My dear Duke,— In justice to myself, I cannot acquiesce for a moment in the construction which your letter of last night puts upoft my Conduct. You cannot refuse to me tlVe right of knowing the motives of my own actions, and 1 solemnly declare that, in both my letters, I was actuated l> y one and the same feeling. It was simply this:— That it was hot for me, but for you, as the head of the Government, lo decide how far my vote made it expedient to remove rfre from his Majesty's seivice. I felt that I had no alternative, consistently with personal honour ( in a difficulty not of my own seeking or cr » ating), but to give that vote : that the question in itself was one of minor importance; that the disunion was more in appearance thttn in reality ; lint I also felt that, po » « ibly, you might fake a different view of it, and that, in cane you shou'd, I ought ( as I had dune on a similar occasion with Lord Liverpool) to relieve you from any difficulty, arising out of personal consideration towards me, iu deciding upon a step to which you might find it ytftir public iutv to resort on the occasion. It was under this impression alone that I wrote to you immediately upon my return from the House of Commons. If you had not misconceived that impression, as well as the purport of my second letter, I am persuaded » that you could not suppose me guiltv of the arrogance of expecting " that you and his Majesty's Government hould submit yourselves to the necessity of soliciting me to remain in my office," or do me the injustice of believing that I could be capable of placing you in the alternative of choosing between the continuance of my services ( such as they are) and Ihe loss to your Ad- ministration of one particle of character, which, I agree with you, is the foundation of public confidence. If, understanding my communication as I intended it to be understood, you had, iu any " ay, intimated to me, either that the occurrence, however unfortiiuate, was not one of sufficient moment to render it necessary for you, 011 public grounds, to act iu the manner iti which 1 had assumed that you possibly might think it necessary, or that you were under that necessity, either case there would have been au end <> f the matter. In the first supposition, I should have felt thai I had done what, iu honour aud fairness towards you, 1 was bound to do ; but it never could have entered my imagination that I had claimed or received any sacrifi whatever from you, or any member of his Majesty's government. On the other hand, nothing can be further from my intention than lo express an opinion that the occasion was not one iu which you might fairly consider it your duty to advise his Majesty to withdraw from me the seals of office, on the ground of this vole. I do not, iheiefore, complain; but 1 cannot allow that my re tnoval shall be placed 011 any other ground. I cannot allow that it was my own act: siill less can I admit that when I had no other intention than to relieve the question on which you had to decide fronratfy personal embarrassment, this step, on my part, should be ascribed to feelings the very reverse of those by which alone I was actuated, either towards you or his Ma- jesty's government.

Il is addressed to me at two o'clock in the morning, immediately after a debate and division in the House of Commons. It informs me thai you lose no time in affording me au opportunity of placing your office in other hands, as the only means in your power of pre venting an injury to the King's service which you describe. It concludes by " regretting the necessity for troubling the with this communication." Could I consider this in any other light than as a formal tender of the resignation of your office, or that 1 bad any alterrtaii ve but either lo solicit you lo remain in otliee contrary to your sense of duty, or to submi your leller to the King? If you had called on me the ue* l morning after you vote, and had explained to inein conversation what'had passed iu the House of Commons, the character of th communication would have heeu quite different; and I might have felt myself at liberty to discuss the whole subject with you, and freely to give an opinion upun any point connected with it. But I must still think that if 1 had not considered a leller, couched in ihe terms in which that letter i couched, and received under Ihe circumstances nude which I received il, as a tender of resignation, and had not laid il before the King, I should have exposed the King's Government and myself to verv painful miscon atructious.

Not denting thai my tirsl letter might lie- capable of ihe conslrnitioi* which you put upon it, I Would ask roo, whether it would he usual, lifter a construction has been from the first moment explicilly disalowed, lo persist that it is the right one ? It being, however, the construction l. i which you iwtliere, I must assume, r. s yoii laid the letter, before his Majesty, thai- you advised his Majesty upon it, and lhal liis Majesty is, therefore, under ihe same misapprehension as yourself of wh-^ i I meant; ihe more especially, as I have no means of knowing whether my subsequent letters have been laid before his Majesty.

This lelter was written as soon as I w-. n given to un- derstand by Lord Dudley, who palled here after an in- terview with you this morning, that bin Mnjesiy had not signified any intention of granting ine the honour of an audience: No other mode, therefore, remaiuiuu: opt- u to me- of conveying my sentiments to the King, T addressed myself to you, for the purpose of bringing before his Majesty, in the shape of a written communi- cation, what 1 am prevented from stating to his Ma- jesty io person. I feel confident that you will not deny me this favour, and you will he satisfied by the contents of my letter ( which I now return), that in writing it, nothing was further from my intention than to attempt to intrude myself between you and the arrangements which, iipou my removal from office ( for such I have considered the result of our correspondence since your letter of the 21st), you have received hr » Majesty's instructions to make. Your letter, communicating this fact, reached me about half- past seven this evening. I thank you for the information, and for the kind'manner iu which you advert to any feeble assistance which 1 may have bear- able to give to your Administration, as well as for this expression of the concern with, which you have advised his Majesty to place my office in other hands.

My dear Hoskisson, — I have received your letter of yesterday, accompanied by another letter from you dated also yesterday, which I had returned to Lord Dudley, under ihe impression that I ought not to open it without your previous consent, under the circum* stances that existed at the time I received it. I have laid both belore the King. Iu answer I have only to repeat that I considered your lelter of the 2UH » as a formal tender of the resignation of your office* and that the circumstance of its being marked 4' private and confidential" did not alter the character of the leller, or relieve me from the painful duly of communi- cating its contents to his Majesty, as I did in person. Your subsequent letters did not, according to my under- standing of them, convey any disavowal of your intention to tender your resignation. 1 laid them before his Majesty, and my answers to them, and communicated to I, ord Dudley, that I had done so. The King informed me, I think on Wednesday the 21st, that. you had desired to have an audience of his Majesty; aud that he intended to receive you on the day but one after. I did not consider it my duty to advise liis Majesty to receive you at an earlier period. It is scarcely necessary for me to observe, that your letter to me of the 20th was entirely your own act, and wholly un- expected by me. If the letter was written hastily and incon- siderately, surely the natural course was for you to withdraw rt altogether, andJhua relieve me from the position in which, without any fault of mine, it bad placed me— compelling n> e either to accept the resignation which it tendered, or to so. licit you to continue to hold your office. This latter step was, in my opinion, calculated to do me pefsooaHy, and to the King's government, great disservice . j and it appeared to me that the only mode by which we could be extricated from the difficulty iu which your letter had placed us, was that the withdrawal of your letter should tie your spontaneous act, aud that it should be adopted without delay. The interference of his Majesty, pending our correspond- ence, would not only have placed his iVl. ijesty in a situation ii> which he ought not to- be placed in such a question, but. ft would have subjected me to the imputation that the inter- ference had taken place on my suggestion, or with my con- nivance. 1 did not consider it my duty to advise his Majesty'to inter- fere in any manner whatever. • His Majesty informed ine this dav that he had written to you tiiis morning appointing an audience in the course of the day.

J The long- expeeted debate on the withdrawal of small notes from the English currency, was com- menced on Tuesday last, in the House of Commons. It was opened by the Chancellor of the Exchequer moving- for leave to bring in a Bill to restrain the circulation of small Scotch notes in England •, and issue was* joined on the Amendment of Sir James Graham, for a Select Committee to take the whole question into consideration, previous to the adoption of any further measure affecting- it. The gist of the question is— in what degree will the withdrawal of paper money have a safe and salutary tendency ?— The difference of Opinion . on this point is extremely wide. The (/ old party assure us that the withdrawal is essential to restore the cur- rency to a sound and healfhv state ; that it is easy to execute, aud that its operation will be safe and imper- ceptible. The paver party, on the contrary, seem to think the notes of a respectable ffr'm the perfection of modern wisdom, and declare that their extinction is ' fraught with danger and difficulty; that instead of the circulating medium acquiring vigour thereby, it Wilt be crippled and cramped until it ceases to circu- late at all, and finally break down with an awful panic before, and a disgraceful suspension of c^ sh payments behind. How is this wondrous diversity of views to be accounted for? We suspect that neither" party are near the truth, nor can see distant results distinctly. In this need, they apply the tele- scopic aid of theory, and, probably, look through different ends of the instrument. The Government, attempt a safe and middle way between these. two extremes, and have resolved upon withdrawing all notes under the value of £ 5. The detail which the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave of the meaning and operation of the Act of 18* 26, will remove the fears of many reasonable but misinformed persons. In the first place, it has been imagined that on the 29th of April next, every small note must be presented and paid off, and that there would be a general rush and scramble for gold. The Act merely provides that they shall die a natural and gradu. il death by attrition. They will be lawful money as long as they keep out of the Banker's hands; but when once paid off they must not be re- issued. Secondly, great alarm has been felt that there will be a difficulty in procuring a supply of gold to substi- tute for the small notes. The difficulty, of course, depends on the quantity of gold we can raise, compared With that of the paper to be withdrawn. The latter has been supposed to be immense, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer declares it. to be only two millions and a iialf. The former, on the contrary, has been alleged to be deficient-, whereas the same Minister assdres Parliament, that more than sufficient has already been distributed to the Country Bankers for the purpose. Thirdly, fears have been expressed that the withdrawal of small notes would cause a • contraction of the currency, which wOuld materially affect prices. Mr. Goulburn replies that the present circulation is a, s follows:— Gold, 22 millions; silver, 8 millions', Bank of England notes, 20 millions; country ditto, above « -£ 5, 13 millions; and of small fiotes, only 2- j millions! So that, even supposing that not one sovereign of the gold substituted for the small notes remains in circulation, there will be only 2s! millions subtracted from 65~. This result is very different from what those who are mainly interested in it apprehended. The debate was adjourned until Thursday, when the House of Commons adopted the views of IV! mis- ters j by a majority of 154 to 45, and the withdrawal © f the country one- pound notes may, therefore, be considered as tixed and inevitable. The small notes have, of course, been gradually wearing away during the last few years, and, with the strong prejudice on the part of the public for their circulation, it is not to be wondered at, that the local distresses which may have recently occurred, should be attributed to their suppression. Mr. Peel, however, insists, not only that such is not the case, but that, on the average, a decided improvement in the condition of the country has token place during the withdrawal of these notes; and really the most obstinate mourner over public distress must be stag- gered in his grief by the Right I^ on. Gentleman's prcVinOy that, although we had less paper money, we h: ul more beer, tea, spirits, soap, cotton, and candles — more, in short, of all the necessaries and comforts of life - in 1827 than in 1825 I One may easily be misred in argument by drawing inferences from the amoutit of revenue or the power of production ; but £& sfsa. mjitii> n is a sure criterion.. If a people is better fed and better clothed than usual, there can be no doubt, of the improvement in their condition it was very desirable that the question should be Settled, and still more so, that the Public should regard it as such. In this light, Sir J. Graham's motion and the decision of the House thereon, will have a beneficial result. rOSTSCiRIIPT. LONDON, Monday Night, June 9, 1* 28. 1' HICKS OF lted. 3 per Cli. 3 pel Ct.

It is expected that his Excellency, accompanied by the noble and distinguished Portuguese who have been under the necessity of seeking refuge in Eng- land, from the tyranny of Dun Miguel, will leave London for that purpose either to- morrow or Wed- nesday. Since the news of the counter- revolution has arrived, the Marquis has had several interviews with the Duke of Wellington and other niembers of the administration. It is expected that the arrival of this nobleman, who is most deservedly popular in Portu- gal, will prove such an accession to the constitutional party as to render atiy attempt at opposition.. by Miguel and his satellites altogether hopeless.

Several other Noble Lords spoke on the subject, after which the motion was agreed to nem. cor. ' . In the House of Commons last night, the'Mis- cellaneous Estimates were the chief business before the house ; and after a long conversation they were all assented to. Lieut. Gen. Sir John Byng is spoken of as successor to Sir George M urray, late Commander or the Forces iu Ireland. Sir E.

Lord Dunglass, who was Precis Writer in the Foreign Office, and who accompanied the Duke of Wellington to Russia, is to succeed Lord Howard de Walden as Under- Secretary of State in the Foreign OO. ce. There is a great deal of nonsense afloat just now on the subject of a Military Government, as if the Duke of Wellington's being at the head of ail'airs, and a few General Officers being included in the Government, were likely to be destructive of public liberty. We would not, by any means, deprecate a due and proper jealousy on this head ; but, we need not tell those who give currency to false alarms that they may, like the boy in the fable; cry 44 wolf,' till that cry will be disregarded. The time, unfortunately, is gone by, when the very name of a standing army, which sounded so hateful in the ears of our ancestors, creates Ihe same nervousness among us. Thanks to foreign wars and high taxation, the- country can no longer look to its trained bands, or its militia, as its fifcdy OcnstrtTTtional foTce. At the same time to hint at the Duke of Wellington over turning the Govern- ment, or converting it into a military despot. sm, is, as far as present appearances or rational probabilities go, as mere a dream as ever entered the head of the most besotted and imbecile of modern political dreamers. The wey, indeed, in which the British Army is officered, is no small earnest that public liberty has nothing to fear from it; as there is not a regiment in the service which is not of itself indigenous to the soil, and the greater part of whose oflicers are not con- nected with those whose rights and property they would be most naturally ready to defend. Away then w ith this trash about a Military Government ! It may do very well for those who think the Government best placed in the hands of a regiment of talkers. But we suspect that the ' country, m general has seen, or rather heard, enough of these ; besides having yet to lea- m why those who fought, its battles against its foreign enemies are 011 that account one jot the more likely to become its foes at home ^- English Chronicle.

We imagine that our musical friends in this neighbourhood will very anxiously anticipate the arrival of Messrs. EDWAROS, with their extensive scale of MUSICAL GLASSES, at the Great Room of the Lion Inn, iu this town, where they intend to perform on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next. The very peculiar sweetness of this descrip- tion of music, added to its novelty, cannot fail rendering it attractive to all who have cars that can be charmed by harmonious sounds. The following' remarkable instances of longevity, iu the same tamily, appear 011 a tomb- stone in Dervven church- yard, in the county of Denbigh:— " Underneath lie the remains of John Ellis; of Bankie, fanner, and Jane his wife.

Ox FORD, JUNE 6.— On Thursday last, tlic degree of Master of Alls was conferred upon the Hon. and Rev. Evcrard Robert Bruce Feililing, of Oriel College. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland gave a grand entertainment oil Tuesday to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, the Duchess of Saxc Meiniugcn, and a distinguished party. In the evening her grace had a splendid assembly, which was very numerously and fashionably attended. The King of Denmark is about to resign ! anil the Danes, we are told, are to have a constitution similar to that of England or Holland,—— the similarity between the constitutions of which countries is, how- ever, not very apparent. The Bimiinghairi Chamber' of Commerce, has memorialised the Board of Trade, urging an equalization of the duties upon East and West Itidia sugar. On Saturday evening, young Berkley, tlie pedes- trian, performed the singular'feat of walking fifteen miles in three hours, bachuord. « , at lichfield. On Friday last, an Inquisition was taken before George VVingfield, Gent. Coroner, on view of the body of William Thomas, which had been found floating iu the Severn, near the Welsh Bridge, on the preced- ing day— The deceased had been missing for some days; but there being uo evidence to shew by what means he had got into the river, the Jury returned a verdict of " found drowned." Committed to our County Gaol, Jaines Carney, charged with having embezzled a quantity of goods, In the amount of sixty pounds, the property of Felix M'Uieriian. On Wednesday, Hit hard Gillham was executed at Uchestcr, for the murder, at Bath, of Maria Baguall, his fellow- servant, as noticed in former papers.— On the day preceding his execution, the wretched culprit made a full, explicit, and unreserved confession of his guilt. On Monday last, a man who had been committed to Hereford county gaol oil a charge of poaching in the parish of Hope- under- Uinmore, under tiie name of James Herbert, was removed to Gloucester Gaol. He was convicted iu April, but, escaped from the constable, and was afterwards apprehended. In consequence of something which transpired in prison, it was deemed proper to apply to the Governor of Gloucester Gaol,- aud after some investigation one of the officers of the prison was sent over to Hereford county gaol, who immediately recognized the prisoner Herbert, as a very different person to what he re- presented himself. Uis real name is Mills, and he was confined in Gloucester Gaol, before the last summer assizes, charged with burglary at Chelten ham, and effected his escape from thence. His two companions wl » p were concerned with him in the robbery, were convicted, and have been transported for life. When Mills was about to leave the gaol, it was observed to him, that he had succeeded tolerably well in deceiving every person as to his never having been in prison before, when he only replied " it was his duty to do so, in the peculiar situation in wh'. ch he was placed."

THE EARI, OF ELDON.— In the House of Peers, on Thursday night, Lord King, with his usual bad taste, made some allusions to the Earl of Eldon ; on which the venerable nobleman said,' Before either the noble lord opposite, orpersons. in other places, made charges against him, they ought first to ascertain whether there was any truth in their imputations. He would take this opportunity of declaring that no part had ever been taken by him either in the dissolutions of ministries or the formations of new administrations. He w ished not to meddle in such matters— he was here for the purpose alone of doing his duty to his country— he was here alone to fulfil the solemn pledge'by which he was bound to that country— and he would, therefore, repel with indignation and con- tempt those taunts which had been thrown out in language that had fallen from the noble lord opposite. Though his life had been a long one, yet he thanked God that he had never disgraced the character which that life hail supported. He had not disgraced it himself, and he would never sit by and allow it to be disgraced by any other man.* We have reason to believe ( and in saying this we do not merely echo what has been stated in the papers, but speak from the private sources which we have of knowing the fact) that if the Duke of Wellington had searched through England, from one extremity to the other, he could not have found a man better qualified than Sir George Murray, to discharge the duties of the Colonial Office. There is scarcely a colony which Sir George has not himself personally visited, or with the affairs and local circumstances of which he does not possess an intimate acquaintance. With the West Indies in particular he is conversant; and it may therefore be regarded as a most fortunate event, that at a moment when there exists in these important dependencies of the British empire so unfortunate an irritation, a minister should be appointed, who knows the real condition of the colonists, and who, it is therefore but reasonable to assume, will be disposed to listen to their complaints.— With respect to the Earl of Aberdeen, he is confessedly a man of erudition and classical attainments, possessing also great weight with the continental courts, especially with that court ( Austria) which it is at present our policy and interest to conciliate. Could then a titter person be found, to fill the office of Foreign Secretary ? Brighton Gazette. Gold and silver, from their being the representatives in the whole civilised world, of every other species of property, have acquired an influence over the ima- ginations of men, which would almost seem to be the effect of magic. They are not looked upon by the mass of mankind as merely merchantable commodities; one who possesses goods wherewith to purchase gold, being reckoned far less fortunate than he who has gold in his coffers, which may be turned into goods. The idea, however, of the importance of the precious metals, although extravagantly exaggerated, is by no means devoid of foundation in truth. They are less liable to considerable fluctuations in value, than any other articles of commerce; they are always ex- changeable for other species of property— always sure of finding a market; and, generally speaking, they are so convenient in point of compass that a man, who has a guinea in his pocket, may be said to carry in that small bulk, a whole load of bread.— Weekly Review. FISHING.— At a meeting of the county magistrates, held on Saturday, iu the Shire Hall, in Stafford, William Yates was convicted in the mitigated penalty of £ 1 and costs, on statutes 7 and 8 Geo. 4, c. 29, sec. 34, for having on the 28th day of May last, at the parish of Baswich, in that county, unlawfully and wilfully, with a net, taken and destroyed fish in a certain water, being the private property of Sir Clifford Constable, Bart. By the aforesaid stat. 8, 35, it is enacted, " that if any person shall at any time be found fishing against the provisions of this act, it shall be lawful for the owner of the ground, water, or fishery, where such offender shall be so found, his servants or any person authorised by him, to demand from such offender any rods, lines, hooks, nets, or other implements for taking and destroying fish, which shall then be in his possession ; and in case such offender shall not immediately deliver up the same, to seize and take the same from him for the use of such owner."

The following Hi was the Inscription on the Plate : The Right Honourable CECIL WELD FORESTER, Baron Forester, of Willey, Died 22.1 May, 1828, In the Sixty- first jear of his age. Lordship married the Lady Katherine Manners, daughter to His Grace Jolin Diike of Rutland, and left a numerous family. The family paw, the pulpit, mid the Communion Table were hung with block cloth aud crape, and majestic escutcheons of his Lordship's armorial Ueur. iuys. The Funeral Service was performed bv the Rev. William Bates, Iris Lordship's Domestic' Cluipt" tfi'; and it is believed that not less than 10,01) 0 persims had assembled on this occasion ' o witness the' inter, meat of one who was honoured iu life, and in demli lamented, by all those that bad the pleasure of bis acquaintance. To ihe poor his Lordship hud, at nfl pei tods, been a generous benefactor; and in, every relation of private ami public life his conduct had bec- ii sueli ns to render his decease a serious loss, - not only to it is family and to the distinguished circle in which he moved, but to the community in general. During llie whole of the distressing' ceremony, the demeanour of the immense multitude thai hud assem- bled was silent nnd most respectful, fully evincing the esteem and veneration felt for the uimory of llieir late friend and benefactor, At the shearing of the Cheviot Rams, which took place upon the Crown Allotment of the Great Forest of Brecon, eight fleeces, t-. ken promiscuously from the whole clip, weighed 53 lbs. More than two- thirds of these rams were bred upon the spot. The Society of Arts held its annual meeting on Mini.' ay, for the purpose of distributing the rewards to the several candidates in the fine aits, mechanics, agriculture, and commerce. The large gold medal was awarded to Lord Newborough, for planting above 3,700,000 forest trees on his estates in Carnar- vonshire and Denbighshire.— In manufactures, the only subject which obtained the society's reward, was the specimen of native manufacture from the hair of the Cashmere goat. Mr. C. T. Tower, of South Weald, Essex, who obtained the large gold medal for his successful speculation in this oriental article of manufacture, imported some time ago four Cashmere goats into this country, which have now increased to • 27. Their hair is combed at intervals with ail instrument like a curry- comb, and in the operation, part of the hair comes off, which is used in the manufacture of shawls. The shawl exhibited was gathered in the raw material, spun, and wove in England, so that it it altogether of native manufacture. It was stated that the King takes a great interest in the success of this manufacture, and the shawl is in- tended as a present to his Majesty, as the first suc- cessful sample of British art anil industry in this line of production. AN EARTHQUAKE. The effects of this awful . visitation of Providence, were severely felt, about ten o'clock on Monday night, the 2d instant, by the inhabitants of St. Ishmael parish, about three miles from Milford, and on part of the farm of Skerryback, occupied by Mr. W. Whitton, and on the estate of the Rev. D. B. Allen 11 commenced with a rumbling noise like distant thunder, and continued incessantly for above 20 minutes. A solid body of grey rock, adjacent to the Sandy Haven Shore, and parallel to the sea opposite to the Stack Rock in Milford Harbour, was entirely rent asunder, and separated by tlie shock into a thousand pieces, throwing large masses of it to a considerable distance ; the adjacent rocks, and part of the hill, on which there was a thriving plantation of timber overhanging, were separated from the main land by this dreadful convulsion of nature, and several of the trees split and torn up by the roots. The noise was terrific, and heard for many miles around. A continued cracking noise is still heard in the rocks as of the breaking of dry sticks. NEWTOWN, MONTGOMERYSHIRE.— On the 29th oil. the comine of age of Evan Stephens, Esq. of Newtown, and of Cryrliell, Radnorshire, was ushered in al a very early hour by tlie ringing of bells and oilier demonstrations of joy. A line fat ox and three sheep were drawn through the streets by the. populace, ( headed bv a band of music, fla^ s, and favours.) wilh bands round their' hats having au appropriate motto, followed by some huudreds of spectators, till they came ill front of Mr. Steptwas's house, where they were regaled with plenfv of ewru? da ; they then proceeded lo the Klephaut and Cas'tlu Inn, kept by Mr. Stanley, and were plentifully supplied with good ale. One of the sheep v. as the gift of Mr. Stanley, and was distributed by him to the poor. The populace then proceeded to the White I. ion Inn, belong- ing to I\ lr. Ste- iheos, where sheep were roasted, and, with beef, plum pudding, the ringers and a large party dined, anil spent a most cheerful evening, ' file ox and the third sheep were taken to the Harp inn, another house of Mr. Stephens's, kept by Mr. Biilh. ck. where the ox was cut up and given to the poor; and a most sumptuous dinner pro- vided by Mrs. Bullock, which did her the highest credit, aud wheie a party of respectable tradesmen and the tenantry, between forty and fifty in number, sat down ; the healths of the young gentleman and of the oilier members of his family were drank, together witli the customary toasts upon such occasions, and the hilarity of the evening was kept up with the utmost conviviality till a very late hour. m& IfMBftr laiBilBAILUDo SHREWSBURY.

THE POOR LAWS. [ FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,} The Poor Laws of unhappy Old England are at present in a state of great tribulation and jeopafdy. TJie press loads them with, diatribes—. they are fiercely attacked in Parliament— the Government abandons them-^ and their friends are silent, or only speak to make admissions to their injury. The history of these laws for many years has Been exceedingly curious. Our improvers have almost annoally, in oue way or other, arraigned ftoem before Parliament, as being most defective in form, and most injurious in operation-— return - tipon return has been moved for aud . printed to give evidence against them-'— committee upon committee Has sat and reported upon them— yet, strange to say, although their defects and baleful eonsequen have. been represented to be so glaring ai. d ruinous, no one has been able fo devise any plaunible scheme for their 44 improvementIndividual im- provers, indeed, have iu succession delivered them- selves of new systems, ravishing ly perfect iu their own eyes, bul these have been so manifestly in- ferior to the old system in the eyes of the whole, that no attempt has beeu made to adopt them. In titter despair of amending, the improvers now think of nothing but destroying. It is now practically admitted, that the Poor Laws are capable of im- provement; and Mr. Klaney boldly comes forward with a bill to abolish them, iu respect of the most important part of their operation. We are, therefore, not called upon to enquire whether the Poor Laws, in their nature or adminis- tration, need reform— whether this measure or that will remove defects which they may exhibit, or re- medy abuses with which they may be tainted; the ( juration before us is, whether they shall, or shall not, be abolished, iu so far us they give relief to able- bodied labourers. When it is duly considered how vitally this Question bears, directly and indirectly, ou the bread, morals, and conduct of the mass of the working classes, and, in consequence, on the best interests of the whole community, it will be con- ceded by all that a more important one could not well be propounded. Honest and patriotic men, however they may disagree iu other respects, will Be. unanimously of opinion, 1st, That it ought to be decided upon fact, reasou, aud justice, without any reference to fashionabledbctriucs and party creeds; and, 2d, That every thing which can be urged in favour of the Poor Laws ought to be dispassion- ately, carefully, aud even indulgently examined, for the sake of the many millions, who, while they are threatened with the loss of their subsistence in the hour of need, cannot make themselves heard, and can scarcely find au advocate to plead their cause against the tremendous mass of power, pre judice, and interest, which is arrayed1 against them. We certainly can find but little to defer us from dealing Uprightly with the Poor Laws in the confi- dent and vehement vituperations with which they are assailed. We have only to look around us to be convinced that these vituperations flow in the main from any thing rather than know ledge, truth, and justice. The dogmas of th^ Economists have no weight with us, because we believe ' them to be ih tly opposed to experience. Our Scottish fellow- subjects make it a matter of natiouu. lity to inveigh against the Poor Laws of England, but this docs not move us, because they deal in unsubstantial in- vective, are prompted by an improper feeling, and speak froth fallacious hearsay evidence. We think not a whit the worse of these laws, because some Irish absentee landlord proclaims them iu Parlia- ment to be a public plague. What can such a man know of the English Poor Laws? Nothing. Why docs lie revile them? That lie may not be com- pelled to give bread to the poor wretches who are starving on his Irish estate. We hold an absentee landlord to be morally, whatever he may be iu law, a heinous criminal; and his opinion will not sway ns when it is put forth to sanctify, and enable him to perpetuate, his guilt. The fierce outcry which is kept up against them by Irishmen in and out of Parliament, excites our wonder, but it moves not our conviction; a comparsion between England and Ireland fills us with amazement that rnen caii be found to triumph in the hunger and wretchedness of their countrymen; and causes-. us, in spite of every thing that can be said by every Irishman npou earth, to thank Heaven for having blessed England with Poor Laws. As to the London Press, when we see that it is chiefly in the hands of Scotchmen and Irishmen, who declaim agaiust these laws fi- c national prejudice as a matter ofcouise ; and vvli whatever their talents and integrity may be, cannot Rave'any personal knowledge of their real worki we cannot bow. to its omnipotence. Fatal hat been for England in late - years, that the leading part of its press has not been directed by Pnglish- ineu, l The . complaints of those who pay the poor- rates are in themselves no evidence that such rales ought not to be levied. Niue- teuths of what is said against the Poor Laws consist of sheer abuse aud invective; and the remaining one- tenth consists of assumptions and reasonings, which in better times would be thought undeserving of notice. Whetl we thus find nothing to dismay us ou the one hand, we find great encouragement on the other iu the conviction, that if all the payers of poor- rates throughout England were polled on the question, nine- tenths wouldyete . for the continu- ance of 1 he Poor Laws. 1 he desire for ihe abortion of these laws is chi< fly co> i< fined to the theorists and innovators of the House of Commons; it disgraces not the body of the community. The people of England grumble and complain, I ecause it is their nature and privilege to do so whenever they are culled upon for any thing in the shape of taxes aud rates; they wish for the Poor Laws to be rendered as perfect as possible in form and administration but they likewise wish to give their poor food and raiment. The Englishman may be easily misled lie may be, as late times have abundantly proved, converted into a dolt or a madman— he may be taught to rob himself, and strike at his own exist- ence— but never can he be stripped of his benevolence and humanity. To his benevolence and humanity we now address ourselves— we speak not to Scotch- men or hishmen, but to him only— we spe. uk for what is peculiarly English in parentage atul Opera- tion— we speak, that the poorer part of fits country-, men nm> not' bu robbed of their legal rights, may not be divested of their morals and character, may not, in their day of distress and suffering, be de- prived of the means of subsistence— and we shall not speak in vain. In spite of the disgraceful admissions of this minister or that, and of the wild and destructive conduct of the House of Commons, he will hear us. In a country like England, able- bodied lal fturers must often be destitute of employment, even though there be no real redundancy of population. The demand for agricultural, manufacturing, aud other labour, is subject to violent and frequent fluctua- tions. In one year, the farmers or manufacturers will employ much more labour than they will em- ploy in the succeeding one. At one period the labour of the country is generally employed, and immediately afterwards almost half of it is for mouths rendered idie. If we look at the past, we find, that in almost every third . year a vast portion of the labour, which had been employed in the pre- ceding two, could not for a large part of the year find employment; and that in every year, one business or another was compelled to render the chief part of the labour idle tor some months, which it generally needed. Of course the labourers of this country must frequently— iu one business or another they must annually— be for many weeks, aud per- haps for many mouths, deprived, from no fault of their own, of employment; no matter what their wishes and exertions may be, they must be disabled for earning any thing. Do the Abolitionists deny this? They admit it for the past— they dare not venture to controvert the fearful demonstrations which the last three or four years supplied ; but, forsooth, it is never more to occur ! Mr. Slaney gets over it by the astouud- ing assumption, that Free Trade and the new Corn Laws will prevent future fluctuations in the demand for manufactures and the price of corn, and of course in the employment of labour. Out of the House of Commons, this bungling fallacy will, we think, make no impression. • * * As clearly as mathematical demonstration ever proved any thing, it is proved by experience and the nature of thiugs, that the sales of manufactures and the price of coru m'tist continue to fluctuate, as they have hitherto done, and that no legislation can prevent them from so fluctuating. It of necessity is equally clear that the demaud for labour must con- tinue to fluctuate, as it has hitherto done, ar. d that frequently vast numbers of able- bodied labourers must be for a time deprived of employment. Having established this point, we will now ask, are these labourers, when they are thus stripped of employment, to perish from hunger ? No, says the Abolitionist; if they cannot obtain work in one place, they must obtaiu it iu another. Worthy sage, this is little better than nonsense, unless you can prove that it is practicable for them to procure work iu one place, if they cannot in another. If, from ruinous prices of corn, or bad seasons, a. great number of the agricultural labourers are thrown out of employment, to what place are they to travel to regain it ? Finding it in agriculture is out of the question, for ihey are then in excess in every vil lage throughout the country; aud as to their finding it iu manufactures and trade, we may safely pro- nounce it to be equally impossible. * . o # We therefore say again, are these labourers to perish from hunger? They must do this; or they must subsist during the time they are compelled to be idle on some fund they have provided while iu work, or ou charity, or on robbery. As to their perishing from hunger, it has not yet been openly recommended by the most fiinly- heurted Abolitionist'of the tribe; nnd we may therefore put it out of the question. In truth, if the House of Commons, in the plenitude of that wisdom which it basin late years displayed, should vote it to be an admirable means of getting rid of surplus population, and should legislate accordingly, the I a VP* would be inoperative. Never will men die for hunger, so long as bread cau be got by burglary and highway- robbery. The matter, therefore, to be considered iu the first place is— is it practicable for these labourers to provide, while they are iu employment, what will support them wheu they are compelled to be idle? The Abolitionists of course reply in the affirm- ative; but they content themselves with general assertion: they supply none of the description, calculation, deduction, and demonstration, which are essential for preventing changers of law from being a national scourge. Now, putting out of sight a few trades, the vast body of labourers in both town and country are at present receiving wages w hich barely enable them to exist ; they are receiving wages, from which nothing• could be taken* us a provision for the future, which would not be a subtraction from the necessaries of life. There is not the least hope of amendment; but, on the contrary, it is pretty certain that matters will be w orse. The tendency and even arou ed object of the New System of Trade is, to reduce the price of labour to the lowest point; and every thing, in both legislation and circumstance, is operating to sink to this point forever the wages of the bulk of the working classes. To expect taut men, whose earn- ings will scarcely supply their families with bread without the assistance of the parish, should volun- tarily make a provision for the future, is idle ; to compel them to do so, wouid be gross cruelty. Parish relief is generally spoken of as though none received it save men of mature age and having lafge families. 1 he truth is, that at all times, but more especially iu times of manufacturing distress, a large portion of those who obtain it consists of boys, young men just released from apprenticeship, girls, aud single women. These never had opportunity of making any provision for the future. Of course the scheme, for bribing the labouring orders to save from their wages, by granting them parish relief according lo what they might save would, be worthless. In better times such a scheme could not have found it* way into the House of Commons. Our readers know that wages differ in almost every calling: and that in some calling) they are generally good, while in others they are almost always exceedingly low. The operation of nth a scheme would be— it would give relief, uot according to merit, but according to the rate of age*. The comparative few would be entitled to relief, because when in employment they enjoy abundance; but the husbandly labourers, the cot ton weaver*, & c.& c—- the vast body— would have 110 claim, because when in employment they eau only earn bread and water. Theu the lUan mature age would have a right to relief, solely because he had possessed the means of Saving in respect of time and opportunity; but the youth, the journeyman, the girl, and the single woman, would have no right, solely because it had beeu impossi ble for thein to save any thing. Again* prosperity would give the right to the labourer ; while mis. fortune, the kidkuess of himself or any part of his family, or unavoidable losses, would deprive him o it. Never, we trust, will English laws be confa? nin- atcd with the atroci ous ? rinciple on which this scheme is in reality founded ! It is therefore idle to expect that the mass of the working classes can be induced to save, while they ' nave work, what will support them wheu they, cannot procure it. Speaking generally, it is impos- sible for them to do so. IVe are saying nothing against Benefit Societies, or against any thing that ma<< he calcv- hitcd to promote among them habits of frugality and foresight; THESE W E WISH TO RE- COMMEND TO THE UTMOST. What we maintain is, that however beneficially these may operate in respect of individuals, and even classes of labourers, they can have no sensible effect amidst the great body of the working orders. With this body, the saving required by them must be an impossibility. Without parish relief, then, the labourers in question must subsist on charity, or 011 theft. With respect to charity as a source of maintaining them, the Abolitionists are enraptured with it. Before, however, charity be made the basis of legislation, it may be proper to inquire whether it will yield what legislation expects from it. * * * Excepting times of great aud general distress, the destitute labourers would have no other charity to look to but that of individuals. Let auy man separate in any parish the benevolent few who would weekly contribute liberally to the wants of the poor, from the many w ho would rarely contri- bute. auy thing ; let him then calculate how much the poor of that parish will need weekly, and he will llhen discover the folly of placing any reliance on individual charity. But how is the labourer to avail himself of indi vidual charity? Will the charitably- disposed seek his- dwelling intuitively, and administer to his needs without solicitation ' Alas! no. He must beg, or be a stranger to charity. Throwing the workino- • classes upon charity in their hour of distress, must of necessity Convert them into beggars. What would be the fruits? Granting that the labourer himself will become the beggar, it must of course destroy his industry and morals. Regard for his character will vanish as be utters the first supplication; and he will uot return to work, so long as he can gain a subsistence by begging. Then be must necessarily become an habitual fiat. But generally be will throw the, chief burden upon his w ife and children. His chil dren, especially, must be made leading instruments: they must be daily taught, by the example and precepts of their parents, falsehood and deceit ; they must be daily seut abroad, to form the most perni- cious connexions, and contract the most injurious habits. What a labouring population, reared in this manner, would be, we need not describe. It is not necessary to rely wholly upon reasoning for discovering what the abolition of the Poor Laws will produce: the most conclusive proofs are fur- nished by actual experiments in Ireland. How do matters stand in the sister island ? The absence of parish relief does not compel the labourers to find employment in one place, if they cannot find it in another:— No— such relief is refused, and yet an enormous part of the population is generally unem- ployed. How does charity operate? It converts the great body of the working class into beggars; and were it uot for their potatoe ground, it . would not preserve them from perishing from hunger. In what state are wages? They are at the lowest ebb, except in a few trades which can conibiue. What are the fruits of the begging and the penury ? Savage ignorance— contempt of lawT— vice and crime— Insubordination— everything that man, for the sake of himself and his kind, should be a stranger to. What is there iu England to prevent the same causes from producing the same conse- quences? Nothing ; but, on the contrary, these causes would have scope for producing consequeuees still more appalling- in degree. * * The Poor Laws were not enacted upon ab- stract principle, to avert evils which argument and probability declared were approaching. They were, enacted, because what we have described was experienced, to the mighty injury of the commu- nity. As to the alleged improper extension of the operation of these laws, in respect of able- bodied labourers, it was the offspring of necessity. We will now glance at the allegations which are brought against the Poor Laws by the Abolition- ists. It is uot asserted that the poor, when they can- not procure employment, are to be suffered to perish from hunger ; it is admitted, that iu their need they ought to be supported by charity. When this is the case, why not make charity general and methodical ? Why not make it a rule for every member of the community to contribute to the needs of the poor, according to what he possesses ? The Poor Laws stand on this principle, although tlrey do not apply it so far as they ought, and it is an unas- sailable one. Their object is to cause, as far as it is practicable, every member of the community to exercise, in au equal degree, that charity which even the Abolitionists admit ought to be exercised. One of the great arguments of the Abolitionists is, the increase and large amount of the poor- rates. Has, then, population in lat'e years remained sta- tionary? Has there beeu no increase in manufac- tures, trade and agriculture—'- iu the number of those for whom these rates are levied-^- and in the worth of that property on which the rates are paid? If there have be. cn an increase here corresponding with the increase of poor- rates, the argument is of course utterly worthless. That there has be< n a great increase of labouring population, is a truth which adruiis not of coutrotersy; and that a vast quantity of waste land has been made valuable, the worth of the whole laud of the country has beei) raised, the value of land immediately adjoining large places has been greatly increased, and an enormous mass of what is almost wholly additional rateable property, in the shape of houses, shops, & c has been created in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and the large places generally, is another truth equally above question, it is almost matter above demonstration, that in the aggregate and on the average there has not been for many years the smallest proportionate increase of poor rates. We, of course, speak generally. In times of great manufacturing distress, the rateable property in some parts of the manufacturing districts has to pay poor- rates which absorb nearly the whole rent. This only happensoccasionally and iu a few places.; it forms the petty, insignificant exception to ihe general rule. It is, however, trumpeted forth as au unanswerable reason for abolishing the poor- rates throughout the country. The little toe has received some damage, therefore ( he whole body, eyes • eluded, is to be covered with poultices and plas- ers. A remedy is here necessary; but it ought ouJy to be applied where the evil exists, and not where it is never known. Whenever the. rates in these places rise above a certain poundage, the additional sum required should be for the time, coutributed by the Exchequer, and a government agent should be sent to inspect rigidly the distribu- tion of the tnouey. Then, iu some agricultural counties there is con- stantly an excess of labourers. Well, how can the abolition of the Poor Laws be a remedy ? These laws, instead of producing or aggravating the evil, mitigate to a great extent its consequences ; they prevent it from operating as the like evil operates in Ireland. The remedy here is, for the government to remove the surplus population— if it cannot be removed otherwise-— and not to destroy what pre- vents it from becoming' a scourge to the country. A large, permanent excess of population must be a • heavy public burden with the Poor Laws; but, without them, it. must be a fearful public plague. Another of the leading charges against the Poor Laws is, they are a prolific source of demoralization. Where is the evidence by which they substantiate this charge? We ask for something beyond asser- tion— for proofs, or at any rate valid and rational arguments. It is asserted, that these laws produce idleness. Are theu ihe English labourers more idle than the Scotch ones, than the Irish ones— thaw those of foreign countries? The Abolitionists are speechless. I he wretched calumny is refuted by the notorious fact, that the English labourers rank amongst the most industrious ones 011 the face of the earth. Under these laws, when a labourer loses his employment, he receives from his parish what will support him and bis family. Neither himself, nor his wife, nor his children, have to beg; they an © protected from every thing that can injure their morals. In many cases the parish gives him work so long as he is dependent on it. Without these laws, he and his family in such a case- would have to subsist from begging; himself, his wife, and his children, but especially the. latter, would be expos- ed to every thing that could destroy their morals ;, they would have the irresistible incentives of want and hunger to impel them to almost every species of guilt. Yet, forsooth, thePoor Laws are a source of demoralization ! But then it is asserted, that these laws are the parents of early and improvident marriages, and thereby create pauperism and redundant population. It might be reasonably concluded from this, that in Ireland, where there are no Poor Laws, and where it is scarcely possible for a labourer to provide the means of maintaining a family, there cannot be any marriages amidst the body of the working classes. There the. mighty temptation to early marriage cannot be found— there the awful preventive of such marriage continually exercises all its rigours. What is the fact ? Ireland is more distinguished for early and improvident marriages lhan England. A reasonably high standard of living, and proper knowledge, are essential for. preventing the lower orders from marryingimprovidently. Theaboliiion of the Poor Laws, by reducing the standard of living among them to the lowest point, and plung- ing them into savage ignorance, would greatly increase the number of early marriages. It would make such marriages almost a matter of interest, and remove every restraint iu respect of feeling. Now from what does our excess of population arise? It is demonstrable, that, were it not for emigration from Ireland that happy island, which has no Poor Laws to create excess of popu- lation— England would have no excess whatever. Why, then, ore the Poor Laws reviled for producing that which all men living can see they do not pro- duce; and why are they to be destroyed to prevent that which all men living can see their destruction cannot prevent ? If there be 110 redundancy of population, early marriages will add nothing to the poor- rates; for employment and wages nill be iu a State to enable those who marry to maintain them- selves by their labour. If there be such redund- ancy, late marriages will uot keep those who marry from the parish. The remedy for tlie present excess of inhabitants is not to be found in starva- tion and infanticide— it is not to be found in guilty attempts to annul Ihe laws of nature and violate the commands of Heaven— it is not to be found in the tilling of every cottage in the realm with want, and hunger, and barbarism, and crime. Employ yonr idle labourers in rendering your waste lauds fertile — iu practically adding millions of productive acres to the surface of Ihe United Kingdom, and making the most important additions to your trade, reveuue, and power. If you will uot do this, employ them in your Colonies. If in that blind ignorant obsti- nacy which you have hitherto manifested, you refuse to convert them into a source of wealth, at any rate do uot use them as a pretext for plunder- ing your whole labouring population, and convert- ing it into the destroyer of your best interests. The Poor Laws have not produced your excess of population - you see clearly that it has been pro- duced by other causes— and your abolition of them will increase, but not diminish it. * * We are saying not hi-, g uguinst Reforms in the Poor Laws; on the contrary uie wish to recommend them. THE ADMINISTRATION OF THEM IS SCS- CEPTIBLE Of GREAT IMPROVEMENT. * * Will any man say, that the excess of population, particularly that of Ireland, will be removed by natural causes, or that such causes will ever pre- vent it from increasing-; No. All own, that this excess produces the roost calamitous conse- quences in Ii eland, aud inflicts the most baleful evils ou Kngland and Scotland— and that, if no remedy be applied, it will continue to increase; yet not u finger is to be raised to apply a remedy! YVhen we look ot this, we are almost compelled to ask, Why do Ministers and Parliament exist? If any man wish to form a correct opinion of those swaggering, blustering people, who, iu these days, call themselves the only philosophers and states- men, he has only to look at the fact, that amidst the wild, wholesale, multifarious experiments and in- novations of late years, a stupendous national evil like this has never been touched. The Free- Trade measures form another prolific source of pauperism. Not only have they deprived numbers wholly of employment, but they have so far cut down wages iu various callings, that the labourer canuot earn what will support his family. They place before the manufacturer, or producer the alternative of selling his goods at a certain price or losing his nurket j aud, in cousequeuce, he must have labour at Ihe lowest price, or he cannot employ it. It is foolishly argued by some, that if they bring no- considerable quantity of foreign goods into the country, they do no mischief: the truth is, if they occasion no import of foreign goods whatever, they do incalculable evil. To prevent the import, the workmen employed in a whole trade are kept constantly iu peuury. An exquisite speci- men of the wisdom of modern legislation is pre- sented iu the fact, that, at the very moment wheu our legislators have enacted laws, which practically prohibit the labourer from obtaining such wages us are essential for the proper support of bis family, they are protesting, that he. ought to save as much wbeu ibe has employment as will support him when he is destitute of it, aud are endeavouring iuuirectly to compel him to do so by law. If the working classes generally have a suffi- ciency of employment at sufficient wages, there will be nothing to complain of in respect of poor- rates. This is obvious to all men. It must, how- ever, never be forgotten, that the sufficiency must be in wages as well as in employment. Il is clear, tliata sufficiency like this is not to be created by changes iu the Poor Laws. The quantity of em- ployment must be increased, or the population must be reduced ; and commercial laws must alt'ord full scope to Ihe master, for enabling him to give ade- quate wages to his workmen. Let no man hope to get rid of the burden of supporting the poor by the abolition of the Poor Laws. He may, indeed, get rid of poor- rates, and he may be deaf' to every appeal to firs charity— he may uever contribute a tin thing to the poor from legal compulsion, or iu voluntary gift*— aud all he will gain from this will be, the loss of infinitely rao^ e than his poor- rates amount to. The country at large may rest assured, that if it will not support its poor in oue way, it must support them ih another; aud that, if it de- prive Iheui of p-. irish relief, they will deprive it of something far more valuable. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WEDNESDAY. Btt AN DON I). OLD. The plaintiff is a publican, keeping ihe Castle Inn, it 1 Nonfi Crawley, in Buckinghamshire. The de- fendant is 11 very old man, of infirm constitution, who lately had sonic little accession of property. The action WHS brought 10 recover the balance of a public- house score, amounting 10 £ 50, which had been in- curred by the defendant, between the 3il of January anil Ihe 5th of July last; i' 32 had been paid oul of the hill. It appeared, from the evidence of the plaintiff's son, that £ 13 of the bill was for spirltous liq and the defendant frequently got drunk ut his father's house. There were entries'in the plaintiff's bill, charging the defendant wilh 80,90, and sometimes 100 pints of beer in a day. 1 he old man was in the habit, when drunk, ol treating all who came into the public- house, aud used to stop there sometimes six orseveu hours on a Sunday. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in charging ihe Jury, said the action was brought by a publican at Nortli Crawley, near Newlun Paguel, in Buckinghamshire, for the amount 0f a public- house score; and he was thus particular, in the hope tlmt au account of the present action might, in some way, reach the ears of the Magistrates of that district. In making this observa- iou, lie did not wish to he understood as casting any reflections upon publicans generally— on the contrary, he considered them u useful and respectable body of men— aud it was particularly desirable iliat they should he ao, as upon their good conduct, to a yieat extent, depended tlie tranquillity aud morality of the lower, and even uf the middle orders uf society. If they con- ducted themselves ill, they encouraged drunkenness, which he considered llie principal source of misery and crime. When men were excited by liquor, particularly spiritous liquors, they were emboldened to commit 0tillages which they never attempted in their sober hours; and ultliuugli the publican was not responsible it law, tliere was uo doubt but that iu conscience, the blood shed in drunken broils lay at the door of ihe man who administered the improper supply of liquor. The Common Law, which was fuuuded on moralltv and the Christian religion, condemned such practices, and several Statutes, from the time of Charles I. to the present time, enacted penult ies for ihe punishment of such publicans as allowed tippling in their houses, and prevented the recovery of auy sum, over ten shillings, for spirits drank in public- houses. The Jury. would, therefore, have to deduct £ 13 charged for spirits. Il would then be for them to consider whether the £ 32 paid by ihe defendant was not as much as would pay for all he drank, or gave to others, whilst he was in a sober state, from the 3d of January to the 5th of July. He wan,' no doubt, liable for such beer as he had ordered for others, if he were at ihe time in such a state as justified the publican in supplying Ihe drink. It should not be forgotten by the Jury that the defendant was an old man, tottering ou ihe brink of the grave; of a weak state of mind and body, who had lately had the milfoiluue— for such it turned out— to have had a Utile accession of property, upon Ihe security of which, iu all probability, the liquors were supplied. If, on the contrary, they thought the defendant had drank this quantity of liquor, or had ordered it whilst in a fit stale to do so, then they would find for the plaintiff. The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict for the defend.) nt.. The GUIGP JUSTICB— I am glad to see two oentlemen on the Jury who are in the same line of business with the plaintiff, and to hear them, by their verdict, express their disapprobation of his misconduct. iBi£> ccUanfct! 0 SntcUigcncr. We stated in our last Postscript that Mr. Hnskisson had on Monday night entered upon an explanation of his conduct in regard fo the East Retford Question, and his consequent retirement from the Ministry. In our 1st page are copies of the letters which passed between him and the Duke of Wellington on the subject; aud, whatever may be thought of Mr. Huskisson's conduct in the affair, there can' be but one opinion as to that of the Noble Duke. His letters are models of that straightforward, manly, and yet gentlemanly style for which he is distin- guished, SILK TRADE.— The deputations from Macclesfield, Manchester, Congleton, & c. are yet in London on the subject of the silk duties, and although their exertions have been somewhat impeded by the slate - of the Ministry, they have already effected some good; at least, they have been listened to. In despite of returns of raw silk imported, the application of liberal principles to this trade has been a most decided and unequivocal failure— it has terminated in our import- ing, to an enormous extent, the manufactures of other nations, and exporting less than we did before the new lights were bestowed on us— in the sacrifice of profit to the master, aud wages to the workman. We regret to add, that the trade of this town is in a state of depression, considering the time of the year, un- known at any former period; many of the manu- facturers and throwsters have been compelled to reduce their - hours of working one day in the week, and many more will be necessitated to pursue the same course next week.— Macclesfield Courier. Wc dare say we are extremely foolish and very- wrong to persist so obstinately in our opposition to the Free Trade principles, which have beggared our silk- weavers and starved our glovers and shoe- makers, but we must go on believing in practice against theory, and in facts against oratory. There is at this moment in Brighton the agent of a French carpet company, who has brought over a large assortment of French carpeting, which has been admitted at a duty of twenty per cent, at the very period when English carpets are actual!// prohibited in France.

A professor of music, who wanted a good counter fo complete the vocal department of the Church where he presided, asked his hair- dresser if he knew of one. Monsieur Friseur, with that alacrity common to such gentlemen to confer obligations, readily undertook to send one that he knew well adapted for the purpose, and the musician shortly after found his- orchestra encumbered with one of those apparatus on which shopkeepers transact business. A BELLE'S STRATAUEM !— In the present day, when old bachelors have become so serious an evil as to need legislative interference, we think that the following- expedient, adopted by a lady in Connecticut, of rather a desperate age, will affoTd an excellent hint to some of our statesmen towards au effectual remedy. The circumstances are these: — A young- lady became extravagantly fond of a young lawyer in the neighbourhood, who treated her partiality with great, levity. Finding her suit rather hopeless, and being fully determined to enter the state of matrimony at some rate or other, she adopted the following plan: — All at. once she was taken ill, and her malady seemed to threaten death ; at this crisis she sent for the young lawyer to draw her will, and to his aston- ishment she disposed of an enormous estate, iu legacies and endowing public institutions. She shortly after, however, recovered to enjoy her own wealth, and the young lawyer began to feel something like love for her; his addresses became constant, and his attentions marked; in fact, in a short time they were married— but, alas! he had to take the will for the deed!— American Paper. On Monday last, were offered for sale iu Bristol, nearly twenty thousand Rio Grande hides; but, we apprehend, on account of the quantity, the tanners were not disposed to meet the expectations of the importers, consequently the sale was closed. A considerable quantity was afterwards sold by private contract, at lid. per lb. The late Sir Thomas Blacket, of Bretton Hall, Yorkshire, had one cellar which was only opened once a- year, as it contained some particularly choice w ioe which was never brought to table but on the annual celebration of his birth- day, which w as on the 21st of December, or St. Thomas's Day. The butler, wheu taking oul the wine, observed a small toad crawling along the stone floor. He placed the toad under a wine bottle, and thought no more of it until he went into the cellar the following year, vvhen, on removing the bottle, he was much surprised to see the toad immediately leap. This circumstance he mentioned to Sir Thomas, who descended, with his visitors, into th cellar to look at Ihe toad, after which the boltl was replaced, and the poor animal was kept a close prisoner till the succeeding year, when he was agaiu uncovered, aud found alive, as before. The same annual experiment was continued for more than twenty- five years, wheu the wine was ex hausted, the cellar cleared, and the toad, which was still living, was thrown out of doors.— Hull Packet. MINIATURE CANNON.— We have seen a minia- ture cannon, which, as a specimen of neat and iu genious handicraft, is well worth the attention of the public. It is complete in all respects, having a bore aud touch- hole; the gun is made of steel the carriage of gold, and the wheels of silver ; and the whole weight only the twenty- ninth part of a grain! The workmanship is very beautiful, bu cannot be distinguished except through a powerful magnifying glass, the size of this warlike engin being only about that of a coinmou pin's head Plymouth Journal. ENTHUSIASM.— William Vandervclde the old, th famous painter of sea- pieces, w as so fond of his art, that in order justly to observe the movements aud various portions of ships engaging in a sea- fight, that he might design tliein from nature, aud unite truth with grandeur and elegance in his composi- tions, be did not hesitate to attend those engage- ments in a small light vessel, and sail as near to his enemies as his friends, attentive only to bis draw- ing, and without the least apparent anxiety for the danger in which lie was every moment exposed. Of that bold and dauntless disposition he gave two very convincing proofs before his arrival in Eng- land : the oue was in that severe battle between the Duke of York aud Admiral Opdam, in which the Dutch Admiral aud 500 men were blown up; the other was in that memorable engagement, which continued three days, between Admiral Monck and Admiral de Uuyter. During the continuance of these different engagements, Vandervelde plied between the fleets, so as to represent minutely every movement of the ships, and the most material circumstances of the action with incredible exact- ness and truth. HEAT OF THE NIGHT IN LONDON.— The cele- brated meteorologist, Luke Howard, discovered a very singular difference between the temperature of the night in the metropolis and in the country a few miles distant. On an average of ten years, the night temperature of London was found to bo considerably the highest, giving 44 deg. 80 min. while that of the country w as only 41 deg. 10 min. The mean varia- tion of the temperature, from the heat of the day to the cold of the uight, is, in London, 38 deg. 11 min ; in the country, 15 deg. 40 min. the greater mean variation being 4 deg. 4 min. in the country. It renders the preceding facts more striking, that the same does not hold of the temperature by dav, the average difference between the metropolis and the country, when taken by the month, being sometimes below, and at others nearly parallel with that in the country. COLOURED SHADOWS.— When a shadow is pro- j( cted by the light of the sun, and illuminated with the light of a caudle, it assumes a pale yellow colour; but when a ray erf solar light is thrown upon a shadow projected by the light of a candle, it is tinged with a beautiful blue. When shadows are much compounded, the colours are uncommonly various and brilliant Sometimes they exhibit that sweet violet tinge which is diffused over the distant valleys and snowy mountains of the Alps at sunset. The phenomena may be plausibly explained by the principles of ocular spectra. PLANTING POTATOES — Sir John Sinclair recom- mends the American practice of planting potatoes " in holes." These should be made with a spade three feet every way, and six or seven inches deep. The, proper quantity of manure should be spread at the bottom of the hole. If the potatoes are large, one placed in the centre may he sufficient for seed; but in general put in each hole three or four large sets or cuts. The 1 .! i,, 11111 1 „, ii'UK ' I The Park was crowded to an overflow on Sunday. Perhaps there never was a period when London was fuller than it now is; and as the mania for visiting foreign parts has ceased, the splendid state of the west end of the town maybe accounted for.

Among the elegant equl-. pages were those belonging to the Duchesses ot Gloucester, Northumberland, and St. Alban's; the Marchionesses of Londonderry, Lothian, and Salis- bury ; and the Countesses of Poulet and Mansfield. Mr. Francis Moore has again made two lucky pro- phecies— viz. that hostilities would commence between Russia and Turkey about this time, and that a great General ( the Duke of Wellington, of course!) would be promoted I The Coal O. vners on the Wear, an influential |) ody of men, have drawn up a petition to the House of Commons, iu which they protest, iu the strongest manner, agaiust the withdrawal of a circulation which has been found so beneficial to trade during: the last 30 years; and they submit a new fact in favour of the Small Note system :— They say," that during the circulation of small local Bank NoteB, highway robbery has beeu a crime of very rare occurrence in the North of England, in consequence of the difficulty of disposing of such Notes. But your petitioners fear that a return to a metallic currency would hold out such a great temptation, that highway robbery would frequently take place, particularly as it is well known in the neighbour- hood that your petitioners are obliged to send £ 3,000 or £ 4,000 for each pay- day, from their bankers residing at a distance of eight or ten miles,- by a man ou horseback, in their respective collier- ies." We certainly agree with the Wear Coal Owners, that this is nothing less than a very formidable argument iu favour of the existing Smalt Note Currency. A short time since, as Lord Longford was returning from Dublin to his mansion house, at Summerhillj ( county Meath), some ruffian fired a gun or blunder- buss at his Lordship frrJm behind a hedge, within a quarter of" miie of Iris own demesne wall, and on his own estate. His Lordship fortunately escaped un- hurt. LUMINOUS WRITING IN THE DARK.— Fix a small piece of solid phosphorus in a quill, and write with it upctt paper; if the paper be then placed in a dark rocui, the writing will appear beautifully luminous. At Edmonstone colliery, on the 21st Inst, as four of the workers were descending to their work, the chain broke when they were within seven fathoms of the pit bottom, and the unfortunate people were precipitated to the foot of the shaft. The basket in which they were descending struck agaiust another at Ihe pit bottom, which providentially caused them to be thrown under cover, wheu the remaining part of the chain ( weighing from 10 to 12 hundred weight) fell with such force as to griud a basket full of coals to powder, and sink some inches iuto the solid rock. - No time was lost iu relieving the sufferers.

A youti{£ woman, who was dreadfully mangled, walked some yards as if nothing hud beeu wroug, aud survived until the next day. A few minutes before her death, she arose from her bed, went to her brother, and after embracing him, said " 1 must leave you," and she lay dowu anddied. The other two are get- ting better.— Scotsman. Iu the Court of Common Pleas on Saturday, in a case of no interest in itself, Mr. Serjeaut Taddy observed upon the very imperfect state of the law upon the subject of contracts. Upon the Continent, all commercial contracts were obliged to be entered iu a public book, which was opeu to both parties, aud by this means dispute aud misunderstanding were avoided. He thought that if some plan of this kind were adopted iu England, it would go far to prevent the numerous actions for breach of contract which now daily occupy the Courts— The Lord Chief Justice said lie was decidedly of the same opinion. An article dated Nassau, April 1, says,—" The British man of war, Union, Lieutenant Wells, was totally lost about the 21st of March, with seven of her crew, in a north- west gale, seven miles from Nassau. About the same time the British brig, Oceau, from St. Andrew for Havannah, was lost on the coast of Cuba. She had on board 2,450 barrels of flour, all of which she was robbed of by the Spaniards, assisted by her mate, and one of her seamen, who joined them : they also took the cook, a black roan. The captain has arrived at Nassau." A new machine, of some importance to calico- printers, has been invented by a person in Stock- port, after two years of patient and laborious investigation. It is a machine by which the most minute and delicate figure may be etched on a cylinder, superseding the tedious process now in use, and without the slightest possible deviation in the pattern, should there be even tens of thousands of objects to be engraved.— Manchester Gazette. FLASHES OF LIGHT FROM WATER.— Take a small quantity of water in a glass tumbler, and add to it two or three small lumps of phosphuret of lime ; shortly will arise little flashes of light, darting out like petty lightning, and asccnding subsequently in curling clouds. The appearances continue for some time, and constitute a lively illustration of ignis fatuus, or light proceeding out of shallow pools of water. The importation of tea from Canton into New South Wales, within the last two years, has been carried on to such au excess, that this article is at present almost as cheap iu Sydney as sugar. Five hundred chests were offered by auction, a short time ago, and for want of bidders, were bought in at £ 2 per chest.— Australian. The tea- plant has within the last few years been cultivated in Brazil, on a very large scale, and with great success. It was originally brought from China, about the year 1816, by order of King John VI. and during the administration of Count la Barea; when a number of Chinese, accustomed to its cultivation and preparation, were, at the same time, conveyed to Rio de Jr, : ro, for the purpose of naturalizing it. It was first planted at the royal estate of Santa Cruz, formerly belonging to the Jesuits and now converted into a perfect paradise, and eventually it was spread to several of the provinces. In that of St. Paul, where the soil and climate have been found peculiarly congenial, the plantations are on an extensive scale, and the Brazilians are said already to grow sufficient., for their own consumption. Iu five years it is' expected, they will be able to export a considerable quantity, which certainly will he considered a phenomenon. A Brazilian young gentleman, who has for some years been pursuing his literary anil useful researches amongst us, has furnished several, scientific persons in London with samples of Brazilian tea ; and, on infusion, it is found stronger than that of China, usually drank, which may, perhaps, be owing to its being last year's growth, whilst the tea consumed in England is generally three or four years old Should this new article be imported here, it is a query under what denomination it can be placed, unless the Custom- house allows it to rank with " medicinal drugs." The Cheltenham Chronicle says— Many families having been distressed by the tippling of husbands, the Cirencester Court of Requests has very judiciously determined that in all cases for the recovery of public- house debts, they will not allow the publican to reco- ver more than 5s. that being as much as any man should be allowed to score up. It is hoped all other Courts will adopt this rule." cuts. The seed should be covered with the soil which has been previously taken out of the hole, and, as the plant grows, any fresh earth that can be procured should be spread on the surface. This mode is peculiarly calculated for small farmers and cottagers, who diminish the produce of their potatoes considerably by planting them too thick. FELLING OAKS— A new way of managing timber designed to he cut, is now taking place in some parts of Berkshire. A party of men, reported to come from some part of Yorkshire, strip the bark from the body and limbs of the oaks, as they are standing in the wood, and which trees are not intended to be cut until next winter; and it is reported that such timber will be better, and last much longer, than when cut immediately; and that the sap of it will be nearly as good as the heiiri.
