AMD COURIER OF WALK HOISE OF LOR I S— THLESDAY. The Address, which was as usual, an echo of the fi| eerh (' see Hli pogej, was moved by the Duke of lit'CCl. i UGH, and seconded by Lord SALTOUN. Earl STANHOPE said, under a state of difficulty and distress so universally prevalent and unequalled it intensity, it behoved their Lordships to address the Throne, not in the language of compliment, but of truth. A more inapt or inappropriate Speech was never delivered from the Throne: It spoke of dis tress among the agricultural and manufacturing classcs; but he wotdd ask, did it not extend to every cfass and every interest ? The Noble Luke held out n hope that the distress was but temporary ; but he considered the danger most imminent; and it was the bounden duty of their Lordships, as the country was tiearly destroyed, to take cafe that it was not quite annihilated. The Noble Duke must be well aware of the intensity of the distress which prevailed anil yet there appeared in the Speech no hope of relief, no promise evt n that the sufferings of the people- should re.- eive the consolation of inquiry. The Noble Duke was entitled to the gratitude and admiration of his country for his former career; but he continued to walk in the steps of his predecessors as to the mis- govcrnnient of this uuhappy court1 TV. In his opinion the country was approaching a crisis, which would shake it lo its centre ; it was not in language to depict the dangers, nay, the desperation which must ensue, if a remedy were not applied. It w- as his in- tention, upon a future occasion, to call the attention of their Lordships to the effects which had arisen from the alteration of the currency. This measure had increased the weight of all public burdens and all private obligations, and had greatly contributed to the depression of the country. It had raised the taxes higher in actual value than they were during the last year of the war. He would not fort Ire r trespass upon their Lordships1 time, but conclude by moving the introduction of these words into the Address — " That tliis house views with the deepest sorrow and anxiety the severe distress which now pervades the country, and that they w ill immediately enter upon an investigation of its causes with a view of adminis tering relief." This amendment was supported by the Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of WiNcmr. st A ; and the Earl of CARNARVON spoke against the Address, as did Lords KING and C'l. irDEN. The Duke of WELLINGTON, after noticing the state of the foreign relations of the country, said, " I had intended, my Lords, to confine myself in w hat I had to say lo the latter part of the Speech from the Thror. e, and the latter part of the Address, which was particularly alluded to by the Noble Earl at the table, and which, notwithstanding the great pains that hai e been taken with other topics, I consider Ihe most important part of the Speech. His Majesty has thought proper to recommend to this House, that it would proceed with great caution in the consideration of the subjects which nre to be submitted to it. But what does the Noble Earl opposite do ? He not only dues not attend to the recommendation of his Majesty — a recommendation thrown out with prudence ami discretion— but he calls upon your Lordships to pledge yourselves not only to inquire into those transactions for the good ot toe country, but he points eut the very nteasnre which ought to be adopted— namely, an alteration of the currency. ( llerr— No. J This, 1 say, my l- ords, is the measure pointed " Ut by the Noble Earl. He has thought proper to make ( tome observations upon the Speech from the Throne, as if his Majesty's Government had neglected to ascertain the true state of the country— as if they were ignorant of its distress, and as if 1, especially, were negligent of my duty in this particular. I can fissure him that no one is more sensible than I of the atate of things,. and that no one more sincerely laments it than i tlo ; and 1 am certain that if 1 had no motive or interest in this subject arising from my official situation, there is no person in the country who feels for its distress more acutely than the person who fills the situation which 1 have the honour to hold. The Noble Earl has said that, in the speech, the whole of the distress is attributed lo the stale of the seasons; but what is the statement of the speech upon that • object.' Without affecting to quote it literally, is it not in substance this?—" that, in considering the remedies to be applied to this state of things, you are to give due weight to the unfavourable state of the seasons, which has occasioned enormous expenses in collecting the harvest— and, which has, in fact, oc- casioned one bad harvest, if not another; so that the eullcction of it was excessively expensive." Surely these circumstances must not be overlooked in taking the suhject of distress into consideration. But besides the agriculturists, there is another class labouring under great distress — the manufacturers. I want to know whether the competition of machinery with labour in all departments of mechanics— the general application of steam— the competition abroad with our manufacturers— and the general imitation of our fabrics, have not produced very great distress amongst the manufacturers at home ? These are the circum- stances to which his Majesty refers as important to be considered in conncction witli the subject of distress, and they are those over which parliament has no controul. Can this house prevent competition from foreign markets with our own? Can we prevent ateam from being applied to foreign manufacture? And yet wc all know that this injurious competition is the ruin of the manufacturer, by lowering his wages. The Noble Earl opposite says that the distress is general, and universal, and unexampled am afraid that the distress is general, but at the same time there are some symptoms in the country which shew, notwithstanding the distress, that the country is advancing in prosperity. I say that this is proved by documents. If the exports of Great Britain have gone on increasing for some years— if they were greater last year than any former year— if the amount of our exports are now greater than ever they were before— I say, not only that these are the strongest symptoms of the prosperity of the country increasing, but that the distress cannot be so great and unex- ampled as the Noble Earl would make it. There is not a rail- road, nor a common road, nor a canal in the country, on which the traffic has not increased every year during the last few years, and particularly in the last yr ar. It may be true that there is a diminu tion of tlie manufacturers' profits— it may be trup that the profits are not so great as they were— but if there were no profit there would be no employment. The traffic was, however, unexampled, which could not possibly take place unless some advantage were derived from it. It is true that the advantages are not so great as they were ten or twenty years ago, Irut still there were advantages; and where sticb an extensive and increasing traffic exists— and where profit is derived from Ihe labours of men and ani- mals - there cannot lie surh extreme distress as the N hie Earl represents. There is another circumstance well worthy attention. There is a large class of retail dealers in tlris country— are they in distress? They fill every town, almost every village— they are enabled to pay large rents for fine new houses 1 ask if this be a sign of distress? Or is it a sign of dis- tress that they are able to build fine new houses in every pari of every town? These are facts, my Lords, and say what you please, they prove, notwithstanding the distress in some parts of the country, that, on the whole, the country is still rising in prosperity, and that there arc some persons not afflicted with distress. " Now, my Lords, I wish to say a few words ou the remedies proposed by the Noble Earl, who seems to. have completely misunderstood the arguments of my Noble Friend. The Noble Viscount stated that the revenue in 1815 was eighty millions sterling— that taxes were first of all repealed to the amount of eighteen millions, and afterwards to the amount of nine millions, making iu all twenty- seven millions; and he says that the revenue now produces in a sound currency as great an amount as it produced in A depreciated currency. Those persons who consume the articles which produce the revenue must be able to purchase them, or the revenue could not exist. The increase of the revenue is a proof then that consumption has increased full one- third since the time when the taxes were reduced. It is impossible that the country in which tlie revenue, in a period of fifteen years, has risen one- third, can suffer great distress. The Noble Earl who spoke last referred Ihe distress to a deficient currency. He, however, would have a | wper circulation. Now 1 will tell the Noble Earl that the largest amount of currency in circula- tion at any time during the Bank Restriction Act was £ 64,000,000 sterling. The Bank of England notes were £ 30,000,000; Cout. try Bank paper, £ 23,000,000; gold, £ 4,000,000; and silver, £ 7,000,000 But ill 1830, the amount of Bauk of England paper in circulation is £ 19,900,000; of Country Hank paper, £ 9 200,000; of gold £ 28,000,000; and of silver, £ 8,01 0,000; making a sum tofal of £ 65,100,000. It is certain, therefore, that there i » more money in circulat; on now than there was at any period of the Bank Restriction. There can be no want, therefore, of more currency. The Noble Earl, indeed, says he wants an extended currency; but what he in fact wants is not an extended currency, but an unlimited currency. He would give an unlimited power to cerlain individuals, not to the Crown, to coin as much money as they please. The Noble Lord wants to give them the power of lending as much fictitious capital to other individuals as they think proper. Thus, what the Noble Earl wants— what I say the country cannot have— without incurring that ruin from which it so narrowly escaped in 1S25— is an uulimited paper currency. If your Lordships will attend to the arguments of the Noble Lord, you will see that this is what he] wants. For what is the lan- guage he holds ? " In the West of England," be says, " I inquired, and found that the farmer could not borrow any money ; his eorn- yards and hay- ricks were full, but he was not able to raise money upon them, and why ? Because the conntry banks cannot coin one- pound notes." If these bankers, says the Noble Earl, cannot lend their money, they cannot gel any interest upon their capital. I beg his pardon. The banker may have discount upon cashing the farmer's bill; but be is not content with that profit, he wants to Ire coining notes And what is it tiie Noble Earl wants now, and will, perhaps, move for here in a few days? Not to increase the circulation, for thpre is as much now as at any former period, but to give certain persons power to lend as much money as they please upon land or no land, upon security or no security. I submit to your Lordships, that the Noble Earl has not proved the want of money— there never was a period when money was less wanted. Is there any man, however speculative— any scheme, however visionary, provided only it is a little plausible— which now- a- days lacks support? Is there any country, however bankrupt, even Portu gal and Brazil, though the creditors of these countries have been so ill- treated, but can borrow money in this city upon any security or no security? in fact, capital is more abundant now than it was ever known to be, and the evil is certainly not too limited a circulation. I am sorry to trouble your Lordships with these observations, which are rather replies to what had been sairl by the Noble Earl, and 1 will now pass to more important topics in his Majesty's Speech, namely, the measures which affect the permanent welfare of the country. In answer to all the declara- tions we have heard to- night, as to the evils resulting from free trade, and ( his system of currency, I beg to state to your Lordships only one fact. Since the year 1815, hut principally since the Bank Restriction was taken off, measures have been adopted by which this country has been relieved from £ 27,000,000 a year ( axes, besides £ 3,000,000 or £ 4,000,000 interest of the debt, representing a capital of 100 millions of debt. I beg you to bear this in mind when you are discussing this question; and 1 would tell the advocates of what is called an " equitable adjustment," that, with all their measures, they could not accomplish so much as that. 1 repeat, that since the Bank Restriction has been taken off, the country has been relieved to the amount of £ 9,000,000, and £ 18,0o0,000 besides. I wish to lake no credit to myself for this; I give it to those to whom it is properly due— to niv Noble Friend upon the cross- bench, and to ( he Noble Viscount ( Goderich) oppo- site; but I entreat your Lordships not to deprive the present Government, the present Administration, of the power of imitating them. We have adopted measures of economy which will hereafter be sub- mitted to your Lordships— measures for saving every shilling which is not absolutely necessary for the honour and defence of the country ; and we only desire that the same confidence may be placed in us as was placed in them, that we may be enabled to carry our plans of reform and cconomy into execu- tion." The Address was further supported by Viscount GOIIFRICH and the Marquis of L- ANsDOWNt ; and on a division the Amendment of the Earl of Stanhope was rejected by a majority of 71 to 9.— The Minority were— The Dukes of Cumberland, Richmond, and Newcastle; the Earls of Stanhope, Tankerville, Wincbilsea, nnd Radnor; and Lords Rivers and Norlliwick. HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. The Earl of DARLINGTON moved the Address lo His Majesty, which was seconded by Mr. WARD. Sir E. KNATCKBUI. L, after some observations on the various topics of Iho speech, anrl particularly that referring to the distress of the country, which he maintained was Under- rated, moved as an Amend- ment, to strike out that clause in the Address which affirmed the existence of a partial distress in the country, for Ihe purpose of inserting the following: — " Wc lament the existence of that distress which your Majesty informs us is confined to some places; but n the painful discharge of our duty, we are con- trained to declare to your Majesty, that that distress is not confined to some places as your Majesty has been advised, but is general among all the productive interests of the country, which are severely suffering from its pressure. We beg to assure your Majesty that we shall adopt the caution which your Majesty recommends in the consideration of the measures to lie adopted in reference to these interests, anrl that our earnest endeavours shall be employed to alleviate anil rc. nove the distress now so unfortunately exist- ing." The Marquis of FLANDFonD seconded the amend- ment. The circumstances of the country were such, that no half measures would now do ; no palliatives would now restore it— he would not say to a state of prosperity, but— to a state of healthful existence. But the just and necessary measures which the country had a right to expect, could not be looked for from a House of Commons in which the people had little confidence, and for which they had less respect. The seeds, of disaffection, discontent, and disgust were now widely sown ; and the House would seek in vain to check them, except by a speedy and temperate application of the first principles of the constitution.— Sir JOHN BRVDGES also supported the amendment. Mr. WESTFRN expressed his astonishment at that part of the Royal Speech which described the coun- try's distress to be merely of a partial or temporary nature. It was impossible the Noble Duke at the head of the government should not be informed that the distress at present prevailing was unprecedented, alarming, and of such a character as was never before known in the history of the kingdom. He conscien- tiously declared that the productive and industrious classes of the country— the labouring people— were in a state of misery never before equalled. The calamity was not of a temporary nature. The peo- ple's arduous struggle to maintain their position, which had been continuous during the last fourteen years, was at length wearing out their patience. Notwithstanding the prodigious efforts of the people of this country during Ihe course of the last war— a war which he had reprobated and opposed from the commencement— they were still left in a state of unprecedented power and prosperity, until Ministers, by a measure regarding the currency, rendered taxa- tion double the amount which it had been during the war. From that instant the colossal power of this country, which could not be entirely destroyed by the most mischievous legislation of the most unfortu- tunatv ministry, had been subject to a struggle more severe than any people had ever before endured. Unless Parliament felt for the people, and resorted to measures which would subvert those that had unfor- tunately been adopted, he looked forward to a con- vulsion the most terrible this country had ever sustained. He felt it to be bis duty to state his perfect conviction that the moral feelings and opinions of the great body of the people were fast undergoing an unfortunate change. They no longer felt the same feelings of respect for their superiors as for- merly— indeed, lie believed that that feeling was changed into contempt. Mr. PROTHEROE said that the complaints of the conntry were no longer reiterated from the old quarters, but that the hollow murmur of discontent was approaching the House in an awful manner. No person but the Hon. Member for Essex ( Mr. Western) had accurately described the dreadful state of the country. He thought that if Ihe House should adopt the address which bad been moved, it. would be a deliberate insult to the people. Mr. Waithman, Mr. Davenport, Mr. Maberly, Mr- O't'onnell, Mr. Hnskisson, Lord Althorpe, Mr. Duncombe, Mr. Rice, Mr. R. Palmer, and Mr. Brougham supported the Amendment. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCIII QUI R and Mr. PEKL contended for the original Address, on grounds similar to those urged in the other House by the Duke of Wellington. The Adrlress was further supported by Alderman Thompson, Sir John Sebright, Mr. Wolryche Whit- more, Lord Howick, Mr. William Smith, and Mr- Mi'dmay. On a division, the original Address was carried by a majority of 158 to 105.— No less than 27 County Members voted in the minority. HOUSE OF COMMONS— FRIDAY. On the motion for bringing up the report of the Address to His Majesty, Mr. SADLER, at considera- ble length, and with bis unrivalled ability, showed the fallacy of that statement which alleged that the distress of the country was but partial. Mr. J. WOOD also maintained that the pressure upon the country was universal, and that the people were never more impatient for relief. Mr. ATTWOOD said he valued not the present declaration or determination of Ministers ( bat the Currency should undergo no further alteration. No matter how strongly the pledge to the country bad been given, the currency must be altered, and many months would tot roll over their heads' before it would undergo a change, if Ministers so long con- tinued to bold the reins of power; pressed again by the same necessities, they would again adopt the same means of relief, by applying to the state banker; they might a » well attempt to regulate the heat of the approaching summer as to introduce a principle of certainty into the currency. The CHANOVI. LOR of the EXCHEQUER replied to ami comlwted the arguments and statements of Mr. Attwood ; he was glad that the object uf Hon. Members in supporting the amendment was. an en- deavour to alter the standard of the currency |! and he thanked the Hou. Member for his candour, hut he hoped the question was now permanently settled; The Marquis of BLA\ DF0RD moved a series of resolutions relating to reform, as an amendment iq the address, which, contrary to the opinion of several members who- urged him to defer his motion, .. was pressed to a division, anil rejected by 98. to 11.

The remains of this respected gentleman were Removed on Saturday, the 30th tilt, from his residence In Ludlow, lo be deposited with those of his ancestors sit Sihdon, of which parish he was the sole proprietor. It must have been highly gratifying to liis friends to observe the respect that was paid to his memory by all classes. The procession was joined by the whole of the resident membefs of the Corporation, including the Members for the Borough ( the Viscount Clive and the Hon. R. H. Clive). The shops of the different tradesmen, in the streets through which the procession had to pass, . were partially closed, and the greatest decorum was observed by a large conconrse of spectators, who had assembled in the streets. On the arrival of the procession at Sihdon, the churchyard was crowded to excess by the neighbouring farmers and cottagers, all anxious to pay the las^ tribute of respect to departed worth, anil who have been deprived of a sincere friend, and the town of Ludlow has to regret the loss of an excellent and valuable officer. Amongst the carriages that joined the pro- cession, were those of Ihe Earl of Powis, the Hon. R. H. CJive, M P. Lady Boyne, Edward Rogers, Esq. M. P. Dr. Adams, the Eev. John Hinde, the Rev. C. Swainson, J. E. Graham, Esq. & c. & c. Petitions have been prepared, under the direction i of the Committee, against the projected diversion of ' the Holyhead Road, as will be seen by the advertise- ment in a subsequent column ; and those who feel satisfied that the intended alteration of the line of road will be injurious to the interests of the Town and County of Salop, are strongly recommended to take an early opportunity of signing them. SURCHARGES.— The hearing of appeals against surcharges Under the Assessed Taxes Acts took place in this toivn on Wedtfesday and Thursday last, and were then adjonrned.— The Surveyor was floored in several of his surcharges; and some were confirmed that excited n6 little surprise.— One case, however, in which the surcharge was confirmed, will not occa- sion much wonder in these days, when Hats and ratting appear to be so much in favour:— A poor Rat catcher was surcharged for his three dogs. In vain did he urge that if he were charged with duty for these, which were, in fact, to him the indispensible implements of his occupation, he, being unable to pay, must apply to the parish for relief— two of the three Commissioners present decided that he must pay— the third, who is well known to have no par- tiality for the Rat species, was of a different, but unavailing, opinion, and the surcharge was established.

The business in both Houses of Parliament the evening was of a desultory and miscellaneous descrip. tion.— In the Commons, Mr HART DAVIS and Sir JOHN STEWART volunteered statements to show that the distresses of the country were but partial: they were, however, replied to, and contradicted, by intlu ential members front all parts of the Housp, who showed that the distress was almost universal, and most appalling. • K .' in1, - . .

B^ T* We have a lony: arrear of notices to Correspondents; and HS the last two or three weeks liave beeu rtiore than usually productive of communication*, we shall endeavour briefly to give an account, in some sort, of the objects of' a few of those by whom we have been addressed: and, as to " ionic of their views, we shall give our own opinion. ggf*' 44 A PARIsSniONKR OF ST. CHA D" recommends public attention to a portion of the Law of Settlement'; as to which, however we may be induced to coincide or otherwise in some of his opinions, we shall merely say, that if his suggestion were to be adopted generally throughout any district, the effect would speedily, be counteracted by other disfrictS adopting, the same step, as one of defence or retaliation / many of his observa- tions are , vcry just: but society is so framed, that it would be vain to suppose that any j> articular parish or . district could adopt generally such a system as he points out without being met by the same species of operation in other places, by which all the anticipated benefits would be neutralized. gcgf" 44 AN OVERSEER" complains that, in this period of suffering, when parish funds are so much in requisition, the expenses of relieving casual poor should be so much hud hn. necessarily increased by the cost of Orders:— in some Instances the Order to give a poor person one shilling is charged / wice the amouut of the relief given: in other casesshillings have been the expeuses of au Order, when the reliej. directed t<> be given has not amounted to that sum. In answer to 44 AH ENQCIRER," we believe U ;- has been recently decided, that the receiving a salary affao inferior officer, under any public trust, of. which by virtue of'his corporate capacity the party is a trustee and has a share in the appointment, does furnish ground for calling upon the radi- viuual to resign his situation in the corporation. •! • 44 Q,.

Corre- spondents allude. ; fgjgf1* It is not, we believe, generally known, that ninny of the poor persons, to whom the Committees extended relief fast week under the full assurance, from their own personal in- spection, that they stood in the utmost nerd of it, are; at this moment in a state of semi- imprisonment in their ^ mi& rable habitations, iu consequence of warrants of distress having be « Hi signed, at the procuration of the Committee of Management, for arrears of Street.

In her the church- has lost a consistent member, the teachers in lite school a valued fellow- labourer, and the sick poor a constant friend nnd visitor.

During the late severe weather, the Miss Kinastons, of the Crescent, in this town, gave upwards of 18 tons of coal to the poor persons on and in the vicinity of their estates at Ruyton- of- the- Eleven- Towns, & c. ill this county. The depressed state of the Iron Trade in South Wales, as mentioned in another column, is, we regret to say, only the counterpart of that which exists in the same important business in this county. The Lead Trade is also in a most depressed condition. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.— The Speech delivered by the Lords Commissioners, in the name of His Majesty, on the opening of Parliament, will be found in our 4th page.— From the events of the last year, and our experience of the system, which, contrary to our previous hope, the present Administration adopted on its accession to power, we had no expectation that there would be any thing in the Speech that could induce us to anticipate the speedy extrication of the country from its existing difficulties; and therefore, however we may regret that we have to make such a declaration, we are not of the number of the dis- appointed.— Wc knew, and told our readers so several weeks hack, there could be no remission of taxes under the present system : and we have it now, on the authority of the Ministers, that there will be no alteration in the Malt Tax, the Beer Tax, the Assessed Taxes, or any other Tax : — the Currency is to be left on its present footing, that is, it is not to be current: — ami the theory of Free Trade is to be persevered in. — We need go no further; but shall merely observe, that, notwithstanding the fact of general distress is as clear as that there is light at mid- day, the Ministers declare the distress to be but partial!—- The rent- roll of the landowner— the legers of the merchant and the manufacturer— the exhausted capital of the farmer—• and the books of the shopkeeper— give a fearful index to the distress of the country : aud portentous, therefore, is the document, which, emanating from those who . ought to interpose for the purpose of relieving Ihe country, advisedly denies what is indu- bitably true ; and which denial is deliberately per- severed in, and its validity further urged, by a majority of those who call themselves the Represent- atives of the Nation,— and who have not yet learnt the distinction between Capital and Currency ! Distressed and Unemployed Poor. A public meeting, to consider of the best method of relieving the poor of this town during the then existing seveie season, was convened by the Mayor, and held in the Exchequer Room of the Town Hall, on Wednesday last; and although, from the unusual appearance of the Requisition, as a Requisition for a Town Meeting, ( there being only the names of two constant residents affixed to it,) a numerous attend- ance could not be calculated upon; yet we were glad to see that, in the cause of benevolence, so many of those gentlemen who have on former occasions taken an interest in the welfare of the town, and in the comfort of their humbler neighbours, appeared to give their sanction to an assembly w hich had for its objcct the relief of the distressed and unemployed.— Among those present we noticed Thomas Pemberton, Esq. Colonel F. K. Leighton, Joseph Sutton, Esq. Joseph Loxdale, Esq. William F. gerton Jeffreys, Esq. General Letbbridge, Jonathan Perry, Esq. John Baker, Esq. with several of the resident Clergy, and other Gentlemen whose names appear in the list of subscribers. The Rcquisitionists were John WTing. field, Esq. William Lloyd, Esq Sir F. B. Hill, R. A. Slaney, Esq. VV. Clement, Esq. and John Eaton, jun. Esq. all or most of whom attended the meeting. In answer to a question put by Thomas Pemberton, Esq. it' was stated by Mr. John Eaton, that about £ 70 was in the hands of Messrs. Beck, Dodson, and Eaton, being the balance of a subscription for the relief of the poor in 1814; and a resolution was in consequence passed for calling together the sub- scribers to that fund, to give their consent to this balance being added to the fund now to be raised.— Some conversation took place as to the actual state of the poor of the town; from which it was adopted, as a result, that 500 persons were out of employment, many of them with families; and a subscription being immediately commenced for their relief, Mr. John Eaton announced, that in consideration of Messrs. Beck, Dodson, & Co. having had the balance of the former fund so many years in their hands, they would subscribe £ 20 on the present occasion.— Some judicious observations were made by Mr. Sutton, the Rev. F. Iliff, and other Gentlemen, whose names appear to the resolutions, as to the mode of administering relief, and the formation of committees, sub- commitlees, & c. for its distribution; anil as soon as the meeting was dissolved, the Committee pro- ceeded to business. At the meeting of the subscribers to the fund of 1814, on Friday last, the balance was directed to be added to the new fund, with the exception of an apportionment made to the Abbey Parish, the inha- bitants of which had, on this occasion, entered into a separate subscription for the relief of their own dis ttessed and unemployed residents. The Committees were, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, actively engaged in investi- gating the situation of the poor in the town and sub- urbs, and in distributing relief: and on Sunday the funds for the latter purpose were increased by col- lections made in several of the churches and other places of public worship : at the same time that the commencement of a rapid thaw, by reducing the number of the unemployed, lessened the subsequent calls for assistance; although, we fear, the flood now swelling the Severn may he the occasion of renewed distress to eotic poor families. WALTES. MARRIED. On the 6th inst. at Cerrig- y- druidion, in ill county nf Denbigh, Mr. Thomas Jones, eldest son of Mr. John Jones, of lite Lion Inn, lo Alice, elde. t I dnugliter of ihe late Mr. John Evans, of the Saracen's I Ili ad Inn, all uf that place. The birth of a son and heir to the House of Pen- gwern has been the occasion of much rejoicing on the extensive estates of Sir E. P. Lloyd, Bart, in the Principality.— In Kerry, Mr. Evans, of Glanmiheli, distributed a sheep, with bread, ale, & c. to his poor neighbours; and the principal tenants dined together on the occasion at the Herbert's Arms Inn. The Flintshire County Meeting, to take into con- sideration the existing state of the country, was held at Mold on Monday last, and was most respectably attended. — A petition to Parliament, deprecating the present chrrency system, and calling for a rigid system of economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure, was proposed by Sir John Williams, Bart, and seconded by F. R. Price, Esq. of Bryn- y- Pys, who observed, that it was not possible to read the Speech delivererl by the Commissioners on the opening of Parliament, without feeling indigAant at the indifference which Ministers manifested for the sufferings of the people.— The petition was further supported by the Hon. Lloyd Kcnyon, Sir E. P. Lloyd, Bart, and other Gentlemen, and was adopted by the meeting. THE WELSH IRON TRADE.— We regret, in pre- senting to our readers as usual, the quantity of Iron delivered by the respective Iron Works at Cardiff', during the year ending the 30th December last, to find that the great depression . of the trade has al- ready affected the Works in this county ( Glamorgan- shire), and that many furnaces are at this moment out of blast, and that, in all probability, more will follow, as the price of Iron is now so exceedingly low as really not to nett, when sold, the bare amount of cash paid for actual labour by the manufacturer to his workmen. The open and nominal price of Bar Iron delivered on board ship at Cardiff and Newport, is now only £ 5. 10s. per ton, six months' acceptance; and it is positively stated, that a commission or dis- count of money, of 5s. per ton, is farther allowed off this low price. The state of the trade is ruinous to those engaged in it; and, were not the consequences of stopping the Works altogether so injurious to the property of the master, and to the poor workmen and their families, there can be no doubt that a general suspension of the make of Iron would, at the present price, take place; and we fear that nothing short of a very diminished make, can at all restore the trade, for even at the price of £ 5. 10s. per ton, the demand is in no degree adequate to the present production of the article. The stocks on hand at the ports of Cardiff, Newport, Liverpool, Bristol, and London, are larger than ever known, and the demand is universally found less;— the present appearances of the trade is consequently most alarming to those engaged in it:— William Crawshay and Sons..,, The Dowlais Iron Company.. ^.

Since ihat time* however, circumstances have occurred which lefrd tcl the expectation that, though nearly £ t quarfe? Of a century Has elapsed since the commission of the crime, the arm of justice may yet overtake ofte ^ r more* of those who were implicated in lhat murder; Hemming appears to have been made away witJt within a few hours after lie had murclered Mr. Parker— thus speedily becorhing the victim of thjis^' who had tempted him to take away 1ftfc hTe of a fellow- creature t This case, wlien Considered in all its circumstances, is one of the tnost extraordinary that ever became { he. subject of judicial enquiry. The committal of Thomas Clones to ifrisori 6n Friday se'nnight, was mentioned in our last; and^ though he exhibited no symptoms of agitation at the time, the solitude of a prison and the dread of future? consequences, produced such an effect Upon hiip$ that on Sunday week, he made a Confession to the Revi Robert Clifton ; the consequence was, { hat on thfc afternoon of that day, two police- officers were dispatched to Hanbury, to apprehend George Banks, who was one of the witnesses examined on ihe FrU day preceding; and they conveyed him to the CoUnty Gaol in the course of the evening. On Tuesday morning, the Jury re- ass^ mbled ; and in the evening' iVTr. Smith, with the Jury, proceeded to the County Gaol, at ClewesTs request,- and heard his confession* which tfc subjoin. While detailing the dreadful facts* Clewes was perfectly calm, and manifested no agita- tation ; Mr Smith previously cautmfied hittl^ lhat a Confession would not exonerate him from furthef consequences.

Crtveritry, and the Rev. Robert Clifton, ( IVlagistrates,) were present. Clewes said, that he wished to make some admissions relative to the death of Richard Hemming.

Clewes went to Oddingfey about eleVpn o'clock the day, to Mr. Jones's ( who is since d, ead); as he wertt up the road side by Capt.

Clewes could no£ tell which way Hemming was laid, as he never stepped off the floor into the bay. At this part of the narrative, Clewes said, ' 1 thought I should have died wherd I was.' The Captain said to Taylor, ' Well done, boy, 1 will give thee another glass or two of brandy;' the Captain said to Clewes, ' 1 will give you any thing; damn your, body, don t you never split ;' they then parted, and the Captain darkeued his lantern ; Taylor, the Captain, and Banks, went towards Oddingley; Clewes went, to bed; the whole occupied alto- geth^ r not half an hour ; no clothes were taken off Herrfming, there was no time for that. Hemmin"; neither moaned nor groaned after he was struck ; Clewe'S did no't see any blood. Next day, 26' th June, Clewes was at Pershore fair; George: Banks came td him in the fair in the afternoon, abtfut four or five o'clock; and called him up the entry at the Plough, and said, • Here's some money for you,, what Hemming WHS to have had-/ Mr. John Barnett was With him; came with htm- and Banks and Barnett each of them gave him money, ready wrapped ' up,, in two parcels, aud said, • Be sure Vo'u never split ;' Clewesdid not count the money at that time; there was no more said about it; it amounted in all to aboflt, £' 26 or £- 27, all in bills, no silver; both ' Banks and Barrett saiu, > t was intended for Hemming; to enable him to get off. Clewe* was at the Caplain's a fSw days after ? th? latter seflt for h? m# by a son of Clewes, about Seven years old} the Captain sai<\ ' there's £ 5 at any time, if you keep your peace;' Cle « < « never, ftfeeiyed any money from him afterwffds. Mi a Catherine Banks came into the room the same day, and# taking Clewes by the coat with both hands, she went down on her knees, and begged and prayed that he would never say a word, a* She was fearful the Captain had been doing bad things, and was afraid,, if he spoke, some of them would come to he banged; (^ lewes promised he would never say any thing. The Captain had a sale on 23d June, This siile Clewes attended: the Captain asked him', * Dd you want any thing I if you do; 1 will mak£ you a present of a tritle j* Clewes pur- chased a black m. are at the sale, for about £' 22 In the even- ing of the sale, Mr. Handy asked hint to settle for the mare, when the Captain said to Mr. M. ' there's a settferaent be- twixt him and me, and I will settle for the mare;' the Captain never asked for the money. In nine Or teu days qffter Hem- ming was knocked on the head, the Captain wanted Clewes to Sut some soil in the barii where Hemming was buried, at etherwood ; iu- consequence, a gotjd many loads were hauled to the barn door, and'some were thrown over each bay, and in the other barn as well; afterwards, the Canfain asked Clewes if it was done; being told it was, he said lie was very glad of it; no- more was said about it afterwards. Mr. John Barnett lent Clew'fes £ 100 afterwards, part of which is now owing Clewes gave a bond or nole for it, and he might have had it if he had - applied in due tim* 1 to' Mr. YVaterson ; was sure it was lent after the murder of Hemming; be had money both before and afterwards. A little time after (. he parson was shot, Taylor was put into gaol for what Roe had said. The Captain and MisS Banks were much afraid for fear Clewes should tfcll j the Captain and Mr Barnetf were had up; the Captain asked Clewes to be bound by an oath, which he, as a Magistrate, would administer, but Clewes would not, George Banks did - not speak when in ihe barn ; Clewes fully thinks it was him ; he had on a smock frock j had never seen him in a smock frock before." In consequence of the confession, Mr. John Barnett, a farmer at Odding- I^ y* occupying the farui held by Clewes at the time of the murder, was Committed to the County Gaol on Tuesday night. The examination of witnesses was resumed on Wednesday and Thursday and the Inquest termin- ated at eleven o'clock on Thursday night, when the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder ( of Richard Hemming) against Thomas Clewcs and George Ranks, and of being an accessary to sveh murder before the fact agctinst John Burnett. The parties named were thereupon fully committed for trial at the next Assizes upon the Coroners warrant. The interest at tir* t excited by the evidence, was in a material degree gratified by Clewes's confession, which has divulged thf secrets of the " charnel house" to an extent ui< ti could never have been elicited from guilty and re- luctant witnesses. George Banks, whoso committal is mentioned afcoye,, and who, according to the confession, was an accessary, to the murder, is about 45; he manages a fikrm for a female at Hanbury, and possesses property.. Clewes failed a few years after Mr. Parker's mur- der, and is now in very reduced circumsianqes. The old man Taylor, whom Clears slates in his. confession to have taken so prominent a part in tiie horrible tragedy in his barn, has, been dead about 14 years. He was a farrier, and appears to have long lived in infamous notoriety im l) roitwich. About 40 years ago, he was tried for sacrilege in having stolen, the Communion plate fcom the church of Hampton. Lovett, but some erroneous technicality in the. description of the property* led to his acquittal. From that period, however, to the close of his guilty life, he always went by the nickname of the " Church- warden of Hamptun Lovctt." RendTesham House, in Suffolk, was on Tuesday night totally destroyed by fire. The damage is com- puted at £ 100,000, and no part of it insured. The Argyll « Rooms, in Regent- street, were on Friday night totally destroyed by fire.

Alexander, Gutch, and Marsden, proprietors of the Morning Journal, ap- peared in Court, to receive judgment, for the several libels of which they had been recently convicted— arte being a libel on the Lord < hancellor, the others libels calculated to firing tbe Government into con- tempt— Mr. Alexander now distinctly stated, on affidavit, that he never intended to allude to the Lord Chancellor, but ( hat his allusion was to the Duke of Wellington; and Mr. Humfrey, as his counsel, addressed the Court on his behalf. Affida- vits were put iit, giving Ihe highest character In Air. Gutch, who had no participation in the writing of the libels; ami . Mr. Pollock addressed the Court on his behalf.— Mr. Isaackson did not appear, and his re- cognizances were ordered to he estreated.— The Judges decided that Mr. Gulch should enter into his own recognizance to appear to receive judgment wiicn called upon; and that Messrs. Alexander and • Marsden should be brought up to receive the sen- tence of the Court on Wednesday, the 10th February . ( this day). THE PRESS IS GONE TO POT! whom we owe that scourge, have a monopoly of all the wisdom of the nation. But let us contrast the views of those enlightened persons with the antici- pations of the humble and almost unknown indivi- duals who presumed to differ from them. We shall find a fair specimen of both in the speech of Mr Huskissofi, ihe u facile princeps" of the free traders, in 1826 : the speech was published and circulated by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself >— " But, appeals have been made to our compassion ; and our feelings have been alarmed by the statement, < IiM above 500,000 individuals are at present engaged iu the silk trade, and that ruin must inevitably be entailed on this large and- meritorious class of the community, if the old law be not restored. " Now, supposing the number of persons employed in tbe siik manufacture to amount to 500,000,— their wages, I assume, cannot be less, one with another, than 10s. a- week for each person. I have been told, indeed, that a considerable portion of this number are children, some of whom do not receive more than Is. 6d. a- week.; and, for this pittance, the hours of work in the mills, when the trade was brisk, 1 have been assured, were, from five in the morning, till eight or nine at night. " If this be so, let us not, talk of the difference in the expense of labour, between this country and France. Will it be said, that a French child cannot earn, in the silk manufactory, one shilling and sixpence a week ; and that without working from fourteen to fifteen hours out of the four and twenty ? Certainjy not* Supposing, however, the average earnings of these 500,000 persons ^ an exaggerated number. 1 am Convinced) to he ten shillings a week, thirteen millions of money would then be the annual amount of wages alone in this manufacture. To this are to be added, the interest on capital, and the price of the raw material: so that the value of the goods could not be less than eighteen or twenty millions sterling. This, however, 1 consider too high a calculation. The Lords' Report estimates the whole amount at only ten millions; but allowing for increased eon- sumption since 1821, it may, perhaps, be fairly rated at twelve or fourteen millions, exclusive of the quantity smuggled in from the Continent. " If, then, fourteen millions of silk goods are about the annual consumption of this kingdom, what would happen, if, according to the predictions of the honour- able member for Taunton, the British manufacture should be annihilated after next July? We should not, I take it for granted, consume a les9 quantity of silk goods: the only change vtould be, that we should have them, as is alleged, of a better quality, and at a less price. But all the goods so consumed would, in this supposition, have paid a duty of thirty per cent, on their importation; and the produce of that duty, consequently, - would exceed four millions sterling. This lar^ e sum would be levied, without, in the smallest degree, abridging the comfort or enjoyment, of any other class of the com- munity. it would bring with it no increase of bur- then upon the consumer of silk goods, and conse- quently no diminution of his means of consuming other articles. It would simply be the premium of monopoly transferred to the Exchequer; and the capital, for which this monopoly was created, would be set free, to give employment to other branches of industry." may mention Macclesfield, Huddersfield, Shepton Mallet, Stroud, and all the manufacturing districts oj'Somersetshire aud Gloucestershire. In those towns situute in the centre of country districts having no manufacturing population, or next to uone, the destitution aud distress is not so severe as in the manufacturing places; but still, from the. depression of agriculture, and tbe severity of the season, the sufferings of numbers are very great; and subscriptions, have been opened- in almost every large town in England for the relief of the poor and unemployed. We perceive by the Scotch papers, that: the working classes are no better otfiu that part of the kingdom. imperial parliament. ( A MINISTERIAL PRINKING SONO.)

The silk trade is ruined ; the half million of human beings are starving, and helping' to starve their neighbours through the machinery of the poor rates : about these things there " can be no mistake." Where, Mr. Gouihurn, are the four millions of increased revenue ? We cannot find them in the last return, nor in those of the preceding year, nor of the year before that. Disburse these twelve millions, Mr. Goulburn ; they are the price of the miseries of Spit a ( fields, Macclesfield, Coventry, Con{> leton, and a hundred other places, once the abodes of cheerful industry and smiling peace— now the scenes of what we shall not venture to describe. We may repeat our call upon poor Mr. Goulburn, " until the crack of doom he can give us no account of the twelve millions : all he has to offer is a return of defalcations— an account of a declining revenue, illustrated by the explanation of the Brighton Guardian, that smuggling was never carried on upon so extensive a scale, or with sucb complete success upon the Sussex coast, as since Messrs. Huskisson and Peel ruined an important branch of British commerce, and turned over half a million of manufacturers, with their families, to the workhouse, in order, as it seems, to promote the sale , of French ( smuggled) silks in England. Distress of the Wor/ cintj Classes. FREE TRADE. To hear men speak, one would think that England had known nothing but misery like the present for the last sixteen years ; whereas the reverse is notori- ously the fact. With a greater load of debt, with taxes heavier than the present, we know that when- ever the economists have, even for a moment, taken their hands off, she has sprung up with an elastic promptitude, demonstrating that the pressure of those hands, and that pressure only, has kept down her energies. It were then folly, erring against the plainest light, to ascribe our present sufferings to any other causes than the new theories. Debt and taxes, and a restricted currency, may, and no doubt, do, aggravate the mischievous operation of these theories, as other ailments concurring with plague or fever diminish the chances of recovery ; but we know that debt and taxes, and a restricted currency, do not alone neces- sarily- produce such calamities as we witness, because we have found them consistent with a state of pro- sperity ; and therefore, though no doubt some modi- fication of each or all of them would go a great way to promote a cure, they are not the master disease with which it is right to grapple in the first place. If the ruinous consequences of the free trade system had not been foreseen and foretold, there might be some excuse for pretending that the dis- tinguished members of the House of Commons, to The papers from all parts of the kingdom teem with most melancholy details of the distress of the Working Classes, many thousands of whom are represented ( in the northern districts more espe cially) as being wholly destitute of bedding, clothing, fire, candje, or food, except what they receive at the hands of the charitable and humane. Jn the Metropolis, almost all the police offices are daily thronged with paupers complaining that the parish officers refuse to give them relief. In reply it is stated, that it is scarcely possible to get in rates sufficient to meet the demands— that distress exists to a degree truly alarming— that almost every parish in the metropolis is suffering dreadfully from the pressure of the times*— and that hundreds are nearly perishing from want every day, many of whom have been rate payers themselves. At Blackburn, it appears by the books of the visitors that there are 2,292 families, comprising 11,360 individuals, whose whole income, including parochial relief, amounts to the sum of £ 950.12s. lid. ( about one shilling and seveupence per head per week), out of which they have to pay for food, fire, candles, rent, & c. At Leeds, the distress is extreme, and benevolent associations have been for some weeks past active in their efforts to alleviate the distress which pre- vails in that town and its vicinity. Thursday week the sum of £ 251. 10s. 6d. was voted as four weeks' relief to 458 families, or 1661 individuals, whose aggregate weekly income was previously no more than £ 48. 0s. lid.; and the claims of 68 poor families were rejected, not because they were not sufiering, but because they happened to be impro- per objects, according to the rules which the com- mit ( ee h. tve found it expedient to lay down for their government. Since Thursday, no less than 541 ad- ditional families, embracing fully 1800 individuals, have been reported by the inspectors ; and yet those who have an income of only 2s. a week are passed over as persons who have no claim! The subscrip- tion lately raised is nearly exhausted ; the supply ou hand is said to be not more than sufficient for another week's relief— A correspondent of the f. ceds Intelligencer states that he visited 72 dwel- lings, in which he found 151 idle looms, which have he u HO on an average 37 l- 3rd days each, and only nine looms partly employed. In these 72 dwellings were 316 persons, w hose whole income, exclusive of charitable aidj is no more than 2^ d. and a small fraction to each pet sou for their weekly support! In some places, where the inhabitants are unable to afford more substantial relief, soup is distributed to the poor, for which, in some cases, they pay a trifling sum.— At Wigan they are supplied at a half- penny per quart. The quantity distributed is 900 gallons per week.— Great quantities of soup are w eekly furnished to the indigent of Reading and its neighborhood, by public subscription and private benevolence.— The daily delivery of soup at YVorces- ter has averaged 1500 quarts. On Friday a penny loaf was added to each quantity of soup, and upwards of 1500 were distributed.— At Birmingham, a few days ago, a numerous meeting was held, when sums were voted for the immediate supply of clothing, fuel, and food to the poor, out of a public subscrip- tion.— At Lichfield, upwards of £ 400 has been raised by subscription; and in the course of the last few days, coals have been distributed among upwards of one hundred, and bread to nearly eight hundred poor families.— A very handsome subscription has been raised by the inhabitants of Uttoxeter, for the purpose of providing the poor with coals and soup, and on Tuesday last 417 families received a supply o coals. Coventry continues in a wretched state; thou- sands are literally starving. The poor rates are at twenty shillings in the pound; aud the payments for casual out- door paupers are about six times greater than they were in 1827, to the working people; persons iu respectable ranks of lite, w ho themselves have been iu the habit of contributing to the poor, not only find themselves unable to continue their contributions, but are, in many instances, actually obliged to apply for relief themselves. But the distress is not confined to Coventry ; it is quito as great iu other manufacturing towns. We HOUSE OF LORDS— THURSDAY. This day being the day appointed for the meeting of Parliament for the dispatch of business, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and other Peers, named in the commis- sion for reading his Majesty's Speech, entered the House soon alter two o'clock, and took their s£ at3 upon the woolsack. In a shi rt time, the Speaker of the House of Com- mons, followed by several Members, approached the Bar, when the Royal Commission was read ; after which the Lord Chaucellor read the following Speech:—• " My Lords and Gentlemen, " We are commanded by His Majesty to inform you, that His Majesty receives from all Foreign Powers ihe strongest assurances of their desire to maintain and cultivate the most friendljj relations with this country. " His Majesty has seen with satisfaction that ihe war between Russia and the Ottoman Porte has been brought lo a conclusion. The efforts of His Majesty to accomplish the main objects of the Treaty if the 6th July, 1S27, have been unremitted. " His Majesty, having recently concerted with his allies measures fur the pacification and final set- tlement of Greece, trusts thai he shall be enabled at an early period to communicate to you the par- ticulars of this arrangement, with such information as may explain the course which His Majesty has pursued throughout the progress of ihese important transactions. " His Majesty laments that he is unable to an nounce to you the prospect of a reconciliation between the Princes of the House of Braganza. " His Majesty hus not yet deemed it expedient to re- establish, u]> on their ancient footing, His Majes- ty's diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Portugal ; but the numerous embarrassments arising from the continued interruption of these relations, cncrease His Majesty's desire to effect the termination of so serious an evil. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " His Majesty has directed the estimates for the current year to be laid before you. They hare been framed With every attention to economy, and it will be satisfactory to you to learn that Hit Majesty will be enabled to propose a considerable reduction in the amount of ihe public expenditure, without im- pairing the efficiency of our naval and military est ab I i shine n is. " We are commanded by His Majesty lo inform you, that although the Nutional Income during the last year has riot attained the full amount at which it has been estimated, the diminution is not such as to cause any doubt as to the future prosperity of the Revenue. " .)/(/ Lords and Gentlemen, " His Majesty commands us to acquaint you, that his attention has been of late earnestly directed to various important considerations connected with improvements in the general Administration of the Law.— His Majesty has directed that measures shall be submitted for your deliberation, of which some are calculated, in the opinion of His Majesty, to facilitate and expedite the course of Justice in different parts of the United Kingdom, and others appear to be necessary preliminaries to a revision of the practice and proceedings qf the Superior Courts. — tVe arc commanded to assure you, that His Majesty feels confident that you will give your best attention and assistance io subjects'!)/ such deep and lasting concern to ih>' well- being of his people. " His Majesty commands us to inform you, that ihe export in the last year of . British produce and manufactures has exceeded that of any former year. " Ilis Majesty laments that, notwithstanding this indication of active commerce, distress should prevail among ti e agricultural and manufacturing classes in seme parts of the United Kingdom.— It would be most gratifying to the paternal feelings of His Majesty to be enabled to propose for your consideration, measures calculated io remove the difficulties of any portion of his subjects, and at the same time compatible with the general and permanent interests of his people.— It is from a deep solicitude for those interests, that His Majesty is impressed with the necessity of acting u- ith ex- treme caution in reference to this important subject. " His Majesty feels assured that you will concur with him in assigning due weight to the effect of unfavourable seasons, and to the operation of other causes, which are beyond the reach of legislative controul or remedy. " Above all, His Majesty is fully convinced that no pressure o f temporary difficulty will induce you to relax the determination which you have uniformly manifested to maintain inviolate the Public Credit, and thus to uphold the high character and the per- manent welfare of the country." CALTION TO MOTHERS AND NURSES.— About nine weeks since, a child of Mr. John Webb, of Trowbridge, was atacked with a complaint which was thought to he the croup; and the usual reme- dies— as btislerhig, leeches, & c. were resorted to. Still the child became worse— for which) however, a pretty substantial reason call be assigned. On a minute examination of the throat, a hard substance was discovered, which was speedily extracted, and proved to be " neither more nor less" than a wooden cup and saucer, such as children play with, and which measured au inch and 6- 16ths in diameter.— Sir. nte to say, these extraueous substances had been todaiusj in the throat of the child for eight weeks aud three Hays ! Much interest has lately been excited by the revival of an old custom well known and practised in North America, where the winters are much more (. evere than iu this country. It is more than half a century pliiee the Americans were in the habit of throwing salt into their common oaken pumps to liberate their flozeu pump- box. The vulgar im- pression was, that salt was of a very heating nature, and, like hot embers, wonld thaw the ice. It is now become » ery commoiij and found very convenient fo make lise Of salt for dissolving snow and ice on the sideways; but many of the recent explanations have been ijuite as absurd as the above, and more obscure, l. ike all other of Nature's operations, tbe true cause is extremely simple. It is known that icfc and salt have not so great a capacity for heat as liquid water. The thermometer no more indicates the specific quantity of heat iu different bodies, than the lady's diamond necklace indicates the depth of her lord's purse. Now, water al 32 tem- perature will disengage 140 degrees of heat before it will chrystallize. This is known by the following experiment;— Let one pound ol" ice at 2' 1 degrees temperature be immersed iu one pound of water at 140 degrees temperature, aud when the ice is com- pletely dissolved, the whole will be at a tempera- ture of 30 degrees, evidently showing that 140 dear, of heat had entered the pound of ice to cause it to become a liquid. Salt has also less capacity for heat thaii water, though how much less I cannot precisely say ; but to understand the operation of salt melliug ice, it is not important. Strong brine will rctuiiiu liquid until its temperature has settled below zero. Such is the strong attraction between ice and suit, that they will become a liquid, if tbe temperature of the atmosphere is above the freezing point of brine— say if above zero. This being the case, as soon as the salt is brought in contact with the ice or snow, liquefaction commences, aud the heat is borrowed from the atmosphere and sur- rounding bodies. This operation continues until liquefaction is complete, which, together with the atmosphere, becomes of the same temperature. A coroner's inquest was held on Saturday on the body of Mr. Tierney. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God, from An enlarge- ment of the heart." DOWNFALL OF BOXING.— The Retford Epiphany Sessions being held last week, great interest was excited as to the fate of the principals and seconds connected with the late affair at Allerton; and little mercy was expected at the hands of that Magistrate whose authority had been disregarded when his intention vvas intimated to the pugilists by his peace- makers, that the fight should not take place. How- ever, the men were all at their post, in order to sur- render themselves according to their recognizances— Hid on the names being called over, Philip Sampson, Richard Hill, Yorkshire ( or Matthew) Robinson, and James Mapping, appeared u with all their blushing honours thick upon them." All looked cheerful, and the Court was well filled, the Rev. Mr. Rudd sitting as chairman. The indictment was then read over, charging each of them with a breach of the peace and riot, & c. when they all pleaded guilty to the charge ; and on being asked what they had to say why they should not receive the judgment of the Court, Yorkshire Robinson stated that he had come from Edinburgh entirely at his own expense, and had suffered much already. Philip Sampson stated bis intention to renounce the practice either of principal or second for the future. Dick Hill and Mapping both said they had not any wish to disobey the Magistrates, but the crowd would not let them go without lighting. The Connsel for the prosecution expressed bis entire satisfaction at their conduct in surrendering and pleading guilty, and hoped the Chairman would be as lenient in the sentence as circumstances would admit. The Rev. Mr. Rudd then addressed them : he stated that it was the deter- mination of the higher authorities to abolish the noxious system of prize- fighting, and the Lord Lieu- tenant of every county throughout His Majesty's dominions had WRITTEN ORDERS to click every firoceeding of this description, that might take place within his jurisdiction. The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoners should severally be imprisoned in the House of Correction, at Southall, for the space of one calendar mouth, and at the expiration of that time enter each into his own re- cognizances to keep the peace for the space of two years. The defendants were then removed from the bar iu the custody of the officers. SHERIFFS FOR 1830. SHROPSHIRE— Rowland Hunt, of Borenttoh Park, Esq.

THE EFFECT OF THE EXPANSION OF IRON USED IN BUILDING.— In some situations ( as lately was seen In the beautiful steeple of Bow Church, in London) where the stones of a building are held togefher by clamps or bars of iron with their ends bent into them, the expansion in summer of these clamps will force the stones apart sufficiently for dust or sandy particles to lodge between them ; aud then, on the return of winter, the stones not being at liberty to close as before, will cause the ends of the shortened clamps to be drawn out, and the effect increasing with each revolving year, the structure will at last be loosened, and m^ y fall. We had the singular narrative from a lady, lately from Delhi, she having had it from an officer who w itnessed the fact, ( hat a Jat warrior appeared on the walls of Bhurtpore during the storm, very con- spicuous for his dress and resolute demeanour. A mine, which had been previously driven, sprung under his feet as the storming parly advanced, tiis figure was seen distinctly projected some height in the air, and again precipitated into the ditch. To the astonishment of the spectators, the hero rose again, rushed up the steep, entered the bl each with the King's J4th regiment, cheered by the applauding soldiers, who cried out to save him by all means. But he would not be saved; he turned upon the Europeans, and fought in the midst of them till he fell! We are not aware that there is an incident in the history of war to match this. Arnold de Wiukelried made a path for his Swiss companions into tbe middle of the Austrian men at arms by making fast four or five lances in his own bosom; but there was about this hero of Bhurtpore a power, as well as patriotic devotion, almost superhuman.— Asiatic Journal. NEWMARKET.— In au article entitled " Statistics at Random," we find the following respecting the town of Newmarket, which may not provealtogether uninteresting:—" The staple trade of the town of Newmarket is blood horses— its inhabitants for the most part jockeys and gamblers, aud its amuse- ments, or rather business, an endless succession of matches on the Race- course, in the Cock- pit, the Tennis- court, the Billiard- room, or at the card table. About three hundred horses are reared and trained in the year; and at every little interval four thousand pounds or guineas are asked aud given for one crack racer. From 500 to 2000 is accounted rather a common price, aud the money paid to grooms and their attendants, to say nothing of the corn and hay consumed and wasted, would far exceed belief if accurately stated. There are few people in the town who do not speculate less or more in the way of betting ; and so infectious is Ihe feeling, that even little children learn to lisp about the pedigree of horses, the long odds, and the characters aud comparative merits of the riders, 1 here are seven weeks of racing in tbe year— three in May, one in July, and three in October; and during these busy periods tbe usual current of conversation is so much a mystery to ihe uninitiated, that a stranger would be exceedingly apt to sup- pose that the chief end of man was something very different from what is set forth iu the Shorter Catechism. Winter is Ihe season of cock- fighting; and then so many matches are made, and mains fought, that poor Chanticleer, provided he could speak, might well moralize on the miseries of his tribe, and uddress his persecutors in the language of tbe proverb—' What is sport lo you, is death to At the meeting of the county of Cumberland on Tuesday, at which the High Sheriff presided, a peti- tion was agreed to, the prayer of which is as follows i — That your petitioners cannot contemplate the en. hanced value of money, occasioned by the suppression of the small paper currency, and the adoption of ti high gold standard, unaccompanied by a proportioned reduction of taxation, without entertaining an earnest desire that your Honourable House would be pleased to institute an inquiry whether these measures may not have caused the distress, which fills the natiori. with alarm ; and whether the addition to the value of money be not also a corresponding addition to all incomes drawn from the public purse, and to all taxes borne by the people. And they would further pray for a repeal of the malt and beer duties. ENGLISH POLICY.— We have been for fifteen years trying expedients in finance, in economy, in commerce; this is what in common life is called making shifts, aud the shifty process is, we believe, as universally unfavourable to the developement of talents as to the accumulation of wealth What cart we expect from statesmen bred in such a school but weakness and crookedness, and this is just what we have. The Country, however, is beginning to sea this. Like Ephraim JenkinsOn in the Vicar of Wake- field, we are finding out that with all onr ingenuity we have been very great blockheads; and that had we, like farmer Flamborough, adhered to a steady, consistent, and domestic course, we should have been now rich and happy, instead of being what we are. A better day is dawning; and, with the restoration of a simple, Consistenf, and English system of policy, we may expect to see the re- appearance of British statesmen and of a British spirit in a British House of Commons.— St. James's Chronicle. ftltsccUaufouB EtmiUgencf. LORD BYRON AND HIS PET BEAR. IRELAND.— The election of a Representative for Limerick has given an opportunity for a new display of the intentions of those who have long been labour- ing in " the good cause."— The candidates were Col. O'Grady and Mr. Massy Dawson.— One of the sup- porters of the former was the Rev. Michael Fitz- gerald, Roman Catholic Priest of Askeaton, who pub- lished a printed circular addressed to the electors, of which the following is an extract:— " Some very wise gentlemen have got the idea into their heads, that since Emancipation has been ob- tained, the Catholic Priesthood are under an obliga- tion, ' from and after the passing of the said Act,' to keep their months hermetically sealed on all subjects of politics. Now, I beg to inform these sapient gentlemen, that they were never more mistaken in their lives. The Catholic Priesthood, unpensioned, unfettered by domestic tics, devoted ardently and enthusiastically to the interests of the democratic classes, are, perhaps, the most truly independent and disinterested of all politicians. The Emancipation of the rich and srrcat has been achieved— but the Emancipation of the poor, an Emancipation far more desirable and important, remains yet behind. They still want Emancipation from Tithes, from Church Rates, from Grand Jury Jobbing, from the Fraud and Hypocrisy of Kildare- Street. They still want the Repeal of the Subletting Act, of the Vestry Act, and a legal provision for the poor and helpless;— will it be expected that the Catholic Clergy, the natural friends of the poor class, will not strain every nerve ( o attain those objects, and how can those objects be so surely obtained, as by taking an active and influ- ential part in the Election of Representatives, and in all things connected with the Representation ?" We need scarcely add that, under the patronage of this worthy Priest and others of his compeers, Colonel O'Grady won the election! DLTIF. S OF THF JUDGES.— That no person may run away with the idea that the duty of the judges consists simply in sitting sixty- four days in the year, it is as well to mention that the two circuits occupy, in addition, eleven weeks on an average; that the three judges of the King's. Bench, sit for terra business, out of term, about forty- three days per annum ; and that the Chief Justice's sittings for trying causes at Nisi Priusin London and Middlesex, occupy about one hundred and twenty- six days; that three judges sit iu the Court of Delegates, iu Sergeant's Inn Hall, Rbout ten days ijV the'year; that three or four judtrcs attend two days in the year, at Serjeant's Inn Hall, on tax cases; that two judges attend the Old Bailey, at the eight Sessions, about four or five days; that the winter Home Circuit, for trial of prisoners, occupies two judges about tweuty- one days; that two judqres are occupied about twenty days on private bills, referred to them from Ihe Houses of Parliament for their advice. To which duties, must be added, not ( infrequent attend- ances in the House of Lords, when summoned to irive their opinions on law questions, and Ihe occa- sional attendance of the three chiefs of the courts at hi « . Majesty's Privy Counoil.— Quarterly Review. It is well known that the young poet had a favourite bear^ they were remarkably partial to each other. One of his lordship's great delights was englove, and spar at Ursa, till the poet became tired and Ursa iriitated; for though generally a tame docile quadruped, he was muzzled for fear of accidents. His lordship was suddenly called down to Not- tinghamshire ; lie had taken places for " two gen- tlemen" in a northern mail, in the names of Byron aud Bruin: ' twas a dark November night— the friends arrived in Lombard- strtet in a hackney coach a little before eight.' The off- door of the mail, at his lordship's demand, was opened, Byron placed his own travelling cap on Bruin's head, and pushed him into the " vehicle of letters," followed, and immediately made him squat on Ihe seat, look- ing as " demure as a Quaker in a brown upper Benjamin." They occupied the whole of the back ; aud it so happened that the two B's ( Byron and Bruin) were the only passengers who started from the Post Office. At Islington they took iu a third, a retired Cit. : he was a quidnunc! a cockney! and a tailor! Old Snip's V's aud W's ii' his short dialogue with the door- opening guard was quan. suff. for Byron— a pleasant companion for an educated peer, young, proud, and splenetic! The bear's instinct pleased, but the Cockney's reason was emetical. Not a sound was heard within till ascending Highgate- hill. Alas! what is sciatica or gout compared to the iufiiction of silence on an old garrulous tailor ? Snip took advantage of tlie'hill— hemmed thrice, and broke silence with—" Veil, sir ; a bit of nice noose in this here mornin's paper— vot d'ye think of them goings on of that cowardly rascal Bonei/ part!" A pretended snore " loud and deep," was his lordship's only reply to the Cockney quidnunc's attack on the " great soldier !" Snip was dead beat by the snore— he turned with disgust from his supposed sleeping opponent, and cast a longing eye towards the quiet gentleman iu the fur cap in t'other corner, and re- opened his " vomitory of vociferation" with—" Hem! a nice bit of road this here, sir, jest to vetstun.—( No answer!)— He's a deaf'un, perhaps;" and in a louder key he re- commenced—" A very dark cold night this here, sir !" Like Brutus over Caesar's body, Snip paused for a reply, while the embryo peer, to smother a laugh, was obliged to issue a tremendous snore that alarmed his quiescent friend Bruin. The ear- hurt Snip eased off from his snoring lordship towards the supposed deaf gentleman, and, bent on conversa- tion, was determined to bave an answer; and, in defiance of Chesterfield, sought to seize a breast button, but encountered nothing but fur. " Ah! sir," bawled Snip, " this here's a wery nice varm travelling coat ofyour'n." Receiving uo reply but a growl and a snore, Snip, in despair, gave his tongue a holiday— and slept. Aurora's early beams had already peeped into the coach windows, when he awoke to uuthought- of horrors ; for the first object which caught his sight was Bruin's head, with muzzled mouth but glaring eyes, within three feet of his own boiled gooseberry goggles. " My God!" he exclaimed," tbe deaf gentleman in the nice vaiin travelling coat is a real live bear!— Help! murder! coach! stop!" roused the slumber- ing guard. 41 Let me out!" shouted Snip, aud out he went; and the poet and his pet were left in full possession of the interior, while Snip measured the seat of the box for the rest of his journey. The Way Bill is still extant, though not " writ- ten in choice Italian," as Hamlet says, but in Lad- lane English; and the story is known, and still told, by many an old whip on the northern road. It is confidently stated that the lady of an Irish Baronet is shortly to make her appearance on the boards of one of the metropolitan theatres, and that the character she will first sustain is that of Lady Macbeth. As the matter can scarcely be a secret, and as we do not suppose that the feelings of any party can be outraged by having the whole of the facts made public, we do not hesitate to state that the lady alluded to is the wife of Sir James Ander- son, Bart, late a banker in Fermoy, county of Cork, aud the sister of Sir Robert Shaw, late member of parliament for the. city of Dublin, aud at present a banker there. It is said ( and we feel assured that such is Ihe fact) that pecuniary embarrassments, arising from the failure of certain speculations in steam- carriages, by which her husband has been irretrievably involved, have induced the lady to adopt a course, upon the wisdom aud propriety of which, there will, undoubtedly, be two opinions. It is not many years since the Anderson family were considered to be ranked among the most wealthy in Ireland ; and their splendid style of living and boundless hospitality have supplied themes of conversation, and not unfrequeutly of astonishment, to the thousands of visiters by whom their houses were honoured when chance or invita- tion brought them to Buttevant or Fermoy. About twelve or thirteen years ago, the late Sir John Anderson, father of Sir James, failed as a banker, and, from th'at day to the present, his family have been, we believe, struggling with pecuniary diffi- culties, or have been, at all events, placed iu a very different situation to that which they formerly held. Sir James Anderson ( who had been an extensive mail- coach proprietor) embarked Ihe scattered remnants of his property iu a speculation to run a steam- catriage between Dublin and Cork. This unhappily failed, aud the consequence was, we apprehend, the utter ruin to his prospects in life. Lady Anderson is the mother to several children— her person is remarkably fine and commanding— her manners graceful and dignified— and her coun- tenance handsome and expressive. Iu tbe ex- ternal requisites for the stage she is, therefore, by no means deficient; and to these advantages she undoubtedly adds those of a highly- cultivated mind. Her friends— who it must be allowed speak of her present plan in terms of deep regret— describe her as most estimable in private life, and assert that she has resolved to sacrifice every sentiment of pride for the sake of her children— that her resolution has been formed with no other view— that she has been actuated by no other motive. THE NAMELESS MARQUIS.— During the preva- lence of certain opinions, or rather decrees, as to the abolition of all titles, except that of " citoyen," at the commencement of the French Revolution, a gentleman ( a " country gentleman," it should seem,) presented himself at the gates of Paris, where it was the custom to ask the name of every person entering: the following dialogue ensued :— " What is your name, citizen ?" " Monsieur le Marquis de Saint Cyr." " Monsieur! The word is no longer French." " Ah, pardon! I am called the Marquis de Saint Cyr." " Marquis .' Marquisates are abolished." " Ah, true— I remember; de Saint Cyr is my name, then." " De! We know nothing about de before the names of citizens, now." " In that case, my friend, call me Saint Cvr— short." " Saint.' the Nation has abolished all saints " Well, then, I suppose I must be reduced to plain Cyr at last; call me Cyr." " Sire ! Bah !— there are no longer any sires.' And thus was tbe poor Marquis left literally nameless. To ALL INTERESTED IN AGRICULTURAL Pun SUITS.— We have lately had an opportunity of examining an admirable work, just published, for the use of farmers, and indeed for all who take a delight in the tillage of land, and breeding of cattle; with such a work as this by him, tbe agriculturist lias an oppor- tunity of knowing the practice of the different dis- tricts of England and Scotland, and thus getting useful hints on all subjects most interesting to him, particularly on the preparation and application of manures, irrigation of meadows, drainage of land, instructions for buying, breeding, rearing, and fatten- ing of cattle;— the stable management of horses, directions for the best breeds of live stock, treatment of their diseases, & c.— management of cows and ewes during the critical times of calving and yeaning; general economy of a grass farm, culture and relative value of artificial grasses, the best plants for fodder, preparation of food in severe winters, management of the dairy, of pigs, & c. The work is called " The Complete Grazier, or Farmer and Cattle Breeder, and Dealer's Assistant." It appears to « s to be also extremely useful to landlords in affording them the information most desirable in transactions with their stewards and tenantry. Numerous engravings of cattle, sheep, pigs, farming implements, & c. are scattered through the book. DIED. On Saturday, the 23d ult. in the 65th year of his age, Henry Soinemlle, Esq. M. D. of Slufl'ord. His valuable labours at the County Infirmary, and bis gratuitous advice at bis own house and at their humble ellings, peculiarly endeared him to the poor. His remains were on Friday interred in the Chancel of Si. Mary's Church, Stafford. The funeral, which was unostentatious, was attended voluntarily, as a mark of their respect, by the medical gentlemen connected with the Infirmary and with the Cotinty Lunatic Asy- lum. On the 20th ult, in the 7Is( year of bis age, Mr. Joseph Firnistone, of llighfields, near Bilslon. Mr. Firnistone may be considered as one of the fathers of tbe Iron Trade, to which he rendered irnicli service ; and the following, which are some of the most prnmi* nent features of his life, as connected with that trade, may be beneficial lo the rising generation.— He com- menced his career at Dowlars Ironworks, in Smith Wales, under bis relative, Mr. Guest, ( grandfather t » Ihe present proprietor of those works, and member for lloiiiton). At that time tbe Dowlais Furnace was blown hy a very indifferent water- wheel, and was subject continually either to be flooded or iii want of water, tbe supplies from the Tnaf being very un- certain and irregular ; it was then like l( Ihe infant puking in his mother's arms," when compared with ihe present giant strength of that concern.— He was actively employed for many years in Wales, and Re- quired a thorough knowledge of the Iron Trade, ( at ieast, so far as it « as then known) He is snpposed to have had u better knowledge of tbe boundaries of the mines belonging to each Ironwork, local customs, aud privileges of those works, than any other man now in existence, and was, of course, often referred to. A little time before be left Wales tbe puddling process was tried ; ihe manner in which it was done being without either practical or scientific knowledge, a had quality was produced, and it was condemned. Pud- dled iron was first made from the pig. Mr. Flrmstone conceiving an idea, that melting ihe pig iron first, before it was puddled, wonld deprive it of some of its impurities, and thereby refine il, suggested ihe idea to Mr. Samuel Homfray, who, with his usual quick- ness, instantly put il into practice, by merely melting the pig iron in the Finery ( sucb as was ihen used for making a malleable iron), and running it out on the floor without any mould, grey as it was—( hence Ihe names of Running. out- fire and Refinery). This iron was puddled, and the qunlity of the wrought iron was innch improved by it; and this was ihe first cause of iron being refined, and led to tbe present more im-. proved process. He went into Staffordshire nhout this time, and being consulted by Mr. Johnson, of Bradley Works, he frankly communicated to him all the infor. illation he could relative to this process, suggesting at the same time several improvements. When he ar- rived al Ihe Deepfield Works, he fou nd the furnace making about seventeen tons per week of very in. different iron; and upon enquiry, found the other furnaces in the neighbourhood to be doing very little better, and hone using less than ten tons of coal to make a ton of pig iron, lie very soon made a great alteration at the Deepfield, augmenting the quantity at first to about 30 tons per week, and afterwards to fifty, at about one- half ihe former cost. This excited a spirit of emulation in the managers of th ® other works, aud gave such an impelus to them, that it may - be said a new era at that instant commenced in the infantine Iron Trade of Staffordshire. This advanced the trade in improvement many years, and probably may be ranked as one of the great causes of the pre. sent extensive stale of that trade in Staffordshire.— This gentleman had retired from trade for about twenty- five years, and was much respectcd by all who knew him.
