Be particular io enquire fov WARREMS, 30, STRAND, ALL OTHERS ARE COUNTERFEIT. r| pF3IS very important Discovery was the result of grent experience. The late Dr. WRIGHT, au eminent Medical Practitioner at STAF- FORD, applied himself diligently many years in endeavouring to Hnd an effectual Remedy for the above alarming and ( ton frequently) obstinate Dis- eases. After a series nf experiments, much labour, and perseverance, he at length produced the PEARL OINTMENT, which, in a Ion a: « ud very extensive practice, he found to be almost invariably successful. The present Possessor, llie Doctor's firai'flson, has been iu the habit of preparing and distributing it / gratuitously) to the afflicted for many yenrs^ with the same success, until at length the applications for it became so numerous from different parts uf the king- dom, that he was compelled either to abandon the preparation of it altogether ( fioin the great expense which he incurred) or introduce it to the- Public on sale. At the earnest entreaties of'many persons of respectability, who had witnessed its beneficial ef- fects, at » d after the moist - mature consideration on his own part, the Possessor has decided upon tbe latter plan. The extraordinary efficacy of this Ointment lias been fully proved for forty years ; in many inve- terate cancerous cases it ban effectually cured those who had previously laboured under, the agonizing apprehensions of surgical operations, it is entirely free from offensive smell; and from the harmless nature' of the ingredients, it may be applied to children of the most tender years. It is introduced under the sanction aud recommendation of Medical Gentlemen of great eminence and respectability ; and around each Pot will be found most satisfactory Testi- monials wf its efficacy, and also a few ( ot the many) Affidavits of Persons who have been cured of the most inveterate cutaneous and other diseases; which, it is presumed, are the surest proofs of its claim* to general confidence. In conclusion, the Public are solemnly assured that this Ointment is totally unconnected with any species of quackery.

In the course of the proceedings in the Honse of JLords, on Thursday night, Earl Gfti V said"-" On the part of himself and those who acted with hkn, he railed for the aid of all persons who had the good of the country really at heart. He called upon such persons not lo interrupt his Majesty's ministers more than a sense of public duty required : beyond this point he asked for no further confidence. He could hope for no success hilt from the support which he might receive : his was a difficult task, and, unless sustained by the voice qf the country, nothing re- mained un which he could depend. In the House of Commons, on Thursday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer moved, pursuant to notice, the appointment of a Committee to deter- mine the amouut of reduction proper to be made in the salaries of persons holding public appoint- tncuts at the pleasure of the Crown, and being members of either House of Parliament. ( n the House of Commons, on Friday, the Chan- cellor ofthe Exchequer stated, in reply to a ques- tion from Sir H. Parnell, relative to the renewal of the Charter of the Bank of England, that Mem- bers might rest assured that no pledge should be given to the Bank before the whole of the matter was laid before the House. The Noble Lord further stated, that he fully agreed that inquiry into the whole ofthe banking system should then be entered into, for the purpose of devising means tor placing the currency of the country upon a permanent aud secure footing. The Hon. Robert Grosvinior has been re- elected ( or the city of Chester.— The Preston election com- menced on Tuesday, when Mr, Orator Hunt was put in nomination against the Hon Mr. Stanley : and at. the close of Saturday night's poll, the numbers were — for Mr. Hunt 3311- for Mr. Stanley 2853— ma- jority 458.— Sir John Johnson has been elected for Yorkshire. " Reform in parliament ( says Blackwood), formerly a hopeless speculation, is uow adopted strenuously as the favourite measure of Ihe times. In anysensc ill which reform would satisfy those who clamour for it, we view it us the most dangerous scheme that ever has dceu agitated. In connection with the ballot, which also is demanded by the majority, it will practically overthrow the constitution, and a sweeping agrarian revolution Will inevitably follow withiu two or three years:" It is gratifying to state, that the disturbances, out- rages, anil wanton destruction of property, which have alarmed and disgraced various parts of the country, are fast subsiding in every direction. At Chelmsford, on Friday, John Ewan, labourer, was tried for setting fire to a barn at Rayleigh, in that county, on the 5th of November, and a verdict of Guilty was returned. Mr. Justice Taunton imme- diately passed sentence of Death upon him, and intimated that lie must expect no mercy in this world. BANKRUPTS, DEC. 10.-.

( Machynlleth), Rev. C. Williams, Evan Stephens, Esq. II. Bihby, Esq-. Thomas Drew, Esq. E. Edve, Esq. George Gould, Esq & c. & c. - The HIGH SHERIFF opened the business of the day by observing, that, connected with the subject of this meeting, a paragraph had appeared in the Shrewsbury Chronicle of Friday last, which, if left unnoticed, might create an urifounded prejudice. The paragraph to which he alluded said— " Tire in ' lice istoo slant; far it ran ilni he conveyed, except by til is Paper, which scarcely arrives, in several districts, before Saturday or Sunday. The notice of one or two days is iiisufli. cient." Now the fact was, the first notice of the meeting was circulated throughout the connty by means of handbills, the second notice appeared in the Salopian Journal of Wednesday last, and the next notice appeared in the Shrewsbury Chronicle of Friday last, not as the only medium by which the notice of the meeting could be circulated in the county, but as the only remaining medium by means of which that notice could be given. The High" Sheriff then read the Requisition for, and Notice appointing the meeting, as advertised in our last Journal, and said he was sure that every Gentleman who wished to address the meeting on the subject would receive a patient and fail- hearing. WILLIAM OWEN, Esq. ( of Glanse^ ern) then said the requisition that had just I teen read, contained his name at the head of it, not as the person of the first importance in that list of names, for there were many in that list, and many not there to be found, that were Connected with the county, to whom he was infinitely inferior in rank and in consideration. But, connected as he had been for many years with the administra- tion of justice, and from a variety of other circum- stances, many persons had wished him to place bis name at the head of Ihe list. He was glad to hear what had fallen from the Sheriff on the subject of the notice of the meeting, because every exertion had been made to give it publicity, and that it had received that publicity was best evidenced by the unprece- dented attendance of that day. Several names that would have deserved a more prominent place among the requisitionists than his own would have appeared had there been time*, among others, that of Mr. Tracy, who had since desired him to affix it. He could appeal to all who heard him, whether during his long residence iti this county, he had not refrained from showing liny inclination to have his voice heard in it, excepting ih a case of necessity, nor until an occasion of great importance and magnitude had presented itself as in the instance of the alteration of the state of the Welsh Judicature. ( Appluiise.) On that occasion he felt it his duty, from his long pro- fessional experience, to come forward and give in- formation to those who conld not he expected to understand the question so well -. and when he did so he did not know that there would have been five persons to support him, because, until the meeting took place, he thought the feeling of the county would have been the other way. One thing, however, he trusted he should have credit for; and that was, of never having acted in public life, but from the : purest motives. On those grounds, he took up the subject of the Welsh Judicature ; and lie should never fofget the patient attention with which he had been heard on that question; and for which he re- turned thanks. He now came forward on a subject of infinitely more importance; that of the Welsh Judi- cature was confined to the Principality; this con- cerned the lives and fortunes of every individual. It had been said, perhaps ludicrously, that Montgo- meryshire was the first county to come forward in the Principality; it was so ; and he hoped the example would be followed by all other counties. (. Applause.) The Requisition for this meeting was - signed hy poisons' of education, fortune, rank, and integrity, not actuated by private motives, having no passions or prepossessions fo gratify : anxious only to advance the great interests of the nation at this important period. ( ApplauseJ He was himself most anxious to steer clear of any thing that should hurt the feelings of any individual ; and he trusted the subject would be discussed without, any expression of feeling of fhe kind to which he had alluded. ( Applause J Slucli importance had been attached to the steps that had been taken to reform and amend the laws, which was, indeed, an important work ; they were, however, this day met on a more important business ; they were, in fact, met to secure the return of good and sufficient law- makers. ( Applause. J It was intended that the House of Commons should have been the Representa- tives of the People: but were they so? Was it not notorious that some Boroughs returned members on the dictation of one or two individuals, anil that the members so returned formed a large proportion of the Commons House of Parliament? It was, therefore, a perversion of language to say such persons were re- presentatives of the people. He would instance a few of these places. [ The learned Gentleman here went into a detail of the nature of the representation as exhibited by Old Sarum, Gatton, Westbury, Newton, Lnggershall, Weobly, Bletchingley, Callington, Truro, Haslemere, & c.] It was notorious that Borough | Interest, had been the sole catise of some people being elevated lo the Peerage, and of others having been promoted; while in another way, the system of Borough elections was of the most gross and injurious nature. He could look around, and see some persons of whose services they had been deprived ; for was it not notorious, that in a county not far from them, Parliament and the Country had been deprived of the services of one of their most valued friends by the present corrupt aud profligate system? Look too, at the occurrences of yesterday, at Liverpool, that most corrupt and scandalous scene : would any man say such things were in acccordanec willi the spirit of the Constitution? The learned Gent, then proceeded to trace the progress and history of the question of Par- liamentary Reform from the year 1768 to the present period, and proceeded to lament that the laws now framed were so defective, and fell so much short of the objects they proposed to effect, which would not be the case in a Reformed Parliament, and lie congratu- lated the country that they had an Administration pledged to bring the question of Reform forward. If the question of Reform had been attended to in 1768, as proposed by the County of York, Which then peti- tioned, the present distresses would not have existed, and all would now have been belter off; antl if the present Ministers are now in earnest, ( as he trusted they were) the petitions and resolutions of such a meeting as that ofthe present day would strengthen their hdnds; and if they were not in earnest, or if the country did not support them in their honest endeavours to better the condition of the people, by effecliug a reform in the state of the Representation, Government would very soon be at an end, and the country would be all afloat. After a peace. of 15 years, they had now almost all the war taxes remaining; and to a Reformed Parlia- ment only could they look for the return of such Re- presentatives as would exert themselves to obtain a relaxation of the burdens under which they were now weighed down. After again' exp'rcssingliis- regrct tlyit Mr. Tracy, Col. Edwards, Mr. Meares, and other gentlemen favourable tot- lie views of the. ret| uisitiohists, 1 could nut'attend, the learned gentleman concluded a speech, of which this report i- S but an outline, by .^ r< j, posing the resolutions advertised in. another column-' T. B. BROWNE, Esq. of MellibgtUi, saij" lie be- lieved there were some persons well disposed to the cause of Parliamentary Reform tha^^ iifffj| nwillinv to agitate it at the present tnpmerit if e>|.- itemfeiiS. He, however, respectfully differed From those per- sons; for if it was not brought forward at a period of excitement it would never be carried. He belieVed that Ministers were anxious that the voice of the country should be expressed ; and their1 present pro.- ceedings would strengthen and not embarrass the Ministry: and he implored the higher, clashes to consider before they opposed the expression of public opinion ; for he believed that if Reform did not now take place, they should have Revolution. Some persons he perceived differed in opinion from him; but at any rate, he w as sure, if Reform did mot take place,' there would be great danger as to the conse- quences. Parliamentary Reform was not a violation but a restoration of the Constitution. He would not say the present Parliament did not represent the feelings of the people, but he thought it. did not He was himself an advocate of Parliamentary Reform, and of equal laws — by which he meant that the fe' should not profit by the injury of the many. Tliey must have their bad Corn Laws, and their worse Game Laws, amended ;- and the revenue put on a different footing, both as lo its- collection and tlie principle on which it was levied. There were in the present administration men, and particularly Mr. Powlett Thomson, to whom lie would willingly leave those questions. He did not believe that there was no such tiring as honesty in public men, amLiliat every man had his price,: hot in the present state of the Representation it was impossible for Ministers- to carry a measure of Reform, unless supported by the peo- ple; for a majority of the - representatives, returned as tliey were by the present mode, would be against them. After some further observations, condemna. tory - of the foreign policy of the late Administration, and of the profligacy of the Borough system, and in eulogy of the late French Revolution, Mr. Browne concluded by seconding the resolutions proposed by Mr. Owen. Col. DAVIVS thought tlie question of Reform had better be left altogether to His Majesty's Ministers He therefore begged leave to propose the following Resolutions to the meeting, by way of amendment:— " That we have heard with great satisfaction the declaration of his Majesty's Ministers, that it is their intention to,, propose the consideration of, a Reform iu the Parliamentary Representation, and to enforce a rigid Economy in the Public Expenditure. " That the House of Cmnmous having, a^ the sug- gestion of his Majesty's Ministers, already appointed a Committee for the consideration of a Retrenchment in the Salaries of Public OSicers; and his ^ laicsty's Minis- ters haviitg also declared it to be their intention of sub- mitting the Question of Reform imiijediateiy after the Christmas Recess;— - j 1. \ r ' ' " RESOLVED, - Hi, CA ^ " That it is the opinion of this yeelmg, that j. t is desirable to await the result of the,. Committee how sitting, and the developemeut of the plan of Reform, before this County is called upon to express its senti- ments." Mr. PANTON CORBETT, after apologising for tres- passing on the attention of the meeting, said, that, as a freeholder, when two sets of resolutions were laid before him, he thought it right to state to which he gave the preference. His Majesty's present Ministers were pledged lo bring forward a measure of Reform; and therefore he thought it unnecessary to agitate the question. If they had been unwilling to have brought it forward, then he should have been as willing to support, the resolutions first moved as any other man. ( Applause. J The truth of the first set of resolutions he did not deny ( applause J ; and he had taken the opportunity of shewing, when a Mem- ber of the House « > f Commons, what his opinions were, hy voting in the ranks of Reform with their late Member and present. Candidate ( Mr. Wynn) No man was more anxious for Retrenchment and Reform than he was; but he thought, as the Minis- ters were pledged to introduce a measure of Reform, they should wait and see what it was ihat. they intended to offer. If it were unsatisfactory, then let them join heart and hand to press upon them for all that in moderation and justice could be wished: but as, at present, there was no reason to. doubt their intentions, he should beg leave to second the resolu- tions proposed by Colonel Davies. The HIGH SHERIFF asked if any other Gentleman wished to address the meeting — After a pause of some lime— | -'•- The Rev, D NIHILL rose, and said lie had waited iu expectation that some individual of higher rank and belter qualified than he. was, would have pre- sented himself to the meeting: that had not been done ; and he would, therefore, trespass Upon their time but for a short period. He was perfectly aware that it might be thought presumptuous iu so humble an individual as himself trespassing upon their atten- tion. ( No, no.) But it was now time when every man who felt the least love for his country, and the slightest emotion of anxiety as to its welfare, man- fully to come forward and bear his share of the exertions requisite to promote his country's interest. As a member of the clerical profession also, it might be objected that he ought not to put. himself forward on public occasions. To-. tliat proposition, he cordially assented generally; but *?| wn in .4 political discussion, the interests ot'religion; and morality" rit'ignt be reached through that discussion, then life ' H& isi- dered it the duty of a clergyman lo interfere. Such was the case to day ; for if ever there was a question that connected itself with the morals of the people, it was the question of Parliamentary Reform. Upon that great question two sets of resolutions had been proposed to them : on the first set they had heard much argument: on the second set but little, not for want of intellect on the part of the gallant proposer or of the lion, seconder of those resolutions, but because that second scries of resolutions^ vas such as it did not become the county to adop, t » Those honourable gentlemen had not shewn one reason for not adopting the first set of resolutions. It. bad been said very justly that the object of the- first set of resolutions was not to embarrass, but to strengthen the Government. If the Government meant fairly to bring the question before Parliament, their resolu- tions would have the effect of seconding their endea- vours. If they did not mean fairly, then those resolutions would tell them what the country ex- pected, and what it was their duty to enforce. The effect of the second set of resolutions would be to frustrate the objects of the meeting, and . to disappoint the expectations of the country. The first, set was levelled against the atrocities of the rotten borough system— against that system which waSsi^ pping and underm: ni igthe vitals of the country, / jApplause- J Surely, if « he gentlemen who proposed the second set of resolutions, and the meeting generally, agreed in the principle of the first set, they could have no objection to adopt them. But then they were asked to wait. If they did Wait, they would be disap- pointed— they would be defeated. If Government was anxious to carry the question of Reform, the country must support them, must express its opinion, or the Government would be beaten by the repre- sentatives of the rotten boroughs. At the present moment, if the measure were carried in the House of Commons, there was too much reason to suspect it would be defeated in the House of Lords; and that appeared to him to be the strongest reason why every county in England aud Wales should express ils sentiments. If the Government was sincere, the general expression of public opinion would prevent the designs of a selfish Aristocracy in their opposition lo the Government: and he thought they would do right to roll such a tide of public opinion as should pressagain- t Ihe doors of Parliament with a plenitude of pouer that would be irresistible. Looking at the financial and every other interest of the country, at the venality of the electors, and at the defective state of the Representation, it became the duty of every honest and independent, man toj. exjjpjjs bis senti- ments on the subject of Parliamentary 1 Reform. ( Great applause. J ' •'- .1U-, ., f i , The Rev. C. T. C. LuXMOKE Said, althougbi the meeting were all agreed on one point, namely, as to the propriety of petitioning for Reform, he thought there was one thing which should be particularly pressed on the attention of Parliament: that was, the necessity of affording, in any system of Reform, a due protection to the Agricultural interest. At present, whenever a candidate courted the popular suffrage, it was hy an avowal of his intention to deny protection to the agriculturist— that was, in fact, made a clop- trap for the purpose of gaining the voice of the multitude. The Rev. Gent, quoted the opinions of Loi> l Wynford to show the importance of protection to the landed interest; and instanced the land- tax, and other state burdens, which fe| l exclu- sively on the land; and warned them, that if a repre- sentation not founded on the basis of agricultural protection should be granted, the land would be eventually left to bear all the burdens of the state. He did n( rt kuow that any one would second the resolutions he was about to propose: but if any Gentleman should do so, he would have the pleasure hereafter of reflecting, that in doing so, he bad stood up for the best interests of the county of Mont- gomery. The following is a copy of Mr. LuxmoreV resolutions:— " That your petitioners have heard with unfeigned gratitude tile declaration of his Majesty's advisers, that the most rigid Economy is to be enforced in every department of the State, and they humbly pray that the' fulfilment of this declaration may be enforced by yonr honourable house, as far as may be consistent with the dignity of his Majesty's Crown, and tlie wel- fare of the United Kingdom, " That your petitioners have also heard that it is the intention of his Majesty's advisers to submit to your honourable house a proposition for a Reform in the representation, of the people. That your petitioners, confidently relying upon the protection hitherto afforded to every description of property, have invested their capital in the cultivation and improvement of the soil; and whilst they cheerfully concur in the necessity of the proposed measure, they humbly pray your honour- able house, that, such a provision may be made for the adequate Representation of the Agricultural Interest of this Kingdom, as may ensure its continued prosperity." R. PRYCF, Esq. of Gunley, thinking it better to wait ( he result of Ihe proceedings of His Majesty's Ministers on the subject of Reform, and of the Coin- mission appointed to investigate the public depart- ments with a view to retrenchment, but more particu- larly anxious to prevent, a division and to preserve unanimity on the present Occasion, seconded the reso- lutions of Mr. Luxmore: at the same time, if the Government disappointed their expectations, he should, with Mr. Corbett, be most ready to come forward manfully and strenuously to support tire objects of the first set of resolutions. The Viscount CLIVE said he offered himself to the notice of the meeting with great regret. The subject before them for consideration was one of great importance ; and he did believe His Majesty's Ministers were honestly bent to bring it forward ; and therefore to him it appeared as if the present meeting of the county of Montgomery seemed to express a doubt of the intentions of the Government. ( No, no J He could not help also observing that the first set of resolutions embodied the particular views of Reform entertained by his honourable and learned friend, and that it had been alleged that the existing distress of the country was owing to the state of the repre- sentation. His own belief was, that the circumstances in which that distress originated were beyond the reach of the present, as they had been of preceding Administrations ; and he should have been more happy to have attended a meeting of the gentlemen ofthe county, to have consulted how they could best relieve the wants and sufferings of their poor neigh hours. As to the several resolutions before the meeting, he thought that by a little arrangement, they could be so modified as to meet the concur- rence of all parties ; although he must say, the consideration of such questions, instead of leading to the alleviation of that distress which it was most their duty to consider, would rather tend to draw off tlieir attention to more distant and less important con- siderations. His hon. and learned friend had not done sufficient justice to the late Parliaments on the score of taxation : they had relieved the country from several of the war taxes: and in doing so, he thought they had in one instance, committed an error : he alluded to the Property Tax, which should, in a modified form, have been retained, as it could have been made to fall exclusively on the wealthy, while an equal amount of taxation might have been remitted in a way that would have greatly benefitted the mass of the community. His Lordship again observed that if certain portions of the resolutions were omitted or modified, he should be happy to give his assent to the views of the meeting: but at • my rate, he trusted, whatever was the result of the question before the meeting, the same good feeling that had existed in the county since he first came to reside in it, would be continued ; and that his honourable and learned friend, and the other gentle- men would stilLfeel the same pleasure in meeting to administer the laws, to attend to tbe general interests of* the county, and to consult on the best method of aiding, employing, and relieving their poor neigh- bours. Sir WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN, without entering into a detail of the difficulties of the question, and without saying that the close borough system ought not to be amended, would just refer to the cases of Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, Mr. Burke, and Lord Brougham, as at any rate specimens of w hat the results of that system were. When they looked too at the pro- ceedings at the late Liverpool and Preston elections, he thought it would be as well to pause, and see what was the measure the Ministry intended to introduce before they came to a decision on the important question of Reform. As to the representation of Counties, alluded to in the petition, lie knew of no objection to the present system, except that copy- holders ought ( as some contended) to be permitted to vote. That, however, could not affect Montgomery- shire ; for he believed there was not a copyholder in the county. W. PUGH, Esq. ( of Bryn Llywarch) said the question before the meeting had now assumed an aspect which rendered it necessary for every friend of the county of Montgomery to state bis opinions, and boldly to avow his reasons for supporting them. The observations of his worthy and reverend friend ( Mr. Nihill) had made it unnecessary for him to say one word on the " atrocious*' system of Borough representation. The requisition for the present meeting was got up without the slightest reference to party or personal feeling, and he and the other Requisitionists utterly disclaimed any such feeling. This Meeting was called to support His Majesty's Ministers, if they really intended to effect that of which they had given notice. If His Majesty's Ministers were not on this question seconded by Ihe voice of the people, most tremendously, most forcibly, and most audibly expressed, it would be impossible for them or any other Administration to carry this important question. The gentlemen who drew up the resolutions had confined themselves to a state- ment of grievances, leaving all details to His Majes- ty's Ministers, to whom they look for a remedy : if tiie Ministry, however, should not bring forward a measure calculated to meet their wishes, he hoped the county of Montgomery would again assemble, and state what their own. opinion is : and he hoped they would now openly and avowedly declare their sentiments, and not say Ihey w- Ould leave it to His Majesty's Ministers : for he was convinced that without the support of the people of England Ihose Ministers could do nothing. The Nublc Lord ( for whom he entertained Ihe most unfeigned respect) had said the meeting would have been better employed iu considering w hat could he done to better the condi- tion of their poor neighbours He could answer for the Requisitiunists, that they were all ready to meet and do any thing in their power to benefit the labouring classes; at the same time he thought the object would be best effected, by each one in his own bosom consulting how he could best promote the benefit or ameliorate the condition of Ihe working classes. He could answer for the good feeling and loyalty of the county being uncontaminated ; lie had no doubt they would remain so, and continue such as to make the county proud of their conduct hereafter. The Hon. Bart, had spoken of the difficulties of the question of Reform: there were great difficulties) and those difficulties rendered it imperative on them to bring their views before Parliament; for unless the people did do so, the Ministry would be defeated. The Hon. Bart, had mentioned a few names con- nected with the close borough system. One of those persons, Mr. Burke, he believed, had said, when speaking of the House of Commons, that it was notorious that seats in that House were sold as commonly as were beasts in Smithfiehl. As to Liver- pool, which had been pointed out to them, it was well- known that there the great majority of the voters were of the lowest rank in life, and however respectable they might otherwise be, in their modes of obtaining a livelihood, it was a glaring fact, that they sold themselves for a bribe to the highest bidder : anil the same might be said of a borough nearer to them than Liverpool! Mr. Pugh, on behalf of himself and the other Requisitionists, ( hen disclaimed all idea of giving countenance to the wild notion of Universal Suffrage, at the same time that they looked upon the close borough system as one destructive of the very principle of freedom of election ( Cheers J, as was proved by the demoralizing practices of giving bribes, annual pittances, & c. The Right Hon. C. W. WILLIAMS WYNN said this meeting of his brother freeholders would not be sur- prised at his expressing a wish rather to collect the opinions of others on this occasion than t6 express his Standing in the situation that he did, having ten times been elected to represent them iu Parlia- ment, and being no « > for the eleventh time a Candidate for that honour, he was, he must repeat, more Anxious to learn what were the opinions of those who had for so long a period done him the honour of placing their confidence in him, tlisn to deliver ies own Sentiments-. It had been truly said by Ills Honourabfe Relation that the question uow brought before the meeting for discussion was a question attended witli the greatest difficulties. Ever since he had had a seat in the House of Commons, it had been his wish to purify that House by every fair and fitting means that had presented itself, and which he had always anxiousily embraced : and thus, wherever a case of delinquency hail been established, he had supported that measure which went to disfranchise such delinquent Borough and to confer the elective franchise on those great communities which, on every principle of the British Constitution, were entitled to the advantages that the possession of the elective franchise bestowed. Of the propriety, of the expediency, of the justice of extend- ing to Birmingham, to Manchester, to Sheffield, and such large and important communities, the elective franchise there could be no question— there were not on that point two opinions- but considerable doubts did exist as to the manner in which that franchise should be conferred— as to the mode in which it should be conceded. Some thought that the number of Repre- sentatives forming the House of Commons ought to be increased ; others ( and he was himself one of that number) had thought the increase that had taken place in consequence of the Union with Ireland had already increased the number of Representatives more than was desirable, and that instead of taking measures to increase their number, it wotild be better to em- brace such opportunities as offered themselves of lopping off' delinquent boroughs, and of transferring the franchise to those important cominOnilica for whose Representation room would thus be made. Notice had been given, on the part of His Majesty's Ministers of their intention to bring forward1 a itfeasure of Parliamentary Reform at are early period ; and he felt the strongest, the most well- grounded assurance in their intention so fo introduce it, as well as in the measure by them to be introduced. He felt confident that it was their intention to remedy the abuses that existed in the Representation : lie felt confident that they would proceed with moderation: he felt confi dent that they would proceed with caution, lest with too rude a hand, instead of paring away abuses, they should tear away that to which this country owed all the blessings it enjoyed. That Parliament might be improved in its con- struction was certain : but he could not assent to the opinion that to the present state of the Repre- sentation they were to attribute all the distresses and difficulties under which the country was labouring. His honourable and learned friend ( Mr. Owen) had said that many of the war taxes still remained, and were now paid hy the country. That was true : and most idle would it be in him or in any one else to flatter them by saying that any set of men whom they could send to Parliament could remove the weight of those taxes, unless they meant to break faith with the public creditor. If they meant to repay those who had advanced them money, those taxes, or others in lieu of them, must be continued ; and he was sure, from the recorded sentiments, often expressed, of this county, no such breach of faith would ever be on their part attempted. When the late war commenced he ( Mr. Wynn) was but a boy— that was in the year 1793. lntheyear 1799, by their kindness he was sent to represent them in Parliament: and his constituents at County Meetings had repeatedly declared that they, as a component part of the nation, considered themselves engaged in a contest for every thing that was dear and valuable to them, and pledged themselves to support that con- test by their personal exertions and by their purses. From that pledge they could not shrink : on that pledge numbers in this country had advanced all the property they possessed : and under no pressure of want, on no plea of distress, under no circumstances whatever would he consent to any violation of public faith. Every measure of retrenchment that was practicable, every plan of economy that was advisa- ble, should have his free and hearty support: but at the same time it must be borne in mind, these measures, these plans could only be such as would operate on existing establishments ; they could not operate to the extinction of what was termed the National Debt. Any unjust infringement on the property forming that debt would affect the relatives of those he addressed, would affect their brothers and nearest friends, would, in fact, affect themselves. Within a few months he had had an opportunity of stating what he now re_ peated, that if again elected to the honour of repre" senting them in Parliament, he would never he so" other than as the free Representative, freely chosen of free Electors: and lie would never consent to be pledged and fettered as to any measures ; but would reserve his opinions free and unbiassed, so. as to bring them fairly to the consideration of such questions as should from time to time be submitted before him If, by their favour, he should be again elected, to the best of his abilities, to the best of his judgment, and on the purest principles of honour would lie exert himself to promote the interests of his constituents and of the country,— to promote every thing that would tend lo their welfare and prosperity. If his judgment should be defective, his integrity and his honour should not be so: and as to the measures on which that judgment should hereafter be exercised, it would be for them to judge as they presented themselves. If he differed in opinion from them, it would be com- petent to them to express their difference from his opinion. More able men they might find to represent them than he was: but lie defied them to find one more honestly determined to serve them faithfully, to the best of his judgment and ability, than he had done for the last thirty- one years. ( Great Applause. J He should regret much to see any thing like disunion on a question as to which all were in principle agreed. All were now agreed that the time was come when it was requisite for Parliament to enter upon a consider- ation of the defects that existed in the state of the Re- presentation On the main question there was no difference; but when lliey came to enter upon the details of it, then great differences were found to pre- vail : and, perhaps, between the various shades of Reform there was as much real difference as between many who professed thenselves Reformers and others who declared that they were not Reformers: for some were for disfranchising corrupt Boroughs only ; while others were for Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot. How then', under such circumstances, was the question of Reform to be settled, but by a mutual disposition to concede : by a disposition on the part of those who were for limited Reform to extend their views, and by those who favoured a more enlarged Reform limiting their views and wishes. By this plan only could such general plan of Reform be effected : for" Reform was one of those questions on which it was scarcely possible to meet with two persons ofthe same views and opinions. Of what were the views of His Majesty's Ministers on this question he was not himself cognizant; and if he were, he was sure the meeting would be of opinion that if he were to communicate them prematurely, it would he more likely to tend to frustrate them than by waiting till they ivere regularly brought forward When that plan should be brought forward, it would be open to the examination and objections of every individual. He had avoided entering into the consideration and discussion of the several Resolutions that had been proposed this day, because if, by their favour, he was again returned to Parliament, he wished to go there as free and as unfettered as he always had done. One point only he had particularly noticed : and which had referred to abuses in the County Representation : he certainly was not aware of what wei'e the objections to the state of the County Representation : for it had very frequently been considered the best mode of effecting Reform was by giving to the County Repre- sentation the addition of that number of Representa- tives which were subtracted from the corrupt Boroughs against which cases of venality had been proved. He could not help observing, that if in the plan of Reform to be proposed, it should be thought proper to disfranchise small or corrupt Boroughs, lie trusted there would still be some mode found of sending men of extraordinary talent to Parliament without the in- terference of the Crown. And here, he thought it should be recollected that even poor, despised Old Sarum, had been the means in the last century of in- troducing to Parliament the first William Pilt, who probably, but for the opportunity thus afforded, would never, as Cornet William Pitt, have found his way into the House of Commons. By the same, or ratiier bv similar means, Lord Brougham, and many other men of great talent, and of first- rate ability, had been enabled to enter the House of Cummous; and whatever may have been the defects, the vices of the small or corrupt Boroughs, if they were abolished, men of great talent, but who did not possess large patrimonies or powerful family interest, would often find great difficulty in obtaining a seat in that assembly in which they could best serve aud promote their country's interest. J. HAYES LYON, Esq. said he thought the best reasons that had been given for passing the resolu- tions that had been first proposed, had been furnished by the Right Hon. Gent. ( Mr. C. W. W. Wyiin) » udthe Hon. Bart. He thought it might be collected from what they had said, that it was not the intention of His Majesty's Ministers to meddle with the close boroughs. The Rt. Hon. C. W. W. WYN* said lie begged to be distinctly understood, that he had expressed no opinion as to the, intentions of His Majesty's Ministers; their views on this question were not known to him ; he had merely expressed his own private opinion. Mr. HAYES LYON resumed.— At any rate be might collect from what had been said, that neither the Right Hon. Gent, nor the Hon. Bart, wished to meddle with the close boroughs. Sir W. W. WYNN said he did not mean to say that lie should vote for the continuance of close or rotten boroughs; but he wished to show the difficulty that would attend their removal. Mr. HAYES LYON said he thought at any rate tho Right Hon. Bart, had recommended the close borough system, by expressing his opinion of the difficulty of men of talent getting into Parliament without the aid of those avenues. There were, however, other ways by whieh men of ability could be returned to Parlia- ment. For how did Mr. Brougham sit for Yorkshire and Mr. Hume for Middlesex, if there were no medium but the rotten boroughs by which such men could bo returned ? It had been said that Parliamentary Reform would not mitigate the severity of public distress : he thought it would, because it would give a new security to those who felt an interest in the country's welfare. The Right Hon. Gent, had said that in cases of delinquency, be would transfer the representation to large towns, and that was the sum total of his view of Reform. [" No," from Mr. Wynn.] If such was the opinion also of the meeting, then, by all means strike out those parts of the first set of resolu- tions that had been objected to: but if it was not the opinion of tbe meeting, then let them cling to those resolutions. ( Cheers. J Something had been said of the difficulties, the differences, and the irritation of the present time, and that, therefore, this was not the period to agitate the question of Reform. He thought otherwise : he thought it would give the people more confidence in the higher orders They had beert told that it would have been better for them to have stayed at home, to examine into and alleviate the wants of their poor neighbours. He trusted the duty thus pointed out bail been performed ; and their objeci in coming here was to recommend measures that would further tend to the same desirable result. ( Cheers.) Adverting to the wish that had been expressed ais to the omission of certain of the first set of resolutions, he wished to know how Ministers could be expected to carry Reform, if the close and rotten boroughs were not to be attacked : while they remained, there would always be a majority against any useful Reform : & nrf if Ministers were not now supported by the people they could not carry their intentions of Reform into effect. The Reform sanctioned by the Right Hon, Gent, would take place when venality commenced j. but the object of the Requisitionists was to prevent the occurrence of such venality. ( Cheers. J He, therefore, would stand by their resolutions as origin- ally proposed, if he stood alone. ( Great applause.) The Right Hon. C. W. W. WYNN hoped tbe meet- ing would permit him to explain one or two points that seemed to have been misunderstood. In the first place, he begged to be expressly understood, when lie said that no conclusion ought to be drawn from any thing he had said, as to what were tbe intentions of His Majesty's Ministers on the subject of Reform. Their intentions were unknown to him j and, as he before said, if they had been known to him, he was sure the meeting would never Itave expected that he was about to communicate what those intentions were. In the next place, it had been supposed that lie intended to confine lib views of- Reform to the transfer of the franchise to large towns, as cases of venality occurred in the close boroughs. Now, if he had not said it, he certainly- intended to say, that the question now was, whether the time had not come, when they might go forward, and endeavour to make room for the representation being extended to large towns, by the removal of some of the decayed boroughs ? He certainly thought the question one of great difficulty, and doubted whether it would be advisable to go into any measure of general disfranchisement. He had said that Lord Brougham first sat for a small borough: he had, it was true, also represented a great popula- tion : but would his talents have been so well known to the freeholders of Yorkshire, if he had not first sat for Winchilsea. Then, there was Mr. Hume, at one time on the medical staff in the Civil Service of the East India Company. Would his abilities have been so well known to the freeholders of Middlesex, if lie had not first represented a body of Scotch Burghs? He mentioned these two great men, because they were instances of the difficulty that might be created bjr the extinction altogether of close boroughs: for if such means had not existed, the public would have remained deprived of many beneficial laws and great Reforms.— After all, perhaps, on no feasible princip4e of representation, would the House of Commons lie formed of very different materials to those of which it was now composed. They were a body of English Gentlemen, of different opinions it was true: but. from a long acquaintance with that House, he felt bound to say, that he believed the great majority were most determinedly anxious to promote, to the best of their ability, the welfare and prosperity of their country. WILLIAM OWF. N, Esq. after paying a compliment to Mr. Niiiill, whose brilliant observations had, he said, almost rendered any further remark in support of the original resolutions needless, proceeded to reply generally on various arguments that had been advanced, which duty he performed at great length, and with his accustomed energy and ability ; con- cluding with the most determined expression of his ardent devotion to the liberties and welfare of his country.— The Learned Gentleman sat down amid great applause. After some explanations had taken place on the part of. several of the gentlemen who had addressed the meeting, the HIGH SHERIFF put it to the consi- deration of the meeting whether, he should read the three sets of resolutions, and take the sense of the meeting upon them respectively, or whether he should first put the original resolutions, which, if adopted, would * render it unnecessary to put the other. The latter mode being acquiesced in, the High Sheriff put the question on the first series of resolutions, namely, those proposed on the part of the Requisitionists. On the show of hands being declared by the High Sheriff to be in favour of the resolutions, a tremendous round of applause followed : and the High Sheriff', after the arrangement that had been made, did not deem it necessary to proceed to put either of the amendments, observing that it would be impossible out of a minority to form a majority of tho meeting in their favour. The other resolutions, as advertised, relating to the preparation and presentation of the Petitions, were then carried: and Sir W. W. WYNN having taken the chair, a motion of thanks to the HIGH SHERIFT was carried by acclamation; and the assembly dispersed. The proceedings of the meeting did not terminate until after six o'clock in the evening. On Sunday, the 5th inst. some servants belonging to a farm house in the parish of Montgomery ( nnd not Llandyssil, as stated in another paper), met in a field in the former parish, to decide a trilling wager by a game at football. Whilst thus engaged iu wickedly profaning the Lord's Day, one of the party suddenly dropped down, aud soon after expired.-— We hope this will operate as an awful warning to sabbath breakers of every description. On Friday- last, a commission was held at the Mer- maid Tavern, Hackney, to determine whether Miss Jane Nanncy, a lady horn in 1781, and stated to be the daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Nanncy, formerly Rector of Dolgelly, was of unsound mind. After hearing the evidence relating to the case of the un- fortunate lady, the Jury returned a verdict, finding that Miss Nanney had been of unsound mind ever since September, 1824. On Tuesday morning, the extensive silk factory of Mr. Wrcnford, at Leek, was burnt to the ground. On Thursday evening, the great ^ Mersey Corn Mills at Warrington were burnt down. Both fires are sup- posed to have been accidental, and in each case pro- perty to a great amount was destroyed.

The transactions in the Corn trade during the week have been to only a moderate extent. Up to yesterday there had been scarcely any arrivals, and the market ' was entirely bare of new Wheat; still, the quantity on sale was fully equal to the demand. The wind having 1 changed, several vessels with grain got in yesterday and - this morning. Some of the cargoes, having been long on board, are in very bad condition, which prevented them being offered at this day's market. There seemed, • however, fit le disposition on the part of the millers and , dealers to purchase, and the trade was extremely dull at the currency of this day se'nnight. Old Wheat has . been ( n fair request at full prices. Oats have moved : pretty freely at a small advance on last quotations. ! Barley, Beans, and Peas remain as last noted, in other articles of the trade there is no alteration. Bonded Fiottr is held at 3' 2s. per barrel.

AT a MEETING of the COUNTY of MONTGOMERY, convened by the High Sheriff, and held at WELSHPOOL on the 13th Day of December, 1830: RESOLVED, That we have heard with great Satisfaction the Declaration of His Majesty's Ministers, that they intend to propose a Reform 111 the Parliamentary Representa- tion, and also to enforce a rigid . Economy in the Public Expenditure. To these Measures we beg to offer our ardent and zealous Support. That it is notorious that there are many Boroughs and_ Places for which Members are returned by, br by the Dictation of, one or two Individuals, many of whom are Peers of the Realm. That such Members so returned form a very large Proportion ofthe Commons House of Parliament. , That it is equally notorious that in many other Boroughs and Places the Elective Franchise is exercised in a most venal and corrupt Manner, whilst mimy large and populous Towns return no Representative. That such a State of the Representation is altogether at Variance with tile British Constitution, an entire Departure from those Principles upon which the Com- mons House of Parliament was originally framed, and has produced, and ( if allowed to exist) will continue to produce, most injurious Consequences. That, with Regard to Counties also, such has been tbe Effect of Time, the Increase of Population, and other Circumstances, that their Elective Franchise calls for Alteration and Amendment. That the Power of returning Members to Parliament ought to be so regulated as not o ily to prevent Dicta- tion or undue Influence ; but also, as much as is possi- ble, to prevent Venality and Corruption, and to accord with the just and rational Principles of Representation. That we notice with deep Regret the heavy Burdens still entailed upon us ; that to alleviate those Burdens the most rigid Economy ought by all possible Means, and in every practicable Way, to be introduced into all Parts of the Public Expenditure, particularly in a gene- ral Revision of its different Departments, by the Aboli- tion of improper Pensions and useless Places, and by the Reduction of all Salaries as far as is consistent with a due Remuneration to the Public Servants, That it is only by the Adoption of such Measures that the Loyalty of the People can be retained, the Durability of the Constitution ensured, and the Peace, and Happiness ofthe Kingdom'preserved. That Mr. OWEN and Mr. BROWNE be requested to prepare Petitions conformable to these Resolutions to both Houses of Parliament; and that Copies of the same be left for Signature at the principal Inns in the County. That the Sheriff do request the Lonn CHANCELLOR to present the Petition to tlie House of Lords, and Vis- count ALTHORP, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that to the House of Commons, That Copies of these Resolutions, signed by the Sheriff, be inserted in each of the Shrewsbury, and in The Times and Courier Newspapers.

A SONG, NOT ENTIRELY BACCHANALIAN. [ From the Edinburgh Literary Journal,] To woman !— a bumper! c'ome pledge me, my hoys, And pledge me with heart a,; d with soul; Give the pedant his learning, the statesman his toys, But ours he the smile and the howl 1 Though it needs not the glow of the generous cup To make woman's presence divine, Ye', wl ere bumpers a e drunk, be the highest fill'd up To the goddess who hallows the wine ; We love the dark j trice of the ruby- lined grape, For the bright thoughts it wreaths round the brain, Like the stars which at twilight from bondage escape, And come forth in the blue sky again : But the thought id' all thoughts is of her we love best, The fond one whose heart is our own— A thought whose effulgence obscures all the rest, As the situ Walts through Heaven alone ! Then to her, boys, to her, be the bumper now crown'd, With feelings which tongue cannot tell: If tlie tone of her voice be a magical sound, If the glance of her eye be a spell ; If the fiu « h of her cheek' be Ihe fairest of sights, ; ff her lip be the holiest shrine. Then, believe me, the toast which ver beauty invites Turns to gold every drop of oflr wine ! If life be a good, ' tis to her that we owe it-— If genius a gift, ' tis that she is the theme-— If love be a bliss, ' tis through her that we know it-— O '. without her this world were a wearisome dream ! Then, a bumper 1 a bumper 1 if ever you fill'd it, A bumper to her, both our hope and our pride 1 A scheme for the future—- if ever you built it—- Fill a bumper to woman and make her your guide! STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Wo live in perilous times ; and if tTio affairs of ( he • Country Arc to be administered by men who, on the subjects of agriculture and commerce, hold such opinions as have been avowed hy the Attorney- General of the New Ministry, as noticed in our last Journal, still more perilous times await us. That a revolutionary spirit, ( let it be dwguised how it may,) is at wort, there can he no question ; and how it has been encouraged and matured to its pre- sent aspect is ably shown by a writer in the number of Blackwood's Magazine just published. The late Ministry, " for several months after it was formed, wad, in genuine popularity, almost the most powerful one that ever existed j it had perfcct free- dom of choice in policy and creed. Had it resolved fo exterminate the spirit of revolution, and re- establish the principles of loyalty, subordination, and harmony, it would have been enthusiastically supported by the better part of the community,' and but little opposed Iiy the other. AIT sides expected it would do so. The bubble of free trade and innovation had burst, and novelty of an opposite kind was wished for. How has ft acted ? " It gained office through the only party which has defended the institutions and g< od feelings of the empire; and then it commenccd a war of extermina- tion against it for defending them. < l It has destroyed this party in respect of feeling and object. As soon as it got fairly seated in office, it made a sweeping change in the fundamental laws of the realm, and in a vital part of the constitution - it did this in defiance of national feeling; and it was enabled to do it by such a hideous display of violated principle and pledge in the Legislature as the astonish- ed world never before witnessed. This of course brought the Crown, Cabinet, Legislature, Aristocracy, nnd Clergy, into fatal conflict with the only part of the community still faithful to them; and it was abundantly sufficient for converting affection into enmity. Ts'othing else could have severed the power- ful bonds which yet bound the mass of the people to their government and institutions. The ground for opposing change and innovation was thus converted into a necessity for them; the party which had op- posed them went over to their advocates. u i?,. ee trade has long been acknow ledged through out the country, even by its friends— saving, of course, the scribblers and orators who write aud speak of what they do not understand— to be a complete failure; a more conclusive proof of the truth of this could not be given, than the fact, that from the five years which have elapsed since it came into effect, grievous suffer- ing has sat. on the community, and especially on those divisions of it which it has more directly affected. Prices and other tilings prove at this moment that the leading doctrines were wholly erroneous on which small notes were suppressed. Here is demonstration that the Legislature has been long on vital matters acting on the most false and mischievous principles; ami can it, therefore, with reason complain that it possesses not the confidence of the people when it still clings to them ? 44 Here is a state of things wholly without example. " What must he the remedies > 4< Give us a Ministry to which some great portion of the community will warmly attach itself; and let it boldly oppose the revolutionary spirit of the age. A mighty physical and moral force, comprehending the authorities of the realm, will thus be at once brought into the field on the side of peace au* l con- servation. " The great objects of the revolutionary part of the people have much less to do with politics, than they had formerly. Reform and a republic are but secondary matters and means; the King is popular aud no great degree of exasperation is manifested to ward's public authorities, " In giving the most prompt and liberal relief to every suffering interest and class, let evil things be sternly repressed in every quarter. In giving food and employment to the labourers, put down their combinations, and bring tlieni again under the government of their masters. In giving protection aud prosperity to the various interests, extinguish those brutal and horrible doctrines which assert that each must flourish through the injury ofthe other.' that the capitalist, must be enriched by the starvation of the labourer; and manufactures must prospe through the insolvency of agriculture. In giving to each interest ail the protection it can fairly desire resolutely compel it to contribute liberally to the benefit of the others. " Let the Aristocracy employ its influence in the House of Commons in aid of all this. Let it at once take up the real cause of the people, and insist on comprehensive enquiry and remedy. Let. it demand ample protection, not only for the small landowner and farmer, but for every manufacturer and tradei who needs it. " Let the Clergy think of their religion, nnd not of themselves— shake off their subserviency to power- cultivate the attachment of the laity— place them selves at its head for the protection of the Church— and labour without ceasing for the extension of it ligion amidst the lower orders. " You may call this unworthy of notice ; be it. so, but What can you hope for from a continuance of the present system. You have got, your cheap labour, and it has given you incendiaries and rebels; you have got your low prices, and they have given you beggary, convulsion, and revolution. You may smite what remains of protection, and then stand still in savage insensibility to the ruin and misery you liave produced ; but will your inaction be tolerated ? You may, when the suffering body brings its dis. tresses before you, " let it alone," but will the let- it- alone system let you alone? Let your present situation cause you to reflect deeply on these questions before you proceed further. It is de- monstrable, that, if the sufferings of your labouring classes be but a little increased, they will, in a mass, overthrow your whole fabric of government and society ;— it is equally demonstrable, that, with your present system, their sufferings will continually increase ;— it is equally demonstrable, that nothing bul legislative measures can remove their excess, and enable their employers to give them adequate wages ; — it is equally demonstrable, that nothing but such measures can relieve the distressed interests;— and it is therefore demonstrable, that you must wholly reverse your system, or have revolution. You have money, land, and every other requisite in profusion for making the empire almost, immediately prosper- ous, contented, harmonious, and loyal ; and woe to you if you refuse to employ them ! 1T PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. An answer has been given to this question in an able pamphlet, entitled Observations on IkeStateof fhe Country, and on the proper Policy of Adminis- tration, which has just been put into our hands— in all the assertions und inferences of which we do not agree, but which demands attention as Ihe counsel of a man manifestly of great information and perfect integrity and boldness. The following is a description which Ihe writer gives of the difficulties of the state of society for which the government has now to provide suitable institutions : « —- " The present condition of society in Europe, and particularly in England, has no parallel in the history of the world. It is pregnant with problems, in the resolution of which little aid can un- fortunately be derived from experience. We are, In fact, entering, as it were, upon a new and un- trodden path. In antiquity a class of free labourers could not be said to exist. All menial, and most mechanical employments, were then carried on by slaves, who, of course, had no voice in, nor influence over, the public councils. During the middle ages, and down almost to onr own times, the labouring lass was but, nominally emancipated. Owing to the peculiar stale of things that grew out of the feudal system, it was every where held in a state of substantial and confirmed dependence upon the Owners and occupiers of land. But since commerce and manufactures began to be prosecuted upon a large scale, which in England Is confined to a period of little more than fifty years, a new and powerful order has arisen in the state— lhat of a vast body of manufacturing labourers, depending ouly on the demand for their services, and liable to lie thrown Out of employment, and deprived of the means of supporting themselves, by every change of foreign or domestic politics or fashions! And bet- fiies this new and most formidable power, the agricultural labourers have been in a great measure thrown loose upon society, or, which is the same thing, they have been emancipated from their former dependence npon their masters They no longer live in the houses of their employers, nor form, as of old, a part of the farmer's family. The latter have been elevated in the scale of society ; their advance has not, however, us is falsely stated, been the occasion of a degradation in the condition of the labourers. Wilh the exception of some districts ill the south, the latter are in a better condition at this moment than they have ever previously been iu. But that sympathy and affection which formerly subsisted between farmers and their servants, has for ever disappeared. A broad and distinct line of demarcation hus been drawn between them. A modem farm is merely a species of manufactory for the production of corn. In many parts a great deal of farm labour is performed by what is called piece, work ; so that the workmen are not even bound to the farmer by the tie, slight as it is, of hired service for a definite period. " So peculiar a slate of things does not exist any where else. In France and other continental states, fhe manufacturing system has made com- paratively little progress ; agriculture is not carried oil in the mode iu which it is carried on here; aud, above all, the bulk of the labourers have u diToct interest in the soil, holding a portion of it either as owners ( which is most frequently the case) or lessees, or in return for services performed 011 the grounds of others; so that, though seldom able to advance themselves to a higher station, they do not run the risk of falling into a state of absolute destitution. fn this country, ou the contrary, the situation of the I'ubourer is most precarious. We declaim loudly, and with justice, ainst Ihe existence of slavery. But the fact is not to be disguised, that, iu respect of security, the labourers of England limy envy the slaves of Jamaica. No workman engaged in agriculture or manufactures can predict, with any thing like certainty, what will be his situation, though in perfect health, a twelvemonth hence. He may be thrown out of employment; aud if so, he has only Ihe workhouse to fall back upon. Were the j> oor laws abolished, what would remain to form a link between the labourers aud the other classes ? " They are but sorry observers who have not adverted to the circumstances now alluded to ; and tbey are still sorrier philosophers who suppose lhat they are not pregnant with difficulty ; and that lliev do not render the tusk of those who may set abo'ut reforming our institutions one of extreme delicacy, and no little danger." p. 10. Ill this state of things, the author argues with great force, that to trust the government of the country to representatives really chosen by the numerical majority of the population— in short, by universal suffrage, would certainly lead to plans of pollution. " There arc in this country," he Observes, " tivo, and only two, classes— those who have something;, and those who have nothing;" that " the former class may be divided into various " subordinate classes, but they are knit together by a powerful bond of union, the desire to protect " the properly they are possessed of." What the writer recommends is in substance this: that the Reform of Parliament should be made extensive enough to embrace all who are possessed of a moderate amount of property of whatever description. " Such a reform," he contends, " as a " prudent Minister should propose, and Parliament " sanction, ought to proceed on tlie avowed princi- " pie ( for the time for finesse and deception is gone " by) of wideningand strengthening the aristocratic basis of the Government." The phrase may lead to misconception, but the principle is right. Every man whose condition affords nn assurance that he is interested iu the security of property must be allowed a portion of the power ofthe State, by joining in the choice of the House of Commons. That the present system of representation cannot stand, it is needless to argue: it is self- condemned Universal suffrage, too, is for the present out of the question: there are certainly not half a dozen men ill either House who will support it. The real dispute will be between two modes— a general and uniform system of suffrage, enlisting in defence of the Government all the moral strength of the com- munity, on fhe one hand, and the patching nnd dressing up of the present motley system on the olher. This last method may be attempted by giving one hundred new members, for instance, to the manufacturing population, and keeping one or two hundred of the present borough members to form a counterpoise on the part of the aristocracy to the new weight given to the people. A pretty counterpoise it will be, with the Iron in one scale und the chaff in Iho olher! Popular feeling will have gained new strength from victory ; the borough members will have become more than ever obnoxious, and new changes will be inevitable. Very slight alterations would, we believed, aud still believe, have satisfied the people if they had been proposed iu time; but now, with a ministry really disposed to reform, the question should be, not how small a change will produce temporary quiet, or even satisfaction; but, on what basis the constitu- tion can stand without danger from the accidents to which the change of society manifestly exposes it. MEASURES NECESSARY TO RELIEVE TIIE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. [ From the Bristol Journal.] [ From ike Globe.] What is the kind of parliamentary reform which the present state ofthe nation demands? Ou a true understanding of the question by the persons in whom the power now resides, it will probably depend whether the changes made in the constitu- tion of parliament slu. ll be final atul satisfactory, or a step onward to a revolution, The Dnke of Wellington's Administration has left a Legacy to il « successors, the discharge of which will, we apprehend, be found a task of no trivial difficulty. It is, in fact, a debt of principle long ago contracted with the country, nnd which has been accumulating for the last three years in a rapid ratio with compound interest. Wc mean an inquiry into the causes of the National Distress ; an inquiry not only refused for many Sessions past by both Houses of Parliament, but refused on the ground of the Ministry denying that there was any distress at all, or, if it did exist, that it was only periodical and partial. It was this bold denial, this deplorable ignorance of the actual state of the country, this want of sympathy of the Government with the people, which broke up the Wellington Administration, and which has produced in nearly one half of the counties in England a slate of insubordination, incendiarism, and misrule, scarcely ever before paralleled iu the pages of our history. We conscientiously believe the origin of this alarming state of Ihe country mainly to have arisen from the frequent tampering with, aud alteration of the Currency, and the adoption of the dogmas of tlie school of Economists, or Doctrin- aires, as they are now called, which sprung up amongst us contemporaneously witli the advocates for a return to the ancient standard or metallic currency. The readers of this Journal must do us the justice to say, that for years past, whoever has been the Minister of the day, we have asserted that the most mischievous effects would result from the change effected hy Mr. Peel's celebrated Bill— that we felt assured the evils it would entail upon us would silently and gradually undermine oar na- tional welfare-— that it woiild unsettle and depreciate all agreements previously made on the faith of Parliamentary Acts— that it would contract Ihe cirT culating medium of the country, not in Hiose parts which contribute to excessive speculations Whft- li have led to convulsions long before small ruotes were known, but that it would operate in those districts which are necessary to support theagri- culture of the country-— which are necessary to the employment of the labouring portion of the population— in short, that it would be found to increase pauperism, and fearfully diminish the na- tional revenue. The vigorous measures adopted and recommended by the new Ministry will, we doubt not, for a time correct the wide- spreading mischief ; examples will most properly be made of the most criminal; aud the condign punishment of the guilty will give a temporary check to the present daring and in- tolerable outrages. But unless au inquiry is imme- diately instituted Into the origin and causes of the distress, and it is clearly ascertained why the bonds which have hitherto so happily united tlie interests of the landlord and tenant, the farther and the la- bourer, the master and the servant, the rich and the poor, why in truth they have been so violently rent asunder, little progress will have been made in preventing a recurrence of the same evils— we shall only have " scotched the snake, not killed it." Parliamentary Reform we know is the only panacea iii the mouths of many for the removal of the evils that beset us. But will Parliamentary Reform restore to us a cheap aud abundant Currency ? Will it enable the agriculturalist lo pay his rent in the same high standard of value which existed at the period when he entered into contract with his landlord, or in which he paid his taxis, before Mr. Peel's ruinous bill came into complete operation? To use the words of Earl Grey, the present Premier, " ull the pecuniary distress under which the people of this country are labouring, and under which they still continue to labour— the depression of property — the fluctuation of prices— improperly and erro- neously attributed to the Corn Laws— are, in my opinion, to be attributed to two measures- i- first, thai signal ait of injustice by which inconvertible paper was made Ihe currency of the country-— and secondly, thai measure which was adopted ( Mr. Peel's Bill) to restore the Currency to its former standard, at the expense of making such an altera- tion in the value of every description of property whatever." This quotation we make from a speech of his Lordship's, reported about two years ago ill the " Mirror of Parliament." How far his Lordship tnay be able to support and enforce such sentiments now he is at tlie head of the State, and has Lord Goderich for his colleague, who on the same ques- tion was at the same period diametrically opposed to him, we presume not to predict. Sir James Graham, too, one of the most talented of the new Ministry, is, we believe, a more strenuous opponent) of Lord Gode, rich's opinions than the P^ ijifiMiSoi-; self; but in Ihe inquiries into the cause of The present distressed state of the country which must now be instituted, the question of the Currency wifl inevitably be forced rnto discussion. Parlia- mentary Reform, the Poor Laws, the most rigid retrenchment aud economy of the public expendi- ture, are, in our opinion, questions of light moment in comparison with this ; for in if is at issue the momentous consideration, whether vested interests shall or shall not be intrenched upon and broken down — whether the productive classes shall or shall not be crushed under the enormous pressure of present difficulties— or whether the interests and the rights of both shall be conciliated und pre- served by all adequate increase, and a renewed depreciation of the currency. If we had adopted a just and practicable currency on the return of peace, two modes of accomplishing this object presented themselves, without producing the slightest injury or injustice to any class of the community. We might either have continued the paper system, under proper regulations, obligating the Bank of England to some given amount of issues, and limit- ing it there or we might have adopted a metallic standard of value, depreciated lo a level wilh the practical currency of the country. If either of these measures had been adopted, every thing would have been prosperous sud secure in England If we had in this way accommodated our Currency to the existing relations of society, instead of at- tempting fo mould or crush society into an arbitrary conformity with an ancient and long- forgotten standard of value, by a just nnd wise policy of this kind, we should have preserved all the elements of our national prosperity in ample, secure, and har- monious operation, without the possibility of injury or distress to any class of the community, ' t he purchase of laud, and the cultivation of land, would have been profitable to purchasers and culti- vators. The millions of money which are now draw n up into the mouey market of London, aud there stagnate in the hands of Bankers and Brokers, and retired Capitalist!", would have been diffused generally throughout the country; and there, in the hands of farmers, manufacturers, traders, and labourers, they would every where have been ac- tively employed in feeding and clothing the popu- lation, in supporting the national industry, and in. working the greut duties of production, and xon- sumption throughout the country. Bu< havliig adopted the blundering theories of Mr. Ricardo Hud the Bullion Committee, whose report wns grounded upon the evidence only of these same Bankers and Bullion!. tw, Loan Contractors, and Brokers, to the sole exclusion of the proffered testimony of all, save our Country Bankers, who lived beyond the precincts of Lombard- street, and through whose channels were diffused throughout the provinces a perennial aid constantly flowing stream of capital, giving energy and vent iu a thousand ways to industry und enterprise ; the practical information wc say, of this important class of the community was never sought for, but even rejected; and in an evil hour, upon ex parte and superficial evidence, Mr. Peel's Bill was fatally enacted ; and now, for- sooth, when its tremendous effects are shaking the prosperity of the country to its very foundation, we are ashamed lo retrace or reconsider onr steps! Our respective Governments for Ihe last five years have been shrinking from the adoption of either of the great alternatives we have before alluded to; they have been wilfully closing their eyes and their ears, and laying the flattering unction to their souls, that it is impossible for them to steer a middle course. But a crisis lias now arrived, which will compel them to institute inquiry, and the time for temporising and wavering is rapidly passing away. Lord Grey's sentiments are on record. They cannot be forgotten. We know indeed he will forcibly be reminded of thein; and should he shrink from the attempt, now that he has it in his power lo bring his preconceived opinions into operation, and shonld he, like his predecessor, abandon all bis former prepossessions for expediency's sake, like him will lie fall in the estimation of his country, and his Ad- ministration will be more short- lived than the last. We cannot think we have written more warmly on this subject than it deserves. Neither do wc write despondingly; for we are convinced, that n real and unshackled inquiry into the State of the Nation, a probing and searching inquiry, will bring to light not only the causcs, but a remedy or remedies for til'- complicated distress that surrouuds us will be elicited. source would be a point of as much importance as ils mouth ; but we have just received an idea of what the source of a river really is, and, in words, it may be defined to be that spot from which the most remote particle of its water proceeds. In a populous country like England, where almost every field has been the subject of a lawsuit, and where everything is surveyed with the most scrupulous accuracy, the source of the Thames has, of course, been determined, yet not one person out of a hundred thousand kuows where it Is ; the reason being, that there is* no practical use in the inquiry — all that one . cares to know being how far the ' Thames is navigable; in short, at what point it ceases to be useful to the community. But if this be the case in a highly civilized conntry, how wild a business must it appear to search for the source of a river through sands and deserts, and savage, barbarous nations, merely to determine from what particular spot its most remote particle of water proceeds! In an army of soldiers, we might as well inquire which is the individual whose father or grandfather was born farthest from the capital; a question which some might call exceedingly curious, but which, we all perceive, would admit of endless and useless discussion. He who embarks in an useless speculation is subject to disappoint- ments which no rational being can lament; and, although we have hitherto supported Bruce both in his facts and feelings, yet, in truth and justice, we have now to admit that, of the above observation, this enterprising traveller himself is a most remark- able example; for, after all his trouble aud perseverance, there can be no doubt, first, that the fountains which Bruce discovered are not the real source of the Nile ; and, second, that he was not the first European who visited even them.— Family Library, No. 17, Life of Bruce. MYS TEIUOUS arte UNA TA NC E. About eight or nine days ago, a man of very respectable appearance was first observed loitering about the avenues of the House of Lords, aud his manner was somewhat singular, but no particular notice was taken of him. He repeated his visit every day ; and on Wednesday as the peers were arriving to take their seats in Ihe house, he was very particular in his inquiries of who they were as they passed. He was at length asked if he wished to see any one noble lord in particular, and he said, " Yes, he wished to see the Duke of Wel- lington." Mr. Gilbert one of the marshals of the ( louse of Lords, hearing this remark, advanced to the stranger, and said, " The Duke of Wellington, sir, is in the house, but this is not a proper time or place to see him. You had better seek him else- where if you have business with him, especially if your business be of a private nature." " I must see him now," replied the intruder. " You cannot," said Mr. Gilbert, who began by his manner to sus- pect something wrong ; " his Grace cannot be seen; choose a more fitting time." The stranger, upon this, became somewhat violent, and said " This is no time for delay; thank God the period has arrived when distinctions are nearly levelled, when the distance between the rich and the poor is not im- measurable. I have business of infinite importance with the Duke of Wellington and it must be settled now." Mr. Gilbert, seeing that he was becoming greatly excited, attempted to remove him ; but had no sootier placed a hand upon him, than he took a pistol from his breast pocket, and clapping to his ( Mr. Gilbert's) side, said, " Now, take that!" and drew the trigger. The pistol missed fire, and Mr. G. haviug very naturally drawn back, another officer came up, and was about to seize the man by the collar, when he stepped back, and re- cocking the pistol again, drew the trigger; but again, by a strange and truly providential accident, it " snapped." He was then rushed upon by several persons and secured, and the pistol and a large knife taken from him. The latter weapon was of a most formidable description, and was taken from under his waistcoat. It was a butcher's knife, which had been recently ground, and sharpened lo a double edge. The pistol was found to be loaded with ball. The prisoner was taken to the bar of the House of Lords, and from thence to the office of Lord Melbourne, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who immediately sent for Sir Richard Biruic, and a formal investigation took place, which lasted several hours. The name of the prisoner is Seek, and lie was ascertained to be mate of a vessel trading from Liverpool to Ayr, Scotland. In answer to questions put to him, he said " he had an account to settle wilh the Duk » of Wellington." The knife was produced, and proved in evidence to have been purchased by the prisoner from a butcher, and ground and sharpened according to his directions shortly after his arrival in London. The evidence adduced was quite sufficient to war- rant the committal of the prisoner by a magistrate ; but a difficulty arose in consequence of his being, legally speaking, in the custody of Mr. Gilbert, the Marshal of the House of Lords, and other officers of thai house. This difficulty, however, was removed by Lord Melbourne, as Home Secretary, moving in the house that the prisoner should be handed over to the magistracy, which was agreed to as a matter of course. Upon the return of his lordship from the House of Lords to his office at Whitehall, Sir R. Birnie made out a commitment for the prisoner to the House of Correction, Coldbath- lields, and at once handed him over to Rulhven anil Ellis, two of the chief officers of the Bow- street establishment, by whom lie was taken to prison. He was conveyed in a hackney- coach ; and on the way he said he anil others had suffered greatly, and he was determined to bring the matter to an issue.— There ia no doubt that the prisoner is insane. Sir M. VV. RIDLEY hoped the government would take the same view of the subject with his hon. friend, the member for Limerick. Mr. CALCRAFT said that, unless the coal mono- poly in the north of England was broken up, the public would not derive any advantage from the remission of the tax. After a few words from Mr. TENNANT and Lord G. SOMERSET, the petition was brought up. Sir M. W. RIDLEY said the competition amongst the coal- owners themselves would prevent a ( mono- poly. If the duty were taken off, tlie public would enjoy the sole - benefit of the repeal. The petition was laid ou the table, and ordered lo be printed. iWisccHanmis EntcUigcncr. TO THE MAGISTRATES. The following letter has been issued from the Home Secretary's Office: ( CIRCULAR.) Whitehall, 8th Dec. 1830. SIR,— I am commanded by His Majesty to lose 110 time in acquainting you that it has been observed with great, regret that the justices of peace and others have in many instances, under the influence of threats and intimidation, and the apprehension of violence and outrage, advised the establishment of an uniform rale of wages to be paid for labour in their respective neighbourhoods, and have also, from the same motives, in many instances recommended the dis- continuance of the employment of machines used for threshing out corn and for other purposes. Reason and experience concur in proving that a compliance with demands so unreasonable in them- selves, and urged in such a manner, can only lead, and probably within a very short period of time, to the most disastrous results; anrl that the tranquillity which is obtained by concessions grounded upon principles sri erroneous is likely to be of very tran- sient duration. The justices of peace must be aware that they are invested with no general legal authority to settle the amount, of the wages of labour ; and any interference in such a matter can only have the effect of exciting expectations which must be disappointed, and of ultimately producing, in an aggravated degree, a renewed spirit of discontent and insubordination. Upon the second point it is only necessary to observe, that these machines are as much entitled to the protection of the law as any other description of property, and that the course which has been taken of prescribing or recommending the discontinuance of them is, in fact, to connive at, or rather to assist in the establishment of a tyranny of the most oppressive character. His Majesty's government are fully sensible that allowance is to be made for the new and difficult circumstances in which magistrates have been placed by the recent disturbances which have occurred in various parts of the kingdom ; but under no difficulty, nor in any extremity, ought principles so contrary to the general interests of the community, and so injuri ous more especially to the welfare of those who have been deluded into the commission of these offences, to be recognized, still less to he sanctioned by per- sons iu authority, whose duty it is at all hazards to maintain the authority of the law and to secure the liberty of the subject. His Majesty's government feel deeply for the sufferings and privations which have of late years pressed, and still continue to press severely upon the labouring classes of the community. They are anxious to adopt, as speedily as possible, every prac- ticable and reasonable measure for their alleviation ; but they are also entirely convinced that these suffer- ings will only be increased and protracted by a course of concession to violence and tumult. It is my duty, therefore, to recommend in the strongest manner, that for the future all justices of peace, and other magistrates, will oppose a firm resistance to all demands of the nature above described, more especially when accompanied with violence and menace; and that they will deem it their duty to maintain and uphold the rights of pro- perty, of every description, against violence and aggression. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, MELBOURNE. SOURCES OF THE NILE. There is, perhaps, no geographical problem which has occupied the attention of so many ages as the discovery of the sources of the Nile. If the Nile had flowed through a rich and au inhabited country, the information required would, like the water itself, have rushed rapidly from its source to its month ; but, in the great sandy desertiof Nubia, the problem was absorbed, and the rUteeji thus flowing in mysterious solitude and silences- Teached Euypt— having left its history behind' It The curiosity, therefore, not only of the Egyptians, but of strangers of all countries, was constantly excited. The fruitless attempt of Catnbyses to penetrate Ethiopia— the eager inquiries which Alexander is said to have made on his first arrival at the temple of Jupiter Amnion, and the expedition of Ptoleiny Philadelphus, are the most ancient of these quiries, which were occasionally the subject of discussions to Ihe lime of Bruce, and from his death up to the present day. If a river, like a canal, was as broad aud valuable at one end as the other, its HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY, DUTY OK SEA- BORNE COALS. Mr. WILKS presented a petition from Lincoln, praying for a repeal ofthe duty oil sea- borne coals. As the liou. member for Limerick had given notice of a motion upon the subject, he wished to know whether it was his intention to persevere in that notice. Mr. S. RICE felt that it would he improper in him to give an answer to the question at preseut, as inferences would be drawn from it respecting the intentions of the government, which it would be premature to disclose as yet. Mr. O. GORE said, as the hon. secretary had declined giving an answer to the question put to him by the hon. member who held the petition, he thought it right, in consequence of the numerous applications which had been made to liitn on the subject from Ihe part of the country which he had the honour to represent, to state to the house lhat he most fully concurred in what had fallen from the hon. member ou his right. It was a most partial and unjust tax on those parts of the country which did not possess the advantages of either inland navigation or steam carriage, aud are far removed from the coal countries. The face of the country with which. he was connected, North Wales, pic vented the likelihood, if not the possibility, of those advantages. The tax went not only to the injury ofthe industry of the country, as a burthcu upon all manufactures, but it affected the health of the lower classes; for it was uniformly found, where firing was scarce and expensive, malignant diseases, arising from damp, prevail— typhus and all the horrid , train; of infectious fevers. Under the circumstances, should the honourable secretary think proper to alter his intention, and waive his notice, he thought the subject of such national importance, lhat should no olher member more adequate to the task undertake it, he would him- self give notice of bringing it in a specific shape before the house after Christmas. He wished to advert to its having been held out, if his memory did not fail, by Lord Castlereagh, as an inducement to carrying' the Union between Ireland and Eng- land, that this obnoxious duty should be removed frOnt the sister country. Mr. WARCURTON supported the petition, and declared his intention to bring forward the subject after Christmas, in case it should be given up by the hon. member for Limerick. Gen. GASCOYNE spoke in favour of the petition. Sir 11. BATESON expressed a hope that ihe lion, gent, would persevere in his intention. Sir T. ACLAND expressed a similar wish, and pledged his intention to bring it forward after Christmas. Mr. O'CONNELL thought the measure would be of great importance both to England and Ireland. Mr. BROWNLOW said a few words to the same effect, In the Court of King's Bench, on Wednesday last, Captain Jebb, late of the Oxford Blues, was found guilty on all the counts of the indictment against him, for a series of gross, false, and malicious libels on Colonel Sir Robert Hill, K C. B. the nature of which has been stated by us iu former Journals.— The offender will be brought up for judgment on a future day. Same day, Captain Jebb was- found guilty ofa series of gross, false, and malicious libels upon Lieutenant- Colonel Hanmer, of the Oxford Blues. IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS.— Mr. Slaney has introduced a Bill into the House of Commons, ( which has been read a first time,) making the Landlords of all Houses under £ 12 per annum accountable for the Poor's Rate ou the same instead of the occupying tenant. A COINCIDENCE.— In 1463, during the civil war in France, William Armand, Visconnt Polignac, raised the standard of rebell ion, but was soon after- wards arrested. It was a General Lafayette whom the King sent against him, and who took possession of Iiis chatcau. Is it not strange that uow, after three centuries and a half, a Lafayette should again have overthrown a Polignac ?— Paris Paper. The late Mr. David Hartley brought a certain Bill iuto Parliament, which, he subsequently discovered, required considerable amendments, and his solicitations to that effect not beiug attended to he frequently observed in that quaint aud antiquated style by which bis language and writings were distinguished, that " he thirsted to amend his bill Upon which a worthy memb. r at length got up and said—" Mr. Speaker, I humbly move, since that Hon. Member thirsts so much, he may bo allowed to mendhis Draught." This put thchouse into such good humour that they granted his request. Ou Saturday, the 27th ult. a band of rioters assembled in the parishes of Bibury and Col Rogers, Gloucestershire, where they demolished number of threshing machines, & c. the property of various individuals. On Monday, however, a strong civil force was collected together by Lord Slier borne, and the gentlemen of the neighbourhood who succeeded in capturing many of the offenders, fifteen of whom have been committed to the couuty gaol. Every person digging gold in the Cherokee country has been driven off by tho United States troops, who amount to upwards of 300 strong, and are under the command of Major Wager. Nearly 200 prisoners were taken and kept in confinenisnt one day and night, and then driven out of tha nation. Some of the Georgians who were takeu complained of very harsh treatment, such as being whipped aud beaten with swords. One of thd richest gold mines yet discovered in Georgia hat) been found on the land of Mr. Elrod, a most respectable citizen of Hall county, who lives seveit or eight miles from Gainesville. By accounts, this gold mine is indeed a treasure. On the 21st iust, seven hands made at this mine 205 pennyweights o( pure gold, equal to about 180 dollars, or about 2( 1 dollars to the hand, per day— the next day they got about eight dollars to the hand. This is what ia called a ridge mine. The surface it almost covered with roek all of which contains gold in greater or less quantities, and which is obtained by breaking; or pounding the rock.— Georgia PapCr, Oct. 2. The London Publishers have got up their Annuals for the approaching year, in a style of great beauty and elegance. Let any one compare these Christmas presents, embellished ttlilr the choicest specimens of art, with the wretched tasteless toy- books of twenty years back, and he will feel how much the present generation is indebted to the com- - biuation of talent employed in the preparation of them. We have cast our eye over two or three of these, the GEM particularly, and another called Marshall's CHRISTMAS BOX, which would grace the table of the drawing- room or the boudoir. Tho employment which these annuals give to an ingenious and not very opulent class of artists is not among the least of the reasons for giving them encouragement. The engravings of the Gem are under the super- intendence of Abraham Cooper, Esq. R. A. There are twelve of them, in illustration of tlie talcs f> r poems to which they are prefixed. " The Blood- hound" is from a painting by Cooper: the " Portrait of a Boy" is from the well- known picture by Sir Thomas Lawrence; and that of " Lady Russell" from the picture by Squires. " Evening" makes a very beautiful engraving, and " La tour du Marchc, Bergucs," exhibits great force and distinctness of architectural character. " The Young Shipwrights" in the Gem is a sweet design and executed with great delicacy. Among the list of contributors to- the literary department, arc to be found the well- known names of Mr. T. Roscoc, Dr. Bowring, Mr. Barnard Barton, Miss Mitford, and several other favourites of the Muses. NEW ASPECT OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.— The Metamorphoses on the Benches of the Houses of Parliament appear most singular. It is not that old sturdy oppositionists are seen ia the Treasury seats, or that well broken in members of the Treasury are to be viewed upon the opposite benches, which looks BO unaccountable, for such transitions are not uncommon; what strikes the spectators is the manner in which each member bears iiis change. Mr. Calcraft seems quite at homo ou either side, and so does Sir J. Scarlett. Sir George Murray sits in his usual philosophic magnanimity ; Sir Henry Hardinge cannot sit still at all, but wriggles about so that he reminds you of the giant of old, who, though torn from his seat by Hercules, left part of his body adhering to the old place. Sir Robert Peel looks sternly resigned, and Mr. Croker looks in despair. Mr. Hume occupies his identical old spot, with his broad shoulders against the blue post, with Preston Wood on his right hand, and Milesian O'Connell before him. We are pers'uaded that Mr. Hume's pertinacity is derived from leaning his head so long against the post: he seems like Great Dagon, " fixed is his everlasting seat."— Therearc innumerable members who sit looking wistfully at their old quarters, and peep under the table and in all directions round it, to find some devious meandering path. As to ' the new ministers, they seem so unused to the right side of the House, that they know not how to sit. Lord Sefton reposes, massive, secure, and confident; Mr. Spring Rice looks like a new recruit, fed on quicksilver, and on the perpetual qui vive against his enemies; Lord Morpeth takes it very quietly, aud Sir J. Yorke looks like the officer of the watch, ready to hail every strange sail. Not one of tlm ministers sits upright, or at his ease, but each lolls,, or sits oil the edge ofthe cushion, like a school- boy afraid to spoil a drawing- room chair, or like an old gaffer, whose gouty chair wants stuffing. A fewr seem to have fancied lhat their scats were to bo stuffed with gold dust, and have fouud thein only saw- dust.— Court Journal. LET WELL ALONE— Notwithstanding the dis- tinguished part that Mavromlchalis took iu Iho revolutionary contest, he is strongly suspected of looking back with regret to the good old times when he was Bey of Maina, and possessed of sovereign authority. His official functions are now merely those of a senator, and, instead of having any weight in the government, he is considered as cipher. His own words will best describe his sentiments. A frieud of his paid him a visit one day at a new house he had constructed, and re- marked to Mavroinichalis, that he thought it ex- tremely comfortable. " Yes," auswered the chief, ' but you should have seen me in my Beyship of Maina."—" How 1" said his friend, " do you regret former times? What theu induced you to rise against the Porte?"—" Why, the fact is, that although I was already powerful and rich, 1 wished to become more so ; a crowd of agents surrounded me, and promised lhat I should be made Prince of Greece; so I threw myself headlong into tho revolution. What has been the result? My sou was killed. I was used as a tool until my services were no longer required ; aud now I aui a mere man of dirt."— Trant'i Greece. LABOURING POOR— The Rev. W. Bernard, of Clatworthy, has lately published an " Address to the Inhabitants of Milvcrton," wherein lie details a plan for bettering the condition of the labouring poor, which met with the ready support of the farmers in the neighbourhood, and has been tried for upwards of a year, and found to exceed the most sanguine ex- pectation of its success :— " Our plan ( says the Rev. Gentleman) is, that the churchwardens and overseers of the poor, bei thereto empowered by the parishioners in vestry assembled, do provide the means of letting to the labouring men of the parish having families half an acre of land, of good average quality, as near his dwelling as circumstances will admit. That it be let to the poor man at the same rent which a farmer can afford to pay for land of the same quality. That he shall hold it from year to year upon a fair and honest understanding from the parish that he shall not'be dispo sessed so long as he punctually fulfils the con- ditions annexed to his occupancy. And, as an en- couragement to industry, the labourers are given to understand that the parish officers will do their utmost to provide an additional half acre for each of such labourers as show themselves deserving of it, by their superior diligence and general good conduct; but in no case whatever shall more than one acre be let to any man, unless he can show most clearly, from the size and number of his family, that he is capable of managing a greater quantity of land, without inter- fering with his regular labour for the farmer. The conditions under which the parochial allotments are held are as follow: — First, on no account whatever to plant more than half an allotment to potatoes in one year, nor to take two successive crops of them; second, each allotment to be manured at the com- mencement with 16 hogsheads of lime per acrc, and every succeeding year at the rate of eight; third, no plough or harrow to be permitted on an allotment, but the whole to be cultivated by spade husbandry; fourth, not more of the produce to be sold than sufficient to pay the rent; fifth, no live stock to be suffered on any allotment; sixth, any person con- victed of felony to forfeit his allotment at the expira- tion of the current year." The plan has been successfully tried in Norfolk. DR. WRIGHT'S CELEBRATED PEARL OINT- MENT.
