M v object, indeed, in coming among you, was, that I might be cheered, amidst my country's danger, by contemplating so respectable a body of loyal and constitutional men which I knew would be assembled on ihe present occasion ; but you have called on me, and I shall obey Ihe call, for I trust, that iu whatever situation of life I may bp. placed, and under all circumstances, I shall never decline obeying any request of yours, and particularly the wishes of the loyal corporation of the city of Dublin, who, about this day eight years, unanimously voted me. their thanks — a period when our injured anil cruelly insulted King was basely betrayed by those, base Whigs who appeared his friends tit an early period of bis Majesty's life, and afterwards cruelly insulted by tbe leg-. il adviser of a profligate queen— conduct which nearly threw this country into all the horrors of a revolution: it was at that awful period that I stood forwanl and succeeded, on ibe authority of' all the constitutional press, and in opening the eyes of both England and Ireland, in giving resuscitation to> that loyalty which we now glory in; it is to my exer- tions, admitted by the Ami- Jacobin and other Reviews^ we are indebted for ibe exposure and defeat of ihut jacobinism and radicalism which would have brought ruin and dethronement on our country and our King; and it was from the loyal corporation " of Dublin I w^ is presented with the first address, as a testimony of their approbation, which address was immediately followed up by others from numerous public bodies, and the most distinguished individuals in both Great Britain and Ireland. The following year our beloved monarch came over to ibis country, aud iu defiance of all the efforts of Popish ingenuity aud jacobinical deceit, urged on by revolutionists to bring the Kiug into* disrepute, I stood forward again, and with the assist- ance of my fellow- labourers, I had the good fortune fat convince the whole body of ihe population of the deceit and treachery of O'Connell nud his allies; and that they were nothing else but the basest incendiaries— thai they could not be depended on, for the Kmg can depend on none in a period of difficulty, but Iheloyal Proleslants of this country. I proved beyond all pos- sibility of doubt, that the very time the Popish prelates were offering their adulations to a deceived and bene- ficent King, that they were hatching a foul conspiracy for the subversion of the P. olestaut constitution, and the separation of this country from Great Britain. On that eventful period I must ever reflect with regrel, on account of ihe manifold evils which flowed from the visit of our monarch, and which visit I dq sim erely helieye was contemplated by hitn as the meant of amalgamating and uniting all classes of his subjects, without subverting thf church ; bill all the evils flowed from an unfortunate letter, circulated through this country, and which was so interpreted by the " Roman '' atholies us to lie made the medium of bad and icked designs in the hands of the enemies of the British empire — enemies which may be classed under two di s11net bends— Ihe ltouian Catholics, who ever " ill be hostile lo a Protestant constitution — and those despi. ahie of nil dunces and knaves, the liberal I'm. testanls. When I iveut to pay mv respects lo hi. Majesty you may j^ ness nil surprise when I belield. ouiinif down sia is from the royal closet, pypi. il b shops dressed in their pontificals', wilh crosses sus- p.- iideil before them; I iui| iiiied who the devil they were — thai I did not think they were members of the gallant corps I had been in the habit of seeing inorshulled under my friend. Sir A. B. Kiny. 1 was iufoinied, hy a venerable dean of our establishment, that they were Roman Catholic bishops; and where were they? They have been Willi the Kiuc; was tllii reply. I then exclaimed that tbe ministers who id vised the K i on- to see . lli. ni, that were I the House of Commons, 1 would have impeached them: nnd that I would not lake my fiojrer off their heads uiilil 1 would have them hrouubt. to ihe black. The very principle which placed Hie house of Hanover on the throne of these reni ns by this ad, so help me God S was made null and void — for the Bill of lights slates that " the late Kins' James Ihe Second, being adrut < 1 bv evil councillors, judge., and ministers^ having endeavoured to undermine niiil subvert the Froteslunt religion— and wheieas it is inconsistent Willi Ihe safety of Ibis empiie lo be governed lij a popish prince, or Kiug or Queen marrying ii Roman Catholic— be il tiler, fore enacted, that auv person who shall hold any communication wilh Ihe church or see of It shail lie declared incapable nf inheriting, or succeeding to llie throne or government of these kingdoms." * [ Here the learned Baronet read extract, from B letter to the la'e Lord Londonderry, written at the very lime, nud also from his petition to ihe Mouse of Com. minis, presented and primed in 1N> 3, both predicting every event that has since taken place both abroad ' anil ai home, from ihe syste policy acted on for several years past, and often published years back in our papers.] These all important warnings that I have now read are purls uf a letter that was inserted iu ilia! fuillifuj paper aud valuable journal, the Warder, which 1 nut. hold io Uiy hands, for were it not for this paper, aud a few others aiding me, Ibis country would have been desolated three wars unci, ( Lomt applause, and one cheer more for the Warder.) But the ruin of this country is certain, if the Popish Association be not crushed, aud llie forty- shilling freeholders disfranchised. Mark now, I predict thai as sure as I stand here" before as loval a body of men as ever was assembled thai you will see a revolution si Itaneously take place in both Great Britain and Ireland, if these two men. - ores are not adopted and immediately, the crushing of that gang of desperate and despicable vagabonds, ihe Roman Cntholic Association. ( Loud cheeri. I [ have left no iqeasijre untried — nor stone unturned, to drive wisdom inio the heads of ihe members of ' ihe House of Commons. I even told the late Lord Liverl pool, that if this system of policy— this conciliation humbug were persevered in, the time would come when lie and Mr. Peel would be recorded by future historians as the greatest enemies Ireland ever had. | l is not w. ilh the Roman Catholic religion we have to' interfere, hul wilh the accursed, p ditieal, persecuting secular doctrines which are ihe bane of society, OtTr enemies say, that our opposition is to their religion • but it is opposition to a foreign sovereign and to his temporal decrees aiid statutes, and one iota of pow « * r they never should have, until ihe whole of that per- nicious system is repealed front their statute book. CEnthusiastic cheers. J I would say to Q'Connell,- i we care not what your religion is, if you are an honest man, which I believe a great many doubt — unless a sharp eye kept QU yon I would not trust you— as a Roman Catholic yotj can luiye no political honesty with a Protestant stale — we know ihe principles of ihe papa) code: and until Ihe tenets of that court are repealed ex cathedra, we cannot admit them to power. Let them goto their Sovereign and his parliament, and "- ej their penal cn< je first abrogated before they even pre- sume to petition a Protestant legislature; for without the abrogation of these popish statutes, did thev con- tinue swearing until Ihe day of judgment, 1 could not believe then} for they could not fulfil them and con ® liuue conscientious Roman Catholics. Our objects, my friends, should be to preserve invio- late the eonsHintion, aud the rights anil privileges of this loyal constitution. With respect to my consti- tutional principle's, they never can change • the portrait of that Prince before us has lain on my heart since the hour of his death, and shall continue on that faithful and grieving heart, even in the coffin. Here the worthy Baronet was deeply affected — his voic* faltered, and lie seemed for a moment to have foru- otten himself— then, opening his breast, ha showed^ on a bbiek ribbon, a striking likeness of fhe 1 unfilled Pi inee, surrounded hy large brilliants. He then eou„ tinned — I cannot do better Mian eoufijun my principlp* in the words of that lamented Prince, ijHered by htm before the British seual^- 1 h- tve been'educated from my earliest years iu these principles, and since I have come to the years of discretion, 1 have continued to cherish them from conviction ( Enthusiastic cheers, j- j make, in. y loyal friends of this « ity, the same declar- ation to you ; and I trust that when I forsake tbe< e principles, either the principles of t! ie Duke of York or the interest of this loyal corporation, in whatever kit nation I may be placed in by my King or country, th: ii God may forsake me. f Loud cheers. J The worthy Baronet resumed his seat amidst the most deafening plaudits, accompanied with waviuu- „( handkerchiefs, orange ribbons, huls, and cries of No surrender, Protestant ascendancy, and the glorious memory of the great und good King Wiiliam and ihe lamented Duke of York, and speedy conrn » ioi* to the malignant viper Shiel, aud the other va » ubundf in the popish association. " 500 747 350 40S 440 338 SALOPIAN JOUIRWA1L, AMID COU1RIEM OF WALE^, LO N DON— SATU K DAV, The French papers which arrived last night arc still without further account* of the movements of the Russians in Wallachia or Moldavia. They affirm that the Emperor has stilt from thirty to forty thousand nien < » n the right hank of the Danube; and a*, corroborative of his intention to prosecute the war \ n the spring, he is said to- have refused even temporary leave absence to Field Marshal Wittgenstein- The accounts: Vienna confirm the statement of the high toiie taken by the Porfe in consequence of the want of success on the part of Rnssiiv in the late til wpp a cte of Messrs. Remington Co. The public nviiid in the pity ] ws been under a con- siderable degifee of excitement to- day by a confirma- tion being given to the rumours in circulation for some days pa, st; regarding the incompetency of a l^ nkingr- hotise to meet, its engagements, At ten oYloek these rumours became more prevalent than ever- j and at an early hour in the afternoon— about two o'clock— Ihe banking- house (} f Messrs. Hemingtop, ^ tej> henson, and Co. stopped paymfnf, under very peculiar circumstancesl if being understood t- Jjat one of the partners had absented hirn. seIf with a consider able sum of mojiey irt hit? possesion.. Tlte fir^ t story was, that lie taken wit!) him £ 68,000, but in the Course of the afternoon the amount was said to exceed £ 88,000. It is impossible to describe in ( adequate terms the extreme sensation, that was Created in the firsj instance, bid it is. remarkable that the shock in the i^ K- wey ytiai% et was so limited that thedepression,- oi> toe highest quotations in the morning did. not exceed per cent. Lombard- street, especially that part of if immediately adjacent to the Ivuikingrhouse in question, was thronged > vith people eager to ascertain whether the reports of the'failure wepe weil or iIt founded. The stoppage of the banking- house and the absence of the partner have excited more surpr. se as so much pains was takej) TO remove all suspicion as to its embarrassment, especially within the last day or two, and we have good reasons for believing, that sp recently as Wednesday last the concern had upwards of £ 240,000 at its immediate disposal to meet any demands upon if, On that day we ako have heard that not the least idea was entertained by one of the senior partners that the event could by possibility have occurred. It, was in fact the unaccountable absence of one of the partners which indited the jjousf; fo . st(> p payment, ( hough it possessed means to satisfy all demands., upon it up. to the latent moment. The partners, considered tlj& t they owed it to the creditors at large to suspend their issues under the very peculiar circumstances in which they were placed by the non- attendance of one of the firm with the large sum in his possession to which we have referred, Messrs. Remington and, Co. possessed very extensive connections in the East Indies, The cpuntry corre- spondents of fhe house were Ijmitad. to. about twelve banking firms.— In the midst of the- couftisiyn, the Qo- vern'jr and. two. of the Directors- of the Bank of England had an interview at the Mansion House with the Lord: Mayor, also a Director,, and the universal opinion was, that the question under discussion was whether it was necessary to take any measures to quiet the nj^ y- ehpnsions of the public. Of course the failure produced great distrust in the city, but during RP part of the day was there any peculiar pressure felt in consequence of a want of money. Late this afternoon, ia consequence of an appli- cation made to the Lprd Mayor by Mr. Gates, solicitor to the Committee of jankers, a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Mr. Stephenson, the missing partner, but the place of his retreat has not yet been discovered. UNITED STATES.— The President's Message to Congress has been received.— The question of Canadian boundary between Great Britain and the United States has been referred to the King of the Netherlands. The principal topic of the message is fhe state of the commercial relations wilh Great Britain; and a tone of deep complaint, almost lamentation, pervades the message as to the measures adopted by the British Government for preventing a free trade in grain and other articles of produce of fhe United States; and the late tariff is justified on the ground of fhesc regulations of the British Government.— The harvest in the United States is said to have been abundant, The circumstances connected with the suspension of payments by Messrs. Remington and Co. bankers, London, will be found detailed in a preceding column.— The only banking- house in this county that drew upon them was that of Messrs. Burton and Co. of the Salop Bank, who immediately opened an account with Sir R. C. Glyn and Co.— We need scarcely add, that the public confidence in Shrews- bury has not been affected in the slightest degree on fhis occasion. THE REVKNUK.— We have great pleasure in being- able to state from authority, as we are- that the revenue of th. p cuyrentquarter already exceeds the whole iwcnue of the corresponding quarter of last year by considerably more than, H^. L ® A MJJLV. ON. The will of her lafe Majesty the Queen of Wir- ternburgh was yesterday proved in the Prerogative 5 Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The pro- perty in England is sworn under the value of £ 80,000 sterling; and the will, \* hi< h is in tfie ( Sernian language, beautifully written on velllim, is, dated ffom the Palace of Lpdwig* berg, the 23d day of December, His Majesty U « S. prevailed upon fhe Duke of Wellington to accept t. ho pfijce. of Lord Warden of the <.' moue Ports, whi< bbr.- unue vacant. by the death of the Earl of Lverpool.— 3< his, is, an appointment more of honour than of profit. The only emoluments appertaining to the office are the pay as Governor of Dover Castle, worth about £< 80 per annum; but there is the beautiful residence of Walmer Castle, on which the late Earl of Liverpool expended a con- siderable sum of money, and the droits as Admiral of the Cinque Ports. This ancient, fee of office compre- hends all the 4.,' ds of a Lord of the Manor from a pojnt, pet* r Seaford to fhe coast of Essex, and any wrecked goods . within the district, that remain un- claimed for a year, are condemned in the Cinque Ports Admiralty ( ' ourt held at L) o,. ver.) as the droit of the Lord Warden. It very rarely happens, however, that any articles of value are cast on. shore without a claim for them being made and established.

The following most important letter, addressed by the Duke of Wellington to Dr. Curtis, Titular Primate of Ireland, places beyond doubt the false- hood of all the rumours pf a Cabinet Emancipation Bill, so industriously circulated during the summer and autumn. - His Grace formed an acquaintance with Dr. Curtis fifteen or sixteen years ago, when the latter was rector of the University of Sala- manca : — Letter from the Duke of Wellington to Dr. Curtis, Catholic Primate of Ireland. ;' My dear Sir,— I have received your letter of the 1th instant, and I assure von that you do me justice in believing that 1 am sincerely anxious to witness the settlement of ihe Roman Catholic question, which, by benefitting the state, would confer a benefit on every individual belonging to it.

The parties who pretend a great aversion to," hole and corner work,'' as it is termed, ai^, we are informed, circulating within their very select circle in ( his town a petition to Parliament in favour of Roman Catholic Emancipation I POACHING.— In our present Journal we have to record several more instances of the dreadful effects resulting from the illicit purs nits of poachers.— These cases will, we have 110 doubt, be used by certain parties as a further reason for crying down the Game Laws.— We, however, who are of the old school, and who have not yet seen any argument sufficiently strong to convince us that idle fellows from populous towns, or from any other places, have a right to trespass upon the property of others, and take away or destroy the animals or birds fed upon lands on which the individuals alluded to have no right to set a foot, cannot help thinking, that if the Game Laws were abrogated, or very materially altered, those parts of the country that abound with Game would be the resort of idle pilferers in a degree far greater than that by which even at present so much mischief is created ; what the consequences of such a system would be, and to how many other disorderly practices it would give encouragement, it is hardly necessary for us to refer to: every man that knows any thing of human nature will at once be alive to the prospect which such a consummation would open to the view of society. ACCIDENTS.— An inquest was tafcen yesterday, at Nobold, before George Wingfield, Gent. Coroner, pn view of the body of one of the boys employed in the lime works there, who, by some accident in returning an empty basket fo be filled with lime, fell into the pit, and was killed.— On Monday, a young child, whose parents reside near Rose Hill, walked into the ; turnpike £ » ad there as a team came up to the spot, and falHhg under the wheels, thereby lost its life.— Same day, as the team of Mr. Lee, of Forton, was coming up Castle Fore gate with a load of coals, a horse that had taken fright, and with a cart at its heels, ran with such violence against Mr. Lee's waggoner and team as to kill one of the horses, and . so severely injured the waggoner that he was con- veyed to the Infirmary with little hope of recovery. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal, SIR, As you are a person so very conversant with all public matters, I shall feel obliged if you will, in your next Journal, inform me by what authority His Majesty's Surveyors of Taxes have taken upon thein- selvhs to harrass the Public with Surcharges on ibe Inhabitid. House Duty. The Surveyor for fhis District being, I understand, a very young officer, perhaps does not know that a very few years ago many charges of this kind were made, whim it was ordered by the Powers above that they should one and all be withdrawn, which I believe was accordingly done. Should he be ignorant of this circumstance, he will do well to consult some old and experienced officer on this subject, who will no doubt advise him not to persist in those he has no* v made ; but should he do so, the Commissioners will do well to bear in mind the above circumstance, and on the Appeals to call upon the Surveyor to shew his authority for such proceedings. But, perhaps, Mr. Editor, as this is a young and inexperienced officer, he may think it necessary that new besoms should sweep clean, and therefore is determined not to let any thing escape him. Should it, however, not be in your power to give me the information I require, perhaps were you to ask the question through your Journal, somebody better informed on the subject may give it me in the manner required. I remain, Mr. Editor, Your very obedient Servant, and one of those unfortunate Mortals annoyed by such Surcharge. Ellesmere, December 24, 1828. SURCHARGES— In order to obtain relief from the oppressive and unauthorised surcharges now making in every part, of the country, the inhabitants of Cheltenham have signed a Requisition calling for a Public Meeting to Memorialize the Board of Taxes on the subject. The authorities of the place, therefore, appointed yesterday for the meeting to be held, and we trust that the example will be followed by other towns, Some years ago similar surcharges having been attempted, the fact was no sooner made known in the proper quarter by the expression of public feeling, than orders were instantly issued to the Assessors of Taxes to desist from surcharging the people, and to annul what they had already done.— A letter on this subject, from a Correspondent at Ellesmere, will be found in another column. His Grace the Duke of Rutland, and Lord Robert Manners, have affixed their names to the county petition against the claims of the Roman Catholics. The petition will lie at the Exchange a few ( lays longer, for the signatures of the inhabitants of the town and county.— Leicester Herald. rOSTSCiRliPT. IJiytWN, Monday Night, Dec. 29, 1828.

'- J -"!"'-. 1 - Last week a gentleman in the neighbourhood of New quay, Cardiganshire, shot a beautiful w hite woodcock, which is now in the possession of Mr. Shaw, of this town, for the purpose of being- stuffed. Two game- keepers of the Earl of Denbigh, at Newnham Paddox, fell in with a numerous party of armed poachers early in the morning of Tuesday last, with whom they had a desperate and it is to be feared a fatal encounter. John Slum, hi* Lordship's head keeper, in attempting to rescue two of his men, who were being severely beat by the poachers, was fired at, and received tjie contents of a gun in Tiis body. He was carried to the house of Mr. Hazle- wood, at Withy brook, where he remains with little hope of recovery. He is a fine young man, married, and has a family. Information of the fray having- reached Coventry, a well- known poacher at, Foleshill, John Ortori, was apprehended, and a gun and some pheasants were found in his possession. A labouring tnan named Cross, was also apprehended at Foleshill, and li*$- been identified as one of the party. The two e en have undergone examination, and are for the present remanded. Pangs of ppacbeps hpt week visited the several preserves belonging to tjie Cholniondeley, Darnhall, Stanney, Tabley Park, and Dunham Massey estates, in Cheshire.— The keepers were o, ut, but were obliged to retreat in each instance.— At Cholmondeley C'aslle and at pavnhaH, the villain? had the audacity afterwards to ring the house bells of the mansions, and challenge the keeper? put.— At Lunham Massev, they s) mt at and dangerously wounded three of the keepers. We have satisfaction in adding, that, one of this gang has been apprehended, and has given such information, as will probably lead to the apprehension of ail the other blood- thirsty ruffians with whom he was associated.

Dean Swift, in the course of one of those journeys to Holyhead, which, it is well known, he several times performed on foot, was travelling through Church St ret ton, where he put up at the sign of the Crown and, finding the host to be a communicative gopd- s humoured man, inquired if there was any agreeable person in town, with whom he might partake of a dinner ( as he had desired him to provide one) and that such a person should have nothing to pay. The landlord replied, that the Curate, Mr. Jones, was a very agreeable, companionable man, and would not, he supposed, have any objection to spend a few hours with a gentleman of his appearance. The Dean directed him to wait on Mr. Jones with his compliments, and to say that a traveller would be glad to be favoured with his company at the Crown, if it was agreeable. When Mr, Jones and the Dean had dined, and the glass began to circulate, the former made an apology for an occasional absence, saying that at three o^ clock he was to read prayers and preach at the church. Upon this intimation the Dean replied that he should also attend prayers. Service being ended, and the two gentlemen having resumed their station at the Crown, the Dean began to compliment Mr. Jones upon his delivery of a very appropriate sermon ; and remarked that it must have cost him ( Mr. Jones) some time and attention to compose such a one. Mr. Jones observed that, his duty was rather laborious, as he served another parish church at a distance, which, with the Snnday and weekly service at Church Stretton, straitened him much with respect to the time necessary for the composition of sermons ; so that, when the subjects pressed, he could only devote a few days and nights to that purpose. " Well," says the Dean, " it is well for you to have such a talent; for my part, the very sermon you preached this afternoon cost me sonie months in composing." On this observation Mr. Jones began to look very gloomy, and to recognise bis companion. " However," rejoined the Dean, " donH you be alarmed; you have so good a talent at delivery, that I hereby declare you have done more honour to my sermon this day than I could do myself; and, by way of compromising the matter, you must accept of this half- guinea for the justice ypu have dpne in the delivery of it." CAUTION TO FARMERS. [ From a Correspond- ntf.] A gentleman farmer residing not a hundred miles from —— in this county, having occasion ( a few days ago) to fetch a large quantity of straw from a place distant about eight or nine miles from theoce, he ( as is customary) got into requi, sitiou the teams of a few other brother agriculturists to assist him. The whole procession, consisting of five broad- wheeled carriages well horsed, bore down to the point of destination, commencing their route at two o'clock, A. M. On arriving at tin* spot, a little after six, the waggons were expeditiously loaded and bound in the best Shropshire style. Refreshments were then ordered for the party, and a pretty moderate quantity was eat and drank. Sufficient time having* elapsed for rest aud wind ( 12 hours!:!) the signal was given to move in close column, and at double quick time. On passing- — somehow or other, one of the teams took an oblique direction, running- fore and aft into the Pool— great was the scuflle and consternation, as you may well imagine, but after the most extraordinary ( and I had'almost said superhuman) exertions, the waggon was extricated with the trifling loss of half the l iad. One of the horses ( the shatter) suffered much too from having shipped a heavy sea j but, very fortunately, two members of the Society for recovering- the d'owned being near rendered prompt audjudicions assistance. They again formed and moved 011, but had not proceeded more than half a mile or so before two of the waggons iu advance upset in a most " onntable nnnner. r*" * • * Birth of a Son and Heir to the House of' Trent ham* We have seldom had to record, even in a county so noted for similar expressions of the public sentiment as our own, sucJv general rejoicings as have been exhibited throughout the extensive estates of Earl Gower, and in the neighbourhood, upon the happy event of the Birth of a Son and Heir to the Dignities and vast Possessions of the Noble House of Trentham, Not to name fhe usual accompaniments of these festivities, cannon, bells, and bonfires, public dinners have already taken place upon the occasion at KETUEY and at WELLINGTON; and another has been announced for this day at NKWPORT, when the Chair will be filled by the son of our late worthy and popular County Member, J. Cotes, Esq. At WEL- LINGTON, at SHERIFFHALES, at KINNERSLFY, at TIBJSERTON, and at CHERRINGTON, oxen or sheep, or both, with a suitable allowance of bread and ale, have been divided amongst, the families of the labour- ing part of the inhabitants; and a liberal subscription for the same benevolent purpose has been raised at Newport. In the parish of LILLESHALL, where formerly stood the Family Seat of the Levesons, the Lilleshall Company supplied about 800 families of their workmen in Lilleshall and the neighbourhood with beef or mutton and bread; whilst in the village of Lilleshall itself three fat beeves, which had been conveyed to the place in great pomp, decorated with laurel and ribands, flags and a band of music leading the parade, & c. a numerous train of tenants and others bringing up the rear, were distributed amongst 260 families.. To each portion of beef were added a loaf and a quart of ale; in the evening of the same day considerably more than 260 females were regaled with tea, & c.; also a sheep was roasted upon the Kill, and, together with bread, was given promiscuously to bystanders, & c.— At 4 o'clock, the tenantry, & c. adjourned to an excellent dinner, provided for the occasion, at Mr. Pearce's, of Donnington, when Mr, J. Phillips was called to the Chair, and in a neat speech proposed the Health of Viscount Trentham, Son of Earl Gower, and Heir to that illustrious House, which was drank with 9 times 9, amidst tremendous and enthusiastic chcering: the other respective Branches of the Family followed with the saine feelings. An appropriate Song was introduced by the Chairman, which was encored and drew forth immense applause. Numerous other toasts, & c. were given. The cannon, which had been roaring on Lilleshall Hill since the news arrived, commenced at ten o'clock, being his natal hour, and continued dealing out its thunder at intervals. But amongst all these demonstrations of joy, no one seems to have excited a more general interest, than a procession of 3u0 children belonging to the National and Sunday Schools, who were marched in orderly array from the School- room at Donnington to Lilleshall, and fhere seated to a plentiful dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, a treat from the worthy Vicar, to which ( it. is needless to say) they did ample justice. The neat and comfortable appearance of the children, which was much noticed, may be attributed, in no small degree, to a Clothing Club, which has now been established amongst them some years; and indeed the many good effects attending such Clubs, wherever they exist, appear to render them worthy of general adoption. We hear that the festivities upon this occasion will conclude with a Ball at Lilleshall, on the 9th of January next, the Birth- Day of the Marquis of Stafford. Among the numerous rejoicings that have taken place upon the extensive estates of the Right Hon. Earl Gower, none have shewn more warmth of attachment in celebrating the Birth of a Son and Heir to their Noble and Worthy Landlord than the inhabitants of Longdon- upon- Tern, in this county, who, on Friday morning last, distributed a fine fat ox to the poor inhabitants of the village and its environs, in quantities proportionate to the number of the respective families. In the afternoon, an hogshead of excellent ale was drawn upon a car ( constructed for the purpose) into a large meadow adjoining the village, preceded by an excellent band of music selected from the High Ercall Harmonic Society, attended with an ornamental Banner sur- mounted by a Coronet, on which was the following inscription: — " Health, Happiness, and Longevity to the Noble iiace of Trentham.'" On the Reverse—" WELCOME LOVELY STRANGER ; " A grateful tenantry thy Birth declare, " With jay elate and heartfelt wish sincere, That thou, like thy Great Ancestors, may claim The well- earn'd merit of a virtuous name." An immediate and orderly procession followed fhe Subscribers, with their servants, labourers, and neigh- bouring peasantry, to the centre of fhe field, where the friendly and capacious cask was broached, and the social glass went briskly round— not a single branch of the illustrious family was forgot to be toasted in potent libations. The repeated cheers of the company, together wilh the almost incessant roar of cannon ( which were placed on the spot), not only made the welkin but the Wrekin resound. To complete the harmony of the day a peal of musical hand- bells were introduced, which had a pretty effect. After tea had been handed round fo the female part of the poor families there assembled, dancing commenced, and continued to a late hour; after which the company parted, highly gratified with the entertainment of the day . Suffice it to say, that the whole was conducted with that spirit of liberality and good conduct which did great credit to the managers, Messrs,. Skiff, BeKon, Belliss, and others. Monday, the 2£ 5d instant, being the rent- day for Earl Gewer's Cottagers 011 the Ketley Estate, the principal tenants embraced the earliest opportunity of celebrating the birth of a son and heir to the noble Earl. The morning was ushered in with the report of cannon, which were placed on Ketley Bank, in front of the Stafford Arms Inn, aiid continued firing throughout the day, whilst the bells of Wellington and the neighbouring parish churches kept up their merry peals, About three o'clock in the afternoon, a numerous party sat down to a sumptuous dinner, well served- up by Mr. Perry, of the above inn, in which the old English fare pf roast- beef and plum- pudding bore a conspicuous part,. After the cloth was re- r moved, Joseph Reynolds, Esq. ( who had kindly offered his services to preside on this joyful occasion) took the chair, and in a speech of considerable ability, which called forth universal applause, commented upon the high merits of the noble Family and its Ancestors connected with this happy and auspicious occasion. Fie then proposed " Health and long life to the Heir of the illustrious House of Trentham," with three times three, which was drank with en- thusiastic cheering. The Old Park band attended, and struck up " Rule Britannia." " Health to the other branches of the Family" succeeded, with equal veneration and fervency. A variety of appropriate toasts aud loyal sentiments, national songs and sportive jokes, succeeded; the band occasionally pouring In its musical aid, made the evening pass away very rapidly- A gentleman in the course of the evening sang a Scots national song in the Celtic language, with much energetic expression, which was very much applauded. Mr. Hombersley, Mr. Brad- ley, and many other gentlemen, were conspicuous in contributing to the conviviality of the company. At the close of tjie evening, as the worthy president re- tired, the band and company escorted him to his residence s shortly afler which, pleased with each Other, and each pleased with himself, they retired to their several homes— In the course of the day, ale was distributed to upwards of 600 tenantry, and we understand it is further intended fo distribute an ox and several sheep, as shall be thought best, amongst the poor of the estate* accountable nminer. The scene which now presented itself ggars description l-. TIis Majesty's highway was literally oked up with pile?/ of straw, under which several of his liege subjects were rearing and groaning, and sweating- and h avin » t in the most deplorable planner; it was vain to think of assisting them— eisch shifted for himself as he best conld. ' the road tor the ne « t few miles presented a novel spectacle-.- here and there might be seen a waggoner or waggoner's lad stretelu d out at len » th, - helpless and u 11 befriended, and bleating aloud, in the local twang,-/' Hoi say! surrie I George lad! wut'na lens a bond, my harty?" " Dang it mini, I conna," replies George, " I'm bonked mysel, and soo'a is Yethart !"-'.- ike. & c. Hats, half- boots," and wooden bottles, pikels, rakes, and smock- frocks might have been picked up at every alternate rood! while heaps of straw obstructed the way almost at every angle. Out of the five teams whkh set out two only were so lucky as to reach tu npike in safety, the toremost of which passed through, but the other, in conse- qnence of the gate- post being stupidly placed too much 011 one side, proved a dead lock for half an hour. On reaching in the darkness of the night, the horse of the headmost waggon swerving a little too much on . one side, brought the load in contact with a pediment or frontispiece before the door of a very respectable individual in that to wn, clearing every thing before it in the most merciless manner. The gentleman of the mansion rushed out, and seizing Mr. ^ .. ( who was riding slowly and unconsciously on) by the collar, demanded instant compensation for the damage sustained. P11 coining to himself, and finding himself so roughly handled, Mr ° ( hitherto considered a peaceful, mild, and quiet personage) immediately gave his enraged assailant a challenge to fight for a hundred pounds! offering to stake the money 011 the spot. Some say the combatants actually bore the bruiit of a resolute mill; others, that no sooner did Mr see the determined bearing of his antagonist, than he clapped spurs to his steed aud galloped manfully off in a direction for home. In the morning of the next day, he was discovered by his anxious and afflicted family safely arrived at the fold- gate with his head towards the horse's tail, his hat missing, coat and smallclothes Sailed, and fast asleep. It has been said by some that his boots aud smallclothes were missing, but this I am inclined to think savours, a little of exaggeration. From the foregoing statement, I hope all for whom it is intended will take warning, and if they have long journies to perform, will content themselves with— treacle wag— swipes. Tor any other thin beverage— making short baits-- and reserving " their stiff till business is completed, when it may be quaffed with impunity. WALTER WRTH.

The Major, in presenting the Plate, eulogised the conduct of Mr. Wynn, to which eulogy every bosom responded ; and the worthy Member expressed his thanks with feeling and energy. Afterwards the whole party of gentlemen, officers, and privates, accompanied Sir. VVynn to the dinner, provided by them on the occasion with great splendour and hospitality ; and high compliments were paid to Mrs. Whitehall, of the Oak Inn, for the taste and elegance displayed under her directions. The Plate presented to Mr. Wynn on this occasion, is a truly elegant Epergne, which was stationed in the centre of the Dinner Table: Lord Clive, who was one of the guests, remarked incidentally, in a neat address to the company, that the Epergne was an Orpliment which would grace the tabfc " j' any person, however high his rank and station, or however elegant bis mansion. The festivity of the day concluded in a manner gratifying to all present. On the ISlth instant, a Protestant meeting was held at Uettws- Abergele, in the county of Denbigh ; where energetic petitions to both Houses of Parliament against any further concessions of political power to the Roman Catholics were unanimously adopted.

ACR, UNDER DISTINGUISHED PATRONAGE, AT THE EOYAL HOTEL, IN CHESTER, On FRIDAY, the 9th January, 1829, In Aid of the Funds for Alleviating the Distress of the Spunish and Italian Refugees. BY MR. At the King's Head Inn Wf E embrace the earliest Opportunity of » • apprising you of our having received an extensive Selection of TEAS, direct from the East Iudia Company's Warehouses, which having been selected with particular Care by our T. P. at the Sale just concluded, we can recommend with Confidence as being ( according to their several Descriptions) superior in Quality to any Thing of the Kind ever yet ottered to the Public at considerably higher Prices.— The great Advantage we possess, from the Extent of our Purchases, of making our Selection from the Stock of the East India Company, and personally attending the Sales ( when we invariably reject all damaged Lots), enables us to offer genuine sound Teas, at full One Shilling to Eighteen Pence per Pound lower than any other House iu the Trade. We need only appeal to your own Judgment, in Confirm. Otion of our Assertion. For Example, in every Break of Teas there are a considerable Number of damaged I. ots, which are invariably bought by the London Wholesale Dealers, within a Penny per Pound of the Price of the sound Lots : now, as no Retailer would know ingly purchase a damaged Chest of Tea, what IIrf they TO do with all they buy ? The Question answers itself; of course they must mix it with the better Lots, which they furnish to their Country Customers, to whom they probably give Three Months' Credit— a Risk, to cover which they must lay on an additional Profit. Ours being exclusively a Ready Money Business, therefore liable to no such Drawbacks, of Course we can afford to sell on lower Terms. Those who are not already our Customers, we respectfully solicit to make an early Trial of our present Stock, satisfied that only is wanting to ensure their constant Favours ; the very flattering Encou- ragement we have received since our Commencement in Business being the best Evidence we can offer that out Endeavours to give Satisfaction have not been unsuccessful. A Reference only is necessary to our regular Customers, w ho allow that our Teas at 5s. 4d. ami 6s. per Pound, are equal to what they had pre- viously bought at 7s. and 8s — a convincing Proof that ours is the cheapest Tea Warehouse iu Town.

One of the passengers was drowned, and the whole of the horses. We have not heard that the body of the passenger has yet been found, or that his name is known. We have been favoured with the following additional particulars, from a correspondent, who. received them from one of the passengers on the mail at the time the accident happened:— The road, both sides the Abergavenny bridge, was inundated for nearly half a mile, and the parapet walls were covered with water. A gentle- man's carriage was passing the bridge; the mail coachman thought there was sufficient room at the side of it, but was mistaken, and drove into the river ; all his horses were carried under the arch, and im- mediately drowned ; they were all blind except one. Miss Hetnus, milliner, of Merthyr, was the only outside passenger; she was saved bv clinging to the rails, but, was up to her neck in the water nearly half an hour, before she could be extricated, and she had with her parcels of silk goods, which remained under water all night, and were entirely spoiled ; her loss will exceed £ 70. Miss Price, of Merthyr, was inside passenger; she was saved by creeping out at the coach window, but hrjd a most miraculous escape of being drowned. There was in the c - ich a banker** parcel, containing £ 16,000 in sovereigns, which was found the next morning/—' Bristol Journal. On Saturday sevnnight, John Meadows, waggoner fo Mr. Sargent, of Sheriff ' s Lench, near Evesham* was run over by his master's waggon, on his return home from Bidford, and crushed to death. It is supposed that the unfortunate deceased was riding on the waggon shafts, and in getting off, his clothes were caught, which threw him down, when one wheel passed over his head, and the opposite wheel over one foot, which must have deprived him of life a moment.— An inquest was held on the body, at e White Lion, Bidford, when a verdict of Acci- dental Death was returned. A general order has lately issued from the Hor- e Guards, which does great, honour to the sagacity and good feeling of these with whom it originated. The order enjoins all General Officers at inspections to call out from the body of the battalion under review, captains or subalterns indiscriminately, and make them put the corps through some of its prescribed manceuvrcs. This direction implies that jtmior offi- cers are to employ themselves on all occasions in pre- paring for the eye of the General Officer, from whose report their proficiency in the art, or their ignorance of it, will be at once made known at the Horse Guards, and their future eligibility for promotion will be most probably determined. It likewise teaches command- ing officers of regiments that their duty is to encourage, instead of discouraging, as too often is their inclina- tion, the endeavours of subalterns to qualify them- selves for the service. A diligent inquiry into the business and duties of the adjutant is also recor - mended to young officers of marching regiments, as a ; tep to valuable knowledge, and a recommendation to favour. But the most estimable and excellent portions of this general order are - that, which, lsf, requires the junior ranks of officers to become thoroughly acquainted 44 with the character, dis- positions, temper, and. habits, of every non- commis- sioned officer and private soldier of their respective companies and 2d, those admirable passages with which the circular concludes, recommending to officers of all ranks the use of temperate and kindly language towards their men, reproving them, when reproof is unavoidable, in such a manner as will be least likely to irritate their feelings, or mortify their honest pride, or wound their sentiment of honour. We look upon this circular letter as laying the foundation of a new era in the moral character and habits of the English army; and it will !> e more gratifying to the nation generally, because there is a physical impossibility that the system recommended by it should not abolish the odious cat- o'- nine- tails as completely as could any Act of Parliament.— Times. Two men, named Bailey and Jones, part of a gang, have been taken into custody in this city, charged with passing a quantity of £ 10 notes of Messrs. Tiley's Bank, of Devizes, which were stolen from a parcel, on its way from Messrs. T. rs engravers in London, about three years since. At that time Messrs. Tiley called in all their £ 10 notes in circu- lation, and re- issued fresh on^ s, printed with red ink. The notes ( stolen as above stated) have been filled uj> with recent dates, and with Messrs. T.' s signature. A number of these notes were passed on Saturday in this city, and many of our tradesmen have conse- quently suffered; thirty- one of such notes having been circulated. The rest of the gang are supposed to have gone towards Gloucester. The forged notes have all been cut in half, and are joined together by means of paste.— Bailey was on Tuesday committed by the Mayor on the charge of uttering a forged £ 10 note; JonCs, we understand, is discharged.— Very great credit is . due to Mr. Morgan, tea- dealer, of New Bond street, who hinting a suspicion to Hawkins that all was not. right, requested that officer to watch the parties, which fortunately stopped any further pillage by the nefarious party in this city.— Bath Herald. A lamentable accident occurred on the 2lst ult. at Naples. The cupola of the church at Torre del Greco fell down with a tremendous crash, and not less than 50 persons were killed on the spot, besides a number wounded. On Saturday a. man was crying about the streets of London, in the vicinity of the Coburg Theatre, bunches of primroses for sale— three a penny. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.— The ship Phoenix, of London, John Phillips, master, of 340 tons burthen, having a crew of 26 men, left London on the 26th of November, on a voyage of three years, to the South Seas. On the 10th instant, when to the westward of Scilly, in a very heavy gale of wind, she carried away her bowsprit, and head, together with her fore- top mast, and had her fore- mast sprung in five places; this compelled the crew to bear u » r\, and in running for Plymouth, they mistook their reckoning, and, after passing within two miles of the Western land of Mount's- Bay, with the wind at S. W. and W. S. W. continued going free until about four o'clock in the morning of Friday, the 12th instant, when she struck on a shoal on the Eastern shore of the Bay, about half a mile from Praa- Sand. The shock kn ocked oif the rudder, and shortly after she was found in a sinking state. The boats were quickly got out; two sailors with four apprentices quickly left in. one of them, and pulled out to sea. The second mate, car- penter, and seven seamen, got into a second boat and made for the beach, but they were capsize:! in the breakers, and four of the number were drowned; the others were preserved by the spirited conduct of the country people who had assembled on the sfran 1— » amongst those brave and spirited individuals, W. Hi mi Wright, of Breage, was the most conspicuous. The captain, chief- mate, and thirteen others, who were on board when the second- mate and his party left the vessel, have all perished. It is not known whether they attempted to save thomsel ves in the remaining boat, as none of them survive; but it is su[> post\ J that they thought their best chance would be to stick to the hull, which however was cast on the shore an'd knocked to atoms by the fury of the waves in about half an hour, afterwards.. The boat in which were the six persons who tirst left the ill- fated vessel and stood. out to sea, was observed soon after day- break, and a boat was instantly launched through the surf, from Prussia- Cove, by which they were speedily taken in. tow, and brought into the pier at St. Michael's Mount: The vessel belonged to William Bennett, Esq. of i- iondun, and was not insured. The loss wilt exceed £ 800( 1 The property saved is very inconsiderable, chiefly consisting of casks, cordage, sails, bread and other store*, probably not more th: trt the amount of £ 5F> 0 or £ 600. It has been curried to Marazion, and will shortly- be sold by auction.— West Br lion. SALOPIAN JOURNAL^ AMP COURIER OF WAJL£ » t » THE FANCY BALL. | 3.

The Roman Catholic Association. mercial, manufacturing, and agricultural classes, the Association exerts a very great influence, through the means of the priesthood— through personal interest — through the dread of persecution - through the hope of gain— through the delusive prospects of re- venge or aggrandizement that are held out— through flattery, and all the other arts which crafty men exercise successfully on ignorance and credulity. 4. The liberal Protestants are merely such as profess a zea) for the cause of popery to serve i/ erhsefr- es. They consist of either the representa- tives of popish counties, and their families— or the aspirants for such representation—- bankers, brewers, attorneys, & such like, seeking- for custom or employ- ment, or a few timid country gentlemen who, residing in remote places amongst a ferocious tenantry, deem it better to conform to the liberal crccd, than hazard life and property by the assertion of their real opinions. But none of this class, excepting some hair- brained blockhead, or some time- serving- news- paper editors, are identified with the association. We n - come fo the association itself, and the materials cf which it is composed. We cannot, of course, be expected to give a list of all enrolled in i this wicked confederacy; but in giving the names, station, and callings of those who manage its concerns, and arc, in effect, the association itself in all its designs and influence, we shall give a fair criterion for ascertaining its true dignity, power, and importance. In doing this, we shall give the name and profession of every individual who may be at all known to the public either as a leading, or a busy member at its frequent meetings. These will be found in general to be barristers arid their dependants, attorneys, news, paper editors, brewers, and their clerks, grocers, and a few idle gentlemen, who, having little or nothing of fheir own to do, fulfil the Arabian proverb, ^' an idle man is the deviPs play- fellow." 1.

The following form a middle class between the foregoing and following :— Eneas Macdormell, barrister and ex- editor of a newspaper and, from information they derived on their arrival at Merstham, they succeeded in apprehending a man named Nicholson, who was formerly under game- keeper to Sir William Jolliffe, and who is alleged to have been one of the men that fired at and wounded Tusker. The officer* met with consider- able resistance in securing- this man,, whom they apprehended in a small cottage on Croydon common. When they entered the door, Nicholson, on seeing them, armed himself with a long knife, and rnh, ning up a perpendicular flight of stairs, stood at the. head of the stair- case, and flourishing the weapon, swore that he would murder any man that attempted to take him. Johns and Reed, however, ascended atter titin, soon disarmed him, rrtad^ him their prisoner, and conveyed hiin forthwith to Merstham before a Magistrate. On being' taken into the presence of Tusker, he immediately identified Nicholson as one of the men who Jired at imu, and whose couutenai ce he hud an opportunity of plainly distinguishing by the light of the moon. Nicholson, on the evidence of Tusker, was fully committed for trial. Subse- quently the officerssueceeded in apprehending three men, named Adams, Pratt, and Richardson, belong- ing to the same gang-; these men being aware that they were 44 wanted," kept out of the way, but the officers having been apprised that they were still in the neighbourhood, proceeded to an unfrequented place called Smitham Bottom, and there met with them. The fellows were armed with a thick stick, a yard in length, loaded with lead at one end, and being determined on resistance, fought with the officers until threatened with being shot, when they submitted. The officers then took them before a resident Magistrate, and on being searched, several wires, snares, and other engines used for the destruc- tion of game, were found in their possession, . The prisoners, having been identified as belonging to Jhe gang who committed the depredation* in that part of the country, and kept the inhabitants in a state < xf terror and alarm, were, by the decision of the Magistrates, committed for three months each to hard labour at Guildford gaol. Nicholson will be tried the ensuing Assizes for shooting Tusker, who still remains in a very pre- carious state, from the dangerous uature of the wound he re eived.

J It is recorded in the history of the renowned Don Quixote, that the knight and his squire, having been overtaken by darkness in a woody valley, were astounded with noises so loud and horrible, as to convince them both of some imminent and appalling danger— to the master's mind promising an adventure worthy of his arm— to the squire's apprehensions foreboding instant destruction. There is no doubt that the darkness of the night and their ignorance of the cause, contributed equally to the terrors and the hopes of this incomparable pair: and, when daylight revealed the unknown monster, in the* shape of an humble and iudusJrious fulling- mill, we may well conceive the blush which crimsoned the hero's cheeks, at his over- excited valour, and the hearty chuckle with which Sancho dissipated his unfounded alarms. It is not otherwise with the blatant and obstreperous monster, whose noises 44 fright this isle from her propriety," and inspire an undefined and mysterious dread in the sister country. The 44 Roman Catholic Associat on" has spread the terror of its name far ond near; it exerts, a mighty influence in Ireland, because it has a niere mass of ignorance to operate upon ; and in England it excites notice, and a certain degree of respectful abhorrence, because that people, ignorant of what materials it is composed, calculate its constituent parts from the effects it produces. The people of Great Britain judge of the Irish by themselves; arid because they fee] that such an Association could not exist in England, and exert an ex ensive influence, unh » -; it were composed of a faijr portion of the rani*, wealth, and intelligence of tlie country— unless its leaders, at. least, wt re men high in station and in character, they fondly attribute the same characteristics to the Irish Association. Nothing can be more delusive than such an inference. It is founded in ignorance of the Irish population, and of the character and station of the Irish demagogues; and as it is a matter of no small importance to disabuse our English friends, we shall proceed to an analj'sis of the Irish Roman Catholic Association. This Association then boasts to comprehend in its organization the popish hierarchy and priesthood ( for they rank beyond the succeeding orders) •: — The Roman Catholic nobility and gentry; the Roman Catholic population engaged in commerce, manu- facture, and agricultural labour; and certain Protest- ants, miscalled 44 liberal and enlightened." This description, however, is far too general to give any clear view Qt" the real state of the Association ; we shall therefore classify it under., particular heajls, p.! lowing to each its station and its province, 1. The Popish hierarchy and clergy r 2. Nobility and gentry. 3. Population at large. 4. The liberal Protestants. And lastly, the ASSOCIATION ITBELF. We beg our readers to keep in mind this arrange- ment, and to consider with us the Association as a separate body, &> iinj>", oy acted upon, by the other bodies. 1. The Popish hierarchy and clergy then are a distinct body, by whose will, or permission, the Asso- ciation exists and enjoys a deputed power. The f> rtner is the master, and wields tbe latter at its will. The Association is the mere creature and tool of the filergv. 2. The Roman Catholic nobility and gentry ( as will be seen when we analyze the Association) are not as. a body connected with it, though they occa- sionally lend their names as individuals to its mea- sure*. Though opposed in most respects to the violence of the ruling faction, yet from their paucity, and perhaps the mediocrity of their rank and fortune, they have not influence enough to give effective resistance. Their acquiesccm* is inort appa- pent Unu) Wi — Walsh, — Corley, 1). Ronayne, Dow ell O'Reilly. If the foregoing be not a complete catalogue of all the worthies who 44 wield at will the fierce democracy" of Ireland, ( and the omissions, if any, are chargeable on our memory, not on our purpose,) it will be ad- mitted at least to be a correct list of those who take most part in Popish affairs, and have the greatest influence on the public mind. And who are they ? One lord, one baron, and one knight, two or three private gentlemen of very moderate fortune, half a dozen men in business, as merchants, grocers, brewers, a couple of priests, two or three attorneys, who by prosecutions instituted by the society can strike out work for themselves; ten barristers who can do the same, and whose names in all probability would never have been distinguished, but for their noisy patriot- ism ; and half- a- dozen editors or proprietors of news- papers, who on the late admission of one of them, do draw large revenues from the 44 Catholic rent." Such is this association, which, like the fulling- mill of the dark valley, is a formidable bugva- boo, only so long as ignorance covers it with a mysterious import- ance. Strip! of its pretensions it is thoroughly con- temptible; and when men have recovered from their surprise, and beaten it to the ground, their only wonder will be that they were ever astonished at it, Desperate Affray with !} cachers. For some length of time a formidable gang of poaeheis has infested the country about Croydon d Riegate, and committed considerable havoc amongst the game, in the preserves of several gentlemen, resident iu that part of Surrey. Various stratagems have been tried to effect the apprehen- sion of some of these nightly marauders, which has. been at length accomplished, after a desperate re- sistance on their part ; the gang, it seems, having come to a resolution, one and all, of not being taken alive. As James Tnsjter, one of Ihe under game- keepers of Sir William Jolliffe, at Merstham, was on the watch, on Tuesday morning, last, about one o'clock, accompanied by his brother and another man, the report of a gun was heard in the preserve. The three men hastened to the spot, and by the light of- the moon, which shone brightly at the time, they saw two poachers armed with guns. The poachers, on finding they were discovered, imme- diately retreated, closely pursued by James Tusker, who called out to them that he would fire if they d d not stand. The poachers, regardless of the threat, continued to run, but finding that they had little chance of escape, turned round ou their pursuers, and presented their guns at James Tusker, who instantly threw himself ftet on the ground, to avoid being shot. The poachers again turned round and attempted to escape out of the preserve. I'll moment, however, Tusker perceived their object, he started off the ground to prevent it, and yyhen within about six yards of the poachers, they again w heeled round upon him, and presenting, their guns at him, one of them fired, and the contents of the gun lodged iu the lower part of Tusker's abdomen, and he fell on the ground. The poachers finding they had shot the man, again took to their heels, and succeeded iu making their escape out of the grounds. Tusker was wounded in such a dreadful manner that the mew who accompanied him were obliged to render hjtji assistance, instead of pursu ing the offenders, lie was conveyed home, aud medical assistance having been procured, th hemorrhage arising from the wound was stopped and it was ascertained to have been inflicted with shot. Tusker, however, remains without hope oi recovery. Information of the outrage having been given at Cniop Hall, in a letter from Sir William Jollitfe, addressed to Mr. Chambers, with a request that some of the officers belonging to the establish- ment uiiy M he sent down to assist in the detection rind upyiehfiisiou of ihu offenders, direction* were The idea of artificial grottos is almost always wrongly conceived. Those who construct them fre- quently imagine that, they are imitating nature, while at the same time every thing they do is directly the reverse. Who ever saw a natural grotto or cavern covered in the inside with beautiful shells stuck all over it, intermixed with pieces of coral, looking- glass, and every species of showy ornament? And those who aim at making a more sober species of grotto, by introducing only rough masses of stone to imitate natural rocks, and covering the whole with moss, weeds, & c always fail in their attempts to imitate nature. To say the truth, the difficulties in this species of imitation are by far greater than most per- sons have an idea of. To succeed, the abilities not only of the naturalist, but also those of the painter and the architect, are absolutely necessary. No per- son ignorant of these sciences can properly conceive the design, and distribute in an easy and natural manner the various materials. Nothing is more diffi- cult than to imitate nature, and a failure in the attempt always disgusts. There is another idea, however, that may be enter- tained with regard to artificial grottos, which is, that they need not represent natural caverns, but the supposed productions of enchantment or magic. In this light, most of the incongruities will disappear, and every possible license may be given for the dis- play of imagination and taste. Nothing is supposed to be impossible to magical power : therefore every species of natural or artificial productions may be combined together, and every thing introduced that may excite astonishment and surprise. There is no necessity either for imitating the appearance of natural grottos, but every species of regularity and irregularity may be licensed. The sciences of archi- tecture and mechanics may thus lend their aid in the construction of places, where mere nature is not the object, of imitation, but where every thing may be employed that can have a powerful effect upon the imagination. Shell- work, corals, spar, coloured glass, petrifac- tions, statues, fountains, streams of water, paintings, curious^ musical pieces of mechanisto ; ia short, every- thing curious or extraordinary may be introduced with great success; and in this art there is an ample field for the display of taste. The exterior of a grotto is a part where the least attempt at ornament should be made. It is best made to resemble some hermitage constructed of roots of trees, or some similar kind of structure ; but no attempt should ever be made here to imitate a natural cavern, except, indeed, the situation should be peculiarly happy for this purpose, and will admit light only through windows formed of stained glass; which greatly adds to the grandeur interiorly. Artificial Coral for grottos may be made by the following simple process:— To two drachms of very fine vermilion add one ounce of clear resin, and melt them together. Having your branches or twigs peeled and dried, paint them over with this mixture while hot. The black thorn is the best branch for it. Hold them over a gentle fire, turning them round till they are perfectly covered and smooth, you may make white coral with white lead, and black with lamp black. Artificial Petrifactions may be made thus:—- Put into a retort a quantity of pounded fiuor spar and a few bits of broken glass, made small; pour upon them some oil of vitriol; fluoric acid gas will be dis- enga^- ed, holding silex in solution. The substances to be m ® de to resemble petrifactions, as lizards, frogs, branches of trees, birds' nests, & c & c. must now be moistened wi. h water, and placed in £ vessel con- nected with the neck of the retort. The fluoric acid gas will be absorbed by the moisture adhering to the substances, and the silex will be deposited upon them like a sort of hc& r- frost, which wiil have a very beau- tiful appearance, and is very durable. Cemeict, for the operative part of the grotlo, may be made in the following way Take two parts of white resin, melt it clear, add to it lour parts of bees' wax ; when melted together, add some flour of the stone which is to be cemented, two or three parts, or so much as will give the cement the colour of the stone; to this add one part- of the flour of sulphur first incorporate all together over a gentle fire, and afterwards knead it with your hands in warm water. With this fasten the stones, shells, coral, & c. after they are well dried and warmed before the fire^ They have not asked for your co- operation;— they will not thank you for it. ' They know you too well to expect any respect from you for their religious, principles : and you know them too well, not to know that if they were to have political power, they would use it to deprive you of your liberty to worship God according to your consciences. Let no sophistry impose upon your understanding! Let no false ratiocination beguile your judgment! Fear not being charged with 4 bigotry,' 4 in tolerance,"* or 4 ig- norance Your principles, as Protestant dissenters* are not involved in the question! You will be unworthy of the name of being the descendants of Calamy, Owen, and Kyftin, if you give any support to the Roman Catholics!

Resolve, that you will not contribute, in any degree, towards enslaving your children, or again bringing 4 a yoke upon their necks, which neither we nor our fathers were able to bear.' 4 Watch you, quit yourselves like men ; BK STRONG !' 44 Considering myself also as a member of that large family of Protestant dissenters spread through- out the United Empire, I address them as brethren descended from the same common stock ( not from the two thousand nonconformist ministers, who, however it may be true 44 that they sacrificed interest to con- science," yet were dissenters from necessity and not from principle); the stock from which genuine evangelical dissenters sprung, were William Tyndale, John Frith, Richard Lambert, and those who were called sacramentarians, who, before the reformation in England, suffered as Protestant dissenters. You have the blood of martyrs running in your veins; of men who said, even at the stake, 44 None but Christ, none but Christ;" who loved not their livps unto the death in resisting the persecuting spirit of that popish age. May 1 not indulge the pleasing expectation, that you, from an abhorrence of popery, will refuse to sanction the application of Roman Catholics for that political authority, which it is possible may, at no distant period, be employed, if not for the destruction of your bodies, yet for the deterioration of your liberties? Surely we ought seriously to deliberate how we lend our assistance to obtain power Ur the State for 44 those," as the great John Locke describes the Roman Catholics, 44 that will not own and teach the duty of tolerating all men on the subject of religion." The value of religious liberty cannot be too highly estimated, nor too sacredly preserved ; nor can our opposition to the Church of Rome " be too strongly marked. To enforce this statement, suffer me to present you with a quotation from a sermon, by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Chandler, in 1734. He was an eminent Presbyterian pastor in the church, in Old Jewry, now removed to Jawin- street. After having proved, that all the marks of Antichrist, or 44 of that beast, which it is prophesied should ascend out of the bottomless pit," belonged to the Church of Home, he says, 44 and when we think of the souls of those which she hath slain fcr the tcord of God and the testimony which they held, let us, in abhorrence of this impiety and cruelty, cry out, HOW LONG, O LORD, HOLY AND TRUF, DOST THOU NOT JUDGE AND AVENGF. THEIR BLOOD ON THEM THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH." Adhere, therefore, my bre- thren, to THE PROTESTANT RELIGION; I mean the religion of the New Testament, Be thankful to God for the privileges you enjoy ; educate your children firmly in the principles of CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. Walk worthy your obligations and your privileges, that God may not. be provoked to with- draw his protection from you, nor give you up into the hands cf men, who, wherever they prevail, bring ruin and slavery, inquisitions and tortures wi* h Shem; and whose true character is, 44 THAT THEIR TENDER MERCIE ARE CRUELTIES." 44 In conclusion, then, I venture to adopt the words of a prophet, addressed by him to the pious king Jehosaphat, and most respectfully and earnestly say to every Protestant dissenting minister, and to all who compose the various and numerous congregations of Protestant dissenters in Great Britain and Ireland, in relation to petitioning on the subject of the Roman Catholic claims: — 44 SHOUL.

By the Author of the " Histories of th « Scottish Rebellions, " the Traditions of Edinburgh," & c. The only amusement in which this celebrated man indulged was playing on tUe violin. He was so great a proficient on this instrument, and so often beguiled his leisure hours with it, that the people of Dunferm- line believed he composed his sermons to its tones, as a poet writes a song to a particular air. Tfeey also tell the following traditionary anecdote connected with the subject. A poor man in one of th$ neigh- bouring parishes, having a child to baptize, resolved not to employ his own clergyman, with whom he was atrssuaon various points of doctrine, but to have the office performed by some minister of whose tenets fame gave a better report. With the child in his arms, therefore, and attended by the full complement of old and young women who usually minister on such occasions, he proceeded to the manse of EXTRACT From the Rev. Joseph Ivimefs Pamphlet to the Prvtestant Dissenters. 44 Suffer me to say, that, as a member of the 44 General Body of Dissenting Ministers of the Three Denominations," I deprecate the introduction of this ubjcct at the Red Cross- street Library. I can hardly imagine that any three persons of each denomination can be found who would unite to convene a meeting of the body for such a purpose Should this, however, be the case, I request that the subject may be fairly stated in the secretary^ notice for such meeting. Let it not be called, as in 1813, 44 to consider the propriety of presenting a petition for the repeal of all the penal statutes now in force on the subject of religion;" hut that a petition be presented to the legislature for 44 the removal of the civil disqualifications which relate to the Homan Catholics. Jt will then he fairiy ascertained whether a majority of our body will or will not support the claims of the Roman Catholics, J hope a large majority would decide, that such a subject is no more proper for us, according to the constitution of our society, even to discuss, than would be the political question of a reform in Parliament! Let us strictly observe the apostolic precept.; ^ and that ye study to be quiet and mind your own business?' As a society of Protestant dissenting ministers, oU'r proper business regards those religions subjects which concern our own civil and religious liberties, and not those political questions which relate to a class of persons with u hom w. e have no connexion. 44 As a minister, too., of one of those congregations which appoint representatives to the 44 deputies for defending the civil rights of Protestant dissenters," 1 take the liberty to say again to that numerous and respectable body of men, as I addressed them April 28, 1825, under the title of 44 Philo Protestans ;"— hoping that they will act upon the spirit of the recommendation : 44 Neither bless them at all* nor curse tiici* at al) " Let them fight their own bottle. some miles off ( not that of Mr. Erskine), where h< inquired if the clergyman was at home. 44 Na, he'i no at, hame yenoo," answered the servant lass ; 44 he's down the burn fishing. But I can soon cry him m." — 44 Ye needna gie yoursell the trouble," replied the man, quite shocked at this account of the minister's habits; 44 nnne o' your fishin' ministers shall bapteese my bairn." Off he then trudged, followed by, his whole train, to the residence of another parochial clergyman, at the distance of some miles. — Here, on his inquiring if the minister was at home, the lass answered, 44 Deed, he's no at hame the day ; he's been out since sax i' the morning at the shooting. Ye needna waif, neither; for he'll be sae made out ( fatigued) when he comes back, that he'll no be able to say bo to a calf, let a- be kirsen a wean !"— 44 Wait, lassie !" cried the man in a tone of indignant, scorn; 44 wad 1 wait, d'ye think, to hand up my bairn before a minister that gangs out at sax i' the morning to shoot God's creatures ? I'll awa down to gude Mr. Erskine at Dunfermline ; and he'll be neither out at the fishing nor the shooting, I think." The whole baptismal train then set. off for Dunfermline, sure that the Father of the Secession, although not now a placed minister, would at least be engaged in no unclerical sports, to incapacitate him for performing the sacred ordinance in question. On their reaching, however, the house of this clergyman, which they did not do till late in the evening, the man, in tapping at the door, anticipated that he would not be at home any more than his brethren, as he heard the strains of a fiddle proceeding from an upper chamber. u The minister will no be at hame," he said, with a sly smile, to the girl who came to the door, 44 or your lad ( sweetheart) wad na be playing that gate t'ye on the fiddle." — 44 The minister is at hame, 3' quoth the girl, 44 mair by token that it's hiuisell that's playing, Jioiiest man. He aye takes a tune at night, before gaun to bed. Faith, there's nae lad ov mine can play that gate ; it wad be something to tell if ony o? them could." — 44 That the minister playing i" cried the mar, in a degree of astonishment and horror far tran- scending what he had expressed on either of the other occasions, 44 If he does this, what may the rest no do ! Weel, I fairly gie them up a' thegither. I have travelled this haill day in search o' a godly minister, and never man met wi' sjiair disappointment, in a day's journey.— Pil tell ye what, gude wife," he added, turning to the disconsolate parly behind, 44 we'll just awa back to our ain minister after a' !— He's no a' thegither sound, it's true j but, let him be w hat he likes in doctrine, deil hae me if ever 1 kenned him to fish, shoot, or play on the fiddle, a' his days !"— The Edinburgh Literary Journal. As to the communication which O'Connell so impudently asserts he has received respecting a pretended Emancipation pill, we have only to say that his assertion is totally void of foundation.— London Morning Fosi. ELOQUENCE.— The natural consequence of the increase o. knowledge must be the decline of what is called eloquence. The lectures of mathema- ticians, chemists, and medical professors, have never been celebrated for eloquence, because the speakers have endeavoured to communicate facts, and not lo amuse the ear with phrases. The less a man knows on any subject, the more scope there is for his eloquence, as there is more room for his imagination. The compass of facts would cramp rhetorical paces. Politics are better understood now than formerly, and declaumtious huvg iu that province proyortiouubty dccliatU. The following letter from a Correspondent to the Cheltenham Journal, proves, in addition to the article from Hull, which we published a few days since, that the unauthorised surcharges now making in the Metropolis, are extending by degrees to the country. We trust that publicity wiil be su- fticient to put an end to the practice. 4 1 beg leave to call your attention, and that of my fellow- townsmen, fo a very recent, 1 had almost said arbitrary, augmentation of ihe Inhabited House Duty, which has taken place in many districts of the town. That the proposed increase of duty is highly unpop lar I have every reason to believe ; and it certainly behoves those concerned to resist it as far as possible, upon the appeal- day, which will take place on the 20th of January, and the same day on the following month. I am fully persuaded that it never could have been the intention of Government to tax a house at. any thing near its rack- rent; therefore, a representation to the proper authorities might possibly be attended with success. In towns like this, w here the rents are enormous in proportion to the real value of the houses, the above tax must be very oppressive ; and I verily believe that the augmentation has been laid on, not for the benefit of the Government, but for the advantage of a few. If such should prove to be the case it behoves every one to look to it in time, as. there is no knowing where or when the nuisance may terminate." In our paper of yesterday we took occasion to deny the truth of the statement, recently made by O'Connell, to the effect that his Majesty's Ministers intend to introduce a bill into Parliament for the emancipation of the Roman Catholics. We again deny the truth of this assertion in the most positive manner ; it is & mere fabrication, got up by the Catholic demagogues for the purpose of forwarding their own seditious views. The Noble Duke at the head of the Government has never for one moment entertained the idea of yielding to the impudent threats of the Popish faction. Indeed his Grace has been heard to express his conviction, that the events of the last few months have effectually settled the question of emancipation. In the mean time, however, we beg to state, upon good authority, that something will be done for Ireland in the ensuing session. What that something is, the agitators will know very . soon — much sooner we imagine, than they desire.— Ministerial Morning Paper. Early on Tuesday morning last, a dosperate yang of between 30 and 40 poachers, armed with gun and bludgeons, entered the plantations of Edward Wilkinson, Esq. of Potterton, near Tadcaster. The keepers and their assistants, on approaching the depredators, were brutally maltr - ated; and one of the former had a single- barrelled gun taken from his possession. Thev then commenced their work of destruction among the game preserves; but in the mean time a messenger being dispatched to M R ad, with the intelligence, that active officer collected a posse of men, and proceeded to the spot with the utmost expedition, in the hope of cap- turing some of the delinquents. In this, however he did not succeed, as the poachers had left Mr Wilkinson's ground before the arrival of himself and assistants, taking- with them a great quantity of game. A strong: party of poachers, supposed to be the same, infested the grounds of the Marchi o te- s of Hertford in the early part of Monday 1112-, from whence it is supposed they proceeded to Potterton —* Leeds Intelligencer. Last month, as a labourer was removing tbe soil of a stone- quarry, in the neighbourhood of Hud dcrsfield, ou the supposed site of the atici Cambodunum, he discovered upwards of 290 silver aud copper Roman coins, which appear to be of the era of the latter part of the Dictatorship, aud the reisrnft of Julius and Augustus Cassar. O. i Sunday last, about nine o'clock in the morn- ing, a considerable sensation of alarm was created in the town of Leicester,, and particularly in the neighbourhood of the county gaol, a handsome new edifice, situated ou the Welford- road. In conse- quence of the violent ringing of tbe alarm- bell a tached to that prison,, a number of individuals immediately flocked to the spot to learn the cause of the unusual disturbance, when the gates were instantly opened, and the persons surrounding the front of the prison admitted, when it appeared that 11 prisoners, confined on capital charges, had made » most desperate effort to obtain their liberty. The following- are the circumstance^ under which this bold attempt was made: Mr. Musson, the son of the governor of the prison, a few minutes before n ne, accompanied by the turnkey, repaired to the yard in which the prisoners are confined on capital charges, according to weekly custom, for the purpose of distributing to the felons a change of linen. They had no sooner entered within the door of the yard, than the prisoners immediately s.' ized them, and violently wrested the keys of the various yards aud apartments from the turnkey, who, in making a resistance, received a severe contusion from a blow inflicted by one of the felons with the ponderous bunch of keys. The prisoners then contrived to keep Mr. Musson and the turnkey secured until the whole party passed through into the large yard: they then closed the door upon them, which fastens with spring locks, opening ouly on the outside. On reaching the large yard, tho felons proceeded to unlock the doors of the apartments i. i which other prisoners were confined, whom they invited to join them iu their attempt to escape. These prisoners, however, refused to have any thing- to do with the affair. The refractory felons were about then to proceed towards the principal gate, but the turnkey having discovered what was going forward, commenced ringing the alarm- bell, which in a very short period summoned a considerable number of individuals to the prison, who sue e? ded in retaking the keys. The apart- ments appropriated to tire prisoners confined for debt were instantly opened, and the debtors released into the yard, who, together with the assistance of Mr. Musson, sen. the governor of the gaol, who had not risen when the occurrence commenced, aud other individuals, overpowered the felons without bloodshed, and lodged them in separate cells. It appears that some © f the most desperate characters composed the party : they are principally committed for highway robbery, house breaking, horse aud sheep stealing,— two of them are brothers, named Varnham, who are charged with horse- stealing. AKECDOTK.— The following was related by HolSand, ( a celebrated landscape composer,) regarding two of tiie finest pictures which are in this or perhaps any other country— they are the works of the. immortal Claude:— 44 A nobleman purchased them in Italy, and 6ent them over to this country, directed to a friend, with instructions for him to pay the duty upon them, which amounted to £ 27. 10s. and to preserve them carefully until his return. These instructions the friend neyer re. ceived j and when the pictures were lauded at Dover, nobody being there to make any inquiries about them, they were seized by the officers of the port for non- payment of the duty, and were put to public auction, as is customary in these cases, for that purpose. Strange to say, there was no one who ha4 discernment enough to see the merits of these stupendous productions, and the pictures were fortunately drawn in unsold, £ 17 being the greatest otfer for them. Shortly after this, the nobleman arrived in England, and instantly wrote to his friend about his property. You may imagine, by the sequel, what was his surprise, when his friend returned for answer, that he was extremely sorry to say, that he was entirely ignorant of such things existing. The thought which struck him first, was to proceed to the landing place, Dover; and, after several inquiries, he at last found his treasures thrown by in an old ware room, amidst a heap of confiscated rubbish. He paid the £ 27. 10s. joyfully, and the pictures were given, up to him. Two years after this, those pictures were put up for sale, aud purchased by Mr. Beckford, of Fonthill Abbpy, for 12,000 guineas; when that gentleman sold his magnificent domain to Farquhar, the pictures were taken along with it, for the original price; when the latter died, they were again put to the hammer, and bought by Angerstein, for an advancement of 3000 guineas, making the s. um 15,000 guineas ; and when his collection wus purchased by Government, as public property, they were taken at a valuation of 16,000 guineas, and they are, at this moment, the most splendid orua- m. euts in the British Gallery." MIGRATION OF PIKES.— We are informed by the Rev. R. Sheppard, au ingenious living naturalist, that an annual migration of pikes occurs in the river Cam, up which they con. e in great shoa's, doubtless from the fens of lily, where they breed, j The uiigratiou occurs iu spring-. The pro- popery lords and gentlemen of Kent on Monday sought consolation for their late discom- fiture at Penenden in a convivial meeting at the Star Inn, Maidstone. Lord Darnley, who had led the broken host in the field, presided over the mortuary festival commemorative of its defeat. The neighbourhood of Bristol has recently been most persevering ly attacked by thieves, supposed to constitute a regular gang. Two Churches and one Dissenting chapel have lately been broken into and robbed, as well as about, eight large houses or warehouses. Amongst the houses was that of a distinguished county Magistrate, which was un- ceremoniously entered and robbed. Several large rewards have been offered for the apprehension of the robbers ; £ 50 for the securing of those who entered Clifton Church ; £ 50 for apprehending those who entered a large warehouse. Three of the robbers, in one instance, were secured ; one of them turned out to be a fellow just discharged from prison. The Manchester Mercury says— 44 We mentioned in our last the seizure of r. parcel containing £ 1160 in forged £ 5 Bank of England Notes, which had been sent by coach from Birmingham. Mr. Lavender, on, opening the parcel, found that the notes were enveloped in a number of leaves evidently torn out of a school copy- book, from each of which the name of the writer had been carefully cut, in order to prevent detection. Mr. Lavender, however, thought it probable that the police of Birmingham might be enabled by these to trace out the party who had sent the parcel; he therefore enclosed them, together w ith the envelope of the parcel, and the lid of an old band- box, which had been used in making it up, to the Birmingham police- office, where the whole under- went a very rigid scrutiny. It was thoro diocovcrcd that the person who had cut off the name from the copy- book leaves had, in one case, left the tops ofa S ( which had evidently been the initial letter of the christian name) and a C and double t, which ap- peared to have been the initial and final letters of the surname. Their suspicions, therefore, were im mediately directed towards a man named Corbett^ who resided about two miles from Birmingham, and was previously well known to them. On searching his house they found other copy- books, with the name S im' el Ccrbett written at the foot of each page, and evidently in the same hand- writing as that which appeared on the leaves that had been sent from . Manchester. They found also an old band- box without a lid, and exactly corresponding in size and appearance with the lid which had been used in making up the parcel. The hand- writing on the envelope of the parcel also corresponded exactly with the writing of Corbett. During their search, two well known dealers in base money came to the house* little dreaming of the visitors who had preceded them. They were immediately taken into custody and searched, but nothing was found upon them." MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.— Mr: Dawson, of th « Small- hurst, near this town, ho. » at the present time a fine pear- tree in full bloom. In many parts of thin county primroses have already made their appear- ance. On Tuesday last, at Gawswortb, a robin was disturbed from her nest, which contained seven'eggs. On Saturday, at Great Warford, near Knutsford, the following nests were observed on the farm of Mr, John Wroods, publican, in that village a blackbird' ® , nest, with one egg ; a skylark's, with two eggs; and one of a kite, with two eggs.— In addition we can state, that on the farm at Titherington, near this- town, belonging to Mr. Thomas Johnson, of Mill- i street, fine mushrooms have made their appearance* and were taken on Thursday. It is confidently expected that young potatoes will be exhibited at | Wiimslo. w, on Christmasrday.— Macclesfield Courier. The Leicester Journal says tbat. a dinner is to be given at Hinckley, on which occasion the friends of Mr. Sansome, and the late creditors of the Hinckley bank, will present him with a very elegant and costly piece of plate, as a testimony of their high opinion of his very honourable conduct in paying the depositors, of the late bank their full claims, with four per cent, interest. Mr. Sherlock, late Paymaster of the 87th regiment, stationed at Chester, has been tried and found guilty on nine charges of embezzlement, and sentenced to be dismissed from the service, with- incapacity to serve his Majesty in any office,, civil or military, and to make good the amount of the sums proved against him. He has been since lodged in Chester Castle for- the sum cf £ 2fr59. EMPLOYMENT OF CONVICTS ABROAD.— The following faefs may greatly teiid to do away with a very mischievous, though popular, error, respects ing the convicts abroad, which is often represented in highly flattering terms by the transports them* selves, in letters to their friends. U is the feeling of great numbers of the poor people at home, 4hat their condition is worse than the prisoners abroad, and many would not mind committing some crime merely that they may be transported ; but the treatment of the convict is very different from what is generally expected It is true, that some of them are well circumstanced, but it is only the better sort of them, being siich as are good scholar* or tradesmen • and, above all, such as are truly sober men ; but every thing like liberty is positively forbidden, and they cannot chuse their own masters,. If a settler at Van Dieman's Land wishes to have a convict servant, he applies at the office for one; and if he is transported for seven or fourteen years, or for life* he must serve his master accordingly. His provisions are served out to him once a week in a raw state, and he must cook thsm himself, if his master pleases. He must labour from morning till night, and never i- poeive a furthinj^ in wa « e « « -, and if he is ttie least impertinent or carelesp, he suffers twenty lashes, or works in chains ; and for tbe second offence, he is sent to Macquarie Harbour, where all incorrigible offenders are sent. This is a punishment which, from the nature of the place and of the employment, is inferior only to on ignominious death. The harbour is situated on a bleak, and dismal coast, exposed to the accumulating clouds and storms of the whole Southern Ocean. In summer, these poor wretches are roused from sleep, and, after a scanty meal, they are placed in boats to row through a stormy sea, in all weathers, to their place of labour on the main. There they are kept at incessant toil till the setting sun warns their keepers to place them in safety for the night, and they row back to the second and concluding meal of the day ; and this discipline is observed with the greatest rigour.
