A careful investigation warrants the con- usiou, that there has been only one person con- > rned, and that the homicide was stimulated both y a spirit of revenge and a love of plunder. The Mowing are the details:— Mr. Franks, lately de- based, was gamekeeper, butler— indeed an every ay useful servant, to the late Lord Elcho ; and hen age and consequent frailty rendered. him tin- gle for the prompt discharge of his multifarious lilies, his Lordship made such arrangements as cabled his old and respected servant to subsist in bumble but comfortable independence. Oil the 3tli July, Mr. Franks was consigned to the grave, nd he left the hapless subjects of this notice— a idow nearly fifty, and a daughter of fifteen years f age— to lament his death. On Sunday last, ac- 3rding to custom, they attended the Rev. Mr, logg's chapel, and no doubt, they had very little ispicion that it was for the last time. The house in which they resided is nearly 10fl ards from the village of Abbey, and, with the arden, is inclosed by a wall above six feet in eight. The village youths never once thought ol tealing fruit from people so warmly beloved, and onsequently the garden door stood always open laving his plans carefully matured, the murderet eliberately fastened the garden door so that the scape of his intended victims, and any attempts al ssistance, were rendered exceedingly difficult le then scaled the wall and proceeded to the awfu ork of homicide. His ( irst attempt to gain admit ance was on a window in front of the house. Ht roke two panes of glass, but the inside shutter: . ere too securely fastened to yield to his efforts.— Inffled and disappointed, he had recourse to anothei » iudow iu the same room, and after breaking tw< anes of glass, and after a world of exertion, tin ceper srave way, and the monster obtained admis ion. He passed deliberately through the room hi ough a sinuous passage, through the kitchen, anc hen burst into the bed- room of Mrs. Franks ant ir daughter. The unfortunate ladies bad beei Li med by the noise the villain made in breaking uto their sanctuary. The mother had time ti hrow her gown over her petticoat, but the daugh er, a stranger to the crimes of the world, ant laturally possessing a more tranquil mind, and be ng more soundly asleep, had barely time to clolhi lerself with the gown she had had on at church • re she was in the grasp of her ruthless murderer 3read, desperation, and the potent instinct ofsel ireservation, naturally incited a resolute resistance jut the well prepared and determined murdere irevailed. In the vain and delusive hopeof escape be wretched mother fled from the appalling seen if death, and ran to the garden door, expecting ti each the village, but then she was stopped by th * ool and fiendish deliberation of her destroyei Having dispatched the daughter, he followed th nother, seized her at the garden door, and, will me of her own table- knives, euded her life b; nearly severing her head from her body. He the threw the bleeding corpse into a hog- stye, whic was only ten yards distant; and yesterday aftet noon the marks of the ruffian's gory hands wer obvious on the entry door. The bloody traged being finished, the scarcely less important cousidei ation next caine— that of plunder. He coolly locke the kitchen door inside, turned out the content and ransacked all the repositories; indeed, s minute and persevering was the search, that a coi siderable breadth of plaster was torn from the roi ofa room in ihe attic story, where there had pri viously been a small aperture, in expectation, ti doubt, that money was concealed in that unusui place. The rings were torn from the ears of Mr Franks; three gold rings, it is said, were take from her finger, which are carried otf along with silver watch. Unfortunately the murderer tnisst a bill of £ 17. 10s. 6d.— unfortunately, it is just considered— as the subsequent progress of this bi might have been the means of tracing out the mu derer with less trouble than, it is feared, will I requisite in bringing him to the untimely and ign minious death he deserves. Having completed h unhallowed undertaking, and secured all the pi mid that suited his purpose, the ruffian retired, as I had entered, by the window. Neither on Monday nor Tuesday was Mrs. Fran or her daughter observed; but this excited no St prise, as it was concluded by those by whom til were missed, that they were absent on a friend visit to a relation who resides in North Berwic On Wednesday morning a woman requested a you man to make his way over the garden wall, a ascertain if a pig that belonged to Mrs. Franks h any provision. He promptly obeyed, and on loc ing into the hog- stye he was horrified by the sig of the widow's mangled remains. He gave an voluntary but vehement scream, and his employ Mr. Dudgeon, a miller, and a number mo promptly repaired to the spot. The body w taken out, and, to their inexpressible horror, th discovered that her throat was cut from ear to e Alarming suspicions flashed across their mine they instantly ran to the house, and having obtain an entrance, they discovered the daughter, pa dead, lying amidst a great quantity of blood, a the brain protruding from her skull. The alarm immediately spread, and horror s consternation accompanied the awful details. Li Elcho, the Sheriff, the Procurator Fiscal, acct panied by Doctors Howden and Black, repaii instantly to the scene. The bodies were inspect and the medical gentlemen prepared a report in usual form, preparatory to any subsequent p ceedings that may ensue. The corpses were afi wards dressed, and yesterday many a heartfelt s was breathed over the cold remains of the mot and daughter, as they both lay stretched in i coffin. They were ever ready at the call of distri and when their own slender means were inadeqin they have occasionally appealed to Lord Elclio, some of the other rich and benevolent iudividi residing iu the vicinity, and in the common, expressive language of one who knew them w " they were a great blessing to the place." r. coffin was plain hut elegant— a diamond on centre of the lid enclosed the initials in spleu gilt letters, " C M." ( Catherine M'unro) the moll and " M. F." ( Matilda Frank's) the daughter ; burial day is not positively fixed, but unless sc unlooked ' for discovery is made, it will in all lik hood take place to- morrow. The civil authorities are using every possi exertion to discover the murderer. One man been apprehended— he has been once exainir and remains in Haddington gaol under circuoiatnu strongly suspicious. When irritation, alarm, indignation run so high, it would be impruden publish one of the thousand statements that ar circulation, more especially as, up to a late h yesterday afternoon, the prisoner firmly deniet knowledge of the murders ; no one saw him t the premises, and no part of the stolen property been found in his possession. Yesterday the she fiscal, and assistants, were pursuing their inqui at North Berwick, and no exertion will be wan on their part to bring the murderer to deser punishment. TO THE CLERGY.

R. MORRALL, Clerk to the Trustees. ELLESMERE, 6th Oct. 1829. Great, alarm lias been excited among the dabblers in ( he shares of the Bubble Companies bv a decision [> f a jury in the Court of Cofnmon Pleas', tinder the direction of Chief Justice Tirnlal, in a case arising. out tjf Ihe failure of the Imperial Distillery Association. The facts pf the Case have been stated as follows:— In March, 1S25, certain persons met together and con- torted ( he Imperial Di, tillery Company, which was to consist of 12,000 shares, at £ 50 each, constituting a iapital Of £ 600,000. They invited, by i prospectus and advertisements, persons to apply for shares, stating lit the same time that those to whom shares were promised were to pay a deposit of £ 5 per share by a given day ; and that the holders of the receipts for the deposit would be entitled to tertificates of shares on paying the next instalment, and signing the trust deed when that instrument was prepared ; and further, that those who did not pay the second instal- ment and sign the deed within 30 days after being required to do so, would forfeit their right to shares and all interest in the company. On the faith of these notices many persons applied for shares, of whom a large proportion sbld their scrip receipts, or declined to become partners by signing the deed when it was proposed. A small number paid the second instalment, and Signed the trust deed. It should here be mentioned that, although th" company was to consist of 12,000 shares, the number appropriated did not amount to 8000, and that of these not more than 2300 paid even the first deposit; notwithstanding which the directors proceeded « vitli the undertaking, agreed to purchase premises, repaired and filled up those premises, but forgot to pay for them or the repairs. Proceedings ffefe instituted for the recovery of these sums from some of the director? anil persons who had signed the trust deed ; but the claimants were afterwards induced to commence fictions against other individuals who might he considered also liable ; in consequence actions were instituted against it arge nnmber of persons, amongst whom were manv • who had done nothing but, ausk for shares and received a letter telling them that shares were atv propriated to them; others, who had paid the first deposit, but declined to pay the second, or sign the deed; and others who, having paid the first deposit, sold their scrip receipts, and never took any further concern in the company, and consequently neither paid the two instalments, nor signed. After various delays, during which many of the parties had been terrified info a compromise, the actions were brought to trial last week against the remaining persons included in the record ; and Chief Justice Tindal laid down the law-- That any person applying for shares, and receiving an answer that shares were appropriated ( although the conditions on which he was to become entitled to the profits of the company were no fulfilled), was a partner, and liable in- dividually to the whole debt of the company." This decision of Chief Justice Tindal, notwitli. standing the great outcry that has been raised against it, appears to us to be perfectly correct in point of law, and perfectly just as respects morality. It has been though!, however, extremely hard that verdicts should be obtained against persons who had merely applied for shares, and had received for answer that such shares were appropriated to thein. Now for our part, we take a different view of the question A person applying for shares, of course wishes to become a partner in the concern; atanv rate th- act of so applying is an intimation of such wish • atid the reply of the directors, granting his request, to all intents and purposes constitutes him a partner A proposal is made on the one hand, and accepted on the other, and of course the agreement is completed But it is said the persons alluded to never intended to become partners, and had not in any way held them selves out as partners. This is asserted, but not proved. We can easily believe that they did not wish to be rendered responsible. They, honest souls' only dfsircd to partake of the advantages Of the bubble— not any of its disadvantages. They Wished in short, only to be gamblers— not traders; but - is he law recognises no gambling transactions of ' this kind, persons so situated are very properly considered partners. We are aware for what purpose the parties , n question wrote for the shares. It was simply to enable them to dispose of the letter entitling them to the shares, and thereby to realise a profit Rn. ( h, very selling of this letter shows that they Vere part ners. It was in reality a selling of their interest in the concern, and tl. ey could have no interest in a firm ot which they were not partners. But it may be argued that, having so disposed of their interest' t'hev ought not to be farther liable. There might be something in this, if the law had not very properly decided otherwise. Every commercial man knows that a partnership cannot be dissolved without the consent of the partners, and that such dissolution is not legally notified till it has appeared in the Gazette A correspondent, who signs himself » No Lawyer " says " I suppose it will not be argued that the usual notice m the Gazette, as to a dissolution of partner ship can be made available in such a case— as I believe, the who e of the partners must consent to wiH iTnon''! ' J m'Sht ha,, pPn , hat « ™ » > pa„ y with 10,000 shares ( no unusua I number), often trans- ferred, would consist of half a million, or more of ' ''" i'Tk ">,°'.; uc theyeach to consent individually, and to have their names published i„ the Gazette it • once ? Our correspondent is right in supposing that , a dissolution of partnership cannot be made available I in the case of bubble companies; and ive think that , however hard it may bear upon individuals, it is for I the general good of society that such is the cise It operates as a check upon all public delusions of the 1 kind, inasmuch as it is calculated to prevent people of 1 property ending their names to them. But our correspondent is desirous to know « how an un- I fortunate, who wishes to reform, can ever be relieved , from such a situation ?" VVe are sorry that we can . not give any satisfactory answer to this question. We . are afraid that the supposed unfortunate „, U, t do a, . other unfortunates are recommended to do by the old ' North- namely, " grin, and abide by r it. — Morning Herald.

On Thursday last, Michael Mellon and Thomas Magrath, lawyers, were placed at the bar, charged tvHft the murder of Thomas HanloUj on the Jfjth of September, in Thomas- street., They did not join in their challenges, and in consequence much time was lost before the Jury were sworn. The Solicitor- General conducted the case for the Crown, and was assisted by the Hon. Mr. Pluiikett, Messrs. Greene and Stack. The Counsel for the defence were Messrs. O'Cotinell, Shcilj and R. N.' Bennett. A highly respectable Jury having been sworn, The Solicitor- General rose and stated the case. He adverted to the existence of the combination drew a faithfully appalling picture of its extent, objects, & c.— described, with much succinctness, the. circumstance of the murder of Hanlou— the nature of the testimony he had to produce against flie prisoners, and called on the Jury to discharge their duty faithfully aud fearlessly. Tim. MolToy, a sawyer, ( approver) was the first witness examined. He stated, that on the Sunday previously to the murder,, he met the prisoner Mellon ill a shop in Golden- lane, when he told him , the. v had a job of slating lo do upon a pair of lawyers, » ho worked in Dirty- lane for 18s. a week, and that he wanted some volunteers to aid him: will. ess excused himself on the ground that he was now " too old fov foreign service,' raud he intimated to Mellon that he was also so; he promised, how- ever, to go to Hannigan's public- house, in Golden lane, on the ensuing Thursday, aud went there, when he saw Mellon exchange his own coat for one of a ditferent colour, belonging to Hannigan, w hich, he said, he wanted to go to a funeral ; it had been determined to take advantage of this funeral to fZa/ e the obnoxious pair of men. Mellon, he, and another then proceeded to another public- house in Thoma("- street, in a bac k- parlour of which they had pome whiskey, given them by William Lynaiu, the President of the Trade; they also got bludgeons there, and were ordered by the President of " the body" to go out, thus armed with the bludgeons, ( several of which were, shown in the Court, and appeared most murderous weapons,) and walk about in pairs to wait the spotters— i, e. the men who were to show thcin those that were to be slated. They did so; and witness deposed, that when the funeral was coming up Dirty- lane he went for a while under the bier, and when he was relieved and approached James's- gate, he heard the noise about the man ( Hanlon); on coming up he saw fifteen or sixteen beating him on the ground, aud he saw both prisoners, whom he identified and knew for a considerable time, strike him with their bludgeons. After they had thus beaten him about five or ten minutes, they ran across to the other side of the street, when one of them, Magralh, the prisoner, seeing some signs of life remaining in Hnnlon, called on the others to " come back and finish their work Magrath, and one or two others, did accordingly return, and the prisoner struck deceased on the head aud legs, after which the whole party ran away and effected their escape, dropping asunder as they proceeded through the Coombe towards Kevin's port, where the witness parted from them. He did net strike the deceased, as he had left his bludgeon in a dung- heap in MarshaUaue,: while going back from the fnneral. This witness underwent a rigorous cross- examin- ation from Mr. O'Connell, but his evidence as to the facts of the case was unshaken. The purport of the cross- examination was to show that he was an old combinator, who had on several former occasions been selected as a determined slater, and that for one of these affairs he had been obliged to leave the country. The next witness examined was Mrs. Hannigan, the ow ner of the public- house in Golden- lane, who corroborated the testimony of Molloy, as to Mellou's asking for and getting her husband's dark kersey coat, ( his own was a drab surtout,) to go, as he said, to a funeral; she was also exact with the former witness as to the time of the occurrence, about six o'clock. And she further deposed, that on there- turn of the prisoner to her house, within a short time of the commission of the murder, one of the party said, in Melton's hearing, " we did that job. Michael Kelly, a young lad, ( carpenter) witnessed the facts of Ihe murder, and deposed that the prisoners struck Hanlou with their bludgeons; he also narrated the circumstances relative to Magrath having returned Ihe second time and beaten the deceased. His cross- examination elicited nothing to affect his direct evidence. William M'Donnell, a pedlar from Longford — but at the time of the murder lodging in the imme- diate vicinity of the spot where the murder took place— deposed to the circumstances atteuding it, and that it was Magrath who struck deceased the second time. Patrick Hughes, companion of the murdered man, was next called, but he could not identify any of the assailants. Mr. Cullinane gave evidence of the dreadfully lacerated state of the deceased, when brought to the Hospital, ( Steveus's.) This closed the case for the Crown. Several witnesses were called to prove an alibi for Magrath ; their depositions went to slate that he accompanied the funeral from the time it left Dirty- lane, half- past five, until it reached Bully's- ftcre at seven ; their evidence was apparently quile consistent throughout ; he also got a good character from Mr. M'Kenna, his employer. For the prisoner Mellon it was attempted to prove that he had spent the time, during which the murder took place, in Hanigau's public house, and that while there he did liot change his coat. Mrs. Hanigan was again called and examined ; • he adhered to her former evidence, that Mellon had changed his coat, and stated that the two witnesses who had given evidence for the alibi, were not at all in her house. The Chief Baron charged the Jury briefly, who retired to their box, and in about four Injurs returned with a verdict of guilty against both prisoners, on whom immediately after Baron Smith passed the awful sentence of death. On Friday fronting, at Ihe sitting of the Court, on the application of Mr. Greene, of Counsel for the Crown, the trials of fourteen persons, against whom bills had been found for being implicated in the murder of Hanlon, were postponed until the next Commission. On Saturday last, at one o'clock, Magrath and Mellon suffered the sentence of the law, in front of fjewgate, with the greatest firmness and resignation. Their bodies Were sent to Surgeons' Hall. [ In Ihe course of Friday a communication was made, through the proper channel, lo the Lord Lieutenant, on behalf of " the body," ( the name for the combined parties), expressing their willingness to give up all books and papers, providing the lives of these men might be spared, aud their sentence commuted to transportation. The Chief Secretary observed, that the Government were in possession of the most valuable information respecting the system by means of which the plan of resistance to the laws was curried on , aud that it was fully determined that strict obedience to Ihe laws should be enforced ] WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1829. ggg-' Without, questioning the accuracy of the statement furnished by our Wellington Correspondent, we must observe, that we cannot publish c'tidenCe, furnished ex parle by any person. •, MARRIED.

Celebration of the Nuptials of the Rev. W. Clive and Miss Toilet. J The inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Welch Pool gladly availed themselves of the oppor- tunity of testifying their feelings of respect and regard for their highly- esteemed Vicar. A public meeting was convened to take into consideration and adopt such measures as appeared best adapted to the occasion ; when it was resolved, that, among other demonstrations, the children of the National Schools* in that town should be regaled with dinner in the school rootns. The committee appointed to conduct Ihe rejoicings purchased six very large fine sheep for the occasion, which were to be paraded about the town, followed by the children; and it is needless to say how much their little hearts rejoiced in the pro- spect and expectancy of the forthcoming joyous day. Soninus, we dare assert, had but a limited influence in many dwellings the night preceding the festival. The morning of the expected arrival of the rever- end gentleman and his lady at the vicarial residence was ushered in with every demonstration of joy ;—• the merry bells with " brazen throats" announcing to the more distant inhabitants of the parish, whilst bugles sounding, hands playing, and banners flying, gave more immediate intimation to the town folk, that Wednesday last was to be a festive d:'. y. The sheep ( preceded by a band of music, and followed by the children of Ihe schools wearing favours) were paraded through the principal streets, and afterwards roasted. At one o'clock, dinner being announced, a most gratifying scene ensued;— the children, about 270, having taken their places at the tables, at a signal as with one impulse stood up whilst the Rev. W. Lewis, in a most impressive manner, made an offering of thanksgiving' to Him— " Whose mercy like a river flows.*' The Rev. W. Lewis presided at one, and Edward Pugli, Esq.

Imagination could better picture than pen describe the now exceedingly inter- esting scene— so many faces— " Where Happiness, descending, sat and smiled." Not a Court of Aldermen at their civic feasts, nor old Christopher North and his friends at Ambrose's, ever sat down with such high expectancy, nor did tliey ever enjoy a meal more than this happy assem- blage did the roast mutton provided for them; after which they had a suitable quantity of punch allowed them, to drink to the health and happiness of their Patron and his Bride. Immediately after the dinner at the school rooms, about seventy of the more respectable inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood ( decorated with white favours) formed themselves in a cavalcade, followed by the Magistrates of the Borough in a carriage drawn by four horses ( post- boys and horses decorated with favours), to meet the Vicar on the confines of his parish at Pool Quay. The approach of Mr. Clive's carriage was announced by the return of a messenger dispatched for the purpose; the cavalcade immediately " opened files," on which the Magistrates proceeded to meet the Reverend Gentleman and his Bride, and to convey to them the respectful congra- tulations of the parishioners, hoping they may enjoy that OXFORD.— On the 3d instant, Fravcis Knyveit Leighton, B. A. Demy of Magdalen ( only son of Col. F. k. Leighton, of Shrewsbury), Edward Hulse, B. A. Gentleman Commoner of Christ Church, and Brooke William Robert Boothby, B. A. late Student of Christ Church, were elected Fellows of All Souls College.

ENGINE and ROUND PIT ROPES, FLAT DITTO, PACKING YARNS for Steam Engines, TOWING LINES for Canal Barges and River Craft, BOLT ROJ » E, together with CABLES, HAWSBRS, and the other aiital Equipments required for Shipping. Their Flat Ropes are made either of Russia or Manilla Hemp, upon an improved Plan of Mr. CCRR, the original Patentee, under whom, in early Life, Mr, GKATRS served, and where he acquired the Rudiments of that Knowledge by which, after many Years of practical Study, he perfected the Machinery now- used at this Establishment exciusivelv. A lar^ e Stock of ready prepared Yams is held in constant Readiness ; aud Cables, Engine, and Round Pit Ropes, & c. are supplied at a Day's Notice, if Necessity require. Of Manilla Hemp, now for the first Time introduced into the Manufacturing of Flat Ropes, the Properties are,— that it is impervious to the Influence or Frosl and Damp; traverses through Blocks smoothly and with the least possible Friction ; and being of adequato Strength without ' far, it is scarcely three- fourths so henvy, but far more durable than the ordinary Bempea Rope. The extensive Consumption of this Article on Board Ship attests its Importance ; and as its extreme Lightness reduces the Cost within the Limits of th « tarred Rope, it is confidently recommended as a most valuable and economical Substitute.

Monday last, the final examination of Thomas Jenkins, took place at the Mansion- house, Doncaster, and he was fully committed to take his trial as the principal in Ihe above robbery, at the next York Assizes. II appears to have been a <( put. up robbery," anil planned by persons on the pre- mises. Thomas Jenkins was the principal waiter at the bar; and otic of the gang is an accomplished " cracksman," another, the " putter up," a fence of B'inie standing, and the keeper of a notorious house in Ihe neighbourhood of Covent Garden. Notwith- standing the very severe loss, and the great expense and trouble since the robbery, the proprietors offered a further reward, in the event, of a recovery of any part of the stolen property. This has excited the cupidity of one of the persons concerned in the robbery, who, it would appear, is a disappointed man. Through this channel the whole plan has been developed; and the locksmith who made the key has been discovered by the indefatigable exertion of Mr. Tyturns, chief officer of police. It is very singular with what degree of facility these villains can turn and change their plans of operation. The robbery, we learn, was to have been effected in a very different way to w hat it was— by attacking the person who might have had the charge of the money on its way to a place of safety at night, w hich had been the usual custom ; but it having been known t! mt an iron chest on the premises was to be the depository, immediate attention was turned to effect the opening of it. by a false key, in the w^ y it has been effected. Since writing the above, we under- stand that another of the party is in custody, James alias Isaiah Smart.— Doncaster Gazette. " Domestic happiness, the only bliss " Of Paradise that lias survived the Fall.'* The cavalcade passed the carriage in single files, and bowed to the happy pair; the jirocession then rty turned to Pool, and upon its arrival at the Vicarage was met by the band. Here we must observe, that the most happy and interesting effect possible was produced,— by bells ringing, bands playing, banners and handkerchiefs waving, and the shouts of assem- bled thousands rending the air, whilst the Vicar handed his M blushing Bride" from the carriage. They were met at the gateway by the Rev. Messrs. Williams and Lewis, who conducted them to the house, whilst six of the senior girls of the school, neatly and tastefully decorated, strewed the path with flowers— the other children being ranged on each side the carriage- way. The gentlemen afterwards ( lined together at the Royal Oak Inn, J. D. Corrie, Esq. senior bailiff of the borough, in the chair. Mrs. Whitehall again displayed her excellent taste in the decoration of the table;— and the evening was spent in the most per- fect harmony and conviviality— heightened by some excellent songs, duets, glees, & c. by the resilient amateurs. The festivities were closed by a Ball and Supper at the Bear Hotel; and, in justice to Mrs. and Mr. Packwood, we must say, that the arrangements re- flected the highest credit upon them.

R HE ENGLISHMAN'S ALMANACK; * or, DAILY CALENDAR of GENERAL IN- FORMATION for tire UNITED KINGDOM, for 1830. This Almanack comes before the Public with en- tirely new and important Claims on their Attention. The Number of ifs Pages is now extended to 7' 2 ; and by Skill in Condensation, aided by close and elegant Printing',' the Editors have been enabled to cumpre within its Dimensions a Quantity of Matter far greater than could naturally be expected in a Work of the same Size. Amongst the Improvements introduced into the Calendar Department uill. be found, for the first Time in an English Almanack, the Periods of the Mi> ovrs rising and setting for each l) ay. One of the most interesting Novelties, how ever, contained, in the ENGLISHMAN'S AI. MANACK, is- the Series of In- s< inctions for the Treatment of Persons apparently dead from Dsou; niri » or other Causes, or who have taken any of the fowton Poisons. This is a Species of Information which, cannot be. too extensively dif- fused in a Country where, from the great Commercial Activity of the People, the Casualties incident to Life, are so multiplied ; and where, above all, the Facili- ties for procuring Poison are so strangely abundant. The List of the House of Peers has been arranged upon the. novel Plan of adding the Date, of his ttirth, and Description of his Crest, to the Name of each Noble- man, so as to form, in a great Measure, a ready Sub- stitute for the expensive Works on the Peerage The List of the House of Commons is followed by the far more con venient one of all the Ptnces represented, and the Members who sit for them. Not content with the dry Enumeration of Offices and Functionaries to which Almanacks have been hitherto limited, the Editors of the Englishman's Almanack have com, bined wjth a copious Register of such necessary In- formation, illustrative Details, which will be found valuable and curious. This Almanack, therefore, for the first Time in England, presents the Amount of Salaries or Parliamentary Allowances of the Members of the Royal Family, and the various great Officers of State, together with the Expenses of the chief State Establishments, Civil, Judicial, Military, Naval, & c. Under the Head of Police are given the streets of the Metropolis over which the different Offices have Juris- diction respectively, whereby vast Trouble and In- convenience may he saved to Numbers of its Inhabit- ants The Post Office Arrangements, and the Days of Transfer at the Public Offices, are presented in a novel and convenient Manner for Reference. The Intelligence respecting the leading Institutions throughout the Country connected with Education, is more minute than can he found in any other Alma- nack :— the Exhibitions to the Universities by most Schools and by the London Companies are set forth ; aud this Department is completed by ample Informa- tion for Persons desirous of embracing the Legal or Medical Professions. The Utility of the numerous Lists comprehended under Commerce is considerably enhanced by those of the States with which England has concluded Treaties of Reciprocity, and of the Warehousing Ports of the British Islands. The Tables of" Stamp Duties and Assessed Taxes, and the Regu- lations for the various Modes of Con veyauce in London are g- iven in a considerably enlarged Form. Considering- the Multiplicity of Important Matters which pressed for a Share of their Pages, the Editors of the Englishman's Almanack confess that they have not had Space for any of those sagacious Axioms and pregnant Brevities which are sometimes to be found in Almanacks, to the Exclusion, as they think, of what is Infinitely more appropriate. Entirely aloof from all factious Sympathies, either in Polities or Literature, the Editors profess only to offer to the Public a Work which, whilst it affords Assistance to those engaged iu the practical Business of Life, tends also to promote a universal Disposition to mutual Kindness, in diffusing a Knowledge of the Means by which oftentimes that Disposition may be best carried into Effect.

BLACK GELDING, 5 Years old, by [ From the Manchester Chronicle of Saturday last.'] We regret to state that the slight improvement which we noticed m onr last and previous Papers, has this weefc given way to ah appearance of a directly opposite character. The market on Tuesday was most discouraging to our manufacturers and merchants, and the complaints in consequence have bren loud and general. During the latter part of the week there has been a slight revival in the demand for some descriptions of goods!; but the prices are such as will scarcely remunerate the manufacturers. The buyers who frequent the market are sparing in their orders, they being afraid to do business to an extent more than will supply their present wants. The calico- printers in general have little or nothing to do ; and the fustian trade is, if possible, in a stilt mbre discouraging state, the prices being such as to cause a considerable sacrifice to the manufacturers. The only article which meets with satisfactory sa| e is twist for exportation, for which, we understand,: there is an improved demand. » » * » * It is with nations as with individuals,— they are, occasionally, alarmed into reflection.- And unques- tionably, if this Country was ever led, by the charac- ter of existing circumstances, to the exercise of this most necessary and important duty, it is at the pre- sent time. Never was there a season of more. general distress, and never was distress less mitigated by the prospects of relief. We are arrived at that melan- choly period, in which there is nothing to hope, and every thing to fear. We stand as it were upon the brink of a precipice,— and we know not how soon it may be our fate to be numbered among the nations who have flourished and are no more. Let us, if it be possible, calmly contemplate our condition. What then is the state of our Commerce ? We do not hesitate to say, that in every department it bor- ders upon actual ruin. Be the causes what ( hey may, we assert the fact. Look where we will, ( here is not only no vigour discernible, but there scarcely exists a principle of life This gigantic creature is at last laid pio trate,— and all political restoratives are insufficient to its animation. We suspect, indeed, that the nostrums of certain physicians of the state have mainly contributed to ils end, and that quackery has proved as fatal to' the commercial as to the human body. But it is the fact iA which we are now interested— and notwithstanding the plaosible repre- sentations which impudence may make, and ignorance adopt, we repeat that the commercial interests were never at so low an ebb as they are at present. If they be otherwise, let us in the name of reason have some stronger evidence to that effect than a solitary paragraph extracted from the columns of a local journal of very questionable authority. No ! it is a truth, to which every individual capable of judging must assent, that nothing can be more deplorable t ian the present slate of our commerce.

TRADESMAN'S AND ME- 3 CHANIC'S ALMANACK, for the Use of Per- sons employed in TRADB Hud the MECHANICAL AKTS, for Ihe Year 1830. The decided Success with which the Englishman's Almanack has been honoured on ils first Production in 1829, has induced lhe Company uf Stationers to prepare an entirely New Almanack for the Year 1830, the Contents of which are directly applicable to Men engaged in Mercantile and Mechanical Pursuits The Causes which have led to the Publication of such a Work must be sufficiently obvious to those who have winched tbe active Progress of geueral Society iu recent Years. They must have perceived that from various Quarters a Stimulus has been communicated to tbe Minds of that comprehensive Clnss of our Countrymen, the Members of which weie formerly contented to gain Distinction merely by their Hands, — until at last the Trading and Working Population has been reared into a Body not to be excelled by any. other in llie Slate for Intelligence and Attainment. The Company of Stationers then, ill offering to the Trading mill Mechanical Portions of Society an Almanack intended immediately for their Service and Convenience, are only acting upon tbe Principle which has uniformly guided them in the Construction of their various Almanacks ; namely, that of adapting these Publications to the Changes of Times, Tastes, and Circumstances. Independently of the essential Contents of an Alma- tpick, the Tradesman* s and Mechanic's will contain a Table of Comparison, shewing the Value of most Denominations of Foreign Coin, iu English Money — Lists of Public Functionaries, Stale Offices, Com- mercial Establishments, Btc. — Incorpo- ated Trading Companies, with their Halls and Times of Meeting — National Repository— Law and Public Offices— Tables of Stamp Duties and Assessed Taxes, Willi the Penal ties under the Stamp Act— Tables of Imerest and Computations for Investing Money — Courts for the Recovery of Stnull Debts, with all necessary Details Concerning them— Explanations of the Laws relating 10 Savings Banks and Friendly Societies, whereby the comparative Advantages of depositing Money in the one, aud of becoming a Member of the other, are explained— Copious Accounts of the Means of pro- curing the Admission of Children to Foundation Schools, aud other Particulars of various Places of Education— The Regulations of Apothecaries' Hall — Prizes ottered hy the Society of Arts for 1830 — Forms of various Documents, Bills, Memorandums, and Willi— Tables of Weights and Measures, with a Table of French Weights and Measures compared with those of England — Instructions for addressing Persons of various Ranks — Origin of Mercantile Companies — The Law of Patents fully explained— State of Trade— Consumption — Manufactures — Crime, — Exports &, Taxation— Tax on Literature— Public Libraries— Waste Land, aud liistriiclioni for Emigrants to the Swan River, 6ic. forniiug altogether a Body of appro pitate Information for the Trading and Mechanical Classes, such as never was presented to them iu the same Compass.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, NOV 6 — The Special Commission at Cork for the trial of prisoners charged with conspiracy to murder has terminated its labours. As soon as the Judges had taken their seats on Friday morniner, the Solicitor- General said, that his learned friends and himself had come to the determination not to proceed further in the trial of any others of the persons against whom indictments had been found for the conspiracy. This determi- nation had been induced by two considerations— one, the character of the evidence on which ( he prosecution rested— the other, an honest wish to Sive to the men slill untried time and opportunity fully to rebut that evidence. The Crown would have no objection to suffer the prisoners still un- tried to return to their homes j but on the condition that they should { jive bail for their appearance to stand trial at the next assizes This course having been assented to by Mr. O'Connell as counsel for the accused, Mr. Baron Pennefather expressed his concurrence, t'l- it under existing circumstances the termination of the commission would be the most becoming course. The remaining untried prisoners, fouiteen in uumber, were taken before the Mayor< and discharged upon bail.— It is stated that John Leary, James Magrath, William Shine, and James Raache, the prisoners found guilty oti the first day of the commission, have been reprieved.

Ky and SCAIITII, Solicitors, Shrewsbury, Between three and four o'clock on Wednesday morning, the Standard Coach from London to Liver- pool arrived in Coventry, bringing the intelligence that twelve convicts had succeeded in making their escape from a coach on their way to London for Chatham, and had dreadfully maltreated one of the keepers. The police of Covenlry were immediately on the alert, and a number of them set off in a post- chaise in pursuit of the fugitives. It appears that the following convicts, the whole of whom were under sentence of transportation for life, were removed from Chester Castle, on their route to Chatham, Under escort of Mr. Hillidge, chief turnkey, and two assist- ants named Davies and Roberts, viz. Samuel Latham, aged 30, for cattle stealing; Samuel Stephens, aged 22, and John Sefton alias Stephens, aged 27, ( bro- thers), for uttering forged notes; John Catley, aged 27, for forgery; George Edu ards, aged 45, iVilliam Kyles, aged 26, Joseph Worthington, aged 24, and William tlcech, alias Yates, alias Gates, aged 22, for horsestealing; Henry Wyatt, aged 17, for maliciously cutting; John Poole, aged 44, for horse stealing; Moses Mottram, aged 20, and Jumes Andrews, ageil 34, for sheep- stealing. In passing through Walsall, the pole chain of one of the wheel horses became un- hooked, and they consequently were unmanageable. In this state the coach came violently in contact with a car, and three of the outside passengers and the coachman were thrown oft', but the coach was not, as has been erroneously stated, upset. Hillidge had un- fortunately both his legs broken, one of which it be- came necessary immediately afterwards to amputate : and the two other passengers and the coachman were much bruised. The accident detained the coach full two hours; it at length proceeded on its route with the two assistant keepers. The coach left Birming- ham soon after nine o'clock, and passed through Coventry about half- past ten. Afler they had reached Meriden, the guard's attention was arrested by hear- ing one of the convicts filing the chain attached to his handcuffs. Without apparently noticing the noise, he contrived to apprise the keeper of the circum- stance, and the latter took the guard's situation be- hind, the guard afterwards riding with the coachman. With this alteration every thing became quiet, and there were no appearances of any attempt at escape. Four of the convicts were seated behind" the coach- man, five at the back part of it with one officer, and three inside with another; the guard riding with the coachman. When they arrived within about a mite and a half of Dunchurch, at a sequestered part of tbe road, two of the convicts who were inside, with Davies the turnkey, seized him, and after a desperate struggle, in which the latter was dreadfully beaten, they succeeded in getting the key of the handcuffs from him; they immediately released themselves, and put the handcuffs upon him with his hands behind. A signal was given at that moment fo those on the outside, which was answered by their seizing the coachman, guard, and turnkey ; the former they pinioned and also put a rope round his neck ; the oilier two they treated as they had Davies, fastening their hands behind them ; they then jumped down, loosed the horses from the coach, that it should not move ; they then took the slipper from the wheel, and one of them holding the lamp, they succeeded in knocking off some of their irons. At this moment, the Standard coach made its appearance, and the villains set off down Thurlaston- lane. When it came up, the coachman and guard released those whose hands were tied, and the coach proceeded on its journey; but the two keepers returned to Coventry, where the one who was handcuffed had his manacles knocked off, and every necessary attention was paid him ; the other, as soon as he could procure assistance, again set off in pursuit. When the two convicts had handcuffed Davies, they told him they did not wish to hurt him, but that they had made up their minds before they left Chester to have their liberty, or lose their lives in the attempt. Those on the outside said the same when they seized the other turnkey.— On Wednesday afternoon the Coventry police, who went out with one of the turnkeys, returned to Coventry about 3 o'clock, bringing Andreivs and Wyatt, two of the prisoners with them. Wyatt was taken by a toll- gate man, in the neighbourhood of Bourton, and Andrews in Mr. Lines's wood, in the same neighbour- hood. In about an hour, the Wonder coach brought in Worthington, who was taken at Wolston; and the Cambridge co » ch, at six o'clock, brought in Riles ffttgceUanfouo Entelligsncc.'

Sir, yo- ir obedient Servant,. " EDWARD WALPOLE." " William Hefapath; Esq. Bristol," As some gentlemen of Worcester - » cre TaMy out sporting at Stoullon, they perceived a large hawk on the ground, which apparency had just poanced on something; on approaching the spot,- the hawk fled, and left a very fine woodcock, alive, and very little injured. The Fonthill mansion house anrf estate tfere sold by auction a few days since by Mr. C. Robins ( who officiated for Kir. G. Robins, confined by severe illness,)' and realized 40,500 guineas. The freehold clothing establishment at Tisbury, connected with the Fonthill estate, and erected at an expehse of £ 38,000, produced £ 12, O0O; the Lawn farm of 107 acres sold for £ 4,900. The statement that Austrian Government had negociated a loan with Messrs. Rothschild, is con- firmed by the following article: — " Vienna, Oct. 18 — The new loan at four per cent, was yesterday contracted lor by our Government with the houses of Rothsditld, Geyanuller, Arnsteiu, and Fskeles, mid Sin a. The amount is said to be twenty- five millions of florins. Tbe primitive price i » stated to be 86 percent, with Ihe ail vantage of tbe coupon attached in the obligation ; so that the contractors do not pay more than ,84^ per cent." This is certainly a rare instance of a continental government effecting a loan, without any direct recourse to this country or to Holland, and on terms considerably below five per cent. In a commercial country a financial operation effected on such terms would be considered a matter of course; but in the Austrian dominions, and in Gefmany generally, capi- talists are very thinly scattered, and the monied interest exists only in a few towns, such a? Vienna, Frankfort, and Augsburg. The transaction deserves attention, as indicating; abundance of money on the Continent, and a confirmed opinion of the continuance of peace. THE BROMS< JHOVE BAILORS.— We are glad to say that these men are gone to work again. On Monday three of the masters were convicted in two penalties of £ 10 each, and one in one penalty, for paying their workmen otherwise than in money. After these convictions became known, the men assembled in a field behind the Crown Inn, where the Magistrates represented to them the propriety of returning to their work, observing, that if the practice of compelling them to take goods instead of money was continued, the law afforded tliem it remedy. To this recommendation the workmen willingly acceded. ALL IS NOT GOLD THAT GUTTERS.-— A short time ago a stylish sort of gentleman calling himself John Riches! took up his residence in lodgings in this city, and after the lapse of some little time waited upon Mr. Kirk, upholsterer and broker, fo whom he intimated his wish to take a house in an eligible situation, as it was his intention to com • nience business here as a jeweller. The gentleman did not fail to give a very flattering account of himself and his connections, stating that he bad £ 600 in his pocket, and could command any sum from hi* own and his wife's friends ; and upon the subject of references he said the best he could give was by prompt payment for all orders executed. Deceived by these representations, Mr. Kirk congratulated himself upon the excellent customer he had gained, and having agreed for a house for hint in the VVest- gate- street, he took and executed orders for furniture, & c. to the amount of about £ 300. Mr Riches also contrived to form an intimacy with Mr. Jackson, upholsterer, ( a friend of Mr, Kirk's,) which was more speciously maintained, as he professed a knowledge of several persons in Northamptonshire, with whom Mr. Jackson was acquainted. By way of giving Mr. Jackson " a turn," Riches favoured him likewise with orders to the amount of upwards of £ 80, but when about half of these were executed, Mr. J. thought he might as well get a little of " the ready" that was stated to be so plentiful, and asked for £ 20. Upon this application Riches expressed regret that he had not come a day or two before, as he had then got £ 1500 in his pocket, all of which he had since remitted to the persons who were to supply him with jewellery, & c. to open shop, but he said he expected a further sum of £ 1700 from his hankers in a few days, when Mr. J's demands should be fully paid. By this time, however, Mr. Jackson's suspicions and fears were alike excited ; he accordingly wrote to some friends at Northampton ( from which neigbour- hood Riches represented himself to have come), to enquire into the truth of his statement, and he also applied for a writ against him for the amount of the goods delivered. Oa Tuesday an answer arrived from Northampton completely falsifying the statement of Riches as to his family and connections, the writ was therefore immediately put in force, and Riches placed in custody of tbe Sheriff. It is almost needless to say, that there was not the slightest preparation on the premises for the promised display of gold and silver plate, & c. On the following day, Mr. Riches was introduced to the notice of the Magistrates, at the Tolsey, where various charges of fraud were exhibited against him ; but the evidence not being conclusive, he was again consigned to the custody of the Sheriff, where he still remains. It happens luckily for all parlies, that all the goods remain on the premises, excepting eatables and drinkables, which seem to have disappeared with wonderful facility.— Gloucester Journal.

OCTOBBR 13TH. OSWESTRY BRUNSWICK CLUB. On Thursday last, 1he 5th of November, the An nual Dini- r of the Oswestry Brunswick Club took place at the Cross Keys Inn, in that town; to which about 40 Members of the Club sat down. Among the gentlemen present we noticed W. Ormsby Gore, Esq. ( President), T. N. Parker, Esq. ( Vice- President), the Hon. Thomas Kenyen, the Rev. Dr. Donne, H. P. T. Aubrey, Esq. T. fiiilkelcy Owen, Esq'. John Jones, Esq. Rev Mr. Luxiuuore ( of Llanyinyiicoli), James Edwards, Esq. Rev. John RusselJ, Mr. Stephen Donne, Mr. C. Jones, Mr. Griffith Evans, & c. & c. The toasts of " Church and King"—" The Duke . of Clarence and the Royal Family"— and " The Duke of Cumberland"— having been given from the Chair,— THE PRESIDENT said; in proposing the next toast, he sliould l. eg leave to trespass on the attention of the meeting, while he made one or two observations connected w ith their present situation : most of 1 i\ ose whom lie now addressed were aware, that, at the assembly of flic Club, previous to tSeir entering that room, ii had been resolved, after appointing a Presi- dent and Vice- President to succeed those now in offire, that the Club should adjourn sine die, reserv- ing at the same time a power to the Committee, or a majority of them, to call a meeting of the members at any time, should any thing arise in the asfieef of public affairs to render such a step advisable. The Oswestry Brunswick Club was at first formed as a Political Club, most certainly ; but not until a system of agitation had been acted upon ill Ireland which demanded that such a course should lie adopted to ' counteract its efibits. That agitation' may in one s< Use be said to have subsided ; but, considering that t< than could know what Might De proposed in the nest Session of Parliament ; and looking to the pre- sent distracted state of frelnnd, with the knowledge that, as had been proved beyond a doubt On the late trials in that country, tut extensive system of con', sjiirncy existed there against life and property, which conspiracy, it was evident, had many find extensive ramifications, although, it was to he hoped, tile circle ' of their influeiice would' never reach this country,— looking to all this, it had beer, determined to adjourn their meetings . « "<> die, hut with the reservation that he had previously mentioned ; and he was sure that there was not a man present that would not, at a moment's notice, if circumstances required it, step forward, and sacrifice his life, if it were necessary, to support that unrivalled Constitution under which this country had risen to its exalted station among the nations of the earth.— The President concluded by giving " Prosperity to the Oswestry Brunswick Club;" which toast, and the prefatory remarks, drew forth the warmest approbation. The Hon. THOMAS KENYON said the President hail given him leave to propose a toast; and lie would not trespass long on the attention of the com puny by his remarks upon introducing it. He had in another place stated his opinion as to the course intended to be adopted by the Club; and he would therefore now only observe, that lie cordially con- curred in the proposition that Ivad been made as to their adjournment, as being the most dignified and most consistent course they could adopt. He need not state to that company the circumstances under which the Brunswick Clubs were first formed. Long before tliey embodied themselves the Roman Catholic Association had been in active progress; and the Brunswick Clubs were not formed until every oppro- brious epithet by which, as loyal Protestants, the individuals afterwards composing them, could be galled and stigmatized, had been applied to them; and when they did so' embody themselves, they did so for the legal purpose, not of injuring others, but of protecting themselves and their just rights. ( Ap- jihtv&. J When this Brunswick Club was first formed, he and others had expressed their dislike of all political clubs; but he and those with whom he had acted felt that so long as the Roman Catholic Association continued to exist, so long would it be necessary that those who viewed its efforts in the light they did sfioilld cmbody'thenwelves as a coun- teracting power: the Roman Catholic Association hud adjourned its meetings title die; and they had done the same; thus lenving- themselves prepared to meet again at any moment that circumstances might require— with their eyes own to watch the move- ments of the enemy, and their hearts prepared to resist his attacks". He ' would now propose the health of their able, sincere, and zealous President, Mr Omisby Gore. { Great applause. J The toast was drank with 3 times 3. Mr. ORMSBY GORE said he felt highly flattered by the honour the company hail conferred upon him ; and he begged to assure those w hom he then addressed that every thing connected with the Protestant Interest Of the Country would always excite a peculiar feeling ih his breast, and more especially w hen to that was added, as on the present occasion, the claims of association with so many of his este'emed fViends and neighbours.' "( theirs.) The Brunswick Club of Oswestry was the parent of the similar clubs in this vicinity ; and he trusted it would continue united and steady so long as any thing remained to render its vigilance ' necessary.—( Applause.) T. N. PARKER, Esq. then asked permission to propose the health of Mr. Kenyon, the High Steward of Oswestry — The toast was drank with 3 times 3. The Hoii. T. KFNYON, on returning thanks, said that, whether as High Steward, or as a Member of the Brunswick Club, he would do every thing in his power to assist his friends in promoting the interests of the town of Oswestry. The PRESIDENT then gave " The House of Bruns- wick, and may they never forget the Principles which seated them on the Throne of Great Britain," Song—" Here's the King and Old England for ever," by Mr. Maitland. The PRESIDENT, in proposing the next toast, begged leave'to couple it with the name of an indivi- dual belonging to the County, who, however they might regret his differing from them on a particular question, was as brave, as loyal, as devoted, and as faithful a subject as any that His Majesty could boast. Still, although they might rrgret that the noble individual to whom he referred was of a different opinion from themselves, that, noble individual had always acted consistently— and they, indeed, might, under present circumstances, without giving offence, congratulate themselves that they had escaped the reproach of insincerity and inconsistency. He con- cluded by proposing » Lord Hill and the British Army." The PRESIDENT, in submitting the toast he was about to offer, said he should include in it the name of an individual w ho had been looked up to by every man, of whatever party, with respect and esteem ; for all those who, from honourable motives, differed in o ifnion from that individual, felt that be was acting from a strong sense of duty, and that his integrity was of such an inflexible temper, that were a host of men arrayed against him, he would stand unflinching and undismayed, if he were but, satisfied that lie had right on his side. ( Chelrs.) He would propose " The Earl of Eldon, and Protestant Ascendancy.'' The toast was received with rapturous approbation, and drunk with 3 times 3, and " one cheer more." The health of the Vice- President ( Mr. Parker) was the next toast; atid it was drank with 3 times 3. Mr. PARKER, in returning thanks, said, that altho' there were differences of opinunl on the subject of associations like that, of which himself and those whom he had the honour to address were members, yet, if he wanted an assurance that lie w- as right in the course he bad adopted in continuing a Merhber of the Oswestry Brunswick Club, be Should find it ill the numbers and respectability of the company before him. They had, it was true, been forced as it were, to make a concession; and one of the harriers of the Constitution in Church and State had been prostrated: but they were not defeated— they were not crest- fallen ( Cheers)— they were not like curs, to run away w ith their tails betw een their legs ( Cheers, and laughter)— they were not of that class who thought it best to turn themselves out, for fear of being removed ( Cheers. J— No: they were, indeed, in some degree, driven back : hut they were not. to be driven out. ( Clicers. J He was so much afrSid of being re] n> rted —'(• I aUqhtcr)— that, if the Company Would allow him, he would put the remainder of what he had to say in the shape of " nonsense verses"—( Cheers, and laughter); but he would just observe, that he henrtily concurred in the course adopted as to the future proceedings of the Club, as it evinced a respect ftir the laws, and at the same time a deter- mined regard to the safety of the Constitution. ( Cheers.) Mr. Parker then, with his accustomed hilarity, favoured the company by singing a humor- ous song. The PRESIDENT then proposed the health of their good friend and neighbour, and the steady advocate of their cause— Dr. Donne.— The toast was drank with 3 times 3. Dr. DONNE returned thanks to bis townsmen and kind neighbours for the honour they had conferred upon him: he deeply deployed that a breach hail been made in the Constitution of the country ; but it was a great consolation to himself and those who held the same opinion as to the great question lately dis- posed of, that they at least were not, parties to an act of which he could not think without feelings of Unfeigned regret It had been sufipOsed by some, that Catholic Emancipation w'ould have quieted the Roman Catholics : on the contrary, however, it had been succeeded by further troubles. An Association of one description had been pat down ; but another of a frightful nature had presented itself: and by this last, Magistrates who endeavoured to preserve the peace, and Protestant Clergymen who did their duty, were picked out, and murdered The Members of the Brunswick Clubs liad done their duty : and he was assured, that in every emergency they would continue to do their duty, and like Hint excellent manj Lofd Eidon, continue firm and inflexible in their sirpport of the Constitution. For himself, be must s* av, that be felt more intensely upon the subject than he Could express;'• and without wishing to detain his friends by more lengthened observation, hevvould beg leave to propose the health of Lord Kenyon— a nobleman who had manfully and on all occasions supported the Protestant Constitution of the Country. Dr. I Innne sat down amid the cheers of the company; and the toast Was drank with 3 times 3. The Hon. TUORFIAS KENYON briefly returned thanks for the honour done to his noble relative ; and said, he should make it a point of duty, when he next saw bis lordship, to inform him of the flattering man- ner in which his health had been drank. The PR; SID: NT said, the next toast he would take the liberty of proposing was " Free and universal Toleration-;" not such toleration as would be granted if the Roman Catholics bad the upper hand; but that free toleration, and that system of civil and religious liberty,- which had been established at the Revolution, by the efforts of the good King William. ( Cheers.) It: was a subject intimately connected with those principles which it was their object to per- petuate ; and a circumstance that occurred during the trials at Cork in the preceding week, was calcu- lated to make a strong impression oil the minds of all who took an interest in ill" maintenance of Protestant toleration and Protestant penciple:— One of the witnesses ( an informer), on leaving the table at which he had been examined, was thus addressed by Mr. O'Connell —" You may go down— you're a pretty fellow— go and join your worthy companions." To which the witness replied—" We're had enough : but ' twas you and the lilies of you that made us so." Now ( said Mr. Gore) the most acute reasoner could not have given an answer. betler calculated to enforce conviction, or to carry the real state of the case more clearly to any unprejudiced mind.— The President then gave " Flee and Universal Toleration." The PRESIDENT then proposed the health of two individuals, who in these days— when brother could not answer for- brother— had stood firm and im- movable in support of the Constitution, and to whom, in his opinion, every man in Shropshire owed a debt of gratitude— he meant the two Members for the County. ( Great apy> lavse.) T he health of the Members for the County was then drank with 3 times 3. The PRESIDENT then gave " The Liberty of the Press, and may it never lose its respectability by- stooping to be . the vehicle of low scurrility, nor by becoming the organ of disaffection." Song—" The Death of Tom Moody," by Mr. Owen, of Welsh Pool. Mr. PARKER then rose, and begged that he might he allow ed to propose the health of a gentleman who, in every thing that he did, whether in a public or a private capacity, was beloved and esteemed, who, as a friend and as a neighbour, was most deservedly respected, and who, if circumstances should require thcin to call another meeting, would be their Vice- President— Mr. Aubrey. ( Cheers.•) The toast was drank with 3 times 3. Mr. AUBREY said, no one could feel more deeply than he did the very flattering manner in which his health had been introduced and drank. He would not trespass on the time of the company further than to return them bis warmest thanks, and to assure them that, as Vice- President, he should be found at his post, if the circumstances of the times should require any future public demonstration of the feel ings of himself and those with whom he had the honour to be associated.—( Applause.) Dr. DONNE observed, they had done justice to their feelings as regarded the conduct of several living public men, and in all that had been said of them lie cordially concurred ; but he hoped it would not be considered intrusive in him if he observed that as yeslerday ( the 4tli of November), King William landed at Torb'ly, and thus commenced that course of public government to which we owed those measures for the establishment of civil and religious liberty to which their excellent President had so happily re ferred; he would therefore beg to propose " The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good King William."—( Applause.) The PRI SID: NT hoped he should be pardoned for observing, that he never knew that toast drank with out 3 times 3. ( Applause.) The toast was accordingly drank with 3 times hearty cheers. Mr. Maitland then gave a most appropriate song, in his best style—" The Land ire lire in;" which was rapturously encored;. and succeeded by 3 time 3 truly British cheers. The Hon. THOMAS KEN YON requested that he might be allowed to propose the health ofa gentleman, beloved throughout the County, and indeed every where that he was known ; - a gentleman who, on the occasion of the late Public Dinner to the County Members, had done him the honour of sending a letter to him, to announce his perfect concurrence in those proceedings from which he lamented that he was unavoidably absent; and who, at the late elec- tion for the University of Oxford, had exerted himself so much and so successfully for the Protestant Cause, determined to maintain his principle against even the wishes of his nearest connexions:— he meant the Hon. A. H. Trevor. ( Cheers.) The PRVSIDENT said he was about to propose the memory of a Sovereign who, through a long reign, had been a firm supporter of the genuine principles of the Constitution, and who, if he bad been alive, would not have permitted its late spoliation : he then gave the memory of that justly beloved monarch, King George the Third ; which was drank in silence, and standing. Mr. GRIFFITH EVANS, as a native of the county of Merioneth, requested permission to give the health of Sir Robert Williames Vaughan, Bart. Dr. DONNE was very happy the health of Sir Robert had been proposed: he was one of the firm and consistent gentlemen of North Wales, who had at all times done their utmost to uphold the Protestant Constitution. The toast was then - lrank with cheers. The Memory of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York was next given from the Chair, and drank in silence. The PRESIDENT said he had much pleasure in proposing the health of the Bishop of St. Asaph, who liad always stood firm in the support of our Protestant Establishments. ( Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. LUXMOORE ( of Llanymynech) felt deeply the honour that had been done to his venera ble relative, in having his conduct approved and his principles appreciated by such a meeting as the present. His venerable relative had, indeed, stood firm a< j a Protestant Bishop ought to do, and he was confident that his venerable relative would never degrade himself by becoming basely subservient to any parties ( Cheers); but, as he had stood firm in the hour of need, so would he continue to maintain the integrity of his principles on all occasions. ( Ap- plause.) Glee, " Cambria's Holiday," by Messrs. Owen, and Mr. D. Jones, all of Welsh Pool. JOHN JO » ES, Esq. then requested that he might be allowed to propose the health of Mr. Salwev ( their worthy Vicar) and Mrs. Salwey; which was drank with 3 times 3. The VICE- PRESIDE** then gave " The Memory of the late General Despard," than whom a more loval subject nor a better man never did exist. The PRESIDENT said he could not let the last toast pass without remarking, what, he was sure, many persons present well knew, that the result of the Catholic Question pressed so heavily on the feelings of General Despard, as to tend very much to shorten the days of that venerable and respected man. Glee—" Come fill up a bumper," by Messrs. Owen, and Mr. D. Jones. The next toast given was " The Town and Trade of Oswestry." Dr. DONNE said he was glad to see that a noble family so famous for its support of the cause of civil and religious liberty at the period of the Revolution was again righting: he would therefore propose " The Marquis of Chandos, and the Brunswick Clubs of Great Britain."—( Applause.) The toast was drank with 3 times 3. Glee—" Life's a bumper," by Mr. Hughes, Mr. Maitland, and Mr. C. T. Jones. The PR SIDENT then gave the health of " The Duke of Newcastle, and of all those Noblemen who had stood firm by the Constitution in the House of Peers.* r" The PRESIDENT next gave « Sir Edward Knatch- bnll and the Men of Kent;" and observed that it was Sir Edward Knatchbull who had elicited from the Minister of the Crown the important declaration, that if he had been aware that he could have relied on the support of Sir Edward Knatchbull and others of similar standing, he should probably never have given way to the proposal for breaking in upon the Constitution.—( Cheers.) Mr. PARK ER proposed the health of " Mrs. Ormsby Gore, and the House of Porkington."— Mr. Ormsby ' Gore returned thanks in his usual happy manner. Glee—" Come arouse thee," by Messrs. Oweu, and Mr. D. Jones. JOHN JONES, Esq. then proposed the health of " Mrs. Kenyon. and the House of Prado."— Mr. Kenyon briefly returned thanks. The PRISIDENT said, he now rose with much regret to observe, that all the previous meetings of the Brunswick Clulis had broken up at a certain hour ( eight o'clock); and that hour, he was sorry to say bad arrived". The reason for separating thus early was, lie thoneht, very judicious, as thereby they completely falsified the aspersions of their opponents, who had stigmatised the assemblies of the Brunswick Clubs as " Bacchanalian orgies." Asa last toast, lie would, therefore, propose " Prosperity and stability to Public Principle; and may Public Principle steadily supported never be the means of forfeiting Private Friendship."—( A pplause.) " God save the King" was then sung, the whole company standing and joining in full chorus; after which the meeting broke up. The dinner, & c'. was highly creditable to the worthy host, Mr. Hnnt; and it would be unpardonable in us not to notice that the glees, & c. with which tile company were favoured by Messrs. Owen, and Mr. D. Jones, of Pool, were given by those gentlemen in a style that dulled forth the unqualified admiration of all who had the pleasure of being present. MR. EDITOR,— Should you, in your pleasing capacity of caterer for the public mind, conceive that the accompanying rhymes ( the casual amuse- ments of earlier days) may contribute to its diver- sion, they are at your service. 1 am, Sir, Respectfully your's, To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. VACANT FELLOWSHIP.— There is a fellowship vacant on the original foundation of Brasennose College, Oxford, which will shortly be filled up in rather a peculiar manner. The first class of can- didates will consist of natives of the parish of Prescot in Lancashire, and Prestbury in Cheshire; the second, of natives of such parts of Lancashire and Cheshire, as were formerly within the ancient diocese of Lichfield and Coventry ; the third, of natives of all parts of that diocese; the fourth, of the old diocese of Lincoln; and the fifth, of the members of the University at large. The natives of Prescot and Prestbury w ill have the first chance, but if none of them should obtain it, the natives of the parts of Lancashire and Cheshire mentioned above will have the second, and so on through the different classes enumerated. All the candidates must have taken the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and mast not be of less than eight years' standing. In pursuance of the system of economy, says I Glasgow Paper, enforced by the Duke of Wellington, the Scottish and Irish Boards of Excise have received circulars from the Lords of the Treasury, announcing that these Boards are to be entirely dispensed with, and directing the accounts to be wound up as soon as possible. The Excise and Customs department in Scotland will then correspond directly with the board in London. The Scottish Excise Officers are much pleased with the change. The measure will effect a saving of about £ 60,000 a- year. DISAPPEARANCE OF A MOUNTAIN— Sometime since an extraordinary event happened in the environs of Aubenas, in the south of France. A loud report was heard during five or six minutes, to the extent of Six miles round, the inhabitants knew not the cause ; when a very high mountain, Girbier de jouc, at the foot of which springs the Loire, disappeared and presented nothing but a lake. This mountain was high, and it was difficult to reach the top, at the extremity of which there was a fountain. The com- motion was so strong that it produced an earthquake for a space of five leagues in circumference. DARING COACH ROBBERY'.— On Tuesday even- ing, the " Bruce" coach, on its way from London, and when between Northampton and Leicester, was robbed of considerable property by a gang of thieves, who are strongly suspected to have been for some time lurking on this line of road with a cart and horse. The guard, on the coach arriving at North- ampton, took out a pared, and afterwards made the hind boot perfectly secure; on their arrival in Leices- ter, it was found that the boot had been broken open, and several parcels of ' value taken therefrom. No doubt, from the information given, the parties will soon be secured. AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.— On Thursday morn- ing last, about three o'clock, the keepersand watchers on the estate of Sir George Armytage, Bart, of Kirk- lees- park, fell in with a desperate gang of poachers, about eight in number, several of whom had fire- arms. The watchers and their men were about equal as to numerical strength, but, not thinking it prudent to commence an indiscriminate attack, followed the marauders for some time, with the intention of taking a division of their force. The poachers, however, were on the alert, and kept in a compact body, marching in that position off the ground. A short distance from Hartshcad church, however, the parties came in collision, and a desperate affray was the consequence. The keepers' dogs seized one or two of the men, but their lives paid the forfeit of their temerity, two of them being shot dead upon the spot. The conflict then became warm, and the bludgeons of the keepers were handled so freely as to disperse their opponents, all of whom effected their escape, except Jacob Mitchell, of North Bierly, who was so seriously injnred as to be incapable of flight or resistance. His head was dreadfully cut, his arm was rendered powerless by a blow, and his body was lacerated in various parts by the keepers' dog. In that state he was captured, and conveyed in a cart to Halifax the next day, and given in charge to the deputy constable, in whose house he is now confined, until sufficiently recovered to undergo an examination before the magistrates— Leeds Intelligencer. ROWLAND STEPHK. NSO*.— In July last, the noto- rious Rowland Stephenson was in treaty for a fine chateau, situated near to Bristol, Pennsylvania. The elebrated Joseph Bonaparte, who is universally re- ipeeted, has pitched his tent on the opposite bank of tlie Delaware, and thus the ex- King of Spain and the ex- London banker seem destined to become neigh- hours — we do not by any means say friends.—• Dum- fries Courier.

On the nights of Wednesday and Thursday three persons were fired at in the ne ighbourhood of Tem- plemore, and dangerously wounded. The house of a respectable farmer, near Cloughjordan, was attacked by a party of insurgents on Thursday night, and his arms taken. The unfortunate man defended his house for a considerable period, and did not give up his arms until his skull was fractured, and his wife dreadfully wounded. The magistrates of the counties of Sligo and Roscommon assembled at Boyle on Monday. It was the unanimous opinion of the meet- ing that the revival of the Insurrection Act was ab- solutely necessary to render life and property secure. — Dublin Paper. OBTAINING GOODS ON CREDIT.— Messrs. Fer- guson and Martin, the wholesale riband manufac- turers, of Wood- street, Cheapside, who were the pro- secutors in the ease of the King v. Carringtou and Beaumont, tried in the Court of King's Bench on Tuesday, lately brought their action agaSKst Caxring- ton to recover the value of the goods (£ 586) which lie had obtained from them on credit, and by false representations, as it was alleged. Messrs. Ferguson and Co. had discovered that the goods, instead of being retailed in the ordinary course of business, were sold in bulk, as soon as received from their warehouse, ut about half the cost price. This was done for the purpose of raising money. Messrs. Fer- guson and Co. were non- suited on the trial, on an objection taken to the form of the action ; but the Court, on a motion for a new trial, incidentally inti- mated an opinion which it may be Useful to make generally known, viz.: that where goods are obtained ur. dtr false pretences, the contract is altogether void ; and those who obtain the goods, as well as ail subsequent purchasers, can claim no piopertu in them. HORSE STEALING. In consequence of an examination which took place on Monday, before the Mayor and two other Magistrates of Hereford, this description of robbery ( says the Hereford Journal) is likely to be put a stop to, for a time at least. Edmund Marsden alias Edmund John Marsden Beaumont, and Reece Morris alias Reece Williams, were taken up under the following circumstances:— On Sunday night, the 25th of October last, about ten o'clock, they took two horses to the Red Lion Inn, Hereford, and after . remaining till about four o'clock on Monday morning, they took them away towards LedbHry. On Wednesday last, the prisoners again returned to the Red Lioii, with a dark bay gelding, which was put in the stable. Upon Marsden's going into the kitchen he was recognized ( by a person named Jones) as the man who had disposed of a stolen horse, in September last, in the town of Abergavenny, and Marsden also immediately dis covered that Jones knew him, and abruptly left the house, but Reece Morris, who went out direitly after Marsdeu, returned and slept at the Red Lion. Marsden slept at the Hop- pole, without Bye- street Gate, where Morris went to call him up at break of day on Thursday morning. However, upon Jones communicatint; his suspicions to Mr. Carpen- ter, the landlord of the Red Lion, lie took prompt measures to detain Morris and the horse, which was done, and Morris kept in close custody on Thurs day. About four o'clock on that day, the ostler from the Hop- pole came to the Red Lion, and in- quired " What time the Welshman had taken away the gentleman's horse, who had sent him to inquire," but upon seeing Mr. Howells, the sword bearer, in the bar, he made off, for the evident purpose of giving information of danger. Mr. Howells in stantly told Garstone not to lose sigrht of the ostler, and started for the Hop- pole. The ostler went off at full speed, followed by Garstone, and reached the Hop- pole time enough to give the gentleman notice the officers were coming, and upon their arrival he was denied by the landlady ; but the sword- bearer being determined to search the house, placed Garstoue and others at the back and front, went tip stairs, and in a dark lumber room ut the top of the house, under the roof or tiles, the door of which Was hasped outside, he found Marsden fastened in. After some little resistance he was secured, and on searching him they found a pocket- book, containing a complete diary of where be bail been for the last two months, which enabled the sword- bearer to write to different parts of Wales, giving: a description of him, his name, and the horse. The horse is a dark- brown, of the Regains breed, about 15 hands high, a star in the forehead, with a white blaze down the nose, saddle- marked, two fore legs black, the off hind leg black, and the fet- lock of the near hind leg white. He is still in the care of the landlord at the Red Lion. On Monday last two persons arrived at Hereford from Swansea, one from Abergavenny, four from and in the neigh- bourhood of Llandovery, and one from Malvern, iu consequence of Ihesword- bearer'scomniunications; and two more, Messrs. Mander and Weaver, are expected from Wolverhampton. Marsden's guilt respecting the horse sold by him in Abergavenny, in September, was clearly proved by respectable witnesses, and during the examination a letter was received from the magistrates of Carmarthen, stating that a warrant had been issued against Morris for horse- stealing, in that county. During the ex- amination on [ Monday part of the gang were hover- ing about the court— EIGHT of them are well known to the officers. It appears that an organized and regular system of horse- stealing is pursued iu Here- fordshire and the neighbouring counties, and is as follows:— One of the gang repairs to the neighbour- hood of Swansea, Merthyr, Abergavenny, Car- marthen, Llandovery, & c. & c. and steals one or more horses, as opportunities may offer, and brings thein into the neighbourhood of Hereford, or to Ledbury, Upton, Iron Acton, Pershore, & c. where others of the gang reside, or meet them there with stolen horses from a distant part of the country. The Welsh horses are exchanged or swept, as it is technically termed, for others, care being taken that someone be present who can prove the bar- gain, the suopt horses are then taken into the neighbourhood from whence the other horses had been stolen, and there disposed of without fear of detection. The expenses of Capt. Dickenson amounted to £ 12( 10, of which sum the Admiralty pay about £' S00, thus leaving him loser of a serious sum, although triumphantly acquitted. This is so mani- festly unjust, that we cannot but think means will be found, by giving- him a ship or otherwise, to compensate Capt. Dickenson for the costs he has incurred.— Brighton Gazette. The new Hoilse of Correction and other buildings attached to it, lately erected in Surrey, cost £ 2- 2,000. We read a great deal about the improvement in trade, but we are very apprehensive that the im- provement is principally confined to the columns of fhe newspapers, for all the manufacturers and merchants with whom we have had an opportunity of conversing— and those are not few— assert that, with the exception of a trifling demand for winter goods, business is as bad as it well can be. Indeed we can not see how this can be otherwise. Every thing is declining in price, and consequently the consumers* means of purchasing goods are constantly decreasing, while the taxes remain the same, and the poor- rates are daily increasing We have often alluded to the distress of the farmers, who, notwithstanding the crops have partially failed for the last two years, have, nevertheless, to contend with a falling market. This state of tilings can only arise from an increased value of money, and can only be remedied by a repeal of taxes or by a depreciation of the currency. While, however, this depression of the agricultural interest continues, we cannot expect any permanent improvement in trade, the people who derive their immediate support from the cultivation of fhe soil being the great consumers of manufactured goods. A great outcry has been raised against the corn laws, which would certainly be the most unjust that ever were framed if this nation had not to pay nearly 30 millions a- year as interest of the debt. As long as this debt exists it should be the policy of the govern- ment to protect, by high duties or prohibitory laws, the English manufacturers and the English farmers. To admit foreigners into a competition with us, under existing circumstances, is just as absurd as it would be for a shopkeeper to set up an opponent next door to him who had the means of underselling him to the amount of 30 per cent.— Morning Herald. A cluster of five swan's- egg pears was last week gathered from a tree in the garden of Mr. John Sharp, at Lancing, Sussex ; they grew on one strig, o - stalk, and weighed 28 ounces; seven otheisfroni the same tree weighed 30 ounces. EXPORTATION OF HORSIS During the last month very few thorough bred horses have been sent abroad, but we regret to learn that many others have. At Horncastle fair no less than three hundred were bought by three foreign dealers, most of which were mares. This must very much hurt the breed of riding horses in England, more especially those used for the cavalry. Our farmers being tempted to sell their three- year old fillies to these dealers ( who never buy the worst, or one with either splint, spavin, or curb), they must either breed from the, blemished ones, or, tempted from the low price they fetch, buy the mares which are imported from Germany, the Netherlands, & c. and breed from them, which are really too bad for our hackney coaches. Mares should not be allowed to be exported, except on paying a heavy duty, or in a few years our breed will be very much injured. If the government do not put a stop, or in some way check the exportation of mares, should a war break out, in a few years, the cavalry cannot be mounted, except at a great advance in the government allowance.— Sporting Magazine. GRASS SEED.— At a meeting of the Manchester Agricultural Society last week, on the discussion of the question, what are the best sorts of grass seeds to be sown for laying down for permanent pasture, George Webb Hall, Esq. said that the best course in laying down for permanent pasture was, to ascertain what grasses were congenial to the soil, for those would be most likely to produce a good and perma- nent sward. For this purpose there was no better plan than to take a portion of the grass of an adjoin- ing meadow, allow it to bring its seed to perfection, then thrash them out, and apply those seeds to the soil. Though the grasses which were foreign to the soil might, in the first instance, make a very flattering appearance, yet they would soon dwindle away, and be supplanted by those which were most congenial to it; so that no permanent benefit could be derived from them. In this manner, it was well known red clover always died away, and gave place to other grasses. Amongst the grasses which, were ordinarily found in the fields, he thought rough cocksfoot was a very valuable one, as it produced iargely and sprung readily after the scythe. In some districts, and in a rich alluvial soil, very good pastures were obtained without any seed at all. It was only necessary to clean the land and leave if, when it was found that the grasses most, congenial to the soil would imme- diately spring up in it, and keep possession of it. How they come there— whether they were floating in the air, or previously existing in the soil— he could not undertake to say, but the result was as he had stated it. , CAUTION TO INNKEF. PIRS.— An appeal, which excited considerable interest, and which occupied the Court the greater part of the day on Thursday, came on at the Wilts Quarter Sessions last week. It appeared that some time during the last summer, a young woman named Sylvia Gibbon, was most in- decently and grossly assaulted, and afterwards robbed, at a public- house, kept hy Mr. Paul Wiltshire, in Chippenham. On the ground of this outrage, the Magistrates ( Mr. Clutterbuck and" Sir. Awdry,) re- fused, at their last licensing day, to renew Mr. Wilt- shire's licence. Mr. Wiltshire therefore appealed to the Quarter Sessions. Mr. Smith and Mr. Everett were for the appellant; on w hose behalf a testimonial was put in, signed by several of the most respectable inhabitants of Chippenham. It was also proved hy oral testimony, that he was a man of good character, and kept a regular and a good house. Mr Bingham and Mr. I. YV. Awdry, for the Magistrates, would admit, most fully admit the appellant to be every- thing his counsel wished, as regards character; and further that he could not have prevented the assault complained of taking place; but the only question was, whether, after being made acquainted with the outrage, lie took those active steps, which, as the land- lord of the house, it was his duty to take, to bring the accused party to punishment. They contended that he had neglected to do this, and that it was a suffi cient ground to refuse him a victualler's licence, as he was an, improper person to keep a public- house.— Wit- nesses for and against the appellant were examined; and after a short conference, the Court decided against the appellant; confirming the decision of the Magis- trates. MINIRALOCICAL CURIOSITY.— Wre have now lying in our office a piece of Scots coal, belonging to Mr. Forsyth, baker, six inches in length and four in breadth, the surface of which is entirely studded with most beautiful figures, quite Small, somewhat resem- bling the leaves of an ash tree. The number of figures may extend to about 200, all placcd on the coal with the utmost regularity. One feels surprised how nature could, in. such a case, operate with such wonderful, we had almost said mathematical precision, and yet the curiosity in question could not by possi- bility have been the work of art. Were it not that coal is a substance insusceptible of impression, we would have concluded that this beautiful configura- tion must have been produced by some carefully carved wooden or other mould— Elgin Courier. A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.—( if true!) — In the archives of Basle there is a prophecy by a hermit, Martin Zaduk, who died in 1769 at Solothurn, which says—" In Germany very hard times will arrive, all trading and trucking will be destroyed, and the want of money become general The weather will also change and be quite different to what it used to be. The Turk will in a short time lose all his land in Asia and Africa. Constantinople, the capital of the Turk- ish empire, shall be in danger of being taken without drawing a sword. All Persia, as well as the great Mogul and the Moors, shall embrace the Christian religion. A great monarch in Europe shall bring al- most the whole of Asia under his sceptre, locks and doors will be opened to him every where, and no hostile powers shall be able to hinder his victorious arms. Jerusalem shall be taken, and the Saracens entirely annihilated. At Jerusalem, near a Turkish mosque, in a certain place, and at sunrise, a new well shall be sunk, and in so doing a four- square stone shall be found, under which a large vault will be dis- covered, which contains the treasures uf King Solo- mon- It will amount to eighteen thousand millions of ducats, and the costly jewels and objects of anti quity shall be beyond all calculation. When Con stantinople shall be conquered, in an- old Greek pa- lace detached, in clearing a cellar, a flat white marble stone shall he found, whereon a cross with the name " Sophia Imperatrix" is engraved. Under this stone a large silver box- case shall be found, in which are deposited gold and precious stones to the amount of fifty millions of dollars."— Nuremberg Gazette. There never were so many houses to be let in all parts of London as at this time. CAUTION TO INFORMERS.— In the year 1828* this town was visited by certain gentlemen called informers, who levied contributions upon his Majesty's' liege subjects, w hen they were found offending againsi any of those Acts of Parliament which granted it portion of the penalty to the respectable and public' spirited individuals who gave information against parties incurring pains and penalties under the said acts One of these worthies aforesaid, named Wirn Stringle, well known at the Public Offices in London* lodged certain informations against Thomas Evans, a coachman of this town, for sundry offences done and committed by him against the Stage Coach Act, 50 Geo. HI cap. 48; but instead of' Mr. W. Stringle taking the case before the Magistrates for decision, he took the power of the magisterial office upon himself, and compromised the affair with Evans for fire pounds. Whereupon some gentlemen connected with coaches in this part of the country, with due regard to the ler in lion is, lodged an information against the said Mr. W. Stringle, who was forthwith summoned before the Justices of the district; but having ascertained what was going on, he made his pro- vidential escape before he was served with a notice. The case, however, caine to a hearing in his absence, and he was fined £ 50 for the offence, under the following clause of the act:— " And be it further enacted, that if any person or " persons shall receive a ny sum or sums of money for " conniving at any offence prohibited by this Act, " eitherfor any single offence or for a number of " such offences, or by stipulation or agreement by " the day, the week, the year or any other period of " time, and shall be duly convicted thereof before one " or more Justices, or before any other Magistrate " above mentioned, he, she, or they shall forfeit the " sum of fifty pounds for each offence, and in " default of the payment thereof shall be committed " to any house of correction for any period not " exceeding three months nor less than one month." All this parade, however, seemed to be of little account, as Mr. W. Stringle was not, to be found, and so the matter rested until a few days since, when he was apprehended under a warrant in London, and brought ( after a lapse of three years) before our Magistrates in Cheltenham, for the purpose of paying the said fine of fifty pounds, which, being unable to do, he was committed to Northleach prison for one month!— Cheltenham Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCT.— The year before last, Mr. Taylor, of Preston, planted, by way of trial, two potatoes, which did not weigh together more than three ounces, and they produced eight pounds. These eight pounds were again committed to the earth, and they have this year yielded the extraor- dinary product of fire bushels, of 70 pounds to the bushel.' TURNIPS.— Last Week, an amazingly large turnip, of the common green- top sort, was gathered from a field belonging to Mr. John Glover, of Asfordby, near Melton Mowbray ; it measured three feet eight inches in circumference, and weighed twenty- six pounds avoirdUpoise. Mr. Greaves, a joiner, of Bingham, has this season pulled from a small freehold of his, a turnip of the weight of 231bs. and being in circumference two feet 10 j inches. There is an old homely English Proverb, which says, " The nearer the Church, the further from God," and we may add with equal truth, " Tlie nearer the Judge, the bolder the thief," since whilst our worthy Recorder was congratulating the Gentle- men of the Grand Jury, on the diminution of burglaries as well as of offences generally, in this jurisdiction, the " gentle craft" were sedulously experimentalizing on the pockets of the unwary, in the body of the Hall— two gentlemen have since assured us that they lost their silk handkerchiefs during the very time the Recorder was delivering his charge— and hut a very few hours afterwards the premises in Broad- street, situated within a few feet of the Guildhall, were broken into, and 18 hats, together with other property, abstracted therefrom.— Bristol Journal. CIGAR SMOKING.— The following is the opinion of Professor Watcrhouse, of the American I tViversity of Cambridge, ill New England, on this subject. It is extracted from a lecture delivered to the students, dissuading them from the practice :—" T have been a Professor in this University 23 years, and can say, as a physician, that I never observed so many pallid faces, and so many marks of declining health, nor ever knew so many hectical habits and consumptive affections, as of late years; and I trace this alarming inroad on your young constitutions principally to tli « pernicious custom of smoking- cigars." MUTABILITY OF FORTUNE.— On Tuesday, an elderly woman, apparently in the deepest ' distress, applied to Lambeth- street office for an order of admission to Whitechapel workhouse. She stated that she was a descendant of Archbishop Usher's family, had been brought up in aftluencc, had kept her carriage, and a suitable establishment; but from misfortune which she could not have foreseen or prevented, was reduced to' her present deplorable state. She had gained a settlement in that parish by sixteen years' residence.—- The magistrates said they had received the letter she had addressed to them, which shewed that she had received an excellent education, and had satisfied them of the validity of her claim, and made the order accordingly.— The applicant expressed her gratitude, hnd retired. Our Knaresborough correspondent gives the follow, ing particulars of one of those dreadful and fatal events which the present system of the game laws renders of too frequent occurrence :—" I have to communicate one of the most sanguine and ferocious attacks in the preservation of game ( taking all the circumstances into consideration) that 1 ever recollect seeing recorded. On the night of Saturday- last, the keepers of Sir W. A. lngilbys in going their rounds in the preserves near Ripley, discovered three men, whom they suspected of being poachers, and im- mediately pursued them ; the men succeeded in gaining the high road, and being totally Unarmed, without even a stick in their bands, they suffered the keepers to approach thein ; one of the young men, of the name of Holmes, was immediately attacked by one of the keepers, but he succeeded in laying hold of the instrument presented, resembling the head of a halbert, about nine inches in length, attached to a pole from five to six feet in length ; at that moment, and during the struggle between the parties, a second keeper struck Hie young man with a similar instru- ment in the lower part of the belly with sncli violence as to penetrate to the back bone, consequently his bowels protruded, and he expired on Monday morn- ing about five o'clock. A coroner's inquest was held on the body on Monday, and a verdict of < Wilful Murder' was the result. The keepers were com- mitted to York Castle on Tuesday, tke 27th. The other two men, of the names of Motley ( brothers) were very seriously wounded by the keepers, but hopes are entertained of their recovery. It is due to the worthy Baronet to say that he had not the most remote knowledge of his servants thus employed having or carrying such deadly weapons:— Leeds Mercury. n^ NKfturtS, Nov, 3 — William Collins Parslow, of Exmoiith str. et, Clei- kenwell, rheeseininiijjer.— Wni, Mothersole, sen. of Park, plaee, Regent's- park, livery- stable. keeprr.— lohrt Slonian, of Maidstone, iiuii* « - r- nieiehant. — Charles Smith, of Old City- Muinihers, Bishopsgate. street, wine- merchant.— Alexa nler Mack- intosh, of Conduit- street, merchant. — Ut- oige Cowie and William Strange, of t* iiteinoster- row, booksellers. — William Aiinfield Hobday, of Pull ntall, picture- dealer.— Thomas Lambert, ' of New Rond- slrt- el, up- ' hulsleref.—- Robert Izznrd, of Gun- alley, While's- gronndt, Bcrii'fnndsev, lea'tli'ef- dresser.— Chirrles Peier Whitaker, of Waleot plaee, Lambeth, wilie- inerchunt, — John He- ile, of Winchester, draper. — Geo.
