[ FROM THE MORNING JOURNAL.] The Swan river, as most of our readers know, is ill nearly the same parallel as Sidney, in New South Wales— being oil the opposite side of that continent. Its banks are susceptible of cultivation— the soif being rich, and the river ( provided the bar at its mouth were cut) navigable for many mites. The first proposition for forming a settlement on thin river was made by two gentlemen in the Bummer of last year. They proposed lo employ, in th° re- moving of the bush and preparing the land, the idle convicts of this country— the people who I'rvdt on better fare in the hulks than the most fortunate nnd honest weaver of Spitalfiehls— the condemned Of all classes who are shut up in our asylums ami penitentiaries, in perfect idleness, at the expense of this country. All they demanded from [ he government was the first cost of transit. For the trouble and the etpense of carrying them to tho Swan river the government were to be relieved of their maintenance for ever. By removing them, in this way, a large sum annually would have been saved to the nation ; and the idle aud the vicions would have been familiarized to habits of profitable industry in a foreign land. This proposition was submitted fo the government hy parties ot the highest respectability, and of talents eminently suited to carry Ihe project int., effect. The whole patronage and controiil of Hie new settlement was offered to the government. The projectors asked nothing but the labour of the. convicts, under the direction of officers appointed by the Colonial- Office. They had no object ex- clusively of a private nature in view. '/ Tie plan was rational— it was economic— it was calculated to be beneficial as well to the convicts as to the government and the projectors. This proposition, however, was not listened to. It did not receive even that courteous attention which an able and faithful servant of his country had a right to expect at the hands of Sir George Murray and the government. ' Ihe scheme was not entertained ; and for two or three months it was believed that the whole project of forming a settlement on the Swau River had been abandoned. But, after a short lapse, it was announced iu the newspapers that a Mr. Thomas Peel had received a grant of certain lands on the banks of the river in question. Every one asked, who is Mr. Thomas Peel ? Have the Peels not had enough? Do they grasp at acres on both hemispheres? Must we have a Peel in every office— in every colony— iu every ship— in every department of the Customs and Excise ? These were the questions which oblivious persons asked on the occasion; and not without reason ; tor it appears that the proposition of the original pro- jectors was declined in order to find a new field for the enterprise of this Mr. Thomas Peel, who is a near relation of the right honourable the member for West bury. This person is well known in Man. Chester an. l other places. But he had to h i provided f r, as all the family have been, even to the degree of 10th consulships, by the gifts of the crown. Mr. T. Peel was therefore declared King of the Swan River settlement. He has received - 250,( 100 acres, 011 condition that he shall reside three years on the spot, and carry out. a certain number of scttl ' i v. But how docs Mr. Peel act ? Does he offer to carry out, at his own expense, any settlers ? Not he, poor man. He could as soon afford to carry out the Monument, and the largest steam- factory in Lancashire entire. He has 110 wealth to wastn in any such foolery, and if he hud he would net waste it 011 the other side of the Cape. But what does he do? He offers slices of his laud lo certain persons at a certain price, and he, of course, pockets their price. He says to A. B. " 1 can give you a thousand acres at a pound sterling per acre, provided you carry out thirty persons." A. IL accepts the offer— engages lo carry out the pre- scribed number— aud Mr. Peel reeeivis Ihe honest thousand pounds; This is the Peel mode of colon, izing Ihe world. This is the way to provide a good thing for a cousin. This is the best mode of per- forming the part of a king — who can sell the soil he has never seen— aud turn into gold the broad acres which lie has never set his foot upon. If this be not a job, there never was a job in this world. BORROWING.— From a New York Paper.— The piece which recently appeared in your paper signed " A Lender," has done much good. Several neigh, bours have'since found things which they supposed were lost, but which it now appears were lent only a long time since. When I first read the article " A Lender" I thought it was personal, aud start, ' ug suddenly from my chair, " scoundrel," said I, who has been writing about me? I'll go to the printer, and find out the author, and give him a severe eastigation. " I'll, I'll, Russell Jarvis him." I caught my hat, aud started for the printing office. My good woman " wondered what made the man act so," it being one of her peculiar expressions on such occasions. On reaching the out door, 1 met neighbour Slack's ruddy faced, flaxen headed urchin. " Mister," said he," here is your breaking up hoe and hand- saw that father borrowed of you last fall. Father says, you have been writing at him in the newspaper about it." Bent on my purpose of revenge, I hastened along, struck half dumb with what the hoy had said. 1 had not gone far before I saw Squire Stingy pass along with a wheelbarrow. My eye followed hint; he ran it up close to a house, and then cried out, " Here, old Testy, is your wheelbarrow, take it, aud keep it to yourself, and be hanged to yon, but be careful you never get that printer to abuse me again." " Thinks 1 to myself," it would perhaps be as well for me to haul in my job, and tack about, aud see how matters stand with me at home. I did so, search was made, many things were found on my premises that did not belong to me. 1 sent Tabitha home with the borrowed books. Luna w as off wilh Mrs. Purblind's spectacles, that 1 borrowed four weeks ago at church to find the hymn. Rosa hasted away w ith Madame Goodlive's sausage machine. John shout, dered Mr. Farmwell's plough, which had lain out all winter. 1 carried back Parson Holdforth's Bible Concordance, and neighbour Stonecutter's crowbar and drills. As I was going on sweeping my premises of these borrowed articles, the words " Alas! it was borrowed," more than once rose to my lips, and conscience, now for tli" first tima awakened to the subject, urged me on so rapidly that I did not again once think of tweaking- Iho printer's nose, or of flogging " A Lender." 1 de- termined never to b irrow but when it was abso. lately necessary, audio return the article when I have done using it. Such, sir, is the succinct history, and such the firm resolution of one who has hereto- fore been negligent ol'daty.

SALOPIAN JOURNAL. AND COURIER OF WALES, HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY, DUTIES ON 1HALT Mr. WODEHOUSE suggested to the Chancellor of fhe Exchequer a mode by which, he thought, the misunderstandings at present existing between the government and maltsters might he removed. It was — that any three of the principal officers of the excise should be deputed by Ministers to confer with three maltsters, to be elected by the whole body, and the recommendations agreed to by the six. persons to be acted op< m— The CHANCELLOR tif the EXCHEQUER fctitf^ that fhe proposition was one which he was not disinclined to adopt hut should it be acted upon, he beggetl it to lie understood that the recommendations Of tile deputies cculd be considered as binding only in practical matters, and flot with respect to other im- portant considerations. MR. 0' C » NSti, L. On the motion of the day being read for,' the re- sumption Of the debate on the motion that a new writ be issued for the election of a Member for the county of Clare, The SOLICITOR GENERA! said, that in conse- quence of what had been remarked respecting the uiflic& Hietf attending the question, he should with- draw his original motion, and substitute for it the following " T hat the speaker do issue his warrant to the t lerk of the Crown in Ireland to issue a new writ, subject to tbe provisions of the recent Statute for the Relief of the Roman Catholics, for the election © fa Member to serve in the present parliament for tbe county of Clare." The Hon and- Learned Gent, added, that in the course he had adopted he meant no harshness or hostility. Mr. O'Connell had called for the discussion, ar. d it would be unworthy of him ( the Solicitor General) if on such an occasion he had not honestly discharged his duty. He was anxious only to pursue the preceding usages and rules of the house. Mr. SPRING RICE moved as an amendment, " that leave be given to bring in a bill to amend the laws which relate to the Oaths administered to Members of Ihe House of Commons professing the Roman Catholic religion."— After some debate, though not of an im- portant character, in which Lord Morpeth, General Gascoyne, Mr. Golborne, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Littleton, Lord Nugent, Sir James Mackintosh, Mr. XV. Horton, Mr. Peel, and Mr. Brougham, took part, Mr. Rice withdrew his amendment, and the motion of the Solicitor General was agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. The attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was called by Mr. WARBURTON to what he con- sidered an evasion of the act for the suppression of small notes— viz. the issue of bills of exchange from one to live pounds, not post dated, and payable twenty- one days after endorsement. The CHANC I, LOH of the EXCHI QU' R in reply, stated that notes of the kind had been submitted to hint for inspection ; but that he had every reason to believe they would fiave no effect as substitutes for the suppressed one And two pound notes. Should, however, it appear that the stamp composition act enabled parties to evade the law referred to, he should have no hesita- tion in moving its repeal. The House afterwards went into a committee of • upply on the Irish Estimates. Various grants were made, and among others that for the Catholic College of Maynooth, after a division of 118 to 14. The further consideration of Mr. Slaney's Bill to declare and amend the law relating to the employ- ment and payment of able- bodied labourers from the Poor Rates, and for the better rating tenements under a certain annual value, was deferred until next Session. The French Papers of Saturday inform us that the Queen of Spain died on the { 7th inst. This is the third consort whom Ferdinand has lost, and her death seems to have been as sudden and unexpected as that of her predecessors, who both perished, like her, in the flower of their age, and with scarcely a day's illness. Tiie late Queen was a Princess of Saxony, and had not reached her 20th year, having been born tbe 8th of . December, 1803, and married the 20th of October, 1819, before she was quite sixteen. The Si. I etersburgh Gazette expects that the Turks in Asia will oppose a large force to the Russians tinder General Paskewitsch. The Emperor and Empress of Russia set out for Warsaw on the 7th. No mention is made of the time when his Majesty means to join his army, or whether he means to join it at all. Tbe Turks seem not to be behind hand in taking every step necessary to enter upon the campaign with vigour. The new Grand Vizier has taken up a position near Varna. The Sultan was to proceed about the end of the last month to Iiarabournou with the Standard of the Prophet. An article from Con- stantinople of the 25th of April, confesses that the Turks have failed in their attacks upon Sizeboli, but adds that the Russians, as we stated some time ago, have been repulsed with loss in their attempt upon Misivria, a port to the northward of Bourgas. But tbe most important part of the Constantinople intelligence relates to affairs in Asia. There have been several engagements near Erzeroum, in which the Russians have been defeated. About the beginning of April, 4,000 Russians attempted to debark near Trebisond, but were compelled to re- embark with great loss. Several of their transports were taken. No business of general interest was transacted in the House of Lords this evening.— In the House of Commons, a motion of Mr. C. Grant, for equalizing the duties on East and West India Sugars, was re- jected by a majority of 98 to 60. The South Salopian Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Colonel the Viscount Clive, assembled in this town yesterday, for eight days' per- manent duty. In the House of Commons, on Friday, SirRowi. AVD HILL, Bart, presented a petition from the ironmasters of Shropshire, praying that the trade to India thight be thrown open.— The petition was further supported by Mr. CRESSETT PELHAM. On the same evfehing, " the Right Hon C. W. W. WYNN presented a petition from the inhabitants of Oswestry, praying for facilities in the recovery of small deb's. A grant of nearly £ 9000 for the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth, was proposed by Ministers in the House of Commons on Friday night, and carried aftcra division of lis to 14— Mr. CuEssETf PELHAM voted in the minority against this grant. An Adjourned General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the Count} of . Salop, was held on Saturday last, before Thomas Pembcrton, Esq. ( Chairman), Thomas Harries, Esq. and the Rev. Charles Leicester when Hannah Thomas, indicted for secreting the birth of her bastard child, at Adderley, on the 16th of April last, pleaded guilty to the charge, and, having been in gaol from the last Sessions, and receiving a very good character from her master, was sentenced to a further imprisonment of one week e> nly.— It appeared from the depositions, that the child was still- born and not come to its full time.— The parties prosecuting liail attended at the last Sessions, but in consequence of their understanding that the case would not be brought on before Tues- day, they did not arrive in Shrewsbury until that day : and the Grand Jury having been discharged on the Monday, they were too late to go to trial.

We have arrived at the second act of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. O'Connell ha « addressed the Clare electors in a letter which ( says the Standard) gives a full con- firmation of all that we have been saying for years, of the utter impossibility of settling the question by any other means than by yielding on one side a full ascendancy to popery ; or, on the other, firmly re. fusing not only concession, but any thing that might lead to concession. Bot, let us ace how far ( he question is settled. Mr. O'Connell's letter will furnish the first part of the schedule of still unredressed grievances, and we may be sure that the ' ! repealed. must be party whom that gentleman repre • ents, ready still « alia mandaturi cum ha> e provc- nissent," have three or more chapters in reserve, even • hould the matters detailed in this be adjusted to the letter of their command. First— Mr. O'Conncll says that he has been " ille- gally and unjustly deprived of his seat." This, we presume, is to attune the Clare men to Ihe conciliation key. He then congratulates them upon having " con- quered Wellington and converted Peel," in order to impress them w ith a due sense of their own power and importance, and to urge them forward in the cour- e, crowned by this conquest and conversion. And, as a further stimulant, assures them that it is but lo gain " another such victory, and the POLITICAL FREEDOM of Ireland is achieved." Thus inculcating the opiuie u that the men whom he addresses are stifl debarred of political freedom, that is, that they are now in a state of slavery. The learned candidate next recites, In detail, a few of the shackles which it is his purpose to remove, and the removal of which is to consummate the achieve- ment of " POLITICAL FREEDOM" for Ireland. The franchise must be restored to the i0s. free- holder. This is to be done by what is now familiarly called " agitation"— as Mr. O'Connell says, by ing popular feeling too strong for the oligi rehy." The illegality of Mr. O'Connell's exclusion must be demonstrated, and, we presume, confessed, by the parliament which has done the wrong. After which ( says Mr. O'Conncll) The Sub- letting Act must be repc; Also the Vestry Acts A reduction of Church Rales. The property of Roman Catholics and Protestant dissenters assigned to charitable uses must be pro- tected. 1 The law against monastic institutions repealed. Also the law against the religious orders of the Church of Rome, chiefly for the sake of the jesuits. The Erst India Company's Charter must be abo- lished— the Pariahs must be emancipated. The property of the Established Church must be distributed between " the poor on the one hand, and the most meritorious and really laborious portion of the Protestant clergy on the other, by operating to the deprivation of at least part of the enormous wealth of the pampered and over- paid pluralists und dignitaries." Mr. O'Connell then gets into free trade nnd political economy, but it does not belong to him auv more than to others of the race of mankind to exhibit himself clearly in that dark and hopeless medium ; and we have given in all conscience enough of after- claps for a question « happily settled just a month and a day ago." The question now i « , are those points too to be yielded or to be withheld ? To those who think that they ought to be yielded, we have nothing to say ; but if there are any who think that Mr. O'Connell is going a little too fast, we would suggest that it were well to reflect upon the means and mode of the meditated resistance.— 1The Papists of Ireland have been negotiated with and submitted to, not only as an independent but as a victorious nation, by'the present ministers. It is idle, therefore, to expect that a government constituted like the present, and committed to the truckling policy, can effectually use an hostile oppo- ni'lnn. No : they confess that thev have but two resources of state policy— to cheat or to submit.; and ns Mr. O'Connell has truly said, « Men who are false to their own party can never be true to any other." Ministers are so well known to the papists that « cheating is out of the question"— submission is therefore the sole issue to be anticipated, without a total chanee in tbe structure and policy of the Cabinet Upon such a change, however, wc do not calculate.

SIR, Although I may differ with yon on some material points of your late speech; yet I give you great credit for your eloquent elucidatiem of the subject generally. Respecting the more general and improved cultivation of India cotton and tobacco, I am satisfied it may be done with considerable advantage, and in a few years render the importation of these necessary articles less dependant on the Americans of Georgia, Carolina, and Pennsylvania; or to this country being much longer subject to their oppressive tariff. Mirza- poor, about 40 miles above the city of Benares, is the grand entrepot for cotton from the Mahratta country. This place, in my early days, was an inconsiderable village; but from Bishop Hcber wc learn, it has become a city, and most important for its trade, in various branches. The great objection to, and cause of the deteriorated quality of India cotton is, that it is never divested of its seed ; but is packed up with all its impurities of dirt, & c. on very large boats, and embarked during the rainy season for Calcutta, sub- ject to the violence of the rains, which penetrate through the choppers or tbatcli roofs, as also to the carelessness of the boatmen, who seldom take much trouble to keep the bales dry. If a method were adopted to clean the cotton at Mirzapoor, where. s<> many Europeans reside as merchants or if premiums were offered for the separation of the seeds, dirt, & c. aud a greater attention paid in its transport to Cal- cutta, and medals offered for the more general culti- vation of cotton than hitherto, iu the Company's provinces, it would soon stimulate the native culti- vators to exertion; they only require an augmented demand ; for no people on the earth are more alive to their own interest when reward is held forth ; and as for bargaining, neither Baron Von Rothschild, nor any other Jew in London, can be more adroit; and as to capitalists, Calcutta and Benares have merchants and bankers far exceeding in wealth the richest in London city. Sugars also may be increased in the Benares Pro- vince to any extent demanded; but then, some regard for our West India planters of this essential article of comfort, should be evinced; the West India islands have been acquired and retained, at a vast expense of men and money ; most of the property in the several islands is heavily mortgaged ; and it is a well- known fact, that no planter clears 5 per cent,, by his industry. To prostrate these ancient cultivators by a nearly equalization of duties on tlicir sugar with that of the- Mauritius or Bengal, would utterly ruin them. They also encounter great difficulties' from the reproaches and prejudices of people in this country, who strangely and systematically seek for distant objects of charity and consideration, whilst these virtues might, be exerted daily at home :— Slavery has long been a fa vourite theme for comment in England, and has been shamefully misrepresented by designing public men. Tobacco also may be increased to any amount; tlie districts of Mausulipatam in the Carnatic, anel Bilsah in Agra province, are the most noted; but indeed every part of India is suited to the cultivation of the plant; and in packing it tip for exportation to Madras and Calcutta, I believe more attention will be required before it is finally embarked thence to England. But the new settlement on Swan River, from its fine climate and soil, together with its proximity to Java, Sumatra, the Malay Coast, and China, will, I am convinced, if properly encouraged, produce cot- ton, sugar, and tobacco in abundant; and it is but natural, as the Americans press so heavily by their tariff, that this country should exert her energies, and have these requisite articles from her own sub- jects. A view of the map will shew how admirably Swan River is situated for a constant communication with Calcutta, Madras, Singapore, China,' and ali In our Journal of the 16th July last, ive noticed the great improvements at that time made in the interior of this fine and venerable fabric, by and tinder the direction of its present minister and official, the Rev. W. Gorsuch Rowland, whose taste and liberality in every thing which tends to render our ecclesiastical structures more interesting anel commodious we have had repeated opportunities of noticing ; and wc have now to inform our readers, that the then contemplated ornamental improvements are in rapid progress; for within the last fortnight the ancient and beautifully proportioned triple- lancet windows, which adorn the north and south transepts, have been filled with stained glass of ( he most brilliant colours and elegant designs. The centre of the middle lancet in the north transept is occupied with the arms, & c. of that firm supporter of the Protestant Ascendancy, the great and good King George the Third, put up in March, 1821, at the expense of the late highly- esteemed Rev. J. B. Blakeway, " in testimony of his veneration for the memory of tbat excellent Prince,"* and then placed in the South ( ransept window, but very properly removed to its present situation on account of the chaste and elegant monument erected to the memory of the Rev. J. B. Blakeway by his parishioners, having been placed in that transept: above these arms is the figure of the Virgin Mary, and below St. Andrew. The dexter lancet window is occupied with the figures of St. Philip, St. Bartholo- mew, and St. James the son of Zebcelee, and the sinister with St. Simon, St. Thomas, and St. Matthias. At the bottom is the following inscription in Roman capitals: " IOANNES BRICKDALE BLAKEWAY A. M. HUJUS ECCLESI ® JUDEX OFFICIALIS ET MINISTER INSIGNIA RECIA P. C. ANNO MDCCCXX. RELIQUAM FENESTRA PARTEM EXORNAVIT EJUS VIDUA M. E. B. ANNO MDCCCXXIX. The centre lancet of the south transept window contains the figures of our Saviour, St. James the son of Alpheus, and St. Thadeus; in the dexter are those of St. Matthew the Evangelist, St. Paul, and St. Mark the Evangelist; and in the sinister those of St. John the Evangelist, St. Peter, and St. Luke. Underneath this window is " GULIELMUS GORSUCH ROWLAND A. M. HUJK8 ECCLES1. K JUDEX OFFICIALIS ET MINISTER HANC FENESTRAM FAC1ENDAM CURAVIT ANNO 1829. The two windows contain upwards of four hundred square feet of glass; the figures are all full length, within ovals; at the foot of each is a label containing the name in Latin, and most of the individuals repre- sented have their peculiar insignia; whilst all are executed in a styie superior, as some think, even to the previous masterly productions of the artist, Mr. L>. Evans, of this town, whose splendid performances certainly entitle him to rank in the very first class of his profession, and of whose talent anel taste, as ex- hibited in the figures and the designs by which they are surrounded, these windows will, wc hope, long remain a beautiful memorial. They will at the same time hand down to future generations the names of those beneficent and praiseworthy' individuals at whose expense so much talent has been drawn forth — this noble and beautiful church been so greatly improved — and so splendid an example been set to all those who belong to the established church, and possess the means, to ga and do likewise in their respective neighbourhoods. * To the Arms, & c. of his late Majesty is attached this inscription:— GEO. 111.

FL: XIULE. - Several of the old admirers of this celebrated horse being anxious to see him in . Shrew s- bury, the proprietor has arranged that he may be sceii at Ihe George Inn, on Saturday next. Arrived at Chester, yesterday, from Dublin, the ship Amelia and Hannah, with a cargo of Guinness and Co.' s Porter, for their Agent, R. Jones, of Shrews- bury. All Inquest was held in this town, on Monday last, before George Wingfield, Gent. Coroner, on view of Ihe body of Mr. Jiunes Die- ken, found near the first mile- stone on the road leading to VVestbury, about four o'clock on Sunday morning last. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Dicken left Shrewsbury about eleven o'clock on Saturday night last, on horseback, on his way to Bromlow, and was rather fresh in liquor: the marc on which he started, must subse- quently have thrown him, and dragged him some little way by the stirrup, as, when he was found, there* were marks of bruises anel kicks about his head and neck, from the effects of which, there can be no doubt, death ensued, as he must have been dead some hours before the body was seen in the road : the mare arrived at Copthorn Gate about a quarter past eleven on Saturday night, and was detained there by the keeper.— The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased fell from the mare, and received divers wounds and bruises on his head and neck, which caused his death — deodand on the mare 5s. In the night, of Monday lust, the house of Mr Ruscoe, saddler, High Street, in this tow n, was broken into and robbed of a quantity of plate ( see Advert. J and about £ 50 in cash notes.— There can be no doubt that the robbers were well acquainted with the premises, and aware that tne house was left that night without an occupant, the servant having gone at about nine o'clock to attend Mrs Ruscoe, who was ill in the country.— Access was obtained through the shop- door, and every drawer, & c. in the house was completely rifled.— it is most probable the- parties took the opportunity of ingress and egress while the watchman stationed in that vicinity went his round. Committed to our County Gaol, William Muns- low, charged with stealing a silver watch, value five pounds, the property of William Burghall, of Ken- Aick; William Bromley, charged with stealing a wether sheep, the property of George Heath, of Sutton ; and John Graham, charged with stealing three ducks and tine drake, the property of Benjamin Bromley, of Hencott. other places within the Indian Archipelago; therefore there can be no doubt as to its speedily becoming a most important place. The true policy and spirit of trade is, for one country to be beholden to another by regular exchange of produce ; and tbe Americans may regret, when too late, a tariff' which already presses heavily against their commercial men; it only requires the usual exertions of Englishmen to make Swan River a place of great importance, and the more who embark for that fine climatc instead of America, the better for the sccond generation. I am happy to observe, that various documents w ill be prepared against the next Session of Parlia- ment fur tlie information of the members, when the grand question of free trade will be fully discussed and better understood. One thing at present is most evident, tbat all European articles are to be had much cheaper at the Cape, Mauritius, Madras, Ben- gal, Calcutta, and Bombay, than in any part of Eng- land ; how long this may continue remains to be seen. Many, many exporters have been ruined ; and cap- tains and other officers of ships, who had their little adventures, now sell their tonnage as the safer alter- native. Cotton factories and steam- engines have, I hear, been erected iu Bengal, and as operatives tan he selected in any numbers at 2d. per diem, what manufacturers in Kngl. md can compete with those of India ? the people in England have been mad in over production of all sorts; and such is now the acknow- ledged inferiority of all British goods, tbat foreigners are become cautious in their dealings with our mer. chants; added to which, all people on the Continent — in France, Germany, Switzerland, and Holland— arc suddenly become as expert in fabricating cottons and silks, as they are at Manchester and Nottingham ; steam- engines have been erected every where, so that Ihe whole arcana of machinery is as well understood on tbe Continent as in England. It was, you may recollect, the favourite theme of Mr. Hume, some years ago, to promote the exportation of machinery ; and the result will be ruinous to Lancashire, Glasgow, and Nottingham. I repeat my hope, that by the next Session you will have cff'ccted a deep investigation of the import- ant question; that you will consult well informed men, on both sides the question, and not be governed by the ill judged communications of Mr. Bucking- ham, or the specious reasoning of Mr. Rickards, as 1 do not consider them to be competent judges on this great national question ; and among your 659 mem- bers, how few are there inclined to attain a complete acquaintance with India affairs! Is this not true !!! 1 have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, AN OLD INDIAN. P. S. If Singapoor could be made the receiving port for tea from China, it would be most desirable : it could be brought there in Chinese junks ; but them would the quality be so good ? The Company, 1 believe, often send back rejected teas from London They arc also compelled to have a year's consump- tion* laying in their warehouses. Could private mer- chants bear such advance of stock and consequent loss?— It is not a little curious K> observe the different courses of two of our Shropshire Members : one wish- ing to deluge the country with tea beverage; whilst the other complains of the great defalcation in beer, and the large consumption of spiritous poisons'.! * About thirty millions of puuuils.

GREENWOOD & Co. v.

ROYAL ACADEMY.— The Exhibition this year at Somerset House fur exceeds many of its predecessors in the display of paintings. Although, as our Metro- politan Correspondent informs us, the local interest exciteel in the minds of Salopians in former years, hy the names and productions of the Messrs. CARLINF. and Mr. CORBETT in this splendid collection of the works of art, met with a disappointment on the present occasion, wc arc gratified to find that our native Artist, Mr. P. BROWN, has again employed his pencil with much advantage in a truly rural " Scene at Ufftngton— Gleaners returning— Shrews- bury in the distance." " View of Snowdon and the Lake near Capel Curig." " Cottage on the summit of Haghmond Hill," including a portion of the plain of Shropshire, bounded by Shrewsbury and its aspiring steeples, with the blue mountains of Cambria in the distance. These display throughout the most fertile imagination, and may be considered as some of Mr. Brown's happiest productions. Mr. Joseph Weston, of this town, is appointed a Commissioner for taking Special Bail in the several Courts of King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Ex- chequer, for the counties of Salop, Montgomery, Derby, Stafford, and Chester, and the cities of Lich field and Chester, and counties of the same cities.

The St. Petersburg Gazette gives the following acbonnt, dated 21th April:— On the lltli April three detachments of Turks crossed to tbe left bank of the Danube, into Little Wallachia, at the villages of Zigaulet and Dessa, and into the village of Rasta. At the first two points they were repulsed without any loss on onr side. At Dessa, in a sharp skirmish with the Cossacks, the Turks had 15 killed and wounded, and three Cossacks were killed. The attack of the enemy upon the village of Rasta was more serious. About 500 men who crossed from the Turkish side in 10 boats, landed and marched direct to Rasta. I- ieutenant Pawlowski, who was stationed there with a company of musketeers, formed his 150 men into a small square, advanced to meet the enemy, and after having received some vollies from them charged them with the bayonet, and put them to flight. During the action 41 Turks were killed, and 22 taken prisoners, among whom was the com- mander Hassan Effendi, linan of the mosque of Loma. Lieutenant Pawlowski, closely pursuing the enemy, reached his boats, and took four of them ; six others stink with the people in them. We had one non- commissioned oflicer and two privates, killed, and 25 wounded. According to the latest accounts from Major- General Wachlen, who commands the troops in Sizeboli, the enemy had not repeated his attacks up to the 18th of April. The new redoubts have been completed, and afford perfect security to the fortress. The Foreign arrivals of Saturday comprise the Paris journals of Thursday and German papers to the date of the 16th inst. Their contents are not of importance. A report prevailed at Odessa, that Erzerouni had been taken by the Russians, but there is strong reason to doubt the authenticity of the statement. The auxiliary force which the Pacha of Egypt is to send to the Turkish army in Asia, was to commence its march from Cairo about the middle of April. It is to consist of twelve thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry. The Turks appear to be deriving important supplies through the instrument- ality of Austria. The Emperor of Russia was ex- pected to issue an important declaration previously to the active opening of the campaign. FOR BILIOUS COMPI. AINTS, INDIGESTION, ANO HABITUAL COSTIVENK8S, DR.

The Dantzig letters state that every diligence was using to bring down the produce of Poland, and the transport was seconded by a most rapid current in the Vistula. The breaking up of the ice in that river had caused immense destruc- tion in its course by overflowing the banks and marshes from the border to its mouth, which pre- vented the grain having the usual benefit of turning in the open air, aud most of the corn was consequently sold in the state ill which it arrived. It was generally in poor condition ; and a good deal of old grain was buying to mix w ith it, and make it tit for shipping By the end of the present month it was expected the whole of the year's supply would have come to market, and the terms would in all probability be very low, from the want of money among the holders. A good deal, however, depended on the wants of France, which, in fact, have for some time prevented tiie decline which, but for the demand forthat countrv, would ere this have taken place. Should the inquiry for grain for the French market not decrease, it is by no means thought improbable but the price will be kept at its present figure. The accounts from Amsterdam state, that wheat continued to be sought after, anil the opinion there was that the wants of France were great, w hich was ill some measure supported by the price continuing on the advance in all the markets throughout that country. It was apprehended that before the harvest a similar scarcity would be felt in Holland. The Rotterdam markets were looking up in conse- quence of the exports to France, and orders from that country continued to arrive. The Hamburgh letters anticipate the stocks in the uplands will be fast decreasing, although at the present moment good supplies are in the market. The cold- ness of the weather threatened serious injury to the summer corn. It was estimated, that at least four fifths of the last year's harvest had been exported, The reports from Brabant, the Upper Country, Holstein, and Mecklenburg, were favourable, as re gards the plants, and those from East Friesland and Jeverland averred the prolific appearance of the crops. The Arnheim accounts of the 13th inst. inform us, that, the grain of the present year looked well in the fields, but the stock of wheat had been sensibly re- duced, in consequence of the exports to France. From all these advices it will appear, that the quantity of grain exported from the Continent to France has been very large; yet the accounts from the French provinces almost universally give the markets as firm. At Brest and its environs there was a very short sup- ply, at Rouen, notwithstanding twenty vessels were in the river laden with grain, wheat had advanced, the whole of these cargoes having been sold in advance. At Sens, Reuel, Meanx, Dunkirk, Donrdan, Landenaw, Chartres, Chatelheraults, and throughout Normandy, the price of wheat was looking upwards or had risen. Sir. O'Connell has drawn up an address to the freeholders of Clare, announcing bis intention of becoming a candidate for the now vacant seat for that county. The Earl of Mountcharles, it is said, means to oppose the re- election of the late member. A flying stationer was, last week, heard, at Liver- pool, to utter the following eulogium on a catch- penny publication which he was vending in the streets:—" Here is the grand and noble speech of Daniel O'Connell, made on Monday last to hot It Houses of Parliament, m which he proved, in defiance of all the lawyers in the united kingdom, that he had a right to sit for the county of Clare, in that house, ever since the time of Queen Anne." On Monday se'nnight, a meeting of the Inhabitants of the City and County of Hereford was held at the New Shire- hall, Hereford, for the purpose of " doing away with the cruel practice of employing Climbing Boys" in sweeping Chimnies; when resolutions were entered into, and an Association formed to carry the humane objects of the meeting into effect. The Corporation of Bristol have it in contemplation to erect a Chain Pier forthwith at Portishead, near the entrance of the Avon, by which means steam vessels will be enabled to land passengers at all times of tide within five miles of the city. To shorten the distance between Bristol and Portishead, a chain sus- pension bridge is immediately to be thrown over the Avon, somewhere near Clifton Hot Wells: and it is expected that the largest ships will be able to pass under this lofty structure without lowering a mast. O'CoNNFLl, AND THE MAYOR OF CHESTER.— As the case of Mr. O'Connell was individual and not peculiar, and could not, as he observed, serve for a precedent binding the House prospectively ; and as there also existed doubts respecting the right of the House to exclude him, we wish they had given him the benefit of that doubt; and that they had, like a sapient Mayor of Chester, " winked at" his taking his seat; and thus have spared the patience of the country, the time of Parliament, and the money of Mr. O'Connell's friends. We have not, just at this moment, access to Mr. Ryley's entertaining Itinerant, in which, if we are not much mistaken, the story is told. Lee Lewis was, we believe, the gentleman who applied to the Mayor of Chester for permission to give some comic readings. The Mayor consulted with his Recorder, who told him that although he could not give the applicant express permission, he might " wink at him." Upon this hint, when Mr. Lewis called for the Mayor's answer, he was not a little astonished to see his worship winking his eye in a most singular and ludicrous manner. Mr. Lewis renewed his application— still a nod and a wink was the only answer he could obtain. At length he re- spectfully requested to know the meaning of those strange signs— to which the Mayor replied, " Don't you see 1 wont give you permission expressly, but I can wink at you." " Thank your honour," said Lee Lewis, " the Mayor's permission here is, I perceive, ' alt'my eye?" Now we think that the Speaker of the House of Commons might as well have " winked at" O'Connell's taking his seat.— Liverpool Mercury. STATE OF TRADE.— There appears to have been an improvement in business this week. For most descriptions of calicoes an increased demand has been made, especially for low descriptions of hand loom cloth. In the prices, however, there is no improve- ment; in some cases, indeed, they have been lower than those of last week. Several holders of large stocks of power- loom cloth, who had declined to sell in the expectation of an improvement in price, from the turn- outs and other causes, have been induced to make sales at considerably reduced priccs, no prospect appearing of an advance. Fustians have had rather an increased demand. The demand for water twist continues good, and the prices are steady ; but mule' twist has been dull of sale, at rather a reduction in prices. The demand for goods for the foreign market appears to be somewhat improved; but in that for home consumption no alteration has occurred. The two great fairs at Leipsic and Frankfort, have been well attended, and a considerable quantity of British goods has been disposed of at both of them A great sensation has been excited in the town this week by the failure of an extensive London House in the East India trade, that has had large dealings with many respectable merchants here.— Manchester Chronicle. CORPORATION OF LUDLOW.— Vex v. Setlwey. In the Court of King's Bench on Tuesday, Lord Tenterden, in giving the judgment of tbe Court in this case, stated that it was an information in the nature of a quo warranto, calling on the defendant to shew by what right he claimed to hold and exercise the oiHce of Common Councilman of the Borough of Lutllow, in Salop The first question depended on the construction of the Charter of Elizabeth, in which it was expressly provided, that the Common Council- men should be clected from persons who should be burgesses and inhabitants of Ludlow. The defend- ant was a burgess, but not an inhabitant, and he was elected a Common Councilman, and the question arose, whether his election was authorised by the Charter, and the Court was of opinion that it was not. Then the second question was, whether the usage and practice of electing burgesses, whether inhabit- ants or not, ought not to govern the construction of the Charter; and the Court were of opinion that it ought not, for although usage might govern the construction in doubtful eases, it could not where it was a clear violation of the express words of the Charter, and in this respect this case differed from that relative to the Corporation of Chester, where fhe Charter gave a mere power of authority, and not a positive direction, as in this case ; and then in that case it was only the refusal of a mandamus, leaving the parties to their quo warranto, under which the matter might he brought before a Court of Review, which, in the case of a mandamus, it could not. Then came the third question, whether the Charter of Restoration, by William and Mary," after the surren- der of the Charter of Elizabeth lo Charles the Second, did not set up the usage which certainly had existed under pretext of the Charter of Elizabeth, that Charter of Restoration having expressly set up and rendered valid such usages and practices as had prevailed under pretext of anv law or charter. • The Court were of opinion that the Words of the Charter of Restoration, w hich had been quoted, applied only to the doubtful and minor points, nnd not to cases where usage was a clear contravention of the original charter. On the whole, the Court was ( jf opinion that the judgment of the Court of Commbn Pleas ( from which this case was brought by a writ of error), ought to be affirmed. FRAUD.— On Friday and Saturday, n number of shopkeepers, at Liverpool, were defrauded hy a per- son pretending to be a letter- carrier, with a quantity of letters in his hand, delivering them and receiving Ihe postage. Some of the letters, so delivered, had the stamp of " Dublin" upon them, and the fellow received Is. 6d. each ; but, on inspection, they were found to he impositions. On application at the post- office the parties could obtain no redress, the letters not having passed through it. The man was, we hear, apprehended on Saturday afternoon, and lodged in Bridewell. " FREE TRADE TO INDIA.— Mr. Whitmore on Friday brought under the consi ' eration of the House of Commons the question of opening the trade with India. We have no wish lo commit ourselves by offering any absolute opinion upon a question which, as far as we see at present, must be decided altogether upon grounds of expediency. IT is true the East India Company is greatly culpable, for the indifference which it has manifested to religion and morals; but we do not find any pledge of promoting the moral or religious improvement of the people involved in the projected schemes of India reform. The question is, therefore, as far as regards the highest considerations a perfectly open queslion, and as such we would treat it. In this view we would say, that as in all matters affecting the destruction of existing institutions, " semper presumitur pro neganti," and we think the movers of the new system arc bound to show, not merely that present commercial advantages will result from it, but also that no political evils are to be apprehended. Assuming what has not yet been formally denied, that it is desirable to retain the sovereignty of India even at the sacrifice of some present, commercial gain, the friends of the company have a right, we think, to insist upon being satisfied on the following points:— Can there be a free trade without free colonization ? Will not a free colonization of British subjects upon a co t rent of great extent necessarily demand free institutions ? Will not such free institutions necessarily generate faction, and ultimately lead to a war against the mother- country ? Must not such a war end in separation ? May not this process be anticipated by the jealous hostility which will necessarily arise from the intrusion of colonists into a country, the whole landed property of which is held by natives differing from them in race, manners, colour, language, and religion, and having by no means any identity of interest? These are queries to be answered by some reasoncr of a higher order than any who has lately treated of the subject.— St. James's Chronicle. It is now under consideration of the Government, whether or no it would be serviceable to tbe public to hold a perpetual Sessions at the Old Bailey. The expedient has been suggested by some of the most able and experienced authorities— by men who are constantly in the habit of witnessing the dreadful effects of associating together the old plunderer aud the youthful delinquent. Great crimes are to be tried at the accustomed periods, but the Recorder and the Deputy Recorder, who have comparatively nothing to do, will, it is proposed, preside one day in each week throughout the year to try all delin- quencies of minor atrocity. DREADFUL FIRE.— Another of these calamities, which within the last month or two have been of so frequent occurrence, took place on Thursday night. For some years past, however, a greater destruction of human beings has rarely occurred. Not less than seven individuals, in the space almost of as many minutes, fell victims to the flames. The fire broke out shortly after twelve o'clock at night in the house of a furniture broker, named Pick, near the Roman Catholic Chapel, in the London Road ; and such was the amazing rapidity of the flames, that out of about ten inhabitants of the house three only were saved. The conservatory at Sion House, the seat of the Duke of Northumberland, will be the most magnifi- cent thing of the sort in Europe. The great central dome rises to an altitude of nearly seventy feet, and is now completed. It is of plate glass, and the total cost will exceed £ 10,000. Miss Foote is about to terminate her theatrical career where she commenced it— ou the Plymouth stage. She is to appear on the 1st of June, and after performing a few nights takes leave of tiie stage for ever. The latest accounts- from Naples represent Mount Vesuvius as being again in a state of eruption, vomit- ing flames of fire, accompanied with stones, to the height of 600 feet. Mr. G. Green made his 68th ascent last week from Colchester. Ill the Court of King's Bench, on Thursday, Robert Osborne was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for having produced forged letters and documents to fhe Apothecaries Company, in order to obtain hi. certificate. Four Manchester rioters were tried on Saturday, at Salford Session. One was sentenced to seven veaiV transportation ; two to twelve, and one to six months' imprisonment. Mr. Blakeslev, a young man, in his 21st year, was drowned while bathing in the river near Trowbridge, on Tuesday. Mr. B.' sdcath was almost instantaneous — the effect of paralysis, caused by the extreme cold- ness of the water which came suddenly in contact with Mr. B.' s heated body — Ou the same day, a similar accident occurred ot Keynsham. j when Mr. Grigg, apprentice to . Mr. Edwards, surgeon, of that plaTTe, was drowned. In consequence of the execution, on the 11th ult. of a fellow of the name of Patrick Macgrath, who was tried for firing at a gentleman, with the intent to murder, a conspiracy has been discovered at Done- raile, amongst fifty or sixty persons, to murder every magistrate in the county who might become obnoxious to them. There are twenty- two of these wretches in custody. The project for opening a regular communication with India by steam, is going on with every pSispect of success. We learn that the stock of grain at Liverpool which amounted at. the beginning of the year to 130,000 quarters, was estimated on Saturday last to amount to 80,000 quarters. A grand review is shortly to take place on Hounslow Heath. Lord Hill, we hear, intends to re- organize the w hole of the cavalry, and introduce a new svstem of drilling, similar to tliatof the French, previously to the review. We have heard that the review is to take place on the 18th of June Brighton Gazette. Captain Sir Edward Parry, R. N. the celebrated Polar navigator, has accepted proposals made to him by the Australian Agricultural Company, aud goes out ill June, as commissioner of that association, to Port Stephens, about ninety miles northward of Sidney, the capital of New South Wales. Of course this will occasion a vacancy in the office of Hvdro- grapher to the Admiralty, which will probably be filled by that very able surveyor, Captain William Fitzwilliam Owen, R. N. elder brother of Rear Admiral Sir E. Oiven, Commander- in- Chief upon tha East India station. Captain Sir Edward Parry re- ceives from the Australian Company £ 20( 10 per annum for four years, with a pension of £ 300 for life after the expiration of that period of service. Lady Parry, daughter of Sir John Stanley, will ac company her husband lo Fori Stephens; and there can be little doubt bill the abilities, zeal, persever- ance, moderation, firmness, and moral example of Sir Edward, will prove highly beneficial to the Com- pany's interests iu that remote settlement.

" SIR,— The fugitive Stephenson, whom you will perhaps, ere Ibis reaches you, have been honoured w ith the sight of, has deposited in the hands of a Mr. merchant of this place, large stuns of Ex- chequer bills, fn Ihe hands of merchant, a sum of money in gold, and iu the bands of one Captain a further sum of gold, which money The following letter from a Persian Nobleman to R gentleman of rank in this country, dated Tabrecz ( or Tauris), contains the most authentic account of tbe massacre of the Russian Ambassador and his suite, that has yet been published in England, aud will doubtless prove highly interesting to our readers:— " Tubrcez, February 20, 1829. * C MY DEAR SIH,— Knowing you lo be much in tcresled in Persian affairs, and a circumstance of great political importance having occurred Tehran ten days ago, I thought I would have the pleasure to communicate it to you mySelf, and shall lie glad if it renders my letter acceptable to you. Mr. Grybydoif, the Russian Ambassador, wilh his suite and guard of Cossacs, in all I believe thirty- five people, left this place for the Court ofTehrun, about two months ago, cu a mission from Ihe Em- peror of congratulation to the King, on the late treaty of peace between this country and Russia. This treaty, which you have no doubt seen, grants a power to the subjects of the respective kingdoms to go lo and fro unmolested ; but the Ambassador on his way thought fit to collect all the Armenians Be could find, even such as were slaves in the time of Aga Mahmoud Khan. At Caobine he interfered in those matters so much as to give great oti'ence amongst the people, by punishing very severely a Mahomcdan who was the neighbour merely of a person lhat had bought an Armenian slave, of which he was accused of being the accessory, although he was perfectly guiltless; this excited the indignation of tbe people so much that he was seriously advised to depart, or they would not answer for his personal safety. Arrived at Tehran, every attention was paid him, a guard of honour being appointed him, and greater respect shown, I understand, than even to tbe splendid mission of General YermoulotF. But he chose to raise every possible grievance respect, iiig those claims of the Armenian and Georgian subjects. The King's F. onnch, Aga Yhacoub formerly an Armenian, but now a Mahomcdan more than twenty years, having plundered the King to the amount of forty or fifty thousand tomau- ns, fled to the Russian Ambassador's for refuge, and he protected him against Ihe claims of the King, and in contempt of his authority. He also granted re- fuge lo two Armenians who had murdered a Ma hoincdau; but even Ihi3 the government overlooked, and compromised the affair with the relatives of the deceased. Many other instances I could name of his interfering in the affairs of the Georgians and Armenians, even in contempt of the Persian Govern- ment ; amongst others he required two Armenian women being given up to liiui belonging to Allaya Khan, who Were formerly Turkish slaves, brought from Van during Ihe last war between this country nnd Turkey: these women did not seek his protec- tion, bul ou the contrary wished lo remain al Tehran, bul he chose to consider them as Armenian subjects, and that they should return to their country. The King remonstrated, and even con- descended to send the women to the Ambassador's residence, under the charge of one of his Eunuchs, iu order that they might be questioned by him as to the fact alluded to ; but he refused lo question them iu the presence of Ihe Eunuch, whom he very ill- treated nud sent away, detaining the women by force, and contrary to the King's orders.— From what 1 can learn by the accounts already received, these women were treated very barbarously by tbe Russians; in the morning they made their escape, and rail through the streets crying aloud for vengeance; this excited the indignation of the populace, who advanced with menacing threats to the resilience of the Ambassador. His house was then protected by about a hundred of the King's Guards, and from twenty to thirty Cossacs. These were ordered to fire upon the populace, and they killed six men. This exasperated the mob to the greatest height; the bodies of these men were then exposed iti six different Mosques, and the Moolahs excited the people to fury, calling- upon them for revenge ou the murderers. The populace was llien increased to about fliiity thousand, inflamed bv strong religious feeling of Ibe sacrifice of six MitssulniCti by the Muscovite Infidels; nothing could stem their vtige, and they went' forward re- solved upon their utter destruction. The King- in the mean lime hearing of Ihe tumult, ordered out two thousand of fhe troops, or Tonliosscs, to the rescue of Ihe Russians, and sent his son, Ali Shah,' to their personal assistance. The Prince, at the risk of his life, succeeded in saving one of the Ambas- sador's Secretaries and two Cossacs; with these ex- ceptions the whole of the llussiiws were massacred, the exact number of which I cannot ascertain,' but they are estimated lo be' thirty at least. Such was Ihe violence of the mob lhat to save young Maltzoff they were obliged to carry him in a box through the street for protection to the PaJace. MhGi'Vb'y- dofF, it is said, was killed by a blow from a stone on the temple; the people seeing him full, then rushed into the house and murdered every Russian they could meet with. This horrible event has caused great consternation in the two Governments, both here and at Tehran. The King lias sent to say that he will offer every indemnity to ' Russia which she may require for so horrible ail outrage, over which lie- had no confront, aud did his utmost to prevent. His Majesty overlooked many provocations of the Ambassador that nothing might occur to disturb the peace with Russia, and so tamely did he submit to them, that it excited great indignation amongst the people, and ' lis a general opinion that had the King gone into tbe midst of them during this insur- rection, they would have sacrificed him to their fury; as it was he was obliged to keep tbe door of his Ark* shut.— That the Russians brought upon themselves this horrid catastrophe there can be no doubt— not that this is offered as an excuse for one of the most barbarous and outrageous deeds which has ever disgraced the annals of Ibis or any other country. Messengers are immediately going off lo the Court of St. Petersburgh, and it will soon be seen what steps they take to revenge this outrage on the dignity of the Sovereign and the murder of his people; but i hope this deplorable event will not involve this country in any costly consequences, though the result of it can be by no menus anti- cipated. His Royal Highness is plunged iu the deepest grief on the occasion, and has ordered a general mourning amongst his people, and I never saw him so deeply afflicted. 1 had tbe honour of an audience with him yesterday, and mentioned my intention of writing to you, which be particularly wished mo lo do. You bad heard perhaps of his Royal Highncss's intention to visit St. Petersburgh this spring, which 1 need not say is for a time post- poned.— I am now looking towards England, and making my arrangements to depart for Constan- tinople, 1 hope in a mouth from this time; 1 an- ticipate then the honour of paying my respects to you personally. lie assured, my dear Sir, that I am • ' J lit- fortified | wrt of the Palace. I know they are rapidly converting into our currency should you wish to investigate this matter for the recovery of the said money, which I believe interests you, I willdirect you to the examination and evidence of a man residing 17 miles from the City, calling himself Dr. Garbcrt, who has confessed lo sundry individuals, that Stephenson told him ( hat, those persons were bis bankers at Savannah Whether you can come at, or recover fhe amount held by each individual in trust for Sfephensou, is a matter which you can heller determine; this much is certain, that these persons, together'with I. loyd, Stephenson's clerk, are lavishing large sums fo restore Stephenson I'', the soil of Georgia, from which he i- i said to have been abducted." COUN AVERAGES. [ FROM THE LIVERPOOL ALBION.] In the discussion on a petition presented on Friday week, from some mechanics in Manchester, touching fhe corn faws, Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald pointedly adverted to the very defective system under which the returns of corn were obtained, observing, that as fhe principle upon which these corn laws were founded was that of averages, by which the price was regulated, it was most desirable that those averages should be correctly struck. The honour- able member then gave ail instance of the fallacy of those returns, by showing that, in the week ending • 25th April, the return for Manchester was onlv 438 quarters, not being, in reality, the tenth part of the wheat sold, Ihe population in that, district amounting 150,000; and he energetically called for fhe iidoption of some corrcctive by Government to ensure the accuracy of those returns. Mr. Peel said, that Ihe statements should be examined into, and, if the complaint were ascertained to be well founded, a remedy should be applied. As the petition came from Manchester, the ho- nourable gentleman, no doubt, was right in showing that the fallacious returns, even from that district, was one just cause of complaint against the corn laws. The defect, however, is inherent in fhe system, which is any thing hut efficacious, as will appear from the following statement:— RETURNS or WHEAT. ( at least 60 feet high) began fo shake in the most frightful manner. The stables and carpenters' shop, which were situated to the westward of the building, had caught fire, and were burning furiously when it was recollected that four valuable horses occupied the former building. As soon as this became known, several of Messrs. Dowuings' workmen rushed in, and happily succeeded in rescuing fhe affrighted animals, but not until one had suffered, though not materially. Mr. Downing's carriages were also saved. The premises had not been so full of manufactured goods for years. One pile of oil cloth which had been made for the Duke of Devonshire, and worth £ 000, was w holly destroyed. The building was quite new, and its magnitndc may be estimated, when we state that the mere skeleton was erected between two and three years ago at an expense of £ 12,000. The loss occasioned fo flic firm by this fire will not be less than £ 30,000, and we arc sorry to add that not one shilling's worth of it was insured. The different fire engines, considering the distance they bad to come, were promptly upon the spot, but from the furious nature of the fire they were not of the least service. All the mischief was done even before the water could be obtained from tbe Chelsea main, which was full half an hour after the lire broke out. At six the eastern wall gave way and fell with a tremendous crash, and between seven and eight the wall on the west side fell, and happily without accident, the crowd having previously been forced back by the constables on duty. The front and back walls were standing at nine o'clock, and the oil and other materials were sfill burning ; but, from flic situation of the premises, no further danger was anticipated, unless hy the falling of the hack wall. The beautiful gardens in the immediate vicinity of tbe fire, parti- cularly those of Mr. Davcy and Mrs. More, are entirely destroyed by being trampled upon, and thc- laffer, it is feared, will feel her loss very severely. If appears that the Fire Offices will not take an insurance upon such factories as this, unless at a very- heavy rate and by special agreement; and Messrs. Downing felt themselves flic more secure from the premises being perfectly isolated, and being entirely under their own immediate inspection. A grandson of . Mr. Downing's went into fhe manufactory but ten minutes before the alarm, and remarked that there seemed to be unusual disorder, so that he felt assured tlial some one had been there before him. Mr. George Downing had grounds for suspecting two persons who bad formerly been in their employ, and on hinting his suspicions to one of his men, they were strongly confirmed, and a reference to circumstances induced him to take steps for fheir apprehension. We understand that one of the men suspected was taken into custody between live and six o'clock on Sunday, and that little doubt, is entertained that the other will be secured before long. London. Liverpool. Manchester. Q LIS. QRS. QRS.

This, however, we understand, was not. owing to any operation of the law, for it is defective and ineffectual in such cases, but was mainly to he attributed to the Irish consignees obtaining, from the purchasers, a return of their purchases, which the consignees handed to the in- spector; thus practically proving, that the legal remedy for such injurious deficiencies is to require returns to be made by the sellers. The enormous disparity between fhe returns at Liverpool, which is ihe great English market for lr'sh corn, ( being, On the- 20th February ... 280 quarters, and flu I lie - 2T) i Ii Mnrch .... .10,255 quarters'.) is a sufficient proof, that, under tbe existing law, the returns may fie either made or withheld, as if may best suit, the design of those who, by tin easy arrange- ment, may thus affect the prices from which fhe average is struck that governs flic importation. But, if we look a little farther, wc shall find returns equally defective; for, although the returns froni London appear more equal in amount, vet., when computed upon the number of the population of the metropolis and its vicinity, it will be found that the returns made from Manchester are much less deficient, than those from Mark- lane. Our readers will, no doubt, remember, that, in our journal of the 9th March last, we fully exposed the fallacy of the present system of obtaining returns, fo which our attention was attracted by a lellcr, effectually proving, ( hit an amendment of flic Act, by requiring SELLERS to niake returns, would remedy the defect ; and we believe that copies of thai Icifcr were, in a few days afterward, sent tcfseveral members of Ihe House of Commons, and of his Majesty's Government. Knowing also, that at flic s. unc time, strong complaints were made to the Hoard of Trade, from the commercial bodies in the principal ports and tdwns in Ireland, respecting these returns, we are much surprised ( hat the Right Honourable Se- cretary has not, ci- c this, instituted an inquiry, and applied a remedy to correct a system which affords such facilities for defrauding fhe public, and most prejudicially affects the food of the industrious classes of the community. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT CHELSEA. One of the most, extensive, as well as destructive, fires ( lint have happened in or near ( he metropolis for some time past took place at Chelsea oil Sunday, when ( lie whole of flint immense pile of building, Downing and Sons' floor- cloth manufactory, was ( festvoyed; and we regret, to stale, that the circum- stances attending ( his dreadful calamity leave no doult. of its having been the work of some nicked incendiary. The fire broke out at two o'clock in the afternoon, and, when once ignited, was so instan- taneous iu its operations, flint, fhe whole of the upper part of ( he building, which covers more than an acre of ground, sent, forth one mass of flume, which raged in the most terrific manner possible until everything within ifs range was destroyed. Such was the in- tensity of the heat, lliat, although the factory extends 50 or 60 yards back fr. ni the road, it was found impossible to pass along it. On the first, alarm being given, the Commandant of the Royal Military Asylum ordered out a number of the senior boys with the engine of that instilulion, under the command of Mr. Fulham, the Adjutant. The boys were furnished with the leather buckets of flic asylum, and, with the most praiseworthy zeal and attention to their orders, formed lines of communication from different pumps in the neighbourhood, and supplied their own and the parish engines wilh water. The engine of Chelsea Hospital also arrived shortly after, and, with a num- ber of pensioners, under Ihe command of tbe serjeant major, proceeded upon the same plan as the Asylum boys, and, by their mutual exertions, succeeded in saving fhe adjoining premises— the widow More's— from taking fire. Mr. Downing, juu. who lives in the neighbourhood, was soon on the spot, and, with the assistance of bis neighbours, rescued 40 or 50 pieces of oil cloth from the lower part of the premises. They were also enabled to save the iron chest which contained their books and valuable papers. In the centre of ( lie building . is a cistern, w hich contained about nine pipes of linseed oil; a great quantity of paint was also on the premises, which, with fhe com- bustible quality of all the materials used in the busi- ness, fed the devouring element, so that in 20 minutes from its commencement the fire was at. its height; the roof shortly after fell in, and the immense walls miscellaneous tntclligcncc. CORN LAWS — In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr. Hume moved, " That this house do resolve itself into a committee of tbe whole house to consider of the corn laws of the 9th Geo. IV. cap. 60, wi( h a view of substituting a fixed duty on the im- portation of foreign corn into the united kingdom, and a bounty on the exportation of British corn, instead of tbe present graduated scale of duty."— Mr. Marshall seconded the motion, which was negatived by a majority of 154 to 12. We regret to state the death of the veteran General I ord Harris, the gallant captor of Seringa- patam. By his death the Colonelcy of the 73d Regiment and the Governorship of Dumbarton Castle became vacant. Hrs lordship was of the high Military Order of Grand Cross of Ihe Bath. BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.— The 25th anniversary meeting of this society was held on tbe 6th inst. at the Freemasons' 1 lull, Great Queen- street. Lord Teignmonfh took the chair. The noble lord briefly adverted to the motives and object of the society, and congratulated the meeting on the progress it, had made within tbe last few years.— The Secretary then read the report, which was of a most gratifying character. It appeared that the net receipts of the society up to the 1st of April were £ 80,259. 10s. OIL. being £ 7,315. 12s. 7d. over last year's rcccipts. The number of Bibles and Testa- ments issued during tbe year amounted to 365,424, being an exccss of 29,154 over that of any one year since the commencement of the society. DEPREDATIONS OF ROOKS— Since the month of February, notwithstanding a vigilant watch was placed at a considerable expense, the rooks have stolen sets of potatoes from a considerable breadth of ground at Widford- hall. Oil the same farm, during the sowing of a field of 16 acrcs with peas, the number of rooks seen at one time upon its surface has been estimated nt 1000, which is accounted for by there being a preserve near, which, at a moderate computation, contains 1000 nests. But the most lameufable ravages committed by these birds that lias yet come to our knowledge is in Navcstock, Kclvcdon- hatch, and fheir vicinities, where the damage done annually, within a small circle, has been estimated at more than £ 2000. Subsequently to the month of March, of late years, many farmers have paid from 8s. to 10s. per week, in order t, o preserve fheir seed and their plants ; but notwith- standing such precautions, acre afler acre of beans, when in leaf and clear from the soil, have been pulled up, nnd. the loss of the crop rendered irre- parable to ( he farmer.— Essex Herald. The celebrated John Wilkes used to tell a story of Mr Alderman Sawbridge. When Sawbridge, who was a worthy magistrate, but no sportsman, was Lord Mayor, he went, to the Epping Hunt in tbe costume of a field officer, and when he was fold that " the hare was coming," his lordship instantly clapped his hand upon his sword, and exclaimed, " ls he, sir? let b im come REFINEMENTS OFTHF. PRESS.— A Morning Paper, i » : giving an account of the Guildhall Concert, says, " The grdat attraction of the day was the justly celebrated Soiling, who, on this occasion, and much to the credit of her judgment and good taste, condc- scendcd, for the first, time since her return to England, to make her appearance in public." The public singer condescc- nds to make her appearance in public! We trust the audience was sufficiently abashed by the weight of the honour.— Spectator. THE IRON TRADE.— IN consequence of the very depressed state of the iron trade, and the large and accumulating slocks oil hand, most of tbe iron- masters in the neighbourhood of Sheffield have determined not only to effect another reduction in wages, but to discharge several of their workmen. Al the Elsicar furnace, worked by Earl Fitzwilliam, all Ihe workmen are under notice to leave. In Staffordshire tbe iron trade is in a deplorable state. — Sh field Iris. To INCREASE THE SIZE OF ARTICHOKE HEADS. .— The following process, which has been attended with great success in Holland and France, is particu- larly recommended to the attention of connoisseurs. Split the stem of the artichoke into four at the base of the receptaculum, and introduce into the clefts two small pegs of wood, which are crossed over each Other. The fruit will thus obtain a much finer size than before. The operation should not be performed till after the stem of the plant has reached its proper height. DARING ROBBERY.— During the night of Wed- nesday se'nnight, the premises of Mr. John Giinfon, in the High- street, Cheltenham, were robbed of plate and other articles of considerable value; and although the marauder contrived to escape with his booty, such was the activity of the police, that be was apprehended and fully committed for trial on Ihe following Friday. The name of the offender is Thomas Wrenford Herbert; and it appeared on his examination that he must have concealed himself in the house early in the evening, as he contrived to cuter ihe bed- room of a young female, where tbe plate and key of the shop were deposited, aud abstract them while she was asleep. From thence he repaired to the shop, where he found more plate, und also emptied Ihe till of its contents, which he pocketed with other small articles. Emboldened by impunity, he ascended to the sleeping- room of one of the journeymen, named Slack, where the opened a box by the bed- side, and provided himself with a quantity of wearing- apparel and a pair of pistols; and thus laden wilh spoil, he decamped, without alarming any of the family. When taken he had on a hat belonging to 15. Slack, and the whole of the property was afterwards found iu two houses on the Tewkesbury road. From information that lias since been received, there is every reason lo believe lhat he left London on the preceding day, for the purpose of perpetrating this robbery, as be well knew the premises, having been formerly apprenticed in Mr. Guutou's establishment; since leaving which he has been living an idle and disso- lute life in the metropolis. On Friday a communication was made from the Telegraph station at Liverpool, to the station at Holyhead, and an answer returned to Liverpool, a distance of 140 miles, in tbe incredibly short space of fifty three seconds ! Dr. Spurzheim lectured at Liverpool on phrenology- last Monday week, when the ladies present were much amused on hearing that their hearts were in their heads. The lecturer said that tbe most impor- tant feature of phrenology is that the brain is not only the organ of the intellect, but of the feelings and passions also ; Or, speaking in a phrase which is commonly used, the brain is not only what you call the head, but the heart—( Here the rustling of the ladies' bonnets showed their surprise to find that their K hearts" bad got into their heads. You may, con- tinued Dr. Spurzheim with a smile, the ladies may be surprised to hear this; but you will find that the heart, which is situated under the breast, and which circulates the blood, is not the scat of the affections. True it is, that in any deep passion or grief you put your hand on your breast and cry, Oil ! my heart feels sore, and wounded; but, believe me, that the cause of that emotion proceeds from the brain, w hich, connected as if. is with the blood vessels of the heart, causes the feelings you experience. Let me use a comparison to illustrate this; you know very well that if you take any food that will not digest, you say you find your head aches, hut does that prove that the food is in your head ; no, it only means or proves that the state of the stomach influences the brain, just as the sfafe of the brain affects the heart. SINGULAR CASE OF ASSAULT, & c.— On Saturday, a waggoner named Parker was brought before J. Maddison, Esq. on tbe following charge: — It appeared that Parker drove Mr. Salmon's stage waggon, which travels between Bath and Bristol ; but getting intoxicated, lie lost so much time on the road, that if was past twelve o'clock at night when he arrived at. one of the turnpike gates, the keeper of which refused to let him pass without paying the toll; when, after grossly abusing and assaulting tbe gate keeper, he took the horses from the waggon, hooked them to the gate, and literally pulled it to pieces. For this offence, the magistrate fined him £ 10, and in default of payment, he was committed to the House of Correction for three months. FLY- FISHING.— The first point that presents itself for the decision of the angler, as to his movements, is, which bank of the river he is to go down; and this often proves to be of more moment than may at first sight be apparent. He generally arrives on the banks of tbe river where there is a bridge, and has then a choice in his power. If he be on known ground, of course be has no difficulty in deciding. If a stranger to the river, tlie case is different; and as bis day's sport, or, at any rate, a large portion of his time, depends on his decision, he should " ponder well." In the absence of other considerations, in a stream running east or west, I would prefer the north side, to avoid having your own shadow and that of your rod cast on the stream, in case of sunshine, and to make in any event, a less conspicuous figure. In streams lying north and south 1 would prefer the east side for Ihe same reason; both because the sun is generally pretty well south before the fisher begins his sport, and because fhe afternoon may be con- sidered the most valuable part of the day. In a j wide river you must, of course, choose the bank on which you have acccss to the best streams. In one which can be fished across, if a still and oozy river, choose the side opposite to the favourite bank, because a hollow bank is best fished from the farther shore. But if it should abound with rapid streams, choose the bank under which the fish harbour, because flies cannot be kept stationary for a sufficient length of time across a rapid run which is at any distance from you. In the absence of any of these considerations, and if ignorant of the localities, prefer the bank on which the path seems most frequented. Where bridges are frequent, or the stream shallow, the decision on this point may be of little conse- quence : but on deep and formidable streams, with few bridges or fords, the angler will find it worthy of some reflection, else the consequence may be that he will find his forenoon spent rather as if he were beat- ing for woodcocks than fishing for trout. I have taken it for granted that we arrange, in every case, so as to fish down the stream, and that to one who goes in search, not of health but. of sport, a ford is as good as a bridge.— Edinburgh Observer. The bill for legalizing the sale of dead bodies— for making the keepers of gaols, workhouses, and hospitals, dealers in human flesh— has again been brought into Parliament under a new title— namely, " A Bill for preventing the unlawful Disinterment of Human Bodies, and for regulating the Schools of Anatomy." VVe* did hope that the promoters of this most atrocious measure had abandoned it from a sense of shame, or from a sense of something else ; but we find that we were mistaken, aud that, instead of withdrawing it altogether, they only withdrew it for a time, in order to endeavour to make it a little more palatable, by giving to it a false designation. The name of the Bill shews the fraudulent intentions of its promoters, for who would expect to find, under such a title, that the real object was to enable the keepers of hospitals, workhouses, and prisons, to dispose of dead bodies for the purpose of dissection ? Yet such is literally the fact, and all that is said about preventing the disinterment of human bodies is absolutely untrue. So far, indeed, from this bill preventing the dis- interment, it actually makes the penalty attached to such crimes less than it was before. We arc aware it may be said that the bill will prevent the dis- interment of human bodies, inasmuch as it will be the means of providing subjects for the surgeons without having recourse to such means. This we very much doubt ; but, even if it should be found to be the case, still the bill is not a bill for prevent- ing tbe disinterment of bodies, but a bill for pro- viding the schools of anatomy with subjects, or, as we have called it above, a bill for legalizing the sale of dead bodies. The bill in its present shape is not so glaringly objectionable as it was at first intended to be— the framers of it have paid some little respect to the public opinion ; and we accord- ingly find that the body, after it has been in the human shambles twenty- one days, is to be buried. We are, however, quite satisfied that this clause is inoperative; that it will never be acted upon; and that it is only introduced for tbe purpose of throw- ing dnst into the eyes of the clergy and the public, lit short, the whole thing is fraudulently got up— got up with the intention of rendering the unchristian and atrocious principle of selling the dead bodies of the poor as little objectionable as possible, I y endeavouring to make it appear that the feelings of relatives will in no case be wounded, when, in lac", no efficient provision of the kind has been made. The bill states, it shall be lawful for the keepers of workhouses, hospitals, and prisons, to give up every such person as s!; all die when under their care, 72 hours after his or her death, to certain persons licensed to teach anatomy, providing no relation shall claim it within that time for the purpose of iut rment, or providing that no relation shall request that such body may not be delivered up to be dissected. The bill also states, that, before a body is given up to a relation, there shall appear sufficient reason to believe that he will burv it. The public will perceive that those who are " to judge of the sufficiency of the reason are those very individuals who are allowed to dispose of the body. — that is, to make money of it if they think proper; for there can be no doubt that there will be a competition among the teachers of anatomy, aud that the bodies will be sold. Thus those persons whose interest it will be to give up the bodies for dissection are to judge whether the relations apply- ing for such bodies will be likely to bury them or not, and to act accordingly.— Morning Herald. The late Lord Gwydir's collection of pictures was sold by Mr. Christie, at his room iu King- street, St James's- square, on Friday and Saturday. A few of the prices were as follow :— The Virgin, wilh the Infant Christ and St. John, by G. Romano, £ 337; a Cavalier on a White Horse, halting at a Bird- catcher's Hut, by Berghem, £ 309. 15s.; Grooms watering Horses, by Wouvermans, £ 325; a Girl entering the Balh, by Rembrandt ( bought by Mr. Holwell Carr), £ 173.5s ; a mounted Peasant," driv- ing a Cow to Water, by Berghem, £ 236. 5s.; Return from the Chace, by Wouventtans, £ 714; the Corporal Acts of Mercy, by Teniers, '£ 378 ; a Group of Cows, by P. Potter, £ 1265; the Rape of Eurppa, by Claude ( bought by his Majesty), £ 2100; Landscape, by Both, £ 483; Ihe Holy Family, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, £ 1995; an upright Land scape, with Figures, by Gainsborough, £ 1102. The last two pictures were purchased by the Directors of the British Institution, and by- them gratuitously presented to the National Gallery. The amount of the sale was nearly fourteen thousand pounds. The Duke of Orleans, accompanicd by his son, the Due de Charlres, arrived in London on Friday, and had a private audience of his Majesty oil Saturday. VVe noticed a week or two ago, that our illustrious neighbour, tbe Duke of Wellington, had become the purchaser of the beautiful estates of Ewhurst and Wolverton, adjoining Stratfieldsaye, laf" the property of Sir Peter Pole ; we omitted, however, at the same time, stating, that his grace has also added the estate of Sitchester— the ancient Segontium,— to his posses- sions, and, we have heard, is now in treaty for that of Mortimer. With the addition of the latter, the territorial possessions of the Duke of Wellington, in Hampshire, will form one of the largest and most splendid properties iu great Britain. On the newly- purchased estates there is a tine picce of water, which, at a trifling expense, may be united to that at Strat- fieldsaye,— thus forming an extensive inland lake, which, for its local beauties, will be equal to any thing of the sort in England. It is probable that flic proposed new mansion of the duke will be built on the Pole estates, for we have heard that the house af Stratfieldsaye, is to remain, and undergo a thorough repair.— Some idea may be formed of the extent of his grace's property in Hants, when it is stated, that its circuit will be at least 30 miles, and that an approach or avenue to the house may be formed upwards of eight miles in length.—— Berkshire Chronicle. On Saturday, six cottages at Britford, near Salisbury, were destroyed by fire. They were inhabited by- poor people, and the fire is supposed to have been occasioned by some children having thrown out some live wood- ashes behind one of these cottages on some straw, which, quickly igniting, fhe flames immediately communicated to the thatch above, and from thence to the other five cottages. The fire commenced at about a quarter before nine, and the whole were destroyed by ten o'clock. Two poor men, in llieir endeavours to save their property, were dreadfully burnt. SINGULAR FACT.— On the fifteenth of this month a white rook, in full feather, was taken at Eyford rookery, Gloucestershire, on the estate of Vernon Dolphin, Esq.— Tbe eyes were blue, with two white rings, and tbe legs and bill perfectly white, as well as the body. FEMALE SWINDLER.— On Saturday evening, a young lady about 25 years of age, with rather a full face and fresh colour, called at Mr. Liu tier's, in Bridge- street, Bath, and obtained a gold watch, without payment, by ordering him to send it to a respectable house in Northumberland- buildings, at the door of which she met the person entrusted to deliver it, and selected one out of tbe four, worth about £ 7. She obtained a cut coral brooch, with a box for hair, and an engine- turned fine gold locket, from Mr. Sims, of the Exchange, in the same way. This female swindler was habited in a light grey dress, and a straw cottage bonnet. The inhabitants of the bouse at whose door she received the goods, knew nothing of her. CURIOUS C ASE OF DETECTED IMPOSTURE.— On Tuesday, Robert Stone was taken to the Public Office, Cheltenham, on a charge of swindling, under the following circumstances :— About three years ago he had called at the house of Mrs. Edmands, who kept a ladies'school in the Bath road, and stated that his master bad sent him from Malmesbury, to say that he would send his two children to her school in the course of a few days— that his master had given him a sovereign to pay his expenses, but that he had passed it by mistake on the road for a shilling; he then asked Mrs. E. to lend him some silver, and she offered him five shillings, but be asked for ten, which she accordingly lent him, on his statement that his master was coming down on the Thursday, and would repay her the money. Mrs. Edmands after- wards made enquiries whether fhe gentleman stated by him fo be his master lived at Malmcsbury, and she found that lie did not. The prisoner, it is need- less to say, never came to Cheltenham to bring the children to school, or to pay her the ten shillings. On Tuesday morning the prisoner called upon Mrs. Edmands, who, it may be remarked, has changed her residence from the Bath road to Manchester House, and thinking it was another establishment he told a similar talc. He informed the servant that he had two children to put to school, and in consequence of the measles and small pox being so prevalent in fhe neighbourhood of Crieklade, he wished fo place them under her mistress's care. The girl asked him to walk into the kitchen, while she called her mistress, who, on coming down, immediately recognised him, which the prisoner perceiving, pretended to be ill, and said he must walk into the garden— and was endeavouring to run off', when Mr. Billings, the father of Mrs. E. overtook him, aud gave him into custody. The Magistrates committed him for three months to hard labour at Northlcacb, as a rogue and vagabond — During the examination of the prisoner, a gentleman recognised him as the same individual, who twenty- five years ago had obtained a one pound note from him under pretence of being robbed on the highway. EULOGIUM ON THE PRESS.— Yon have not ex- aggerated the influence of the newspaper press, nor the profligacy of some of those persons by whom this unrestrained aud irresponsible- power is exercised. Nevertheless, it has done and is doing great and essential good. The greatest evils in society proceed from Ihe abuse of power; aud this, though abundantly manifested ill the newspapers themselves, they prevent in other quarters. No man engaged in public life could venture now upon such transactions as no one, in their station, half a century ago, would have been ashamed of. There is an end of that scandalous jobbing which at that time existed in every department of the state, and in every branch of tbe public service; and a check is imposed upon any scaudalous and unfit promotion, civil or ecclesiastical. By whatever persons the government may be administered, they are now well aware that they must do nothing which will not bear daylight and strict investigation. Tbe magistrates also are closely observed by this self- constituted censorship; and the inferior officers cannot escape exposure for any perversion of justice, or undue exercise of authority. Public nuisances are abated by the same means, and public griev- ances, which the legislature might else overlook, are forced upon its attention. Thus, in ordinary times, the utility of this branch of the press is so great, that one of the worst evils lo be apprehended from the abuse of its power at all times, and the wicked purposesto which it is directed in dangeious ones, is the ultimate loss of liberty, which is essen- tial to the public good, but which, when it passes into licentiousness, and effects the overthrow of a state, perishes in the ruin it has brought on.— Mr. Sonthey on the Hopes of Society. While some workmen were lately demolishing a boundary hedge between Glan Hwfa farm and Fron, in the parish of Llangefni, Anglesey, a great number of graves were found, composed of stones for sides and ends, and some covered over, containing human bones : there were about thirty entire graves, infants and adults, besides detached parts of others, with fragments of bones of more apparent antiquity.— A similar discovery was made on the farm of Chapel, in ihe parish of Llangristiolus, 3 miles distant, about 60 years ago. The river Conway, in Carnarvonshire was of con- siderable importance, even before the Roman invasion, for the pearl muscle ( the Myamargatipera of Lin- naeus), and Suetonius acknowledged, that one of his inducements for undertaking the subjugation of Wales was, the Pearl Fishery carried forward in that river. According to Pliny, the muscles called by natives ( Kregindilin), were sought for with avidity by the Romans, and the pearls found within fheni were highly valued ; in proof of which it is asserted, Julius Ca- sar dedicated a breast- plate, set. with British Pearls, to Venus Genctrix, and placed it, in her Temple at Rome. Suetonius imputes Caesar's inva- sion of Britain to his desire of enriching himself with the pearls found on the different parts of the coast. The pearls most in request with the ancients, were those collccted in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Persia, and the Indian Ocean; the next in value were the British, tinged on the surface with a colour resem- bling gold, but, in general, of a dark hue, and less transparent than the Indian. Camden speaks of pearls found in Carnarvonshire, in Cumberland, and in the British Sea. A fine specimen of pearl, from tbe river Conway, is said to have been presented to Catherine, consort of Charles II. by Sir Richard Wynn, of Gwydir; and it is further said, that the same river lias since contributed to adorn the regal crown of England. Lady New- borough possessed a good collection of the Conway pearls, which she purchased of those who were fortunate to find them, as there is no regular fishery at present. The late- Sir Robert Vatighan had obtained a sufficient number to appear at Court with a button and loop to his hat formed of these beautiful productions, about 1780. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. MR.

" Ordered, that Mr. O'Conncll do attend the house this day ; and that Mr. Speaker do then communicate to him the said resolution, and ask him whether he w ill take the oath of supremacy :" HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. MR. O'CONNELL. The proceedings of this day are thus entered in the votes of the House : " Daniel O'Connell, Esq.— Order read for the attendance of Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. O'Connell being in attendance, he was called to the bar, where- upon Mr. Speaker communicated to him the resolu- tion agreed to by the house, and the order made thereupon :— " ' That it is the opinion of this house, that Mr. O'Connell having been returned a member of this bouse before fhe commencement of the act passed in this session of parliament ' for fhe relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects,' is not entitled to sit or vote in this house unless he first take the oath of suprcmacv.' "' Ordered, that Mr. O'Connell do attend the house this day ; and that Mr. Speaker do- then com- municate to him the said resolution, and ask him whether he will take the oath of supremacy ?' " And then Sir. Speaker, pursuant to the said order, asked Mr. O'Connell whether lie would take the said oath of supremacy ? Whereupon Mr. O'Connell requested to see the said oath, which being shown to hini accordingly, Mr. O'ConneM stated, that the said oath contained one proposition which he knew to be false, and another proposition which he believed to be untrue, and that he therefore refused to take the said oath of supremacy. " And then Mr. O'Connell was directed to with- draw, and he withdrew- accordingly :— motion made, and question proposed,—' That Mr. Speaker do issue his warrant to the clerk of the crown to make out a new writ for the electing of a knight of the shire to serve in this present parliament, for the county of Clare, in the room of Daniel O'Connell, Esq. who, having been returned a member of this house before the commencement of an act passed in this session of parliament ' for the relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects,' has refused to take the oath of supremacy :'— Debate thereupon adjourned till Thursday.

" The Constitution of 1688 w as broken in upon," we were told, to set at rest the " eternal Catholic question," aud to obviate the recurrence of scenes like the Clare election ; and the first visions that open upon us through the breach, are a new edition of the eternal question, and a repetition of the dreaded contest at Clare.—" Here is wisdom.'* That Mr. O'Connell will be in parliament early in the next session, we can assure Mr. Peel. He will be in parliament, even though, conlr-. rv to all the pro- babilities, his former electors shall fail to return him, FOR FOUR SEATS HAVE BEEN ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE RENT. Of this wc have a direct know- ledge, and this is only a beginning. The Times will contradict it, but will the wily Jesuit of Lincoln's Inn gainsay it ? Do we regret that Mr. O'Connell will he in parlia ment ? Far from it. As Roman Catholics are ad- mitted, it is right that they should be led in by tbe type of their order— that they who have let loose upon us the barbarous slaves of tbe popish priesthood, should have the earliest personal experience of the masters whom they have given. What Protestant in the empire is there who does not. admire the lofty insolence with which the member for Clare last night treated the House of Commons. He might have silgptlv declined taking the tendered oath ; he might have paused at the statement, that it contained, pro- positions which he believed to be unfounded; but no, he felt the value of the opportunity of degrading those whom he addressed, and he told them in their teeth that HF. KNEW the oath which every man amongst them had taken, contained a falsehood. Such a man has been long wanted in that house ; if for no other purpose, to show that occasions may arise when Englishmen will require fitter represent- atives than the fribbles of Ihe club- houses, the clerks of the green- ferrett and red- tape schools, the sinipcrcrs and sncerers through public business— than tbe party, in a word, of whom tbe child and champion is he whom the late Mr. Curran called " a jackanapes in office." Mr. O'Connell may be coarse, vulgar, vio- lent, a ruflian if you will: all the better— the more coarse, vulgar, violent, the more a ruflian lie may be, the more necessity there will be for men to keep him and his clan in order. And when men arc demanded, the dynasty of the Peels has ceased to reign. USE or MOLES.— Tbe most unnatural of all persecutions that ever were raised in a country is that against the mole, that innocent and blessed little pioneer who enriches our pastures annually with the first fop dressing, dug with great pains aud labour from the fattest, of the soil beneath. The advantages of this top- drcsdng arc so apparent arid so manifest to tbe eyes of every unprejudiced person, that it is really amazing how our countrymen should have persisted, now nearly half a century, in the most manly and valiant endeavours to exterminate the moles from the face of the earth. If an hundred men and horses were employed on a common sized pasture farm, say of from 1500 to 2000 acres, in raising and driving manure for a top- dressing of that farm, they would not do it so effectually, so neatly, or so equally, as the natural number of moles on that farm would do themselves.— Quarterly Journal of Agriculture ; article " Mole- catching," by tho Ettrick Shepherd.
