ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Foulkes, Baker, of Jtuluell, n$ ar Nottingham, to Messrs. John Lignum and Son, Manchester. Bulwell, near Nottingham, Sept. 27, 182S. GENTLBMP*, HAVE frequently regretted that I have not in times past made that acknowledgement which is justly due for the benefit my family has derived from yowr excellent medicine, ihe Anti- scorbutic Drops. My son William, when about a year old, was afflicted with the Measles, which left a spot on bis leg. This soon ulcerated aud spread, forming a large wound. The surgeon to whom we applied, succeeded in healing the nicer, but almost immediately afterwards an ulcer appeared upon hi face, and the boy was dreadfully afflicted with running • ores upon his neck and body ; the discharge of matter was so great, that we were obliged daily to change his linen. The physicians and surgeons in the neigh, hour hood were applied to, but their skill was in vain; several other remedies we resoried to, proved equally ineffectual, and the sufferer continued a poor and miserable object, almost bent double for near twenty years. At tiiis time 1 heard of the virtues of your inestimable medicine, and after taking six bottles, which I purchased from Mr. Sutton, of Nottingham, an amendment began to lake place, and perseverance in taking four bottles more, effected a perfect cure. It is now six years since this was accomplished, for which I return you my unfeigned thanks, and wish you to make it public, for the benefit of those who may be similarly afflicted. I am, gentlemen, vour obedient servant, JOHN FOULKES. To Messrs. John Lignum and Son, Surgeons, Man- Chester. N. B. I know several other instances of extraordinary cures, performed by your Antiscorbutic Drops, in this village. Those who doubt the truth of the above case, may apply personally, or by letter, post- paid, to M Foulkes, or Mr. Sutton, Bookseller, Nottingham.

May the year just commenced be happier ami merrier than ( hat which has just closed. Such is out- wish and our prayer— we should speak against onr knowledge and our conviction, if we said that it was our expectation. VVe think that the pro- spect before us is excessively gloomy, no matter in what direction we may look. It is certain that never was there any eotlnlry since the creation of* the world in so singular and so melancholy a position as Eng. land is, after fifteen years of peace ! We concluded a triumphant war, and imposed out1 own t rms upon enemies and allies. Our flag was predominant over every billow of the sea; our com- merce was paramount in every harbour of the world. Industry and ingenuity in all branches of art and agriculture, had brought the resources of the country, in its land and its manufactures, to a perfection un- equalled in the history of any nation. Our population had augmented, much in numbers, much more in wealth and comforts. Our hamlets had swelled into towns— our towns into first- rate cities. We hail all the elements of what any person, called upon to define national prosperity, would have pronounced to he prosperity in the highest degree— military fame abroad, ensuring us tranquillity and exemption from foreign insult or outrage— domestic resources beyond calculation — commerce uuequalled— credit beyond all former example. We exaggerate nothing in this picture. Fifteen years of peace have passed— fifteen years, in which no extraordinary demands upon our re- sources have been made— in which our taxation has heen diminished by sums, which of themselves sur- passed the whole revenuns of flourishing kingdoms— in which new markets were opened to our industry, and in which that industry had discovered for itself new methods of profitable enterprise. Would not a reasoner a priori have, from these premises, fairly concluded that, if we were prosperous ( as nobody can deny we werel in 1815, we should be now wallow- ing iu floods of wealth in 1830 ? He would. But it has seemed otherwise to the gods. Had fifteen years of ignominious war elapsed ; had we been subjected to the most rigorous and grinding taxation; had we retrograded in all the appliances and resources of skill and labour; we could not have been in a worse situation than we arc at present. God forbid that we should be ever guilty of the treason of dreaming, even in a hypothesis, that Englishmen could be defeated upon English soil by any foreigners; but if we could permit ourselves to admit that idea into our minds for a moment, we should say that, if such a dire catastrophe had hap- pened, and been followed by a subjugation of the land, it would not have plunged the country into greater commercial and financial calamities than it is in at this moment. This is not a mere fanciful spe- culation. Look at France. Her capital was twice occupied by hostile powers— the lions of George waved where the leopards of the Henrys had waved before— an English Duke gave laws in Paris in the nineteenth century, from the same quarter as that in which an English Duke had given laws in the fifteenth — a heavy tribute was imposed by angry conquerors and how stands she now ? In all matters of financial and fiscal arrangements far superior to us. Her exchequer is overflowing— ours, after all means of squeezing and scraping have heen resorted to, not adequate to supply the ordinary demands of the state, and the debt. There is not a single interest of any magnitude in the country which is not at this instant in a state of suffering. The old alliance of " Peace and Plenty" appears to have been, for the first time in the history of nations, reversed in our case. We, who despised the force of Bonaparte, and rode triumphant through a war with all the world, ate defeated by Grant and Huskisson, obliged to lie prostrate before the more gigantic war of quackery. The words of good Duke Humphrey are as applicable now as in the days of King Richard the Second ( if they are not indeed more applicable) — Enyland Hath made a shameful conquest of herself. The economists, to whom these misfortunes are attributable, are not hardy enough to deny their existence— they have the modesty to attempt to per- suade us, that we have done wrong in not permitting them to ruin us altogether. It is with a sort of indignation we read in the Globe that the only effect of free trade has been to cheapen gloves, and that none of the present distresses would have afflicted us but for taxation and improvident expenditure. It is most heartless to jest with the miseries of ( lie people— most unpatriotic to direct their attention from the true causes of their sufferings. Even poli tical economists themselves must admit, that some- thing beside taxation is requisite to grind the country down to its present condition, when they reflect ( if indeed such shallow and hard- hearted sophists ever reflect) that for twenty prosperous years our taxation was thirty per cent, more than it is at present— they must allow that something more than lavish expendi- ture must be brought into question, when, for the same twenty years, we were spending sometimes at the rate of a couple of millions per week. And the plain practical proof is this— that in spite of unfavour- able seasons in 1S16 and 1817, the nation, lately so taxed and so expending, had in 1825 attained a degree of riches ( we allude to the prosperity year), which nothing hut a judicial madness could have dissipated— which no individual follies conld have wasted, unless stimulated and goaded by an ignorant and liberal Administration. Had the voice of Lord Eldon, in the opening of the Session of 1825, been attended to— had his denunciation of the Joint Stock Companies, the new- created- world speculations, the free- trade villainies, and the other projects of crack- brained or knavish economists, ( how dreadfully mis- applied a word !) had the effect which they ought to have had, we should not have thrown away upon foreign shores, to the enrichment of foreign traders and foreign swindlers, sums which would have paid off more than a third of our National Debt; and which, if husbanded, would have saved us from feel- ing the acute pinching of poverty under which we are now suffering. The only hope we have is, that our steps may be retraced. We have in this, our dire distress, the con- solation of the Athenian orator. Had we been brought into this pass after wise councils, and under the conduct of sage politicians, there would he no hope for us— but as our present situation is the result of misgovrrnment of the grossest kind, administered by the most notorious incapable quacks to whom the destinies of a nation were evet committed, » e may still consider it as not entirely desperate; but it will require all the attention of our public men. They must minutely and regularly look into til ngs, perhaps distasteful to themselves ( we confess thev are so to us) aud little inviting in their aspect, hut still absolutely necessary to be known currency finance, trade, & c. Let the well- wishers to their native land look to themselves— and in particular we call upon the Country Gentlemen. We assure them that there will be something to engage their attention of more pressing and vital importance than any fiddle- faddle about game laws or turnpike acts.— Age, Jan. 4.

HOLYHEAD ROAD.— We beg to call the attention of our readers to the report, of the proceedings at the County Meeting, on Friday last, which appears in our 41b page \ and in doing so, we would direct their particular observation to the remarks of the Viscount dive.— We are sure that, in referring to his Lordship us to a distinguished individual evidently possessed of the most correct information on this important, subject, we shall not be supposed to do so but with ( he utmost respect; and we would enforce upon our townsmen the absolute necessity of being prompt and zealous in Ibeir efforts to retain the great thorough- fare in iis preterit line, by urging strenuously their jiisf claims upon the attention of ( he Parliamentary Commissioners, and by acceding as far as possible to the wishes of those Commissioners, in effecting every practicable improvement, so as to obtain a pledge for the continuance of the Holyhead Road in its pre- sent direction from Wellington, through Shrewsbury and Oswestry, to Chirk. At. ( he Iron- masters' quarterly meeting in Birming ham on Thursday last, the price of pig iron underwent a further reduction of live shillings per ton. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A ROBBERY.— Last week a discovery of a very serious description of robbery was made by one of the Magistrates of Hereford, who observing a piece of written paper lying on his table, curiosity induced him to look at it, when to his surprise he found it to be the address of f the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council ( assembled, of the ancient and loyal City of Hereford to his late Majesty King George 111. upon the marriage of hi* son, the Prince of Wales," with the signatures of the body Corporate then and there present, which had been torn from fheir minute- book. Upon inquiry he found it bad been sent with some ginger- bread for the children from a confectioner's shop, and which immediately led to fhe discovery that the lumber room at the top of the Town Clerk's office bad been robbed of a great number of books, acts of parliament, loose papers, Sfc. & c. by a woman named Hester Garstone, who lighted the fires and cleaned ijie rooms, and which she had sold to the different shopkeepers in the city as waste paper! Two sacks and a half have fortunately been recovered, but the extent, of ( he loss cannot be ascertained. The parish of St. Martin, Birmingham, compre- hending wi hin its limits a large majority of the . population of the town, has been divided into districts by the cleigy, for the purpose of instituting visiting societies on the plan adopted in some other parts of the kingdom, HOLYHEAD KOAl>. Tio the Editor of the Salopian Journal Sip.,—! again trouble you, for the last time, ( unless further occasion should offer,) for the purpose of concluding my observations, on the subject of my former letters. You will observe, that the object, of my last letter was to dispose of fhe second reason assigned by Vnut" Correspondent A. if for the pvoposed change of the line of the Holyhead Road; namely, " The advan- tages to proprietors on the new iiue," by shewing— 1st, the grtiss iniquity of attempting to effect the expenditure of £ 100,000 of the public money, upon the ground of private interest; and secondly, that, even supposing this were a legitimate ground fur the io/ i, so far from its furthering the interests of the individuals who are fostering the measure, it would be much more calculated to further their ruin. I come now, therefore, to the last reason assigned by A B in support of this notable scheme; namely, the advantage* to labourers in making the road; and 1 shall take the liberty of dealing with this reason as I did with (, be ( fibers: that is to say, by shewing— isl, ( hat it is no < en Son at all; and 2d, that even if it were, it would produce an effect precisely the reverse of the one intended. As to the first point, it is certainly a novel kind of tin argument, even in support of road- jobbing.. It puts one in m ind of the wiseacre who undertook to prove that, the country would be benefited by can- ploying the poor to dig pits and fill them up again. Indeed if, afier the road were made, the " labourers" were employed to stop it tip again, and restore it to iis former state of arable and pasture land, there would be a considerable aiialogy between the two cases; but otherwise, the road- makers would be worse than the pit- diggers— doubly and trebly worse; for they would not. only destroy so much valuable land, hut they would load the inhabitants of the neighbourhood with a perpetual tax in the shape of toll- bars, road duties, & c. & c.; whereas, the worst that could be said of the pit- diggers, would be, that If, therefore, the £ II) 0, fl<: 0 is to be expended for the sake of the " labourers," ,1 am decidedly in favour of pit- digging. In short, this reason for I he ji lt affords an instance of the miserable shifts which jcb- hunters are willing to put themselves to, iti order to impose on the unwary. But let us even admit that the employment of labourers is a just ground for expending £ 100,000 in useless, or rather, as 1 have shown, in worse than useless labour; 1 then have to shew, in the second place, that the i ff; ct co,. tended for, even upon this flimsy pretence, would be entirely frustrated. By the bye, I perceive that fise u farmers" as well as the labourer sare to Ire benefited; " for all," says A. B. " farmers as well as labourers, would necessarily be engaged in the work, and be benefited in a pecuniary point of view by its t- perartoii." Now if we consider this matter a little, we shall again see how much more easy it is to make assertions than to prove them. Did A. B. never hear of such gentlemen as V. O': d Contractors ? Does he know so little of the system of road- making as to suppose, that the horses and carriages of the farmers in the neighbourhood are employed therein? Did lie ever pass along a newly- making road, of such extent as this,- without » eir> g dozens of little one- horse carts with the name of the CONTRACTOR on them? How then are the" farmers to be " engaged in the work? This is what A. B has unfortunately omitted ( o inform us. Tln- re is one way, indeed, and only one, that 1 can see, in which they would be likely to he 14 engaged ;" and tiiat is, in employing lawyers to defend their rights from impositions, and watchmen to defend their property from plunder ( the necessity for which 1 shall notice more fully presently).— So much, then, for fhe " i ecuniar- " benefit to the farmers, Now for ( he labourers." A. B. takes it for granted, fhat the labourers to be employed will be those residing ' n fhe neighbourhood of the new line of road; but he may depend upon it, that the moment Messieurs fhe Uoad Contractors make it known fhat. they have £ 100,000 to lay out in making a new road within 40 or 50 miles of the Irish Channel, they will have hundreds, or thou- sands, if fhey wish it, ready to offer their services at rate that would soon put an end to all hope of employment, by the labourers in the neighbourhood; Rnd the gentlemen contractors would be no less vigilant fo procure cheap ir. en, than they would lie to procure cheap carts and horses. And here again, let me appeal to the experience ( which is always the best test) of any man who has been in the habit of witnessing the progress of great public works— be it roads, canals, or docks, or tunnels, or anything else— whether a vast majority of the hands employed therein arc not half- clad, half- starved Irish, who are willing to work for half the means of subsistence, in the expectation, probably, that, by preventing them from being passed as vagrants, it. will afford them an opportunity of plundering for fhe other half? Is it not perfectly notorious, that the moment any thing of the kind is commenced, every inhabitant in the neighbourhood, who has any thing to lose, immediately looks to his locks and bolts, and keeps a sharp look out after his property ? And ate not the aclsof depredation, which ure continually occurring in such quarters, sufficient fully to justify his precaution? Again, 1 say appeal to those whose misfortune it has been to reside to i! r such works, for answers to these questions.— An instance of the kind just occurs to me, which 1 think 1 read in a Sheffield paper, but I forget which, or the date; except that it was about five or six weeks ago ; and if I mistake not, a public meeting was held, fo adopt means to protect the inhabitants front depre- dations committed, ami the parish from paupers occasioned, by certain navigators in that neighbour hood. Thus much I recollect distinctly, that one batch of nine were apprehended, all of them navi- gators, and that the mutilated remains of stolen sheep were found in the hovels of, 1 believe, every one of them. I doubt not you recollect the instance 1 al- lude to, and could quote that, and many others to the same purpose; hut which you may probably think quite unnecessary to do, for the purpose of proving that which is of every- day notoriety. So far, therefore, from its benefitting the honest, peace- able, resident labourers, if the measure should be carried, I advise and forewarn both them and the farmers to look well to the consequences. Thus, Sir, have 1 endeavoured to answer the only reasons which have been hitherto put forth, in sup- port of this most extraordinary attempt; the most singular feature of which is, that, if carried into effect, if must redound to the loss and injury of all parties whose prop' 11y will l, e in any manner affected thereby ; and certainly nit the least so to those who, through grossly mistaken notions of the result, are now most desirous for its adoption. What, then, it will be said, is nobody to benefit by the expenditure of £ 100,000! Oh no, I do not say so fiy any means. Some persons would benefit by it; and 1 will tell you Who tiny are:— they are the Contractors,—( lie Trustee':,—( he Surveyors,—( he l- lan and Spec fication- makers,— the Bridge build- ers,— the Valuers,— the Arbitrators,— and, though last, not least, and a9 a matter of course,— the LAW- YI: RS!! Only think of the Acts of Parliament— the Juries— the Summonses— the Actions— the Suits— the Conveyances— the Marriage- settlements to be inter- fered with— the applications to Chancery— fhe pay- ment of money into Court— the getting of it OUT AGAIN !— the appeals from justices— the trials at Sessions — and a long list of & c. & c. & c !! Why 1 verily believe, and those w'ho have had any expe- rience in matters of this nature, will riot have much difficulty in believing so too, that if the mere cost to the public, of making the road, amounted to ±' 1< 0,000, the costs to individuals before all their rights anil disputes are fully settled and determined will not be much less than £ 100,000 more. And now, Sir, for the present, I leave those who are much more interested in this question than I am ( which, as I before said, is, not at alt J, to reflect a little on the several matters to which, with your assistance, I have taken the liberty of calling their attention. In the mean time, should 1 find occasion for any further observation, you may probably hear from me again. I cannot, however, c'tticlude these remarks without noticing fhe spirited manner in which your fellow townsmen have stood forth, and the praiseworthy measures which they have adopted, for the purpose of opposing this most extraordinary attempt upon fheir own, and, 1 will venture to add, their i ounty's rights and advantages.— Their example will, before you receive this letter, 1 doubt not, be followed by tiie meeting, which is to be this day held, of the County at large.— Whilst matters proceed in that train, I need do no more than repeat the good old adage, the first part of which is in their own power;— tiie latter must follow; —( t Go on— and prosper." 1 remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, January 8, 1830, T. N. SHROPSHIRE QUARTER SBSS303SS. Tiie General Quarter Sessions for the County of Salop commenced oa Monday last, before Thomas Pemberton, Esq. ( Chairman), the Viscount Clive, the Hon. Robert Henry Clive, the Hon. Thomas Kenyon, Sir Edward Kyuaston, Bart. Sir R. C. Hill, K. C. B. William Charlton, Esq. T. Netherton Parker, Esq. Charles Walker, Esq. P. Bro ghton Strey, Esq* Kev. Oswald Leycester, lie v. William Hopkins, , Rev. Richard Corfield, H. D. Warter, Esq. Rev. C. Leicester, Rev. G. A. Maddock, John Brown, Esq. & c. & c. In the Appeal of the Parish of Roddington against the Pajisli of High Ercali, the order for the removal of the pauper was quashed for want of form, the respondent parish being described in the order as the parish of Ere. ill iasfead of High Ercali, and Mr. Whateley and Mr. Williams having successfully con- fended that Ercall was not a sufficient description in this county, where there was a parish named High Ercall and another named Child's Ercall. In the appeal of Kingston- upon- Hull against Hales Owen, the owler was confirmed on motion. In the appeal of Prees against Wem, the order was confirmed.— la this case the pauper had been hired for a year, and commenced his service . the day before New- Year's day : he left, however, on the day after Christmas- day, and was paid for the wliole year.— The question raised was, whether there had been a dispeusaiioa of service at the end of the year, or a dissolution of the contract. The respondents contended that there had iieen a dissolution; and in announcing the decision of the Bench, the Chairman said, the Magistrates had come to a general deter- mination to Consider these leavings at the end of a year, and before the service was completed, as dissolutions of the contract, and that the Court, on this ground, continued the present order, considering the case before it as one of dissolution of contract, In the appeal of the parish of St. Leonard against the parish of St. Mary Magdalene, Bridgnorth, the order was reversed. An appeal was afterwards brought, before the Court, in the case of Edward Banks, a servant, con- victed in the penalty of 130, under the Assessed Taxes Acts, for having taken in a trap, and after- wards killed, a hare, at Quat£ ord, oa the.' 6th of December, he tiie said Eiiivard Banks not being certificated pi rs m.- After hearing the arguments of Counsel on both sides at considerable length, the Court decided that the proceedings in tiie case were bad in point of form, and ( be conviction was conse quently quashed. The trials of the prisoners commenced yesterday morning before the Hon. Thomas Kenyon ( Thomas Pemberton, Esq. being unable to take the Chair from indisposition). I'eter Drown, aged 45, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a woollen cloak at l> rayton- in Hales, and was sentenced to be imprisoned one month to hard labour. James Griffiths, aged 18, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having stolen, a golii pencil ease, and a variety of valuable trinkets^ && from Tunstall Hall, the property of Peter Brbughtdn Strey, Esq. ; and having been twice before eonvitted of ielony, he was now sentenced fo be transported- for seven years. h'rhcin Williams and A dam Yates were charged with stealing six geese, the property of Agard Bam- ford, of ( he Hook Farm, in Tash- y.— It was proved that on ( he night of the 22d of December, the geese were safe on the premises of the prosecutor, and that they were missed early next, morning. Two persons named Gregory and Preen, going ( o their work, saw the prisoners with a bag, about, two miles f& om ( he Hook Farm, and suspecting them, they wufched them, and eventually took them li. to custody, together with the bag which contained the geese. They look the prisoners to Bridgnorth, w here the geese were after- wards identified by Mr. Bamtbrd's servant, who proved also that some footmarks made in the snow near his master's premises oa the morning of the 23u of December, corresponded exactly will; the impression that would be made by the nailed and patched siloes of the prisoners.-— The prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned two months to hard labour. Sarah Ralphs, aged 20, who had been a pauper in the poor- house at Hednet, was convicted of stealing a bonnet and a gown, belonging to another inmate of the same poor- house, aud was sentenced to be im- prisoned one month. Abraham Daviei, aged 22, was charged with having stolen a hrown paper parcel, containing fvvo sovereigns, the property of Thomas Taylor, of New- port.— It appeared that a young woman named Elizabeth Earp hail made up the parcel in. question, which was directed to a relative in l- oiekm: the parce l was sent by a fellow servant to the hraup of Mr. Taylor, the prosecutor, who keeps the White Horse Inn, in Newport, and there it was booked, an.! the amount of the carriage by the coach to London paid ; this was on the evening of the 25th Decemlier. About 11 o'clock fhat night, the parcel was taken from the bar by Mrs. Taylor, and placed oil the seat of the screen ready to be dispatched by the coach which was then expected to call on its route : the prisoner at. this time came for seme drink to be drunk out of the house, a female came with him, but no other persons were in the house, and as soon as he had been served with the drink and had left the house, Mrs. Taylor missed the parcel in ijuesiipn. She sent for the constable immediately and the prisoner was apprehended, and next morning ; the parcel was found concealed in the house in which he, lodged ; and he subsequently confessed that he had taken it. He received a good character as, to hi: behaviour prior to this occurrence; and having been of course found guilty on the charge before the Court, he was sentenced to be imprisoned two months to hard labour. Daniel Binnall was indicted for having istofen a quantity of potatoes from a bury in a fielp at Tusley, on the 9th of November,— Oa the case being gone into, Mr. Whateley, for the prisoner, said, that immediately after the commission. of the alleged offence, Ihe prisoner was taken betWe a magistrate, and convicted under the Trespass Act, for this offence, and fined thirty shillings : be had then been set at liberty, and subsequently appre- hended on the present charge of felony for the same act : he ( Mr. Whateley) therefore contested that the present prosecution could not be persevered in : the prisoner had been once convict d, and judi- cially dealt with, and no man could be tried twice for the same offence. Mr. Corbet!, for Ihe prosecu- tion, explained that the Trespass Act only took cognizance of lege tables, kc. growing ; but in this ease the roots had been severed from the ground, and had been stolen from a bury: the Magistrate therefore conceived that he had erred in dealing with this case under the Trespass Act, and in con- sequence the fine was not levied, but the prisoner was sent to tuke ills trial for the felony.— Mr. Whatelcy insisted that, if there was an error on the part of the Magistrate, the Court of Quarter Ses- sions was not a court of review, and that the present indictment could not be proceeded in.— In this opinion the Court acquiesced, and directed the acquittal of the prisoner. Jane Woodfint, aged 20, was convicted of stealing, on the 20th of October, 501bs. weight of potatoes, the property of Mr. James Simon, of Stoke, farmer, by whom she had been employed to raise potatoes in one of his fields.— She was sentenced to be imprisoned one month. John Gaytor, aged 20, John Itycroft, aged 23, and Andrew Greer., aged 24 ( navigators), were indicted on a charge of stealing tw. o geese and gander, the property of John Anderson, at Hinstock, in the night of the 31st of October last.— Mrs. Ander son proved that the geese were alive near her house on the night before mentioned, but they were missing next morning : the foot of a goose was now produced In Court by Charles Swinnerton, the constable of Cheswardine, which Mrs. Anderson proved ( by cer- tain marks that she had made in it when the bird was living) to he the foot of the gander lost by her in the night of the 31st October.— Charles Swinnerton thert stated, that, in consequence of the numerous depre- dations committed in his vicinity by the navigators, & c. he was induced, on the night of the 31st of October, to stay up on the watch. About 11 o'clock that night, he saw the prisoners leave the house of oneDavenhill, where Rycroft and Green lodged, they went towards the village of Cheswardine, from w hich there is a road leading to Hinstock. He continued on the watch till nearly four o'clock in the morning, when the three prisoners came back, Gaytor and Rycroft having each a load of sticks, and Green carrying a bag which seemed to contain something heavy ; witness concealed himself under a holly- bush close fo which the prisoners passed, and he distinctly saw that it was tlicoi; they went into Davenhill's house, an, d he continued some time after on the watch. About 8 o'clock ill the morning he went to Davenhill's house, and searched it; he saw Daven- hill's wife carrying . away three ducks, and oil ex- amination he found two geese made into pies then in fhe oven ; he also found under a table a quantity of giblets, and that foot of a goose which Mrs. Ander- son had identified as the foot of her gander. He took the prisoners info custody.— The statements made by the prisoners before the committing Magistrates were read ; and Green, in his slatement, admitted that he had caught the geese in question— The Jury found Green guilty ; and acquitted the other two prisoners. — Green was sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for three months, and to be once publicly whipped. The Chairman paid a deserved compliment to Swinnerton for his exemplary conduct, and, as the country was evidently much indebted to him for his activity, directed that he should be allowed £ 10 on this occasion, by way of expenses, being the only way in which the Court had the power of rewarding him for his meritorious exertions. John Cartwright, aged 17, pleaded guilty to an indictment* charging him with having stolen a hen fowl and thirteen chickens, at Hales Owen, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 1 month to hard labour. Elijah Green, aged 17, a collier, was indicted for stealing thirty. six geese and a bag, the property of Mrs. Anne Perry, of Claverley. It appeared that on Friday night, the 6th of November, 40 geese were safely locked up in the goose- pen of Mrs. Perry : it was discovered next morning that the tiles had been removed from the. roof of the pen uif cieut to admit a man to get in, and that 36 of the geese were gone: the barn had'also been broken open, and a quantity of peas which had been jut in a bag were emptied on the barn floor, aad the bag taken away. About a dozen of the geese were afterwards found dead with their necks twisted, in a lucerne field near the house, and the traeks of a horse going in a direction from the pre- mises of Sirs. Prrry. John Jevons, waggoner to the Earl of Dudley, stated, that on the 7th of November, he saw an aperture about a yard square in an engine- house wall on his lordship's property in Staffordshire filled up with loose bricks : this excited his suspicions, and he went into the engine- house, where he found two bags, which he examined, and in which there were dead geese : he left the bags as he found them, and gave information of what he had seen. George Jackson saw the prisoner come out of the engine house twice, with something bulky under his smock- frock, and go to an adjacent hedge, near two trees ; this was on the 7th of November. Ann Smith was near the hedge on these occasions, and saw distinctly that the prisoner was carrying dead geese under his smock frock; she spoke to him, and he told her to go away ; he said he should fetch the geese away ; he took some with him, and left some under the hedge; she told her mother what she- had seen. Benjamin Greenfield, the constable, found two bags in the eugine- bouse, in one of which there were still three geese left: this was subsequent to Jevons and Jackson being there. The bag in which Gretnfield found the three geese was now produced, and James Sherry, ser- vant to Mrs. Perry, proved that it was the bag which he had filled with peas aud left in the barn on the 5th of November, and which had been emptied and taken away in the night of the 6th. Miss Catherine Perry said the geese found iii the engine- house resembled some of those stolen from her mother's house or. ( he night in question, but as they were not marked, she could not positively swear to them. Ihe Jury considered fhat the identity of the bag had been clearly proved, and found the prisoner Guilty.— He was sentenced to be imprisoned 18 months to hard labour, and twice publicly whipped. Thomas Poole, employed hy Mr. John Griffiths, the lessee of the Preston Brockhurst Roads, to collect the tolls at Crudgington Gate, was convicted of having embezzled the sum of £ 2.10s. received by him on his master's account, and was sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for six months. Henry Churn, aged 14, was indicted for breaking into the cottage of Emmanuel Lowe, at Horton's Wood, in the parish of F. vton, in the day- time, no person being therein, and stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, be.— The young villain having broken into the cottage, and collected his plunder, was caught by the wife of the prosecutor, before he had made his exit, and was given into custody.— He was convicted of a similar offence at the last Mid- summer Sessions, and was imprisoned for it: he was, therefore, now sentenced to be transported for 7 years. John Mate alias John Myatt, was indicted for stealing the hair from the tails of 18 cows, belong- ing to Mr. Thomas Lloyd, of ths parish of Kiuner- ley.— It was proved that the cows in question had been deprived of the hair from their tails on ( he night of Friday last, the 8th instant, aud that the prisoner had sold a quantity of cow- hair next morn- ing to Mr. Roberts, in Oswestry; buf there was nothiiig to bring the felony home; and he was ac- quitted. He was then indicted for stealing the hair from the tails of 14 cows, the property of Mrs. Hannah Hop- kins, of Wolston, in the parish of Westfelton, in the night of Thursday last, the 7th instant.— It was proved that the cows' tails were clipped, and that a quantity of cow- hair was sold on the morning of the 8th to Mr. Roberts, of Oswestry, by the prisoner; but, as in the former case, there was nothing to bring home the felony to fhe prisoner, until, previous to the case going to the Jury, the prisoner was asked, in the customary form, whether he wished to say any thing for himself, and, probably encouraged by his previous escape, he, fortunately for the ends of justice, chose to enter upon a history of his travels in the night of the 7th, and of his adventures in the course of that night and early the next morning : in doing this, he, as many rogues have done before, « let the cat out of the bag," for he gave such an account, of his buying the hair from a stranger, on the road within about a mile of Mrs. Hopkins's, as left no doubt of his guilt, and he was accordingly convicted by the Jury, and sentenced to be imprisoned 3 months, to hard labour, and once publicly whipped. Thomas Cheshire, was charged upon two indict- ments for stealing severally peas and barley ( o give to the horses of his master, Mr. Thomas Juckes, of the parish of High Ereall.— Re had been some time ill custody; aud Mr. J okes, intending the prose- cution rather as an example than » itii a wish to do the prisoner a permanent injury, declined offering any evidence; in consequence of which he was of course acquitted, aud the Chairman ( Mr. Kenyon), after giving the prisoner a suitable admonition, as a caution to himself and others, directed him to be immediately disebarg- d. Richard Hewitt was charged with stealing a sovereign from the person of John Price, at Wem.— This case, which in its details was not of a nature to add any ornament to our columns, and was entirely the history of a drunken scrawl between the parties, ended in the acquittal of the prisoner. The Court then adjourned. SHROPSHIRE HUNT BALL.

The thieves gained access to a cellar beneath the shop by forcing out several iron bars which sccurec! a small window, from thence they reached the shop by means of a trap- door, and after securing two pounds of silver, they packed up several pounds of tobacco, a quantity of the best gunpowder tea, and a number of other articles, in fhe aprons belonging to the shopmen, and securely effected their escape with their booty. No tidings have since been heard of them, although a large reward is offered for their apprehension.— See Advt.

On Thursday evening last, about half- past seven o'clock, a fire was discovered in the outbuildings of a dwelling at Maesbury, near Oswestry, belonging to Mrs. I'rice, widow, and, melancholy to relate, the whole of the house and outbuildings, furniture, and stock, including nine cows, cheese and butter, were consumed. The alarm being given, Mr. Goolden ( who lives near) proceeded to the premises, and instantly despatched his man on horseback to Os. westry fur the engines ; but we are sorry to say, before they could arrive, the fire liad gained such a head as to make them of little use, but to prevent the flames catching a small cottage adjoining, which they succeeded in, with the assistance of a man of the name of Pierce, who, at very great hazard, went upon the roof and sawed off the connecting timber. By the above calamity the poor widow, who is between 70 and 80 years of age, is reduced from a situation of comfort to a state bordering on poverty. There is every praise due to Mr. Goolden, Mr. Niccolls, of Crumpwell, Mr. James Williams, of Oswestry, and other gentlemen, for their very able and kind assistance. The fire was occasioned by the in- cautious practice of a servant taking a lighted candle without a lantern into the building. In this instance, we believe, the servant left the building without having been aware that any ignition had taken place, ANTED, in tiie Country, a Youth, lis an APPRENTICE to the GROCERY, MERCERY, IRONMONGERY, & c.

TUNNEL UNDER THE MERSEY.— On Monday week a meeting was held at Birkenhead, which was attended by a number of the leading gentlemen of the place, when the projected tunnel under the bed of the Mersey, which is intended to form a commu nication betwixt this town and the Cheshire shore, came under consideration. The meeting were aided in their deliberations upon this interesting and impor- tant subject by the opinions of three eminent civil engineers, which were embodied in reports from Mr. Vignoles, Mr. Stephenson, and Mr. Giles. These gentlemen all concurred as to ihe practicability of the measure. A deputation was then appointed to wait upon his Worship Ihe Mayor, with a view to ob- tain the co- operation of the Corporation in a project so intimately connected with the interests of both sides uf the river.— Liverpool Courier. BAPTISM BY IMMERSION IN A CHURCH— An extraordinary occurrence took place in St Martin s Church, London, on Tuesday. An amiable young lady named Prossor, who was brought up a dissenter from the Church of England, having attended for a considerable time at St. Martin's Church, under the ministry of tbe Rev Dr. Richards,' was anxious to become a communicant at that Church ; . out not having been christened, it was necessary that she should previously undergo that ceremony. She, however, objected to the form of christening, as contrary to the language of the Gospel as well as to the formula in the prayer book, the former of which says, speaking of adults who were baptised by the Apostle, " and they straightway went down into the water, and were baptised," & c.; aud the latter, speaking of infants, says, " and th- y shall warily dip them," &<\ She, therefore, applied to Dr, Richards, to allow the ceremony to be per- formed according to what she conceived was the literal Scriptural meaning of the words of the Apostle— by submeiMOii. The Doctor attempted to convince the lady that sprinkling was equally effi- cacious; but the Doctor's argument o ily went to convince her that if baptism was good for any thing at all, it was essential that the form adopted by the Saviour and the Apostles should be strictly adhered to. In this dilemma it was suggested that an appli- cation should be made to the Bishop of London, to grant a dispensation to have the ceremony per- formed in tiie manner the l. jdy desired it— by dip- ping. The application was made, and it was granted. Last Tuesday was appointed for the ceremony to take place, and about mid- day a large oblong wooden tub was placed close to the baptismal font, in St. Martin's Church, and the lady made her ap- pearance suitably attired with woollen under- clothing. It was a bitter cold day, but the lady was nothing daunted, and the Doctor " warily dipped her" over head and ears, after reading an appropriate service. The lady afterwards retired to the vestry with her female friends, and having exchanged her wet apparel for dry clothes, re- turned home to her family isi Charing Cross, where the health of the new Christian was drunk with due honours.—- The only instance of baptism by immersion having taken place in one of our Churches before occurred at Leicester, aud with the consent of the Bishop of the diocese. The Fine Arts have, with awful rapidity, sustained a great and heavy loss, in the President of. the Royal Academy: Sir Thomas Lawrence died about nine o'clock on Thursday evening, at his house in Russell Square. This sad event took place without any of those distant intimations which so often tell man to prepare for death. Sir Thomas Lawrence was in such perfect health * hat he dined on Saturday, u ifh a distinguished party, at Mr. Peel's, where he became suddenly, but not alarmingly* indisposed. Inflam- matory symptoms appearing, however, he was bled 5 and this operation produced so good an effect, that ort Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, he was able to j^ o out as. usual. On the Wednesday he. was at. the Athenaeum Club- house, and at Messrs. Counts, the bankers : and the subject, of conversation, now remembered, was that of an exquisitely written letter of condolence, sent by him to one of the partners, on the decease of his daughter. On reaching . home in tbe afternoon, his complaint ( an inflammation of the bowels) returned with such violence, that he survived little more than twenty- four hours, his last words being addressed to his valet, who was attending him—' ###*, I am dying !!' This is not yet a time to enter upon any details, either of his private biography, or of his merits as a piinter; in both respects he was a man much to be admired and lamented. He was, we believe, some- what above sixty years of age, and had never married. His appearance was extremely graceful and gentlemanlike; his manner^ was full of suavity 5 and his Countenance so pleasing and handsome, that it might almost, if the word were not misapplied to the masculine sex, be called beautiful. There was a striking resemblance to Mr. Canning, though not of so elevated an expression or character. On public occasions he was an elegant speaker; and, indeed, whether as an accomplished member of society, or an eminent, artist, we can rarely hope to see so many requisite qualities united in one individual, to place him at the head of Ihe Fine Arts of England. Who will succeed him in the President's chair, it is im- possible to anticipate : - Beechey, Ettv, Hiltorf, Howard, Phillips, Pitkersgill, Shee, Wilkie, and others, are already spoken of by their respective friends, Wc have certainly a proud list to choose from, independently of sculptors and landscape painters, who, we know not why, are not so muc| i a « mentioned as likely candidates. Sir Thomas Lawrence was engaged on many interesting works at the period of his demise ; among others, a fine portrait of Sir George Murray, iVi. P. for the county of Perth. His last performance was the likeness of Miss F. Kembie, noticed in the Literary Gazette of Saturday :— it may be stated, as a curious matter, that he executed this slight, but sweet., drawing with much assumption of secrecy ; and that though we have said he had 110 warnings giver, it was observed of him, at a very recent representation of Juliet, by this delightful young actress, that, he looked extremely ill in the theatre. Of himself, wc know of no engraved portrait, except the small one in the Percy Anecdotes ; nor of any picture, except one from his own pallette, which he was occasionally persuaded to shew, with great diffidence, to his friends, from its concealment beneath his side- board. Sir Thomas's collection, of the destination of which we are ignorant, is of the most magnificent and interesting description : his drawings, etchings, prints, and pictures of the ancient masters, as well as his choice specimens of modern schools, are rarer numerous, and t> f the highest value.

LLANFYLUN, JAN. 5, 1830. DERBY, JAN. 6 — At a meeting held at the County hall, on Saturday, the 31st ult. present E. S. Chandos- Pole, Esq. ( Chairman) Sir Roger Gresley, Bart. Sir H. Fitzherbert, Bart, and John Cave, Henry Wilmot, Francis Mundy, M. P E. M. Mundy, Francis Hunt, Robert Holden, Godfrey Meynell, ami John Wright, Esqrs. it was resolved " that a Memorial be presented to the First Lord of the Treasury, respecting the extreme depression of the agricultural interest;" and that the memorial he sent to the ensuing Quarter Sessions for the signature of the Magistrates, and afterwards forwarded to the different hundreds of the county for the signature of freeholders and farmers. Lincoln County Meeting, for tba purpose of ad- dressing parliament ou the subject of the duties imposed on Malt and Beer, took place in the castle- yard of that city on Friday. The High Sheriff, Richard Thoi old, Esq., it will be remembered, de- clined calling the meeting, on tbe ground that any such petition was calculated to embarrass tiis Ma- jesty's government iu the course it proposed to pursue in the next session of parliament. This re- fusal being signified to the requisitionists the meet- ing was convened by some of the more active of them, being magistrates, and Ihe chair was filled by Mr. Handley. In consequence of the severity of the weather, the meeting was not so numerously attended as was anticipated ; when the proceedings commenced about eight hundred persons were present, and the number subsequently increased to nearly two thousand, a considerable majority being agriculturists. The first resolution, which was a censure upon the High Sheriff, was moved by Sir R. Heron, and seconded by Colonel Sibthorpe. It was stated that the SheritF, " by refusing to convene a county meeting OIL a requisition most unanimously signed by the gentry, clergy, aud yeomanry, had shewn au unwarrantable contempt for the wishes of the county, and has set a most dangerous example, tending to deprive the people of England of their legitimate rights and constitu- tional privileges, iu a manner inconsistent with the due and impartial exercise of his official duty." The Petition was then read and proposed by Co- lonel Johnson, and seconded by Major Handley. Mr. Chaplin aud Sir W. lugl by, the members for the county, expressed themselves favourable to the petition, as did Mr. A Calcraft, Col. Sibthorpe, Mr. Cholmeley, and other county gentlemen. Sir E. F. Bromhead attempted to introduce a clause into the petition deprecating any measures, by way of relief, which " endanger the public credit, or lead to the imposition of an income- tax," but the meeting would not entertain it, and it was withdrawn. Tbe petition, which was to the following effect, was then agreed to amidst great applause, and the as- sembly was dissolved: — " The humble petition of the people of the county of Lincoln, Sheweth— That your petitioners are plunged into distress absolutely intolerable: that in a county so highly favoured by nature, all the proofs of decline, decay, poverty, and misery, are seen in their strongest colours; that farmers, tradesmen, aud shopkeepers are become one mass of insolvents; that thousands of virtuous aud indus- trious, and frugal families are either ruined or are ou the verge of ruin ; and the consequent want of employment amongst the labouring classes has led to a state, of want and misery such as no people ou earth, much less English people, ever before had to endure. That your petitioners ascribe this dis- graceful and fearful state of things to the changes iu the value of money, arbitrarily made by vour Honourable House, and unaccompanied with a re- duction of the taxes ; because, by that change, the taxes have, during the last fifteen years, been more than doubled in amount. That your petitioners therefore pray that your Honourable House will cause to be made a great and immediate reduction in the taxes; and that you will lie pleased to begin by totally abolishing the burdensome and cruel taxes on malt, hops, leather, soap, and caudles all of which are intolerably oppressive to farmers, to labourers, and to all the tradesmen anil others de- pending on the cultivation of the laud."

' The message of the President of the United State* was received on Wednesday. It is of enormous length, and not remarkable for any other quality but its length. The principal, indeed the only point in w hich it is calculated to interest greatly the English reader, is that in which the tariff is alluded to. During the recess of congress, the President says, it has not been found that the operation of the tariff has been as injurious to the agricultural and commercial interests of the union, or as beneficial to the manufacturing interest, as was anticipated. Importa- tions of foreign goods, he continues, have not been sensibly diminished, while domestic competition, under an illusive excitement, has increased the production much beyond the demand for home consumption. Tbe consequences have been low prices, temporary embarrassment, and partial loss. After some not very lucid commercial metaphysics, he adds, that which alone is of real moment, namely, in these words, " under these impressions, I invite your at- tention to the existing tari ff, believing that some of its provisions require modification," We find much difficulty in following the President's meaning iu some supplementary remarks which he is pleased to add, by way of illustration. The following para- graph is more intelligible : — " In deliberating on these interesting subjects, local feelings and prejudices should be merged in tbe patriotic determination to promote the great interests of the whole. All attempts to connect them with the party conflicts of the day, are necessarily in- jurious, and should be discountenanced. Our action upon them should be under the contrail of higher and purer motives. Legislation, subjected to such influences, can never be just, and will not long retain the sanction of a people, whose active patriotism is not bounded by sectional limits, nor insensible to that spirit, of concession and forbearance, which gave life to our political compact, and still sustains it. Discarding all calculations of political ascendancy, the North, the South, the East, and the West, should unite in diminishing any burthen, of which either may justly complain." And the following perhaps will be understood as pointing expressly to the character of the alterations the President contemplates:— " The agricultural interest of our country is 90 essentially connected with every other, and so superior in importance to them all, that it is scarcely necessary to invite to it your particular attention It is principally as manufactures and commerce tend to increase the value of agricultural productions, and to extend their application to the wants and comforts of society, that they deserve the fostering care of government." The only articles mentioned by name, as subjects of the proposed modifications, are tea and coffee. Our readers would not thank us for any detailed account of the other parts of the message : we shall notice them briefly. In the first place, the President reviews the foreign relations of the union, congratulating the country ( for it is the country the message really addresses, not congress) upon the general tranquillity that prevails. Certain political arrangements are in amicable pro- gress, among which the boundary question is noticed in terms of satisfaction. His Excellency expresses himself less heartily satisfied with the state of the relations subsisting between the United States and the South American republics, than he had the satis- faction of saying in respect to the European relations generally. The following paragraph is of some interest: — " The recent invasion of Mexico, and the effect thereby produced upon her domestic policy, must have a controuling influence upon the great question of South American emancipation. We have seen the fell spirit of civil dissension rebuked, and, perhaps, for ever stifled in that republic, by the love of independence. If it be true, as appearances strongly indicate, that the spirit of independence is Ihe master spirit, and if a corresponding sentiment prevails in the other States, this devotion to liberty cannot be with- out a proper effect upon the councils of the mother country. The adoption by Spain of a pacific policy towards her former colonies— an event consoling to humanity, and a blessing to the world, in which she herself cannot fail to participate— may be most reasonably expected." Then follows after this a discourse of great length on the article of the constitution, which relates to ihe presidential election, and his Excellency recommends such alteration as may restore Ihe dependence of tbe elections upon the will of the people alone. Some- thing is also said respecting office generally, with a view to the more complete establishment of the prin- ciples of democracy. The finances are always a satisfactory object of rontemplation to the United States' President. In considering a' speedy extinction of the public debt, the President, anticipates the means of employing the surplus revenue, namely, in Canals and roads. Thus far we have travelled only over one half the message; the long Remainder is occupied with minute disclosures of the state of various domestic, subjects and interests. His Excellency concludes with com- mending congress to the kindness of Providence, and himself to the kindness and indulgence of congress, and so terminates a message which would make a considerable pamphlet.

Oil Friday last, a meeting of itic freeholder* arid Inhabitants of the County of Salop, convened by the High Sheriff, took place at the Shire Hall, Shrews- bury, for the purpose of taking into consideration a proposed alteration in the line of road from London to Holyhead, through Shropshire.— The meeting was most respectably attended. Tlie HrctiSm LUFF( Char! esKynaston Maiuwaring, Esq.) took the ehair, and opened Ihe business of the meeting by saying that hi! had convened the assembly hi pursuance of a requisition w hich would be read by his deputy ; and lie should he glad to liear any gentleman present deliver his sentiments on the im- portant subject about to be submitted lo consideration. Mr. RLOXAM ( the Under Sheriff) then read the Re quisition inserted in our last Journal. J. Ciu. ssilT PELHAM, Esq. M. P. said, before he introduced the resolutions which he should shortly have the honour of submitting to ihe meeting, he tfould- take leave to observe, that he had been in ducedto take upon himself that task, in the presence of gentlemen so much better qualified to do ju- tice to the subject, from the circumstance of his having been the first to sign the requisition pursuant to which this meeting was convened : at the same time he would • ay, that he should only introduce his resolutions for the consideration of the meeting now assembled ; and if any thing better should be proposed, it would giv him great pleasure to acquiesce in any resolutions more likely fo obtain that resuft which all were anxioos to secure. He trusted that, in addressing tile assembly before him, he was addressing a body of men whose conduct was guided by rules of reason, impartiality,, and liberality, and who would not wish unnecessarily to obtrude their private interests as an obstacle to ihe accomplishment of any public good ; but who, at the same time, where they had right and reason on their side, would claim their just privilege of asserting ( heir rights, and of demanding that those rights should be respected. It was well known that the gentlemen who formed the body of Parliamentary Commissioners for the Improvement of Ihe Holyhead Road had projected a considerable alteration in the line of road through this county : and to that point fie wished to draw the particular attention of those present; becausc, in opposing the projected alteration, he thought they were only asserting and supporting their own just rights. It appeared to him that the line proposed for conveying letters between the two extremes of the county, Wellington and Chirk, would not answer so well as the line which, passing through Shrewsbury and Oswestry, now formed the great thoroughfare. Truly they ought to be grateful to those who had gone before them for the improvements already effected between Oswestry and Shiffnal: be spoke from good authority when he said that he be- lieved not less than £ 100,001) had been expended in bridges on this line within the memory of man. The conduct observed in and towards oilier places should be referred to in this case. In no other county be- tween Shrewsbury and London had the road been taken from the principal towns : improvements had been made certainly in several places willt a view to the retention of the great thoroughfare: and why should he suppose that improvements would not be made in Shrewsbury: indeed great improvements had been made, and he would venture to presume, that by the liberal assistance of the Country Gentlemen, further improvements would be effected. The Hon Gent, concluded an address, received with marked approbation, by proposing the resolutions advertised in another column. W. OIIMSBY GORE, Esq. said, he felt himself particularly flattered by an application that had been made to him subsequent lo his arrival in Shrewsbury that morning, to second the resolutions that had been proposed by Ihe Hon. Member for the county. There was not an individual in that Hall more strongly impressed than he was with Un- importance of the subject which they were met to consider. The great advantage of an important thoroughfare to any town, and the evident loss and depreciation occasioned to a town by the with- drawal of such a thoroughfare, were so self- evident as to require no observation; for if they looked throughout the Empire, there were instances enough to convince them that wherever a great thoroughfare had been withdrawn front any town, thai town hadgradunlly deteriorated, and sunk into insignificance. He certainly did not consider that a great thoroughfare was even of comparative importance lo a country district, for however desirable it may be to a country district, yet, generally speaking, country districts increased in value rather by the enlargement of neighbouring lowns the influx of respectable residents into those towns! and the increase of ihe commerce and manufactures carried on therein, by all of which Ihe markets and the demand for country produce were increased, and all these consequences were promoted by Ihe preservation of great thorough- fates through such towns. Impressed, however, as he was with these sentiments, he had not hitherto interfered with Ihe subject before the meeting, because lie considered the former pro- ceedings of a local nature, and as it were confined to the town of Shrewsbury. Now, however, under the sanction of the High Sheriff, the County was tsemblcd. He thought, most assuredly, that, in the first instance, it was of great importance to • - cure the continuance of the great thoroughfare through Shrewsbury, as the county town ; but be must confess, that himself and others bad observed with much concern, that plans had been brought forward, which, while they opposed Mr. Telford's plan of leaving out Shrewsbury, did themselves set forth projects for cutting oft' Oswestry from the line. He would say, that those who proposed cutting out Oswestry furnished Mr. Telford with the best argument in support of his own project: tor there was no argument that would apply lo Shrewsbury that would not, in a degree, apply to Oswestry ; and the principal valid arguments of those w ho opposed Mr. Telford's plans were, first, that he set forth new lines of road at an imtnei. se expense without any adequate object; and secondly, that in proposing lines of road by which the princi- pal towns were cut off from the great thoroughfare, lie was inflicting a serious injury on the residents und proprietors of these places, for which there was not the slightest equivalent. Those, therefore, who, in setting forth new schemes, by which they would wish to retain Shrewsbury iu the line, and at the same time leave out Oswestry, were, in reality, Instead of opposing Mr. Telford, giving their utmost aid to his views. He ( Major Gore) would tust observe thai he had been told by a professional individual of competent ability, that, retaining the road through Shrewsbury and Oswestry, improve- ments might still be made on Ihe line, between Wellington and Chirk, and to effect that improve- ment he would give his most cordial support. Major Gore concluded an address that was warmly applauded, by seconding the resolutions moved by Mr. Pelham, and which were carried unanimously. R. A. SI. ANEY, Esq. M. P. in proposing that a Committee of Gonntry Gentlemen should be ap- pointed to co- operate with the Cotiinliftee already appointed for the Town of Shrewsbury, reiterated some of his previous statements in opposition to Mr. Telford's plan. He observed that it had been ascer tabled that while about 12,700 Irish passengers came by way of Holyhead, upwards of 83,00'.) passed by way of Liverpool, and of course a great number by way of Bristol; that thus perhaps not more than one- seventh of the Irish passengers came by the route which it was sought to improve at the unwar- rantable cost of probably £ t00,000, in a period when every class of persons were suffering by the acknow- ledged public distress; and that, from the improve- ments and greater facilities- progressively taking plaee in steam- navigation, it was most fikely that the pro- portion of one- seventh wonld be still furfhet'decreased. The Viscount Ct. IVE cordially assented to the ap- pointment of a Committee, because he considered that to be tlie best mode of proceeding with a view to the great object of their meeting, which was to preserve the great thoroughfare in its present general route— to keep it through Shrewsbury, if possible, and through Oswestry also, if it was practicable. When, in another place, he should be called upon to discuss this subject, he should endeavour to have the road kept through Shrewsbury and Oswestry, but if he could not retain Oswestry in the line, lie would still contend for the road going through Shrewsbury. In Parliament the question might be argued on pub- lic and on private grounds. On public grounds lie certainly thought the spending of £ 100,000 in flie formation of the projected line would not be justified by the accomplishment Of any object that its pro- moters sought to obtain. Oil private grounds he should oppose it, as a Trustee of the properly of the late Earl of Tiridgcwater, because he thought that estate would, if the projected line we're formed, be subjected to an expense far exceeding any thing that would be paid by the Parliamentary Commissioners as compensation for land taken for the road ; ami he could further say, on the personal authority of his lamented friend, the late Earl of Bridgewater, that that nobleman was of opinion, that a fine ritore inju- rious to bis property could not have bt* en projected than that along which it was proposed lo form the new road. The main object of the local Committee about to be formed must be to retain the road thro' Shrewsbury; and to effect this there must lie, if requisite, Some sacrifice of private feelings: and here, Ihe first great points ithoulit be to improve the road in ils entrance and cfcit from Shrewsbury : therefore, before any call was made for ir general subscription, he thought the Committee should have a meeting with the Parliamentary Commissioners, who had the means of raising any requisite sum, which they eouhl apply to Ihe improvement of the road, and could charge upon that road : therefore the local Committee should call upon them fi r a definite plan, by which the road should be kept through Shrewsbury, and then they would see if they could feel themselves warranted in falling into that plan: for. if the roads through Shrewsbury and its suburbs, and at Overley Hill, were to remain in their present state, although they might, ( as he thought they should,) succeed in preventing the Bill passing in the approaching Session of Parliament, it would be brought forward in the following year, and might be ultimately carried. In former days, and almost within the memory of persons living, Shrewsbury was nearly limited lo the peninsula on which Ihey then stood, while now ils suburbs were extending and ramifying themselves in every direction; and if, as be thought possible, some deviation of the line should be proposed, bv which, while the town was retained on the road, Ihe great travelling route would not be along its centre, private feelings must give way to the more paramount public object, ivbicb would lie to improve the great line of rood without altogether leaving the tow n The Com mittcc should, in dealing with the Commissioners, insist upon it, that the present line, with certain improvements, is sufficient for all the purposessought to be effected ; for if the Committee proposed any plan by « hich there might be a gaining of distance iu some other district, while this district should he left undisturbed, they would admit the principle con- tended for by those who projected the line lo oppose which the present meeting was convened; and the projectors would get up in their place in Parliament, and say lo Ihe House, " Why our opponents admit Ihe principle for which we contend, and you have only to decide between them and us." The Commit- tee should openly declare to Ihe Commissioners, thai they wished and were determined, if possible, to retain the road through Shrewsbury ai* l Oswestry, and at the same time lo effect on that line every practicable improvement."— The Noble Viscount sat down amid great applause. T. N. PARK EH, Lsq. observed, that having had the honour of being elected on the Committee, he con sidered it. bul fair to say, that he should keep in view the plan of preserving the present line of road, con- curring entirely in what had been so ablv stated by his friend Mr. Ormsby Gore; and lie thought that the town of Shrewsbury would go to Parliament with an ill grace, in arguing for inviolability as regarded itself, if it denied it to Ihe town of Oswestiy. Sir W VV. VVynn, Bart, having been proposed as a member of the Committee, Mr. PELHAM said he hoped the worthy Baronet would accede to Ihe ap- pointment: for he was not merely connected with the subject in reference to his estates near Oswestry, but had a very extensive property in Wenlock and its vicinity ; and if the proposed deviation were effected, an alteration in the line of travelling lo Bath would, no doubt, be made, by which instead of going through YVcnIock and Bridgnorth, passengers who came along the Shropshire road, would be conducted into another route, instead of taking the present course through that division of the county. The resolution appointing Ihe Committee having been carried, the Viscount Clive proposed the thanks of the Meeting to the High Sheriff, which motion was seconded by John Cressett Pelham, Esq, and adopted unanimously : after which the meeting broke up. look to be dry ground, but which proved to be a stagnant ditch, Ihe water of which, evaporated by the summer heat, had left a residuum, which for consist- ence and odour might be likened to the most unutter- able abominations. 1 was absolutely so enforce as to be in danger of suffocation ; but by dint of immense exertion I at length succeeded, by the aid of the luxuriant corn which £ rew on the banks, in extri- cating myself from this vilest of durances ; and creeping forward, 1 lay down in the midst of the1 field, listening to the clattering of the horses' hoofs as ( h'ey rang on the pavement, to the shouts of the assailants, and the scattered fire of their carbines and pistols, discharged in exchange for the fire of our outposts. To describe the train of disagreeable thought, nay of miserable feeling, which occupied my mind at this moment, is quite impossible. A more rapid moral transition from pleasure to pain, from happiness to misery, cannot lie imagined. Instead of my day- dreams of victory, of glory and promotion, Verdun or Valenciennes, with its dungeon, and a lengthened imprisonment, appeared in withering and close per- spective. Between me and my brig, whose Hag I saw gallantly waving o'Ver ihe Waters of the Elbe, at the distance of 2000 yards, was interposed, for aught that I knew, an entire French corp.* ( Varmce. It was indeed a blighting sight; and in'the bitterness of the irfoment I Was trot " illy tempted to curse my own folly but to anathematise a'fl womankind, who had thus Seduced me from my own element and my own quarter- deck, on which I ought to have been standing, free and independent. In the midst of this bitter reverie the noise subsided and the firing ceased. I ventured to look around me. All appeared tranquil. T became somewhat re- assured.; and seeing two men in an adjoining field, ventured to approach them. They gave me a plank to cross a stream, I asked. by signs, and in Knglish'tunied topsy- turvy ( which makes no bad German) what road the eiVer. fy hail taken? They motioned that they had retreated, and de- manded money from me at the same instant. Im- pressed by the belief that if We realiv were masters of the place the men would not have bad the hardi- hood to do this, 1 instantly made off, intending to skirt the town and gain the landing- place. In passing I heard sounds which I thought familiar. I ap- proached one of tiic lanes which traverse the main street, and there beheld !— conceive the emotion, if you can, with which I beheld— our own dear, de- lightful, eccentric and gallant Jacks, armed with pike, cutlass, and pistol, going it through the town, with all the celerity anil animation of a fox chase, ill full cry, — 1' Forward, my boys f' ' Have at the French rascals!' ' I j— n their eyes, we'll work them for this!' 4 And j> o we will, niv brave lads,' I cried exultingly, burst- ing into the ni. dst of them, and joining heart and soul in the enlivening chorus. My transport on this Unexpected deliverance was only inferior to that of the reprieved criminal with the baiter round his neck, and forcibly asstif'ed tn<~ how true it is, that perfectly to enjoy we niust first suffer. To account for this' sudden transformation in the slate of my affairs few words Will suffice. Intelligence of Ihe enemy's en- trance had quickly reached the squadron, together with the news that Lord George Stuart and' Captain Watts were taken prisoners. All the boats were in- ' stantly manned and armed, and a force of 300 sea- men and marines landed for their rescue, whom Lord George had tlie pleasure of meeting at the landing- place. His Lordship, in his first tlight, was accom- panied up stairs by the pretty Miss S., who first sug- gested an asvluni up the cliirtiney, then under her bed, . and finally in her bed. King Charles the Second, of amorous memory, often declared, that w hen in the midst of the oak be * would not have kissed the bonniest lass iu a' Christendom,' and so, in like manner, bad Miss S., all I offered to be his Lordship'- bed companion at this critical moment, I verily believe be would have de- i clined the overture. He made a better election ; for, happening to observe a burgher's dress in one of the roojiis, he put it on, sallied forth at tlie back door, and reached the landing place just in time to put himself at the bead of bis men, whom he was leading in pursuit when I joined, and cordially shook him by ( be baud. It would be difficult to say, whether his joy at our escape or his merriment at my appearance was the greatest. An hour before I had been the meet inmate of a lady's boudoir ; and now, covered from head to foot with filth and mire, I was untouch- able, nay, almost unapproachable, by any human being. Even Jack himself, with all his deference for his commander, was constrained to chuckle at the grotesqueness of my appearance. Heartily did I join iu the laugh, merrily observing, that my condi- tion was a fine illustration of the truism, that * front the sublime lo the ridiculous is hut a step !' ' But what say you, my Lord,' I added, ' io our giving a practical commentary upon it to those fellows!'— pointing to Ihe enemy's cavalry, about sixty in num- ber, whom we saw drawn up on an eminence a few miles off. The proposition was hardly uttered when it was assented to ; Lord George observing, ' I was just about to ask vouropinion upon that point." A halt was made, provisions were sent for, and fhcu off we started in pursuit, determined, if possible, lo serve out to our opponents a double portion of their own mea sure; and pretty well we executed our mission. * * * At daylight we all but caught every rogue of them napping: twenty minutes sooner, and the entire body of both cavalry and infantry would have been sur- prised in their cantonments : as it was wc sent them scampering, like the herd of swine filled with devils, in treble- quick time. It was mv lucky lot to bear Ihe most prominent part in the affair. With my own hands I struck the flag in the battery, after giving them a most glori ins peppering in our advance, and subsequently unspiking their guns, and bringing them to bear upon them in their retreat. We raptured Mons. Le Murche, the leader of the detachment, and his gallant charger ; and, in twenty- eight hours after the commencement of these detailed events, I was, in spite of a severe wound, gaily and triumphantly prancing on that very pavement, and on that identical horse, which, with its rider, now my prisoner, had phired me in such jeopardy and filled me with such consternation. Mr. Webb, the surgeon, was immediately called in, and he used every means to counteract the effects of the poison, but it was too late. Death a'one could relieve the little sufferers, and the unfortunate mother was soon left to the agonizing reflection of having been the destroyer of her own infants. The Jury having heard the whole evidence, and taking into consideration the good character of the mother, returned the following Verdict, " That the deceased's deaths were occasioned by Ann Barker, the mother, having administered to each of them, through io noi- atice, an over dose of laudanum, taken medicinally." [ From the frequency of similar fatal occurrences, it is evident that mothers are too apt to administer laudanum, and other opiates and soothing cordials, to their infants, not having a proper knowledge of their baneful effects. Surely, this will operate as a caution J ATTACK BY A LEOPARD IN THE TOWER. On Saturday forenoon, about twelve o'clock, a mlist desperate attack was made upon a young man;, named Joseph Crouey, residing iu Brick- lane, VVhitechapel, by one of the leopards at the a en age lie at Ihe Tower, by which he is most seriously injured. The circumstances are as fol- low : — The employer of Croney bad contracted with Mr. Copps, tiie manager of the exhibition, for the bones of the carcasses with which the animals are fed, and on Saturday morning he was sent with a horse and cart to remove them. The keepers had just before been employed in cleansing the dens of them, and had heaped them up in the yard, pre- paratory to their removal. In securing Ihe cages again they had* unfortunately, neglected to bolt the ifoor of the leopard's den, which worked in a groove backwards and forwards, similar to a glass case. The unfortunate Croney, having entered the yard alone with a basket to remove the refuse, commenced his work, but had not been many seconds employed when, on raising h'is head, he perceived the leopard push back the door with his paw. The poor fellow, seeing the perilous situation iu which be was placed, t. i. lov for the keeper's apartment, but before he could stir many paces the infuriated beast sprang from bis den towards him. The unfortunate Crouey flew behind Some timber near liitn, thinking to avoid the fury of the animal, but at t ut moment the leopard pounced upon him, and, sticking his immense claws on either side of his neck, grasped the back of bis, neck with his tusks, and kept a fast hold. The poor fellow sb. ieked out in the most excruciating pain, and expected nothing but instant destruction, and, with Ihe animal fastened as above described, he hobbled to the keeper's room, when, lo add to his dreadful fears, be found the door fastened by a latch, and could not open it. However, his cries being at length heard by two of the keepers, they came Immediately lo his assistance, but before they could arrive the animal had yot his victim upon the ground, keeping fast hold of him by the neck. The men, upon perceiving the perilous situation he was iu, endeavoured all they possibly could to entice the beast away, but, finding all attempts to allure him fruitless, one of them seized a fowling- piece, and commenced beating him over the head with the butt end till they succeeded in completely stunning him, apd, being no longer able to keep his hold, he I dropped quite insensible, but not till the gun was | broken in pieces. Tlie unfortunate young man, elv as she^ was' 1 having been released, was immediately carried to ' '' the house of a surgeon upon Tower hill, where the wounds iu his neck were dressed, and from thence he was taken to Guy's Hospital, and placed under the care of Mr. . Morgan, one of the principal surgeons, when, upon examination, the vertebrae of the neck were found to be extensively lacerated by Ihe teeth cf the beast, and each side of the neck upon the shoulders was equally injured by its talons,- which hud penetrated to a great depth. The necessary steps were resorted to by . Mr. Morgan, and, although the sufferer remains in ex- cessive agony, lie i3 considered to be doing well. FBTSRELLANEOTTE KUTELUGE; UJ. AVI VAL ANECDOTES. INQUEST AT BARTON- UNDER- NEEDWOOD An interesting biography of distinguished officers has just been published, from which we extract the following curious anecdote of Capt. G. E. Watts and Lord George Stuart - " Our narrative of the circumstances which led to the attack of the French troops in Hanover is con- tained in a letter from Captain Watts to one of his private correspondents. ' Captain Goate, assisted by myself, as already stated, having expelled Ihe French force from Cuxhaven and Ritzbuttle, was superseded shortly after in the command of the squadron by Lord George Stuart ; and wc have, under his Lord- ship's auspices, just performed an exploit with that promptitude and decision which exalt English sailors in the estimation of the world, and which will, if I mistake not, form one of the adornments of our naval annals. The circumstances which preceded and finally led to this enterprize, as respects both Lord George Stuart and myself, are in themselves so interesting and peculiar, and it may be added, ludi- crous, that I cannot forego the gratification of fully detailing them. Gallantry in ' love and war,' in ' lady's bower mid tented field,' are with the warrior one and indivisible. So sang the immortal trouba- dours, those chroniclers of the ' deeds of days of other years.' We had obtained the ascendancy over our rivals in the one, and it therefore became incumbent on us lo equalor surpass theni in the other. Amongst the number of those whose smiles proved magnetic, were the pretty MissS. and her companion Miss N.; i. ord George Stuart and myself had just paid them a morning visit. The window of their drawing- room overlooked the main street of Ritzbuttle ; anil while diligently employed in playing the agreeable, I by chance looked out, and was surprised by the sudden appearance of two mounted dragoons, with drawn sabres, dashing down the street, closely followed by others. Accosting Lord George, who was busily engager! in conversation with MissS. I asked, 1 Where have those German dragoons come from? 1 He did not notice the question, and 1 repeated it. He then turned to look; and his eye glancing on the length- ened cpltinm, the truth Hashed on his mind. He sprang on his feet, vehemently exclaiming, 1 We are surprised, the French arc in the town, and we are all taken.' More appalling words never saluted my ears; nor was a delightful tete- a- tete ever more abruptly or disagreeably interrupted. We sought instant safety in flight; lie one way, 1 another. My mute lay through the garden, terminated by a pali- sade, which 1 mounted, and tUeu leaped on what 1 An inquest was held oil Saturday, the 26th ult. at Ihe Bell Inn, iu'jBarton- under- Needwood, before F. noch Hand, Gent, coroner, and a very respectable jury, on the bodies of Thomas and Joseph Barker, ( twin infants, of the age of one month,) whose deaths were caused by the effects of laudanum, adminis- tered to then) by their mother, under Ihe following circumstances:— Joseph and Ann Barker, parents of the deceased, reside ut Silver Hill, near Barton, and are in the service of Henry George Gascoyne, Esq. the occu- pier of that farm. It appeared from Ihe evidence, that both children were born healthy, but for several days previous to their deaths they had been extremely fretful anil restless both day and night, so that her constant attention to them had exhausted the strength of their mother. On Tuesday, the 22d ult. Ihe children appeared still more unquiet. About six o'clock in the evening, Mary lilackshaw, a fellow- servant, having finished her work, and seeing Ihe mother quite fatigued and worn out, and unable to pacify the children, took them from her lo nurse, and to endeavour to get them to sleep. She asked the mother if she had any thing to give them; at the same time observing that she ( Mary Blaeksliaw) had heard her mother say that, when she was au infant she gave her a tea spoonful of laudanum- Upon which the mother of the deceased said, " I have got a little laudanum in the house ; 1 would give them a drop or t wo if I thought it would not hurt them ;" and immediately went up stairs and brought down a small bottle containing some laudanum. The unfortunate mother, iu order to quiet her children mixed up live drops of the laudanum with some sugar in a tea spoon, and gave the whole to the infant Thomas; and told Mary Blackshaw to mix ten drops with a little sugar for Joseph, which the mother also gave to liiin, us being the strongest child. The children shortly afterwards went to sleep and were laid iu the cradle. i, About nine o'clock the mother retired lo bed, and Ihe children were taken to her asleep. At ten o'clock Joseph Barker, the husband, also went to bed, and upon taking up the infant Joseph into his arms, ( as be was accustomed to do before he got into bed,) he perceived an alteration, and told his wife he was sure all was not right with the child, and asked her ihe reason, and if she had been oiving him anything. She said she bad given them both a little laudanum. He then asked her how much she had given them. She told him ten drops to Joseph and five drops to Thomas. He said it was too much— he would fetch Mr. Webb. She then told him there was no occasion to fetch Mr. Webb ut all, as they would both be better after their sleep* ••• " ' " LEGISLATION.— Our body was little numerous but very contentious. Day after day was wasted on the most unimportant questions. A member, one of those afflicted with the morbid rage of debate, of an ardent mind, prompt imagination, and copious flow of words, who heard with impatience any logic which was not his own, sitting near tne on some occasion of a trifling but wordy debate, asked me how 1 could sit in silence, hearing so much false reasoning, which a word should refute? I observed to him, that to refute indeed was easy, but to. silence impos- sible; that in measures brought forward by myself, I took the labouring oar as was incumbent on me, but that, ill general, 1 was willing to listen; that if every sound argument or objection was used by some one or other of the numerous debaters it was enough, if not, 1 thought it sufficient to suggest the omission, without going into a repetition of what had been already said by others : that this was a waste and abuse of the time and patience of the House, which could not be justified. And I believe, that if the members of deliberate bodies were to observe this course generally, they would do in a day what takes them a week : and it is really more questionable than may at first he thought, w hether Bonaparte's dumb Legislature, which said nothing and did much may not be preferable to one which talks much and does nothing. 1 served w ith General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia, before the revolution, and during it with Dr. Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of ihem speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point which was to decide the question. They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the little ones would follow themselves. If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise, in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade is to question every thing, yield nothing, and talk by the hour ? That one hundred and fifty lawyers should do business together, ought not to be expected.— Jeffcrtoris Memoirs. BARBAROUS OUTRAGIJ.— Thirteen monsters, it is stated, were concerned in the inhuman outrage com- mitted on the two brothers, ' natped Doyle, pear Kil- rush, whose Knaves trere at out— ten are known, and two, named Clune and Magrath, are in custody. — Pvblin Evening Packet. The two brothe s, named Doyle, whose tongues were cut out by a party of monsters in the west of the county of Clare, are likely to recover, though slowly. Their tongues are preserved in spirits by the medical attendant at Kilrusb.— l. imcrick Chroniclc. On Saturday last another of the miscreants who cut out the tongues of the Doyles, Mr. Westropp's care- takers, at Droiiiellihy, named Sullivan, was ap- prehended at Kilrush. To the great credit of Mr. YVestropp's humanity, the moment he received an ac- count of the cruel treatment of his unfortunate ser- vanls, he forthwith enclosed £ 10 to his agent, Mr. Richard O'Donnell, to be applied in providing them every necessary attendance.— Ennis Chronicle. AMERICAN SEAMEN.— It is well known that the number of our able- bodied seamen is yearly decreas- ing, and such is our deficiency at this moment, that, if a seventy- four were ordered to be fitted for a cruise, it is doubtful whether all the seaports in the United States would be able to furnish a complement of men in less than six, nine, or perhaps twelve months. The introduction of steam- boats has no doubt had a very injurious effect upon the increase of our seamen, as ihe navigation of our principal rivers and, to a certain extent, the mode of carrying oil our coasting- trade— these two great nurseries of seamen— are changed. Instead of the innumerable number of sloops, schooners, and square- rigged vessels which were formerly in use, employing from thrre to ten tolerable sailors, we now have a few large steam and tow- boats, with a few ordinary seamen and as many land- lubbers each, to perform the duties which, a few- years since, required some thousands of able bodied men, who sooner or later became expert seamen. The rapid decline of our commerce has also had its effects, and hundreds of our most experienced seamen have gone to foreign countries for employment. Our ships of war lately fitted for sea have been obliged to sail without their complement of first- rate seamen, ami with little confidence in the capabilities of the ordinary class. This is a serious evil, and one which may bring upon us loss of reputation, if not disgrace. The officers in the navy are becoming alarmed at this state of things, and, as men jealous of their reputa- tions, begin to devise plans for improving the material of our navy, on which their characters so much de- pend.— A Vic York Enquirer, Dec. 1.

DEATH FROM FIGHTING— Coroner's Verdict, MIRORI;.— One of those scenes which so frequently disgrace this country, in consequence of the barbarous mode of fighting termed " Lancashire," occurred near Congleton, in the night of the 24th of Novem- ber last, and from the implicated parties having absconded before the death of their victim, it may lie reasonably presumed that they were conscious of their unmanly and murderous conduct towards the deceased, whose ribs were fractured from repeated kicks from the two men charged with his death. It appears from the evidence before the coroner, Mr. Hollins, at Bug- lawtooy the substance of which has been transmitted to us, that four men on their way home called at the cotlage of Ellen Booth, to ask for some water to drink, and that they all appeared affected with liquor. John Waddalow, George Smith, and George Johnson entered together; the deceased John Gaskell, joined them in a few minutes, but be was more affected than the others. As soon as they met they began to quarrel, and shewing a disposition to fight, they were ordered out. On leaving the house they instantly commenced fighting, but Johnson returned with the clothes of Waddalow and sat him down. Presently the cries of distress were beard from without, and on some of the inmates going to the party, deceased was lying on the ground, and Waddalow and Smith kicking him most violently. No sooner was deceased lifted on his feet than Waddalow struck him, knocked him down, and he and Smith kicked him as before. The person who went to the assistance of deceased, was also knocked down by them, but he got away and remained at a distance from them for about 20 minutes, during which time he believed Waddalow and Smith were still kicking the deceased, as he made most lamentable noise. On remonstrating with them afterwards he was told that if he interfered they would give hitn ten times as much, and was asked what business he had to interfere. The inmates of the cottage then brought the deceased in covered with blood, where he remained all night, and was taken home the next day, where he lingered in great pain for a month. On examination of the body by Mr. Bullock, surgeon, of Congleton, it appeared that the lungs were adhering to the fractured ribs and in a state of suppuration, and that, in his opinion, the death of the man had been caused by the extemal violence received on the occasion before stated. A quarrel, it seems, had taken place between the parlies before they left Congleton, where they had been drinking, and the three men calling in at the cottage to procure water was only a pretext to wait for Gas- kell, that they might renew the quarrel with him, and satisfy their fiend- like vengeance. George Holland, Esq. late of Cavendish- square, a gentleman » f great respectability and large fortune, who died about three weeks ago, has by his will bequeathed to the Westminster Infirmary, the muni- ficent legacy of £ 10,000; and the sum also of £ 10,000 to the Middlesex Hospital; besides various other sums to different charities. Mr. Wilkinson, the English banker, whose talent and large capital have been employed at Paris in several great financial operations, died suddenly there a few days ago, at an English party, shortly after having been admitted to a private audience with Prince Polignac. The sirloin of beef is said to owe its name to King Charles the Second, who dining upon a loin of beef, and being particularly pleased with it, asked the name of the joint. On being told, he said, « for its merit, then, I will Knight it, and henceforth it shall be called Sir Loin."— In a ballad of " the new Sir John Barleycorn" this circumstance is thus mentioned .-— Our Second Charles, of fame fucelc, On loin of beef did dine; He held his sword, pleas'd, o'er Ihe meat, Arise, thou fam'il .

Report has it that it was originally a hunting seat of Queen Elizabeth. The table is thick, and has a clumsy appearance, is made of Eng- lish oak, which from the effects of time, is a little de- cayed. Some of the knots of the wood have been lately taken out, and pieces of oak of the same age neatly let into it, and the top newly polished.— Esse/ c Herald. DISCOVERY OF A NEW PRINCIPLE IN BOX- WOOD.— An apothecary of Boui- deuux announced to the Pharmaceutical Society at its last sitting, that he had discovered iu the wood, and particularly in the bark of the box tree, an alkaline principle, to which he gives the name of buccine. This princi- ple, which he has only been able to obtain in powder, saturates acids, and forms with tliein uncrystallizablesalts. This new principle extracted from box wood may be used in medicine. It has a very strong sudorific action; and, indeed, iu Ihe old works on medicine and pharmacy box- wood is classed among the sudorifics. The buccine has a very bitter taste. At the Philoinathie Society, where this communication was made, M. Dnpelit Thouars remarked that bucciue might probably be advantageously used in the manufacture of beer; " for," said he, " there is more box wood than hops employed ill making almost all the beer brewed in Paris."— Literary Gazette. SANATORY USES OF RIVERS.— The river is a minister of health and purity. It carries off the superabundant moisture which, if stagnating on the surface of the ground, would be injurious both to plants and animals. It carries off to the sea those saline products which result from animal and vegeta- ble decomposition, and which soon convcrt into deserts those places where there are no streams Rivers also tend to purify the air, as well as to drain the earth of deleterious matter. The current of water that descends from the high grounds causes a gradual motion in the air, by which that Over different kinds of surfaces is interchanged. This is all that is meant by purifying the air. When it remains long over any particular kind of surface, it ceases to take up the effluvia which, by stagnating, would be converted into a poison. It is by changes of this kind that winds, hurricanes, and thunder- storms are said to clear the air; and what they do with violence is silently done by the ever- flowing current of a living stream.— The British Naturalist.

CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 27.— Some days before Ihe evacuation of Adi ianople, Field- Marshal Count Diebiisch reviewed 15,000 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, > and 24 pieces of cannon, in the vicinity of the Kski Serai. Before he left Adrianople, Count Diebilsclt had taken the most suitable measures for preserving public tranquility ati'd security, and summoned the Griek inhabitants, many of whom seemed disposed to create disturbances, befu- e the Archbishop, to lay down their arms, within three days at the furthest; those who shi uld disobey were threat- ened with capital punishment. The Russian troops have commenced their march to Kainabat and the towns situated on the Black Sea. The head. quarters go for the present to Bottrgas, not to Selimuo, as was previously stated. Some regular troops tinder Alisch Pacha are gone to oc- cupy Adrianople; meantime, the corps of General Geismar, stationed near Sophia, having retired to the Danube, the great road from Constantinople to Belgrade is now clear of foreign troops. The corps of the Pacha of Scutaria, hitherto occupied be- tween Philippopoplis and Sophia, baS orders to retire to Albania. Several changes have lately been made in offices of State; among the ne\ v appoint- ments is that of Jussitf Pacha, of Sua, to Ihe post of Governor of Smyrna, iu Ihe room of the late Hassan Pacha. A niorcimportunt change, which is expected greatly to contribute to the permaneut establishment of tranquillity, in Asia Minor, which has lately been the theatre of various disorders, is the re- establishment of the Chief of the once powerful family of Kara Osinanoglou, iu the greater part of its ancient possessions. Kutschilk Mehomed Aga Kara Osnianoglou ( this is the name of the present bead of the family) has already pro- ceeded lo Magnisia, where his presence is the mora useful, as Ihe mountaineers of the district of Aidiu, whose insurrection is not quelled, though Guesel- liessal has since been retaken, have lately not. only threatened Magnisia, but even the environs of Smyrna, and have taken Kassaba without opposition. The reinstatement of the great families, formerly so powerful, under whose protection extensive pro viuces of Asia Minor enjoyed extraordinary pro- sperity, is much desired not only by the Musselnieti, but also by the Christian inhabitants of those coun- tries. The Porte hopes, that in complying with this wish, it has found the means of putting an end, without violent measures, to the troubles which have been occasioned there by the extortion of some Governors. Profound tranquillity prevails in the capital, not withstanding the danger ( now that the navigation of the Black Sea is again open) of the spreading of the plague, which has unhappily broken out again at Odessa. The health of the capital aud environs has remained quite satisfactory.* * The accounts from Odessa of Ihe 11th of Decem- ber say thai the severe cold, by which the road was frozen up, bail checked the progress of the plague*. No new eases bail occurred, and the internal cominu- uicalious were to be restored in a few days, hut III* town was lo be kept without communication for twenty- four days longer.— Austrian Obttner, Oec.' i3, It would seem, by the following article from St. Petersburgh, ( contained in the Messager des Cham- bres just received) that the Czar's subjects are bjr no means satisfied at his having withdrawn his armies from Constantinople, without having plauted his victorious standards on its wall :— " St. Petersburyh, Dec. 10.— Notwithstanding the public rejoicings and religious ceremonies with which the treaty of Adrianople has been celebrated here, it is no less true that this peace has caused trreat discontent among all classes. The stipula- tions of the treaty, far from answ ering the expecta- tions of the nation, are universally blamed both en the whole and iu ihe details. The indemnities stipulated are not proportioned to the sacrifices which the war has caused; and whatever pains may be taken to diminish the losses sustained by our armies, it is however notorious that the two cam- paigns have cost us above 100,000 soldiers. And when at length, people say with indignation, our brave soldiers had passed Ihe Balkan, which was never before forced, and had entered victorious the second capital of the empire, they are suddenly stopped, as if they were envied the fruit and the honour, which they so well deserved, of planting their victorious standard on Ihe walls of Constan- tinople. The pretended danger to Ihe Christian population of Constantinople was probably a vain pretext. On the entrance of our troops into that capital we should have beheld the spectacle as in all the towns conquered from the Turks: instead of attacking their Christian fellow- citizens, the Maho- metans would have hasted to meet our troops aud implore their protection; still less reason was there to fear the passage of the Dardanelles by the Eng- lish fleet. In 1807, Admiral Duckworth having passed them, was glad to escape with pretty con- siderable loss, though he had to do only with a single man, Gen. Sebasliani. The reason that our troops were envied the triumphal entry into Con- stantinople was, that they alone would have had ull the honour, aud that no ally would have shared it with them. " The Emperor Nicholas is not ignorant of this language, which is heard among all classes. His brothers, the Grand DukesCdnstantine and Michael, were the first to hold it to him, which, as well as the mission of Gen. Muffling, has caused the coolness between the brothers which still continues, andin which we must look for the chief cause of the me- lancholy of the Emperor Nicholas and the slowness of bis cenvalesence. Heaven grant that be may not have a dangerous relapse! His Majesty is pale, feeble, and gloomy, which does not a little increase our feat s." The Roman empire, in the days of Trajan, its most balmy hour, extended but 3000 miles from east- to west, and 2000 from north to south. The Russian, at this hour of its comparative infancy, extends 10,000 miles from east to west, and 3000 from noi- th to south. The Roman was the growth of eight cc- u- turles, the Russian of one. CHEERFULNESS A GREAT SOURCE OF HFALTH. — While the indulgence of the passions injures the health, both of the body and the mind, in various ways, a calm, contented, cheerful disposition, cannot fail of being a great source of health. Looking- at the favourable side of things causeth, as Father Paul saith, " our little to prosper ;" and independent of the other advantages afforded by equanimity of temper, " a cheerful tone of mind," as Lord Bacon says, u helps digestion more than is imagined." It was the saying of Dr Sydenham, that the arrival of a Merry Andrew in a town was of more benefit to the health of the inhabitants, than that of twenty asses loaded with medicines. " A merry heart," saitii Solomon, " doetb good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones."— Oracle of Health. Mr. Dawes, a gentleman residing near the Forest Gate, Essex, set a man- trap in his poultry- yard, which he boasted would have the effect of prevent- ing the visits of the silent poachers, who were nightly levying contributions on the poultry of his neighbours. The morning after he made the boast of bis fancied security, he found that his poultry's guardian, the man- trap, had disappeared, and all his fowls had gone with it. few diseases have more baffled Ihe Faculty than Scrofula and Scurvy iu their various forms, aud for their cure almost every article in the Materia Medica has been tried without success. The only Medicine of repute at this time is Mr. Liguitm's Antiscorbutic Drops, which have certainly bteu very successful in eradicating these harassing Complaints. Scarce a week occurs but we have an opportunity of recording a well- authenticated cure performed by these Drops. For a recent one— See our first page.
