HOLYHEAD ROAD' The Spaniards in Mexico i their Surrender by Capitulation Al last we have to announce to obr readers the ihnovivent of this extraordinary, we might almost say infatuated, attempt to rcduce seven millions of people to subjection, bv a detachment of four or five thou and men Barradas, the commanding officer of the Spaniards, if to be blamed, as he probably was, for lirging so desperate an enterprise, performed, in the endeavour to give it effect, all that could be expected with such insufficient means— occupying at. Tampico a post well suited for his object, and maintaining it during six Weeks in a most unhealthy season. The failure of the Spaniards is chargeable neither on tl. e Commander, nor, as far. as weare aware, on histroops, but on the imhecilles at Madrid and the Havannah, who authorised this most singular expedition, and probably flattered Barradas and his unfortunate followers with the hnpe of receiving reinforcements. Tired of expecting those illusory aids, baffled in the hope of co- operation in Ihe country, and seeing their ranks daily thinntd by disease, while those of the Mexicans were strengthened by successive arrivals from the interior, the Spaniards at last embraced the <> uly prudent alternative in their powes, that of treating fori the preservation of their lives before it was too late. The Trealy took place on the 11th September, qnd the Spaniards engaged to re- embark immediately for tire Havannah, receiving a guarantee from the Mexicans for their personal safety-. € tie galopiau ' iournal. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1829. 1' Li'o. lic Notice having been given of an intended Vindication to. Parliament to change the line of the trish Road through the cbunty of Salop, so as to miss entirely the town and neighbourhood of Shrewsbury, a meeting of the inhabitants of this town and its vicinity, convened by fhe Mayor, pursuant to the requisition inserted in our last Journal, took place yesterday in the Town Hall, and was most respectably anil very numerously attended. R. A. Si. AN EY, Es^. M P. said, he had been re- quested by his colleague, Mr. C'orbett, to state the business for which tin* meeting was assembled. Every one would acknowledge the great importance, not only in a pecuniary point of viey, but as bearing upon the intelligence and convenience of the district, of pre? erving through Shrewsbury the line of road ami of . travelling which it had for so many years possessed. If that change in the line were made, of which public notice had been given, three classes of travellers would be taken from Shrewsbury : the first vrfere those that travelled at present through Shrews- bury to Ireland ; the second were those that went through Shrewsbury as tourists to Wales; and the third w ere those who now come from the northern parts of England, through Shrewsbury, on their route to Cheltenham, Bath, and Malvern, ' llie Hon. Gentleman then went into a detail of the tilimbers of persons passing from Dublin to Holyhead in several years past : and observed that these had latterly decreased in consequence of the route from Dublin to Liverpool beihg more generally followed by some Classes, ill consequence of the increased facility and . reduced expense of the passage between those places : and this was one reason why there did not exist such grounds for carrying into effect the expensive altera- tion proposed by the new line. So far from there existing any great and imperious necessity for tlte change, that might induce all parties to acquiesce in it, the gain to be obtained by it was exceedingly small, w bile the expense of it would be excessively gfcat. By making this new line of twenty- seven miles at a vast expense, through thinly- peopled districts of the County, six miles would, it was said, be saved, which was not half an hour mail- time, and would cost nearly £[ 00,000 of public money: while, he was informed, that by judicious improvements and alterations, so much could be gained on the Shrewsbury line as would reduce the comparative difference of the pre evince their anxious desire to do justice to the rights of others. A good deal of desultory Conversation followed, re- lative toith'e appointment of the Committee, and as to the promotion of an immediate subscription, which latter object was strongly impressed by Mr. PEXHAM and Archdeacon BL'TI. KK.— WI LLI) YD, Esq. of Aston, said he was authorised to say, Sir ROWLAND HII. L would support the Views of the meeting; and PANTON CORDETT, Esq. M. P. gave an assurance to the Safne effect.— It was also announced that the Vistount CLIVE would support the views of the meeting. '" J EDWARD MMKLESION, Esq. and JosrPit SUEP- PARI>, Esq. Called the attention of the meeting to the obstructions and nuisances that Were suffered to exist in the principal thoroughfares of the town, and in the suburb of pronkwell, particularly ( as the latler gen- tleman observed) on Fair and Market days, by which not only the mails, but travellers were continually impelled ; and, ou the motion of Col. F. K. LEIGH- TON, Mr. Shcppard was appointed one of the Com- mittee. i' • J. C. PELHAM, Esq. said, the obstructions arising from holding the fairs in the streets had long occu- pied much of his own attention and that of others; and he should be very happy to communicate with Mr. Siteppard with a view to the proposal and adop- tion of some plan by which these obstructions could be permanently removed. Mr. PELHAM then stated, that he should place his name oil the subscription list, towards carrying into effect the intentions of the present meeting, for £ 40, as his first subscription: and after this list had been handed round and signed by some of the gentle- men present, and thanks had- been voted to the Mayor and to Mr. Kenyon, tlie meeting dispersed. To the Editor of ihe Salopian Journal, StR,— Seeing in youf last Paper, that the inscrip- tion on the stone for Captain JOHN BEN BOW has been renovated, ( which is certainly a very meritorious act, by whomsoever done,) and the concluding part of the paragraph, " that it will be a stimulus to the erection of some Memorial to our gallant townsman, Admiral BENBOW, as suggested in a former Paper," 1 shall be glad of information of what is going on in respect to tlmt business; I hope and trust it will not vanish in air, as former projects have done. I STREET ACT.— A question of considerable im- portance to persons owning or occupying rateable property in this town within the operation of the Street Act, was raised before the Magistrates on Monday last.— Several poor persons ( some of them actually paupers) were summoned to pay the current rate and arrears extending in some cases five years back : on which the landlord of several of the parties summoned, stated that in his opinion there was nothing in the Act Under which the rates were granted and levied, that would authorise the Magistrates to issue a warrant of distress for any arrcar: that the Act contemplated and warranted inly the levying and collecting the rate annually, in the strictest sense, It i such word as arreaf or arrears being contained in it: that, in his opinion, the accumulation of arrears was not intended by that Act to be acquiesced in ; and, that in fact, that if rates Were suffered to lapse, that Act would not authorise the issuing of any war- rant of distress for their recovery.— It was proved that the several parties summoned were in arrear to the amount demanded: and they were informed, that warrants of distress for the recovery of the sum c'aimcd would be issued, if the Magistrates should, a'ter taking an opinion on the point, be satisfied that they were empowered to give their official sanction to that course of proceeding.— It should be observed, as explanatory of the circumstances of these cases, that as the landlord's third part of any rate under this Act can only be collected through the medium of the lenant, unless the arrears can thus be recovered, no demand for the arrears of the landlord's third of the rate on any of the premises occupied by these or other parties similarly situated can be made. A Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors was h" ld in this town on Friday last before T. B. Bowed, Esq.; when John Cop land, Thomas Howetts, Thomas Vaughan, and Edward Smoat, were heard upon their several petitions, and declared to he entitled to their discharge forthwith. j icob Smith was ordered to be detained until certain books of accounts were filed with the Clerk of the Peace, on which he is to be discharged. William Cooper was directed and permitted to j amend his schedule during the sitting of the Court, j and was then ordered to lie discharged, j The discharge of Rees Tkomas liees was opposed | by one of his creditors, Mr. Moore, solicitor, in person.

Mr. CLTARLrs, the celebrated Ventriloquist and Professor of Recreative Philosophy, is to make his first appearance in Shrewsbury, at the Lion Inn Assembly Rooms, To- morrow ( Thursday) evening ! Ve insert the following critique from tire Manchester Herald:—" We, too, went to see Mr. Charles's novel npd ingenious feats at the Exchange Rooms. After witnessing some of which, we certainly cannot wonder at the credulity of our forefathers, during Ihe dark ages, in reposing implicit faith in the pretensions of necromancers and magicians : the incredible dexterity and neatness with which Mr. Charles goes through his various performances ( and often with a good deal of humour) must be seen to be duly appreciated.— Mr. Charles concludes his performances with his scenes and illusions in ventriloquism, and appears to h a complete adept in that art. He throws his voice hfnealh the floor, behind the walls, into the cciling, up the chimney, and even into the stomach of some individuals present." From this last process the art derives its name ; and the experiment seems to have eyen a more ludicrous effect upon the subject of it than upon the rest of the audience.— We must acknowledge, that ( like a celebrated apparition of old) th » y make us 1 fools of nature,' and ' Sliake. our disposition 4 Willi thoughts beyond the reaches of our Souls J' " The Shropshire Hounds will meet on Wednesday, l) ee. 2d Ciessage Village Friday, Dee 4lli Woodhouse Sptnrllay, Dec.

Tnrpurley Saturday, Dec. 12th C'ulveley Hull ^ t half past ten, this new line : and if a firm and united stand were made on this occasion, they must retain that great and important line of communication which Shrewsbury now possessed. The Hon. Gentleman concludcd by observing, that he had been in communication with, among other gentlemen, one of great local knowledge and experience— he meant Mr. Kenyon: and in con- sequence several resolutions had been framed, which he should now beg leave to submit to the meeting.— [ The resolutions were . then read by Mr. Slaney, and were, after the discussion had taken place upon them, and they had received some alterations, agreed to in the form and order inserted in the advertisement.] In answer to an observation made by EDWARD MUCKLESTON, Esq. J. C. PELHAM, Esq. said there was nothing in the Articles of Union which pledged the Government to sanction any such course as that now proposed by the Holyhead Road Commissioners. Mr. MUCKI. I STON said he merely wished to ascer- tain that point; because, after the steps that had beep taken, it seemed evident they should have to encounter the whole strength of the Holyhead Road Commissioners. The Hon. THOMAS KENYON said, for one, lie could answer that that would not be the case. He, Commissioner, should. oppose the proposed alteration by every means in his power, as uncalled for, unjust, and a wanton and profligate expenditure of the public money. When Shrewsbury was, as he might term it, opened to the Holyhead Road, it was done under what was called the Capel Curig Road Act, by which the line was diverted from the route through Conway. By the exertions of the late Mr. Robert Lawrencc, considerable sums were raised in Shrewsbury and in Shropshire towards the formation of that road: these sums, it was true, were secured on the tolls; but they bad never been advanced, if the parties had not believed that the road on this line was to be permanent. Another Act was subse- quently obtained, by virtue of which ( lie tolls between Shrewsbury and Chirk were advanced, and £ 2596 additional debt secured on the tolls in that distance. It was true that these sums might, by an arbitrary enactment, be removed to the new line; but would that be just? It was neither meeting the evident intention of those by whom the money was advanced, which was on the belief that the road would be kept on its present line, nor would the security be so good. Besides, could it be supposed, that the Gentle men who were the original Commissioners on the line of road would have surrendered their trust into the hands of the Parliamentary Commissioners, if they could have believed that the present line would ever have been abandoned. Was it likely that the Hon. Baronet who represented the county of Denbigh, would have introduced, as he had done, the other Hon. Bart, who now stood at the head of the Holy- head Road Commissioners, to the original Trustees, in arranging that matter, if he could have su pposed, for instance, that Oswestry was to have been left out of the line? He ( Mr. Kenyon) having proved that there had been a breach of good faith in the matter, would iiow go further, and assert that the alteration was totally unnecessary. On this point the Hon Gentleman went into some statements which proved that the inhabitants of Dublin had at present the same length of time for answering letters as was possessed by the inhabitants of London, namely, about six hours; and that even if more time were wanted, the mail could be accelerated, and various improve- ments made on the present line, which would effect this object: and he would maintain that the present road was amply sufficient to effect every object. Mr. Telford himself had formerly objected to adopt- ing a line which should avoid the principal towns : and lie ( Mr. Kenyon) bad the authority of the Hon. Bart, who took such a prominent part in the business, for saying, that the Shrewsbury line could he im proved so as to obviate the necessity for the adoption of any other route. Perhaps the Hon. Bart, thought he ( Mr. Kenyon) burnt all bis letters : but it was not • o. Mr. Kenyon here produced a letter from the Hon. Bart in which the latter said he bad been at Ellesmere and on the line proposed from Chirk in that direction towards Wellington; but be was of opinion, that if some portions of the road between Wellington and Shrewsbury were widened, ( which Mr. Kenyon observed had been done,) and if Overley Hill were avoided and some other improvements made,, ( which Mr. Kenyon said would be done,) the Shrewsbury line could be made quite sufficient to meet the wishes of the Commissioners and the public : and ( continued Mr. Kenyon) if the Hon. Bart, would only give that countenance to the Shrewsbury line, which he was affording to the new project, all that was wanted would very soon lie effected. J. C. PELHAM, Esq. M. P. in an address which re- ceived the most marked attention, observed that the present was a question that involved the greatest con- siderations ; for if the proposed line were adopted, it would not merely affect the places on the present route from Wellington through Shrewsbury and Oswestry, lint it would go to the derangement of the whole traffick and intercourse of the county : and the proposed line would, he thought, be as great a burden eventually to the properly of those whose lands it would pass through, as it would be an injury to that district which its formation was intended to supersede in the great travelling route. He was sure that he might with safety assert, the inhabitants of Shrews- bury required only that strict justice should be done to them on the principle that they would wish it to be extended to others: and as the intention in the new project was to diverge at a distance of only eleven miles from Shrewsbury, it was a matter of investiga tion most essential to their consideration, what im- provements could be made on the existing line that would obviate the pretence set up for the proposed change. The town of Shrewsbury bad a right to be heard on the question ; and as lie thought the county also was alive to it, he hoped a Committee would be appointed that would diligently follow up its duties, by collecting such information as, when embodied in the form of a Report, would be calculated to induce that aid from the gentlemen of the county generally which he thought they would be anxious to afford He wished it to go forth, that while the inhabitants of Shrewsbury were willing to assert their own just rights, they wished to do so on such grounds as would Nelson, the sculptor, who proposed to erect the same, and place it in an appropriate place 111 St. Mary's Church, for which free admission Was ob- tained from the Minister, the Rev. J. B. Blikeway ; yet after all it fell to the ground, and I think through the tardiness of Nelson the sculptor. I hope, how- ever, the present opportunity will not he lostsight of, and a report of the progress of the Subscription made public, as I have not a doubt but sufficient will be added to accomplish the same. My guinea shall he added to the list; and I trust there are few true Salopians but will be proud to add their mile to commemorate the name of BENBOW. AN OCFAGENARIAN. Wov. 30, 1820. Our Theatre closed 011 Monday evening, with the Benefit of Mr. Cassup, when we were pleased to see a very crowded audience, who loudly testified the pleasure they derived from the entertainments of the evening. Those performers, whose talents and exer- tions during the season have rendered them favourites with the public, were greeted with the plaudits of their admirers; and Mr. Bennett must have been highly gratified with his reception— the whole house rising to cheer him 011 presenting himself to thank and take farewell of his patrons. His address was characterized by eloquence nnd feeling, and the animating applause throughout, particularly on the prospect he held out of being enabled, by next season, to meet his friends in a new Theatre, is a strong proof that he hears with him the good wishes of the inhabitants of Shrewsbury, and that when this one thing wanted is supplied, his liberal and spirited management will be fully appreciated and amply rewarded. A Mr. William Marshall, who in a fit of intoxica- tion stabbed Mr. Jesse, a respectable surgeon of Man- chester, and brutally ill- treated a watchman, on the night of Sunday week, has been committed to Lan- caster to take his trial on the capital charge of attempting to murder Mr. Jesse. The case of the watchman was not gone into, but was reserved for future prosecution, should the capital offence not be substantiated: the poor fellow was so dreadfully abused, that he is only just declared out of danger. This is the third commitment from Manchester for the capital offence of murder, or attempt to murder, within the last nine or ten days. MORFE COURSING MEETING. Nov. 26 & 27, 1829.

JENKINS, At the White Lion Inn, in Whitchurch nforesaid, on Friday, the 18th Day of December inst. at five o* Clock in the Afternoon, subject to Conditions then produced; ALL that capital M E S S U A G E or Dwelling House ( formerly in two), with the Yard, Garden, Workshop, and other Appurtenances thereunto belonging, situate, lying", and being in Mill Sneet, and opposite the Lord Hill Public House, in Whitchurch aforesaid, and now in the Occupation of Mary Bishop or her Undertenants. The above Property adjoins the Canal Wharf, and is very eligibly situate for Building Purposes. For fuither Particulars apply to. Mr. THOMAS DIOKIN BROWNE, Solicitor, Wem J 01 THE ACCTION- BKR, Ellesmere. This great work is how almost finished, and vvill in a few months be opened to the public. Along the whole line the ground is not only marked otit. but broken up., and on by far the greatest p; trt. of it the work is already finished. In several places the permanent road extends for two, three, aiid even four miles, and all that now remains to be done is^ tO gi^ e the finish to a few of the great works, whic^ i are already nearly completed. The state of the weat'fret^' during the last six weeks lias bfecn such as^ greatlv to retard the operations of the workmen, but not- withstanding these difficulties the whole of" the line of road will be completed in a few months. - TlW- under- taking so greatly surpasses every thing of the kind that has been attempted iii this country beftire, as to be almost unique. Viewed merely lis an experiment it is one of the most important and interesting that has ever been tried, and its success or failure will decide whether or. not railways shall be adopted in all parts of the country. If this experinhent should fail., it will give a death- blow to all similar schemes ^ and if it should succeed, it will give to them an impulse, which will cause railways in a few years to be spread over the w'hole surface of the kingdom. The road across Clint Moss is already finished, wilh the. exception of about a hundred yards on the eastern or Manchester endj being the part, of tlie line of which the greatest fears were entertained. It Was stated before parliament , that it was impossible, from the nature of the ground, . to form a road over the Moss that would stand; and although it is believed that those p. edictions will be signally falsified, yet it is not to b « wondered that they Should have been uttered. In constructing the railway, the'iiighe^ t part of the- Moss has been chosen, so that the moisture will be partly carried off by the d^ CTivitV of the ground. On both\ sides of the road deep ; Hrtd wide trenches have been dug, to assist in draining off the water. By this means that part of the Moss over which t} ie road passes has been rendered dry and firm, and upon it the road has been constructed in the following mannerFirst a layer of gravel, from a foot, and a half to two feet in thickness, was placed upon tlie drained moss. Above this, branches of tiers and ling or heath were spread across that part of the road which is traversed by the railway. On these was placed a layer of dry sarid, covering the wicker work, and supporting the sleepers as they are called, that is, pieces of wood over which the iron raijs pass, and to which they are fixed. The sleepers are about- a yard from. each other, and are introduced to deaden the vibration produced by the passing of th'e carriages over the railway. The road thus con- structed is so firm, that waggons carrying from five to six tons of gravel and clay have now parsed across daily, and at all hours of the day, for several months, without producing any impressiou whatever. After passing oyer Cfciat Moss, the next object of interest on the railway is the Bury- lane embankments which is about half or three quarters of a mile ni length, and is constructed entirely of. turf dug- frotR the Moss, the road on it being, formed in. the sam?, f manner as that described above. It is not tquftfe" finished, and workmen are now occil|) ie< 3 in. laying5 branches of trees across the unfinished parts. ; This*' embankment is carried over Glazebrook, a streanV almost deserving the name of a river, by a bridge of thirty feet span, raised about thirty- five or thirty- si^' feet above the level of the water. ISear Browsley bri Ige, the Ken yon and Leigh railway, by means of which the towns of Leigh and Bolton, and ultimately, perha)> s, those Of Bury and Rochdale, will be joined to the Manchester and Liverpool line, is to commence. At this point also is obtained the first distinct view # f the great Kenyon cutting or excavation, which if not the most strikirtg is certainly the most arduous part of this great undertaking. It extends four miles in lengtli, and when seen from Browsley bridge appears to be as straight as an arrow. The greatest depth is forty- two feet, and some idea may be formed of the extent of this work from the fact that it has been necessary to cut away seven hundred and eighty thousand cubic yards of earth ! This part of the work* like all the rest, has been greatly impeded by the state of the weather; the workmen are, however, labouring at it, literally, both day and night, and it will soon be finished. Upwards of Ihree miles of it are completed already, and the rest of it is about half done. The excavation is, as before stated, four miles in length, and it extends from Bury4ane embankment to near the town of Newton, being in its course crossed by seven bridges. At the termination of this embankment, and a few hundred yards south of the town of Newton, is a bridge upwards of one hundred and thirty feet in length, and crossing the road and a mill stream, by means of four arches, each of thirty feet span,; near this bridge is Newton Hall, formerly the seat of the Legli family. The embank- ment leading to the bridge fs erected on What was formerly a complete swamp. The bridge is a re- markably fine piece of masonry, apd only inferior in strength and elegance to the Viaduct across the Sankey caftal and Newton river. The first distinct view of the Sankey Viaduct, obtained after quitting Newton, is from the race- ground ; and seen from this point it is one of the lightest and most elegant pieces of architecture ever erected. When viewed, however, from the race- ground, it appears remarkable for nothing but its lightness and elegance ; the proportions of the different parts are so well preserved, that neither the magnitude nor the massiveneiss of the whole is sufficiently estimated at a distance. It is only when the spectator quits the point of the road where ithe first view is obtained, and descends along the banks of the canal towards the foot Of the viaduct, tlult a correct idea is formed of its magnitude. As he approaches it he begins to discover the massiven^ sfe of the piers, the boldness of the arches, and the strength and solidity of the masonry ; and when he arrives at its base he stands perfectly astonished at its stupend- ous height and its immense extent. The arches, 1 of which there are nine, each possessing a span of 50 feet, rise 70 feet above the level of the valley, and are twenty feet higher than those of Waterloo bridge. Each of the eight piers, on which the bridge rests, is ten feet in thickness, and its total length, including the abutments, is 570 feet; the Sankey canal and the river pass under two of its arches. The arches of the viaduct are all closed, and in a few weeks the parapet walls will be raised, and the whole of the work finished. The stone and brick- work are remarkably strong and fine, and seem likely to stand for ages.' Beyond the Newton valley, and approaching Liver- pool, the railway passes along a high embankment, raised to the same level with the viaduct; this is not yet finished, having been greatly impeded by the rains. Further on the road crosses Parr Moss, and from that point to the Rainhill bridge it is completed, and as level as a bowling green. Beyond this place the Manchester and Liverpool road passes over the railway, by means of what is called by the learned the elliptical, and by the vulgar the skew bridge: the bridge is remarkable not so much for its extent as for the peculiarity of the principle on which it is constructed ; there are two key- stones, and these, instead of passing from one end of the bridge to the other in a straight line, pass in a slanting direction into the sides; this principle has never, we under stand, been before applied to any bridge of con- siderable extent. It appears, however, to have answered completely in this; the bridge is a very fine piece of masonry. Beyond this bridge commences the Rainhill inclined plane, which is a mile and a half in length. The ascent is very gradual, and it is not improbable but that locomotive engines may be employed to draw carriages up it, although the stationary ones were originally intended to be used. At the foot of the inclined plane commences the great embankment called the Broad Green embankment, reaching almost to Olive Mount. This embankment, which has been formed principally from the earth excavated at the Mount, and on which the locomotive engine has been at work for some time, is the highest on the line, rising at the centre upwards of seventy feet above the level of the surrounding country. The cutting at Olive Mount, though much inferior in length to the Kenyon excavation, is perhaps a greater, or at least a more arduous work, inasmuch as it is, for a conr siderable distance, cut through the solid rock, while the other has been formed by excavating the ear tis and clay. It is believed that it is by far the greatest cutting through the solid rock that has ever been formed in this, or perhaps in any other country. The length of that part which passes through the rock is a mile and a quarter, and the greatest depth of the excavation sixty- eight, feet. The appearance of this work, when viewed from the bridge in the centre, is particularly striking, and gives some idea of the prodigious labour that must have been employed in cutting away the rock. The view from the bottom of the excavation is also very remarkable. At the sid- « | The Magistrates and landed proprietors of Ros. of the rock it rises perpendicularly tothe height ofj Common assembled at Elpl. in on Thursday, Lord ^ 4 * ' ' ^ liortqii in the chair. The Lord Bishop of Elphlft and the EI { in. Gen. King, M.

Mr. Fitzstephen French, Mr, Kelly, of Cargins, and O'Connor Don, opposed the suggested application to government, and contended that only part of the county was dis turbed. A detail of several outrages was given to the meeting* and a di^ isipn took place, when his Lordship's resolutions were carried by a majority of 20 to 19. Those two resolutions state the insubordination which exists and the outrages that are perpetrated in the county, and that nothing less than an application to government f6rvthe Insurrec- tion Act will suppress the evil spirit which prevails. — lAmcrick Chronicle.

MOST TRAGICAL EVENT. [ From the IIull Packet of Tuesday ] An occurrence of a most tragical description, we regret to state, during the whole of yesterday formed ( He topic Of discussion amongst al| classes in this town, and excited a sensation of horror, from the melancholy details it involved, of the deepest and mostawful character. Language iswholly inadequate to depict the effect of this sad catastrophe on the feelings of our fellow townspeople, of every rank; and we shall therefore confine ourselves, without further remark, to a mere detail of the facts of the case, as disclosed at an inquest held yesterday, at the Mansion- house, upon the remains of the two unfortunate individuals, w- hose dreadful fate has made an impres- sion in this vicinity that can never be effaced, and the Circumstances attending whose deaths, even exceed in horror the lamentable tragedy enactcd in this town some 20 years since.—• To enable our readers to understand the evidence adduced at the inquest in this case, it is merely necessary to state here, that Mr. Wm Henry Hentig, merchant, and Mrs. Heiitig ( both now unhappily deceased), resided in a bouse situated on the North Walls of the Old Dock, in the avenue leading to High- street, at the back of the Dock Company's new Eonding- yard! Their family comprised two female servants, and three young children, one boy and two girls ; the youngest the boy, a child of about three years old. Two other children ( boys') are, we are informed, pursuing their education on the continent. At about eleven o'clock oil Sunday evening last, the watchmen and neighbours were alarmed by a cry of tire, and a female was heard shrieking for assistaiice at an attic window. About the same period the report of lire- arms was heard. With much difficulty the female who had called from the window, together with the three children, were rescued by means of a ladder. The street door having been broken open, the watchmen, andn others who had been attracted by the alarm, entered. On attempting to ascend the stairs, they foimd it impossible for a considerable time, from the quantity of snioke then filling the house, which was afterwards ascertained to he on fire in five or six different places. The other servant girl was found in one of tlie passages in a state of nudity, and was rescued. Still nothing was known of the master and mistress of the mansion. After a long period had elapsed, during w hich time, by the active exertions of the, firemen, and of many gentlemen who had in the interim arrived on the spot, the danger from fire having been averted, the bed room of Mr. and Mrs, Hentig was entered, when a horrible sight presented' I tself. Mr. H. was found dead on the floor with the upper ' part of bis skull blown to pieces by a pistol shot; and Mrs. H. lying in the bed in a sleeping position, dead, with her head perforated by a pistol hall, which had passed through her left eye ; her fate scorched to perfect blackness, the hangings burnt from the bedstead, and the mattress and bed- ding in flames. A Coroner's Inquest was immediately summoned • and after examining evidence the Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased William Henry Hentig, while in a stale of temporary insanity, had shot him- self with a pistol, from the effects of which he had died ; and that the deceased Sarah Hentig had died from the effects of a pistol- ball, discharged at her by the said William Henry Hentig, while labouring under a temporary fit of insanity."— It appeared also that the unhappy man had first set fire to the house in several places, and then committed the horrid acts to which the verdict of the Jury was directed. fSUsrcUancoufs EntflUgcncr. The most decided opposition to the abolition of the Welsh Judicature continues to be manifested through- out every part of the principality. It is, however, stated, that a bill, if not for abolishing the judicature at least for re modelling the Welsh courts, and in creasing the number of judges in Wc » n n et Hall, is to be one of the earliest measures brought before parliament. It is expected to become a law previous to the Spring Circuits; and Messrs. Mereweathcr, Pollock, Alderson, and Campbell, are named as likely to be appointed to the new judgeships. The Rev. J. W. Whittaker, Vicar of Blackburn, and the Rev. Messrs. G. L. Loxton, P. C. Law, J Porter, J. Blackburn, and Edward Uawson, all ministers of the Church of England, and members of the Black- burn branch of the Reformation Society, lately sent an " invitation" to the whole body of the Popish Fathers at Stonyhurst College, to meet and discuss with them in public, the points of difference between the churches of England and Rome ; offering at the same tinte to admit to the presidency, Peregrine Edward Tonnley, of Townley. Esq. a Roman Catliotc gentleman. The Rev. Fathers declined the challenge without^ ssigning any reason. The Northampton Mercury of Saturday says " We feel great pleasure in " stating, that notwith- standing the pressure of the times, the gaol of I his town was oil Thursday last completely cleared of prisoners, and the doors thrown open, a circumstance which lias not occurred for a great number of years before." BOXING.— Brown and Dobell fought on Tuesday A meeting of the friends and supporters of the plan for establishing Protestant Colonies in Ireland topk place at Dublin on Wednesday; the F- arl of Knniskillen in the chair Mr. Moore, M. P. addressed the meeting- at some length upon the subject, and insisted that many advantages would result from the plan, which was to locate Protestant families on waste lands in Ireland. Such colonies, he said, if they were established, would tend to improve the condition of the people, as a system of discipline, industry, and obedience to the law, would be intro- duced there, which would have the most beneficial effect. They would also become the nurseries of Irish manufactures, the encouragement, of which was so much to be desired. Several other gentlemen delivered opinions in favdur of the proposed system ; and after a resolution had been passed for the forma- tion of a committee, with a view1 to bring it ihto operation, the meeting adjourned. COACH ACCIDENT— The Magnet Birmingham and Liverpool Coach was overturned oil Friday- morning, about two o'clock, three miles on the Stafford side the village of Cannock. Mr. C'/ H. Webb, solicitor, of Stafford, and lady, were the Only inside passengers. On the outside there were two sailors, two Soldiers; and another man, besides the coach mat] and guard. At the time" of the acci- dent, the coach was travelling at an exceedingly slow rale. The horses, which were upon the walk, turned* out of the road, and dragged two of the w heels upon th" hanky which occasioned the immediate upset of the vehicle. The outside passengers were thrown off in all directions, and were all more or less injured. The coachman, however, suffered most seriously from his fall, one of his legs was broken, and his ancle sustained a compound dislocation. The guard was a good deal hurt, in consequence of some part of the c wch falling upon him. Mr. Webb had to break the coach window before he could release himself; after doing so he speedily extricated the lady who was his fellow inside passenger. The latter escaped without any injury whatever, and Mr. Webb with that only arising from the violence of the concussion when the coach upset—- Whew Mr. Webb had sufficiently recovered hims » lf to be able to observe the aspect of things, he found the whole of the " outsides" in such a state of intoxication as to be incapacitated from r ndering any assistance to the coachman and guard. He had himself to detach the horses from the coach, and to proceed to the nearest house for help. The two unfortunate men were afterwards conveyed in a cart to the Chetwynd Anns, At Brockton, about three miles off; Mr. Webb there borrowed a saddle, and rode off to Stafford immediately on one of the coach- horses, for a surgeon. Mr. John Hawthorn proceded to Brockton, to afford his assistance. He found the coachman's leg so seriously injured as to be induced to propose amputation, but that was not submitted to. The guard is confined to his bed bv the severe contusions he sustained about the hip joint.— The cause of Ihe above disaster Mr. Webb considers must have been the drowsiness of the coachman. The latter had, however, complained, when at Cannock, of the dulness of the lamps, and he said after the accident that the " snow had deceived him.' f The coach had stopped at most of the public- houses on the road, hut whether ( he coachman joined the lilors and soldiers in their frequent libations we are not informed.— The coach was not so much damaged as to prevent its proceeding on the journey. It passed through Stafford at nine o'clock on Friday morning, instead of at half- past two, its usual time. HOUSE STEALING.— Last week, a police- officer from Carmarthen passed through Hereford, with a warrant to apprehend the person who purchased one o' the stolen horses from Llandovery, and in w hose possession it was found at Crowle, in Worcestershire. H? returned again on Friday, with his prisoner; and Marsden ( who stands committed for Monmouth assi . es, for stealing a horse from Mr. Wyldman, of Swansea,) and Morgan Morris were fully identified as fie persons who stole and sold the horse at the last Pershore fair. Morris was given up to the police- officer, who conducted him and Ihe person above stated to Carmarthenshire, to be examined before the Magistrates for that county. Marsden will remain in HerefurJ gaol until he is removed by Habeas to Monmouth, and should he be then acquitted, he will be removed to Carmarthen, to answer for the above felony. We understand the purchaser of the stolen horse to be respectable, and he was of course dis- charged. It shows how cautious people should be in purchasing horses of strangers, and the necessity of registering them in toll- books kept for that purpose. — On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas Jones, of Llandovery, made a deposition of losing a brown gelding on tlie same night as Mr. Thomas, of the same place", lost the above horse; and Mr, Lane, of Powick, in Worces- tershire, a horse- dealer, deposed he had him from Marsden, in exchange for one of his. They are both bound in recognizance to prosecute.— This makes the third horse traced to be stolen by Marsden; two of which have been restored to their owners, through the correspondence of Mr. Howells, the sword- bearer at Hereford, and the information he gleaned from Marsden's pocket- book, which contained a diary of his transactions. COURT OF KING'S BENCH — THURSDAY. THE KING V. SMART. Mr. STARKF E nioved for a Habeas Corpus, directed! to the gaoler of Dnncaster, requit ing him to bring iif Isaac Smart, to he admitted to bail under a charge of felony. It appeared that persons! of the name of Goodered and Bluck, who were part- propr etors of the betting- rooms at Doncastrr, had been tubbed ol a sum of money deposited in the room,*. . The defem - • ant bad been there on the tiiorning of the. day on which the occ urrence took place, aiid . adjourned from theh'ce to the Race- course. Tire pn. fiu of this c. onctru were deposited iu a box kept in the room, the key of which box was kept by Mr. Goodered alone, and no money was put in or taken out without h s privity About 2 o'clock on Thursday, the 17th of September, this box. was opi r: e i by means of fal„ e keys. It was " discovered about five o'clock in the evening, on the return of the |> artie « from the Race- course. They first stated that £ 4000 bad beeii car- ried off. A subscription was set oh foot to wim- burse tile parties, and it then appeared that the loss amounted only to £ 2000. With respect to Mr. Smart, this was certainly a most, extraordinary charge. He was the keeper of an eating house in London, aixl was a fishmonger. He occupied pre- mises of considerable ex'ent in- Iirydges- sfroet, and paid a relit of about £ 350 a year. He had been acquainted with these two persons, Goodercil and Block, and has also a. part- owner of the rooms at Doncaster, aiid had advanced, money to both these' persons. Such was their circumstances, that each was obliged to borrow money to en able him to go down to the races. Mr. Smart attended oil the Race- course from day to day, and he swore that he WHS never absent from Doneaster during the continuance of the raci- s. On ( lie ftmrth day of the races, which was the 17th of September, he rose aljofit one o'clock, and Went to ( he rooms. Tii.- re was in the rooms then a person of Hie name of Jenkins, who was servant to Smart, but, by his permission, attended nt the room*! He swore that he had no further conversation with that person at the time than merely observing that he must He much fatigued, and had better take some rest. He then had a ride upon the Course before two o'clock, and there, were affidavits of persons who hail s:' cn him there. There was no doubt that it Was at that time the robbery was committed. The parties continued on the Course until five o'clock. Thev went then to the room, and Goodered said lie should like to see if the money was safe. He opened the box, and exclaimed that the money was ail gonej with the exception of about £ 150, which, it seemed) the thieves had not carried away. The prosecutors first fixed their suspicions upon two persons, after whom a strict inquiry was set on foot. Mr. Smart was very active in liii endeavours to discover these' men, and be left Doncaster in company with Bishop- the officer, and weut to Birmingham, where one of fie men was taken into custody. Mr. Smart returned t. London, and remained publicly at his business- from that time until the 7th of November, when he tfas arrested. Applications had been tnade to. him on the part of Goodered and Bluck, but he, havinr received Some intimation that these men had ail intention of making a charge against him, refused to see them except in the presence of his Solicitor or some third person. The warrant which was taken out was kept suspended for several days, . luring which time several applications were made to induce him to come to some arrangement. Mrs. Smart, hi* wife, received a letter, which Was sworn to be in'the hand- writing of Bluck, enjoining her, if . she had any influence over her husband, to exert it, for the sake of herself and her children, to tnake him tome to art arrangement respecting the robbery— that, if she neglected this for forty- eight hours, she would have occasion to regret it all her life. The writer said |, « did not dare to say more; but if she hesitated he would be lost. MM. Smart swore that she communi- cated this and other applications to her husband; but he refused to listen to them; raying that his character was at slake, and ( bat the matler must under"-,) a full investigation. It was after this that he wa" s taken into custody, and brought before the Magistrates at Doncaster. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.— No part of the money was tound upon him, or traced to him ' Mr. STARfctE. - No, my Lord. He had som « money, but he perfectly accounted for his possession ol it. His son swore ( hat be had brought him £ 100 down to Doncaster. Mr. Justice PAUKE- What was the evidence upon which the Magistrates committed him f Mr. STARKIE said, principally because Jenfcin* was Ins servant, and because Mr. Smart called at ( he rooms a hide before two o'clock. There » ere two persons of ( be name of Wood at Sheffield, who swore that a person in the dress of a butcher called uuoil them and ordered a key, which, from its description was evidently the one that opened the boy. and this' key be received at two o'clock, according to his order. Now, Sheffield is 18 miles from Doncaster The Magistrates at Doncastrr, he understood, hitd hu- manely instructed his friend Mr. Dodd to consent so ftr as in them lay, to Smart being admitted to bail. He had several affidavits which gave him an excellent character. Mr. DODD said that the Magistrates had no wish to oppose this person being admitted to bail, even if they had a voice ( which of course they had not) • but they begged to suggest, as it might be imports , o the ends of justice, that, as thev had received letters fiom several parties who were'supposrd to |> e implicated, and who offered to surrender, it would he desirable that tile depositions should not be mad„ public, nor gei into the hands of the prisoner'! attorney. ' Mr. Justice BAYI. EY said they should not get into the hands of the prisoner's attorney; but they must be read in the usual form either in Court or at Chambers. ROBBING A MISIR.— On Monday week, John Webster, alias Webb, James Brumlow, Harriet Brnm'ow, and William Parkinson, were charged before Thomas Lyon, Esq. and J. Charlton, Esq. Magistrates of the county of Lancaster, at Warring- ton, with breaking and entering into the dwelling- house of William Clare, an eccentric old man, who resides in the latter town, and stealing thereout fifteen sovereigns. The circumstances attending this robbery are of a singular nature. Clare has property sufficient to live upon, but from his parsimonious habits be is known by the appellation of " The Miser;" and it is supposed that the thieves ( who reside next door to him), conceiving he had a round sum of money concealed in his house, carried their plan into execution of robbing him, on Wednesday week. The old man gave information of the robbery to Mr. Davies, the intelligent and active police- officer of Warrington, but told him he had not the least suspicion who the person was that effected the " foul deed," it being impossible for any man to get into his house, either through the doors or windows, as they were all locked, barred, and bolted nearly all over, and he could not tell how the rogues had got in; it must have been when he was out in the day- time, it could not have been in the night, for he always sat up, armed with a musket and bayonet, for fear of being robbed. Mr. Davies hastened to inspect the miser's almost impregnable fortress, and we are informed that it occupied much time in Unlocking the various locks on the front door before he could gain admittance. As soon as he got in, he inspected the first and second stories of the miser's strong hold, without perceiving any appearances of an entrance having been effected ; but on going into the cellar of this votary of Plutlls, Mr. Davies discovered that a breach had been effected in the wall which separated his house from that of Brumlow's. The officer having now got a clue to the enemy, it was not long before he came up with them, and forced theni to an un- conditional surrender. When Brumlow and his wife were apprehended they wanted to play off' a ruse de guerre, with the officer, by stating that their house had also been entered anil robbed, and shewed him the lock of the door which was broken ; but on Mr Davies inspecting the door, he found out that it bad been broken on the inside; and on a further search lie discovered two hammers covered with bricks and mortar In the cellar out of which they had effected an entrance. In Brumlow's house he also found, am nig other property, two silver sp i- ins, which have since been d - ntified by a gentl'man named Fi: teller, , ,. , - , i, - ,..„„ • . . i residing- in Warrington, whose house was robbed some a Crowborougli, Sussex, for £- 100- After lighting time aco while the family we.- e at a place of worship. abo< H four , i, innt? s, Dobell* right arm was broken : Web , and Parkinson were at Brim/ low's on the day of course Brown had the battle and, indeed, his the obberv was perpetrated— The " antagonist never bad a chance. fully ,: ommitt(. d ( o[ trHJ. On Monday se'nnight. a party of friends at Leighton Buzzard, partook of an excellent dinner and spent the afternoon pleasantly together, in a large cask, which had been made for a respectable inn keener of that town celebrated for the goodness of his ale It holds 1,300 gallons, is sufficiently capacious to'hold fifteen persons, and is the largest ever made in that place. The party sipped their beverage out of a stone pot which holds a gallon. There is a much larger cask than this at Jacobs and Son's, Mary- street brewery, iri this town ( Taunton), which contains, we believe, five thousand gallons, and in which, before it was first filled, twenty persons some years ago partook of a liberal dinner, and spent a convivial afternoon— lautilon Courier. CIDER— T. A. Knight, Esq, of Herefordshire, ha, proved by personal experiment the satisfactory and decided efficacy of levigated charcoal, in stopping the fermentation of cider1, without in the slightest de- ree affecting the liquor either in flavour, colour, or quality The process is to put a small quantity in the cask, and to strew a little of the dry dust over the surface after the cask has been filled. From the great influx of wild fowl to most parts of Olfr Coasts within the last week, it is conjectured that the winter has set in with unusual severity in the higher latitudes. In the North of Europe there is ci ery indication of a severe season.

SIR,— Since there is nothing new under the sun, according to the adage of the wise, it doubtless hath happened, and may happen again, that a nation changing from a system of agriculture to a manu- facturing system, and from a manufacturing to a trading system, may extend her means and measures till they become benumbed, weak, and contemptible. 1. shall not, Mr. Editor, detail, in the present letter, the many great and powerful kingdoms of the earth, which have severally and mechanically, as it were, ran this circle, but rather ask whether ( supposing it possible to make choice)— w hether would be chosen, our present standing in the year 18- 29, with all our honours and the cost thereof, weight of debt, and taxation,— or, our former standing in the year 1629. 1 need not, 1 think, lea/. e you, by making any further contrast and comparison : your own experience and good sense will, 1 think, make an easy and prudent reply ; . afid 1 have no doubt your readers will do the same. I he deduction then will be, that instead of raising totourse, Ives a monument of real riches and power, we have been but studious in erecting another sort of Babel to our eternal disadvantage and dismay. J have premised thus much, preparatory to offering a few remarks, as immediately suggested upon reading a letter addressed to Ihe Premier, on the cpening of the trade, & c. to India, supposed to be written by W. YVhitmore, Esq. M. P. of whose zeal I entertajn no further unfavourable opinion than that arising from his evident want of practical and experi- mental knowledge, but which appears to me a whole- some and considerable ground of distrust : for, it is proved, ( at least I think it is so,) that the upshot of the. present state of affairs is hut ruin and alarm: an extension of ruin and alarm must then follow every extension and multiplication of the same causes or cause,, But let us now see, from effects, how, and in wh. it aggregated proportion, ruin will be accelerated anil, enlarged, by, auy further opening, & c. of the trade to the East. And, first, let me ask, is the East a rich, flourishing, and independent country ? By no means. She, like ourselves, and by ourselves, is fallen, impoverished, and degraded ; her manufac- tures (. whence a. great part of her riches arose) are deteriorated, superseded, and lost; her people, her manners her government, and arts, totally meta. niorphosed, until they may be termed passive and il: a ); what she now exports is not her superfluity and exccss, but that sweat- earned, dearly- paid- for, and scanty product, which is politically forced from her yearning mouth. Under such circumstances, then, to force a trade upon her, would be but to feed more inauspiciously and arbitrarily npon her very vitals; and having first pinioned and enslaved her, to draw away her product when that product is at a minimum, is alike unsatisfactory and mistaken. There are many other and cogent reasons which may be advanced, to shew that under present circum- stances, neither nation can be ultimately benefited by any further extension of the trade between England and India ; but 1 shall conclude my present letter by observing, that had England secured the independ- ence and the manufactures of India, instead of having humbled and impoverished her, she had now and ever reaped benefit instead of loss. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, A TRAVELLER. against ourselves. They have fallen upon our ill- paid and starving workmen with a terrible ven. geance. They have wrung from the Manchester weaver an increased quantity of labour and asadly- diniinished rate of remuneration. He has been toiling literally for nothing— producing ten yards of cottons for one he was wont to produce— but without experiencing: any corresponding advan- tages, or any rate of wages equal lo his augmented labour. The farmer has been ruined-— therefore he consumes less manufactured goods. The tradesman has reduced profits— therefore he also consumes fewer goods. The wattes of every class of oper- atives are reduced— consequently each consumes a diminished quantity of Ihe productions of Ihe other. While this pernicious system has been advancing — while profits and . wages have been declining— our public burthen^ have remained and are likely to remain at their former rale The salary of every minister and placeman is as high as ever, and much higher than it was antecedent to 1797. The debt stares us in the face iu all its former amplitude of figures. Annuities and pensions of every kind remain as during the war. No reduction of price — no decrease of wages— no diminulitm of salaries — have taken place. The whole weight of these monstrous burthens baa fallen on the industrious. The fuudholder is pampered at Ihe expense of the hard- working. The unemployed are subsisted at the expense of the middle order of merchants and traders. The drones thrive at the cost of the help, less, the neglected, and the now almost hopeless drudge of the commonwealth. A few overgrown capitalists hold the balance between the Minister and the people— between au injured King and a ruined country. But Ihe worst remains behind. Had the nominal amount of the debt been reduced in the ratio of fhe reduction of wages and profits the case would have been bad enough. Under any circumstances the attempt lo reduce the comforts of English labourers lo the scale which prevails in Germany, Poland, Norway, and Sweden, must, have been attended with much evil and numberless difficulties. But to attempt this without a correspondent diminution of the debt and our public burthens was a work of atrocious cruelty. To call it robbery would be to use but a gentle phrase. It was the worst species ofrobbery and oppression. It was general spolia- tion— a confiscation of Ibe property of the poor for the benefit of the rich and the advantage of the foreign corn- grower. I!. v this pernicious measure, not only have wages and profits been reduced, hut every kind of tax, every local burthen, have been rendered threefold more onerous. For instance, the man whose profits amounted to three hundred a- year from I8T6 lo 1820 doesnot now obtain above one hundred and fifty pounds. Yet he has the same taxes to pay— the same imposts upon all he consumes— the same duty upon tea, sugar, and tobacco— the same excise upoir spirits, malt, soap, candles, and almost every article which he and his family consume. The parish rates are increased, Ihe stamp upon his bills is the same, Ihe turnpike dues are the same, the pj- iee of eoals is the same, the price of the hat. he wears ( for obvious reasons) is the same— In short, all former rates are as high, if not higher, than ever, while all consumable articl are as they were nearly fifteen years ago. Now, how does this affect the individual to whom we allude? He finds his income reduced one- half, and yet his expenditure remains nearly the same His profits are reduced fifty per cent, while his taxes are as galling and oppressive as ever, and his local burl liens actually increased. In this way it plainly appears, when we compare his income with his expenditure, that the taxes most press upon this man much more severely I Iran they did during the war. They press three times more severely. The reduction in the price of bread, beef, and a few other articles; is something; but it is not at all iii the ratio of his reduction of revenue. And it is the same with the artisan and the labourer.— Morning Journal. is to disapprove of the acts of the Legislature, then, we confess we have read it wrong. If Parliament can make black white, and white black, at their pleasure — if what is unconstitutional to- day can be rendered constitutional to- morrow— if Parliament can render beneficial what is abstractedly, naturally, and eternally pernicious— bad in itself— bad in its effects— mis- chievous in its secret proceedings, and despotic, cruel, and destructive when in the ascendant— then n- e also bow to the law, and say that the fights and liberties of the people of this country are totally and for ever extinguished. If this doctrine of passive obedience be binding- on the subjects of an English King, as Lord George Beresford seems to assert, what must be the conse- quences ? What would have been the consequences in former times? Ask the illustrious and vevered head of the house of Brunswick. His august family would not now stand high among the monarchies of Europe— they would have had no rank in England if the doctrine of Lord George Beresford had been tolerated in 1886. ! f this doctrine had been counte- nanced at that period the work of concession would have bee* a work of supererogation six months ago— we would have cherished other attachments— other families— a different race of magistrates and priests— and been as degraded and grovelling a people as the Roman Catholic peasantry of Ireland. In short, if this doctrine had been countenanced, the Jew bill, and many other bills, acme of greater and some of lesser note, would have been in force to this day, under numberless modified modes of oppression and injustice. It may suit the interest of some men, who have long dipped with both hands, and with the hands of all their near relatives, into that nourishing and fertile stream which flows from the fountain of the taxes, to inculcate passive obedience. But with these men we do not associate— to their subserviency. We do not subscribe— to their perverted principles we do not respond. They are men not to be trusted. Their doctrines are too flexible to be safe, and their attachments too selfish to be durable or above suspicion. We never shall subscribe to that doctrine which stands between Parliament and public opinion, and which would deny to the people the right of in- vestigating and condemning an unpopular or repulsive measure. If any man thinks any one act of the Government detrimental to the public interests, he has a right to stand up and demand, by the month of his representative, a repeal of that act. If any Minister should alter the laws of fhe commercial policy of England so as to inflict a serious injury on the people, are we to be told that that Minister is protected by the acts of the legislature ? No such thing. He is, no matter how high " nc may stand, rio matter how many victories he may have gained, no matter how green the laurels may be which decorate his brow— he is amenable to the natio. i. For his acts he is responsible. Parliament cannot shield him — it has not the power to shield him. Parliament is the fragile instrument of the people's breath— short- lived, changeable, and irresponsible. The Minister is differently situated. He may be changeable— he may be short- lived—' out he is responsible. This js something, thank GOD ; and we hope to see the day when, for certain acts, the Minister shall be called to account. There is a long list of grievances to be rediessed. many sins to purge, and many delinquencies to punish. Lord George Beresford's passive obedience, therefore, is not likely to become popular. We are afraid it will not obtain many converts even in Water- ford. On this side of the water we have too many errors to correct to be turned from our duty by the fear of offending him. There must he many mea- sures besides the Catholic one repealed before all is settled. We have a long and black account to settle with the bullionists and the free- traders. We have the authors of the navigation laws amendment bill to bring to the bar of justice, and, in fact, quite enough of matter on hand to prevent us from falling asleep over the new maxims of so consistent a tory.— Morn, ing Paper. points, the hands are soon severely cot with them. The effect of the buoyancy of the water is also curious. At the depth of seven or eight fathoms, it requires exertion to keep down ; and if you then attempt to lay hold on a rock with the hands, you find yourself as it were suspended, so that if you let go your hold yon will immediately tumble upwards I I remember, the first nyster I ever met with was at the depth of four fathoms only; my headwaa almost touching it; and forgetting, in my " pjfastii- e, to strike out with my legs, as I stretched forward- my hand to catch hold of the prize, to my astonishment the oyster slipped frftm mv grasp, and I found myself nearly at the surface of the water the next instant, so that I had all my labour for nothing." SJlURDER AND SUICIDE. We stop the press ( says the Bath Journal) to notice a two- fold murder and suicide, of a more horrible nature Shan it has ever been our unpleasant task to, record. This ( Monday) morning, about twenty minutes before six o'clock, a man of the name of Beer, lodging with his wife and child r. t No. I, Williams place, at the back of St. James's street, St. James's Squa; e, murdered both the latter by cutting their throats with * razor. Just before six o'clock, Mrs. Chappie, another lodger in the house, sleeping in . he next room to Beer, fancied she heard something like a guggling in the ihroat; she immediately went to the door and called to MN. Beer, and asked if she was ill, but having repeated l; er call two or three times without an answer, she opened the door and went into the room, and again asked Mrs. Beer if she PASSIVE OBEDIENCE. PP. OCESS OF LEARNING TO VIVE. THE CURRENCY. There never was a greater error than that com- mitted by Mr. Peel and the authors. and advocates of the currency bill when they attempted to reduce the rate of prices in this country to what they were pleased to call the continental lev. e|. Many gross blunders have been committed iu this unfortunate kingdom since the termination of the French war-— many errors as regards the Ministers, - and many wrongs as regards the people— but, of all the blun- ders, the one to which we allude was the crowning one. These superficial geniuses told us thut if we could but reach the continental level of prices, we should be in a condition to compete successfully with the foreigner in every department of commerce and manufactures. They told us that prosperity would inevitably follow reduction of prices— that the poor would be benefitted as well as the rich— that increased consumption would augment the produce of the revenue— and that this pleasing augmentation would enable the Minister to reduce the taxes, and place even the luxuries of life within reach of the humblest labourer. We repeat it— a more absurd fallacy than this never was indulged in by any set of met>> It is a doctrine founded in the blindest ignorance, without one redeeming point in favour of the, knowledge, the philosophy^ or the good intentions of its authors. They forgot the relation in , w. hic} i this country stood with all the nations of Europe; and they totally overlooked the utter impracticability of the policy they advised. Tliey were not apparently aware that it is impossible for England to, reach the level of prices on the Continent without first re- lieving herself of her monstrous debt— without first reducing herself to the same ratio of subsist- ence— without first reducing Ihe comforts of the English peusant to the level of those enjoyed by Ibe peasant of Pomeraula— without first producing anarchy, dissolving the lie betw een national debtor and creditor, applying the sponge to all old or existing agreements, and reconciling the people to comparative want by the duration and the extent of suffering. In one word— they forgot that, so long as the debt remained, the, more we reduced wages and prices the more would wages and prices be reduced by our continental, neighbours; and that as we approached them the further would they retire from us. Had Ihe subject been seriously considered by men of profound knowledge or mode, rate acuteness this result must have been foreseen. As we descended our neighbours would naturally descend in the same ratio. As it was exclusively a question of cheapness, it might have been perceived that, where free trade existed, that nation would derive the greater profits which could manufacture cheapest— that where. th* price of corn, the rale of taxes, and other public burthens were lowest, the returns would not only be the greater, but where these prevailed cheapest, the parlies w ould be able to cotupple longer and more advantageously. All this was lost sight of by Mr. Peel and his brother philosophers. They never dreamt of the continental level fulling. They imagined that we had ou ly to decline till we reached the prices of the foreigner, and | hat then all would terminate pro- sperously. They made no allowance for fluctuation on the Continent— lliey legislated as if the standard abroad was unalterable— as if it could not be uffect. ed by our movements— as if it could stand firm while we were carrying into operation the most sweeping reductions. Having neglected these natural causes and effects - wc now are feeling the bitter and appalling couser < juence « , Our reduced prices have militated only A correspondence between Lord George Beresford and a gentleman of the name of Barron has already appeared in most of the newspapers, W'e do not notice it here for the purpose of discussing the matters in dispute, or deciding which of the eom- batants has inilicted the most severe wounds upon the other. Which has the best claim to the suffrages of the electors of the county of Waterford we have no means of knowing, and no wish to inquire. Who is the most independent and consistent of the rival candidates we cannot tell; and we thank Heaven we are sufficiently ignorant of the political relations of Waterford to prevent us from being called upon fo give an opinion. But there is a certain portion of the letter of Lord George Beresford which we cannot allow to pass in silence. It expresses sentiments which every liononrable and consistent roan mUst reprehend; for, if such sentiments are to stand recorded as political maxims, then we must for ever relinquish those distinctions of good, and evil which have hitherto prevailed among men. If the fiat of tire Legislature is to be the touchstone of truth and wisdom, then we ought instantly to burn our school books, regulate our morals hy the vote of rotten boroughmongers, call vice virtue according to cir- cumstances, and approve every measure, no matter how monstrous, how unjust, how oppressive, or how insulting to common sense, provided such measure has received the sanction of the Imperial Parliament. But before we say more we beg that Lord George Beresford be permitted to speak for himself. In his letter to Mr Barron he says— o Amongst other imputations calculated to excite prejudice against me, it has been industriously circulated that I come befofft you with changed principles. This I deny. My prin- ciples are what, then have ever been, those of firm attachment to the British constitution and to tins P. rotestailt religion. I always considered the late question as purely politicalf as such, while that question was under discussion, I openly ami conscientiously opposed it The, Legislature has, in its wisdom, judged differently, and has passed the relief bijl j the law of the laud is thus'essentially altered— to it I How— and I hold it the bounden duty of every good subject to co- operate in brifig- ing fit, out that happy result which the Legislature contemplated, and to. obliterate ever'/ trace of the divisions which have loo Jong kept Irishmen asulider." After the re- perusal of this extract, Lord George must pardon us if we speak of him with apparent harshness, and we as sincerely wish he may be able to reconcile to his houour the. conveniency of his doctrine as we wish he had never uttered it, He avows that bis opinions are unaltered— that he is as good a Protestant as ever— as inimical lo Popery as ever— as much attached to the church ( he should have said the state) and the constitution ( he should have said the Ministry) as ever. This is precisely the declaration of Mr. Peel, and Mr. Pcelis- not a man to be envied. But let this pass. Lord George continues to say, that, although bis principles are unchanged, the views of the Legislature have under- gone, a transition, the exclusive law has been repealed, the Papists are rendered eligible to legislate for the Protestant church, and therefore he, Lord George Beresford, bows to the law, admires the change, and calls upon all honest men to join him in assisting to carry the schemes of the Ministry into effect. With great submission we call this cant— disgust- ing and . insufferable cant! It is neither more nor less than an apology for dishonesty— an excuse for apostacy— a veil for the statesman of easy virtue, under which he may carry on his intrigues, without being suspected by the simple or the innocent. If concession to the Roman Catholics has hitherto been deemed a dangerous and unconstitutional measure, it has not become less so because it has received the sanction of the Legislature. We do not object to Lord George Beresford bowing to the law. He is bound to respect the law ; but are wu to lie called factious if, deeming the law a dangerous one, we use every effort to obtain its repeal ? The candidate for Waterford, by thus calling upon his countrymen to a- sist t. he Government in completing. a measure which has been carried against the majority of the nation, not only insults every honest Protestant, hut commits an outrage upon his own professed opinions. He renders himself ridiculous, and exposes himself to a charge of disingeriuousness in . one sentence. He advocates, for reasons which are- equally . flimsy and absurd, a measure be has hitherto invariably con. demned and opposed, and he desires to degrade his countrymen by persuading them, to. follow his example What is this hut an attempt to turn into ridicule every tiling like principle and consistency ? Common sense is not yet so completely expatriated from England that we cannot see the object of I ho noble lord — that we cannot penetrate his motives— th at we cannot comprehend his parliamentary logic— that we cannot, tear the veil from flic convenient, ethics of the new philosophy. If it be the meaning of the charter of England that no subject of the King Lieut. Hardy, who went out to Mexico as a com- missioner for the company formed in London, to fish for pearls and coral iu the Gulph of California, thus describes, in his recently published Travels, the process of learning to dive :— " If it be difficult fo learn to awim, it is infinitely more so to dive, In my first attempts I could only descend about six feet, and was immediately obliged to rise again to tbe surface, but by degrees I got down lo three or four fathoms; at which depth the pressure of the water upon the ears is so great, that I can only compare it to a sharp- pointed iron instrument being violently forced into that organ. My stay under water, therefore, at this depth was extremely short; but as I had been assured, that so soon as the ears should burst, as it is technically called by the divers, there would be no difficulty iu descending to any depth ; and wishing to become an accomplished diver, 1 determined to brave the excessive pain, till the bursting should, as it were; liberate me from a kind of cord which limited hiy range downwards, in the same way that Ihe ropes of a balloon confine the progress of that machine upwards. " Accordingly, taking a leap from the bows of the boat, full of hope and resolution, with my fingers knit together over my head, the elbows straight, and keeping myself steadily iu the inverse order of nature, namely, with my feet perpen- dicularly upwards, the impetus carried m'e down four fathoms, when it became necessary to assist the descent by means of the hands and legs'j- but alas! who can count upon the firmness of his resoi lution ? The change of temperature from warm to cold, is most sensibly felt. Every fathom 611s the imagination with some new idea of the dangerous folly of penetrating farther into the silent dominions of reckless monsters, where the skulls of the dead make perpetual grimaces, and the yawning jaws of sharks and tintereros, or the death- embrace of the mania, lie in wait for us. These impressions were augmented by the impossibility of the vision pene- tra'ing the twilight by which I was surrounded together with the excruciating pain that 1 felt in my ears and eyes; in short, my mind being assailed by a thousand incomprehensible images, L ceased striking with tny hands and legs; I felt myself re ceding from the bottom; the delightful thought of once more beholding the blue heavens above me got the better of every other reflection ; 1 involuntarily changed the position of my body, and, in the next instant, found myself once nioi* e on the surface. How did my bosom inflate with the rapid inspir- ations of my natural atmosphere,'' and a sensation of indescribable pleasure spread' over every piitt of the body, as though the spirit was rejoicing at its liberation front its- watery peril. " In fact, it w as a new sensation w hich I cannot describe. 1 did not. suffer it, however, to'be of long duration,— once more I essayed with a more fixed determination. Again 1 felt myself gliding through the slippery water, w hich, from its density, gave one the idea of swimming through a thick jelly; again 1 experienced the same change of tem- perature ill the water as I descended ; and again the agonizi ng sensation in my ears and eyes made me waver. But now, reason and resolution urged me on, although every instant the pain increased as I descended; and at the depth of six or seven fathoms, I felt a sensation in my ears like that produced by tire explosion of a gun; at the same moment I lost all sense of pain, and afterwards reached tbe bottom, Which 1 explored with a facility which I had thought unattainable. Unfortunately, I met with no oysters to repay me for my persever- ance, and as 1 found myself exhasted for want of air, 1 seized hold of a stone to prove that I had reached Ihe bottom at eight fathoms water, and rose to the top with a triumph as great as if I had obtained a treasure. " I no sooner found myself on the surface than 1 became sensible of what had happened to my, ears, eyes, and mouth ; I was literally bleeding from each of these, though wholly Unconscious of it. But now was the greatest danger in diving, as the sharks, manias, and tiulererosliave an astonishingly quick sceut for blood. However, I was too niaeh pleased with my success to attend to the advice of the diver, and I continued the practice till I had collected a considerable number of shells, out of which I hoped to reap a rich harvest. But although constancy has a great deal to do with success, it will not command it. Six very small pearls were all that the large number of shells produced, al- though many of the oysters were large, and evi- dently of considerable age; but, like myself, they were < quite old enough to be better.* " The oyster secures itself so firmly to the rocks by the beard, that it requires no little force to tear it away j and as its external surface is full of sharp began then to suspect that all was not right, and told her husband to strike a light; on entering the room with whi^ h, she discovered a sight of horror past the power of words to describe. The mother was lying on her bacH, with one hand across her breast, and her throat cut from one angle of the jaw to the other, dividing some of the principal arteries and windpipe ; and the little innocent, about four months old, which appeared to have been lately drawn from the breast for the murderous purpose, was lying on its side, with its head severed, excepting by a bit of skin at the back part of the neck. The bodies were weltering in blood, a pool of which, under the bed, extended across the room. It was evidently the result of a cool and deliberate intent, for it appeared that the deed was committed while the sufferers were asleep, there having been no noise heard by any of the lodgers or neighbours, excepting that described by Mrs. Chappie, which was after the deed had been perpetrated a. id the murderer had escaped. Mr. White, surgeon, of St. James's Square, was called in at six o'clock, too late of course to be of any service, and the result of his examination tended to show that there Was no struggling, and the bed clothes were not disturbed. There were other points that seem to prove the deliberation of the act. The bloody razor was lying open on a box by the side of the bed, and the caSe was lying on the dresser down stairs in the • kitchen, and with it a lath- hatchet, as though in- tended for use if the murderer liad failed to accom- plish his purpose with the razor. What was the cause of this dreadful act, the most distant idea cannot be formed. Beer is described by tlie lodgers as being a steady man, fond of his wife and his home, and doatingly fond of his child, which he was always caressing when at home; nor have they latterly seen any alteration in his conduct. Ail the previous day, ( Sunday) both Beer and his wife were at home, and appeared, as usual, very comfortable and happy, and retired to bed at ten o'clock. Beer was a journeyman baker, and had been employed as foreman by Mr. Davies, of St. James's- street, for nearly the last twelvemonths, during which time his employer had found him altentive to his business, a trustworthy servant in his master's absence, particularly obliging, and apparently happy. Mr. and Mrs. Davies saw no alteration in his conduct up to the latest period, except that when he came on Sunday evening to prepare for the next morning's baking, he was about two hours later than his usual time, but he did his business very properly, and seemed in his manlier as usual.— Immediately after the discovery of the above horrible murder, the officers of justice were apprised of it, and were quickly on tbe alert to apprehend the perpetrator. Sbo ' y after day- light a baker's jacket with blood on it was seen lying on the bank of the river near Bedford- street, Walcot; in consequence of which, Wijham George Bathwick, took a boat to search the river, anil found the body of Beer in the water, with life quite extinct, at the bottom of Bedford street. The body was thence taken Walcot workhouse, to await the coroner's inquest. ftlteccllanrouo EntciUflcncr. On Friday morning, a sailor named William Allen, having just received a cheque for his wages on his owner's hankers, Messrs. Smith, Payne, arid Smith, inquired of a respectably- dressed man, whom he accosted on Tower Hilt, tl. e nearest way to Lombard- street. The stranger, being informed that he was going to receive money, cautioned him to be careful of mentioning the subject to persons with whom he was unacquainted, and very civilly offered to show him the way. The sailor hugged himself upon his great good luck in falling in with such a civil person ; and, accepting his pilotage, got to Lombard- street, where he received the value of the cheque in notes and gold. He then insisted upon treating his guide, and, after a parting glass, the stranger shook him by the hand, and promised to pay him a visit at his vessel. As soon as be had departed, the sailor discovered, to his great astonishment, the stranger had favoured him with another sort of " shake," as he had actually " shook" him of every farthing of his wages.— Having returned to the bank, and procured the numbers of the notes, he gave information at Lambeth- street office. NATIONAL PROPENSITIES.— When a celebrated Scotch nobleman was once Ambassador to the Court of France— Louis was always very anxious to learn from him the characters of our nations, triajuncta in uno. " Well, my lord, cried the king, how would an Englishman be found after a hard fought field."— « Oh ! sleeping away the fatigues of the day," replied the Ambassador. " Very prudent," rejoined his Majesty. « And the Irishman .'" « Oh, he'd be drinking away the fatigues of the day."—" Good ! good !" laughed out the royal Louis.—" And now, though last not least in glory's annals, your own countryman— the bonny Soot !" « Why, your Ma- jesty, I ken Sandy's honour— he'd be just darning his hose, perhaps, and thinking of the siller he could save." AMERICAN TEMPERANCE !— At a late meeting of the New York City Temperance Society, one of the speakers alluded to various facts, in proof that the use of spirits is not only a useless, but a pernicious indulgence. He mentioned the schools iu England for training prize- fighters, in whom the perfection of muscular strength and activity is aimed at, and iu which ardent spirits are entirely expelled, and even ale is very rarely allowed. In those prisons In which spirits are forbidden, even constitution* broken down by intemperance are restored to healthfulness and vigour. The Roman soldier, he added, who fought the battles of his country with a weight of armour which a modern spirit- drinker could hardly stand under, drank nothing stronger than vinegar aud water ; and multitudes of farmers and mechanics, engaged in hard labour of all kinds, and exposed to every change of weather, have made fair trial of the plan of entire abstinence, aud with one voice declare themselves gainers by it In every respect. As many as 600 Temperance So- cieties are already in existence ill the United Slates, fn the lower part of Middlesex county, Connecticut, 611 men have agreed since September last, to abstain entirely from distilled liquors. In many places ( lram- drinking is almost wholly abolished. In one town, where there were last year nine per- sons who retailed ardent spirits, there is now not one; aud more than 1,500 venders and distillers have discontinued all traffic iu the poison.— Christian Observer. The very persons who most abhor the system of policy pursued during the last nine months are the same who are the most sensible of the former services of its author, not only military but civil, as they were his supporters and encpuragers in the former, and his associates ill the latter. The parly whom, under temptations which w e must scorn, he deserted, have never personally insulted him as he has been personally insulted by his new associates and their mobs. They have always observed the distinction that ought to be made between the vicious minister and the conqueror of Napoleon. How then, can it be supposed that the King would forget Ihe distinction ? But we have said, perhaps, more upon the subject than was necessary, though wc are not sorry that the occasion suggested a repetition of the contrast between the practices of tbe tory and liberalist parties. The opposition cf the first may be violent, fierce, nay factious, but it will never be unbecoming of gentlemen ; we have no tory Times— no Queen Caroline mobs on out- side— no ruffians to throw dirt, as we have seen dirt thrown upon their present idol, by the liberal mobs of 1820 and 1827. This is a proud distinction, and such as we hope will be preserved; it goes to demonstrate the very essence of the several parlies. They who wage a sordid, personal war, shew that their motives arc sordid. Men who contend, how- ever violently, only for principles and institutions, without descending lo personal rancour, prove the elevated nature of their objects.— Standard. A very minute inquiry into the services of those soldiers who have been discharged with pensions is now in progress, and we understand that, where any mis statement of service is discovered, the pension is annulled. Great delicacy should be observed in administering this system ; for it is hardly possible that a petty fraud should so com- pletely cancel the debt due by the nation lo a discharged soldier as lo justify the , ommissioners in casting him upon the world as a helpless n uper. Cases have been mentioned, in which son e men who had misrepresented their age at their enlist- ment, but who had served long and meritoriously, and hod become serjeants iu their regiments, have been degraded from their rank, and rendered in. capable of future promotion ! If this be true, and if a crime, committed by ignorant boys, at the age of 16 or 18, is to be thus visited upon men after 20 or 30 years of valiant and arduous services, we have no hesitation in saying that the " summum jus" of such proceedings is " summum injuria." We hope that some Members of the House of Com- mons will inquire into this affair; and, since it is the object of our military reformers to reduce the pension list, we beg leave to ask why half- pay should be granted to officers w ho have only served in time of peace?—, Berkshire Chronicle. The library of the late Earl of Liverpool was sold last week by Mr. Christie, at his Great Room, in King- street, St. James's- square. It consisted of an assemblage of history, English antiquities, law, divinity, general science, voyages and. travels, Some French and Italian literature, and a fair sprinkling of Greek and Latin classics and lexicons. The library of a prime minister, as was the case the sale of Mr. Canning's, naturally occasions excitement and competition, consequently many of the lots brought very high prices. We heard in the room that such of the books as contained mar- ginal notes, in the autograph of the deceased nobleman, were properly retained in Ihe family, so that the " prying eye of curiosity" could merely be indulged witban occasional presentation copy," from the author to the Earl of Liverpool." A curious collection of engraved portraits of physicians was purchased by Sir, Smith, the printseller, for twenty guineas. to On Monday last, a cluster of raspberries, fully ripe, which grew in a neighbouring garden, were brought to our office.

Died, on Wednesday last, in the alms- house, Spalding, at the great age of 95 years, Wm. Sawyer, , who was supposed to be the oldest inhabitant of that town— For many years he pursued the occupation of cooper and hasket- maker, until he . found an asylum for his last day? in the alms- house. He was a hearty old buck, and, when in his 84th year, challenged any man in England to wrestle, sing a song, and ring one of a peal of bells with . him.. For the latter he was especially famous, and for some time regularly assisted in chiming the bells on a Sabbath- On the Sunday only before his death, being rather late, he attempted to run, a feat which he actually accomplished, lo the surprise of many. On the occasion of his last birth day he sung several songs, and smoked a great quantity of tobacco. He was a peaceable and good- natured old man; so fond of harmony that many years ago he learned to fiddle a few tunes, and used to amuse his neighbours by specimens of the jigs. and drawling ballads of the last century. He continue 1 sailing away at his violin until within a few days of his death. So singular a genius naturally attracted notice, aud the antique face of the old man, graced as it was by an odd obliquity of vision, has been delineated by Mr. West, painter of Spalding. On Sunday afternoon his old comrades, the ringers, paid a tribute to his memory by a dumb peal upon the bells. Although he had attained an almost patriarchal length of days, he possessed all his faculties, mental and bodily, to the very last, irf a surprising degree. His intellect was clear, his memory was good, and sight strong. He walked erect, with a firm step, had a sanguine complexion, and scarcely a fold or wrinkle in his face. REPORT OF THE HARVEST OF 1829.— We are indebted to a gentleman who is every way qualified to speak with confidence on the subject, for the following report of the crops of the present year: " Wheat is estimated below an average produce, but a considerably better yield than last year. The quality, however, in consequence of the wet season and tedious harvest, is very various; from half to two- thirds of the crop was carried in a damp state and the remainder, although secured in better con- dition, is by no means entirely free from sprouts yet upon the whole, considering the very rainy weather during harvest, the wheat is not so much injured as might have b^ eu. expected, which must be attributed to the very, cold weather, and a dry day or two occasionally intervening. A few good dry samples appear, which weigh , from 611b. to 621b. per bushel; but the bulk of the wheals which have been brought to market are soft and unfit lor grinding unless kiln- dried, and will not make per- fectly sound bread without a proportion of old wheat, and weigh 581b. to 601b. per bushel. Barley is about an average yield; aud full two- thirds of the crop, although partially stained, and al present cold and damp, is expected, when in condition, to be of good malting quality ; the remainder is very inferior, and can only be used for feeding. Oats are short of an average produce, and the breadth sown less than usual. The quality is better than could have been expected from the wet and unsea- sonable weather during harvest. Beans have been sown to a greater extent than usual, and exceed an average crop; but having been harvested iu bad condition, they cannot be used until spring, without being kiln- dried. Peas are'also more cultivated in some quarters than formerly, and are a great crop *'"-• year; but being generally left out and neg- CURE OF HYDROPHOBIA.— Mr. Sieber, of Prague, of whom the Emperor of Austria has purchased his great collection of the Zoology of New Holland, intends to employ the sum received for it in the publication of his long announced work on tbe cure of hydrophobia, upon which he has spent nine years in researches and experiments. According to Mr. Sieber, hydrophobia is not a disease, but a metastasis, that is to say, the termination of a disease. It is upon this consideration Mr. Sieber founds his method of cure. The question is, he says, to make the contagion quit its place ; and he affirms, that by following his method, six patients out of ten will be saved, if they are attended to in the first six hours after hydrophobia has declared itself His Majesty the Emperor of Austria has promised the author an annual pension of 1200 francs, if a discovery so useful to humanity should be fully verified ; the King of Denmark, another of 500 francs; and the French Chamber of Peers, the sum of 100,000 francs. The letters from Glasgow, on Tuesday, state that s dreadful fire had taken place there, which had destroyed much property. In one warehouse 5000 bags of cotton were burnt, and in another a great quantity of corn. The insurance is stated to be £ 42,000, and not sufficient to pay the loss. It is stated that no lives were lost, HINTS TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS.— Of all the acts of folly and cruelty of which parental blindness- can be guilty, there is none more to be lamented than that which, from fhe pride of display, or even the more generous desire for improvement, induces any one to press on infancy the tasks fitted for youth, or demand from youth the wisdom of manhood. It is rending and scattering the blossoms in order to reach the fruit, which, if obtained, is immature, unnatural, and therefore unpleasant; it is the conduct of an Egyptian taskmaster, demanding a work with- out the materials which form it; an arraigning of the wisdom and providence of God, who, in rendering man the. most perfect of his creatures, has yet evi- dently made his progress the slowest towards tlie attainment of his powers. Hence indolence must be conquered, industry excited in children. Dr. Johnsotf, truly said, " idleness was the fault of human nature ;" and it is a fa nit every wise and kind parent will seek to eradicate,— there is no denying; but we speak in pity to that class of children who are stimulated because they are willing— goaded whilst running. Can the recitation of Greek verses at ten years old, the power of playing difficult music at. sight by fingers not half grown, or any of the wonders we see and hear so much of, repay a blooming girl for the roses that are banished,- the breath that is shortened, the appetite that is fled, the sp; ne that is curvating, fhe sense of joyful existence which once danced in her eyes vibrated through her nerves, was heard in every thrilling accent ? Oh, no, no! THE NIGI. II.— Sir Rufane Doukin's new hypo, thesis respecting the Nile, briefly stands thus : The Niger ( Ni- Geir) passes through VVangara, and emptying itself into the Wad- El Ghazeh, or Nile of Bomou, which is formed by the continuation of the Misselad ( Geir.) through Lake Fittre, flows under tbe sands of Bilmah info the Mediterranean Seai Sir Rufane is likewise of opinion— that " reasoning from analogy, and still more from what we know of the nature of the country, 1 have no doubt but that in very i emote ages, the united Niger and Geir did roll into the sea iu all the magnificence of a mighty stream, forming a grand esluary or harbour where now the quicksand is.''—" The question to be solved under such a supposition is, what revo- lution in nature can have produced so great a cl * ige in the face of the country, as to cause a great river, which once flowed into the sea, to stop- short in a desert of sand." " We know from alt recent, as well as from some of the older modern travellers, that the sands of the deserts west of Egypt are encroaching on, arid narrowing the valley of the Nile of Egypt. We see the pyramids gra- dually diminishing in height, particularly on their western sides, and we read of towns and villages which have been buried in the desert, but which once slood in fertile soils, some of whose minarets were still visible a few years ago, attesting the powers of the invading sand. The sphynx, buried almost up to the head, till the French cleared her down to the back, attested equally the desolating progress of this mighty sand- flood."—" And if we turn to fhe valley of the Nile of Egypt, we shall see at this moment the very process going on by which the lower part of the Niger, or Nile of Bornon, has been choked up and obliterated by the invasion of the Great Sahara, under the names of the deserts of Bilmah and Lybia. Thus has been rubbed out from the face of the earth a river which had once its cities, its sages, its warriors, its work* of art, and its inundations like the classic Nile, but which so existed in days of which we have scarcely a record." A TURKISH HOTEL.— The following description of a Turkish hotel, immediately after the expulsion of the Janissaries, is taken from a work of M. Foutanier, who lately gave an account of his travels in Persia, Georgia, and Turkey, to the Royal Academy of Sciences at Paris. From M. Fonta- uier's statement, it would seem that the Turkish innkeepers are even more inquisitive than those of America. " On my arrival at Sapanja," he says, " I installed myself in a coffee- house, which is the only kind of hotel in this country. After having arranged my carpet, and seated myself a la Turque, holding my pipe in one hand and the coffee iu the other, I entered into conversation with the master of the, house, who was. not lardy in giving me a hearty welcome, and putting to me a series of questions, to which I was so accustomed that my answers were all ready. ' What do you want ?— « Where do you come from?— Where are you going to?— Have you a tesheri ( passport)?— Have you much money ?— Are you a spy ?* & c. Four or fiva Turkish travellers, separated from me by wooden balustrades which divided the room into several compartments, listened to those queries with the reatest indifference, and smoked ou with the most imperturbable gravity. For me it was quite an affair of memory, aud, above all, of patience ; for if there had been twenty questions, I must have answered them all. The interrogatories finished, I ofl'ered thein coffee,— au infallible means in thi* country of establishing harmony, and procuring Ihe rites of hospitality.. At the same lime I asked them what hud been going, on at Constantinople. Our host put on an air of dignity, aud at last, without ceasing to warm the coffee and arrange the fire, replied, " My soul, the Sultan Mahmoud, our lord, will have no more janissaries. What will become of us if the pachas and the great are allowed to feed upon us at their ease! We must fly, and becoma Curdes! The taxes will be raised, and perhaps ( but God preserve us from it!) they will be levied on the Mussulmans. The Sultan Mahmdud is be- come an infidel; but it is his dog of a son, Mehemed Ali- Pacha, who has suggested all these enormities. May God deprive him of his eyes?" Every Turk in the room vociferated this imprecation in chorus, and then relapsed into his habitual silence. As th* night approached, every one began to think of his own affairs. Some of the travellers got themselves shaved, others brought in their provisions, and some arranged their carpets and their toilet for the night. As for me, 1 could not help admiring the good sense which was mixed up with the detached and homely phrases 1 had just heard. Every body regretted the janissaries, and felt that the only check upon absolute power had been overthrown, and that liberty had been destroyed without bring- ing the advantages of civilization. A detachment of janissaries arrived at the hotel while I was there, but ( remarked that the landlord hurried out to speak lo them, and assured them that he had not room enough for their accommodation." M. Fou- tanier, on his route towards- Constantinople, met about a hundred of the janissaries, who were dis. armed, aud some of them had their hands tied behind them with a cord, the extremity of which was held by the cawas, or pacha's guard. He learnt that, after the massacre, the government arrested every one whom they could find in the capital, and, without allowing them time to arrange their affairs or see their families, made them embark for Scutari, with orders to follow the road to Asia. Those who were bound were destined as example* of the vengeance of the Grand Seignior, and to intimidate the rebels; these had been taken by chance from among their companions in misfortune, and were to be beheaded in succession on reaching certain distances.— Literary Gazette. th it lected during the protracted wheat harvest, they received a good deal of damage, being partially sprouted, and the quantity reduced by waste below an average. Tares are not a great yield, but Ibe breadth sown pretty considerable. They were carried in a damp state, and came to hand an inferior sample, and in a very bad condition. The quantity of British corn on hand at the commence- ment of harvest was less than lias been remembered for a great many years. The quantities of foreign grain and flour entered in the United Kingdom for home consumption, from July 1st, lt28, to Septem. ber 30th, 1829, are as follows,— Wheal 2,036,623, barley 331,038, beans 99,886, oats 145,231, peas 58,073, rye 65,070 quarters ; flour 366,411 cwt. The stock of grain, & c. in bond in the United Kingdom, on 1st October, was as follows:— Wheat 186,398, barley 127,169, oats 497,968, rye 27,107, peas 28,511. beans 36,356, maize ( or Indian corn) 14,480, buck wheat 12,354 quarters; flour 67,499 cwtSheffield Courant.
