This Paper is circulated in the mast expeditions Manner through the adjoining Counties of ENGLAND and WALKS jldveriisements not exceeding Ten Lines, inserted at Six Shillings each WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21 [ PJIICE SEVEN PENCE* BEER TRADE. The following is the substance Of the resolution* ofthe select committee,' as Submitted by Mr. C'ulcraft on Thursday week to the House of Co'rnmoiis : That, from loth October next, it shall he lawful for any person to sell beer by retail, on his taking out a license to that effect from the Excise- office in t. bndon, Qr the collectors aud supervisors of excise in the country. Such license to cost £ i. 5>. s. and to be in force for twelve months. Persons selling beer to use the standard measures, and rto other. Persons selling beer by retail without a license to incur a penalty of not less than £ 10 nor more than £ 20. To he liable to the penalties for permitting drunkenness or other disorderly conduct in theil* houses in tbe same manner as tbe licensed victuallers, and to be liable to similar penalties if their beer be in any way adulterated. No sheriff's officer to be allowed io cell beer by retail. Such is the report of the committee. The licensed victuallers, on the other band, held a meeting several days ago, and came to the resolution of petitioning parliament against the proposed bill. This petition is of considerable length, and expresses in strong terms their apprehension that, in the event of the bill passing into a law, they will lose the chief part of the money paid by them for the goodwill of the public- houses they respectively occupy; also that, if the sale of beer be laid open, it will no longer be in the power of the excise to prevent its adulteration.

I procured two small bottles from Mrs. Deigliton, your agent ill that eity. which my wife took, and afterwards a large bottle, which she also took before the complaint seemed lo give way: we were then almost ready lo despond and" di « contiiine the medicine, hut being urged still to persevere, she did so, noil after taking a few' more hollies, I am happy lo inform you she litis gained a complete Cure, and now enjoys good health ; is able to Attend to Iter domestic concerns as well as she was before her dreadful affliction.

The King took au airing on Monday for some time. During the night his Majesty became indisposed. Sir He nry Halford, who was in attendance at the Palace lhat everting, and who, according to his usual practice, slept there, left the Palace nit Tuesday morning, and came to town, but thought it advisable to return to Windsor in the evening Sir Henry came to town on Wednesday morning, and again returned to ( be Palace, when, finding that the King's attack of illness had increased, Sir Henry" sent for Sir Matthew Tierney at an early hour ou Thursday looming. Sir Matthew immediately left town; on bis arrival at the Palace the two medical gentlemen behl a consultation on the slate of the King, and afterwards issued the follow ing bulletin, a few minutes before one o'clock :—-' " Windsor Castle, Apiil If).

The King was considered by Sir Matthew Ticmey to be a liffle better on Friday morning His Majesty remained in the same favourable state during fire whole of the day ; it was not therefore considered ntccssarv to issue a bulletin. Shropshire General Quarter Sessions. In the King's Bench, on Saturday last, an attion was tried, " Coxe v. Amcyl," to recover compensation In damages for a breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff Miss Susannah Coxe, is 22 years of age, and is ( he youngest of the three daughters of Mr. Coxe, a cotton manufacturer at Leicester. The defendant Mr. Anwvl, who is about 40 years old, is in the silk trade, and is the son of a clergyman in North Wales. — The Jury returned a verdict for Ihe plaintiff with £ 500 damages. DREADFUL FIRE.— Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Grant, baker, No. 84, Fetter- lane, Holborn, which, front the time of night and the nature of tlie premises, struck the greatest, terror throughout the neighbourhood The fire, from all accounts, broke out in the lower part of the front of Mr. Grant's house, which, in a few minutes after its first disco- very by Ihe watchman, burst forth with great fury at. the shop door and windows, to the imminent dan- ger of tire lives of no less than 18 or 20 human beings, who, including Mr. Grant's family, inhabited the house. It was mostdistiessing to see the inmates, ( in their night chillies only,) at the different upper windows, screaming for assistance. Ladders were procured as soon as possible, by which some escaped with little injury. Others, seven or eight in number, Ihrew themselves out of Ihe windows, and three of them were carried in a dreadful sfale to the hospital. ' Fhe lire next communicated to the house of Mr Wright, the eating- house- keeper, No. 83, which, as well ns Mr. Grant's, and Mr. Smith's ( grocer), No. 8b, all built of wood, were on fire at the same time.

Charles Walcot, and John Brown, Esq. In the Appeal of the parish of Shipston- on- Stonr against the parish of Newport, Mr. Whateley, coun- sel for the appellants, moved to have the order respited till next Sessions, in order that an indenture of the pauper, which, if correct, went to shew a settlement in Newport, might be properly stamped, so as to be given in evidence.— It appeared that the indenture in question had been originally prepared and duly executed for a previous apprentice, who ran away; the names of the parlies as also the year of the reign were then erased or discharged by some process, and the same indenture was filled up for the purpose of binding the pauper. — Mr. Bather ( with Whom was Mr. Corbett) contended, that this case was very different to that of an instrument, written originally and without fraud on blank paper, being subsequently stamped to put in evidence; for here was an instrument that had been duly stamped and executed, and was afterwards fraudulently obliterated and re- written upon, and the Court could not lend themselves to such a purpose as his learned friend Mr. Whateley wished: for if they did, there was scarcely any description of fraudulent writing or forgery which could not be amended by such a pro- cess ; and it would be in tiie power of artful villains to deface and forge almost every description of deed wilh impunity — The Court then refused Mr. Whaleley's request.— The learned gentleman next proceeded to show that, the order made oil behalf of the respondent parish was informal; and in this he succeeded.— Hie order therefore was quashed for want of form. In the appeal of the parish of Dartford, in Kent, against the parish of Stoke- upon- Tern, the question mooted was as lo the renting a tenement of the value of £ 10 per annum.— It appeared in evidence that the husband of the pauper, named Peate, had for some time been the proprietor of a coach running through Dartford. In this line he had occasion fur a stable, and he became tenant, to a Mr. Collier, an innkeeper at Dartford, for the premises in question : he held from . Mr. Collier a stable situate in Mr. Collier's yard, and be bad also the use of part of an open shed to put his carriage in, as also a place in tlie yard for his manure : he never paid any rate, and in his examination he stated that he did not know who did pay the rate, but he paid to Mr. Collier a rent of £ 10. It was Contended by Mr. Corbett, for the appellants, that this was not a holding of a rateable tenement of the annual value of £ 10, according to the meaning of file Act of Parliament; for here the rent of £ 10 was not, paid for the stable as a tenement, but was a sum of money paid by Peale in consideration of his having the exclusive use of the stable, together with the use iu common with Mr. Collier and others of the shed, wilh a portion of the yard, thereby showing that he could not be an| occupier of what, according to the Act, was a rateable tenement of £ 10 per annum.— Mr. Bather and Mr. Whateley, for the respondents, insisted that Peate had rented a tene- ment within Ihe meaning of the Act; the cummoii- sense view of the case was, as common experience testified, that a person taking a stable must have a place for his manure, with the use of such con- veniences as a common yard afforded wherever the stable so rented was situated as this was. Here the stable had evidently been vented at £ 10 with the use of the shed and yard as adjuncts or easements thereto — After a long deliberation ( the Court being divided in opinion) tlie Order was confirmed.— Mr. Corbett then applied for a case to go before the King's Bench upon the subject, and after some discussion it was granted. The trials of the prisoners commenced yesterday, the Hon. Thomas Kenyon being Chairman. John Haughton, aged 29, was convicted of having slolen 33 iron tram- rails, the property of the Lilleshall Company, from the mouth of a coal- pit at Wrock- wardine Wood, and was sentenced to he imprisoned to hard labour for 0 calendar months. Thomas Salt and Thomas Ncvett were convicted of having stolen 3 cwt. of hay, the property of Mr. Henry Skelding, of Bridgnorth;— Salt had been previously twice convicted of felony, and be was, therefore now sentenced to he transported for 7 years; and Nevett was sentenced to be imprisoned for three calendar months. John Halt, aged 21, was convicted of having stolen a hedging hook, value two shillings, the pro- perty of George Ruscoc. Allen Pinches ( an old offender) was convicted of having stolen a pair of shoes, the property of Mr. John Roden, of Shiffnal, innkeeper, and was sen- tenced to be imprisoned fi months to hard labour. Edward Pursuit* an engineer, aged 25, and Joseph Davies, a collier, aged 36, were indicted for taking otit of the steam- engine belonging to Messrs. Collier and Foster, at New Hadley, an injection valve, with intent to damage or render useless the said engine, thereby committing a felony.— It appeared by the evidence of Mr. Jones, one of the superintendants of the works of the prosecutors, that the injection valves with other portions of the machinery are often made of brass, and many of them are, therefore, slolen. In Ibis case, the engine to which the valve was attached, was employed to drain four pits, and if the offence had not been immediately discovered, the engine could not have been worked until the defect had been discovered and repaired, and a great number of persons must have been for some lime out of employment. The prisoners were, however, caught in the fact, and although they made off, were speedily re- lakrn— Several persons gave them a good character. — The case was proved in the most clear manner: and the Jury having found them guilty, they were sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for 6 calendar months. Joseph Hates, a hawker, was convicted of feloniously taking a silver watch out of tlie pocket of Mr. Samuel lladen Jones, surgeon, at Wellington— It appeared that on the night of the 29th of March last, which was the fair- ilay at Wellington, the prosecutor and many other persons were spectators of a fight in the street at Wellington, when the prose- cutor was hustled and pressed hy the prisoner, and feeling a pressure at his neck from the chain of his watch- guard, be found that some person had ab- stracted his watch; he seized the prisoner; and several persons that were present proved lhat they saw the prisoner draw the watch from the fob : the watch, however, was not lost, for although it was thus drawn from the fob, the guard- chain secured it, and it remained suspended thereby to the person of its owner—" Fhe Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for 3 months. Ann Forester was found guilty of stealing a hive of bees, tlie property of Mary Barber, of Bing's Heath, near UtKngton, on the 20th of March last, and was sentenced to be imprisoned six weeks. John Rushton aud Richard Webster, travelling tinkers, were found guilty of assaulting Thomas Gottgh, constable of Wem, when in the execution of Iiis duty, and were sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for 6 months.— Thomas Gallagher, charged wi; b being an accomplice in this offence, was acquitted. Thomas Simmonds, for stealing several articles of wearing apparel, the property of Joseph Meredi *, of Dorrington, was sentenced to be imprisoned three months to hard labour. Benjamin. Timer, for assaulting and beating George Evans, at Cleobury Mortimer, was fined 10s. and entered into recognizance himself in £ 20 and two sureties in £ 10 each to keep the peace for 12 months. William / taker and David Brandwood, from Wolverhampton, who had been apprehended when about to engage in a prize fight near Bridgnorth, and bound over to appear at this Sessions, gave their assurance that the contemplated fight was abandoned, and entered into their own recognizances to keep the peace for three months. James Binding, of Worthen, who had beeti bound over to appear at this Sessions, to answer lo a charge of assaulting Richard Stokes, appeared before the Court. The prosecutor and several other parties who had likewise been bound over to this Sessions, were called upon their recognizances, but did not appear. Bunting said the case had been amicably settled by himself and Ihe olher parties, through the interven- lion of some neighbouring gentlemen, and they had been told that it was only requisite that he should appear! The Court discharged Bunting: the other, parties. Wilt, probably, have t. r pay the penalty in- curred by forfeiting their rero,; iiizaiices. The Court then adjourned until ten o'clock this morning. Committed to our County Gaol, Samuel Fox, charged with inciting Randle Crewe to steal a bandon kerchief the property of James Hitchen ; William Johnson, John Breeze, and Robert Jones,, charged with having stolen two bushels of malt, value seven- teen shillings, the property of Mary Lloyd, widow. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.— A shipwreck, attended by a melan- choly loss of human life, took place on Friday night last, off the island of Bardsey. The Xewry, Captain Crosby, from Ncwry for Quebec, with 300 passengers on board, men, women, and children, was caught in a gale from the S. S. W. and at ten o'clock, p. m during a dense fog, she struck on the rocks at. Poother, to the northward of. Bardsey island, off the Welsh coast. About 200 of the passengers saved themselves by reaching the rocks: the remainder, amounting to about 100 souls were, dreadful to relate ! drowned.

It is, in fact, a case exactly resembling that of a landlord and tenant • and when I shall have'so proved the case, and also when 1 shall have proved the tiHe of the lessors of the plaintiff to the premises, which I shall most clearly do, I think you will, under his Lordship's directions, agree in giving- your verdict in favour of the lessors of the plaintiff. Gentlemen, it appears that in the year 1744 one David Stephen was tenant for life, and that his son, Stephen David, was tenant in tail in reversion, subject to his father's life estate therein, of a tenement, of which the site of the pre- mises now sought to be recovered formed a part; and by indentures of lease and release, made between the said David Stephen and Catherine his wife, and Stephen David, their el dest sonr of the first part, George Robinson of the second part, and Evan Evans and Timothy Quarrel of the third part, the said tenement was conveyed to the said George Robinson, for the purpose of making a tenant to the precipe for suffering a common'recovery thereof, which recovery was accordingly suffered ; the uses thereof, as to the premises in dispute, were in consideration of the sum of £ o, declared to ensure to the use of the" said' Evan Evans and Timothy Ciuarrell in fee, such sum • of £ 5 being the full value for the same. And hy indentures of lease and release, dated 25th and 26th of June, 1745, the said.. Evan Evans and Timolhy Quarrel! conveyed the snid premises to John Kenrick and several other persons, in trust, to build, a chapel for religious worship upon, with a power to appoint new trustees when the number should be reduced to the num- ber of three or less. In the year 1783 the said John Kenrick and Lewis Rees, who were the only survivors of the trustees of thedeeds- of 1745, conveyed the same to Benjamin Jones and nine other persons, upon the same trusts; audit is necessary that I should call your attention to this deed particularly, because 1 shall shew you most, clearly that the defendant came into possession under the surviving trustees of this deed. Ben- jamin Jones was, I believe, the survivor of the trustees of the deed of 1783, or one John James ; but it is not very material for me to prove that ' fact, as counts are laid upon the joint demises of the whole, and upon the demise of each of them separately ; aud it will be rather for my learned friends on the other side to shew their deaths, otherwise they will be presum - ed to be living. Gentlemen, it will be proved that before the defendant was appointed minister, one Dr. George Lewis was his predecessor, and the terms upon which Dr. Lewis ( as well as the defendant) was put into possession will be proved. It will appear that Dr. Lewis left about 18 or 19 years ago ; upon his leaving, the officers of the chapel ( called Elders and Dea- cons), on behalf of the trustees, put a woman of the name of Jane Thomas into possession of the house, and to take care of the chapel; she continued in such possession for two or three vears, when the defendant was appointed resident minister. " From the time of his appointment until seven or eight years ago, the defendant and his congregation went on quite agreeably', but about that time unfortunate differences took place between them, and a large majority of the members and congregation determined that he should leave. This determination was made known to the defendant, when he, instead of leaving, dismembered all those who were opposed to him, and refused to leave, and also locked the doors of the chapel against the majority of his congregation. Upon this an action of ejectment was brought against him, which was tried in this place, but which, on account of a technical objection upon the record, was unsuccessful; care has, however, been taken t. o guard against the objection now, and I hope that we shall be as suc- cessful as we were unsuccessful the time before. The defend- ant having been repeatedly applied to to leave, but he positively refusing to do so * lias denied and disclaimed the title of the trustees to turn him out, and sets up a title in himself adverse to that of tlie trustees, which dispenses with the necessity of giving him, as tenant, notice to quit. These, Gentlemen, then, are the" short facts. of the case. It is certainly very much to be regretted that these unfortunate disputes have taken place, but as such has been the case, the legal rights of the parties must prevail; and I feel confident, under Iiis Lordship's directions, that you will give your verdict for the lessors of the plaintiff. Mr. COCKEUILL,— Mr. Attorney- General, we have given you notice to produce the deeds of 1783 : do you produce them, or shall we give secondary evidence of them? We have the draft here. • Mr. ATTORNEY- GENERAL.— We will produce them. The deed was then produced, and read at full length by Mr. TEMPLE. John Williams, examined by Mr. COCKERILL.— I live at Llanuwehllyn ; 1 am a member of the dissenting congregation there; I have been so 45 or 46 years: 1 am one of the elders of the society ; I recollect Dr. George Lewis minister of this chapel; he resided in the house adjoining the chapel; I was then an elder ; there is a door out of the house into the dhapel; it is from 18 to 19 years since Dr. George Lewis left; he is now- dead : he was chosen by the congregation, and was put into the possession of the house bv the trustees; they do not come there personally, hut authorize the officers, who are called elders and deacons, to put the minister into possession, who is so nominated by tlie congregation. LTpon I) r. Lewis's quitting there was an interval without, a resident minister ; during that interval Jane Thomas lived in the house, as servant to the officers of the chapel. The defendant, Michael Jones, was the minister who lived in the house next after Dr. Lewis; he was put into possession about 16 years ago; he was elected in the usual, way : I was then one of the elders, and he was put into possession of the house by the officers; he had just finished his education. The agreement with him was, that he was to have £ 20 a- year and the house to live in. The course the church takes when the members wish to discharge or change a minis- ter. is, to consult together to ascertain the general feeling, and then to inform the minister of it. A general meeting was held as to discharging the defendant; the opinion of the majority was that the defendant should leave. Upon all such occasions the opinion Of the majority of the members binds. I was one of those wtfo communicated the resolution that he should leave . to defei^. int, but he refused. . Cro/ s- examined by tl; e ATTORNuY- GGNERAL. - When a ne\/ minister is appointed the general opinion is taken, and the,- majority rules; the new candidate then comes upon trial ; tiie invitation is in writing and signed by the members. We act under the authority of the trustees." As far as choosing the minister, the trustees do not interfere ; the officers are author- ized by the trustees to put the . minister into possession of the bouse, & c.; they act under, a general authority from the trustees ; the members of the church appoint the officers ; the trustees do not interfere in their choice; there is no authority in writing that I am aware, of1; I never beard any particular" authority given by the trustees, but we " conclude that we act under the trustees. No person is considered a member unless lie communicates. 1 cannot exactly say, in point of number, how they stood, but there was about 100, besides the officers, for defendant's leaving, and about 50 for his remaining ; it took place about six years ago or more; I have not communicated with the defendant for somewhere about six years. 1 recollect Hugh Roberts leaving- the church ; I left at the sametime; I have - not communicated in this chapel since'; defendant locket! us out, and we could not go there., I have not been to chapel since. Re- examined by Mr. C'OCKERILL -- When we gave him notice to quit tli; defendant expelled lis, and he took the Sacrament with those who joined him. There is a form of excommunication or dismemberment in oilr sect; it is an- nounced publicly in the chapel • the defendant passed sentence of dismemberment upon all those who opposed liiYn • I have not attended his ministry since, because we could not agree in opinion with him. I remember a bench put up in the chapel by the widow of David Stephen. Upon that occasion the deed of 1783 w- as made, for the purpose of better protecting the right to the place. Abraham Tibbott was then minister. After the deed was made the bench was removed. By the CorRT. — I had taken the Sacrament, with the defendant the last time lie administered it before he dismem- bered us; we used to have the Sacrament administered monthly Benjamin Cadwalader, examined by Mr. TEMPLE.— 1 am a member of the dissenting congregation at Llannwchllyn ; I have been a member for 40 years; 1 remember the bench put up by David Stephen's widow. Abraham Tibbott was then minister. The deed of 1783 was made the better to substan- tiate the right to the chapel, and the bench was removed by one Robert Roberts, then an elder of the society, in my pre sence. { remember defendant coming into, possession ; he was appointed by the members in the usual way, about 15 to 18 yearsa^ o. There were older members than myself, and I considered him put into possession on behalf of the trustees. Ever Since the affair of the bench, I considered the chapel belonged to the trustees. Cross- examined by Mr. WILLIAMS— After the resolution that he was to leave was come to, we told him that the opinion of the majority of the members at the general meeting was that he ought to leave. 1 cannot exactly tell what num. her was present at the general meeting; it was the largest meeting that I ever saw. Hugh Robert, examined by Mr. COCKER ILL.- - I have been an elder for forty years nearly ; I recollect defendant appoint ed minister about 16 years ago ; defendant was put into pos- session of the house by the officers aiid congregation, uuder the authority of the trus'ees; the trustees were not actually present, but we knew there were trustees under whom we acted; it was generally known to those who took at) active part in the congregation, particularly to the elders and deacons," that there were trustees. Abraham Tibbott was minister, and also trustee; lie lived in the house, an 1 con- stantly interfered in the execution of the trust. The opinion of the congregation was taken, and the determination was to part with defendant. 1 went to him to communicate that determination to him ; I went more than once, but he refused to leave. 1 went to him again on the 9th of March last, by the direction of Mr. - John Williams, of Llanfyllin,' the attorney for the plaintiff; I made a memorandum of what then took place; 1 have got it. I demanded possession on behalf of al| the trustees of the deed of 1783, also on behalf of the siiry. iyors and survivor of them, and on behalf of Benjamin Jones ( junior), the heir at. law of the survivor. Defendant said that he would not give up the possession, and that they had no right to the premises. Cross- examined by the ATTORNF. Y- GENERAL. - We came to thS determination to part wilh the defendant because we con id not agree with him in tenets, doctrine, and church dis- • ipline. 1 have not left the general connexion, but haVe left lefendaiit's ministry. There Was a general meeting, when we determined lo part'wilh defendant. There was a meeting of the Presbyterian Dissenting Ministers ; they were almost all or' the same opinions as defendant, and thought we were wrong and they right. We exercised our right-. of dismissing our minister in the case of Abraham Tibbott. The majority of the members was for the defendant to leave. Upwards of 100 ( besides the elders and deacons) were for his leaving, and about 40 or 50 for bis remaining. Mr. David Williams, examined by Mr. COCKERILL.— I am an attorney at Pwllheli ; I am brother to the plaintiffs' attor- ney, and in July, 1822, I was his articled clerk. 1 called, by his directions, upon defendant, respecting the dispute between tlie parties, when he shewed me the deeds, and I took an abstract of them. Defendant then said that he came in under the trustees of the deed of 1783, one of the deeds which he then produced, and that they were the only persons who had any right to turn him away. I saw him afterwards at Bala, and asked him whether he intended leaving; he said he would not — that he was upon friendly terms with Mr, Benja- min Jones, the surviving trustee, and that lie was sure Mr. Jones would not join lo turn him away. Mrs. Catherine Jones proved the death of her husband, Benjamin Jones, the surviving trustee of the deed of 1783, and that Benjamin Jones, the lessor of the plaintiff, was his grandson aud heir at- law. This closed the case on the part of the plaintiff. The ATTORNBY- GKRER AL, on'the part of the defendant, contended that the trustees had no authority to interfere; that their trust was only to permit and suffer the premises to be used as a chapel ; that the legal estate was not , in the trustees, hut in the defendant, Michael Jones. He also contended that the trustees could not. maintain their eject- ment. against the defendant; that, if so, the trustees might put in a Turk' or a " Heretic, or a man without any religion at ! all. Also that the church was full, and that if the plaintiffs wanted to contest their rights,- they ought to have chosen another minister, anil then apply for a mandamus to put him into possession. The learned gentleman cited the case of Rex v. Barker and others, 3 Burrows, 1265- 6, to shew that such a course would have been correct. He likewise con- tended that the trustees could not recover upon the strength of their legal title, as it would be inconsistent with the trust; also that the defendant's holding was in no way assimilated to the case of a landlord and tenant, because here the landlord, nstead of receiving rent, had to pay a salary. Mr. Justice RAINE-- Gentlemen of the Jury— I feel my- self bound to tell you, that in ray opinion this is a very clear case, and that the case of the lessors of the plaintiff has been made out most clearly and most satisfactorily, and that you must, beyond a doubt, find a verdict in their favour, with one shilling damages. If defendant's counsel, upon consider ation, should think I am wrong, the Courts above are open to them to set me right; but I can see no pretence for a defence to this action.— Verdict for Plaintiff Counsel for Plaintiff, Mr. Cockerill and Mr..

IIORSF STEALING.— George Eaton alias George Edwards, alias James Rrereton, alias Thomas Steele, one of the men w ho made his escape from the custody of the officers who were conveying him to the hulks in November last, pleaded guilty to three indictments for horse stealing in the neighbourhood of Nantwich. In one of the indictments James Parkinson and Peter Curry, were charged as accomplices, to which Ihey pleaded not guilty, it was proved by the evidence of several witnesses that two horses were stolen on the 17th of December from a field belonging to Mr. Bleesc of Lea, and on the following day they were taken to the repository of Mr. Lucas al Liverpool, for sale. Two of Mr. Lucas's servants swore that the prisoners were " the persons who brought them.— For Ihe defence it was proved that Parkinson was in Liverpool, about his usual employment, at the time the horses were stolen, and he was traced from the morn- ing on which the horses were taken to Lucas's till noon, as being in different places, at a considerable distance from the Haymarket. He was, however, seen at Lucas's about one o'clock on that day, and was apprehended there. When taken before the magistrates, he told the constable that he was innocent and was only afraid of one man, whose name was Bcllis, for he was the only one to whom he had offered Ihe horse for sale.— The jury acquitted Parkinson and found Curry guilty.— Death recorded. Joseph Huxley, 31, was indicted for stealing a gelding, the property of Randle Cook, of Faddiley, nearNantwich.— The prosecutor is a publican, and the prisoner resides in Manchester. On the 17th of December, Ihe prisoner, who had been staying some days at the Three Pigeons, in Nantwich, called npon Mr. Cooke, and looked at the horse, under pretence that he wished tc buy him. On the 19th the horse was missed from the stable, and was traced by the prints of his feet to near Frodsham, on the road to Manchester. Suspicion then fell upon the prisoner, and on search being made, tire horse was found in his stable at Manchester. The account which the prisoner gave of the horse was that he had bought it from a Mr. Jones, of Mold, for twenty guineas.— Guilty.— Death recorded. At the same Assizes Job Molineux and Daniel Molineux alias Clark, were convicted of stealing a mare, tile property of Mr. Henry Parry of Rowton, and had judgment of death recorded agains* them.— Judgment of death was also recorded against Joseph Godson, for sacrilege at Norbury. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at Bristol has been held, for the purpose of considering the provisions of a bill now passing through Parlia- ment, intituled " .1 Bill for the more effectual ad- ministration of Justice in England and Wales," and particularly with reference to a clause, whereby it is proposed " that no person shall be liable to be arrested for any debt or demand under the sum or value of £ 100, except upon the special order of a Judge of one ofthe superior courts, to be made upon sufficient cause shewn to him by affidavit." A peti- tion has been resolved upon, praying that such an alteration in Ihe law may not be made. This is a subject. of the utmost importance to the commercial and trading community throughout the whole country, ami well deserves the serious attention of persons engaged iu Irarle. MR.

POT and STONE, 3. Southampton Siren, Bloomsbury, Loudon; or lo Mr. THOMAS IIARI. EV Knrr. ii, Solicitor, Shrewsbury. IRELAND. We have not of late paid much attention to the affairs of Ireland— we thought it only fair to give the agitators of that Country ci year's trial, to sec how the healing measure was to work. We' pre sorry to s;? y that our fears of the consequences hat e been verified — Ireland is in nothing benefitted by. tile abolition of the remnant of the, penal code,. aiul the work of agitation has commenced as violently as ever. The Roman Catholic Association lias revived in another shape, and the objects which the opponents of eman- cipation always predicted would be those sought, after that measure had been carried, are precisely those which are occupying its attention. These objects are, for the present, the repeal b!' thc Union ; and it is scarcely concealed that the Ulterior measure of a total and a hostile separation is contemplated. What is to follow is not yet announced, but it requires but little perspicuity to foresee tliat: the uncontrolled domination of Popery ih Ireland would be the imme- diate consequence. The constitution of the . Society is ominous of sedition. It purports to be a Society of United Irishmen, the very title Which was adopted bv the sanguinary conspirators of 1798 : and two of the tiist members proposed are a lawyer, who confesses that he was, " a marked m, ah" ft oni ft is connection With those traitors, and a- person who avows himself to have been one of their " Generals." The object of the clients of the one, and the, followers of the other, was, to do them justice, not at all concealed. It. was nothing more nor less than a general massacre of the Protestants of Ireland Wherever they obtained any success they butchered, with the most dreadful atrocities, such as thrusting, out of eyes, cutting out tongues, and other horrors, every person- of the obnoxious creed that fell into their hands— they piked hundreds at Wexford, burnt alive over two hundred, in a barn at Geullebogan, among whom were several women and children: massacred all the Protestant inhabitants of a village called Prosperous — all the. se and. other dreadful enormities being com- mitted under the guidance and encouragement of their Ecclesiastics. The crime alVged against the victims was not being,- opposed to. the insurgents in arms, for that was seldom the case, but simply because. they did^- not believe in the infallibility of the Church of Rome, or rather of the Irish Roman Catholic priests. The sermons preached, the oaths imposed, the resolutions passed by the rebels, all tended to the one object— the sanguinary uprooting of Protestantism. Admitting the surviving actors in these scenes into the new Society of United Irishmen, declaring as a Mr. Redmund did, that the actions of the rebel General were the first things that had inspired their minds with patriotism, or lauding, as Mr. O'Connell did, the " humanity" of those ferocious and cowardly . ruffians, speaks very plainly what, is the real object of the Union : nor are our suspicions less awakened when we find Mr. Lawless pronouncing it as his opinion that the peasantry are right in rising lip in revenge against the oppression brought upon them by the Union. These, then, are the first fruits of the measure that was to bring peace into Ireland ! Such fruits are always to be expected when any measure is carried avowedly out of weakness. In the speeches of the Irish demagogues we find no trace of gratitude to the Duke of Wellington or Mr. Peel for their political apostacv— on the contrary, their administration is described by Mr. Antisell ( and, we think, very justly) as a weak and impolitic Ministry. The liberal Pro- testants who supported Roman Catholic Emancipa- tion are openly, and with fitting, retribution, reviled and insulted. In fact, so far from extinguishing the spirit of party, the measure of last. Session has only diverted it into a more dangerous channel. It is not now a struggle to obtain equal rights, but to cast off the yoke of England altogether. We do not fear that this object will be accom- plished very soon— or indeed that it will be acdom- plished at all— but then it must be resisted in a different manner from that in which the Roman Catholic Question was resisted. The policy of the Country must be settled on a decided and unalterable basis— from which no , clamour or threats shall be allowed to dislodge it. We must have no imitators of Mr. Peel — ready to declaim for twenty years about the dangers to be apprehended from the disseverance of the Union, and then prepared to wheel about and plead for the hurried Carrying of the measure* on the ground that it was demanded with threats and Violence. The shuffling and vacillation that marked and disgraced the year 1829 must not. be repeated— if it be laid down in accordance with that fatal precedent that nothing is required but insolence and menace to accomplish any object, no matter how inconsistent it may be with what has always been considered the honour and the interest of England — there is an end not only of our Constitution, but our Empire. It is high time to look to this— the materials of discontent abundantly exist, already in Ireland in the great distress of the people. True it is that the Irish peasant can subsist under circumstances that would appear the depth of ruin to the English labourer— but. ^ till there is a point of depression which even he* accustomed as he is to misery, must feel to be intolerable. The people, according to Mr. O'Con- nell, who may be believed in this matter, are starv- ing : advantage may be taken of their wretchedness to urge them into guilty designs.; and w hile we hope that, the Government will have the energy to repress treason and insurrection, we hope also thai it will have the wisdom and the humanity to apply remedies to distress* so much of which has been occasioned by its own acts. At Gloucester Assizes, on Friday last, Thomas fo. t; aged 50, was indicted for the wilful murder of William Wicks, at the parish of Bislcy, on the 2' 8fh January last, as noticed in a former Journal, and William Cox* aged 21, was charged with being accessary after the fact.— After a patient investigation* the. Jury returned a verdict of acquittal as to William Cox, aftd found Thomas Cox guilty. Sentence of death was immedi- ately passed upon the prisoner^ and. he was ordered to be executed on. Monday last. T. he Briton frigate,- C'apt. the Hon. W.

The opening of the Elbe has liberated consider- able quantity of German wool, ; an<! the arrival* within the last ten or tw'elve days amount to 5000 bags into Hull, and 3000 into London.

A meteoric stone fell at Launton, near Bicester* oh the 15th of February lasSt, at about half past seven L » i the evening. A labourer in the employ of Mr. Cross saw the meteor descend into some newly- dug earth in his garden j which it penetrated about a foot. The explosion was violent, and a person who heard it. at .

Latelv, however, he seemed to regret his long celibacy, and one evening) his. friends finding him in an unusually pleasant mood, gathered around him, and at. length prevailed upon him to " pop the question" to a neighbouring female, who^ they had no doubt, was disposed to let slip no oppor ® tunit. y of exchanging single blessedness for matrimonial felicity. To this lady, however, be " onward pressed liis way," and knowing from experience the " shortness of time," and having a decided aversion to any thing romantic, he resolved to adopt the most concise way of " despatching business." On knocking at the door the matron maid presented herself* and having- ascertained " her to be // cr," he proceeded to " explain;" " Madam," said he, " my friends wish me to be married — they think you would suit mc— I have no objection— 1 give you a fortnight to consider of it; good day ma'am;" leaving the astonished damsel to meditate on the proposition.

APRII. 6tii, 1830. fittoccllancqiis EuMHgfnce. A Gentleman who advertises in tH<? Morning Herald for a w it'e, says that she must be a decidedly pious lady, " as he is." There is now living at Winslow, in Buckingham- shire, a man, whose name is William Ovitts. He was the second person who enlisted into Elliott's regiment of light dragoons, raised in fhe year 1758, and was one of the first tiventy who were fully accoutred and mounted under the inspection of their Major, Sir William Erskine, at Northallerton, and is uow, and has been fur some considerable time, tbe only survivor of that regiment, as originally formed. This man is known to have been an excellent and brave soldier while he served in that regiment, from which he received his discharge about thirty- six years since. In the battle of Freyburgh, w hich took place near the conclusion of the seven years war, when the hereditary Prince of Brunswick was attempted to be carried off tiie field a prisoner by two French dragoons and a foot soldier, Ovitts, single handed, galloped after them, killed the three French soldiers, and rescued the prince. In this gallant exploit he was badly wounded. Tbe prince took him to quarters, had him carefully attended until his wounds were healed, gave him a purse of one hundred guineas, and recommended him for promotion. The latter he modestly declined, on account of his education and habits being such as were not suited to any rank above a private soldier. This man, now about oiie hundred years old, with I hose infirmities and wants which are usually attendant upon so advanced a period of life, is obliged to take refuge in, anil submit to the privations of, a parish workhouse. The Worcester Jo'irncl says—" Wn understand that a meeting of the barley growers of this county will be shortly called to petition against the proposed increase of duty on British spirits, tbe probable effect of which would be to render inferior end damaged barley nearly unsaleable. The substance of the British Distillers'argument is, that the West India planters can supply I'll III at or below two shillings per gallon, which, added to 8s. 6d duty, enables it to be brought to market at 10s. per gallon. Now, British spirits can hardly, even at present, when grain is cheap, be made for so little as - 2s fid. a gallon, w hich, with the duty of 8s. will raise the cost price to at least 10s. fid. per gallon, and experience has shewn that at equal prices there is a disposition in the public to give a preference to ruin ; in fact there has been an increase Of 50 percent, in the consumption of rum since 18- 26. In the year ending 5th of January, 1830, tbe corn spirit distilled in England amounted to 3,860,54* 2 gallons, and in tbe same period the rum imported for home consumption has amounted to 3,702,143 gallons."

[ From the Oak tree Ffall Papers.] We are getting too learned, Mr. Editor,— mark me, we are getting - dangerously learned! I remember the time, Sir, when 1 was looked up to as the most scientific man in our villageV— if there was any strange appearance in the heavens, I was always called upon to explain it, s if any body found an old coin or an extraordinary bone, it was instantly brought to me for inspection. It was 1 that taught the parish singers to perform their music in parts ; it was 1 that put up the sun- dial over tbe church porch ; it was 1 that caused the old spire to be pulled down, lest it should become an attractor to the electric fluid ;— iu short, Sir, I was at once the adviser, the ruler, the orator, and referee of the win Ic parish. You may • judge, then, if 1 can mark with calmness the innova- tions that are daily taking place among us; and you may form some opinion, Sir, of the feelings of a man w ho, having been the absolute oracle of his friends through a long ( and pardon me if I say useful) life, finds himself at last contradicted by his own nephews and nieces, and jeered at by those very people » . vho were, not long ago, bis own disciples. AVhat is worse than all, Mr. Editor, is, that my greatest favourites, they whom 1 had marked out for th^ ir wjt, and cherished for their superiority of talent, hav$ been the very first to adopt the n*! tv lights, and ihe most eager to undermine my theories, and anni- hilate my opinions. There is Eliza Matilda, for instance, my next door neighbour and prime favour- ite, s!* o has become a phrenologist; and frequently, when I happen to be at her house, and there arc other phrenologists in company, she insists,— you will luyrdl^ believe it, Mr. Editor, but it's a fact, upon my honour,— she insists on my taking off my wig, that » he may point out to them certain organs, which she is pleased to say are " very strongly developed" on 44 ray cerebrum and cerebellum." To be sure, these organs are rather of a flattering description, or 1 should never suffer such a liberty; but, bless me! Mr. Editor, what's to become of us, if these things go on ? We shall have no need of judges and juries at that rate ;— a man has only to be suspected— take him up-— examine his skull— there's the bump— and off with him ! Then, there's Miss Myrtle, Rose by name, and the prettiest girl in tbe parish,— she has turned botanist, forsooth; and if I present her with a Forget- me- not, a flower of all others that I think the properest to be presented to a lady, she begins to examine the pistil and stamens; and when I tell her, in a neat im- promptu, that it is an emblem of love, and conse- crated to the tenderest. emotions of the heart, # he declares that its a Pent and ria Monogvnia, and imme- diately enters into a learned harangue about tbe nec- tarium, and the corolla, and the receptaculum, and the pcricarpium. Her sister Mary is a confirmed mineralogist, and puzzles you by calling the very commonest things by the very uncommonest names. If you admire her diamond ring, or pearl necklace, she assures you that the one is nothing but a bit of I chrystallized charcoal, and the other neither more \ nor less than the wen of a certain kind of oyster. These things are too bad, Mr. Editor; they are sub- versive of our most pleasurable feelings, and inimical to all.' poetical conception: they arc generally useless, frequently injurious; they are always impertinent,— often disgusting. In my younger days, there was not a more gallant man than 1 in the universe ; and ihe melting verses that I wrote, and the civil speeches that I made, were copied by the beaux for miles round. But now, alas! the age of civility is gone hy, and though I see beautiful forms rising around me, and feel beautiful thoughts glowing within me, I am obliged to admire the one in silence and to sup- pie** the other in sorrow. 1 cannot call Rose Myrtle un Hexandria Monogynia ; and it would be ludicrous to assure the lovely Mary that her eyes— those beau- tiful eyes !— were but two lumps of levigated charcoal This is not ( ill, Mr. Editor,— there arc the lan- guage* tool Formerly it was deemed sufficient if a lady could sprak good English gtammar, interlarded with a few " pardonnez niois" anil " je vous remer- cies,"— lint now, by Jove, she most warble Italian, und jabber German, or else she's set down for an Antediluvian ; and the education that then a- days sufficed for a duchess, or a maid of honour, would now only form the rudiments of a charity girl, or a maid ot'all- work. TVIUGHT AND ANOTHER V. TATIIAM. This important and interesting cause commenced Oil Friday, at the Yorkshire Assizes, before Mr. Justice I'ark and a special jury. As it would occupy more than one- half of our paper to give a full account of the trial, we must content ourselves with inserting an outline of the kind of evidence which was adduced to prove the competency of Mr. Marsden, the tes- tator, whose will was called in question, as well as the evidence produced, on the part of the defendant, to' shew that that gentleman wns a mere child in intel- lect, and consequently incapabfe of making a will. It was slated, On the part of the plaintiff, that the question to be decided was,— Whether a will, exe- cuted in 1822, and a codicil executed in 1825, were the will and codicil of Mr. John Marsden, who died in 182( i: and the question was not only important in point of amount, but important as it regarded tile reputation of many persons, who, if the will anrf codicil were not the will and codicil of Mr. Marsden,- would be liable to the imputation of having procured these documents under circumstances of fraud. Mr. I Marsden died at the age of 68 years, in 1826. The plaintiffs w ere, one of them his relative, the other his steward and friend. The defendant was also a relative; indeed he was the nearest,- being the heir at few. Admiral Tatham, tile defendant, was the first cousin of Mr. Marsden. The admiral was the son of Mr. Marsdcn's aunt, and grandson of liis grandfather. The Rev. Anthony Lister, now Anthony Marsden, was the second cousin of Mr. Marsden, he being the great- grandson of his grandfather. Admiral Tatham WM one step nearer in the male line,- and therefore was the heir- at- law. Mr. Marsdeti was born iir 1758. His father died a year after; his mother married again ten years afterwards, and went to live with her husband ( Colonel Bayley) in Lancaster, from which circumstance Mf. Marsdcn's education had been neglected, though he went to different schools iff his youth. At the age of 22 his brother died, and he came into possession of the estate inherited from his grandfather and other ancestors. His attention was some years after attracted to a considerable property, which formed the subject of the present action. Hornby Castle and the domain being on sale, he w as advised— and his own views corresponded with that advice— to purchase it. He did purchase it, and at a price which made it necessary for him to sell part of his paternal property, to borrow money, and to mort- gage part of his new possession. The purchase was completed in 1817; and not one acre of the land which the defendant now claimed was ever in the possession of one of the family before Mr. Marsden; who, by his will, devised it to the plaintiffs. Thus • all the property which Admiral Tatbam sooght to recover by equity the testator had acquired, and, as he had a just right fo do, had bequeathed. Mr. Marsden removed from Wennington Hall to Hornby Castle in 1793. His family consisted, before that period, of Mrs. Cookson, who was his housekeeper. After the death of Mrs. Cookson, and during part of her life, Miss Tatham, first cousin to Admiral Tatham, lived in the house; and at one period Admiral Tatham's own brother, a gentleman of the profession, and Clerk of the Peace for the county of Lancaster, also lived with him. From that time Mr. Marsden continued to order, manage, and enjoy his estate of Hornby ; and, as be happened to have many rights of rather a vexatious kind, in the year 179'? he pro- cured a private Act of Parliament, which he should lay before the jury, by which he enfranchised a con- siderable number of bis tenants. He remained, then, in possession of the property, paying off one debt, contracting another, making mortgages, and effecting improvements; and, finally, in 1826, leaving this property to the management of his fathful steward ( Mr. Wright), or rather friend, for such he had been during the last years of his life; and preferring his second cousin, the Rev. Anthony Lister, who changed his name to Marsden in pursuance of the will of the deceased, to Admiral Tatham. Shortly after the death of Mr. Marsden, proceedings were instituted in the Court of Chancery to contest the will. A bill was filed, and the answer and affidavits put in, which put him in possession of theadversecasc. It was first suggested that Mr. Marsden was incompetent to make any will at all; that he was an idiot; that he had no capacity whatever, and required persons to be conti- nually about him to keep him out of harm's way; that, in short, he was quite incapable of doing one of those acts which he had been doing, from day to day, in tbe face of the whole county, for fifty years. The answers put in to this case showed its absurdity; and then it w as suggested that the w ill was obtained under inidae influence. Of that, it was alleged, there was no one tittle of evidence whatever. This bill having, however, been filed, tbe heir- at- law was, as a matter of course, entitled to an issue ; and that issue was now to be tried. These were the questions which the jury would have to try— Was Mr. Marsden compe- tent to make a will? anil— Was this will his will, and this codicil his codicil ? Mr. Pollock then adverted to the evidence he had to produce, to show the interest Mr, Marsden took in the affairs of his estate, and in the general business of life; and lie produced two schedules, one of deeds executed by Mr. Marsden, from January 30, 1782, down to the year 1819 ; and the other of bonds given by that gentleman, during about tbe same series of years. These deeds and bonds were all prepared by the most able professional men ; for whoever was first in business, first in character, to him Mr. Marsden went. They were attested by the most respectable individuals ; and Ihe parties to the will and codicil were equally eminent. Some he should produce, others were dead. But he called upon the jury to put the reputation of the dead and the character of the living, against the supposition that they would have suffered Mr. Marsden to be a party to these extensive transactions, if lie were of unsound mind. Two of the attesting witnesses to tbe will were parties to some of those deeds ; and some of them were prepared by Mr. Blcasdale, who had prepared the will. The character of this gentleman stood as high as that of any one in the profession ; and fully agreeing in w hat his learned friend, the Attorney- General, bail once observed, that he never knew a will set aside which was prepared by an honest attorney, he entirely relied on bis testimony to establish the will. He should show that Mr. Marsden regularly attended church: the most holy rite of our religion was administered to him by different clergymen, who knew him well, and who would have profaned that sacred ceremony, had he not been of perfectly competent and sound mind. He admitted that he had peculiarities: he was timid, reserved, near sighted, remarkably afraid of a dog; hut he bad a heart full of kindness, and was a firm and constant friend. He should produce a corre- spondence with some members of his family ( one of them a Mr. Dawson, for whose sons, he believed, Admiral Tatham was this day contending), to show the terms he was on w ith thein ; and also a corre- spondence willi Mr. Wright when he was away, to show what were his capacities for business. After giving a history of Mr. Wright's connexion with Mr. Marsden, who came into the family in an humble situation, but became his confidential friend, and detailing the circumstances under which the will and codicil were made, the learned gentleman concluded by asking, whether it could be said, that a man could buy property, could sell, could mortgage, could redeem, could plant, could improve an estate from £ 10( 10 to £ 6000, with the assistance of Mr. Wright, and could not make a will ? If the evidence he pro- duced would not establish the will, no will could be safe, no will could stand in this country. The will, which was read by the officer of the court, save to John Maisden Wright, his godson, the sum of £ 6000, confirmed to him the gift of Upper Salter fistutc, uud gave to him the perpetual ad vowso. it of the vicarage of Gargrave. To Margaret Wright, u daughter of . Mr. Wright, to whom he stood godfather, he bequeathed £ u000. To Mr. George Wright he bequeathed all his estates in trust for 21 years, frotn which lie was to receive, for his own use, £ 1000 a- year, and appropriate the remainder, if he thought proper, to the improve- ment of the estates. The surplus proceeds, if any, were to be paid over to the Kev. Aiithony Marsden and those w^ o were declared entitled to inherit his real property. The first witness examined for the plaintiffs was Mr. Sharpe, the attorney, of Lancaster : he was two hours and a half under examination, and produced a mass of documentary evidence and eovrespotrd-- ence, the reading of w hieh occupied the Quirt til! seven o'clock, when the case was then iwljouiined to the following day. On Saturday Mr. Sharpe's examination was resumed, and he was afterwards cross- examined by the Attorney- General. The effect of his evidence was, that Mr. Marsden, the testator, though not well educated, and somewhat deficient in point of ability, was perfectly com- petent to make a will. Mr. W. Battyc, surgeon, at Kirby Lonsdale, considered the testator a man of weak mind, but competent to manage his affairs. W. Biikbeck, Esq. of Settle, W. J. Lushington, Esq. and P. Hesketh, Esq. of Jtossall, deposed to his competency to manage his uffaiis. Mr. G. Bleas- dale, formerly an attorney, but now retired from the profession, detailed the circumstances utider which the will now iu dispute was drawn up aud executed : be identified the will produced, and also a duplicate of it, drawn up and executed at the same period. In the judgment of this witness, Mr Mafsden, Ht fhe time this will was executed, was perfectly competent to execute it. The witness was cross- examined at great length by the Attorney- General;' in the course of which he stated, that he did not believe Mr. Marsden ever executed a w ill in London. James Clarke, Esq. Recorder o'f Liver- pool, Mr. J. T. Wilson, Miss Ann Sheepshanks, Mr. William Marsden, J. Bradshaw, Esq. aud others were then examined, and deposed to the competency of the' testator. Ou Monday,- ( he third day, the remaining witnesses for the plaintiffs were ex- amined : they were e'qoally as respectable as those w ho had been previously examined,- and! a'U deposed to the competency of the testator lo manage his affairs utid make a will. Their examination engaged the Court ( ill two o'clock. The opening address of Sir James Scarlett, for the defendant, Admiral Tatham, occupied the time from two o'clock till Ave. For the defendant, Admiral Tatham, it was con tended, that Marsden h'ad never reached beyond that point of infancy which, tit Certain periods, developed certain affections, but which, if not Im- proved in matnrer years, would not give him that degree of capacity and intelligence which the law considered to have taken place at a certain age, and which was essential to the possession of a sound and disposing mind; that he had the manners, fears, failings, and couduct of a perfect child ; that he hud no more intellect than a child of ten years old ; that he was i- ocapable of taking care of him- self; in short, that Mr. Marsden was nothing more than the child of the nursery, and that he had been made to execute flit? will, not only without a- real knowledge of its effect, but without a capaeffy to understand what the will was meant t^' perform. Mr. Marsdcn, when at school, was a very dull aud ignorant boy,- and was usually called " Silly Mars, den :" be had the mind of an infant at a certain age ; he could get his task aud spell, but he never could be made to understand the rules of arithmetic. At the age of 18 or 50 he was addicted lo those habits of childishness wfriclr indicated imbecility; and at that age his aunt ( Mrs. Cooktfon) imposed upon him a servant ( George Wright, who was then footman) as bis only companion^ which she would not have been able to have done, if he had harf proper ideas of what was due to himself. Mr. Marsden used to go out to hunt; but, if no person was with him to show him the way out,- or to break down the fence, he would keep riding- round the field. If a sheep or a turkey approached him, he cried like a child : he was equally afraid of a goose or pig,- and USed to beg of persons to assist him in going past the pigs; and this imbecility continued fo tlie last day of his life. Oil one occasion, as he was miming from a sheep which could not get over the railing, he ran iuto a carpenter's shop and begged of the man to hide him behind some boards: at another time, he ran away from a spider on the wall. His Vioflit was his constant companion, but he learnt no tune perfectly. He used to play " Dainty Davy" partly through, and then say to himself,'-*- Very well, Mr. Marsden, very well played. I will gite it you again, then, Mr. Marsden," and would then play it partly over again. If he annoyed Mr. and Mrs. Wright, be was shut up in a room to play Dainty Davy;" and yet has been described as a person capable of making a Will. His fiddle he used to wrap up in a piece of flannel, and nurse il as a girl of eight or nine years old would do a doll. His chief directions to the carpenters were to make him a fiddle. Young Marsden was very much addicted to talking to himself, and when he was reminded, that, by talking loudly, every body would know his thoughts, he went to the carpenter and said, " Can't you make me a stopper for my mouth ?" On one occasion he was very much struck with the noise of a file sharpening a saw : lie went up lo the workman and said, " That is very fine; pray what musical instrument is that!" John Marsden used to keep company with an idiot named " Tommy Thompson;" and on one occasion Tommy ran across a field with a dead rat, and Mr. Marsden ran after him, striking it with a stick. So exceedingly indifferent was Mr. Marsden in the choice of his friends, that he made no distinction lietween Mr. Cawthorne, the M. P. for Lancaster, and this identical Tommy Thompson. When his mother was on licr ileatli- bed, be would not visit tier, saying she hail not used him like a gentleman. So fur from Wright treating him like the master of th « fluWiMe, he treated him like a perfect child. The only thing that attracted the attention of Mr. Marsden about a fe- male was the part of a female's dress called a checked apron. His attention was not so much directed to the wearer as to the apron itself, for if he saw one hang- ing upon a hedge he would carry it off! With respect to the will prepared by Mr. Bleas- dalc, the Attorney- General contended, that it ought never to have been made without having been fully explained to Ihe testator. It first gave £ 6000 to the eldest son of Mr. Wright, and £ 5000 to his daughter, and then left Mr. Wright the whole of his personal estate whatever. It confirmed Ihe most extraordinary deed of gift of the Upper Sailer estate, worth £ 6000 or £ 7000, to Mr John Marsdeu Wright. It was a very singular circumstance that Mr. Bleasdale had made that conveyance, instead of his regular attorneys, Messrs. Dowbiggin and Sharp ; and he thought it was Mr. Bleasdale's duty to have told Mr. Wright that Mr. Marsden was going to convey this property to his son, io order that he might know the manner in which he wonld stand with Mr. Marsden's relations, friends, aud creditors. The will then went on logive the whole of his real estate, except Hornby Castle, aud the Deer Park, to Mr. Wright, upon trust that he should have the entire aud exclusive control and manage, ment of the w hole for twenty- one years. The man- sion- house of Hornby Castle, with the Deer Park and pleasure gardens adjoining, were devised to Mr. Lister, who was to occupy it without paying any rent, but merely keeping it iu repair. There was one condition attached to this bequest so very singular that lie could not help mentioning it. The value of the Estate which Mr. Lister was to enjoy was worth about £ 100 a- year, and the condition of his taking it was that he should give up the living of Gargrave, worth about £ 800 a- year, to Mr. Wright's son. At every clause of the will it would be found that it was made to serve Ihe interests of Mr. Wright and his family. During the lifetime of Mr. Wright he was to have £ 1000 a- year, and the sum of £ 2000 per annum was to be appropriated to lease the properly for the best rent that IN HIS JUDGMENT could be obtained, for 21 years longer. By this clause, if Mr. Wright was to lease an estate worth £ 1000 lo his sou, or any other person, for £ 800, or less, the person who succeeded under the will would not have the right of calling upon Mr. Wright to account for not having obtained the best rent, which he wonld have had under an ordinary will. Mr. Wright had also the power of appointing a successor, at a salary of £ 400 a year, and of empowering him to grant leases and defend actions in the same way as he himself would have done. A host of witnesses were examined for tbe defence. Among them were a number of country gentlemen, physicians, and divines, all of whom gave evidence as to the capacity of Mr. Marsden diametrically opposed to the evidence given by persons of equal respectability on the part of the plaintiffs; they considered the testator as wholly incompetent to make a will or to manage his own affairs. And a number of persons in the lower walk of life, who had known Mr. Marsden, deposed to his having been callcd by them " Silly John," and to his having been guilty of actions which, though perfectly innocent, indicated that he was a mere child in point of intellect. The evidence for the defence ended on Wednesday night, at nine o'clock. On Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, Mr. Pollock made a powerful speech in reply, and occupied the time of the Court till one. Mr. Justice Park commenced, at half- past otic o'clock, his charge to the jury. His lordship re- capitulated the whole of the evidence on both sides, documentary as well as oral : he did not conclude his charge until twenty minutes before twelve o'clock at night, not having taken the least refreshment during the time. At half- past twelve o'clock Mr. Justice Park left the court, the jury having intimated that they were not likely soon to agree in their verdict. The Associate was left to receive the verdict, which was delivered by the jury at a quarter. past two o'clock on Friday morning. They found a verdict for ( he Plaintiff, which is a verdict in favour of ihe will. a person iu bed, with the curtains and other parts of the room on fire, may be easily removed. The experiment, upon the whole, . although con- ducted upon so small a scale, seemed to give general satisfaction, if an opinion may be formed from the clapping of hands, and the repeated bravos bestowed upon those who subjected Ihemsclyestosp, appalling and, indeed, so terrific an ordeal. DEPTFORD DOCK- YARD.— DISTRESS. ALGIERS The following is a copy of a letter from the Mediterranean, written by a person who has lived a long time af Atgiers, and who is acquainted with its environs, ils means of defence, and resources : — " Algiers is built like an amphitheatre, but forms a triangle; one 6f the points is washed by the sea, the other rising up towards ( he land forms another point, at the extremity of which is the new palace of Ibe Dey, called the Casba. The town is com- manded by a fori called Fort Emperor, which sweeps Ihe plain of Bahazon, the town, and the Casba. The Star Fort sfilT marked On fhe several maps exists no longer. From the garden of Ihe Dutch Consul, life eye overlooks Fort Emperor, and can even reach info the interior court. This fact is important, and is mentioned in order lo show how easily ibis fort, on which depends the fate of Al- giers, may be reduced. Though the defences of Algiers on the sea side are truly formidable, it is not capable of sustaining a siege from the land side for three days. It has not even a complete en- closure ; the ramparts are broken at short distances by houses, whose walls spring from the ditches and give an appearance of fortification, lint, in fact, are of no strength. The ditches are always dry, aiid there are no means of filling them, nfir, On account of their rapid descent, would water locfge'iu them'. The town has three gates on the land side; fhe Babalouet in tbe West, the New Gate on the West', and Babazon on tbe East. Its only supply of water is from an open aqueduct, on a level with the ground, and il comes from about half a league front Algiers. Nothing can be more easy than to cut this off, and to force the place to surrender for want of water. Ttie garrison consists of 4000 Turks, and 2000 more are distributed in the various surrounding posts. The fortifications are mounted with eight hundred pieces of cannon, of different calibre, toward the sea, and from 100 lo 120 on the land side. It must be admitted that the great diffi- culty is in effecting a lauding. The French army must expect to be opposed by a host of Arabs, who will dispute the ground with them ; but these Arabs are totally uudiscipliued, and badly armed, many of them still using matchlock guns. They will come down with provisions for a few days only, and hunger will very soon drive them back to their mountains, if they are not previously put lo flight by the artillery. The French maps call that part of the shore on which it is supposed that the invading army will be disembarked, Touretta Chica. This point, known in that country by the name of Sedi- French, is abcrat four leagues from Algiers, on Ihe West; but whether the landing be effected on the West or on Ihe East, a great abundance of water will be every where found. Tbe climate I can de- clare to be very healthy, less hot than perhaps Provence, if a judgment may be formed from Ihe luxuriance of the vegetation, which flourishes on every spot of the soil. There is never any raging fever at Algiers, and the plague is only to be found when imported from Egypt : ten years have elapsed since its last appearance."— Hampshire Telegraph. FIRE- PROOF DRESSES. The establishment df this celebrated ancient naval arsenal is nearly broken lip, and the greatest distress lias been the result to the once flourishing and wealthy town of Deptford. Most of the artisans and petty officers have been discharged or superannuated, with the exception of about ISO, who bave been drafted into the dock yards at Chatham, Plymouth, Pembroke, and others. Mr. Byrne, the boatswain of the yard, is the only officer who still hol( ls his situ- ation, which he vacates as soon as the Worcester, a frigate of 30 guns, now undergoing the operation of coppering, shall be launched. This, it is expected, * ill take place in about a month. The extensive range of buildings funning the left side of the yard are now occupied by a strong party of marines, several hundreds in number. Deptford is, however, to be the rendezvous of the royal yachts, and will still be used as a receiving and store yard for the navy • anil we believe it is intended to permit mer- chant vessels to iepttir here. This dock- yard was one 6' f the earliest established in England, and has beent lie scene O'f many remark- able events. It was founded by Henry VIII. at the commencement of his reign, who erected a store- house for the royal navy. In 1515, Sir Thomas Spert, commander of the great ship Henry Grace de Dieu, here founded the patriotic and benevolent Trinity Society. Queen Elizabeth, in 1581, visited Drake at Deptford, after his return from his first voyage round the world, and conferred on him the honour of knighthood. In 1698 Peter the Great Of Russia worked in the dock- yard as a shipwright. It consists of two wet docks— one two acres in extent— the other about one and a half— with all the requisite store- houses, lofts, and workshops for a great naval arsenal. Vessels of minor class, as small frigates, sloops of war, and bomb ships, have been constructed here ; though many stately vessels have issued from its slips, among which are the Windsor Castle and Ne ptune, of 50 guns cach ; the Bombay, 74; and the Queen Charlotte, 110. The general state of Deptford is most deplorable. The poor- rates have increased to a frightful extent in consequence of the number of hands unemployed, occasioned by the recent alterations in the dock- yard. A great number of houses arc untenanted, and there- is no prospect of letting them. Indeed this once lively and prosperous town presents a melancholy scene of misery and distress. MILITARY POLITENESS. Our piquet- post at Ihe bridge, became a regular lounge for the winter to all manner of folks. I used to be much amused at seeing our naval officers come up from Lisbon riding on mules, with huge ships' spy- glasses, like six- pounders, strapped across the backs of their saddles. Their first question invari- ably was, " Who is that fellow there?" ( pointing to Ihe enemy's sentry, close to us); and, on being told that he was a Frenchman, " Then why the devil doti'f you shoot him?" Repeated acts of civility passed between the French and us during this tacit suspension of hostilities. The greyhounds of an officer followed a hare, ou one occasion, iuto their fines,- sfnd they very politely returned them. T was one night on' piquet, at the end of the bridge, when a ball came from the French sentry and struck the burning billet of wood round which we were sitting; and they sent in a frag of truce next morning to apologize for the accident, and to say that it had been^ done by a stupid fellow of a s « ntry, w- ho imagined that people were advancing upon him. We admitted the apology, though wc knew well enough that it had been done by a malicious rntlirr than a stupid fellow, from the situation we occupied. General Junot, one day reconnoitering, was severely wounded by a sentry; and Lord Wellington, knowing that they were at that time destitute of every tiling in the shape of com- fort, sent to request his acceptance of any thing that Lisbon affordied that could be of any service to him ; but the French General was too much of a politician to admit the want of any tiling— KincaitVs Adven- tures in the Peninsula. ffti0ccllanmi0 Cntclligencr. The following Interesting statement has been forwarded to us by one of the police- inspectors, by whom the experiment was tried :— Experiment of the Fire- proof Dresses before the Honourab'e the Commissioners of Police, Chas. Shaus Lefevre, Esq. and olher Gentlemen, un- der the Direction of the Chevalier Aldini. The place appointed was a space of ground sur rounding the Rosoman- street watch- house, the area being very limited. Three bars of iron were placed horizontally, each eighteen feet long, upon stones, the first one foot from the ground, and so on, till the three reached about four feet iu height. These were secured lo the ground by bars of iron driven into it, and strap- ped with iron wire, alongside of which was placed another horizontal tod, eighteen inches apart; this being the space intended for the brushwood, straw, & c. similarly situated upon the other side, the in- terval between the two being one yard. A dress of coarse flannel, previously prepared in some solution, was placed over the head of the experi- mentalist, to which was attached a sailor like jacket, all closely buttoned. The next most important point to lie adjusted was a cap made of asbestos, with wire- gauze eyes, drawn over the head. A wire- gauze dress was then drawn over the coarser one, secured by brass straps ; also gloves; and last, not least in appearance, an immense hood of wire, the front of which was doubly secured. A shield was placed iu the right hand, which served not only as a guard to the right arm, but can be occasionally used to protect any other part. Thus armed the experimentalist enters ( lie flames. Upon inquiry we find that the asbestos cap, being provided with gauze eyes, affords every facility for seeing, so as to enable any person thus armed to enter a room which, though previously charged with a dense smoke, may be converted into a flame by bursting the window open, which is least to be feared. It is contemplated that an experiment upon a larger scale is intended before the highest authorities. The test can never be more satisfactory than the present one, although its narrow limits did not afford suffi- cient accommodation for so many who would have wished to be present at so interesting and extraordi- nary a spectacle. The experimentalists who subjected themselves to the test were Mr. Inspector Thomas Rogers, Mr. In- spector Busain, and Police Constable Thos. Abrahams. During the interval of preparing the extreme test a the payment of the legacies and debts in such order I chafing- dish was filled with shavings and straw, into and in such degree as Mr. Wright might think fit The estate was supposed to have been worth £ 4000 or £ 5000 a year, so that there would be a surplus of £ 1000 or £ 1500, which was entirely at the disposal of Mr. Wright, either to improve the Hornby estate, or to purchase new ones. He was, in short, empowered to employ as many persons as he chose in the management of the estaj^ aud to use it in all respects as his own ; his powers were so ample, that, although he was merely tke trustee, he could deprive Mr. Lister, who was intended by the testator to be beneficially interested, of every shilling of the proceeds. There was, moreover, a clause in this will which, in his opinion, would damn it for ever, and he would venture to say that in all his experience such a clause was never inserted in any will before. In ordinary wills leave was generally given to grant leases for the best rent which could be obtained, but in this. will the which several of the police force, being previously guarded by the asbestos cap and wire hood, subjected their heads to Ihe intense flame that could be supplied without inconvenience. As a proof of the confidence reposed in the dress the inspectors state their willingness to try a similar experiment, or one even upon a larger scale. The proof of the efficacy of such au experiment cannot be better explained than by stating, that such was Ihe intensity of the heat that fhe persons assembled, although at the distance of at least ten or eleven yards, were very much affected. Upon inquiry we find that, although exposed to such on intense heat, surrounded by flames, reach- ing at least six or eight feel above the beads of the persbu w- lio subjected himself to so severe a test, that there was no difficulty iu respiration— that the heat was not inconvenient— that the flexibility of the dress admits of exertion sufficient to enable the clause ran, that Mr. Wright should have power lo j experimentalist to use his powers— say, for instance, It has been determined by the Board in London, that all persons hiring a gig, for one or more days, and at various periods of the year, of a person duly licensed to let out such gig for hire, and not return- ing to the Assessor the time when, and of whom hired, on the subsequent 5th of April, are liable to be charged with the duty for the same, as if it was their own property. The same rule extends to the hiring of horses. Accounts from Stockholm of the 10th ult. mention the discovery of a silver mine in the mountains of Ihe proviuce of Calmar, the veins of which are several miles long, and which are rich enough to cancel all the paper currency in the kingdom without the aid of loans. A PROPER REBUKE.— When Lunardi went up in a balloon from Edinburgh, and alighted near a clergyman's house in Fifeshire, he said to the clergy- man, " we have been at the gate of heaven since we went up." The clergyman replied, " then it is a pity you did not go in; you may never be so near again." A New Part ( the 28th) of the Encycloptedia Metropolitans is now before us. To those of our readers who have not yet seen this work, we may confidently say that il surpasses all olher Encyclo- paedias in originality, both as regards its plan and the nature and execution of Ihe Treatises. The advertisement exhibits the names of a host of the most eminent men of the day as its writers; and we may point out, in the present part, two very pro- minent articles— viz. a Treatise on Sound, which we understand to be Ihe production of Mr. Hers, chell ; and ou Ihe Figure of the Earth, from the pen of Mr. Airy, the Plumian Professor of Astronomy. Since the cause of emancipation has become so fashionable in these days of liberalism, it is some- what a matter of astonishment that our liberal ministry have not expressed any wish to emancipate the owners of copyhold estates from their present inability to vote at couniy elections. It is certainly anomalous that the owner of a cottage- house worth only forty shillings a- year should have the right of elective franchise, whilst the owner of a copyhold estate ol 500 acres is not entitled to it. We know an instance where a gentleman in this connty, possessing a domain worth £ 50,000, was compelled, the other day, to buy a cottage in his neighbourhood to entitle him to the same privilege which is enjoyed by hundreds of cottage. owners in this town. This is a subject really deserving of Ihe serious notice of the legislature.— Stockport Advertiser. SHEEP IN HUNGARY.— There are in Hungary 7,000,000 sheep, of which three millions belong to Prince Esterliazy. LATE WINTER IN SPAIN.— So severe has been the effect of Ihe late severe weather upon the animal kingdom that the household in the royal palace of Granja have been compelled to discharge regular vollies every morning upon their enemies, the wolves, for the mere purpose of scaring them from the scene for a few hours. In the city of Gaudalaxara, a girl, seventeen years old, was torn to pieces by a hungry bear in her own house, into which he had prowled for food. In Pravia, a town in the Asturias, the inhabitants did not dare to quit their homes after sunset, for the wolves, after lurk- ing about the high- roads and devouring travellers, horses, and whatever fell in the way in Ihe shape of food, entered the towns in large bodies at night, and wherever they found a house door open satiated their ravenous appetites by killing and tearing in pieces, men, women, children, and animals. In another quarter a bear entered a cow shed on the 15th of January and devoured a calf. Iu Biscay a pasiega, or female peasant of the mountains of St. Andero, was hawking about her little store, with a child bound upon the top of a basket at her back, not only the child, but the unfortunate parent herself was overtaken by wolves and eaten up; even an orderly, who was proceeding on horseback from St. Sebastian's to Painpeluna, and his horse also, met with the same lamentable fate. Many hundreds of human beings, particularly muleteers, have been found frozen to death in the upper provinces of Andalusia.— Court Journal. About six weeks ago we stated) from A confi- dential source, that our government were busily engaged in an important negociation, which they believed would, » v) ien completed and brought intd , operation, tend to extend considerably ( hp forcigit trade of this country. Tilt result of that negotiation we this day lay before our readers in lh « official " Convention of Commerce and Navigation bstweeu his Britannic Majesty and the Emperor of Austria," by which it will be seen that all the ports of the contracting powers are laid open to the ship*, produce, and merchandize of each, upon equal duties. If this treaty is carried into effect iu good faith on the part of the Austrian Government, it may, to a considerable extent, Imve a beneficial influence ou the foreign trade of this country ; and by a more extended introduction of British gocdn into Ihe Austrian dominions, through her ports in the Adriatic, prove in some degrees counterpoise) ® the bad faith with which the previous treaties of reciprocity iVith certain powers in the Baltic, and the consequences resulting from these, have done lo the trade of this country. That the use of British merchandize may be considerably extended in the interior of the Austrian dominions, we firmly believe, though we must take into account that the port* laid open to us now, have, for some time past, been free ports, and that while Austria has only three ports to lay open to us, we have 300 to lay open to her, thereby rendering such a treaty more decidedly for her advantage than it can be fur ours.— Glasgow Courier. Saturday afternoon, several Irishmen applied at the Guildhall, fo'f relief,- staling that they imn destitute of the means of purchasing food, or a night's lodging; but on being closely questioned by Humphries, one of the officers, they were rather prevaricating in their replies, which induced him lo search one of them, on whom he found two sove- reigns, some silver, & c. They were, accordingly dismissed. It appears that the Irish poor come over here in such droves merely to make a harvest from parish relief, by obtaining which at every parish they pass through, they gradually accumulate a large sum of money ; when one of Ihe party is entrusted with the whole fo lake over lo their friends in Ireland, and the remainder then take another route towards Ireland, getting and hoarding all they can ; so that by the time they return homo they can generally congratulate themselves on a pleasant and profitable excursion.— Bath Journal. The Irish Stationery- office lias been abolished in Ireland. Sir fi. B. King, the patentee, has received compensation, it is said, to the amount of £ 40,000. A gentleman has arrived in town from London to superintend this department, the nccessary supplies for which will be furnished from the head office in London.— Dublin Moxning Register. WftAT Is Law i. tk f. ?— Law is a country dance ; people are led up and down in it till they are fairly tired out. Law is like a book of surgery— there are a great majiy terrible cases in it. It is like physic too, they that take the least of it are best off. It is like a homely gentlewoman, " very well to foltow;" and like a scolding wife, very bad when' it follows us. l- tw is like a new fashion, people are bewitched to get into it; " and like bad weather," most people arc glad to get out of it. IRISH ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.— Among Ihe many jocular and singular scenes recorded during the present Assizes, in which the presiding Judges were the chief actors, tire following is, perhaps, the most extraordinary :—" JOHN RYAN was given in charge for having in his possession notes, stolen from the Waterford and Nenagli bags in November last. He was acquitted. On which the COURT addressnl him thus :—' Upon my word, you had a narrow escape. The COURT and JURY know you are guilty. Don't think you have outwitted lis.',! I!— Discharged."— And upon our honest word, if the Jury knew he was guilty, and yet acquitted liinti; and if the Judge knew he was guilty, and yet discharged him, we know that both Judge and Jury arc guilty, and ought, as well as RYAN, to be—" discharged." We suppose, however, that the Learned Judge meant that himself and the Jury had a moral, nota technical knowledge of the prisoner's guilt; in which case, whilst we " acquit" them, we cannot but deplore those legal forms and technical distinctions which are Of little or no use to the innocent, but which, multi- plying fhe chances of escape for the guilty, lead, invariably, lo the perpetration of crime, and defeat the ends of justice. The administration of law, to be useful should be rational. The escape of a felon, under such circumstances of moral conviction, turns the whole proceeding, solemn and big- wigy'd at it is, into ridicule. THE NATIONAL CEMETERY.— Abbreviated from the Englishman.— A strong effort is making by Mr, F. Goodwin to obtain for the metropolis of this country an advantage similar to that enjoyed by the metropolis of France, in having one large and general place of interment, beyond the boundaries of the city. Tlie burying- ground of Pere la Chaise, near Paris, is well known. Mr. Goodwin's object appears to be tosurpas* the famous Parisian cemetery, in the advantage of situation and the picturesqueness of arrangement. For this purpose he has chosen for its site ( supposing that he should succeed in forming Ihe Joint Stock Company) Primrose Hill and its neighbourhood. The grand outline of his plan embraces no less a space of ground than one hundred and fifty acres; but to the centre parcel of this— about forty- two acres— he has . confined his more striking design. This space he proposes to surround with a double cloister, which will afford a promenade in case of unfavourable weather, while its walls will be dedicated to the re- ception of tablets and memorials. To this cloister there are to be three grand entrances, one a copy of the Propylca, and the others, right and left, after the famous Roman arches of Constantine and Septimus Severus : these entrances are, by means of terrace*, tu conduct to a temple built on the model of the Parthenon, probably the grandest and most perfect Grecian building that ever was erected. This buiki- ing will be consecrated so as to admit of divine worship being performed. In addition to the buildings men^ tioned, Mr. Goodwin has introduced into his design copies of the Temples of Vesta, Diana, Theseus, Minerva Sunius, Erechthcus, Minerva Polius, mid Pandrosus, as well as of the Tower of the Winds and the beautiful Ionic edifice on the Ilissus. The whole superb arrangement is to conclude with a magnificent crescent, of several hundred feet in the span, sur- mounted at the base by a copy of Trajan's Pillar, The terraces that are to conduct from the great entrances to this arena arc to be from 15 to 20 feet in height, so as to permit a carriage- way by means of arches beneath, and to afford an opportunity for the continuation of the cloisters all around. The whole of ( he cloisters, and the more extensive edifices, are to be founded on catacombs, calculated to contain an immense number of corpses.— Of the advantage and utility of such an undertaking, we conceive that il is unnecessary to say a word. The only question that remains is, as to the feasibility of the project; aud with respect to this, though Ihe expense will be great, there certainly arc numerous cirrunistanccs in its favour. The first impulse to the scheme Mr. Goodwin proposes to give, by a subscription of 16,000 sharer, of £ 25 each ; and this secured, he confidently, and with apparent justice, anticipates that the disposal of freehold graves will be sufficient, not only to carry Ihe work into complete effect, but to afford an ample remunerating profit to the original subscribers. We understand that his drawings and plans have already been, inspected by some of the most influential per- sons of the country, and that there is every prospect of the schcme being set in motion as soon as the necessary arrangements as to ground, an Act of Parliament, & c. can be accomplished. ALARMING ACCIDENT.— Sunday morning, about half- past eleven o'clock, during divine service, ut Trinity Church, New- road, Mary- le- botine, ihe congregation were thrown into a considerable state of confusion and alarm, by the falling of tin tenor bell in the steeple. The crash uud noise were appaling, the whole edifice seemed shaken , to its foundation, and the ceiling in many parts fell, in large detached masses upon the frightened lynurfc- gation. The obscurity caused by the dust was so great that it was impossible to distinguish j^ ny object whatever. A general rush was made tqw nrda the door, and some severe bruises w ere received . in the scramble; the panic at length subsided without any accident of consequence occurring. Fortu- nately, the bell was caught in its fall by some strong rafters placed between the inner und outer roof, or a very lamentable catastrophe migbt have ensued. An inquiry, we are informed, is to lake place forthwith, respecting the in » ecurc state tha bell must have been in.
