By W. C. WOODBRIDGE, A. M. The Geography is accompanied by An ATLAS, ex- hibiting, in Connection with the Outlines of Countries, the prevailing Religions, Forms of Government, De- grees of Civilization, the comparative Size of Towns, Rivers, and Mountains; nnd the Climates and Pro- ductions of the Earth, iu Rojnl 4lo. coloured, price 8s. half- hound. This Atlas has been compiled from the best Authori- ties, and contains all the late Discoveries of Parry, Weddell, Denham, and Clapperton. But its principal Claim to Attention is founded on the entire Novelty of the Plan : each Map presents, not only the Geogra- phical Outlines of'Countries, but a Series of Numbers attixed to the Mountains, Rivers, and Cities, which indicate their comparative Rank, and enables the Student, by Reference to the Table of Classification to discover their actual Magnitude. The Isothermal Chart exhibits the Climate of different Regions, as determined, by Thermometrical Observation, with their most important Productions, and presents a striking Illustration of the Diversity existing in the same Lati- tudes according to the Situation of Countries. In the Moral and Political Chart, the Outlines of each Country contain a Number, showing its Popula- tion, and several Emblems indicating its Government, Heligion, and Slate of Civilization, and forms, in EfffCt, a Moral Picture of Ihe World.

Its exterior has lohg been the Subject of unvarying Approbation, while the interior presents a Model of Perfection well worthy of Imitation. The, Altitude of the principal Building admits of the most effective Scenic Operations* facilitated by the Application of the most approved Mechanism.

The Ground Rent is £ 5f) 4. 4s. and the Taxes do not exceed £ 101), so that this Annual Ex- penditure would scarcely exceed one great Night's Receipt; and it will be observed, as a most remarkable Fact connected with Theatrical History, that by Means of the Profit Rental produced by other Property in- cluded in the Lease, IT IS ENTIRELY RENT FREE, It was completed in the Year 1821, under the Super- intendence of Mr. Beazeley, and the Cost, under a very economical Arrangement, exceeded £ 125,000.

Always esteemed as one of the most, eligible and compact in the County— it includes Nine Farms of One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty- seven Acres of uncommonly Fine Land— the Farm Houses of a superior Class— the Entire Village of IVhitwell— the Whole Lordship— and the iVhitwell Inn and Posting. House. The Rental nearly £ 3,000 a- year. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has great Satisfaction in announcing that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at Ihe Mart, in London, on Thursday, the 13th of August, at Twelve o'CIock, in One I , ot. a highly important and singularly desirable FREE HO I. D PROPERTY. Ii comprehends THE WHIT WELL ESTATE, WITH THE WHOLE LORDSHIP & ENTIRE VILLAGE, desirably situate twelve Miles only from York, and 011 the direct Road to SCAB BOROUGH, ( a fashionable and much- frequented WATERING PLACE,) and Marlton and Whitby. The Estate embraces so many and such important Qualifications,, that it will be impossible to compress them in the confined Limits of an Advertisement. Enough, however, will he said, it is apprehended, to enlist the serious and immediate Attention of the great Capitalists, and more especially those whose Property is in ihe Funds; for it will not be doubted that ihe exceedingly high Price must render a re- action at no distant Period quite certain, aud the very Cause which necessarily will diminish the one will increase in the exact Proportion the Value of Land, and especially such an Estate as the one now presented, to which the most sceptical could not hazird an Objection. It includes NINE FARMS, CONTAINING 1557 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, PRODUCING NEARLY THREE THOUSAND POUNLS A- YEAR, With Farm- Houses and Buildings as may safely challenge Rivalry.— The Tenantry are not merely respectable and of long standing, but contented and a ( Hue lit. To demonstrate this Assertion, it is only necessary to add, there is not, nor lias there been, even in Times ( happily gone by) of Agricultural Distress, a solitary Arrear of Rent; to which may be added, it possesses the great Desideratum of being FREE FROM TYTHE, & EXTRA- PAROCHIAL. The Residence is of an unobtrusive Character, it pre- tends not to a Comparison with its mighty neighbour- ing Compeer, the EARL OF CARLISLE'S AT CASTLE- HOWARD, although it does not yield to it in internal Comfort.— From the Terrace Walk the Views are indescribably beautiful, and a Panorama is presented, equalling in its Extent and varied Scenery any Thing iu this favoured Country ; the prescribed Space forbids a lengthened Detail. The magnificent Minster at York, the Ruins of Sheriff- Hnltou and Crake Castle are the most prominent. The more distant View extends far beyond Harrogate, and is terminated only by the Range of Yorkshire Hills. Such is the faint and imperfect Outline of the Advan- tages exclusively belonging to the Whit well Estate; and it may be observed, in Conclusion, that it offers one of the most eligible and s- afe Investments that has ever been offered to unreserved Competition. THE WHIT WELL INN & POSTING- HOUSE. A most comfortable Abode, and the first Stage from York to Scarborough, forms a Part of ibis valuable Estate. It can be viewed until the Sale, by Appli- cation to Mr, JACOB STUBBS ( one of the respectable Tenants); and Particulars with Lithographic Plans annexed may be had ( at One Shilling each) Twenty- one Days prior to the Sale, at Etridge's Hotel, and the Black Swan, York; the Bull Hotel, Sca> borough; the New Talbot, Malton; the Angel, Dorcister; the White Horse, Tadcasler; the Waterloo Hotel, Liver- pool ; of Messrs.

The intelligence from St. Petersburg!! is to the lSth of July, but iidds nothing to our last advices. ' J'he harvest had commenced in Poland before the 20th nit. and promised to be fine and abundant. The French and German papers just received are at variance with each other in their accounts of the present state of affairs in the East; the former speaking of the more than probability of pence, whilst llie latter refer lo the mighty preparations for a spirited continuance of hostilities. General Geismar is said to be preparing to attack Nicopolis, and the Russian armies to be generally moving to follow up the late successes. A letter from Wallachin, states that an official communication has been made by the Russian President to the Boyars, informing them that the Emperor Nicholas was " endeavouring to establish peace on the basis of the treaty of Akermann." From this it is assumed that overtures have without doubt been made, having peace on moderate and reasonable terms for their object; and the return of the Allied Ambassadors to Constantinople at such a crisis, is looked upon as a most propitious event. BERLIN, JULY 25.— Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess aud Prince George of Cumberland left this city yesterday for London. CLARE ELECTION —' The Election for Clare has terminated— and advisedly, for the present, Without a contest. Upon the occurrences that took place, we have little to remark. Mr O'Cotincll was proposed by Mr. O'Gorman Malion, and seconded by Mr. Steele. Both were dressed in their Green Collars of the Order of Liberators ; and the only novelty in the rhodomontade uttered on the occasion, was, that the proposer of Mr. O'Conncll in this instance announced himself as a Candidate upon a future occasion.— There were but Six I rotestavts in Court during the Election ; and it has been intimated to us, anil that from authority, that the Aristocracy of the County is playing a game under the best legal advice - and that Mr. O'C'onnell can never be the sitting Member. Star of'Bruniuick. The Country — and the Parliament. Vie have, in our 41b page, given an ample report of tlie address delivered by Mr. Sadler, at a recent meeting, on the occasion of a dinner being given to Iiim by his constituents at Newark ; and we recom- mend it to attentive perusal.— We have since received the number just published of Blackicood's Magazine ; from which we extract the following observations: " During the last Session, enquiry was called for and denied; but enough was said to insure the certainty that matters cannot remain in their present state much longer. When Bonaparte lost the cha- racter of being invincible, how speedily was he over- thrown ! We may safely say that Sadler has stripped the Economists of the attribute of infallibility. Their dicta are no longer received as oracles by the Honourable House. And if, only for another session, his health should continue unimpaired, and his good heart and his holy confidence should not fail him, we have . little reason to doubt that the glozing lies and the plausible sophistries, by which the nation has been so long deluded, will be detected, and exposed, and the country protected against the pernicious counsels of ignorant or unprincipled advisers. " It is consolation to find, that an illustrious member of the royal family continues unshaken in the principles which he has ever professed ; and is not to be scared from bis defence of the institutions of his country, in this, their hour of peril, either by calumny or intimidation. The heart of the country still is sound — The glorious Oxford election gave proof, if any were wanting, that the educated British community know how to discriminate between a miserable counterfeit of principle and honesty, and a straightforward and honourable man. The Church is sound. Did she not, on that occasion, despite the example of some of the bishops, rnobly perform her part ? We appeal to those who witnessed the concourse of unbeneficed, unfriended clergymen, who, from the most distant parts of England, thronged the roads on their way to Oxford, and who, in the same spirit, would have performed a journey barefoot to Jerusalem, if the same object was thereby to be accomplished ; we appeal to those w ho wit- nessed that interesting, that affecting scene, and we ask them, can they despair of a cause thus asserted, thus maintained ; in which religion becomes patriotism, and patriotism is elevated into religion ; which actuates its votaries thus to set at nought private interest and personal ease; and causes the aged man who has grown gray under neglect and disappoint- ment, and whose family may, perhaps, at that moment be asking him for bread, to spurn the most glittering temptation which could be presented to him, as the price of abandoning the post at which lie had been placed for the defence of the throne and the altar ?— Yes! This was the luminous spot during the last Session of Parliament. The spirit of Oxford will not s ion be forgotten. It is only those who know not England who can despond. There is a fund of good feeling still to be relied on among the people. The fig- tree lias been shaken, the rotten produce has dropped off, but the tree is not barren ; and Inglis and Sadler are but the first fruits of the producc that may be expected. A singular and an awful diversity of sentiment and feeling has taken place between the different orders of the State. Almost in the manner of a Harlequinade, the head has been separated from the body. Parliament no longer derives its life from the people— no longer imparts its influences to move them. But the people themselves possess power. They can still correct and displace. They have shown that they can discriminate. And with the good men of high station who will guide them, and the good cause to be defended, England will still guard the Church and the Bible, the Tribunal aud the Throne; and even her abhorrence of apostacy may be remembered to its edification, when the grief of treachery and desertion shall be felt no longer. *#*## # # # " The leading men in cities and boroughs content themselves at elections willi returning such candidates as offer themselves: they make no effort to find suit- able representatives. Such conduct contributes very largely to make the House of Commons what it is. Let these men meet, and invite those to represent them whose character and principles can be depeuded on. This would have in the House a most beneficial operation. " The obstacle to the formation of a proper House of Commons which is to be found in the Ministry, cannot, we think, have long existence, although it may exist until ( lie ruin of the empire is consum- mated. This Ministry, which might have been founded on a rock, stands throughout on the sands of destruction. The Duke of Wellington has evidently laboured from the first to establish it on the borough interests. On being made the Premier, he threw his net over the Clevelands, See. amidst the Whigs.; and certain changes which have just, taken place shew what he has lately been doing with the Rutlands, the Beauforts, & c. amidst those who once were Tories. The Lowthers may do what they please, and still retain office, and have high dignities thrust upon them, provided, however, that tliey will, like men of mi principle, belong to him, no matter what he may do. Scotland now forms one enormous close borough, and he has made the proprietors of it his own. He clearly makes it his grand principle to attach to him, without any regard to party or character, every man who has the command of votes in Parliament. " In consequence, we see all the more notorious boroughmnngers, as they are called, not only sup- porting, but bound lo, the same Ministry. Is it from honourable community of sentiment that the Cleve- lands and Rutlands, the Fitzwilliams and Beauforts, now form one party ? Is it from unity of creed and feeling that their troops in the Lower House, the Broughams, Lowthers, and Mannerses, the Scarletts and Somersets, display unity of action? No', we look in vain for the vote given without a considcra tion. They have obtained, or are to have, equal shares of dignity and emolument; and this conse- quence of their harmony reveals the cause. # # # # # # # " We believe that, under the present, system of election, much may be done towards reforming the House of Commons; and we caution the country against being induced by the question of change, to neglect individual effort. Let it take the proper measures without loss of time ; for a dissolution of Parliament will probably take place much sooner than the knowing ones dream of. " There once existed a party in the House which bore the title cf ' The Country Gentlemen ;' and history proves that it was, not only an ornament, but something much more valuable to the country. What has destroyed this party? Has it been driven by the revilings of its enemies into the cowardly guilt of suicide ? Or has it plunged into the whirl- pool of apostacy and profligacy ? Whatever may have caused its disappearance, it is certain that no trace of its existence can be discovered. Instead of that powerful body, which once in proud independ- ence held the balance between contending parties— fought the battles of the wronged and distressed— cherished right feelings—- knew no party but its country— and protected her rights, honour, laws, and institutions, as jealously from the attacks of men in power as from those of other enemies, we find only spiritless, trembling, servile instruments of that mon- strous compound of Jacobinism and Cockneyism, which has expelled every thing English from the Honse of Commons. " To the Country Gentlemen of England, hot in Parliament, we say, what has produced this melan- choly substitution ? Why is England practically expelled front Parliament? Why is she practically expelled from the Cabinet? Why is she in effect no longer suffered to share in the management of her own affairs, and assist in the governing of herself? You hold in your hands the county representation, and still you have no party in the House of Commons. " If your country be no longer dear in your eyes, attend a little to personal interest. The corn law cannot be maintained under the present system ; but even if it can, the system will soon reduce the means of buying corn sufficiently to sink prices to the point requisite for destroying rent, and of course the value of land. You are on the brink of a precipice ; you must exert yourselves, or be ruined ; you must do your duty as honest Englishmen, or cease to be, in regard to estate, Country Gentlemen. ***# #**• " Let those who are not yet convinced of the necessity of effort, reflect well on the following facts. The British empire is now in reality governed upon what are called liberal opinions, and by the men who name themselves Liberals. " These Liberals declared, that the application of their opinions would benefit incalculably the general interests of the empire. " What is the issue ? The population, as a whole, has been for nearly four years in far worse circum- stances than it was ever in previously. Pauperism and want have been alarmingly increased. The revenue declines in spite of the increase of population — public morals have sustained portentous injury— public spirit is destroyed— the country has lost its veneration for its laws and institutions— the founda- tions of the monarchy and constitution have been taken away— the Church is in danger of overthrow— Government is no longer confided in— the lower classes are arrayed against the upper ones— the com munity is severed from its rulers- and the empire is surrounded with every thing which can contribute to its ruin and dismemberment." " Is there then no call for effort? Is CHANGE WHOLLY NEEDLESS?" Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev. Charles Bury :— House- Visitors, Mr. J. Atcher- ley and Mr. S. Asterley. We congratulate the public, and particularly tra- vellers from this town and neighbourhood to Worces- ter, Cheltenham, and Bath, on the very great improvement just effected in the road immediately on leaving the Ironbridge, owing to the great liberality of the proprietors of the lronbridge, and the spirited conduct of several gentlemen in the neighbourhood, who have subscribed nearly £ 2000. The line" of road is now entirely changed, whereby the ascent of one of the most dangerous hills in the county is avoided. OXFORD CIRCUIT. The Commission of Assize w as opened at Abingdon on the25th ult. by Barons Hullock Vaughan. The first- mentioned Learned Judge was seized on Sunday evening with a severe bowel affection. Dr. Tomktiis, a physician of that town, was immediately called in, who, perceiving the serious nature . of the attack, suggested tliat a physician of Oxford should be sent for. Dr. Ogle accompanied the messenger, and, in consultation with Dr. Tomkins, suggested such reme- dies as from their effects gave them reason to hope that bis Lordship would be able partly to resume his official duties. The complaint, however, returned with increased violence during the night of Wednes- day, in consequence of which Dr Ogle was again summoned to Abingdon, and Dr. Turner of London, the Baron's family physician, was also sent for, and such dispatch was used, that Dr. Turner arrived within ten hours and a half after the messenger had left Abingdon. During the whole of Thursday the greatest apprehensions were entertained for his fio^ d- ship's life ; and in the evening the concurrent opinion of the physicians was decisive, that his Lordship would be unable to resume his duties on the present Circuit, notification of which was made to Mr. Baron Vaughan, who immediately dispalched a messenger to communicate the same to the Chancellor— Mr. Baron Hullock still continued to get worse; and about fen o'clock on Friday night his Lordship expired. The Commission of Assize was operied at Worcester on Saturday, where there were upwards of 20 prisoners for trial. To morrow the commission will be opened at Stafford, where there are upwards of 60 prisoners for trial. On Wednesday next, the Commission of Assize will lie opened in Shrewsbury.

Mr. James IJecket... Lancashire Lad, ( Red)..,... 14 19 Thnrsday last, the 30th of July, being the day on which William Sherrington Davenport, Esq. eldest son of the Rev. Edmund Sherrington Davenport, of Worfield House, completed his 21st year, the morning was ushered in by the firing of cannon, ringing of bells, & c. at Worfield. The entrance to Worfield House and also the church gates ( which are exactly opposite) were decorated with favors and flowers At an early hour a very large assemblage of spectators had collected together at Hallon, on the estate of his venerable and much respected relative, to witness the distribution of a very fine ox, which had been previ- ously purchased by the tenantry? slaughtered by Mr. Motineux, ofWykin, for the occasion, and put down to roast in the dawn of the morning. To give a statement of the number of persons would be almost impossible : it was in vain to attempt to get near when the ceremony of carving began, which was neatly and dextrously performed, and the portions divided among the neighbouring poor. Several casks of excellent stingo, exclusive of that brewed for the occasion, were drawn in carts from the Court House and Wheel Inn, and given away to the as- sembled multitude. About one o'clock, many persons of distinction repaired to a large handsome canopy which : had been erected in the grounds adjoining Worfield House, and partook of a cold collation, comprising every delicacy of the season. At three o'clock, a numerous party of tenants, tradesmen, and friends of the family, sat down to a sumptuous dinner, provided by Mr. George, of Worfield Court House, Valentine Vickers, Esq; of Cranmere, presided as President* and Mr. William Stokes, of Shipley, as Vice- President } the Worfield band attending, and playing « Oh, the Roast Beef of Old England !" No sooner was the cloth drawn, than " The King—- God bless him !" was proposed by the Chairman, and drank With the usual honours; " Mr. W. S. Davenport," the young gentleman whose birth- day the company niet to celebrate was next proposed, and drank with lond and repeated cheers.— The worthy Chairman then proposed the health of the Rev. E. S. Davenport, his mueh respected father, on which Mr. Pritchard, of Broseley, rose, and, after apologizing for speaking out of order, in a neat and humourous way, proposed to class with the Rev. Gentleman his amiable Lady :— " The Rev. Edmund Sherrington and Mrs. Daven- port" were then drank with enthusiasm in the room, joined by the reiterated skouts of the assembled peoule without; the health of William Yelverton Davenport* Esq. \ Vas next drank; as also those of The Lord of the Manor, and several other neigh- bouring Gentlemen, followed by many loyal toasts and sentiments which were rapturously applauded, the band playing appropriate catches and glees. At an early hour next morning, each one separated for their respective homes, quoting the language of Byron Fare thee well ; and if for ever, Still for ever fare thee well !" We must not forget to add, that all the children of the charity school, together with the numerous poor widows of the neighbourhood were regaled, at a lopg table laid out in the street, with roast beef, plum pudding, & c. at the expense of the Rev Gent.; and that every old and former servant was generously invited to partake of a sumptuous entertainment pre- viously provided for them in the school room, which wa&' tastefully ornamented for the occasion.

How, Esq 0 10 0 The corn harvest has partially begun in this vicinity; hut the unsettled weather of Monday and yesterday has prevented several farmers commencing who had otherwise intended to have set their reapers to work. The individual, described iii some of the papers as Captain Gordon, and who personates the appearance of a Scotch Piper, was playing his tunes, and acting the very gentlemanly part of collecting the pence of the curious, in the streets of this town, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last; after which he made his exit, and pursued his route for some of the other towns intended to be honoured by this fugacious method, either of raising the wind, or of carrying on a joke, as the case may be'.— On Monday he was at Eilesmere; and yesterday he proceeded to Wrexham. Mr. Bolland is already named as likely to be the new Baron of the Exchequer, in place of Sir John Hullock.— Morning Chronicle. I. ast week a family in Somersetshire suffered excessively, and some are still in a dangerous state, from partaking of fruit which had been left with sugar to dissolve in a copper stew pan the whole night About two o'clock on Friday afternoon the house at the corner of Southampton- street, Strand, occupied by Mr. Sparkes, linen- draper, fell down with a tremendous crash. Fortunately it was discovered in the morning to be in an imminently dangerous state, in consequence of which all the inmates withdrew from it, and as it tottered for some minutes before it fell, the passengers had sufficient notice, and no per sonal injury was suffered, further than being en- veloped in a cloud of dust. It is said, however, that goods to the amount of £ 2000 have been so much injured as to be greatly lessened in value. The expense of rebuilding will fall on the Duke of Bed- ford, the safety of the building having been endan- gered by removing the next house to it, preparatory to the Strand improvements. APPREHENSION OF A COINER— Lately, as the Magnet Post Coach, between Birmingham and Liverpool, was on its way to the latter place, the guard ( James Greaves) had his suspicion excited by the appearance of a female passenger whom they had taken up at Walsall. On arriving at Northwich, in Cheshire, he searched her, and found £ 118. 7s. 6d. in bad coin, on her person Greaves took the money and woman into his possession, and, on arriving at Liverpool, transferred his capture to Mr. Miller, head police- officer of that, town. The money con- sisted of 2( 5 sovereigns, 745 half- crowns, and 863 shillings. THE PORTSMOUTH MURDERS.— At Winchester Assizes, on Thursday last, came on the trial of John Staeev, junior, for the wilful murder of Mr. Samuel I. angtrcy, and bis housekeeper Charity Joliffe, at Portsmouth, on the Ist March last. The particulars of this horrible event, which were published at the time, were clearly proved in evidence at the trial, and the prisoner being found guilty was sentenced to be executed on Monday. The father of the wretched culprit, John Staccy, senior, was then tried as an accessary after the fact, and being convicted, was ordered to be transported for life. His MAJESTY'S NEW WINE COOLER — On Mon- day, the magnificent wine cooler, manufactured for his Majesty by Messrs. Rundle and Bridge, was, with his Majesty's approbation, filled with port negus, at the manufactory in Dean- street, that the workmen employed in its construction might toast his Majesty's health, on the completion of their work. This splendid vase weighs 6950 ounces, and contains 38 gallons. There were used in making the negus 16 gallons of old port, one gallon of brandy, eight gallons of water, eight dozen lemons, six dozen nut- megs, and. 20lbs. of loaf sugar. The vase was mounted on a stage of scarlet cloth ; Mr. Sharpe, the manager of the work, stood by its side, and with a half gallon ladle filled ten dozen of pint mugs, formed for the occasion, with a medallion of his Majesty. The King's health was drank with fervent loyalty, and " God save the King" sang in the same spirit. Success to trade," and other appropriate toasts followed, and were drank with right good will. The ornamental part of the vase is of magnificent design, well suited to the Sovereign of the Sea. The carved work exhibits rocks of every variety of form, with bacchantes and panthers, sporting in a luxuriant vineyard. On the topmost rock is seen England's lion, and the unicorn chained at the opposite end ; the whole encircled by waves. At the base of the rocks are seen a great variety of the most curious shells. The whole presents an object of uncommon splendour.

The Bill by which they were imposed was actually taken nearly through all its stages without opposition ; nor was any opposition at last made to it, hut by the exertions of a few maltsters who, at the last hour, and having then just heard of the penalties and regulations bv which thev were to be annoyed, succeeded in expressing their sentiments by petition: notwithstanding this, however, the Bill passed, and it imposed no less than 106 penalties for offences specified or created by this Act, amounting in the aggregate to £ 13,500.— Besides all the obnoxious restrictions being removed ( see 4 th. page J, tne Deputies of the Maltsters' Association have succeeded in obtaining ( he abolition of 6- 2 of the penalties ; anil we learn that the Association will continue embodied for the future protection of the interests of their trade.— We think that the conduct of the maltsters in this business ought to he an example to other Classes of the public: by similar exertions on the part of various interests of the community, the new system of importation, political economy, and modern phi- losophy, with w hich our Parliament and the country is now blighted, might be blown to atoms : and we trust it shortly will be thus annihilated.

It was formerly considered ail elevation and a mark of. honour to be chosen a Member of the House of Commons. What the character of our representa- tion now is, may be inferred from the following observation, made by the principal evening Minis- terial Paper on Monday last, in announcing O'Con- nell's return for Clare :—" Once a Senator, Daniel O'Connell will sink to his level, and become harm- less." What, a compliment to the Honourable House! Call you this backing your friends? If the House of Commons, in addition to being the hive of jobbers and political economists, is to become also a recep- tacle, into which brawling demagogues are to he received, in order that they may be kept quiet, we shall have a host of noisy aspirants to the pleasure of entering that place, where a little tact may enable them to get at least a sop as the price of their silence.

On Wednesday, a singular and very melancholy incident occurred at Hampton, near Warwick, by which a little girl about three years old, the daughter of a cottager at that place, lost her life. On that day about two o'clock, the child went into the garden with a stick in her hand, and, it is supposed, disturbed with it a hive of bees, for when she was found soon afterwards, a great number of the enraged insects had settled upon her face, mouth, and throat, and had stung her so dreadfully that the poor little sufferer died in consequence the same afternoon.

Observe the Signature of R. G. G. James on the Label. A querulous— indeed, it might be said, on insidious and mischievous— article, has been published in a Ministerial Evening- Paper, charging the Country Bankers with adding to the present difficulties of the country, by refusing accommodation to the public to the desired extent. This article having been copied by other Papers, we are induced to give the follow- ing extracts from a letter written on the subject by " A COUNTRY BANKER :"— " In the years 1814 and 1815, the Country Bankers were acting with confidence upon the healthy and natural system which your Correspondent recom- mends. They borrowed money freely, and they lent it out freely in all quarters where its circulation was required. In 1816, a storm was sent through the country which levelled thousands of their connexions with the ground. A very general and a very great depression of prices took place, arid thousands of the most substantial mercantile houses became insolvent, to whom the Country Bankers had previously lent their money. The Country Bankers stood as guarantee, as it were, between the debtor and cre- ditor interest of the country. They were compelled to make good the engagements of their debtors, out of their own capital, so far as they had ventured to exercise the important function of borrowing from one class of men, and lending to another. The debtors generally, being called upon tti pay out of low priced property, the debts which they had con- tracted in high priced property, became insolvent, from such an unforeseen and ruinous operation, and the Country Bankers became thus exposed to losses on every side, from the lending of money. They therefore continued still to borrow, but they naturally hesitated to lend. " In 1817 and 1818, however, a different state of things was produced, and the Country Bankers, recovering from their losses and injuries, felt them- selves again justified in lending money as well as in borrowing it. In those years, as your readers will well recollect, about seven millions of sovereigns were thrown into circulation by the Government, and, at the same time, a very considerable and permanent increase was effected in the circulation of Bank of England Notes, which were then, virtually, legal tenders. " But in the year 1819 another storm went through the country, which again levelled thousands of the most respectable commercial houses with the ground, and again exposed the Bankers to most serious losses and injuries, arising from the exercise of their func- tion of lending money. In the autumn of 1818 the whole of the sovereigns were sent abroad for the purchase of grain; and at the very same time the Bank of England effected a considerable reduction in the circulation of its notes, in order " to prepare for the then approaching payment in « pecie.' f When the Country Bankers found themselves thus a second time exposed to injury from an unforeseen cause, over which they had no controul, surely your readers can- not blame them for acting upon a more cautious system, and refusing to lend out their money freely, when experience had twice informed them that they could not do so without exposing themselves to serious injury and danger. " During the years 1819, 1820,1821, and 1822, the Country Bankers, therefore, very generally refused to exercise the function of lending money. The mopey was gathered into stagnant masses, as it is now. The regular and wholesome channels of , its circu- lation, into the uses of the country, were obstructed, not by anv defects in the Bankers, or their system, but by legislative enactment, to which both the Bankers and the public were compelled to submit* " But in the years 1822, 1823, and 1824, the Government again changed their system of operation. They coined and issued many millions of sovereigns in addition to the bank notes in circulation, and they legalized the issue of small notes for eleven years to come. After a while, the Country Bankers, thus freely supplied with money, began slowly to recover their confidence j and during the years 1824 and 1825, they again effectually discharged the duty of gathering up the circulating medium from stagnant masses, and lending it out into quarters where its circulation was required. In this way the " pro- sperity" of those years was brought on. The money of the country was supplied every where in sufficient quantities, to establish " remunerating prices" in every branch of industry ; and thus the whole popu- lation of the country were fully and wholesomely employed in respectively producing and consuming the respective productions of each other. " Now, it is fresh in the recollection of all your readers, that in the winter of 1825 the late panic arose, which again a third time levelled thousands of the most substantial mercantile houses with the ground, and again exposed the Bankers to more serious losses and injuries than any which they had previously sustained. The sovereigns were again exported largely during the whole of the year 1825, and your readers will rea. dily recollect that it was made matter of praise of the Bank of England, by the Public Press generally, that the Bank was rigidly and impartially drawing in its notes, in order to meet and counteract the drain for bullion to which it was thus exposed. In this way, the Bankers were again a third time exposed to meet serious losses and injuries, arising from political circumstances, which they could neither foresee, nor guard against. " Now, if this is a just and correct representation of the state of the country, and of the Bankers, for the last fourteen years, which no one can deny, I would ask whether it is just in your Correspondent and yourself, to accuse the Bankers of a slowness and unwillingness to commit themselves a fourth time, to the sure and terrible injuries to which their lending of money freely, under the present state of the laws, must now, a fourth time, shortly expose them ? " On the presentation of the Birmingham petition to Parliament a few weeks ago, Mr. Peel fully acknow- ledged that renewed issues of money would restore the national prosperity, but he very properly added, that, under the pressure of the present standard of value, that prosperity could not possibly end other- wise than in producing another panic like that of 1825! Nothing upon earth can be more certain than this. How then can the Bankers venture to extend their issues of money? The standard of value which we have selected binds us down to a range of general prices below a remunerating level ; and if we attempt to lift up these prices to a proper level by artificial means, the standard instantly presses them down again. It forces them down to a level, under which the taxes, wages, and expenses, to which British pro- ductions of all kinds are exposed, cannot be defrayed. We must take then our choice ; we must either sacri- fice the standard of value to the preservation of the national prosperity or we must sacrifice the national prosperity to the preservation of the standard !! It is of no use to blame the Bankers. They cannot per- form impossibilities. " If we act justly by the debtor interest of the | country, and allow it to pay its debts and taxes in money of a just and equitable value, as all other nations have done, we shall find no difficulty in the payment of such debts and taxes, and we shall have no complaints of the Bankers i encouraging specu- lation' at one period, and refusing all reasonable accommodation at another. " All attempts to improve the banking system of this country are worse than useless— they are posi- tively injurious. Even if it were possible that any thing should be wrong in the present banking system, such attempts cannot, under present circumstances, but have the effect of doing more injury to the pub- lic, by weakening and endangering the present bank- ing establishments, than they can possibly do good by providing new [ joint stock] establishments, whfrh could not, for years yet to come, be equally efficient in exercising the functions which the present estab- lishments still exercise; I mean that the new estab- lishments could get no power to serve the public, which would not be principally drawn from the re- sources which the present establishments now hold; and the withdrawal of those resources from these latter would create much more positive injury to the public than the transferring of them to the former could possibly create good. The present establish- ments have got open to them millions of long known and accustomed channels, which bring them into direct communication with all the elements of agri- culture, manufactures, and trade ; and through those millions of long- accustomed channels they can act directly and instantly in restoring the prosperity of the country, provided the Government, chooses to protect them from injury in so doing. But the new establishments would have to toil for years and years, before they could form, or become acquainted with, equally numerous and equally safe and efficient channels, through which it would be possible for them to act in restoring the national prosperity. The injury to the public, from the weakening and calum- niating the present Banks, would he great, certain, and immediate j whilst the benefit to the public from * he establishment of the new Banks would, at tlffi very most, be trifling, problematical, and very dis- tant. ^ t trust, Sir, that. I have said enough to convince you that no good is to be expected to the public from the continuing of those unjust and impolitic attacks upon the English Baniters But, I will just take the liberty of mentioning one particular instance^ in whit h the injustice of establishing Branch Banks and Joint Stock Banks, without making some compensation to the Country Bankers, will, I think, be sufficiently visible. For more than a htrndred years the Country Bankers have acted under a system of . law, in which neither, Branch Banks nor Joint $ tock Banks were allowed. For the last forty years they have aeted tinder a state of law, under which the paper system has been more or less in active operation, lit . exer- cising the vital function of lending money, which it is so much < he fashion to praise at one period, and to deprecate at, another, they have all of them become possessed of long- fixed and locked- np out- standing debts and engagements, due to them fr ; m the public* which are generally perfectly safe iinder any C rcuni- stances, but which cannot be got in, or recovered payment of, under the present slate of the circulation, without the adoption of legal measures,, which would literally ruin their debtors The debtors of the Bankers, generally speaking, are ajl safe; but they cannot pay their debts to the Bankers in the present state of trade, agriculture, and circulation, without literally being ruined by the operation. " In this state of things, when the Country Bankers are propping the falling, and lifting up the fallen, and saving the strong from injuries, and the weak from ruin-- in this critical state of things, it is, that the long established laws of* the country have been changed, and that Branch Banks and Joint, Stock Banks have been formed, in order to draw away their resources from the Country Bankers, without reliev- ing them from any of the fixed debts and advances in which those resources have been in part locked up, under confidence in Legislative measures !! To me, it appears that this line of conduct is neither just nor politic. Under confidence in Legislative measures, which no one ever expected to be changed, the Bankers have contracted debts and obligations of two kinds. They have contracted debts due from them to the public; and they have contracted debts due from the public to them. From the former the new establishments very kindly relieve them ; but they take care not to relieve them from the latter. The connections of the Bankers who keep creditor balances in their hands are lured away from them by all manner of calumnies and inducements; but the connections of the Bankers who owe them debtor balances are left untouched. The Bankers are left, to deal with them as they please; and, fortunate it has been for the country, that the Bankers have, in most instances, been willing- and able to exercise more forbearance towards the public, in this respect, than either the Government or the public have, in any way, exercised towards them. The Bankers ( speak- ing generally) have oppressed none; they have got in their fixed and outstanding debts slowly and gradually from their debtors; but, warned by losses and injuries three times repeated, they have latterly taken special care that they will not contract new debts. For this policy they are not to he blamed ; they cannot alter it safely Until the Legislature alters the laws under which they are compelled to act. The establishment of Joint Stock Banks, and of Branch Banks, will not relieve the country in the slightest degree; these establishments, indeed, generally confine their accommodations to the mere discounting of the very best bills, which the old Banks are at all times willing to discount. But the new Banks are not in the least more disposed to lend money permanently than their calumniated and injured rivals; they refuse to do so generally, in almost every instance. There is, therefore, no pos- sible benefit which can be expected to the country from the further establishment of Joint Stock Banks ; and I cannot but remark, that in recommending such concerns to public adoption in England, as a remedy for national distress, it would be but fair in the parties so recommending them, first to shew the public that the very same national distress doe3 not exist in Scot- land, where Joint Stock Banks have existed in per- fection for a hundred years!! There would, in this case, be some excuse for the establishment of Joint Stock Banks in England." KNUTSFORD RACSS. TUESDAY, JULY 28.

A curious, although not at all a novel instance of the power possessed by these people, occurred on Monday last, on the occasion of Mr. O'Connell's arrival at Killaloe. Several trees had been cut down, and planted in the streets in that town, to do hononr to the hero. A Magistrate ordered them to be removed, and although sup- ported by the assistance of a considerable military force, the " finest peasantry in all the world" peremptorily refused to obey the voice of legal authority, until duly backed by his Reverence, the Priest!

Ilie gallant Fisher's life, " 11 is 1 lie best of any j " ' l is full of pleasure, void of strife, And is belov'd bv many." JOHN CHALKHILI., 1676. The morning being excessively bright and hot, mid consequently uninviting to the Angler, we amused ourselves under the shade of a Moss House, in repairing the damages and supplying the losses sustained by our fishing apparatus; bearing in mind the proverb—" either be fishing or mending the nets." In the evening we repaired to the Rhyddol, a river which flows into the sea in conjunction with the Ystwyth, at Aberystwyth, after a short course from the bosom of Plinlimmon. We enjoyed some agreeable diversion : Ihe haw- thorn fly the favourite. This fly is called in Welsh " Clu bren- dn that is, blink club : very descriptive of its appearance. We styled it, with the familiarity of addiessuig an old favourite, " the old Clwli." There is also a fly called " Ooch- S- bon- du,' 1 that is, red, with a black root, with which many trout were taken. The latter is a standard fly, and differs only from the English Marlow Buss in having a black body. A few words on angling. In what humour was Lord Byron when he con- ceived this line-— 41 And angling loo, ( hat solitary vice but especially V. hen he remarked—" no Angler can be a good man .'" True, his satire js chiefly directed against those who use live bails ; but he adds gene- rally—" they may talk about the beauties of nature, but the Angler merely thinks of his dish of fish ; he. has no leisure to take his eyes from off the stream " But it is proper to notice, that he has the candour lo admit an observation which was introduced into his MS. hy a friend of bis, to this effect. " One of the best men I ever knew : as humane, delicate minded, generous, and excellent a creature as any in the world was an angler: true, he angled with painted flies; and would have been incapable of the extravagances of Isaac Walton." And Lord Byron himself adds, " audi alteram partem : 1 leave it to counterbalance my own observation." With every becoming deference to the taste and talents of this transcendent Poet, 1 must take the liberty of observing, that his strictures could only have been conceived in ignorance of the art. The remark to the effect, that the Angler has no leisure to enjoy the beauties of nature, is a pretty distinct proof that the . Satirist had never, in his maturity, practised it. That angling with a live bait is open to a charge of cruelty, 1 will- not deny, but stand up f jr him w ho merely uses, as ByrOn's friend designates them, " painted flies." The charge of cruelly or vicious- ness is no more applicable to him, than to the Shot who brings down his partridge in September, the Cook who decapitates a goose at Michaelmas, or the most innocent young damsel who partakes of either. And even with respect to the Angler with a live bait, a distinction is to be drawn between the callous- ness with which he may be charged, and that wanton cruelty which has no spring but diabolical passion, no object but infernal revenge. And, looking around, the Angler is at least as " good a man" as he who, for gold, suffers his horse to be agonized with w hip and spur to reach the destined goal; as « good a man" as he who, in the ch- i. se, urges his steed until he drops like a stone beneath him ; as " good a man" as he who, in the field, looks on while his pointer is lashed until he is only able to crawl for ( he remainder of the day; and as" good" as those who patronize combats between cocks, dogs, anil human beings. And these are all " good" men ! Oil, these are " All, all honourable men !" As to the remark—" the Angler merely thinks of his dish of fish," it may be affirmed of most descrip- tions of sportsmen, that they, least of all, care for the intrinsic value of the prey. So is it with the Angler, w- ho produces his dish of fish with the same pardon- able vanity with which Lord Byron ( the Master Poet of his time) displayed his attractive works : it was only as much as to say— look, admire, partake, and enjoy !— ** Thus had begins, but worse remains behind !" for Johnson depicts the Angler and his apparatus somewhat thus : " a long stick, with a line attached ; a worm or fly at one end, and a fool at the other!" This is the linkindest cut of all!" Yet wherefore? Did Johnson admire any sport ? Nay, it is wonderful that the word found its way into his" DICTIONARY !" Though he was a " RAMULKR," he never rambled with angle in hand : though lie was an " IDLER," he never idled save over his tea. Had he been a Fisherman he would have taught " RASSELAS" the art: for doubtless it was the not knowing angling that made the young Prince so discontented in the otherwise " happy valley.'" What wonder that he who wrote " LONDON," the delight of his Muse, was not greatly attached to winding brooks and flowery meads ? Though he pourtrayed " LIVES" of Fancy's Sons, he did not copy them; and during his " JOUR- NEY TO THE WESTERN ISLANDS," he never once contemplated proving the pleasures of fishing!— Unaccountable want of taste ! But, if Johnson, the inimitable penman, " ( he leviathan of prose," and despiser of stale, with Byron, the man of fashion, and favoured of the Muses, contemned bis art, let the Angler reflect, that Shakespear, the Sun of Poetry, the wonder and glory of every age, with Thomson, Gay, and others, ( Philo- sophers, Poets, and men of genius,) celebrated it. Add to which, that living, talented, and accomplished Royalty, retires from state troubles, to partake the pastime. Whoever has properly practised artificial fly- fishing, truly admires Nature, and regards solitude, has found it a captivating recreation. It is the live- liest, cleanest, and neatest method of taking fish. It necessarily conducts to the most retired and beautiful parts of rivers : for where the current flows swifter, there the picturesque is generally found. Roving from ford to ford, ( for he is never stationary long,) the Fisherman is surprised at every turn with some fresh object for admiration. He is attended by the harmony of Nature. His expectation is continually alive : cxcei> t when, at intervals, he pauses, and casts a peering, delighted glance, at the surrounding land- scape. And even while he anticipates a prey, he communes with himself on the past, and the future charms with all its lively tincts of opening beauty. Then when he has hooked a fine fish, with what transport does he view his golden sides glittering in the pure current! — how does he watch every turn, till at. length the exhausted prey resigns the contest, and Bounce's in the lighter element! Is there then a want of animation ? Can his sport then be considered dull ? Returning from the diversion, he is still in converse with Nature. Is he a florist or a botanist ? Flowers and herbs attract his notice on every side. Is he an entomologist? The air teems with variegated insects. Is ho a lover of ( he Muses ? The distant hills and the fields, sprinkled with herds and flocks, the spark- ling rills, and sounding groves, rccal to memory the descriptive passages of his favourite authors. There arc moments when followers of business, slaves of fashionable life, politicians, philosophers, alike covet rural seclusion. Solitude is profitable to the mind : for temporary abstraction, and self- examination and communion, render a man more fitted for the duties of life. If, then, a person would indulge in retirement, and at the same moment improve or confirm his health, charm and exhilirate his mind, gratify his ear, and delight his eye, let him, in a May morning, take the Angle.

On Friday, a Public Dinner was given to the Members for Newark, at the Town Hall, in that b « rough, William Fillingham, Esq. in the chair. The company, about 200 highly respectable gentle- men, sat down soon after three o'clock. Mr. Wil- loughby ou the right, and Mr. Sadler on the left of the Mayor. On the health of the Members for the Borough being given, with three times three, and one cheer more, Mr. WII. LOUGHBY, as ( he eldest member, first addressed the company. He would briefly give his reason for voting against the Catholic Relief Bill; and first, because the Catholics are members of a vast political body, w ho give allegiance to a foreign power, independent of, and opposed to, the spirit of the British Constitution ; secondly, became tne lead- ers of ( hat body had asserted that they would do every thing to subvert that establishment to which Protestants owed the greatest obligations, and from wli eb they derived every Christian consolation; and, thirdly, because Popery was a system of slavery totally inconsistent with that freedom for which our forefathers shed their blood. He would only advert to the condition of trade and agriculture, and felt convinced that no good could result until the bill was put an end to which Mr. Huskisson had brought for- ward, and which was still persevered in by the pre- sent President of the Board of Trade. Mr. SADLER rose and spoke as follows:—* Mr, Mayor and Gentlemen.— I rise to return you iny most cordial thanks for the high honour you have just done me, in drinking my health, in con- junction with my honourable colleague, and especially for the distinction you have conferred upon me, by inviting me to meet you upon this occasion. I am sure I shall be believed, when I assert, that I labour at this moment under feelings, w hich it is impossible for me adequately to express. This is, indeed, the proudest moment of my life. Ou a recent occasion, when you did me the honour of returning me lo parliament, after a protracted contest, by a large and triumphant majority, I fell most deeply sensible of the distinction ; but now, when associated with my honourable friend, 1 am experiencing this public mark of your kind appro- bation, 1 feel the suffrages with which you have lately honoured nie more than renewed, they are repeated with the gratifying addition of your public approval of our general conduct, and especially on one of the most momentous occasions which ever occurred in the parliamentary history ofthe country. Gentlemen, perhaps as the more recently chosen representative of this town, 1 may be indulged in a somewhat longer explanation of my principles and view s, khan would l. e necessary, had 1 been as long known to you as my highly valued colleague, whose character and concuct I have found, during my present visit to this place, to be . so justly admired and deservedly appreciated. My object, however, iu coming among yon on this occasion, was so different from that of obtaining the flattering atten- tion iu which I am now sharing— namely, the returning my cordial thanks for the past favours conferred upon me, rather than receiving, as I am now- doing, additional ones:— and 1 have been so incessantly occupied since I have arrived, iu seeing my friends and making my acknowledgments to eviry individual who has honoured me with his support, that I confess, my mind has been wholly w ithdraw n from those topics to which, if I speak at all oil this occasion, you will naturally expect me to advert. I am consequently totally unprepared to address you on this occasion. While, therefore, 1 take up a few minutes of your time, I must throw myself upon that candour which I have previously so largely experienced at your hands. The first topic to which I must naturally advert, is, that great, and I fear fatal measure, which has been carried into effect since I had the honour of last meeting you in public.— You conjured me w hen I solicited and obtained your suffrages, to resist that measure to the utmost of my power; and 1 have, as far as my ability enabled me, obeyed the injunction. Armed with the authority of your all but unanimous opinion, I have, in conjunction with my honourable colleague, attempted to uphold the Protestant character of our institutions; the most sacred part of that constitution, which luis been raised by the noblest exertion, and cemented by the best blood of Englishmen: that constitution which has contributed to the peace and prosperity, and has constituted the glory of the empire. To have been amongst the number of its faithful, though ineffectual defenders, has afforded us a melancholy gratification which we would not exchange for ail the honours or all the emoluments whjeh might hove awaited an opposite course: a gratification which we shall cherish lo the last moment of our existence. And, gentlemen, I objected to the passing of that iniquitous measure, not only in reference to the Protestant institutions of England, but in regard to the permanent interests of the people of Ireland, whom it was falsely represented as mainly calcu. lated to serve. The measure called the Relief Bill, has been a base compromise, by which the long exercised and highly valued rights of the little freeholders of Ireland, of every class and description, were sacrificed iu behalf of the Catho- lic aristocracy. Relief Bill! why it relieved the mass of the Catholic population on the same princi pie that it is alleged Bonaparte relieved his sick at Jaffa, by putting them, politically speaking, out of existence. Seven Roma n Catholic peers were lo be admitted into parliament; hundreds of thou- sands of Catholic freeholders had, therefore, to be disfranchised. And this forsooth was called, settling- the question ! What would be thought of a measure, whatever were its pretended; objects, which should deprive nine- tenths, of the voters of Newark,— nine- tenths of the freeholders of Eng- land,— of their franchise ? Nor does the evil per- petrated rest here. Regarding Ireland, with such a race of landlords as are too common in that country, to deprive the peasant of his political existence, is to deprive him of the means of pre- serving his natural one. No longer possessed of those voters for which alone they were deemed of any value to the community, the political calcu- lators w ill dispossess them of their little farms— and with a view to their pecuniary interests lay house to house and field to field, till there is no place for them, in a country without any refuge for the poor and the destitute, and where they must therefore either starve in their own country, or fly to the affliction and distress, and in many instances, the destruction, that awaits them, in this: by this fatal act, therefore, Even now the devastation is begun, And half the business of destruction done. I thank God, and your suffrages, which enabled me to do it, that 1 joined with my highly valued colleague in resisting. such a measure. In so doing, 1 believe we gratified the real wishes of our sovereign— 1 am sure we best attended to the recommendation in his gracious speech, to take into consideration the whole condition of Ireland. Hence the emancipation I demanded on her behalf was an emancipation from ignorance, superstition, and op- pression : the promotion of industry, the develope- ment and reward of labour, the extension of know- ledge, and above all the relief of indigence and dis- tress, by a moderated system of national charity, which, conceding those rights of humanity which God and nature equally accord to all, would have promoted the prosperity and advanced the character of the country, would have consecrated a temple of mercy, and opened its sacred portals to the afflicted and destitute of that unhappy community Then might that beautiful, that abused island, like our ow. i, have exclaimed in the glowing language of an early poet, Safe in the love of heaven an ocean flows Around ourjealm, a bariier from the foes • ' Tis oinK ihe sous of sorrow to relieve, Cheer the sad heart, nor let affliction grieve, Bv Jove ihe stranger and the poor are sent, And what to these up yive, to Jove is lent. Such, then, were the objec's I had at least regard- ing Ireland, and which had engaged my best endea- vours long before I dwelt upon them in parliament,; and with those who contemplate in their notions of emancipation, the benefit of the few at the expense of degrading and deserting the mass,, thank God, neither in the feelings of my heart, or the dictates of my understandings have 1 any thing in common. Their measure, however, has triumphed ; and have its results, corresponded with those so confidently predicted by its authors and abettors? those predic- tion, s ' nave neither " kept the word of promise to the , ear nor to the sense " Like the lying prophets of old, our political soothsayers have indeed cried Peace, Peace— but there is no peace! The only effect hitherto has been still further to fan those animosities which have been unhappily so long tolerated, and to increase that insubordination and bloodshed, which has disgraced more the government than the people of Ireland. But to dismiss this revolting, this portentous sub- ject : there are other points of national policy on which, it will be perceived by those who may have done me the honour to attend to my parliamentary conduct, that I have the misfortune to differ with the dominant opinions. To dwell upon those, however, were neither befitting the time or the occasion; especially as they would necessarily lead me out into those topics which would fatigue your attention and interrupt the hilarity of the meeting; and inflict a punishment therefore upon you in return for that compliment which I wish now to acknowledge. The condition of the country, and especially of its indus- trious classes, is deplorable; and those who put forth I their paragraphs about its prosperity, are insulting the misery which exists so universally. A few may still prosper. The summits of society may appear bright, and exhibit their wonted splendours, but if the sun of British prosperity be declining, the ray which gilds them will speedily fade away, and leave even them in total darkness. The structure of national prosperity cannot be secure while its founda- tions are gradually sinking from beneath us. Its remaining tokens are but like the gay and luxuriant vegetation which hides the trembling surface of some insidious quagmire, while all beneath is fccu'ence and decay. Every branch of national industry is grievously affected. Agriculture languishes; thou- sands of British farmers have already lost their capital, are sinking into poverty and distress, and are heart- broken at the prospect that awaits them ; hun- dreds of thousands of labourers are reduced to pau- perism, and no longer taste of those generous viands with which their toils have this day spread our festive board. Trade, manufactures, commerce, though pursued with persevering industry and adequate capital, are no longer profitable; while the opera- tives, Ihe working classes, know that their labour is diminishing in its demand, and lessening in its value. Their, condition I will not harrow up your feelings by describing. No rank but that of the mere jobber, V e broker, the monied capitalist, is prospering, and their prosperity is erected on the depression of the rest of the community. What is the cause of this state of distress ? a state which returns at lessening intervals, and which, at every repeated visitation, inflicts on the country increasing and longer conti- nued sufferings? Various have been the causes to which these distresses have been attributed : I will conscious had I done so, that I could not have re- ' placed the happiness and restored the prospects which from personal and selfish motives 1 should then have nterrupted. My situation has brought me acquainted with some individuals long connected with this borough of the most honourable and patriotic character; and while 1 have your suffrages I like- wise rejoice in their approbation It is true that on a late occasion I was not unani- mously supported ; hut the opposition was so far gratifying- that it united the true friends of the con- stitution in my cause, and made our triumph the more complete— that constitution which has been ever so deeply venerated, so warmly advocated by this most respectable town. The opposition in its results gave an additional triumph to that cause, and manifested its strength. Your principles had only to be appealed to, and your exertions rose with the occasion. Like that noble stream which washes the foot of your ancient castle, which, while unimpeded, Hows 011 majestic and serene ; but interrupt its course by some artificial barrier, and its waters swell and accumulate till they at length rise victorious, surmount and hear down every obstacle, and by a bolder wave and a broader expanse, proclaim their triumph in every direction. Gentlemen, I will no longer detain you. I most cordially thank you for the high honour you have done me, a sense of which, I am sure will remain with me till the last moment of my life, and will, I hope, be manifested by me on every possible occasion. THE BSA1. T TRADE. We have much pleasure in confirming what we intimated in a former Journal, that the obnoxious clauses in the late Malt Bill are to be repealed, the Government having announced their entire concur rence in the measures agreed upon at the late conference between the Committee of Maltsters and the Excise.— The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, reserves the power of again reverting to the old law, in the event of the new arrangements being found liable to fraud. The following are the alterations proposed to be tiladc in the regulations now in operation :— That the keeping of the barley- book, and express lng the quantity of corn in the notice for wetting, be abolished ; in lieu thereof a book or paper be kept, in which the maltster shall enter the number of bushels put iu to steep, within three hours after he shall have finished wetting, with the allowance of 5 per cent, for variations, as at present. The amount of penalty for breaches of this regulation to not now enumerate them ; at present, however, they be modified, are charged upon the country, or rather upon Pro- That maltsters who w ish to sprinkle their corn on valence i'sclf It is said they are owing . to causes . the floor before the expiration of 1- 2 days, may, on over which government has no control;!:— that I giving notice of their intention, sprinkle it at the government, always ready enough to claim the merit expiration of eight days, provided the corn have of national prosperity when it is enjoyed; but still b; ei kept covered with water in the cistern 50 more anxious to throw the. sufferings of the country i hours, and there be no other corn on the floor, upon Providence or the people when general distress , which has not been kept so long covered with water is experienced.

But " why mourns tiie Muse for England ?" England, which, beyond all other nations upon earth, has all the elements of national prosperity within itself, heightened and enhanced by every thing which can give those elements their utmost value, and invest them with perpetuity. A country of unexampled fertility, capable of sustaining, by its own means, and in plenty and prosperity, many millions more than it now almost starves; with riches beneath its surface, of incalculable value: possessing a mine of inexhaustible wealth around her shores, with territories all but boundless in extent, which, spreading like a zone round the habitable globe, pour into her lap the products of all climes, and open a communication with every country upon earth; favoured beyond all other nations iu climate ; fortu- nate in position; and above ail, possessing a popula- tion unrivalled in industry, in enterprise, in character, and in capital;— and having enjoyed all these advan- tages during a long and uninterrupted peace. What, I would ask the statesman, are the causes which are shaking the very foundations of our national pro- sperity, which are inflicting misery on the great mass of the population ? This is the fearful political enigma, which it behoves the government of this country to attempt to solve; and which must be solved speedily to the better salisfaction of every class of the community, or a state of things still more fearful may be apprehended. When to physical force the impetus of hunger is superadded, it requires little foresight to prognosticate the result. Gentlemen, I repeat, that I think the distresses under which the nation is now labouring are remediable ;— remediable, not bv the adoption of some new theory; by the application of some un- tried experiments; by the exhibition of some mere political panacea ; but by returning to so much of that sound and genuine policy of our more humane, if not wiser fore- fathers, as the altered circum- stances of the country may render practicable.— By fostering and encouraging internal industry, whether agricultural, manufacturing, or commer- cial; by restoring a full and yel healthy circulation, objects of identical instead of incompatible pursuit, whatever some may write and talk to the contrary ; by pursuing a system of rigid economy ; by better encouraging, and more adequately remunerating British labour in all its essential branches. Sup porting in their just rights and essential interests every rank of society, and above all, the labouring classes of the community, whose property is the foundation of that of all others. These are the means, simple and obvious, though rejected by in- veterate selfishness, and ridiculed by theoretic folly, which would, and in no long time, revive and perpetuate the prosperity of the country. The detail of these propositions I shall not now enter upon. When I retire from this most gratifying visit, it will be lo that privacy where I purpose pursue the subject in which I have been long anxiously engaged, and which I trust ere long to submit to the British public. England wants nothing but the principles of common sei se and of common benevolence applied to the management of her affairs, to reslore her to present, and I may add, perpetual prosperity. Then ( if in this hour of festivity I may be allowed to indulge in mv imagination) I can contemplate the genius of our country reposing on some lofty height, beneath the shade of his primeval oaks, and surrounded by the trophies of his triumphs, resting in peace after his heroic achievements, and casting his gratified gaze on the wide- spread prospect before him ; eyeing the progress of cultivation, the triumphs of the plough share and the pruning hook, in a country overflowing with plenty, and echoing the civ erful voice of contented labour. Then would lie see our populous cities and crowded marls swarming with a busy population; while along the circling shores of the country, and in every port, those that go down lo the sea in ships, and occupy business in the mighty waters, would resume their heroic calling : then not a wave could break on our cliffs, but would bear some accession to our national wealth ; not a wind, from whatever quarter of the globe, could blow, but would waft some tribute to our s'. ores. Then in a long and unbroken reign of p ace, should knowledge still extend its humanising sway, genius renew its triumphs, and religion elevaie the character of the country. Then should our national prosperity " stretch out, even to the crack of doom," and the march of British greatness and glory extend to the utmost verge of time, and terminate only on the threshold of eternity. These, gentlemen, are not the dreams of enthu- siasm— they are the anticipations of true philosophy, as propounded by the ablest writers that have ever existed. Nothing can delay their accomplishment, but the misgovernment of this great country, and the mismanagement of its mighty means. But I will no longer intrude upon your attention, which I am sure 1 have already fatigued. I cannot, however, gentlemen, sit down without again return- ing you my most grateful thanks for the honour you have this day done me, as well as for the distinguished mark of your confidence in having chosen me one of your representatives. The means by which that triumph was obtained are su," h as I can reflect upon with unmingled pleasure ; I attempted to excite no angry passions against your best friends ; to appeal to no unworthy motives; I sought not to represent gratitude a political crime, or to disrupt those kindly- feelings, those mutual connexions which constitute the frame of society, and by which its harmonious movements are secured ; for I should have been well of the corn in the cistern and couch, be reduced to per cent. That when couches are thrown out by the officers for the purpose of ascertaining whether they have been compressed, the allowance of 5 per cent, be increased after the first 12 hours to 6J per cent. That corn be considered as a couch, until the expiration of 30 hours after it has been thrown out of the cistern ; but that no . charge be made from a guage taken after the expiration of 26 hours, if a previous guage of the same corn have been taken by the supervisor or officer. That the clause requiring monthly entries to be made, be repealed. That the relaxations allowed by the Treasury, and not hereby altered, be made law. That see. 43 of the act, which provides for lock- ng up corn from the kiln, be retained, if necessary, for checking of fraud, but not by way of making a charge. The allowance in that case to be 20 per cent. on pale, and 30 per cent, on blown malt. A slight alteration in the wording of sec. 37, by changing " so that the sides or outer edges shall be n straight lines" into " so tbat they may be con- veniently guaged." And in the 7th section, by omitting the words, " At the time of taking such account," in the parenthesis, last line, page 444 of the printed copy of the act. SCENES AT CHELTENHAM RACES. [ From the Cheltenham Chronicle.'] FLOORING THE PICKPOCKETS.— On Thursday, as Mr. Henry Gwinnell was walking over the race- course with a friend, a pickpocket made a snatch at his watch and a handsome bunch of seals, but as he fortunately wore a guard chain, it gave him timely notice to protect his property, which he immediately did by knocking down the assailant. He had no sooner inflicted this salutary punishment than he was surrounded by a number of sharpers and gamblers, ( friends of the delinquent,) who made a rush at him to avenge the fall of their companion ; but they little knew the muscular power of the man with whom they had to contend, nor had any good- natured friend informed them that Mr. G.' s pugilistic science had in former days distinguished him by the name of the " Cheltenham Champion." Thus at bay with his foes, and driven to a desperate defence, our athletic townsman struck out right and left, and in a few minutes floored no less than five of the enemy's force, to the great amusement of the byestanders, and the absolute astonishment of the parties principally con- cerned, who, finding they had encountered an awk- ward customer, sounded a speedy retreat, bearing on their honest and honourable countenances the san- guinary marks of recent warfare.— Not satisfied, however, with the result of the combat, seven of these worthies waylaid and attacked Mr. G. on his return to the town, but they found " his soul in arms and eager for the fray," for he actually floored the whole of them, and left a second edition of the fistic me- moranda which he had previously commenced. THE GAMBLERS.— Some idea may be formed of ' the extent to w hich the vice of gaming is carried on by the hordes of black legs who infest the various towns where races are held, by the fact ( which we have from respectable authority) that one gentleman lost eleven hundred and forty pounds in one of the temporary hells established in the very centre of the Higii- street. Several other sums of magnitude were lost, and as trade was brisk aud the gang not large enough to attend tout a la foi.< to the different depots of infamy which they had opened, they actually hired two young men in the town, at ten shillings per night, to play the profitable game of decoy ducks, for the purpose of ensnaring the unwary by the temptin: appearance of their success. After levying pretty- handsome contributions on the purses of their cre- dulous victims, one part of the gang confided £ 3( 30 in gold to the care of a servant, who had been in ( heir employ for fourteen years. The temptation however, proved too great for the honesty of this trusty follower, and taking example by the rapacity of his masters, he decamped during the night with the above produce of their industry ; and although every enquiry has been made at the usual haunts, and an active pursuit commenced, no tidings have yet been heard of the fugitive. JBseceUaneous Intelligent?. BASE COIN.— It appears that so numerous are the offences for uttering base coin, that it was with difficulty Mr. Po. veil, solicitor to the Mint, could get from one part of the kingdom in time to be present at a trial in another part, Sir. Powell re- lated to the grand jury at the Essex sessions, the circumstance of bis father's having been for a con- siderable time at Birmingham, where he had dis- covered a nest of coiners to an incalculable number, and who proved to belong to a family whose pedi- gree for several generations was tainted with the like crime. A female utterer of forged Bank of England notes bad also been found at Birmingham, whose profits from the traffic, had she received the purported value of notes, are calculated at not less than £ 200,000. In all these discoveries, the original manufacturer, it is to be regretted, con- tinues to evade detection. We understand that in sinking a shaft for coal on Sir John Hape's property, near Musse; burgh, the stem of a hirge tree has been exposed, a foot and a half in diameter. It is, properly speaking, a east or impression, retaining the outward form of the tree quite perfectly ; but the woody substance h is been replaced by sand- stone. It is standing perpendicu- larly, and the part already exposed is several yards in height.— Scotsman. ECCLESIASTICAL ANTIQUITIES Among the curious relics of antiquity recently discovered in the tomb of St. Cuthbert, at Durham, are part of the pontifical vestments of a bishop, consisting of a maniple and stole, in a high state of preservation. These interesting remains having been by the permission of the dean and chapter, forwarded to London, are now in the Tower, consigned to the rare of that able antiquary, Mr. Petre, under whose superintendence a set of drawings, forming perfect fac- smiles of the originals, are now in the course of execution, at the expense of the Antiquarian Society. The gold lace, which appears to be constructed of fine gold wire, partially flattened, and without any admixture of silk thread, retains its metallic colour and brilliancy almost as freshly as when it was first put on, 900 years ago ; nor is the ground- work on which it is laid iu a greater state of decay. By an inscription in embroidery, perfectly legible to the most inexperienced eye, these robes appear to have been the gift of rifled to Frithstan— a circumstance which at once fixes their date, beyond all dispute, to the earlier part of the 10th century. In the whole catalogue of English bishops there is but one Frithstan, or Frithestan, who, according to all the most received authorities, succeeded Denewulph iu the see of Winchester, A. D. 909, being one of the seven prelates simultaneously consecrated by Plegmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, in pursuance of the mandate issued by King Edward the elder ( son and successor of the illustrious Alfred), as the condition of removing the papal interdict under which the kingdom had been placed, in consequence of a previous neglect in filling up certain bishopries. With respect to the lady who bestowed them on him, and by whose fair hands they were perhaps embroidered, we cannot arrive at the same degree of certainty, inasmuch as there were no less than three illustrious ladies of Ihe name of rifled in existence, during the period above mentioned. Of these, one was daughter to King Alfred, a second stood towards him iu the relation of daughter- in- law, and the third was his grand daughter The first has obtained a distinguished name in fie chronicle of our Saxon ancestors, as one of the most stirring, valorous, and wise princesses, in our island's history. She married Ethelbert, Earl of Mercia, whom she survived ; aud afterwards rendered the most material service to her brother Edward, both in Ihe field and cabinet, towards the subjugation of his Danish enemies. The third became a nun in the Abbey at Winchester; aud she it was, in all probability ( judging, however, f.- om tbat circumstance alone, in the absence of all other testimony) who made this handsome present to her diocesan. Among the figures worked in the embroidery, are those of Sextus, Gregory, St. Lawrence the deacon, & c. with several other saints aud popes, which afford a very pleasing- illustration of the costume of the period, and the then state of the art of embroidery. The drawings are going on w ith great care and accuracy ; and we do not doubt but that the engravings hereafter to be taken from them w ill be executed in such a manner as to be equally creditable to the artists and patrons.— Literary Gazette. REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.— A curious cir- cumstance occurred on Saturday. Whilst the workmen of Mv. Kingley, turner, of Long lane, West Smithfield, were employed in cross- cutting an elm tree, six feet in circumference, one of the men perceived some blood follow the track of the saw, w hen they had got about half way through it. Not being able to account for so singular an occur- rence, they hesitated some time before they pro eeeded to work again. On again placing the saw- in the same cut, they resumed their labour, the blood flowing as before ; when, on cutting through the tree, they found an enormous toad imbedded in the heart of the solid wood. It was quite dead, the saw having traversed its body. How the reptile obtained ingress to this place of solitary and close confinement, or how it existed therein without food or air, we leave for naturalists to determine, as not tile smallest aperture appeared in the timber through which it could have crept. DUNFERMLINE— The following extraordinary circumstance happened here lately :— A young man, having been out shooting with a double- barrel gun, went into the house of an acquaintance, on his way home, and left the piece in the kitchen, one of the barrels being loaded. The good man of ihe house came in about half an hour after, and, perceiving the gun, and not thinking it was loaded, presented it lo one of his own children, saying, in sport, " I'll shoot you." The young creature, affrighted, ran behind its mother, when the father provi- dentially drew the trigger of the unloaded barrel, and of course no mischief happened. He again presented the gun at a cage and bird hanging in the roof, and said, " now for the bird,"— drew the other trigger, when in a moment cage and bird were literally blown to atoms.— Fife Herald. Gower House, in Ihe Stable- yard, intended as the residence of the late Duke of York, is now com- pleted, and is fast filling with splendid furniture, magnificent pictures, and costly china ornaments. When the decorations are finished it will probably be the most magnificent mansion in the metropolis, Grosvenor House, Apsley House, and the house of Earl Dudley, in Park lane, not excepted. A Lyons Journal says—" A person inhabiting the commune of Collonge- sur- Saoue died about three months siuce ; his son- in- law, heir to the deceased, on examining a chest where he was' accustomed to keep his money, not expecting to find more than a few thousand francs, drew from it several large athern bags full of louis d'or, and 30 ingots of gold of considerable weight. The value of the whole amounts to at least 800,000 francs ; and what renders the affair more singular is, that all the pieces are anterior to the reign of Louis XV. GUN BARRELS— We are informed that the very dangerous practice of sweating gun barrels is ex- tending in this town and the metropolis. It is desirable that every means be taken to prevent the getting up of barrels, which, from their extreme lightness, cannot be safe. The usual plan adopted is as follows :— Barrels of the usual thickness are sent to the proof house, and being found " safe" are duly marked; they then are reduced by filing, & c. ( with a view of diminishing their weight) until t iey ai e no longer safe ; the proof marks, however, are not filed off, and the insecure and unsafe barrel retains the marks which by right belong only to those of a different description. Unless the vigilance of the Proof- Wardens can otherwise" provide against this growing evil, recourse must be had to Parlia- ment for power to render its commission penal.— Birmingham Journal. The Roman pavements which were discovered at Pitney, near Somerton, and partially examined, last autumn, are now fully explored. The principal apartment of the Villa is 30 feet in length and 20 fret in breadth ; the floor is fine mosaic, Whereon are represented many figures of various attitudes, and in diffevetil dresses, some of which are of youth- ful appearance, and, from the wings ou their s' oulders, seem to have been designed to represent G^ itii. la a similar room adjoining this is a figure of Hercules killing the Hydra. Other rooms, with the tesserte worked into geometrical figutes, are also discovered. These specimens of mosaic are considered by Sir Richard Colt Hoare and other experienced antiquaries to be the most curious and interesting hitherto found in this country. On Thursday se'nnight, during the severe thun- der- storm, accompanied with vivid lightning, a beautiful antique box, composed entirely of agate stones mounted in silver, belonging to a distin- guished lady of fashion in this city, was forced open by Ihe electric fluid as it lay upon the table, and a singular crackling noise was heard at the same moment. But the most surprising circumstance is, that the colour of every stone is entirely changed, each being now marked with large spots in vivid blue, red, and green,— Bath Herald. EXTRAORDINARY WAGERS.— Wagers have been laid at Maestricht, between some respectable mer- chants there, to a considerable amount, that pigeons taken from thence to London would, when let loose there, reach Maestricht in six hours. Forty- two pigeons were brought over in the Attwood, steam- packet, on Thursday last, about noon; and were marked in the course of that day by a person con- nected with the Dutch embassy here, and yesterday morning, at twenty- six minutes past eight o'clock, the time agreed upon, they were let loose, and proceeded on their aerial voyage. The principal wager is for 10,000 guilders; and if any one of these pigeons arrives in six hours the wager is won. The distance is about 260 English miles, in a direct line over Ramsgate and Ostend. The result cannot be known until next week.— Times. EGYPT.— This fertile country yields, to every grain sown, 50 grains of corn, 15 grains of barley; 8 to ten of maize, and 24 grains of rice. Its other agricultural productions are, linseed, beans, peasj lupins, and flax, which give abundant crops. One moiety of its produce of wheat, beans, and peas- one third of that of maize— and two thirds of its produce of flax and rice, are left over from its domestic consumption, for the purposes of export- ation. Of cotton— the better species of which resembles the best kind of Brazilian— more than 200,000 cwt. have been brought to market in one year ; though the cultivation of this article has not been pursued above seven years. The sugar- cane is grown in Upper Egypt, and produces between 40,000 aud 50,000 ewt. one half of which circulates as merchandise, in a raw state. Were this article treated with proper skill and attention, it might not only be cultivated with much profit and to an immense extent, but would be found, from its intrinsic excellence, far superior to any West India produce for the refiner's use. The raising of indigo has been attempted, on a eonsiderable scale, and with great success, of late years; and of this product 60,000 oka, or 135,000 pounds have been sold, from one twelvemonth's growth. The finest of the three qualities which are raised is esteemed quite equal to the best East India indigo. Some Christian settlers from Syria have begun the cultivation of silk ; but nothing certain is yet known as to its fitness for the purpose of exportation. Nature has endowed this country with a lavish hand— whether we look at its capabilities for vegetable or animal productions; and Mengin has calculated, that if it enjoyed the advantage of a mild and intelligent government, it might, indepen- dently of a considerable export- trade, be rendered capable of maintaining a population of 8,000,000 of human beings: whereas, under the iron grasp of its present ruler, it does not support above 2,500,000, including 3000 Jews, and 170,000 Christians of various persuasions; but exclusive of fifty tribes of Arabs, whore numbers amount to 120,000, or thereabouts, disp rsed in villages, or following a notnadelife. The same writer estimates the annual revenue at £ 2,000,000— one half of which is derived from the miri, or land- tax— the regular force, trained after the European fashion, at 10,000 infantry, yOOO cavalry, and 12( 10 artillery — and the irregular, at 36,000 infantry, and 6000 men mounted on horses and dromedaries.— Literary Gazette. EARI, or STAMFORD — This hospitable nobleman arrived at his seat, Dunham- park, from his seat in Staffordshire, at six o'clock yesterday evening ; on whiih occasion a barrel of beer, containing 600 gallons, was tapped to welcome his arrival.— Man- chester paper of Saturday. EXPENSE OF HUNTING ESTABLISHMENTS.— During a part of the year, when the Duke of Rutland keeps open house at Belvoir Castle, £ 2000 per week have been known to be expended among the farmers, artisans, innkeepers, and labourers— the resident population of the Belvoir Vale; and there can be but little doubt, without glancing at the amount of income generally spent in this country by the different hunting establishments of the whole kingdom, but that from £ 80,000 to £ 100,000 per annum, is expended in the county of Dorset alone, from the contingent and happy effect of the ex* istence of the several packs of hounds. At a late Hampshire County Se- sions, an ^ appeal case occupied the Court several hours, the result of which ought to be exteusivelv known. It was insti- tuted by the Rev. Henry Wake, Rector of Over Wallop, against the accounts of the overseers of that parish, who had been in the habit of eking out the poor labourers' wages by allowance from the poor rates. One of the witnesses examined was a mail with a wife and five children, who in the summer received 10s. in the winter 9s. and sometimes 10s. a week. He could not subsist on this ; and by going to the overseers they made it up 12s. 6d. This practice was so commonly understood by the farmers, that they made engagements with their labourers accord ingly, and the men were often induced to accept almost any wages from those who hired them. The Noble Chairman ( the Earl of Carnarvon) said, the payment of a portion of labourers' wages out of the poor rates was illegal, and should be disallowed; that it was alike unjust in principle and practice, and pressed heavily on the small farmer, on the shop- keeper, and on other persons in the parish who con- tributed a larger proportion towards the poor rates than the more extensive occupiers of land. The overseers were accordingly directed to refund £ 25 to the Rev. H. Wake, and discontinue the practice. The crop of apples this year will equal and perhaps exceed any within the last thirty years. In all the orchards around and below Taunton, & c. the branches are so loaded as to require propping. The crop of walnuts is also prodigiously great. We are informed tbat a gol d mine has recently been discoverd in Davidson county, containing a vein of the precious metal eighty feet in width. This is the largest vein ever heard of in this or any other country. They generally vary iu width from two to five feet.— American Paper. We are desired by the Stewards of the Liverpool Races to state, that the case of Velocipede starting for the stand cup has been referred to the Stewards of the Jot key Club, and that their opinion is, thut Velocipede did not go up with the other horses to the starting post— he is not considered to have started, and all bets made concerning that horse, are not play or pay bets.— Gore's Advertiser. THE SINKING FUNIJ.— The commissioners for the reduction of the national debt will on each transfer day at the Bank of England, during the current quarter, and which expires on Ihe 10th of October, invest in aid of the sinking fund the sum of £ 12,371, which in the quarter will amount lo £ 668,055. 8s. 4d. The amount invested in the previous quarter was only £ 636,460. 12s. being at the rate of £ 14,801 daily. It will be observed, that the daily purchases last quarter were larger than during the present, and t'rat notwithstanding the total amount to he purchased this quarter, will exceed that invested iu the past quarter.
