BULWBLL, NEAR NOTTINGHAM, SEPT. 27, 1828. GENTLEMEN, HAVE frequently regretted that I have iio't in times, past made that Acknowledgment which is justly due, for the benefit my family has derived from your excellent Medicine, the ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS. Rjly. Son William, when about a year old, was afflicted with the Measles, w hich left a Spot upon his leg. . This soon ulcerated and spread, forming a larg « wound. The Surgeon to whom we applied succeeded in healing ihe ulcer, but almost immediately afterwards au ulcer appeared upon his face, and the boy wag dreadfully afflicted with running sores upon his neck anil body ; the discharge of matter was so great, that we were obliged daily to change bis linen. The Physicians aud Suigeous in the neighbourhood were applied to, but their skill was it) vain; several other remedies we resorted to proved equally inef- fectual, and the sufferer continued a poor and miserable object, almost bent double for near twenty years. At Ibis time 1 heard of the virtues of your inestimable medicine, and after taking six UotleV "( w hich I pur chased from Mr. Sutton, of Nottingham,) an amend- ment began to take place, and perseverance in taking four boitb » more, effected a perfect cure. It is now six years since this was accomplished, f.. r which I return you my unfeigned thanks, aud wish you to make ii public, for the . benefit of those who may be similarly afflicted. - I am, Gentlemen. Your " obedient servant, JOHN FOULKES To Messrs. J^ ignum and. Sont Surgeons, Manchester. N B. I know several other instances of extraordinary cures performed by your Antiscorbutic Drops, in thi » village. Those who doubt the truth of the above case, may npplv personally, or by. letter .( Post- paid) to Mr Foil Ik en, or Mr. Sutton, Bookseller, Nottingham.

The Russian campaign has closed — as all men wished, but none expected— in extraordinary dis- comfiture. Su much for bouBtinif!' The pomposity of the Russian Government, and its diplomatic med. clliuqr on all kinds of occasions, had actually succeed- ed to the extent of making uruive men fear thai the. Scythiana were agsttti likely to disturb the world. There never was, iu tbe memory ei* la^ ti, a cam- paign that so speedily and oonapietely confounded the pretensions- of an arrogant government. Three months ago showed Ihe Russian army, drawn up at the foot of the Balkan, and only waiting f„ i- the Em- peror's nod to storm the hills, sweep over Rumelia,. and ni l scarcely the formality of a siege, walk into Constantinople. But then came the Turks, rag- ged and raw, yet not to- be driven from their ground by bulletins; and the Russian battalions rapidly felt that the march to Constantinople must be postponed. The labours of a whole campaign have issued in the capture of a single fortress, whose fall is imputed to treachery, and whose maintenance in the hands of- tlie captors is already threatened. On all other points, the " Grand Russiau Army," the choice of the whole force o. f. the empire, and probably the. whole disposable force of the empire, has been shamefully beaten. Their own bulletins, which of course soften the disaster as much as possible, are compelled to acknowledge tremendous losses. We have accounts of the staff of armies, grouped together iu ( assy and Bucharest, without iv soldier of those armies; colonels, in all directions, without regi- ments ; brigades of artillery, without a gun ; hordes of cavalry, without a horse; cannon buried, waggons, burned, wounded deserted, hospitals crowded, trreat army- corps left behind, to fight their wav back if they. can, and probably long since broken up, and in the enemy's hands; tha* enemy pouring on in in- creasing force, and with the spirit of victory ; aud the Russians still fi. ving, with the Imperial Guard, leading the flight, and the Einper. ar a thousandnyl** from the field. It ia. computed that their three months' campaign has cost the Russ ans not less than sixty thousand men slain, dead of distemper, or disabled by wounds and hardship. But the scarce! v less evident proofs of failure are to be found in the- rapid changes of the imperial officers. The latest intelligence states, that after frowning down soma halfdozeu of Ibe highest rank, and among others, the generalissimo, the Emperor dispatched an order to the general commanding iu Armenia, to take the charge of the Moldavian army, and retrieve its fortunes if he can. The case must be all but hopea less, which resortstoexpedientslike this; and runs the risk of disgusting I lie chief officers of his army, for Ihe sake of trying h w far the chaser of a rabble, of the loose cavalry and h If naked infantry of ths limits of Asia Minor, may be able to stand against the force of European Turkey, fighting under the eye of the Sultan. We regret this melanchtdy waste of life : no mail, can ihink of the horrors that must have preceded and followed tbe Russian retreat, without tbe deepest feeling for the unfortunate beings who were thus urged into ruin. But we cannot regret the punish nient of presumption, the guilt of an utterly unpro- voked war, nor the important discovery of the true strength of an empire, which for the last dozen years, laboured to impress the belief that it was restrained from universal devouring only by the difficulty of deciding which state it should devour first. Tbe account. from Bue. b rrest are a terrible ro- n- poriiid of the evils of war and the elements. Sudden winter—- deluges of rain— intolerable cold— violent disease— famine— deadly fatigue— and perpetual ex- posure to the enemy, are the scourges that have driven back, in shame and ruin, the invaders of- Turkey So may perish tbe unjust wherever their standards are unfurled ; so may perish the thirsters after conquest;— such be the only honours of Ihe loved of war, for its own sake. The Russians have now twice given the world a lesson. When Napo, leou attacked them, they stood on the righteous side; and they triumphed, by Ihe most signal victory, over the unyighteous boaster. They have now assaih- d an unoffending power, and their unrighteous war has been repelled. Man and the elements have been enlisted lo punish them, almost in the ex [ tress form of which their own deliverance offered so memorable an example. Tile Russian bulletins copy involuntarily the language of the retreat of Moscow. Long may the lesson be remembered, by nations whose peace is more essential, and whose hostility must be more ruinous. The pledge of Eu- ropean quiet would be well purchased, by the deep. « st severity of the experience that taught the Rus- sian sovereigns to seek the glory of viveir til roue; only iu the civilization of their people. A FELOYS VILLA ! Hunton the felon's villa makes a figure among the sales at Garraway's. This villa was a fine affair " a spacious family residence, with numerous offices, carriage- yard, stabling, and coach- house, outbuildings, with extensive pleasure- grounds, walled gardens, orchard, lawn, plantations, vinerv, & c. and fifteen acres of meadow and tillage." The whole sold for £ 3400.. Of course no man can desire to exult in the fate of a miserable being, urged by vanity to extrava- gance, and by extravagance to fraud. But what a lesson is here iu the contrast of his luxuries and his end! and how naturally the one leads to the other ! Here was a gradual slave of meanness and guilt, who could not live without the honour and glory of a villa, which, if he had never dreamed of, he might have been at this hour a thriving and respectable man, and of which ihe very price, if he eo. uld have prevailed oil himse'f to dispense with his vinery, orchards, & c. might have saved him front the atrocious act for which he died. We shrink from the calculation of how many of his survivors are on Ihe verge of tbe same course of guilt bv the same contemptible necessity. When persons employed at the low salaries of our public offices, feel it incumbent on them to ape their superiors, and, ou a couple of hundreds a year, show off at the rate of as many thousands, flourish in tilburies, attend Epsom, lay in gieir own. champagne, and give dinners to ' » a select few" at the Albion, we know where the history must end. We regularly find ils devolopemeut in a flight to' America, with £ 40,000 of Ibe public money, for whiclij if uegligeutfe in high p. lapen be punishable the head of tl, e olfice o. ugl, t to he" mulcted to double the amount; or iu a flight from, the \ yorld, iu the stockbroker style, at the tangent of n pistol; or in a farewell to it, at the end of a rope, ii;. the shop keeper- style. But, iu whatever style the close arrives, the catastrophe is inevitable; and if every viila in tbe vicinage of Loudon, for which a speculator has been banished, shot, or banged, were to have his effigy fixed up in ihe centre of its " lawn, surrounded, as Mr Robins says, " with flowering shrubs of the most enchanting odours, brilliant Cape- heaths, and orange- trees brought from the first conservatories in the vealnp of the British isles;" the warning would be the. pre- servative of many a i\ eck. The s" ducJio^} qf th'i; villa, even with all its siikeu- liued yscauaas,' and plate- glass windows down to the ground, vyoqld b^ tolerably neutralized by the scarecrow in frqut • or if, instead of the eflvty, the skeleton of the culprit could be gibbetted on the parterre, the sight would be only the more valuable, if not for its entertain- ment, at least for its moral. We lepoiiiuiend thi; bint to the Legislature. About four o'clock oil tbe afternoon of Tu° sdav week a smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Connie, being the third time within the last four months. A loud thundering noise accompanied aud followed the shock, which was heard eastward at a distance of 1- 2 luilts.— lJ » rth Courier. OF3AM JOUMWAlLj AN © COURIER OF WALES.

[ From fhe Sfar of BHiVswick.] Lord Anglesey is. recalled from the Lieutenancy of Ireland. Public rumour hns it, and some of our con temporaries so argue, th;> t this measure has been adopted in consequence of the fetter Written by his Excellency to Dr. ( u^ ti- s the Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, and wMcli will be fonud subjoined. We can state, upon the most unquestionable authority, that s'ic, h is- m^ f the fact, lor the last month, consi- derable dissatisfaction has been expressed by the Duke of WeHington, at the mode in which Ireland has been governed; and, if we are rightly informed, a very angry correspondence was the result. Pending this, we are given to understand, that a measure for sup- pressing the Roman Catholic Association,, or some equally unequivocal manifestation on the paVt of the Government as to its impression of things as they are, w'as proposed, and that Lord Anglesey, having ques- tioned the propriety of carrying such measure into execution, without being previously made acquainted with the precise intentions of the Cabinet with respect to Ireland, and particularly so far as affected the ad- justment of the Roman Catholic Question, his recall was instantaneous ; so that, so farfrom the recall being consequent, upon the letter, the letter was written in evident pique at the recall. Far he it from us to question the right of every man honestly and conscientiously to give expression to his opinion, or to withhold, from the meanest in the land, much less from the mightiest, the exercise of private judgment. But when a personage of high station rushes into print, and in his character of Chief Governor of a country seeks to involve in difficulty the first minister of the King, and cast odium upon the individual at the head of that Cabinet from whence he received his power and derived his functions, it be- comes us, not only to dissect the document itself, but to scan the motives and question the objects of the writer. it argues little for the quantity of discrimination possessed by Lord Anglesey, that he himself admits that he learned, for the first time, from a Roman Ca- tholic priest what the " precise sentiments" of the Duke of Wellington were with regard to the Catholic Question, the only one which agitates that country over which he was set as Governor. This is a strange declaration, take it in what, way we will; — strange that, if he had forgotten his Grace's recorded opinions in and out of Parliament, a common sense of duty did not induce him to satisfy himself upon a matter of such paramount importance, whether as it regarded the interests of Ireland, or as it might be a guide for hi*. own system of government. It is impossible to suppose that he must not have heard his Grace express himself upon the subject; but, perhaps, disbelieving him, he required the confirmation of a Romish Bishop us to his " precise sentiments." We protest, with every inclination ou our parts to treat Lord Anglesey in his private and personal ca- pacity, with every degree of respect., we cannot look upon this letter other than as one of the most unequi- vocal pieces of political treachery ever perpetrated. In this view we put aside the mere petulance growing out of disappointment, and which is, we think, observ- able throughout, as well as the absurdity— for it amounts to that— of Lord Anglesey's commentary upon the l) u| ce of Wellington's views of the great question : and we come fo grappfr? with the mind lay which the epistle was instigated. Supposing-, but by no means admitting, that the interpretation given bv Roman Catholics to the Duke of Wellingtons letter were correct, does it not amount to this ? We begin . to. feel, say they, that the Premier neither does^, hor ever did entertain feelings of hostility towards, us. Hay^ we not his Grace's own assurances that he wishes our question set tied, so as to ensure t he peace and prosperity of all? No, no, says the Marquess of An- glesey, in his; ronvUiut: ng letter. Believe not what his Srace says. If he really wished the question car- ried, he of all men has the greatest facility for car- rying it into effect." You imagine he is favourable to the measure*^/ derive some consolation from ob- serving that his Grace is not wholly adverse to ita sentiment; his Lordship might have added*- which the communications of the last three weeks led me to sup- pose. But, proceeds his Lordship, the Duke of Wel- lington is governed by anger, and must be propitiated. Fray, avoid all personal or offer sire language towards him. ( Personal or offensive language towards the. Luke of Wellington •) Only consider " the difficulties of his situation !"— And what are those difficulties ? • Why, Roman Catholics, continues Lord Anglesey, do you not know that bis Grace has to contend against three classes, into which 1 divide the Protestants of the British Empire. The first, those guided by very strong prejudices ; the second, those influenced by interested motives, and amongst those the Duke him- self, as in my second classification 1 include " persons possessing the highest influence;" and the third, those who have real alarms, but who, in point of fact, arc nothing but mere u ignorant. Protestants!"— Attend not, says his Excellency, to the advice given you by the First Lord of the Treasury, to bury the question for a short period in " oblivion." Agitate, by all means agitate! Let the measure be not for a mo- ment lost sight of. Why should you confine yourselves, to measures for its advancement being strictly " legal/" If they be.' » > const itutionaV it is enough for your purpose- and ilpen remember your « brute force f but be sure not to use it !'. It was quite time that Lord Anglesey should be re- called ; for there must have been some such stuff' as that contained in the following epistle in his thoughts long before, in an evil hour for himself, he committed them to paper;-— " Phcenix Park, Dec. 23, 1828. " MOST REVEREND SIR,— 1 hasten to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your letter of the 22d, covering that which you re- ceived from the Duke of Wellington, of the. lltli iust. together With a copy of your answer to' it. " 1 thaiiS you for the confidence you have reposed in me. " Your le. tter gives me information upon a subject of the highest interest. I did not know the precise sentiments of the l> uke of Wellington upon the present state of the Catholic Question. " Knowing it, 1 shall venture to offer my opinion upon the course that it behoves the Catholics. to pursue. " Perfectly convinced that the final and cordial settlement of this great question cau alone give peace, harmony, and pros- Iierity to. all classes of his Majesty's subjects in this kingdom, must acknowledge mv disappointment: on learning. that, there if no. p nig pert of its being ed'ecied during the ensuing Session of Parliament. I, however, derive some consolation from ob- serving that his Grace is not wholly adverse to the measure; for, if. be . can be induced to promote it., he, of all men, will have tin' greatest facility in. carrying it into. effect. If I arvy^ rreet in this opinion, it is obviously most im- London, Tuesday Morning, Janvdry 0, 18* 2$.

A correspondent informs us, that he picked up a luminous oentiped worm, in October last, which gave out a much light as the common glow- worm: its colour wa reddish brown, an inch and quarter in length, and about one eiyhteenth part of an inch in diameter. A drawing was taken of it; and the worm itself is preserved in a mixture of water and spirits of wine. Not having been . able to obtain any satisfactory account of this worm, it is sought through the medium of the Salopian Journal. The worm d' having been wounded a few hours after it was found. Those who have attributed the present compara- tive calm in Ireland to the energy of the Irish Go- vernment, will now be impelled to form a more correct judgment: qnd they will say with us, that the form- ation of Brunswick Clubs and the general exhibition of Protestant feeling: have been the real cause that has produced this effect. The recall of the Marquis of Anglesey, and the letter of that nobleujan to, Dr. Curtis, as to which some remarks will be found iu another place, will, we trust, be a warning to future Siatesmen of the folly of political coquetry. The Marquis of Anglesey no longer exists as a rolitical character! The timely exposure of the double- dealing of an Irish Viceroy, contrasted as = it is with the firmness and decision of the Head of the Adminis- tration, will, it is devoutly to be hoped, convince the Protestants of the Empire how they ought to act. in the present emergency— in a crisis, in which it is evident that no confidence can be placed but in indi- vidual foresight and in individual exertion. Every man that feels he has a part in the Constitution, must now see that it behoves him on all occasions manfully fo support that Constitution ; and it is therefore with pleasure we advert to the exertions that have been made and are making in this County and in the Principality—- to the proceedings in Carnarvonshire and in Montgomeryshire, at Much Weniock, & c. as recorded in our present Journal, and to the approach- ing meeting of the members of the Shropshire Bruns- wick Club, which will comprise a'distinguished portion of the Protestant gentry and strength of this county. We are also glad to see that the counties of Devon, • Suffolk,.& c. &. c. are commencing the work of active co- operation. 5 \ The Birth of a Son and Heir fo the noble House of Trentham has given rise to more heartfelt and enthusiastic expressions of joy than has enlivened the. country for some time; with nioomfield may be said •• '• (,£ uick spread tlie news through hamlet, field, and farr^ .

The requisition had the signatures of 240 freeholders attached, and with such a weight, the High. Sheriff in the most gentlemanly manner, immediately acceded to its prayer, and appointed Friday, the 16th of January, at the Castle of Exeter, for that purpose That it will be a meeting as imposing in point of attendant numbers, as interesting from the momentous subject to be discussed, all seem to allow. That the Protestant freeholders of Devon will do their duty on this occasion, and strengthen fhe resolves, of a firm Administ. ratiotty u: e cannot doubt- The pro- Catholics have been very actively em- ployed for the last three weeks in riding about the eastern part. of the county to obtain subscribers for a petition to parliament in favour of Roman Catholic emancipation ; but with all their endeavours, success did not attend their exertions— in fact, the attempt has entirely failed; the repulse has come more keenly I from the Whigs, some of whom in plain terms told the applicants that no true Whig could give his counte- nance to such a measure. This repulse has, we know, been keenly felt by the enemies of our envied con- stitution. On the other side of the question, we have the best authority to believe, and even to assert, that measures are taking for a petition to parliament from the county at large, and likewise one from the clergy of the archdeaconry of Sud bury , against what is called emancipation : the former supported by the leading noblemen and gentlemen of the county, a list of whose names we have seen .-— Suffolk IJerald. Last week, a poor weaver in Manchester, named David Lindsay, residing in a small count off Giles- street, Ancoatsrlane, fell heir to an estate of about £. 300,000, by the decease of an uncle, Colonel; Lind- say, of the Mount, near Cupar, Tife, in Scotland. When the letter arrived, announ< ing this windfall to David, and enclosing £ 150 to defray the expenses of his journey with his wife and three children to his country, seat, he was sitting at his breakfast of butterless bread and sugarless coffee. The demand of the postman, 4s. 9d. completely stunned David, for his whole stock in his coffers, alias his breeches pocket* was 2s- The letter would have been returned to the post- office but fftr the arrival of a neighbour, who volunteered, after feeling that the letter con- tained " summut," to assist David in raising the wind. On Saturday he set out on his journey to the north, and doubtless by this time David Lindsay, of Giles- court, Ancoats lane, weaver,, has altered his desig- nation to David Lindsay, Esq. of Mount, near Cupar, , pi fp.— rMav Chester Pap er It would appear, from statements circulated in some of tile Papers, that the embarrassments, and consequent frauds, of Stephenson, the banker, had their origin in that . prolific source of crime ami misery— Gambling— to which, it would appear, he was much addicted. The first number of this work has reached our hands; and when we say we have been delighted witii its coptents, we express very feebly our admiration of the several excellent articles which adorn its pages, and to which no cohjpliment of ours ran < l « adequate justicethey must be. read to be duly appreciated ;- One of the papers is a verv ingenious disquisition on ' be situation of the Roman station, MEIXIOLANUM. The writer brings manv judicious arguments to shew that SHREWSBURY was the Metfiolanitm of the Romans; and he is of opinion that RUYTON OF THE F. LEVEN TOWNS was the Jiutvnium of that warlike nation, fn his conjecture as to Ru( tin turn, although it is in contradiction to the opinions of former writers, we unequivocally concur, and we could point out some reasons for this opinion which are not adverted to by the correspond- ent of the Cambrian Quartet iy. Willi regard to Mediolanum, giving him the highest credit for his ingenious research, we doubt the fact of Shrewsbury having been that celebrated station: at the same time we'think his paper on the subject oue that everv auliquariah should peruse.— It might not be out of place'for us here to observe, that MIDDLE, in this countv, has been, in some writings, Latinized bv the word Mediohtnum : it is, too, almost on the direct route from WROXETEU ( Urico ilium J to CHESTER fiievaj; it is also on one of the then principal branches of the Gwyddeliun ( Irish) or WutHmt Street Road, as R. OYTON C Uvlunium J is on anolher ; both ItUYTON and MIUDLE are likewise situated on or adjacent to the ancient roads from Wales to the southern parts'of Cheshire, to'Staffordshire, & e. bv which the Gitrydd el'ian Roads iu Shropshire were intersected: both places are out of the reach of interruption bv the floods of the Severn ; both were well situated for mutual co operation against irruption on the part of the Ancient Britons, against whom they were frontier stations, holding command oyer the most feasible country by which an attack could then he made: on their left was the oft- tlooded Severn; in front and to their right vvas a chain of morasses, most part of which are now reclaimed, but which then extended, with few intermediate passes, from near Ruyton to the southern border of Cheshire: MIDDLE and RUYTON would thus form the best, points of defence against any sudden incursions of the Ancient Hrifom ;. and it is well kno. vvn that both these places Were fiW- tifiei for this purpose in the early ages of the Norman dynasty.- - The difficulty as to MI DOLE being the Mediolanvm of the Romans, arises from the distances set out in the Iters; the Iters are, however, all confused as to this station: we therefore trust the point will be further discussed by some of the abie corre- spondents of the Cambrian Quarterly.

LORD LIVERPOOL— A paragraph has been circu- lated through the newspapers, stating that Lord Liverpool's property amounts to about seven hun- dred thousand pounds ; and insinuating that this large sum was, in a great part, derived from bis official profits. It would be a singular tiling indeed that such should be the case, when we consider the scanty salaries ( as compared with the expense which custom and society impose upon them) prudently allowed to our public men. The fact is, that Lord Liverpool has left behind him £ 130,000, £ 101), 000 of which was bequeathed him by his father. Thirty thousand pounds is, therefore, the result of more than thirty, years' public life, and fifteen years' premier ship. To the honour of the Duke of Wellington it must be told, Unit he has accepted the wardenship of the Cinque Ports merely that he might give Walmer Castle ( the only advantage of the- situation, as the salary has been abolished,) to the Dowager Countess of Liverpool ( luring his Grace's life.— Standard. Saturday last was a busy day at Keith and Fochabers.— His Grace the Duke of Gordon having arranged to discharge the debts and incumbrances on his estate from the sum of £ 400,000, ( obtained on loan from the Bank,) of which statements lately appeared ill the papers, Saturday was appointed for paying tbe different sums ut the above place. Rumours of Henry Saun'riers, the bank swindler ( who is almost as urttoiibus a character as Jonathan Wild), being with his gang in the north, rendered our countrymen doubly cautious 5 and almost every man who bad- money, to receive came attended by a strong body guard. One man who lilted £ 220 took with him from Fochabers to Elgin a party of six men, duly armed with dirks, sticks, and pistols! It was amusing enough to see tbe parties move otf iu order, the " rich man" in the centre, encompassed by bis valorous attendants, like a deserter under a military escort.— Glasgow Chronicle.

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 vet offered to tbe Public at considerably higher Prices.— The great Advantage we possess, from the Extent of < ur Purchases, of making our Selection from the Stock of the East India Company, and personally attending fhe Sales ( when we invariably reject a! i damaged Lots), enables us to otFer genuine sound Teas, at full One Shilling to Eighteen Pence per Pound lower than any other House in the Trade. We need only appeal to your own Judgment, in Confirm- ation of our Assertion. For Example, in every Break of Teas there are a considerable Number of damaged Lots, which are invariably bought by the London Wholesale Dealers, within a Penny per Pound of fhe Price of the sound Lots: now, as no Retailer would know ingly purchase a damaged'Chest of Tea, what are they to do with all they buy ? The Question answers itself ^ of course they must mix it w ith || ie better Lots, which they furnish to their Country Customers, to whom- they probably give Three r Mouths'. Credit — a Risk, to cover which they must lav 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 respectfully solicit to make an early Trial of present Stock, satisfied that only is wanting to eiieur their constant Favours; tire ve# ry flattering Encou- ragement we have received since our Commencement in Business being the best Evidence we can offer that* our Endeavours to give Saiisfiiclioh have not been unsuccessful.

British Constit utiou That your Petitioners believe that Protestantism is an essential part of the British Constituiion, as evinced by the exclusion of the Stuart Dynasty from the . Throne of these Realms, w h ch Constitution your Petitioners consider would be endangered hy the ' slightest concession of Power lo the Roman Catholics That your Petitioners therefore humbly, but most earnestly pray, that no further privileges nvay be granted lo the Roman Catholics, with or without SceurititSi & i\ ••.&€.•• That Meetings of the Club be called by public Notice; whenever the Committee shall be of opinion that such a measure may be conducive to the support of the Protestant Ascendancy.

Posterity will do justice to the memory, and duly appreciate the splendid talents, of this highly gifted nobleman, and sincere protestant. He stood at the ight hand of our late venerable monarch, when scru- pulous upon the effect of the coronation oath, and MONTGOMERYSHIRE CAVALRY. Presentation of a Piece of Plate to Colonel the Right Hon. C. \ V. IV. Wynn. [ A Correspondent has favoured us with the following more detailed account of this interesting proceeding.] On Tuesday, the 23d of December, a numerous gnd most highly respectable meeting was held in the Guildhall, Welshpool, for ( he purpose of presenting ai Piece of Plate to Coionel the Right Hon. C. W. W. \ Vynn, by the Otticers, Non- commissioned Officers, and Privates of the late Montgomeryshire Cavalry. Major WILLIAM ES, in presenting the Plate, pro- ceeded to say that it was a most gratifying duty he then had to perform, in conveying to Colonel Wynn the sentiments of respect which were entertained towards him by the late Corps, and to offer him, in the name of that Corps, the Piece of Plate then before hint, as a memorial of that respect.* He complimented the Right Hon. Gentleman upon the unremitting attention lie had paid the Corps during the twenty, live years he had commanded it, and for his zeal in promoting its good order and discipline. He con- cluded by wishing hint and his family every happi- ness, and that his children and children's children may meet the same approbation that had been mani- fested to him.. The Colonel, in repIV,. said that it was with the most heartfelt gratitude he acknowledged this last w> ark of the unceasing, friendship, during nearly twenty- six years, evinced towards him by the late corps. His wishes as commander had in every respect been met most cordially, and every one had co- operated w ith him freely in furthering ( hat discipline which Major WiHian. cs had complimented him upon. His duty had been rendered a pleasure by the active assistance afforded him by his brother officers, who, he feared, had over- rated his exertions. His best reward was their approbation, and the approbation of his friends and neighbours,. He would repeat, that he should ever think with delight tipon tlie happy hours he had spent among ( hem; and that the present mark of their kindness should be landed down to his children. He said he had brought his son to witness the manner it was con- ferred, that he may teach his children to value it as a pledge— as a token of that respect which had been in so distinguished a manner shewn to his father. The Right Hop. Gent, concluded by wishing every One assembled every happiness it was possible for them to receive. At four o'clock a very large party ( Major Wil- liames in the chair) sat down to a dinner provided at the Oak Inn by Mrs. Whitehall, to whom it is scarce- ly possible sufficiently to do justice for the liberality and taste she displayed on the occasion. Every rarity the season and the kingdom could produce? were plentifully afforded.- The following, among other toasts, were enthusiastically received :— The King, God bless luui; 4 times 4. Song andchorus— Hod . sure the King.— The Duke of Clarence and the ]\' avy— Lord Hill and the Army— The Duke of Wellington. The Chairman, in proposing the health of Colonel Wynn, said, that as their Representative iu Parliament, as Colonel of the Yeomanry, or as Chairman of the- Quarter Sessions of the County, the fcentJemcM upon his right and left could better appre- ciate than he ( Major W.) could express the SM vices of ( he Right lion. Gentleman - Col. \ Vynn ; 3 tune's 3 — Lord Clivc— Sir W. W Wynn^- 1 he Members for Shrewsbury Col. Davies and the Jtoy* l Montgo- mery-& c. & c. Several excellent songs and glees were sung; and we may fairly say that more pleasant evening could not be spent : there was » the feast of wit and flow of soul;"— all was harmony and good- humour, which was kept up till a late hour. * THE FOLLOWING IS TIIE INSCRIPTION PRESFCNTIID by the Officer," v Non- Commissioned Officers, and Privates of the MONTGOMERYSHIRE YEOMANRY CAVALRY " To Colonel the Right Honourable CHARLES WATKIN WILLI AYS WYNN, M.

AN UNPARALLELED FOX CHASE.— As the hounds of Evan Synnnons, Lsq. of Lantwit Major, in this county, were trying for a hare in a cover in Castle- town farm, in the Parish of St. Athan's, they unken- nelled a fine fox. Reynard soon broke cover, and iu gallant style challenged ( he mcrrv pack over the open plain towards J; lemingstone, St Mary, Lanniy- hengel, and Landough Castle ; then turned to the left, and passed by the villages of Lanhh thian and Ltsworny, and entered the parish of Colwinsfone; passed the front of Pwllywrach House, and crossed the mam road on the Golden Mile for Bros^ abtle farm, and entered a cottager^ house, where the busy wife and her children were preparing their dinner; but finding no reception there, and his unrelenting pursuers close on his brush, he renewed his speed with redoubled energy for Langan, St. Mary Hill, and skir mg that cover, entered the parish of Lanlnlid, and wa killed by Trallwn House, after a most arduous hard run without a cheek through twelve GR'CCIETH MEETING. The best means had been taken to give proper publicity to the intentions of, the worthy gentlemen with whom this meeting originated and notwith- standing a secret influence had been exercised to prevent a numerous attendance, by a few indi- viduals who dared not openly avow the feeling of opposition they entertained ( o the measures likely to be proposed, the Criccieth meeJing to petition the kiiig and both houses of parliament against granting concessions to the Roman catholics, was undoubtedly one of the most respectable ever attend cd for the purpose of recording.— This was the first visit of Mr Orinsby Gore to the ancient borough of which he is the mayor, and his enthusiastic reception from all classes of the inhabitants must have been highly gratifying to his feelings. He arrived at Tiemadoc, from his seat, Pot Winston, near Oswestry, at an early hour on Monday morn- ing, the 29th of December, and on his entrance to the town was- met by an immense concourse of true- hearted Y\ elshmen, both horse and foot, who opened their ranks to allow his carriage to pass, aud then, closing, accompanied him to Criccieth. On the summit of the highest tower of the romantic castle at this place, the Standard of England waved, and the British ensign was placed over the front door of almost every respectable house in the neighbour- hood. All hearts seemed to be inspired wilh a proud consciousness of the importance of the cause in which they had enlisted— the firing of guns, the hustle and activity observable, and the cheers which every now and then re- echoed to Ihe rocks on the ocean shore, betokened the justice of the assumption. Company begun to arrive from every quarter of the neighbourhood about ten o'clock, ai. d continued pouring iu till nearly twelve, precisely at which hour the orange flag was seen at a distance, peeping over the hills, und in a few minutes the carriage of Mr. Gore ( from which the horses had been rcnK ved) containing himself and son, was- drawn into the town by a number of the respectable yeomanry, followed by the gen( ry on horseback. I he concourse of people at this'time was so great that it wi. s deemed expedient to hold the meeting in the open air in imitation of that at Peuetideu Heath, and carts were stationed in a line at the bottom of a gentle declivity in front of the inn called ( he Slag aud Hand. Among the company present at this time, were observed the following gentlemen :— Win. Orntsby Gore, Esq.^ Owen Jones Ellis Nauney, Esq. of Gwvufryn; Co I out I Parry, of Madryn ; lie?. John Kyifin, of Bryn- hir James Spooner, Esq. of Trcmadoc ; Cyril Williams, Esq.; Major Pilking- tou; Samuel Priestly, Esq, of Trefan ; Rev. R. Roberts, of. Hendry Rev. G.

Tenia doc; Mr. Morris. J- ones, of Cefn Iwrch ; Mr O. Griffith, of Cefn Coch ; Mr. O. Jones, of Plas Ucha; T Hughes, Esq. of Pwllheli; Mr. William!, of Bry. ii Cethin-. On the motion of COLONEL PARRY, seconded by OWI; N JONES ELLIS JNANNEY, Esq. WM. ORMSBY GORE, Esq. was unanimously called to the chair, and addressed the meeting as follows: — Previous to going into the important business for which we are assembled here this day, allow me, my friends and brother burgesses, to congratulate you upon the very determined manner in which you have given your attendance here, to express your opinions upon a most serious, and 1 may say, 111011 eijtous question— a question which is not only calculated to affect us most materially, but also those whom we may hereafter leave behind us. ' Fhe catholics of Ireland look beyond our lives for the effect of their seditious proceedings. They will affect not only 0111 immediate interests, but the inerests of our descendants, the interests of our children's children; aud it becomes our duty while we exist to protect them. We have ne. V- er felt in our days the full extent of the intolerant spirit of papistacy. Papacy would never be satisfied with- out supremacy. Persons may speak of their advocacy of catholic emancipation as friends to civil and religious liberty ; but we prove ourselves be the true friends ot civil and religious liberty in opposing Catholic Emancipation. The pro- testant religion is most lenient, for every man is e from injury, and allowed to worship the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience; the catholic religion is exactly opposite, and there- fore most intolerant. [ Mr. Ormsby Gore here alluded to a passage in Blackstone, iu corroboration of his assertion.] Really, this would seem as if I intended to inflict a speech upon yow, but I assure you, when I stepped into this chair, nothing was further from my thoughts ; I may be carried away by the feeling resulting from the very flattering manner in which 1 have been received by you this day, and which 1 can only attribute to the great cause for the consideration of which we are assembled. When 1 look around me, aud see the flag flying on the summit of that tower, it reminds me of the blessings this country now enjoys from its union with England, and its strictly protestant government, and 1 almost shudder when I reflect ou the cruelties which may result. from any admission of Roman catholics to a further participation of power in ( hat government than they al present enjoy. They now enjoy as,, much power as is consistent with our safety. The relief which they have had was at first solicited iu a humble and civil manner as. a. boon ; now, what is their- conduct? They comevin a most intemperate style, and demand the entire repeal of the penal laws— threatening, aud attempting to intimidate ( he government, and,, in violent language, spurning every relief encum- bered, as trliey call it, with securities. Mr. O'Cou- nell,. ihe most violent of all the Irish demagogues, who was lately returned by the catholic priesthood and the ignorant rabble constituting the forty shilling freeholders for the county of Clare, has declared that he would lose his blood in the field, or his head upon the scatlold, before be would sub- mit to emancipation qualified by the disfranchise- ment of the forty shilling freeholders ys a security. | f'emancipation weie granted, there would be a( least one hundred catholic members returned to parliament from Ireland aud England, as they were now collecting the catholic rent for the pur- pose of purchasing boroughs. Fancy One hundred members sticking together for the interests of the catholic - religion, and being always at their post for the purpose of obtaining for ( hat religion supreme powei; apd ascendancy, w hich we all know is what they principally ain. i at. We should petition agaimt emancipation, either with or without securities—' securities being only temporary ex- pedients In the evenl of a weak monarch, which thank God we have not now, wielding the sceptre of these realms, or a queen forming a foreign alliance, what w ould become of the securities while the parliament had the power to annul them; the one hundred members 1 have spoken of, always having that object iu view. Shall yve then risk the constitution of ' Great Britain to satisfy temporary expediency? Wales was the last part of Great Britain that submitted to catholic infringements, and the first to embrace the principles of the reformation. Wales is now the strongest hold of protestantism in his majesty's dominions- r- lreland the weakest in numerical strength. They look up to protectant England— and more especially to protestatit W'aks^ to assist and rescue them from papistical domination, and therefore let its nobly and effectually answer the expectations, they have formed of us. The objects of this meeting are of a two- fold nature; first, to petition, the king, lords, and commons iu ( heir behalf; second, to convince them that we are sincere iu their cause, by the establishment of a Brunswick Club. I will only trouble you with the first of these at present; and shall be happy to hear any gentleman who has any thing to advance upon the stibj ct. OWEN JOINES ELLIS ISANNLY, Esq. Raid,— No person of this numerous and highly respectable meeting can be prouder than myself to witness so decided a display of protestant feeling as that Which has been this day exhibited. It is an evident proof of your loyalty that you have attended ( his meeting. You could not prove your allegiance to our beloved monarch and your adherence to the institutions of the establishment in a better or more grateful manner. We are all cotne here fully prepared to discuss the important matter 1 which has called us together; but 1 ahull not detain you with any observation upon it,.- for all that 1 t could wish to say, or you ( o hear, has been already ably advanced by my respected friend Mr. Gore. In proposing that the petitions I now hold in my hands be adopted, I do not anticipate that there will be a dissenting voice. SAMI/ I L PRIESTLEY, Esq. felt great pleasure in seconding the motion, from his perfect knowledge of the uncompromising protestaut feelings in- fluencing every individual present. The address and petitions which will be found in another column of our paper were read'ao$ carried unanimously. COLONEL PARR Y, in seconding the motioil respect- ing the presentation of ( he petitions, said:— It is not mecessary for rne to say one- word upou the subject as to which we have- met' together* after the able manner in w hich our val- uable chairman explained the business of the day.- Yet I am emboldened to trespass upon your patience for a very short time,- by the spirit you have exhibited incoming forward to assist our Irish Protestaut fellow subjects,, and ( he unanimity you have displayed. I perfectly agree with the propriety of entrusting the petition against the claims to Ihe house of lords, to the venerable forvriird iu support of the protestant institutions of the country; and THOMAS ASSHETON SMITH, Esq.. of Vaenol's health was received with enthusiastic cheers, which the decidcd position taken by him respecting the catholic claims, on a recent occasion, iu no small degree contributed - to raise. The com- pany separated highly gratified with the proceed- ings of the day; the worthy chairman, on quitting the room, observing that he thought they, had suf- ficiently proved the falsity of the assertion made by the enemies of the protestant cause, that the Bruns- wickers met for the purpose only to eat and drink, and to seek blood. 1( is- calculated that three hundred persons dined on ( he occasion, in different rooms of the housemand iu a large tenf erected at the hask.- On the evening of Eriday, the 2.6. th ult. a numerous and most respeclable meeting of the Burgesses and other inhabitants of Pwllheli was held in the Town Hall of that Borough, the High Bailiff, Cyril Williams, Esq in the chair; wlfeii an Address to the King and Petitions to both Houses of Parlia- ment, against the abrogation of any of the existing statutes touching Roman GatJiolics,. were unani- mously agreed to. MR. DANSEY'S HOUNDS. [ FROM THE SPORTING MAGAZIN- E.]^ The very quiet little town of Ledbury has been en livened the last two days by the arrival of Mr. with his advice, aud that of another- noble individual, i Dartsey ( the Master of the Herefordshire Fox- Hounds) wilh whom 1 have the honour of being acquainted, j asod a considerable number of gentlemen, who accoin- firmly and strenuously resisted whatever tended to j panied him to hUnt with the Worcestershire hounds endanger the coiiatifcuiion. I would also take the 1 on Monday, when they had an excellent day's sport, liberty of referring to another individual who is well j and killed two foxes. A party composed of gentle known to all of you, by the benefits hebas conferred men of both Hunts returned to tiie Feathers Inn, pon society in the ameUoratiott of the criminal laws, j where they dined together, and spent an agreeable I alliide to that upright nuin of whom Doct' r Jackson 1 evening, anticipating another fine day's sport on ( the worthy preceptor of our present king) observed j Tuesday, as on that day Mr. Dansey's crack pack to me at Brynhir, in speaking of his talents aud in- j were to throw off at the Frith Wood belonging to tegrity, that if he hud the choice of a sou, according ; Earl Sonters, a favourite ibx covert, and the eastern to his own heart, that sou should be Robert Peel ; j boundary of the Hun, t. to whose care 1 am happy to say, it has been moved J They did throw off before a most, respectable field, the address to the king and the petition to the house ' and found in five minutes, running through the Frith of commons should be entrusted. In speaking of'; Wood, the park and plantations of E. M. Barratt. the subject of our meeting, it is not necessary for • Esq. and the coverts of James Martin, Esq. of Old me to go back to the days ot King Alfred, or even to Colwall, when it was discovered the hounds were those of Cardiual WblseY. Let us comedown to ( he ; hunting a drag, which had been taken through the present period. It happened to myselfabout twenty j woods and plantations by persons connected with the POLITICAL RETROSPECT. [ JV- om the Morning Journal.] At this period last year the Goderich Cabinet, like a disabled hulk, deserted even by the rats, floated scarcely visible upon the waters of the political world. It existed like the toad in the tree— torpid, motionless, and apparently lifeless.. Among unprincipled men there can be no confidence. Where each views the other with distrust— where the motives of all are merely personal— where the intrepid have no power, and the most powerful are feeble — where the leader1 is in tears, and the subordinates are stimulated by jealousy and spleonxr- the only wise measure which such a ministry can resort to— is to put an end to its existence. This glimmering of common sense at last reached the Goderich Cabinet, to the great joy of the nation, and it perished by its own hands on an early day in last January. Twelve months ago the war between Russia and Turkey had not commenced, but the principles which animated the British Government at that period, and which led to the outrage of Navarin and the war which we have now reason to deplore, are, thank Heaven, exploded. So far, therefore, our condition is less hopeless. The measures which were fast hurry- ing us into a state of national insolvency were then in full career. Had the Goderich Ministry held together much longer the consequences, would have been ine^- vitable and destructive— wc should have been at war in the two extremities of Europe - keeping down Portugal with the bayonet; and contending with Russia, and in opposition to Austria, for the conquest of Turkey. Ireland would have been in rebellion— the Protestants of that country would have been sacrificed— and universal discontent and. depressioa-- would have prevailed at home. Bad as our situation, is at present it would have been a hundred times worse had ( he liberals remained in power. The panic, which years ago, that in parliament I had an opportunity J of giving a vote as respects this very question. At that time my heart, iu the prime of youth and man* hood, constantly leaned to that good humoured, kind- hearted, and brave nation, . the Irish ; but as I thought myself not exactly capable of judging 011 so great a question, I took the advice of Dr. Jackson and another- friend, and gave my vote against it. This I feel satisfied I shall never repent; but ou the contrary, 1 am proud of the act. There are persons who advocate quiet as respects the claims of the catholics, and say that it is not necessary to agi( ate the matter in this peaceable part of Britain, but when we see the discredit attempted to be thrown upon every thing good and great in our constitution ; when it is pronounced to be a crime of the darkest hue not to petition from every parish in Ireland,^ aud necessary, to sal vat ion to do so ; ough t we not to bring our opinion forward to the foot of the throne and the legislature? It may be said that I do not reside here; but 1 have many dear friends in the neighbourhood, whose welfare is as- valuable to 111 e- as my own ; , aud I shall upon all occasions like the present, feel pleasure iu meeting the gentry and yeomanry of the district of Eifionydd,. than whom none can be more respectable.-. l am proud to see so many of the clergy here, though taunts have been throwu out agaiust- lhe archbishops- and bishops for their intolerance., I bear testimony to the tolerance of ( he church of England. It was said by Mr. John Elias, a dissenting minister, who is well known to all the inhabitants of Wales, that nowhere could there be a more liberal, enlightened, and learned body than the clergy of the church of England.— Col. Parry ( hen expressed his gratification at finding that hereditary prejudices were fast giving way, and that the whole protestant community were daily strengthening the bond3 of amity which held them together. The Rev; Mr. JONES, ofTremadoc, a dissenting minister, then addressed the meeting in the Welsh language, and complimented the assembled persons on the activity, energy, and zeal displayed ill, sup- port of the ascendancy, of the protest a lU reijgion,. by. their worthy chairman, gentry, clergy, & yeomanry. The cause was the greatest that could take place in our day. If the catholics were not kept under, they would put dowti the protestauts, aud it was every man's duty, manfully and fearlessly,, to join heart and hand in the grand cause that produced that meeting. The reverend gentleman, in a powerful strain of eloquence,, pointed out the benefits enjoyed under our present protestaut government, and em- phatically stated, that the Welsh and other protest- auts did not oppose catholic emancipation upon reli- gious, but poli( ical grounds. When ( he catholics had ascendancy, they proved themselves the most cruel persecutors of all who differed with them. The object of the priests w as to keep their- flocks in ignorance, so as to be subservient to them in politi- cal intrigues, at the instigation of designing dema- gogues. Protestant judges maintain that the foun- dation of the English law is the bible. The pope denies it. Let us put our power forth in support of the constitution as by law established at the glorious revolution of 1688. JOHN HUGHES, Esq. of Pwllheli, did not intend to speak when he came at first to the meeting, as he had an opportunity of delivering his opinions at a meeting of a similar description, in his own town, a day or two previously. He was happy to find such sentiments prevailing throughout Wales, as he had heard accorded with that day; and hoped they would long continue to pyevail. He had 110 objec tiou to grant emancipation from any personal or re- ligious motives, but because the catholics held opi- nions, relative to the dispensing with oaths, which he could not subscribe to. They had heard, read, and seen the good feeling that had always been she\ yn to the distressed catholic population of France, Spain, and Portugal, by the people of England and Wales,, who felt every inclination to assist the pea- santry of Ireland ; not, however, with emancipation, £ Hi0CcUcmco\! 6 EntcUigencc* 00 THE CATHOLIC QUESTION. - [ By a Correspondent of Blacku • ooa^ s Magazir. e.]— I, Sir, will not believe that the Duke of Wellington is suddenly so fantastic as to think of carrying the Popish question. A man whose sagacity has been hitherto so little at fault, cannot be blind to what all the world beside see as plain as the sun at noon. He knows that the question cannot be carried ; that it would overthrow ten Ministries ; that there are thousands, and hundreds of thousands, of high- principled an4 loyal- hearted men within the borders of this realm, who would meet the most stern extremities before a Papist foot should pollute the floor of Parliament; and, knowing all this, the Duke of Welliugton will honour and obey the command of his country. But his measures must not he confined to negociation; he must do more than tell the Jlrish and Flnglish vassals of the Pope, that they cannot be suffered to betray the British empire to their Italian master and his allies He must extinguish their means of disturbance by the activity and courage that belong to his character.'* There was lately cast at the Soho Foundry, at Ancoats, a metal cylinder, in comparison with which the celebrated " Mons Meg," of Edinburgh Castle, and " Roaring Meg," of Derry, must hide their diminished heads The diameter inside, when bored, is 6, feet 8 inches, its length is 9 feet 6 inches, and its weight Q, tons It) cwts. 2 qrs. and 111b. So perfect was the casting that, notwithstanding its prodigious size, not a single blemish appeared in it when bored. The boring occupied 34 days, during 32 of which the boring mill was worked incessantly night and day. The cylinder is intended to be used for blowing " a blastfurnace in Scotland.— Manchester Mercury. ABSENCE OF MIND —— A short time since, a gentleman in this town, who had paid his friend a large sum of money, observed him, whilst engaged in we onlv dread, would already have taken , . - x , ... ,, . . place. The manufacturers, instead of shaking hands I lmlw^ mt conversation, biting small bits of paper been i„ it* rU^ rA ollt of 51 P1POe w, llch » e had in his hand. On asking Colwall harriers. Who they were is known: what they are, I leave each reader to form his own con- clusion— they certainly were neither sportsmen nor gentlemen who had any thing to do with it. On- an eminence, near some large fir trees, the cheat was first discovered— a fine spot for more lofty ideas. Had fhe party been there " exalted twenty cubits above their fellow," none would have regretted seeing them dance light, in air. Independently of such unmanly conduct towardj gentleman who keeps and mans his, bounds at so heavy an expense for the amusement of the county, and the disappointment created to so large a field of gentlemen then assembled, it throws a stigma on the neighbourhood; and was taking a most wanton liberty with those gentlemen whose lands were polluted by their footsteps. No one can for a moment suppose that such conduct could be sanctioned by either of those gentlemen— they are too well known to have ever been the close pursuers of honourable field sports. It is to be regretted that obstacles should be thrown in the way to prevent gentlemen indulging in the amusement of fox hunting, particularly in a favourite country, w here " of old" none existed : but such is the fact. The last time this pack threw off at Wall Hills,- the earths- were opened by a person calling himself a gamekeeper, who had been; appointed by a gentleman who has neither manor nor estate in the county, nor can the manor be defined , that he is ap- pointed for. After leaving the Ledbury coverts, ' Mk- Dansey took his hounds to Canon Froom Woods, where they immediately found, and went off in fine style at such apace that required the strength and speed of an Eclipse to keep in with them— thus finishing; the day* with a most brilliant run, and thereby compensating for the disappointment of the morning. T hope the conduct of those drag- men will be treated in a way that all such dishonourable, and unmanly, conduct deserves. DEC. 17, 1828. THE KI& G'S PALACES. Of ail monarclis, our excellent King is certainly the most unlucky in his places of residence. With five or six palaces, he has not. at. this moment one in which he can hide his head. . St. . lames's, once a solid, comfortable, old mansion, in which his royal father contrived to pass many a pleasant day, and give his loving subjects many a pleasant entertainment, is one half ruin, and the other half turned into a cold suite of heavy halls, where eternal solitude and silence reign, rooms fit for nothing but laying illustrious bodies in state, or the less dreary ceremonial . of a yearly levee, Buckingham House, once, like its- neighbour, a comfortable mansion, where the old king spent many a pleasant day too, and lived among his lords anil ladies, is down to Ihe ground, and superseded by the veiy worst building of the kind on the habitable globe. But even this fine affair has not a spot in which anybody can eat, drink, or sleep ; and half a generation may pass away before it will be pulled down again. As to being eilher handsome or healthy, the question has been perfectly settled ; and we hope that, w hile Hie Majesty can have a bed at the Hum- mums for five shillings a night, he will not be careless enough of bis rheumatism, or of his character as a man of taste, ever lo take a bed in the Nash Palace. liew Palace, at no time a great favourite of ours, but still capable of being dwelt in, and convenient for a royal residence by its vicinity to ministers, ( who regularly lose a whole day by a journey to Windsor,) is now the palace of the " Winter wild," anil we question whether a bat or an owl that has any notions of comfort, would think of roosting there. Kew is a ruin. Windsor Castle is, up to this hour, whal it has been these six years, a mass of dust, mortar, Komau cement, and Irish bricklayers. Even the appendix to i Sir. Wyatt's name has nut wrought the miraple of ation, j giving Uis Majesty one closet in which he may drink which would do Ihem little or no good, and us a ; a cup of coffee in security. Cphplsterets, smiths, great deal of harm: but with the bible, and other ; carvers, and gilders, usurp the regal tenement, aud good books, w hich would have a different effect, and I the balls of the illustrious progenitors of the Urun-- still frightened from their propriety by the relieve them from their present degraded aud priest- ridden situation. Things could not much longer go onasthey weregoing. The Irish orators wei e con- stantly inciting the population to sedition and tu- mult. lie implored therefore every one to come forward und petition government to put an cud to their law less proceedings, without delay. The address and petitions were then opened for signature, and iu less than a couple of hours each received upwards of three hundred names. The gentlemen whospokeupon thi- occasion were much applauded throughout, and received the thanks of all present. THE BRUNSWICK CLUB. Mr. ORMIBY GORF. subsequently addressed the meeting, relative to the second part of the duly they bad imposed upon themselves, viz. the formation of a Brunswick Club for that part of the county ol Carnarvon. As the objects of those establishments did not seem to be perfectly understood— he would just explain that they were intended as rallying points, iu case of danger, for all friends of the con- stitution-, that they were defensive and not oiien- • ive institutions; and that with the death of the vio- lent societies of the Koman catholics, they also would die. The resolutions, which are advertised in a pre- ceding column, were then laid before the meeting for signature, and the namesof thegentlemen w hich appear iu the advertisement, were iu a few minutes attached to them. THE DINNER. About four o'clock, upwards of sixty gentlemen sat down to a most sumptuous dinner in the large room at the inn, W. OUMSBY Goit ® , Esq president at one table, MAURICE JONES, Esq. the recorder of the borough, actingashisdeputy ; and COL. P+ RRY presiding at the other table, The usual loyal a,, d patriotic toasts were drank, and all due Ichours rendered to the advocates in parliament of Fio'es t . nt Ascendancy. The newly established Criici th Brunswick club was not passed over in silence, but the warmest wishes were expressed for its pros- perity. In the course of the evening, upou Mr. Gore's health being drank, a strong hope was expressed that both the county ofCarnarvon and the contribu- tory boroughs, would, ere long, be represented by gentlemen of his spirit, wlia would manfully con * wicks, are dragging of carts, the pushing of wheelbarrows, the clank of hammers, and the dialect of Conneiriara, Whether we should impeach the architect of the voluminous name, or lament the severity of that fate, w hich for ever prohibits the richest king of the richest kingdom from having a spot to call his own, we may pledge ourselves that there has not been a more houseless sovereign since the day when William the Conqueror slept under canvas, on the shingle of Fevensey. Long may the King live, say y/ e, and soon may he have a bouse to live in ! As to palaces, he will, never have a modern one, worth its first coat of paint; and though every capital of Europe, from Paris to Peters- burgh, puts our huge and haughty metropolis to shame, yet say we still— Long live the king, in spite of the architects. Since our writing this denunciation of Mr. Wyatt- ville, we see that the architect, doubtless acquainted with our intention, and alarmed at its rjiinous conse- quences, has actually contrived to sweep Ihe Casile causeway, and plant his Majesty in Windsor. So much for righteous terror! But the work of repair and overthrow goes on still -. and we warn Sir . leffcry Wyattville, that, unless he exert his energies for the utter exile of the brigades and squadrons of brick- layers and hodmen that still besiege the royal re- sidence, WE shall nullify his knigh-. hood.— Monthly Magazine. The Earl of Shrewsbury, in lately passing over the Alps into Italy, was robbed by the banditti who infest those mountains. Letters have Jjeen received from his Lordship, which state the fact, but without enter- ing into particulars — Letters from Borne, of the 27th November, state, that, his Lordship gave a grand dinner in the Colonna Palace, to his highness the Prince Royal of Prussia, to which the English of distinction were invited. An estate, situate at Lodeswe'. l, near Kingsbridge, in Devonshire, has, within the last few days, by the death of a person advanced in years, come into the possession of his brother. The value of the estate is estimated at £ 500, and, on examining the title deeds of the property, it appears that the estate in question was purchased about two centuries ago for the tncrmout sum of four pounds ten ShiUmgr! with poverty, would have been in its closcd embrace — and those who are struggling with their pride to maintain their independency would have been con firmed paupers, branded by the parish overseer, and sent to their graves or to the colonies, the victims of ignorance aud quackery. We are indebted to the imbecility of the Goderich Cabinet, and to the character and firmness of the Puke of Wellington, for the mitigation of these disasters. We thank the former as we thank the wind for Wowing dovtn an empty house at midnight when n > one is passing— for, as the house was doomed to fall, it might have failen through the day and killed ihe King's subjects; but the thanks that we render the latter spring from a sense of unalloyed gratitude. No man- but the Duke of Wellington could have saved us. He has saved us by his character— by the faith w hich all are willing to repose in him— by the hope and confidence which his wisdom and integrity in- spire. Not that he has materially changed, or threatened to change, the system of h s predecessors. He has rather stopped the progress of those measures than in- verted them— stemmed the tide, not turned it It was impossible, perhaps, even for the Duke of Wellington to do more. The treaties of Mr. lluskisson confined him to the Baltic by a lease of ten years. The trade with Portugal was destroyed by Mr. Canning, and by our attempts to dictate laws to an independent ally; so that, even iftl. Duke of Wellington could have in- terfered, the exasperations of the people of Portugal had reached such a height, that it might have been unsuccessful. Time may eradicate these feelings— the authors of them are now withdrawn from Portugal — the disaffected are about to embark for Brazil— and conciliatory measures, on the part of lis Majesty Don Miguel, will eventually revive that attachment to England and English commerce which has hitherto proved so beneficial to both countries. For this we are indebted to the Duke of Wellington. Portugal, at this moment, enjoys comparative tranquillity— greater tranquillity, notwithstanding all the rumours and slanders to the contrary, than ske has enjoyed for the la^ t seven years; and nothing is wanted to render this repose all that the best friends of Portugal can wish, but the cessation of injudicious measures by the English residents and the agents of the constitutional faction. For this, also, we are indebted to the Duke of Wellington. Our financial' situation has improved considerably since the formation of the Wellington Administration, and increased, confidence has been reposed in it since the expulsion of Mr. lluskisson. Not that our mone- tary system is in either a sound or an enviable state — not that it lias improved, by that contemptible expe- dient, the finance committee, If the Duke of Wel- lington be liable to any censure, it is for permitting the revenue of the country, the general credit of the coun- try, and the channels of commerce and trade, to be blockaded, and restricted, and hampered, by the ope- ration of the currency bill. It is true that this perni- cious measure has been imposed upon the nation by the nation itself. The quacks prescribed it— the phi- losophers sanctioned it- the money- dealers, the gold and silver sellers, and the stockjobbers hailed it - and it must now take its course. It must now come into operation; and, although we must all inevitably feel the bitter consequences - and these we are beginning to feel at this moment— still, while we wish it had been otherwise, we cannot altogether blame the noble duke for permitting us to etidure the experience of it. On the Catholic question we have scarce a word to throw away. It is in a better situation at present than it was this time last year. We now know what the Government intend, and we also know by the spirit displayed by the Brunswick Clubs, that we are able to defeat whatever experiment the Government may attempt in the way of concession. No man knows this better than the Duke of Wellington. Ho has confessed the fact himself. He is aware that England will not be dictated to by the Catholics. of Ireland — that the Protestants of England never will, come what may— come rebellion — come all the evils of civil war, permit a hundred, or half a hundred, Irish Catholics to sit in a British House of Commons. The condition of the manufacturing classes, but especially of the silk- weavers, demands from us a few words. We are bound to tell the Duke of Wellington that the condition of these latter artisans is con- siderably worse since bis elevation to the premiership. This probably is not his fault. These ingenious, loyal, and industrious men owe all their misfortunes, all their poverty and suffering, to the liberal system. They have been beggared, that the flaunting lady of a city stock jobber should wear a silk gown in the morning r. nd silk stockings in the evening. They have been ruined in order that the nation, as Mr. Iiuskisson avowed, should be benettfied. They havs suffered martyrdom for the qoad of their country ; and their trade and sources of living have been given to the foreigner, without any compensation being made them. Their only remedy — the remedy of the shipowners — the remedy of the forlorn and the desperate— is the stoppage of their looms, and an appeal to the country. The shipowners, who have long been pursuing an unprofitable trade, are determined, as we understand, to lay tip their ships, and turn adrift upon the country upwards of fifty thousand men, whom they have been subsisting at their ow n expense. Let the silk- weavers resort to the same expedient— let them leave their shuttle to its winter repose, and demand from thpir richer neighbours that support to which they are entitled by law, and which they cannot earn l> y their labour. This would effectually put an end to the free trade system. But let us not be misunderstood. While we con- gratulate our readt rs on the present state of the country under the administration of the Duke of Wellington, we do not mean to affirm that ours is a gratifying situation. We only say, we are thankful it is not worse— thankful it is better under the present Ministry than it would have been under the former. We are giving the discount, to despair grateful that, though we are poor, we are not all enrolled on the ledger of the select vestry. We bless GOD for the little we enjoy, and thank the Duke of Wellington that we are not worse than we expected. But what are our prospects in 1829? There is April before us— the currency bill, like a vice, screw- ing us the tighter as the hour- glass runs. Private credit is utterly destroyed, and we look around for relief, as the despairing sailor looks for land — in vain. All is cloud, and storm, and desolation, around- us. The heavens are black; the sources of credit, like the sails of a ship in a gale, are double- reefed ; and Ihe only profitable trade is confined to the rich swmuler and the nefarious trader, who lies, like a sunken rock, for the destruction of all fair and less atHiient com- petitors. The list of bankrupts must increase as April nears ; prices must fall, aud wages fall still lower; and what will be the result we leave to be divined by the Commons of England. piece winch tie had in his hand. On asking him what he w; as about, the absent man discovered that he had been engaged in the interesting occupa- tion of destroying a £ 50 note. Fortunately, the signature remained between his thumb and finger*., and with some difficulty several bits were found to compose the number, which enabled him to obtain the amount at the Bank of England — Cheltenham Chronicle. U is calculated by the celebrated astronomer, Enck'e, that the comet now moving within the solar system will at fhe expiration of two hundred aid nineteen millions of years, come in contact with our earth ; and, of course, one or the other must be destroyed. Tlie k ngth of time before this will take place renders it unnecessary for us to caution the old ladies to be prepared for the rob. The comet alluded to is the only one ever discovered whose orbit is confined within the solar system. Some astronomers ascribe the present favourable temperature of the weather to its influence. LAW or WAGF. P, S.— Opinicm.—" A wager on A horse- race is legal, provided the race which is the subject of the bet is run for t' <) or upwards, or £ 25,- depositeil by each party ; but horse- races against time on a highway, or for a stake of less value than £ 50, are illegal. A wager upon aa indifferent matter^ which has no tendency to produce any public mischief or individual inconvenience, is legal-,; but to make the wager legal the subject matter of it must be perfectly innocent, and have no tendency to impolicy or immorality. A wager b'etw- een the voters on the event of an election, or concerning the produce, of the revenue, or- tending to inconvenience or degrade the courts of justice, or concerning an abstract question of law or legal practice in which the parties have no interest, is illegal or void. A cock match, or a wager upon it, is illegal. So a wager prejudicial* to the interest or feelings of a third person, as on the sex of a person, is illegal. A wager whether an unmarried woman had had a child was held void. A wager tending to restrain marriage is void. A wager on the life of Buonaparte was held void. A person may lay a wager on his own age ; and there i* no illegality in betting a rump and a dozen.— Atlas Notes of a Lawyer., BURGLARY AT A WATCHMAKER'S.— One of the most daring and extensive burglaries was perpetrated on Saturday night, on the premises of Mr. William Loudan, No. 149, Great Surrey- street, Blackfriarx, road, opposite Christ Church, chronometer, watch, and clock- manufacturer. On Sunday morning every thing was found in confusion ; locks forced, desks broken open, and property to the amount of nearly £ 3000 had been taken away; among which were 200 gold and silver watches, of the most valuable descrip- tion, and the cash- box which was locked up in- the desk ; but fortunately the latter contained nothing but bills of exchange and other documents of no use to any person but the owner. On examining an empty house adjoining, through which they mn< t have entered, it was discovered that the robbers had regaled themselves with wine, which they had stolen from Mr. Loudan's, as several glasses and empty bottles were found.

MELANCHOLY STIIFWMECK OF A BRITISH WEST INDIAMAN.— On Friday morning, the 19th ultimo, » large brig, supposed about 250 tons, was seen ashore, about six o'clock in the morning, on a dreadful reef of rocks, a quarter of a mile to the westward of Fortelle, two miles east of Boulogne, and very shortly became a total wreck, and all hands perished ; she proves to be the William, of Liverpool, from the " West Indies, with a cargo of cotton, codec, & c. It will scarcely be credited, but it is a fact, that not the least exertion was used on the part of the French authori. tics to save the lives of the unfortunate crew and passengers, though some poor fishermen, possessing more of the milk of human kindness than the douaniers, succeeded in getting on shore a poor black fellow dreadfully exhausted and bruised, who walked, supported by these worthy fellows, some distance on shore ; they gave him a drom of brandy, and were in the humane act of taking him into their hut, when ( hey were forcibly driven away from the poor fellow at ihe point of the bayonets of the douaniers, and the w retched creature was left on the ground, exposed to the cold and wind, and in a few hours afterwards found dead ! !! In the coursc of the afternoon several bodies floated along shore, but fhe authorities positively refused fo allow any one to pick them up, and on the ebbing of the tide they washed to sea again. The inhuman conduct of those whose duty it is to protect the lives and property of the shipwrecked, has caused a feeling of disgust in the minds of the English, and better classes of French, in Boulogne. The reason assigned by the douaniers fop their barbarous conduct on this melancholy occasion is, that they were apprehensive the vessel was from an unhealthy port; but if this had been the case, surely more was to be apprehended from the cotton and other like articles of the cargo, which they run no little risk in securing for themselves, at the very moment they forced a fellow Creature to miserably perish ou their inhospitable shore, exhibiting a sad contrast to the conduct of the English towards the passengers and crew of I . a Jeune Emma, % French West Indianian, wrecked on the Welsh coast a few weeks back, Few diseases have more baffled the Faculty than Scrofula and Scurvy in their various form -, and for their cure almost e very article in the Materia Medica has been ( ried without success. The only Medicine of repute at this time is Mr. Lignnm's Antiscorbutic Drops, which have certainly been very successful iu eradicating those harassing Com- plaints. Scarce a week occurs but we have an opportunity of recording a well- authenticated cure performed by these Drops. For a recent one, see our first page.
