A murder, attended with robbery, was committed early on Thursday morning, at Long Coppice, near the residence of Mrs. IVIundy, a short distance from Havant, on Mr. John Sims, aged 90, residing in a detached . cottage with his housekeeper, who had lived with him twelve years. It was presumed in the neighbourhood that he had hoarded money, and LEGAL ERACVjS. Various incorrect rumours have been afloat with- in Ihe last two days, with reference to the awkward misunderstanding and consequent unpleasant lan- auage that took place in the Court of Chancery ou Friday morning last, between Sir Edward Uurlen- shaw Sugden, the present Solicitor- General, and Sir Charles Wethereil, fhe late Attorney- General. We are enabled, from a good Source, to state all that this belief has unfortunately excited the cupidity of occurred respecting these gentlemen in the matter, some necessitous designing villains. Every en- deavour has been made to discover the perpetrators, but hitherto without effect, nor has it been possible as yet to ascertain to what amount they have pil- fered. Among the property stolen, however, are £ 20 in money, a silver cream jug, various spoons ubsequei. fly to w hat passed in Conrf. In a remark- ably short lime after the disagreeable pro> ceding in the Court, but not before the two Learned Gentle- men iu question had retired from thence, a good deal of curiosity and surmises were excited by tbe appearance of Mr. Plank, tbe chief officer of Marl borough- street Police- office, accompanied by ( some with initials and others without"), a pair of Clements and Ballard, two other officers beIoti° iu& f sugar tongs, and a silver plate with initials nearly obliterated. Several persons were examined before Sir John T. Lee and Captain Leeke, two justices of the peace, who have committed Thomas Kelsey and William Farr to Gosport Bridewell, till Tuesday next, on suspicion. The parish officers of West- bourne have offered a reward of £ 50. Tbe wretches are doubtless neighbours, as they readily knew the way up stairs, which is through a back room and an to the same office, who were seen prying about Si ( mo. buildings, and seemingly with a very watch- ful eve, directed to Lincoln's lull Hall. They did not, however, it was clear, then effect any thing, for after waiting about until the Court rose, they departed with grout speed, taking different direc- tions, and evidently much disappoinied as to some object they had in view ; and that object, from the following particulars which we have since learned, intricate passage ; added to which they carried off could have been no other than Ihe arrest of the two A MOST DESIRABLE RESIDENCE.

The fol- lowing is the deposition of the housekeeper given at the coroner's inquest, which was held before C. B.

The deceased has been poorly of late, and has been attended by Mr. Hicks, who saw him last Wednesday night. Between one and two o'clock in the morning of Thursday, the 10th inst. 1 went up to the bed room of Sims and saw him in bed. He was better and easier. I then came down stairs again. About twu o'clock of the same morn- ing, having occasion to go out of the house, I opened the front door, when three men immediately rushed by me into the house, nearly pushing nie down. One was a tall man, and the other two rather short. One of the short men had crape over his face. The tall man remained with me in the Learned Gentlemen in question. We understand that in a very short time after the officers were seen to quit the neighbourhood of the Court, fhe house and chambers of the Solicitor General were each visited by Plank; but be iu vaiu inquired for the Learned Gentleman himself, of whom or when likely to be met with, neither clerks, servants, nor any one else could give any account. The officer, however, it seems, was not to be baf. led in the end; for after, as is said, tracing the Learned Solicitor through various windings, he came up with him about 11 o'clock the same night, at Ihe residence of Mr. Jemmet, who, We believe, is the brother- in- law of tbe Learned Gentleman, in Bedford- place^ Bedford- square, when, in the parlour, as we have heard, the officer found both Sir Edward and Mr. Jemmet carefully examining some papers. Plank immediately, as we learn, announced his name and business to the former gentleman, and requested his presence before a Magistrate; but the Learned Gentleman peremptorily refused to accompany Itii and declared that be was not bound to attend kitchen, standing over me with a short bludgeon, | before any Magistrate in tbe kingdom, but that it telling me that if I made any noise, it would be the | was the business of a Magistrate, if he wanted him, mtst of CnglanD FIRE cV LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, CHIEF OFFICE, EXETER.

They had not been there long before I heard my master cry " Murder, murder!" I then said to the man who was with me, " I hope they will not hurt the old man," when lie replied, he had better hold his tongue, or it will be the worse for him." After I the men left the house, 1 called at the foot of the stairs to my master, but not receiving any answer, I concluded he had been murdered ; and, being to come to him. The officer, we understand, remonstrated against the construction of the usage of Magistrates, and as the Learned Gentleman seemed still reluctant, and almost determined not to yield, produced his warrant, and told tbe Learned Gentleman, that under that authority lit ^ pust be excused for not suffering the Learned Gentleman to leave his sight until he conveyed him before the Magistrate who had issued that warrant.

Coriant, Esq. the resident Magistrate at Marlborough- streef, where be and one gentleman besides, as his surety, were bound in very heavy recognizances that the Learned Gentleman should not commit any breach of the peace towards any of his Majesty's subjects, particularly Sir Charles Wetlierell, after which thii Learned Gentleman departed with Mr. Jemmet, in his carriage. and called Charles Cooper and his wife, who lived a short distance off. They came, and on going up stairs found my master lying on the bed quite dead. Two medical men examined the body, but there did not appear any external marks of violence, or any appearance, upon dissection, to justify them in stating positively that violence had been used, but they were clearly of opinion that suffocation had been the cause of death, and whether from the disease they discovered or otherwise it was impos- sible for them to say. The jury, who were most respectable, were unanimously of opinion that mur- Greal as was the difficulty which, it seems, Plank der had been committed from tbe circumstance of had in tracing out the object of his search, much Sims crying murder, and the situation in which the ""* " ... body was found, and therefore returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown.— Hampshire Telegraph.

Stewart of Appin, a chief of the tribe so named, was proprietor of a hill farm in the Braes Of Balquhidder, called Invernenty. The M' Gregors of Rob Roy's tribe claimed a right to it by ancient occupancy, and declared they would oppose to tbe uttermost the settlement of any person upon the farm not being of their own name. The . Stewarts came down with two hundred men, well armed, lo do themselves justice by main force. The M'Gregors took the field, but were unable to muster an equal strength. Rob Roy, finding himself the weaker party, asked a parley, in which he represented that both clans were friends to the King, and that he was unwilling they should be weakened by mutual more difficulty, or rather delay, took place with the other two officers who had been despatched in pursuit of Sir Charles Wetberell; for this gentle- man, it seems, gave all his domestics, & c. to under- stand that he would be at bis chambers all that evening, while,' iu fact, he never went near his chambers, but, after remaining from home to a late hour, was taken into custody at two o'clock in the morning, aud instantly conveyed before tbe same Magistrate at that hour, and he too, as well as a gentleman as bis surety, bound in equally heavy recognizances to keep the peace towards all his • Majesty's subjects, particularly Sir Edward Burteu- shaw Sugden. This, we believe, is an accurate statement of what has occurred as to this unpleasant matter. The warrants for the apprehension of these gentle- men were issued, we understand, on the sworn in- formations of one of Ihe highest personages in the country.— Morning Herald.

The gracefulness of their forms, the exquisite delicacy of their covering, the inimitable brilliancy of ( heir colours, the light and life- giving transparency of the ceded too much upon the occasion, stepped forward aud said, that where so many gallant men were met in arms, it would be shameful to part without a trial of skill, and therefore he took the freedom to invite any gentleman of the Stewarts present to ex- change a few blows with him for the honour of their respective elans. The brother- in- law of Appin, and second chieftain of the clan, Alaster Stewart of Invernahyle, accepted the challenge, aud they encountered with broadsword and target before their respective kinsmen. The combat lasted till Rob received a slight wound in the. arm, which was the usual termination of such a combat when fought for honour only, aud not with a mortal purpose.

The time of his death is not known with certainty, but he is generally said to have survived 1738, aiid to have died an aged man. When he found himself approaching his final change, be expressed some contrition for particular parts of his life. His wife laughed at these scruples of conscience, and ex boi led him to die like a man, as he had lived. In reply, he rebuked her for her violent passions, and the counsels she had given him. Yon have put strife," he said, " betwixt ine and the best men of the country, and now you would place enmity between me and my God." There is a tradition, 110 way inconsistent with the former, if the character of Rob Roy be justly considered, that, while 011 his death- bed, he learned that a person, with whom he was at enmity, proposed to visit him. —" Raise ine from my bed," said the invalid; " throw my plaid around me, aud briag me my claymore, dirk, and pistols— it shall never be said that a foeman saw Itob Roy M'Gregor defenceless and unarmed." His foeman, conjectured to be one of the M' Larens before and after mentioned, entered aud paid his compliments, enquiring after the health of his formidable neighbour. Rob Roy maintained a cold, haughty civility during then- short conference, and so soon as lie had felt the house, " Now," said be, " all is over— let the piper play IIa tit mi tulidh ( we return 110 more)," and lie is said lo have expired before the dirge was finished. This singular man died 111 bed in his own house, in the parish of Balqnhiddev. He was buried in the churchyard of the same parish, where bis tomb- stone is only distinguished by a rude attempt at Ihe figure of a broadsword.— Waverley Novels, new edition.— Rob Roy. their habits, the delightful melody of their songs, and the most singular fact, that with organs apparently more unfitted for articulation than many of the quadrupeds, they are the only animals that can imitate inan in the wonders of voice, and rival him in the intricacy of music : these, and a thousand other qualities, render the study of birds a favourite of every elegant mind. Even the fleetest of quadrupeds is heavy and lumbering in comparison. We boast of the greyhound, which lies panting and breathless upon the earth if it courses round a moderately- sized field, or the race- horse that is exhausted with a three- mile heat; but what are these to the little swift, that can awaken from the eaves of an English cottage in the morning, and nestle in the date- tree on the borders of the great desert of Sahara before the sun be down. That little twilterer is the very Puck of creation : it cannot, indeed, " Put a girdle round about the earth la forty minutes;" but, at the rate of 250 miles an hour, which is con- siderably within the computation of Spallanz- ini, it ran cincture the globe in less than four days, and thus be from England to Africa in the brief space of four hours: even the eider- duck, apparently un- wieldy as it is, could breakfast in fLustue** an I sup in Kent; and, let the storm blow its worst, the gulden eagle can d. i h right in the teeth of it. at tJie rate of forty miles an hour. SNEEZING.— Father Tachird, in his Voyages, ( 1. v.) informs us, that the Siamese imagine that the supreme judge of hell is eternally minuting, in a memorandum book, the lives and actions of ail man- kind ; and when he turns to the title- page of any particular person's life, the page sneezes, and we mortal- sympathetically sneeze with it. Hence arose the custom of wishing long life to Ihe sneezer. The custom of using some kind of adjuration after sneez- ing is very ancient, and appears to have been very extensive in its application. It is common in Europe, in Asia, and in America; and the ancient Greeks regarded sneezing 11s an omen, whence tiiey derived prediction. Severn! causes have been assigned for the origin of this custom; and Father Feyjoo has attributed it to the ordinance of Pope Gregory, who instituted a short prayer to be used 011 such occasions, at a time when a pestilence raged, the fatal crisis of which was indicated by s • eezin; i- The Rabbis have a talc, that before tbe time of Jacob men never sneezed but. once, and then immediately died. The patriarchs, they say, obtained a revocation of this law, the memory of which was ordered to be pre- served in all nations by some salutary exclamation after sneezing. These accounts are all fabulous, the pious fictions of pious old men. Aristotle, Apuleiu , Petronius Arbiter, and other ancient writers, often allude to the custom.

IRELAND.— l$ epeal of the Union!— The misno- mcred " Emancipation Bill," we cannot forget, was to he the grand panacea for all the ills, political, moral and religious, which have afiiictcd Ireland for the last half century j the audacity and treason of agitators were speedily to be suppressed— the torch of rebellion was immediately to be seen glimmering and dying in the socket- the annals of the Country were no longer to be stained with human blood- r- rapine and desola- tion were to be chased away, and " the fair, delightful scenes of peace" and contentment were sppn to be witnessed in every district. We, however, did not predict peace, where we knew there would be no peace : and how fur those who have led the Constitu- tion down hill can answer to themselves for their misconduct we shall not here discuss : but we would refer to another scene acted in Dublin last, week, in which the " Great Agitator" was the principal per- former. To those who are inclined to treat this man's vapid, nonsense with contempt,, we shall only say, nonsense though it be, it was precisely to such rhodomontadc that the British Constitution was sacrificed : what further degrees in the retrograde march are to he taken, time only can decide : all political confidence is destroyed : and we must " bide the time."

To the Editor of' the Salopian Journal. SIR, The statements which appeared in your last Journal, relative to the proposed change of Irish Road through Shropshire, are calculated to excite more than com- mon attention in the minds of those who feel that they Irave an interest, not only in this county, but in that portion of the Empire called by the name of England. The writer of the Utter signed " A. B." in your last Paper, however I may dissent from his con- clusions, d< serves some consideration, if it were only for the candour— or rather the haidihood— with which he has stated his view of the subject: for although it is evident that he has counted upon auxiliaries whose aid he will not receive, yet he has put the case on that footing to which alone it can have any pretension \ and he has fairly and nnblush- ingly made the declaration, which many of similar views and wishes would have shrunk from uttering, that he cares not how much public money is spent — how much is jobbed and squandered— so that he can himself participate in the spoil, and pocket at least a portion of that which, though it may be wrung from the necessities or the injuries of others, will in its p ojected course flow in a direction that must tend to his individual benefit. He has, how » ver, set forth two positions, equally bold and equally unfounded: both are, not wit h- s'andjng, in the ascendant at present ; and they alike caM for the scorn and the indignant exertions of Englishmen 1 he first is, that because a certain sum of public money, say £ 70,000 or more, may be spent in Shropshire, we ought to hail the job as a blessing in these times! the writer either not carin •;, or not considering, that the fancicd benefit is more than counterpoised by the continual drain of money from this and other comities, for jobs in distant places, at each of uhuh, no doubt, some other patriotic • eligible. " A. B." is congiatulating himself and his neighbours ' ——— « on the quantity of public money— the more the better! that is there to be expended. T he other pn position of " A. B." is that, by which he designates Inland as " THE ? iio.-. t important part " f the Empin." The late proceedings of our Legislators have certainly, as far as in them lay, tended to prostrate. England and English interests; but still, 1 trust, Englishmen, as a body, are not pre- pared to assent to this proposition, however the majority of their Representatives may have thought fit basely to succumb to the Irish faction. I, for one, deny that Ireland is " the most important part of the Empire;" and though, unhappily, for some years past, the dogmas of Scotch economists and the declamations of Irish demagogues have prevailed in our " degenerate" Senate; yet I fervently hope the day is not distant when a new race of thorough- going Englishmen will arise, to rescue their country from the horde of jobbers, theorists, and imbeciles, by whom it has been plundered, degraded, and betrayed. An important matter connected with the Irish Road seems to have been lost sight of in both the statements published in your last Journal: and as some of those who are now active in the business have it in their power to answer tny question, 1 would just ask— Whether one at least of the Holyhead Road Commissioners does not receive a thumping salary for superintending the diversions of that road made in Shropshire and in other counties; and whether a celebrated Engineer does not receive a per centage ( or similar equivalent) on the money expended in these diversions ? The question is one that can and ought to be explicitly answered : because if, as is generally believed, those parties are so salaried and paid, they must, like " A. B." think the more that is spent the better! — but, like the frogs in the fable, we, who have to pay the piper, shall be of opinion, that what is diversion to them, must be very differently . characterized by us: and it will then also be apparent, that while the public purse can thus be dipped into, and thf Irish faction continues ! dominant, the persons 1 allude to will follow on their ! very profitable diversion, and laugh, as well they may, at the folly of those who, by permitting their Legislature to be formed of such individuals as at present constitute its majority, arc tamely plundered of every thing that is valuable, not only in their establishments, but even in the very article as to which the men who care only for their own interests, are most commonly pretty anxious to secure— but which, they may rely upon it, is, under the present system, in as fair a way of being jobbed, theorised, and diverted out of their care and keeping as the most active Irish Commissioner or Scotch Engineei could hope or anticipate. 1 am, Sir, Your's, & c. December 21, 1829 C. D. On Thursday, the 10th instant, John Edwards, jun. Esq. eldest son and heir- apparent of the Worthy gentleman of that name, whose family has for a long period been seated at GRKAT NESS, in this county, attained hi* majority; and, notwithstanding the general aspect of farming affairs, the expressions of esteem and regard due from a respectable tenantry and neighbourhood, to the family of a considerate, worthy, and esteemed landlord and magistrate, were on this occasion such as did honour to all parties. The morning having been duly welcomed by the discharge of cannon, ringing of bells, and Other demonstrations of joy, a noble ox, fed for the occasion, was given by Mr. Edwards to his cottage- tenants and the labouring population of the vicinity, together with a requisite portion of prime stingo, nearly as old as the young gentleman whose health was pledged in it. A fine ox was also given to the poor by Messrs-.' Thomas and Andrew Mansell, and another by a general subscription of the tenants and well- wishers of the family, together with a beautiful sheep.; these, previous to distribution, were escorted in proc.- ssion throughout the village and vicinity, followed by three barrels of excellent ale, as an accompaniment not unwelcome, but rather most indispensable on such an occasion. The oxen having been distributed, and the sheep, & c. duly roasted and divided to the attendant throng, about 50 of the principal tenantry and neighbours sat, down to an excellent dinner at the Tiiree Pigeons Inn, NesscliiT, where the glass went merrily round in bumper toasts to the health of the young Beir, and of every branch of his worthy Family, as also by way of accompani- ment to various loyal and local toasts and songs judiciously introduced, and to which the most ample justice was administered. I The morning of Thursday, the 10th instant, was ushered m at. RUYTON- OF- TKK- ELEVKN- TOAVNS, in this county, by the ringing of bells and other demonstrations of joy, to celebrate the coming- of- age of John Edwards, jun. Esq. of Great Ness. At an early hour in the morning a very fat ox, with a sheep, the products of a voluntary subscription by the inhabitants of the parish, were put upon a waggon, and, preceded by two flags ( bearing appropriate mottos) with a band of music, and accompanied by several- respectable inhabitants of the parish, they were paraded over the Cliff to Great Ness, from thence to Nesscliff, and back to Ruyton, where the ox and sheep were cut up and given to the poor, with a suitable quantity of bread, See. The children of the National . School at Ruyion, upwards of a hundred, and to which establishment Mrs. Edwards is a sub- scriber, accompanied the procession, and upon their return to Ruyton were plentifully regaled with plum cake and spiced drink. In the evening a respectable body of the inhabitants of the parish dined together at the Powis Arms Inn, where the glass was sent merrily round to the health of the young gentleman and to the House of Great Ness, their connexions, and friends. There was also a dining party aud a dance at the Admiral Benbow Inn, in Ruyton, upon the like occasion. rIMIE ANNUAL BALL for the Benefit a of the OSWESTRY DISPENSARY, will he held at the WYNNSTAY ARMS IMN, upon Wednesday, December 301b, LADIES PATBONRSSBS.

During the last assizes, in a case of assault and battery, where a stone had been thrown by the defendant, the following clear and conclusive evi- dence was drawn out of a Yorkshireman :— Did you see the defendant throw the stone?— I saw a stone, and Tze pretty sure the defendant thro wed it. Was it a large stone ?— 1 should say it wur a large- it- h stone. What was its size ?— I should say a sizeable stone. Can't you answer definitely how big it was?— 1 should say it wur a stone of some bigness. Can't you give the jury some idea of the stone ? — Why, as near as I recollect, it wur something of a st< ne. Can't you compare it to some other object?— Why, if 1 wur to compare it, so as to give some notion of the stone, 1 should say it w ur as large as a lump of chalk. FRANCE.— A table has been published by Mr. Dupin, a Frenchman, and copied into some English newspapers, from which " it appears that the 22,500,000 inhabitants of France, w ho form the last three classes, are reduced to provide all the necessaries of life with eight sous, six sous and a half, and five sons per day. It, would be - difficult to conceive the possibility of this, if it were not proved that seven millions and a half of Frenchmen eat little or no bread ; that barley, rye, boiled buck wheat, chesnuts, dry vegetables, a small quantity of potatoes, and water, are the only means of existence which that part, of the population possesses, and which is obliged to use stubble or heath for fuel."— This publication has excited the attention of the Parisian correspond- ent of a London Journal, who says— The alleged calculations" are all humbug ! The revenue of the country is ten times what it is stated to he, and there are not, 750,000 persons in all France who have only five sous a day to live upon. Nothing can possibly be easier than <; liberal arithmetic." Round numbers can be written on paper by any radical Cocker- would- be arithmetician, and it is easy to divide seven billions of francs by thirty- two millions. But where do we get the seven billions from ? The net. revenue from funded property is the only thing that can be known; and all the rest is cote gauche conjecture, and gauche enough it is! But it serves for the moment to talk about. It, is another liberal tub, thrown out to the whale. The people are tickled for the moment; and another Viva! is given for the Liberal Deputies of the Chamber. Let M. Dupin or the Courrier des Electeurs point out any department in France where the people or the mass of the people live on buck wheat, chesnuts, and dry vegetables, and we shall understand him. We shall then be able to examine his statements and personally investigate the truth of his rep< r: s. But 1 have seen much of France; I have visited the cabins as well as entered the palace; I have traversed the Jura, and wound my way by fhe Pay of Biscay,— and I declare that 1 never yet saw the man living constantly on five sous per day, and never witnessed a tithe of misery which exists in either England or Ireland.— I have occupied much of your time with this subject., but it is necessary, to disabuse the public mind of prejudices, which state- ments like those 1 have quoted, are likely, and, indeed, sure to engender." WELSH JUDICATURE.— A letter on this important subject, from a Correspondent in Montgomeryshire, i inserted in otir 4th page. Miss Salter's Annual Juvenile Ball was held at the Golden Lion Inn, DolgeMev, on Friday last;- when the Pupils gratified a respectable aud numerous assemblage of spectators by the precision and ease with which they accomplished the most intricate dances, fully testifying the extreme care and attention of their talented Governess. The company afterr wards danced to That magic Harp, whose strains, in warlike days, Were wont the patriotic flam » * to raise, Whose pow'r the peaceful breast with rapture fills, Binding ' he Cymru ever to their hills: Blest land, where social tnir'tn fell care disarms, And Winter s- uiles, o'ercoihe bv Music's charms! PREFERMENT.— The Rev. Robert Lloyd Anwyl Roberts, A. M. of Brynmorfydd, has been collated by the I ord Bishop of Bangor to the Rectory of Llan- gwyfan, in the county of Denbigh, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. John Nanney Wynne, Clerk. The late Rev. JOHN JENKINS, A. M. Vicar of Kerry, Prebendary of York and of Brecknock, Rural Dean of Melenith- ultra Hhon, in the Archdeaconry of Brecknock, one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county of Montgomery, and Chaplain to his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, has had the following just tribute rendered to his memory by a correspondent of the Carmarthen Journal :— " Courteous in his manners and affable in his . de- meanour, firm to his purposes and true to his engage- ments, his house was always open for the hospitable reception of his friends, and his heart delighted in entertaining them; an impartial and intelligent Magistrate, zealous and conscientious Pastor, dearly b loved by his relatives and friends, greatly respected by a very extensive acquaintance, and deeply revered by all the inhabitants of a large parish ; his loss will be severely felt, and a chasm occasioned by his death in the society of the district not to be speedily and easily supplied. On the Friday succeeding the day of his decease, his remains were consigned to the grave, just before that Table, where he had for upwards of twenty- two years ( the period of his ministry in the parish) distributed the elements of the Holy Communion to the devout Communicants. And although it was intended by his sorrowing relatives that, the funeral should be literally private, yet his deeply afflicted and lamenting parishioners, in order to express their wounded feelings on the mournful occasion, and to testify their great respect to their deceased Minister, had previously agreed, in public vestry, to the number of one hundred and eighty three, to provide themselves wi; h hatbands and gloves, and attend his remains to the grave: accordingly they met at an appointed place, from whence, accompanied by a great concourse of those of the lower station, they followed his body to the Church, and in devout silence heard the mournful service, and witnessed the mAMinr isiimAiLijSo SflREWSBUR Y.

THE TWO EXTREMES.— A respectable farmer related to us on Friday last, that he had that day received sixteen guineas for the same quantity of barley which brought him, some few years back sirty guineas.— Essex Herald.

The Annual Dinner of the Trinitarian Orphan Charity took place oh Monday, at Morrison's. Mr. O'Connell presided, with Mr. D. Ronayne as Vice- President. After " The People, the genuine source of legitimate power," arid " The King," had been given— The Chairman rose, and said, I confess that, when presiding at meetings of this description, which com- bine cJiarity with politics, and which now aftoril almost the only opportunities of thinking aloud on subjects connected with the good of our country, 1 feel impatient for the third toast, " Old Ireland, and a Repeal of the Union." ( Lo'id cheers. J Yes, I have struck the chord which is entwined round the Irish heart, and which must vibrate at the sound of Old Ireland and the Repeal of the Union. Cloud cheers. J I received, during the week, an anonymous letter, inclosing £ 1 as the subscription of the writer to the Anti- Union Society. He may be sincere in his intention ; but as he has not given his name, he rs a skulker; and although I admire the sentiments which lie professes, I reject his proffered aid, because he has not the manliness to give his name. That the Union will and must be repealed, 1 entertain no more doubt of than I have of my own existence. (' Cheers. J There is too much of Vitality in Ireland to permit her to continue in her present degraded condition. She is too great and too powerful to be a pitiful province under the domination of any foreign Government whatever, f Cheers, a,.. d Hear, hear. J We have much to contend with. The English Press is natur- ally against us, for their advocacy is in favour of their own country, and they oppose a project which I espouse for the benefit of my native land ; but it is with regret 1 find a portion of the Irish journals, which 1 was in the habit of so often calling the honest press, arrayed against us, and appealing to the pride ot Englishmen, by stating that our object was the conquest of England. It is said that the discus- sion of tbe repeal of the Union will absorb all other topics. The only body that now assembles in Dublin is the society tor the Improvement of Ireland. Long as it shall continue to sit, 1 promise you it shall not want subjects connected with the interests of Ireland for discussion; while, at the same time, I engage myself in the repeal of the Union. I have called the attention of the same Society to the currency ques- tion ; and if I am not prevented by professional business, I shall be prepared to lay before it a plan for the provision of the poor of Ireland. I will not bring before it a system of poor laws, which would give unlimited powers to trading, jobbing, and parti- zan magistrates; not such poor laws as would enable an absentee landlord to beggar bis tenants, and then leave them to be supported by the industrious portion of the community ; not such as would produce that tlort' of immorality that runs in a hell- tide torrent through the sluices of the poor laws of England, but poor laws derived from the propeity of the absentees and from that portion of the Church Establishment which originally belonged to the poor, and which that Establishment has usurped. The next objection to the repeal of the Union is, that we would have a bad Parliament if the Union were repealed. That 1 - deny ; we would not have the sa'nie men who com- posed the last IrfVli Parliament; but even if it. were so, that Parliament would be better than a British one. Within the space of twelve years the Irish Parliament six times set at defiance the Ministerial power, and declared for Ireland. Tbe British Par- liament never did so three times, that I have heard of, in the space of the last half century. But who is there that thinks that the. rotten boroughs would be restored w ith a new Irish Parliament ? The owners, as they were called, of those boroughs have been paid for them. Nobody, I imagine, would think, for instance, of allowing that the £ 11,000 which went into the pockets of Lord Glendower should remain there, and that his representatives should have a new borough?— and the period for the people- creating rotten boroughs lias for ever passed by. Out of the 100 Irish members, there are 64 returned for counties — Dublin returns two, that is 66 — Cork returns two, that is 63— one for Limerick, 69— one for Waterford, 70— Newry, which now may be considered an open borough, 71— Dungarvan is, and shall be, open, 72—- Downpatrick, 73— Galway is likely to be open, 74— and Mallow, which is an open borough, 75. There arc seventy five out of the hundred members, which leaves but twenty five votes to the corruptionists; but with a Parliament restored to Ireland, could any rotten boroughs be permitted to exist? No; for a repeal of the Union would be a Reform of the Par- liament of Ireland; every member of it would be a portion of the popular representation. Those who now oppose the repeal of the Union wish, they say, to have an Irish interest in the British Parliament; I wish to have nothing but an Irish interest. All they struggle for is the tail of a party, which they would call an Irish intertst. 1 want to have a Parliament united on Irish interests, and we never can get that till wc have a Parliament in Ireland. ( Hear, and cheers. J Great as is my respect for the disinterest- edness of John Bull, and great as is my regard for the sagacity of his brother Sawney, still I think that an Irish Parliament would do more for Ireland, than could a Parliament of English and Scotch do for us Can any one be so absurd as to say that we have not talent enough to conduct a Parliament in Ireland, and if we are equal to the English or Scotch in intellect, assuredly it will not be averred that we are their inferiors in honesty. Those who maintain that we are not fit to govern ourselves may be Irishmen in name, but they only demonstrate this— that they are only tit to l » e hewers of wood and drawers of water to the English and the Scotch. ( Cheers. J I cannot see in Irishmen any inferiority to any other men L the world, and until I see that, I never can concede that Englishmen and Scotchmen are better able to govern Ireland than Irishmen themselves. If an Irish Parliament were returned to Dublin, what would be the immediate consequence ? They would stem the torrent of absenteeism, and they would prevent the capital which is now drawn out of the country from leaving it. One hundred noblemen should have houses in Dublin, and three hundred of gentry ; and the three millions taken annually out of Ireland remain in it; and who could calculate on the advantages that must follow from the employment of the industrious poor in the country ? Would not many beneficial consequences flow from the influence which the Irish mind must have over an Irish legislature ? Every country under the dominion of Britain has a Parliament but Ireland. Each of the Canadas has a local Parliament— Jamaica— all the West India Islands have their Parliaments— Ireland alone is deprived of its local Parliament—( Hear.) Let those then w ho join with the Quarterly Review in thinking that Ireland is a degraded country, acquiesce in that degradation— but let those who think that Irishmen are capable of legislating for Ireland, join with me in my struggle for a repeal of the Union—( Loud cheersj' The man who does not mind bis own affairs, but leaves them to another man fo take care of," must be ruined. It is so with nations Ireland is not in its infancy, and requires no guardian The time of Ireland's madness has passed hy. When madness raged in this country, Irishmen were divided against each other. Protestants were arrayed against Catholics ; the country was disturbed by a revolu tionary mania which sprung up in the North religious animosities were poured into the poisonous cauldron ; it was a period of madness, and the Irish Parliament was bought, and terrified into the Union ( Cheers J It was an unholy compact, and should not be continued. I am told" that one objection to the plan is, that if is a Catholic measure ; it is not a Catholic, nor a Protestant, but an Irish measure. If the Parliament were returned to Ireland, there would he out of 120 Peers, only six Roman Catholic Noble ' men. Could that be called a Catholic measure which would place so many Protestants in Parlia- ment with « o sninll a number of Catholics? Would not tbe King be a Protestant, and he would be Ihe person to create peers. Then, in the House of Com- mons, would not Protestant property command its just, influence in elections for Protestant Members. Here Protestants and Catholics meet on an equality — here they can struggle together for their common country;, and give me but twenty Protestants to join with me in a struggle for fhe repeal of the Uniotl, and the Anti- Union Society at once commence*. The dinner, which was to have been held on the 17th of this month, must be postponed on account of the continuance of Term. At that dinner, Irishmen with- out distinction of creed will meet; within the ensuing month that dinner will take place, and from it will emanate a Society, which will continue until I see that glorious day, when the Lord Lieutenant comes down to open the Parliament. I propose to you, « Old Ireland and the repeal of the Union." The toast was received with long continued cheers. fBi0cctlancoti0 JntclUgencr. WORCESTER, DPC. 18— This city was thrown info much consternation last night by a fire which occur- red in Doldy, in the extensive workshops and pre- mises of Mr. Isaac Peniliertou, brush- maker, of the Broad- street, and which, although productive of considerable mischief, was happily not attended with those serious and devastating consequences which, from the confined situation of the buildings, the nature of their contents, and the large and seasoned stock of timber in their immediate vicinity, were at. first apprehended. The flames broke out about a quarter before eleven, and, as is conjectured, in the lower part of one of tbe workshops; they were first discovered, we understand, by a female, who instantly gave the alarm, and which was iihmediatel. y spread throughout the city by the tolling of the belis of Ail Saints' and tbe other churches. Fortunately ( lie hour was that at which the inhabitants for the most part had not retired to rest, and within a very few minutes the scene of destruction became thronged with multitudes from all directions. The engines of the city, four in number, were also hastened to the spot. . Two of them alone, however, were in a state to be at all available, viz. the one'belonging fo the Birmingham Fire offics, w hich, being in excellent order, was speedily got to work, and was most < fli- Tlie London Mail to fliis city on Tuesday was two hours behind its time, owing to the dense fog which it had to pass through on leaving the metropolis. Men and boys, with links, thronged the stfeet- 3, and it was searccly safe for a foot passenger to cross from ore side of the street to the other. To. carriages fhe| danger was extreme. The stage- coaches were ac- companied some distance out. of town by persons carrying light*; but, even thus assisted, could scarcely venture to pf. a- eeu . it the elite of two miles an huut'.-— Bristol Journal.

The exertions of all, how- ever, were unremittingly continued until the likeli- hood of farther danger from the rekindling of the flames was removed, aud this was effected about three o'clock. The workshop in which the fire originated is completely gutted, and likewise some small adjoin- ing buildings ; much of the converted stock and tools is also burnt or rendered useless ; but of the amount of damage sustained it is not possible as yet to form any estimate. Both buildings and stock ( the former being fhe property of Mr. Peiiiberton, sen.) were insured in the Birmingham Fire- oftice. No material accident of a personal nature occurred.

C'OAL MINES OF GRIAT BRITAIN.— Good coal, where it abounds, is now for ordinary purposes by much the cheapest kind of fuel ; and since within a few years men have learned to obtain from it separ- ately, and to use, instead of oil and wax, its illumi- nating gas, viz. its hydrogen, holding in solution a little carbon, it has become doubly precious to them A person reflecting that heat is tlie magic power which vivifies nature, and that coal is what, best gives heat for the endless purposes of human society, cannot without admiration think of the rich stores of coal which exist treasured up in the bowels of the earth for man's use ; and Britain, in this respect, is singularly favoured. Her coal mines are, in effect, mines of labour or power vastly more precious than the gold and silver mines of Peru,— for they may be said to produce every thing which labour and ingenuity can produce, and they have essentially contributed to make her mistress of the industry and commerce of the earth. Britain has become to the civilised world around, nearly what an ordinary town is to the rural district in which it stands ; and of this vast and glorious city the mines in question are the coal- cellars, stored at the present rate of consumption for about 1000 years ; a supply which, as coming- improvements in the arts of life will naturally bring economy of fuel, or substitution of other means to effect similar purposes, may be regarded as exhaust- less.— Dr. Arnotfs Elements of t'hvsics.

On Wednesday afternoon, about three o'clock, a tremendous explosion, took place in the house of Mr. Parry, the King's Head, in the Oid Shambles, which shook all the surrounding buildings, and was similar in its effects to an explosion of gunpowder. Tho accident was occasioned, it appears, by an escape of gas into the cellar of the house. The Gas Directors, in December 1828, had given directions to lay down a new main pipe along part of the street where Jho public house is situated, the old one not being of suilicient dimensions, but it was not carried through the whole length of the street; and the old main pipe not having been removed at that time, part of the gas- tenants were supplied front the old pipe, whilst others had their supply pipes inserted into the new main, both mains being supplied by the principal main in the Market Place. A few days before, ou the discovery of an escape of gas into the premises of Mr. Wilmot, two doors from the King's Head, the gas- men were sent to examine the cause of it, aud found that it proceeded from the old main. They consequently determined to take it up, and connect ail the supply pipes with the new main. They whre proceeding with this work when the explosion oc- curred. In removing the service- pipe that supplied the public- house, the workmen had inadvertently wrenched off lite iron service- pipe from the lead pipe Connected with the gas- meter within the premises. Owing to this the gas escaped through the pipe and immediately filled the place, and coming in contact with a fire under a boiler in the cellar it exploded. So great was the effect of the shock, that the floors of all the rooms in the first, story were. blown up, and nearly demolished, the whole of the windows with their frames entirely shattered to pieces, and the fragments driven to some distance ; the partition wails of the cellar and ground floor were bulged in ; the walls of many of the upper rooms were also much shaken, and the door- frames so damaged, that the doors could not be, shut. The furniture in the lower story was thrown up to the ceiling and broken to pieces, and the benches round the news room torn away from the walls and scattered about the room. At the time of the accident there were seven persons in the house; and considering the extent of the damage to the premises, it appears astonishing that any of them escaped with tneir lives; but we are happy to say that the injury which they have sus- tained is comparatively slight. At the time of the explosion Mrs Parry, with her daughter, vVere standing in the bar, the floor of which, on being blown up presented a chasm through which the younger female fell into the cellar, and Mrs. Parry was only prevented from falling by clinging, to some part which had not given way ; they were soon, however, rescued from their perilous situation by some persons coming to their assistance. Mrs Parry and her daughter were both much scorched, but did not otherwise receive any injury. Two or three of the other persons in the house received some slight, contusions. The extent of the damage could not be ascertained, on account of the danger incurred by taking a light into the premises, until the supply pipe was cut off from the main, thereby preventing any further accumulation of gas ; and Police- officers were stationed to preserve the property in the house from lepredation. The Gas Directors have since taken up the whole of the old main pipe from the Market Place to Smithy Door. We understand that the expense of repairing the house, and the other damage which Mr. Parry hag sustained, will be paid by the Gas Directors. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. From the Morning Herald.

INSOLVENTS.— William Brown, of Norwich, sliawl. maiiiifuciuier and hiever —( buries Price, of Strand umbrella. manufacturer,— Thomas Farrnul, ol Egliaui upholsterer, cabinet.. nuker, and paper- hanger. The Morning Paper which expressed its satisfaction, the other day, at the inability of the farmers to pay their rents throughout the country, anil wished to see the instances of their insolvency more numerous, is likely to he gratified to the utmost extent of its patriotic desires. The list of abatements of r- : it and lithe increases daily; these abatements are the sacrifice which the landlord and tbe tithe- owner make to the distresses of the country, they are the consequence and the proof of those distresses. When agriculture flourished— when the labours of the plough produced a " golden harvest"— we heard of 110 abatements, Why should we expect voluntary and generous sacrifices from the landowners any more than from the fundholders? Why should the one class give up a portion ol* their rent any more than the other give up a portion of their interest? But then, says the Journal in question, the payment of the interest of tbe debt is a sr. cred obligation. So, we say, all contracts should be sacred, and the con- tract by which the landlord is entitled to a certain rent ought to be as inviolate as that by which the public creditor is entitled to a certain interest. Why, then, are the landlords all through t'. ie conn ry making abatements of 10, 15, 25, and even 30 per cent? Simply because they cannot get more than they lake without ruining their tenants, and thus putting their own interests in a worse condition than they have been already reduced fo by tbe operation of " tbe debt," and the calamitous policy of govern- ment. The ftiridholder still gets bis interest— the means are still forthcoming, and therefore he makes no abatement. Whenever a time comes that he does not receive all, it will be a matter of necessity, not of choice— it w. ll bo an application of the maxim, salus populi snprema est lex, and nothing'else. We do not think it just that the landed intc re- d should k- particulatly pointed at as the proper object for the spoliation arising out of that necessity. If one cla> s be obliged to sacrifice a great deal, other classes ought at least to sacrifice something to the public good. If the vessel be in danger of foundering iu Ihe storm, and it be necessary to throw part of the cargo overboard, the damage should be borne pru- portionably by all those wlm have an interest in her preservation. ' I he ' S'imes rejoices to see the land- owners suffer— chuckles over the probable downfall of their esJablishm'ents :- and advises the " Hero of Waterloo" to make war up- ui their kennels, au. l drive their fox- hounds from Ihe fielu. The Duke of Wellington is himself a sportsman, the miseries of the country have not caused him to a'j-' ain in any degree from his favourite amusement, nor have the cares of the state made him less ardently pursue the excite ment. of rustic pastime. Cruel indeed would it be in him to make war upon field sports; and, if he did so, no country gentleman would pity him it, like Aclcon, he were turned upon hy his uwn hounds. No, before he takes the advice oi' the ' limes, and puts whole troops of Nimrods hart de combat, let him try what can be done to alleviate the public burdens by a judicious system of retrenchment, and economy. I ot ministers make abatements from their salaries as well as country gentlemen from their n nts ; and let the great sinecurists give back to the country fhe revenues which pampered idleness extracts from the resources of a suffering pcoj le.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY, [ From the Standard.} Of the existence of the hope that the present miser- able condition of affairs is but temporary, we have never doubted ; in that hope, on the other hand, we heartily concur. " Nunquam desperandum est de rcpublicahas always been our cherished principle but as " temporaryV is a wide term, and as the means of cure for the existing evil may be variously sur- mised, we perhaps should be found to differ from some of our contemporaries as to the probable dura- tion of the public suffering, and as to the measures I'ikclv to terminate it. One proposition,— the period during which it is forbidden to expect amendment- will explain our views;— until the quacks and theii abettors are turned out, things must become worse 3^ ct the Duke of Wellington be restored to Strath fiehlsay, and to those affectionate recollections of his services which he has too cruelly forced from the minds of his fellow subjects during- the last twelve months;— let us have men lhat would be contented to administer the constitution, and to follow the com mercial system, which they find strong and flourish ing beyond all precedent in the history of the world, without breaking in upon the one, or breaking down the other;— let the existing channels of industry, manufacturing, agricultural, and commercial, be placed under the guardianship of ministers, who will not capriciously cut away their embankments, and all these channels will soon be abundantly supplied with capital. Ettl in the name of common sense, what prudent man will now embark his property in any department of industry, when, at the suggestion of any crack- brained prig, who fancies himself a statesman, or of any voluble empiric, who affects the craft of statesmanship, that whole property may be swept away in some desolating project of free trade, ' ihe worst, the most impolitic commercial system upon which folly ever Mumbled, if secure, is better than llie most perfect in theory, if subject to fluctu- ation. ' 1' his indeed, is Ibe defence of ( lie present Ministers, but it ought to be their condemnation: they have changed from good to bad ; and they sa j, thai as any change is an evil, no Ministry can now go back. Perhaps they are right ; but in Ihe force of their argument they pass the heaviest sentence upon them selves -" Malum consilium est quoit r. on mntari pctest." They have given a counsel which is doubly evjl— evil in its direct operation, and evil, because, as they say, it is irremediable. What right, then, have they to expect that the people will not suppose them ns capable of betraying Ihe public interests hereafter ns they have shown themselves heretofore? Above all. what right have they to demand a greater share of public confidence than the men who have through out opposed Ihe calamitous system which, as the quark* exultingly assert, Ihcy have clenched and livetted immoveably upon the country? The new system is bad ; but we do not believe that any system could be contrived, under which the elastic spirit of the present race of Englishmen would not make ils way to a. cure, that is, provided any confidence could be placed in its stability : and we are sure lhat no confidence can be placed in the stability of a system administered by such men as the Duke of Wellington or Mr. Peel, aided by Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Grant. The funds will rise, because, as yet, public credit is scarcely at the mercy of these persons; but no man will embark money in tiade on reliance upon their wisdom, or through faith in their consistency ! The first step to recovery must be to get rid of the present men ; and if I hey are not soon got rid of, perhaps it may be too late. By " s on,' 1 we do not mean this day, to- morrow, or even this year, but some time before the existing generation of working manufacturers are starved off, or have emigrated and before the capital which has been hitherto invested in British manufactures, or farming, or commerce, be removed to the continent for w hat a cotemporary says of the cosmopolitism of money is perfectly true. Security being the same, it will be employed wherever most can be made of it. Hitherto security and skill have been altogether on oar side; and through these we have obtained the ascendancy which the quacks are throwing away. Our nation has never been bankrupt; hence the comparatively higher price of our funds. Hitherto our legislature was not capricious in dealing with commerce; hence capitalists never scrupled to em- bark their money in British trade: and this confidence begot a high and generous spirit of mercantile honour on one side, and cultivated an exquisite skill in work- manship on the other. But it is not difficult to see lhat an opposite course will produce opposite> con- sequences; a halting trade will make shifty and illiberal masters, and precarious employment will make slovenly and negligent workmen ; and the very cause ( the removal of capital) which will by tbis pro- cess deleriorate the manufactures of England, will be at work to improve tire rival manufactures of the Continent. This is what we must look to, if the present people are to remain at the head of the English government for any considerable time ; and if this twofold process of ruin go on for such a con- siderable time, it will be too late to hope for a recovery. [ From tie Morning Journal.] It is somewhat difficult to determine whether the fories or the whigs are most responsible for the pre- sent condition of the country. This proposition will, we know, startle some of our friends, but it is a question, nevertheless, which we often hear asked, but never satisfactorily answered. Every man, no matter to what party he belongs— no matter whether he be a landowner or a merchant — a farmer or weaver— a member of Parliament or a member of Ihe Stock Exchange— is conceived to have an equal interest in the welfare of his country. We do not value this interest by the value of bis acres, or his bundles of mule twist— by his corn or his scrip— but simply by that natural affection which almost every human being cherishes for the land of his birth. Each man, therefore, should be supposed equally anxious to benefit the state, and see the people pro- sperous. There are many exceptions lo the rule, we admit It cannot be applied universally: still, if we make allowances for those who love to fish only in troubled waters, and who, desperate in their con- dition, deem the ladder of revolution the last remain- ing mode of climbing to eminence and wealth— if we make allowance for these excrescences— we shall, after all, find lhat the vast majority of the people desire peace, love their country, and are ready to make any sacrifices to advance its interest. This being the case, if we see a country like Eng- land, possessed of enormous wealth, and inexhaustible resources, languishing like a patient in a mortal decline, its commerce in a state of decay, its agri- culture sickly, its merchants crest- fallen, and its labouring population contending with poverty in thousand forms, we may be certain that the fault is in the people themselves en masse, not in one particular or ascendant party. It is true that the Minister may lie more guilty ( ban the sweeper of a crossing, and that more blame may justly be ascribed to a member of Ihe Legislature than to a rogue at the treadmill; • till neither of these persons is exclusively culpable. There must be something rotten at the core of such a state. There must be a combination of evil influences. The sources of the error must be numerous ; for it is as clear as day that, if one party be chargeable with having introduced mischievous measures, some other party is equally deserving of censure for permitting their introduction. For a long period this nation was ruled and divided by two contending factions. The tories were represented as ( he aristocratical, the whigs as the popular, party. The former, while they legislated for the benefit of the community, kept too much aloof from popular approbation, and despised too much public applause. The other faction went to the other extreme; and, on all questions of great interest, the whigs fought under ( he banners of llie mob, led them into every excess, and often succeeded in defeating the Ministry by dint of filth, noise, and swinish oratory. The tories, we admit, held the reins of Government too long. They held office as if by hereditary right, They considered their position unassailable, and they consequently neglecled their outworks, and allowed all their natural and artificial defences to moulder away. During the greater part of Lord Liverpool's Administration, their chief occupation was to quarrel among themselves. They kept their old seals, like the two dogs in the Duke of Rutland's arms, grin- ning at each other. Not one honest independent man of talent did they patronise or bring into Par- liament during that long period. They bocame grey and senile in office- captious and fastidious, ili- tempered and lethargic. Meanwhile Ihe whigs, and Ihe liberals, who were whigs in disguise, were insensibly undermining them. Their incessant occupation was to seiect an indivi- dual, and dissect him piecemeal. Lord Eldon was their butt for more than ten yeans. They slandered his character, ridiculed his doublings, and doubted his decisions. Lord Liverpool was treated in a similar manner. Lord Bexley was actually laughed out of office. In short, before the tories were conscious of it, they were a discomfited party, and so scattered and mangled that they have never been able to rally since. The principles of Ihe whigs triumphed. For it would savour of childishness to assert that they are tory principles. The measures of Mr. Canning, Lord Goderich, Mr. Huskisson, the Duke of Wellington, and the present Mr. Peel, are all of whig origin. The country is indebted to the whigs for them. All the modern notions on free trade, the navigation laws, the slave question, the corn trade, Catholic emancipation, and many others, were long ago pro- mnlgated, advocated, and enforced by whigs in Par- liament or by whig writers in the Edinburgh Review. These measures— even those now sanctioned anil defended by the Duke of Wellington— all emanated from the whigs. It is no wonder, then, the tories suffered shipwreck. They perished upon the breakers which the whigs had the address to steer them upon. Having deserted their principles they lost their situations. Having slept at their posls they were discharged by their Sovereign, to the great joy of the people who are now in rags. They had with them at one | ieriod the voice and the good wishes of the landowners, the merchants, and the middle orders of society. The first are now comparatively powerless, the second must be helpless without the former, and the last class is almost, extirpated. The Minister is now entirely supported by the whig aristocracy, by the free- traders, by Ihe foreign speculators, and by the commanding legion of brokers and stock- jobbers. The people, whom the whigs made their tools, are now left to themselves. They are deserted by their former patrons. Th- ir former patrons are flirting in Ihe precincts of Downing- street— huxtering for office — jobbing with seats, cringing for commissionerships, Crawling for promotions, licking the dust for the crums that fall from the Minister's table. Where is . Sir Francis of Westminster at this pi riod of universal calamity? Where is his colleague, John ? Where is Sir James Mackintosh, Lord John Russell, Lord Nugent, Lord Lansdowne, the Lord Holland, Mr. Henry Brougham, Ihe late Mr. Lambton, Lord Ehrington, and a host of others, who led the van in toriner times ? rl hey are all in " kingdom come" for any thing we know. The men whom they led into crime, and into a thousand follies, llicy have now deserted, and have, we suppose, left to the guardian- ship of the tories. But what will the tories do for them, or even for themselves? Nothing They lie, like Dutch luggers in a deep river, waiting for what they are pleased to call the tide. There is a tide, indeed, in the affairs of men, but we fear they have niissed it. They feel, ire hnoir, for the distresses of Ihe country— they lament the fall of prices and the fall of rents— they feel the weight of taxes— those taxes which them- selves imposed - but they feel like men in a dream, and do not appear disposed to exert themselves either for their own snkes or Ibe sake of the suffering community. There is no bestirring of the dry bones — no sympathy with public suffering— no zeal, no spirit, no courage. They are as still as the grave, anil seemingly as callous as th ? nether mill stone. It is their duty as well as their interest to acl differently. Bol they, nevertheless, slumber on. The people now suspect them. T'lev allowed the Popish bill to pass with a feebler opposition in the Upper House than was expected ; and they permitted that favourable opportunity to pass of forming a defensive alliance with the great mass of the population. What ( hey may do, or mean to do, we declare we cannot divine. But as the moments fly their influence must decline, and a few weeks will tell whether they are to be relied on, or whether it be necessary to leave the adjustment of grievances to new men and the course of events. WELSH JUDICATURE. To ihe Editor of ihe Salopian Journal. 2 0 10 > 7 0 14 0 Sin,-— This subject has lately undergone rmieh consideration, and for the discussion of which many public meetings have been convened; notwith- standing which, though the general opinioti is opposed to the proposed measure, yet there are others who maintain it as salutary aiid wise. I am rather surprised that some of the oldest practition- ers in this county have not taken op the subject, whose long knowledge of the benefits resulting from the local jurisdiction ( in the opportunity it affords of facilitatiug the fecotery of debts), as well as the evils springing* from the imperfect and irre- gular practice of the Court of Great Sessions, w ould furnish them with ample means of fairly and impartially discussing the subject. Why should our countrymen be deprived of a privilege so long enjoyed? why wrest from their hands a benefit which in itself is material, and advantageous to them in a commercial point of view ? why destroy a system, because it has been abused in one or two points? or why listen to the cavils of those who either do not understand the subject, or have become prejudiced against it; assuming, instead of proving, facts, and setting down for graute'd ^ be- cause the question has been agitated) that good reasons necessarily exist for the abolition of the local jurisdiction ? I am certain, without the fear of contradiction, that if the jurisdiction of the Courts of Great Session be abolished, and the practice thrown open, it will pave the way to much inconvenience, delay, and injury to the trader and commercial man. At present a writ can be obtain- ed and executed in a few hours: whereas, if we were obliged to send to London for every writ, we should not obtain it for two or three clays; and in that period the defendant would have time to abscond, and the plaintiff in many instance's' be a consi. ierable loser. In addition to this, the profes- sional man would be a great sufferer by being obliged to employ an agent upon all occasions; whereas at present he is enabled to do all the business himself, which is also a saving to his client. Here, then, is one among numerous other advantages which the Welsh Judicature presents, aiid which Welshmen ought to be very careful how they part with. Many objections may assuredly, and with much justice, be made to the mode of practice adopted in their Courts, which certainly is of a nat tire to disgust any practitioner,, from its obscurity and want of arrangement. Rules and orders are made almost every Session ; but Hiese remain iu the Prothonotary's Note or Clrtier Book^ while the profession know nothing- about ibem, and proceed, in many instances, quite ignorant of any such rules having been made, unless mere chance developed the mystery. There is scarcely a Great Session ~ that passes without a motion being made in which the practice of the Court becomes a ques- tion, and the learned Judge usually calls in the assistance of the Prothonotary for information, but who in many instances is unable to give any decided authority on the subject, leaving* the Court to decide on the analogy, of ihe practice adopted in the Courts above, if we refer to the counties palatine, and indeed to most other . special1 juris- dictions, we find a practice as regular and as well understood as that adopted by any superior court; and the attorney can proceed with certainty. This want of system is, however, the principal evil arising from these Courts; and is it not an evil easily corrected ? and can we not retain our juris- diction with a new practice, and one that every lawyer may understand ? Let it assimilate to the practice of the Court of Common Pleas, aud surely there can be no difficulty in arranging* a mode of practice by adopting, as nearly as we . can, the practice above alluded to, so far as the entire duties devolve upon one or two officers, as. the practice of the Courts in Wales could not support as many officers as are attached to the Courts above ; and 1 am convince 1 a Committee of Professional Men could materially assist the Commissioners in form- ing such a practice, in which case the jurisdiction might be retained with much advantage to the Welsh community, as well as to those who trade largely in Wales. Another evil iu the present practice is very evident: the process of the Court is made returnable every month during the vacations between each Great Session, and also during the Session. In the first case the defendant has four- teen days to appear after the return of the writ, and twenty- eight days, after the expiration of ihe fourteen, to plead, making altogether forty- two days. This period is much too long, and bears no analogy to the practice of the other Courts. In the King's Bench the defendant has eight days to appear and plead from the return of the writ, being less time than allowed in these Courts by thirty- four days; but it may be urged, in defence of this, that our returns are more frequent than those in the Courts above : certainly they are at less distant periods, but not more in number. In every term ( which happens four times a year) there are- four returns, making sixteen in the year, and in the Great Session one in every month, making t welve, and one on the first day of each Great Session, being in al! fourteen ; but this is a difference which miyht easily be altered; for it must be admitted lhat in common actions for debt the time is much too long, aud creates an unnecessary delay, injuri- ous to the ends of justice. The plaintiff is not bound to declare on the fourteenth day, but may delay it, if he pleases, until the very eve of the Session ; so that, if he files his declaration seven clear days before the first day of the Great Session, and on giving eight days' notice of trial ( which he may do before declaration is filed, if he pleases), he will be iu a situation to try his cause at that session. A number of causes, where notice of trial has been given, are not at issue until the Great Session commences, and in the bustle of other business con- nected with the first day you have the inconveni- ence ( in the space of three days) of getting up your case, subpoenaing witnesses, & c. not knowing for a certainty whether defendant will plead or suffer judgment ; and in the event of your case having been prepared and witnesses ready, you would not be allowed these expenses, if defendant thought proper lo suffer judgment by default. For this a very easy remedy presents itself: let it be made a rule of court that issue shall be joined in every case before notice of trial can be given, the same as in the Courts above, and that no issue joined at the Great Session shall be tried until the following- Session. This will give the attorney eight clear days before the Session to prepare for the trial of his cause. Another, and a very serious grievance to the suitors of these Courts, ( particularly in this and the adjoining county, Denbighshire,) is the subject of costs, as between party and party; the allowance of expenses and payment to witnesses being so very trifling, that the party gaining the cause usually wins at a very considerable expense, and in many cases the extra costs are more than those taxed by the Prothonotary. Is it to be sup posed that an attorney can attend the trial of a cause for four or five days, incur a tavern bill and other charges, and then upon taxation be allowed only £ 1 for his attendance and expenses, leaving his client in this instance considerably out of pocket? Whereas in the King's Bench, on the trial of a cause at the assizes, the professional man is allowed two guineas per day, and his travelling expenses at the average of one shilling per mile; and even if he resides in the assize town, his allow- ance is one guinea per day. The following scale will clearly shew the difference between the allow- ances to witnesses in this Court and in the Court of King's Bench :— KING'S BENCH. Professional men for loss of time and ex- penses ( per diem) For Esquires, gentlemen, and tradesmen of superior rank, for expenses only ( ditto).... For inferior tradesmen, farmers, & c. ( ditto) For inferior description of witnesses ( ditto) For travelling, upon the average ( per mile) If professional men ive in ihe assize town ( per diem) For HOI king men residing* in assize town ( ditto) from 5s. to GREAT SESSION. Professional men ( per diem).............. £ 2 Superior witnesses on horseback, for loss of time and expenses ( ditto) Foot witnesses, for loss of time and expenses T ( ditto) No other witness, for loss of time, horse, and expenses, except a person of one of the professions, to be allowed more, unless under particular circumstances ( ditto) But a revision of the costs allowed by the Court would be consequent on the alteration of its prac- tice. Many other inconveniences exist, but to enume- rate the whole would occupy too great a space in your columns; it is sufficient to shew that evils do exist, in order lo remove them. As one interested in the question before us, and a practitioner of the Court, 1 have been induced to trespass upon your notice, that the attention of my professional brethren may be called to this import- ant question, and some means adopted to retain out- jurisdiction with an amended and perfect practice, and not entirely to be deprived of an ancient right and beneficial privilege. It has been intimated that two new Judges are to be appointed, to take the circuit of the Principality, and that several counties are to be united in order to effect this object. Certainly it must be admitted that many benefits are likely to result from Ihe attendance of one of the established Judges, aud placing us in llie same situation as Ihe English counties; but how far Gentlemen of the Grand Jury will come into the view of Ihe legislature I cannot presume to answer, or what difficulties would arise with Common Juries, unless so arranged that the Grand aud Common Juries of each united counly tried ils own causes and prisoners. In most cases, I fear, the expenses lo the county iu removing: prisoners, and also to suiters, witnesses, and jurors, would be much increased, except ill the counly where the assizes are to be held. In taking into consideration the whole subject, 1 cannot bring my mind to form but one conclusion; namely, that the abolition of the Welsh Judicature would be a'serious evil to the Principality, an injury to every trader, and a sourde of dissatisfaction to every honest Welshman. Meetings have taken place in many counties to consider the subject; why then do not professional men, w ho are most interested in the question, at once step forward, and support this ancient right, shew what injury the abolition of it W'ill inevitably bring upon t'; s, and petition Parlia- ment not to disturb the good people of Wales in the enjoyment of their ancient privileges, but to refor and amend the existing abuses, by affording us a new practice, and entire practical men as our judicial officers, who shall be compelled to execute the office appointed them in prrpria persona, and not by insufficient and uninformed deputies; as it must appear evident to any intelligent mind, that unless there be a fixed and standard practice, whether per- fect in itself, or analagous to any other, no Judge who visits our Circuit hut twice a year can possibly decide ihe points of practice likely to arise at every Great Session, and particularly in the absence of an intelligent practical chief officer of the Court? I think in the statements 1 have made I shall be fully supported by the testimony of every professional man in this and the adjoining counties; and surely, when I inform you that the business is much more regularly conducted, and the practice much better understood in Flintshire and Cheshire, both on this Circuit, there can be little hesitation in directing how to form a remedy for the evil. In both the counties last- named, the costs are regulated upon a broader and more equitable scale, and the efficient officers active and practical men. Allow me to apologise for intruding so largely on your valuable time; but should the above be deemed worthy of attention, it may probably meet with pub- licity, through the medium of your respectable and widely circulated Journal.

RUSSIA.— The Russian Empire is not so strong as its bulk makes it appear to those who do not lake Ihe trouble of examining. What value is Siberia or Lapland ? What even are the Tartarian wastes, the acquisition of which we are told, brings her so near our East Indian possessions? Her tenure of Finland is not very firm— her hold on Poland almost nothing. If she loses these provinces, her Eu- ropean strength is not much more formidable th lhat of Prussia; and as for her progress in Asia, if it be attended by the usual consequences of Japhet's dwelling in ^. llie tents of Sbem — that is, by the advancement of civilization and the diffusion of religion, we may look quietly on, approving of these good works, without troubling ourselves as to the contingent, and not very probable, danger of losing India to an army invading it from the north. They who talk of such a danger seem to imagine that the presence of a foreign soldier inside Ihe Indus insures the conquest of Hindostan. VVe beg leave lo remind those croakers that there are armfes composed of Englishmen, and led by English- men— armies never yet defeated by native or European on the soil of India— before that catas- trophe can take place. Edward Holland, Esq. who died last week, is said to have left £ 10,000 lo four public hospitals. The will of the late Thomas Shelton, Esq who, for nearly half a century, filled the offices of Clerk of the Arraigns, Clerk of the Indictments, Clerk of the Peace, and Coroner for the City of London, was proved on Friday last, at Doctors' Commons, The personal property was sworn under ±' 35,000. The testator, after bequeathing an annuity of £ 160 to each of his sisters, Maria Ann Shelton and Leiilia Shelton, and au annuity of £ 50 to his nephew, William Clarke, with a reservation, prohibiting the latter from either selling. or transferring his interest under the will, bequeaths a legacy of 50 guineas to his principal clerk, Mr. Moseley; aud Ihe like sum to Townsend, Ihe housekeeper at the Sessions House, Old Bailey. The testator be- queathed all the rest, residue, and remainder of his real and personal estate to his nephew, Mr. John Clarke, who succeeded him as Clerk of. the Peace, & c. The will is dated the 10th of July, 1829, the day of the testalor's dealh, and appoints his sisters and nephew, John Clarke, executrixes and exe- cutor. It was proved by Mr. John Clarke only, with a power reserved for the executrixes to administer. On Tuesday last, an inquiry was held at the Bell inn, in this town, before the Sheriff of Suffolk and a respectable Jury of freeholders, upon a writ of capias vtlagatum. This proceeding, which is of very rare occurrence, was instituted by Messrs. Taylor and Co. solicitors, of Norwich, to inquire into and attach ( he property of the Count, and Countess de Freytag, in consequcuce of their having been outlawed in an action for the recovery of upwards of £- 200, for pro- fessional business. The defendant, the Countess de Freytag, was a daughter of the late Gen. Helhersett, and the owner of some estates in Suffolk. Some years ago a man, named Joseph Sharp, occasioned great inconvenience to the possessors of them, with the view to their recovery on behalf of any one whom he could induce to employ him ; and the tenants of the Countess having been so annoyed, the plaintiffs were employed to punish the intruders. The ex- penses incurred under this retainer amounted to up- wards of £ 200, but the defendants refused to pay the amount, and left the kingdom. The plaintiff's there- fore commenced proceedings under the outlawry, and in consequence the freehold estates of the defendants became liable to seizure, as well as debts owing to them. Some of the defendants' estates were copy- hold, which could not be seized under the process of outlawry, the feudal privileges of lords of manors exempting their tenants from this interference of the Crown ; but the rents due for those estates after the outlawry, as well as the freehold estates, were subject to seizure. Witnesses were called, who proved that upwards of £ 1S0 became due, at Old Michaelmas last, for rents of freehold and copyhold estates be- longing to the defendants; and the Jury returned a verdict seizing the amount of such rents, and also seizing a freehold house, and about 35 acres of land, at Gislingham, into the hands of the Crown, to answer the plaintiff's' debt.— tiury Post. A few days'since Mr. Adams, grocer, of Fowey, purchased al a sale, al that place, an old book for twopence, intending, we believe, to use it for waste paper. On examining it previously to its being torn up for use, he discovered iu the lining of the cover several gold coins of the reigns of James I- and Charles 1.— If est Ilriton. EFFECTS OF EXPANSION — A cannon- ball, when healed, cannot be made to enter an opening, through which, when cold, it passes readily. A glass stop- per sticking last in the neck of a bottle may be released by surrounding the neck with a cloth taken out of warm water, or by immersing Ihe bottle in Ihe water up to the neck : the binding ring is thus heated and expanded sooner than the stopper, and so becomes slack or loose upon it. Pipes for con- veying hot water, steam, hot air, & c. if of consider- able length, must havejoinings that allow a degree of shortening and lengthening, otherwise a change of temperature may destroy them. An incompetent person undertook to warm a large manufactory by steam from one boiler. He laid a rigid main pipe along a passage, aud opened lateral branches through holes into the several apartments, but, on bis first admitting the steam, the expansion of the main pipe tore it away from alt its branches. In an iron railing, a gate which, during a cold day, may be loose and easily shut or opened, in i warm day may slick, owing to there being greater expansion of it and of the neighbouring railing, than of the earth on which they are placed. Thus also the centre of Ihe arch of an iron bridge is higher in warm than in cold weather ; while, on thecontrary, in asuspension or chain bridge Ihe centre is lowered. The iron pillars now so much used to support the front walls of houses, of which Ihe ground stories serve as shops with spacious windows, in warm weather really lift up Ihe wall which rests upon them, and in cold weather allow it again lo sink or subside, in a degree considerably greater than if the wall were brick from lop to be loin. The pitch of a piano- forte is lowered In a warm day or iu a warm room, owing to the expansion of the strings being greater than the wooden frame- work ; and in cold the reverse will happen. A harp or piano, which is well tuned in a morning drawing- room, cannot be perfectly in tune when the crowded evening party has heated the room. Bell- wires too slack iu summer, may be of the proper length iu winter. There exists a most extraordinary exceptional ready mentioned, to the law of expansion by heat and contraction by cold, producing unspeakable bene- fits in nature, namely, in the case of water. Water contracts according to the law only down to Ihe temperature of forty degrees, while, from that lo thirty- two degrees, which is its freezing point, it again dilates. A very curious consequence of this peculiarity is exhibited iu tlie wells of Ihe glaciers of Sw itzerland and elsew here, namely, that w hen once a pool or shallow well on the ice commences, il goes on quickly deepening itself until it penetrates to the earth beneath. Supposing the surface of the water originally to have nearly the temperature of the melting ice, or thirty- two degrees, but to be afterwards heated by the air and sun, instead of Ihe water being thereby dilated or specifically higher, and detained at Ihe surface, it becomes heavier the more nearly it is heated lo forty degrees, and there, fore sinks down lo the bottom of the pit or well; but there, by dissolving some of the ice, and being consequently cooled, it is again rendered lighter, and rises to be heated as before, agaiu to descend ; and Ibis circulation and digging cannot cease until the water has bored ils way quite through.— Dr. Arnott's Elements of Physics. • MANUFACTURE OF CUTLERY.— The number of hands through which a common table- knife passes in ils formation is worthy of being known to all who use them. The bar steel is heated in the forge by the maker, and he and the striker reduce it in a few minutes into the shape of a knife. He then heats a bar of iron and welds it to the steel so as to form the tag of the blade which goes into the handle. All this is done with the simplest tools and contrivances. A few strokes of the hammer, in connection with some trifling moulds and measures attached lo the anvil, perfect in two or three minutes the blade and its lang or shank. Two men, the maker and striker, produce about nine blades in an hour, or 7 J dozen per day. The rough blade thus produced then passes through the hands of the filer, who files the blade into form by means of a pattern in hard steel. It then goes to the hafters to be hafted in ivory, horn, & c. as may be required ; it next proceeds to the finisher, and is then packed for sale or exportation. In this progression every table knife, pocket- knife, or pen- knife passes step by step through no less than 16 hands, involving at least 144 separate stages of workmanship in the production of a single pen- knife. The prices vary from 2s. 6d per dozen knives and forks, to £ 10. In the manufacture of a razor, it proceeds through a dozen hands ; but it is afterwards submitted to a process of grinding, by which the concavity is perfected, and the fine edge produced. They are made from Is. per dozen to 20s. per razor, in which last the handle is valued at 16s. 6d. Scissors, in like manner, are made by hand, and every pair passes through sixteen or seventeen hands, including fifty or sixty operations, before they are ready for sale. Common scissors are cast, and when rivetted, are sold as low as 4s. 6d. per gross! Small pocket knives, too, are cast, both in blades and handles, and sold at 6s. per gross, or a halfpenny each ! These low articles are exported in vast quantities in casks to all parts of the world. Snuffers and trays are also articles nf extensive production, and the latter are ornamented with landscapes, etched by a Sheffield artist, on a resinous varnish, and finished by being dipped in diluted nitric acid for a few seconds or minutes. THE VIOI. IN.— It is remarkable that almost the entire of the fine violins now to be found are the work of the Cremonese makers. Time may have done something for them, for the violin certainly improves by age if it be originally a good one. But there is still something more difficult to be ascer- tained in their workmanship Their violins have often been taken to pieces by the most expert artists, for the purpose of constructing others on their exact model, and yet the experiment has utterly failed. New constructions have been tried, and scientific models on the principles of sound have been invented, but without shaking the superiority of the Cremonese But the most studious and dexterous experiments were made about ten years ago in Paris by a M. Chanot. This intelligent artist presented one of his instruments to the French Royal Academy of the Fine Arts, with a curious memoir, in which he explained his proceedings. His principle was the acknowledged one, that the long fibres of the wood are fitter for the production of the low tones, and Ilie shorter fibres, or arches, for the high tones. By fixing the sounding post at the back of the bridge the fibres of the sounding board are divided into two arches instead of being cut in two on the side of the E string. And this division is necessary, because the high tones being produced on that side the bridge acts on the shorter arches like a small lever, while on the side of the bass string the fibres are enabled to vibrate in the long arches necessary to produce Ihe low tones. But the more remarkable change was in the cutting of the sounding- board. Among other points here M. Chanot disapproves of the shape of the letter f for the sound- holes of the violin, as cutting too many fibres. In his invention those holes are parallel and straight. A committee, on which were Cherubini, the composcr, and Prony, the en- gineer, gave in a favourable report on this violin, w'hich they had heard played on by Bouchier, the famous violinist, in an adjoining room, alternately w- ith a stradirarius, without being able to discover which was which, excepting that they mistook the old violin for the new, which, as being the presumed superior, was a triumph for M. Chanot. But from all this we have not heard of any further results. The violin of Cremona still holds its ancient su- premacy, and deserves it, at least in point of figure ; for the new violins are angular, and unpleasing to the eye. Wre have heard no more of M. Clianot, and are inclined to conclude that his invention was finally found inapplicable. This, however, should not deter our English artists from the experiment. They make the best harps and pianos in the world, and why they should not make every other instrument equally well is beyond our conjecture.— Monthly Magazine. GRAVITY OF BREAKFAST Whether breakfast is the most serious and silent meal, because it is Ihe first, or because it is Ihe soberest, it is difficult to say ; but it generally does pass without much talk, or, at all events, without much talk that is worth recording. Punsters very seldom pun at breakfast, and the narrators of long- winded stories are at that time more sparing of their tales. There is then seldom any argumentative discussion or any play of wil. Breakfast is altogether a matter of business, an affair of life and death, because, if people did not break their fast, they could not live. Dinner is quite another thing; that is more a matter of pleasure than of business; and they who speak of Ihe pleasures of the table, are supposed to allude to dinner, and not to breakfast. A man may dine wilh Duke Humphrey five days in the week ; but it is a much more serious matter to breakfast with Duke Humphrey. ANCIENT TUNNEL.— What will bethought by our engineers of a tunnel under the Euphrates, which is a hundred and fifty yards wide? " Diodorus has described a vaulted passage under the bed of the Euphrates, by which the queen ( Semiramis) could pass from One palace to the other, on different sides of the river, ( which was a stadium in breadth, ac- cording to Strabo, p. 738,) without crossing it Tin's serves at least to show, that the palaces Were very near to the river banks. At a time when a tunnel, of more than half a mile in length, under the Thames, is projected, it may not be amiss to mention the reported dimensions of the tunnel made by Semiramis, under the Euphrates; which, however, was no more than 500 feet in length, or less than one- fifth of the projected funnel under the Thames. That of Semi- ramis is said to have been fifteen feet in breadth and twelve in height, to the springing of the arch; per- haps twenty in all. The ends of the vault were shut up with brazen gates. Diodorus had an idea that the Euphrates was five stadia in breadth.— See lib. ii. c. i. The Euphrates was turned out of its channel, in order to effect this purpose. Herodotus, who is silent concerning the tunnel, says that the river was turned aside, in order to build a bridge. Diodorus describes a bridge also. There is an absurd storv told by both these historians, respecting the disposal of the water of the river during the time of building the bridge, kc. According to them, the water was received into a vast reservoir, instead of the obvious and usual mode of making a new channel, to conduct the river clear of the work constructing in its bed into the old channel, at a point lower down."— Mig- nan's Travels in Chaldea. EASTERN EXPEDITION.— Dr. Gerard has just visited the valley of Sulej, and made some curious observations at that place, which is the highest inhabited spot on the globe. The principal object of his journey was the introduction of vaccination into Thibet; but it appears that the prejudices of the Rajah prevented him from succeeding in that humane enterprize. One of the villages where he stopped was proved to be 14,700 feet above the level of the sea. At ibis place, in the month of October, the thermometer, in the morning, marked 8 deg. 33 centrigrades below Zero ; and during the day the rays of the sun were so hot as to be inconvenient, and yet the waters in the lakes and rivers were frozen during the night, but were free from ice at two o'clock in the afternoon. By means of artificial irrigation, and the action of solar heat, large quantities of rye were raised at this immense height, some of the fields being at fourteen thousand nine hundred feet. Dr. Gerard gives his opinion, that cultivation might be carried as high as from 16,000 to 17,000 feet. The goats bred in this region are the finest in the country, and are of that specirs whose wool is used for the manufacture of shawls. At a height of 15,500 feet, quantities of fossil shells are found on calcareous rocks, upon strata of granite and pulverised schist; they consist of muscle, and others of various forms and dimensions. To the north of the frontier of Konnaour, Dr. Gerard attained a height of more than 30,000 feet, without crossing the perpetual snow. Atone o'clock iu the afternoon the thermometer was at 2 deg. 78 centri- grades below zero. Notwithstanding this extreme elevation, the action of the sun had an unpleasant effect, though in the shade air was freezing. The aspect of the surrounding regions was sublime and terrible ; and on the frontier a ridge of snow was perceptible. In these regions, which for a long time were inaccessible, Mons Gerard met with one of the most intrepid philologists known in Hungaria, named Cosma de Koros. This traveller, after advancing towards the centre of Asia, arrived at Konnaour, in Thibet, where he fixed himself in the monastery of Kanum, and lived amidst the monks of the Lamaic religion. Aided by a learned lama, he made great progress in the study of the literature of Thibet, and discovered an encyclopaedia in 44 volumes, which treated of the arts and sciences. The medical part of this large work forms five volumes. The art of lithography has been practised at the principal city of Thibet, from time immemorial, and it has been used to display the anatomy of the different parts of the human body. It appears that science and letters, flying from the tyranny of the caste of the Brahmins abandoned the plains of Hindostan, and took refuge on the mountains of Thibet, where, until the present time, they remained totally unknown to the rest of the world.— Literary Gazette. HINTS TO MERCHANTS AND TRADESMEN.— Al- though the habits of De Foe [ the celebrated Daniel, author of Robinson Crusoe, & c.] were but little suited to those of trade, it is probable that other circumstances contributed to his insolvency. He seems to have fallen into an error, by no means uncommon to persons in business, that of extending their trade beyond their capital. " I think I may safely advance, without danger of reprehension," says he, " there are more people ruined in England by over- trading than for want of trade; and I would, from my own unhappy experience, advise all men in trade to set a due compass to their ambition. Credit is a gnlph which is easy to get into, hard to get out of. Caution, therefore, is the best advice that can be given to a young tradesman ; and moderation is an useful virtue in trade as well as in politics." In another place he observes, " the richer the tradesman is, the bolder he is apt to be in his adventures, not being to be so easily wounded by a loss. But, as the gamester is tempted to throw again to retrieve the past loss, as one adventure in trade draws on another, till at last comes a capital loss, which weakens the stock, and wounds the reputation : and thus, by one loss coming in the neck of another, the tradesman is first made desperate, in his desperation ventures his all, and so is at once undone. If any man should be so ill- natured as to tell me I speak too feelingly upon this part of the subject, though it may not be the kindest thing he could have said to a poor author, yet it may not be the worse for the argument. An old sailor, that has split upon a sunk rock, and has lost his ship, is not the worst man to make a pilot for that coast; on the contrary, he is in particular able to guide those that come after him, to shun the dangers of that unhappy place."— Wilson's Life and Times of Daniel de Foe.
