We will therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by Dr. JAMES JOHNSON and Dr, KFKRISO. N, in their examination 111 the House of OowiHr. ris. Dr; JAMES JOHNSON, the Author of the 14 Treatise 011 Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the sight, and the effluvia to fiffeet the senses. And he thus concludes—" We sneer, 1' says th Doctor, " at the delicacy of the Hindoo, ho slakes hi: thirst at the same taiik where his neighbour is sacri ficihg to Cloacina ; but what shall we say to th delicate citizens of Westminster, who fill their tank and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thousand clonue, containing EVERY SPECIES OP FILTH, AND ALL L? N UT. T3RABLI THINGS, are daily disgorging the'r hideous and abomi liable contents. It is absolutely astonishing, that i these days of refinement, and in a Metropolis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanli tiess, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if tlrey can credit it. Dr. KERRISON" makes us acquainted with a fact, th> perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating i On inspecting the Thames near the lauding at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw 44 the. foul and black stream from the Ranelagh sewer, passing between Hie Com pany's steam engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" fmm w hich he conclude, h that 44 a cnnsideiqble quantity human excrement, in n subdivided and undecomposed stateractually passes into our cisterns " This mode of Filtr ition not only clarifies, but purifies the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of cvystaline brilliancy, aod at the same lime most effectu ally destroying both SMELL and TASTB. I ts adaptation o Cisterns enhances it* valuable qualities, by obviatin, the trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, an insures an effectual preventive against the possibilit of employing any water than that which has passed tl Filter, either for Culinary operations, or. in fact for any domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process Filtration stands conspicuous amongst its advantages The Proprietor does not state the precise number of Gallons capable of being produced, but is enable confidently to assert, that so fast as the water issupplie at the top of the Fitter, so fast will it discharge itse from the bottom in. a highly purified stale. Its moderate Price ( from Three Guineas upwards, but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion. to the dimensions of Cisterns), by rendering it attainable to all House keepers, confers a real blessing on Society, by at one removing the causes of a multitude of diseases, whicl are justly attributable to the noxious particles con tained in the water. To accommodate Private Families who desire to have Portable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are t « be had of all dimensions, at the Office, in the Slyand » and are forwarded to all parts of England. THE PORTABLE FILTERS IN EARTHENWARE 2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day.... 25s. 3 Ditto ditto 18 Ditto 30s. 6 Ditto... handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 42s. 9 Ditto 65 Ditto V> s. 12 Ditto 90 Ditto....; ..... 75s.

FKF, Esq. late of Longford, one of His Majesty^ s Justices of the Peace for this county. I deferred sending a communication of the event, in the hope that the task would have fallen into abler hands than mine, fn justice to the memory of such ai man, his death should not be passed over as it were in silence; for of him it may be truly said, that as a Magistrate he was distinguished by the quickest discernment, the soundest judgment, and most unbiassed integrity. To attempt an enumeration of bis virtues would indeed be superfluous : suffice it to say, that his loss will be severely felt and deplored, both as a public and private calamity. He allowed no opportunity to escape him in his exertions to further the interests of the neighbouring town of Newport, where he has left many lasting monuments of his liberality— a liberality which will be long and gratefully remembered by the inhabitants. His uniform conduct was such as rendered him an example of what was firm and just, anil, at the same time, truly great, generous, and hmnnre. He was charitable without ostentation, and in him society has lost a most invaluable member, and his snrviviirg friends a friend indeed. I am, Sir, your's, most obediently, A CONSTANT READER. The Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions yesterday, upon the motion of the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, seconded by Sir Robert Chamhre Hill, unanimously appointed Mr. Joshua John Peelc Treasurer of the Public Stock for this county. Visiting Clergyman this week at the Infirmary, the Rev.

COUNT EKE KIT SOVERUICNS.— A man about 25 years old, 5 feet 2 inches in height, full faced, pale complexioned, dressed in a blue body coat, light cloth trowsers, and white neckcloth, was on Friday last attempting to passs counterfeit sovereigns in Bangor. The sovereigns may easily be detected, as they are not above half the legal weight, are of a light brassy colour, and are bailiv executed, having the king's head struck very faintly, and the edge roughly finished. The above person having been detected, and the inhabitants of Bangor put on their guard against him, thought fit to decamp by the steam packet. Seeing a number of persons approach him, and suspecting that it was intended to take him into custody, he cast a counterfeit sovereign into the sea, from whence it was removed, after his departure, by one of the boatmen. On this occasion he had changed his dress from that which he wore on the preceding d ay, and appeared in a white great cbat and blue trowsers, having his luggage packed in a black canvas knapsack, addressed Mr, Mason, Passenger." We understand this fellow landed at Holyhead from Dublin, and came through Anglesey to Bangor. As it is likely he may proceed from Liverpool, by way of Chester and Shrewsbury to Birmingham, of which last town we suspect him to be a native, we have been the more particular in describing his appearance, that the inhabitants of Cheshire and Shropshire may be on t . cir guard against him. The General Quarter Sessions for this county com menced on Monday last, before Thomas Pemberton, Esq. ( Chairman), the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, Sir Andrew Corbet, Bart. Sir John Wrottfsley, Bart. Sir Robert Charnbie Hill, Charles Walker, E< q. Thomas Harries, Esq. F. B Harries, Esq John Edwards, Esq. Rev. Oswald Lcycester, John Thomas tTolpe, Esq. Rev. Charles Leicester, H. D. Warter, Esq. Richard Williams, Esq Philip Charlton, Esq. the Rev. VVatiej Corbett, and John Brown, Esq. Charles Richards, charged with felony, was, on motion being made, admitted to bail, and the case directed to stand over until the next Assizes. In the appeal between Tong and Sherififhales, the order for the removal of the pauper was confirmed. -— In this case, besides a body of other witnesses, there were no less than six land- valuers examined as to ( lie worth of a tenement, occupied by the pauper! who will be a costly, if not a valuable, acquisition to the losing party. In that between Newtown and Lilleshall, the order was reversed by consent;— the appellant party having proved that the female pauper removed to New town as the wife of Arthur Turner, jun. was the second w ife now living of that person i the fir. d wife was put into the box, and cleared up that point imfnedtately : of course, ( lie second wife must be removed to her maiden settlement. In the appeal between Smethcottand Ratlinghope, the order was confirmed. William Thomas, John TVilliamson, and Joseph Ilume, three boys who had been begging and pilfer- ing through the country, were indicted for stealing, from the house of Mr. Henry Weaver, at Quat Jervis, a pair of shoes, the property of his servant boy, William Harris,— Williamson and Hume pleaded guilty, and Thomas was convicted on clear testimony. — They were sentenced to be imprisoned one mouth. Richard Phytic, for stealing a duck, the property of Ivlisses Mary and Amelia Sinyth, of Shiffnal, was sentenced to be imprisoned one month to Iwrd labour. — A boy named Blakcmore, servant to the Misses Smyth, displayed much acuteness and the most praise- worthy activity, in tracing, pursuing, and eventually causing the prisoner to be taken into custody fiir this offence, and was ordered an extra remuneration by the Court. Samuel Curtis was found guilty of stealing six ducks, three drakes, a bag, and other articles, the property of the Rev. John Geary,' of Donington, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 6 calendar months to hard labour.— In this case also, a boy who had with much assiduity watched the prisoner's movements with his plunder on the road to Bridgnorth, and into that town, where he caused him to be apprehended on suspicion that he had obtained the ducks dis- honestly, was ordered an extra remuneration.—[ There is good reason to believe that the prisoner's name is not Curtis, and that be is a felon escaped from his term of transportation : on which charge, it is proba ble, he will shortly be tried— an intimation to this effi'ct having been given by the Chairman.] Richa< rd Jones, aged 14, pleaded guilty to indictment charging him witli stealing a pair of quarter boots, the property of Thomas Edwards of Welsh Hampton,, ntvcl being recommended to the merciful considerate n of the Court by the prosecutor, was only sentenced to a fortnight's imprisonment to hard labour. William Adams pleaded guilty to a « harge of having stolen a jacket and a waistcoat at Drayton m Hales, and was sentenced to be imprisoned one month to hard labour. Richard Bromley pleaded guilty to a charge of having stolen a bushel of coats from the lime kilns of Mr Richard Garbett, at Dilton Priors; but in consequence of his receiving an excellent character from the Minister and Churchwardens of the parish, he was sentenced to be imprisoned only 2 months to hard labour. Peter Turner pleaded guilty to a charge of having stolen a spade at Mucclestone, and being an old offender was sentenced to be imprisoned 6 months to hard labour, and to be once whipped. Mary Jones pleaded guilty to a charge of having stolen, from a house at which she was employed as a washerwoman, a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of John Brooks and Sarah Forgham, and was sentenced to be imprisoned ( i calendar months. John Griffiths was convicted of having stolen a sharavel, a basket, & c. from the premises of Mr. William Wheeler, of Cleohui v Mortimer, maltster and miller, on the night of the Otli of October, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 3 calendar months to bard labour. John Guy, aged 35, a collier, was convicted of having stolen two fowls, the property of Mr. Robert Austin, of Oaken Gates. The prisoner having been nearly half bis life in gaol, for one offence or other that he had committed, was deemed incorrigible, and was sentenced to tie transported for seven years. Richard Bennett was charged on suspicion of hav- ing stolen a scythe, the property of Air. William Jones, of Wollaston, farmer.— The prosecutor stated, that about the end of June, or beginning of July, he missed the scythe from the granary in which it had been placed, and, having reason for suspicion, he went into the field of Mr. Hodges, a neighbouring farmer, with whom prisoner lived as a servant, and li*. there found the prisoner mowing with the scythe in question. The prisoner, by way of defence, stated, that he had lived four years as servant to the prosecutor, who was so well satisfied with his conduct that, he gave him more wages than he had agreed for; that when he took the scythe, he merely borrowed it for the use of his master, with whom he was an hired servant, and therefore he could have no reason for stealing a scythe for his master's use ; that when he went for it be went in open day, and not meeting with any one about the premises, he conceived that, being well known there, and only come to borrow, he might venture to take it, which he did, without breaking any lock, or forcibly opening any place; and he called upon the prosecutor to state what character he bore when in his service. Mr. Jones, in consequence, said, he knew of no charge that could be made against the prisoner as to his honesty. Mr Hodges, and Mr. Lewis, of Felton Butler, with whom the prisoner had lived as servant, also gave him a most excellent character. Philip Charlton, Esq. one of the Magistrates on the Bench, then requested the Chairman to ask the pro- secutor whether the granary door was locked when the scythe was taken?— The question was put; and the prosecutor said he could not swear that it was locked. The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner, much to the satisfaction of the Bench, and of every person in Court. The Sessions terminated with this case, about 12 o'clock yesterday.

In the afternoon, the Corporate Body and a select party of friends retired to the Gogerddan Arms hin, where they partook of an excellent dinner provided for the occasion, and the evening was spent with perfect hilarity. The wines were highly approved; and the general arrangement of the entertainment reflected great credit on Mr. Davies, the landlord. WELSH JUDICATURE.— At a meeting of the Mayor, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of Haverfordwest, on the 3d inst. to take this important subject into consideration, it was unanimously resolved to petition both Houses of Parliament in the ensuing Session, against the proposed removal of the Great Sessions for Pembrokeshire from Haverfordwest to Car- marthen, as tending to subvert the ends of justice, by having their causes tried before a jury, by whom the language of the witnesses would be but imperfectly understood, putting them to a ruinous expense, or submit to the oppression of their more wealthy neighbours, causing a great neglect of their affairs at home during their absence, ami subjecting them to frivolous and vexatious actions in the Courts at West- minster, from which they were at present protected by Act of Parliament.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.— The following relation of a truly extraordinary occurrence has been handed to us by an eye- witness of the fact, a stranger in Dublin, and a Gentleman of first- rate respectability We cannot present it in a more acceptable form to our Headers than by giving it in the very words of our Correspondent, who notices the transaction as evincing a most extraordinary instance of rapidity of decision, presence of mind, and quickness of execu- tion :— " I was passing," quoth our Correspondent, « thro' — street. A crowd had collected around the door of an Apothecary— the name is Graves. Being one of those who come under Sterne's classification of " inquisitive travellers," I ask one of the persons as- sembled, what has happened ? With an apathy quite at variance with the fact of his loitering at t( ie door, he answers— 1 hurt it's some one is, I suppose.^ A gentleman at the moment gallops down the street. Actuated, as it would appear, by the same motives which influenced me— niotiies merely of curiosity, he suddenly checks his horse, springs from its back, divides the crowd by a motion of his arms, as one ac- customed to command, and enters the shop. Obeying an impulse which I could not controul, I follow, and find myself beside my unknown guide in an inner apartment, never calculating upon the propriety or delicacy of my proceeding. A pitiable sight presents itself. On the lap of a female servant lies a lovely infant, apparently between two and three years old. Its face is swollen, its eye- balls starting, its whole body convulsed by heavings, painfully visible through every fibre of its little frame. To the question pre- cipitately urged the reply is faintly given, « that the child is choakiug ; that a piece of meat had stuck in its throat.' The fact is evident— The child is dying ! The querist importunately asks the shopman for some surgical instrument, the technical name of which I forget, or, more properly speaking, with which 1 am not acquainted. It is not to be had ; but an offer is made of going to seek it. A psha ! and a hastily muttered sentence, ' the child would be dead before you could get ten doors off,' was the reply. With the rapidity of lightning the Gentleman, whom I had followed, slits with a penknife the end of the small riding rod he carries in his hand; he tears some por tion of the child's clothing, which he wraps around it; in an inconceivably minute fraction of time the wand is forced down the throat of the child. The experiment is successful, the passage is free, the little sufferer ceases to feel pain ; it breathes, it revives— it is saved— it is restored to life, to health ! The ex- traordinary man who performed this more than extra- ordinary operation, in a manner so utterly at variance with all the recognised rules of practice, retired from the shop with the same rapidity with which he entered it; vaulted upon his horse and galloped off at a speed similar to that at which he was proceeding when his career was first checked by the appearance of the crowd. Amazed 1 inquire who and what he is, and am answered that he is the Surgeon General, Mr. Crampton." We have taken pains to inquire into the foregoing story, and find the facts to be precisely as they are re- lated. The child belongs to a highly respectable Barrister, and we think the extraordinary presence of mind evinced by the Surgeon- General deserves to be recorded. Whether we have done right in giving it in tbe precise and somewhat quaint language of our Correspondent is a matter for the decision of our readers, and not for us.— Star of Brunswick.

It is said that Thomas Jervis, E< q K. C. will have the vacant Chief Justiceship of Chester Circuit; but that no colleague or puisne Judge will be at present appointed. A black pheasant was shot at Dunfcerton, near Bath, last week. At Bristol efforts arc- making to establish a College, and the sum of i' 3000 has already been subscribed towards that object. Sometime in the night of Friday se'nnight a most daring burglary was committed in the dwelling- house of Major- General Dighton, lit Newland, in Glouces- tershire, by some villains who contrived to force open one of the windows, and effecting an entrance, col- lected an immense quantity of valuable plate, with which they got clear off at the moment. On the robbery being discovered next morning, a police officer from Monmouth was immediately sent for, whose enquiries ended in directing suspicion towards four ill- looking fellows who had been observ ed loiter- ing in the neighbourhood the evening before, and whom the constable had seen associating with the low gambling fraternity on Monmouth racecourse. A search in various directions was promptly instituted, the course of which a person named Watkins crossed the Severn, and shortly after dark on Saturday evening reached Newport, Gloucestershire. On making enquiries be found that four men, answering the description of the suspected parties, had shortly before been seen entering a lodging- house in that place, kept by a woman cf the name of Lane. VVatkins immediately went to the house, but being assured by Mrs. Lane ( hat. ll ) such persons were there, he repaired to his informant, Who persisted that he had seen ( hem go in, and having procured other assistance, they returned to the house. In the interim, however, the good- natured landlady went to her guests, who had retired to bed, and said " she hoped they had not done any thing wrong, but that the constables were after them " The hint was quite sufficient, the gentlemen jumped out of bed, hastily drc « sed themselves, and bolted through a window at the back part of the premises. The pursuers shortly after arrived, and a hue and cry being raised, one of the gang, named William Pilot, was taken whilst endeavouring to conceal himself in a ditch. The other three. effected their escape; but though they won the race, they lost the plate, the whole of which was found secreted under a bed in the room from which they had so unceremoniously taken their departure. All the articles, however, were broken np and defaced. Pilot was subsequently examined before Colonel Berkeley and R. F. Jetiner, Esq by whom he has been fully committed for trial at the next Assizes. No tidings have yet been heard of the other three. QUALMS OF CONSCIENCE.- On the 7th of May, 1780, a labouring man named Gummery, with his wife, and a daughter aged nine, and Thomas Sheen, the brother of Gummery's vvife, were murdered in their beds at Berrow, in this county. These murders caused the greatest sensation at the moment, and some persons were apprehended on suspicion, but no evidence could be obtained sufficient to warrant the trial of any one on the dreadful charge ; the general impression was, that the murders were committed from motives of revenge, arising out of transactions connected with the enclosure of Malvern Link. A circumstance has within these few days occurred at the Worcester Infirmary, which seems to throw some light on the dreadful affair:— On the 1st of August, a man named George Stokes, of Maddresfield, 75 years of age, was admitted into the Infirmary, having a complaint in one of his legs; a mortification took place, and on Sunday he died. In the near prospect of death, . Stokes's mind appears to have been haunted by a terrible crime of his early years; in moments of delirium he appeared frequently to revert to a murder in which he had been concerned; had this idea been confined to the temporary aberrations of intellect, perhaps little stress would have been laid upon the fact; but in a more collected moment, he acknow- ledged to one of the medical officers, that he was concerned in the murder of Gummery and his family — that he " nobbled'' one of thent with a bill- hook— and that the others who took part in the murder were now dead. The instrument alluded to by Stokes agrees very well with that which appears to have been used, for it was believed at the time, from the evidence before the Coroner, that the poor creatures were " murdered with a hatchet or some such like instrument." We think it, therefore, highly probable that Stokes's confession was true, and that all the actors in the dreadful tragedy have passed into that unseen world where they must render an account of the " deeds done in the body."— Worcester Journal. DISASTROUS FIRE AT MANCHESTER.— A con- flagration of the most disastrous and extensive nature, as far as regards the destruction of property, has occurred at Manchester. The warehouses be- longing to the Company of Merchants trading to and from Liverpool, Leeds, York, and Halifax, together with the adjoining warehouses of Messrs. Barnaby and Falkner, Manchester and Hull carriers, have been reduced to a heap of ashes. Seven hundred bales of cotton have been consumed in the Company's warehouse, and 800 loads of malt belonging to one individual. Four barrels of gunpowder were on some of the premises, but were reu oved without explosion. The firemen evinced great intrepidity in attempting to save portions of the property, and one poor man fell a sacrifice to the discharge of his duty. Happily this is the only life known to be lost, although several other persons were injured. It is, however, surmised that the fire originated in the circumstance of one of the workmen belonging to the Company having fallen asleep with a lighted candle on some flax, and that he fell a victim to his unhappy negligence. The loss at present cannot be calculated, but it is supposed that it will fall heavily upon the general mercantile interests of Manchester' [ Subsequent accounts state that this fire has destroyed a greater amount of property than has been consumed by fire in Manchester for many years. In one of the warehouses a large quantity ( if cotton, the property of country manufacturers, had been deposited until a convenient opportunity offered to transport it to their respective factories; anil the whole, amounting to about £ 12,000, was entirely consumed, little or none of it being insured. Both buildings destroyed belonged to the Rochdale Canal Company, and were also uninsured. The total damage, it will be seen, is variously estimated from ± 30,000 to £ 50,000. Of the great imprudence of allowing so large an amount of property to remain altogether uninsured, the present calamity affords a very striking instance. Nothing appears to be known with certainty as to the origin of the fire; the state- ment that it was caused by the negligence of two of the workmen employed on the premises is strenuously denied by them.] SWINDLING.— On Sunday evening, a man was taken into custody at Hereford, on suspicion of being the individual mentioned in our last to he practising acts of swindling, on rather an extensive scale, at different places in Worcestershire and Herefordshire, under the various signatures ( for his orders were all conferred by letter) of Bathurst, Beuuclnk, Chiches- ter, Willoughby, and Denisan. His daughter, a little girl, was apprehended at the same time ; and the father stated his name to be SVm. Henry Moyston, adding that he h id been au auctioneer in the Borough, London, was unfortunate in business, and had been in Hereford about a fortnight. He denied that he bad defrauded any person, or received any goods since his residence at Hereford ; said he had paid for all lie had required in that city, and maintained there was no proof of guilt against him, as a box just received from London, and taken from his daughter, had not been delivered to him ; he also disclaimed all know- ledge of Mr. Bathurst, & c. had a large family to maintain, and ordered various articles to sell again for that purpose. The box alluded to was then opened, and found to contain a handsome muff anil tippet, with a bill made out to V. rs. Moyston, from Pauli and Co. No. 2, Charing Cross, London, anil the charge £ 7, also soliciting the lady's " further orders." After a long examination, iii which Mr. Moyston maintained his innocence, and conducted himself with great cir- cumspection and judgment, the Magistrates said they were convinced as to the nature of his transactions; but there being no specific charge against him at present, they would release him on his entering into recognizance for £ 50, to appear when called upon to which he consented, and also agreed to let the muff, & c. remain in keeping of the police- officers. In bis possession was found a long list of persons in diffeient towns, with the articles they dealt in, which he s lid was taken from directories. It is a fact, that last week 48 letters were put into the Heieford post- office in one day, and on Sunday 12 more, all in the same writing, addressed to d fferenj tr desmen in London, Birmingham, & c.— Gl. ucesiir J. urm I. The Captain of the 3Tatcina, just arrived at Swansea, from Lapland, with copper ore, has suc- ceeded in conveying seven rein dicr, in excellent condition, to that port. They are offered on s: ile. A waggon- load of apples was sold on the Quay at Bridgwater, on Saturday last, by a farmer, at a penny a hatful; they were all disposed of' in less than an hour! On Friday aftei'noon a report prevailed that, ft convict hulk had been that morning accidentally sunk in the Medway, and that the whole of the un- fortunate convicts confined On board the vessel, amounting. to two hundred, had perished. Happily this report of the calamity proved to be a ' gross ex - aggeration. It is true that the Dolphin convict hulk sprung a leak early on Friday morning, so that she hove over completely on her beam ends; but aithough many prisoners were on board, and in their hammocks at the time, three only wore drowned. The remainder reached the shore in safety, with the exception of one prisoner who was badly bruised. The convicts acted in the most exemplary manner, and not the slightest attempt at insubordination or escape took place. V\ OOL TttALti.— The meeting at East llstev, near Wantage, was attended by Tiiointis Lhiflield, Esq. of Marchafn park, Fnlwar . Craven, Esq. William Moreland, Esq and all the great land- owners anil hold crs of that important district of country. They formed themselves into a society " for the En- couragement of tlio Growth and Consumption of British Wool," and auoth' r general meeting is to I e held on Wednesday week, the 14th instant. The following are three of the resolutions :— That the agricultural part of the community liaviug the ad ( Ltional burden of increased and increasing poor rates, it is not to be expected that, by exportinu; Wool, the English farmer can compete with his foreign neighbours ; his only hope, therefore, must bo Tii home consumption.— That if this consumption be denied him, bis resource is a dark and gloomy one— that of being to others an addition to a weight which has overwhelmed himself j and, in the end, laud, landlord, and tenant, must be involved in one common ruin.— That, to avert, as far as we can, such calamity, and to preserve to ourselves and families the comforts of our home, and to our coun- try a racr' of men at all times w illing to contribute lo her exigencies, the members of this society do pledge themselves to tre. tr no woollen cloth but such, as is certified to be manufactured front British wool alone. At this moment there are not less than seventy mills in the Wool business, in the West of England, to be let. The depreciation in the value of those now let is absolutely frightful. To give an instance: a mill in the West of England, for which the chief tenant is paying i800 a year, is now let for £ 150.— Buth and Cheltenham Gazette. AN HONOURABLE POOR MAN.— There is now living at Coughton, Warwickshire, a poor labourer of the name of James Smaltwood ; he is about eighty years of age, and has for some time received from Beoley, in Worcestershire, his place of settlement, for his support, 2s. Oil. a week. Smallvvood having re- ceived a very small legacy lately from one of his sons, ( > ut of his savings in servitude,) had paid back to the officers of Beoley parish, his weekly pay of 2s. Gd. per week, for 47 weeks, the sum he had in his need received from them ! In this singular and p raise- irthy transaction it is worthy of remark, that the legacy left to Smallwood, nt the rate of 4s. 6d. a week, will support him about three years- It is seldom our gratifying duty to record such instances of honourable feeling. Woodcocks have already made their appearance in this country. On Saturday last, a fine bird of this species was killed by Mr. Scale, at Eldersfield, Wor- cestershire, and on the same day, another was shot by Mr. Blakeway, near Abergavenny. There is at present living at Hinton Blewett, Somerset, a man named Thomas Harris, at the ex- traordinary age of 108 years, iu full possession of- his faculties. LOCOMOTIVE C A RBI AGES. The contest of the locomotive carriages for a prize of £ 5" 0, offered by the Directors of the Manchester and Liverpool Rail- road, commenced on Tuesday week. The place selected was on the Manchester side of the Rainhill bridge, at a place called Kenrick's Cross, about ten miles from Liverpool, and where the rail- road runs on a dead level. It is said there were from ten to fifteen thousand spectators present, and among them the largest assemblage of engineers and scientific men ever before collected together at Liver- pool. The judges were, J. U. Rastrick, Esq. of Stourbridge ; Nicholas Wood, Esq of Killingworth ; and John Ken: » ! y, Esq. of Manchester.-^ The following is a correct list of the running carriages:— No. 1. Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson, of London, " the Novelty," weight 2 tons 15 cwt. 2. Mr. Ackworth, of Darlington, " the Sans Parcil," weight 4 tons 8 cwt. 2 qrs. 3. Mr. Robert Stephen- son, Newcastle- upon- Tyne, " the Rocket," weight 4 tons 3 cwt. 4 Mr. Brandreih, Liverpool, " the Cvcloped," weight 3 tons, worked by two hor- es.' 5. Mr. Burstall, Edinburgh, " the Perseverance," w eight • I tons 17 cwt. Mr. Burstall, of Edinburgh, did not bring his carriage out the first day, in consequence of its having met with an accident on its road from Liverpool to the place of meeting. The locomotive carriages, of course, attracted the attention of every individual on the ground. They ran up and down the road, during the forenoon, more for amusement than experiment, surprising and even startling the unscientific beholders by the amaz- ing velocity by which they moved along the rails. Mr. Robert Stephenson's carriage attracted the most attention during the early part of the afternoon. It ran, without any weight being attached to it, at the rate of twenty- four miles in the hour, shooting past the spectators with amazing velocity, emitting very little smoke, but dropping red hot cinders as it pro- ceeded. Cars containing stones were then attached to it, weighing, together with its own weight, tip- wards of seventeen tons, preparatory to the trial of its speed being made. The precise distance between the points of starting, at or near the weighing shed, - to the point of returning, was lj mile; but in the adjudication of distances, the judges allowed a fur- long at each end for the acquirement and abatement of speed. The observations apply, however, to the whole distance. With a load of 2 j tons gross, the Rocket travelled the above space of 1J mile four times forward and backward, equal to fourteen miles, in the space of serenty- fire minutes, exclusive of stoppages; but iucluding the stoppages the average rate was 10 § miles per hour. But in the fifth course, the rate of speed, with a loatl augmented by passen- gers until equal to thirteen tons, was full fifteen miles in an hour. Mr. Ackworth, of Darlington, ran his carriage along the course during the day ; but no trial of its speed with weights took place on Tuesday. Mr. Wiuan's machine, worked by two men, and carrying six pas- sengers, was also on the ground. It moved with uo great velocity, compared to the locomotive steam carriages, but with great speed considering that it was put in motion by human power. One of it. s wheels was slightly damaged, in the course of the afternoon, by Mr. Ackworth's locomotive steam carriage. Mr. Brandrcth's horse- power locomotive engine exhibited, not in the way of competition but as exercise. About fifty persons clung round the waggons, giving a gross weight, with the machine, of about five tons, and with this weight, the horses ( themselves moving scarcely one mile and a quarter an hour) propelled the waggons and load exactly at the rate of five miles an hour. This could scarcely be called a fair trial of the ingenious inventor's machine, nor was it considered so by the judges. The engine of Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson, of London, was universally allowed to exhibit in appearance and compactness the beau ideal of a locomotive engine. Its performance, while " exer- cising without a load, was most astonishing, passing over a space of 2| miles in seven minutes and aquur- tcr, including a stoppage. With this delay its speed was about iweiity- thiec miles an hour; and while running the speed was upwards of twenty eight miles an hour. Owing to a variety of circumstances, this engine was prevented from being ready to start with a load until a late hour, when, at the request of the directors, its exhibition was postponed until Wednes- day. The velocity at which it moved surprised every beholder. It seemed indeed to fly, presenting one of the most surprising spectacles of human ingenuity, and human daring, the world ever saw. It actually made persons giddy to look at it, and filled thon- ands with lively fears for the safety of the individuals who were on it, and who s - emed not to run along the earth, but to fly, as it were, on " the wings of the wind." Fortunately not the slightest accident occurred to mar the plea tires of he day. The contest was resumed on the Wednesday and TuU. sday. FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL.

European territory Of tl; e Porte under her sceptre This triumphant position she has assumed after a series of successes without example, and perfectly inexplicable* upon any known principle. Whoever, says Dr. Johnson, gains a victory, gains power, if he gain nothing else ; and surely the Russians might be contented with the paver alone which they have derived from the recent success. They have de- stroyed the two- fold talisman of Turkish safety ; they have pierced her, hitherto deemed, impregnable northern frontier; and they have dissipated the prestige of Mussulman enthusiasm, valour, and fidelity. Did the Emperor Nicholas withdraw, to- morrow, every Russian soldier behind the Pruth and tiie Cuban, Turkey were not the less the conquered province of Russia. Revolt she might for a season, as other provinces have revolted; hut any thing like an organised national resistance to the power of Russia she can never again present. of the theorists w ho have beguiled them— and restore that sound, wholesome, moral, and dignified tone of policy, under which the country so long prospered above all the nations of the earth.— Morning Herald. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES. It cannot have escaped even the most cursory ob- server that the privileges of representation have of late completely changed hands. The men vrliOj pos- sessing the deepest stake in the property of the state, were naturally entrusted with the largest share of political power, have recently became the mere hand, maids and time- servers of the commercial and manu- facturing interests. Those men who possess the greatest share of influence and confront in the Com- mons' House of Parliament, are those who regard least the real and general prosperity of the country. So long as such a borough as Westbnrv is in the hands of one elector, and that elector such a man as Sir Masseh Manassch Lopez, it is impossible to remain as we are without the people becoming the mere slaves of Parliament, or the representatives the slaves of- Ministers The landowners had once a voice in Parliament. They were the natural representatives of the people. They bad so mach at stake that they could not injure the people, could not injure trade, Could not encourage foreigu manufactures or foreign produce without seriously injuring themselves. Their measures might sometimes be considered as selfish, and often they were so; but upon the whole all their restrictive acts bad a direct tendency to benefit the people generally. The protective duties upon corn were ascribed to selfish motives— H eir desire to main- tain prices was attributed to selfish motives— their hostility to foreign competition and the export of machinery was ascribed to selfish motives; yet when was the country ever so prosperous as when the nominal price of corn was high, the nominal rate of wages high, and the means of the labourer equal to the enormous pressure of the debt ? At no time in the history of this country. We may have been, on political grounds, and on abstract principles,- a dis- satisfied and a clamorous people. But we were at the same time happy at our firesides, comfortable in our parlours and kitchens, able to meet the demands of our creditors, and could appear in church in a suit- able dresS, and visit a fair in a garb Which we could call our own, which we neither had borrowed nor had hired from the pawnbroker. These times have passed away The habits of former years have passed into oblivion. We have crushed one party and elevated another; and ever since we have declined towards pauperism, insolvency, and misery. The mercantile class— the order of huge capitalists— have gained the ascendancy. The House of Commons is packed with mere jobbers and specu- lators— with Diiiitzlc corn- dealers— with timber- mer- chants of the Baltic— with loan- contractors, whose nominal residence is in the City, but whose home is the world at large— with gamblers, who have no stake in the country, beyond the foreign ship they freight or the foreign produce they import. The men who have a sterling and an almost immutable interest in their country are in a minority iii the Home of Commons. The landowners, even if they were united, which they are not, have lost their supremacy. They are so burthencd, so hampered, that they are but the shadow of what their ancestors were. Their place is filled by . those w hom the mea- sures of the Government have raised over their heads. The gold of the Stock Exchange rules the Ministry and the Parliament. The creditors of the state. dictate to the debtors; so that out of nearly six hundred members, of which the Lower House is com- posed, there are a large proportion who have no connection with the soil or the agricultural industry of the kingdom. Besides this there are the Irish members, who, although they may be called the representatives of land, are, nevertheless, notoriously cramped and bound by the new power which has sprung up, or rather has recently been created, in that country. These men, for the most part, are at the mercy of a Popish faction, the natural and bitter- est enemies of England. They are sent to Parliament, not to represent the interests Of that part of the empire, but to obey the faction that rules, that dic- tates, and must be conciliate i There is no whole- some majority of united and independent men in the House of Commons to controul or defeat the influence gf this faction. It has the power to prescribe laws to the House, and to make the disunited and degraded landowners of England the mere liverymen of their tyranny and their ambition. Our population is increasing, and has considerably Increased ever since 1825. Nevertheless we consume less of those home commodities which yield a revenue to the Crown. And yet those commodities, which come under the imposts of the Excise, are in many respects the necessaries of life. They are rendered so by our poverty. The people cannot a fiord to drink rum, and yet they drink less gin. They cannot afford to buy silks, yet they consume fewer printed cottons. They cannot afford to drink wine, yet they drink less of malt liquors. Tobacco is almost a neces- sary, yet they smoke even a less quantity of this weed. Tea and coffee are indispensable necessaries, still even of these the diminished consumption is con- siderable. The deficiencies of the revenue fall entirely upon the shoulders of the landowners. Their com— their mildewed corn— their corn which they never under the present system will sell for more than from 45s. to 50s. must bear the whole pressure of the Ministers' errors. They must suffer, although the manufacturer cannot be benefited. And it is for the landowners, under these circumstances, to stand forward for tbem- '- selves. They must now speak out, or they w- ill have cause to repent it soon. There is a crisis at hand which tlley ought to be prepared for. The meditated attack upon the Church will be succeeded by an atfat k upon them, and in a way they little dream of. Let thetn count their numbers, and ascertain how many Members they can depend upon.— Morning Journal. KING ROTHSCHILD! [ From the Court Journal."] The following curious extract is from a private letter from Smyrna, We give it without note or comment :— " The confidence of the children of Israel in the words of the Prophet has not been in vain; the temple of Solomon will be restored in all its splendour. Baron Kothschild, w ho was accused of having gone to Rome to abjure the faith of his fathers, has merely pas- ed through that city on his way to Constantinople, where he is about to negotiate a loan with the Porte. It is stated, on good authority, that Baron Rothschild has engaged to furnish to the Sultan the enormous sum of 350,000,( 1( 10 piastres, at instalments, without interest, on condition of the Sultan's engaging, for himself and his successors, to yield to Baron Roth schild for ever, the sovereignty of Jerusalem, and the territory of ancient Palestine, which was occupied by the twclv^ tribes. The Baron's intention is, to grant to the rich Israelites, who are scattered about in. different parts of the world, portions of that fine country, where he proposes to establish seigniories, and to give them, as far as possible, their ancient anil sacred laws. " Thus the descendants of the Hebrews will at length have a country, and every friend of humanity must rejoice at the happy event. The poor Jews will cease to be the victims of oppression and injustice. Glory to the great Baron Rothschild, who makes so nuhle a use of his ingots. " A little army being judged' necessary for the restored kingdom, measures have 1 been taken for recruiting it out. of the wrecks of the Jewish battalion raised in Holland by Louis Bonaparte. AH the Israelites who were employed in the various depart- ments of. the Dutch Administration,' are to obtain superior posts under the Government- of Jerusalem, and the expenses of their journey are to be paid them in advance." STATE OF THE COUNTRY. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Iiy the conditions of the Treaty signed at Adrian- ople on the 14th ult. the ancient treaties, particularly those of Akermaun, are re- established ; the free pas- sage of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles for the ships of all nations which shall not be at war with Russia or the Porte is guaranteed ; several privileges and liberties for the inhabitants of the Principalities are secured ; all the places on the left bank of the Danube are to belong to Wallaehia and Moldavia, and to be exempt from Turkish garrisons; several Asiatic fort- resses are to be ceded lo Russia, and some European ones are to be demolished; and Silistria and the Principalities are to remain in the bands of Russia, until the whole of the indemnity is paid. The ques- tion, as to the settlement of Greece, its boundaries, tribute, government, & c. are said to be still left open, and are to be discussed in London. The sums which the Porte is to pay to Russia, as indemnity for the expenses of the war, and for the losses of the Russian merchants, are assessed, the former at 10,000,000 of ducats, nearly £ 5,000,000 sterling; the latter at 1,500,000 ducats, about £ 750,000 sterling— sums which it should appear to be entirely out of the power of the Sultan to dis- charge. They are to be paid in instalments— the greater sum in ten equal annual instalments of about half a million each; and the smaller in four instal- ments of unequal magnitude, increasing as they go on, and at smaller intervals. Upon the payment of the first of this latter class of instalments, Adrianople is to be evacuated; on the second being paid, the Russians retreat beyond the Balkan ; on the third, beyond the Danube ; and when the fourth and the whole of the sum of ten millions of ducats has been discharged, they are to quit the Turkish territory altogether. Unexplained by the events which have led to it, the terms of the treaty would seem moderate, and even honourable, to Turkey; taken, however, in connexio. i with the relative position of the parties, it may be read as the death- warrant of the Ottoman Empire. Russia, a power of growing magnitude, di Sates terms to the waning empire of the Turks almost within sight of its capital, and certainly with the full means in her hand of reducing the whole If to be silent ahont the distresses of the Country were to remove them, we might be disposed to copy the example, without participating in the motives of those" public instructors," who decry the publication of unpleasant truths. Such writers advocate the principle of concealment, not from regard for the people, hut through sycophancy to their rulers. But concealment can only serve the purpose of a tem- porary delusion, without alleviating the pressure of calamity. On the contrary, it must accelerate the crisis of rational suffering, w hich the errors of Go- vernment are calculated to produce. • The greatest advantage of a free Press—- its' truly national and proud characteristic— is to make the voice of truth be heard in the high pieces of power. 1- n absolute Government^ the operation of terror and- servility prevents, in general, the language of truth from reaching the ear of the Sovereign. Hence the errors of Government are not known, where they might be repaired, before their disastrous, and ofteu irre- mediable, consequences force themselves upon the Monarch's attention. In such States the supreme authority, unless when wielded by a despot of original and vigorous character, is virtually usurped hymen whn practise beyond all other accomplishments the artifices of fawning and seductive deception'. Inebri- ated by the delicious poison of flattery, their nominal master, but, in reality, their slave, enjoys the dreams of pleasure upon a bed of roses while his people suffer. The miserable condition of the great mass of his subjects is seldom known to him until the melan- choly truth speaks in a voice of thunder, and startles him from his repose. It is thus, from the suppression of truth, that despotic States are subject to such frequent and sudden revolutions, hi free States the errors of Administration— the consequences of the folly or incapacity of Ministers — cannot fail to be made know n in the quarter where tliey ought to be rectified except through the corrupt subserviency of the Press. If those journalists who make false repre- sentations of the state of this country at the present day— w ho attempt to give the colouring of prosperity to abounding wretchedness, have any private motive to serve we stop not to inquire ; it is enough for us to know that their conduct is calculated to plunge the nation in deeper misery, by hiding from the eyes of its rulers the convincing evidence of the errors which they ought to retract and the evils which it is their duty to remedy. We are not alarmists— neither are we flatterers— we court no party— we pay a blind devotion to the idol of. no political sect—* our ambition is to serve the public— guided by that principle, we cannot lend ourselves to the delusive and dangerous system of keeping the distresses of the country out of view. We may say of them, in the words of Mr. J- imining's celebrated motion respecting the influence of the Crown, " they have increased, are increasing, and ought to be diminished ;" and how are they to be diminished ? Is it by describing trade as ad- vancing when it is rapidly on the decline? Is it by representing the manufacturing districts as reviving into wholesome activity when the artizans work upon starving prices, and the peace of the country is dis- turbed by repeated explosions? Is it by staling that the agricultural interests are improving, when the account of every market aud fair only tells us of the fall of prices, and every audit- day discloses the fact that the farmers cannot support the appearance of solvency unless their landlords return them a portion of their rents? It is natural that Ministers should be slow to believe the ruinous effects of their own system ; but it is equally natural that those who ? ce the true interests of the country, and wish to preserve what- ever remains of its ancient grandeur and valuable institutions, should endeavour to convince them of their mistakes. If men are blind to their owu defects, bow are we to expect improvement ? It is now about the fifteenth year of peace, and the country instead of showing any symptoms of the restoration of its prosperity is growing weaker anil weaker. Un- doubtedly the pressure of the enormous debt, which is the consideration at which the military glory of the last w at was purchased, has a most depressing effcct upon all its interests; but the juvenile statesmanship of Mr. Peel made that debt doubly oppressive; nor is it to be wondered at when the Gamaliel at whose feet lie sat to learn the science of political economy, was the founder of the Macciilloch school— that school which put forth the mischievous and stupid paradox, that the absenteeism of landed proprietors benefited the country which they deserted— that school which, in groping after recondite nonsense, shuns the contact of common sense. Then, as if the mistakes of Mr Peel with regard to the currency were not sufficiently injurious to the State, comes Mr. Huskisson, another ambitious disciple of the theorists, and makes himself an uuenvied celebrity by breaking down the best protection of our commerce— carrying away, with an inundation of " philosophy" too powerful for Parlia- m< nt to resist, those Navigation Acts which Adam Smith— himself a liberal theorist— admitted to have been founded in the most deliberate wisdom. To crown the calamitous effects of those measures, Russia has been allowed to trick us in diplomacy, to beat down the empire of our " ancient ally" in the field, and to establish a supremacy in the East, which may, one day, enable her to realise what even the genius of Napoleon could only contemplate with regard to our Indian posessions. Under these circumstances at home and abroad, we see no present hope for the country, unless Ministers themselves see and feel the truth. What- ever credit we may give them for their motives, we certainly cannot, without violence to our own con- viction, pay any compliment to their wisdom. We care not who are Ministers, so that their measures are of advantage to the empire; and we should he as ready to praise as we are now to censure the present Administration, if they would retrace their steps— make a practical confession of their errors— " emancipate" themselves from the fascinating follies Last week an extensive robbery was committed at the Cross Keys Inn, Gracechurch- street, when property to a considerable amount was taken away, belonging to Sir Charles Flint, Bart. of the Irish Oflicej Great Queeu- stre^ J, St. James's- park, West- minster. The robbery was effected in the following daring manner, in broad day. It appears that Lady Flint, who is at present residing at Sandgate, in Kent, being about to return to her town residence, had given directions for a quantity of property of various descriptions, consisting of plate, books, and wearing apparel, to be sent im- mediately to town. Thirteen packages of property were accordingly made up, and sent by the Folke- stone van, which stops at the Cross Keys, directed to her ladyship's residence in Queen street. The property was accordingly deposited in the ware- house. Shortly afterwards, a respectable- looking man came lo the booking- office, and, pulling out a paper from his pocket, which he glanced at, said to the book- keeper—" Those thirteen packages for Lady Flint you need not send to Queen- street, as a cart will call for them this afternoon.** The reply was, " Very good," aud the man departed. In the afternoon another mail, like a carman, came to the office with an empty cart, and said lie had come for Lady Flint's 13 packages, and asked what there was to pay for the carriage. The book keeper replied, " £ 2. lis.'' which was instantly paid, and a receipt given for the money. The carman then drove his cart into the inn- yard, and received the packages into his cart, and drove away. After a day or two, an inquiry was made at the Cross Keys by Lady Flint's servants, to know if such packages had not been received from Sandgate, when they were informed that they had been delivered up in the manner above described. Information was immediately given to the police, and Ivimy, an officer belonging to Queen- square Police office, has beeu employed for several days ill endeavouring to trace the depredators, but hitherto without success. It lias been ascertained that the cu t w hich took the goods away w as one of the City carts. The value of the property stolen has not yet been ascertained, as no estimare can be formed until the arrival of Sir Charles Flint, who is at present in Yorkshire, but it is said to be seyera hundred pounds. It is supposed that the robbery was planned by a person who got up on the road to ride to town, and who by some accident got a sight of the way- bill. It is the intention of Sir Charles to proceed against the proprietors for the recovery of the Value of the property stolen. Information was received on Thursday morning of a most daring and extensive robbery, committed on the premises of Mr. F. Bureher, tailor, No. 7, Clifford- street, Bond street. The thieves effected their entrance by wrenching open the fj- gnt.. door,; and then deliberately packed up goods,"&> iislsting principally of velvets and rich silks, amounting to £ 300, which they deposited in a hackney coach in attendance. They had also contrived to pack np a further quantity of valuable property,- amounting to upwards of £ 2& 0, when an a'Farni was given. They it hear hastily decamped, and jumping info the hackney couch, got clear off with the booty. This ' robbery was etleeTed at two o'clock in the morning, under the very nose of the new police, whose vigilance it was confidently predicted would put an eiul ID these daring nightly depredations. After the alarm was given ten minutes actually elapsed before a new police- man was in attendance. STONYHURST. The College of Stonyhurst is situated in Lancashire, at the foot of the high hill of Pendle, which, as it was formerly the favourite resort of sorcerers, has, in the opinion of a neighbouring parson, afforded, by a natural succession, a residence to the mysterious ec- clesiastics who are adepts in the witchcraft of Ignatius. The sfc.- wrv by which it is surrounded is of a solemn and almost dreary character. Immediately before the great entrance, which opens into a considerable square, and is surmounted by two very lofty towers, au avenue, in tlie oW English fashion, rises between two large basins of artificial water, whose stagnant tranquillity gives to the approach a dismal aspect'. The avenue leads, on the right hand, to a Very exten- sive deer park, the neglected walls of which indicate that the spirit of the chasje has long since departed from the spot where learning and religion have fixed their abode. A rookery spreads behind the castle ( for such it may be justly designated), of ancient and venerable trees. The remains of a noble garden occupy the front: and although its terraces are now dilapidated, and the play- ground which is used by the students has usurped upon its fine parterres, a noble walk of thickly- interwoven yew- trees, which is called the Wilderness, has been spared, and still offers the memorials of magnificence in its long and melancholy vistas. It was originally intended that the building should consist of two wings; only one, however, was completed, as the expense exceeded the fortune of the projector. The portion of the edifice which is finished is of great extent. It is of a Gothic character in the exterior; but its apartments, and especially the splendid hall, which is flagged with white and polished marble, are of far greater dimensions than the rooms w hich are generally fonnd in buildings of a similar style, As you look from the great central window of massive stone, you see the ridge of Pendle stretched out in a long line of black and dismal barrenness. The rivers Odder and Ripple, whose banks are lined with fine woods, flow in the valley beneath. The town of Clithcro is seen on the left, where the plains of Yorkshire present a rich contrast of cultivation in their wide and distant reaches. Ribchester lies on the right; and behind, a line of heathy hills, called Longridge Fell, extends itself for several miles. This fine old mansion was the property of the Sherbotirne family, and was afterwards occupied for a period by one of the Dukes of Norfolk. It Came by purchase into the hands of the late Mr. Weld, of Lulwqrth Castle. He had been educated at St. Omer's, among the Jesuits; aud after they had been successively obliged to fly from their seminary there, and from Bruges aud Liege, they were received by their old pupil at Stonyhurst. During his life, they held the house itself, free from all charges, paying a moderate rent for a considerable tiact of ground ; and, on his death ( he had first become an ecclesiastic, though he had a large family), he devised the lands to that sacred corporation to which he was indebted for his instructions in piety, and for which, as a religionist, he had always entertained a warm predilection. His obsequies were performed with great pomp in the college chapel, and a funeral oration was pronounced on his merits, amongst w hich his bequest to the fol- lowers of Loyola was not the least conspicuous.— New Monthly Magazine. DINNF. R TO SIR E. KNATCIIULLL.— It affords us much pleasure to find that a public dinner is to be given to Sir Edward Knatchbiill, the patriotic, active, aud faithful Representative of the County of Kent; and it is peculiarly gratifying that this dinner is intended " as a mark of approbation of his consistent support of Protestant principles, and- his able and strenuous exertions during the last Session of Parlia- ment to preserve inviolate the integrity of our Pro- testant Constitution." The stewards ( 50 in number) are noblemen and gentlemen of the highest character Hi the county. Kent, like the other Protestant counties, has been betruyed, but it is Invicta still.— Maidstone Gazette. APPLES — Four apples the produce of an American tree, weighing upwards of one pound each, and grown in the garden of Mr. Smith, of Conisborough, were sold on Saturday se'nnight, in Doncaster rriaiket, at sixpence each.— An apple has been grown this season in the garden of Mr John Gilbert, of Pilton, called " the Glory of the West," which measures 15 inches in circumference, and weighs upwards of 19 ounces. The tree is heavily l^ den with fruit, many of which, it is said, are of equal size w ith the one above. The inhabitants of the town of Stafford were alarmed in the night of Sunday week, by the yery unusual cry, to them, of " Eire!" It originated with the guard of the " Rocket" coach, which passes through the town about two o'clock, who observed flame and smoke issuing from the cellar window of the house of Dr. Somerville. In the shortest possible space of time, the town engines and a great number of the inhabitants ready to work thetn, and to afford their willing assistance in auy other way that might be required, were on the spot. By the prompt and vigorous efforts used, the fire, providentially discovered before it had made much progress, was speedily subdued. It was discovered to be owing to the hearth- stone of the dining- room grate, of the college fashion, and consequently very low, having become so intensely hot as to set fire to an oak beam upou which it rested. From the fact of the beam being almost burnt through, it is be- lieved that it must have been on fire some time. Burning particles had at length fallen into the cellar, and there ignited a quantity of straw and lumber, the flames from which were the cause of the timely discovery made as before stated. Dr Somerville's family were with some difficulty arous'd, and their consternation, upon learning the cause of the alarm, may be better conceived than described. Every member of the family speedily quitted the house, not knowing but the disaster might be much greater than it afterwards proved to be, the area of the stair- ease and hall being filled with smoke. The damage to the dining- room may amount to £ 100, independently of the value of several paintings which were destroyed. It is somewhat extraordinary, that, on the preceding evening, a strong smell of burning wood was per- ceived by Dr. Somerville's family, and that they were therefore induced to examine the cellar, but failed to discover the cause. Their apprehensions were allayed by understanding that at a neighbour- ing baker's they were drying wood in the oven. I! I COVFRY OF PROPERTY BY EXTRAORDINARY INGI NUITY AND PERSEVRANC E.— The St. Nicholas, a Russian vessel, with a cargo of iron, tallow, hemp, & c. bound to Liverpool, was wrecked in a gale of wind in November, 1827, near Wick, in the North of Scotland, and every part of the ship and cargo that was not under water was soon swept entirely away. The bottom of the ship's hull, however, upon which lay the iron ( about 60 tons), was kept together by this dead weight, and both iron and what remained Of the hull were speedily buried in the sand. At intervals during the winter of 1827, and more parti cularly in the spring and summer of 1828, many attempts were made to recover some part of the iron, both by fishermen and other inhabitants of the coast; but all of them were unsuccessful, as by this time the iron was buried many feet deep in the sand, and over the sand there was never less than two or three feet of water at low tide. Thus matters remaiued until the summer of 1829, when Mr. James Bremner, ship- builder, of Wick, made proposals for an attempt upon a more extended scale, to get up the iron, and his offer was accepted. Mr. Bremner built a floating platform, which he moored effectually over the wreck; from this platform he let down what might be termed scrapers, which were moved and agitated by the strength of the tide, and which, by degrees, cleared away the great bulk of the sand from the top of the iron ; then, by means of strong and heavy iron claws, which were let down open, and which closed of themselves when they were drawn up again, the bars of iron were grasped and fished up; and the result is, that, notwithstanding this coast is one of the wildest that surrounds our island, the ingenuity and perseverance displayed by the above- named gentleman was so great, the proprietors are indebted to him for the recovery of nearly every portion of their long- lost property, the greater part of which is now safely arrived in Liverpool.

COLLUSIVE ARRESTS.— In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Monday, the petitions of two persons named May and Handley, of Nottingham, were dis- missed, it appearing that they had come up to Ion- don for the purpose of being arrested, and " got through" the Insolvent Debtors' Court. The late Lord John Townseud, whose good humour was proverbial, was dining one day at a friend's, where, among other servants, the coach- man waited at table. In handing a sauce tureen, houest John unluckily spilt part of its contents over his lordship's clothes, w ho, instead of showing any displeasure, jocosely said, " John, you should take care never to grease auy thing but your wheels.' There is at present living at Pitna, in Sweden, a young man nineteen years of age, who', is nine feet five inches iii height. At the age of eigbfcyeartj he was five feet four inches ill height He is about to travel throughout Europe, to exhibit himself to the curious. Letitia Mills, of Charlton, sister to Mr. Mills, of Aldborotigh, on Sunday last made some dumplings, and seeing a small cup with flour in it on the bakehouse shelf, put in its contents. The flour in the cup was mixed with arsenic, for the purpose of poisoning mice. The consequences are painful to relate; in spite of all medical aid, she died the same night in the most excruciating agony;, and Mr. Hearii, with whom she lived, partook of the deadly food, and expired on Monday last. We hope this fatal occurrence will operate as a warn ing to all to keep poison in safer places.— Suffolk Chronicle. ..( I. EAR) 1 A Sw eepstakes of 50 sov. paclt ( li ft.) Mr. Mytton names b e.

O'Connell left Dublin yesterday mornifig, whither he had only arrived on Sunday, for the county Waterford, to attend a meeting connected with t ie representation of that county to be held at Dungarvan. We have authority to state that his prospectus of a society or dub for the repeal of the union will be published iu the course of a very few days after his return.— Freeman's Journal. FLOWERS OF RHETORIC.—- The Times, in a leading article, calls the Irish Priest, « a lever, a vedqci a screw, a sledge- hammer, a convertible tool, a frightful tumour, a braying animal, the likeness of a bagpipes, a reverence, and an evacuator of irre- levant rubbish.'* After all that the « Awful" has been saying in favour of Popery, this looks something like the African falling foul of his gods. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.— For the follow- ing facts we are indebted to a gentleman who visited Ireland a few days ago, conversed with some of the parties, and was otherwise at pains. to probe the matter to the bottom ; and from his general intel- ligence, aud the character lie bears, we believe the narrative will be correct so far as it goes. About twenty- five years ago the Perseverance, of Liver pool, while returning from Havaniiah with a valu- able cargo, struck on a rock in the Irish channel, and soon became a total wreck. Among oilier articles, the Perseverance had a considerable quantity of specie on board— tlie fruit of three sue cessful slave- trips to the coast oMfrica. A barrel filled with dollars stood on the deck, aud when the vessel appeared to be sinking, the crew started the cask, and crammed their pockets so full of money, that several of them perished between the ship and the shore. The captain, it appears, had a private store of doubloons concealed under his bed, and was drowned iu the cabin while iti the act of carrying his treasure away. The catastrophe was much talked of at the timej but in the course of a few years Hie recollection of it entirely died away, and was revived, we must say, very lately, in rather a singular qud romantic manner. The steam- packet Dasher, Slaving put into Holvbead to undergo " re- pair, the captain one day related the circumstance, and expressed his surprise that no attempt had been made to recover part of the treasure engulphed more than a quarter of a century ago. His words reached the ears of an enterprising Welshman, who immediately equipped a boat, provided a diving bell of a peculiar construction, and sailed for the spot that had been pointed out, and which is not far distant from Donaghadee. At first his appearance attracted little notice, and as he was rather careful in concealing the bell, many a one imagined he was catching fish, when he was actually engaged in fishing dollars. For nearly three months he plied his task when the weather was favourable, and with so much success, that it is confidently stated that he has recovered specie to the extent of £ 50,000. At last the Donaghadee men got an " inkling" of what the cunning Welshman was about, and con- structed a wooden bell of their own, which is sunk by plates of iron affixed to the top, and is said to answer the purpose exceedingly well. By his rivals iu the new mode of angling, the Welshman was re- garded as an interloper, and they succeeded, by threats, in driving hitn away. Still they were a day behind the fair, audit is generally supposed that the harvest was so well gathered previously, that little but the gleanings remain behind. When our nformant passed the spot, and saw the men at work, they had only the quantities of sludge the bell had raised along with some other articles belonging to the vessel. Among other things, a bar of iron was shown indented from end to end with the mark of dollars, and from this circumstance they were ill good hopes that a considerable quantity of specie remains behind. We shall be glad to hear of their future success, and thaf the business has proved a paying one before the dark days of winter set in. In returning home, the Welshman touched at the Isle of Man, wh ere another friend of ours saw him last week, and alpo inspected some of the dollars.- Most of them, he says, are completely out of shape, and have been as much transformed by pressure, or the action of water, as silver is when exposed to the action of fire.— Dumfries Courier. BABYLON.— Rollin seems to suppose that Babylon was built by Nimrod, 2233 years before the Christian era; others attribute its erection to Semiramis. It is probable that it was founded by the former, and much increased and beautified by the latter. Its walls were of such a thickness that six chariots, as some pretend, or two only, as others have asserted, could be driven abreast upon their top ; and, ac- cording to the most moderate computations, their height was 83 feet. These walls were built of brick, Cemented with a species of bitumen which exudes from the earth, and were snrronnded by an immense ditch. Each side of the enclosed square was 60 stadia in length, and had 25 gates of massive brass, with many towers of defence raised upon the walls. A splendid bridge was erected over the Euphrates, whose banks were adorned with quays ami warehouses. Immense canals were cut to pre- vent the inundations of the river, and a li^ ke of a prodigious size was excavated. Ou each side of the river was situated ail enormous palace, sur- rounded by walls ornamented with sculpture. Here also were the suspended gardens, so famed among the Greeks, which are said to have been constructed by Nebuchodonozer. I11 the vicinity of one of the palaces was the celebrated Temple of Belus, a lofty edifice,, diminishing in gradations to the top, which we are assured was equal in height to the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Many wonderful stories are told of the enormous riches of this Temple, which Rollin appears to credit with his usual facility, such as that it contained statues, Vases, tables, & c. all of massive gold, amongst which was one statue alone 40 feet in height. To how much of this description we may yield implicit belief, it is not possible to say— for Babylon is, no more! She has not left us, like Thebes, a mighty mass of ruins to authenticate her ancient splendour, and to point out the day of her glory, which now is passed away. Did not these mighty remains exist, had not the Pyramids filled the gazer with astonish- ment, or the great wall of China testified the powers df man, the moderns would perhaps have given but little credence to these accounts. NATURAL CURIOSITY.— A petrified oak. ba? just been found In the fireTstone q. uarry at Wideopeti, about five miles from Newcastle- upon- Tyne,, at a depth of 42 feet from the bed ofthe stone. Twenty- four feet of the upper part of the ( fee has already been taken out; the extent of the remainder cannot yet be ascertained, as about nine months will be required to remove the stone which covers it. Its horizontal exceeds its vertical fjiameter in the proportion of 17 to 10. its position is nearly horizontal, the bark, knots, & c. retaining their original appearance; it is hollow; at the core, and crystallized ; its longitudinal separations are precisely those of wood rent by powerful external pressure; and in breaking it up, its transverse section represents the fracture of iron stone. This fire- stone rock is known to extend from Wideopee, which is its western extremity, eastward about four miles. Its width at Wideopen does not exceed a quarter of a mile, shaped as if formed in a ravine, which may extend bptween Prestivick Car, and the German Ocean, as rock is found in the whole line, though differing ill quality.—[ An oak was, four or five years ago, found in the neighbourhood of Soulham, Warwickshire, under three layers of limestone. It was not, however, petrified, but was very hard, though it might be cut with a knife, and it burnt as freely as coal.] THE KEMBLE FAMILY. In consequence of unfortunate theatrical speculations, the accomplished daughter of Mr. Charles Kemble made Iter debut at Covent Garden, on Monday, in the character of Juliet,— the mother performing Lady Capulet, and the father Mercutio. When Miss Kemble appeared, the applause was so great that the young lady nearly fainted; and if it had continued long, she would probably have been too much affected to go through the performance, and she took refuge in her mother's arms. One of the London critics thus describes her appearance:— She is neither too tall nor too short— too slim nor too robus?. She has a fine face, an expressive eye, much elegance of manner, sufficient self- possession, and yet enough of timidity. Her voice is musical, yet powerful, and her reading is sensible, unaffected, natural, and consistent. The whole of her performance evinced much feeling and yet great discretion; and it was evident she had not, like the young heroine of the other theatre, been tutored into the perfection of stage effect. The consequence is, that Miss Kemble promises much. She has resources 111 her own mind. She is not a mere machine put together by skilful artists, but a shrewd fceliug artist of herself full of nature, and beauty of idea, which is not to be taught even by tlie niOBt clever in the pro- fession." AN AMERICAN RACK- COURSE SCENE.— A squab- ble arose between a tall farmer- looking man and a sailor. Words of great bitterness were hastily followed by blows, upon which the parties had their coats off in a twinkling. I watched with much curiosity to see how such matters were settled iti America, where prize- fighting is not more in fashion than in Scotland. In merry England, " a ring! d tig!" would have been vociferated by a hundred mouths, seconds would have stepped forward, fair play would have been insisted upou, and the whole affair finally adjusted in four or five minutes. Oue or other of the combatants might have got a sound drubbing, aud both certainly would have been im- proved in manners, for the remainder of that day at least, It was quite differently settled, however, on this occasion. Several persons rushed out of the crowd, and instead of making them fight it out man- fully, separated the disputants by force, who, nevertheless, continued abusing oue another out- rageously. Not content wifli this, each ofthe high contending parties, having collected a circle of auditors round him, deljtefed a course of lectures .011 the merits of the quarrel^ till, instead of a single pair of brawlers, there were at least a dozen couples, interchanging ftaths and scurrility in the highest style of seaport eloquence. Where this tumult would have ended, if there had been 110 in- terference, it is difficult to guess; but presently a man came with a whip in his hand, with which be very soon cleared the course. This was quite necessary, indeed, as the horses Were ready to start; but he carried his operations further than I had any idea would have been permitted. He cut at the men as well as the boys, not in jest, but with some severity. How all this came to be submitted to, in this laud of the free, I could not find out. One gentleman to whom 1 applied for a solution of this mystery, said the offenders were well served, us they had 110 business to be in the way. Auother went so far as to use the facts I have just stated to illustrate the love of good order, and the ready obedience which the Americans yield to lawful authority. 1 should just like, how ever, to see a similar experiment at Epsom or Doncaster! There would. soon be a fine row, and if the whip and the whipper did not speedily vanish over the ropes, I am much mistaken.— Hall's Travels. The parishioners of Doncaster resolved, at a meeting on Tuesday, to apply to the corporation for the use of certain waste lands at Hexthorpe, in order to employ the pooT of the town in their Cultivation. CULTURE OF SUGAR IN AMERICA.— In the Loudon Price- Current, dated September 29, are some important details of the culture of sugar in Louisiana. It appears that a few years since the amount was only 10,000 hlids ; during the last year it had increased to S8, f) » 0 hhds of 10 cwt. each; and also nearly 40,000 lihds. of molasses: and the progress is Bo rapid, that it is calculated, at the expiration of two yeah, there will be sufficient raised for the supply of the United States. It appears that the chief cultivation is performed by free labour and the plough; and that by means of horses, some, even of the poor planters, are enabled to undertake this favoured, culture without thfe aid of slaves, and that, so conducted, it is infinitely more productive than cotton or provisions. About 7,000 horses were employed during the last season. It appears that horses have been only recently employed ; but that since the introduction of horses and steam- power, in the culture and grinding of the cane, the same number of hands now produce mira than double the amount of sugar. There was no night- watch in London till after 1189; it wns not regularly established till 1253. It appears that at such period London was so subject to riots and disorders that Henry 111. then commanded watches to be kept in the cities aud borough towns for the preservation of the peace ; the King, at the same time, ordaiping that, " if any man chanced to be robbed, or by any means damnified, by auy theefe or robber, he to whom the filiarge. of keeping that county, & c. where the robbery was done, should competently restore the losse." That period was the origin of the " nightly watch." JACK SHEPPARD.— When this notorious felon was under sentence of death, the Right Hon. Charles Wolfran Cornwall,- then Speaker of the House of Commons, was strongly solicited to apply to his Majesty for a pardon, as he was related to him. " No," said Mr. Cornwall, " I should deserve public censure if I attempted to contribute to the prolongation of the life of a man who hust so frequently been a nuisance to society, and has given so many proofs that kindness to bini would be cruelty to others. Were my own sou tcr offend Oue- tenth part so often as lie has done, I should thiuk it iny duty rather to solicit his punwhirrcnt than bis pardon." STEAM BiscuiT- RAK. RNG.—- The following is a singular, one might almost say a droll, example of the use of the power of steam, which appears to be about to become nothing less than the universal agent of human operations :—" The Victualling Board have recently constructed a very powerful corn- mill at Deptford, and another is now erecting at the Victualling Establishment at Wecvill, for the purpose of grinding all the flour consumed by the Navy. Neither is this all, but the biscuits aro to be kneaded and made upon a new plan, also under the direction of the Victualling Board. We stated a few days ago that we had received, as speci- mens, two loaves made by machinery, which sur- passed in quulity those kneaded according to the ancient method. The biscuits we find, are also to be made without hand labour. A very ingenious process has been adopted for manufacturing them by the mechanical power of steam, and its success has, 0, n trial, proved complete. It is the invention, we understand, of Mr. Grant, of his Majesty's Victualling Depprtmeiit at Weevill, and works in the following manner:— The flour, in the first instance, is intimately mixed and kneaded by a machine; it is then rolled out by another to the requisite thickness, and each biscuit is cut and marked at once with the King's Arms by a stamp, in the same manner as sovereigns are struck at the Mint. Nothing then remains but the baking pro- cess, which is performed in the usual manner.— " The biscuits manufactured according to this method have been carefully lasted by the first naval authorities, and it has been found that they were greatly superior in quality to those made by the old process. They break like short bread, instead of being sharp aud bard, as those in use hitherto. Thus, considerable hand- labour is not only saved, but an article is produced far better in every particular than the former one, and calcu- lated to prove much more agreeable and nourish- ing." The tragedy of George Barnwell has been acted over again in France with u melancholy reality. The culprit in this case is one Andre Lepauvre, a resident of Ecouen. His uncle, Marcel Lepauvre, who possessed a property of abyut 15,000 I'raiicK, having arrived from Pal is, Andre qn the following day set out with him to walk to a wind- mill in the neighbourhood, with the proprietor of which he had some business to transact. When they had reached the wood of Ecouen, Andre made some pretence to return home, leaving his intended victim to pursue his way alone. It was nearly dusk, and the murderer soon retracing his steps, sprang forward upon the old man suddenly in a lonely part of the path, and strangled him before he could give utterance to a cry. Since his arrest he has confessed his guilt to the magistrate, and avowed, that the knowledge of his uncle's having made him his heir was the motive of his crime. The assassin, who is a journeyman, about 50 years of age, has been committed to the prison of Pontoise. His trial will come 011 at the next assizes at Versailles. It should seem that law is not much more cheap " abroad" than it is " at home." It appears from a report in a foreign Journal that the authorities of the city of Strasburgh have just expended the sum of 3765 francs to recover an original sum of 42 francs.
