Of this rase, which is of considerable importance to the city nf ( heater, but w hich, although it occupied tl e attention of Ihe Court from 9 o'clock on Friday morning until 12 o'clor k that night, was most dry and uninvitipg iu its detail, wc shall endeavour to give our readers a correct outline, without burdening them or our columns by a recital of the heads of the almost illegible documents produced. It appeared that tbe present plaintiff, Mr. John Swarhrick Rogers, having' exercised tbe office of Mayor of the city of Chester, an information in the nature of a Quo Wuirbi. tc was filed against him in the Court of Great Session of the " County Palatine of Chester, by the present defendants, Mr. Edward PriUbnril, Mr. John Wood, and John Lloyd, Esq. charging him with having illegally usurped 1 hat niM't— Mr. Rogers denied the jurisdiction of the Court of Great > essit.' n in - his case, and applied to the Court of King's Bench, Westminster, out of which a, w rit in the nature of a prohibition was issued against the present defendants, uu which the present cause Was brought to trial. Tbe question now at issue, therefore, w as, whether, as pleaded by the plaintiff, the City of Chester was a County w it bin itself, holding its own Courts, with an originat'criminal jurisdictioh over which the, Court of Gnat Session of the County Palatine bad uo controttl, and frctn which the'only place of reference was tlie superior Courts of Westminster and the House of lords; or whether, as pleaded by the defendants, the City of Chester, though, by the Charter of Henry the Seventh, it was to a certain extent made a county of itself, still formed a pail of the County Palatine, and as to which the Court of Great Session of the County Palatine had originr. 1 jurisdiction by informa- tion over Criminal offences committed in tbe City. In support of . the ease on each side a mass, of docu- mentary evidence was produced, commencing in tbe reign of Edward 1. and which recited Charters of tbe Norman era, and. this species of evidence was con- tinued down to tbe reign of George II. Viva * life testimony was then also adduced by each party, as to tlie recent practice of the Court of Great Session of the County Palatine and ( be City Courts. When we state that Mr. Taunton, Mr. Tyrwhitt, sen. ( Recorder of Chester), and Mr. Tyrwhitt, jun. were the Counsel, and Mr. Finchett- Maddock, the a torney, for the plailitiff, and that Mr Campbell and Mr. Jervis were the Counsel, and Mr. Faulkner, the attorney, for the defendants, we need not add, that tbe . legal battle was fought inch by inch, and con- dueled with great ability, on both sides. The prepottderar. ee of evidence was, however, un- questionably, against the plaintiff, and the Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict for the defendants. DOE DEM. MAYOR, & c. OF CARNARVON, against POWELL Ik OTHERS. This was an action of ejectment brought to obtain possession of the Custom House, at Carnarvon. The real defendant in the action was Lord New- borough, who holds tbe Custom House, & c. at Car narvon, from the Corporation, of that town, at a ground- rent of 10s. per annum, and which premises lie re- lets at a rent of £ 65 per annum. These two facts were duly proved by the plaintiffs. On the part of the plaintiffs also, Mr David Wil- liams, attorney, was called, who stated, that lie went, ill company with Mr. William Lloyd Roberts, one of the Bailiffs of Carnarvon, to Glynllifon, tbe seat of Lord New borough ; that they saw his Lordship, and Mr. Roberts asked his Lordship, if'he meant to give up the Custom House to the Corporation of Carnarvon, pursuant to tbe notice he bad received ; that Lord Newborough replied to this, by saying, he would not give it Up, he did not consider the Corporation had any right to it. Mr. Roberts then said, " Am I to understand your Lordship, that you disclaim all right of the Corporation to the premises?" to which bis Lordship replied, " Yes, certainly ; it has belonged to my family, and 1 always considered it their property ; but 1 will consult my agent arid solicitor upon the subject." On the part of the plaintiffs, it was contended, that this was such a disclaimer on the part of their tenant, Lord Newborough, as gave them an immedi- ate right of re- entry on tbe premises, although it were even shown by the defendant that he had an unex- pired lease of the premises. Mr. Serjeant Russell addressed the Jury in stating the ease for ( he plaintiff, and observed, that this was on unjus( if. ab! c attempt to deprive Lord Newborough of tbe property created by his ancestors, who had taken the plot of land on [ which the present Custom- house stood on lease from. the Corporation, for a ( erm not yet expired ; and he denied that tbe observations made by his Lordship to Mr. Roberts amounted to a legal disclaimer of the right of the Corporation as landlords to such interest as they really possessed in the property. Mr. H. R. Williams, agent to Lord Newborough, and Mr. Edward Evans, his clerk, deposed, that every search had been made among the muniments of Lord Newborough, for ( lie lease of ( he premises in queslion, but without effect. An old book was then produced; and Mr. Robert Humphreys, who had been Bailiff of Carnarvon in the years 1815 and 1828 was examined. He s( a( cd that he first received ( he book in( o his possession on being appointed Bailiff in 1815, and that it bad conti- nued with him from ( hat period until tbe end of 1828; at which time lie was asked by Mr. H. R. Williams if he had not in bis possession some books of ( he Corporation : on examination he found the book now produced, although he was not aware previously that it had continued in his custody : he gave the book up to Mr. Williams. Mr. H. R. Williams then stated that lie. received this book from Mr. Humphreys; that he knew it belonged to the Corporation; for he was Clerk to Mr. J. Hughes, the Recorder, more than 30 years ago, at which time the hook now produced was in the custody of Ihe Recorder, who was the officer with whom such documents were property deposited. The Book was then given in evidence: it contained a variety of entries relating to the Corporation; and, among others, was a list, purporting to be an account, made early in the last century, of property held under lease from the Corporation : one of the entries was as follows:— " A Lease of the Custom- House, hv the Mayor and Burgesses of Carnarvon, to Thomas Wynne, of Glyn- llifon, Esq. dated tbe 25th of January, 1731, at 10s. for 09 years, renewable for ever." By this entry, as January, 1731, Old Style, was January 1731- 2, the lease mentioned would not ex- pire until January, 1831; and there could he no doubt the premises referred ( o were those in dispute, although the original lease cannot be found among Lord Newborougii's documents, nor is the counterpart in the custody of the Corporation. In summing up, the Learned Judge said, the ob- servations of Lord Newborough did not, in his opinion, amount lo a disclaimer of ( he right of tbe Corporation as owners of tbe freehold ; and if ( hey considered the book produced, and which ought to be in ( lie custody of the Recorder of Carnarvon, a genuine document, the lease under which his Lord- ship held was certainly unexpired, and therefore he must have a verdict in his favour. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict for the defendant. [ An observation was made in Court, that until the production of ( he Book in question ( be Corporation were unacquainted with tbe real nature of the tenure of the property in question ; anil that there are other entries in the book which will enable the Corporation to assert their right to valuable property held at nominal rents, but. on which the Corporation are entitled to an improved rent ] EDWARDS r. JONES. This was an action arising out of a promissory note for £ 100 and interest, for the payment of which the defendant's husband, since deceased, was surety, and for which his administratrix was now called upon, the parly that had received Ihe money having become insolvent.— There was no defence, and the Jury re- turned a verdict for plaintiff for £ 120. In No. 21 there was no defence, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff for £ 354- 4s. the amount claimed. Nos. 15 and 16 were actions of trespass, the former brought for the obstruction of a road, and the latter for the obstruction of a water- course: after each had been proceeded in for some time, it was agreed by the respective parties to refer the matter in dispute to the decision of a Barrister. No. 20 was an action of cjectmenl, brought to recover possession of premises near Wellington, and there being no defence, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff. MORO v. BROOME & OTHERS. The plaintiff Was servant to C. Watson, Esq. one of the Barristers of the Oxford Circuit; the defendants are the proprietors of the mail- coach running from Shrewsbury lo Hereford ; and ( he present action was brought to recover compensation in damages for ( he injury sustained bv the defendant," frorti the over- turning of the coach in question, at Church Stretton, on the 4th of August, 1828, in consequence of the negligence of the alleged defendants in putting a vicious horse to the coach, and improperly loading it. Mr. Campbell stated the case for the plaintiff, and produced evidence in support of it, as follows:— Christopher Crouch.— 1 am Judges' porter of ( he Oxford Circuit; I remember, on the 4th of August last year, setting out from Shrewsbury, for Hereford ; 1 went by tbe mail from the Lion- yard; there were 4 inside and 4 outside passengers, besides tbe coach- man aud guard ; 1 know Bernardo Moro well; he was servant aud clerk to Mr. Watson; I sat on the near side, and be on the off side of the coach; the coach was heavily loaded with portmanteaus, and the luggage was from lj to 2 feet above the roof; it appeared to me very heavily loaded, a large port- manteau was bung to the lamp iron on the off side ; we reached Church Stretton iu safety, and stopped at the Talbot Inn, kept by Mr. Broome; there were ! i" l* ri waiting to change; I got off the mail, aud w ent into the house) I came out shortly after, and got on ( lie coach ; I observed the off- side wheeler very uneasy ; a man was holding him very tight by ( he bridle, and three other persons were standing by the side of him; be seemed very fidgetty; I got upon the coach ; after the coachman got on the box, the man who held ( he bridle of the off- side wheeler let go bis hold ; ( he horse s( ill seemed very fidgetty, and 1 leaned over to Mr. Baldwin, who sat by the coachman, and said—" 1 think we have got a rum one there;" I felt that 1 was unsafe, and I placed the top- coats that I had with me so as to leave a clear way to jump off the coach ; I had scarcely done this when we were gone in an instant; the coachman had pulled with all his might, but the off- side wheeler drove tbe near- side horses up the bank on the near- side of the road, and the coach struck against the root of a tree, and fell over on the offside; it fell on Bernardo; the coach was set upright almost immedi- ately ; Bernardo cried out; he said he could not stand, for his thigh was broke; the portmanteau that hung from the lamp iron had also fallen on his side; Mr. Green, who was an inside passenger, carried him to ihe inn. I have known Bernardo some years; Bernardo was always a very active and healthy young' man previously; 1 saw him a few weeks ago, just before I left London on the present Circuit; he com- plained very much; he said he was very ailing, and very much distressed. Cross- examined by Mr. Serjeant Russell.— There is a great pressure and difficulty at Assize times in getting horses for the mail and other coaches; the passengers by the mail at the time of tlie accident were mostly belonging to the Circuit, and much of the luggage belonged to the gentlemen of the Circuit; I think tbe road was not very narrow where the coach upset; 1 think there was room for three carriages to pass there; one chaise did pass while the coach lay upset on tbe ground ; I have seen horses' heads held before; tbe heads of such horses ought to be held, and of other horses, until the coachman has the reins; I ha ve hoard Bernardo Moro say he bad had a second accident; he said he was riding a pony, and bis Ihigh was so weak that he was obliged to throw him- self off; I know the defendant Mrs. Green; 1 do not know ( hat she is a widow wilh a family of children ; I only know Mrs. Green by passing through Ludlow wilh ( he coach when on ( lie Circuit. Re- examined.— I have seen - Bernardo. Moro ride; he was an excellent horseman: Mr. Charles Mott examined.— I am a surgeon, re- siding in Church Stretton; 1 was called upon to attend tbe plaintiff; I saw him at the Talbot Inn; 1 found him in great pain ; he was conveyed to a bed ; I found there were two simple fractures of ( he thigh ; the bone was broken in two places; I know Mr. Broome ; I do not know that he is an extensive land- proprietor; J know that he is an extensive occupier of iand. The plaintiff's right wrist was dislocated ; he also complained of great pain in the side; there was a severe bruise on his side, and ninth muscular pain arose from it, but there were no ribs broken, nor any fracture there ; the plaintiff was confined to bed 28 days; he suffered from tbe aCCcideht so much, that 1 attended him from tbe 4th of August until the begin- ning of October; I did every thing I could for him The plaintiff had the misfortune to suffer a second accident; he met with the accident on ( be 7th of October; he was at the time waiting Mr. Watson's return from Ireland. Cross- examined by Mr. fialhcr.— t considered the plaintiff's recovery from tbe first accident to be a very rapid cure; the accident occasioned considerable symptomatic fever, anti I prescribed for him both externally and internally ; .1 considered him suffici- ently recovered from the first accident to return to London under proper care, and that he required no further medical atfendance; he was well accommo dated in Ihe house by Mr. Broome; he was attended there with great kindness, and acknowledged that every thing was done for him that could be desired; one of tbe fractures was transverse, the other was oblique; tbe oblique fracture would shorten the thigh; the fractures had been reduced with as slight a diminution of length as possible; ( he diminution amounted to three- eighths of an inch; 1 considered it a fortunate cure. 1 was called in to the second acci- dent; the same bone was broken, but it broke below the first injury; - lie was again confined to his room 28 days ; these accidents would weaken ( he con- stitution and general health for some time; the second accident of course produced a greater prostra- tion of strength. I understood the second accident arose from riding a racing pony ; 1 remonstrated with him on his folly in riding such an animal; he ex- pressed much contrition; the pony was to have run a race two days after. John Deakin examined.— I was a( Church Stretton in the summer of last year; I remember ( he morning that the Shrewsbury and Hereford mail was upset; I know Thomas Broome; he was employed that day about his father's business; I saw him try ( o harness a horse in ( he two- stalled stable ; ( he horse was called " the Welsh horse ;" ( his was before the mail came from Shrewsbury; tbe horse was restive in the stable; he suffered himself to be harnessed with great diffi- culty ; he was taken out of the stable to be taken down to the Talbot; he rubbed his side against the wall, and would not go on ; he kept swerving all the time; Thomas Broome said— « D— n him, let him be put into the coach ;" the harness was then changed ; 1 saw the mail arrive ; I stood by while ( his horse was put to the coach ; the horsekeeper had 2 or 3 men to assist him; ( bis horse was put as the wheeler on Ihe off- side : ( be horsekeeper's name was Jackson; Jack- son led ( his horse down ( he street, because he was afraid of his being restive ; the coachman that day was Minton ; he seemed very nervous on learning that he was to have this horse ; he had no command of Ihe horse; this horse plunged as soon as they started, and put the other horses against ( he bank, so ( hat ( he coach caught ( be stump of ( he elder tr the near wheel got on the bank, anil the coach fell on the off- side; I saw Moro, the plaintiff; the coach was upon him ; when we went to help him up, the portmanteau w as on him; 1 had heard Thoma Broome say it was very unfit that a portmanteau should be hung to the coach as it was; 1 heard him say it was enough to upset the coach without any thing else. Cross- examined.— It was old harness ( hev were putting on this horse, when be was so restive at being harnessed in the morning. Thomas Glover examined.— I was. living at Church Stretton when the mail upset; before ( he mail came, I had seen Thomas Broome trying to put harness on " the Welsh horse;" the horse would not let him do it. for a considerable time; they were going to put him to a chaise or a carriage, whichever came first; at last Thomas Broome said—" D— n him, take him and put him to the coach." Cross- examined.— 1 believe this horse had run in the mail for twelve months. John Dean examined.— I have been a guard to ( he Hereford mail ever since it commenced; 1 was not ( he guard on Ihe day of tbe accident'; I have known " the Welsh horse" for two years; 1 do not think him a safe horse for the mail, bccause be has got a many little nasty tricks with him. I remember his being restive on one occasion ; but then he was not properly put to the coach ; the footboard pressed upon him; I said to some ladies that were in tbe coach, that I thought we were in danger, and they had better get out; and they did so. Cross- examined.— Any horse would be dangerous when the coach was pressing on him; there were no particular precautions taken with this horse more than others. Charles Watson, Esq. examined.— I am a gentleman at the Bar attached to the Oxford Circuit; the plaintiff, Bernardo Moro, came into my service in the summer of 1820; he is a Spaniard; he was 17 or 18 when he came into my service; he came from Spain with a German Baron who had served in the Penin- sula, and with whom be was not willing to go to Germany; he attended me on the Circuit last sum- mer ; 1 went on horseback ( o Hereford, and he was to follow me on the Monday; 1 first heard of ( he acci- dent at Ludlow ; 1 immediately returned to Church Stretton ; I found Bernardo in a room at the Talbot Inn ; he was in extreme agony, and was attended by Mr. Mott; the pain of bis side was so great that he could not bear even the sheet upon him ; 1 felt very anxious about him, and I applied to. Mr Peuiberton, the clergyman of the parish, who has behaved with tbe greatest kindness; Mr. Pemberton assured me that I might rely on Mr. Mott's ability, and I am now certain that Mr. Mott is a person of great skill; I left Stret( on next day, and returned on the Friday; I left Stretton again that day, having given directions that every care should be taken of bint, and I did not see Bernardo again till the 11th of October, when I found, on reaching Shrewsbury, that he had mtt with a second accident; Bernardo eventually came up to London in December ; and he was then very much reduccd, and very lame. Previous to the accident, he was one of the most active, healthy persons 1 ever saw, and I believe there was not a better horseman in England. He is now un( i( for my situation, but I was glad to take him in ; and although he is much improved in the strength of his thigh, and in walking, he is often ill, and suffers internally ; he is not fit to touch the reins of a horse; I think lie is totally unfitted for any situation that requires exertion; previous to tbe accident, he acted as a general servant to me ; he was valet, grooni, and clerk, and I should think his place was worth altogether nearly £ 120 a year. This closed the case of the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Russell then addressed the Court for the defendants; and this task he performed with his usual ability: he dwelt very forcibly on the fact, that at Assize times, & c. the proprietors of coaches were driven, by a wish to accommodate ( he public, not only to carry more luggage than they otherwise would, but also to use animals that might in other cases be differently employed ; and be thought, if the Jury considered the defendants liable in this case, ( bey should be moderate in measuring out what they should adjudge as a compensation. The Learned Judge summed up; and the Jury, which was special, after consulting a short time, returned a verdict for plaintiff, Damages £ 175. [ We believe the plaintiff's sufferings were not more deeply commisserated by any persons than by the proprietors of the mail, who, though not bound to pay Ihe damages until November next, paid the amount awarded immediately after the trial.] with Great Britain, which the Porte seemed so highly to value. He prayed the Reis Effeudj. earnestly to take the matter again . into eonsi<! oi'a tion, and to put him iu a condition to negoeiafe a more agreeable basis. The Reis Effendi promised to do so, and that he" would let his Excellency know the resolve of tbe Divan. After this dialogue the Ambassador retired, and the Reis Effendi remained unmoved, seated upon bis divan. No one can per- suade himself that the Porte will formally agree to the propositions of the Power*! 1- OR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. BISHOP HEBER'S MONUMENT. IRELAND. POSTSCRIPT* LONDON, Monday Night, August 1* 29. The Times of this morning- contains a letter, of which the following- is an extract: — " It is a miserable thing- to be compelled to own it; " and your correspondent is particularly reluctant in "' acknowledging- the fact; but truth compels me to " say, that / do not recollect any period in which " dissatisfaction was so gen< t it in Ireland. 1 " really do not believe there is a government party " in the country." Why such is the case, we can be expccted to answer only in part. Why the Protestants of Ireland should be dissatisfied, we indeed can say—' but for the Roman Catholics, what cause of dissatisfaction have they ? They have got the object of all their aspir- ations—" full, free, and unqualified emancipation"— what more do they want ? If we may judge from late occurrences, and the language of those who com- plain in their behalf, nothing- less than a licence to exterminate the Protestant population, either by open murder, or by perjury in the abused courts of justice. If the Protestants defend themselves from the knife and the pike of the highway ruffian, that is a griev- ance. If an honest jury acquits a Protestant, whose life is attempted by a gang- of priest absolved per- jurers, that is a grievance. In short, every obstruc- tion interposed between the destroyer and his intended victim, is a grievance. We are told, indeed, that there is no room for the fair administration of justice in Ireland. Neither is there in Italy ; neither is there in Spain ; neither can there ever be room for the fair administration of justice in any country where the bulk of the popu- lation are the zealot* of an absolving superstition. If there is to be ever a fair administration of justice in Ireland, it must be after witnesses shall be taught to reverence the obligation of an oath. The news of the healing measure has reached America, where it has given much joy to the enemies of England. There was a great dinner given in New York, by Sampson, Macneven, and others, who escaped the gallows in 1798, at which, among other appropriate toasts, we find the following" The memory of the pat riots of 1798, who fought and bled for Catholic emancipation, and a little more." That " little more" is looked forward to with much con- fidence, as a natural consequence of the measure just carried. There is a small mistake in the toast, how- ever, for many of the patriots here lamented did not bleed. On Tuesday, the 11th inst. was erected the marble monument, so long promised and so much wished for, to commemorate the worth and perpetuate the me- mory of that excellent man and able divine, the late Bishop Heber. It is placed on the right- hand side of the altar of Hodnet Church, near the communion table, and, like the deceased whom it is designed to honour, is more remarkable for modest and humble simplicity, than decoration and grandeur. In this we are presented with nothing more than a profile or Side face of his Lordship ; and though the artist has given us a countenance considerably more in years than that of 43 ( the Bishop's age at the time of his death), he lias made a handsome recompense for it, by strong lines of dignity and interest. The inscrip- tion which follows under, though said to have been written by Mr. Southey, is, we conceive, by one who knew him better, and by a pen which is a well- adajited associate to the chisel abov* » Sacred to the Memory of the Right Reverend Father in God, REGINALD HBBER, Who was horn April 21st, 1783 ; Instituted m the Rectory of this Parish, 1807 ; Chosen Preacher at Lincoln's Inn, 182- 2 ; Consecrated Bishop of Calcutta^ 1822 ; And died at Tricbinopoly, April 3d; 1826. Monument is erected at the request of his niater- nal Uncle, the Rev. G.

The latest advices from Bucharest state as positive information, that the Russian General Geismar was concentrating his forces with a view of striking a great blow. These accounts, also confirm the arrival of General Tolstoy, with the Russian reserve, on the banks of the Danube. It is stated, as from authority, that the hopes of concession on the part of the Sultan, either on the Greek or the Russian question, have nearly vanished. It is also reported that an express has arrived from Vienna, giving accounts of the further advance of the Russians towards Adrianople, though it is pretty generally thought that nothing can have arrived from Vienna later than the news received through Warsaw and Berlin. The Nuremburgh Correspondent of the 9th contains the following paragraph respecting the affairs of the war. We add a letter from Con- stantinople^ which will,- we think, prove interest. • ng :— THEATRE OF WAR.— Dervvish Jovran ( Derwiseh- koi) which is now the. head quarters of General Diebitsch, lies about a mile ( German) to the South of the Kamtschik, upon the road which leads frotn Varna to Bourgas, close upon the Black Sea. About two miles still further south lies Astro, directly on the coast, near the promontory of the same name, hi the present operations, it is the left wing especially, commanded by General Roth, that awakens the public attention. The march of the division follows the winding of the coast. Kuipri- koi lies about seven miles west of Bnlgau and Derwisch Jowan. Palisfania is distant about seven or eight miles from Bourgas and Aidos, which cities are about fifteen miles distant from Adriano- The Turkish army has lost during the last few weeks, a great number of men by the plague. This circumstance is more likely to operate upon the Sultan than any diplomatic representation in inducing him to listen to the propositions made to him by the English. aud French Ambassadors, Constantinople, July 17.—( By commercial letter.) — The affairs of the Porte are taking a worse turn every day, but yet not the least compliance on the part of the Sultan is to be expected. The Sultan and those around him, though well inforthed of all Ihe disasters of the war, still evince good courage, and have the air of men having the brightest prospects before them. It is known that the return of the Ambassadors flattered very sensibly the Otto- man pride, and turned the, heads of the minieteis: for before they were assured of their coining, th< y held a very different language from that they speak now, when the Reis Effendi permits himself to say the strongest things to us by order; it i* known that the ne< » ociations between Christians aud Turks are never conducted by the respective plenipoten- tiaries alone ( solus cum solo), but always in the presence of several persons, interpreters, or writers; so that, generally speaking, all that passes trans- pires. It is related that the Reis Effendi, at his first interview with M. Gordon, treated him as an old acquaintance, spoke with great respect of the Duke of Wellington, and his, M. Gordon's brother, Lord Aberdeen, praised the system of politics, and swore he would do any thing tiiat was agreeable to the English cabinet; whereupon he was handed the protocol of 22d March, which he handed over to the interpreter, and promised an answer in a few days, for that he should first examine this act him- self, and then lay it before the Sultan. At ihe second interview, a few days after, he received the Ani^ bassador with the same politeness, and declared that he was aware of the good views of England upon this emergency ; that he conceived distinctly why the English Ministry acted as it did, and no otherwise; but that the Porte, too, has her reasons for not accepting proposals, the agreeing to which would compromise her existence by weakening the fidelity of her other subjects. To accept the pro- tocol of the 22d March would be, said the Reis Effendi, to unfurl the standard of rebellion upon all the rajahs; he would not be a faithful servant of his Highness did he advise him to do so, and he put it to the Ambassador himself whether in his position , hc could act otherwise. M. Gordon went into ex- planations— he cited the case of the United States, and observed, extraordinary circumstances requ're extraordinary measures, which a prudent Govern- ment should not hesitate to adopt, in order to avoid a greater evil. The Reis Effendi replied that he conceived all that very well, and that therefore upon his part he would neglect no means to re- establish the repose of Greece, and for this purpose he would propose, first, that the Porte grant a full amnesty to the Greeks; secondly, that t. lie Porte should examine thoroughly the state of Greece, and introduce such ameliorations as would satisfy all reasonable wishes; thirdly, that the Porte for a series of years would cause no taxes to be raised by the Greek rajahs : farther than this the magnanimity of the Porte could not extend, and from the well known moderate sentiments of the Ambassador, h did not doubt fur a moment he would duly estimat its value, ant! make a proper use of the same. Here upon the Ambassador assumed a very serious tone, referred to all the earlier negociations, and gave the Reis Eftendi distinctly to understand that that was __ " AN ENQUIRER" has not taken the proper distinction between Tolls collected under Charter, and those exacted for Standings in Markets. ^^^ The continuation of the Fishing Tour in our next Wellington District of the Watling Street Turnpike Roads. rg^ IIE General ANNUAL MEETING JL of the Trustees acting for the above District of Roads is appointed to be held at the Falcon Inn, Hay Gale, in the Parish of Wrockwardine, in the County of Salop, on Saturday, the 19th Day of September^' 1829, at Eleven o'Clock. in the Forenoon, to examine,, audit, and settle the Accounts of the respective Trea-^ surer, Clerk, and Surveyor.

The Assizes for this^ county terminated on Saturday la « t; when, although every exertion was made by Mr. Serjeant Taddy, who presided over the proceed- ings at Nisi Prius with an ability that gave the Utmost satisfaction to the Bar and to the suitors of the Court, one cause was made a remanet.— John Nodcn> convicted of a capital felony ( see 4th page), is left for execution.

The whole number went into the water, and the fourteen got out again without missing their companion until the leader of the company, on counting number, exclaimed, " One of us is lost, which is it?" Meanwhile, a boatman, who had seen the poor fellow sink, pushed off with all possible alacrity, and picked him up with a boat- hook before existence had fled : but his countrymen insisted upon taking him into their own keeping, saving they knew how to manage him best: and they immediately held him up by the heels, which of course induced apoplexy, and death ! Having discovered the fatal effects of their mismanagement, one of the party said, " A pretty job of journeywork. we've done! What shall we do now ?" To which another replied, " You fool! hang him up to dry!"— The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased was accidentally drowned. Numerous workmen have within the last few days been busily engaged in finishing and beautifying the building in Stable- yard belonging to the Marquis of of Stafford, and commonly called York house. Most of the rooms, which were very plain, contain beautiful pictures and portraits, framed in the most splendid manner. It is consequently rumoured again that the place will be dedicated to a collection of pictures BIRTH. On the 5th inst. at Boduant, the Lady of William Hanmer, Esq. of a son. MARRIED.

The stone weighed two tons, and bears the inscription—" Giorgio Tertio; Patri Optimo, Georgius Rex." His Majesty was welcomed by a salute of twenty- one guns, and the Royal standard was hoisted upon the tower. He after- wards proceeded to Virginia Water, and returned to the Lodge to dinner.

SHIEL.— This gentleman has L: ecn publicly insulted in the streets of Waterford, and has been openly accused bv the rural patriots in its vicinage, with having sold the pass," as the Southern phrase runs.

This singular fact is without parallel in natural history.

WRITING ON NEWSPAPERS. A respectable tradesman of Bath, had a newspaper brought to him few days since by the postman, for which 9s. postage was demanded in consequence of its being written on. A deputation of Spitalfield Weavers went to Wind- sor on Wednesday last, with a petition, to obtain the King's patronage to a subscription to enable them to go out to the Swan River. Their petit ion was pre- sented to his Majesty through Mr. Peel; aud in reply thereto—" His Majesty deeply laments the distress which prevails in that district, and regrets to hear that the sufferings of the. innocent and industri- ous workmen have been increased, as there was reason to fear they would be, by the iawless acts and outrages on property that were recently committed in SpitaWields," Ilis Majesty further " directed the petition to be referred to the consideration of his confidential servants, who have not felt themselves warranted in advising his Majesty to encourage the emigration of the weavers of Spitalficlds to any of the colonial possessions of his Majesty by special pecu- niary aid for that purpose!" It is stated to be in contemplation to establish a college in Bristol, for the purpose of providing the sons of subscribers, in the West of England, with the means of obtaining at a moderate expense, a complete classical and scientific education, such as can only be acquired " at the Universities at a great expense. ' Fhe business at Stafford was brought to a close, oh Wednesday. The number of prisoners was seventy, against 31 of whom sentence of death was recorded; two of these were only 13 years of age !— John Rogers, ( a slight- made genteel- looking young man* aged 19j) charged, with the wilful murder of Mary Brearley, with whom lie cohabited, at Wolverhampton, by beat* ing and kicking her on the head, was acquitted of the capital offence, and found guilty of manslaughter: i Mr. Baron Vaughan observed, that it was the worst case of the kind that ever came before him, and sentenced the culprit to be transported for life. At Goodwood Races, on Thursday, the Gold Cup, value 300 sovs. and 180 in specie, was won by His Majesty's Fleur de Lis, beating Mameluke, Varna, The Alderman, Rourjk Robin, and Lamplighter. The first three only were placed, and the race was severely contested between the winner and Mameluke. None of the others had a chance. The moment it was known that Fleur de Lis had won, a burst of ap- plause tor his Majesty followed, and the band struck up " God save the King." PARLIAMENTARY CONCILIATION— The Lords of the Treasury have issued an order signed, by Mr. Planta, directing that " eighteen gallons of Irish whiskey, addressed to the Right Honourable the Speaker of the House of Commons, London, should pass duty free." This is said to be a propitiatory present from Mr. O'Connell ; and if it don't mollify " Mr. Speaker's" heart, and induce him to " permit" the Member for Clare to take his seat, without pronouncing the awful word—" Withdruxv /" there is no virtue in malt. For the fact of the Treasury Order we can vouch, be the present from whom it may. On Sunday afternoon the supervisor and officer of the Excise at Dorchester, suspecting that smuggled goods were secreted somewhere upon the premises of a dairy- man, about seven miles from Dorchester, on the Wareham road, went thither, and after diligent search, found a cave in the. garden very artfully concealed, v, z. a box was made to fit and let down, under the earth, into a frame sufficiently large to allow a man to pass through— the box was filled with earth, and a young apple tree was grow- ing in it, surrounded with cabbages. In the cave were found twenty- three tubs of very strong brandy, which are now deposited in the Excise warehouse at Weymouth. STATE OF IRELAND. The second Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons, just delivered, contains some very valuable information, and no less valuable sug- gestions, relative to the condition of the labouring poor of Ireland. The following extracts are entitled to serious consideration : — The want of capital in Ireland is attributable to various causes. Capital can accumulate only out of the savings of individuals. In Ireland there are few persons who* either in manufactures or agriculture, conduct their operations on such a scale as to admit of much surplus for accumulation. The manufacture which flourishes, the linen, is spread abroad amongst a population, which at the same time cultivates the soil for their sustenance; and though such a manu- facture may be more conducive to health and morals in the manufacture, it is more incompatible with large saving* In like manner in agriculture, the tendency, from various causes, in subdivision of farms, and the general practice of throwing the expense of buildings and repairs on the tenant, countervail the accumulation of profit in the hands of the farmer, and the application thereof to beneficial enterprize in agriculture.— It is almost impossible in theory to estimate the mischiefs attendant on a redundant, a growing and unemployed population, converting that which ought to be the strength into the peril of a state. It is obvious that the tendency of such a population to general misery must be rapid, in pro- portion to the facility of procuring human sustenance, leading to the boundless multiplication of human beings satisfied with the lowest condition of existence. That such a population, excessive in proportion to the market for - labour, exists and is growing in Irekind, is a fact that demands the most serious atten- tion of the Legislature; and makes it not merely a matter of humanity, but of state policy, to give every reasonable encouragement to industry in that quarter of the empire. Iii considering the causes which dis- courage industry in Ireland, it is impossible to over- look the lamentable circumstances, almost peculiar to that country, of the non- residence of a great propor- tion of its proprietors; and especially of that portion which could most contribute, by their rank, their wealth, and their moral influence, to operate bene- ficially 011 the habits and comforts of the lower classes. The expenditure of income in England, re suiting therefrom, enhances the claim of Ireland on the generous consideration of Parliament. " On the subject of Agricultural improvement, your Committee, controuled by the permanent prin- ciple of avoiding unnecessarily to tamper with so important a branch of industry, and leaving it to its best encouragement, the operation of a free market, nevertheless think it necessary to point out the extent to which Ireland may be improved, and its power of production of human food vastly extended. It appears in evidence, that there are of reclainiable bog- in Ireland two millions of Irish acres, of a soil suited to the production of grain ; that the. measure sug- funds, could have effected the same amount of good which has been wrought under the Parliamentary Commission for Scotland And n any measures which the wisdom of Parliament may adopt, the power through which it is to be exercised should be removed from the influence of local interests and partiality in its application. It is no small recom- mendation of a similar experiment in Ireland, that, the amount of money requisite for its completion is so small as not to present any obstacle, even in the present difficult situation of the finances of the state; and that its application would moreover be justified and facilitated by the power possessed by the Grand Jury system of Ireland, of taxing the land to be im- proved in an amount equal to any public grant, by which much of the difficulties encountered in the Scots system would be avoided." Many definitions of the term " Yankee'-' have been given in some parts of America. The following account of its origin is correct:— One Jonathan Hast- ings, a settler at Cambridge, North America, about the year 1713, used it to express it as excellency, for instance—" a yankee good horse," or " vankec cider," meant an excellent horse, or excellent cider. The students of a neighbouring College were accustomed to hire horses of Jonathan. Their intercourse with him, and his use of the word on all occasions, led them to adopt it, and they gave . him the name of " Yankee Jonathan." It was dispersed by the Collegians throughout New England, until it became a settled term of reproach to ail New Engenders, and eventually to all North Americans. A REMARKABLE. CHARGE OF THE LEARNED JUDGE PAGE, AN ORIGINAL ANECDOTE— Gentle- men of the jury, ye have heard the evidence against this here fellow : He not only robbed the gentleman who xvas so good as to prosecute him, of his effects and money; but as far as 1 can b arn, has always been a vagabond, a stroller, I think; a, fellow that went about with tricks and fancies. NoW, I never, liked your tricks and fancies.— I will tell you a pleasant story: Some years ago, when I was at Exeter, there was a fellow, an ill- looking dog, somewhat like the prisoner at the bar, that went about with a bear and a l- fiddle. A troublesome rascal;, there was no living for his tricks and fancies. So this was Very well; \ was not then a Judge, but went only on private busi- ness. However, some time after 1 went that Circuit. You may be snre I enquired for my old friend ; but, somehow or other, the b? ar was dead, and the fiddle was broke. But how do you think I served the fellow ? why 1 hanged h'ni. The following is a literal copy of a letter sent by Adam Bryden, a farmtr residing at Ilowick, to the " late King. There was some little delay in the delivery, but it reached the Royal, hand *— " Dear Sir,—! went thirty miles yesterday on foot to pay your taxes, and, after all-, the bodies would not take them, saying that I was too late, and that now they must be recovered by regular course of law. I thought, if you was like me, money would never More than 200 varieties of wheat are now growing in the gardens of the Apothecaries' Company at Chelsea. A circumstance occurred a few evenings ago, which afforded a fine illustration of the instinct, of the brute creation. A blind beggar, led by a faithful dog, was coming along the market place of this town, stagger- ing drunk; the old man was unconscious of any person being near him,- and muttered to the dog , " Find a public- house :" the animal did not require the order to be repeated, but immediately made the best of its way round a cart which stood in the path^ to the Bell public- house, which its master entered.— Boston Gazette. gested by the scicntific persons employed under the ! come wronS to You » although it were a few days too Bog- Commissioners, much facilitates the application lat? > so 1 enclose you £ V in notes, and half, a * ' guinea, which is the amount of what they charge me for the last half year, and four pence halfpenny over ; you must send me a receipt when the coach comes application of private speculation to such improvements; and that, in order to give efficacy to those suggestions, a General Inclostire and Drainage Act, 011 the principle Of that for England, would be highly important; ^ eypnd that, as the basis for particular local acts, your Committee do not venture to go, save jn . recom- mending that the powers given under the act of last Session be extended to exempting from interest such advances as may be< made for " public works," on due security for repayment of the principal within a limited number of years. A reference to the Reports alluded to . will evince the great source of employment which the improvement of the bogs of Ireland would ofi^ r the population 5 and the facility of transport by canals through such level lines, would ensure to • England supplies of grain at moderate prices, which might render it wholly independent of foreign coun- tries for the food of its manufacturing population. The mountain districts of Ireland, at present com- paratively unproductive, are capable of high im- provement; they consist of about One and a half millions of Irish acres, of which it appears that about one- half is suitable for agriculture, the remainder for much improved pasturage, for rearing or dairy pur- poses, and the entire eminently suitable for planting, much of the worst of it being old forest land. The nature of the evidence relative to those mountain districts has led your Committee to consider of their improvement in connection with that of the Fisheries, of which the principal lie along the coasts of those districts. " In whatever view it can be considered, whether a* a source of national wealth, as a means of employ- ing an overflowing population, or as. a nursery of the 1 b( jst seamen, your Committee cannot'too strongly impress on the House the importance of the Irish Fishery. In addition to the evidence on that subject, stated in the Appendix", your Committee have referred to several reports of the Irish House of Commons, from the year 1733 to 1799, all demonstrating the highly advantageous situation of Ireland, as a seat of the fisheries, which could alone have been rendered unprofitable by a most perverse and injudicious system of laws The revision and simplification of those laws, and the direct application of encourage- ment under them to the resident fishermen of the coast, your Committee consider essential to any suc- cessful fishery in Ireland. The failure of the existing system may be proved by the fact established in the public accounts, that while in the last year herrings were imported to the value of i. 58,197, the export trade, within the last three years, has fallen to a twentieth part of its former amount. The actual condition of fhe fishermen on the coast appears to be miserable'; and yet their general habits, character, and qualifications, are highly deserving of liberal encouragement. It appears from the whole currcnt, of evidence, iiqt only that the western, northern, and southern coasts of Ireland afford every advantage for a bay. or coast fishery, but that they are eminently suited for a deep sea fishery of great importance, calculated to afford permanent employment, inde- pendent of that for the production of oil from the whale and basking shark, which abound in the conti- guous seas; Without enlarging on the importance of this subject, voiir Committee refer to the evidence in their appendix, as well as the voluminous testimony contained in the Irish Journals before referred to, and they particularly call the attention of the House to that of Mr. Telford, which has enabled them to ti} ke the benefit of. experience from an improved system of Fishery Laws, and of Parliamentary encouragement, wisely applied' and eminently successful in the case of Scotland, The inestimable benefits of the measure, which has opened through the Highlands of Scotland suitable lines of road into the seats of the fisheries- from the more improved districts, form the strong contrast to the numerous instances in which public money has been injudiciously applied to local objects. The establishment of successful fisheries in conse- quence has materially augmented the national wealth, and opened sdurces of the most valuable industry ; and it appears to your Committee, that so extensive a national benefit was never attained for so moderate an expenditure. " In the case of Scotland, in 1802- 3, the Treasury adopted the principle of applying the public money for the great ultimate public object of encouraging the fisheries, and with that view they ordered suiv veys to be made by skilful engineers, and approved a scheme for opening the Highlands on a prospec- tive estimate of £ 150,000, to be met by an equal hevy ou the districts to be thereby improved ; and of the signal success of that scheme your Committee, have the most satisfactory evidence. On every ground of policy as well as justice, your Committee earnestly • recommend the application of the pre- J cedent of Scotland to the highland districts of Ire- 1 land. It appears in evidence, that the circumstances of the countries in question are remarkably similar ; they are both mountainous and uncultivated, and abound with an unemployed population. The Irish soil is stated to be capable of higher cultivation, as better in itself, and equally abounding with manures, which at present cannot be transferred for its improvement beyond the mere precincts of. the sea. It abounds also with the best natural harbours for safe anchorage and shelter, but is deprived of their benqfit from the want of piers or landing ^^ aces, which it appears could be con- structed at a moderate expense. The favourable fishing stations are also, for want of roads and bridges, cut off frotu intercourse with the inferior, from which capital may be expected, and a market found for the coast fishery. To all these natural claims to similar encouragement those districts of Ireland add the very serious one, that from the non- residence of a majority of the proprietors they do not possess within themselves the means of effecting those objects by private exertion. " It appears, moreover, that in the- case of Scotland no combination of private individuals, with equal back, else they will not believe I have paid you Direct to the care of Mr. Andrew Wilson, butcher, in Howick. I. remain, dear Sir, your very humble servant, " ADAM BRYDEN. " P S. This way of taxing the farmers will never do; you will see the upshot. « To his Majesty, George Rex, London." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. DEVON.— A laughable incident occurred in the Crown Bar Court, which for a few minutes placed an honest looking and unsuspecting young countryman in custody on rather a serious charge. Among those called to be arraigned was Henry Preston on the Coroner's Inquisition; the person charged, having been on bail, was unknown to the governor of the gaol, or his servants, and on the name being called, a young man who had got into the dock stood up, and pleaded " not guilty," and, the arraignment being closed, was of course taken into custody. Terrified at his situation, the reason of which he was unable to understand, it was not easy to qome to an explanation but this being at length effected, he was again brought into Court, and the circumstance represented to the Judge, when it appeared that he was in attend- ance as a witness in another case of Manslaughter, and that his name was Preston, and hearing something about " Manslaughter," and the name of Preston, he had no idea but it referred to himself, and answered accordingly. The Judge laughed heartily, as did the whole Court, at the dilemma the young man had got into, and directed his discharge. SUFFOLK.— Lore and Murder — A most extra- ordinary scene took place at these assizes, when VVm. Buckle, aged 21, was capitally indicted for cutting the throat of Leah Warren, a young woman to whom he was much attached, but who, in consequence of her friends objecting to him, had told him to discon- tinue his addresses. This apparent coldness on • her part drove him to a state of distraction; and on the evening of the 9th of June, having persuaded her to take a short walk with him, he threw her down, cut her throat, and ran off, but the wound was not dangerous. The young woman in giving her evi- dence against the prisoner was extremely affected, She said she was much attached to the prisoner, and she knew that he loved her very much, and that she had determined to marry him, even without her friends' consent. She then became overpowered, and was unable to proceed with her evidence. The avowal produced a strong impression in Court, and was received with a burst of applause, in which even the jury joined! The prosecutor, her father, was spoken to, the proceedings were stayed, the young man liberated, and a scene ensued of embracing and kissing between him and the young woman that would have appeared romantic enough in a French Court of Justice, and is quite unprecedented in this country. The happy pair departed in the hope of being shortly married, and the swain instead of being hung up by the halter of Justice will be speedily bound by the silken cord of Hymen. HUNTINGDON.— There was only one prisoner for trial at these assizes, named John Wiiks, indicted and found guilty of horse stealing. He had mounted the | horse for the purpose of trying his paces, and rode away with him 26 miles, and offered him for sale. His defence wa?, that the horse ran away with him. Sentence of deatk recorded. NOTTINGHAM.—- A whole family, consisting of the husband, wife, son, and daughter, named Revill, were indicted for shooting at W Middap, with intent to murder him. A11 action of ejectment had been brought against them, to recover a house to which they conceived they had derived a right from their ancestors. The verdict having gone against them, a party of the sheriff's officers, among whom was the deceased, proceeded to the premises to demand possession, but found the house barricadoed, and the prisoners prepared to defend it ; bricks and other missiles were showered down on them, and while the deceased was engaged in breaking open the door, he received a shot in the neck from a pistol. They were found guilty, and sentence of deatk was passed. Rosco v MON .— Murder of Captain Cox.— Michael Grogan and John Birchali, were convicted of the burglary, robbery, and murder of Captain Cox, master of the Arigna iron works, in February, 1828, and were ordered for execution. A great number of the jurors were challenged. A circumstance worthy of note is, that three Roman Catholic priests gave their countenances, during the challenges, to the agents and counsel concerned for the prisoners. When a name was called, a look from the reverend gentlemen decided whether the person was to be challenged or suffered to be sworn on the part of the prisoners! At Norwich, on Friday, John Strafford, was found guilty of the wilful murder of John Burgess, by ' administering to him a quantity of arsenic, and was ordered to be executed ou Monday.— It appeared on the trial, that the deceased was not the man for whom the poison was intended: the object of the convict was to poison another individual. At Exeter Assizes, on Friday, Kezia Wescombe, a female about 32 years of age, and Richard Quaint- a. ncey a man of 35 years of age, were convicted, the former of murdering her husband, by administering arsenic to him— and the latter, for inciting her to commit the said murder : and they were both ordered for execution. It appeared on the trial, that these wretched parties had concerted this horrid crime, with the view of becoming more closely connected, and that as the woman had poisoned her husband, so Quaintance had administered poison to his wife, to effect the same object, and from thcj^ ffects of which she is now greatly suffering. STATS OF THE COUNTRY. [ From the Manchester Chronicle.] The state of the Country at the present period is certainly not one which can be contemplated without much regret, and we will add, without great dis- satisfaction. The distress which has been long ex- perienced in the commercial districts is so far from receiving any relief, that it has of late been very considerably augmented. In many of the most populous neighbourhoods the manufactures are almost entirely suspended. The employer, having litt. Ie or ho demand for bis goods,, is compelled to dismiss his bands,— or if from any motives of humanity he still retains them, he has no hope of deriving any jirofit from their labour. Every thing wears the appearance of despondency and gloom ; nor is there the most distant prospect of amelioration. The most sanguine cannot reasonably anticipate any favourable change. For the present difficulties cannot . justly be referred, as the difficulties of 1826 were referred, to the rash spirit of speculation which had so extensively diffused itself throughout the Country, and which, if in some instances unaccountably successful, neter fails to be productive of the most fatal consequences, when operating as an universal principle of action. It is not this, however, to which our present condition is attributable ; it is from some other cause than that of " ffreatly darinfl" that our commerce is now so lamentably reduced— our trade, in every branch, degraded. It is not the natural effects of too boltl enterprise that harass the manufacturer, and deprive the labouring classes of. their bread. We were pro- mised indeed a very different state of things from W'hat we witness. The advocates of free trade assured us that once their measures were fairly in operation, we should quickly learn to estimate their value ; they held out to the Country the prospect of a golden harvest; they pictured, in glowing colours, a general plenty. Most assuredly these promises have not yet been realized— anil perhaps it is not just to expect that the full advantages of any important change of national policy should be experienced at once. But we suSpect that free trade itself is among the chief causes of our distress; for not only has it been hitherto of no advantage to the Country, but things have gone gradually w > rse ever since it was intro- duced. This, it will he observed, is directly the reverse of what w; as so confidently predicted. We wiil admit, for the sake of argument, that a measure so novel might be supposed to check for a time the progress of our manufactures ( since the introduction of all great changes is naturally attended with some present inconvenience), yet what can we conclude from the protracted depression of those manufactures, hut that free trade is in principle defective. Even if we should be willing to admit still further, that free trade will certainly prove beneficial in the end,— is it possible to derive, under existing circumstances, any consolation from so vague a term ? Are we less s nsible of its injurious tendency at present? What limit is assigned ? Is it ten, or twenty, or a hundred years ? What, in the name of fortune, is to become of us in the mean tiitie ? We are not indifferent to the interests of those who shall succeed us; but we confess we cannot carry our sympathies so far as to consult their interests by the sacrifice of our own. What miserable comfort is it to be told that a future generation shall reap the benefits of Mr. Muskisson's policy ! It is the duly of every government to respect ihe immediate happiness and prosperity of those whom it is called upon to govern; and if free trade is found to accelerate rather than retard the decline of commerce now, we are at. a loss to know on witat ground it is persisted in. We go altogether upon the fact that we are now in a state of depression almost unprecedented— that our manufactures are visibly languishing— and this withal, during the operation of that notable panacea, a Free Trade ! Hut, amidst all our objections and complaints, we find it still asserted that we are not in as deplorable a condition as we are apt to represent. Certain politicians, seated in their easy chairs, and engaged in the placid occupation of perfecting their theories, condescendingly inform us that the state of the country is exceedingly pro- sperous and happy. It is truly intolerable to hear men talk in such a strain : let them visit us, and from their personal observation learn to form a more correct judgment. At the very time we. write, Man- chester, scarcely recovered from the consternation excised by the failure of a great commercial House, has deeply to l'egret the failure of another of the highest respectability. How general must he the consequences of these events— bo. v many interests are here involved?— But we quit the subject, satisfied that our distress must force itself upon the attention of the Government, and not without a hope that ancient and approved systems of legislation may at length resume the place which has been so danger-, ously usurped by theoretical experiment. SCHOOL l. iTt RATURF.— Mr. Guy, the successful author of some of our best Books on Education, ha, just published a new work, of very prominent, interest, in that important branch of literature, and which will, no doubt, be well received by every respectable academy in the empire. It is equally adapted to the uses of all classes, being as necessary to the young scholar as to the more advanced student. The work is called " Guv's GFNIRAI SCIIOOI. QUESTION BOOK ;" in which each question, in a regular series, is followed by its appropriate answer; not only in ANCIENT and MODERN HISTORY, in which the whole is arranged in chronological order, but also ill BIOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHY, ASTRONOMY, HEATHES MYTHOLOGY, CLASSICAL 1' HRASEOLOGY, and a great and interesting variety of MISCELLANEOUS Subjects, the whole tending to enlarge the boundaries of juvenile knowledge by increasing its stores; and thus, by blending such a course of general information with sound classical or liberal learning, to raise the belter superstructure of School Education." Mr. Guy in his own advertisement thus explains its uses: " To supply youth with a compendium of General History has been ihe first object oT this manual. As such, it exhibits not a confused and fliultifarious assemblage of ill- arranged questions ; but a well- digested abstract of both ANCIENT and MODERN HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY, from the creation to the present time, in a reyular series, with the dates affixed, embracing the most prominent features of ten An lent, and eiyliteen Modern Kingdoms and States ; with the principal revolutions of the most illustrious nations; and, perhaps such a body of historical matter has seldom been compressed in so moderate a volume. The second part comprises interesting questions on GEOGRAPHY, ASTRONOMY, and Mis. CELL AN KOUS SUBJECTS; not ou subjects that maj- or may not be known by the well- educated, but such as every parent and every instructor would deem altogether essential in a course of liberal education. The Work has been drawn up with great care, from the most authentic sources, and accommodates itself to every class of learners ; serving, first, as a daily course of reudinii among the lower forms ; an 1 after- wards, as a regular course of study, during the last years of juvenile instruction."

Her Screams ( notwith- standing h'fst putting his hand upon her mouth) awoke her mother, who instantly rushed down stairs, when she saw the prisoner making his escape through the front door. The father of the prosecutrix wai very deaf. The witnesses for the prosecution were subjected to the acute cross, examination of Messrs. Whateley and Phillips, who were retained for the prisoner, and who exerted themselves to the utmost in sifting the evi- dence. TlierP were several witnesses called for the d£ ferrce ; and a number of gentlemen and farmers, neigh- bours of the prisoner, gave him an excellent cha- racter for honesty and sobriety. After the whole of the evidence had been gone through, his Lordship recapitulated it to the jury, pointing out very forcibly such parts of it that either tended to negative or support the charge ; at the same time observing, that if there were any doubt in their Uiiiids, they should give the benefit of tbat doubt to the prisoner; but if they were clearly satisfied of bis guilt, tbpy should convict him, not considering the consequences, but to bear'iu mind the duty they owed to the public arid the laws of their country. The jury then begged to retire to another room, and, after being in deliberation about half an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty, at the, sauie time most earnestly'recommending the prisoner to mercy. The prisoner, uptfn hearing the verdict, was in a dreadful state of agitation, and wept bitterlyhe fe. ll " own upon his knees', and implored his Lordship to Spare bis life. Mr. Phillips here mentioned, to Ihe Learned Judgev that the prosecutrix hoped the prisoner's life would, he spared. Orders. having been given to keep silence while the wful sentence of the law was passed upon the. pri- soner, Mr. Baron Vaughau addressed him as follows : You, John Noden, stand convicted by the unanimous erdict of a most dispassionate'jury, in the presence of God'und in the face of your country, of one of the foulest crimes that can be laid to your charge ; as, but for the law, female chastity would go unprotected' from, characters similar to you. Though I cannot take upon myself to alter the sentence which the law demands me to pass upon you, yet, owing to the mer- ciful recommendation of the jury, I shall forward the consideration of it to a higher quarter, where every thing that can be done in your balialf will be effected. • Put God' forbid that 1 should hold otit to you any hope of mercy on this account ; for I am boiiud by a sense Of duty to give you the h^ iirt- fen'diug intelligence that justice demands an expiation for your offence by the forfeiture of your life ; and you will do well to prepare for the awful change that awaits you, and- n » make " ntercession with that Maker whom y. on have offended, and who has declared that he will forgive the sinner that repenteth even at the eleventh hour. And let me'' once more' in treat you to spend the remainder of your days in prayer and supplication to the God of Truth, to whom the secrets of all hearts shall be opened, and . before whom you must shortly appear to give an account of all y6ur actions upon earth. You will be attended by the Chaplain of ihe Prison, who will give you that spiritual instruction best suited to your situation; and may God of his infinite mercy, give yo'u grace to receive that instruction, and that it may lead you to a sincere repentance of your sins. His Lordship then pronounced sentence of Death upon the prisoner in tlie ii'sual form. The Court was greatly crowded during the whole ef the trial, which lasted from nine o'clock- in the morning till between three and four in tbe afternooni the premises, and discovered that property of great value had been stolen, and aiUongst the rest she missed- a smelling bottle, an eye glass, twosflveV fruit- knives, and a pen- knife; witness saw the knives this day \ Ihe custody of the constable. John Whitphurst, Esq. landlord of the house occu pied by Mrs. Denston, passed by the door late in the evening preceding the robbery, and saw all safe; he passed that way at six o'clock the next morning, and paw the staple or guard of the lock lying in the road; witness examined the door, which bad been forced open by means of a chisel, it having several marks of an instrument of that description upon it. Witness had occasionally seen the prisoner PJriniiler at bis brother's house, which is on the Westbury road; there is a lane leading. from Plimmer's bouse to Mrs. Dension's, which is on the Holyhead road; opposite Ihe end of- this laiVe is a small avenue and steps leuding to the batck of the house of the prosecutrix, and to the liver. William Hall, police- officer, of Biimingham, appre- hended Tom mey i t. the Bull Ring, iu that tnvvu, mi the 5th of June; witness searched l. iu., and found on his person Iwo dessert knives, a pocket knife, a sniellunr buttle, and an eye ffhiss, which were produced, and identified as her properly. !

His Lordship observed that it was very praiseworthy in the parties who prosecuted the prisoner, and hoped th- at others would adopt the same means ofputting down houses of this sort, as the keeping of such places had done more injury than any other species of vice : they held ont inducements: to the innocent and unwary, whereby their moruls bfcahte contaminated, which eventually involved tlieip in the most evil practices, and frequently led tliein to commit crimes of the worst description. MAUY SHEPSTONB, at. iiiiitate of tbe above house, was charged with robbing John- Cornewall, of Newport, butcher, of two £ 5 notes of the Wolverhamp- ton bank.— Not guilty. SAMUEL DAVIES was indicted for robbing Tlios.

EDWARD DAVIES & JOSEPH JONES, charged with stealing, a quantity of lime- coal, value Is. the properly of Thomas Giltins, of the parish of Welsh Hampton, were acquitted. This completed the Calendar. About six weeks agij tve took occasion to notice a Report made to the French Chamber of Deputies, by one of the Ministers of that country, pn the line of policy which France was adopting in regard to the encouragement of its internal agriculture, manufac- tures, and trade;— and that the principles she was pursuing were diametrically opposed to those of the Free Trad « System of Mr. Husiisson and the Political Economists, or the Ministers of this country. Since then another Report has been made, which has drawn forth the following remarks from the intelligent author of the " Circular to Bankers— " We have never given an opinion ad verse to the exclusion of the principles of Free Trade, abstractedly considered. We think, however, in common with a great portion of the active and intelligent part of the community, that, in our complicated condition, those principles have been introduced into practice in a very inconsiderate arid unguarded manner, which cannot fail to be productive of great and indescribable mischief. And we are of opinion, that there was a fair opportunity, al out six months ago, of making a salutary impression upon the mind of the Duke of Wellington, upon this subject, if a well directed effort had been jealously made for that object. We know that, his Grace has recently expressed, in private con- versation, to a gentleman, a sentiment which supports us iu this opinion. On that gentleman submitting a view, respecting the injurious consequences of some particular application of the Free Trade principles, the Duke said, with animation and emphasis, ' what a pity it is that this view of the matter was not pre- sented to the Government before the Commercial Policy of the Administration was settled.' " If we are not egregiously mistaken in the view which we take of the case, there is a kind of rivalry peaceably going on in France against this country, which may lead to portentous consequences, and the operation of which ought to be regarded with as much solicitude and watchfulness by our Govern- ment as the more striking proceedings relating to military policy were formerly. The amount of English capital, and the number of English artizaus which are withdrawn from the pursuits of industry in England, and applied to the manufacturing and mining speculations of. France, are circumstances which strike with aston'ai'iment the most common Casual observers. The capital and the superior science of the cultivators of the soil of England are rapidly withdrawn from the high- priced land of this country, and employed in parts of t rance where land is cheap, as fiscal burthens are comparatively unim- portant. This is a serious consideration for the landed interest and the Government of Great Britain. " It is for this reason that we regard the French 1 Report of the Commission of Inquiry1 as a very i. i)) K> rtant document at this juncture. It breathes throughout a spirit of wariness and circumspection ; it shews a resolute determination, not to expose to hazard the internal industry of the people of France for the purpose of extending their foreign com- merce. The people in the. interior of France are pros| ierous and happy, in a degree surpassing that of any former period in the history of France; and we know, from English capitalists who have purchased land in that country, and have taken over English husbandmen to cultivate it, that the produce yields a just remuneration for the employment of capital and labour. The distress which prevails in some of their seats of manufacture, and amongst the cultivators of the vine, is not of such a character as would be denominated ' Distress' in Spitaltields, or in the eastern part of the county of Lancaster. 11 While we are exposing the products of our agri- culture to a foreign competition, which, with present rents and- engagements, and with money at the pre• sent value, cannot fail to be ruinous to the cultivators of land, the French appear to be above all things iOliCilo. K to GUARD THFCLR PROPERTY IN THE SOT I.; they see ' the necessity of attaching a Revenue to territorial property, in order not to expose to the risk of perishing this ( if one may so call it) ELDEST BRANCH OF THE SOCIAL FAMILY, and by the same stroke to dry up the most certain, as well as the most abundant, source of the national wealth.' And in regard to the policy relating to their circulating medium, they are EXTENDING THEIR PAPER CUR- RENCY, while we are ruinously contracting ours. The number of persons who issue small notes in France of the value of twenty francs ( about 18s. English) is increasing; . and the paper currency of the Bank of France, of the smaller denominations, is also increasing." A few of the more remarkable features of the Report ate not touched upon, in the above extract and these wc shall proceed to notice, in order to put our readers in possession pf the general tenor of the document. It is entitled Report of the Commission of Inquiry, constituted by royal authority, under the direction of the Minister of Commerce and . Mann factures, to investigate certain questions of Com mercia- 1 legislation ;" and the Minister commences with- saying, that though he might " more readily than any other individual have relied upon his own experience with regard to the custom duties, and to his own lights in matters of trade, considered under the head of public economy, nevertheless he was the first to apply to the administration that system of investigation and inquiry, which it becomes a reprc sentative government to adopt." He then states that in November and December last, certain pro- prietors of mines and forests, forge- masters, iron merchants, iron- founders, and artists, were separately called before a commission of inquiry under his presidency, and examined, attended to, and allowed to offer suggestions with regard ( o the condition, wants, grievances, and wishes of those connected jvith the fabrication and trade of iron. The colonial planters and beet- sugar makers, refiners, and mer- chants in every kind of sugar were also examined— and the Report then says that," doubtless this great undertaking will be continued and successfully ap- plied to all the various branches of industry, putting us in the way of reforms and improvements, which » t is now more desirable than ever to carry into our system of imposts and commercial policy. Not as some sanguine and impotent people suppose, that a clear light can at once burst forth, or that projects of laws anil ordinances can proceed exclusively from' these inquiries into each particular interest." Not- withstanding this eulogium on the object of the Commission, the Report goes on to state, that the customs of a country " ought not to be regarded merely, as a tax, but as an instrument of administra- tion, live necessary regulator of the; efforts of industry and national commerce, a mean of defepce, that should not be allowed to slip, against the invasions of foreign trade and industry." In another sentence the Report says, that " no where is the amount of pecuniary produce more, secondary ; in no case would it be so mischievous, that that consideration should picdominuie." The French Minister then further elucidates and enforces his opinions of the superior wisdom of a nation attending to its agri- cultural and internal affairs, in preference to its manufacturing and external, by the following illus- tration :—" The industrious population is divided into two productive classes; productive Ijy different means, and in mapy respects, opposed in interest. The one, which comprehends the husbandman, the mirier, and tbe herdsman, and all the various branches of these three principal divisions finds employment in extracting from the bosom of the earth, substances useful to man. Its products, which are raw and necessary materials, possess a commercial value, determined by the amount of capital which it is necessary to expend in obtaining them, and never greatly exceeding that amount. To the other class belong the manufacturer, the workman, the artificer of all sorts of things, who work up the raw material into an infinite variety of forms; and, by the mere labour of their hands add to its value a price in- determinate, and it may be said, without limit." He next draws the following comparison between the two classes:—" In every country the former of these two classes has more to lose than </ ain by importa- tion. Among us, what is at present necessary for it almost exclusively is, that it should continue mistress of the markets of the interior— that is, that i re should shut out the competition of foreign products, which this class can scarcely sustain upon any potnt. It seeks to be protected from the intro- duction of the grain of Odessa, the sugar of India, the iron of Sweden, the hardware of England, the wool of Spain, and black cattle from the lthinv. To effect this, it calls for the assistance of customs, and always finds the tariff too lowIt then states, that the class of manufacturing industry has also some interest in excluding from their markets certain rival productions of foreign fabric. " But," observes the Report, " beyond these clashing private interests, rises the interest of the public ; the necessity of holding equally, if not including the favour of France, the balance of trade with foreign nations, so as not to give to the latter the advantage over us which a creditor has over a debtor, but if possible, td Observe that advantage over them ; the necessity also of attaching a revenue to territorial property) in order not to expose the risk of ruining this, if one so may call it, ELDEST BRANCH OF THE Soctii^ FAMILYHear this, ye liberals of England ;— « and by the same stroke to dry up the most certain, as well, as the most abundant source of the national wealth ; in fine, tile great importance, which it is to the future prosperity of the country, TO PROTECT THE XATIONAL INDUSTRY, feeble as it still is, in many respects, and to afford it time and opportunity to acquire sufficient force to maintain the contest which it is called upon to sustain in the competition of foreign industry."!! The Report concludes with 4 statement of the progress which the French are making in the manufacture of Iron, and of Sugar from Beet- root. Our limits only allow us to extract the account of, the former; which in the present depressed state of that branch of trade in our own country at this crisis, will be read with the interest it deserves, and must, we conceive, add one more inducement to the present Ministry to devise some effectual, as well as speedy means, either to retrace the steps of the economists, or to restore our manufactures to their wonted state of prosperity.; — " The qi\ est! on of iron," says the Report, " which occupied the eatlicst attention of the commission, affords also an example remarkably singular, of the utility df the operation of the customs, and of vigorous tariffs for the developement and main- tenance of certain branches of the national industry. " Tile necessity of supplying ourselves during 25 years of maritime warfare and continental blockade, gave rise to a great many speculations and establish- ments for the working aird improvement of our native iron. These created employment for vast capital and numerous hands. The value of property in wood ( the only fuel then used in forges) was soon very considerably increased, and this increase gave rise to new fortunes and new interests. In the mean time, the English on their side, unknown fo us, discovered arid perfected the mode of employing pit- Coal, and using it. in the smelting of iron. This advantage, joined to that which they always enjoyed of an abundance of iron ores, was such, that when commercial intercourse was opened, it was found that the English could supply our markets with wrought iron at 21 francs the metrical quintal, nearly 60 per cent, less than that at which our ironmasters could produce it in France, " It would undoubtedly happen, that the inevitable effect of this, so great difference of price between the foreign and domestic produce, would be to us the cessation and total abandonment, without chance of restoration, of the whole of the iron- manufacture of France, the ruin of thousands of families, who had always applied themselves to that branch of industry, an enormous and sudden decline in the value of property in woods and forests, and altogether to throw into the balance of trade in favour of England, the price of all the iron which might be consumed in France. ". To guard against suck individual disasters, at well aJ a great public loss, it became necessary that the produce of the English forges should not be allowed into our markets at a lower price tban that of the forges of France. By means of an impost duty of 27f. 50c. per quintal, this foreign iron could not come into the market under 48f. 50c. - The preservation of the national industry being thus guaranteed, AND THE TRADE FORTIFIED BY THE PROTECTING DUTY, the manufacturers did direct their attention so well to the improvement of the old process of working as to enable themselves to use the new > rocess, and the quantity of wrought iron, which had > ecn only 800,000 quintals, in 1810, had risen 826 to 14,000,000, anil since then it has increased about 100,000 more, " In the latter ci\ d of 1828 there were in France 14 blast furnaces, worked like those of England, with coke or pit- coal, and capable themselves alone of producing 800,000 quintals of iron. At the same period there were twelve other furnaces of this description building, and companies were forming for the establishment of a greater number. " Within the last three or four years there have also been discovered, in the departments of Gard and Avevron, coal- pit^ of more or less extent, close to abundant strata of iron ore ( if excellent quality." All these advantages and improvements are summed up as follows :—" We have reason to believe that, whin the facility of conveyance, by means of canals and railways, shall have been added to the improvements and discoveries already made, the forges of France wilt produce a sufficient quantity, and at so reasonably low a price, as to put an end to the necessity of importation, at the same time that the artixan and consumer shall hare nn cause t( r regret the low price of foreign ironSuch are the invitations and such the return which FRANCE makes io our invitations to a system of Reciprocity! Mr. Cavendish, M. P. for thp University of Cam- bridge, was married on Thursday night, by special- licence, to his fair relation, Lady Blanche Howard/ The ceremony took place about nine o'clock, at Devonshire House, and the young couple, about an hour afterwards, left town for the Duke's residence at CbUwick. STATE OF SOCIETY IN ENGLAND AND IRELAND CONTRASTED.— Op the subject of criminal prose- cutions in Ireland, Mr. M. Bjirrington, one of the Crown solicitors, says— u In England every tuarr assists in the prosecution— in Ireland, generally, every man assists in an acquittal— 1 mean people of the lower class," This is perfectly true : the' Government of Ireland has not only to pay the expenses of prosecutions, hut when over, it i » necessary to protect the witnesses, and very fre- quently, as the only means of doing so effectually, to send them out of the country. We happen to recollect one instance which occurred at Pallas Kenry, county of Limerick, some years back, where an entire family it J. the exception of a girl of eleven years old, was barbarously murdered. Upon this child's evidence nine of the gang were convicted and suffered death, but the child was never permitted to remain in that part of the country, lest she should be murdered by some of her own relatives. Ptitri'k Her/ an, a private of the 67th Regiment, stationed in Chester, was committed to the Castle for trial at the Assizes, on Saturday last, for stealing1, at Mollington, a coat, the property of Mr. John Brown. The morning before he was apprehended, he had re- ceived 300 lashes for some offence. ANOTHER EXTENSIVE ROBUERY OF GOVERN- MENT STAMPS.— On Saturday, the 25th of last month, a parcel, addressed to Richard Crutwell, Esq. distributor of stamps at Bath, containing stamps of various descriptions, of the value of upwards of 9ne thousand four hundred pounds, was stolen from the coach- office at the Saracen's Head, Snow- hill, or from the Royal Blue coach, oh its journey fVom London to Bath, and has not since been heard of.
