenged him ( Spring) in many public places, and now refused to fight him in the ring. Spring challenged him to fight on the Course, but Sampson declined- ANTED, for an Inn, a good plain COOK; also, an UNDER HOUSE- MAID.— Enquire at THE PRINTBRS of this Paper : if hy Letter, Post- paid.

Great rejoicings are anticipated on the consummation of the happy event. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— One of the most awful occurrences that it has fallen to our lot to record for some time, took place on Tuesday afternoon, at one of the pits of the Dee Green Colliery, near Flint, belonging to Thomas Eyton, Esq. The circumstances attending this dreadful accident, as far as we have been able to collect them, are as follows: the fire- damp had collected in a part of the pit unobserved by the workmen, and on a boy incautiously taking a lighted candle towards the spot, it instantly ignited, and a tremendous explosion followed. There were at the time upwards of thirty individuals ( men and boys) in the mine, and out of this number, nine were killed on the spot, and eleven others dreadfully wounded ; most of these had their limbs broken, and were so shockingly scorched, that it is feared some of them will not survive. The explosion was so loud that it was heard at a great distance, and so powerful that it blew up the machine which covered the mouth of the pit.— We are sorry to relate, that some of the unfortunate men have left large families to deplore their fate, and who, by this accident, are not only bereaved of their husbands and fathers, but of their only support. The men who fortunately escaped were only preserved by being in another part of the pit where there was an air- pipe. To the Inhabitants of WELSHPOOL and the County of Montgomery.

TIE ARGUS. v It . is- well to commit the beginning of all great actions t<> ARGUS, with his hundred eves,— and ' he end to Briart'us, with his hundred hands.' — LORD BACON. R. BUCKINGHAM has the pleasure 1 til to announce that, in compliance with a very general demand'for souie one improved DAILY EVEN- ING PAPER uniting the ad vantages now only to ! » e found scattered through many, he has given his attention j. o the preparath. u of a New Daily Journal, to he called ' THE ARGUS,' and persuades himself that he has devi « ed a plan of greater originality, comprehensive- ness, variety, ami general convenience, than any hitherto attempted. The full details of this plan will be found in a printed Prospectus, to be had of all Book- sellers and Newsmen in the Kingdom ; and a Specimen Number of the Paper itself will shortly be deposited for inspection at all the Public Libraries. Institutions, Coffee- Houses, and Reading- Rooms, in England, Scot- land, Ireland, aud Wales, 50,000 copies being intended to be printed immediately for that purpose. It. is sufficient here to observe, that the principal features of novelty in 4 TUB ARGUS' will be : 1st. Tliat it will embrace nearly as much matter as the largest Morning Paper ever published. 2dly. That, in consequence of these enlarged limits, it will include every class of information, Political, Literary, Scientific, and Genetal, each arranged, in a peculiar manner, under its ' respective head. 3dly. That each Number will he so ' printed, as to be capable of separation into Two Distinct Sheets, — one to be the Department of Public Records, and the other the Department of General News, each perfect in itself, and, therefore, serving the complete purpp. se of Two Separate Papers, — an advantage, w hicli no existing Journal possesses, and which cannot fail to render * THE ARGUS1 ( supposing it to contain no other feature of superiority) peculiarly acceptable to all places in which Daily Papers are taken for the perusal and accommodation of more than one individual. The First regular Number of * TflR ARGUS' ( at the ordinary price of Seyenpence,) will appear on MONDAY, the 30 th of JUNE, and the Specimen Number ( for gratuitous distribution) on 3l) th Of MAY; the interval being intended to he employed in seeing all the necessary arrangements for its active and energetic continuation completed in such a manner as to ensure success,, As the Specimen Number will admit only Ihe limited portion of advertisements for which a certain space is intended to tie allotted in the regular Paper itself, and as such an opportunity of extensive circulation in any one Paper is. perhaps, never likely to occur again, ear v application is r « commended, as preference will be given in the order of priority alone, anil no Vertiseinents will be in time after the 25th of May. further details may be learnt al the Office of Publica- tion, 147, Strand, London.

In characterising the principal Weekly Periodicals of the day, as being of very ordinary merit, he makes the following exceptions : 4 Mr. Buckingham's 1 ATHEN/ FUM' is of a much ' superior- cast,, and, it maybe hoped, will meet with ' all the success the gieat merits and persecutions of its ' excellent Conductor are well entitled to look for at "' the bau( ls of Engli hiiien.

THE CHEMISTRY OF AUTS AND MANUFAC- TURES.— The importance of Chemical Science to Arts aud Manufactures, has always been acknowledged, but Ihe time has never arri ved in which the principles discovered by the chemists could be applied to the operations of the manufacturer. It required a coin- cidence of pursuits in the same man, and a concurrence of circumstances, such as rarely unite, to effect so desirable an object. The speculative and philoso- phical chemist cares little for the commercial applica- tion of his discoveries 5 while the manufacturing chemist, intent on his own profits, leaves to others the use of his products. Hence the fruition of science and the perfection of manufactures, demanded the labours of a man whose pursuits and experience combined the knowledge of the practices with the labours of the manufactory — Mr. S GRAY, a pupil of the celebrated Higgins, and for fifty years known to tlie public as a skilful, experimental, and operative chemist, of which he has afforded evidence in his Supplement to the London Pharmacopoeia, and in other works, has just bequeathed to ihe world such a volume. as Science, Commerce, and Manufactures have long demanded, iu HIS OPERATIVE CHEMIST. This work, the result of fifty years experience, and of several years' close attention to its important subjects, has just appeared. It combines all that is known iu Britain, France, America, aud Germany, of the arts of Chemistry and Metallurgy, which are essential to the perfection and economy of manufactures in every line in which science and experiment can aid them.—• CBAPTAL essayed something- of the kind in his Che- mistry applied to the Arts, but they were French arts and French practices. MACQUEEN in England began a similar work, but did not live to finish it; and latterly NICHOLSON attempted to complete what MACQUEEN had begun. A practical, comprehensive, and systematic work was still a desideratum, and no man was so abundantly qualified for the task as the author of the Supplement to the Pharmacopoeia.— It is impossible to follow such a work through its details. It properly embraces, in succession, the manufacture of Chemical Components in the great, and then applies their use to the fabrication of metallic compounds, to Dyeing, Bleaching, Tanning, Polishing, Fermenting, lo the uses of Acids, Alkalis, Oils, Gums, & c. & c. The whole is illustrated with many hundred engravings of utensils, apparatus, and processes, so as to leave nothing for the student or manufacturer to desire. — Such a work is not a mere private benefit. It may add 25 or 50 per cent, to the profits of the manufacturer. But it u a contribution to the stock of public wealth, and will assist us in maintaining the ascendancy which we have acquired, by rendering results subservient toscience, and the very complica- tion of agencies, a means of perpetuating that mono- poly which is so essential to ihe continued prosperity of the British Islands. Since the decision on Sir Francis Burdett's motion, Mr. O'Connell and the other leaders of the Roman Catholic Association have become more daring, and more unreserved, if possible, in the declaration of their intentions fsee 3d col. 4th page J. The friends of the Profestant cause arc, therefore,; increasing1 their efforts, not only to maintain, but to extend their interest, by petitions to the House of Lords, and by other representations to their lead- ing supporters in that House. CoNeiLTATioft.— Upon this subject, the Earl of Clare ( Lord Chancellor of Ireland) made the follow- ing observations, in the Irish House of Lords, in the year 1798:—" If conciliation be a pledge of national tranquillity and contentment, if it be a spell to allay popi l. ii- ferment, there is not a nation in the world which has had so fair a trial as L eland ; for a period of nearly 20 years, a liberal and unvaried system of concession aud conciliation has been pursued. and acted upon by the British Government. Concession and conciliation have produced m » ly a fresh stock of grievances, and the discontent^ of Ireland have kept pace with her prosperity." The statement that Mr. Salmon, one of the prin- cipal officers of Bow- street, had been suspended in consequence of a participation in certain disclosures lately made before the Police Committee, is con- tradicted he asserts that he has never been suspended from his situation, nor in any way implicated in the disclosures nude to the Com- mittee. - CAUTION.— A boy was convicted a few days since at Worcester, and fined five shillings, for trespassing in mowing grass. The full peualty for th is- offence is five pounds. The new Pension Bill has been printed. it empowers hiS Majesty < f to grant £ 3,000 a. year for the life of Charles Canning, second son of the late Bight Hon. George Canning ami it further em- powers his Majesty to direct " sach provisions and regulations as to the application of this Pension, for the benefit- of the said Charles Ginning, or of his brother William Pitt Canning, or of Viscountess Canning, or of either of them, as to his Majesty may seem fit." The sight- seeing people never had so wide a field as London offers them this season. It has been calculated that it would employ a fortnight, fully occupied from eight o'clock in the morning'to six at. night, only to take a glimpse at all that may be seen,. In the Bill now in progress through the House of Commons, to repeal the allowances made to Stationers on the purchase of Stamps. for Receipts at the Head Office in London, and to grant allowances to persons purchasing such Stamps of the Commissioners or the Distributors— an indemnity clause hits been intro- duced, relieving individuals " from all pecuniary penalt'es incurred by giving* unstamped receipts prior to the passing- of the Act." EXTENSIVE FORGERIES— For a ( on£ time past, firyeries of the notes of several of the Yorkshire Banks, and others iu the neighbouring counties, have been iu circulation to a very considerable extent. The evil which resulted to the public in consequence, induced the bankers to take active measures to delect the nieii by whom the forgeries were circulated, and information having been conveyed to the constable of Blackburn of a gang resident in the neighbourhood of Halifax and Toduiofden, suspected of being con- cerned in the matter, he has, ever since January last, been upon the alert far certain and accurate knowledge of their proceedings. Having at length obtained the requisite information, he aud his assistants proceeded in ihe above neighbourhood during the night of Sun. day se'nnight, and about three o'clock on Monday morning apprehended six nu n and one woman belong- ing to the gang; and although they resided at the distance of fifteen miles asunder, yet so effectual was the plan laid down for their apprehension, that they were all taken into custody within five minutes of each other. They were taken to Blackburn, aad underwent examinations . before John Aspinall, Esq. which ended in the committal of six of them, viz. Henry Sunderland, . Jonathan Stanstield, John Fielding, Isaac Briggs, George Stansfield, & Dolly Shackleton, to York Castle, each variously charged with uttering forged £\ notes of the banks of Gibson and Co. of Kirkby Lonsdale, Birkbeck & Co. of Settle, Williams, Brow 11, and Co. and Beckett aud Co. Leeds, and Briggs and Sous, Halifax. Sunderland was also charged with uttering two forg- ed £ 5 Bank of Eng- land notes, and Stausfield with uttering a number of counterfeit half- sovereigns and half crowns — These six prisoners were sent off on Wednesday ; the other, Matthias Pilling, was detained f. » r further examina- tion. The six had scarcely left Blackburn, when Mr. Kay, the constable, met with another of the gang, and immediately apprehended him. This man's name is George Scholes, and he is a native of Blackburn : he underwent an examination on Thursday before J Aspinall, Esq. and Pilling at the same time was further examined. These examinations resulted iu the committal of both prisoners to York Castle, Scholes charged with uttering, along with Sunder- land, two £ 5 forgeries on the Bank of England, and Pilling charoed with uttering forged £ 1 notes of the hank of Cunliffes, Brooks, and Co. Blackburn, and of Birkbeck and Co. Settle. It has often been asserted f at those little annual visitants, called Martens, actually re- occupy the same nests after their return from their winter emigration ; to ascertain the truth of this assertion, a gentleman of the first respec tability at Brenchley, in this county, caught one of these birds last autumn ( while in its nest), and fastened a small thread of silk round its leg, aud when th > se airy visitants re- appeared a short time s'nee, he watched the n^ st from which he took the little tenant, and found th • well- known mark still fastened to its leg, where it had continued during its absence, and by which he clearly ascertained, the positive fact of the re- occupation of the same nest by the same bird.— Maidstone Journal. THIS SUN.— Those who are curious in astronomical phenomena will be highly gratified at present in viewing- the face of the sun, on. which there are visible 22 spots, one of them immensely large. A short time ago, at Barton, a young lady havino- some lace very much discoloured, after washing it, spread it on the sward of an inclosed piece of ground within the premises, for the purpose of bleaching. She was shortly afterwards astonished hy discovering that it had vanished. Considerable speculation ensued in the family, with respect to the thief, as it was extremely improbable that any person, excepting the members of the family, could gain access to the spot in which the lace had been placed. Last week, one of them heard a thrush making a strange noise in a tree. Having the curiosity to see what occasioned the loud twittering of the bird, he climbed aloft, aud on peeping into the nest ( which the occupant had vacated), he beheld to his no small astonishment, four eggs quietly deposited on the lost lace, which had sustained no other damage than a few perforations from the bill of the winged architect, while adapting this Godsend to the lining of her habitation.— Hall Packet. TIIE LAST DESCENDANT OF MILTON.— Within these few days, Mrs. Earle, an elderly lady, who was generally said, when living, to be the last surviving descendant in a direct line f: om the immortal author of Paradise Lost, died at her lodgings in the house of a lady named Cox worthy, resideiit in Bennett- street, Blackfriars. This lady used, during her life- time, to be frequently visited by persons of literary distinction, who were aware of her consanguinity with the immortal poet. She had a large collection of works which once belonged to her illustrious relation Milton. About two years since, a commission of Bank- ruptcy was issued out against a person named Emmunds, currier, in Copenhagen- street, in this city, and ( for reasons we are not in possession of) the Creditors refused to this day to sign his certi- ficate. However, the same business was shortly after carried on in the same house, professedly by another person; but within the last few months, the bankrupt again placed his own name over the door, and, having ascertained which, the assignees yesterday entered upon the premises, seized all the property contained therein, and it will be sold for the benefit of the creditors. This will, probably, operate as a caution to bankrupts resuming business before having obtained their certificate. — Wor- cester Herald. There is a cucumber frame in the garden of Mr. Kirby, of Stourport, 2 feet and a half wide, by 4 feet 1 inch long, which he erected on the 8th March last, 011 an entire new plan. O. i the 13th March, he planted in it three cucumber plants, with one rough leaf each, and on the 13th May there were growing in the bed the unprecedented uu; n- ber of one hundred and seventy- six cucumbers, in a healthy and flourishing state. The bed is worked with less than half the trouble or expense of any other frame now in use. We are glad to hear that, after much labour and expense, the workmen employed on the estate of Lord Maynard, at Bagworth, iu this. county, have succeeded in discoveiing a vein of coa^, eighty- six yards from the surface,, which is seven feet five inches in. thickness. Bagworth is about eleven miles from Leicester, and in the neighbourhood of ib « tock and Wnitwick, where, as we have lately announced, veins of coal have also been discovered. — ? eicstershir. e Herald. SPANISH CHARACTER.— From Colonel Nupi rs Work— The Spanish character, with relation to public affairs, is distinguished by inordinate pride and ar- rogance. Dilatory and improvident, the individual as . well as the mass, all possess an absurd confidence that every thing is practicable which their heated imagination suggests. Once excited, they can see no difficulty in the execution of a. project, and the ob- stacles they encounter are attributed to treachery; hence the sudden murder of so many, yirtuous men at. the commencement of this commotion. Kind and warm in his attachments, but bitter in his anger, the Spaniard is patient under privations, firm in bodily suffering, prone to sudden passion, vindictive and bloody, remembering insult longer than injury, anu cruel in his revenge. With a strong natural percep- tion of what is noble, his promise is lofty, but, as he invariably permits his passions to get the mastery of fri. s reason, his performance is mean In the progress of this war, the tenacity of vengeance peculiar to the nation, supplied the want of* cool, persevering intre- pidity, but it was a poor substitute for that essential quality, and led rather to deeds of craft aud cruelty* than to daring acts of patriotism. DUKE OF WELLINGTON. — I will here give you a somewhat curious anecdote, on the truth of which you may rely. Stimulated by that curiosity which is rather a striking feature, of my idiosyncrasyi I rode up to a neighbouring eminence, to observe the motions of our own army, which had already commenced retiring, as well as those of the erigmy, who, from the occasional pushing forward of their skirmishers, seemed intent on some further operations. On this height were several officers, one of whom was seated, while his horse was hold by an orderly dragoon, and the others standing round him. I had approached near to them before I observed that the principal object in the group was Lord Wellington In a moment my attention was arrested. He was at luncheon, and in the act of adding mustard to a slice of meat which had just been deposited on his plate, when the following colloquy took place:—" The enemy are moving, my lord," said one of the staff officers to his commander, already busily engaged in the office of mastication. " Very well," replied his lordship ; " take the glass, Somerset, and tell me what they seem to be about;" at the same time continuing his meal with every appearance of nonchalance. The officer did so for about a minute. " I think they are extending to their left, my lord.' 1 " The devil they arc!" exclaimed Lord Wellington, springing in an instant to his feet; " give me the glass quickly." He took it, and for a short space continued observing the motions of the enemy. " Come, I think this will do at last!" he exclaimed. " Ride off instantly, and tell Clinton and Leith to return as quickly as possible to their former ground." Iu a moment all his staff were in motion, Lord Wellington mounted his horse, and [ returned to my regiment, which, as our division was intended to form the rear of the retreat, had not yet begun to move. Such was the promptitude and rapidity with which a decision affecting the fate of nations was formed by the master mind of our great commander.— Account of the Battle of Salamanca. CASTLE OF THE BOSPHORUS BUILT. At the setting in of the winter of 1450, Moham- med issued circular orders throughout the whole of European and Asiatic Turkey, that the chiefs of provinces should supply him with a thousand masons, carpenters, & c. and the usu il complement of bricklayers and labourers, as well as the mate- rials requisite for erecting a castle oa the European batik of the Bosphorus, 011 a spot situated at its mouth. Such tidings as these were well calculated to awaken in the breasts of the Greek etnperor and his whole metropolis a painful misgiving of their approaching end. Instead of any longer insisting upon Urehan's subsistence- money, or on the dou- bling of its amount, the Imperial ambassadors now implored the Sultan to abandon his entei priso, and accept tribute from their sovereign. Mohammed, bursting out into a fit of rage, replied, " that the Greeks were a race of traitors; that they had courted an alliance with the Hungarians ( his deadly enemies) ; that before the ba'tle of Warna they had endeavoured to prevent his father from crossing over into Europe; that the latter, even at that time, had sworn to erect a castle on the European shore; and that impediments having ' arisen to prevent his father from fulfilling his vow, he himself had resolved to accomplish it." " And who is to come bet ween me and my right to build upon my own soil ?" exclaimed the Sultan. " Tell your Emperor, that the Sultan now upon the throne will bear no comparison with his predecessors ; what they were incapable of achieving becomes a work of ease in my hands; and what might never be their will, I choose to will in all the plenitude of my might! Let such an embassy be repeated, and the messenger shall be dispatched forthwith." By the end of March, the various materials were collected; timber was brought from Nicodemia and Heraclea in Pontus, aud stone from Anatolia. The Boglerbegs of Europe and Asia, together with other Beys and Subaschi, assembled on the eastern side of the Bosphorus, and the Sultan himself left Adrianople to meet them. The site which he had fixed upon for the erection of his castle was oppo- site to that where Ildirim Bajazet had built the fort of" Gufelhissar;" it was situated at the point where the Bosphorus is narrowest, and is hence called the " throat, 1 in the same way that i's extremity is termed the " mouth," where that channel is contracted to a breadth of five stadii between the two opposing promontories, and near to the spot where Audrocles, of S. unos, had thrown over the bridge on which Darius crossed with the Persian forces on his march to Scythia. Here stands the lofty eminence, in ancient times known by the name of Hermaion, in honour of Hermes, to whom a temple was raised on its s un nit. From this eminence, Darius watched the passage of his army from Asia into Europe; a fact which was recorded by inscriptions, in the Assyrian character, engraven upon columns erected there in memory of that event.— At the foot of this eminence or promontory, Mohammed traced the outline of his castle, of which, with a species of superstitious prejudice, he resolved that the walls should de- scribe the form of the word Mohammed ( his own as well as the Prophet's cognomen), as written in the Arabic character, and that a tower should be raised wherever the M occurred, this letter having in the Arabic an annular form. Hence the circu. t of the edifice, with its three towers, displayed a most incongruous appearance, two of them starting up at the foot of the promontory, and the third being turned towards the sea. The construction of the latter was entrusted to Chalil- Pacha, the Grand Vizier, whilst that of the two former was left to the Vizier Sarganos and Saridsche- Pasha, who had grown grey in the ser- vice of the court and harem. Tiie Sultan himself undertook to build the walls which should connect the towers into one structure. A thousand mason*, each having two assistants under him, carried on the labour without, and an equal number within, the walls. " Not only was Asia tributary of the materials needed, but the dismantled walls and churches of the Bosphorus, nay, even the pill irs of the immense and splendid church of Michael the Archangel, on the Sostheniou Siia, were rendered subservient to the purpose iu hand. By such means as these was the Castle of the Bosphorus completed within a space of three months; its rampart being tweuty- five, and the walls of its towers thirty, feet . in thickness.

MARC DRIJRY. © lanes bi- r digni, tu cJigtiior omnibus, omnes Hie plene sapiunt, plenlus ipsesapis. EPIGR. ft was Leonardo da Vinci ( I believe), who recom- mended a painter never to be without his tablet; this celebrated artist knew that Nature must he eopied in her dishabille, when restraint is cast off, and the limbs are in the position best pleasing to tiie inclination. How applicable the advice to the days of our boyhood, those hours the history ol which is traced iu sunshine! How pleasant, after a lapse of ten or twenty years, to turn over the pages of our sketch books, aud read the characteristics of the now General or Statesman, fhen remarkable only for the daring or simplicity of their conduct. And how much more " valuable are the portraits when painted " dans une infinite de rencontres," and glowing in all the ardour of The first impassioned dream of youth. The recollections of our contemporaries are evan- escent, oftentimes effaced by the wear and tear of ihe world, or if they survive for a season in the midst of darkness aud woes, their glimmer is as a dying lamp in a sepulchre. Children,, moreover, are destitute of reflection : they look upon the clear I aud joyous brows of their companions, and think not that years w'ill wrinkle them; that the flower of their youth will fade even in the summer leaf, that their limbs will fail them " ere their hearts grow cold," and the eyes wax dim before the one upon whom they delight to gaze, is departed. The thought never crosses ( he mind of youth, that the arm now so sociably linked in his own, may be • withdrawn in the crowd of the world, a,, d the lips once so vehement in professions of affection and esteem, in the space of two or three years forget that such a person ever existed us Frederic VVe may say of boys affirmatively iu the beautiful words of the unfortunate Neele: They seek not to anticipate sorrow By throwing the flower of the present away, Nor gather the. hluck rolling clouds of to morrow, To darken the generous sun of to- day. Some of my school friendships are broken, and the remembrance of others altogether obliterated ; but among the recollections which still linger about my heart, twinkling like stars through Ihe mist and duskiness of years, aud making me feel in mind, if not iu body, a Harrow Boy, is the remembrance of — Robert Feel. The genius or taste of a man is generally shewn in his youth, less brilliantly and distinctly it may be than in after times, but it is evinced in the joy of a game of cricket, or the additional twenty verses to a ' copy.' Well might the mind of man be compared to a musical instrument; it is indeed a harp of most sensitive feeling, aud the gentlest touch on the chords of childhood, will thrill over the thousand strings, waking each infant thought aud passion; aud though the melody may die away, the murmurs float around us in the storms and sorrows of life, like the music of the Indian, the sweeter for having been heard in the land of our purity and happiness Sir. Peel was my senior at Harrow, he hud resided some time when 1 was entered, and had already obtained the reputation of a clever boy. A student is seldom liked at a Public School; there is a suspicion lurking in the minds of his fellows that he is over- reaching them ; an antipathy arising from the shame of being excelled, and au aversion lo the cause of the obloquy. Mr. Peel felt the full force of this haired, which increased in proportion to the coolness and determination op- posed lo it. Anger and fury, although they feed the fire for a lime, and raise the passions to the highest pitch of frenzy, must, in a short time, be lulled; they are self- reuellants; the contemptuous heedlessness of Mr. Peel, was. a tacit reproach far more powerful than words, to Ihe wralh of bis companions; and tin iv dislike endured the longer, be^ v. use it appeared to be so little regarded. I say cnyt <: i ed, for notwithstanding he kept 11 Ihe tenor of bis way" in seemiug pleasantness, his heart was pained aud affiicU'd, aud in one of his themes, ren- dered peculiarly interesting from Ihe circumstances attending it* composition, were some affecting lines on the beauty of patience under suffering. So dis- tressing became the malevolence of some of his schoolfellows during the first few months, that I have been ii. formed, by a valued friend of Mr. Peel, his removal from Harrow was anxiously desired by an honoured member of his family. How far the proposal met with Mr. Peel's sanction 1 know not; I cannot but attribute much of hi: present calm aud imperturbable si'lf- possessiou lo his early sufferings. Mr. Peel, if I remember aright, was more florid in his juvenile compositions than in his inaturer productions; a vein of eneugetic and dispassionate argument, however, always pervaded his exercise: and when 1 have accidentally passed by bis room, 1 have frequently seen him leaning on his arm, and engaged in stiudy, while the major part of his asso ciates were amusing themselves in a more healthful although not so intellectual, employment. In my time, and I suppose the system is unaltered themes and verses carried away the prize; ekgance and fluency of translation were but little attended tc, and a ' good construe" of one of the most difficult plays of jEschylue was considered inferior to paper of thirty or forty soft, flowing verses-, in fhe poetry and prose Mr. Peel was equally success, tul; his themes were acknowledged by his tutor to In consequence of the opposition made by 0ie delegates specially appointed on behalf of the Benefit Societies, and by the members of those Societies generally, Mr. Courtenay, as we announced in our Journal of the 14th inst. has abandoned his intended Bill for regulating Friendly Societies.— The delegates representing the seventeen co- ope- rating Benefit Societies in Chester, whose numbers amount to more than 2000 adult males, and who, with their families, constitute full one- half the population of that city, have published the follow- ing statement of the grounds upon which they and their respective societies adopted measures for opposing Mr. Courtenaj's Bill : — They do not object to a consolidation of the existing statutes; but conceive a consolidation to be desirable, provided it be effected in the true spirit of former statutes ( the 59th Geo. 111. always excepted), under the enactments of which societies have long flourished and increased; and where instances to the contrary have occurred, they are not attributable to any defect in the law. The old law is salutary, simple, and efficient. It makes officers responsible, aud iu case of their bankruptcy or insolvency, provides that fhe assignees shall, within forty days after demand, pay oter to the officers of the society all monies or other property to them belonging, before the claims of any of the other creditors are satisfied. Mr. Conrtenay's bill makes no such provision; and it seems reasonable lhat benefit societies should be entitled lo such a preference, considering the praiseworthy and in- deed sacred purposes to whieh their funds are appropriated. The delegates object to the pufting of benefit societies or their property under the controul of irresponsible trustees, whose requisite qualification is being assessed to the relief of the poor in a sum not less than £ 50 per annum. The amount of this qualification renders it almost certain that few such persons will be found among the members of benefit societies; and therefore strangers must be sought, who have no common interest in the welfare of the society, and are not responsible for any deficiency that may arise from mismanagement or misapplica- tion of the funds. These trustees may appoint w hom they please treasurer, and lake such security as they think proper ; so that imbecility or collusion on their parts may ruin a whole society, without any such remedy as is provided by Ihe present law. If trustees were made responsible, few would accept the office, as there is no power to compel them to do so, although it is imperative on societies lo appoint them. New societies cannot be formed, nor old ones make any alteration in their articles, without first presenting a memorial through their trustees ( three at least) to the justices; as if officers from amongst their own body were not fit to ap- proach a w orshipful bench of magistrates! Neither is there any clause lhat provides for the removal of trustees, in case they cease to be qualified or refuse lo act, or be rendered incapable of acting ( without the approbation of magistrates). Brewers, spirit- merchants, or publicans, in nine cases out of ten, would be the only persons that could be procured as trustees. These would have an interest iu con- tinuing the meetings of the society at their own houses or those which they serve ; and as no alter- ation could take place without their concurrence, it would be difficult to effect a reformation ( so desir- able) in this particular. Besides, on the whole, it appears inquisitorial and rather unconstitutional to abridge the right of the subject to manage his own affairs and his own property. It further seems a sort of insult to the understanding of Ihe members of benefit societies, to suppose them not capable, collectively, of farming a few pounds, accumulated by pence from the earnings of the industrious classcs for the mutual support and solace of each oilier in Ihe hour erf affliction, sickness, and time of infirmity ; for such is the object they have iu view, and which, through the blessing of Providence, and vigilance and good management, they hope long to be able to carry into effect. Wilh regard to actuaries, they have so many proofs of their erroneous calculations, that they dread their interference. Societies understand their own simple plans and calculations; they consider lhat system sound to which all cheerfully conform, and that law equitable where all are treated alike. With regard to tables of payment and benefits, they have a copy of a certificate before them from Messrs. Fiend and Morgan, with their opinion upon the Articles of the " Noah's Ark Benefit Society," lately established in this city. These gentlemen assert that the contribution of 9d. per fortnight will be sufficient only to provide a weekly allowance in sickness of 7s. for 52 weeks, then to be reduced to 4s. for two years, and no longer; and also for the payment of £ 7 on the death cf a member, aud £ 5 on the death of a wife, aided by ihe contribution of Is. and of 6d. on these events respectively. As to superannuated members, and the expense of the feast, no part of the funds of the society must be applied to tho. e purposes; nor should Ihe allowance in sickness be increased with the increase of Ihe stock, till it shall be found front future experience, that they . will admit of such increase. Now Ihe scale of benefits of the above society are far inferior to any society similarly constituted iu Chester. For example, lake the three senior societies, which have had more than sixty years' experience. These socic ties, from their commence- ment, have paid only 7d. per fortnight lo the fund; and the infirm members during the above period have received no less than 7s. per week; and upon this scale the funds of these societies have so in- creased as to enable them to allow for the last twenty years 9s. per week for one whole year without any prejudicial effect upon their funds, although some members of these societies have received pay for nearly twenty years, and all receive not less than five shillings per week as long- as sickness or infirmity continues, lu addition to the above, they pay upon au average to the repre- sentatives of deceased members the sum of £ 15, aud an additional sum of £ 7 to members upon the death of their wives respectively, aided only by a contribution, as in Morgan and Fi end's certificate. In addition to the above, they refer the reader to Messrs. Fiulayson aud Dnvies's tables of payment and allowance, as submitted to the Committee of the House of Commons, where the payments re- quired are more than double those of the societies above alluded lo, and the benefits held out less than these societies now afford. The experience of these cietic s is a- flat contradiction to the theory of these learned gentlemen. Now, with respect to disputes or misunderstand- ings between societies and individual members, they do, or will, submit the matter to the arbitration of respectable persons, a mode they conceive the fairest and the least expensive to all parties. With rent deference lo magistrates, the delegates know many instances iu which their decisions have been erroneous— sometimes deciding in strictness of law, at other times according to equity. Now, as far as relates to savings' banks, they are better satisfied with the provision on their behalf in an act passed in the 57th year of the reign of his late Majesty ( cap. 130, see. 5 aud ( i), than they are With the threat held out in . Mr. C'ourteuay's bill, that they shall have no advantages arising from s iviiigs1 binks, except they unconditionally conform to all ils provisions', which threat they consider unhandsome towards them. The correspondence wilh Ihe national debt office is highly objectionable, as calculated to create expense in the way of fees to clerks of the peace ( expressly prohibited by the old law), to cov. r the charges incurred by commu- nications with the commissioners* clerk, and ac- countants. These communications must be frequent, as all new rules, alterations, and accounts, are to be transmitted by the clerk of Ihe peace to them for inspection and scrutiny, and so interchanged till all parties- are satisfied ; which, by the bye, may be no very short period. The delegates think, lh. it if a society, be satisfied with its own accounts, the national debt office should uot interfere; as the funds of benefit societies are not national property, but as much private as Mr. Courtenay's own pro- perty. It is further a hardship to be ( on the most trivial alteration in their tables of payment, & c.) taxed with' expense, and subjected to the caprice of theorists unacquainted with the affairs of the societies they are calculating foij and whose varU otts cases aud constitutions bid defiance to every thing but practical experience. So far the delegates have used their humble en- deavours to point out the leading objections to Mr. Courtenay's bill, which Ihey hope and trust a candid public will not censure them for; nor for using every fair means to oppose it passing ijito a'law. They entertain no hostile feeling towards Mr. Courtenay, nor any other person concerned; they rather thank them for their good intention, for they are persuaded that Mr. Courtenay and his support ers meant well. Providence has raised Mr. Courtenay above the sphere of members of benefit societies. If Mr. Courtenay had been a member of a benefit society, he would have found out ere this, that they were capable of managing their own little matters without an interference at once disagreeable and expensive to them. If there must be trustees to controul, actuaries to direct, accountants to sci uti- nize, and magistrates to adjust differences, what remains for members themselves to do, but to pa;, and that dearly ?

Lord NUGENT, Lord ASHLEY, aud Mr. W SMITH expressed themselves favourable ( o ( lie gran!.— M LBNNARD also cordially concurred in it— Mr. HUM said, a( ( lie next singe he would lake the sense of the House on the Bill ; but, on the suggestion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, agreed to do so on the bringing up of the report. The Bill was then read a second time. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. ALEHOUSE LICENSING BILL. Mr. ESTCOURT moved the second reading of the Alehouse Licensing Bill. Mr HEATHCOTE and several other Members objected to the clause iu the Bill bv which, in ail cities, towns corporate, and boroughs, not continuing six Magistrates oaliti tl according to the provisions of ( his Aet, to determine upon Ihe granting of licences, a conctlrreul jurisdiction was given ( o ( he County Magistrates. Mr. St. ANEY objected lu the Bill : he also was averse to the presetr. system. He did not say Magistrates should not have the power of licensing lu their bands, but that il ought to be more freely exeicised. fl I) amount of demand should regulate the number of shops engaged iu the sale of an article, and every persou finding- adequate security for good behaviour ought to have a licence lo sell beer: for then the pub- lic would obtain a good article at a cheaper price. Mr. HUME also thought the licensing of ale ought I he put upon the same principle as Ihe licensing of lea or any other commodity, and that no inducement nugbl lo he held out for the fictitious value of property. Mr. Secretary PBEL said those Hon. Members who contended that the trade in beer should be as fiee as ( lie ( iade in bread and cheese, should bear in mind that llie consumption of those articles produced very differ- ent effects— ihe effect of one being to produce iutoxi- cation. He believed that if the trade in beer were to be opened, ns those Gentlemen proposed, we should soon find it ni cessary to retrace our sieps. The Hill was read a second time, aud ordeied lo be committed on the 6th of June. jWscellaneoas Intelligence. MR. O'CONNELL.— We extract the following pas- sage from a speech delivered by this gentleman at the Corn Exchange on the 15th instant :—" One of the arguments brought against them ( the Catholics) was, that they had trampled on the act of Parliament. They had trampled it under foot, and if it were re- enacted they would do the same. ( Cheers.) The Catholics had already trampled down all tjieir bar- riers except tlie Church, and if they were allowed to go on for a few years more, THEY WOULD TRAMPLE DOWN THAT TOO. ( Cheers.) He would be almost, sorry to have emancipation carried now. He would then lose all his grandeur. He would then descend from being the ' leading agitator,' to be the ' prosing advocate' at nisi prius— from amusing admiring- millions at the Corn Exchange, to addressing an aged judge and twelve wiseacres in a jury- box. ( Cheers and laughter.) He would be sorry for it also, as the Catholic rent was not yet fully established ; and if the question were now thrown out, he would before three months have it so fixed that they would receive £ 50,000 a- year with ease. If it passed in the Com- mons, they would then hold another general meeting, to petition the Lords of course, and to send' 3000 addresses to the King himself; and although he might be surrounded by German music, and brought daily to his fishing temple, yet he should hear the cry of congregated millions." ( Cheers.)——~ Dublin I'achct. On Sunday se'nnight, as Russell and Co.' s waggon was descending Thornton- hill, between Whitchurch and Blandford, the driver, Win. Porton, omitted to put on the drag chain, in consequence of which the waggon went rapidly down the hill, and the man, endeavouring to stop the horses, fell down, and the wheel went over his head, which was crushed to atoms. GOLD MINE IN MALACCA.— A gold mine of great promise has been lately discovered within three days' journey of Malacca, not far distant from Mount Ophir, in the territory of the East India Company. Tiiere are, it is said, 300 persons employed in dig- ging for the gold, each on his own account. It is stated, that one person could procure a catty and a half of gold iu a year, which sells at the average price of 500 Spanish dollars per catty. Mount Ophir was formerly celebrated for its gold, but its mines were supposed to he exhausted. It appears by a table recently published, that of the nineteen millions and a half of acres which Ireland contains* there are at this moment 4,600,000 uncultivated and perfectly capable of improvement; A northern scientific expedition is about to be un- dertaken. Professor Hanstein has set out on a journey to Siberia, accompanied by Lieut. Due, of the navy ; and at St.. Petersburgh they will meet Dr. Erman, from Berlin, who will go with them as naturalist and astronomer. 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, & c. MELANCHOLY EFFECTS OF GRIEF.— On removing the convicts from the county gaol of Cork, to place them on board a convict ship, one of the prisoners named Barrett was observed to be overwhelmed w ith grief, when ordered to restore to its mother his child of three years old, which he had carried in his arms. He exclaimed " Oh God, my heart, is broken;" and, having gone a short distance, he fell and ex- pired immediately. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict returned—" Died by the visita- tion of God." On Wednesday, during the review, the troops were directed to stand at ease, and most of them dismounted for a few minutes. One of the horses finding himself disengaged, and perhaps thinking he had quite sufficient of exercising, started off out of the ranks at a pretty round pace. The next horse ( not willing to lose good cotnpany) followed the example; and the first, hearing the sound of hoofs at his heels, quickened his speed, till it actually became a very capital race. To stop them was impossible, as all the gates were open, and away they came, a distance of about two miles, till they halted in the Market- place. At first, apprehensions were excited lest the owners had received some injury; hut the facts were soon ascertained, and occasioned no little merriment.— Nottingham Mercury. VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.— Capt. Foster, in the Chanticleer, sailed on Sunday, and Capt. Boteler, in the Hecla, with the Albatross tender, on Monday, from Portsmouth, on their respective surveying voy- ages. The Chanticleer proceeds in the first instance to Rio de Janeiro, and from thence along the East Coast of America to the Straits of Magellan ; she will then go through this channel, and ascertain the bear- ings of different points, with the rise and fall and set of the tides and currents, and the variation of the compass. In November, and the early part of 1829, she will push to the southward, and endeavour to get round the Island of New Shetland. Particular at- tention is to be directed to the Geology of the Southern extremity of America, it being presumed that Coal and Metallic Ores are easily there to be obtained. The Hecla will explore the Western coast of Africa, from the moutli of the Straits of Gibraltar to the Line — a part of the world little known, and in which many dangers exist. INCAUTIOUS USE OF FIRE ARMS — Since the rook- shooting season commenced, several persons have been accidentally shot in consequence of fire- arms having been brought into houses loaded and left in that state. At Brixton, last week, a Mrs. Barham killed her husband. She pointed the gun and jocu- larly said, " Now, Jem, take care of yourself, I know how to let it off." The charge entered Mr. Barham's forehead, and he sunk down a corpse. THE CORN TRADE.— Owing- to an omission, the Isle of Man was not included iu the provisions of the late Corn Law. The consequence was, that immense quantities of foreign corn were taken out of bond at Liverpool, sent to that Island to be ground, and im- ported again into Liverpool in the shape of flour, duty free ! This trade is now, however, at an end, the Bill including the Isle of Man in the general law, received the Royal assent on Tuesday week. HASTINGS.— A new town is now building on the coast, about, half a mile westward, pleasantly situated in a sheltered and fertile valley, and being the spot where William the Conqueror res'ed, and breakfasted himself and troops, after landing at Pevensey Bay, on his march to the field of battle, in all probability it will derive its name from this great warrior. The very elegant and spacious hotel, 170 feet front, facing the sea, is already in a state of great forwardness; 500 workmen are employed in clearing away the trees, bushes, & c. and we are informed that the hotel is to be named William the Conqueror. The stone on which it is said the conqueror regaled himself is to he made into a table, and preserved as a relic in the hall of the hotel.— Maidstone Journal. SINGULAR EFFECT OF LIGHTNING IN CURING PARAI. Y'SIS.— Upon what principle the following extraordinary cure was effected may be matter of disputation ; whether the electric fluid acted as a powerful stimulus to the nervous system, and thus induced a return of sensorial power, or, whether the cure may be referred to the agency of fear, which we have seen in many instances a perfect miracle- worker, are two of the most obvious questions which present, themselves. The facts are these:— A ship, called the New York, was on her passage from London to New- York, a voyage generally performed in about a month, when a stroke of lightning overturned the partitions, but no person was hurt. The vessel was deprived of its conductor, but, on the following day, the captain, dreading another storm, placed a con- doctor upon the main mast. The lightning struck the rod on the same day, and melted it entirely : the iron conductor was also melted, and fell iu drops into the sea. Almost all the passengers observed the water of the sea sink down in a distinct manner, in a certain space round where the electric fluid. had entered the ocean. The rod of the conductor, w hich was melted, was four feet long by five inches and a half in diameter, and the iron conductor was three- tenths of an inch in diameter.— The second stroke of lightning-, like the first, killed no one, but, on the contrary, it, performed a very remarkable cure. A passenger, very old and overgrown with fat, was so much palsied in his limbs, that for three years he had never been able to walk above half a mile, and, after his embarkment, had never been seen to stand up for a single instant. However, soon after the second discharge of electric fluid, which took place near to where the poor invalid was lying, he was observed, with astonishment, parading the deck, which he con- tinued to do for some time, as if he had never been ill. At first he lost his senses, but this did not last long, and the cure was complete: he walked with ease all the rest of the voyage, had the entire use of his limbs when the vessel arrived at New York, and travelled on foot thence to his own residence. CURE FOR SMOKY CHIMNIES.— Mr. Mordan has suggested an effectual plan for preventing the smoking- of chimuies. His fire- place, like many others, had a wide open chimney, aud was con- tinually annoying the family wilh smoke. He determined, therefore, to contract the throat of the chimney in the following manner:— The entire opening at the bottom of the chimney was closed up, with the exception of an upright flue, just above the top of the grate about a foot wide and high, which led into the chimney. To the face of this flue he applied a square flat frame of wrought- iron having upright grooves made ou each side of it, in which a sort of hood made of sheet- iron, could slide up and clown. This hood is open behind, and projects about a foot square in front of the chimney back, over the fire- place or grate? it is sloped off at its top, towards the back of the chimney, and it has a handle in the front to raise and lower it When the hood is elevated, it serves to guide the smoke and heated air into the upright openin leading into the chimney, its sides being closed to St the upright back of the fire place: the fire then burns in the usual manner ; and the chimney never smokes. When, however, he wishes to excite the fire at any time, he lowers the hood until the bottom nearly reaches down to the tops of the cheeks, aud Ihe fire, by the draught thus caused instantly revives. Ill addition to this hood, Mr. Mordan occasionally hangs upon ledges, formed upon each side of it, an appendage made of sheet iron, which lengthens it so that its sides fit cjose upon the tops of the cheeks, aud thus the air can only gain access to the fire through the front and bottom bars of the grate, and then, indeed, the fire burns most vehemently. The following is a copy of the Cheltenham peti- i tion against the withdrawal of small Notes from circulation :— " To ihe Honourable the Corintions of ihe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Par liament assembled. 11 The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Tow n of Cheltenham and its Vicinity, " SHEWETU, That we, the undersigned Petitioners, respectfully approach your Honourable House, in con- sequence of the serious alarm generally fell throughout this pari of the country, in the contemplation of tiie in- tended withdrawal of the . One and Two Pound Notes issued by Provincial Bankers. " Your Petitioners are fully convinced lhat any re- turn from a paper to a metallic currency, which will restrict the circulation of Small Notes, will he pregnant with evils of an alarming nature lo the Commercial, Agricultural, and Manufacturing Districts in every part of England, since the Country Bankers, who have hitherto manifested great liberality to their customers, will he obliged materially to abridge the accommoda- tion, anil thereby produce absolute ruin to numerous branches of Trade. " Under these considerations, and with a strong sense of llieir weighty importance, your Petitioners humbly pray that the Honourable House of Commons will re- peal the present law which limits the issuing of Small Notes to the 5th April, 1829." It seems as if France were making active pre- parations for war— a levy of 60,000 men of the year 1827 has been ordered, which, wi( h the levy of men of 1825 and 1826, raises the amount of new- forces to 25,000, making the total amount of force in F'rance nearly 280,000 men — a pretty decent standing army in time of peace— several ships of war are also in preparation. The celebrated horse Ambo, sire of Sampson, Liston, & c. & c. was found dead ia a ditch on the I- ache Eyes, near Chester, a few days ago. A shocking occurrence has taken place at Acton, near Sudbury. A family of the name of Ranson, having eaten some food cooked in a copper boiler, wanting repair, were all taken ill; the woman died on Friday, and her husband on Monday last; and four children are now lying ill.— Bury Post. On Sunday night last, an aged coach- horse belong- ing to Thomas Dixon Esq. was stolen out of a field near his mansion in Littleton, Cheshire. The thieves, through the darkness of the night, were " taken on the blind side," as fhe faithful old animal had lost the sight of both eyes, and will, therefore, fetch little in the market.— Though every ex rtion has been made to discover the robbers, nothing has yet been heard of them. BEES.— On Monday last, a fine swarm of bees was put into the retro- coupling bee boxes at Jessop's Nursery, Cheltenham, being the first time for some years of their swarming so early in the season. By the use of the above boxes the honey is taken away without destroying the bees, an invention which is entitled to rank among the most useful of modern improvements. Owing to the present very depressed state of the lead market, occasioned by the late extensive import- ations of Spanish ore, the Scotch Mining Company at Leadhills found it necessary, on Thursday, to dismiss no fewer than fifty of their miners from employment. Almost the whole of these men are natives of the place, and have wrought at the mines from their | childhood. The greater proportion of them, too, have wives and families depending upon their labour and earnings for support and maintenance.— Glasgow Chronicle. On Wednesday a greyhound leaped the wall from the library- garden in the Castle, a height of upwards of forty feet, and rolled down the hill to the dead wall opposite Bier- lane. Several persons went to the animal's assistance, and found it had no bones broken, but only stunned by the fall, from which it soon recovered.— Windsor Herald. Upwards of two hundred agricultural labourers and their families, from Kent and Essex, embarked last week at Portsmouth for New York. Five hun- dred more from the inland counties are ready to sail for the same destination— they prefer the United Stales to Canada. Winchester, May 17.— This afternoon, Lord Hill, the Commander of the Forces, accompanied by Sir H. Torrcns, Major- General Sir Colin Campbell, and Lieutenant- General Sir J. W. Gordon, inspected the 21st regiment of Royal Fusileers, now in this garri- son, under the command of Colonel Leahy. They were welcomed on their arrival with a merry peal from the cathedral bells, and proceeded up to the barracks, where the regiment was drawn lip in. line. His Lordship, after minutely inspecting the equip- ments, and witnessing various evolutions, wa. s pleased to express himself in the highest terms of approbation of the effective state of discipline at which this fine body of men had so shortly arrived. His Lordship and suite afterwards dined with the officers of the 21st, at their mess- room, where a splendid entertain- ment was provided on the occasion. HORSE STEALING.— John Derrick, a horse- dealer at Bedminster, near Bristol, was on Thursday week taken to Guildford, in custody of a constable, charged on suspicion of stealing- two horses, the property of Mr. William Smallpiece, at the Warren Farm, near Guildford. The prisoner was committed for trial on the evidence of a Mr. Tozer, who had bought the horses of him. The horses in question were stolen, with two others, from the prosecutor's stable in Janu- ary last, ever since which Mr. Smallpiece has been indefatigable in his personal exertions to discover fhe thieves, and, consequently, after travelling several hundred miles, recovered all the horses, and has ap- prehended another man, who is committed for trial, in Somersetshire, on suspicion of being concerned in the same robbery. The ward inquests are proceeding with great dili- gence in the collection of evidence against those trad- ing improperly in the city, without having taken up their freedoms. There are upwards of 10,000 resi- dents in the city who, it is considered, may, by law, be compelled to take up their freedoms. The pro- duce of their fees to the city amounting upon their freedoms is estimated at £ 240,000.— Morning Chron. MODERN INVENTION.— The public attention was on Tuesday night attracted to a house in the Strand, over against the end of Norfolk- street, rather bril- liantly lighted np with gas. On inquiring into this novelty, we found that a gentleman has recently adopted a mode of generating gas over a common kitchen fire, and purifying it so well by a new process, which is yet a secret, that it may not only be intro- duced with safety into houses, but without causing any bad smell. The novelty of the invention consists principally in the adaptation of a retort to a common kitchen fire. It is placed horizontally across the fire, so that the flame of the tire is impelled powerfully under it. In the Journal du Pharmaeie, tliere is a case of spontaneous combustion, recorded by Professor Ru- dolphi, of a man who suddenly felt a pain in the arm, similar to that produced by the blow of a stick, and immediately perceived in the same spot a small flame, which burnt his shirt. There is also a case of a girl rpentioned, seventeen years of age, in whom a kind of blueish sulphureous flame appeared around the finger; the flame could not be extinguished by water; it burnt the clothing brought in contact with it, but could only be distinguished in the dark. The best electrometers placed in contact with the patient, presented no sign of electricity.— Lancet. PRESERVING WINES IN DRAUGHT.— M. Imery, of Toulouse, has furnished the following simple means of preserving wines in draught for a consider- able time;' it is merely to pour a flask of fine olive oil into the cask. It is by a similar process that they preserve wine in Tuscany, which they are accustomed to keep in large bottles, the glass of which is too thin to resist the effect of corking them tight. The oil, spread in a thin layer upon the wine, hinders the evaporation of its alcoholic part, as well as prevents it from combining with the atmospheric air, which would not only turn the wine sour, but also change its constituent parts. HORRID OCCURRENCE.— On Friday, was com- mitted to Shepton- Mallet Bridewell, by Sir. T. S. Champneys, Bart. Sarah Mitchell, wife of a labouring man at Frome, charged with stc aling a quantity of silver plate from a gentleman's house in that town. Through the humanity of the committing magistrate, her child, about seven months old, was allowed to be taken with her; but no sooner was the woman con- fined in a cell of the Bridewell, than in a dreadful fit of insanity ( to which, from habitual drinking, she has been for many years subject), she seized her infant by its legs, and dashed its brains out against tbe bedstead!— The wretched woman acknowledged after- wards, that she had heretofore destroyed another child in the same way.— A coroner's inquest was held on the body of the infant on Saturday; when a verdict was returned of Wilful Murder against the mother, The Junior Fellows of Dublin University have it in contemplation to petition Parliament to have the statute repealed which enjoins single- blessedhess on them; and it is said that the Senior Fellows conctir generally with the Juniors as to the expediency Of such a repeal: KIDDERMINSTER WEAVERS.— At a meeting of the magistrates of the lower division of Halfshire hundred, held at Kidderminster, an order was made: by them lipon the treasurer for the county ( under art act of Parliament), to pay Mr. Bowyer, a carpet; manufacturer, the whole of the damages dope to his building and furniture by a mob in March last, and he yesterday received the same. This proceeding will convince the deluded workmen that their riotous proceedings will not cause any loss to their masters. The weavers are deceived by a committee, who pub- lish misrepresentations and scurrilous abuse against the masters, in order to irritate the weavers against them : it is the interest of this committee, who arfc well paid, to keep the men out of employ as long as: they can. Some of the weavers have applied for parish assistance; this was refused, but at the same time an offer was made them of constant work, to* be guaranteed to them for at least twelve months, whereby a man, with a child from ten to twelve years of age, may, by working twelve hours, get 5s. p. day* without any deduction; this they refused, preferring going about the country begging, and leaving their families at home in a wretched state.— Worcester Herald. LIMERICK.— In consequence of information re- i received by Mr. Vokes, he dispatched four men of his police to search certain houses in the mountains of the county of Tipperary, in the vicinity of Birch- grove, where he had reason to suspect that James Kirby, who stands indicted with being the principal in the murder of Daniel Mara, was concealed. After a long search, the police observed a man approaching armed with a cut- down musket and pistol— the for- mer he presented at the police, who pursued him, when he threw away his gun, pistol, powder- horn, and hat; and, finding the police closing on him, he threw off his clothes, and ran in a state of nudity through the country, and finally got off, as the police were so harassed, after a march of nearly forty miles, that they were unable to come up with him. Kirby's arms and clothes are now in Mr. Vokes's possession ; and there was found in Kirby's pocket his prayer- book, in which are written the names of all his associates in the above murder, and the days on which many of them forfeited their lives. Kirby is concerned in many crimes which have been committed for some time past in the county of Tipperary, and his name is included in the government proclama- tion. On Sunday morning last, as a milkwoman named Lloyd was proceeding along Dockhead, Bermondsey, carrying her pails, followed by a little terrier she kept to watch her premises, the animal on a sudden began to snap and bite at other dogs passing along. Believing that it was seized with canine madness, the woman immediately returned home, and on the way it became more furious, and attempted to bite several persons. When she arrived at her house, her son, a lad of 18, proceeded to secure it, and while he was tying it up the enraged animal bit him upon the hand. A respectable tradesman, named Tuffrey, residing near the spot, witnessing the accident and conscious the dog was mad, immediately procured a pistol for the purpose of destroying it. Having taken aim at the animal, he pulled the trigger, upon which the weapon burst, and part of the barrel having struck the unfortunate man in the eye, it w- as com- plete^ knocked out of the socket, and otherwise injured him so seriously, that but little hope is entertained of his recovery. The dog was killed by the explosion, and the young man who was bitten by it had the parts surrounding the bite immediately cut out. Tile late Duke of Gordon, who was famous for his skill in mechanics, was especially remarkable for the exquisite finish of his workmanship in turning. His grace's taste in this department was so well known, that Queen Charlotte, the mother of his present Majesty, once requested of the duke to turn a set of neck ornaments for her, which he did in gold, in a style so much to the satisfaction of the royal personage for whom they were executed, that she was pleased to wear them at a drawing- room, and to express in the highest terms her admiration of the present. The duke, in recounting the anecdote, used to laugh heartily at the idea of his success as a workman ; " but," added he, jocularly, " I thought it as well to take myself off to Gordon- castle, else I might perhaps have been appointed necklace- maker to the Queen and the Princesses." — Caledonian Mercury. On Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, Mr. Nightingale, a tailor, of Carlo. n- sireet, observed a peacock upon a hay stack, a short distance from the gravel wharf oil the Trent side, and near to Wilford- lane. Hi- ascended a ladder, wilh a young companion, named William Richards, son of Mr. John Richards, of Knotted- alley, and lied Ihe creature's legs with his handkerchief; he llien directed the lad to hold the bird till be got upon the ladder, which he performed by grasping its legs ; but the bird, not fancying such restraint, spread its wings, and, after fluttering a litile, made a bold sally from the hay- stark. The lad slill kept his hold, aud Ihe peacock actually carried him over ihe hedge, in a straight line, upwards of twenty yards, when, by struggling, Ihe youth brought his aerial voyage to an end, and the bird came to Ihe ground, was secured, and brought to Nottingham. Il was afterwards found lo belong to Mis. Smith, of Bridgeford, and was returned the following day. The hay stack is about twenty. two feet in height.— Nottingham Mercury. NORTH- EAST WIND.— In the last number of Dr. Brewster's Journal, Mr. Marshall states it to be highly probable that the only periodical wind which we have in this island, is that from the north- east, which prevails generally from about the middle of April to the 7th or 8th of May, and sometimes longer : it may be thus accounted for. In Sweden and Norway, the country is covered with snow to the middle of May or longer. This frozen covering, which forms during the winter, grows gradually shallower to the 15th or 16th of May, or until the sun has acquired 17 cleg, or 18 deg. of north declination ; while, on the other hand, the valleys and mountains of England have received an accession of temperature of 24 deg. or 25 deg. On this account, when the temperature of Sweden and Norway is cooled clown by snow of 32 deg. that of Britain is 24 deg. or 25 deg. higher than that of the preceding countries; because, while the ground is covered with snow, the rays of the sun are incapable of heating the air above 32 cleg. For this reason, the air of England is 24 deg. or 25 deg. more heated than that of the before- mentioned countries. The air of Sweden and Norway will then, of course, by the laws of compara- tive specific gravities, displace that of England; and from- the relative situation of those countries with this country, will produce a north- east wind. This current is commonly stronger by day than by night, because the variation of temperature in the air of Great Britain is at that time the greatest, being frequently from 50 deg. to 60 dcg. about noon, and sinking to 32 deg. in the night.
