Mon- day week, Ihe very healthy and populous village of Leigh- upon- Meiidip was visited by tbe most cala- mitous conflagration ever reoieuib red to have occurred in the neighbourhood. The fire com- menced at three o'clock iu Ihe afternoon, in a carpenter's shop, and so rapid was the progress of the flames, aided by a strong north- easterly wind, that in the short space of thr ' e hours Indwelling houses, with workshops, stables, & c. together with the greatest part of the furniture, beds, weiring- apparel, working tools, & c.& e. ofihesutiVi ers b iug utterly destroyed, all but one family being verv poor people ; thus leaving 15 families, of 54 souls in number, without hOus; 1 Oi' homo, and exposed to the greatest distress!— The value oi the property destroyed is estimated at £ 1300. rap HE more usual Symptoms of Worms ft are FITS, PAI.

The extra- ordinary efficacy of CIIING's PATENT WORM LOZENGE* in all such complaints, as well as Ob- structions in the bowels, nnd every disorder where opening or cleansing physic is required, is so uni- versally known, and has been publicly acknowledged by so many persons of distinction aud rank in society, thiii it is unnecessary here to enlarge on their peculiar virtues.

This gentleman has resigned the representation of the County, into which he was thrust as the creature of the Priests and Agitators. He states, as his object in tiiis step, that he could not, in the present " legen- erated system of Election," ( we thank him for the word,) offer himself as a Candidate again to their notice; conceiving himself to have been " the repre- sentative of that constituency, now no more, by which he was so independently returned." If Mr. Stiiart would have the public believe by this that he ever was the real representative of the freeholders, of any class or grade, in the County Of Wdtcrford, we Can assure him he is grievously mistaken. Those v ho elected him, by means useless now to character- ize, were the demagogues of the County, aided by the Popish Clergy ; and the very men who did vote for him were, in so doing, just as much free agents, as the representative himself in his capacity of Mem- ber of Iarliatnent. If either had dared to gainsay, or even offctid their master the Priest, each would have equally liecome the object of his denunciations and vengeance. The freeholders, we see, are called on by the friends of Lord George Bcresford, who is al present in London on a visit with his brother, the Lord Primate, but who may be immediately expcctcd in Ireland, to hold themselves disengaged from all promises Of his Lordship's return under the " re- generated system of Election," there cannot be the least possible doubt, COUNTY OF GLARE. The plot begins to thicken ; but we are every day fhe more and more strengthened in tire opinion we expressed on Jatu day last, that Mr. O'Gonnell has no chance in Cib. e. Our cotcmporary, the Evening I'ost, appears to consider it a grievance, ( hat a Treasurer of a Brunswick Club should have taken any part in protecting the rights of one claimant, or in exposing the fraud intended to be practised by another; while at the same moment Mr. O'Gorinan Was openly acting as the Counsel for the Roman Catholic Association, which has its Agents in Court; and its emissaries throughout tire country; but it is « ver Ihiis. The Popish party in Ireland have so long acted upon fhe maxim of " giving no right and faking no wrong, 1'' that we are not surprised at the Evening Post imagining, or affecting to imagine, that the legitimate and the very proper interference of a Member of a Brunswick Club was a grievance. At no period within the last five years was the language of Papists, and their organs, more furious, more inveterate, or more anti- Protestant than at the present moment. The Register of yesterday declares in express terms, and just in so many words, that if the Cabinet consent that one of its body— namely, Mr. Vescy Fitzgerald^— should stand for Clare, they must rend ten thousand buym. ets at the least for his pro- tection ! ' jmpmal parliament. MR. O'CONNELL IN CLARE. This public character arrived iu Limerick al two o'clock on Monday morning. At that early hour he Was recognized by some midnight stragglers, who, finder the influence of the spirit, hailea his entre with loud shouts of joy, and pursued his carriage through the streets, screeching with exultation. After day- light the popular excitation grew stronger, nu- merous trees were cut down, and planted in various parts of the city, and printed placards called on tbe people of Limerick to be at their post, to remember the days of Sarsfield, and to greet the man who had crushed the tyrants of their forefathers. Mr. O'Con- nell heard Mass at St. Michael's Chapel, and then held a levee at his hotel, where be received an indis- criminate host of visitors, including Lieut- Colonel Jtunbury, commanding the 60th Rifles, stationed in this garrison, who tendered liis compliments, also his wishes of success, accompanied by an expression of concern that Mr. O'Connell could not afford him the pleasure of " a day," but hoping that on his return he should enjoy that happiness f A't two o'clock, Mr. O'Corincll presented himself to the assembled multitude. He glanced at tlie different position Ireland was placed in, compared with the state of debasement his countrymen were writhing under, when last he met them; next, he took a copious review of the evils still to be removed, and the good to he accomplished, promising them that, if the Freeholders of Clare were not cramped in the exercise of their rightsy before two years more he would have fill! and ample justice done to his coun- try. He alluded to the advantages this country would derive from the restoration of her local Parlia- ment, the return of absentees, the expenditure of Ibeir income lit home, rendering their tenantry more comfortable, and giving employment to the people. As to hundreds of those who filled the seats of the Honourable House, they scarcely know or care any thing about us; they even do not understand our accent. He would not delay them longer— his friends in Clare were waiting for him. The cavalcade then proceeded for Ennis ; but the shopkeepers all through the line of route felt so alarmed at the violent agitation of the multitude, as to close up their Windows at once, and suspend business altogether. A group of country people fell into the cortege, on whose breasts were displayed green ribbons and medals of the Order of 1. itera- tors. Mr O'Connell himself, habited in a green sash of the same order, sat on the dicky, occasionally returning the uproarious gratulations of his numerous followers by uncovering his head and bowing. Im- mediately before him moved a heavy truckle, dragged by " three asses," supporting a tall tree, oil whose branches there lay an itinerant fiddler and piper, playing dulcet notes to the multitude ; and perched above all heads was a young aeronaut wielding a green flag. At Meelic the peasantry joined the pro- cession, and on gaining Cratloe a vast multitude assembled . here, and at Six- mile Bridge, and New- market, he addressed the country people. At the 1 itter place he said—" I understand that the agent of Sir Edward O'Brien is opposing the freeholders; Sir Edward has two sons in Parliament, one for the comity and the other for the Ifljrough of Ennis. I will state a fact; he said he would stand by me to assert my right as your representative in Parliament; this lie fold my agent. He never fulfilled this pro- mise. If 1 can foretel, ( and 1 am sometimes prophe- tic,) Sir Edward's son shall walk out of the county, and when I get into Parliament, monopoly, and the corruption of the Borough which his other son repre- sents, shall be dragged before the country." Tuesday morning, at one o'clock, the Candidate for Clare made his public entry into Ennis. The bouses were illuminated and covered with evergreen. His carriage could scarcely pass. Here he addressed the mob : - " I have addressed my fellow- countrymen live times yesterday, and this is the fourth time this day that 1 have also addressed them. I am, there- fore, a little exhaustedbut iu mind— in an unceasing endeavour to serve our common counlry— my spirit shall lie ever inexhaustible. I am as fresh and vigorous this moment as if 1 only began. Yesterday, at Maryborough, I addressed assembled millions of our countrvijH'u upon the subject of a gross, palpable, and paltry injustice, which was done to tlicm, and you, and me, by WELLINGTON and PEEL, after 1 HAD tORCl'D UPON THEM EMANCIPATION1.!!! They have tenfold excited your sympathy in my regard by THE BASENESS OF THEIR CONDUCT TOWARDS YOU, and surely you will not give them an opportunity of repeating this conduct towards you." ( Nr, no, we will return you.) The forty- shilling elective franchise was taken from them, and tho ten- pound substituted in its stead. They would give him an opportunity of having that franchise— that right— restored. He would call on the Gentry of Clare to separate themselves from the disgraceful Lublin bloodhounds, and join what was intended for the good of the people. What good did any Member ever before in Parliament do for the County of Clare, except to get places for their cousins and nephews, & c. ? He procured for them Emancipation. After rec< 4nmending the thousands who wedged bis car- riage fo form themselves into police, as they did last year, and to keep the peace, he went into the inn, where about sixty gentlemen were in attendance to receive him to dinner. The Society of Arts and Commerce have voted to Mr. Edward Cary, late of the port of Bristol, now of the R. N. tlicir large Gold Medal, for bis valuable and most important, communication of a method w iich will prevent all kinds of decay in ship timber, ctuse a ship to run a vast number of years, with litt'e or no repair, and is applicable to any kind of timber. With this remedy New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island- built ships will last as long as any other country- built ships. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. STATE OF THE. MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. Mr. SADI'*. K presented a petition from Blackburn, Lancashire, signed by about twelve thousand persons, complaining of distress and praying relief. The peti- tioners, said tbe Hon. Member, earnestly besought their representatives to consider the present alarming condition of tbe country. And it appeared to him not only the imperative duty, but that it ought to be the anxious wish of parliament to do so, and that without delay. It would be a waste of time to attempt to deny what any individual in the country conversant with the present state of" things must know to be the case, that the country was labouring under great and general distress. Every branch of national industry seems paralyzed, not merely the commercial, but, as the petitioners asserted, all other interests were affected. Agriculture was evidently languishing. Thousands of persons had already lost their capital, and were daily sinking into poverty. Tens of thousands, he might say hundreds of thousands of labourers, were completely pauperised, and sunk into the lowest depths of misery and degradation. Poverty, crime, and ruin were spreading with alarming rapidity. The very foundations of national prosperity seemed shaken. Was it not, he asked, the duty of the house to inquire into this strange, and distressing state of things ? ltappearcd lohini that such an investigation might have been gone into, had lime and opportunity been afforded, with every hope of arriving at safe and beneficial conclusions. It was bis ( Mr. Sadler's) opinion, and one not taken up without some examination, not recently adored, that this state of things was resolvable into an erroneous and pernicious policy ; and while he agreed with the petitioners that the causes of the national difficulties and distresses were numerous and complicated, he fully concurred with them also in believing that their alleviation or removal lay within the reach of legislative controul. He could not, therefore, but express his deep regret that parliament should separate without seriously attending to the present condition of the country, which would alone have been an abundantly sufficient reason for its re- assem- bling had it not been actually sitting. Col. SIBTHORPE could not but state his concur- rence in the regret which the Hon. Member for Newark had expressed at the proposed adjournment of the house at a period when such great and general distress prevailed throughout the whole of the country. He thought that no adjournment should lake place until those distresses and their causes had been fully and intimately inquired into, in order that no time might be lost in adopting such measures as might afford relief. Mr. BAIIING observed, that so far as lie was capable of judging there had never been any disposi- tion on the part of government, during the present session, to drive off any discussion which might be brought forward respecting the condition of the people. It was invidious to say that the distresses of the country were not considered. The Hon. Mem- ber for Newark had stated his opinion that those distresses were capable of parliamentary relief. If that were his opinion, why did he not point out in what manner he thought that relief could be afforded ? Since he had not done so— since he had brought forward no measure to afford relief, although he possessed the knowledge which would have enabled him to do « o— the fault was his, and not that of bis Majesty's Ministers. Mr. HUME entirely agreed with the Hon. Gent, who had presented tbe petition. He thought the petitioners and tbe country at large had a right to complain of Ministers and of the house for refusing to take into consideration the different measures which had been submitted to them, and which had been brought forward by different individuals, with the view of affording relief to those classes of the com- munity whose distresses were so well known. He had himself presented many petitions and submitted several propositions to the house for the purpose of calling its attention to the subject; but all his en- deavours to obtain relief for the distressed had proved unavailing. Mr. Wi STERN thought it was incumbent upon the house to make some inquiry into the distresses of the country before the termination of the session. Mr. ROBINSON was decidedly of opinion that, some immediate measure should be taken to aft'ord relief, since it was evident that the distress of the country was increasing rather than diminishing. Sir R. VIVYAN said he had sometime since given notice that he should bring forward a motion relative to the distresses of the country, and a day had actually been appointed when the motion was to have been submitted to the attention of the house; but, from unavoidable circumstances, it was postponed. When he gave that notice he did not give notice of it as of a currency question, although he certainly believed that the present state of the currency had, in a great measure, if not entirely, given rise to the distress which prevailed. He believed that the withdrawal of the one- pound bank- note system had at least given rise to much of it. The session was now near to its close, but if it were prolonged for another month be would give notice for a similar motion to that which he made before. He should then prove that there were causes existing by which the present distress was occasioned ; and although he would not pledge himself to point out any remedy which should afford immediate relief, be did think that the dis- closures Which it would be in his power to make would ultimately lead to the discovery of one. Mr. Secretary PEEL expressed his regret, that the Hon. Baronet had not had an opportunity of making his motion; and he believed that the failure in making a house on that day was entirely accidental. It had certainly been out of the Hon. Baronet's power to submit his motion to the house on any sub- sequent day. Those persons must not be supposed to be indifferent to the distress of the country who were adverse to the policy of entering upon Ihe inquiry recommended by the other side of the house. They felt that unless they could be pretty confident that such inquiry would be productive of a satis- factory result, it might aggravate Ihe evil which it was intended to diminish. The Hon. Member for Aberdeen had declared that there were at least two subjects which ought to be fully investigated before the separation of parliament— namely, the corn laws, and the question of emigration. Now, really, if there were any tw o topics w hich, during the last four years, had occupied the attention of parliament more than any others, they were precisely those which the Hon. Member for Aberdeen had described as demanding inquiry. The Hon. Member's proposition was to substitute a fixed duty on foreign corn for the present scale of duties; but the house did not agree with hiin on the subject. What advantage could accrue to the country if, on every question, such as that of tbe corn laws, the legislation was never allowed lo be settled even for a single year? Having made an experiment respecting it last year, was it desirable for the house lo pledge itself to enter into an inquiry ou the subject next year ? If, w henever distress existed in any particular place distress attributed to machinery, or the importation of foreign wool, or the system of corn laws— an inquiry were immediately demanded, there would be an end to all confidence, and no one would venture to embark his capital in any commercial enterprise. With respect to the existing distress, he must say that he did not take so gloomy a view of the subject as some gentlemen seemed disposed to take. He could not allow that the capital of the country was daily diminishing. Still less could he allow that commerce was carrying on by the application of capital from which the capitalist received no return. In the year 1815, a period when the currency of the country was in- creased by a paper circulation, tbe rental of the county of Lancaster was valued, for the purpose of determining the contributions to the county rate. That valuation was, he believed, perfectly fair; though by some persons it was considered liot so, and another valuation had taken place last year. The valuation of the rental on land and on the manufacturing establishments of Lancashire, in 1815, amounted to three millions. Last, year the valuation — although the improvement in the currency would have a tendency to reduce the nominal amount — was four millions. That fact he opposed to the statement that the manufactures anil the agriculture of the country were carrying on at a positive loss. He repealed however, that he did not deny the existence of dis- tress— distress occasioned by the unequal distribution of wealth, by the improvements in machinery, by tbe progress in mechanical skill, and by many other and complicated causes; but he was persuaded that any attempt to legislate with respect to them would only have the effcct of aggravating the evil. Mr. ATTWOOD reminded the Bight Hon. Gent, that ill 1824 and 1825, when machinery was as productive as at present no general distress existed ; while tbe present state of all branches of industry was such that it was impossible they could be long sustained. Capital, whatever might be its amount, was in a great measure unproductive, and this cir- cumstance, couplcd with the millions of labourers and mechanics now out of employment, produced that state of distress which was the subject of general complaint. It was a reproach to the house not to have long before entered into a full . investigation of the situation of the country, in place of devoting their time to party discussions. The people would naturally be led to conclude that they were incompe- tent to the purposes of legislation. He did not blainc the petitioners for not having suggested any measure of relief. A similar petition was presented some time back, in which means were pointed out of applying a remedy to the evil, but nothing was done in conse- quence. Mr. HI SKISSON said the Hon. Member for Corn- wall had alluded to the distresses, which had arisen from the commercial speculations, at the end of the year 1825. He ( Mr. Httskisson) had, in the year 1825, more than once raised his voice in that house, to warn the country of the danger with which those speculations were fraught. The country was now suffering the re- action of the fictitious credit which at that period was so easily obtained. He could not however agree with that Hon. Member that the state of our foreign trade was no criterion of the grow th of our industry. It was too much, when it was proved that there was no diminution in our foreign trade or navigation, to turn short and deny the importance of the fact, and allege that our ships were sent to sea merely because they would rot if they were not kept afloat. He would tell him, however, that there was Evidently a great increase even in that part of our trade which the Hon. Baronet seemed alone to value — the home trade. There was undoubtedly a great improvement in agriculture, both in this country and in Ireland. Yet we continued to import corn. What could that arise from but an increase of consumption > and that increased consumption could proeeed only from ait increase in the home demand of our manu- factures. The Hon. Baronet asserted that our merchants sent their ships to sea because they thought it better that they should be afloat than rotting in harbour. But it was unfortunate for the Hon. Baronet's argument that more new ships were building than ever. In his opinion it was not in the power of an honest legislature to apply a remedy to Ihe existing evil ; and the remedies which he had heard mentioned were calculated to aggravate that evil, and ultimately to involve the Country in a convulsion of property, and even, perhaps, in a convulsion of her institutions. Mr. MAXWELL regretted that so much inattention was show n within that house lo the working classes. It was most cruel to call upon tlicjn to pay high prices for the necessaries of life, at the same time that they were so highly taxed. They ought to tax pro- perty more highly, and the labouring classcs less. Sir G. PHILLIPS was of opinion that in a country like this it was impossible to prevent flucti » tio) i in commerce. It must be prosperous at one time . and depressed at another. There was nothing'the people of Lancashire would deprecate more than n return to a paper currency. He contended that alt improve- ment in machinery was attended with a great increase of population. He felt convinced that the resources of the country were quite sufficient to carry it through every difficulty The removal of the F. ast India monopoly could not fail greatly to extend the cotton manufactories of this country. General GASCOYNE said, the House should have inquired into the causes of the distress at an earlier period of the session. He had heard no cause assigned for it but over- production. If the distress continued, he trusted that parliament would meet in November to take it into consideration. He feared the causes of it were permanent. Mr. 1). W. HARVEY said that a substantial dimi- nution of taxes, or a mutation of them, was the best course that could be pursued. Tbe currency must either lie augmented or taxation reduced, to meet the difficulties of the country. Mr. MABERLY expressed himself of the same opinion, and thought that had the Finance Committee been continued, it would have effected a reduction of taxation. / Mr. SADLER having replied, the petition was ordered to lie on the tahle.

Several Performers of the greatest celebrity, both vocal and instrumental, will come from the Continent, and the Orchestra will be tilled with the finest talent this country produces. The Funeral of the late amiable and accomplished Lady Eleanor Charlotte Butler, took place on Wed- nesday, at Llangollen. She was daughter of the sixteenth and sister to the seventeenth Earl of Or- monde and Ossory, and aunt to the late and present Marquis of Ormonde. For the last fifty years, Lady Eleanor Butler was the faithful and affectionate com- panion of Miss Ponsonby, at their beautiful retreat at Llangollen. It is impossible almost to describe the feelings of the inhabitants upon this melancholy occa- sion ; all the shops were closed, business at a stand, and scarcely a dry eye to be seen. All who could afford it were attired in deep mourning, and the poorer classes, to whom she was a most liberal benefactress, bewailed the loss of her w hose remains were in a few hours to be conveyed to that " bourne from whence no traveller returns." The procession at the funeral comprised— Four Clergymen, viz.: The Rev. R. W Eyton, the Rev. G. Cunliffe, the Rev. Rowland Wingfield, mid the Rev. W. Newcoiube. Two Physicians— Doctors Parker and Price. Two Surgeons — Messrs Griffiths and Davenport. The remains of the Deceased followed, upon a Bier supported by 12 bearers.

Levies are making in every part of the eni]( irc; and all accounts agree that the Turkish forces are in the best condition, and full of the greatest enthusiasm. Very different accounts reach us of the state and feelings of the Russian army. The blockade along the Turkish coast, with the exception of the Gulf of Saros, has been abandoned by the Court of St. Peters- burgh, which, it is said, has yielded to the remon- strances of the English government. By the Alecto, Captain Ayshford, which arrived on Sunday last at Liverpool from Jamaica, whence she sailed on the 21st of April, advices have been re- ceived from Colombia to the 10th of that month. They bring the important and gratifying intelligence of peace having been concluded between the repub- lics of Colombia and Peru. It appears that, on the 20th of February, a decisive battle was fought at Tarqui, between the Colombians, 4000 strong, under the command of General Sucre, and the Peruvians, 8000 strong, under the command of General La Mar. The conflict terminated in the complete defeat of the Peruvians, whose loss in killed and wounded was considerable. Colonel O'Leary, who had behaved gallantly in the action, was made a Held Marshal on the spot. The defeat of the Pcruviuh army induced their leaders to sue for peace, the preliminaries of which were signed, on the day after the battle, by Generals Flores and O'Leary, 011 the part of Colom- bia, and by Generals Gamarra and Orbegos on the part of Peru. The ratification of the treaty took place on the 1st of March, by Sucre and La Mar; and on the 12th, the Liberator, Bolivar, wrote from his head- quarters, at Cumbal, confirming the act of Sucre. The Earl of Dalhousie, and Governor Sir Isaac Douglas, who has recently returned from the govern- ment of New Brunswick, transacted business with Sir George Murray this morning at the Colonial Office. His Lordship will shortly embark to take the com- mand of the army in India, in the room of Lord Combe rnicre. In consequence of the death of Dr. Lloyd, Bishop of Oxford, noticed in a former Journal, the Rev. Edward Burton, ft. D. late Student of Christ Church, and who was Examining Chaplain to the deceased Bishop, has succeeded to the Divinity Professorship in the University of Oxford, to which is annexed a Canonry of Christ Church, and the Rectory of Ewelme, in Oxfordshire.

PUBLIC FOOTWAY.— The Court Leet for this Town and Liberties was yesterday further adjourned to the first Tuesday in August; and we have pleasure in informing the public that, in addition to the re- establishment of a commodious footway from the northern side of the English Bridge to the path leading towards the Castle, it is in contemplation to make arrangements for the removal of that long- existing nuisance, the mud- hole on the southern side of the Bridge. FECUNDITY.— No less than sixty distinct and complete stalks, with perfectly formed ears, were growing from a single grain of wheat, in a garden, in this town, last week: the seed is supposed to have been accidentally deposited there by one of the feathered tribe. A meeting of the Common Council of Bishop's Castle will take place this week, to consider of the best means of supplying that town with spring water We have been requested to caution persons receiv- ing enlisting money, and who afterwards dissent to such enlisting, that in order to be discharged front such enlistment, the person enlisted should go with the party before a Magistrate, and in his presence declare his dissent to the enlistment, and return the enlisting money with the smart money. The soldier enlisting is not authorised to receive money to free a person from enlistment; therefore payment to him, except in the presence of a Magistrate, will not dis- charge a person from the consequences of enlistment. In the night of Wednesday, the 3d instant, Mr. Owen, gamekeeper to the Rev. Dr. Oakclcy, and residing at the Lee, near Bishop's Castle, was awakened by the cries of a child ; the sound came from near the house ; and 011 getling up, lie found an infant, apparently about a week old, in a wheel- barrow, in the pigsty; it was wrapped in new flannel, a bundle of linen was by its side, and round its neck was a black ribbon, to which was attached a piece of thin muslin, which contained some pounded white sugar: there were footsteps of two persons near the spot.— The infant was transferred to the care of the parish officers. We are requested to draw public attention to the reprehensible practice ( seldom, we hope, persisted in,) of persons who let horses to hire keeping vicious animals for that, purpose.— In a recent case, a life was lost by the vicious habits of an animal of this class, which the Coroner's Jury said ought never again to be put in harness; yet, we are informed, from undoubted authority, that the same horse was again let to hire by the same party, and that the animal on the latter occasion kickcd a gig to pieces, and two individuals then riding therein narrowly escaped losing their lives. ROBBERIES.— In tbe night of Saturday or Sunday last, the office situate in the timber- yard of Messrs. J. Smith and Son, of this town, was broken open, by some villains at present unknown: they were, how- ever, disappointed of a booty, Messrs Smith, very wisely, keeping their cash elsewhere: so that the robbers only obtained from 3s. to 4s. in copper, a new hand saw, and a few trifling articles of little value.— O11 the Wednesday night preceding, the same or some equally villainous parties broke into the ware- house and counting- house of Mr Thomas Mottram, jnn. of this town: but here also they were defeated in the object of their cntcrprize, as Mr. M. had very properly left nothing there that was worth the trouble of effecting such an entrance to obtain.— We hope shortly to hear of the rascals being in custody. Committed to our County Gaol, Jonathan Tommy and Thomas Plimmer, charged with breaking antl entering the dwelling- house of Mrs. Jane Denston, and stealing various articles of wearing apparel, and divers other articles, the property of the said Mrs. Jane Denston ; James Edwards, charged with steal- ing two sovereigns, the property of Edward Davies, of the parish of St. Chad, innkeeper; IVilliam Sims, charged with having stolen one cow- hide of leather, the property of James Bradley, of Hales Owen. 1 he legacy duty paid for the vear ending January 5, 1829, was £ 1,170,294. 8s. 9d". The celebrated chesnut tree, the property of Lord Dacre, at, Tamworth. Gloucestershire, is the oldest, if not the largest, tree in England, having this year attained the age of 1,029 years, and being fifty- two feet- round ; and yet such vigour remains iu it that it bore nuts two years ago from which young trees are now being raised. The Rev. Lewis Hughes, Clerk, has been collated ( by a commission from the Lord Bishop of Bangor, directed to the Rev. James Henry Cotton, Clerk,) to the rectory of Trefriw and Llanrhochwyn, vacant by the death of the late Rev. John Titley, Clerk, the last incumbent thereof. The hay- ha'rvest has commenced in the Princi- pality, but from the long- continued drought, the crops are unusually thin, with the exception of over flooded meadows. The want of rain is daily becom- ing more serious. With regard to the corn crops, we are informed that the Wheats are generally looking well, and promising fair.

A number of the friends of the Earl of Eldon, desirous of manifesting their sense of his eminent services throughout a long and laborious public life, have entered into a subscription for carrying that purpose into effect. It is understood, that in case the nbscription should be sufficiently large for the pur- pose, it is contemplated to appropriate it to the en- dowment of some scholarship or literary foundation, us a more certain means, than the erection of a statue, of transmitting the memory of the services of the Noble Earl to posterity. A splendid list of names are already enrolled among the supporters of this project.— The Earl of Powis has subscribed £ 20 ; Sir R. VV. Vaughan, Bart. £ 20; Sir J. Chetwode, Bart. £ 20.— The subscriptions are limited to £ 20. On Thursday the House of Lords heard furlher evidence in support of the Leigh Peerage, at the close of which the Earl of Shaftesbury, the chairman, put the question to the house ; when their Lordships • decided that the claimant had entirely failed in making out his case.— The claim of Colonel Berkeley to the Barony of Berkeley was then called on, but eventually postponed until next session. During the gale on Thursday last, a vessel was driven on the beach at Lydd ; no boats could get off to the assistance of the crew, who were, however, all saved and brought ashore, through the activity of a fine Newfoundland dog. The surf was rolling furiously, and eight poor fellows were crying for aid, which the spectators could not afford Ihein, w hen one man directed the attention of bis dog to the vessel, and the intelligent animal at once swain towards it, and the crew joyfully made fast a rope to a piece of wood, which the dog seized and swain with it to bis master on shore ;— a line of communication was thus formed, and the eight mariners rescued from a wat- ry grave.— Sussex Advertiser. In the Court of Common Pleas on Saturday, Mr. Charles Kemble, as proprietor of Covent Garden Theatre, obtained a verdict against Mr. VV. Farren for a breach of an agreement, with £ 750 damages. The defence attempted to be set up was that the agreement was annulled by the management of the theatre having been changed. FOOI.- HARDY EXPLOIT. A young man, at Moulton Seals End, Lincolnshire, lately scaled the steeple of the parish church, which is not less than one hundred and ten feet high, hy means of the small projections of stone attached to the exterior of the spire. Not, content with having succeeded in gaining the stone which caps the summit he aspired to sub- stitute his cloth apron for the vane! Whilst climb- ing up the staff, at the extremity of which the vane is fixed, it broke with his weight. His destruction appeared inevitable ; but fortunately his body caught the stump of the staff, ami he was thus arrested in his descent, and shortly after descended to tlie ground in safety by the adventurous route whieh he traced in his ascent.

All the counties of Ireland are now engaged in the registry of freeholds, and were a judgment formed from what may be observed in this our southern district, we should calculate with every degree of confidence, that not even one- third ( and we concede a liberal moiety) of those who served notice of registry, will succeed in their view of becoming freeholders. We count on the data already exhibited in the counties of Limerick, Clare, and Cork,— no mean criterion either; where the 40s. freehold interest has been so eminently powerful. It may be fairly pre- sumed that henceforward the £ 50 and £ 20 electors will be fully equivalent to meet the £ 10 freeholders in the political arena, conflicting parties will be more nearly balanced, and rank, property, and intelligence, will have a proportionately just influence in the struggle of contested elections.— I . inter if h Chronule. In the Court of Exchequer, Dublin, on Saturday last, a case of considerable interest came on for hear- ing. The plaintiff was the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Father in God Lord George Da La Poer Bi res- ford, Bishop of Kilmore, and the defendant the Right Hon. William Conyngham PlUnket, Lord Baron Plunkct, Chief Justice of the Court of Com- mon Pleas in Ireland. It was an action of assumpsit for £ 200, the value of a pair of coach horses sold by the Right Rev. plaintiff to the most learned defend- ant, and hy the latter returned as unsound. The question was warranty or 110 warranty. The jury found for the plaintiff. Thomas Birmingham, charged with the murder of Sarah Waite, at Kensington, was tried at the Old Bailey on Thursday, before Judges Littledale and Hullock, and the evidence being insufficient to warrant a conviction of the prisoner, he was found " not guilty." GRAND ROWING MATCH. On Wednesday last, the grand rowing match between the young gentlemen, of Ovford and of Cambridge, in eight- oared boats, ami whose crews were picked men, took pkvcv on one of the tVncst an 1 most beautiful parts of the river Thames, called the Reach, near Henley. This contest had lor some- time past been the subject of conversation every where in the neighbourhood of Oxford, Cambridge, and Henley, and had excited also a great interest in thousands of those who never let slip an opportunity offered of witnessing a trial of skill and manly powers, in whatever shape the scene may present itself: indeed, almost all were on the alert, as the custom is in preparations for some of 001- great races. All the houses along the road were pre- engaged ; all the beds and lodgings taken in and near the town ; so that many found it almost impossible to get along their little journey ; and, when arrived at the town itself, from the great influx of the eager visitors, to gain either bed or board, for love or for money. The roads were lined almost every hour in the day with vehicles of all descriptions; and some of tbe coaches hired for the occasion were " tooled along" by the private hands of amateurs, and which were loaded to such an excess, that it was a terror to see them at the rattling pace they were going ; hut, like as tbe bold tars cry out " Death or glory," in the greatest danger, so tin' idea of broken heads and limbs never once seemed to cross their thought, intent alone on reaching tbe expected spot, and of enjoying what was in truth a most beautiful spectacle. Perhaps a finer picture of an assembled multitude has been rarely seen, than was presented on those beautiful and picturesque banks; while tlw stream was crowded with boats of all kinds, filled with rank, fashion, and beauty; and every face lighted up with pleasing smiles, and busy and anxious expectation of the treat they were about to enjoy.— The Oxford crew appeared in their blue check dress; the Cambridge in white, with pink silk waistbands. The boats of both parties were very handsome, ami wrought in a superior style of workmanship ; and in their preparation to row down to ( he starting- place the men were hailed with loud ace'aniatinn-. This post was marked lather more than two miles below the bridge, near a little is'and, and afler the agreement was made as to which s dc of the island the boats should row in Ih • passage ( the choice of which fell to the lot of the Cambridge crew); the race begun. The crew of bolh pulled gallantly, and with clever and equal stroke. There was no great distance between tlieni till | » ss! ng on each side of the island, when the Oxford crew made ahold and hearty struggle, and on reaching the main opening of the stream shot a head some distance; and then began the race in reality. Each of Ihe boats' crew put out. fhe strength of their arms in excellent style, and wilh the utmost regularity ami precision ; but it was seen the Oxford; crewr were the more powerful, nnd we're gaining tiie victory, for the opposing crew, though winning a few strokes 0111 hem, were unable ta make that head which showed a probability of success. In this way they rowed up to the bridge, amidst, the roars awl cheers of thmvaud* of voiees, and the contest ended in the victory ,> f the Oxford crevs by several boats' lengths. In the evening the concourse of people were delighted with a fine exhibition of the most beautiful fire w. u- ks we ever saw; the effect of the spreading colours was truly astonishing and wonderful; and they do great honour and credit, not only to those wliose liberality was so bountifully laid out for the amusement of the day, but to the genius mi l dexterity of the maker of them. It was expressed as a very unusual and gratifying treat by nil who were witnesses of the exhibition ; and wc believe there never was a more busy day in the town of Henley, or one filled with such amusements and attraction, especially from the more respectable part of the community. It was reported the match was for a very large- sum, but we have authority for stating it was by no means gambling match, but. in truth a trial of strength ami skill, in tbe arduous but healthy and UelighttiU amusement of the oar.

[ FROM THE MORNIN<; HERALD.] Our readers will have perceived from the reports of the proceedings in the House of Lords, Inst night, that the " Human Body- selling Bill" was negatived without a division Wc need scarcely say that we arc rejoiced at this result— a result which has con- fern d infinite honour upon the upper house, when compared with the conduct of the lower. In the Lord- the poor have found advocates— and effectual advocates too. In the Commons, amongst their own representatives, they found none, or at any rate no effectual ones. Let fhe lower classes remember this. Let tlicni recollect, that in their own house, out of upwards of 000 members, not more than 50 thought it worth their while to attend at all to a measure which aimed to inflict upon the poor and destitute the most atrocious injury. While in the Lords, the representatives of the aristocracy, the thing was met bv the most firm and determined opposition. From what, pass:;', it appears, that the bill had in every sense of the phrase the support of the government, and though il is for the present laid aside, there can be no doubt it will lie again brought forward next session. The Duke of Wellington is represented to hate said tbat, " although he could not pretend to take upon himself the responsibility of introducing a similar mcastire to this in another session of parlia- ment, he should be prepared to to- operate with any noble lord who should think proper to bring forward a measure founded even upon the principle of this one, in order to get rid of the horrible evils of the existing system." We are sorry to hear the Duke of Wellington talk in this way— sorry for his own sake, ns well as for the destitute wretches whom it is sought to injure. His Grace, however, will find that public opinion on this subject will be too strong even tor him. He may be asstrted that he will never be able to pass a law whereby- the bodies of the poor shall be made a saleable commodity ; or if he should force such a law through the legislature, the writer of this article will forfeit his existence, if it be acted upon for twelve months. As, however, there seems to be a determination on the part of the government to effcct this detestable scheme of the infidels, it becomcs those, who from feeling and principle are averse to the measure, to be on the alert; and wc are glad to hear that it is the intention of a number of gentlemen to form themselves into a society for the purpose of exciting and concentrating public opinion against the thing, as well as for the purpose of pro- tecting the rites of scpull urc of the poor and destitute. Wc are sorry to see certain noble lords, though averse to the measure, deprecating discussion on the subject. For our part, wc arc unable io see any reason why it should not be discusscd. If the tiling is right and pro|> er, the more that is said upon it, more likely are people's prejudices to lie done away ; lust if, oil the contrary, it is not right nor proper, public opinion ought to be excited against it by discussion. It is greatly to be regretted that the Bench of Bishops did not offer that opposition to the bill, which the friends of religion had a right to expeetfrom them; with the exception of the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose opposition was very feeble, not one of the reverend prelates said a word on the snbjcct. From an ob- servation, however, of the Duke of Wellington, it would seem that if the bill hail been persisted in, they were prepared to vote against it. The conduct of Lord Malmesbury, Lord Harewood, and Lord Tenterden, particularly the latter, did tlicm great honour, and we arc quite sure that the public will not readily forget their exertions on tbe occasion. Lord Tcnlerdeu said " he felt a very strong objection to that regulation of Ihe bill, by which it was proposed that the bodies of the destitute, the friendless, and of those who had none to help tlieni— of those who were compelled to take refuge in our hospitals and public institutions— should be given up for dissection. He believed that those individuals felt the most unconquerable objection to the dissection- of their bodies." After some further excellent remarks, his lordship observed, that " lie wished lo know whether this bill was to be read a second time, and. to stop there, with an implied pledge oil the part of their lo dships, that a similar measure was to be sanctioned i i the next session; because he begged it to be u iderstood that, as an humble member of that house, he could not consent to such proposition. He would not pledge himself to support the measure under any circumstances."— From these declarations, it is evi- dent, that the public may calculate upon the oppo- sition of the Chief Justice of the King's Bench. The Duke of Wellington's remark about the bill being calculated to put au cr. il to the horrible evils now in cxislence, calls for an observation or two on our part. For might we know, il would put an end to the present horrible evils; but it would, at the suite time, create oilier evils, a thousand lintcs more h irriblo. T'lio present evils, however, might be put a slop to without such a. dreadful alternative. No private schools of anatomy ought to be suffered to exist. Steps should be taken to prevent the waste of subjects that now takes place; and, to prevent burking, no body should be suffered to be dissected till it had undergone the examination of a public officer. Medical men differ as to the number of subjects required ; but almost all agree, lliat as the schools arc at present constituted, a great many more ure used than are necessary. Very able men, who hare given much attention to the subjeel, assert that, under proper regulations, the bodies of executed criminals, and those who die under conviction, together with those of suicidcs and duellists, would be amply sufficient for all the legitimate purposes of dissection. Certainly, if the, bodies of any description of persons arc to be set apart for dissection, those here enumerated are the least objectionable. As, how- ever, none but, the comparatively lich fight duels, and as few poor people kill themselves, there is little hope of the legislators dooming the bodies of suicidcs and duellists to dissection. A w riter in a morning paper, who calls himself a member of parliament, says, " the thing to be wished would be, lo bring back the understanding of the law to that which it Was about 50 years ago— namely, that tl\ e body itself—( the spirit departed)— was not a property, but merely guarded from invasion, c. s invasion of the burial place, which was the incumbent's freehold, and that the number of b dies required might thus be silently aud dccci tly s ibtractcd from the ceme- teries of those crowded cities, where the schools of anatomy existed, where the chances to each indivi- dual having his remains disturbed would be infinitely small, and where all assistances of religious rite having been imparted to the dying, and all the consolation which the solemnity of christian burial can communicate to the survivors, having been duly administered, the feelings of no one could lie injured. The nature of the thing left to its own course would never tempt the removal of more bodies than were absolutely required."— Amongst much confusion of language and thought, this passage contains a good deal of sound sense, and ccrtainly the plan which the writer recommends is infinitely superior .. lo the one laid down in the dissection Bill. By the way, we may remark here, that the conduct of the Times newspaper with regard to this bill has not been a little curious. While the thing was before parliament, the Times not only refrained from saying a word against it, but actually inserted letters in its favour. Now, however, when the victory is won, our patriotic contemporary favours the world with the following paragraph:— " The Anatomy Bill was withdrawn last night, for which we are not sorry. There was a feeling against it, which it was painful, almost irreligious, to mock. Lord Tenterden's view of the subjcct shews that he lias read human nature, us well as the law, with a ' learned spirit.'" Call yc this backing your friends; I^ tdy Londonderry's jewels, and the apparel of her toilette, arc said to be only equalled by royalty. The dressing- table is of white marble, and the toilet- glass eneadre in a rich carved frame of Vienna work- manship, is peculiarly and classically elegant. A dove sits brooding on one side, and an owl winks solemnly on the other; while a laughing love, perched in the centre, shakes his torch between them. We know not whether fliesc ornaments are intended to be emblematic; but la beanie, la sagesse, et /' amour, Coll 111 not be more appropriately placed. A full- length picture of the Emperor Alexander hangs over the chimney- piece. The dressing- room opens into the bed- room— a large and lofty apartment, hung with white and gold, and only remarkable for the magnificence of the principal piece of furniture. It is raised on a platform covered with crimson cloth. The curtains, of crimson silk, lined with amber colour, descending in festoons from a canopy of crimson and gold, arc sustained on each side of the foot of the bed by a large group of Cupids supporting a cornucopia? carved in a bold and massive style, and richly gilt. Wardrobes of satin- wood, beautifully inlaid, occupy the sides of the room. The Morning Herald says—" Nothing can, as people happen to view it, be on the one hand more amusing, or on the other more disgusting, than to sec the way ill which the Whigs are creeping into office. During the whole Session not a breath has any one of them uttered which could, for a moment, discompose ' the powers that be.' The very sight of the loaves and fishes seems to have transmuted the whole band of patriots into the veriest tribe of syco- phants that sheer hunger or the love of place ami power ever produced. What can be worse than that a body of gentlemen should, all their lives long, while out of office, be crying Up the rights and liberties of the people ns the sole object, of their regard, and talk of reform and economy as if they were parts of their very nature; yet, no sooner have they a chance of being themselves tied up to the public crib, than away to the winds go all their professions, and the world beholds them adopting the very worst abuses which they themselves have decried. If it were the wish of those who deal in public principles, and pub- lic. professions to hold them up to the world as a mere farce, 1111 more effectual way of producing that object could be hit upon than that which the * Purity* people have adopted." EXFERIENTIA DOCET.— There is nothing like having . Members of Parliament well versed on all subjects: although the experience of an Honourable Member was last week somewhat oddly declared. On a motion that the Juvenile Offenders' Bill be committed, Mr. Pearse rose and said, with Ihe most praiseworthy gratify, " I think the bill inipracticaT ble— I strenuously advocate the system of whip- ping; from my ou- n experience I am enabled to say, whipping has the best effect 011 offenders!" Just before the breaking out of the French revolution two English gentlemen resident iu Palis were in the daily habit of frequenting the restaura- teur kept by Beauvillier; they were always attended by a waiter remarkable for his attention aud civility to his guests. Our conntryinen were ac- customed to carouse with uproarious mirth the whole night, and indeed frequently until a late hour in the morning. This practice breaking iu upon the quiet custom of the house, and Ihe regular habits of the waiter, at last exhausted his patience, aud he intimated to Beauvillier that lie should quit his service if, the Englishmen were permitted to continue their nightly inroads on his rest. Bcau- villier, preferring the presence of his noisy gmsts to the convenience of Iris servant, the waiter left his service aud entered the army. After the peace the two English gentlemen again visited Paris; and entering their old place of resort, were instantly recognised aud Welcomed by Beauvillier, who called lo their recollection tbe hasty anil angry departure of Ihe waiter, adding, that " Messieurs by their mirth had spoiled au excellent waiter, and created a very indifferent king." The indignant waiter was Murat, afterwards King of Naples.— Atlas. TIIE TEMPLE GARDENS.— It was in the gardens of the Temple, which overhang the Thames, and . in the centre of the busiest and most actively occupied portion of the British metropolis afford a most com- plete exclusion for the studious, tbat one of the most dreadful calamities which ever befel the British nation occurred. It was in these gardens the great contest between the rival houses of York and Lancas- ter originated. Some time after the murder of the Regent, the good Duke Humphrey, at Bury St Edmund's, several Princes of both the Royal Houses were taking their pleasure in this place, which at that day was 110 uncommon thing, the site of the Temple being the resort of persons of the highest distinction, when many severe reflections were thrown out against the Lancastrians, accusing thorn of their treachery towards the Duke, nnd with his death. Havin raised each other to a frenzy by their taunts, the heir to the house of Lancaster called on his friends to " pluck each a red rose," when the heir lo the house of York exclaimed, " let those who love me pluck white rose." The warfare which sprung out of these rival emblems deluged England in native blood many years, in which space there were fought between these houses ( York and Lancaster) twelve dreadful battles, in which the number of slain w as not less than one hundred thousand, all of English blood, besides nearly half that number in executions, rencontres, and skirmishes. Henry VII. married the Princess Elizabeth, of the House of York, and their son, Henry Vlll. united the rival houses. THE MAYOR OF GARRAIT.— The origS of this title, which has been given to a well- known farce, is little understood. About seventy years since, several persons, who lived near that part of Wandsworth, in the vicinity of London, which is now called Garratt- lane, had formed a kind of club, not merely, in the way of similar clubs, to eat and drink, but to couccrt measures for removing the encrdachrticiits made 011 that part of the common, and to prevent others being made in future. As the members of the club were mostly iu low circumstances, they agreed at every meeting to contribute a trifle, iu onicr to make up a purse for the defenre of their mutual rights. When a sufficient sum of money was sub- scribed, tbey brought an action against the en- croachers in the name of the President, or, as they called him, the Mayor of the club. They gained their suit with costs, the encroachments were de- stroyed, and ever after the President, who lived many years, was called the Mayor of Garratt. Tills event happening at the time of a general election the ceremony upon every new election of choosing an out- door member for ( be Borough of Garratt, was constantly kept up to the great emolument of all the publicans of Wandsworth, who annually subscribed to the incidental expenses attending the mock elec- tion. The sccncs of profligacy with which it was latterly attended by the resort of rabble from the metropolis; induced the magistrates to suppress it after 1 ? f) f>, when Sir Harry Dimsdale, a deformed muffin- seller, of Westminster, was elected the last member for Garratt. OWLS FEED ON FISH.— This circumstance is mentioned iu Jennings's Ornithologia, and cor- roborates a declaration made by a labourer who was employed to watch the fish- pond ill the flower- garden ( if liulsti ode, about 50 years ago. The gold and silver fish hud been missed; the duchess ( Margaret, grandmother of the present Duke of Portland) being a lady oi' distinguished taste for every curious object of natural history, suspecting that the pond had been poached, ordered Mr. Agnew, Ihe gardener, to employ men to watch. The watchmen detected the robbers, whom they saw alight on llie side of the poud, and there wail- ing the approach of the fish, captured and devoured them ! The common brown owls w ere the robbers, at least so the men reported ; but they were not generally credited. One of Ihe men, Joseph New. mull, who reporled the above circumstances, still attests the fact.— Magazine of Natural History, No. 2 The contra, tors of the Nairn Baths having given orders for the repair of the fountain and basin which contains the waier to supply the baths, in the absence of the tide, the workmen, when in the act of removing the covering, were greatly sur- prised at the sudd* 11 convulsion of the water in the fountain immediately below. On examination it was found that a seal, iu conflict with a large salmon, was the cause. It was conjectured that the fish must have been carried there by the seal; bi. t us there were also 17 salmon trout and nine salmon, weighing- from filbs. lo ir. Jlbs. each, found alive in il, together with an immense number of skeletons, Ihe probability is that they must have entered by the conductor pipe.— Edinburgh Observer. Lord Winchilsea has recently very much enlarged his fine park, at Eastwell, in Kent. Its circum- ference exceeds ten miles, and it is well stocked with some of the finest trees in England. His Lordship is surrounding the entire domain by a new brick wall, which will be complete iu ten years, having limited himself to the building one mile in each year. If nobody else gains by Buckingham Palace, John Nash, the architect, will— for we see, by a parlia- mentary statement, that his commission of five per cent, on Ihe already incurred expense, will amount to about £ 20,000. The amount a heady esti mat ed for this Palace is £ 500,000; but that is only one- fourth of what it will cost before it is made'a decent thing— that is, if Stafford- row, Stafford- place, Saint James's- street, aud many other streets, tire pulled down, in order to make pleasure- grounds. Enquiry is making into the state of the public boards in Ireland, with a view to reduction. Among the various modes of spending the public money is one of paying various squads of commis- sioners for inquiring into certain alleged abuses in tbe law, in charities, in education, & c.; but what good any of these said commissions have ' as yet produced 110 man in the country can inform us. If we were asked why, we should say because the commissioners are vastly overpaid, and because they, one and all, belong to that very craft of imagc- nu. kitig f r the great Goddess Diana which they are avowedly sent to destroy. It is stated, we perceive, that 1? of these commissioners cost the country, in 1817, £ 75,000, aud in 1828, £ 63,000; but this, we believe, is a mistake, as far as the number is concerned, which, wc suspect, is much fewer, the Chancery and the two law commissions hating received, as yet, little or nothing. Mr. Brougham's eharity commissioners alone have re- ceived Upwards of £ 30,000. We do not- say that the inquiries in which these several commissioners are engaged were not extremely necessary and desir- able; but we do contend that the way in which they have been for the most part carried into effect, Ihe time which they hare occupied, as well as their cost, are all proofs of how little practical value their labours hitherto have really been. Even their reports have swelled to such an enormous bulk, as lo become sealed books not only to the generality of Ihe people, but even to many of those to whose proper departments the subjects belong; and it is not at all uncommon tu hear even such persons declare that they have not been able to " wade through" the mass of endless verbiage in which their discoveries and suggestions are • involved. And what is Ihe consequence of this but, iti fact, to perpetuate the grievances' which it is their object to remedy? For while these commissioners them selves effect little or nothing, the inerticacy of their labours deters others from undertaking a task in which persons of such chosen apiitude have failed. In short, nine times in den, it would be fuund tbat men of plain sense, with moderate remuneration ( or rather, perhaps, a remuneration regulated by Ihe practical good which they effect), would be of more value than legal beads, with legal habits, looking for professional incomes.— Morning Herald. DUKKDOSI' AND EARLDOM OF L. FLJTNOIFC. W- Tiie Earl of'Dai'nley has presented a petition to the King, claiming the Dukedom • of Lennox. His Majesty sent it to the House of Lords, and their lordships have referred it to a committee of privi- leges— London Paper——[ Charles Stuart, sixtli Duke of Lennox, and fourth Duke of Richmond, died without issue in 1672, and Charles the Second was served heir to him. The last male representa- tive of his family was the Cardinal ot' York, who died at Rome iu 1807. l. ord Daruley claims the title of Lennox as heir of line of that family, being descended from Catherine Stuart, Lady D'Aubigny, sister to the above Charles, sixth Duke. Should Lord Daruley succeed in establishing his title, it does not interfere with that of the present Duke of Richmond and Lennox, which was a creation of 1675, nor with the claim of the Woodhead family, as representatives of the ancient Earls of Lennox of the name of Lennox. Thus there may be two Dukedoms and one Earldom of Lennox in our Scottish Peerage.— Scotch Paper.'] ANECDOTE OF GEORGE THE THIRD.— His late Majesty was very partial to Mr. Garbonel, the wine merchant, whom he frequently admitted to l'. is Royal hunts. Returning from the chaee one day, the King entered affably into conversation with the wine merchant, aud rode with him side by side for considerable distance. At length, Lord Walsiiighatn, who was in attendance, called Mr. C a- side, and whispered something to him. What's that? What has Walsingham been saying to you inquired llie good humoured Monarch. I find, Sire, that I have unintentionally been guilty of disrepect by not taking off my bat when I addressed your Majesty ; but you will please to observe that when I limit, my hat is fastened to my w ig, and my to my bend, and, as I am mounted on a very spirited horse, if any thing goes off, we must nil go off together. The King laughed heartily at the whim sical apology CURIOUS T REE.— There has flourished for ages immemorial, in Toluea, a city of Mexico, a single tree of a particular species, the only oneeyer known or heard of, and it is an object of regard, if not reverence, to the natives, who, impelled by a sort of affection, eome from considerable distances to procure its flowers, which resemble a hand. The history of this singular tree has recently been given ill a work printed at Mexico, in the Spanish Ian guage, a translation of which has been published at Paris. The flowers of the unique tree, before they extend themselves, resemble Ihe hand Shut, and afterwards they resemble the hand open. Tltey are of a deep red, extremely brilliant. The avidity of Ihe inhabitants to procure thein suffers few to arrive at maturity, and produce fruit. For this reason sentinels are posted round the tree, in order that some of tbe seeds may be obtained. Some time ago, the English botanists sent into Spain visited Toluca, for the purpose of observing and describing this curious tree, from w hich. they took several slips, and there is reason to hope tbat the genus may be multiplied, aud that it will not be impossible to rear it iu Europe, where it would add to the wonders of nature which it contains. The Mexicau iiuiiie of this tree is maepaleeochiquanhitl, a name perfectly descriptive, importing u The tree whose flowers resemble a hand." CAUTION TO COUNTRY TEA- DEALERS.— It is not generally understood, that a seller of tea in the country is prohibited from supply! ug any friend in London, be the quantity what it may.— A circum- stance occurred a few months since with Mr. Prout, of Salisbury. A friend of his, wishing to patronise him, gave an order for 201b. of tea; a permit was refused by the permit writer, and Mr. l'rout ( not wishing to disappoint his friend or lose the profit of the sale) sent the tea to Mr. WoolcoM's waggon, office. This circumstance was closely watched by one of the Excise officers, and the tea was seized. Two applications were made to the Hon. Board of Commissioners without etfect, and the tea was sold 011 Tuesday by order of the Board. Old Fletcher one day said to Pope, " Alas! I have nothing to do but to die. Lam a poor individual; 110 creature to wish or fear for my life or death, " l is the only reason I have to repent being as I am, a single man. Now I grow old, 1 am like a tree without a prop; and without young trees of my own shedding to grow round me, for company aud defence." The Speaker of the English House of Commons is a man doomed to be bored. Doomed to sit in a chair all night long— night afler night— month after month— year after year— being bored. No relief for liini, but crossing and uncrossing his legs from time to time. No respite. If lie sleep it must be with his eyes open, fixed in the direction of tbe haranguing bore. He is not, however, bound bona ficle to hear all the bore says. This happily was settled in the last century. " Mr. Speaker, it is your duty to hear me," said a bore of the last century to the then Speaker of the House of Com- mons.—" It is the undoubted privilege, Sir, of every member of this house to be heard/"' " Sir," re- plied the Speaker, " 1 know it is the undoubted right of every member of this house to speak, but 1 was not aware that it is his privilege to be always beard."— Janus. A member of the irregulars of £ sculapius, after dwelling at Worcester for a few mouths, has sud- denly retreated, leaving his landlord and other persons minus. His skill, it seems, could cure all the ills incident to man, except poverty and knavery. At the police office, Nottingham, last week Oliver Cromwell! was committed to gaol as aroguc and vagabond! " To what base uses may we not come, Horatio;"— Boston Gazette. It is we think plain from his speech as well as from other circumstances known to us, that the Duke of Wellington has adopted and retained all the prejudices against Country Bankers, and all the predilections in favour of a Paper Currency subject to the confront of the Government, which Lord Liverpool had been known to avow,— his Lordship wished that such controul should be exercised, either directly by the State itself, or bv its irre- sponsible agents, the Bank Directors. The noble Earl talked darkly in Parliament some years ago about the expediency of the Government taking flic profits which might be derived from a circulation of Paper. A statesman never drops a bint of this portentous nature, iu a formal and considered speech, until after the subject to Avhich it relates has been matter of repeated discussion in the private ministerial circles. And we have 110 doubt, that that which appeared to be only a gernt in the mind of Lord Liverpool a few years since, is now a very vigorous shoot in that of the Duke of Wellington. Lord Liverpool only hinted that it might be expe- dient to take into consideration at some future time, whether the profit of issuing paper money to the public should not be retained by the Government itself; but the idea appears to have shot up so rapidly in the mind of the Duke of Wellington, that he begins already lo call the Bank of England notes,' State Currency.' His Grace said be would assert this fact ' that there was at present more of what he might call State Currency in circulation— more notes of the Bank of England and sovereigns; a greater quantity of circulating medium of these two denominations, than there bad been at any former period before the late war, or before the Bank Restriction Act was passed.'— This is a period which gives rise to great speculation in the minds of all thinking men, on subjects of banking and the currency; and therefore, perhaps, expressions dropped by men of influence, in conversation, about the best modes of regulating these matters, ought not to be regarded as of so much weight as they would be considered at other times; men are prone to suggest expedients for the consideration of official functionaries. We possess no knowledge of the private intention of Ministers respecting the Currency, but we know that some Gentlemen in ofiice, who are supposed to possess great iutiucncc in such mutters upon the leading Ministers of the Crown, talk freely of the necessity of having Ihe Currency of the Country entirely subject to tbe regulation of the Government; and looking at the language, of the Prime Minister, we should not be surprised to witness a discussion respecting this matter in Parliament during the next Session. We have never yet given a deliberate opinion on this subjeel, which we afterwards saw reason to change; and we now give it as the serious conviction of our minds, that there should be Si great deal more done than has yet been attempted, to place the Country Bank System in a state of security.— Circular to Bankers. VENTILATION OF COAL MINES— The first of two lectures proposed to be delivered ou this im- portant subject was given 011 Monday, at the British Coffee House, Cockspur- slreef, Cliaring. cross, by Mr. Francis Forster. The lecturer rendered his subject extremely interesting by the great practical knowledge displayed 011 it, by the lucid arrange- ment of its several heads, and the very clear and simple manner in which it was communicated to his hearers. One of the most interesting parts of this lecture was a description, illustrated by an ingenious model, of what the lecturer thinks the most improved method of ventilation now iu use ill some of the principal coal mines of the north of England. This consists iu forcing a current of air, by means of a heated furnace, up the " upcast" shaft. The place of the air thus abstracted is inmediately supplied by a stream of cool air, which rushes down the " downcast" shaft into the mine. If nothing more than this were done, the cool air would flow by the most direct passage it could find to the low er part of the upcast pit, through which it would escape with a rapidity proportioned to the heat of the furnace, and thus the only portion of the mine ventilated would be the passage between the two pits or shafts. To prevent this, there is a contrivance, simple, but extremely ingeuious, by which the air from the downcast pit is made to circulate over every part of the interior to tbe very end, or, as it is termed, " face" of tbe mine ( often consisting of a surface of from 10 to 30 miles) before it can make its escape by the upcast shaft. If the lecture were confined to this description and illustration only, it would well deserve the attention of scientific men, to many of whom, by its very accurate display of the interior of a coal mine, we have little doubt it would suggest improvements which may be important to the greater safely aud convenience of the miners. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A CLAUDE. A chimney board was last week purchased of a timber and partition broker, which upon inspection proved to be a landscape, although artfully painted over in imitation of mahogany. It has evidently been hid by this stratagem a great length of time; but what the object was, is puzzling to conjecture, unless it was done abroad in Older to save the duty. The picture has been seen by two or three eminent connoisseurs, and has beeu pronounced to be a genuine picture by Claude. It was bought iu the first instance of tbe broker for three sovereigns ; and is now in the possession of a Mr. Charles Young, who has already been bid as many hun- dreds. THE BANANA TREE.— The amount and rapidity of produce of this plant probably exceed tbat of. auy other in the known world, lit eight or nine months after the sucker has been planted, clusters of fruit are formed ; and in about two mouths more they may be gathered. The stem is then cut down, and a fresh plant, about two- thirds of the height of the parent stem, succeeds, and bears fruit in about three months more. The only care necessary is to dig once or'tvvice a year round tbe roots. Ac- cording to our author, on 1076 square feet, from 30 to 40 banana trees may be planted in . Mexico, which will yield in the space of Hie year 4414lbs. avoirdu- pois of fruit; while the same space would yield only 33lbs. avoirdupois of wheat, nnd 99 of potatoes. The immediate effect of this facility of supplying the wants of nature is, that the man who can, by labouring two days iu tbe week, maintain himself anil family, will devote the remaining live to idleness or dissipation. The same regions that produce the banana, also yield the two species of manioc, the bitter aud the sweet; both of which appear to have been cultivated before the couquest. — Foreign Quarterly Review. A farmer near Faringdon lias ventured on the experiment of sow ing a large field of Indian Corn. The seed was put into the ground 011 the 7lli . May, made its appearance above tbe surface 011 the 15th, and has every prospect of being a prolific crop.— Lord Vernon has offered a premium to his tenantry, for the best crop of Indian corn of their own growth. ANECDOTE OF SHERIDAN.— Shortly after the attacks 011 Ijiril Melville in the House of Commons, at the time of his Lordship's impeachment, Sheridan was deer- stalking, at Blair, the Duke of Athol's, with M'Intyre, the head game- keeper. When they had walked about three miles ill the forest, Sheridan pro- posed resting on a bank to refresh ; during the repast M'Intyre asked, " Pray, Mr. Sheridan, are you any relative of that Sheridan who abuses our Lord Mel- ville so much in the House of Commons?" Sheridan looking aghast, and seeing nobody near, immediately replied, " that fellow, why he is the greatest villain that ever was hanged. Thank God, he is 110 son, brother, or cousin of mine." " I am glad to hear it," aid his companion. " 1 wish I had him here, I'd teach him a Highland fling or two. Why we look to Lord Melville as King of Scotland ; he has made the fortunes of all our rich men." Sheridan turned the discourse, and declared he was never in his life so much afraid. THE COURIER versus BLACKWOOD.— Black- wood's Magazine, last published, has some excellent articles, condemning the course pursued in submitting to the demands of the Irish Papists. The Courier, ouee the pretended Champion of Protestantism, speaking of the last number of Blackwood, says, il is " most powerful. But we " cannot approve of the disposition to keep up a " spirit of irritation upon a subject which is no " longer sub judice— which has become part of the " law of the land, and must be obeyed." The simple writer of this passage may rest assured, that, after his recent tergiversation, the public care very little as to what he approves or disapproves. Language such as he has now put forth, becomes only the most abject slave: it would ill fact, befit the apologist of the grossest tyranny that ever existed. It is, perhaps, not generally known to our readers, that Sir Peter Laurie, one oi' the Aldermen of Lon- don, and Sir Richard Birnie, the head Police Magis. ( rate in England, are both natives of Scotland, and both commenced their career together in Loudon as apprentice saddlers, with Ulr. Godsman, sou of that Captain Godsman whose name is as familiar as a household word in Inverness, from the circumstance of his having formed one. of the most beautiful aud romantic walks in the vicinity of the towu.— Inver- ness Courier. EXCISE INFORMATION.— The following will lie interesting to those of our readers whose trade may render them liable to the like. It was an informa- tion laid before Ihe Mayor of Chester, by an excise officer, against Mr. Hugh Lloyd, of Chester, chemist, for selling spirits of wine without a license. It had been heard, but the decision was postponed, to afford time and means of coming to a decision justly conformable with the law.— It was then brought up ou Saturday hist, before the Mayor and Mr. Alder- man Francis. The in formation was under the act 6th Geo. IV. chap. 81, sec 26, which provides that " every retailer of spirits, & c. not being a retailer of spirits in Ireland, who shall sell such spirits without a license, shall respectively forfeit and lose the sum of £ 50." Thomas Barton, an excise officer, deposed that he purchased, on the 23d of March last, a pint of spirits of wine at the shop of Mr. Lloyd. Mr. Lloyd declared that he had beeu in business upwards of forty years, aud he never, understood, before the present infoi inatio 1 was laid, that persons carrying on the business of druggists were required to take out a license to e. able the. 11 to sell more than a pint of spirits of wine at one-. The magistrates being empowered to 11,' nigate llie penalty, he was convicted in the sum of £ 12. 10s. aud costs. MODES OF DESTROYING EAGI. ES.— In those parts of the highlands of Scotland where eagles are numerous, and where they commit great ravages among the young lambs, the following methods are used for destroying them :— When the nest happens to be in a place situated in a direction of tbe per- pendicular from the edge of the cliff above, a bunch of dry heath or grass, iuclosiug a burning peat, is let down- into il. In other cases, a person is let down by means of a rope, which is held above by four or five men, and contrives to destroy the eggs or young. The person who thus descends takes a large stick with him, to beat off or intimidate Ihe old eagles. The latter, however, always keep at a respectful distance, for, powerful as they are, they possess liltle of the courage which has iu all ages been attributed to them, being in this respect much inferior to the domestic cock, the raven, the sea- swallow, and a hundred other birds. Sumetimes eagles have their uests in places accessiblc without a rope, and instances are known of persous fre- quenting these uests for the purpose of carrying off the prey which tbe eagles carry to their young. A very prevalent method by which eagles are de- stroyed is the following :— In a place not far from a nest, or a rock iu which eagles repose, or 011 the face of a hill which they are frequently observed to scour in search of prey, a pit is dug to the depth of a few feet, of sufficient size to admit a man with ease. The pit is then covered over with sticks and pieces of turf, the latter not being cut from the vicinity, eagles, like other cowards, being ex- tremely wary and suspicious. A small hole is formed ai one end of this pit, through which pro- jects the muzzle of a gun, while at tbe other is left an opening large enough to admit a featherless biped, who on getting in pulls after him a bundle of heath of sufficient size to close it. A carcase of a sheep or dog, or a fish or fowl, being previously left without, at the distance of from, twelve to twenty yards, the lyer- iu- wait watches patiently for the descent of Ihe eagle, and, the moment it has fairly settled upon the carrion, fires. In this man- ner multitudes of eagles are yearly destroyed in Scotland. The head, claws, and quills, are kept by the shepherds, to be presented to tbe factor at Martinmas or Whitsunday, for the premium of from half a- crown to five shillings, which is usually awarded on such occasions.— Edinburgh Literary Gazette. FIRE ON THE SAFFRON WALDF. X STAGE COACH. — Owing to the very improper and too frequent practice of tobacco smoking iu travelling by stage coaches, the luggage 011 the roof of the above coach took fire on its journey from London on Thursday hist, to the great alarm of the passengers. A mall sitting at the back part of the coach was determined, to the utter disregard of the comfort of his fellow passengers, on enjoying his pipe ; and a few miles beyond Harlow, the luggage was discovered lo be on fire, iu consequence of his carelessly letting the lighted tobacco fall amongst it. Before the fire could be extinguished, a box containing cotton and woollen goods was consumed, and very considerable damage done to the luggage of a young lady who was one of the passengers. Cigar smoking is a grow ing nuisance, by which stage coach travellers are frequently much annoyed— we say nothing of the expense to which the proprietors of these vehicles are subject in case of damage to Ihe pro- perty entrusted to their care by fire, as in the present instance. It would be well, also, if the dandy cigar smokers, with whom the streets of the metropolis now so much abound, and who amuse themselves by puffing the smoke from their filthy mouths into the faces of all they meet, were placed under the strict surveillance of the police. It w ill be seen, by the debate on Ihe Marquis of Blandford's motion,' that further changes are to take place in the State. This is clear from the speech of Air. Peel, who resisted reform, not ou the principle, but merely because it was too late in the session to agitate ( we write the word almost unconsciously), to agitate the measure. Ministers can, therefore, hardly oppose it next year. We confess that we shall not regret this, after what has recently oc- curred; for we agree with Lord Blaudford and Lord Winchilsea that, but for the stale of our borough representation, the constitution would not have been sacrificed. How Mr. Peel felt aud looked when Lord tlowick told him of the voters of Westbury, w e slop not to enquire.

Cobbetf once said that O'Connell was a hypocrite and a liar, and called " him a reptile, and said if he wore near him lie would knock him on tbe head. O'Connell said that Cobbett was a savage, a beast, and a mon- ster, whose name was a pollution to his ears. Hunt challenged O'Connell's honesty, and O'Connell said he ought to be struck on the face with one of his own blacking brushes. Lawless quarrelled with; them all, and abused them all, and they all returned the compliment in kind. Notwithstanding, however; tiicse trifling disagreements, they met the other day at dinner, and Lawless invited Cobbett to shake hands with O'Connell, and O'Conncll forgot and for- gave, and they all shook hands and sat dow n together, and spent an evening of uproarious festivity ; the two English Radicals being in 110 respect less jovial than the two Irish Radicals. One cannot but admire this kind obliviousness of disposition, which drowns in a Clip of generous wine all the past animosities of life. That man must indeed be amiable, who, believing another to be a liar or a savage, can nevertheless take him to his bosom upon occasions. The wood- man who was bit by tbe serpent he nestled and warmed, is not an example for your modern Radicals. They, good souls, are full of tenderness; if they sometimes vituperate and call hard names, and swear that their neighbour is not fit to be trusted, the next day they carouse with the base one as lovingly as if nothing had happened, although 110 reason can be given why the hard names should be recalled if true, or why they should have been bestowed if false. The clown in the pantomime screams " murder" in a lusty voice, but lowers his tone when a bribe is dropped into his hand, reducing his accusation to a whisper in proportion to the amount received. So it is with tlie lovers' quarrels of the Radicals— at a dis- tance they roared at each other, but as. they approach nearer and nearer, they soften their reproaches, until at last they meet face to face, and kiss, and are friends again. O'Conncll never can be useful in Parliament. His reconciliation with Cobbett has sunk him immeasurably low in the estimation of England; not merely because Cobbett is all that O'Connell has represented him to be, lint because after that representation he could not acknowledge the ' savage' as his friend without forfeiting his own character for truth and consistency. He has pandered to the yvorst of all vices. I11 parliament he will stand without friend or party; and it is right he should, since be cannot keep terms even with llis own declarations. O'Connell's Character of Cobbett in December last. " I deeply regret that the cars of the meeting have been shocked and insulted by the name of that savage Cobbett. After all the outrages that tbat miscreant lias been guilty of,— upon public and pri- vate feelings,— upon public anil private reputation,— the fell monster has again returned to strike at and lacerate the feelings of all those persons who were interested in the fate of the late lamented John Brie. This monster has been threatened as an infliction upon the Catholic Association. The man, whose name was without a blot, has been made a subject for the ferocious and ribald jests of one of the great- est monsters that ever disgraced any age or nation. When this assembly is told that it should regard the censure of such a practised liar— of such a living libel 011 the human species,— I lose my patience. Let not the name of this beast— for man 1 w ill not call him — be ever again mentioned in this assembly. He is, as lie should be, an outcast from all that is respectable and dignified in society, and a disgrace to the literature of the age." Cobbett's character of O'Conncll in March las!. " I have had three years to fathom the depth of Mr. O'Council's hypocrisy, falsehood, impudence, and political perfidy. It is impossible for me to describe how very base the man is. I will make him despica- ble in the eyes of the people of Ireland. He is a fool as well as a knave— a profound hypocrite— a trem- bling poltroon— a stupid profligate, an impudent brawler. The fellow has 110 bottom. He has no regard for truth. To deceive and delude people, and to gain by the deception, are the trade of his life. When the toad spits its venom at us, we do not answer in words. No : with stick or with stone we knock tlie reptile 011 the head. If Mr. O'Conncll were placed conveniently within my reach, 1 might thus answer him. He has committed an enormous offence against me. I never will forgive him until he make atonement."

His Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the other ingenuous and pious persons to whom we address this extract, cannot fail to be gratified at tbe attestation of Cardinals, Colleges, and Prelates, to the soundness of their doctrine, and the acknow- led gment of the u meek saint" who presides over " the church—" ( we cannot write it), and who is so thoroughly acquainted with the Irish church, is a voucher which they must be proud to otter to the people of England. A great Protestant triumph no doubt it is upon which the Pope pronounces his benediction, for which he orders a solemn thanks- giving, which causes " Ihe holy city'* sitting on seven hills to be illuminated, and invites to^ the filling of her cup eveu to overflowing, in all her festival halls. ANCIENT ROOFS— Westminster Hall has the largest roof of the ancient construction any where to be met with ; and it is difficult to imagine a work of human art which possesses, in so equal a degree, the three requisites of beauty » strength, and durability. This hall was built by William II. ( Rufus), in ti e year 1097 j it was originally intended as a banquet- ing- hall; and the monarch is said to have held a magnificent feast in it on the Whitsuntide after its erection. Stowe adds, that ample as are the dimen- sions of the hall,, it did not satisfy the ambition of the king, who observed, * This hall is not bigge enough by one half, and is but a bed- chamber in comparison of that I minde to make.* And Stowe adds, 4 a dili- gent searcher might yet find out the foundation of the hall, which he hadde proposed to btiild, stretching from the river Thames even to the common highway.* All traces of this arc of course now obliterated, and the existing hall is left without an intended rival. It is 275 feet long, and 74 feet wide; and, though the original proportions have been a little deranged by the raising of the floor,— which became necessary, as the vast accumulation of ships in the river down- wards, probably the deposition of silt in the bed of the river, and ccrtainly the erection of London- bridge ( about 100 years afterwards), caused the old floor to be overflowed during floods. It is s'ill a graceful structure. The roof of Westminster Hall is formed of chesnut, and does not appear to be iu the least decayed. This great hall was, however, enlarged, and had its present roof constructed, in the time of Richard II. who, in the profusion of that expenditure which led to Wat Tyler's insurrection, is reported to have feasted ten thousand guests under this roof. Westminster Hall is now set apart for ihe most solemn state purposes,— « ? such as the trial of persons im- peached by tiie Commons \ and banquets at the coronations of kings.— The Parliament House in Edinburgh, though a much smaller and more recent structure than Westminster Hall, has also a fine roof of the ancient description. The parliament house is one hundred and twenty- two feet in length, aud forty- nine in breadth. The erection of it was com- pleted in the year 1340 ; it was built at an expense of £ 1000, by the corporation of Edinburgh ; and is used partly as an ante- room to the courts of justice, and partly as a place of resort for the inhabitants. The trusses and roof, generally speaking, are of oak ; they have not the massive grandeur of those iu West- minster Hall, and the effect is injudiciously brokei* by gilding.
