Recent events seem to concur, and give additional weight to this suggestion. The Htuatiou of this property canuot well be IOO much commended ; it is in the IIIOKI ricli and fertile part, and has uniformly been accounted THE GARDEN OF WARWICKSHIRE, within two miles of the rcnovmed Castle, and onlv three miles distant from one of the most fashionabfc watering places in England, THE LEAMINGTON SPA; while the memorable town which gave birth to our immortal Bard is within seven short miles. The um- brageous walks within this interesting domain, extend more than two miles and a half, und the property ncliides nearly THE WHOLE PARISH OF SHERBOURN, divided into convenient dairy farms, in the occupation of a highly respectable and contented tenantry. This latter allusion, though one of rare occurrence in the school of agriculture, is not difficult of solution. The fa rip residences throughout partake of the character of gentlemen's abodes ; the land proudly challenges a comparison any where; the markets in the vicinity are highly favourable ; and though last, not least, IT IS FREE FROM TITHE, INCLUDING 1271 ACRES OF PRODUCTIVE LAND. It should have been remarked, that there are two Mansions, with corresponding offices, couuected with this line Properly, called SHERBOURN AND MOREVILLE HOUSE, vis- a- vis to each other, seated in finely wooded parks, and only separated by Ihe turnpike road to Stratford- tipou- Avon. Immediate possession may be had of tlio latter. The parks, pleasure grounds," gardens, and plantations appertaining to each have for many a long year been the subject < if ihe traveller's praise. Also THE A DVOWSON OF SHERBOURN, with a Glebe of 11(.) Acres. The church of Sherhonrii is small, but its internal arrangement — its beautiful! v painted windows of ancient date, and monuments, are all of superior order, and will gratify the antiquarian and curious. THE FISHERY EXTENDS ONE MILE, independently of two of Trout Fishing. The MANOilS AND MANORIAL RIGHTS extend over about 1300 acres of land, and three packs of fox- humid* are within reach.

Tiieir conlents arc highly important. Accounts are Slid to have reached Paris, which state that Prince Frederick hail entered Brussels at the head of his troops, that the Dutch flag was floating over the walls, and that the members of the Provisional Government had ficil to France for refuge. This news is confirmed in some respects bv Ihc Flanders papers which arrived this morning. It' would appear that anarchy and mob rule had induced Ihe respectable portion of the inhabitants to call for Ihe aid of Ihc Prince and his troops, to preserve their lives and their property from heing pillaged; and lhat ( lie populace were overthrown by Ihe troops, whose entrance into the city they resisted. The Commission appointed hy the French Chamber of Deputies, lo examine into the charges against tbe ex- minislers, have delivered in their report, in which they accuse them of treason, and require that arrangements be immediately made to bring the accusation before the Chamber of Peers for adjudication.

Sir John VYrottisley, Bart Thomas Whitmore, Esq. M. P. Francis Lawlev, Esq. M. P. Charles Tennyson, Esq M. P. and many other distinguished individuals, dined, by special invitation, with the High Bailiff of Birmingham, at. his official dinner, givetf at the Royal Hotel, in that town.— His Grace on this occasion, as at. Manchester, did not make any allusion to political circumstances— Sir John YVrottesley and Mr. Tennyson, in tbe course of the evening, expressed their hopes that tbe inhabitants of Birmingham would shortly be empowered to send Representatives to Parliament, there to watch over the important interests of that great scat of domestic manufacture. On Friday, the remains of the late Right Hon William Muskisson were committed to the grave, at the New Cemetery, Liverpool, to which they were attended by upwards of sixteen hundred- gentlemen in mournings All the shops, public oftices, & c. in the town, were closed until the termination, of the ceremony, and the church bells werd tolled during the day. Willianr Ewar't, Esq a native of Liverpool, and a gentleman of the Canning and Huskisson school of politics, has offered himself as a candidate for the vacancy in the representation of that seat of commerce. Mr. Ev/ art was a member of the last Parl a > w nt The two Companies formed for the purpose of constructing Railways between Birmingham and London have coalesced; and they intend to apply to Parliament next Session for an Act to empower them to carry their plans info execution. Since the Manchester and Liverpool Railway has b en opened many parties nave travelled along it The journey generally occupies an hour and forty minutf- s. The effect of carrying passengers begins alnadv, as might be expected, to shew itself very decidedly upon the old Liverpool stagQ- coaches. They are now travelling comparatively empty, and the proprietors have considerably reduced the fares. A further reduction is- immediately expected. The Exeter Luminary says—". We understand that the translation of our present respected Diocesan to Bangor is no longer doubtful.'* The late Miss Harriet. Smith, of Evesham, has bequeathed to the Worcester Infirmary a legacy of Jive hundred pounds, payable on her decease, and ox'C thomand pounds, payable on the decease of her sister, Miss Louisa Ann Smith, of that town. The Rev. John Garbett, M. A. ha'iwbeen instituted by Ihe Lord Bishop of the diocese to the Rectory of St. George's, in Birmingham, on the presentation of the Patrons of St. Martin's, in that town. In addition to the great St. Lcger Stakes won on Tuesday at Doncaster by Mr. Bcardsvvorth's celebrated borse " Birmingham," he carried off on Friday last, a Sweepstakes of 30 sovs. each, 22 subscribers, beating, with seven pounds extra, Lord Scarborough's " Chancellor," Mr. Kiddell's " Emancipation," and the Duke of Leeds's " Redstart." On Thursday, whilst the family were at Dover races, some thieves entered the dwelling- house of G. Jennings, Esq at Buckland, and having ransacked tiie closet, got clear off with silver plate, consisting of spoons, forks, slices, & c. in value amounting to nearly £ 70. This loss, though deplored by all the friends of the above gentleman, has occasioned considerable merriment here. At the last election Mr. Jennings was the chairman of the committee of C. P. Thomson, Esq. M. P. who having, declined this year to give his proportion to the usual members' plate at. the above races, the thieves, it is thought, heard of tbe circumstance, and considered that as the mem- • bers' plate was not to be run for, they might as well run off with the worthy chairman's.— Kentish Gazette sovs added by the Racing Committee ; heats, once round and a distance.

On Tuesday and Thursday, the weather was not so favourable; but the sport on those days was much better than could have been anticipated. The Hon. Thomas Kenyon and J. C. Pelham, Esq. M. P. have been chosen Stewards for next year ; and there can be no doubt that every means will be Used by them to render the next Races attractive. The Ordinaries were well attended; asid after dinner on Thursday much discussion took place as to the arrangements for future Races. A gentleman present, who has taken much interest in the re- establishment of the races, expressed his opinion that, as Shrewsbury was a County Town, if the King's Hundred could be obtained, it would be a great means of promoting the success and spirit Of the annual meeting; and seeing a Noble Lord present to whom the country was already so deeply indebted, and whose station enabled him to do much towards giving effect to any suggestion that would tend to the general benefit, be trusted his Lordship would use his best endeavours to obtain for Shrewsbury the Roy al gift.. The Noble Lord, in reply, said that when he last had the honour of dining with His Majesty at Windsor, His Majesty was very graciously pleased to call for a bumper toast to " All Friends round { he Wrekin;" and expressively observed how much he had been pleased, on passing through Shropshire, with the general appearance of the county,• with its cultivation, and with its cultivators, at the same time mentioning with esteem the names of several Noblemen and Gentlemen that he bad on that occasion the pleasure of meeting. His Majesty also adverted to the circumstance of Shropshire being a seat of the iron manufacture, aiid the county wherein all the iron- work was cast and wrought which now formed that national monument of science— the Menai Bridge. The Noble Lord again referred to this kind expression of His Majesty's good opinion of fhe county and its residents, and stated his own willingness to do every thing in bis power to contribute to the attainment of so desirable an object as that which had just been suggested. Among the various channels through which the stream of christian benevolence pursues its . fertilizing course to the ocean of charity, those Institutions which have for their express design the cultivation, of the mind, and tire alleviation of those misfortunes which the casualties of life and tbe infirmities of human nature render mankind alike heir to, afford undoubtedly the safest application of real beneficence, being, in a treasure, free from that imposition with which an indiscriminate charily has unfortunately so often to contend. From the mos{ remote period the virtuous breast has cultivated the sublime desire of mitigating, as far as possible, the pain and wretchedness consequent upon disease and suffering,— hence we find that the munificence which characterized our forefathers centuries ago, was not altogether confined to the erection of numerous places for Divine Worship, and for which our town was early distinguished, but that Ihe pleasing pain of sympathy prompted them also to build and endow " HOSPITALS1' for the reception of the sick and diseased, and " Almshouses'" for the aged and infirm. The first record we possess of the existence of such charitable foundations in Shrewsbury, is as early as the time of Henry the Second, beside an " Infirmary" founded by Earl Roger de Montgomery, within the precinct of the " Abbe;>/," as an asylum for diseased and superannuated Monks, a fragment of which erection yet remains. The rapacity, however, which disgraced the dissolution of Monasteries and < vliat: ever sustained the character of a " Religious House," has, with a solitary exception, rendered these ancient Hospitals defunct;— nor was it until the commencement, of the last century that, the attention of the public was particularly directed to the foundation of Hospitals or Infirmaries, and which, from the number of Hospitals erected in'the course of that period, will, no doubt, be a memorable age in the annals of Medical C h a r i t i e s w h i l s t it may be n* o mean compliment to our town and count J? to mention that its inhabitants early caught the rising spark of this generous flame, and had the distinguished honour of being the second in the kingdom to form the way in establishing a Provincial Asylum on the basis of p u b l i c b e n e v o l e n c e , — T H E SALOP I N F I R M A R Y having commenced ils salutary . operations in the year 1747. TfYe rntifding which preceded, the present stately erection, having been originally designed for a private residence, and although repeatedly enlarged and improved, being found to be insufficient- for the accommodation of the additional number of patients consequent, upon an increasing population, as well as inconvenient in many respects for tlie purpose it was designed to fulfil, a meeting was convened on November 17th, 1825, to consider of the then state of the building, and to adopt such measures as the necessity of affording additional means of accommodation required. On the 18th July, 1820; the committee appointed at this meeting read their report of the plans made for erecting a New Infirmary, and for repairing the old edifice with the addition" of two wings After mu£ lf important consultation, it was resolved, that the report be Circulated among the subscribers, and another meeting- held on the 16th November, in the. ensuing Hunt Week ; when it was unanimously resolved, that tbe existing building being found confined, inconvenient, and ruinous, a New Infirmary should be built on the present site, at the estimated cost of £ 16,000. As there was, however, much disinclina tion on the part of the subscribers present to take so large a sum from the funds of the Institution, a consider- hie portion of which, having been bequeathed for its support, was, therefore, deemed sacred, a subscription was resolved upon, and commenced immediately, when nt) less than £ 4,666 was subscribed by the noblemen and gentlemen then present,~ a truly noble example of Salopian ( jererositt;. In the month of Apr if, 1827, the patients were removed to a temporary Infirmary, arranged in the Shrewsbury House of industry; on which, workmen immediately commenced taking down the old building, and with such speed that, on the 19th of July, the anniversary of our late revered Monarch's coronation, the ceremony of laying the first stone of the new building was performed by the Right Hon. Lord Hill, assisted by the late Venerable Archdeacon Owen, some of the committee, with the contractors and surveyor.— His Lordship, in a neat speech, congratulated the assemblage of persons as to the utility of the undertaking— the great zeal and liberality displayed by the inhabitants of the county in furthering its accomplishment— the assiduity of the committee appointed to superintend the work — and fhe estimation they had of the talents of the architects and contractors, and which had been confirmed by the surveyor.— The late Venerable Archdeacon Ovvert offered up a prayer, imploring the Divine blessing on the work commenced— the stone was lowered to its intended position— three blows from the mallet, and hearty cheers from the spectators, concluding the interesting ceremony. The building thus auspiciously begun, proceeded rapidly to a completion, so a< to be opened on Thursday last. It is of free- stone, and of a plain Grecian character in design, 170 feet long, by 80 feet high, having a Doric portico in the centre, the ends projecimg with pilasters at each angle. At the top ofthe building, in a tablet, is the foihnving inscription : SALOP I N F I RM ALLY, Established 1745, Supported by V o l u n t a r y Subscriptions a n d Benefactions. REBUILT 1830. The interior comprises four stories; in the baseiftent story the offices, to the number of 22, are well arranged having a convenient court for coal, & c. and water supplied to the various apartments. The principal floor is appropriated fo the' board room, dispensary, waiting room for the patients, and admitting rooms for the faculty, with private apartments for fhe house- surgeon and matron, and two wards- for surgical cases. The first floor is intended for male patients, and Consists of seven wards, with a day- room, scullery, and bath rooms; the upper floor, for female patients, has the same accommodation, with the addition of a large and lofty operation room, enclosed bv two pair of folding doors, having wards on each side ; in tiie attics are four other wards, with nurses' rooms, & c. The ascent to these apartments is by staircases situated at each end of the building, connected by spacious galleries, w hich afford tbe means of free ventilation. In addition to the conveniences with which this elegant structure is replete, the patent hot- wafer apparatus, erected for the purpose of warming the Infirmary, must not, from its novelty, be overlooked. The apparatus, as stated in a former Journal, consists Or'a boiler, placed in the basement floor of the building, from which, by means of a pipe rising from its , top, the water heated within is conveyed to the We are informed that the New Turnpike Road, highest level required, from whence it descends ( in its passage to the boiler) to what are called the " water stoves," situated in the several galleries.

The expense of its erection will be found in the following extract from the report of the Building Committce; and the annexed letter of Mr. Smirke, the surveyor, to the Chairman of that Committee, will, we are sure, be received as a meed of praise which the abilities of the architects have fully warranted. REPORT, & c. The Committee for rebuilding- the Salop Infiunary have the satisfaction of announcing to the Subscribers to that Charity the completion of the edifice. In their Report tif the 30th of August, 1827, they stated Ihe amount of Messrs. Haycock's contract, being £ 16,246 : it was therein noticed that the sum necessary for rebuilding the terrace wall was not included in the estimate ; the same remark applies lo the formation of the base court, the external drains, and various items, which have been found necessary in the progress of the work. As it is the anxious desire of the Committee tiiat the whole detail of their expenditure should be laid in the clearest manner before the Subscribeis, they trust ihey shall be exeuj- ed for the minuteness of the subjoined account, which may be advantageously classed under tloee geneinl lit ads. first,— The amount of Messis. Haycock's original contract: Secondly,— The charges for variations in the fabric itself, and for the completion of the boundary walls, fences, offices, & c.: Lastly, —' Ihe amount paid to the Company of Proprietors of the Shrewsbury Water- Works for lay ing on water ; the expense of an apparatus for warming the passages, and furnishing a supply of hot water for baths and the general purposes of ihe establishment ; ami sundry tradesmen's bills, for orates, boilers, bells, &. c. w ith the cost of fixing 1 hem. Under the last head Ibe Committee may seem to have outstepped the limits prescribed to them, inasmuch as these items should rather be referred to furnishing than to erecting the building ; but as it was obvious that the various particulars enumerated could he more cheaply and advantageously constructed and arranged in the progress of the edifice than after its completion, the Committee thought they were consulting tiie interests ol the institution in directing this expenditure. In judging of the total outlay this circumstance should he borne in mind. There are two charges not referable to any of the above heads, which the Committee f< el confident that no Subscriber will object to : the first of £ 200, paid Io Mr. Smirke, for his occasional inspection ; and the last, a gratuity of £ 50, to Mr. John Jones, for bis attendance on them us their clerk during the progress oi the work. Notvirthsta'nding the Confidence which the Committee placed in the ability nnd integrity of Messrs. Haycock, they felt it due to the public to obtain the superinteiidnuce of some professional man who might vouch for the due performance of the contract. Mr. Smirke has, with great minuteness and attention, surveyed ibe work in iis progress, and has favoured the Committee wiih a Report on its completion, which they have subjoined, as the best and most honourable testimony of the skill and fair dealing tif the contractors. The total expenditure directed by tbe Committee for ali these purposes is £ lh735. 18s. lOd. ; the total sum raised by subscription, collections, aud the proceeds of tlie bazaar is £ 13044. Is. 3d. The Balance is made up by the sale of a part of the Capital Stock of the I nstitu'iion, as Will appear iu the subjoined account. The books, containing the minutes of the proceeding", liave been banded over by the Committee to the '• Secretary tif the Infirmary: should they, therefore, have failed in explaining their transactions in this summary, the whole detail is accessible to any subscriber who may wish for more minute information. They have now performed their iask £ they have endeavoured so to complete tbe edifice, that hereafter it may'require neither additions nor alterations". Acting upon this principle, they have sanctioned occasional variations as farther enquiries and additional information suggested them, attended, doubtless, with some increase of expense. These variations, however, ure not more numerous, nor is the consequent additional expense greater, than might have been anticipated in a building of such magnitude, adapted t'o the peculiar purposes of au Infirmary. With the Subscribers and with tbe county at large il now rests to support efficiently the work of their own hands. To their liberality the Committee eonfitb hily commend it, nothing doubling but that the same spirit of christian charity which hath devised and ; erected ibis spaeiods edifice, will supply the necessary funds lor its complete occupation. Cr. iVE, Chairman, peculiar demand upon their liberality. This char1^ had been truly progressive, and the increasing wants of the poor, from an increasing population, had hitherto been correspondingly and nobly met; and he would hope that as the Institution ivas about to extend its benefits, enlarged contributions would be maintained ; since he did not plead for those that eat the bread of idleness, but in the tiame of Him who went, about healing the sick, the lame, the halt, and the blirrd— in the name of the great Physician of the Soul who went about doing good ; and whilst those whom he addressed imitated in these things his example, may their path, like his, " be brighter until the perfect day." The plates at the door were held by Mrs. Huntley, supported by Sir Robert. Chambre Hill, K. C. B. and by Miss Whitmore, of Apley, supported by Sir J. F. Boughey, Bart.; and the collections amounted to the handsome sum of £ 240. 5s. 2 | d. Additional Subscriptions, reported from Midsummer lust. Messrs.

MR. SMTRKE'S T I E P O R T TO T H E COMMITTEE. Stratford l'tace, Sept. 3, 1830. Mv I. OHD, 1 have, according to the desire of the Committee, ag- iiin sur. veyed ( lie building of the tnfii n i a i v a t Shrewsbury, mid have c a r e f u l l y examined every part of . the work t h a t has been done since the date of my last R e p o r t ; referring, at t h e same time, lo t h e original plans and specification upon which the contract Willi Messrs Haycock was made. I have the satisfaction of being able to report that the b u i l d i n g is now completely finished, and is prepared to receive the f u r n i t u r e fur its occupation. It is known to the Committee that several alterations have been made in llie internal arrangements of the b u i l d i n g during its progress ; but I perceive none that bad not received their previous consideration and sanction, ami the. alterations have in my opinion, in every instance, greatly improved the convenience of llie establishment. The nuist important of these alterations was the extension of the front of t h e building, which, besides i m p r o v i n g its exterior appearance, afforded also the means' of giving much better l i g h t and ventilation to the galleries communicating with the vi arils on each tlnor t h a n was provided by t h e original plan. The apparatus for warming- tile galleries during the winter season lias been fixed in a proper manner : and as far as it is possible to judge of i t s effects a t this time, there is reason to believe it will f u l ly answer the expectations o f t h e Committee. I can discover no appearances of weakness or defect in the coiislriiclinn nf any part of the buildings; Messis. Ilaycoek, in the execution of their work, appear lo have fulfilled their contract in a substantial and workmanlike anil at the same time very liberal manner, and have constructed every pari of the b u i l d i n g with materials of suitable s t r e n g t h and ot t h e best q u a l i t y of their several kinds: in some instances t h e y have employe. 1 materials of a description much superior to those required by their agreement ; and which are calculated, as 1 described iii my lust Report, to add in a great degree to the good condition " and durability of the interior of t h e building. 1 have t h e hononr to be, My Lord, Your obedient" and faithful Servant, R O B E R T SMIRKE. Viscount CLIVE, & c. Sic. See. On Sunday last, a Sermon was preached in the Parish Church of Oswestry, by the Rev. T. Salwey, Vicar, from Matthew xxv 3G ; after which a collection, amounting lo £ 23. 6s. 2 ' d , was made in aid of Ihe funds of the Oswestry Dispensary. On Tuesday, the 21st instant, a match at Cricket was played oil the Atcham ground, between eleven gentlemen of the county of Warwick and eleven of the county of Salop, which was won by the latter, ' with ten wickets to spare. Tuesday, being tbe Feast of St. Matthew, the Lord Mayor, attended hy the corporate officers, attended divine service at Christ Church, Newgate- street, according to annual custom. The service was preceded hy a voluntary, which was played on Ihe organ by Mr. Glen. The Rev. Frederick lliff, Minister of St. Julian's, Shrewsbury, delivered an appropriate discourse fiom the 20th chapter of Deuteronomy, and the 10th verse. After Ihe service, the Lord Mayor, accompanied liy the Sword- bearer, the Sheriffs, & c. and preceded hy the Governors and Stewards of Christ's Hospital, went in procession to the splendid hall of the school, when the orations were delivered. The oration in the Latin language was delivered hy Master Ramsay— that in the English by Master Fletcher; both were exceedingly well delivered. The orations were followed hy the plaudits of the audience, which were answered by a cheer from the scholars without. The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Aldermen present, as well as the majority of the auditors, made a contribution, and took their leave, apparently fully satisfied with the proceedings of the day — Times. On Tuesday, the 21st inst. ( being St. Matthew's Dav), acccording to annual custom, the election of Bailiffs for the town and borough of Bridgnorth took place ; when a j u ry of fourteen, after being sworn, and locked tin in the Guildhall for 24 hours, announced by their foreman ( Mr. Richard Cooper), that Mr. Alderman Shipman and Mr. Andrew Harding were the Bailiffs chosen for the year ensuing. On Friday last, during a thunderstorm, Mr. Cteaton, of Eudon George, near Bridgnorth, had five fine rearing calves struck dead by the lightning. The animals had gone for shelter under an oak tree ; some other calves that stood at, a distance in the storm received no injury. EXTRAORDINARY TREE. M A R K E T H E R A L D. S H R E W S B U R Y .

The Rev. Archibald Montgomery Campbell, M. A. delivered an excellent sermon from 41 h chapter of Proie.- hs, ISth verse—" The path of the just is as fhe shh. i > g light, that shineth more ard more unto the perfect day."— From which he deduced that as the p o; ress of religion was slow, and that as we cannot love and fear God on a sudden, we must use progressive exertion to press forward in obedience to His commands, and that while benevolence was a characteristic of our conntry, we must look to it as a positive duty, not only as to what has been done, but endeavouring to reach suhlinier heights of charity, looking to that Being whose essence in all his dealing with mankind was love.— He shewed that the scriptures illustrated hy abundant examples that man had been instructed to love his neighbour; but these precepts even from Moses atfd the Prophets were not so urgent as those which came from Jesus, since it remained for him to hid the rich and voluptuous to conic forward and escape Ihe punishment which awaited them for neglecting the beggar at their gate. In fact, keeping the law of Charity, he proved had done incalculable good, which tlie History of the World testified ; and it still maintained ils rank, attesting its divine origin by softening the hearts of men; and it had shone from tlie Reformation to the present day unobscured, as the number of charities instituted during ( he past twenty years amply testify. Still, although much had been done, much remains to be done, inasmuch as misery cannot, he banished from the earth by ( he nostrum of a political empiric, suffering being the consequent transgression of sin ; it is, however, an interesting question to enquire how we can best mitigate human wre( chedness? Considering the opu ence of many before him, the preacher urged with much eloquence, in conclusion, the necessHy of providing for ( he wants of the labouring classes, and of those who cat of the sweat of their brow ; anil although he was no advocate for compulsory measures for the relief of the poor, yet as no provision can protect a man from disease and suffering, this Institution had a Length.

LI. ANIDLOFS B I B L E S O C I E T Y . — O n T h u r s d ay the 23d instant, the Anniversary of the Llanidloes Auxiliary Bible Society was held in the Independent Chapel, in that town. George Meares, Esq. took the chair, and addressed the meeting in a very impressive speech, fully testifying his approbation of the objects of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The ge neral principles of the British and Foreign Bible Society, its success, and growing importance, together with ils Foreign transactions, were slated hy Mr. Acwortl), from Cambridge, and by various respectable Dissenting Ministers, whose addresses were received with an unanimous spirit of enthusiasm, and every one present seemed desirous to promote Ihc cause in which the society is engaged. The Report was read and approved, by which it appeared that upwards of £ 1500 has been collected, and 0554 copies of the Sacred Scriptures have been distributed, in Ihe short period of 17 years, within the Hundred of Llanidloes. It is supposed that about 1200 persons were present; and Ibe several resolutions of thanks lo Ihe President, Vice- Presidents, and the respective officers of the Society, were unanimously adopted. [ From the Star of Brunswick.] At no period of our eventful history was ( he single word which we have prefixed to this article more calculated io excite awful sensations in the contemplative mind than at tbe present moment. Even the most sanguine supporters of Emancipation now admit, lhat as a tranquillizing measure it has altogether failed ; and that political animosity anil party feeling were never at a greater height than since the passing of the Bill. In truth, it has outraged the feelings of the Protestants without advancing a single step towards satisfying the overweening ambition of the Papists. The object of the hitler clearly is— and they are working it wilh a silent certainty of which Government are little aware — to drive the Protestants out of Ireland, that they themselves may lake possession of the country. There is nol a county, a barony, or a parish in tlie kingdom, that is not regularly organised— that has not ils committees, district and general— that has not its presidents, vice- presidents, and secretaries.— its collectors and its funds ; and that is not in communication and co- operation with a directing head. The commands of these bodies are conveyed from one remote section of a province to the other with the rapidity of the wind, and in the direct course of a bird. When occasion requires, twenty or thirty thousand men can he assembled with a speed and within a space incredible to those unacquainted with the localities of Ireland, and of Ihe controlling influence which Priests and their subordinate agents exercise over the people. We know that these things exist; and we know that there is no rallying point for the loyal, no encouragement to the well affected— in a word, that THER.! is NO GOVERNMENT PARTY IN IRELAND. Not a v o i c e is u p - raised in its support, not a pen wielded in its defence. Men of all classes and all creeds, of all parties and all politics, appear to have entered into a tacit combination against i t ; and in this state stands Ireland, with Ihe revolutionary spirit that is now abroad working upon the minds of a mercurial and easily excited people. May GOD avert the consequences which, we fear, are certain! The contest for the vacant Coronership of Middlesex terminated on Monday afternoon. At the final close of the poll the numbers were— for Mr. Baker 3,670— Mr. Wakley 3,534. Mr. Baker was consequently declared duly elected.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS EGS very respectfully to announce, that lie is directed by the Executors and Trustees for Sale of the FAR FAMED HAFOD PROPERTY, ( which includes the. Classic Abode, and a little PRINCIPALITY OF 13,000 ACRES OF LAND,) to postpone tbe intended Sale by Auction, until the ensuing Spring. The Reason which has influenced this determination on the part of his clients ( however much he individually laments the necessity for this Postponement), be trusts will be found satisfactory. There are liiaify gentlemen who have already ex- pressed a wish to possess tiafod Mansion with its con- tents, and only a certain limited portion ofthe estate; in conformity with this plan, it becomes indispensible to revise and alter Ihe late survey, which did not con- template a division in Lots as it is now proposed. This will necessarily occupy too much tune to be pre- pared for the projected Sale on the 7th day of tbe next month ; beside which the executors are impressed with n belief that tbe arrangement suggested is belter calculated lo facilitate the leading object they have in view, which is ihe speedy payment of the specialty and simple contract debts of the late Colonel Johnes, than by a Sale of tiie immense property in one lot ; inferring that if the mansion and lauds, which will now form a single lot, he not sold, the farms, including UPWARDS OF 10,000 ACRES, will produce more than sufficient to pay those debts. It is, however, • suggested to those noblemen and gentlemen who have expressed a desire lo possess this fine investment erftire, thut Mr. ROBINS is authorized lo treat, and immediately to complete a bargain in flint way ; as alsofs Mr. CHARLES HARRISON, Solicitor, Lj ncoln's- 1 nu - Fields.

The Liverpool $ Manchester Railway. At the present moment the follow ing sketch of fhe origin and progress of this important under- taking, may not be unacceptable to our readers generally, as well os a brief description of Ihe Railway itself, to those who have not yet paid it u visit :— The project of establishing a correspondence hy railway between these, two of the most populous utid important towns in the kingdom, was not started till IS24, when a Mr. James proposed il lo a gentleman, who had great practical knowledge of the inconvenience of the mode of carriage then practised, namely, by land carriage, or by water on the Duke of Bridgewuter's canal, and the Irwell and Mersey Navigation. Tile principal inconveni- ence resulted from delay ; as it would often happen that goods would arrive iu a shorter time from New- York to. Liverpool than they could afterwards be conveyed in from Liverpool to Manchester. It having been ascertained liiat the average weight of goods in daily transit from Liverpool to Manches- ter amounted fo no less than from t, 000 to 1,200 lous, the projectors called a meeting, and brought the plan in its then crude stale before the public. Mr. Sandars, to whom Mr. James had communi- cated his calculation!, succeeded, after great oppo- sition, in getting a committee formed, aud in uppointing an engineer to make a preliminary sur- vey. This, however, was not accomplished with- out making himself singly responsible for all the expenses, as, even in those days of bubble- hunting, this project was looked upon by many as an attempt at deception, or as the wild chimera of a well meaning but distempered mind. Nor was this all with which the projectors had to contend. In ad- dition to the numerous persons whose interest from being employed in one or oflier of the existing modes of transit made them strenuously oppose any innovation of Iheir monopoly, the undertaking wits also opposed by the Eurls of Derby, Sefton, and Wilton, who expressed the most decided disapproba- tion of Ihe plan, as it crossed a part of their exten-> sive domains. The proprietors, however, published a prospectus, ill which they proved to demonstration the great advantages which the plan has been since acknow- ledged to possess. They employed some of the best and most scientific surveyors iu the kingdom in ascertaining the best mode of const ruction for public railways, and the best means of propelling the carriages. Various plans were suggested, and among them that of stationing engines at the dis- tance of every mile, and propelling'the carriages by a communication of ropes ant! pttllies. This plan was not only found objectionable from its inadequacy to tbe proposed purpose, but was dis- carded at once, when it was calculated that a capital almost equal to the amount required for the ; reparation of the i oad would be requisite for tbe erection of the fixed engines aud apparatus. From the immense traffic that was expected on the pro- jected road, the use nf horse- power was out of the question, and the attention of the Committee having, been directed lo the locomotive engines, then iu use at the collieries of Newcastle- upnu Tyite, for propelling similar carriages to those intended to be used, they made a considerable number of enquiries and examinations as to their etlicuey. As the only locomotive engines that had then been used for sucb a purpose vvere found too heavy to accomplish tbe speed of transit with w hich iflnne tbe undertaking could succeed, t'hey came fo the resolution of offer- ing a premium of ±' 500 lo any person who should construct a locomotive engine conformable to the following conditions;—* First, that fhe said engine mnst etfectuatly con sume its own smoke j secondly, if it weigh 0 tons, it must be capable of drawing after it, duy by day, on a level plain of railway, the gross weight of 20 tons, inefndhig the fender and water- tank, at Ihe rale of 10 utiles per hour, with a pressure of stetini iu the boiler not exceeding 501b*. on fbe sqaure inch; thirdly, there must be two safely valves, one completely out of the reach or controul of the eugineniau, and neither fastened down while the engine is wot king; and fourthly, the engine aud boiler must be supported on springs and rest on six wheels, and the height to Ihe top of Ihe chimney must not cxcecd 15 feel; fifth, the weight of the machine engine with its complement' of wafer iu fire boiler, must at most not exceed six tons ; aud a machine of less weight will be preferred if it draw after it a proportionate weight; and if Ihe weight of the engine, & c. does not exceed five tons, then the gross weight to be draw n should uol exceed 15 Ions, and the Company shall be a t li berty to put the boiler, & c. to tbe test of u pressure of water not exceeding 150lbs. per square inch, without being rflidercd liable to any damage the engine may re- ceive iu consequence. Previnns, however, to this premium being; offered, four Acts of Parliament had lieen brought iu by Ihe Company. The third Act wits to authorise the Ex- chequer Loan Commissioners to lend them the sum of .1100,000. This sum was ruised in addition to the sum of £ 400,000, which they hud originally raised on shares of £ 100 each. The last Bill for improving the line of road passed the House of lords by a majority of 28. Earls Derby and Wilton alone voting against il. These several Acts of Parliament are estimated to have cost upwards of £ 70,000. These necessary preparations having been made, the line of road was marked out, and the first por- tion of it was. commenced working upon iu the summer of 1826, a short distance fiom Chat Moss, on the Manchester side.— Mr. Henry Booth, in an interesting pamphlet on tlie subject, estimates the expenditure hitherto at upwards of £ 800,000, in- cluding the charge for stations, machinery, wag- gons, & c. for the carrying department. To accomplish a complete survey of the Railway, we should commence our journey of observation at the Liverpool end, in the company's yard in Wap- piug. Here the lower entrance of the great tunnel is ac cessible through an open cutting, 22 feet deep and 46 feet wide, beihg Space lor four lines of rail- way, with pillars between ihe lines to support Ihe beams and Homing of Ihe company's warehouses, which are thrown across Ibis excavation, and under which the waggons pass lo be loaded or discharged through hatchways or trap- doors communicating w th the stores above; waggons loaded with coal or lime pass underneath the warehouses to the open wharfs at the Wapping end of the station. Proceeding along Ihe tunnel, the line of railway curves lo the light, or south- east, till it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane, which is a perfectly straight line, 1960 yards in length, with an nnifoim rise of three quarters of an inch to Ihe yard. The railway from Wapping to the commencement of the inclined plane is level; the whole rise, therefore, from Wappintr to the tunnel mouth, at Edge Hill, is 123 feet. The tunnel is 22 feet wide and 16 feet high, the sides being perpendicular for five feet in height, surmounted by a semi- circular arch of 11 feet ratlins; the total length is 2250 yards. It is cut through various strata of red rock, blue shale, and clay; but principally through rock of every degree of hardness, from the softest sundstoue to the most compact free- stone, which the axe or the chisel will with difficulty penetrate. It frequently was found necessary, iu the progress of the work, to make on artificial vault of masonry, which has been effected by brick arch work in those places where tU.* tiatuial rock could not be trusted to sup- port the superincumbent mass. The height from the roof of the tunnel upwards to the open surface of the ground varies from 5 feet to 70, the greatest mass of superstratum being In the vicinity of Hope- street aud Crabtree Lane. Tbe whole length of this Vast cavern is now furnished with gas lights, and the side3 and roof are white- washed, to give better effect to Ihe illumination. Tho different colours und peculiar appearance of the varying strata through which the tunnel passes are thus hidden from view', and the attention is no longer attracted to those " faults" or " slips" in tbe solid rock which indicate that the whole mass has been rent asunder by one or more of those terrible con- vulsions of nature, of which the traces are so frequently visible, but of which no other record remains. The geologist would be disappointed, in traversing this subterranean Vault, to find the natural varieties converted by lime- water into one uniform and artificial appearance ; but the principle of utility is paramount in a commercial under- taking. At the upper or eastern end of the funnel fhe traveller emerges into a spacious aud noble area, 40 feet below the surface of the ground, cut out of the solid rock, antl surmounted on every side by walls and battlements. From this area ( here returns a small tuhuel, 200 yards iu length, i'f) feet wide, and 12 feet high, parallel with the large one, but inclining upwards iu the oppositedirection, and terminating: in the company's premises in Crown- streel, til the upper mill eastern boundary of Liver pool; being the principal station for file railway coaches, and the depot for coals foT the higher districts of the town. Proceeding eastward from the two tunnels, fhe road passes through a Moorish archway, al present unfinished, which is to Connect the two engine houses, and will form the grand entrance to fhe Liverpool stations. Tbis structure is from a spirit- ed design by Mr. Foster. The traveller now finds himself ou the open road to Manchester, and has au opportunity of contemplating the peculiar fea- tures of a well- eonstructed railway, the line in this place being perfectly level; Ihe slight curve, which was unavoidable, beautifully set out; the roadway clean, dry, and free from obstructions; and the rails firmly fixed on massive blocks of stone.— Crossing Waverlree Lane, the railway descends for 5| miles ut the rate of four feet in the mile— a declivity so slight and uniform as not to be per- ceived by tile eye, but still sufficient to give a mechanical advantage and facility of motion to a load passing in that direction. The road a little beyond Wavertree Lane is carried through a deep marl cutting, under several massive stone archways thrown across the excavation, to form the requisite communications between the roads and farms ou the opposite sides of the railway. Beyond the marl cutting is the great rock excavation through Olive Mount, about half a mile to the north of Ihe village of Wavei tree. Here the traveller passes through a deep and narrow ravine, 70 feet below the surface of the ground, little more spate being opened out than sufficient for two trains of carriages to pass each other; and the road winding gently round towards the south- east, the prospect is bounded by Ihe perpendicular rock on either side, with tbe blue Vault above, relieved at intervals by a bridge high overhead, connecting the opposite precipices. Emerging from the Olive Mouut cutting, you approach the great Ro'by embankment, formed of the materials dug out of the excavation we have described. This embankment 6tretches across the valley for about two miles, varying in height from 15 to 45 feet, and iu breadth at the base from 60 to 135 feel. Alter passing the Roby embankment yon cross the Hnyton turnpike road, leaving Hu'yton Church and village on the left hand, and proceed in a slightly- curved direction to the bottom of the inclined plane at Whiston, between seven and eight miles from the company's station in Liverpool. This plane risps in the ratio of three^ ighths of an inch in a yard, or 1 in 96. Il is a mite and a half long in one straight line, and Ibe inclination ( being so slight) would scarcely attract observation, did not a decrease in Ihe speed of the carriages indicate that an important change had taken place in Ihe level of Ihe way. At fhe top of the Whislon inclined plane there is a portion of the road ( nearly two miles iu length) oil tbe exact level. About littlf a mile from lite lop of the inclined plane the turnpike road from Liverpool to Manchester crosses the line Of the railway at an acute angle of 34 degrees, aud is carried over the railway by a substantial stone bridge of very curious and beautiful construction, being built on the diagonal orBkew principle, each stoue being cut to a particular angle, lo fit into a particular place, the span of the arch, measured a! the face, being 54 feet, while the width of the rail- way underneath, measured from wall to wall, is only 30 feel, each face of the arch extending dia- gonally 45 feet beyond Ihe square. Rainhill- bi idge is nine miles from the company s yard in Wapping, and it was underneath aud on each side of this bridge that the experiments took place when the locomotive engines contended for the premium of £ 500 in October, 1829. Passing over the summit level al Rainhill, yve come to tbe Sutton inclined plane,- which descends in the opposite direction, and is similar in extent anil inclination to the Whistou plane, the top level 82 feel above tbe base of each plane. Par Moss is Ihe next object of attention, the roadway across Ihe principal part of it being formed by ( he deposit of heavy material ( clay and stone) dugout of the Sut- ton inclined plane. This moss is about 20 feet deep, and ihe material forming the roadway, as it was deposited, sank to the bottom, utid now forms an embankment in reality 25 feet high, though only 4 or 5 appear above the surface of Ihe ntoss. The borders of this waste are in a state of increasing cultivation, and the carrying if the railway across Ibis moss will hasten the hiclosure of the whole area. Over Sankey vnlley and canal, and over Ihe lop- masts uiid high peaks of the barges, the railway is carried along a magnificent viaduct of nine arches, each fifty feet span, built principally of brick, w ith stone facings, the height from the top of the para- pets to tbe water in the canal being 70 feel, and llie width of fhe railway between the parapets" 25 feet. The approach to this great strncturo is along a stupendous embankment, formed principally of clay, dug oul from the high lands on the borders of the valley. Looking over the battlements, there is a fine view down the valley to the south— Winwiek spire rising in tbe distance, and below you the little stream of the Sankey running parallel with the canal; while the masts and sails of the vessels, seen at intervals iu the landscape where Ihe canal is no longer visible, present a vivid specimen of inland navigation. Immediately below you, Ihe barges as they approach the bridge escape from view for a few minutes, till, having sailed under your feet, they become again visible on the opposite side of the viaduct. A few miles beyond Newton is the great Kenyon excavation, from which about 800,000 cubic yards of clay aud sand have been dug out, pnrt being Carried to form the line of embankment to the east and west of the cutting; and the remainder, depo- sited as soil banks, may be seen heaped up, like Pelion upon Ossa, towering over the adjacent land. Near the end of this cutting the Kenyon and Leigh Railway joins the Liverpool and Manchester line by two branches, pointing to Ihe two towns respectively. This railway joins the Bolton and Leigh line, and thus forms the connecting link be- tween Bolton, Liverpool, and Manchester. From tbe Keuyon excavation, the transition is easy to tbe Brosely embankment, formed of the material dug out of the cutting, as before described. Moving onward, we pass over Bury- laue and Ihe small river Gless, or Glazebrook, being arrived on the borders of Ihe far- lamed Chat Moss. This barren waste comprises ail area of about 12 square miles, varying in depth from 10 lo 35 feet, the whole mass being of so spongy and soft a texture that it was found impossible to drain it, as a rod of iron laid on Ihe top of it would sink in by its own gravity. The road was made by pitching almost innumerable waggon loads of clay and stone in the intended line, and many thousand loads disappeared in the bog before any tiling like a road was dis- cerned. It seems that the expense of that 4J miles of bog has been less than the average expense for the same distance on any oilier part of the road, although, from the perishable nature of the trood sleepers on yvhich the rails rest, it will be much more expensive to keep in repair. Beyond Chat Moss we traverse the Barton embankment, crossing the low lands for about a mile between the moss and tbe VVorsley canal, over which the railway is carried by a neat stoue bridge. The immediate approach to Manchester, by the railway, is through a portion of Sulford, as little interesting as can well be imagined. Over the river Irwell the railway is carried by a very handsome stone bridge, and then, over a series of arches, into the Company's station in Water- street and Liverpool road, Manchester. As this railroad is constructed oil the most im- proved principles yet known, some account of its formation may not be unacceptable. On the r lay autl stone on which the road is to be formed, a layer, two feet thick, of broken rock and saud is deposited, one foot below the sleepers, and one foot distributed between then!. The sleepers, as they are called, being the blocks on which the rails of the road rest, are blocks of hard free stone, from Peel, in Lancashire, on the excavated part of the road ( about eighteen out of Ihe thirty- one miles), while on the raised embankments aud the mosses, the rails are supported by sleepers of onk or larch. The stone blocks are about two feet over, and about a foot and a half thick; for life reception of the chains ( which are the boues of iron which secure the iron rail to the stoue sleepers) two holes ure drilled in the top of each block, aud filled up with bard oak pins; the chains are then fastened on by two large spikes being driven through them into the oak pin « , which process is forced to be so secure, that it is almost impossible to separate a chain from u sleeper, when thus fastened. The rail upon which the wheels of the carriages run are niurle of malleable iron, about two inches broad at ( lie top, and forming merely a projecting ridge. This is found lo answer much better than fhe old method of having the carriage wheels to run in angular shelves, as the snow and the dirt was always putting them out of repair. With tbe rails on this rotrtl there is the least possible friction and cliauce of impediment. The wheels of the carriage are eight er nine inches broad, with a flange or projecting ridge on the outer edge of about an inch broad and an inch and a half high, to keep tbe machine on fhe rail. The rails are about twelve feet long, with about five sleepers to support eacb of them. They are formed so as to slip into the sleepers which flrey tire drawn through.— Oil the inside hitllow of the sleeper there is a sort of rabbit or square groove, which receives a corre- sponding ridge on the rail. When the rail line been placed ou it, a small iron Wetlge is driven between the inside of the sleeper and the side of the rail opposite Ihe ridge. This drives the ridge of'the rail so securely into the groove of the sleeper, that it is impossible for the rail to shift without moviu it. On a road thus prepared celerity and safety are nearly certain. The carriages are broad and low, so that all Ihe weight they carry, as well as their own weight, acts as ballast. The rate of travelling is spoken of as being likely to average about sixteen or eighteen miles an hour, so that it will living the two great towns, Manchester and Liverpool, within half Ihe present distance from each other-— that is to say, for purposes of dispatch. The people of both towns speak wit'h confidence Of fbe practica- bility of breakfasting at home iu the morning, and returning to dinner, after having twice passed the length of the railway, and hardly any doubt remains that before many years we shall have a line of rail- road from Liverpool to Loin oil. MR. HcsiassoN. The father of this lamented statesman resided upon his estate at Oxley, near Wolverhampton, in Stafford- shire. He was twice married : by his first marriage he had two sons, the kite William Huskisson anil the present General Huskisson; by his second marriage, Capt. Thomas Huskisson, R. N. now Paymaster to the Navy, and a daughter, who married the Rev. T. WalhoCtse, in Staffordshire, brother to Morton Wat- hotrse, Esq. whose son, on the death of his great- uncle, the late Sir Edward Littleton, Bart, ( who for several Sessions represented the county of Stafford), became possessed of bis great- uncle's estates, and took the name of Littleton ( the Baronetage became extinct), and is the present Member of Parliament for Staffordshire. In the early part of the French Revolution, the subject of the present memoir accompanied his rela- tive, the late Dr. Gem, to Paris, and. it is said, be- came a member of some popular Clubs in Paris, and an accidental circumstance at this moment probably laid the foundation of bis political career. The Secretary to the English Ambassador at Paris died, after a short illness, much to the inconvenience of the Ambassador, who mentioned his inconvenience fo Dr. Gem, asking him if lie knew tiny well educated Eng- lishman then in Paris, Who would assist him as amanuensis until he could supply trie place of his late Secretary. Dr. Gem replied, " I have with me a clever, well- educated young man, a relative of mine, whom I can recommend, if he will undertake it." This was William Hnskisson. He became amanuensis, and acquitted hiftlself so " Well that he was appointed Secretary, and, on the return of the Ambassador, w as recommended lo Mr. Dundas, at that time Secretary of S ate for the Home Department, w ho appointed Mr. lltrsfcissmi Undef- Secretarv in that office. His assiduity and tafents did not long escape live attention of Mr. l'ift, about the same time that Mr. Canning had become known to that great statesman. He soon after procured a seat in Parliament, and, by his indefatigable industry and talent, gradually rose fo frtl several high stations amongst the Ministers of llie State. At the death of Iris father, Mr. Hus- kisson became possessed of the estate at Oxley; near Wolverhampton, but, having subscribed pretty largely fo the unfortunate " Loyalty Loan," he sold his estate to James Hordern, Esq. and it is at present possessed by his son, Alexander Hordern, Esq. After his father's death, his brother, the present General, farmed the estate, which he continued to do until it. was sold, when he turned the ploughshare into the sword, and entered the army. His promotion was not slow, for, by purchases and frequent changes, be soon became a Colonel, and, by his talent antl services, has been many years placed on the list of Generals. betting with the field; indeed many affirm that lie was so. We think, however, that the field hat! the call, and should say that it was 11 to 10 against the favourite. The other horses stood thus : — 7 to 1 against Ilassan ; 12 to 1 against Brunswicker; 14 to 1 against Moss Rose ; 15 to 1 against Birming- ham ; Ifi to 1 against The Cardinal; 20 to 1 against Maria ; 25 to 1 against Lady Mowbray; 25 to 1 against St. Nicholas ; all the rest at very high odds. At three o'clock precisely the horses were saddled. The jockics, having received Ibe several instructions from Mr. Lockwood as to starting, paraded before the Grand Stand, and then took their places at the post. A more equal start could not have occurred— all got well off at the first word, antl no one can pretend that he lost on that score. If there was any advan- tage it was gained by Emancipation, who took a decitled lead, at a very middling pace, Maria having the second place, and behind her The Cardinal, Bir- mingham, Brunswicker, Lady Mowbray, The Chan- cellor, Mimic, Moss Rose, Pedestrian, and Lawrie Todd, Priam lying in the centre of tbe lot. In this order they ran as far as the hill, and, at this early part of the race, Revolution, and two or three more of the same grade, found that they had had quite enough of it. No other change of importance took place till Ihey got to the Red House, where symptoms of being tired were evinced by Hassan, Moss Rose, l- atlv Mowbray, and The Chancellor. Lady Emme- line, at this point, swerved against Brunswicker, and nearly knocked him down. All this time Priam remained in the situation he had occupied at the commencement— lie now drew a little upon his horses, nt the same time occasioning a considerable amend- ment in the speed, which directly afier became severe. Emancipation continued the lead, Maria, Pedestrian, and The Cardinal, lying close behind, while Birming- ham and Mimic were nearly abreast of Priam. Half- way between the end of the rails and the distance, itnothef change occurred— The Cardinal, Pedestrian, Maria, and Lawrie Todd, giving up further contest. At fhe distance Conolly called upon Birmingham, Chifney at tbe same time making a strong effort with Priam. At the Stand, Birmingham headed Emanci- pation, anil instantly after Priam ditl the same. Chifney now began whipping and spurring, Conolly working his horse, but without using the whip, and winning cleverly by half a length. The winner is a remarkably large fine horse, is well topped, and has immense stride : this, and the heaviness of the ground, won him the race. Without reference to fhe result of the race it milst be admitted on all hands that the public have every reason lo be satisfied with the conduct of the Cliifneys in the training and general management of Priam, than which nothing could have been more honest and straightforward. Long before be made his appear- ance in public they ascertained him to be a very superior horse, as well in all his exterior points as in the essentials r. ecessary to constitute him a perfect racer— he was speedy, good tempered, and could run on. Without any of the finessing so often resorted to in order to influence the betting, he was at once brought into the market for the Derby, backed at all prices with great spirit, and won his race as easy as liis owners had asserted lie would. They supported him for this race in the same candid and determine.! manner, and were thus determined to make liini a winner both ways. He was brought to the post in a sty le that elicited general admiration. One gentleman stood to win £ 25,000 by the horse's winning, and £ 12,000 by his defeat. In tbis respect the Hassan party, if they were wise, must have been large winners, having risen from 30 to 1 to 6 to 1. VVe do not see how any could have profited by Brunswicker's winning, for, after his running at Epsom, his friends had nothing else to do but to get tlieir money off, and very few were bold enough to u stand the shot." If he had been in any other stable than Scott's they would never have been able to manage matters so pleasantly ; but in these cases a fancy stable goes a great way. Two or three of the select have made good thing by laying against him. The books on this race were much lighter than usual, owing to the supposed certainty of Priam's winning. The Warwickshire people are great winners, the losers coming chiefly from the North and South The defeat of Priam created a very powerful sensa- tion, which is heightened by the fact that he had a perfectly fair start, did his best, and had the best jockey in the kingdom ; to us, however, it is quite clear that, with the turf in good order for running, he can, at anytime, beat Birmingham. Conolly deserves very great praise for his management of the winner it was distinguished by patience and first- rate talent- Value of the Stakes £ 1,700.

The following is an fextract of a letter, dateii Ant- werp, 21st instant:— " We are on the eve of great events at Brussels. Tbe Leigois who are at Brussels have accused the people of this latter place with having deceived them, They have united themselves with the mob, and have risen against the authorities and Burgher Guard, and disarmed the major part of them, and committed some excesses. They have established a provisional government tinder Potter, Bavan de Shassarch, De Methode, ami Several others. The consequence t) f this is, that troops have been niarclied against them. Prince Frederick, who had liis head quarters here, left us this morning at. ten o'clock, with all the generals here. I have no doubt that the King's troops will snccecd, antl order be soon restored. The mob at Mons rose on the burgher guard on Sunday even ing, and the latter called in the military from the Citadel, who soon settled the affair." Since the arrival of the above, we have received the following proclamation of Prince Frederick to the inhabitants of Brussels. We learn that a depu tation from the people of that city had arrived at Ant werp, praying that prince to bring a military force there, for the sake of preserving llie town from being pillaged by the mob. " To the inhabitants of Brussels— The King, my August Father, is occupied, in concert with the representatives uf the nation, and with the only means compatible with tlieir oaths, in examining attentively your demands: notwithstanding which order is incessantly disturbed in your walls. While your zeal and activity in defence of public property merits the greatest praise, a small number of dis- turbers of the peace excite the populace to pillage, the people to revolt, the army to dishonour, the oyal intentions at e perverted, the authoiitie's with- out power, and liberty is oppressed. " Conformably to the order of the King, we come to put down this state of tilings, which ruins your city, and renders more and more distant to this ' oyal city tbe possibility of ever again being the abode of the monarch and of the Iteir to tbe throne. Pile only sure and efficacious remedy is the estab- lishment of legul order. " The national army shall enter your walls in the name of the law, and at the request of the honest and faithful citizens relieve them from a painful duly, and give them aid and protection. Those officers and soldiers, united under the flag of the country, ure your friends and brothers. They do not coiuo to avenge themselves, but to restore order aud peace. A general forgiveness will bo extended to those fanlts and irregularities which circumstances have produced. Those who have acted as principals in acts too criminal to escape the punishment of the law will alone, and justly, be punished. Their cause has nothing lo do with yours. In virtue of our poyvers we order aa fol- lows " Art. 1. The national troops will enter Brussels. " 2. All obstacles to their march will be removed, through the care of the municipal authorities. " 3. The posts of the Burgher Guard will lie given over to I lie national troops. " 4. The armed strangers in the town, shall retire without arms to their homes. " 6. The colours adopted as a distinct mark, by a party of the Burgher Guard, must be given up. 6. The Municipal Administration, the Committee of Safety, tbe Council, and officers of the Burgher Guard will see to the execution of these orders, as regards the maintenance of peace, until the troops have made their entry. 7- The members of these bodies are personally respon- ihle, from this present date, for all resistance which might take place against the public force. " 8. The garrisons will be cantoned so as not to be at the charge of the inhabitants, antl will observe the strictest discipline ; all resistance will be repressed by force, ami all individuals guilty of such resistance, and who may be taken, are to be given over to the criminal judges. « FREDERICK, " Prince of the Netherlands.

The largeness of the field is almost incredible, it hen it is considered that for tbe last two or three weeks it has been conjectured that not more than 16 or 17 would run, nor was it till within the last two or three days that any one had the courage to back 24 ; il will be readily believed, therefore, that w hen 28 jockies had weighed, the astonishment was very great— not less so, indeed, than was felt on the defeat of the crack Newmarket horse. The betting in the morning at the Rooms was chiefly between horses, the prices averaging pretty nearly the same as on the preceding night, with the exception that Priain fell back to 6 to 4, and very few takers. In llie Stand he rose in favour, and at the start was very close upon even The Palace in this city burnt for, at least, twenty- four hours; even to- day the fire was not wholly extinguished. Only a part of the left wing re- mains. It was not till the 8th that 3,000 citizens, who were before to have only pikes and sabres, received fire- arms, in order to assist the military in preserving order. This is a salutary measure, for it WHS the first check lo fhe immense unbridled mob that committed such frightful excesses. The day before yesterday nearly 100 persons of the lowest of the populace, who seemed disposed, in Iheir slate of intoxication, to proceed to farther disorders, were arrested. The magazine in the Church of St. A^ gidius and the public Pawn- office were saved. Tbe arrival of Prince William yester- day at the Richmond Palace caused great joy, because it was expected to put an end to the troubles that we had experienced for some days The Prince had scarcely alighted from his Carriage, when attempts were made to prejudice him against the persons then at the head of the citizens, hut tbis was of short duration. The Prince soon became sensible of tiie real truth, and a person of distinction was obliged fo leave this city and the duchy the same evening. Immediately afterwards the Prince was accompanied through the streets of the city by the General Staff, the Bufgller Guard, antl an immense crowd of people care was taken, however, not fo pass by the ruins of the Palace The Prince was every where received with en- thusiasm. The city was to have been illuminated in the evening, but the Prince declined it. To- day the troubles may be considered as ended, though it is thought necessaiy to continue the measures of precaution that have been adopted. As far as is yet known, eight or nine persons lost their lives iu the late riots, and about 50 were wounded. But it is certain that only the very refuse of the populace caused the dreadful riots, which will be impressed on the memory of every Brunswieker as a fearful proof of the unbridled licentiousness of the popular fury. A Proclamation, issued yesterday by his Royal Highness Prince William, Duke of Brunswick- Oels, says, that as soon as he was informed of the late . lamentable events, he bad hastened hither with the intention of doiugr bis utmost to restore peace, and, though greatly afflicted at what had passed, he was happy to find that the citizens had alreudy suc- ceeded, in concert with the authorities, in repress- ing the disorders; that lie was deeply sensible of the fidelity aud attachment w hich the inhabitants of Brunswick bad at all times manifested to the Ducal family, and which he cousidered as the pledge of the continuance of tranquillity, and Ihe return of better days, to which he would contribute to the utmost of his power. A Proclamation from the Ministers, signed Van Bulow and Van Munchausen, returns thanks to those citizens by whose active assistance a great many of the important documents were saved. It states, however, that a vast number of papers deposited ill the Record- office, belonging to the archives of the houses of Hanover and Brunswick, had beeu burnt or dispersed. These papers, though of great public importance in relation to the history aud constitution of the country, can be of no use whatever to private persons; should any of them have cot into the hands of any of the in- habitants, they are earnestly desired to give them up. EMIGRATION.— A - farmer in the neighbourhood of Kingston, Dorsetshire, was surprised,' last week, on passing through a field on his farm, to see a large company of rats proceeding in very orderly array in the direction of a barn some two or three fields dis- tant. From their lean antl lachrymose appearance, it was evident that famine had compelled them thus to decamp; and he afterwards discovered that they had left a barn which he had recently cleared, and were making their way to more plentiful quarters. The number of Ihe emigrants amounted, he com- puted, to sonic hundreds. From Ihe New York papers of the 17th ult. we extract a few paragraphs relative to the census now taking throughout the United Stales, which those who take an interest in that kind of statistical information may not be displeased to see. " The returns of the population under the new census begin to come iu slowly. Iu the New England towns the increase seems to vary from 4 to 27 per cent, during the last ten years. The returns from thirteen of the towns in the State of New York present au increase, in the same interval, of above 100 per cent. Tbe census of thirty places in Pen- syl. vania shows au increase, since 1820, of 40 per cent. From several of the towns of Virginia the returns show au increase of 43 per cent. It is supposed that the population of the State of New York will be found to exceed 2,000,000, which, taking fhe ratio of representation at 50,000, will entitle the State to forty representatives in Con- gress. Supposing the increase of the ratio to be 20 per cent, some of Ibe States will lose strength in the national councils. The aggregate population of the United States will probably exceed 13,000,000. The census, it is reckoned, from the information now obtained, will give Philadelphia about 200,000 inhabitants, viz. about 90,000 within the city bounds, and about 110,000 without; about 170,000 ill the contiguous dwellings, and ubout 30,000 iu the rest of the county. Kensington alone has increased from 7,000 to 12,000 iu the last ten years. Two hundred thousand inhabitants will give this district another member of Congress in the ratio of 50,000 for each member. The increase of inhabitants in Philadelphia within the last ten years will be about 65,000, added to about 136,000. The in- crease of dwellings, manufactures, and interior commerce, has been fully commensurate with that of population. Market- street explains at all limes the causes of this advancement. The trade with all parts of that vast western world which lies so convenient to Philadelphia is immense, and con- tinually growing. The census of Newhaven has been completed. The population is 10,653, which is an increase in ten years of 40^ per cent. Hart- ford lias a population of 9,617, showing an increase of 39 per cent. New London 4,440, increase 33J; Middletowu 6,876 ; Lichfield 4,444. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND AN OLD SOLDIER.— Immediately on the Duke of Welling- ton leaving Mr. Birley's factory ou Monday last, a veteran named John Whitwortli, who had been field bugle to the 7th Royal English Fusilcers, was desirous of giving his otd General a salute; he consequently struck up, on the Royal Kent bugle, tbe national salute, ending with the British Gre- nadiers. The Duke turned round, as well as some of his suite, with a pleasing smile on bis counte- nance, touched his hat, and moved very politely to the bngleman, and seemed well aware the compli- ment was paid him by one of his brave companions inarms. John Whitworlh particularly distinguished liimselfin many engagements during the Peninsular war. At the storming and taking of Badajoz, on the Olli of April, 1812, Cuptaiii Choi wick and Lieutenant Rhodes were killed ou ascending the ramparts; Whitworth gained Ihe top, and imme- diately sounded bis bugle ; his companions, who had not yet attained the heights, " eager for the fray," exclaimed, " there's Whitwortli's bugle; they have got iu;" when they accomplished their purpose, and the city surrendered. On Wednesday last he played through the line of soldiers stationed near the Rail road- bridge, " See the Conquering Hero comes ;" and had the honour of a very cordial shake of the hand from the Duke and Lord Hill. He exclaimed, on shaking the Duke's hand, It gives me pleasure to shake hands with an old comrade." Lord Hill asked him where he had served; he replied, " I was with your division under the command of Sir Edward Blakeney." He was also field bugle to the lale General Pakenham ( brother- in- law lo the Duke of Wellington), at Copenhagen and Martinique, and was at the battles of Busaco, Almavira, Albuera, Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pampeluna, Orthes, aud Toulouse.— Manchester Guardian, September 18. TACT.— The King of the French, Louis. Philip, has given instructions to a distinguished litcrateur to obtain for him a correct list of all the literary aud scientific bodies in Europe, with a precise account of their charitable institutions, ill order that he may subscribe to those which be considers most deserving of support.— Literary Gazette Both in Frauce and America several persons are employed in constructing machines for travelling in the air; with much the same probability of success, we imagine, as have attended the long- existing trade of building castles in the same element. TIIE WIIF. ATEAR'S NF. ST.— No bird conceals its nest with more artifice than the wheatear; and irj consequence of this circumstance, and the retired! places in which it fixes its sunimer residence, very many of the young ones are produced. This* Summer ( June 15, 1828) 1 appointed a boy to watch two lieti birds to their retreat, and after some hours of vigi- lante he succeeded and gave notice; one had made her nest deep in the crevice of a stone. quarry, and so carefully hidden by projecting fragments as not to be observed from without until part of the rock was removed : her fabric was large, and rudely con- structed with dried bents, scraps of shreds, feathers, and rubbish, collected about the cottages ou the down, containing four pale blue eggs, about the size of those of the sky- lark. The other bird had de- scended through the interstices of some rather large loose Stones, as a mouse would have done, and then proceeded laterally to a hollow space in a bank against which the stones were laitl; and so deep had she penetrated, that many of the stones were to be removed before we could discover her treasure ; as no appearances led to any suspicion of a nest, it would never have been detected but for our watch- fulness.— Journal of a Naturalist. . STRAITS OF DOVER.— Whether England was for- merly united with France liai often been a favourite subject of speculation; and, in 1753, a society af Amiens proposed this as the subject of a prize essay, which was gained by the celebrated Desmarest, I hen a young man. He founded his principal arguments on the identity of composition of the cliff's on the opposite sides of the channel, on a submarine chain extending from Boulogne to Folkestone, oitly fourteen feet under low water, and on the identity of the noxious animals in England and France, which could tiot have swam across the straits, and would never have been introduced by man. He also attributed the rupture of the isthmus to the preponderating violence of the current from the north. It will hardly be dispu'ed that tbe ocean might have effected a breach through the land, which, in all probability, once united our country to the continent, in the same manner as it now gradually forces a pas- sage through rocks of tbe same mineral composition, and often many hundred feet high, upon our coast. Although tbe time required for such an operation was probably very great, yet we cannot estimate it by reference to the present rate of waste on both sides of the channel. For when, in the thirteenth century, the sea burst through the lsthfiius of Stave- ren, which formerly united Friesland with North Holland, it opened, in about oue hundred years, a strait more than half as witle as that which divides England from France, after which the dimensions of the new channel remained almost stationary. The greatest depth of the straits between Dover and Calais is twenty- nine fathoms, which only exceeds, bv one fathom, the greatest depth of the Mississippi at New Orleans. If the moving column of water in ( lie great American river, which, as we before stated, does not flow rapidly, can maintain an open passage to that depth in its alluvial accumulations, still more' might a channel of the same magnitude he eacaVated by the resistless force of the tides and currents of the " ocean stream."— LyaWs Principles of Geology. THE WINDS.— Previraud, Professor of Natural History at Autun, has remarked, that although the direction, according to which a change of wind is effected, differs between one hemisphere and another, yet it constantly follows the same la# in each. In ours, the wind shifts from north to south, passing through the east, and returns from south to nortli, traversing the west; whereas in the southern hemi- sphere, it shifts from nortli to south, passing through the west, and returns from south to irorth, traversing the east. Though sudden changes of the wind from north to south, or rice versa, may leave no interval for any intermediate wind, the general law of nature remains unaffected. Mr. Previraud assures us, that his conclusions are founded on the experience of navigators under every description of climate.— Athenceum. SALMON.— Several individuals, whose interests antl pursuits cause them to be well acquainted with the details of salmon- fishing, have often prognosti- cated that Mr. Home Drummond's excellent Act would soon bring salmon to the poor man's table. The following facts, among a number more that might be adduced, sanction the hope that, before the end of next season, the labourer will be able, with little extra cost, to dine on salmon and potatoes, instead of potatoes and herrings ! On Saturday, the boats belonging to the Magistrates of Stirling caught nearly 170 salmon and grilses, which weighed about l, 400lbs. On Monday, about 40 salmon and upwards of 150 grilses were taken, weighing in all about l, 800lbs.; and on Tuesday the take weighed OOOIbs. The salmon fishing in the Bay of Nigg, belonging to the Treasurer of Aberdeen, about twelve years ago, was first let at the low rent of £ 7 a- year; it afterwards increased to £ 14; and the fishing having been offered hy public roup, on a new lease for seven years from Andersmas next, was taken by the present tacksman, at the annual rent of £ 660 sterling. The proprietors of fishings will at once enhance the value of their own property and benefit the country, by employing honest and vigilant men to look after poachers in close time. Arrangements have been made which will render it impossible to convey foul salmon into Edinburgh even under the disguise of kipper— during the suspension of the fishing. Yesterday good cuts of salmon were selling in the southern markets at 6d. a pound.— Scotsman. PURE WATER— The following simple mode of examining a well to ascertain whether it contains any offensive substances calculated to make the water impure, is recommended in an American Paper :— Place a common mirror over Hie well iu such a position as to catch, and throw the rays of the sun to the bottom of the well, which will be instantly illuminated in a manner so brilliant, that not only the smallest articles, such as pius, needles, spoons, knives, & c. can be distinctly discerned, but also that the smallest pebblts and stones at the bottom can be as effectually examined as if they were held in the hand. The sun is in the best situation lo be reflected either iu the morning or the afternoon of the day. A STW LIGHT has been lately invented for light- houses so intense as almost to exceed credibility. It has been adopted by the Trinity House. The effect is produced by dropping a small bit of chalk lime at the jot or conjunction of two flames obtained from different gases, and impelled towards each olher. The brilliancy is so prodigious, that it casts shadows at the distance of ten miles aud more'.!— Brighton Gazette. TOMB OF HOWARD, THE PHILANTHROPIST The tomb of Howard is in the desert, about a mile from the town of Cherson ( a Russian settlement on the Black Sea); it was built by Admiral Mordvinof, and is a small brick pyramid, whitewashed, but with- out any inscription ; he himself fixed on the spot of his interment. He had built a small hut on this part of the steppe, w here he passed much of his time, as being the most healthy spot in the neighbourhood. The English burial service was read over liini by Admiral Priestman, from whom 1 had these particu- lars. Two small villas have been built at no great distance, I suppose also from the healthiness of the situation, as it has nothing else to recommend it. Howard was spoken of with exceeding respect and affection by all who . remembered or knew him— and they were many,— Life of Hcber. For Complaints in the Stomach and Bowels, which so frequently prevail at this season of the year, either from excessive heat, or partaking too freely of fruit, vegetables, & c. no medicine has been found more efficacious than Dicey's Genuine Daffy's Elixir, which may be purchased of most respectable Medicine Venders either in town or country. Particular eare should be taken to ask It r Dicey's Daffy's Elixir, and to observe that the name of DICEY & Co. is engraved 011 the Stamp. BANKRITTS, SEPT. 21.— Jus.
