These cases are grouped with much judgment, and the surgeon will receive sound and valuable information from a careful perusal of the work."— University Magazine. 41 The symptoms are described in a brief and per. pienous manner. Tbe effects of Stricture are well illustrated by a series of instructive Cases. Tbe Cases of Piles, in a satisfactory manner, point out the con. nexion of the two complaints.

THIS very important Discovery was the result of grcnl experience. The late Dr. WRIGHT, an eminent Medical Practitioner at STAF- FORD, applied himself diligently many years endeavouring to find an effectual Remedy for Ihe above alarming nnd ( too frequently) obstinate Dis eases. Alter a series of experiments, much labour, and perseverance, be at lenglh produced Ihe PEAR! OINTMENT, which, in a long nnd very extensive practice, he found lo he almost invariably successful. The present Possessor, the Doctor's Gunnison, has been in ihe habit of preparing nnd distributing it ( gratuitously) lo Ibe afflicled formally years^ with ihe same success, until at length Ibe applications for it became to numerous from different parls of the king, dsm, that he was compelled eilher to abandon the preparation of it altogether ( from the great expense which he incurred) or introduce it to the Public on sale. At the earnest entreaties of many persons of respectability, who bad witnessed its beneficial ef- fects, mid- after the most mature consideration on bis own pari, tbe Possessor lins decided upon the latter plan. The extraordinary efficacy of Ihis Ointment lias been fully proved for forty years ; ia many inve- terate cancerous cases il has effectually cured those who hud pteviously laboured under the agonizing apprehensions of surgical operations. It is entirely free from offensive smell ; nnd from the hnrmless nature of ihe ingredients, it may he applied lo children of Ihe must tender years. It is introduced under the snlictinn and recommendation of Medical Gentlemen of great eminence and respectability ; and around each Pol will he found most satisfactory Testi- monials of ils efficacy, and also a few ( of Ihe many) Affidavits of Persons who have been cured of the most inveterate cutaneous and olher diseases; which, it is presumed, nre ibe surest proofs of its claims to general confidence. In conclusion, the Public are solemnly nssured Ilia! ihis Ointment is totally unconnected with any species of quackery.

HP HE FAMILY LIBRARY, DRA ™ MATIC SERIES, No II. being the Works of PHILIP MASSINGER, Vol 2, illustrated with Ex- planatory Notes ; aud adapted to Family Reading and tbe Use of Young Persons, by the Omission of ex- ceptionable Passages. " The early Biitish Drama forms so important a Portion of our Literature, that a * Family Library'' would be incomplete without it. A formidable Ob- stacle to the Publication of our early Plays, however, consists in the occasional Impurity of their Dialogue. The Editors of the Family Library have, therefore, judiciously determined on publishing a Selection of old Plays, omitting all such Passages as are incon sistent with modern Delicacy "— Asiatic Journal. Tbe Dramatic Series of the Family Library ha been planned in such a Manner as lo promise to niak it one of the most important Features of that admirable Collection. Hitherto there has been scarcely any At tempt, certainly no successful one, at opening the im- mense Source of Poetical Treasure which is to be found in the Works of those Dramatists who flourished contemporaneously with the mightiest of them all. The Editor of this Series is liberal of Explanation and Elucidation too, where they are called for by any obvious Difficulty iu the Text. Cases of obvious Necessity alone, however, obtain bis Interference; be supplies the requisite Assistance without obtruding it; sometimes from his own Resources, at others from unobjectionable Authorities."— Monthly Review.

They do not contain the least acid, and yet are sufficiently detersive to remove the Tartar adhering to the Teeih, and making them, if ever so discoloured, of a pearly w hiteness ; and where the Enamel has been injured, their sanative properties quickly restore it, and, by cleansing the Scurvy from the Gums, such Teeth as are loose soon become fast and firm in the alveolor process.

GENTLEMEN, Lichfield, Sept. 20, 1827 FM FELLED by a sense of gratitude for L the remarkable cure I have received by. the • use of your invaluable Antiscorbutic Drops, I forward you th particulars of my case, that others w ho may he similarly afflicted may know where to apply for relief. For twenty years I had a most inveterate Scorbutic Eruption upon my arms, legs, and back of my neck, attended with the most intolerable itching aud smarting.— 1 tried various remedies, and bad the advice of Medical Men in this City, but all to no purpose: the disease increased to such a degree as to destroy my rest at night, my appetite and general health failed, and I despaired of recovery. Being recommended to give your Anti- scorbutic Diops a trial, 1 purchased a small bottle from Mr. Edwards, Druggist, of this City, and after taking Five Small Bottles, to my great astonishment, as well as that of my family, the complaint was entirely eradi- cated; and 1 am now able to follow my business, which before I was incapable of attending to.

REPEAL OF THE tlNlON. fFrom the star of Brunmick of Saturday lasi.~\ As we anticipated, the Irish Government, at an early hour this morning, issued a Prcdlamation, put- ting- down the adjourned meeting of the Anti- Union prntry, ttliieh was to have been hidden this day, at the Stephen- street Commons House of Parliament.— lis document is, retbutim, the snme as the last, merely changing the words u Irish Society for fjgal and Legislative Relief, or the Anfl Union Society," to those of" The Association of Irish Volunteers for the Repeal of Ihe Union." THE IJUKE OF LF. INSTER'S MEETING. His Grace, in conjunction with those liberals and emancipators With whom he has lieen heretofore act- ing, heving effected all the injury within their means by giving the Papists the power of accomplishing additional misthief^ have now discovered that their own fertile acres are in danger, and that the Revolu- tionists are as little likely to spare the property of their quondam friends as they are, to respect that of iheir declared enemies The plan for this meeting was arranged in private, and it is said that Mr. Pierce Mahony, who has, 011 so many occasions, been before the public, and tvhose political exertions have so frequently fallen under our notice, has been the mainspring uf the whole ehterprize. • The circular Convoking the meeting, into a parti- cipation Of Ihe proceedings at which it was attempted to inveigle several staunch and loyal Prote stants, was couched in the following terms:— " The Duke of Leinster presents his compliments to nnd requests Ihe honour of his attendance nt Morrison's Hotel, on Friday next, fbe 2t) th instant, at three o'clock, to meet a few ( Noblemen and Gentle- men, who have Keen invited in a similar manner, by tile Duke, for the purpose of considering Ihe expedi- ency of adopting some measure calculated ( 0 dis- countenance the further agitation of the question of a repeal of the legislative Union of G'reat Britain and Ireland. " Carton, Monday, 25lli October, 1830. " An answer directed to Morrison's Hotel, will olilige " Against the exclnsiveness of this meeting the Radicals and Revolutionists strongly protested. The meeting was, we understand, ( for it was strictly private, being held with closed doors,) almost ex- clusively composed of Radicals and Liberals— Doctor Pbnsouby, the Bishop of Killaloe, who distinguished ln'mself, when Dean of St. Patrick's, as the champion Of the late Queen Caroline, represented the Established Church at the Congress. Mr. Nathaniel Sncyd, Mr. Smith, of Anneshrook, and Sir Harcourf Lees, were amongst the few of the Protestants summoned, w ho attended the meeting. The latter gentleman having protested against { he mode m which the proceedings were Condm fed, and to the tenor and nature of the res- olutions p roposed, left the room before the deliber- ations had come to a conclusion. A Mr. Redmond, who has made himself somewhat conspicuous as an anti- Unionist, forced his way into the assembly, ac- companieif || y Mr. Costello, under the pretence that thev had been duly summoned ; hut whether they were thrown out of the windows or not we have not heard. Several leltrfs frere " Cnteruf as read" frorti per- sons w ho did not attend ; but tbe follow ing admirable and excellent communication, addressed by the Rev. Charles Boyton to the Noble Chairman, was, for obvious reasons, cushioned. 11 gives us at once pride and pleasure lo l e enabled to lay it before our readers and the public. As a production, it is manly, ex- plicit, and energetic, and entitles the eminently- gifted w riter to a continuance of that' which he has so often earned and received — the gratitude and acknowledg- ments of the Protestants of Ireland. The sentiments contained in the subjoined answer to the Duke of Leinster's invitation, are in unison with, and may be said to express the feeling and opinion of every loyal arid independent Protestant in the land. We adopt them as ours, and give the document as an exposition of our own views, and as applicable to the precise slale of party and feeling, in reference fo the subject of a Repeal of the Union, and the manner in which ihe question is agitated, in preference to anylhing that, we are capable of offering from ourselves. Lord Longford, Lord Mayo, Lord Farnliam, Lord Lorton, and Others, were lalely in town, and upon this topic have not been consulted. Connected with them, and w ith the great body of Irish Protestants, as tbe writer is, his ai owal of Opinion may be considered as official: The Lev. Charles Hoy ton's Reply to His Grace the Duke of Lcinster. " Mr. Boy ton presents his compliments ( 0 the Dulie of Leinster, anil acknow ledges the receipt of his Grace's note of the 25th instant. " He has to cxpfess the sense he entertains of the compliment paid him hy the Duke of Leinster, by inciting him 10 attend the proposed meeting of Ihe 20th, as well as the satisfaction he feels in avowing liis concurrence in his Grace's opinion of < Ihe expe- diency of adopting some measures calculated to dis- countenance the further agitation of the question of the tVpeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland.' " Mr. Boyton has deferred replying tn fhe Duke of Leinster's letter, until he had ascertained ( he materials of which that meeting was to be cortiposed, satisfied that'its success depended upon its structure. Mr. B. felt unwilling ( though quite aware of his own unimportance) to be accessary, by any act of his, to a measure calculated lo obstruct a thorough and united expression of opinion, upon the part of the friends of good order and. British connexion in Ireland. " Mr. Boyton regrets fo hear that 110 person of rnnk, among those who arc presumed to speak Ihe opinions and to enjoy the confidence of the middle and lower classes of the Protcslotnts, and of the great majority of the resident proprietary of Ireland, has been invited to share in Ihe proceedings of the pro- posed meeting ; hut that, 011 the contrary, its manage- ment has been committed into the hands of men whose political sentiments and conduct, however con- scientiously maintained and pursued, have unfortu nafely rendered Ihein obnoxious to those, npon whose co operation and support Ihe country lias mainly to depend at the present crisis. * Mr. Boyton, therefore, with much respect, de- clines to attend the meeting lo be held 011 Ihe 29th, satisfied that it is less likely to promote than to obstruct the object which those who have convened it propose fo accomplish. " Mr. Boyton submits to the Duke of Lcinster the grouiuls npon wfiich he conceives that 110 measure emanating; from a meeting exclusively liberal, as it is called, can be ' calculated to discountenance Ihe further agitation of the question of a repeal of Ihe Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland.' " In Ihe first place, if tlie object be, at this trying- crisis, to strengthen the executiie, by conciliating the support of the Protestants of Ireland in its favour, the writer of Ibis letter is quite assured that he speaks the sentiments of that body, when he states they are not at the present period likely to be influenced in favour of any nieastire, by the advice or example of what is called the ' liberal party' in this country " In the second place, it has been stated in the public press, that the proposed meeting has been got up by the personal enemies of Mr. O'Comiell, a sus- picion not likely lo augment the influence of any measure it may adopt, wiih the great body of Ihe Roman Catholics of Ireland. " Thirdly, it has been alleged^ that its principal movers are connected with or acting upon the part of the Government; an impression eminently calculated to diminish the support, which the Government, tinder more favourable circumstances, might derive from a free expression of public opin'tori. " And lastly, a meeting of an exclusive character, composed of individuals who have recognised the principle of agitation, as a means which may legi- timately be employed by the subject, to dictate measures of government or legislation to bis rulers, cannot wiih so much authority prohibit the use of ( hose means lo otliers, w liicli, when employed for fhe accomplishment of favourite objects bf their own, they have sanctioned anil encouraged. Mr. B., therefore, docs not think the meeting of Ihe 29th competent to originate any measures ' calculated to discountenance the further agitation of the question of llie repeal of Ihe Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland.' " Mr. Boyton would, with much respect, press upon the Duke of Leinster the expediency of post- poning lo take any definitive step, till a meeting less exclusive can be convened. Among the higher classes there can'he but one sentiment. These can, with dignity and weight, condemn a principle, llie use of which they; have ever denounced, and the consequences of which they have repeatedly foretold. Among the lower classes of Protestants, deeply dis- satisfied as they sire, the writer of this letter feels assured that the same feeling of loyalty and attach- ment to British connexion, by wlii- h they have ever been distinguished, will still be found; and that when the Government extends that amne- ty to them, which, since the late struggle, it lias extended to all other classes of British subjects, past differences will be obliterated, and present wrongs'forgotten. " Mr. Boyton would have contented himself, influ- enced by the foregoing considerations, with refraining from attending at the proposed meeting, and would not have troubled the Duke of I. einsler with this lenatfiy coiiTOIunitation, but that he conceives every well- affected person is bound to assign a reason, when lie With holds his co- operation from those, whose avowed object is to abate file disturbance of the public peace, and to support the just influence of Ihe public authorities. As he has been honomCd by the Duke of Leinster's invitation to attend, and has been solicited for a reply, it is hoped that this letter, though lengthy, lias hot exceeded the bounds which the received laws of coOrtesy will appear to'justify. " Mr. Boyton hopes that the freedom with which he has expressed himself will not be to anV person a cause of offence, as to no person is oftente intended. No one feels more anxious than the writer of this letter, for the suppression of all grounds of difference, and of all causes of animosity and disunion; nor is there any person who entertains a higher opinion of the Duke of Leinster's public integrity and private worth. " 7, Trinity College, Oct. 28, 1830." An order has been issued by the Government here, and the necessary notices prepared, for calling in frftin the different posts of the kingdom no less than 10,000 pensioners, to be immediately formed into a Veteran Battalion, and after being thus embodied, allocated as Government may deem most advisable in this country.— Dublin Morning I'ost. YFOMANRY.— The officers of tire Yermianry in this neighbourhood have had ii communication from Government on fhe subject'of calling out their corps, upon tSe event of the state of fbe country rendering that measure necessary— Erne Packet. The effects of Mr. O'Connell's movements are be ginning to be sensibly felt as well in England as ill this country. Public confidence is- shaken, and as a natural consequence, the public securities have been deteriorated. We can state upon positive authority, that an English company of capitalists who Had given a Commission for tbe investment of six hundred thousand pounds in Ireland, have, iu consequence of the excitement of the times, and the revolutionary symptoms manifested by Mr. O'Connell and his " Unionists" revoked their commission, thereby de priving this country in one instance of a capital enormous in our small scale. Our lnc. fl funds are daily decreasing, and in bank stork alone there has been a falling off of thirty six per cent, within the last year. Ill Ihe month of October, 1829, the quotation was 256, and is now reduced in value fo 220. Hie consequence of all these unhappy combinations is, that there has been a brisk demand for gold, which necessarily obliges the bank to curtail its discounts, thereby cramping the energies of trade, and drying up the very source of commerce. This falling off" has been ascribed to many causes ; but we believe that . Ihe true cause will be fotind in the state of the times, and fbe misgoveiiiment of this coufftry.-— Dublin Evening Mail.

Before assistance was obtained, the body and other parts ' were burnt so much as to cause its death in a few hours after.— Verdict, Accidental Death. The Coroner very properly took occasion to reprimand the mother of the child for neglect. HOSTILITIES AT ANTWERP. LONDON— SATURDAY.

Their Majesties expressed the pleasure which they received from this warm and cordial greeting by repeated obeisances. THE NETHERLANDS. The separation of the Belgian provinces from Holland lias been virtually recognised by tbe King of the Netherlands, in a message addressed to the Stales General.— Under date of the ! 9th Oct. the Prince of Orange directed Lieut- Col. Malherte " to repair to the Provisional Government at Brussels, and lo inform them, that taking into consideration the proclamation of the 16th of the present month, his Royal Highness thinks that the Belgians and himself have but one end in view, and desire to see it attained by ( lie same means; and the natural consequence of this state of things should be an armistice, in order that Belgic blood should no longer flow. His Royal Highness, therefore, proposes to the Provisional Government, that they should cause to cease and prohibit all move mcnts of troops at their disposal against those which still occupy a part of the Belgic provinces; and in such case he pledges himself that no attack shall be made by the troops stationed in front of Antwerp, so long as this proposed armistice shall be maintained by belli patties. The Prince further informs the Provi- sional Government that he has given freedom lo the prisoners detained on the Pontons, and whose fafe depends entirely on him." The reply of the Provi sional Government to this intimation of the Prince is not couched in the most conciliatory terms. It is to Ibis effect—" That the Provisional Government of Belgium, before being able to take any determination relative to the proposition of the Prince— namely, t prohibit all movements of troops at the dispr saj of the said government against the hostile troops still iu Belgium, they must be well convinced— 1st. That these hostile troops are dependant entirely and exclu sively 011 the Prince of Orange, and obey him as their sole General- in- Chief.— ® L That he lias first given orders to evacuate Antwerp, the town of Macstricht and the citadel of Termonde, to retire beyond the Moerdyk, in Holland.— 3d. That this order will be punctually executed, and that with Ihe least delay possible : and Ihe Provisional Government will mime tlialely set al liberty all the Dutch prisoners, when ihere 110 longer remains a single Belgian detained by force in Holland." According to Ihe Dutch papers last received, Ihe King of Ihe Netherlands has, by a Royal Ordonnance. revoked all the powers which he had previously delegated to the Prince of Orange, to conciliate the Belgians and to hold the sovereignly of Ihe revolted provinces pro tempore, anil accredits the military government of Antwerp, Maestricht, and ( he only other place which he retains, as the sole authorised representatives of his authority. By a still later account a meeting of all the foreign Ambassadors has taken place at the Hague, to consider a proposition of Ihe King of the Netherlands respecting the stale Belgium ; antl that an expose on the present political . situation of the Netherlands would be sent to all the great powers. The Lynchburg, Virginia Paper, of 19th August, gives a long account of the execution of a man named Jones, and of his extraordinary conduct orr the scaffold, in the following words:—" About three o'clock he signified to the Town Serjeant his reatli- ness for the last act of. the affecting tragedy. His hands and feet were then, as is customary, tied together, the former behind him, and the rope adjusted to the transverse beam of the gallows, when, with a calmness and indifference, equalled only by his firmness, he pulled off his shoes, stripped off his coat, partially unbuttoned his vest, and unfastened the collar of his shirt, and then with ail unshaken step mounted the scaffold!!'" Now, of a verity, these are very extraordinary performances for a man iu his situation, with his hands and feet tied ; hut these Americans are such a marvellously clever people! We once heard of a Kentucky man, whose amazing strength was attended with very fatal conse- quences. He was cutting a slicc of bread and butter, when the knife slipped, and cut himself in half, and two men behind him!

On Monday, fhe 25th, the Prince of Orange left Antwerp, after having issued a parting proclamation in the same conciliatory tone which marked his former acts. The separation between the Dutch and Belgian troops seems to have previously been effected, and the command, which had been taken' from the Prince, was in Ihe hands of the Dutch General. Immediately after the departure of the Prince, the p- ople in Antwerp prepared to attack the King's t oops, while the Belgian army, under General Mellinet and Col. Niellnn, advanced towards the ramparts from without. The people within the city w. re generally successful in their attacks, and dn/ ve the Dutch from most of their posts; anil one of the gates being soon after openSil to the Belgians without, the troops of the King, to the number of 4000 men, were obliged to retire into the citadel with great loss. A negotiation then conurtenccd between tlie Belgians and this garrison for a surrender of tiie citadel also, but it was made a Condition by the former that the Dutch in ( lie citadel should deliver up not only the materiel of the fortress, but their arms, and the ships of war in the port.- If these demands ( which are mentioned in the Brussels papers) were really made, can scarcely bave been expected that they won hi be complied wilb.—' l in y we're refused On VVedncs. y afternoon a cannonade commenced : it is not expressly stated by whom the first shots were fired, ' ut it is previously mentioned that eighteen pieces of uttering artillery had been pointed againSt the citadel and the Belgians, from whom we derive the account, tlo not assert that it was commenced by the Dulch. It seems, therefore, most probable that the Dutch did not beain the hostilities; but whoever began them, one of the consequences was the setting fire to the ity in two places. The extent of the mischief done is not yet known ;— the nmgazii C for bonded goods is known to have been burned, with about 70' houses-' The cathedral is said to have been but little injured, The last authentic intelligence is, tliaf the people of, Antwerp had requested a cessation of arms for the purport of renewing negotiations with the garrison of the Citadel. Macsfricht is also infested ; the Dutch are likely 0011 to lose ( heir last holds in Belgium. The Dutch people we belieVe, on ( he faith of recent information as to the stale of feeling in Holland, to be quite as anxious as the Belgians for a separation ; and the loss of Antwerp, though the King was pro- bably desirous of retailing it, will be received hy thein with pleasure. Indeed, srmie persons imagine it will soon be perceived that the Dutch have gained most by the change— and this they confidently anti cipate; tlieir trade, which was shackled for the sake of the manufacturers of Belgium, vrill soon be free : they will have the exclusive possession of the fine colonics which anciently belonged to tliem : antl they will have the advantage of a Government exclusively national, and not distracted by an attention to the wants and interests of a people of entirely different character and pursuits from themselves. As to Antwerp iri particular, its growing importance as a place of commerce has naturally excited the jealousy of the people of Amsterdam ; and its continuance, if it had been possible to retain it, under the Dutch Government wonltl have been rather a cause of dis- content ( ban of satisfaction. It is only to be lamented that the separation, which seems inevitable between ( he two countries, has not been accomplished without occurrences which may produce a national enmity between two neighbouring States The interference of Foreign Powers will now probably, be directed, to allay this enmity, and to settle, in the character of friendly mediators, the terms of the separation.— It is certain that some decided course must be adopted to put an end to the scenes now acting iu the Netherlands'.

Extracts from Reviews of RelVs Geography. u The author of the System of Geography before us, i* certainly one of the fi; s! critical geogiaphers in this country. His judgment and discrimination must be now familiar to our readers— and judgment, with a proper scepticism and enthusiasm in the cause of a noble and favourite science, are attributes that must ensure success in any branch of inquiry. We have before us many geographical works of the highest importance, but they are chiefly in foreign languages, and this is the case with tbe best system of geography now extant,— that of Rilter. It was praiseworthy, then, in a town which preceded Edinburgh in its literary care « v, to undertake a system of geography, which by its plan and iu its execution should be adapted " for almost all classes of readers, and which deserves the kindliest reception of every one ; for we have no hesitation in saying, that if continued with the same skill and spirit, it will be the best work on geography in the English language.''— Fdinburgh Journal of Natural and Geographical Science. " As far as we are able to judge of this work, it appears lo be one of the very best upon ibis eompre bensive subject which has yet been given to the public. It is clearly and philosophically arranged, and written in a style of great perspicuity mid vigour The maps and embellishments are executed in the first style of art ; and altogether, we consider it due to ihe spirited conductors of the . work, to, express our conviction, that it will be found a truly scientific and excellent system of geographical knowledge/'— Edin- burgh Literary Journal. " This is really a work of grertt merit. It is the production of a man who has been longand favourably known to the public by his geographical researches, and who consequently brought to the- peiforiuance of his task, a thorough knowledge of the subject iu all its ramifications and details-, and hence it is filled with the amplest and most accurate information, arranged in the most lucid order, and conveyed in a style remarkable alike for its precision aud perspicu- ity. The author's ambition seems to have been, lo condense Ihe greatest possible vrfiount of information into the least possible compass; and so well has he succeeded iu this, that large as ihe work is, it still seems too small for the materials compressed into it, and literally overflows with knowledge. Upon the whole, then, we can safely recommend Mr. Bell's work to the public, as altogether the best system ol Geography which has yet appeared, and as worthy of a place iu every library which has a corner devoted to Geographical Science.' 1— North Briton. " The public owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Bell, for the popular and compendious form in which he has embodied a vast mass of geographical, historical, and statistical knowledge. The work will be found a valuable adjunct in the school, the library, and the merchant's counting. house.' 1— Liverpool Mercury. " Every person who is anxious for correct geo. graphical information, should purchase this work without delay."— Vo/ A- Herald. We know of no literary undertaking of the present day, more highly deseiving of encouragement and patronage than this excellent publication. We can bear our warn'fest testimony to Ihe very superior sly le oflhe publication, to ttie comprehensive design of the author, aud to the general fidelity and taste of the execution — tietfast Guardian."

WM. GREGORY, Clerk to the Trustees of the said Turnpike Road. WHITCHURCH, NOV. 1ST, 1830. ( From the Kent Herald?) . On Thursday night, about 12 o'clock, the premises of Mr. Knight, a farmer ( and overseer) at Borden, near Stttingbourne, were discovered to be iti flames. A man was left to superintend some brewing, when he was suddenly startled bv a strong glare of light, anil upon going out to observe the cause, ascertained that the barn, which Was situated b'dt a few rods from the dwelling house, was in a complete blaze, and. that the wind was rapidly communicating the flames to the thatched roof of the house. With the utmost terror the man proceeded to alarm the family, which with some difficulty he accomplished— and scarcely bad tbey left the premises, which they did almost in a state of nudity,' wheii the roof fell in, and not an article was rescued from the devouring element. YVc Understand that Mr. Knight had only entered on the farm at Michaelmas last, and that the barn am1 other outbuilding contained an immense quantity of corn, bay, and straw, which, with the dwelling bouse, was destroyed. An express was sent to Milton for the engines belonging to the Kent Fire- olHcc, but before their arrival the work of destruction was complete. We are sorry to find tbat Mrs. Knight is much in disposed in consequencc of this sudden and awful calamity. The loss is estimated at between £ 1200 and £ 1400, but as the house and furniture are insured io the Kent Fire- office, we have reason to believe that, Mr. Knight's actual loss will not be much above £ 100. The house and the adjoining land are the property of Valentine Simpson, Esq. We need not add, that this destructive tire has created much alarm iti the neighbourhood of Sittingbonrne. Many of the farmers arc so terrified at the appearance of the rioters, who art? represented as marching about in great numbers, breaking the machines in open day, 1 ttnil many of them armed witb hatchets, hammers, saws, and even guns, which they discharge in the midst of cheering when their work of destruction is accomplished. Indeed, so rituch terror is excited in the neighbourhood of Sittingbourno, that it was found necessary to station a military force there; and a troop of the 7th Dragoohs frorti our barracks left this place on Tuesday afternoon. There can he little doubt but that the lire above stated was the work of incendiaries: it is Said that about an hour before it was discovered, a cart, driven by two suspicious- looking fellows was seen on the high road, and that immediately on the alarm being given, some people beard, or fancied they heard, the sound of cart- wheels in the contrary direction from Sittingbourne. A correspondent of a London evening newspaper has a different and more singular version of this mysteri- ous affair. « There can be no doubt," says tliat in- dividual, " that the above- mentioned fire was the work of incendiaries. It is said that about an hour before it took place, an elderly female, who resides in a cottage adjoining the residence of Mr. Knight, and which is ( inly a few paces distant from the high road, was startled by the unusual sound of carriage- wheels. Having got out of bed, she crept softly to Ibe window ; She had not been there above ten minutes, when she heard some one approach the carriage, who, as if ad- dressing himself to some one in the vehicle, said, iti a low voice, ' Well, it's done!' The other answered^ ' Are you sure of that?' To which the first speaker is stated to have rejoined, ' Clean done, by G— d !' The carriage then diove off at a rapid rate. The old lady was dreadfully alarmed and had made tip her mind to communicate what she had beard to Mr. Knight next morning; but before day dawned the mysterious language was too plainly interpreted. On Saturday evening last, a barn, filled with corn, belonging to Mr. Alridge, at Shiphorne- green, was discovered to be on fire, and notwithstanding every effort to arrest, the progress of the tlanies, it was quickly reduced to ashes. There were several stacks of corn close by, which frequently caught fire, but they were only partially burnt. We are sorry to say, that there is every reason to suspect that the premises were maliciously set on fire, and the perpetrators, with their usual impunity, have eluded discovcr'y. The farm and buildings are the property of Edmund Yates, Esq. of Fair Lawn. Mr. Aldridgc's farming stock wtis, we understand, insured in the Norwich Union- office. We are glad to state that the Tun- bridge engine arrived in time lo be of great service in preserving some corn and hay. The farmers in this neighbourhood, although they have yet escaped this most diabolical species of outrage, are labouring un- der the most serious apprehensions forthe safely of their properties. In addition to the above, another fire took place at Ash, near Wingham, on the same evening, the cause of which is not ascertained, though sunie reports state it to have been accidental. ' Flic property, which be- longed to Mr. Quested, of Ash, consisted of gi- atten which had been stacked, and being dry, burnt with considerable fury. The same gentleman's premises were visiled at an early hour on Sunday morning, by a gang of men, who broke open the stable door, and turned 14 or 15 horses into the road. It was sup- posed they intended to ( ire the premises and took the humane precaution to liberate the poor animals ; fortunately, they were disturbed by some persons who were watching, and precipitately left the yard without committing any further violence. The same night, about 12 o'clock, the barn of Mr. Robert Castle, of Salutation farm, near St. Clement's Church, Sandwich, was discovered to be on tire* and was, with ( He contents, totally destroyed, as also the stables, outhouses, stacks, & c. Most fortunately there was no wind, or the destruction to that part of fhe town must have been horrible, from there being a scarcity of water in that neighbourhood. The barns, we have been given to understand, were first fired, or rather espied to be on fire; but scarcely had the dis covery been made than the stacks of corn, & c were in a blare, beyond hitman power to control. The glare of light, and cries of alarm, soon aroused tbe in- habitants to a sense of danger; and, although quickly on the spot, their assistance proved unavailing, inso- much that the whole property, excepting the dwelling house, was totally consumed. It is supposed that the bare fact of Mr. Castle's having a threshing machine on his premises was the cause of this visitation, as a better man or master, we understand, cannot exist. As in similar cases, there were numbers of labouring men calmly looking on, and actually smoking pipes at the time, nor did they offer the least assistance; hut for the praiseworthy exertions of the inhabitants of Sandwich the damage might have been incalcula- ble. We have not heard whether Mr. Castle's pro- perty was insured. A watch and ward lias been voluntarily established at Sandwich, consisting of tradesmen and gentlemen, twenty of whom patrol every nightfrom nine till five. On Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, a stack of barley was discovered to be on fire on a farm belong- ing to the Earl of Darnley, at Cobham hall; as soon as it was known, the Kent and Sun Fire- office en- gines were despatched to the spot, and by prompt exertions the fire was prevented from extending io the adjoining stacks. In the present alarming state of the country, it was deemed prudent to keep the Chatham engines at home. Several farmers in Ihe neighbourhood have laid aside the use of their thrash- ing machines. Large parties of men, armed with bludgeons, have been seen on the road below Rainhani, and signal rockets occasionally observed in different directions. There can be little doubt, we fear, that the fire originated with some of the burning gang, as from the situation of the stacks they were placed be- yond the risk of accidental ignition. We are told that soon after the conflagration began, a party of men, twelve or fifteen in number, were seen crossing the road from Shorne- wood to Brewer's- wood ; and that in fhe course of the day some suspicious elm racters were lurking in tbe neighbourhood. The evil spirit which seems to pervade the agricultural la- bourers, was discovered in this, as on similar occasions. Nearly 200 of these fellows were present during the fire, but they refused, to a man, to assist in extinguish- ing it. iT The next outrage was perpetrated on Sunday night, atStockbury, about five miles from Maidstone. The victim 011 this occasion was Mr. Dawson, farmer, who had a fine stack of clover entirely destroyed by fire. The labourers refused here also to assist, and even paraded in a body through the village, preceded by a black flag. Mr. T>, iwson was insured to the full amount of his loss in the Phrenix Office. On Tuesday evening, about six o'clock, a fire was discovered at Selling Court, the residence of Mr. John Neame ( Steward to Lord Sondes). It broke out in the barn, and was first seen by a boy who was passing, and who gave the alarm. Mr. Neame Was in Canter- bury at the time, but was summoned to the spot as early as possible. The Faversham engine soon ar- rived, and three from Canterbury followed as quickly as time would allow. The barn, which was well stocked with corn, was entirely destroyed, as also some outhouses, and pigsties, together with three fine pigs, whiclj could not lie extricated. The fire was got under V/ ith less destruction of property than was at t cipated at ( irst—£ 1000 is said to le the extent, and it, is presumed that Mr. Neame was. insured. Great fears were entertained for some large stacks which were situated at a short distance from the ham, but which were most fortunately saved. Very effectual assistance was afforded by tbe Fuversham dredgers, who arrived iu great numbers, and whose Conduct was most praiseworthy. The labouring uiCn looked Coolly on, nor offered any effectual assistance Au attempt, was even made by some parties to cut the pip'es of one of the engines An alarm of tire reached this city about ten o'clock last, evening, which proved to be nt. a shed" belonging FRANCE As was to be expected, a change is taking place iri, the French Cabinet. From the first it was not sd organized tis to present any rational chance of holding together, of satisfying the expectations of. the tri- ll nphant people. The persons composing it ifr re nieit w- hose talents were greater in weaving theories of go- vernment than reducing them to practice. It was found that when tliey got into power tbey b" gan fo look vtpoo political affairs in a different light from that in which Ihey regarded then) when in < pposition. A!. Guizot, who had clamoured most sfnenuonsly, fo. t1 the liberty of the press, and who bail highly approved of it when directed against the Polignac administra- tion, soon showed that, he ' lid not. consider it to lie srt with the utmost despatch, but fortunately the| fire was got under before they cleared Ihe town. Reports have also readied us of two fires in tlic Isle of Sheppy, but though seen iii the distance, no partieu'ars of the fact have arrived. In several instances, we hear, the labourers have li iisted the tricolorired flag to Mr. Berry, of Bougbtoti hill. The engines went off C immendable when directed to the surveillance of liis own measure!!. Perhaps the steps takeil by M. Guizot to restrain the licentiousness of Ihe press.,. and to ob- tain stronger guarantees for its dependence upon go-, verniii'nt, might have been defensible upon good grounds, though they do not. appear t" have been so j hut, coming from such a quarter, tbet1 were received with no small degree of indignation, People could hot lielji contrasting thorfi wijji ( lit tone adopted b^ the liberals before they were ministers. The Chamber of Deputies is by no me.- lur; pippular. A strong feeling prevails among those who have the direction of the unit), that the Chamber have acted cavalierly in taking tbe. supreme power of itself as i) t ipere matter of course, without consulting the people. It is remembered lhat some of the most flaming of the pa liamentary patriots did not appear to aid' Hid revolution until the victory itas oyer, and that their1 regard for their country was at least equalled by f lie I r regard for themselves. If there were a new clt ctiou, iind the right to be chosen extended, as it probably will be, to men of twenty five years of age, there woitld be . a change of at least half tbe members of the lower bouse. The fact cannot be concealed that Ihe half mea\ iine party has now no solid support in France. The old ultras, seeing that there is no hope of restoring Charles \ , have, as is usual in such cases, joined their quondam' antagonists, the extreme left, and a more revolutionary ministry in appointed. THUKSIIING MACHTNIS— S'fice our last publica- tion the following depredations have been committed by Ihe machine- breakers iu Ibis neighbotirhoo 1, who, on Saturday irght, visited the premises of Mr. Gard- ner, at B'- aksboriie, about a mile and a half f. otn tliis City, where they broke open the premises, and so com- pletely destroyed the threshing mad. Lie, th it not a wheel or any other part was left whole ; and on the same night another was broken belonging to Mr. Harvey, at. Cold Harbour Farm; and one at Chalk- Pit Farm, the property of Mr. Friday. About, ten o'clock ou Saturday morning, n party of men prod eded to a spot near Ihe Three Colts, nt S& ndwich, and in the face of day deliberately destrov- • ed a machine there. I In addition to the above, no less than nine machines were on Monday destroyed in the course of the day, belonging to Mr. Douce, Mr. Fox, Mr. Culmcr, and Mr. Adley, at. Stourmouth ; Mr. Southee, at Gold- stone, Mr. Petley, at Overland, Mr. Spain, at St. Bartholomew's Farm, and Mr. Nethersole, near Sand- wich. On Tuesday, between 20 and 30 men, suspected of being connected with the above outrages, were ap- prel ended bv the military and peace officers; and after undergoing an examination before the magistrates at the Sessions- house, twelve were committed to St. Augustine's gaol, and the remainder discharged, there not being sufficient evidence for their detection. MACHINE BRKAKKBS.— A few days ago, a gang of these desperadoes, nearly fifty in number, sur- rounded a barn belonging to Mr. Benstead, a farm; r, near Ospringe, in which some labourers were cntagi d in threshing cortr. The latter were peremptorily re- quested to desist front their occupation ; and on their expressing reluctance to obey the mandate, they were forcibly dragged from the barn try the gang, and obliged to accompany them on a machine- breaking expedition. On Tuesday, about 200 machine- breakers passed through Charing and Lcuham, on their way towards Maidstone, endeavouring to get others to joirt them, and spreading alarm wherever they went. TIIRFATKNING LETTKRS.— Several highly respect- able gentlemen in this vicinity have been annoyed with threatening letters lately. One of these slaughtef- breathing epistles was actually sealed with blood, and not only threatened destruction to fhe gentle- man's property unless certain conditions were fulfilled, but also the murder of his bailiff. It may be as well to slate, that the most effectual measures are in opera- tion to detect the offenders, and any attempt, either to repeat the threats or to carry them into execution, will most assuredly be followed by detection iilid the severest penalties of tile law.— Maidstone Journal. A great many farmers and gentlemen in this neigh- bourhood have received letters, threatening the destruction of their premises. fiSisceUancouo EntriUgencc. OLD BAILEY.— The bill of indictment which was returned against Mr. St John Long on Tuesday, contained six counts, each terminating in charging a felonious killing a'nd staying of MiSs Catherine Cash in, but. varying from each other by the omissiott or modification of sofne one or other of the particular averments, from which the jury deduce this conclusion. The first coirut. charged, that he, with a certain in- fl unmatory and dtfngerotts liquid, secretly prepared and mixed hy himself, dkt feloniously rub, wash, and sponge the hack of Miss Casliin, or did Cau.^ e anil procure the same to be rubbed, washed, and sponged, lie well knowing ihe said liquor to be inflammatory aril dangerous; aud tbat by such rubbing, he diet cau « e, give, and procure to be given, one mortal in^ flammation and wound upon her badf* of the length of eight inches, of the width of four inches, arid of the depth of two inches; crnd that, by tfieans of slich rubbing, & c. lie did feloniously catise arid proctire her* to become mortally sick and diseased; and that of said sickness and wound she languished from the 3il of August till the 17th, and that on f| l'£ latter day she did die. The count concluded by the jurors averring upon their oath that the said John St; Joint Long did 11re said Catherine Cashin, in manner and form aforesaid, feloniously kill and slay. The trial of Mr. St. John Long came onO'n Saturday morning at the Old Bailey, before Jifilges Park and Garrow ; and about seven in the evening a verdict of " guilty" of manslaughter was returned by the jury< — Sentence was deferred. PARLIAMENT assembled on Tuesday; but the only business transacted was the election of a Speaker by the House of Commons. The choice again fell on the Right Hon. Charles Manners Sutton, to whose talents; amiable anil dignified demeanour, purity of character, and inflexibly impartial Conduct, all parties bore most honourable testimony ; and the vote so unanimously passed in his favour must have been as gratifying to his feelings as it was creditable to the general sense anil discrimination of. the House. His Majesty's approval of tbe choice of the Commons was communicated on Wednesday through the l. enl Chancellor ; after which the Speaker proceeded to swear in Members. The same proceeding was con- tinued on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. On Tuesday the King will go in State to the House of Lords to open the business of the Session with a Speech from the Throne. On Wednesday the King held Iris first Levee for the season at St. James's Palace.— At the Levee, after the address from the Corporation of Dublin had been presented to the King, bis Majesty said to the Lord Mayor that he should pay his Irish dominions a visit in tire course of the ensuing year. ' Fhe Queen tfas also pleased to say tbat she too should acconipany her Royal Consort to that country. Mr. Donaldson, of Bi'mtghton Hall, a gentleman long connected with tbe Edinburgh Advertiser, and who- te death was announced in oitr paper of Monday, has left property to the amount of £ 220,000, the whole of which lie has destined to be employed in the foundation of an hosuital for orphan and destitute children, to be erected in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. Annuities to the extent of only £ 1000 to £ 1200 to the relations of the deceased are the only exceptions to this splendid foundation, and these fall with the lives of tile annuitants.— Edinburgh Paper. A melancholy proof of the distressed state of agriculture in Buckinghamshire, is furnished by the fact tbat the entire parish of Wotton Underwood ( with the exception of a small farm belonging to another individual), comprising about 5,300 acres of land, belonging to the Duke of Buckingham, is advertised to be let; the tenants either having left, or given notice to quit. Two farms in the neigh- bouring parish of Brill, one in Ihe parish of Hilles- don, and one in each of the parishes of Stoke Mandeville, Weston Turville, and Weedon, all of which belong fo the Noble Duke, are likewise ad- vertised to be let.- The Irish Papers Contain a statement of a recent transaction, called an " affair of honour," between Sir Henry Hardirlge and Mr. Daniel O'Connell. It began, as usual, by the lalter individual employing the most offensive and outrageous terms of personal insult towards Sir Henry Hardinge; and, as usual also, ended by an absolute denial of justice towards the injured gentleman, Mr. O'Connell declaring his resolution not to fight. Proceedings of precisely. the same nature have so often already come before the public,— we mean with regard to Mr. O'Connell,— that there are few people in society, and certainly no members of the press, who have not long since felt thems' Ives called upon to pronounce an opinion upon the moral taste and gentlemanly feeling exhibited by the personage in question. A determination against duelling, under ordinary cir'euinstances, could reflect no disgrace on Mr. O'Conuell, iior on ailv other man professing the faith of a Christian. On Ihe contrary, it is possible that the best of men would be the foremost to form such a determination, and Ihe least ashamed to act upon it through evil report and good. But there is a s » cond resolution, perefectly indispensa- ble towards explaining and justifying the above non- combat system,— viz. that of scrupulously and re- ligiously abstaining from the display of manners, or the Utterance of language, likely to wound the honour of other individuals, and to place them in the pre- dicainent of receiving insults which they are forced to put up with, from the known impossibility of obtain- ing redress at the hands of a calumniator shooting poisoned arrows, and cased from top to toe iu Impenetrable brass. What is now the value and amount of Mr. O'Connell's decision against duelling? Is it a pledge of peace and forbearance towards the rest of society ? If it were, there are none who could fail to iv*|> ect and applaud him.— But it is no such thing. It is a Claim to play the persecutor, tyrant, and ruffian, with impunity,- to slander every man, however innocent and honest,— to hold up every political or private adversary as a mark for abhor- Once, and perhaps assassination, to a brutal mob,— to inflict at will the grossest injuries on bis neighbours, — to point his own transient ctprice, whatever it may he, with the hornet's sting,— and, when taken to account for all this baseness, to declare that his conscience, thus libertine in crime— his conscience !— is too straight- laced for penitence, redress, or resti- tution ! Words cannot paint an extremity of baseness beyond tbis.— Times. SENTENCE ON MR. ST. J014N I. ONO. MONbA^. The above individual was this morning brought itp to receive tlie sentence of the court, having bcetf convicted on S> UurdHy evening of tbe manslaughter of Miss Catherine Cashin. The bench Was very fully attended try persons who bail given their evidence in favour of the prisoner, among wh'otif wette noticed the Marquis and Marchioness of Ormonde, Mattpiis of Sligo, the Master of the Rolls, Sir J. LeaCh, Lady L- aeh, Marquis of Aylesbury, and a numberof Oth'eM of great respectability. At twelve o'clock the prisoner entered the dock itt a very dejected state. Tho RECORHKR informed him thrft he had been found guilty of the manslaughter of Miss Catherine Cashin, and that the sentence of the Court was that he should pay £ 250, or remain in Newgate till the same was paid. The fine vvas paid immediately, and tbe prisoner1 retired amidst the Congratulations of his friends, ami left the court- yard of the Old Bailey, scaled in th « curricle of the Marquis of Sligo. As his Grac'C the Duke of Wellington was return- ing, on Tuesday, after ojrening of Ihe new Parlia". ment, to Downing- street, he was followed by a great mob, who kept hooting and hissing all Ihe way, and it was with the greatest difficulty his Grace was able to alight iu safety, as it is said the most violent threats were uttered against him, by the ruffians, who were probably a gang of thieves and pickpockets. Accounts were received in town, on Wednesday, of the sudden demise of two noblemen of ancient families— the Earl of Beverley at Nice, in tbe South of France ; and tbe Earl of Ashburnham, at Ashburn- ham- place, in Sussex.

Henry IV. of France and de Schombcrg.— On the eve of action, de Scbomberg, the general of the German auxiliaries, was pressed by bis troops to ask- Henry for their pay. The king, destitute of funds was irritated at the request. " A man of courage," he replied, " would not have asked for money on tlte eve of battle," The next morning, while preparing for action, Henry perceived the general, and thin accosted him : —" Schomberg, I have insulted yon, and as this day may be the last of my life, I would not carry away the honour of a gentleman, and be unable to restore it. I know your valour, and ask your pardon: embrace me."- " Your majesty wounded me yesterday — you kill me to- day," re- plied the veteran, overcome ; and he spoke truth, for he perished in the battle.— Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Ciiclopadia, Vol. XII.; being Vol. /. of the History of Fra nce. ANIMALS EDUCATING THEIR YOUNG.— Many animals really educate their young. Birds of prey, for exampl", which teach their young not only to flv at and seize their prey, but also to Catch it dexterously on the wing. The author lias observed falcons and hawks, training their young in this manner. I lodged said he from 1794 to 170S, in one of the coinbles of the Louvre. The building was not then finished, aud contained many birds of prey, which not lieing molested in a city where it is not permitted to shoot them, were quite tame.— My window looking into the square court of the Louvre, I bad. many opportu- nities of seeing the birds. At the time when the voung ones were beginning to fly, I have often seen Ihe old birds coining with a dead mouse or sparrow in their talons, hovering over the court, and calling to the young birds which remained in the nest The latter came forth on bearing their parents, aud flut- tered under them in tbe court. The old birds then rose perpendicularly, apprising their scholars of the circumstance by a loud cry, and let fall the prey, on which the young birds precipitated themselves. At the first lessons, with whatever care the old birds dropped Ihe mouse or sparrow, so as to fall near tbe young ones, it was seldom that tbe latter caught the object; and, when tbey failed, Ihe old birds came down like a ball, and carried it off Ircfore it bid reached the ground— They then ascended to repeat the lesson, and never allowed their pupils to eat the prey until Ihey had caught it in the air. When t. « young birds had become perfect at this cxerci- e, lie old ones brought them living birds, and rep a e i the above manoeuvre uulil the former were able to ca li them, and had consequently learned to provide for themselves.— Le Globe.

Now what is this but raising money at the expense Of others to provide for family dependents?

DINNER TO LORD COMBERMER'E. MR. COKE. From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle. On the 15th of the present month ( Oct.) a public dinner was given at Wisbeach, " to celebrate the return of Mr. Adeane and I- ord Francis Osborne for flic county of Cambridge, in opposition to the aris- tocratic influence." Al this dinner Mr. Coke is reported to have said, " No man admired more than he did thc constitution ; lie had sat a long time in the House of Commons, and he became more than ever convinced of the necessity of a reform— a reform which would prevent the introduction of the minions of the aristocracy, whicli would pot ah end to proceedings like those which had been witnessed at Newark and nt Stam- ford. He dared not trust to his feelings to reprobate the conduct of the aristocracy, who by their influence sent their minions to the House of Commons, and thus found means, at tbe expense of others, to pro- vide for the younger and dependent branches'of their families." Sir. Coke is a highly respected gentleman, and when people hear him thus properly reprobating the conduct of thc aristocracy, they necessarily conclude that he himself is an honest man, and not in any way contaminated : that he is no plunderer of the people, that he has not sought and " found means at the expense of others to provide for the younger and dependent branches of his own family," and above all, ( hat he has not done so, on any claim fo be one of tbe aristocracy— much less, that he has made this the ground for obtaining a larger sum from the taxes than the salary nf the Prime Minister himself. How surprised will the reader be to see it proved that Mr. Coke, Whig- like, has done all these things, and actually has received, and i.< still receiving, large lumps of money, extorted by taxation, and that too of the worst kind— taxes levied solely for his use, without even the pretence of their being levied for the state— without any act of parliament authorising their being levied for him, and contrary to the opinion of the law officers of the Crown that they could not be legally levied for his use. It appears by Ihe memorial of Thomas William Coke, Esq of Holkham, dated in July, 1826 ( see Parliamentary Paper, No. 241, p. 77— Session, 1829), fl. at King Charics the SeCond granted to Richard Tufton, Esq. afterwards Earl of Thanet, a lease of thc lighthouse at Dungcness, in the comity of Kent, nt. thc annual rent of £ 6. 13s. 4d. That Thomas Lord Lovel ( afterwards Earl of Leicester) married the daughter of the Earl of Thanet, and obtained a new lease at the annual rent of £ 6. 13s. 4d. That this lease expired im the 24th June, I73T, and that King George tbe Second then granted to the said Earl another lease at thc same annual rent. By these leases a tax of onfe penny per' toil Was extorted from every ship every time she passed the Lighthouse. Mr. Coke says; « Tour nlemorialst's ancestor, tbe said Thomas Earl of Leicester, married thc daughter of thc said Richard Earl of Thanet; that, under and by virtue of the w ill of the said Earl, your memori- alist is now entitled to the said Lighthouse and to the tolls thereof; that the said 1 jghthouse has been under the care and in the possession of your memori- alist's ancestors and family since the time of King Charles thc Second to the present time, and he is desirous that he and his family should be allowed to retain the possession and Care thereof." The lease would expire on the 24th Jtme, 1828, a d Mr. Coke prays that a new lease may be granted to him. Air. Coke " dared not to trust himself to speak of thc conduct of the aristocracy who found melius to provide, at thc expense of others, for the younger and dependent part of their families." Yet here he identifies himself with this aristocracy, and shows that, his ancestors and himself have had thc means, ' at the expense of others, of providing for the younger nnd dependent jJart of his own family' for a Century and a half uninterruptedly. The amount of public money thus pocketed by Mr. Colic and his ancestors must have exceeded half a million sterling. This tax was considered so unjust, that iu 1822, when the shipping interest w'as greatly depressed, a select committee was appointed by the House of Commons to inquire respecting the'charges on ship- ping, and among other matters reported ( 3d Report on Foreign Trade) that—" There is another descrip- tion of light- houses, nf which the patents have been produced to your committee, the erection of which have been at different times assigned to individuals by the crown, with power to collect dues thereon. The lights of Dungencss, Harwich, Winterlon, Or- ford, Spurn, and Yarmouth, are there alluded to." Thc committee further stale, that they have reason to believe that great incomes are derived by those who have charge or care of them, and therefore " feel it incumbent on them to suggest ( on the ex- piration of the grants of all these light- houses) that the patents, instead nf being granted to individuals, should be transferred to tlie Trinity House, and the lights made subject to some conditions, and placed in every respect on the same footing as the other lights under their management. 1 r The Privy Council for Trade, in a letter to thc Trinity House, dated 30th October, 1822, express their approbation of . the report of the Select Com- mittee, nnd a hope that the suggestions of thc com- mittee will be attended to. In January, 1826, the Trinity House remind the I^ prtls of the Treasury that thc grant of Durtgeness Lighthouse will expire in June, and express a hope that it will not be renewed, but will be transferred to that corporation for the public use; but the agent of Mr. Coke addressed the Treasury on the 2d of March, and stated, " that thc- said lighthouse, and tolls or tines, have been always, from time to time, made the subject, of family settlements ;. nd arrangements, and treated as a part of the family estate, and settled ther with as leasehold renewable under the crown for ii period of nearly i50 years." On ( lie 16th November, 1828, the Lords of the Treasury renew to Mr. Coke a grant of the light- house for 21 years, with power to collect from all shipping a rate of one halfpenny a ton, and that after deducting the expense of ' collecting and of maintain- The inhabitants of Nanl\< ich and fhe neighbour- hood determined lo evince their respect for their gallant countryman, the Hero of Bhurtpore, and at the same time their attachment to the ancient and honourable house of Cotliberinere, by inviting the Right Hon.

The idea was no soon'eC conceived than it was adopted with alacrity, and a Committee of ten gentlemen appointed to carry it into effect. Oil Friday se'nnight, two gentlemen, a deputation from the Committee, wailed upon the noble and gallant lord, to communicate the wishes of the inhabitants. He received the deputation with his characteristic kindness and cordiality, and intimated his readiness to comply with their wishes on Tuesday. The most active preparations were immediately made in the town, and nothing left tllldone on the part tff file inhabitants to give fheit' gallant coun- tryman a reception suitable to their regard for himself personally, and their attachment to his family. Opposite the house of Mr. Parkes, plumber, ill Welsh Row, was erected a splendid triumphal arch, with banners pendant on each side, aiid sur- mounted with the inscription of Hail to llie noble . Hero of Bhurtpore;" another was erected opposite the house of Mr. Welsh, coach. maker, in Hospital- street ; the Crown Inn, was decorated internally and externally with a profusion of laurel, as were indeed almost all the houses in Ihe town— and over the door of a shop in the neighbourhood of the Crown, the word " Rhurtpore," was emblazoned in variegated lamps.— The large room in the Crown Inn, was tastefully fitted up and decorated with wreaths of laurel, interspersed with flags and ban- ners bearing inscriptions laudatory of the Cheshire Hero, and expressive of the devotion to his family ; and at the bottom of the room the word " Bhurt- pore," in variegated lamps, formed a prominent object. The whole of the decorations, & c. as well as the marsKalting and arrangement of Ihe pro. cession, weve under the direction of Mr. Prilchard, the active deputy constable of Nantwich, who, being an old soldier, acquitted himself on this occa- sion very creditably.— An elegant and classical triumphal car was constructed by Mr. Welsh, coaebmaker, suitably decorated, surmounted hy a coronet, and flags bearing appropriate inscriptions pendant from its sides. A splendid banner was painted, bearing on one side the Royal arms, and on the other fhe armorial bearings of Ihe Cotton family, both surrounded with a rich scroll of oak leaves aud acorus. The Brethren of the. King's Friends Lodge, No. 553, of the antient fraternity of I'rec and Accepted Masons of England ( of which the noble and gallant Lord has just been appointed Provincial Grand Master for this county) deter- mined to avail themselves of this opportunity of evincing at once a feeling in common with their townsmen, and their allegiance to and fraternal regards for their M. W. Master, by going in the procession clothed in the insignia of the order ( having obtained the necessary dispensation for that1 purpose), to escort his lordship into town. About half- past four o'clock, the procession moved from the Crown Inn to meet his lordship. On the approach of his lordship's carriage the band struck up " Seethe Conquering Hero comes," aud be was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheering, which was continued, almost without intermission, through the town,— au ebullition of feeling which lie acknowledged ( as did his son also) by standing uncovered and repeatedly bow ing tn thc surrounding multitude, and to the assem- blage of ull the beauty and fashion of Nantwich und the neighbourhood that lined Ihe windows, waving their handkerchiefs as the procession passed. When his lordship reached the Crown luu, fhe air was rent with acclamations, und it was with difficulty that lie cotild make his way into the house through the dense crowd that pressed upon him, each individual being eager to have thc honour of shaking him by the hand.— His Lordship ordered three barrels of ale to be distributed among the populace from the Crown and two other houses in town. Abotit 6 o'clock, 108 gentlemen of the fown and neighbourhood sat down to dinner— Richard Edles- ton, Esq. presided,- supported on his right by Lord Combermcre and Sir Harry Muinwaring, and on his left by Earl Kilniorey and Mr. Wilbruhatn, M. P. In the immediate vicinity of the Chair we noticed Major Archer, Lord Combermere's Aide- de- Camp, Mr. Calvely Cotton, Major Cotton, Rev. James Tomkitisou, Major Tomkinson, Mr. Charles Wick- stead, Mr. Massey, Poole Hall, Rev. R. H. Gretton, Mr. Domville Poole, Mr. F. R. Buckley, Mr. Harding, ofWrenbury ; Mr. Sprout ( Chairman) and the following gentlemen of the Committee, Mr. Leversage, Mr. James Bayley, Mr. Sainton, Mr. Eyton, Mr. Powell, Mr. Ciiffe, & c. & c. & c. Mr. George Capper, aud Mr. Broadhurst, the active Secretary of Ihe Committee, occupied the Chairs of the Vice- Presidents. After the cloth was drawn, Non nobis T) oitiine was given in capital style by Messrs. Brown, Edwards, and Linney, of Chester, and the follow- ing toasts and sentiments were proposed, with the usual honours, iu the course of the evening :— The King, God bless him !— Song, " God save the King," by thc Glee singers.— The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family— Song, " God save the King," iu the German style, harmonized for three voices. The CHAIRMAN— Mr. Vice- President and Gentle- men— in rising to propose the next toast— health and long life to our noble and gallaut guest and countryman— I labour under feelings of consider- able embarrassment and emotion. Surrounded as I am by gentlemen of the first rank and consequence in the county, 1 cannot but feel embarrassed at my conscious inability to do justice to thc honourable station in which 1 ant this day placed, through the kindness and partiality of my fellow- townsmen, and for which many of them are much more competent than myself—( appluuse). 1 feel, gentle- men, however well able 1 may be on ordinary occasions to discharge the duties of Chairman, that in this instance I should be wanting in language to do justice to the merits of our noble and gallant countryman, ( applause) or adequately to express Ihe high gratification with which his presence among us to- day is hailed, not ouly by every the town— and the pride we all feel at claiming so distinguished, a hero as a Cheshire man and a neighbour, ( loud applause) and a member of that ancient and honourable house so long and- so closely connected with our town ( renewed cheering). Gentlemen— I shall not attempt to enumerate the military services of the noble and gallant lord, hy which iu the course of a long professional life, he has added largely to the military glory of his country, dud covered himself with never- fading laurels in every quarter of the Globe Cloud cheers). These, gentlemen, are recorded in the page of History, in which Ihe name of COUBEHMERT will live to the latest posterity in connection with the military glory of hi § country ( renewed cheers). But, gentlemen; though I may be spared the enumeration of the noble lord's important services and gallant exploits, when 1 look at the flags and devices with which this room is decorated, and especially at that one more prominent than the rest ( inscribed " Bhurtpore, ) 1 cauuot avoid noticing t'. iat that brilliant exploit has added fresh laurels to the chaplet of military glory which already encircled his brow, and another and a brighter jewel to Ihe coronet he wears ( tremendous cheer- ing). Gentlemen, it was,- I believe, 16 or 17 years ago, that we had the honour of entertaining our noble and gallaut guest; he came amongst us, as now, a victorious general ( cheers). He came amongst us with claims to our notice,- not merely aS a gallant and distinguished Englishman and brother Briton, but us a Cheshire man—- a neighbour and friend, ( cheers) and as the representative of the Worthy and esteemed house of Comberinere ( re- newed checring) ; and we then, as now, strove all iu our power to give him a suitable reception. ( His lordship bowed.) Gentlemen,- his sovereign and a grateful couutiy have not beeu unmindful of the services of our noble and gallant guest, but have conferred upon hint well- earned honours aud dignities, and I trust have more yet in store for him { cheers). Gentlemen, I propose health and long life to the noble lord to enjoy them, and to reflect lustre aud honour on the House of Com- b'ennere, and on his native county ( enthusiastic cheering ). Lord COMBERMERE— Mr. President and Gentle- men — If your worthy Chairman felt embarrassment and emotion iu addressing you, I assure you 1 feel much mofe at my inability to express in adequate terms my sense of ( he high honour you have con- ferred upon me,- and fhe atfectiouate attachment Of the inhabitants of Nantffiich to my family '( ap- plause J.

Gentlemen,' I was acquainted with the grandfathers and fathers of many of you, and 1 hope to be better acquainted with you iu future ( cheers). When I returned to fhis country, at the close of t'he Peninsular war, it was my inten- tion to reside amo'ugtff yoti; circmns'tauces, however, determined it otherwise; aiid that- purpo# e = whicti was always the nearest wish of my heart, 1 now hope to accomplish ( loud cheers). 1 feel highly flattered by the presence of gentlemen froth all parts of the COunty oil this occasion, and more especially al the attendance cf the noble and gallant earl ( Kiltnorey) which I consider equally au honour to myself antl the town ( applause). Gentlemen,- for niy humble services in the field, I hatfe been amply rewarded by my Monarch and my country,' and by the applause and kind feeling of tti'y brother Cheshire men ( loud, cheer's). 1 have always endea- voured to do my duty to my King and Country, and shall be ever ready to do so whenever my services are required ( renewed cheers). His Lordship con- cluded by proposing ' Prosperity to the town and trade of Nantwich,' aiid resumed his seat amid the' most enthusiastic cheering. Mr. Vice- President CAPP#. R proposed the health of Ihe young Heir, " Ai'thnr Wellington Cotton, and prosperity to the House of Cotnbcrmere," which was drunk with enthusiasm.

Mr. CALVELEY COTTON—• © enfleifteii,- in the name of Ihe Mugistrategof the County f return yon thanks for the honour of drinking o'ur healths. The notice and approbation of so respectable a company cannot but be fluttering to us all, aud it is particularly gratifying to me, because 1 have the satisfaction of residing iu the neighbourhood. We claim no merit but that of good intentions, and a wish to do justice and love mercy ( applause). I was born within 8 miles of Nautwich, and have always had the good of the town and neighbourhood at heart, aud 1 cannot but feel gratified by the many marks of personal attachment which I have received from the inhabitants. My nephew has told you that he knew your fathers and grandfathers, but 1 kne^ your grandmothers aud p eat grandmother's-*- { laughter). 1 have danced aud flirted with them in this room— I wont say more—{ roars of laughter) and I shall ever entertain the greatest respect and regard for yon all, their descendants.——- The venerable gentleman resumed his scat umid loud cheers. Lord COMBERMEUE pronounced a warm and well- merited etilogium- on the noble and gallant Ear! Kiltnorev, in all the relations of public aud private life, autl more especially as one of thc best landlords iu England or Ireland, in both of which countries he was highly esteemed aud respected. He wished there were ttratiy such landlords in Ireland, and concluded by proposing the health of Ihe noble earl. Earl KILMOREY briefly acknowledged the com- pliment paid him, and expressed the gratification lie felt in attending on the present occasion. " The Lord L. ieuteuuut of the County" ( by Mr. Vice- President Capper.) Song—" ' Twas in Tra- falgar's Bay" admirably etiug by Mr. Hudson, of Middlewich, and much applauded " The Ladies."— Song, Mr. Harding, on the Cap- ture of Bhurtpore, to the tunc of tbe " British Grenadiers," much applauded.— At this period Mrs. Massey, of Poole Hull, and several ladies who occu- pied the music gallery, retired, and were ^ oudly cheered by the company. The CHAIRMAN with a highly complimentary preface proposed the health of Mr. Wilbrahain, M. P. Mr. WILBRAHAM, aftcf acknowledging thc honour done him, said, it was only the previous day that he heard of the intended dinner, and be cheerfully put off every other engagement iu order lo assist, by the humble tribute of his presence, at this mark of respect and attachment to the gallant nobleman of whom Cheshire had just cause to be proud, and between whose family and the town of Nantwich, there was a hereditary attachment ( applause). He could have wished to see some lusting monument of the fame, and tribute to the military services uf the noble and gallaut Lord erected in thc county, and he trusted it would yet be done { applause). It was uot that the inhabitants of Cheshire were insensible to the merits, or ungrateful for the services of their noble and gallant countryman, that this was not yet done; but important events bad followed each other, like wave after wave, iu such quick suucessiou, as would afford some excuse for their remissness, while nothing could obliterate the recollection of what they owed to their gallant countryman and the credit of their own county—( loud applause). lu England, the centre of the civilized world, and where a freedom of speaking anil writing existed which he hoped would endure to the end of time— it was no wonder that a difference of opinion should exist on political topics. He was not going to introduce politics— it would be exceeding bad taste to do so on the present occasion— what he meant to say was, that however men might differ in opinions in other . matters, they all agreed in tespectand approbation for those of their gallant countrymen who had shed their blood in the service of their country—{ loud cheers). There was one feature. in the claims of the noble and gallaut Lord to the approbation of his countrymen, and every friend of humanity, which was but little known in this county— he meant his notions of military discipline—{ cheers). On this point opinions were divided ; but every humane tnan would admit where a high siate df discipline can be maintained without military flogging, that it ought not to be resorted to { hear, hear, hear). The noble and gallant lord had proved that the highest order of military discipline can be maintained, without having recourse to the disgusting and degrading torture of fhe lash ; and, to his eternal honour, he abolished the practice of flogging in fhe Indian army ( loud and continued checring). This was a laurel which no lapse of time could wither, aud which surpassed iu glory his achievements at Vittoria, Toulouse, or Bhurtpore— for while the latter exalted him in the eyes of his countryman as a soldier, the former endeared him to every friend of humanity as a man { tremendous cheering). Glee—" Peace to the Souls of the Heroes." The CHAIRMAN said he had great pleasure in adopting the suggestion of the venerable Earl on his lefty \' rho had anticipated the toast he was about to propose. YVhen he announced to the company that it was " Sir Harry Mainwaring and the Cheshire Fox- hounds," he was sure the toast needed no preface to ensure it the most cordial reception from all present { much cheer ing). Sir HARRY MAINWARING ill returning thanks " gave tongue" and " broke cover" ill capital style, ran " breast high" with " a good head aud well together, and did not come to a single " check" during " a run" of several minutes ! He expressed Ihe gratification he felt in assisting at this tribute of respect to his relative, their gallant guest aud countryman, and felt proud that this his native town was the first to set an example to the county which he hoped would have the effect of rousing thein from their apathy. The worthy Baronet concluded by proposing " the health of the Committee, and thanks for their exertions." Band—" The Huntsman's Chorus." The Chairman, Mr. Vice- President Capper, and Sir. James Bayley severally returned thanks. ' Mr. Broadhurst the active Secretary to the Committee, and many thanks for Iiis valuable services'— by Mr. Capper. Mr. Vice- President BROADIIURST acknowledged the compliment paid him, iu a very neat and appro- priate speech. ' Mr. Charles Wickstead and his fox- hounds,'— by Mr. Farmer. Mr. WICKSTEAD in acknowledging the toast expressed his happiness at being present on this occasion, and wished the noble and gallant Lord health aud long life to enjoy his well- earned honours. Song, Mr. Hudson—' A Goblet of Burgundy.' ' The Members for the County, Mr. Egerton and Lord Belgrave, and thanks to the former for his present of venison.' Lo'rd Combefmere, Earl Kilmorey, and several of the gentlemen at the upper end of the table, retired about half- past nine o'clock. The company rose and cheered them heartily as they retired, and the Cheshire Hero condescendingly ran the gauntlet through the whole company, each of whom was anxious to have the houoiir of cordially shaking iiim by the hand. His lordship looked in excelleni health, and apparently tto older than when he attended a public dinner in the same room many y& rs ago. The Chairifran, who proved himself " no starter," rallied his friends around him, and formed them into " close column" at the upper end of the room. The social toast, the sparkling glass, and the cheer ful song went round, and the festivities of the evening were prolonged until a late hour.— Chester Chronicle. i$ tt& cfllan£ ou0 Intelligent*. VOTING BY BALLOT.—" As to the mode of voting, although for many years of my life I thought, as many able and excellent men still do, that ballot would be the one most likely to secure a pure elec- tion, yet a longer experience, more numerous observ- ations, and niaturer reflection, have led me, ulti- mately, to a different conclusion ; and I am decidedly in favour of the old open way of viva voce suffrage The principal grounds on which 1 have formed this opinion, I Wilf endeavour to state concisely. In the first place, then, history shows its, that ballot, as a state engine, must inevitably prove destructive in time to the independence of the commonwealth. For instance, the Athenians, decidedly the acutcst and best informed population which ever formed a com munity, successively banished, or put to death, by ballot, the wisest, best, and most patriotic of tbeii citizens and the liberties of Athens were no more lit the next place, voting by ballot opens such temptation to lying, and, Consequently, to a loss of the feeling which makes man respect himself, that think no direct influence, however powerful, or, for a time, successful, could produce that dastardly mean- ness of soul, which the habit of appearing to take one side, and secretly supporting the other, cannot fail to create. Besides, under the system of ballot, the most self- devoted disinterestedness, and the most hypocritical selfishness, would not only be indis- tinguishable from, but in alt likelihood would actually be mistaken for, each other. You may give a people free institutions, but it is their own dauntless spirit which alone can carry into effect and preserve tlieni. Who that has witnessed a contested election for a county, or great city, can have failed to observe the proud spirit of freedom with which many a voter has given his voice to the candidate of his choice, in opposition to powerful solicitation? And can any possible imagined prevention of undue influence be put in competition with the moral effect which such unflinching discharges of public duty inevitably produces on the feelings of society ? 1 think not. 1 also think that the elections of laic years, even in places where much more of that sort of influence which thc advocates of ballot tell us they want to guard against, prevails, than in counties or large towns, have by no means been such as to induce us to exchange our old manly open way of voting, for tbe cowardly shelter of a secret suffrage." — Thoughts on Parliamentary Reform. A few days back, as Messrs. Framstone and Ellis, the auctioneers, were executing an appraise- ment of the moveable effects left by un old inhabitant of Peckham, lately deceased, they discovered, to their surprise, in an antiquated piece of furniture, a bundle of Bank- notes, of various amounts, to the extent of £ 1000. In the pleasing task of counting the notes, the auctioneers noticed, ou the back of one of them, some writing. On being deciphered, it was foutid to be a memo- randum relative to a further deposit, not, however, of Bank- notes, but of'the precious metal. The wary depositor iu bis life- time, probably imagining that it would be unsafe to conceal the gold iu moveable piece of furniture, where its chinking might lead to a premature discovery, placed it in a hole near the oveu or kitchen stove. Tbe memorandum was couched iu terms to the fol lowing effect :—" To the right of the oveti is the gold." Availing themselves of this obliging hint, the auctioneers commenced a search, aud in a short period had their hopes verified by a discovery of the treasure. At Rochdale not fewer than 300 licenses have been granted under tbe new Beer Act. There are ten public- houses in one street of that town. At Bolton one hundred aud thirty houses bave been opened. The names and devices adopted by the new houses are generally more curious than appro- priate, with the exception of one, which is as follows:—" A. B. licensed," & c. and underneath, " Coffins made on the shortest notice." In some instances the cap of liberty and the tri- coloured cockade are displayed. Application is about to be made to parliament for an act for constructing a " Railway or Steam Carriage Road" from the town of Ross iu this county, to Foxes Bridge, in the Forest of Dean, and from thence to Purton Pill, on the Severn. This will open a new line for the conveyance of Coal, of the best quality, from the Forest of Dean to Ross and other parts of this county ; but more important still, it w ill, we believe, be the first step towards a line of Rail Road from Bristol to this city, and possibly ultimately extending to Liver- pool. The Shares for thc Ross and Forest of Dean Rail Road are all subscribed, and the work will be commenced as soon as possible.— Hereford Journal. The Sheffield Couranl says, they are informed that application is to be made in the ensuing session of parliament for a bill to convert the Hnddersfield Canal into a Railway ; and that ( he distance by that line from Goole or Selby to Manchester, would be about seventy miles. The Duke of Wellington, as constable of the Tower, having issued his order for the cleansing and deepening of tbe Moat around it, workmen are now busily employed iu the progress. It is to be deepened four feet, in order to make way for the great extra body of water which it is calculated will flow up the Thames ou the immediate removal of old London- bridge. The moat has not been cleared since the reign of Charles II. CHARLES THE TENTH.— The ex- King of France lives in retirement at Holyrood liouse. He confines himself entirely to the company of the few gentle- men who at present compose his suite. The Only nobleman who has called on his Majesty is his old friend the Earl of WerriysS. The ex- King yesterday took a walk through part of the city. Two or three French gentlemen were with him; he was dressed in a blue coat. He went a| ong Prince's, street, and turned down St. Andrew's- square; but after passing a little below the ltdyal Bank, the King, apparently noticing the crowd to increase, went back by the same road lo Prinee's- street, and from thence, by the North Bridge, High- street, and Canon- gate, returned to the Palace. In the Cauon- gate, and particularly near the foot, the King was much inconvenienced by the crowd ( and these did not seem of the geuteelest cast) pressing very close to him. A few policemen quietly did what they could to keep them off, but they were perfectly orderly; and when he entered the Palace Court- gate, the crowd took off their hats and cheered with great good humour. The eS- King talked with the gentlemen who were with him, and seemed very cheerful, frequently smiling at the eagerness of the crowd to get a peep at hint. He is considerably altered in his appearance since he was last here ( nearly 30 years ago), aud stoops much, but walks firmly. The suite of the ex- King, we understand, is composed", besides the Duke de Bourdeaux, of the Duke de Polignac, brother to the Prince de Polignac; Ihe Baton de Damas; the Marquis de Barbaneois ; Monsieur de Barante, Monsieur de la Village; Dr. Bougon ; and the Abbe de Bourdeville— Edinburgh Courant. It is said, that the 16 fire insurance offices of London have paid within the last seven years, tbe sum of £ 3,380,151 duty upon the insurances they have effected during that period. Tbe shoals of herrings on the coasts and in Ihc channels of this kingdom, have been so abundant this season, that they even found tlieir way into some of the principal rivers. In the Severn, between Arlingham and Purton, these delicious fish were caught of the finest quatityi and in as high season, as they were ever seen on the most prolific fishing stations on any part of the sea- ^ oast. Their freshness and delicacy of flavour, afforded quite a bonne- bouchc to the gourmand. The quantity being limited, they were retailed in Gloucester at 2d. each. YVhat have occasionally been met with in the Severn, in former Seasons, have for the most part been meagre fish, devoid of flavour. RELIGIOUS POETRY.— Heber ( says the Editor of the Quarterly Review, No. 68, just published) early meditated the volume of hymns, which has been already noticed in our Journal; there are some observations, however, which develope a common sentiment so much more forcibly than we remember to have seen it expressed before, and as coming from a man of such undoubted piety, may carry so much weight where remonstrances are most wanted, that we are desirous of giving them the greatest publicity:—" In one respect, at least, he ( the author) hopes the following poems will not be found reprehensible ; no fulsome or indecorous language bas been knowingly adopted; no erotic addresses to Him whom no unclean lips can ap- proach ; no allegory ill understood, and worse applied. It is not enough, in his opinion, to object to such expressions that they are fanatical ; they are positively profane. When our Saviour was ou earth, and in great humility conversant wilh mankind ; when he sat at table and washed the feet and healed the diseases of his creatures, yet did not his disciples give him any more familiar term than Master or Lord. And now, at the right hand of his Father's Majesty, shall we address Him with ditties of embraces aud passion, or in language in which it would be disgraceful in an earthly sovereign to endure? Such expressions, it is said, are taken from the Scripture ; but even if the original application, which is often doubtful, were clearly and unequivocally ascertained, yet, though the collective Christian church may be very properly personified as the spouse of Christ, an application of such language to Christian believers is as dangerous as it is absurd and unauthorised. Nor is it going too far to assert, that the brutalities of a common swearer can hardly bring religion into more contempt or more scandalously profane the name which is above every other name in heaven and earth, than certain epithets applied to Christ in some of our popular collections of re- ligious poetry." When Baron Thompson went the Northern Circuit, a Yorkshire grand juror, at an assize dinner, wishing to get bis lordship's opinion on a legal point then a good deal mooted, called out to him from the bottom of the table, " Pray, my lord, au't 1 justified by law in setting steel- traps and spring- guns on my premises?" The learned baron evaded the question very adroitly, by promptly replying, " I should recommend you, sir, to ' Speak daggers, hut use none!' " The winters at Rome were formerly so mild, that it was the custom of the Cardinal Barberini to undertake the nourishment of a certain number of poor as soon as the Tritons in the public fountains had a beard ( of icicles). But these marble gods have of late years prolonged the charity to so expensive a duration, that the descendants of his eminenee have been compelled to alter the terms of his act of munificence. There is a town in America, Lynn, in Massachusetts, the inhabitants of which are all shoemakers. T here are more than 5,000 workmen who make annually 1,200,000 or 1,400,000 pairs of shoes, valued at 1,000,000 dollars. The women of Lynn earn 60,000 dollars a year by binding shoes. FORE- KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT FORESIGHT.— A peasant had bis fortune told by an astrologer, who afterwards demanded payment. " How ?" said the peasant, with an air of surprise; " you, who know the present, the past, and the future, is it possible that you should not have known that 1 had no money to pay you! Go, go— you are an impostor." THE FALL OF THE LEAF.— It is not enough to account for the leaf, to say it falls because it is weakened or dead ; for the mere death of a leaf is not sufficient to cause its fall, as when branches are struck by lightning, killed by a bleak wind, or die by any similar cause, tbe deail leaves adhere tenaci- ously to Ihe dead branch. To produce the natural fall of the leaf, the branch must continue to live w hile its leaves die, and are thrown off by the action of its sap vessels. The change of temperature from hot to cold seems fo be one of the principal circum- stances connected with the death and fall of the leaf. Hence it is that European trees growing in thc southern hemisphere cast, their leaves at the approach of winter there, which is about the same period of tbe year that they put forth in their own climate. The native trees of the tropics arc all evergreens, and, like our hollies and pities, have no general fall of the leaf, though there is always a partial fall going forward, and, at the same time, a renewal of the loss. At the late Circuit Court held at Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Joseph W. Parkins, formerly Sheriff of London, and known in this country as a principal creditor of Rowland Stephenson, the runaway banker, was convicted of an assault and battery upon a con- stable of Bristol, and fined 20 dollars, and sentenced to be imprisoned 20 days.— Trenton New Jersey Gazette. THE FORCE OF HABIT.— A servant was sent a few days ago to apprise a surgeon, who had been attending his master, that the poor gentleman ex- pired in the course of the morning. The servant, on meeting the surgeon, delivered his melancholy mes- sage in thc following manner :—" Please, sir, master's compliments, and he's dead."— Glasgow Courier. Abraham Newland, whose name was once as well known as that of the greatest monarch in Europe, lies interred in the church of St. Saviour, South- wark, where a handsome monument, less perishable than his notes, records his life and death to future ages. We are not aware that any Medicine ever acquired so great a celebrity for eradicating Scrofulous and Scorbutic Complaints, as Mr. Lignum's Antiscorbutic Drops. The great number of very extraordinary and well authenticated cures which lie annually makes known through the medium of the Press is no doubt one of the reasons of that Preparation attaining its present height in the public estimation. In our first page will be found another recent cure. A petition has been agreed upon, at a County Meeting in Norfolk, for a repeal of the Malt Tax. The commercial accounts from all parts of thc Continent are very unfavourable. Extensive failures are daily occurring in every direction. Letters from Leipsic state that no less than seventeen large failures had taken place in that city, and five more were expected. Among the failures was that of a large wool house. It may be easily imagined what must be the state of trade at I- eipsic. The accounts from Berlin are almost, if not quite, as bad as those from Saxony. Nearly all the commercial houses that have had anything to do with speculatiuils in the Funds, and these are numerous, are said to be in a state of insolvency. In short, the state of commerce all over the Continent is as deplorable as it Well can be. As for the manufacturers, they appear to be, for the most part, in a ruinous condition ; iti one word, con- fidence on the Continent is at the lowest ebb. In England, on the contrary, trade appears to be deci- dedly improving. There can be no doubt that ulti- mately the ruin of the manufactories abroad will lie beneficial to this country; while the disturbed state of things on the Continent will probably cause a great deal of money to be transmitted here for security. THE INFLUENCE OF HABIT ON SLEEP.— Seamen and soldiers, from habit, can sleep when they will, and wake when they will. The Emperor Napoleou vi- as a striking instance of this fact. Captain Barclay, when performing his extraordinary feat of walking 1000 miles in as many successive hours, obtained at last such a mastery over himself, that he fell asleep the instant he lay down. * * * * The faculty of remaining asleep for a great length of time, is possessed by some individuals. Such was the case with Ciuin, the celebrated player, who could slumber for twenty- four hours successively ; with Elizabeth Orvin, who slept three- fourths of her life;— with Elizabeth Perkins, who slept for a week or fortnight at a time;— with Mary Lyell, who did the same for six successive weeks, and with many others, more or less remarkable. A phenomenon of an opposite character is also sometimes observed, for there are individuals who can subsist on a surprisingly small portion of sleep. The celebrated General Elliot was an instance of this kind; he never slept more than four hours out of the twenty- four. In all other respects he was strikingly abstinent, his food consist- ing wholly of bread, water, and vegetables. In a letter communicated to Sir John Sinclair, by John Gordon, Esq. of Swiney, mention is made of a person named John Mackay, of Skerray, who died in Strath- nave, in the year 1797, aged 91 : he only slept, on an average, four hours in the twenty- four, and was a remarkably robust and healthy man. Frederick the Great of Prussia, and the illustrious surgeon, John Hunter, only slept five hours during the same period. The celebrated French General Picbegru informed Sir Gilbert Blane, that during a whole year's cam- paigns, he had not above one hour's sleep in the twenty- four.— Macnish on Sleep.
