He proceeded to Earl Cr-. svenor's seat immediately on his arrival. A meeting of ( he inhabitants of the county of Norfolk took place on Saturday last, to pet jion Par liament to take off the duty on malt ; when reso- lutions to that effect were carried by a large majority. — An apprehension was, however, expressed at the meeting, that in the present state of the Revenue, any extensive remission of taxes on consumable articles Would be the signal for the imposition of an income or properly tax. The High Sheriff of Cheshire has appointed a County Meeting to be held at Northwich on Monday next, to consider of a Petition to Pwliament for Relief from the Distress which unhappily afflicts so many classes of His Majesty's subjects. A requisition to the High Sheriff of Cumberland is in the course of signature, for the purpose of calling a county meeting, to petition Parliament to take into consideration the distressed state of the country. We are authorsed to say, that there is little doubt the High Sheriff will consent to the measure.— Carlisle Patriot. A few weeks ago, we intimated that it was the intention of the Staffordshire masters to blow out fifteen of their furnaces ; some little difference, how- ever, occurring amongst these gentlemen, each person has since acted upon his own opinions ; the result has been that ten furnaces have stopped working, and it is anticipated that at least ten more will be suspended within the next fortnight, if no change iu the state of affairs takes place.— Birmingham Journal. IRELAN D.^— STATE OF THE COUNTRY. [ From the Star if Brunswick.']. Again it is our painful task to direct the atten- tion of our readers to the heavy and grievous detail of crime which a week has furnished, and which will be found inserted iu our subsequent columns. With such an accumulation in BO short a space of time, how can we be told that this country, is improving, or that recent measures have operated towards the restoration of tranquillity : When Lord Wellosley arrived iu Ireland, it wae admitted upon all hands that she was iu a state little, if any thing, short of opeu rebellion. IS was complained of as a grievance then, that it required over twenty thousand troops to enforce the ad- ministration of the laws, tw enty- two thousand was the precise number then quartered in Ireland. Flow stands the ease now ? Thus:— There are at this moment seven Regiments of Cavalry, twelve Brigadesof Artillery, - nineteen Infantry Regiments, and twenty- fire Reserve Companies, constituting a force of twenty- four thousand seven hundred soldiers, exclusive of Militia, Staff, and Yeomanry Corps. Add to this an immense body of Bayonctted Constabulary not in existence oil the arrival of Lord Wellcsley; and yet the force, civil and military, greatly augmented as both have been, is'found insufficient lo preserve tranquillity. In w hole districts men live in their houses iu a per petual state of siege, and after nightfall no Pro- testant dare venture with safety from his dwelling. I! has been urged, and lately too, in a manner mosi ostentatious, by Sir James Scarlett, that Ireland is in peace, and that the only information to the con- trary is to be found in the columns of certain Journals, meaning thereby, as Lawyer Scarlett himself would inuendo ( he phrase, the Protestant Journals of this country. We do pot manufacture these statements. We are quite sure that hundreds upon hundreds of outrages are never recorded. In one county ( l'ipperary), sixty- Jive inquests bad Levn i,, tt,,. cr n. t. ni^ mb., -•-> r• — sous who bad been murdered, and were actually presented for by the Grand Jury; and it is a well- known fact, that inquests are not held npon the bodies of more than one- half of those w hose, exist- ence terminates fcy violent death.

Patrick Seymour, aud four accomplices, for firing flt and wounding John Vaughan, and cutting his cars off. The accomplices were residents in the neighbourhood of Borrisokane, and had travelled a distance of eighteen miles for the purpose of per- petrating this savage outrage. They were wholly uuacquaiiited with their intended victim, and re- ceived a sum of seven shillings for the Job." Four men for the murder of John Bryan, of Bor- risokane. This unfortunate man was a principal witness for Hodgens in the celebrated ease of 1 eger; and was murdered while the Solicitor- General and Mr. Blacker were holding an inquiry into the circumstances of the affray with the Police, and w ithin half a mile of the spot in which they were sitting' as Commissioners ou the part of Government.

The Magistrates of Worcestershire at the late Sessions, came to the conclusion, by a majority of seven, that, the best mode of remedying the so long complained of evils of the present Courts of Justice in the Guildhall, Worcester, was, by the county erect- ing, at its own cost* a separate and distinct edifice, which should provide it with entirely New Courts, with ihe addition of Judges' Lodgings, and all other needful appurtenances. Upon the insufficiency of the present Courts, the Magistrates assembled ( with the exception of Mr. Welch, anal a few other gentlemen), appeared generally agreed. Though it was finally resolved to erect New Courts, yet, it is understood, that it is not intended to press the matter forward; hut ( yvhen the bill shall pass into a law) to give full time for preparation, so that there is DO prospect of beginning the building before the Spring of 1833; the*.* fore no rate will be levied before ? Jichaeb » as, 18C3, nearly three years. The annual income of the property of the county, according to ( he return of I 1825, is £ 750,000. If, therefore, it shall be thought proper to levy £ 33,000, including interest and all outgoings ( a sum thought necessary by some of the Magistrates) for the object in view, it will require ab., ut 9d. iu the pound to repay that sum; and if, as it is proposed, that sum should he raised in the space of fifteen or sixteen years, it will be only necessary to levy ou the income of the county, in any one year, three farthings in the pound.— No particular site is at present contemplated for the erection of the County Courts.— VVe understand that a requisition to the Iligh Sheriff of this county is iu the course of sig- nature, requesting him to call a County Meeting, to take into consideration the necessity of erecting a new County Hall, and also to consider the present state of Agricultural Distress.

Th. c severity of the winter has been indicated by the arrival, in this vicinity, of various specimens of birds of rare occurrence, together with several flights of wild swans;— of this lulter species of bird, two were shot near Shrewsbury last week, viz. one at Montford Bridge, and the other near Berwick. Among the not very common incidents of the present intense frost, it may be mentioned, that yes- terday a boy standing close to the iron rails at the top of the centre walk of the Quarry, in this town, to look at other boys playing, incautiously applied his mouth to the top of the iron railing; be was instantly trapped; and so fast was the poor boy held by the frost, that although he lost some blood, and a por- tion of the skin of his tongue, in his struggles to release himself, all bis efforts were unavailing, until bis novel situation was observed by one of his brothers and the. keeper of the Quarry, the lalter of whom brought siurie hot water front the Lodge, and succeeded in releasing the sufferer by thawing the frozen interior of his mouth and the portion of the iron rail to which il had adhered.

The proceedings of the late Cour. tv Meeting, tts detailed in your iast Journal, are calculated to give rise to reflections, and to lead to a course of public Ofxration, that may not have presented themselves to the mind of the cursory observer. You, Sir, have thought it your duty, in the exercise of your function, to point the public attention to the observations of ihe Viscount Clive, and to call upon your townsmen to second his Lordship's views. I, Sir, cordially concur in the opinion generally expressed by those who attended the late meeting, that bis Lordship's adilrfss was lli .1, nf ITIFIRI ot" busiiims, well ai'ijii^ intts! with the subject on which be spoke— in plain Eng- lish, the opinion was general, that his Lordship hail the most intimate knowledge of the intentions of the Parliamentary Commissioners: he, therefore, knew best in what direction the meeting should shape its course, if it was intended to propitiate that body : his Lordship, too, is well versed in Parliamentary tactics : and certainly no individual cau l- v' better qualified to lieail the Committee iu th< tir opposition to the project for leaving Shre wsbury and Oswestry out of the line of mail- road from London to Holyhead. But, making these admissions, and avowing, as I most sincerely do, the utmost respect for his Lordship, still, 1 tiiink, under the present circumstances of the country generally, and of the town of Shrewsbury in particular, there are some reflections arising out of a mature consideration of his Lordship's address, that demand the most serious attention. First, then, do the Parliamentary Commissioners actually possess such power in the Legislative body, that, although tlie country is unable to meet its engagements— the yearly revenue exhibiting a pro- gressive dectiue— they can, if they please, call for and receive a rum of £ 100,000 of public money, to be applied to an object in itself most inadequate for the purpose professed, and which would inflict a great injury without affording even the slightest counter- vailing good ? And if the inhabitants, not billy Of Shrewsbury and Oswestry, but of the County in general, legally and constitutionally assembled, ex- press their decided dislike to the proposed project, and avow their most determined opposition to it, have they, indeed, no hope or chance of succeeding in their opposition, hut by propitiating the Parlia- mentary Commissioners ? If this is the true state of tho case, then, indeed, are we become a powerless people : and well may it be said, that not Parliament, but the factions or party divisions of Parliament, govern the Kmpire. I doubt not that ray Lord CITve has most judiciously, from his Parliamentary experience, calculated the numbers that the Irish Commissioners can bring down to vote for their scheme : but are the inhabitants of Shrop- shire therefore to descend from the position of men boldly and honestly asserting their opinions, and fairly stating their case to the Legislature, to that of the abjcct supplicants of a body of Commissioners and their Surveyor, whose appointment is derived from the public, and some of whom dip pretty deeply into tlie public purse! I trow not. As a body chosen by ( he Legislature to carry into effect judi- cious improvements of the Holyhead Road, they are unquestionably entitled to respcct and consideration ; but if, in their dealing with the public, it- can be shown, as in the present case, that they are about to spend £ 100,000 of the public money in a scheme by which, without any equivalent, the interests of a large body of the community would be greatly injured, and the property of some persons actually destroyed, then I think remonstrance and uncompromising oppo- sition is the most fitting method of meeting the pro- ceedings of those gentlemen. If it is to be said that their Parliamentary influence will beat down any opposition, and that, as in dealing with a personage whose name might nut sound pleasant to delicate ears, we must play our cards as well as we can, so must we do with them, for they have the game in their own hands, what must be tbe state of the Legis- lature? 1 shall not fill up the answer; but I shall merely observe, if this is really the case, it will soon be any thing rather than the repository of public confidence: and as it derives its formation from, the community, let its members look well to themselves; for assuredly tbe day cannot be far distant when that community, finding its voice and its interests alike disregarded, will put an end to this system of Parlia- mentary coterics, by changing the character of its Representation. The other part of his Lordship's address on which 1 intend to offer some remarks, is that which has a more particular bearing on the improvement of,. and road'through, Shrewsbury ; but as, in discus « iirg this portion ot the subject, 1 may be induced t. 0 extend my remarks to a length which would carry this letter beyond the space usually occupied in your Journal by such fugitive compositions, 1 shall, with your permission, trespass on your columns next week; until which period I remain, Sir, Your's, & c.

HANMER, Clerk to the Trustees of the said Turnpike Roads STANTON, JAN. 16, 1830. The contents of the will of the late Sir John Pakington, Baronet, of Westwood Park, in this county, have, we understand, partially transpired. We are told, that the bulk of the large landed estates left by the deceased, including the uoble and exteo- sive demesne of West wood Park, is so disposed of, that the. enjoyment thereof fails to the lot of no oce individual of the present generation, either in fee, for lite;, or in reversion, hut that it is l> equcatUed, with the accumulation of t. ke revenues it may yield in the interval, to the eldest sow thM. may be born of the S* KI ( an infant now about four years of age only ) of James Somerset Russell, Esq of Powick Court, near tbis cit y, nephew of the deceased l> aronet; in default thereof, to the descendant of one of the younger branches of ' the second family of Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, and in the event of a second default, the property is ordered to devolve to the family of Knight, of Lea Castle. We have no authority tor this statement beyond the rumour of the day: from the quarter, however, in which such rumour arose, as represented to its, we have reason for believing that if not accurate in every particular, it will be found substantially, correct.— Worcester Herald. The landed interests, to use a vulgar but. well- underetdod expression, are rapidiv "- going to the wail."— Abatements of rent— which are only the composifiovs with their landlords of an insolvent, tenantry- rr- prevail all over the kingdom : pauperism spreads among the working classes its demoralizing influenpfji a. nd threatens to reduce the great mass of the population to Uie lowest condition of misery and debasement. The " leading journal" in alluding to this state of things some time ago, expressed a wish to see f he'instances of abatement of rent more numerous; that wish is likely to be realized to satiety. Our Contemporary is anxious to see the reuts reduced to the'state in which they were before the war. We have no objection to this, provided the principle be carried into general operation. Let the debt be reduced to what it was before the war— let the tax. es be reduced to what they were before the war— arid there will be something like equity in the proceeding. There is another point which v/ e would press upon the notice of our contemporary when insisting upon patriotic abatement of: the renN. Let the ministers' larics, and those of all the great public functionaries be reduced in proportion to the change which Mr. Peel's Currency Bill made in the value of money, and the equity of the principle of reduction will be still m:< re apparent. The taxes and salaries of govern- ment are nominally about the same as they were in the war- time, but in reality much greater, because the contraction of the currency has enhanced the value of money, and that in a ratio equivalent to the add- sorite thousands a year to the salary of every member of his Majesty's government. The landed proprietors of England will have to thank them- selves for their own ruin if they allow the ministry to go on as they have been for a long time doing with- out determined constitutional resistance and energetic remonstrance. They must rally round what yet remains of their property, and demand a change of measures with uncompromising firmness, or most surely the wish of the Times will be accomplished by the destruction of their hereditary establishments. Morning ( ferald. BANK FAILURE.— On Saturday morning, the 9th inst. the inhabitants of Stafford were thrown into great consternation by the stoppage of payments at the Banking- house of " Birch and Yates." The funeral of one of the partners, Mr. Birch, of Fradswell Hall, took place on the preceding day. Business was transacted at the bank up to the usual hour on that day, but the doors were not again opened, ft is sup- posed, that, on the affairs of Mr. Birch being disclosed, the remaining. partner, Mr. Yates, saw the absolute necessity of suspending payments: we lament to say that many tradesmen are sufferers to a considerable extent; and in a few cases, industrious persons who had placed their " little all" in the bank for safety, have been painfully convinced of the insecurity of human calculations. At present but little is known of the real state of the affairs of lite Bank, although the rumours on the subject are endless. A con- temporary, we observe, attributes the disaster to the connection of the house with persons engaged in mining speculations, and expresses a belief that the creditors will not ultimately be sufferers. The cause thus alleged for the failure of the bauk has no foundation in truth; we sincerely hope the accom- panying anticipation may prove to have been formed upon more accurate data. A commission of bank ruptcy, we observe, has been issued against Mr. Yates .— Stafford Paper. We regret to state that a great number of the miners of Tipton, Bilston, and the neighbourhood, who have " turned out" on account of the lowness of wages, or of the late resolutions of the iron- masters to " blow out" a certain number of furnaces, or because of the " truck" system, or from these causes com bined, are thoughtlessly engaging iu disorderly act; by endeavouring to compel others to desist from work, and by other unlawful aud turbulent deeds At present, the disturbances have not been very- serious nor extensive, and, we trust, these misguided men will be speedily led to see the folly of such behaviour. We lament to state that, on Friday night last, fifty- nine houses were destroyed by fire at Sheemess. We understand the conflagration broke out about eleven o'clock, at the house of Mr. Monk, a grocer, in King- street. The greatest exertions were made by the officers and men of the various government establish- ments, as well as by the inhabitants, but the progress of the flames was not arrested until five o'clock on Saturday morning. Property to the amount of £* 2@, b00 was destroyed, but we are happy to state no lives were lost.— Maidstone Gazette. The accounts received from Coventry represent the state of the artizans and other labourers in that city as most deplorable. The poor- rates and the number of paupers are fearfully on the increase, and it is the decided opinion of all parties, that, unless something is done to avert the progress of distress, the in- habitants of this once opulent city will be involved in one common ruin. The directors of the poor have thought proper to memorialise the Privy Council on this state of things. Amongst other remarks, they observe that " thecasual out- poor of Coventry, in the month of December, 1827, amounted to 280 families, which number of families is now augmented to 1,312. In the month of January, 1828, the number of indi- viduals in the House of Industry was 183; in the month of January, 1830, it amounted to 456. From Lady- day, 1827, to Lady- day, 1828, the assessments to the poor in the parish of St. Michael amounted to 7s. 8d. in the pound; at present the rates are in the pro- portion of 20s. in the pound. The weekly payments to the casual poor, in the month of December, 1827, were £ 41. Is. ; the weekly payments to the same class, in the month of December, 1S29, were £ 244. 5S. 6d.; and it is with the greatest circumspection and economy in the appropriation of the resources that your memorialists are enabled to afford a morsel of bread to the most wretched of the applicants for parochial aid." From this statement it appears that the payments to the casual out- door paupers are now nearly six times greater than they were in 1827 ! Can th is state of things last? Nor is the distress confined to the operatives or working people ; persons in respectable ranks of life, who themselves have been in the habit of contributing to the poor, not only find themselves unable to continue such contributions, but are, in many mstances, actually obliged to apply for relief themselves. The Coventry Observer of Friday says—" To show the lamentable distress now pre- valent, in Coventry, we need only mention that on Tuesday last, about 250 individuals who were foenserly regular and respectable rvte- payers, ap- peared before the board of directors, at the House of Industry, and there positively declared their utter inability to pay the rates now due from them, and that if coercive measures arc had recourse to, to enforce payment, the dernier resort will lie, they must apply for relief themselves." But the distress is not confined to Coventry; it is quite as great in other manufacturing towns. We may mention Macclesfield, Huddersfieid, Shepfon Mallett, Stroud, and all the manufacturing districts of Somerset and Gloucestershire. it is understood that S'r James Burrough resigned bis seat in the Common Picas on the 5th instant. Sir R. Birnie's pocket was pickcd on Thursday, in Bow- street office, of his purse containing eight sove- reigns. EXECUTION. — On Monday morniti!:, St nine o'clock Wm.

A poor negro woman came to the Lambeth- street police office, last week, to apply for parochial relief, arul fell down insensible, from complete exhaustion. She was, however, restored by application of some warm brandy and water, aud she said she had not tasted any food for two days previous. Soon after- wards, an old Irish woman suddenly dropped, and stretched herself at full length on the floor of the office. She calculated, no doubt, ou getting some brandy anil water; but some of the bystauders per- ceiving the drift of the old dame, recommended the application of a bucket of water without the brandy. The announcement had a most electric effect: she was on her legs in a trice. POLITICAL TURNCOATS.— At a view of the Ex- hibition of the Royal Academy, his Majesty George III. approached a portrait of a gentleman who had recently come over from the opposition side of the House of Commons, ami accepted a lucrative ap- pointment. " Who is that?" he inquired of his attendant: bis name was mentioned. " Ah ( rejoined the King), that is who has changed his N MONTGOM E RYSIIl R E. TOIsI. S TO BE JLET.

Parkin, Cherry- gardens, • Bermondscy.— The wife of the prosecutor w- as called to prove the case, but her evidence failed to produce any effect on the jury. The accused solemnly denied the charge, and said that the witness had been mistaken.— A number of witnesses were called, who spoke in the highest terms of his honourable character.— The jury, without waiting for the chairman to sum up, returned a verdict of not guilty.— In former years Jonas had been in very affluent circumstanccs, and resided in Hamburgh, lit 1808 he was the contractor to supply Bonaparte's army with cattle and clothing. In this he sunk an immense sum of money, for the contract was not one tenth part liquidated. He then entered into a trading speculation to the Greek islands, and lost, by the destruction of one ship alone, upwards of £ 60,000 sterling. Being attached to the government of Bonaparte, lie then entered his army, and fought at the battle of Waterloo, where he was wounded. As the glorious victory of that day terminated the career of Napoleon, it was also the utter ruin of his adherent; who had embarked the remnant of his fortune to uphold the cause of him at whose presence, when in the zenith of his triumphant sway, nations trembled, and kings were humbled to the ground. Since that eventful period Jonas lias undergone various vicissitudes of fortune, and is now reduced to gain a livelihood by following the occupation of a wandering hawker. principles; 1 bate a man who can change his princi- ples.

THE LATE SIR. THOMAS LAWRENCE.— Several rroueous statements having appeared relative to the family of this distinguished artist, the Morning Chronicle observes on authority—" Sir Thomas had ttvo brothers and two sisters ; his elder brother, the Rev. Audrew Lawrence, was Chaplain of Hasiar Hospital, and has been dead some years. tfis brother William was a Major in the army, and has also been dead some years. His elder sister, Lucy, marrried in March, 1800, to Mr. Meredith, solicitor, of Birmingham ; she died in February, 1813, leaving one daughter, married to Mr. John Aston, of St. Paul's- square, in Birmingham. His youngest sister, Aone, married the Rev. Dr. Bloxam, of Rugby, who has six sons and three daughters living. The Funeral of the late Sir Thomas Lawrence is to be public, and on the same scale as that of Sir Joshua Reynolds. The body is to lay in state at Somerset House on Tuesday or Wednesday, and the interment is to take place at St. Paul's Cathedral on Thursday. The arrangements embrace the relatives of the de- ceased, the academicians, the students of the academy, and noble and distinguished persons to close the line. His Majesty's private carriage, it is stated, will head the funeral train. The site selected for the deceased President's last resting- place is in the vault beneath the south aisle, in the immediate vicinity of the grave of Sir Christopher Wren, and only divided by the late President West's from that of Sir Joshua Reynolds. MINING COMPANY OF IRELAND.— The half- yearly assembly of this company was held on Friday last, when a very satisfactory report was presented to the meeting by the directors. The stations of the company are Tallynaha colliery, county Roscommon; Mardyke colliery, county Tipperary; Glangoole colliery, county Tipperary; Bullygavailan colliery, county Tipperary ; Knockmahon copper mines, county Waterford, Audley copper mines, county Cork : Kildrum lead mines, county Donegal ; Glandclough lead mines, county YVicklow; Bally- corus lead works, county Dublin: Killaloc slate quarries, county of Tipperary; Glenpatrick slate quarry, county Waterford. The result of the work- ings at those several concerns in the half year, is a profit of £ 4,538 8s. 3d. which, added to the previous accumulations, makes the present capital £ 114,724. Is. 7d. of which £ 74,412. 7s. lid. stands vested in mines, machinery and improvements, and £ 40,311. 13s. 8d. iu cash, bills, debts, mineral produce, and mine materials. The concluding paragraph of the report says—" The board cannot conclude without offering their congratulations on the prosperous state of the company's various concerns, all of which are now in a condition to insure continued employment to upwards of two thousand workmen, whose families may be estimated at teu thousand persons, amongst whom the company's expenditure in labour amounts to nearly one thousand pounds per week-, and whilst low prices, particularly of lead, have lessened the value of the produce obtained from those extensive works, and which already amounts to £ 109, MO. 4s. lOd. it is a consolatory fact that even the present rates afford a remunerating return for the capital embarked, and that the prospects at present are more favourable than they have ever been since the company's formation." Michael Byrne, Thomas Mellon, and William Clinton, were tried at Dublin on Wednesday, for the murder of Hanton, the sawyer, in September last; and the two former were found guilty, and the third was acquitted. The unhappy men met their fate on Friday with great firmness. On Saturday eight others charged as accessary to the murder were put to the bar, and three of them were put on their trial, named Jaehson, Roberts, and Dou ling. Nearly the same evidence was produced as in the former cases, but after half an hour's deliberation, the Jury brought in a verdict acquitting all the prisoners. WORCESTERSHIRE SESSIONS.— The appeals oc- cupied the Court the whole of Tuesday. The two following were of some importance :— Brcttell arid Huffurd, jun. v. the Parish of Oldin inford. This was an appeal against a poor rate levied on a pit or mine of glasVhouse <!\ y, worked by the appellants. Mr. Shutt and Mr. M « Mahon appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Godson and Mr. Whilcornbe for the respondent parish. it was contended that all mines ( except coal mines, whicli are specifically mentioned iu the act of 43d of Elizabeth) are exempt from payment of poor- rates ; and the question for the Court was, whether these clay mines, which were worked in the same menner as coal mines, were within the meaning of the term mine, and entitled to the exemption. After a hearing nf several hours, the Court confirmed the rate, subject to a case for the Court of King's Bench Mr. George Ellios, nail- master, of Bromsgrove, appealed against a conviction in a penalty of £ 10 for paying one of his workmen's wages in goods. Th • conviction took place on the 2il of November, before the Hon. and Rev. Lord Aston and the Rev. VV. Vernon. To prove the offence, Thomas Fades stated, that on the 17th of October, when 7s. 81. was due to him for wages, he asked Mr. Ellios to let him have some money ; the reply was, that he could have no money, but Mr. Ellins gave him a ticket for 7s on account, which sum was to be had in goods nt a shoir ( commonly called a Tommy Shopj kept by Mr. Ellins, and adjoining his warehouse. To this shop Eadcs went, and bought half a bushel of flour for 5 3d. a pound of bacon, 10d. and a pound of sugar, s.• Upon these facts the conviction took place.— Ou the 7th of November, ( five days after the conviction) Mr. Ellins settled with Eades for his work from the 17th of October inclusive, ; « ying him the whole of his wages without deducting the 7s. for the goods which he had had ; tlierc was a further debt of £ 3 due from him for goods had from the shop. F- ades was tin. willing to take the whole of the money without allowing for the 7s. already paid, but he stated that it. was forced Ujx> 1) him by Mr. Ellins. On the part of. Mr. Ellins, witnesses were called whose testimony was intended to shew that Fades could not have received a ticket for the 7s. on account, of wages, but merely for goods which he wanted from the shop. Mr. Shutt, on behalf of Mr. Ellips, appeared chiefly to rely upon a point of law, arguing that as Eades had received 7s. only on account, and as the whole wages were not paid until the 7th of November, the magistrates could not convict on the 2d, because at that, time the offence, if any were committed, had, not been perfected. In support of the conviction, Mr. Godson argued that the payment which had been made by Mr. Ellins to Eades on the 7th of November, was merely to induce a belief that the goods had on the 17th of October were not had on account ' of wages. The Court, without hesitation, confirmed the conviction, with costs.— There was an appeal against another penalty in which Mr. Ellins had been con- victed, but Mr. Shutt declined to bring it forward, and that conviction was alfO confirmed. NAVAL ANECDOTES. Messrs. Richard and John Lander, the young men who are engaged by the government to ex- plore the course of the long- sought Niger, aud trace that river to its termination, have arrived at Portsmouth to embark on board the Alert merchant brig, for the western coast of Africa. Mr. Richard Lander, who, it will be recollected, is the only survivor of all the missions of discovery of late years into Africa, and whoso conduct under the lamented Captain Clapperton has elicitcd such general and deserved applause, is about twenty- five years of age, and although rather below than above the middle stature, is strongly formed, and looks as healthy and vigorous as if he had novel- quitted his native shores. Mr. Lander's brother, who is to be his sole companion in this difficult undertaking, is three years younger than himself; he is rather taller than bis elder brother, but possesses a similar robust frame and sound consti- tution. Both young men, we hear, have great resolution, and are animated but by one principle — to endeavour to accomplish their arduous task orpetishin the attempt.— Hampshire Telegraph. Lieutenant Marshall's " Royal Navy Biography" is replete with interest and value, especially to those who are connected with the navy. We have already availed ourselves of a small portion of ils contents, and now publish a few tnore extracts.— Of Rear- Admiral Penrose the following is a fact deserving notice;— It is worthy of remark that no line- of- battle ship had ever ventured to enler the Giroude, with all her guns and stores on board, before Rear- Admiral Penrose resolved to make the experiment ; which he did under every disadvantage, as there wits not a single person in the squadron acquainted with the dangerous navigation of the river, atid the weather was at first very thick and threatening, though the sky became clear after the ships had got fairly into the stream. Standing on the fore- part of the Egmont's poop, with the chart spread before him aud the master by his side, he con- ducted the pilotage himself, to the astonishment of a Frenchman who had had charge of the F. gmont when she was employed in the blockadc of Roche fort, but who was wholly unacquainted with the Gironde. The most useful aid he received was from the enemy,, when they attempted to check his progress ; for as the first shot fired from Point Coul. re went over him, it shewed that he was within the Mauvaise bauk, and consequently clear of the greatest danger. This information Rear- Adiniral Penrose acknowledged by a thankful bow to the battery. The annexed ruse de guerre of F. Jennings Thomas displayed a degree of coolness and self- conunaud which shewed him worthy of the trust so early reposed in him. When a young middy," his captain bad marked the high opinion he- entertained of his ability and steadiness, by givmg him the charge of a valuable prize, with orders to conduct her to Bermuda. After parting company with the Boston, being in the cabin, he overheard the pri- soners, who were doubly superior in number lo his own people, deliberating upon a proposal made by one or two of them to seize upon the ship, and murder all the Englishmen on board. With great presence of mind, Mr. Thomas immediately called out—' The ship has sprung a leak ! - the ship ia sinking!' The captain and his crew thereupon precipitated themselves down the scuttle, which was the only passage into the cabin; when, taking advantage of the confusion he bad created, the youngster jumped upon the qnarter- deck, put Ihe hatch over, called bis men aft, aud fired a six- pounder, loaded with grape, through the skylight! A general panic instantly prevailed below, and the prize, thus timely saved from re- capture, was carried safely into a British port." We copy a pleasing instance of the kindness aud condescension by which George the Third endeared himself to all ranks of his subjects : — On the itth Sept. 1799, Captain Durham and hia lady gave a grand naval fete on board the Auso,,, which was attended by their Majesties, and all ill. 1 Royal and Noble personages then sojourniu? nt Weymouth, lu the midst of the entertainment a courier came alongside with dispatches for the.

Thor. ias kenjon, Chairman) j when the i- emiiimng prisoners were brought up for trial. Joseph fr'; sherr aged a->, an « J Joseph SmUk, aged 32, both navigators^ were Charged wilh stealing fi/ Ur handkerchiefs, the property nf Timothy Bulger, at Drayton- in Utiles.— The prosecutor is a hawker, and • it tiie 14th of November last he went into the Crown Inn, l ni\ ton, where the prisoners and other navi- gators were assembled to lie paid their wages. Fisher bargained for a handkerchief, w hich he procured front the prosecutor, but for which the hitter endeavoured in rain to obtain payment. At length the prosecutor w ent to srtk the aii; of a constable, to procure either his handkerchief or payment for it: he then missed four other handkerchiefs in one piece, but could not t,- ll who had Inken it.- Charles Shepherd was at the Crown Inn on the day above- mentioned, and he deposed that he SUM Fisher draw a piece of knndker- rhiefs from Ihe prosecutor's pack wilh a book, and tint . Smith took the handkerchiefs so drawn out, and piii them into his pocket.— The Jury found the pri- soners guilty, antl they were sentenced to be im- prisoned 3 months to hard labour. Scroll Child, aged ] C, for stealing a silk handker- chief, and Oilier articles of wearing apparel, from the lino e of her master, Mr. John Law ley, of Neen Savage, was sentenced to be imprisoned three months to hard labour. Sums e! Morgan, for stealing a smock frock, at llarj- sford, the properly of Samuel Cheatham, of The Heath, was sentenced to be imprisoned six weeks to hard labour.—[ i'lie prisoner had made a Confession of. his guilt, in which be said " the Devil had forced inn to commit the offence!"] • Ann Evans, aged 2( 1, for stealing, at Trepennal, ih the parish of Llanymynech, two gowns, and other articles, that had been put out to dry, belonging to Mrs. Mary Jones, and others, was, on account of her having been already in prison nearly three months, sentenced to be imprisoned but 6 weeks longer.— There was another indictment against the prisoner, and a true'bill had been found, but on this no evi denCe was offend. Samuel Jones, aged TO, was indicted for having stolen teh sovereigns and five shillings and sixpence, the properly of Thonms Lewis, at Berrington.— On the case being gone into, it appeared that the sove reigns in question were not the property of Thomas Lewis, nor was there any evidence to prove iliat the' prisoner bad actually committed any robbery al all. — Mary Lew is, the w ile of Thomas Lewis, said she went out and locked her cottage door on lite liltli of December, at a quarter before one o'clock, and returned at half- past two, w hen she found the door fastened inside; she forced it open, and on entering the house discovered that a box left in her charge by John Jones, the prisoner's brother, had been broken open: she had never seen the contents of this box, hut she said she had been informed it contained ten sovereigns, the properly of the prisoner's father; and in consequence of further information given, witness and her husband came to Shrewsbury, where they found the prisoner quite drunk, in Mardol, in the open street, about nine o'clock at night, and he gave them 9 sovereigns and 19 shillings in silver, hut made no confession of the alleged robbery : w itness said the prisoner's father had gone out of the way ( lo avoid giving evidence).— As, under these circumstances, there was not evidence sufficient lo convict the pri- soner, he was of course acquitted ; but, being an old offender, he received a caution from the Bench not < > make his appearance at the bar on any future occasion. This terminated the business of the County Sessions. tiatity of the gentlemen that would sit as jurors on Ih Occasion, but, from circumslances arising out of the locality of the case, he was induced to crave that he might be transferred to the Assizes for trial. — Mr. Bather,' for the prosecution, said, there was a circumstance connected with the case, that might lr re induced him to have made a similar application, namely, that a material witness for the prosecution, the Keeper of Stafford Gaol, had not yet arrived : if he did not come during the silling of the Court— and bis official duties might prevent him coming— then he ( Mr. Bather) should of course consent, to Mr. Lox- dale's motion, in order to further the ends of public justice: otherwise he was prepared to contend that Mr. I. oxdnle's motion was new1 in principle and con- trary tothe spirit of the constitution : for the principle of our constitutional law in such cases was, that every person charged wilh a criminal offence should be tried by a jury of the vicinage in which the Offence w& s alleged to have beelt committed : and if it were not. so, why was the present Court assembled : if they were, on a plea of circumstances arising out of the locality of cases, to transfer the trials of them to another tribunal, Ihey might as well shut, up the Hall doors, and declare their incompetency, though he, from his practice in that Court, could, ( and indeed the fact, had been admitted on behalf of the prisoner himself,) bear testimony to the ability and integrity of the Judges and Jurymen by and before whom its criminal jurisprudence was administered — Mr. Lox- dale said, his motion was neither new in principle nor ( as far as he was aware) was it. unconstitutional: it was in fact a principle that had been acted upon in that very Court in the case of the persons ( Plimmcr and ' Jbmmty ) with whom the prisoner on whose behalf he now appeared was alleged to have been an accomplice.— Mr. Bather observed, that with regard to Plimmcr ihere was an acknowledged ground for the transfer of his trial from the Town Sessions to the Assizes ; for he hoped it was no libel to say, that so notorious was the name, that it would be impossible to find a Jury in Shrewsbury that was not in some degree prejudiced against the name of Plimmer.— [ Eventually, the case of Sykes was directed to stand over until the Assizes by consent, as the Gaoler of Stafford did not arrive during the sitting of the Court ] John Chrlmiel", Ji'ilHaa Jones, and Angel Thomas Grosreror alias Thomas Ch el wood, were committed for trial at this Sessions, on a charge of having un- lawfully enfered into certain lands of Mrs. Lissey Ann Powy ® , in the Liberties of Shrewsbury, in the night- time, for the purpose of destroying game; but the Learned Recorder said, tin looking at the Act of Parliament, although it directed that the trials of prisoners On chargesof this nature should take place at a Gaol Delivery, and although the Court in which he then ofiiciated judicially was a Court of Gaol Delivery; yet, taking into consideration the whole Art of Parliament, it appeared to him that tire intent and meaning of it was to have ail prisoners of this description tried, not. before the provincial juris- dictions, but before a judge of Assize on Circuit: he bail, tbetefore, in the exercise ( if his judgment, advised the Mayornot to try these prisoners, but that the recognizances of the prosecutors, & c. should he respited until the Assizes, and the prisoners of course would remain iu custody until that time.— The trial was therefore postponed until the Assizes. James Weer, an Irish hawker, aged o), was found guilty of violently assaulting John iviridium, constable of Castle Foregate, when in the due execution of his office, on Sunday evening, the 27lh of December.— It appeared that some difference had taken place between the prisoner and his wife on the evening in question, and several neighbours having interfered in the matter, a row took place, and many persons assembled round the prisoner's door, whom be attacked and struck with a long pole from the chamber window ; on being deprived of this weapon, be availed himself of thiwer- pots, bottles, and such other missiles as were within his reach, and when the constable came, and showed him his authority, he repeatedly assaulted him, as be also did after be was inciistody.— lie was, by way of example, sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for six months, and then to give security for bis future good behaviour. Thomas James, ageil 24, pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him wilh having unlawfully obtained, from Messrs Joseph Smith anil Son, certain quantities of laths, value £ 2. 6s. by false pretences.— He also pleaded guilty to another indictment, charg- ing him with having unlawfully, by false pretences, obtained, from George Chime, 2000 laths, of tiie value of £ 3. 6s. Sd.— The prisoner had been already convicted at the Assizes, before Judge Park, of a similar offence, for which he had suffered an impri- sonment of nine months to hard labour. He was, therefore, now sentenced to be transported for seven years. William Pvijh, aged 66, pleaded guilty to two indictments, charging him with having unlawfully received Ihe laths Unlawfully obtained by Thomas lames, as dbove- mentiohed, well knowing them to have been unlawfully obtained; and he was sentenced to be imprisoned two years, viz. one year for each Offence. Thomas Smith, aged 42, pleaded gliilty to an indictment, charging him with having stolen a coat, value tive shillings, ihe property of Robert Davies, and was sentenced to he imprisoned six weeks to hard labour. Richard Lavnford, aged 19, a well- known dis- orderly character, was found guilty of having assaulted Thomas Roberts, the constable of Frank- well, when in the due execution of his office as con stable ; and his conduct having been most outrageous before and since bis committal to prison, be was sen- tenced to he imprisoned in the House of Correction to hard labour for two years. Several other disorderlies of a minor stamp were disposed of by being remanded into custody until they found sureties— or by being discharged on re- cognizance— on paying the fees of Court, & c.; and the Sessions were adjourned. western Galieians. There is reason to suspect that Strabo, whose nationality is apparent, was disposed to tinier- rale the value of Latin writers; liovv could be otherwise have described Britain as not worth the conquest, and Ireland as a barren coun- try, wrapped in eternal snows, and inhabited by Anthropophagi " When Julius Ctesar first visited Britain, he found the maritime provinces possessed by a people of Germanic race, whom be supposed, and, perhaps, not without reason, to be Belgians. The population was remarkably dense, the dwellings of the people were strewed thickly over the country, and cattle were abundant. Merchants in numbers visited the island; but so great in those rlnvs was insular jealousy in Britain, that strangers durst not venture thither who had not evidently the excuse of traffic. The Gauls, it appears, bad hut little acquaintance with Ihe island ; whence it may be concluded, that Ihe merchants were chiefly of the Belgian or German race. To the inaccuracy of reports, in the dictation of which the superstition of the Gauls may have had some share, ought, perhaps, lo he attributed the error of Csesar iu describing Great Britain as an island of a triangular form. Tacitus remarked the close resemblance that existed be- tween the dialect of the F. slinnes on the shore of the Baltic and the British islanders. The Cale. doniatis were also known to be of German descent by their great size, their florid complexions, and keen grey eyes. The same vigilant observer remarked, that the inhabitants of the south- western angle of the island ( the Si- lures) had dark, adust visages, with curled air; but, instead of con- cluding that the emigration of a stronger race from the east had forced the prior inhabitants of the island into the recesses of its western mountains, he adopted the weak hypothesis, so often repeated since by mortem writers upon Ireland, of a colony direct front Spain. s " From Tacitus also we learn that merchants frequented the ports of Ireland, the superiority of which was already known But w ith whom did the merchants carry on a trade? Was the Celtic population sufficiently civilized to feel the wants and benefits of commerce? This is hardly credible; but, when the historian proceeds 1o observe that Hibernia differs but little from Britain in soil or population, the inference is natural, thai long before iiis time a co'ony of the German race had also forced its way into that island. There te'not, how- ever, any direct evidence lo support Ibis conjecture besides that of Ihe native historians. Ptolemy, it is true, about half a century later, places a Belgian colony ( the Hen apt i) in Ireland ; but the state inent of the geographer affords no means of ascer- taining the dale of their arrival. Thus much, how- ever, niay be affirmed with safety, lhat, so far back as authentic history lends its light, the Germanic race has predominated in the British islands." DARING AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY THE ROYAL MINT. AT Oil Saturday, a robbery to some amount was discovered to have been committed at the Royal Mint. It appears that a man, named Keith, who has worked for many years in the Mint, had given out to him above two thousand pieces of gold blanks, which were intended to be stamped for sovereigns. Instead, however, of taking the gold to the stampers'department, Keith went out of the premises with it, and was enabled to make his escape. He w'as not long afterwards missed, and inquiries were made for him, when his flight was discovered. Immediate steps were resorted to to apprehend the offender., and great secrecy was observed as lo the robbery, in order that the officers might the better be able to trace the fugitive. Information was forwarded to Ihe master of the mint of the cir- cumstance, and officers sent to the outskirts of Ihe town, to apprehend the offender should he attempt to leave London by any of the coaches. The efforts of. th » police have as vet been unsuccessful, but it is fully believed that he wilt not escape wholly. It is a matter of surprise how Keith was enabled lo make his escape with the gold, as it was of some weight, and strict orders are always given not to let workmen pass out » f the Mint without their undergoing a search. There is no doubt but that the whole of the gold is by this lime melted down, and thus its identity rendered difficult of proof. Government have offered a reward of £ 500 for the apprehension of Keith, who was heretofore considered a very honest man. One hundred pounds are to be paid on his apprehension, £ 1(! 0 upon his conviction, and the sum of £ 300 upon recovery of the property, or in proportion for any part of the « < ame. The principal officers of the Mint were in attend- ance mi Monday, in order that should Keith be apprehended, and confession made where the gold was lodged, steps might be taken to get possession of it. The circumstance has caused much bustle at the Mint. GIPSY WIT.— A short time since, two young ladies ' near Camberwell, were accosted by a gipsy woman, who told them that, for a shilling each, she would shew them their husband's faces in a pail of wafer; which being brought, they exclaimed, « why we only see our own faces!"—" Well, said the old woman, those faces will be your husband's when you are married."

It is remarkable, however, thai Ireland is never mentioned under a native name; the relative designation hr- nye, or Western Isle, was evidently taken from the Celts of Gaul or lit itain " " Pijtheas of Marseilles was a man eminently qualified, by liis courage and scientific acquire- incuts, to open new routes of commerce across unknown seas, and promote the interests of . eonraphy.

They appear to have prevailed in ( bina and India, from remote antiquity. From India they extended tothe African side of the Red Sea, about the middle of the sixth century, and gradually spread over Asia Minor and the coast of Africa, along the Mediterranean Sea. In the seventh or eighth century, fhey were introduced into Europe, by theiSaracens; but the disease is said not to have reached England till the end of the ninth century. All the early writers, Asiatic, Arabesque, or European, concur in establishing the dire malignancy of the disease ; and it was early known, and acknowledged, that the same person plight have the small- pox twice, or even thrice. The deaths in natural small- pox have very generally, even of late years, under an improved system of medical treatment, been one in four, and so late as 1825, of the cases of natural small- pox admitted into the Small- pox Hospital in London, forty- one per cent. terminated fatally ! The second era in the history of small- pox com- tnenccs by the introduction of inoculation in 1721- 2, which practice, under favourable circumstances, re- duced the mortality1 to one in about three or four hundred. To individuals, this was greatly diminish- ing the chance of death ; yet the mortality- of Great Britain increased considerably after the introduction of inoculation, so that the community derived no advantage from its discovery, which was Asiatic. Previous to the introduction of inoculation, a great many persons passed through life without ever having small- pox. After its introduction, a continual focus of contagion was kept up; and as the prejudices of [ FURTHER PARTICULARS } Keith was occasionally employed at the Mint for the last twenty years, hut had not been at work for a fortnight preceding Ihe day before the robbery. A few minutes past seven 011 Saturday morning, a man named Taylor, whose duty it was to convey the blank sovereigns into the planching- room, was called, but not being in the way, it became the duty of Keilii so to do. The blanks are carried in bags, each b i. r called a journey, containing 701 blanks, and weighing fifteen pounds. These journeys are placed upon a tray, and in the present instance eiuhl journeys were put up 011 the tray delivered to Keith. He entered the planching- room with the tray, aud saw an old man named Arthur, whose duty it w as to anneal the blanks. He asked Arthur if he were ready for liitn, but Arthur replied his furnace was out, and bis shovel had been taken upstairs, therefore he desired him to take them into his own room for greater security, until he was ready. Keith did so; and as soon as Arthur had his furnace lighted, he went into Keith's room, which he found nearly dark— one of th » gas burners entirely out, and the oilier merely glimmering. He groped about for the tray, which he at length found, and feeling four journeys placed in the centre, con- sidered all w as right ( not being aware of the num- ber originally placed there) took them out, and proceeded lo work them. The process they un- dergo in this department is as follows:— They are first annealed, i. e. brought to red heat, and then immersed iu a certain liquid, by which they are cleansed from all impurities, and acquire lhat bright colour they present on being first issued for circula lion. This it} preparatory to their being stamped. Arthur was proceeding with his work, and, as ap- pears lo be the custom in Ihe Mint, had chalked " four journeys" on the wall, when about eleven o'clock the person who had given the tray to Keith ill the morning entered the planching- room, and seeing only four journeys marked down, told Arthur be bad made a mistake. Arthur ( who is a native of Scotland) asserted the correctness of his account, and in consequence Keith was looked for, but no account could be got of him. The only information since received was lhat of a porter belonging to Ihe Mint, who met Keith exactly at a quarter past seven in Ihe morning passing through one of the doors leading to ihe rear quadrangle of Ihe building, and spoke to him, but received no answer. He observed lieitli stoop as if he were carrying something heavy, bul supposing him to be going to breakfast he took 110 further notice. lie was afterwards seen by one of the workmen, making his Way apparently in great haste across ' lower- hill. ' Keith has a family ol seven children, and from what has been learned since bis disappearance, is a native of a place called Faleouborough, in the north of Scotland. The weight of the blanks ( 2804) which lie carried off was just sixty pounds. Bills, containing a descrip- tion of him, have been sent to every postmaster and seaport iu the empire ; so that it is almost impossible that be can escape: indeed very little doubt is entertained but that lie is at present concealed iu Loudon, ll is thirty years since a robbery was committed in the Mint: the guineas carried off at that time were stamped, but the person concerned was arrested and executed. The government, we understand, has adopted the most likely method of ed'ecliug the apprehension of Keith, who is charged with stealing in the Mint gold blanks for coining sovereigns, of tiie value of £ 2000. Police- officers have been despatched to France and Holland, to Dublin aud Edinburgh, and also to the different sea. port towns in England, in pursuit of him. Not less than eight officers have been sent iu various directions from Bow- street- office, and his apprehension is considered almost a matter of certainty. the greater part of the community would not allow ' nit to inoculation, new victims, to receive them to submit the disease by contagion from those inoculated were numerous, hence the extensive propagation of the disease; and hence too, we account for the great increase of mortality which took place. Many cases of secondary small- pox occurred after inoculation ; and of those attacked, the deaths amounted to about one in thirty. Me now come to the third period of file chrono- logical history of small- pox, which commences with the introduction of Vaccination about thirty years ago. Dr. Jeuner made his invaluable discovery two years before, but it was not made public till 1798, that persons inoculated with matter taken from pustules found on the cow, were for ever after exempt from an attack of small- pox. So be announced the discovery ; and, in confirmation of his statement, he adduced as proof, that persons vaccinated, and . after- wards inoculated with small- pox matter or exposed to ils contagion, remained exempt from small, pox. The practice of vaccination then became nearly uni- versal in this country, and it was implicitly believed that all persons properly vaccinated obtained a com- plete immunity from an attack of small- pox. Suhse- euenl experience has, unfortunately, not verified this statement in its fullest extent; but the experience of thirty vears warrants the assertion, that the practice of vaccination is the greatest blessing ever conferred on the human race, through the medium of medical scieuce. f$ Us « Uaneott! j Intelligent.

EXPLOSION OF THE IPSWICH'GAS- WORKS.— On Tuesday morning, about six o'clock, an explosion of about 2000 cubic feet of gas took place at the gas- works, Ipswich, ( without doing any injury to the works. The foreman, however, was * - verely burnt in the face, and another man who was assisting iwas slightly hurt. The accident was occasioned by the increased pressure, with which the gasometers are worked at this season of the year, blowing some of the water from the out- let hydraulic valve. In the act of replacing this water a naked lamp was used, and the gas escaping ignited, although at a considerable distance frim the valve. Had one of the Davy safety lamps been used with which the works are supplied, Ihe accident would undoubtedly have been prevented.— Suffolk Herald. THE HOUSE- CHICKET.— The house- cricket( Aclieta domesticaj is well known for its habit of picking out the mortar of ovens and kitchen fire places, where it not only enjoys warmth, but can procure abundance of food. It is usually supposed that it feeds on bread. M. Latreilie says, it only eats insects, and it certainly thrives well in houses infested by the cock roach ; hut we have also known it eat and destroy lamb's- wool stockings and other woollen stuffs, hung near a fire to dry. It is evidently not fond of hard labour but prefers those places where the mortar is already loosened, or at least is new, soft, and easily scooped out; arid in this way it will dig covert ways from room lo uom. In summer, crickets often make excursions from the house to the neighbouring fields, and dwell in the crevices of rubbish, or the cracks made in the ground by dry weather, where they chirp as merrily as in Ihe snuggest chimney corner. Whether fhey ever dig retreats in such circumstances, we have not ascertained ; though it is not improbable they may do so for the purpose of making nests. M. Bory St. Vincent tells us that the Spaniards are so fond of crickets lhat they keep thein in cages like singing j birds.— Insect Architecture. I SPLEN DID SHOT.— On Tuesday last, the 5th curt. Captain Houston Stewart shot a brace of wild swans on the river Cree, and not far from his own resi- dence— Penningham House. He fired right and left, and disabled both birds almost at the same moment of time— a feat which, considering the size, strength, and rarity of the quary, is perhaps unpa- ralleled in the annals of sporting. The largest bird, a female, measured 4 feet 2 inches in length, 7 feet 2 inches in breadth, and weighed 121 | bs. The other, a young one, and darker in the plumage, measured 3 feet 10 inches in length, 6 feet 11 inches in breadth, and weighed id' lbs. A medical gentleman, skilled in, and fond of, the pursuits of natural history, who happened to he at Penningham House at the time, dissected the largest bird, and found the following account of the wild swan's windpipe, as given by Willoughby, and quoted by Bewick ( page 246, part II), perfectly correct in every particular. The windpipe of the wild swan, after a strange and wonderful manner, enters the breast bone, in a cavity prepared for it, and is therein reflected, and after its egress at the devarication. is contracted into a narrow Compass by abroad and bony cartilage ; then, being divided into two branches, goes on to the lungs; these branches, before they enter the lungs, are dilated, and, as it were, swollen into two cavities Hesham corroborates the above, and adds that the wild swan in this particular differs not only from fhe tame swan, but also from every other bird— Dumfries Courier. GREAT MECHANICAL DISCOVERY.— We have been favoured with the sight of an admirably exe- cuted model of an i( Atmospheric Pressure Engine," invented by an ingenious watch- maker of Worces- ter, whose extraordinary mechanical genius we have before had occasion to notice, ill Ihe descrip- tion of an artificial spider and tortoise, which moved whh an action in every way resembling that of natural life. Those specimens of his talents, how- ever, shrink into insignificance when compared with the miniature H Pressure Engine," which pro- mises lo be a discovery of the greatest national im- portance, and we sincerely hope it will meet with that degree of patronage which so useful an in- vention is entitled lo claim. Not being mechanists ourselves, it is impossible to describe the whole of ils machinery, but we are promised a particular and detailed account of the engine in a few weeks, which will doubtless prove highly interesting to our scientific readers. In Ihe mean time, some idea may be formed of the simplicity of the propelling power, when we state, that it is no other than rarefied atmospheric air; and when the engine is once in motion, it is self- acting, and can be worked either by an eccentric movement or by hand- gear. If applied on 1111 extensive scale, it wili be found to equal, if not surpass, the power of steam, and in all probability will, at no distant period, supersede ils necessity in many branches of our manufactures.— The miniature model which has been shown to us is considerably lighter than the weight of a sove- reign ; aud, although composed of nearly four hundred pieces, it is so perfect, that its powers are developed as clearly as if the machinery were upon the largest scale, while the whole may be put into a moderate sized snuff- box.— We understand it is the intention of the inventor to introduce his dis- covery to public notice early in the ensuing spring. — Cheltenham Chronicle.

THE WASP— The wasp is a paper- maker, and a most perfect and intelligent one. While mankind were arriving, by slow degrees, at the art of fabri- cating this valuable substance, the wasp was mak ng it before their eyes, by very much the- same process as that by which human hands now manufacture it with the best aid of ehyniistiy aud machinery. While some nations carved their re- cords 011 wood, and stone, and brass, and leaden tablets, others inoread vaneed wrote- wiih a style 011 wax, olhers employed the inner barks of trees, and others the skins of animals rudely prepared, Ihe wasp was manufacturing a firm and durable paper. Even when the papyrus was rendered more fil by a process of art, for the transmission of ideas in writing, the wasp was a better artisan than the Egyptians; for Ihe early attempts at paper- making were so rude that the substance produced was almost useless, from being exiremely friable. The paper of the papyrus was formed of Ihe leaves of the plant, dried, pressed, and polished; Ihe wasp alone knew how lo reduce vegetable fibres lo a pulp, and then unite them by a size or glue, spread ing the substance out into a stnoolh and delicate leaf. This is exactly the. process of papeiymuking. It would seem that the wasp knows, as the modern paper- makers now know, lhat the fibres of rags, whether linen or cotton, arc not the only materials that can be used in the formation of paper; she employs other vegetable matters, converting litem ie. toa proper consistency by her assiduous exertions. In some respects she is- more skilful even than our paper- makers, for she takes care lo retain her fibres of sufficient length, by which she. renders her paper as strong as she requires. Many manufacturers of the present day cut their materials into small bits, and thus ptoduoe a rotten article. One great dis- tinction between good and bad paper is ils tough- ness ; and this difference is invariably produced by the fibre of which it is, composed being long, and therefore tough; or short, and therefore friable. The wasp has been labouring at her manufacture of paper from her first creation, with precisely the same instruments aud the same materials; and her success has been unvarying. Her machinery is very simple, and, therefore, it is never out of order. She learns nothing, and she forgets nothiii".— Library ( if Entertaining Knowledge. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.— Died, 011 the 29th ult. in the isle of Tlluuet, where she had resided during her long life, Mrs. Yeomaus ( for- merly Miss Clunn), aged one hundred years, being the only female born in any branch of her family for a century. Mrs. Yeomaus was once married, and had one son only, who died without issue. Her only brother, Mr. Clunn, a farmer, at Birehiug. ton, near Margate, had also one son only, who sur- vived him and succeeded to his farm, where his widow now resides, by whom he had eight child- ren, all sons, seven of whom are now living, aud respectably situated as tradesmen, in. London. The eldest, Mr. John Clunn, Ihe grocer, of Gray's- inn- lane, after having been married ten years, and had four sons, has recently had an increase to his family of a daughter ( Ihe only female since Mrs. Yeomaus was born), which the old lady lived to hear of, and was, of course, most anxious to see, but she, died soon after she heard of the event. Mr. Clunu meant to have gratified her as soon as his wife was able to undertake the journey. Two of Mr, Clunu's brothers ( Mr. T.

A PAUPER'S INVENTORY.— On Monday week, an aged female, a native of Ireland, of the name of Biddy Green, who had long been a pauper upon the township of Southowram, near this town, paid the debt of nature. Her husband, who died some time ago, was a pensioner, who iu his younger days had seen some foreign service. Biddy lived in the house of a woman of the name of Speight, and had a bed belonging to herself, which she occupied exclusively. After having seen " Poor Onld Biddy" close her eyes in endless night, and before she was quietly iuurued, " earth to earth, ashes to ashes," Speight resolved to call ovjc the rolls, aud proceeded to examine the bed on which the deceased had so often reposed. Whether she had a shrewd irness that the search would amply repay the trouble we know not, but certainly the result proved lhat the experiment was worth making. Inside the bed was found property to a largo amount, of which the following is an inventory: — Twenty- two guineas of the reigns of George II. and III.; twenty- seven half guineas of ditto; one sovereign of the present reigu ; two pieces, of foreign gold coin; one gold watch; one silver ditto; one silver pint; one silver cream. jug; twelve silver tea- spoons; six silver table- spoons ; one ditto gravy- spoon ; and various articles of considerable value. This discovery of hidden treasure the woman Speight kept a secret for some days, wisely remembering that " the dead tell uo tales," and imagining that the whole, being upon her own premises, might be honestly appropriated. The secret, however, important as it was, came out piece- meal. To one friend she gave a knowing hint that fhe deceased was not " so poverty- stricken as some folks thought.'' To another she com- municated the fact that she herself was " richer than mony at held their he- ads heigh er? * Gossip, Willi her hundred tongues, magnified these indi- cations of wealth, and it Was bruited about that " Oulil Biddy had left behind a pasli o' money." At length Ihe overseer thonght it was bis duty lo inquire into these rumours, wisely judging that, if such was fhe case, the township, which bad sup- ported her, had the first claim. The consequence w'as, a discovery of the truth ; and the property enumerated above taken possession of by that important parish functionary, and by him handed over to the constable. Wc need scarcely add that the advances from the public purse, during " Ould Biddy's" life time, have been deducted from this hoarded store, and the overplus given to the daughters, of whom four arc living— oneut Loudon, one at Manchester, and two at Elland- hedge. Speight is left unrewarded for her discoveries; aud, it is added, regrets being so honest since she has been treated so scurvily.— Halifax Chronicle. THE NUREMBERG YOUTH.— As the mysteriou* history of the young Gaspard Hauser became, lo use a. uewspaper- phrasr, an European fact, it is our duty lo mention all that we know connected with it. According lo the inost recent version, this youth appears to be the son of Count d'Ario, a general who was in the Bavarian service, and who died on the field of honour. It would seem from it too, that- General Count Poppcnheiin, the husband of Count d'Ario's daughter, has played a very ex- traordinary part in this affair, and lhat Ihe child wus token away and replaced by another of the same age, who died on the . preceding evening, in order lo deprive him of the large properly of hi* father. We have collected some further curious particulars relative to this youth, who has just been relieved from an imprisonment, in which he had passed the whole of his life without ever having quilted il, or tasted any thing but bread and water. He is extremely mild and agreeable in his manners, and readily answers to any. questions that are put to him. He deelares- thal he was quite satisfied and happy iu his prison, and . never wished to leave it. Never having walked uny distance before, hi* journey to Nuremberg had . wounded his feet ter- ribly ; and Ihe day- light ( which he had never bc- forc. seeu) would iu all, probability have blinded him for ever,,| fit had, not. so happened. that the weather was oxtremely'tbick and dark. Even now, he can- not bear a strong light without great pain. The souml of music, at first, threw him into a state of convulsion; but, at present, lie receives great de- light from il, and has learned to play some tunes on Ihe piano. Fl| s. sense of smelling and of tasting were at the commencement of his recovering his freedom, iu a condition of extreme delicacy and ex- citability. The first time he tasted a hit of meat, it caused. a violent, perspiration to break out all over him; and, even now,, nothing is so acceptable lo him as the simple bread aud water on which he has fed all his life. He cauuot. touch meal- that is at all seasoned ; it makechim ill immediately. Hia sense of touch is. so extremely delicate, that he can distinguish different metals by it; and if anyone shakes hands with him, . it seems lo excile iu him a highly disagreeable sensation. He is extremely sensible lo the changes of heat aud cold iu Ihe temperature of the atmosphere ; and from his sensa- tions in this particular, it may be judged that the dungeon iu which lie w as confined was a subter- ranean one, where the temperature was always 111* same.— Coar< Journal. MAN IS A RELIGIOUS BEING— He cannot be satisfied respecting his moral destiny, or effectually assisted in the cultivation ot' his moral nature, by any thing short of revelation from heaven. Until lhat was vouchsafed, ** Ihe whole creation groaned and was in disorder." Wherever it is riot implicitly and affectionately received, society must be dis. turbed, morals must be impaired, and character must be perverted. It is out of the uatiiie of things, that man should continue satisfied wilh his pursuits or wilh himself, whilst he is at variance with his Creator. There is an appetite of the soul unappeased, there is a desire of the heart un- gratified, there is a tendency of the nature, which God litis given us, obstructed or counteracted, whenever we are conscious of pursuing a course of life by which His ways arc rendered Ihe opposite of our ways, aud His thoughts of our thoughts. And no man possessed of a rational mind, can be so hrutishly enslaved to present objects, a » not at times lo be made feelingly sensible of Ihis. And the higher bis mind, the vaster his capacity, the more will he find it impossible to acquiesce 111 tho pursuit or the enjoyment of the things of Ihis tower world ; or, i. 11 short, iu the attainment of any thing bill that righteousness, which restores him, in some sort, to Ihe likeness of God ; and imparls to him the delightful persuasion, that by thns approximat- ing to the divine perfections, he is mosl truly fulfilling the end of his being, and becoming every day more and move filled for the eujoyiueut of happiness and immortality.— Sou! hey.
