Oil DEATH OF LORD FORESTIDS., [ From the Spirting Magazine - should be unmindfiil of our duty, if ire were pass over, unnoticed, the mncli lamented death of celebrated sportsman Lord Forester, whose IOIKJ successful career in Leicestershire, was rapturously dwelt upon by NIMHOD in his description of that country. In a letter from him by this post, he thus ks of this departed Nobleman Were I to say his Lordship was pre- eminent as a sportsman, perhaps I might somewhat exceed the bounds of strict veracity; but I hesitate not in rfint;', that in his knowledge of the points, action, capabilities of the English hunter, and in his skill the art of riding to bounds, he has never bee. ij • passed in any day. That debilitating disease, the ., nut, however, had for the last five years driven him from the field, where his presence never failed to- give additional life to that already exhilarating scene. " I need hardly observe that Lord Forester married sister of the Puke of Rutland, by whom he had eleven children; and is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son, who has already been noticed in your pages as having, during his residence at Christ Church College, Oxford, distinguished himsidf as a first- rate rider, for his early years, in Sir Thomas Mostyn's, the Duke of Beaufort's, ar. d tiie Duke of Grafton's hunts. " Lord Forester was nephew to a gentleman whose ame and character will never be forgotten in th:: porting World. I allude to the late ' Mr. Forester, f Willey Park, near Wenlock, Shropshire, which country he hunted for several successive years. Possessing a constitution on which neither time, nor the jovial accompaniments to the fox- hunting of his day, appeared to make but slight impressions, lur ' ived to a greatly advanced age, aud retained to his ust year a more than ordinary attachment to the pleasures and pastimes of his younger days. Tn shor', he was no unjust epitome of the country Squire of sixty years back, who scorned to travel from home for his worldly enjoyments, and who had a sovereign contempt for, what he considered, the uncalled- for refinement of modern days. At his decease he left yilley Park, and all his fine estates,. to the late Lord Forester, bis eldest nephew, who built, nearly on the scite of the old house, one of the most splendid and at the same time most convenient mansions that this country can boast of. " It is- scarcely necessary to observe that this much regretted Nobleman stood in the first, rank of II , present Majesty's personal friends; and the almost unprecedented respect paid to his remains, on their departure for the family vault, evinced, better than language can express, the estimation in which his character was held.''

Most excellent Medicine for Bile, In- digestion, Pains, Giddiness of the Head, Piles, Dropsical Complaints,. and are in a considerable degree a preventative of various other diseases. Their com- position is truly excellent, as they do not contain any Antinioniai or Mercurial preparation whatever, and therefore when taken do not require the least confine- ment or alteration of diet ( moderate exercise promotes their good effects), they seldom operate until ten or twelve hours after taken, ami then very gently ; they destroy worms, purify the humours, and evacuate all foul corruptions to which the Intestines are so liable, whereby so many diseases are produced ; never gripe unless the inside be very foul, and then but litlle, hy removing obstructions they cause the food to pass to its respective parts ; becoming a good restorative and. pre- servative of health to both sexes, aud to those of a costive habit a truly valuable treasure. Also SNOOK'S PECTORAL or COUGH PILLS, for Coughs", Colds, Asthmas, and Shortness of Breath.

On Wednesday the Roman Catholics had an oppor- tunity of ascertaining how little sympathy is felt here for the agitators in Clare. A Special Meeting was held, at the City of London Tavern, to promote " the success of the principle of representation to he acted upon in the county of Clare;" and the event must, satisfy them, that with whatever industry the hum- hug is pushed, it never will take in tliis country. The farce, as acted, cannot fail to amuse every one. Something, however, more useful mav be picked up behind the scenes; and we w ill, therefore, make our notice of the meeting complete, by giving the secret history of its rise, progress, and catastrophe. About half past twelve on Wednesday, Lord Ross- more and the other members of the Committee ap- pointed to get up and manage the affair were sittiug: in a private room at the Crown and Anchor, quite unconscious of the impending peril, when, who should walk in, without rapping, but Mr. Orator Hunt! It" the father of mischief himself had made his appear- ance ill all his personal attributes, he could not have alarmed. them more than did Mr. Hunt in his ominous white hat. There was a row in his eye, a riot ill his very smile. There was, however, no other choice but to be kind and coaxing, and try whether they could gag him with a little blarney. Mr. Hnn't requested to see their resolutions. Certainly,— and the resolutions were delivered up with the same pain- ful civility, that one would deliver up his purse to an uncompromising cut- throat. It was the bold charge of " stand ami deliver," on one side— and the egre- gious fib of « you're particularly welcome," on the oilier. Mr. Hunt read the resolutions, and appeared pleased, " He heartily approved of them all; 1MIT—' The Committee wanted not a word more • that villainous monosyllabic told them that , all was lost— that Mr. Hunt would irretrievably sihk their list of resolutions in the opinion of the country, by tying one of his own about its neck ; and that help there was none. Mr. Hunt's resolution was, of course, lo the effect lhat the contest in Clare, on the part of O'Couiieli was a contest for Radical Reform; and that, therefor', ihe public support was requested. The Committee! had too much sense to think of requesting support here on any such grounds; and the great point'will, them was, if possible, to keep Hunt quiet. One idea only occurred, to them, and that was to bribe him to silence, by admitting him into their con fide ice. He was immediately seized by the button, and begged and beseeched not to spoil the concern. " We, 7ny dear Sir, think as you do. Our opinions and our objects are precisely the same. Radical Reform is of course THE Ihing, and THAT we will have; but— dont you see ?— it wont do here— it. wont do now ; the public must not know that we arc Radicals— at least not at present:' Mr. Hunt smiled at the hint, and they thought all was right. They mistook" tile man. When the meeting took place, Hunt not only pushed his resolution, and carried it; but threw in the teeth of the Committee the silly admission tliey had made to him in private. We leave Lord Rossmore to settle with Mr. Hunt about his fair dealing with the Committee; and call upon them to account for their own fair dealings with the public m this matter. Thev wear, torsoolh different principles at different timet— one a decent cloak for public appearance; the other a stronger and coarser article, in which they will only see friends in private, until decency in public can be dispensed with. The reception they met with on Wednesday will, 111 all probability, convince them, that their best plan is— to go home ; if not, we can assure them that after this exposure of their duplicity, they will find their further stay very unpleasant in the way of public exhibition, and very unprofitable in the way of subscriptions.— Courier.

An A i t, of Parliament has just passed both House, of the Legislature, and received the Royal Assent which promises in its results to destroy that rancorous spirit of litigation unfortunately so prevalent, and fu terminate, by a short . though equitable process, those petty quarrels that have been the very existence of pettifoggers. The Act alluded to was on Saturday distributed among the Metropolitan Magistrates and came into force on the 1st instant. By' its pro' visions a discretionary power is vesied in his Majesty's Justices of the Peace to hear, decide, and determine on such cases of assault as may not, in their opinion, appear of sufficient magnitude to be submitted to tiie more expensive and solemn investigation of a Jury. The punishment they are empowered to inflict is (,' y penalty, and the highest sum that caii bs imposed1 is not to exceed £ 5 together with costs. In d ' fault „ f payment, they are authorized to commit to imprison- ment for any space the off. nce may seem to mc- i- it not exceeding tiiree calendar months.

After some miscellaneous business, tbe Scotch and Irish Promissory Notes Bill was read a second time, on the motion of the First Lord of the Treasury, after a discussion of some length, iu which the Earl of CARNARVON, Viscount GODERICH, and Lord REDES- DA LB took the chief part. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in the course of the debate, expressed himself de- cidedly in favour of a metallic currency in Scotland as well as iu England, although circumstances at present concurred to render its establishment difficult. The bill was ordered for coniinitial on Wednesday. HOUSE OF COMMONS- THURSDAY. MT. LA'WLKY presented a petition from Birmingham against that part of the Foreign Enlistment Bill which prohibits any person from exp. utingMo foreign countries guns and other warlike stores. ThC ^ lon. Member stated, that unless the subject shoubNbe taken up by some other mem- ber, lie would hiniseX bring it forward al as early a period as possible lieXt session.— Mr. LITTLETON supported the petition, and hoped his Hon. Friend would carry his notice into effect.— Mr. BARING trusted that Ministers would inquire into it England was the only country ex- cluded from such a traffic.— Mr. HOSKISSON said, the exportation of munitions of war was not prohibited by fhe statute in question,— Sir R. WILSON said, accord- ing to Mr. Canning'* statement, the bill in question had been passed at the request of the King of Spain. — Mr. PEEL thought that danger would accrue from its repeal; the policy of a great and of a small state e mid not iu such cases be strictly assimilated.— Mr. WYNN defended ihe bill — Sir R; WILSON said be was not surpri « ed al it, as Mr. Wynn bad been the King of Spain's agent in gelling it passed — Mr. WYNN said the charge was a foul ftndMvellous one. — After Srome further observations from Sir R. WILSON, tbe SPEAKER interfered, arid mutual explanations took place. The petition, after some further conversation, was ordered to be printed. Mr. M. FITZGERALD, in moving for the production of the correspondence between the English and Irish Governments at the period of the Union, said it was not bis intention to go into the general question, which might have the effect of weakening the im- pression that the last debate had left on the House, lie intended, therefore, to confine himself to the 1derives, partly direct and partly implied, tliat bad > eeu given by Mr; Pitt, Lord Castlereagb, aud others, to the Caihoiics, in consequence of which they had assisted iu the Union and carried it, as without fheir co- operation it would not have taken place. The Right lion. Gent, then went at great length into tbe subject, which he endeavoured to illustrate aud prove by reference to tile speeches of Mr. Pitt and other documents. — M r. Secretary PEEL thought it was unnecessary to produce the documents, which were accessible to tbe public, and might be easily pro- cured ; and with respect to the private letters, they had been written under circumstances and feelings so little favourable lo cool discussion, that lie trusted but little argument was necessary to convince the House Phat it would be improper to publish them— Mr. O'BRIEN IWWT the Earl of Sf> GERMAINS supported the motion. — Sir J. BRIDGES said it was evident no understanding had been entered into by the Catholics at the Union, as both the Secretary of the Association and Mr. O-' Connell denied that " the Catholics had eo. operated- iu- it.— Mr. S. RICE was glad that tbe motion had been brought forward, but advised Mr. Fitzgerald to withdraw it, as its defeat might be Fboked upon as another defeat on the subject of the Catholic Claims — MR. FITSS^ BRAr, D, in consequence, withdrew his i not km, but complained al the same lime thai he had! not been- supported in the way he had a right to expect in making it. The House, in committee, went through the several clauses of ihe bill to amend the Savings Banks laws, and the Report was ordered to be taken into consider- ation on Monday.— The Committee on the Additional Churches- bill was postponed to Tuesday." HOUSE OF LORDS- FRIDAY. The Scotch aod Irish Promissory Note bills went through a committee; and the Election Poll bill was read a seeond time. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The only important business under discussion was fhe Ordnance Estimates. A lengthened debate en- sued on the recommendation of the Finance Com- mittee, lhat the office of Lieut - General of the Ord- nance should be abolished. Compliance with this recommendation wa » > resisted by Ministers, on the gr- uund lhat llic public service could not be effectively carried ou unless that office were kept up, and the motion for its- abolition was in git- lived by a- division of 204^ to 95-. The appointment will therefore be re- gained. The whole of the olher recommendations of the Committee in this department of the public expenditure hove bren assented to by government, and will be carried into effect. jPOSTSCiRllPT.

They announce the intelli- gence of the assumption of the title of King by fhe traitor Miguel.— These, we suppose, will be the last despatches from Sir Frederick.— The Foreign Am bassadors have either left Lisbon, or will leave it immediately. The Galatea frigate has been sent out to bring home Sir F. Lamb, of whose conduct, under such' difficulties, there can be but one opinion— that he has upheld the honour of his country, and been worthy to be the representative of the Sovereign of this mighty Empire.— We are happy to announce that the Marquis de Palmella and his gallant com- panions arrived at Oporto 011 the 2Gth ult. and were received with the greatest rejoicings. Generals Sal- danha and Villa- Flor proceeded on the next day to the army : and General Stubbs took the command of Oporto. From Russia we learn, that Brailow ( or Ibrail) surrendered on the 18th of June, after a most san- guinary assault. The Russians admit a loss of two • generals, and 040 men, killed ( the number of officers is not given,) and 1435 wounded, 140 of whom are officers. DEPARTURE OF MR. STRATFORD CANNING.— Mr. Canning left town on Saturday evening, for the purpose of proceeding on a special mission respecting the Greeks. The right hon. gent, had a conference with the Duke of Wellington in the afternoon, and afterwards had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen, at fhe Foreign Office. Mr. Canning is accompanied by Mr. Mellish, one of tbe clerks of the Foreign Office. The place of the right hon. gent.' s destination, in Italy, is understood to be Otranto. THE REVENUE.— The accounts have been made up to the 0th instant.— The total increase upon the year is 110 less than the sum of £ 1,274,051. The increase upon the quarter is proportioned to the w hole increase of the year, with an accuracy which is rather remarkable, being £ 318,729. € i) e Salopian ' journal. WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1828. LONDON— SATURDAY, JULY 5. According to fetters from Hermanstadt, in a Paris- paper of Thursday, Ibrail was taken on the 15th or 10th. ult. but no official account of its capture has been received. Ghiurgero, on the left bank of the Danube, is to be the next fortress invested. It is stated on the same authority, that a column of Turks had crossed the- river, and attacked a Russian force at Calafali, but was repulsed. A Constantinople article enumerates the Turkish force at 177,000 men. Accounts from OportOy rcccived to the 17th ult. fully bear out the statement that no reliance is to be placed on the Lisbon Gazettes, whiclv> claim victories over the constitutional troops. It is understood that on the 23d the constitutional army was at Caldas, nine leagues from Lisbon, on its way to that city; and a deputation from the provisional junta was about to join it to stimulate its movements. Dofl Miguel had ordered the Cortes to meet on the 23d, when it was expected they w ould proclaim him King, on which all the Ambassadors will take tiheir de- parture. The contributions towards the proposed King's College advance rapidly. The name of the Duke of Northumberland appears as a subscriber of £ 1000; and the Duke of Wellington, in addition to his donation of £ 300, has Subscribed foi' ten shares, The number of shares taken reaches nearly two hundred. The Gazette of yesterday afternoon announces that his Majesty has been pleased to appoint Major General David Stewart to be Governor and Com- mander- in- Chief of tilie Island of St. Lucia; and to grant to the Rev. H. V. Bayky, D. 13. the place and dignity of a Prebendary of the Collegiate Church of " Westminster, vice the Rev. Lord H. Fitzroy, deceased. The late Lord Chancellor's judgment in the Wellesley case was yesterday affirmed by the House of Peers. Lords Redesdale, Manners, Eldon, and Lynd- liurst, spoke in support of the decision. A meeting was held at the Freemasons' Tavern to- day, for the purpose of raising funds to continue aud complete the Thames Tunnel. The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Wellington were present., and the resolutions were moved by the latter. Lt is estimated that £ 200,000 will be w anted, in addition to the £ 180,000 expended ; and it is proposed to raise the amount, on debentures. The Dukes of Cambridge and Wellington, Mr. Pallmer, M. P. for Surrey, and J. Mandsley, Esq. subscribed £ 500 each ; the Earl of Aberdeen, the Duke of Somerset, and Earl Powis, £ 300; Viscount St. Vincent £ 200; aud about fifteen others £ 100 each. The Hon. James Stuart, Chairman of the Commis- sioners of Stamps, is appointed Assistant Secretary to tlie Treasury. A letter from St. John's, Newfoundland, of the 9th June, received at the North and South American . Coffee HoUsc* this morning, states that his Majesty's ship Tync has arrived there in three days from Halifax; and brings the melancholy intelligence of the loss of his Majesty's ships Contest, Sapphire, and Acorn, in a hurricane between Bermuda and Halifax, and that every soul on board the different vessels perished. The Tyne was in the gale but weathered it. EXECUTION.— Yesterday morning was appointed for carrying into effect in front of Newgate, the sentence of the law on John Montgomery and William 11 ice, convicted, the former on charge of forgery, and the latter of burglary. Rice acknow- ledged the justness of his sentence, and expressed himself perfectly resigned to his fate. On the signal being given to the executioner, the drop fell, and Rice, after several severe struggles, ceased to exist; The execution of Montgomery Was rendered unnecessary. About six o'clock this morning, on the turnkey entering the cell of the prisoner, he discovered that he was dead, and must have been so for some time, as the body was quite cold. lie had taken a quantify of Prussic acid, and the effect of that powerful poison must have been almost instantane- ous. © s^ f* The Verses by " S." shall appear in our next, tn consequence of tbe arrival iu Shrewsbury of certain characters who arc better known than respected, we have been requested to caution such of our country friends as may have business at the Fair this day, to take care of their pockets.

At the end of a mile the front was occupied by Mayfly, looking a winner,, with Hedge- ford and the" Blacklock ;; these three came out, and contested the race; every inch until the last forty yards; here Mayfly dropped off, and Hedgeford led: till the last fly; here " the Blacklock flew also, and won by half a neck. The winner was rode by a lad of Major Ormsby Gore's, and Hedgeford bv young Harry Wadlow.- The riding of these two lads excited great applause. The next nice was the Corporation Stakes fiir two- year olds 10 subscribers of 23 sovs. each, with 51) sovs. added by the Corporation nf Ludlow , half a mite. 1 Eight earn,• to the post and went off the first start. Betting 5 to 4 Oll. the field ( freely taken) against Lucy, the favourite; 2 to 1 against Douglas, also taken ; aud 4 to 1 against any other. Douglas- got the start, and Lucy the rear. Douglas was never headed, and won cleverly; Melody second, and Lucy third ( not placed). The Lutwyche was all on one side, long odds being offered without takers.- i-^ Eastgrave won in a canter. Mr. Charlton broke- the witch by winning the Maiden Plate with Macassar, beating the favourite ( Silverlock), on which some money was lost. Thursday.—^ The Gold Cup. Under the impression that Alcaston would not start, the old horse F. uphrates was backed freely until Thursday morning, when the odds went about, and 5 to 4 on Alcastou went lieggiug a good deal of business on this race;; the field and Euphrates even. Tom mounted' the old'mi, and looked'around liiui meaning mischief, and away they went, Euphrates making desperate running, which at the end ofa mile and half imt the young one in a passion, aud run away he would, whether or no. Billy Lear, wlio agaili rode Aleaston, had hard work to keep him straight, and' had no chance of changing places, for Sam Darling with Hesperus was close to his heels, and the pace was terrible. A mile from home it appeared all over with Euphrates, but Tom got liiiu toge- ther, waiting to see Alcaston's passion Subside, when lie again pushed for ttie front and got it, and to it they went, neck and neck, till the last hundred yards, when it was clear that the old one had it, after as fine a contest as ever was witnessed winning by a length. ' The Ten Guineas Stakes, for two- year olds, was the next race which waif thought a faster race than the Corporation. It w as won by Mr. Charlton's Eugene; beating Major Gore's Buudler and Lord Chesterfield's colt bv Cannon Ball. The Oakley Park Stakes, " like the Lutwyche, excited no interest, Brother to Hexgt- ave being the only prime nag at tin- post, aud Won cleverly. K, I The Old Field Stakes.—- This was a i- Jose- run race between Hesperus and Constantine, but won clevetly by Hesperus. The Cavalry Cup was won bv Mr. Bach's b. in.

When the body was brought to shore, Arch deacon Butler, D. D. of Shrewsbury, then at Bar- mouth, hastened to the spot, and, under his directions, means were resorted to for restoring animation, but, unhappily, without effect.— In consequence of this unfortunate occurrence, Dr. Butler has exerted himself to establish a Humane Society in Barmouth. THE CAMBRIAN QUARTERLY It is with much pleasure we learn that it is intended to publish a quarterly work Under the above title, commencing January 1, 1829, on a plan similar to that of The Cambrian Begisicr. The subjoined ex tracts from the Prospectus will be read with interest by the lovers of Cambrian Literature, and they will recognise them as the produce of a master- mind We understand, from good authority, that the Pro- spectus was penned by a distinguished young Noble- man, of rising fame and talents, who, after having gained the first honours at the University of Oxford, and after travelling on the Continent of Europe, and making himself master of most of the modern lan- guages of the countries visited by him, now holds a high office in the present Administration, and pro- mises to distinguish himself in the annals of the British Senate and who, amid the toils of Politics, contrives to relieve the fatigues of office by literary recreations. We have heard also, that the writer has declared that he derived more substantial pleasure and information, and received more light on the history and languages of Greece and Rome, from the study of the history and language of the Cymry, than from any other source whatever:— The work here proposed to be undertaken has, we dare to believe, some new recommendations; there is selected a vast store of original manuscripts, in prose and verse; tbe most learned veterans of our language will assist in their develop- ment, nor will the younger be less forward in tbe- eause. rJ lie labours of preceding years have enlightened a track for our pursuit, and the zeal of inquiry, so characteristic of tbe present a^ e, by acting on the discoveries of those who came before us, will, we hope, draw a fourfold harvest from the soil of the Cyhrrv. But of tbe" zeal which warms within our own bosoms we would communicate a portion to our neighbours and our countrymen ; to our countrymen there is no need of other exhortation than to. say, that this work will treat of the language, the deeds, and the virtues of their forefathers. It is here that pride is honourable, and prejudice is becoming. No one was ever held foolish for his patriotism, though it were even carried beyond the lessons of correct philosophy; it is wisdom in a man to be blindly enthusiastic for bis country's renown;. and surely, of all people we should be the least backward to set forth our claim to the praises of history. Inhabiting a land which came a virgin to the arms of our ancestors, unmixed in our race, uncorrupted in our language, civilized, though not adulterated, by foreign inter- course, we stand amongst the most remarkable objects for thinking minds. But though we have fallen from our high estate, and lank no more as an independent people, it is matter of pride and seemly exultation, that our annals are stainless; we can vie with every nation in examples of honour, courage, and dignified obedience. Our lineage is ancient, and our morality pure, nor will our mother- land ever tarnish her worthiness to exhort each child: " I) isee, puer, virtutem ex me verumque laborem, Fortunani ex aliis: 5Sis raeinor, et te auimo repetentem exempla tuorum, Et pater iEneas, et avunculus excitet Hector." JEneia, lib. xii. v. 435. We have yet one appeal to tbe affections of our brethren — The progress of science and of time must assimilate the language of the Principality to that of its sister kingdom; to pronounce a wish is unnecessary here; as Welshmen we cannot desire it, as Britons we must not retard such a con- summation: but fo save our name from oblivion, our anti quities from dust and the worm, our poets from night, our manuscripts from the flames, and our venerable tongue from contempt, is both generous and useful. It is recorded, by the , Latin Historian, that when tbe old inhabitants of Lueania were brought under the Roman yoke, but not, as we were, to become an honourable part of the constitution and empire, the vanquishers forbade them lhe use of their own native speech in their own mother land. The burthen of conquest ; was heavy, but it could not subdue their inborn affections: one day in each year waff Set apart for secret converse and interchange of their national language. Thus they main ' tained the remembrance of past days, and all hearts were enlivened by their native tone, which cheered them like a music at once martial and tranquillizing. This is not our condition, but it may hold forth to ns a worthy example. If, by such beauty of patriotism, by the mere whisper of native sounds, they could, during adverse times, be warmed into joy, why should we neglect so true a friend in hours of prosperity] If, in the course of ceilturies, our speech pass away,- w^ should-, at least, while there is time, give immortality to its spirit; its sentiments, its philosophy, its wisdom, and its soul, may be transferred into a younger language; aiid the descendants of many generations may study ils beauties, and, though the language as a lining one be extinct, indulge in those feelings of tenderness which recollections may sometimes cast back even on the periods of CHESTER CIRCUIT.

We are informed that, during one of the recent thunder- storms, the electric fluid passed down the chimney of the Ball public- house, at Madelev Wood, in this conqty, scattering and injuring the furniture, utensils, & c. and striking down the landlady and her servant, although an aged female with a child that she was nursing escaped untouched. The elcctric fluid passed from the public- bouse and across the way to another house, fhe wall of which it broke, and then went through this dwelling without further mischief. In our Fair yesterday, Fat Sheep averaged 6d. per lb— Strong Store Figs rather advanced on the prices of last Fair; but small I'igs were somewhat lower. At Church Stretton Fair, on Thursday last, Fine Wool sold at from 9s. to lis. per stone ; Long Wool from 9( 1. to 9; d. per lb. j Limb's Wool from 9( 1. to lOd. per lb.— A great quantity was taken home again unsold. Chester Midsummer Fair commenced on Saturday last. There was an abundant supply of horses and cattle. The latter fetched good prices, generally ; but of the former buyers were shy, except at very reduced prices. Pigs were in good request, and sold clear. The halls are, as usual, filled with goods of every description, but business has scarcely yet com- menced in them. In the hop market, the prices are merely nominal. In the horse fair, on Saturday last, a stale trick was successfully played off upon a young man, by which a poor Welshman, named Edward Roberts, of Hope, was swindled out of a bay horse worth upwards of £ 20. A man of genteel exterior, who gave his name Davies, and said he lived close by at Backford, proposed to exchange a bay mare for the bay horse, telling the young man if the owner did not like the bargain he might have his horse again. At this moment another man ( apparently a horse- dealer) came np and bid £ 22 for the mare, telling the young man to lead her up to the White Lion Stables, where he would receive the money. While proceed- ing thither his customer contrived to give him the slip, and he never saw him afterwards. The marc proves to be an old spavined jade not worth thirty shillings. At Hereford Wool Fair on Tuesday last, the quantity of that article brought for sale, was scanty beyond all precedent. The best combing wools went at 10s. per stone, weighing l3lbs. one draft, and the same quality we have known fetch 42s. Short wools were a drug ; about eight shillings was the price for them.— Fat cattle averaged about 6d. per lb.; stores went lower than at the last fail". Fat sheep sold for 6-. d. per lb. WORCESTER, JULY 4— Although in our planta- tion the hops still grow and branch out very fine, yet the flies continue to increase. There are similar reports from Kent and Sussex. antiquity. " Nunquam F. go te, vita amabilior, Aspiciam pnsthac? at certe semper amabo." Catullus ud Hottalum. To our neighbours we must assign reasons of a sterner kind; knowledge from the history of our tongue and nation, and - diluting wiilsom in our poets: we readily promise tn fulfil tlit- lr expectations. Our history,.- is handed down by long tradition, is abundant in most curious materials, affording much light to those who would grope into the earlier periods of this Island, and rich in stores for the speculative anti. quarian. The Triads, we believe, on amplest evidence, contain a large mass of Druidical learning; we are anxious that this evidence should be fairly weighed before its preten- sions are rejected. The laws of ( towel Pda seem to be the groundwork 011 which Ihe great Alfred erected his invaluable code; our Prince, as dates will shew, flourished anterior to tile Saxon Monarch In poetry wc may begin by claiming abundance; nor do we assert loo much when we say, that there is great genius alsn: the majestic piety of Taliesin, the sweetness of Dafydd lip Gwylvm, the Petrarch of Wales, are alone sufficient to justify our pride; but there is not space in a Prospectus such as this to enumerate the titles and merits of our bardic race: boldly maintain our high pretensions, and challenge any one to dispute them— but those who would dispute must read. ANN HULME, RATEFULLY acknowledging past Fa- vours, respectfully announces her Son's Arrival from London, with every Information in Fashionable llair- Cutting- and Dressing-, and Ornamental Hair Manufacturing1, and hopes he will merit a Continuance of their Support.

Whatever may be finally adjudged as the merits of Our language, it is at least most curious in primitive simplicity; it bears the genuine stamp of antiquity, seem- ing to comprise within its stores certain roots of every European language; it is plain and confined in its syntax, yet wonderfully copious in word « and sounds, a matter which cannot he better illu'strated than by stating that Milton's Paradise Lost has been rendered into Welsh, and there is not through out the translation a single word borrowed from another language. This is the fruit of the genius of Dr. Owen Pughe, a gentleman whose knowledge'and talents are equalled only by his noble patriotism. In this undertaking we have no end but the diffusion of our literature; no hope but the esteem of our fellow citizens; no profit but the honour of Cambria; it has been commenced by a few persons who wished to save from the contempt of time the slight remnant of our treasures^ if disinterestedness be allowed to have any claim, we confidently put it forward. Welshmen have' been accused of prejudice aud exaggera- tion true, we have been sometimes led away by the warmth of our character; but we now call upon the world to give attention, and afterwards judgment; we will put before it our various records, and willingly submit our national fame to the educated and liberal. WHIRLWIND.— Miraculous Preservation.— Be- tween seven and eight ofclock on the morning of Saturday se'nnight, as the Hazlebeach ferry- boat was crossing from thence to Pembroke Dock, under sail, with two passengers, it was overtaken by a tremend- ous whirlwind, and which was observed by the boat* men before it reached him to draw up the water to a height of between 30 and 40 feet. Before he could lower his foresail it was shivered to pieces, the boat whirled round, and sunk, the water falling upon them as if from a water- spout. The two men seized an oar each; the woman the sprit, with one hand, having her basket firmly held in the other; they thus buoyed themselves up for about fifteen minutes, when they were relieved from their perilous situation by a boat that had, on discovering the accident, shoved off from his Majesty"^ Dock- yard. The two men were first seen and picked up, when immediately afterwards the woman was observed j on the boat's crew going to lay hold of her, she begged them first to secure her basket, in which were iier green peas and money going to rmirket; she then suffered herself to be hauled in. Too much praise cannot be o- iven to Mr. West and the boat's crew for their humane exertions in saving the lives of these people. The whirlwind passed on in a N. E. direction, damaging the roof of Llanstadwell Church imme- diately opposite the Dock- yard, and finally expended itself at Langam, after unroofing some cottages, and rooting up such trees as it came in contact with in its progress over land.

'' EMIE System of Life Insurance has, in a tbis Country, assumed such Importance, and. spread out into sllcii [ VlaguitiidrT. lliaI 10 enlarge oil its Advantages would he altogether superfluous. The British Public have, happily, been long familiar with a Scheme, w hich, by a small annual Sacrifice, secures from Poverty the Children and Relatives of Persons whose Incomes are wholly or chiefly dependant on their Lives;— which is capable of a very useful Application to Marriage Settlements ;— and Which is eminently calculated lo give Stability lo a vast Variety id' imparl mil Transactions. Il is uot wonderful, that a Plan which embraces so many beneficial Objects " should have powerfully engagrd the Public Attention, arid mixed itself widely and intimately, with the whole Business of Lile. THE PELICAN Life Insurance Company has, for 30 Years, held a distinguished Rank among llip numerou: Establishments connected with these great Purposes The Confidence they have so long enjoyed tliev are naturally ambitious to retain. Tliey have, accordingly taken into their serious Consiih ration the alleged Improvement in Human Life; and they have instituted laborious and careful Inquiries, wilh a View lo ascer- tain the Safety of the leduced Terms of Insurance which, of lale Years, have been offered lo the Public and to determine whether the Interests of the Assured would be best consulted by a diminished Rale of Pre. mium, or by a deferred Advantage in the shape of a Bonus. The Result of these Inquiries has been such an Adjustment of their Rates as will enable tl Directors to offer' to the Public a very considerable Reduction of Premium iu the yuituger and middle Ages of Life. They have been induced to adopt this Course by Conviction of the Uncertainly which a deferred Beuefi implies, nud the serious Responsibility which it entails ou the Assured by constituting tliem Partners Jitihje for the Losses of the Office ; and further, by a Preference for Ihe Simplicity of an Arrangement which, iu Consi- deration of a mniternte annual Payment, secures the required Sum ; instead of providing an undefined Bonus al the Expense of a certain Addition to the1 Premium. General Lord Hill, Commander of the Forces, held a levee on Thursday at the Horse Guards, which was very numerously attended by general and other officers. His lordsllip gave a grand dinner on Friday evening to his Grace the Duke of Wellington and a considerable number of illustrious and distinguished . guests. .. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.— The Monthly Miwuxine'contains the following sketch of the gallant Premier's character:—" He can cast away his office to- morrow, without a remembrance, if he thinks fit to do so ; which is one of the very first reasons why he is likely to be very little molested in it. If he does hold office— the very multitude know and feel this— he will hold it, on his own terms. He has a station, a character, a fortune to fail back upon, quit power when he will, which are equal— must be equal— to mini's highest ambition; and of which the powers of no influence, the abuse of no party, can deprive him. Minister or not— ministry is not his trade, though he has shown those who treated him as a mere soldier, that he can do something in it; but, minister or no minister - commander- in- chief or no commander— he has earned his position— he is the Duke of Wellington — the man who reversed the tide of Napoleon's fortune, and carried the arms of England from the shores of Lisbon to the gates of Paris; and whose fame will endure for ages in the records of history, when the arrogancies of those who possess mere power, and the wranglings of those who aspire to it, shalf be alike forgotten. NECTAR.— A pleasant Summer Beverage.— Ptit one pound of sugar, two pounds of raisins chooped or whole, oue lemon peeled and sliced, into a cask ; pott I' thereon two gallons of boiling water; stir the whole well once every day for four or five days ; then strain and bottle it, and it will be fit to use in nine or ten days. THE COW CABBAGE.— The following account of ' this extraordinary vegetable is extracted from the Gardener's Magazine:—" I enclose a few seeds of aborescent cabbage, introduced from La Vendee, by tint celebrated Comte de Puisaye, which promises to be an important acquisition to agriculture. I have . seen it growing in the garden of my friend, Admiral Brooking, here, to the height of eight feet. In La Vendee, 1 am told, it attains an altitude of from 12 to 15 or more feet. Being a native of a warmer climate, it should be planted iu a warm and sheltered situa- tion : sixty plants are said to afford sufficient pro- vender for a cow for a year, and as the side- shoots only are used, it lasts four years without fresh plant- ing. A square of 60 feet will contain 246 plants, four feet apart, or 16 more than four cows require for a year's provender, without the aid of other food. W. Hamilton, Oxford Place, Plymouth."— Mr. William Lee, a native of Leeds, now resident in France, has brought over a small quantity of the seed of the cow cabbage, which he has distributed to his friends. It is not generally known, that America, at an early- period, followed the example of this country in establishing a sinking fund, which now operates most ' ffici£ ntly iu the reduction of the public debt. From the proportion whicn it bears at present to the amount of the debt, it is computed that it will extinguish the whole within twenty years. The French sinking fund, according to the amount of the national debt and resources of the country, is nearly as effective as that of the United States. It will not be forgotten, however, that the latter has been made so by forcibly reducing the debt— an event which took place during the Revolution. The exhibition of ancient pictures, at the Museum of the Society of Arts in Birmingham, is announced to open on the 14th. The collection of Lord Lyttel- ton, of Hagley, has been thrown open to the com- mittee for selection; In the course of the late sittings in the Court of King's Bench, all the causes which were decided in one day exhibited examples of the most flagrant per- jury ; the witnesses on each side counter- swearing point- blank the testimony adduced by the opposite parfv. On that day the Lord Chief Justice declared that it was wonderful that the indignation of Heaven at such enormous villainy had not cast down the roof ofthe Court, and buried all the inmates in its ruins. The Additional Churches Bill has had a close dis- cussioifcjn the House of Commons, and the object of it is supported. An opposition to it has been pro- moted oil the ground that the Bill invested Church- wardens with the power of unlimited and irresponsible taxation. But that power is already invested in Churchwardens by the law as it now stands. The Bill is intended to restrict it. Churchwardens can by the present practice raise money before any expense is incurred: the Bill provides that they shall laise no money, except to meet expenses already incurred.— There lias been only one petition against the llill pre- sented to Parliament, and that is from certain in habitants of Manchester. Two clauses of the Bill are postponed for consideration next, session of Parliament. One of them is that which refers to the point most objected to - the rates. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer entertains no doubt of shewing its expediency and its necessity at the proper time. The house of a barber was recently excavated at Hcrculaneum, and every thing was found in a most, extraordinary state of preservation. The utensils of his trade— the place used to warm water— the seats on which the customers were used to sit— and even the pins used in dressing the hair of the female customers, are all in the condition in which they were left at the time of the overflow of the town by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. A great number of peijsops have been to visit this place, who give high prices for any relics of antiquity. " Wist week, a greyhound bitch, in the possession of Mr, John Major, of Muston, which had been missing for some time, returned home for food. On being- watched to the place of her retreat, it was discovered she had scratched a hole into a bank above a yard deep, where she had pupped eight whelps. In one of her journeys between the hole and the farm- house she had killed a hare, and eaten a part of it, when Mr. Major, jun. discovering it to be with young, took it from her, and liberated four young ones by opening it; they were alive, and are now likely to Mr. Peel has given it as his decided opinion that to fix by law either a minimum or a maximum of wages is impossible. Mr. C. N. Palmer lias introduced his bill into the House of Commons to reduce the interest payable for money invested in the Savings Banks from 3rl per diem, or rather more than 4\ per cent, annually, to 2' d. per diem, by which, he calculates, the nation will save £ 100,00( 1 annually. Mr. Peel's bill to facilitate the recavery of small debts, by extending the power of County Courts, has been withdrawn ; the difficulties in the way of making compensation for vested interests in certain patent offices, not being likely to be surmounted during the present session. MILITARY FORCE OF EUROPE.— Russia quotes her population in Europe, Poland, Asia, and America, at about sixty millions ; her army in a time of peace at 700,000; and in a period of war at eleven hundred, thousand fighting men / and 400 armed ships. The latter, beyond about a dozen vessels, are a contempti- ble force in all that makes real naval power; and if England were to rate herself after a similar manner, instead of naming a thousand, vessels of war, she might name treble the number. The population of Turkey is about 24 millions; but in certain portions of her territory every man is a soldier when called upon; and hence the fact, that on any serious menace, she would muster a million uf men vyith perhaps less difficulty than any other nation in Europe. The greatest danger to which she is sub- ject, is mutiny and insubordination : a Sultan's head is cut off, and a door is opened to negotiation /— The population of France cannot be quoted higher than about thirty- three millions, including her Colonies, as we have those of Russia ; and her army in a time of war at 320,000. Anstria gives her war establishment of troops as high as 750,000 ; and Prussia about half a million. The population of the world, under the dominion of England, is not less than one hundred, andfurtu millions, being nearly equal to that which is under. the sway of all the other powers of Europe.; yet our war- establishment of troops, including the militia, would not reach 400,000 men.— The immense difference between moral and physical force, in governments and in armies, is here singularly illus- trated. NEW MODE OF PROJECTING SHOT FOR NAVAL WARFARE. A lecture was lately given by Air. Brockeilon, at the Royal Institution, Albemarle - street, on a new method of projecting shot, invented by . Mr. Sievier, the sculptor. Mr. B. stated, that he- was present at some of tlie experiments, and that one ounce of gunpowder projected to a distance of 17.") yards ( point blank) a ball of 141b. and. it. afterwards penetrated the earth 3 feeL The most extraordinary part of this invention was, that t'. ie shot is fired without a cannon, and it was mentioned by the lecturer that, the great saving iu the weight,, particularly ship carriage, would be very considerable, as to fire, a shot of 121b. in the ordinary way would, require a cannon of 22 cwt. and a carriage of 10 cwt.; whereas Mr. Sievier's invention only requires a stock or bar about 1 cwt. This mode of gunnery is not confined to any calibre, therefore any sized or shaped shot mity be projected from the same stock. He also stated that Sir Wm. Congreve had an invention something similar which lays at Woolwich, the powder being confined in a mandril; in Mr. Sievier's it is confined the shot itself. Sir William's was not found to answer. At, the house of a Scottish nobleman of the highest rank, the Duke of Wellington happened to be present when the character anil conduct of the Emperor Nicholas became Ihe subject of discourse. It was mentioned in just commendation of that distinguished Prince that he had forborne the flattering and im- portant ceremony of coronation as King of Poland, front a religious objection to the established oath which would bind him to protect the Roman Catholic Church in that kingdom. A pupil of the puffed breeches and political economy school, who had intruded into the company, reverently observed upon this, that " out. of Enqland he did not suppose such folly was to be found." Upon which the Duke, who had taken no part in the previous conversation, remarked— « In England I did hope that there was not to be found, among gentlemen, ignorance so empty and so impious."— St. James's Chronicle. The recommendation of the Finance Committee to give a confrol| ing power to tile Treasury over the whole of tlie departments of the public business, uf order to Mcf as a check" against any unnecessary expense, will, it is understood, be adapted by govern- ment. At his lordship's villa,' at Twickenham, on Thurs- day, the Si of July, ijied Eleanora Countess of Uxbridge, iu the 30lh year of hex age, . after a severe and lingering! illness, which she bore with the greafe t patience and resignation. Her ladyship WAS the second daughter of Colonel twtd LADY Charlotte Campbell, and niece to the Duke of Argyll. Her ladyship's remains will be remo. ved froiii Twickenham on Tuesday morning for interment, in his lordship's family vault, in Lichfield Cathedral. On MoiSday, was caught, in , the west bay, Wey- mouth', floating- on. the sea apparently asieep, and secured iu that situation by means of ropes cast around its litis bv the fishermen, a most, wonderful and extraordinary 6< h, in shape and size never befora seen in this kingdom, but in the Pacific Ocean called the " Oblong Diadon Sun Fish," weighing Upwards of 1 e\ vt. HOR'SIRLE MURDER — On Thursday evening, the 3d inst. the village of Eatcock was thrown into the greatest state of. agitation by the discovery of one of those horrible actions which now and Ihe. n transpire and alarm the public. A man of the name of Baker,' between 00 and ' if!) years of age, tinder the impression of jealousy, as it is said, murdered his wife, about, the same age. Ide had beaten her.. with a stick for abpui an hour, and after she was dead, washed her,' put clean clothes iijjon lier, and laid her out, and then went . and. informed tire neighbogrs what he had dqne. They, lived, in a detached collage in the lane leading to Melksham forest. W. Ayde, esq. coroner held an inquest oil the body, on Friday, . when the jury returned a verdict of n itfyl. murder against the husband, and he has consequently been, committed tmder the coroner's inquest for trial at the ensuing assizes for Wiltshire. THE ELiSOTIOWT FOU CLARE. It is, therefore, on mature Consideration, that Ihe live, as tliev continue to feed very heartily upon new PELICAN COMPANY adhere to the Principle on whictHr-^ u- » .-*/ » . they were originally established. The Extent of their invested Capital, and the Responsibility of lhc, ir Proprietors, offer to the Parlies insured the most perfect Security ; while the proposed Alteration iu their Rales affords such Terms as they hope will pre serve to the PELICAN the Confidence and Patronage of the Public. The Directors insure, on equitable Terms, the Lives of Persons resident abroad, or about lo proceed lo Fort ign Climates; and Ihe Pelican Office presents great Advantages to Officers of the Army and Navy, as no extra Charge is made for Home Service.

A terrier bitch, belonging to Thomas King, . of Morpeth, went into the earth on the 5th ult. and was • lug out on the 18th, ten feet below the surface, much exhausted, but apparently she will recover. CONSCIENCE. — Conscience is the divinest gift of God to man, it is that which ever speaks, if man would listen, of an omnipresent Deity. It is not the thunder peal, nor the flashing lightning ; it is not the raging of the ocean storm, nor the terrific fury of the tornado; nor the fiery boiling of the lava from its mountain furnace ; it is none of these that speak ter FREE TRADE SYSTEM. The following remarks on the important question of free trade are copied from the New. Times : The whole arrangement and details of the free trade system, as exemplified in the measures of Mr. Huskisson, proceed on one principle, the most utterly false and hollow that was ever adopted by a practical Statesman. This principle is, " that we ought to encourage competition in our own market between the Foreign merchant and the British." We repeat it, that a more mischievous principle was never acted upon. It is this which has inundated us with foreign silks— it is this which is pouring into our markets foreign gloves— it is this which has taken the bread out ofthe mouths of the poor miners of Leadhills it is this which is ruining our store farmers by the im- portation of Continental wools— and it is this vvhich, had it not been met and prevented, would have ruined our grain farmers by the introduction of the wheats of the Continent. To freedom of trade, iu the only sense in which it ought to he used, previous at least to the year 1860, when, according- to Mr. Irving, the Millenium is to commence, we are by no means hostile. On the contrary, we are its warmest friends. Whatever restrictions have at any time been imposed ou our domestic industry, whether from a mistaken wish to further, or from a desire to repress it, we would wish to see removed for ever. Whatever home material we possess not the ready means of fabricat- ing, let its exportation be free. Whatever foreign material we possess the ready means of fabricating, let its importation be free. Whatever produce of any kind we possess the means of creating,. let that and all analogous produce be excluded from our ports. Here are three plain rules of free trade— free, we mean, as regards ourselves, the only ones that a Statesman of common sense would seek to attain, and the only ones that are not practically hurtful. Let us see how Mr. Huskisson and those who think with Mr. Huskisson have acted in regard to these rules. We shall select but one or two instances. We have, perhaps we should rather say we had, a silk trade.

A flash cove, named William Pitt, was remanded on Friday from the Mansion House, charged with robbing Mary Donkin of £ 300, at Hampton races: she carried the money in her bosom for safety, and imprudently drew it. out to change a £ 5 note; the prisoner, alive to business, grappled it and escaped : lie was secured by the lady at the Bank in the act of turning the notes into cash. Amongst the passengers by the London steamer, Captain Cortis, from this port for Hamburgh, on Saturday morning last, was the eminent preacher, Dr. Raffles. The Reverend Gentleman, we are in- formed, is about to take temporary charge of the English Independent Church in that city, the resident Minister there having recently come to this country for the benefit of his health.—. Hull Packet. There is now to be seen in Mr. BlundeU's garden, at; Mitton Mills, near Stourport, a strawberry mea- suring six inches and three quarters in circumference! The officers of the 9f. li Lancers have subscribed 500gs. for a piece of plate, to be presented to Colonel Moreland, 011 his retirement from the command of that regiment. We can state on the best information that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has relinquished bis intention of adding 3d. a pound on stripped tobacco. — We believe the country is indebted for this con- cession to the memorial scut, from this city, aided by the personal representations of our worthy Member, Mr Davis— Bristol Journal. stop to consider how far the first encouragement bestowed on the industrious inhabit- ants of Spitalficlds was proper. We think it, was. We have more ample materials in our mills, our roads, our canals, our ingenious handicraftsmen, for manufacture, than any spot on earth, and all these are now augmented ten- fold by the steam- engine and the command over it which our eoal- mines give us. Weighed against such advantages, the transport of materials from the farthest corner of the earth is but as dust in the balance. But, it is unnecessary to argue the point; it is sufficient that we had the manufacture ; that thousands depended upon it, and tens of thousands of capital were invested in it. What did the free- trade mongers ? Why, they ad- mitted, not the raw material, which was wise and proper, but the foreign fabricated material, to com- pete with this old- established and important British manufacture '. Was it pretended th it the silk manu- facturers were making too high profits? That was impossible; the trade was open. Equally impossible was it that the workmen could be overpaid; thev had 110 Corporation monopoly to keep down their numbers. What then was to result from tile intro- duction of foreign goods? Either the prices of silk were to remain, or they were to fall. If the former, of what use was the change ? If the latter, where was the wisdom in ruining our own workmen to feed the workmen of Lyons ? Take another instance of a different kind. Great Britain is eminently a pastoral country. Look to Wales, look to Scotland The climate is admirably adapted for the growth of wool — not too warm, not over colrl. Accordingly, from time immemorial wool lias been our staple. It might have been so to time immemorial had not Mr. Hus- kisson had a dislike to all things that were old. The foreigner, therefore, must be let in upon us there also, and wool must lie our staple no longer. Again, we ask, what advantage , was to flow from this? Was there any fabric that v.- e, did not possess the means of furnishing? If there was, what, proportion did it bear to those of which we had the means? \ Vas it just to hazard our whole trade, la- cause forsooth a Cashmere shaw l could not. be woven out of a South Down fleece? If it be granted that for particular purposes a small quantity of a finer kind of wool than we could easily produce was required, why was uot the importation limited to that kind ? But no the system of free trade demanded tint foreigners, whose end and aim— and most naturally, we blame them not— was to destroy our traffic in that branch, and in all branches, should be treated 01 the same terms as Englishmen. [ From the London • Packet. J The leading, indeed the alt- engrossing topic of domestic interest, is the elrvtion for the county of Clan1, rendered, necessary by Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald's acceptance of the ofiiee of President of the Board of T radej, this gentle- man, for 20 years the most zealous, and since the elevation of Lord Plunkett to the peerage, an I Mr., Canning's death, the most able supporter of the interests of the Roman Catho- lics, has been opposed by, the Dublin Association, and by the Roman Catholic clergy, . without any exception. t And /< e has been beaten, notwithstanding the unanimous support of the gentry of the county — beaten, notwithstanding his long and zealous service*, in some measure, indeed, on account of those. services,- as Mr. O'Oonnell avowed, with an ostentation of ingratitude, detestable in the party who displayed it, and demonstrative ofthe lowest moral degradation on the part of those who listened to it, not merely with patience, but with approbation and answering sup- port. The following aiJe the learned gentleman's words:— " Oh! there is nothing fri. rtkes the iron enter nut soul so much as the air o f patronage with ' which Our claims are taken under the ipinrj of a greal personage. ' / took the trouble of penning a petition forsooth f But the Right Honourable Grehtiemtin mistakes us, the time when we could be trampled upon with impunity is gOne by. \ Ve do not now, as ire were wont to do, bend our necks before our niisters. Are there no biblical sup- porters amongst his supporters f \ Oh that we could press these words in ineffaceable characters upon the memory of every man in England who has for one moment entertained the wild dream of Roman Catholic moderation and Roman Catholic gratitude—- that we could preserve in the sight of all men this monument of the daring profligate contempt of every good instinct— of every honourable principle which Popery imparts to her disciples. Why, had it not been for the honestly intended, no doubt, but. most mischievous exertions of Mr. Fitzgerald and of men like him, where would the c. iuse of Irish Pop. ery stand at this moment? By what . tuxiliaries, if not by those mistaken gentle- men, has the evil influence grown to that port and stature, which enables it to stride over the island to beard the Legislature, and to trample ujwn its un- fortunate supporters? But what is the first use nvide of her power, by this bane of Ireland ? Not contented with inflicting substantial injury upon the most ardent and successful of the servants of her cause j she. taunts him— taunts him with his very services. Read these words, ye Protestant Dissenters, if any of you there be who meditate a compromise with Popery. Read, learn— not merely the amount of Popish gratitude, but also the temper in which you may expect your hire to be paid you. But no—- this lesson cannot be necessary to those" who know tlie history of Popery from the beginning j at most it can but show that Popery is the same, and must ever remain unchanged. The story of the election is soon told. Mr. OT'on- nell having received from the Popish Parliament, iri Dublin, his instructions, and a financial supply, chose the sabbath day tor a triumphal progress across the island. In honest conformity with the principles by which the party were actuated, he dressed himself and his followers in the uniform of the rebel leaders of 1798 and 1803. By tire . way, they made the Roman Catholic Mass- houses their baiting- places j and from what are called the altars of these places, the itinerant incendiaries and their local coadjutors in the same service, the priests, harangued the barbarous arid infl uumable peasantry of each district. On Monday, the election took place, when the incendiaries, appearing still in the rebel uniform, put Mr. O'Connell in nomination. Mr. Fitzgerald, person- ally attended by the whole body of the landholders, was nominated also. He condescended to make a long and very eloquent speech, in explanation of his conduct. He was replied to by Mr. O'Connell, in a. speech, the whole of which was worthy of the sample that we have given, save that it concluded with a sentence threatening rebellion, which sentence, con- sidering the place, the circumstances, the parties to whom it was addressed and the party by whom it was employed, we do not hesitate to call an overt- act of high treason. The show of hands was declared to be in Mr. O'Connell's favour; a poll was demanded— the next day the poll was opened— a few of Mr. FitzgeraldV friends of his Own rank voted for him, but not one man below the degree of a gentleman could1 he bring to the hustings. For Mr. O'Connell, the rabble of forty- shilling freeholders were brought literally like cattle— a priest in his canonical?,, and bearing the symbol of Christian faith in his hand, leading every drove. It was impossible not to see how this must end, and Mr. Fitzgerald has been beaten. Need We add one word of comment upon this atrocious transaction, which is not the first act of a civil war, only because the ready for rebellion have not yet. found any opposition. The poll commenced on Tuesday morning, and at its close, in the evening, the numbers were— For Mr. O'Corinell 200, for Mr. Fitzgerald The polling was resumed o) i Wednesday, and at its termination in the evening the numbers stoo l thus— For . Mr. O'Con- nell 850, for Mr. Fitzgerald 538; majority in favour of Mr. O'Connell, 312. On Thursday the polling wan carried on with great, spirit, and Mr. O'ConuelI improved his majority over his opponent very considerably. At the close of the poll, on Thursday night, the numbers st. « > od as follow : For Mr. O'Connell 1820 For Mr. Fitzgerald 842 * Majority for Mr. O'Connell 978 The contest has been carried on without the occur- rence of the slightest breach of the peace on eith- r side, , Ennis- i* surrounded by troops, and Crowded with priests. A Second edition of the Dublin Faeenan's Journal of Satilr lay, announces the . majority at the close of the polVfor Mr. O'ConnidI to be one thousand and eight / It is probable, therefore, that Mr. Fitzgerald would not renew the contest, although he declare*! that he was- determined to- poll the la, 4 mau before he . would give in. An extraordinary circumstance occurred in the streets of Ennis on Monday. As Mr. O'Connell was proceeding, through the street, in company with his son Maurice, they met the Roman Catholic coadjutor bishop, the Rev. Dr. M'Mahon, when th?. learned candidate immediately prostrated himself on his knees in the most humiliating manner, and was relieved from that abject position by the Right Reverend Divine. An immense number of the peasantry were witnesses to this ceremony, on whom it seemed to produce the intended effect. — Standard, 8ALOFIAM JOURtfAI* AMP COUKIEK OF WALES, •-' j.:.

THE PRESIDENT having taken the chair, the Hev. JOHN LANGI. EY read the llt- port ; from which il appeared that in the course of the Inst yeai a fiee contribution of £ 500, and £ 334 for Bibb s and Testaments, had been remit ed to ihe Patent Society ; uud that nearly 36,000 Bibles and Testaments had been circulated by the Shropshire Auxiliary since its formation. The Rev. Archdeacon CORBETT ( President), in proposing that the Report be printed, said— * k Let us be thankful that in the changes and revolu tions of time that day has again occurred to many of us, in which we more particularly assert the ground of our union, that of making 41 God's ways know n upon earth, his saving health unto all nations." Let us he further thankful ihyt we again meet as a society in a coii- nideiable degree of outward prosperity ; but let those be most thankful who have beeu enabled to join this society in that singleness of heart, which will make it a pleasure and a support to them during the days of their pilgrimage, and enable them to look back upon it with comfort and satisfaction in that awful hour which happened! untoallmcn. Our object is, indeed, one of the first importance ; for how can God's will be done, where copies of that will are wanting? and though they have been multiplied to an unpieceden!< d extent by means of the Bible Society, how deficient is the number still!— The simplicity of our object makes ii fuither delightful. The Volume we seek to circulate is one to which no tittle may be addi d, from which no iota may be subtracted, and we are piohihited by the const station under which w e meet from glancing even at those shades of difference in the interpretation of this indelible leXt, which have a- isen from the unequal measure of the minds of men ; whilst tlie extraneous matter, allowable iu other associations, but foi bidden lu're, too fieq- uently leads to conflicting opinions, to debate, if not contention, whilst here, if ever, we obey the apostolic injunction, " be ye all of one mind." — The question, then, may be asked, where is the use of calling those together who are thus unanimous? i would answer u Much every way." Those who are conversant w'. th the warfare of the woild will know bow to prize w hat I may Cull the repose of an assembly congregated on the principles of peace," and joy, aud love. And though some membeis were unmindful of tips original obligation iu their dealings wish the Committee of the Parent Society, y et the spirit of humility find forbearance in which those attacks were received und replied to, tends only to emblazon more distinctly ' he piofessiou and the power of those prin- ciples. But independent ol this consolutory view of our situation, we know by experience, that these annual meetings holden in succession through the country, tend most materially to preserve the institution in health and weal b. We know further, that in pro- portion as duties aie self- evident, or fiedy acknow- ledged,. there is more - dangi r lest they should be forgotten or postponed, but in . these meetings not only the ignorant may he informed; the negligent are reurnded; the most contented must perceive we have not " already attained, neither aie already perfect ; and everyone has opportunity of giving or rcceivin some insight into that detail of trinuijih, which is iu danger of being obscured by ii « vastness, and tl: fore can never be too frequently adverted to or brought forward. Such, then, ate the means by which w< have sought to raise And Uphold the welfare of thii* auxiliary, whilst most of our'contemporaries have used iheir annual meeting lo the further purpose of obtain- ing1 it present supply.. Our Committee was long averse to any thiug like a oolleetiun upon this day, lest it should damp curiosity, or interfere with the publicity of their proceedings. Our doors have been opened as wide as possible upon these days, that whoever vouch- safed to enter may be convinced there was no secret among us; that we are opposed to nothing but to igno- rance and error, uud that the sole weapon of our oar- fare is that sword of the spirit which is the word of Cod." But it has been suggested to us, and indeed the same was proved to us at our last anniversary, that some of those who do attend would gladly make an oblation at the same time, and that others may be induced to attend for the sake of doing so. That I'hoSe would willingly give something to whom the amount of a recorded subscription would be inconvenient, aud that others were unwilling to fetter ihe freedom of their charity by such a record. At all events, a silent plate hoiden at the door, whilst it receives ihe smallest offering, is compulsive upon no one to offer, and it is from t he aggregate of small contributions that magnifi- cent ( though stiil inadequate) income has been raised, which astonishes England and astonishes the World ; from which blessings have been derived in tin paralleled abundance both at home and abroad, and which wants • only to be increased to increase and extend those blessings, i said we met this day iu a considerable degree of outwaid prosperity, and I do not retract the assertion ; bul it must not be concealed that the losses in a few. past years, by the decease of munificent sub- scribers, have never been fully replaced, and this, added to a circumstance bearing in some degree upon what I may call our casual income, makes ns fearful we may not be able lo continue our wonted contribu- tions to the Parent Society, and keep open the dep6t for Bibles in this town, upon the liberal terms hitherto done, without ihe accession of new subscribers, or an additional collection. And let me say, that whoever enables this or any other religious society to print one more copy of God's word than they would otherwise do, cannot be said to have lived in vain; for who can calculate the benefit of a single bible to a family ? who can calculate the descent to future generations of the knowledge and the principles so obtained? and we sometimes see this " current of hereditary descent turned back to it* fountain," inasmuch as children who have obtained the bible have become the instructors of their parents in that sacred book Instances of both sorts may be met with iu the reports of Bible Societies. I will mention one that happened lately to myself. Having occasion to pass through a fence gate to Wim bledou Common, the same was opened by a poor man sitting at the door of his cottage, by means of a rope in one hand, whilst the other sustained a bible upon his knees. 1 was told this was the situation he was usually seen in, and that when he had been offered other books by a benevolent neighbour, his answer was, 4 1 have my Bible and my Prayer Book, aud they are suffi- cient ' In a subsequent conversation with this poor man, 1 found that lie was 84 years of age, that he had learned to read at school, that his life had been one of agricultural labour till prevented by decrepitude, when lie obtained about ten years ago this sedentary employ- ment ; and that iu that time he had read his bible through once every year or oftener. But we must not stop at these home scenes, however pleasing or eucon raging; for whilst this copy has been soothing the anxious hours of pain, aud penury, and expectation, by a constant, a pleasurable, and improving occupation, other copies have been assailing- the strongholds of superstition and infidelity both at home and abroad We bear from Ireland of beneficial changes, in conse- quence of the Scriptures being more freely distributed aud lead there. We hear of a great impression being1 made upon the Jews at Constantinople, iu consequence of the New Testaments distributed there, read, indeed in secret, but ow ned, in many instances, when disco vered, with the courage and constancy of Martyrs; and we can produce instances of the same effect from the same cause among the disciples of Mahomet. Di Juan Van Hamel, when travelling iu the Caucasus with Ashan Khan and his brother, perceived a great change in the religions opinions of these Mussulmeu Chiefs, iu consequence of their frequent perusal of a bible given by Gi n. De Wrede to Asl. au Khan, which he alway carried. with him, and for which lie professed the greatest veneration. And if we pass from the old world to the new, for time would fail me if I attempted to mention a few only of the interesting* facts of similar import which may be gathered in almost every country Passing, then, to the Northern'Continent of America we find an extraordinary spread of Bible Societies,, with an energy equal lo that of the Parent Society, in communicating similar advantages to their Southern neighbours. Nor must 1 stop to recount the glad tidings which are now so frequently received by the London Committee from their agents in South America Suffice it to say, that by a recent dispatch we learn richer mine may now he me! with at Potosi than human science ever discovered there — the rich and inexhatist ible mine of the truth as it is iu Christ Jesus. Who then, w otild not gladly add to the number of those books, which thus testify of themselves and their divine author, to all persons and in all places. We cannot speak of the preparation necessary to read a Bible we would about atiy other book, for the Bible is standing miracle, 44 dividing to every man severally as he will." But we may Weil believe that he who by a secret instinct 44 maketli the stork in the heavens to know her appointed times : the turtle, ihe crane, and the swallow, to know the times of their coming," would enable his more intelligent creatures to comprehend sufficiently that visible revelation, which we are told 41 belongs to us and to our children for ever, that they may do all the words of this law." But, then, how partially is this legitimate property enjoyed, lis inter- ests were advanced, indeed, by previous religion* societies. The Bible I saw at Wimbledon was a preseut from the Rector of the parish, and probably from the store of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. May all these Societies goon prospering and to prosper, but there was still wanting some fur- ther statute for 4 transferring these uses into possession,' and it remained for the comprehensive plan of ihe Bible Society to compete wiili the wants of a world Let me then request your further patronage and support this high and bold emprise. It lias, under the blessing of Htm, 14 without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy," made a most happy beginning ; but 1 cannot consent to call il more than a beginning ; for, though we rejoice that since its establishment the Scriptures have been translated into sixiy additional languages — though we rejoice that between five and six millions of bibles have issued from this fund, exclusive of the impulse, given by it to foreign asso- ciations— and though we hope by a continuance of ils present means it may add about a half a million of Bibles annually to the stock in hand ; yet large as these numbers appear when separately considered, how small do they appear w hen put in comparison w ith a population of perhaps nine hundred millions, and w here nineteen parts mil of twenty are ignorant of ihe Gospel. of Truth. When we see the thankfulness, and even'the avidity in many places with which our Bibles are purchased at reduced prices, we mav add, with the Redeemer of men, 44 the fields are white unto the harvest;" and when we contrast what has been done w ith what remains to do, we may add, in ihe words ol the same authoi ity, 44 the harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers ate few ;" aud may we all, iu sincerity of heart, obey the command: that follows this assertion, and 44 pray the Lord of lilt Harvest that he would send Jorlh more labourers," loa- sisi in this goodly woik." JOHN BATHER, Esq. in moving the thanks of the meeiing to the Patron of the Society, congratulated the a> sembly on the encouragement given to their efforts by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. Having1 himself for seventeen year supported the . views of ihe Bible Society, lie felt that he could bear testimony to the good effect of thai discipline which il had a ten denev to inculcate among those who engaged in its operations; by which his prejudices had been sub- dued, aud he was enabled for himself to give effect to that catholic spirit by which we are taught to give the right hand of iciigiotis unity to all worthy men, without regard to puny. or sect. The practice of this spiiit had the sanction ol one of the greatest of christian philosophers— Lord Bacon; and, still more, it had iu lis favour the authotiiy of the Great Head, of the (' hutch himself. In the circulation of t- e Bible, no consistent Protestant could he opposed to them; and he felt gratified that the motion be was about to make would be supported by a gentleman, who, though differing from the Establishment on points of discipline, would, he was sure, as cordially second it, as he ( Mr. B.) would suppoit a similar vote to any Christian M inisier w hateier. The Rev. THOMAS WKAVKR said he rejoiced in the patronage given by the Right Honourable the Lord Bishop of the Diocese to the Society, aud he felt a peculiar pleasuie iu seconding the motion of thanks to his Lordship. Archdeacon CoRBBTT, before be put the motion, expressed his regret that his Lordship was unavoidably absent. The Venerable President then read a letter from his Lordship expressive of his regard for and attachment to the Society, and regretting that it was not in his power to be present on this occasion. Iu moving the thanks of'the meeting to the Presi dent, the Rev. BRIAN 1! II. I, iead a portion of a Prize Essay, in which the beneficial influence of Christianity among the nations of mankind was forcibly and clearly illustiated. The Rev. Archdeacon CORBETT briefly acknow- ledged the motion, hoping that he might be permitted to exptess his tbiurks for the kindness of his friends, without valuing himself for their, partiality. Archdeacon BATHER then moved ihe thanks of the meeiing to ihe Committee. The Rev. B HowKLL, in seconding the vote of thank* to the Committee, spoke as follows: — 14 The experience of ivVeniy years has sufficiently proved, not only the lamentable dearth of the SaercrJ Writings which prevailed among the lower orders, but also the wondeifill adaptation of the British and Foreign' Bible Society to remedy that evil, aud to answer the ends, the wise, important, and glorious ends for which it was established. I do not believe that any Society was ever formed by the wisdom of man, or supported by Christian munificence, 1 do not think that there is now in r- xistence an Institution, either in this or in any other country, that is calculated to effect, or that has actually achieved, within the period of its operations, more practical good than the one we have now the honour to advocate. If it be asked what good has it done ? VVe reply, it has done much good, much sub- stantial, spiritual, and permanent good. li has ex- cited a spirit of enquiry into the most urgent wants of mankind ; it has discovered by that enquiry such a scarcity of Ihe Word of God among the poor as sur- prised and grieved the benevolent individuals who undertook the investigation ; it has directed the attention of Ihe affluent and higher classes of the com- munity to the moral deprivations and the spiritual necessities of their indigent neighbours; it has devised means for the removal of that dearth of religious knowledge, by employing men of the most distin- guished talents, indefatigable zeal, and eminent piety translating the Scriptures into a great variety of languages, in which they never had, on any former tsion, been published; it has supplied the poor in different parts of the universe with between four and e millions of copies of the Inspired Volume; it has, short, proved an honoured instrument in the hand of Divine Providence to instruct the ignorant, reform the vicious, console ihe afflicted, and encourage the vir- tuous. What tongue can express, what heart can conceive the nature of that benefit which has been onferred on the children of men by the circulation of so many thousands of Bibles and Testaments: It will require time, it will require ages, yes, the ages of eternity, fully and completely to deVelope the quantum of good already accomplished through the instru- mentality of your adiniiuble and excellent Institution And if we form our estimate of what it may achieve hereafter from the success it has already experienced, we shall find every encouragement to perseverance, every incentive to action, and every prospect of reward which can be considered as necessary to influence the minds and to call forth the best feelings and best energies of men. 44 Therefore, I contend, Mr. President, that the British and Foreign Bible Society was not established vain and frivolous purposes — to gratify a parly- spirit— or to speculate on chimerical projects; but the rand, the benevolent, ami glorious object, which it has proposed and does still propose to itself, is to reform, and purify, and exalt our fallen nature, by making mankind partakers of a divine nature ; it is to rear the fabric of preseut and everlasting blessedness on. the solid foundation of wisdom, truth, aud virtue; it is to call the attention of a supine world to the im portanI duties of religion and the solemn realities of a future state; it is to bring thousands and millions of immortal souls out of the ruins, and degradations, and miseries of the fall; from the thraldom of sin and the dominion of Satan, into the glorious liberty of the children of God ; to the full enjoyment of scriptural glit and knowledge; to. a participation of gospel pri- vileges; and ultimately, by a right use of these privi- leges, to that inheritance which is incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away. A more bene- volent object never engaged the thoughts of man— a more interesting work was never sanctioned by nobility or patronized by princes. Let ns, then, in our re- spective capacities and according to our several abili- ties, unite heart and hand in supporting air:, iuslitutiou which has for its object the circulation of the pure and unadulterated word of God, the extension of Inima- tiuel's kingdom, the advancement of the divine glory, and the salvation of immortal souls. I beg- leave, Mr. President, to second in the most cordial manner the motion of thanks made by the Venerable Archdeacon to the General Committee for the kind and important services rendered by them to this Institution." The Rev. THOMAS OSWELI., in moving thanks to the Treasurer, Secretaries, aud Receiver, said lie did not anticipate any opposition to the motion, nor was he aware that either of the gentlemen to which it had re- ference was likely to withdraw his valuable services. Indeed, there was something in being connected with office iu such a society, that must be a source of great and inexpressible pleasure. Not only must the inter- change of correspondence with other societies be highly gratifying1, but there must be a delight iu witnessing their litile stream of charity- uniting itself with others and pursuing its peaceful and cheering course until it merged in the great ocean of benevolence ; thence re turning again to gratify and enrich iheni. Yet he must confess he could not help thinking there was much iu the circumstances of the times to depress their exulta- tion, and to excite their regret. When lie thought of their exertions, of the tens and hundreds of thousand of copies of the scriptures that they had circulated, In was constrained lo ask if the visible results w eie sueh as they bad reason to expect? He thought " iiol. Occa- sionally they heard of some instances of good effected — their President himself had gratified them with some that had come under his own observation ; bul when he thought of the slate of crime with which they were surrounded, by w hich our prisons are cn* wded, and our streets made offensive,— wiieu he I bought of the too general relaxation of morals, — the fruits of the Society's exertions appeared but specks of vegetation, which, though pleasant to the eye, were but as patches in the deseit. They ought not, however, to despond lie had observed, that any attack upon an established institution, whether that institution . was founded on good'or evil, always produced vigorous end correspond- ing effbits in its behalf; and it might be that our great adversary, attacked as be now was on every side, was putting forth his exertions— was making his great, his desperate struggle. Happy was it, then, that they could confide iu the omnipotence of their Great Head, whose Word, they were assured," would not return void. Hence there was great cause for their increased exertion ; and he trusted he should not be considered intrusive when he suggested that a greater singleness of heart was wauling iu their operations; the giving » ind receiving of the Scriptures was in itself inost gratifying, and here, perhaps, they w ; ji: e too apt to rest satisfied; and hence it was, probably, that the sentiments of the Bible were not more deeply impressed on the hearts, nor more legible iu the lives and con- claimed for them are, that they * have so benevolently employed themselves' in visiting the cottages of the poor, and in distributing among their destitute inhabit- ants that Sacred Volume 4 which u'one is able to make Ihe in wise unto salvation/ and that in accepting- these thanks they give a pledge of perseverance 7n ibis ' labour of love,' until that interesting scene witnessed by you, Sir, on one of the hills of Surrey, and so feelingly described at the opening of the* meeting, shall be more frequently witnessed on the plains of Shropshire. When all this is duly considered, 1 feel satisfied that nothing fuither need* be added to secure to the motion just made the unanimous approbation of the meeting1. With these sentiments, therefore, I beg leave most cordially to second the present motion of thanks to the ladies!" The thanks of the meeting to the Branch Societies were then moved by the Rev. JOHN RICHARDS, who said— 1,4 After, Sir, the many excellent things which we have heard this morning, and which call for our grateful acknowledgments to the Father of mercies, I should content myself with merely moving the Resolution in my baud, did 1 not fear that my silence might incur the imputation of a declining attachment to this blessed cause. Such is my reverence and affec- tion for this Institution, that I would guard against ihe possibility of falling under such a charge. Every returning anniversary strengthens my conviction that fhe hand of God is with it Where can we find a Society which bears such evident traces of the blessing aud favour of heaven? or that has been the instrument of so much good to mankind? The benefits which it has been the means of conferring are immense, and the religions feeling excited through ils means encourages the hope that we shall see greater things than these Let us persevere, then, in this great work in ihe face of every difficulty and discouragement, being strong and of a good courage, for the Lord of Hosts is with us ; the God of Jacob is our refuge. — Many attempts have been inade to sully the reputation of this Society ; but these attempts have, blessed be God, instead of tar- nishing its lustre, served only to set it off' to the greater advantage, by bringing to light those excel- lencies which would, otherwise, iu all probability, have been concealed. Its principles have been brought lo the test, aud the result has been what might he expected: and never did this Society occupy a more prominent place in the esteem of the public than at this moment. Formed and conducted on Christian principles,~ it has been extensively useful, and has never lent itself to any thing discreditable to its character, or unworthy of its professed motives. Founded on the records of that Book which it is its object to circulate, it has been remarkable for its patient continuance in well- doing'. Lately has it emerged from the severest ordeal il ever had to en dure, and, happy are we to say, without even the smell of fiie upon it • and the reason of it is, because He that was with the three Hebrew youths in the burning fiery furnace has been with it. But this is not all, the furnace has had a purifying influence on ihe meetings of this Society. VVe see less of the creature, and more of God iu them. What I mean is, that man is- more lost sight of in the admiration of that Almighty B. ing, whose is the greatness, and ihe power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty. We see a more simple dependance upon God ; a stronger impression of the necessity of personal reli- gion; an increasing disposition to refer the praise of all the good done to the Almighty ; and a deeper conviction of the need of constantly looking above for wisdom, strength, and renewing- grace. Auspicious omen' Let us not overlook this token for good, but be grateful for it, rejoicing in our increasing prospeiily < w! th fear and trembling — One of the peculiar excel- lencies of this Institution is, that all i'. s concerns have a tendency to lead the mind to God, and to fix the principles, rivet the affection, and to strengthen ihe perseverance of all devoted lo ils service. We have to do with the Bible, which tells us what a gracious God we serve; wlial a compassionate Saviour we con- fide in; and what a blessed Spirit we look lo foi instruction, comfort, and support. Many of our fellow- labourers, who were us distinguished for their piety as for their devoiedness lo this blessed cause, have finished their course, and completed Ihe work as- signed them. Can we imagine thai they now repent ol the connection which tliey bad with this Society ? No, no. li a regret enmd be fell in heaven, it would arise from the thought that ihev llnd-' diiue so little in ils service. Let us, then, esteem il nur highest privi- lege to he engaged in this work of lailh nnd labour of love, assured that our exeilious shall not be iu vain ill the Lord," The Rev. SAMUEI. BARBER returned llinuks ou be- bnlfoflbe Branch Societies ; after which ihe meeting wus dissolved, uud the sum of £ 15. 14s. 7d. was collected at the door. duct of those v\ ho professed lo be guided by ils dictates, lie did not addiess these renin/ ks to the members of Bible Societies as a body, hut if eiicli individual would learn for himself lo real z<- Ihe value of the Bible to himself, Ihe lesull would be such us could not be hoped for on any oilier ground. Tlie singleness of beait evidenced l.\ such a coiiise would, lie thought, operate most ben. ficially on the st. ite of society and on the aspect of public morals. Happj should he be if bis humble siiggesiion should fend to produce the good be nnlicipnled from its adopliun, but still more happy ought be lo be ill the reflection ' hat il might be approved by Dim whose approbation was infinitely above all other soutces of gratification.

The Rev. JOHN LANGI. EY. as one of ihe Secretaries, returned lhaiiks, titid remarked that there bud been u declension in ll. e fund* of the Socielv, in consequence of the decease of several of ils contributors: another reason fur this fulling off was, perhaps, Hint, looking ul the n 11 pi I IT u 11 y large income of ihe Soeiety, it was considered to lie a rich society: those wiio look thai mistaken view of it not Considering bow small llinl income » ns compared w illl the object the Society bud in view — to supply ihe whole World with the Holy Scripluies. The Rev. JOHN WILDE, in proposing the Auditors, puid a high compliment to the gentlemen who hud hitherto siipcriuletided the Account* of Ihe Society. The Rev. ( ieul. then adverted to the pleasure be bad derived from a perusal of tlie speeches delivered at ihe recent annivei. iiiy of the Parent Society; aud eulo- gized the zeal which he found to have characterized 1 lie late proceedings of Ihe Societies formed in North Ameriva, who had expressed u deleiininalioli to go on in the strength of the Lord until there should not In- line family in the whole continent of South America without a copy of the Bible. The Rev. WATIES COKBKTT seconded the proposition, and expressed himself highly honoured in being con- nected witii Ihe Bible Society — which be described as a glorious engine calculated to conduct men through the labyrinth of the world into that narrow path which leads to everlasting happiness. WILLIAM EOERTON JEFFREYS, Esq. having moved the thanks of the meeting to ihose Clergymen, Dis- senting Ministers, See. who had made collections on behalf of the Society, THOMAS HARRIES, Esq. said—" 1 beg leave lo second that motion, and most cordially do I do it. 1' Tlie Rev. TIIOMAS RICHARDS, iu seconding the vo'e of thanks to the Ladies, observed, that having been called upon quite unexpectedly to second ihat motion, he presumed that, at the present stage of the proceed- ings, be could tlot more efficiently discharge the duty imposed on liiin than by adopting Ihe brief, hul forcible language suggested lo bun by the monumental inscription of him, w ho limy he well styled the Prince of British Architects; and that he fell, as the writer of that epitaph probably felt, that the subject here, as in the euse alluded In, would huflle nil attempts to do it any tiling like adequate justice. " If, however," said tile Speaker, " any arguments be required iu support of the million, I would sny 4 CircumspieeWe have only to 4 look around* us for abundance of Hie most powerful arguments. For when il is consideied th » t the ladies who grace your anniversnry with their al'cudiince are the object of this motion, and iliat the orounds on which the thanks of the meeting are fBtsceHaneous JEnUHtgcuce. The General- in- Chief of the Russian Army has published a Proclamation to the Inhabitants of Bulgaria, in consequence of his having passed the Danube and entered their province. He promises to maintain order and discipline— desires them to remain in their own dwellings, and to furnish his troops wilh the provisions of which they may stand in need.— A corps of 40,000 men was lo march, on the 10th nil. from Bucharest for Silistria, meaning lo cross the Danube at Ollenitza; but later intelli gence from Hermunstadt states that considerable obstacles retard the construction of a bridge al Oileuilza, the nature of the ground ou the* right Jittnk of tli£ Danube affording great advantages to the Turks. The Pacha of Salonichi has arrived, by forced marches, with 15,000 iuen, aud posted him- self opposite Olteuitza. We understand from good authority that the Legations of his Most Faithful Majesty Don Pedro IV. at Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Turin, and Rome, have followed, as was to be expected from the honourable aud worthy persons at the head of then) respectively, the noble example of fidelity set them by the Portuguese Embassy at this Court. In this the faction of usurpers in Portugal have met with another defeat, and perhaps it. will not be the last they will experience, tor the moment cannot be far distant of their dissolution, as it is impossible for such an abominable conspiracy lo succeed in these enlightened times. The Manchester Courier says—" We understand a new line of road is projected between Lichfield and Warrington, which it is calculated will save at least six miles in that distance. It w ill leave Stone to the left, and pursue a middle course between Middlewich and Nantwich, cros- sing the Manchester and Chester road between Wilderspool and Warrington. In this situation a bridge will be thrown over the Mersey, and the new road join the old Liverpool and London road at the upper end of Sankey- street, Warrington, opposite to Bank Hall. The plan is now under the consideration of the Post- master General. Should it he adopted, of which we are assured there is every probability, it will expedite the Liverpool mail nearly an hour; and from its answering the same end, at scarcely a tithe of the expense, will destroy all hopes of a bridge over, or a tunnel under, Runcorn gap." One of the descendants of the Pcndrills is now living at the Gloucester Hotel, in this town, in the capacity of waiter. He last week received his first ' yearly payment of the pension bestowed by the gratitude of King Charles on his family.

We have a striking example of this in the depredations committed by insects in the hop plantations. The great numbers of the well known insect, the lady- bird, or lady- cow, ( Coccinclla,) which swarm during part of the summer upon hops, induce many hop- growers to suppose that they arc the depredators ; while, on the contrary they resort to the hop grounds to feed upon the liop- fly, ( Aphis) and its larva.-, which destroy the hops by sucking the juices of the leaves and young shoots. The larva, or grub, of the lady- bird; also feeds upon the aphides, and tends to diminish their destructive numbers, both in the hop grounds and in flower gardens, where similar species of aphides infest the young leaves and buds of roses, China asters, beans, and other garden- plants, and are confounded, in common parlance, under the vulgar name of blight, with a multitude of other insects, as well as with cold winds, parching suns, & c. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— On the 13th inst. as a man named Parkes, in the employ of Mr. Pearce, millwright, of Bristol, was repairing the cogs of the mill ot Boydmill factory, Corsham, owing to his propping the wheel iu an insecure manner, the in- creasing pressure of the water upon the wheel at length crushed a stone in the wall against which the prop was fixed, when the works were set going, and Parkes, in pulling the boy ( who was in danger) out of the way, got himself entangled between the cogs, so that his right arm from the wrist to the elbow was laid bare to the bone, and five of his ribs were crushed. His life was at first despaired of; but we are happy to state that there are now some faint hopes of his recovery. This should operate as a caution to all millwrights, either to well secure the wheel in such cases, or to throw the shaft out of gear. REVIEW IN HYDE PARK— On Tuesday the Coldstream regiment of Foot Guards marched into Hyde Park, for the purpose of being reviewed by Lord Hill, the Commander of the forces. The line was formed at lialf- past nine o'clock, with the right extending to the Serpentine river, and the left, towards Bayswater. At ten o'clock the gallant general, attended by his staff, arrived on the ground, and was received with a general salute. The general then proceeded along the front of the line from right to left, and afterwards along the rear ; he then took a Common position iu the front of the line, w hen Colonel M'Donnell put his troops through a variety of movements.— The gallant general then advanced to the centre of the line, attended by his staff, and expressed his satisfaction to Colonel M' Donnell, at the high state of discipline which the troops had dis- played on the occasion. There was a numerous assemblage of general officers of distinction on the ground, among whom were noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, dressed in the uniform of the Coldstream Guards; his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland ; Sir Henry To'rrens, Adjutant General; General Macrlonald, Deputy ditto; Sir Willoughby Gordon, Quarter Master General ; Sir Richard Jackson, Deputy ditto; and Sir A. Bernard, one of the aid- de- camps to his Majesty. The troops left the ground between twelve and one o'clock. Last week, a melancholy affliction occurred in the family of Joseph Mason, Esq. of Couleen, in the county of Limerick. His daughter, Miss Mason, a most amiable and interesting young lady, about 18 years of age, went to bathe in the river Mague, which ran close by her father's house. The previous rains having suddenly swollen the river to a con- siderable height, she was unfortunately carried off'by the rapidity of the curreut, and drowned, before any assistance could reach her. SUPPRESSION OF THE JESUITICAL COLLEGES.— A Royal ordinance has just been issued for the purpose of suppressing the establishments of Jesuits in France. It seems fo carry the exclusion of those fathers from the business of education, as far as the existing laws will permit. We may mention, that they were licensed to open their houses at once for pupils intended for the church, and for youth of all classes. The latter being often the sons of the wealthy and the noble, were the chief supporters of the Jesuitical schools, at which the former often received gratuitous instruction. The Jesuits, as a religious order, are not permitted by their laws to take money for their labours in their work of edu- cation,— their pupils must pay for their board, and receive their instruction for nothing. It is necessary for them, therefore, to have rich boarders, that they may be able to instruct poor ecclesiastics, and support the present establishment, or house of the Professed near Paris. The ordinance, therefore, by prohibiting the establishment under Jesuit professors from receiving a mixture of clerical and lay pupils, effectually destroys them. It, moreover, transfers them from the jurisdiction of the bishops, to that of the University, and then prohibits the administration of the University from employing Jesuits as teachers in any of the establishments depending upon it. The eight schools mentioned in the ordinance educate at present nearly 3,000 pupils. That at St. Acheul, near Amiens, is rich, numerously attended, and under the direction of very able professors. EDUCATION.— On this important subject, a concise essay has appeared, with a preface from the pen of the Rev. Brian Hill, who observes that the essay " contains many striking thoughts, and is, I think, calculated to be highly beneficial to those who are concerned in the education of children ; and it will, I flatter myself, fall into the hands of some, who will make a fair trial of the mode of education which it recommends."— The profits arising from this publica- tion will be given to the Sunday School Society for Ireland.— See Ad, vert. SALT SPRINGS or CHESHIRE.— 1The highest pro- portions of pure muriate of soda ( common salt) which has been found in the salt springs in Cheshire, is 26.566 per cent ; but 25 per cent, is the more usual proportion. The earthy salts, which are held in solution along with it, are muriate of magnesia and sulphate of lime ( Paris plaster), varying from six- tenths to 2, or 2.5, per cent.— Geological Trans. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT GLOUCESTER.— Three lives lost !— Ori Saturday last, the proprietor of a row of buildings called Norman's Court, near the Quay, Gloucester, employed several men to empty a large and deep vault, which received the contents of the oflices belonging to eight or nine houses. An aperture having been made in the arch of the vault, five men commenced the undertaking about 12 o'clock at night, and by 2 in the morning they had reduced the contents upwards of 8 feet, leaving only about 12 inches of soil at the bottom. A man named John Steel, who descended by means of a rope to complete the job, unfortunately left the aperture, and went under the covered part of the drain. His com- panions waited some time, and hearing no noise, became apprehensive, and David Watkins went down to his assistance. In a few minutes, however, a dead silence ensued, and Samuel Powick courageously followed to ascertain the fate of his comrades; but finding himself overcome by the effects of the foul air, he made a signal with the rope and was speedily drawn up. He uttered a few words faintly, and was ca » -. ied to his home, where he was bled by Mr. Williams, surgeon, who rendered every assistance that medical skill and humanity could supply; but his efforts were unavailing, as the cold hand of Death had already secured its victim— and within half an hour of his being removed from the fatal vault, poor Powick had ceased to breathe. The alarm now be- came general, and the day broke upon a mourning group, who tilled the air with the voice of wailing, lamentation, and despair, for the untimely and miser- able death of their fathers and husbands. An inquest was held on the bodies on Monday, before S. Charlton, Esq. Coroner for the city, and a verdict of Accidental Death, occasioned by Suffocation with Foul Air, returned in each case. This melancholy event has created a great sensation throughout the city and its neighbourhood, aud we hope the sympathising hand of Charity w ill be extended to the relief of the widows and orphans, w ho are now left destitute by so afflict- ing a visitation of Providence. SMALL DEBTS' BILL..— This bill has just been printed by order of the House of Commons. It enacts that the jurisdiction of the county courts shall extend to debts of £ 10 in amount, such courts to be holden at least every two months; a jury of not less than five shall he impannelled to try the causes ; all persons qualified for nisi prius jurors may serve on these juries, and no others shall be empowered to sit in these courts. Suits to be brought within three years ; and action to be tried in the district where a defendant resides. No debt to be divided to bring it within the jurisdiction of the court, but all excess above £ 10 ntay be given up for that purpose. Persons under age may sue in these courts for wages. All parties in a suit may be examined.— The court to regulate the costs, and magistrates to determine the fees of their courts ; but no fee to be allowed to barristers, nor more than ten shillings to attornies.— Execution may issue imme- diately to enforce the decision of the court; and no person to commence a trial w ly> owes any costs from a previous one. If plaintiffs sue in superior courts for debts which might be recovered in county courts, they shall not have costs nor execution against the person, unless the judge certify that there was probable cause of action to the amount exceeding £ 10. SELF- SOWN SEEDS.— It is a remarkable fact, well known to florists, that self- sown seeds usually produce natural flowers, whatever the plant may have been from which they were scattered ; that is, however fine in colour, size, or form, a flower ntav have been rendered by cultivation, when it is allowed to shed its seed on the ground, the plants thence arising will again degenerate into the common appearance of its wild original. We have a striking instance of the tact m our own garden at this moment, in fhe case of the carnation poppy ( Papaver rhceas), which is so much admired when double and varied in colour ; and we had some last year of numerous shades, and as double as garden roses. Several seedlings from these came up last autumn, and stood the winter, and are just come into flower ; but all of them are of the same orange- red tint with the wild corn poppy, and nearly single. Had the seed been saved, and kept out of the ground till spring, the same double flowers, ot varied tints, would have been produced. In the case of heart's- ease ( Viola tricolor), which sports in so many beautiful varieties, a similar degeneration takes place, the self- sown seeds producing almost uniformly small dingy blossoms, of little beauty, compared with the fine varieties produced by carefully drying the seed, and keeping it for some months out of the ground. Balsam seed, it is said, will not produce fine double- flowered plants unless it he kept for nine years. — Athenwum.

THE GLOVE TRADE.— It having been deemed advisable that a deputation of the Glove Trade should wait upon Mr. Courtenay, the Vice- President of the Board of Trade, to represent their grievances to him, several gentlemen from Worcester, London, and other towns, accompanied by the Members for Wor- cester, and the Members for Hereford, agreeable to appointment, had an interview with that gentleman on Thursday. Mr. Courtenay received them with great courtesy, and heard with patience and attention the whole of their statements ; but, unfortunately for the Glove Trade, the importation of Gloves, and the duty upon them, was, from theirs/, madepermanent, and not like that on Silks, for two years only, and which the manufacturers were not before aware of ;" the consequence is, that the trade can' only be relieved by a new Bill, which, at this advanced period of the Session, cannot be done. Mr. Courtenay, liowever, promised to give their representations his best consideration, and would also lay them be lure the other Members of the Administration, but he was fearful to hold out the hope that Government would consent again to return to a total prohibition of Foreign Gloves, it being quite contrary to their views on the subject; but if any alteration in the duties, or the details of the measure, could be pointed out by the glove manufacturers, which would relieve them, he could assure them his Majesty's Government would be anxious to meet their views.— From the official returns it appears Ihat 140,410 dozens of Gloves have been imported within one year and three quarters, which, had they been manufactured in this country, would upon a fair and moderate calculation, have yielded, for labour alone, the sum of £ 53,356. 4s. It cannot, therefore, but be acknow- ledged that the manufacturers, and the operatives, have had ample cause to complain of the Free Trade System— a system which ( if not modified) will subvert and undermine the vital interests of many of our important cities and towns—- and eventually of the country. MYSTERIOUS AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.— On Monday forenoon, about 11 o'clock, a girl named Frame was accosted near Oldham- road, Manchester, by a woman, who asked her to take a cake she showed her, to the shop of Mr. S. Drunnnond, milk- dealer, Richmond- street, Oldham- road, and she would give her a shilling for her pains. The girl declined the commission, notwithstanding the temptation held out to her; but a little boy, named J. Thompson, 7 years old, who was passing at the time, and who said he knew Mr. Drummond's shop, undertook the message. The woman accordingly gave him the cake and two sixpences, desiring him to deliver the former at Mr. Drummond's, and to say Mrs. M'Cann had sent it. Mrs. Drummond, to whom the boy presented the cake, having no acquaintance of the name of M'Cann, desired hint to take it back; and he went away with it, but soon returned and left it, saying he was sure that was the right place. Mrs. Drummond then placed the cake upon a shelf, expecting to hear further from the person who had sent it. The little boy was so much delighted with the shilling he had thus easily earned, that he immediately repaired to the factory of Mr. Faulkner, in Jersey- street, where his mother, Grace Thompson, worked,, and informed her of the circumstance. The mother, thinking that the shilling must have been intended for Mr. Drum- mond and not for her child, sent a young woman with the lad to Mrs. Druminond's, to request she would take charge of the shilling, and that she would give the lad the cake for his trouble. Mrs Drum- mond, however, expecting to hear further from the person who sent the cake, sent word to that effect to the hoy's mother, and in the mean time retained both the cake and the shilling. At seven o'clock in the evening, Grace Thompson called at Mrs. D.' s, and the cake not having been claimed, Mrs. Drummond gave it up to Mrs. Thompson. She immediately gave part of it to a little girl, the child of a neigh- bour, named Wellins, and other parts of it were divided among her own little boy ( mentioned above), his brother John, aged 10, his cousin, Susannah Rigby, aged 4, another child only 2 years of age, an old woman upwards of 60, named Margaret Mason, lier son Ebenezer, a lad of 14, to a little girl named Mosely, and a boy named Johnstone,— making in all nine persons. In the course of a short time after eating the cake, the whole of these persons grew ex- tremely ill, and most of them began to vomit. Graca Thompson, upon seeing this, immediately ran back to Mrs. Drummond's, and having got the shilling from her, purchased an emetic, and administered it to those who had eaten of the cake. The girl Mosely and the boy Johnstone were conveyed to the infirmary, and next morning the old woman Mason, and her son, were also conveyed thither. S. Rigby, who had eaten more plentifully of the cake than the others, grew worse during the night, and died at half- past nine next morning. The others are all gradually re- covering. Mr. and Mrs. Drummond, for the de- struction of whose family the cake was, no doubt, intended, have five young children, but fortunately none of them partook of it.— An inquest was held on the body of Susannah Rigby, on Thursday; pre- paratory to which the body was opened by Mr. Oilier, who discovered the most unequivocal symp- toms of death having been caused by arsenic. * The remainder of the cake was also analysed, and a large" quantity of arsenic discovered in it. After hearing some evidence, the inquest was adjourned to Friday. The police are still indefatigable in their endeavours to discover the offender. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.— An event without a parallel in the annals of marine misfortune occurred on board the brig Mary Russell, Captain Stewart, of this port, on her passage home from Barbadoes, which arrived in Cove this day. There were on board, besides the master and mate, eight men and four boys, in all 14 persons ; and of these six sailors and a naval gentleman, coming passenger in her, were found dead in the cabin on Monday morning last, by Captain Callender, of the Mary Stubbs, of Belfast, ( which . was also on her passage from Barba- does, and spoke the Mary Russell on the above morning in lat. 50 N. longitude 15 W.) having been killed on the day before by the captain, in longitude 19, according to the statement of the four boys to Captain Callender. The cause assigned by the mas- ter to Captain Callender was an attempt on the part of the crew to mutiny, and his apprehensions, in consequence, that they would take away his life; but to save himself he succeeded in inducing them to submit to be tied in the cabin, each singly before another was called down; and when all were thus rendered powerless, he put those seven to death with a crow- bar, the mate, named Smith, and a sailor named Howes, having, by some means, extricated themselves and escaped death, after being wounded in several places. It appears he was in the act of tying the boys also when the Mary Stubbs hove in sight; but desisted in order to hail her. Captain Callender held by the Mary Russell during Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday, and saved Captain Stewart from being drowned, he having leaped into the sea twice for that purpose. Yesterday morning again, for the third time, he flung himself over- board, off Castletown, Berehaven, and was taken up safe by a hooker then present, the Mary Stubbs being at the time before the wind, and running at the rate of six miles an hour. A warrant for the apprehension of Captain Stewart having been issued by Sir Anthony Perrier, on the information of Captain Callender, which was sent to the authorities in the West, and a coroner's inquest being about to be held on the bodies of the seven men, we withhold, for obvious reasons, giving any additional details at present.— Cork Southern Reporter, June 26.—[ The Coroner's Jury found that Capt. Stewart was insane.] BANKRUPTS, Jtu.
