The usjentu in this conspiracy lied a district of country, and various ferocious anditti passed from different quarters to execute teir judgment on him who dared to act for himself 1 his conduct towards his tenantry. I would call onr attention to a circumstance peculiarly remark- ble in this place. Mr. Creagh being that year igli. sheriff, had two footmen to his carriage, Dr. lorcott but one; vet it so happened that in leaving lr. Evans's, Dr. Norcott had two persons on tS « arriage In their eagerness to execute, the con- pirators looking no further than this distinguishing lark, fired into Dr. Norcott's carriage, in the be" ief that it was Mr. Creagh's, and then fled, in the ope that they had executed their vengeance, " here is so much of evidence to travel through, and 0 varied and separated, that I can only furnish you vith an outline. You will find ( hat on thedsth of • ebruary there was a meeting at the house of a nan named Flynn, at Wallstown, where four of the • onspirators, James Roche, John Magner, Pat. Magrath, and Pat. Lynch, were present. There hey discussed the utility rrf s' ooting Mr. Bond Low, as he cafne from Mallow fair, suggesting the ) lan, and appointing Glover's screen as the place. " The fair of Mallow took place on the 2d t} f last March. True to the appointment, the party assetn- iled at Mallo > v, and again ( for their oaths were as aumerous as their meetings) bound themselves to lecrecy and action. Magrath and Roche left the fair early for Glover's screeii. l When Mr. Low arrived at the spot, lie was immediately fired at. rwo men jumped over the ditch— you will mind this part of the evidence— Mr. Low's hat fell off in consequence of his horse starting from a wound inflicted by the fire- arms, and imagining their object was effected, the ruffians fk> d, thinking it unnecessary to waste ammunition in any further attempt. With that gallantry and presence of mind only equalled by his forbearance in a late notorious instance, Mr. Low pursued the fugitives, searched the wood, and made prisoner Patrick Magrath, who lay hid in the underwood, and who has since pai- J the forfeit of his climes. The other two now on trial escaped. On the next day ( Shrove Tuesday, March 3,) a meeting of the conspirators was again held at the house of Dnane, the publican. They talked over the transaction of the preceding dav, lamented its failure, aud deplored the capture of Magrath, who, being a sot, over- drank himself, and thus he became prisoner. Thoy added, that as the assizes were approaching, Low would hang him, unless something wore done to cut him off," and a' rivalry took place to see who should achieve it. One claimed the honour because he had transported his brother; another, because he was his near neighbour ; and a third, because he had missed him on a former occasion. On the 1st of May the fair of Kildorrery took place, and it was known that Mr. Low would attend it. In pursuance ot their desperate resolve, the conspirators Nowlan, Magner, Roche, Magrath, and Lynch attended also. Here the second attempt on Mr. Low was put in train, and the place appointed for its execution was a ditch between Farrah aud Kildorrery, distant about half a mile from the latter. Mr. Low, in returning" from the fair, was accompanied by a gentleman not then proscribed, and to whose presence on this occasion he owed his life. Besides those which I have already detailed, there were many oth * r meet- ings : at one of those, William Shine, a prisoner at the bar, aud then a tenant of . Mr. Creagh's ( for it was one of the effects of these associations to do away with the wholesome aud legitimate ties that bound society together), wa » present. Here Shine complained of some case between him and his laud- lord, and submitted it to the committee, for they entertain the silly notion that they can make regu- lations with regard to the disposal of property, where the legislature itself could not possibly inter- fere, and which the law of the land leaves to be governed by circumstances. Shine put his case in Leary's hands, the conduct of his landlord ( Mr. Creagh) was canvassed, and his death decreed. Shine was aware of this. In happier days, before his connexion with this lawless association, he had some money, a considerable sum lor him, which he lodged with Mr. Creagh, occasionally taking from it for particular purposes, but again returning it to keep up the original stock. This was so for years ; but the moment the decree against his banker and landlord went forth, Shine demands and obtains his money, not in the usual manner^ but all at once. The magistrates were apprised from time to time of much of what was going forward, aud about the end of May they thought proper to arrest all those implicated upon whom they could lay hands. ( Here the Solicitor- General went at great length into the law of the ens", as applicable to the prison- ers, and particularly to the evidence of infurmers, three or four of whom he had to produce to bring the charges home to the prisoners, aud he then concluded as follows.)— If I have brought forward accomplices, their testimony coincides, as corro- borated by circumstances, and supported by other and more credible witnesses, and the jury will give to the circumstances that consideration which They may deny to the persons. 1 would call your atten- tion to the case against Leary, who, removed from the temptation poverty holds out to crime, remains aloof in comparative security, sending out his less guilty emissaries to execute his bloody edicts. If the jury believe these facts, his is not a case that will excite the greatest sympathy. It is not likely that he will in this his hour of need be altogether debi ted. It is likely he will find many to" speak for him as to character, but if the facts against hint be proved, what will character avail ? God forbid that I should strive to rob reputation ofthe import- ance which may attach to it in the hour of ueed, or deny it its legitimate influence; but it is little • adapted to negative the offence laid to the charge ! of the prisoner. Of what avail is it that he be 1 industrious in his pursuits, be faithful in his cou- tracts, and sober in his habits, if foul conspiracy 1 and midnight murder can be laid to his charge, and ; traced to his suggestions ?** FUNERAL OK THE ECCENTRIC JAMES HIRST.— . The remains of this eccentric individual, placed in the , coffin which he had for years exhibited to the public, 1 and had used as a cupboard, were interred on Satur- ( day last, the 17th instant. It was his express wish t( i • be carried to the grave by eight old maids, each of j whom was to be paid 10s. < i I for her trouble ; and if i this could not be effected, eight widows were to lie . engaged at 2s. 6d. each, to perform the same service. . The former wish, however, onhl not be co nplic I e with, either from a want of n sufficient number, <> i Y from a desire of not publicly acknowledging • designation of such a contumelious and an appalling . import. The funeral proceeded from the house til y the chapel, about four o'clock. The corpse wa. I borne by eight widows, and a solemn tune was per . formed the while with a bagpipe and fiddle, tt> c t former being played by a Scotch shepherd, ami i'.,, I latter by a person of Rawcliffe. During the ceremony n • the chapel was crowded to evre- ts• and the nuriibc s j of spectators from the surrounding villages to wit h ' ness the obsequies to a man wh ise eccentric habit y j had become proverbial throughout the district, i y computed at upwards of 1000. — Doncaster Gazette s ALARMING AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT F R r.

CONSPIRACY TO MURDER; A special commission has been sitting at Cork, ring the last week, for the trial of twenty- one iividuals, charged with a deliberate and remorse- ' s conspiracy to murder three niagistrates of the unty of Cork, viz. Admiral Evans, Mr. Creagh, and Mr. Low: The first four prisoners put on their trial were mied John Leary, James Roche, James Magrath, and William Shine; and the case being fully proved ; aiust them, they were capitally convicted. The alleged motives to vengeance against Admiral Evans and the other gentlenien were so various as greatly to aggravate the guilt and horror of the hole transaction, since in no one of th-? three in- uuces can we find the shadow of a palliation for e intended crime of murder, in any of those • ueral, and sudden, and sweeping causes which flame on occasion the sympathies of a multitude ' men, and hurry them on to perpetrate some wild id fierce atrocity. There was no insurrection in the county of Cork; le magistrates had not been hunting down any ass, or sect, or party, of the people ; the landlords ; id not been ejecting their tenants wholesale ; of le tithe proctor there was no complaint; there as to alt appearance no spirit prevalent of more iail ordinary anger or ill- blood: there was no xcitement visible to which a temporary excess or utrage might have appealed for pardon; yet this me of imagined serenity aiid composure was erverted to objects fit only for the meditation of emons,— the foul and butcherly murder of persons i the upper walks of life, for no reason but that ne of them had exercised his lawful rights as a uidlord ; another of them, Mr. Low, had discharged is duties as a magistrate ; and a third, Admiral Evans, had spoken and voted in parliament against Catholic Emancipation. If the several actions thus imputed by the con- pirators themselves to their future victims, as the nly crimes for which they deserved assassination, — if such, we say, are to draw down the punish- nent of midnight murder oil the gentlemen of an rish county, can we feel much astonishment at the ' rowds of absentees from Ireland, who infest Great Britain and every part of Europe ? The Irish Solicitor General's opening address to he jury, which we have subjoined, was a clear and nipressive statement of the ease— borne out, in its nost essential parts, by evidence too consistent and convincing to be doubted, and doubted if does not eem to have been. In less than five minutes the rerdict of Guilty was pronounced, and four con- ipirators, the whole who were tried on that parti- : ular issue, received sentence of speedy execution. One monstrous feature in this mass of crime was he individual who took the lead in suborning and stimulating the more active agents in the commis- sion of it. Leary, the first in the indictment, was l man near 70 years of age, reputed to be of steady habits, in easy circumstances, punctual in the pay- ment of a rent of £ 220 a year, and tenant on the estate of Mr. Creagh's father, an old gentleman brought forward as a witness to the character of him who mainly organized the conspiracy to take away his sou's life. The Solicitor General stated the above case as f illows:— My Lords and Gentlemen of the Jury,— The prisoners at the bar stand indi ted for pro- posing, soliciting, inciting, persuading, and insti- gating, to the commission of murder. It is a charge that bears heavy on individuals, not few in number, nor low in life, to whom liberty is dear, and cha- racter is valuable, and who laboured under a stigma for which two successive grand juries pronounced there were no trifling grounds, but sufficient war. ranty to send it for the consideration of a petit jurv. It is a case, in which, if well founded, every man*! interest is involved ; but of the many considerations bound up with the inquiry, all others fade befort the high enormity, the branching extent anc atrocity, of the crime itself. It does not confitu itself to the persons now on trial, but if established tends to prove what does not alone exist in the present charge, but grows out of a system ruinous extensive, and desolating. This it is that gives i its principal importance, and with this view of it, i it be unfounded, the gentry cannot be too sooi disabused ofthe opinion ; but if otherwise, if it d< flow from a system, and be a consequence of associa tions, it is high time that other associations bi formed to counteract their influence, and I eonfi dently predict the period is now arrived to look a the evil boldly. God forbid that I should use th aggravated nature of the charge, to produce an undue impression against the unfortunate men wh stand charged with it; but if 1 am rightly informer it will be established by evidence, that there exists and has long existed, an extensive confederacj, bound together by oaths, acting in concert, heade by captains, directed by committees, whose authorit is acted on, and obeyed by instruments ever rip and ready to act at their guilty bidding, aud ob? their edicts of robbery and murder. It will b sworn that Leary ranks high in the gradations c this conspiracy,— not simply as a captain,— he take his station as a committee man, a man of years, t station, of comparative importance. He holds bin self aloof from the active and perilous duty— but h supplies, he advises, he counsels, excites, suggest: stimulates, whilst the subordinate and person! duties are left to partizaus of less value ; he acts i counsel: he is the head to suggest, — they are til arms to execute. Not only is lie of the committer but he also administers oaths— first, an oath of general nature, imposing secrecy and readiness i all times to take arms, and for all purposes; an then, particular oaths as to the individual transa tions. We are now but treating a symptom of tl disease, which prompts to this taking up of arn for no definite purpose— not to protect, but to pe petrate. 1 could traverse back for months into narrative of this conspiracy, of which, to- day, v probe but a single member. Its object did n merely affect the gentlemen against whom the pr sent proceedings were point, d— it embraced a wid scheme, and contemplated more general purpose I a the month of November last, a little before tl shot was fired at Dr. Norcott's carriage, David Sheehan, one of the witnesses, will prove t- h passing the road by Leary's house, with whom 1 was acquainted, the latter addressed and appoint to meet him on a certain day at a public- house Doneraile. Sheehan, in consequence of this a pointment, met a party whom he will name to yoi among theui was Leary, who asked if the boys we ready ? Sheehau asked for what ? and the rep was, " to shoot Bond Low, Creagh, and Evans All opportunity of putting their design into exec lion was occasioned by Mr. Creagh being of a par with a number of gentlemen who dined with Admiral Evans. And what was the cause of this dark co spiracy— these horrid measures which best exhil the objects of this association ? Why, Admii Evans was to be murdered for a speech he made parliament on 12th of May, 1828. That speech w circulated by the newspapers, and for this hi crime, Admiral Evans was condemned to death this just tribunal. Mr. Creagh was found guil for serving notices on his own tenants,— for exi cising his right as a landlord, and dealing with I i own property as he thought fit. The offence of » Low is of a date antecedent to 1828; he is a gent man, who, not satisfied with the mere honours > the magistracy, thinks it also incumbent on him 1 fulfil its duties; let him still continue to act as has done, and he will find his just reward in i ' security which his gallantry and intrepidity, aud the same time his humanity, will procure for h .' These are the offences for which these three n 1 have been condemned to die 1 have now to p . ceed to that part of the testimony which relates ,. the intended murder of Mr. Creagh. It will e proved that the conspiracy was formed on ni'iht of the 511th . lanil. lrv 1HOO Mr Creagh. .11 NEW ANNUAL FOR YOUTH HEALTH AND LONGEVITY SHREWSBURY HUNT. rpH EM EMBERS of the SHREWS- I BUIIY 1HJNT are requested to MEET at the UMN INN, on MONDAY, the 9th Day of November, 1829, to spend the Week with the President, U F.

COUK SPECIAL COMMISSION.— At'ler the trial and ( krtivirtiOti of the tour prisoners fii'sl arraigned ( see preccd')({ f ipajt. eJj. four others. were put on their trial", but after the evidence, & c. had been gone through, the Juryv {^ ing unable to agreo, were dis- thatiged late on Tuesday trrnitty. They w- ere unani mous in acquitting one of the prisoners, Barrett, but. differed resipectini^ the other three. Mr. Murrough, who was represented by the foreman in the early part of Tuesday as the only dissentient, took occasion, pre- vious to bemg; discharged, to explain the. real state of the efcse H^ liiforttiecf the CMirt that ttto of his brother juryrtien agreed with him in\ accquitting one of the three prisoners, and he differed frptii the rest of the jury regarding the other two j he could not bring himself to ptace any reliance upon the testi- mony of the accomplices! After a lengthened argu- ment on Wednesday, the Court decided on postponing the trial of the oiher tl^. ee prisoners, Connors, IVallis, anil. Lynch, until the1 next, assizes. This course was opposed by tire cotinsei fV> r the Crown, who desired 1o hftve the prisoners tried forthwith before another jury,' but they Were over ruled. Two other men were put ' upon their trial on Thursday morning, and acquitted ; and etere'n; then remained for trial. Assassination of ( fie Rev. Mr, Going, Extract of a letfcr from Templemore, dated the 24tb Hciober:— his morning the alarm here became very general, that, the Rev. John Going, incumbent of the parish of MealifJ^ in. this diocese ( Cashel), was shotTast higllt near his own house. Major O'Donohue ( the Police Magistrate stationed here) and a party of frolicr, 1 who were sent for express, in the course of last night, have just returned, and confirm the melancholy intelligence. The facts are as follow :- r- The Rev. Mr. Going went to Thu'rlrs yesterday morning ( Friday), and was at the Sessions Court, where he was detained somewhat late. He was riding home between six and seven dV. lock in the evening, and w hen within half a nnle of his own glebe- house, he was shot through the heart by some ruflian who awaited his return— the unfortunate gentleman instantly fell from his horse and expired! The animal proceeding home without its rider naturally alarmed Mr. Going's family, who were expecting him to dinner*, the son went out to meet his father, and found him a lifeless corpse by the si'd^ of the road It. is alleged that the provocation given by this inoffensive gentleman was, that- he was unwilling to compound the tithes Of his parish on the terms offered by the parishioners—- they refusing to allow him more than £ 300 per annUm for a parish containing 12,000 acres of titheahle land, and which was worth to bis predecessors £ 700 a- ycar, but for wbk: li he only demanded £ 4< P, and which would not be granted. He was always very kind to the poor of his parish, making every allowance in their tithes, and taking any thing, in lieu thereof, to accommodate them. Mr. Going was the brother of Major Going, who was murdered near Limerick some years since." The Clnnmel Herald, in giving an account of this horriMo transaction, says— " On examining the body, there was a large cut o . er the right eye, which, it is smpposed,, was caused by the falling of the defeased from his horse when the murderers fired at him j the next appearance was a large quantity of blood on his shirt aud waistcoat— on opening these a bullet- hole was observed immedi- ately under the left breast, and the marks of three bullet- holes in his flannel waistcoat: in. his back a bullet- hole was discovered, answering in its direction to the hole under his breast j the backs of his coat, waistcoat, and shirt exhibited awful proofs of the nearness of the murderers who fired at him; these parts of his clothes were burnt by the priming, and had the strong smell of burnt cloth. From the appearance and direction of the hole it was evident that he received the fatal shot in his back, and thgt the bullet passed out under his breast. When found, the body was quite cold; so that he must have been dead half an hour at least before he was discovered, which was about half after seven o'clock. In a very short time'after the b » dy was brought to the house, Mr. Ryan, the Magistrate, Captain Long, a Magis- trate, two Chief Constables^ and several parties of police arrived ; a strict search was made, but nO clue could be discovered to lead to the apprehension of the murderers. It is stated, and we believe trul that his ferocious slayers were on the watch, - for him since twelve o'clock. An extraordinary circumstante occurred on that day for some time back, by the usual chicanery of the payers of tithes, Mr Going was reduced to the necessity of receiving his tithes in kind— for, siiice the commencement of harvest, he received, regularly every Friday, notices to draw his tithes on the succeeding . Mondays, as the law directs-— on this Friday i o vol. ice was served, though several in the parish shou'd have ffiven such notices. This proves incontestibly that numbers of his parish- ioners knew that he had drawn the last tithes he would'ever receive— that his murder was planned, and that a conspiracy, similar to that which is now the subject of legal investigation in Cork, was entered into to deprive this worthy and inoffensive clergyman of his life. The late Mr. Going was upwards of 70 years of age— his locks as. white as wool — his health greatly ihip< iiredj and lie was impotent in one of his feet; aud this was the victim 4 the bravest and finest peasantry in the world selected for assassination in the thick darkness of night!!" The Limerick Chronicle savsr- r" The> Rev. John Going was a Clergyman amiable in his manner, in offensive in his deportment, and exemplary in his ministerial clisuueter. fie was a Magistrate, and a man of great humanity ; . the son of a most excellent gentleman, the lat- e Riciiai d Going, of B » rd- hi) l, E< q an individual liked by all the country round, and brother of the ill- fated Richard Going, Esq. Police Magistrate, who w; as so brutally murdered at Cappa, County Limerick, in October, 1821.'* At a meeting of the Privy Council, held in Dublin on Wednesday, it was resolved that a reward of £ 2000 should be offered t< jr the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrators. The Dubtiri Evening Mail of Friday says—" By letters received in town this morning, it would appear that three of the miscreants engaged in the murder of this estimable Gentleman, have been apprehended On SUNDAY MO UN IN d next, the 8th Instant, a S& KMON will be 1' reached in the Parish Church of IVEM, by the Venerable ED- IV A l(!) BA TURK, M. A. Archdeacon of Salop ; after which a Collect'ori will be made for the Bene- fit of the SCHOOL established there upon l) r. BcWs System, for the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Church of England. Wbfc, Nov. 2, 1* 29. I& j^* We have received a letter on the subject of the STKBET ACT, which, from its length and late arrival, we are compelled to omit On some parts of it we shall merely state, tha t as . the Street Act Accounts bave not been published anuu allyv as the Act directs, we know nothing ( ft tlie sitir: ti' » u of the finances; nor do we know why paupers, and persons nearly in that, . situation, have been summoned in numbers for rates and arrears. On the point of Arrears, we believe there is nothing in the Ac t that will warrant the issuing of any piocess tbrtlie recovery of any arrear; the Act contemplates only the. collection « > f an annual rate, and the amount of any rate ntfust. be collected annually or be lost. No landlord can " be made to pay a rate for premises not in his own occupation, except through the medium of his tenant, who, after paying the whole jate, has a right to deduct one .' third, which is the land- . lord's proportion, on paying' his subsequent rent. We cannot enter into li e other Statements ot' oUr Co respondent: but . < 4 the present state of the funds of the Committee must eventually undeigo public € Xahfiiuation and public exphinatioii, we would await tin? result of further proceedings.

BETLKY.— The tenants and friends of that highly- esteemed gentleman, George Toilet, Esq partook of an excellent dinner at Mr. Parks's, the Black Horse Inn, at Betley, on Thursday last, in honour of the wedding of Miss Marianne Toilet with the Rev. William Give. The dinner was served up by Mrs. Parks in a most excellent style, and consisted of all the dainties and delicacies of the season; game of every description being given by Charles Wicksted, Esq. After the cloth was drawn, the toast of " the newlv- married pair" was given, and drank with great applause, as were also the following toasts : Mr. and Mrs. Toilet, Mr Wicksted, the younger branches of the family, Francis Twemlow, Esq. Sir Thomas Boughey, Miss Fletcher, Foster Cunlifl'e, Esq. James Tomkinson, Esq. Ralph Sneyd, Esq. Josiah Wedg- wood, Esq. & c. &. c. Before the conclusion of the repast the company were much gratified by Mr. Toilet paying them a visit, and drinking their " health and happiness" The bells at Audley, Madeley, and Keel, were put in requisition on the same day, to bear testimony of the respect which is entertained for the Toilet family by the inhabitants of those places. The Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the SICK MAN'S FRIEND AND LYING- IN CHARITY was held in this town, on Tuesday the 27th ult. The Report stated that 203 Sick Cases and 102 Lying- in Cases had been relieved during the past year, at the charge of £ 103. 19s. Oil. dispensed to the former, and £ 41. Is. Oil. to the latter, and that in the whole 1421 Visits had been made to the needy parties at their places of abode. This Society is certainly an instru- ment of great usefulness, and lias deservedly secured considerable patronage ; but it is painful that its income is not sufficient to meet the expenditure, and a deficiency which has been increasing the last three years, now amounts to £ 38.13s. 7( 1. and stands as a weight upon the management of its affairs. The Committee conclude their Report as follows, viz. " With much deference it must be referred to the judgment and feelings of the benevolent inhabitants of Shrewsbury and its vicinity, whether the help so beneficially rendered to afllicted neighbours shall be diminished or not. Reduction here would be a most painful expedient; yet it is obvious that, without larger resources, it must btf resorted to, and that immediately. But will the Friends of the Poor consent to this? may it not rather be confidently hoped that the pressing circumstances of the Society being fully known, they will generously contribute their aid to disburden it of its debt, and to enable it to prosecute its . useful career with augmented energy ? A very neat Chapel, for the use of the Wesleyan Methodists, at Pulley Common, near this town, was opened on Monday last. Sermons were preached on the occasion by the Rev. J. Walinsley, of this town, and the Rev. J. Simpson, of Wellington. Yesterday, a person was lined before the Mayor and Magistrates of this town, for drunkenness and disorderly conduct on the Sabbath- Day ; as also were several licensed victuallers for keeping their houses open at undue hours.— We understand that the Mayor and Magistrates are determined to pre- serve order in the town and suburbs, by every means in their power, not only on the Sabbath, but on every day of the week On Monday last, Evan Edwards, gate keeper of Tern Turnpike Gate, was convicted, at Wellington, before T.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. — After repeated fumours, public notice, it appears, is at last given of nn intended application to Parliament, for diverting the Holyhead Road from its present line through the populous towns and dis- tricts of Shrewsbury and Oswestry,— branching off from some point neat Ketley to Chirk ( as a crow, or rather a wild goose, would fly), through the trackless wilds specified in the advertisement. The natural question arising from the proposed plan is, Cui bono, the alteration ? and what the advantages to compen- sate the necessarily to be required grant of perhaps £ 100,000 of public money to effect it? Sir Henry Parnell, and his. coadjutor, Mr. Telford, are, I under- stand, the advisers and projectors of this notable undertaking. The former, therefore, will probably explain it! his place in Parliament the cui bono for Ireland, and the latter also furnish his Shropshire friends with an expose of the local advantages likely to arise to a county to which he is so materially indebted. But till these explanations are satis- factorily made, it behoves not merely the Members of Parliament connected with this county, but also those of the country at large, to weigh well, whether at any time, and especially in times like the present, it is advisable to accede^ o a large grant of public money for such an unnecessary, such an uncalled- for project— bearing in mind too, especially, the increased facilities of conveyance now afforded by Liverpool and Bristol. It behoves also the inhabitants and persons connected with the Shrewsbury line of road, to use their utmost exertions to aid their Representa- tives, in counteracting a scheme Which may benefit a few, but which will prove injurious to many; and which, after all, Were It even carried into effect, would be of little or no use to Ireland. It is said, I understand, that half an hour at least will ultimately be gained in the arrival of the Mail in Dublin, or rather, that the passengers by it will be enabled to breakfast in Ireland's metropolis at nine, instead of half- past nine, as at present; and, for these pressing considerations, the public must be burdened at the enormons expense at least of the sum already stated. But allowing the mighty advantages of the projected new line of road to lie realised, will it make, let me ask, any more expeditious alteration as ^ o the& pAof interchanging letters between London and Dublin ? Will it, in short, gain another post? I am told not the slightest alteration in these respects will be accomplished. But this and other points connected with this subject are too numerous for a single letter. My chief object, at present, is to call the public attention to the scheme and notice now officially announced. The inhabitants of Shrewsbury, and the adjacent districts more particularly interested, will, 1 hope, take up the question with spirited exertion, and not tamely submit to see the present line of road abandoned. And if they succeed, which they will if they make a strong pull all together, then I hope they will make up for a little tardiness hitherto, by improving the oft complained of approaches through Frankwell, & c. not merely by rounding corners, but cutting oft' unnecessary angles; and thus not only satisfy Sir H. Parnell's fancies, and Mr. Telford's schemes, but, what is of far more importance, please every passing traveller, and the public in general. I beg to remain, Sir, A FRIEND TO, nut NOT AN INHABITANT OF, SHREWSBURY. November 2d. BALLOON DESCENT EXTRAORDINARY, MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.— On Thursday, the 22d ult. at Talacre, Charles Stanley, Esq. brother to Sir Thomas Stanley, Bart, of Huuton, Cheshire, was united to Barbara, eldest daughter of Sir Edward Mostyh, Bart, of Talacre. In the first instance, the marriage was solemnized, according to the rites of the church of Rome, in the household chapel, by the Rev. J. Harrison, Sir Edward's domestic chaplain, aud afterwards by special licence, in the drawing- room, by the Rev. H. Parry, vicar of Llatiasa. When the Ceremony was over, one- and- twenty great guns were fired in front of the mansion. There were present at the ceremony, Sir Edward and Lady Mostyn, Sir Thomas and Lady Stanley, Miss Stanley, Miss Blundell; Mr. Errington, Mr. Slaughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Morgan of Golden Grove.— At noon the happy pair set out in their travelling chariot for the metropolis, from whence they are to go to the continent.— Sir Edward's neighbours and tenants could not let so happy an event pass without manifesting their joy ; accordingly a liberal sum was subsctibed to promote harmless rural amusements, and to supply the populace with cwrit> da. In the evening a numerous party from the neighbourhood, met at the Golden Lion Inn, Llanasa, to drink to the happiness of the new married couple; and iu the early part of the night the whole parish blazed with bonfires, illuminations, and fireworks. Radnorshire County Hall has been completed in a manner highly creditable to the Contractors, Messrs. Haycock, of Shrewsbury. A Committee of tl* County Magistrates, appointed to inspect and report upon the completion of the building of the County Hall, and Judges' Lodgings, state " that the execution of both the contracts reflects very great credit on the skill and ability of Messrs. Haycock, as architects, and on their integrity as individuals," and the report has been fully approved and confirmed by the Magis- trates of the county.— Hereford Journal. The Annual Meeting of the Flintshire Agricultural Society took place on Wednesday last.— Sir S. R, Glynne, Bart, was appointed President, and Mr. Jones, of Pwllmelyn, Vice President, for the next year. DREADFUI. ACCIDENT AT THE BRYNCOFO COLLIERY.— It is with much regret we announce that on Thursday last, the inhabitants in the neigh- bourhood of Mold, were much alarmed by an awful noise and shaking of the earth, which was im- mediately ascertained to be caused by an explosion of fire damp in the above colliery. Our correspond- ent immediately repaired to the scene of this un- fortunate event, where he found a great number of women collected together, bitterly weeping. They were the wives of some of the workmen. Two persons of the names of John Wynne and Evan Parry were killed instantly, and when their bodies were found it was with difficulty they were identified, so horribly were they mangled aud mutilated. Five other unfortunate fellows are so terribly bruised and injured, that not the slightest hopes of their recovery are entertained.— Chester Courant. CARDIGAN. - At the Quarter Sessions for the county of Cardigan, the following gentlemen qualified as magistrates for that county.— Colonel Wemyss, of Aberystwith ; John Hughes, Esq. of Danyralltlwyd ; and John Davies, Esq. of Blaendyffryn. At these sessions Elizabeth Morris, aged 51, was tried on a charge of receiving £ 771, knowing it to be stolen, and found guilty. The prisoner's son had been entrusted with a small parcel containing the money, to convey it to the bank of Waters, Jones, and Co. of Carmarthen ; and pretended to have been roblied of it on the road. The truth of his story being questioned, he absconded, and the money was subsequently traced ami found in the possession of the prisoner. She was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and hard labour.

On Sunday morning, the 25th ult. at break of day, a balloon, of the size used by aeronauts, was found entangled in a tree, at Howie Farm, near Newport, iu this county, by a servant of Mr. Molintford. The car contained nothing but a paper with the following lines written upon it: — " Twenty fourth of October, one hour after noon, 1 was sent from the earth on my way to themnon; But my strength growing less, I am forced to descend, Ami f trust I am got to the house of a friend. I came from Great Boulton, unmarked by a scar, And the person who made me is called Samuel Parr ; Pray inform him by post, when first seen by you, For I started exactly oae quarter past two."

WELSH JUDICATURE. LONDON HOUSE. HIGH STREET, SHREWSBURY. A meeting of the County of Cardigan is appointed to be held, on this subject, on the 18th instant.— See Advert. At. a County Meeting, held at the Shire Hall, Carmarthen, on the 23d ult. a Petition, of which the following is a copy, was adopted by a very large majority ( there being only 17 dissentients). The Petition was moved by W. R. H. Powell, Esq. and seconded by Colonel Gwynne, of Glanbrane Park :— " That your Petitioners have read with surprise and alarm the Report of ' His Majesty's Commission ers appointed to enquire into the Practice and Pro- ceedings of the Superior Courts of Law,' relative to the Jurisdiction so long established within the Princi- pality of Wales, and the changes in the same recom- mended by the said Commissioners. " That your Petitioners, fully sensible of many advantages arising from the peculiar Jurisdiction of Wales, and the few inconveniences resulting there- from, humbly pray that the same may not be abo- lished, as such abolition cannot be carried into effect without great inconvenience arising from the consoli- dation and partition of Counties. Such abolition will also create a great increase of expense in law proceedings, a delay of justice, and, at all events, the substitution of an untried system in the Principality, in lien of one well known, beneficial, and adapted to the wants and wishes of the people at large. " That such change is not called for by the people in general, hnd particularly by such classes as are more immediately interested in a cheap and expedi- tious administration of justice, namely, the Traders, Shopkeepers, Farmers, Drovers, and Graziers. " Your Petitioners conclude with reminding your Lordships that in no part of his Majesty's dominions has there been, or is there at present, more peace, tranquillity, and prosperity existing than in the Principality, which has gradually attained to iu creased, and still looks to increasing happiness under the present system of Jurisdiction ; and which system, if modified and improved, instead of being abolished, may probably arrive at as much perfection as is attainable by most human institutions." COUNTY OF RADNOR.— The proposed changes in the Welsh Jurisdiction were taken into consideration on the 24th ult. at the County Hall, at Presteigu, by a numerous meeting of Magistrates and Freeholders of the county of Radnor, who resolved on presenting the following memorial to the Secretary of State for tlie Home Department: — 14 The undersigned Magistrates and Freeholders of the county of Radnor, having had under consideration that part of the Report of the Commissioners ap- pointed to inquire into the Courts of Common Law, in which it is recommended that the county of Rad- nor should hereafter be placed within the jurisiliction of the Judges appointed to hold Assizes at Hereford, are desirous of expressing their deliberate opinion, that any change in the administration of justice which would deprive the county of IJadnor of an Assize held half- yearly, as heretofore, at the town of Presteign, would be highly injurious to the welfare of that county. And your Memorialists would prefer the continuance of the Great Sessions in their present form, to the adoption of any change which would take from them what they have so long enjoyed— an Assize held within the county. " That the Welsh Jurisdiction, as it has been ad- ministered since the Act of Henry gth, possesses some advantages which your Memorialists are desirous of preserving— amongst these are the action called Con- cessit Solvere, and the facility of obtaining an imme- diate judgment and execution against the effects of a defendant. And your Memorialists earnestly desire that if any improved system of administering justice should be thought worthy of adoption generally throughout Great Britain, that nothing should be done to deprive them of the advantages of these forms of proceeding."

VV E, the undersigned, being Freeholders V T und Inhabitants of the County of Cardigan, do hereby request yon will, at vour earliest Convenience, convene a GENERAL MEETING uf the Freeholder, and Inhabitant* of the County, to take into Consider- ation the pruposed Removal of the Assizes from Carili. gau, and the Alteration of the WELSH J11D1CA.

No fortified point upon the left bank of . the Danube is to be retained fry the Ttfrfoi, the regiM The great improvements which have of late years lation against the residence of Turkish subjects in the' been effected in machinery, and our more recent P. ineipatities is enforced, and the Turkish cities on exist, it can be no matter of surprise that our streets are filled with the most miserable objects, and that the columns of the public papers are little more than tilt registers of accidental death.— VVe would, there- fore, offer to the consideration of the civil authorities the necessity of suppressing— or, at least, very materi- ally diminishifig the number of, these iniquitous retreats. They are the bane and curse of every neighbourhood, and in no neighbourhood has their fatal tendency lieeai more sensibly , experienced than in Manchester.

For BOWDLER, Shrewsbury. knoivledge of the powers of steam, have tended very considerably to increase the commercial spirit of this country. Indeed so highly do some men appreciate the advantages of commerce that, iff th'efr opiiiioH, it is the only foundation oii which our national prosperity can be established. It is far from our intention to deny the existence of those advantages, or to oppose — even if w e were able— any obstruction to the means by yvhich ive may become more aflluent and great. Hut we cannot but observe a more than ordinary degree of shortsightedness in attributing to commerce so singular an importance. It has been well observed that commerce is a daughter of fortune, as incon- stant and deceitf ul as her mother— and precarious must the stability of that State be which depends solely upon her, amid the fluctuations to which man- kind is subject.— To suppose that we can traffic uni- versally is to suppose that we can be universally at peace— which experience will inform us is a most delusive supposition. The success of our commerce is naturally and necessarily dependant, not on our own inclinations, but the inclinations of others: and, perhaps, no order of men is really less independent than our merchants. The very " rumours of wars" are sufficient to excite the fears and to check the enterprise of the stoutest heart on the Exchange. In short, the intercourse of nations is so frequently — and in some instances— so unaccountably interrupted, that nothing can be more dangerous than to depend entirely upon commerce as the nfeairff of Securing to any country the continuance of th£ blessings it may enjoj'— common to others — or peculiar to ffseld To these observations we have been led by an increasing indifference to the interests of agriculture, which is sufficiently visible throughout a great por- tion of our commercial districts. The truth is, that agriculture is in itself of infinitely more importance than commerce : for while the latter is regulated by external circumstances, the former is under no similar controul. Supposing that we were at war with the whole world, ( no improbable case,) we could still procure from our own soil all the necessaries of life. The agriculturist would furnish us with bread. We could build fleets and yve could man them. We could raise armies, and defend our shores. Nature is more liberal than att, and by tile pursuits of agri- culture we can at least secure our independence, if wc cannot amass wealth. VVe do not now consider the question as it relates to morals,— though it is not unworthy the attention of those whose views are not blinded bv considerations of individual interest,— that the domestic virtues are chiefly resident among the agriculturists. It is simply our wish lo impress upon the public that commerce is not every thing— that it is itself a crea- ture, and must decline with the causes that produce it. We do not urge these sentiments as original. They are of long standing, and have been often repeated, but, perhaps, never was it tnore necessary that they should be bonteifi mind than in the present day. We admire'the invention which characterises our times. We hail the improvements which we witness in every department of mechanic science — but we confess we cannot prostrate ourselves before the idol of commerce, and refer to the golden image all the blessings which we are conscious we derive from another and a more genuine source.

Large and respectable fields have been pre- sent at each fixture, foxes are in plenty, and the hounds have given the best proof of their excellent condition and discipline, by killing their fox six out of the eight days they have been at work. This brilliant sport had nearly, however, met with a disastrous " check" on Tuesday last. The fixture was Crow's Nest, where a game fox, after a very short parley, broke cover, and leading his pursuers at a trying pace to the valley below, took the Temej near li road was Church. The gallant master of the hounds, Mr. Parker, as usual, in his place, was first on the banks of the river, which was somewhat swollen, and the current also running with great rapidity. The " running" on the opposite side, how- ever, w& s all this keen sportsman regarded. Without hesitation, he dashed into the flood, and had nearly made good his passage, when the horse suddenly sank into upwards of ten feet of water. The animal noiv began to plunge desperately, and unseated its rider, whose foot, in falling, became entangled in the stirrup! Perhaps a situation of more peril can scarcely be conceived. Master as well as horse, were, we are tfild, several times out of siglvtr; but Mr. Parker luckily managed to maintain his hold of the bridle, and at length extricated his foot, then giving the animal his bead, both contrived oitc'e more to reach terra ftrma. Although thoroughly soaked, as may be imagined, our intrepid Nimrod, first only ( in the language of the wash- tub) " wrenching out" his dripping coat, resumed his saddle, and was shortly with his hounds. Unfortunately for him, however, in his chilled predicament, an hour and a half's cold hunting followed, and which ended in the fox taking to earth at Rock Hill. Several of the field, we learn, also crossed the river, with better luck than their leader, who, however, we are glad lo say, barring the ducking, experienced no ill consequences from the mishap. At the termination of the present fixtures, the hounds will take to the Grafton and Churchill country. Upwards of 1200 Scotch and Irish vagrants, passed through this county to law- ton Gate alone, during the last quarter, besides a number of others which crossed the county in a different direction; and it is supposed that the expense to the county would fall very little short of £ 600^- Staffatdshire. Ad- ve> tiser. the left bank of the Danube are to be restored to Wallachia, and ttf be incorporated with tlrat princU palily. The Porte relinquishes all i< s former claims for contributions or forced scrvice, in consideration of a pecuniary indemnity to be hereafter determined, arid of a sum < rfi the death or resignation of a Hospo- dar equal to the yearly tribute of t^ ic province. The inhabitants are to enjoy un'imifed freedom of trade, and in consequence of the burdens borne hitherto bv the principalities fof fife nve of the Porte; they are ill be exempted from payment of tlli'if yearly tribute for1 the space of, two years, to be reckoned from the day of ( he fold! evacuation of the principalities by the Russian troops. One of the chief objects assigned by Russia for the invasion of Turkey has thus been effectually secured. All the information which has lyeeii received front the East of Europe since the conclusion of the treaty between the Russians and Turks, is favourable to the hopes conceived of its effccts, and of the good faith of the contracting parties. The reports of insurrection ary movements of the Pachas in the rear and on the flank of the Russians have van shed; aud the Sultan, it appears, is preparing with all speed to carry into effect Ihe articles of the treaty which relate io ibe privileges of the Servians and to Ibe independence ut' Greece. The facts, too, which have become known since the conclusion of the treaty ai'e also favourable to the character" of the Emperor of Russia, It i9 n. iW ascertained thaf. the conclusion of the treaty was in a great measitre to be ascribed to the exertions of ( he Prussian Envoy Extraordinary, General Muffling) and it likewise appears that the mission of that General was the consequence of communications be- tween the Emperor Nicholas and his father- in- law, ( lie King of Prussia. The mission of the Prussian General was therefore a step taken with the t'mtcur-. rence of the Russian monarch, for' the purpose of removing any difficulties in the way of the peace which arose out of Ihe misconceptions of his motives on the part of tile Saltan. The Emperor of Russia has since bestowed marks of fatoar on the Prussian Negotiator.

CAUTION TO LANDLORDS, & c.— A scoundrel in decent apparel took up his abode at the George Inn, Ross, on Saturday Week, and after regaling himself with the best the house afforded Until Monday, hired from thence U gig and horse, to go lo Mitchcldean, with the intention, as he stated, of returning the same day. But the owner of the gig not witnessing his re- ap'pearrtnee on the evening of Monday, and having his suspicions alive from the numerous adventurers who now infest the country, look a gentle ride to Mifcheldean in quest of his customer, and on his arrival at head- quarters, found not the man, or the horse, but Ihe gig, left as a idedge for his return from Monmouth, to which place he rode, on the gig- horse, with a burrowed saddle, and there, having, we suppose, some Compassion on his steed, he gave him a rest whilst lie pursued his route to Newport, with a fresh horse and gig, procured from Mr, Price, Monnow- street, with whom he left the Ross horse. The rasCal had the adroitness to swindle the ostler at the Crown and Thistle, Monmouth, out of 8s. Od. which he borrowed of hiin, on the pretcnce, just as he was starting, that the landlady, w- hom lie had requested to change a sovereign could not do so, ami he should be obliged to John if he could lend him a few shillings till his return. Upon this plea he obtained the 8s. 6,1. and a new great coat into the bargain, and has not, although diligent inquiries have been made, since been heard of.

The following picture of ilie ample resources of the sister kingdom is extracted from an article in the Monthly Mu amine on the Prntestant Colonization of Ireland, a subject which is ably treated, though the writer has perhaps given a more brilliant colouring to the prtispetts of the country than fads will justify, it is well, however, to keep in view the capabilities of Ireland, if properly directed ; and though there may be some inaccuracies and exaggeration in the sketch, it is, wc believe, on the Whole, a faithful representa- tion. Something must be speedily done for Ireland; and it is not to be done by the feeble, of the factious, or the hypocritical quackeries that have till now been suffered to tamper with a country most liberally en- dowed by nature, and impoverished only by the absurdities of her superstitions and the guilt of her jmpnlar disturbers. No country upon earth has exhibited so stern an evidence of Hie fatal frjrre? of man to counteract the bo. v. ities of heaven. The soil of Ireland has been proved by the clearest experi- ments to be, acre for acre, superior to that of Eng- land ; jet five millions of acres in Ireland are at this day as fifidisturbed by plough or spade as if they lay- under the pole. l- fer seas abound with fish, and some of the finest fishing banks in the world are within sight of her shores; yet the Irish peasant on the first failure of his pntatoe, dies of hanger. The summers are the most temperate in Europe, the winters the mildest— cattle can remain unhoused from January fo December— yet there arc more famines in it than in Siberia. The people are naturally hardy, easily sub- sisted, and singularly vigorous, laborious, and in- telligent, when vvc consider their opportunities; yet one- fourth of them are paupers, and another fourth banditti, and almost all restless, insubordinate, and embittered against law and government. The face of Ireland is singularly picturesque,, yet eminently adapted for all purposes of commerce and communi • ration, by Ms general level. No point i f the land is a thousand feet above the plain ; and no land in Europe abounds so much in chains of lakes, in rivers flowing in different directions, and in a perpetual supply of water. Ireland might be made a country of water communication through its whole length and breadth; yet it has but two canals, and those two in the most embarrassed condition. Ireland has more harbours for ships of the largest size thau the whole of Europe ; tlie single western coast containing for two hundred miles but a succession of the most magnificent hirbours. It is the nearest coast to the whole western world, to Portugal and Spain, to the Mediterranean, to the whole navigation of the im- mense regions south of the Straits of Gibraltar. The west coast of Ireland is the first made by every sail from India, Africa, and the Americas. It has been ascertained that before a vessel from the port of London gets out of soundings, a vessel from the west of Ireland may reach America. Inland seems, by its position, by its western harbours, and by the facility of communication over every part of its surface, to have been actually intended as the great centre of intercourse between the oftf world and the new. It is large, containing 36,000 square miles ; of all this space the indentings by harbours and arms of the sea are so numerous, that it is distinctly stated that there is not an acre above fifty miles from the tea. But its eminent superiority as a centre ol intercourse between Europe and the western world, is shown by the fact, that as if by the manifest in- tention of Providence to point out its purposes, the narrowest portion of Ireland is exactly the line between the middle of its eastern coast and its w estern. From Dublin to Galway is but a hundred miles The merchant breakfasts on the shores of the Irish Channel, and sups on the shores of the Atlantic ! — yet Ireland has no manufactures, no trade, no intercourse with foreign wealth ; for it would only be a burlesque to call by the name of trade its exporta- tion of bullocks and * potatoes to the single port of Liverpool. The only active trade of Ireland is in paupers and Members of Parliament, But the power which the due cultivation of the means of Ireland might give to the resources of England is all but incalculable. It was lately ascertained that the steam- boat from the west coast might make the American coast in ten days; and, by a canal across Ireland, manufactures embarked at Liverpool might be delivered in America on an average of a fortnight's passage ; thus obviating the accidents of the voyage down Channel, the contrary winds, and almost render- ing the transmission a matter of as much accuracy and safety as the transmission of a letter by the mail- coach. Yet Inland has remained to this hour the poorest and least cultured country in the civilized world. Abounding in mines of every metal and mineral, the people are beggars; abounding in coal, they perish for want of fuel ; abounding in lime- stone, which the agriculturist knows to be but another name for the material of the richest fertility, the peasant starves in the midst of his fields, and might well envy the happier sheep and bullock that they feed. To what is this monstrous abuse of the bounties of Providence owing ? The man who has ever travelled through the " States of the Pope" cannot be at a loss for the answer. The gross superstition wluch has at once enfeebled and embittered the peasant mind, has made Ireland for ages a burthen on the English legislature. " With this conviction irresistibly impressed on our minds, we rejoice at the announcement of an intention on'the part of the true friends of the country to meet its evil fully, by forming Protestant Colonies on the waste lands of Ireland." THE CURRENCY. [ From the Bristol Journal of Oct. 24] One of the arguments made use of by the advo- cates of Mr. Peel's Bill was, that if such a measure were not passed, we might as well declare our- selves in a state of National Bankruptcy at once'. A reason equally as cogent, and in its operation about as true, was that urged for the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill by Mr: Peel, viz. that if the measure was uot then carried, Ireland must be kept tranquil by military law. Both measures, it was predicted, would immediately be beneficial in their results: every poor man, by the operation of the Currency Bill, was to have a sovereign in his I pocket; and when the R- lief Bill became a law, it was asserted it would bo no longer necessary to incur the expense of keeping an army in Ireland. Perhaps no two legislative measures have ever so completely failed in their effects. The farmers of England are fast approaching to the verge of ruiu by the effects of the Currency Bill; and the Pro- testants of Ireland are as gradually succumbing to the tyranny of Popery by the effect of the oilier. But it is to the misery under which the country is now labouring from the Currency Bill, that we would particularly advert; from the effects of this rash and delusive experiment, there appears to be no respite— no relief— no alternative of ease given to the suffering manufacturer, tradesman, or farmer; but, on the contrary, it seems to be the nature of this fatal measure to increase its pressure in the proportion of its continuance. The following astounding facts must bring conviction to the most sceptical. Peruse them, gentle reader, and then say, whether the rulers of your country can much longer delay to find some remedy for such distress lis this. Both Mr. Peel's Bill and the Corn Laws must again Undergo revision. Nor, in the modern school of legislation, and according to the sense of words in the now vocabulary, need a Statesman of our day feel ashamed of inconsistency or imbecility; or shrink from the opprobrium which once attached to the senator who was compelled to eat his own words, and acknowledge that all his favourite dog- mas and speculations had terminated In ef rof and delusion. We find the following occurrences de- tailed in the Banker's Circular of the 16th instant: " During the last ten days we have traversed a part of the country where there are fewer of the outward and visible symbols of distress than in many other parts of England; viz. from Poole, in Dorsetshire, passing in a zig- zag direction along or near to the coast of Lewes. In this route are con- tained a great number of towns inhabited princi- pally by persons of fixed incomes, and those who live upon the expenditure of the rich. The differ- ent aspect which those places bear, where the people subsist by raising or manufacturing produc- tions, is very striking and remarkable; it is quite melancholy to pass through such places as Trow- bridge or Westbury, and survey the condition of the artisans and labouring poor. In these a feeling of distress and an apprehension of approaching misery pervade all ranks. But in the gay towns near the coast many of the inhabitants participate in the feelings, and adopt the opinions, which generally prevail in rich and luxurious cities " " We think, that the sudden and great decline in the prices of agricultural productions,- which has been proceeding with accelerated force during the last two mouths, is creating a stronger feeling of alarm in the minds of farmers, graziers, and their landlords, just at this juncture, than at any former period. The difficulty in providing the means of discharging the rents and taxes payable this quar- ter, and the impossibility of selling the products of fhe soil just at this particular time, which they had reckoned upon, are calculated to fill their minds with the most distressing apprehensions for the future." " The well- being and prosperity of those who depend npon the cultivation of the land, ought to command the principal regard of all reflecting men. The agricultural interest is the most essential and the most important. And we assert our entire and unqualified belief, that that interest was never in such jeopardy as it is now." The writer then compares the causes of the low prices of 1822 with the present period, and pro- ceeds thus:—• " Formerly any farmer, by abating five or seven percent fiom the price that his neighbour sold at, could at all times force a sale, and provide himself promptly with cash for pressing emergencies With marketable stock in store, he was hi no danger of berug seized for defalcations in his pay. meuts. Now, the ease is altogether changed; a man may expose his commodities in a public market for days in succession, without being desired to fix a price; scores of persons passing by who could apply the things to the most beneficial uses." " Cheese is a very important article of domesti production; it is produced by a combination of foresight, skill, labour, perseverance, and science. It is a perishable commodity; and therefore the producers have fixed seasons ? tod stated periods for selling it. A man with a treasure of this sort could heretofore, at all times, depend upon having its value iu money handed over to him in exchange for it, to meet his engagements. Long habit bad given him reason to reckon on this with as much certainty, as a man coming out of a mine loaded with silver ore, could reckon upon changing that ore for the coined metal. Nothing afforded so certain a dependance for the receipt of money as the possession of this commodity." " That this is no overstrained description is a point which admits of no doubt or cavil. The dairymen of the Western counties, ill some cases, convey their cheese sixty or seventy miles by land carriage to a great annual fair, one of the ancient marts of the kingdom. Having deposited the pre- cious produce of twelve mouths' care and anxiety in some convenient place for sale, the waggoners and horses are not kept at the fair at extravagant charges, for any such consideration as that they may possibly be wanted to convey the cheese home again. No such thing has been known in the man's experience. Long usage told him that the com- modity was always vendible, at some price; and he always previously resolved to accept the current price of the fair. Now let us look at the effect of the inconsiderate currency regulations upon this man's affairs." " Two farmers, living in the neighbourhood of Melksham, took their cheese to Heading fair, sixty miles distant. Being determined to sell at the current price, either the first, the second, or the third day of the fair, they immediately sent back their waggons, horses, and servants. The stquel, however, baffled their calculations; and although they were willing to abate 25 per cent, from the prices of last year,- they coald not force a sale; and they were ultimately constrained to send for their waggons to carry the cheese home again. These industrious men actually compelled their teams aiid servants to travel 240 miles, in a fruitless attempt to find a market for this perishable and costly com- modity." " The dogmatical Bullionists and Economists are food of facts, and they have an especial regard f il- th em, when the facts suit their theories; and when uot, although most important to the consideration, they as easily reject them. Let them then reflect upon the above striking fact. Fourteen shillings per cwt. was a few years ago not an extravagant price to pay for conveying goods 240 miles by land carriage: yet in this case, that would be full 30 per cent upon the value of the commodity." " If Mr. lluskissou, in using the expression ' that we were within eight and fol ly hours of a state of barter,' intended to convey an idea of a slate of things which could uot be tolerated in a civilized community, it is time for him to be again in action Facts without number, applicable to both cases, viz. that in the winter of 1826, and that in the autumn of 1- 829, arc in our possession, carrying a conviction, that we arc infinitely nearer a state of barter now than we were then. We have not our- selves been at more than two of the great annual fairs ; but we have made diligent enquiries of the persons who have attended them ; ami we believe, that without any exception as to the rule, as regardsthe Southern part of England, the prices at each succeeding fair have regularly declined as the I year has advanced. A man iu the neighbourhood of Lewes, was offered at the Lewes September fair 3ls. each for several hundred ewes, which he refused to take; he sold those identical sheep, when ill quite as good condition, at last Bourne fair, on the 12th October, for 24s. We have con- versed with several persons who attended Weyhill fair, which also began on O'd Michaelmas- day, and they say, that iu regard to many things offered for sale, there was an unprecedented stagnation; that a very great proportion of the sheep were driven home, without any man having asked the prices of them. It is believed by well informed persons, that within 50 or 60 miles west and south of Wey- hill, upwards of 50,000 sheep perished last year from the disease called the ' Rot;' yet, after such a calamity as that, the fanners we see have no power to fill up their stocks; and the breeding stock farmers are obliged to drive home healthy, thriving, and profitable sheep, without being able to find a customer." " THIS SKKTCH INDICATES THE PRESENT STATE OF THE FARMERS OF ENGLAND. We know that they cannot long remain in a better state iu Scot- land or Ireland than they are iu iu England. And while our Currency regulations remain in force, whatever amount of rent and taxes they have to pay, there is no possibility of their obtain ng any other than low prices for their pro luctious." " Although the gay and vivacious appearance of the luxurious places, such us Southampton and Brighton, affording pleasure and prosperity to those who derive income from the distribution of the wealthy capitalists and annuitants expended there, is matter of just gratulation to them, the mind is irresistibly drawn to reflect upon the condition of the producers of the country's wealth in 111 • cir cumjacent agricultural districts; and that condition is, we assert, worse now thau it was iu 1822, when he Minister became alarmed at the existing and impending mischief." It is scarcely possible to look throngh the columns of a Provincial Paper of any character, without encountering some fresh instance of distress under which the Agricultural body is suffering, ^ he following, from the Devizes Gazette of Thursday last, is the latest we have seen, and Came under our notice after the above remarks were in'ty pe. It is of such an appalling character, that it is neither necessary to add another fact to the gloomy list, nor to say a word more by way of comment " About the usual quantity of Sheep were penned at Devizes Green Fair on Tuesday last, but ( he prices were several shillings under those obtained at Weyhill; and a very large portion were driven away without a bidder. The present situation of the farmer appears more deplorable than at any previous period since the termination of tile war, even taking into consideration the dreadful year of 1822. About six weeks since a pen of 20 wethers were purchased at an auction near Marl'iorough for £' 32. Those wethers were exhibited at this fair, when the farmer who disposed of them by auction, re- purchased them for £ 22! being £ 10 less than he sold them for but six weeks previously. Within that period, the flock of a very respectable farmer in this neighbourhood has been depreciated iu value at least £ 500 ; that is, the flock ( which consists of about 1000) would not fetch so much by £ 500 as it might have obtained at the late Wilton fair, which took place about the above time. Cows and calves, oxen— indeed all descriptions of farm stock, are alike depreciated in price. EAST INDIES. Extract of a letter, dated Neilgherry Hills, 25th March, 1829 :— " Here We are fixed for at least three months I hope, on these delightful bills— delightful at least by comparison in many respects, and ill a few, positively so. 1 wrote you twice on our road hither, but 1 cannot exactly recollect when. Con- sidering the late establishment of this little settle- ment, or station, we are all comfortably housed for so large a party. We are about 8000 feet above ihe sea; no great height compared with a few others, but still sufficient to give us a climate quite European, and with some superiorities even. When we first came up there was a sharp frost every night, and ice nearly an inch thick sometimes in Ihe vallies; the morning air was consequently a little sharp, but Ihe greater part of the day fine warm spring weather; some fine showers have fallen ; the frost is gone, and we have now April weather of England without any of its easterly winds. This is a new establishment commenced a few years since. Invalids from all parts of India coupe hither iu search of health, instead of going to the numerous " elsevvheres," whither they formerly went, and almost without exception derive great benefit. More would come, but houses are not to be got, though they are building many; what it may be some years hence it is difficult to say; many difficulties existed in getting the'requisite comforts, and indeed necessaries of life, for the natives below have a great dislike to come up They certainly sutler much from so great a change. Matters iu this respect are improving daily. The thermometer in my bed- room has been for the last ten days nearly as follows, at least on the average: about i in Ihe morning, 61 ; at 2 in the afternoon, 66 ; at 10 at night, 64 ; and this without more than a degree of variation any one day from another. This extraordinary equability of temperature, and the pureuess of Ihe air, are no doubt the causes of its being so favourable to the human frame. The country is so hilly that we cannot take exercise with the same pleasure that we should in a more level country ; still we are out every day, and getting a little accustomed to it; all Ihe hills nearly are wavy, so that every one is accessible on foot, and nearly all on horseback, though with some little effort: in the vallies almost without exception wood and water is found; many of Ihe woods beautiful and picturesque. When we came the hills Were quite brown from the frost and dry weather, now all is of the most beautiful verdure. All the European vegetables seem to thrive very well, and even winter has not prevented our having plenty, including peas, beaus, and artichokes; some fruit trees thrive well; but no fruit has yet been produced of any value ; and it is thought there will be great difficulty in bringing it to perfection, as the heat seldom arrives at English summer heat. The early fruits I have no doubt will succeed ; the summer and autumn ones may require assistance. The strawberries of two sorts are all over the hills, and I am told very fine. Raspberries and black- berries, at least the bushes, 1 have found very troublesomely numerous and strong in scrambling through the woods. There are also two fruits unknown in Europe, both called gooseberries here, and having some resemblance - f these are as coinmoii in many places as the wortleberries in some parts of England. The white dog rose is found every where, and I am told other sorts are common, but 1 have not yet seen them. The last time I was out, to my great delight, I tumbled on a bed of violets, the pale sort, having no smell; slill I was much pleased, and brought home a few; they were sufficient to make me think of other times and places : perhaps the odourotis are here also. Many flowering shrubs and heaths are found here, most of them new to me, but not very beautiful ; perhaps the advancing summer may disclose others. One plant, or tree rather, catches the attention most particularly, the Rhododrendon, covered with its large brilliant red flowers; they are about the size of our apple trees in England, and very like them in their irregular way of growing, but the tree in full flower is most brilliant: they only come to per- fection, I think, at certain elevations. 1 recollect them well at Adam's Peak, in Ceylon. The black- bird is just uow beginning to make its fine thrilling note be heard, and " larks high poised in air," are heard all day long. I have listeued at times for a note that I fancied the cuckoo ; but, ' twas fancy— there are none here, I believe. Altogether this place has many charms and advantages to those corning from Ihe burning deserts below— an affair of half a day's journey only in some directions. We are uot only free from the wearying evils of an Indian climate, but 1 am much inclined to think we are iu one superior to any thing in Europe for salubrity. These hills, although in sight of European stations for so many years, were only explored ( one may say almost discovered) eight or nine years since. When the time comes for our going down we shall feel the difference much 1 fear, but we shall have escaped the three very hot mouths at least, and that is no light advantage. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENTS- A very extra- ordinary'accident occurred at the Woolpack Inh, in Warwick, on Saturday afternoon, to a mare the property of Mr. Warnt'r, of Haselor, near Alcesteri The hostler received Ihe mare about three o'clock, and put her into the first stall of the stable by the side of a pony, pulled off her bridle, and went to another part of the stable for a halter to tie her up; when he returned to the mare's head, he thought, by her manner, She was going to lie down, and he immediately removed the pony out of the stall; in doing this he perceived that the bind legs oftheinare had broken through the ground, and that she was gradually sinking. He immediately called out, when a man came to his assistance, and they put a rope round one of her fore legs, and eudeavoured to extricate her, but while doing this the animal struggled violently; the surrounding earth gave way, and, to their great astonishment, she sunk into a cavern so deep that they could neither see nor hear any thing of her. The alarm caused by such a singular circumstance soon spread, and brought a number of people to the spot; a candle and lantern were tied to the end of a rope and let down, when it was found that the mare had fallen into an old well, one and twenty feet from the surface. Pullies were sent for, by which means a man descended, and by fixing a rope round her chest, and another to her head, she was drawn out. The mare was very much injured in one shoulder, the top of the withers, aiid her head and eyes were much bruised. The well when in use had no doubt been much deeper, but some persons who have known the premises for fifty years did not know any thing about it Michael Fitzpatrick, of Manchester, a bankrupt, was, on Friday, the 16th inst. committed to Lan- caster Castle, by the commissioners, for not giving a satisfactory account to them of the disposal of his household furniture, and Stock in trade, on the eve of his bankruptcy. Several persons have already been taken into custody for selling unstamped almanacks " for the ensuing year," and committed fur various short periods. Two men named Bates and Wilson have been apprehended for the same offence at Ashton, and committed for a month each. CULTURE OF THE HYACINTH [ By Thomas Fleetwood, Gardener, of Doddington. Head at the Meeting of the Vale of Evesham Horticultural Society, September 241— To improve the culture of hyacinths, and preserve the bulbs in good health, and to enable them to produce the finest blossoms, plant them in the following manner :— Take off the surface of the earth from the bed where they are to be planted, 12 inches deep; after loosening the soil for the next 6 or 7 inches, by digging and making it level, add 4 inches of good well- rotted dung all over the bed ; this done, take light, rich, vegetable soil, that has been sifted and kept dry for three weeks previous to the time of planting; cover the dung with the soil so prepared 2 inches thick ; then place the bulbs on the dry soil 10 inches asunder each way, and cover them one inch overhead with the above sort of dried soil, raising the beds to a level with the natural earth. On the approach of frost cover the beds with dry litter, to prevent the frost from raising the bulbs out of the earth. When the severity of the frost is gone remove the litter, and clean the bed as necessity may require, until the first bells begin to open ; then support them with a small stick, raising it 10 inches out of the earth, placing between every row a layer of clean cake moss, to prevent their being spotted with dirt by heavy rain. Attend to the same method in planting tliem round circles or ovals, in all cases carefully mixing their varieties. To cover the bulbs with rotten tiling is as injurious as to plant theni in damp soil. In preparing pots for hyacinths, select those about 6 inches in depth and width, and put in theni 2 inches of good rotten dung Then till them w ell within ( the thickness of the bulb) with rich light soil, placing in each pot three bulbs of different varieties; partially cover them with the same sort of soil, leaving a third part of the bulbs visible. Place them in a dry situation, and give them very little water the first five weeks, increasing it with the growth of the roots until they have done flower- ing. Adtl no water after the leaves begin to decay ; cover the pots with litter to preserve them from biusting by the frost, and place them in an open shed till the blossoms begin to open. Take them out of the earth as the leaves begin to decay, carefully cleaning theai ; hut never remove the offsets till the leaves are withered away. When the bulbs are partially dry, take off all the decayed parts separate, and number each variety, placing them in the day where plenty of air can be admitted until the time of planting. I never saw a double hyacinth produce seed ; but by impregnating the blossoms of the single hyacinth with the farina of a double variety I have succeeded in raising a fine double flower. POULTRY STEALING.— At no former period have the depredations among the poultry- yards in this vi- cinity been so prevalent and daring as at this time : indeetl, many farmers have been deterred from breed- ing poultry, by the impossibility of preserving their stock.— No less than seventeen geese were stolen from a farm- house near this city m one night; and there is little or no intermission in these predatory attacks. The encouragement unthinkingly given to the ma- rauders, by persons purchasing their plunder, when it is boldly hawked about from door to door in open day, at so cheap a rate as naturally to excite suspicion of its being dishonestly obtained, is a great inducement A man named Smith; a renowned smuggler of Bognor, nick- named " the Skipper," from the suc- cess he has had in escaping from many perilous situations to his personal liberty, has beeu at length capiured, and consigned to five years' servitude in Ihe Royal Navy. It is believed that at the time of the capture he knew of nearly 1000 tubs of contra- band spirits sunk off the coast.— County Chronicle. On Monday last, as the gamekeeper of the Earl of Falmouth was looking for a deer, he observed something in the river which attracted his attention, and induced him to take a boat and go off; at the distance of 100 yards he fired at and killed it, when lie found it to be a very fine young seal ( phoca vitnlinaj, about four feet and a half long. His lordship has presented the animal to the Museum of the Royal Institution in this town.— Cornwall Gaz. A new town, containing modern villas, a splendid hotel, and extensive baths, is now building at St. Leonard's, one mile west of Hastings, by J. Burton, Esq. to wham Russell, Tavistock, and Euston- squares, owe their erection. STATE OF CRIME IN CANTERBURY.— It is a cre- ditable fact in this city that, though containing a population of more than thirteen thousand, the gaol has frequently been entirely untenanted, and the doors thrown open; and, on an average, it is said, not more than three persons, at one time, have been incarcerated during the last few years.— Canterbury Paper. THE THRUSH IN HORSES.— Mr. Jamet, of Edin- burgh, has communicated the following cure for the disease in the foot of the horse, termed the thrush, to the Editor of the Gazette of Health. He states it will generally effect a cure in seven days. " Dissolve two drachms of nitrate of silver, with twenty drops of nitric acid, in six ounces of elder flower water, and THE ROBBERY OF TAUNTON NOTES. ON Wednesday, John Allen, who lodged in the house in Ironmonger lane where Mr. Newton was robbed of Taunton bank notes amounting to £ 625, a bank posi bill of £ 67, and three sovereigns, was examined at Guildhall, charged with having committed that robbery.— Thoroughgood, the officer, stated, that,' having received instructions from Mr. Cope, til*' Marshal, to watch the prisoner, he went on Thursday morning early to the neighbourhood, and saw the prisoner come out with a portmanteau, and walk Id the Custom House Stairs, where he embarked on board the Kent steamer for Gravesend : witness followed. The prisoner proceeded to Chatham, to the Sun Tavern, and thence to the Euryalus cionvict ship, after which lie returned to the Sun, and slept. Next morning he returned on the top of the coach to town, and the witness stuck close to him, having learned from the waiter at the Sun, that he had a bundle of country notes about him. The prisoner went to a house in the Kent road, where the witness kept up the watch in the most persevering manner. From that house he came into the city on Wednesday morning, followed by the officer, and was apprehended by him in the George yard. A lar,' e bundle of country notes was found on the prisoner, and on their being produced, Mr. Hobler declared that forgery had been committed as well as robbery, some of the numbers of the notes having been altered, by adding a figure— evidently done to avoid detection. Other notes were found in the prisoner's portmanteau, as well as the £ 67 post bill. The prisoner was re- manded. NEWLY- INVENTKD BRIIJGE.—[ From a Boston Paper.]— Col. Long, of the Board of Engineers, has invented a new kind of bridge, one which has lieen built over the Ohio and Baltimore rail- road, at its then add two drachms of the saturated solution of I intersection with the Washington road. The Haiti- nitrate of copper. After the part has been well " lure Gazette gives the following description of its washed with a brush and dried, a little of this lotion is to be poured into the diseased part every night; after which it should be plugged up whilst moist with a little tow or lint moistened with it. In cases of long standing, attended with a considerable discharge, I add three drachms of myrrh to this lotion." The following lotion he states to be a specific remedy for the disease of the skin of the dog, named the mange : —" Dissolve three drachms of the sulphuret of potass in twelve ounces of water The parts affected should be well washed with this lotion every night aud morning." Last week, an anonymous letter was received by Messrs. Leake and Marsh, extensive silk mercers and linen drapers in Manchester, informing them that a confidential porter was in the constant habit of rob- bing them. An investigation took place, and the porter confessed that he jiad for nine months been in the habit of handing out goods, as he had an oppor- tunity, to some one of a gang of thieves, who always loitered near the warehouse at the times deemed most favourable for depredation. The thieves immediately pledged the goods, and gave the porter a very trifling share in the plunder. A porter in the employment of Mr. Franklin, a jeweller, was also discovered to be connected with the same gang, and in the constant habit of robbing his master in the same way. Both the porters and one of the gang were taken into custody, and committed on their own confession. Search warrants were applied for against the pawn- brokers with whom the goods were said to have been pfedged, but the magistrates refused the same. A long correspondence has taken place between the Bishop of Ferns ( Dr. Elrington) and the Earl of Mountcasliel, on the subject of the proceedings of the " Lay Synod"— as it is called by the Right Rev. Prelate— lately assembled at Cork. The Bishop of Ferns points out the dangers which he apprehends may arise from such an interference in the concerns of the Irish Church, and denies some of the charges brought against a large portion of its members ; and the Noble Earl defends the necessity of the course adopted by the meeting, and maintains the existence of the abuses which it is the object of the petitioners to remove. BONNET BURNT BY THE SUN.— On Sunday last, says the Elgin Courier, a neighbouring congre- gation were thrown into a state of the utmost alarm by the occurrence of a circumstance of a very singular kind. In the middle of the service the leghorn bonnet of a lady— how will the reader credit the fact?— actually took tire by means of the concentrated rays of the sun emitted through what is termed a sky- light. When the bonnet was discovered to be on fire by those who were placed beside the lady, they instantly rushed to it, and, in their anxiety to smother the rising flame, alarmed her so greatly that she naturally screamed aloud. The consequence was that several of those in more distant parts of the church, not knowing the nature of the occurrence, precipitately rose from their seats and made for the door, under the impression that the house was failing MUTTON.— On Saturday morning, there was brought into Holyhead market, a carcass of wether mutton, which weighed, after being dressed, 191lbs.; the head weighed 15lbs.; fat, 23lbs.; the fore- quarter 47lbs.; hind 39' lbs ; thickness on the rib, 5 inches. This wether was reared in Holyhead parish, being only 3 years old. FIRE.— Oil Saturday evening, a barn, filled with wheat and oats, belonging to Mrs. Wheeler, of Torton, Hartlebury, Worcestershire, was discovered to be on fire ; several engines were promptly con veved to the spot; and the calmness of the night, aud the active exertions of the neighbours, happily confined the fire to the barn, which was burnt to the ground ; had the flames extended to the surrounding neks, barns, Si. c. property to a serious amonnt most j have been destroyed. The barn was insured. We to this daring traffic. On Saturday last, three men | ament to add, that circumstances lead to the ftliscellancotie Entclltgcnce. An extraordinary trout was caught on Thursday week, by Mr. James Hards, of the Royal Mills, Dart- ford, in his mill head, weighing 12jibs, and measuring 23 inches in circumference and 30 inches in length. CITY LIMERICK QUARTER SESSIONS.— sharing Extraordinary.— Andrew Lahiff', of the Guild of Barbers, was put to the bar, accompanied by his dearly beloved wife, both charged with a larceny on the person of a poor countryman, named Garrett Lane, who resorted to the shop of this nose- pulling Bagatelle, for the purpose of mowing down a crop of untoward bristles, which time had been long maturing on the fore- ground of this poor man's head. To render the operation more comfortable to his new customer, Lahiff had him introduced into an inner apartment; and Mrs. Lahiff seemed so interested in the transformation her husband was to work on the surface of poor Garrett's face, that she was resolved on taking her part in the melo drama. Down sat poor Garrett, when, after locking knees, Andrew commcnced his operations— first, administering a strong solution of soap and water, and, wielding an edge keen enough not only for the stubble, but fully equal to an experiment on the carotid artery, he takes poor Garrett by the nose, and, lifting the poor man's liead towards the ceiling of the room, still holding the nose in an iron grasp, when Garrett screamed out that he felt a hand in his pocket,—" Hold, hold,— don't stir," repeated Andrew, " or ," " My pock— et ; somebody is shaving my pock— et," cried out poor Garrett ; which was too true, for, while the husband was screwing up the nose of his unfortunate customer, the wife had gone through the variations of the scene, in which she very ably played first fiddle, by lightening poor Garrett's pocket of 12s.!! The scene, as described, would have been a rich treat for the pencil of Hogarth. The wife has been sentenced to seven years' trans- portation, while 1 . ahiff is consigned to amuse himself at the tread- mill for six months.— Limerick Paper. named Thomas Berrey, Henry Bay/ is, and John i herrey, detected for offering fowls for sale in the streets of Cheltenham, and selling them much below a fair price, were apprehended on suspicion of having stolen them, and have since been tried at our County ! Sessions, and received sentence of seven years' trans- portation ; and, on Monday last, a fellow was ob served hawking fine ducks for sale in this city, at less than one- third their real value ; but unfortunately he was not detained. The method thus adopted to dispose of their plunder, is the best proof that the thieves receive no encouragement from respectable poulterers; and a timely forbearance on the part of the public, in resisting the temptation of " cheap bar- gains," might operate as a salutary check to the law- less and boundless career of the depredators.— In se veral counties, the Magistrates uow view poultry stealing as a very serious offence, and have visited the guilty offenders, at several of the present Sessions, with the punishment of transportation.— Gloucester Journal. ANECDOTE OF OLD ASTLEY.— When that worthy observed a clarionet- player in his orchestra take the pi; e from his mouth, aed t.. p the desk with h s finger, he tailed out fo him, " What are you idling for, you Sir: why don't you blow away, as you are paid for blowing?" The man answered, " I am counting the bars." " Count ng the bars !" roared Astley in a rage, " and what business have jou to count bars when I hired you tu play the clarionet ? Blow, Sir, blow, 1 insist on it, or I'll discharge you, to count the bars, aye, ahd the bolts too, if you've a mirid, elsewhere." Another time he employed an artist to paint a drop- scene representing an ancient temple; and observing that the pillars ( foreshort- ened) were not all of a length, he rated him in round terms for a fraud ; aud when the painter pleaded the laws of perspective, he rejoined," Per- spective! Sir, perspective!— don't talk to nie of perspective. 1 am a plain man, and know nothing of perspective,— but I've paid you to paint a temple with pillars; and I'll have the pillars all of a size, for the public who come to my theatre pay their money at the door for seeing things according to nature, and they sha'n't be imposed upon, or cheated with half measure of pillars or any thing else. Perspective, indeed! Perspective maybe a very fine thing, Sir, but honesty's a d— d deal better, let me tell you." On examining a large block of elm, which had just been sawn through, iu Messrs. Dikes mid Gib- son's yard, on Monday morning, it was discovered that the tool had laid opeu a recess in the heart of the tree, in which vvas deposited a bird's nest, con- taining eight or nine eggs The nest was formed of inoss and the other usual materials of such constructions, and the eggs apparently those of the titmouse. The surface of the cavity in which the nest is placed is in a rotten state, but the surround- ing wood is perfectly sound, and there is not the slightest trace of any fissure affording a comniuni- cation with the external air. At whatever period, and under whatever circumstances, the little artist had built her nest, the passage affording ingress to it had grown up, au operation of nature which must have required at least a quarter of a ceutury to effect it .— Hull Packet. picion that the fire was occasioned by sonic diabolical incendiary.

The salmon fishing in the Tweed closed on Satur- day, after one of the most unsuccessful seasons ever experienced. There have been nearly 300 boxes fewer shipped to the London market than there were last year. The number of salmon have not been in the usual proportion to the trouts.— Berwick Paper. During Ihe night between last Tuesday and Wednesday, a stack of hay and another of clover, value about £ 70, belonging to Mr. Machcn, Stub- bing House, near Ecclesfield, and about five miles from Sheffield, were nefariously set fire to and destroyed. There can be no doubt that some in cendiary or incendiaries intentionally caused the damage to Mr. Machen's property ; and there is ground for supposing that the villain or villains were led to commit the mischief in consequence of Mr. Machen's not having complied with the re- quirements contained in two letters to dismiss a workman in his service, who, after attending the proper hours of labour at Mr. Machen's, was em- ployed night or morning by au individual or two ill the neighbourhood to take care of game. The proprietor of a grass farm of 3D0 acres, within seven miles of Aylesbury, resolves to keep it unoccupied fir the next half- year, to save the rates?

AGRICULTURAL TURN- OUT.— The " turn- out" is reaching the farmers; a gentleman who represents one of the oldest families in Lincolnshire has re- ceived notice, from nearly forty of his tenants, of their intention to quit their farms.— Stamford Mercury. In an action in the Court of King's Bench, on Tuesday, Beauchamp v. Parry, on a bill of ex- change for £ 375, the plaintiff vvas nonsuited, the consideration for which the bill was given having been a bet upon the Derby Stakes at Epsom. About a week since, a rector of a parish, not twenty miles from Exeter, met his parishioners to receive his tithes. The farmers told him that at the preceding fair they had not been able to sell their cattle, — they had no money ; but if the Rev. Gentleman bad any disposition to take the amount in produce, he was welcome, but they had no money. This is a specimen of the agricultural in- terest of this county.— Western Times. The triumphal arch to the King's new palace in St. James's Park is to be embellished by representa- tions of the most illustrious warriors of Great Britain. The figures will he eight feet in height. It will also be adorned with military trophies. The key stone of the middle arch, fronting the park, has been sculp- tured in the form of a lion's head. A carrot, 5 ft. 7 iu. in length, and 9 in. in circum- ference at the top, was taken out of Mr. B. Caflin's garden, New Town, Chichester, last week ; another of four feet was dug in Mr. Flower's garden, Mans- field. advantages over the bridges now in use :—" There is not a single curve used in its construction. Every piece of timber which hears a weight, bears it in the direction of the grain ; so that there is no spring, no shaking ; and you pass over the bridge as if it were of stone. The quantity of timber used ill it is com- paratively small; and any part of it may be removed, upon occasion to replace it, without injury to the structure There is not a tenon or mortice necessary, so that the timber is not weakened, but employs its whole force for the purpose for which it is intended. The bridge is 70 feet iu length, and we see no reason why, with a proportional increase in the size of the timber, a bridge of a similar construction might not be built of three or four or five times the length." Grand Chiro, the capital of modern Egypt, is situ- ated near, it not upon, the site of Memphis. In this city but few reties of the magnificence of the former rival of Thebes are now to be found. Its temples have been destroyed, its famous palaces no longer exist, and but few traces arc left of the sources of its former renown. Turkish mosques and the religion of Mahomet have displaced the magnificent temples of the Bull Apis, to whom the ancient Egyptians paid their adorations. Although the temples of their insane worship are destroyed, the Pyramids yet stand as emblems of the vanity and superstition of their Kings. Mary Sharpe, spinster, an old woman, who died at Eaton, near Belvoir, last month, had received parochial relief upwards of 40 years. She wasalways in appearance an object of the greatest poverty and distress, and frequently declared she had not suffi- cient allowance to support nature. After her death the overseers found in her apartment a large oak chest and two boxes filled with wearing apparel, and certain sums of money concealed within different parts thereof, and a small box full of ancient coins and pocket- pieces of various descriptions. The fol- lowing is an " inventory" of the deceased's wardrobe — viz. 25 gowns, about 30 chemises, 10 flannel petti- coals, 10 skirts, 28 aprons, 51 handkerchiefs, 20 caps, 9 pairs of stockings, 5 pairs of shoes, 2 red cloaks, 4 bonnets, set of handsome baby linen, new coat, waist- coat, breeches, and a hat, a quantity of new home- spun sheets, pillow covers, & c. prints, stuffs, calicos, napkins, stays, wedding- ring, ear- rings, & c. The who'e came under the hammer of Messrs. Barton and Clark on the 1st instant, and produced for the parish upwards of £ 20. So great was the curiosity of the villagers and neighbourhood to witness this most singular sale, that a vast concourse of people assembled on the occasion.— Leicester Chronicle. THE RAILWAY CONTEST.— On Tuesday last, the judges appointed to report on the performances of the locomotive carriages at Rainhili, gave in their report to the Directors, and, in consequence of the opinion expressetl by them, the prize of £ 500 was adjudged by the Directors to Mr. Robert Stephenson, of Newcastle. It has not yet been decided whether the report of the judges shall be published or not. We understand, however, that it expresses no opinion as to the principle of Messrs. Brathwaite and Eric- son's carriage, but merely gives a statement of the respective performances of the different carriages.— Liverpool Times. A farmer in the parish of Fourdonn, whose stead- ing was much infested with rats, took the following simple method to get clear of them, by which he has caught upwards of 400:— He placed a large copper kettle in bis corn- loft, and filled it about half full of water, and strewed a thin sprinkling of chaff over it, and, by a few deals extending from the wall to the kettle, the rats were enabled to avail themselves of it, and, mistaking the chaff and water for corn, leapt in to partake, when ihey invariably met with death by drowning. PRODIGIOUS FLIGHT OF BIRDS.— There are several islands on the coast of Van Diemen's Land, and the number of birds seen at times is almost incredible. " There was," says Captain Flinders, " a stream of Sooty Petrels, of from 50 to 80 yards in depth, and of 300 yards or more in breadth; the birds were not scattered, but flying as compactly as a free movement of their wings seemed to allow ; and during a full hour and a half this stream of petrels continued to pass without interruption, at a rate little inferior to the swiftness of the pigeon. Taking the stream to have been 50 yards deep, and 300 in breadth, and that it moved at the rate of 30 miles an hour, and allowing nine cubic inches of space to each bird, the number would amount to 151,500,000. The burrows required to lodge this number of birds would be 75,750,000; and allowing a square yard to each burrow, they would cover something more than 18J geographical square miles of ground."— This fact is curious in itself; and it is further of importance as tending to show that the sea birds, which have been mentioned as the principal architects of the super- marine portion of the new lands in the Australian seas, are so far from being inadequate to such a pur- pose, that they can effect it in much shorter time than those who are not aware of their numbers would be apt to believe.— The Picture of Australia. VENICE.— There is an interest about Venice, but it is a melancholy interest; one views it with a mournful preciousness, in remembrance of what it w- as " in the days of other years." It is now mouldering fast into decay ; in fact, sinking into the very waters But the Venetians console themselves with the hope that their city is to be made a free port. Of this, how- ever, there is a doubt, as the sum demanded by the Emperor of Austria, by way of indemnity, is £ 70,000 a year, and how this is to be raised it would be diffi- cult to divine. But that hope which always clings to the unfortunate still hovers round the Venetians, and they again dream of the golden days of commerce and the republic. As it is, nothing can be more lamentable than their condition. Their harbour, which heretofore was filled with vessels from every clime, now contains only a few fishing boats, and some 50 or 60 gondolas. There is but one frigate of any size at Venice, and this is filled with Austrian " Cannoniers de Marine" These fellows cut tho most ridiculous figure possible, know ing nothing what- ever of naval tactics. They wear long swords, which they keep drawn all day in walking the deck.— Notes of a Bambler.
