The abuve Preparations, when Genuine will have the Name and Ad. lress of " BCTLRR, Cbemisl On Monday, between twelve and one o'clock, ittid inhabitants of Smithfield, Bartholomew Close, and their vicinity, were thrown into a state of alarm, in consequence of a fire breaking out, w hich threatened destruction to the neighbourhood, and which, we regret to state, lias been destructive of a vast deal of valuable property. The flames, were rirst observed in a Cellar, under a Calvinist's Chapel, in a court in Little Bartholomew Close, belonging to Messrs, Hooper and Peto, tlie builders. Tbc Chapel lielong. to the Re?. Mr. Lukin, and would contain about 509 people. The cellar was used for storing veneers and olher light woods. Adjoining tbis- Chapel was a well. filled timber- yard, belonging to Alessrs. Hooper ami Peto. One side of the building was situate close to fhe Cliurch of St. Bartholomew the Great, a vrrv ancient structure, which escaped the fire of London, and is supposed to be nearly 900 years old. The approaches to the chapel being very narrow, it was with difficulty that engines could be brought so near fhe spot as to be able to play with effect, and above an hour clapscil before any wafer could lie obtained, except a small quantity, which was Supplied by thrt inhabitants to St. Sepulchre's engine wilh buckets. The flames, therefore, increased with an amazing- rapidity, anil in a short time the Chapel ivas in it general blaze. Adjoining was the Protestant Dis- senters' School The building erected over the south aisle of the Church of St. Bartholomew the Great next caught fire, and it was feared that Ihe church must fall a prey to the flames. The firemen of the Globe, the Norwich Union, the Sun, the Atlas, and other engines, as soon as thev Obtained water, directed their exertions to save the church. Tltey were assisted by the inhabitants in bringing their engine, close to the church door which leads into Smilhfield, and they were able to carry the hose of these engines through the church to the north and east sides, and thereby saved the edifice. The church, however, did not escape serious injury, and at one moment it. was expected the roof would have been destroyed. The northern part of the building, which formed part of the old Priory of St. Bartholomew, was occu- pied by Hooper and Pcto, and although the great quantities of very fine mahogany veneers were saved, yet much valuable property must have been de- stroyed in the building, as well as in the yard adjoin- ing. The Kames rushed from the Dissenters' school, through the north windows of the church, and set the curtains on fire. At this moment the firemen played wilh great skill and promptitude upon that part ofthe flames which had communicated with the north side of the Church, and luckily the injury extended Only to the destruction of the Vestry, the north windows and frames, and the curtains of the north windows. While the firemen were engaged as above described, other firemen had placed Ihe engines some in ( he narrow part, and others in the wide part Of Bartholomew Close, and had they obtained a supply of water at first, they would have preven'ed the fire extending beyond the Chapel and the timb r- yard. The Cily officers, and a number of Policemeo ra ne, to the assistance of the inhabitants. The coosterna- tioti of the housekeepers whose dwellings were con- tiguous to the Chapel was so great, that all were busily employed in removing their property to soma place of security. The premises of . Mr. Burgh, the silk. fringe and tassel manufacturer, which were about eighty feet in length and fifty in breadth, next caught fire. A vast, quantity of the valuable stock was rarried out of the building before the flames reached it, but notwithstanding all the exertions that were used, a good deal of machinery and silk was destroyed. The houses in the neighbourhood were filled with boaspholil furniture .' rod property nf every descrip- tion, which had been saved from the flames. Before Ihree o'clock the whole of Mr. Burgh's manu- factory was blazing from south to north, and the roof fell in with a dreadful crash. The premises occupied by Messrs. E. and J. Davis, cabinet- makers, next caught, fire, and the whole of the upper part was completely destroyed. The house adjoining Mr. Burgh's occupied by one of the Mr. Davis's, w.„ destroyed, and other premises at the other end of Mr. Burgh's manufactory. The house of a person named Johnson, situate close to the chapel, was destroyed and several other small buildings, inhabited hy poor persons, were wholly destroyed. When the front. • if the chapel fell, three firemen belonging to Ihe Hand in Hand office, had a very narrow escape with their lives. ' Flic fire at one. period covered nearly an acre of ground, and, had the accident occurred in the night time, it is impossible to conceive the extent of loss of life and property that would inevitably have taken place. As it is, we fear the loss will be immense. One man was carried on a shutter to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, who1 had received some injury while assisting . at the lire, and that wa » the only casualty heard of. The fire is supposed to have originated in the cellar under the chapel, in consequence, of one of Mr. Petri's men, who had heen sent f ir some veneer, having left a candle burning while lie went to dinner. None of the books or furniture belonging to the chapel were saved, but the building and i< s fittings up were insured in the Imperial Office. Mr. Burgh and his family were at Orpington, in Kent, when the fire occurred, and a message was instantly conveyed to I hem, informing them of the dreadful calamity. Mr. Burgh's property, we understand, is insured in three Fire Offices. Some stables, belonging to . Mr. Wheeler al the hack, were slightly injured. Great complaint was made by the inhabitants of the houses in the immediate vicinity of the great want of water. The chapel was one entire body of flame before the parish- engine, which was the first on the spot, could obtain a supply, and then it was discovered that this engine was so completely out of repair, that it could not be brought into motion, and it was draw n of}'.

J EBB, The Attorney- General moved to file a criminal information against the defendant, Captain Jebb, for Ihe publication of anonymous letters reflecting on the Conduct of Colonel Hanmer. This was a similar application to that made a few days - iiioc against tl'ie same gentleman by Sir Robert Hill. The Attorney- General moved on the affidavits of Sir Herbert Tay- lor, Sir Henry Hardinge, and other persons of dis- tinction. The affidavit of the gallant colonel denied the charges made against him. The Court granted a rule to show cause. TRANSPARENT WATCH — A watch has. hern pre- sented to the Academy of Sciences at Paris, con- structed of very peculiar materi . ls, the parts being formed of rock crystal. It was made by M. Rebel- lier, and is small in size. The internal works are all visible; fhe two teethed wheels, which carry the hands, are rock crystal; the other wheels are of metal, to prevent accidents from the breaking of the spring. All the screws are fixed in crystals/ and .-, 11 Ihe axles turn in rubies. The escapement is of phire, the balance wheel of rock crystal, and ft. spring of gold. The regularity of this watch as a time- keeper, is attributed by the maker to the feeble expansion of the rock crystal in the balance- wheel & c. The execution of the whole shows to wh it 1 state of perfection the art of cutting precious stone, has been carried in modern times.

I Tt is said that every thing- is definitively arranged for Prince Leopold to enter upon his Sovereignty, the three great powers having guaranteed to his Royal Highness the stun for whith he stipulated — namely, two millions and a half— to enable him to enter upon his government as King of Greece. Mil. O'CoNNEi. i. The honourable and learned ' gentleman, in a letter ascribed to him, and published in the Irish Papers, says—" Rely on it, that tbey [ the Government] must, make up an Act of Parliament • gainst tnf, by name, or they shall not prevent me from reconciling Irishmen to each other, and com bining the great majority, if not all of them, for the utility of our common but oppressed country." Bravo ! Daniel. The proceedings in both t louses of the Legislature rime they re- assembled have been curious. In tbe House uf Lords, on Tuesday, the Earl of Mount- vashel's speech, in moving for a Commission of lintjtiiKy to ascertain if any and what abuses exist in the Church Establishment in England and Ireland, was listened to by one of the largest Houses assembled this Sfcssion ; and a very interesting and animated debate was expected; but after having occupied nearly two hours and a half in delivering a speech of singular moderation, when contrasted with his Lortl ship's Writings, there was not a noble Lord, lay or ecclesiastical, who deigned to say a word in reply; and upon tbe motion being put by the Lord Chan cellar, it was hegatiVed without a division. In the lower House, in a Commit tie of Supply ( 2t> 2 num- bers bring present) one branch of the Miscellaneous Estimates was carried only by a majority of 1 ii; and £' 100,000 propose d as a t'urlhi r grant for the repairs of Windsor Castle, was postponed, the sense of the House being evidently against it, and the Chancellor hot defetning it prudent to go lo a division. Air. flroughafii remarked, that " neither the Right Hon. Gentleman, nor the whole power of the Govern- ment, could any more have succeeded in carrying this vote on tbe present necasinn, than they would have succeeded in Carrying a vbte for i 10,000,( 500 sterling"!! NATIONAL DKBT.— IU the House of Lords, on Thursday night, Viscount Goilcrich gave a long and clear exposition of the state of what is called the national debt, and of the progress and prospects of its reduction. There was one view of the subject presented by the noble lord which appears to be new, and which is beyond doubt equally ingenious and satisfactory ; ffe The debt, says Lord Goderich, is riol redeemable at the pleasure of the lender, though it is payable at the will of the borrower. It is, therefore, to be regarded as merely an annuity, with relation to the burthen of which, the amount of nominal capital debt is a matter worthy of no regard. In considering the amount of burthen reduced, there- fore, we are to look no farther than the diminution of the interest or annuity that has been effected. In this view, the Noble Viscount, calculating tbe reduc- tion of annuity by measures Carried into effect or in progress at .-£ 4,8( 10,000, leaves us to infer that we have got rid of burthen since the war equivalent to £ 160,000,000, each million of capital debt paying 3 per cent.;— or about one- sixth of the whole amount owing in 1815. HOUSE OF COMMONS—' THURSDAV. IRISH ADMIKAI. TY COURT. The CHANCVII. OR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for the House taking into its con- sideration the message from the throne relating to the administration of justice in the Admiralty of Ireland, and the conduct of the Judge, Sir Jonah Harrington. The House went into Committee, when Lord F. L COWER moved a series of resolutions respecting the conduct of Sir Jonah, to the effect that he had been guilty of serious malversation, as Judge of that court, and that it was unfit he should con- tinue to hold the office. After some conversation, the resolutions were agreed to. USURY LAWS. On the motion for going into a Committee on the Usury Laws, the House divided, when there appeared for the motion 41, against it 23. The House then resolved itself into Committee, and the clauses having been gone through, the House resumed, and the report was ordered to be taken into further consider- ation on Monday. $ 1* 0 £ HaJcTtpa Jftraltfj.

He has so happily condensed and so beautifully illustrated them by large pictorial representations and panoramic views of the cities, buildings, of the Ancient World, that each subject treated of is clear and impressive. He traces the origin of Society and the state of the Arts from the earliest peiiod, and delivers himself ( without reference to manuscript or printed documents) with the peculiar readiness and fluency of a man thoroughly acquainted with his subject in all its bearings ; and every enlightened mind must be struck with the commendable anxiety he evinces to strengthen and confirm the faith of his hearers in the Divine Authority of the Holy Scrip- tures, by shewing the perfect conformity between the various usages and customs mentioned by the sacred writers, with many of the same countries noticed by ancient and modern travellers, and by particularly directing their attention to those insurmountable testimonies of the exact fulfilment of. prophecies which are to oe met with in the earliest historians; aud among the still surviving remains of ahcient grandeur.

It will be seen by our Parliamentary report ( see 4th page) that the Beer Bill was read a second time in the House of Commons on Tuesday night. It would appear that Ministers are determined 1wt to admit the restriction into the bill which has been the object of many petitions, viz. to prevent the beer from being consumed on the premises where it is sold, unless the dealers are provided with a license under Mr. Estcourt1s Act. The statement of a change of opinion on this point, which an Evening Paper put forth as from authority, proves therefore to be altogether unfounded. The bill may, however, yet undergo some alterations in the Committee, but it is not thought that Government will consent to any material alteration in its present enactments , : THE IRON TRADE.— The Ironmasters PF Stafford- shire have issued a circular, dated 30< h ult.^ which; rims thus We beg to inform you* that our prices of iron for the month of May,- will be ad- vanced 10s. per toil on our last quotations."

[ FROM THE GI.

The following is this day's bulletin. It is not calculated to remove the opinion which wc were compelled to form from the private information which had reached us :— Windsor Castle, May 10.

The Medical Gentlemen remained at the Palace during the day* and it was arranged that they should sleep there to- night. In the House of Lords this evening, the Archbishop of Canterbury introduced a Bill to permit and regu- late the Commutation of Tithes in England and Wales.— The House of Commons was occupied in discussing and voting a variety of Miscellaneous Intimates. LANDLORDS ASSESSED.— By a Bill before Parlia- ment it is intended to extend the law which enacts that the owners of houses let for a rent not ex- ceeding £ 20, nor less than £ 6 per annum, for any less term than a year, or on any agreement by which the rent shall be made payable at any shorter period than three months, shall be assessed to the poors' rates, instead of the occupiers. The Bill extends the enactment to houses let at any rent under £ 10 by the year, whether the rent shall be reserved monthly, half- yearly, or at any other period, or whether the letting be for a year, or any greater or less period. The Bill, however, excepts hofises, which, before the passing of the Act, will be let for three years or on a life or lives, until such lease shall expire. The language of this Bill is a precious specimen of the vague. After an absence of considerable duration from his native place, our Young Roscius, Master GROSSMITH, per. formed in the Town Hall on Thursday evening, to a very crowded and elegant audience, comprising most of the princi- pal families of the town and neighbourhood. It is evident that the period of the young Actor's absence has been most judi- ciously spent; partly, perhaps, in profitable exhibitions, but chiefly in still more profitable study; and his improvement, highly as we always thought of him, has been such as to ex- ceed our most sanguine expectations. That so mere a child should by his own single unassisted, efforts succeed iu amusing a large and cultivated audience, during the space of three hours, is in itself sufficiently surprising; but so effectually does he accomplish his object, that our wonder at the youth of the performer is almost lost in our admiration of the merit of his | erfonnance— The eutertainment of Thursday night con- sisted ( in part) of Tragic Recreations, Scenes from Hamlet, Macbeth, Pizarro, and Richard, the last of which, especially, elicited the most rapturous applause ; and Comic Songs given with great liveliness and humour; hut the principal novelty of the evening was a piece called The Seven Styes, written expressly to suit Master GROS. SMITH, by the author of Bluc. k- Eyed Svsan, that domestic and nautical drama of which all play- goers have heard and most have seen, and which so well deserves its pop- ularity, not merely for its unrivalled delineation of naval character, but for its playfulness and pathos, and the admirable touch by which it is distinguished. The present production will not diminish Mr. JF. RRoLD'S reputation. It consists of the characters described by Shakespeare in the well, k^ iown'TOeech of tile " melancholy Ja'ques," linked together by seven other personages almost as various as those indicated bv the philosopher of Ardenne; each of them full of clever and characteristic writing, and represented with extraordinary versatility and intelligence. The changes of dress, person, voice, uud manner are startingly rapid and complete: and the power evinced throughout is of the best and truest sort; not mimicry, but acting. We shall not soon forget the exquisite nonsense, which the old Nurse talks to the baby she is dandling, in a vein of gossipning dotage scarcely inferior to Mrs. DAVKNI PoRT; or that delightful bit of nature, the Schoolboy's Arith- metic, certainly ihe happiest stroke in The Seven Ayes, although the Swiss Girl's Song, with which this remarkable boy concluded the evening, looking so pretty, and putting into every toiie and gesture such cotpiettish simplicity, had nearly equal merit. It. was Miss LOVH sublimated. Let Master GROSSMITH continue to improve as he has hitherto done, and there can be little doubt, but instead of sinking into insignil ficance, as has been too often the case with precocious talent, he will hereafter command the same success, on a stage of larger dimensions, that attends him now on the tasteful and toy- like little Theatre, which is the scene of his present triumphs-- Readiny Mercury.

We were last week much gratified with a sight of the Patent Hot- Water Apparatus recently erected for the pur- pose of warming the Infirmary ; and au inspection of which must produce conviction of its full sutficiencj- to produce the required effects. The apparatus con- sists of a boiler fixed in the basement floor of the building, from which, by means of a pipe rising from its top, the ivater heated With'm it is conveyed to the highest level that it is desired to warm ; arrived at this point; the hot water again descends, traversing in its passage to the boiler certain cast- irou pedestals situated iri the several galleries whose temperature they arfc intended to raise, and which pedestals are called by the patentees " water stovesthese stoves are composed of concentric cylindrical vessels con- stantly full of hot water, between each of which is a space for the passage of the air of the building, which airj entering at tli3 lowest part of the stoves, receives as it rises between the cylinders the heat transmitted by the water they contain. The water being thus tooled by the abstraction of the heat imparted by it to the air, returns to the boiler to be again heatedj and by that means again to rise to the highest level. The motion thus produced is the consequence, of a well- known hydrostatical law, depending upon the different densities of the fluid in the different parts of this apparatus. The advantages of employing water as a medium of heat, arising from the well- established fact £ hat it does not deteriorate the atmosphere it warms, has been fully and extensively evinced by the healthful and vigorous state of plants in houses properly heated by this mode, and the same property, in our esti- mation, ( as we are certain it must in that of our readers,) renders this system peculiarly eligible iii an institution like the one we are speaking of, which has for its main object the health of its inmates: but exclusive of this all- important recommendation, the present affords conveniences incompatible with any other plan; since by it warm water is supplied oh every floor of the building, and may be drawn at an> y time during the day or night*,— the temperature also is maintained during the night, and thus night- damp, & c. are excluded, without nightly attendance to the fire;— there is neither smoke nor dust;— no danger, as with steam;— and the economy of fuel appears to us necessarily very considerable. It should be further observed, in recommendation of this plan, that during summer, when no heat is required, the water is prevented entering the sfoves, so that there is not any heat produced in th^ gal- leries; while at the same time the hot water fof the supply of the building is retained. ILENRY FITZJOHN EGS Leave to inform his Friends and the Public; that he has just received a Supply of excellent BROWN STOUT PORTEK, which he can with Confidence recommend to their Notice. N. B.

Seconds IMPORTANT TO CAHRIKUB.— The following facts may prove an useful caution to carriers It has been a general practice with the proprietors Of stage- waggons, travelling not more than three miles an hour, to carry passengers, chiefly poor Women and children, not a few of whom were conveyed gratis, or for a trifling consideration. It was only very lately that the proprietors of such vehicles were aware that by so doing they rendered themselves liable to the carriage aud horse duty ; but such is the fact. The district surveyor, acting upon instructions from the Board of Taxes, lately applied at the different waggon- warehouses in Leeds, and put tbe question, M Are you in the habit of taking passengers in your waggon ?" Messrs. Deacon, Harrison, and Co. and Mr. Cockerham at trace avowed the fact, unconscious of any contravention of the statute, and their can- dour cost them— u duty upon carriage with four wheels, ±' 5. 5s.; ditto on horses to the same, £ 8.

Of course they were not compelled to convict them- selves ; but honourablfe men will rathersuffer in their pockets than burthen their conscience wilh a false- hood, or an evasion tantamount to a false assertion. We notice Ihe transaction by way, as we have said, of putting the proprietors of waggons upon their guard, who will do well to remember, that by taking pas- sengers, however slowly they may travel, they subject themselves to wheel- carriage and horse duty ; anil to heavy penalties for neglecting to return such wag- j Barley ( per bushel) guns and bores in the usual manner upon the tax- i\ i"* l( j? e'J> busiiei) MARKET HERALD.

By " An Act to amend and enlarge the Powers and " Provisions of the several Acts relating to the 41 Ellesmere and Chester Canal Navigation," which received the Royal Assent on 21st June, 1827, the usual clause respecting Compositions for Tithes was expunged in the Committee of the House of Lords, and since that period the Canal Company have with- held the customary payments of Compositions for Tithes; although, at page 8, there is this clause— " And be it further enacted, that all conveyances, " contracts, agreements in writing, mortgages, " bunds, covenants, antl securities, made or entered " into before the passing of this Act," & c. & c. " shall " remain in full force," & c.- & c. The reason assigned for withholding the said pay- ments is from comparing Canals with Turnpike Roads; hut the circumstances are essentially differ- ent : in regard to Turnpike Roads,, the T rustees receive Tolls entirely for the service of the Public; but the Tolls received on Canals are on the private uccount of a Commercial Adventure. The concili- atory principle upon which an exclusive Trading Company applies to Parliament is always that of a compensation for injury done to private property; and although the omission of such a clause in a sub- sequent Act might not debar individuals from sup- porting their claims for damages, still, from their being small in detail, ( although large as to the whole demand on the Canal Company,) the properly of the Church and of other Tithe Owners is materially injured. It may therefore be hoped that Parliament, in granting fresh powers to the said Company, under an Act now in progress, will require them to renew their obligations for compensating Owners of Tithes as heretofore.

TEMPLE.— In that motion which I Was lo make to- day, it will be necessary, if il is not convenient to bear it now, tbe time for enrolling the decree should be enlarged, or rise it will expire before the motion can be made. THE SOLICITOR GENERAL.— I am on the other side iu that Case, and I have no objection lo that, but he must undertake to make it on Tuesday morning : in the menu time no advantage is to he taken from his Hot being able to make the motion. TUESDAY, MA Y 4. Mr. TBMPLB.— If your Lordship pleases, your Lord, ship gave me leave to make a motion this morning, at the sitting- of the Court, lo slop ihe enrolment of a decree. My Lord, in a case iu which Johnson aud .. others are Plaintiffs uud Telford and others are the Defendants, my motion is — The Lotto CHANCELLOR.— Johnson and Telford did you say? Mr. TKMPLB.-— Yes, my Lord. The Loui) CHANCELLOR — It is for an Injunction. Mr. TEMPLE. — It is for au order relative lo an appeal that the lime ( or the enrolment of the decree pronounced by his Honour the Master of the Rolls may be enlarged till the first day of next Trinity Term The Loan CHANCELLOR. — Who is on the other side ? Mr. TEMPLE— Mr Tieslove. Mr. TKKSLOVB.— The Solicitor General and myself oppose this motion. Mr TBMPLK.— And that it may be referred lo one ofthe Masters of this Court, to" enquire whether it will be fn und proper that an appeal should be pre- sented against the decree iu this case, bearing date the 2fjtU of February, 18: 30, Of that the defendants, Thomas. Telford and Joseph LoxdtHe, tuay be at liberty to present sneli an appeal.— This motion is founded on an affidavit, which Mates that a cause was instituted iu this Court in the year 1817, against Thomas Telford and Joseph Loxdale, who were Trustees under the Will of a Mr. Simpson, and lhat was for the administration of the estate In ihe course of that cause a receiver was appointed, who took possession of all the testator's estates, it being- at thai , iitiie supposed that all the estates he died possessed of bud passed under bis will, the trust of his will being to give to Mrs Johnson aud Mrs. Newton, vVliu were bis two daughters and heircsses- at- law, estates for life, to their separate uses, in equal uioielies, with remainders over to their children, who aie ihe infant plaintiffs in the suit.*— My Lord, in the course of that eause it was discovered that the testator was possessed of some estates in Scotland, and some considerable estates in England, that were purchased and con- veyed subsequent to the time when he made his will ; and a question arose, whether, under the will, the heiresses- at Jaw, being the devisees for life, would or would no he put to their election to give those estates to the u » cs of the will, or lo abjure the will alto- gether: and Lord Gilford, who was then Master of ihe Rolls, made an order, referring it to the. Master lu enquire what estates ( if any) ihe testator died |> o** essCd of which had been conveyed or purchased subsequent to the will, and did not pass by the will; lhat was in 1824. The Master made his ie. port ; b\ which il appeared lhat considerable estates iu Scot, land and England hail, been put chafed by the testator' subsequent to making his will, I'uoii that a petition was presented on the 7th July, 1825, lo Lord Gifford ( who was then Master of the Rolls.); for a directum on hi* part to decide the quest ion of elect ion. M y Lord tiiftWd thought it was too important a que> ii « « u to be decided upon petition, aud diiecled that a supple- bteulal bill should he Hied tin the pail of ihe infant ^ laiutrffs, again » l the tenants for life and against the trustees, to hu\ e that question properly and formally decided. My Lord, such cause was accordingly - Instituted, aud the infants, as they were opposed in interest to their parents, had a gentleman appointed as next friend to conduct their suit. My Lord, the report was made ou which the question arises. Ou the, 25th of February last ilint cause came ou for bearing, before the piesent Master of the Rolls ; and Upon thai occasion, my Lord, his Honour, after hearing the cause, was pleased to pronounce the decree, ! stating, that neither with regard to the English or the Scotch estates did any question of ell'diou arise. The afiiduvi'l states that the Counsel, the tw d Coihisel w ho were concerned for the infants on that, occasion, indorsed ou the back of their briefs, that they were dissatisfied with that decision, and that it would be proper to appeal from it on the part of the infants. The Counsel who was concerned lor'the trustees, and who had not taken any part in the argument, finding the ease bonajide Contested between the parents and the children mi the pari of the trustees, made a ftiiiiilar indorsement mi his brief, stating that it was his opinion il ought also to be appealed from. The Loan CHANCELLOR.— Whose decree was it? Mr. TEMPLB.- The Mastei of the Rolls. Inconsequence oF lhat, an application was made on the part of the trustee* to the next friend of the infants, to know U- It ether, under those circumstances, he would present an appeal; and. not being* able to get him to do so, they state they laid p case before Counsel, to advise them what they were to do, and the result of that ad vice is, that it will be the duty of Somebody, on the part of these infants, to institute un appeal. 1 appre- hend, being against the opinion of the Counsel con- cerned, it would be right for the next friend of the infants to institute that appeal; but if lie declines to do so' it would be the duty of the trustees, who were appointed to protect the estate,— it is their duty to niake some application to the Court for directions as to the infants' 1 interest.— My Lord, afler this petition was presented by the heiresses- at. law, to be put into possession, and to have the title- deeds of this estate which did not pass under the will delivered up : upon that occasion I contended, that, as Counsel before the Master of the Rolls, I stated ihe circumstance with regard to. the propriety of an appeal, and his Honour was pleased to order, that they should be let into pos- session bf the estate to Which, as tenants for life under the will, they were entitled ; but said he would, not make auy order for delivery up of the title- deeds till it was to be considered, from the conduct of the party,, that there was no bona tide intention of prosecuting* the appeal. Under . these circumstances, the trustees have applied again to the next friend of the ' miauls. Mr, TRESLOVB.— Have you au affidavit of the service of the notice of motion upou them? Mr. TEMPLE — Yes : and they appear by Mr. Pepys. Mr. PEPYS.— I appear for the next friend of the infants. Mr. TEMPLE.— Application was made to that gen- tleman, but he declined to prosecute the appeal. Uiider those circumstances, it has been thought right, on the part of these trustees, to bring this motion before your Lordship, either for a reference to the Master to enquire whether, under the circumstances I have staled, it is proper the appeal should he prose- cuted, these estates bei ng- of considerable annual value, or that your Lordship would give directions that the trustees should appeal if the next friend of the infants declines to do so. My Lord, with regard to the first part, it would- be most satisfactory lo the trustees, who have no feeling on this subject, excepting to do their duty, aud to lake care. of the infants* inteiest aud not Improperly to abandon it, it would be perfectly satis- factory to them if the Master reports one way or the other; but they feel, under these circumstances, us the next friend of the infants wilJ not, for reasons which may in his opinion justify him in the conduct he is'pursuing*, if he will not take the advice his Counsel has given him and appeal, they think it right that at all events the caseshould be brought under your Lordship's consideration. I am not aware that there U any printed case in which the Court has made a reference to enquire whether an appeal should be prosecuted. I say, my Lord, I am not aware that there is any reported case in which ihe Court has made a r. efereuce of this kind. In principle there appears to be no objection to it; but I understand, in a recent case of Pycroft and Gregory, a similar reference was made, and that in the great case of Angel and Angel — The LORD CHANCBI, LOR.— Pycroft and Gregory ? Mr. TEMPLE. — Yes, my Lord, in Pycroft and Gregory, I understand, such a reference was made ami acted upon. Mr. PBPYS.— In that ease, I think, there was a lunatic interested. Mr. TEMPLE — That was the case where a lunatic's , interest was concerned The Court referred it to the Master, the lunatic not being able to act for himself. Tbere. is no difference between your Lordship's power ' in the case of a lunacy and in the case ofan infant. It w'as also in the great case of Angel and Angel, in one or two instances, referred to the Master, to see whether a new trial should be applied for, but upon ^ principle there is no objection. Mr. TRESLOVE.— That was not a case on the part of the trustees. Mr. TEMPLE.— Mr. Treslove says that it is not a case on the part of the trustees. My Lord, these trustees would not have felt il necessary to apply to the Court, if lite next friend of the infants, who is the person that ought to protect iheir interest, would have prosecuted the appeal, or made an application UJ your Lordship for the purpose of knowing whether it was his duty to prosecute uu appeal. He bus declined- so to do The LOUD CHANCELLOR,— I suppose the next friend of the infauis is satisfied there is no good g- round of appeal. Mr. TEMPLE.— That nay be; but I hare to state to your Lordship, that the two Counsel at the Rolls have certified to him that it is a proper case to appeal. The LORD CHANCBLLOR.— 1 suppose that was imme- diately afler the decision ? Mr. TBMPL. B.— Yes, my Lord. The LORD CHANCBLLOR— That probably was from the warmtii of an adverse decision ? Mr. PfcpVs.— Il is described as being* uu indorse- ment oh the brief. The SOLICITOR GBNERAL.— I should like to see the indorsement. Mr. TEMPLE.— Your clients will produce it. I know very well that those gentlemen still remain of the same opinion they previously stated ; one of them stated it before the Master of the Rolls at the time when the last petition was on. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— YOU mean yourself? Mr. TEMPLE.— I mean the gentlemen concerned for the. infants. Dr. JOHNSON.— I mean to assert that Mr. Temple instructed Mr Phil pot to write lo Horton and Son, ihe Infants' Solicitors, to lay their briefs before Counsel for their signature, with a view to au appeal. Mr. PHiLPor.-^- That is not so. Mr. TEMPLE.— In this case I have nothing to do but, as Counsel for the Trustees, to slate that I was of opinion lhat it was a case proper for an appeal. The LORD CHANCELLOR — Was that indorsed im- mediately after the judgment. Mr. TEMPLE.— Yes : and Mr. Tinney and Mr. Bar- ber, who were Counsel for the infants, without any communication with me, made the same at. the moment. A case was afterwards laid before me stating all the circumstances, iti which I did give the advice that is stated iu this affidavit, that it via* right that the inter- ests of the infants should he protected ; and that, if the next friend of the infants should not institute an appeal, I thought it was the duty of the trustees to bring the case before the consideration of ihe Court, if vour Lordship thinks, under the circumstances, the next friend is right. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— Did you upon that occa- sion say., 1 still retain the opinion that this is a proper case for an appeal-? Dr: JOHNSON — Mr Temple was not in Court to hear the judgment pronounced. Mr. TEMPLE.— I was not in Court my Lord : but I had ihe short- hand writer's notes ( If the judgment bf his Honour the Master of the Rolls, and know what passed oil that occasion. 1 do not remember the pre- cise terms of the opinion I gave ; but I recommended the Trustees to make this application, because I humbly thought, as I stated to his Honour the Master of the Rolls, that it was a case of so much importance, and so much doubt, that it was quite right il should he put into a train for further discussion. The Trustees have iio hostile feeling against any of these parties if your Lordship should think that you are not called upou, for the protection of this infant's interest, to order any proceedings to take place. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— I have, no means of form- ing any opinion whether this is a proper case for an a j) peal Mr. TEMPLE.— Therefore it is I ask a reference to the Master. I have not the least desire to press it on the part of the Trustees ; they thought il would he a dereliction of their duty if ihey did not, bring the case under the consideration of the Court. They have no feeling against any party ; they have nothing further to do, having performed their duty, but to leave it to the Court to act as it thinks proper. Mr. PEPYS. — I appear for the next friend, though nothing has been stated against the conduct of the next friend, in fact nothing1 could be stated against his conduct; yet the motion is framed in rather a singular form; because it appears that the'earriage of the cause, if further prosecuted, may be taken out of the hands of the next friend. The motion is, lhat if an appeal is to be prosecuted, that the defendants ( Thomas Telford and Joseph Loxdale) may be at liberty to pre- sent such appeal. These two Gentlemen, who, iu any mode of putting it, could not prosecute the appeal, are the Trustees under the will they are, then fore, Trustees for the iufants aud for their parents, and Ihey ought to hold ail even hand between Ihe two. They are no, more proper parties to prosecute the suit against the infauis or for the infant* than they are to prosecute it for or against their parents Mr. Temple, who appeared as Counsel for them at the hearing, did that which Counsel for Trustees is bound to do, namely, where the infants are represented by the cestuiqui trusts to abstain from interfering at all. My client, who is the next friend of the children, certainly objected aud declined to prosecute this appeal tor this reason, because, under the best advice he was able to obtain there is no ground for appealing: he. had the opinion of the present Chancellor of Ireland, w hich was taken on this will with regard lo its propriety, iu which the question was distinctly put lo him, whether the circumstances were such that the parties should he put to their election? that opinion is, lhat there is nothing inconsistent iu their taking possession under this descended property which would at all affect their rights under Ihe will. The LORD CHANCBLLOR.— Who is the next friend ? Mr. PEPYS.— The Rev. William Leigh was appointed the next friend. The LORD CKAN^ BLLOR — Is he a relation ? Dr. JOHNSON.— He is a connexion but no relation, and a magistrate of the county of Stafford. Mr. PBPYS..— In the prosecution of that cause it ap- peared this question would arise between the parents aud the Children, the Solicitor very properly declined any longer lo act for, both, aud another Solicitor was appointed to represent ihe interests of the children. A separate bill was filed by the next friend ; that suit was properly conducted, and the question was most properly raised before the Master of the Rolls, and his Honour ihe Masler of the Rolls delivered a judg- ment iu exact conformity with the opinion of the Chancellor of Ireland. With those two great authori- ties on a question of election you are seeking to refer a question of this kind to the Master to determine us to whether or not it is a proper case for an appeal ; there is no collusion hinted at, there is no prima facie case made. out. Mr. TEMPLE.— I did not think it right lo go into that case; I might have stated that there are opinions of as great names in the. profession put the other way. I was not aware the Chancellor of Ireland had ever given an opinion upon it. Mr. PEPVS. — I stated tUat merely for the purpose of removing any idea that the next friend had not pro- perly executed his duty ; and that he had every pos- sible reason that any man could have for being satis- fied with the judgment of his Honour the Masler of the Rolls. The LORD CHANCELLOR — Previous lothe suit being instituted the opinion of Sir Anthony Hart was taken ? Mr. PEPYS — Not with a view to this suit ; but pre- vious to the supplemental bill being filed. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— The opinion of Sir An- thony Hart was taken which was adverse to the claim ofthe infants ; the suit proceeded ; judgment has been given adverse to lire claim of the infants. The next friend of the infants thinks there is no ground for ap- peal ? Mr. PBPYS— Yes, INy Lord. Mr. TKMPLB — He has not made any affidavit. The LOUD CHANCELLOR.— His legal advisers stated to him that there is no ground for appealing ; and there is no prima facie case stated to me to lead me to come to a different opinion. Mr. PBPYS. — I do not mean to say the next friend has taken auy opinion since the decision, hut it is an opinion antecedent to lhat decision of his Honour the Master of the Rolls. His duly is not to prosecute a hopeless case ; and with this opinion of Sir Anthony Hart's against him, and the opinion of the Master of Ihe Rolls, he considers it would be idle to go to further expense in litigating a question which he has reason to suppose is entirely hopeless; if there be any proper case made out for further enquiry my client is ready and willing to prosecute it. The LORD CHANCELLOR — I know nothing about it. Mr. PEPYS.— If my friend Mr. Temple should suc- ceed in shewing to your Lordship a case which would make an appeal proper— if your Lordship should be of opinion their interest required it to be further prose- cuted, lie would not withhold from his duty of repre- senting their interests. If your Lordship were to grant the order now asked, it would be an order re- flecting on the conduct of the next friend in the pro- ceedings which he has previously taken. If your Lordship is of opinion that it ought to be further pro seculed, all I can say is, the next friend is willing, faithfully and zealously, to prosecute it for the infants ; but, as at present advised, undoubtedly the next friend is of opinion it would be incurring au unneces- sary expense. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— Do you object as next friend ofthe infants to the reference to the Master? Mr. PEPYS.— Yes, my Lord, 1 think it would be au useless expense. Mr. THESLOVB.— I appear for the parents, who have succeeded at the bearing ofthe cause, and your Lord- ship should be aware, that notw ithstanding the opinion of Sir Anthony Hart and the other opinions adverse to Ihe claims of the infants, the parents were induced, in consequence of doubts being entertained by some re- spectable persons,— they were induced to permit- this case, that is, themselves to pay ihe expense of a suit being instituted by the iufants against them for the fair trial of this question, because your Lordship per- ceives there is no fund out of w hich the costs of the suit can be paid. The uext friend ( the Rev. Mr Leigh) instituted the suit in question against the Trustees. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— What was done with re- spect to the costs of that suit ? Mr. TRESLOVB — By our own consent—- by the con- sent of the parents— they permitted the costs lo come out of the Testator's personal estate. The Testator's personal estate has nothing lo do with this question The LORD CHANCELLOR.— I really don't see utiy round for this> application. Mr. TRESLOVE.— Iti? an important ease in point of precedent, because, will the Court permit when a suit is duly instituted b£ the next friend, and, when the next friend is satisfied with the decision, that a second person or total stranger having by accident only tbe legal estate in that which is devised Shall come aud say it shall be further litigated. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— There t3 nothing* sug*- gested to me as a ground for the application. Mr. TRESLOVE.— It is excessively vexatious; aiid the next friend has very properly acred. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— Nothing has been .. sug- gested as a ground to lead me to entertain any doubt w ith respect to the propriety of appealing. Mr. TRESLOVE.— Unless there is some reasonable ground stated to question the propriety of the deci- sion, why should it be referred to the Master? Who is to pay the expenses ? The LORD CHANCELLOR.— Who is to pay the ex- pense ? ( to Mr. Temple ) Mr. TRESLOVE.— 1 object to any further costs com- ing out of that personal estate. Mr. TEMPLE.— I will leave that entirely to the Court. I have not the least anxiety about the result ; it concerns an income of £ 70ti or £ 800 a- yeai*. If your Loidship calls on me to state the ground, 1 should say this is a case which, as far as the English estates are concerned— it is a decision directly iu the teeth of TheUuson aud Woodfoid. Mr. TRESLOVE.— That case was cited to his Honour the Master of the Rolls. It was very truly stated by " the Gentleman sitting under your Lordship ( Doctor Johnson), that Mr. Temple did not hear the judgment, which I did. Mr. TEMPLE — I beg your Lordship to understand, on the part of tbe trustees — The LORD CHANCELLOR — I think, unless I have some reason to believe Ihere is some collusion or improper conduct in the next friend's thinking there is no ground for Ihe appeal, it appears lo me that the Court should not interpose. Mr. TEMPLE.— The ground that appears to me to operate against this next friend is simply this, that if he had staled, iu answer to the application of the trustees, that they had b- en advised by auy gentleman at ihe bar lhat that decree could be supported in point bf law, this application never would have been made. The LORD CHANCELLOR — Why was he to put him- self to that expense, if he was satisfied with the previous opinion lhat had been taken, which corre- sponded with the judgment of the Muster of the Rolls ? Why was he again to lay the case before Counsel ? Mr. TKMPLB.— That was long before any question was raised as to this point ; and whether the point was properly raised in that case I cannot say . The LORD CHANCELLOR.— I must leave it to the judgment ofthe next Irieiid. Mr. TEMPLE --- It is neither my wish nor the wish of tl. e trustees lo do anv thing hostile to any of these parties, it was only thai we thought it was our duty, knowing lhat that was a decision against the main body of opinions taken, aud knowing it was against the general impression ( I may say) of Ihe Bar at the time the decision was delivered, it was the duty ofthe trustees to bring the case betore the Court. If your Lordship is satisfied we are satisfied, because we shall have dune our duty : I do not wish lo press it. M r. TRESLOVB.--- NO injustice can possibly be done,, because the infants, when they attain twenty- one, may prosecute the appeal. The LORD CHANCELLOR.-- The title- deeds may then have been handed over to some other person, and the estate parted with, aud a variety of things. may., have taken place. 5 Mr. TRBSLOVK If your Lordship is satisfied such a proceeding as this on the part of these two individu- als cannot be justified— ' I he LORD C HANCELLOR.—- I have staled my opinion. Mr. TRESLOVB— 1 hope your Lordship will make them pay the costs. Mr. TEMPLE.---! hope your Lbrdship will not. Mr. PHPYS..-- The next friend must have his costs. Mr. TEMPLE.—- For having brought before the Court a case in which the next friend lefused to act, according to the opinion of the two Counsel whom he employed to argue ihe case with regard lo uu estate involving the interests of the iulunis to this large amount. The LORD CHANCELLOR - - The next fiiend is satis- fied with acting on ins own counsel. Who is to pay the costs ? Mr. TEMPI E — It must come out of the fund. Mr. TRR?> LOVE.--- They know there is no fund. Mr. TKMPLR— - 1 beg your pardon — Mr. TRKSLOVB.--- What fund is there ? Mr. TEMPI. K --- There is the produce of those very estates and of lauded estates to the amount of many hundreds a year, and there is a very large personal estate also under the administration of the Court in this very cause, Mr. TKKSLOVB.-- We are the tenants for life, are we to lake our life- interests to pay theii- cOsts ? Mr. TRESLOVE.—- It must not be taken out of tli. e. corpus of the estate. The bill is in tact dismissed, the suit that was instituted failed. We had no objection to treat il as a question necessary to be.-'. decided by the Court, and that therefore the co » - is should come out of the geneial personal e- tale ; but we cannot do that again, the cause has been fairly tried und decided, and these . trustees are determined to push it to the utmost extremity. The LORD CHANCELLOR.— I think they must pay the costs. Mr. TEMPLE My fiiend is wrong in saving there is no fund out of which the costs of this suit can be paid; it was a suit instituted by the direction uf the Court itself. Mr. TRKSLOVB --- 1 beg your pardon Mr. TEMPLE 1 am stating it from the affidavit, which is not contradicted. With regard to having the costs out of ihe general personal estate, it: would ii: « ve beeu charged, as a matter of course, on the real estate; hut sooner than have it paid by sale of any part of this real estate, it was directed ( by consent) that it should be paid out ofthe personal estaie. Mr. TRESLOVE --- Did you ever hear of a sale of reai estates to pay the costs ol a dismissed bill ? The LORD CHANCELLOR— There is no ground w hatever for this application. Mr. TEMPI, E.--- Does your Lordship think they ought to pay ihe costs w hen they make a bona f ile application m order to protect not their own interest" bul the interest of the infants to the amount I have staled, upon au application to the Court, in o> der merely to inform the Court of circumstances v< hio} j tijie' Cou'^ as the guaidiati of the infants, ought to he satisfied about ? If. trustees, under these cire^ m stances, are to be visited with costs, it w- ould, l> apprehend, establish a very strange and very harsh- mode of proceeding against them, and make the office of trustee still more unlikely lo be well performed M r. TRESLOVB.—' This is no execution of a trust: I do not know what my friend means by saying- it is a trust. The LORD CHANCELLOR—( To Mr Temple.) Your clients must pay the costs. Dr. JOHNSON.--- It is an excellent decision, and will be of serv ice to them* VALET AND BUTLER. A NT ED, by a Single Gentleman, as • V VAI. F. T aiid BUTl.

BEER TRAOF. Mr. CALCRAFT, in rising to move the second leading of the bill for throwing open the trade in beer, said he had hoped that the motion would be suffered to pass without any opposition in that stage of the proceedings, und that the objections which hon. members might entertain towards the measure would be ' reserved till llie question was put for going into the committee. But as he under, stood that the hon. member for Dorset ( Mr. Fort man) intended to give Ihe bill his strenuous oppo. sition in its present stale, he ( Mr. Calcraft) hoped he might be permitted lo say a " few words in sup- port of the question. He was the more anxious lo do so after Ihe various representations which had been made 011 the subject by Ihe magistrates and other functionaries as well as by publicans, whose interests were presumed to be involved in the measure. The object of the bill was to promote the sale of beer, by what might be termed a modified free trade— that was, by giving permission to take out a licence for the purpose 011 paying the sum of two guineas to the Excise. He ( Mr. Cal- craft) was not now called upon to say whether any testimonials as to character and conduct would be required of the persons to whom such permission should be granted, for that would be a matter of regulation in the committee. The publicans founded their objections to tbe bill principally upon two main points. In the first place, they objected to it on the ground of its interfering with their business by holding out encouragement to competition. He was ready to admit that so far as this simple objection went, nothing could be more fair or candid. But when Ihe publicans and their advocates went a step further, aud talked as lie had heard one of Ihe hon. members for the City of 1- ondon talk, about pn interference with vested rights, then he ( Mr. C.) must say that ( be parties injured their own cause, it could not for a moment be argued that the publicans, in the trade they carried on, had any thing which bore so much even as the colour of vested rights, it was well known that day after day they made a great clamour about licences, but it was equally well known that they must depend for those licences on the pleasure of the magistrates, it was very true that many millions of money were embarked in the trade, and when no less than 60,000 persons were engaged in it, the amount of capital might naturally be pre- sumed to be considerable. In all this, however, there was nothing which bore the semblance of vested rights. Allowing, as he did, that Ihe ques- tion ought to be treated with due consideration, he still thought that it ought not to be suffered to prevail over the great interests of the people at large. The main object which the advocates of the bill had in view was, to introduce a better and more wholesome beverage into the country. It was an ascertained fact that no fewer than from f. 00 to 600 informations were laid yearly by the Excise against publicans for selling adulterated liquors, ' ill justice to the respectable gentlemen who were engaged in Ihe beer trade iu London, he must say that the beverage they supplied was pure and wholesome, but the publicans mixed up Willi it all sorts of deleterious ingredients, im- mediately after it came into their possession, and the consequence was that its quality was lowered 25 per cent. Contradistinguished, however, from the respectable brewers were a set of persons who sold a sort of beer which they could not possibly dispose of unless they had particular houses of; their own. The next objection inaiU; to the bill was iis alleged tendency to increase tippling houses throughout the country, and as a remedy for that the parties proposed that persons selling beer should not be allowed to have it consumed on the premises. Now as to the increase of tippling houses, the existing penalties against such places w ere so very strong, lhat it was not very likely tbe evil would be much augmented ; but if individuals were found offending against the law, and Ihe mis- conduct was not abated, the magistrates had tbe power to put down the houses altogether, if the business should be overdone, the evil would very- soon correct itself, for few would give two guineas for a licence which was only to permit them to carry 011 a losing trade. The houses were by this bill left entirely under the control of Ihe magistrates as before, without any interference whatever to check the existing authority. By the present measure, the old publicans would always be sure to have an advantage over new competitors, if they sold beer of" a good quality. There were always persons to be found who deprecated new measures nnd new undertakings, no matter in what line of business. He himself had had several petitions put into his hands 011 former occasions, from his con- stituents, at Rochester, who were inn- keepers there. They complained that the steam- boats floated away all the coach passengers, and left the inns along the road without customers. It was soon proved, however, that, notwithstanding the increase of steam- boats, the coaches were as crowded, and Ihe inns as full as usual. The hon. gent, concluded by moving Ihe second reading ot the bill. Mr. PORTMAN, in rising to move, as an amend- ment, lhat the bill be read a second time that day six months, said he regretted very much that a sense of duty obliged hint to differ from his right hou. friend 011 this or any oilier question. He considered that this bill would have an effect injurious to the public, and his object was to slop it in the first stage, if possible, iu Ihe hope that his right hou. friend might be induced to come down with a proposal for the repeal of the malt tax, or some other measure which would give a direct relief to the public— the taking off the dut y on soup and candles, for instance. He complained of this bill because it was not what it professed to be. It did not give a free trade iu beer by totally relieving the brewer and Ihe publican from the control of the magistrates. If the magistrates were to have any responsibility, they should have a complete respon- sibility, with the check which the right of appeal would present. It would be impossible for Ihe magistrates to preserve the public peace, as they were sworn to do, iu their districts, unless they were invested with full and sufficient power. His right hon friend laid great stress upon the advan- tage of giving to the public a better article for consumption ; but he saw no security which this bill offered for such an effect. It took away the control of the excise, and it gave a competition instead. But he would venture to say that it would not be so easy to find a new class of brewers to enter into competition with the old brewers. His right lion, friend knew that in the pari of the country to which they both belonged there was a class of brewers who had a large number of public- bouses, aud the competition would be between them and the class who had a smaller number. The struggle would be, not who should supply the better beverage, but who should have the greater number of houses. He was of opinion that it was absolutely necessary for the preservation of the public peace that the magistrates should have a c- oulroul over the public- houses, for, if it became necessary to trace at) offender, the officer, 011 going to the public house licensed under Mr. Estcourt's Act, received all Ihe information in the power of the landlord to give. But, when the publican was licensed under the excise, he would say, " You have no right to question me ; 1 am not under your control." Another objection which he hud to this bill was, thai, as it was not merely experimental, it would be impossible to retrace our steps if I lie measure turned out badly. When once the trade should have been thrown open, it could not be again placed under the old law. It seemed to be supposed that the supply of Ihe article would be increased by this measure. He was not of that opinion. 4llhough the number of public- houses had increased of late years, the consumption of beer had not. He did not think that the public required an increased supply. There were already houses enough. In short, he did not see that the bill would benefit one class. It would not do good to ( he poor, because it would not lower the price of he article. It would do 110 good 10 the agricultu- rists, because if it increased the price of barley, os was coiitcnded, how could the price of beer be owered? And if the sale were increased without the price being lowered, would the farmer be com- pensated by that increase in the consumption of his produce for the effects which would take place in the morals o f his servants; and for the want of subordination which he would find amongst them ? As lo Ihe argument that this measure would check the habit of gin- drinking, he was as desirous os any man could be to see that pernicious practice corrected, but he did not know that it was possible for parliament, by any act, to alter the tastes of the people, and he feared that gin- drinking would continue iu spite of their efforts. It oui> ht to b recollected that this measure would involve a great destruction of property, and property whirl) he did not at all deem so unworthy of consideration as it seemed to be regarded by some. The interests of a large class of the community ought not to be sacrificed unless some great practical good was to be effected, aud in this case he thought the good was but remote and questionable. l: i the West of England there was abundant proof of the evil that would arise from giving encouragement to tippling houses. He alluded lo the cider shops. Every magistrate knew how difficult it was to preserve public peace and order where those shops were found, aud he feared lhat similar results might follow from Ihe encouragement this bill would give fo opening houses for tippling. Besides, in distant villages, whefe there was no. person iu authority, it would be impossible to enforce any regulation for shutting up these houses in case of riot aud miscon- duct. For these and other reasons he should move lhat the bill should be read a second time that day six months. Mr. DICKINSON said he did not think this bill would be any bonus to the common people, who were the class most entitled to consideration, for never was their condition more to be deplored than at present. It was said that it would cause the manufacture of a better article. Why, could it be supposed that those whohadnot capital would make a belter article? No, they would use all the delete- rious ingredients which modern chemistry invented. He objected to the bill, also, because it would in- crease the county rates by entailing upon the county tbe expense of all the broils to which the measure would give rise, lie should, therefore, support the amendment of his hon. friend. Mr. BENETT said that, however much he respect- ed the opinion of his hon. friends near him, he must differ from them on this question. There were three parties interested in this measure— the brewers, the publicans, and the public, so far as the morals of the people might be affected by it. First, with re- gard to the brewers : a tax of three millions and a half upon their commodity was taken off. This, of course, must increase the consumption, and the brewers must profit by it, because the public brewer paid this tax, and the private brewer paid none of it. If the public brewer had been able to compete will) the private brewer heretofore, he would be in a milch better condition now. He would be com- pensated by Ihe increased sale of his beer for the reduction in the value of his public- houses. Then, as to the publicans: they, he confessed, would suf- fer to a certain extent by the competition of the retail brewers. But who could say that those in- dividuals had a vested interest in serving the public with beer? It might as well be said that any class of dealers had a vested right in selling any particu- lar kind of provisions. Now, so far as the public morals were concerned, he considered that it would be much better for the labouring classes— those of them who were single men, and had no home— to have a room at one of these houses, where they could drink a wholesome liquor, than to pass their time iu the kitchen of a public- house, where they w ere liable to meet with temptations and seductions of various kinds. It would be very easy in the com- mittee to introduce clauses for restrictions as to belter securities, by tbe recognizances for good conduct, and other regulations of a salutary nature. He considered the bill as a great step to the re- moval of all taxes upon productive industry. If be could prevail upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take off the duly 011 malt instead of that on beer, he should be very glad; but, as he despaired of what he considered the greater good, he was willing lo accept what the right hon. gentleman was willing to grant, and he hoped that in another session they might get rid of the malt tax, and then proceed in that salutary course. He was convinced the country would never thrive unless it were rid of all taxes upon productive industry. Mr. HEATHCOTF, was of opinion that his Majesty's ministers had exercised a sound discretion in pre. ferring this measure to a reduction of the malt tax The principal reason why he preferred it was, that it would enable ministers to do away with a mono, poly. Nothing could be worse than as things stood now. Taxes 011 beer had been repealed, vet th price of it remained nearly the same. Upon a com- pulation made from the parliamentary returns, it would appear thai the quantity of malt used in brewing porter was two bushels the barrel, just the proportion requisite to brew small beer. As to fhe immorality of the bill, in encouraging drinking, gentlemen could not recollect the meaning of the word. Was it immoral to encourage persons to drink good beer instead of bad ? The poor had a right to get their beer good and cheap. If they were guilty of immoralities, let them be punished ; but he did not anticipate this evil from the measure. Willi regard to the vesfed interests, the laws had not been made for the brewers, but for the com- munity; and the holding of public- houses by brew- ers was such an evil, that it was a recommendation to the bill that it got rid of it. Mr. SADLER said, that he owed it to a numerous and most respectable body of his constituents, as well as to others whose petitions he had had the honour of presenting to the house, lo support the amendment of his I1011. friend the member for Dorset- shire; and he did it the more willingly because that, alter the most mature and anxious considera- tion, lie fully concurred with their representations 011 the subject. He must iu the first place say that the present bill was highly objectionable as a measure of relief, as it would not at all benefit large districts of the country where agricultural pursuits principally obtained, and where it was universally acknowledged that distress prevailed more generally and was felt more deeply than in many other pin ts. These, however, he repeated, would not be iu the least degree benefitted by the proposed remission, because domestic brewing prevailed among them; whereas, h id the duty been taken off malt, it w ould have relieved them and the entire community. The consumption 011 the ale- bench might, indeed, be in- creased, whereas that in tbe cottage would be dis- couraged ; and, when it was recollected that our present manufacturing system had reduced our women and even children to Ihe condition of labour- ers, it wus to be regretted that there were no in- ducements held out by this bill for that private brewing which would distribute the wholesome beverage of England, which was the best support aud solace of labour, iu the domestic scene, aud amongst the inmates of the cottage. The hon. member next adverted to the indecency aud im- morality which the proposed alteration would oc- casion, which, he said, w ere, or ought to be, mat- ters of the deepest consideration. Heretofore, he said, it was the duty of the magistrates of the country to grant licences to none but those who were of good character, and who persevered iu a meritorious course of life. Hence the licensing system constituted the publicans of the country a kind of moral police distributed throughout the country, and placed precisely iu those situations where they were the most wanted, aud where their exertions were called forth at the very time when they were the most indispensable; and the dis- charge of their duty iu this respect was guaranteed by the strongest of all possible motives, interest. But let all be indiscriminately atlowed to vend in- toxicating liquors, without character, without re- spectability, without control, and Ihe most deplora- ble consequences would ensue. But the effect of Ibis relaxation, the hon. member said, had been al- ready dwelt upon by Ihose who had preceded him, and by many hon. members who had this night pre- sented petitions on the subject, and he should, therefore, not enlarge upon them. The honourable member, after advancing other arguments in favour of a remission of the duty upon mult iu preference to lhat upon beer, said, that one inconvenience, and that of tbe most striking nature, would ensue from the proposed alteration— one which had not as yet been alluded to. When the excise officers should grant licences, and merely os a matter of revenue, nothing could be more certain than that the most intolerable nuisances would he the result. Hon members, who, perhaps, had their residences secure from all intrusion in the retirement of parks, or sur- rounded by extensive grounds, might not he liable lo these injuries, but it became them as the repre- sentatives of the people to consider the situation' iii which those would be placed who were not so ad- vantageously circumstanced, when the quietude and decency of a respectalbe street or neighbour- hood would be destroyed by a pot- house at their doors, with all the indecency and disturbance which it would necessarily occasion. What could ex- ceed the injury which the father of a family must sustain from the constant immorality and indecency thus occasionrd?— and if such an one deserted his previous residence in order to avij'd the nuisance, he had no security fhat it could not pursue him if it pleased the excise- officer so to ordain it. The lion, member next ad verted to the injustice which tbe proposed measure would perpetrate. He did tint allude, he said, to the great brewers; file interests of these he conceived were promoted by the pro posed measure. He referred principally to an humbler though a highly respectable class; to the licensed victuallers of the country, many of whom had purchased their premises under the present system, and all of whom had embarked their capital Subject to it. These apprehended great loss, and many of them ruin, lo themselves and families by the proposed alteration; and it ought to be recol- lected that the system was not of their creation ; it was one not merely tolerated, it had been perempto- rily dictated, by the legislature of Ihe country. It became that legislature, therefore, to repair tiie - mischief itself had created, if it contemplated an alteration like that at present proposed. On the whole he should join with the hon. member for Dor- setshire iu opposing the measure, under the hope, that, if it were rejected, the remission of the duty upon malt would be granted— a measure which would equally serve every class of the community, and especially the poor— would protect the property at present embarked in the business under consider- ation— and would preserve to the country the bene- fit of that superintendence of the magistracy which had been exercised; generally speaking, iu such a manner as to protect the morals and promote the interests of the community at large. The hon. member concluded by saying that he did not op- pose the measure from any cynical feelings regard- ing the enjoymentstff the humblest classes of society, but rather with the hope of securing and extending them. He wished stili to continue those houses of entertainment which should, in the beautiful lan- guage of the poet of the humbler classes, con let* " An hour's importance on the poor man's heart." But in so doing he would wish also to cheapen the beverage of the cottage, and extend its use uni- versally ond to the humblest classes of society^ by a remission of the tax upon malt, and thereby en- courage universal brewing. Mr. F. BUXTON said, that those who contended that the malt tax should be taken off, instead of the beer lax, could not know the state of the casei Equal justice should be deult to the rich and Ihe poor ; but the rich paid a tax on their beverage of Co per cent, the poor one of 156 per cent. He spoke for the brewers, and said openly, that they considered that there was nothing more ridiculous and idle than a claim for compensation. The con- duct of his Majesty's government, in reference to the bill introduced two years ago by the hon. member for Oxford, was a virtual pledge to the publicans that the present system would not be disturbed. The publicans having embarked a large capital ill this trade, on the implied faith of the government that no alteration would be made in the system by which it was regulated, they had now a strong claim to the consideration of the government and of parliament, Mr. SADLETT, in explanation, said that his object was to afford at a cheaper rate a better beverage to the poor of England, whereas the hon. member who spoke last stated in so many words that he spoke for the great brewers, which was evident enough. Sir C. BURRELL was of opinion that it was the malt tax which should have been taken off. Minis- ters should consult practical men before tliey brought forward measures for the relief of the country, for otherwise they stood a good chance of bringing forward measures like tbe present, which would not be followed by the effects which they anticipated. They might as well try to learn in the depth of the sea, as in the streets of London, what would be beneficial to the country at large. Mr. MABERLY, whilst he admitted that the pub- licans would in Ibis respect lay a just, or even a feasible claim ( o vested rights, begged Ihe right hon. gentleman lo recollect this was a Case of very peremptory, if not excessive interference, in the appropriation of private property. Heuce they ought to have particular claims 011 the consideration of the house. The query then was, could any thing be effected for their protection from loss aud injury consequent on this measure? He certainly thought there might, lie recollected the course pursued by government on its repeal of the bounties granted on Irish linens- There 10 years had been given, during which one- tenth of the bounties was reduced each year. In the same way let there be accorded lo the publicans an exclusive privilege to furnish beer for consumption on the spot for a certain time to be limited by this act. lu the hope that this sort of middle measure would be pursued," be should vote for the second reading of the bill, hoping that the bill would come out of the com. mittee with those enactments which would be satis- factory to all parties. Mr. C. CALVERT entirely concurred in all that had fallen from his hon. friend the member for Weymouth ( Mr. F Buxton). He should certainly support the bill of the right hon. gentleman, and he trusted that in the committee the publicans would be fairly dealt with, aud every consideration given to their just claims. Mr. R. PALMER thought the measure went a great deal too far. If it were a proposition for file repeal of the malt tax, I10 should give it his support. Mr. C. BARCLAY' thought the bill would be beneficial to the country at large, and it should have his support. Lord MILTON was opposed fo the bill, though not to the general principle on which it was founded. The repeal of the malt tux would afford relief to the country at large, and to the great body of the people, but he did not anticipate such effects from this bill. Mr. C. CALVERT explained. Mr. HOULDSWORTII opposed tbe bill. Lord G SoMEttSET supported it, from his con- viction of its salutary tendency for the brewers, the licensed victuallers, and the public. Colonel SIBTHORP thought that the way to benefit the public would be by the repeal of the malt tax. The relief by this Beer Bill would be nothing— it would be ouly a flea- bite. Let the house be, as it w as last night, determined to oppose the Chancellor of the Exchequer, aud he would rctracc his steps. Mr. BROUGHAM was decidedly in favour of this bill, because its inevitable tendency was to increase competition, and thereby improve the quality of beer, which being ( when good) the favourite beverage of Englishmen, would then supplant spiritous liquors, which had now unfortunately, in many places, supplanted it. He related an example given at a recent trial, where the badness of tbe beer had created a rum trade at a licensed victualler's, and when at the risk of ejectment he had changcd his brewer, and got a better article, the previous consumption of malt liquor speedily returned, and the effects of the continued use of dram drinking were obviated. He differed also from the hon. baronet as to the propriety of w ith- drawing file malt instead of the beer duties. Tak- ing off the tax on beer was a relief to the poor man, who did not brew, but was obliged to buy his beer; — taking off the tax oti malt would be a relief to the rich man, who brewed, and seldom bought his own beer. He was happy to say, that upon the present occasion he thought that the conduct of the brew- ers was highly creditable to their good sense, and formed a striking contrast to their conduct seven or eight years ago, when he had them on his back even after he bad diluted them, by altering his bill, and by introducing into it this restrictive clause, and after he had reduced them, as he thought, by the introduction of it as a sort of dele- terious ingredient. Notwithstanding all that, he might as well have kept out his water and his coculus indicus from the brewing ; for the brewers j joined the publicans against him, and the bill was thrown out almost as speedily, and with as great a majority, as if he had introduced fhe bill without the restrictive clause. He congratulated his right hon. friend on bringing in Ibis bill under happier auspices; it showed, that owing to the march of intellect, brewers as well as beer were improving. It likewise was a liappy illustration of a remark of Lord Coke, who was 110 less an ornament of that house than he was of the profession with which his name Was so inseparably connected. That great man had said—" Never was a good proposal made in parliament that was wholly lost lo the country. Make tbe proposalonce. it may be defeated; repeat it, it may be defeated again ; still persevere, and depend ou it that, if it be worth acceptance, it will ultimately be accepted.'' The house then divided, when there appeared— For the bill 245 Against it 28 Majority for tiie bill..... — 217 CHESTER RACES- ( CONCLUDED ) DUTIES ON HIDES, MALT, 4- c. An instructive document hasbeen published ; it is entitled " An Account of the . total quantities of Hides and Skins, Malt, Coffee, tea, Paper, Printed Goorls, Spirits, Tobacco, & c. charged with Duties of Excise in each Year, from the Year 1818 to the Year 1829 inclusive, showing the Rates of Duty charged upon each article, so far as relates to England." This doctiriient settles the currency and free- trade question* and exposes all the fallacious, absurd, and disgusting statements about exports and imports, which have recently been put forth to delude the country. It is an elaborate document, and we must, therefore, content ourselves with giving the total quantities of a few of the leading articles from the year 1824. We begin With this year, because we avoid the excesses of the specu- lative year 1825, and the stagnation one of 1826. With respect to the article of printed goods, on which so much has been said, it appears that the number of yards printed ( the quantity, reader, not the value, so there can be no mistake,) in 1854 amount to 120,434,322 yards, whereas in 1829 the number only amounted to 110,304,149 yards, show- ing a decrease since 1824, of no less than 10,130,173 yards of printed goods, and this with an increasing • population and falling wages ! In the articles, hides and skins, the quantity manufactured in 1824, was 56,445,600 pounds weight, and 1S9,032 dozens not charged by weight. In 1829 the quantity was 46,810,314 pounds weight, and 129,599 dozen. The decrease is 9,635,286 pounds weight, and 59,433 dozen, and this with an increasing population and falling wages ! ID the article of bricks, the quantity made in 1824, though much less than was made in 1825, amounted to 1,463,230,999, and in 1829 to 1,109,690,702, showing a decrease in the manu- facture of bricks of 352,540,397, and this wiih an increasing population and falling wages ! The decrease in the number of tiles is in the same proportion. In the article cf malt, not withstanding the in- crease of gin drinking, the number of bushels which paid duty in 1824, amounted to 27,615,382, and in 182$ to 23,428,074, exhibiting a decrease of 3,187,309 bushels, and this wiih an increasing population and. cheap corn / tii the article paper, the quantity made is less in 1829 than in 1824. In tobacco, the ordinary quality, or the mob quality, is slightly decreased ; but there is an in- crease in the quantity of cigars consumed, which is a proof of the march of intellect. In the article of beer of all sorts, strong and weak, simple poisonous and XX poisonous, in 1824 we consumed 8,221,912 barrels, and in 1821? only 7,398,852 barrels, showing a dect- ea. se of 823,0Q0 barrels, and this with an increasing population and cheap corn / £ Jii0celUiuou0 Intelligence. ..( DARLING,) 1 2 . 3 . 4 ( list The Poor Laws Amendment Bill, and the Usury Laws Modification Bill, now before Parliament, pro- ceeding as they do from the same school of politicians, illustrate very strongly the tendency of that school to the doctrines of a Plutocracy,— of a system in which the possession of money should constitute not only the sole title to influence in public affairs ( this seldom can be helped), but the sole qualification for the enjoyment of the lowest civil rights. It was proposed that the pauper should not have the company of his children, or the controul of their education — last year, indeed, it was proposed to take from him a reversionary interest in his own body; — and as to money, Sir James Scarlett cannot see why the rich man— the capitalist, may not use his money as he pleases, because the landlord can employ his land as he pleases!— This is the perfection of legislation ! BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.— The anniversary meeting' of this society took place on Wednesday at the Freemasons' Tavern : Lord Bex- ley in the chair.— Among the persons of distinction present were the Bishops of Winchester and Chester, Lord Calthorpe, Lord Lorton, Mr. Wilberforce, and Mr. C. Gi ant.— The Report stated that the affairs of the society had been going on prosperously in Germany ; and that the Jews of Frankfort had ap- plied for Bibles, which were granted to them. From Petersburgh the society had received the most interesting communications. In Sweden 283,787 Bibles had been distributed. From Norway 2000 Testaments had been requested from the society. The Danish Bible had just been completed. From Calcutta, Madias, and other parts of India, the re- ports were equally satisfactory. Arrangements were making for printing the Old Testament edition of the Psalms iu the Esquimaux language, to the extent of 1000 copies. The receipts of the society for the past year were £ 84,982, and the expenditure £ 81,610. The number of Bibles and Testaments circulated was 434,422. The number of new branch societies was 111. The committee noticed with' pleasure the fact of having made presents of Arabic Psalters to twenty Egyptian youths that had been sent over here by the Pacha for education. Deists find their way into Parliament— but they find it under the profession that they are Christians : and this very profession, however disgraceful it may be to any who hypocritically employ if, is still a homage to the religion of the Gospel, which must have an effect abroad. But remove the necessity for this homage upon any pretext ( the relief of the Jews is perhaps the most respectable that could be devised), and you will promulgate to the people the terrible doctrine that all religions are alike,— terrible, because the obvious conclusion from it would be, that all reli- gions are false. Admit the Jew, and can you exclude the Mussulman, who is, in fact, a Jew, as far as faith and rites are concerned, except that he sup- poses his Messiah has alreatlv descended in the per- son of Mahomet— admit the Mussulman, and whom can you exclude? On Monday morning, a man named John Ripkey, who had arrived at the extraordinary age of 108 years, died in his apartment, at the house of Mr. Wells, the hair- dresser, Drury- lane, opposite Craven- Buildings. It appears that he served in the war between the French and English in America, under General Wolfe, in 1759 ; he subsequently distin- guished himself in the American war, at Bunker's Hill, at which time he was in the 13th regiment of Foot. lie quitted the army in 1791, from which time he received his Majesty's bounty as an out- pensioner of Chelsea Hospital. He had had three wives, but had no family. Up to the time of his death he retained his faculties; the whole of his teeth were gone, with the exception of one ( a very large one) in the centre of the upper jaw; his eye- sight, however, remained good till the last. SIGNS OF THE TIMES.— A few days ago four persons, living under the same landlord in Roch- dale, had their goods distrained for non- payment of rent. The goods were removed for convenience of sale to the Weavers' Arms, Cheetham- street, and on Tuesday sold by auction, for the sum of 15s. and some odd copper. One of the four persons managed to raise the ^ um of four shillings, and attended the sale, thinking that he might perhaps purchase his own bed for that sum ; but judge of his surprise when he not only bought his bed, but nearly all his furniture that had been taken, for less than four shillings ! An Italian used to say, that wine had these tw^> inconveniencies— If you put water into it, you mar it; and if you put none in it, you mar yourself. " If water ought to be mixed with wine," said a toper, " God would have done it in the grape." WEDNESDAY, MAY 5.

Fvlde was booked to win in some quarters ; in others Fell, in consequence of his capital and successful running for the Tradesman's Plate on Monday ; while wiih others again Ilalston was certain to be the winner of this plate, as he had not succeeded for the Tradesman's. Mona's Pride was not much thought of, and 7 to 1 was offered freely against him. The betting was 5 to 4 against Fylde, and 6 and 7 to 4 against Felt. A capital start; Mona's Pride leading off, with Fell well in, and Ilalston and Fylde evidently lying by. On coming towards ihe new bridge ( first time round) Fylde unfortunately fell, rolling over his rider ( G. Nelson). Felt then catne out, and by the time they had reached the ship- yard he took the lead for a little, and the running became highly interesting between him and Mona's Pride. To wards the distance post Halston challenged, arid a most severe and close- run race all the way ensued, in which all the riders exerted themselves lo the utmost. Mona's Pride, however, kept his vantage ground, and won by about half a neck, amidst the most defeaning shouts of applause from the multi- tude, and some tremendous long faces among ih knowing ones in the Grand Stand. Fylde's acei dent was occasioned by the breaking of a ' stirrup leather. He came down as if shot, rolling over the rider, and as ihe latter did not stir for a few seconds, serious fears were entertained that be was killed on the spot; Happily, however, this was not the case,- nor were there any bones broken.— It is wofthy of remark thai the horse, who is remarkably restiH and difficult to manage in the stable yard, as soon as he could reeovef himself, stood siill by the side of his prostrate rider.

A circumstance occurred at Mr. Rothschild's a few days ago, which is curious in itself,, and has led to much conjecture in the city with respect to its real history. An individual in the garb of a ticket- porter was observed to enter the front dobfr of the office in * New- court with a small box under his arm, which, as it afterwards appeared, he deposited in the door- way, and effected his retreat with much precipitation. Tins box, which was addressed to Mr. Rothschild, was co'ti^ veyed as soon as found to that gcntlehian, and ori dpening it was found to contain £ 2,090, all in sove-> reigns. With it was a short, note containing some vague expressions of gratitude to Mr. Rothschild for certain advantages obtained through him by the writer, in return for which he begged to offer him the gold which the box contained. He requested that an acknowledgment might be given by an advertisement in a newspaper of its having safely reached him. No signature was attached to the note, nor is it at all known either who the writer is, or what his motives were in sending such a superfluity as money to such a quarter.— Times. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT — On Tuesday, the 20th lilt, a distressinsr accident occurred near Castle Grant, parish of Cromdale, Strathspey. A young man, named Donald Bruce, haying been attending a lykewake in the neighbourhood^ on his return home lay down in a field to rest himself, his do<£ lying beside him. Unfortunately, ut this time, William Mackenzie, a yoitng nisri on the farm, went out to shoot dogs, which infest and destroy great numbers of the sheep. Bruce's dog waa lying above him, in the act of caressing hia riiaster, when Mackenzie, in the dim light of the morning, believing it to be Worrying. a sheep, fired his gun, and lodged the contents in the body of the unfortunate and unsuspecting youth. A faint fihriek convinced Mackenzie of his awful mistake, and medical assistance was soon procured. The young man is still alive, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery. To add to the poignant regret and sorrow felt by the innocent cause of this disastroua occurrence, the t\% o young men were close com- panions and friends.— Inverness Courier. The use of suspension bridge* i « now becomiujf very general in France, and great improvement* have been' made in the mode of construction. A bridge of this kind, which has recently been finish- ed at Fourquesj on the Rhone, is spoken of a « a chef d^ ceurre. Until within the last six months the quality of the iron of vfrhich the Chetin. cabled Suspen- sion bridges were manufactured in France was of a quality not to be relied oh; but the adoption of ait improved process has enabled the iron- founders to turn out chains of equal strength to those of Great Britain. DEVIZES BANK NOTE ROBB RT.— It may pro- bably be in the recollection of many of our readers that, at the latter end of the year 1827, a parcel con- taining blank bank notes, belonging to the firm of Tylee and Co. of the Devizes bank, was abstracted from a coach, on its passage between London and Devizes The contents of the parccl were about 300 printed stamps, of the plate of the above fifm; fop £ 5 and £ 10 notes; Several of these notes," from time fo time, came into circulation, but without affording any clue to the parties connected with the robbery until the spr'. ng assizes of last year, when a person was found guilty of the offence of uttering, knowing to be forged, one or more of the impressions, having been filled up and signed Thomas Tylee. This man, before his execution, gave information to the police, fhat the remainder of the parcel was deposited in th# town of Birmingham or its neighbourhood. Until lately, ' we understand, no attempt was made to put them into circulation after the first essay, which ended in fhe execution of the person allude; d to. At the latterend of last month, however, some of the notes were paid into the Bank of Messrs. Moilliet, Smith, and Pearson, of Birmingham, by Mr. Charles Lucy, the corn- factor, who has a large establishment at Toll End, where the notes were taken ; and, on pursuing farther enquiries, three persons were apprehended, and have been committed to take their trials on the capital offence at the nextStafford assizes— The prison- ers are Richard Nightingale, the landlord of the Crown public house, at Ochre Hill ; J. Lawrence, who stated himself to he clerk to Nightingale; and Elizabeth Handley, who had been formerly servant to Nightin- gale. The examinations were taken before the Rev. Mr. Leigh and the Rev. Mr. Clare, at the Public Office, Bilston, and the final investigation took place on Tuesday last, when the prisoners were committed to the assizes.— Birmingham Journal. A little girl attending a sewing school in Johnstone was lately, by a relative, presented with a pin- cushion made in the form of a book, with the words, " The march of intellect," inscribed on its back. The girl was showing it to her mistress, who, after reading the inscription on the back, said, " Ay, that is some place abroad."— Greenock Advertiser. SF. RVANTS IN INDIA.— Not the least amusing of the lighter features of the picture of India, is the ap- pearance of our countrymen there. The expense of keeping a retinue of servants is so trifling, compared with the cost of the same ostentation in England, that a person in a comparatively humble situation can afford, and generally has, a greater following than the first nobleman in England. In the towns'at the respective Presidences, it is not necessary for this following to be armed ; and instead of that, the peons, or lackeys, carry silver sticks before the great man. Those sticks are sometimes short, and bent towards the upper end, and terminate in tbe head of a tiger or other animal. At other times they more resemble a beadle's mace, or the staff of a drum- major. In England they would appear exceedingly ridiculous, but. they are necessary in India, where the people have no notion of greatness but the external show that it makes. There are persons whose hereditary office it is to perform all the possible duties that can be wanted in the most gaudy and luxurious estab- ment. These are sircars, or agents, that take charge of money matters; khansamans, or stewards, who look after the general establishment ; sirdar bearers, who direct the palanquin men on the march, and are the especial valets de chambre ; witli an endless list, each doing his own office humbly and faithfully, but never interfering with any work which is the duty of another, as that would be both polluting and being polluted. Whatever may be the number of servants that are of caste, it is necessary to employ a pariah, in supplement, for the cleaning of shoes, as the touch- ing of leather is an especial abomination to an Hindu. In former times, when there were ways of getting wealth in India « bat are now obsolete, this pomp was sometimes extremely ludicrous. rI he palanquin was as gaudy with gilding, and almost as costly* as a Lord Mayor's coach; the umbrella that was carried over it as gorgeous as the canopy at a coronation dinner; the number of gold sticks, silver stick", and peons, armed with spear and shield, and, save the shred of cloth round their middle, clad in the " dun night- gown" of their own skins, were almost past counting; so that a merchant, a writer, or a subaltern in the army, might have passed, with one ignorant of the customs of the country, for the Mogul himself; and the Governor- General's appearance on state days might have been mistaken for an avatar of Vishnu nor is there any question that, had Clive been a Brahmin, and resided permanently in India, he would in due time have come to that honour. In those times, children had separate establishments before they could speak, and sahees paraded along with them, with led horses, ready caparisoned, before they could walk.— Picture of India. A singular circumstance took place at Pontefract Sessions on Tuesday, occasioned by a coincidence of names. Among the prisoners for trial were several Jacksons, and two of fhe name of " John Jackson." One of the latter was placed at the bar, was arraigned, and a witness examined, upon a charge of stealing, at Darrington- Lees, a quantity of barley- meal, & c. It was at length discovered that the " John Jackson" then at the dock was committed upon a charge of stealing beef at Bradford, and that the Court was consequently trying the wrong man ! The case created considerable surprise, and, with many persons, no small mirth.—• Halifax Chronicle.
