The Number of its Pages is now extended to 72; and by Skill in Condensation, aided by close and elegant Priming, the Editors hnve been enabled to compress wilhin its Dimensions n Quantity of Matter far greater than could naturally be expected in n Work of the same Si2e. Amongst the Improvements introduced into the Calendar Department will be found, for the first Time in au English Almanack, Ihe Periods of the illoon's rising and setting for each Day. One of the most interesting Novelties, however, contained in the ENGLISHMAn'S ALMANACK, is the Series of In. struclions for. the Treatment of Persons apparently dead from Drowning or other Causes, or who have taken any of the known Poisons. This is n 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, ahove all, the Facili- ties for procuring Poison are so strangely abundant. The Lisr of the House of Peers has been arranged upon Ihe novel Plan of adding the Date of his Birth, and Description of his Crest, to the Name of each Noble- man, so as to form, in a great Measure^ n ready Sub stilute for the expensive Works on the Peerage. The List of the House of Commons is followed by the far more convenient one of all the Places 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 o. f the Englishman's Almnnnck have com bincd with a copious Register of such necessary In- formation, iltusttalice Details, which will he 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 Slate, together with the Expenses of the chief Slate Establishments, Civil, Judicial, Military, Naval, & c Under the Head of Police are given the JStreets of the Metropolis over which the different Offices have Juris- diction respectively, whereby vast Trouble and In convenience may be saved to Numbers of iis Inhabit, ants. The Post Office Arrangements, and the Day. of Transfer at the Public Offices, are presented in n novel and convenient Manner for Reference. The Intelligence respecting the leading Institutions throughout the Country connected with Education, is more minute than can be found in any other Alma- nack :— the Exhibitions to the Universities by most Schools and by the London Companies are set forth and ibis Department is completed by ample luforma lion for Persons desirous of unbracing the Legal <> Medical Professions. The Utility of the numerous Lists comprehended under Commerce is considerably enhanced b; those of ihe States with which England has concluded Treaties of Reciprocity, and of the Warehousing Ports of the British Islands. The Table of Stamp Duties and Assessed ' Paxes, and Ihe Regu- lations for the various Modes of Conveyance in Loudon are given in a considerably enlarged Form. Considering the Multiplicity nf important Matters which pressed for a Share of their Pages, the Editors of Ihe Englishman's Almanack confess that they have not bad Space for any of those sagacious Axioms an pregnant Brevities which are sometimes lo he fouu in Almanacks, to Ihe Exclusion, as tliey think, o what is infinitely mnre appropriate. Entirely nloo: from nil fnctious Sympathies, either iu Politics or Literature, the Editors profess only In offer lo Ihe Publico Work which, whilst it affords Assistance lo those engaged in the practical Business of Life, lends also lo promote a universal Disposition to mutual Kindness, iu diffusing a Knowledge of the Means by which oftentimes that Disposition may be besl carried into Effect.

The cloth manufacturers of Aix- la- Chapelle and Verviers are supplied with wool from Saxony. It is conveyed by land carriage entirely, in narrow four- wheeled waggons, with six horses of an excellent cart breed yoked in pUire. The manufacturers complain much that the English carry off the prime qualities. The wool is not well assorted in Saxony, but under- goes a careful division of tlie different qualities on a fleece, at Aix, by the great wool- merchants. Saxony has long proved that Spain had no peculiar claim to rearing the finest wool- bearing sheep. Stlrton wool is of finer quality than Spanish. This has arisen from different causes,— first, a careful selection of tlitf animals that carried the finest fleeces; secondly, a constant attention to protect the flocks against sudden fchahgess in the weather, particularly . vlUlent coldf Mins, and snow ; thirdly, to keep { lie jlifeep on drjr sound soil, not too rich in grass. Our Merino breeders formerly ( for now there are scarcely half a dozen ill Britain) spared no expense in selecting the best breed, but neglected entirely protection to the flock in bail weather, and the quality of pasture The breed iit Spain is an upland, not a mountainous race j but the English breeders considered good feed essential, and placed their fldeks in rich meadow land or old pas- ture grass of under- stocked park. The Merinos were seized with foot rot, and the breed acquired the bail reputation of being particularly subject to this com- plaint. From experience of a flock of my own, kept on hard dry pasture, I can aver 1 never saw an in- stance of foot rot; Then the English breeders made no establishment for protecting the flock in bad weather, and had a strong prejudice against housing a sheep in any circumstances. The Saxons have for each flock on a farm, and often in every large en- closure, a regularly built range of sheep- sheds, or covered- in low houses, with yards enclosed. Those of different ages and kinds are kept separate, and the houses and sheds are as nicely cleaned and dressed up as the stables of an English sportsman. The sheep are never suffered to he exposed to showers of long continuance, nor to sudden cold after moderate weather, nor to show. One heavy cold shower after vfrarm weather will most iriaterially injure tile fleece; for the fine fibre at the root, after the chill of the animal, becomes exactly at that part of a weaker texture; and the woolstapler can directly detect the fault. I am decidedly of opinion that the farmer who has dry healthy sheltered pasture cannot turn it to better account than by devoting it to Merino sheep managed on the Saxon plan. The climate in Saxony, for five months in the year, is not to be compared to that of England. We have another prejudice about Merino sheep, that the mut- tori is detestable. A Scotchman of the old breed thinks the Bakewell sheep not fit for a Christian to eat. Yet I have in Belgium eaten Merino mutton little inferior to real Highland. It is not improbable that our farmers will soon open their eyes to the profit that may be more surely derived from a Merino flock, well managed, than from any other breed we possess. Whether the flocks of Botany Bay are to overstock the world with Merino wool, may deserve consideration. Mr. Alalthus has endeavoured to prove that population outruns the food that human industry can raise; but it did not enter into bis views to estimate whether the fertility of the earth, in its produce of certain luxuries for food and dress, might not outrun the consumption ; yet so it is, that the quantity produced of sugar, cotton, pepper, indigo, flax, and hemp, far exceeds at present the demand. Thus it may be with fine wool; yet the pleasure or vanity of wearing what Master Sty calls " soft things— and like a lord," is increasing rapidly. — Spectator. A NEW ALMANACK. This Day is published, price Is. 6d. stitched, " g^ HE TRADESMAN'S AND ME- 1- CHANIC'S ALMANACK, for the Use of Per. sous employed in TRADE and Ihe MECHANICAL ARTS for Ihe Year 1830. The decided Success with which the Englishman's Almanack has been honoured on its first Production in 1829, has induced ihe Company of Stationers to prepare au entirely New Almanack for Ihe Year 1830, Ihe 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 lo those who hnve watched the active Progiess of general Society in recent Years. They must liuve perceived that from various Quarters a Stimulus bus been communicated to the Minds of that comprehensive Class of our Countrymen, the Memheis of which were formerly ^ r^ lVojl! 6'^ I 10 ga'" Distinction merely by their Hands, V ,;' ,',, • , — until at last the Trading and Working Population ot iioait ttirougn | |) nB Ue(> n reilred int0 a Uo(]? | lol |() |) e exc(.

The Company of Stationers then, in offering to Ihe Trading and Mechanical Portions of Society an Almanack intended immediately for their Service and Convenience, are only aciing upon ihe Principle which has uniformly guided litem 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- nack, the Tradesman's and Mechanic's will contain a Table of Comparison, shewing the Value of most Denominations of Foreign Coin, in English Money— Lists of Public Functionaries, Slate Offices, Com- mercial Establishments, & c.— Incorporated Trading Companies, with their Halls and Times of Meeting- National Repository— Law and Public Offices— Tables of Slamp Duties and Assessed Taxes, wnli ihe Penal- ties under the Stamp Act— Tables of ltrerest and Computations for Investing Money — Courts for the Recovery of Small Debts, with all necessary Details concerning them— Explanatiuus of the Laws relating lo Savings Banks and Friendly Societies, whereby the comparative Adyantng. es of depositing Money in the one, and of becoming n Member of ihe other, ure explained— Copious Accounts of ihe Means of pro. curing the Admission of Children to Foundation Schools, and other Particulars of various Places of Education— The Regulations of Apothecaries' Hall- Prizes offered by the Society of Ails for 1830— Forms of various Documents, Bills, Memorandums, nod Wills— 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— Stale of Trade— Consumption — Manufactures— Crime, & c.— Exports Taxation— Tax on Literature — Public Libraries- Waste Land, and Instructions for Emigrants lo the Swan River, & c. forming altogether a Body of appro, priate Information for the Trading and Mechanical Classes, such as never was presented to them iu the same Compass.

WOOD Mr. TAUNTON moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict in this case should not be jet aside, and a new trial granted. The action was tried at the last Assizes for Shrewsbury, before Mr. Sergeant Taddy, and a Verdict returned for the defendant. The ques- tion was, whether the city of Chester, from time im- memorial, had been and was parcel of the County Palatiue of Chester, and within the jurisdiction of the Court of Great Sessions of the said County Palatine. The declaration alleged that the Court of Session had proceeded to try a quo warranto information, touch- ing a corporate office, and the traverse was, that the said usurpation of ottice was committed out of the jurisdiction of the Court of Session, and this depended on the prior question, whether the city of Chester was part of the County Palatine. The verdict was in favour of the jurisdiction, and he now moved on the ground of the reception of evidence which ought to have been rejected, and also on the ground of the rejection of evidence which ought to have been re- ceived. The evidence received was a dccrce of the Court of Exchequer in the 4th year of Elizabeth, declaring the city to be, from time immemorial, par- cel and member of the County Palatine of Chester. The reception of this evidence was objected to on the ground of its having no one characteristic of a judicial proceeding, for no one bill or answer had been pro duced, in consequence of which such a decree might have gone forth. The evidence rejected, and which ought to have been received, was a document bearing date the 5th Edw. 111. being a Writ of Prohibition to the Chief Justice of Session of Chester, commanding him to surcease in atrial then before him. This do- cument was found in an ancient corporation book, into which copies had been made of all such documents relative to the city as hail been defaced or obliterated by time. It was said, that if the rolls hud been pro- perly searched, the document itself ought to have been found. The Learned Judge thought the search of the rolls was not so complete as it ought to have been, and therefore rejected the evidence. The rolls of the 4th and 5th and also the 5th and 6th Edw. HI. were searched; but the Learned Judgesaid thatthere might lie a roll of the 5th alone, and therefore refused to receive the evidence. He ( Mr. T.) admitted, that if the roll of the 5th Edw. 111. had been found, it would have been a good cause for the rejection of the evidence, but none being found, it was too much to presume the existence of such a roll. The Court granted a rule to shew cause. Both points were well deserving of consideration. USE OF SPIRITOUS LIQUORS.— At the Middlesex Sessions, last week, a Magistrate drew the attention of the Court to the resolutions respecting the use of spiritous liquors, to which resolutions the Magistrates bad unanimously assented, as framed in the spirit of and iu accordance with several Acts of Parliament. Those resolutions declared it lo be highly expedient to discourage by every means in their power the immoderate use of spiritous liquors among the lower classes of the metropolis; and he thought it highly expedient that they should now be read, printed, and circulated, in order that the. Magistracy might come with their minds properly prepared to the approach- ing licensing in March next. These resolutions par- ticularly deprecated the extension of the licenses of those who took out one for beer merely as a blind to their demoralizing trade of a gin shop; and it was to the alarming and ruinous increase of these that he wished particularly to direct the attention of the Bench. NATIONAL CHARACTER.—' To sum up this view of English, Scottish, and Irish character, I may observe, that sincerity and independence distinguish the English; intelligence and sagacity the Scottish; and a gay and gallant spirit the Irish. The best qualities, however, are apt to associate with bad ones. The in- dependence of the English sometimes degenerates into coarseness and brutality ; the sagacity of the Scot- tish into cunning and time- serving ; and the gaiety or the Irish into fickleness and unfaithfulness. Could we combine the independence of the English with the sagacity of the Scottish, and with the gallantry of the Irish, we should almost form a god. Could we, on the contrary, unite the brutality of the ti « > t with the cunning of the second, and with the faith lessness of the third, we should form a demoa.—- Blackwood's Magazine for November. ottrtiA JGM 1-| T L !>!•— I II AM U SALOPIAN JOURNAL, AM © COURIER OF WALE^.

Bill' 75 Cons, for Acc. 91| Visiting Clergyman this week at tile Infirmary, the Aiditional Subscription and Donations to the Sick The German Papers received yesterday contain a tommunication, purporting to be official, from Prince Demetrius Ypsilanti to the President of Greece, dated irom the Camp of Koturiiala, September 28, to the eHofriffg effect:— " A Turkish corps of 7,000 men, regular and irregular troops, had made, subsequently to the 22d of September, several desperate attacks on the Prince's troops, in their fortified camp, near the fort Castello di Pitra ; but were always repulsed with considerable loss. The Greeks pursued the enemy in their flight, which they made in great disorder; the Turkish commanders collected the garrisons which they still had in LiVadia, and at length a Treaty was agreetl npon, by which their commanders, Azak Aga and A- win Bey, engaged to retire to Thessaly, and entirely to evacuate Livadia " The Egiria Gazette contains the Treaty, and adds, that had it not been concluded, all the Turks must have perished either by the sword of the Greeks or by famine. To evacuate Livadia implies a retreat from Bceotia, Phocis, Locris, and other northern districts of ancient Greece, leaving the present Greek Government in possession of almost all tfie territory to which it has advanced a claim on the ground either of physical Harriers or of kindred language and customs.

It is an extraordinary fact, and is a proof of the salubrity of the air in that part of this county, that since the 4th of Aprji last until the 17th instant, not a single interment of a parishioner has taken place at Llanymytiech, though the number of inhabitants at the last census was nearly a thousand. The person buried yesterday was upwards of 80 years old. In our Fair, on Tuesday and Wednesday last, the supply of Sheep was but moderate, and fat ones sold nt from fid. to 63d. per lb.— The supply of Pigs was not so great as at the preceding Fair, and fat ones sold at from 3' d. to 4jd per lb.—' The number of Cattle brQUght for sale was likewise smaller, and the sale was consequently somewhat more brisk, though prime beef averaged but ahont 5d. per 111.— Best Cheese sold at from 38s. to 45s. prr cu t. and inferior according to its quality.— Butter in tubs 7?, d. to 8d. and in lumps 7d. per lb.— Baron 6< 1. and Hams 7jd. per lb. At Ellesmerc Fair, on Fritlay antl Saturday last, there was a good supply of Cattle, Sheep, and Pigs. Cows in- calf, and eovvs and Calves, sold better than was expected, but all other sorts were dull of sale, and much stock was taken home unsold.— Fat Cattle averaged 4jd. per lb.; Sheep were very low in price; and Pigs not more than ' 2',< 1 to 3d. per lb.— Some of Ihe light- fingered gentry took a trip to the Fair, and contrived to ease two or three individuals of their money, amongst whom was a well- known worthy Cambrian, from the neighbourhood- of Chirk, named John James, who is generally considered to be as good a hand at driving a bargain as any in the county of Denbigh. However, under the specious pretext of being upon terms of intimacy with the Vicar of Chirk, two well- dressed gentlemen entered into conversation with the honest but too credulous man, and requested him to deliver a letter for them t > the reverend divine, to which lie readily assented 1 they treated him with rum and water, cracked their j'tke.*, and were soon upon the easiest terms of familiarity. They then conversed about their money, exhibited what James took to he rolls of bills, and talked about the safest mode of putting their mouey up. The Cambrian was thrown completely off his guard, pulled out his money, and let one of theni fold it up carefully in brown paper, and place it ( as he thought) in bis watch pocket. They soon after retired, under pretext of writing the letter to the Vicar, but were no sooner ought of sight than they took their departure for Marchwiel; and about an hour afterwards, James, being tired of waiting for the gentlemen and the letter, thought of returning home, and of examining the contents of his watch pocket, where he found the brown paper wrapper, but the notes ( nmounting to £ 30), with three sovereigns, were no longer to be seen.— John Mason, constable of Ellesmere, was then sent in pursuit of the parlies, and in the travellers' room of an inn at Wrexham he captured one of them, named John Green, on whom were found two £ 100 flash notes, and eight £ 50 notes of the same description : Green was conducted, not to the Vicar of Chirk, but before the Vicar of Elles- mere, who gave the constable a note, by virtue of which Green has been conveyed to oor County Gaol, to take his trial for the robbery. T he property lost by John James was not found on the prisoner, whose confederate escaped, and doubtless carried off the booty. In Wellington Fair, yesterday, there was a very good supply of Cattle, and prime beef averaged about 5d. per lb.— Sheep sold well, fat ones averaging from 5d. to 5' d. per lb.

On Friday last, about mid- day, a Very alarming fire broke out in the town of Ellesmefe, on the tan- yard and premises belonging to Mr. Joshua Lewis Menlove, tanner. The fite originated in a building called the drying- house, in which was a stove for drying leather and other goods, and when discovered had made great progress— the workmen having left the yard to go to their dinners. The two parish engines were very soon ujHm- the spot; and had it not been for the very great and praiseworthy exertions of the tow nspeople, who immediately flocked in great sumbers to assist, aided also by a plentiful supply of water from the Mere, close to which the building was sit noted-, the consequences would have been most awful and disastrous, as several low thatched build- ings, antl also large stacks of dry bark, were within a few yards of the flames. By the utmost exertions the tire was confined to the building in which it originated, which, however, it totally destroyed, together with a quantity of valuable leather and wool, with which it was filled;—' The premises antl stock were fortunately insured, or the loss to the proprietor would have been very considerable. How the fire originated has not been ascertained, But is supposed to have been quite accidental.

Mr. Taunton moved for a rule nisi for a new trial in this case, which was tried before Mr. Baron Vanghan, at the last assizes at Gloucester, when a verdict was found for the defendants. The learned counsel observed that the cause had been tried two or three times before, but the verdicts had not always been the same way. On this last occasion the trial had occupied five entire days, four in the delivery of counsel's speeches and the evidence, and the fifth in the summing up and observations of the learned Judge. He now moved for a new trial on two grounds — first, that the verdict was contrary to evidence, antl, secondly, that there had been a misdirection on the part of the learned Judge. The learned counsel recapitulated the principal facts given in evidence, and commented on the case in a speech of nearly two hours. At the conclusion of it, Lord Tenterden said, that he and his learned brothers'would have a communication with Mr. Baron Vaughnn as to the effect of the evidence, apd state their opinions in a few days.

For further Particulars apply to Mr HARPER, Soli- citor, WlgtcliUrcil, who has a Sketch of the ditfeieut Lois. The above extracts speak in a language too plain and intelligible fo need any lengthened comments from us, eren did ou^ space admit of indulging in them. In order, however, still farther to shew the spirit of the meeting, we ought, perhaps, to mention, that when Mr: O'Connell proposed the health of « Mr. Morrogh, the firm and conscientious Juror," — the person it will be remembered who acquired so unenviable a notoriety, in the above capacity, during the proceedings of the Cork Commission, aiid whose extraordinary conduct on that occasion called forth ttiu) animadversion of the Bench— the toast was » fcdiived with as strong marks of applause, as any % hfch resounded to the honour of the " Gieat < i? f% rator'' himself, land was drank, according to the jpt port' from which we copy, " with an enthusiasm { that defies description .'" t> Before we conclude we cannot feftaiii from making [ a slight allusion to the tone and temper with which Mr. O'Connelt's new scheme " the repeal of the Union," or, Uf use his own words, << the repeal of that cursed measure, which deprived Ireland of her Senate, and thereby made her a dependant upon ^ British aristocracy, and British intrigue, and British " interests, 1" has been received in this cblintry. The Morning Journal considers that the New Agitation will be about as hopeless a task, as that set by the arch- wizard, Michael Scott, to his tormenting demon, namely* to make bower cables of sea- sand ; and so do we; butas we have already stated, it is in the very impossibility of its accomplishment, in which lurks the danger to the peace and tranquillity of Ireland. On the other hand, it is perfectly refreshing to peruse the remarks of the liberal press, oh the subject of the Great M. P.' s harangue. " The Awful," aptly enough, characterises it as " the opening of a new Chapter of. Agitation, which throws out a lure to Revolutionists' and Incendiaries, by holding up as an attainable benefit to Ireland, by a violation of that solemn compact with Great Britain, what if attained, would be the surrender of the whole Church and State in Ireland into the hands of another Catholic -' Association'*— « liilst one of this print's evening satellites ( the Star J declares, in spite of consistency, that during the long " agitation" in which Mr. O'Connell was engaged, " the cloven foot of his Papistical partizanship stood out conspicuously from heneath the mantle of his Irish patriotism;" and further charges him, as " the connecting link between the Roman Pontiff and his Jesuit Missionaries in Jrcland, directly with Papistical designs; with aims to separate and subvert, and revolutionize ; with schemes incompatible with his allegiance to his lawful Sovereign, and having for their object, to dissolve the allegiance of his countrymen !" And even our con temporary the Bristol Gazette, has, at this eleventh hour, discovered, that " Mr. . O'Connell thinks the trump of fame never loud enough in his praise, except it blows a blast like a whirlwind!"— No one, however, with the mental capacity tn distinguish bptween a " hawk" and a " hand- saw," pretends to ( disguise the fact, that the most momentous evils Can- not fail of resulting to unhappy, priest ridden Ireland . irom a " new agitation," differing only from the old its pretext and watchwords, and in the circum- stance of there appearing no possible term to its fatal " existence ! [ From the Bristol Journal.] That many of our liberal contemporaries acted from purely conscientious motives in the strenuous sup- port they extended to the Catholic Association, as well as to the " HKALING MEASURE," we never pretended to question or deny ; but it must be con- fessed, that during the time the war of opinion on the latter momentous subject was waging between the Protestant and the Pro- popery press, the " courtesies, or, to speak more technically, les amenitts de . lii guerre were by no means reciprocal. Notwithstaiiib ing the boasted assurance of the writers in question; that their views on the. subject were incontrovertible — and nothing surely ever surpassed their, jndomitabjp self- complacency in their own political tenets— djd any one dare to entertain a fear, or to express a doubt, that the concession of the Catholic Claims might not be attended with the full harvest of suc- cess which they anticipated, he was forthwith be- spattered with the foulest abuse;— did lie venture to predict that it would not prove the panacea for all the ills under which Ireland groaned, aS in their Experimental Philosophy tliey vaunted it would— the hardest words furnished by ihe language, were immediately singled out, and hurled at his offending head. Had any Protestant writer the temerity to hint at. the probability that the oil of conciliation might, perhaps, prove ineffectual in stilling the troubled waters of Agitation— lie was branded with the obnoxious title of" bloody- minded Brunswioker;" — and did he dare to prognosticate the possibility that the delusive bubble of Emancipation would soon burst— with being a " factious demagogue;" so little did these champions of the " good cause," as they were pleased facetiously to call it, in spite of their confidence of superiority, seem inclined to emulate the generosity of those valiant knights of old, who vowed to joust without helmet or shield against all enemies and ostentatiously to give their antagonists t e advantages of both sun and wind. We need scarcely add, that we received our full complement of abuse for the opposition we thought it our duty to make to the " solitary measure" of the last Session of Parhament; some of our contemporaries even went to the length of declaring their belief that we were sacramei. ted ( if we may be allowed the term) against every measure calculated to forward the best interests.. Of our country, or to restore peace and tranquillity to the sister kingdom However, as the proveib says, " hard words break no bones," and we have no wish to rip open the wounds of old grievances. We would simply advise those who thought fit to con- temn our motives, and to laogh at our forebodings, to take a slight glance at the present state and prospects of Ireland. It is not our intention to remark upon the altogether unparalleled combination for the purposes of robbery and murder, proved by the late proceed,, ings at Cork, to have existed in the very heart of that distracted country. We are aware that some of the London Papers have attempted to soften down the atrocities of the conspiracy to which we allude ; but even Mr. O'Connell himself, who states that he watched the proceedings with a " lynx- eyed scru- tiny," does not pretend to deny that a conspiracy I actually existed. Our present purpose is to call the. ^ serious attention of the public, ami especially" ( jf,, , NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS those who were credulous enough to believe that u^ JwHe names of' those who were, nominated for Hydra of Catholic Agitation had been prostrated1 by ^ erfffs h the Lord of the Council, at the Exchequer, the miscalled Relief Bill, to the proceedings at the on j|> e jns( entertainment given to the Hon.

Yonghal, on the 1st of the current month. The company at the festive board, on the occasion in question, ( the Sunday was doubtless fixed upon, in accordance with the old Romish maxim,—'' The' better the day, the better the deed,") consisted, as we learn from the Irish newspapers, of about 150 gentle- men, and we observe that of the names thought worthy of particular mention in the report, about half are those of Roman Catholic Priests, by whom it is very evident, the meeting was got up. As a matter of course, libations were poured out iu honour of the " GRI AT LIBERATOR" of Ireland ; and it is to the revolutionary nature of the speech in which Mr. O'Conncll returned liis thanks, that we would principally direct the attention of our readers, since, in the course of his tirade, he expressed his fixed determination of attempting the repeal of the Union, ( an Utopian, and consequently au exceedingly dangerous course) by the aid of a volunteer armed association, similar to that which effected the inter- national arrangement of 1782. We find it impossible to give the speech entire, and an abstract would convey no adequate idea of its malignity. Under these circumstances, we have thought it better to embody such extracts as we can find room for, in the present article. After some frothy declamation respecting the beneficial effects of the " HEALING MEASURE," the Arch- Agitator thus proceeds to scatter the firebrands of rebellion amongst his ghostly confederates:— " Conscience is free, a broad embracing principle is established, and we have shaken off the blasphemous Penal Code which raised a barrier between man and his Maker. Ireland alone, of all nations of the earth, has achieved a bloodless revolution. In 1782 she stood up in the majesty of national power. Is there no other 1782?—( Hear, and loud cheers. J— It is a truth grown into a proverb, that what lias been once done may be again effected Ireland is too good to he a Province, and she must, and shall again have" her resident Parliament. 1 have heard named the Union between England, Scotland, and Ireland ; but such Union only tends to the degradation of the entire. Nor can Ireland hope for such happiness until she is again a nation— until she has again within her bosom a domestic Legislature. I shall not stop here to discuss the ad » antages of Irish independence — I pity, from my soul I pity the man, w ho thinks he ought not to have a Legislature in his own country. Shall I be told ' tis hopeless to look back upon the Catholic cause?— When it was difficult to. get five persons in a room on the subject, the Catholics were divided amongst themselves, and hated each other with a rancour almost equalling that of the oppressor who trampled on them both. Yet, notwithstanding these divisions, Emancipation was carried, and a Catholic is now the member for Clare. Are union and exertion no longer necessary ? Are the Beres- fords, Blockheads ? Will they give up Waterford without a struggle ? Are there no Hudsons or Cur- rvs in Dungarvan?— Whilst Emancipation was to he carried, had these no interest in the opposition to it ? But who'll oppose a repeal of the Union, when all will be equally gainers by a native Legislature?— ( Cries of hear, hear.)— I shall have the Orangemen on my side 1 will unite the Presbyterian of the north with the Methodist of the south, and I shall bring the quiet, prim Quaker into the confederacy. Who doubts of your success ? Is there no change in the times ?" Mr. O'Connell next alluded, and we need scarcely say in no measured terms of abuse, to the - Protestants, who in the course of his 30 years' agitation, have been bold and honest enough to oppose his mad game of ambition. One specimen will be amply sufficient to mark the animus of the whole. " The Marquis of Ely," mid the Honourable M. P. for Clare, " still lives! If he dare now— dare the repetition of the outrage, the golden coronet that encircles his brow would tie exchanged for the ignominious rope I The object of persecution is now safe from his fangs; and when his mild and benign spirit shall ascend and participate in the joys of a better state, bis Lordly oppressor will be doomed to uuless he repent of his dreadful crimes." Can politeness and Christian charity go further than this! Mr. O'Connell con- cluded a speech, which will be, as doubtless he intended it should, long remembered, in the following words:—" Thank God, I stand the representative of the people.

MODERN WELSH LITERATURE— We are happy to find that the report which lately prevailed in a certain district as to the discontinuance of the Cam- brian Quarterly Maga2ine is Utterly groundless. On the contrary, arrangements have been made for carrying on the work with increased vigour Addi- tional sources of interesting matter have been opened, and talents of the highest order enlisted in its cause, which will not only render it attractive to natives of the Principality, but will place it among the first periodicals of the day.— Within the last week a meeting of the most eminent literary characters of North and South Wales was held, w hen an extensive plan of co- operation was adopted, which can hardly fail to be successful. The French papers received last week state that a rebellious disposition has manifested itself among se- veral of the Pachas of Western Turkey. They pro- fess to consider the Sultan as little better than a prisoner in the hands of the Russian General, and vietf the Treaty of Adrianople as tantamount to a cession jof the whole Tnrkish territory to the Imperial Czar— a transfer of the sceptre of dominion from Mahmoud to Nicholas. In a transaction of this kind the Pachas are of opinion that they have a voice, And tliey seem prepared to exercise it. Of the result of any attempt to renew the struggle so lately ter- minated there can be little doubt; but it belongs to the Turkish character totally to disregard conse- (| u » rces, and not to calculate chances with a too scru- pulous nicely » hen the moment for action has arrived. This show of energy, a day after the battle, can be productive of no benefit to the cause in which it is displayed. The Pachaliclcs bordering upon Greece are represented as having come to Ihe determination of opposing the surrender of that territory according to fhe stipulations of the Treaty of July. The French papers of Wednesday contain an article from Orsova, in which it is stated that a Russian corps of 200 men, stationed at Vratza, had been surrounded by a horde of Turks, and that being too few to attempt resistance, they capitulated and laid down their arms, upon which the Turks fell upon them and massacred them to a man — Athens is said f() have been evacuated by the Turks and given up to the Greeks. The accounts from Constantinople, through the Paris papers, are to the 10th ult. at which time uneasiness appears to have been felt by the Sultan, in consequence of some of the Pachas having, as above stated, refused to yield obedience to the provisions of the Adrianople treaty. The Albanians, under the command of Mustapha Pacha, are stated to he en- eSmpled between Philippoli and Adrianople, to the number of 30,000, and to be constantly interrupting the communications of the Russian arniv. Count Diel/ itsch had sent his Aide- du- camp to Constantinople to. announce his intention to renew hostilities if the disobedient Pachas were not immediately reduced.— A Turkey mail has also since arrived, which brings intelligence that Sir Pulteney Malcolm, Commander of the English fleet at the Dardanelles, had visited Constantinople, and had been presented to the Sultan, with whom he remained upwards of two hours, an honour without a precedent at. the Turkish court. According to the advices from Central America, that beautiful portion of the transatlantic world con- tinued a prey to civil discord. The province of Nica- ragua was still the theatre of civil war — city against city — and almost brother against brother. The cities of Leon and Menagua were arrayed against Grenada and Nicaragua, without any ostentible cause.— The state of affairs in Guatemala was equally bad. The St. . Salvadoreans had violated the capitulation, which guaranteed to every man security of person and property, and had made prisoners of one hundred and fifteen men of the first rank, and sacrificed their property, amounting to about 3,000,000 dollars. The St. Salvadorians had issued a proclamation, convoking a - new congress, for the purpose of re- organising a federal government. BANKRUPTS, Nov, 14.— MigueJ Maria Cnlafnt, of S|.

The Earl of WINCHII. S'-' A entered the room about five o'clock, arid the company then sat down to dinner. The Noble Earl took the chair, having on his right hand Sir E. Knatchbull, and on his left the Hon. Wingfield Stafford, In proposing the health of Sir Edward Knatchbull, fhe NORLE CHAIRMAN said—" Although I cannot venture fo give full vent fo my own sentiments in the presence of. my honourable friend, feeling as 1 do towards him the deepest gratitude, the highest respect, and the warmest esteem ; hut this I will boldly and briefly assert— that, if a just estimate and a thorough knowledge of the principles of our late Constitution— if a firm, uncompromising, and con- sistent support of those principles, can entitle any man not only to the esteem of the body of the Pro- testants of this kingdom, hut also to their gratitude, no individual can have a. stronger claim upon us than my - honourable' friend: ( Cheers.) He is one who has boldly and uniftir\ nly taken his stand in the breach, when those who were entrusted with the security and preservation of the Constitution have unfortunately surrendered it, either from views of political expediency, or, yielding to the threats and intimidation of a faction which at this moment threatens to overturn and destroy the liberties of our country." Sir EDWARD KNATCHBUIX, in returning thanks, said—" When he last met his friends on a public occasion, their situation was widely different Then, he had strong reason to trust that the Protestant principles were so sincerely professed— so faithfully cherished — that, let what might occur, they could never suffer any compromise. from a determination such as that adopted in the laqt Session of Parliament. He expected that they would ever have continued safe and uninjured in this country. But the Ca. se was widely different. The Parliament— the Legis- lature of the nation, had thought fit that an alteration should be made such as the country had witnessed. When lie went to attend his duty in the House of Commons, the first intimation he received of any intended eha. ge in the policy of the country, arose from the dictation of the Minister of the Crown, by which he ( Sir E. Knatchbull) was called upon to change his opinion, merely because he ( the Minister) had altered his views. If the Ministers had adduced a reason which should be sufficiently cogent to bis mirid . to influence him to the adoption of their new views, he should not have held himself bound by what had passed in the county, but should have assented to the proposals brought forward by the Government. But this had not been the case. He was ctillied upon, without reason or foundation, to change his opinion, and to take a different course from that which he had pursued through his'whole public life. It was impossible for him to act thus. He should have compromised every opinion which he had himself professed, as, " unfortunately, many Gen- tlemen had done, by sanctioning principles which, as the Representative of that county, he felt to be unjust and injurious. ( Loud, cheers.) If he had sanctioned the changes of measures which had been proposed, what might next be exacted from him ? When Parliament should meet next, the first question agitated might be one which would deeply affect the interests of the country. If he were to assent fo it merely because the Government wished it, where would he the interests of those whom he now ad-: dressed ? What might he the nature of the proposi- tions relating to the measures designated by the title of Free Trade? Look also to the Currency question. If he were implicitly to follow the dictation of the Government on this question, he mi^ ht compromise those interests which it was his duty to support. He mentioned these two points as questions in which the interests of his Constituents might be deeply involved. Supposing that the question of the cur- rency should again come on for consideration— as it might be necessary that, it should— was he to follow that course which the Minister should think. necessary or expedient ? Was he to deprive himself of the right of advocating the interests and protecting the rights essential to his country? It was impossible for him so to act. He expected, therefore, from the expression which they had just made of their senti- ments, that they wotild approve of his conduct in Parliament, not only in reference to the great ques tion which had been introduced upon the present occasion, but as far as it was Connected with the maintenance of the equally important question of the representation of. the people of this kingdom. ( Applause.) What might be the course of events in the Session which was now approaching he should not stop to discuss— this was not the time nor the occasion ; but of this, at least, this Meeting might be assured, that if any thing occurred, he should act upon the same decided, independent principles, as he had ever professed and adopted." ( Applause.) The health of the Earl of Winchilsea having been given, and drank in the most enthusiastic manner— The NOBLE CHAIRMAN observed, that next to the approving- voice of one's own conscience, the best reward for the discharge of one's duty, was the ap- probation ( if men whose manliness and public spirit gave additional valtte t( 3 their respet't. ( Loud cheers.) And he must say that tliere nevet1 was it period in which this extension of such support arid countenance was more needed than at the present. ( Hear.) There never was a period in which persons of all classes, rich and poor, high and low, were more called upon to stand forth in defence of their principles than at this moment. Dangers of no ordinary kind were hanging over the country, and, in his humble opinion, were threatening to involve in one common ruin those liberties, and that fair and impartial administration of the laws, w hich had been the boast and pride of this country. The time seemed to be approaching when they would be called upon, with horror and surprise, to witness the total overthrow of those principles which they had been taught to regard as fhe founda- tions of the civil and religious liberties of the Country, which had placed the country Upon the pinnacle of grandeur, and made it the envy and admiration of surrounding nations. What words would be ade- quate to express the contempt that ought to be felt for those who had made the profession of Protestant principles a mere stepping- stone to office—( Loud cheers) .• and w ho having bv their professions ob- tained the confidence of the Protestant body of the empire, abused them to the betrayal of the liberties which they were bound to support, and to the sub- version of the vested rights and liberties of the people Such men ought to be the objects of their unqualified contempt. It had been ufged by many that the measures recently adopted were salutary from their conciliatory tendency ; but let any one look to that part of the empire for whose benefit they were said to be particularly intended. What proof was there that the lamentable surrender of our Constitution had produced the desired effect ? What proof was offered, even by the class of men for whom, although differ- ing from them during his whole public life, he enter- tained no feelings of hostility or disrespect— he meant those who conscientiously advocated concessions to the Roman Catholics?— what proof did they offer that these concessions had been advantageous? - but, above all, what proof could those who, up to the last moment, had advocated the exclusion of the followers of the Church of Rome from power, because their tenets would endanger the liberties of the people, and he subversive of the Constitution ?— what proof were they now able to bring forward of the benefits of the surrender, in which they bad concurred, as tending to tranquillize Ireland ? Let them look to the declar- ation of the seventy Magistrates of the county of Tipperary— men of the highest character— of the most unsullied integrity— gentlemen holding im- portant oflioial', situations, many of them having been, during their whole lives, . friends of Catholic Eman- cipation Look at similar declarations in the counties of Sligo, Roscommon, Clare, Cork— and, in short— through the whole of the south and west of Ireland. Look at the trials at Doneraile, which brought to light a conspiracy, of a savageness and ferocity, which ex- ceeded any thing recorded in the history of a civilised country. Looking at all these things, where was the prospect that conciliation would prodine all the bene- fits w hich were promised from it, and that tranquillity would be obtained ? He was aware that the measure of Catholic Emancipation had passed— and what was done could not be recalled. But, let no man think that it was to end with the right to possess | olitical power. The Roman Catholics asked for that power in order to use it. Ij> ok, for instate, at the declara- tion of the leading Members of that faction which had wrested from us our Constitution. Look at the de- claratibns of the men who had said that the concession of that question was the ultimatum of their views, but who now threatened that if their further demands were not conceded, they would place the country in Universal agitation, in order either fo gain ot'er or to intimidate the Government. In the line which he had taken on this great political question, he tiifd been actuated hy no other riicftive than fin anxious desire for. the p oblic- welfare of the country. ( Loud cheers.) He liad Conscientiously arid honestly ad- vocated the principles which he professed, and should continue to do so lo ihe ia: H hour of his life. What- ever should be the result of these concessions, lie w;. s sure there was not an individual in tlie empire who would more willingly avow the erroneous opinion* he had entertained of the ambitious views of the Romish Church, if these measures should prove the means of bestowing tranquillity upon the empire. He would be the last man in the world to wish not. to give them a fair chance of success; but he would not stand by and see a system of intimidation pursued in the country without raising his voice and Cautioning pvery individual who valued British liberty, to Come for- ward and give a just support to those principles. The political events of the last two Sessions of parlia- ment were, in magnitude and importance, unparal- leled in the history of our country since the Revolu- tion. To what extent change and innovation might proceed, no nian Could undertake to say. If this were caused by those who advocated with sincerity the measures they urged, arid were impressed with their necessity, there would not be so much reason to com- plain ; but he lamented that the voice of the people had not been taken. ( Cheers.) He would only say in addition, that in whatever station he might fie placed, be would, as he had done from the first moment of his public life down to the present hour, endeavour to act in an independent manner. He was aware that the only ground for the compliment which had been paid him was, that he. had advocated prin- ciples so dear fo all who heard him. In these times of political degeneracy, when men'were TriUch influ- enced by private feelings, he could not be astonished that such motives' had been attributed to liim. In the face of the country he now declared that he had none such: ( Cheers.) It riiight be said that he acted frotri no ptiblic spirit, but from selfish views He publicly declared, and he could ap'peal to his Hon. Friend to' testify for liini, that before he filled the station in which he was now placed he had proclaimed tile same sentiments. ( Cheers.) His feeling was that the son of a Peer ought not to be the representa- tive of a county, but that that trust ought to he con- fined to fhe leading Commoners. . Proud as lie was of his connection with Kent, he only. hoped that, its representation would ever remain in hands as inde- pendent and as able as those of his Hon. Friend. The healths of the Earl of Eldon, & c. See. were given, and drank with applause; and the meeting was altogether of the most brilliant and gratifying description. DoNF- RAII. E CONSPIRACY.— Such a salutary effect has the Special Commission produced on the ferocious savages engaged in the conspiracy, which it was in- tended to check, that on Siturday last another at- tempt was made to murder Mr. Low, by a party which secreted themselves for that purpose. Failing in their intent upon the life of this respectable gentle- man, they threatened to put to death a horse which they conceived to be his, and only desisted on a solemn assurance to the contrary. The place in which these murderous miscreants took up their position was at John's Grove, where the last attack upon Mr. Low was made, and where, it is supposed, lie would have come on that day for the purpose of hunting— » Evening Mail.

LANCASHIRE.— The respected representative o this county— the individual who for forty- five years, on every occasion, upheld its great and varied in- terests— has announced bis intention of retiring from ptiblic life. In this his retirement Mf. Btackburne will assuredly carry with him that best and proudest of all memorials — the respect arid esteem of his con- stituents, to whom he has indeed proved himself a faithful servant and true friend. It will be for the freeholders to take care that his successor be qualified by his private character and public virtue to tread in the steps of so' upright and valued a predecessor. We doubt not Mr. Blackburne will receive from the constituency of the county some strong testimony of their gratitude and bis worth.— Manchester Chronicle. It is said that the Flon. Edward Fetre, of Stapleton Park, a Roman Catholic gentleman, who lately qua- lified as a magistrate for the West Riding of York- shire, and has just married one of the daughters of Lord Stafford ( Jerningham), intends to offer himself for the representation of Ponlefract, in the event of a dissolution of parliament, or a vacancy arising from any othet' cause. Rumours to the following purport have been , in circulation here during the past month :— That a gentleman of title and opulence, formerly a resident, in the neighbourhood, and professing a religion until but recently a barrier to the holding a seat in the " great councils of the nation," positively intends to offer himself for a share in the representation of this city, whenever a vacancy shall occur. Wc merely mention such rumours as they have reached us, and can say nothing as to their authenticity. Thus much We believe, however, to be the fact; that three or four individuals, who have been accustomed to take an active, although subordinate part, ill the elec- tioneering proceedings of this city, have been for some time " past, and are now, in pay, to forward the interests of some re It' aspirant for a participation in the honour of representing Worcester, preparatory to the Arrival of the day when it shall again become the subject of Contention. We are told that in making use of the " secret service money" they are entrusted with, these employes are most guarded that the name of their principal does not escape their lips, and that they pledge him in their cups as " the man unknown!" Who, therefore, " the man unknow n" is, remains of course riiatter for speculation ; and why it should have been conjectured to be the party alluded to above, we are unable to say", but it must be left to the future to disclose.— Worcester Herald.—[ He presume Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart, is the gentleman alluded to, as " the man unknown!"] On Tuesday week, a fatal accident befel one of the workmen, of the name of Robert Kenriek, employed in making the new canal, from Birmingham to Liver- pool, in the parish of Norbury, in Staffordshire. He was employed in getting clay, for the purpose of falsing the canal to its Intended level, which in that part of the country it is said will exceed twenty feet, and whilst engaged at the bottom of the pit, a portion of the clay slipped from the side of the walk, and overwhelmed him. His companions extri- cated him in a few minutes, but he was so much bruised in the head and body, as to be unable t > speak or move, and immediately afterwards expired. He was a miner from this county, where he has left a wife and a large family. Since the recent experiments on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway several new lines have been projected. The Preston paper of Saturday stat s that it is intended to form a rail road from that town to Wigan, thus joining the towns of Liverpool, Man- chester, and Preston by means of a rail road. The Liverpool Allr'on says, that at a meeting held on Thursday at Prescot, of the gentlemen interesfed in the St. Helen's collieries and the Northwieh saltworks, and intermediate places, it was unanimously resolved, that application should be immediately made to pa - liament to authorize the formation of a railway from St. Helen's to Runcorn, with a variety of branch", and a connection with Ihe Liverpool and Mancbesi- r rail- road. On Saturday a meeting of the shareholders of the projected railway between Manchester an. I Stockport was held, at which it was resolved to fo. - I the road on the plan proposed by Mr. Stephen-" u.

OUR DOMESTIC POLICY. [ From titackwebd's Magazine.'] As otir new system of policy, with respect to trade and currency, has now had the benefit of a sufficient period of trial to prove its efficacy, or the contrary, it will he for its advoiatca' to show what practical good has arisen from it, and what class of the com- munity is better, richer, happier, than before this bright light of political wisdom broke in upon our councils, and caused us to make alterations so im- portant. If they can show nothing of this kind, and is the present state of the country a different bypc* thesis is monstrous, the nt gative argument would be sufficient to give tl. e victory to the adherents of the old system ; for, in the affairs of a nation, alteration without improvement is an evil. But it would be well that those who are persuaded of the positive ly evil tendencies of the new system, should be prepared to show how the system operates in the production of distress and calamity, and thus conic upon their opponents with the united force of argument and fact. We really think there is but litlSe diflicalty in flits; yet in all matters of'political discussion, how- ever obvious they appear, it is best to proceed cau- tiously, and not to venture upon too wide a field ; for the liberals— to whom it must be conceded, that they are much more adroit in matters of speech, than the professors of what we conceive better principles— will be ready enough to seize upon one weak- point, anil by overturning it, throw an air of defeat apon a whole argument, wliieli they have scarcely touched. The arguments therefore, which they have hitherto produced, should be closely scanned, and their train of reasoning followed down to the point where the difference appears between what has happened, and what they argued would happen; and let it be put to them to explain the discrepancy if they can. In our opinion, the advocates of free trade have always argued, taking as an admitted principle, that which common experience proves to be false '. namely, that all the labour which we save by getting from another country a commodity cheaper than we can ourselves produce it, is immediately turned to some profitable account. Now we maintain, that in prac- tice this does not happen, but that while we suppose that we are getting the foreign commodity on terms more favourable to the nation, we actually render those who were formerly employed in its produce at home, totally unproductive, the country being at the same time burthened with their support. But a year or two ago, a Political Economist, whose dictum is considered as cogent as " proof of holy writ," amongst the Whigs, informed us in the Edinburgh Review, that by the admission of foreign corn we might obtain the same quantity of food with the labour of a million anil a half instead of two millions of people ; and then be goes on to say, that " it is clear to demonstration, that after the fall of prices the surplus half million of hflnds would be employed in some other pursuit, and consequently, that the produce of their I., hour would be so much clear gain - so much of positiv e addition to the previous wealth and riches of the country." This is the ordinary language of the sect, ilntl yet we put it to the common experi- ence of any man who sees what is passing around him, whether it be not mere delusion. It is easy to assert that a thing is " clear to demonstration," when no attempt is made to demonstrate it. We say it cannot be demonstrated, because it is not true. It is not true that if half a million of our agricultural population were found unnecessary, because we could get the same quantity of bread without their assist- ance, that therefore tfee country would be becoming richer in consequence of employing them in something else ; but it is true that the result would be their total idleness, their unutterable distress and misery, and perhaps a rebellion caused by starvation and despair. Happily for the country the notion:* of the Econo- mists have not yet been carried into practice with respect to the reception of foreign corn ; but in the various branches of our produce, where they have been adopted, the ell'ccts of a mistake precisely similar to that which we have just endeavoured to expose, may be found operating in proportion to the extent of population employed ill the pursuits affected by the adoption of the new system. Let us take, for example, the lead trade, and compare the theory of the Free Trade advocates with its practical effects. Let it be granted that we can get as much good washed ore from Spain for £ 70, as we used to get out of the mines of Northumberland or Cumber- land for £ 100. The Economist says, it is a manifest saving to the country of 30 per cent, on this article, and your mining population w ill be better employed in doing something else for which the country pos- sesses greater advantages. But it so happens, that for doing this " something else" the mining popula- tion is not wanted. It is true, that for £ 70 worth of goods sent to Spain we get as much ore as we did for £ 100 worth sent into Cumberland; but our miserable miners, once a cheerful, happy, comfortable population, are all paupers— some altogether idle, some breaking stones on the roads, and some working at their trade for wages so low, that to keep them from starving the parish is obliged to half maintain their families. Ill a national point of view, the difference, as it appears to us, between the new and the old system is just, this: by the former, the coun- try sends away £ 70 worth of goods, and gets back a given quantity of lead ore, and the wealth of the country can only be increased by the amount of the difference in value between the ore received and the goods sent away, minus the cost of supporting certain lead miners, who have become unproductive con- sumers. By the latter, the country first became richer by £ 100 worth of goods manufactured to be exchanged for lead iu Cumberland ; then it became richer by the £ 100 worth of load raised to meet this demand, the goods which purchased it never having been sent out of the country; and against these two profits there is no drawback for the support of p iupers. If this he a fair statement of the case, and really we can see no fallacy in the view we have t iken of it, it is no wonder that the country should be on the high road to ruin under the operation of the Free Trade system. All the means of wealth may exist within a coun- tryman abundant and industriously disposed popu- lation, powerful machinery, and an inexhaustible store of raw material; and yet, if a demand cannot be excited for the products of one class by another class, the wealth w ill not be created. People will not manufacture goods merely to Increase the wealth of the nation ; they mint see a means of exchanging them for something which is desirable to themselves' and, therefore, it is vain to adopt a, svsseuij which oi. ly increases the possibility of attaining national w< alth, while it takes away the inducement to indivi- duals to create it. Suppose a manufacturer of cotton gowns to give 1000 gowns in the year to 100 women in Woodstock for gloves; when he finds that, by our rew system of policy, he can get the same quantity of gloves from France fur 700 gowns, he does not make a present of the surplus 300 gowns to the women of Woodstock, nor does he use more gloves than he did, but he turns oft* some dozen or so of the gown makers, to add to the now unemployed popu- lation of the glove makers, and he gets his usual quantum of gloves from France in exchange for his 700 gowns. Thus what is called a saving is not a saving; a given quantity of something is obtained for a less quantity of something else, but upon the whole, production is not only not increased, but greatly diminished. Such we believe to be the working of the Free Trade system ; and though we fed warmly enough upon the subject, wc have endeavoured to examine it with all the calmness and carefulness due to so very important a matter, upon which a great deal purporting to be argument has been put forth. Throughout this paper we have assumed that the state of the country, with respect to trade and manu factures, is lamentably bad. Wt have conccived ourselves justified in the assumption, because of the general consent to the fact, and the uniform tendency of all the published accounts which we have read: it is therefore almost needless to say any thing about the lists of exports which have been published with something of a triumphant flourish. If the lists pr< v • any thing in the matter at issue, they prove infi rent tally that trade is not bad ; but to think to convince the world by inferential argument that a thing is not, when there is direct evidence that it i* » , is a very idle exercise of argumentative skill. w Lord Peter's" demonstration to his brothers Jack and Martin, that a loaf of bread was a leg of mutton, must no longer be considered ludicrous, if wc are to take a list of exports for a graVe argument that trade is brisk and prosperous, notwithstanding that half the people in trade have nothing to do but walk about with their hands in their pockets, and with, unfortun- ately, nothing else there. If the account whitli has ' been lately published of the cnotmous revenues spent abroad by British absentees be at all near the mark, a great portion of our exports must be a dead loss to the country, an outlay without any return; and if the view we have taken of the Free Trade systerfi be correct, another large portion of the exports is a mere exchange; whereas, if the goods were disposed of in the home market, an equivalent to them would be created, and both original and equivalent be added to the wealth of tha country. HYDROPHOBIA. I was at San Miguel de Horcasitas, where a per- son afflicled with hydrophobia was tied up to a post with stvoog cords, and a priest wus adminis- tering the last offices of religion. At the approach of a paroxysm the unfortunate sufferer,- with infuriated looks, desired the priest to get out of the svuy, for that he felt a desire to bite every body he could catch hold of. An old womau who was present said she would undertake his cure; and although there were none who believed it possible that she could effect it, yet the hope that she might do so, and the certainty of the patient's death if nothing were attempted, bore down all opposition, and her servic s were accepted. She poured a powder into half a glass of water, mixed it well, and in the intervals between the paroxysms she forced the mixture down his throat. The effects were exactly such as she predicted-^ namely, that ; he would almost instantly lose all power over his bodily and mentuf faculties^ and that a death- like stupor would prevail, without any symptoms of animation, for twenty- four or forty- eight hours, according to the strength of his constitution; that at the end of this period the cli'ects of the mixture would arouse the patient, and its violent operation, as emetic and cathartic, would last about ten or fifteen minutes, after which he would be able to get upon his legs, and would feel nothing but the debility which had been produced by the combined effects of the disease and the medicine. She men- tioned also, that the fluid to be discharged from the stomach would be as black as charcoal, and offen- sive to the smell. All this literally took place at the end of twenty- six hours, and the patient was liberated from one of the most horrible and affecting deaths to which mortality is subject. She had her own way of accounting- for the effects of this dis- ease. She termed it a local complaint attacking the inouthy which by degrees it irritates and inflames; this ripens the virus, which is conveyed to the brain by means of the nerves, aud is received al § o into the stomach with the saliva. The poisou thus matured in the mouth and at the root of the tongue converts the whole o.' the fluids of the stomach into a poisonous bile which, if it be not quickly re- moved, communicates with the blood and shortly destroys life. " METHOD OF CURING HYDROPHOBIA. " The person under the influence of this disease must be well secured, that he may do no mischief either to himself or others. Soak a rennet iu a little more than half a tumbler of water, for about five minutes. When this has been done, add of pulve- rized savadilla as much as may be taken up by the thumb and three fingers. Mix it thoroughly, and give it to the patieut ( that is, force it down his throat in an interval between the paroxysms). The patient is then to be put into the sun if possible ( or placed near the fire), and well warmed. If the first dose tranquillize him after a short interval, no more is to be given, but if he continue furious another dose must be administered, which will infallibly quiet him. A profound sleep will succeed, which will last twenty- four or forty- eight hours ( according to the strength of the patient's constitution), at the expiration of which period he will be attacked \ yith severe purging and vomiting, which will continue till the poison be entirely ejected. He will then be restored to his senses, will ask for food, aud be perfectly cured. There is an Indian living in Tubutama, who is known to have an antidote to the poison, injected into the wound occasioned by the bite of a mad dog, & c.; and it is therefore superior to the eavadilla, which will only cure the disease when it has been formed. Two thousand dollars have been ottered to him to disclose the secret, but he has constantly refused to accede to Ihe terms. His charge is ten dollars for each patient, and lie makes a comfortable livelihood by the practice. 1 made diligent enquiries while I remained in Senora, whether there were unv instances known of the Indian's antidote having failed, but I could hear of no one case where it had been unsuccessful."

Electors of the county Water- fold, containing some observations reflecting ou the political character of Mr. Winston Barron. Mr. Barron thought ii necessary to make his appeal to the constituency, aud introduced some marked personal animadversions upon the conduct of Lord George. An extract will be found subjoined. Pre- paratory to the publication of this latter address, a copy was sent by Mr. Barron to Lord George Beresford. A message was the consequence. The parties met on Saturday morning at nine o'clock, at Bishop's Hall, in the county of Kilkenny, the de- mesne of Joseph Green, Esq. who acted as the friend of Lord George. John Aleock, Esq. officiated for Mr. Barron. The parties fired two shots each with- out effect, when Mr. Green declared on the part of Lord George that he was satisfied. The principals were removed from the ground, but no explanation or adjustment took place. The following are ex- tracts from Mr. Barron's address:— " Aud now, as regards the second consideration of the Address— namely, the conduct of Lord George Beresford towards myself. The simple fact of hav- ing held any conferences with the Beresford family is not to be justified— and 1 do not seek to justify it; but this forms no excuse for his Lordship's dishonourable violation of a private and confidential communication ; and I therefore most unequivocally stigmatise his conduct as a base and profligate abandonment of every ' principle which has hereto- fore been held sacred amongst gentlemen // / 44 His late despicable dissimulation of his political principles has earned for him, as a public man, the contempt of all parlies. His present violation of honour has reduced his private character to the same level as his public. He crouches to the Ca- tholic Bishop of YVaterfoid— he crouches to Mr. O'Conuell— he crouches to Mr. Sheil. He says we should not countenance agitators. Why did he HIRE one agitator, and offer A BRII: E to another ? " My first hasty aud inconsiderate step in public life was rather an unhappy one. 1 have one act to regret, but I am far from thiuking l. nyself, by that one act, lowered to the level of the Noble Lord, my opponent, every act of whose public life has been a continued series of bartering in one way or another* and for the most mercenary of motives -'- But laying aside, for a moment, every other act of his, I would ask, cau jrnblic honesty be expected from a man who is now found, in the most abandoned manner, violating the most sacred principles of honour in private life fBtectUaneone Intelligence* , iiLOt. ALLEGED MURDER, BY GAMEKEEPERS AT RI. IT-., LEY.— We have received a letter from a btgltty- respectable quarter, representing the facts of this case much more favourably to the accused game- keepers thau the account given in our Knares- borough correspondent's letter last week. The party whom the gamekeepers encountered, aud oqe i- f whom was killed, are stated to have been a parly of poachers, who were provided with sticks and stones; and the fatal result of the atl'ray is repre- sented as an accident. Having no kno wledge on this subject, we cau only say that our Knares- borough correspondent is a gentleman of unques- tionable respectability, and that the verdict of the Coroner's Jury seems to bear out bis statement of the evidence. But we should be extremely sorry that an impression should go forth to the prejudice of the accused beyond what the facts may fully justify, and we therefore mention the substance of the letter we have last received.— Leeds Mercury. THE LATE GEMERAL MONEY AND BROUGHTON THE PRIZE FIGHTER.—' Till the death of the late General Money, of Crownpoint, near the eity of Norwich, it was never known by what accident Broughton, the weil- retneinbered prize- fighter of that name, came by his death; but a memorandum to the following effect was found amongst the general's papers, which sets the matter at jest. Broughton, it appears, with the extravagant habits of men of his caste, made no provision againtft ad- verse days, though patronized by the first men of the land with both money and countenance. He, therefore, when means failed him, took to the road, and scron after he commenced this new occopation met General Money by the way- side, and demanded his purse. The general'knew his man, and in reply to his demand desired him lo go quietly about his business, observing, " Broughton, 1 know you, but I will never mention this," Broughton, however, still persisted in having the general's money. " Well," replied the general, " if you will have it you roust!" and, drawing a pistol from his pocket, he sl'. ot Broughton, who reached some place desper- ately w ounded and died soon after. On Tuesday, a person living in tbis neighbourhood called at otir office with 15 very handsome apples, of different sorts, and some of them very large, till of which he had that morning plucked off a single tree, and wliieh contained branches of almost as many sorts more, but without fruit at the time. The tree is what is called by gardeners a " Paradise stock," that is, raised from a pippin; Hpou this, about 30 grafts, taken from as many descriptions of apple trees, were inserted about 10 years ago, the greater p^ rt of which succeeded to admiration, although the person affixing them never saw the operation of grqfting peffdrmed, Although it is not an uncommon thing to find two or three sorts of apples on one tree, in the gard^ ns. of fanciful horticulturists, yet we never saw or heard of the experiment being made to the extent above described.— Sheffield Iris. Last Thursday night a desperate affray took place between the keepers of Richard Oliver Gascoigne, Esq. at Parlington- park, and a large body of poachers, in which several of the keepers were severely bruised. One of the poachers w as so much hurt in the contest that he was unable to walk; be was, however, carried off the ground by his companions, who all, for the time, effected their escape. An express was sent to Leeds for the aid of the police, by whose exertions the following persons charged with being concerned in the outrage have been apprehended and lodged m our gaol : Richard Clough, Luke Broadhead, George Cullingworth, Charles Musgrave, and Michael Hanson. The police are in active pursuit of the re- mainder of the gang. Yesterday afternoon, Christo- pher Beckett, Esq. one of the magistrates for the West- riding, attended at the Court- house, to receive, pro forma, the examination of the persons in custody. After a brief examination the parties were remanded until Monday, at which time it is expecte. d that the wounded keepers will be able to attend, when a full investigation will probably be made into all the cir- cumstances connected with this daring outrage.— Leeds Mercury. The quantity of cider produced In the county of Devon Ibis year exceeds all former precedent in the memory of man; one individual is stated to . aleulate on making more than 4,000 hogsheads. The number of empty casks lauded at Exeter, from London aud other places, has been extraordinarily large, it being computed that, including home manu- facture, at least 12,000 have been sold iu Exeter. On the Duration of the Germinative Power of the Seeds of Plants, particularly of the Cucur- bitacecp.— The Society for the Encouragement of Horticulture in Prussia proposes from time to time certain questions, to w hich it directs the attention of horticulturists. These small problems are an excel- lent method, on the one hand, of tracing a rou e for practical men, and of awakening ill them an idea, of easy researches of which they had not thought; on the other, of collecting a great number of observations, and of experiments on obscure or contested points of horticulture. The following is one of the questions proposed by the society : " Is it true that the seeds of the melon aud cucumber, being preserved fur syme years, yield a greater ubundance of fruit • Melt observers remark that the plants obtained'" from the seeds of the preceding year produce many leaves, but few fruitful flowers, aud almost entirely male ones; but that these seeds, dried by the beat of the sun, or of a stove, yield more fruitful plants, and that it is particularly at the end of some years they acquire this property. These experiments vary from three to twenty years. The heat of the human body may be useful, but it must be used with discretion, or the germinative power will be destroyed. The author of this article has made experiments of the same kind on balsams and gillyflowers. He sowed at the same time some seeds of the last, some which were of Ihe preceding year, and others some years previous. The first came up much sooner than tlie second, and gave only simple flowers; the others produced only sixteen out of several hundred plants. M. Schmidt employs seed from five to twelve years old ; and those of twenty years did not grow. Professor Sprengcl, of Halle, says he obtained no fruit from melon seed a year old. M. d'Arenstorff, of Drebleau, obtained fruit most remarkable for their flavour anil sizC from seed twenty years old. The observations of Professor Treviranus, of Berlin, have afforded the same result. A vigorous vegetation produces, in monoecious plants, male flowers in the greatest abund- ance, sometimes even exclusively. Tbis litis been proved, as far as regards the Cucurbitaceae.; but seeds which are too old produce an opposite result. He has seen seeds of five years old produce female flowers only ; they were fecundated by male flowers of another bed, and yielded fruit. M. Voss, head gardener at Sans Souci, sowed on the 7th February, 1827, twenty- four seeds of a Spanish melon of the year 1790, being consequently thirty- seven years old, and he obtained eight plants, which gave good fruit. This experiment, the most remarkable of all, will excuse our citing eleven others which he made with seed of a less age and different species. Cucumber seeds of 17 years old afforded the same results. M. Voss adds, that some seeds of the alcea rosea of twenty- three years old afforded very well conditioned plants. " We admit, as incontestable, the above mentioned observations. It is known that the seeds of different families retain, for a greater or less time, their germinative power; to cite only one example from among the leguminous plants — about twenty years since, we believe, fruit was obtained in the Royal Garden from a species of Phaseolus or Dolichos, taken from the herbarium ofTournefort."— Vcrhandl des Vereins zur Befard, des Gartenbaurs in den Preuss.

BRAITHWAITE AND ERICSSON'S STEAM, ENGINE. — We understand that it is intended to apply the principle of these gentlemen's steam apparatus, the superiority of which was satisfactorily proved dur- ing the recent experiments on the rail- road, lo the propelling of vessels. A vessel is to be forthwith tilted up with their engine, and the experiment will, we hear, be made as soon as it is complete. One of its great recommendations will consist iu the saving of fuel, as well as in the dead weight in coal which every steam vessel is compelled to carry for use during a voyage. We learn by the last intelligence from Rome, that the Pope is appointing new Bishops in Daltiiatia and elsewhere. He has made the Virgin Mary at Loretto a present of a gold goblet!

Many fine pictures aud large glasses have already been conveyed into this man- sion, An extraordinary discovery of copper ore has been made in St. George's Mine, in the neighbourhood of Perron Porth ; the lode is represented to be five feet jn width, and so rich that the ore thrown on the surface is worth £ 20 a ton. A sounding board of a particular and scientific construction has been erected in St. Peter's church, Hereford. It was used on Sunday last, and hail an appearance somewhat imposing, but not inelegant : and by its powers the preacher's voice was distinctly heard in the most remote comers of the edifice, where before its erection no sentence reached the ear with any degree of distinctness. We understand there is but one other in the kingdom of the same construc- tion, and that is at Sheffield, in the church called Attercliffe. It is the invention or adaptation of the Rev. John Blackburn, minister of that parish, where tt appears to have produced, as with us, complete audibility in every part of that, until now, inaudible church. This benefit to both hearer and preacher is obtained by the sounding- board, or we will rather call it reverberating frame, being formed to a par- ticular curve called parabolic, which is one of the conic sections, and so placed over the head of the speaker that his mouth comes to that part within its concavity, denominated its focus; by this means the voice is projected to the most distant part of the building with distinctness and force. Hereford Journal. AN AGED BOY.— There is now living with " mine host" at Scarthing- moor, a post- fiot;, who has attained the age of 75 years, well known by the name of " Old Rhodes," or « Old Roads," as brisk as a lad of 18. He has been on the road for 52 years, and during that time has never been prevented attending his post. It is calculated he has rode, upon an average, daily 31 miles ; consequently in that time he has gone over 588,380 miles. In 1828, during the Doncaster race week, he in one day ( 24 hours) rode five times from Scarthing- moor to Barnbymoor, a distance of 13 miles, making altogether 130 miles. INFANT AMBITION.— Last week a child, aged only 16 months, was left playing round the mother's door in the neighbourhood of Glastonbury, and all on a sudden, to her extreme alarm, was missing, and could no where be found. Calling a young woman, S servant in the family, to assist her ill the search, the " youthful aspirant" was found seated on the twenty- ninth round of a ladder placed against the back of the premises, while the roof was under repair! The poor mother was as much terrified at the discovery of the ambitious little rogue in such a situation, as when she first missed it; and, unable from her feelings to ascend the ladder, she was obliged to send up the servant girl to extricate it from its perilous position. We are sorry to understand that accounts have been received of the failure of another extensive cattle- dealing firm on the borders, by which many of our Perth and Forfarshire graziers will be deeply involved. The transactions of the house in question Were, we believe, principally with the Angus graziers, and a great amount of their paper is at present circulating in the neighbouring county.— Perth Courier. The following anecdote was related, says the Dumfries Courier, very lately in our hearing, by a distinguished aud far- travelled native of Dumfries- shire, whose name, if we durst give it, would be a sufficient voucher for iis authenticity. When the prince of conjurors, Herman Boar, was in the full blaze of bis reputation, and attracting crowded audiences every night, he was visited among others by the lafe eminent Professor Dngald Stewart. In place of joining a fashionable party, the philosopher sallied forth alone, and in passing through the lobby that led to the exhibition- room, lie felt— though the operation was exceedingly rapid— a baud pressing against his breast, right in the direction of his vest pocket. The idea of a cut- purse immediately sug- gested itself; but " it is more blessed to give than receive," and on overhauling his cash he was sur- prised to find that, so far from being poorer, he was a shilling richer than he had been before. Though a beggar might have been grateful for snch a pre- sent, the learned Professor viewed the matter iu a different light, and began to suspect that the cou- juror meant to confer on him the high honour of playing second fiddle during some of his feats of necromancy. Here, however, he managed to out- Herod Herod, or rather out- juggle the great jug- gler, by watching an opportunity and transferring unnoticed the identical shilling to the custody of a decent- looking countryman, who wore a flapped old- fashioned waistcoat, with pockets that seemed gaping for such an arnous. The exhibition com- menced, aud was conducted throughout with groat spirit. Amidst a great variety of tricks that astonished every one, and elicited the loudest bursts of applause, the performer produced a shil- ling, showed it to a gentleman, marked it in his preseuce, and then desired him to pop it into the mouth of a pocket- pistol that had been previously well primed and loaded. When this was done he held the pistol erect, challenging attention all the while, cocked the dog- head, drew the trigger, aud fired through a sky- light left open for the purpose. To all appearance Ihe shilling was far on its joamey to the moon, when the Sieur declared he had conjured it back; aud pointing to Professor Dugald Stewart, stated that it would be found iu his pocket. The philosopher smiled, and, after a little hesitation, pointed to the custodiar of the missing treasure. " Me !" said the rustic, when thus appealed to, " what hae I to do wi't? ye'r atf your eggs, neighbour, for auce, and if ye could only get at him, I'm jaloosiu ye wad come far better speed if ye riped tlie br. eeks o' the man o' the moon." This speech was followed with a roar of laughter; and the peals were renewed when the speaker, by dint of a little coaxing, thrust his palm into his pocket, aud to his own astonishment, if not con- sternation, produced a shilling iu every respect the counterpart of the other. This little incident lent a pleasing relief to the amusements of the evening, though the conjuror seemed rather embarrassed at first; and when the company began to retire, he took the Professor aside ai. d thanked him kindly for uot exposing him. THIMBLE RIG IN SMYRNA—" Gaming ( says Mac Farlane) is a vice in which all barbarians are found to delight; and the strict prohibition of Ihe Koran has not been sulficicnt to repel the passion from the breasts of the Turks. On the quay of Smyrna, and immediately under the windows of my friend Langdon's house, 1 used to observe daily a tribe of uncouth mountaineer splaying at a game with three thimbles and a pea ( the identical ambulatory mode of gambling resorted to on our race- courses). The table was kept by a Smyrniote Greek ; but the solemn Turk, Hadji- Bey, the chief of the police, was a partner in the concern; and thus not only free license to the infringement of the law s of the prophet was accorded, but the cat's paw, the Greek, was protected in the exercise of his calling against the violence of the losers. 1 have frequently been amused by observing a group of naked- legged devidjis, or camel- drivers, gathered round the attractive table; their wild, coal black eyes would almost start out of their head, as they followed the motions of the adroit Greek ; their hard, fixed features would brighten into an expression of triumph as they threw down their broad hand on the thimble,— sure the pea was there ; and perspiration would stand in globules on their forehead after their repeated failures and losses. All their Turkish and oriental apathy was not proofsto the excitement of play ; and their animation and expression was the more striking, from their general phlegmatic demeanour and the immobility of their countenances. I once saw a fellow of this class, who had just received several hundred piastres for some tigs he had brought to market, play at the thimble and pea until he had lost his lastasper; and he would then have staked his camels, if the Greek had not been afraid. Another evening I saw a swarthy devidji, who had been repeatedly foiled by the dex- terous ghiaour, and who bad lost his last stake, wax furious and rush on the Greek with bis drawn yataghan, swearing he was Satan himself, or he could not so deceive his eyes. Two stout Turks, covered with arms, the allies or agents of friend Hadji- Bey, always hovered by to protect the conjuror arid the money— they were there then, and seized and dis- armed the madman before he could do any mischief. This game of the pea is the only species of gambling in public I ever saw among the Turks."— Constan- tinople in 1828.

In the present experiment, stones of the usual size are laid on cast- iron frames of about two feet square, which are intended to prevent that sinking of the earthy foundation. Every device or invention to prevent this consequence has hitherto failed. Even in Fleet- street, superior as that pave- ment is admitted to be over all former attempts, there are already complaints of a failure of this description, notwithstanding all the care and labour bestowed iu the previous preparation of the founda- tion ; and, although we think the present experi- ment promises well, we cannot forget that a pavement of cast- iron itself, on precisely the same principle, failed altogether, and sunk in masses, some years ago, at the corner of Lausdow n- place, in Guilford- street, Itussell- square. We shall, how- ever, wateh the effect of this experiment, and be among the first to rejoice in its success — London Paper. An extraordinary instance of good fortune has attended a man who keeps a petty broker's shop in an obscure situation in Mary- le- bone. A short time since he attended a sale of decayed antique furniture, amongst which were several old pictures. These pictures were oil paintings, not framed, but merely fixed On what is called a straining canvas. They had been inspected by supposed judges previous to the sale, who estimated the whole, ten in number, at £ 5. They were accordingly put in at that sum on the day of sale, and sold to the broker for £ 5. 12s. Since the purchase they have been inspected by the lovers of virtu, and by them are estimated at £ 2000. They prove to be ten of the Caiwirs by Titian. FURTHER RAILWAY EXPERIMENTS.— In the ori- ginal conditions issued by the Directors, it was re- quired that the carriages should draw three times their own weight, and proceed at the rate of ten miles an hour, and this was at first thought to be a consi- derable task. Subsequent experiments have, how- ever, proved that this is nothing in comparison with what the carriages really can perform. It was stated last week, that the prize engine, the Rocket, bad drawn twenty tons at the rate of from eighteen to twenty miles an hour, and since then it has drawn the still more astonishing load of forty tons, or ten times its own weight, at the rate of fourteen miles an hour, Which is by far the greatest task that has ever been performed by a locomotive carriage. Tbis feat it performed on Thursday last. At the commencement of the experiments a load of thirty- three tons was attached to the carriage, which it drew along for several miles at the rate of 13^ miles an hour. An additional load was then put on, which raised it to 37s tons, and with this it proceeded at the rate of 13J miles an hour, its speed constantly increasing as it got into practice. The enormous load of forty- two tons was then put on, and with this it proceeded at the average rate of fourteen miles an hour! Another class of experiments was afterwards tried, in order to ascertain with what load, and at what rate, it would ascend the inclined plane at Huyfon, when it was found that with eleven tons it travelled the mile and a half in five minutes and thirty. five seconds, or sixteen miles an hour, and with sixteen tons in seven minutes and ten seconds, or twelve miles and a half an hour. These performances far exceed the warmest anticipations of the friends of locomotive carriages, and afford additional and incontestible evidence of their superiority to all the modes of conveyance which at present exist— A man of the name of Cann was examined on Thursday, at the New liailey, Man- chester, on a charge of wilfully attempting to over- turn a locomotive carriage on the railway, by placing pieces of timber on the road, and it having been fully substantiated by evidence, be was ordered to pay a fine of £ 5. The defendant, however, not being prepared with money, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. WALL TREES.— A correspondent of the Spectator in the Netherlands, gives the following account of the management of wall- trees iu Holland. It is in the form of a conversation with a Dutchman. " You in England," said the Dutch gardener," nail your fruit trees to a brick wall by means of selvages of cloth ; and you invent patent composition nails as the acme of perfection. Now, mark the consequence: your fruit must swell all round alike, but its fruit- spur is kept close to the wall; the fruit pressed against the wall acquires a hard scurfy scab, that never softens, or acquires an eatable quality. This you call wall burnt, or some such term. Again, in two or three years your nicely jointed brick wall becomes a riddle of nail holes, most admirably adapted to be the nest of every insect that by instinct places them near the food fit for the young progeny. Then again, the driving the nails and replacing the cloth bauds in a long wall occupies the assistant for two months in the spring. Mark our simple plan. I plant into the ground, within a few inches of the foot of the wall, willow or hazle rods peeled, at the distance of eight inches from one another, ftttd each reaching to the top of the wall. Thin long laths of deal are laid across, and the rods nailed to them, the lath being between the rods and the wall. A similar line of laths is placed along the foot of the willow rods. A few hoops of iron are nailed into the wall, to prevent the frame, work,' if it may be so termed, from shifting. Then the branches of the fruit trees are tied to each upright rod, simply by a string of Russian bass matting. Now this is done more rapidly than can be performed by your man of nails and cloth and hammer. The fruit has rootn to swell all round no vermin harbours in the wall; and the gardener can preserve his trees more effectually, and kee|: the main stock in a more healthy state, than when compressed with its boughs against the wall. The rods need not be thicker than a man's thumb REWARDS OF PHYSICIANS.— Erasistratus, son of Aristotle's daughter, having cured King Antiochus received a hundred talents from Ptolotny, father of that prince, which was equal to fifteen thousand pouuds of our currency. Pliny lias given this account, and also has informed us that Cassio, Cal piano Aruntio, Albutio, and Rubio, who were sue cessively state physicians at ltome, received two hundred and fifty sesterses annually, a sum equal t > £ 1562 British. Thaddseus, a Florentine, would not leave the city for less than fifty crowns a day Having been sent for to Rome to cure Pope Ho norms, he returned home with ten thousand clowns for a short attendance Phalaris gave Polyeletus A. ur vials of pure gold, two craters of silver of ancient workmanship, ten pair of Therrclian cups, and fifty thousand attic crowns. He also presented him with the salaries of admiral and captain of the army, and complimented him farther by observing, " he was not able to pay what the obligation of curing him merited." When Melampus had cured the daughters of Prsetus, the King of the Argives, he received a third of that monarch's kingdom, a third was also bestowed ou his brother, and « ach was presented with one of the princesses in niar- riatve. The Great Mogul, who reigned in India about the seventeenth century, allowed his physi- cian 100,000 crowns a year. Nysa Mollucus, King of India, gave Garcias, a Portuguese physician, 12,000 pardors, which were then estimated equi- valent to as many ounces of silver. Philip 11. of Spain gave 6,000 crowns, for a short attendance, to his physician, Vallesius. Louis XL of France gave his physician, Coctiere, 10,000 Cl owns a month, the bishopric of Amiens ( which contained 498 parishes) to his nephew, and many offices of profit to himself and his friends. Numerous other examples of the immense rewards bestowed on physicians might be mentioned ; but allusion shall be made only to those common in this country. During the early part of the last reign the state physicians, sergeant sur- geons, and surgeons, received £ 2000 a- yoar each ; and there is the strongest presumption that the present state medical officers are as amply, if not eveu more bounteously, rewarded by the most magnificent and magnanimous monarch who has swayed the British sceptre since the days of Alfred. It is impossible to estimate the immense emoluments conferred by the private generosity of the sove- reign, and ihe patronage necessarily attached to the distinguished station of court physician and surgeon. Oil a recent occasion his Majesty lias presented Mr. O'Reilly, surgeon at Windsor, with 1000 guineas for a few days' attendance, and was graciously pleased to appoint liitn his domestic surgeon, at a salary of £ 2000 a- year.— Medical Journal. EXPULSION OF THE TAPE- WORM.— The eflicacy of the pomegranate in the expulsion of the tape- worm has lately been shown in the case of a person who, after having taken two ounces of the decoction of pomegranate root, at the end of an hour and three quarters expelled at once, and almost without any griping pain, 12 feet of a tenia, furnished with the head.— Journal General. FIRE CAUSED BY VITRIOL— From the following extract of a letter from Capt. Hesse, dated ou board the brig Ripley, Arica, July 13, it would appear that his vessel had nearly been destroyed by firef caused by vitriol which had been shipped at Liver* pool. We hear that it is the intention of the owner ® of the Ripley to publish the names of the shippers! of the vitriol, as soon as they have ascertained theirt beyond doubt:—•" On the 8th inst. at half- past one! o'clock, p. m. the second mate, on going down intd the half- deck, observed the after- hold on fire. Wd immediately had recourse to our fir, e buckets, hoisted a signal of distress, and turned over thei cargo with the greatest despatch, where ( thauk God !) we at last caught a case in flames, the smoke of which was so suffocating that we were nearly stifled; but at last, by carrying it iu our arms to the hatchway, we succeeded iu getting it upon tha deck, and threw the case overboard. The contents were, I believe, vitriol, and marked 1 With great care,' or something of the same nature. Had this oc. urred at sea, we must have been burnt to the water's edge. The moment our signal was hoisted the boats and crew of the Colombian, Capt. Geddesj and the American ship Florida, Capt. lrp, were im- mediately on board, with plenty of buckets, and gave us every assistance in hoisting our cargo on deck. I am happy to conclude by stating that the brig and cargo have received no damage." A brass plate, with the following inscription, affixed to the wall of the private baths ill Stall- street, Bath, has been recently cleaned, having long escaped observation :— All poor persons not being con- veniently able to mainteyne themselves, and rosort- inge lo Bath for cure of their diseases or infirmities, may take notice that there ought to be a Physitian appointed and nominated yearely by ye Maior and Aldermen, who is to give his best advice from time to time to ye said poor persons, without any reward from them, there being a salarie provided to that purpose by the charitable gyft of Dame Elizabeth vi- Countess Scudamore.*' STONE- CUTTING BY MACHINERY.— Mr. Milne, architect in this city, has been recently making trials of a curious machine contrived by him for hewing stones by the power of a steam- engine, and, from the specimens we have seen, with every prospect of success. It consists of a great number of chisels or cutters arranged in a spiral form round the circum- ference of a large and very strong cast iron cylinder, or drum. This being whirled with great rapidity by the engine, and the cutters along with it, the stone is at the same time brought into contact with these, and drawn with a slow motion under them. By this means the cutlers, urged by the irresistible power of the engine, which is one of six or seven horses, literally shave a thin and regular slice off the stone every time it is drawn under the cylinder. Hitherto Mr. Milne has only tried it on some of the softer freestones in this neighbourhood, and it is astonishing, considering that it is but the first attempt, with what regularity and smoothness the surface of the stone is moulded, so that one considerably larger than the lintel of a door may, in a few minutes, be reduced from a shapeless mass into the most regular cube or oblong. In the first trials it is curious to remark, the cylinder had too rapid a motion, and such was the effect of the violent action on the stone, that a continued stream of fire issued from Ihe cutters and the stone, and such a thick cloud of dust ascended at the same time into the sky as astonished the whole neighbourhood. The rapidity of the motion having been afterwards lessened, the operation now goes on more smoothly and with regular effect; so that we have no doubt, by a little experience in the construc- tion and management of this new and singular appli- cation of mechanical power, the ingenious inventor may be able to execute by it even the regular mould- ings of architecture. Mr. Milne has already secured the exclusive application by a patent— Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE PRETENDED FRIEND.— He that professes himself thy open enemy arms thee against the evil he means thee ; but he that dissembles himself thy secret friend strikes beyond caution, and wounds above cure. From the first thou mayest deliver thyself; from the last, good Lord deliver thee.— Quarles. Mr. Huskisson, the father of the modem school of Theorists, the redoubted Champion of the Economists, has shewn himself not infallible; and as to his con- sistency, peruse, gentle reader, the following extract of a speech to his constituents in 1814, and judge what were once bis sentiments, and compare them with his more modern doctrines, and then say, if tlie nation is to be ruined to save the character of an Administration from the charge of apostacy, or that it is to be allowed to persevere in error for the sake of consistent principles. On the subject of Corn Laws and Agricultural Produce, Mr. Huskisson then enter, tained the following sentiments— and they are those to which the nation must revevt, if we are ever again to be a prosperous and contented people. Mr. Hus- kisson, in the first place, dwells in the most energetic language on the primary importance of securing inferno? prosperity, and on the mad folly of relying on foreign supplies for our subsistence. He then proceeds as follows :— There is no effectual security, either in peace or war, against the frequent return of scarcity approach- ing to starvation, such as of late years we have experienced, but in our maintaining Ourselves habitually independent of foreign supplies. Let the bread we eat be the produce of corn grown among ourselves, and for one I care not how cheap it is, the cheaper the better. But in order to ensure a continuance of that cheapness and that sufficiency, we must ensure to our own growers that protection against foreign import which lias produced these blessings, and by which alone they can be permanently maintained. The history of the country for the last 170 years, clearly proves on the one hand, that cheapness produced by foreign import is the sure forerunner of scarcity; and on the other, that a steady home supply is the only safe founda- tion of steady and moderate prices! During upwards of 100 years, up to the year 1765, the import of foreign corn was restrained by very high duties. What was the state of the country during those hundred years ? That in ordinary seasons our own growth supplied a stock of com fully ample for our own consumption ; and in abundant seasons wo had some to spare, which we exported ; that in bad seasons we felt no want and were under no appre- hension ; that the price of corn seldom varied more than a few shillings per quarter; that we had no years of inordinate gain to the farmer, and of starva- tion to the consumer; that prices, instead of rising from year to year, were gradually diminishing; so that at the end of this long period of a century, during which we never imported foreign corn, prices were actually lower than at the beginning of it. Would to God we had continued in this salutary system '. But, in 1765 it was most unfortunately abandoned. What has been the result? Precisely the reverse of the former system."
