As facta and figures nre valuable to every practical man, wc feci it right, on the important subject of protection to British- grown Wool, to give the observ- ations of Mr. Healy, at the Rein Deer Inn, Lincoln, on the evening of the day of the County Meeting. Mr. Healy said, it was with diffidence that he offered a few crude observations ; but many graziers had come from a distance who expectcd that some discussion relative to their situation would take placc, that thev might bate an opportunity of endeavouring, as far as lay in their power, to discover where the shoe pinched. In the extensive county of Lincoln, there were soils of every description, and to the occupiers of all of them the prices of wool were of the greatest importance, and at the present day most ruinous. They ought, ( herefore, to inquire how such a state of things had arisen. When he was in Smith field two or three weeks ago, a salesman pointed out to him some fine Lincolnshire wethers, weighing 15 or 16 stone each, which sold for a mere trifle, and he attributed the depression in their value to the low prices of wool, hides, ftnd fat; in previous years the hide Of any similar sheep would have fetched f) s. Bd. whereas it now only brought 2s. 4< 1. Could tliey then be surprised at the low price they received for their produce ? He was doubtful of the effects to be produced by a statement of figures in a mixed com- pany, but with permission he would detail a few facts. From Marshall's Statistical Tables he learnt, that the annual average growth of wool in this king- dom is 160,000,000 lbs.; the average price of which for twenty years had been 21d.; but for the last three years about 9d. per lb. For 21 years the average annual produce of wool was £ 14 000.000; for the last three years only £ 6,000,000; but as millions were perhaps somewhat difficult to comprehend, and might confuse ideas, he would more simply state the fact, by supposing that a farmer sold his wool the produce of which he usually reserved towards makino- up his rent— for £ 140, and supposing that the same farmer had £ 100 to pay for rent, he would have £ 40 for himself; and supposing him now to sell his wool for only £ 60, and his rent to remain at £ 100, he would he yearly £ 40 minus; and where was this to come from if not out of his capital!— Yet was this little compared with the fate of the farmer in the South country, the price of whose wool had been reduced from 3s. to 7d. per lb.— But the long wools of themselves did not, in any great degree, affect the graziers of Lincolnshire.— It was a fact in history, that 50 years ago there was no fine wool in Germany; but a spirited individual imported a number of Merino sheep into Saxony, and the consequence of this, coupled with oilier measures, is, that the wool of Saxony is now allowed to be imported into this country, to the manifest injury of its graziers. Amongst other acts of what in called the ' collective wisdom,' but which might with more propriety be termed the ' collcctive folly' of the nation, was an act permitting the exportation of long- wnolled English Sheep— an act inimical to the interest of Ihe British grazier. As soon as that Act was passed, a gentleman of Leicestershire was applied to for a hundred of his best breeding sheep, to be sent abroad. Anil who did they think was the gentleman's customer?— Why no less a personage tliah the King of the Netherlands ; and for no less a purpose, they might depend upon i^ than for that of rivalling them and underselling them in ( heir own production. He thought that the fluc- tuations in the price of wool might be attributed, in some degree, to the tricks played with the currency. Mr. Burgess has shewn this very plainly in three instances ; in 1695, when the currency was depreci- ated, long wool was 36s. per tod, but in 16S6, when the currency was restored, it fell to 20s. per tod. This was to him a plain proof that the alteration of the currency had to do with the fluctuations of prices, though the men of that day did not undersland the aftair. From 1775 to 1777, wool was 19s. per tod, but in the year 1777 an act was passed to restrain the negociation of notes of less value than £ 5, and with this contracted currency the price of wool fell from 19s. to 12s. per tod between 1778 and 1783. The American war, it might be said by some, pro- duced the low prices; but the war liiij, in itself, nothing to do with them. Mr. Healy then enlereil into a statement of the price of wool since 1814, taken from an account of his own sales. In 1814 wiih a depreciated currency, it was £ 2. 12s. 6d.; iii 1815, £ 2. 12s. In 1816 the currency was contracted, and wool fell to £ 1. lis. 4d. per tod ! But this might be said to be the effect of the seasons. The seasons truly ! No, it was the effect of the measures of men who legislate with the dice- box, who throw at random their sixes or Iheir aces; and others were the sufferers, in 1822, the contracted currency remain- ing, the price fell to £ 1. 8s. In 1825, when quanti- ties of money were afloat and we were all alive it rose to £ 2. Is.; and in 1826 came the panic, anil down went wool to eight and twenty shillings; since which period it had fallen lower and lower. The one- pound notes had been withdrawn ; Ihe currencv it was said, was made sound and healthy, it mi<> ht be sound and healthy, but it made them very sick^ and last year the price of wool was 21s. 4d. per tod ! The average of his wool for 20 years, from 1809 to 1829, was £ 1. 14s. 3d. making a difference, compared with 21s. 4d. tbe present price, of £ 38. 10s. per cent. • the average of the first seven years of which was £ 1. 16s. or £ 42. 10s. per cent, difference; of the second 7 years £ 1. 17s. 6d. or £ 43. 5s. per cent, difference; and of the third seven years £ 1. 9s. or £ 29. 17s. per cent, difference. In plainer terms, wool was in 1829, 14s. 8d. per tod less than from 1809 ( o 1815, — 16s. 2d. less than from 1816 to 1822, 7s. 8d. less than from 1823 to 1829,— and 12s. lid. less than upon the average of the last 21 years. These were calculations he had made himself, and tliey mi" ht therefore be depended upon; and, what was more they were made from wool produced by the same breed of sheep, so that no allowance for fluctuations upon that head could be made. Mr. Ilealv con- cluded by a hope, that he had made his statement clear and intelligible, and with an ofl'er that any gentleman might, on application, inspect a copy of the written paper from which he gave his calculations. At Oakham market, a resolution was drawn up by the freeholders and occupiers of land, addressed to Sir Gerard Noel, Bart, and Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Bart, calling upon them to adopt such measures as will give the county an opportunity of meeting at the Castle at Oakham, upon the subject of the distressed state of agriculture.— A similar resolution is drawn up in Leicestershire, by persons occupying their own estates, who state that they cannot continue to go ou under existing circumstances. The resolution is forwarded to the County Members.

The Chancellor has affected an extraordinary mystery about the measures of legal reform w hich he means to introduce. Within the last few days a par- tial communication of his designs was, il is understood, made to some select practitioners in his lordship's own court, but Under an obligation of secrecy ; and the members of the profession at Icrqc remain quite in. the dark. In respect of the Welsh jurisdic- tion, however, it has been rumoured, with great ap pea ranee of probability, that Ministers do not mean to rleprive the inhabitants of the principality of those legal privileges to which they appear so much at- tached, and that the only change will be of the judges. Little doubt is entertained tliatan additional judge will be added to the Court of King's Bench, nnd another to the Court of Common I'leas, and from the thus augmented number of judges, two will be assigned to do tire business of Wales and Chester, the two circuits, of which that district is at present composed, being consolidated.— Morning Chronicle.

Mr. Sparrow, a most respectable farmer at Pitch- ford, near Ibis town, sent his team on Tuesday morn- ing, the 9th inst. about five o'clock, to fetch lime, and in endeavouring to go through a customary ford between his bouse and the turnpike road, both waggon and horses were carried away by the rush of water ; three horses were drowned, and the leader, with the waggoner, narrowly escaped the same fate The state of the brook should have deterred the wag- goner from attempting to go through, and more especially as he was only two fields from home ; but this, unfortunately, is only another instance of the thoughtlessness of waggoners, and of Ihe serious losses so repeatedly occasioned to their masters by their careless and almost wilful negligence.

Mr. John Williams, the King's Counsel, is to suc- ceed Mr. Brougham as member for Winchilseu. Mr. Fraukland Lewis is to be the Treasurer of the PJary. George Eaton, alias George Edwards, alius James Breton, alias Thomas Steele, has been committed to Chester Castle, charged wilh stealing fire horses from the neighbourhood of Nantwich. On Monday last, a Meeting of the Trustees of Shrewsbury Streets was held at their office, lo take into consideration the state of the accounts of the Trust; nnd after a lengthened and occasionally warm discussion, a Committee of the Trustees was ap- pointed for the purpose of entering into an investiga- tion of the accounts, with power to call in the aid of a professional accountant, if thev should consider it requisite : and it was further determined that the result of the inquiry should be published for the satisfaction of the rate- payers. We have too frequently had occasion to notice the irregularities that have crept into the administration of flic affairs of this Trust, since the new Act was obtained ; although, in doing so, we have had no wish to do so with personal disrespect to any of those who have taken upon themselves the responsible and not pleasant office of doing the public business with- ont a salary ; nor have we intended to presume that they had any other object than that of serving the public. Still, it is very evident, that the state of debt in which the Trust now stands might and ought to have been avoided by the Trustees) and that it has been incurred contrary to the solemn warning and advice of one of their own body, and of one too whose station and character ought to have com- manded more attention than was paid to it in this instance, wc are prepared to show. In the year 1822, Edward Burton, Esq. ( since deceased), one of tlie Trustees, was appointed to audit the Accounts of the year ending 25lh March, 1822. and to report thereon ; and he did so, as he himself observes " according to my oath."— Mr. Burton's Report, which is dated 17th May, 1822, commences with the accounts, some irregularities as to the ar- rangement of which, as well as in their connexion with his duty of auditor, he first notices: he then proceeds as follows:— " Great and indefatigable appear to be the exer- tions of the Committee of Management, who have so laudably devoted their time and alleiitiun gratuitously to the Public, and il must be regretted that they have not . found the means ndcquale to the ends. Bui the taking up of £ 1750 on mortgage I cannot report w ith indifference ; and I think all must view it with ularni, iu proportion to the dread they entertain for the first contraction of debt. This is a subject worthy at least of consideration. Far be it from me to damp or check a spirit of improvement w here so much is wanting. Still, it may he well lo pause a wbile— lo consider, w hether, under a limited income, it would not be prudent aud oise to proceed gradually, rattier llittu rapidly — to learn to walk, before we attempt to run. This, ii| the most, is what I presume lo recommend for considera- tion. Perhaps the Culvert, now advertised lo he con- tracted for, might be deferred until anuther venr. Desirable as that object may be ; vet, if the means are not equal to meet the expense, it will be a less evil to defer it, as here proposed, than lo involve ourselves ill accumulated debt. In the mean time, the completion of the improvements now under hand, the wretched stale of our pavement, and the nuisances of projecting steps in most of the streets, call loudly for reparation, nnd require, perhaps, the more immediate application nf our already exhausted funds. It appears prudent and politic, that a year of exhaustion should lie followed bv a year of recovery, with attention to minor conveniences and essentials; which latter in. deed ( see the set- lion of the Act, p. 56, for " appli- cation of inoiiles") rank first— with which my ideas perfectly accord. Thus alternately a year of caution aud moderation, after a year of great expense, might in a few years make ibis place tolerably perfect, wiilt- out incumbering our fiunuces ; whilst if every yenr is made a year of great expenditure, nnd we borrow to ihe extent of our power, as specified p. 54, ( which, by the bye, is vested solely in the Trustees, and not less than nine of them,) we shall so cripple our finances, us to leave no hope for the present generation, or posterity hereafter, of ever seeing any reduction of rate, or diminution of debt." Now here was a caution solemnly given : but, as is too often the case, ( more especially where public funds are to be disposed of), not in the least regarded ; and the consequence is, as Mr. Burton foresaw, that we now, in but nine years from the commencement of the Trust, find that Trust overloaded, nay completely paralysed, with debt. As a further proof of Ihe laxity with which the business relating to public funds is too often managed, we may observe, and that without any personal disrespect, Chat although the auditors are sworn to examine, & c. the account, and to " report" thereon, the books of collection of ( he Trust, have never been added up since* the year in which Mr. - urton . was auditor, nor has there since his " Report" been any Report ( in the evident meaning of the oath ad- ministered to the auditors) made by any person that has audited the accounts.— To this we might add, that the yearly publication of the accounts, though specifically directed by the Act, has not been attended to; the direclions of the Act as to the duties of Inspector of Nuisances, & c. have also been neglected ; and instead of being, as it, was intended, a conservative Act, ( as well as an Act for improvement,) that portion of its directions has been almost wholly disregarded ; and we are now in a state of " accumulated debt," far beyond even what the Act. authorises, with no hope of a speedy extrication from it, and with as little prospect of being able to receive those extended comforts of lighting, watching, and paving, which the town stands so much ill treed of, and which, when the Act was obtained, were so abundantly promised, and which, without any further expense than has been incurred, the town was justly entitled to, anil ought to have received. Whether the result of the present investigation will tenrl to show more clearly why, and how, the town has been deprived of the contemplated benefits, we, of course, are not prepared to say : the result will, how- ever, be anxiously looked for, and will, we trust, be followed up by a more judicious and accurate system of management, so that, at least, if all cannot be attained that might be expected, the public may be satisfied there exists a wish, on the part of those by whom the Trust is administered, to perform the func- tions of their office, according to their oath, and with the utmost regard to a rigid system of economy, so that, if we of " the present generation," whose lot, has fallen on evil days, cannot hope to see " any reduction of rate or diminution of debt," there may, at least, be some prospect that such relief will be extended to those by whom we are to be succeeded.

A fine fat ox and twenty tons of coal were distributed to the poor of Llanfyllin, and two sheep were also roasted and distributed, by which upwards of two hundred poor families were relieved. An excellent dinner was provided at, the Wynnstay Arms; after which the company drank copious draughts of Llacth yr aft ( Goat's Milk). f{ This ale, to a man that is old, " Is like halm to the woes of a friend ; ** ' Twill cherish the heart that is cold, 11 And mildly bis spirits amend. " If drank bv the wretched in pain, < s ' Twill banish the sorrowful sigh, ( i And set Up in firmness again 4t His heart, that was drooping to die." The health of the young Heir of Pengwern and Bodfach, and many other appropriate toasts, were drank, and the evening was spent with " merry song and glee" till a late hour, when the company depart- ed, highly de; ighted with the harmonious joys of the not soon to be forgotten day. The merry peal rang with little intermission throughout the week. Similar rejoicings took place at Llanidloes on the 8th inst. and large parties dined at the New Inn and at the Lion Inn, to celebrate the birth of the Heir of Pengwern. g Months : — Anatomy and Physiology— By JOHN WEBSTER, M.

Had we not instances in every department of political reasoning, not forget- ting our own neighbourhood, to prove it, we might be backward in believing the fact— that to gain a point politicians think first of the effect, of their assertions, and of Ihe reality of them last of all. We do not pretend to say that the Duke intended to state that which he knew to be opposed to the truth — lie must have believed that which he stated. The position be holds in the civilized world forbids us to suppose him ready to sacrifice the highest renown enjoyed by any living man, for so unworthy an object as that of deluding the discontented Lords of Parliament. But as his Grace's statement " is not true"— as we are about to prove from Parliamentary returns that it is false— as we are going to shew from other facts that, without any reckoning of the actual currency at either time, there is no possibility of its being true— what then ? Why, then, his want of discernment in matters so plain and so important utterly disqualifies him from administering the civil affairs of a Country so distressed in all its resources and embarrassed in its finances. We would fain ask any of his clamourers, how long is it. since the regula- tion of prices became independent of the amount and quality of money in circulation, and then by what new law of nature it happens that wheat, the readiest of all commoditie s in suiting itself to the quantity of money in circulation, and therefore the most apt to determine both quality and quantity, does not aver age 54s. now, though it was more than 120s. in the year ot* the greatest issues of paper money, and in five of those years averaged 08s. per quarter ? Here we have the most definitive proof that ever was offered on a disputed question, that the value of circulating money is doubled, and it is not in the power of the Prince of Waterloo to divest tbe mind of any rational man that the quantity of such money must have diminished one half. Having now shewn that the statement of his Grace is " impossible," proceed we to shew tbe other characteristic w hich was given to it by Sir F. Burdett on the second day of Parliament— that " it is not true." Our Readers will observe that we are dealing with returns made in obedience to the orders of Parlia ment. We must first, however, dispose of that egregious fact which has puzzled the " collective wisdom" of the nation, ( it is lucky tor the inventor of that laudatory title that he did not say ' collected,') that there is more capital in the < ountry, from which they infer that there must be more currency. For the wise statesman of Denmark has settled it for them aforehand, that " ....— This effect defective comes of cause." Once upon a time, says the apologue, there was a man who dug a pond in his garden, which he kept, widening and deepening, and into which, by all sorts of drains, channels, and gutters, he conducted all the water, dirty or clean, whether it fell from the clouds, or burst out of the earth, or oozed muddy and foetid from the rank dunghill hard by. Wovv this man was a grand capitalist— a political economist and a monetary sage after Peter M'Culloch's own heart;— for Peter thinks of capital with the same simplencss of heart and understanding as the boys do of tbe snow, namely, that it is good for nothing except to " accumulate into masses " But what happened to our Aquarious miser ? Why his garden faded in all directions— the summer heats parched tbe ground, much as the expenses of tbe Duke's gloves have done with the tesources of the national industry — and the little moisture which might have counteracted it had been drawn away to swell his watery capital, into which he slipped one fine morning, and, such had become the depth of it, he never came out alive. To ratify the moral of this story, we are going to quote a passage from a book nf political science which is now almost forgotten, and no wonder. It is half a century since it was published : the fashion of political opinion has changed in the mean time as often as that of our clothes— besides which we have had " oracles," and " luminaries," and " greatest captains," and " the greatest statesmen of this or any other age or country," in such abundance, that our only astonishment is bow we have escaped the deluge of aflluence and felicity with which we are still so constantly threatened. " The circulation of every country may be con- sidered as divided into two different branches— the circulation of the dealers wilh one another, and the circulation between Ihe dealers and the consumers. " The circulation between the dealers, as it is carrie'd on by wholesale, requires generally ( as matter of course) a pretty large sum for every particular transaction. That between the dealers and the con- sumers, on the contrary, as it is generally carried on by retail, frequently requires but very small ones, a shilling or even a halfpenny being often sufficient. But small sums circulate much faster than large ones. A shilling changes masters more frequently than a guinea, and a halfpenny more frequently than a shilling. Though the annual purchases of all tbe consumers are at least equal in value to those of all the dealers, they can generally be transacted with a much smaller quantity of money, the same pieces by a more rapid circulation serving as the instrument of many more purchases of the one kind than of the other. " Paper money may be so regulated ai either to confine itself very much to the circulation between the different dealers, or to extend itself likewise to a great part of that between the dealers and the con- sumers. Where no bank- notes are circulated under £ 10 value, as in London, paper money confines itself very much to the circulation between the dealers." about one- sixth of the whole. We appeal fre: r Coesar to the Jews. What did they make by expar ing the coin at that period? It maybe ditficu*.; prove; but they gave commonly 27, 23, or •.; shillings for a guinea That shews a depreciat: • one- third, or thereabout, in exchanging paper f'-. gold; and that depreciation indicates the quant 1? of paper in circulation ( always meaning paper of . like denomination with the gold) to be ofie- ihirt! : .„• . than the coins in circulation. We must keep. I: i v: . the axiom quoted above from Df. Adam Sniit; i, ar: Ihe distinction between moitey in capital, i. e. i bulky parcels, and money in circulation; for ft activity of the circulation is in proportion to til smallness of tbe pieces, and rice r? rsn. Ifall mone* were equally capable of active Cit'culalicii, it wouh affect prices in the same way, always raising them i:? proportion to the quantity of'money, Slid not its size and value. In that caee the price of Vvhfr1 would have ranged fietWen ten and twenty poiini's tit the period when it averaged five pounds, b'ecaur" it was not then a difference of tcty* of millions, but of hundreds of millions, made up of floating govern- ment bills, bankers' post bills, bills of exchange, pro- missory notes, sometimes drawn in ten sets, lor the payment and transfer of the same goods nn the satr. c day. But, etinugh of this, and enough, of the Duke's notions of public justice, which are opposite to the policy of Julius Ca- snf, who composed Italy after hi' conquest* hy lightening the htirdens of dt btor?, instead of aggravating them. He who can fK- r.- ntado himself, against the evidences of destruction and riirt now impending on all the productive classes, that his - Country must be doing well, because money capital - ists build new bouses and the shopkeepers arc not all going into the Gazette, may be a good for ' Change Alley, and would have figured well in the finance department under Louis " XIV. For fhi.? age and country his political knowledge is too wid . and bis temper of mind too impetuous.

As to the views announced by other speakers, it is a nauseating business to travel through them. Minis- ters must be pinched, however, when they are driven to appeal to Mr. Ward fuf the aid bf his civic aga- city, or to fawn upon Sir. A. Baring, to get him, to toss about his jaunty paradoxes of evils that are undeniable and good that is to arise from their con- tinuance. With no less reverence would we notice the staggering postulates of Mr. Huskisson, who w? s " satisfied that there now existed that degree of pressure on the productive classes generally, wl M, were it permanent, or long continued, would be in- compatible with their continuous existence;" yet " he trusted and believed the Country was not ir, decaying or falling state." It vVere vain to risk what is to prevent the continuance, or where and when we are to look for the alleviation of the load, if the ye;:- of " the largest exports" will not lighten it.

SWAN HILL, FEB 11,1830. In the HOUSE OF COMMONS, on Thursday, Ml*. CALVKUT moved for leave to bring in a hill to prevent bribery and corruption in East Retford, by opening and extending the elective franchise to the adjoin! :; hundred of Bassellaw. Mr. TirNNYSOiJ movrt!, aS an Smendttient, " that leave be given fo bring in a bill to cxcltide the borotigh of East Retford from electing burgesses ' » serve in Parliament, and to enable the town of Bir- mingham to return two representatives in lieu thereof " Mr. MARSHALL seconded the amendment, wh'Hs, after a protracted discussion, was negatived by Majority of 126 to C9.— Mr. Calvert's motion v :> i subsequently carried, and a bill brought in for extending tbe franchise to the hundred of Bassetl; In the HOVSE OF LORDS, on Friday night, T: Foreign policy of the country was discussed at con- siderable length. The subject was introduced by Lord HOLLAND, who distinctly avowed his w; inf. bf confidence in Ministers, and after a long^ address submitted a resolution to the house relative to the future constitution and territorial extent of Greece. The Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of AilEii- EIEEFT, replied to the various statements of the Nobfe Baron, and defended the measures of administration. Viscount MELBOURNE, supported the argument of the Noble Mover; and the Duke of WfcLLING'row concluded an able and Comprehensive speech with a recommendation to Lord Holland to withdraw his motion, which the Noli'le Lord ultimately acceded to. — In the course of the Duke of Wellingtons address to the house, he expressed his firm belief* that so far from this country fearing war, or having reason tcp avoid it from any motives but those: of justice air; integrity, there never was a period of its history at which England vitos in a better condition to engage as a belligerent, or could embark in a war with ••<> many advantages j and that its resources and capa- bility of sustaining the burthens of a contest, not- withstanding the existing distress, were never superb:- to those of the present moment. In the HOUSE OF CoiMMoNs On Friday a long debate ensued On a motion from Sir JAM1 § GRAHA'.: on the subject of reducing the public salaries of the country, which he proposed should be lowered to the- scale of 1796- 7 — Mr. DAWSON, Secretary to th- Treasury, and Mr. CIIOKER, Secretary to tile Admi- ralty, in reply, went, into long and minute details of the various reductions that had been effected in the departments with which they were connected— reduc- tions which, it was contended, amounted to full thirty per cent. The former gentleman concluded by moving the subjoined resolutions, which were pre- ferred by the Hon. Baronet to his own, and they were unanimously adopted by the house:-— " Resolved Thaf his Majesty vCas graciously pleased to assure this House, in reply to an Address of the 27th of June, 1821 ( that his Majesty would give directions for a minute inquiry into the several departments of ( he Civil Government* as well with a. view to reducing the number of tHe persons employed in those departments, which from the great increase of business Were augmented during the late war, as with reference to tl\ e increased salaries granted to indivi- duals since the year 1797, either in consideration of the additional labour thrown upon them during that period, or the diminished t> alue of money), that his Majesty would give directions as desired by the said Address. " That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty will be graciously- pleased to direct that there be laid before this House an account of the progress made in such inquiry, and of1 the measures adopted in consequence thereof. " That it is the opiniofi of this House, that, in all the establishments of the country, civil and military, every saving ought, to bo made which can be effected without the violation of existing engagements, and without detriment to the public service." We now give the real amount of paper circulation St the period of the largest issues. By the returns, the Rank of England had floating, between the months of July and December, twenty- nine millions, of which nearly nine millions were small notes, at present wholly withdrawn. By the average taken from the stamp duties, the country- bank paper for the same period is returned as amounting to thirty- four- mil lions; and from the same returns we are able to draw the conclusion that at least fourteen millions ( some have alleged two- thirds) were small notes. AS to the assertion of the Duke that the gold and silver coins of the first period were eleven millions between them, were we at his elbow we would cer- tainly ask his Grace with what metal his division of the British army, with the most extravagant com- missariat that was ever known in European warfare", was supplied during his campaigns in the Peninsula j and whether it would not have required the remit- tance annually of almost all the hard money, which he has assumed as the metallic circulation, for those expenses alone? Supposing h.' s statement correct, for a moment, as to the gold and silver, bis paper calculation is " a gross fallacy," the sum total being as follows:— The House of Commons have resolved not to receive any petition for Private Bills after Friday, the 19th instant; and that no Private Bill shall be read the first time after Monday, the 8th day of March ; nor to receive any report of such Private Bills afte:* Monday, the 3d day of May.

' I'he first measure that was intended to be adopted for the reduction of the revenue was, that of relieving from all restrictions whatever the internal trade of Ihe country. Their Lordships would perceive that there were two questions to be considered by parliament. The first was, whether it would be possible to con- tinue the government of India, directly or indirectly, without any assistance from the East India Com. pany ; ami the second question was whether, if they considered it necessary to have the assistance of ihe East India Company, that assistance should be given in the manner iu which it had been hitherto afforded? He was quite satisfied that it would be unnecessary for him to lay before their Lordships the many important political considerations involved iu that commercial question. Ue felt quifesatisfied that, in considering in detail so important a subject, they would proceed with caution and deliberation; and he must repeal that, on the pai l of bis Majesty's government, every possible information would be given Ihe house that could be collected; and he rejoiced iu the full conviction that there was 110 disposition 011 the part of their Lordships to sacri- fice, for seeming present advantage, the interests of the people of England, or that of a people whose welfare equally depended upon the good faith, justice, and liberality of the British government. The noble Lord concluded by moving that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the affairs of India, and of the trade carried on betweeu this country and China. After a short discussion the motion was carried, and a Committee was appointed. HOl'SE OF COMMONS— TUESDAY. Mr. PEEL moved the appointment of a Committee on India affairs, ou grounds similar to those stated by Lord Ellenborough in the other House; and after some discussion, a Committee was appointed.

The Dousethen went into a Committee ofSupply; on which the Marquis of BLANDFORD moved, " that no supply should be granted until public grievances were taken into consideration, and re dress granted."— The Noble Marquis persisted in having his amendment put, and there not being 40 members in HIP House, of course no further business could be done ; and the House adjourned. POLITICAL CHANGES IN EGYPT. 9. HOLSE OF LORDS- TUESDAY, FEB. INDIA AFFAIRS. Lord ELLEN BOROUCII said he rose for Ihe pur- pose of moving the appointment of a Select Com- mittee lo inquire into the present slate of affairs iu India, and of the trade which was carried on between Great Britain and China. In doing so he could assure their Lordships that it was Ihe wish and intention of his Majesty's government to enter the subject free from, and unbiassed by, all previous t. nga" emeiits. He could further assure them lliat there w ould be no concealment, as it was the desire of the crown ministers to convey to the country whatever Information might be thought necessary. Already there had been prepared and printed, by order of his Majesty's government, all such papers ns were calculated to throw light upon the su bjeet; and if it should appear that further information were required, that information would be granted. All that was desired by bis Majesty's government was, that parliament and the country, should be afforded an opportunity of forming a con ed opinion upon a matter of such importance. As the papers would soon be in their Lordships' possession, it was unnecessary for hiin to draw their attention to those results which would naturally present themselves to their consideration, when the papers had re- ceived that attention which they deserved, and which the importance of the subject to which they alluded entitled them to. To liiin it WHS a subject of great satisfaction to know llial the publication of those papers, as well as of those which were pre- sented to the house by his Majesty's command, during the last session of parliament, would lend to relieve the minds of the public from their ill- grounded fears, and to dissipate many of the erroneous notions that had been so erroneously circulated through the country. What his Majes- ty's government desired was, that their Lordships and the country should see the real stale of the question. It was not for their Lordships, informed as they Hereof llie acts of the legislature, and of the financial condition of India, as welt as the general bearing of the East India Company, to point out the fallacies that had been most industriously circulated relative to the finances derived by file East India Company ; it was rather from a desire to benefit the commercial interests of the country that he now brought the subject before parliament, lu the courseofsixtecn years that had elapsed sincc the commencement of the present charter, Ihe terri- torial finance of India had appropriated to itself a large portion of the commercial profits of that company, and in point of fact, sincc the commence- ment of the charter the monopoly which had been established for state purposes had been productive of as inuch benefit to the finances as that derived from the dividends 011 East India stock. k was stated in the papers laid before their Lordships during Ibe last session, that Ihe quantity of tea consumed in this country had greatly increased. It wus a fact that the quantity of tea consumed iu England since the charter, exceeded that of any other nation in Europe, with the exception of Prussia. It amounted to more than five millions of pounds, while the price was now considerably lower than it had been in former years. Their Lordships were aware that previous to the produc- tion of the papers before alluded to, information had been obtained from his Majesty's consuls in different parts of the country as to the prices of the several sorts of leas. I11 Ihe present case, in order to afford to parliament and Ihe country the fullest means of forming a complete judgment upon Ihe subject, directions had been transmitted by his Majesty's government to his foreign consuls to make enquiries of a similar nature, and every precaution had been taken lo prevent the possibility of any unfair deal- ing. It would have been a matter of great satis- faction to him if he could inform their Lordships that the finances of India were in a flourishing condition; thai, he regretted, lie could not slate; bill when their Lordships took into consideration the extensive conquests made by the company, followed by the most expensive wars — w hen they further considered that the charter which was last granted to the East India Company was not more extended than that which they had formerly ob- tained, they would not, lie felt persuaded, be sur. prised that the revenue did not bear Ihe same proportion as it had formerly done. He ( Lord Ellenboroiigh) would not be dealing fairly did he not admit that there had been much delay in fur- nishing the information : nobody felt that more than . the directors, and yet it was impossible that they could have issued orders more strong than thev had done for its production, with au anxiety, which he was happy to say, was equally fell by Ihe noble Loid al the head of the government ill lliat country, who had applied himself with greal zeal to effect the desired objects. While he did not hold out to the house any expectations of a diminution ill the existing duties, he yet deprecated any attempt in the measures intended to lie adopted of increasing the revenues of the company by laying additional burthens upon the people; but it was only by diminishing the increased charges of collecting that revenue— it was only by effecting all such reductions as might be made without public injury, in the civil and military establishments of the country, and by gradually and cautiously bringing forward such measures as might be deemed necessary, that he looked forward lo the amelioration and reinstate- ment of that revenue. Their Lordships were aware that since the commencement of the present charter very great alterations had been effected by parlia- ment in the regulations that govern the trade existing between this country and India. Some of those regulations emanated from a noble Marquis 011 the opposite side of the house ( the Marquis of Lans- duwne), who brought the subject before the house Boine years since. The duty ou tea had been materially decreased— the duties upon woollen and oilier manufactures, which were at b per cent, had been reduced to 2|— that on cotton to the export duty of 5 per cent, on indigo had been eutirely taken off— and it was the intention of Ihe [ From the Asiatic Journal for February.] Egypt, under its present governor, has been for years past making progressive advances towards tliat st ate of civilization which is denominated ill Europe, witli some degree of vain- glory, European. Mehmet Ali, the viceroy, as he still modestly styles himself, secuis to have proceeded hitherto with slow and cautious steps in his experiments, and the result, it would appear, has not disappointed the calculations w hich were formed by his advisers. His authority is firmly established in the country, where he is better liked than any preceding pacha; and ( Jje measures which he lias adopted to increase the commerce and productive industry of his subjects have augmented his treasury, and must have contributed, not perhaps in equal proportion, to increase the prosperity of Egypt. Uniting in himself, like our East India Company in India, the character of sovereign and merchant, he has doubtlessly obtained, from this asso- ciation of characters, a clearer insight into the true principles of political economy, than he could have gained by studying the best translations into the Turkish of Adam Smith, Ricardo, or Say. The necessary consequence of his tractability and the liberality of his government is, that he has come more frequently into contact with Europeans, and insensi bly acquired a better opinion of their character and understanding. This opiniou disposed him to adopt the more readily their suggestions ; and, being gifted with a larger share of penetration, and being blessed with a smaller portion of religious prejudice than his predecessors, he could perceive how much his own peculiar interests were bound up with those of the people he governed. Tlie political changes which have been operatin for some time past in Egypt have attracted the atten" tion of many philosophical observers; but few, if any, could have anticipated more from them than silent progression towards a slate of freedom which the country might look forward to in some fifty years to come, but for which it was now totally unprepared it seems, however, that the pacha, like another Peter the Great, has determined that Egypt shall at once take her station in the rank of civilized nations, and that its inhabitants shall enjoy even a representative constitution before he quits the stage of life. In ordinary circumstances this precipitate march, if indeed it he such, after so many preparatives, would be condemned on all hands; but the circum- stances of Egypt at the present day are by 110 means of an ordinary character. The death of the existing viceroy may, and prohably would, leacl to a change of measures, unless the new organization were so complete as to defy the power of any puppet which the sultan might set up. It is fair to infer, from the w hole tenor of the viceroy's proceedings, that he is a person of too much sagacity not to discover the risk of precipitancy in improvement, especially amongst a people composed chiefly of Mussulmans, who are not all like himself; and that he has weighed his risk against the probabilities that, without this attempt at a radical reform of the government, his dynasty may be put aside, and his ameliorations come to nought. Whatsoever may be the real motives of these changes, however, they are, to the eye of the philo- sopher, singular indications of the breaking up of that slavish despotism which enthrals a goodly por- tion of Asia as well as Africa. It may be doubted whether the sacrifices made by Turkey to deprecate the vengeance of the autocrat, or the successful rebellion of a large proportion of her rayas, will, in the sequel, inflict so severe an injury upon her as the example of regenerated Egypt. The whole structure of her power rests upon the same basis which sup- ported for ages the ponderous fabric of papal author- ity over Christendom; and, like that, it will fall, or leave but a wreck behind, as soon as the pick- axes of reform shall touch its ancient foundations. DEATH OF LORD GRAVES. [ From the Stunduril of Wednesday.] We implore this day the attention of our readers to that case of the deepest and most tragic interest which now occupies the public mind— we mean the death of the amiable injured Lord Graves, arid the atrocious practices by which that calamitous event lias been brought about. In the first place, however, we shall lay before our readers the proofs against his murder- ers; proofs that he has fallen the victim of a villainous system of conspiracy and slander, not directed against him personally, but against an Illustrious Individual, at whom the enemies of the House of Brunswick and of Ihe British Constitution would gladly plunge the dagger through the breasts of the purest of the human race, stood they in the way. When we have described the enemies of the House of Brunswick and of the once Protestant Constitution of Britain, we need not name the object of their malice. It is he, the man 011 earth most hated and most dreaded by them— the man whom, after every artifice of intrigue had been employed to keep him out of England, they openly threatened to drive from his native country by calumny : and they have persevered in the effort to fulfil their detestable I design with dreadful fidelity. The blood of one | victim, slain by the lies " that cut as a sharp razor," already cries from the ground against them ; one widow deprived of her husband, and, as far as they could deprive her, of her fame— nine children father- less— are the first fruits of their war 3 but we proceed to the proofs. The following paragraph in which we felt it our duty to resist the slanderers, appeared in the Standard of the 30th of January. It will serve as a recapitula- tion of their first operations 1— « We regret to see the ******* ********* retailing, though certainly with little ostentation, an exploded slander, involving the character of a most respectable wife and mother. The story was set on foot three weeks ago by the usual circulators of eourt lies at the clubs. It was subsequently printed in the John Bull and the Thuca— hut it was not worth a contradiction until it went further. The delators of the club are by this time pretty uotorious; and the John Bull connection with the Treasury, and the hitter malignity of the Times to one of the parties calumniated, are as well known. Now, however, that we find the fabri cation copied into a respectable journal, though, as we have admitted, in an unobtrusive way, and per- haps without the Editor's knowledge, we feel hound to give it the most direct contradiction. ' I here is not one word uf truth in it from the beginning to the end. The acquaintance between the parties is the slightest possible. The lady is living in the bnsom of her family, suspected of wrong by those only who know nothing about lier, and the person for whom she is said to have deserted ber husband, never dreamed that he was an object of suspicion, until the tale to which we are alluding had been many days in circulation. We hope the business ends here." This was promptly copied by the Morning Herald, Morning Journal, anil, we believe, the Morning Chronicle. Would to God that the true statements, which it embodied, had been universally promulgated, and as universally believed— w ould to God that our last expressed wish had been fulfilled, and that there had been no more 0/ the matter.— Driven from the public journals, however,— for after our full and authorised contradiction, Sir James Scarlett could 110 longer have winked at the repetition of the calumny there,— the calumniators found another resource. It is thus described in the Sun of last night:— " The greatest excitation prevailed last night, at the west end of the town,, by the dreadful death of the above much- lamented nobleman. The unhappy circumstances that were currently rumoured, and which are said to have been tlie primary cause of the melancholy catastrophe, were the sole subject of con versation at the various club- houses, and other fashion- able places of resort. Many are the rumours con nected with this lamentable affair, in which the con- duct of an illustrious individual is particularly alluded to. On Sir James Anderson, M. D. who has apart ments at Anglesca House, ascertaining the dreadful nature of the wound, and finding that his. lordship was quite dead, he returned immediately to Anglesea House, and, with as much delicacy as possible, made known the shocking event to the noble marquis and family, who were waiting dinner for his lordship, and who were surprised at his want of punctuality. The uoble marquis became so affected, that for some moments he was incapable of utterance. Since the unhappy separation of the noble lord from his lady— the circumstances attending which are but too well known to the public— various infamous allusions to the cause, which it is impossible for any person not to understand, have been made known to the public iu the shape of caricatures, and have been exhibited in the windows of the different print shops at the west end of the metropolis ; and since their publica- tion, his lordship has been frequently annoyed by some heartless villain sending him anonymous packets containing some of these caricatures. On Sunday last, not many hours before he put an end to his existence, he received three packets of these prints, which considerably added, it is said, to his already troubled and excited mind. His lordship has left be- hind him eight children ; one son and two daughters are married ; the rest of his family are at his seat, at Bishop's Court, near Exeter. Immediate ly after the result of the inquest a messenger was dispatched to Hampton Court, to communicate to her ladyship the result of the investigation."— Hun of last night. This base assault upon the feelings of a nervous man, suffering, too, from painful bodily disease, failed to alarm his jealousy, but it ruined his peace. He preserved a just confidence in the virtue of his wife ; but he became impressed with a horrid suspicion that he was alone in his good opinion. The shocking ap. prehension, that whatever he might believe, the public would think the object of his tendcrest love and fullest confidencc, the mother of his beloved children, a profligate woman, and himself a base con- nivcr at his own dishonour, was too much for reason. He fell by his own hand— destroyed by his best affections;— it was, if ever there was, a seething of the lamb in its mother's milk. What followed ? Did the slanderers pause under the influence of remorse at this dreadful consum- mation of their work ? The following extract from The Times of yesterday will give the answer :— [ From The Times of the 9th.] " The town was extremely astonished, and even terrified, yesterday and the evening before, by the news of the sudden death— that is, the self- murder — of Lord Graves, one of the lords of his Majesty's bedchamber; and this morning we present ( such as we have been able to obtain) a report of what we are sorry to say we cannot call the coroner's in- quest. We have, indeed, no hesitation in declaring that the publication which we now present to our readers ( and we are uuable to procure a better) contains no satisfactory account whatever of the death of Lord Graves, or llie causes which led to it. And if a coroner's jury have been induced to make any declaration on the state of his Lordship's mind, upon the evidence which it has been thought proper now to put before the public, they have acted rash- ly and erroneously. On Saturday his Lordship attended his duty as Commissioner of Excise, and dined out in the evening with Sir George Murray; he breakfasted late on Sunday, but w as cheerful; and was to have dined out again on that day, when, in the short interval between three o'clock and the hour of dressing for dinner, he first dispatched a letter to Lady Graves ( at Hampton Court, we believe,) by one of the coaches, and then, if he be the author of his own destruction, perpetrated the fatal act. Is it possible that a jury can have been induced to pass a verdict upon that act, without having inquired into the state of the alleged perpe- trator's mind on the Saturday, from his brother commissioners with whom he transacted business? Is it possible that they can have found their verdict without demanding a sight of that letter which he wrote to Lady Graves on the very instant preced- ing his death ? Is it possible that they can have failed of requiring Lady Graves to be summoned, that she might give a description of the feelings of her husband, and the causes which produced his irritation ? And who, we ask, are the people exa- mined ? One servant, and the man at whose house the deceased lodged, and one physician. The two former contradict each other in the evidence put forth, and the latter never attended his patient till last Thursday ? " Is it thus that a British nobleman can he passed out of life into eternity, and receive his passport for Christian interment! We may say that his lordship ought not to be buried on such evidence— the coro- ner ought not to have granted his warrant for the purpose. The causes of the murdered man's death must be inquired into! And then let the nation look at the time at which Ibis iuquest is held. His lord, ship was destroyed after sun- set on Sunday night (" there were two lighted candles standing on his lordship's dressing- table"— Servant's evidence), and the jury met before sun- rise 011 the Monday morning! At a quarter before eight the inquisition began. The notice, therefore, required by law to be given to the coroner of the death, the issuing of the coroner's pre- cept to the constable, and the summonses by the constable, must all have taken place by night— in the darkness of the very night on which tbc deceased breathed his last! The jury must have been called out of bed to receive their summonses, and groped about ere day broke for the dress which they had quitted the night before! Is this usual, we ask? Is it decent? Does not nature revolt at it? We again say, then, that a fresh inquisition must be held. We require to know who were the jury that came to this rapid decision— their names anil occupations.'' This requires no commentary ; if it be true in its averments, it will need 110 palliation ; ifil be false, language sinks under the attempt to characterise its wickedness. Is it true or is it false ? The Times of this day shall answer. [ From the Times of the I0/ A.] " Iu relation to the subject which, iu olit paper of yesterday, created so much attention in ( he pub- lic, we must first say that it is most unfortunate when people of unpopular characters are in that rank of life that they can, of necessity, obtrude themselves where they please, and drop in upon those whom tliey may choose as associates at will. It is indeed unfortunate for the persons who are thus distinguished ; for it cannot be but that the potent guest will impart to his friends a portion of the peculiar regard which adheres to himself; and that aptitude which may unfortunately exist to believe ill of him, will of course extend itself to those with whom he establishes relations, perhaps only of ordinary civility. A more intimate know, ledge of the very painful transaction to which w alluded yesterday, has induced us to judge that such is the case in that very melancholy concern. But how miserable, if the lady ( as we now con- scientiously believe) be innocent, her lord convinced of her innocence, and only unable to bear up, be- cause the world unjustly thought he put up with that injury which it would have been base in hiin to suffer tamely, but which he himself knew he had never sustained ! And all this, because one man is what he is 1 " It was a younger member of the family of the lady who went down to Hainpton- court to announce the melancholy event which had taken place ; and in a letter which he wrote from thence, when there could be 110 idea of the suspicions which were about to be excited on the subject of the coroner iuquest, he wrote to an honoured relative in London, to describe the effect of his distressing news upon the widowed sufferer and her family. " It is her only consolation," says he, " that the last letter she ever received from her husband" ( that which was sent dowu by Spry, the servant, by the coach),— " the letter which he wrote when iu contemplation of the rash act, was the most tender and affectionate she ever received from him in her life," This the tetter which we said ought to have been pro duced at the inquest; and which there is in truth no difficulty in producing." Oh! reader, consider this case!— weigh the wrongs of this most abused and injured family The orphans, reft of their father by the wound at- tempted to be inflicted upon their mother's fame the widow, deprived of the adored partner twenty- six years, by an act which proved the intensity of his affection. And then comes the atonement— the blow directed against them was intended forsooth to wound another!! but we may safely trust to the feelings of the fathers and hus- bands of England to do justice upon the murderous slanderers, upon those who have set them 011, and those who, having the power, did not coerce tliein in lime. notice of the circumstance till he heard of the above murder, when on mentioning the occurrence to Mr. Lewis, he ( Mr. L.) thought it advisable that the parties should be taken into custody, as it was reported that the murdered man had several of these notes in his possession. On Tuesday the father and son were apprehended. W. Cox, On being interrogated, first denied that he had any notes, and asked Mr. T. how he could think so, as he bad been out of work 16 weeks; and afterwards said he had received thehi from Mrj Stanton for work. He denied that they were 5gs. and 1 guinea notes, and said they were £ 1, and that he had received them two years asro from Mrs. Anthil at the Butter row. On this being objected to 011 account of his having previous to this occurrence sold his watch, bible, best clothes, & c. he answered that he had Saved the notes for the purpose of going tb see a friend. The Jury sat on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, before Mr. Trigg; Coroner, at Bisley, when they adjourned till Wednesday, Feb. 10; and the investigation of this dreadful business is likewise carried 011 befol- e H. Burgh, Esq. at Stroud.— The following is some of the evidence affecting the prisoners : Warren cannot give a satisfactory account how she spent the interval between hursday night and Saturday morning, and pre- varicates muchj Mrs. Jews, where the elder Cox, his son, and Warren lodged, said the old man often talked of the deceased's having money, which she denied, because she suspected that Cox had ill designs; and it was impressed on her mind that they intended to rob him, and although she urged that Wicks must have spent it all in the purchase of ' ouses which he had gone down to Stroud to pay for, yet the elder Cox persisted in his having money. Mrs. Holder who was in the habit of washing for VV. Cox, states that when he brought is shirt to wash, it was turned inside out, which he wondering at, turned it, when she discovered marks of blond on one of the sleeves, as if smeared with a bloody hand. The deceased's sister can swear to the numbers of the notes offered by the younger Cox — Ou Wednesday, the 3d inst. W. Cox and the other prisoners were brought before H. Borah, Esq. and afterwards given into the custody of PL fcet, the constable, who secured, as he thought, his prisoner with a pair of hand bolts and a chain reaching from them to the kitchen grate ; but early on Thursday morning he contrived to extricate his hands, and made his escape through a window al fhe Weavers Arrtis, Stroud. The officers of jus- tice are in pursuit of him. We have not yet learnt the result of the Inqnest.^- Cheltenham Chronicle. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES. SPRING CIRCUITS, 1830.

Tauulon " We cannot refrain at the outset from intimating as our firm persuasion, that whoever listens attentively to the tone of language which is now heard in tli unrestrained intercourse of the higher as well the lower classes of society, will be constrained admit that the resolutions and proceedings of the legislature, and especially of the House of Commons no longer command that respect and submission with which they were wont to be regarded. So Ion the representatives of a free people, in whatever manner they may be selected, continue to discharge their duty with wisdom and firmness, 110 class of men can be named who receive a larger share of the love and veneration of their countrymen; but there is none whose dereliction of duty is visited with more mortifying alienation and neglect. When a popular body begins to degenerate, it affects to deprecate all injudicious harshness and austerity, when the end can be equally attained by being more measured both in their language and resolutions. The people perceive the change, and after a while an evident abatement ensues of the expectations which are formed of their deliberations. After this they become so idle and inattentive, that they suffer the business which comes before them to pass too much as a matter of course; and this in its turn causes their proceedings to be treated with carelessness, and sometimes with disre- spect. In the last stage of decay they serve merely as a pageant, and are despised as only serving to register the decrees of the executive government, which they have neither the virtue to modify nor to resist That a proportion of that assembly now consists of gentlemen of great capacity and acquirements there can be no dispute. Neither is it assumed that the House of Commons was, at any former period, com- posed wholly or principally of persons of extraor- dinary endowments, any more than in the present day. " But whether it be that the house has sunk, or that the well- educated part of the community has risen, it would be difficult to maintain that, as a body, they now constitute the chosen of the Commons of the realm, in the same sense in which they did some time ago. Let any person listen to their ordinary conversation or reasoning, or sit down to the perusal of the thoughts they may have committed to writing, and they are not only found inferior to private in- dividuals among their contemporaries, but one seldom recognizes the grasp of mind and statesman- like qualities which tlie representatives of a free and eit- lightened country might he supposed to possess."— Quarterly Review. HORRID MURDER. It is with feelings of regret we state that this county has been the scene of a most diabolical murder. On the morning of Sunday, the 31st ult. an industrious labouring man, named William Wicks, who resided alone at Bisinore, in the parish of Bisley, was discovered to have been most inhumanly butchered in his own dwelling. A woman who washed for him on entering the house found the body most horribly disfigured about the head and face, by several mortal blows from a hatchet, and the murderous instrument lying near him. His supper remained untouched upon the table, and the house was completely ransacked for plunder. The poor fellow was reputed to have some money in his possession, which is of course supposed to have been the inducement for the commission of this horrid crime. There is reason to believe that the murder was perpetrated on the Friday night preceding. No trace of the actors in this cruel tragedy could be discovered till Tuesday the 2d inst. when the following circumstances led to the apprehension of Thomas Cox, his son William Cox, both weavers, and Warren, the woman who gave the alarm, with whom the latter had cohabited. On Saturday, Jan. 30, W. Cox told a person named Gabb that he had some notes, and he wished to know whether they were good, and asked if he would accompany him to Gloucester to get them changed. Gabb referred him to Mr. Butler, of the Ship lull, Briinscombe. The notes he ( William Cox) submitted to Mr. B.' s inspection, and for which he desired change, were of the firm of Evans and Jelf, late of Gloucester, of the nominal value of five guineas and one guinea, on which the dividend had been paid, and the corners torn off. Mr. B. thought it was some sharping trick, and took no further fSliaccllanfous Entclliftciu?. On Wednesday, Messrs, Alexander, Isaacson, and Marsden, proprietors of the Morning Journal, ap- peared in the Court of King's Bench, lo receive judgment for the libels on the Government, of which they had severally been found guilty.— Mr. Alexander ( the editor of the paper) was sentenced to 4 months' imprisonment, and a fine of £ 100, for each of the three libels that he had written.— Mr. Isaacson was fined £ 100; and Mr. Marsden was directed to enter into his own recognizance to ap- pear to receive judgment when called upon. It is a curious proof of the slender fortunes of Lord Byron's family at his accession to the title, that th.* produce of the sale of his mother's effects, with the exception of her plate and linen, netted only £ 74.17s. 7d. In consequence of the long continuance of the late severe weather, and the great demand upon the stocks in hand, the important article of coal in many places had become excessively scarce and dear. The Oxford Journal of Saturday says—" Should the frost continue another week, to the poor the conse- quences must be dreadful, as hundreds of the inhabi- tants in the town have no coals left. The coal wharf has at this time as much the appearance of a timber- yard as that of a wharf, and what few coals there are for sale are retailed uut at 5s. and bad billet wood at 2s. 6d. per cwt.! The coal merchants are under contract to supply the respective colleges, and to enable them to do so, have drained the neighbouring wharfs; and we were informed that on Tliursd; evening a number of teams were dispatched to the pits below Birmingham to bring coals up by land carriage. The colleges have adopted the plan of putting two of the junior members into one room, for the purpose of saving fuel, and every other system of economy is used to make the stock hold out." About nineteen years ago, a most extensive bur- glary was committed in the house of Mr. Green, of Martin Court, Martin Hussingtree, between Droit- wieli, and this city. The property stolen was princi- pally in cash, and amounted to between £ 300 and £ 400. Suspicion at the time attached to some members of Mr. Green's family, but nothing was discovered to implicate any party, and the transaction remained at rest from the period of its occurrence until a day or two ago, when a very old woman, named Male, who lived at Martin, finding her end approaching, made a full discovery of the robbery, acknowledging that she was concerned in it, with several others whom she named, and one or two of whom, we believe, are still in existence.— Worcester Herald. It is a curious circumstance, that the Marquis Wellesley has in his possession, and often wears, the very identical " George" iu his collar of the Order of the Garter, that was worn by King Charles the First on the scaffold, and given by his Majesty to Bishop Juxon, immediately previous to his exe- cution ; it is a beautiful sardonyx, and is encircled bv a row of the largest diamonds taken iu the tent of Tippoo Saib, and presented, with others, to his Lordship by the East India Company. The full dress of the Knights of the Garter gives occasion for a great display of diamonds; the late Lord Londonderry, 011 the occasiou of the King's coro- nation, besides wearing them in his buckles and vest, confined his collar with large shoulder- knots, and a splendid aigrette with a loop, to secure the folds of his hat. Many of these were presented by the allied Sovereigns, in snuff- boxes, on the signa- ture of the treaties of Paris and Vienna, and sub- sequently ; on which occasions presents are always exchanged by the diplomatists. Those presented by us are generally made at Rundell's, they bear an enamelled portrait of the Sovereign, and are of the value of ten thousand guim as Alter the King's, the Duke of Wellington's are the finest diamonds of the Order. It is well known that those of Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, eclipsed ttiem both in brilliancy and number at the period of the coronation. One of Mr. Peel's alterations in the criminal law was this— that, where a person charged with a criminal offence had been previously convicted, such prior conviction should be made a substantive charge iu the indictment against him for the new offence, and a certificate from the Clerk of the Peace, or of the Arraigns, be produced as the proof of it. This, we should suppose, must have origin- ated in the sage maxim of " Give a dog au ill name, and hang him;" for, if the refinement of judicial malice had beat about to find out a method of pre- Tenting a man from having a fair trial, the most successful way of doing so would be to inoculate the minds of the jury, and prejudice them knee- deep with a knowledge of the prisoner's previous of- fences, That the court, or judge, before passing sentence, should know what a man's previous character and habits had been, and should be regulated by it, to a certain degree, in framing its sentence, seems reasonable enough, and was, we believe, acted upon to quite as great a length as it was proper it should be; but the obvious cruelty and injustice of bringing a man's previous conduct, in one instance, to bear upon the question of " Guilty" or « Not Guilty" in the other, is such, that we are not at all surprised to hear that it begins to be actually dispensed with by some of those 011 whom its adoption, while it continues to be a law, is almost, if not quite imperative. Some of the jndges at the Old Bailey have, we hear, directed that that part of the indictmeut shall not be opened or made known to the jury; and at the Wiltshire sessions, recently, the magistrates came to an una- nimous resolution not to allow of its use there, A similar resolution was adopted at the last War- wick sessions; and such being Ihe general feeling upon the subject, it is most probable that in the present session of parliament Mr. Peel, seeing the I n or into which he has been led, will himself relieve the judges and the statute- book from an enactment which, however well intended, manifestly infringes upon that which has always been the characteristic of British jurisprudence, fairness, and lenity towards the accused.— Morning Herald, We believe it to he now ascertained, almost to A certainty, that the will of the late Sir John Pakingtori; Bart, by which he made that extraordinary and irrational disposition of his property, of which we' have already acquainted our readers, is informal, and consequently of no effect; and that, therefore, th Westwood Park demesne, and the other estates of which the Baronet died possessed ( estimated in the whole of the annual value of from £ 5000 to £ 6000 a year), as well as his personal property, will devolve to, and be shared in equal portions, according to the dictates of the law under the circumstances of the case, by his two nearest a- kin, viz. Miss Pakingfon, the sister of the deceased Baronet, and his nephew, James Somerset Russell, Esq. of Pdwick Court, neat this city.— Worcester Herald. The old Chapel of Ease, at Woore, being in a dilapidated state, it has become necessary to erect a new one, on a more eligible site, as the present one does not afford any compass for a cemetery : in con. sideration of which, Sir J. Chetwode,- Bart. has kindly contributed to the accommodation of the inhabitants by giving them a piece of ground at Ireland's Cross, contiguous to the village; and it may be useful to add, that the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry has expressed his full approbation of the situation and design.— It is furthermore attributable to the bene- volent exertions of Sir John, that a sum of money) bequeathed for the education of tlie poor of Doriing- ton and Knighton, in the same parish, ( Mucclestone,) has been appropriated to its legitimate object; and he has recently built a National School, upon a large scale, on a spot of ground at Knighton, also given by him for that purpose.— In consequence of these muni- ficent gifts, the parishioners, in token of gratitude, have delivered to him an address of thanks; and on Tuesday, the 2< 1 inst. ( that being the day appointed to inspect the plans and estimates for the projected new Chapel), Sir John entertained the parishioners with a public dinner at Woore, at which he also con- descended to be present. About 150 of the yeomanry and tenantry partook of his bounty at the Swan and Falcon Inns, at Woore; and sheep were roasted and a profusion of good things prepared for the labouring classes at the Spread Eagle and the White Lion at Knighton. I11 the year i776, Mr. Coke came into possession of the Holkliam estate. At that period not a grain of wheat had ever been, grown between Holkham and Lynn, under the impression that the soil was incapable of producing it ; and ten thousand quar- ters were annually imported at the port of WellPj for the consumption of the surrounding country, where little else but rye was then cultivated, lb 1828 the exportation of wheat amounted to 50,000 quarters, whilst the home consumption was greatly inireased by a richer and more numerous population — that of the parish of Holkham alone having risen between the two periods from 176 inhabitants to 1100, which number is found scarcely sufficient to perforin the labour required. The land in Mr, Coke's own hands consists of 4000 acres. When he entered upon it, he maintained only 800 sheep, with other stock. Half the land now feeds 3500 sheep, with the same proportion of other stock ; the other half has been planted and is paying well. In the beginning there were three farm yards 011 the 4000 acres ; there are now twenty on the 2000, and more are required. This statement places the capability of the soil of the country in a striking point of view, supposing the whole island is ( o be equally well cultivated in proportion to its fertility. CURRENCY AND CREDIT.— I will take the liberty ( says Mr. Atwood) of mentioning an anecdote which came within my knowledge, ami which will fend to illustrate the importance of a ready supply of money, in all parts and at all times, in a country where nearly the whole of the transactions of life are effected through the method of debt. The tenant of a noble- man in a midland county owed him £ 700 for two years' rent. Upon remonstrating with the tenant upon this subject, the tenant answered, that the reason why he did not pay his rent was, that another tenant of the nobleman, a maltster, owed him £ 800 for two years' crops of barley. Upon sending for the maltster, and remonstrating with him, the maltster states, that the reason why he could not pay for the barley was, that the nobleman himself owed him ( the maltster) £ 700 for the supply of malt for his family!! Now, here, gentlemen, you perceive three respectable men, all quite safe, and, in fact, persons of property, and yet all rendered incapable of paying each other, and, in fact, on the very point of tearing each other in pieces by the fangs of the law, for no earthly cause whatever but the mere want of the use of the medium of exchange for only half an hour ! Fortu- nately for them, being thus accidentally brought info contact with each other, their mutual difficulties were quickly relieved. The nobleman drew his cheque upon the tenant for £ 700, and paid it to the maltster, who paid it to the tenant, who immediately credited fhe maltster, and debited the nobleman with its amount; and thus all was settled. Now, my friends, ( continued Mr. A.) I must beg to remind you that the interests of little men are just as important to them as those of great men are to them. I have known cases where individuals have been brought before our Court of Requests in Birmingham, and have even been placed in custody there for small debts of 15 or 20 shillings only, » t the very time when they themselves had similar sums due to them from other persons, who were presented from paying them, in the very same way that the maltster was prevented paying the tenant. They have been all inconvenienced in a circle." THE MAHOR.— The mahor, or wild cotton- tree, grows in Cuba t » a vast size. There is one on an estate called Santa- Anna, au hundred feet high. Its flunk, which is 46J feet in circumference at the base, rises to sixty- five feet without a single branch or a single knot 011 its white bark. The branches are worthy of the stem, and cover a diameter of a hundred and sixty- feet. This immense tree is in itself a world, and shelters and feeds millions of insects. Several parasitical plants attach themselves to it. Wild pine- apples grow at the top, and the vine vegetates 011 the boughs, and, letting its branches droop to the earth furnishes rats, mice, and the opossum, which would find it difficult to climb a smooth bark, a ladder, enabling them to reach the pine- cups, which form so many natural reservoirs for the rain water. The wood- louse founds extensive republics in this tree, and establishes its large and black cities at thejuneturo of some of the branches, whence it descends to the ground by a covered way, which it constructs of mortar, and of which it even provides two— one to ascend, and the other to descend by. This little insect is of the size of a flea, is inoffensive, and is a great treat to the inhabitants of the poultry- yard to whom it is given in its nest. On Wednesday, a dreadful loss of life was sustained by the bursting of the boiler of the steam- engine at the United Hills Mine, in the parish of St. Agnes, Cornwall. Nine persons have died, and two still survive the injuries they sustained. The late Mr. Bainbridge, the Irish banker, of St. Paul's Church- yard, died intestate; and wc under, stand his personal property alone exceeds £ 350,000. The difference of stamp duty payable on the admi- nistration instead of a will is £ 4000. The lands of the Marquess of Stafford in the North of Scotland, by the recent accession of Lord Reay's country, stretch over a tract exceeding 100 miles. DR.
