The Treaty of Peace between Russia and the Porte had been ratified by the Sultan, and the ratification had been sent to the Russian Head- quarters. Russian Officers had, we are informed, quitted Constantinople for the tardanelles, and for the Head quarters of the army in Asia, with instruc- tions that hostilities should cease. It is stated that the first instalment of the mercantile compensation to ( he Russians was then ready for payment. from the I'rmsian State Gazette it wonfd appear that the Ministers of the Porte were indisposed to accede to the conditions proposed by Russia, but that the Snltan was so thoroughly alarmed by the advance e( the Russians on Constantinople, that he ordered them to accede to any terms. General Diebitsch is to remain with his head- quarters at Adrianople, extending his posts to the Balkan. General Roth will form with his corps the chain from the Balkan to the Danube. Count Pahlcn, with twelve thousand men, is to occupy Wallachia, and General Kisselow, Moldavia: With the exception of the third corps, it appears that the whole of the Russian army is to remain on the Turkish territory until payment of tbe indemnity has been completed. Hamburgh Papers to the 16th inst. bring details of a solemn thanksgiving at St. Petersburgh for the success of the late war, and " its termination in a glorious peace." Counts Dkbitsch and Paskewitsch have been raised to the dignity of Field- Marshals; many other officers have been promoted on the occasion, and the order of St. Andrew has been given to some of the Ministers. The eity was brilliantly, illuminated in the evening. € t) e Salopian journal. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1829.

On Saturday night or Sunday morning last, the house of Mrs. Hayward, at Watford, near Dorring- ton, was entered by means of a ladder placed against a front chamber window. The thieves appear deliberately to have lighted a candle, broken open a cupboard containing wines, grapes, and walnuts ( with which they feasted themselves), and to have gone out at tbe back door, taking with them, ( amongst other things) two fowling pieces, two pair of men's shoes, and a flitch of bacon.— The advertisement offering a reward of £ 20 for the apprehension of the offenders will be found in a subsequent column. On Monday week, the October Meeting of the Herefordshire New Agricultural Society took place, when a silver chased Bow l, gilt inside, was presented by the members to J.

The terms having been agreed on, he died in a few minute* after, maintaining even to the last moment of hislife the same mercenary disposition he had ever bee n noted for. SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIETY FOR IRELAND. The anniversary of the Shrewsbury anil Shropshire Auxiliary to this Institution took place ifl the Town Hall, Shrewsbury; on Monday list. The Bishop of LiotiFr; I. D and COVENTRY ( the Patron of this Auxiliary) toc. k the chair at 12 o'clock, and opened fhe business of ( he day, by recommend- ing to the attention of a crowded audience the excellent institution whose anniversary they were emhled to commemorate. I his Society, his Lord- ship said, had the unqualified praise of the Parlia- mentary Commissioners appointed to examine into the state of the several charitable institutions of Ire'aud ; and if his sanction could add any thing to its station in the opinion of those he now addressed, he felt it his duty to give it, believing the society to be one of those means best calculated to effect that moral and scriptural regeneration so much to be desired in the sister country. The Rev. CHARLES BISRY read the Report of the Shropshire Auxiliary, from which it appeared that the receipts of the last year amounted to £ 128. 13s. • Id. and that, after deducting the incidental expenses, the sum of £ 1' 23. Is 6jd. had been remitted to the Parent Society. R. A. Si, AN P. Y, Esq. M. P. moved the first reso- lution, and in doing so complimented the Ladies under whose auspices the Shrewsbury and Shrop- shire Auxiliary had been originally formed. J K. COFFIN, Esq. then entered upon a sketch of the proceedings of the Society in Ireland. It had existed there about 20 years; and in January last it comprised within its connexion 2283 Sunday Schools and 185,490 Scholars. Since January last 196 Schools had been added to its establishment. The number of its gratuitous teachers, comprising men of every rank, from the peer to the peasant, was about 17,01) 0; and it had acted in a Temarkable degree as a Bible Society : the Only books used under its sanction were the Bible, the New Testament', and a Spelling Book, the reading lessons of which last were taken from the Scriptures: and this Society, since its formation, had circulated 36,000 Bibles, 260,000 New Testaments, and 700,000 Spelling Books. The Rev. HENRY COOKF, of Killala, expressed his gratification that, as an humble Presbyter of that Church in Ireland, which was a Branch of the Church of Scotland, he had the opportunity of standing up to plead the cause of Scriptural Education in Ireland before a Dignitary of the Established Church of England; and he proceeded at great length to show- how different Was the situation and demeanor of the OSWESTRY BRUNSWICK CLUB.

I LU snow how the province ot Ulster ( though naturally the most barren portion of Ireland) had flourished, as compared with those parts inhabited by Roman Catholics, ever since the colonization of Ulster by Protestants in the reign of James the First, and in consequence of the continued abode, from that day to this, of a ' arg# population of Protestants in that province. There were in Ulster 600,000 ortho- dox Presbyterians, bound by the closest ties to Ihe British dominion and to the British connexion, and living on terms of the most brotherly amity with the members of the Established Church in Ireland. He himself was an instance of this: for when Ire bad on a recent occasion been refused admission to the pulpit of a Presbyterian meeting- house by the Arian or Socinian Minister w ho had obtained possession' of that place of worship, the Rector of the parish in which that meeting- house was situated, had opened to him his church and lent him his pulpit; and such was the feeling that now existed among every description of orthodox Protestants in Ireland, that if they were but properly supported in their efforts to circulate the scriptures and to afford scriptural education to the poor, not all the efforts of the Roman Catholic Priest- hood, although backed by the Arian, the Socinian, and the Infidel, could prevent the great work of evangelizing that country proceeding to its consum- mation. The Rev. W. H. BRETT then entered upon a short review of the rise and progress of Sunday Schools, from their first institution by Mr. Raikes, to the formation of the Sunday School Society iu Ireland i the year 1809: and of the success that had attended this latter institution he related several striking in stances, as a proof of the incalculable advantages accruing to individuals as well as to society by the application of scriptural education. Archdeacon BATHER, on behalf of the Shrewsbury and Shropshire Auxiliary, expressed the cordial pleasure with which they received the Deputation from Iretiiid. He also expressed his own concurrence in Ihe scriptural views of the Society, which, he con ceived, must, if it benefitted Ireland, benefit England likewise. The Dean of ARDAGH then addressed the meeting at considerable length ; and gave a detailed descrip- tion of the anxiety manifested, in a variety of instances, by the Roman Catholic peasantry to obtain the blessings of Scriptural instruction. The Dean ill- entered largely upon the History of the Irish Church, and quoted the testimonies of various Ancient Authors to show that a Christian Church was planted in Ireland early in the second century by some dis- ciples of Polycarp, who was himself a disciple of St, John the Evangelist. This Church, said the Dean, had in various ages sent out Missions to different parts of Britain and to the Continent, and continued dominant iu Ireland until fhe 12th century, when the English victorious army thrust Popery upon them at the point of the sword. A branch of this Prjniitiv Church was in existence at the Reformation, and two of its dignitaries conformed to the Protestant Estab- lishment. The Dean proceeded to show how much the exposure of the want of any just pretension on the part of the Romish Church to the character of a Primitive Church, had done towards the furtherance of the views of those who wished to spread scriptural knowledge and Protestant sentiments in Ireland ; and dwelt with much energy on the necessity that existed, particularly in the South of Ireland, for giving scriptural instruction to the immense population now kept in a state of utter ignorance by the Romish Priesthood. Panton Corbett, Esq. M. P. the Rev. R. N. Pember- ton, the Rev. J. Hunter, and other Gentlemen, took part in the proceedings of the day. A similar meeting was held in the Town Hall, at sev< n o'clock on Monday evening, the MAYOR in the chair; when the Dean of Ardagh and the Rev. Henry Cooke again addressed a crowded assembly at great length on subjects connected with the proceedings and views of the Society in Ireland. A sermon in aid of tiie funds of the Society was preached in St. Chad's Church on Sunday evening, by the Dean of Ardagh ; and the collection then made, together with th'jse made at the meetings held in the Town Hull on Monday, amounted to nearly £ 00. The Annual Meeting of the Wen) Auxiliary of this Society took place yesterday, and was most respectably attended. W. & J.

CR' SS TT PELHAM, Esq. said, in accordance with what had fallen from his worthy colleague, he felt a degree of gratitude and pride on the present occasion which he was quite unable to express; but which those present would duly appreciate when he stated that, unlike his honourable colleague, he came into the county as it were a stranger; that be had tio claim of family interest to put forth as a ground for aspiring to the situation of their Representative ; and that he became interested in the county only through bis connexion with an ancient family once seated within it Although, however, he was almost a stranger to them iu person, he was pleased to find that lie was not so in principle. [ Cheers). They did not like their country merely because they liked old establishments; they liked it because in it were cherished those feelings which induced that kind, ! that indulgent, that confiding spirit, which was so ! honourably evinced towards their Representatives this day, for conduct wlrch those present were pleased to approve, and for setting an humble example, which he " R'ev.

THE PRESIDI NT. then said—" Mr. Vice- President anil Gentlemen, you, no doubt, anticipate the toast I ' am about to propose; and were 1 to follow the dictates of my own feelings, 1 should propose it without any comment, as 1 well know it can want no recuiuinendjition to make it acceptable to you ; per- haps, " however, it may be expected that 1 should shortly slate what 1 conceive to he our present cir- cumstances and the cause of this meeting ; and with this view I must claim your indulgence for a very few minutes. " When last we met here we were living in the possession of a political Constitution, under which this country had arrived at the highest point of prosperity and glory. Reports were then in Circulation that a bill was to be brought into Parliament to alter this Constitution ; but we fondly hoped that, assisted by those who had iiitherto supported us, we should be able to stem the storm, and to rise the conquerors from the expected contest, as we had often done from previous ones. In this hope we were disappointed. We were deserted by those we thought our best friends, and the Constitution of the country was de- stroyed. " And for what has this change been made ? We were told that Ireland would be tranquillized ; that her agitators would be satisfied ; and all would be peace and happiness. We, who are here assembled, have always used a different language; and let us now, as impartially as we can, see which is right. Accounts, it is true, vary from Ireland. Some affirm that she is quieter— others the reverse ; and each party, perhaps, is too ready to give credence to that report which best suits its own views. 1 .( t lis, then, look to the columns of a Paper that has advocated what is called Emancipation, and must, therefore, of necessity, contend for the national advantage to be g lined from if. Gentlemen, in the very last publica- tion of that paper I read the following paragraphs:— Agricultural produce of every kind has experienced a greater depre* ioti in Ireland than has taken place in England, Sheep have fallen. from 6s. to 9s. per head, and all descriptions of Stock are 25 per cent lower than last year. At Tralee good Mutton sells from three- pence to thrge- pence halfpenny per lb. Military parties are uow'distribiitiiig in various pails of the c- iunty of Tipperary. An additional company will be sunt ro Cashel, ait officer aud thirty men to Tliomastown, a detachment a>) to Killeiiaule.-- Dvblin Evening Mail. Next comes one descriptive of an attack by our friends the Rockites— not on the Orangemen— but upon the property of Sir Henry Parnell:— On Friday night last, the farm of Mr. Cloxton, belonging to Sir fteiiry, Pariiell, ." VI 1' within a mile of Maryborough, and within call of two magistrates of the Queen's County, was attacked between the hours of nine and ten o'clock,. by a party of Kuckites, who demanded fire- arms, and commenced to break open tile doors. The police, going their rounds, heard the attack,- arid imthediatelv made tor the place; upou coming up, the Rockites called, " Who Comes?" " The police.') was the reply.;- they wei* e desired to staud off, and the Rockite party called . out ." I'jx- quet, what are you about?" The ltockites tii'eii four shots, which were returned liy the police, after the sergeant liyd . received a shot through the throat, ( lite of the Ko\- kltes was stabbed through tlieeye and taken prisoner, but the others ' fieij. A horse pistol and a very large blunderbuss were taken,'' loaded > vith slugs; traces of blood were observed on the road frir three miles next morning. The person taken is an inhabitant of- Maryborough,' and was immediately committed to gaol, , Nexl morning, Capt. Perceval, a magistrate, Lieute- nants M'^ ypnujng an( l Hollo, with the company of U2d High- landers, stationed in Maryborough, and Lieut. Wray, with the Maryborough and' Strad'bally police, scoured the country for miles round, when one prisoner, aud several stand of arms, were brought iu, A reward of £ 100 is offered by Lord Gort and several of the magistrates and gentry of the counties of Ilalway aud Clare, for the discovery anil prosecution of the armed party of insurgents who attacked the bouse of Dennis Forde, off libber, county Galway, and administered to liiiu an unlawful oath, on Friday night, and also for the pel petration of a similar outrage at Gortevoher, iu the same county, a few nights previous ..- Limerick Chtoniele. This is followed by an extract of a letter from Dublin, which says— " Ypu may expect, in the course of a few weeks, to hear as much noise about the Itepeal of the Union as was ever heard about the Emancipation of the Catholics. Mr. O'Connell comes up to- day : but he will leave Dublin for Waterford almost immediately. On his return he will have'an Anti llnion Society, suit then . the speeclling and the talking will commence anew." " So much, Gentlemen, for what we are to expect! Here, then, is the happy state to which Ireland brought! Here is th" result of what we were led to expect. But, Gentlemen, we did not want this. It is notorious that in one county the magistrates have requested th* Lord Lieutenant to put in force the Insurrection Act, and have solemnly stated their inability to preserve the public peace without it. So much for tlie present state of Ireland! Again, are the agitators satisfied? On the contrary, are they not pledged to bring forward the Repeal of the Union? Are tliey not pledged fo the destruction of the Church Property in Ireland? Aud will they not, probably, bring forward these subjects during the ensuing Session — their hopes animated by increased power and recent success ? And how shall we meet this emergency ! How, but by shewing our gratitude to those who, like my honourable friends, have been true and faithful. ( Applause.) All we who are in this room, Gentlemen, 1 firmly believe, arc of this opinion ; remembering the advice of that great and good man, Lord Eldon, that it is our duty to obey the laws of the land, nut only strictly, but with cheerfulness, and by every means in our power to render them efficacious: at the same time we are bound to watch narrowly the motions of those who, as we tlriuk, have done so much injury. " Gentlemen, [ call in question no man's motives; and when I look at the public and private character of those who are oppose,) to us, I most cheerfully acknowledge there are amongst them the names of men who are an honour to this or any other country, and w( iq as surely wish for the prosperity of this their native lapil as any of us assembled here. It were treason to suppose the contrary. Nay more, I firmly liope and expect that very many of tlieni will use their utmost endeavours to render as little prejudicial as possible those proceedings which, ill an evil hour, they sanctioned during the last session. 1 may even expect more : but I never can forget, that they have abandoned principle for expediency, and therefore upon this subject I never can give them my confi- dence. fApplause.) And to whom, gentlemen, then, should we give it, but to those who have sup- ported the Cause whieli we support, and have re- mained true- to the British Constitution at its last gasp. (\ Great aip'aus') Willi this feeling, I give you the Health of Sir Rowland Hill and Mr. Pelham, mutual kindness are cultivated, were eminently conspicuous; and it was wilh ( be greatest pride and with unspeakable satisfaction, be expressed his grati- tude for the unlimited confidence that be, as their Representative, had received at their hands. As a man advanced in years, he repeated it, ( his mark of their esteem, induced feelings in bis breast that he was ut erlv unable fo express; but he hoped that excellent spirit, that kind, he might indeed almost ly, that religions feeling of generous and con- ciliatory confidence, which characterised the conduct of his constituents, would he amply rewarded to all and every one of those whom he now addressed, and whom he begged to accept his miM grateful thanks. — The honourable Gentleman sat down amid great cheering. Song: " f. naland, the anchor a" fl hove o' the world:' 1 The President then gave " The Navy."— Song: " Rule Ttritunria." " The Army" was the next toast, and that also was followed by an appro- priate song. Sir ROWLAND HILL said he was happy that it had fallen to his lot fo propose, as a toast, the health of an individual, who was beloved and esteemed wherever he was known— Mr. Kenyon. The toast was drank with 3 times 3. The Hon. THOMAS KFNVON said be felt most grateful for the honour the company had done liini by drinking his health in so flattering manner, and for the handsome way in which it had been proposed by the honourable Baronet. Most sincerely did he wish the office of presiding oil thi> occasion had fallen into the hands of those who, from their higher stand- ing in the county, were more, entitled fo take the lead : the office, however, was not of his seeking: he had been requested to take it, and having acceded to that request, he felt it to be his duty not to flinch ftom the declaration of his unaltered and, on this subject, unalterable sentiments.—( Apple use.) W. ORMSRY GORE, Esq. requested that he might be allowed to propose a toast. He wished to propose the health of a nobleman, whose character was un blemished— of a nobleman, who, on all occasions, had stood foremost in defence of his King, his Country, and the Constitution of his country — of a nobleman who, on a late trying occasion, had stood forward like a man and an Englishman. ( Applause.) " I am aware," said Mr. Gore, " that you anticipate me: regretting, therefore, the unavoidable absence this day of the nobleman whose name I am about lo intro- duce, I beg leave to propose the health of that respected and deservedly popular nobleman, Lord Kenyon." The toast was rapturously drank with 3 times 3. The PRESIDENT returned thanks for ( lie - very complimentary manner in which the health of his brother had been received. When his brother had declined the invitation to be present on this occasion, lie was apprehensive that he should he abroad ; and, indeed, he felt ( hat his connection with ( his county was too slight, and himself of too little importance, to warrant him in taking such a prominent place in their proceedings. On his behalf, however, he ( the President) would venture to assure the company of his brother's attachment,, while life continued, to that Cause w hich they had espoused ( Cheers); and in his name he hoped he should be allowed to propose, as a toast, " Protestant Ascendancy."— The toast was received and drunk with great applause. The Rev. C. R CAMERON said, on a former occa- sion be had had the honour of addressing the com- pany assembled in that room on this toast. A few eventful months had since passed away, and a great change had in that period been made in the Constitu- tion of England. As that change bad been made in opposition to their, petitions and their opinions— and, lie might say, in opposition to the opinions of the great majority of ( he people of this country, it was but proper to enquire whether ( hat Change had been followed by any thing that could justify the course that had been taken by those who had made that change : He had anxiously and carefully watched the events that had occurred, and the proceedings that bad taken place, and he saw nothing to alter the opinion he iiad formerly expressed. ( A) p'ause. J It was, however, now too late to argue the question of Catholic Emancipation— that was settled. But did there not remain any thing to be done? Surely, if danger was to be apprehended from Popery when at the gates, greater danger was to be apprehended now that it was admitted within tlic citadel ofthe Constitu- tion. There he now is— a subtle enemy— a deadly, an implacable foe; and they must fight with him hand to hand. One or two points, there were, on which he would shortly detain file meeting: and the first was, in regard to the assertion that the Church of Rome was unchanged and unchangeable: he believed that assertion to be the truth. Some there were, in- deed, who had alleged, that the Church of Rome must be changed, inasmuch as ( they aver) the Chutcli of England has changed, by the course of time and cir cumstances. He, however, would venture to say, the Church of England had not changed ; and that if it should be necessary to fight over again the battle of the Reformation, there yet would be found the spirit of a Cranmer, a Latimer, and a Ridley, within the Established Church—( hat she still had sons willing and ready to lay down their lives as evidence of the truth of the doctrines they held and the principles they professed. The other point to which lie w ould draw their attention was flic principle, or rather the want of it, on which Catholic Emancipation had betn conceded: and on this he hoped— indeed, he was sure, many Orthodox Dissenters would concur with him Those old- fashioned principles— Tory principles they were— he hoped the term was not offensive— of which so much had formerly been said, were scattered to the winds— and that " Old Almanack" called History, or at least its lessons, had been scattered to the winds also: and some there were, who belli that because the members of the Government had changed their opinions, it was the duty of' others to turn also. If this was to be admitted, it would bold good as an argument, even if the Government were to declare that there should be no established religion. He, however, would contend that it was as much the duty of a Christian Government to provide for the sound instruction of the people, as it was of the appointed ministers to fulfil the serious duties of their responsi- ble situation : and this he would maintain in defiance of those who objected to establishments as the un- authorisrtl rule of the few over the many : for if this objection were to be held valid, as well might his children, because there were only eleven of them, assert that they were better informed, and that they had a right to govern their parents, f Applause. J Much, in the present aspect of affairs, remained to be done ; and it was our duty as Christians to be ready- armed for the contest that would assuredly take place, to buckle on our armour, and wait calmly anil firmly the attack ofthe enemy. One point he would parti- cularly wish to impress upou the Clergy; and that was, to know the real character of the enemy they had to contend with : to ( fleet this, they must shake off that apathy which had proved so injurious: it was their ignorancfc of the nature of the enemy, and their apathy, that had mainly brought them into their present situation. He had looked carefully into the books of devotion, the canons, and the other formula- ries ofthe Romish Cliurch; and he would venture to assert, that a system more hostile to civil and reli- gious liberty, anil to constitutional privilege, could not be demised. Let them then grapple with the monster, and bring him to the light; for the light was to him as a heated atmosphere; and in it he could not exist. Our established church and our old- fashioned institutions had brought the country to what it once was— be wished lie could say to what it now is. One proud satisfaction, however, there was, that, amid all the recent defection, the Representatives of Shropshire had been-*- faithful found Among ! lie faithless Among innumerable false, unmoved, Unshaken, unsedue'd, imterrify'd, Nor number nor example with l/ iein wrought, To swerve from truth; or change their constant mind. ( Great Applause.) Gratifying it was fo know, that among the Ahitophels and the Judases of the day, more than one Abdu l had been found even in Shropshire ( Cheers) ; and while he would congratulate the. Honourable Gentlemen in whose presence he stood, on their manly and con- sistent conduct, he would say to those around him, let us go and do likewise.— 1 he Rev. Gentleman sat down amid the cheers ofthe assembly. Mr. PELHAM said, he considered that in entering that room he had put himself under the shelter of those by whom he was now surrounded ; and in their honourable feelings he trusted lie should find a sufficient apology for thus trespassing upon them. To their sanction he was indebted for the opportunity of now appearing before them ; ami lie hoped he should be pardoned for rising ( o give ( he health of a liberal, a constitutional, and a manly gentleman— Mr. Ormsby Gore. This announcement was received with unbounded approbation; and the toast was drunk with 3 times 3. Sir. ORMSBY GORE rose, and returned thanks for the flattering manner in which his health had been proposed, and the honour that had been done to him in tlie reception of that toast. He was one of those that hated long prosing speeches after dinner, because they stopped the bottle: he would not, therefore, detain the assembly long. But a few months ago they had entertained fears as to an occurrence, of which they had now to deplore the realization: he meant the measure of conciliation :— he wished that word was expunged from the English language :— for if by conciliat'oi they were to understand the open- ing of a wound wider, then, indeed, as such appeared to be the case, it was a healinn measure ; but lie must siy the word had a very different meaning to that which was attached to it when he went to school. Had that measure of concil ation quieted Ireland ? Look at the fact: those very noblemen and gentle m n, who from the first dawn of understanding had been taught lo supplicate for this measure of Eman- cipation, as a measure of unmixed good, and as panacea for all the evils of Ireland, were among the first to declare its insufficiency : tliey were obliged to assemble, and as Magistrates they found it requisite to declare they would not be answerable for the peace of the country unless the Insurrection Act were put i- i force. Did that look l. ke conciliation ? ( Cheers.) Again, look at the Demagogues, and what had been their, conduct ? Was it not now openly declared by them, that Emancipation was only a stepping stone to ulterior objects; and having obtained that step, would they not piess further, and go on, ad infinitum, unlil at last as he ( Mr. Gore) had said on a former occasion, " they would, if they could, grind us under ( heir feet" ( Cheers.]) Foreign warfare they bad often experienced, and, as on former occasions, they had finished the last contest triumphantly : the dangers of su< h a contest w ere at all times great: but however imminent they may be, those dangers were not so great as that to which the country was exposed by the system of policy now in progress. ( Continued cheers.) This was the time in which all their vigi lance was required— the enemy was at their doors- nay, lie was inside fheir doors— and he would say fo them, " Watch '.— Watch '. sleep with your arms in your hands: be ready." ( Chan.) " Gentlemen,' continued Mr. Gore, " I feel pride in the honour you have done me by drinking my health in such a com- plimentary manner; but I feel a greater pride in ihat 1 have been called upon to fill the office that I hold on this gratifying occasion. You, gentlemen. Salopians, ought to feel a pride— your bosoms ought to swell with unspeakable satisfaction, when you reflect, that amidst the late awful defection and desertion of principle, the two Representatives of the Comity of Salop stood up manfully and firmly among the few unyielding supporters of our once glorious Constitution. ( Continued cheers.) Gentlemen, 1 have no doubt but they will continue to deserve your unlimiti d approbation : I have no doubt they will continue to act so as tn hold a place in yonr hearts, as b. ing of the number of those who are determined to stand steadily in support of w hat is left of'the British Constitution." Mr. Gore concluded an address marked throughout by the warmest approbation, by giving " The House of Brunswick, and the Principles which seated them on the Throne of these Realms." Song: " Hail! Constitution by glorious William planned" Col. BURGH LI IGHTON said he would take the liberty of doing himself the honour to propose the health of a gentleman, whose name, he was sure, would be received with pleasure by all present— Mr. Bi ycott. ( A/ plause.) The health of Mr. Boycott w as then drank with marked approbation. Mr. BOYCOTT said he little expected the honour that had been conferred upon him : but he would venture to hope, that as himself and all present were supporters of those principles which had been so justly admired in the conduct of the two worthy Representatives of the County, so they should always continue to maintain thern : for himself he would say, he was brought up in them, and he would endeavour to maintain them while he had existence. ( Con- tinued cheers.) The Rev. JOSEPH DALE said, as a Brunswicker, he should, he was sure, do that which was in unison not only with his own sentiments, but with the sentiments of all whom he now addres.- ed, in giving the memory of a Prince now no more, and to w hose coming among us, we owed the establishment of our civil and religious liberties, aud the foundation of that Consti- tution so dear to every true Protestant. To the childless state of that Prince— to the circumstance of his dying without issue, it was, that the House of Hanover owed their call lo the government of a nation mighty in means and in extent, and that, instead of ruling over the precarious tenure of a German state, they were placed on the throne of a kingdom great and powerful even in that day, but which is now truly styled ail empire on whose dominions the sun never sets ; and although our Church does not countenance any such office as that of the canonization of the dead, yet the memory of that good old Brunswicker of the House of Hanover, George the Third, would long be dear to every true Protestant, as a firm supporter of their church, and of that Constitution now, alas! no more. ( Applause.) As to our present gracious Sovereign, may God bless him! As his Majesty was a Protestant King, he ( Mr. D.) felt bound to invoke confusion upon his enemies; and he would ask the assembly whom he now addressed, whether, as to foreign enemies, the King of Great Britain could not shake them off as the dew- drops from the lion's mane; and if those were not greater enemies— if those were not his greatest enemies, who had forced his reluctant con- sent to the " breaking in upon the Constitution." ( Cheers.) These were their own words; and be had not the least hesitation in expressing his belief that the vilest logic, the vilest cant of that spurious humanity— the vilest cant of what was justly termed modern liberalism— the almost treasonable remon- strances as to consequences that would ensue from a refusal to comply with their views, had been em- ployed to obtain ihe reluctant consent of our most gracious Sovereign. That Sovereign had, indeed, been as a mark lor the archers, and all their shafts were levelled at him : he had lost the support and assistance of that Prince who had on all previous occasions stood forward and interposed between his Sovereign and dishonour. ( Applause.) He scarcely need add that the evil hour came, in which the ruler; took counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed ; and they had not now to learn that man is frailty's heir, and that the mightiest monarch is but mortal man. ( Cheers.) They could not dive into futurity; but they could look into the past and it might be truly said that the late season had indeed been a sickly one for the consciences of men ( Ih ers.) They might, however, hope that those who had stood the attack, and were yet left uti scathed, would continue to enjoy mens sana in cori'ore sai o. ( Cheers.) Many advantages were to be found in' a society like the Brunswick Club : for as in a battle men fled when the standard was down, and rallied towards it while it was kept unfurled and in view ; so by the Brunswick Club an opportunity was given to men of kindred minds to associate themselves in support of their country's best interests; and it was by tile- formation of the Brunswick Club that the present ' opportunity had been afforded of testifying their respect for their County Representatives, as men who had done t',-. eir duty in the worst of times. ( Great applause.) And he hoped those who hearil him would bear in mind, whenever the day did come — and come it shortly must— in which it would be the duty of his countrymen again to return Repre- sentatives to Parliament ; he hoped they would bear in mind the conduct of the apostate and the luke- warm, and not tamely submit to Ihe re- el'e. tion of those by whom they had been injured and betrayed ( Cheers) ; but, on the contrary give to them a cut- ting rebuke, by the appointment of fitter and better men to represent them in Parliament ( Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded an address received throughout with much applause, by giving " The glorious, pious, and immortal Memory of the great and good King William." Mr. ORMSBY GORE begged to be excus" d saying a few words . on that toast : it was a toast seldom drank in England, though it was regularly given in Ireland. It was now, indeed, too often considered as a party toast, and exclusively Piotestant; but it was not so. King William was a true friend, indeed, to his Roman Catholic subjects: and when he ( Mr. Gore) was a young man, and in the habit of attending upon Grand Juries in Ireland, it was regularly given at their « dinners; and be had known it given by a Roman Catluilic Grand Juror. On one point of Mr. Dale's address, he wished to guard against any mis- apprehension: the present w* s not to be considered merely as a meeting of the Brunswick Club: it bore more the character of a general County Meeting, comprising as it did not merely members of the Brunswick Club, but such other gentlemen as entertained the same high opinion of the conduct of their County Representatives— The toast was then drank, with thanks to Mr. Dale for its introduction. The Hon. THOMAS KENYON felt grateful to Mr. Ormsby Gore for his last remark, as it might prevent any misapprehension : as President of the Brunswick Club, he ( Mr. Kenyon) was prepared to stand up in its defence ; but, however respectable that Club was, the present meeting was of a more important charac- ter: it was a meeting of certain individuals of the County, Brttnswickers and others, who were anxious, lo shew their gratitude and respect for the conduct of their County Representatives in the iast Session of Parliament : and be would now propose the health of another Representative, who had stood true likewise, Mr. Thomas Whitmore. Mr. Whitmore's health was drank with 3 times 3. Mr. PI LHAM then begged to state, that he had reason to know that many gentlemen of the Counfy who had, intruded to be present on this occasion, were prevented by indisposition and other unforeseen causes : such was the case with his friend, Mr. Hill, of Berrington, and the Rector of his parish, the Rev. E H. Owen. Mr. BOYCOTT then proposed the health of Sir Andrew Corbet, which was drank with 3 times 3. Sir ANDR, w CORBET said— t! Gentlemen, the power of speech is not possessed hy every one; I have it but in a small degree; still I have words sufficient to return you my most sincere thanks for the honour you have done me in drinking my good health. I have been amongst you between sixty and seventy years, and never went to France to learn new- fangled fashions or to drink poor wine. ( Cheers.) I revere Religion, 1 respect my King, and I love my Country in my heart."— The worthy Baronet sat down amid continued cheers. Glee: " Glorious dpollo." THF. PRESIDENT then read a letter from the High Sheriff( C. Kynaston Mainwaring, Esq ) expressing his cordial concurrence in the object for which the meet- ing was assembled, and his regret that circumstances prevented his attending it. THE PRESIDENT then gave the health of " The Lord Lieutenant." ROBERT DIXON, Esq. said, it was not without some degree of embarrassment that he presented himself before the present meeting; and he should not have presumed to have . done so if he had not conceived this to be, not a meeting merely nf the Brunswick Club ( of which he was not a member), but of a body of gentlemen who admired the manly and consistent conduct of their County Representatives. ( Cheers) When a man rose to address such an assembly, it was but fair to presume that he pos- sessed some qualification either of birth, of station, or of fortune, or at least that he was prepared to impart some exclusive information to those before whom he presented himself. He was sorry that he possessed none of the qualifications to which he had adverted : and he thought he beard a whisper now proceeding of" Who is he?— Who is this stranger?" a question which, with the exception of two or three friends near him, perhaps none ill that room could answer but himself. He was, however, an Englishman, and a Shropshire man ( cheers)',— a man who loved his King; but yet a man that felt for his country. ' ontinned cheers.) The indications as to the future, it was said, were such in the political world— and he was glad- at least to find that here was an argument on which he could take his stand as a ground for his present intrusion.— that no tongue ought to be silent, no mind I'emaiu unmoved, that had a right and the power tq> gi* eexpression to its sentiments. ( Cheers.) It had, indeed, been said, What right has any private individual to interfere— what right especially bad the Brunswick Clubs to attempt to coerce the authority of the Government set over us ? But, be would maintain that it was the right— at least so be was taught to infer from those books that he bad been accustomed to study— that it. was the inalienable right of freohorn Englishmen boldly and pub'icly to express their opinii u of public men and public mea- sures. ( Continued applause.) ' 1 hey came thereto consider the, conduct, of two public men as to a great public measure; and if he were to form a judgment of the opinion of that assembly, from the cordial, the unanimous, the enthusiastic approbation those two honourable Gentlemen had received that day, he must say their conduct had been independent, con- stitutional, and honest. ( Rapturous applause.) " Honest'' did he say ? — Yes, and by political honesty he meant that honesty w hich would not permit a man to barter his conscience for any consideration that it was in the. power of any of his fellow- men to offer: and although it might be said, that it was in ( lie power of any man to be politically independent, all must agree that the circumstances of the times were such that their gratitude and their applause were due to the Members for Shropshire ( c/. cos); for any one who had made it his duty to look into the field for political honesty, must say that the conduct of those Members had proved their hearts to be as honest, their purses were independent and diep. ( Continued applause.) But then, it had been asked, why did such a society continue fo exist, when the question which gave rise to i't bad been set at rest ? That question had certainly been set at rest, according to the mode of expediency, but, he would venture to aver, not according to the rule of the Constitution. ( Great cheerina.) That question, however, was but a particle of the case— if it had comprised the whole that called for their solicitude, then indeed their Society might cease ; for Catholic Emancipation was now a question of abstract philosophy ; and it was a part of that sound morality, which should induce us to endeavour to bring good out of evil, that we should assist in giving effect to the acts of the Legis- lature ; for, he trusted, they should never make it their business to offer any unbecoming hostility to the measures of the Government. If, however, their object was— as he believed it was— to keep a steady eye on the future, he should have some difficulty iu bringing liis mind to a decision that they would have no reason to stand on the watch. ( Cheers ) On the contrary, as had been observed by their worthy Vice- President, it was now more than ever their duty to stand on their guard — it was now more than ever their duty to encourage their Representatives to look well to the helm of the Constitution, so that the vessel of the slate might ride firm and secure on the ocean of time, and sail proudly on her course, when the memories of all present should he washed from the land of the living. ( Gie^ t applause.) And it behoved those to whom lie now addressed himself to consider how far that power, which had already gained one st" p on them, was calculated and deter mined to proceed in its course. They would do well to consider this before the enemy was at their doors, so that they might be prepared to defend themselves while they could, and before the enemy closed upon them. ( Ch ers.) ' ' ' though a stranger to most of those pl- eseiit, they would give him leave lo propose the health of one who, throughout a long life, hail stood firmly by the Constitution of his couutrv— who had stood up in ifs behalf before the humble individual who now ad- dressed them was called into existence;— of a man who had never altered his mind— of a man ivlio had never held two opinions on this suhjeit— of a man who had never said that one year which he unsaid the next. ( Continued cheerina.) " Gentlemen," said Mr. Dixon, « I am aware that you anticipate me : 1 beg leave to propose the health of the Earl of Eldon." ( Renewed cheers.) ., The toast wa « then rapturously drunk with 3 times 3 cheers, and " One cheer more." The PRESIDENT said he was IntppV that the short discussion as to the constitution of tliei'r assembly had given opportunity for the display of that talent, which bad been so decidedly evinced by the gentleman ( Mr. Dixon) who had proposed the last toast, and who had proposed it in a way that did so much credit to himself, and to that learned profession of which he was a member. ( Applause.) Mr. ORMSBY GORE requested permission to call upon his neighbour, Mr. Parker, for a song. ( Cheers) Mr. PAitfci R, with much good humour, said, t'iat as lie had been called upon for a song, and was fully aware that there were Reporters present— and as he was about to introduce the name of that excellent personage, his Holiness the Pope ( l. auahtcr)— he must trustto the good taste of the Reporters, that tliey would not publish his effusion to the world. ( Re- newed Laughter.) He hoped too, that as the . isSembly now met under different circumstances to those which had characterised their meeting mi a former occasion, and as his song was composed to rather a melancholy iune— r( Continued laughter) the company would join him in the chorus; for which they would be prepared when he told them it was one that many of them hail had an opportunity of practising, as hii. was a new song to the old tune of " The Vicar and Moses."

The health of Mr. Parker, and thanks for his song, was then drunk with cheers. The PRISIDENT said he was very happy to say that his honourable friend ( Mr. Pelham) meant to sitig his answer to Mr. Parker. J. C. PELHAM, Esq. said, that one or two kind friends near him, who bad heard him attempt to sing on former occasions, had called upon him now.— The honourable gentleman then sung a Hunting Song. The PRESIDENT then gave the health of the Gentlemen who had done the assembly the honour to act as Stewards on the present occasion. The toast having been drunk with applause, Sir Andrew Corbet, and the other Stewards present, returned thanks. T. N. PARK FR, Esq said, when he requested the forbearance of the Reporters, he did so because he was credibly informed, that his Holiness the Pope ( whom he was anxious not to offend !) took in the Shrewsbury Chronicle ( Laughter).— Mr. Parkerthen gave as a toast " Toleration, peace, and good- will, to all men." The PRFSIDF. NT then read letters that he had re- ceived from ( he Hon. A. H. Trevor, Edward Dymock, Esq. and other Gentlemen, who concurred in the ob- ject of the meeting, hilt whom unavoidable circum- stances prevented from being present. The Rev C. R. CAMERON said, that having already occupied for some time the notice of the meeting, he would only now trespass very shortly on their at- tention. The parties who carried the measure called " Catholic Emancipation" seemed to have adopted the principles of jEneas Silvius, afterwards Pope Pius the Second, who, after his elevation to the tiara, bad denounced those opinions to be damnable and heretical which he had promulgated when he was jEneas Silvius : and he alleged as his reason for altering his opinion, that when he became Pope Pius the Second, he had risen higher and saw things clearer. ( Cheers.) But he trusted that, after hearing those letters read that had been produced, and witnessing the assembly present this day, it would not be said, that the Protestant Gentlemen of Shropshire had adopted the example of ylioeas Silvius, and as tliey had risen higher, had seen tilings clearer. ( Applause ) The PRESIDENT said, in proposing, as he was about to do, the health of a Nobleman who differed from them ill opinion on a great question, he was sure every one present would, with him, he anxious to do justice to a nobleman who deserved so much from his country, and whose public, and private virtues so justly entitled him fo their esteem—" Lord Hill." His Lordship's health was drank with 3 times 3. Sir ROWLAND HILL begged leave to'return thanks on behalf of his noble relative. No one regretted their difference of opinion on a great question more than himself: but, it was his duty to state, that his noble relative had at least been consistent, having supported that measure by the first vote he hail ever given in Parliament. He should feel it his duty, when he saw his Lordship, to inform him of the flattering manner in which his health had been drank by so many gentlemen who differed from him in opinion. ( Cheers.) Song :—" One day when lo Jove the Black List was presented." - The PRISIDENT again gave the health of the County Members, who briefly returned thanks; and the meeting broke up.— Several gentlemen, however, continued to prolong the hilarity of the evening to a later hour. The dinner, wines, & c. were such as did the highest credit to Mr. Tompkins's establishment; and many excellent songs were given by Mr. Maitland and other professional gentlemen present. / Miscellaneous Intelligence. HEREFORD OCTOBER FAIR.— The largest and finest show of cattle ever witnessed, was exhibited at this fair on Tuesday, every street and lane, and all the principal streets and roads to the turnpikes, being crowded with the choicest specimens ofthe celebrated county breed, so as to be nearly impassable. Although there was a numerous attendance of dealers and graziers, the prices were ruinously low, and numbers remained unsold ; best cattle scarcely averaged 3d. to 4d. Every kind of stock experienced depression, and the results of the fair presented a most heartless and gloomy prospect for the agri- culturists. Fat sheep sold from 4il. to 5d. per lb. and pigs partook of the general depression. Trie horse fair contained very good animals, but scarcely any business done There was a small quantity of'hops, and generally they are of a very inferior quality, the prices were from £ 3 to £ 6, and little doing. Salt butter sold from 7s. Gd. to 9s. per stone, Cheese, best, from 45s. to 50s. and second from 38s. to 40s. per cwt. Onions, 2s. to 2s. ( id. per peck EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION. The anni- versary meeting of the Baptist Missionary Society was held on Monday evening in the chapel in York- street, Manchester ; when the collection amounted to no less than one thousand pounds and fire shillings.— Leeds Ir. tellU, Six stand of arms were seized a few days since on board the Liffey steamer, at Drogheda, under the following curious circumstances :— The Mayor of Liverpool, findihg thatarins were frequently smuggled from that port to Ireland by reapers and, nig- iobliers, directed the jmlice to be on the alert. One of them discovered that two men had secretly conveyed six stand of arms, concealed in sacks, on board tlie Liffey, when she was about to sail for Drogheda: The policeman was sent as a passenger by the Mayor, with directions tQ. seize the arms, and appre- hend the n en on their arrival. Tlus was accordingly done, and the men were committed to prison for trial. The vessel was put under seizure, but subsi - qiiently* restored by an ordet froth the B. i. ird iif Cu toms. Letters are in town fr. m Ihe Havannah to the lltfi nil. The accounts tliev oriog are so contradictory that it is scarcely possible to form any opinion on the subject of the Spanish invasion of Mexico, until more detailed accounts are obtained. By one party it is stated that intelligence had been received of the capture of Tampico, and that the Spaniards wer » marching upon the capital, after having lost about o. ie hundred nieii in skirmishes with the Mexicans; they are further re; resented, to have scizejl treasure to a considerable amount. It is added that prepara- tions are making to send considerable reinforcements out of the garrison of the Havannah, w hich is stated at about 18,000 men. The other letters represent the attack as hopeless ; that the expedition had not been joined by the natives; and that the Mexican trijops contest every point on the advance of the Spaniard.: According to letters from Bilboa, of the 9th inst: it appears probable that Spain will, ere long, become a great agricultural country. Cultivation is said to have si much increased there, that instead of requiring corn from abroad as was formerly the tase, more is now grown than is sufficient tor the Cohi sumption of ihe people, aiiil therefore extensive exportaiions were expected, whenever the foreign markets offered a prospect of gain. For several. yeirJ wheat has been sent through Bilboa to fclldfk, Barcelona, and other Spanish ports, but not in ilnv considerable quantities; and it was not mitij last autumn and winter that the English and Freneli markets began to be supplied with wheat from Spain} and between last autumn and the spring about 120,000 quarters of wheat were exported. Thfc Corn trade being yet in its infancy, there are neither largi: warehouses nor stocks kept af Bilboa, atid speculators receiving orders from abroad are compelled to send into the interior, anil to have the grain sent on in carts, as there ore no canals or water Conveyance, which occasions considerable delay. There are tnniiv sorts of wheat cultivrted in Spain; but the principal ones are soft white* soft fed, arid hahl wheat, Which vary in rjuality according to the districts. The wheat harvest in Spain has hcen good anil the crops abundant. At the Knutsford Sessions last week, ( see ith page) iVi Ham James, aged 22, was charged with stealing three guineas and two sovereigns, from H nry Pen- dlebury, at the last Knutsford races.— The prose- cutor was a driver of a stage toSch, he went to the table oh the faCe course, at which the prisoner officiated, and offered to wager a sovereign with the prisoner. Witness pulled out three guineas, upon which some of the confederates of the prisoner knocked him down, and took the money from him. The prisoner ran away with his table and was pursued by a constable, who apprehended him. When in custody the prisoner cried out, rh ! eh .' and immediately about 20 of the same gang came up, and rescued him. He was afterwards taken, anil on his person was found a guinea, very milch resembling one lost by the prosecutor; also, two sovereigns, a thimble, aud three pepper corns. The prisoner gave the prosecutor all his money back, with a view to stop the prosecution.— The Chairman remarked, that the receiving of the money back hy the prose- cutor, should have no effect upon the jury, to cause them to acquit the prisoner, as the King was the prosecutor; and such barefaced robberies in the face of day, must be punished as they deserved. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported seven years. Another robbery lias recently taken place of stamps, sent by the Stamp- office to be f irwarded to the distributor at Louth. It appears that some days since a parcel was sent to the Saracen's Head from the stamp- office, addressed fo William Allison, Esq. the distributor at Louth, where the parcel was booked. The value of the stamps contained in the parcel was about £ 500; and although inquiries have been made info the afi'. iir, it is not at all known whether the parcel alluded to was stolen from the coach- office, or from the Louth and Boston mail, on its journey to Louth. This is the third robbery of stamps which has occurred recently. A reward has been offered bv the Stamp- office for the apprehension of the offenders. THE 47TH FOOT.— This regiment left Cork about twenty- two years ago for the Isle of France. It left the Mauritius for the Cape of Good Hope, and from the Cape it went to join tlic expedition to South America, under General Whitelock, after which it went to Madras; from Madras to Bombay; and lastly, on its India service, it went from Bombay to Calcutta, to take a part in the Burmese war. It was in the Burmese territory about four years, and lost, as it is stated, about five or six hundred men in that service, more owing to bad rations and bad bivouacs than hard fighting, in which the loss was only thirty men. The regiment came down to Barampore in the hope of being returned to England, but it remained there about two years, and experienced a further loss of about two hundred men from sickness. It lost officers, men and women, on its voyage home, also from sickness; and had not the regiment been kept up by continued drafts, and by recruits sent from England, we can fancy the perfect skeleton it must have been sent back many years ago, instead of returning now about three hundred strong, after having parted with some of its men, who accepted the bounty of twenty- four rupees to remain in India. Of the men who went out with the regiment originally only three have returned, one of whom did duty in Brighton 26 years ago, and is now tough and sturdy; so differently are men constituted. Our officers in India are stated to he much dissatisfied with the curtailment of their allowances. Lord Combermere was on a military inspection throughout the Pre- sidency, and had not returned when the officers of the 47th left. Dr. Buck, one of bis Lordship's staff, had, however, arrived at Calcutta, from which it was inferred that Lord Combermere, with his whole staff, would not be detained much long'er up the country. His Lordship had been extremely particular in his inspection ; and on one occasion, when he visited the quarters of the men of the 47th regiment, he inquired if that small loaf, which was then distributed, was their allowance; and, finding it so, he expressed his conviction that it was not enough to satisfy hunger, and ordered the size to be enlarged. On Monday afternoon, at four o'clock, a female, G1 years of age, a native of Cumberland, who bail undertaken fo walk 96 miles in 24 hours, commenced her undertaking in Ranclagh Gardens. At twelve minutes before four the following afternoon she terminated her walk in excellent style, performing the last mile in seven minutes. About 1200 persons were present in the gardens, for which they paid a small admission, the profit of her speculation.— Norwich Mercury. Early on Monday morning last, was caught opposite Newriham Passage, by Thomas Jones and George Hall of Artingham, in this county, an immensely large - el; its length seven feet two inches, weight 59lbs. and girth 23 inches.

This Quarter Sessions was held before the Mayor and Magistrates, on Friday last. Edward Swain, an old man about 70 years of age, convicted of having committed an indecent assault on Hannah Heatley, a girl of 15, was sen- fenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction 12 months. Williaim Davies, a sawyer, between 30 and 40 years of age, Was indicted for assaulting Samuel Cash, by striking him and throwing' him over the parapet of Coleham Bridge on the night of Satur- day, tbe 5th of September last, Samuel Cash, a light- made youth of 18, stated, in substance, that on the night in question, he had gone lo the Plough and Harrows Inn, Coleham, about half- past nine o'clock, where he drank about Phree pints of ale, and which house lie left about eleven o'clock, or soon after, with other persons, and that be was then neither drank nor sober, but somewhat fresh. On Coming out of the Plough and Harrows, he heard a noise in the direction of Colt- ham Bridge, aud he and a youth named William Evans went there to see what was going forward ; they saw 8 or 7 persons quarrelliug between the English Bridge aud Coleham Bridge; and on gtsing up to thein they met William Davies and his brother John Davies running towards Coleham Bridge; witness and Evans turned and ran after them, but did not speak a word to them or to any one else; when they had reached Coleham Bridge William Davics and his brother turned round, and William Davies knocked witness down, and ( he believed) John Davies knocked William Evans down; William Davies then toek hold of witness by the leg and by the upper part of his body aud threw him over Ihe bridge into Ihe river; witness swam to the shore, and was assisted to get out; he had not himself given any offence to either of the Davies's that night or at any other time. This testimony was confirmed by that of William Hughes, Charles Blount, Susannah Lloyd, and William Evans. On tbe part of the defendant, it was proved, that on the night in question he aud his brother had left the Bull Inn, in Abbey Foregate, aboot eleven o'clock, quite sober, taking with them two quarts of ale in a jug, to drink at home; that between the English Bridge and Coleham Bridge some 5 or fi persons had set upon fbem, with tbe intention of taking the arte'from them, and that a scuffle had ensued, in which William Davies and his brother were very much ill- used. There was,, however, no testimony adduced, that could by any means implicate Samuel Cash as having been a party in this altack and outrage. The Jury, therefore, alter consulting together for some time, found the defendant guilty, but recommended him to mercy, in consideration of the ill- usage be had received previous to his commit- ting the gross assault ill question, and which assault might have in some degree proceeded from the irritation he had received, and from his having mistaken Samuel Cash for one of the party by whom he and his brother had been attacked. The defendant was, in consequence, fined £ 5, and held ill recognizance, himself ill 50, aud one surety in £ 25, to keep the peace for two years. Charles Varies & Adam Varies pleaded guilty to a charge of having assaulted a constable in the execution of his duty, and entered into recogni- zances for their good behaviour. Joseph Jones, an incorrigible rogue and vaga- bond, convicted of having deserted his family and Jeft them chargeable to tbe parish of St. Chad, was sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months to hard labour iti the House ofCorrection, unless he could, iu the mean time, find parties to be surety for his future good behuviour. Tbe only prisoner for trial on a charge of felony was Ann Williams; and she was convicted of having stolen a gown, value five shillings, the property of Mary Easthope; but, in consequence of her receiving a good character from several persons by whom she had been employed, she was sentenced lo be imprisoned only seven days. At the Coni. ty Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, William lllancy, a collier, was sentenced to a fori night's imprisonment, for gambling, at Woni- bridge.— This was a prosecution, very properly directed by Ihe parish officers of Wombridge, lo put a stop to tbe practice of gambling, which, - among some of the labouring elassis has arived at a height absolutely destructive to themselves and families, many of whom have heen cast upon the the prisoner at flie bar, he was one of the men who followed Mr. Mytton, and 1 saw him cutting his right- hand coat flap ; I also saw another tall man trying to pull Mr. Mytton down by the legs; the Waiters strove to pull Mr. Mytton into the bouse, and I held ( he door. T had seen the prisoner many times before during the races ; I took some notice of him, because people called him " Dutch Sam," the tighter. Cross- examined by Mr. Coftingham.— When before the Magistrates I said 1 would not swear the fight flap was torn off; 1 do not recollect Who it was that pointed out the prisoner to me during the races; 1 toc. k particular notice of his features; 1 never said " If 1 had known Mr. Mytton would not have paid me, 1 would not have sworn as much as I have." I never was taken up on any charge, nor have I been gaol. The persons connected with the house stood before Mr. Mytton when he was robbed; 1 held the door. The men with the prisoner were behind him. Other persons in the house bad not as good an opportunity as I had of seeing the prisoner. By the Court — Was the prisoner at large two days in Knutsford ?— Yes, he was Tbe prosecutor's coat was produced, which he identified. It was partly torn and partly cut. Ann Kinsey, who keeps a lodging- house in Knuts- ford, examined by Mr. Cottinghani, for tbe prisoner. She knew the prisoner; he had lodged with her four years at the races; the prisoner and three others dined in her house the day the robbery w'as commit- ted, at five o'clock, off a con's heart. He went out, and when he returned he did not appear'as if he had been in any row. The prisoner in his defence said, he was drinking with three men from six o'clock until half past ten or eleven o'clock that night, at the Coach and Horses, and never was out of their company two minutes. The Chairman, in summing up the evidence, told the jury, that if two or more persons confederated together to commit a felony, they were all equally guilty. The prisoner had called no witnesses to sup- port what he had asserted— and after waiting two days for other witnesses, ( Boscow, the boxer, was one) they had not arrived.—[ The prisoner here craved the mercy of the Court, saying he had a wife and two children.]— Tbe Chairman, in passing sentence, said, " you have been found guilty of an offence, f. ir which, if you bad been tried at the assizes, you might have forfeited your life. You attended the races at Knuts- ford, in company with hundreds of loose characters from London, and other parts of the country, for the purpose of plunder. You set the police at defiance, and robbed all you came in contact with ; and one man was nearly deprived of life, ill consequence of the cruel treafnient he received. Next races a suffi- cient force shall be assembled to detect and bring to punishment characters of yoflr description. Ju- tice demands that yon shall be punished, by being ba- nished for a period from your native country; and I hope your associates, many of whom 1 hear are now in Court, will take warning from your fate, the law » hall not be violated with impunity by a fiiwle- s banditti. The sentence of the Court is, that you be transported- for the term of fourteen yenr*, to such place beyond the seas as his Majesty w ith the advice of his privy council shall dircct, and that in the mean time you be imprisoned in the Castle of Chester, and, kept to hard labour.*' Prisoner ( with great sang froidj—" Then you'll! not have nie here next Knutsford Races— that's quite; clear f ' his unexampled topographical exactness, w hich is quite unique among ihe antients. Strabo, a great geographer, falls far short of this truth of descrip- tion. Livy destroys Italian towns, the walls of which are still standing. The marvellous descrip- tion of Great Britain by Tacitus makes a schoolboy laugh; aud all this could not be otherwise. The antieutsbad no maps— no plans traced. Thus their mode of locating places became liable to uncer- tainty, and it was necessary for a writer to have long and attentively visited people and cities, like Ciesar and Homer, that posterity illluhI not see every thing misplaced and displaced in their ac counts or in nature. This poet was a Greek war- rior ; this he proved sufficiently. by his description of his battles; and, finally, this warrior is the King of lihaca— of that charming island, whither the antieuts sent the songster of the Odyssey to consult the manes of Ulysses, and where the oracle of Delphos said this prince of poets was born. Homer loses nothing by this commentary; no one knew who be was; and some of the learned will tell you that the name of Homer w- as mere nick- name. The antiquity of Greece loses nothing, but many un- certainties respecting the reality of this poet' existence. LOSS OF THE DOLPHIN HULK. COUNTY OP WA'FEKFORD REPRESENT- ATION. [ FROM THE WATER FORD MATT..] Dungarvan, Oct 8. Yesterday a Meeting of the Independents was held at the Court- house, for the purpose of oppos- ing the return of Lord George Beresford at the next cfeelion. Counsellor O'Conuell arrived al twelve o'clock by tire coach, and Wss shown into ( lie inn by John Matthew Galwey, Esq. - Tile busi- ness at the Court- house did not commence for at little time afterwards. A good deal of difficulty arose upon the choice of a chairman. It gave rise to a long discussion and some confusion ; at letigtlii it was agreed that James Barron, of George's town, Esq. should preside, and at two o'clock the chair was at length taken. A committee of ten was then appointed, who prepared the following reso- lutions, which were afterwards submitted to the meeting, and carried unanimously : — First— That Mr. Stuart should be requested to continue lo represent the county. Secondly— That, in case of his refusal, Henry Winston Barron, Esq. should be nominated to fill his place; and Thirdly- That the High Sheriff was entitled to their thanks for the use of the Court- house. The speakers w ere Messrs. O'Contiell, Ronayne, Wyse, O'Gorman, Otway Cave, and Mr. Barron, the new candidate. The theme, though variously illustrated, was the same with all - namely, the nothingness of Emancipation, and the absolute ne cessity of a much further and more radical reform of the Constitution, embracing, inter itliu, reform of Parliament and the abolition of tithes. To effect such cuds, and to sweep away corruption from all existing institutions, sueh as Jobbing of Grand Juries, & e. a perfectly independent candidate must be elected.— Emancipation, hitherto set up as the ne plus ultra of patriotic ambition, was now so far decried as to be pronounced the mere stepping- stone to ulterior objects. Letters were read from H. V. Stuart, Esq and Sir Richard MusgraVe, stating that they would give their support to whatever candidate the Meet- ing might set up. parishes, through Ihe bliud infatuation of hands who have squandered their wages, indeed all they possessed, in- gambling hus and CHESHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. Outrage on Knutsford Race Course. HOMER. Daniel Grey, aged 23, was indicted for stealing from tbe person of John Mytton, Esq. of Halston, on the 3d of July last, the sum of nine sovereigns. John Mytton, Esq. examined by Mr. Trafford— was at the White Hear public- house in Knutsford, on the 3d of July last, and shortly after dusk 1 was going from thence, when I felt a foot behind me trying to trip me up,- I said, I would shoot the person if he came near me; when I turned round there was a crowd of persons near me.— 1 turned round to guard myself; I walked back and entered the White Bear, and when there, in the passage a person passed ine, and attempted to shut the door; I succeeded in getting uiy leg between the door and the post. At this time, several persons polled at me on both sides, and 1 felt some person pull at my coat, which tlif'V cut off al the side pockets, also tore it across the body ; 1 had great difficulty in getting into the huuse. 1 bad nine sovereigns in my coat pocket w hich they cut off.- r- 1 remained in the house during the remainder of that night. Cross examined by Mr. Cottingham.— I don't know whether my pocket was cut off or torn off. It was just after dusk when the robbery took place, about half past nine. I never carry a watch. Joseph Lee.— 1 was waiter at the White Bear during the races; I remember the prosecutor, Mr. Mytton, being at our house twice on the day of the j tai robbery A great number of persons followed him and got into the house place ; there were three candles burning, besides afire; it was light; I saw Professor Constantin Koliades, of the Ionian University, has made the notable discovery that no such poet as Homer ever existed; that this name is entirely fictitious; and that the " Iliad" and " Odyssey," attributed to him, were, in fact, written hy Ulysses. Coiistautiu Koliades, the sou of Spidi- d ou Koliades, a descendant in tbe direct line from Enmeus, King of Syros, with the " Iliad" and Odyssey" impressed on bis memory, or in his hand, visited all the localities mentioned in both these works, and was struck by the surprising ex- actness and truth of the Homeric descriptions. Such As they had been sketched 3000 years ago, such he found them, with all the' features and variety of the places. The island aud port of Ithaca ; Mount Nerilus ; the Grotto of the Nymphs, and the Fountain of Arelhusa; Ihe spot where Teleniacbiis landed on bis return from Pyles; the ruinsof the town nnd palace of Ulysses ; the Temple of Jupiter; the platform and parapet; on his plan is evCn Ihe duhghill where Ulysses's clog, the faith- ful Argns, died for joy on beholding his muster again iu Hie banqiieling- room; the Tltalamoson aud the apartments of the women; the staircase; and, finally, the bed chamber of Penelope, described with such miraculous accuracy, especially the nuptial court, supported hy - n throne of olive wood ornamented by Ulysses with gold and ivory, imply- ing a supposition that Ulysses alone could know those places which are so well described Koliailes visited afterwards the other important spots men- tioned iu both poems— the Greek camp, the hill with wild fig- trees, from whence Troy was to be attacked, the gardens of Priam, and Ihe sources of the Scam nder; the plain w here were the tombs of Hector and Myrinua; that of Ilus, on the road from t ie town to the camp; the tombs of Achilles, Patroelus, and Autilochus, on the eminence of the shores of the Hellespont. The battles so wonder- fully well described, where you may trace Ajax and Achilles, Hector and Eneas, Ulvsses and Agamemnon, even the shades where their tents were pitched. Nature never showed herself more faithful iu justifying Ihe truth ofa description 3000 years old. Here the elegant and learned Professor exclaims " How could a blind man have described so many countries with such exactness?" He who disguised the hero of the Odyssey as a beggar, to slay the suitors ol Penelope, does be not appear to have coacealcd himself under the mask of Clysses, to write liis own history ? It may be objected thai a poet might have visited alt the spots rendered illustrious by the Trojan war. But Koliades is r gill in observing that a poel could not have developed Ihe progress of the war, and Ihe details of the battles, with so much order and truth. Vol- » , Tasso, and Virgil, have also sung battles, but it is very evident that they were not present thereat. Hon er, on the other hand, be he who lie may, has bori e a part iu whatever he describes, Next comes [ FURTHER ACCOUNT.] The Dolphin, which was a very old store- ship, has heen laid down as a convict hulk for above 12 years, and from some cause or other was about to be dis- continued as a recepfable for convicts, and a very fine and much larger vessel, the Cumberland, which is lying in the same dock- yard, was fitting up for that purpose. We believe we may venture to state that the Dolphin had become somewhat crazy and wall sided. There had been erections made on the deck, and she was top- heavy. At ebb- tide, she was sup ported by piles, being moored within 150 paces of the dock, which was left dry when the tide was out. From the hulk to the shore was affixed a platform, on which two persons could walk abreast. The over- seer of the Dolphin, Captain Lloyd, retired to bed with his wife in his cabin, on Thursday night, before 11 o'clock, and left the Quarter- master in care of the vessel. To account for the accident, it may be as well to premise, that for the last 20 years there have been no Such high tides in the Mcdway as within the last few weeks, and that a great quantity of mud had been settled under the bottom of the ship. The accident was owing to the bottom of the vessel adher- ing to the mil l hy suction, till the water had risen six feet higher on the side of the vessel than it would have done had the vessel risen with the tide; ami the hold soon became filled with water, which forced its way through the scuppers. Before any alarm was given, there is not the least doubt that the lower deck w as covered with two feet of water, and at that mo- ment two hundred human beings, buried in profound sleep, w ere locked in, and totally unconscious of their perilous silnation. There were nearly 200 more con- « - i fs on { he second deck, and, ill all, the vessel contained iivarly 500 persons. It was precisely one oYl. ck, on Friday morning, when a Sheemess boat, belonging to Commissioner . Lewis, passed', down the rivif Medway, about half a mile from the Dolphin, and tbe persons on board observed the vessel as she fell upon her beam ends. Tbe cries, groans, and yells of the convicts were terrific, and the inhabitants of the village of Uphor, which is about half a mile distant from the part of tlie river where the Dolphin was lying, were alarmed by the dreadful sounds which had broken their slumbers, and it was conjectured by many that the convicts had Tisen upon the officers of the ship, and bail attempted to e> cape. In a few minutes after the alarm was given that tire vessel was sinking a gun was fired as a signal of distress, the bells of the dock- yard and garrison were rung, and blue lights were hung out at the mast of every vessel on the river. The confusion and consternation that prevailed defy description. The troops in the garri- son, consisting of part of a division of marines, and part of the 17th regiment of Foot— in all about 200 — were mustered in about 20 minutes on tbe beach ill the dock yard ; and during that period Captain l. loyd, Quartei master. Hancock, and the boatsw ain, Jonathan Monrhorrse, were actively engaged in using all their efforts to save the lives of the convicts, The signals of distress had brought numbers of the shipwrights belonging to the dock- yard to the spot, ami they proceeded iu boats to the side of til Vessel. About one hundred and fifty of theconvicts bad by that time escaped from the lower deck, many having been pulled through the port- holes ( the stanchions of which had been beaten in), and others had escaped up tbe gang- way. The ship- wrights, with axes, were directed lo cut boles iu the top of the decks, aud also in the side of the vessel; aud through one aperture 35 men were taken out, in a state of exhaustion, and' almost dead. They had kept their heads above water for nearly au hour, by holding to the tops of their hammocks. Before two o'clock 380 convicts, many of them perfectly naked, and none having more clothing than a shirt on, were taken from the vessel, aud were inarched along the beach by the military, to a place about a quarter ofa mile distant from the ship, and contiguous to the hospital ship Caiiada. The latter vessel was prepared for their reception by Dr. Robertson, who was mainly instrumental iu saving the lives of some of the unfortunate creatures, and whose zeal and activity were beyond all piaise. One poor fellow, who had served the seven years lo which he had been sentenced, except five days, exclaimed, 011 leaping through one of the port- holes, " Oil, Lord, save me, 1 have served my time, anil now I shall be drowned!" The convicts. Who bad been marched towards the hospital ship, huddled to' save them- selves, as much as possible, from tfife effects of a sharp sea breeze, which was blow ing on the shore; aud it is a positive fact, that many, ill a state of nudity, were exposed to the cold for above four hours, and some of them were carried to the hospital ill a dying state. Dr. Robertson had been sent for between one and two o'clock, and he arrived 011 Ihe spot before two, and ordered beds to be placed on the decks of the hospital ship. The convicts who were 011 the beach were brought to the hospital ship, ten at a time, and alter being well rubbed, had a cordial administered, and were w rapped up in blankets and laid 011 the beds. About twenty of the convicts had sustained slight injuries in their efforts to escape from the vessel, and they received particular attention. It is worthy of observation, that not one of Ihe convicts attempted to escape, and their sufferings were so dreadful that some of them are not yet out of danger. The following is Captain Lloyd's statement of the distressing occur- rence :— " I retired to bed, with my wife, in my cabin, on Thursday night, before eleven o'clock, and left the vessel in the care of the quarter- master. The tide was rising rapidly at that time, and the vessel ap- peared to ride well. Shortly before tweheoMock I was awoke, and struck with the peculiar position of the ship. I found that she had hCslc'd aud was inclining so far towards her beam- ends that it was almost impossible to walk 011 the floor of the cabin, and the furniture had slided from the larboard lo Ihe starboard side of the ship. 1 leaped out of bed, and requested my wife to follow nie to the main- deck. I was in my shirt, and when 1 got upon deck I found the vessel had dropped her head on the starboard side. I ran down below, aud the boatswain, at my desire, descended into the hold, aud having fathomed it, he found six feet of water there. The boatswain slipped off a plank into the water, and with some difficulty was taken out; I got the pumps to work, and continued them for some time, but the water increased in the hold, aud rushed in at the scuppers; 1 went to the quarter- master 011 the main- deck, and asked him whether the vessel was not hanging by the fore- piles; I ran to the lower deck, aud found it was up to my knees iu water. There were 200 convicts on that deck, and they were all quiet, not being aware of the water having rushed In. 1 kept the pumps at work, and about one o'clock ( an hour had elapsed since the first al inn) the vessel gave a sudden lurch, and was thrown upon her starboard broad- side. Finding' the danger imminent, I broke open tbe fastenings of all the decks where the con- victs were at that time locked in, aiill called to those ou the lower deck to escape as quick as possible. The rush they made to the. gangway was tremendous, and the place was choked tip very soou.— The stanchions of the port- holes were bi okeu open, and some of the convicts escaped through them. The whole of the 200 convicts in the lower deck had to walk through deep water, aud before all were got out, the water bad risen to a great depth oa the second deck. " The convicts were using every effort to escape from thence, and holes were cut in the larboard side of the vessel and on the main deck, through which many of them effected their escape in a state of exhaustion. I attribute the accident lo the vessel adhering to the mod, which had accumulated, " 11 consequence of the recent high tides, at the bot- tom ; and I blamed the Quarter- master for not discovering that the vessel did not rise with the tide." Moorhouse, the boatswain of the ship, states that he was awoke at half- past twelve o'clock from his sleep, and he found the hold tilled with water; he fell into the water and was nearly drowned ; he assisted in getting out the convicts as soon as the vessel had fallen 011 her beam- ends. On Friday every exertion was used to right the vessel, by- means of hawsers, & c. and she was raised at high tide several feet towards her perpendicular, when the ropes broke, and she fell again on her beam- ends. Fortunately no one was injured by the breaking of the ropes. Mr. Hawkes, the assistant builder, aided by Messrs. Wilmot and Lair used every exertion in their power, during the whole of Saturday, to bring the vessel to her former position, and they hope to succeed the next tide. Before the number of persons who had perished by the accident was ascertained, a messenger was despatched from Chatham to the Secretary of State's Office. Mr. Capper arrived at Chatham on Friday morning, and an express was sent to Mr. Peel, to inform him of the nature and extent of the injuries which had been sustained. One poor fellow, named Edwards, was seriously, if not fatally, wounded by one of the carpenters, as he was cutting open a part of the vessel with an axe. As soon as the aperture was sufficiently large for a man to get through it, Edwards was determined to have the first chance of escaping, and he struggled with some of his tellow convicts for precedency. He thrust his head through the aperture : at that instant the carpenter, not being aware of his intention, struck a blow with his axr, which cut open - the man's skull, and he lies in a dangerous condition in the hospital. The bodies of the three men who were drowned were removed to a vessel on the river, for a coroner's inquest to be held thereon. ffctioccUaneouo intelligence. We stated several months ago that an ingenious discovery of Mr. Neilson, of the Glasgow Gas Works, had been in operation at Clyde iron- works, by which it was ascertained that air discharged from bellows, or other blowing apparatus, greatly promotes com- bustion in fires and furnaces by being heated before it is thrown into them. The experiments made have completely established that not only is a great saving of fuel effected by the furnaces being blown with heated air, but the iron is generally of the best quality. From the subjoined result of 11 castings by furnaces blown with hot and cold air, our readers will observe that the furnace blown with heated air, with tbe same charges, has not only produced a larger quan- tity of pig iron, but what is of the greatest conse- quence, it is all of the best sort, No. 1, while that of the blast furnace heated in the common way is generally of inferior quality :— HOT AIR PURNACR.

CASS OF FRAUD.—[ From the Coventry Herald.] — A considerable sensation has been excited in this city hy the absconding of George Eyre, a ribbon ma- nufacturer. This person some years ago compounded with his creditors, but under such circumstances that enabled him readily to procure credit, and he carried on his trade to its accustomed extent. Some weeks since, one of his acceptances was dishonoured of the amount of £ 250, and he placed ribbon9 as security in the hands of the drawer of the bill. On Saturday fortnight he applied for the goods, on the plea of having a customer lor them; and they were, in COIN fidence of his honesty, given up to him. On that day he sold goods to the amount of about £ 700, and he requested the buyer to send him the money in three checks. These checks be had cashed in the course of the next week at different banking bouses, and it is supposed he procured gold for them. He had previ- ously borrowed of a gentleman £ 450, 011 pretence of making a purchase of property at Bedworth, where he said he intended to reside, and this money was to be secured by a mortgage on the premises. Of course file purchase was not. made. On Saturday week he made another sale of ribbons, to the amount of £ 78, for which he obtained immediate payment, but he sent but £ 60 worth of them to the buyer. On Satur- day night, at ten o'clock, he went to a bookseller's, and paid him about 30s. for books which had been previously obtained, aud which included the whole of Cobbett's works upon America, which it seems he had studied with particular attention. About the middle of that week his wife and family left home, as it was said,- on a visit to Birmingham, to which Eyre, as it was given out, followed them on the Sunday morning. Towards the end of last week, suspicion was excited by his absence, and on inquiry in the neighbourhood it was found that the key of the premises was left with the occupant of an adjoining house. When an er. trance was procured, a letter was found addressed to a cre- ditor, justifying his conduct in thus availing himself of the opportunity of obtaining the money he pos- sessed, and of transporting himself and family out of the country. A docket is said to have been struck against him, but it is not likely that he will surrender. There appears little doubt but that the delinquent has proceeded to America via Liverpool. ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.— On Tuesday week died, at Rawcllffe, Yorkshire, at the great age of 91 years, James Herst, long known for his extraordinary appearance and eccentric habits. He was by trade a tanner, but soon gave up his business. He then purchased his coffin, in which he ever after kept his victuals, and exhibited for a small remuneration. His rooms were hung round with agricultural implements, rusty iron, and old nails. The inmates consisted of himself, a man and woman servant, a tame fox, an otter, and a bull. He cohstantly visited L'oncaster races, in a carriage of his own workman- ship, draw n by asses or dogs He was 011 the ground the last race week distributing apples to his acquaint- ance. I11 his shooting excursions he rode a bull, and was attended by dogs and pigs, the latter of which he trained to carry the game. He had three bulls,- which he kept for the sole purpose of baiting at country fairs, w hen his man collected money from the populace He had notes engraved in imitation of the Bank of England, with a representation of himself mounted 011 a bull, and attended by dogs and pigs. He continued all his follies, probably the offspring of vanity, to his life's end, and will long be remembered by thousands, though it may be said of him, with as much truth as it was applied by Dr. Johnson, 4* Where lie's gone, or how lie fares, Nobody knows, aud nobody cares." LONGEVITY OF TREES.— The ficus indica, which grows 011 the banks of the Nerbudda, covers an extent of ground 2,000 feet in circumference. It is supposed that this is the same tree described by Nearchus. If so, it is at least 2,500 years old ; and it is worthy of remark that, according to an ancient tradition, this tree covered with its shade an army of full 7,000 men. An oak at Oxford, near which Mag- dalen College was built, was cut down in 1789, and was supposed to have been planted at tbe time of tbe Norman conquest. Strut!, in his Sylva Britannica, mentions a walnut tree, called by Camden the great walnut of Tortwortb, regarded as the oldest and largest tree in England ; even in the time of King Stephen, who mounted the throne in 1135, it was considerable for its size, and served as a boundary to the parish of Tortworth, in Gloucestershire. It is said that this tree requires 300 years to attain maturity, and the one in question was probably more than a thousand. In Lombardy is the celebrated cedar of Soma, eleven Milanese cubits in circumference, and the roots of which are said to extend under great part of the town. It existed, of the very same size, in the sixteenth century; and faith may be placed in the tradition that it was growing when Caissfr visited this country. Further accounts have just been received of Capt. Ross, who, in the Victory steam ship, was on the 25th of July, in latitude 57, N. The fair wind with which they sailed left them the day after, and they carried away part of their fore- mast; but would not touch at any port to refit, lest it should give rise to un- favourable reports. After five days more, they got again a fair wind, which in a fortnight carried them to the harbour of Holsteinberg, in Greenland, where they providentially found the Rockwood, of London, deserted by her crew, and from which, therefore, they replaced their mast, and supplied themselves wifli provisions and stores. In a few hours after- wards they sailed in a more complete state than when they left England. They were all in good health and spirits, and had received the most cheering account possible of the state of the ice, the inhabit- ants saying they had never seen so little ice; and if ever the north- west passage was to be made, it would be this year. The wind was fair, the weather ex- tremely favourable, and the crew behaving in the most exemplary manner. It may not, perhaps, be known that Captain James Clark Ross, F. R. S. the captain's nephew, who accompanied him and Captain Parry in all the former voyages to the polar regions, has also gone out in the present expedition. A point of law has been agitated in the Court Roya of Paris, arising out of the will of the eccentric nobleman, the late Earl of Bridgewater. The question submitted to the court was, whether legatees under a will, who were proceeding for the sale of immovable property, could require the sale to be made through the agency of a notary, or hy a public auction The court ordered the legatees of the Earl of Bridge water to sell his immoveable property, an hotel, situated in Rue St. Honorc, through the agency of the notary, at the hall of the notaries, at Paris. On Saturday evening last, tbe coach called the Yarmouth Mail and Telegraph, which runs from the White Horse, Fetter lane, left that inn about seven o'clock, full inside and out, and a large quantity of luggage on the roof and in the hind boot. On the coach arriving at Ilford it changed horses, and then proceeded on to a village called Chadwcll, about two miles from the former place, where, according to usual custom, Lee, the coachman, pulled up; when on going behind the coach lie discovered that the boot liad been broken open, and all the contents, consist- ing of two carpet bags, a portmanteau, a small box, a gentleman's cloak, and a lady's pelisse, had been carried off by the robbers. The horse patrol had, about ten minutes before the coach came up, passed through the village, and upon discovery of the rob- bery the horsekeeper was dispatched ou horscback after him, and almost immediately they both return- ed, ami the circumstance being communicated to him, he said that he had observed a horse and cart, in which were four or five men, lurking on the road midway between the two places, and had bade them good night, 1| Ut no answer was returned. It was therefore placed beyond a doubt that these were the gang who had perpetrated the robbery, and there- upon the patrol without delay galloped off 011 the road towards London in search of the thieves, when, 011 reaching a field half way between Chadwell and Ilford, he observed several men standing together, apparently talking. He rode towards them, at the same time calling to them, but they made no answer, and ran off towards a hedge, which they jumped over into another field, followed by the patrol, but on coming to a second hedge he could proceed no fur- ther, as there was 110 possibility of getting over, and the men thereby were enabled to effect their escape. The patrol, finding all further pursuit at an end, returned across the field he first saw the men stand- ing in, w hen, on reaching the spot where they stood, his horse shyed at something lying on the grass ; he instantly dismounted, when, to his astonishment, he discovered the whole of the stolen property, with the exception of the cloak aud pelisse, which the thieves had abandoned in their flight. The patrol immedi ately procured assistance and removed them to ! place of security, and next morning delivered them up to Mr. Clifford, the book- keeper at the White Horse, Fetter- lane, and received a reward for the promptitude with which he had acted. FORGERY OF A MARRIAGF. REGISTER.— Tbe forgery of au entry iu a marriage register- book belonging to a parish in the city of London, has recently been detected, which, bad it passed un- noticed, might have very materially compromised the title to certain estates of great value, aud affected a title now supposed to be extinct. Il appears that iu July last a couple of persons applied to the parish clerk, who then kept the keys of the registers in question, and, giving him half a sovereign, sent him out of the vestry on some trifling erraud. During his absence Ihe entry is supposed to have been made on an erasure. Though well executed, the forgery, on' examination, is palpable, aud the incumbent has since, w e under- stand, very properly refused to give a certified copy of it. It bad been better, perhaps, if the reverend gentleman bad perused more carefully the act of parliament bound up in the new register- books, placing- these valuable documents in his sole custody, and originally passed ( in coiisequence of a similar fraud, apparent in the course of a late celebrated trial) for the express purpose of denying access to unauthorised persons, and throwing the responsibility of the security of parish registers 011 the incumbents. NEW POULTRY.— The Marquis De la Fayette has been the first to introduce into France the horco fowl from South America. Mr. M'Arthur, late of the Ganges, is the first individual who has brought them to this country. The latter gentleman, landed from South America two cocks aud two hens of the real hocco, a pair of which he presented to Admiral Holkett, of Uplands, and the other to John M'Arthur, Esq. of Hinton Lodge. The Ganges had a passage of 54 days from Rio. These birds were landed 011 271b August; and it is a remarkable circumstance,' that after experiencing a long sea voyage, and 30 degrees less of heat, the hen that was sent to Hinton laid an egg 17 days successively after her arrival, and she is now hatching. The hen sent to Uplands has been equally prolific. The cocks ( which are true game) stand as high, and are as large as turkeys, and the hens are in proportion.— Hampshire Telegraph. An Association has been formed in Leeds for the supervision of the statements of bankrupts and in- solvents in Great Britain and Ireland, who may be debtors to any of the Members of this Association. And at a late Meeting it was deter mined that as, iu cases of insolvency, false statements are too fre- quently presented to the creditors, the Members of this Association deem it proper, in future, not to accept from any house a composition Ibnauy debt, without having first investigated tbe state of their atfairs. The number of Members in the Association amounts to thiity- two, including most of the, priuci- pi. l mercantile'firms in the town. LAUNCH OF IRON VESSELS.— Yesterday, a some- what novel sight was witnessed in Wallasey Pool. An iron vessel had been constructed by Messrs. Laird and Co. at their extensive steam- boiler establishment, on the southern side of the Pool, and between eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon all was ready for launching. She started down the ways about ten yards, when she was checked in her descent by the shrinking of the cradle within a few yards of the water's edge, where she stuck for a short time, until she received assistance from a steam- boat, which had brought a number of gentlemen from Liverpool to witness the ceremony. Thus aided by a line from the steamer, she descended into the water amidst the acclamations of the workmen and bystanders. Some anxiety had been manifested to ascertain the quantity of water she would draw upon being committed to the watery element. This was soon made apparent by the register on her bottom only drawing 14 inches, being a less draught than that of a vessel of equal tonnage built of timber. She is of a beautiful mould, and looked exceedingly well and buoyant: she mea- sures 60 feet long, 13 feet beam, 7i feet deep, measures 54 tons, carpenter's measurement, and will carry about 90 tons dead weight. Previously to being launched she had received a coating of a chymical cement, inside and out, to prevent Ihe oxygenization of the iron. She is intended for the inland Irish Steam Navigation Company, recently established.— An iron steam- boat of a peculiar con- struction, having Ihe paddles iu the centre, was tried in the river 011 Monday, aud the result was highly satisfactory.— Liverpool Chronicle. At Bow- street Police- office, on Monday, an arti- zan, named Daniel Dobbs, was brought up by one of the new police- men, who found him lying dead drunk in the gutter in Arundel street, Strand, with a to- baeco- hox in bis pocket containing three £ 100 notes, his property! A similar case of improvidence occurred a few days ago in Holborn, where a man was found lying drunk in the street, with £ 325 in one of his cleuched hands!

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. The unparalleled depression which exists ill every branch of national industry, is becoming every day more apparent; and however ministers may flatter themselves that by procrastinating the meeting of parliament the public mind may lose a portion of its present irritation, they will be convinced, ere the first week of the session lias ended, that they will have to set about the work of reformation in good earnest. It is beyond question that the commercial enterprise of the nation is almost annihilated, aud consequent misery prevailing in every district. The complaints of the agriculturalists are now beginning to assume an aspect of fearful magnitude ; and this only was wanting to complete the measure of public woes.— Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. EGYPTIAN ANTKJUITIVS.— Letters have been received at Marseilles from M. Champollion, up to July 4.— At that date, the researches in the tombs of the Kings at Thebes were completed, and the results of five months' labour were of great interest. Among them is " A Table of the Rising of the Constellations of every Hour of the Months of the Year," with the influence of each constellation.

In the rear of what was the site of Exeter Change, a chapel of ease to St. Martin's parish U about to be erected.

CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY.— The assembly of the Clergy in Parliamont is as much an integral part of the Constitution as the presence of the Commons, and has only fallen into desuetude since the reign of Henry Vlfl. when the Clergy, obeying the Pope rather than the King, kept aloof from the Lay Parliament, and formed a distinct assembly. Henry VIII. not having the power to prevent their meeting, impeded the proceedings of the Clergy by divers vexatious statutes, by depriving them of many privileges, and by impairing the rights of the Convocation, so that since the year 1665, wheu the Clergy no longer claimed the privilege of taxing- themselves, the Convocation has become a non- entity. It is however held, as a mere matter oif form, duriug every session of Parliament, it sum- moned as heretofore, by the King's writ, and is di*- solved by the like authority. Its present constitution is an upper and a lower house. In the upper house sit the Bishops, and in the lower the inferior Clergy represented by their Proctors, consisting of all the Deans and Archdeacons, and one Proctor for every Chapter aud two for the Clergy of every diocese, iu all 243 divines. BARONY OF KINTAIL AND EARLDOM OF SEA- FORTH.— At Tarn, on Thursday, the 15th instant, before a highly respectable jury, of whom Sir James YVeniyss Mackenzie, of Seatwcll, Bart, was Chancellor » George Falconer Mackenzie, Esq. of Allangrange, was served nearest and lawful heir male in general of the deceased Kenneth, first Lord Kintail, his great- great- great- great- grandfather, under the royal letters, or patent of nobility, dated 17th November, 1609; and also nearest and lawful heir male of the deceased Colin, first Earl of Seaforth, his great- great- great- grandnncle, under tbe royal letters, or patent of nobility, dated 3d December, 1623.

S.— After the service, the chief entertained his friends at Ellison's Hotel, where the health and pro- sperity of the representative of the honours of Kin tail was drunk with acclamation. ' To testify their joy at this event, the populace chaired Allangrange through the town 011 coming out of the Court- house.— / nverness Courier. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.— Two gentlemen, con- nected w ith the Taunton Bank, applied to the Lord Mayor of London, 011 Wednesday, for a warrant to search a lodging- house in lroninonger- lane, Cheap- side, in consequence of a very serious robbery committed there. The proprietors of the above Bank are ill the habit of sending up to London cash and bills to a considerable amount, and the person usually employed iu conveying such property is a respectable tradesman of Taunton, who stitches the bundle in the pocket of his coat, which he never lakes off until lie arrives in town. He had on this last journey to London adopted tbe same precau- tion, and upon reaching town 011 Sunday night, he went lo the lodging- house of Mrs. Andrews, Iroii- monger- lane, where lie had been in the habit of sleeping. At nine o'clock, after takiug a glass of ale and some tea, he retired to his room, and as he was accustomed to do, put all his clothes uuder his head. He states, that being fatigued he soou fell asleep, and npou awaking, he found that, instead of being under his head, his clothes were 011 a chair. This alarmed him, but upon examining his coat lie found his parcel stitched up in the pocket. He then concluded all was right, aud that he must in a dream have disturbed his clothes. However, upon putting his hand into his breeches- pocket, he felt that his purse, in which he had deposited four sovereigns, contained only one. Again he was embarrassed ; for the bundle which he had received from the Bankers contained between £ 500 and £ 600 iu bank notes, aud between £ 4000 and £ 5000 in bills. Upon cutting open the pocket, although he found the acceptances in their proper place, all the cash had been removed. The thief must have found the tradesman in a very deep sleep indeed, for the clothes could not have been removed with- out disturbing au ordinary sleeper, and some time must have been occupied in unpacking the parcel, repacking it, and sewing up the pocket afresh, after the money had been separated from the bill*. — The Lord Mayor expressed surprise at the cir- c inistauee, and asked whether the tradesman had not locked the door?— To this it was replied there was no lock to the door, and that although there was a bolt il would not shoot, and other fastening there was none.— The Lord Mayor directed Mr. Cape, the Marshal, to go to the house with a war- rant, but be relumed without any intelligence of the cash, or of the means by which it had been abstracted. Upon inquiring into the character of the house, Ihe Marshal learned that other robberies had been committed there. One gentleman had been plundered there a short time ago of 105 sovereigns, which were cut from his valise.— The Lord Mayor asked whether the people of the house seemed to be aware of such practices?— Mr. Cope said that they could not deny that robberies had been complained of as having been committed there. — Thus Ihe matter rests for the present.
