Bulwel!, near Nottingham, Sept. 27, 1828 GENTLEMEN, fHAVE frequently regretted that I have not iu times past made that acknowledgement which is justly due for the benefit my family ha derived from \ onr excellent medicine, the Anti- scorbutic Drop*. My son William, when about year old, was afflicted, with the Measles, which left a pot on his leg. This soon ulcerated and spread forming a large wound. The surgeon to whom we pplied, succeeded in healing the ulcer, but almost immediately afterwards an ulcer appeared upon his face, and the hoy w as dreadfully ^ afflicted with running sores upon his neck and body ; the discharge of matter was HO great, that we were obliged daily to change hit linen The physicians aud surgeons in the neigh- bourhood were applied to, but their skill was in vain; several other remedies we resorted to, proved equally inefteciual, and the sufferer continued a poor and miserable object, almost bent double for near twenty years. At this time 1 heard of the virtues of your inestimable medicine, and after taking six bottles which I purchased from Mr. Suttou, of Nottingham, an amendment began to take place, and perseverance iu taking four bottles more, effected a perfect cure. It is now six years since this was accomplished, for which return yon my unfeigned thanks, and wish you to make it public, far the benefit of those who may be similarly afflicted. 1 am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JOHN FOULICES.

SALOPIAN JOURNAL,-"- AM © CiOUMER OF WALES. HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. LAW AGAINST FORFCERY. Mr. Secretary PEEL entered into an explanation of Iris proposed bill to amend and consolidate the l. aws affecting" cases of Forgery. There were at present not less than one hundred and twenty statutes on the subject. Me proposed to insert in his bill every offence of the kind to be. subjected to the punishment of death, and und^ r no other ciicum- jUarifces than it, would contemplate. There were now sixty- one acts of forgery which required capital punishment. He would ; therefore propose to repeal all thevexi. sthig acts, and to give in oiie act eVery offfnee which for the future woiild be liable to such capita) pu. nUhir. ent. He avowed himself a decided advocate for the mitigation of capital punishment, it was now less-- frequently inflicted than in former years, and his object would be still further to abolish it. TliCjnumber of - executions in London and Mid- dlesex hud materially diminished. In the proposed bill there wotild be only four clauses re'ative to capital punishments, viz. the forgery of the sign manual) of W ills, of transferable securities— all false Entries in the accounts of the public service — in the transfer of public stock— and in all tho^ e documents which were representatives of money. He proposed to alter the law as to orders for forged stamps, to defrauds by the fabrication of stamps apcl deeds, and • bonds. . ThisWould: increase thtcautioH of individu- als, and confer a benefit upon the country. While he remitted the severity of punishment in different cases, 4 he would also wish to facilitate the conviction of guilty person, which every one would admit to be highly desirable. The forgery of acceptances and ihdbrsefriefits On foreign bills of exchange was not how capitally ptoriishahle, which his bill would make so. He. also proposed to enact that the forgery of a v ill in any foreign country of an Englishman, if offered in this country as a true one, should be punished by death The Right Hon. Gentleman . concluded by waving for leave to bring in a bill to effect these objects. FRIDAY. F » Tr„ SYKFS presented a petition from the shipping interHts of Hull, complaining of distress, and praying relief.— Mr HKRRIES, President of the Board of Trade, stated in reply, that there was an earnest desire on the part of Ministers to apply their best abilities to the consideration of any remedy which the members of ihe Shipping interest, could point out to the grievances of which they complained. Minis- ters were, and had been, ready Upon all occasions to listen to all their petitions, to weigh them with care, and to argue them with patience, and they had never turned a deaf ear to any statemhlt which had come from this important branch of the trade of the coun- try. The burthens more peculiarly affecting that Interest should be made the subject of his serious and immediate consideration. BEER DUTY. Mr. R. GORDON wished to know, from the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his ^ I& jftsty's Government had come to any determination relative to a point which had excited much interest among persons engaged in the brewing trade, and upon several memorials had been presented to the government,— namely, the advantage which would arise to the publicans if they were permitted to brew beer, from the present period until the 1st of Octdber, tvithftut paying fluty, such beer to remain under bond until the 1st of October. The CFIASCELI. on of the EXCIIFQUFR was of opinion that Considerable inconvenience would result to those engaged in the trade of brewing beer, if all the beer henceforth to be brewed were to be subject to a duty, because private persons fcottld brew beer not subject to duly; atid bring it into the market after the 1st of October. He had, therefore, tried to discover some means of remedying this inconveni- ence, and he believed that, by allowing beer lobe brewed free of duty, provided it was kept apart, and not brought out for consumption, iintd after the duly on beer was removed, that inconvenience Would be remedied.

SMtifeGLlNtb.— On Thursday forenoon the King's officers, on examining a hogshead, apparently con- taining nothing but pigs' feet, on the quay at the Brunswick Dock Basin, Liverpool, which had been landed the preceding evening from a steam- boat from Belfast, found a barrel containing forty or fifty gallons of Irish " whisky, add a box containing bladders filled with the same article, packed up among the pigs' feet, in order to defraud the revenue. The spirits were, of course,- imme diately seized. OPENING ofi TAE BEER TRADE.— The deputa- tion of the licensed victuallers had an interview, on Wednesday hvstj with the Chancellor of the Exche- quer, when they were informed, that the skeleton of a bill would be brought forward in the House of Commons, a copy of which would be generally dis- tributed among- the magistrates of the kingdom, that they might have an opportunity of considering- of its provisions at the ensuing Quarter Sessions. In the House of Lords on Thursday evening, the only observations worthy of remark were those which fell from the Bishop of Bath and Wells, on presenting a petition from Shepton Mallett, complaining of distress. This enlightened prelate, who has set a noble example of active benevolence lo his brethren, declared his conviction that the distress was universal and ihtolerable ; and he therefore thought the legislature was called upon by every principle of humanity and justifcc, as well as of sound polity, to institute an inquiry into its cause.

WARWICK ASSIZES. Frederick Piquenet, a young man of respectable appearance, was chai • « • < 1 with wilfully and feloni- ously selling to Messrs. Alston, of Birmingham, cer- tain quantities of copper, being naval stores, knowing them to be such. The case excited great interest, the prisoner being supposed to be Connected with a very extensive sysiem of robbery at Chatham, Dept- ford, and other Government Dockyards. Mr. Ser- geant Goulburn, with \ Vhoni was Mr. Balguy, stated the circumstances of the case, which were afterwards proved in evidence. The Learned Sergeant stated that he was desired, on the part of his Majesty's go- vernment, to say that the conduct of Messrs. Alston in this transaction, had been highly creditable to them, a* it was through' 1 their information that a mbstexten kjvc system of robbery had been detected. A fore- man of Messrs. Alston wasalsO the principal evidence against the prisoner. The Charge was satisfactorily proved, and the accused was found guilty and sen- tenced to transportation for fourteen years. The prisoner had been at large on heavy bail since his i& ommitmcQtt, Notwithstanding the unwonted heat of the pre- ceding week, we were on Thursday last visited by a heavy fall Of snow, which continued the whole of that night, arid most of the next day. In some directions, and particularly between this town and Bishop's Castle, the roads were completely choked up by the snow : and We regret to state, that two poor men, named John Maddox and George Hodges, perished on Picklescott Hill on Friday night: they were driving cattle from Bishop's Castle Fair towards Church Strettonj when, unhappily, they became involved and Overwhelmed in the mass of snow which obstructed their route, and they were traced and found in it; quite dead. Mr. jervis, C hief Justice of Chester, will be one of the proposed new judges. We are si ire that many of our readers will learn with satisfaction, that some benevolent gentlemen* resident in this town, have obtained the requisite Machinery, by which chimneys can be swept effectu- ally without the aid of climbing boys, and that a person will be inimediafely employed who is accus- tomed to the u- e arid superintendence of the same. Committed to our fcoufttv Gaol; John Hull, charged with having stolen a hedging hook, the property of George Riiscoe, of Prees; Tkomus Salt and Thomas Nevitt, charged with having stolen a quantity of hay, the property of Henry Shelding, of Bridgnorth; Hannah liar leycharged frith having administered poison to Saran Smith and James Thomas, at Wentnor; Joseph Bate, charged with having stolen a silver watch, the property of Samuel Haden Jones, of Wellington. DARING AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.— A most extensive and daring robbery was perpetrated on Saturday night, the 27th, or Sunday the 28th uit. on the premises of Mr. William Drury, cutler, Castle- street, Liverpool. The thieves effected their entrance through a door at the back of the premises, after which they had to break their way through a wall into the counting- house, from whence they got into the shop. They appear then to have gone to work in the most deliberate and systematic manner, having packed up and carried off every portable article of value. The articles Stolen consist of fine cutlery and silver goods, the mountings of all the silve'fr articles* a gold repeating watch, a bag of silver coin ; several parcels of valuable goods, packed for orders; and numberless other articles, of the vajue altogether of upwards of £ 1,500. The hole made in the wall is so narrow that it would only admit a boy, or a very small man. The iron- chest was forced with a jackscrew, through the key- hole; fhe door outside was not injured, btit the inteii > r burst into pieces Every paper was strewed about the floor, and the drawers and desks ransacked ; they picked and forced all the locks inside, regaled themselves in the office, and drunk or rook away two bottles and a half of sherry wine, leaving behind them fragments of meat, and the silver- handled knives and forks which they had used to eat . with. Candles were used by them, and they had placed show boards, & c. inside the window and opposite the door to prevent their lights being seen from the outside. From the great number of articles carried off and the difficulty of forcing a way through the stone wall, the thieves must have been on the premises several hours, but n • ther the neighbours nor the police appear to have heard or suspected that there was any thing amiss going- on. At. the Montgomeryshire fereat Sessions, jud^ nienr of death was recorded against John Boiinford, fot ! feloniously stealing in the house of Evari Chapmati; a j Llanllwchaiarn, a considerable sum of money, in .

At this Great Session, an action for breach of promise of marriage was tried, in which the plaintiff, Maria Davies, a young woman in humble life, obtained a verdict, with £ 100 damages, against the defendant, John Tilston, an opulent farmer. WELSH JUDICATURE.— The proposed Bill for the abolition of the Welsh Judicature ( see 4th page), contains a clause for admission, in the different Courts at Westminster, of all the attorneys in the Principality and Cheshire, on payment of Is. opiy, for the purpose of enabling them to practise iri all causes wherein the defendants, at the commencement of the suit, were resident in Wales or Cheshire ; and, in like manner, their articled clerks are entitled, on the expiration of their service, to be admitted with- out paying any further fees than such as they are now bound to pay for qualifying themselves to practise in the same description of causes. There is also a provision enabling such attorneys as are now admitted of the several Courts in the Principality to he admitted generally in the Courts at Westminster, on payment of the difference between the sums they have already paid in stamps and fees of admission, and the sum which attorneys in England are bound to pay for the same privilege. The like permission is reserved for articled clerks. WELSH JUDICATURE.— The inhabitants of the Principality seem to have taken the alarm at the sweeping change proposed to be made in their local judicature; and meetings are being held in various places to petition Parliament against it The Grand Jury at the late Denbighshire Great Session addressed a requisition to the High . Sheriff to' call a County Meeting on the subject, which is fixed for Thursday week at Ruthin ; and on Saturda y se'nnight, the Gentry, Clergy, arid Freeholders of the County of Anglesey, held a meeting at Beaumaris, when a series of resolutions and petitions to both Houses of Parlia- ment, condemnatory of the proposed change, were unanimously adopted.

Nine individuals have been lately apprehended and committed upon charges of riot, but the greater part of them have been admitted 10 bail. We sincerely hope these misguided people may see tlieir error, and speedily adopt a more peaceable line of conduct.— Gloucester Journal. On Tuesday night, the Standard Liverpool and London coach was overturned in the road leading into Spon- street, Coventry. There were six outside and one inside passengers; one of them was taken up apparently lifeless, and died about four on the next day ; he never spoke after the accident, arid waA an entire stranger to ail the . other passengers,. A man named He derson, a shoe- maker from Birmingham, had his right shoulder dislocated; and a seafaring man named Steele was much bruised. Captain Ingram of the West India Regiment, had Ills collar bone broken ; a lad of colour his servant, who was oittside, escaped with a slight wound. The other pas- engers have resumed their journey, being only slightly injured ; the coachman and guard were not much hurt. At the Cork Assizes, on Tuesday last, Patrick Lynch, Edmond Connors, and James Wallis, were charged in several counts with conspiring to murder George Bond Low, Michael Creagh, and Henry Evans, F- sqrs. on the 20th of January, 1829, at Doneraile. The testimony given in support of the prosecution was only a repetition of circumstances with which the public were made acquainted at the period when they took place, and the jury having considered for some time, returned a verdict, finding- Patrick Lynch gu lty, Edmond Connors and Michael Wallis not guilty. They, however, recommended l. ynch to mercy, on account of the tranquil state of the country since these trials have In en brought on His lordship sentenced the prisoner to death, but. did not name a day for his execution. ESSEX A man, named Malcolm, who hail trespassed on the grounds of Captain Moir, with a view to fisb in a creek, which bounds his farms, was told to desist by the servant of that gentleman. As, however, he took no notice of the intimation, the Captain became irritated, seized a. pistol, rushing towards the water, discharged its contents at him, and he is since dead. On Saturday an inquest was held at the George Inn, at Stamford- le- Hope, on the body of Malcolm. Captain Moir was brought in custody from Barking Gaol, and remained in an adjoining room during the inquiry. He is a fine looking man, about six feet high, and of a most determined aspect. It appeared from the evidence of William Dukes, that himself, deceased, and bis apprentice, left Hammersmith to fish, and on Wednesday they reached Shelhaven Creek, where the deceased proceeded to lay his nets- Captain Moir accompanied by his servant, came towards them with a knife in his hand, and ordered deceased to take up tbe nets. Deceased took up the nets directly, and after some altercation they parted. Witness and deceased proceeded to Baker's. cottage, where they remained about an hour and a half, and then proceeded towards their boat, which was lying- near the Creek; Malcolm was in advance about seven yards; he had not proceeded more than one hundred yards when he perceived Captain Mou- nding furiously towards them; he called out to deceased, " I thought 1 told yon not to come across those meadows again." Malcolm said, " 1 will go;" upon which Captain Moir rode round to him, and pointing a pistol, immediately fired ! Malcolm ex- claimed, " Oh, sir, von have broken my arm, you have broken my arm !" Captain Moir then spoke to the witness, and told him if he did not take the basket and stutf off his premises dircctlv, he'd serve him the same; witness obeyed, and Captain Moir then rode away, saying he would send a doctor; witness assisted Malcolm, who was bleeding dread- fully, to Baker's cottage, and assisted him in staunch- ing the blood. Mr. Grubb proved that he was passing by the spot ut the time the shot was fired William Raven, servant to Captain Moir, proved that he went with his master to warn off Malcolm, when the deceased was very abusive, and called his master " a Scotchman." The Captain told him if he did not go off his premises he would help him off, and the deceased then stripped to fight. The Messrs. Richard William Lambrecht, Frederick Cox, and Henry Rigley, the surviving principal and the two seconds in the late fatal duel in Battersea Fields, were tried on Friday, for the murder of Mr. Clayton, and after four hours' consideration on the part of the jury, found not guilty. They were, in consequence, discharged. OPENING A FOOTPATH NEAR MARPI. E.— During the present week an altercation of a serious nature has occurred at Metier, in Derbyshire, in consequence of Mr. Arkivright's having come to the determination to stop part of if, rnad which leads from Marple to Marple Bridge, by Windy- buttom- Bridge, and which has been opened for the use of the Public, so great a number of years that the oldest inhabitant of that township". knowetl) not to the contrary." It appears, however, that some years ago the late Mr. Oldknow had attempted to stop up the road by putting up a huge gateway with a door in the centre a little below Windy- bottorn- Bridge, and near to Mellor Mill. Notwithstanding this obstruction, the Public con- tinued to enjoy the use . of the road until Mr. Ark- wright finally shut up the gateway. On Wednesday evening a number of persons, having occasion to go that way, and expecting to find the gates locked, took implements to force them open. The lock was forced oiT wiih a mattock by Mr. Thomas Bruce, when the party proceeded through the gate. On their way they were met by Mr. Arkwright, who had a double- baretled gun iu his hand. Addressing them he said, " If any person attempts to pass this way I'll blow him through, and shoot his head off." He then told them that the gun was loaded, and presented it to the breast of Willmm Barnes. On being told that he was acting In an unlawful manner, he replied that " he did not care a d— for the law." He immediately ordered two of his servants, the gamekeeper and woodman ( who are special constables), to take Mr. Bruce and Mr. John Mason into custody, who were handcuffed anil takon before Thomas Legh, . Esq. of Lyme Park; who, after a brief inquiry into the facts of the case, ordered them to be liberated — Two other young men who were Walking peaceably through the grounds at the time tbe circumstance happened, were taken into custody, but were suffered to depart without being- taken before the Magistrate.— Our informant states that the event has caused considerable excitement in the township, the inhabitants of which are determined to settle the question as to the. public right of road. The parties who were apprehended intend to. institute proceedings against Mr. Arkwright for his illegal conduct.— Manchester Chronicle. Captain told him he should not go across his fields; and the deceased then said, " You area great paunch- gutted ———, or you would have fought me." AGENTS.

The following interesting case came on for in- vestigation :— Thomas Tuohy and William (.' ostiga. ii were givtn in charge to the Jury for a burglary . aud robbery in the house of the Rev. Alexander Hoop: Rector of Newchapel, on Sunday, Ibe 3d November last. Rev. Alexander Hoops sworn, and examined by- Mr. Scott.— I am a clergyman residing in this county,; on Sunday evmiug, November 3d, about half- past five o'clock, ( the dishes not having been removed from the diuuer- table in the parlour,) I heard a noise below stairs; the dog was barking; almost immediately iny kitchen maid was forced into the parlour by five tnen, two of whom were dis- guised, and four were armed; one of them had a short gun newly stocked; two bad pistols; of any of the party, 1 had no previous knowledge, but 1 now know one of them ; William Costigan, one of the prisoners, is that mail ( he was here identified); he it was who hud the short gun ; a general demand for fire- arms was made; 1 told them 1 had none; I solemnly declared that 1 had not; one of the party, addressing the man who persisted in saying that I bad fire- arms, said, why don't you take the genlIo- nian's word ? they then commenced a search, but before they did so, I was assured by one of tliein, that if I bad £ 10,000 in the house, a half- penny of it would not be touched. Court— Were they in earnest? ( Laughter. J Had you £ 10,000 in your possession? Witness.— 1 should be glad I had, my Lord, but not for their use ; tbe search was commenced ; they proceeded with me up stairs, but used no violence; 1 opened all my drawers, but found they discoverer! nounns; they then came down stairs, and iu Ihe drawing- room one of the party ( who appeared lo h. ive been the leader) asked me for money ; I told tliein I had but 30s. ( never keeping money iu the house) iu iny possession ; Custigan, the prisoner, spoke rather roughly, aud said, 1 must bavemore; I handed them the 30s. note, soon after which they went away; 1 directed the house to be now well barred and secured ; about a quarter of an hour having elapsed, one of my servants came up stairs, aud told me the party were at tbe door, aud that they wanted lo come iu again ; 1 directed the door to be opened, because they had not used violence when in the house before ; three men now entered, and demanded whiskey; I opened the gar- du- vin, and while in the act of giving them a decanter of spirits, one of the party approached the head of the dinner- table, and helped himself to one of the dishes; the cook also helped him, after which he partook of some turkey— ( langhtcrj— the remainder of which he afterwards took up and put it under bis coat. Cl. oud laughter J I now handed thein Ihe whiskey, but Ihey said they did not wish lo put me to the expense of a decanter, and that a black bottle would answer them just as well; before they went oil, they observed that I w us a good fellow. ( Laughter J Cross- examined by Mr. Hatched.— I am quite sure I did not send the party cards of invitation they were uninvited giiesls; two were disguised, three not disguised; I did not identify any of the party hut Costigan. To the Court.— With regard to Costigan, I have not Ibe least doubt of his identity. The prisoners were identified by several other witnesses, and nculenced to transportaticm. HEREFORD ASSIZES. Sentence of death w as recorded against ten prison- ers, viz. IV. Thomas, found guilty of stealing 21 sheep at Aconbury ; William Price, for stealing one sheep at Goodrich ; Daniel Webb, for stealing three sheep in the parish of Ledbury ; Thomas Jones, for stealing one sheep at Hampton Bishop; William Preece, for stealing a colt at Hentland ; John Was- self, for stealing a cart mare, the property of Mr. T.

Williams, at Much Cowarne.— Thomas Eruns, for stealing wheat flour at Kington, and John Morgan, for stealing beef and mutton at Lugwardine, were sentenced to transporta- tion, the former for .14, and the latter for seven years. — Twenty- two were awarded to imprisonment for various periods; eight were acquitted; against ten no bills were found ; two were discharged by pro- clamation; two admitted evidence; one to lie re- moved to. Monmouth; and two were remanded till the Sessions. Hester Garstone, aged 23, pleaded guilty to an indictment for stealing certain records, books, and papers, the property of the Mayor ahd citizens of Hereford. She was arraigned upon a second in- dictment- fur the same offence, to which she likewise pleaded guilt'!. The pleas were then recorded. The prisoner appeared lo he deeply affected at her situa- tion ; she fainted, and was carried from the duck in senseless state. She was afterwards sentenced to one month's impristmmt nt. MT'KDER AND HIGHWAY RORBERY.— On Wed- nesday, Robert Floyd, aged 35, James Williams, 19, and John Roberts, 17, were indicted for the wilful murder of Francis Wellington, by striking hiiri on the head, on 3d " November last, and thereby hastening his death After the examination of several witnesses, the Learned Judge put it to the Jury, whether they wished the indictment for mur- der to be proceeded with upon such evidence. The Jury replied they did not, and the prisoners were ac - ordingly acquitted upon that charge. They were again arraigned for the assault and robbery of the same person, on the highway, near Lrigwardilie; flic death of Wellington having taken jftacc in Hereford Infirmary, from the injuries he h; ul sustained at the prisurters1 hands.— After the evidence fur tbe prosecution was closed, Mr. Baron Holland summed up at a great length, and observed, that, con- sidering the lives of the three men were at stake, and that the principal evidence against them was the sin lenient - of Wellington himself, made from recollec- tion of circumstances which took place at a time when he might not have been in a slate of mind to observe his assailants so as to identify them, he could not but approach the decision of the case with fear and troubling. The depositions, however, were made in distinct and unqualified terms, and in the presence of the prisoners; and it w- as for the Jury to say, coupling the other facts with them, and the defence - set up, whether they had any reasonable doubt of the guilt of all or any of the prisoners The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then returned a verdict of Guilty against ail ihe prisoners.— On Thursday morning, t. iey were brought up again, and his Lordship proceeded to pass sentence upon them. After an impressive address upon the nature of the offence, & c. Floyd and Williams were ordered to be executed on Saturday, April 10th, and judgement of death was recorded against Roberts. Nisi PRILS.— Penry v. Gwyllim and another.— This case was tried before Mr. Justice Littledale and a Special Jury.— It, was an action brought by the plaintiff, who claimed under the Earl of Abergavenny, Lord of the Manor of Ewyas Lacey, in Herefordshire, for a trespass committed by the defendants, in cutting down certain trees, w hich the plaintiff had planted, on part of the wastes of the Manor, and in the'moatof the ancient Castle. The defendants were represented as being supported hy a lady of the name of Dehaney, who had recently purchased a large estate in this county, and who was disposed to claim some interest in the ancient Castle, and tbe waste lands appertain- ing to it. The defendants had pleaded, first, that on the laud wh r.- the tres KISS was committed, they had with others a rv> ht to turn out their cattle to pasture; and, secondly, that there had been a fair held in Ewyas Lacey,- from time immemorial, three times in the year, and that Such fair was held where the trees in question had been planted, and that they were consequently obstructed in the enjoyment of those rights. It appeared that the Castle of Ewyas Lacey is of great antiquity, being one of those which be- longed in . early times to tbe Lords Marchers of Wales, and had. cume many centuries ago into; the powerful family of the Nevilles, with the Barony of Aber- gavenny, and other Castles and Lands in this county. That it had been uninterruptedly enjoyed for six centuries, without any question as to the rights to the moat or wastes surrounding the Castle until tbis occasion; In a very early stage of the cause Mr. Sergeant Russell, who led for the defendants, aban- loned the justification founded on the right of com- mon of pasture on the wastes surrounding the Castle, and said he should rest his case on the justification as to the, right to hold the fair on the spot in question. Mr. Taunton, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Maule, who were Counsel for the plaintiff, then called their wit-, nesses to prove the trespass, and to shew that the fair was not held, and never could have been held, in the moat of a Castle ; and Mr. Taunton adverted to the documentary evidence, with which he was pro- vided, should it be expedient to enler into it, to shew that the manor of Ewyas Lacey was one of the most ancient in the kingdom, consisting, in very early times, of 120 Knights* Fees, or upwards of 100,000 acres of land ; and that the Castle and Manor, as it now existed, he could deduce down to the present Earl of Abergavenny, from the Conquest, through the families of Hastings and Reauchamp, the Nevilles having acquired these estates by intermarriage with the heiress of the House of Beauchamp. As tbe defendants had, however, abandoned their claim as to Ihe right of common, he should confine the evi- dence to the right to hold the fair. Mr. Justice Littledale supimed up, and left several points to the Jury, who, after retiring, came in, ami found , a ver- dict for the plaintiff ou all the points. SOMERSET ASSIZES. George H.

Purefpv, Esij' This trial excited, considerable interest, from the prisoner being respectably tonhectcd, and having commanded a Gfceji vessel against the Turks. Mr. Gunning, for . the prosecution, stated the case to the jury, which will be understood from the following evidence. Mr. J. Purcfoy. was called. He stated that he had arrived at the York House, Bath, on the 1st. of January last; he went to Lop ! u » ', and returned to Path about the l?! h uf February. In his bed- room he hail a leather trunk, or vallaise, in which were batik notes to the amount of £ 00, besides 20 sovereigns. The notes were one £ i0, one £ 20, one £ 10, ahd four £ 5 notes of the Crunch Bunk of Ire- land at C'lonmel. The nntes rf'erc rolled up in a bundle, and the gold wrapped lip iu a piece of paper, both being in a pocket in the vallaise. On the Thursday or Friday preceding the j, t of March, he had occasion to see the money, having had an Irish t'l in his pocket for. some tirne, w inch he put into jh'ut same place, under the packet nf notes, he had seen the prisoner at the York Hfiiise - inel 1iiin in the passage to his bed- room no the Monday morning, when he looked confused. He found, on examining his trunk, that it had been forced open, and the money taken a tray. lie gave information of the robbery. The notes had been discovered before he found out his loss.— Charlotte Mines, servant to Mi's. Mickman, at Bath, slated, that, on thg 1st of March last she was walking in Ibe Gravel Walk, Bath, with two of her mistress's children ; while there, she saw a person come up the walk and put something into a hole in the wall, and force it in with a stick ; she watched tbe prisoner, and knew it was him when she saw hiin again. She told tbe circumstance to a fellow- servant, named Anne IV'- ch, who went with her to the place ; she took out some paper, which proved to he bank hills. They repeated it to Mr. G. Gordon, who took the notes to the Mayor; and the notes proving to be the same in value as those lost by Mr. Purefoy, the prisoner was apprehended, anil ultimately committed.- Jonathan Pearce, a little boy, who was driving a hoop on the Walk, also observed the conduct of the prisoner, and identified liim as bring the same individual he had seen on the Walk, — The Cashier of the Bank at Clpninel proved that he had paid Mr. Purefoy some of the £ 5 notes and the £ 10 notes in the latter end of December.— Mr. Sergeant Bumpas cross- examined the witnesses with great attention and minuteness, but nothing to shake their testimony in any material point was elicited.— The prisoner being called upon for bis defence, he addressed the Court v ith much firmness, and in voice which shotted he hud been vvell educated, and had mixed with good society. He began by saying he stood in a most unfortunate dilemma, neVer having had any legal experience during the whole course of his life ; he had been used to battles and fighting, and knew nothing of the turnings and windings of the law. It had been ohjcctcd to him that the pistols had been found loader! ; with his habits', and hearing of the daily robberies in this country, it should not excite surprise that he, who had been always used to carry arms, should have a pair of pistols loaded, par ticularly when it was known to all who knew any thing of fire- anus, that there could be no danger With percussion locks, wlieii there were no caps on. The money found upon him was money he received from his mother, and the duplicate of a watch and knives, pledged at Falmouth, arose from his having gone to Falmouth for the purpose of going to Malta; he sold every thing he could to pay bis passage, but. found the expense so great, that lie was obliged to return to his friends, to recruit his finances. - That his com- ing to the York House, without luggage, arose from the circumstance of his luggage being on board a vessel, and he c6uld int. get it out for three or four da « s, in which time lie had come down to Bath to see a friend he had there ; the hit of iron found upon him, alleged to be part of Mr. Purefoy's boot hook, he had picked up in the passage, and used it to rub offsome rust from one of his pistols. He put it to Ihe Ju ry whether, if he had taken the money, he would not have made off. He was not used to law proceedings, iujd he trusted the Jury arid his Lordship w- oiild pardon him the imperfections of his address Mr. Sergeant Bumpas called the Rev j.

He had known the prisoner for several It would appear from the declarations of the Ear! of Aberdeen and Mr. Peel in Parliament, that the greatest Unanimity exists between the three great Allied Powers on the subject of Greece; and that after the Easier recess the papers - w ill he laid before thepnblic.

The cause assigned, fpr , these and other outrages, nn- t foe flic Colliers leaving, their work is a requisition on fhe part of the masters for a, reduction in the price given for cutting and getting of coal, rendered necessary by the great reduction in the sale price of that article at Newport. The col' « rs, in the course of tbe lust wceK, repeatedly assembled in great numbers, variously reported at from two to four and five thousand, and the workmen at every colliery in the district have, been persuaded or com- pelled lo leave their employ. Several meetings of the parties concerned have been field in consequence^ and in the belief that a great majority, of the colliers were peaceably disposed, and desirous of a friendly conference with their master!!, a very numerous body of them were met by most of the principal coal- masters and coal- merchants, uf Newport, iii a field near Newbridge, in the parish of Monyth. usloyne, on Monday- week. Here, after various misconception* and ( as there is reason to believe of intended) mis- representations, as to Mr. Prothero having been the means of unnecessarily reducing the sale price of coal at New- port, and of having paid bis workmen in- adequate wages, having been satisfactorily refuted; by reference to facts, and particularly ( as to the latter charge) by the testimony of many persons in his employ ( hen present, Mr. Da vies, the surgeon of Pentwn Mawr, who had previously interfered between, the parties, after narrating fhe cause and tfiotiye of , his interference, stated op behalf of the colfiers, as by them commissioned, that their grounds of complaint were threefold :— 1st. As to price of coal at Newport; 2d. As to reduction of wages ; anil 3il. As to the payment of the workmen's wages ill goods, instead of in money, as Well as to the periods of payment— til regard to the first point, it was endeavoured to he shewn them, that the depression in the price of coal at Newport arose chiefly from causes over which neither they nor their masters had any controul; that this was provetl by the circumstance of all other articles having at the same time been reduced in price, many of them in a much greater degree, iti/ for instance, cotton aud woollen goods, the sale prices of which have beeff reduced one half, and some kinds even two- thirds, anil iron, the product of the neigh- bourhood, which a years ago sold for £ 12 per ton, whereas at present it did not fetch £ 6, whilst, lamentable and distressing as the change was," coals had been reduced at Newport only from 10s. per ton to 8s.; that the reason, therefore; for by fur the) greatest part of this reduction milst lie so'iiglit iii public and general causes, amongst which was un- , do'ribttdly and mainly an inordinate and destructive weight of taxation, rendered doubly heavy and un » years ; he is very respectably connected ; bis mother I bearable by changes, made by Acts of Parliament, iii living near witness in the vicinity of York ; his father is dead ; be was a captain in the navy. He had come from York for the purpose of speaking to the character of the prisoner, who has always main- tained a character highly respectable for honour and integrity. This Rev. Gentleman was cross- examined by Mr. Gunning, who asked him whether he was sure he was a clergyman ? The answer was, that he had been two years rector of Skilletori, previous to which he had been its curate fur ti n year-. To a ( jiicsliun whether he knew Mr. Purefoy, be replied he had known him about eight d lys, h i ving brought a letter from the prisoner's mother, tbe contents of which he supported, and which he believed was a proposal to compromise the affair. The prisoner knew nothing of the application— The learned Judge summed up at considerable length, pointing out to Ihe jury the Importance of their being satisfied as to the identity of the prisoner. He spoke of the mode of identifying, by tlie Mayor's officer, Diodil, as being out of the usual or proper method of doing so, it being the practice to let an individual be identified from among others, rather than bringing a person to swear to another alone. He also alluded to the extraordinary question put to the Rev. Gentleman, as to his being a clergyman or not, which he had never before seen done in any court. He went through tin- case as it related to the different | ir, nits, leaving the Jury to decide for themselvc- upon tiie facts they had before them. Tbe Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but judg- ment w as deferred. The proverbial expression, " Gaining a loss," appears very well illustrated in the cit. se of General Moniholon This worthy soldier, during the ascend- ancy of his imperial had occupied himself solely with his military avocations, and, on the return of the Bourbons, contentedly followed his general into exile, and faithfully attended him to tiie lust, poor iu worldly goods, but satisfied with his lot. Unfortunately for him Napoleon tiy his will sought to reward the fidelity of his follower by a lecacy'of 2,000,000 francs (£ 80,000). Montholon no sooner heard of his good fortune than, without waiting till his legacy was in his possession, he purchased an estate, called : Frenilly, for 600,000 francs (£ 24,000), and immediately commenced making extensive im- provements, the artificers of which he paid in bills, drawn so as to become due about the time he expected to receive - his legacy. It appears, however, ( hat when Napoleon made his will he imagined the house of Lifiltc to be in possession of 7,000,000 francs belonging to trim, whereas they only admitted three million franes, in consequence of which all the lega- cies were proportioiuihly reduced, and General Mon- thblon, instead of 2,000,000 francs, received onlv 800,000 fiancs (£ 32,000), and was obliged fo give Lifittc an indemnity against any future proceedings to s; t aside the will before they would pay him that He therefore resold tiie estate for 900,000 francs, of wjiich he receiv ed 300, 00 on account. In a short time, however, the purchaser, finding he had made a bail bargain, took advantage of a flaw in tbe title, and set aside the sale, calling on Mrinfholon fo refund the 300,000 francs, which, however, he was unable to do, having paid it all away to the different work- men whom he had employed in the improvements He therefore gave bills for tbe amount, ahd negoci- ated with the house of Valquier a loan of 300,000 francs on a mortgage of Frelrilly. They advanced the money in their own bills, but became bankrupts before Montholon could make any use of theiit. He was called on to take up his acceptances, and in despair he plunged into speculations with the houses of Martinet de Guilluy and Pcradt, the wool- spinners, and embarked in them not only the remains of his legacy, but the whole of his private property besides. All the houses with which he formed any connexion became bankrupt, and his creditors call for a similar adjudication against him. He alleges by his counsel ' that lie has never been m trade, arid be knows nothing of commercial affairs, is engaged in no barter save the interchange of blows, and only employed his spare capital in w hat he expected to be a profitable speculation, as any other honest country gentleman might be induced- to do, and with a similar result The evidence, however, was too strong ; tlie'number of bills bearing his signature, his intimate connexion with the manufacturers, all proclaimed him " nigo- ciant;" and accordingly the tribunal yesterday declared the poor general in a state of bankruptcy, and abandoned all- his . effects to his Creditors. So end the advantages of his imperial legacy of two millions of francs.— N/ tc Monthly Magazine.

That such proceedings cannot long he suffered with impunity is obvious, and that, the multitudes of workmen in th « Monmouthshire collieries have thus lost the finest opportunity they ever had, or airy ever again have, of securing to themselves the invaluable privilege of being paid tlieir wages in Money, instead of goods, and thereby placing themselves ( even with the re. duction of. wages required) on a muck halter footing, in theie times of general distress, th in labourers in any other part of Ihe kingdom, and thus ensuring the peace, comfort, and tranquillity of their neigh- bourhood, is a real subject of regret, to their best friends, mid will no doubt lie to themselves, in th « Ion; run, the cause both of sorrow and suffi rinj. SS& SSS- gflganaaasaBaa ? . FISIF ^• BFRV. I X SALOPIAN JOURNAL^ A? TO COURIER OF WALES. THE HOUSE OF LORES. [ Frvm the Quarterly ticrim.] There never was a period when more depended on Ihe conduct of the upper house of parliament. The peculiar stale of Ihe domestic policy of Ihe country, as v ell as of il* foreign relations, turns the eye. upon this house Willi intense and increasing j anxiety. On Ihe great questions of agriculture, of the rapid growth of the population, of the ciirrrncjrj of the state uf Ireland, of India, and, above all, of the condition of the English peasantry, it is to this house tnat » c ought to look as a mediator. From its ex « ailed station, from its independence and riches, from ils lofty sentiment^, imbibed with ils birth, from ils high manners, instilled by the exalted connexions which slurounded its cradle, it ought to be ' Above all pain, all passion, anil all piiile, Ti; c lage of power, tbe bh. si of pnlj'. ic breath, Tbe lust of Inert' ami tbe dread of death.' Such, at least, is what a House of Lords was intended to be. The wealth of the country has taken so new n distribution, that the character and interests of the ( i. inwra House are quite different to those of half a century ago. They do not see things in the same view, or with the same passions, and they are not under leaders ol tbe same habits and early impres- sions. \ Yc have now scarcely any ' great commoners,' if we may be allowed that, trite phrase, which was wont formerly to carry with it such a just and useful respect and influence. Almost all of ihe grand terri- torial proprietors have been translated into the other chamber; and almost all Ibe oratory and virtual management of public affairs is left to men w ho come from the bar— not always the best education for a great statesman, as was shrewdly observed and beau- tifully expressed by Burke, in his character of George GrenvHle. It has been snpposed that there is some- thing in birth, rank, and riches, that will not undergo tbe fatigue of high office, nor qualify for it ; bill ( his was not formerly the case, as the names of Strafford, Shrewsbury, Ha'rlcy, St. John, VValpole, the I'd ha ills, & c. will prove. It is at this moment for the first time become a vital question, how far the manu- facturing and commercial principle ought to prevail Over the agricultural. The cry has been so long and loud in favour of the former, lhat to doubt it is to he branded wilh the epithets of narrowness and igno ranee. Vet the rapid increase of our population, without a corn spondent demand for employment or growth of subsistence, begins to shake the faith of every solid thinker in these long- fashionable dogmas of political economy. That the happiness of tbe country has not increased w ith its wealth — that there is less of ease, content, anil virtue— is quite certain. That the enormous public debt is an alarming gricv mice, not merely with reference to men's pockets, but in its effects on the national habits and manners, may be shown by arguments which it will not be easy to resist. S: olid enjoyment is exchanged for enfeebling luxury, and generous hospitality for empty and selfish ostentation. Whoever remembers the course of life, fifty years ago, more especially in the country, from the nobleman, the titled commoner, or the gentleman of landed income, down to Ihe peasant, Jnnst be painfully struck with the marked dissimili- tude to the present state of things in the same situa- tions. Rank has lost its influence; everything is cold economy or thoughtless waste ; there is no noble establishment, calculated, by regular habits and a simple plenty, to spread comfort and blessings far And Wide Around it; — where generations of petty tradesmen; mechanics, and labourers, hare lived tinder the same masters, and contracted, from infancy, a respect which made then! obedient to the laws and satisfied with their lot. In those days much of the revenue of the soil w as spent upon the spot whence it Was drawn, to the benefit of those by whose labour it was brought forth ; tmd he who legislated for tbe poor workmen in husbandry was not a mere denizen of Ixmilon and Brighton ( our Rome and our Baia:!) — a persin perhaps, who, having entered parliament beardless, has, before lie comes to take any active part in affairs, forgotten what is out of parliament almost as much as tbe soldier does what is beyond the camp or the barracks— but one whose character Hurl principles were formed and self led before he became a senator, and who, while occupying that station, was iu personal communication with them for a great portion of the year, and knew their wants nnd propensities, and was linked with all their inter- ests. Iu those days opinion was, in many parts of the conduct of life, more powerful than law. A false polish, which destroys all character, was not sub- stituted for more substantial recommendations; at- tachments, which have since been taken to be blind and pitiful prejudices, were securities for faithfulness and honesty in the discharge of humble duties ; and domestics wore out their lives in the same service, as ignorant of the artifices of embezzlement as lltey were incapable of being guilty of them. From these causes, from the comparative lightness of taxation, from the absence of the pcrpotlral irritation of new wealth, always luxurious aud almost always insolent, families lasted for centuries in ease, affluence, and honour. They could keep their station without any sacrifice of that independence which' leads to enlightened views, and secures wisdom; without any of those ingenious sophistries which pressing self- interest in- vents or falls a dupe to; without any of those intrigues which debase the heart and darken Ihe understanding.. But this race of families— this nurs- ery fur legislators and statesmen— is nearly extinct. Though it is supposed that men of the hereditary rank, relying on the importance derived from their descent, arc accu^ lomed to neglect their talents, and indulge in idle and vicious follies, yet surely there are many among them with whom it is far otherwise. Where ' the spur of fame' operates, as it very fre- quently does, to lead a life of labour, it is almost always a purer fire than in those who have their fortunes to make. Their notions are mure enlarged, their sight clearer, and their feelings more intense and more refined. The falher of fhe illustrious Lord Bacon held the elevated oflice of Lord Keeper; and this wonderful son had been from his infancy nursed among the high, and familiar with affairs of state. If veneration for birth were indiscriminate, it may be admitted that it would encourage too many to abuse it; but the stream of prejudice, at least at present, runs the contrary way, and calls oil a man of dis- tinguished family to exert, himself with double energy to prove that lie is worthy of the rcspcct to which be aspires ; and that his pretensions, instead of being hollow and baseless, have a sound root. If he were to bring into the upper house certain low passions of intrigue, envy, and rivalry, and certain mean criterion* of judgment which mean occupations and mean station are too apt to generate, he would be unfitted for the duties which that house has to perform. Feeble or perverse talents, and cold or vicious hearts,- nre born in every station, and 110 early culture or discipline can entirely correct them ; but the habits of infancy will, according to their character, soften or encourage the original propensities, or amend or con- firm fhe original defects. Whatever disables us from an early conversation, on equal terms, with those to w'liom an experience of affairs 011 the great theatre of the world has given an extended wisdom, diminishes the chance of possessing lhat sort of cultivated inind which fits us for the higher departments of legislation or politics. There are a large class of philosophers and poli- ticians to whom these opinions may seem fanciful and empty ; the effects of unenlightened prejvlices and weak passions, which it may be said that the history of modern times has utterly put to shame. It is true that the aristocracy of Great Britain is not made up of the same ingredients as it was half a century ago; hut that the change has been for the belter remains to he proved. It is clear, that the genius of the British constitu- tion cannot be satisfied but by the interposition of a strong aristocracy, and that such an aristocracy can- not exist unless it lie mainly formed of the ancient and historic families. It would be a curious speculation — what would have been the fate of Fox's India bill in an upper house, differently constituted, iri numbers and qualify, from its state at that crisis ? Of Ihe one hundred and eight peers made since fhe commence- ment of Ibis century, only ten were English landed commoners, t. venty- nine were Irish peers, sixteen Scotch peers, ( together exceeding by one tbe repre- sentative peers of those countries,) eleven were generals, four admirals, twelve lawyers, six statesmen, three diplomatists. It surely cannot be doubted, that n political body so enlarged will see subjects of state nml legislation in a very different light, whether for better or for worse, than those of whom the upper house formerly consisted. It may be well that an fir dive body should be confined to personal merits; but it is quite otherwise with an hereditary body. Speculative politicians inav, in their Utopias, imagine better constitutions than such as have an hereditary aristocracy for a main component; but inasmuch as it is in fact a vital part of our frame of government, the quettiou is not whether it ij wixt or unwise, but whether it has been adhered to. Much is always said, and justly said, of the mighty power of public opinion and feeling; but then it is necessary to dis- tinguish between those temporary opinions and feel- ings which arise from caprice, accident, and fashion, and those which are implanted in our nature, and generally more or less prevalent in the human bosom. If there be any feeling which may be said to be universal, it is the feeling of complacence with which we submit to the superiority of those whom time has handed down to us as having for ages held the same distinction, comparatively with that of persons whom we remember our inferiors or equals, and who have since been put over our beads : often; too, as we are apt to suppose, by injustice or false favour. Let it not be suspected that this is meant to defend or propitiate the profligacies or the follies of rank and honours; they may be dreadfully abused, and were, in truth, most dreadfully abused in France before, the revolution. Nor has this happened in France alone : it occurred in England in the dissolute and disgrace fill court of Charles 11. There is certainly a dazzle ill high honours, which makes the people bear for a little while with the abuses of them; but, if their anger is once roused, they pursue them with a just | and fearful vengeance. There are unpopular fanii lies, to whom, having made a mean or intemperate use of their privileges, nothing can reconcile them. On the contrary, wc have, in our time, seen instances where firm and persevering ability,.. accompanied by probity and mild manners, have overcome the strong- est prejudices; and gradually given to families covered with calumny the pretensions which belonged to them. Tbe novelty of the French Chamber of Peers, and the choice of its members, imposed by the exigency of the crisis, afford practical evidence how much ( lie want of the predominance of an ancient aristocracy is felt, wherever it is meant that, there should be a monarchy. Though separated from flic Commons, it docs not seem to act as that useful poise, of which Fox and Pitt have spoken ; it is almost as much a popular assembly, imbued with popular passions, as the lower chamber; it has neither the weight of properly, name, nor early habits; aud the attempt on tbe part of tbe crown to manage it by a perpetual infusion of new members Cannot, in the nature of things, last long. Even in England, a much more sparing exercise of this practice has led to no slight dangers, and has indisposed the people to the influ- ence of high rank in a degree which has certainly had ill effects on the good humour and loyalty of tbe great mass of the nation. There is now among us a very preponderant, if not general, coldness to rank; and it niUst be confessed, that the real nobles — those which are the creation of time, and not of momentary ministerial favour— have sometimes been inclined to temporise and humiliate themselves more than became their dignity. Genius and abilities are not the inheritance of any particular rank, but are impartially distributed by Providence to individuals in every condition : if they who are bom to an ele vateil lot neglect these gifts, their culpability is flagrant; in them cxcellencc is most useful, and of them it will be most demanded. Why should they desert their posts, and leave them to those who are less qualified to fill them? Labour and danger are no excuses.

COMMUTATION OF TITHES. — That the Archbishop or Bishop of the may, on a petition from the parties con- A Bill has been introduced into the House of Commons, to enable clergymen and tbeir parishion- ers to, commute their tithes without resorting lo the expensive and troublesome process of applying lo Parliament iu each individual case. We have always held that the properly of the church is founded on the Same basis as that on which the best property of the kingdom rests— the convention of ages; it is applied to at least as important pur- poses— the maintenance of religion and morality, and we are not amongst those who consider thai rapine and fraud are the most legitimate and effective means of relieving national distress, or preventing social order. With these feelings we think the bill lo which we refer calculated to render church property more secure, by divesting it ' of those invidious peculiarities w hich sometimes surround it. Tbe leading provisions of the bill First- diocese cernetl, issue a commission to six or more com- missioned persons, neither directly nor indirectly interested, and to be sworn according to a pre- scribed form, for the purpose of commuting the tithes into a Corn rent. Secondly— That these commissioners shall cause to be made, by a lithe valuer, who shall also be sworn, and who shall be elected by a majority of ihe persons interested,- a plan of tbe titheable' laud, and an estimate of tbe annual tithes. Thirdly— That the commutation shall then be effected ou a valuation of the annual produce of the tithes, and on tbe average price and value of good marketable English wheat, at the principal market iu London, during the preceding 14 years. Fourthly—' That at fhe expiration of every seven years either party may apply to fhe Justices of the peace, to ascertain the value of corn during the preceding seven years, and to adjust the com- pensation for tithes by such valuation. Fifthly— That in order to meet any changes which may have occurred iu the cultivation of the lands, or otherwise, at the expiration of every twenty nine years either party may apply again to the Archbishop or Bishop of the diocese, for a new commission to be similarly constituted, and to proceed in the same manner as the first com- mission, iu commuting the tithes for a corn relit. ll is presumed that this bill will not only secure the property of the church, but provide that it shall increase or diminish iu the same ratio as the other properly of the nation. Its provisions are per- missive und not compulsory^ and will therefore be adopted or rejected, as ( adopting the phrase of the day) they may be found " to work well or ill."

CROWN LANDS.— In the House of Commons ou Tuesday night, Mr. D. W. Harvey, iu a long ail- dress, entered into a history aud description of tbe landed property of the Cro'wn, complaining that it had, for centuries, been disposed of by tbe Govern- ment, at rents aud pric. s w holly at variance with its actual value, and bad been thus used for the most profligate political and private purposes, as the means of securing ministerial interest, aud as Ihe reward of Parliamentary servility.— The llou. Member concluded by moving for a select com- mittee, to Consider the state aud management of fhe laud revenues of the Crown, aud lo report upon the most efficient way of rendering them available lo Ihe exigencies of tbe country.— Several Members argued that whatever may have been the mis- management or frauds practised with respect to the crown lauds formerly, no blame uf uuy kind attaches to the present Chief Commissioner, under whose direction they are annually improving in value and productive revenue.— On a division, Mr. Harvey's motion was negatived by a majority of 08 to 4G. THE INUNDATION AT VIENNA. Extract of a letter from Vienna, March 10:— " When 1 last wrote, a hard frost had set in, and has continued ever sincc; the thermometer constantly at four degrees under freezing. The water in the Danube has sunk seventeen feet, but has left enorm- ous masses of ice lying wherever it had risen. The whole of the Crater and the March Fcld is one enormous plain of ice, which will probably not have disappeared in less than a couple of months. The number of personsthal perished in the suburbs is now computed at some hundreds; but tbe whole popula tion of the March Feld for which so much apprehension was entertained, is luckily saved. All the inhabitants of the numerous villages dispersed over this large plain made a precipitate but timely retreat to the Bis- am- Berg, celebrated for the most famous Austrian wine, and to the chain of high grounds to the East. Thcv, however, were obliged to leave their cattle be- hind, which has all been destroyed— horses, cows, oxen, sheep, pigs, and poultry, not a hoof nor a feather remains! Many of the villages have been completely razed ; in others, but, a few houses anil the church are standing. As king as the waters were up, you have no conception of the distress lhat reigned through tbe suburbs. Here was a vast mass of population suddenly deprived of the commonest necessaries of life, and, strange to relate, amid the turbid waves that rolled around their dwellings, tbey suffered most from thirst. As the boats passed up and down the streets, conveying supplies to the more favoured bouses, they were assailed on every side with entreaties for water— 1 Wasser! wasser! wir brennen von durst!' The difficulty of supplying so large a district was, of course, extreme ; and many families are said to have passed 48 hours without food. As soon as the flood had subsided, the spectacle presented by the slimy streets and drenchcd habitations was truly calamitous. In many of fhe court- yards, men, women, children, and beasts, corpse and carcass, were lying promiscuously ; the latter were dragged off as quickly as possible, while the former were wrapped up in pieces of matting, and the name tacked to fhe clothing, when it could be ascertained, with as much decency as the hurry and terror of the moment allowed; all the ground- floor windows and frames were smashed to atoms; and even the iron gratings, with which they are universally secured, were often broken through, or bulged out, where the desperate prisoners had either attempted or effected their escape. Some of the bodies were found stiff, and clinging to the bars. Several families were discovered drowned in their beds; father, mother, and children, all in a heap. In looking through the demolished w indows, the mortal remains of some un- happy sufferers were to be seen 011 an average in every tenth house, aud generally a large hole was to he seen in the ceiling which the wretched beings had perforated in the last agony of despair, in order to make their way to the floor above. Nothing, not even a field ofbattle, could, I thirfk, have exceeded this scene of desolation. Every street seemed to present a different aspect: walls were washed down, doors stove in, trees rooted up, not a spot could be identified ; the streets were choked up with mud, and large logs of wood aud timber floated into them by Ibe current; and such of the unfortu- nate survivors as were not lamenting over fhe bodies of their children and other relatives, were busied in hauling out their soaked beds aud damp furniture to dry in the frosty sun, whose rays were at a mockery of warmth. But tbe sight beggars all description I I can give you 110 idea of the calamity. Thanks to the kind hearts of tbe opulent Viennese, however, the warmth of whose feelings is, I believe, nowhere sur- passed, much has already been done to alleviate the distress. 4 subscription has been opened, to which the I'mperor instantly contributed £ 4000, tbe Em- press £ 1200, Ibe four great mercantile houses of Arustein and Eskeles, Gcyniu'ler, Siena, and Roths- child, £ 3000, in equal parts. This collection is still going on briskly, and a very considerable sum will no doubt be the result. In addition to this there is an extensive lottery set on foot, the prizes in which are valuable articles of luxury, all voluntary contribu- tions, many of high price ; though the tickets cost but 5s each, a vast number have been sold, and the pro- duce of this lottery, which is to be drawn in a few days, is expected to be large. For the last ten days, there is not a family in Ihe town that has not been engaged in rummaging - out of every odd corner such old clothing, bedding, and furniture us they can spare, to send out for Ihe relief of the sufferers; so tliat at last it is hoped many a little household will perhaps be in a mure prosperous condition than before tbey were visited by this direful event. The inhabit- ants of the March Feld have not yet been enabled to re- enter their villages; as soon as fhey return, they will have enough to do with rebuilding their cot- tages; as for their little property, with the exception of their fields, all has been carried off; their bene- factors are, however, not without hope that sufficient funds will be collcctcd to furnish theui again with live stock. In case you should make this communication public, it may be as well to add, for the satisfaction of their friends, that the two English gentlemen who are here on the steam- boat speculation, for the navi- gation of the Danube, are saved, together with the vessel they are building. the nature of their ABSTRACT Of the Attorney General's Bill " for the more effectual ADMINISTRATION of JUSTICE in England and Wales."

( Hear, hear.) He belonged to that party which had the welfare of the country most warmly at heart: he would tell the Noble Lord, and all who talked of factious motiics being the foundation of his conduct, and that of his Noble Friends who supported him, that he would never be able to influence his vote in that House, or to in- timidate him and bis Noble Friends by calling them Ultra- Tories, Ultra- Whigs, or whatever other name they might be pleased to use. He would vote for Ministers when lie thought they were right, and he would oppose them in every fair parliamentary way when he thought they were wrong."— Debate, Thursday night. LAVALETTE'S DREAM WHEN IN PRISON UNDER SENTENCE OF DEA TH. We are indebted for the following striking rela- tion to the Foreign Literary Gazette, in a Review of Lavalette's Memoirs, just published, upon bis death, in Paris, and which, if we may judge from this journal, is an extremely interesting work: — " The gentle firmness of his manner, during the trial, might lead to tbe supposition that he was resigned ; but no sooner had he returned to bis solitary dungeon, than Ihe soldier shrunk from the contemplation, r. ot of his death, but of tile mode of his intended execution. He had a friend, au old companion iu arms, whoat that time possessed some influence. To him he addressed a letter, imploring a melancholy favour, soliciting that a soldier might be spared a felon's death. A cold refusal was Ihe only answer. With a view to steel bis heart against this fruel injustice— to fain liarise himself with tbe idea of an ignominious punishment, at which his soul revolted— be daily questioned his gaolers on the subject, and exacted the most minute details relative to the hideous and humiliat- ing preparatives of a public execution. The sinister ideas with which his mind was occupied, filled his days with agony, and agitated bis slumbers with fearful visions. One dream in particular wilh which he was visited appears so remarkable, that we make 110 apology for quoting it precisely iu his own words:—' Oue uight,' says M. Lavalelte, ' I had sunk into a torpid slumber; the clock struck Ihe hour of midnight, and the slow monotonous sound awoke me. I distinctly beard the iron gate opened, and the heavy tread of the sontry advancing to relieve bis conirade- froiiihrs post; 1 again fell asleep. In my sleep 1 bad a dream. I thought myself iu the Rue St. Honor!?, near fhe Rue de I'Echelle; tbe scene was enveloped in profound and dismal obscurity ; all was still, save that from time to time a low inarticulate sound was heard. All at once, from the bottom of tbe street, a troop of fleshless men and horses approached me. Their riders were armed with flambeaux, whose light glared redly ou their bleed- ing sinews, their sunken eyes rolling in their large orbits, their mouths opening from ear to ear, and helmets of flesh hanging from tbeir hideous beads. The horses dragged their hides after them in the kennel, which overflowed with blood to the houses ou each side, at the windows of which appeared for a moment, and then disappeared, a baud of pale, dishevelled females, all silent as tbe grave. Low inarticulate moanings were heard in the air. I was the only living being in the street, where 1 re- mained mutionless with terror, and without even strength to seek safety iu flight. The fleshlcss troop pushed on at full gallop, and as they passed, other riders succeeded and petrified me with their appalling gaze.— For upwards of five hours they filed past. At last they disappeared, and were succeeded by a quantity of artillery wagons laden with mangled, palpitating corpses; an- infectious odour poisoning Ihe air. On a sudden, the iron gate was shut with violence, and I awoke. 1 struck my repeating watch— it was no more than twelve! Consequently, the horrid fantasmagoria scene bad lasted only two or three minutes— the time neces- sary for relieving the sentries and closing the gate. The night was piercing cold ; the sentinels were quick in passing the watch- word ; aud, besides, tbe gaoler next morning confirmed my calculation. — However, there is rio one incident of my life the duration of which I can recollect with more cer- tainly, or the details of which are more deeply engraved or. my memory."' ENORMOUS CONDOR.— In the course of the day I had an opportunity of shooting a condor ; it was so satiated with its repast 011 the carcase of a horse, as t > suffer me to approach it within pistol- shot before it extended its enormous wings, to take its flight, which w as to me the signal to fire ; and, having loaded with an ample charge of pellets, my aim proved effectual and fatal. What a formidable monster did I behold in the ravine beneath me, screaming and flapping iu the last convulsive struggles of life! It may be difficult to believe, that the most giganfic animal which inhabits the earth or the ocean can be equalled by a tenant of the air ; and those persons who have never seen a larger bird than our mountain eagle, will probably read with astonishment of a species of that same bird, in the southern hemisphere, being so large and strong as to seize an ox with its talons and to lift it into the air, whence it lets it fall to tbe ground, in order to kill it and to prey upon the carcass. But this astonishment must in a great degree subside, w lien the dimensions of the bird are taken into consideration, and which, incredible as they may appear, I now insert verbatim from a note taken down with my own hand. " When the wings are spread, they measure sixteen paces ( forty feet) in extent, from point to point; the feathers arc eight paces ( twenty feet) in length ; and the quill part two palms ( eight inches) in circum- ference. It is said to have powers sufficient to carry off a live rhinoceros"— Temple's Travels in Peru. DESCENDANT OF COLUMBUS.— The following interesting note is appended to Mr. Irving's abridge mcnt of his Life of Columbus, iu The Family Library •—- ' While this abridgement was going to press, the author received a letter from Madrid, mentioning a recent, circumstance, which may be of some interest to the reader of this work. The emancipation of the Spanish Colonies ill America had stripped the heirs of Columbus of all their property, insomuch that bis last descendant and representative, the Duke of Veraguas, a young nobleman of worth and talent, was reduced to extreme poverty. He instituted a claim upon the government for indemnifi- cation, which has just been allowed. A pension of 24,000 dollars has been assigned him on the revenues of Cuba and Porto Rico. It is a circumstance highly to his credit, that, in the time of his greatest distress, he refused sums which were offered him for various documents in Ihe archives of his family, and particu- larly for autographs of his illustrious ancestor." ARTIFICIAL MAGNETS AND THEIR USES.— Dr. Keil of Laugensalza, has discovered a method of making artificial magnets of enormous force, and infinitely more powerful than those as yet made, without great increase of dimensions He has also by their means cured many diseases dependant upon the nervous system. Tbe most powerful magnets as yet made have been large, and have not supported more than 88 or 110 pounds; but Mr. Keil has made one which sustains 45 pounds, and yet weighs only 3 pounds 6 ounces. He has another which supports 480 pounds. This magnet is in the form of a horse shoe and is composed of 9 plates — The length is 17 inches, and its weight 43 pounds. This discovery is said to be of great importance in medicine. The magnetic influence upon diseases has been supposed 10 have been long known, and even cures effected in some cases by making ROLLS COURT, MARCH 23.— Judgment— Bichley V. Guest— The Master of the Rolls gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued some days ago at considerable lenglli. The question at issue— one of considerable importance in the law of real property— was, whether the levying of a fine extinguished a power under a marriage settlement to raise portions for younger children. His Honour, after reading at considerable length notes of his own in Sir John Birnie's case, aud observing upon Albany's case, Digger's ca; « , Burd and Christopher, Edwards and Slater, King and Melling, Tomlinson and Digjitun, Seville r. Blackart, and Merse and Faulkner, stated his opinion clearly to be, that the levying of the tine extinguished the power ; and, therefore, that the Court felt itself bound to dismiss the bill, but, taking all the circumstances of the ease into consideration, without costs. RAPIDITY OF CONVEYANCE.— We understand, that it will shortly be determined, whether applica- tion shall be made to Parliament, in the next session, for leave to form a rail- road to connect Ihe important towns of Liverpool and Birmingham. The nucleus, we hear, of a company is already formed to establish a rail- road between Birmingham and London. If this project lie carried into effect, London and Liverpool will, by means of steam conveyance, lie brought within ten hours distance of each other,— less by four- teen hours than they are by the present mode of con- veyance. We recollect the period when, twenty years ago, the London mail was thirty- one hours on its journey, leaving- the metropolis at eight at night, and arriving in Liverpool between three and four o'clock 011 the next morning but one after. At the same prriod, the time occupied in a voyage from Liverpool to Dublin, by sailing vessels, was not unfrcquently four or five days : now it is occasionally accomplished by steam vessels in eleven, and generally in fourteen hours. When a rail- road- shall be formed between London and Liverpool, Ihe journey betwixt the English and Irish metropolis may be easily performed in twenty four hours. We perceive, . by the Carlisle papers of Saturday, that the east and the west coasts are, by means of a railway, to be brought in closer contact than they are at present. Tbe railroad be- tween the city of Carlisle and the port of Newcastle- upon- Tyne was commenced 011 Thursday last, with great pomp and ceremony. When the railroad shall be finished, the journey between the two places will, by means of locomotive engines, be performed in four hours; so that a person leaving Newcastle may, by steam conveyance, reach Liverpool, via Carlisle, in less than twenty hours. A WILD BOAR HUNT.— A scene which we suspect has not been w itnessed before in Scotland for many a day, took place lately by the side of the Deveron, in Banffshire— a wild boar hunt.— Some years since the Earl of Fife iuipoited a boar and three sows of the true German breed, which reared a numerous progeny, all savage, of a dark iron- gray colour, and uutauieable as tbe parent stock. Some of them long traversed the forest of Braemar, but all dropt off one by one, except a fine boar which Ihe Earl presented to a keen sportsman, Thomas Peel, F. sq. at Caruoiisie. Here the animal rusticated in inglorious ease for a time, till one day he contrived lo escape to the adjoining woods, whence he sallied at uight to the neighbouring turnip and potatoe fields, rooting up all that came in his way. One night he happened to find himself beside the beautiful mansion house of Dunlugas, and he began ploughing up the eai th w ith his tusks till he had made a wide deep furrow across tbe whole lawn. These pranks rendered the boar an un- welcome visitant wherever he went, aud many ineffectual attempts were made to shoot him.— Lately, however, he Was driven forth by the deep suow, aud coming in contact with a boy, the beast threw him down, and literally slripf off his clolhes, but without inflicting any injury 011 his person.— The boy ran home with the tidings of his escape from bis assailant, and next morning the whole country side turned out wilh dog and gun to hunt the boar. His path was easily tracked on the snow, and on meeting the tierce intruder, a spirited scenc ensued. His extraordinary speed, no less than his ferocity, kept tbe belligerents at bay for some time, but he was al length destroyed, pierced by a number of bullets. The animal had evidently suffered sorely from famine during his wild campaign in the woods aud snow, and the marks of several shots, of old endurance, were visible ou his grim gauut carcass.— Inverness Courier. The Indicatcur de Calais, after noticing the statement published in England of the number of British subjects in France, who were said to be 31,000, spending annually 74,000,000 francs, says that it can communicate information ou this subject which our pride would not allow us to publish. It then states that there are iu France 52,000 English, 10,000 of whom could not return to England without being arrested there for debt; that 1,946 are known to be insolvent; that 2,404 have been sued for debt in France ; that the total amount of their revenues in England might be40 millions of francs; but that, in consequence of the expenses incurred by duties, stewardship, payment of English taxes, and bank and exchange charges, they only receive in France 17,400,000 francs, and that the amount of debts which they have contracted, but which could not be officially ascertained, was, in 1828, more than six millions. IRISH AFFECTION.— The affidavit of an Irishman, swearing the peace against his three sous, thus concluded— Aud this deponent further saitli, thai the only one of bis children that showed any real affection, was his son Larry, for he never struck him when he was down. ANIMAL CATACOMBS.— The following singular fact is related by tbe Count de Montlosier, in bis Memoirs, just published in Paris. It is highly curious, and, as far as we are acquainted, perfectly new; and the general observation of which the fact is illustrative ( that of the extreme rarity of meeting Willi any instances of wild animals dying of what is called a natural death) has been less attended to and investigated than almost any that could be named, though il is one of singular interest, and of great importance as connected with the study of natural history. The Count de Montlosier says, that his thoughts had long been occupied on the manner iu which animals, living in a natural state — hares, rabbits, and game of all kiuds— met their death, and of what becouies of their remains; and he had repeatedly promised large rewards to game- keepers aud others, who would procure him any animal in that slate, but had never been able to meet with one. lie then adds, that afler having long made himself acquainted with nearly all the caves and caverns in the mountains neighbouring the spot where he resided, there was one which had hitherto remained unexamined even by himself, and was quite unknown to everyone else; which he had, till the day he was speaking, neglected to examine passages over tbe affected parts by means of. • , . .- r. t -- . - , ., r . ,, , ., 1 , ,, » minutely, 011 account of the extremely small opening magnets.

APPLICATION OF MAGNETISM TO MEDICINE.— Dr. Becker has published a long account of effects produced by powerful magnets 011 nervous and other patients. His conclusions are, that mineral magnetism is a very efficacious agent in nervous paius, especially when they are of long standing; that it is not of any utility, but rather injurious, when inflammation or any other excitation of Ihe vascular system accompanies these pains; and that its effect is less sure on recent nervous cases, because they are frequently accompanied by un- perccived febrile affections.— Hu/ fiand's Journal. THE HARE, A NATURAL PHILOSOPHER Coursing owes all ils interest to the instinctive consciousness of the nature of iuertia which seems to govern the measures of the hare. The grey- hound is a comparatively heavy body, moving- at the same or greater speed in pursuit. The hare doubles, lhat is, suddenly changes the direction of her course, aud turns back at au oblique angle with the direction in which she had been running. The greyhound, unable to resist the tendency of its body to persevere in tbe rapid motion it bad acquired, is urged forward many yards before it is able to check its speed aud return to the pursuit. Mean- while the hare is gaining ground iu the other direction, so that the animals are at a very con- siderable distance asunder when the pursuit is recommenced. In this way a hare, though much less fleet than a greyhound, will often escape it.— Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopadia, Vol 1'.; being a Treatise on Mechanics, by Captain II. ICater and Dr. Lardner. 011 tbe bauds and knees, and even then allowed it with great difficulty. Oue day, however, he succeeded in getting in, and his surprise was great on finding himself in a large vaulted cavern, so high lhat his hand could not reach the top of it. He advanced a little way, but finding it perfectly daik, and that he was in danger of losing sight of tbe orifice by which he had entered, he immediately got out again, aud went in search of light and assistance. O11 returning, and making their way again into the cavern, they discovered that it contained a vast number of skeletons, which appeared to be those of hares or rabbits. They were extended 011 the ground, all placed in a nearly similar manner, and showing at once that they could not have been brought there by any beasts of prey, as the bones were all perfect, and even the cartilages were preserved ; and of some there were even portions of Ihe hair and flesh not yet decayed.— This relation is extremely curious, and deserving of the strictest investigation ; its authenticity is not to be doubted, as the Count de Montlosier, who relates it, is still living. SAILORS' FREAK.— On Tuesday last, a parfy of sailors just paid off at Chatham, determined to make all sail on a voyage to London, had eight horses put to a coach, and after laying in a good stock of pro- visions, a smalt quantity of water, and lots of gin and rum, they quitted harbour in fine style, amidst the cheers of the numerous spectators.— Kent Herald. For complaints in the Slomach and Bowels, which so frequently prevail in this variable Climate, as well as for alleviating those distressing maladies the Gravel or Stone, no Medicine has been found more efficacious than Dicey's Genuine Daffy's Elixir, which may be purchased of most respectable Medicine Venders either in Town or Country.— Particular Care should be taken to ask for DICEY'S Daffy's Elixir, and to observe that the Name of Diccy and Co. is engraved in the Stamp.

POOR'S- RATES : IMPORTANT SUGGESTION. — At the Court, bouse in Manchester, on Thursday week, a case was heard upon a summons of the overseers of Liverpool, at the instance of the overseers of Man- chester, to show cause why an order should not lie made upon Liverpool for the maintenance of a child bom in that parish* The woman deposed that tbe child was eij>' ht weeks old; that she had been some years a widow, having previously had two children still living ; that she belonged to the parish of Manchester, and had come to Liverpool to look after the father of her child, which w as born w ithin a week after she arrived there, and she soon afterwards returned to Manchester. The Liverpool overseer complained of Ihe personal inconvenience and of tiie unnecessary expense incurred by this summary proceeding, which, most probably, would have been avoided, if a previous negociation had been entered info by letter, which, he stated, was always tha practice in Liverpool towards other parishes, thereby saving trouble, litigation, and expense. The magis- trates observed, they understood that such was the general practice; if hot, they most strongly recom- mended it between parishes 011 every possible occasion, and tbey deferred making any order. The woman was directed to be sent to Liverpool, to enable that parish to take the requisite legal proceedings. We notice this case for the purpose of expressing our Conviction, that the adoption of ( he recommendation of the magistrates by all parish officers will economize the poor's rates by avoiding litigation. On the 21st ult. a fire broke out in the extensive sugar- house of Messrs. Downward and Ryland, in Harrington- street, Liverpool. Notwithstanding the efforts made to save the premises, their interior was entirely consumed, tbe outer walls only being left standing. The damage is estimated at about £ o0,000, but insurances in different officcs will, we understand, cover the amount. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.— On Friday, as seven men anil two boys were being drawn up from the coal pit, at the Paulton engine, Somersetshire, when they were nearly half- way up, the rope suddenly broke, and they were precipitated to the bottom, a distance of 150 feet. Five of them were dashed to pieces, presenting, ou their being brought lip, a more melancholy spectacle than was, perhaps, ever witnessed. The other four were dread- fully injured ; of two there are no hopes of cure, aud very little of the others. The medical practitioner will see advertised in our columns this day a most useful work for the daily purposes of his business, by Mr. Rennie ; it is " A new Supplement to the Pharmacopoeias of London, Edin- burgh, Dublin, and Paris;" and forms a complete Dispensatory and Conspectus; indeed, it may be said lo be a general receipt book for daily use in the laboratory and at the counter, and a most desirable companion to the druggist and the apothecary. Monday se'nnight, a battle was fought at Erding- ton, near Birmingham, between William Fitter, a working jeweller, and Thomas Hill, a thimble- maker; at the termination of the 48th round, Fitter was laken up lifeless, and his antagonist afterwards carried home in a most dangerous state. Both the men would have given up the fight long before it was decided by Fitter's ilea'. h, but the seconds would not permit them ! Preston, Jackson, and Hastings, concerned iu the fight, have surrendered, and will take their trial at the ensuing assizes. Hill, the principal, was taken into custody under the Coroner's warrant as soon as the verdict of " manslaughter' 1 was returned ; he was then ill ill bed from the injury he sustained in the battle. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.— A bottle was found by some fishermen last week, near Berehaven, Batitry Bay ; it contained a letter addressed to a gentleman in Scotland; a bond for £ 600; also a note requesting tbe tinder of the bottle would forward them ao directed, which has been complied with.— Cork Mercantile Chronicle. To REMOVE A TIGHT STOPPER FROM A DECAN- TER.— It frequently happens that the stopped of a glass bottle or decanter becomes fixed in its placo so firmly, that the exertion of force sufficient to withdraw it would endanger the vessel. I11 this case, if a cloth welted with hot water be applied to the neck of the bottle, the glass will expand, and the neck will be enlarged, so as to allow the stopper lo be easily withdrawn.— Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopccdia, Vol. V; being a Treatise on Me- chanics, by Captain II. Kater and Dr. Lardner. The coroner's inquest 011 the body of Mr. O'Grady terminated its proceedings on Wednesday, when the following verdict was returned :— w Wc find that Standish Stamer O'Grady came by his death by a pistol ball fired at him by Captain John Rowland Smyth, of the 32d regiment, on the morning of the 18t'h inst. at a field on the Grand Canal, near Kilmainham Commons, in the county of Dnblin ; and that the said Capt. John Rowland Smyth is guilty of manslaughter. That Capt Frederick Markham, of tbe 32d regiment, was aiding and abetting the said John Rowland Smyth, nnd that Lieut. Macnamara, of the 8th Hussars, was present as friend to the deceased, that the value of the pistol produced is twenty shillings, and that the parties are not forth- coming." Captain Smyth, accompanied by two friends, arrived in town from Dublin 011 Tuesday, and proceeded for the Continent the same day. A new edition has just been placed in our hands of one of the most ingenious and complete grammatical works wc have ever seen— viz. " A Guide to the French Language," by M. Ic Brethon. Those who desire to learn the language without a teacher, or where the teacher is not perfect in it, can have recourse to 110 book so safely as to this grammar. After illustrating all the rules as tbey occur, by brief exercises and examples, the work is completed by a body of recapitulatory exercises, in which every variety of construction that occurs has a number referring to the rule in lfs proper place, the rule having been previously marked by a corresponding number printed very conspicuously in the margin. THE CELEBRATED PIIOFESSOR PORSON'S IDEA OF A COLLEGE FELLOWSHIP.— The most con. spicuous object iu looking ucross the bridge, up the long walk of Trinity College, Cambridge, at a distance of four or five miles, us most Cuntabs will remember, is the neat spire of a country church. The celebrated Professor Porson { who used lo ridicule the idea of clever men being pent upiu the cloisters of a college till they were sixty or seventy years of age, waiting their turn for a college living) never saw the before. mentioned " spire of a coun- try church" without observing, " that it reminded him of a college fellowship," which, he said, " was a long lane with a country church al ( he end of it." The following medicine for a cough has performed such extraordinary cures, in private practice, thut the possessor is induced to publish it for the benefit of society :— Take six ounces of Italian liquorice, ( that stamped Solazzi is by far the best), cut into small pieces, and put into an earthen jar, wilh a quarler of a pint of the best white wine vinegar, simmer together until the liquorice is dissolved, then add two ounces of oil of almonds, and half an ounce of tincture of opium, stir the whole wc'l together, and it is fit for use. Take two spoonfuls when going lo bed, and the same quantity w hencver the cough is troublesome iu the day time.—. American Farmer.
