Lichfield, September 20, 1827. fM PEL LED by a Sense of Gratitude for the remarkable Cure I have received by the Use of your invaluable Antiscorbutic Drops, I forward you the Particulars of my Case, that others who may be similarly afflicted may know where to apply for Relief, For Twenty Years I had a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon niv Arms, Legs, and Bark of my Neck, attended with the most intolerable itching and smart- ing.— I tried various Remedies, and had the Advice of Medical Men in this City, but all to no Purpose; the Disease increased to such a Degree as to destroy my Rest at Night, my Appetite and general Health failed, and I despaired of Recovery. Being recommended to give your Antiscorbutic Drops a Trial, I purchased a small Boltle from Mr. Edwards, Druggist, of this City, and, after taking five small Bottles, to my great As- tonishment, as well as that of my Family, the Com- plaint was entirely eradicated ; and I am now able t follow my Business, which before I was incapable of attending to.

General GASCOYNK, in A spe. eeh of great length, introduced a motion, 44 That this House will, early in. the next Session of Parliament, proceed to inquire intq the causes of the apparent diminution that had taken! place in ihe ships, louflnge,, and inert employed, in the commercial n. nvy of this country, in the years 1826 aud 1827, as sliewn by ihe Finance Accounts now before the House."— Mr. CouRTENAY said, as there was no immediate necessity for enquiry urged, he would oppose the discussion of the subject at the present- p> riod of the Session, and should move the. previous question.— Mr. ROBINSON and Mr.- PJ I. IDDBLL urged that th£ course of policy pursued of late years had been most j injurious to the interests of British ship- owners, whose property had become deteriorated in a fearful degree^ Mr C. GRANT and Mr. HUSKISSON ably defended the policy pursued by the Administrations of which they had been Members, as regarded the shipping interest*^ and insisted that the system . adopted by them was not only best calculated fo secure the future interests of British commerce and British shipping, but was now operating in the most beneficial manner that the stale of commerce throughout ihe world would admit. They insisteijl that opr ship- owners now enjoyed the greatest portion of the carrying trade wherever competition took place, and that the British shipping interest had nothing to apprehend from a competition with foreigners. The apparent diminution nf shipping, & c4 alluded to in the motion of the gallant General wa « occasioned by the hew Act for Ihe registration of vessels, by which a more correct though apparently less number had been obtained than formerly. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,. it was the anxious wish of his Majesty's Government to have ( t understood, that no change in the general measures of commercial policy which had b* » en pursued during the last few years was in their contemplation, however mucli disposed thejr may fie to pay attention to the claims or sufferings of any individual interests.— The motion of General Gascoyiie was then negatived with- out a division; Contents.

GUI. LY T). THE. BISUOP OF EXETER. This action ( of quare imptdil) has been so of{ efi before the Court in different shapes that the circum- stances oiit of which it has arisen must be familiar tit the public. The pleadings, which had been originally of infinite length ( the declaration consisting of no les& than eight. and- forty Counts) have been reduced within some reasonable compass by successive operations of the Court. Upon a forifter day Mr. Serg » - ant Edward I Lawes hud obtained a conditional rule calling upon the plaintiff to shew caUse why the defendant should not be at liberty; with leave Of the Court, to plead several matters under tfie statute . of Anne. Cause was this morning shewn by Mr.- Served uf Wir. DB against the rule, and the Coort « « ve judgment np » n xhe question^ after having heard at great length the Counsel ott both sides. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, whose nddress was diiu tinguished for its elegance, perspicuity, and force, began by expressing the great pleasure which it had afforded him that the case had been so r » - ry fully and ably argtied on both sides before the Court, as th « question, though one of mere practice, was of the last importance to the public. Upon the decision of the Court opon this point would depend whether suitors for justice should continue to be liable to the ruitiofiii expenditure of money and tune which they suffered in consequence of the enormous abuses which had been^ wilhiii Ihe last 50 years, introduced info the practice of special pleading; or whether the Judges would eiu deavonr to oblige litigating prirties to attain, by the shot test and simplest means, that which had been the original nnd legitimate object of all special pleading^ namely, the evolution <> f one or two short, plain, essential questions, on the decision of which the fate of th6 ease was to depend, and which were of themselve* abundantly sufficient to enable the Court to do complete justice in the case. At the common law, before ihe statute of Anne, tfie declaration consisted of but oue count, the count and declaration being syiinnjmnus terms; and whatever number of defences a defendant may have been able to produce, he was obliged to make an election of one amongst thein all, aud to rely upon that for the purpose of repelling the action. It was however the custom of modern times to slate the facts of Ihe case in the greatest possible variety of ways, Which not only quintupled Ihe expense of the paper pleadings, btit more than quintupled the expense of witnesses, who were carried to the assizes in large numbers, and at an enormous expense, for the purpose of proving matters wholly immaterial to the merits and justice of the case. It had been at the Common Law a rule 44 that all pleadings should be true ;" hut, ac- cording to the present practice, almost all pleadings were of necessity false; because, of eight- and- forty different ways of stating the same fact, oue only could be triie. He, the Chief Justice, was afraid thai il was now impossible to return to the simplicity of the system of pleading as it existed at the Common Law. But he believed it to be the duty of Judges to make towards it the closest approximation which wa* possible iu the existing circumstances of society. This it was their duty to effect for the purpose of enabling the public to obtain a cheap, speedy, aud simple administration of justice, and of removing the grounds of that reproach which had in latter times, and with much reason, fallen upon the manner and circumstances iu which justice was distributed between the people of this country. His Lordship, iu conclusion,- repealed again the pleasure which he felt in checking the abuses of special pleading, by discharging the present rule, and confining ihe defendnut to one issue alone. Mr. Justice PARK said, that as he should very soon have the misfortune of hearing the whole case over again ( on Circuit), he was less anxious to give bis own opinion ii^ on the question than to bear the judgment of his [. earned Brothers upon the subject. His Lordship expressed his entire concurrence in what had fallen from the Chief Justice. Mr. Justice BURROCGH said that he was delighted that the day had at last arrived in which he could give a death- blow lo those enormous abuses which hud been of late years introduced into the practice of special pleading. He believed that in striking at the root of this monstrous evil, with which special pleading was now encumbered and disgraced, the Court was render- ing- to the public one of ihe most important services which it was possible for the public to receive. The Court were about to take a step which would reduce the price of jusiice from the fearful aud extravagant height to which it had been raised, and which rendered i it, iu many cases, destructive, and in many cases alto- ! gether unattainable. His Lordship again repeated the joy which h* 1 felt iu uniting in the opinion of his Learned Brethren, that the present rule ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice GASELBE agreed with the other Judges, and spoke to the same effect. His Lordship observed, that if the persons who had framed the Statute of Anue ( giving liberty to litigants to plead several matters) could have imagined that the Statute wuuld have led to such enormous abuses as had resulted from it in so short a period, there was no doubt hut the framers of the Statute. would have allowed the practice of pleading to stand upon the ground on which it had rested at Common Law. During the progress of the work at the now church, Southampton, which is now nearly com- pleted, one of the workmen observed that a robin had built its nest in the wall, aud was at the time sitting ou the eggs. As it was necessary to remove the nest, in order to complete that part of the wall, he placed his hand over, took it out, with the bird still sitting, and put it in another part of the build- ing less liable to disturbance: the bird left the nest as soon as she found herself at liberty, but shortly returned, and resuming her new situation, continued till she had hatched her young, and brought them up. They are now daily seen flying about among the workmen, iti the apparent consciousness of safety.— Hampshire Chroniclc. ^ ALOTIAM JOLT] RMA] La AWE) COIMIHR OF WALK LON DON— SAI L!

A numerous meeting of nobiiily and gentry was held at the Frei unison's Tavern ( ins day, when it was determined to form an institution to be called the wKi g's College, London." The Duke of Wellington presided, supported by the- Archbishops of Canterbury anil York, the Bishops of Loudon, St. David's, Dur- ham, St. Asaph, Chester, . Gloucester, and Ossory, the Marquis Camden, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Bexley, the Primate of Ireland, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Right Hon. Robert Peel, the Lord Mayor and SV ritls, and a number of distinguished clergy and laity. A committee was formed, and II. Coleridge, Esq. Barrister at Law, was appointed Secretary. After the Noble Duke quitted the chair, it was taken by the Bishop of Chester, who entered into some explanation as to the principles and intended management of the institution. His Lord- ship distinctly stated, that to become students it was hot necessary that persons should be members of the Established Church; all that would be required of them was, that they should conform to the rules of discipline laid down in the general conduct of their studies. Before the meeting broke up, the sum of £ 20,000 was announced as raised in subscriptions and donations. Among the largest, contributors were, the Archbishop of Canterbury, £ 1000; the Arch- bishop of York, the Duke of Rutland, the Bishop of Durham, and a Lady unknown, ±' 500 each; the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Secretary Peel, and a Gentleman from Bristol sBSOO each ; and tiie Rector Of St. Martin iu the Fields, £ 200. Various donations of £ 100 each were also announced. It was likewise whisperl'd in the course of the proceedings that his Majesty intended contributing £ 5000 in testimony of his approbation of the institution. In the House of Commons, on Thursday niglit, the principal subjects on order were postponed in conse- quence of the temporary absence of Mr. Secretary Peel, owing to the death of his sister, the Lady of the Dean of York.— The Ale- house Licensing Bill went through a committee; and the clause for giving equal jurisdiction to the County Magistrates with those of cities and towns in granting Licences, was on a divi- sion lost by a majority of 53 to 46.— The bill for repealing the Usury Laws was, after some debate, read a second time ; hut with an express understand- ing that no further progress in the measure should for the present he attempted.— Lord Nugcnt's Voters' Registration Bill, on the question of its second read- ing, was lost without a division. In the House of Commons, last night, the consider- ation of the Estimates was concluded. The house divided on two of the items; the whole, however, were ultimately carried as proposed by Ministers.— Colonel Sibthorpe gave notice of a motion next session, for the repeal of the One- Pound Note Sup- pression Act; and of another to regulate Posting. The bill to disfranchise the borough of Penryn was last night withdrawn from the House of Lords, the l. nril Chancellor and the Earl of Elddn having stated their opinion that no saUicieut ease had been made out to justify so severe a measure. DRATH of LORD MOUNT- SANDFORD. — The Coroner's inqiiest concluded yesterday, at half past twelve, tin.. Jury deliverer! the following verdict unanimously : Wilful Murder against Samuel Brinklettas principal, and George and Thomas Hunt, as aiders and abettors therein. And the Jury are unanimously of opinion that the treatment received by the deceased, and which caused his death, was entirely unprovoked on his part. The Jury cannot close their duties without animadverting, in the strongest manner, upon the disgraceful conduct exhibited by the Nightly Watch on this occasion." Yesterday morning, a few minutes before two o'clock, a ( ire Innke out at the house of Mr. Spurett, gingerbread baker, Hattersea, which burnt with incre- dible fury for nearly two hours. The al'irm was first given by the barking of a dog, and almost instanta- neously the Hamcs burst out at. the shop windows. The neighbourhood soon became a scene of confusion, and the greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the inhabitants. The engines arrived in about half an hour, but the only supply of water that could he got was from a pump in the middle of the square, which was soon exhausted ; nothing could arrest the progress of the ( lames. By the great exertions of the iiremen, several of ( he inmates w ere rescued from the iiatiles; some escaped by the windows, while others rushed through ( hi? flames. It. was soon ascertained that Mr. Spurett, who was upwards of 88 years of age, and had been for some time bed- ridden, was missing, anil also his daughter, a young woman 28 years of age. About four o'clock the house was completely burnt down, and the tire had communi- cated to each of ( be adjoining houses, both of which were considerably damaged; fortunately a fresh supply of water was procured, and the progress of the flames was arrested from doing further injury. About half past five o'clock, workmen commenced to search the ruins for the unfortunate sufferers, and ( he first they found was a dbg ( Ihe faithful announcer of the danger); and in a few minutes afterwards ( he bodies of Mr. Spurett and his daughter were found under the ruius in the passage, in a most dreadfully mutilated state, the arms, legs, and heads,, of botli, being completely burnt oil', and were carried to the workhouse piece- meal in baskets. It was rumoured that there were more inmates in the house than at first, supposed, and that others were missing. The workmen still continue their labours with unremitting exertion. L'p to twelve o'clock yesterday, no more bodies had been found. The premises were not ino ired ; and the fire is supposed to have broken out in the shop, but by what means is a mystery. A recent journal of lMctz, contains the following curious paragraph :—'" Much contraband traflie, carried on by means of dogs brought up for the purpose, has of late months taken place in our department. An official statement, published hv the Prefect of Moselle, makes it appear, that, in the district of Sarrcgnemines alone, from 1st March, 1827, to the first of the same month in the current year, no less than 58,277 dogs have lieeri sent over the Rhine to he loaded with prohibited articles. Of these, 2417 were killed on their way hack, and were found to be biar. rs of 6056 kilogrammes of contraband goods of vitrious kinds: so that the 65,800 dogs who escaped the vigilance of the custom- house officers, must, at that rate, have introduced 140,000 kilo, gramm s of contraband goods.

It will, indeed, be a death- blow to them, by depriving them of the carrying Irale between Europe and the United States, of' which they have so long enjoyed a monopoly. When it was known that the bill had received the signature of the President, all the shipping; in New York and the other ports displayed their colours at hall- mast, as a mark of regret for . the injuries which the measure would inflict . on commerce ; and a placard was aiftxed on the door of the custom- house, at New Y# rk, containing this emphatic sentence,— " Tuis house to Lt:, enquire at Washington.'' It appears that there was some, mistake in the previous accounts relative to the time at which this obnoxious measure was to take effect. Tt was understood, that, by an amendment made by the senate, none of the additional duties enacted in it would comC into operation before the 2d of September. It now appears, however, that that amendment applied only to the first section of the bill, which relates entirely to iron and hardware. The other sections, by which the duties on cottons, woollens, linens, silks, & c. are regulated, take effect on the 1st July, as originally proposed. This, we apprehend, will he very unwelcome news for many individuals who have shipped goods, in expectation that they Would be in time if they arrived before the 1st. of September. Some of the duties imposed by the American Tariff bill, and especially those on flannels and baizes, ( of which the export to America is very great)) are ab- solutely prohibitory, and will put ah immediate stop to the trade in those articles, except by means of smuggling. Smuggling cannot, it is evident, be car- ried on in the American ports, without the connivance of the authorities a connivance which it would be folly to expect. It is probable, therefore, that smug- gling will, if it be carried on at all, be carried on through Canada, which will, in that event, become the grand depot for British manufactures, whence they will be conveyed across the frontier by the American smugglers, who will find their account in the illegal traffic which the prohibitory laws will create. This indirect trade will benefit the British shipowner, though we have strong doubts whether his gain will compensate for the manufacturer's loss from being deprived, for a fime, of an open market for his goods. The accounts from Oporto, which come down to the 17th, are most satisfactory — and we may encou- rage the hope of soon hearing that the Constitutional Government is restored iu Portugal. COLONIAL SLAV!-, RY.-.- ln the House of Lords, this even- ing, Earl GROSVF. MOR, iu presenting a petition from Chester against Slavery, - aske< W- first, what were'the intentions of His Majesty's Government respecting the manumission of slaves; secondly, what was the issue of trie commission for abolishing- the slaw trade—- be never expected to see an end to the slave trade until slavery was abolished ; and, thirdly, what steps had been taken in the Colonies to better the condition of the slaves. Tlie D; ike of WPXLTN'nTOX said he should confine himself as closely as lie could to the questions put by the Noble Earl, lie could assure their Lordships that it was the anxious deter- mination of the Government to act upon the Resolutions of iy- 27; but it Was their intention to proceed* slowly and secure- lv, and with a pure regard to th: interests of the Colonial Proprietors. 11 was true, a good deal of irritation prevailed in the West Indies respecting this subject, and he thought it by no means surprising that persons whose properties were at stake, should express thems. ilyes With, warmth | but it should be recollected, that iu almost all the Colonies the principles of the Resolutions were adopted ; and it was the duty, as well as the determination, of his Majesty's Ministers to see those' prin- ciples carried into execution. With respect to the question of manumission, he must ackn « >,\ v'lr- dge, that owing to the rinuly chimgoa which had taken place in the Colonial Ofti'ee, the Government had not as yet made up their minds as to the particular mode by which it was to he executed-- as to the Slave Tiacle, he regretted thai it war at. present nearly as extensive as ever; and the Noble Earl would see the difficulties with which the British Government had to contend in negotiating with so many Powers interested in the continuance of fh£ trade. As to the third question, respecting the condition of the slave, he was happy to be able lo inform their Lordships, that in Jamaica, and s » onie other Colonics, considerable improvement had taken place in the condition . of slaves, and lie hoped to see the example followed by the other Colonies. In the Ho ( Mi of COMMONS, various Miscellaneous Esti- males having been voted, Mr. M A.

DARING BURGLARIES.— In the night of Monday last, the warehouse of Messrs. Barnett and Co. drapers, St. John's Row, in this town, w as forcibly en- tered through one of the windows at the back thereof, and the thieves having forced the locks and bolts of three inner doors in the warehouse, also forced opeu the door of the counting house, broke open the desks, opened the drawers, and stole several small sums of money, with which they retreated undetected. A man was, about one o'clock, taken near the premises' under suspicious circumstances, by one of the watch- men, but at that time the robbery was iTot known : this individual however, was committed to the cell in the watch- room, and, in consequence of some strong1 circumstances of. suspicion, he was yesterday com- mitted to gaol to await a further examination.—- A reward of £ 50 is offered on conviction of the thieves. See A dra t. In the same night the counting house of Mr. Hazledine, at the bottom of Wyle'- Cop, in this town, was burglariously entered ; the thief having broken open a window at the back thereof, and entered the office, proceeded to break open a desk, and several drawers, from which he took cash to the amount of a few pounds, and some papers which would not be available ; and with these he escaped unperceived. On Saturday morning, the 14th inst. a deputation of Maltsters had a conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Downing- street, when he consented to withhold for this session the new Malt. Bill he had ordered to be prepared, embodying only the Treasury Regulations, and promised the Agricultural Members and the trade an opportunity of " trying their strength" with him in a Committee of the House next year ; this proceeding will leave maltsters liable as before to pay extra duty on all malt above the officers' couch charge, but as they are strongly supported by the agricultural interest, it is verv probable that the result of a committee will be favourable to their wishes. After the conference, Mr. Herapath urged the claims of the Licensed Victuallers and the employers of workmen, for protection agaiust the indiscriminate retail of Cyder ; when the Right Hon.

MONMOUTH WOOL FAIR.— This distinguished mart, which has held its rank many years in the commercial world, took place on Wednesday. The prices at Chepstow on Saturday, ( from 8s. to 10s. per stone) gave little hopes of remuneration to the growers in this district; but what most deserves our notice is, ^ Iiat few if any packs of the fine sort were sold, a most decided preference being given to the long combing wool, which, at the titmost, fetched 10s. Gd. per stone. There was not much brought to market, compared with former sales ; and We never witnessed so little business don£ as on that d^ y.— Gloucester Journah In the House of CornmohS, On Thursday, Mr. Corbett presented a petition from Shrewsbury, praying for the abolition of slavery.

THE NEW MALT ACT.— We have, in another place, inserted a paragra ph from the Bristol Journal on this subject.: and we regret that tiie exertions of the trade, aided as they were by Sir Rowland Hill, Lord Clive, and most of tbR Shropsliirev liepFOseuta- tives, together v.- ith those of StaH'oi- dshire, & c. have been attended w ith so little success. The Certificate system, under . which the most honourable. and in- dustrious tradesman may by inadvertency be brought to ruin,— as also the penalties for watering under 12 days,— still remain without mitigation. To those who are acquainted with the circumstance, it will he unnecessary for us to shew how much the Barley of Shropshire and the adjoiniug districts is injured in ihe course of operation, fur want of earlier sprinkling than the present law allows; the consequence now is, that under the present Act., the Shropshire Malt Is not only deteriorated iu value by the process, but the inferior article thus produced is taxed at the same rate with the Hertfordshire and other malt on which no swell or increase takes place, and which, from its more tender quality can be malted without sprinkling. A per centage for the swell or increase by fire is allowed on Porter Malt iu the New Act; and yet, although the Shropshire and other Malt is deteriorated perhaps 12 to 16 per cent, by the delay and injury to which it is subjected by t'ue malt regulations, no allowance is to be made; but the duty in future will be collected, not as formerly on the amount of Barley steeped, but on the quantity pf . dry Mali, produced : and thus, in fact, an extra, duty of perhaps 5( 1. or Od. per bushel will fall ttpou the/ Malt of . this and the adjacent districts : inasmuch as the article manufactured in these districts is estei- r. ied to be proportionately inferior to the Hertfordshire matt, although the latter pays but the same duty, while the Shropshire maltster is compelled by the state of the law, not only to diminish the value of his malt, but after he has done so, he is further obliged to pay the same duty as the manufacturer whose grain can be perfected in the process without either injury or increase.— As tiie tax thus imposed will ultimately fall on the consumer, it behoves every class, and the agriculturist especially, to exert their efforts to prevent the continuance of an impost so impolitic in principle, and so unjust in operation.

SMALL NOTES.— On Monday, th£ 16th instant, a public meeting, convened by the High Sheriff of Denbighshire, took place at Ruthin, when petitions to both Houses of Parliament, against the Bill for sup- pressing the circulation of small notes after the month of April next, was unanimously agreed to. A similar meeting of the county of Flint took place at Mold on the same day, and petitions to the same purport were unanimously adopted.— Mr. Lee, of Redbrook, on this occasion, said, His Majesty's Minis- ters were not aware of their ( the petitioners') local situation. He was decidedly of opinion that the cur- tailing of the currency Would materially injure the landed interests of the country. tn corroboration of this, he would just state, that in a late conversation with" Lord Clive, his Lordship expressed an opinion that the extinction of the small notes would have the effect of reducing the income ot the landowner 25 per cent.— Mr. . fones, of Pwll- Melyn, was strongly impressed with a conviction that the proposed limita- tion of the currency would be highly injurious to North Wales. He was fully persuaded, that Mr. Peel had adopted false data in estimating the amount of the small note circulation at £ 2,500,000. Mr. Peel's calculation was founded upon the number of stamps issued within the last four years, whereas the fact was, that a greater number of one- pound notes of au antecedent date were in circulation than those issued within that period. When he ( Mr. Jones) first observed that statement in the newspapers, he deter- mined upon examining the dates of those notes he had by him, and the result of his investigation was, that, out of two hundred £ 1 notes, one hundred and fifty were of a date prior to that at which Mr. Peel had taken his estimate ; a considerable number bore the date of 1815, and not a few that of 1813. As this was a promiscuous groupe of notes, he thought it a fair criterion by which to judge of the amount, of the local currency, and if it were adopted, he should be inclined to think that, instead of £ 2,500,000, it would be not less than £ 6,000,000. In the district with which he was immediately connected, not less than £ 10,000 was required for weekly wages j and if the local banks were precluded from issuing their small notes, he was convinced the neighbourhood would experience the most distressing calamity. 2 1 1 1 2 2 3 br. d. 4 dr ' g!

The chairman rose to propose the health of their noble and distinguished guest, the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Controul. He then pro ceeded to point out the fitness of His Majesty's selection in the appointment of the Noble I. ord,— one who had for so long a period presided over one of the most important branches of the state,— he meant the administration of the naval affairs of this great country,— than which department the Noble Lord could scarcely have been exercised in a school better adapted to prepare him for the arduous duties of that office which he at present held in connexion with the East India Company. His lordship had been so long kuown in his public capacity and for his public talents, that to eulogise hiin before the present com- pany would be a useless aud superfluous compliment, as 110 iloubt it must, ill some degree, offend the deli- cate feelings of the noble individual himself, The bun. chairman concluded by proposing " The health of the President of the Board of Contioul," which vt as drank with enthusiasm- Lord Melville returned thanks in a brief and ener- getic speech. No one could, lie declared, feel more sensibly than he did the honour which they had bestowed upon him , and no one, he would assure them, could more highly appreciate that compliment, coming, as it did, from one of tlic most influential bodies iu the king'tfom. His lordship declared the pride which his being selected to till the head of the department over which he had now the honour to preside made him feel; and his highest gratification while in that situation would be, to co- operate with the Directors of the Hon. the East India Compauy, in giving effect to ihe result of their deliberations for advancing and promoting the interest of the numerous millions over whom their controul, concurrently with that of the Crown, extended. The noble lord con- cluded by again thanking the company for the honour tiiey had done him, and drank all their healths; after which he sat down ainul loud applause. The chairman again rose. He felt the utmost con- fidence that tlie toast he was then about to propose was one which, to the present meeting, required no eukigium from him tu induce the assembly to drink it with a bumper, it was the health'of a distinguished individual, whu, at almost the earliest period of his life, had, under the auspices of his noble and distin- guished brother, exalted, iu the annals of East Indian warfare, a name which had since been more illustri- ously dedicated to fame in the annals of Europe. ( Chars.) Need he say that he alluded to their illustrious guest the Duke of Wellington ? ( Loud applause for some time.) One who hail, throughout the eventful period which had elapsed since his career in India, ever preserved his attachment to the best interests of India, and whom his Majesty had so properly selected to lill the highest station in the empire— a station, too, which the illustrious Duke w*, is so well qualified to adorn. ( Hear, hear.) After some farther observations, the chairman concluded by proposing the health of His Grace the Duke of Wellington and His Majesty's Ministers. The toast was received with much cheering by the company upstanding. The Duke of Wellington rose amiil the cheers, which were repeated for some time, and in a short aud handsome manner returned his most cordial ami sinccre thanks for the honour which had been con ferred upon his colleagues and himself, in the manner their healths had been proposed by the chairman, and received by the company. There was no body of persons within the country from whom a compli- ment such as this could be paid them, to which they attached more importance, ( hear, hear,) and be hoped they should by their acts, to which alone tliey wished to refer as the criterion of their conduct, con- tinue to deserve the meed of their approbation. ( Cheers J The interests of India were of tuu para- mount a nature not to require at their hands the utmost consideration, and he hoped whenever they next met, that approbation would be extended to their proceedings and conduct. ( Applause. J The chairman subsequently proposed the healths of Sir . George Murray, His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonics, the Marquis Graham, and the healths of the other individuals present, » lio respect- ively returned thanks. Between ten and eleven o'clock the chairman and distinguished guests departed. fWisccUancoufi Intelligence. CATHOLIC PETITIONS.— We arc authorised to state that, tbe Petition in favour of the Catholic Claims, presented to- both Houses of Parliament last week, purporting to be from Members of the Congre- gation of ihe IVeUk Culrvnistic Methodists, Jewin Crescent, London, wasestirely without the knowledge or sanction of the Church and Congregation in that place ; and that they were utterly ignorant of its existence, until they read in the public papers of suck a petition having been presented.— Courier. We learn from an authority which has rarely deceived us, that tbe small Notes at present, in circu- lation iu England exceed five millions. From the same authority we are informed that the Bank uf England liad in its coffers three weeks ago at least thirteen millions of capital, about two- thirds of which was in specie, for which no profitable employment could lie found, and with which it was calculated that the Bank could readily replace all the small Notes that remain tu be withdrawn.— Bristol Journal. The importation of horses from France into this country is considerably on the increase. Fine horses which cost from £ 12 to £ 15 in France, are sold here for from £ 20 to £ 25, and even £ 30. The duty on each horse, we understand, is 15s. Tile Wnteiloo- l'ridge tolls for the half year ending the 5th of February, were £ 6,447. 3s. 4d.; this was £ 25 more than the corresponding period lust year, the disbursements approaching nearly to the receipts, no dividend was declared. FALL or LEAVES FKOM THE CLOUDS. In Virginia, Mr. Clayton stales there are frequent whirlwinds of little force and small dimensions— usually two oi three yards in diameter, which skim along Ihe ground in a w hisking course, according to the motion of the cloud whence they proceed As they move along, they whirl aloft the dry leaves which they meet with into the air, and these frequently fall again iu places far remote. Mr. Clayton has seen them in a calm sunny day, descending as if they had come from Ihe clouds, iu showers so copious as to darken the air, and from a height as great as lie could distinguish a leaf. Throughout the whole continent of America, , Spain does not retain one single inch of ground ; her Iroops, after a gallant resistance, have been driven from their last strong holds, both on the eastern and western coasts ( St. Juan d'UHoa and Callao), and her flag is prosci'ihed on those shores, where for three hundred years, it waved without a rival. This mighty change has been slowly, but progressively accomplished. It is not the work of intrigue or faction, l. ut the natural effect of a change, as mighty, iu tbe minds of men. To recede is now impossible; not because the republics of the New World have discovered that standard for regulating political opinions which has been sought in vain in the Old ; but because, whatever differences may prevail as to form, tbe consciousness of a political existence, and a sense of the advantages of an unrestrained intercourse with foreign nations, when once ac- quired, can never again be lost. It might rather, indeed, be a matter of surprise, that with such inducements before them, aud so great a superiority of numerical strength, the colonies should not have brought the contest to an earlier termination, did not their position with regard to the mother country, and to each other, sufficiently explain the causes of the delay. Scattered over a vast continent, separated by impenetrable wildernesses, or by i chains of mountains stilt more impassable, and kept purposely under the old system, in a slate of ignorance with respect lo each other, the new States commenced their contest for freedom without the advantage of any previous combination or eoucevt. Even at the present day the natives of Mexico and Chili— of Buenos Ayree aud Bogota— know as little of each other as the Neapolitan peasant and the Lapland boor; and in most cases England would present the only medium of com- munication between them. At the commencement of the Revolution, their estrangement was still greater, and it may be questioned whether tbe fuel of the existence of some of the New Slates was at all generally kuowu to the rest, With each ol Iter's resources and means of defence they certainly had no acquaintance. Each, therefore, individually pursued its object unconnected with the rest, and each was obliged to cope singly with whatever force Spain could bring to bear against it.— Ward's Mexico. We have seen a letter from Amsterdam, which states that the daughter of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands is about to be married to the eldest sou of Gustuvus Adolphus, the ex- Kiug of Sweden. This event was the subjeet of much speculation, and it w as generally taken for certain, that this young prince is to succeed to the throne of Sweden, after the death of the present sovereign, as no one could imagine that the King of the Nether- lands would bestow his daughter on a mere adveu- turer, as the young prince may be said to be al present, unless he conceived that all obstacles in the way of his succession to the throne were sure to be removed. This marriage is considered as the work of the Russian cabinet. The young prince is said to possess great merit, and to be every way worthy of the destiny to which fortune is likely to call him.— Morning Paper. SAVINGS BANKS— Mr. Palhner, the Member for Surrey, has obtained leave to bring in a bill to con- solidate akd amend the Laws relating to Savings Banks. The amount of capital belonging to the various Savings Banks in the hands of the Commis- sioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, the Hon. Member stated to be sixteen millions, and for which the government was giving £ 4. lis. 3d. per cent. It was for the consideration of the House to determine whether it would be advisealile to continue this rate of interest; it was also requisite tu deter- mine how the surplus interest of the different Savings Banks should in future be disposed of, and what class of contributors should be admitted. On the evening of Thursday, Ihe 5th inst. a society of young gentlemen front Gainsborough and the neighbourhood, met at their cricket- ground, oppo- site the town aud across the river Trent, for the purpose of play. They spent the evening very pleasantly, aud were crossing the water again about nine o'clock in a small boat, and had reached a Trent bulge laying towards the Gainsborough side in safety, when a fierce dog sprung from the barge upon the gunuel of the boat with such fury that tbe passengers ( who were all standing) rushed to the opposite side, anil the boat upset. By this accident eleven persons were plunged into the mid- stream of the river; and, unfortuuately, immediate assistance from the shore was prevented by a dense tier of shipping which intervened, lu this awful state each of the young men had to rely chiefly upoti his own efforts for safely, while very few could swim; yet strauge to say, ten out of the eleven, by the exertion of Mr. Arnold, jun. aud others, were saved ; the other, a young gentleman named Fre- derick A. Duckle, sunk to rise no more.— Lincoln Mercury. On Saturday last, a fire destroyed the premises of a Mr. Harrison, iu Red Lion Street, Holborn, London; and it is distressing to add, that a whole family, lodging iu the hpuse, uf the name of Tingle, consisting of a father, mother, aud five children, perished iu tl> e flames!— The father ( Mr. Tingle) was foreman to Mr. Cubitt, builder, Gray's- iun- laue- road, aud his wife was a milliner. Theatrical speculation is not lucrative iu Paris. The annual loss to the French Government in keeping up the French Opera, is more than £ 39,000; and a very large sum has been lust in the Opera Cumique, which was fur some time supported by the govern- ment.— Until Laurent had the Italian Theatre, the French Miuistiy paid £ 12,000 per annum towards its support— we believe that they do not now pay above half that amount. Altogether the sums paid by the Government towards the Theatres in Paris, which are considered national, exceed £ 00,000 per annum. No BAD BARGAIN.— An individual in Dorsetshire lately purchased a feather bed at an auction, which, on examiuation, was found to contain a parcel of Bank of England notes, amouutiug to £ 700. Lord Cochrane, a few days back, having occasion to visit a cast- iron foundry, at the east- end of the metropolis, w as much amused by the exertions of a labourer employed in breaking up metal fur the furnace, and, under the influence of an emulation of by no means an aristocratic character, pulled off his c0atr and taking a hammer, exerted his utmost strength ill attempting to break up a piece of metal, in vain; the metal was too tenacious for his Lord- ship's muscular resources, he gave it up for a bad job, and perceiving the labourers smile at his un- successful attempt, offered to bet five shillings that neither of them could break the piece he had in vain essayed to break. The bet was accepted, and the " thews and sinews" of the labourer wuu hiin the crown, his Lordship laughing heartily at the result.— Weekly Dispatch. A gentleman iu London, was once complainiug of a hurt in his back, produced by a fall. A sympa- thizing friend enquired, with much kindness, " Was it near the vertebra:?" " No," said the other, " near the Obelisk, in the Bluckfriurs- road." WHALEBONE CLOTH.— M. Sc'. tulz, of Prague, has taken out a patent for the manufacture of a kind of cloth from whalebone. We are informed that the cloth obtained by this process bears a strong re- semblance to silk, aud is particularly adapted for making cravats, under- waistcoats, ribbons, HAWKS AND COCKCHAFERS.— The Kestril ( Falco titiuncvlusj one of our most common British hawks, does not, as is usually supposed, prey chiefly upon small birds, lint upon field mice, which it discovers, by its keen eye, among the grass, and pounces upon them unerringly. It only takes birds when mice cannot be had. It alsu makes an occasional supper of cockchafers ; for a gentleman informed Mr. Selby that lie watched a kestril one evening through a glass, hawking amongst a flight of cockchafers, aud, having shot it, he found its stomach filled with their remains. A snake, measuring two feet ten inches in length, was last week killed at Weald Gullet, near the corner of Epping Forest, and, on cutting it open, a foot of a rabbit, fresh and undecayed, was dis- covered in its belly. The snake, when found, was iu a stale of stupor, and did uot attempt to escape. — Chelmsford Chrotiitle. IMPORTANT DECISION — In the case of Bryan v. Whistler, clerk, in the Court of King's Bench, last week, the Court held that a rector cannot lawfully grunt to a parishioner, even by deed, a right to the permanent and exclusive use of a family vault iu a church ; und that plaintiff, leaving purchased such a rig ill from defendant for £ 20, but It a vault and erected a tablet over it, buried a friend iu the vault, and had possession of it six years ;— and defendant having broken open the vault, and buried a stranger iu it, without plaiutili'a consent:— no actiou- at- law was maintainable. DREADFUL STORM.—( From the Chester Chroni- cle.)— This city was, on Wednesday morning, visited with one of those dreadful war of the elements to which this country is almost a stranger, exceeding in violence and duration any storm we ever witnessed. For some days previously the atmosphere appeared surcharged with electricity, and showers of rain, accompanied with thunder and lightning, had been frequent. On Monday it rained incessantly from about noon till seven o'clock in the evening, but, there was no thunder, and the clouds still seemed burdened with matter indicating a disturbed state. On Tuesday afternoon there was a heavy rain, attended with thunder and lightning, and the heat was peculiarly oppressive. This storm was most tremendous at Liverpool and its neighbourhood, continuing for about an hour and a half. Ou the George's pier- head, a car which was standing near the New Baths was overturned, but the horse was nut materially injured. A man who was standing near it was knocked down, and, thuugh very much stunned at the time, soon after recovered. The top- mast of the Eclipse steamer, which was lying off the pier- head, was likewise struck by the electric fluid in a very singular manner: the mast was split down the middle, one- half being completely shattered. The electric fluid, like a large ball of fire, fell iu Brombro Park, the seat of J. Mainwaring, Esq. and struck a fine old elm tree, and carried away one branch which was three feet in circumference. The part where the divisiun tuuk place is left as smooth as possible ; and, singular to relate, there is not the slightest damage perceptible on any other part of the tree. The part of the bough has a very stroug sulphureous smell. In this neighbourhood the storm possessed nothing beyond the usual appearance of a thunder storm. Ou Wednesday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, the sound of distant thunder was heard which gradually drew niglier till the whole weight of the storm appeared centred over the city. About eleven the rain began to descend lightly, but soon increased in violence, accompanied by large hail- stones and vivid flashes of lightning, which were rapidly succeeded by " the roar of heaven's artillery ." The heavy masses of clouds moved slow ly— there was scarcely a breath of wind— the rain and hail came down more rapidly, the former in very large drops and the latter hardly congealed, having the appear- ance of one vast sheet of water descending from heaven. The thunder increased in its volume of sound, and one discharge produced an appalling effect on the mind, from the impicssion that the electric fluid must have come in contact with the earth, and probably inflicted loss of life and pro- perty. We rejoice to say we have not yet heard that any serious injury has been sustained; the electric fluid entered the upper story of the tobacco ware- house of Mr. Nicholls, in Cuppin- street, separated a beam in two, descended by the outside of the wall, and left the impression of the haudle of the latch on one of the lower doors. The rain continued to fall in torrents, and all the ordinary means of taking it off were insufficient. It penetrated through the roofs of houses, the doors, and the cellar- windows^ and many a cask of good stingo was set floating The rain gained admission into the oven of an unfortunate baker, from whence it ejected sundry joints of meat, fruit pies, & c. The streets were rendered nearly impassable, the water pouring down them with such force as to wash the soil from between the stones. The surface of the Roodee was nearly covered with the liquid element, which gave it the appearance of a lake. It was nearly half past twelve ere the violence of the storm abated, shortly after which the peace of the elements was restored, although the clouds throughout the remainder of the day threatened a repetition of violence. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT KIRKALDY, SCOTLAND. — On Sunday, the 15th instant, the celebrated Mr. Irving was to preach in the church of Kirkaldy, and in consequence the church, which was calculated to contain about 1800 persons, was crowded to excess, Just before the clergyman was expected to mate his appearance in the pulpit, the great range of galleries on the western side of the edifice yielded to the enormous pressure, and fell upon the hapless assem- blage underneath. The dreadful result was, that 27 persons were killed, and a great number were wounded in a more or less dangerous degree. Those who had the presence of mind to prostrate themselves in their pews escaped : and it appears that more were killed and wounded in rushing to the doors to get out, and in the trampling upon one another that ensued, than by the fall of the gallery.— The church was erected by contract in the year 1807, by a person who soon after became bankrupt, and the work was always considered- to have been done iu an unsatis- factory manner.- On Setting Public World by Contract. Extrait from a Report by Mr. Hamilton, Civil Engineer, lately printed by order of the gentlemen for whom it was drawn up :— " Works of this description should be let by contract to some skilful and responsible persun, upun a proper plan and specification, and at such a price as w ill afford him a fair remuneration fur his risk and labour, and enable hirti to complete the work with credit tu himself and satisfaction to his employers, and to this I revert the more particularly in consequence of having seen the bad effects arising from a want of attention to it. Was it more generally considered how impussible it is that any man can ultimately get through an undertaking for less than it is really wurth, unless he has money and wishes to throw it away ( of which we seldom meet with or hear of an instance), and how unseasonable to expect he should entirely give up his time and skill without reward, and run a great hazard into the bai^ ain, merely because he is engaged for the public, who will never even thank him for so doing,— would those who cuuntenance such a system but reflect that the luss and discredit ultimately recoil upun themselves, and that he who takes work at a price acknowledged lo be too little may fairly be suspected of never intend- ing to finish it, they would never lend themselves to such proceedings; aud the consequence would be, we should not only sec fewer failures and less indivi- dual sacrifice, but so much work also would not so often require to be done twice over, at more than double what with proper management it would have originally cost, and which ( were it not invidious lo du su) 1 cuuld prove, by referring tu various instances that have come under my own knowledge. I am quite aware how common it is to observe, when a low- offer is made,—" I f he chooses to do so and Kill bring forward security, uhy should it not be uaept- edt he has the sume opportunity of judging for himself as others." To these arguments 1 reply, that he who has had any experience is perfectly aware that the best and only surety is in the respon- sibility and knowledge of the contractor, and in giving him a fair price fur his wurk, and every uther has repeatedly been fuund useless. Frequently, toy, men throw in for work w ho know not tuny of its nature and value ; aud as to taking an incompetent offer merely because a person is fool or knave enough to make it, those who, knowing or believing that he is acting wrong, allow him to proceed when they have the power to prevent it, are in some degree answer- able for the consequences, and ought nut tu complain if they afterwards become the dupes of their own short- sighted policy. In all common cases mutual advantage forms the basis of each transaction, and it is difficult to understand why the Contractor for public works should so continually bo made an exception to the general rule. Let but the system of ruinous and ignorant competition be discountenanced,' and the respectable contractor would again take that place whence he has been driven by unnecessary thriftiness and want of knowledge on the one hand, and by the utter recklessness and total want of prin- ciple of penny less adventurers on the other— men who know they have nothing to lose; and when they, unfortunately for their employers, do get their " foot upon a piece of wori,'' are either constantly on' the alert to find out some way to break through the contract, and then tu make their own terms with those who to their cost find out their error, and at the same time how difficult it is to retrieve it; or else are continually trying to impose upon every one around them who may be credulous enough to put faith in their plausible professions." If success in curing inveterate cases of any disease be a criterion of the value of anv medicilk', it must be acknowledged that the reputation Mr. Lignum's Antiscorbutic Drops have attained is truly deserved, for it has been justly observed that Mr. Lignum pub- lishes more extraordinary and well authenticated cures than all other medicine Proprietors together. These Drops are found useful in all the forms of Scrofulous and Scorbutic Complaints, which when neglected have been the fruitful source of the most serious Diseases.— See our first page. If there be any truths in political science more obvious than others we think they are these— that no rough produce of which we possess at home an ample supply, and no manufactured produce which we have sufficient means of fabricating, ought to be allowed to be imported, at least without, payment of a heavy duty. The only argument in behalf of the Corn Importation Bill which is entitled to attentiun — we mean the commercial argument— is founded on the assumption that we have not at home a sufficiently- ample supply for the demands of the community.— Let U be shown that we have, and prohibition, as it would be the soundest, would be the most generally approved policy. It ought to be the same in ail tilings, and would be, could men be found as much alive to the interests of the enmmunity in small points, which have little but principle to support them, as they are in gn at. The case which appears to us a striking violation of the first rule above laid down is the allowed importation of lead ore. Our own attention was attracted towards it very forcibly, by noticing the other day, in a Scotch paper, an account of its effects amongst the poor, but most industrious and interesting little community of Leadhills. The miners of this isolated village have often been noticed by travellers and tourists, not more for the strict propriety of their ordinary behaviour than for their general intelligence. The mines are very old. A Scotch poet, writing in the commencement of the last century, and, seeking for a comparison of boundless riches, talks of the " wealth of Hopetown's mountains." Until very lately they were as com- fortable as contracted, hut the competition of foreign produce has now reduced them to the greatest distress. Many of them have been paid off, and more are expecting a dismissal. The effects of the new doctrines are here seen operating in a limited circle, and upon a small number, but they are not the less instructive. As we said of the greatest and most important article of home produce— if there had been the slightest chance of a deficient supply, to call in the aid of foreigners might have been allowable; but, in the present case, there is not only no chance of deficiency, but the supply is, and has been for many years, much greater than all the demand can absorb.— New Times. Some time ago a lady at Pontefract, a connoisseur in zoological specimens of the canine tribe, pur- chased from an itinerant dog- dealer a most beautiful little French poodle. His sparkling eyes, half hid amidst a profusion of silken curls, his sle. ek aud glossy sides, aided by a multiplicity ol innocent gambols, attracted tlie hearts of all beholder", and made liitu the pet of his mistress and the family. In a few weeks, however, the poor little fallow was observed to grow unaccountably dull and stupid; his inirthfuliiess and vivacity were lost; he became snappish, refused his food, and ultimately crept into a corner, where, in spite of Blaine and brimstone balls, he gave up the ghost. Having been a very great favourite, and although defunct, the beauty of bis silvery coat uot being wholly spoiled, his mistress determined u, o. i having him stuffed, and sent for an eminent artist to perform the operation. Judge of the. astonishment of all parties when it was dis- covered, upon the operator making his first incision, that the little pet, instead of beiuga veritable French poodle, was no other than an English mongrel, sewed up in the hide of a dog of a more valuable species! Au oversight, however, appears to have been committed by the ingenious speculator who provided his new suit, in not leaving him room to gl ow , for the disorder w hich carried off the unfor- tunate animal seems to have been produced by the tightness of his outer garment. Similar impositions are not very. uncommon, we understand; we have been told of a person in Loudon, who purchased a lot of exceedingly fine canary birds, which all proved, after a few weeks'wear aud washing, to be humble sparrows dyed yellow for the occasion.— llull Pocket. THE VULTURE'S POWER OF SIGHT.— Professor Lichensteiu relinked, when travelling in South Africa, that if an animal chanced to die in the very midst of the most desert wilderness, in less than halt' an hour there was seen, high in the zenith, a number of minute objects descending in spiral wheels, and increasing in visible magnitude at every revolution. These are soon discovered to be a flight of vultures, which must have observed from a height, viewless to the human eye, the dropping of the animal immedi- ately marked out for prey. This fact brings to our mind the passage in St. Matthew—' Where the carcase is, there will the eaflles be gathered together,'— and ' where the slain is, there is she.' It is probable the vulture is here meant; for the eagle, unless severely pressed by hunger, will not prey ou carrion. Profes- sor Paxtun, indeed, contends that the eagle, and not the vulture, is meant, and quotes the Arabian histo- rian, Damir, who asserts, that the eagle can discover a carcase at the distance of four hundred parasangs ; but if he find that part of it has been previously eaten by the assifrage, he will not touch the leavings of his inferior. Selby asserts the fact from long observation, that the eagle rejects carrion. The rapidity of the flight of the eagle, or vulture ( which- ever of the birds is meant), is beautifully alluded to by Job : ' My days are passed away, as the eagle that hasteth to his prey.' Dr. Lyons, of Edinburgh, proposes an ingenious aud practical test for trying the soundness of the lungs. The patient is directed to draw in a full breath, aud then begin to count as far as he can, slowly and audibly, without a< rain drawing in his breath. The number of seconds he can continue counting is then lo he carefully noted, lu confirmed consumption, the time does uot exceed eight, and is often less than six seconds, lu pleurisy aud pneu- monia, it ranges from nine to four seconds. But when the lungs are sound, tbe time will range as high as from twenty to thirty- five seconds. EXTRAORDINARY CLIMBING PLANT. The cogue of Chili is one the most extraordinary climb- ing plants ever noticed by naturalists. It is not, like tbe hop, convolvulus, or the vine, contented with the support afforded by a single tree, but when it has reached the top of one, it shoots down again, and in a short time attaius the summit of another. Proceeding in this manner, it has been known to extend over more than 200 yards. The toughness aud pliability of its stems render theiu valuable for making baskets aud even cables. THE SEA SNAIL. The violet snail ( Helix ianthina) swims at liberty in the sea. It is fur- nished with four teutaculu, or horns, and a mem- branaceous bag, consisting of a number of small bladders, which it inflates ut pleasure, and is thus enabled to float ou Ihe surface of the water. This sea- snail possesses, besides the property of emitting a phosphorescent light, and stains the hand of a rich purple colour, not easily removed. It is interesting to observe the movements of this pretty little shell when its inhabitant inflates its baloon to skim tlie surface of the billows in its fairy boat. CHINESE METHOD OF DUNNING—— When a Chinese debtor refuses payment, the creditor, as a last resource, threatens to carry oft- the door of his house on the first day of the year. This is ac- counted the greatest misfortune that could happen, as iu that case there would be no obstruction to the < ntrauce of the . evil genii. To avoid this con- summation, a debtor not unfrequently sets fire to his house on the last night of the year. PORCELAIN.— The manufacture of porcelain is altogether a thing of great nicety: the materials must be selected with the greatest care, it being necessary that the resulting compound should re- main perfectly white after exposure to heat, aud that it should have a semivitreous texture, a certain degree of translucency, aud bear a high temperature without fusing. Such properties will be generally found to be possessed by the old china cups, in the cabinets of the curious. They will bear great changes of temperature without cracking, and great heat without fusing, and retain their whiteness; these tire requisites seldom found. If you examine the cliina of Sivres, you will see that it is very white, very delicate, but still it will uot bear a great heat without fusing. Sotne of our china is very white aud delicate, but retains great fusibility, approach- ing more lo the character of glass than porcelain; you do not get a combination of the trauslucency and infusibility, the characteristics of good porce- lain. The figures which you see ou porcelain are painted on the ware whilst in a state of biscuit, and the colours are afforded by metallic oxides, which are brought out on the application of heat, and as many of tbe substances employed undergo great change of colour after having been heated, you see that great experience is required iu their selection. Now the colours, which require a high temperature to bring them out, are laid on first, and then such as require a less temperature, and several burniugs are necessary before the colouring is completed.— Brandc's Lectures. ABSTRACT OF THE SMALL NOTES BILL, JUNE 6 1828.— In the bill « to restrain the negotiation in England of Promissory Notes and Bills under a limited sum, issued or made payable in Scotland or Ireland," there is only one enacting clause, of which the following is the substance :— NOTE.— Tbe words primed in Italics are prdposed to be inserted in Ihe liltee. If any body politic or corporate, or person or per- sons shall, after the fifth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and twenty- nine, by any art, device, or means whatsoever, issue, publish, negotiate, or trans- fer, in any pail of England, any promissory or other note, drull, engagement, or und'eriaking, in writing, made payable ou demand lo the bearer thereof, iu any part of Scotland or Ireland, and being negotiable or transferable, for tbe payment of any sum of money less tliynjSfe pounds, or on w hich less lhan Ihe sum of five pounds shall remain undischarged, every such body politic or corporate, or person or persons, shall for every note, bill, & o. » o issued, negociaied, or transferred, forfeit and pay for every such offence any sum not exceeding twenty pounds nor less than fire pounds, lo he sued for, recovered, levied, miti- gated, and applied, by any justice or justices of the peace. BEES.— At the meeting of the Royal Society, May 22d, a letter was read from Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq. addressed to the president, containing an account of some circumstances relating to the economy of bees-.— In a former paper the author stated his having observed that, several days previous to the settling of a swarm of bees in the cavity of a hollow tree adapted to their reception, a considerable number of those insects were incessantly employed in examining the state of the tree, and particularly of every dead knot above the cavity which appeared likely to admit water. He has since had an opportunity of noticing, that the bees who performed this task of inspection, instead of being the same individuals, as lie had formerly imagined, were, in fact, a continual succession of different bees: the whole number in the course of three days being such as to warrant the inference, that not a single labouring bee ever emigrates in a swarm without having seen its proposed future habitation. He finds that the same remark applies not only to the permanent place of settlement, but also to the place where the bees rest temporarily, soon after swarming, in order to collect their numbers.— The swarms which were the subjects of Mr. Knight's experiments shewed a remarkable disposition to unite under the same queen. On on: occasion, a swarm which had arisen from one of his hives settled upon a bush, at a distance of about twenty- five yards ; but instead of collecting together into a compact mass, as they usually do, they remained thinly dispersed for nearly half an hour, after which, as if tired of waiting, they singly, and one after the other, and not in obedience to any signal, arose and returned home. The next morning a swarm issued from a neighbouring hive, and pro ceeded to the same bush upon which the other bees had settled on the preceding day, collecting themselves into a mass, as they usually do when their queen is present. In a few minutes afterwards a very large assemblage of bees rushed from the hive from which the former swarm had issued, and proceeded directly to the one which had just settled, and instantly united with them. The author is led from these and other facts to conclude, that such unions of swarms are generally, if not always, the result of previous concert and arrangement.— Literary Gazette. CONSUMPTION. The « Literary Gazette' an nounces that a Mr. Long, a surgeon, has discovered a cuie for consumptive diseases. The question ( says this journal) whether that gentleman is right or wrong, is of prodigious importance to society; and having heard several well- authenticated instances of the cure of these fatal maladies, we could not hold ourselves justified in rejecting as visionary aud unreal what appears to be so convincingly vouched for by disinterested persons of high respectability and great intelligence. THE RED VIPER OF DORSETSHIRE.—- The Rev. Mr. Rackett states that a serpent, known to the game- keepers of Dorsetshire under the name of the Red Viper, was recently killed in Cranbourne Chacc. It does not appear to have been previously kuown to British naturalists, and is considered to be more poisonous than the common viper, but fortunately verv Mr. Hockctt describes it as ot* a marked red colour, and thinks it probably the Coluber Cher sea of Linnaeus.

J GAMBLING ON THE CHELTENHAM COURSE.— Mr. Crockford presides/— Gambling booths are rather numerous this year upon the hill, and we understand ihe proprietors have been unusually successful in the art of flat- cat chirrg. Among- the various seductive games arising out of onr fashionable intercourse with France, thosf » of hazard, St uny deux, cinq, appear lo be the most popular. In one row no less than five superior canvas hells dazzle the eyes of the unwary with a display of their golden treasures, which are to be distributed among the votaries of the blind goddess, through the medium of these moral and instructive amusements. Ohe table among them has been distinguished during the last two days, by a man standing at the entrance of the booth, vociferating— Walk in, Gentlemen, Mr. Crockford presides! The renoivned Mr. Crockford presides! By the announcement of this magic name, he has proved of considerable annoyance to his rivals, and enabled his confederates to monopolize nearly all the practice in their profession— the discriminating gullibility of John Bull inducing him to pay unusual homage to the fame of this great master spirit of the age in controlling the doctrines of chance. If ihe establishment above alluded to really belongs to Mr. Crockford, that celebrated artist has reason to congra- tulate himself on obtaining golden opinions, from numerous dupes who crowded this temple of infamy. PICKPOCKETS.— The light- fingered gentry have been busily employed this week among the sport- ing characters on the race- course, one of whom had his pocket picked of sixty pounds on Tuesday afternoon. Such was the vigilance and activity of our police, that llie thief was apprehended a few minutes after tin robbery, and the money restored to its owner. Tl » > artist who so dexterously contrived to abstract the property on this occasion*, had been previously seen sporting sovereigns and crowns at a gaming table, with which establishment it may not be uncharitable to pre suuie that he was a partner. The Morning Herald says—" We augur much' good to the country from the Duke of Wei ling- ton's, right- judging mind, and promptness and decision of character. The country has long wanted such a manf at the head of her affairs, to put an end to the reigii of the dreamers and talkers, into whose hands the^ had unfortunately fallen. From his grace's three immediate predecessors, all following each other, as it were, in a moment, little or no striking good was to be expected. Of Lord Liverpool we would wish' to speak with no other feeling than respect^— for per- fect respect, and nothing more, was precisely the feeling which his lordship's administration excited both at home and abroad. Then came Mr. Canning, whose short- lived career was one of much bustle and pretension, but, in the words of the Poet, * full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.' Lord Godericb, the last of the three, and the Duke's immediate pre- decessor, may be described in homely language as ' a chip in porridgewhich means a mighty good sort of man. Now the Duke of Wellington, in our esti- mation, possesses all the good points of his predeces- sors, without their deficiencies, and has superadded some valuable qualities of his own, in which they were one and all wanting. Above all, he possesses that quickness of perception and promptness of action, which are most essential in all matters of business, and which are often of more real value than even the more perfect results of a slow and more mature judgment, the benefit of which is lost and gone by in the lingering details which attend its progress to maturity. In the late affair with Mr. Huskisson, his Grace gave the most, striking proofs of these peculiar qualities of his mind. In ordinary hands that affair would have lasted a good month, till, in rejoinders and sur- rejoinders, all the tropes and figures of lan- guage and of thought had been exhausted. But not so the Duke, as Mr. Huskisson now finds to his cost- His is no war of words, but rather a word and blow seem to have begun and ended the matter. It is no small praise too, to the Duke of Wellington, and another striking feature of the manly independence of his mind, that he seems quite indifferent to those lesser aids, by which lesser minds endeavour t& ingratiate themselves into public opinion. Among the rest, he is, we dare say, not at al) indifferent to the power of the press, or to the means which office gives him of procuring from it a certain degree of support. But while certain portions of his adminis- tration have their journals ready to puff them into notice, even at the expense of their chief, the Duke himself seems indifferent to this kind of aid, willing to leave his conduct to speak for itself \ and well knowing that in the unbought eulogy of the inde- pendent part of the press, he is more likely to derive efficient support than could be obtained from the thick and thin, undiscriminating fulsomeness, which will laud to the skies to- day ( as in poor Mr. Canning'^ case) the man and his actions, which to- morrow it will consign to ignominy and derision. In the Duke's case, both the praise and the abuse of the i best public instructors' seem to be alike thrown away- This, to be sure, is provoking enough, especially to that class of the literati who found in Mr. Canning a minister ever ready to attend to them in preference almost to those who had real business to transact with him. But now, alas! i Othello's occupation' is at an end. No speeches to be re- written, re- edited^ and puffed. No snug clerkships, consulships, or what not, for those who could tickle the vanity of the minister through means of tlie daily, weekly, or monthly press. The Duke, it would seem, cares not a farthing for this once highly prized aid, and for that indifference, we strongly suspect, the people of England like him the better.'' PLATINA.— As the introduction of a platina coinage in Russia ( noticed in our last) will form a new era in financial transactions, and as many of our readers may be unacquainted with the nature and intrinsic value of this metal, the following observations upon the subject may be interesting.— The ore, or native platina, is peculiar to the province of Choco in Co- lumbia, the Oural mines in Russia, and in very small quantities in the Brazils.— The nature and properties of platina were first investigated about 70 years ago, but it is only within the last 20 years that it has been applied to any extent in the arts \ long before this period it was considered as offering such temptation for the adulteration of gold coin ( in consequence of its great specific gravity), that a law was passed by the Spanish government prohibiting any one having it in their possession; and proprietors of the gold washings were obliged to deliver to the officers of the Mint whatever platina had been separated from the gold ( with which it is found combined), which is said to have accumulated to a very large quantity, now in the possession of the Columbian government, who, finding that from the increased consumption it has become an intrinsically valuable metal, intend establishing a circulating medium of it-, and the refiners of platina, both in England and France, have sent tenders lo the congress at Bogota to effect that object; and now that the Russian government have adopted it as a coin, there is no doubt but it will be successfully carried into effect and acknowledged, provided public opinion is sufficiently satisfied of its intrinsic value : which leads us to consider, first, how far it is available as a useful metal; secondly, its advantages as a coin, and value as a circulating medium. From the properties of platina in resisting the acids, and its great infusibility, it is applicable to very many purposes for which glass vessels are em- ployed, as the fabrication of acid, refining gold, and a variety of utensils used in chemical preparations, also for a variety of philosophical instruments* in which, from its property of resisting corrosion a « nd heat, it is the only substitute for, and superior to gold.— The advantages as a coin are the difficulty of adulteration, its specific gravity, and its ductility and hardness.— In regard to its value, ' it would also form an excellent medium of circulation between gold and silver, as its proposed current value would be about four times that of silver and a quarter that of gold, which estimate was proposed to the Russian and Columbian governments by those best acquainted with the extent of consumption and intrinsic value as a useful metal. The coin struck by order of the Rus- sian government bears a current value of about 29s. per oz. troy, at which price it will only answer as a local circulation ; but from the native or platina ore being so much more plentiful in Columbia, it will probably be Issued in pieces weighing one ounce each, of the current value of five dollars, at which ratio there is no doubt of its becoming a circulating medium acknowledged by all nations, and a source of immense wealth to that state. AMFRICAN MAGNIFYING POWER. A Solar Microscope is prepared for exhibition at Hartford, which is said to possess a magnifying power of 3,000,000, and may be raised to 1,000,000, if the room is sufficiently large and the light strong. By its assistance the white mealy particles on the sur- face of figs appear living objects of 2^ feet in length, — the stiug of the common honey bee appears 14 feet in length, and hundreds of snakes of the enormous extent of from 6 to 8 feet, may be dis- covered in two drops of vinegar.— New York Daily Advertiser. 1 1 3 2 2 3 4 dr BANKRUPTS, TUESDAY, JUNE 17.— Henry Barker, of New Broad Street Court, " wine- mere limit.— Marina Rolfe, of Mansfield place, Kentish town, victualler.— John Husking Shearman, of Park street, Maryleborie, surgeon, apothecary .— William Kirkputrick and John Gadsden, of Austin Friars, provision- agents.— Joseph Baines, of Mark lane, wine- merchant.— John Rudd, of Everingham, Yorkshire, jobber.— James Barker, of Shrewsbury, coffee- house- keeper.— John Candler, of Dewshnry, Yorkshire, and Huddersfield, grocer.— Joseph Enook, of Bath, grocer and tea- dealer.— Thomas Nash, of Ipswich, currier and leather seller.— John Stacey, of High street, Whitechapel, and Suffolk street, Stepney, currier.— Samuel Parsons, of Bradford, Wilts, victualler.— John Summons and William Lay ton Summons, t of Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, lace. manu- facturers.— Thomas Pike, of Paddington street, stone- mason.— George Strafford, of Kemp Town, near Brighton, builder.— Thomas Scriven, of West Cowef, Isle of Wiuht, hatter.
