PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT. rp" U] E herb Coltsfoot, has long been dis- M. linouis. hed for ijl. s excellent properties in the cure of Coughs and other Pulmonary Con plainls; and this essence has, in the course of a long practice, been- found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens tl. ie Breast and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great re- lief iu Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling w'hiifh.. provokes frequeVit coughing, cleanses the small j> hiudij relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels — Thus it will prevent Consnmp- • iions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated.

The career of Admiral Grcnfell in the service of. the Emperor of Brazil has been must extraordinary^ yhetber it be considered in relation to the singularly early period of life at whieli this gallant young officer lias arrived at the highest '( lonours i f bis profession, or the pecular circumstances ur. dcr which he em- barked in the South American seryice. In the venr 1819, Admiral, then Mr. Grenfell, embarked nt liverpool for South America, ftrm'sheri with letters pf introduction to Lord Cochrane,' at that time Com- mander- in- Chief of the Chilian Navy. Hiivin•'* joined Lord Cochrane, Mr. Grcnfell' was immediately taken into, and made first lieutenant nf his own ship, and Remained vith his lordship during the whole period of his . command in Sonih America, having shared in' all those glorious enterprises and actions in which Lord Cochrane so eminently distinguished himself. In the cutting out the Spanish frigate, the Emerald, from a tremendous masked battery, Mr. Grenfell's conduct was marked by the most distinguished gallantry ; and on this, as well as on every other occasion in which he was employed, received the highest testimonials of Lord Cochrane* approbation and admiration of his gallant conduct. Upon lord Cochrane quitting the Chilian sort ice, and entering into the service of the Emperor of the Rrazils, Mr Grentell accompanied his gallant comtnander in the transfer of his services to Don Pedro. When Lout Cochrane left the Brazilian service to co- operate with the Greclts in the organization arid discipline of fhci' 6 marine, Mr. Grenfell, although particularly pressed by Lord Cochrane to join him, declined the offer, preferring' to remain in the Brazilian mvy, Ths result has proved that he right, as his subsequent course has been marked, not lens by ' brilliancv m action, than by a correctness of judgment hardly t » be expected from so young a man. Of his clearness of judgment, coupled with decision of character, he gave the most convincing proofs, hy the effectual manner in which he quelled a rising" insurrection at Para. On this occasion, his prompt and energetic conduct received the warmest approbation of" the PniEerpp l> Jtn'l; « Ro. Ill the month of July, 18* fJ, Cnptain Grenfell fought an engagement vr'itli a squa- dron of the Buenos Ayres navy, ami with an inferior force captured or put liors de combat every ship of the enemy. It was oil this occasion that he lost his right arm; and on the information reaching- tlif1 Emperor, his Imperial Majesty paid Captain Grenfeii the high compliment of writing an autograph letter to htm, in the most flattering terms, at the same time' sending hint the insignia ( consisting of the ribbon and star) of one of his orders— an houour enhanced by the fact of no officer of his rank ever having been invested with this order hefovc. As a compensation for the loss of his arm, the Emperor settled a pension of £ 300 a- year on him, aiid promised Capl. Grenfoll the command of a new frigate which was then on the stocks. Shortly after the loss of bis arm, Captain Grenfell obtained twelve months' leave of absence, 1c, revisit his family in England, whom he had not seen for eight years; at the expiration of vyliich period he returned to the Brazils, and the Emperor has very recently, in further acknowledgment of his gallant services, promoted him to the rank of Admiral. A ", miral Grenfell is at this moment not more than 30 years of age ; perhaps almost the only instance of so young a man risings to the highest rank in his pmi fession. Admiral Grcnfell is the nephew of Mr Pascoe Grenfeii, who was member for IVnrvn in the last sessiop of parliament!— SlgminU Paper". TURNPIKE TOLLS.

The following is an extract of a letter addressed to a lady in Edinburgh, from her sister nt Woodlands, in the district of Albany, Cape of Good Hope. The lettef is dated the 5th of September last :— " Oon't allow the terrible accounts you may have seen ill the papers about fhe savages being about to cat us all up, to alarm you. We that are nearer are iwp so ifl^ cjj afraid, Although at times tlimi lias been cause for a little alarm. There is just now a threatened invasion of the colony hy a chief of the Zulus, called Chuka ; he is said to he'a vxry en ierpjissing- man, and to have beaten all the tribes' thilt have been opposed to him, burning threir kr. i.- ils/' or villages, and taking their cattle. He sent two am- bassadors to the colony, with the purpose that one of them should see the governor, aud that the other should he sent to England, to see his ( Chaka's) brr - iher George ( meaning the king). lie says he will an- nihilate all the chiefs or kings of the blacks, so that there shall be no kings but two, and these shall he himself and George; but he shall be the greatest. The military have been on the frontier of the cojoi; y for the last two months; and a great proportion of the men in the settlement have been called out, and the remainder are under orders to go at a mo- ment's warning. Colonel Somerset, with ' 25!> 0 troops- and civilians, marched last week, it is said, with the determination to bring Chaka to battle. The result does not seem to be doubtful, notwithstanding his ims meuse numbers; it is said lie has above 00,000 war- riors. A Major Duridas, on duty at Landrost, went up the country some weeks ago, ncciiinp'anieil by 11 number of young men, to endeavour to come to some amicable arrarigement wjth Chaka j but he fc'ipt <> u « - of t he i/ ay, They fell In, however, with 5000 of his warriors, gave them battle, and co'fnpietely- routed them, and took 30,000 head of cattle, which ha. in- spired the people with confidence, and . lessened the fears they previously entertained. It is now s- iiil that Chaka is advancing with a greater force th in ever, and has demanded the head of Colonel S imerse* to be put on the door of his hilt. The Colonel, how- ever, does not seem inclined to part with it without a struggle. All are, very anxious for the result. Al- though there seems to be no fear, still it keeps the country in a very unsettled state, and is particularly distressing from the necessity of leaving the women alone and unprotected. Our neighbours tire Cafibi. es have likewise been . joublesome : ialliiig advantage of the unprotected state of the country, thev have com- mitted many depredations in stealing cattle, See. We have not, escaped, having lost a good many. " We have always some plague or other in this country, either rust, war, or locusts. The two hist we now have. The locusts have eaten up every thing, and in some parts there is nograssfor the cattle. You will hardly believe me when I tell you, that at times tliey fly in such dense bodies that the skv " cannot be seen through them, and they lie a foot thick a I over the gVoUnd, making a large gieen field as bare as a. public road in the course of a few hours ; thev a - e worse Jlian any plague we have had vet, as they spare no kind of grain, vegetable, or grass."— Caledo- nian Mercury.

JAIJ. 13TII, 18- 29. THE MARQCESS OF ANGLESEY. Had the Marquess of Anglesey concluded his government in the same spirit in which he com- menced it, wc should have bid him farewell with respect if not v. it! i reluctance, lit'our regrets for the gallant soldier, we would have buried the remem- brance of the statesman, and covered the defects of the politician with mourning for the municipal officer. There was much in the character and deportment of the Noble Marquess to gain esteem and disarm hostility. To much suavity of manner he had united an apparent candour, and a soldierly frankness. His military renown was in itself a passport, to our hearts. His great services' to his country insured our admir- ation. His wounds, and the infirmities consequent upon them, made hii » i ail object of interest to all who euiitid- appreciate merit even in an opponent, and acknowledge it in the partizan of a rjval party. But it is quite possible a man may uudu the benefit of former services. A brave it; an may injure his cm"' 1 rv [ i^ aiui pen, even more lhan profit her by his * word, and if a course of active service in the field be followed by a life of w eakness, or impolicy in the cabinet, though the public gratitude will not cease to foster the warrior's laurels, the public utility must condemn the stateman's delinquencies. The Marquess of Anglesey stands in this predicament. Whilst we admit his military glory, we shall not be • upposed to depreciate his real claims to renown, if we condemn, in the most unqualified ter.- s, the close of his civil carecr in Ireland. Had he submitted to the will of his Monarch, in recalling him from his high functions, with grace, and retired from the scenes of his mismanagement without agitating further the flame which it was his duty' to tepress^ w should, whilst withholding from him the meed of political applause, have gladly conferred on him the approbation due to the amenity of hi:> conduct, and iiis' patronage of the decaying manufacture* of the country. Bijt there is a want of temper in his retreat— a lack of dignity in his retirement— a petty and peevish littleness in the closing measure of his viceregal reign, which, we are free to confess, has abated most considerably from the estimation, in which we were ( inclined to li. uM. him. There is mischief ( should we say rice) in the manner adopted of defeating the policy of the Noble Duke, which argues more littleness than we conceive compatible with ihe character, of the frank and manly soldier. This is not the way certainly iij which he backed his Chief on the plains of Waterloo, and sorry are we to observe the contrast. The letter is not merely an act of insubordination, byt of one proceeding from a vexed and a vexatious spirit. It is said by the factions press, that this letter is a ieijrtci/ to the country. It is a legacy indeed, be- queathing strife and contention, agitation and passion, in a land needing ail the soothing repose which the wisdom of the great Statesman now at the helm so justly recommends. It is, indeed, a Pandora's box, out of which thousands of protracted evils have been suffered to escape. Like that casket, however, it con- tains yet an ingredient of consolation. A h ipe re- mains behind, that the warning of this example will shew the Duke of Well ngton the impolicy of retain- ing a single Whig in his Cabinet, or admitting him to his councils, and the impracticability of effecting that system of repose which he wishes to adopt, while tin niijividual mischief- maker has the official power of tiiwa^ ting his designs. We hope the Marquess's reeal will not be the Inst jict of decision and firmness we shall have to record of the Master Spirit of the times.— Star of Brunswick. SALOPIAN JOURNAL.

SUBSCRIPTION CONCERT.— In consequence of Wombwell's Menagerie occupying tbe whole of the Market Square, and preventing tiie approach of carriages fo the Town He. II, Mr. Amott has engaged the Lip. n Rooms for his First C- oncert, which takes place to- morrpw evening.— 8$ e Advert. The borough of Tiverton, which is'tinder the influence of the Earl of Ffarrowhy, is now repre- sented by his lordship- s brother, the Right Hon. Richard Ryder, and Lord Sandon, his lordship's eldest son. Mr. Ryder ha- always voted, as becomes a Protestant, for the preservation of the constitution; Lord Sandpn diilerently. Mr. Ryder being anxious to retire from the labours of public life, the borough was lately canvassed on behalf of tbe Hon. Granville Ryder, Lord Harrowhy's second son. The burgesses expressed their warm wishes to meet the views of the noble family, but begged to ask whether the candidate entertained the opinions upon the Roman Catholic question held by his unple, or. those held by his brother ? and upon learning that he was pro- popish, they respectfully but positively refused to elect him, We believe the meiVof Tiverton, Honoured be their name by all who honour love," \ vere unanimous at all events all attempts to obtain a majority were seen at once to be perfectly desperate, and the Right Hon. Richard Ryder is still the representative.— Two or three hints of this kind may be useful to the p?* o- pppcry lords and gentlemen who arc threatening to get up a case for Lord Anglesea, } vhich should force the Duke of Wellington out of oflice, or to a dissolution of, parliament. \ Ve wish indeed very sincerely that some political cause may bring on tbe latter measure.— and soon. Friday last, being the Birth- day of the Marquis of Sfafibrd, Earl Gower gave a Ball, at his mansion Lilleshall, to the principal tenantry, their families, and friends, who had so recently evinced their respect for himself and his noble House by their rejoicings on the birth of his Son and Heir. More than 30G persons were assembled on this happy occasion; and it is. almost superfluous to say, that the Cold collation, wines, and other refreshments, were. of the first description, and duly honoured. The whole was con- ducted in a spirit that must tend greatly to heighten the kindly feelings Of respect for the Noble Host that had previously been so. liberally manifested.— The following Song, written for, and sung upon, this occasion, \ ya$; warmly and deservedly applauded :• Dull Care, begone, nor dare intrude, For joy alone is ours; To night we meet a gleeful train, '!•<) celebrate the hours',. The Muses'too shall with us join ; Apollo tune tiie lyre; Terpsichore shall lead the dance; Euterpe strike the wire. - " Long life to TRKNTHAM'S ISTOBLE HEIR • With heart and voice we'll sing; Each'niind'be free, without a care, To make coy Echo ring. " We'll round his brow a chaplei: weave Of nature's choicest; flowers; ; f .

' A brighter way shall then be his, J. n Fortune's bosom born, To'see her joy.. enli veiling smiles, " Nor feel a frown forlorn. Now let us drink a bumper- toast', 1 . With cheers of three times three; Long may our NOBLE MARQUIS lire, This day's return to see! And, as Old Trent its, mazy course Rolls down by Trentham's Halls, So Jong may GOWTER'S name be found In its ipicestral walls! On the 6tli inst. according to annual custom, four fat beeyes, with a proportionate quantity of bread, the gift of the Earl of Powis, were distributed to the poor of Bishop's Castle. Mr. George Robins ( from London) has been, during the hist wcipk, in our county, looking over two fine properties that are shortly to undergo the fate of his ham rue?-— the Colon Flail mansion, manor, and 1500 acre.*\ of land, wi! h the church preferment, near to Betvdley and Kidderminster,— and the Albejghton estate, within two miles of Shrewsbury, and abutting upon. Tyrwhitt Jones's and Mrs. Corbet's estates : the latter is about 900 acres, and the high turnpike road to Chester divides the two farms for more than a mile and a. half:— its contiguity to the county toy » m must render this a desirable property for permanent investuient.

IN<• IMFOSTOBL— Ou the 15th nit. a man who had taken up his quarters a* the Crown and Sciptre, Bromyard, Herefordshire, not making his appearance in the morning at the usual hour, his chamber. doiU* was forced open, when he was dis- coverc, ITyiu£ ou the floor insensible; one portion of a broken rope . win banking from a beam, and the other part was fastened round his neck; he shortly recovered, anil being kindly treated, and detained till Wednesday, to recruit his strength, w- as sent away, providul with 35s. to r: n. ry him'on. Th, e Sunday fiillowinjf, be was found iu a similar situation, under an out: tree, in the parish of Earl's Croome, near Upton, yVorcestershirc; here he also received the kindest attention from tl » e JJector, who sent for a surgeon to bleed him, and < naliled him to proceed by the coach the next mornijog. He said that he had not a tarthiog in the world, and should die from starvation. It is very evident that this fellow is an arrant impostor, and ha* recourse to this most extraordinary method of " raising tbe wind," and These Sessions commenced on Monday last before Thomas Pemberton, Esq. ( Chairman), the Viscount Clive, the Hon. 11. H. Clive, Hon. Thomas Kenyon, Sir Andrew Corbet, Bart. J. A. LLoyd, Esq. F. II. Harries, Esq. M. G. Benson, Esq. H. D. Warter, Esq. J. Brown, Esq. Thomas Beale, Esq. Philip Charlton, Esq. John Edwards, Esq. Rev. O. Levcester, Rev. R. Corfield, Rev. VV. Hopkins, Rev. Waties Corbett, Rev. C. Leicester, ltev. H. Harrison, and Rev. G. A. Maddock. The Court commenced with hearing motions and trying appeals.— In the appeal of Dawley Magna against Madeley, and in that of Meole Brace against St. Chad, the Orders were quashed. Another case of appeal was by the parish of Bromsgrove against an order made for the removal of certain paupers, a mother and three children, from the parish of Hales Owen, in this County.— It appeared by the evidence of the mother, that in IS 13 she married one Joseph Andrews alias Josias Colev, by whom she had children ; that in March, 181!>, this Joseph Andrcwswas tried for felony at Worcester, and was sentenced to be transported for 7 years, which sentence was carried into immediate execution. Having grieved for his loss about three months, she married, in August, 1819, a man named Penrice, whose settlement was in the parish of Bromsgrove, and by whom she had the three children, who, with herself, were now the subject of the present appeal On the part of the appellants, it was shewn, by official documents from the office of the Secretary of State, that the first husband, Joseph Andrews, was alive at Sidney, New South Wales, in 1825; consequently the marriage with Penrice was illegal, and the three children ( two of whom were born al Alvechurch and the third at Hagley) illegitimate.—'}' he Order was of course quashed, Yesterday morning, in the appeal of the parish of Pontesbury against the parish of The More, the Order was reversed, in consequence of neither the inhabitancy nor the chargeability of the pauper being proved. In the appeal of the parish of Wellington against the parish of St. Julian, the first witness called for the respondents was a rated inhabitant of tli£ appellant parish, and he declining to give evidence, the respondents could not proceed with their case, and the Order was reversed. The Court then proceeded to the trial of the prisoners, but tin; cases were of no public interest. Thomas Croicthcr pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a jacket at Stapleton, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour. William Wycherley, for stealing a silk handker- chief out of the shop of Messrs. Barker, of Drayton, mercers, was sentenced to be imprisoned one' year to hard labour. William Hand, for stealing some sugar, tobacco, and coffee, oitt of the market room at the King's Head Inn, Bridgnorth, was sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour. Joseph Hughes, for stealing four asses, at Leighlon and Wrpxetcr, was sentenced to be imprisoned one year to jiard labour. William liayliss, for stealing fowls, at Neenton, was sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour. William Pope, for stealing a coat and waistcoat, the property of James Birkin, at Aston Botterell, was sentenced to be imprisoned 4 months to hard labour. Thomas Rogers, for stealing ljlbs. of mutton, at Bridgnorth, was sentenced to be imprisoned 1 month. Thomas Tannat, charged with stealing a quantity of wheat in the chaff from the barn of Mr. David William Jones, of Crickheath, was proved to have been seen coming out of the barn early in the morn- ing of the robbery, and a bag with a quantity of wheat in the chaff was found close to the place where he was seen, and the prisoner's hat, which he left behind him on being disturbed, was also found there.— The prosecutor and two other respectable farmers gave the prisoner an excellent character up to the period of the present charge; and he wa. s lucky enough to obtain an acquittal ( after some consideration) at the hands of the Jury.— The Chair- man told him he had had a very lucky escape, and cautioned him as to his future conduct. COEONSR'S IHQITESTS. A Coroner's Tnquest was held, 011 the 8th instant, at Llan, gollen, before Robert NichoUs, Esq. Coroner, and a respectable Jury ( assisted by the Rev. Mr. Ilea top, Vicar of Llangollen, and a Magistrate of the county), touching the death of John Jones, chaise- driver, under the. following circumstances It appears that, on the night of the 15th 6f December last, a young man of respectable eoiuivxiinis ( whose; name is also J[ ohn Jones) was in a state of intoxication, in the church- yard of Llangollen; hiq mother being anxious that lie,; should be brought home, requested the deceased (\ yh(> was passing, her house at the. time)" to accompany her servants for t'^ at purpose the deceased went alone, but was soon followed by two female servants of the survivor's mother: when the latter entered the church- yard, the deceased- and the survivor were f; n the act of starring or fencing with each other in a jocular manner; the, survivor gave the. deceased a slap on the face with his open hand; the deceased, turned from him and leaned his head over a grave- stone, his na? e bleeding; the survivor then came up, and asked liini if lie had hurt hurt, to, which the deceased replied " No, but you attempted it." The deceased, then retired', as- if to go home, but immediately returned ( perhapsi out of temper bv what had occurred), and gave the survivor a blow which feJled him to the ground, immediately upon which both parties closed, arid dinting* the struggle both were precipitated over the churchyard wall into the street, a full of some height. The survivor escaped with but a slight injury, but the de. c. eaae> itracdv' « ^ - a wound upon the " head which exposed the bone ; he was, however, enabled to walk home, and was attended by an empiric in the town. On the 31st of December, alarming symptoms of injury of the head ensued;, and oil the ist of January, Mr Vauglian, surgeon, of Chirk, was requested t. o visit him;, heat oaee. pronounced him to. he in a state of considerable' danger, and in the course of that night lie died. On the 5th of January, Mr. Vaughan was requested, to attend the inquest, when, in consequence of the non attendance of the (,' oro ; er ( from illness), the jury impaneWed by the Rev. IV? r." Ilea ton, and the Deputy- Coroner adjourned ihe inquest until the 8th itist. lu the mean time, Mr. Vaughan, with his assistants!, carefully dissected the. head of the deceased, and tb. ind snilicient disease to account tor death--. thp effects of injury received on the head; but he was decidedly of opinion that the nature of the injury was originatu/ of a simple character, and that, if the deceased had beeh properly'treated, he would probably have recovered from the efteejs of the accident in a short time The survivor surrendered himself into custody until the adjourned inquest, when tlie Coroner was enabled to attend. Witnesses were then carefully examined by him and by the Rev. Mr. ( Teaion, corroborating the narrative we have already, given, and also , that thedeceased was intoxicated on. the night of the accident; " that he. had been out since tlie accident, and had drunk gin aud some ale Both parties weye always on friendly terms; and we hope the melancholy leriuiuation of this case w ill act as a caution to those who indulge in the too frequent use of intoxicating liquors. The jury, after a- very p > tient inquiry, returned a verdict of li Acoil)' NT AX. D PATH."—- The Co- roner, in a very appropriate and feeling, address, pointed out to the. survivor apd tti£ jury the." stigma'' which instances of this kind invariably attached to many respectable members of society by. tlie indiscretion and intemperance of some, uufor- tunaie relative- and we hope and trust, that. in ihi$ instance his. good advice and caution will not ' be' lost sight of. We regret to add, that, the widow , and five orphan children of'the deceased are. left ' in a state of'destitution. ' However, through the kind and benevolent exertions of the Kev. IVlr. lieaton, M iK Rhfdips,: and several other respectable inhabitants of Llan- gollen, we understand a subscrip'. ion is already opened- for then:; and we hope to see it filled, so as to enable tlie Commit- tee ( which will be appointed for the purpose) to afford the family some permanent relief. Mr. Phillips, of the Hand Ho'el. Lkmgoilen, has, for the present, undertaken to receive s'- ihs. c; i;> tlu!'.^ and by whom the sinallest donation will be thankfully received.*-' 1 - - • ^ On ti e 5th in « t. aii Inquest was held at Manchester, before John Milner, Esq. Coronei-, on view of the body of a young- woman' named Gsvenlliau llughes, found drowned, on the preceding Haturdayj in the Infirmary poiql, in that town'.— The Jury returned a verdict, " That the decea.- ed, on the 3d inst. was found drowned in the Infirmary pond, without any marks of violence appearing ujion her body; but how she cspi.' e- into the water it was not p(> Sidble bv . my evidence before the Jurors to ascertain.— It appeared' that the deceased was a native of Llanfawr, near Bala, and that her father resides in t! ie pariah ( jf Llanycil, Merionethshire — Her conduct while resident in s: m'ce at an< J in the viciuity of Manchester is stated to have been very correct, and she was very industrious; but she had'recently appeared much distressed iu her mind.

Wmgfie^ d, Gent. Coron. er, on view of the body of Thomas Lloyd, late waggonei* to Mr. Lee, of Forton, who, while with his master's team in Castle Foregate, on the 29th nit. was knocked down, run over, and dreadfully injured ( so that death ensued) by a festive horse, which, with a cart at it$ heels, had run against Mr. Lee? s team and killed the fore horse, as stated in our Journal of the 31st 11It '— The poor man's death was very clearly proved to have been the consequence of accident; but it. appearing in evidence, that the horse by which the accident was occasioned was a well- known restive animal, the jury returned a deodand of £ > on the horse and cart. The driver of the cart was proved to be clear of all blame in the unfortunate transaction. " What may be the ultimate effect, v says the Rev. Robert Hall, " of the efforts made by the adherents of the Church of Rome to propagate its tenets, aided by the apathy of the opposite party, it is diilicult to conjecture. Certain it, is there never was a period when the members of the Papal community were so active and so enterprising;,, or Protestants so torpid and indifferent. Innumerable symptoms appear of a prevailing disposition to contemplate the doctrines of Popery with less disgust, and to witness their progress with less alarm, than has ever been known since the Reformation. All the zeal and activity are on one side; and while every absurdity is retained, ar, d every pretention defended, which formerly drew upon Popery the indignation and abhorrence of all en- lightened Christians, we should be ready to conclude, from the altered state of public feeling, that a system once sp obnoxious had undergone Soino momentous revolution- We seem, on this occasion, to have interpreted in its most literal sense the injunction of 4 hoping all things and believing all things. 1. We persist in maintaining that the adherents to Popery are materially changed, in contradiction to their express disavowal and while they make a boast of the infallibility of their creed, and of the unalterable nature of their religion, wc persist in the belief of its haying experienced we know not what melioration and improvement. In ^ m - st instances, when men are deceived, it is the effect of art and contrivance on the part of those who . delude them : in this the deception originates with ourselves; and? instead of bearing false witness against our neighbour, such is tj^ e excess of our candour, that we refuse to credit the unfavourable testimony which he bears of him- self." SANCTUARY;— One of the most curious passages in Mr. Thomas Roseoe's " Memoirs of Scipio de Ricci" is the statement of the abuses of the privilege, of sanctuary.—" Assassins, fratricides, poisoners, incendiaries, deserters, robbers, sons of the nobility who wished to withdraw themselves from paternal authority monks who had subjected themselves to punishment from their superiors, er soldiers from their officers; thos1 yyho had con traeted debts, See. & c — all took refuge in the same asylum, were all equally well received, and lived in a stafe pf the greatest disorder. They frequently disturbed- the performance of divine service, aud often maltreated She clergy ; committed crime aftej* crime, insulted and eyen wounded those who attended the church, where they had been received without shame, and even supported and openly defended. There they kept a school fpr tbe instruction of the young iu robbery and swindling, sold contraband goods and stolen wares. The^ hud prostijutes uinono* them, slept pele- mele under the porticoes, and noi unfrequeutly had children born to them during the time that they remained in the asylum. They ate, drank, worked at their trades, and kept open shop in the churches. They wore concealed arms, arrested the passengers in order tp ransom them, aud fired at the agents of | he police if they happened to pass by. They sallied out secretly to commit fresh robberies aud assassina- tions, and returned vyithin the sanctuary of the church, in order to enjoy, without fear,' the pro- tection which the temple aud its ministers granted them." - ( - Dnttj and Grocery Business. tFo Iu gpcgetr of( A N oldTestablished Concern in the above Line, situated in the principal Street of a Market Town, iu the County of Salop.

It comprehends the. GLEBE ESTATE; WITH A GENTLEMANLY RESIDENCE, and in a Neighbourhood remarkable for its Sociability. There are Corresponding Offices of every Description, and IMMENSE TYTHE BARNS, together with about SIXTY- NINE ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, in a high State of Cultivation, in the Occupation of Mr. Salter, a most respectable Tenant, at a low Rent of £ 200 a- year. Also, BISHOPS FARM, at Woodcock Hill, in the Occupation of Mr. Fowler, his Undertenant, at a Rental of £ 52 per Annum, and the GREAT TYTHES OF THE WHOLE PARISH OF RICKMANSWORTH, extending over a fertile Domain of 7000 ACRES OF RICH ARABLE & PASTURE LAND. The Compactness of this Parish and the proverbial Convertahility of the Soil, would fender it, even in Tiuies ( gone by) when Agricultural Distress prevail- ed^ a certain Source of secure and solid Income, and necessarily, by Parity of Argument, now that the Sun shines propitiously 011 the Adventures of a Farmer, with the slow hut certain Effect necessarily resulting from the Corn Bill in View, it would indeed he diffi- cult to suggest a more eligible Mode of employing Capital. The Parish, it has already been observed, i 11 eludes SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF RICH LAND, divided into convenient Farms, and occupied hy a most respectable Tenantry, ' i he Property intended to he > ol< i ( besides the Great Tythes upon Corn, Grain, I lay, Aftermath, and Clover), includes the Glebe Estate. The Whole was subject to a very moderate ' Valuation, two Years since, and made under Circuni- sinnees of great Depression j w hen the Result exceeded £ 1500 A- YEAR UPON A MOST CONSIDERATE ESTIMATE. THE PRESENT REAL VALUE EXCEEDS £ 1700 PER ANNUM. The Estate is held for three Lives under the Bishop " of Lohdon, subject tp a quit Rent of £ 27 a- year, renewable . according to Custom ; and the Reciprocity of Advantage is so manifest, that it will always insure a. Renewal. when a Life falls in. ' It is upon tins Prin- ciple very confidently submitted as a solid and im- proving Source of Revenue, the more so, wjien it is remembered that its Approximation upon tlie neigh- bouring ' excellent Markets, and the ready Access to that of London for all its Produce, will always give il a commanding Character.

THE ALBRIGHTON ESTATE possesses unusually great local and oiher Advantages, — First— It is situate within two Miles of ihe POPULOUS TOWN OF SHREWSBURY, proverbial for the Opulence, Rank, and Fashion of its Inhabitants, and not less so for the Goodness of its Markets, affording to the Grazier aud Agriculturist a ready Sale for the Produce of their Farms, whatever it may be, close to their own Doors, and affording them also the Opportunity of obtaining Dung and other Manure for their Land, at a moderate Expense, besides being within three Miles of Lime ; and, nextr— THE LAND IS FREE OF TYTHE, with the Exception of a certain Portion of Corn and Hay Tithe, and besides, fr* e of Parochial Rates aud Dues, the Chape Cry and Township pf Albrightou maintaining its own Poor, by which all the Rdtes and Taxes of the Fanner are comparatively nothing, not exceeding upon an Average of Years Is. to 15d. in the Pound ; ant} next— Coal of a good Quality, and not. difficult of Access, is known to he in Part of the Estate, and which, in the: Opinion of Persons well acquainted with siich Matters,• might he worked with considerable Prospects of Advantage, by any inouied Proprietor of Judgment and Spirit. Annexed there is an ancient, yet a substantially- built Mansion on the Estate, the Residence of former Owners, now occti. pied by a Farmer, and which at an easy Expense might be restored to its former Splendour, a Circum- stance of no small Importance to Sportsmen, from the House being in the Centre of the. Shropshire Hunt, and a Pack of Harriers being kept iu the adjoining Parish.

JUNCTION CANAL. 4 NY parties ctccjUciiu ted vvith the system il. of Inland Navigation will be aware that the important alterations projected by the- Oxford Canal Coinpany, in the line of iheir ' Canal between the Graird Junction Canal at Braunston and the neigh- bourhood of Coventry, have rendered unnecessary a portion of the fine proposed last year to he made, iu order to give ' increased- facility to the transit of goods and other articles ' between- the port of Loudon aud the midland districts. It is therefore now proposed lo make. a navigable Canal, commencing from a point of ihe impioved line of ihe Oxford Canal a few miles from Coventry, and after passing close to that populous and opulent city, terminating in part of the Straiford- oir- Avon Canal^ which will be about ten iniles distant from Binning-' ham, lo w hich place there is now a direct communi- cation hy canal, free from lockage. The promoters of this improvement in Canal Navi- gation have, merely « Q stale, that if the proposed line of Canal, which has heeu surveyed aud carefully examined by Mr. Telford, be adopted, the trade from London lo Birmingham and places hey oud will Iiay4 10 pass, be; ween the end of the Grand Junction' Canal and Birmingham, through T. VKNTY locks instead of § EyENTY- SEVEN locks, which are to be found on the shortest existing line of cominunioatio'jj between the same points; the distance between Birminghanrand Coventry will he shortened nearly eighteen • mile's;., and in that space there will b « i FIFTEEN locks* only," instead of FIFTY- ONE as at present. . The tiure and expense thus saved wilj not only be very advantageous to ihe trade passing between London and Birmingham, but must prove an im- portant benefit to the coal and iroii' districts of Staffordshire, VVorcesffsrshiire, and' Shropshire, and lo the ' agrieullural. interest's of the counties of Warwick, 5 Northampton, Oxford, Buckingham, aud Berks, in addition to that which will arise from tl: e improvements on the line of the Birmingham Canal towards Wolverhampton, and the cousiriictiou of the Birmingham and Liverpool Juuciion Canal, which is in iictive progress, and when completed will form u junction witif the Ellesuiere and Chester Cauale and through lhat anil the Grand Trunk Canal* with the part of Liverjiool ahd tow n of Manchester. It may be considered that the imp ovemenl of ihe Oxford Canal, aud the making of this intended Canal, will extend, iu a direct manner, the ben; fits of the Grand Junction Canal to Wol ve: hampton' and the district beyond; while an increased and beneficial trade will also he brought to the- Regent, Grand Junction, Oxford, Sifa'fford, " Worcester, Dudley; " Birmingham, Staffordshire and VVoice> iershire, Bir- mingham and Liverpool Junction, and Ellesineie ami Chester Canals — the deliveiy of grain, merchandize j and coals, will be expedited at least one day, ac- cording lo the opinions 6f efnineni carriers and traders ; and after a comparison of Parliau euim y and other charges . on existing lines, it is calculated that a saving of TWO SHILLINGS AND SIXPENCE per ton will le effected IN THE F < EIQHT ol c'oaU carried froiu Staffordshire to the line of the Qraud Junction Canal^ mid saving of FIVE SHILLINC.

On Friday, the 19th ult. a Meeting of Gentlemen, who had been educated at Chcam School, took place at the Albion, in London; to which the Rev. James Wilding was invited, to receive from them a hand- some present of Plate, on the principal piece of ^ vhich was the following inscription :— In Testimony of their Gratitude, for the able and zealous Discharge of his Duties as a Preceptor, nud in Token of their Esteem for his amiable Qualities, this Service of Plate was presented to The Rev. JAMKS WILDING, M. A. Lute Master of Chearn School, by the following Gentlemen, 19th December, 1828. *£ hen follow the names of nearly 100 of bis late pupils. A similar feeling was evinced towards the Rev. Gentleman, on his retiring from the school 12 months ago, by the young gentlemen there, who then pre- sented him with a richly- wrought Silver Vase. We have, by favour of a country correspondent, b en entrusted with a secret, which is rather charac- teristic of the present times. We state it in the strictest confidence to our readers, relying ( lint, whatever may be their private sentiments, they will hi' guarded in not letting it become public. It is this. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, being desirous of obtaining a s at in Parliament, which he is not likely to receive at the hands of his excellent friends of Clare, made application, not many weeks ago, to the electors of the borough of East Grinslead, to know wlicijh'er. Uiey would return him in case he should offer himself as iheir representative. The borough is what is called a Government borough, and it was believed that no possible objections could exist against returning a ministerial candidate. A meeting was, however, held, at which it was unanimously agreed, that as Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald voted for the Catholics, he could not be entrusted with the opinions and consciences of the worthy electors. The ex- member for Clare was, therefore, obliged to hot le up liis wine, button up his f: oat, and bid farewell to his hopes in that quarter; a • circumstance which, if it grieve him, is a matter of joy to us. We would be sorry if we could ; but < eannot afford it— Morning Journal.

The original Revelation declared Ihe. one tine God ; Paganism was its corruption, by substituting many false gods for the true. The second Revela- tion, Christianity, declared the one true, Mediator ; Popery was ils corruption, by substituting' many false mediators for the true. Both Paganism and Popery adopted the same visible sign of corruption, the worship of Images. The Jewish history opens fo us a view of the acting of Providence with a people appointed to the preservation of the faith of God. Every tendency to receive the surrounding Idolatries into a partici- pation of the honours of the true worship, every idolatrous touch was visited with punishment, and that punishment not left. to the remote working of the corruption, but immediate, and by its directness, evidently designed to make the nation feel the high importance of the trijst, and the final ruin that must follow its betrayal. A glance at the British history since the Refotill- ation must show ho^ v closely this Providential sys- tem has been exemplified iu England. Every reign which attempted to bring back Popery, or even to give it that share of power which could in any de- gree prejudice Protestantism, has beeu marked by signal misfortune. It is a striking circumstance, that almost every reign of this Popish tendency has been followed by one purely Protestant ; and, as if lo make the source of the national peril plain to all eves, those alternate reigns have not offered a strong- er contrast iu their principles than in their public fortunes. Let the rank of England be what it nii£ ht under the Protestant Suyereigu, it always sank under the Popish ; let its loss of honour, or of power, be what it might under the Popish Sovereign, it always recovered under the Protestant, and more than recovered; was distinguished by sudden suc- cess, public renovation, and increased stability to the freedom aud fortunes of the empire. Protestantism was first thoroughly established in England in the reign of Elizabeth. Mary had left a dilapidated kingdom; the nation worn out with disaster and debt; the national arms disgraced ; nothing in vigour but Popery. Eliza- beth, at twenty- five, found her first steps surrounded with the. most extraordinary embarrassments; at home, the Whole strength of a party,. including the chief names of the kingdom, hostile to her succession and religion ; in Scotland a rival title, supported by France; in Ireland, a perpetual rebellion, inflamed by liome; on the Continent, the forceofSpain roused against lie); hy the dpuble stimulant. of ambition anil bigotry, at a time when Spain commanded almost the whole strength of Europe. But the cause of Elizabeth wasPROTESTANTISM ; and in that sign she conquered. She, shivered the Spanish sword; she paralyzed the power of Rome; she gave freedom to the Dutch; , sh. e fvMgljt the bat- tle of the French Protestants; every eye of religious suffering throughout Europe was fixed 911 this mag- nanimous woman. At home, she elevated the habits aud the heart of her people. She eyeu drained off the bitter waters of religious feud,, niid sowed in the vigorous soil, w hich they had go long made unwhole- some, the seeds of every principle and institution lhat has since grown up into the strength of the em- pire. But her great work was the establishment of Protestantism. Like the Jewish King, she found the Ark of God w ithout a shelter; and she biiitt for il the noblest temple in the wpfld ; she consecrated her country into its temple. She died in the fulness of years and honour; the great Queen of Protestantism throughout ti, e na- tions; in Hie memory pf England her name and her reign alike immortal. Charles I. ascended a prosperous throne; Eng- land in peace, taction feeble or extinct; the nation prospering iu the full spirit of. commerce and manly adventure. No reign of an English king ever open- ed out a longer or more undisturbed view of pros- perity. But Charles betrayed the sacred trust of Protestantism. He formed a Popish alliance, with Ihe full knowledge that it established a Popish dy- nasty. He lent himself tp the intrigues of the French minister stained with Protestant blood; for his first armament was a fleet against the Huguenots. If not a frien j 19 Popei; y, Ije was madly regardless of ils hazards to the constitution * Ill- fortune suddenly gathered upon him. Dis- tracted councils, popular ieyds met by alternate . recognise him.. He is either enveloped in twenty or' thirty jards of cloth, formed into a cloak, which is lapped closely up to his eyes, or wrapped in a luost unseemly great coat, called a earrick, and he- is himself shrunk into oue.| ialf of his ordinary dimensions. If frost sets in he disappears altogether from the streets and walks, and is'. only I to be found iu cafes, where - the. temperature is kerpH up by the crowd of visitants and Ihe unwholesome beat of Ihe poete lo 85 or SO degrees.— In short, a Frenchman is, compared with u. ny. ojjier man, a most unaccountable person. If lie loves, if is to madness ; from Ihe slightest repulse he takes lo the river with the avidity of the spaniel. If he hates, the guillotine has 110 terrors for hitn. No eppear- nnce of danger can stop a French soldier iu a victorious career; his courage amounts to the most contemptuous disregard of death. If he meets a check, and imagines it possible that he shall he defeated, no human power can rally him, aud his . pusillanimity becomes equally contemptible and extraordi mry. If you please ' him he laughs, capers nnd claps his bauds, like a child. Vex him, and he becomes a maniac, makes Ihe most hideous grimaces, foams at the mouth, and dances with' rage. If he be a royalist, his loyalty is idolatry; jf a liberal, he is a ferocious republican. His Jrel ultra- atheism— weakness and violence, Ihe loss of Ihe national re: spect finally deepening into civil bloodshed, were Ihe punishment of his betrayal of Protestantism, The sorrows and late repenlatjee p. f his prison hours painfully redeemed his memory. Cromwell's was the sceptre ol a broken kingdom lie found the reputation and influence of England crushed; utter humiliation abroad;, at home, the exhaustion pflhfi clxil war;' and jtifioqspartizanship still tearing the public strength in sunder. Cromwell was a murderer; but in the high de i^ ns of Providence, Ihe personal purity of Ihe in- strument is not always regarded. The Jews were punished for their idolatry by idolaters, aud restored by idolaters. Whatever was in the heart of the Protector, the policy of his government was Pro testantisut. His treasures and his sj'tfis weje . openly devoted to the Protestant cause iu France, in lluly throughout ihe world, lie was the first w ho raised a public fund for Ihe support ol'the Vaudois churches. He sternly repeiled Ihe advances which Popery made to seduce hini into Ihe path of Ihe late king. England was instantly lifted on her feet, as by the power of miracle. All her battles were victories.; France and Spain bowed before, liar. All her ad- ventures were conquests,; she laid Ihe foundation of her colonial empire, and of that still more illustrious commercial empire, to whichjhe only limits in either space or tune may be Ihose of mankind. She w as the most conspicuous power of Europe; growing year by year in opulence, public knowledge, and foreign renown; until Cromwell could almost rea- lise the splendid improbability, lhat, " Before he died, he would make ( be nauiejif sin Englishman as much feared and honoured as ever was that of an ancient Roman." ( liules II. came to an eminently prosperous throne. Abroad il held Ihe foremost rank, the fruit ; o( Ihe vigour of Ihe Protectorate. At home all fac- tion had beeu forgotten in Ihe general joy of Ihe Restoration. But aCharles was a concealed Roman Catholic. f lie attempted to . introduce his religion ; THE STAR OF ENGLAND was instantly darkened ; the Country and the King alike became the scorn of the foreign courts; the national honour, was scandalized by mercenary subserviency to France; the national at us . were humiliated by a disastrous war wilh Holland; the Capital was : s; wept by the memorable inflicliousof pestilence and conflagration. James II. still more openly violated the national trust. He publicly became. a Human Catholic. This filled the cup. The Sinaitfi were cast out, they and their dynasty for ever; lhat proud line of Kings was sentenced to wither down into a monk, aud that monk living on the alms of England, ji stipendi- ary and an exile. William was called by PROTESTANTISM. He found the .. throne, as it was always found at the close of a Popish reign, surrounded by a host of difficul- ties; at home the kingdom in a . ferment; Popery, and its ally Jacobitisni, girding themselves for bat- lie; fierce disturbance in Scotland; open war iu Ireland, with the late king at its head; abroad Ihe Trench . King . domineering over . Europe, and threatening invasion. In the scale of nations, Eng- land nothing i- But the principle of William^ s government was Protestantism ; he fought and legislated for it thro1 life ; and it was fo him, as it had been lo all before him, strength and victory. He silenced English faction ; he crushed the Irish war; he then attack ed the colossal, st rength of Franco ou its own shore. ' I'liis was the direct collision, not so much of the two kingdoms, as, of the tw. o faiths; the Protestant champion stood in the field against the Popish per- secutor., Before that war < loser!, the fame of Louis was undone. England rose to the highest military iiauje. loa li ail! of inun, oi tal victories, she defended Protestantism throughout Europe, drove the enemy to his palace titles, aud before site sheathed the sword, broke the power of France for a hundred years ! The Brunswick line were called to the throne on the sole title of protestantism. They were honour- able men, aud they kept their oaths to the Religion of England. The country rose under each of those rote^ tant Kings to a still higher rank; every tri- vial reverse compensated by some magnificent ad- dition of honour and power, until the throne of England stands on a height from which it may look down upon the world. Yet In our immediate memory there was one re- markable interruption of tht^ t . progress ; which, if the most total contrast to the periods preceding and following can amount to proof,. proves lhat every iutrodu lion of Popery into the Legislature will be visited as a, public crime. During the war with the French Republic, Eng- land had . gone on troi) i triumph to. triumph. The primes of the Popish Continen t had delivered it over to be scourged by Fiance ; but the war of England was naval ; and in 1805, she consummated that war by the greatest victory ever gained ou the sea ^ At one blow she extinguished the na vies of France and Spain. The death ofher great Statesman at length opened the door tq a new administration.^ They were men of . acknowledged ability, some, of the highest; and all accustomed to public ad'airs. But they came iu under u. ple. dge t. o the introduction of Popery snyn or late into tile Legislature. They were emphatically "' i'he Roman CatholicAdiuinistration v There never was in the memory of man so sudden a change from triumph to disaster. Defeat came upon them iu every shape. in which it could assail a government; iu war, finaneej negotiation, All Iheir expeditions returned with disgrace. The British arms were tarnished iu the fvur quarters of the globe. y . . And, as if to make defeat more conspicuous, they were bafiled even in that service in which the na- tional feeling was to be the most deeply hurt, aiid inr_ w. i4. ch defeat seemed impossible. England saw with astonishment her fleet, disgraced before a bar- barian without a * hip on the waters, and finally hunted out of his seas by the fire froin batteries crumbling under the discharge of their own cannon. But the fair fame of the British Empire was not to be thus cheaply wasted away. The ministry must perish ; already condemned, by the voice of the country, it was to be its own executioner. It at length made its promised attempt to bring Popery into the constitution. A harmless measure^ was proposed, notoriously but a cover for the insults that were to follow. It was met with stern repulse; and, in the midst of public indignation, perished the Popish Ministry of one month and one year.** Thejr successors came in on the express title of resistance to Popery; they we$' e emphatically " The Protestant Admhiistration." . They had, scarcely entered on office, when the whole scene of disaster brightened up, and the deliverance of Europe was begun, with a vigour that never, relaxed, a combina- tion of unexpected tnean » and circumstances, an effective : and . rapid success, that, if a man had ventured to suppose but a month before, he would have been laughed at as a visionary. Of all countries, Spain, sluggish and accustomed to the yoke of France, with all i, ts, old energies melted away in the vices of its government, was the last that Europe eouldjtave looked to for defiance of the universal conqueror. But if ever the battle was fought by the shepherd's staff and sling against the armed giant, it was then,. England was . summoned to begin a new career of triumph. Irresistible on one element, she was now to be led up step by step to the first place of glory ou another; and that Protestant ministry saw, what no human foresight could have thought to see, Europe re § t° red ; the monarch of its monarchs a prisoner in theij: hands; and the mighty fabric of the French Atheistic Empire, that was darkening and distending like an endless dungeon over the earth, scattered with all its malignant pomps and ministers of evil into air ! It is impossible Jo conceive that this regular interchange of punishment t)) jd preservation has been without a cause and a purpose. Through almost three hundred years, through all varieties of publio circumstances, ajl changes of men, all shades of general polity, w. e see one thing1 afone unchanged, the regular connexion . of. national misfortune with the introduction of Popish influence, and of national triumph with its exclusion. It might be possible even to show, that, as the time for the great trial of nations hurries on, Eng. laud has become the subject of, jf su^ h a phrase may be permitted, a still more sensitive vigilance; and that not to have sternly repelled the fir^ t temptation of the corrupt faith has in our later da)' been punished as a crime. This language is not used to give offence to the Roman Catholic. His religion is reprobated ; be- cause it is his undoing, the veil that darkens his understanding, the tyratify thai forbids him the use of his natural liberty of choice, the guilty corruption of Christianity . th^ t, shuts the Scriptures upon him, that forces him away from the worship of that Being, who is | o be worshipped alone in spirit and in truth,; and flings him down at the feet of priests, and images of the Virgin, and | he whole host of false aud idolatrous ruediatuiahip. Bui, for himself, there can be but one fecjjiig- of the dsepest anxiety, that he should search the Scriptures; and, coming to that search without insolent self- will, or sullen prejudice, or the haughty and negligent levity to which their wisdom wi4T never be disclosed, he should compare the Gospel of God with the doc- trines of Rome. But, whatever may bs the lot of those to whom error has been an inheritance, woe b © to the man and the people to whom U. is an adoption. If England, free above all nations^ sustained amidst the perils which have covered Europe before her eyes with burning and slaughter, and enlighteued by the fullest knowledge of Divine truth, refuse fidelity to the compact by which those matchless privileges have been given, her condemnation will Hot be distant. But, if she faithfully repel this deepest of all crimes, and refuse to place Popery side by side with Christianity in the temple of the state, there may , be no bound ' io ihe sacred magni- ficence of her preservation. Even the coming terrors and tribulations of the world may but aug- ment her gicry ; like the prophet in the mount efy^ n An the iidsjLof £ he thunderinga and lightnings that appal the tribes of . the earth, she may be led up, only to the nearer vision of the Eternal Majesty; safe in the time of the universal trial, and, when that time has past, to come forth from the cloud, with the light of the Divine presence oti her brow, and in her hand the law for mankind ! fEiieceUanroiie IriiteUigencc.

Even this was not enough; lor Popery was afraid ot' Protestant milk, and a clause was inseitcd, that, the children should not be suckled by Protestant nurses. The . object of those stipu- lations'was So apparent, that Charles mdsf. lihv'e looked to a Popish succession ; arid the stipulations were so- perfectly suffi- cient lor their purpose, that ail his sons, even to the last frag- ment, of their line, were' Roruan Catholics Even the. iCiug's Protestantism was doubtful. Olivine/, the Spanish Minister, openly declared that Charier, on the treaty of marriage with the Infanta, had pledged hirUsdl'to turn Roman Catli'ol'ic. + He had solemnly professed Popery on the eve of the Re- storation. Viewing in this faithful historical sketch what has been the unbroken course of Providenca with this highly favoured country for near three centuries past, nothing but the most wilful scepticism can doubt that the patronage of Popery by the British people, or the British Legislature, would be fol- lowed by some tremendous national infliction, com- pelling its either to descend from the heights of prosperity and glory on which we at and, and re- trace our steps to misery and shame, or else $ buu- donjug us to that final ruin which would leave England, like Judea, a fearful example of the despised long- suffering of G. cxd, and the . madness of closing our eyes on his bounties, his visitations, and HIS PALPABLE WILL. $ Trafalgar, Oct. 1805, 5 February, 1806. II The retreat from Sweden,' 1S07— Egypt invaded and. pva- , or" r Whitelock sent out to Buenos Ayres, l£> 07.-.- The case of Stephenson the banker bears a close analogy to that, of Fanntleroy, who, it may be re- jcojlected, was executed a few years ago in the me- tropolis, fop. the frauds of which he had been guilty in his business of b. apker. The personal extravagance of this man was so great that he overran his ordinary income; and the detection of the fraudulent mode by which he procured money to supply the deficiency led to an ignominious death ou the scaffold. We greatly fear, indeed, that too many individuals, not only in the higher, but even in the middle ranlys of life, have contracted an unfortunate mode of living, beyond their incomes, which runs them into expenses from which they cannot extricate themselves without a violation of the principles, both of honour and honesty.— We have long talked of " the march of intellect'' as pre- eminently characterizing the present age; but " the march of luxury" is equally charac- teristic of the period in which we live. The advo- cates of the trading and commercial are perpetually taunting the agricultural classes with the changes which the domestic arrangements of farm- houses haye undergone during the last thirty years, and trace, to these changes most of the vicissitudes which the agri- culturists have experienced of late years. But the farmers may, we think, return the compliment, and twit th'e trading, the mercantile, and the manufactur- ing classes with the changes which have been intro- duced into their mode of living during the same period, and attribute the difficulties in which too many of them have been involved to precisely the same causes. The truth is, that all degrees and orders of men have contracted habits of expense which woujd astonish our frugal and economical f re- fathers, could they arise from their graves and survey tfie height to which extravagance has arisen in the present day. It is undeniable, that, in our domestic arrangements, comfort is too often sacrificed to displa y, and private happiness to public show. Pride, ex- travagance, and luxury are the besetting sins of the British nation at the present period; and to their operation may be traced many of the difficulties and embarrassments which have overtaken a too consider- able portion of our fellow- countrymen, and which have even prompted some to commit frauds, and hurried others to perpetrate crimes that have ex- posed them to tbe vengeance of offended justice.— fhe same causes have produced the same effects in all ages. Thus Sallust, the historian, traces Catiline's conspiracy to overthrow the ancient Roman common wealth to the pride, the luxury, the venality which prevailed more particularly among the higher ranks o£ his countrymen. " When,"- says the historian, " riches began to pass for worth and honour,; when. " g'ory, command, and great sway waited upon " riches; then virtue began to languish ; poverty fo be held contumelious ; innocence of life to pass for < c ill- nature. Thus luxury, voraciousness, and pride, & 1I arising from the comn\ on roo^ of riches, capti- ' f vated the minds of the Romans : t. hey rioted in " rapine and prodigality ; despised what, was their " own, coveted what belonged to others; banished " shame, friendship, and continence; confounded i' tilings divine and human,, and were regardless of all " circumspection and restraint." Such is the vivid picture which the historian painted of the vices of his countrymen. Let us hope, though some parts of it but too faithfully portray the state of our own country, the future historian of Great Britain may never have occasion to describe her character in colours so revolting as Sailust has used to paint the character of ancient Rome.— The avowal of the opinion may ex- pose us to the ridicule of men of loose principles, but we have no hesitation in declaring, that the man who lives beypud his income, and who contracts debts which he has 110 visible means of paying, is just. as morally guilty of felony as the bolder villain who thrusts his hand into the pocket of anothep aijd steals his purse. Where an individual becomes unfortunate through miscarriage in business, or from causes which no human prudence coukl foresee, much less prevent, every considerate person will make due allowance for inevitable misfortunes; but he who, having a fixed income, with 110 chance of Us being increased, con- tracts debts to twice the amount of that income, is a swindler and a. villain of the worst description, and deserves punishment equally with the footpad and the highwayman. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN IN TOWN AND COUN- TRY.— For some weeks past a description, of informers have been at large, entrapping tradesmen into the commission of offences against the Stamps' Act, & c. | t is an offence, for instance, to sell jewellery without a license, which costs & 0s. per annum ; and those who contravene the act are subject to £ 50 penalty for each offence. The informers have visited a number of chemists and druggists at the west end ofth<* iown & c. and purchased smelling bottles with silver tops Where the shopkeeper has not had in his possession an article of this description, it has been ordered of him, and he has procured it. He has been surprised a few days afterwards by the seryice of a process from the Stamp Office, for having dealt in jewellery with out a license, whereby he. had incurred a penalty o £ 50. Spda water is also subject to a duty. A person walks into a chemist's shop, and asks foR some soda powders. When they are weighed, the informer com plains of being extremely unwell. Would the chemist oblige him with a tumbler and water to take the draught. The tradesman is afterwards rewarded with an information, charging him with having incurred very heavy penalty, which could, upon the most forced construction of the laws, scarcely be sanctioned by a jury. The parties, when they appear at Somer- set House, are advised to petition the Commissioners of Stamps for a mitigation or remission of the penalty. Those who express an intention of resisting are advised by their professional friends pot to do so, as they must sijbject themselves to an action in the Exchequer at the suit of the Crown, which cannot be defended at a smaller loss than of £ 100 or £ 200 ; for the law has determined, that as it is beneath the dignity of the Crown to receive costs, so it is above paying them— and thus a very poor trader may be ruined. They, ol course, prefer paying a mitigated penalty ; and a lenient penalty of £ i0 or £ 12, instead of £ 50, is mostly inflicted. This penalty in a number of cases affords a good profit to the informer. One informer, who was a short time since the terror of the publicans, bakers, stage- coachmen, & c is now travel- ling about the country, attended by a dashing female, with a handsome equipage. He puts up at the prin- cipal inn, and his lady orders linen » pd other articles to be sent to her from fhe principal haberdashers of the town. The goods sent are handsomely paid for, but the • lady' wiw. v/ have some French silks. These are soon forthcoming, and the unsuspecting shop- keeper is visited with an information, which in the event repays - the informer for his expenditure. A Correspondent sends us the following anecdote :— H- , formerly a musical doctor of Oxford, a man very remarkable for - his corpulency, was accustomed once a year to go to London, and always took two places, one on the fore scat and the other on tiie back seat of the coach. Two wags, who ow ed the doctor a grudge, determined to play him a trick ; they, there- fore, determined to go to town on the day ihe doctor had taken his two places, and entered the coach at the inn door from whence it was to set out, the doctor having ordered the coachman to take him up at his house; the coach having stopped, . and the doctor having come to the door, said, " Gentlemen, I have taken two places." " Well," said the wags, " there they are for you, doctor." He remonstrated, and said, ", Gentlemen, you see my size, and I must have one side of the coach." One of them, in reply, said, " I cannot ride with my back towards the horses, being always sick and the other said he had such a cold he was obliged to sit oh 4hat side for tbe sake of warmth, and taking in less air. " Well,. gentlemen," said the doctor, " what must be, must;" and in he crammed himself, but the gentleman who sat next to him was finely squeezed; nevertheless, on they went, and, after being a few miles out of town, it began to pour with rain, and the coachman stopped at the first ale- hoUse to take a wet, and put OJV his surtout; in the mean while, a young chimney -. sweep, was passing. J) r. H~— w ho liked a bit of fun, called out to the sweep, " Butty," says lie, " you seem to walk lame." " Yes, your honour," says the boy," and 1 have four miles to go, to sweep Squire — « ———' s chimneys."— By the corn a verages it appears that wheat for the last six weeks, which regulates duty, is 74s; 5d. per quarter; Barley, 38s.

The well stocked covers of Dugdale Stratford Dugdale, Esq. M. P. of Me re vale Hall, near Ather- stone, have been visited several times recently, by large parties of the poaching fraternity. On Friday, the 19th ult. an organized gang, amounting to upward^ of twenty, armed with guns and other offensive weapons, entered a plantation abounding with pheasants, adjoining Mere vale Hall, for the purpose of killing aud taking away the game found therein. The keepers of Mr. pugdale, expecting the arrival of the party, had stationed themselves at a convenient outpost, to watch the movements of these daring marauders. After several shots had been fired the keepers presented themselves within view of the party, which in. 6tan|] y drew up, in order of battle, and gave them the alternative either of a retreat or a. fire; and, on the keepers venturing to approach their line, they tired, several shots at them, which fortunately did no injury. The keepers then gave up the pursuit, aud the gang, after having bagged eight pheasants, departed with their booty. On the following day Mr. D. issued a handbill offering a reward of one hundred pounds for their apprehension ; and, on the following Monday, he issued a second, offering the same reward to , any one of the party ( except the pia. n who fired) that, would impeach, w ith the usual promise of endeavours to procure a pardon for the party so impeaching. This had the desired effect.— An old confederate, named Cox, lured by the large reward, gave such information as led to the apprehension . of seven of the party, who made a most determined resistance before they would surrender. On Saturday, the 27th, another was secured, and a warrant was issued to apprehend four others, who, having learnt the fate of their companions, left the neighbourhood. Cox, in t] ie course of his examina- tionj stated that, at one time the gang ( of which he had long been a member) amounted to nearly one hundred ! That the plans were systematically ar- ranged ; that to, afford greater facilities, and to secure greater success, iheir band was divided into sections, and each section had its commander, its station, and its time assigned it. It is hoped that this detection will effectually scatter and break up a confederation, which has for years been the terror of the . cp, u. ptry round. They are generally men of great muscular strength, and of the most unyielding- bravery.

The guard was ordered to open the door and put the boy in ; the wags, seeing the doctor in earnest, begged him to desist, and readily gave up one side of the coach to him, but the doctor would not even cen e it to it, unless they agreed to give sutty a shilling each, w'lich they very readily consented to, and then proceeded on their journey, while sutty was made happy with his two shillings.— Exeter Flying JPoJ. The late dreadful disclosures in Edinburgh appear as yet but partially to h. ave unveiled the atrocity and extent of the murders committed. Jt had been believed that the number of victims was limited to thirteen, but suspicion now points to upwards of thirty victims of the murderous crew. Hare, says the Caledonian Mercury, " has, since the trial, made important, statements, in which he confesses hav ing been concerned in no less than twelve different acts of murder, in some of which lie was the principal, in Others an accessory ; and that, lie knew of another, though he was not in any way a party to the com- mission of it. Burke also admits having sold in all from thirty to thirty- five upinfernd holies during the last two years. The wretch admits that he was not a resurrectionist;— that neither Hare nor himself were ever by the side of a grave in a church- yard for the purpose of plundering it— and that the bodies they disposed of were bodies which had never been interred. If it be true then,, as Burke now srates, that in the course of the Jast two years he has sold to one individual from thirty to forty uninterred bodies, the conclusion is inevitable, that he and his associates, must have committed Sas . many murders. Nor are there wanting other civcumst. ances tending to Cor. ro-\ borate this - terrific suspicion, to give it ho stronger epithet. It has been remarked, that numbers of the uptbi'tuivate females upon the town have lately dis- appeared, no que knew how. Natural deaths have | become rare among them, and for some time past the interment, of one has scarcely been heard of. Con- necting this circumstance with the exuricp. found in the den of murder occupied by Burke, we confess our conviction has been strengthened that the greater number of his victims were selected from this unfortunate and degraded class."— It is added that the affair is not likely to terminate without the prosecution of other persons as accessaries after the fact. MORE, ADVANTAGFS OF FREE TRADE.— On the 15th ult. a very numerous meeting of persons con- nected with the Silk Trade was held at the Weavers Hall, Dublin. At this meeting statements were made which proved the depreciation the trade has under- gone since 1826, when the Huskissonian act came into operation. The number of hands now employed in^ that trade in Dublin has decreased from 1200 to 400! This decrease is attributed to. the introduction of- French silks; and it was resolved to co- operate with the London committee of the silk trade in their endeavours to obtain a repeal of the law authorizing the introduction pf foreign silks, or an increase in the duty on importation.— The Coventry weavers, too, have had a meeting. They are also blindly ignorant of the blessings of a free trade, and loudly call for the. abandonment of the system under which they have, been reduced to a state of pauperism, and are scarcely enabled to obtain food for the day.— The glove- makers utter similar complaints. Eighty- eight thou- sand dozen, or 1,056,000 pairs, of French gloves, have been imported into the port of London since the. 1st of January, 1828 5 and in 1827* 67,000 dozen were imported, making a total of 804,000 pairs. The man, who can argue that by these importations the native, manufacturer is not injured, is only fit to be an inha- bitant of a mad- house.— We are sorry to say that the injury is great and extensive. The competition of foreigners has compelled the English manufacturer to reduce his wages to so low an ebb that, although he pays his workmen at a considerably higher rate than, that which the French workman obtains, yet the silk manufacturer and the glove- maker are completely synk in respectability ; and it is with difficulty that tl^ ey cap eke out a miserable subsistence by the most close and laborious application.— And why is it that the labourer is thus to be mulcted of his earnings?; Why is it that his comforts are to be abridged, afid even the means to procure a competent supply of the, least necessaries of life denied him ? It is, in the heartless language of the economists— those cold-, blooded speculators in human misery— to enable the, consumers of silks and the wearers of gloves to pur- chase their articles cheaper, than they could do if the. supply of the home market was confined,. as it ought to be, to their industrious countrymen ! We are sure,, the great mass of the higher and middle classes of English, men and English- women will scorn to be actuated by such a mercenary motive, even were " it an object tQ them, which it is not; and we do cal^ upon them to set their faces against foreign produc- tions, and to purchase neither French silks nor. French gloves, whilst the manufactures of their own country are to be procured.—: Yor^ shir.^ Gazette, BURBLES --^-- Mankind, always following ona another, are like the animals described by jEsops and hence are the constant dupes of bubbles. In 172.0 we had the South- Sea bubble, in 1722, the, French had the Mississippi bybble, iu 1792 a Canal? bubble prevailed, in 1806 a Lund bubble took place, during which thirty, for^ y and even fifty y- ars' purchase were given for rack- rented lands; and since 1785 the National Debt and the Sinking Fund bubbles have triumphed. In 1805 the merchants of England sutiered by the Buenos Ayres bubble, aud every seven years produces its trad ing- bubble. Hut whnt is most extruordiuDry, the bursting of bubble after bubble never serves us any warning; against the next bubble that ia started. Loan TICNTERDSN'S ACT.— The Aet of the 9th Geo IV. chap. 14. • ntitled " An Act for reyderiug a written memorandum necessary to the validity of- certain promises and engagements," came into, operation on . Saturday last, and considerably ex- tends the operation of the Statate of Limitations. By the late law, bills or notes, bearing interest, were held to be continued in force beyond the term of six years, by an indorsement of | he pay- ment of interest, within six year,, made by the holder. By the present Act the endorsement mus^ be in the hand- writing of the debtor, and no promise shall be deemed sufficient to take a euse out of the Statute of I. imi, tatipn, unless it be in writing, or by part payment of the" debt. Wmten acknowledg- ments are also made necessary in several cases where verbal fua- nRoiaveute were before sufficient — Among other things it enacts, that any promise made after full age to pay a debt contracted during minority, or any representation made of another, person that he may obtain credit, must be iii writing; and no contract for the sale of goods to the value of £ 10 or upwards is to be he| d valid, except the buyer shall receive the goods, or give, something in earnest or part of payment, or a written memorandum of the bargain be made by the parties; all which memoranda are exempt froni stamp duty. BKAVTY OF THE ENGLISH LAW.— W is the, character and the. voice of the Law of England to deal in specialities; it is shaped on no broa4, principles, but adapted, lo particular cases. The consequence is, that between the specialities therei are amply wide gaps for the escape of offenders. Embezzlement is observed to be a frequent offence of clerks and servants -, the Legislature accordingly frame a law not comprehending embezzlement in all its forms, by whomsoever commixed, but embezzle- ment by clerks and servants Mr. Austin is indicted for embezzlement, and acquitted because he comes neither under the description of a clerk nor of a servant! This is the beauty of English Law. | sTow another law will be made, comprehending the embezzlement of treasurers for trust, or deputy- treasurers, agents, or others, and this will do till some uudescribed character embezzles, when there will be another failure of justice, gnd another special law to fill the gap. Such is the perfection of wisdom, excellent in shutting the stable- door when the steed is stolen. Crime, like tjgje, should be seized by the forelock. Our legislators, how- ever, delight in setting justice to the pleasai. it and seemly sport of securing tiie pig by the soaped tail; aud there is a squeak— an evasion— the prey is gone, and Themis floundering on her back iu the mire of iniquity. Dreadful Calamity.— Eight Persons drowned;— It is with the most sincere and heartfelt feelings of regret we have to state, that intelligence has been received of the occurrence in the vicinity of Sirurn, on Sunday last, of a most afflicting calamity, by which eight individuals have perished ! The. particulars of lliis lamentable affair are but imperfectly known at present; but the following, we believe, is a correct outline of the circumstances connected with this truly melancholy catastrophe On Sunday morning, three trading vessels, the PUebe, of ftoole, the Helmsley, of Selby, and the Nelly, of this port, were lying off Spurn, when the three masters, Captain Sales, Samuel Healas, and George Briggs, agreed amongst them- selves to spend the day with the family of Mrs. . Richardson, who resides at the Spurn Light- house. They left their respective* vessels at lialf- past eleven on Sunday morning, ill the boat of one of them, accompanied by- three men and a boy, all belonging to the Vhebe, and a man belonging to one of • he otiter vessels. Having spent some time at Mrs. Richardson's, it appears the unfortunate men got into their boat to return to tlteir vessels, but were heard, previously to leaving the house, to express a deter- mination to procure some cockles. After this nothing was beard or seen of thein ; they, however, never returned to their vessels. Considerable alarm consequently prevailed, and the most melancholy forebodings were indulged in, which were, alas! converted into certainty by the finding of oiie of " the bodies yesterday morning, washed up by the tide at C'leethorps, on the Lincolnshire coast, and the subse- quent discovery of the remainder in the same vicinity. The boat has not hitherto been met with, but a bag of cockles was found near the spot w here the bodies were washed ashore. The immediate . cause of this dreadful event thus remains unknown, as every persou on board fhe boat has perished; bnt it is supposed that they had got on Cleethorps sand for the purpose of collecting cockles, and had returned to their boat, when, by some accident or other, the boat wax upset. The whole of the bodies now lie at the inn at " Clee- thorps; but the coroner's i- quest has not yet been held,.— Hull l'tuhi, Vcc. 30. BANKRUPTS, .!
