On this subject, in a letter addressed to tlie Editor of the New Timet, a Correspondent says—. « It has been shewn, nor will the greatest populopholist, even Malthas or M'Cullbch, the Ittominff t'hrcniiele, or Wilmot Morton himself deny, that vvc possess abundance of. natural capital- land and labour,— for. a much larger population than our present. Artificial capital then, or that produced by the interference of man, is the only question. Can we command abundance, of this also ? If we can, it imist be. infatuation, or absurdity indeed, that would seek, emigration as any remedy for our national ills or dis- tresses. , • " Now, let me ask the school in what part of ( his capital we are deficient ? Is it. a deficiency of build- ings, furniture,, books;- implements, machinery, car- riages, tiring, cattle, clothing, raw or manufactured materials, shipping, or food of any kind ? The country can command a much greater " quantity of all these at present than she could in times when not even the most- terror- struck populaiiao- aMiofrer will say emigration was necessary. It will be allowed on all hands, that it was not requisite, fur instance, at the period of the revolution, a few years after which, Davenant assured the Marquis of Nonnanby, that ' we wanted hands and people to carry on the woollen and linen manufactories together.' ix t us compare, then, our capital and population at that time and at present. " The value of the whole kingdom, according to Gregory King, was, in 1888, six HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLIONS of pounds sterling. At present it is calculated to be much above THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS of pounds sterling. " Nothing, but what the school itself will allow R capital, is included in either of these valuations. The population, which, though I regard it as the liest capital, the school counts not only as no capital, but as the destruction or very reverse of capital, aud has no value set on it. " Tlie quantity, then, of ( his evil, of the population of England and Wales was in 1798, according to Gregory King, 5,500,000. But he calculated , the population by the number of houses, which were 1,300,000, and allowed only 4 and 3- llths persons to a house : this estimate, however, is generally acknow- ledged to be too low.—^ Evon Dr. Vrico, in his later writings, is disposed to admit 5 and l- Gth to a house. Howlet, front a greater number of enumerations than Price's-, insists on 5 and 2- 5ths. This estimate makes the population of England ami Wales, at that, period, upwards of 7,000,000; arid if we add the population of Scotland, we may well take the population of Great. Britain at 0,500,000. The population of Great Britain ( without Ireland)', is now taken at something over 14,000,000. " Thus, then, it is seen, that while our population at present is only double what it was at the period of the revolution, our capital, even according to estimates which the school itself will not dispute, is fire- fold " But if we consider how much our productions, and the real capital of oitr productive powers have increased since, we shall clearly perceive that a fire- fold augmentation of Capital is much within the fact. The extent of the lands of treat Britain, it is true, is the same; but the value of them is not so. Great portions of those lands are rendered at least ten- fold more valuable ; and we have only to apply what the school calls our superabundance of liantls to the remainder, and fhe value of much of that aho' will be increased equally. " Let us then look at our machinery : how mttr- li is that increased? and how much are our productive powers increased in consequence? No one will deny that, ten times ten- fold is short of the truth. - " What is the increase in our exports ? The annual value of our produce and manufactures exported at the former period was only £ 4,080,087. At the present period it is, in 1825, £ 18,024,051; in 182(; y £ 46,453,021 ; iu 1827, £ 40,332,104. Thus it ap- pears that the increase in our export is nearly tirelrc- fuld, and every one knows that it is only a want of markets, not of means or productive powers, which limits the increase even to that. « If we view our shipping, we shall find the increase still greater. We cannot at all Corn- plain tff fhe slow augmentation of articles of luxury. How, then, can the school imagine that it is a deficiency of capital which makes emigration necessary, when, even by the e tiinate most favourable to its " own theories* our capital is increased fire- fold, sitrce a period whert emigration was not at, all thought, requisite; though our population is only doubled > Is a delicijm- y of nioriey what f hey deem the cause of the necessity? The quantity of money or currency I certainly con- sider too restricted. ShiHual Bridgnorth Worcester - Macclesfield - Mr.' Gilbert Brown ; M-. Beuj. Partridge ; Messrs. Smith ii Parker; Mr. D. Hall.

CURIOUS ST KUCTURK OF THE EYE OF THE BIITIY AN D OF " TIIK HORSE.— Birds flying- in the air, and meeting with many obstacles, as branches and leaven of trees, reqirive to have their eyes sometimes as flat as possible- for protection, but sometimes as round as possible, that they may see the small objects, ( lies and other insects, which they are chasing through the all- aud which they puisne with the most unerring certainty. This could only be accomplished . by giving them a power of suddenly changing lite form of their eyes. Accordingly, there is a set of hard scales placed on the outer coat • of llieir eve, round fhe place where Ihe light enters; and over these scale* are drawn the muscles or fibres by which motion is communicated; soth. it, by acting with thes- e muscles, Ihe bird can pi- ess the scales-, and squeeze the natural magnifier of the eye into 3 round shape when it wishes to follow an insect through ihe air, and can relax the scales, in order to flatten Ihe eye again when it would SJC a distant object, or move safely through leaves and twigs. This power of altering the shape of the eye is possessed by birds of prey in a very remarkable degree. They can thus see the smallest objects close to them, and can yet discern larger bodies at vast distances, as a carcase stretched upon the plain, or a dying fish afloat 011 the water. A singular provision is made for keeping the surface of the bird's eye clean, for w iping the glass of the iiwtro. merit, as it were, and also for protecting it, while rapidly flying through the air und through thickets, without hindering the sight. Birds are, for these purposes, furnished with a third eyelid, a fine membrane or skiti, which is constantly moved very rapidly over the eyeball by two muscles placed in the back of the eye. One of the muscles ends in n loop, and is fixed in the corner of Ihe membrane, lo pull it - backward and forward, A third eyelid of Ihe same kind is found in the horse, and called the haw; it is moistened with a pulpy substance, or mucilage, to fak> hold of the dust on Ihe eyeball, and wipe it clear off; so that the eye is hardly ever seen with any thing upon if, though greatly exposed from its size and posture. The swift motion of Ihe haw is given to it by a gristly, elastic substance, placed between the eyeball and Ihe socket, and striking obliquely, so as to drive out the havv with great velocity over the eye, and then let it come back as quickly. Ignorant persons, when this haw is inflamed from cold, and swells so as to appear, which It never does in a healthy state, often mistake it for an imperfection, and cut it off: so nearly do ignorance and cruelly produce the same mischief.

The Gazette de Fiance of Thursday says, that the blockade of Alexandria. by the allied squadrons had been determined upon, and that Ibrahim Pacha was only wafchitig- an opportunity for escaping- out of the Morea with the main body of his troops.- The Prussian State ( iafette says that, according to the latest accounts received in Berlin, the 5' us sians crossed the ' Dan ube on the 7 t h iust. ou three points. The Turks offered some resistance; but about a thousand ZapoTago Cossavksy'in whom they principally relied, going oVer with their Hettnan to the Russians, they w et'e completely routed, aft; V a short contest. The Russian loss, is slated at fifty men. An article dated the 3l « t nit. states that a Tartar had arrived at Corfu from Constantinople, with an invitation from fhe Porte for the English and French Ambassadors immediately to proceed to Constanti- nople to treat for peace ; but that at present the invitation was uot accepted, owing to the Russian Ambassador not being also invited. It is expected t fiat on the fettfrii of the Tartar, an invitation will come for the Russian Ambassador, when ne- gOciatious may perhaps be entered into. The French papers of Friday furnish some addi- tional particulars respecting the operations on the Danube. It appears that the Emperor of Russia crossed that river on the t) th instant, escorted by a body of the Zaporo » ian Cossacks, lately subjects of the Porte. The Pacha of Issaktcha surren- dered that fortress ou the 10th,. with eighty- five pieces of cannon, seventeen standards, provisions, and ammunition. The Russians also were success- ful vn an attack on a Turkish Hot ilia of thirty- two vessels, twenty- si* of which were taken, although the Russians did uot number more than seventeen. The Turks were endeavouring to succour Brailow, which was on the point' of surrendering. Our present relations with Portugal, and fhe situation of that country, formed the subject of a short discussion in the House of Commons on Tues- J day night. Lord John Russell put a question to Ministers, stating his opinion that the crime of rebellion had been completed by Don Miguel, and t hat he could be viewed in no other light than that of an usurper. Under these circumstances he inquired whether government had given directions to our ambassador to quit Lisbon ? Mr. Peel repeated what he had stated on a former occasion, that his Majesty's government so entirely disapproved of l ie proceedings of Don Miguel, that in obedieuce to the orders sent out, the diplomatic functions of the British Ambassador had ceased. In reply to another question from Mr. Hobhouse, respecting the securityj> f British property and lives at Oporto, the Right Hon. Secretary said, that under any circumstance this country would not neglect its duty towards its subjects abroad. On Tuesday Messrs. Booth' and Copeland were Returned Sheriffs of London without opposition. MINES.— In the eourse of the year 1826 and the first half of the year 1827, no less than 14,305 pounds of gold, being of the value of nearly £ 895,000 sterling, Were obtained from the mines in the Oural mountains, near Catherinebourg, in the government of Perm, in Russia. 845 lbs. of platina were also obtained during the same period. A charter of incorporation has just received the royal signature, constituting an institution of civil engineers, and naming Mr. Telford its president. The objects of such institution, as recited in the charter, are, " The general advancement of mechani- cal science, and more particularly for promoting the acquisition of that species of knowledge which con- stitutes the profession of a civil engineer; being the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, of the means of production and of traffic in states, both for external and internal trade, as applied in the construction of roads, bridges, aqueducts, canals, river navigation, and docks, for internal intercourse and exchange ; and in the construction of ports, harbours, moles,- breakwaters, and light- houses; and in the art of navigation by artificial power, for the purposes of commerce ; and in the construction and adaptation of machinery, and in the drainage of cities and towns."

The bridge at Oftenitza has been completed for the passage of a division of the Russian Army in that quarter. Whilst the division that crossed from Ismail will co- Operate with the troops besieging Ibraii, the division that effects the passage at Ottenitza will probably lay siege to Silistria or Rudscliuk. It is said that some pestilential disorder has made its ap- pearance in j. that part of Wallacliia nearest the Danube. Ibraii continues to hold out. A third parallel has been found necessary— the making of which is occasionally disturbed by sallies from the garrison. We are anxious to know whether the Russian army, masking the Turkish fortresses on the Danube, will march on towards Constantinople, or whether they will think it necessary to effect the reduction of those fortresses in the first instance.

JULY I, 1828. WINDSOR, JUNE 27— Yesterday, the King dined, for the first time this season, at Virginia Water. In the forenoon his Majesty gave orders that dinner might be prepared, at the usual hour, at the Fishing Cottage— not the Temple,— and at one o'clock his Majesty, accompanied by the Earl of l'owis, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, followed by the Lord Steward and Sir Andrew Barnard in a single phaeton, and proceeded to Virginia Water. Ludlow Races take place this day and to- morrow. From the number of horses entered, excellent sport is Confidently anticipated.— The Bazaar, for the benefit of the Ludlow Dispensary, will be held at Dinhaiii House, on Friday aud Saturday next, under the auspices of the Countess of Powis. The marriage of Francis Harries, Esq. to Miss Harriet Boycott, recorded in our last, has been the occasion of much rejoicing among the friends and tenantry of those ancient and respected families ; nor have the humble well- wishers upon and in the vicinity of the estates of both families been forgotten 011 the happy occasion.— In this town, also, on Thursday, tiie aged inmates of that excellent establishment, Milling- ton's Hospital, of which Thomas Harries, Esq. and Francis Blithe Harries, Esq. are Trustees, were treated with tea, & c. and spent the evening with hilarity.— Several discharges of cannon took place on the occasion ; and the requisites being at hand, the healths of the happy Pair and of the various branches of their honoured Families were drank with respectful enthusiasm. A most respectable party of Gentlemen dined together at the Talbot Inn, iu this town, on Friday last, iu celebration of the marriage of Sir Henry Edwardes, Bart, to Miss Hope; the excellent baud of Ihe Shropshire Militia, iu which corps Sir Henry was Captain, was in attendance; the fine peal of bells at St. Chad's were rung during the day ; and the evening was spent iu the utmost conviviality. ADMIRAL BF. NBOW.— It will, we doubt not, be gratifying to many of our readers, and indeed to our townsmen generally, to hear, that in addition to the many respectable individuals who have already subscribed towards the erection of a Memo- rial to this brave Salopian, our no less brave but more fortunate townsman,. Admiral Sir Edward Owen, K C. B. with that liberality aud honourable feeling of regard for the fame of others which has ever characterized the profession to which he be- longs, and in which, whilst rendering important services to his country, he has entwined wreaths of laurel for himself, has enclosed in a letter to Air. Parkes the handsome sum of twenty- five pounds, at the same time observing, that he thinks the Memorial cannot be more appropriately placed than in the church of the parish to which the Admiral belonged. We are most happy to learn there is a strong pro- bability that the Lords' Committee will report in favour of a duty on foreign wool. We have even heard that so convincing was the case of the agri- culturists, that only two members of the committee stood out against the proposition. Whatever may be the result of this inquiry, or of that relative to shipping, they both prove most clearly that the Duke of Wellington is at least determined all classes shall have fair play, instead of sacrificing some, as has been hitherto the case, unheard, to more clamorous and influential, although in reality less important interests. — Brighton Gazette. WALTES. HOUSE OF LORDS THURSDAY. PORTUGAL. fti reply to an inquiry froin Earl DARNLPY, the Ktirl of AHKRDKP* repealed that the British Govem- lui'Mt wholly disapproved of the conduct of Don Miguel; but that he had, in the exercise of the antkoiiiy of the Government deputed to him as Regent, instituted a blockade, which was effective aiui- as such this country was bound to respect it. The Corn Bill was read a third time and passed, though not without strenuous resistance on the part of several Peers, amongst whom the Earls of MAI. MES- nt'RYand STANHOPE were conspicuous. These Noble Lords were of opinion that the Bill would uot afford sufficient protection to the Agriculturist HOUSE OF COM MONS— FRIDA Y. The East Retford Bill again underwent discussion, and gave rise lo some warm and angry expressions between Mr. Tennyson and Mr. Peel. The '' occasion was the application of some very strong language b\ the former gentleman to the conduct of Ministers respecting the bill, which Mr. Peel conceited to allude personally to himself. An explanation, how ever, afterwards took place, and harmony was fully restored — Mr N. CAI. VKRT having moved the recom- mits! of the Bdl, Mr TENNVSON suggested an ad- journment of Ihe subject until the next session, and therefore proposed to defer the committee until that day three months. — Mr. PEFL opposed the amend- ment, on the ground that after the evidence given at the bar lie should be sorry to see East Retford restored to its original state; he therefore trusted that the House would take measures thai no writ should issue for the election of any members there.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL was of opinion that Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham were more fitted lo exercise, and stood more iu want of Ihe fianehise than any portion of a county could.— After considerable discussion, Mr. Tennyson's motion was lost by a division of 97 lo42. — Ou the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair Lord HOWICK moved au amendment, that the fran- chise should be transferred lo ihe county of York, and persisting in il,. a division took place— for the amend- ment 17, against it 95. The house then went into a committee.— Mr Alderman WOOD, iu the hope of gelling rid ofthe bill altogether, then moved that the chairman do leave the chair, which was, however, nega+ ived by a division of 89 to 19. — After some' further debate, Lord J RussEi. r moved a resolution to exclude Fast Retford from returning members, but leaving the transfer of the franchise to Birmingham, or to ilie hundred of Bassctlaw, open. This proposi- tion also was rejected by a division of 108 to 43.— Mr. TENNYSON, in addressing the Committee after the last division, characterised the conduct of Ministers on the subject as unfair, unjust, impolitic, and grossly unconstitutional ; they had made a pretext of the question lo serve a particular interest, in pursuance of what he believed to be a base and unprincipled com- pact.— Mr. PFBL warmly and ( tally denied the truth of these charges. The Hon. Member, he said, was misled by his feelings; his proposition had been rejected by the sense ofthe house fairly taken, and he attempted to compensate himself for the disappoint- ment by the use of language utterly unjustified by the conduct of those lie attacked.— Mr. TENNYSON admit ted that he was disappointed, but denied that he was Wilder the influence of irritation ; what he had stated were his deliberate sentiments— Mr. PFF. L in reply observed, that if his conduct individually, or as a minister, were charged with baseness, he should meet the charge wilh an indignant refutation, aud in terms as strong as those iu which it was couehed— Mr. STANLEY regietted the warmth of both speakers, and expressed a hope that Mr. Feel would explain what course he meant to pursue in any other case that might arise.— Mr. PKKL said, that his con duet in anv fwirtre case must be determined by its merits. He had nlreudy sufficiently explained the principles by which he should he guided. — Mr. TENNYSON having dis- claimed all personal imputation ou Mr. Peel, ihe latter good humourediy declared, that he had from that moment forgotten all that had passed between them. The Right Hon. Gent, afterwards lepeated, that iu any future case lie should he entirely guided by its par tic u! ar circumstances. ' Ihe resolutions were then agiced to, and the Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday.

R1UBDER. At our Assizes in July, 1827, Thomas EUson, aged 24, was indicted for having feloniously stolen a sheep, the property of James Bradbury, iu the parish of Drayton- in- Hales. The principal evi- dence on that occasion should have been the testimony of James Harrison, then about 21 years of age ; but previous to the Assizes he disappear- ed, and in consequence Ellson was acquitted.— It was generally believed at that time that Harrison had been murdered, and a reward was advertised for the discovery of the body; but no disclosure took place.— On Thursday last, Thomas Ellson was again apprehended, and committed to our gaol by Thomas Twemlow, Esq. charged with stealing two fowls, the property of William Jervis, of Prees. When he was apprehended on this charge, some conversation took place as to the disappearance' of Harrison, and Ellson stated he had been murdered' and buried in a field that he mentioned, and vyhic^ is now in the occupation of Mr. Hocknell, of Drayton. In consequence of Elisors information, a man named Joseph Pugh, and a woman named Ann Harris ( the mother of Ellson by a former husband), were apprehended, and a large portion of the field alluded to was dug- over without suc- cess. On Saturday, however, Pugh confessed to Mr. Holt, of Drayton ( who had him in custody), and subsequently to Mr. Twemlow, all the circum- stances of the murder, which implicated himself, the woman Harris, John Cox, sen. John Cox, jdn, and Robert Cox ; and on Sunday morning Pugh was taken to the field where he- had stated the corpse to have been placed ; he there, in the presence of Mr. Twemlow and many others, pointed out a certain spot as the place w here the body lay, and on digging there to the depth of about four feet, the toe of a quarter- boot appeared. Care was then taken to dig* round the body, the position of which was at length made apparent; and it would seem that the g- rave had originally been made about five feet deep, but too short, so that the head was pressed forward on the breast, and the right arm and shoulder iu an unnatural position. The body had not been stripped, and though the remains were of course greatly decom- posed, the waistcoat, trowsers, and quarter- boots were identified, and left no doulit that the corpse was that of the unfortunate Harrison. . On Monday morning last, at ten o'clock, an inquest was held before Joseph . Dicken, Esq. one of the coroners for this county, aud after sitting from that time until about six o'clock on Monday evening, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against John Cox the elder, aged 60, John Cox the younger, aged 3f>, and Robert Cox, aged 19, all of Oravton, Joseph Pugh, aged 19, of Little Drayton Common, and Ann Harris, aged 50, of Drayton; and these five were yesterday delivered into the custody of the Keeper of our County Gaol, for trial at the approaching Assizes. — The Coxes are father and sons.

On ih. e: 21st ult. ai his residence in Overton, in the $ 0th year of his age, Thomas Ellis, late of Knnltou, in ' the county of Flint, gentleman ; much respected by all who knew him, The Gentlemen of the Law who practise exclusively in the Courts of Great Sessions in Wales are liable to a stamp duty of £ 60 only on their articles, but if they wish to be admitted ( and without being so they cannot practise) in the Courts above, they are obliged to pay an additional sum of £ 120, together with a penalty of £ 5, making in the whole £ 185, which being considered a hardship, Mr. Jones, the representative for Carmarthen, upon application being made to him, promptly undertook, if necessary, to bring it before Parliament; but, previously thereto, thought it right to communicate with the Secretary of the Treasury, and after several interviews has written a letter to him, containing a summary ofthe proposed plan, of which the following is a copy :— " 39, Buiy- slreets 19/// dune, 1S28. " DEAR SIR,— I have received a letter from Mr. Price, who requested me to speak to you on the sub- ject of the duty payable by persons articled to attorneys and solicitors iu Wales. He has seen Mr. Sykes, who wishes me to send you a further account of what is deemed advisable in the matter. " The following plan, it is presumed, will be advantageous lo the revenue; lam sure it will much advance the respectability of gentlemen who may hereafter adopt the profession of the law, as solicitors or attorneys in Wales, will be highly acceptable lo all the respectable parts of that profession, and will nut operate its an ex post facto law. IT is as follows : — " All persons hereafter articled to attorneys or solicitors iu Wales to pay a stamp duty of £ 120, and lo be then admissible to practise iu the courts of law aud equity in England aud Wales. " All persons already admitted attorneys of ihe Welsh Courts to he admissible as attorneys of the Courts of England on payment of £ 60, with interest from the date ofthe articles, provided the. sum be paid within a limited time. " All persons now articled to attorneys aud soli- citors in Wales to pay an additional sum of £ 60, with interest from the date of the articles, within the limited lime, or to remain liable to the present duties. tk I am, dear Sir, jour's very truly, < 4 J.

About two mouths ago a respectably dressed woman, about 3.0 years of age, with dark hair, aud slightly marked with small- pox, and who wore a round black hat, came to res. de in the parish of Llanwddyn, Montgomeryshire, and about three weeks since removed into the adjoining parish of Pennant. Being- far advanced in pregnancy, the overseer of the latter parish asked her to go with him before the Magistrates to swear her settlement, aud she voluntarily went, but refused to tell them her name, place of abode, or place of settlement. The Magistrates therefore committed her to Mont- gomery gao', until she should answer such questions as would enable them to remove her to her parish. This is inserted in hopes that it may meet the eye of her friends, who no doubt will be able to prevail upon her to give the necessary information. now TO SAVE A SHILLING.

Morning Herald for a husband, a Gospel Minister of the Established Church. The lady describes herself as being young, well educated., arid possessed of an independence and a handsome person ! Tuesday, a new Corn Exchange in Mark Lane, was opened for the transaction of public business. The building is a handsome edifice, of the Grecian- Doric order, and is extremely light. The Finance Committee have come to a determina- tion, after a long discussion, and a division of 10 to 9, that the Sinking Fund, under the circumstance of there being; no surplus of revenue, is of no use, and should be abolished. . Upwards of a hundred shares (£ 100 each) have been taken in the King's College, and the donations already amount to nearly £ 30,000. The third report of the finance committee recom- mends that no pensions be granted to foreign ministers till after a stated number of years' actual service. That no pension to the amount of £ o00 be granted to any individual having private property to thrice that amount. That, no pension to the amount of £ 2,000 be granted to any individual having private property to double that amount. All persons in public offices to have deductions made from their salaries to form their superannuated fund. Five per cent, on such salaries as were reduced in 1822, and ten per cent, in addition on the surplus of such salaries as were not reduced in 1822. The pensions to widows are to be fixed on the principle pursued in the year 1822— they are to forfeit their pensions if they contract fresh marriages, or if they derive from any source an income double the amount of the pension. The report also refers to some of the ordnance estimates. On Wednesday, a dinner to celebrate the repeal of tlie Sacramental Test, was given at the Freemasons' Tavern. There were upwards of 400 individuals present from all parts of the country. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was in the chair, sup- ported on the right, by Lord Jalin Russell, and on the left by Lord Holland. We understand that it is designed by some of the leading Protestant noblemen and gentlemen throughout the kingdom to employ themselves in the course of the summer, iu organising Wellington clubs. No more efficient or inoffensive means of testifying the confidence so universally reposed iu an illustrious Premier can be conceived than such institutions, while they would furnish that mechanism for the expression of public opinion, the want of which, to the Protestant interest, has given a triumph to its enemies much more frequently than arty absence or relaxation of Protestuut zeal.-— Standard. The Roman Catholics of Ireland. It w ill perhaps be remembered, that an aggregate meeting- of the Catholics in Dublin, some time since, adopted a resolution to this purport:— That any Irish member of parliament giving his vote to a ministry tliat did not make the Catholic claims a cabinet question, is unworthy the confidence of the Irish people. A resolution, the insolence of which could not be exceeded, but which was classed among the follies of the Association, and thought no more of. Upon this resolution, however, the " agitators" have now proceeded to action. The county of Clare was represented by Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, who, upon his accepting place as President of the Board of Trade, of course vacated his scat. To accept office under the Duke of Wel- lington's administration appears, in the eyes of the " agitators," the grossest offence to their majesty, as fexpressed in the resolution alluded to above, and they accordingly have determined to oppose the re- election of the right honourable gentleman. At first, the " agitators" hoped to oppose the right honourable gentleman by supporting the pretentions of Major W. N. Macnanvara, a Protestant gentleman of fortunf* in the county; but, for some came or other, that gentleman has declined to come forward. The consequence of this disappointment has been. to give the affair a totady new, and, indeed, a very singular character. Mr. O'Comiell himself has step- ped forward, and offers himself to represent the county. The whole power of the Association, of course, is taxed to aid his pretensions ; and it is not by any means certain that, this principal agitator will not be successful. Such an event would be very remarkable. The law does not inhibit the return of a Roman Catholic representative. Mr. O'Connell would probably present himself in the House, and the refusal to admit him to take his scat ( it being presumed, of course, that, as a Roman Catholic, he would refuse to take the oaths), as a member of parliament, would remove to a new scene, and give a novel character to the turmoil, which it seems the main object of the " agitators" to foment. The first step taken by the " agitators" to carry their object, was the voting a sum of £ 5000 from the rent, to be applied to the purposes of the election in behalf of Mr. O'Connell;— a circumstance that ought to operate forcibly on the mind of every Protestant, as proving, beyond* the shadow of a doubt, that the Catholic Rent is, in reality, an illegal levy of money, to be applied in effecting the return to Par- liament of those innovators whose object is the de- struction of the Protestant Constitution. After the £ 5000 had been voted, a deputation, consisting of Mr. Lawless, Mr. Steele, and Mr. O'Gorman Ma lion, was despatched to " agitate" the county. These gentlemen set off on Saturday week, and, travelling all night, were able, on the Sunday, to over- run good part of the county, meeting the Catholic congregations in their chapels, and inflaming- them in the finest style. We have, in the Dublin Fost of Thursday last, a report of the " agitation" perpetrated at Ennis, the county town of Clare. The deputation harangued, at great length, from the altar of the chapel. If we may credit implicitly this report, Mr. O'Connell's cause is in a flourishing condition. The utmost en- thusiasm was exhibited by the assembled crowd, and all in his favour. A gentleman attempting to speak in behalf of Mr. Fitzgerald was hoofed to silence. The Romish priests to a man interest themselves warmly in favour of Mr. O'Connell. We need not repeat any of the language employed by the deputation : suffice it to say, it was in the highest degree inflammatory, and it appears to have founda ready sympathy from those who listened to it. The Dublin Papers of Thursday contain a short report of a meeting of the Association in Dublin, on Wednesday last. At this meeting a measure was pro- posed, and a resolution to the effect adopted, that a subscription be entered into to replace the sum voted from the Rent to the purposes of the election. This business ought to be a lesson, not only to the Protestants who oppose, but also to those who support, what is called Catholic Emancipation. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald hrs, for more than twenty years, invariably voted and argued in support of Catholic Emancipation ; but, because he has dared to join the present Administration, in opposition to the wishes of the Roman Catholic Priests, as expressed through their acknowledged organ ( the Association) he is to be opposed, abused, and ousted of liis public situ- ation : thus making it evident, that, unless those who have hitherto supported the views of the Emancipa- tors, are prepared to become the tools of the Romish Priesthood, they will assuredly be opposed by the power of that body which, armed with the terrors of a despotic creed, works in unseen paths, as well as by the influence of that not less available auxiliary, the accumulated Rent! To both the supporters and the opponents of Emancipation, it can now be no secret, that the Romish Church aims at the destruction of the Protestant Established Church : Mr. O'Connell has openly avowed this in his printed address to the . freeholders of the county of Clare: he says, he will, if returned, " vote for the diminution and more equal distribution of the overgrown wealth of the Estab- lished Church of Ireland." If, however, Protestants are true to their own interests, and to the cause of that Religion for which the Reformers died, the threats and declarations of Mr. O'Connell and his associates will become silly and empty trash; but if, on the contrary, Protestants now forgot their duty, and look with apathy, like dreaming idlers, on the events passing before them, upon their heads be the blame, as on those heads will assuredly fall the fatal, the irremediable consequences. The amount of the fax upon coals imported into Ireland last year was £ 55> 584. The Marquis of Sligo has disposed of the greatest portion of his West- India property, and invested the proceeds in immense tracts of land in New South Wales. A few days since, a gentleman dropped a bundle of bank notes in the turnpike- road near • Chippenham, Wilts. In a few hours afterwards, on missing Ihe notes, he went back, and to his great pleasure and surprise, found them where they were dropped ! The parcel had, been observed by several persons, who had passed it by as waste paper. We stated last, week that a number of the Treasury boroughs were in the bauds of the friends of Mr. Canning, who were returned when he was in office, and on whose votes the present government of course cannot depend. Their exact number is, we tuidev- stand, fifteen. If, therefore, the Duke of Wellington feels himself strong enough in the House of Commons, independently of these, votes, without having recourse to a dissolution, jt is . clear his administration must possess, in a degree almost unprecedented, the con- fidence of the country.— Brighton Cazeils. ANECIJOTE OF HIS MAJESIY GEORGE THE FOURTH.— On the death of the late organist to St. George's Chapel, Windsor, great interest was made by several Professors of eminence to succeed to that honourable and lucrative situation. Old Home, the music master, who taught the King and other Mem- bers of his august Family in their juvenile days, was at this time very low in his circumstances, arising from losses and other untoward events. The fact was mentioned to his Majesty by One of Ike Lords in Waiting, who at the same time ventured to add that the existing vacancy would enable the poor old man to weather the storms of life, and pass the remainder of his days in competency and ease. His Majestv expressed his astonishment, and- cotdd scarcely credit that his old tutor was still in existence, or thai, if so, he had not applied to his former pupil, stating" his embarrassments. Modest merit is always dumb — Borne " knew if he had made his case kuown, he should have been relieved-, but he dared not intrude his sufferings en his gracious master's attention." The fact, 1 however, of his situation being thus brought to his Majesty's notice, lie ordered his carriage, and proceeded immediately to canvass the Canons and other Dignitaries in whose gift the appointment lay: they had made their promises, but — it must be so—- the King's wishes were a law, and Home was no- minated to the vacancy. Wishing, however, to gratify the old man by himself announcing/ tile joyful tidings, his Majesty Commanded him to attend at the Royal Lodge. The summons was unexpected, was distressing: " how could he appear before the Pre- sence with a wardrobe not fit to visit a private friend ? But," continued the gratified veteran, " it is not the coat, it is the man the King wants to sec: I must, 1 will go :" and he took a change of linen, and pro- dded to Windsor. On his arrival at the Lodge, he was received with kindness by the major domo, and refreshments were placed before him, with an intima- tion that his attendance would be required in the course of the evening in the drawing- room. That time arrived, and the old man, on entering, was over- powered by the condescending affability vvilh which he was received. The King, surrounded by the brilliant circle of his private friends, rose from his seat, and taking poor Home by the hand, led him to the piano, requesting him to ' give once more a speci- men of that skill which had entranced his juvenile mind. This was too much— he sat down overpowered with contending emotions, and the modest tear trickled from his aged eye. He forgot every thing, ran his fingers over the keys in the most abstracted manner, and was any thing but himself. A few affectionate words revived him; and, as if inspired by the sudden recollection of days gone by, struck off a fantasia, which he performed with all the execu- tion of his best day.- The King' was delighted, and having only a slight recollection of the air, asked what it was. The old man could no longer contain his joy—" That air, your Majesty, was composed by mv pupil, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, when he was eighteen years of age." We need not say that the King was highly gratified : he had com- posed it in the early period of life, had entirely forgotten it, and, as the Professor said, he had also lost sight of it for upwards of forty years, when it suddenly flashed on liis memory, as a bright meteor suddenly enlightens the darkened sky... The dignity of the Monarch sank for a moment to the familiarity of the friend j he pressed the old man's hand, told him of his good fortune, and bade him retire and compose himself. He remained at the Lodge ten days, and was then conducted into the organ gallery. He is now between seventy and eighty, and performs his duty with all the enthusiasm of his early days. WONDERFUL PIECE OF MECHANISM.—( From the Exeter' Alfred.)— Among the curiosities of art to be seen in this city, or even in England, no one deserves more attention than that extraordinary piece of machinery, the property of Mr. Burt, which is to be seen at his Repository, Fore- street- hill. The following description of it may not be uninteresting, and we wonder the proprietor has not given it greater publicity than he has hitherto done: — It is a time- piece which strikes the hours, quarters, & c.— a perpetual almanack, which has an exclushe movement for the leap year, requiring to be regulated once only in one hundred years, and the principal wheel in which revolves but once in four years—- oh a plate, iii the centre of the face, is seen the Sun in his course through the Heavens, as he appears to us; the circle which he makes is beautifully described in the changes of the seasons, by the horizon receding or advancing as the days lengthen or shorten— under the above is seen the . Moon,- showing - her age and wane, as she appears to us in diiierent stages— ran organ . playing a variety of pieces, and the figures of which are brilliant beyond any thing of modern composition— a belfry, iu which are six figures ringing the changes on six beils ; a variety of other figures are also shewn, in motion, playing instruments, beating time, & e.—. the whole of which is contained in one splendid pile of cabinet work, ten feet high, five feet wide, and weighs upwards of half a ton. We cannot dwell longer on a description of this astonishing piece of human ingenuity, the work of an obscure individual, said to be a native of Exeter, nor will we attempt to giveau adequate idea of its merits, which can only be appreciated by looking on it, and a careful examination must enhance its value iu the estimation of the spectator beyond any effort of art that ever before came under his observation. GLUTTONY AND LONGEVITY OF THE PIKE.— The fresh water shark, as we take the liberty of calling the Pike ( Esox Lucius), is so extremely voracious, that it devours all sorts of fish, its own species not excepted. Notwithstanding this indiscri- minate gluttony, it will'live to an incredible age. Pliny mentions a pike which weighed no less than a thousand pounds. The oldest and largest pike on modern record, . was taken at Kayserslautern, in the Palatinate, in 1497. It was 19 feet long, and weighed 350 pounds. It was ascertained by a ring of gilt copper affixed to it, that it had been put into tiie water by the Emperor Barbarossa in the year 1230, proving it to be at least 267 years old. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AT KIRKALDY, FIFE- SIIIRE.— It has been accurately ascertained that the loss of lives, by the falling of the gallery in the Church of the above place, as mentioned in our last, was 28, and above 150 persons more or less suffered from the injuries they received on this truly melan- choly occasion ! But it is a remarkable circumstance, that few of those injuries are of a serious nature, and none of them threaten to prove fatal: there arc only two cases of fracture, ( the collar and thigh- bone,) both women, who are doing well. Dr. Kenuicott, soon after the commencement of his great work, the Hebrew Bible, was travelling to Oxford, in the common stage- coach. The con- versation happened to turn upou his erudite labours. One person inquired " what success they were likely to have ?" 4 Not much*, replied a second—' indeed, what can you expect from th.' son of a cobbler?' 44 I beg your pardon," observed Kennicott, mildly<- to the no small astonishment and confusion of the gentleman, " My father was always reckoned a good shoemaker — 1 never heard that he cobbled his work." One day last week, as the daughter of Mr. Taylor, spirit- merchant, Newark, was at school, she accidentally sat down ou some work, when a needle, which was in it, run the whole length into the fleshy part of her thigh. After repeated attempts to extricate it iu vain, as the flesh had closed oh it, aud it could not be seen, recourse was had to the loadstone, which drew it to the surface of the skin, and it was immediately taken out, to the joy of the little sufferer, who b uow doinj well.— Boston J Gazette. A meeting of the Shareholders in the English and Bristol Channel Ship Company was held ort Monday, at which it was resolved to dissolve the Company. SOLAR MICROSCOPE.— « fc? ery day that is un- clouded, Mr. Carpenter,* the optician^ in Regeat- street, exhibits objects through a solar microscope of an extraordinary power: his principal, lenses being made upon the late valuable improvement,- called the acromatic lens, whereby the prismatic rays are removed from the objects, and they appear i; their native colours, only with more intense' brilliancy. Such is the magnify, ing power of some of his glasses, , that the wing of a cock- roach w r ' presented between four and five feet in leng h.

But the most interesting and astonishing pa t of th 1 exhibition is the representation of i.. sects in different qualities of water-— the pure running stream, the stagnant, and water taken front a lead cistern. Here we are suddenly introduced to the, company of creatures of the most faatastic aud even hideous shapes, four, five, and six inches long, which,' to the naked eye, are totally invisible, and all in the most energetic and even violent action. Those are seen1 by means of a. lens of very high power, but the same liquid subjected to the optician's highest. magnifyer brings to view still smaller objects, which before appeared like minute and transparent specks. U.' these, that wonderful animalcule called the globe insect is one, which, from beiug wholly invisible to the naked eye, suddenly starts to our acquaintance, of the diameter of a ch eese- ph-. te. To a nervous and hypochondriac: pe son, the ocular proof of the myriads of horrid and deformed shapes lie must unavoidably incor- porate at every mouthful of water he . wallows; most he rather appalling": to the reflecting au I inquiring mind, - the exhibition is one of intense inlet est. EXTRAORDINARY AND REYOI. TIVG EXPERI- MENT.'— An experiment to ascertain the degree of heat it is possible for a man to bear was made a few days ago at the New Tivoli, at Paris, in the presence of a company of about, t wo hundred persons, amongst whom were many professors, silvan*, and physiologists, who had been especially invited to attend by ( he physician Robertson, director of this establishment. The man on whom this experiment wag made is a Spaniard of Andalusia, named Martinez, aged fortv- three years: a cylindrical oven, constructed in the shape of a dome, had been heated for four hours, bv a verv p iwcrful fire. At ten minutes past eight till: Spaniard, having on large pantaloons of red flannel, a thick cloak also of flannel, and a large felt, after the fashion of straw hals, went into the oven, where he remained, seated on a foot- stool, during fourk- i li minutes, exposed to a heat of from 45 to 50 degrees of a metallic thermometer, the gradation of which d. d not go higher than fifty. He sung a Spanish sorg while a fowl was roasted by liis side. At his coming out of the oven, the physicians found that his pulse beat one hundred and thirty- four pulsations a minute, though it was but seventy- two at his going in. The oven being heated anew for a second experiment, the Spaniard re- entered, and seated himself in the san e attitude, at three quarters past eight, ate the ton 1, and drank a bottle of wine to the health of tl e spectators. At coming out his pulse was 176, and tl e thermometer indicated a heat of 110 degrees of Reaumur. Finally, for the third and last experiment,' which almost immediately followed the second, I e was stretched on a plank, surrounded with lightid candles, and thus put into the oven, the mouth of which was closed this time. IT was there nearly fvc minutes, when all the spectators cried out, " Enough, enough !" and anxiously hastened to take him out. A noxious and suffocating vapour of tallow tilled the oven, and all the candles were extinguished and melted. The Spaniard, whose pulse was 200 at coming out of this gulf of heat, immediately threw himself into a cold bath, and in two or three mi. mtes was on his feet safe ari l sound. POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS. STR E I T RO K B EII1 ES. The Select Committee of the House of Commons on the police of the m tropolis, which has been so long engaged in inquiries of the greatest importance to the safety of the community, has at length closed its labours, so far as hearing evidence is concerned. The attention of the committee during its latter sittings was particularly drawn to the prevalence of street robberies, the great facility with which they are committed, and the inadequacy of the police as it at present exists to prevent or even to check these '! , predat ious. This species of robbery, it was stated by persons competent to give correct information on the subject, is more successfully carried on, aud the public suffer to a greater extent by it, than any other. The thieves who practise in this particular line, are remarkable for their attention to external appearances, and are always seen fashionably dressed. They go iu parties of from four to ten, walking with seeming carelessness* and at a lounging pace along the streets, in couples,: arm in arm, until a " chance'" ( as it is called) pre- sents itself, when the victim is surrounded in ii moment, and if he has property about him, its' instant transfer to the possession of the robbers is a perfect certainty, so dextrous are they in their operations, and so completely is the sufferer thrown off his guard by the appearance and manners of those. who plunder him. It was observed to the committee, that these fellows are loo cautious of their necks ever to resort to that degree of violeuce which would amount in law to the crime of high- way robbery, except it be in dense crowds, where they can act in any way with perfect impunity. These men are denominated in the slang phrase- ology swell btirz- man, and any thing less than a good watch, or a well- lined pocket- book, is perfectly beneath their notice There is one gang known a* 44 the over- the- wall people," or 44 B** tnob," to which the foregoing description was stated peculiarly to apply, and the members of it are well- known ( or ought to be) to every man in the police. They are to be seen at almost any hour of the day in the great public thoroughfares, and their chief place of rendezvous is a well- known flash house, in a street near Drury- lane, where they are iu and out twenty times a day. When a robbery has been perpetrated, the gang separate in an instant, and go by different routes to the house alluded to, where, doubtless, the division of the spoil takes place. This house is kept by the person alluded to as B. L. and it was mentioned as a l instructive fact, that prize- fights are not unfre- quently got up in this house. After a public meeting or spectacle of any kind, or a crowded night at the theatres, these men are to be seeu making towards their house of call, heated ami dirty, and with all the appearance of having been actively engaged in a crowd.. It was suggested that if these meu were looked for, stopped, and searched, 011 such occasions, there could be little doubt that property very recently stolen would sometimes be found upon them, and a conviction must almost necessarily follow. This, however, was very rarely done. Willi an efficient police, it would appear next to impossible that gangs of thieves, such as were described, couid exist for eight or ten years, during which period, at least, the same faces have been seen about the streets b* r those who have given iu formation upon the subject. Willi a better organized system of police, these meu might be so watched and so harassed, that to com- mit depredations to any serious extent would be a'tnost impossible, and there could be little doubt that by a clever, active, aud respectable body oi men, this species of annoyance could be so success- fully carried on as to render the calling of the thieves so irksome,, so hazardous, aud so little profitable, that they would abandon it altogether, or become desperate aud rush headlong into the fangs of the law. The thieves alluded to are very successful at the theatres on crowded nights, as the 14 robbery informations book" at our principal police- offices would amply prove. It was true, that some officers were in attendance at the theatres royal every night, but the show of prote tioa thus held out was worse than nothing. The officers selected were not remarkable either for experience or sagacity. On the contrary, they were chiefly young patrols, with a superannuated p u isli counta- ble or two to make up the number. There never was a crowded night ( it was stated) that the thiev s did not contrive with ease to elude the observation of the police and mix with the dense mass going in, and plunder with impunity. It is quite certain that the most serious attention of the committee will be given to this subj - ct, and that no pains will be spared in endeavouring to remedy so crying an evil .— Morning Paper. afe jwsacscseaayfcffijJ SALOPIAN JOURNAL* ANP COURIER OF WALES, /<" « » • //, e Sitlc/ iian Journal, fl what is Den'li ! iluii we « 1KMIIII fear His aw'ul name, or dread lo lieor ' I lie Sell's deep loll, or see ihe hier That rekls beside " nr feel ?

In consequence of his appointment as First Com- missioner of Woods and Forests, Lord Lowther has undergone the ceremony of re- election for the county of Westmorland.— On this occasion, in addressing the freeholders, his Lordship began by thanking his hon. friends, for the handsome terms in which they had been pleased to speak of his principles, and his per- sonal fitness to resume that office, of which he had already discharged the do ties so many years with pleasure to himself, and, he thought he might say, to the satisfaction, if not advantage, of his constituents. ( Cheery j He now again came before them, on account of having' accepted an office under the Crown— and he took that office with the more readi- ness, that he felt certain that he had nothing to fear from a new appeal to the discerning freeholders of Westmorland. ( Chars.) When he last appeared before them, he was not in office. Events had oc- curred, which had induced him to stand aloof. But change rapidly succeeded change ; the Duke of Wel- lington came into power, and His Majesty's Govern- ment once more trod in Ihe " ancient ways* 1 of the Constitution. As 1he Duke ( said the Nbbfc Lord) has my entire confidence, I freely gave him tiiy sup- port ; and 1 should not have thought myself justified, under the circumstances, had 1 refused to co'mply with the commands of my sovereign, to lend my aid to those counsels, which 1 felt to he conformable to the wants and wishes of the country.

On this ground it is that I aga; n appeal to you, and I do so, as I have stated, without the slightest fear of a successful result. ( Loud cheers.) ONE FOUND HOTES. A smair pamphlet has been. recently circulated, under the sanction of the Country Bankers1 Commit- tee, entitled " A Summary Statement of the One Pound Note Question." lis object is to shew that the Small Note Circulation originated with the Government, and not with Country Bankers ; and to explain the reasons that induced them to declare through their Committee, " that they were prepared " to let,' the law take its course without any inter- " lerence on their part, and that the issuing or not " issuing One Pound Notes was a question altogether " between his Majesty's Government and the Public." — The following are extracts :— " Previous to the year 1774 it was legal to issue small notes, and they were circulated in various parts of England, but more especially in the northern, counties, In the 15( IT Geo. XH, an Act, was passed " to restrain the negotiation of Promissory Notes and Inland Bills of Exchange for any sum less than 7\ cc? Uy Shillirgs. n In the 17th of the same reign was passed an act u for further restraining the nego- tiation of Promissory ' Notes and Inland Bills of Ex- change for any sum less than Five PoundsThese acts remained in force until the year J797. On the 26th of February of that year, by a minute of Council, the Bank of England was restricted from making Cash Payments. The causes which mads this important measure nccessary were examined into by a Committee of Secrecy appointed by the House of Lords, and were stated to be chiefly as follows:— Alarm of Invasion— Demands made upon the Bank from the Country— Loans to Foreign Powers— Importation of Grain — Export of Gold— Gold sent to Ireland— Exchanges against the Country— Advances to Government— Diminished Issue of Country Bank Paper. On the 10th of March, 1797, an act was passed ( 37 Geo. III. cap. 32) to suspend for a limited period the above- mentioned two acts, 15t. li and 17th Geo. III. and at the same time an act was passed for the Suspension of Cash Payments. In 1815, it was proposed to lay an extra duty on the stamps for £ 1 notes, and the Deputation of Bankers waited on the Ministers. The conferences which were held proceeded on the plain grounds that the circulation of one pound notes depended upon his Majesty Ministers for its continu- ance or discontinuance— that if it were thought expedient to continue them, the proposed duty was higher than the case would admit of, and would amount to a prohibition of them— and thai his Majesty's Government had already secured for the country, by means Of the stamp duty and licence, " a large proportion of any profit that might arise out of the circulation. Calculations, shewing the expenses and the profits attending an issue of one pound notes, were made out and presented to M r. Vansittart, by which it plainly appeared that this branch of country- banking trade was less a matter of profit to the country banker, than of " public convenience and necessity. In consequcnce of these statements. Mr. Vansittart consented to reduce the proposed increase of duty to one penny upon each note; but at the same time to do away the restriction as to time upon all re- issuable notes issued with the new stamp.* The licence was also increased to £ 30. The attention of Country Bankers was again called to the subject in 1818, by the introduction of a bill into Parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, requiring country bankers to make deposits in the public funds or other government securities, on account of their small- note circulation. What Mr. Pitt had consented to relinquish Mr. Vansittart attempted to enforce. A general meeting of country bankers was then held, and it was determined to represent to his Majesty's Ministers their reasons for objecting to give the proposed security. A confer- ence took place between Lord Liverpool and Mr. Vansittart, and a deputation of country bankers; during which it was stated that if the prolonged circulation of small notes was thought inexpedient, the true and constitutional remedy was a return to cash jpayments. In consequence of these represent- ations the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced to the House of Commons " the determination of his Majesty's Government to abandon the proposed bill." By the 55th Geo. III. c.- 6, one pound notes had been continued until March 25, 1816. By the 56th Geo. III. c. 21 ( 1816) one pound notes were allowed to circulate " until two years after the resumption of cash payments by the Bank of England." By the 3d Geo. IV. c. 70, the circulation of one pound notes was continued until the 5th- of January, 1833. The Bank of England haying resumed cash pay- ments, and one pound notes having become convert- ible into gold at the will of the holders, Country Bankers had reason to believe that the 5th January, 1833, would be the final period for their circulation; and relying on the good fur th of Parliament, and on the avowed intentions of his Majesty's Government, they made their arrangements accordingly. It is to be observed, that Ministers, in coming to their con- clusions, were not influenced by any representations of Country Bankers, for none such were made. f Such was the state of the law as it regarded one pound notes until the end of 1825. Country Bankers issued them in their respective districts as the trade of those districts required, keeping in mind the period of the 5th of January, 1833, when, according to Act of Parliament, they were to be no longer issued. But in February, 1826, his Majesty" Ministers announced it to be their intention to shorten tlie period for issuing one pound notes from 1833 to 1820. Country Bankers were in no manner consulted upon this alteration. No parliamentary enquiry was entered upon to ascertain whether the wants of the public would be interfered with, or the regular employment of the people would be interrupted by such a sudden alteration— or whether a supply of gold could be ensured equal to the amount of notes to be withdrawn in England and Wales. The period of 1829 being thus fixed upon by his Majesty's Ministers, those- Country Bankers who had not a sufficient quantity of stamps by them to kee up their issues until 1829, applied to the Stamp- office for the needful supply. But here an unexpected impediment was raised against their application. H Majesty's Ministers, by an official letter adtlres. se to the Commissioners of Stamps, forbade them issue any stamps for one pound notes to any Country Banker whatsoever; thus anticipating, on their own responsibility, the prohibition intended to be included i their Act of Parliament. By this proceeding, ountry Bankers were severally placed in different dative situations. Those Who had by them a suf- ficient stock of stamps were enabled to prepare to issue one pound notes until 1829— whilst those who had relied upon the law of the land as it previously stood, to procure, » s occasion might require, the needful supply of stamps, were disabled from making any further issues; at the same time the new Act of Parliament made it lawful for all Country Bankers indiscriminately to continue the issuing of one pound not'' s until 1829. The natural consequence of this " tampering with the Currency," and the harsh proceedings of his Majesty's Ministers, was to precipitate the payment of one pound notes, and indeed notes of all amounts. No care had been taken by his Majesty's Government, to ensure an adequate supply of gold to be given in exchange for the notes thus driven in upon their respective issuers. Country Bankers possessed of the most ample funds in Bank of England Notes, applied to the Bank of England for gold in exchange for them, and were informed that the Directors had not gold enough to take them up. The Bank Directors in- formed the London Bankers of their inability to pay all their notes in gold, and requested that Country Bankers might be prevailed upon to take small bank notes into the country, and not press them for gold. At,' this time the law required the Bank Directors, equally with Country Bankers, to pay all their notes in gold on demand. The Country Bankers exercised • thfife2 greatest forbearance towards the Bank of Eng- land, ami took their small notes instead of gold. At the time when, without inquiry, these material alterations respecting the one pound notes of Country Bankers in England and Wales was decided upon, an inquiry was entered into in regard to one pound notes issued by Bankers in Scot'and, and it was determined by Government not to bring tlsc* Scotch notes under the new limitations enacted for the English notes, and the former may be issued without limitation of period. By this anomaly, the issuing of owe pound notes will be prohibited in England and Wales after April, 1829 - whilst in Scotland, the same description of notes may be legally issued. It. will be seen by the foregoing Statement, that the first issuing of one pound notes, in 1797, was a mea- sure of the Government: That Country Bankers have been only the agents for issuing such notes, according to the views which his Majesty's Ministers entertained of the wants and convenience of the British public : That whatever profit might have arisen from the circulation of small notes in t ianquil times, the public have pa rtaken of a large proportion of that profit by the heavy stamp duties which have been attached to them : That the expediency or inexpe- diency of continuing this kind of circulating medium is a subject of inquiry altogether resting, as it hitherto has rested, between his - Majesty's Government and the public.?'. CONSTANTINOPLE. [ From Walsh's Journey from Con $ t an t in op Ic.] This city is built on a triangular promontory, projecting into the sea of Marmora; two sides are washed by the sea, and the third is that which con- nects the triangle with the main land, and may be called its base. These sides were all well fortified with walls which still remain, though in several places so dilapidated as to be incapable of any defence, without great reparation.— The whole cir- cuit is estimated at more than twelve miles; the side washed by the harbour, three; that washed by the sea of Marmora, four; and the base ( i. e. the wall and fortifications) five miles; extending from sea to sea, and terminating in the Seven lowers. Wre now arrived at the Top Kapousi, or Gate of the Cannon, which was the gate where Mahomet entered the devoted city. It is called Top Kapousi, because the Turks have set over it some large globes of granite, such as they use for balls in their immense pieces of ordnance; and they have placed them here to commemorate the spot at which they entered and took possession of this capital of the Christian world . At some distance, in front of this gate, is an artificial mound, called Maltepe, which commands a magni- ficent view of the city, the sea of Marmora, and the country for a great extent all round it. Here it was that Mahomet displayed the standard of his prophet, and directed the attack on this side. The name of Constantine occurs more frequently than that of any other in the history of the lower empire; it was bOrne by fourteen Emperors; but they were all marked by imbecility, except the first and the last— he who founded the empire, and he in whom it terminated. The details given of this termination, and of the character and conduct of him who endea- voured to avert or delay it, are particularly affecting; and his devotion of himself to the cause of his country when it could no longer be preserved, anu seeking death in the midst of his enemies, are worthy of the best ages of Greece or Rome. The breaches which remain in the wall for a considerable extent near this Top Kapousi gate, and which the Turks have never since repaired, attest the vigorous resistance made, and the utter hopelessness of any further effort to stop the torrent of barbarians that poured in through them.— The body of Constantino as found in one of them, where he had placed himself as the last but ineffectual barrier; and a magnificent tree is now growing out of it, to mark, as " iarke says, a the sacred spot where the last of the Palaiologi fell." * * * As this is the side on hich the Russians threaten to approach Constanti- nople, it is highly probable that this is the gate by hich they will enter; and the very same passage wars, which were a constant drain on the Janissaries i of the capital; and the silent operation of the plague, which is continually active, though not always alarming; it will be considered no exaggeration to say, that, within the period mentioned, from 300,000 to 400,000 persons have been prematurely swept away in one city of Europe, by causes which were not operating in any other— conflagration, pestilence, and civil commotion. Tbe Turks, though naturally of a robust and vigorous constitution, addict them- selves to such habits as are very unfavourable. to population ; their sedentary life, polygamy, immo- derate use of opium, coffee, and tobacco, and other indulgences still more hostile to the extension of the species, so impede the usual increase of families, that the births do little more than compensate the ordinary deaths, and cannot supply the waste of casualties. The surrounding country is, therefore, constantly drained to supply this waste in the capital, which, nevertheless, exhibits districts nearly depopulated. If we suppose that these causes operate more or less in every part of the Turkish empire, it will not be too much to say, that there is more of human life wasted, and less supplied, than in any other country. It is thus that the gifts of bountiful nature are thrown away upon this people. It is in vain that God has issued his great law—' Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,' and has conferred on them every means of fulfilling it— comely persons, robust consti- tutions, mild climate, fertile soil, and beautiful country— when their own perverse propensities and antisocial habits counteract the blessings of a good EXTENT OF THE TURKISH EMPIRE.— Turkey in Europe, with Greece, 23,692 square leagues; Turkey in Asia, with the Islands, 58,750; and the African Domains, 36,297— Total, 118,739 square leagues. — This extent of surface is Unequalled among the European powers, except by Russia, whieh covers, in three continents, 210,000 square leagues. Even taking away the Barbarian States, Egypt, Greece, the Cyclades, Moldavia, and Wallachia, the extent of the Ottoman empire would be one- half greater than that of the Austrian monarchy; double that of the Germanic confederation ; quadruple that of Prussia ; and twice and a half the extent of France. Two MEN KILLED BY LIGHTNING— On Sunday lastj about ten o'clock, a number of persons of the labouring class had assembled in the churchyard at Ongar, and were leaning upon the fence by which it is enclosed, waiting for the commencement of divine service: at this time a storm of lightuing, accompanied by thunder, was passing over them. A man, named Turner, with a presentiment of clanger, observed, that he thought some accident would happen, when, at the instant that he spoke, a flash of lightning burst upon them, and a ball of fire, described to be in appearance no larger than a walnut, accompanied the explosion, when William Mead, aged 17, and John Lucas, aged 21, were at the same moment observed to fall. The former was found to be entirely bereft of life; Lucas was slightly convulsed, and moved his mouth aud arms, but in a few seconds he also ceased to breathe. So awful a speetae'e it is difficult to describe. Mr. Providence.

The Second Report of the Finance Committee, just issued, is chiefly confined to the Ordnance Depart- ment, in which it is stated that the Duke of Welling- ton, during his superintendance ( about 4 years) effected a saving of £ 2,000,000. The Committee of Privileges of the House of l ords unanimously resolved on Wednesday, " that Michael James Robert Dillon had made good his title to the Earldom of Roscommon." The Portuguese merchants, who, some time back, voted the execution of a medal in commemoration of Don Miguel's, return to Portugal, as the friend of the Constitution, met on Tuesday, and passed resolutions that the medals struck shall be melted, and the die broken. A further resolution was passed for ap- I propriating the funds raised for this purpose to the that admitted the Crescent will again admit the Cross. "##### One of the most formidable obstacles which the Russians will have to encounter in their advance into the Turkish territories, is that natural barrier formed by the Balkan mountains. Over this great rampart there are five practicable passes; one from Sophia to Tartar Bazargic ; two from Ternova, by Keisanlik and Selymnia; and two from Shumla, by Carnabat and Haidhos. The three first lead to Adrianople, the two last directly to Constantinople. Of these, the roads by Ternova are the most difficult, as they pass over the highest and most inaccessible hills of the • ham; that, by the Haidhos is the most frequented, the chasm in the face of the mountain affording a greater facility of ascent than elsewhere. Any of the passes, however, do not appear to be impracticable for Turkish Spahis. These are a kind of feudal cavalry, possessing hereditary lands, on the tenure of appearing in the field when called on. If they have no male children, the lands devolve to the com- mander, who assigns them to others on the same terms, and so the corps is kept up. It consists of sixteen legions, who are, perhaps, the best mountain horsemen in the world, though nothing can seem more unfavourable to their firm seat and rapid evolutions than their whole equipment. Their sad- dles are heavy masses of wood, like pack saddles, peaked before and behind, and are the most awkward and uneasy in the way they use them. Their stirrups are very short, and their stirrup- irons very cumbrous, resembling the blade of a fire- shovel, the handle of which they use to goad on the horse, as they have no spurs; this heavy apparatus is not secured on the horse by regular girths, but tied with thongs of leather, which are continually breaking and out of order. On this awkward and insecure seat the Turk sits, with his knees approaching to his chin, yet I never saw more bold and dexterous horsemen, iu the most difficult and dangerous places. When formed into cavalry, they observe little order; yet. they act together with surprising regularity and effect; but. it is in broken ground and mountain passes they are most serviceable, where the surface seems impracti- cable for European horsemen. They drive at full speed through ravines and mountain torrents, and up and down steep acclivities, and suddenly appear on the flanks or in the rear of their enemies, after passing rapidly through places where it was supposed impos- sible that horsemen could move. Some of t eir troops are called, for their headlong ami reckless impetuosity, delhis, or madmen; and the desperate enterprises they undertake justify the name. Such cavalry, in the passes of the Balkan, must oppose a formidable resistance to the most effective and best disciplined troops; and, no doubt, the Russians, if they ever attempt this barrier, will find it so. Ano- ther obstacle will be afforded by the season of the year. The only time for operation is the spring; the country is then exceedingly beautiful and healthful, the rivers are full of sweet water, the grass and fodder abundant; and the air elastic and salubrious ; but. as the summer advances, the rivers dry up, vegetables disappear, and nothing is presented but an arid, burning soil, intolerable from the glare of the sun by day, and dangerous from the cold and damp of the heavy dews by night; and the morbid effects of these every army has experienced, campaigning in those countries at that season, both in ancient and modern times. To pass this chain in w inter w ith an army, seems a still more hopeless attempt: the mo- rasses saturated with rain, incapable of supporting the heavy burden of waggons or artillery ; the ravines filled with snow or mountain torrents, and passed over by tottering bridges of wood, so rotten as to break with the smallest pressure; the numerous defiles, which a few can defend against a multitudi affording so many natural fortresses, behind which the Turks fight with such energy and effect; the scattered villages, which can afford neither ^ belter nor surprise; all these present obstacles, of which the Russians themselves seem very conscious. In their last campaign they were in possession of the whole of the country, from the Balkan to the Danube, with the exception of Varna, Nyssa, and Shumla, in which the Turks were shut up; and they had nearly one hundred thousand men in the plain below, completely equipped, and were at the very base of the mountain and the entrance of the passes; yet they never at- tempted to ascend, with the exception of a few straggling Cossacks, who made a dash across the ridge, and turned as speedily back again. The Turks seem to have no apprehension of an approach to the capital on this side; relying on the natural strength of this chain of mountains, they have not fortified any of the passes. Their great apprehension is, that the invasion will be made bv sea; and in this persuasion, not only the Dardanelles, but the Bos-- phorus, resembles one continued fortress, from the Sea of Marmora to the Black Sea. use of the hospital at Oporto ; thus expressing their respect and attachment for the place in which consti- tutional principles were first re averted. The population of Great Britain, from data afforded by the three decennial enumerations of 1801, 1811, and 1821, may be safely taken to have in- creased at the rate of 200,000 in each year from 1815 to 1827, or, in the period since the peace, to 2,400,000. — Jacob's Corn Ueport.

The Count Demidoff, who died lately at Florence, left to his two sons an income of £ 240,000 a year, besides one million sterling in moveable property. A troop of comedians, which he had engaged from Paris, is amply provided for by the Count's testament: the legacies comprise ten, which are extremely large ; and so great was his magnificence, that the great grandson of a friend of his childhood, whom he had not seen or corresponded with for 50 years, has been bequeathed 300,000 francs, merely to evince that the testator had not forgotten his earlier attachments. The Countess of Demidoff died some years ago in Paris. The tomb erected to her memory by the late Count her husband, in the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, is said to have cost 300,000 francs. ENORMOUS PIKE.— One of these fish was taken out of the Mere, at Combermere Abbey, on the 16th ult. Its weight was twenty- seven pounds, and it measured three feet eight inches in length. On being opened fifteen other fish of various sizes were taken out. It formed a noble dish at. the anniversary dinner of the Stockport Loyal Wellington Club.

THE TRICKS OF LONDON !— A lad named [ Yloiitk, and several others scorched.— Essex Herald. About eight ye ars ago, Mr. Keen, a distinguished horticulturist, who resides iu the vicinity of London, raised a very superior strawberry, now kuown by the name of " Keen's seedling." Besides bein fair beare r, early, and well . flavoured, it is fully double the size of the general favourite-, the scarlet. It soon got into such high estimation, that, iu 1823, the plants sold readily at a guinea each. By 1825 they were sold in this town at 50s. a hundred. The horticulturists in this quarter are pushing hard after their brethren in the south, aud less or more of this admired strawberry is to be found, in the possession of every spirited gardener. Those who are partial to strawberries will be gratified to learn, that there is a fair prospect that they will this season be Very abundant.

IRISH VAGRANTS.— The system of imposition practised by the itinerant Irish labourers, who come over here every summer to get in the English harvest, has been disclosed to a Committee of the House of Commons, and is of a very curious nature. We understand that one man, governing a gang of twenty or thirty, brings them over here and leads them through the country, he making bargains for work with the farmers and receiving the wages. He advances money on account as they go on, and when the harvest is over, most of them, return to their native country through the medium of parochial passes here, although they have several guineas secure in the waistbands of their breeches* and in other parts of their dress.— Devizes Gazette.

That inordinate desire to pussi ss gold which had been apprehended, was not found to exist, and' ouper i'n many, in most instances, seemed to be pre- ferred." The circumstance most striking to a traveller oassing through Turkey, is its depopulation. Ruins where villages had been built, and fallows where land had been cultivated, are frequently seen with no living things near them. This effect is not so visible in larger towns, though the cause is known to operate there 111 a still greater degree. Within the last 20 years, Constantinople has lost more than half its population. In eighteen months, three sanguinary revolutions took place, which elestroyed two Sultans, and about 30,000 of the inhabitants. These were followed by the plague in 1812, which swept away, it is generally said, from 200,000 to 300,000 more. It was known, that at one time, a thousand persons a e'ay were brought out of the Top Kapousi gate to be buried ; and the gardener of the English palace told me, he was the only survivor of a family of 13 persons ; he'was seized with delirium and stupor, and when he recovered, he found himself in the house with 12 dead bodies. In 1821 the Greek insurrec- tion broke out. The population of the Fanal, and other places, consisted of about 40,000 Greeks; by death and flight they are now reduced to half the number. In 1827 the Janissaries were extinguished, and the contests on this occasion carried off", it is supposed, on both sides, about 30,000 persons. If to these casualties be adeled the frequent conflagrations, two of which occurred while 1 was at Constantinople, and destroyed 15,000 houses ; the Russian and Greek lodger, running short, of cash, and wishing to leave his lodgings unpaid, hit upon the following expedient of allaying the suspicions of his landlord. He expressed his intention to leave town for a fortnight, at the enel of which time he should return, saying that he had left his trunk in his room, anel hoped the landlord would not re- let the rooms before his return. Some time elapsed before the landlord's anxiety and curiosity were sufficiently excited; when one day he thought he w ould see the contents e> f the trunk at any rate, as the gentleman had not returned. Several attempts were made by different persons to lift the trunk, but without effect; they could not raise it from the floor. A carpenter was sent for, and the lock broke open, when, behold ! the trunk was entirely empty, and screwed down to the floor! to the no small astonish- ment of the disappointed landlord.

[ FROM THE LONDON MEDICAL GAZETTE.] In Our preceding number Will be found an interest ing case of diseased ankle, by Mr; Copland Hutchison, in the course of which he alludes to one in some respects analogous, which was published a short time ago by Mr. Rose. On turning lo the latter we find that a young lady, in one of her lessons under the tuition of a distinguished professor, " had been made to rest the weight of her body repeatedly, and for several seconds at a time, first on the ball of one foot, and then the other, and to stand in various positions, with a view of bringing the different muscles into action." Although no particular complaint was made at the time, yet the exertions required during these lessons were considerable, anel produced stiffness, aching, and fatigue of the parts employed, par ticularly of the right ankle. These symptoms be- came so severe within a day or two after one of her usual performances, that surgical advice was deemed necessary, and she was brought to Mr. Rose on the 4th of March. The most, active and judicious re- medies were employed ; notwithstanding which, how- ever, the symptoms continued to advance, and in two days tumefaction had extended to the knee, with shining redness of the inner ankle, reaching some way up the leg, in the course of the tibia. On the 8th, suppuration having evidently taken place to some extent, a free opening was made a little above the inner ankle, and several ounces, of pus evacuated. The source of the mischief, became apparent, as the epiphysis at the lower end of the tibia, forming the inner ankle, was found completely detached from the shaft of the bone; and it is probable, either that ii was suddenly separated during the last gymnastic les- son, or else that such injury had been done to the uniting ligaments and cartilage as to lead to this as a subsequent effect. The unfortunate young lady lingered till the 3d of April, when she died exhausted. We look upon these cases as of importance at the present moment, when the use of various kinds of exercise, under new and learned names, has been introduced into our schools with a zeal which, in the hands of the unskilful, may, and we fear frequently does, give rise to serious mischief. Undoubtedly j some sacrifice may well be made to rescue girls from the thraldom e » f back- boards, collars, and inclined planes, which, though adopted as preventive means, have, from their indiscriminate application, caused more bad figures and positive deformities than they have ever remedied. But extremes meet, and exertions which consist in the adoption of constrained and continued positions, instead of the moderate and varied exercise of natural and easy movements, so far from aiding the full developement of the muscular powers, tend to strain and weaken, if not actually to break asunder, the parts they are intended to strengthen. We have not heard of any other example besides the melancholy one of which we have given a sketch, where consequences actually fatal have occurred, but we have known very severe sprains produced by ill- directed muscular exertions, under the immediate guidance of the persons employed to teach gymnastics public schools. All rational gymnastics must At eight o'clock p. m. on Saturday week, we were visited by a tremendous thunder storm, accompanieet with rain, which continued almost without intermission until after midnight. It commenced in the north- west, and afterwards changed to the south- east, which part of the heavens, at about ten p. m. bore an aspect unusually grand, being apparently in a continual blaze. During its continuance, the Marquis de Pal- mella and suite, on their way to Falmouth, to join the Portuguese refugees about to proceed to Oporto, were proceeding in a coach with four horses, fromf Bodmin to Truro ; the horses took fright at the lightning, and plunged off the road fhto one of those dangerous excavations occasioned by streaming for tin, and in which the carriage was overturned. The near leader was killed on the spot, and two of the other horses were severely injured; happily, the marquis and suite, with the drivers, escaped without injury.— Devonport Telegraph.

DISTANCE AT - WHICH SOUNDS MAY BE HEARD !! \ I recollect being, many years ago, at the west end of Dumfermline, and hearing part of a sermon, then delivering at a tent at Cairning- hill. I did not miss a word, although the distance must be something about TWO MILES. It was the late Dr. Black, of Dum- fermline, who preached, and who perhaps, has seldom been surpassed for distinct speaking and a clear voice. The sound was such as I should have expected iu favourable circumstances, at a quarter of a mile's distance. The wind, which was steaely, but moderate, came in the direction of the sound. I was riding westward, and at length saw the Doctor finishing his sermon, otherwise 1 should have doubted whether he had been at such a distance. Whether the sound had ran along the road, as in a tube, I cannot say. I recollect little of what sort of road it is ; part, I think, has pretty good dykes, which might guide and con- tinue the sound.— Jamiesorts Journal. In the House of Commons, 011 Tuesday, Mr. Wilmot Florton moved a resolution, pledging the House, in the course of the next Session, to take into con- sideration the propriety of promoting emigration on an extended scale, with a view to the relief of pauper- ism in Ireland, and to relieve this country from the emigration of Irish Paupers.— After a good deal of discussion, Mr. Horton, at the suggestion of Mr. Peel, withdrew his motion.— Sir John Newport's annual motion for an enquiry into the state of the Church in Ireland was negatived as usual.— The Sale of Game Bill was discussed, and appears likely to be passed in the same shape in which it came from tlie Lords. COMPLETION OF THE RAILWAY TUNNEL.'— The final communication between the shafts of the Rail- way Tunnel has been effected; and there is- now an uninterrupted passage from the intended depdt near Wapping, to the deep cutting at Edge- Hill. This magnificent work is about 2200 yards in length, 22 feet wide, and 16 feet high ; it is almost entirely cut through the solid rock, but which, in several instances, is so shattered and broken and occurs in such thin beds, or layers, as to render it necessary to insert an aich of brickwork for the security of the roof. Nu- merous droppings of water, which issued through the pores of the rock, have been successfully stopped by the application of Roman cement. Looking at the extent and magnitude of this unelertaking, with all the difficulties inseparable from such a work, and consielering that it is little more than eighteen months since it was commenced, ( during which time not less than 160,000 tons of stone have been removed from beneath the surface, and made subservient to the purposes of improvement above,) we cannot but be astonished at the rapidity of the operations which have effected it. We understand that preparations are making for lighting it with gas, and when this is elone, the public will be admitted to a sight of it. It is expected that there will be a sufficient current of air from the bottom to the top, to answer all the purposes of ventilation.— Liverpool Advertiser. The twelve Judges sat on Tuesday at Serjeant's Inn, to hear arguments in cases in which points were reserved for their opinion. The first called was that of Howarth, the Frome Burglnr.-^- Mv. Earle, who appeared for the prisoner, briefly narrated the facts of the case. The prisoner had been found guilty at the last Somersetshire Assizes, under Lord Elleuborough's Act, for cutting with a sword a Mr. Oxley. The point raised at the trial, and which now came 011 to be argued, was, whether the appre- hension of the prisoner was legal. These were the circumstances:— Ho. warth was seen, ou the night stated in the indictment, in an out- house belonging to Mr. Oxley, and the person who saw him being afraid to apprehend hiin alone, went away for assist- ance. Howarth also left the premises, and went into an adjacent field, where he hid himself beneath a tree. Mr. Oxley and others returned in search of him, and found him in the field. They attempted to apprehend him; but he resisted, and attacked Mr. Oxley with a drawn sword, and inflicted on him several wounds, afterwards effecting his escape. An objection was raised at the trial by the prisoner's couusel, that as the prisoner could only be appre- hended at all under the 5th Geo. IV. ( the vagrant act) for having been found 011 the premises with intent to rob, and his resistance to which appre- hension, wounding the arrester as he had done, constituted- the felony within the meaning of Lord Ellenborough's Act, when he had left the out- house the power to arrest ceased toauy but persons armed with a justice's warrant for the purpose. This ob- jection had been reserved for argument before the twelve judges, and now came on for that purpose. The learned counsel cited several eases in support of the objection, and argued at considerable length; but the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Justice Bayley, and several other of the judges, ex- pressed their opinion that the situation in which the prisoner was found at the time of his appreheusiem afforded ample proof of his felonious intention^ and that therefore the attempt to apprehend hith was legal. — Mr. Jeremy was heard at considerable. length in support of the conviction.—' Their lordships re- mained some time in consultation, and on the- re- admission of counsel, it was understood that they had decided against the objection. The law will therefore be suffered to take its course on the pri- soner. BERLIN, JUNE 17— On the 15th, in the evening, we received here the melancholy intelligence of the death of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Saxo Weimir, near Torgau, on his return to his own elominions. His Royal Highness was in gooff health, reviewing the royal stud, and speaking of his journey the following day, when he was suddenly seized with an apoplectic fit, which carried him off on the spot.— Hamburg Pap r. at Consist in natural movements performed with gra- dually increased power, and alternated with rest in postures which give relief and are unattended with exertion. These remarks apply particularly to the more active exercises now generally adopted at boysT schools. In the various feats of climbing a rope ladder, or raising up the body over a bar, the muscles are brought into a state of the greatest exertion which the individual can make by any voluntary effort. In a great school in this metropolis a boy broke his arm some time ago, and several cases of hernia have occurred during these violent exertions. In ordinary cases, we believe that the common games resorted to by boys are quite sufficient for the purpose of health, anel all the developement of the muscular system which is consistent with general strength and grace. In individual instances, the vigour of particular parts may require to be strengthened at the expense of others; but all those violent exertions which have been so much practised of late, we believe to be founded on principles theoretically incorrect, and practically injurious.
