A person rapped at the door tif my modest lodg- lug the other day, and asked for me byname. I went out and found iu my visitor a man nint h past the meridian of life, with a thin clear cheek, a stooping gait, scanty apparel, and an Irish accent. He said he had called to solicit employment; that lie had seen better days, and was then in extremo indigence. The former, his manner might verv well avouch ; the latter was evident. I know jjot if 1 ought lo be ashamed of having sent him from my door no better than he came. I bad no eniplov * ment to give him my own circumstances forbad Ihe exercise of bounty, and I could not offer him alms as lo a mendicant. He withdrew with a sisrh of disappointment, uot unlniktd with discontent for tbe poor may submit, but cannot be expecteil to be content when relief or assistance is refused them— and 1 returned to my apartment, I think, as dissatisfied as he Willi that condition of things which had made any seemingly decent man a beg gar, and rendered me unable to afford him assist, ance; and 1 fell then to rambling iu my thoughts, as I often do, iu a desultory manner, ol which tho following is the outline :— Setting ambition, ease, luxury, all the ordinary motives to exertion, aside, virtue itself enjoins us to labour to be rich. Propriety is shockingly Violated by poverty. The indigent violate propriety when they ask, and the rich violate propriety when they refuse, an alms. It is strange to imagine that one man should need to solicit sustenance from another, and that olher refuse it him. The worst of vices can hardly exhibit any thing more odious than what is presented to us by such a contempla- tion as this ; and how coines it that, iu this gra- cious world, any such odiouB sight should be wit. uessed ? He would do a material service to the cause of virtue and propriety who should persuade men against poverty. A whimsical id ea this, some may exclaim. By no means.— It is true, it is not altogether a matter of mere choice with a man Whether he will be poor or no. If it were, persuasion would with more propriety be said to be unnecessary than unavailing; but I contend that it is as easy to avoid being poor as it is to eschew dishonesty. Indeed, the conjunction of poor and honest is so far from being a proper conjunction, that these qualities veryseldom if ever go together. I put it to the reader to say whether he ever knew a poor and honest man ? for 1 do not allow a man Ihe character of honesty who only does not steal ; to be honest, a man must also maka every possible endeavour to supply his own need ; and if that, after all, fail, he must then forbear unreasonable imposition of his exigency upon his more fortunate neighbours. I have known a mat, very honest, iu the common sense of the term, who yet thought il no wrong to lay his wauls upon another, to that other's most serious inconvenience, 1 can no more call such a man houest than him who picks another's pocket in the dark. If any preacher should condescend to take up such a moral theme as this, namely, to persuade men from poveity, I imagine he might choose that text iu which Wisdom is said lo hold in her right hand riches and honours, from which we may infer, not that God gives riches to the wise as a reward of their wisdom, but rather that wisdom or sense gctteth riches uud honour* by its own free faculty. I am sure much might bo said upon this notion to very good purpose. I rather, however, choose an humbler argument, and say with great confidence ihat only sense is neces- sary to instruct us to avert poverty. What is it fo be poor, but to want something which we are unable to procure? T here are then two ways of bettering ( his condition : if we cannot by industry, address, or adventure, achieve the means of getting flic thing we want, we can by temperance and self- denial, which are very comfortable tilings, remove the want itself, and that is rather the belter of the two. One or other must be in the power of every man ; for I do not take into consideration ( he case of any who, notwithstanding the greatest alacrity to work, conjoined with the utmost temperance, are yet without ( lie means of even the barest sus( euance, because, though not unused to see the lowest cou- dition of life, I do not think I ever saw- a case of that degree of destitution. 1 say, then, ( hat any man may eschew poverly by one or other of the above methods : the first is the more useful to others — the last easiest to himself. How excellent and delightful would the world be, if all men would determine by one or other of these means lo avert poverty : ( hen would the faco of life be cleared of all ( ha( squalor which vice anil intemperance, the parents at once and offspring of poverty, cover it withal, and decency and happiness would throw ( heir grace and lustre over all things. It is distressing tu think, that' only an exercise oi' sense by every man in his own affairs, is all that is requisite to produce such admirable consequences, and ye(, that there is so little hupe of ( bat sense being ever so exerted.

It has occupied ( he attention of ( hi? court six days. The court met each morning at nine o'clock, and sat on Friday 10i hours, Saturjav 1:!\ hours, Monday I0J, Tuesday 14, Wednesday 12, Thursday 10j-, and it ( hus appears ( hat the investigation has occupied 77 hours. Eight counsel have been em- ployed. The Attorney General, we understand, had a retaining fee of 400 guineas, with an addition of 150 guineas with his brief. Mr. Brougham, it is said, received a fee of 200 guineas, and au additional 100 guineas with his brief; and Mr. Alderson and Mr. Armstrong also had large fees. During the trial there have been read 260 documents, of which 78 were wills, involving transactions, as to value, to upwards of £ 200,000, and to which there were no less than 78 different attesting witnesses. For ( he plaintiff there have been examined 35 witnesses, in- cluding one member of parliament, several magis- trates, one physician, three surgeons, five clergymen, and a great number of country gentlemen of property. For the defence 62 witnesses have been examined, including many men of great respectability, but the majority were persons who had, at one time or other, lived as servants at Hornby Castle. We have not heard wiiat was ( he amount of the returning fees to the counsel for ( he plaintiff, hut certainly, if exerlion and talent ought. to be taken as the standard, Mr. Pollock should, at least, have as great a remuneration as ( he Attorney General. His cross- examinations have been masterly, and his concluding reply created a strong impression. If any thing could raise the learned gentleman's reputation for judgment, ability, and ( act, it is his method of conducting this trial, and ( he result may be attributed to his splendid exertions. The summing up of the judge occupied upwards of nine hours. It has been the longest, if not the most important, civil case ever tried at York.— tlalfax Chronicle. THE LATE FATAL FIGHT AT BIRMINGHAM. At the Warwick Assizes, three prisoners, named Hill, Prestrn, and A usten, were indicted for f, lonio\ islv killing and slaying a person of the name of Filter. It appeared in evidence that Hill ami Filler liavihir agreed lo fight, Preston an l Austen acted as their seconds. They fought for nearly an hour arid a half, when the deceased was carried away senseless ( o i public- house, and died almost immediately. Both parties had repeatedly fallen together, and it was sworn on ti e part of the prosec ition that Preston Hill's second, told him he would never leather' his opponent, if he did not fill upon him with his knee, on his stomach. This, however, was contradicted br a witness for the defence, who stated he must hare heard it if it had been said : in his judgment the fight was a fair one. Upon opening the head of the deceased a quantity of extravasa ed bloyd was fou d on his brain. The prisoners wer ? found guilty, a. rd sentenced ( o twelve month* imprisonment euch.

THE NEW FOUR PER CFST. PROJECT.— Saturday tvas a day of more than usual interest to the specu- lators in the funds and Ihe ntonied interest in general, having been fixed upon for the closing of the book opened at the Bank of England to receive the names of the dissentients to the four per cent, project. The public securities do not appear to have experienced much fluctuation, although they left off somewhat heavy, owing to the amount of the dissentients being greater than had been anticipated. On Friday there was a much larger sum subscribed than on any other day since the book was opened, but the total amount did not exceed £ 1,160,000. In the early part of the day, and up to about twelve o'clock, very few persons attended to subscribe, but at five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the latest moment for dissenting preparatory to the shotting of the hook, the ad- ditional sum subscribed was £ 1,300,000, making a total Of £ 2,460,000. Two firms alone, it is said, dissented to the extent of upwards of one million, thereby making a sacrifice of about one per cent, ou that amount, or £ 1000 sterling, the price of the dis tented stock in the market this afternoon being only 101J and the assented stock 1021. It ttiay therefore he now said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has succeeded in carrying this extensive measure ftith much less difficulty than could have been anticipated from the very large amount of th • stock ( 145 mil lions), the greater proportion of which is now in fact converted into 3.

First " the King is better," then " tbe King continues better," and lastly u the state of the King's health continues much the same." And to mend the matter, the Court Newsman tells us that.

MONUMENT TO ADMIRAL BENBOW.— We are informed, that designs for the Monument to com memorate the brave Admiral, will be very soon laid before the subscribers for their approval. A more appropriate place could not be pointed out than the elmncH of the church of the parish in which he was born : < h « re many a noble minded youth may be inspired by contemplating the memorial of so great a man, to enthusiastically turn his thoughts to naval jjlory, and become a future hero in support of his country's independence. Monuments to great naval and military heroes certainly vejy often much exalt the human mind> in luce others to follow the same course, and thus fr « fti time to time extraordinary characters, necessary* o the state in great emergencies upport tlse proud ditf inction of the British nation. W. OWKN, Esq. fof Glansevern) after expressing his regret that two of the requisitiouists were prevented appearing that day, the one by illness, and the other by a family affliction, said his object iu attending the meeting was, as far as in him lay, to endeavour to see that the great question now about to be discussed should be rightly understood; and lie trusted he should, at his advanced period of life, have credit for not obtruding himself with any other view thau that of promoting, as far as he could, the public good. Having- for 40 years practised in the Courts of Great Session, he hoped he should be able to satisfy those hom he now addressed that the Petition which he was about 1$ moVe . was founded upon correct con- elusions ; and he would therefore first read the petition, atid then lie would endeavour to show that : s allegations and prayer were founded in truth aud justice. [ Mi*. Owen then rend the petition which is adver- tised in a subsequent column J Mr. OWES observed, thai it was a mistake to sup- pose that this subject had only recently been brought jefore the Legislature: it had been brought before Puiliainent in 1817, by Mr. Ponsouby, who had filled the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and the assertion that he approved of the existing system of Welsh Judicature was incorrect: he ( Mr. Owen) had given evidence before the Committee on which Mr. Ponsonhy sat, aud the conclusion t6 which Mr. Pon- sonby came was lhat the Welsh Judicature hiust be bolished altogether.— That enquiry was terminated by the death of M r. Ponsonby ; and the report brought up recommended the amendment of the system of Welsh Judicature. The next person who moved the subject in Parlia- ment was Mr. Campbell, how Lord Cawdor ; he vVas trenuou8ly opposed by Colonel Wood, the Member for Brecon, who observed that no evidence had been given that affected at all the existing system, with the exception « > f one person, whom he did not know. The Member for Montgomeryshire rose, and told liitn who that person was— it was, indeed, the humble individual now addressing the present assembly •'- and Mr. Wynn was pleased to say that that pers6n, from his long'ex- peiience in the courts was at least entitled to be a witness. Mr. Campbell conducted that enquiry w ith consummate ability ; but, unfortunately for the coun- try, that enquiry was terminated by the death of the late Lord Cawdor, and Ihe consequent' elevation of Mr. Campbell to the House of Peers. The evideuce then elicited, however^ had induced many persons of great weight to adopt the conclusion that the system of Welsh jurisprudence ought to be filtered. Sir W. W. Wynn, a man of gigantic mind, and who would not have taken the course he did without strong grounds for so doing— life, of all men, changed his opinion, and with the Member for this county and other gentlemen, prepared a report, in which every statement was supported by a reference to the evi- dence on which it was founded ; and in this report, after pointing out what iti their opinion ought to be abolished, and intimating some points which should be retained, they Cattle to a conclusion in. which they intimatt d an opinion that the system could only be effectually otuended by the institution of a new ju r is prudence. In consequence, however, of the stale of things not being sufficiently ripe for the introduction of a new system assimilated to that of English jurisprudence, the Act of llife 5lli Geo. IV. was passed, which was intended to remedy snthe of the defects of the existing system, but which, as it wits done as a matter of ne- cessity, he trusted would . not be of long continuance. It had been said, that in the junction of Wales with England, the Principality had been treated as a Con- quered nation ; but it was not so; if they had been conquered at that period, it was into the enjoyment of equal liberty aud au equitable system of jurisprudence subsequently, howevef^ they had, he might say, been conquered, and that by their own siipineness. By the statutes passed in the reign of Henry the Eighth, the Courts of Great Session were created^ as for the trans- action and settlement of all causes aud matters of minor importance, with the impoitant privilege of trying all greater matters in the Corn ts b! Westminster Hall, so thai a plaintiff in Wales could bring his action in the Courts at Westminster with the same facility as if the defendant had resided in Yorkshire. This wholesome— this most beneficial practice prevailed down tothe SUt of December, 1773, when the birth- right ( as he would term it) of u Welshman was taker from him. Ou the 1st of January, 1774, those restrain ing Statutes became law, by which theCouitsof Great Session became Courts of exclusive Jurisdiction, and the Thiee Courts of Westminster Hall were shut against the inhabitants of the Principality. He now came to fhe Act of 5th Geo. IV.— Instead of removing the restraining Statutes, a person was employed lo patch up the Welsh Judicature, and thai Act was passed, which was a jargon of juridical in consistencies. For instance, if a witness chose to keep on the English side of the Long Mountain, the process of the Court of Great Session would not compel his attendance, but to ensure tiiat, an application to the Court at Westminster was necessary. It was a notorious defect of the Statute of 13 Geo. III. that if a plaintiff in a cause ( however just) did not recover £ 10, he was liable to be nonsuited; and yet in Mr. Jones's bill this is extended to £ 50. Again, if a plaintiff sues for a debt of £- 20, and obtains a judg ment with costs, & c. to the amount of £ 30, the debtor, if he Is an unjust person, aud the parties reside in Montgomeryshire, may convey all his per- sonalty to some relation, and though he may have a Considerable estate in Radnorshiie, the nbiiniiff can- not touch it, without going through the process of elegit. All these and many either defects are left Ijurcmedied by Mr. Jones's bill. His ( Mr. Owen's) object was lo do away with all that was bad in the Welsh Jurisprudence, aud to re- tain all that was good : aud for one clause of the pe- tition he was indebted to his friend Mr. Pugh, as would be further stated by aud by. He w ished to in- troduce all that was good in the English system, and to retain all lhat was valuable in their own": he parti- cularly wished to give them the benefit of having English Judges, and a reference, on great questions, to the four Judges sitting in banco in the superior courts. He might shortly state his intensions to he : 1st. To obtain for Wales fit and competent Judges : 2ud, To obtain for their Couits good Officers, who, when Coui ts sat in banco as nt Westminster Hull, tvere of so much importance to the due administration of justice, and more especially in equity ea* es : 3dly, To ensure a sufficient supply of able Counsel : and 4th, To obtain good and impartial Juries He meant not the slightest disparagement to the Juries of Montgomery- shire, who had been frequently so highly and ao de- servedly complimented by the Judges and Counsel: still, however, cases did sometimes arise in which a change of the venve. would lie most desirable, but, which, under the present system, could not be ob- tained : nor did lie wish to advert with the slightest diBiespect to the two able Officers of their circuit. Mr. Owen then observed with regard to the Judges, that he well knew many ofthe highest legal characters ( whose names he mentioned) had been Welsh Judges ; there was, however, this great objection to the sy Stem by which Welsh Judges held their appointments : t rat they could be Judges in Wales while they were practising Barristers in England ; and he quoted in- stances lo show that the inconvenience arising from this had been loo manifest when cases were actually to be tried before them betwten parties for one of whom they had been counsel. As to the counsel,, he had uevet1 known more than two counsel on a circuit to whom in general estimation any importal) t case in equity could be entrusted;; these also were generally both engaged by one of the parties iu the suit, so that the other had been com- pelled to solicit delay, in order to obtain counsel; and it has often occufied: that both trounse. l havit. ig, been engaged for a plaintiff in equity, the only counsel let I tlie defendant weie those unskilled in that branch, and who, inconsistent as it was, have been compelletf to apply to the plaintiff's counsel for advice how to Condubt the defendant's cause. Much had been said relative to the process of cop-*: cessit soli ere. It was true that by that process expenses were sav* d in the outset of the case : yet great iitcoin venieuees had arisen- in the old practice on this head ( the Court consideted every person to be present in it w hen sitting; and a plaintiff could sue out judgment for a debt before a debtor knew that ix\ i'y proceeding?' had been commenced against him : to remedy this the: New Rule was adopted, by which notice Was to be given to the debtor of the action being commenced, and indeed uo> respectable practitioner w ould act with- out giving notice : and hence the unjust debtor against w hom the plaintiff proceeded for a debt of £ 5 could put that plaintiff t- o considerable expense without, a remedy; for ... after the'. plaintiff had gone to a certain expense, the debtor as soon as commission was opened w ou I, d pay into Court the £ 5, and leave the plaintiff without any power of obtaining his costs. Still, how ever, the process of concessit solvere, if properly modi fied, might be retained in Wales with great advantage, and extended also to every county iu England with. Ihe best results. Mr. Owen then entered into an analysis of the parties by whom the abolition and retention of the present system of Welsh Judicature had In en respect- ively advocated, aud in a masterly manner pointed out w hat in his opinion was a proof of the weakness of the case of those w ho w ished to retain the existing system : he said they ; dwelt on the advantages derived to the Principality in the grant of that boon conferred by the establishment of the Courts of Great Session in the reign of Henry the Eighth ; but they did not trace,; the history of the Welsh Judicature to that period when the Principality was deprived of access to t, Jj£ three superior Courts by what the democrats of 1795 would have called the gagging bill" of the 13th of Geo. III., Formerly, too, the Welsh Courts possessed this great privilege, that if the Judges had more busi- ness than they could get through in the five days allotted to the Great Session, they could remit att cases of minor importance lo the County Magistrates to decide, who for this Purpose formed a part of the Court of Great Session. Much had been said of the saving of expense bv the practice of the Court of Great Session. He wished thai expense should be saved to all honest and well- meaning parties : there were, however, some litigious persons, aud the mode of practice now existing gave them the opportunity of protracting their petty- dis- putes about perhaps " a Norfolk groat" during the whole period of the Court's assembly, so that 24 Jurymen aud the whole Court might be kept in at- tendance for a week at great expense and incon- venience while John a Nokcsand William Stiles were obstinately contesting and protracting their frivolous suit, Mr. Owen concluded a most able and learned ad. dress, nf w hich we regret that oar limits and the near approach of the moment of publication prevent us giving more than this brief outline, by repeating his assurance that his only object in giving evidence before Parliament, and in addressing the meeting this day, was the promotion of the welfare of his conn- try, . by endeavouring to retain what was valuable in her Jurisprudence, and at the same time to iiitroduce, « itfl English Judges, a more efficient Bar, and all those advantages which an assimilation to the. English practice would bring with it : at Ihe same time that fie shoflld most strenuously contend against any plan for the dismemberment of the county of Montgomerys— Mr. Owen then proposed his petition, and sat down amid the approbation of the meeting. WjM. IAM PUGH, Esq. ( of Brvn Llywarch) said, his object iu signing the requisition was to gjvc the inhabitants of the county au opportunity of expressing their sentiments on a subject of great importance, on which much had been rumoured, but as to which little was generally known. The Legislature bad issued Reports on the subject of Welsh Jurisprudence, and printed a Bill thereon. The Report con mined one recommendation which in his opinion was inost alarming : it was that the county of Montgomery should be dismembered— that the prisoners and causes from one portion of it should be taken to Shrewsbury, and from the other to Dolgelly : he then determined to endeavour to give his countrymen an opportunity of bein^ heard on this subject ; for be considered* the proposition to which he had adverted as most unjust, most monstrous, and most inconsistent. ( Cheers.) As to the Welsh Judges, too, he felt that he could not express his feelings : he wished to speak w ith respect of those in high stations ; and he would therefore only say lhat there was something in their appointment that was unbecoming; he said this as a general proposition, aud he would say nothing further.— As to this introduetiou of English Judges, he could not see why, for the purposes of justice, Wales could not he feugland and England Wales; and he should wish to sec that wise provision again in oprration by which cases of small debt could be left to the cheap and speedy reiftedy of a decision before the Magis. trates, to whom they could be remitted by the Judges as formerly allowed. He had, with regard to his own views, prepared a resolution, which his friend Mr Owen had embodied in bis petition, which he there fore begged pet mission to seebnd on this occasion — Mr. Pugh'* address was received with great applause Col. DAVIPS moved, as an amendment, that the first clause only of Mr, Owen's petition should he retained, with an addition that would tend to shew the decide*! wish of the County to preserve the existing Juris, diction us expressed by the Grand Jury al the late Great Session. Mr. OWES said his petition was framed so, its to correspond with the wishes of the Grand Jury. Much discussion took place ou this point, and on some points of forth as to the adoption and signing of the petition; in the course of which Mr. Ojfw& n observed, that he had been in formed, fronVbfgh authority, that the intention of dismembering the counties had b£ en abandoned.— The petitions were finally put to the Meeting, and that proposed by , Vir . Owen was carried by a large majority.— The othpr resolutions advertised were adopted unanimously, and. the meeting dispersed. At a private Ordination, by the Right Reverend Father- in- God the Lord Bishop of London, held at his Palate at Fulham, on Sunday, April 25th, John Wood Waiter, of Christ Church, Oxford, was admitted to the order of Deacon. The Earl of Aberdeen has appointed the flev. John Wood WTarter Chaplain to his Majesty's Embassy at Copenhagen. On Saturday last, the 24th inst. Edward Yardley, B A. 6f Magdalen College, Cambridge, was elected a Fellow of that Society. At the rent- audit of the Earl of Powis, for his Mont- for& and Shrawardine estates, on Wednesday last, £ 10 per cent, was returned to each of the tenants on their Respective rents. , The friends of Robert Bell Price, Esq. of Bitterley High Sheriff of Radnorshire, whose marriage we announced in our last Journal, dined on Wednesday at the Angel Inn, Ludlow, where a sumptuous enter- tainment was |) rbvi'ded, Of which a numerous and highly respectable company partook ( George Andcr son, Esq. in the chair), and where the good humour and conviviality of the evening prevailed until a late hour, thereby testifying the high esteem in which Mr. Price and his amiable bride are held in the neigh- bourhood SACRLLRFCE.— In the month of April last, as our readers will recollect, the parish church of Condover, near this town, was entered and robbed of the whole of the valuable communion plate; a reward of £ 50 was at that tirhe offered for tlie apprehension of the offender or offenders; but no trace of the thief or thieves was discovered until Thursday last; on which day Thomas Chctwoody a well- known inmate ( on Various charges) of our County Gaol, was appre- hended through the vigilance of Mr. Pierson, watch- maker, of Bridgnorth, to whom Chetwood had on that day offered a portion of the stolen plate for sale. — The prisoner, having undergone a preliminary ex amination at Bridgnorth, was brought to our County (£ aol on Saturday last; and on Monday he underwent a final examination in our County Hall, and was fully committed to Gaol for trial at the next Assizes.— He had been in custody last week on another charge of felony; and narrowly escaped conviction at our last Assizes, on a charge of poaching, in the night- time, with two other persons, on the estate of Mrs. Powys, of Berwick, near this town: he was then arraigned by the name of Angel Thomas Grosvenor alias Thomas Chetwood. Committed to our County Gaol, f James Allison* charged with having stolen a silver watch, at Wel- lington, from the person of Joseph Mansell, of Wrockwardine Wood. WORCESTERSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.— The Court was occupied for five hours, on Tuesday^ in the appeal case, The Staffordshire and Worcester- shire Canal Navigation and The Hamlet of Lower Witton.—- The Court of King's Bench having decided, that the profits of the locks lying within the hamlet of Lower Milton ( for passing which Id. per ton is payable under the Company's Act,) were to be exclu- sively rated in and to the relief of the poor of the said hamlet, referred it to the Sessions to determine at what sum they were to be rated; accordingly, the case came on, and the Court, after hearing evidence arid arguments on both sides, determined that the / Company should be rated in the said hamlet, in inspect, ofthe profits of the said locks, at £ 550. The principal point in issue was, whether the expenses of a steam- engine erected in the said hamlet, for the pur- pose of pumping water out of the Severn into the jasans there, ought to be deducted out of the profits of the locks, or the general profits of the canal. The Court adjudged, that as the water supplied by such engine benefited the whole canal, the expense of it ought to come out ofthe profits of the canal, and not out of the profits of the locks.— This disputed rate has been upwards of four years in litigation.

ER TRADE.— At the General Quarter Sessions for this county, last week, Mr. Richard Taylor ( one of the Deputies 011 the late discussions relative to the Malt Trade), with several of the Pro- prietors of Licensed Houses and Licensed Victuallers, had an interview with the County Magistrates, ami laid before them a statement of the grievances to which they considered themselves liable to be sub- jected by the proposed Act for a Free Trade in Beer — Tbey were heard with much attention, and their statement was taken into the serious consideration of the { Magistrates assembled, who unanimously adopted the following resolutions:— " That it is the opinion of the Magistrates now assembled, that the general opening of the Sale of Beer to all houses indiscriminately would be injurious to the present interests and morals of the population of this County; and they cannot but recommend, that the new licensing the houses for the opening of the trade for the sale of beer shall he allowed only to houses where the liquor shall not be consumed upon the premises. " That the Chairman do draw up a Memorial grounded upon the foregoing resolution, and sign- the same on behalf of this Sleeting, and forward it to His Majesty's Government." EFFECTS OF FREE TRADE IN BEER.— A few days ago the Bellman of Preston was employed to go round in search of a tenant for one of the public- houses in that town. It has generally happened for the last thirty years, that when any of the licensed houses were to be let the circumstance had scarcely been known in public before forty or fifty applications have been made, though the rents have been enormously high, and the premium for entrance ( or good- will as it is generally termed) have been considerable.

Sturt.—' This was an action of ejectment and trespass brought by Charles . GrindaH, as heif- at- law, to recover the possession of: . some premises which had been fhe property of the plaintiff's upcle, and to try the validity of a; will by whibh the uncle left this pro- perty to tlpe present defendant, Captain Sturt. Mr. Brougham and Mr. appeared for the plain- tiff. The" Attorney- General, Mr. Denman, Mr. Campbell* Mr: Pattison, and Mr. B. Andrews^ were for the defendant, who pleaded not. guilty. The friar elected great interest, as well from \ vhat had'already , appeared respecting it before the public, as the amount at issue, the property left by Mr. Grindali being estimated as worth about £ 200,000. The case occupied the Court t/ Wo entire days; and after art immense body of evidence was gone through, Mr. ^ Brougham icalled a number of witnesses, to prove tfie testator was of unsound mind at the time he made hisc'wilty and also that he was under the influence of Captain Sturt. The Attorney- General in reply said, that Captain Sturt Jiad uirted in the most honourable manner; all he hadfd uie tiad been fair and open Medical men had been sent for to ascertain the soundness of the testator's mjnd, and professional men to make his will. • To" all the persons employed prior to the execntion of, the will, Captain Sturt. was a stranger, and not one of those persons derived the least interest under the will, so that the whole transaction miist be above suspicion. He contended, that there would be an ettd of-- the right of bequeathing property from heirs- at- law Unless such wills as the present were sustained'bv Juries. Lord Tenterden said, the question for the Jury ivas, whether ihe testator's will had been his own free and voluntary, ? ct; and whether, at the time of making it, he was in a sufliciently sound state of mind to dispose of his property according to his wishes? With respect to its being his voluntary act, it was to be recollected that his displeasure towards his nephetvs commenced before the recommencement of his acquaintance with Captain Sturt, who was out . of the country at. the tinie, in 1826, when tlve old gentle- man bad been taken to Tunbridge by his nephew Charles: and it was also clearly proved, that after his return from that place, aud before he went to Captain Sturt's, he lived in a state of great anxiety at his own house io JufkUplaco, where his nephew John lived with htm ; and the testator, during that time, was anxious to live either with Mrs Jupp or Mrs. L-, » \ v- sonj neither of whom'could accommodate him; It was farther proved, that the testator frequently said, that Unless Captain Sturt accepted the properly, he would leave it. to some public . charity, as no doubt he had a right to do, if he was of - sound mind ; and on this point, it .. was for the Jury to say whether, though he was occasionally subject to weakness, ot* e*'{' n imbecility, he was not, at. the time of making his will, in sufficient possession of his faculties for that pur- pose. i Tltf JtifyVwilhoVif hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant, thereby establishing the validity of the will. .

TO INSOLVENT DEBTORS ANR OTHERS. -^ William PoVtcr"( who had taken the benefit of the Insolvent .^ ct). was indicted, under a clause. in an Act of the 7tli year of the present King, for omitting in his schedule, and for fraudulently concealing, certain articles, his property 5 and John Bridgen and James Lioyd, for aiding and assisting in the said transaction. Verdict, guilty. Porter to be imprisoned twelve, months ta iled labour ; and Bridgen aud Lloyd six months each also to hard labour. SINGULAR., CASE.— James Stacey, a small farmer, resident at Gravenhunger, near VVoore, had a bill of indictment tf( H » nd against him at the last Adjourned Sessions tor this county, for stealing a copper potj Which was alleged to be the property of Mr. Edward Sharratt,. uf fhe Wood, near Adbaston, and to have been sto I en; from . him at the distant period of thirteen years agor. namely, in 1817. The accused was not taken into. custody on this charge, as Sir John Chet- wode, the ina^ istrate, before whom the case was heard, declined cou. unitting him. Stacey having given notice to the prosecutor that he would appear and take his trial at the. present Sessions, in conformity with sucli declaration, he on Friday appeared in Court, and sur- rendered himself for trial. A great number of wit- nesses \ vereexamined for the prosecution ; and they appeared to he confident that the pot ( which was produced, and which had been found at Staccy's house) was the one which had belonged to Mr. Shar- ra tt, in 1817, and antecedently. The Chairman thought, atv the conclusion of the case for the Crown, that it was unnecessary for Mr. VVhateley' ( who ap- peared for iStacey) to enter upon the defence. Mr. Whafeley said lie had twelve witnesses, of undoubted and unimpeachable character, who would prove that the pot had been the property and in the possession of Stacey's fauiily for forty years. Verdict, by direction of the Chairman, not guilty. The Chairman stated emphatically thai Stacey left the Court without the slightest stain upon his character.

VAGRANTS.— The number of idle vagabonds tra- 1 veiling the country soliciting- charity has lately become a serious nuisance, and the strict enforce- ment of the laws against therrt is rendered neccssafy for the safety of the community. The worthy Chair man of our Quarter Sessions some time since directed the attention of the Jury to the oireiinisfatlce; and file following, artiongst' ntany others which-- have come to our knowledge^ prove the correctness rift lie observations lie made on the subject. On the 13th inst. about seven in the evening, a sturdy fellow called at the house of .1 Tomkins, Esq of the Weir, near Hereford, and rather demanded than solicited charity from One of the female servant!?, who told him to go away; which he refilled- to do; nnd after he had remained nearly a quarter of an hour impor- tuning her, she art last called her master. Mr. Tomkins desired him to depart immediately from the premises, which lie in tbe most nnpudent manner declined to do, and Mr. T. then laid his hands on the fellow's collar, when the rascal instantly turned, and, with a short bludgeon be had in his hand, struck Mr. Tomkins repeatedly on the head and face, inflicting the most severe wounds, and the blood following the blows. Mr. T. immediately closed with the rascal and knocked liini down, falling upon him; when, the fellow contrived to get his bludgeon actoss the back of Mr. T.' s neck, and; polling it tightly, attempted to strangle him After struggling for some time, a man came up v'ho had been called by the servant girl, and assisted Mr Tomkins; when the fellow was secured, hound, and conveyed to Hereford in a cart, where he was taken before a Magistrate, aud committed to the House of Correction for one month, as a vagrant.— A few weeks since, two fellows called at a cottage near Ross, and, seeing only a female in it, proceeded to violence for the purpose of obtaining money. Fortunately, a small dog in the house began barking at tlieni, which was heard by her husband at sotrie distance, who remarked to a man with him that his dog signified something was wrong; and they hosteijcd t<) the cottage just iri time to rescue the poor woman from being ill- treated by the vagabond-, who were secured and committed to Gaol:— Hereford Jo irnol. The Liv rpool Times says—" The most active preparations nre making to establish a railway froin this place to London, by way of Birmingham. Last wee*; a company was formed in tbis town, which, in conjnnclion with another company established at Birmingham; is intended to execute that part of the road which lies between the two towns, and surveys are making by other individuals south of Birming- ham, with the view of prolonging the line to the metropolis. The Liverpool and Birmingham Rail- way is intended to cross the Mersey at Runcorn, by a bridge, which will be ohe of the largest, if not the largest in the kingdom. The funds necessary for surveying the line have been raised, and the survey will, we believe, be commenced without loss of time. The expense of the railway between Liverpool and Birmingham is expected to be a million and a half sterling." WEEPIVG ASH.— The large and beautiful tree of this species which has been upwards Of forty years an ornament to the gardens 011 the Kedleston Road, near Derby, long iu the cultivation of the late Mr. Joseph Wilson, and now of bis sons, Messrs Wilson, was a short time since purchased from them by his Grate fhe Duke of Devonshire, for the purpose of being removed to ( hatsworth. The undertaking was commenced on Wednesday morning week, under the direction of the proprietors and Mr. Paxton ( the Duke's gardener). With the assistance of forty labourers and several horses, they were enabled to remove the tree from the ground and load it upon a machine constructed by Messrs. Strutt, of Belper. This was a carriage improved from Stewart's principle,, and lent for this purpose to his Grace. The machine, with the tree securely fixed upon it., was moved from this place about six o'clock on Friday evening week, arid tbottgh the tree and earth attached to the root weighed nearly eight tons, it reached Chatsworth without halting and without, accident at twelve o'clock the following day. The distance is twenty- eight • miles, and contrary to expectation it was able to pass through the different toll- bars with one exception, without displacing them ; the greatest difficulty oc- curred at the Milford toll- bar, which by the skill and exertions of Mr. Anthony Strutt, was considerably abated. The gates and wall at the entrance to Chats- worth Park were, however, obliged to !> e taken down, and the branches of some trees in the park lopped off'. Iiis Grace met the tree at the entrance of the park, and was much gratified hy its safe arrival — The spot destined for the. tree was fixed on by bis Grace, and is situated in the north- west front of the grand entrance to the house n a iti ur. iil of earth raised for the pur- pose, and it will add greatly to the picturesque and romantic effect of the Scenery. — The removal of a tree fifty years old, and the chance of its living is con- sidered by the public n<* very problematical; but horticulturists of experience are of a different opinion, aiid frotii the care and. attention that has been paid in this instance, no limiUt seems to exist of its future growth. Some of the roots extended twenty- eight feet, and fhe branches measured thirty- seven feet from the centre. It was originally a graft upon an ash stock, and it is of a nature to endure for many generations. BOW- STREET.— On Wednesday evening a most daring and extensive robbery was committed at the bouse of tilt* Marquis of Bath, in Grosvenor- sq'tiare. The robber or robbers carried off from his lordship's pantry sixty- one solid silver plates during the tempo- rary absence of the servant who had them in charge. It is conjectured that the party who- stole the property must have obtained access to the house by slipping down the area steps, and that his Accomplices were outside in waiting to carry off ( be booty. An individual who had been in his lordship's service ha. been taken up on suspicion, aud on Friday underwent an examination, in private before- Sir Hic'bartl Biruie. With the nature of the evidence against the prisoner we are not acquainted, but, although active search is making for the plate, it is feared it will riot avail, as no doubt it has long since undergone transmutation in the crucible of some of the family men. A CONCLAVE OK VIRTUOSI.— On the Tst of April ( of all the days in the year) the gamekeeper of Sir J. Johnson caught a very fine bird of the eagle kind, measuring fotir feet across the wings when . extended, and it was immediately determined to hand ofcer this beautiful specimen of the regal birds fo fhe new . Museum at Scarborough. An influential officer of the Museum was accordingly waited upon, arid, of course, gladly Undertook the charge. He hastily summoned a few of tbe most select of the virtuosi of the totfn, arid they proceeded to the Museum to make arrangements for the killing, stuffing, arid permanent accommodation of the vara uvis. One gentleman proposed that the bird should be immediately killed; another, that the killing should be postponed . until they had found an appropriate situation;; a third, that they should tie his legs before determining what more to do ivith him. This plan was adapted, and well it was they did so, for the bird having some most powerful claws had already begun to show that lie knew how to use them on the heads of the conspirators against his life and liberty. The gentlemen then pro- ceeded to discuss tin.' mode of putting to dentil tbis beautiful bird, which created a warm debate, and oc- cupied considerable time.. But here, oh reader! it becomes us to stop and to bring to your recollection the old distitcb— tl ' Twixt the enp and ( lie lip There is many a slip } For bis majesty having overheard the base design of his enemies to put him to death, and. perceiving that there was nothing between him and the clear blue sky but a little glass, thought his unlive freedom worth a struggle, and immediately took' flight, cutting through the weak impediments with as'much eaie as if he had been a nine- pounder shot from a long gun; thus leaving his kind friends to make merry over his departure.— York Covrant. FATAL ACCIDENTS — A fatal occurrence took place at the consolidated mines, Gwennap, on Monday afternoon. An immense boiler belonging to one of the steam- engines, and which weighs about 15 tons, was being removed, and for that purpose it was placed on a carriage used for such purposes," and . to which were attached twenty horses. The carriage Irad to descend by a gentle slope; along the side of a declivity of about 25 feet ill height, and part of the road was constructed for the occasion. About 101) men were employed in retarding the motion of the carriage along the descent, and for this purpose several strong ropes were attached to it, which were held by tbe men. When the carriage came to the newly- made part of the road, the weight caused the ground to give way, and the boiler w- as precipitated over the. declivity. — One of the. men employed in retarding its progress along the road, named James Northey, became en- tangled in the ropes, and was whirled with- immense velocity after the boiler, down the precipice, by which he was so dreadfully injured as to occasion his death. The procession at Stratford in honour of Shnfe- speare's natal day was nf a splendid description, and the costume of the different characters was rich and appropriate. The Weather, which no doubt ke| 4 many visitors away, cleared up about one. when the procession began to move, and returned Without rain It halted opposite, Shakspcare's llirfh'place, where a gentlemaii delivered an address, writ ten for the occa- sion, wljich was received with enthusiasm.

[ From the Newry Telegraph ] We have this day to record one of the most dis- tressing evi tits that has occurred, in connexion witli tbis town, fur many years back. The largest am! best- conditioned paSscnger- vessel we huCe ever srt'ft leave this port, . tlie' A'uicri/, winch sailed hence o, i Wednesday week, for Quebec, was, on Friday night-, during a fog, accompanied by a smnri. giilc from tin- » outh- « est, driven on tbe rocks at Pwllheli, North Wales, and totally wrecked.— We may well- regnr- t the loss of a ship so creditable to pur port— we may regret too, the immense sacrifice. Vif property that ha « . been sustained ( for property, clothing, money,, va- lu - ables — all— every particle of gOiufs belonging to. tbe unfortunate passengers, about 300 jti number, is • irretrievably lost)— but how shall ive express til.' feelings that spring up ill our breasts on learning, as we now do, from most unquestionable authority, that the destruction of vessel arid property has been ; tI' tended by the loss of at least fifty human beings ! The following affecting and seaman like letter fruiu Captain Crosby, to the respectable owners of the Newry, will be read with the deepest interest— " Porther, near Pwllheli, 18th April, 1830. " GENTLEMEN,— It is my painful duty. to jnforui you of the loss of your ship, the Newry, of Newrj f on Friday night, tbe 10th instant, on the rocks at tow place. After 1 left Warrenpoint, 1 had nothing, but thick foggy weather, with gales of wind successively, from about S. W. On Friday night, in the act nf putting the ship about ( rio land in sight, the Weather being so thick), she struck upon a rock, which knocked off the rudder, and immediately paid right round, and backed in upon the rocks on I lie lee shore, with hct1 head off the land, where, I am sorry to say, she now lies a total wreck. " My first care was to endeavour fo preserv? as many lives as possible. The carpenter and second mate got on shore with difficulty, and with the assist- ance of the mate and myself on board, contrived til save the lives of a great number of the passengers; but, the tide flowing, they could with difficulty stand the rock during tiie night. I cut the irilzetf- mast away, in the hope of reaching tHe shore; but it failing, I was oblfged to cut awiiy the lnain- mast, . which also fell short. I then, with the assistance from the shore, got a top mast out, on which most of the passenger* xlided on to the rocks, steadying themselves with lines, which were held by the carpenter and second mate; notwithstanding, many of thein fell off, and, I am afraid, never gained the shore. " The sea running sit high," tlie tide'Mill rising anil the gale iiicreitsing, ! found it impossible to save any part of the materials, or iri fact, any of the luggage. For my own part, I have lost every stitch of my clothes, save thoSe iri which I escaped from the ship.- " The Crew are all saved, and on their way home, as are also most of the surviving passengers. I am- most terribly bruised with the rocks getting on shore. I supposfe tbe lives lost may be estimated at about 50. young and old. The eight at present here is most lamentable— rtfeiid bodies taking out of . water every . day! The Taylor, family hn<? all . perished— three of their bodies have been picked up and buried. « I amj Gentlemen, your obedient sertrtnf, - V « JOHN C ROSBY. " Messrs. ,' nmes and Joseph l. yle." .

We understand that it is the intention of severaf respectable gentlemen to wait on the inhabitants of Newry, this day and to- morrow, to solicit aid for the surviving sufferers, numbers of whom may be ex- pected here daily; and, certain we are, that aid will not lie solicited from nut- townsmen ill vain. 1- et it he recollected that these forlorn arid destitute people were, . we may say, our neighbours, many of them highly respectable in their rank of life. In truth, we had not for many years witnessed the emigration of a more comfortable class of farmers than what had, on this occasion, gone out iu the Newry. They were all, we hear, possessed of pecuniary means, varying from 20 to 2110 sovereigns, and mure, in each family, which, together with their clothing and provisions,' • have been, as already observed, totally lost. Those" who, but a few days ago, big with hope', looked for- ward, perhaps, with too sanguine expectation, to future prosperity and comfort for themselves and families, hy this awful visitation of Almighty God, w ho truly " moves in a mysterious way," have had the cup of anticipated enjilyrtient dashed in a moment, from their lips; ntapy, alas'. too many have made their beds in the deep— and the living, cast awav in a Strange though hospitable land, have been reduced tu the deepest misery arid wretchedness. How many hitherto happy wives now mourn Ihe loss of husbands and of children,! how many husbands, the loved partners of their cares, their joys and sorrows!— and how nun) helpless orphans call now on that father or that mother whom they shall never on earth behold again ! Reader! we ask your sympathy— we crave vntir nid i can you — will you' refuie either to fellow- creatures thus unexpectedly cast pennyless on tho. world ?

In the Matter of the Proprietors of tl< c Birmingham uiul Liverpool Junction Canal John Bayley. This case occupied the Court during a consider- able portion if the time allotted to . the Sessions. It « n a question as to the amount ol compensation to lie awarded to Sir. John Bayley, the proprietor ot an estate of about 300 acres in the parish of F. dg- mond, for the land lo be taken from his estate lor the purpose of forming nearly a mile and half of the intended line of fhe proposed canal, and also for the damage and inconvenience that will be occasioned to Ihe occupation of Ihe said estate by its being ii. teisectcd by the said intended canal. On Monday and Tuesday much discussion took p'ace between the Counsel and Attorneys lor the respective parties, with a view to an arrangement ol the business, without sending it before a Jury : in this, however, they did not succeed ; aud 18 of the Gentlemen summoned as Grand Jurors having been ulso summoned as Jurors to try this question be- tween the Canal Proprietors and Sir. Bayley, the following twelve were on Tuesday sworn as the Jury by whom the matter was to be decided :— Edward John Blake, of t'ffingtou John Lowe, of Whitchurch George Taylor, of Bouitigale John Shuker, of Walton George Dodson, of Cressagc Robert Gittius, of Stapleton Thomas Wilkiuson, of Plealey John Gardner, of Aslerley Richard Shuker, of Lydleys Hayes John Berriiiglon, of Stanton Lacy David Adams, of Melverley Joseph Humphreys, of Shot.'. tton. Of this number the undermentioned Gentlemen were ihosen as Viewers, and were immediately forwarded iu two carriages to view that portion of the estate, & c. which Ihe intended canal will affect, and the line along w hich it is to pass :— Edward John Blake George Dodson John Lowe Richard Shuker John Shuker Joseph Humphreys. At ten o'clock on Wednesday morning the Court assembled, and Ihe Viewers having returned, the Jury wi re called over.— It was then arranged thai the evidence on each side should be adduced pre- vious to the address of Counsel. Mr. Thomas Eyre Lee, examined by Mr. Bather. — 1 went to Mr. ' Bayley, and, on behalf of the Pro- prietors of the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal, offered liim £ 105 per acre for such land as would be required for the purpose of the canal ; he demanded £ 150 per acre ; tbe line proposed, and the quantity of laud to be taken, had beeh ascer- tained; he hnd seen Ihe plan, and he said the quantity was greater than we had stated it; there are some angular and minute parts that will be seveied, and by the Act the Company will be com- pelled to take them, if the pieprietor requires it, und the oti'cr of £ 105 per acre i eluded these parts ulso; Ihe proprietor has the option, under the Act, of keeping them if he pleases. The sum of £ 300 was agreed to as the compensation lo be made to Mr. Buyley for injury that will be done to some water- meadows, in consequence of the irrigation being cut off by tbe canal ; a road and carrier is also to be made in this place : but this £ 300 forms no part of tbe present enquiry. Cross- examined by Mr Corbet! — 1 was prepared to give £ 105 per acre ; I offered it on the lllth of April; 1 told him 111 acres would be wanted, and if more was taken it shnuld be paid for at the same rate, with interest in the mean time. Mr. Ilayley said he would not lake £ 105 per acre, lur he hud himself given £ 108 per acre for it 12 or 13 years ago : he said he had at that lime bought u consider- able quantity of laud. Mr. Bayley said be believed he could ha\ e settled the matter amicably with Mr. Joseph Lec ( of Redbrook), but if he did he should perhaps offend Mr. Bell, as be had consulted him ou the subject. I said I wished to do what was right, and to give him a fair price. The original 1 ne of the canal, as delineated ill Ihe map before Parliament, would have gone through part of Mr. Bayley's land, but not to so great an extent as the intended line, which, however, was in conformity with the Act, inasmuch as the Proprietors were authorized to vary the line, so that they kept within 100 yards of the line originally laid down, except- ing ouly under special circumstances as recited in, the Act. Mr. W. Jellicoe, examined by Mr. Whateley.— I am a land- valuer aud surveyor. I have surveyed aud valued the land now the subject of enquiry. Mr. Jellicoe here went into a detail qf the quantity of land to be laken in each of the fifteen fields through which Ihe canal would pass, and the value which he assigned to each respectively : some parts of it he estimated as worth 30s. per acre to rent, aud other parts as varying from that sum up to 70s. per acre per annum. The total quantity required for the canal would be 13A. 111. 16P. and that he estimated at the annual value of £ 34. l( is. 7d. At 30 years' purchase that would amount lo £ 10- 14. 17s. 6d.: to this he added the sum of £ 348. 5s. lOcl. being 10 years' purchase, as compensation for the deterioration and subsequent inconvenience of oc- cupation, as well as for the severance of the estate agaiust the proprietor's will : making the whole sum which, in bis opinion, Mr. Bayley was entitled to, £ 1393 3s. 4d. Examination resumed.— I consider the annual • value put on the land by me as the lull value; as more than a tenant could afford lo pay. If, us a land- agent, 1 had tbe quantity of land to let in Ihe same situation, I could not let it to a respectable tenant at that rent, nor to any person that meant . to pay for it. I think the value of 10 years' pur- chase iu addition is a fair compensation lor the land being taken against the owner's consent. I have been employed to value the tithes of Ihe parish of Edgmoud for many years, and 1 have also valued much hind iu the parish ; 1 know Mr. Bayley's land very well; one part of his estate is as to /( I as this land, aud greater part is better than this land I have had much conversation with Sir. Bayley when valuing bis tithes; on one occasion lie said some of the meadow land in this line was rough land. The line of the intended canal docs not go through the best part of his meadows, with the exception of the field near the house. Cross- examined by Sir. Corbett.— I have put the value of the land severed as actual value, and added 10 years' purchase fur its being taken against the will of the owner. In making my calculations I have made no allowance for temporary damage to be done in the course of the work of forming the canal, but my estimate is for permanent damage by the sever- ance of the land and for its actual value, and also for iis being taken against the pioprietor's will. The line is about one mile and a half through the estate, [ It was here mentioned that about 40 acres would be Bcvcrcd from the main body of Ihe estate, and that the severed portion would remain a narrow slip ex. tending the distance of a mile and half or thereabouts. The extreme depth of cutting will he 22 feet ill ope field, and the highest point of embankment will be ( i feet. No person can give an estimate as to the banking until it arises : Ihe ' damage must be estimated then. The canal will come within about 100 yards of Sir. Bayley's house; it will come close to the garden ; the garden will lie between the canal and the house. [ It was here menticned that there will be a lock on the canal near the house, where the public road is ] I have made no allowance for the annoyance, interruption, and discomfort that will be occasioned by the canal and lock being so near the house; I include that in the 10 years' purchase ; I include every thing in the 10 years' purchase, except the temporary Wantage. The canal will cross the road about 110 yards from Sir. Bayley's house, and a . bridge and an embankment will be there ; the bridge and the embankment will be in view of his garden. In the 10 years' purchase I include all the considerations of the canal coming near the house, the severance of the land, and the inconvenience in going over bridges to the land for general occupation. I make my calculation on there being three private bridges as marked in the plan, one of which is to he on Mrs, Marsh's land, but Mr. Bayley is to have a right of road over it. I have been valuing, on oilier occasions for the canal; I am not an agent for the canal, but have been called in by them and other parties where disputes have arisen. I know that in the case of Mr. Borough's land it was paid for at the rate of £ 150 per acre.—[ Sir. Bather here objected to foing into any comparative evidence as to other land, the value of which might depend upon circumstances, to which the Court could have no ciue.— The Court assented to Sir. Bather's objection.] Re- examined.— I have in my calculation allowed for every inch of ground to the foot of the embank ment where embankment is made, and lo the edge of the canal where there is no embankment. Ill answer to questions by the Court, Mr. Jellicoe said— I should estimate the angular and minute parts severed from the rest at the price of the land taken for the canal. Mr. Bayley's house is so situated on an elevation that the six- feet embankment will not obstruct the view from it. Sir. Richard White examined by Mr Bather.— I have valued tbe land in question; I estimate the gross value of the land required, at 30 years' pur- chase, to be £ 1062. 12s. fid.— I include in this the small angular pieces severed in four fields through which the canal passes. [ The value, excluding the angular pieces, he estimated at £ 923. 10s. and Mr. While entered into a detail of the value at which he estimated the several portions of hieadoiv, arable, and pasture land which the proposed line of canal will require to be taken; and he allowed £ 307. 16s. 8d. or 10 years' purchase, for its being taken against the proprietor's will, on an estimate of its being of the annual value of £ 30. 15s. 8( 1] Examination resumed.— 1 consider the rent I have put on the land to be a high rent; I think a tenant could not afford to give more ; I consider 30 years' purchase to be the outside value of the land in that situation ; I am aware that the land is titheable for great and small tithes. In adding 10 years' purchase 1 considered all circumstances lhat could be estimated. I made , tny estimate on a knowledge of where the bridges were to be placed. I do not consider that the pccupation will be very difficult if bridges are made at the places intended ; looking at the intended alterations, 1 do not consider the inconvenience of severance and approach to the lands very great; 1 consider that 1 have allowed liberally for all circum- stances. I do not think that I could find a tenant at the price I have put on the land : if 1 did, I think he could not live at that rent. If the canal was stocked with tisli, as other canals are, the fishery, as a matter of convenience, for a mile and half, might be worth £ 5 a- year. < ross- examined by Mr. Corbett.— I have not esti- mated the value of the canal as a cold bath. Mr. Bayley is within an easy distance of lime and coal at present; the canal would not be any convenience to Sir. Bayley in that respect. I Consider my valuation as the extreme value. Re- examined.— I valued on 13A. 1R. 16P. ; and I consider that this part of the farm would be very dear ut 40s. per acre. I cannot estimate the tem- porary damage by cutting and embanking until that has been done. My valuation is for the damage to be done in executing the work. I have not made an estimate for the crops growing on the land to be taken. If I were to give an estimate, I should say it would be allowing very liberally to estimate as for 30 bushels of wheat per acre, and 40 of barley on the best land. I think it will be a great advantage and convenience to Mr. Bayley that he is to be allowed to draw ail his manure for all his land along the canal, if he pleases, tonnage free ; I think that advantage would be about Is. 6d. per ton on the quantity he would draw; it would certainly be a great conve- nience, as Newport is so near. 1 do not know where tenants' profits are at present. The basis of the profits of the tenant is formed of his capital employed and his own skill and industry; the landlord's profit arises from the quantity of land let to a tenant to exercise his capital and skill upon. In valuing rents as to tenants, I never include tlieir skill and capital. In my estimate I have put the most ample value on the land in question ; I have taken to the foot of the embankments, and to tbe edge of the canal where there is only cutting. Sir. Eustham examined.— The original line of the canal would not have gone through Mr. Bayley's land near the house ; the line was varied for the accommodation of the Company, to obviate the canal crossing a brook ; the original line would have been on the other side of the brook for about 600 yards; the towing- path near Sir. Bayley's house will be on Ihe side of the canal farthest from Sir. Bayley's house. The bridges were marked ofr the plan at a conference with Mr. Bayley. Mrs. Slarsh's agent has agreed that Mr. Bayley shall have a right of road over a bridge on her land, otherwise Sir. Bayley wished to have a bridge about 40 yards from this on his own land ; if the Company cannot establish a permanent right of road arross Sirs. Marsh's land, another bridge will be built for Sir. Bayley's accom- modation. This closccl the case for the Proprietors of the Canal. For Sir. Bayley the following witnesses were ex- amined. Sir. Richard Hammond.— I am a land surveyor and farmer, at Heath Hill, near Newport; I made the map now before the Court. Mr. Bayley's farm is about a mile and half from lime aud three miles from coal. Sir. Thomas Bayley.— I am brother to Sir. John Bay ley; I know the land in question ; he purchased it by auction in 1817. Sir. Samuel Bell, examined by Mr. Corbett.— I am agent to Ihe Trustees of the late Sir. Leeke and to Sir. Borough ; I know the land in question ; 1 have examined the land proposed to be taken for the canal; I have made a valuation of it. 1 valued the land on the average of the whole quantity. I eraged it at £ 3- 5s. per acre to rent; iu arriving at lhat conclusion, I put a different value on different parts of it; 1 consider it a rent that a tenant could afford to pay ; 1 have the letting of the land adjoin- ing belonging to Sir Leckc and Sir. Borough. If the land in question were sold as a lot of land, I should sell it at 30 years' purchase. The total would be £ 1301. 12s. til. This is exclusive of the angular pieces that will be severed; and I consider it a fair price. The purchase money at this rent would be £ 97. 10s. an acre, lu addition to this, I estimate the permanent injury by the severance of the land, and the inconvenience and discomfort that will be oc- casioned by the canal, at £ 8110. I consider the lands severed as deteriorated to the extent of £ 10 an acre, which for 40 acres is £ 100; and 1 estimate the in- jury by the severance and annoyance at £ 400 ; making in the whole £ 800 for the permanent damage done to the estate. Mr. Bayley's farm is about 300 acres; and if it were to he sold, it will be deteriorated to the amount of £ 800 by the canal and incon- veniences accruing therefrom. I have iticiudcd in this £ 800the probable damage in making the works; but I have not included any valuation for water- meadows, that having been arranged separately. 1 have taken into my consideration the bridges to be erected. 1 have not estimated the value of the timber that, is on the line of the canal; that will be to be paid for in addition. I think 10 years' pur- chase on tbe quantity of land taken for the canal is not a sufficient allowance for the severance and in- convenience. Cross- examined by Mr. Whateley.— Without having the particular value of the several fields along the line, 1 take the average value of £ 3. 5s. per acre. To the best of uiv judgment 1 could find a tenant for the lands at tbe value 1 have put on them. This land is titheablc for great tithes, and I should take tbe tithe on an average along the line of the canal at 9s. per acre. So far as this land goes, 1 think the price I have put on it is a fair rent between landlord and on this land at that rate. I think great damage will be clone to the estate, in consequence of a part, of the lands severed by fhe canal being left without a single dry bank for the cattle to lie down upon. I have allowed for the nuisance to be occasioned hy the canal coming so near Sir. Bayley's house, and for the annoyance to his feelings in having Ihe navi- gators at work on the line.— I have included in the £ 800 the probable injury by incidental damage in cutting the canal, taking down fences, & c. 1 have known 40 or 50 years' purchase given for what may be termed accommodation land. Re- examined — I reckon £ 400 for permanent injury done to the estate, and £ 400 for the annoy- ance, discomfort, and other inconveniences occasioned by the canal passing through it; iu this latter sum 1 include £ 100 for ihe temporary damage while cut- ting the line, & c. • Mr. Thomas Deakiu, examined by Sir. Corbett.—- I am agent to Sir John Chelwode; I occupy a farm at Adbaston ; 1 went over the land in question by myself, and without having any knowledge of the valuation of others; 1 took a particular valuation of each field, and I took an average value; I took Ihe ayerage value at £ 3 per annum; 1 should take it at 30 years' purchase as a fair average value to sell as a farm ; the land would thus amount iu value to £ 1192. 10s exclusive of the angular pieces sevei ed by the canal ; aud 1 valued the permanent injury done to the estate, together with the nuisance, an- noyance, and discomfort of having a public canal thus brought through the estate and close to the house, at £ 1000 more, making the total estimate of the injury that will be sustained bv Sir. Bayley £ 2192.10s. I took into consideration the particular grievance as it regarded Sir. Bayley's feelings, and tbe perpetual injury that would be done to the estate; I did not include Ihe probable damage that may be done during the catling of the canal; but Ihe pilleiiiigs and robberies that will ensue, ns my experience tells me, along the line of the canal, I did consider when making my estimate. I include in the £ 1000 the perpetual injury by the severance of the land, and the perpetual injury to the general occupation of the estate, by the continual nuisance oflocks, embankments, & c. I do not include the damage that may be done in making the works; I include iu it the value of the timber aud crops ; 1 noticed tbe timber, and I should think it worth about £ 20. If 1 were the owner of this farm of 300 acres, aud occupied it myself, as Sir. Bayley does, I shoold consider it deteriorated in value £ 1000 by tbe making of this caual ; if I were to be the pur- chaser of it I should not think it worth so much by £ 1000 as if the canal were not there; if I were the owner of it, 1 would not fos £ 1000 that the canal ahould come through it. Cross- examined by Mr. Bather.— 1 should think the perpetual injury is to be estimated at £ 1000, includ- ing the pilferings, plundering, and robberies that would ensue. In the £ 1000, I include £ 500 fo destroying the beauty of the place, and for having the navigators and others continually about the farm ; I include in the other half the inconveniences that may be occasioned to tbe proprietor's pursuits in sporting over his land, by the severance that will take place. 1 did not bring my valuation of the land with me ; 1 left it at home ; 1 took an average ; 1 took each field separately at so much per acre, aiid then divided it; 1 took my average in an honest way ; I swear that I made a calculation ; I made a division to take the average ; 1 should not make my average by merely taking the number of fields as the divisor. [ The paper on which Sir. Jellicoe's valua- tion was made was here handed to the witness ] 1 cannot take the average from this paper, for these are not my figures; I cannot tell how 1 should take an average on these figures. Re- examined by Sir. Corbett.— I am Certain that that farm will be deteriorated in value £ 1000 by the canal.— Were I sent to purchase it, I should think it worth less by £ 1000 witli the canal through it than if the canal were not there. Sir. William Evans [ who had been foreman of the Grand Jury on the previous days] examined — I occupy a farm belonging to my brother, near New- port. I know the land in question ; I have looked over the farm; and 1 think the farm will be injured in its occupation to the value of at least £ 25 a year by the intended severance for the purposes of the canal. Mr. Robert Harvey Wyatt [ agent to Lord Anson, & c].- I am a land agent; 1 have made a stirvey of the lands in question, along which the canal is to pass, and looking at it as to the nature of the land, the situation, and all other matters that tend to give it a value, I estimate it as worth £ 3. 3s. per acre to rent. The quantity to be taken, as I was informed, differs a few perches from the quantity now stated. My estimate of the value of the land to be taken at 30 years' purchase, is £ 1261. lis. 6d. In making this valuation 1 examined the quality of each field, by going and returning along the line pointed out; I understood that it was titheable, and that the land- tax was redeemed. I estimated the permanent injury that would be occasioned by the severance, the trespass, & c. as well as what ought to be a com- pensation for the injury done to the residue of ( he estate, on a consideration of the following circum- stances :' namely, that about 41 acres would be severed from the rest, so that with it there could only be five points of communication, and that this* portion of the estate would be left as a mere stripe; that the land near the house would be narrowed; that there would be deep excavations in various parts of the line; that the boats, & c. would be exposed to view from the garden ; that the present beautiful views and landscape of the place would be intercepted and interrupted; that the canal would be brought near the house, with the bridges, lock, & c ; that the proposed line through Mr. Bayley's land Was a complete imposition upon him, as in the plan before Parliament it was for a great distance carried not through Sir. Bayley's land, but through that of Sir. Leeke, who had, in consequence, protected him- self by stipulations actually inserted in the bill, and whicli course Mr. Bayley also might have adopted if he had been aware that it was to pass through his estate in the line now about to be taken ; lhat there would be much trespass and plunder, as there is on the line of all canals; and that Sir. Bayley would thus lie driven either to alter the disposition of his buildings or the fences by which they were protected. I estimate the additional damage from all these cir cumstances at £ 1000. If 1 wanted to purchase a farm to occupy, I would not purchase this now the canal is to pass through it; or if I were forced to purchase it, I would not give so much for it by £ 1000 with the canal as I would for the same land if there were no canal there. Sly total estimate therefore of the injury that will be done to the estate by taking the land for the canal, and the further deterioration of the estate by so doing, is £ 2261. lis. 6il. It is impossible for me to estimate the probable damage to he done in the work of making the canal; that must be paid to Sir. Bayley afterwards by the canal proprietors ; the canai will expose the estate to plunder and trespass during the formation of it, and afterwards. As a matter of comparison between the line now intended to be cut through Sir. Bayley's estate and that marked out as going through his estate and laid before Parliament when the Act was procured, I would, as for myself, rather than £ 500 that the original line had been adhered to. Cross examined by Sir. Bather.— 1 should think Sir. Bayley would be very ill- advised to part with the small and narrow strips of land severed from his estate by tiie canal; for if he did tbey may be planted or built upon, or otherwise made unpleasant and annoying to him. In estimating the value of the land at £ 3. 3s. per acre, 1 did not take the present depreciated prices of produce as a criterion ; but I estimated the land upon a fair value, viewing all the circumstances of the case, and including also a con- sideration of the injury done to Sir. Bayley's feelings. I think a ton and a half of hay would be a fair average produce from the meadow lands in the line; but 1 do not think these lands would bring hay of the first- rate quality. Re- examined — In looking to this property and all the circumstances together, 1 declare, before God and this Jury, that in my opinion the estate will be injured to the amount of £ 1000 by the Canal being there, exclusive of the value of the land taken. This closed the case on the part of Sir. Bayley. Sir. BATHER then addressed the Court and Jury on behalf of the Proprietors of the Canal, and observed that the Company had offered Sir. Bayley £ 1401. 5s. as compensation for the value of the laud to be taken, and for the deterioration that would accrue to the estate from the Caual; aud that if Mr. Bayley should not suoceed iu obtaining a larger sum than this at the hands of the Jury, still, by the terms of the Act, the Proprietors of the Canal would have to pay one- half the expenses of the present enquiry ; while, on the other band, should the Jury award a larger sum to Sir. Bayley than that which he had mentioned, all the expenses of the enquiry must full on the Proprietors of the Canal. Sir. CORBETT addressed the Jury on behalf of Sir Bayiey. Sir BATHER replied : Alter which the CHAIRMAN ( the Hon. Thomas Kenyon) summed up the evidence, aud stated the bearings of the case to the Jury. The Jury requested that they might be permitted to retire to another room to consult upon their verdict, and after remaining in deliberation for some time, they returned their verdict, awarding compensation to Sir. Bayley as follows: — As the value of the land to be taken for the Canal £ 1067 10 0 As the injury to the land that will be left, and for tbe growing crops on the laud to be taken.. 700 0 0 CHESHIRE ASSIZES. £ 1767 10 0 The Proprietors of the Canal will, on this ver- dict, have to pay all the costs. Counsel for the Proprietors of the Canal, Sir. Bather and Mr. Whateley ; Attorney, Mr. Thomas Eyre Lee, Birmingham.— Counsel for Sir. Bayley, Sir. Corbett; Attorney, Sir. Wood, Wolverhamp- ton. Shrewsbury General Quarter Sessions. The Quarter Sessions for the Town and Liberties of Shrewsbury commenced on Friday last, before Robert Gray, Esq. Slavor, Joseph Loxdale, Esq; Deputy Recorder, Thomas Loxdale, Esq. Town Clerk, and several of the Aldermen of the Borough. The at- tendance of Gentlemen summoned on the Grand Jury was more numerous than upon almost any former occasion; and the Court was completely filled with spectators. The following Gentlemen were sworn of the Grand Jury :— Jonathan Perry, Esq. Foreman. John Eaton, Esq. Mr. George Grant Sir. Daniel Pritchard Sir. Edward Hayes Sir. J. Birch ( Upholsterer) Sir. Edward Matthews Mr. Edward Bull Mr. John Pyefinch Sir. Henry Slorley Mr. Joseph Shuker Mr. Francis Woodcock Sir. John Evans Mr. John Richards Sir. John Durnford Sir. John Amott Sir. John Birch ( painter) Sir. Thomas Hay Sir. David Jones Mr. William Matthews Sir. Richard Calcott Mr. William Atcherley Mr. Samuel Asterley. The LEARNED RECORDER, in his Charge to the Grand Jury, complimented them on the full and respectable attendance which he had the pleasure of witnessing on this occasion ; and observed, that it gave him the more gratification, inasmuch as the business to be brought before them would require much of their attention, and would be the more satisfactorily disposed of from their own intimate knowledge of the matters with which they had to deal. The questions which had been for some time agitated as to the foot- roads in and about the English Bridge would Come under their consideration; bills would, he understood) be preferred against several parties; arid the public would thus ascertain what roads they had a right to go, arid other parties would learn what exclusive rights they themselves possessed. One indictment would be for the large stack of bark that had been placed in a position projecting over Ihe public footway so that many wondered that it bad not already fallen across it; the second would be for the mud- hole, which had existed, he believed, all his life, but was now in an unfenced and dangerous state; the third was for the nuisances on the foot- paths on the south side of the bridge; and the fourth was fur the removal of the flight of steps that had for some years continued the footpath leading from St. Slary's Friars to the Bridge, and which steps were put up on the representation of the late Thomas Lloyd, Esq. during his Mayoralty, and with the Con- sent of Sir. Hazledine. In the event of true bills being found in these eases, it was satisfactory to know, that any of the parties might, if they deemed it expedient, remove their cause, so that it would be tried at Nisi Prius before a Judge of Assize.— The Learned Gentleman then adverted to the several cases in the Calendar, which, he was happy to ob serve, were so few, and which, with all other business, he had no doubt would receive the best attention at the hands of the Gentlemen that he had the pleasure of addressing. Ellen Jones pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing various articles of wearing apparel, the property of Benjamin Reynolds.— It appeared that this prisoner had been convicted at the Assizes before Sir. Baron Vaughan, and sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment; after which, she had gone round to the relatives of several of the prisoners iri the Gaol, and obtained money from them under various false pretences; and it was stated that the cap which she now had on at the bar had been stolen by her from the Matron of the Gaol (— Under these circumstances, there being no hope of any amendment in her conduct from the prison discipline, she was sentenced to be transported for 7 years. Samuel For, aged 29, was indicted for feloniously counselling, hiring, procuring, and commanding Randle Crewe to steal a silk handkerchief, the pro- perty of James Hitchin.— Sir. Bather stated the case : he said Randle Crewe is a boy twehe years old, the son of the prosecutor's wife by a former husband ; Sir. Hitchin, the prosecutor, is a pawnbroker, and the handkerchief had been pledged with him in the name of Thomas Davies: by some means the prisoner Fox had become possessed of the duplicate ticket given by Sir. Hitchin to Davies, and by promising tbe boy, Randle Crewe, that he would give him a dozen oranges and sixpence if he would steal the handkerchief for him, and bring it to him at night at a place appointed, the boy undertook so to do: he gave the boy the duplicate ticket in order that he might bring the right handkerchief, and the child having stolen the handkerchief from the box up stairs in which his parents had placed it, was heard by his mother coming down the stairs: she suspected something wrong, but before she could come to the boy, he had secreted the handkerchief under the shop counter ; she, however, on searching him, found the duplicate ticket in his pocket; and on being further interrogated, he confessed what had taken place: Sir. Hitchin, in consequence, laid a trap for Fox, by directing the boy to proceed in the matter as Fox had instructed him, taking care that Hayward, the police officer, should be at hand to apprehend Fox as soon as the crime had been completed.— Fox met the boy according to the appointment, in a pas- sage near Mr. Hitchin's house, and as soon as he had obtained the handkerchief Hayward made his appear- ance and apprehended him.— The case was fully and most clearly proved in evidence, and the prisoner being found guilty was sentenced fo be imprisoned in the House of Correction to hard labour for 12 months liobert Jones, aged 21, a chimney- sweeper, John Breeze, aged 45, a waterman, and YVilliam Johnson, aged 30, an innkeeper, were indicted for having, on the 17th day of April instant, feloniously stolen two bushels of malt, of the value of seventeen shillings, the property of Mrs. Slary Lloyd, widow.— The Grand Jury having found a true bill against all the prisoners, Jones and Breeze were placed at the bar to be arraigned ; Johnson, who had been admitted to bail, was then called, but was not forthcoming ; on which his sureties were called upon to produce him iu the usual form, on pain of forfeiting their recog- nizances. Sir. Bather, who was counsel for the prosecution, then moved the Court that the recognizances of the parties should be estreated : on which Sir. Loxdale, counsel for the parties, moved that the recognizances should be respited : he did this, on the affidavits of Ann Johnson, wife of William Johnson, and on the affidavit of Ambrose Jones and John Forester the sureties.— Mr. Bather commented with I is usual force on the affidavits, and resisted the delay requested. The Court being of opinion that, from the nature of the case, and the number and length of the depositions, it was one that could not be terminated conveniently that day if entered upon, it was ar- ranged that the Court should adjourn till Wednesday for the trial of this prosecution ; when, unless John- son is forthcoming, the recognizances will be estreated and the trial of Jones and Breeze proceeded upon forthwith. The Grand Jury returned four true bills severally against the parties indicted for taking away the flight of steps and otherwise obstructing the footpaths at the English Bridge, and for continuing nuisances ou and adjacent to the same footways. There being no other business for the Grand Jury, they were discharged with thanks; and the Court adjuurned to Wedueaday morning at ten o'clock. George Parkinson, Robert Huxley, Joseph Has- sail, John Jones, and Samuel Ilodgkinson, were indicted for being out armed in the night time in enclosed lands of Domville Halsted PoOle, Esq of Slarbury, with intent to destroy game. Jones and Hodgkinsou were not in custody; Hassall was ad- mitted king's evidence-, and Parkinson ( one of the Dornhall poachers who contrived to elude the grasp of justice until apprehended on this charge) pleaded guilty. The Attorney- General ( with whom Was Mr. J. Jervis) conducted the case for the prosecution; Sir. Dunn appeared for the defendant Hnxley. The facts are briefly these :— Oil Friday night, the 18th of December, all the prisoners left the lodging- house of Jemima France, at Whitchurch, about eleven o'clock They reachcd Sir. Poole's cover about three o'clock iu the morning. They had ail guns but Jones. Parkinson shot first, aud killed a pheasant, which was picked up by another of the party. Huxley then fired and missed. Joseph Thomas, the gamekeeper, and John Tatley, his assistant, came up on hearing the shots, and shunted out " hey, my lads, 1 have you," the keeper then let loose a dog which he had with him, but which, by Sir Poole's directions, was so muzzled that he could not bite, but only take hold of a man's clothes. The clog seized Hassall, and Parkinson tired and shot the dog. The keeper set the dog on again, and he succeeded in apprehending Parkinson ; the others made their escape, and were apprehended the next day, taken before H. Calveley Cotton, Esq. at Combermere Abbey, and committed for trial. Sir. Dunn addressed the jury for the defendant, and pronounced a severe philippic against the game laws. Sir. Downes, and Sir. William Griffith, two respectable neighbours, gave the prisoners an ex- cellent character. The Jury found a verdict of guilty. The Attorney- General said, he had the express directions of Mr. Poole, not to press for a severe punishment against Huxley. He was a young man very respectably connected, and this would proba- bly be the last time he would ever appear on any charge in this court. The Learned Judge in passing sentence informed the defendants that the offence to which one of theni had pleaded guilty, and of which the other had been convicted, w as one which by the 12th see. of an act passed on the 19th of July, in the 9th year of the reign of his present Slajesty, subjected any person convicted of being found out armed in the night time in an enclosed place, in company of three or more persons, with intent to destroy game, to be transported for 14 or 7 years, or to be imprisoned with hard labour for any period less than three years, at the discretion of the Court. As to the defendant Parkinson, although the Court was aware that the present was not his first offence, the sentence upon him would be a very lenient one, and Such as it was much to be hoped would be more satisfactory to the public, aud ultimately have a better effect upon the defendant himself, than if a more severe punishment were to be inflicted upon him. Under all the circumstances, the sentence of the Court was six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. As to the defendant Huxley it was lament- able to see a young man of his character and ap- pearance in such bad company, and engaged iu such pursuits as he was proved to have been oil the night in question; The sentence of the Court upon him, in consideration of his character and the humane interposition of the prosecutor iu his favour, w ould be the very lenient one of seren days' imprisonment, and the CoUrt regretted that the act of parliament was express on that point, and left the judge no discretion to dispense with the hard labour. £ fttgrcllancou0 EntcUigencc. A most awful casualty took place at Mount Erne, between Birr arid Banagher, last Tuesday night. Sir. William Woods,' a very estimable young man, was oh tile upper loft of his mill, stowing awav a parcel of oatmeal, when, dreadful to relate, a vivid ball of fire fell on the roof, and killed upon the spot himself and a man who stood alongside him. At the same instant the whole roof tumbled in with a loud crash, and carried down the greater part of the mill. The bodies were found under the ruins, and it is feared that five or six more have suffered by tbe same terrible catastrophe. The ball of fire was noticed flying through the clouds by several persons at a great distance, and descending on the mill.— Limerick Chronicle. LEGACY UNDER BONAPARTE'S WILL — Several of the bequests under Napoleon's will have given rise to law- suits in France, and the papers received on Tues- day have added another to the list. The public man who was first struck with the talents of the future emperor was Gasparin, deputy from the town of Orange to the National Convention, and who, accord ing to the usage of the time, was stationed with the ttrmy engaged in 1793 in the siege of Toulon. The general who commanded this army was Dugommier, a direct and straight- forward character, who, without possessing any great share of discrimination, became prepossessed in favour of Bonaparte, as well by his activity and resources as by the recommendation of Gasparin. Dugommier fell in the field long before it was in the power of Napoleon to reward him; but a short codicil affixed at St. Helena to the ex- emperor': will—" bequeathed to the son or grandson of General Dugommier the sum of four thousand pounds sterlin; as an acknowledgment of the friendship which that intrepid officer had shown to him." The money, it seems, has not yet been paid in Consequence of the undefined terms of the bequest, and of contending claims on the part of the heirs of the General, one of whose sons claimed the legacy, but is opposed by the widow of another son. The case was brought on in Paris on Friday, but adjourned for a w eek— a very usual course in civil suits in France. EVERY SIAN FOR HIMSELF.— A few clays ago, a traveller met on the top of Ben Lomond an old high- lander, who said he had been a guide from the north side of the mountain for forty years; « but that cl— d Walter Scott, that every body makes such a work about ( exclaimed he with vehemence), I wish 1 had him to ferry over Loch Lomond I should be afler sinking the boat if I drowned myself intu the bargain; for ever since he wrote his ' Lady of the Lake,' as they call it, every body goes to see that filthy hole Loch Catrine, then comes round by Luss, and I have had only two gentlemen to guide all this blessed season, which is now at an end. 1 shall never see the top of Ben Lomond again. The devil confound his ladies and his lakes, say I!" " THE SEA MUST GIVE UP ITS TREASURES."— So says a letter from West Barnstaple of the 12th inst.; and the writer adds:—" We yesterday had a fair trial with our machine, the submarine explorer, und it was completely successful. At the depth of 14 feet wc took up a box of stones three times, and other experiments gave complete satisfaction to a great number of spectators.— Boston. Courier. Within the last seven years, 1125 Acts of Parlia- ment have been wholly, and 444 partly repealed, making a total of 1569; of these, 1344 relate to the empire at large, and 225 solely to Ireland. The amount of duty paid last year on the appa- rently insignificant arti, le of tobacco amounted to nearly £ 2,859,000. Of this sum more than half was paid in Liverpool and London, from their being the chief ports for the arrival of vessels from Virginia. Next to these in amount of importation arc Bristol and Dublin. Of the three kingdoms the respective proportions of duty are— England, £ 1,973,000; Ire- land, £ 613,000; Scotland, £ 273,000. GUY'S SCHOOL QUESTION BOOK.— On the first publication of this, now popular COMPENDIUM of GENERAL HISTORY, v^ e pointed out to our school friends some of its admirable qualities, and we then predicted its great success; the extensive demand for it has even gone beyond our expectations. It is already, we understand, a class book in nearly all the intelligent schools of the empire, and certainly a work embracing so many useful subjects . within such a moderate compass was never before offered to teachers. Tbe leading features of the book, viz. Ancient and Modern History, aud Biography, have never before been given so complete, for in'it will be found tbe prominent particularsof TEN ANCIENT and EIGHTEEN MODERN KINGDOMS aud STATES ; aud connected with this division of the work, are interesting details of both Ancient and Modern ' Biography, elucidating characters, witli which well educated youth should be familiar.— The whole may he clearly apprehended, and indelibly fixed iu the mind; and this hitherto much neglected branch of education may, with little encroachment on the student's time, be, in future, incorporated with the established course of academic instruction. The establishment of Bank of England branch banks is understood to have caused a loss to the ^ bank proprietors of £& 0,000.— Leeds Intelligencer. 1 An arrival from Terceira has at length put tbe public in possession of the deveiopeinent of Don Pedro's last plan, on behalf of what he calls his daughter's rights to the throne of Portugal. This is contained in a kind of Manifesto, followed by the appointment of a Regency, composed of three per* sons. The document is dated Rio de Janeiro, June 15, and its purport and trndency were well known in England before the Ex- Marquis de Pahnella took it Out to Terccira. Don Pedro issues his commission, in the character of guardian and natural protector of his daughter, and it is curious to sec that whilst he inculcates that she derives her rights from his own act of abdication, Lord Palmerston and other learned persons on the subject have been contending that she inherited them, being born in a territory belonging to Portugal previous to the declaration of Brazilian Independence. THE SIARQUIS OF HERTFORD.— The London Papers have, recently given circulation to a vague account of large property " likely to come" into the possession of the Marquis of Hertfoid. They pro- bably allude to a large accession of fortune which the Marquis has derived under the will of the late Sir. Colmore, a wealthy merchant of Birmingham. In 1794, Sir. C. by a codicil to his will, devised his property to the late Marquis of Hertford, and his soil Lord Yarmouth ( now Lord Hertford), if either of them should be living at the death of his three children without issue. Two of these children died several years ago ; Caroline, a maiden lady about 6t years of age, is still living, we believe, in the neigh- bourhood nf Cheltenham. The estate being left to the Marquis of Hertford, subject to the contingency of Miss Caroline Colmore marrying and leaving a husband, in 1826 he came to an agreement with the lady, and a partition of the property was effected. By this arrangement, the Marquis came into the immediate possession of property valued at from1 £ 200,000 to £ 300,000. To the other half of the estate, Sliss Colmore now possesses a sole and Un- disputable title.— Learning/ on Paper. GLOUCESTER ASSIZES.— Post- Office Prosecution; — Thomas Gibbons was indicted for feloniously ob- taining, at the Post- office at Painswick, on tbe 24th September last, a letter directed to Jas. Woolley, con- taining half a sovereign.— Sir. Taunton, Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, and Sir. Shepherd; conducted the prosecu- tion. It appeared that tbe prisoner was a patient in the Gloucester Infirmary, in September, and was re- quested by Woolley; who was also a patient there, to write a letter for him to his mother in London, in which he stated he should be obliged to send to her shortly for money to take him to town. The prisoner after that left the Infirmary without being discharged, and wrote another letter to the mother, in the name of Woolley, without his knowledge, requesting her to send half a sovereign directed to him at the Post- office, Painswick. This was accordingly done, and the prisoner called for the letter on tbe 24th Sept. and received the monfcy. The prisoner, in his de- fence, said the Postmistress at Painswick was unable to identify him when he was taken before the Slagis- tratesj but on being called up again,- she said she always stated she believed him to be the man who received the letter.— The Jury found him Guilty, Mr. Baron Bolland said, it was necessary, for the protection of the public, lhat frauds upon the Post- Office should be punished with severity, and sentenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years. On Saturday se'nnight, William Turner, \ Villia~ i Reader, and Darid Howard, convicted at Cain- bridge Assizes— the two former of setting fire to the farm- yard of Sir. Chalk, of Linton, and the latter to that of Mr. Hatch, of Badlingham— underwent the sentence of the law at Cambridge Castle. For the last ten years, this crime has been of continual oc- currence in the county, and no clue has ever been gained of the perpetrators. The greater part of one village ( Exiling) has been at different times nearly burnt down, and many other villages have suffered severely, so that this terrible example was more than called for, to warn the undiscovered miscreants of the doom awarded by the offended laws of their country. " IT'S AN ILL WIN' THAT BLAWS NAEBODY GUDE."— A well- known economical old gentleman, while listening to a couple of musicians scraping cat- ut on Saturday afternoon, within a crowd in Nelson- street, was seen deliberately picking up and handing them three shillings, which fell in succession at his feet, and was afterwards extremely mortified to firrd the charity had been extended through a hole in his own pocket.-— Glasgow Free Press. SHOCKING STEAM- BOAT DISASTER— The Amr. rican papers contain an account of a dreadful loss of life by the explosion of the boilers of the steam- boat Helm M'Gregor, at Memphis, on the Slississippi, on her way from New Orleans to Louisville. The Men- phis Adrocate, of the 26th of February, contains the names of eighteen persons who were ascertained to have been killed by the explosion; but it is added, that the number of those who were instantly killed or were likely to die of their wounds could not be much short of sixty, There were supposed to have been on board not less than 350 deck and 130 cabin passengers; but not one of the latter class was cither killed or wounded by the dreadful accident. SI. Recamicr, the celebrated banker, died on Slon- day last. It may be recollected that during the first years of the reign of Napoleon he ranked among the first bankers of this capital, and that Sladamc Recamier, his wife, made then a journey to London, where, by her beauty, elegance, and the splendour and costliness of her dress and ornaments, she attracted extraordinary notice. SI. Recamier had experienced during his long career many cruel vicissitudes. Hi* first failure as a banker was occasioned by his being induced ( rattier forcibly) to lend a large sum of money to Nupoleon. M. Recamier had retired from business many years before his death. His conversa- tion was very pleasing and instructive, and lie was esteemed by all who knew h'm.— Puris Advertiser. THE VOLCANO KLOOTCHEFSKY.— At, the back of the village ( Klulchee) rises the volcano Kloot- chefsky, rearing his flaming head a considerable dis- tance above the clouds. This huge mountain, tower- ing to the skies, is a perfect cone, decreasing gradually from its enormous base. to the summit. Klootchefsky may, perhaps, be inferior to Slouut Etna in size, but it certainly surpasses it in beauty. The summit is eternally covered witii snow, and from the crater issues a volume of flame and smoke, that streaks the sky for many miles. Sometimes quantities of fine ashes are thrown out, which fall almost imperceptibly, and impregnate the atmosphere, so as to be inhaled in breathing. The inhabitants informed inc that they afltfet, the lungs, anil produce a tickling cough and a swelling of the glands, similar to that occasioned by a suppression of perspiration. When a pure flame issues from the crater of KlootchefsUy, it is seen at theTigil and Alcnters coast, at the distance of 300 worsts. 1 thought the valley of Sherroiii very beau- tiful ; but the sublime is so happily blended with the beautiful that 1 gave the preference lo Klutchee, and nothing can exceed the grandeur and majesty of Klootchefsky. The inhabitants also informed me that this volcano had once thrown out a whitish clammy substance, like honey, which stuck to the fingers, and was perfectly sweet tothe taste, but disappeared about noon- day, when the sun shone out bright and warm. From their description of this phenomenon I am rather inclined to think it must have been what is called the honey dew, which has fallen in other part, of the world, particularly in the Carolinas and South America. It is greatly to be regretted that this sub- lime object is situated in such a remote corner of the world. There are warm mineral springs on the river Klutchee.— DobelUs Travels in Kamptchatha aud Siberia.
