KENT. The following admirable address to the freeholders of Kent lias been published l> y Ihe venerable and gallant conqueror of the Mysore.' the hero of Suringa- paimn :— " TO THE FR. EEHOI. DKRS OF THE COUNTY O* KENT. " Belmont, Oct. ? 1828. " Fellow Countrymen and Men of Kent,— From my age, and the advice of the faculty, I have of lats years been deprived the pleasure of being mtieli among you, and now having tittle expectation of being able to attend in person at the county meet- ing summoned for the 24tli instant, on Penenden Heath, I cannot refrain endeavouring to state to you my sentiments in writing. With regard fo the momentous question which will then come under consideration, I wish to make it clear that I do not feel myself interested in it for our county alone; bul as that county forms a part of the united king- dom of Great Britain and Ireland, it is not our local politics or interests which should at the present mo- ment exclusively agitate our thoughts, but rather the great and universal question, whether we are to be allowed onr Protestant church and. constitution, or whether we shall give them tip, and again put our- selves under the dominion of the See of Rome. Our glorious ancestors delivered us from this tyranny of priestcraft— from this influence of superstition ; and shall we, their descendants, tamely permit those safe- guards, which they deemed essential to the preserva- tion of the constitution, to be surrendered, because we are either too indolent or too timid to resist the en- croachments of those whose sole object is to subvert it ? " Every real Protestant nutst, if he reflects, feel the horror of being deprived the liberty of serving his God as he has been taught, and as he feels it his duty to do ; this privilege the Roman Catholics are as free to enjoy as ourselves, and God forbid they should not! But with this they are not content; their wish and the very wish of their religion is to dictate to all others, and it. is to prevent so great a calamity as this that I call tiport every true Protestaut, before it be too laie, to use his utmost exertions; to present himself at the approaching meeting, and there calmly and deliberately to consider the subjects which wiil then be discussed, and having done so, firm If to unite in whatever may appear most, advisable fortlic welfare of the existing constitution ; this I consider to be a duty which every Protestant alike owes to his con- science, his country, and his God. I am, fellow- countrymen, your friend and obedient humble ser- vant, " HARRIS. " October 8th. " P. S Brother freemen, let order be your pass- word on Penenden Heath, on the 24th inst."

PROTEST AST DECLARATION. We have great pleasure in inserting the follow- ing declaration, adopted on Friday at a highly respectable meeting of the clergy " in ihe neigh- bourhood of Maidstone. We trust that the ex- ample will be followed universally throughout . the empire, by the sacred order, who, deeply int ' rested as Ihey are, both collectively and individually, iu the preservation of the constitution, are bound bv obligations incomparably stronger than tbe interest* of their body, or their personal interests, to take Ihe foremost rank in the defence of the altar, of which they are guardians no less than ministers : R. ect. AJLATFON. " We, the undersigned, being clergymen of the established church, resident in the deanery of Sutton, iu the diocese of Canterbury, and county of Kent, firmly attached lo our old and invaluable constitution, view, with extreme ansiety, the eil'orta that are niaking lo its prejudice, and, we fear, ultimate tit strut ' jm. Considering the proceedings of the Roman Catholics in Ireland to be highly dangerous to the Protestant institutions of Ihe united kingdom, to be manifestly tending to the subversion of Christian truth, and consequently of the pure and aposlolictloctrines. of tbe united church of England und Ireland, we deem it right to publish a brief declaration of our sentiments upon the subject. " We believe popery to be the same in its principles, its doctrines, and its practical influence, thai it ever has been; and when we see its fearful energy applied towards the attainment of political power; when we see, with deep regret, our brethren of the popish communion exercising over the minds of their people a tyrannous ascendancy, and perverting religion into an instrument ol- faction and violence, little short of rebellion, we cannot but step forward to endeavour to prevent, as far as possible, what we ju tge to be the necessary consequences of these occurrences, namely, either gross superstition on the one hand or total ii re- ligion on Ihe other. u We cannot fail to notice the encouragement which infidelity, scepticism, & latiltidiuarianism are giving to the encroachments of popery. The infidel, hostile to all revealed religion, and a- ixiona to disgrace Christianity with a view to what he hopes, its approaching downfall, advocates the cause of popery as one of its most absurd modifications, i'he latitudiiui'i, m, indifferent to all systems of religion, would place Protestants and Roman Catholics on a level, and, fearing to be called a bigot, with a strange inconsistency supports aod promotes Ihe very principle he professes to oppose ; while the papist, aware of this, encourages the idle dtvad of the name, and insidiously persuades the latilndinarian to espouse a cause," which, if successful, must end in his own discomfiture. Willi these dangers before us, we feel bound, by our consciences and our profession, not to remain silent spectators of them. We therefore entreat our fellow- subjects of the laity lo be watchful of their Protestant privileges, to maintain in their full vigour and pre- eminence the principles of. the reformation, and thereby to uphold Ihe great and holy causc of religious truth. We implore theni to beware of the encroachments of the Roman Catholics, seconded as they are by those who pretend not lo be aware of them; we mean infidels sceptics, latitudiuarians; and the professors of a specinu - but false liberality. And we pray that the blessing of God may attend Ihe exertions ofall who support our Protestant constitution in church and slate, and that our country may continue to be, at she long has been, the bulwaik of Protestantism, and a secure depository of the Protests it faith." * [ H.- re follow Ihe signatures of the clergy.] Ml P. MAID — Sir Humphrey Davy, in a recent publication, proves, as follows, that such an animal i » the fabled mermaid cannot possibly exist: ' Wisdom and order," he says, " are found in all the ways of God; and the'parts of animals are always in harmony with each other, and always adapted to certain ends consistent with the analogy of nature, and a human head, hands, aud breasts tire wholly inconsistent with a fish's iail. The human head is adapted for an upright posture, and iu such a posture ati animal with a fish's tail could not swim; and a creature with lungs must be on the sui face several times in a day, and the sea is an in- convenient breathing place; and the hands are instruments of manufacture, and the depths of the m ean are little fitted for fabricating Ihat mirror wh ch our old prints gave to the mermat l. Such an animal, if created, cott'd not long exist." RARA. AVIS.— On Wednesday last, a grey phali- ropc ( Tringa Lobatii of Lhmteus) was shot at Bishop's Cannings, b, Mr. Robert Ruddle, whilst, swimming in a pond near his house. This curious and pretty" bird is a native of the northern regions of Europe, Asia, and America; and migrates southward in tiie' winter.

" CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION UNRAVELLRD, in The French and German papers continue to give DIALOGUE between JOHN BULL and an AGITATOK wtyrh currency to reported reverses on the part of the Russians, and the silence of the latte? induces belief as to the truth of those statements. An article from Bucharest of the 26th ult. contains the foflpttjng account of the movements of the Russian aririjf before Ohoumla and its retreat: — " The Russians, in order to cover the corps which were retiring, continued to ot'£ upy s'mie intrencli- ments, but after having- bravely defended them, they evacuated them, probably learning that the Grand Vizier was march. ng by ihe rolid from Adrianople to the relief of Varna. Hussein Bey had followed the remains of the army from Chottmla, on the road to B. izardjik, and" detached'Sftiother corps on the road to SiUstria and Hirsova* in order to take advantage of the late eveitts before the firrft of these places, and threatened the Communications of the Russians on the Danube." The Russian Iferid quarters are stated to have been still at Bazardjik on the 19th ; but the difficulties in saving the materiel of the army, in the midst of the general distress, were said to be immense. Other acco\ mfc frotn Augsburg, Frankfort, and Berlin, are still mire disastrous"-, they represent the retreat of the Russians aS rapid and disorderly. Some accounts iri. jeed go so far a£ ib assort flfet the vy& ofe of Hittu. enstein's army had disbanded itself.— The French papers, after giving- these statements draw the conclusion, " that not only the fate of the campaign, but that of the war may be considered as settled." Success is said to have increased the pretensions of the Sultan, who, it is now stated, will not listen to any overture for negotiation until the Russians have re- passed the Danube and evacuated the principalities. ARREST or MR. LAWLESS.— The intelligence from Ireland begins to assume an important character. Mr, Lawless was on Thursday last arrested on a charge of sedition ; and a similar proceeding, it is sai l, is contemplated against another Catholic leader, tie was taken on a warrarrt iVom Mr. Justice Burton, charged with heading a multitude of twenty thousand men and upwards, at Ballibay, on the 2$ d ult.

Shrewsbury General Quarter Sessions. These Sessions commenced on Friday last, before William Cooper, E- q. Mayor; the Recorder ( the Right Hon. the Earl of Fowls) came into: Court and took his seat on the Bench during the sitting of the Court : aud the attendance on this occasion was alio, gether highly creditable to the Town.— Sir Andrew Corbet, Bart, was sworn as Foreman of the Grand I Jury. Thfe Deputy Recorder ( Joseph Loxdale, Es^ j ) in his charge to the Grand J nry, noticed ' the necessity that existed for the more effectual exerlumnofjhfti conservative powers of the Magistracy and police iu the suburbs of the town ; aud pointed, out the want of lighting* and watching under which the several' suburbs at Ibis time existed.— He also referred to the fact of a quantity of unwholesome fish having been' exposed for sale in llie town on the preceding day— a circumstance ... calculated to inflict great injury, by inducing cholera morbus and other diseases into fami lies who miyht incautiously purchase the injurious HI tide.— The Learned Gentleman concluded a very eloquent and forcible appeal lo ihe Grand Inquest, by observing that it was the duty of every person, from the Chief Magistrate down tojthe humblest individual, iti do ail that was proper and that lay in their power for, the peace, welfare, and good order of society. Some Petty Jurymen were directed to be fined 20s. each for non- attendance. JAMKS WOOD, who had, for reasons that were known only to himself, come down, as he said, from Loudon to our late Races, was found guilty on two several- iud'clmeuts for stealing a hat, on the Saturday in the Race Week. In the first instance, he had gone into a public- house, and when the prose- cutor was driink and asleep, walked off willi his hat, leaving him < i straw one instead \ and then entering a lodging- house, left the hat there which he had just stolen, and walked oH with one incomparably better, aud that contained an handkerchief to boot. — He was sentenced lo he transported for 7 years. EVAN RICXCTTS pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and oilier articles, the property of Joshua Keeling. At the Quarterly Meeting of the Dublin Guild of Merchants 011 Monday, Mr. Butler moved the adop- > tion of a petition to the King, AS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH, not to! allow', by conceding to the demands of the Catholics, any further1 encroachments 011 the church or " constitution.- The w » 6tich was seconded by- Sir Abraham B. King; and notwithstanding the opposition of Mr. LaCbuehe and a Mr. Ness, it was adopted almost unanimously, as was also a petition to parliament for the r.- peal of that part of the Irish Act, 23d Geo. III. which throws open the elective franchise to papists. The resolution of ii'forirasr meeting, for granting tlie freedom of the guild to the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis of Chatidos, the Earl of Winchilsea, and Lord Kenyon, was then unanimously confirmed.

Our readers have been surprised at the long silence of the Russian Government with respect to the military operations iu the East. Five weeks have elapsed since the date of the last Bulletin from before Choumla, and apwards of four since the date of the last Bulletin from Varna, and. above seven since the date of the last from vSilistria. We have at length, however, received a Bulletin from before 6' honmla, dated 21s( September, Varna 23d September, and Silisiwa only to the 28tlrof Abu nst. The C- houmla Eulletin passes over afl- events that occurred between the dateof the preceding Bulletin and the, present, viz. from ihe 13th to the 18th Septem- ber/— The present, Bulletin confines itself to a partial affair at Jeni- Bazar, between a Russian party sent out to forage, and a Tdrk- ish < letaehmeut from Choumla. After a sharp action the Turks retreated. It should seem as if the Turks had cleared the roadfrom Cboumla to Jeni- Bazar and lvosludschi, though the Bulletin states, that after this affair Major- General Poulet occupicd all the points by which the Turks might make sallies towards those two places. The success of the Russians, and the check of the Turks, seem to have b< en of little moment. The only- important fact established by this Bulletin is, that 011 the 20th ult. the Russians were still before Choumla— whether with their wbMe army or riot is not said. They had, in a former statement from St. Petersburg!!, informed us that the heavy baggage and hospitals had been sent oflTin the direction of Jeni- Bazar. The Varna Bulletin is only important for the same reason as the tf'houmla Bulletin— it shews that on the 22d September the Russians were stril before Varna, atxl were still'cmployed iu the eonslruction of works. Nothing is said of any intention to attempt an immedi- ate storm— or of any symptom of surrendering on the part of the garrison. The operations- before Stlist? ia occupy a period from the 2lst to the 28th of August. After some success in taking oxen and horses, General Roth \ at lacked the Ueighls before fris left'wing, where the Turks had entrenched themselves. The entrench- ments were carried in the night of the 25th Arfgust; ft* rt next, day the Turks made a vigorous attempt to retake them. A first column was repulsed— a second penetrated to the heights,- but was afterwards re- pirlscd— a third column again- reached th<* heights, but VrMts alrtO defcaU* d, and driven back to the walls of the fortress. rf'bis is all the official intelligence published by. the Russian Slate Gazette of the 12th instant. It con- tradicts the accounts that the Russians- had retreated fr* rm Chounila before the 21st— ami shews that Varna had not surrendered on the 22d. A Berlin account of the 13th says, that nothing- new had occurred before Vania on the 25th. But there is in the Paris Vr. p. eis of Friday and Saturday, an article frOm Bucharest, of the 29th oR. which mentions a general attack by the Turks, with 26,000 men and 30 pieces of cannon, upon Generals Langeron and Geisjrinr, o » v the 26th ult. in their enlrcnchinentsat Crajova. The battle lasted the whole day, adds this Russian account, without any marked result. At night- fall General Geismar made a- feigned retreat— but as soon as the Turks had, returned to their^ camp, the Russians, re- suming the offensive^ attacked the entrenchments, and at two in the morning the Turks were in full retreat to the Danube, with the loss of 500 men taken, 6 pieces of cannon, 21 standards, and 700 waggons; The Russians state tlieir loss to be only 200 men, amongst whom were several superior Officers. We have not, yet received the Turkish Bulletins of these affairs— but it seems clear, if the Turks attacked the entrenchments of the Russians at Crajova on the 26th ult. and the Russians retreated at night- fall, that the latter were compelled to abandon their en- trenchments, which, however, they say they regained by a subsequent attack, and forced the Turks to fetreat to the Danube. The Rev. James Compson, M. A. Vicar of St. Chad's, in this town, is appointed a Surrogate for granting Marriage Licences in the Diocese of Hereford. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOW- LEDGE.— On Wednesday morning last, the Anni- versary Sermon of this excellent Society was preached at St. Julian's Church, in this town, by the Rev. T. Salwey, M. A. Vicar of Oswestry, from Luke xi. 48. — The lion. Thomas Kenyon ( the President of the Meeting) was accompanied to Church by the Cor- poration, and by a numerous body of Clergymen and Gentlemen, Members and Friends of the Institution. — On the conclusion of the admired discourse delivered on this occasion, a collection was made towards assisting the Society in the great exertions how making by it, in the very widely extended Supply of Books, and for the more effectual diffusion of religious knowledge and instruction among the poor of the Salop District, which amounted ( includ- ing a donation of £ 10 from Lord Kenyon) to £ 63. PREFERMENT.— On Saturday, the 18th inst. by the Venerable Archdeacon Corbett, the Rev. Francis Leighton, R. A. of Trinity College, Cambridge, was instituted to the Rectory of Cardiston, in this county. — Patron, Sir Baldwin Leighton, Bart. HOLYHEAD ROAD.— We are informed that it is in contemplation to make a new line of road from Tern Bridge to Burcott Gate, in this county, by which Overley Hill will' be avoided.— The Acts under which the Trustees of the Shrewsbury and Wellington Districts derive their powers being about to be re- newed, Mr. Peele and Mr Penson, on the part of the Trustees of the Shrewsbury District, have had a con- ference with the Trustees of the Wellington District j a survey Iras been directed to be made; and, if that is approved of, it is intended to apply in the next Session of Parliament for powers to effect the im- provement. It gives us the greatest delight to communicate to the friends of the Constitution, the Throne, and the Altar, that a Brunswick Club, under the Presidency of Lord Kilmorey, is about to be established in this county .— S tockport A drertiser. On TuesdaV, the 7th inst upwards of sixty gentle- men, together with the presidents, sat down to the patronised dinner at th< § Castle Inn, in Wem. The company were entertained with every rarity the season afforded, and wines of the choicest quality. The evening was spent in the utmost harmony and conviviality, and the party separated at a late hour, expressing their Wannest commendations to Mrs. Drur^ for the tasteful manner in which the whole had been conducted. It was unanimously agreed that the meeting s'iould be annual; and presidents were chosen for tlie enstiing year. ST AM M ERTN Ci. — We have been? pleasingly asto- nished iu witnessing the cure Mr. ^ ull has performed on J.

At the late Oswestry Sessions, Mary Vaucfhan, for stealing linen, the property of Mr. Franklin, Mr. Roberts, and Mrs. Yates, was sentenced to be transported for 7 years. ROBUVRY AT BERGiirr. L'.— We stated in our last, that Fal low an active member of the police, had gone on the London road,, in pursuit, of parties concerned in this oflerice; and we have the pleasure of stating that on Monday, the J3th inst. he apprehended, iu LriUdori, a man named Edwards, who is believed to be deeply implicated in the robbery, and who, together with his wife, have been committed to onr County Gaol for further examination.— We are informed, it is very likely the greater part of the property stolen will be* recovered.^ Edwards and his wife are old offenders. INQUESTS.— The following have been lately held before Mr. S. P. Southam, one of the Coroners for this county:— At Astley Abbotts, on view of the body of Joyce Pearce, 88 years old ; she was retiring to rest, when she fell from the top of the stairs to the bottorn, and fractured her skull. At Coreley, on the body of Mr. W. W. Hancocks, whose horse fell down upon him as he was going to Hereford ; he lay in the road from twelve o'clock at night until five next morning, arid had been calling for help nearly the whole time. Surveyors should be particularly eautioits in leaving large heaps of stones in the road, as it appeared that the deceased's horse, in order to avoid the stones, swerved across the road and fell.

Mr. Bather appeared as Counsel for the appellants ; and he stated, as the grounds of appeal : 1st, that the inhabiting householders above- named ( with the ex- ception of Mr. Jenkins) were under rated in propor. tiou to ihe value of their respective occupations, while the appellants were over rated in proportion to the value of their several occupations ; 2dly, that IVTr Perry was charged with the rate of premises that were iu the occupation of Mr Jenkins, whose name did. not appear 011 the rate at till; 3dlv, that the rate pro. fessed to be a rate for one month, while, iu fact, it was levied at once iu such a sum as was calculated, lo. cover tlie expenses of the whole \ ear; and, flthly, that the rate was for other objects than the relief anji employment of ihe poor, although it professed to he a rale for the relief and employment of the poor ot. ily^: " ' .1--. . k... : - 1;..,, ill f Pfirrv'e' It- inn* It appearing that ihe insertion of Mr PerryYnnipe isite the premises occupied by Richard Jepkitis. opposite Esq. was an inadvertency in making out ihe rat^, the 2d ground o( appeal was subsequently waived •, as was also the 4th : we shall therefore omit further noiice of them, and confine our detail to those points on which the case was examined ami discussed. After a discussion on the form and period of the notice given by the appellants, and which was objected lo by Mr. Temple and Mr. Loxdale on behalf of ihe respondents, while Mr. Bather contended that it was good iu both respects, the Court decided the point in favour of the appellants; and the Court proceeded to hear evidence. M r. Richard White, assistant- overseer of Ihe parish, being called by ihe respondents to prove the delivery of Ihe notice of ihe rate being allowed to the clerk of the parish for publication in ihe church, Mr. Bather, on behalf of ihe appellants, cross- examined him. Mr. While staled that the rate for the present year was Is. lOd. in the pound ; for 1827 it was Is. lOd. in the pound ; and for 1826 il was 2s 3d. in the pound ; and that he should think the rate of Is lOd. allowed for the parish ibis year might be sufficient for II or 12 mouths in his opinion it would certainly suffice for more than one month. Mr. James Spenee proved that he showed to Mr Burd and lo Mr. Wyley all ihe lands, & e. occupied bv Mr. Yomijj in the parish of Holy Cross and St. Giles Mr. John Legh proved that he showed to the same gentlemen alt the lands, ike. occupied by Mr. Robert Legh in the said parish. Mr. Tiinoiheus Burd, land- agent, then proved that the total quantity of the lands occupied by Mr. Young- as above was 102A. 3lt. 20P. ; aud these the witness valued as now worth to rent per annum at £ 239. 17s 2d. Witness said he and Mr. Wyley went over Mr. Young and Mr. Legh's lands together ; but that their several valuations of Mr. Young's lands, although Ihey afforded a remarkable coincidence in amount, were made quite independently of each other ; as also were their respective valuations of Mr Robert Legh's lau( b^, with theexception of two fields, and as to the\ e two they had a conference. Mr. Legh's lands were in quantity 130A. 2R 3,- P. and he ( Mr. Burd) valued ihese at £ 326. 4s. 8d. per annum. Mr. Wyley, land- agent, was then examined.— He said he had valued Mr. Young's lands at £ J38. 16s. 9d. and Mr. Robert Legh's at £ 329. 13s. 9d. per annum. Mr. Bather paid a high compliment to the ability of the two gentlemen just examined; and said there could be no surer proof of the accuracy of the princi- ples on which they made their valuations, than their remarkable coincidence iu amount, although made independently, and without reference to each others, except as to Ihe two fields mentioned. A tianscripl of portions of ihe Rate Book was then ( given in, from which il appeared thai ihe following- parties were . rated for the tot; il of their several hold For the Respondents, Nlr. Richard Griffithes, land- agent, was called, and stated his valuation of the several premises mentioned, as follows : « — Mr. Young's lands £ 29& 4s. l0d.; Mr Robert Legh's £ 426 5s 3d ; Mri. James Hiles's lands, including the Abbey Mea- dow, ±> 7 16s. 3d.— He said he had been a laiid Valuer for 35 or 40 years. On his cross- examination by Mr. Bather, lie sifiid he rained this laud in( 1820, for the purpose ofiissessnient.. 4- lii the last 7 years there had not been a great redue- tion in rent. He framed his valuation of arable laud a ' Conting ' to the price of corn. He could not say thai lie knew ihe average price of corn for ihe 7 years preceding and for the 7 years since 1820. He consi- dered the average price of corn a material ingredient pin valuing arable land.— The prices of corn were higher iu the 7 years preceding 1820 than they have bien since, hut ihe produce was less — In 1820 he valued , Mr. Robert Legh's lands at £ 417, and Mr. Young's at £ 291. 9s. Id.— Since that time, iu his business as land- agent, he had not made large abate- meats of rent to tenants; he had made occasional large allowances by way of per centage for had years, hut he had since put them on again.— Throughout the country the ieuts were Certainly as high now as they Were in tS20. Re examined by Mr. Temple.— Mr. Young's lands are excellently farmed.— Land becomes more valuable by cultivation — Farm buildings aud a cottage have been erected on the lands occupied by Mr. Legh since 1820 ; the fences ate belter; and the lands better subdivided; so that the farm would set for more now than it did then.— 1 would take a lease for 21 > ears of Mr. Young's and Mr. Legh's lands at inv valuation; and 1 have uo doubt- l could find leuauts enough to lake them. Mr. Samuel Smith was then examined.— He had been aecustoined to value, houses, & e.— He had valued Mr. lliies's house, mill, and premises at £ 150 ; he had examined every part of them prior to making this valuation. lie had valued the whole of Mr. Hussey's premises a 1 £ 80 lie had Valued lire Dun Cow lull and appurtenances, occupied bv Mr. Pugh, at £' 5 — If ihe house were not a public house, he should not consider it worth so much" , j He IVad valued Mr. Maddy's house nnd garden at £ 30; Mr. Hall's limber- yard, ( exclusive of his dwelling- houffe, & c.) at £ 20; and Mr. Graham's piemises al £ 25. He had valued the houses iu 1820 for the purpose of making out the assessment lo ihe poor's rale — On thai occasion he had examined every house inside and out, up and diVwn.— He had done so in making the piesent valuation of the Dun Cow Inn. Iu rating for parish assessments, it was the custom to rate lauds at 1 bree. fourths of ihe valuation, and houses at two- l birds. Mr. Thomas Groves, buifdfr, was examined .— He had accompanied Mr Smith in making his valuation 1 f. r the present occasion, and had concurred with him iu his valuation of the premises mentioned, with the exception of Mr. hall's timber- yard, & c. which he ( Mr G ) valued at £ 25. This closed the case for the respondents". Mr. Bather then addressed the Court on behalf of the appellants; and having contended that the rate was bad, on the ground of its professing to be but for one month, while. the sirin levied under it was calcu- lated. as a provision for the poor for the whole year, proceeded to the main point of the inequality of the rate as regarded the occupiers of land and the occupiers of bouses. The real colour of the transaction was, he said, of vast importance to the inhabitants of towns and 10 the occupiers of land wilhin the parishes in which to « ns were situated. The question really was, v hether the great occupiers of land, who were not the great generators of paupers, were to bear a much greater share of maintaining the paupers than did Ihe houses in which Ihose paripers were generated ? There WHS in some places a custom— a had aud illegal custom as he contended— to make a larger allowance on rating houses thail on rating lands; and he thought the present appellants hud acted a most manly and highlv creditable part in bringing this matter to issue. The Learned Gentleman then noticed the remarkable coincidence between the valuations of Mr. Burd and Mr. Wyley ; and said there could he no greater proof of the accuracy of their principles of valuation, as well as of the soundness of their views, than the approximation that there was in their valua- tions to the actual rent, and which valuations must have been made with a due consideration of the altera, lions in agricultural circumstances from 1820 down to The Shropshire i'ox- lloands will meet Saturday, Nov. l « t....

He could not build such a house and premises for less than from £ 700 to £ 800. He valued Mr. Robert Hussey's premises separately, the dwelling house, & c';. at £ 22, and the ' mil! and appurtenances at £ 70 per annum. He has since heard that Mr. Ilussey pays £ J00 per annum for the wliole. He valued Mr. Pugh's pYemhes, the Dun'Cow fun, with garden, stable, ahd croft ( one quarter of an acre) of land, at £ 49. 5s. per annum. lie valued Mr. John HalVs timber- yard" and build- ings at £ 26. 9s. aud his house and garden'at £ 13 per aniuffn. Mr. James Hiles would not permit him to enter upon his premises to examine them : he met him outsidcy and told hhn he ought to value them there; for he would 1 he' 11 do as the person that last valued them did, who went' 110 further.— He ( Mr. Bir< rh) should, al a supposition, froinj tbe be'sl- observations he could make, think- Mr. Hifes's house, gafdeti, mill," and malt house w* u th £ 200 per annum. There was a meadow of lanrf also which he did'uot see, and which lie did not take into account; He was not pJrmHted to examine the inferior of Mr. Maddy's house, but he valued it at £ 40 per annum. In ihese valuations he allowed nothing for dilapida- tions : he considered that houses in Abbey . Foregate had of late years increased in' value.— Mr. Birch 8 fa led that, besides Kfs general business iu that line, he had valued the whole of the buildings in Si. Mary's parish for llie purposes of assessment to poor rates. Mr. Robert Oakley was then examined.— He valued' Mr. Graham's premises at £ 30; Mr. Hussrey's al £>' 4 ; Mr. Hall's timber-) ard, & C. at £ 25. 10s.;' Mr. Hall's house and garden al £ 15.— Mr. Hiles would not allow him to examine his premises.— In these calculations he allowed nothing* for dilapidations, excepting to the mill. — In valuing? houses for sale such allowance would he made, but not in valuing for the purposes of assesis- nie'nt.— it is the landlord's province to put houses in repair, and therefore the allowance is made in valuing premises for sale. Mr. John Rogers, who had rented mills, ahd whtf had known the Abbey Mill and premise* for many years, was then called. He thought Mr. James lliles's house, mill, & c. were worth £ 150 per anuum to rent, exclusive of the inalthouse'. Mr. Burd was further examined.— He valued t, he hind occupied by John Pugh at £ 19. 17s. 4d.; in which valuation Mr. IV^ ley concurred.— He valued the landii occtipied by Mr. Hiles at £ 64. 3s. exclusive of the Abbey Meadow, which latter he did not see, but which was rated at £ 12. Mr. Wyley said he had valued the lands occupied bv Mr. Hiles at £ 62. 13s. 4d. exclusive of the Abbey Meadow. This closed the case of the Appellants. 1827 ; iu that period the prices of grain had been much lower than in the 7 years preceding 1820; Mr. Young's and Mr. Legh's farms were arable farms ; and it was well known that enormous losses had occurred to farmers of such lauds during recent years. Mr Bather proceeded lo show the comparative amount of inequality rn live rates, and said, he would take the houses at the valuation given on the part of the respondents, for as regarded them, the witnesses on both sides we're very nearly agreed. Mr. Young was rated at Il- I2ths and Mr. Legh at 17- lSihs of the actual \ alueof their lands as given by Mr. Burd and Mr W \ ley ; while, of ihe respondents, Mr. Graham was not rated at one- half the value, of the premises lie occupied; Mr. Hussey at about one- half; Mr. Puyli at not one half; Mr. Hall at not one- half; Mr. James Hiles at about two- thirds ( on bis house, mill, & c.) ; and Mr. Maddy at about two- thirds; and these were only a few cases selected just lo shew ihe system ; the appellants eould have brought 40 or 50 more if neces- sary. If ibis system were allowed lo continue there would be appeal upon appeal, and the parish would be involved in continual litigation. Mr. Temple, for the respondents, said, that in 1820, there was a new valuation of ihe parish, made iu consequence of the threat of an appeal ; Mr. Griffilhes had then valued the laud*, and Mr. Smith the houses; ami upon the valuation then made the present rate was founded ; a proper distinction being drawn, and ft due all » w nee ui ide, on rating housesas distinguish* d irom lauds; and this was < 1 one upon a principle thai had always been recognised in law ; it being welt known that iu rating or occupying a farm, no charge was made for ihe house or farm buildings, but the 1 rale and rent were levied according to the acreage : j and this pti. nciple il was, which, in laying a rate, had ! been the « round of the custom of rating houses 011 a 1 lower scale, because I hey were continually requiring repairs and inducing expense, and had an evident and acknowledged tendency to decay; land, 011 ihe con- trary, always remained, and its general tendency ( excepting where it was waste) was to increase in value. In what relutive proportion lands and houses « hou d be rated was a question that had never be? u df lei mined, and must naturally depend in many Casj% 011 local circumstances. But llie principle given in evidence, by which one- fourth was deducted from the value of land, aud one- third from tlie value of houses, was undoubtedly good, aud in the present iiistahce, he thought, extremely proper; and, in his opinion, left 110 ground for the present appeal. The appellants did not complain that their lands were rated at different relative proportions as compared with oilier lands; but merely that thev were not rated in ihe same proportion as the houses ; which, as he would ^ ew, would not sustain their present application to the Court. The Learned Gentleman cited several cases in support of his view of ibis case; and after- wards observed, that lauds, properly Cultivated, as those of the appellants evidently were, improved in value in a series of years; and he thought, generally speaking, all lands were worth" as much now as ill 1820; indeed, lands adjacent to a' large TNWN, as these were, had a gradually increasing rate of value; and whatever discrepancies til? re might be in Mr. Griffiihes's valuation as compared w ith those of Mr. Burd and Mr W;. ley, he had no doubt that valuation was formed 011. just views aud'sound principles. The object ion taken by Mr. Bather as to the rate being made for one mouth was not tellable, it being compe- tent to the officers to make it for one week, one month, or any term they pleased, ihe amount levied being matter of account, and to be examined as other parts of the officers' accounts were. /\ s lo Ihe question now before the Court, he thought it would he much belter lo quash than to amend the rate, if the Court should be of opinion that the appellants were over rated; for ' if their ratings were altered, while those of the other occupiers of land remained as at present, an injustice would lie done lo the latter. His firm opfnion, how. 1 ver was, looking to the valuation of Mr. Griffithes, that the appellants had no just ground for their pr( sent application lo'the Court, and" that their appeal 111 iisi he dismissed. Mr. Loxdale followed on" the same side, and in- sisted iha', upon a comparison of the respective r tings complained of with the valuations given on the part of the respondents, which he examined in detail, there was no ground for the present appeal. Mr. fiat her replied.— He saidlhe a ppel lants wished lo quash- the rate; for it was unfitting that the bad sysirm which they had hail the manliness to expose, should be continued. If the rate taken for one month Were levied as f< r a year, it would be an act of gross iiij- fivt'ee to paities leaving their holdings in that . period, and who could not refuse to pay the whole sum levied; and as to Ihe cases recognising the imwualiiy of rate now complained of, which Mr. Temple had cited, they would not serve the present purpose; for he ( Mr. B ) would show others in which it had been held right lb asses* houses at a greater rate than lands; and upouv the very best ground ; for 1 here, as in the present case, Ihe houses were ihe nidus from which ihe paupers originated; and it had been determined that ihe description of property which generated them ought to hear ihe greatest proportion of their maintenance. The Learned Gentleman then read the cases to which he referred. The only comparison of rate 011 which Mr. Temple and Mr. Loxdale bad relied with any confidence in shewing their. comparative statements was the Abbey Mill ; and they did right lo do so ; for if the gentle- men employed by the appellants had been mice or rats, Mr. . Hiles could not have been more jealous of their entry upon his premises. ( Laughter.) Mr. Hiles, however, was an jioyest miller, and as he would not wish to dip his toll- dish into his neigh- bour's corn, so neither ought he to dip il into Ins pocket bjr ihe process of wVit- h this rate was ihe instrument. He ( Mr. B.) knew Mr. Griffilhes Well; a most respectable man he was ; but there was no man in the agricultural line ; there was 110 benevo- lent, 110 gentlemanly landlord, no deserving tenant, that did not well know I10W large had been ihe abatements of rent, how great had been the losses of farmers, in the disastrous period from 1820 lo 1827. On his own honour, he could say, that as a landlord he had felt bitterly the pressure of ihe times, for lie had felt it his duly to make proporiiouate abatements; as a farmer, too, he had bitterly felt that pressure, but he had been liberally dealt with by his own landlord ; and such must have been the case between ail parties who look a just view and due consideration of ihe subject. These gentlemen, Mr. Burd aud Mr. Wyley, aating as honest, as honourable men, who had a character to sustain, and whose duly it was to hold the balance even between ihe parties whose interests were confided to them, had most properly taken this altered stale of the farn. ing interest, aud these circumstances, into their consideration ; not that he meant to disparage ihe character or the experience of Mr. Griffithes, for whom, as an old friend, he had every reason to entertain the highest respect. But the fact was, Mr. Griffilhes generally practised and resided in a country into which he ( Mr. B) had for more than two years at a former period been doomed to undergo ihe curse of banishment! ( Laughter.) God be praised, he had been enabled lo escape from thence I ( Much laughter.) To those who resided among the rocks and wastes beyond the Longmynd, where nothing met their eyes but the Black Rock and the adjacent crags of the neighbouring hills, the sight of a land flowing with milk and honey, like Ihe Vale of the Severn, set them wild— it was to them the Laud of Goshen, and they thought no price was too large to put upon it! ( Renewed laughterBut, to he serious, there was a price beyond which ibis laud was not io be valued : there was a rate at w hich this laud would noi pay the occupier : and this Mr. Burd and Mr. Wyley, whose practice was chiefly among the superior districts of the country, well knew, and their valuation had confirmed the justice of their calculations. It was idle to set up such a calculation as ihe Learned Gentleman had done on behalf of the respondents; for if the average valuation of the three gentlemen who had valued ihe lands in question were taken as the criterion, it would be found 011 examina- tion that a rate levied under il upon the principle of the piesent rate, would be at a rate that actually exceeded the rack rent of the appellants ; while, upon ihe respondents' own valuation, it appeared that Messrs. Graham, Hussey, Pugh, and Hall, were, taken together, not rated at one- half, and Messrs. Hiles and Maddy at only two. thirds ; and he would contend that, compared with the repairs of houses, the outlay necessary lo the cultivation of land was as TO to 1. The question really was whether the occupiers of land, w ho for the most part did not reside in the parish, were or were not to be saddled with an inordinate burden of rate, laid upon them by the occupiers of houses, who, as lliey filled the parish offices, had the power of doing so in their own hands, unless the Court should think fil to interfere? One influential person in ihe parish had told the appellants that they should be fought With their own money, and whether the appellants succeeded or not, that would assuredly be the Case. He trusted, however, the gross inequality that fie had now exposed to the Court would bv them be redressed, and that the Rate against which he now appeared would be quashed. The Court deferred their decision until Tuesday ; to which day the Sessions were adjourned. ADJOURNED SESSIONS The Mayor, Deputy Recorder, and other Magis- trates, took their seals on the Bench yesterday morning at ten o'clock ; when Evan Ricketts was placed at the bar. and sentenced to he transported for 7 years. Elizabeth Morris and Mary Thomas were put on their trial, on an indictment charging them with having conspired to defraud Mr. Robert Jones, grocer, of certain goods, or of part of the price of certain goods, his property.— The defendants, Morris and Thomas, reside in Castle Foregate; the former had been employed for many years by Mr. Jones, as shop- woman, 011 Market aud Fair Days; the latter was her sisfer- iil- taw ; and the allegation was, thai Morris sened Thomas with goods the property of Mr. Jones, and only took part of the price for the same: and this, il was averred, was done by concert between the defendants, and had been carried on for a long period. — The case occupied ihe Court about two hours; but. as it terminated in an acqfuiltal of the defendants, we need not go further into detail.

APPEAI; AGAINST A RATE. The decision of the Court was then jjiven as to the Appeal against the Rate of the parish of Holy Cross and Si. Giles; viz. That liie Rate shall he quashed : an EQT> AT. rate being lie made on ihe lands and the houses in the pai idi ; and proper persons are to be appointed lo value the parish for that purpose; ihe appellants to namd one valuer, the respondents to name the cither: ia case the nominees disagree, they aie to be empowered to call in a third person.— The appellants immediately naiiied Mr. Burd as their valuer, and ihe respondents named Mr. Griffithes as their valuer, with Itberty for ihese gentlemen to call in swell assistance ill valuing the houses as they may thinlc fit; Ihe valuers to name their umpire before they commence their valuation.

On Tuesday, an inquest was held at Whitfield, Herefordshire, on the bodies of W. Fisher, and W. Roberts, labourers, who lost their lives on the day precedirig, whilst opening an ice- mound, 9 feet deep and i2 feet in diameter, constructed in February- last. A very large aperture having been made, Fisher leaped into the well, and placing his hands on the bottom exclaimed " there is no ice here," when, in the action of stooping, his face having entered a volume of carbonic acid gas which had accumulated in the lower parts of the well, lie instantly fell back- wards, and never spoke afterwards. W. Roberts, and Mr. Lock wood, the gardener, immediately hastened to rescue him, and Roberts got hold of the body, with the intention of carrying it into the air, ex- claiming " poor Bill," but lie himself directly called for assistance, and the gardener reached his hand, which Roberts laid hold of with a firm grasp, endeavouring to. get out. of the mound, when his hand relaxing, he slipped from the gardener's hold, and fell dead! The gardener and several other persons present used every effort to rescue the unfortunate men, and nearly shared the same fate in their humane endeavours ; one suffered severely, and narrowly escaped death from the deleterious effects of the gas.

Particulars may be had from THE AUCTIONEER Wem, and will appear in a future Paper. infested with vagrants and other disorderly characters ? These are now classed among the humbler offences against social order; and the reason that they so much abound is, not that the Watch or the Police are insufficient, hut because tliej* e has been a want of exertion on the part of those who are in law hound to abate these nuisauCes. AVe have Constables aiid other officers of wards., liberties, and parishes; and it would seem, from the . common practice, that the powers given to them, and to the performance of wliith they are sworn, are mere words intended to u ean nothing. — Tfie Act for Paving, Lighting, Watching, &.' c. the Town of Shrewsbury, contains, a provision by which the duty of keeping Watch ami Ward is placed on every respectable male householder of a specified asre, in rotation, under a penally for neglect or refusal. Will any one say that this verv recent, most- just, and. salutary enactment, has been properly enforced? Tliis, Sir, is . only one specimen of the mode in which most of the Police Laws are carried into effect ; and, I am sorry to say, of which most of w hat is every one's business is transacted.— The clause in the same Act appointing an Inspector of Nuisances, and his neglect of duly, have been noticed by tlx* Committee : but they should also have levelled, their missile at hiirher game. If, Sir, those whose duty it is to enforce the powers of the law would duly exert those powers, 1 am of opinion the good order of the Tow n and Liberties of Shrewsbury will be very soon of that "- character which all right- thinking persons must wish - to see it ; and 1 most decidedly differ from the Committee in their opinion that a strange)- would Ire more efficient at the head. of our Police than' one well acquainted with the town and its vicinity, and with those who fre'qiient it. This acquaintance, Sir, is the very essence of value in a Police Officer ; and no Stranger, for obvious reasons, could so well execute tiie duty that would devolve upon hinf as Sifperiniendeut of Police in a town like this, a^ one who is welf acquainted with its localities, with the surrounding country, and with those who reside within the district of which it fortes thf* centre. A new man might be obtained he would for a time make a great fuss ; people would talk for a few days about the new superintendent.; lite novelty and..' bustle would shortly wear off; and tlie " lion1' would take his station aifiong the other ancient occupiers;" while the public would continue to be saddled with the payment of a heavy salary, the amount of which might be more beneficially applied. The amount of the saiaties of the officers employed by the Corporation is, no doubt, accurately st. ated by the Com mi i fee ; but they must, of course, T; e aware that those sums form only- a small portion of the ewo/ u. merits of some of those officer.^; the butchers1stalls iu the hands of one of the 44 ancient occujiiers, 11 and the sums collected from the stalls in the markets by another officer, wouUI ctA a yefy" respectable figure in addition to those w hich tTie ConVmitlte have affixed to their names. The Committee have not, liowever, noticed the vvao- es of the Walt. hihen; ami i shall, therefore, subj iin theui, and the number employed at different periods of one year : — From 1st of November to 1st of March, Ten, at 12s per w eek Frotft March to June, Six, at 9*. lid per week. From June to end of October, Six, at Ks.. 9d. The Watchmen found their own Candles. . Many persons, I believe, would not suppose that men could be found to perform such a dirty' for Is. 3d. per night iu summer, and for Is. per night in win- ter ; hut so it is. Now, Sir, this number might be rery well in- creased, aud without any additional burden.— lire office of Treasurer and. Surveyor of the Streets has been for some time almost a sinecure, and there has for some years been on the books a recommendation of ihe Committee of Management, bv which a con.. siderar » le saving in th s department has been coniem- plated. In this case, there can be no impediment as to ii ancient occupation and a reyuhxifon in this department alone would supply the additional Watch- men required • How far the benefit of Watching and Lighting can be extended to the suburbs, is a '. question tba- t assured- ly must rest with the most respectable residents of those divisions : if tjiev can do nothing to that end without an Ai t of Parliament, I am afraid little will be done : few of the inhabitants. I think, will be found to venture upon that experiment, with a cer- tainty of additional expense, and an uncertainty as to the nature of the burdens' which new provisions in a new Act would entail upon them : For in that Act who knows what ills may come! The present Act contains a very salutary piovision, that no rate beyond Is ( id shall be levied without the consent of those iu whose hands. two- ihirds in value of the property rated is placed ; and although 1 am far from wishing to see that day when a required im- provement shall be prevented by. any obstinate or unbecoming prejudice; vet why, if greater funds are required, was not the attempt made to obtain this consent ? Is not the fact notorious, that the rate- payers feel too" deeply the pressure of the present burden to consent to any further impost wiihout an adequate cause being shewn ? 1 am afraid the suburbs are made the wings" of the proposed Act, in the hope of thereby'•• being- enabled to introduce a new Act with powers jhat shall enable parties to levy an additional rate v/ ijhout the consent of the two. thirds or any other proportion of the holders of rated pro- perty. If the powers now in baud for the suppression of low and disorderly houses, and for the punishment . of the characters that fiequent them, were duly exercised, that branch of complaint would very sooii cease ; and here I differ from' the Conimiitee in thinking all attempts al improvement, other than they themselves propose, will be iluynlOTV \ llie e. x| ieost* of a few lumps iniyht he raised bv the m'ore o| iuleot residents of the suburbs ; and then if, after a svs'eiii of economy has reduced our present debt, ii can he shewn thai moie powers lire rcallv necessary, ihe inhabitants of the town would hi* better inclined lo . meet the proposition, tin the general point of a more vigilant Police being required, I must ( without wi, h- ingf to give otteuce) nsk-, why is mil the present Police more vgilnntJ A Corporate Body exists cither for good or for evil.

It their servants are not a chief portion of the Police of the Town, what lire ihey ? ami wlly'do some of thrill hold offices which in their very iinoies point them out as members of the Police, a. wi If as officers of ceremony ? As the receiving unit other disorderly bouses nre bv the Report declared to- be known, let al'i paities try what the exertion of their present powers, aided by an economical use of their present fuuTls, will do j and then, as 1 have iilreudy soid, if it can be shown that every thing po- sible lias been done, with, out the desired effect fieiug produced, let the pro. priet. i. rs nud l- aieahle inhahitiiuts of the town be duly convened, and lei the plain and unvarnished stale of the case be put before tlieiu; they will then, 1 doubt miserable generation proved backward in the cause of a Protestant Constitution? For wealth, influence* arul intelligence, the county of Kent yields to none other under the rule of a British King— would they forfeit the distinction, or render it a mockery, bV foregoing or forgetting a purpose, which, if not worthily accomplished, will have been advertised to their shame ? But let the « Men of Kent" take charge of their own character in this business. It is the CAUSK with which they fiaveidentified themselves,' and which, therefore, they have no right to dishonour, that justifies this earnest appeal to their best energies and principles. Let them reflect upon the conse- quences of their defection. They have ventured to promise an example in their own persons, whifl) the Protestants of England should follow; and whatever the example be, it is more than probable that thev will frtiuw it. If it be a vicious one— if it be. one that causes the desertion of the Constitution— then shall the shame and the ruin lie imputed to those, who spoiled the good tight by being the foremost in the onset, and the first to fly. On Penenden Heath we hope to see the goodly sight, which cannot be seen elsewhere, of Nobility, Gentry, and Yeomanry, merging the difference of rank in a common Caw*.

At the same time, we beseech them to - ware of beihg pTovoked from their propriety. Let the violence of no brawler, the foolery of . no mountebank cheat thein out of their discretion. The Attempt jvffl be made, but thev must bear with ijj. Let thern recollect that they will be the stronger partv, and ( Kat, therefore, they ought as men to be the more moderate. Brunswick Clubs in the adjoining counties of Somerset and Gloucester are, we are informed, about to be immediately formed; and these will be sup- ported by auxiliary clubs in several of the large cities and towns.— Bristol Journal. A grocer of Blackburn, distinguished for loquacity and officious interference, is at tl- is time in the regular • practice of sending out his small portions of tea, sugar, soap, and other articles, wrapped up in leaves ofthe Bible. This system has been carried on for a long time. It needs scarcely be said that he is a Papist. The Bibles are received via Liverpool, in hogsheads, from Ireland, and are sold to shopkeepers of the same class as waste pup. r• They are said to be collected by the Priests from their innocent flocks, certainly, without any other valuable consideration than an averted malediction.— To what side of their account do the Hibernian Bible Societies place these transactions? It were well for them to lake stock, and ascertain what number of their distributions remain even a few Weeks in the. hands of those to' whom they have been given. Their funds may by these means be made to flow into the far- famed rent. — Manchester Chronicle, ft is to be hoped that ( he method wliieVis resorted tii in lieu of Briefs, for increasing ( he funds of the Church Building Society, by an appeal from the. pulpits to the . liberality of the public, will meet with that, attention in our city which it. so justly deserves.: To every member of our Establishment, we would earnestly recommend the perusal of a sublime and impressive discourse bv Bishop Dehon, ( published, separately bv Itivingtons,) in which the duty of attending to the wants of our own country, by the erection of places of worship, is most clearly and ably set forth. TYe extract the following passage : — " Every effort of societies of men, every exertion oi' benevolent deed of individuals for establishing anrf extending the Church, and the offices thereof, is a co operation with the Almighty— a co- operation with Him in promoting the accomplishment of purposes dear to His mind, from before the foundation of the world ; and to which He has applied His attributes, devoted His Providence, and given ' His only begotten Son.' How ennobling the thought of being 1 workers together with God.' How strong the obligation upon us to be so, whenever it is in our power. When,' indeed, I contemplate the Almighty as the rightful owner of all things, who has distributed portions of them as He has seen fit among men, to lie used for His glory, and the good of His creatures; and behold His institut'ons languishing for want ofthe aid ofthe talents,. or influence, or wealth, which He hath given men: I see not how- they, with whoin He hath en- trusted any of these gifts, can escajie the imputation of withholding his own from God: when the state, too, in which He presents to their view the work' which they know He has in hand, indicates His will, that of His own which He had freely given them, thev should offer Rim a part for the honour of Hit name. * Will a man rob (•<>:! ?' said He to His ancient people when they bad suff- red the offices of HIT house to fall to decay ; ' Will a man rob God T Yet ye have robbed Me. Birt ye say, wherein have we" robbed Thee?— In tit& es and offjrings,'— intimating, that to so much of their wealth, as was necessary to the maintenance of His holy institutions among them, He had a claim, v.- hiclv it . would be, not iperelya want of beneficence, tj'. it an act of injustice to- Him not to acknowledge and discharge"— Bristol Journal.

( Jul there seems lo ha- vo been a ( Head of letting poverty be known, and an net, tile most desperate in itself, and in its consequences Ihe most disgr- u^- iful and disastrous, has been resorted to, for the purpose oi' concealing poverty, or lo add, if not to wealth, to what was ul least, for Ihe purposes of life, a sufficiency. The love of money, then, has been the motive power • which induced these men thus lo transgress Ihe laws of iheii- ecu try, al the risk, not merely of their lives, bul oi their good name, fame, and credit likewise. But, besides such actions as the one above noticed.; besides the numerous frauds, deceits, extortioi. s, robberies, and even murdeis, which ale commit! d for Ihe love of .. wealth, the passion leads to Other evils, and causes the stale of society to be less happy generally lhan il might be, w ere it not to exist in so great a degree as it seems to do ; for where il has firm hold of the mind, the finer feelings flee before il, and such a thing as com- passion tan find no footing. " I'll have my bond," says the avaricious man ; and no pica of poverty or distress can divert him from his purpose. He has no wish for the thrift ofauy bul himself; and lie can view Ihe anxious, the arduous struggles of lite iu- clustriouft bul poor man, and eve- u his distresses, with the apathy of a stoic. It never occurs lo him thai a trifle, which he would scarcely miss from his ample store, might be of infinite value to some • Uttering: spirit ; that even a loan, which would be repaid with interest, might be Ihe seed of such a man's prosperity, and render a whole family happy. No, he hoards his gold as if it were ull llial con tributed happiness, and, even though the un- fortunate applicant should happen to be one who had formerly done him a service, still,- unless a recompense can be demanded by law, none is to be looked for from the avaricious man's favour. This, we apprehend, as well as being au evil in itself, is a cause', also, of other evils iu the way of reaction; for persons, finding'how difficult it is to obtain assistance from the rich, will sometimes be steeled against assisting others; and thus a spirit, Y. ery contrary to the good and wholesome laws of Christianity, gains ground and prevails. For persons to be diligent iu business, and IHELAKD.

Amongst the Various enjoyments of life, not* the least is that of seeing others made happy through our means That love of money, therefore, which shuts out compassion is mischievous, and replete with evil.

LONDON BFGGARS.— A book recently published concerning < l life in London, v gives,' witl. t other curious matters, tlie follow ing- account. of the " craft"' of beggars. The author puts it in the mouth of the landlord of a beggars' hotel, who appears to bean antiquarian and a philosopher:-^--—" The beggar's calling', if not one of the . most respectable, may, doubtless, be regarded as one of the most ancient. In every'part of the glebe where man is congregated, ihe inequality of his condition, the too frequent indolence of his habits, or the shifts to which human misery is occasionally reduced, vvill compel him to depend lor his support on the generosity of his felfow- crvatu'res, and even son. etime. s lead him to this disgraceful mode of existence-. 1 thinjc, " continued the kirrdiord, " there are - seven thousand beggars upon tire town daily, and that they each beg two shillings a day, t^ ke one with the other,— that is £ 700 a day. There are between two hundred and three hundred beggars fi- etj'. K'nt uiy house in the Course of the day. 1 an particular as to whom 1 have to leep here. In some houses, a fellow stands at the door and takes the money : for threepence they have straw, for fourpence they have clean straw, i, i, d for sixpence a mattress to sleep on. The servants go and examine all the places, to see that ali is free from felony , and then they ajfe let out into the streets j vistas you would open the door of a gaol ; and at night they come in again.

PUGILISTIC FKCOUNTFRP.— Two young mcn,. at. Kipley, Surrey, fought on Wednesday for a considerable time, and were; eventually separated. They, however, renewed the battle on lliursday morning, whep after fighting upwards ofan hour one of them , received a blow in the netk, which killed him instantly.— Owing to a quarrel between two persons' residing at Weston, near Spalding, on Saturday last, a fight took place, when one of them named Foather- etone, received a blow, whereby he was so bruised that, he only lingered until the following morning, when he expired. On the 4th iust. a meeting; was held in the Court House, Londonderry, for the purpose of forming' a Brunswick Constitutional Club for the City and Liberties of Londonderry. Sir Robert Ferguson, Bart, was called to ihe chair; and in moving- the appointment of the President and other Officers of the Club, JAMES GREGG, Esq. addressed the Chair- man, as follow s :- T- Siv Robert Ferguson,-— It has fallen to my lot to move the fourth resolution for the adoption of the present meeting-; and that is, that this Club shall consist of a President, Vice- Presidents, Treasurer, and Secretary, and before J do so permit me to offer a few words on the subject of our meeting here this day. I. shall not trespass upon you long, as 1 have had occasion lately to express my senti- ments ut large ut two public meetings. Believe me, 1 should be sorry to trouble you at all, alter the very aide speech yon have heard from mv respected friend, Mr.. Schoales, in every sentiment of which !• perfectly concur, did I not conceive it to be the duty of every true Protestant, and every loyal man, at this awful and important crisis, to let no opportunity pass of declaring his determination, at ail hazard, to support the Coustitutioti as estab- lished by our wise forefathers at the memorable period of 16^ 8. ( Cheers J in support of it this meeting- has been called this day; because it has been menaced by a traitorous Association, which has assumed to itself all the powers of the Govern- ment of the country, and threatened that Govern- ment with aiinihiluiion. It ia not idone, Sir, to support the Government, that we are met, but it is to save the Roman Catholics from themselves, from that many- headed monster, which has not only alarmed the Protestant mind-, but which has in its treasonable progress done the greatest possible injury lo the Roman Catholic cause. ( Rear, hear. J 1 do u « t deny the Roman Catholics the right to petition, or to seek for such privileges as they think themselves entitled to enjoy-— no man can find fault with them for doing' so, but 1- protest in the most solemn manner, ai d in the fa- e of tire country, and iu the hearing of many Roman Catho- lics who it. re now present, against the menacing; and treasonable attitude which a body, declaring itself to be the representatives of the Roman Cat hoik* population, have assumed towards the Government of the country. hi grafting:, them the right to petition, L cannot! for a moment- peld the right which, the Protestants also have to assert their privileges, and to maintain at every risk that Protestant Constitution, which- has,, for nearly 150 years, Supported the cowntry through many arduous trials, and raised it to the highest rank among the nations of the world. That which was purchased in many a. hard- fought 6eld, and at the price of so much blood, should not be tamel- y surrendered, much less. ought it to be. yielded to the threats of treason, or the'efforts of a rebellious mob. if the Roman Catholics think they have grievances to be redressed, let them come like petitioners to the door of the- Constitution, but let them not like robbers dare to break It open**- let them come to a Protestant King-,, and a Protestant Parliament, and humbly solicit what they never can expect to obtain through the mischievous and treasonable efforts of" those who have put- themselves forward as their leaders—• through such incendiaries i- s an O'Counel', a Shell, and a Lawless, who have at length thrown off the mask, and marshalled the ranks of rebellion and disloyalty throughout the laud. ( Hear J It is not by traducing every fching- that is estimable iu the land that they can expect: to advance their cause— It is- father, by, separating themselves, if yet it be possible* from a power which must be crushed, and which . jought . not to be permitted to exist for a moment, under any, much less under a Protestant Government. ( i'he& rs. J Have riot these vile, these traitorous and unprinci- pled demagogues, vilified and traduced every thing sacred in the land? Did they not do all in their power to wound the character mid plant with thorns the dying pillow of the illustrious York, the brolhe/ of our enlightened Monarch, tire Heir- Apparent to the Throne, and the son of a Sovereign to whom they are indebted fur ail the privileges they already enjoy? Did not one of these vile and unprincipled orators represent him as a tyrant and an enemy, to their cause-— as one in whose death they gloried? Is it by means like these that they expect to arrive at Emancipation r Rather let the Constitution perish than be contaminated by such an unhallowed union. (( heers. J Let the Protest ant plant his foot upon the threshold and fight inch by inch, and if beaten back, let him seize upon the horns of the altar; and conquer or pe rish with the right*, liberties, and religion of his country ( Tremor'. dvvs cheers ) But the time, Sir, thank God, lias arrived when the traitors have been unmasked— when rebellion has raised its standard in- the heart ejl the country, and when twenty, thirty, and fifty thousand Roman Catholics have had the audacity to march in military array through the south oi Ireland, carrying ten* r into the hearts and dwellings of his Majesty's peaceable subjects The < ry of 0* Conucll for the hereditary bondsmen to strike the blow" hus been answered by thousands of disciplined rebels, - and Ireland has been shaken to i! s centre.

Is it by being the servile tools of a big cited Priesthood, who have disgraced them- selves, and who, forgetful of their proper vocation, have audaciously employed their unhallowed au- thority in wresting from Protestants their privi- leges, for their own ambitious purposes, and dis- solving the natural ties that should subsist between landlord and tenant, that lliey expect to gain their- ends. I say they never tan. ( Cheers J True it is, the Government has at length become alive to the- sense of the dai- gers which nmnace the country, and a Proclamation has been at length issued to put down the insurrection in the south, and etop the progress of the crusader in the north, for this act, tardy as it has been, the country should he grateful; but if it had goiie ore step further, and by one short paragraph annihilated the traitorous Assembly now sitting in Dubliu « - f/ ow</ cheers for several viinufesj— that pandemonium, from whence all the present evils of Ireland flow, which has totally disorganized and deranged society and shaken the country to its centre, it would have secured peace to this distracted land, and would be entitled to the nation** gratitude. It is the opinion of. many well- informed persons, in which 1 fully coincide, that the law is at present fully sufficient for the purpose, and 5 think the declai- a tion of Mr. Sheil, at one of their last meetings, namely, that. " they are the re; preseulati\< » of the people," completely brings this budy under the meaning of the i^ ot of lire 33d of the late King, entitled, an Act to prevent the election or appoint- ment of unlawful assemblies, which, after mention- ing that the election or appointment of assemblies purporting to represent the people, or any descrip- tion or number of ihe people of this realm, under pretence of preparing or presenting- petitions, com- plaints, remonstrances, and declarations, and other addresses to the King or Parliament, for- altering- of matter* e& Ublishtd by law, or redress of alleged grievances in Church and State, may be made use of to serve the ends of factious und seditious per sons, to the violation of the public p^ ace, and the great and manifest encouragement of riot, tumult, and disorder; be it therefore enacted, that all assemblies, committees, or other bodies of persons elected, or in any other manner constituted or appointed to represent, or assuming or exercising a right or authority to represent the people of this realm, or any number or description of the people of the same, & c. & c. under pretence of petitioning- for, or in any other manner procuring an alteration of matters established by law in Chur. eh and State, ike. are unlawful assemblies, and it shall and may be lawful for any mayor, sheriff, justice of the peace, & c. & c. and they are hereby required and uuthoriseil, within their respective jurisdictions, to disperse all such unlawful assemblies, and if re- sisted, to enter the same and to apprehend all persons offending' iu that behalf." If this seditious assembly does not Come within the meaning of this Act, 1 kuow not what does. Have they not de- clared themselves representatives of the people— do they not hold adjourned meetings from day to day-- have they not levied contributions from the people to an enormous amount, for purposes un- known to the law— has not their leader called out daily to his hereditary bondsmen to strike the blow — has not his summons be » en answered by near one hundred thousand ruffians, with leaders at their head, in all the attitude of civil war— has not this assembly created and encouraged riot, tumult, and disorder throughout the country, and after revolu tioniziug the south, have they not delegated one of their emissaries to disorganize the north also, therefore feel myself borne out when 1- say that the law, if put in foi cf, is sufficient to put them down ; let t! i;• first fellow that takes the chair be dragged from his seat of treason, let him be handed over to the just vengeance e> f the law, let the question be put in issue before a jury, and I pledge myself the result will be satisfactory to the offended laws of the country, which have beeu so long and so shame fully outraged with impuri ty. With respect to this Club, and others of a similar nature,. 1 agree wilh Mr, Schoules, that th- ey are intended alone for defence, not for offence; if 1 thought for one moment they were of the latter description, I should cease to' be- a member-'; but things are" at length come to such a crisis that the Protestants are called I upon to act iu seifcpreservation—-* th<* y are Justified i by the law of nat ure, as well as by t- heir regard-' for the established institutions of the eoiwitry, no longer to remain inactive spectators of the scenes that are going forward ; and they are bound by the duty they owe their children to preserve the hlheiUance they have received from their forefathers, and hand it down unimpaired to their posterity. One would think, according- to modern doctrines, that the right was ali on one side— that the Roman Catholics were entitled to every thing they sought, and the Pro- testants hael no right to withhold, or in other words, that in the adjustment of this question the Protest- ants were to be kicked out. of the scale. I view things very differently. 1 assert that the Protest- ants are the fiist to be consulted; they are in possession of hereditary rights, dearly earned and solemnly adjusted, and not only their opinions, but their' very fears and jealousies ought to be the subject, in the firs' instance, of the deepest consi- der ^ io.;— because if their rights are to be surren- dered, they must be surrendered never to be re- called, and the deed that now seals their doom must seal it for ever. Such is my notion, and such is the view, 1 am happy to say, which is taken of it by every true and honest Protestant. The meetings that are daily holding prove the intense interest the Protestant Kobility, Gentry, and farmers are taking on the subject, it; must be gratifying to every loyal man to see how these Clubs are gaining round. Yesterday there was an immense meeting of all the Gentlemen of property, and Landholders, at Newtown- Liniavady ; the day before a similar meeting- at Colei aine, so numerous that they had to proceed from the Court house to the Bowling- green. A meeting- is to be held immediately iu Magherafelt, and so alive are the Protestants to the danger that threatens them, that boi'ore the meeting of Parliament the whole country will be formed into one indissoluble phiila, nx of Protestantism. This Ti ili. nerve the arm of his Majesty's Govern merit, and enable the illustrious Wellington, and his Protestant friends in the Cabinet, to act, as he himself pointedly expr sses i>, firmly and fearlessly in the work, of legislation. S have heard that ! have beeu lately taxed with bigotry and iliiberality, but 1 fling back the foul charge in the teeth of those w ho make it with the. contempt it deserves— my whole life gives the lie to the assertion. Where is the Roman Catholic within these walls 1 have ever injured ? Where is the one that ever applied te> me to do a service that I have not been ready to do so, us far as my humble ability would allow, without asking him what was his creed? Have 1 ever hesitated to give employment to the Roman Catholics; on the contrary, have 1 not.. frequently had them in my service, and perhaps oftener than Protestants? I distrust no man for his religion, that is a matter between his Maker and himself; but when I find religion made use of as a political engine, to injure and destroy t'- e Constitution, then 1 oppose and resist it to the utmost of my power. ( Hear, hear J There is another subject, which 1 will barely touch upon; that is, the threat of Roman Catholics not to deal with Protestants, and to injure them in their trade, in order to force a compliance with theirdepiai. de, or a forbearance from declaring their sentiments.'- 1 would* caution them against this despeiate game. Will nineteen, twentieths of the property of the country be put down by one- twentie th ? Let them take care that such conduct may not lead to a woeful retaliation. ( Cheers.) As well might a farthing rushlight attempt to burn out a wax taper as they to expect success from such an impotent proceeding. Aitho' i deny the charge of bigotry and intolerance, yet I am free to declare, that I am one of those who think that things have gone far enough; that con- cession only creates demand; and that Popish Ascendancy, not Catholic Emancipation, is the ultimate object of the leaders of the Roman Catho- lics. Mr Gregg sat down amidst loud cheering, which lasted several minutes. All the resolutions requisite to the formation of the Society were afterwards agreed to without a dissentient voice. THE BRUNSWICK ( LUBS. [ From the Standard.'] Meetings for the establishment of Brunswick Clubs are multiplying- in both kingdoms with a rapidity which outstrips all calculation. In Ibis, as in every other instance where the - moral energies of a great people have been awakened to active exertion, it has been found that the first example is all that is neces- sary ; and that a well- directed example, however moderate its success in the beginning-, never fails to create the means of final triumph. Of the feelings of the Protestants of the empire no man acquainted with the British nation ever doubled for a moment; but the combined operationsof conciliating insincerity on the part of professing Protestants, and sneers and sophistry on tbe side of the avowed advocates of popery, seemed to render necessary an effort to » rouse the people, for the success of which it appeared desperate to hope— desperate we say, to hope, accord- ing to all the ordinary calculations of the moral vigour of mankind. For iu what other country, we ask, but Protestant Britain— could have been found a principle so tena- cious of life as to survive the extenuating operation of - 20 years of cold discretion and sinister controul, from those who ought to have fostered it, acting in concurrence w ith the ribaldry and the ridicule of the Burdetts and O'Connells, the Moores, and Sidney Smiths, and all til" other prostitutes of popery ? In Britain only could such a spirit among the people survive such a probation, and Britain only affords the prince and the aristocracy worthy to call such a spirit into activity. Proudly, indeed, as Englishmen may we challenge the world to produce the rivals of our Newcastle*, Gordons, Cbanddses, Winchilseas, Kenyons, and the other members of that high born phalanx of patriots who are now rallying the people round the throne and tbe constitution. But to them is not ali the praise; if they are worthy of the nation which they adorn and protect, their charge is not unworthy of them. While, however, we exult in the anticipation of a triumph, let us not forget that the victory, though gained upon all fair grounds of reasouing, may still be snatched from us by a fraud It is nut because we have taken from our enemies their argument that we are to expect that they will forego tbe conclusion at which they have affected to arrive by it.— Dull indeed should we- be to believe that because, when they thought that the Protestant spirit was extinct Lord Plunkelt and his pro- popery accomplices ac fenowledged, that without the full consent of all the Protestants of the empire, the demand of the Roman Catholic claims ought not to be conceded, we are to hope that the universal dissent of the nation from their' pestilent project, will shame the quacks to silence. No, we may expect to hear, and to hear it from the very men who have for years been contend ing that the demands* of the Bonian Catholics ought to be submitted to, because urged with violence and acrimony, that, the strong and universal expression of feeling by the Protestant populace ought to go for nothing, or perhaps— for the range of effrontery with such men is pfrfectly illimitable - that the indignant resistance of all that is respectable for birth, property- intelligence, and virtue, proves a state of things, to be cured only by the fatal nostrum which- they, the < juncks, have so long hawked. With the men v ith whom we have to do there is but one mode of dealing, that is, to beat them beyond the hope of rallying, and that it is to be done only by shewing that in numerical force they are as contemptible as in character, tafent, reasoning, and all the other attributes of political importance; and how is this to be dene ? In one way, and in one way only, viz. hi/ putting the nation aguin. it them, through the agency of the Brunswick clubs. Wherever one of these salutary rallying posts of patriotism has bc? n established, let all who value the richest inheritance purchased by the lilood of their fathers, and wish to bequeath it to their children, enrol themselves among its members. Where none has yet been formed, let not a moment be lost in instituting one. In the present crisis, tbe suffrages of the people are to be collected upon a question tbe most momentous ever submitted to a popular ar- bitrament; and whoever, being provided with the means of tendering his suffrage, neglects to employ them, ar. d whoever, not having those means already at haixl, neglects to provide them, proves that he is unworthy, because indifferent to the rights of a freeman. On Wednesday evening, their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland arrived in this town from Alnwick Castle, in a carriage and six, with several outriders. On Thursday his Grace, as Lord Lieutenant of the County, inspected the Northumber- land and Newcastle Volunteer Cavalry, commanded by Lieut nant- Colonel Bell, M. P. who were drawn out. on the Town Moor for the purpose. After the inspection, his Grace, in a note to the Commander, expressed his gratification at the soldier- like appear Slice of the corps in the field. In the afternoon, the Duke presided at the dinner of the Recorder's Club, at Mr. Dodsworth's, the Queen's Head Inn, where every thing in season derorated the table, and the wines were of the finest flavour. The same evening the Duke and Duchess honoured the Master of the Ceremonies' Ball at the Assembly Rooms with their presence, which was well attended. On Friday morn- ing their Graces set off 111 a carriage and four, on a visit to Lord and Lady Ravensworth, at their Castle. —.'/ We Mercurv.

UNION HALL.— Mr. Milliard, one of the overseers of St. Saviour's parish, brought up four natives of the Emerald Isle. Mr. H. staled, that the four men had applied to him to he removed home; but from cir- cumstances which had come to his knowledge he con- ceived they were not exactly objects for'parochial relief. Mr. Hone asked them if they could not get home at their own expense. " Arrah, your honour," said one of them, " the Lord and St. Patrick knows we hav'nt a mararidy in the world, nor a tatter of clothes but the rags upon our backs."— Mr. Hone: " But. you might walk to the nearest seaport, and not put the parish to expense."—" Walk, your honour!" replied the first orator, chuckling himself at the idea of being able to put in a clencher to the Worthy magistrate's proposal, " We might beg our way, and walk to Bristol; ' out, plase your honour, how could we walk a ross the herring- brook ?"— The magistrate inquired how long they had been in England? when one replied 16 years, another 1- 2, and the two others shorter periods. They denied having been employed several weeks past at any business, and Mr. Hone requested the overseer to state on what ground he refused pusses. Pople, one of the officers, then stated, that on Friday, a few moments after they had applied to Mr. Milliard, the whole party stopped at the corner of Union- street, and, after conversing some time about the profitable season among the hops, divided £ 17 between them !—" What a set of rascals," exclaimed the magistrate, " to come begging, and have so much money at the same time. 1 hope, Mr. Milliard, you will give them no assistance."—" Cer- tainly not," replied the overseer.— The four Kerry- men, quite chop- fallen, then left the oihee to try their fortune in some other parish, muttering about English cruelty, that would let them starve in a Christian country. A beau of the first wafer, while travelling from Worcester to Birmingham, the other day, asked a fellow traveller whether Birmingham was a Seaport.' It was replied, « Yes, of the See of Lichfield and Coventry."

THE IRON TRADE.— There is perhaps no staple trade of this country that shows the rapid and solid improvement of her manufactures so much as the extension of the iron trade. To it we are principally indebted for improvements in our machinery, which are now superior, and have continued to take the lead of all other countries ; added to which the abundant supply of fuel of the best kind, gives Great Britain advantages, in a manufacturing point of view, overall others.

The following extract from vol i. of J- haw's " Nature Displayed," shews- that appcarauces similar to the one observed on the evening of the 29th ult- have been seen long ago. After describing one which appeared at Buxton, in March, 17- 44, he SBVS: —" The grandest spectacle of this kind, seen in GreeI Britain, was observed at Leeds, on the 12th of April, 1783, between nine and ten at night. A broad arch of a bright pale yellow, with an apparent breadth of about 15 degrees, arose in the heavers, and passed considerably south of the zenith ; bv its varied density, it appeared to consist of small . columns of light, with a sensible motion. After about ten minutes, innumerable bright c irusia- tions shot out at right angles from its northern edge, elongating themselves till they had reached the northern horizon. As they descended, their extremi ties weie tipped with an elegant crimson, like that produced by the electric spark in an exhausted tube. After some time this beautiful northern light ceased to shoot, and, forming a range of bright yellow clout's extended horizontally about the fourth of a circle; its greatest portion, which darted from this arch northwards, as well as the cloud- like and more stationary, aurora, became so dense as to hide the stars from view. The moon was eleven days old, and sliOne brightly dining this scene, but did not eclipse the splendour of these coruscations. The wind was in the north, a little to the east." HUMAN ACTIVITY.— A man trained to violent exercise from his childhood, is s: iid to be capable of distancing the fleetest horses, and of continuing his course when they give up in weariness and exhaustion. His muscular power is immense, as we see daily proved by the weights raised with ease by common porters. However, the exertions of our ablest pedes- trians give bul a faint idea of the full powers of a practised runner. Tbe couriers of Persia used regu- larly to travel Ihirty leagnc- s in the space of fourteen hours; and some natives of Africa are reported able to outstrip the lion. The savages of North America pursue the swiftest stags with such rapidity as to weary and overtake them. They have been known io travel over the most rugged and pathless moun- tains, a distance of eleven or twelve hundred leagues in $ ix weeks or two months. ^ Some few days ago, Mr. Lidbetter, of lirnruber, shot a landrail, and having killed the bird, was in no haste to- bag it, but proceeded to re- load his gun, when a hawk convinced him of the danger of his delay, by darting down upon the dead game, and bearing it away, in his talons.— Sussex Advertiser. TKE LEVEL OF THE SEA.— There is, perhaps, nothing which illustrates in a more striking manner the exact accordance of nature's phenomena with the tew general expressions or laws which describe them all, than the perfect level of t- lw ocean as a liquid surface. The sea never rises or falls in- any place, even one inch, but in obedience to fixed laws, and therefore changes may be generally foreseen and allowed for. For instance, the eastern tradewindsj and other causes force the water of the ocean town rds the African coast, so as to keep the Red Sea about 20 feet above the general ocean level ; and the Mediter- ranean Sea is a little below that level, because the evaporation from it is greater than the supply of its rivers— causing it to receive an additional supply by the straits of Gibraltar ; hut in all such eases the effict is as constant as the. disturbing cause, and therefore can be calculated upon with confidence. In Holland, which is a low flat, formed chiefly by the mud and sand brought down by the Rhine and neighbouring risers, much of the country is really below the level of the common spring tides, and is only- protected from daily inundations by artificial dykes or ramparts of great strength. What awfu uncertainty would hang over the existence of the L utch, if the level of the sea were si; bj ct to change for while we know the water of the ocean to be seventeen miles higher at the equator than at the poles, owing to the centrifugal force of the earth'; rotation, were the lsvel as now established, from any cause to he suddenly changed but ten feet, millions of human beings would be victims. A Ml SER.— The police of Hamburgh caused the door of the Sieur Bimck's hou- o to be lately forced open. He was in his 57th year, and was found lying in a faint state through inanition, by the side of his coffers and strong boxes, the keys of which he held in his hand. He was conveyed to the hospital, and afterwards brought back lo his own house, where he expired. His fortune amounted to upwards of 600,000 francs. The Russian Count Femidoff, who lately died at Florence, leaving behind him a fortune of 3',!, 000,000 florins, ( about £ 3,000,000 sterling,) left his only son his sole heir. But the Countess was, during a long absence, delivered of a daughter, which the Count refused to recognize, and did not mention in his will. The daughter, who has been brought up by her mother, has instituted a suit before the tribunal of the First Instance at Paris, great part of the Count's fortune being invested in France, for the recovery of her hare oi' her father's fortune, according to the law of France. This case excites great interest. COACHES.— Such is the constant and immediate communication between the towns of Stockport and Manchester, that upwards of one hundred coaches give us the opportunity of going to and returning from Manchester ex ert/ duy. There are forty going and returning from the office of one proprietor here tbe same number from three Oilier proprietors; and there are upwards of forty coaches that run through the town or over the Wellington- road, every day, destined for London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, and Buxton.— Stockport t aper. REGULATING GAS VAI. VE— In the last Quarterly Journal of Science, published at the Royal Institu- tion, there appears an engraving ( and description communicated by Mr. II Addams) of the Index of the Regulating Valve covsirvtied and put up by Mr. Eastwick, at the Bath Gas Works last summer, by the adoption of which the saving of gas has been very- great The face of the index is an exact representa- tion of the valve itself, so made in order that the Superintehdant may see the precise position of the valve at any time, and its action is so plain and easily understood, that he has been enabled to leave the management of it to the workmen during the night ever since its erection. By means of this valve, the pressure may he regulated according to the demand, and the flow of gas to the « main" so adjusted as to insure an economical yet sufficient supply to the burners at the different periods of Ihe night. From Ihe results of Mr. Eastwick's observations, it appears that an aperture sufficient for the exit of 7000 cubic festof gas per hour ( and which diminishes the pressure only about one- tenth of an inch) is equal to 11,733 square inches only.— In the same communication it is stated that Mr. Eastwick had perfectly succeeded in getting- rid of the hard carbonaceous substance which forms in the retorts to so considerable a thickness as to diminish their capacity more than one- half, on which account a larger number of retorts was formerly necessary, and from the imperfect conducting power of this incrustation the decomposing process was slower and additionally expensive. He effccts the removal of this by leaving the retorts open, and keeping them up to a good red heat.; this substance so treated undergoes slow combustion, and iu the course of a week or more, according to its thickness, may be entirely burnt out. One of the long- talked- of steam- coaches was to have started last week for Southampton, and was in fact under war, but on leaving the engineer's yard, the entrance to which is only four inches broader than the steam- carriage, the latter was impelled against the wall, and, before the impetus could be stopped, the fore- part of the carriage was erushed, the axles strained, and the driving chains broken. THE SINKING FUND.— The Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt made their first purchases for the present quarter on Tuesday. The amount invested, and to be laid out on each transfer day during the present quarter, is £ 14,188. Is. 6d. which in the quarter ending the 5th January, 1829, will amount to rather more than £ 581,000. The purchases are on the reduced scale of investing £ 3,000,000 only per annum, in aid of the Sinking Fund, according to the Act passed last Session of Parliament. PRESERVATION OF FRUIT TRF. F. S.— What are you doing there, madam ? said I last summer, to an industrious and amiable young lady, who herself takes care of her flower, fruit, and kitchen garden; for mercy sake ! what are you doing there?— Don't you see, answered she, I am scalding this peach tree ? — Do you want to kill it ? On the contrary, I wish to save it if I can ; the root is worm eaten ; the leaves are curling and withering ; it will be dead in a few days, if I do not apply an efficacious remedy. I have lost several fruit trees this summer by the worms — in vain have I tried all Ihe means suggested— if once tbe trees are attacked they invariably die. This is the best tree of the garden ; I am determined to try on it an experiment, which I have for a long time thought of, but from which I have always been dis- couraged by my friends say ing that it will kill the tree ; but the tree is already as if dead, and I think there i » even prudence in the trial, since it leaves at least a possibility— a hope of saving it. A great deal of conversation followed that experiment; some laughed, some found it absurd. I myself visited and examined with anxiety the tree every day. To our great surprise and satisfaction, after the fall of the faded leaves, the vegetation resumed all its activity, and a new set of beautiful, long, green leaves, again covered the tree. Encouraged by this success, all the fruit trees of the garden, sound or not, were scalded before the setting in of winter. The brother of the young- lady having taken confidence in the operation, and having himself an Orchard of 150 trees, apples, pears, plums, peaches,- See. of which a few were also worm eaten, took the resolution to have them all scalded before winter. An iron kettle was brought into the orchard, kept boiling ( wafer added from a neighbour- ing bronk in proportion as it was used), and three or four quarts poured at the bottom of each tree, about one foot above the ground ; care was taken to cause the water to follow the trunk and penetrate to the roots, by pouring it round the tree, and not too fast. This was done to each tree in the orchard with the greatest ease in less- than half a day's labour. The same operation was performed again in the spring as soon as the frost was out of the ground. Not a single tree died. Those in bad order revived, and they are all covered with the most luxuriant blossoms. — New York Statesman. NEW APPLICATION OF THE STEAM- ENGINE.— A new application of the power of steam and ma- chinery for working marble and other costly stone used in public and domestic architecture, has been some time in operation, and is now advanced towards perfection The great expense of the various descrip- tions of marble, as well as other ornamental stone, and thence the necessity of having recourse to moulded and other obvious substitutes, is occasioned chiefly by the cost of carriage, and by the wages of labour to the mason. There are few species of stone which are relatively expensive at the quarry. The patentee has, in this instance, succeeded in producing the motion usually communicated to the single saw, moved by hand labour. By the band only One blade is worked at once. By the new- machine as many blades may be worked at the same time as there are slabs required from any block of marble.— The next machines are, one for sanding and grounding slabs of stone, and another for polishing them.— There are two other machines, each attended with advantage* of expedition, accuracy, superior workmanship, and heapness for cutting up the materials into smaller dimensions, and working and polishing mouldings, dcc. The grand effect of polished marble walls has been presented to the fashionable world, on the stair- c'ase of Crockford The walls of the chief public buildings and the most considerable private mansions, found at Pompeii and Herculancum, were eased with slabs of polished marble; an.! antiquarians are aware that the cities of the Romans derived their chief splendour from the profuse use of this material. When the mighty power of steam comes into full operation, and affords us, as it will, greater advan- tages than they possessed in their boundless command of slave labour, the frail fabriis of our modern archi- ctural deformities must give way to edifices that will equal the finest monuments of antiquity in dura- bility, and exceed them in elegance and splendour. CAPTAIN BEECHI Y'S EXPEDITION.— The return to England of the Blosso m, Captain Beechey, after an absence of upwards of three years on a voyage of science and discovery, is already known. The mam object of the voyage was the conveyance of supplies to Icy Cape, for the land Arctic expedition under Captain Franklin, in the event of that enterprising traveller having succeeded in reaching the extreme north- western point of America. This not being accomplished by the latter, Captain Beechey was directed by the Admiralty to make such researches and surveys in the Pacific as might be most advantageous to maritime and geographical know, ledge generally. The Blossom sailed from England about the middle of May, 1825, and after visiting and examining various harbours, chiefly- on the coasts of South America, at the close of July, 1826, reached the neighbourhood of Icy Cape, where she remained until the end of September, in expectation of the arrival of Captain Franklin. A party which had been detached from the Blossom in this interval, for Ihe purpose of discovery, advanced upwards of one hundred miles to the west of Icy Cape, although they experienced many dangers from the ice ami tempestuous weather. Being disappointed in gaining any intelligence of Captain Franklin, as the season was fast, closing in, Captain Beechey proceeded with his ship to San Francisco. After having surveyed several of the islands on the north- eastern coast of Asia, he visited Loo C'hoo, and put into Nappa Ising, where the Blossom was exposed to one of the great perils in the navigation of those s? as— coral reefs, which appear to have sprung up to an alarming extent since the visit of the Alceste; About the middle of June, 1827, Captain Beechey reached the Bonnin Islands, which afford a good anchorage, and have been touched at by English w halers. One con- sequence of this voyage is, the discovery of some new islands in the Pacific, and the establishment of the fact, that many which are laid down in the best, charts do not exist in the positions therein assigned to them.— On one of the Bonin Islands, two Norwegian sailors were discovered, who had been shipwrecked there, and whose histories, if written, would fonyi " the duplicate of Robinson Crusoe." They preferred remaining where they, were, to being brought off by the Blossom ; and were engaged extensively in the cultivation of vegetables and the breeding of pigs, with the view of supplying whale ships. This settlement, it appears, may ultimately prove of the greatest importance to that trade. From these islands the B'ossom proceeded lo the anchorage of St. Peter and St. Paul, and thence sailed once more in quest of Captain Frank in's expedition. It is un- necessary to state that Captain Beechey was again unsuccessful in obtaining any information of the Arctic Land expedition ; and that he, therefore, at the close of last season, finally left the northern regions on his return , to England. Captain Beechey was accompanied by an experienced naturalist; and extensive collections have been made and preserved during his admirably conducted expedition.
