The Whole of the Timber used in its Construction is of the best Descrip- tion, and well seasoned ; framed together upon the most scientific and approved Principles, and in the most substantial Manner, with Wrought- lron Bolts, Bars, Screws, Plates, aud the various Descriptions of Fastenings. ' I he Glazing is done w ith the best Crow u Glass, and the Lights varied and ornamented with Side Squares of Ground Glass The Centr- e is sup- ported within by Doric Columns ; tbe several Com partments of Lights oriiameirted with Pilasteis, Archi- traves, and suitable Mouldings ; and the Fascia? below the Domes and Cornices enriched with appropriate Ornaments. A light and elegant Gallery surrounds Ihe Interior, to which a handsome Staircase is attach, ed, lighted by a Window of Stained Glass, in various tasteful Devices. The Roof is framed with Wrought- Iron Rafters, fixed and bolted to tbe Meatus and Wall Plates; the Dome and Barrel Lights in the Root < Fig 50) are made of fine Metal, and the utmost Care has In en taken in fitting the .

FKB. 1829. " The Arrangement of this Conserva'ory seems to me to be excellent, as uniting a higher Degree of Classic Purity with the Profusion of Gia* s requited in such a Building, than I hav, e met with elsew here. 1 speak of the A RCTIITBCTIRAL Arrangements, in which light 1 have rcbieHy considered it. in this I remark the skilful Manner in which the four internal Column* hare b^ eu disposed, and the Way in which the Ceil, ings belonging to the two Wings havebeeu lighted. The Effect from the End of one Wing, where these Columns are seen iu Perspective, appears to me better than that ofthe larger Central Space, on Account of them. Respecting ihe Central Pari, I would suggest as an Impiovement, if it could he consistently ma. naged, that a few Columns of the same Doric as tho> e thai separate the Wings from the Centre should be placed und, er the Gallery, which would be far better than slender ones of Iron, unless these latter are made like Tripods or Candelabra, This Practice was adopted in Ancient Art, aud is the only Method ( in that Style) of making Ihe Eye tolerate anv Support more slender than a regular Column. Some Instances of this K'ud were found in Paintings at Pompeii They should hove rich, Tripod Pedestals, from which a Fluted Stem should lise, finishing at the Top with a broad, ornamented, Tripod Bowl. Unless the general Appearance of a tlandelabruui is preserved, the slen- der Fluted Shaft or Stem appears quite unequal to support the Wright above. But when properly done, it is the only Form in which the Eye recognizes the Support of Metal." AT BRIM FIE LI) AND WYSON, In the County of Hereford. BY MR. TIKIS.

V Mr. SLANGY, in rising to bring forward tbe motion, of which be had sgiven notice, for meliorating \ he condition of tlte labouring poor, said that they might be divided into t'vvd Masses— tiainely, the agricultural T. sf. 1 < m! Anufacti' » ting. The first class composed two ' diVtetotis— the agricultural labourers " of the South t\ nd those of. fce North, both of which were differently c irevjmstmu^ d. . He regretted to say that while those of tire ' North were comparatively well oft', the agricultural labourers . of the South suffered very i evcrc privations, yet lie hoped to see the day when both would be placed on an equal scale of comfort. With respect to the second class, namely,— those wtio were employed in mechanical associations, he must, observe, before he proceeded further, that fhey were ifat re- gardfd by tiie landed gentlemen in the same favourable light as the " agriculturists were. In the words of the lauded gentlemen, an undue prejudice was excited against the manufacturers, though nothing could be more obvious than that both landed and the manufacturing interests were inseparable. In sup- port of the view which he tool: of this Question, he would now show the increase of the manufacturing population, as regarded all other classes within a certain period. In 1801 fhe manufacturers, as regarded the agriculturists were as six to five ; in 1821 they wcVb a* eight to five j ft fid, considering the increase of population since that tinie, they were as two to one iti 1830. The increase in Scotland was still more extraordinary within fhe same period. There it was, in 1801, as five to six j in 1821 as nine to six ; and, in 1830, as two to one. The increase of the whole population within the last twenty years was 30 percent, and of the manufacturing population it was 40 percent. In Manchester the increase was 60 per cent.; in Liverpool the same; in Coventry tiie same ; Leeds 54 ; Birmingham 50 ; and in Glas- gow 100 per cent. Tire increase of capital for that time might be taken at CO per cent, throughout, the whole country. The increase on manufactures was f) 0 per cent. The imports of cotton for the five vearsending in 1800 were 139,000,000 lbs.; for the five years etiding in 1820, they were 220,000,00t) lb*. So likewise with wool. The imports of wool for the five years ending in 1808, were 14,500,000 lbs.; for the five years ending in 1820, they were 27,500,000 ibs. Gnat ns was the Military Chief who had led ihe armies of Britain to victory, there was Mother individual who, in tbe pursuit of peaceful science, deserved no less of his country,— and that individual was James Watt, a man who had carried civilization 1o every part of the globe— from the Northern Ocean to the Pacific— from the Ganges to the Mississippi. It was unnecessary fot him to say that he alluded to that wonderful pow er— steam navigation The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to show that, W ithin the last 14 years, the number of steam vessels had increased 30 fold, and the amount of tonnage 60 fold, all vrhith facts, he contended, proved the vast importance of the tnanufactures of this country The greatest practical evil whi£ h affected tbe humbler classes of society was the constant fluctuation ' of the employment in which they were engaged, the effect of which was, in times of prosperity, to lead them into waste and riot and extravagance, and, at the season of short employment, to involve them in want, misery, and often insubordination. It was now more peculiarly necessary to consider the state of the manufacturers, because, up to this period, we had had a Monopoly of the trade of the world, and tYot only that, but also a monopoly of that freedom which the history of every nation showftl to be indispensable to the growth of the arts, while at presHit there were tivu countries opposite our shores which were closely copying our institutions and rivalling our produc- tions, and where the greatest possible encouragement Vas given to manufacture. That was a reason why we should study every practicable means of im- proving the condition of those who were now sub- jected to the effects of that competition which heretofore they had had no cause to dread. The fluctuation of wages was owing to two or three tauses, different from each other. In cases where hand- labour was principally employed in the pro- duction of a manufacture, the price w as not liable to the same fluctuation as where the greater portion of the work was done hy machinery. One species of fluctuation arose from the improvement of machinery, which, although, on the whole, it was, no doubt, beneficial to the labouring classes, yet did, for a time, lead to a fluctuation of employment against which it was necessary to give the industrious artizan some protection. He would trouble the house with an fxample of this which would be found curious. Of hand looms there was now the same number in l. ngland and Scotland as there had been in 1820, the r. urnber being about 240,000, but the power looms had greatly increased. In 1820 there were 14,000 power h turns— the number was now 55,000, each of which could'do as much work as three hand- looms, being thus equal to 42, COO hand looms in 1820, and fo 105,000 hand- looms at present, showing an in- crease equal to what might have been done by 123,000 hand- looms. In other trades he was in- formed similar changes had taken place. He would mention one point in which these improvements in machinery were peculiarly beneficial — namely, that they enabled the weaker sex and children, who would he otherwise incompetent to any efforts of industry, to tike part in the general labour, and thus to improve the condition of their. families. Another * pecits of fluctuation in labour arose from the change of place or fashion. Since the invention of the steam- vnginc, many- manufactures had migrated, and seemed t « i have fixed themselves iti those positions where tual was to be had cheapest. Thus tho woollen trade, which had formerly been carried on principally in the southern counties, was now, in a great measure, transferred to the northern. Another cause of *! uctuati'on was, as be had said, the change of fashion. Gentlemen would easily understand the effect of changes of this nature. Cotton goods displaced woollen ones, ,. nd they again in their turn irave way to silk. He would mention one instance vliich would be found not uninteresting, of the effect of a change of fashion upon a large body of people. ? t was said that Worcester had been extremely injured hy the importation of foreign gloves, which Were formerly prohibited. He had taken occasion to converse with several manufacturers connected with that cily, and had ascertained that, the depression Vas mainly owing to a change of fashion. A few \ ears Ago it would he recollected every body wore what were culled beaver gloves, which were made of sheep shins supplied in this country. Now every- body wore kid gloves, whrch were made of lamb, or goat, or kid skin imported from abroad. The effect, therefore, was very unfavourable to those places where the manufacture of Ihe former description of article had been largely carried on. Vet to show the effect .- of giving fair play, he would trouble the House with. « i statement from which it appeared that the quantity made amounted in 1820 to 182,000 dozen. In 1825, it was 430J0OO dozen. In 1826, wVn the foreign . article was first admitted, it fell to 389,000 dozen. Li 1S' 27, notwithstanding a large foreign importation, the manufactute rose to 57O, 000 dozen, and, in 1S28, which was tbe last year for which he had a return, toe amount was 660,000 dozen — making an increase since the trade was opened, deducting the foreign importation, of 144,000 d- z.- n. Hfc would mention » another instance, which* though more remote, was not less extraordinary. At the period when the eliangc of fashion took place, from shoe- buckles to shoe- strings, the manufacturers of Birmingham made si representation as to the effect which this alteration would have upon their meahs of industry ; but it was considered that if any interference took place with a s iew to prevent shoe- strings to supplant ahoe- buckles, it would ' be an injury to the manufacturers of ( oventry, in favour of the manufacturers of Bir- mingham, and therefore that it was better to let the thing find its own level. These were the effects of the changes of fashion upon the employment of the poor. But there wore other changes which affected fhe happiness and comfort of the manufacturers in a po less important degree— he meant political and ffyiijuerciat changes According to the papers with which he had provided himself, it appeared that in 1827 and J828 there were exported seventeen mil- lions and a half of cotton goods, five millions and a cjuarjcr of w oollen goods, and two millions and a half i f metal and hardware, making an aggregate of 25 Bullions per annum in these three trades; of these, ( Germany and tiie Nether'ands took £ 4,200,000, and the United States two millions and a half. In those points we wore most vulnerable, and it was necessary to give protecti n to the manufacturer against the fluctuation of his employment. Let Parliament, therefore, not force any measure upon these humble classes of the community, but merely facilitate to them the means of guarding against the effect of these changes. For this purpose he would take the practical example arising from the benefit societies, as at present constituted by law. The principle of Miese societies was. to enable persons to effect insurances against illness, old age, or natural con- tingencies. He would venture to suggest that a Committee should be appointed tcx consider of ithe propriety, and devise fhe means, of extending this principle further, and of enabling the industrious classes to insure themselves against contingencies of a different nature— nainelv, thofce of little or no employment. To show the vast number of the humbler classes who were liable to these changes, he would trouble the Hoifee With the results furnished by returns relating to. the cotton trade, which he selected from its great extent and importance, and because, in ivi's judgment, it showed the triumph of Capital, industry, intelligence, and freedom over natural obstacles in a striking point of view. By these advantages we were enabled to import the raw article from a distant quarter of the globe, to manufacture it, and return it. to the country from whence it had come, and there to undersell at his own • door the ^ liirdo'o, who received less in the to- ay of wages than any man upon earth. The value of the raw article was fiVe millions. We manufactured 50 millions, ami exported about 20 millions, per annum. How import an', - therefore, was it to improve, as much as possible, the condition and comfort, of those who were eViga'ge'd in that large branch of manufacture. If a circle were ' taikerr, of which the diameter should be 30 miles, and . Manchester the centre, half a million of persons Would be found engaged in this manu- fatfnt'e. He Would mention fhe rate at which those persons wore paid, in order to show that they possessed amply the capability of assuring against fluctuations in the way he suggested, if Che facilities were afforded them. Of these 5^ 0,000 persons, one- fifth— namely, 100,000 men, received 20s. a week ; one- fifth, men and women, 12s.; one- fifih, women, 7s.; and ono- tiff. li, children, 2s. 6d. a- week, These four- fifths supported the remaining fifth, which consisted of the old and infirm. Al' their work was performed by the jpicce, and it was paid for in money. There was none of the truck system, of the injurious effects of which they had heard so much in other quarters. He was told that the habits of many of these persons were frugal, as well as industrious ; but he was sorry to say that many had quite different tendencies. The hand- weavers were the worst off", but e'veu their condition was better now than at the beginning of the Session. All this large class of persons, consisting of upwards of h& If a million, had amongst them no fund upon which to go back at the period when those fluctuations should arise, which would throw them out of work. The woollen trade exporting five millions and a quarter annually, employed, as he was informed, nearly 20,000 persons in that vicinity. He would give fhe House an example of the situation of persons thus employed in other parts of the Country. They were dixided into three classes: 1st, the weavers, who earned 14s. a week ; next, the spinners, who earned 2 Is ; and 3dly, the dressers, who received also 2Is. a week. These persons also worked six days in the week, and 12 hours a day, and they w ere paid in mdiicy. Most of the dressers were paid by the piece, but the weavers and spinners were paid by the day. The women earned about six shillings a week. A great body of them, as he understood, for the most part spent all they earned, and ha'd no fund to have recourse to when a season of distress arrived He would now call the attention of the. House shortly to the situation of the workers at the third *. » reat trade to which he had referred; namely, tho hardware trade; Birntinghahi was formerly called the toy- shop of Europe, and it still deserved the designation ; for, although the change from war to peace had afletlted its manufactures, yet the ingenuity of its inhabitants struck out new sources of industry, so as to give almost constant employment to its labouring artisans. The person^ engaged in tbe various trades worked 16 liters a day for six d ys in the week ; they were almost all paid in money, and chiefly by the piece. Oiie class of workmen received 12s. another 18s. and a third 24s. a week. The women were able to earn from 6s. to 10s. a week, aud the children in proportion. He would venture shortly to refer to the situation of Sheffield, which excelled other places for tbe beauty of its articles in fine steel. There was in that tow n tho most curious division of labour of any with which be was acquainted. There were eleven principal trades, including the manufacturers of table- knives, pen- knives, and pocket- knives, scis sors, razors, fios, saws, edged tools, fenders, stove- grates, aud nails. These were divided into four other different classes, aud they again sub- divided into best, second, and third- rate workmen. The best received 25s. per week, the middle class 20s. and the lowest 16s. The principle which he suggested might be advantageously applied amongst this portion of the labouring community. He would say nothing of the iron- miners, who amounted to about 66,000, the majority of whom wore, as he was informed, a very industrious body of men, but improvident in their habits. He had shown that the wages of the manufacturers were sufficient to accomplish the object which he suggested, and he would ask what impropriety could there be in affording them the necessary legal facili- ties ? He proposed that a Committee should be named, for the purpose of considering how far the principle at present in practice, as related to natural contingen- cies, might bo beneficially applied to the contingencies of want of employment or slack employment. He know that one objection might be urged against this suggestion, on the ground that, if facilities of this kind were granted, they would be used for the pur- pose of combination against wages being raised or lowered otherwise than as suited fhe pleasure of the workmen. But he thought that that difficulty might be removed greatly by the rules which should be adopted. He would add that the state of the case was very different since the combination laws had been repealed. There was now no law against com- bination except w here it involved violence or intimida- tion. A Committee, of which the Hon. Member for Montrose was Chairman, had pronounced it as their opinion that the combination laws tended to foster combination, rather than prevent it; and he was sure that, in proportion as you secured the lower orders against the fluctuation of their employment, you would render them tractable and obedient to the law. Two causes which tended to produce fluctuation of wages were now removed. The first was the change of currency, which while it was in an unsettled state occasioned wages to rise and fall, with great incon- venience to the industrious classes. But the most important cause of these fluctuations was the constant change in the price of food, which was now also terminated by the recent regulations. From 1705 down to 1820, such was the variation in the price of corn, that in one year it would be three times the amount of what it had been the preceding one, and then, in the follow ing year, it would perhaps fall to one- half of w hat, it had been in the last. It was obvi- ous that the same wages could not keep the industri- ous classes in tho same comfort at the dear periods, and these alterations hold out a natural temptation to discontent and strife. But now the price of corn be- ing so regulated that fhe same degree of variation Cwuld not be expected, the danger of fluctuation of wages did not exist. It appeared that in particular trades in London the principle of insurance was car- ried to the greatest perfection, particularly among the tailors, and some other trades. They had a regu- 1 ir fund, to which each man subscribed so much from his wages, and w hen he was out of work he was put upon a stated allowance. Such a system, if not abused, must bo productive of many and great ad- vantages. rI lie second class fo whom he would allude on this head wore the carpet weavers of Kiddermin- ster, and some others, whose provision seemed, how- ever, to be very imperfect. If a man were out of work, he received what was called a travelling ticket, which enabled him to go to the different towns, and receive some small pecuniary assistance,— in some Cases it was a halfpenny a man ; but he must not come back tt) that place within a month. Another class received fiVe shillings, and some further trifling assist- ance. But, as these Classes had no fUnd laid up, their regulations had a very burdensome effect, inasmuch as, at the particular period when a man came, in distress, to receive assistance, his brother workmen were also in distress. But with respect to the third class to whom he had referred— namely, the cotton, woollen, and hardware manufacturers— they had ho fund or provision whatever to sustain them under a want of employment. There were two modes by which wages were reduced : fhe first was, where a smaller quantity of work was given out, but at the same prices; so that, after the temporary difficulty had passed away* the workmen returned; with little comparative inconvenience ( if they had a fund), to their former state. The other mode of reduction was lessening the price, but increasing the quantity of work ; but the effect of this was bad, because it in- creased the supply when the demand was least; the workman was obliged to work more hours in the day, and the warehouses were overstocked with unprofit- able goods, ui Wolverhampton he knew of the men having' worked 16 hours a- day for a very small pit- tance; and such was the over- supply of goods, that a currycomb could be purchased, for a penny. He implored tft'e House to bear in mtnd trie great im- portance of this large body of the people, not only as regarded the inerea> e of their comforts and the im- provement of their morals, but, satisfied as he was, that they possessed in their own industry and in- telligence a mine of wealth which could be iua. de inexhaustibly productive to the advantages, o/ t) se country, if the means were only taken to give'tnem fhe habits. of prudence and forethought necessary to give full effect to the profits of their labour. Con- vinced he was that in jkoportixYfi is this class recVr. od facilities for exertion, coupled w th information as to the best mode of exercising the. capabilities they possessed, inexactly the same proportion were, their energies and assiduity increased - for the purpose of obtaining their own living : and they themselves were rendered contented, tractable, and happy. He should not further trespass on the kind indulgence of the House, than to thank them for ihe patient £ nd indulgent attention they had paid fo his statement; a, id to move " That a; Select Committee be appointed to consider of, and find out the means to guard and provide against the fluctuation experienced in the employment, and to " mprove the health aud condition of the labouring in consequence of having held offices, amounting to £ 126,1%>, being an average of £ 4,35416 each person. This analysis was not, probably, perfectly accurate, but to the best of his honeSt belief it w& s substantially correct. He was confident it approximated to the truth. The Hon. Baronet then went into much more curious detail.— The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHE- QUER opposed the motion, on the ground that to institute such an inquiry would be to cast disrespect and ob| oquy upon the Privy Council : he, however, absented to ifs " spirit, and therefore proposed, as an amendment, to allow a return of the foes, emolu- ments, & c. enjoyed by all persons holding public situations. This proposition was declined, and the original motion being pressed to & division, was lost by a majority of 84, the numbers being 231 to 147.— The amendment was then agreed to, and the Hotise adjourned.

His Majesty hs there had lately t., keo place, very'generally, iu the manufacturing towns, au increase in the. rate of' Vvages; ami that, upon the whole of his personal observation, he would safely assert thai, in the districts with which he was best acquainted, the condition of the labouring classes was considerably improved. Mr. CIUPPB piofess'E'd Chat lie had no wish to throw cold water on the honourable member's pro- position, but he did desire to guard the house from the erroneous notion that it was likely to produce a benefit which he greatly feared it could never realise. It was impossible that workmen could now contribute out of their low wages, sufficient materially to assist their brethren who were at present out of , employineut. The case of the southern comities somew hat differed from that of the rest ; but the advantage to be derived from any association that raised contribution!! of two- pence and threepence would he a mere trifle compared with the' wants of thousands, w ho might daily require assistance. Tailors, in general, entered into societies, with a view to support their brother workmen when they were obliged to hold out. for higher wages than their employers were willing lo accord. Their regu- lations were therefore on a totally different, principle from that which was contemplated by the lion, member for Shrewsbury. It might be desirable to establish benefit societies in order to guard agaiiM the contingencies of accident or sickness, but he much doubted whether the proposed extension of the system would he fonnd practicable in operation. Mr. ROBINSON expressed life disbelief of the cot. rectness of the sources from whence the lion, member ( Mr. Slauey) had deriied his information as to the importation and consumption of gloves. Whatever might be the policy of the system, there was certainly but little of fair play in bringing the foreigner in com- petition wilh tlie home manufacturer. I? l; ii'(', not quantity, was the proper criterion of prosperity, and he could not conceive oti what principle of justice, torn- growers were protected to a certain amount of urice, while the manufacturing interest was averaged by Quantity. He felt Sensible of the humane inten- tions of the lion, member, but the information which was received from factors arid dealers, in gloves was very likely to be erroneous. They were interested parties, and it was well known that dealers were often ill a flourishing condition when manufacturers were suffering from privation and distress. The CHAIREKLI. OB of the EXCHIQIHR consented to the motion more for the purpose of procuring the information which might be obtained by a committee than with any expectation of accomplishing the object which the htm. gentleman professed to have in view Such an extension nf ( lib principle of benefit societies as the honourable member proposed, he conceived to be impossible. At present it was not difficult to calculate the periods at which assistance might he required, but when they endeavoured to apply the same principle to fluctuation, they sought to provide against contingencies which were not susceptible of calculation. Under the syStem recommended, it was not improbable ( hat parties would subscribe firsthand withdraw their subscription at a period of depression. Where the contingency of sickness was the subject to which the funds of the society wete to be directed, it was sufficiently evident that but a small portion would be demanded at a time. According to the hon- member's system, however, the calculation. w ould lead to a conclusion directly the reverse. If a number of different manufactures were conc- ntrated in one spot, he admitted that such a plan would be more prac- ticable, as in that case the superfluity of one manu- facture might supply the deficiency in another. But the hon. member seemed to overlook a diflkuWy of a different kind, which would nevertheless be found materially to embarrass the operations of his societies. How were tiiey to be enabled to ascertain wlielher the distress of applicants for relief hail proceeded from fluctuation ? How should they discriminate bctweeh the industrious aud the indolent? Might not their- credulity be abused, and their funds encumbered by the idle and profligate, whose fraudulent. representa- tions it would, be diffiicult to controvert ? On the » hole, he should not oppose the motion, being desirous of information, but he feared that the jilan v, hen developed, would not he„ foimd practically conducive of benefit to those for whose advantage it was intended. Sir G Pull. IPS said lie was not opposed to the hon. member's proposition, but the plan of savings banks appeared to him better calculated to benefit the lower classes rif society He agreed with the member for York, in thinking that the workmen employed in the factories in manufacturing districts were in a better situation than those who were employed out of them. Mr Alderman WAITHMAS observed, that it would be a mere delusion to appoint this committee, which could be productive of no good results, after they had already refused to inquire into the distresses of the people. Mr. Si, ANFT stated, in reply, that he could not believe the proposed committee w ould be altogether useless, whin he reflected that similar objections had been made to benefit societies, which were now known to enrol a million of members, and also to savings banks, in wjhieh at present not less than £ 111,000,000 sterling ue:-< invested. The motion was then agreed to, and a committee appointed. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. The House went into a Comitiittce of Supply, and after it had resumed, sir JAMES GRAHAM entered into a discussion respecting the emolumeifls hrVrivy Councillors. He was surprised at the refusal of his Majesty's Ministers to grant the return he was about to move for, nor could he imagine on what ground it was refused. The House, as the guardians of the public purse, bad a right, to demand a return of what sums of money were received by any officer^ under the Crown. Such returns had been moved for and ordered by the House on former occasions, when the object was to shew what Members of the House received public money; and he could not see why it should be refused when applied to Members of the Privy Council. The Privy Council was a body re- cognized by repeated statutes. In all communica- tions wilh tiie Crown by the House, the address was presented by Members of the Privy Council.— There were amongst the Members of the Privy Council but 30 who held two or more offices ; and there were 113 who held office under the Crown ; the former only would be returned on tbe motion of the honourable member for Lincoln. He had endeavoured to make out a return himself from the best information he could obtain. He read to the House an analysis of the whole. Besides the members of the Royal Family, there were 169 Privy Councillors, 113 of whom re- ceived public money to the amount of £ 650,164 annually, being an average of upwards of £ 5750 for each. Of this sum £ 386,000 was received for sine- cures, £ 143,00U for services, and £ 121,000 for pen sions. In the 113 who received salaries, pensions, or emoluments from the public money, there were SO pluralists who held more than one office each, and whose receipts from the public amounted to £ 221,133, being an average of £ 7,371 to each. Of the Privy Council ( i't wjre Members of Parliament j of these 47 were Peers, who received salaries, pensions, and emoluments, amounting annually to £ 387,848, being an average of upwards of £ 8,000; 22 were Members of the House of Commons, and received in the same way £ 90,849, being an average of £ 4,130 each. Be- sides the 69 Privy Councillors who were Members of Parliament, 29 held offices, or received emoluments SHREWSBURY RACES.— We learn with regret that there is at present, much doubt as to there being any Races this year— indeed it is ' questionable if this an- nual scene of gaiety, so important as it. litis always been to the interests of Charity, is not about to be among " the things that were, but are not."— We trust, however, that the Gentlemen of the County will assemble, and exert themselves to prevent such a state of things,— and we have the satisfaction of adding that J Cressett Pelliam, Esq.

It comprehends the KEMPS HO IT PARK AND SOUTHWOOD ESTATES, altogether near NINE HU N DRED ACR ES of LAND, lying exceedingly compact, together with the Manor and Riuins thereunto appertaining, desirably situate three miles below Basingstoke, the turnpike road to Winchester passing through the proper!) . Kempshott Park has so long held a distinguished place iu public opinion, thai to panegyrise it would partake of the work of supererogalion. There is, however, a more conclusive reason lo be found in the fact of this far famed seat having heen selected from all others as his favourite . sporting retreat by HIS MAJESTY THE KING, when he was Prince of Wales. This swigle circum- stance, while it al once silences all doubt, speaks volumes in ils favour, for no one has had the temerity to doubt the exceedingly fine taste of the Royal possessor. The following brief detail, is, therefore, offered only with a view to illumine those who have not hud the good fortune lo see it, THE MANSION IS SEATED in a beautifully timbered Pntk, diversified by much of hill and dale, and has for many a long year commanded Ihe commendation of the passing traveller. Amongst ils numerous advantages may he accounted one as rare as it is desirable—- that with the capability to accomo- date a distinguished family, it is so judiciously con trived, that one of more moderate pretensions may domicile here, without the great annoyance ( to use a homely phrase) of being 4t over- housedIl is, how- ever, conformably with ihe candour which it is believed is conspicuous in this hasty description to add, that although the subsianliahiliiy of the Mansion cannot be questioned., it needs such ornamental repair, as will give to the new possessor an opportunity of distin- guishing himself for taste somew hat opposed to thai which prevailed in ll » e olden timr- s; ' IHE PLEASURE GROUNDS AND PLANTATIONS are judiciously planned, aud of luxuriant Growth The Kitchen Gardens occupy nearl\ Five Acres, and for. the most Part are enclosed by lofty Brick Walls, clothed wi. ih Fruit Trees selected by the u Prince of Wales." There are Hoi and Forcing Houses, Pinery, and Melon Ground — in fine, every Thing that is sup- posed essential to contribute to Comfort will be found eonspieions here. Connected with this renowned Properly are two Farms, very pleasantly situate, and which may claim to be denominated THE TWO PARK FARMS, one of Which, verging on the Plantations, is in Hand ; ihe olher, containing 390 Acres, is on Lease ( al a very reduced Rent) tu Mr. LuViiigtou for Ten Years. Such is a shoitand necesvaiily- imperfect Description of Kempshott Park, aud w hich is respectfully suggested as a most desirable Purchase, either for Investment or Occupation, and it is lo be offered for Public Compe- tition, unattended by a reserved Pi ice.

THE MARLE HILL MANSION AND ESTATE hits very long been accounted the prominent Feature in the Vieinitv of THE FASHIONABLE WATERING PLACE OF CHELTENHAM, and, in Times long passed away, the Superiority ol the Mansion, and the Beauty of the Park Grounds, « ere alone sufficient to give it a preponderating Influence over any of its Contemporaries j but now that the " MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT^ has expended this renown* d Watering .

We confess ( says the Freeman's JournalJ, that We have ourselves often contemplated this establishment with some degree of h > pe and pride as Irisl'men—- an alleviation of fhe general desolation that surrounds us. When We find almost every olher species of manufactured corn- modify falling into decay in this country, and replaced by English importation and that Irish production is more and more every day becoming merely that of a raw material—- yve^ confess we have derived much pleasure in the day- notes of Liverpool and Bristol, that our Irish porter is every day finding its way. there in . increased quantities, and is preferred by John Bull to his native commodity. Neither has it diminished our satisfaction that the bead and the hand which brought one native manu- facture fo I his perfection, is one of the first of our fellow- citizens— amiable in private as patriotic in pub- lic Itfe, and ranking amongst, the most intelligent ami respected of our commercial men.

A VISIT ( SUPPOSED TO BE MADE IN THE YEA R 2,000) TO THE GRAND NATIONAL CEMETERY, REGENT'S PAUK [ From the British Magazine ] " Erected by a grateful nation In memory of The Right Hon. WJLLIAM COBBETT, M. P. Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mild and unassuming in his manners, actuated by tl. e purest integrity & uncompromising principles, the private virtues of this distinguished patriot and philosopher kept puce with bis public abiliti... Gifted with the profundity of a liaeon, and tbe philanthropy ufa Howard, be was of course a mark for the shafts of calumnyand abuse. Y. f though he possessed a mind singularly jen. itW., lie endured his wrongs in silence, lie never insulted an enemy, nnd never lost a friend. But the qualities that chiefly elevated bint above mankind were Modesty aud Disinterestedness. * He saved, not only his country, but Europe and America, when tiebodv else rould, for the trifling sum of sixpence... the price of bis Register." Beneath this appears ati interesting design, tlie principal feature in which is a gridiron ; and scattered about are fragments of platted grass and Indian corn. The follow in moment:— Houses for Hie sale of Beer were first licensed ill England in the time nf Edward the Sixth, by an act of the 5tii and fitli of that monarch ; and in the time of James the First, the power of licensing inns and alehouses was granted bv letters patent to certain individuals; but as great abuse was committed under this mode of collection, it was soon after placed on the same footing as any of the other branches of excise. This duty was not very productive, as appears from an abstract of the motley raised in England, for a period of nineteen years, viz. from November 3( 1, 16- 10, to November 5th, 1650, in which the whole amount of licenses is ralcd at £ 312,- 200. In 1663, tliev amounted to £ 20,000; in 1688, to £ 10,000. About this period, the ale and beer brewed in England came, on an average of some years, to 4,050,413 barrels of strong, and 2,254,006 barrels of small beer. In the year 1691, the quantity brewed by the common brewers in tbe city of London and its suburbs amounted to 1,222,764 barrels of strong beer and ale, and 865,831 barrels of small beer. But tbe duty upon these articles being doubled in that year, it set a number of private brewers to work, w hich so affected the licensed breweries, that in the year 1605, the annual quantity of strong beer and ale was reduced to 909,299 barrels, and the small brer to 813,824 barrels. In 1724, the quantity of » trong brer brew d in London and tile neighbourhood was 1,172,494 barrels, and of small beer 789,495 barrels, while in the whole of the kingdom the strong beer amounted to 4,075,871 barrels, and 2,465,695 barrels of small beer. The duty, as first imposed on beer, in 1660, by tbe 12th Charles II. and granted to him for life, was 2s. 6d. per barrel on strong, and 6d. on table beer This revenue was farmed till 1684, when it was placed under commissioners. For some years pre- vious to that time, it Was managed by George Dark- wood and partners In 1688, the excise on this article, clear of all deductions, amounted to £ 666,383. By flic 5th of William and Mary, in 1694, the duties were raised to 4s. 3( 1. on strong, and Is. 3d. on table beer; but Ihe products were not so great, and they afterwards continued to fluctuate according to the change of the duties. — The increase of pi pulation and tlic habits of the people have how rendered tbe consumption of this beverage prodigious; and not- withstanding that the duty at present is 10s. on every barrel exceeding 16s in value, and 2s. Off every barrel of 16s. value or under, the net amotfnt of tbe year's revenue for 1821 came to £ 2,549,620. 18s. 9,',( I. In 1504, ale was sold in England at 3d. per gallon; and it was about twenty years after, that hops were introduced, which is thus noticcd by an early writer: " Hops, reformation, bavs, and beer, " t ame, into England all iii one year." The use cf this plant in malt liquor was derived from Artois; and some say, though perhaps incorrectly, that this circumstance first gave that drink the name of beer, to distinguish it from the ancient anil softer malt liquor called ate. Vet it is certain that beer, as a beverage from malt, was known and used by that name long before. Hops were planted and grown in England in abundance in the reign of James the First, though as early as the time of Edward the Sixth land was set for their cultivation. The great supply, however, was drawn from abroad Until 1690, when, to encourage the home plantation, a duty of 20s. per cwt. over and above all other charges, was put upon what was imported ; and in 1710 the duty of Id. per pound was imposed upon all hops reared in England, and 3d. upon foreign. The trade in malt liquor in England employs an immense capital, since, besides what is consumed in the country, large shipments are annually exported. Ill another part of this essay, where the exports to India and China are stated, will be found an account of the quantities of this commodity sent to those countries. The following is the aggregate of the exports of strong beer for five years ending 5th of April, 1822, viz. For the year 1818 78,871 Barrels. 181 9 ,78,100 1820 47,102 182 1 58,246 1822...... 63,348 The brewing of porter, a drink which chiefly differs from ale and beer by being made with higher dried malt, commenced some time about the year 1722 Tbe discovery of - it is attributed to a person of the name of Harwood, who, to avoid tbe trouble of mix ing beer, ale, and twopenny, a species of drink then in demand, contrived to brew a liquor which would answer the same end ; and from its being purchased by porters, and snch like persons, it was ever after- wards distinguished by the name of porter. In the manufacture of this beverage tbe English have not been excelled by any other nation, ulthough it is imitated in most of Ihe countries of Europe. Tbe water of the Thames is said to be superior to any other for the making of it; but Mr. Richardson alleges that this is a mistaken idea, " as some of the principal brewers find the New River water equally- good. The specific gravity of the former is 1000.3, and its spissitude 1000.182, while the specific gravity of the latter is 1000.8, and its spissitude 1000 344. It is said that the annual quantity of porter brewed in London exceeds 1,346,345 barrels, of 36 gallons each; and that of porter and ale the consumption in the metropolis amounts to 2,000,000 of barrels. This vast supply ischicfly drawn from tbe breweries within the city, which, ill respect of size, style of building, and ingenuity of operations performed in them, are not surpassed, nor indeed equalled, by any other establishments of the kind in the world. il been limited to the three spots last mentioned to the exclusion of the first* as they all lie in tbe neighbourhood of human habitations. It is a sub- ject of regret to us, that we did not taste any of these wild fruits of the earth before tbe knobs we had brought with us were committed to the earth at Jalapa. We made another interesting observa- tion ou this spot ; namely, that a trochilus incloses the deep orange- coloured flowers of the Caslilieia;." Athenaeum. COBBETT'S LECTURE- SPEECHES. By an advertisement io our last Journal, our readers must have been aware that Mr. Cobbett has been delivering bis political lectures in Shrewsbury, as he bad previously done in various other parts of tbe kingdom, for the. plilipose of enlight- ening the " natives" on those subjects which have been the themes of his priuicd Registers for some years past. He lec- 111 red oil \ Vediiesdav to about 1( 10 individuals , and oil Thurs- day to about half that number. The mal. terof the lecturer was much in accordance with his milliner: and his " lecture, speeches" have been very well characterized and imitated by a writer in the Weekly Free Press, iu the following article.— Tbe " great political writer" is supposed to have arrived, at 0% fhrd, where a motley group having deposited their last shilling with the door- keeper of the ball of audience, tlie 11 Giant of f. iteiatnre" thus commences:— IRELAND. THE NATIVE POTATO. Every publication of our hebdomadal journal— nav, every hour— the affairs of this country, ns respects llrilish connexion, become more deeply and wriously interesting. We can remember no period more pregnant with imaginings, be they for good or had, as regards Ireland. One momentous considera- tion should be indelibly fixed in the minds of our present Statesmen— Ireland should tiev< r enter their thoughts, nor its name pass their lips, without the reflection, THAT THERE ts NOW NO GOVERNMENT TARTY IN THAT COUNTRY! What importance fjonrnmevt may attach to such an undeniable truth we know not; hut Ibis we, living on Ihe spot, and knowing something of public feeling, do know, that the estrangement of the Irish Protestants, from whom alone a valuable or efficient Government party could lie formed, has left a fearful chasm in the feelings of Irishmen— a chasm which, with the most poignant sorrow, hut without surprise, we believe to be rapidly filling with principles and dispositions, fat indeed from friendly or cordial to British connexion. We are well aware of the dangerous ground on which we venture, but il is a fearful, an awful time. Truth, if it happily reach to the hearts of our Rulers, may yet avert the tide of evil which is setting in with such rapid advances. Humble as we are, we shall purge our conscience of a concealment of w hat, we so deeply apprehend, and it is therefore that wc raise our warning voice. We confess ourselves to have never anticipated such results from Emancipation as are now so plainly before us. We feared much; but the open that lias been made for a union in feeling amongst all classes of Irishmen; the untoward coin- cidences which have, with such force, brought that united, and now exasperated, feeling to bear against some contemplated measures of the Imperial Parlia- ment; the • unimpeded current of public feeling regarding the proposed taxes ; all form such a com- bination as wc almost dread to look upon. But one sentiment appears to animate the Irish people 011 those measures, and, the Church and Religion ex- cepted, wc hardly know a question 011 winch a divi- sion of sentiment may be expected. There in note no Government party in Ireland.. This serious truth cannot be too frequently impressed. There was once such a party— one so powerful, so devoted to Eng- land, that we verily believe the united powers of tbe world could not subdue it ! An Act of Parliament has utmost effectually done so! Passing the present obnoxious measures, we should consider what acts of English Legislation will be more favourably received in Ireland: What Irishman, Orange or Popish, now desires to send a Ministerial Member to Parliament? VV'c greatly err if the portentous shadows which wc believe to indicate these darkly coming events, will not prove that hitherto the art. of governing has been but a children's game.— Star of Brunswick. Not fewer than 466 German broom- girls, anil 144 Italian minstrels and plasterers, have landed at Dover • ince the 1st of January last.

' Ihe subsequent account of the native polato is extracted from a letter addressed by Messrs. Sliiede null Dieppe lo Baron Humboldt. " In Ihe month of September, 1828, we made an excursion to Ihe volcano of Orizaba. Oil the 7th, we started from l'liebla de Tlachiihuca, and bega 1 to climb tbe western foot of that mountain. Though we were novices in mounting snowy regions, and possessed ample opportunities for makgitr observations of tbe natural character of the Tropic Alps as contrasted with the Tierra- Calienle and Tetnpluda, aud Ihe snowy altitudes of Europe, we must, on the present occasion, confine our remarks to what appeared most deserving of our noiice. In tbe vicinity of the spot where we slept the first night, lo our astonishment we found a little plant, which so closely resembled the potato, that we hunted for its roots in the confident hope of finding knobs: mid we actually met with them, though we were in- clined lo consider the plant as being merely a species of kin to the potato. In our endeavnttrs to procure a number of specimens we found some which justified us iu concluding that it was the parent of that vegetable. Upon a nearer examin- ation of the plant, which was scarcely three inches high, and had large blue flowers, standing singly or in pairs, as well as knobs lo its roots scarcely tbe size of haz 1- tiuts, wc could feel no doubt that it was neither more nor less than the potato on a dwarf scale ; indeed, we should be nt a loss to discover any difference between the two, exeepting iu tbe size. This plant occurs, though not fre- quently, on Ihe mountain ridges, under Ihe shade of the oyauiel, ocote, and tloscote ( a new species of pine which we met with on this trip), in the neigh- bourhood of bushy Caslilleise, a dydrophylluiu, the pcdiciilaris oequinoctiulis, and various vaccinia?, nnd at an elevation which we computed at 10,000 feet or somewhat more, taking the western base of the mountain to be 7,500 feet above the level of the sea. We had turned our backs upon every species of cultivation at a palenque ut the foot of the moun- tain: what further signs of vegetation occurrcd were nature's work. We met with nothing; indi- genous willi the haunts of man; nor is Ihe spot where we discovered the plant often visited by the snow carrier. For these reasons we conceive that we do not infer from false data in assuming that those potatoes grow in, and have not degenerated into, a' wild state. The Indians who accompanied us called tliein papas ciinaronas, and they assured us that they grow not only on the mountain, but iu tbe llanos near Tlachichuca, and in oilier places. In fact, we found them upon our return near the paletique at the foot of the Orizaba, as well us in the vicinity of the Lagilua de Huetulnca, aud ulti mutely lieur Perote. The plant of the high plains dithers from the Orizaba; it grows to a greater height, has white flowers, and is not stinted of blossoms as the latter, though its knobs are not much larger. The berry, which we found in great abundance near Huetulaca, is nearly of the same size with that of the domesticated plant. Wc should not have placcd much valuo on this discovery had Gentlemen,— I am happy to find that justice is done to my character and talents, by the presence of so large and so respectable an audience—( cheers) — convened together in this ancient city. 1 am de- lighted to see so many of the members of this renowned university, oncc the famous seat of learning and pictv, and even now, although somewhat dp- graded by the introduction of the beastly Scotch economy, comparatively respectable. Who can hate a stronger claim upon their attention than I have? 1, who have written a Grammar, price only 3s. in boards, and which, I verily believe, has doue more to promote real education, so far as correct speaking and writing go, than any book that ever was pub- lished. In that book, gentlemen, 1 have proved Dr. Johnson to be a blunderer, and lie received his diploma from this university. I have proved that Dr. Watts was a blunderer; anil his logic has been received into this university. 1 have proved that Dr. Lowth was a blunderer; and he was a lecturer in this university. If, then, I have proved that Watts, and Lowth, and Johnson, were ignorant of their own language, it is clear that / am a greater man than ciihcr of them. ( Hear, hear, hear.) This is so clear, so obvious, so beyond all contradic- tion, that he who does not believe it, is either the most ( lull, fhe mo « t stupid, or the moat insensible reptile that ever crawled upon the earth. ( Cheers J Well, then, if /, who have accomplished more than any oilier man ever did, if I have a claim to general regard, l have an especial claim on the attention of the members of this university, which university is one of the most splendid monuments of the piety, wisdom, and wealth of our Catholic ancestors,— ( hisses, and some covfusiov,)— as 1 have proved, bevond all controversy, in my " History of the Protestant Reformation," a work of which two edi- tions arc now On sale; one in duodecimo, ( which word means a sheet divided into twelve parts,) fitted for the pocket of an undcr- graduate, and another in large 8vo. adapted for the library of a learned pro- fessor. But 1 demand your attention, not only on account of my personal character, not only on account of my reputation as THE great political writer; I demand your attention, not only on these accounts, but because the subject on which it is my design to instruct you, is of such importance to this now abject and degraded, but oncc great, and power- ful, and rich, and free, and happy nation. There is a complete set of Registers, ( the only one that 1 know of,) to be sold at my shop in Fleet street. All letters must he post- paid. ( Loud and long continued laughter. J But those who cannot afford time to read and copy fairly the whole of my Registers, may beeome completely master of the srtrbjcct, if they arc not made of impenetrable stuff, by reading atten- tively my chief political work, " Paper against Gold," a new edition of which is no* published, price 5s. and may be had at Fleet- street. In September, 1819, I being at Long Island, wrote a Register, which was published in London in the next November. In that Register, I declared, that if evef Peel's bill were carried into full effect, I would give my body to be broiled on a gridiron. ( Gentlemen, you sec that 1 am not broiled yet.) The government, however, persisted in the measure, and you now witness the result,— Want, famine, misery indescribable. Tax- payers ruined, tax- receivers sharing the spoil, and ull this, because Ihe taxes are demanded in void if full weight and fineness; that is, in mo » cy of three times the Value of that in which they have lieen imposed. This would not hare been the case if I hud been prime minister. I offered myself fo fhe king* and lliat offer ought to have been accepted, because I had amplv proved that 1 was stored with tiie requisite knowledge. My claims, my qualifications, were known to thousands. I made tbe offer in perfect seriousness; I was rejected, and you see the conse- quenccs. The country is ruined. But, gentlemen, you have the Duke of Wellington, the hero of Waterloo, fhe knight of a hundred orders, with his boots, and places', and streets, and bridges, and palaces, and triumphal arches, and " great staring Achilles;" you have the " Great Duke" for your minister, and the Whigs, the corrupt Whigs, the beastly Whigs, unite with the Tories to praise him The press, too, the Vile press, the base, vulgar, calum- niating press — the daily, the weekly, the monthly press; newspapers, pamphlets, anil magazines— cock- ney scribblers, and great staring- high cheek- boned- mangy Scotch feelosophcrs. " These all agree la soaping him, and splashing mc." As I cannot drub them, the best and shortest way to reply to all their charges and accusattdris, about inconsistency anil money- making, is to say to them all at once, YOU LIE! You base and ungrateful mon- sters, you lie.' ' they charge me with inconsistency ! The stupid brutes, who have not the brains to dis- cover my meaning! You, my disciples, will not believe the charge, for you da understand me. Once more, 1 defy them all to prove that I have lost a single friend", provoked a single enemy, or ever once changed my opinions. Gentlemen, these charges are the offspring of envy— that envy which my rare talents have kept alive. But the rascals shall blush yet, if blood be left in their checks. The scoundrels, who all deserve to be cudgelled, shall all be made to blush, when 1 hold the feast of the gridiron. I do not appeal to history, 1 do not care what posterity shall sav; I am for having my revenge now; and have it I shall, in spite of all the tri( ks and shifts which these villains playoff. Yes, / will hare the feast: 1 will laugh tlienj and taunt tbe wretches, and enjoy a triumph, if ever man did. ( Great cheering. J Still, degraded as the country now is- it cannot always remain so ; an equitable adjustment must at last take place, and then England will revive again.

We subsequently stated, that the sentence was re- spited, and, as appears, on very good grounds: the case having ben published in the newspapers, it became known, on enquiry, that no such person as this Stanley had ever lived in Oswestry ; and there is reason to believe he is the person who attempted a similar diabolical imposture near Wolverhampton in February, 1829— he then called himself Fisher.— T. L. Longueville, Esq. of Oswestry, and Sir John Wrot- tesley, Bart, have interested thcifiselves much and successfully on behalf of the unfortunate victims of this villain's most horrid perjury. LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND— In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Mr. HUME moved that an humble Address Should be presented to His Majesty, to take into consideration Whether the government of Ireland by a viceroy was any longer necessary, and whether that office might not be abolished. On a division, the motion was negatived by a majority of 229 to 114; but from the tone of the debate, it would seem very probable that the abolition of the office will take place before many years have elapsed, and that lords lieutenants of counties will be appointed in Ireland as in England, and the whole of the local administration there assimilated to that of Great Britain. At the Poole ( Dorset) Easter Quarter Session, Mr. G. L. Parrott, a naval officer on half- pay, appealed against his appointment as Overseer of the Poor. His ground of appeal was, that half- pay officers are exempted from tilling parochial situations.— The Court, after hearing the case, confirmed the appoint- ment. CURIOUS MISTAKE.—- Sir William Ingilbv has long been noted for his plainness of dress, a circum- stance which has occasioned ludicrous mistakes, an instance of which has recently occurred. At the last York Assizes Sir William was summoned as a grand juryman, and accordingly presented himself at the door leading to the apartment of that distinguished body. His appearance was such a contrast to the well- dressed, sleek, perfumed gentry who had pre- ceded him, that the bailiff, after eyeing him suspi- ciously, refused his admission. In vain did Sir William declare he was a grand juryman : the officer thought, it a mere joke; and it was only by urgent application that his declaration was attended to.— Morning Herald. The French expedition against Algiers is " pro- gressing"— according- to the phrase of Jonathan,— but not with that alacrity which characterizes such matters on this side of the Channel. However, what is deficient in promptitude is amply made up by parade and the " pomp and circumstance of war"— and the affair is getting up in a way likely to gratify the national vanity. It is to be a spectacle, in the Gallic meaning of the word, and his highness the Dey ought to be much indebted to King Charles for the timely notice which he has given of the approaching storm. Independent of transport ships, numerous vessels are fitting out on private account for the accommodation of the admirers of bombardments; and floating hotels, in the shape of steamers, are announced to accompany the expedition. Indeed, rumour says that a squadron of the British Yacht Club is preparing for sea, from which the attack is to be vsewed at a respectable distance from the guns of the Mole. All this is very well— in its way,— and so far as effect is considered, it will be a truly lamentable matter should the bombardment not take place in the night. The attack, nevertheless, in our very humble opinion— of rather the successes of the attack,— is not quite such a nhratter of course affair as the French ministry anticipate : it is true the materiel, in ships, men, and guns, is quite imposing enough— but it is doubtful if our neighbours' navy list contains a com- mander qualified, like Exmouth, to carry his iron arguments into the windows of tbe Dev's Seraglio. It appears from an official account that the num- ber of steam vessels at present employed in the United Kingdom, is 331, making 30,566 tons, and employing 2870 men. We spoke last week of the increased employrtient of our working population, as denoted by a material diminution in tbe number seeking relief at the House of Industry. We learn now, with much gratification, that the applicants, for some weeks past, have been upon an average of fifty less, as compared with the spring of last year, and that it is in a great measure to the amended state of the gloving trade, the change for the better in the situation of our industrious chisses, which is thus shewn, is to be attributed.— Worcester Hera d. In the new Stamp Act, Soda Water, in bottles, and friar's Balsam, about which tlwre haVe been so many disputes with the Stamp Office, are expressly- exempted from the neces> i! y of using stamps. Immense quantities of scats or shads, have this and the last week been taken in the neighbourhood of Carmarthen, in the river Towy. 200 dozen were taken by one net, in the course of a morning, which weighed on an average If lbs. each fish. Tney were sold at from two to three for one penny. On Sunday ni lit la^' j one of th 1 nu-. s* tremendous events happened iu Suuderl; nl harbour that ever occurred there. About a quarter past eiirht o'clock, the Durham packet, \ vhi< h was lyiriy loaded ready for sea? broke from h « r moorings ; n eo tseque. ee of the heavy fresh w hich was running rapidly down the barb'nr. The ship was hurned'with dreadful hlpetuosiiy against the next tier of ships, which were at once driven from their moorings; aud in a few minutes every ship which was afloat on the south side of the Wear, below the Ferry- boat land- ing tier, was drifting towards the sea. The vessels, however, stopped near Hardcastle slip, aud formed a complete dam across the river for nearly half an hour, during which time the water rose several feet. At hist a sloop situated about the centre of the fleet was forced out by the extreme violer. ee of the flood, and immediately the whole of the ships drifted to the entrance of the harbour, where they grounded and stopped, the tide being out. The damaire done was immense. If is calculated that at least from 65 to 75 ships have suffered more or less. The scene is truly heart- rending— ships dismasted, bow- sprits lost, vessers in a state of complete wreck, and six or eiuht sunk, present a distressing appearane Tiie number of keels sunk in the harbour and driven out to sea and lost has not been accurately ascer- tained, but it is very great. Lord Londonderry's floating drop is lying sunk in the river. On the north side of the river, a ship which was being built on, we believe, Mr. Story's yard, has been washed off the stocks, or rather her supporters have been washed from under her. The damage, however, with this exception, was entirely amongst the ships lying on the south side of the river. We are sorry to add, that the master of the Windham unfortunately got both his legs broke in the midst of the confusion on Sunday night.— Tyne Mercury. THF.

Mr. J. R. Mortimer deposed to knowing the prisoner in a draper's shop in Portsmouth, in 1824, and produced the hand- writing of the prisoner, who described himself as Richard Wimpole. Mr. Minchin, in defending the prisoner, said, that if the Magistrates considered tbe evidence adduced against him sufli- cientlv clcar and conclusive to commit him, he had nought to say ; what he had heard at his last examination did not substantiate a single charge against the prisoner, but, the evidence adduced this day, had certainly assumed a more tangible shape, and a more identified form. Dr. Quarrier repro- bated, in strong terms, the base conduct of the prisoner, and informed him, that after a most minute, impartial, and deliberate bearing, they felt they were bound to commit him to the Assizes at Winchester to take his trial. The prisoner was accordingly com- mitted, under the Act 7th and 8th Geo. IV. chap 29, sec. 53, for a misdemeanour, which subjects the prisoner to seven years' transportation.

LORD TTTULTLO tv— Of the eloquence of Lord Thnrlow, and of his manner in debate, Mr. Butler has given a striking account:—" At times Lord Thurlow was superlatively great. It was the good fortune of the Reminiscent to hear his celebrated reply to the Duke of Grafton, during the inquiry into Lord Sandwich's administration of Greenwich Hospital. His Grace's action and delivery, when he addressed the house, were singularly disrnified and graceful; but his matter was not equal lo his muiner. He reproached Lord Thurlow with bis plebeian extraction, and his recent admission into the peerage: particular circumstances caused Lord Thin low's reply to make a deep impression on the Reminiscent. His lordship had spoken too often, and began to be heard with a civil but visible im- patience. Under these circumstances he was at lacked in the manner we have mentioned. He rose from the woolsack, and advanced slowly to the place from which the chancellor generally addresses the house; then fixine on the duke the look of Jove when lie grasps the thunder, ' I am amazed,' he said, in a level tone of voice, ' at the attack the noble duke has made on me. Ye » , my lords,' con- siderably raising bis voice, ' I am amazed at his grace's speech. The noble duke cannot look be- fore him, behind him or on either side of him, with- out seeing some noble peer who owes his seat in this house lo his successful exertions in the pro- fession lo which I belong:. Does he not feel that il is as honourable to owe it to these, as to being the accident of au accident ? To all these noble lords the language of the noble duke is as applicable uud as iusultintr a « it is to myself. But 1 don't fear to meet it single and alone No one venerates the peerage more than I do ;— but; my lords, I must say, that the peerage solicited me, uol 1 ihe peerage. Nay, more 1 can say, and will say, that as a pe r of parliament, as speaker of this right honourable house, us keeper of the great seal, as guardian of his majesty's conscience, a « lofd high chancellor of England, nay, even in that character alone io which the noble duke would think it an affront io be con sidered,— as a man, I am at this moment as re- spectable,— I beg leave to add,— I am at this moment as much respected, as the proudest peer I now look down upon.* The effect of this speech, both within the walls of parliament and out of them, WITS pro- digious. It gave Lord Thnrlow an ascendancy in tbe house which no chancellor bad ever possessed : it invested him in public opinion, with a character of independence and honour; and this, though lie was ever on the unpopular side in politics, made him always popular with the people." KING'S COLLEGE.— The main building ( the front of which faccs Ihe west, and is rather more than three hundred feet in length,) will stand upon Ihe same ground level with the Strand, lu order lo ac- complish this, a lofty sub- structure is raising, of which the portion immediately beneath the front will be appropriated to tbe purposes of the iiistitu tion, and contain a series of Spacious accommoda- tions for the students of the high s: liool, or loicer department as it is called ; as well as certain rooms connected with the college, or higher department. Among the former w ill be one school- room seventy- two feet long and fifty- two feet broad, and another, sixty by rather more than thirty feet; besides con- venient class- rooms, refreshment- rooms, offices, & c. These form the basement, above which is the ground- floor, where are the various entrances to the higher department. This floor will comprise eight lecture- rooms, the largest being about sixty by- forty feel); attached to which are as many apart- ments for tlie use of the professors— a ball for public examinations, & c. above seventy feet long; a noble public hall of entrance, and an entrance to the li'cture- roonis for the students; and adjoining the southern extremity of the front, by laming im- mediately westwards and facing the Thames, the grouud- floor of the principal's residence, the erection of which will complete the eastern wing of Somerset House. The first floor will contain the chapel, of the same dimensions as the hall for examinations, & c.— calculated for the accommodation of nearly one thousand auditors ; two excellent lecture- rooms, with private rooms attached; fourteen apartments, of suitable size, for scientific collections, museums, libraries, & c. The second floor is also susceptible of being applied lo various purposes, which, so far as we can learn, will not receive any specific ap- propriation until experience shall show in what manner it can be most beneficially applied. We understand that Ihe halls and rooms for the lower department, on the basement floor, are amply suffi- cient for the accommodation of between four and five hundred pupils; and that those for the higher department will afford space for the convenient re- ception of two thousand students. It is confidently calculated, as we gathered from tbe report tead at the annual meeting on the 30th ultimo, that both of these departments will be opened in the autumn of the ensuing year; though hopes are entertained that the high school may be ready at a somewhat ra' lier period. As all access from the quadraugle of Somerset House will be closed, a separate entrance to the College will be formed across the site of th two houses recently pulled down ; and facing the New Church in the Strand — Literary Gazette. AMUSING ANECDOTE.— Previously to his elevation to the sovereignty, Jerome Bonaparte led a life of dissipation at Paris, and was much in the habit of frequenting the theatres and other public places of amusement. He had formed an intimacy with some young authors at that time in vogue for their wit and reckless gaiety. On the evening after bis nomination to the crown of Westphalia, he met two of his jovial companion* just as lie was leaving the theatre. " My dear fellows," said he, " 1 am delighted to see you ! 1 suppose you know that I have been created King of Westphalia ?" " Yes, Sire, and permit us to be among the first to —" " Eh ! what! you are cere- monious, mcthinks: that might pass, were 1 sur- rounded by my court; but, at present, away with form, and let's have the same friendship, the same free and easy gaiety as before,— and now let's be off to supper." Jerome, upon this, took his friends to one of the best restaurateurs in the Palais Royal. The trio chatted and laughed, and said and did a thou- sand of those foolish things which, when unpremedi- tated, are so delightful. Conversation, it may be supposed, was not kept up without drinking. When the wine began lo take effect, " My good friends," said Jerome, " why should we quit each other ? If you approve of my proposal, yuti shall accompany me. You, C—, shall be my secretary, as for you P — who are fond of books, I appoint you my librarian." The arrangement was accepted, and instantly ratified over a fresh bottle of Champagne. At last the party began to think of retiring, and called for the bill. Jerome produced his purse; but tiie King of West- phalia, whose royal treasury had not as yet been established on a regular fooling, could find only two louis which formed but a small portion of two hun- dred francs, the amount of the restaurateur's demand. The new dignitaries, by clubbing their worldly wealth, could muster about three francs. What was to be done ? Atone o'clock in the morning, where cutM resoutccs be found? It was at last deemed expedient to send for the master of the house, and acquaint him how matters stood. He seemed to lake the frolic in good part, and merely requested to know the names of the gentlemen who had done him the honour to sup at his house. " I am secretary to the King of Westphalia." " And I librarian to his Ma- jesty." " Excellent!" cried the restaurateur, who now set his company down as sharpers ; " and that noodle yonder is, no doubt, the King of Westphalia himself?" " Precisely," said Jerome, " I am the King of Westphalia." " Gentlemen, you are pleased to be facetious, but we shall see presently how the commissary of police will relish the joke." " Fur heaven's sake!" exclaimcd Jerome, who began to dislike the aspect of the affair, " make no noise: since you doubt us, I leave my watch, which is worth ten times the amount of our bill;" at the same time giving the host a magnificent watch, which had been a present from Napoleon, and on the back of which was tbe Emperor's cipher in brilliants. The friends were then allowed to leave fhe house. On examining the watch, the restaurateur concluded that it had been stolen, and took it to the commissary of police. The latter, recognizing the imperial cipher, ran with it to the prefect, the prefect to the minister of the interior, and the minister to the emperor, who was at Saint Cloud. The result of the whole was, that on the following morning The Moniteur contained an ordonnance, in which the King of Westphalia was enjoined to repair to his government forthwith ! and prohibited from conferring any appointment till his arrival in his capital!— Memoirs and Revelations of a Page of the Impjriul Coun t. THE ELDON TESTIMONIAI..— A numerous meet- ing of the subscribers to the fund for presenting to Lord F. ldon a testimonial for tbe services rendered by that Noble Earl to the country, was held at the Thatched- liouse Tavern, St. James's- street. There were present, Lord Mansfield, Earls Romney, Browrt- low, Faversham, Viscount Falmouth, Aylesbury, Sif C. Wet here!!, & c. & c.— The Duke of Richmond wan called to the chair, and addressed the meeting at some length. He stated that it was intended to found a Scholarship in the University of Oxford, with the proceeds of the subscriptions, to be called aftcf Lord Eldon, to bring up a student who intends to follow the profession followed by the Noble Earl.— » From a statement oCthe amount of the subscriptions, it appeared that the amount received up to that day was £ 7,595. 15s.; from which was to be deducted £ 346. 18s. for management, leaving an available balance of £ 7,292 applicable to the purposes intended. — Considerable discussion took place on the resolu- tion for carrying into effect Ihe objects of the sub- scribers. It was proposed to give £ 203 per annum to the student on whom tbe choice fell to partake of tbe benefits contemplated, but who, it is required, shall have passed the first class in some branch of education, anil be a Protestant of the Church of England. A series of resolutions were adopted, aud it was understood, that should the increase of sub- scriptions be sufficient, another student should be provided for in the University of Oxford.— The reso- lutions were adopted, and tbe Bishop of Armagh, the Duke of Richmond, EarLWincbilsea, Earl Mansfield, and Earl Falmouth, the Bishop of Durham, Lord Tcnterden, and others, were appointed trustees to carry the resolutions into effect.— After thanks had been returned to the chairman tbe meeting adjourned. SHOCKING CIRCUMSTANCE— A person of th* name of Robert Churley, residing in tbe parish of Uffcultn, owed his brother Thomas a sum of money, for which the latter obtained, in the early part of ths week, a writ of distress. Hi. goods were accordingly seized, and he became dreadfully exasperated against his brother, whom he frequently threatened to shoot, and for which purpose he attempted to borrow the gun of tbe bailiff in possession, but which was of course refused. On Thursday he went to a neighbour. Of tlie name of Sweetland, who was unacquainted with his murderous purpose, and procured hi. gun, with which he proceeded to Ihe residence of his bri.-' llicr. The latter was, fortunately for himself, absent at Tiverton ; when Sweetland, bearing of his diabolical intention, followed him, and insisted on having the gun restored. Churley refused to give it up, and in the struggle which ensued between him and Svreet- land, the latter was shot in the stomach so dreadfully that his entrails obtruded. Churley immediately cut his throat in three places, of which he died, and Wo arc sorfv to state that Swectland is not ex|> ected to survive.— Exeter Gazette. CAUTION— As even lii.

So. many minerals glitter on their . surface which are not sterling ore;— so many youthful minds, under the excitement of early scholarship, give promise ot powers that their ma^ turity will not realize!— And even when " the light that leads astray is really light from heaveu,'* what attractions and what irreplaceable pleasures does a woman renounce, who places the reprobation of the laurel upon her brow \ Depend upon if, that next to the solitude of a throne, there is nothing like the loneliness of authorship.-— No one addressee a distinguished writer in a natural or confidential tone; he is believed to be disdainful of the humblo charities of life, and indifferent to its ordinary interests. If a novelist— we fancy that he ** taking notes" of our weaknesses, and examining our moral qualities, as a naturalist Axes his micro* scope on a beetle or a snail;— if a philosopher, We feel in his presence like Gulliver, hid in the thimble of Glumdalclitch. Now for a man— a mere dry, broad- clothed ratiocinations mati, to gird on a gorgon's head and petrify society, is no sacrifice; for it is the vocation of his sex to act the colossus. But a woman has deeper and purer happiness in store.— Manners of the Day. MATRIMONY.— We subjoin the following for the entertainment of our fair readers. It is taken from the last number of the Co^ k Mercantile Chronicle s " Two gentlemen ( both under thirty years of age) who are on the eve of going abroad, in situa-* tions equally honourable and advantageous, under the British government, are anxious to form suita- ble matrimonial engagements previously to their leaving this country, to the society of which, having but lately arrived in Ireland, they have the mis- fortune to be perfect strangers. " The suddenness of their proposed departure preventing them from using the more preferable mode of being introduced to the ladies of Ireland, they are under the necessity, in spits of vulgar prejudice, to adopt this medium of expressing l^. eir wishes, and should any parent, or young lady with* out natural protectors, honour the advertisers by noticing this with a view to the attainment of the object of this communication, every satisfaction, as to their situation, family, and property, will be instantly aflurded ; but at the same time it is neces- 8 xrv to add, in order to the prevention of either in?- I roper or ridiculous replies, to state, that any party replying to this will be expected to leave at the office of the publisher of this paper, a note addressed to * R. L. E L.' containing such information as may lead to an immediate interview and explanation. " The qualifications ittdispensible are— a pleasing person— a lady- like education— a respectable family. Of all others the advertisers themselves would hope to be enabled to judge; and as to fortune, it is to - them au object of indifference." What a Damon and Pythias, a Nisus and Euryalns, must not this brace of bachelors be. They have but one address for both of them ! Should there be but one application, although, at the very least, there should be two to prevent jealousy, which bf them will reply to it? Or, should there be many, and that they both happen to approve of the same one, what is to be done? We presume the youtjg emigrants have managed these natters between themselves; but we are apprehensive thnt they have adopted a plan which the proverbial pride of the fair lasses of this isle will not exactly approve of. Were one of them to apply as above, it would be a manifest proposal for either of the two heroes; and we think there are few of them who, under those eircuu stances, if Jack refused them, wodid offer themselves to Jill.— Dublin Morning Post.
