Oswestry*— Holyhead Road. i A numerous and tnost respectable meeting' of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Oswes- try assembled in the Town Hall of that Borough, yesterday, " to consider of the best means to be adopted for securing to the Town of Oswestry and its Neighbourhood the continuance of the London and Holyhead Road, in opposition to the measure con- templated by the Government Commissioners of making a New Line by which the Towns of Shrewsbury and Oswestry will be avoided." THE MAYOR having taken the Chair, and stated the purpose for which the meeting was assembled, Sir WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN, Bart, then observed, that he may be supposed to have grounds of concur- rence in the object of the meeting on account of his local interest in the town of Oswestry and its vicinity ; but beyond this he felt, that the measure proposed by the Parliamentary Commissioners was in itself most inexpedient: they proposed, by leaving Shrewsbury and Oswestry out of the line, to save 0 miles and a half, and for this the public was to pay the sum of £ 80,000. Besides the local interest of those whom he now addressed, the distressed state of the kingdom was to be looked at for those whom he addressed were contributors to the general taxation 1 and it behoved tUem to consider whether, for the purpose of saving three- quarters of an hour in the journey from lowered 50 feet: the second was for the improvement of the passage through Shrewsbury, and the alteration submitted would obviate all Mr. Telford's objections to the road through that town, at an estimated expense of £ 16,000, one half of which would be included in the cost of a new bridge, but which expense it had been hoped would be relieved by the formation of a Company to undertake that erection: the third was for the improvement of the road near Montford Bridge by which the hill there would be avoided, and the distance shortened..— The Shrews- bury Committee were now in communication with tlVe Parliamentary Commissioners on these subjects ; knd the result would shortly be known: at present he should only further say the Shrewsbury Committee had taken the requisite steps for supporting their casein Parliament.: that he trusted the town of Os- westry would go hand in hand with Shrewsbury: and that the resolutions which had been moved by the Hon. Bart, and seconded by his friend Major Gore, had his hearty concurrence.— f Cheers. J T. N. PARKER, Esq. observed that an Act had been passed by the Legislature, on the 15th July, 1S20, giving the Holyhead Road Commissioners power to effect th ® requisite alterations at Montford, Shelton, Emstrey, and Uverley Hill, and if those powers had been acted upon, there would have been no necessity for the project now cmder discussion. W. ORMSBY GORE, Esq. observed that many per- sons possessing an interest in Oswestry and its vicinity Amongst other charities at the present inclement season, we have much pleasure in recording the great liberality of William Charlton, Esq. of Apley Castle, in this county, who has caused blankets, shoes, and clothing to be distributed amongst upwards of 100 poor families in the parish of Wombridge, where, we are sorry to learn, great distress exists, in conse- quence of the depression in the iron trade. OXFORD, JAN. 21. - In a Convocation holden this day, the Very Rev. Samuel Butler, Archdeacon of Derby, and D.

This day the degree of Bachelor of Arts was con- ferred on John Dryden Pigott, Commoner of Christ Church. London to Dublin, this sum of £ 80,000 ought to be ; IJ( K I , V„ f r- pvnpmleH. If was to be observed that this fHO. OOO 1hat " en the adoption of Mr. Telford STATE OF THE COUNTRY. In this day's Jourual it is our painful duty to record various notices of meetings that have taken place fi. r the purpose of bringing the distressed state of the country under the consideration of those by whom its affairs are administered ; and we shall not now be charged with party views in alleging that the distress is universal; for the parties that have met in various places are evidently acting without concert, and pursuing the same object by different means j— In Shropshire, petitions are in circulation for a repeal of the ichole, or part, of the Malt and Beer duties, and the same course is taking in other Barley dis- tricts of the kingdom.— In Devonshire, where the people drink cider, the tax on malt and beer is not mentioned, but the parties assembled at the late county meeting petitioned for an alteration of the tithe laws :— the magistrates of Sussex, laudably anxious to preserve faith with the public creditor, and aware that in the present slate of Ihe Revenue there can be no hope of the whole of the Malt and Beer duties being repealed, pray Ihe Government not to tamper with the resources of the country, but to pause before they listen to any proposal for taking off the whole of those duties, at the same time they suggest that some relief would be afforded by a repeal of a part of them :— in other counties, such as Wilts, Somerset, & c. the declarations of distress are of a general, but most appalling, nature; and the various suffering parties pray for relief without specifying the mode in which they wish that relief should be administered— Looking at all the indica- tions evinced in every part of the kingdom, there is evident proof of an alteration, not only in the situation, but in the feelings of the people ; and they are now beginning to make known by various means their distressed condition.— An ominous feature has presented itself in the number of the Quarterly Review just published, which gives such a description of the total want of independence and capacity of the members of the existing House of Commons, that, coming as it does from an organ of the present Administration, can leave little doubt that it is very shortly intended to give the country an opportunity of exerting their own energies to obtain a more efficient Representation.— Another ominous feature of the period ik not, however, dwelt upon by the Reviewers, and that is the absence of public eonfi dence, not merely in the House of Commons, ( fo that the Reviewers admit to almost a libellous extent,) but also in the Administration of the coun try. YVe believe sincerely that at this moment the Government of England has no real party in the country-— that, in fact, however strong may be the faculties'find powers of the individual at the head of the Administration, no Administration had ever weaker body to support it: nine tenths of those who supported the Government in a recent instance, had ulterior objects, which are yet uriattained, and which they will, sooner or later, assuredly attempt to accom plish ; while those who conscientiously opposed that meaturc, feel that it is impossible again to confide in the parties who have not only forfeited, but betrayed their confidence.— The Quarterly heview, the organ, he it remembered, of those now in power,— an organ, t< » o, which, like its patrons, became last year recreanl to its former professed principles, — feels compelled to admit that " MANY OF THE SIGNS OF REVOLUTION ARK UPON us," adding " we cannot speak otherwise than thus, from the presages which we see around w. v, and should think it an abandoment of our duty if we did not proclaim THE FACT." The Reviewers say, li We have no desire to read lessons to the public, or alarm it, by unnecessary apprehensions. But we may be permitted once more, in the way of friendly admo- nition, to warn our countrymen to summon their whole virtue and resolution for the trials they may be called to encounterSo then we have here a clear admission, out of the mouths of the parties by whom the Constitution was " broken in upon" Inst year, that their boasted experiment has failed; and they would now appeal to the " virtue and resolution" of their countrymen for support in the difficulties which that and their other experiments on the constitution, laws, and resources of the country, have, involved them in.— We, therefore, also would add our humble appeal to the virtuous energies of our countrymen; for the signs of the times are indeed awful: anil if we are to be freed from our present difficulties, it must he by the adoption of a very different line of policy to that w hich has tor some years been blighting the energies, crippling the resources, and destroying the b-' st interests of the country. At the Cheshire County Meeting, held at North- wicli, on Monday last, a Petition to Parliament, setting forth the unparalleled distress existing in the agricultural and commercial interests of that county, nnd requesting Parliament to revise the currency laws, and to reduce taxation by a rigid system of economy, was unanimously adopted. expended. It £ 80,000 was Mr. Telford's estimate; and as an estimate he tberefote doubted whether it would cover the real expense. He knew something of Mr. Telford's estimates: in one case, of which he had personal cognizance, the estimate was £ 1600, but the bill actually paid was £ 4500 : and by parity of arithmetic, it would be difficult to 6ay, on this estimate of £ 80,000, what the actual cost would be. He thought it most impolitic that any scheme should be proposed for h aving out of the line a coutity town— a most impor- tant town— such as Shrewsbury: that, however, was the more especial business of the inhabitants of Shrewsbury : the business of the meeting before whom he stood was to object to the public being taxed in the sum of £ 80,000, for such an object as that proposed, under any circumstances; and more especially when it would tend to inflict an injury on the town of Oswestry. Sir W. W. Wynn concluded, amid the cheers of the assembly, by moving the first six resolutions. W, ORMSBY GORF, Esq. in seconding the resolu- tions moved by Sir Watkin, said, he felt it quite un- necessary to enteral much length into the subject for which the meeting was assembled, after the able ad- dress which they had heard from the Hon. Baronet. If, however, they looked at the map, it would be fonud that the line drawn, as the crow would fly, from Holyhead to London, would not touch any of tbe principal towns, and would leave many of those the road now passed through farther off than either Shrewsbury or Oswestry ; and if a line were drawn front the Menai Bridge to London, it would be found that Shrewsbury was the only principal town that line would touch : he mentioned this as matter of curiosity, because he was aware there might be circumstances, ( though to bis mind they did Dot appear in tbis in- stance,) which might furnish just grounds for avoid- ing even a principal town, lie wished, as far as pos- sible that the objects of the Parliamentary Commis- sioners should be duly appreciated, and acceded to in so far as they could, consistent with tbe purpose of the meeting ; and. he thought that when it was shown to them and to their surveyor, ( Mr. Telford,) that the most direct lines were those which approximated upon the principal towns, they would be inclined to give up those plans by pursuing which the principal towns would he avoided. Improvements might be made in tbe present line between Wellington and Chirk, by which a distance of two miles might be saved; and this at a comparatively small expense, which, when opposed to the sum of £ 80,000, the amount of Mr. Telford's estimate, would, as far as economy went, he a strong argument in their favour ; and even if the country did not object to spending £ 80,000 in this pursuit, yet if they could show that, preserving Ihe existing interests, they could effect a great im- provement, for a much smaller sum, it would have great weight in the consideration of this question. The town of Shrewsbury had stepped forward very handsomely in this business; and he thought if Shrewsbury and Oswestry would draw together in this question, it would be greatly to the advantage of both. Oswestry had been rather jealous of an insinuation thrown out at Shrewsbury, as to shorten- ing the distance by taking a line through Whittington and avoiding Oswestry; but it could be shown that Oswestry approached nearer to a direct line than Whittington ; and therefore lie would again urge the importance of Shrewsbury making common cause w ith Oswestry. Divide et impera was an old maxim ; and it would certainly be much easier to beat Shrews- bury and Oswestry in detail than if they were united in their pursuit of the same common object. It might be- of no use now to advert to the proceedings of past times ; but as an illustration of what he had just remarked, if on a former occasion, when the town of Oswestry wished the direction of a portion of the Holyhead Road to have heen across Pontvaen, their view had been supported by the town of Shrews- bury, the project now on foot would probably never have been heard of. Oswestry was then defeated, because it was left alone; he hoped that now, how- ever, the unity of interest was more apparent, and that both towns would pull together. After some further remarks as to the arrangements of the business tbat would be left to the Committee, Major Gore sat down amid great approbation. The Hon. THOMAS KF. NYON said he was not sure that he should have trespassed upon the attention of the meeting on this occasion, if it had not been that Lord Give had commissioned him to apologise to the meeting for bis unavoidable absence, in conse- quence of iiis having to meet the Earl of Powis that day at Walcot. His Lordship in his letter said he wished much to retain the Holyhead Road through Shrewsbury and Oswestry ; and the great obstacles to this at present were— the road at Overley Hill— Ihe passage through Shrewsbury— and tbe distance lost by passing through Oswestry & to the Gobowen: and the last- named was the greatest of these obstacles: for he thought that by a good fight they should retain Shrewsbury in the line ; and he much wished that lie could be as sanguine as to Oswestry. Having said thus much on behalf of the Noble Lord, Mr. Keuyon said, for his own part, his opposition to the project of the Parliamentary Commissioners was upon these broad grounds: 1st. Because there was no necessity for any alteration of the general line of road ; and secondly, because the proposition now set forth by the Commissioners involved a breach of faith. He made this latter assertion with the greater satisfaction on this occasion, because he did so in the presence of Ihe Hon. Bart, who had introduced Mr. Telford to tbe former Holyhead Road Commissioners; and be was quite sure that introduction would never have proceeded from the Hon. Bart, if he could have supposed that it would have led to any project by which the road would he diverted from its existing route. If the breach of faith, therefore, was not direct, it was unquestionably implied in any proposal for taking the road out of its present line. The Hon. Gent. tl* en went into a course of argument which shewed that as the object avowed by the Parlia- mentary Commissioners was to save half an hour in the journey between Loudon and Holyhead, that object would be more fully attained by keeping to the present line, aud accepting the voluntary ofTr of the Mail Contractors to expedite the mail an hour sootier than at present, if required; and this advan- tage might be still further increased as far as any useful object required, by the employment of better steam vessels than those which now ply between Holyhead and Ireland. As to the town of Shrews- bury he would observe, that so far from there being the slightest wish on the part of that town to act unfriendly to Oswestry, the very reverse was the fact : they were, indeed, most anxious to keep Os- westry in the line, being quite satisfied that all the arguments that had been urged in favour of Shrews- bury, would apply more strongly to Oswestry ; and therefore be hoped both towns would most decidedly co operate in the business. On the line of road projected by the Commissioners front Wellington to Chirk, there were only six pro. prietors that had declared in its favour; some were neuter; hut the great majority in numbers and in property were decidedly against it: indeed, the agent of one extensive property on that projected line had said it would damage that property to the amount of £ 7000. The Shrewsbury Committee bad had many plans before them ; but there were only three that hail arrested their attention : the first of these was fo,- t.! ie improvement of the road at Overley Hill, which the local Commissioners of that Trust were al. out to undertake, and by which the road would be line, by which both Shrewsbury and Oswestry would be avoided, would not, in reality, be so prejudicial to the interests of Oswestry, as a line which, retaining Shrewsbury, should leave out Oswestry. Sir W. W. WYNN concurred in this observation, and said, if any plan were adopted, by which Shrews- bury should be kept on the Holyhead mail line, while Oswestry was excluded, a regard for their- own interests must induce the inhabitants of Oswestry to endeavour to turn the current of the travelling through that town, as far as possible, into some new line which shall tend more to its own advantage. The utmost unanimity prevailed throughout the meeting; and a subscription was immediately com menced in furtherance of the resolutions adopted— ( See AdvertJ 11ARE BIRDS, 4r.

We noticed in our last Journal, that tbe extreme severity of the present season bad been evidenced by tbe arrival, in the district within our circulation, of several birds of rare occurrence: of these some beautiful specimens are now in the hands of our ingenious townsman, Mr. Slww, whose superior talent iti the art of preserving these feathered visitors, and giving to their inanimate forms the vivid appearance of real life, is too well known to require further observation.— Among those now in his possession are— 1. Two WILD SWANS.— The one is a remarkably fine specimen, and larger than tbe size assigned by Bewick : tbis bird was shot on the Severn, at the Isle, near this town.— The other is a fine specimen of the same race, and was shot by Lord Vaughati, at Cross- Wood, near Aberystwith.— We gave a; geiieral description of the wild swan in the 4th page of our last. Journal. « « . 2. DIVERS.— Of this description of birds, Ifiefe are1 two very rare specimens: the one is The Dun Direr, and was shot on the Severn ; the other " is The Sp. echlcd Diver.— Both these are very rarely to lie found in this country. 3. THE LESSER OR RED- HEATIVD SMPW.— This bird measures about 15 inches and a half in length and twenty- four in breadth, and weighs about 14 or 15 ounces.— It is very seldom met with in Britain. 4. THE BRENT GOOSE.— This bird, like other species of the same genus, quits the rigours of the North in winter, and proceeds southward, according to the severity of the season, in search of a milder climate. 5. THE BOHEMIAN OR WAXEN CHATTERER.— This beautiful bird is about eight inches in length ; its bill is black, and has a small notch at the end ; its eyes, which are black and shining, are placed in a band of black, which passes from the base of the bill to the hinder part of the head ; its throat is black ; Ihe feathers on the head are long, forming a crest ; all the upper parts of the body are of a reddish ash colour ; the breast and belly inclining to purple, the tail feathers are black, tipped with pale yellow ; the quills are black, the third and fourth tipped on their outer edges with white, the five following witli straw colour, hut in some bright yellow, the secondaries are tipped with white, each being pointed with a flat horny substance of a bright Vermillion colour.— Only this species of the Chatterer is ever found in Europe. It may be interesting to the curious in matters of this sort lo know, that Mr. Shaw has also now in his possession a PIED blackbird ; a thrush w'ith a white head ; and a white hare, which silvery specimen of the latter species was killed at Totterton, near Bishop's Castle.

SIB, In my last letter 1 confined my observations to a few remarks on the legislative power of the Holyhead Road Commissioners : and some of your readers, per- haps, may think I might as well have saved myself that trouiile: but many judicious reasoners have been of opinion that men who permit even their abstract rights to he trampled upon without claiming those rights, although they may not have the power of enforcing them, deserve all the contumely which can be cast upon their pusillanimity. I shall now, how- ever, proceed to the purpose of my present communi- cation. If I rightly understand my Lord Clive, he wished to impress upon the late County meeting and the members chosen of the Committee, that they should insist upon the road being continued through Shrews- bury and Oswestry: at the same time intimating that it was possible tbis object might be attained by arranging the matter with the Irish Commissioners: yet his Lordship threw out a hint that probably the line through Shrewsbury would not be along tbe present mail route, and that the sum required to improve the road through Shrewsbury and its suburbs w ould lie so large that it could only be raised by the Commissioners, and might he charged ( in the shape of tolls of course) on the road w hen improved. Now, Sir, if the route through the town is to be changed, this must be effected either by the formation of a new line from the English Bridge to the Welsh Bridge, or by making some new approach to the town, which will require the erection of a third bridge : this latter idea, though it has been broached, and has given rise to much discussion, is, however, 1 think, too improbable to be dwelt upon. As to the other point, the formation of a new line from the English Bridge to the Welsh Bridge, and the improvement of the suburbs, if the Irish Com- missioners have, indeed, the power of obtaining £ 100,000 of public money, and choose to apply it in that way, of course the thing could be effected : but sure I am that it would be quite impossible for the residents of this district to pay additional toll equiva lent to such an outlay— and if any person has told his Lordship that the town of Shrewsbury and its vicinity can afford to pay such an increased toll, I shall only say they have grossly deceived the Noble Lord and themselves:— and I need scarcely add, that any additional toll collected from the Irish travellers merely, would be of little avail under such circumstances. Let any person take the trouble of inquiring on all the districts round Shrewsbury, and it will be found that the system of the economists has given a sure index even in that department: for those who have not had business to compel them to travel, have of late found it expedient to keep at home, and in consequence the amount of tolls received has greatly declined in every direction: again, a reference to the state of Shrewsbury itself— without making vague or exaggerated declarations of distress— will, on ex- amination, be found to sympathise with unerring certainty in the depressed condition of the agricul- tural classes by whom it is surrounded, and oti whom it mainly depends: indeed, if it were dependent on manufactures, that northern suburb with which I am most acquainted, and in which the manufactures of Shrewsbury are carried on, at present evinces the effects of the modern system of extending machinery and superseding manual labour ; for at one establish- ment, which formerly employed about 70 men as flax- dressers and more than half that number of apprentices in the same line, less than half a dozen men, and a few children, are found sufficient to do the work with the aid of machinery :— thus, while a few individuals, in this and other branches, are adding tens of thousands a year to their income, do thou- sands of men, who have served apprenticeships of seven years to a business, find themselves, as they advance in years, reduced in many cases to the situa- tion of ill- paid, because inefficient, labourers, or, what is worse, the inmates of a poorhouse, in consequence of their inability to procure any kind of employment: ^— mid yet there are writers and speakers who will tell us that it is not possible to extend too far the operation of machinery! To return, however, to my subject.— It has been already shown, in the discussion of this question, that no sufficient reason has been assigned by the Irish Commissioners for adopting a line by which Shrewsbury and Oswestry shall be avoided: it has also been shown that the adoption of such line would greatly injure the general interests of Shrewsbury and Oswestry— wholly destroy the property of some indi- viduals— and afford not a shadow of an equivalent: if, therefore, that scheme is persisted in, a gross public wrong will be done, and irreparable private injury will be inflicted: and I now contend, that if it be intended, on the abandonment of that scheme, to expend a similar amount of outlay in the formation of a new line through Shrewsbury and Frankwell, the Commissioners ought not to be led to suppose that they can he repaid by a toll to be levied on the inhabitants of Shrewsbury and its vicinity: for, anxious as the Salopians may be to keep tbe great thoroughfare, yet if a new line is formed through the town and the suburbs, all the residents and proprie- tors on the old line will think it enough to be left in the back- ground, without being called upon to con- tribute to a toll for a work that has depreciated their own property; and those who feel no other interest in the Holyhead Road than that which arises from a desire that their town, if it cannot advance, shall not retrograde, will, I think, be of opinion, that the good retained has been purchased at a price beyond its value. In truth, if the " system" is such, that certain active and clever individuals must have their salaries and their per centages, and that this cannot be done unless they are permitted to have the spending of a certain annual amount of public money— if, I say, we must submit to this " system," then let the public, not merely of Shrewsbury or of Shropshire, but the public at large, pay for these " improve- ments ;" but, most fervently do 1 hope that such a " system," under the existing or any other circum- stances of the country, will be speedily terminated. I will, Sir, add one further observation.— The Irish or Holyhead Road Commissioners say they want to save a certain portion of time in the journey from London to Holyhead. Now, Sir, if the road from Lord Hill's Column to the Mount in Frankwell were made as smooth and as level as the sheet of paper on which I write this letter— if there were no more houses, streets, or crooked turnings than existed in the days of Caractacus— I defy any man living to show that more than fire minutes mail time could be saved in tbis distance;— all that the Commissioners could save by the formation of their projected line from Wellington to Chirk, would be but about half an hour mail time;— and the Mail Contractors have said that on the EXISTING LINE, with merely the completion of the requisite improvements at Overley Hill and other minor points on the route, they will, if required, forward the mail in above an hour less time tlian at present!— being assuredly all the time requi site to any useful purpose for which the mail can be expedited. Am 1 not, and is not the public, therefore warranted in believing that there is something at the bottom of the projected improvements, beyond the mere point of public convenience ? In fact, and in plain English, is there not just ground of suspicion, ( hat the whole project for spending from £ 70,000 to £ 100,000 is a JOB, for which the community would have to pay, but by which a very few individuals only could be benefitted?

OSWESTRY- REPEAL OF THE MALT DUTIES. To the Honourable the COMMONS of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Par- liament assembled t The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Town and Neighbourhood of Osw F- STRY, in the County of Salop, Sheweth, rrllA Tyour Petitioners are deeply sensible of the great Distress which at present afflicts the General Interests of the Country. That among the staple commodities of the king- dom, the manufacture of Malt and Beer it one of the most extensive and important. Thafrthe excessive Duties on Malt and Beer, and the vexatious regulations of the last Mult Act, art far from being the least considerable of those evils which at present so deeply oppress the Agricultural interests. That the Duties on Beer are particularly ob- jectionable, considered as connected with the Poorer and Working Classes of the community : First, From having to purchase their Beer at Public Houses, they are compelled to pay for this most wholesome and necessary beverage a tax from which the higher and Wealthier classes are exempt. Secondly, From the comparatively Low Price of Ardent Spirits, they are induced to resort to Dram Drinking, than which nothing tends more materially to their demoralization and misery. That the annual Consumption of Malt has been marly the same for the last thirty or forty years, although during that period the. population of England has increased several millions, and many thousands of acres of Waste Lands have been brought into cultivation ; whence it may be fairly concluded, that the demand for Barley under the present system, is not duly encouraged.

If it should be urged that in some of Ihe Welsh counties there would be a want of a suliWiently strong Bar or intelligent Jury- men, 1 conceive that some mode might be easily devised to allow a limited discretion in the Court at Westminster in which any important cause should be depending, to permit it to be tried in the next English county, on such terms as the Court should please, as well in the article of Costs as otherwise. Hut to have a proper jury in Wales, I have long been of opinion, formed on actual knowledge of many of those included in the annual returns, that the qualification for jurors, and also the allowance to those who serve, should be increased to at least as much as they are in England, and then it would frequently prevent the heavy charge of a special jury. The attendance of jurymen of small qualifi- cations for three or four days at a Great Session is a heavy expense anti most serious loss and inconveni- ence, more indeed than many of them can well bear.

MACHINERY AND THE DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. WELSH JUDICATURE. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, Happening to call on an old friend a few days ago, 1 ft he had been reading CYMRO'S letters of the flth anil 26th ult. on the Welsh Judicature and the Great Session Eecords, inserted in your Journals of the last month, which were then lying open before him. The subject caught my eye, and occasioned some conversation between us. I know not who the writer is, hilt the letters prove him to be a gentleman of good sense and feeling, and that he is master of the subjects oil which lie has addressed you. My friend made many sensible observations, and shewed me some letters, & c published as a pamphlet, in 1819, by Mr. Owen, printer, & c. in Welsh Pool, containing remarks on the practice of the Great Sessions Court.— It glaringly exposed the many irregularities, contrarieties, and absurdities in the pro- ceedings, and the carelessness ( bordering even on contempt) which the different officers have evinced by their conduct, as lo their correction and improve- ment, except in the increase of fees. The pamphlet explained the original formation of the mode of proceeding in the Court, and its processes, & c. and the alterations they had undergone from time to time. It shewed the great tardiness and little attention paid to the subject in making those alter- ations, and it suggested many further alterations in the practice from step to step, which my friend said would very much improve and simplify it, and render it more regular and scientific than it now is. He also recollectcd to have seen some letters in your Journal in the spring of 1820, under the fictitious name of JOIIN DOE, iu one of which ( he thought the second or third) were several other suggestions as to improving the processes, & c.; and he regretted that so little attention had been since paid to the subject by the officers, the judges, and the members of par- liament. At the conduct of the officers he was not much sur- prised, as the present confusion increased their fees for motions, rules, & c.; and after reading the Report of the Common Law Commissioners anil its Appendix, one might account for the very little done by the Judges, although one of them complained, not of heing overwhelmed with business, but of having " nothing at all" to do on the circuit. My friend expected more to have been enacted than there is by the statute passed in 1804 ; and remarked, that Ihe gentry did not forget their own interest in reducing the demands of the Crown on them in cutting off or barring entails of their landed properties, • This remark of my friend brought us to the con- sideration of the subjcct of CYMUO'S last letter, namely,, the state of the Records. It is particularly animadverted on in ( he eleventh letter, page 95, of the above noticed pamphlet, anil its revival by CYMHO pleased mv friend, who observed, that nothing having bent date might be accounted for; the Statute of ll-' Qt was obtained as a public Act of Parliament at the expense of the nation, not so would be the assort, nient, removal, and regulation of the Denbighshire nnd Montgomeryshire Records ; and he added, what, though not indecorous in a private party, 1 do not think proper to expose in a newspaper. Its substance, however, may be readily surmised. In this I disagreed with him : — I thought the neglect was from the gentlemen of those counties not having seen the letters, or been informed of the circumstance ; nnd, 1 believe, if they were apprised of it, the records remaining under Wrexham church would soon be removed to the proper repositories. He further informed me, that in the time of the late Montgomeryshire Prothonotary he had occasion to examine the records of the reign of Henry the VIII. and took a journey for the purpose. The Protho- notary very civilly attended in person, and in the outer upper room of the record office they searched the whole forenoon, amongst a promiscuous heap of parchments anil papers lying on the Hour for want of presses and shelves, intermixed with the rubbish of an attorney's office, and covered with dust; and when they had waded almost through them the Protho notary recollected that the early records were . in a vault under Wrexham church, because, as he said, the county would not lie at the expense of removing them to Pool; so it ended in the officers' having no fee, and my friend having his labour for his pains. With respect to the continuance or abolition of the Court various opinions prevail; I have heard many of them expressed, and have load the reports of the parliamentary committee and royal com missioners, and the evidence appended to them, and after much consideration Ihe reslilt of my opinion is that an abolition would be a heavy grievance to the principality, unless some other Court, either general or local, were to be established for the speedy, easy, and cheap recovery of suiail debts [ From Blackwood's Magazine.'] Now, apart from all considerations of humanity merely, ami those feelings which ought to actuate us as Christian men, it is, as a political question, one of the most interesting that can be made the subject of enquiry— Why such distress should exist, and be in a progressive state of aggravation, not withstanding the immense accession which has confessedly been made to cur means of producing, aU those things of which " distress,'" as we have used the word, signifies the ABSENCE ? Why is it that want, and new and extraordinary means of producing abundance, pro- ceed pari passu, and that those improvements which wear the appearance of a general blessing, are fraught with curses to Ihe poor? It is because the process through which the advantages of industry were for- merly obtained has undergone a change, and that change has taken away the necessity which did exist that the labouring classes should have their share from the capitalists, of all these advantages. The only securily which the labourer had at any time for his support was, as has been mentioned, the necessity for his assistance in order to make an advantage of the possessions held by his more fortunate brethren. If these possessions could have been turned to profit- able account without him, he would have been left to starve ; and now that by our " improvements" they can he turned to account without him, or with a great deal less of his assistance than formerly, he is accordingly left to starve. But had these means which arc now " improvements," existed from the beginning, society would not have taken the form which it now has; laws would not have been suffered to accumulate one upon another, securing the pro- perty to a few, and leaving to the mass nothing but what their power of labouring gave them the com- mand of, if, as now, that power was little or no security for support. If, then, we become satisfied that the great machine of society went on well and smoothly hitheito, only in consequence of a connexion of its parts, formed by necessities and powers which adapted themselves to one another, it is not to be wondered at, that one side of the connexion, namely, the necessitous, being in a great measure worn away, the machine should go out of order, and one part of it work exceedingly to Ihe disadvantage of the other. If the people are to live, if this kingdom is not to become merely the habitation of masters and ma- chinery, with the few occcssary to manufacture and attend upon these laborious and long- lived pieces of mechanism, some change must take place in the forms in whic h properly and society are disposed. If the people arc to live, and machines make their labour of so little value to others that they cannot get the means of living in exchange for it, they must be provided with something upon which they can labour for themselves. If the world were all as one family, wherein each individual benefitted according to the addition which could, by any means, be made to the common stock, then should we join with the political economists, and rejoice in the freedom of trade, and in every new dcvice by which human labour could be dispensed with in the production of desirable commodities; but as that state of society has nut yet come, we must, during the advent of such a happy consummation, resort to means adapted to the selfishness of mankind, and the new powers conferred on that selfishness, by the inventions which dispense with the labour of working men. It is curious to find even the warmest panegyrists of all the effects of machinery admitting that some extra- ordinary new vent for manufactures, some wonderful extension of trade, is necessary to prevent the country from sinking. China must be crammed with our delf, the whole country of H ndostan be covered with our cotton goods, Japan must have our tin ware, and if that w ill not suffice, we must freight balloons to the " pale- faced moon," or diving bells " to the bottom of the deep, Where fathom- line could never touch the ground," in search of new realms to carry off our wondrous stores of manufactures; and all this wonderful exten- sion must take place, ' or else we perish.' Where, then, is the improvement ? Of what advantage to us these prodigious means of extending our manufactures without the aid of men, when so many of our own population are thereby left to idleness and starvation, and the profit on the machine- made goods is so small, that nothing but the discovery of a new world to be " saturated" with them, can make the trade worth following? Our manufacturers have exhausted the old world, and then imagined a new, which they have prepared goods to exhaust, if their imagination could be turned into reality; but who reaps the benefit ?— the people of foreign countries, where they are sold for less than their first cost, while in the midst of the abundance of goods rotting in ware- houses, or sent away to be sold at a loss, the English artizan, or lie who oncc was an artizau, shivers in rags, the unhappy victim of modern improvements. It is high time that the Parliament should look to this matter. Indeed, making all imaginable allow- ance for the dulness of our representatives to matters of real importance to the country, we cannot think it possible that the ensuing session will pass over without some important measure, adapted, so far as the wisdom of Parliament will go, to the present state of the once working classes. Difficult as it is to force upon the attention of those who live in continual plenty and immoral indulgence the severe distress of those whom it is a trouble to them to think of, yet they can hardly be blind to the necessity of acting in a matter which the people themselves have taken up in a way extremely novel in this country, and dangerous, or the contrary, according as the legislature may make it. Multitudes of the common people now see clearly Ihe state they are placed in. They perceive that their labour is valuable, if they had the means of applying it ; but as their former masters have no use for it, they are driven to see whether they cannot use it for their own advantage. Those who have the virtues of thrift and patience, are forming themselves into societies for the purpose of enjoying the benefit, of their mutual labour; and it is impossible to look at their virtuous endeavours to substitute comfortable competi nee for the horrors of dependence on pre- carious employment by masters, without wishing them God speed. But it may be worth the while of the politician to look carefully at the effects which such societies, should they become extensive and abundant, may have upon the political slate of the A correspondent of an Evening Paper communi- cates the following interesting account of a success- ful ascent made by two Englishmen, Messrs. fclawe^ i and Follows, iu July, 1827:— The two travellers having provided themselves with no fewer' thau nine guides, as well as with ropes, blankets, and a suitable stock of provisions, set out from Chatnouni between eight and nine in the morning, and after four hours travelling, reached the first glacier at a height of about nine thousand feet above the level of the sea. They then proceeded in the following order .— " Two guides tied together with a rope long enough to allow them to walk thirty feet from one another; the first, pioneer- like, carrying the axe, with which he had to cut, as the situations required, either hand or foot hold. Two more guides tied as the above. Fonr guides, who were exclusively occupied with the care of my brother and Mr. Fellows ; the rest, three in number, followed ; each guide carried about twelve pounds, including his knapsack. The use of the rope is to guard against the danger of falling into the crevices, into which the glacier is split in every direction, tnore particularly in passing the bridges of snow, which, though they frequently bear those who are fortunate enough to be the first to pass over them, yet as frequently yield to those who follow, but who are thus secured by the rope supporting them between the two guides to whom it is fastened. On entering the glacier they were not a little sur- prised at hearing the sound of voices in ihe air hailing them ; upon looking up they saw three butterfly hunters, like so many specks upon one of the points of rock of the Aiguille du Midi, im mediately above them. In such situations it appears they sit for hours together, holding their silk nets to the wiud to catch these insects, in order to sell them to collectors. At half- past four they reached the base of the Grand Mulcts, a pile of rocks which rises abruptly from the glacier to the height of about one hundred feet. This they as- cended, and found a flat near the summit, of eight feet by four, sheltered on one side by a rising ledge of rock, and a smaller space adjoining, about fonr feet square. This was to be their quarters for the night; and changing their shoes and stockings, they prepared to pass it as well as tbey could; At three o'clock they were called to breakfast, and here they found their appetites had not deserted them. The thermometer stood at 25 degrees. By a quarter to four tliey were again en route. The weather continued remarkably favourable, and the cold of the previous night had hardened the sur- face of the snow. The keenness of the air and the ( thus far) exhilarating nature of their enterprise and exertions, produced au excitement of mind which is described as highly delightful. When the sun rose the scene was truly magnificent. The summit and high ragged pinnacles of grajt& c first caught the light which gradually descended, and developed the scenery around them. At four o'clock they were again on Ihe ice and snow, and, having entered on the glacier, tied together as before, they proceeded in the direction of the Dome de Goute. " They were now about twelve thousand feet above the level of the sea, and found great diffi- culty in traversing the vast basins of snow and ice. The avalanches were now falling in their vicinity, and time was unavoidably lost iu keeping clear of the track of those overwhelming masses ; they persevered however, and at last reached a spot of comparative safety, not very distant from the summit of the mountain. Now, however, the main struggle began; the guides became of very little use, all suffering from the same cause: they had to walk for about an hour and a half under a most oppressive sun, unrefreshed by a breath of air, and instead of having to cut their footsteps, as was the case a few miuutes before" w hen the snow was hard and sheltered from the sun, they were now sinking several inches into it at every step. The rays of the sun were reflected upon them in all directions, and almost overcame some. Balniut and another guide suffered the most; undiscquraged, however, they pushed oil, and attaining soon a higher elevation, tbey entered a gentle though very cold current of air, which renewed their former vigour and animation. Here the state of the snow was again very different, being hard and compact, and in those parts where the ascent was very steep the foremost guide was obliged to have recourse to the axe. Respiration afterwards became very difficult, and every one was more or less affected. Mr. Fellows suffered from loss of blood, nans* a, and head- ache, whilst my brother appears to have been free from the two first of these unpleasant sensa- tions, and suffered comparatively little but from the loss of his usual muscular power and free breathin Tliey had now to carry no more than four or five bottles, ( two of wine and three of lemonade) a few party simultaneously stopped, and cast a look of silent congratulation at one another on the danger they had escaped. In the course of the afternoon they were overtaken by a snow storm, which lasted but a short time; but it quite effaced the track of their ascent, which would have been useful to them in determining their course. They reached the Grand Mulets about half- past six. The snow and sleet had completely soaked the blanket and sheets they had left behind them, and they were forced to take what rest they could on the bare rock. Their fatigues left them in no condition to be over- scrupulous about their accommodation. About three o'clock, p. m. on the 26th, they were called to breakfast. The morning was fine and exhilarating; there was a keen and eager air, and the remnants of the provisions were in request by some. Mr. Fellows and three of the guides took but little Soon after six they were on the extremity of the glacier, and once more walking on terra firma. The party now sat down for about ten minutes to rest, and to congratulate themselves on the perils which they had escaped. Their faces were much blistered during the ascent, and were very painful. The rays of the sun being reflected upon them in all directions, and the atmosphere being many degrees warmer than during the previous day, the inflammation was tnuch increased during the de- scent."

DISTRESS IN PRESTON.— The distress in this place turns out to be much deeper and more extensive than was imagined. The individuals who are relieved by the soup committee every week amount to no less than ten thousand, !— so that, it may be said, very nearly, if not quite, one- third of our entire population are receiving charitable relief! and as all persons receiving more than half- a- crown per week each are excluded from the benefits of the charity, we may form some estimate of the wretchcd earnings of the stockings, and after much search and no little parley, ten thousand who are relieved.

One fine summer day he had occasion to cross a burn or brook, the bed of which, though by uo means considerable, was yet too wide to be cleared at a bound. In these circumstances, the thought struck him that it would save both time and trouble if he stripped off one shoe and stocking, and then hopped through to the other side. Accord- ingly he did so, hut very unfortunately, on entering the water he put the wrong foot in requisition, and discovered, when he had gained the opposite bank, that he had drenched the clothed limb nearly to the knee, while the naked one remained as dry and com- fortable as a leg, or a brace of them, can well be, even in the case of a staid old bachelor, who has toasted himself for hours before the fire, and is just about to tumble into bed.— Dumfries Courier.— [ This statement reminds us of an anecdote related of a certain Reverend Dean, who called his laundress in great haste ( as the bell was then going for the cathe- dral service), and, pacing about his room with one leg bare, commenced rating the maid soundly for sending him up but one stocking, instead of a pair: the laundress insisted that she had sent up a pair of About half- past twelve on Friday night a destruc- tive fire broke out in the house of Mr. Wild, linen- draper, No. 31, Rathbone- place, adjoining the Percy Hotel. The flames were first discovered at the lower part of the house, and such was the fury with which they raged, that the inmates were obliged to jump from the windows in their night- clothcs, in doing which, we regret to say, that four persons ( females) were so seriously injured as to render it necessary to convey them to the Middlesex Hospital. The names of these females are— Mrs. Wild, the wife of the proprietor of the house, two young women ( sisters) named Abbott, and the servant girl of Mr. Wild. The boy was also injured, but not ill so serious a manner. An elderly gentleman, named Flicker, bad a very narrow escape; he is aged and infirm, and was rescued with great difficulty. The Percy Hotel was at one time oil fire, but the flames were extinguished. By half- past two the Haines were so far subdued as to leave no fear of their ex- tending farther. Saturday evening, Mrs. Wild was considered in a very dangerous state, and faint hopes arc entertained of her recovery. Mr. Wild escaped with only a sprained ankle and a few slight bruises. The two females, named Abbott, assisted Mrs. Wild in the business. The eldest was on Sunday night perfectly insensible, having received a concussion of the brain, and the other has her arm broken and collar- bone fractured. The servant girl ( Jane Mosley) is so far recovered that she has left the hospital and gone home to her parents. Mr. Wild can give no account as to the origin of the fire. He was the last up in the house, and retired to his bedchamber about twelve o'clock, llalf an hour afterwards he was alarmed by a policeman, when he found the lower part of the house in flames, and, finding there was no other means of escape, himself and Mrs. Wild jumped out of the window. The young females hastened down stairs with only their night- clothes on, but finding the passage in flames they returned up stairs and jumped out of the first floor window. If the policeman had not discovered the fire the whole of the inmates must have perished. The stock and furniture are insured. [ FURTHER PARTICULARS.] One of Mrs. Wild's assistants, named Abbott, died iu consequence of having precipitated herself from the two pair. Two other females are in the hospital in an almost hopeless state. After the alarm of the fire was first given, the rooms were searched for the inmates, and none found, so that it was supposed they had gone down stairs and escaped; but Ihe females had run up to the leads, otherwise there was time for them to escape. Mr. Wild is insured in the Globe for £ 2000. Officers attended io ascer- tain the cause of the fire; and, iu answer to the in- quiries, Mr. Wild replied that he did not think it was occasioned by the gas. There are beams run- ning between Mr. Wild's house and the Percy Hotel, and where there are chimneys, which, in the former proprietor's time, were not much used ; and it was feared that they caused it. As soon as the fire burst out, a Serjeant of police, and several men were soon oil the spot. The Serjeant sent police- men for engines, turncocks, & c. so that there was soon water enough, and in a short time 13 engines attended, and there was a force of about 100 police- men ou the spot, and they kept the mob at least 100 yards from the tire.

THE COTTON MANIA.— The demand which so unexpectedly sprang up, on Monday last, for cotton, infused an extraordinary degree of activity into the lads of the flags, or, rather, whilst the frost was intense, the lads of the floor. These gentlemen, cold and gloomy as the weather was, were at their posts, every morning after Tuesday, sh » rtly after nine o'clock, ready to supply the Manchester dealers with any quantity of cotton, from one to two hundred thousand bags, which they might require.

INSECTS IN INDIA.— Among the various miseries which our fellow- countrymen, who engage in the service of the East India Company, are doomed to endure, the following is not the least. During the rainy season, the houses are so infested with insects, that it is necessary to have little covers for tumblers and tea- cups. The air is so still and stagnant, that persons are compelled to keep their doors wide open, and, consequently, the tables are thickly covered with variety of the most disgusting vermin. These mingling with the blood- thirsty musquitos, are enough to make a Saint delirious.

The stock was small, only amounting to 280,000 bags; the crop in fhe United States was deficient; and Brazil, Egypt, and the East Indies would not furnish us with any quantity worth speaking of. Such was the opinion of " the best informed and the most intelligent brokers." A scarcity of cotton was therefore certain.

The face of the country was covered by immense forests, chiefly of oak, in the midst of which, upon the precipitous banks of vers, or on rocks which formed a natural fortifica- tion, and were deemed impregnable by the military art of that period, were placed the castles of the feudal barons. One principal source of the wealth of the proprietors of these extensive forests con- sisted in the noble timber which tliey contained, and the deer and other animals of the chase with which they abounded. Immense tracts which, iu the present day, are stretched out into an intermin- able extent of naked and desolate moor, or occupied by endless miles of barren peat hogs, were, in thoso early ages, covered by noble forests of oak, ash, beech, and other hard timber. Huge knotted trunks of black oak, the remains of these primitive woods, have been and are still discovered, buried deep un- der the surface, in almost every moor in Scotland. Such, indeed, was, at an early period, the extent and impervious nature of these woods, that tho English, in their invasions, endeavoured to clear the country by fire and by the hatchet; and Knighton elates, that in an expedition of the Duke of Lan- caster into this country, in the reign of Richard the econd, this prince having recourse to these methods, employed in the work of destruction so vast a multi- tude, that Ihe stroke of eighty thousand hatchets might be heard resounding through the forests, whilst the fire was blazing and consuming them at the same moment.
