The first exhibition of prizes al Ihe new seminary 11 Gower- strect, called the Ixmdon University, took place on Saturday, and the result, limited though it is to the medical and surgieal classes, represents the school in a light which we did not anticipate. About a dozen prizes were distributed, but none of the suc- cessful exhibitionists ( except one) appear to tic natives of London. We imagined that the « college" was built for the benefit of the citizens of London; but the result, as far as it goes, proves it to be rather a school for aspirants from distant parts of the empire. This is what we were not prepared f0 expect; for certainly no sensible man who is at all conversant with the vices of the metropolis, and especially the vices that belong to the very spot where the '< college" stands, would ever pass over the superior moral edu- cation of a country seminary, or tbe small grammar school of a provincial town, " and expose his son to the temptations of London society. It is true lhat, as regards the study of materia medica and anatomy, Llndon may afford superior facilities. It is better, we admit, that, the young scalpelist should have the pleasure of cutting up workhouse people, and unclaimed patients who die in the hospitals of the capital, than be dissecting Ihe murderer and the murdered in Edinburgh— it is better, perhaps, that he should buy a body in London than assist in stealing one in Glasgow— but still, when the contamination is" considered, and the hazards that are to be encountered by living in such a district of the metropolis, we would think that either of these cities, nay, that even Dublin, is preferable. The son of a citizen may escape such society by being' early sent into the country ; but, in case it should not lie convenient to send him so far from his parents, it is certain he cannot be made worse by attending the London University. He will be quite at home iu every respect. The precocious cockney will be great in his class, and equally distinguished in the favoured and equally classical private schools in the vicinity of Gower- street; and therefore no harm can possibly ensue. He is not an animal that can suffer injury. He becomes extinct in the third generation, and his vices and his peculiar talents die wilh him. But the result will be very different, and far more dangerous, if the university of Gower- street should ever become a point of attraction for young men from the provinces in other branches of learning or science. It will then be a finishing school for vice and de- pravity. The youth who is sent from the country to learn Latin or Greek here will, of course, become a poet at his father's expense, and a moral philosopher at his own. He will imbibe wisdom in the class- room, and experience in the streets. He will be a mathematician in one house, and a political economist in another; and will conic home to his foolish sire, like Jean Jaques Rousseau, the victim of enervated sensibility— a fiddler, a fool, and a finished cockney pragmatical, effeminate, and contemptible. Wc, nevertheless, still hope, that, in these branches, the school will be almost exclusively formed of the sons of citizens. It. is for their benefit that it was established, and we wish them joy of it. We also trust that the patrons of the King's College, w hich it is intended shall be in the Strand, will not persevere in involving themselves till they see the real effect of the Gower- street seniinary.

The con- flagration lighted in the east might have been ex- tinguished by a striking reverse, or by a decided triumph, of one of the belligerent parlies. Neither Russia nor the Ottoman Porte having been put out of the field, ( he war of 1828 has only served to irritate the pride of the two powers, to inflame the fanaticism of the two nations. Therefore, in spite of the misery which devours them, they are preparing themselves with an nntamcable obstinacy to precipitate them- selves upon each other, in the hope that conquest will indemnify them for their efforts and their sufferings. The news from the cast only make mention of the march of troops, of the formation of hospitals, of the establishment of magazines, and of military and naval constructions of every description. The unfortunate provinces which have been the scenes of battle pre- sent to the armies now only a naked soil and without resources. It is, therefore, necessary, by the dint of money, to draw from other quarters nourishment for the great masses of men which the war has concen- trated upon a single point. None of these obstacles, however, arrests the two belligerent powers, and, unfortunately they lead into their quarrel by degrees allies who expect latterly ( o profit by it. These hostile dispositions of the respective cabinets do not escape the attention of the public. It appears certain that Austria, for the last year, has been placing her military on a new footing, and this foot- ing must be threatening enough, from what is said in the German Journals, that Russia was putting herself in a position to act upon Servia until prevented from doing so by a neighbouring power. The sudden pacification of Ireland, and the armaments fitting out in the English ports, have resounded through Europe, and caused explanations to be demanded by the Russian Cabinet. The sending out of money, and, probably, English officers, to the east have not less excited the attention of that cabinet, and the circumstance of the captain of ail English vessel, loaded with grain, having entered the Dardanelles after thirteen bullets had been filed at him by the blockading squadron, has added to its complaints, the more so that this supply of grain has enabled the sultan by this time to join his troops. If Austria and England make common cause with the Porto, it is, on the other hand, said, that Russia is negociating an alliance with Sweden and Prussia, A Russian agent, it is reported, has been sounding the dispositions of those powers. With respect to Prussia, she has declared bluntly that she would place herself in a position to profit by the events. Under all these circumstances we are authorised to conclude that the principal powers of Europe are more or less engaged in the affairs of the east, and that ccrtain great cabinets are carrying on an under- hand w- ar fune guerre sordej, which may easily be changed into open hostilities.— Journal de Commerce ( Par is Paper J.

The determination < sf Russia to seize Upon the European dominions of the Sultan, was at length practically exhibited hy the march of her troops, under Wittgenstein, to the Danube. The Turks, after some affairs of posts, retreated before the power- ful army which now rushed down from Podolia and Moscow on their scattered parties; and the three sieges of Shunila, Silistria, and Varna, were immedi- ately and rashly undertaken. Of those places, the first is, beyoftd all comparison, the most important, from its being 1he gate of the grand pass of the Balkan, ' l he city also stands at the central point of the roads from almost the whole of the fortresses of the Danube, and has the power of protecting or inter- cepting their connexion with the capital. But the position of this important city gives it great defensive advantages. It is nearly encircled with a range of the mountains, which sefve as an out- work, and those hills are covered with thickets, which incomparably suit the species of service towhieh the Turkish troops are most accustomed. The. inhabitants of Shumla are about 30,000, and are, of course, to a certain degree available for the defence. The size of the city is advantageous, from its allowing quarters to the chief divisions that might be left to protect not merely Shumla, but the pass of the mountains. It is nearly three English miles long, by a mile and half in breadth. The fortifications are rude, and of the class of the Lower Empire— walls with occasional towers; but the true strength of the place is ill its locality ; the range of hills round it forming the true rampart of the city, and the whole being a large entrenched camp, with thickets, precipices, and ravines for its fortifications. The result of the campaign undoubtedly disap- pointed, to a great extent, the expectation formed of the Russian arms. The Turks were often tbe assailants even upon level ground, and were not unfreqnently left masters of tbe field. Some of their incursions into VVallachia put the Russian corps into sufh imminent hazard, that they were saved only by instant retriat: large convoys were intercepted hy the Turkish cavalry, and Ihe campaign vvas speedily- discovered to be only the beginning of a dubious and protracted struggle. The assaults 011 tbe Turkish posts were generally repulsed with heavy loss; and, of the three great sieges, but one offered the slightest hope of success. Shumla, tbe grand object of the campaign, was early found to be totally impracticable: Silistria was nearly despaired of, and finally was abandoned by a disorderly and ruinons flight: Varna alone gave way, after a long succession of attacks; and, from the singular circumstances of its surrender, is still said to have been bought from the Governor, Yussuf Pacha, a Greek renegade. One of the most extraordinary features of the whole campaign is the small force on both sides. The Russian Gazettes state the number of their army that crossed the Pruth at little more than eighty thousand. Yet this service was of the most popular kind with the court and people. The nature of the enemy was perfectly known from long warfare ; the difficulties and losses which belong to the Turkish war must have been clear- ly anticipated; and yet the w hole Russian empire, setting forth on the conquest of an empire, which had been the object of its ambition from the days of Peter the Great, was not able to send one hundred thousand men across the border. The sultan, commanding a population of twenty millions, had probably not forty thousand men in arms, from Constantinople to the Danube. So much does military strength depend on public wealth, anil so impotent is the mere power of population in the struggles of European war. But the difficulty of arming the troops, and supplying the artillery and provisions for large bodies of men, are the great drawbacks on mutual aggression : and, by a curious and effective chain of consequences, nations are compelled to find, in the activity of commerce, the sinews of war. The campaign was urged into the depths of winter, arid the weather was remarkably inclement; the Turks were elated hy success, anil their attacks kept the enemy perpetually on the alert; the walls of the great towns wmtkl not give way ; the villages were burnt, and could give shelter no longer; and, as the general result, the Russian army were ordered to retreat from tbe Danube. The retreat was a second march from Moscow. Every thing was lost, buried, or taken. The horses of the eavalry and artillery • were totally destroyed, the greater part of the avtil lery w- as hidden in the ground or eaptured, and the flying army, naked, dismantled, and undisciplined, was rejoiced to find itself once more in the provinces from w hich it had poured forth, but a few months before, to plant its standard 011 the seraglio. This was defeat and disgrace, and every man who hates aggression exulted iu the shame of the invade But in this exultation we must not forget the actual conclusions that force themselves 011 the understanding from a general view of Ihe campaign. Russia, beaten as she has been, has yet shewn that she is too strong for the Turk ; she has mastered Varna, a situation of high importance to her further movements, and she has been able to baffle every exertion to wrest it out of her hands. She has seized some minor fortresses, aud in every instance she has been equally able to repel the efforts of the enemy. She has also con- quered a city between the Balkan and Constantinople, w hich, if she shall pass the mountains, will lie a place of arms for her troops, and a formidable obstacle 011 the flank of the Turkish army. I11 Asia, her successes have been regular and progressive. Paskevitch has advanced with the troops which beat the Persians, has taken some of the strongest places on the south of the Black Sea, and what he has once taken, 110 Turkish effort has been able to retake. The southern shore of the Hlack Sea, in its whole length, is open to Russian disembarkation ; and an army of 50 thousand men marched . down to Odessa, would keep the entire coast in a stale of agitation, probably give an oppor- tunity to the rebellious pachas of Asia to rise, and would, unquestionably, hy their landing, make a most formidable addition to the perplexities of the Sultan The system of the Russian discipline, finance, and influence over the population of the North, is so immeasurably superior to the broken anil disorderly polity of the Turk, that if the w ar be a work of time, victory must fall to ( lie Czar. On Ihe other hand we must remember the daring and sagacious spirit of the Sultan, the fierce bravery of the people, the power of the most warlike superstition on earth, the national abhorrence of the Muscovite, and even the new intre- pidity of recent succcss. A still more powerful clement of dcfence remains, the jealousy or prudence of the great European kingdoms. The possession of Constantinople, hy the masters of Moscow and St. Petersburg, would shake the whole European system, by giving, for the time at least, an exorbitant influ- ence to Russia. England would see in it the threat- ened conquest of India: France, the complete supremacy of Ihe Levant, aud the exposure of her own shores to a Russian fleet on the first hostilities. Spain, though fallen in the scale, must still resist a measure, which would lay open her immense sea- line from Barcelona to Cadiz. Austria, alone, might look upon it with some complacency, if she were bribed by the possession of Albania, or the prospect of plauting her banners in the Morea. But the aggrandizement of Austria would be resisted by Prussia, and then the whole continent must hear the Russian trumpets as a summons to prepare for universal war. The possession of Constantinople would be, not merely the mastery of tbe emporium of Asiatic trade, nor of a great fortress from which Asia and the East of Europe might be awed ; but it would be an imme- diate and tremendous instrument of European dis- turbance by'its perpetual transmission of the whole naval strength of Russia into the centre of Europe. The Russian fleet is unimportant, while it is liable to be locked up for half the year iu the ice of the North ; or while, to reach the Mediterranean, it must make the circuit of Europe. But if the passage of the Dardanelles were once her own, there is no limit to the force which she might, form iu the Black Sea, and pour down direct into the Levant. There can be no doubt, that with this occasion for the employment of a naval force, Russia would throw a vast portion of her strength into a naval shape; and that while the Circassian forests furnished a tree, or the plains, from tbe Ukraine to Archangel, supplied hemp- and tar, fleet upon fleet would be created in the dock- yards of the Crimea, and be poured down in overwhelming numbers into the Mediterranean. Thus it is impossible that the Czar shall attack Constantinople without involving tbe world in war, and in that war England must be a principal. Tbe premier's opinion has been distinctly stated on this subject, and so far as we can rely 011 the fluctuating wisdom of cabinets, it coincides with that of France and Prussia. To arrange more systematically the resistance to the ruin of Turkey, the Duke of Wel- lington is said to be on the eve of an extensive European tour, in which he will ascertain the de pendence to be placed upon the courts, and discover how far the Czar may have learned moderation from his last campaign. But the world is in a feverish state ; ambition is reviving; Conspiracy is gathering on the Continent; and the first hour that sees the Russian superiority in the field decisive, will see the great sovereignties remonstrating, arming, and finally rushing, as to a new crusade, but with the sword unsheathed, not for the fall, but for tbe defcnce of the turbans! That this will be the ultimate consequence we have no doubt. But the time may not be immediate. We are inclined to think that, the French war has not yet been sufficiently forgotten by tbe states of central Europe to suffer them to run file hazards of collision without tbe most anxious efforts for its avoidance. There is a general deficiency of money. All the great powers are actually, at this hour, living 011 leans. ' There is no power in Europe whose revenue is enough for its expenditure. Even here we are borrowing. Our three millions of exchequer bills, issued in the fifteenth year of peace, shows us how little the finance system lias sustained our expect- ations. A war, even for a year, would double onr expenditure. O11 the continent, Rothschild is the true monarch. Every state is in his books, and what 11111st be the confusion, the beggary, and the ultimate bankruptcy of hostilities. The fall of every throne must follow the bankruptcy of every exchequer, and the whole social system be broken up amid revo- lutionary havoc and individual misery. We believe that the four great powers are so fully convinced of the evil of this tremendous hazard, that they are struggling in every shape of diplomacy to avert the continuance of a war between Turkey and Russia If they succeed, peace wili, in all probability, continue for a few years more; if they fail, Europe must instantly arm, and a scene of warfare be roused, to which there has been 110 equal since the fall of the Roman Empire. But no skill of diplomacy, no terror of thrones, and no poverty of nations, can avert tbe evil beyond a certain time. War will come. We ire now treading on the fuel that will be kindled into an irresistible blaze ; empires will be consumed ; and the old and accumulated guilt of mankind will be at length revenged !— Monthly Magazine.

The Minister of Commerce of France addressed a speech fo the Chamber of Deputies a few days ago, which ought to he engraved on the wainscot anil the seats of the House of Commons. It ought to be printed in parallel columns with the speeches of the Huskissons, Hortons, Peels, Grants, Thompsons, Smiths, and all the other liberals. For good sense, practical wisdom, and sound commercial views, it ought to put these shallow quacks to the blush. It is a lecture on political economy that does honour to the Minister hy whom it was spoken, and to the Assembly by whom it was heard. It is clear, forcible, and convincing. Its principles are generous because they are just— they are patriotic because they breathe independence— they are noble because they are prac- ticable, defensive, and beneficial. We wish we had space to insert tbe whole of the address, but, this being impossible, we shall extract a few sentences to show how well the French Minister understands the interests of bis country :— " Unrestricted freedom for trade at home, and nil the freedom compatible with manifest necessities for foreign trade, are tlie conditions of our industry of every kind. If a protecting system were to yield abruptly to a system of unrestricted freedom in trans- actions between all nations, foreign labour would come into lite French markets, nnd usurp the. place of naiiuiiul labour. A prudently devised protecting system is the necessary nnd permanent regulator of tlie divers conditions under which nations exercise ilieir industry. Almost every branch of French in. dustry would lie in peril llie moment il bad lo stand ill competition in lite market* of Prance, without protec- tion, nguiusl foreign produce uud manufactures. Even if, as some persons argue, the branches of in- dustry destroyed could be replaced by other brunches more profitable, ibis would occasion a socilil pertur- bation, the consequences of which coulil not be nalici. paled without HIUIIII. It is not that France would cease to produce corn, to cultivate the olive- tree, flax, nnil hemp, and to breed cattle, horses, and sheep, f tbe corn of the Crimen and Poland, the hemp of the north, ihe Max of Belgium, 1 lie oil of the Levant and Italy, the oxen of ( jpruniuy unil the Netherlands, the wool of Spain nnd Moravia, nnd the horses of l'ries- lund and Meckleuburgh, were admitted duty free ; but the price of till these objects would become dis- cnurnyiug, and perhaps insupportable to Ihe French grower and breeder. Still less would the iron works, the cotton, the linen, 11111I woollen cloth, unci the liurd- waie tnaintfuelnrii's of France be able lo stand against llie unchecked invasion of English colton goods, Flemish linen nnd woollen drapery, the iron and hard- ware of Sweden, England, nnd Germany. Even the flourishing manufactories of Lyons would receiie a shock bv the free impoitnlioll of India silks, which, iu 1820, nt the ontcrv of die manufacturers of Lyons, were prohibited, instead of paying a duty of 20 per cent " By this we perceive how carefully France guards her manufactures against the consequences of foreign competition— with what jealous and paternal solici- tude she watches over native industry mill national independence. If any article of foreign manufacture were imported to the injury of the native workman, from that moment that article would be prohibited. If a single bandana from India were offered fur sale in Paris, and one bandana less wove 111 Lyons in consequence, that India bandana would be the last which would be admitted to France. She will take none of our cottons— none of our steam- loom rags — none of our rotten muslins— none of our Sheffield cutlery— not one single article which she can make herself, although at a dearer rate than we could furnish it. She scorns our goods in the proud tone of an independent nation She does not even thank us for our consumption of her wines— she cares not a sol for our consumption of Iter silks, kid gloves, or any thing else. We may exclude them to- morrow if we please— she will neither blame nor upbraid us. This is her policy towards us, and towards every other nation ; and therefore she merely laughs at our weakness and ignorance in pursuing a system which is every day increasing the number of our paupers. Foreign competition, we all know, has inflicted upon us a serious injury. Yet we have not, the sense or the spirit to restrain it. The glover is reduced to beggary— but still we import French gloves. The silk- weaver is starving on our streets, committing ovtrages from despair— yet we continue to import French silks. The wool- grower may as well burn as sell his wool, yet ship- loads of German wool arrive daily. The fancy shoemaker cannot earn half the pay of a private soldier— yet every large shop in London is filled with foreign shoes. The lobster we mangle in making sauce to spoil the flavour of our iced Salmon, comes from Norway. Our turbots and eels come from Holland. Our butter is Dutch, and our eggs Fiviich. Our daughters drive to church decorated with Flanders lace and French ribbons— get married in French kids — and elope in French slippers, anil with their French cambrics saturated with Parisian whiskey. The muslin- weaver is starv- ing— yet our very kitchen- maids appear in French opera cloaks, and in neckerchiefs which John the footman bought in the Palais Royale at a shop where he was cheated, and with money which he did not earn honestly. This is the new system '.— Morn- ing Journal. The French Papers of last week mention as a very prevailing rumour, that sanguinary battles had taken place in tbe vicinity of Silistria and Choumla, in which the Turks are stated to have displayed great determination and ferocity; and some of the fortified posts occupied by the Russians between Varna and the Danube, to secure their line of communication, are said to have been carried by the Turks. The King of Sardinia, according to the French Papers, left Genoa on Ihe 12th ult. for Naples, on board a squadron of three frigates, conveying his suite and most of his ministers. The avowed object of his voyage is a visit to the King of the two Sicilies; hut private reports state, that a congress of Italian I'rinces is to take place, under the superintendence of Austria, for the purpose of forming a league, and placing at the disposal of that power the troops and the direction of the policy of all the Italian sovereignties.

Kensington Gardens were the fashionable resort at five o'clock, wherein greens and lilacs were the fashionable colours in dresses, but white gossamer prevailed. The Earl of Blessinton died 011 Saturday, the 23d of May, at Paris. On that day his Lordship was in good health, bat after taking a luncheon, consisting of a mutton chop, and to him an unusual quantity of Eau de Melise, he rode out in the heat of the day 011 horseback, along the Champs FJysees, and was sud- denly attacked with apoplexy.

By the arrival of the Marchioness of Ely from Calcutta, we have received papers to tbe 29th Jan. The following is an extract from the Calcutta Jcht Hull of the 28th :—" VVe are happy in being able to state, that fhe latest accounts from the Governor Gerfcral report the progress of his I/ irdship's recovery to he most favourable. His Lordship is expected to return to the presidency by the route of Berhamjfore. We hear that Lady William Bentinck will . not, in consequence, proceed to. Kingpore, as was expected." CI.

The Association is at full work. Committees are appointed, rent collected, Counsel chosen, and Agents nominated. The adverse parties are not looking tamely on.

For our own parts we verily believe, and our belief is not founded upon mere hearsay, that there will not be three hundred and fifty Ten- pound Freeholders registered. The number trebled would not ensure Mr. O'Connell's election; and if our in- formation be correct, his game is up.

" What has he" ( Sir P. Bel lew) says the candidate, " what has he done, or is capable of doing for Ireland > What have I achieved, and what am I able to effect for my country? Who has spoken with more fearlessness and with more energy than I have? Who in the cause of his country has stood more undaunted on the threshold of danger, and looked with less dismay on the terrors cf incarceration ?

John Powell, a saildle- makcr, in the employ of Mr. Ruscoe, of this town, has been committed to gaol to take his trial, on a charge of being the person that effected ( lie recent robbery of Mr. Ruscoe's premises, as stated in our last Journal.— The stolen plate was found concealed in Powell's house, and the marks had been filed oft'. Also committed to our County Gaol, William Evans, charged with stealing one pound fifteen shillings and sixpence, the property of John Rces, of Shrewsbury, carrier; and Matthew Jones, charged with stealing one bushel of flour, the property of Samuel Ridley, of the parish of Worfield. The following Convicts, sentenced at our last Assizes, were sent, from our Gaol, on Wednesday last, for the hulks:— Thomas Garbett, Joseph Edwards, William Miles, Joseph Blizzard, and Paul Higgins, for life ; William Jervis, Andrew Davies, and John Robinson, for fourteen years.— At tbe same time was sent off', William Jones, tried at our late Town Sessions, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. A PRECEDENT.— At the late meeting on the state of the country in Birmingham, Mr. Attwood, the banker, in advocating the adoption of measures for compelling Ministers to consent to Parliamentary Re- form, recommended to the meeting " union, sucb as the Irish exhibited— the arrangement of a mass of moral and physical force; the violation of no law ; which should command success, as it had commanded it for the Roman Catholics. The combination of peaceful tranquillity with the collection of finances, ( for money was the sinew of law, as well as of war), might gather in England an array vol less formid- able, than that legally exhibited in Ireland, and in that array, he would be an humble labourer in the vineyard." The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel may depend 011 it, that this is not the first instance to which their imbecile conduct in yielding to the clamours of the Irish Papists will give a precedent; and that whenever the multitude require a change in politics, or any other matter, they will obtain it by " legal agitation."

DISTRESS IN WALES.— For some months past very great distress has prevailed among the working classes in the neighbourhood of Wrexham, Ruabon, and other parts of Denbighshire, in consequence of the gradual decline of the iron and coal works. This distress has recently been greatly increased by the failure of Mr. Jones, of Gardden, whose bankruptcy appears in this day's paper, and by which several hundred men who were in his employ are thrown out of work, and their families reduced to a state of utter destitution. Some of the men have been hitherto partially employed 011 the turnpike roads, and in the grounds of that patriotic gentleman, Sir W. VV. Wynn, Bart. The privations endured by the families of these poor men are very great, and they are a griev- ous burden upon the tradesmen and petty shopkeepers of the district. The very depressed state of the iron trade holds out no inducement to any person to carry on works in that branch of business at present; so that there is but little prospect of any immediate improvement in the situation of these poor people.— Chester Chronicle.

JONATHAN SCOTT, Esq. LL. D. [ From the Gentleman's Magazine.'] DIED, Feb. 11, at his residence, St. John's Row, Shrewsbury, aged 75, Jonathan Scott, Esq. LL. D. He was the third son of Mr, Jonathan Scott, of Shrewsbury, by Mary, daughter of Humphrey Sand- ford, Esq. of The Isle, near that town. Dr. Scott received the rudiments of his educatiou at the Royal Free Grammar School in his native town, which he left for India at the early age of twelve. He continued to reside in that country for many years, during which he proceeded diligently to study its languages aud history ; and became a Captain in the Hon. East India Company's service. His rising abilities and meritorious conduct soon gained him the patronage of Warren Hastings, Esq. then Governor- General of Bengal, & c. to whom, from his excellent knowledge of the Persian language, he was appointed Persian Secretary, and elected a member of the Asiatic Society, Calcutta. In Oriental Literature in general Dr. Scott was well skilled, perhaps equalled by few of his contem- poraries, and has added much to the store of informa- tion respecting the extensive Empire of Hindoostan. History was his favourite study, with which, in a political and civil point of view, he was well ac- quainted. On his return to England for retirement, he was not allowed to remain inactive, but received the ap- pointment of Oriental Professor at the Royal Military and East India Colleges, & e. a situation which he filled with great credit ; and the University of Oxford conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, June 2( 3, 1805. As an author he will long be remembered in the following works, which he pub- lished:— In 1786, " A Translation of the Memoirs of Eradut Khan, ( a nobleman of Hindoostan,) containing: interesting- anecdotes of the Emperor Aulumgeer Aurumgzeoe, and of his successors, Shaw Auluin and Jeliaundur Shaw, in which are displayed the causes of the very precipitate decline of the Mogul Empire." Quarto, pp, 96. In 1794, " A Translation of Ferishta's History of Dekkan, from the first Malmmmfedan Conquests, with a continuation from other native writers of the events in that part of India, to the reduction of its last monarchs by the Emperor Aulumgeer Aurum"; zebe. Also the reigns of his successors in the Empire of Hindoostan to the period of publication. With the History of Bengal from the Accession of Aliverdee Khan to the year 1780." 2 Vols. 4to. pp. 411, 461.— This work contains several notes shewing the History and Manners of the Natives, and illustrating foreign customs and uncommon names In 1798, an " Historical and Political View of the Decan, including- a sketch of the extent and revenue of the Mysorean Dominions, as possessed by Tippoo Sultaun at tlie commence- ment of the war in 1798." " Octavo, pp. 56.— To this pamphlet is added an appendix, preceded by a refutation of some stric- tures on the accuracy of the revenue statements, and shewing the alterations which have happened in the finance and relative condition of the Prince Tippoo, in consequence of the partition treaty concluded in 1792, and subsequently to the time when the pamphlet was written. In 1799, " Bahar^ Danush, or Garden of Knowledge, an Oriental Romance, translated from the Persic of Eiwaint Oollah." 3 Vols. 8vo. In 1800, Tales, Anecdotes, and Letters, from the Arabic aud Persian, 8vo pp. 446. In 1811 he published, in 6 volumes, " The Arabian Nights' Entertainments," carefully revised and corrected from the Arabic; t. o which he added a selection of new tales, then first translated from the Arabic originals. To these he prefixed a copious introduction, interspersed also by many valuable notes illustrative of the religion, manners, and customs of the Mahummedans. Dr. Scott was a gentlemen possessed of a disposition the most kind and generous, quite retired in his habits, and unostentatious in his manners; whilst his extreme modesty in reference to his literary pro- ductions and mental endowments was remarkable, though he was on all occasions most ready to foster and encourage the dawn of rising talent in others; and his townsman, the present Professor of Arabic in the University of Cambridge, is known to have partici- pated in his valuable instructions, lie was warmly attached to the Church of England, aud adorned the doctrines which he professed by the kind and efficient aid he afforded to every deserving object. Notwithstanding the effects of a long residence in an eastern clime, laborious study, and a protracted life, had considerably enfeebled him, yet the energies of his powerful mind remained to the last unimpaired ; and w hen the lender thread of bis mortal career was broken, he was gathered to his fathers as a shock of corn to the garner fully ripe ; — ripe indeed for that glory which it hath not entered into the heart of man adequately to conceive. His remains were interred near those of his parents, in the Bishop's Chancel of Old St. Chad's Church, Shrewsbury, and under the site formerly occupied by the hnndsome altar tomb iu memory of Speaker Onslow, removed some time since to the Abbey Church in the same town. Dr. Scott married his cousin Anne, daughter of the Rev. Daniel Austin^ M. A. Rector of Beriington, co. Salop, who survives him, and hy whom he had issue a son and a daughter. The former died young, and the latter, Anna Dorothea, married R. VV. Slokea, Esq. of London. Dr. Scott had four brothers, three of whom entered early in the Honourable East India Company's Ser- vice. John the eldest attained the rank of Major, and interested himself much in the celebrated trial of Warren Hastings, Esq.; on succeeding to some ex- tensive estates, he took the name of Waring, and died in 1819. Richard entered the service as Cadet in 1768, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel, and retired on full- pay in 1797. In the course of his services he distinguished himself under the celebrated Lieut.- General Sir Eyre Cootc, K. 13. in the war with Hyder Ali Khan, and under the Marquess Cornwallis in the war with Tippoo Sultaun. Henry Scott, Esq. of Beslow Hull, co. Salop, the only survivor of the brothers, and who also held a distinguished situation in the Bengal Establishment, proposed about three years ago to publish the Military Memoirs of Lieut.- Colonel Richard Scott, from the journal which that gentleman kept from his arrival in Bengal to the year 1793, and the mass of manuscripts he had left ; this proposition not meeting with sufficient encourag- ement has been relinquished, and we are consequently de- prived of much valuable information respecting ihe public events of the warfare with the French, Dutch, Hyder Ali, the Mahratta States, and Tippoo Saltauii. The youngest son, Foliott, was a mercer in London, and with his sister Dorothea, who married Mr. Stokes, father of Dr. Scott's son- in- law, has been decease 1 several years. TEETH. MR.

THE LATE CAPTAIN CROW. THE MALT TRADE. After various conferences, the Chancellor of tlie Exchequer has at. length definitively acquiesced to the proposal of the committer for the protection of the malt trade, which proposal was, that three of t ie principal officers of the excise should he allowed to meet three of the maltster's committee, to discuss the points at issue in the existing bill, and to report their united opinions to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as early as the nature of tbe case will admit The Chancellor has consented, with tlie qualificati 11 t'. at he shall not consider himself bound to net upon the report which the referees might make, since any change must be determined with reference to other branches of the revenue, and higher interests than those involved in this particular branch of trade. The maltstc s have elected, as their referee*-, Crisp Brown, Esq. of Norwich, William Ford, Esq. of Nine Elms, Lrtnd > n, anil W. Herepath, Esq. of Bristol, F. R S. Up to Thursday,, no appointment of referees had been made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the behalf of His Majesty's Government, and it was intimated that some days might elapse b fore persons were selected. This mode of proceeding is one of considerable novelty, and it may prove a pre- cedent for oilier departments of the revenue. It was proposed in consequence of its having been found impracticable to Obtain the attention of any minister for a sufficient length of time for him to become acquainted with the technical details of the business, and consequently with the bearing of some of the most important revenue regulations. Deputation after deputati n made representations of the injury done not less to the revenue than to the trade by pernicious regulations, which could have no other effect than that of breeding delinquency and litiga- tion and heavy law expenses to all parties. During the last session of parliament a return of the expenses of prosecutions w as moved for, and when it was made it was found to be replete with such items as— « Penalty recovered £ 100; Law expenses £ 100. " Penalty recovered £ 200; Law expenses £ 200. The majority of the prosecutions were for the breach of useless and in most instances mischievous regulations. The present act. contains not less than 106 penalties, amounting, altogether, to the sum of £ 13,500, when, under a well- formed code, one- tenth the amount of legislation and penalties would have given far greater protection to the revenue. The complaints were in general referred to those who had a direct interest in maintaining the abuses complained of. This evil has been checked by giving ihe law officers in question fixed salaries, instead of making their emoluments depend ou the number of prosecu- tions for breaches of the revenue laws. After getting the law altered as nearly as possible to the perspicu- ous shape of a well- framed code, the next object which the committee of maltsters in their discussions have proposed is to get. the process of tbe manufac- ture of malt unfettered from the present restrictions, and he left open lo improvement in the process. At present they are confined to one process, when they ought to be permitted to vary it, lo meet the variation in the quality of the article. The present malt act holds out great encouragement ftir fraud, which it is the interest o" the respectable portion of the trade, not less ban that of the government to prevent. Front a return which has been made within a few- days, it appears that the quantity of malt manufac- tured in the united kingdom during the last year was 29,019,207 bushels. Of this quantity 22,5- 6,034 bushels were consumed by brewers and victuallers, and only 3,383,264 by distillers.

The Hussar Brigade, consisting of the 10th and 15th Regiments of Hussars, were reviewed on Friday morning, on Hounslow Heath, by General Lord Hill, G. C. B. and G. C. H. Commander- in Chief. The Brigade marched to the ground at trti o'clock, and formed in open column of squadrons; at half- past ten the Brigade wheeled into line, and took open order. At eleven o'clock, General Lord Hill, attended by his Staff, and accompanied by the Dukes of Orleans and Charlies, the Marquis of Anglesey, K. G. G. C B. and G. C. H. the Marquis of Londonderry, G. C. B. and G. C. H. Major- General Sir Colquhoim Grant, K. C. B. and K. C. H. and several other General Officers, came upon the ground, antl took his station in front of the centre of the brigade, which presented arms. General Lord Hill, attended by a grand military cortege, rode to the right of the line, passed down in front, and up the rear, and took his station at bis original position. Major- General Sir H. Vivian, Bart. K. C. B. and K. C. H who commanded, ordered the brigade to take close order, and lo wheel back into open columns of troops. The brigade then passed in slow and quick time in review order, and after arriving on their original ground, commenced a number of evolutions and manoeuvres, which are quite new cavalry move- ments. The manoeuvres were executed with great celerity and precision— the wheeling w as performed in fine style, and the charges were admirable. The brigade, after having executed the whole of the movements prescribed, wheeled into line, took open order, antl gave t'ie general salute. Lord Hill then rode forward, and, addressing Major- General Sir Hussey Vivian, expressed himself highly gratified at the distinguished manner in which the manoeuvres antl evolutions were executed. Lord Hill, attended by his Stall', and a vast number of General Officers, then left the ground. There was a strong muster of beauty and fashion, and a great concourse of equestrians and pedestrians of every description, on tbe Heath. The morning was very favourable for the performance of the movements It was, undoubtedly, a grand military spectacle. Total,., LOT 18.

[ FROM GORE'S LIVERPOOL PAPER.] In our obituary last week the name of this gentle- man appeared. In the hazards, storms, and perils of his arduous profession, few men have encountered more difficulties— none acquitted themselves with higher or more distinguished credit. His frank and gallant bearing, and contempt of danger, when the interests. of his employers demanded great and peril- ous sacrifices, have been justly praised and honourably rewarded. In early life he entered the mercantile navy of his country, and during a long and eventful period of service, weathered many a hard and trying gale. In 1794, a large French corvette of 24 long ,. 12- pounders captured his vessel, and both the winter of that and the following year he suffered incarcer- ation in a French prison, where, in the course of a few months, 1600 persons died, chielly through famine' The pitiable scenes of Ugolino's tower might have found a parallel in this citadel of horrors, and Captain Crow suffered miseries before which the stoutest heart would sink. He escaped, after tra- versing 1600 miles of a hostile country, in the depth of winter, and once more took his station on that element which suited his bold and dauntless spirit. In the course of his subsequent life he was in five conflicts; was stranded and cast away eight times; saved the crews of four vessels; and in 1806 was engaged in an action, which, however much to be deplored, reflected the highest credit upou his skill and bravery. He then commanded the ship Mary, of this port, belonging to W. Aspinall, Esq. and when iu the latitude of Tobago, and in about 53 degrees west longitude, he espied two sail a head, which he con- sidered to be cruizers from Cayenne. On perceiving him they tacked and gave chace, and eventually bore down upon him. His vessel mounted 28 guns, and his crew consisted of between 60 and 70 men. He was hailed and ordered to bring to, which he refused, and instantly received a broadside on his starboard quarter. This was returned briskly, and a running light continued between his and both vessels from 10 p. m. until 5 in the morning, when he was obliged to strike, his shy* making a deal of water, his main- mast gone, three of his guns disabled, his sails and rigging . cut to pieces, his boatswain killed, and himself and several of his crew dangerously wounded. When boarded what, must have been his and his captors' feelings, to find the vessels against which he had so determinedly fought were his Majesty's sloops Dart and Wolverine, one carrying 30 guns 32- pounders, and the other 18 guns 32- pounders, then stationed ii those seas for the protection of our commerce. Mutual regrets were exchanged, and a most flattering- certificate was tendered to him by the commander of the Dart, for his heroic conduct in the action. The underwriters at Lloyd's were likewise not unmindful of his merits, which they manifested by their offer to insure his vessel 5 per cent, lower than any other ship sailing in the same latitude— no undue tribute to the worth— no ungrateful compliment to the feelings of a BRITISH SEAMAN. [ FROM THE MANKS ADVERTISER.] The funeral of the late Captain Crow, whose re- mains arrived at Ramsay the preceding Sunday, took place on Wednesday se'rinight, at St. Maughold Church, and was very numerously and respectably attended. We counted seventeen carriages in the procession. ' The coffin was splenditj^; and every attention which, pn such an occasion, could reflect honour on the memory of our dear countryman, was expressed through the whole of the awful ceremony. The gentleman who had the arrangement of the ceremonials, did credit to his deceased relative, in the appointment of the solemnities. All the gentry of the neighbourhood attended the remains of this once gallant sailor to the grave. His bravery was equalled only by the benevolence of his heart. He has left benefactions to all the charitable institutions of the towns of his native Isle,— nor did he forget White- haven, where he had served his time, to the poor of which he has made a handsome bequest. We would say to every native whom fortune has prospered, " Go, and do thou likewise." DARING INSTANCE OF HOUSEBREAKING. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE.

The deceased was a young man, a miller by trade, and kept company with one of the prisoner's daughters; tlw prisoner did not approve of the inti- macy, and frequently desired the deceased not to come to his house ; he had also reproved his daugh ter, on account ot' the deceased being a young man of loose habits, but the daughter still continued to encourage the addresses of the deceasetl, and fre- quently had interviews with him at Iter father's house. On one of these occasions, in the month of July, 1824, the prisoner catne home. The deceased endeavoured to escape, but the prisoner closely pursued him, and with a bayonet, he believed, inflicted a dreadful wound upon the deceased, of which, after lingering a day or two, be died. The prisoner escaped, and has never been heard of till now. £ 1000. It appears that the whole of Mr. Grant's servants regularly attend a place of worship, and of this circumstance the thieves must by some means or other have obtained a knowledge. A few minutes before eleven o'clock, the housekeeper and three other female servants, being all Mr. Grant's domestics who remained at home ( Mr. Grant, with his men- servants, being at tbe house of Ilis brother, John Grant, Esq. at Nuttall Hall, near Bury), locked tip the house, tbe housekeeper taking the key of the frontdoor with her, and went to St. Peter's Church as usual. On their return home, at about half- past twelve o'clock, the housekeeper applied the key to the lock, antl though it entered as usual she could not turn it. Under an apprehension that the lock had sustained some damage, she sent, for a man from Mr. Lacy's, at the Royal Hotel, for the purpose of getting over tbe yard- wall nt the back of the house ; hut. before his arrival another of the servants tried the key, which she turned with perfect ease. This circumstance led to the inference, after the robbery had been discovered, that some one was in the house at the time; but it is difficult to reconcile this sup- position with another afterwards formed, that the thieves bad at that period got to some distance out of town, except upon the possibility that, some other person had got into the house, through Ihe back- door, after the principal actors had left the scene. On the servants entering the house they instantly observed a skeleton key lying upon a chair in the lobby. They, however, did not know what it was; but tliey were immediately afterwards convinced that the house had been robbed, for on proceeding a little further the back- door and the door of the butler's pantry, which had been left locked, were found opened. In a state of great alarm one of the servants ran off to the police- office, & another went to the house of Mr. Worthington, Mr. Grant's father- in- law, who also lives in Mosley- street. Mr. Worthington immedi- ately sent off an express to Mr. Grant, with intelligence of the robbery. In the mean time, on inspection of the premises by the police, it was discovered that almost every drawer, cupboard, trunk, & c. had been forccd open, and ransacked of every thing they contained in the shape of jewellery, plate, & c.; and the estimated amount of property stolen is little, if at all, less than £ 1000. Two or three crow- bars and pick- locks, of the most finished workmanship, were found in different parts of the house; and the skele- ton- key was so ingeniously made that Mr. Lavender was convinced it had been manufactured in London. The plate consisted of richly- chased silver tea- pots, coffee- biggins, cream- ewers, sugar- bowls, salts, snuf- fers, trays, waiters, bread- baskets, candlesticks, tea, table, gravy, and dessert spoons, & c. & c. all marked with Sir. Grant's crest, with the mottos " Cpaig elachie," ( by a mistake of the engraver for " Craig elachie,") and " Hare at you." A variety of trinkets, in rings, brooches, & c. were also stolen, and about thirty pairs of silk stockings, with other articles. A large hlack leather trunk, studded with brass nails, and a small common trunk, covered with paper, belonging to the housekeeper, and which contained her clothes, were taken away, but the contents left upon the floor. In these trunks, it is supposed, the property was packed up, for in the butler's pantry, itr which place the greater part of the plate was depo- sited, was found a knife, with which it appeared a rope had been cut, as an end of it lay close by it. Upwards of £ 200 worth of plate, which was in a small cupboard in tbe butler's pantry, escaped the observation of the thieves. Means were immediately taken in the hope of apprehending the depredators, antl officers were dis- patched to Stockport and Didsbury, where they searched the London coaches, but without making- any discovery. From subsequent inquiries, it was conjectured that Ihe thieves had left the town about half- past twelve o'clock on Sunday morning, by the Peveril of the Peak London coach. It was said that a person of rather suspicious appearance, having in his custody two trunks resembling those stolen out of Mr. Grant's house, was seen to mount upon the roof of the above- named coach near Ardwick Green, taking of course the boxes along with him. Until Wednesday evening it was generally believed that the booty had been carried off by this individual ; but on the return of the coach- guard on that night it was ascertained that the suspected person was respect- able in his circumstances, and was well known both to the coachman and the guard. Since this informa- tion was received the Police- officers have been unremittingly engaged in endeavouring to trace the thieves, but hitherto without success. It seems very probable that this daring robbery was effected by expert housebreakers of metropolitan notoriety. The whole of Iheir operations prove that they are adepts in their calling; but still we are of opinion that they must have acted in concert with some thieves who unhappily belong to this town, and who might be acquainted with the premises, other- wise it does not appear to us that so much plunder could have been carried oil'in so very short, a period. We trust that further inquiries may throw some light — *'... . r.'..: _ It is said that. Mr. Campbell, the King's Counsel, is to be raisctl fo the Chief Judgeship of Chester. Tuesday last, Richard Griffiths, Esq. ( second son of Richard Griffiths, Esq. of Thorngrove, near Worcester), was called to the degree of Barrister- al- law, by tbe Hon. Society at Lincoln's Ion. The sale of the collection of the late Mr. West's pictures at his gallery in Newman- street, is stated to have realised upwards of £ > 5,000. The accounts from the manufacturing districts, within the last two or three days, concur in represent- ing that an improvement in trade has begun to mani- fest itself. At. Liverpool, it, is stated, that amendment begins to be felt, and that the cotton market is steady, with a tendency fo rise. At Manchester an increased demand for goods has shewn it self; at Glasgow, after a stagnation of ten months, symptoms of revival are perceptible. Tranquillity universally prevails among the working- classes in the country, which will materi- ally tend to assist improvement. Spitalfields, unfor- tunately, exhibits a. different picture from that fur- nished by tbe distant districts. The workmen appear still disposed to acts of outrage and violence, anil strong measures, it is feared, may become necessary. A singular instance of the means which some thrifty tradesmen take to " make the best of a bad job," occurred in this town last week. AN undertaker, in Salford, was employed to make a coffin for a deceased customer; but, unfortunately, on the arrival of the " wooden surtout" at, the habitation of the dead, it was found that the artist had mistaken the longitudinal measure of his man, arid the article was consequently returned upon bis bands. The question then was how to get rid of the misfit; when the undertaker, an ingenious fellow, hit upon the lucky expedient of " putting it up for a rallle" al a neighbouring public- house. The scheme succeeded; and the present fortunate possessor, in order to employ his bargain until be shall require it for a graver purpose, has inserted in it a number of shelves, and placed it in his sitting- room as a corner cupboard I— Manchester Aduei tiser. On Wednesday morning, a man who says his name i* IVilliam Arnold, and that he conies from Nauntou, Worcestershire, was taken into custody at.

He arrived about four o'clock in the morning, ap- peared to have travelled all night, and the mare was completely knocked tip"; she is a dark brown, with four saddle- marks; the near hind foot is white behind; there are many grey hairs in her mane and tail.

MARCH OF POETRY.— The Reporter of Smithfield market ( London) was quite poetical last week. He says, " the cloud that hung so long over this market still obscures our vision !" and adds, " the mutton trade partakes of this dullness." ANOTHER NORTH- WEST EXPEDITION. On Sunday week, Capt. Ross left Woolwich iu his steam- vessel the Victm'y, with which he is about once more to attempt the discovery of the north- west passage ; but, in this instance, it is said, the expedition is equipped entirely at his own expense. The steam- power employed in the Victory is on a wholly new principle, being so contrived as to combine every advantage of steam- power with perfect capability as a sailing vessel. The boilers occupy so small a space that they are placed between the engines. The con- sumption of fuel is one- half, and the weight of the engines only one- fourth of those generally in use. Another advantage gained is, that a chimney may be tlispensed with, which leaves the deck, masts, and rigging wholly unencumbered. The Vice- Chancellor's Court lias, within these few days, been occupied on a question, whether a sum of £ 1000, left by a Lady Mico in 1670, and which ha accumulated to £:! 0,000, left for the redemption of Barbary slaves, should ( in consequence of Great Britain having suppressed, through Lord Exmoullt's cannonical thunder, the practice of carrying Euro- peans into slavery) be applied to the emancipation of British slaves in the West Indies. The Anti- Slavery Society, and the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves to Christianity, ( of which the Bishop of Lion- don is the President,) have applied,, it appears, to have the application of this fund ; and it is said there is a much iarger sum in tbe hands of the Ironmongers' Company, left for the same object, the appropriation of which will be decided by Ihe case now pending. on the affair.

But if he have any feeling, or any pride, he must be in agony. And he cannot avert the consequences. O'Conncll is within the pale of the law; be cannot be assailed. He is a practical patriot, and is only illustrating the benefits of the duke's pacific measure. He is only honestly and consistently availing himself of his privileges. He is supping upon the marrow of the new bill, and turning to bis own account the rights and honours it confers. A Roman Catholic must he instinctively an enemy of the Protestant establishment and the Protestant reli- gion, or, if not so, he is a grovelling hypocrite. If a sincere Roman Catholic, it is his duty to do all in his power to undermine and overturn our establishments. Daniel O'Connell is, therefore, a man of candour and principle in declaring thus openly his statements. THE CLARE ELECTION. [ From the Morning Journal.] We were told by the liberals and the apostates that tbe concession of tbe Catholic claims would pacify Ireland. They told us that emancipation would be the harbinger of tranquillity - that it would heal the wounds of the excluded and the disaffected — that it would stifle the complaints of the priests and Ihe mob- patriots— that it would be like oil on the troubled waters- and would bring peace, prosperity, and happiness, to that unfortunate country. We denied the assumption, and laughed at the prediction. We knew that concession would only be made the instrument of further sacrifices, and that the Roman Catholics never would be satisfied till they had the supremacy in Ireland, nor tranquil till threatened with the repeal of the measure devised for their relief. Nevertheless the Ministers proceeded with their bill, and carried it under circumstances and by a majority which will, in all future ages, be con- sidered disgraceful to the English character. The measure was forccd upon the King's Ministers by Daniel O'Connell, who is, 1 eyond all comparison, the greatest man that Ireland ever produced. He is a genuine Milesian— a subtle lawyer— an orator of a hundred- horse power— a quack of the first water— a bold, reckless, insolent, overbearing, and accom- plished demagogue. He lias governed Ireland for the last seven years. He has had more influence in that country than His Majesty George the Fourth. He has been the centre and the main- spring of public opinion. With the priests in his rear, and the rabble iu advance, he has defeated all the Wellesleys, the Anglesevs, the Peels, and the Goulburns, and laid' prostrate at his feet tbe ascendancy of the legal church and the boasted institutions of England. He has accomplished more than the Hero of Waterloo could have done with all his legions. He has bullied the English people into snbmission— he has beaten the Ministers of the Crown till they are black in the face— he has made the despicable Whigs his play- things— and he has made some of the people who still call themselves Tories so much ashamed that they scarce dare look at one another. With this man, however, who is their master in every sense of the word, the Ministry have been silly enough to quarrel. Unable to injure him by fair and open hostility, they have insulted him in a sneak- ing and under- hand way. Galled to the heart by his triumphs, they have visited him with that unworthy and undignified treatment, which they knew they durst not visit 011 the people whom he represented, and whose demands he bad enforced. And will Daniel O'Connell forgive tliein ? Will he cringe to them like a servile seeking a place ? Is he the man to beg a favour on his knees?— to turn his coat like a hungry Treasury hunter?— or eat his words, or desert his friends, to gain a peerage or retain the patronage of some half dozen paltry guagerships? He is not flic man. He knows his own powers better. He has two hundred thousand pounds in bis pocket, and the resources of six millions of people at his command. But this man, we say, the Government forgot to conciliate, when conciliation— when unprincipled con- ciliation, and disgusting apostacy, weie the order of the day. They resisted his claim to enter Parliament as the representative of Clare, and to Clare he once more returns to seek his remedy and his revenge. We admire the spirit of the man. It is quite magna- nimous and satanic —" better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." He has published an address to the electors, in which arc the following paragraphs:— 41 The first grievance we huve lo redress is the abolition of the forty- shilling freehold franchise, I do not think tliiil in the annals of legislation there ever yet was passed a law more unjust and groundless than that which destroyed the forty- shilling franchise in Ireland— il destroytd thai franchise for the Catholics ni 11 period when they had exhibited heroic virtue. Jl WHS destroyed for the Catholics on the mere false necnsnlion of n nominal crime — it WHS destroyed for Ihe Proteslauls with still stronger features of injustice, because ibe Protestants were not even accused of any crime. 3! mpertal parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY. THE CURRENCY. The Earl of CARNARVON presented a petition from upwards of 8000 inhabitants of Birmingham, setting forth the distressed slate of tbe trading interests, aud attributing the same lo the contrac- tion of the currency by the return to cash payments and Ihe extinction of the £ 1 notes. The Earl of Carnarvon supported file arguments of tbe petition ; as enforced in the late address of Mr. Attwood, noticed in a former Journal. Tbe petition having been read, The Duke of WELLINGTON rose, and spoke to the following effect:— I am very thankful to the Noble Earl for the intimaliou lhat be did not expect that I should follow him through fhe various details into which he entered respecting the statements contained in the petition now before your lordships, and I am quite sure lhat your lordships do not expect nor desire that I should so follow the Noble Earl through his discussion of such various topics on the mere presentation of a petition to this House. For such a discussion it is impossible that 1 could be prepared, as il would be necessary for me iu the course of it to refer 10 documents which, w ithout a previous knowledge of them being required, I could not have at hand ; bul the Noble Lord has referred to subjects of so much interest— subjects of so much importance to the country— that 1 hope your lord, ships will allow me to advert to them at some length. The Noble Lord, in referring to Ihe dis- tress under which the country has laboured, has adverted to various remedies for that distress, none of which, however, does he himself recommend except one— an alteration of the state of our cur- rency. The Noble Lord admits, however, that it is impossible now to revert to the state of things which existed in 1819, yet condemns Ihe measure recommended by the committee appointed in lhat year. 1 was one of those who sat 011 that com- mittee, and which recommended in that year tbe resumption of cash payments ; aud in defence of that committee 1 must say, that the Noble Bai l is much mistaken if he imagines that lhat committee did not calmly, dispassionately, and impartially deliberate and decide upon the evidence produced before it, and wilh the utmost anxiety to do justice between the public and the public creditor. The Noble Lord is also mistaken in supposing that tbe whole or greater proportion of the debt he referred to was contracted in a depredated currency; but, even if it had been, good faith to the public creditor requires that it shall be paid in the currency of the country. Tbe fact is, however, that the slate or the alteration of the currency has not that effect upon the country which the Noble Lord supposes. Tbe restoration of a metallic currency has nothing to do with Ihe distress which now uuhappily exists, and which I shall proceed to prove. Notwithstanding the repeal, since the war, of taxes to the amount of .£ 27,000,000 ( whether nominal or not 1 shall not discuss), the plain fact is, that, at this moment, the revenue produces more than it did in real currency in the time of war. This I take to be a proof of the increased prosperity of Ibe country ; but it is not the only proof, however, on which I rely for evi- dence of liiat prosperity, for in every branch of our manufactures and productive industry was there last year an increase beyond the average of the three preceding years, notwithstanding the enor- mous produce of some of those years. Under these circumstances, therefore, we must look to some- thing else than the alteration of the currency for the distress of the country. The Noble Earl has referred to the years which have preceded Ihe year 1815 ( years of enormous export, during which any man might obtain any amouiit of money he might want for his speculations 011 his own simple engagement, because at that lime there existed banks which, by accommodating hini, ensured the circulation of llieir notes), and to evidences of wealth which could not by any possibility endure. Now, those persons having enjoyed lhat species of wealth and facility of obtaining money they had 110 right to enjoy, have 110 right to come to this House now and ask thai the same slate of things shall be restored, iu order that they shall continue to re- ceive those facilities. To that stale of things, of which they require the return, is much of the distress of the country attributable, and not lo Ihe measure referred lo by Ihe Noble Earl. But in addition to t hat cause the population of Ihe counlry has since increased, and with it the powers of « ' Send me to Parliament, and I will convince every ralioiiul niuii, and every nuui possessed of sentiments production have increased to a degree almost incoii- of religion, of tin- monstrous injustice attempted to be ceivable, so much indeed, that, from the improve- done to the monastic oxters in heltind try some clauses in the late law.

They have pioduced more scholars— they have furnished more liiiirlym— iliej have preached Christianity 10 more infidel notions. 44 I trust I shiill be the instrument of erasing from the statute- book 1I111I piiltry imitation of tlie worst and still existing portion of French jacobinism— u misera- ble imitillinii— w hie. li pretends to do that which nature nod religion forbid to lie done— to extinguish monastic orders iu Ireland. While il is law' its penalties will be submitted to ; bullet me add, as matter of fact, that its mandule will most assuredly not be obeyed. It was formerly death in Irelund to he a friar, and the Irish eiirtli is'slill scarcely dry from Ihe blood of martyred friars ; the friars multiplied in the face of death. Oh, for the sagacity of Peel, and Ihe awful wisdom of Wellington, thai meditate to suppress monastic orders in Ireland by n pecuniary penally, and the dread of a foreign mission, under the name of banishment !!! 44 If tbp tenantry desire the repeal of the suh- lettiiig net nnd of the vestry bill — if they desire to have ihe parish cess lightened and the grand jury cess nbolish- rd — if they desire to see a domestic provision made for Ihe sick nfid the destitute, anil opportunities nfforded to the strong nnd the healthy lo earn tlie wuges of industry— if they desire lo see Catholic charities estab- lished and secured- if they desire lo seethe Catholic parochial clergy rendered independent and comfortable — if iliey desiie to see the Catholic monnstic orders vindicated and protected— if they desire lo see Cnilio. lie rights und liberties prevented from being sapped and undermined brj the insidious policy of those men who, FALSB TO THEIR OWN PARTV, CAN N BV BR BE TRUE TO us, and wko liuve yielded, not lo reason, bul lo necessity, in grunting us freedom of conscience — if they desire all this, let them do ine the honour lo elect me " This is pacification and the effects of conciliation with a vengeance! Here are the Ministry bearded to their teeth ! Here is the flame of agitation re- kindled with greater fury than ever! Here is the bill' of the apostates denounced, and its enactments proscribed, by the very leader of the men for w hose benefit it was introduced ! O'Connell here tells the Ministry, in the plainest terms, that the concession tbev have given will not satisfy tbe Catholics of Ireland. He calls it a measure of gross injustice. He declares that its mandate will not be obeyed. He declares that, whether in Parliament or out of Parliament, he will never rest till the Catholic parochial clergy are rendered 14 independent and comfortable!" He declares that he will defend the monastic orders, and the order of the Jesuits; and that it will lie bis unceasing endeavour, if returned to Parliament, to restore to the forty- shilling free- holders the rights of which they have been despoiled ! Now this is precisely what we anticipated, although we confess we did not expect to see an avowal of the intentions of the Roman Catholics put so early upon record But the Ministry deserve it all. The Eng- lish people merit the bravado and the insult. They have cast away their swords just when the battle is inents iu, and the general use of, machinery, more work can now be produced in one year than used for- merly to be done iu five years— more, indeed, can be pruduced iu one year than can be taken off our hands in two. Notwithstanding the great increase that has taken place in the commerce of Ihe country, aud of the world, the fact is, lhat, owing- to one of the alternations of demand and stagnation which manufacturers arc subject lo, those engaged in them do at present suffer under distress. As a remedy for thai distress tbe Noble Earl lias recom- mended that we should revert to the system under which the circulation of one- pound bank notes was allowed. Now, with regard to those one- pound bunk notes, I beg leave to recall to the recollection of your lordships Ihe proceedings which took place iu parliament respecting Ihcm. In Ihe year 1826, parliament having found the facility with which that species ofcurrency could be, and was, created and forced into circulation— having had evidence of the evils that had arisen— having learnt the num- ber of bankruptcies that hud taken place through- out the country in consequence of tbe speculations which the facilities lo obtain cash which the small- note system afforded— parliament, I say, passed a law prohibiting the circulation of such notes after the expiration of Ihree years from that period The Noble Earl says that measure occasioned the bankruptcy of great numbers of country bankers. Now, 1 beg the Noble Lord's pardon for telling him he is mistaken. The banks broke before ihe meeting of parliament. The fact, therefore, is, that the failure of Ihe banks occasioned the parlia- mentary measure, and not Ibe parliamentary mea- sure the breaking of the banks. That measure passed in 1826, was to have effcct three years afterwards, is now iu operation, and gold is the current coin of tbe realm. 1 can assure your lord ships, in answer to the allegation that the distress of the country has arisen out of the diminution of our currency, that there are at this moment in circulation more sovereigns and Bank of England notes of large amount than at any previous period that can be mentioned. I, therefore, beg to know in what it is the alleged want of sufficient currency can be found ? There is more of circulating medium than ever there was. ls it because men cannot find credit now who arc not entitled to it? Such a stale of things as that under which Ihey enjoyed such facilities is not what ought to exist, much less be restored, in any country. Those who are worthy of credit have il, and 1 will say, ought to have it- those who are not entitled to it have it not, because the facility of obtaining it has been destroyed by this alteration, there being no person dealing one- pound hank notes now who would assist them in their speculations This was the cause of the distress of 1825— this Ihe evil which parliament by its act of 1826, sought lo remedy, mid did in fact remedy, and I hope it w ill persevere in enforcing its provisions. The Noble Earl says, and says truly, that nothing is more desirable than that Government should be able to carry on its trans- actions by a paper currency founded on a metallic currency. Such, in fact, is the very species of currency we have at present, and, from what has already occurred, we are justified iu the expecta- tion that by its means the transactions of the country will be carried on as they ought to be conducted, without any of those ruinous specula- tions, the indulgence in which has brought the country to its present state of suffering. In speak- ing of the commercial and trading distress of the country the Noble Lord has omitted one of the greatest causes of that distress. I mean the im- mense loss of capital which this country has sus- tained within tbe last eight or ten years by loans to foreign states and governments, neither principal or interest of which has since been, or ever will be, paid The Noble Earl has not, 1 say, adverted to the inconvenience which that loss of capital must have occasioned in all parts of the country ; he has not adverted to the loss which the manufacturing interests in particular have in that way incurred in tbe decreased exports of our manufactures; conse- quently, even in the cases where returns of auy portion of lhat capital have been made in the shape of remittances to pay fhe interest, tbe Noble Lord has not referred to the fact that that very act of payment prevented the party from requiring any export. The distress, which has fallen not merely upon the manufacturing, but upon, indeed, all the great interests of the country, may, therefore, be traced in some degree to those who vested their capitals in such schemes as those I have alluded to, and who In doing so lost them entirely. The Noble Lord called my attention and that of his Majesty's Government to the petition now before your lordships, and the various topics which he discussed, adding, that he trusted they would receive our consideration. The Noble Earl may rest assured that his recommendation will not be neglected, lhat the whole subject shall be carefully < onsidered, and that, if he can suggest anything which would teud iu tbe slightest degree lo amelio- rate the distress of the country, his Majesty's servants will not withhold their advice for its adoption, nor hesitate to come down to parliament with a measure recommending that it be carried into effect.

The Duke of RICHMOND, after forcibly calling the attention of their Lordships to the distressed situation of the wool- growers of the united king- dom, said, by the present rate of duty on foreign wool imported, the British wool- grower was only protected fo Ihe extent of 3 percent.; he should therefore, propose lo add a further duty of 3d. per lb.; and with this view his Grace moved the fol- lowing resolutions :— 44 That if appears from the evidence laid before the Select Committee of this house appointed to take into consideration the state of the British wool trade, that, since the year 1824, there has been a fall in the prices of Southdown wool of oils- half, added to a general depreciation, in a more or less degree, of all wool of British growth. 44 That this depreciation has befallen tbe occu- piers of sheep- farms over and above that which occurred, nearly equal iu extent, simultaneous with the alteration of the currency iu 1819, and simul- taneous with a general nominal reduction in price of all produce, and of all articles of commerce, at that period 44 That it appears from the same evidence that very large tracts of light lands cannot advantage- ously be continued in cultivation without such a price for the wool grown upon them as may enable the farmer to make Ihe breeding or feeding of sheep a constituent and principal feature of his agricul- tural cconomy ; that the result of such lands being thrown out of cultivation would not only deprive the population of those districts especially of the means of their own existence, but, in discouraging and diminishing the breeding of sheep, would en- hance to the labouring classes Ihe price of one primary article of food, and at the same time to a considerable extent place this island, more than it is at present, in dependence upon foreign countries for subsistence. 44 That it appears likewise, from the same evi- dence, that the owners and occupiers of sheep- farms are protected in a less degree from the overwhelming competition of foreign countries ( not being the dominions of Great Britain) than the generality of proprietors of indigenous produce, and arc thus excluded from the general rule of moderate production by duty, adopted and practised modern times by the legislature of Great Britain, In respect to her commercial policy. 44 That, whilst it appears by this evidence that the price of Southdown wool is reduced at this time to one- half of the rate it bore in tbe year 1793, it is notorious that the various slate burthens of paro- chial assessments, and of general taxation, have, within the same period, more than trebled upon the agricultural interests. 44 That, tinder a continuance of the present de- pression in the price of their produce, it would be distressing and ruinous to the wool- growers of England lo be obliged to submit to these increased burthens of the state, oggravated as they have been by the necessity imposed upon the country by the act of 1819 of paying in a metallic currency of full and sterling value the interest of an enormous debt contracted in a currency of greatly depreciated paper. 44 That il is, therefore, highly expedient that parliament take into its serious consideration the distressed condition of the wool- growers, with a view to their relief." The Earl of HAREWOOD said, it was not his intention to contradict the Noble Duke as to the general distress under which the growers of wool ut the present moment laboured ; but ou behalf of that class of the community, as well as of the woollen manufacturers, he felt called upon to state, that any attempt to tax the introduction of foreign wool would have the effcct of injuring both the one aud the other. Tbe trade, it was frue, was dis- tressed, but the question was, could our manufac- turers do without Ihe aid of foreign wool? He maintained that they could not; Ibe moment they attempted to impose a duty upon foreign wool they would drive to the continent that supply which we were at present furnishing to foreign markets, and what then would become either of the wool grower or Ihe manufacturer ? Whatever might be thought lo the contrary, it was a well- known fact that the wool of this country had deteriorated in quality, and with that wool alone, unmixed with foreign wool, it would be impossible to supply foreign markets. He should upon these grounds oppose the resolutions of the Noble Duke. The Duke of NORFOLK, the Earl of MALMES- HURY, and the Marquis of SALISBURY, supported the resolutions of the Duke of Richmond ; which were opposed by Lord WIIARNCLIFFE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and the Earl DFLAWARR. The Duke of RICHMOND, in reply, contended lhat British wool was not deteriorated, and that the imposition of a duty upon foreign wool would greatly increase tbe revenue of Ihe country. He thought that the Board of Trade was more disposed to receive Ihe statements of manufacturers than of agriculturists. On a division, the resolutions were negatived by a majority of 88 to 35. HOUSE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. Tbe motion of Sir RICHARD VYVYAN, on tlie state of the counlry, stood for discussion this eveu- ing ; but there not being forty members present at four o'clock, the House did not proceed to business. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAT 23. In Ihe Matter of the Petition of R. Rest. This was a motion of great importance, directed by the Court of Chancery, to try whether a legacy and annuity, left to tbe insolvent subsequent to his discharge, would pass to his creditors towards liquidating their debts, although the testator had, by a codicil to his will, directed that neither the legacy nor the annuity should be assignable or liable to Ihe then or future debts the party might contract, or had contracted.— 111 1825, the testator ( who was an uncle of the insolvent) made his will, iu which he bequeathed to the insolvent a legacy of £ 5,000, and an annuity of £ 400. I11 1826, the insolvent took the benefit of the act, his debts then amounted to £ 14,000, and the testator in the following year made a codicil to his will, in which he revoked the annuity and the legacy left to the insolvent by his will, and appointed certain trustees authorising them to pay the annuity quarterly to the insolvent, and to invest the legacy for his sole benefit; and if he should either become bankrupt or insolvent, then they were to apply the said annuity for bis sole and separate use. The testator also left tbe insolvent's wife and his only son an annuity of £ 100. In 1828 the testator died, and the assignees then applied to the Court of Chancery for a portion of Ihe annuity to be applied to the payment of the insolvent's debts. The Lord Chan- cellor referred the matter to the commissioners of this court.— TheChiefConnnissioner, after referring to a number of eases which had been cited, said, that the court was clearly of opinion that tbe annuity passed to the creditors, under the 59th sectiou of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, there being no life- interest left to any other person in the event of the insolvent becoming a bankrupt or insolvent; and they therefore ordered £ 250 a- yeur out of tbe annuity to be paid to tbe assignees towards the liquidation of Ihe dctits, aud such order to commence immediately. ANOTHER EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION. The British Diorama and Royal Bazaar, Oxford- street, London, were 011 Wednesday evening reduced to a heap of ruins. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon the accident occurred, which in a very short time spread the greatest terror and con- sternation throughout the neighbourhood; and, owing to the confusion that reigned, a considerable time elapsed before means could be effectually adopted to prevent the flames from extending to the adjoining buildings. The building in question was one of very great extent, and of fashionable resort by the haut ton. Part of it consisted of a large picture gallery, in which a number of paintings, consisting of views of York Minster, Algiers, & c. were daily exhi- bited. In the front part of the building, which was only divided from the picture gallery by a very slight partition, were extensive rows or stands, where articles of almost every description were exposed for sale ; and which, at the time of the accident, were visited by a good deal of company. The Diorama was also well attended by visitors, as were the other public rooms adjoining; and this evening several views had been exhibited. The grand finale was a view of York Minster when on fire! The exhibitor of the picture, to give it a greater effect, had a chemical preparation, which he set 011 fire behind the scene, for the purpose of giving a crimson appearance to the flames. Unfortunately, a current, of air carried the burning liquid to a chimney, and that and some slight wooden material instantly caught fire. A loose scene was next ignited ; and, before there was time or opportunity for procuring water, owing to the inflam- mable nature of the materials lying in every direction, the flames extended to such a degree, that not only the audience, ( who at first could not account for the singular appearance of the scene,) but the persons belonging to the establishment, were obliged to re- treat from the building, or they would have inevitably perished. To attempt lo depict the scene that pre- sented itself at the moment w hen all the scenery and pictures had caught fire would be in vain. The keepers of the stands vainly endeavoured to carry off their property ; some rushed out of tbe building witli what they could snatch up in haste; others w aited to get more, but they were at last compelled to retreat by the denseness of tbe smoke, and the spread of the flames. An engine arrived in about a quarter of an hour after the accident, and officers from Marlborough- street, Bow- street, and a party of the day patrol u ere soon on the spot; but the crowd increased to such a degree that it was found necessary to send for the military, and a party of the Foot Guards very soon arrived on the spot, and rendered the most efficient assistance. W'hcn the first two engines arrived, it was found impossible to introduce the hose of the engines through the front of the building to the back part, where the scenery was burning, and the firemen got upon the roofs of the adjoining houses, and played upon the flames from thence with great effect; but the fire had attained such an ascendancy before they commenced, that the whole of the interior of the building fell a prey to the flames. The houses in Adam- and- Eve- court, at the back, were in great danger, and but for a good supply of water, directed with energy and skill by the firemen, they would have been destroyed; they escaped with very slight injury. It is almost impossible to form an accurate estimation of the value of the property destroyed. The building cost, it is understood, above £ 10,000; and it is said that the property therein, which is all reduced to rubbish, was of the value of £ 10,000 more. In the House of Commons, on Wednesday, on the motion of Colonel Davies, a select committee was appointed to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Nash, the architect, with respect to the granting of leases and the sale of crown lands in Suffolk- street, Pail- Mall East, in Regent- street, and adjoining the Regent's Canal. The Sale of Game Bill got through the Lords' Committee on Friday evening; but we do sincerely hope that on Thursday, when the report is to be received, it will be lost. One by one the privileges and establishments of the country are frittered away and lost, and all distinctions levelled. The sale of game will either increase the crime of^- poaching, or reduce every nobleman or gentleman- tb the situation of a poulterer. Partridges will be trapped— phea- sants suffocated— hares snared— on all hands the sport of shooting will be destroyed, and the little courtesies of society annihilated; for a present of game, which a man can buy at his poulterer's, will, instead of a compliment, be as great an insult as sending him two pounds of mutton chops, or a quartern loaf.— John Bull. It appears from a parliamentary paper just pub- lished, that the number of prisoners committed to the different gaols in Ireland for trial, in the seven years from 1822 to 1828 inclusive, was 112,838, of whom 332 were executed. miscellaneous Jfntelltofncr. The Russian scientific expedition, which has been engaged in exploring Siberia, is said to have discovered the magnetic pole. THE WOOL TRADE.— A petition was presented to the House of Commons a few days since from Launceston and its neighbourhood, praying that, an additional duty might be laid 011 the import of foreign wool. On the same day, the Duke of Richmond stated, in his place in the House of Lords, that he actually derived more profit from his flocks in France than he did from those which he possessed in Eng- land. That is— after paying for the cost of growth, shipping, import duty, & c. he could undersell the English wool- grower in his own markets, and, after all, clear more profit than if he ( the noble duke) had grown his wool in this country- This is by far the best practical comment that we have seen for some time on the principle of free trade, as far as it concerns the wool- grower; and we hope most sincerely that the lesson was not thrown away upon ministers. One thing we are tolerably certain of, and that is, if some- thing be not speedily done for the relief and protection of the British wool- grower, he may as well abandon the trade entirely. We know instances in Devon and Cornwall of farmers having as much as two and three years' growth of wool by them, for which, owing to the new regulations with regard to this article, they are unable to procure prices at all remunerating, while the foreigner is carrying all before him. Is this felo de se system to continue for ever? Is the British farmer always lo supplicate unheard that the government will not take the bread out of his mouth for the purpose of nourishing foreigners who contri- bute nothing to the resturces by which are upheld tlie honour and dignity of the land ?— Western Luminary. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY'.— The Roman Catholic Clergy are governed in England by four superiors, called Vicars- Apostolic, who severally preside over the London, Western, Midland, and Northern districts; and in Scotland by three Bishops, who preside over the Eastern and North orii districts. The Bishops are deputed by the Pope, and exercise vicarial powers, revocable at pleasure. They are, indeed, Bishops iu the Roman Catholic Church, but do not enjoy episcopal au- thority in Britain; their sees are little more than nominal, or 44 in partibus," as it is termed— as Dr. Brampston, Bishop of Ursula ; Dr. Smith, Bishop of Boliua, & c. Each Priest has likewise a separate district; not, however, any particular parish, but a 44 mission," as he is called a 44 missionary." He acts by virtue of a faculty granted by the Apostolic Vicar of the district, and is removable at pleasure, Iu Ireland, on the contrary, no Bishop is removable at the mere will of the Pope, nor is any parish Priest removable al Ihe mere will of his Bishop To etfect such a removal there must exist a canoui cal cause, an accuser, regular trial, sentence, aud ratification. In Ireland, there are 32 Roman Ca- tholic Archbishops and Bishops, 52 Deuns and Archdeacons, and 1500 parish Priests, and 3000 Curates. The benefices are 984 in number. Mrs. Beilby Thompson's Grand Ball, at the family mansion in Berkeley- square, last week, was given in compliment to the entree of the beautiful Miss Glynne, of Hawarden, who 44 came out," as it is termed, on that occasion, to grace the circle in fashionable life in which she is to move in future. Eight robms, besides the staircase, gallery, and cor- ridor, were lighted up in the most resplendent style; and the company presented a brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion. OATH OF SUPREMACY. The words of Mr. O'Connell are stated in some of the reports as follows:— 44 I see in this oath one assertion as to a matter of fact which I know is not true, and another assertion as to matter of opinion which I believe is not true." The assertion as to the matter of fact is, of course, the declaration that the Pope, among others, 44 hath not" any spiritual authority within this realm ; the other as to matter of opinion) the declaration that he 44 ought not to have" any such authority. MICHAEL THOMAS SADLER — It may perhaps be allowed us to think that there are circumstances which occur even in this world to prove an almost immediate interference of Providence in the affairs of man. We shall exemplify. A gentleman resided in Leeds, engaged in mercantile pursuits, whose name we have prefixed, and whose connexion with Ireland in the way of business, gave him an opportunity, enjoyed by few Englishmen, of arriving at a true and unprejudiced knowledge of the state of this country. That knowledge was not with him to be 44 hidden in a bushel," and the result of his experience was accordingly submitted to the public with the view solely of ameliorating the condition of this island, and dissipating many vulgar errors and prejudices which hung around that question. Mr. Sadler published, some time since, a work 011 tbe state and evils of Ireland, which those who read praised, and deservedly admired. But the provinciality of Mr. Sadler's local position, and other causes, conspired to make his book less known than it deserved. His boldest effort was to overthrow the inhuman system of the Mal- thusians; a system which, by its attempts to demon- strate the existence of such dreadful checks to over- population, as famine, war, and pestilence, held forth a premium for any Crime to thin the earth's inhabit- ants, almost up to murder— and this gigantic effort of Mr. Sadler has proved, as every vindication of God's ways to man must, eminently successful. But it wanted to be known. Circumstances connected with the late atrocious bill for destroying the Con- stitution, induced a Noble Duke to offer and give Mr. Sadler a seat in the legislative council of the nation. And thus has Providence placed him pre- cisely in that condition, whence the voice of the philanthropist may be best heard by the people, and that voice and the sentiments of benevolence and wisdom which it promulgates, cannot be lost on those who now shall hear it.— Star of Brunswick. It appears from a variety of observations made on the mean temperatures of various parts of the world, that the mean temperature of London is about 52, of Petersburgh 38, of Paris 52, Vienna 51, Bourdeanx 57, Pekin 55, Washington 56, Algiers 72, Grand Cairo 73. Last week, as a gentleman was angling for perch, with a small rod and line, near Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire, he hooked a pike, which, after an hour's hard struggle, he succeeded in landing. It measured three feet six inches long, 23 inches in circumference, and weighed upwards of 191bs. Chinese Theatre burnt with the Loss of Sixty I. ires.— The Canton Register of Dec. 13 states, that at the district of Shantak a religious drama was to be performed, iu honour of one of the idols of the land, and an immense crowd of women and children were assembled to be spectators. It is usual lo announce the play by beating a drum at three successive periods, and letting off rockets. The second drum and a large rocket proclaimed the near approach of the performance; but the rocket fell 011 the leaf- covered stand which contained the women and children, set it on fire, and burnt it to the ground, occasioning the melancholy death of upwards of sixty persons! THE WANDERING GENTLEMAN IN DISGUISE.— The gentleman who is perambulating England in the garb of a Scotch musician, playing the bag- pipes, for a wager, ( the particulars of which have appeared in several provincial papers,) was in this town 011 Monday last, and was followed during the whole of the day by a crowd of people. There is 110 doubt hut he is Capt. Barclay, of sporting cele- brity, and from his style of living at the inn, his superior address, and general deportment, we should infer that he was a man accustomed to g- ood society. During his stay in Cheltenham, several sovereigns and half sovereigns were given him; and notwithstanding he wore a large pair of green spectacles, a black cravat reaching lo his mouth, and a complete suil of44 hodden grey," some of our residents and visitors penetrated through the dis- guise, and accosted him as an old acquaintance. He did not beg, but accepted whatever money was uttered him. On some one presenting him with a penny, a poor bystander exclaimed— 44 that peuny would be more useful to me than to a- gentleinan." 44 You are right," said the minstrel, 44 Here take it, and something to boot." He left Cheltenham on Tuesday morning, after being eminently success- ful; and we understand his wager will not be finished till sometime in June.— Cheltenham Chron. BI. ACKFRIARS BRIDGE. Blackfriars Bridge, like St. Paul's Cathedral, is said to be iu a very dangerous state. It is strongly suspected that it will not admit of a thorough repair, but must be allowed to go to ruin, us the building of a new bridge will not be so expensive iu the main as repairing the old one. The piers are almost entire- ly decayed; they are rotten to the heart; and, since the two feet of ponderous matter were removed from the crown of tbe roadway, the best macadamized metal that can be laid on in its place is crushed to sand in a few days, and ruts made, whereby the w ater passes down through the arches : in some places large holes have been made, so that the river has been seen through them.— Court Journal. BLEEDING AT THE NOSE.— Dr. Hufelaud has lately published the following new mode of stopping the discharge of blood from the nose:— A young man, about nineteen years of age, lost, from con- tinued bleeding nt the nose, 111 two clays, so much blood as to occasion frequent fainting. The usual remedies, as the mineral acids, ic » to the nape of Ihe neck, & c. having failed to check it, the advice of Dr. Brimmer w as solicited, who, on finding lhat ihe common remedies had not succeeded, ordered gum- arabic powder to be blown up his nose, by- means of a quill, which immediately succeeded in stopping the discharge. ENGLISH POISON.— The Water Hemlock.— Ci- cula virosa : LTmbellifene.— This plant, commonly called the Long- leaved Water Hemlock, is said to be by far the most poisonous plant of Great Britain, but it is, fortunately, rather scarce. The root is perennial, the stein is very large, hollow, leafy, aud branched ; and the leaves are bilernale, and of a bright green colour; the flowers are in large many- rayed umbels, and are very small. Il is sup. posed by Haller and many others lo have yielded the celebrated Athenian poison.— Garden Magazine. METEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION.— Mr. Morin, a French meteorologist, makes, in a recent memoir, an attempt at meteorological predictions to tbe end of 1830, for the whole surface of the globe; of these the following may be taken as a specimen : — 44This year, ( the author wrote at the beginning of 1S28,) which presents itself as likely to be very humid, will probably have an autumn cold and rainy at the beginning, afterwards fine, and cold towards tbe end. I11 the year 1829, the spring may be rainy; but the summer and the commencement of the autumn will, generally speaking, be very fiue. The end of the year will be rather damp ; the wiuterof 1829- 30 will be very cold. The summer of 1830 will be a very dry one, with storms accompanied by hail, aud the middle of the autumn will be damp." INTEMPERANCE.— In 44 the land of steady habits," New York, a society exists, called the Temperance Society, from a report of which we find the following : — 44 Intemperance is filling our alms houses with paupers, our hospitals with patients, our asylums with madmen, our penitentiaries wilh criminals, and our streets with vagrants." A pretty consider- able number of Jonathans have struck on the ingenious expedient of putting an end to the practice, by pledging themselves to abstain from ardent liquors. That, will doubtless clear them of the charge, but how w ill it effect a reformation among others ? The vice of intemperate drinking among the Americans is not more conspicuous than eating ; they are Gastrono- mists, Epicures, and Gluttons almost to a man ; and consequently suffer more disease than any other nation on the earth. A philosopher and a wit being in a storm at sea; the former appeared under great apprehensions lest be should go to the bottom, upon which he was rallitd by the other in the following terms:— 44 Why fearest tholi, when, if we go to the bottomj you will be at home, for you have always been striving to dive there? But for my pari, I nut really to be pitied, as I have ever been content td skim thesurlace of things." PUBLIC OPINION.— The Spectator truly and eloquently observes— 44 Let a poor starving out- at- elbows rascal pick a gentleman's pocket of a half- worn eightcen- penny handkerchief, and the pump, or the treadmill, or the hulks— according to the mood of the mob and the magistrate— are all too little for him. If, aspiring to something higher, the thief should break a pane in the Earl of Wallow- in- wealth's pantry- window, insinuate himself through the aperture, and abstract from the shelf4 where they had been but an hour before carefully deposited by his Lordship's butler,' five silver tea- spoons, value £ 1. 3s. 4d. the whole world of London and of Bow- street will be in amaze at an atrocity for which nothing but a short shrift and a stout halter— Cotton and hemp— can possibly atone. But let the offender figure in a suit of the newest cut, with a gold watch and a diamond ring— let him inhabit a fine house, keep a carriage with a pair of greys, and give venison and claret to fiddlers, painters and small wits,— let hiin by virtue of these elegant exteriors, rob the aged of their savings, the young of their dower, pluck the shield from the widow and the stay from the orphan — cheat every friend that possesses the materials of being cheated- beggar five hundred families— and then withdraw to the land of liberty and equality beyond the Atlantic, instead of being pursued by the execrations, he shall be followed by tbe pity of the million, and a hundred good reasons invented for the palliation of his villainy." MIRACLES.— In the Lives and Miracles of their Saints, in which the Abyssinians implicitly believe, it is recorded that they have a saint who wrestled with the devil in the form of a serpent nine miles long, threw him from a mountain, and killed him. Another, who converted the devil, made him turn monk, and live a holy life for forty years after his conversion, as a penance for having tempted our Saviour forty days upon the mountain. Another who never ate or drank from the day of his birth, and made a pilgrim- age to Jerusalem every morning, where be said mass at tbe holy sepulchre, and returned home every night in the shape of a stork.— Another saint, being sick, was seized with a longing for partridges, and calling upon a brace to come to him, they flew upon his plate, ready roasted, and laid themselves down to be devoured. These wonders are circumstantially told and believed by unexceptionable persons, and were a grievous stumbling- block to the Jesuits, who could not establish the belief of their own miracles upon any clearer evidence. FIGS.— Figs have, from the earliest times, been reckoned among the delights of the palate. Saphan, the scribe, who made for the use of the young king Josiah that compendium of fhe law of Moses which is called Deuteronomy, enumerates among the praises of his country, that it was a land of figs.— The Athenians valued figs at least as highly as the Jews. Alexis called figs " a food for the gods." Pausanias says, lhat the Athenian Phytalus was rewarded by Ceres, for his hospitality with the gift of the first fig tree. Some foreign guest, no doubt, transmitted to him the plant, which he introduced into Attica. It succeeded so well there, that Uthanaeiis brings forward Lynceus and Antiphones, vaunting the figj of Attica as the best on earth. Horapollo, or rather his commentator Bolzani, says, that when the master of the house is going a journey, he hangs out a broom of fig boughs for good luck. Our forefathers prefer- red a broom of birch ; as if, in the master's absence, it was well to remember the rod.— A taste for figs marked the progress of refinement in the Roman empire. In Cato's time, but six sorts of figs were known : in Pliny's, twenty- nine. The sexual system of plants seems first to have been observed ill the fig tree whose artificial impregnation is taught by Pliny, under the name of capritication.— In modern times, the esteem for figs has been still more widely dif- fused.— When Charles the Fifth visited Holland, in 1540, a Dutch merchant sent him a plate of figs, as tbe greatest delicacy which Ziriksee could offer.— Mirror. TROUT.— A fish of this description was taken, a short time ago, in a leap ( or trap lo take fish in) at the flood- gates of a mill called the Forge. mill, near Coleshill, Warwickshire, ou the banks of the river Tame, it measured three feet seven inches and a half long, and weighed twenty- two pounds. It appeared in bad condition, and to have been a much heavier fish. O11 the extreme point of the lower jaw there was a large horny projection, about an inch and a half long ( exactly resembling the book of a lady's parasol), which shut into an aper- ture formed in the upper jaw to receive il; but, when closed by the hand as far as possible, there was a curve in the upper jaw, which caused a cavity iu the mouth of the fish sufficiently wide to admit a good sized gudgeon to pass through it. This, perhaps, may account for the sunken appear- ance of the fish, as it must have impeded ita feeding. — Sheffield Courant. MALT LIQUOR A PREVENTATIVE OF FEVER.— It is a curious fact, and one which is worthy of investigation by medical men, that persons who are ill the habit of drinking largely of malt liquors are rarely known to be seized with typhus, or other slow fevers, whatever other effects these liquors may have upon the constitution. I11 corroboration of this fact, we have been assured by those whose opportunities for observation have been extensive, that there is not an instance known of a brewer's servant being entered as a patient, under these diseases, in any of the public hospitals.— Tori Courant, EFFECTS OF COMPETITION IN TRADE.— There is too much competition in this country. Cheap shops ruin Ihe fair trader. Goods are bought at the sale of a bankrupt's stock, the bankruptcy having, perhaps, been fraudulent, or, at least, occasioned bv an improvidence differing from dishonesty rather in name than in nature. These goods, for which the manufacturer receives a few shillings, or more probably a few pence, in the pound from the bank- rupt's estate, are purchased at so low a rate that they can be retailed far below the cost price, and yet leave a large profit to the speculator ; and at that low rate he sells them, in order to tempt cus- tomers, and undersell the upright dealer who has paid Ihe just price for his wares. The saving which is thus atforded to the consumer is but a paltry advantage compared to the injury with which what was formerly the settled system of fair trade is hereby affected. In this process, w hich is continu- ally going on, the manufacturers are, in Ihe first instance, the injured party. Bul they also are chargeable with having interloped to Ihe detriineut of tbe shopkeeper. Lest their milts should stand still, and partly, it may be believed, from an unwil- lingness lo turn out of employment hands which can find no other employment ( for this redeeming motive acts to a considerable extent), they manufacture more than there is any demand for, or that can find vent thro' the usual channels : these surplus goods, for the sake of ready money, are hawked about the country by their agents, at low prices; the loWr price, which is all that can be looked for from persons who buy, not because they want the article, but because they are tempted by tbe undervalue at which it is ottered, leads in its consequence to a deterioration of the goods: they have been sold below their proper price, because too much had been manufactured, and then they must be deteri- orated in quality, because they are lo be sold cheap; and Ihe consumer finds at lust that helms purchased dearly. There is an evil in every step of this transaction, and Ihe worst is tbe great injury which is done lo the frugal fair- dealing shopkeeper. And now, too, tradesmen who carry 011 business in large towns upon a great scale, follow tbe example of the manufacturers, und employ travellers iu like manner to solicit orders from private families. 44 Live and let live," is 110 longer tbe maxim in this greedy nation. Under this system the little shop- keepers are disappearing, as the small farmers disappeared when the devouring principle of trade was applied lo agriculture upon the great scale;—• aud yet what class of persons can so ill be spared aa lhat wherein tbe habit of well- regulated and hope- ful frugality is most surely to be found ; that where there is comfort aud contentment enough to render persons happy in their station, nud yet a prospect withal of improving it for their own old age, and for their children after them ?
