ATLVOWSON OF ALVELF. Y, AND 1500 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND, TYTHR FUEK, AND TN A RING FENCE, very desirably situate on the Borders ^ f Shropshire, the Turnpike Road from BATH THROUGH WORCESTER to Shrewsbury and Holyhead passing through the Property. There are so many and such self- evident Advantages connected wilh this Investment, that a few of the more prominent will exhaust the usual Limit of un Advertisement. There tire FOUR MANORS, EXTENDING OVER THE WHOLE PARISH, OF 5000 ACRES, which has an Immensity of Game upon it, indepen- dently of ROYALTIES, HERIVITS, CHIEF RENTS, and APPURTENANCES.

So many attempts have _ been made tn mislead the good folks of ttie Metropolis, by pretending* to cure the crying* evil of Mid Water, without the least pretensions, that we wer£ amongst the many who remained sceptical as to HIP pretensions of the Royal Filter, until we were led lo seek ocular demonstration by having one fixed up in a large Cistern, and we have uO sort of hesitation in pro- nouncing* it QUITE COMPLETE, and in giving i. l oun ON QUALIFIED PUAIsrc. The Names of the highest professional talent in the Metropolis have given the strongest testimony that they may be considered, in the Metropolitan City, of London, as an absolute " God- send," hut we w'iM illustrate their Opinions by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Holy Writ ; and first let us examine the stale of the Water, as now drank by the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not vet availed themselves of this Filter, aud our readers will bear in mind that this evidence is supplied from evidence given ,, last session in the £} R'ITISH MOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. The following eminent aud learned men in their vocations have given evidence, of which the following is necessarily a short extract: viz. Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keate, Mr, Thomas, Dr., Turner, Drs. Hume, Yates, Kenison,' Somerville, Johnson, and Paris, kc. & e.— They pro- nounce the Water sent into their houses to be a filthy fluid— it is saturated with decayed vegetable matters, and other substances prejudicial to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly contribute to the production of that stale of faulty digestion and impurity of blood ; that it is so fiilhy and impure, as to be unfit for the breakfast table and for culinary purposes, aud that it adds so much to the other unwholesome constituents of bread, as to render every meal injurious to the health of thousands; that the Water sent into tbe Cisterns during the hot weather frequently became quite putrid ; and tbev have no doubt that the continued use of it. without filtering is capable of producing deleterious effects; that the Thames Water is extremely bad, fun1, dirty, and unwholesome, from the great quantity of filthy matters continually pouring* into it from numerous sewers ; and Dr. Kerrison makes us acquainted with a fact, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel iu narrating it. On inspecting the Thames near the Landing at Chelsea Hospital, he saw 44 the foul and black stream from the Ranelagh sewer, passing between the Company's Steam- engine and the Dol- phin, loaded with no small portion of undivided floating filth from privies;" from which he con- cludes, lhat 44 a considerable quantity of human excre- ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually passes into our Cisterns." Dr. Somerville, the Physician to Chelsea Hospital states the Water to be very impure. 44 The tide," lie ays, 44 stirs up the mass of impurity produced by ail that is corruptible in the animal and vegetable world, toge.' her With the noxious filth of gas and other manufactories, that constantly flow into the Thames from Battersea down to Gravesend." Dr. James Johnson, the author of the " Treatise on Indigestion," says— 14 We sneer at the delicacy of the Hind'oo, who 6lakes his thirst at the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to tbe delicate citizens of Westminster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thousand Cloacae, containing every species of filth and all unutterable things, are daily disgorging their hideous aud abominable contents." The last Professional Gentleman to whose evidence we shall refer, is Dr. Paris, the author of the popular work on Diet. He pronounces the water to he impure and offensive, and says that it stink* shortly after il has come in. Large quantities of matter are mecha- nically suspended in it. 44 Asa Physician," be says, 41 I cannot find terms sufficiently expressive of the awful effects it may be likely to produce upon the health, and: even lives, of the inhabitants of the Metropolis. 1' And in the last edition of bis work he goes still further, aud asserts, that if a remedy be not applied to the evil, 44 the ravages of some epidemic may be fairly anticipated." Such is the picture— the faithful and frightful picture— of the condition of the water of the Thames^ as supplied by the Companies to their customers. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest, most populous city in the world— the seat of a more opulent body of nobility and gentry than is to be found in any other Metropolis— should, for so long a time, have been contented to have seen daily running- into their cisterns, and to have used, for all domestic and culinary purposes, a necessary of life, so loaded with all sorts of impurities as to be pronounced, by pro- fessional men of the first eminence, to be offensive to the sight, disgusting to the imagination, and destruc- tive to the health, is a fact that Vvould not have been credited, and that ought not to have been credited, but upon evidence unanswerable. The result of their labours is the recommendation of Robins's System of Filtration— a system, not limited to the fifty- three thousand families daily drinking the filthy fluid of which we have been speaking*, but extending* itself to the hundred and seventy- six thou- sand tenants of the New River and other Companies, consuming the twenty- nine millions of gallons daily supplied to the metropolis. Unfortunately, at the moment when the Commis- sioners were drawing up their Report, the patent for « The Royal Filter for Cisterns" had not passed through the tedious ordeal of office, or it will not be doubted, after reading the following testimonials, that it must have formed an important and highly satis- factory conclusion to their labours.— The subjoined extract from a Prospectus, issued by the Proprietor, will he perused with the liveliest interest by all who consider cleanliness to be essential to health, and the purity of the element of which we are treating, to be nearly of equal importance with the air we breathe : — " The Royal Filter for Cisterns will be found superior to all Filters hitherto invented, inasmuch as it not only possesses the power of clarifying the water in a pre- eminent degree, but also that of complete purification, rendering the most turbid, stagnant, and foetid water, of a chrystalline brilliancy, depriving it of every noxious ingredient, and, iu fact, producing 4 Nature's Nectar' in the highest possible perfection; that is to say, clear and destitute of taste and smell." The rapidity of the process may be understood by a single observation, 44 that so fast as tiie water is sup- plied at the top of the cistern, so fast it will discharge itself from the bottom." u But where," the reader will naturally exclaim, 44 is the proof of all this to be found? We must have something more solid and satisfactory than bare asser- tions."— The following statement must, we think, set the doubts of tbe most sceptical at rest for ever. Mr. Hume, the respectable and talented chemist of Lon « * Acre, who has long been employed by Govern meut in analyzing* waters, had two bottles sent to him for analyzatiou ; the one full of all sorts of animal and vegetable matters in a slate of decomposition, and » tr7> ngly impregnated with gas ; the other, a bottle which had contained the same foul ingredients, but had been purified by the Royal Filter. In the unfiltered bottle he found, he says, forty- six grains and a half of solid matter, of which thirty grains consisted of impurities, and the remaining sixteen grains were the original ingredients peculiar to tiie water, and dissolved in it ; 44 for," he ob- serves, 44 there is no water, however pure and w hole- some, whether from deep wells, superficial springs, or any other source, that is free from saline and other soluble salts, not at all injurious to health." lu the filtered'bottle he found only sixteen grains of substances, which, on examination, proved to be the same materials peculiar to, aud soluble in, the water iu its primitive state, and perfectly free from Ihe impurities and contingent foulness of the water, occa- sioned principally by decayed vegetable matters, a slight impregnation by animal substances, some carbureted hydrogen or coal gas, and carbonic acid gas. Mr. Hume concludes with bearing the following Iii oh testimony to the merits of this discovery: — After a very careful analysis, I cannot hesitate to pronounce the method which has been adopted to filler Ibis specimen of water to be most effectual, and highly deserving of public encouragement." The same » >* eutleuiaii, at a subsequent period, analyzed two other" bottles, and says, 44 the opinion 1 had formed uf this new process for filtering is fully confirmed." W should add, lhat the water thus analyzed, although purposely strongly impregnated with gas and , other impurities, became chrystulized, and destitute of taste and smell." Thus it is clearly proved, that of the forty- six grains and a half of solid matter originally placed iu the Royal Filter, only sixteen grains of substances passed through it; and which sixteen grains' are proved to be peculiar to water in its primitive state, and not at all deleterious to health. However much, therefore, the observation of the Commissioners may apply to all former systems of filtration, it is greatly to be regret- ted that* before the close of their labours, they had not the benefit of the preceding experiments, nnd of the following striking testimonials to the excellence of 44 The Royal Filter." Professor'Brande, Dr. Clarke, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Keate, Dr. Seudamore, and thirty other highly eminent and unprejudiced medical men, have each had tiie Royal Filter placed in their cisterns, aud they all concur in slating that it renders the most turbid, fcetid water of chrystalline brilliancy, and free from taste and smell. It should be observed, that the difficulty of getting pure water is very. common iu most of the large . towns, and iiyleed throughout the provinces. The difficulty or necessity of placing a Filter at ibis distance is now removed. Portable ones of all dimensions, capable of filtering from 50 to 5( H) gallons every 24 hours, have been adapted fo prevent the inconvenience alluded to. The expense is from 30s. to £ 1 dr £ 5. We trust we have, said enough to draw general attention lo the merits of a discovery so highly con- ducive to the cleanliness, comfort, and health of the inhabitants of this thickly- peopled Metropolis. We shall only add that the Apparatus may be inspected at thej Office of ihe Patentee, Mr. GRORGE ROBINS, 69, Strand, opposite the Ariel phi Theat. ie; where the public are invited to have ocular demonstration of the efficacy of this remedy.

ON HEALTH. NDEK the denomination of NERV- OUS DISORDERS, in its full extent, are in- cluded several diseases of the most dangerous kind. The most common symptoms are weakness, flatulency, palpitations, watchfulness, drowsiness after eating, timidity, flushes of heat and cold, numbness, rigors of different parts, giddiness, pains ( especially of the head, back, and loins), hiccup, difficulty of respiration and deglutition, anxiety, dry cough, & c. One symptom is distinguished by no name, and of which it is impossible to form any adequate conception. It pervades with its baleful influence the whole nervous system, writhing the heart with inexpressible anguish, and exciting the most dreadful suggestions of horror and despair! To this demon have thousands fallen a sacrifice in the direful transports of its rage. The cause of so deplorable a sta'e of health will generally be found in passions too early or immoderately indulged ; the mind stretched into weakness, and the body into debility, hv anxiety and intense exertion ; the habits of a fashionable life, so injurious to health ; the use of strong liquors, and practices inconsistent with moderation and healthful excitement. Hence a train of Languor, Irresolution, Nausea, Indigestion, Weakness, and Despondency, which nothing soeffectually relieves as recourse to DR. SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM OE GILEAD, A remedy happily suited to restore the weakened Powers, and shed renewed Hope on the Mind.

Their com- position is truly excellent, as they do not contain any Aulimotiial or Mercurial preparation whatever, and therefore when taken do not require the least confine- ment or alteration of diet ( moderate exercise promotes Ihe ir good effects), they seldom operate until tenor twelve hours after taken, and then very gently ; they destroy worms, purify the humours, and evacuate iiil foul corruptions to which the Intestines are so liabRe, whereby so many diseases are produced ; never gripe unless the inside be very foul, and then but little, by removing obstructions they cause tile food to pass to ils respective parts ; becoming a good restorative amf pre- servative of health to both sexes, and to those of a costive habit a truly valuable treasure.

SHROPSHIRE TOmiPlII& IS TTCDIL1LS TO BE LET. Chilblains, Rheumatism, Sprains, UTLER'S CAJEPUT OPODEL- DOC.— Cajeput Oil, which is the basis of this Opodeldoc, has been long esieemed on the Continent, as a remedy for Chilblains, Chronic Rheumatism, Spasmodic Affections, Palsy, Stiffness, and Enlarge- ment of the Joints, Sprains, Bruises, and Deafness; and the experience of late years, in England, proves that it merits the high character given of it by the most eminent in the Profession, in those obstinate com- plaints. Being combined in the form of Opodeldoc, it is rendered more penetrating, and consequently much more efficacious as an external application. Rubbed upon the skin, by means of flannel, or the warm hand, it allays morbid irritation of nerves, invigorates the absorbents, and accelerates the circulation.

[ § § 5= In the advertisement of Mr. EvanS' 4 School tit Chir- bury, inserted in our Journal of the 14th lift, the word " WRITING" was mis- spelt: the error was. we think it our duty to say, an error of the press. The Duke of Northumberland will retfi'rn from Alnwick Castle on Thursday next— will kiss bands probably on the following day, and iifnuediately take his departure for Dufilin. The Cabinet Ministers proceeded t6 Windsor £ astfe his morning to submit for his* Majesty's approbation the Speech to lie delivered at the opening of the Session. We do not expect that his Majesty wilt come fo town fhis Week— The Session of Parliament, therefore, will be opefted by Commission. The mover of tlie Address in the House of CortiiHOnrf will lie Viscount Clive— and Viscount Corry, Lord Beluiore's eldesf son will be the Seconder. The Marquis of Anglesey had a long audieni'C of fits Majesty at Windsor yesterday, after which his Lordship returned to London. It is understood that he will take an early opportunity of delivering his sentiments upon the recent events that have taken place in III'( and. The Corporation of Dublin, upon the motion of Sir Edward Stanley, have resolved—" That, in order to mark in ( lie strongest manner tlieir sense of gratitude for the appointment of the Duke of Northumberland as Viceroy, lie should be received in the same manner as our nnyiisf Sovereign on his visit to this country, and that ±' 500 be expended for that purpose." The Gazette de France of Thursday says—" The Danube is passed at every point. The Pacha of Widdin is marching with 30,000 men against the Principalities, and it is thought that unless the Grand Duke Constantine arrives iu time lo stop the invasion, ( he Russian army will be obliged to cross the Prutli." Count Langeron is said to have had notice of the intention of the Turks, and had taken the necessary precautions to resist the attack. Should this intelli- gence, which is yet however doubted, prove correct, the Turks will have speedily disclosed the object for which they have been so largely strengthening their fortresses on the Danube, aud a general move most follow 011 the whole line of that river from Widdin to & iiistria. On SUNDAY NEXT, February 8, 1829; TWO SERMONS wilt be preached in ST. JOHN'S CHAPEI., Shrewsbury, by the Iter. SAML.

They hope, therefore, that this appeal io a charitable and humane public will not be made in vain.— Service in the Morning at half past 10, and in the Evening ut 6 o'clock. Speech of the King of France. The Speech of his Majesty on the opening of the Legislative Session, contains nothing that throws light on the affairs of Russia and Turkey, though some of its expressions would warrant a belief that there are no negotiations in any state of forwardness for tlie restoration of peace. What is however of great importance to fhis country, it contains indications that the best understanding exists between the great powers of this part of Europe. The jealousies and animosities between fhe people of France and England Have been sensibly weakened of late years ; and the dangers, real or imaginary, which result from the state ot affairs in the East are likely to lie more than Counterbalanced by the ffnitm " whiclv they wilt assist in consolidating between tbe Governments of France a. liV this country1. The following arc extracts• " Gentlemen— I am happy in seeing you every year assembled ronind my throne, to ote in couceri with me, the great interest of my people, fhis satis- faction is the more lively on the present occasion, as I have pleasing Coinmtiiiications lo make to you, and iifiporlaut labours to intrust to you. 11 My ft In Triii is with Foreign Powers continue to be friendly. The assurances 1 receive from my uflies dfter me a pledge that, not withstanding till events which have desolaied the East, peace will not b^ dis- turbed in 1 lie rest of Europe. To hasten the parifica- ti. ui of Greece, I have iu concert with England and Russia, sent lo the Moren a division of my troops. Al llir sight of some thousand Frenchmen, determined lo accomplish llieir noble task, that celebrated coun- try, loo long ravaged, has been restored to peace aud Security. There, asal Navurinn, the union of the flags has proved to Ihe world 1 he respect of the three Crowus for the faith of treaties, and my soldiers take pleasure iu recounting tlie sincere support which they have found iu the English nuvy. " A formal declaration, notified to Ihe Porte, has placed Ihe M. ireu aud the neighbouring islands under Ihe protection of the three Powers. This solemn act will suffice lo render a protracted occupation uniieees miry. 1 continue lo assist the Greeks to rebuild their ruins, aud my ships bring back lo them those christian stuves whom the pious generosity of France has re. Stored la their country aud to liberty. So many cares will not prove vain 1 have reason " to believe tlint the Porte, more enlightened, will cease lo oppose the treaty of the 6th of July, and il may he hoped that this firsl arrangement will not be lust for the re- estahlisbmenl of peace ill the East. " The situation of Spain bus allowed me lo recall the troops which I had left al ihe disposul of his Cn- fholiti Majesty. My soldiers have returned to their country, after having received from the inhabitants of all countries through which ihey have passed, testi- monies of esteem and regret due lo their excellent diteipl ilie. Considerable sums have been iidvuuced to the Spanish Government; a convention has been signed 10 regulate the repayment of ihem.— The hope which I still retain of obtaining from the Dev of Al. ffiers a just re pa ration,, lias retarded the measures which 1 may be obliged lo lake in order to punish him But I shall neg- lect nothing lo protect Ihe French from insult and pinrry ; and sinking ex- amples have already taught the AIgeriues that it ii neither easy uor prudent to bruve the vigilance of my naval force. " Such, geiilleitftrt. is the happy stale of our rela- tions null Foreign Powers. Wliulever intiy be the events thai ihe future reserves for us, I shall certainly never forget that the glory of France is a sacred depo". sit, anil that the honour of being tbe giuirdiiiii of it is the fairest prerogative of my crown. Order and peuce prevail in the interior. French industry, already so justly celebrated, is daily distinguished by new im- provements. Some brunches of our iigriculliire and commerce are suffering, but I hope ilia! il will be pos. siblr for me to lessen the evil, if I should not be ena- bled to cure il. The long inclemency of the seasons, and llie unfavourable delay which the hiuvest experi- enced, awakened for some weeks the solicitude of mv government. Distressing doubts with respect lo the state of our resources linve been iqi- eedily dispelled by more positive information. The subsistence of all is assured ; and if the price of corn, while it augments the prosperity of the landholders, increases for a mo ment the distress of the indigent, Providence has created beneficence to relieve lliose who suffer. The press, freed from restraints, enjoys entire liberty If licentiousness, its fatal enemy, slill shows iiself under the cover of a generous and confiding law, public good sense, which becomes more firm aud enlightened, does jus live to iis aberrations, and ilie magistracy, faithful lo its uohle traditions, knows its duties, and will always fulfil llirin. Communications will be made lo yon on the slate of our finances, Yon will he linppy to leuru Ihat the estimates of tbe revenue for 1828 have been exceeded. This increasing prosperity has not relaxed the System of economy, in which my government must endeavour daily lor advance further, without, however, forgetting that useful expense is also economy."

The union of two ancient and respected families, by the marriage of the Rev. Charles Wingfield to Miss Emma Jenkins, was celebrated by the tenants of Richard Jenkins, Esq. in the parishes of Alberbury and Westbury, with every respectful demonstration of joy,—- The same happy event was also celebrated by a very respectable party of friends, at the Grapes Inn, Bicton Heath, on Friday last.

A. of Brazenose College, Oxford, second son of Edward Bolton Clive, Esq. M. P. for Hereford, has been presented by his father to the valuable Rectory of Solihull, vacant by the decease of the Rev. Charles Curtis. The Maltsters' Association in this county are actively engaged, in conjunction with the London Association, preparing for the approaching meeting of Parliament, in order to obtain relief from the oper- ation of the present malt laws. We have 110 doubt that tt fliin union ( if maltsters iu every county will ( end greatly to facilitate the wishes of the trade in general. It is not without some regret for fife character of our town, that we mention tlie following circum- stance :— A respectable stranger walking near the Canal on Sunday evening last, observed some children in a situation of danger 011 the ice, and was using persuasion to induce them to quit the fragile substance; when an assemblage of half- grown fellows, that happened to he near, charged him with being a kidnapper, and with wanting to entice away and steal one or more of the children 1 and to such a pitth did they carry their ignorant assertions, that eventually the stranger was not only insulted but violently assaulted, and finally taken with a crowd at his heels to the Watch Room- where, 011 the real state of the case becoming known, he was immediately discharged. REPRESENTATION or THE CITY. We are Credibly informed, that Lord Belgrave came to town ofi Wednesday, and communicated to such of his friends as Were assembled at the town hall, that his family had come to the determination not to offer two of that family to represent this city in parliament for Uie future, or in any way to influence the return of a second member. We understand that his lord ship signified his intention at the same time, of making a public declaration to this effect, when the proper period might arrive for doing so : but that the intimation was given thus early, in order that the Citizens might adopt that course of proceeding most agreeable to their views.— Chester Chronicle. The last meeting of the commissioners in Messrs. Fry and Chapman's bankruptcy was held 011 Wednes- day, when the parties having declared to the truth of their accounts, passed their examination- From the statement read, it appeared that the total amount of debts was £ 401,663 6s. 9d.; assets, £ 215,673. 15s. lOd.; but to the latter were to be added the amounts to lie paid over from the private estates of the part- ners, which would increase the amount of assets to £ 272,773, leaving a deficiency of £ 129,590. 5,. ed. The amount of dividend was mentioned as likely lo be 13s. 6td. in the pound. DINNER OF THE SHROPSHIRE BRUNS- WICK CI. CB. An artiple report of the proceedings at the splendid meeting of this Club, 011 Thursday last, will be found in our 4th page ; and well might we content ourselves with a smile at the chagrin which Ihe Shrewsbury Agent of the Roman Catholic Association has so manifestly exhibited in his miserable article purport- ing to be an account of that day's proceedings.;,. A?; however, lie has had the hardihood to i* M:* t, that he " was present, when a Member of thp <? lub opened a Circular, enclosing a paid ticket"—: tW: " it has been openly mentioned to hifil bv.. several persons, that they had their tickets enclosed" to them gratis"— and that " many gratis tickets were given for the dinner;"— we feel called upon to say, that, these assertions, like a similar one contradicted in our last Jfliifnal, have not the slightest foundation ill truth ; and we dare hhri to produce the name of any member of the Shropshire Brunswick Club that received a circular inclosing a dinner ticket— we challenge him to establish the assertion that several persons had their tickets inclosed to thein gratis— we also challenge him to prove his assertion that litany gratis tickets were given for the dinner. We call upon him either to produce these proofs, or to stand before the public the CONVICTED AUTHOR and PUBLISHER of BAREFACED FALSEHOODS. We shall for the present pass over his ghoH of a report of the day's proceedings, just for the sake of a short notice of his preface to ii. It is a most certain axioiij that a particular ( lescriptiirti of individuals ( we do not mean wits'.) have very short memories; Or they would never venture to issue, their lucubrations iu black and white. The Agent to whom we refer, has made a calculation — or if he was not able to make it, he has got somebody to do it for him ; and he tells us, that Shropshire is from 40, to 50 miles square, that it contains 200,000 inhabitants, that the population of Shrewsbury is about 23,000 ( only a small mistake of about 5000, we lielieve), and that out of all these, fhe Briinswickers, notwithstand ing all Ihe gratis tickets too, could olily muster 160 persons, to dinner. Lord preserve 11s! We dare say, this was intended to liiive been a very imposing statement! But did it never enter the head of tlie writer that there was another Club— at present dragging on a miserable existence we believe— entitled " The Whig Club of Cheshire and the neighbouring Counties!" which counties are Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire, and the six counties of N6fth Wales! The number of square miles iu thisextentof territory, and the population of these extensive districts, will, we hope, be added up and published by the Agent to whom we have alluded : as Dominie Sampson says, they must be pro- di- gi- ous 1 but, as we haVe no taste for fcntli calculation*, we shall only observe, that out bf all these miles square, and all their hundreds of thousands, nay millions, of inhabitants, the " Whig. Club of Cheshire and the neighbouring Counties" never mustered more than 150 members, nor was there ever more than about 90 of those members collected to a dinner : while the Shropshire Brunswick Club alone, independent of the Oswestrv Brunswick Club, has more than 450 members * nrolietl> iivit, and, according to the statement, given even by fhe traducer of the Club, there were 160 of its members assembled to dinner on Thursday last. It was most judiciously observed, by a manly speaker on that day, that the persons who affect to view the proceedings of the Brunswick Clubs with contempt, are, in reality, actuated by far more painful feelings. " They ore, said he, " annoyed, they- ate galled, they are sore beyond measure.'' And, with him, we Would add, " long may they want the comforts of a soft pillow, if it is to be purchased only by our quiescence."' Since writing the above, we have received the subjoined letter from our respectable and respected townsman, Mr. Tompkins: and we leave the Shrews- bury Agent of the liegemen of His Holiness to digest its contents with what appetite he may V 0 ALA DY, of the greatest Respectability, is desirous, to be received ntf COMPANION by tiny Lady, wlift, ffom delicote Health or other Circinfi- slances, requires the Assistance of a confidential Friend of a cheerful Disposition, who would study her Welfare aud Happiness ; whether iu Town or Country is immuleriftl.— References of the most unquestionable Respectability will he given.— Letters ( Post- paid) ad- dressed 10 A B. at TUB PRINTERS of this Paper, will be immediately attended io.

That History nnd Experience, confirmed by the recent Acts and Declarations of ihe Itomnn Catholics themselves, prove that the Principles of their Brli. gions System are unchanged and unchangeable, mid that al the present moment they are as lunch opposed lo Ihe Rights, Liberties, and ilefigiou of Protestants as they ever were : Thai your Petitioners are convinced that nothing short of the total aud unqualified Repeal of all Re strictions and Ihe Ascendancy of their own Chtlrch will satisfy the Roman Catholics, and therefore that 1 lie introduction of Roman Catholics inio our Prolest- aul Legislature and Places of Trust and Power,' instead of giving stability nnd harmony lo the Government, will introduce the elements of perpetual discord and collision inlo Ihe very citadel of the Constitution. Your PetillifneriSj therefore, humbly prav yonr Right Honourable House mil to suffer rfny Law 10 pass, which, by admitting Human Catholics 10 a Share iu the Administration of the Government, may effect a change iu the fundamental Principles of ihe British Constitution, overturn the Altar, uud shake the Throne itself.

DEATH.— Inquest before F. Thomas, Esq. Coroner, on the 27th ult. on the body of W. M. Minshull, of Nantwich, baker.— Thi; deceased who was a respectable young man, on Sunday week, left Nantwich in company with another individual, and they skated duwn the Canal to Christleton, from whence they walked to Chester, and partook of some refreshments. They afterwards returned to the Canal, and proceeded towards home, but when they arrived near Beeston, the deceased had two or three severe falls ; and at Beeston Locks Minshull pulled off his skaits, and ran along the canal side for about two miles, when he complained of his legs aching very much ; he and his companion then sat down to rest themselves, and after remaining there for some time, the young man asked the deceased would he go on, when he refused, remarking, that he would rest himself another hour; he then wished him good night, and left him. On Monday morning, about 7 o'clock, the body of Mr. Minshull was found near Bunbury Lock, by Thomas Brazendale, he was lying upon the ice, and quite dead. It was evident, that this unfortunate event must have occurred cither in consequence of the defeased having fallen, and thus been stunned, or from over weariness after great exertion, rendering him unable to rise. His death is the more to be lamented, because it must have lieen painfully lingering, as, from the evidence of the person who found the body, it appeared that " his face and w hole body hail thawed the ice about where he lay, and left his shape upon it."— The jury returned a verdict, " found frozen to death " Valuable OAK, ASH, and other TIMBER.

Cotton. Onthe25lh ult. very suddenly, Mr. Thomas Phil- lips, of Carreg- y- Francis, Overton, Flintshire; a young man much respected by his friends and ac- quaintance. At a numerous meeting of the gentry, clergy, freeholders, and other inhabitants of St. Asaph, on Thursday last, petitions to both Houses of Parliament, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics, were proposed and adopted. under many a league of mountain, marsh, and moor, under the almost unfathomable wells, that, ibouuh now choked up, ouce supplied Sycharth, the fortress of Glyndwr, all the way to Chirk Castle. There was a wild tradition conuected with it, that awed the most fearless from a nearer approach to its brink than to th? crater of a volcano: that, who- ever approached within five paces of it Would iuevihibly be lost. The origin of this belief it is impossible to slate, but it was plain it hadprevullid for centuries, for far round the cave the trr. tss grew a « thick and as rank as in the w ilds of America, or some unapproached ledire nf the Alps, Slid the briars grew around it undisturbed, tangling and strangling each other. The origin of the cave Itself, and who were the beings who formed it, were also, in the oldest times, matters of mysterious speculation : whether a place of retreat for tbe Pagans of old, when tli ' ir rites were banished from " llygad y dydd," ( the day's eye,) or a spyiiig. glass for the astrologer Idris, or the mouth nf a hearing trumpet for the foul ( ieud himself io make out w hat was going oil in this upper world, without the trouble of ah excursion, is quite unknown. Certain it is, that, such were the fears entertained of this spot, not only by men, but by animals, that a fox, with a pack of bounds in full cry at his tail, has been known to turn short round, in approaching it, with his bail- air bristled and fretted like . frost work, with terror, and to have run into the middle of the pack, as if any thing earthly, even mi earthly death, were a relief to his supernatural perturbations. But I have been informed that, as a steel rubbed with a magnet exercises at last the powers of attraction for itself, so the fox escaped by the powers of repulsion he had acquired at the cavern's month, for not a dog would approach him, such was lie smell of assafoetida about hiio, and his hide was all burnished with green, yellow, and blue lights, as it were with a profusion of will o'llie wisps. But the marvel of marvels was, that Elias tip Evan, who happ - ned one Fair night to stagger just upou the rim of the forbidden space, is said to have arrived at home perfectly sober, the only interval of sobriety, morning, noon, or night, Elias had beeu afflicted With for upwards of twenty years. It was remarked that, although Elias drank as fervently and as deeply after the event as before, Elias had become " an altered man;" although he drank as much as ever, he uever could get druuk as formerly; as lie himself fantastically expressed it, " his shadow now walked steadily before him, that at one time wheeled around him, like a pointer over bog and stone." It was the twilight of a misty Hallow- eve when an old shepherd was returning home, now straight forward, now in a wide circle, according as the love of his chimney corner, or the fear of the cave and its five paces, was uppermost. He had just arrived full opposite that land— Maelstrom of Diaboly, when suddenly a faint burst of melody seemed to be dancing up and down the rocks above the cave : now it seemed to prooeed from one stone, then from another, like my grandmother's tooth ache, which, as fast as one of her dentals was expelled, euthroned itself in one of the survivors; and now every pebble on the summit seemed to have a voice in one fantastic and eddying chorus. The shepherd, motionless with terror, with that painful intensity of perception that terror bestows, fancied he could count every hair on the back of his dog, that crouched and quivered between his legs, as the cold wind squealed and ploughed up first one hair and then another. The music suddenly assumed something like a locality, and moulded itself into something like a tune, though, by the bye, it was a tune the shepherd had never heard before. But it seemed as if the tune, like mortal wights, was jolted into a fit of indigestion, by attempting to run down that shingly descent. Whenever it began a fine dignified martial flourish, every long note of which it was composed was immediately carved and frittered into a thousand clamorous unmeaning demisemiquavers, and its sweet pathetic iuuetldo s often jumped into a fierce climax of groans and discordancy. At this very moment a figure well- known to him became visible. He had a lantern strung before him, and a fiddle at his chest, and his legs were on the caper in- cessantly. "' I'is lolo ap Hugh! I remember his wager that he would dance all the way down the hill, and keep up a tane with his fiddle." Scarcely had the shepherd said this, when his fears revived afresh, on seeing that lolo had fiddled and capered himself within the fatal circle. He shouted and shouted till the very farthest mountains echoed, but lolo seemed perfectly deaf, still tossing his lie id and his lantern up and down, and poussetting with all apparent complacency, when suddenly the moon shone full ou the cave's yellow mouth, and he saw poor lolo for a single moment, but it was distinctly and horribly. His face was pale as marble, and his eyes stared fixedly and deathfully whilst his head dangled loose and unjointed ou his shoulders. His arms seemed lo keep his fiddlestick in motion with- out the least sympathy from their master. The shepherd saw him a moment on the verge of the cave, and then, still capering and fiddling, van sli like a shadow from his sight; but the old man h is often been heard to say, " he seemed as it were to skate into tbe cave, quite different from the step of a living and a willing man, but be was dragged i'lwards, like the smoke up the chimney, or the iuist at sunrise." Days, years, and months, had elapsed, and all hopes and sorrowsconnected with poor lolo had not only passed away, but were nearly forgotten; the old shepherd had long lived in a parish at a con- siderable distance amongst the hills from I. Ian . One cold December Sunday evening, he and his fellow parishioners were shivering in tlieir seats as the clerk was beginning to light the eh K.- h, when a strange burst of music starting suddenly front beneath the aisle, threw the whole congregation into confusion, and then it passed featly along lo ihe farther end of the church, and died gradually away, till at last it was impossible to distinguish it from the wind that was careering and wailing throu. h almost every pillar of the old church of Llan . The shepherd immediately recognized LEGEND OF IOLO AP HUGH. From the Cambrian Quarterly Magazine. [ loin ap Hugh, the tiddler, io the following l. egend, is said to have ventured into the Ojjof or Cave ( at I. Unymvnech), iril/ i fin inmeriitc quantity of bread and cheese, and seven jmtinUt nf caudles on his shoulders.] this to be the tune lolo had played at the month of the iave, though, whatever was the cause, whether that lolo was traversing a smoother surface, or that he now, like other spirits, wandered over nothing but unresisting air, certain it is that the tune, as the shepherd heard it the second time, a. id as the parsou of the parish, a connoisseur in music, took it down from his whistling, was much less abrupt and mountainous than on the former occasion. The Rev. Mr. Ap presented my grandmother, of wjiom he was an admirer, with a copy of it, and I hope Mrs. Heuians will sometime favour us with a vooal strain worthy of this keepsake of a souatadui? from amongst the subterraneans.* Now what became of lolo up Hugh, after the infernal Orphean finale, no . one knows, though many and positive have been the decisions upon the subject. Some maintain that hi'was chosen hunts- man by Gwyuii ap Nudd ( the Fairy King), and that every Hallow. eve night he is to be seen cheering the hounds of Annwn ( the world unknown, or the world of darkness) over the peaks o:' C. id. iir Idris and that his fiddle was changed into a bugle horn. Some again maintain, that lolo stumbled into a fairy- ring in tbe middle of the cave, and that be will be kept there, curvetting and scraping, till the day of doom; and it is said that, in certain nights in leap year, a star stands opposite the further end of the cave, and enables you to view all through it; and lo see lolo and its other inmates. In support of this hypothesis, it is also urged, that if on Hallow- eve you will put your ear to the aperture, you may hear the tune, " Farewell 1 Ned Pugh," as distinctly as you may hear the waves roar in a sea. shell. But I lean most to the opinion of ffi. ieas. Mac Doyle, an Irish Serjeant, who was recruiting in the villag.- j be thought that " Ned was only gone tu spend a few thousand years in laminy tbe music of tiie sphures." Many a time have I listened, with all Ihe wisti'ul- ness o( boyhood, but never could I hear anv t! i;.: jy but the moaning of the imprisoned gusts of wii(, l ; and I have shouted into the cave a shout that wmiid have reached a mile on level ground, l> nl never 1 receive any other reply than the reverberation of its organ- toned ccho » s, like a clamorous laugh of fiendish and tumult In the parish of Llau , oil the northern border Of Cambria, there runs a long bare pre- cipitous lugged hill, in the shadow of which the little village of Llan stands. In the middle of this rock there is a cave, with jaws as jagged and uneven as the hill into which it opens. The story went that it reached from Llan——., under the Morda, the Ceiriog, aud a thousand other stveams, uous scoriv, al the mortal step or mortal voice that should hope to penetrate th. tr dark and unfathomable abysses. „ iC. n'!'| e 7I?'

The First Dinnefof this Club took place oft Thurs- day last, at tlie Lion Inn ; anil it is with great pleasure we state, that on this occasion the largest dinner party 4vas collected, that ever assembled on any occasion in that ivell- knotth establishment. The hells of the Several i hutches announced the approaching festivity ; and previonstothe dinner hour, a uiutierons body of the Members of the Club had assembled in the large room of the inn, when an Address. to the King, and Petitions to both Houses of Parliament were tinailimousfy adopted, and will be found adv6rli& d ill another Column of Oiir Journal:— ' the dinner tables wei'e laid out in the Spacious Ball Roo. m ; but it being found that even this superb room would not accommodate the number of members fliat intended to dine on the occasion, tables were also laid in the tea- room adjoining; and soon after three O'clock, the hour for dinner, both rooms were cuin- pletyly tilled. W hen we say that the dinner, -?: e. was served Up in Mrs. Tompkins's usual style, it will need no further Observation ftii 6r » r piift to convince the reader either Of the excellence of the viands, or of the quality of the wines; every article produced was of the first order, and tJ^ e gcnefiil display was truly magnificent. The cloth naving been drawn, the President ( TiioiiXS. VVjifi'MORK, Esq.) thiil, he was perfectly 3ware ffiit the toast he was about to propose required So preface 5rt this occasion. Still, he trusted ft? Might be excused mentioning that this day was the anni- versary of ft is Majesty's Accession. He would, there- fore, propose, " the health of our mo- it gracious Sovereign, and long may his life be spared to enjoy many happy retuftis of this day.' —' Tile toast was given standing with 3 times 3 — God. tare the King was then sung by some professional gentlemen, and in full chorus by the whole company; and at the conclusion there was another truly British round of 3 times 3 hearty cheerf.' The Duke of ClarencS aiil the rest of the Royal Family; 3 times 3.— Sung, liule Britannia. The CHAIRMAN then said, that as the Address and Petitions had not been read in the hearing of some persons that were now present, he would read them again. This he did accordingly : they were received with unanimous approbation: and were afterwards handed round the room by Thomas Boycott and W. Ormsby Gore, Esq. and were signed by every member present. The CHAIRMAN said, he would now propose a toast, tfhich, he was sure, would be drunk by the company present with every mark of respect:—" The memory of His late Majesty King George the Third, and of His Royal Highness the late l) ukc of York."— Drank in solemn silence, standing. The CHAIRMAN again rose, and observed that the toast he was about to propose was closely connected With the institution cf which they were members, and in stating to the meeting the object far which they were assembled, he hoped they would allow him to. trespass upon theVt attention for a thort time. He fe. lt deeply grateful to them for the respect with wh- rfi lie had been honoured by being appointed to preside over the first meeting of the Shropshire Brunswick Club— ( cheers)— the objects of which were entirely defensive, and without the least hostility towards our Roman Catholic fellow subjects that continued loyal to the King and obedient to the Constitution. At the same time it behoved every well- wisher to the Protestant interests and Consti- tution of the country, by every way that be could— by every legal means— to preserve unimpaired the Protest:* nt Ascendancy ( cheers)^ and to preserve un- changed our present glorious Constitution in Church and State. He owned that be felt some disappoint- ment that several excellent, and respected friends whose sentiments entirely coincided with their own, had not joi'rteil tliem ; and he bad been informed that some 6 » fttleincft thought themselvei slighted, by not being asked to attend the lirst meeting that, had been held in Shrewsbury. He took this opportunity of staling, that no such intention existed on the part, of those who met at the Lion' I: Vn on ( lie 10th of I\ ov. fast. ( Cheers.) It had been thought advisable, from rirolitcs of principle, that it should be a private meeting; and no canvass whatever was made for attendance on that day; ar. d the Club having been once formed, it was expected that all those who Approved of its principles would enrol their names as Mi others. ( Chart.) He trusted that, after this explanation, many of tln- ir friends would be induced to join them, as tilt fy passing week convinced hhn je niore of the necessity that existed for exerting themselves, and for using every effort to repel those attempts which were going forward to subvert every filing dear to a true Protestant — his Religion, and the integrity of that Constitution, which, with the blessing of God upon their united efforts, he trusted they should transmit untarnished and unchanged to pos- terity. ( Caftinved cheers.) The Hon. Gent,, concluded by g'iving " Prosperity to the Brunswick <-' onst. itutional (.' lubs of England aiid Ireland."— Song, ." England, flic Anchor and Hope of the • Wvrld Sir TYRWHITT JONF. S said— In rising to propose the toast, with which it is his intention to conclude the . few words he was now about to address to the meet- ing, he could but state his hearty and unqualified coincidence in the sentiments of the admirable speech which their President had just delivered.'^-" The Presiitent." The toast waf di'nnii wii'Ii enthusiasm, and 3 times 3 hearty cheers. THE PRESIDENT said— He felt particularly grate- ful for the flattering and hearty maniK r in which his health had been drunk ; and he knew no better mode of conveying the assurance of his deep obligation for their very kind expression of feeling, than by tlrink- Png ru thoir very good healths, and wishing them many years of happiness and prosperity. Sir JOHN CIIVTWODK said— He had never dl'nnk a toast with greater delight fftaa thai for which their Honourable President had just expressed his acknow- ledgments, He felt proud in having, w ith the other Members of the Club, evinced his regard for the Patron of their Institution, who was also the well- known supporter of every institution that added to the strength of our Constitution in Church and State; and he was certain that any individual who would wish to undermine the Church, woald endeavour ultimately to undermine the State also. The Hon. Bart, concluded by giving the health of one for • whose exertions they must all feel greatly indebted— « The Vice- President;" which was drunk with three times three. The Hon. THOMAS KI NYON ( the Vice- President) hoped the President would allow him first to thank liim and the assembly for the kind manner in which his health had been drunk, and then to thank the Hon. Bart, for the too flattering manner in which he hail been pleased to propose it. He felt, that he had lio right to obtrude himself on the attention of the County — that there were others far his superiors in talenl, rank, and property, to whom the inhabitants of the County might with more justice pay attention ; and he had, perhaps, put himself forward in this business to his own loss, and in a way that might be to his prejudice. . He felt that consideration deeply : but still, he hail a right,• and as an Englishman he claimed that right, to express his sentiments and feelings openly, honestfy, and fearlessly. ( Cheers.) Ife felt deeply grateful for H* e attention1 which, as an individual, he had received; and the way in which his humble exertions, ami the exertions of those with whom he had acted, were seconded throughout the county by the supporters of the great Cause in which they were embarked, was highly creditable to the inhabitants of the County. Their Honourable President had most properly described the Brunswick Clubs as defensive clubs;• and they were strictly so. But they were opposed by two descriptions of per- sons : the one from principle; the other on the ground of expediency. With respect to those who difltrcd with them upon principle, their opposition was open, foil', and honourable; they had a right to express openly their sentiments, and God forbid that any attempt should be made . to prevent- them doing so: there were men amongst them that were an honour to the country; and far be it, from him to say they entertained any wrong intentions toward the institutions of the country ; but, giving them credit tor their intentions, he would claim the same credit from fhem; and they were not to be classed with those who called the members of the Brunswick Clubs by the name of bloodhounds, and by every epithet that was vilifying and degrading. « From our opponents of principle, we," said the Hon. Gent. " differ on principle. They wish to alter the British Constitution: we wish to preserve it. ( Cheers.) They wish to hand down to posterity a new- fangled, new- fashioned Government, which may be very fine in theory, but of which no man can say how it will work. We wish to hand down to our children that form of Government which was rendered sound by the wisdom and cemented by the blood of our an. cestors." ( Cheers.) He would not waste the time of the meeting by arguing the question in an assembly where they were all of one mind. They were all united in an institution, the object of which w- as, by every constitutional means, to preserve unimpaired that Constitution under which they enjoyed so many blessings; and if they only stood firm, that Constitu- tion would be maintained inviolate for ages to come. ( Cheers.) There was, as he had before observed, another description of persons who oppi> sed the formation itf Brunswick Clubs, and of them he would wish to speak with the greatest tenderness and respect; and if, in addressing the assembly before him, he should use one word that could, in justice, be considered as offensive to that class of persons, he should deeply regret that he had risen to address the meeting. The persons he alluded to were those who opposed the formation of Brunswick Clubs on the ground of expediency; and he must say, that the time may slill come, when those persons would think that fhey might have acted a more manly and effi- cient part if they had joined themselves to the Brunswick Clubs. They say that these Clubs are of no use, and that they shackle the hands of Govern- ment; but he would say, that if Government were firm and were disposed' to act, as he, and as those who had embarked in the same cause with him, thought they ought to act, the Brunswick Clubs would strengthen and not shackle them; and afthOpgh those to whom be had alluded had not given to the Bruns- wick Clubs that sTipport which be and the other members would be proud fry receive, still these Clubs were assisting the Government in supporting all those establishments and ( hat Constitution whiidt every honest Government was bound in duty to' protect. ( Cheers.) The parties to whom he had referred, had said the Brunswick Clubs were of no use: but. he would say they had already been of great use: the present assemblage, and the proceed- ings of that day, were a proof of it. ( Cheers.) The Brunswick Clubs tod called forth the Protestant spirit of the country in a way that even the authors of the Reformation never could have anticipated, and in a degree that would have great weight with the Parliament. Another point of great importance had been effected by the Brunswick Clubs. They had shown their fellow Protestants in Ireland that they felt for and sympathised with them. W8s it just of generous to allow tliem to be charged ( as they had been, by a self- constituted body,) with every de- linquency, and not tell them that wc pitied— that we felt for and > vitli them? ( Cheers.) It had fallen to his lot fo know that the establishment of the Shrop- shire Brunswit k Club had called forth a petition from persons who differed with them, it was true, but who had yet petitioned against the Roman Catholic Asso- ciation:— The Petition of these persons had a clause expressing their " confidence i'l the wisdom of Par- " liameut, and deprecating the formation of such " Political Clubs and Societies as may have a tendency ." to restrain the serious and impartial consideration " of the Catholic Claims, which we wish to be left fo " Parliament alone."— He must observe, that when he saw this petition it had only three signatures attached to it! ( Mmh laughter); and, he would ask, why had not this petition appeared before ? As it had not, however, appeared until now, what a very pretty scrape it had got the parties into that had signed it! ( bienewed laughter.) The clause that lie had read from it, was either prospective or retrospective. If it was prospective, it did not affect any Brunswick Club now formed; if it was retrospective, it affected the Brunswick Clubs and the Roman Catholic Association alike. ( Cheers.) It also affected the poor super- annuated Whig Clubs! ( Much laughter, and cheer- ing.) " It strikes me, therefore," said the Hon. Gent " that the parties that have got up the Petition from which 1 have quoted, have got themselves into rather an awkward dilemma; and I should like to see how they will get out of it. If they have not petitioned against the Roman Catholic Association and the Whig Clubs, they have not petitioned against us; if they have petitioned against us, they have petitioned against the others also!' ( Continued cheering.) If, Sir, this petition is intended to refer to future legisla- tion, instead of condemning what is past, I do not disapprove of it. f, Sir, regret the formation of Clubs; and nothing could have justified the formation of ohr Brunswick Club, but the existence of tin Roman Catholic Association. They forced fis into it: and the moment the Roman Catholic Association is put down, our club will cease to exist. They forced us into the formation of Clubs, by every threat and menace that could lie devised : they even accused us of apathy: but 1 trust we have redeemed ourselves from that imputation. ( Cheers.) If, Sir, our Club had produced nothing but the remarkable petition to w hich I have just referred, it would have amply re- paid every exertion that has been made, and would have deserved the thanks of the County. Sir, ice here see the very persons that hare been supporting the Human Cutln l c Association, arc now petitioning against it. 1" ( Renewed laughter, and cheers'.) The Hon. Gent, then said, he bad one observation to make as to the English Roman Catholics. They had, speaking generally, acted so as to justify every step that could be taken in their behalf, aifd so as fo lender exceptions only those steps which never could be taken in their behalf. As to the Irish Roman Ca- tholics, lie had no doubt, the greater part of them were well- affected to the general Constitution of the realm, but those portions of thvin must be excepted frotn ( bit observation, that were misled by crafty Priests and ambitious Demagogues, a'.

He meant to propose the health of one whom, he ( rusted, would w ield as well the affairs of the country, as he had wielded the sword in defence of it—" The Duke of Wellington."

That Gentleman had been attacked, had been grossly vilified; and, as he ( Mr. Gore) was happy to know, had felt quite confident that he need do no more than let those calumnious and disgraceful attacks pass unheeded.

IAM HOPKINS!,; after expressing his hopes that he should not be considered intrusive in addressing himself for a short time to the most respectable assemblage by which he was most happy to see himself surrounded, said — There were those who, seeing persons united as at present for the purpose of publicly expressing' flie intense anxiety they feel for the maintenance of our Protestant Constitution in its pure and pristine vigour, had endea- voured to persuade themselves and others, that they were either the victims of the blindest prejudices and the grossest ignorance, or, referring to the Clergy in particular, that they were actuated by a most un- christian spirit of intolerance and persecution. Such an imputation, let it corne from « * hat quarter it might, whether wantonly submitted to public vievV, or insidiously propagated in private, lie was, for himself, as a Clergyman, fully prepared indignantly to repel, as well as to express his conviction that it was a foul and scandalous libel on the Protestant Clergy of the kingdom at large. ( Chars:) On their behalf, as well as on his own, he would take leave to set tip a claim to as pure and upright intentions, to as compe- tent powers of reflection and as honest, an application of tliein, and to as full a share of sterling liberality unmixed with the dross of modern liberalism, as belonged to those who seemed disposed to consider those qualities as centred in themselves alone ( Cheers), and who affected to treat with" coiitcmpt the honourable purpose of such I'fieetings* as that, in whicS he was now speaking. " What stuff and liofiSense!" said one. " What do they mean?" said another. " I see nothing defined," said a third. But the truth was, they saw enough defined, they suffi- ciently understood the meaning of these assemblies, to raise in their minds other feelings besides thoste of contempt—( Cheers)^ they were annoyed— they were galled— they were sore beyond measure—( cor. ti: iued cheers) ; " and," said the Rev. Gentleman, " long escence !" 7 ^ it contempt that carried that phalanx of Aristocracy to the late Devon meeting? No: he that runs may I read a different lesson. ( Chart.) He was'frei! to confess his humble feeling that a settlement of the Roman Catholic Question was an object ' most de- voutly ft, lie desired: but when they saw au associ- ated body levying tribute and raising troops for - the avowed purpose of overawing and controlling the state, would it not be madness to think of conceding and conciliating while such a body continued in existence? ( Cheers.) Should not every advance towards concession be postponed from day to day, from year to year, from age to age—( Continued cheers)— rafher than suffer it to he effected in a manner that struck at the very root of the Constitu- tion itself? ( Cheers.) As to those speculations on the propriety of concession, which stood upon the slippery ground of expediency, he would refer those who indulged them to the admirable, anil to him unanswerable observation of fhe Archbishop of Dublin—" I cannot," said that eminent Prelate, " reconcile it to myself to view this question merely " as a politician : I dare not let a notion of expe- " diency rise up in my mind against w hat I feel to be " a question of duty." ( Cheers.) Were his Grace to write volumes, this one sentence would be worth them all. ((' oetinucd cheers.) It appeared to him that the restrictions of which the Roman Catholics so loudly complained,, were restrictions which themselves alone could remove.- The Protestant had nothing to qucntly made that the Roman Catholic claims must lie conceded, were at first sight almost appalling; but, on a closer investigation, any feeling of that of the Romish Church had been changed by times anil circumstances. He really wished that it was. He was willing to admit that there were individuals, who nominally belonged to the Roman Catholic Church, but in their hearts abhorred many of its most obnoxious dogmas. He respected and esteemed highly many individuals among them. He had the honour to 1M; descended front an ancient Shropshire family, still Catholic. But they had nothing to do with them there as individuals. It was with the system, it was with the Romish Church, that they were concerned ; and be should rejoice to see any proof that that Church and that system Were changed. ( Cheers) If they would show him any public authorized document of that Church that disclaimed any one article of the Romish creed, as settled by the Council of Trent, and published in the Bull of Pope Pius the Fourth, he would acknowledge that the principles of their Church were changed,' and that Roman Catholics nngnt be dealt with as Roman Cath'. l'cs iff name, but. as Prcitestants in reality. But no such change had been or could be made by the Roman Catholic Church ; for by the very act of making it, they would give up their claim to infalli bility, and tvoijld sign their dea'h- warrant with their ow n hands.—( U eiteraled cheers) The principles of the Protestant Religion and thoSe of tire Roman Catholic Religion were diametrically opposed to each other: and the more, conscientious a Roman Catholic was, the more would he feel it a bounden duty to use any influence be might possess to secure the ascendancy of his own Church, if not to establish it upon the ruin of others. See then the situation in which Roman Catholics would stand, if fhey were admitted into the Legislature of this Country, and into other situations of trust and power. They would be placed under the necessity of .. being rogues: he did not use the word in any offensive sense - but they would be placed under the necessity of being hypocrites and traitors. ( Ijnid cheers) They must either dissemble their own principles and betray the interests of their own Church ; or they must betray the interests of the Protestant Church and Constitution, which, as British Legislators, they would be sworn and bound to maintain. ( Continued cheers.) It was t!: rn the duty of Protestants; it was their duty to themselves, the duty of self- preservation, and their duty to the wise and good among the Roman Catholics themselves, to resist to the utmost the ad- mission of Roman Catholics to political power. It was the bounden duty of the Roman Catholics ttf exalt their own Church on the ruins of the Protestant Church ; and if they were once admitted into the Legislature, any ideii of afterwards restraining the exercise of the power they had obtained, would be perfectly ridiculous. ( Cheers) As an Englishman, therefore, and as a Clergyman of the Established Church, he would call upon ? iis countrymen to op- pose all further concessions to the Roman Catholics. ( Cheers) If once admitted to political power, all at- tempts to restrain them by legislative enactment ould be useless, and had been well exposed in a stanza, once addressed, he believed, to a Speaker of the House of Commons, in connection with this very subject; and with which Tie " Vuu- il Conclude his long address :— 1 to ar a lion in the lobby roar: Say, Mr. Speaker, shall 1 shut the door, Anil keep him out ! Or shall 1 let bini in, In hopes that I may turn hini out again. The Rev. Gentleman sat down amid loud cheering. The PRESIDENT said, he was about to propose the health of a venerable nobleman, who had dofie more to serve bis country than almost any other man in" existence ; and whose public conduct had gained and attached to him a host of friends, while, he believed, it had created very few enemies: he meant " Lord Eldon." This toast was drunk with 3 times 3, and " one cheer more. The Hon. THOMAS KENYON.—" Mr. President, you have given the health of one highly- revered nobleman : and it will require no apiology from me to ihtfoducc to this assembly the name of another, to us quite as well known, and assuredly not less revered-. Connected as be is with this county, I, indeed all of us, should have gloried in having his name enrolled in our Club i but, when we consider his high official station, that was not to be expected. Still, however, looking to his public principles, as uniformly avowed by bis votes in Parliament, we have a just right to claim him as a supporter of all those pcinciples on behalf of which we are united. Gentlemen, 1 propose, and I am sure the toast will be duly honoured, fhe health of the Lord Lieutenant of the County" ( the Earl of Powis),— Tin- toast was drunk with marked respect, and 3 times 3 hearty cheers. THE PRESIDENT then proposed the health of the absent Members of the Club, some few of whom, he regretted to say, were detained from the meeting by illness ; others there were, who, from the distance at which they resided from the county town, could not, at this season, be expected to attend the meeting. The VICE- PRESIDENT ( Mr. Kenyon) said, he hoped he should be pardoned for proposing another toast. It must be highly gratifying to the first promoters of the Shropshire Brunswick Club, fo witness the support it had received from the inhabit- ants of the town of Shrewsbury : their conduct was highly creditable to themselves, and it hail been most gratifying and flattering to himself and the other members of the Committee.—" Prosperity to the Town and Trade of Shrewsbury" was then given with 3 times 3.

THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND.— The maider? speech of the present Duke was made, as Lord Percy,' in the House of Commons, Feb. 2, 1806. It was irf favour of the abolition of the Slave Trade; and orf this occasion bis Lordship uttered the very humane wish for a law to tender every negro child free- born after January 1, tSlO. On the 17th March, 1812,; his Lordship was summered, by writ, to the Upper House. He has taken l; ot little part in public life since he lias been called to that House ; but his' opinions are known not to be less strong on that account. Many of the daily papers describe his Grace as a moderate sensible Tory ; but, bad they called him a strong Protestant ami a determined Church- and- Kiiig man, it had been nearer the truth. His Grace's fortune is immense, amounting it is said,' to £ 260,000 per annum. DEFINITION OF THE WORD LIBERAL.— The epithet is now arrogantly enough assumed, exclu- sively, by all those who dift'er in opinion with his Majesty's Government, and who remain firmly at- tached to the Constitution as" it is. A Whig must be liberal, because he is it Whig— a Tory must be illiberal, because lie K a Tory — a Bishop illiberal, because be is at the head of the Protestant Church. In fact, every thin J; is liberal which attacks existing establishments— anS" every thing illiberal which seeks, fo preserve them. And the high anil perfect proof of liberality is to put the most illiberal construction upon the acts and motives of all who presume to' bold different opinions from the Liberals. MARRIAGE HIGH LIFE— The Earl of Corn- wallis, nephew . of flic great Marquis of Cornwallisy and son of the late Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry,* was married at' St. George's, Hanovcr- sqnare, oii Thursday, to Miss Laura Hayes, daughter of the late William Hayes, Esq. of Southall. His lordship is about fifty years of age, and the bride about forty. By a former marriage his lordship has a son, only a few years old, Lord Broome, his heir apparent; and a daughter, who is married to Wickham Martin, Esq. The accomplished"(^ ride was governess, and afterwards companion, to Mrs. Martin. The ancient barony of Zouch of Haryngworthy which, on the drath of the late Lord De- la- Zouch," felF into abeyance between bis two surviving daugh- ters, has, by bis Majesty's letters patent, been declared to be the inheritance of the eldest, Harriet! Anue ( wife of the Hon. Robert Curzon, of Hag- ley; near Rugeley, Staffordshire,) who, consequently, becomes a Peeress in her own right, by the title of Baroness Zouch. At a juvenile ball in Montrose, a young damsel of fascinating appearance, but afraid of being out stripped by lier rival companions, bad her stays laced to su'ch a degree as to make many on her entree ga2e and wonder at the metamorphosis which had, within a few days, taken place, particularly in the circumference of her waist. The ball com- menced, ant?" continued with much gaiety for some time, when, alas! the neat and handsome fair oiie fell into a swoon ! Restoratives were administered without effect; and there being no student of medi- cine nor any individual present who had a know- ledge of the malady, relief was not to be had, and surgical assistance w- as instantly sent for. Before its arrival, however, the unlacing of her stays was deemed a fit expedient. This, owing to their tightness, was found impracticable ; but, rather than endanger life, the value of property was set aside, and the stays were cut— pen- knives and scissors both having been used in the destructive process. This having been done, the fair damsel soon recovered and re- sumed her wonted appearance, both in stature and circumference, determined never again to tamper with life in a foolish attempt at over- neatness — Another baif is* to be held soon ; but it is not likely we will have occasion to record a similar occurrence- — Montrofe Review. kind would disappear.

Eng- land, when that Church is openly attacked, farewell to the glnrv and the liberty of our country. ( Cheers) If a spark of gratitude remains in the breast of any individual, and that spark does not inflame when he reflects on w hat the Clergy of the Established Church, as represented by the Seven Bishops who went to the Tower rather than be parties to a sacrifice of the liberties of their Country, have done for their Coun- try, { should blush to call such a man my country- man. ( Cheers.) Will any man say, that when the Seven Bishops went to the Tower they did not merit ( lie eternal gratitude of their countrymen? And shall it ever he said, that when a Clergyman of the Established Church exerts himself in behalf of those institutions that are intended to uphold that Church, he shall be maligned and vilified, and that bis friends and countrymen will not rally round him? ( Con- tinued chc6rs.) Gentlemen, 1 rejoice to witness your feeling on this occasion." ( Cheers) Mr. Gore trusted he shorrld be permitted just to refer to some observa- tions that, bad been made by his excellent friend ou his left ( Mr. Kenyon). As an Irishman, as one having a large stake in that country, he hoped he might, be pardoned, if he also expressed bis coincidence in the statement, that the Brunswick Clubs were defensive. Had not the Roman Catholics declared that partici- pation in the Legislature was not their ultimatum ? No : fhey looked beyond that: and did any of those to whom he was addressing himself want any member of the Roman Catholic Association to tell him, that the Roman Catholic religion was a religion of arbi- trary power? Did not their recollection, and history, and the state of Europe, convince them of it ? He had many Roman Catholic friends whom he highly esteemed: they knew his sentiments; and be was sure they would repudiate him, if he were to shrink from openly and manfully declaring them. ( Great cheering) He would just refer shortly to those records of History— now termed Old Almanacks— ground without flinching, and to assure those on whose account, these restrictions were imposed, that he would persevere iu an uncompromising resistance to their dissolution, so long as they persevered in seditious encouragement of the Demagogue, or iu slavish submission to the Priest. ( Cheers.) Such were the reasons that had induced him to enrol his name as a member of the Shropshire Brunswick Club; but he trusted he might be allowed to add, that, no man alive would more sincerely rejoice than himself to hail the approach of that, day, when, ample and unexceptionable security for the perma- nency of our Protestant establishments in Church and State being, so far as human foresight could provide, fully and Unequivocally obtained, every restriction might w ith safety be withdrawn. Till that day did come, however, Protestants must stand on the defensive ; but, he trusted, he spoke the language of every generous British Protestant, when lie said— anil said it. from his heart—" May God speed it!"— The Rev, Gentleman sat down amid universal applause. The Rev. E. H. OWKN said, belonging, as he < ji('> to the profession of the Church, he thanked . Mr. Ormsby GOre for the most handsome manner. ui?^ hic| i he had set forth the claims and services of t'n^ t pro- fession. The clergy did not join the lirunswitft ( BIUHH, in a political capacity, but because, as men and as- Britons, they were anxious to preserve, as in duty tliey were bound, the established institutions in Church and State, and because they wished to shew, in their province, their attachment to that Constitu- tion by which fhey were prepared to stand. He could not shew his respect to the gentleman he h ul named better than by proposing liis health to the present meeting. The health of Mr. Ormsby Gore was then drunk with 3 times 3, and protracted cheering. Mr. ORMSHY GORE said, he really felt most grateful for the honour that had been conferred upon liini by Mr. Owen, and by that most respectable them to history anil experience; and then they asked themselves whether their opinions were un sound ? A reference to first principles took them at once to the period of the Revolution; anil they fouud that at that period the same, nay greater, difficulties existed than did now. The nation at that period was with difficulty aroused to a sense of its duty. When that great event, to which we owe our Liberties and all that is most sacred, was achieved, many good men, under the names of nonjurors, & c. suffered deeply in their property and by other means, for opposing that settlement of the kingdom. Yet, however wise and good those men were, was there any man living at the present day that would say they were not in error ? When the Reformation took place, it was a work of the greatest difficulty, and accomplished through much opposition; and yet. would any man— much less a Whig— say that the Reformation was unnecessary ? Yet, until it could be shown to him, that the Reformation was unnecessary, and that the Revolution was unnecessary, he felt bound to say that the Roman Catholic claims ought not to be conceded. ( Cheers) Were they, then, to retrograde ? Were they to go hack to a repeal of the Act of Settlement? Were they prepared to submit to a Popish King? (" No! No /") Were they prepared to have their King sur- rounded by Popish Councillors? (" No/ No.'") Were they prepared to sec the Parliament filled wi( h men who were members of a Church which com- pelled all its followers fo assert, that every church and every creed that differed from their own was renegade and reprobate, and that all the followers of such chur'Chcs and creeds must be brought back to the pale of the Holy Roman Church? (" No.' No.'") But it seemed that a notable panacea had at last been discovered. Mr. Wilmot Horton bail found out, that Roman Catholics might he admitted into the Legis- lature, but, when there, they were not to legislate on any matter that aftected the Protestant Church ! And it. had been said, that some persons of eminence had given the discoverer of this plan the credit of inspira- tion for his profound suggestion! But was it not impossible for any mart to say what question did not affect the interest of the Protestant Church. And would not the nice sensibilities of snch men as the Member for Clare feel hurt if they were not allowed to vote on every question that came before them ? ( Laughter) To borrow a simile from Mr. O'Connell, such a plan would make it appear that the " hereditary bondsmen" were compelled to wear continually their prison dress, and to bear always about them a portion of iueir slavish chains! ( Loud cheers) But it. was useless to talk of such paltry expedients. If ever the Roman Catholics were admitted into the Legislature, they would persevere till they had ob- tained a majority; and then all such restrictions would be repealed, and the Protestant Constitution, would be delivered up to the tender mercies of plotting Jesuits anil priest- ridden demagogues.— ( Cheers.)— He was one of those that felt convinced that the spirit of Popery was opposed in its very essence to the principles of Protestantism; and if Popery was admitted to share with our Protestant Government, it would never amalgamate with it. ( Cheers) But he bad been told that the principle most creditable to the assembly, that the proceeding: of that day were such as all present must have been proud to witness, and delighted to participate in ; and as the business for which they had been assembled was now completed, he would, before vacating his situation, and proposing his last toast, take this opportunity of expressing his deep acknowledgment for their unexampled support on this interesting occasion.— He then gave " All Friends round the Wri kin." Sir TYRWHITT JONES, being immediately called to the chair, proposed the thanks of the meeting to the President ( Mr. Whitmore) for his services throughout the whole of the day.:— This toast was enthusiastically drank with 3 times 3, and " one cheer more." William Lawlcy, Esq. was afterwards called to the chair; . and the following- toasts were given:— Sir Andrew Corbet; Col. Gal acre and the Shropshire Militia; Earl of Bradford; the Members for the County ; Prosperity to the Principality of Wales ; Mr Boycott and his Fox Hounds; May our Protestant Constitution never be repaired with Roman Cement; W.

MR JEFFERSON AND THE AMERICAN TARIFF.— The following is an extract from the article on the American Tariff in the forthcoming number of the Edinburgh Review :—" That the present Tariff can be allowed fa regirlste the commerce of America for any very lengthened period is what we do not be: ieve. It was carried by extremely narrow majori- ties both in the Hoase of Representatives and - the Senate; anil has excited, more especially in . the" Southern States, an extreme degree of dissatisfaction. Ifs opponents contend, that in imposing heavy duties, not for the sake of revenue but of protection, Congress has exceeded its powers, and violated one of the fundamental principles of the constitution. Whether this be really the case it would be presumptuous in us to attempt to decide. We may, however, observe, that Mr. Jefferson took this view of the matter; and, in a letter to Mr. Giles, written after the passing of the Tariff of 1824, has expressed himself very strongly indeed on the subject:;— 1 Under the power,' said this truly distinguished patrS) t and statesman, ' to regu- late commerce, they ( Congress) assume indefinitely that also over agriculture and manufactures; anil call it regulation, too, to take the earnings of one of these branches of industry, and that, too, the most depressed, and put them into the pockets of the others, the most flourishing. 6f all.' And after briefly noticing some of the objectionable proceedings of Congress, Sir. Jefferson adds—' Are we then to stand at arms ? No! that must be the last resource, not to be thought of until much longer and greater sufferings. If every infraction of a compact of so many parties is to be resisted at once as a dissolution of it, none can ever be formed which would last one year. We must have patience and long endurance, then, with our brethren, while under dehtsion. Give them . time for reflection and experience of consequences; keep ourselves ( Virginia and the Southern States) in a situation to profit by the chapter of accidents, and icparate from our companions only when the sole alternatives left are the dissolution of our union with them, or submission to a government without limita- tion of powers. Between these two evils, when we must make choice, there can be no hesitation : hut in the mean time, the States should be careful to note every material usurpation on their rights, to denounce them as they occur in the most peremptory terms, to protest against them, as wrongs to which our present submission shall be considered, not as acknow- ledgment or precedent of right, but as temporary yielding to the lesser evil, until their accumulation shall outweigh that of separation.'— This, if any thing can, ought to make Congress pause in the hazardous and desperate career on which it has entered. Strong indeed nurat have been the conviction of the impolicy of the ' American system,' that could have induced Mr. Jeflerson to declare that a dissolution of that confederation, in the formation of which he had borne so distinguished a part, would be a. preferable alternative to a toleration of the evils that must spring from it." TEA.— Tea has become one of the most important articles of Russian commerce, and its introduction has had a very salutary effect on the lower classes of that vast empire, having much diminished the use of spirituous liquors. It is transported by land and river carriage from Kiakhta ou the frontiers of China. BANKRCPTS, JAN. 27.— Francis Thomas llnrt, of Charlotte- street, Black friars- rn. nl, tailor.
