BLUNT, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. " Mt. Blunt has already signalized himself by his work 011 the Acts of the Apostles, as an individual in- timately conversant with the most minute Particulars of Holy Writers, and a very successful disciple of Dr. Paley, in the management of that species of Christian evidence, Which arises from the discovery of undesigned coincidence of revealed truth.

AI> MlNl TRATION OF JUSTICK. The LOJ CHANCELLOR introduced to their Lordships his bill for the establishment of Local Courts, to have jurisdiction to a certain amount rn every part of the country. 1 he learned Lord, after a few prefatory remarks, proceeded to detail at great length the vexation, expense, and delay of the prvgefit- system, in obliging suitors to bring- their agents and witnesses, often from great distances, to ihe county town, and to maintain them there during the assises, in addition to the . waiting for redress of • wrongs from one six months to another. In causes of great moment, cotidueled for the interests of rich and eminent parties, the expenses might not be felt,, but it was far different, in small causes- causes of poor persons who had not funds to pay the expense, of retaining witnesses at the assizes, and the costs in-, cuned by long jofrrnejs In all such cases the unfortunate phiintiff was entirely at the nercy of his professional adviser.— He then entered upon an explanation of the extravagant costs incurred in actions, arid to elucidate his position, he cited cases in which to recover £ 400 the amount of taxed cost's reaelVed £- 200— to recover £' 210 the costs were £ 70 — and to recover £ 60 the costs were £' t" 5, just one- fourth of the debt .— HE next proceeded to point out the advantages of the measure he desired to recom- mend to the house, contrasting it with the present system, and shewing the advantages that would be gained in dispatch, cheapness, and convenience. He proposed to found a new court Under the name of a tfourt of Local or Ordinary Jurisdiction, and to begin Ihis experiment by establishing two courts in two counties' by way of trial. The judge to be called a / ridge Ordinary, and to sit after the manner of ancient courts every month, with the exception of one, throughout the year. Before him, in that court, if the parties preferred cheap law to dear law, ftnd speedy justice to delay, they might bring their eartsc, no matter as to its amount, by statements cafled pleadings. He proposed that the Judge Ordinary should be invested with jurisdiction over the following cases :— all actions of debt, trespass, aud trover, where the sum sought, to be recovered did not exceed £ 100 ; all actions of tort, as assault, libel, seduction,' and the like, where ^ he damages to be recovered did not exceed £ 50 ; and all actions for breach of agreement where* the damages did not exceed £ 100— subject, however, to an appeal when ever any title to freehold, leasehold, or copyhold properly came in question in course of the issue. He proposed also to invest the local jurisdiction with a somewhat of equitable function in certain cases of f gjicies for sums not exceeding £ 100; and with a power similar to that exercised in some foreign eourts, called Courts of lieeoncilement." In the first named cases, he would give them the power of compelling the • executors to pay into the Judge's hards the money willed— only of course to be taken out on the proper receipts and vouchers, by which much loss to poor legatees would be avoided ; and in V e latter, he would invest them with the functions founded on the practice of those foreign courts to which he had adverted. In recommendation of this practice he would observe, that if the suitors who daily thronged the courts of Common Law had, instead of consulting a counsel or an attorney, or any other person equally interested in the actual exist- ence of an action, the advantage of a previous conference with a conciliatory judge, certainly two canses out of three would never be brought to trial, and tbe plaintiff or defendant, as it might be, saved the time and expense^ and anxiety of a protracted, but most, uselessly contested suit. Such were the leading features of his bill ; and he would further rcmarlo, that he proposed that the Judges who might preside should be men of real weight and character in their profession. The learned Lord apologised to thc house for having introduced his plan to that branch of the legislature, after having given notice of his intention to do so when he had the honour of a seat in another assembly. But as his coadjutors in the Commons were not gentlemen of the profession, he held it to be impossible for them, not being acquainted with practical experience in the law, to carry his notice and intention into effect. This was the cause of his . « » iiciting the attention of their Lordships to a measure which he could not consider pledged to one branch of tlie legislature more than to the other. If noAvtvci, a <| u » s run snouui arise on tlie point, he' would say that house which combined its highest functions with judicial matters, had most claim to such a measure. In the House of Lords he should have the assistance of noble and learned persons— men w hose lives had been passed in the administra- tion of justice, and the improvement of the civil and criminal laws. It was due to his noble friends in the government, to state, that what he had suggested came from himself as an individual member* and that he had had no opportunity of consulting them. It was a measure proposed by himself in his individual capacity,- and not a measure proceeding from, or receiving sanction from his Majesty's government. To that government he addressed it as he addressed it to their lordships, because he would fain hope to induce them to adopt, it. The learned Lord pro- ceeded to observe,, that, it was now the time, when our foreign relations were unembarrassed, when at home MC had but, a passing cloud to disturb our security, and when the public mind looked up unanimously for a reform in the laws of the country. This was the appointed season to join in undertaking the great work— more peculiarly KO, when it was found necessary by the government to provide extraordinary measures to have the laws obeyed. " Within a few dajs of the time he M- as addressing their Lordships, the sword ol justice would be unsheathed 1o strike, if it be necessary, with a firm and vigorous hand, the rebel against the law. It, was the duty of the government of the country to cause the laws to be enforced and obeyed ; and il, was equally their duty to cause them to be loved and respected. At a time when it. was determined ( hat no threat should make them swerve— no supineness should cause them to slumber in enforcing the laws, as the greatest mercy to the deluded offenders against them— it was their duty, by making the laM's better, to make them more beloved. To accomplish this lay in the power of their Lordships. By amending the laws, and satisfy- ing the people that they had done all that lay in their power, the house would, do more, than could be done by any Oratorical declamations, to preserve unim- paired, and to transmit to the latest posterity a mighty, a noble constitution— mighty, because handed down by their ancestors from a remote antiquity j and noble, because it assured the tran- quillity, Hie rights, and the liberties of their fellow subjects. Lord LYNDHURST joined his Noble nnd Learned Friend in entreating their Lordships to give their utmost attention to this important measure. He did not consider its importance to consist so much in the creation of fifty new judges, with the appendages of their courts, as in the great, the sweeping alteration of the established system which the proposal involved He ( Lord L.) would attentively read the bill, and if he objected to its provisions, be would candidly and freely declare bis sentiments to their Lordships. But if, after consultation with others, he should consider the measure as wise and salutary, he would un doubtedly give it his warm and cordial and most zealous support. Tbe bill was then read a first time, laid on the table, and ordered to be orlnted. HOI SE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. The Duke of NEWCASTLE made a formal, complaint against the Attorney- General ( Sir Thomas Den man) for language imputed to him in his adilffss to the ele/ JJ. ors of Nottingham, wh'ch his Grace considered reflected unjustly ami injuriously upon IYh character. Karl GREY AND the LORD CHANC LLOII replied to the observations of the Noble D. uke.;. they regretted that any circumstance of the kind, should have oc- curred, but they did not see how the bouse could in- terfere— In ijje course of his address to their Lord- ships, the Duke of Newcastle congratulated the house on the accession of the Noble Earl ( Grey) lo the government, as one able to. save the country, but en treated him not to agitate the question of Reform, in the present excited state of the kingdom. Earl GRF. Y in reply to this, part of his Grace's speech observed, that he hoped none of their Lord- ships tc. would for a pmment doubt, that if he had the ?> ower of benefiting the country, it would be at once his duly, his pride, and his delight, to exercise that power. He would not be insensible to the exaggera- tion of the estimate which the Noble Duke had been . leased to make of his powers; but such as those . wers were— and this, he Mas sure their Lordships . >; ih} see, wasali that,- under the circumstances, he Id say— the Noble Duke might be assured that should be strained to the utmost in endeavour* ; to relieve the distresses, ami to suppress the V'lr. bances which agitated the country*. The Noble . , had alluded to the question of Reform in Par- liament. This, ho we vet, was certainly not the time to enter into the general principles of, that question, and still less to descant upon- the particular details of any given plan of reform ; and lie should not, there- fore, on the present occasion, allow himself to be drawn into a discussion upon the proposal of voting by ballot. He might, perhaps, have very strong ob- jections to voting by ballot; but, upon that point, as upon all other details connected with the subject, he should reserve himself until a measure of reform had received the sanction of the Other hoUse of parliament,- where such ar measure ought undoubtedly to originate, and then he would state why he gave his Support to the measure, as well to fhe principle as to the details of it. With regard t> the general principles of re- form, he had— he thought their Lordships would admit— stated already, as far as general principles could be stated, that those would meet with his ap- probation and support. The Noble Duke had ex- pressed his conviction that, to agitate tile question, under existing circumstances, would be productive of mischievous consequences.. Now, if he thought, so— if he could anticipate that such consequences would result from the agitation of the question— he should be the last man in the country to bring it forward, or to join with any man who proposed to bring it for ward; but his opinion was directly the reverse of that which had been expressed by the Noble Duke— nay, his firm conviction Mas, that the only effectual means of quieting the country was to bring the question of reform under the notice of the legislature, and that too without more delay than Mas absolutely necessary. He had imbibed his opinions of Parliamentary Reform at a very early age; he had held them constantly ever since ; the experience of not a very short career had confirmed him in those opinions ; and he repeated now what he had said to their Lordships at the com- mencement of the present session— that it Mas his firm conviction that the settlement of this important ques tion could be no longer delayed. He believed that the time had at length arrived when they must fairly and fearlessly approach the consideration of that question, and endeavour Jo effect the settlement of it On rational principles— which, if they did not— whic h, if they delayed too long— might be settled in such a manner, might be carried on such principles, as would be accompanied with confusion and destruction. I he order of the day having been read for receiving the report of the Regency Bill, Lord LYNDIIURST, to obviate any objection arising out of the possible contingencies of the marriage of the Duchess of Kent or of the Heiress Presumptive, moved the addition of two clauses— the one enacting that in the event of the death of his Majesty before the Princess Victoria attained the age of eighteen, her Royal Highness should not, until she became of age, marry without the consent of parliament ; and the other enacting, in case the Duchess of Kent should marry a foreigner without, the consent, of his Majesty, that then the act should be void and of no effect. The clauses were agreed to without opposition, and the report was re- ceived. appear, by their answers, to defend themselves with firmness and composure; and, with the exception of Polignac, it would seem that they were urged on in a course which their reason disapproved. The accounts received in town this morning from different parts of the country continue favourable, and no repetition of outrage to any extent even in the most excited counties, is mentioned,,., 1 Sussex and Berkshire tranquillity appears; to be entirely restored. - - 1FOSTOCRIJPT.

The French papers - dated yesterday, received by express at an early hour this morning, contain two important declarations, by M. Lafitte, Minister of Finance, and Marshal Son It, Minister of War, in the Chamber of Peers on Wednesday The evident purpose of both speeches is to qualify the existing war like alarm, by assurances of fhe peaceable language of the other great powers of Europe, and at the same time to shew' the necessity of precautionary measures on 1heir own part, should the alternative of war unfortunately arrive. In the course of his address M. Lafiite observed— u Fears of war, conceived at the sight of considerable armaments, have been spread within these few tlavs, and have acquired sufficient credit, to influence the commercial state of the country, without shaking its courage. The interests of nations require tranquillity, for if their greatness may result from war, their pro- sperity depends solely upon peace. We still indulge the hope that this precious peace will be preserved. The several cabinets continue to give us the most pacific assurances. The cords of friendship have been drawn still more close with a country which has preceded us in a career of liberty, which has ap- plauded our efforts, shared the joy of our victory, admired our moderation, and which has with us a community of interests and of civilization. We could not every where expect the same lively sympathy ; however, our national royalty, what never happened before, has been recognised as soon as it was founded. We must not, however, be surprised that the great commotion which has taken place among us has inspired fears in other countries, and caused pre- cautions to be taken. The events accomplished in a neighbouring state may have caused a general crisis to be apprehended— and this apprehension explains to you the armaments which have been made, with views of security and not of attack. We attest to you, that we have received v\ ith respect to these armaments the most satisfactory and the most positive explanations. These explanations will not however hinder us from putting ourselves in a suitable atti- tude. War, gentlemen, is a melancholy and gloomy prospect; the chance of it would be terrible ; we do not fear the result of it for ourselves ; it even appears to us that with the ardour that animates all the French, the cause of liberty would again owe its salvation to them. But this manner of making the cause of liberty triumph would cost treasures and torrents of blood; it is better to make it triumph through peace France will not permit the principle of non- intervention to be violated. But it will ah exert itself to hinder a peace to be endangered which might have hem preserved. If war becomes inevit- able, it must be proved in the face of the world that, we have not desired it, and that we ha^ e made it only because we were placed between the alien a'ive of war and the abandonment of our principles. We shall only be the stronger, when to the power of our arms we shall, add, the conviction of our right. We shall then continue to negociate, and every thing makes us hope that these negociations will be sue- ccssful. But. while negociating we shall aim. In a very short time, gentlemen,-- we shall have, besides our fortresses provisioned and defended, five hundred thousand men well armed, well organized, and well commanded. A million of National Guards will support them, and the King, if it should be neces a y, will place himself at the head of the nation. As Minister of Finance, I must also inform you that the means of defraying the expenses of war will not be wanting. The budget which we are preparing will lay before you the important reductions in the ordinary expences. For extraordinary expences we shall have eighty millions, by which the land- tax has been reduced, and a revenue of eighty millions re- presents the capital of a loan of fourteen or fifteen hundred millions. We shall therefore have immense pecuniary resources to support the myriads of men which our heroic population offers But I repeat it with full conviction, peace is infinitely more probable than war. When France and England will have it, when the other powers wish it, we do net know how it can be disturbed. We shall therefore continue to negociate, but we shall negociate supported by five hundred thousand men and a million of National Guards. Marshal Soult concluded the details of a neM- law relative to the recruiting of thc army as follows:— " In asking the Chamber for a levy of 80,000 men, the King's government has no other motive than the necesssity of placing the French army in harmony with the wants of the moment. On all sides the foreign powers have not ceased to give the King the most formal assurances of their intention to maintain peace ; yet serious events are passing under our eyes; more or less considerable armaments are making at this moment in a great part of Europe. If the King's Ministers had longer delayed to propose to you mea- sures calculated to maintain France in the elevated rink which she holds, they would have neglected the important mission which is confided to them. ( Marks of assent). The unanimous cry of France is " peace she has given sufficient proofs of her resolution not to interfere in the internal affairs of any people for her good faith to be suspected. She has long since ab- jured the genius of conquest, to think onl y of securing her liberty at home and her independence abroad but if either the one or the other should ever be threatened, our army and a million of national guards M ill know how to consolidate them It is the attitude, at- once calm and imposing, in France, which, while it makes us respected, must he the strongest, pledge of peace. Such is also the idea which has dictated the project of law which w. e have the honour to present to you. Deputies of France, you will be fully im- pressed with its necessity, and will not hesitate to adopt it." These papers also give at great length the interro- gatories of the Ex- ministers,- and the depositions of . the principal witnesses against them. The accused We have received the Paris papers of Saturday, including the Gazette dc France and other evening papers dated j'esterday. They bring the conclusion of the interrogatories preparatory to the trial of the late Ministers. One of the depositions, that of M. de Konierouski, an aide de- camp of Marmont, is very remarkable, as tending to confirm the fact that the King is the person chiefly an- werable. Marmont had wished that the firing should be suspended, ami sent Konieiouski to the King, with a despatch to that effect. " The Marshal," says the witness, " Had ordered me to inform the King, in my own words, of what I had M'itnessed in Paris. Having been introduced in o the King's apartment, I handed to him the marshal's despatch, and gave him a verbal acc unt of the exact state of things in the capital, telling him at. the same time, some prompt determina- tion was absolutely necessary. 1 explained to him that it was not alone the populace of' Paris, but the whole mass of the inhabitants which had risen, and that I was able to form an opinion on that point as I was going through Passy, where gun shots had been directed against me, not by the populace, but by persons of a higher situation in life. The King re- plied, that he should read the despatch, and 1 then retired to await li s orders. None having been sent in the due course of time, I requested the Duke of Drrras to go into the King, and ask if there Mere any ; but the Duke observed that i according to etiquette it was impossible for him io enter the Kin( fs apart- ment at the exniratim of twenty minutes.'' I was, however, at la t cal ed into the King's closet. He gave me no written despatch, but merely ordered me to tell the marshal lto hold firm, to collect his forces upon the Place du Carrousel and the Place Louis XV. and to act with MASSES of troops? He even repeated the word masses. The Duchess of Berri and the Dauphin were present, but they said nothing." In the French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday it was proposed and carried, by a majority of 211 to 71, that the Jewish priests should be salariedrby the State after the 1st of Jan. 1831!! This measure, which it appears has highly gratified the Jews, is attributed to a desire on the part of Lafitte to pro- pitiate the Hebrew interest in the money market!!

MICHAEL'S CHURCH.— The steeple of this neat and useful fabric was last week furnished'With an excellent peal of six bells, cast b^ y Mr. Meares, of London; and on Monday the same" were opened by the members of the Union Society of this town, in a succession of peals of grandsires, treble bob, and plain bob— Two of the windows at the east end of the church have been filled with stained glass: the sub- jects are— The Annunciation, Luke i. 28, from a painting by Guido, in the possession of Mrs. Hawkins BroM'ne, of Badger Hall; and Simeon's Benediction in the Temple, Luke ii. 29, from a valuable painting by Rubens, in the possession of William Bayley, Esq. of this town. Both these elegant windows were exe- cuted by Mr. Evans, whose skill in the art we have so frequently had occasion to notice; and it is but justice to him to say, that the execution of these two specimens in :- one points excels his previous splendid performances, and adds much to the internal appear- ance of the sacred structure. The subject for the centre window is The Nativity, from a painting by Correggio, in the possession of Thomas Parr, Esq. of Lythwood Hall. This window is in a state of for- wardness, and Mill be put up in a short time.— These windows and the peal of bells are put up at the expense of the Rev. W. G. Rowland, the esteemed Minister and Official of St. Mary's, in which parish St. Michael's church is situated.— It is but proper we should mention that Messrs. Mottram and Son, of this town, have given a new set of bell- ropes for the use of St. Michael's church. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland leave this country for England on Tuesday.

Gentleman has again offered himself to the choice of the Citizens. WHITCHURCH BANK.— A circumstance highl^ honourable to the parties, and illustrative of the need- less panic in 1825, appears in an announcement that Messrs. Corser, Nay lor, and Has all, of fhe Whit- church Bank, are. prepared to pay a fourth and final dividend of one shilling, making twenty shillings in the pound with interest, on all claims upon them. Sir Thomas S. M. Stanleys Bart, has purchased Pedestrian, by Tramp, three years old, for 600 guineas. — Mr. Edmund Jones, of Prestbury, Cheltenham, has purchased from Sir T. S. M.

On Monday last, an inquest was held at Bridg- north, before James Milner, Gentleman, Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, on view of the body of Mary Fair, aged 65 years, who, it appeared in evidence, had been engaged in brewing for a neigh- bour, and by some accident fell into a cooler of hot water, and was so much scalded as to cause her death. — Verdict, Accidental Death. A valuable waggon mare wliich was lately stolen from Ditton Priors, in this county, belonging to Mr., John Bradley, of that place, has been recovered through the exertion of a person in Bridgnorth.— The thief was a neighbour to Mr. Bradley, and had sold- the mare to Mr. Foster, landlord of the Crown Inn, Fenny Stratford, in Buckinghamshire.— The offender is safely lodged in Aylesbury Gaol. \ YOUNG LA DY, accustomed to Ttji / a tion, wishes to engage herself as a GOVERNESS n a Family, or as an ASSISTANT in a School of Respectability.

S.— We have already ex- pressed our opinion of the beautiful Annuals just, published hy Mr, Ackermann. For the benefit of such of our readers as bave not yet provided them- selves with tokens of affection or regard against the approaching season, we beg leave to direct attention to Iiis advertisement in another part of our paper, from which il appears that copies of our old favourite, the FORGET M E NOT, also of iiis JUVKNII. E FORGET ME NOT, and THE HUMOURIST, a new candidate for the patronage of the lovers of fun and frolic, can still be procured. Last week, the return of the Hon. Capt. Bridgeman to his seat at Knockin, after an absence of three years on the Mediterranean station, was welcomed by the inhabitants of that parish and its vicinity with every possible mark of respect. Oil Tuesday, the 30th nit a great number of gentlemen, farmers, & c. assembled at the above place, and a fat ox being provided was placed on a stage, and having been decorated with ribbons, laurel, & c. it was drawn to Knockin Hall by a beautiful team of horses, preceded by a flag, band of music, and tbe company walking in procession, where, having rent the air with huzzas, the company were regaled with wine and plenty of strong beer. The ox ( weighing 800 lbs.) was after- wards cut up, and distributed io the poor. An ex cellent dinner being in readiness at the Bradford Arms Inn, the company were honoured with the gallant Captain's presence. On his health being drunk, which received a hearty " three times three,*" he rose, and in an appropriate speech expressed him- self highly gratified with the respect they had shewn him ; assuring them it would always be his study to cultivate the friendship and good- will of all. On the evening of the same day, and at the same place, very interesting and splendid ball was held, attended by all the beauty and fashion of the surrounding neighbourhood. Similar rejoicings took place at I. r. ANvnr. onwEM. where ten sheep were cut up and divided among the poor, while the stream of cxcrw da tlowed like torrent. Great rejoicings also tool; place at NF. SSCLIFF on this happy occasion. An excellent fat cow and plenty of good ale were given to the poor, bavin been purchased by a subscription of the ienantry and other well- wishers of the family ; after which racing and other amusements commenced, with firing of cannon, & c. The principal tenantry and friends sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mrs, Owen, at the New Inn, where bumper toasts went round to the health of the Hon. Capt. Bridgeman and the other branches of Ihe family. The evening was spent in the utmost conviviality and good humour, and the company did not separate until late hour. LLANYMYNECII, though last mentioned, was not the least in its manifestations of kind feeling and high respect, entertained towards the Noble Family of which the Hon. Captain is an ornament. Indeed, as a whole, nothing could exceed the uni- versal diffusion of pleasure ; every heart was in the right place j all pariook of the same spirit; and the prevalent feeling was " one general joy." Consider- able praise is due to the conductors of these festivi- ties, especially at Knockin, where on Monday a large assemblage of ladies did themselvps the pleasure of taking together a cup of their favourite- beverage, namely, tea, in honour of this event, and in com- pliment to the Hon. Mrs. Bridgeman. The following stanzas were written ou the occasion of these rejoicings :— SHROPSHIRE. Thy towns aid thy hamlets smile lovely and fair, For the Genius of Love makes her residence there; And as fair to the eye, as the beauties of these, A re thy mountains and vallies, thy rivers and trees. But something inherent, more beautiful still, That runs through thy frame and directeth thy will, O Salop! is thine : and it shews itself now— ' Tis the moral attachment that binds up thy brow. While the spirit is up of unparallel'dire, And the shore, of the south teems with rapine and fire; While the voice of the peasantry rises in blood, Awaking the outcry of terror and flood: While the clime of the north has laid hold of the cry, And partially flashes the demon- like eye: Unbroken and pure is thy mind- linking chain, Aud the master and servant unsever'd remain. Be grateful, each heart, while a tribute ye bring To the place of your home, and our ocean bred King: Shout, shout it abroad, let it ring in the earth, That you've spirits the same in the spot of your birth. Success to the Fleet arid its " blue jacket" Tars, Who ever are ready when summoned by Mars ! Long Life to brave Bridgeman and Masters beside, And the pleasures of Health to his beautiful Bride! S" S" LIVERPOOL EI. ECTION.— This contest terminated on Tuesday, in favour of Mr. Evvart, who polled a majority of 29 It continued for seven days, and was one of the most disgraceful and flagrant elections ever known. The great majority of the voters were publicly bribed, many of them, towards the con- clusion, receiving as much as £ 100 each. The total number of votes polled was 4401, being 900 more than on any previous occasion. The expenses are supposed to exceed one hundred thousand pounds! WAJLTOo A Meeting of the Freeholders of the County Montgomery, convened by the Sheriff, will be held on Monday next, to take into consideration " the great defects of the Parliamentary Representation, the necessity of its Reform, and of a rigid Economy in the Public Expenditure."— Ve Advert.

Gent, has again offered himself to the choice of the Freeholders.— See Advert. D Pugh, Esq of Llanerchydol, has been elected Recorder of the Borough of Welsh Pool, in the room of the Earl of Powis, who has resigned. COMING OF AGF. OF SIR JOHN HANMER, BART.— We understand that the coming of age of Sir John Hanmer, Bart, of Bettisfield Park, in the county of Flint, which takes place On the 22d instant, will be celebrated at Hanmer, with great rejoicings. Four fine bullocks have been already purchased for distri- bution amongst the poor in the parish, and the super- intending committee have, we understand, spared neither pains nor expense to commemorate that event with a honour becoming the occasion. Mr. Richard Llwyd, of Chester, in the spirit of true philanthropy, has given thirty- five guineas to the three Dispensaries now existing in North Wales; and has publicly expressed how much he should feel gratified in placing ten guineas on. the foundation- stone of a fourth Dispensary in that district of North Wales which at present does not possess so desirable an Insti- tution. The inhabitants of Welsh Pool were much grati- fied at the stag hunt there a short time ago.— The noble animal was turned out about half a mile from the town, on the Guilsfield road; he went off in fine style towards Pwll- y- glo, turned to Llanerchydol, and ran through the park immediately in front of the mansion of D. Pugh, Esq. where lie turned off to- wards, and ran through the middle of, the town of Pool, closely pursued by the dogs and about fifty horsemen, which certainly had a most animating effect— The sport being ended, the sportsmen ad- journed to the Oak Inn, and the excellence of Mrs. Whitehall's dinners is so well knoM'n that we need not say any thing in praise of the one which she served up on this occasion, when about ninety gentlemen sat down. The pleasures of the evening were greatly enhanced by the excellent songs, duets, glees, & c. of the amateurs. Thomas Davies Jervis, of Llanidloes, Gentleman an Attorney of his Majesty's late Courts of Great Session, hath been enrolled, by virtue of the Judicature Act, to practise as an Attorney in his Majesty's Courts at Westminster; and has a'so been appointed, by virtue of the 18th section of the same act, Commis- sioner fo take affidavits in the several Courts King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer Last week, a three- year old Leicester wether, bred by Mr. Vaughan, of Burway, Mras slaughtered by Mr. Waring, of Welsh Pool, M'liich measured four and a half inches of fat doM- n the back, and six on the ribs the weight per quarter was 54lbs.

LOXDALE, Clerk of the Peace for the County of Salop. Shrewsbury Water- Works, , December 7, 1830. FPHF, DIRECTORS of the Shrewsbury ™ Water- Works, finding that some persons have- expressed dissatisfaction at the proposed Increase of Water Rates, beg to submit the following Remarks to their consideration and that of the Public. By their Act of Parliament the Proprietors are only allowed to receive £ 3 per annum on each Share of Fifty Pounds. In undertakings of this sort the usual limitation is to a profit of 10 per Cent. The Proprie- tors having voluntarily suggested, during the progress of the Act, this abandonment of 4 per Cent, of the usual profits entirely from a wish to benefit the inhabit- ants' ot the town as much as possible, are, in the es ima- tion of the Directors, fully and fairly entitled to the sum granted them by the Act of Parliament. The Directors have hitherto, and till Christmas next- will continue, to supply the town according to tbe Old Rates, thus giving the Benefit of the New Works for a whole year gratis. ' The proposed Rates are lower than those paid in similar cases in the neighbouring towns of Birmingham, Worcester, or Chesler. After all, on a fair calculation, it is judged that the Works will not pay the Proprietors more than 5 per Cent, for some years to come. ^ The Directors wish to call the public attention to a comparison between the old Works and the new. The old Wheel, UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIR- CUMSTANCES, which were not of very frequent occur- rence, threw up 3,' 200 gallons per hour, or 76,800 gallons per day. The new Work, UNDER AI. I. or. MNAIVR CIRCUM- STANCES, throwsup 12,000 gallons per hour, and, work- ing only nine hours a- day, at its present rate throws upj lW. OOO ga lions a- day; but it is capable of throwing up 15,960 gallons per hour, whicli is, within 40 gallons, five times the amount of water thrown up in the same time by thc old Wheel,— and it actually does now throw up much more than three, and not much short of four times as much. And the Directors have taken great lains, with the assistance of their Engineer, to provide- ' or an ample supply of water for the town in case, of fire, as well by the aid of the Reservoir as hy the force- of the Engine. There were under the old Rates 7* 14 Renters, paying a rent of £ 817. 15s. fid. or, on the average, as near as possible, omitting fractions of farthings, £ 1. 2s. Od. for each Renter. By the new rental there are at present 750 Renters, paying an average rent of £ 1,512.17s. 6< 1. or £ 2. 0s. 4d. for each Renter. If any person will take the trouble to examine- tliese data, ho will find that, owing to a small increase in the number of Renters, the average rise in the rental is not 90, nor 85 as the Directors proposed, but not quite 80J per Cent.; and of course, as the Directors look only to raising a sum which may secure to the Proprietors Three Pounds per Share, if the number of Renters and the Rent increases, the charge for Rent will from time to time be diminished. By the old Works the average quantity of Water received by each Renter every other day, UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, was 103 gallons omitting fractions, or say at most 52 gallons per day ( Sundays excluded), at a price within a very small trifle of THREE Farthings a- day. But then this was subject to the interruptions arising from floods, low water, frosts, and repairs, for nearly half the year ork the average, so that the expense ACTUALLY amounte. l to ve'ry near ljd. per day, besides the expense and trouble of buying and carrying water during all these stoppages. By the new Works the average quantity of water received by each Renter every other day ( exclusive o£ Sundays) amounts to above 14- 4 gallons, or above. 72 gallons daily, at the expense of more than ljd. but less than l| d. per day; so that the actual cost is not raised IN FACT to the Renters, and they are saved all the expense and trouble of buying ana carrying water during the stoppages, which were formerly so trequent- When this is taken into the account, the balance is very much in favour of the new Works. The Directors farther beg leave to observer. that nothing is so conducive to the health of towns and the comfort of the inhabitants as a plentiful supply of PFRK water. They are aware that a scanty, IMPURE, and uncertain supply was formerly obtained, APPARENTLY at a cheaper, but IN FACT at a dearer rate. But they feel confident that their charges for the present ample and regular supply are so reasonable, that if they were not brought into comparison with an uncertain anct fallacious estimate, they would be thought extremely moderate. They request the public to take this statment into- their dispassionate consideration, for they are themselves satisfied, afler a painful and well- considered" ejiamina- tion, that when all circumstances are taken into the account, the inhabitants of Shrewsbury will find them- selves supplied with purer water, cheaper, betteT, more plentifully, and more conveniently, than at any former period. They cannot conclude without declaring their readi- ness to take into consideration the complaint which any individual may at any time bring before them ; nor can they avoid expressing their wish that any Renters who are at present dissatisfied will be pleased to try the experiment of supplying themselves by any means which they may think more advantageous. Should these be found not to answer, they will be happy ta supply thein on the terms already proposed. Chairman of the Directors. Beasts 3,135 Calves 120 Sheep Pigs 21,680 I'M BRISTOL.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 4. Easterly winds have kept out all arrivals of Grain during the week, and, our market being extremely bare of new grain, dealeis generally have held off, waiting for fresh supplies. The business in the trade has, con- sequently, been only to a limited extent; but prices of Wheat have been very fully maintained, the finest parcels of Irish new bringing 9s. 9d. per 701b. Oa s were also extremely scarce, and have realized a further improvement of Id. per bushel, the finest qualities obtaining 3s. 8d. per 451b. There has been considera- ble inquiry for Foreign Wheat and Flour in bond; holders, however, having been very unwilling to offer, few purchases have been made, and both articles are now held at considerably advanced prices. In the other articles of the trade there has been a moderate business, at full priccs. Wheat( 701b.) 10s. Od. to lis. od Barley ' per bushel) 5s. 6d. to fis. 0.1 Oafs 451b.) 3s.

Doe dem. Durtmt, Esq v. Moore. Mr. Sergeant Rus- cll shewed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant Wilde on a former day in the term, calling upon the Lessor of the plaintiff to shew, cause why an order of Mr. Justice Gazelee this cause, and a writ of possession issued in pursuance thereof, should not he set aside, and why the farm and premises late in the defendant's possession should not be restored to him. T he circumstances out of which the motion arose are briefly as follow :— The Lessor of the plaintiff commenced an action of ejectment against the defendant to recover possession of a farm situate at Tong, in ( he county of Salop, which the defendant overheid after notice to quit. The defendant held under a written agreement, and tbe lessor of the plaintiff adapted his proceedings ( o an Acl passed in ( lie Ist Geo. 4lh, c. S7, commonly called the " landlord's act," and the defendant, under the provisions of such act, entered iuto an under- taking in case a verdict should pass against him, ( o give the lessor of the plaintiff judgment of Ihe term preceding the trial. The cause was tried at last Shrewsbury assizes, and a verdict found for the lessor of the plaintiff. The defendant, fo prevent ( lie less r of ( he plaintiff from taking possession of Ihe farm, sued out a wri( of error on the'day of the trial, and entered into his own recognizance on such writ Tbe lessor of ( he plaintiff applied to Mr. Justice Gazelee for, and obtained, an order against the defendant, requiring him ( o find sureties under the above act, in addition to his own recognizance, or in default thereof that ( he lessor of the plaintiff should be at liberty to issue a writ of possession. The defendant having failed to provide the required sureties, the lessor of ( lie plaintiff issued a ivrit'of habere facias possessionem, and took possession of Ihe farm. The Court, after hea riot* Mr. Sergeant TJusscll a<> a: n$ t the rule, and Mp. Sergeant. \ Vil< le in support, • dismissed the same on the ground that, the defendant had not complied with the Act. of Ist Geo. 4tl » , by not finding sureties in compliance therewith.

T1VO TIG RS AND A lioN TITK Tow J- R. —' Between eleven and twelve o'clock on ' Friday morning:, as t! » e man whose duty it is to clean the Cages of the wild beasts at the'l ower was in the. execution of that ofiice, he inadvertently, raised a door in the , upp- r tier of cells, w. hich. separated the den of a huge lion from one in whicU there were a l^ engal royal tiger and tigress. At Sight of each other the eyes of the animals sparkled, with ppge. The, lion instantly erected his mane* and, wiih a tremendous roar, sprang at the tigeiv^ The tiger was equally eager for the combat, and, in a paroxysm of fury, flew at his assaifrint, whilst. t! if tigress fiercely seconded her mate.—: The roaring and yelling of the combatants resounded through the yards, anil excited in all the various animals the mo<£ lively demonstrations of fear or rage. The timid tribes shivered w ith dread, and ran round their cage? shrieking with terror, whilst the other lions ftnd jtigersy with the bears, leopards, panthers, wolves,, and hyenas, flew round their dens, shaking the bars with their ijlmo^ strength, and uttering the most terriiic cries.

The question of a repeal of the Union is making a progress amongst the lower orders, worked upon as they arc by the wily intrigues of designing Dema- gogues, that mu- t, unless checked eventuate in revo lution. The Leaders point to Belgium; and the Priests aye, and Ihe Bishops too, inculcate a system of warfare between Ibe poor and ( he rich. An organization, and that to a considerable extent, has taken place amongst ( he Members of ( he Trades in the different towns throughout the country. This organization first established the Popish Association, and continued it, with mischievous perseverance, for the purpose of collecting the " Rent."— This organized body, so often boasted of by the Evening Post, and so frequently stimulated to fresh exertions by the articles in that Journal, is thus described by it in ils present objects: " What has been the conduct, however, of our ' pub'ic men,' who rejoice so comically iu their ' political lives?' The reverse. of this. They have disciplined and brigaded the working orders of society, into so many regiments, designated by tbe names of their respective callings. We have the Carpenters, ( he Bricklayers, ( he Masons, ( he Blacksmiths, tbe Tailors, ( he Butchers, the Sawyers, the Shoemakers, Ihe Broguemakers, ( he Coopers, the Apprentices of ( he Silk weavers, the Slaters— and, to use the con- ceited vulgari in in ( be newspapers, the Coal porlers, the Jinglemeri, ( he Servants out of place, and the Chimney- sweepers, are being regimented with a view of discussing ( Great God I) the propriety of repealing the Union. " What a picture, however, does this state of society present ? This is ( he stale, not only of Dublin, but of many of the towns in Ireland The trades have con gregated every where— every where they are regi mciited into battalions— and every battalion has be- come a political club. The affiliation of Ihe trades throughout ( he kingdom is well known : there is also, we understand, a directing body — an executive direc- tory. From arlizans and handicraftmcn the oper- atives have all become active politicians. Their object is avowed and distinct, ll has been said and sung for litem a thousand times. They are brigaded under the banners of the Great Agitator— the Charleniont of the new Volunteers, to repeal the Union. But it is not among tiie hand'icraftmen alone that Ibeir machinations have been successful. The peasantry are arrayed in tire same manner. Similar stimulants are applied to their passions. They have set up tbe cry, or rather, they have reverlierated tbe uproar of the city for Ihe repeal, of the Union. These persons argue as little as their prototypes in Ihe metropolis, but they rival. I lion in their appeals. The brave Belgians, ( he heroic French, are exalted as beacons to guide Ihem, as examples to follow. Treason is their norma loquer. dii it is the common parlance to which the cars of the peasantry are accustomed. Nor are Ihey without organization. The parishes in Ihe country are converted into clubs, like trades in ( he towns.

It. will be seen, by a paragraph in another column, that Mr. Demnan; the Attorney- General of the New Ministry, has been re- elected for Nottingham. Under present circumstances, it is important ( o know the views of shell rneu on subjects of national interest; and wc find that, on the question of the Corn Laws, lie expressed himself as follows :- » » " 1 hope that, although the Corn Laws must be abolished by degrees, the lime will soon arrive when that, ns well as every other trade, will lie as free as Nature and Providence can make them." Now this is an explicit avowal of tlie Allomey- GeneraPs views : and we'eannot, therefore, do belter than show ' what tbe realization of such views must produce. A writer in Eraser's Mugutinc very truly says— " The manufacturers have for a hing period loudly demanded a free trade in corn. The advocates of this swelling interest ( wc use the elegant epithet of the Times newspaper, when speaking of Bishop Blonifield), bate laboured diligently lo convince the public, that such a trade would not. operate more advantageously in favour of ( lie consumer of bread generally than the corn, grower himself. They have denounced the corn bill as a monstrous monopoly in favour of the landowner, and a grinding ( a \ upon the' poor". That most obtuse, and now, ns it would appear, ver- alile' genllenitfn, Mr. M'CuITo.- h, bits- laboured bard tit prove ( Mr. M'CilHoch never proved any thing but his own miserable incapacity) that these corii laws impose a tax upon England of nut less than ten millions of pounds sterling per annum To reply to such an'astounrling absurdity, or notice' such ex- travagant nonsense would be a waste of time, and air indirect and unmerited compliment upon the London' University. We have a much shorter way of settling the question " Our opponents will concede to us, that n hen two parlies Complain of each other's monopoly, the best mode of neutralizing their contentions, and tran- quillizing their jealousies, is to reduce them to a. parity of privileges. It is but just to observe, how- ever, thai the. agricultural interest have never, in any case, complained of the monopoly or the unequal protection enjoyed hy the manufacturers They have asked protection for themselves, but have never in- dicated any desire fo divest the manufacturer of the protection he receives. But as the manufacturer imperiously, and, on the score of policy and justice t o, demands the abrogation of the trifling, and, in every rcspecl, delusive protection which the agri- culturists have wrung from a reluctant parliament, we are bound lo consider them as contending parties, and moreover bound, although but fur I ire sake of fhe experiment, to remove Ihe cause of mutual irritation, and place them in the fair and open field of equality, alike unarmed and unprivileged. " Away then at once with the corn bill. Lot it he repealed by all means; let us have an unrestricted trade in this staple necessary of life; let ns become at once ( lie art'zans, Ihe spinners, the weavers, anil the tinkers of ( lie world. Let us convert England nilo a vast workshop, having our ports open at all times, and under all circumstances, to all nations Let ns be dependent for Our bread upon Poland, for our tallow upon Russia, for our timber upon Prussia and Norway, for our cotton upon America, for our fine wool upon Saxony, and for our hopes of national independence upon his Majesty's ministers, and the fender mercies of our affectionate allies. In order to conciliate the manufacturing interest, let I lie fund- holder, the pensioner, and the fixed annuitant eat untaxed c . rn — let Pomcrania be our garden aud our granary, under the blessing of heaven and at Ihe hazard of famine. " lint « hat then? If the earn grower is lo Ire exposed lo the competition of ( be foreigner, the manufacturer- must be equally exposed. There must be no protection for the linen, or cotton, or silk weaver. The manufacturers of plate glass, of leather, of stockings, of clocks and wall- lies, of gold and silver plate, of lead, tin, copper, and iron, of barrels and straw hats, of laee and embroidery, of boots and shoes, of flannels anil cashmere shawls, of gloves and nightcaps, and of ^ thousand other things, must prepare themselves In encounter the competition of the untaxed artists and mechanics of foreign conn- tries. If we have a free ( rade in corn, there must be a free trade in every thing el « e, from the nvikerof toys to the builder of ships — f irm the manufacturer of fringes to the weaver of sail cloth and damask curtains. " Oil these terms we have no doubt the agri- culturists would have the least reason for murmuring. The ruin that would ensue; Ihe embarrassment and |- anner: sm that would be produced; the thousands of mechanical labourers that would l>- let loose lo beg, or pillage, or starve; the establishments that would be render d useless, and the fortunes that would he sacrificed, wou'd soon restore the members ot' our modern institutes to their senses. The anarchy and con< ulsioti that would follow this sweeping anil terrible experiment, would speedily dissqMtc the d- earns of ibe liberals, and induce even tiie o ddest of them lo sigh for that co- rfi l- ive and security, which in an evil hour Ihey sacrificed at. the shrine of I'als.- principle* and mercantile ambition. They would d seover, when it was too lute, that in straining at ton much, thev had lost every thing that the> esteemed most valuable— the profits of eani'iil, the rewards of i genuilv, and the means i. f subset- nee. They would iiiul the land owner strom- in his retreat, and though poor as his dcs.- iied soil, yel endurable and powerful as ( he oaks planted by his- ancestors; while they, cheei less amongst their use 1- ss machinery, their burnt- out furnaces, their rusted jennies, and the ashes of Ihe stately factory and steam loom, would be mere mendicjinis, ( lea dsed by tiie caste whence they eju- mig, and over which they - tvrapniacd in their day uf smoke and-- glorj." . yggSHK K- BTIMTAUEAAXXIISK^ M** .

Jam proximut ardet Ucalegoir. MR. EDITOR, Permit nic, throng!) the medium of your Paper, to submit respectfully to the owners and occupiers of laud in this county a few observations, which have suggested themselves to nie with reference to ( lie present stale of the labouring classes. It is a truth, which no one attempts lo deny, that, iu various parts of England, a spirit of discontent, insubordina- tion, and mischief, has infected the peasantry. It is also an undoubted fact, that this spirit is now ex- lending itself front those districts where it at first was manifested, to titbi ts which before were not suspected of having any common feeling wilh them. It is evidently excited by some ferocious characters, whose aim is to produce a collision of the various classes against each other, in the hope that they may themselves he able to take advantage of tliq general strife. 1 have no fear but lhat government will find means to frustrate the designs of these persons, and to bring the promoters and abettors of those infamous transactions, which attach so much disgrace to our country, to condign punishment. Put, lo my mind, il does not appear in this instance sufficient to dis- cover, to punish, and to repress; the repose thereby obtained is not of the sort that ought to satisfy us. We ought to strike at the root of the evil, and to prevent its recurrence for the future; to obviate entirely that slate of things which enables these traitors to their country to practise on our once well disposed peasantry, and to convert them into tools for their own nefarious ends. There must, I fear, be some just and real occasions for discontent existing amongst our patient and peaceable agricultural popti laliou, or the artifices of designing men would be in vain when applied to them. What these occasions may be in the counties to which tlie evils that we deplore are at present confined, it is foreign to ttiv purpose to enquire. But it is. time for us to ask our- selves, Are there any such occasions iu our own county? Are there any grounds of complaint fur nislied to the peasantry in mir own several neighbour hoods I Are they subjected to any unnecessary hard ships or trials! Can any thing he done by us to lighten their burdens, to better Iheir condition, to make theni more prosperous, more satisfied, aud more attached ? A person who takes only a slight view ofthe subject, may probably Ire ready to say at once, 1 see no cause of complaint that Ihe peasantry of this county can have ; they are in general weil employed; they are paid sollicient wages; they are not dtiven to the poor's rates, and obliged to receive iu the shape of charity what ought to come to them as the fruit of their own industry, which is the case in some counties; and they are treated with kind- ness by their employers. That the poor of this county are in general in a iriueh better condition than in many oilier parts of England, I am perfectly ready to admit But 1 must be allowed to express my conviction, that there are some things in the condition of the poor of this very county, which may be, and which ought lo be speedily auiendtd. 1 have for many years paid much attention to the state of Ihe agricultural poor; I have studied to become acquainted with their wants and their feel- ings ; and I have had means of observing what were the circumstances in their situation which they felt as most irksome and annoying, and the removal of which consequently would be felt as the greatest boon, aud would tend the most to conununicale to them satisfaction. And 1 will mention one point, an attention to which on the part of their landlords or employers nt " toe present crisis, would, 1 feel con- vinced, contribute very greatly to render tbem ami to keep theni contented, and indeed lo promote essen- tially ( heir real welfare. Let them be permitted to hold their cottages immediately of llie Proprietors. On lar^ e estates it appears to be an almost invariable' practice to. set. the farms with a certain proportion of cottages attached to them. These cottages are in- cluded in the general rent paid by the farmer, who is invested wilh all the rights of a landlord with respect to tbem. The practice seems to have arisen in tiroes very different from the present, when the supply of labour was not equal to the demand ; and the object of it appears lo have been to give the farmer a com- mand of labour to a certain extent, by preventing the cottager from engaging himself to a more distant employer. But the effect is evil as far as Ihe poor man is concerned. He feels it hard to be placed out of the cotilronl and protection of him in whose tene- ment he dwells, and to whom he would naturally be disposed to look tip; and thus those feelings of attachment which he ought to have towards the owner of the soii arc inevitably weakened. But this is the least part of the evil. When we consider what human nature is, it is evident that the irresponsible power which is thus placed in the farmer's bauds, is liable to be abused ; and, in fact, I fear it is some- times very improperly exercised. There are instances in which a rent is required of the poor man far higher than the landlord would himself be disposed to charge, and greater than the cottager can afford to pay without the aid of the parish. And if this should not be the case, the poor man irt any rate is deprived of tbe power of choosing bis employer, of making the most of his labour, and of working where he can obtain the best wages. Thus, although this system may be considered a conveni- ence to tlie farmer, it often proves fur otherwise to the labourer. Now the landlord has it in his power to relieve the poor man from this occasion of dis- comfort ; and happily he is enabled to do it without any sacrifice on his own part. He has only lo resume the management and the disposal of his own cottages, and to rr quire from live tenants of them such rents as he considers they can afford to pay ; making the farmer who holds fhein a proportionate reduction in his r: nt, and allowing his poor tenant the full liberty of taking bis labour, as the farmer does bis grain, to any market he pleases. Some objections, 1 am aware, will appear to lie Against any deviation from the present custom. It Will be objected that the farmer will not be able to proi tire labourers to do his work, and thus he may be put to great inconvenience, particularly in harvest- time. But, tinder the present circumstances of this country at least, it, is obvious that this apprehension need not be entertained, since the real difficulty ex- perienced consists, not in obtaining labourers, but in employing those that wc have. And, under any circumstances, it is invariably found true,— that wages will draw labour ; and the farmer will be able at nil times to retain in his employ the labourers who dwell near him, if the wages that he gives are under- stood to be not inferior to those which are given by other farmers who are more remote. It may also tie objected, that the labouring men will become too independent, and in their moral conduct will refuse to submit themselves to any controul. The truth is, the power of exercising controul over the conduct of the labouring classes will be transferred into the hands of the owners of the soil. T hey, or their agents, will have in the first instance the selection of tenants for their cottages; to them, or to their agents, all complaints will be brought respecting the conduct of these tenants; they will have the oppor- tunity of investigating such complaints, and if they are well founded, it wilt be as much their wish and their interest to remove from tlietn a refractory or a vicious tenant, as it can be of the farmer himself. It may also be thought an objection, that the poor man will be much more likely to be thrown tint of em- ployment than he is oil the present plan; since, as he will not be bound to his master, so neither will bis master lie bound to him ; tbat lie has now an equi- table claim upon his master to employ him du ing the winter mouths, since be has had the benefit of his labours during the busy parts of the year; but if he is exempted from the farmer's controul, and has refused to work for him when be wants him, be will have no such claim. In reply to this, it should be observed, that the poor man will take into his account his liability to be in want of winter employment; he will estimate very accurately the consequences of withdrawing himself from the service of the farmer whom he lives contiguous to; he will not rashly incur his displeasure ; and thus the most effectual corrective< rill exist in his own prudential calculations of those inconveniences which may at first sight be anticipated. But besides these objections which have been con- sidered, tl. ere are some which may occur more par- ticularly to the minds of those who own estates. It may be said that additional trouble and cost will be entailed upon theni, by their having to receive them- selves, or through their agents, lliese small rents which are now included in the farmers' rental. It may be admitted that there will he some additional trouble and cost occasioned to the proprietors of estates. But if the plan proposetl be likely to ameli- orate the condition of the poor very importantly, we ought not to shrink from adopting it, though it may be productive of some little personal inconvenience to ourselves. The question is, how can we best acquit ourselves of our responsibility at this crisis of socictc * How can we most effectually ward off the evils which arc gathering around our country? How can we most serve and benefit it? promote its wel- fare ? and uphold its institutions? In its prosperity and security, interests of our own, be it remembered, far beyond those which relate to trouble and ex- pense, interests of a far higher and more sacred nature, are included. But it may be apprehended that the landlord will necessarily be liable to considerable losses from the insolvency of these small payers. In reply to this, I will venture to say that the instances will be rare of a poor man w ho holds his cottage directly of the owner himself, being behind- hand with his rent. I appeal o persons of experience in such matters to confirm my assertion, that occupiers of cottages so circum- stanced, are some of tlte most punctual payers that are. The poor man who experts to pay bis rent to lite owner of his cottage, contrives at all events to be prepared for this payment; he begins to make pro- vision for it lotig before- hand ; he lays it up, by little and little; and whoever else fails at the ap pointed day, be w ill not fail lo make his appearance. The reason of bis punctuality is obvious; he does not wish to sink into the condition of a secondary tenant, if he can possibly avoid it ; he feels it a great privilege to be a tenant in capite, and he will not expose this privilege to any risques ; therefore he is induced to strain every nerve to pay his rent. It is quite different, 1 am aware, w here he is to pay his rent to the farmer; in this case, he often makes no provision belbre- hand; anil when the day of pay- ment comes lie pleads inability, for he considers that the farmer wants bis services, and that the parish may be appealed to, to whom the matter is often referred, and ti/.' in whom the sum needed is in some shape or other usually obtained. Thus there is not any just or well- grounded ob- jection against the agricultural labourer being trans- ferred back again from the hands of the farmer into tlio- e of the owner of the soil. And we have seen how greatly it would contribute to the contentment and prosperity of the poor man himself, and conse- quently, judging by what is now passing around us, to the well- being and tranquillity of the whole com- munity. Let, then, the proprietor of land adopt this improved method of treating the occupiers of his cottages. We have heard much of the hardships of the system of " middle- men" in a neighbouring island ; let us not allow it to remain in this enlight- ened country, into which it has imperceptibly crept. We have seen many statements of the comparative advantagisof free labour over that, of slaves; let us fully avail ourselves of all the advantages of it in this land of liberty. Let us not allow our peasantry to continue in tbe 19th century in any sense " ad- script gleba," und let ns make them " sui juris," in this respect,, in which we can do it without any pre- judi.- e to ourselves, and so much to their own benefit nnd happiness. I had intended, Mr Editor, to have offered some suggestions on the great advantages of attaching allotments of land to cottages, to be cultivated as garden ground. But I fear that 1 have already tres- passed too far on your columns, and on the indul- gence of your readers. I shall, therefore, conclude with briefly summing up the benefits which will he derived, if we adopt that alteration in the tenure of cottages which I have presumed to recommend. Our peasantry will be raised in their own estimation by being brought into this near connection with the owner of Ihe soil; their feelings will be gratified hy the consciousness tliat they have the means of speak- ing to their landlord, or at least to his agent, of making known their little wants, stating theii' little grievances, upplyiny for any repairs which are needed to their dwellings, to keep tliem weather- proof, anil lo protect them and their families from the driving rains, and from the srarcliing winds. Their landlords will now appear to them not as strangers from whom they arc severed by an impas- sable line, which I fear has been too much the case, but in their true character, as their very best friends and protectors, to whom they will look up with respect and gratitude. Their children will be taught so to conduct themselves that they may not forfeit their claim to be continued as tenants in the humble abodes which their fathers have inhabited, and thus ( instead of constant changes of occupancy,) through several generations the same honest, industrious fami- lies will continue to inhabit the same cottages. At- tachment to the owners of those cottages in their occupants will bccome an hereditary feeling, and will be transmitted down from parents to children. And then let the agitator, the sower of sedition, the mid- night incendiary, the murderer of his country's peace, come when he will, be will in vaiu exercise his arts on a peasantry like this; they will not be shaken by any representations or insinuations of his from alle- giance to their king, and from fidelity to their employers and superiors, because 4hey will possess in their own experience the most convincing proofs of the blessings of those institutions under which they live. But, Mr. Editor, it is not sufficient for us to ac. knowledge the truth of these sentiments, as I trust both you and your readers will acknowledge tliem ) let us act upon them, and that with promptitude, for our country is in jeopardy ; not that, any immediate danger can be supposed to attach to those attempts which are now making to stir up mischief, and to spread Confusion and destruction ; shortly we shall see that the perpetrators of these enormities have been bringing destruction upon their own heads; but the danger is, lest our own agricultural population should become greatly and irremediably deteriorated in princip'e ; there is danger lest the manly, honest, and peaceable peasantry of England be ere long con- verted into a race of ferocious incendiaries; there is this danger if we are not every one at our post of duty, and that without the least delay. In the hope of contributing in some humble degree to excite the vigilance of others, and thereby to promote my country's good, 1 have troubled you with these remarks. " Princes and lords may flourish, or mav fade, A breath can make them, as a breath lias made; But a Imtit peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied." I am, Sir, Your's respectfully, PI II LOP ATRIS. « Whitehall, Nov. 25. " Sin,— In the present disturbed state of the country, 1 am commanded by his Majesty lo express his confident expectation that all magistrates will act wilh promptitude, decision, and resolution, which circumstances so imperiously require. " The open acts of violence, and the secret and malicious destruction of property, which are both of them daily taking place, demand that the powers entrusted to the magistracy should be exercised with a firmness aud a vigour which are not required in more ordinary times. " At the same time, therefore, that you will maintain a strict observance of the law, you w ill not fail to use the greatest activity for the detection of those offences which have uufortunately been lately, of so. frequent occurrence, and for the securing of persons of suspicious character, always bearing in mind that the law invests justices of the peace with the fullest powers for these purposes, and affords tile most ample protection to those of ihetn who act with a view to the furtherance of public justice, and without any corrupt or malicious motive. " It is unnecessary for me to observe; that mea- sures which may strengthen the civil force of the. country, by uniting aud bringing it together, and giving it the power and efficiency which arise from communication and union, tire loudly called for; and for the purpose of assisting you in attaining this object, I beg leave to enclose u plan which lias been adopted iu the western district of the county of Sussex, and which has hitherto repressed tumult and maintained the public tranquillity in that part of the country. " In the discharge of yottr duty, and iu your exertions lo maintain the authority of the law, you may rely upon the most steady aud effectual sup- port. It is Ihe determination of those whose duty it is to advise his Majesty, by all lawful means to repress outrage, and to preserve the public tran- quillity ; and as ou the oue hand your efforts for these purposes will be acknowledged as tliey de- serve, so on ttie other any remissness or inactivity in the fulfilment of functions so vitally important will necessarily incur Ilia Majesty's severest dis- pleasure. " 1 have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient servant, " MELBOURNE." PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. [ From the Morning Post- 1 TETBURY, GI. OUCESTERSH IRE. [ from the Cheltenham Chronicle ] The spirit of incendiarism has reached Tetbury and its neighbourhood ; aud during the last week great excitement and alarm has existed in that town. Tbe farmers' labourers in several of the adjoining villages had appointed meetings to con- sult on the best method of applying for an advance of wages, on which occasion they conducted them- selves with the greatest propriety. Several of the lowest and most abandoned characters iii Tetbury, many of them entirely unconnected with ajrcul- ciilturul employment, endeavoured to associate with thein, and by a recapitulation of their real or fnagiuary wrongs, to excite them to violence a d outrageous destruction of property. The rustics had the good sense to inform them lhat they could manage their own affairs without the'r aid. Die- appointed In their nefarious designs, they resolved to commence operatii ns themselves; and going to the clergyman'* house at Tetbury, they extorted a sovereign from liiui; also five shillings from 4 worsted manufacturer, whose machinery they threatened to destroy; they then proceeded to levy contributions from other respectable inhabitants, and even from the poor residents of that town. They afterwards went to Beverstone, N'ewnton, Chaveuage, and other villages, and destroyed seve- ral thrashing and hay- making machines, one of which they burnt near Tetbury. In the course of their predatory range, we are credibly informed, they stopped several vehicles, and demanded money from the persons within them. Had they not been arrested in their mail career, the nio'i, about 250 in number, expressed their intention to enter the manufacturing district by the way of Aveuing, break down the mill dam which confines a large sheet of water belonging to Messrs. Playnes, at Longford*, and then proceed to destroy these gen- tlemen's sawing machines, when they anticipated large accession lo their numbers from the manufac- turii t> population, which would enable thein to go on with impunity lo commit fresh excesses. But, from fhe recent improvement in trade, and partial rise in the wages of the numerous body of weavers in Ihe clothing district, we are led to believe few would have joined them. The magistracy took prompt and effectual measures to suppress these disgraceful scenes, by procuring the assistance of the military stationed ut Durslcy, and providing a good force of ordinary and special constables. The most active leaders of the rioters were assembled at Trouble House, on Tetbury Warren, for the purpose of dividing their booty and drinking to their own success; when Hie house, by the direc- tion of the magistrates, was surrounded by a troop of horse; two were placed with drawn swords at the door, several dismounted and accompanied the peace officers into the house, when the rioters, finding resistance useless, submitted, and twenty- three were taken into custody; the rcmaitider escapeil across the fields iu all directions, followed by the troopers. Against many of thein, who are known, warrants have been issued. Ou Saturday, a Special Petty Session was held at the Session House, Horsley. About half past four, fonr chaises, guarded by four dragoons, and two constables to each chaise, left that place for Glou- cester. Oil Monday morning, two more chaises conveyed Ihe prisoners to tbe county gaol. The magistrates are now busily engaged in swearing in the tradesmen and other respectable inhabitants of Stroud, Miuehiuhanipton, Horsley, Nailsworth, Woodchester, & c. together with the whole of the male persons employed in the various factories, as special constables, for the protection of property. We hear that the destruction of thrashing machines still goes ou, und, in some instances, with Ihe approbation of the owners at Cberrington und other villages. CIRCULARS. The following circular letters have been address- ed by Lord Melbourne, as Secretary for the Home Department, to the Lords Lieutenant and Magis- trates ofthe counties in which disturbances have appeared :— " TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF THE COUJJTY OF " Whitehall, Nov. 25. " In consequence of the aets of outrage and violence which have taken place, und still continue to take place, iu different parts of the country, 1 am commanded by his Majesly to urge upon your in the strongest manner, the necessity of taking, with the least possible delay, such measures as may be effectual for the repression of tiunult, the pre- servation of the public peace, and the protection of Ihe properties and lives of his Majesty's subjects For these purposes I am assured that your will feel that Ihe utmost diligence and energy should be exerted iu concerting measures with the gentry and yeomanry of the county, iu assembling and strengthening tlie civil force, and in disposing and arranging it in such a manner as may secure its general union and co- operation. In order that your efforts may receive the most effectual support and assistance, I have the honour of enclos- ing a letter which 1 have addressed to all justices of Ibe peace, mayors, and other magistrates having jurisdiction within the county over which you preside. Reposing the firmest reliance upon your zeal, it is unnecessary for me to reeomment) the most prompt and immediate personal superintend- ance of those parts of the county iu which insubor- dination and disorder may unfortunately prevail ; but it is my duty to represent, that if any cifcBtn- stunees should prevent your actual presence in such disturbed districts, it is greatly to be desired that your should lose no lime in appointing a Vice- lieutenant, under the provisions of the 46llt of George III. c. 90, sec 4fi. Under the present cir- cumstances, I shall wish to bear from your as Fpeedily as possible alter, the receipt of this, and " I remain, wilh great respect, " Your most obedient and faithful servant, " MELBOURNE," Lord King made a little speech last night ( Thursday) ill the House of Lords in favour of Parliamentary Reform, and ill commendation of Earl Grey, whose scheme of Reform he seems to think will prove highly satisfactory ; lhat is, veri- similar to his own. In any other circumstances than the preseut, the opinion of Lord King would be of very lillle importance. But now that we know it to be the intention of the Executive Go- vernment to effect, if possible, some change in the powers and practice of ihe Constitution, the opinions and desires of every class of innovators ..( and Lord King may be taken as the representative of a class) acquire claims to attention, which, under a conservative Government, tbey could never have possessed. The Reform, then, which will satisfy Lord King, includes not merely the grant of direct representation lo all the large towns which do not at present send Members to the House of Com- mons, but the extinction of all the nomination or proprietary horouglis of the kingdom without exception. It would excite some alarm, we think, ' throughout the country, if it were believed that the project of the Administration is sufficiently radical to satisfy Lord King ; yet this Noble Lord pro- fesses to be fully satisfied as to the intentions of the Ministers, aud every body knows that Whig Ministers have never been distinguished for ability to keep their own couusel. It would be difficult we think, for Lord King lo shew that either the population ofthe large manufacturing towns, or the general body of the people of England, will be in the slightest degree benefitted by granting to the former the right of electing Members of Parlia- ment. The very fact of those towns having risen to their present rank and importance is a proof that their interests do not in fact sustain any injury for want of the privilege it is now proposed to give them, while it may fairly be doubted whether the privilege will not be really detrimental to their welfare. If the right of voting is to bo confined to the more wealthy classes of the inhabitants, greater and more dangerous discontent will be produced among Ihe poorer and more numerous body of the people than any existing defects in the constitution of Parliament could ever have occa- sioned. If, on the other hand all, or nearly all, are to vole, frequent scenes of tumult and violence, a great increase of low dissipation and of habitual idleness, can scarcely fail to take place among a population so crowded, so inflammable, and so uu- iustructed, as that of our chief manufacturing towns. With respect to the close boroughs, which supply a certain portion of the Members of the House of Commons, we concede to the Reformers that they present a constitutional anomaly, but we contend that this, which is a fault only in the estimation of dreaming theorists, is more than atoned for by the practical benefits of which they are the source. The rauk, the wealth, the talent of the country, have in this part of the representation a sure means of influence in the Legislature, aud an easy avenue by which to mingle ill its deliberations. The fact is indisputable, that by far Ihe greater number of men whose talents have shed lustre upon Parliament, aud who have contributed in an eminent degree to the welfare and greatness of the Slate for Ihe last two centuries, have been intro- duced into public life by means of these close boroughs, and but for them would in all probability never have been introduced at all. This single fact is more thau sufficient lo reconcile us to a greater anomaly, even if w e were less seusible than we are of the incalculable danger of changing institutions which are sanctified by time, aud supported by the safe testimony of experience. The reforming Premier took occasion the other night, in his explanatory speech, which was so very general, that indeed it explained nothing, to denounce all who should not be satisfied with his scheme of Reform, whatever that may happen to be, as revolutionists. Earl Grey has traced the precise boundary in his own mind where Reform ceases and revolution begins. We should be very glad to know on which side of the line he has placed his Noble Friend Lord King, after his speech of last night, or on which side of it even the Noble Premier places his own former self? Is there, in truth, any BUCII boundary except in the imagination of the Noble Lord ? Or if, as bis Lordship so loudly proclaims a great Reform, any Reform greater thau his own would be revolution, is it not more correct to say that a little Reform is a revolution iu its infancy ? abilities of public men, are denied the possession of a privilege which is prostituted under one's very nose, and the vote which it confers sold for u base bribe. Yet the men who, from their standing in society, and especially from their electioneering experience, have enjoyed the best means of know- ing the extent to which bribery and corruption have prevailed iu the successive elections which have taken place in this town, during the last quarter of a century, are the very men who affect to tremble when an enlargement of the franchise is proposed ; wlto have uniformly opposed the attempts which, from time to time, have been made to reform our elective system; and who talk of revolution as the secret aim of the truest patriots ! Such tnen are beyond the reach of argument. Experience itself would even seem to be wholly lost 011 dolts and idiots who have not the sense fo perceive that a re. volution is inevitable, if the present system is allow- ed to continue for but a short time longer ; and that the only way by which it can be prevented is, to amend the shockingly defective and iniquitous systems of suffrage and representation which now prevail throughout the empire. " We do not, however, rest our hostility to the present partial, unjust, and iniquitous system on the notorious fact of the right of suffrage being shame- fully abused. Were the electors as pure as it is possible for peccant mortals to be, we should still be hostile lo it, because it makes a distinction where, none should be allowed to exist. For why shou| d one mail be permitted to enjoy and to exercise a sacred political right, and another, whose claim to it is equally unquestionable, be wholly denied the privilege? If I contribute my quota towards tbe exigencies of the state, why should I not have a voice in choosing the men whose business it will be to watch the expenditure of the money so contributed? Tbe truth is, that the only reason which can be given for the exist- ence of our unequal system is, that, at tbe era when the right of voting was conferred, people were as indifferent to its possession as the majority of parishioners now are lo the right of voting in parish vestries. Il was not then a power by the abuse of which its owner could make money, and fill his pockets at the expense of his integrity and his independence. The ambition of the rich, how- ever, and the venality of the poor, have tnade bribery and corruption part and parcel of almost every English election ; and the electors of the freest state iu Christendom are, taken us a whole, Ihe most corrupt that the world ever saw. The system has now reached the very highest pitch bf enormity, especially iu the great and enlightened town of Liverpool. Bribes were, last week, offered and accepted iu the public streets. Drunkenness prevailed among women as well as men. Habits of industry were wholly thrown off, and all sense of decency and of decorum utterly lost. Can, we ask, can such a system be permitted to continue by any legislature which is not blind to the consequences which must iuevitably spring from its perpetuation in Ihe present enlightened era, and particularly in the preseut state aud temper of the people of Eng. land?" HINTS FOR THE NEW MINISTERS. The Liverpool Albion, in reference to the pro- ceedings of the late contest for the representation of that Borough, says— " If any man, after having witnessed the scenes of which Liverpool has, during the past week, been the theatre, can deny the necessity of an immediate as well as a radical change in the distribution of the elective franchise in towns l. ke the one iu which we live, such a man must be cither a fool or a knave. If a fool, his folly renders him proof against the force of the most convincing evidence of the infamy ofthe present system; if a knave, his knavery either prompts him to profit by the abominable abuse of a sacred constitutional right, w hich ought to be exercised with Ihe purest and most patriotic intentions, or to employ the wealth which fortune has placed at his disposal, for the purpose of cor- rupting the small portion of virtue and independence which, in these degenerate days, appertains to human nature. Base and infamous as is tiie conduct of the poor man, even when he is placed within the sphere of temptation, baser and more infamous still is the cuuduct of the rich man who lavishes his gold on the w retched beings who reel and stagger through the public streets, the- victims of drunkenness aud debauchery,— beasts iu the shape of men, who are not merely a disgrace to freedom, lint to human nature itself. It makes one's blood boil with indig- nation to see the proudest right which the citizens of a free, au enlightened state can exercise com- mitted to the keeping of ignorant and depraved men, the majority of whom are composed of the very dregs— the very scum of the town; whilst the em- ployers of labour, the middle and the educated classes, und even most of the higher ranks of our fellow- townsmen, who, from education and station, are the best qualified 10 estimate and appreciate the The following hints are given to his Majesty's present Ministers in The Times:— " Ministers ought to cut down their own large salaries at the outset. The Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland ought to be got rid of as expeditiously as Ihe forms anil intricacies of public business will permit. The Duke of Northumberland some time since made a liberal sacrifice of at least one- fourth of the income of that unwieldly office ; and by way of illustration of the view which we have brought forward, the extinction of the whole will be in so far facilitated, as the place of Lord Lieutenant must be henceforth much less an object of desire to needy noblemen. We have heard, but cannot affirm positively, that Lord Anglesey will be the last Lord Lieutenant, and that his appointment is but a pre- liminary to the almost immediate abolition of that ancient but worn- out rank. " It has been alleged 011 respectable authority, that the Vice- Treasurership of Ireland had been improved by the Duke of Wellington into a place of considerable labour and efficiency ; at least we have been told that its late possessor, the Knight of Kerry, neither found it a sinecure nor made it so. If, however, the business can be done through clerks, without Ihe cost of a salary of £ 2500 per annum, the public has an undoubted right to the benefit of such a saving. " The public boards are kept up at an enormous and needless expense. The Duke of Wellington tried his hand at them, and did something, but not half enough. Instead of being what the lively audacity of Mr. Canning's imagination represented them, so many cradles for infant statesmen, they are, in too many cases, but easy chairs for decrepi- tude, or pillows whereon helpless and high- born beggary may indulge its contempt for those on whose bread it fattens. Lords of the Admiralty— of the Treasury— Commissioners of the India Board, of which ihe whole business is done by the Chief Commissioner alone— Commissioners of Excise and Customs, and Stamps, and Navy Board, and Victual- ling Board, and Woods and Forests, and Hackney Coaches,— all might be diminished by at least two- thirds of their number. So the diplomatic service, pruned, as it was, and to a considerable extent, by Lord Aberdeen, will admit of a much greater re- trenchment, and the public business be incomparably better executed than at present. What do such men as Sir Charles Bagot and Lord Burghersh do as an equivalent for their prodigious salaries ? The dignity of Great Britain is not best upheld by fine laced liveries, nor her character by fashionable manners; nor are her rights and interests best understood or defended by ignorant, feeble, frivo- lous, or arrogant personages, because they may happen to be the expensive nephews, brothers, or sous of courtiers. " Again, was there ever such a nest for voracious vermin as the Royal Hon . ehold, in its several rami- fications of complex and barbarous superfluity' What use has the King of England for a set of Lords ( by w ay of menial servants) about him— hereditary legislators, judges, over a free people— yet domes- tics of a limited monarch, at so many thousands each per annum, for wearing out their lives in irk- some yawning attendance upon a King who feels oppressed by their contiguity to his person. " Then we have the Duchy of Lancaster, with a huge salary,— must that abuse of the public treasure be coutiuued ? The Lieutenant General of the Ordnance, condemned not twelve months ago, by the whole liberal opposition iu Parliament,— what becomes of that ? " To change to auother branch, for they are many, of the extravagance visible in all our institu- tions— the salaries of the Judges— raised, as Ihey professed to be, on account ofthe high prices of all articles of consumption, ought they not to be lower- ed after the fall in price of every thing that was the subject of sale or purchase,— every tiling, we may well subjoin, but justice itself, which costs as much as ever? We had as good Judges, and as speedy redress of wrongs, when the Judges' salaries were but £ 3500 per annum, as now when they are £ 5500. At least £ 1000 a- year ought at once to be struck off the pay of those learned personages. " Then for the army,— kept up, as it is, to its present standard, on the plea of sending portions of it to rot away periodically in our numerous colonial garrisons ! What need have the colonies of garrisons of regular troops, more particularly since the liberal policy of our relations with America will have the effect of improving their condition ? " The interior police of one island colonics should be left toa militia, paid by themselves; and what- ever additional defence was demanded should be provided for by an increase to our naval squadrons stationed in all quarters of the globe. This arrange- ment would admit of a reduction of one sixth of the standing army of Great Britain." account of informality. When the informers left the Tolsey, they were so roughly handled by the mob, that, . they were obliged to seek refuge in the Town- Clerk's office, where they remained until the whole of tbe borough constables could be assembled to escort them out of town. Their enemies were not, however, to be thus deprived of their " sport;" for when the constables relinquished their charge, at the outskirts ofthe borough, these obnoxious " limbs of the law'* not only bad their chillies literally torn from their backs, but were so bedaubed with soot, grease^ sheep's entrails, and articles still more unsavoury, that the poor affrighted creatures fell upon their knees, and promised for ever to relinquish tile trade of informers, if their assailants would spare their lives. It is highly probable that they would have been stifled in filth, if some respectable individuals had not interfered, and obtained for them a temporary asylum iu the House of Industry there they re- mained until nearly eleven o'clock at night, and even then they were afraid to quit their hiding- place, until some of the paupers consented to accompany them on their way back to Cheltenham. A SWALLOW'S NEST.— Otto V011 Kotzebue, who tnade the voyage round the world, in the Russiau service,- for purposes of scientific observation and discovery, relates the following interesting', and almost pathetic circumstance:—" In the harbour of St. Peter and St. Paul,- there is sufficient depth of water close to the shore to admit of landing by means of a plank only. This proximity led a pair of swallows to mistake our frigate for a building* upon terra firma, and, to the infinite delight of the sailors, who regarded it as a iucky omen, Ihey deliberately built themselves a nest close to my cabin. Undisturbed by the noise in tbe ship, the loving pair batched Iheir brood in safety, fed their young ones with the tenderest care, and cheered llient with joyous songs. But when ou a sudden they saw their peaceful dwelling removing from the land, the^ seemed astonished, and hovered anxiously about the ship, yet still fetched food for their younjf from the shore, till the distance became too great. The struggle between the instincts of self- preserva- tion and parental love then became perceptible. They flew round the vessel, then vanished for awhile, then suddenly returned to their hungry family, and stretching their open beaks towards them, seemed to lament that no food was to bo found. This alternate disappearing and returning continued some time, and terminated in the parents returning no more : the sailors then look ou them- selves tbe care of the deserted orphans. They removed them from the nest where the parent's warmth was necessary, to auother lined witli cotton, and fixed iu a warm place, and fed tbem wilh flies, which seemed to please their palates Very well. The system at first appeared to have perfectly succeeded, and we were in hopes of car- rying them safely to America; when, in spite of tho most careful attention, they fell sick, aud oil the eighth day, to the general sorrow, not oue of our nurslings remained alive. They, however, afforded an additional proof bow kindly the common pedple of Russia are interested in all that is helpless." HINTS TO WIVES.— I had for some time lately been in the habit of giving instructions on the German flute to Mr. Sperling, a gentleman who had retired from business with a handsome fortune, and who, though a widower of sixty years of age, bad had ihe courage to take for a second wife a buxom young widow of thirty. They lived tolerably well together for a time, notwithstanding the disparity of their ages. Their harmony was, however, at length interrupted by the clatter of the lady's tongue, which was incessantly exerted to induce her spouse to make his will, not only in her favour, but in her presence also. The good man being- desirous to avoid, as Congreve says, " that eternal rotation of tongue which never gave even an echo fair play," was induced to comply with her desire, and, taking Iter with him to his solicitor, bequeathed to her his whole fortune. The lady, in consequence, was for a short period in good huuiour and full of spirits; but, alas! through the instability of human affairs, she at length assumed an increased tone of violence and independence ; and, iu the climax Of oiie of her curtain lectures, observed to her husband, that, as she was now provided for, be might die as soon as he pleased. This expression, making a powerful impression on the mind of Mr. S , he, as soon as breakfast was ended Ihe following morn- ing, repaired to his attorney's, whom he informed, that he had come for the purpose of making his will. " What!" said the lawyer, greatly surprised, " have you forgotten that you hiade your will six months ago?" " That was my wife's will," replied the client, " and now I am come to make my own." He then cancelled Ihe former testament, and by a new one divided the bulk of his property ( nine hundred a- year) among his relations, and to bis kind rib he assigned an annuity of two hundred pounds, — Parke's Musical Memoirs. ANECDOTE OF NAFOLEON.— It is well known that Napoleon ( like all other Republicans who hare found means to elevate themselves, under the pretence of establishing liberty and equality) liked splendour in every thing and every person at his court. A senator of very handsome fortune, but of very sordid habits, was seen by the Emperor alighting from a hackney coach at the gates of the Tuilleries. The monarch said to him, 011 bis appearance in the saloon, " Have you no carriage r" " No, sire," replied the senator, " I have not yet been able to provide myself with one, but 1 hope shortly to do honour to your kind generosity." " Well, well," rejoined the Emperor, " you shall have one to- morrow suitable to your rank." The senator left tbe royal presence trans- ported with joy at the idea of having a carriage ffea of expense. The morrow came, and with it came a beautiful carriage, to which four magnificent horses were richly harnessed ; at the same time a note from the sovereign—" Pay to the bearer 20,000 francs, price of the equipage," was handed to him, with the command of which, very unwillingly, he was forced to comply. The matter formed a standing jok£ at the imperial court for a long time afterwards. THE VINE.— There is no plant which has such ample and indisputable claims to our veneration' at the juicy vine; nor any which has equal pretension* to " so gray an antiquity of idolatry." What reader needs to be reminded, that it was a pet- child with good father Noah ? The juice of the grape is named, indeed, almost in the same breath with'the culture of the parent vine itselt. It was amongst the earliest offerings dedicated to the Divinity.—* But what concern have we with such things in this utilitarian sobriety ? " We are in error, if we con- ceive that the vine, now cultivated, is indigenous to European climes, since Humboldt says, it grows wild in Armenia aud Caramattia, as well as alont; the coasts of the Caspian.— Thence it travelled info Greece, and from lhat classic sky was introduced into Sicily. The Phoenicians carried it to the south of France, aud the Romans domesticated it on fhe banks ofthe Rhine. 111 both of those countries fhe vine is attached to poles; but in Spain these ara not used ; and the plant is kept short in its growth, in order that it may possess a stout stem. In Greeco and Italy it clings to trees, walls, and trellis- work,, or verandas. It attains toa good old age; even Pliny speaks of a vine that bad survived six centu- ries; audit is matter of notoriety that there are vineyards iu France and Italy which are not only precisely in the saiye condition as Ihey were three hundred years ago, but continue to yield abundant crops. The wood ofthe vine becomes uncommonly solid when of old standing; aud, in warm climates, the stem grows to such a size, that boards aie sawed out of it, aud converted to tbe manufacture of furniture and other articles. Strabo even men- tions a vine lice, the girth of which required the arms of two nicu to compass.— Country Times. f83teccUancous lutclligcncc. INFORMKRS.— O11 Friday last, two common in- formers, of the names of Cooke and Cox, from Chel- tenham, who had been pursuing their vocation at Tewkesbury, were so severely maltreated by the populace, that there is little fear of their ever re- visiting that borough. These worthies laid an information against a most respectable pawnbroker, who, through inadvertency, had neglected to affix the name correctly on the sign- board, in the way pre- scribed by the law; but the case, which was heard before a full bench of .
