WORMS DESTROYED, MEDICINE never witnessed a more important Discovery than in PRITCHETT's VEGETABLE VERMIFUGE, a Remedy that, con- trary to all others, neither Purges, Vomits, nor other, wise affects the Constitution ; requires no Conliiiement- hau neither Taste nor- Smell, and is so harmless that it ifiay be taken by an Infant of an Hour old ; yet never, VII one instance, failed destroying every Worm in. the Body, of which ample and undoubtedTestiino . ies are given with it. It is the actual Discovery of a Medical Practitioner of • Eminence, who may be readily referred to, and who solemnly asserts it contains not a Particle of Calomel, Scaminonv, Gamboge, or other drastic Article.

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 Anliinonial 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, and 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 little, by removing obstructions they cause the food to pass to its respective parts ; becoming a good restorative and pre- servative of health to both sexes, and to those of costive habit a truly valuable treasure.

COUMEB OF WALES, LONDON— SATURDAY. The dispatches brought hv a Russian courier from Lord Heytesbury, yesterday, were dated Odessa,. August 28- Intelligence had reached his ' ord- * h » p of a vigorous sortie froru Varna, in which prince JVlenchikofT had received a severe wound, and great apprehensions were entertained for bis life. Count Woronzow, the Governor of Odessa, who formerly commanded the Russian contingent in France, bad been appointed to succeed Prihce IVlencbikoff in the command of that portion of the Russian army which was operating against Varna. There was consider^ able sickness in the Russian army, and among the deaths was mentioned that of General BenJ^ endorf, a brother of the Princess Leiven, an officer of great merit, and highly esteemed.— Nothing- material had occurred before Choumla, except that General Rudi- ger had sustained a check in consequence of advanc- ing too far in pursuit of a Turkish corps, which lie had driven back, He is, said to have lost one gun apd two hundred men.. The French journals contain no further news from the seat of war. In the papers of Wednesday two articles from Odessa and Constantinople were given. The former supposes it to be the intention of the Emperor Nicholas, to carry on operations beyond the Balkan this campaign, after the capture of Varna, keeping Choumla blockaded, The blockading army is however oftetv harassed by sortie, and in a recent sally, a jarge supply of oxen dest ned for the Russian army was cut ofi'. The Constantinople article re- peals, that the Sultan is determined upon making the most obstinate resistance, and that the war is becom- ing every day more national. On the heights about Constantinople an army of 200,000 foot, and 80,000 horsp, is. to, be assembled under, the immediate com- mand of the S. u! t; m himself. Intrenchments are erecting-, which, a re to be defended by three hundred pieces. of cannon. Important intelligence has reached town from Odessa. The Emperor of Russia has at length made up his mind to avail himself of 1 he proffered assistance i} f the . vervitms, who are represented as only waiting his assent, and the entrance of a Russian corps on their territory, to rebel against the Pore. With ! his. view Gen. Geismar, who commanded in Lesser Wal- lachia, has received powerful reinforcements, ami was about forthwith < o transfer the seat of war into fe'rvia.-- Odessa is represented as most brilliant in consequence of the presence of the Emperor and i> mpress, the Court, and a numerous < iipiomatic body. The Emperor y/ e^ s. tq return to the army as soon as ail the reuiforceuieuis should have arrived, when o: Tensiye operations. Wi re to be resumed with fresh vigour. Dispatches from Lisbon this morning, dated the 6th inst. announce the capture of Madeira by the expedi- tion from Portugal-. The sat, irtdrcn appeared oil' the island on the lii/ h, tl^ e troops < Iisembarked on the 22 1. On the some slight skirmishing took place, and on the following- day the new governor landed, and took possession of the place. The feebleness of the resistance had surprised all. The late governor Valdez and others of the. principal inhabitants had taken refuge on board: an English ship of war. According to the latest accounts from Columbia, the delegation to. Bolivar- of powers apparently abso- lute, had be; n hailed with, great satisfaction in Vene- zuela, as well as in £ acc. bag'> na, Chagres, Panama, and the other principal, sea- ports which the intelli- gence had reach? !} but before the news could have spread oyer half the republic, Bolivar had declared his intention- of invading Perw. The Admiralty arrangements have at length been nettled, and Lord Melville succeeds the Linke of Clarence. The Board will consist, as formerly, of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and four other Lords, Lord. EUenborongh w, ll. siioceed Lord Mel- yi34e as President- ofthe Board of Controul. - Courier. The office of L'rd Privy Seal, vacated by the appointment of Lord Ellenborough to succeed Lord Melville at the Board of Controu!,. is. not- yet titled lip. The only change at the Admiralty, it is understood, will be the return of Admiral? Owen to the Ordnance Vi Surveyor- General, in the room of Sir Herbert Taylor*, and the appointment y Admiral Sir T. M. Mardv to succeed Sir Owen at the Admiralty B > a d The cause oflhe late fluctuations in India Bonds is at length explained in an announcement from the East India House, that the interest on those securities, at the end of six months is to be reduced from four to three per cent., per annum. Suspicions, had fyeen previously afloat that such a measure was contem- plated ; but tiiey had nearly died away, and the justice thereof produced a vej- y lively sensation on \ Yednesday in the money market. The premium on the bonds fell- at once from 102s. to 75s. and at the close of the market it was 85s. As the amount of > ndia Bonds in circulation is somewhere about 4,000,000, a saving will be effected by the reduction, if it can be accomplished, of about £ 40,000 per an- num.— A general impression exists that the reduction on India Bonds will be followed by a redaction of the interest on Exchequer bills. The Gloucester Journal, referring to t- ie statement, of a morning paper, that the representation of that city was likely to become vacant, says 44 YVe believe it to be totally un; uithsenticated, and the writer has merely betrayed his entire ignorance, or wilful • perversion, of the real slate of our local politics."

On Monday last, a numerous and most respectable party of the friends and tenantry of Richard Jenkins, Esq. of Bicton Hall, dined together at the Raven Inn, in this town, in celebration of the birth of a son and heir to that respected gentleman : we need not add, that the dinner, wines, & c. did great credit to the house and were duly honoured.— At night, Mrs. Jenkins gave a ball and sumptuous entertainment, at the Abbey Mouse, to the tenantry and . tradesmen of the family, when a numerous party assembled ; the preparations were of the first order, and did the highest credit to the taste and arrangement of Mrs. Richards.— The occasion of this entertainment was not mo- e gratifying, than the spirit in which it was partaken of; and every one was delighted with the urbanity and condescension of the several branches of so welcome an addition. Monday being appointed a grand field- day for commemorating the Birth of a Son and Heir to the worthy House of Bicton, the banner of conviviality was hoisted at the Halfway House, and the natives, neither last nyr least, nor quite ten miles from head- quarters, assembled in dozens, with their country cousins, and manifested all the joy that their warmest hearts, could wish, Or their hopes aspire to. Fire, water, earth, and air, all combined to furnish the feast; and at three o'clock a general, simultaneous, and preconcerted attack was made with a precision and effect that would have been worthy the veterans of Seringapatam, or the heroes of Setabuldy ! Plenti- ful libations were liberally poured out by a certain jolly god who shall here be nameless, and in a short time the hopeful infant was well wet from stem to stem- r— thoroughly christened — and made as good a man as his father! Songs, duets, glees, and trios, were chaunted by village amateurs, for the twofold purpose of the amusement of the company, and the proud vanity of self- satisfaction. Hilarity and har mony reigned and prevailed to a late hour; nor ceased to prevail at an early one: when at length the company, having wished every good wish, mate- rially assisted the revenue, and encouraged the growth of barley, departed in peace: and topp and bottom endeavoured— by tracing curvilinea) lines along the various roads— to find their siraighiest nay home. Visiting, Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. C. Bury :— House- Visitors, Mr. J. Fowen and Mr. YV. Morris. TIII? ROMAN CATHOIJC QUESTTOV.— We beg to call the public attention to two letters on this subject, which appear in our colurns to- day : the one from the pen of Lord Ken yon, the other from one of our own Correspondents of the highest respectability. THE IRISH CHURCH.— Lord Kilmorey, because an endowment cannot be made for the vicarage of Newrv without the aid of Parliament, has taken upon himself the expense of such an act, and resolved to endow the vicar and his successors with an income of £ 200 per annum, and £ 75 each for two curates. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bath arrived on Tuesday se'nnight at Longleat, after an absence of nearly four years, spent chiefly in an extensive tour on the continent of Europe. The bells of the sur- rounding parishes rang merrily, in token of the general joy at the return of this Noble family to their mansion, The poor of the neighbourhood owe a large debt of gratitude to his Lordship, for continuing, during- his absence, full employment of labour, thereby contributing to the support of their moral character, as. well as to their bodily comforts. A- re kirn of the sport at Lichfield Races will be found in our 4th page.— The cocking was put a stop to by the Magistrates, and vigorous efforts were made to prevent other kinds of low gambling. CORONER'S INQUEST. On the 4th instant, an Inquest was taken, at the dwelling house of Samuel Richards, of Sascott, in the parish of Pontesbury, in this county, before John YVoilaston, Esq. Coroner, on view of the body of William Broxton, butcher, then and there lying dead, when the several persons undermentioned were examined, and gave the testimony subjoined:— THOMAS MILKMAN, of Nox, blacksmith. -- On Monday, the Ist of September, 1 was going along' the footpath leading from Sascott to Nox; I was then in company with " William Bioxton and James Gidwell; they were both drunk; they began to quarrel; William Broxton then stripped and chal- lenged James Gidwell to fight ; James Gidwell begged of him to be qnH? t, as he did not want to do any thing with him; they then fought, both meeting in a regular way; it , . . . was quite dark; in the first round, i saw James Gidwell the ancient family whose happiness has just received J knock William Broxton down by a blow on the chest; William Broxton got up himself, and fought the second round; they then both went down together; and after this round Broxton could fight no more, for he appeared to be in a dvnnken state; when James Gidwell' spoke to him, he made him no answer; then James Gidwell placed Broxton'sjacket on him and left him. SAM DEI. RICHARDS, of Sascott.—- In the morning of Tues- day, the 2d of September, between 5 and 6 o'clock, I was going from my house to Crnckton ; near lo the footpath 1 saw William Broxtou laying; I took him to he asleep and very much in liquor, and did not disturb him; 1 saw Gidwell coming, and turned back and met him; I said to Gidwell, " there's poor Broxton laying very drunk; sure, you have not been fighting him ?" my . reason for asking that was, because I saw a little blood on " Broxton's month; he answered me, " No, I have not;" 1 went on to my work, and told him to get him up and take him to my bouse, and get him warm, for he was veiy cold; and when I " returned home at night I found him dead. RICHARD RTCTIARDS, of Sascott.— On Tuesday morning, the 2d of September, my mother called me > ut of bed, for Gidwell had told her that Broxton was laying on the footpath near to our house ; I went to Mr. Lloyd's! - for assistance, and his son John came, for Gidwell had gone to Mr. Lloyd's to see for a horse, that he might go for a surgeon; Mr. Lloyd sent his son for Mr. Tudor; Gidwell and Mr. Lloyd's wa'g- goner came to me lo where Broxton was, and assisted to take him to our house; this was about six in the morning; he was helpless and speechless; and he died about 4 in the evening oft he same day ; the jacket had been put carefully over his chest. EDWARD TUDOR, of Yoekleton, surgeon." Being called upon on the morning of tbe' 2d September, to attend William Broxton, of Yoekleton, who had been found in a field at Sascott in an insensible state, 1 found him at the house of Samuel Richards, at Sascott, in a state of insensibility, with an intermitting weak pulse, excessively cold, with every appearance of apoplexy; he was immediately put in a warm bath, and blood was attempted to he taken from his arm, but a very small quantity was obtained; and he expired about 4 o'clock in the evening of the same day. Having been directed by the Coroner to examine the bead and body of the deceased, the following were the appearances:— On raising the scalp, a small bruise was observed on the right parital bone; on raising the dura mater, a large coagulum appeared between the two hemispheres of the brain, occasioned by the rupture of the vessels of the brain ; the external appearances of the body were— a contusion on the breast- bone, a consider- able bruise oil the right side of the abdomen, and a scar on the right ribs ; the thoracic viscera were sound, as likewise the abdominal, with the exception of very slight inflamma- tion of about three inches of the small intestines immediately under the contusion.—- I am convinced that William Broxton came by his death from apoplexy, brought on by excessive drunkenness and exposure all night nearly naked in the barley- stubble where be was found. The Jury, which was composed of the most re- spectable persons in the vicinity, returned their verdict—" That William BroxtotiLS death was from apoplexvy produced by excessive drunkenness and exposure to the atmosphere in almost perfect naked- ness. " The Premium offered by the Committee for the best Plan for effecting the Improvements at Cross Hill, and for performing the several works, was adjudged, after a public competition, to Mr. Porter, of Oswestry, who is appointed engineer for carrying the same into execution. The Annual Meeting of the GOOD SAMARITAN SOCIETY has just been held in St. John's Chapel. A very interesting report of the operations of the Society was read ; which states that during the past year 157 Sick Persons have been relieved with the sum of £ 63. 4s. 9^ d. and that in distributing this sum 592 visits had been made. We are sorry to observe, there still remains a balance of upwards of £ 2 due to the Treasurer, and we regret this the more as the winter demands on its fund are so great. Committed to our County Gaol, William Bromley, charged with stealing a wheelbarrow wheel, the pro- perty of John Hiles; and Michael Lynch, charged with stealing a steel, value two shillings, the property of Elizabeth Harvey.

Codrington, and at the Foreign Offiee from Mr. Stratford Canning.— The evacuation of the ] Worea has been arranged by Sir E. Codrhi^ ton, wh<> has eidered into an agiee^ sent with the Pacha of Egypt tor the removal of the Egyptian troops from the Morea to Egypt. The transports for their con- veyance were on their passage, under convoy of a British ship of war.— It is stated, that by this agree; xnent the Pacha was to restore all the Greek slaves sent to Egypt after the battle of Wavarin, and Ibrahim was to surrender- all the Greek slaves in his possession. The I gyptian subjects taken prisoners by the Greeks were to be set at liberty, as well as the otBcers and crcw of the Egyptian corvette captured by the Russians off Modon. Ibrahim has received the nepessary orders from his father, and is, in come tjuence, making every preparation to embark the troops, as soon as the transports arrive. The French expedition was understood to have arrived off the coast of the IVlorea — The despatches from Mr. Stratford Canning were dated on tlie 29th ult. at Zante. He expected to proceed in a few days to Egina, whither the members of the Greek Govern rnent Vyere understood to have removed from Poros, in consequence of sickness in the latter island. Despatches have been received from l ord Heytesr bury, at Od( Jssa, dated the 28th ot August. Intelli- g< nee bad just been received of a sortie from Varna, in which Prince Menzikoff received a severe wound, and great apprehensions were entertained for his life. Count, Woronzow, the Governor of Odessa, had been appointed to succeed in the command of that portion of the Kussian army. Considerable sickness prevailed, and among the deaths was mentioned that of General Beckeudorf, a brother of the Princess Lieven. Nothing- ptiaterial had occured before Schomnia, except that General Rudiger had sustained a check. He is said tore Jost one gun and 200 men, SIR,-- The attempt, made, on Wednesday last to alter the situation of our Cattle Fairs in Shrewsbury, vyill not, I am afraid, i. tk} to the character of Salopians for foresight or prac- tical knowledge of the. subjects; oa which their local legislatures j interest thenise! ves. A feeling bus for some t? mf> gajned ground, that a more suitable situation for our- Cattle Fairs than what has from time immemorial existed, ought to be found t this* feeling, however, cannot be said to tye general, because, t'> many who carry on busi'nc> s in and adjacent to the thoroughfares occupied by the Cattle, See. on Fair Days, the removal of the Fairs to any great distance, would be ruinous, while, as was experienced on Wed- nesday taut, their removal at all will be injurious to several shopkeepers, who have been accustomed to dispose of their goods to those \ yho attend 011 such days. This latter evil, iho'ugh happily but vtry partial, must, however, be the con- fluence or any removal of the Fairs to other sites: -— and it confirms the view taken of the subject by more, than three hundred respectable householders and ratepayers, who, justly deprecating the scheme recommended for removing the Fairs altogether from the town, signed a Petition to the Mayor and Body Corporate, praying that, the Fairs might; not be removed to any situation'" that would deprive the tradesmen, & c. of the town of the benefits derived by the influx of persons whom business b htgs into jf on those occasions. That Corporation, as conservators of the public interests of ilk town and i; s inhabitants, could have no sinister object in giving the directions for holding the Cattle Fair in the stations directed for such occupation 011 Wednesday last, must be admitted; but it, appears most strange, that any one could suppose, that what some respectable persons carrying on busi- ness in the trading streets of the town deem a nuisance, should not be a much greater nuisance to those certainly not less respectable individuals who occupy the principal houses in the town, and whudi are thus occupied, because they are situated in those places that have hitherto been deemed more exclu- sively appropriated to the residence of . hat class, of whom it would be well if a larger portiou could be induced to reside among us. If, indeed, the plan adopted on Wednesday be persisted in, l am afraid thnt class will become still fewer in Shrewsbury; and only one step more would be vvji^ tpig. to place our muni- cipality in the iist* of those' sapient bodies, who have injured be\ omi redemption the respectability and best interests of the local eoipmumiies iu a great degree committed to their charge. That one step has, 1 am told, been threatened, probably only by way of feeler-— namely, the occupation of our boasted, our beautiful, but ahead}' too much neglected and too much degraded Q. UA BRY, for the purposes of the Cattle Fairs!!! If such should be the real, though as yet partly concealed intention, there can be 110 difficulty in the public toeing thejr way through the present dilemma, and the regulations of Wednesday last v^ re, indeed, a very appropriate prelude to the work of degradation •. but i can assure the parties, the scheme will not take. Jt has long been in contemplation to remove the London Smitbfield to a new site i and 1 should like to see the individual or the body tliat would propose its removal to either St. James's, the Regent's, or Hyds Park!!! Such proposal, however, would be just as sane, and the plan just as ornamental, and just as likely to be promulg. id- wit hout the most effect pa I opposition, as the occupation of Shrewsbury Uuarry for a similar purpose. As, however, we ought not to arraign the expressions of a few individuals as the sentiments of the Body Corporate, 1 shall not dwell on this part of the subject. I hope 1 shall never witness a repetition of the scenes of altercation exhibited ' 011 Wednesday last; and I trust that when a definite plan for the removal and holding of our Fairs shall be adopted, it will be one that will be more consonant, to common sense, to public convenience,- and to the interests of the town, than those to which my remarks have been directed. If the jolan of Wed, nesdav last should, however, be prolonged, our Fairs will soon dwindle away. A scheme that obliges purchasers to walk nearly two miles up yud down before they can see the who. le of the Cattle and return to a lot that has caught their attention early in their progress, is not very likely to attract the buyers, nor can it be other than disadvantageous to the sellers. Some of the former 011 Wednesday last, said that mode of doing business would not suit them, and if it were continued, they would no longer attend our Fairs; if they leave, the sellers must of course go to the markets they will frequent; a result that, J trust, a re- consideration of the matter by those in authority among us, wjll be the means of preventing. 1 remain, Sir, Your obedjent servant, OBSERVER. The works of the Liverpool and Manchester Rail- way are proceeding- with great rapidity ; and it is anticipated that the whole will be completed in less than two years from the present time. The cost of this great work will be about £ 600,000, To lite Rditor of the Salopian Journal. SJR,— Iii venturing to offer a few remarks 011 tlie loug- agit'iled question ofOatholio Emancipation, i do so, not having the vanity lo suppose that any thing new uny full from my pen, but fairly to suggest a few hints to the loyal inhabitants of . this and the neigh- honring counties. This question, so long before the public eye, so often canvassed in either Hou-. e of Cm liainent, eomes before the people of Great Britain with a new and ( in my opinion) a most appalling aspect. Hitherto these claims have been. ur » ed, and arguments have been founded, on the loyal, and peace- able disposition of the Uoniau Catholics of both realms. That, at least, can no longer he an argument. Far be it from me, however, to impugn the conduct or patriotism of tii" Fuglish Roman Catholic': no, man living regrets more than i do that the names ofTnlbot, of Clifford', and of Flo ward, and of others celebrated in the brightest pages of liritish chivalry, should not be found enrolled among their country's rulers • but feeling strongly as 1 do— per Ira ps strong er than many who talk loudest an the question — I have ever thought it the first principle of a patriot to subject his feelings to bis duty. And it is because 1 consider the admis- sion of any Roman Catholic injurious in the highest rico reeto the Established Church, that 1 always have, and, were 1 the last man in England, 1 always will, resist any such concession The question is nominally whether you will admit Roman Catholics to be members of each House of Parliament ; and the d< maud is made on this plea, that any prohibition which involves matters of faith is inconsistent with the Biitish Constitution. Now, without going further at present, 1 should just like to consider on what foundation this plea- rests. The Roman Catholic is excluded from taking his seat in Parliament in consequence of his WVN RFBUSAI, to take two paths, which every Protestant Member is obliged to take. The first is the Oath of Supremacy, whereby the party concerned swears " that no Foreign Prelate hath ( by law, according to the regular interpretation of the words,.) or ought to have any power, ecclesiastical or temporal, in these realms." ] s that, I would ask, au oath which any real patriot ought to refuse to take ; and is he who does refuse to take it a proper person to be entrusted with the Government of this kingdom ? That is the Hrst ; the second is one exclusively relating to points of doctrine in the Romish Creed ; and this is what is more peculiarly obnoxious to the allies of the Popish Faction. The origin of this oath, however, ought to be well understood before it is generally condemned. When it was found that Papists came into Parliament and voted, thereby endangering the pcaee and inde- pendency of the kingdom and the very existence of the church, and this too in defiance of the oath of supremacy, the general cry of the nation was for their exclusion. The oath of supremacy being evaded, if became necessary to have recourse to some other oath, by which Papists might he excluded : and it being found that nothing but an oath which touched on doctrinal points would have that eii'tct, the Oath against Transubsianiion was proposed and passed. The on J h is not meant to be ayninst the Roman Catho- lics— it is against the Papists, and if the. two are inseparable, the Protestants of the realm are justly en- tilled, in my opinion, to demand the exclusion of boih. I never yet could understand on what principle these ojtihs were contrary to the rights of a British freeman. Every native of this country has, by the prifrcipie of the constitution, free and unmolested liberty to wor- ship his God as lie pleases ; but does the oath infringe that principle ? The oath is solely for the exclusion of subjects of a foreign power, and was, as 1 have stated, invented for that express purpose. Away, then, with this claim of right, and let us see if the allurements of policy are of that description^, that we should at once and unhesitatingly accept them Ireland, unhappy ii eland, is the only part of the empire to which, iu treating this subject on political grounds, or as a question of expediency, we simul- taneously direct our views. It is said that by the admission of Roman Cat Indies lo power we should at once consolidate every * cci in the empire, to the ailvauccincnt of the welfare of ibeir country. As far as might be consistent with the promotion of their own religion, 1 believe it might be so; hut is not that the ca> » e now ? The exclusion of Papists from power was solely on political grounds, namely on their adhesion to a foreign sovereign 5 — is that adhesion less now I The Oath of Supremacy was invented for the protection of the Church ; it was evaded, and in dulgeucies for the perjury liberally granted. Have the Papists of Ireland of present times shewn such increased affection anil toleration towards the Pro testant Church, that \ 0.11 think them pio> e trustworthy than { heir ancestors ? That peace might.. he restored lo Inland, and that beauteous .. island made, as it ought to be, an addition and strength to Britain, instead of a curse and a weakness, no ijjiin is more anxious than myself; hut I ( rouf ss 1 do " ot see how that is to be done by granting more power to those who already defy the lawful powers. 1 do not see how the Church iu Ireland is to lie secured by grant- ing more power 10 those who have publicly ( leclmefl that they seek dominion and authority, merely for the sake of re- establishing their own and subverting the Protestant Religion. I am one of ihose who consider Protestantism and l iberty as plants, if not growing from the same stock, at least uniting inseparably together, and growing closer and firmer every sticceedingyear. And w here, I w » > u! d ask, is Popery predominant, and not Popish Tyranny? Is it in Ireland, vi here it needs but the' proscription of the individual by the priest, and before night his doom is accomplished ? Is it in Spain or Portugal, where Liberty has tried indeed to rear her head, and after a few vain struggles lias vanished and is gone? But if on political, how much more on reliyious grounds, ought every English Spirit to rouse himself and say, u thus far have we gone, but no further will we go,-. Does any man supposethat the whole representation " of " Ireland may he Roman Catholic, as it will un- doubtedly le j . that the whole executive power, with, perhaps, the exception of a nominal Protestant Vice- roy, shall be Roman Catholic, and the Protestant (" hutch remain the Established Church? ' I he idea is too absuid — it is impossible. Now, then, is the time when alone that Church can be saved; too much has already been conceded, and perhaps you dread lo recal that boon apd fear to excite loo much animosity The contest, however, must coine ; and ( as a Noble lord, than whom no man who ever lived loved bis coyntry more, or has done more to serve her and promote her true and best interests, has lately said,) the sooner it comes the easier it w ill he decided. | f these claims are granted now, they will have to be recalled ; the Irish Protestant Church may he jjr. d will be destroyed ; but the people of England wdl rise at last, and will the contest be milder then ? () ! rather let them now rouse themselves, and, petitioning their King, who relies on them confidently for their support, and adding their voice iu favour of their persecuted Protestant Brethren in Ireland, petition Parliament to extinguish a power which defies the authorities of this realm and dictates pence and war to Ireland, at once quench the flame which has burned too long, and save themselves, their Country, their King, and their Church. 1 am. Sir, your humble servant, A PHOT EST A NT TOJtY WELSHMAN. An Inquisition was held a few days ago, at Brrvn- field, before John Wollaston, Esq. Coroner, on view of the body of Richard Reynolds, who died suddenly, while in the act of mowing, at High Walton.— Verdict, " Died by the visitation of God.'''' On Monday evening, the 8th instant, while the pupils of the Rev. Thotnas Rowley, head- master of the Grammar School at Bridgnorth, were bathing in the Severn near that place, one of them, Master Robert Harding, aged 17, son of the Rev. John Harding, of Hopesay, in this county, was unfortunately drosvned. As soon as the unhappy intelligence was conveyed to the Rev. Thomas Rowley, he, with the most painful and, it may be said, parental anxiety, and with unexampled fortitude, plunged into the river, and, assisted by the active benevolence of numerous friends, after a diligent search succeeded in finding the body, which was conveyed to an adjoining house. Medical assistance being in readiness, the most unremitting efforts to restore animation were instantly commenced and continued, but without success.— The under- masters and a man employed on purpose to superintend and assist the boys in bathing, were present when the accident happened •, and every possible precaution had been exercised, and repeated admonitions enforced, for the purpose of preventing such an unfortunate occurrence.-— Master Harding was a youth possessing extraordinary attainments, which promised to conduct him to the highest honours in the profession for which he was intended. His habits of study and deep reflection had been carefully cultivated by the fond and judicious at- tention of his Father, whose classical erudition is so well known and respected. THE LONDON AND THE PROVINCIAL PRES. S— The London Courier has at length discovered that there is to be found in the Provincial Press, not only literary talent, but that it " has assumed a super- intendance over society and events, which not only watches over all that is of importance in provincial occurrences, but that it watches over the transactions of public bodies, protects the great interests of trade, manufacture, or agriculture, into which the extensive counties are divided, and even extends its ob- servations to the politics, and more weighty concerns of the vast external world."—" In the Provincial Prints we find revealed many of the grounds on which important branches of our internal policy are blended, and most of the results which it has produced."— We could tell the Courier, that had it attended some twelve months ago, to the opinions of the Provincial Press, it would not have fallen into the egregious blunders it did, nor have deluded itself into the belief that the country at large was friendly to the administration of its idol, Mr. Canning. We can tell it also, that there is an independence in the opinions expressed by many of the Provincial Press, which the Metropolitan Journals cannot follow; nor are they so insatiate of gain, as to hire their columns for lucre, permit theni to pander to the base appetites of the sensualist, or, for the sake of popularity, defend a cause which they are privately convinced is false and worthless. We perceive, from the Dublin Warder of Saturday last, that the Protestants of Ireland are arraying themselves, in all their strength against the satellites of the Papistical Association ; the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, with alll the Branch and Provincial Lodges are about to re- assemble; and Brunswick Clubs, headed by the leading Protestants of every district, are formed Or forming- in every part of that kingdom. WAJLTES. The Denbigh Grand Eisteddfod commenced yes- terday, and will continue this day and to- morrow. — We shall give an ample report of the proceedings in our next. Married, on Tuesday last, at Gretna Green, Richard Foreman, Esq. son of William Foreman, Esq. iron- master, to Miss Eli? a Mcyrick, daughter of William Meyrick, Esq. of Merthyr Tydvil, " Glamor- ganshire, South Wales. The parties, attended by- two servants, arrived at the Crown and Mitre coffee- house, in this city, at seven o'clock in the evening, in a chaise and four, which was presently surrounded by a crowd of people, whose curiosity had been excitcd by the rapidity with which the carriage entered the town. Though it ilid not appear that any pursuit was apprehended, the moment fresh horses were obtained, they drove off in " breathless haste," and realised the object of their hope at that celebrated shrine,— Carlisle Patriot. Mr. Justice Heywood died at Tenby on Thursday last. The illness with which he was seized at Haverfordwest, it is stated was not paralysis, but the effect of complete exhaustion and decay. The learned Sergeant was far advanced in years, and was in consequence about to retire from his official duiics. The Denbigh J> ib! e Society held its anniversary 011 the 8th instant; which was respectably and numerouly attended. Ilie Church Missionary Association for Denbigh- shire and Flintshire, held their anniversary meeting at Wrexham, on Wednesday last; Sir W- W. Wynn, Bart, in the chair. The several resolutions were moved and seconded by W. Hodgson, Esq. the Rev. Mr. Davies, James Montgomery, Esq. Mr. W. Pearce, the Rev. Mr. Simpson, the Rev. C. A. A. Lloyd ( Reptor of Whittington, Salop), & c. & c.— Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart, the Rev. F. Parry, G.. Griffiths, Esq. and the Rev. John Langley, of Shrewsbury, also addressed the meeting.— The collections made during the past year by the several branches connected with this Association, amounted to £ 327. 5s. 3d.; £ 14 was collected at the conclusion of this iinniversary meeting.

[ From the Standard.'] The following letter is addressed to the people of England by one of their nobles, of whom they may be justly proud— Lord Kenyon. Could we presume to offer in the same sheet one word in recommendation or in aid of the truth which it inculcates with' so much eloquence, and which " is reinforced by such a weight of character, we were, indeed, unworthy of the honour of presenting Lord Kenyon's letter to the British nation. THOUGHTS . ON THE STATE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION. TO THE PROTPSTANTS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND'. The public prints' having been pleased to yfve- con- siderable circulation to the letter which I tooK the liberty of addressing to Vo'u nit this vu. ilfv important subject, I am induced to offer a few words mofe to your attention. If advice offered In sound, the next important point to be considered is its practicability. Is it still pi/ ssible to strive against the strong current of popery ? In reply, I venture to say I have no doubt we have the power, and that our'exertions will he blessed, if vve engage in the sacred cause with zeal and with sincerity. If we endeavour only to make a show, so as to save ourselves from public condemna- tion, while our hearts convince us that we have ndt exerted oifrselves in earnest, tire charge of tlr- Cei'l and hypocrisy will be added to our self Condemnation. To those charges we must also add thai of ingratitude to the Almighty, for neglecting to strive for a cause which has raised this nation, by His blessing, to the highest pitch of religious knowledge, morality, and prosperity, e'ver yet know n in the world One mea- sure aloue is necessary to re establish Protestantism iu ascendancy iu Ireland. Without. that one measure it cannot he done. I will first state the evil which exists, and then theVe'medv. The evil is the existing supremacy in power of the popish priests and poperv. 1 hat evil has been progressive in proportion to the privileges which have been extended to papists. Still looking at, the evil iu such - a manner as the just principles of Piotes'ants would induce every true Protestant to do ; considering that liberty of con- science, free from the controul of man, is the inalien- able right of all mankind ; the restriction must be applied iu such manner as not to interfere with such a sacred Pro"' est a tit principle. It is fit also, as all re. vitrn'iut, unnecessary towards securing its lawful object, must be considered as a hardship, that the restraint should not be carried beyond the sirring and evident expediency, not to say necessity of ihe case. The evil, in short, is the existence of popish ascend- ancy, and the only remedy, therefore, must be to secure Protestant ascendancy. Now, looking at Ireland, and referring back to what has passed since 171) 3, and calling to mind especially the last general election, and the late election for Clare, it is quite evident I hat ihe grant of the elective franchise to the papists is the cause of ail the mischievous influence they possess. Considering the mischievous influence which the Catholic Association and the popish priests possess over the minds of the Irish papists, 1 cannot but be well aware that disturbance may be produced by so strong an act. Siill I venture to call on the Protestants of the Empire to petition that the threaten- ing popish millions in Ireland shall he deprived of a franchise which is not possessed by the quiet, the loyal papists of Great Britain. In 18- 2,'>, the present Lord Lieutenant of Ireland refused to grant concessions to the papists because of their Hire ats. What do the agitators of Ireland say now, hut that they are become so strong, they care not whether Protestants support their cause or not, for their power over the Protestant M P.' s is supreme. What would the true Protestants of the revolution of 16SS have said ? would tliey have suspected that their df ' generate successors in 1828 would have permitted Ireland to become subject to popish rule ? would thev have suffered the parliament of Great Britain anil Ireland to be threatened with the introduction of popish legislators ? They would have felt that they had lived and strove in vain for a race of men unworthy of their exertions and sufferings, and utterly undeserving the favour and protection of the Al- mighty. i repeat then, Protestants, petition the throne and the houses of parliament, to take from papists privileges which experience has proved to be hurtful to the great mass of the papists themselves, and dangerous to the welfare of the state, of the Protestant religion, and of the civil and religious I ihe rties ol the people. But the slothful man seeth a- Lion in the way/ 1 There are dangers and difficul- ties in what is proposed. There are. But to a man of principle, to a ' man of resolution, it is only necessary to show that the object is one of duty ; that meeting a present danger will guard against a greater future one ; that, unless it is intended Under the same influ- ence of fear to grant a great deal more than is now asked, it is safer to resist, now, and in the way pro- posed at once to remove future danger, than, abandon- ing all resolution, to let things take their course, and to concede from time to time, in the hope, vain and contemptible as it must prove, to keep off danger for one's own time. Such resolution has been always thought to raise men in the scale of intellectual beings, of patriots, and of Christians, when the object is one worthy of such characters ; and is it not so ? For what do I urge you to contend ? Tt is for the maintenance ot the highest blessing which the God of mercy ever bestowed oi) man— the continued secure possession by our Protestant brethren in Ireland, and hy ourselves, of the blessings of Chri. stian. iiy. Do I mean to deny that popery is Christianity ? God forbid t But as I have repeatedly sworn, in common with every member of each House of Parliament who takes his seat, that idolatry is mixed up with the most sacred rite in the popish church, so 1 miist add, that I fear very little of true Christianity is extended under iis auspices to the many millions of I rish papists, even now, where Protestantism continues the established religion of that benighted country. It was but yester- day that I read that the popish priest of Mr. Beresford's parish refused admission tothe. Holy Sacrament to the parents of children attending Mr. B.' s scriptural schools. If such intolerance be shown while Pro. testantism is established, what may not be expected should popish representatives he. sent to the united parliament, and popery itself exercise its domination in full sway? The question, in truth, is very short. Will the British people relinquish the blessings of the Reformation, or retain them ? If inclined to give way to despair, they must be contented to see popery the established religion of Iieland. Papists now ( leaf- ing with Protestants there are in many instances sub. ject to marked injuries. Manufacturers, brewers, farmers, if Protestants, have been ruined in their turns, at the pleasure of popish intolerance, How much more will that he so when the influence of popery is all iu all in that unhappy country. But let not Britons deceive themselves by supposing, that with the limits of Ireland the ambition of the popish party will be contented. Protestant England, Protestant Scotland, must be prepared to sp « Fn/ wy and Jesuitism, in England and iu Scotland, display their arts and pride, and all the blessings that the Reformation has bestowed again be the subject of an alarming and disgraceful struggle. Firmly persuad- ed-, as 1 am, of the truth and righteousness of the cause of Protestantism ; convinced, as I am, that no nation which has enjoyed its blessings, as Britain has done, will he contented to be deprived of them; I am confident that the attempts of popery in these its latter days will be in vain. 1 am confident the Christian character of Protestantism will triumph ; I am con- fident" my Protestant brethren will never submit to its extinction. But what, then, is the conclusion ? It is this; that, certain as it is that no arrangement, which has for its object the re- establishment of popery, can succeed ; il is weakness and want of principle in the extreme, to allow, without dutiful and energetic re- monstrance to King and parliament, anv measure to be adopted, which shall increase the difficulties of a struggle which cannot fail to arise. It is the part of men of principle and resolution to look forward ; and, considering what must inevitably come to pass, so act as to do themselves credit to their own hearts, and serve a cause which ought io be dearer to them than their lives. Let them resolve that Protestantism shall flourish, and King and parliament, noble and prelate, ministers and their opponents, will be found not unwilling instruments to preserve what it is for the highest interests and honour of the nation should be maintained.

The following communication is from the pen of Mr. P. Lauder, Cardiff, Glamorganshire: Amongst the many impediments that still exist to arrest the progress- of this first- born science, there is none that has a firmer hold upon the mind of, in every other respect, sensible and intelligent men, than a most tenacious predilection for whii is usually denominated old meadows. 1 have been for some years an attentive observer of this department of agriculture, and am enabled to assert, that old grass land, like every thing else earthly, has its limits of duration. The analogy between the animal and vegetable world is precisely the same in its ultimate consequences, differing only in a more extended degree of longevity to the latter • but the period of maturity must arid will arrive; and when attained, it will, like all other created matter, cease to be; age will no more render the one stationary than the other; the progress to decay is slower in the vege- table, but nevertheless certain. In thus prefacing the remarks J am< about to make, I do not' mean to insi- nuate that there are no meadow lands worthy of pro tection; but there is evinced by the owners ( I say owners, because many tenants are bound in severe penalties not to plough certain prescribed fields,) and Occupiers of many, such farms, an absence of that knowledge which ought to enable them to discriminate between valuable nutritious grasses and rank and noxious weeds. For instance, a great deal of what is considered as old valuable pasture land in the tine • ales of this and the adjoining counties, abound with as vile a weed as ever grew— namely, the ranunculus acris, or crowsfoot,, better known by the country people as the butter- cup. This plant, from its acrid nature, is rejected by every description of cattle; even the poor ass, whose accommodating nature ta kes the refuse of every thing else, avoids it; yet a large proportion of the community suppose that this weed is eaten by cows, and gives to butter that rich yellow colour if possesses during summer months ! Such silly prejudices ought not to be endured; for reduc- tion must convince the most, moderate capacity, that if such be the case, we should have this article of the dairy rivalling the rainbow in brilliancy. The best proof, however, of what I have advanced is, carefully to observe the state of all grazed lands from mid- summer to autumn. 1- confine my observations more particularly to grazed land, because the scythe sweeping away every thing before it, the grass and the weed soon again appear upon equal terms; but in feeding, the discriminating palate of all animals enables them to judge much better than short- sighted man what is most conducive to their nourishment; and here it is the attentive observes wiil invariably see the plant in question, or rather plants, for there are many varieties of them, and ail equally rejected, though the adjoining grass is eaten to the very roots, the crowsfoot tribe luxuriantly blooming and shedding their seed the whole summer, and not a scythe applied to arrest their progress; thus the finest land becomes soon overrun with them, and they usurp that place, and exhaust the soil, that ought to and would produce the most valuable grasses. But ikis not only this description of plant which is allowed to intrude itself into our best pastures ; there are many others equally noxious, and as carefully avoided by the animals intended to consume them, all of which, at this season of the year, may be easily discovered if the same means of observation are resorted to. Examine such land which has been so j&' d during the summer, and see how many plants remain on the ground at this moment in an exhausted state, having perfected their seeds, and returned them to the soil, to again re produce their worthless pro- geny to the annihilation of all good grasses.. INow, had these plants been merely pa/< Libit, to say nothing of their possessing better qualities, nothing of the kind would have appeared; the laud would have presented a surface as even as a well- mown tie Id, and the occupier would be cheered with the reflection, that every yard of land he was. paying for was giving him a corresponding remuneration. If this evil, then, is admitted to exist on lands appropriated to grazing, the consequences must be alike unprofitable, and in a much greater degree deceptive, where it is mown, inasmuch us it is not seen. In this case, every thing is cut and promiscuously blended together; hay- making, or rather hay and weed- making, go on ; a great bulk presents itself; the owner prides himself upon his immense crop, calculates upon ions per acre, never reflecting, that a. noxious weed dried is as offensive to the poor animal tied up, who can no 1< nger select for himself, as it was iu a state of vegeta- tion ; and though hunger, joined to inability of no longer rejecting it, may force it into the stomach, yet to suppose the creature can improve in condition from such food, is foreign from the veriest principles of common sense and nature. To men ( I will not call them farmers) who grow hay to sell, such laud and management may be desirable, and it is such m endow bay, as it is so denominated by this descrip- tion of persons, that most of the cities and large towns in the kingdom are supplied with ; but to gentlemen and spirited intelligent farmers, who justly pride themselves upon this branch of rural economy, 1 am persuaded these hints will not be found unworthy their, consideration. The fears and objections which are raised to the breaki'. vg up of this description of land would lead a person, unacquainted with the operations of the vegetable world, to suppose that a fit id, or rather the surface of such field, can never be again restored; but the sensible agriculturist knows that the judicious application - of a ( drilled) corn crop, succeeded by t-. miips, e « ten upon the land, by the tanner1* best friend, the sheep, would in three years restore that land to all its primitive beauty of appearance, use, and productiveness; the introduction of properly assorted grasses would for very many years continue and re- produce themselves, until at length the indi- genous weeds of the country, from manuring, and other local causes, would again triumph, and must, as a corresponding consequence, be again extirpated. Put to attain an object so desirable, a better acquaintance with British grasses than at present exists should be an object with every farmer to acquire. To sow grasses promiscuously, whose periods of blooming and maturing vary from ten days to a month, is one of those errors, not to say evils, which modern improvement has not yet been enabled to correct. This remark is yearly exempli- fied in the custom of, upon all soils and situations, sowing ray- grass with clover ; of which no two plants are more opposed in their nature, time of flowering, and subsequent maturity,; the period of which, in the former, is from ten to thirty days, consequently, while waiting for the expansion and ripening of the clover ( which deserves to be waited for) the ray- grass has bloomed, shed its seed, and become straw ! It is one of our earliest spring grasses : in favourable situations and forward springs, it has been known to be fit for the scythe from the middle to the termina- tion of May, while the clover can never be approached before June 5 and hence arises the trite answer of many, when asked why they do not mow, " 1 wait to let it get thick at bottom." In fact, ray- grass as hay, is poor almost to worlh! e> ssaess; as green food for early grazing tor ewes and lambs, it is valuable in the - most trying month of the year, April, and ought . ctl^ ays to be where, vetches are not, but some of each on gift not to be lost sight of. Many will be surprised to Iwid, that one of the earliest British grasses, and highly nutritive, is the Triticum ripens, or common coiu h grassy On which an eternal war h waged ; and justly too, when it intrudes as it will among other crops. Horses eat every particle of it: as a proof of which, the roots are brought to market at Naples, and other part* of Italy, for that purpose solely. The Annual Meeting of the Wens Auxiliary to the Sunday School Society for Ireland was held in the New Assembly Room at the White Horse Inn, in that town, on the 8th instant, and was most respectably at tended. The Rev E. T. STEWARD, the ^ Rector, took the chair, and opened the business of the day. The Rev. WILLIAM DIXON then read the Report, from which it appeared that this Auxiliary, during the three years si nee its formation, had transmitted ± 180. 8s. ( jd. to the Parent Society. The Rev. BRIAN HILL moved the first resolution, which was seconded by the Rev. F. EDWARDS. J. N COFFIN, Esq. moved the second resolution, which was seconded by Mr. G. WILKINSON. The Rev. W. II. RiirTT then addressed tlye meet- ing at considerable length. Mr. HLXBI- RT moved'the thanks to the Patron, President, and other Oflicers of the Society, which motion was seconded by the Rev. Mr. PATTISON. The Rev THOMAS DIXOJJ then moved the thauks of the meeting to the Rev E. T. Steward, for his kindness hi taking the chair, which was seconded by the Rev W. H. BRETT. Thanks were also moved to J. N. Coffin, Esq. and the Rev. W. H. Brett, who bad attended as the De potation from the Parent Society. A sermon was afterwards preached on behalf of the Society, by the Rev. W. H. Brett, aud the col- lections made subsequent to the meeting and sermon amounted to £ 12". We Irave been favoured with a more detailed report of the proceedings of this Anniversary; but as, in reporting the proceedings of the Shrewsbury Meeting, in our last Journal, we gave the addresses of the Members of the. Deputation of the Parent Society at great length, it would be superfluous again to give them iu detail : we are, therefore, under the necessity of omitting them on this occa- sion. The general interest as to the proceedings of this excellent Institution has evidently much in- creased ; and the Society will, there can be no doubt, continue to gain ground in the public estimation. The Rev. W. H. Brett also preached at Whit- church, on Wednesday evening, and a liberal collec- tion was made in aid of the Sur: iay School Society for Ireland, amounting to £ 22- 16s. 8| d.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. mer- - 1 do II'IIIOIU n wool On the night of Wednesday week,, the out- going booking- otfice of the Bali and Mouth Inn was broken into aud plundered of three parcels, con- fainiug Stamp's of the value of more than £ § ; 00(). From the manner in which these parcels were selected from otheis with which they were mixed, aud lioui other circumstances, theve appear? no doubt but that the robbery was- planned- and executed by that gang who have so long and so successfully carried on depredations o? a similar kind. It appears the three parcels were received from the stumpbtfiee on Wednesday afternoon, and were to have been forwarded by the coach the following day to the stamp distributors at York, Manchester, aud L< eds. They were deposited in the office, which was closed at the usual hour. The following m. ruing, the lock and fastenings were all found secure, but on opening the door an- over- powering smell of gas issued, and every thing was fouud in confusiou. The long range of cellaring underneath the office had beeu converted- into stabling, aud the thieves, by forcing the lock; of the stable duor in Buil- aud- Moulh street, had gained an entrance, aud had afterwards worked theis* way- through the ceiling to the coach- office. The escape of the gas arose from the thieves having broken Hie pipe, while forcing their way through the flooring. A reward of £ 500 has been offered fdr the detection and apprehension of the ottenders •, and as iu the present instance the IOSK in a government one, there is wo reason to apprehend that the thieves will be allowed that chance of impunity. and profit which the system of compromise has too long afforded them. A circumstance in itself trivial, but which has been naturally enough associated with subsequent events, occurred late ou the eveuiug preceding the robbery A genteelly dressed stranger went into the yard, and addressing Boots, asked his assistance to get back his umbrella, which, he said, some friend of his in a lurk had dropped through the grating into the under- ground stable. The horse- keeper was called, aud the ntable opened, into which the stranger followed. His umbrella was fouud, and restored to him, and after giving a trifling gratuity to the man, he we. ut away. It is supposed his object was the ascertaining the nature of the ceiling and the general disposition of the place. [ FURTHER PARTICULARS] The robbery, it is believed,, must have been effected with the aid of some person who has been employed about the premises. The value of the stamps which were taken away amounted to nearly £ 7000. The thieves left behind them stamps of the value of upwards of £ 25,000, which, it \ H believed, they would have taken with them, if they had not been a'artned at the breaking of the gas pipe, and almost suffocated with the gas itself. It is supposed that this has beeu the work of that small remnant of the Turnley gang still about the metropolis, who, it is well known, vowed vengeance against parcels of ail kinds upon the decision on the fate of their leader, and w ho have seldom failed to enlist amongst them some person who is well acquainted with the premises u ast which they entertain any design. The stamps were to have been carried away, the day after the robbery, to their various destinations, and had been booked merely as common parcels, so that the proprietor of the inn from which they have been stolen is subject to no responsibility higher than the sum of £ 5. It has been the practice of persons connected wrth government to throw cen- sure upon the bankers for being so negligent of their notes as to leave them iu the care of guards and coachmen. Here is a case which a'fi'oids a parallel. Upwards of £ 30,000 worth of stamps are left iu a cellar, to which an easy and immediate access is had. it is rather strange that the robbery was committed some days before the polite of the City were made acquainted with the circumstances. VVe believe that the proprietor was apprehensive of making the matter public, as the swag was govern- ment property. Had the robbery been made public immediately after it occurred, there might have been some chance of detection. M r.

During his Grace's short sojourn amongst us, " he won golden opinions from all ^ orts of men," and while moving- with simple and unaffected dignity amidst the admiring crowds that could not be restrained from pressing around him wherever he appeared, he alone seemed unconscious of the various claims he possessed to the applause and homage of every Englishman, who is alive to the glory of his country. The same singleness of mind, and simplicity of character which characterised the Noble Duke throughout all the brilliant exploits of his military career, still distinguish all his words and actions in the new path to fame which is open to him, and forms one of those genuine traits of intellectual greatness, which history will delight to record, when she pourtrays with the pencil of truth, all those elements which combine to form tlie first character of the age. It has been our grateful task to contemplate amidst the festive and elegant circles of polished society, the same distinguished individual who has filled the world with his fame— the conqueror of Napoleon—- the pacificator of Europe— the trusty British hero, of whom it may be said with equal pride and justice, that he never lost a battle, nor abused a victory. [ From the Cheltenham Chronicle, Sept. 11.] A London contemporary ( the Globe) has thought proper to sneer at the terms in which we announced in our last number, the departure of the Duke of Wellington from Cheltenham. Wre regret that the panegyric of the Noble Duke should be so unpalat- able to that impartial judge of merit— the Editor of the Globe— but feeling ourselves to be the organ of the public opinion of Cheltenham, we shall never hesitate to give expression to it, nor ckri we consent to retract one iota of the paragraph in question, in compliment to the political prejudices or predilections of our worthy contemporary, who, in the true spirit of Whiggish liberality, gets testy and splenetic at the increasing popularity of a Tory Premier—" llinc illce lacryma— It was no doubt " gall and worm- wood" to him, to learn that the Duke of Wellington, during his short sojourn amongst us, was admired and followed wherever he appeared— that his unaffected demeanour and noble simplicity of character won all hearts—- that he promoted and patronized our public amusements— and contributed to our public charities — and that his departure was attended with general regret.— All this, no doubt, was " too bad"— but that we should venture to insinuate that he was the " Conqueror of Napoleon"—" The Pacificator of Europe" the 4 truly1 ( trust}/ was a typographical ertor) British Hero," & c.

WOOL TRADE, [ FROM THE NEW TIME8 PAPEK ] We have already given extracts from, and called the attention of the public to, Earl Stanhope's analysis of the evidence before the Committee of the House of Lords to inquire into the state of the wool trade. The witnesses are persons in various situations of life, from the ennobled owners of estates down to the farmer, the wooMapler, and the manufacturer, of blankets and worsted hose. But, the contradictory character of the evidence is its most remarkable feature. On the. one side stands the nearly beggared wool- grower, who represents to their lordships that the depression in the price of his produce is caused by the large importation of foreign wool. And who deny that this representation is the most rational and probable theory ? But on the other side are arrayed the Yorkshire manufacturers, whose interests, by their own showing, are diametrically opposed to those of the farmers. These excellent persons, whose veracity we would not for the world impeach, and whose opinions on all matters concerning themselves, originate, we doubt not, in that benevolent feeling— the charity that begirmeth at home— these persons, tier contra, represent that the depression in the price of wool is not caused by importations of foreign wool. They admit, that more wool has been consumed within the last three years than was the three pre- ceding years— that importations have greatly increased — that the wools of British growth have been nearly unsaleable y yet, with countenances that might do honour to Doncaster race- eonrse, they stoutly main- tain that the increased importation, and consequent increased consumption, of the wools of Germany and Spain, have not affected the price of, nor the demand for, British wool. The whole of the evidence is, in fact, a curious specimen of parliamentary investigation. We are, therefore, indebted to Lord Stanhope for enabling us to place in juxta position some of the more striking details, and therefore give our readers a better oppor- tunity of forming their own opinions upon the subject, the character of the witnesses, and the truth of their statements-. First, as to the evidence relative to importation. Mr. Fllinsui, junior, a farmer in Sussex - The in- stant that it was under- stood that the subject was going to be taken up iu parliament, there was n revival of the trade, aud several woolsiaplers were , nquiriiig about wool;- br. t us soon as the drcbrition of his Majesty's govern- ment appeared, this put an end to it at once. There is uo doubt that an increase of duty on foreign wool would considerably in- crease the consumption and raise the price of South Down wool. Mr. Eb^ worth, wool- broker, in London — 1 do not think that any injuri- ous effect arose from the late duty. 1 think that a ( hi. duty " would not in- ure the manufacturers in liny degree whatever," ith a drawback on the exportation of cloth of a • ertain value, and that the I raw back would he very beneficial to the wool- arowers of this countrv," nd that it would bring nto use South Down vool, which is not at p » e- * eut used, as it might he mixed W'HII wools of a higher vulne. The home maiket consumes at leant four. fifths of the ftue wool- leu goods whivh are maun- I ar tn ml, and would be much improved by eiiab- I ng the wool- growers to obtain a remunerating price. Mr. Newton, a. farmer ond suiveyor, in- Oxford- shire.— Nothing ebe will insist the farmers but a duty on foreign wool A person who used to pur- chase " f toe told mr, " I s1 all not be able to pur- chase your wool until there is a < iuty on the foreign wowil." As long as that came in nearly duty free, he could not purchase mine. Difl'er< nt staplers h- avf told me the same Mr. Walker, a manufac- turer, near Wakefield.-— My trade, during the con- t nuance of the 6d. duty, was better than it is at piesent. During the con- tinuance of the tax 1 found less difficulty than I have done si nee in disposing of my goods in the market. opinion is thut the duty of 6d. would not raise the price of foreign wools the amount of the duty; but that it would he about the pnee that it is now. Mr. Var'fcj, a manuf. iC turer and merchant at Leeds. — In the years 18> 0, ' 21, and 22, the 6d. duty reduced the price of wnoI very low, as xcetl as meat, and I think corn as ivell ! ! Mr. Sutcliffe, vvoolsta- pler at Huddersfield.— If the duty on wool is ever so trifling-, yon are injuring the trade and transferring it elsewhere. Mr. Hubbard, woolsta- pler at Leeds, — If a duly were to he imposed ou foreign wool, 1 think the eventual result would he that it would have a ten- dency to lower the English wools rather than to raise them.

POPULATION OF IRELAND.— The population of the sister island was, according to the census taken in the year 1821, about six millions, ft would seem, however, from the assertions of the orators of the Roman Catholic Association, to have increased in a most surprising ratio during' the last sefen years. Thus Mr. Sheil, Mr. Finn, and other orators talk of the adult male population of Ireland amount- ing to seveu millions, the last- named gentleman boasting, " that it will not be so easy as the Orange- men think to crush seven millions of men" Now, if there be seven millions of men in the sister island professing the Roman Catholic religion alone, what will the total population of Ireland amount to, if we include in our estimate the Protestant inhabitants, male and female,- and the women and children who belong to the seven millions of Roman Catholics mentioned by Mr. Finn ? Why to upwards of twenty millions/ An increase in the short space of seven years which may well make Mr. Malthus's hair stand on end. The truth is, that the amount of the population of Ireland, and especially the Roman Catholic portion of it, is grossly exaggerated by the orators of the association for factious purposes and it is the duty of a journalist to expose the trick. MR. DAWSON, OK DERRY.— The day following the Derry celebration, or the day succeeding to that, Mr. Dawson was, we are informed, questioned with some severity upon the subject of his speech', at the table of Sir George Hill. The honourable gentleman alleged, in explanation of his conduct, that his only object was to put the Protestants of the empire in full possession of their danger, and of the view taken of it by the Cabinet. The danger, he said, was manifest to themselves. The association conspiracy was, in fact, the government of the country, and, unless put down by force or by compliance, it must continue to. be the government, with constantly increasing power. " THE MINISTER," SAID MR DAWSON, " WHOSE PARTICULAR 9PHERE IS THE HOUSE Of COMMONS, HAS DECLARED, AFTER DELIBERATE INQUIRY AND CONSIDERATION, THAT THE LOWER HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT WILL NOT ENABLE THE ADMINIS- TRATION TO PTLF DOWN THE PESTILENT CON- SPIRACY and as it cannot be put down by force, there only remains to make the best terms that can be made for the country." This is the substance of what has been communicated to us as Mr. Dawson^ s expla- nation— and We ask whether we have spoken too strongly, when' we said that it describes the most awfully momentous condition of public affairs that ilas existell since the expulsion of James the Second ? Is it a true description Would to heaven we could sfty that if is not— Would to heaven that we could confidently challenge the home secretary to try the bouse of commons.-^ Standard.

Mr. Gott, a merchant and manufacturer at Leeds. — I have no doubt, speak- ing on my oath, that an additional duty on foreign wool would be fatal to the foreign trade of this coun. try, A duty on foreign wool would lower the price of British zvool in this country, and not augment it!! !'! ! Mr. BischofF, a merchant in Loudon.— If the present duty of or Id. ( upon foreign wool) be taken off', I think the demand Jor British wool would in- crease, and thef- efote Hie inference is that the price would rise ! ! ! ! '! ! Mr. Duke, a farmer, in Sussex. — I Inve not the least doubt that a duty oil the importation of foreign wool would assist the Eng- lish wool, grower in his prices. When it was talked of that the duty was to he taken off the foreign wools, we could not get a person to buy < it any price. After perusing these extracts, perhaps it is a fair question to ask— is the reader sick ?— We are ! Poli- tical economy has made the people rabid, and the love of afiluence has affected their morals just as the eftiuvia of gas- works and steam looms affect the air we breathe. We do indeed live in " marching" times. At twelve o'clock on Saturday night the " din" of this ancient fair ceased 5 and barring a slight accident at Wombwell's Menagerie, the entertainments went off with eclat. [ The accident referred to was that of a female, who, notwithstanding the greatest caution of the keepers, thrust, her hand into the leopard's cage, which was immediately struck at by the beast, by which it was slightly lacerated.] The public may, perhaps, not be aware of the immense receipts of the showmen of " Bavt'iemy Fairj" but the following is a curious total of the amount of the receipts of the exhibitions, which our informant had correctly ascertained : \ Yoinbv\ eH' « Menagerie ( alwnjs the most com- plete collection at this fair), the extraoidinary sum of £ 1700 Atkins's Menagerie « ... 1000 Rir. harduon's Theatre 1? 00 The above exhibitions, it may be necessary to state, were charged as 6d. each person.

Total £ 5,3? 5 Of course the expenses of the showmen vary according to the magnitude of their concerns-, those of Wombwell, we heard, amounted to £ 400; those of Richardson to between £ 300 and £ 400, and the others in proportion. So, it is evident, that the net profit of the showmen must be great indeed. Sir James Scarlett received a fee of fire hundred, guineas for his professional assistance on the part of the coal- owners, in the case of the King against Russell, and others, at the Carlisle assizes, besides consultation fees, which made it considerably more. So great was the learned gentleman's interest in the cause, that he set off for London before the Jury returned their verdict! INCREASE OF CRIME.— The Parliamentary Re- port from the. Committee on " Criminal " Commit- ments and Convictions," is a highly important document. It appears that crime is rapidly increasing, the number of committals for the last year having been nearly 18,000, while, in the year preceding, they were little more than 16,000; but t t is discovered that crimes of the deepest die are decreasing, and that the vast increase is in the lighter scale of offences conuected with property. The causes assigned by the Committee for this in- crease are correct, as far as they go ; aud the remarks on the injurious tendency of the Poor Laws, the G-, me Laws, the cheapness of ardent spirits, and the imprudent contracts between masters and parents in manufacturing districts and large towns, at e all very sound and very judicious ; but what we consider to be one of the causes of the increase of crime is not touched on by the Committee at all— viz. the severity and uncertainty of punishments. The Committee mention two important facts:— first, that crimes against the person are diminishing, wh'le crimes agaiust property are increasing, iu this country; and, secondly, that in France the number of criminals tried is, to the population, as one to 4,500, while, in England, the proportion is as one to le* s than a thousand ; but the number of the more serious offences against the person is much larger in France than in England, being to the extent of three to one. In France it also appears that punishments are less severe, but more certain than in this country, there having been in one year condemned to death, in France, out of 4,000 persons tried, 150 •, while, during: the same year in England, out of 11,000 persons tried, there were 1,200; but, of the 150 condemned to death in France, most of them were executed— while, of the 1,200 iu England, only 57 suffered the sentence of the law. With these facts before them, we are surprised that, the Committee did not arrive at the conclusion that the increase of crime in this country might be accounted for, in a great respect, by the non- enforcement of the penalty of the law, and that such 11011- enforcement arose from that penalty beilfg disproportiOned in its severity to the crime Offenders against property in France are dis* couraged because they knovy that whatever sentehce is passed upon them will be enforced hetice this species of crirye in France is con. siderably less common than in England; but offenders against property iu England are en- couraged, inasmuch as they have so many chane in their favour of escaping. Dividing the 1,200 criminals sentenced to death in this country by 57 — the number really executed— it will leave mor than 20 to one iu favour of escape ; and the English thief, knowing this, considers the laws against him to be hung up in terrorem rather than in reality; the French thief, on the contrary, is taught to consider his punishment certain; and, being so it deters him from the commission of crime. We agree with the Committee in the enforcement of hard labour, with imprisonment, coarse food and solitary confinement, as being the best correctives. Thieving arises generally from a lazy disposition, which detests work ; threaten it, therefore with work, hard and continued, and enforce the threat at every opportunity. Thieves spend their ill- got money in luxuries, aud i;:. ardent spirits; threaten them with, aud give them, when caught, the coarsest food, without any means of procuring an ounce of meat ( beyond the prison allowance) or a drop of gin. Thieves cannot endure self- reflection, and rush into society to divert it, where they get more and more con- tamiuated.— Morning Herald, The Protestants of Ireland ought to be convinced that they are now, in a degree, the arbiters of their own fate— that the public, decided, and unanimous expression of their sentiments will govern the con- duct of government, and that it only requires that they should put their own shoulders to the wheel^ to ensure the aid and co- operation of the ministerial Hercules. A simultaneous Protestant action must be opposed to that of Popery. Let it be done and we are victors— let it be neglected, and we perish; In every village, town, and parish in Ireland the: Protestant inhabitants should be compacted aud assured by some active, respectable, and influential Protestant gentleman. Brunswick clubs should be formed, on a scale of subscription— for subscription^ however small, there must be— suited to the means of the subscribers— from one pound, or guinea, down to one shilling, from those who can afford no more. The House of Brunswick is associated with the re- ligion and liberties of Britons, and those of their Irish Protestant descendants, brethren, and fellow subjects— and, with God's blessing on its patriotic exertions, the Brunswick Constitutional Clubs will defeat the Popish machinations which would dis- associate them, and will secure Ireland, for ever, a Protestant gem in the Protestant Crown of Great Britain.— Dublin Warder. BARNET, SEPT. 5.— Our fair commenced yester- day with a very large show of cattle, particularly of Scotch beasts. The number of these was about 6000, and the demand very great, at an advance of about 10 per cent, on the prices of last year. We are confidently informed that one salesman from the North had one thousand, from which he sold eight hundred and twelve. The condition of all kinds of stock appeared far better than has been seen for some years, and no doubt increased the purchasers. We cannot say quite so much of the business doing among the Welsh, excepting for the calves, which are not so numerous as we have seen here. The price* of this sort of stock are from four to five pounds, and a few superior ones reached five guineas; and upou the whole the drovers, considering the large quantity of other Welsh cattle, do not complain. We cannot boast mrich of the horse fair, the description of them being generally very inferior. There appeared a tolerable sale for Welsh ponies. We had a larger I supply of sheep from that country than usual, but few sold. The inhabitants in general consider this, the first day's fair, to have been the largest witnessed for some time, and more numerously at- tended than for years past. HORNCASTLE FAIR. The great horse- fair at Horncastle this year was distinguished by presenting a show of horses unusually small, and quite unequal to the demand. The anxiety of the dealers to purchase' was so intense, that they had their agents stationed ott the roads at the distance of three or four miles from the town, to obtain the first refusal of horses going to the fair; and, after remaining in the town three or four days, they at last went away without procuring the number they wanted. Blood horses fetched enormous prices, and in fact every description of horses possessing shape and action sold remarkably well. There were several foreigners in the fair, whose inquiries were principally directed towards the blood maTes. A Hanoverian officer was said to be purchasing for the Duke of Cambridge, and the King ' s second coachman was looking out for grey horses for the royal stud. It is no small proof of the high estimation in which hor. jes bred in this kingdom are held, when it is asserted, from undoubted authority,- that Mr. Ellinore, a horse- dealer, paid at this fair, for forty horses* four thousand and fifteen pounds. THE GLOVE TRADE.— The manufacturers at Yeo- vil and the neighbourhood, we are sorry to hear, are complaining heavily, and we believe not without cause; for we understand they are collectively dress- ing upwards of 40, Q00 skins per month less than in December and January last; and we are informedy that in Worcester' ala'd other manufacturing districts north, the fall off is equally great, if not greater than in this neighbourhood.— This great defalcation of the trade is attributed chiefly to the injudicious intro- duction of French gloves into the market, to the great injury of the English manufacturers, both masters and operatives, without producing any cor- responding beneficial result to the community at large, for it is generally acknowledged that the French manufacturer cannot send a better article into the market, at the same price, than the English. And when it is remembered that no less than 40,000- persons are employed in this trade by the. English manufacturers, who must all suffer more or less by this revolution in the trade, it is much to be regretted that such a system should have been introduced This system is not only a positive injury to our English manufacturers, both masters and operatives, ( who ought to enjoy the protection of the legislature,); without any benefit to the community at large, but has also proved equally injurious to' the revenue of the country, for it can be proved beyond dispute, that the revenue suffered upwards of £ 40,000 last year by this change of system on this article alone.—* Correspondent of the Dorset Chronicle. An enterprising company in the west of Scotland have resolved to erect a cotton factory in the neigh- bourhood of Calcutta, and a number of operative workmen have been engaged for that purpose. This will form a new era in the history of Hindostan, as the natives, who are strongly averse to any innovation upon their established customs, still follow the pri- mitive mode of preparing their yarn with the spindle and distaff. At the introduction of the cotton weav- ing into Scotland, little more than half a century ago, the yarn was brought home in the bank by our East Indiamen, and was then considered of more value than the finest silk. What a change in the course of such a period! We have been informed that, in the early part of this week, two men came down from Norwich by the Ipswich mail, and it was observed by the Guard that their trunk was exceedingly heavy, indeed so much that it was proposed to be weighed. This was,, however, opposed by the men, who, in answer to a question as to what it contained, said that it was new type about to be used in Norwich for printing some linen, and that weighing might loosen the package- and injure the type. The parties came to Norwich a night or two after. A Gentleman, one of the Society of Friends, came also to Norwich by the same mail, in search of some thieves, who, he had discovered, had decamped with a quantity of his property in plate, and whom he had traced here. By the descrip- tion given of the men, this gentleman suspected them to be the persons he was in search of. He discovered their lodging in King- street, and received from the men not the property stolen, but an equivalent in money, to the amount of about £ 150. The thieves had, we understand, a considerable sum besides with them in specie.— Norwich Post.
